Taking a break from the intensive mugging for my finals. Five papers this semester, I'm seriously suffocating. So drained, so tired.

I managed to meet Sissaye for supper last night, it was a impromptu decision! I love how we are just two levels apart, it just takes me one minute to get to her house. We had a good chat in her room like the good old times! KPT Sq for some kway chap and we headed home close to 3a.m!

You're so awesome I can't imagine the past one year without you. School, OIP, weekends would be so different. I'm glad to know we are working towards our own goal and we are helping each other with our studies whenever one needs help.

A recent photo of us!

Not forgetting, HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY to all my loveliest friends. This year, I didn't have the time to design cards and thank them for being such wonderful people in my life. I hope I'll have to chance to do so after exams!

February 2012

2012-02-10T01:22:00.000+08:00

Lost my blogging bug but I realised how much I've missed out, because I used to read my archives to revive those good old memories, but now I can only rely on my memory.

How time flies, the last time I really blogged my thoughts on this web page was 7 September 2011, when I was in Shanghai for my Overseas Immersion Program. Now I've no idea where to start on this entry.

Just ended my first paper out of the five this semester - Economics. It was a tough paper but nevertheless I had put in my best effort. Now that this taxing paper is over, I can finally concentrate on my four remaining core papers. It's gonna be a long, tiring week ahead. Right now I'm looking forward to my Hong Kong trip with Mummy & Bro which is in one month's time. Shopping, relax and spending quality time with my Mummy. :)

I've underwent many changes in the year 2011 - I turned 18, I clubbed like a young and wild youth, finally had the courage to put on braces, learned how to cherish the people around me, independence in Shanghai and better time management. I have a lot to improve on, especially on my financial management. Shopping spree for five weeks in Shanghai killed me literally when I came back to Singapore, where everything became so expensive overnight yet I failed to control my shopping expenses. The boy had tried to control me but I bought so many apparels behind his & Mummy's back. It only struck me that I went overboard when I had to shift some of my apparels over to Mummy's wardrobe and my wardrobe is as packed as sardine. Surrendered my iBanking device and confessed all the dresses hiding in my room to my Mummy. It's time to stop spending money and start saving.

The presence of the boy in my life changed me. He's so different. We're going to be one year old soon, this coming Valentine's Day. Plans on that day? Study hard for our final exams. Year 2 is coming to an end. Sometimes I regret not entering a JC, given my O level aggregate score. Oh well, I'm doing fine in Poly and I hope to do even better in the remaining days of tertiary education.

On the way home, it struck me that since I am currently now a business student, what I am lack of now is just Fashion knowledge, hence I thinking of taking up a Degree in Fashion Design. Giving a serious thought right now after hearing Melissa & Shermaine's advices. At least I know what I want now.

Oh did I mention the awesome MRSW I spent with this semester? Friends after OIP, they are indeed different. We went through five weeks of good times in a foreign country and we're back in Singapore with bonds stronger than ever. :)

On a side note, Sissaye has disappeared from my life :( Hope she's doing well in her new school and will meet me soon. <3

The boy's sick, hope he recovers tomorrow morning when he wakes up. I will do a proper post soon, with pictures, I promise. Wish me luck for exams! x

Sounds Familiar?

2011-12-10T21:14:00.000+08:00

You guys randomly start talking one day. He compliments you and tells you you're pretty and cute. He asks you about your past relationships and you ask him about his. When you tell him you've been hurt multiple times, he tells you that those guys are all jerks and stupid for letting a girl like you go. You then go on and share and tell him somemore stories about your past and he tells you his. He starts flirting with you and you start flirting back. Then he asks for your number and you give it to him right away. The next day he texts you and tells you good morning and tells you to have a good day. Soon talking to him becomes a part of your daily routine and you wait for him to text everyday to text you. Whenever you receive something from him, you start smiling and your day instantly becomes better. He texts you daily asking how your day went. You talk to him all night and he always asks if you're tired and if you want to go to bed. The night conversations you've with him are always the best and the deepest. You sleep when he sleeps, and he sleeps when you sleeps. Now he wants to meet up and hang out with you when you meet up with him, you feel even more chemistry with him and you feel butterflies in your stomach every time you talk to him everytime you talk to him. Now you tell your friend about what an amazing guy he is and you're interested in him. Soon he confessed that he is interested in you and you tell him that the feeling is mutual. You go on more dates with him and he starts giving you nicknames and calling you baby. You feel like you're the happiest girl alive and the feeling is so strong between you guys. One day, he suddenly stops texting you first. When you guys talk now, its only b'cos you hit him up first. Things changed and you don't understand what unexpectedly happened. He stops putting effort talking to you and doesn't show that he still wants to be with you. You become extremely clingy and you don't want another girl in the picture. You can't help wondering what went wrong. You ask him if anything is wrong and he tells you everything is fine. Then you start thinking he's mad at you for something you did, but he assures you that you need to to relax and everythings okay. He tells you that he's just been busy. So you wait for awhile and nothing is changing. He's still "busy" all the time and he doesn't even try to talk to you. Now everytime you talk to him it becomes an argument. And you get scared that you're being annoying by hitting him up first, so you stop talking to him. Months pass, and you don't talk to him at all. You never know what happened. B'cos of him, everyday and night you're hurt and upset. You don't know what went wrong in the relationship between the both of you. Your friends tell you to forget him and that he doesn't deserve someone like you. But you can't seem to listen to them, you're already too attached to him. You miss the old person he used to be and you don't even know what he has changed into. And one day you see that he has a new girl in his life. He's calling her cute names and telling her everything he used to tell you. He calls her baby and tell her he thinks she's gorgeous. He tells her everything you've heard before. He seems completely fine without you and now he has someone else to talk to and text everyday and night. You refuse to believe that he played you, but it's true. You're still hurt and he has already moved on. You're still sad and everything you do reminds you of him. You can't stop thinking about him and you cry every night thinking about him. You still secretly hope that one day he will start talking to you again and you guys will pick up where you last left off but you also know that it will never ever happen. You compare every guy you now meet with him. He's already forgotten about you but you're still having a hard time letting go. Sound familiar?"

until now, i still secretly hope you're doing well.

Shanghai Day 3

IT WAS A TIRING DAY AFTER ALL THE SHOPPING!!!
Bought many pretty shoes. I wanna upload here but the internet here is really bad!
So it's all on Facebook! Ultimate loveeee. Definitely worth the money! I wanna go back there again.

Anyway it's at @ Qi Pu Lu 七扑路 !

It was hard to fetch a cab after all the shopping.. and guess what?
Wanning, Yuxuan, Felix, Xin Xing & I took a black cab. ^%$!@#$%^&*((*&^$#$%^&*&^%$%^&*(
It was such a horrifying experience!
A black cab is actually very dangerous in Shanghai, the driver may just drive you to somewhere else or extort you after you've reached your destination.
In deperation, we took one.

Dinner back at Italian Restaurant. Pizza again! Watsons for some necessities and I'm back.

BCOMM test on Friday, gotta study soon.

P/S Go to my Facebook for more pictures! x

Shanghai Day 2

Hi guys! I'm adapting well in Shanghai. :)

So basically we touched down on 5 September, 6:30 a.m at China, Putong.
Then it was orientation. 42 zombies without sleep almost the whole night were roaming around Shanghai University.
Welcome lunch at Four Point Hotel. It was buffet style. First meal in Shanghai, so not used to it but managed to keep my stomach full.
Dinner was some good food at Italian Restaurant! Company was great too - Wanning, Shermaine, Melissa, Yuxuan, Jianrong & Jed. :)
Went to the mart nearby our hostel to get some necessities. Things were damnx100 cheap here.
It was some crazy shopping with the girls, and the guys.

Knocked out @ 11ish.
Ohhhhhh by the way, hostel condition is good. Toilet is fine too, but Singapore is better. Heh.
Room is so cosyyyyy! Bed too. At least I'm not getting insomnia here!

So yup, that's my first day in Shanghai.

And then day 2 is when lesson starts!!! BCOMM 2 here I come!
Hahahha and the girls were ALMOST late for lesson. No breakfast. How sad?
I managed to keep myself awake throughout the lesson. Snacks tmr!

Lunch was with the Chinese students. Haaaa. Nice experience, but I must say our Mandarin sucks.
Back to hostel, and off we go - SHOPPING!
Hell yeah. But I didn't manage to get anything. Hope I can get things from H&M and other places soon :)

Dinner was at some Korean restaurant. So so I guess.

Alrighty, time to rest and get ready for another long day ahead!

2011-09-03T12:39:00.005+08:00

Last night in Singapore

I really hard to believe that I'm actually leaving tomorrow.. Last night with my bed... I'll miss so much things in Singapore. My family, Sissaye, friends and my pretty dresses!!! I'm only bringing one over cuz it'll be so cold there and I'll be in jeans most of the time. I hate wearing jeans cuz I look so ugly in it, and you hardly see me in one!
Luggage not done yet, so many stuff to do in such a short time. Going back to school at 9 almost everyday. So much for "Rest well before we go to SH!"

So last Friday night was well spent with Sissaye, instead of Zouk :) It was a great evening. Got my DSLR pouch.

ION Orchard - The Provence

Crumpler DSLR pouch

Orchard Central

Unintentional lighting

My Fav picture of Sissaye ^^v

Fat face, haha

The next entry will be in Shanghai! x.

Oreo Cheesecake

Oreo Cheesecake for my Mom. Happy Birthday Mom :D

I am never a potential housewife and therefore even thou it's a cake meant for my mom, I did it together with her help. I had so much fun baking together with Mom and webcamming with my cousins at the same time.

Can't wait to share the cake with my friends!

Leaving Singapore in less than a week's time. Having mix feelings about it. It's really time to be independent.
OIP intensive preparation Day 1 went on fine, the trip seems fun, but at the same time, the assignment and project part just suckkkkkkkk seriously.
I HAVE YET TO PACK MY LUGGAGE! :(

After exams had been partying all the way! Rebel/Zirca on Friday and then chalet with #BACU.
Thank you so much for all the fun~ Gonna miss you guys when I leave Sg. Wished I were in Sg and I can party with y'all every week!

October awaits. Time to settle DPick stuffs and pack my luggage. Till then..

2011-08-25T17:58:00.003+08:00

Insomnia

"When you are having exams, I feel stress too :("
"Why?"
"Because you'd lock yourself in the room and study for weeks. I'm more used to you getting all dressed up and go out all the time"

HAHHAHAHA MY MOM IS SO CUTE.
Insomnia for the past 2 nights. Terrible. Alone on my bed, wide awake.
I'm going to party hard after exams! WOOHOOOOOOOOO. FUN AWAITS and then... I'll be leaving Singapore.

I'm not ready to go yet, are you ready to let me go? Hmm. Till then..

:)

Confessions of a Shopaholic

Googling about clutches and I found these. Awesome isn't it? ^^
Bought 2 clutches recently. Money's depleting like mad. I really need to exercise self control.

Exams gonna end this Friday. Honestly, I can't wait! x.

2011-08-20T12:34:00.000+08:00

For Awesome 4, my really awesome clique. It's been 3 semesters sticking together, and now I guess it's the time we really hate to face - Separation.
For Wan Ning, Jia Lian and Madalene. You girls play an important role in my Polytechnic education life. I wouldn't imagine the days without you girls. As the clique name says, we are awesome.

I know we had said this countless times. But I still wanna say... Do you girls remember how we met during DSS class? Kuah-jie assigned us to one group. We had to choose a group name and I named us A4.
That started off our poly life. Insane DSS PBL projects, and all other modules we took. Frustrating irritating ITB, practicing together for our BCOMM 1, making customized rings and necklaces for ECD.

The bazaar, and we all went on STOMP.

and us, always eating. Sushi Tei, Sakae Sushi, Crystal Jade. The high times at BAOW, Tecktonik camp/chalet.
I'll never forget our unglam times taking photos of our double chin!

Of course, we have our down times. Despite all, I really hope we will still have our outings, lunch and bimbo times together. OIP trip is going to separate us into 2, but I'm sure we will still stand strong. Yes? :)

2011-03-18T01:48:00.000+08:00

this summaries my day out with mom. finally took a day off specially just for her.
and met sis at night at clarke quay and back to sk for supper!! ^^

2011-03-10T12:08:00.000+08:00

6 Mar

I wanna thank my bro for buying iPhone4 for me!!! :D
Hehehe, went Taka, 313 Singtel and Plaza Sing to look for ONE iPhone! UNDER THE HOT SUN, WE WALKED FROM ORCHARD TO DHOBY!!!
We almost went home so Bro can drive around Singapore to look for iPhone. *TOUCHED!* but ofc we found it in PS so we saved petrol. hahah ^^

Ended off my day perfectly by having steamboat with Bro & Dad
