Biggest Ang Bao this year,

2012-01-25T22:24:00.001+08:00

Unable to celebrate CNY this year due to the demise of beloved grandfather couple of years back. I still miss him to this day, remembering the last words he said to me. :’)

Still, although I can’t do actual visiting, that doesn’t stopped me from getting red packets. Hehe. Plus I am working part-time, and my boss gave me a rather big ang pow, considering the fact that I worked for NET less than a month. Yeah, in case some of you still do not know, I am working part-time because of some personal reasons. It is time I stop depending on my parents altogether. It is tough, doing so much all at the same time but there isn’t much of an option for me anymore, so I just have to make do with it. Got to stop living like a princess one day.

Agreed to go for NET’s Annual CNY dinner since I had pretty much nothing on. It was held at Topone Karaoke at Bugis and never am I going back there again. It is like those TW karaoke lounge, people could smoke anywhere and there were like “brothers” there and lounge girls too. Eww. Nevertheless, no regrets going cause I got to bond with my colleagues!

From left: Yu Dan, Wei Sheng(Edwin), Carrie and yours truly

The 3 female employees of NET

Same age,

so we kinda clicked almost immediately, already started gossiping already. The world is super small alright, we actually have things in common! Oh yes, there were drinking during the dinner, the company bought quite a number of jugs in, but I didn’t drink too much, after all, I walked home from MRT.

Guy on right: Yi Xuan, also same age!

Anyway, the highlight for me during that dinner is not the singing or competition, but instead…

WINNING AN 8GB IPOD TOUCH IN WHITE

Yup, you didn’t see that wrong. Haha! There was, apparently this lucky draw and all who turn up that day were given a chance. Tampines One has never won this lucky draw before because we have too little employees so I didn’t expect to win first prize. I still remember the emcee say, “miracle has happened, it is TO… “ then she didn’t know how to pronounce my name. Haha, but once I heard Liew, I knew it was me! HAHA!

The big boss of NET

When I went back to sit, Wei Sheng still could tell me say that the first prize last year was a camera and he was guessing it could be an iPhone, can you imagine my excitement? Although I don’t fancy the iPhone very much, but what’s there to lose to get a free phone? Besides, I didn’t believe that NET was willing to give such an expensive product to the employee.

I also remembered saying that TO’s luck is going to change because I won first despite the probability. Haha, and to think I am the youngest employee. HAHAHAH!

Nah, it wasn’t an iPhone, it was an iPod, but that wasn’t a killjoy because I wanted to buy myself another iPod after giving my mum mine, so it seems like God is helping me save some bucks. Hehe.

So that was it for my CNY, besides that I also gotten my merit award from the Liew Clan Association for academic excellence, 120$. But that was all for CNY2012.

& now is FYP all the way!

2012-01-15T22:18:00.001+08:00

Woah. Haven’t update this space for almost 2 weeks. That is something! I have been SO very busy with my life right now that I am hardly breathing. FYP, work, family, friends and I even had to skip church, & to think one of my resolutions was to visit church regularly. -.-

FYP is OMG. I am hating it. I wish I was just an academic student and do my exams. Sigh, but that isn’t an option.

Plus I have been real crazy about making money, with so many things going on at hand, money has become a very important thing in my life. I mean, last time I don’t really care about money, but now, it seems like I am very much on my own so money is something I really need which is why I am working so hard now and even selling unwanted clothes at a flea.

Shermeen and I working on a flea together for the first time. As a pair of best friends, I really enjoyed it, although half the time we were like bickering about who will have more sales and whose clothes were better, (mine obviously). HAHAHA. Yeah, but I did manage to sell half of what I bought there, and bringing back a few pieces as well. Hehe.

Thank God for Leonard who offered his help! If not I think the both of us would drown in all those to carry. They were really heavy alright. Tsk.

Money earned is going to HK fund. We decided to use the money on food. Actually what we earned is enough to keep up filled for one week in HK, I did the math, and it really is. But I am guessing we are going to eat more than breakfast, lunch & dinner.

And right now, I just can't wait for 27 Feb to come cause that is when I am getting out of poly for good.

Don’t count the years, but count the ways

2012-01-02T01:32:00.001+08:00

Previous post, I mentioned how I eve-d away my Christmas, making new friends, going to church, partying and drinking. It was a very happy Christmas, spending it with people I love and with God.

Apparently, the happy part didn’t stop there for me. Sure, I had work, but I also had my share of fun right until the very point of the end of 2011 and for the first 2 hours of 2012.

Had my post Christmas celebration with 2 very special girls, Shermeen & Ting Ting last Thursday, & this year we headed to Big Bad Wolf. (We had the last year’s at Hard Rock Café) I long heard of it but always find it very very inconvenient, honestly, that place needs an access for a bigger crowd.

Ting & I went for the Citrus Grilled Fish while Shermeen decided on The Werks Burger. I liked the burger better, although the fish was cooked to optimum softness, I find the citrus too strong for my liking.

Chocolate tart

They had bailey’s inside, but I thought it wasn’t worth the price at all. $6 for a whopping chocolate tart. Nope. This would probably be my first and last time eating this.

Ting Ting! <3

I feel like a lesbian beside her! NOOO!

Ting brought polaroids too! We should bring it to HK during our graduation trip aye!? I can get the films! Bring okay!

My current favorite polaroid of us!

Met the church people on Friday for Sherlock Holmes and I slept at one point. It was too long and had too many fighting scenes, partially also cause I haven’t had enough sleep and no thanks to having dinner before that too. It was getting too comfortable in the theatre. I watched it with like 24 other people! First time in my life watching a movie with so many people, we took the entire K row. Tsk Tsk Tsk. I am still trying very hard to remember all their names. I’m so bad at remembering names! After the movies, they all had Tauy Heuy take-outs and headed to Laselle to hang out.

I told them I didn’t like tauy heuy and milk/bubble tea and they all said I am missing out on life. -.-
HAHA.

Then on New Year’s Eve, unlike the past years, I spent this NYE outside of home! Went for Church Service and the sermon was a continuation of the Christmas sermon. Shared some of the teachings with Vanessa too! Hope she can join me there the next time!

I was tearing when Jie Hui prayed for me, because I really felt her sincerity and the fact that she cared for someone she just knew, it was, really touching. I really wish her prayers for me can be answered and I believe 2012 will be a better year for me.

We had about an hour of waiting time after the sermon and it was the countdown party @ HOGC too! I was super glad to be there. It feels different, and I actually truly felt that 2012 will be a better year compared to 2011. We were all fooling around after the clock hit 12, taking photos, dancing, singing, the guys where doing flash-mobs and body stacking, was really funny!

Nothing beats a picture. Yeah, so this is the group of people I had my countdown with. They are really fun and enthusiastic, and even just standing a side and see them have fun is a joy. Haha. These people are real, they don’t judge, you don’t have to put up too much defense against them and it is a good thing, specially for someone like me.

Getting cozy with the girls!

Playing the 10 continuous shots thingy, such a long time since I did that!

Too bad I had work the next day and I couldn’t stay for long, was out by 1plus and heading for my bed. Now some of them are asking me to watch Giselle and Wicked! & I have been wanting to watch it but none of my friends had interest in dance or musical but it seems like I have found some! Too bad I may be working on Giselle day, but I am thinking of changing shift so I can go watch it!

2011 is gone and 2012 is finally here! I didn’t have a great 2011, but ending it this way is a good start! Happiness to flow in 2012, and my wish for this year? Just one. Lesser dramas please, I had too much for the past 3 years, I think I deserve a break aye?

Best of luck to everyone! <3

First day of Christmas, my true love gave to me,

2011-12-26T00:34:00.001+08:00

All I can say is that this Christmas is the best Christmas I’ve had, as far as my living memory goes.

I didn’t celebrate it on the actual day though, but I did manage to countdown from Christmas’ eve to Christmas, and it was FANTASTIC.

Invited my Han Jun, I made my virgin visit to Heart of God Church and the people there were super friendly!!! It was unexpectedly overwhelming and everybody was so joyful and was so willing to come forward to introduce themselves, as if you are already a part of them. At first I thought it would be really awkward, seeing that I didn’t know anybody but HJ, but I was proven wrong. Totally taken off guard. They also asked me along for dinner after service too and they kept chatting with me and everything, even asking me to go back next week, and honestly, I want to!

Surprisingly, I didn’t feel like I need to guard myself against these people. That was the part that shocked me, like really shocked me. & the service moved me to tears.

Come to think of it, the whole thing felt as if it was God’s plan. All these while, ever since I accepted Christ, I have been rather against going to another church, because I really like the cozy feeling GEFC gave, but when HJ asked me to go to HOGC for their Christmas service, I didn’t have the don’t-want-to-go feeling like I would usually do, on the contrary, I didn’t mind going. Service was about happiness and also 3 testimonies from different people about how joining HOGC had changed their life. When Pastor How talked about happiness, I started crying. With all the recent happenings for the past month, I knew I wasn’t genuinely happy all the time, and most of the time, really deep down, I am just an upset person who needed somebody to speak out how I’ve felt and Pastor How, a pastor I have never seen before, did it, and not only that, the feeling of crying it out was, good. I felt so much better, so much lighter and I was smiling, really smiling. In fact, throughout the entire sermon, I was truly happy and light-weighted. I don’t know. Maybe it is because I really felt His presence, and I could tell, all the people around me, they really love God with all their heart, and because of that, I really have the intention of going for their end year service, and even have the thought of settling into that church. At the end of the service, I love God even more than I had before, because all these while, my faith had dropped, really badly, with everything gone wrong, it was hard for me to pick up my faith again, but after yesterday, that fire and confidence came back and I felt so much easier.

Thanks Han Jun, for inviting me. I actually do believe, this would be another change in my life, and a big one too.

After Church & dinner, I met the secondary school girls for partying at Rebel/Zirca/Groove. We did the countdown at Rebel and it was mad crowded. If it wasn’t for Weiling’s friends, we probably would not even make it in. We partied for 4 hours straight and the feeling of dancing with the remixes was really awesome. Music was great, the people were great. We partied with Weiling’s friends, and the 2 guys were making sure that nobody tried anything funny, so we were pretty safe, so to speak, especially when the guys were really protective. By the time I was home and showered, it was almost 6, and I slept through to 3pm today. Love it.

& yes, I do find it weird to club after service, but all’s good. Hehe.

Probably be joining the new friends for movies on Friday and I hope it would be as good as the dinner. I really like these people and right now, it is difficult for me to want to hang out with new faces, but these people, I think they can be potential good friends. :)

Isn’t this the way one should spend Christmas, making new friends, partying the night and spending a great time with God.
Lastly,

I love you. <3

Racks of Clothes,

2011-12-21T23:53:00.001+08:00

First day of work was good.
Not as tiring as I expected.

It is a new beginning.

To S & T,

2011-12-19T23:00:00.001+08:00

This is a photo worth keeping.

I regret us being a clique this late, but feel so blessed that we did anyway.
Truth to be told, I can’t wait to live with you girls during April, it would bring our friendship to a whole new level for sure.
Imagine all the crazy things we would do, all the eating and shopping.
I don’t even mind staying at the airport overnight. Haha.

A part of me strongly believe that we would be this close till we grow old and we would still be bat-crap crazy.

I don’t know why I am so sentimental tonight. Maybe it is cause I kind of miss those days when we were all in the same class, those sec 2 days, with Michelle, Kai Wei, Evon and so many others. That was one of the happiest years of my life, because it was that year where I know lifetime friends.

Though I don’t say it out loud, but you know I love you.

Children,

2011-12-18T23:05:00.001+08:00

I am updating this blog, like once a week. This is bad, really bad. *shakes head*

My 2 weeks vacation has officially started since Friday and I have been catching up with all the dramas I have been missing out.

Was out with Shermeen few days back and somehow they idea of getting old kind of ate into me, on top of Shermeen’s latest blog post, growing old is becoming real. Like next year I am hitting my first 2 and I am dreading the idea. We were talking about how happy it was when all of the girls gathered around a small table in the morning before assembly and how we always buy lollipop steak during recess and helping Shermeen open her water bottle. It was all so sweet and simple then.

I’m not so afraid of not being able to find a lifetime partner or dying alone. It doesn’t matter as much as it did compared to the me last time. Everyone comes alone, so they leave alone. It is the cruel circle of life. I don’t mind not being able to have kids as well. I don’t want to go through the complex feelings of not being to look after my kids when I am too old to do so, cause honestly, if I really would to have kids, I would probably not be a young mother. I don’t exactly like kids very much as some may know.

I mind, however about the clothes part. I see all the auntie clothes as City Plaza and I ‘m like, “there is no way I am going to wear a deep purple bling bling dog face silk-like material tee shirt when I grow old!” I want to wear whatever I am wearing now, jeans, knit wear, long sleeves basics, burgundy colors, pretty heels, being able to wear all those and nobody is going to say you are overdressed, which is why sometimes I look at clothes and I just want to buy them and wear them, cause maybe 7 years later, people are gonna ask you to dress your age, not unless if you are a celebrity or a model.

It is a lil’ scary alright. I’m not being materialistic or whatever, I mean sure, you can be thinking “of all things, that’s what you are worried about?”, but c’mon, age isn’t something you can hide, (unless you have the money to inject some stuff into your face, which I am totally against.) .

Honestly, I just want a life where I can complete my education, get a stable job and live a life of peacefulness. Nothing to big that can change my life completely, I mean it’s not like I haven’t had enough of such crazy ass troubles in my life yet. I am willing to get all these shit in exchange for a quiet, worry-free life in future. & when I say worry-free, I don’t mean I must be super rich or whatever, just enough to let me get by, you know what I mean?

Lol. Now is too early for me to say anything anyway.

Anyway, if you are curious on how I am going to spend the day when the most beautiful man of my life is born, I am planning to go for a church service my dear friend invited me to, followed up by partying with the girls at some club after, not sure where yet though. Hehe. P/s. Those are plans on the 24th.

2011-12-09T03:18:00.001+08:00

Who is still reading this space? Who? Thanks. Haha.

I have been really reluctant to use any form of social media these days, twitter, facebook, tumblr and even this beloved blog of mine. I don’t know, maybe I have become so loner to the extent where I realized there is no need for anybody to know what is going on with me or how I am feeling, or even where am I. What for, but fret not, I am keeping all my accounts, just probably won’t appear as often as I did, especially this blog where I can type out my feelings. Chosen feelings.

& recently, I have also realized that everything I do, or want to do must have a reason to it. I find myself asking things like “what for” or “what is the point”. Like what for let people know how I am feeling, why do I want to announce my emotions, questions like that. I guess this is what I mean by self-defense. Even playing games, I choose games that have an objective, like testing my strategic skills, or my IQ.

Still I am going to write down stuff on this blog. :)

OH. Shermeen, Ting Ting and I have finally confirmed our graduation trip, TO HONG KONG. I know, you guys must be think I am mad to want to return there for my grad trip, but my parents would only allow me to go there because they think I am familiar with that place, seeing that I have been there for 2 months on my own. Secondly, I am familiar with the place and both Ting and I speak the language so we would not end up as lost sheeps. We are also going over to Macau and Zhu Hai for more shopping and sight-seeing! I’m also going to bring the girls to Lan Kwai Fong! Let them experience what it is like to club in HK. Haha.

We got the tix at 1-for-1 which was the reason why we are so quick to book the tix when we are going on April, but it is really cheap, 3 person and it is less than $120. We haven’t decide on the hotel yet, but most probably we would be staying at this boutique hotel which only cost $70++ per night! Hehe.

Can’t wait for Tuesday because that’s when 2 weeks holiday starts! :D

2011-11-29T23:15:00.001+08:00

Hi.

Alright, so much has happened over the past few weeks of disappearance, but I guess I am more calmed down now. No necessity to mention anything here as I don’t see any point.

Right now, I am over with presentation, and despite so much that has been happening, I am glad that I am still able to do up my proposal and presentation together with my peers. Jeff wanted to exclude me from it, but I guess I don’t want such treatment. Presentation was ok, I do have some details which I need to refine but Jeff said that I am on time, so I needn’t have to worry. *thank goodness*

I am also looking for a part-time job right now, and I am handing in the application as a sales associate @ Espirit. Honestly, right now, I do need an extra income with so much going on, ( not because I want to shop ok!) and also somewhere where I can get busy in, so FYP and a part-time job would do me some good.

Recently I did an event job @ MBS with Shermeen, Ting Ting and Thaijin, and it makes me realized that a part-time job for me now isn’t such a bad idea. Plus, like I said, I really want to depend on myself right now in terms of monetary. If I want what I desire, I am very much determined to do get them on my own. I didn’t go to Hong Kong and not learn anything.

So, that is all about me right now. Will try to update on my long overdue-ed USS visit with the girls. So stay tuned. :)

Let it rain, cause it means the sun will come out soon.

2011-11-27T23:08:00.001+08:00

I am bringing my smiles back, back here, back to my life and most importantly, back to myself.

Let’s take a plane, fly somewhere, and then never come back.

2011-11-22T02:05:00.001+08:00

Yeah, if I were a billionaire I would. & the first place I would love to visit would probably be somewhere in California, not too far from the city, still within town area and get a nice small cottage to settle in. That’s what I would do. Or maybe Iceland where its peaceful.

Dreams.

This week’s aim is to keep myself as busy as possible, like I said, a change of focus is what I really need. Proposal submission is on Wednesday and I am completed with my infographic. So tomorrow, I am going to finish my written proposal in the day and then to my presentation slides at night. Just in time for Wednesday’s submission.

Probably be going to the party on Thursday, haven’t got detailed info for it yet, but I am hoping to go and relax a little.

Spending my Friday with Jonathan, with hope for a good lunch and maybe walk somewhere. Ah Pong, if you are reading this, can we get out of Tampines and head somewhere else? I am sick of this place.

Working for an event on Saturday with the high school girls, some of them, @ MBS, all the way to 10pm. That’s enough to get me off my train of thoughts I have been having. & Sunday is a day I would give it a rest.

Now I am considering of getting a part-time. I don’t mind working Christmas season y’all know, it is double pay after all. & right now, with the way I handle my expenditure, I must say, my maintenance is a little too high at present and I need the extra cash if I want to keep the lifestyle I am having right now.

Actually, whatever is happening, I have seen it through and through, it didn’t take me as long as I thought it would, but I have no idea why I am still disturbed by it. It’s like, I’m not thinking about it, but it is just there, like it took up half my brain and I have to cope with other things with the other half, and somehow, it is getting a little tiring.

2011-11-20T01:36:00.001+08:00

Was invited to a party from Got Cover?, and I am still contemplating if I should attend. There will be drinking, food and getting to know new people and a part of me really really want to attend because I really need some fun right now, or something to keep me busy.

Going shopping today, on my own was suppose to cheer me up, I’m not saying it didn’t, ok, at least it helped a little. I really spent a bomb this time, with so much offers and discounts up my sleeves, from EVERYWHERE. I now have a $30 gift voucher from Cotton On thanks to spending so much there today.

I need a change of focus soon, and FYP is going to get busy this week. Proposal deadline is Wednesday and Thursday is the party, maybe I should give myself a break. Afterall, the party ends at 10pm, not very late anyway. We shall see, we shall see.

2011-11-17T03:31:00.001+08:00

I know it is late, I shouldn’t be writing any more things, especially when I just written an almost 1500 words essay and when my eyes are almost blind but I think, I think I just need to do so as I really wish to see today as a fresh new beginning of whatever happened the past few days.

3am.

This year hasn’t been a good year for me. The beginning of the year I had some conflicts with some of my close friends and it turned out pretty bad. I really tried hard to make things better but somehow it got worse. I wanted to flee from my problems, I decided I should take a break and OSIP was a good way out. I got what I wanted, I spent 62 days away from home, away from everything familiar and away from problems and I had to admit, I was much happier when I didn’t had to think of things I didn’t want to or see things I don’t wish to see.

Coming back, I become a more solo person. I don’t want to mix with people and I detest interaction, I feel like I am more defensive, and I don’t like the idea of going to school at times. School used to be a good place, I’m not saying it isn’t good now but going to school reminds me of things I don’t wish to be reminded of. I remembered going to school and avoiding common areas of my course. I still am now, just not as obvious. I don’t want to talk to people as much as I used to, I just want to be left alone from time to time. & if I really had to, I would just choose to face people who truly knows me.

I tried being friendly sometimes, but it doesn’t work, so might as well not do it, at least I don’t put myself and the other party in an awkward situation. I only want to go to school when Y is around because only around Y, I feel better, I feel like I can breathe, and I feel safer, in a way. When I see familiar people, I would rather take another route. It isn’t because I am afraid but I am too tired. I really rather be left on my own than be in that kind of situation.

The year is coming to an end, and I thought that was it to all my problems of the year and I can enjoy the last 2 months of 2011, I even had plans, Christmas, sleepover, clubbing, part-time job. I was excited to be who I really am when I came back. I was happy but it didn’t last long for me. It seems like 2011 doesn’t like me being happy.

Problems arise in my family.

It was there and then, I realized how defensive I really am, and that deep deep deep down, a small part of me is scared, but of what, I have no idea. This thought terrifies me. It really does and I am trying hard to fight with that scared person in me. I had to write in my personal diary in order to convince myself that everything is ok. I don’t wish to reach a state where I allow fear to overpower me. I know that I have no rights to fall or breakdown, not now, not in the near future.

I thank the school for being so understanding and so nice to my situation. I felt touched that Yong is helping me with no questions asked. I recalled requesting to skip night class last evening, and he said “OK!” immediately, without asking me anything. I was close to tears because I was helpless then. I recalled texting Yong and he showed concern immediately. I remembered talking to Jeff for almost 2 hours, and he sat there patiently, allowing me to rearrange my thoughts, and hear me all the way and he immediately knew what and how he could help me. Even Elvis, he has no idea what is going on, but he really cheered me up. And Chee Lie too, his tone to me today was so very much different from normal. I could tell he is very worried, very concern, but he didn’t pry, but if I needed help, he will be there, the school would be there. Even Morris was concerned when he saw me. I told my mum, I am so glad to have all these lecturers backing me up. If not for them, I don’t think I have the strength to get through it.

And to all my friends who helped me, Shermeen, Kent, Ting, Yanting, Stella, really, 24/7 standby, being there almost immediately when I needed help, and just like the lecturers, no questions asked. Even Roy and Joanne didn’t blame me but instead showed concern, Roy especially. I really am very grateful to all these people. & they plus a few others, name I can’t mentioned here, are the reasons that make me not want to give up.

Many people can say I have changed. Some think is bad, others think it is good. I will just let them judge me. Right now, as I told Jeff, I have no energy and time to care what others think of me anymore.

I feel so glad, saying all these. Sorry if you actually read finish everything, seeing its pretty long and such small fonts. I just feel a tad better & in situations like this, a tad makes a whole lot of difference.

2011-11-15T23:48:00.001+08:00

Hi everyone. Been a while since 10 days since I blogged, I am just too tired with all the happenings right now.
I really wished I needn’t go through all these, it really drained me off every bit of energy I have everyday.
May not even be blogging for awhile.

Till then.

There comes a time to cut loose,

2011-11-05T22:49:00.001+08:00

Been such a long time since I went to Cine and it is as crowded as I remembered it to be, it was bursting with so many people of our age,especially after coming out of the movie.

Footloose was nice though. Pleasant but not VERY awesome. The female lead kind of remind me of Jenifer Aniston and Drew Berrymore mix together and the male lead seemed like he was doing martial arts rather than dancing. Its, once again a show about a group of teenagers fighting for what they want, getting lost and discovering themselves, falling in love with the wrong people, using extreme ways to forget their pain and trying new stuff, just like Step Up, even the poster reminded me of Step Up.

Made a trip to Topshop after that as I have been wanting to get a burgundy jeans. At first I wanted to get from Levi’s or Lee’s or whatever jeans retail there are but I happened to be at Topshop yesterday and I finally found it! Levi’s and Lee’s don’t have them by the way.

Original Price : $89
But guess what! I am so lucky, if I had bought it yesterday, I would not be able to save $20 today! Topshop was having this $20 off full-length denim jeans! :D

Besides the jeans, I also got 2 more stuff. I was $45 away from being a F3 member and I was doing the calculations, thinking if it was worth to be their member, plus Kent also thought it was a good idea and I was tempted as well, I went to choose one more item.

One more oversized half-sleeves and one one slubby knit top.
Too bad this Topshop didn’t have the bag sales, otherwise I think I would go crazy.

So there, first time shopping in Singapore after so long, and I spent a bomb.
At least I am a member now, 10% discount for all brands under F3, 20% off on birthday month, and I can’t remember what else.
Pssst, Shermeen, I welcome Topshop Voucher for my birthdays from now on. Every year the same also can! HAHA!

Ok, that’s it. My first Saturday in Singapore ever since I came back.
Nice, but damn tired.

Goodnights!

2011-11-04T00:40:00.001+08:00

Met up with the high school gang already.

Such an unlucky day today. Overwrite my files, can’t print my works, have to re-write my report. Luckily I have such a good lecturer like Allan who was merciful to my overwriting situation, he didn’t have to, you know. It was a mistake I should not even have made, seeing I’m a year 3 already. He was really too kind, and he isn’t even going to mark mine as late submission, technically I am more than a week late already. God bless!

Now that I am all done for OSIP report and marketing report, it seems like I can enjoy a good show tonight and go for a nice swim tomorrow morning, if it is not raining, plus a stress-free Saturday with @kentkentgoh.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal

2011-11-02T16:59:00.001+08:00

Back in Singapore, back to reality.

School commenced on Monday for me, though nothing much happened. FYP started, Marketing started.
Skipped my marketing lesson yesterday though, wanted very much to celebrate Sharon’s birthday and also to catch up with the other people so I had to skip class, but it was consultation, so I guess it is alright?

Had lunch with Shermeen a few hours ago and now I am in the library trying to complete all the reports I missed when I was away last week. Marketing lecturer seemed nice though, so fingers crossed.

Ok. Shall watch a show before Yanting comes! :D

Coming home, I’m coming home,

2011-10-30T16:16:00.001+08:00

High-low!
I am currently at Hong Kong International Airport and my flight is at 8pm, so I am just waiting for the time to pass and get up the damn plane and go home.

I really can’t wait.

My parents are coming to pick me and we are going Bedok 85 for supper! Damn, I cant wait for Ba Chor Mee and Sambal Stingray and BBQ Chicken Wing. Shucks! I am drooling already. Thank God school starts at 3pm for me so I can sleep in, but it sucks when school ends at 9pm. Sigh.

Hahaha! Anyway, my friend just said something and I feel like I’m on cloud 9. HAHAHAHAH! But I shall keep it to myself, I feel so evil, but I am so happy. Hope karma don’t get me for this. Oh my gawd. Hahaha. Okok, breathe. HAHAHAHAHAH.

Stop. *snickering still*

Ok. Another 2 more hours before I can check in, another 4 more hours before my plane take off. So happy. :D

Day LIX,

2011-10-27T20:59:00.001+08:00

In any case you are wondering what LIX means, it is 59 in Roman numeral.
So you can probably guess, it is my 59th day here in Hong Kong! 3 more days and I will be home! Totally can’t wait!

2 days back, my cousin came to Hong Kong to celebrate her son’s birthday, so I made a trip to Disneyland to find them and have a dinner with them. Elias is still as cute as ever. Not much photos to show, but here they are.

There were taken while waiting for them to come out. I guess I was pretty lucky because I was just in time for the daily fireworks, though it is a shame the castle was too short to be seen, otherwise it would have been a beautiful sight, nevertheless, it was still a nice display. :)

Met up with them and we went to Disneyland Hollywood Hotel for dinner, it was also the hotel they were residing at.

That’s Elias in a Ferrari Racer Jacket.

He loves F1, and cars, and he could even play the racing game in my iPod without me teaching him how to, boys. But you can tell how happy he was. The jacket is a little thick though, wonder how is he ever going to wear it in SG.

Guess who we met?! GOOFY!
I preferred the other Goofy I saw when I came with my parents, he was much more hyper and active. Maybe this one is too tired from the day’s happenings. Hehe.

By the time I left, it was already 10 and almost midnight by the time I was home. Still, I enjoyed the time with them, even though we are not very close, but it feels good to see a familiar face when you have been out on your own for so long.

So, that’s it. Another 3 more days and I will be home. I really can’t wait. Really can’t!

Final lap already,

2011-10-24T16:54:00.001+08:00

Pace in the office is really slow today, CD is not around so I guess it is a work-free day.

Funny how everybody else in my cohort is back in school today but I am still here. Not that I mind, but I really would want to be back in Singapore, although I am dreading the idea of the weather, and the not-so-cheap shopping. I want to be back home, in my bedroom, with my family, friends, have a good laugh with people I love and care for. Sigh.

Anyway, seems like I have an arranged USS outing with 3 of my dearest girlfriends, and to celebrate one of their birthdays at the same time, really can’t wait and we are getting the tix at half price, thanks to my mum’s friend who is a member of RWS.
(It also means I can get my VS products at lower rates too! )

So, my parents and my 2 aunties came last Thursday for a short visit. Technically, it is me going to visit them because they went to Macau, not coming to HK. -.-

I had to take the Super Class on the TurboJet cause I was rushing for time and the earliest they had was 8pm at 330hkd, but I was kind of glad I tried it. They provided dinner and the seats were big, there were barely anybody and the service was good. The crew-in-charge even woke me up before the ferry docked, also I get to alight first. :)

A happy, excited me.

Dinner served on board.

I was still calm when I was on the ferry but I was really jumpy and excited as I took the shuttle bus to Venetian Hotel.

So thankful they came over, but they coming over just makes me want to go back to SG more than ever.

Mummy!

Daddy!

So we went for a really sumptuous supper after I met all of them on Thursday. When I saw my parents, I gave them the biggest hug I could have. It feel really good to see them again. I had 4 big bowls of rice during supper and trust me, I eat a lot when I am VERY happy, REALLY upset or TERRIBLY stressed.
Oh, by the way, we stayed at Zhu Hai throughout the entire vacation.

We went shopping the next day at the Underground Shopping Complex and then to Macau on Saturday for some sight-seeing and hotel visiting and a little more shopping. :) You can never guessed what I got!

My eldest aunt and her husband.

And another of my aunt with my mum!

My outfit of the day. Everything on me are new except my jeans.

(Forgive my shades ok, but I really found them cute!)

Visited St Paul’s Cathedral @ Macau and although I have been to Macau countless times, I have never visit this attraction before. The story behind this wall amazed me. Click here to read, if you want to!

We took a walk around the entire place. It was filled with people and I really detest that, but I had some of the best bites along the way and I got to eat bak kwa after so long, but Bee Cheng Hiang ones are still the best. Pork Cutlet bun, Almond Biscuits, Portuguese Tarts, Hagen Daz …

The hotels were beautiful, the shopping was great, food was awesome. My appetite was massive these days. I was eating on an average of 3 bowls of rice for every meal. Food and shopping there are so cheap! I am talking about Zhu Hai now.

Nuff said. Now to show you my buys over the days when my parents came.

Clothes, bag, pouches, wallet.

The clothes I got!

From top left:
Ripped Shorts, Maroon Long Sleeves Basic, Chanel Logo Sweater Top, Vintage Popeye Long Sleeves Top, Hoodie Checkered Button-Up Shirt and Stripped Med Maxi.

These time when I went, I bought quite a handful of Marc Jacobs “Inspired” stuff. I don’t know why I chose Marc Jacobs because I have never shown interest in Marc by Marc Jacobs whatsoever, but I guess it got me this time.

Don’t ask me if they exist or not alright. Honestly, I bought them cause I either think they are nice or cause I needed one, like the laptop case for example.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Check out the label I am into right now,

PRADA.

Yup, Prada caught me when I was in Macau, no idea why, but it just did. I made the decision to change my wallet as well.

People who know me from my past to my present should know that my Burberry wallet had a very strong sentimental value in it, seeing that it was my first high-end labeled wallet and it was a gift from my first boyf and I was reluctant to change my wallet for the past 1 and half year. The wallet meant something to me, it still do but I am finally ready to change my wallet. Secretly it was because I could not resist how pretty the Prada wallet is and there were so many colors to choose from.

My newest baby. :)))

Used it once I got back to my hotel and I can’t stop looking at it. It was exactly the same when I got my last wallet. It is a gift from my dad by the way.

And lastly,

Ankle boots from Daphne’s.

My mum wanted me to stop wearing heels because I have a deep cut on my ankle and hitting the cut hurts my bone so she took my heels back and bought me this.

In the other words, both my parents bought me an expensive gift each, of course there is a reason to it, but I shall keep the reason mum right now. :)

And that concludes my short 4 days getaway with my parents and relative. I felt really upset when I saw them to the airport. It was so weird because I didn’t cry when I went, but when they leave, I cried. I guess this is what they mean by “the ones who get left behind, hurts the most”. Sigh. But that’s alright, cause I am going back on Sunday! & my parents are going to bring me to Bedok 85 for supper! :D

I really can’t wait to go back. These days I have been getting messages and texts from random people saying they miss me and wish that I would be back ASAP, and they never fail to warm my heart. ♥

Final week,

2011-10-23T20:34:00.001+08:00

Hi.

So that’s it. My parents came and went home. Only 4 short days. And that’s sad.
Wish they could stay here longer, or better yet, leave with me coming Sunday. Sigh.
Ok, I am glad they came and I was exhilarated seeing them, shopping and visiting places.

Okay, now I just can’t wait for SIP to officially end and go home.

Week Eight,

2011-10-18T17:02:00.001+08:00

Such a pretty little thing, even though I have no idea what it is.

8 weeks since I have been in Hong Kong.
Shall wait till the 9th week before I write a conclusion post of this experience.

It is another 1 hour till my work ends for today. Can’t wait.
I slept at 8.30pm yesterday, was so darn tired. Monday blues~

Daddy and Mummy are going to Macau on Thursday and I can’t wait to go over to meet them.
3 and half days with them! I can’t wait, I can’t wait, I can’t wait.
Hopefully I can get my pay before going so I can treat them to a good dinner! :D
Pray hard that the treasurer comes back either tomorrow or Thursday.

Work has also been busy these couple of days because Farhah is on 2 days leave and that leaves me with handling both the digital and shopper team. Also, tomorrow is Agency Day, so I am guessing a work free day for interns. Hehe. Afterall it is the big bosses problem in the meeting. And hopefully I can leave on time on Thursday, no OT so I can quickly get to the ferry terminal and my parents won’t have to wait for me!

My outfit yesterday.

I finally got my leather shorts, been searching high and low for it for the longest time and I finally found it. :)

Patrick, my creative director is in a meeting now, which is why I have a breather.
Boy, shall go tumblr! :)

I’m glad for you.

2011-10-17T00:03:00.001+08:00

So ironic to want to go to a place where nobody knows me.
But yet, here I am and I actually feel glad that to know that there are many who miss me.

I love you, all of you. You know who you are.

xoxo

Knit is my new black,

2011-10-10T23:46:00.001+08:00

Hello(s) everybody! Been some time since I had any outfit of the day photos up on this virtual space. That’s cause I haven’t been shopping much for some time, until recently.

It is getting a little cold here in Hong Kong so I decided to get some knitted wear. Don’t get me wrong, I have always adored knitted wear but it is (almost) impossible to wear in Singapore, but that’s ok now cause I got myself some that aren’t too thick, so I still can wear it when I go back!

Outfit of the day.

Everything on me right now are brought here, so you can guess what a shopping heaven it is here.
Basically if you come here for a long stay, just bring 2 weeks of clothes, the rest you can settle it here.
I haven’t even wear some of the clothes I brought here, in fact.

Oh,that’s my new hair cut by the way! The entirely boy cut.
Apparently, the receptionist of my office loved it. Haha.

My knitted top. It is not as thick as it seems, really.

& my new loved heels. JC inspired, I guess?
Not like I can afford the real one.

I saw this pair of heeled boots here that I really loved. It is over ankled boots, and I really love it A LOT.
I was super tempted, but then again, how often would I wear them back in SG? :(
Why doesn’t Singapore have weather like HK? I’m not even asking for winter, alright?
The weather here is perfect to play dress-up.

A flap bag I got over the last weekend. I don’t know why I am attracted to it.
I actually went to the level where the bag shop is 3 times before finally deciding to get it.
No regrets thus far!

Farhah being cranky in our office building lift.

We shared a table today because we had to do this project together.

Hokay! That’s all I have been up to recently.
Counting down till 2 weeks before I head back to SG.
A big part of me can’t wait, but a small little part of me wants to stay here, mainly for the shopping and the just-too-great weather. Still, I really miss my bed, my parents, my cousins, my friends, and school(even though FYP is starting!). I can’t wait to hug my parents and sleep on my bed.

I also just finished True Blood today. It is addictive but somehow it will get boring at the middle and just as I was about to give up, something exciting must happen. Always the case isn’t it?

Also, counting down 10 days before I meet my parents over at Macau. We are going to Zhu Hai again, and I really can’t wait. Imagine all the shopping I can do there! I am going to get myself a clutch when I am there, or maybe even here, if I see one I like. I really need a clutch, and as much as I love the one lying at home, that ain’t good enough.

Grandmother was admitted to hospital too. :(
I was so worried for a while cause my parents didn’t call me for 2 whole days and I thought something really bad happned, so I called them as I could wait no longer. Praise the Lord, nothing happened. They were just too tired going to and fro to the hospital.

Ok. Maybe I should continue my TW drama since I am not sleepy yet!
Goodnight!

Girls, I really miss you.

2011-10-06T19:41:00.001+08:00

Missing them and that is eating on to me.
Reading Shermeen’s blog makes me miss shopping with her really much.

And now thinking of how much shopping I did here, it is a pity Shermeen isn’t here.
She would absolutely love it.

I don’t even know if Ting Ting is back from Korea yet.

Girls, we should really come here when we are done with our school and stuff.
I would totally persuade my parents for it. But right now, I am looking forward to the sleepover at Shermeen’s place.

Le sigh. I didn’t expect myself to miss them this much. :’(

2011-10-05T20:05:00.001+08:00

Been such a long time since I came to this space. Nothing to blog, actually.
Life is pretty much the same when I’m here and when I am in SG, besides the shopping part.

So the newest things that happened to me are …
1. I have changed my department and now I am in the shopper team.
2. Jody introduced me to this American series called True Blood, and I am fking addicted to it, right now.
3. I cut my hair again, and this time, it looks exactly like this celebrity.

I haven’t decide if I hate it or love it. It is, after all by far the shortest I have gone to.
I know a few people are going to disprove about it, big time. Shermeen and my mum are surely going to make a fuss about it.
My dad would probably love it. I don’t know.

My parents are coming!!!!! On the 20th, this month! Can’t wait, really.
We are going to ZhuHai for a vacation. Superb! Can get to eat all the wonderful, delicious and cheap food again!
Not forgetting the coffee from this cute café with a handsome barista and shopppppppppping!!

New shoes, JC inspired and my OFTD on of the random day at work.
Still thinking if I should get a above ankle boots, but what are the chances of wearing them in SG, even if I love them?

Jody and I, before we had our hair cut.

It is a holiday today, though I don’t know what for, and a typhoon would probably be hitting HK soon.
Ok, pray that my hair would grow longer soon so mummy wouldn’t be too unhappy about it.

I miss everybody in SG so bloody much!

2011-09-27T20:52:00.001+08:00

It feels like a secondary school crush, all over again.

Halloween Celebration After 12 Years,

2011-09-25T21:49:00.001+08:00

Thanks to Jody’s colleagues, the few of us managed to join in Hong Kong’s Halloween celebration @ Ocean Park.
Eunice’s mother was here to visit Eunice so she joined us too! :D

Before going to Ocean Park, Farhah, Jody and I went to chill out the Starbucks near our staying area.

Then there was this little girl and she is only 3 years old, but she is so tall and really smart!

I feel like I am her mother in this photo.

We went over to Mong Kok as Jody and Farhah wanted to get contacts, ended up I got a pair myself.
Didn’t want to shop but I got a knitted cardigan and a knitted top. -.-

After our brief shopping, went to Admiralty to wait for Eunice and her mother.

One of the hell guards who greeted us when we arrived at the bus terminal.

While waiting for Eunice and her mum.

We took the bus there and there was a freaking long queue for it.
Actually it was ok because the buses came really fast and there were all double decked bus so it was quick.

Our Halloween passes.

We were pretty tempted to get those headbands but it was stupid as we won’t wear them again.

Look at the crowd and it was only the first day!

We were quite lost, not knowing where to go, so we ended up in the aquarium which was pretty lovely.
I think it is prettier than SG’s, in fact.

In the end when we got out of the aquarium, we got our headbands. -.-

Eunice got the devil one as well.

2 animals and 2 devils. Haha.

We tried one of the haunted houses. It was the typical scare and shock setting but I guess they did put some effort into setting up the place.
It was scary at the start, but it got better as we walked along.

There were also mascots walking about. They weren’t very frightening, but I really hate it when they shout into your ear.
Some were even very friendly, saying hi and all.

We went for some of the simple rides. Jody, Eunice and Farhah went for the craziest ride called Flash
which was actually a 360 degrees viking. I couldn’t go for it for 2 reasons, one I was scared and second, my heart may not be able to take the pressure.

Jody wanted to take the carousel.

Eunice and her mum left first because there were going to Shen Zhen the next day.
So the 3 of us continued exploring the area.

To be honest, it was nothing much, but since it is free then I have nothing to comment on.
Some of the rides were not open yet and some were not in order and I think if we went in the day, we would have enjoyed ourselves more.
Too bad, Halloween is a night event.

Ok. That is it for the weekend. Photos up on facebook!
Today is a sleep-in day for me! So tired!

Visited the doctor, took a jab,

2011-09-21T22:04:00.001+08:00

Hello everybodeh! Do y’all miss me?
I took a day off work today because my rashes got worse, sadly, but it was ok I guess, cause today was actually
community service day for my company. Anyway, the doctor gave me a jab and I didn’t even cried out loud!
Brave girl! Some of my friends should know I have low tolerance for sharp and small pain.
Like, if my entire knee bleed, I won’t even feel the pain, but injection kind of pain is just…

I remembered the last time when Vanessa accompany me to get my flu vaccine, it took 15mins for the doctor to calm me down.
Haha. Anyway, this doctor was fast, he didn’t even give a warning, he poked the syringe and went “any pain?” and I said no.
Then he pushed in the chemical and I grab my phone damn tightly. Just wanted it to end.

Slept till 7pm after getting home.
I guess I can say the rashes are pretty much under control.
I also changed my towel and my body wash.

NEVER EVER LIKE DOCTORS , but I visited the doctor twice ever since I came here.
My body sure know when is the best time to break down.

Help me pray ok, pray that I will get well soon.

Coco Chanel once said, girls who are willing to change their hair, are prepared to change their lives,

2011-09-18T21:37:00.001+08:00

Last year around this period, I gave myself a bob.
This year, I have decided to give myself a crop.

I have always love Tavia Yeung’s short hair. Smart and stylish.

I didn’t exactly want this hair initially, but I really wanted a change, so halfway through my bob, I asked for a crop
and showed them Tavia’s photo.

Ok, this photo is bad but I only have this, so yeah.

At first it was only Jody who wanted to cut her hair and me accompanying her, but somehow,
I was also very tempted to cut the crop so I went ahead with it. No regrets so far.
Haven’t shown mom and dad yet. Haha.

Cutting my bob away, finally! Been wanting to get the boy cut for a long time!

Eunice dyed her hair purple, while Jody got herself a long bob.
So pretty aren’t they?

Camwhoring on the way back home.
Ahhhh………. love my hair!!!

Ok, we both love our hair. End of story!

2011-09-16T16:19:00.001+08:00

Le sigh, you don’t see I look all smiley in this photo, I am not happy today. :’(
I got skin inflammation and it is spreading like wildfire. First the back, then the arm, followed by chest and now the upper thighs.
I am trying my best not to scratch already, but it is really really itchy!
Farhah has it too and we are both sharing the uniflex cream that daddy gave me, now I am worried it is not enough for us. D;

And I am also trying to figure out what possible causes are there.
Moisture, bed bugs, dirty linen, weather, heatiness. It started when I start wearing tanks to sleep.
The past 2 weeks I had been wearing long hoodie to sleep. I really hope it is the linen. :(((

I am going home and grab a long and clean bath.
Really can’t stand it. Why, oh why, why must it come when I am here?
Really don’t feel like going out today. I feel so tired and the itch is really killing me.

Le sigh. D;

Sorry baby, we are gonna do this.

2011-09-15T10:43:00.001+08:00

Was browsing through the net the other day & I found this.
I know this is very very very cliché, but sorry, I really want this, if I can afford it.

Damn, this is a Harry Potter Themed Wedding.
& I am such a huge Harry Potter fan, I would really love to do this.

I would sit my guests according to houses.
Table cloth: Red for Gryffindor, Yellow for Hufflepuff, Blue for Ravenclaw and Green for Slytherin.
HAHA! Then I will group my husband’s friends in Slytherin cause they always take my time away from him,
families would have the Gryffindor tables, my friends in Hufflepuff cause they are all nice and kind peple, and colleagues in Ravenclaw for their brains.
The ballroom would as far as possible be like the Great Hall, it is stupid to have wedding dinner on the long tables, but at least the stage area…
The podium is kind of grand. HAHA!

The ceiling can have chandlers in candle shape hanging from the top, and it would be the night sky for the background!

Invitation cards would be in form of the school notification letter.
Dear Miss Chan, you are cordially invited to …
Then it would be sealed by traditional wax stamps.

Then everybody would be given wands with their names and houses carved on it so they know where to sit.
There will be goblets as cups for the drink. Quills would be used to sign the guests’ books.
Every flavored beans, chocolate frogs, fizzing whizzbees can be little snacks on the tables.

It would be perfect if everybody dressed to the theme, or maybe dressed for a Yule Ball kind of event.
Then my husband and and I can have the first waltz, just like the Triwizard Champions.

& I know this is bad, but just imagine, the waiters and waitress dressing up as Dobby and Winky!
With socks and all! That would be so cute! & photographer can dress like Rita Seeker.

Then as a parting gift, everybody a small bottle of Lady Luck!
Inside can be some soda or whatever, but it is the potion bottle that matters!
I don’t know!

HAHAHAHAHHAHA! I am going crazy just thinking about it!
I know probably by the time I get married, I wouldn’t want such a thing,
but it is worth a thought! HAHAH! I am just so bored! HAHA!

B O R I N G DAY

2011-09-14T22:14:00.001+08:00

Today is such a boring day.
Emma, my creative director didn’t show up at work today, but Marcus, my creative director back in SG came!
I was so happy to see him, kind of miss him actually, and he is still look as how I remembered, but he seemed to have shrink. -.-

We took our own sweet time to go back to office from lunch today especially when Emma isn’t around.
Heck, she asked Edwin to ask me to edit the my homepage psd and that was all for today!

I spent my entire day at work brainstorming for my FYP, and I more or less know what am I going to do already.
The entire day I have been doing research, googling and hearing Avril Lavigne playlist on YouTube.

Ahhhh. I am liking this last photo! If only can show my shoes.
OH YESSSS!!! Attention people! Check out my new heels!

Jody said it is a Japanese brand, although I don’t know what. Haha. First time swiping my card in HK,
and it is for this pair of heels. Haha!

I don’t want blog already. Just now wi-fi had problem, big turn off.
Goodnights!

A day and a half,

2011-09-13T23:52:00.001+08:00

HAPPY MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL EVERYBODEH~!

Yeah, mid-autumn festival is a pretty important festival here in Hong Kong, so we were given half day off on Monday and full day today!
Farhah and I still not as lucky, Jody and Eunice had both full days off! :(
Anyway, we made use of this 2 days and visited quite a number of places.

What we wore to work on Monday! Hehe!
Everything on me is new except my shoes and bag! Sigh, my heels of the wedges coming off! :(
Farhah is wearing her new crop top too!

Went home after 3pm and I had to have a nap.
When I woke up, the 3 of the were getting ready to go out already, we had plans to go to Ladies’ Market.

Went to this café near our area and had dinner. They had really good fried rice, missing it already…

MTR down to Mong Kok, and slowly walked our way to Ladies’ Market.

Walking there…

& here we are…
Ladies’ Market is more of a tourist attraction place now, it used to be a place that sells really cheap stuff, but ever since it got
famous, they started selling their things at higher prices but you can bargain up to 30% to 40% off.

While shopping! I got another earpiece by the way, a fake Lady Gaga series earpiece, wasn’t as pretty as it looks.
A little disappointed. :( The others bought iphone covers and some CDs.

Along the streets of Ladies’ Market.

After shopping there, we headed down to Victoria Peak (Causeway Bay) to join in the Mid-Autumn Carnival.
It was DAMN crowded, so many people, but I guess it is all about joining in the fun of how the locals celebrate it.

We were like tourists, seriously, still it was kind of interesting.
Eunice wanted to do palm reading, but the queue was closed for the day, so she couldn’t get it done.

By the time we got home, it was midnight and all of us were so tired.

& today, we spent the afternoon sleeping in, making up for the late night we had and headed to Tsim Sha Tsui in the evening.
Went for a quick dinner at Yoshinoya, and their menus were so much cheaper than SGP.

Yum, but I lost my appetite half way through it, thanks to the conversation we had.

Our individual outfits of the day!
Ok, I am intending to wear the same outfit to work tomorrow, so don’t judge me.

Anyway, those photos were taken in a shopping mall at Tsim Sha Tsui, I think it is called iSquare.
Sigh, I fell in love with this pair of beautiful heels and I thought it was going to be really expensive, but they had it at
50% off, so it was selling at HKD360, around SGD59. It is unlike me to get a pair of heels at that price but it was really lovely.
I am going to wear them to work tomorrow, so wait for it.

While waiting for me to decide if I should swipe my Masters.
I called my mother to ask her, and she was like “swipe la, just go ahead…” but when still I was quite hesitant.
In the end I did anyway…

Shermeen is going to kill me, but Shermeen, I had Banana Creeps as you can see, with chocolate syrup over it.
HAHAHAHAHA! Can you see me laughing my ass off from SG? HAHAAHAHA!

We caught the laser show at Avenue of Stars, but I was really disappointed because the last time I saw it, it was really nice.
I am not sure why it is like ….

Went a little shopping around the area and went home, marking our end of the holidays.
Le sigh, there is work tomorrow…

Ok. I am finally done blogging, going to watch my show and off to bed! Nights!

It is difficult to stay rich here,

2011-09-11T00:45:00.001+08:00

Second weekend here in Hong Kong. Got up at mid-day and the girls & I decided to head to Mong Kok as Farhah wanted to shop.
So, there we went.

Eunice didn’t want her photos taken because she didn’t have any eye make-up on. :(
Next time then! :D

Anyway, check out Jody’s and Farhah’s new dip-dyed hair, looking great isn’t it?
Feel like dyeing my hair too, but my parents would NEVER approve of it. :’(

Jody got this, and omg, it is realllllly awesome!!!
I am already missing the nooooodles! Damn delicious!

I was bent on not shopping, but only getting a mustard top.
BUT, it is VERY difficult not to shop at Mong Kok, especially now is summer sales season!
In the end, I shopped more than I intended to! Thankfully I love all of my buys, even after getting home!
In fact, I love this batch of clothes more than what I got last week! Hehe!

Anyway, I feel soooooo dumb! Wanted to bring the girls to Arena of Stars for the laser show and I was SO positive that it was at Causeway Bay,
turned out, it wasn’t. Feel like slapping myself, I swear! :(

Turned out, Causeway Bay is more of a ION Orchard kind of district.
& it was also there, I made my first expensive buy, le sigh!
Ok, it is not expensive when you think about it, HKD225 for a watch, converted it is about SGD35.
For a watch, it sounds reallllly reasonable, plus Jody told me it was imported from Japan,
all the more cheaper it is. Still, 225 sounds Expensive. Haha.

At Causeway Bay!

After getting the watch, all of us were thoroughly beat and (broke), so we made our way home,
skipping dinner altogether cause none of us were hungry!
(we just had soup about 45mins ago though)

Alright, let me present you my buys! :DDDD

At a glance! I am starting to like warm tones now, orange, red, brown, gold…
So today I got 2 tops, one pants which I am loving it by the way, 2(ahem)underwear and
finally, my pink gold watch! I have always wanted a pink gold watch ever since I saw the one this lookbok girl has!
Singapore had been selling it at such high price, so this is a definite steal! <3

Don’t you think it is so pretty!? The deer feel so Bambi! If I am going to Disneyland, I am wearing it.
Makes me feel so happy wearing it! :DDD

My shorts that came with the belt. Only HKD60 which means it is only SGD9.30!
This is just _________.

My 2 new top! Loving them too!

Argh, feeling so excited looking at them! Cheap and good! :DDD

One of the many reasons why I love Hong Kong!

Shermeen would love this place! Saw this cute vintage bag that she would love! Too bad, it doesn’t come in red or brown!
& I finally found this male apparel shop and my eyes totally landed on this cardigan which I know Ah Pong would love!

WILL go back there again. Prolly after my pay comes in! Hahaha.

if I continue eating the way I do, I am going to get so fat.

2011-09-10T01:05:00.001+08:00

All of us know that Hong Kong is a place to eat and shop.
& today, I really ate authentic Hong Kong food. Damn bloody awesome.
It’s like I can have them anytime, just like double cheeseburger.

Lunch on the left and dinner on the right.
Don’t look down on either of them ok. Ahem.

The soup you see there, it is shark fin’s soup(just the soup) with bee hoon, chicken slices, and mushroom, and maybe threads of fins.
All at only $1.80! & it is damn filling. As for my dinner, underneath is my favourite char siew. Their char siew is as big as 2 or 3 $1 put together,
or maybe even bigger than that and it is very thick! Plus the egg, and drink, $5.10. It may sounds expensive, but it is definitely worth the cost!

Our outfits today. Nothing new on either of us, besides my bag and Farhah’s shoes.

On the way back to office from lunch! :D

Today was rather busy, given a job in the afternoon and it was to photoshop away the background which a model was taken against.
Damn, the model’s hair is M.E.S.S.Y and I was asked to keep the strands sticking out. How is that even possible?!
Ok, I tried my best, and praise be to the Lord, Emma say she liked it and was really good work. Haha. Ended work at 7?

On the way home!

We took the tram, or in Hong Kong, they called it the “ding ding”. It was cheaper than the other public transport,
but one have to wait really long before it comes so there are the pros and cons.

Spam of me! I know you miss me!

Jody and Farhah went to get their hair done while Eunice was invited for a dinner with her colleagues, so I was on my own.
I just walked aimlessly, turning here, turning there, walking into alleys, not the secluded kinds though.
Found a nice 茶餐厅, a kind of a café, but Hong Kong style. Had my dinner and continued roaming till I met the girls at the salon.

Connie Sue, this is for you! Giant ass LeeHom tram!

That’s it for today. My room-mates and I are prolly going sightseeing tomorrow.
So there would be more photos! :D Goodnight!

melting into the wind in hong kong,

2011-09-08T22:24:00.001+08:00

Have I mention that my office faces the sea?
Yeah, if you were to look out the window, you would be able to see the sea,
and that is why my office area is really windy, so even though the sun is strong, the wind is stronger.

Went to Delifrance for lunch today.

The sandwich belongs to Farhah and mine is the linguine.
Not very awesome.

Our outfits of the day.
Farhah is wearing my new belt and as for me, once again, everything is new. Just got the pants yesterday.
Loving it alot.! :D

On the way back to office from lunch!

This is one of my favorite snack in Hong Kong!
They call it 鸡蛋仔, simply because it shapes like an egg! Haha.
Really nice! I remembered the last time I ate was chocolate flavor, and this one is the original one.
Farhah loves it too!

And I regretted not taking a photo of my dinner.
I had Char Siew rice today, authentic Hong Kong style! Very very very delicious.
I will have it for dinner tomorrow again! :DDD

& finally, I got a confession to make, recently I have been thinking about this particular person.
Yeah, it is a guy, so I think you should be able to guess who I am referring.
Coming here, especially during the first week, I am highly reminded of the first week when he was having his OSIP.
Ever since I came here, I have not stop contacting friends back in SG, via whatsapp, bbm, and skype.
I am on skype like 24/7 as well, it is like I never left, besides the fact that I don’t get to see them, and I can’t help but
feel that if during that time, we both had our individual phones we have right now, maybe we won’t turn out how we did.
After all, we had too many miscommunications along the way that caused to many unhappy things, then again, such things
are fated, not to mention such affinity.

OK! MUST GET THIS CLEAR: I am OVER him.
In case his friends see this and any how say stuff again.

Ok, that is it for today! I am going to do some reading then go to bed!
Goodnights! :D

I feel like a little girl, trying to conquer the whole wide world,

2011-09-07T22:24:00.001+08:00

Wore, yet again new clothes.
Work was very busy today, what is new? The pace is so fast here, so different compared to school.
Me like but don’t like at the same time.

Went to an Indian restaurant for lunch today, pretty near our work place.
It is in a shopping mall, hidden in the corner. Everything in HK is like hidden in corners so don’t hesitate to walk in sometimes.

Us sitting comfortably inside, waiting for our food to come.

Our different curries. A little high on the price so I don’t think we would go back.

Went for a little shopping after that, got 2 pants and a belt, they were a little expensive too, but I like them so I guess no regrets?
Haha. We shall see. Haha.

Our outfits of the day. I don’t understand why I look so fat in the photo but, whatever. Haha.
I know you can’t see it here, but I am actually wearing a cape shirt. Next time then I show you. Haha.

Did a homepage in 3 hours?
Emma said it was good work, but I don’t know…not much confident. Haha.

After work, we both went to explore our staying area, walked quite a distance in fact.
Many exquisite boutiques that are of reasonable price. As Farhah said it, it is like Haji lane, at a lower price.
Hehe. That’s why they say, shopping heaven! :D

While walking around.

This is one of the pants I got, and the belt as well. Haha.
Come to think about it it is still cheap, because such quality, Singapore sells at least 40 and above, but mine is like 20++.
Yeah, so it is still a steal. Hehe.

Alrights. Shall end here. I am so damn tired.

laksa, singaporean-style,

2011-09-06T23:16:00.001+08:00

Once again, Farhah and I went to explore further and deeper into our office vicinity.
There were many little boutiques that sells exquisite pieces, at reasonable prices, but we were more interested in food
and we found this Thai restaurant. The reason we decided to eat there was because they had laksa, Singapore-style.
How could we miss it right? So in we went.

Us, happy we found a place to eat!

Very artsy and Siam kind of décor. :)

I decided against the Laksa in the end, because there was Tom Yam + beef + glass noodle!
It is like the absolute combination for my choice of Thai food!

Happy girl is me! :D

Farhah with her home-made laksa!

Indulgence.

Work had been tiring these days, I am actually half dead right now. Sigh, so damn tired.
There is creative review tomorrow, I am not looking forward to it at all. I actually wanted to come back home to do one more piece,
but I am far too tired to do it. I am literally doing this with half eyes open.

In the lift of our building, going up to the 32/f where Y&R is.

This saved my life today. Halfway through work, I was so damn extremely tired, I sneaked out to the nearby supermarket to get some coffee.
I was tempted for a beer, I swear.

Check out my space in the office. It is quite big actually and rather exposed. Haha.
Everyone can see what I am doing. Oh, & by the way, there is one more post-it up on that iMac before I left office today.
& that bull clip you see there, it is use to pin moodboards, wireframes, drafts, and whatever onto the partition.
My sketch book, that is only one page.

I am beat. Dead beat.

And before I go to dreamland, to all my love back in SG, if you are unhappy now, have problems, need to talk to someone,
you can always whatsapp, bbm, or skype me, and whatever happens, remember to SMILE! :)

GOODNIGHTS.

Hong Kong with a camera

2011-09-06T02:11:00.001+08:00

Thanks to Jody, she introduced this thing called actions in Photoshop.
It edits your photo for you, preset by other people. So it just place in the settings.
Kind of fun to play with, but I know I would get sick of it soon.

Ok, so Farhah and I have officially started using my cameras.
& today, we also decided to really leave the building for lunch, and when I mean that, I mean really travel somewhere else.
We found a really decent restaurant called Beans, selling pasta and rice, and since there were no pork, we decided to eat that.

Farhah’s beef steak with rice. This is really good. I will eat this the next time I’m there.

This is mine – Minced Chicken steak with rice in Japanese curry sauce. Delicious.

The servings were quite big, even for a big eater like Farhah, she couldn’t finish her food either. For me, don’t need to say.
I didn’t too. The meal comes with fruit tea, all at HKD40, sounds a lot I know, but honestly, after conversion, it is only SGD6.40.
It is like eating in Pastamania, only cheaper, and bigger portion. We were both so full.
& eating rice made me happy, staple food. Asian genes, really can’t run away from it.

After lunch, in the midst of my busy schedule, yes, very busy, I still had the time to take photos. Haha.

Hehe. I am wearing my big eye contacts, in the photo(actually I am wearing in all), so how? Is it nice? Haha.
The other one is the project I am on now, but I have changed the layout already so I guess it is ok to show it here.

After work, Farhah and I decided to walk home because we had to get take-outs for the other 2 girls, and guess what we did while walking home?

Our outfits of the day.
Farhah is wearing her new platform heels and skirt.
I am wearing, basically everything on me is new, besides my shoes and accessories. :p
(That reminds me, I haven’t thought of what to wear tomorrow.)

Beautiful street view.
I really love Hong Kong, though I love Singapore more!

Farhah was craving for cakes, as always and we passed by a confectionary on the world, so we popped in and got ourselves cakes!

Spoilt for choice!

Like what tourists would do.

& while I was busy ordering the cake for us, Farhah was camwhoring. Haha.

I would love to have some of these, but it would surely stink the entire house.

Transportation that works exactly the same as Singapore, but instead of the ezlink card, we have the Octopus card.
It is pretty easy to get around actually, so long as you know your directions.

Camwhoring in the porridge shop while I was getting take-outs.

Happily with dinner and cakes. Haha.

In the lift, yes, the life is scary like that.

Taking outfits of the day. Love my maxi, my first maxi. Haha.

Us, camwhoring. What’s new?

Love this particular photo that Farhah took for me! :D

The cakes that cost 3 for HKD10, which equals to ONLY SGD1.50.
Like how cheap can this get? That means one is only, 50CENTS!!!
& don’t be mistaken, they are not cakes that tastes horrid, they are good quality cakes alright. TSK!

Look at how much Farhah is enjoying them?

Shall end this blogpost with us enjoying our cakes!
Goodnights!

To all my friends in back in SG, I miss all of you so much! Love y’all! <3

top & bottom

2011-09-05T11:31:00.001+08:00

Need more tanks, and I want a pair of ultra black leather shorts, best if it is patent leather.
Who am I kidding? I am in Hong Kong. Can get these any time.

If I even have the time.

Shopping heaven

2011-09-04T22:30:00.001+08:00

Yesterday, I brought the girls to this place called Argyle Centre for some shopping.
That is my favorite shopping centre in HK, selling all the Japanese, Korean, and Taiwan trends at really low costs.
It is like Bugis Street back in Singapore, except bigger and with more levels. Damn awesome.
I spent like 160SGD.

Ooh! I bought contacts!
Those big eyes kind, damn excited! My parents don’t want me wearing this kind of stuff but,
I really want to give it a go! Haha! Shall upload a photo tomorrow when I take a photo.

Ok, I am going to watch my show now.
Update soon! :)

Almost a week already,

2011-09-02T21:55:00.001+08:00

Big hello to all TwilightOfGreece readers! *waves frantically*

So, it is almost a week since I am here and I guess I am adapting really well.
Meals are still a little problem, so right now is Macs and Maggie. Oh, but I had one of the best porridge today!

Work is getting on track. Right now I already have a project on hand, quite stressful because my CD said the segment she gave me was important.
Hope I can do well for this. Yes, my office is on the 32/F.

HK is crazily organized and discipline.
They queue up for the lifts and stand on the right on the escalator unless they are rushing for time.
It is pretty amazing to see such a thing.

Food here are somewhat average in terms of price. They do have crazy cheap food that are nice, but some stuff can be expensive.
I would just treat it as eating in a typical foodcourt in Sg. OH! I got to eat my char siew. So happpppy!
Hong Kong has the bestest char siew on Earth man! Hehe.

Ok. Thinking if I should do work tonight? Haha.

That is it for now! Good nights!

Hong kong, yes.

2011-08-31T00:37:00.001+08:00

Yes, hello from Hong Kong, everybody!
Been trying my hardest to keep up with twitter and facebook.
Thank God for Wi-fi!

So yeah, flew on the 4.50pm flight yesterday and reached around midnight, hostel and all I meant.
Our room is kinda cute. It may seem small, but honestly, I think it is just nice. Very very cosy!

Ok, so firstly, to everybody who sent me to the airport, a realllllly big thank you!
I felt so happy that you guys were there, honestly!

The 2 guys who made it, Lester and Wen Feng! :D

The bestest friend in the world anyone could ever ask for! Like, I wouldn’t exchange ANYTHING there is in the world, in exchange to her!
She is the friend God wrapped up as a gift in! <3

These 2 came and gave me a surprise! Ah Pong kind of gave it away that Sharon would come, but Sharon told me she wasn’t so I really didn’t know she was coming,
and En Ni too! Although we are not close, but she is really nice and funny to hang around with! Gonna miss her too!

Daddy & Mummy! Although I always rant and whine at how much they over-restrict me and discipline me, but deep down, I love them.
Heck, I am missing them more than I thought I would! :’(

&&&&& I was the happiest when my cousins came. Love them to bits and bits and bits!
Love how I used to be the spoilt brat and they didn’t like me cause of it, but now they accepted me and love me!
L.O.V.E THEM. Too bad Terence couldn’t make it, but its ok!

Recently, I feel like I look a lot like my mother. Especially in a particular photo!
People used to say I look like my dad though! haha!

Tsk! Don’t know who say we do-re-mi! Where got? Me and En Ni same height ok! Sheesh!

The 2 guys who sent me off! Sigh, a pity Ah Pong couldn’t make it!
It would be a perfect picture. He was still a dear, sending me gifts and flowers.
Sigh, I would love to bring his love over, but…….. my luggage was too full! :((((

Us, on the plane.
We were seperated, I don’t know why. I remember the person saying she is putting us together.
We were in the same row though.

Ok, shall stop updating here.
Will update as soon as possible.
I am so tired right now.

Goodnights!

so, this is it.

2011-08-29T01:17:00.001+08:00

Time check, now is 1:12am.
In 24 hours time, I would probably be getting prepared for my internship the next day in HK.

Flight is tomorrow at 4.50pm.
Everything still feels so unreal. I don’t even feel like I am flying tomorrow.
& that my first “job” would be in Hong Kong.

Sigh. I hope I am prepared for this.
This trip there, to me, is a trip to get my mind clear and to start afresh.
I hope when I come back, I come back as a brand new person.
*fingers crossed*

Well, next post would be probably from the bed in my hostel.
Will miss everybody! :'(

Too bad nobody got the booze,

2011-08-27T00:26:00.001+08:00

Treasure this chance, this is going to be a one time thing. Haha.
Yes, that is us, before and after. I think it is 2 years difference? or is it 3?
Notice, I got a ring, ahem… hahahh!

So today, the 3 of us gathered at Shermeen’s place because Shermeen finally decided to keep her promise and cook us a meal.
So far, no stomach-ache! haha.

I was the first to arrive, and I thought we were meeting at 11, in the end, we were suppose to meet at 11.30. Tsk.

Shermeen’s current love of her life.

And when Ting Ting arrived, Shermeen started cooking!

Main dish, chicken chop!
It was quite delicious I should say! Thumbs up!

Us, camwhoring while poor Shermeen cooking.

Ransacking her room.

And ta-dah! Shermeen’s hard work!
Chicken thigh, with baked potato, topped with chesse and bacon! YUMMY!
There are also mushroom soup and cheesecake, cheesecake was also baked by Shermeen!
Very nice! :DDD I don’t have photos of those though.

BAM! Haha! Haven’t seen my new hair cut right? There is it! haha!
Ting said I look more confident, Shermeen said it look sharper, and I am liking it as the day passes! haha!

After a fulfilling lunch.

Shermeen, entertaining herself with mocca.

The trio! <3<3<3

Yay! That’s it for today! Haha!
Love today very much! One of the photos is now my wallpaper! Muahaha!
I am so going to miss them when I am away!!! & thankfully, they are sending me off!
Really don’t want to be apart from them, like a different sky.

Ting would be going Korea for 3 weeks, and me for 2 months, and Shermeen would be left alone in Singapore.
:(

Never mind, we will unite soon! :DD

Love you girls, to the brim.

Horrible, just horrible

2011-08-26T00:29:00.001+08:00

Caught this show with Shermeen, Evon, Ah Pong and Kent.
Weird combination, but nice combination.

And the show, too damn funny!
Jennifer Aniston is toooooo hot for her age, ok, she has greek blood.
Makes her an almost goddess. She is so sexy.

You should watch it.

Flying on Monday at 4.50pm.
Everything is confirmed and it is all about leaving now.

I am going to miss everybody! :’(

slightly less than a week,

2011-08-23T23:21:00.001+08:00

Sigh, I know I shouldn’t be sighing, but still, sigh.

Today is Tuesday, which means it is another 5 more days before I leave my small sunny island to another not-so-small, sunny island.
Hong Kong has ALWAYS been my No.1 country to go in Asia. LOVE LOVE LOVE Hong Kong.
By right, I should be VERY excited about the idea of living there for 12 whole weeks.

A part of me can’t wait to leave this place, but a part of me can’t help it but start missing everybody already.
I know I am going to miss everyone who are dear to me, and even those I’m not close to.
I have already start receiving well-wishes from all over the place and that isn’t helping.
But I feel blessed. :)

Am going to spend the rest of my days here seeing everybody, relatives, good friends, people I love…
Buffet with Shermeen tomorrow, movie/I don’t know what on Thursday,
Shermeen cooking lunch for me and Tings on Friday, (secretly I am very touched),
then steamboat for dinner after with my father’s side relatives, and yet again, another steamboat on Saturday with my maternal relatives.

I am going to miss all the food here toooooo!
Had bedok 85 just now, Tuan Kee on Friday, the only thing I didn’t get to eat is authentic Indian curry fish head.

I am almost done with packing.
So right now, I need to clear up my emotions and get ready for a new life in HK!
All these feel so unreal, actually.
Like if I don’t stop to think, it doesn’t at all feel like I will be leaving any time soon.

Oh well.

3 weeks,

2011-08-19T21:10:00.001+08:00

Just ended my 3 weeks of local internship here in Singapore.
I will be leaving for HK on the 28th of August, Sunday.

Right now, I need to start packing and be prepared for life in HK.
These 3 weeks in Y&R, I guess I would know what to expect from them now.
Wish me all the luck ok.

Yes, that is the necklace I got from L-hearts. :)

IT is not goodbye, it is the start of another journey

2011-08-19T00:38:00.001+08:00

Boo.
Helping my mother to download some games right now, so to kill time, here I am.

Anyway, I have been meeting up with some of my friends these days.

My date of departure has been set on 29th August 2011!

So, I had to start meeting up people I would miss. :)

So, last Saturday, I met up with Lester to go for some shopping and lunch.
Hehe. Brought him to Marche, he doesn’t know how to eat Swiss food, so it was his virgin trip there.
He loved the rosti!

Did some shopping but didn’t even get anything on my shopping list. -.-
Went to the Scape flea and got a white top, which I am wearing now, at this very moment. Haha.
$8 only leh! And he got this thumbdrive that looks like a key for his friend’s birthday.
Ice-cream seems to be a must for us whenever we go out and we always eat back the same one. Haha.

Been on a Muji craze too! Keep buying stuff from there.
Now I am eyeing this bag from there, but it cost almost 80bucks.
Shermeen liked that bag too!

Then I had work as usual, met up with the secondary school people on Tuesday.
I swear, Tuesday was one of the most horrible day ever. Standing under the sun for 12 hours isn’t a big joke.
Any idea how tan I am right now?! The first thing Marcus said when he saw me was, “why are you so tan?”
Even stella said I am darker now. :( Ok, but now the tan has turned into a pretty healthy glow, so I am ok with it.

Anyway, had dinner with them at Ang Keong and caught up with each other.
Everyone is so busy with their own stuff, it has been some time since we actually had dinner together, and it is a pity Shermeen can’t be there.
Much thanks to her swollen cheeks. I had to use my iPod to take the photos because the original plan was to to go home and take it, who would
expect me to end work at 7.30pm? I was suppose to end work at noon that day! D;

Still, it is better than nothing.

The 2 guys who came. There was suppose to be 2 more, but they didn’t manage to make it.
Will have it with them next week! :D

Kailin

Vanessa

Evon

Sharon.

The trio. <3

And my dearest male friend ever, Jonathan aka Ah Pong! <3

Gonna meet up with Ah Pong again, this coming Saturday! We are gonna catch zookeeper!
I can’t wait. Been wanting to watch this show since forever! :D

Will meet Shermeen and Ting Ting again for lunch at Shermeen’s place. Somebody is gonna cook for us!
*wriggle brows*
And after Monday, Shermeen and I are going for Korean buffet! :DDD
Oh, and that reminds me, I need to contact Wei Sian and Leong Wei to meet next week! And probably Gordon too!
Who else??? Cousins? Ok, if I am not working next week, I will pay a visit to my cousins, currently ALL studying at NTU.

So much to do, so little time. Suddenly I feel unprepared.

Oh, and today, I got myself a pretty cross necklace from L-hearts.
Coincidentally I knew the shop owner. Ok, not really know, but when we saw each other, we got a mild shock and I was like, “are you luanne?”
Haha. Luanne is R’s friend and we only knew each other by photo. Such coincidence!

When I saw the photo, I thought the cross would be quite big, and I was worried cause I don’t really like big crosses.
Thankfully, it is small and still considered feminine, it is easy to match too! And it will not rust(duh!).
The cross is made of Swarovski elements! Really really love it!

Shall take a photo of me wearing it tomorrow and tag L-hearts!
Will surely get more stuff from them, and it is not even expensive.

http://www.facebook.com/lhearts.blogspot
http://l-hearts.blogspot.com/
Pay them a visit ok, they really have some pretty things.

Ok, shall go do my mask and watch PLL.

Oh, by the way, look!

This is my current desktop background, and would stay as it is all the way when I come back to Singapore.
Just in case I get really tried when I am alone, must remember that there are always people who love me and support me back home! :D

I really hope to meet this person before I fly, after all, he was a special friend, sigh, but I really can’t bring myself to ask him out.
Hopefully when I return, things would be better.

Booze & pasta, greens and sauces

2011-08-13T00:31:00.001+08:00

(sorry for bad resolution, taken from instagram)

So, finally, had a nice session with Ting Ting & Shermeen yesterday.
I would say it is a dinner with a little mini booze session for us.
Ok, we will have a proper one when I come back home. :)

Us three :)

Of all days, I forgot to bring my camera. I told myself before I left home, but I still forgot.
But that’s ok! Cause Ting got a new one! :D
Her camera has damn lots of effect and one of my favourites is the sparkle magic one.

Look at the sparkle!! *.*
Like a pretty only right!? Love it!

My rose wine in the sparkle mode. Haha!

I chose wine cause I didn’t want my parents to know I’m out drinking, Ting and Shermeen opted for the beer.
Hoegarden and Stella, awesome.

Ting’s

Shermeen’s

Mine!

I don’t know why, I am always hungry after work. Like starving hungry.
I mean, I have really good food around me since I work in town, and an awesome pantry that provides everything for free.

(even the tiger beers and the Evian water and the vending machine, and bread of all brands,
biscuits of all kinds, spreads of almost everything, DIY drinks and even fruits too!
Every single thing at the price of 0! Not forgetting the Wii and playstation3!)
Jealous already?

And crazily enough, I am always very hungry!

Ok, enough of showing off my office’s pantry!

Say so much, I haven’t mention where we had our dinner! Haha!
We had at it at this nice restaurant and bar called Brussel Sprouts.
They have 2 branches, one at East Coast and the other at Clarke Quay. We chose the EC one.

Me & my delights! :D

Made fun of Shermeen, telling the waiter that it was her bachelorette’s party & the waiter congratulated her! Haha.
But he knew we were just playing along! :p

Had lots of fun talking to them and catching up with them. Quite funny actually! Haha!.
Went back to Tampines One after the dinner for frolick. I don’t appreciate yogurt, so I only had the strawberries. Haha.
Then we all headed back after, it was near 10pm already. Hehe.

Group photo. I feel so small here! Haha!

So today is friday and it marks the end of 2nd week of my internship in Singapore.
I should be leaving next week. I am still not sure yet, but PJ is guessing so.
I haven’t even packed yet! I don’t even know what to bring, but I will be going shopping with Lester tomorrow to get some things.

& recently because I have free wifi in my office, I took a liking for instagram, so haha, bombing time! :D

About to sleep in the office already. There are days when it gets really bored and tiring.

With Farhah.

Young & Rubicam <3

B O R I N G

A book jacket I got for my sketch notebook today! :D

Last, promise! :D

Alrighty, shall watch a show and sleep soon.
Got to wake up at 11 tomorrow and reach somerset at 1230.
Hope Lester is in craving for some sweden delights. Wait, is Marche even from Sweden?

Haha. Nights people! Lots of love! <3

I felt something strong, and it broke me

2011-08-11T23:18:00.001+08:00

Last night was a horrible night for me, really damn horrible.

Hurting you was never what I wanted to do.
Your love to me is so important, very important, but I know it is not right to hold you back.
Going away from you, hurts me because you have always been there for me.
Assuring me, comforting me, supporting me, giving me things I don’t deserve.
Many a times, I ask myself, why now? Why at this time, when it is so so wrong?
Why now, when my guards are up to protect myself? Wrong time.

I couldn’t sleep last night. A friend called me in the wee hours and I told him about it.
I understood what he said, I knew it all along, but I can’t get myself to face it.

Now, I can only pray that time will heal, time will pass so everything gets better.

Yes, I do want everything to get better, so much so, sometimes, I do it wrongly.

At work right now,

2011-08-08T17:15:00.001+08:00

Hello all! I am at work right now. Time check, it is 5:11pm and I am suppose to have a meeting at 5pm.
But I am guessing my director forgot about it.

Ok. What should I do now? Still praying that my visa for HK would pass through soon,
so I can fly~~~~~~ Haha.

Ok. Having dinner with Ting Ting and Shermeen on Thursday! Can’t wait.

Argh, having migraine now. Awful. Bye.

A few things, just here and there.

2011-08-03T00:29:00.001+08:00

Haven’t been blogging photos or like proper post, usually just words and all.
oh well. Have a few photos to show, and what I have been up to these days.

This is the guy whose 21st birthday party I attended. Didn’t blog about the party, did I?
Know him since I was 15, so 4 years and this is the first time I celebrated his birthday with him. Oops. Haha.
Spent the entire night BBQ-ing and making some friends. Nice people around, and also some from church I already know.

Then, last Friday, I met up with my loveliest cousins and enjoyed a act-class gathering with them.
We had the whole blazer themed going on, so it was pretty fun. All of us were suppose to act like we were super rich or something, but failed. Haha.

So we went to Mariner’s corner for dinner and then headed to chinatown for some shopping. Haha.
Wearing all so nicely and then going chinatown shopping. So much for wanting to act class. Haha.

Sad me, no siblings. :( Haha.
Hardie is getting more and more handsome too! I’m serious!

Check out my heels! Only SGD16! Haha. I’m so going to bring to HK. Haha.

We all decided to go home exceptionally early that day, but the T-sius and I were a tad hungry still, so we changed course and alighted at Bedok for
a quick supper. Haha! Where else but Bedok 85 right!

We only had minced pork noodle though, I was all for stingray and chicken wings but Teni’s voice wasn’t getting better, so we decided to keep it till next time.
I always love having supper with people I love. I don’t know why. Makes me feel happy.
OOOH! & you will never guess who I ran into! Haha! I saw Leong Wei and R there. Got quite a big shock. Haha.

Ok. So the fun is over.
Had my first day of internship over at Y&R Singapore.
This is to be fair to my other classmates because I still have 2 weeks till I fly.
It was quite cool to be in a design agency, lots of interesting people around.
Lovely pantry! Haha. Vending machines were totally free! HAHA!

Gotten my first real project. For the NAVY. Haha.

Alright, alright, shall stop yabbering.
Need to get some ideas up before I head to bed.
Oh yeah! No dress code, it’s like going to school, except for the waking up at 7.30am part. Groans.

2011-08-02T01:10:00.001+08:00

Sorry, I want to put up a proper blog post.
But I am too upset/angry to do it now.
It will come, I promise.

Meanwhile, pray for me ok, I am going to report at Y&R local branch for work tomorrow,
or rather in 7 hours time.

But his revenge, was murder

2011-07-27T01:51:00.001+08:00

I haven’t been doing as much reading as I did in the past, in fact, I totally forgotten that reading was one of my pastimes.
So the last time I went out with Xiu Xian, this title caught me in the bookstore we went and I bought it few days later.

I just finished it today and this book kind of caught me in a way my other books never.

I cannot help but feel sorry for the lead.
Ok, here is the rough idea:

Peter grew up being bullied, being teased, he was afraid to go to school for fear of being shoved into walls, lockers,
he was afraid of being mocked and laughed. Everything started when he was only in Kindergarten when his lunch box was threw out of the school bus for absolutely no reason.
He just so happened to be the kid that everyone loves to bully, even if he didn’t do a single thing.
People called him a homo, or a gay because his puberty was later than his peers.
He found his comfort zone in the cyber world, a world where he had control, he created games, and website.
He had a crush on a girl who was once his friend, but ditched him to join the popular people. The love confession letter he sent to her was spammed to everybody in school.
He had an older brother who was the better son, the better student, the better jock and Peter tried so hard to be like him, but failed, in fact, his brother was part of the
group who bullied him.
He was undressed, fully naked by the popular people, in the middle of the school cafeteria.

One day, Peter snapped and killed everyone who bullied him all within 19 minutes.
10 died, 18 injured. 10 who died were the people who caused such an action of Peter.

You see, I get the point that no matter how bad it was, murder was wrong and regardless of the reason, one should not do so.
But as I read along, I felt sorry for Peter, I could understand why he went to such an extreme, not that I ever thought of murdering anyone.
Nobody understood how Peter felt, everyone in the book felt sorry for those who died, but honestly, they deserve it, in a way.
They kind of bring it on to themselves. That, this is the consequence they had to pay for whatever they did to Peter for the past several years.
I know the idea of me having such thoughts is awful, but I pity Peter and hated those people who bullied him.

To me, whatever Peter did was self-defense. Not murder.
He TRIED putting a stop to the bullying. He TRIED standing out of the way of those people.
He did whatever he could to stop whatever was happening. But to those people, it was never enough,
whatever Peter did, or rather so long as Peter exist, it is a reason good enough to do mean things to him.
Peter wasn’t in the wrong at all.

What Peter ever wanted in his life was a friend, was love from his parents, was to a be a normal kid.

In any case, he was sent to jail for lifetime imprisonment, but he chose the path of death not long after his sentence started.
At the moment when I read that paragraph, I felt happy for Peter, because he was finally free.
He was finally happy.

& Peter deserves to be happy.

2011-07-26T01:32:00.001+08:00

Can I don’t think about anything, just this once?
Close my eyes and watch the world pass by me?
I am so tired of everything.

& everything is the reason why I wish I am gone right now.

Trust, love, friends, what is true, & what is fake?
I don’t want to keep guessing anymore.

Maybe it is true, I am better off without these.

Good in goodbye, and hell in hello. Oh brother.

2011-07-21T02:14:00.001+08:00

Ok. I am so about to wrap up P4. & I am happily tired about it.
Yeah, happy and tired all at the same time.

Was reading my friend’s tweets and she was tweeting about her future.
Well, I can’t say much for my future, but in the near future, here is what I see.
When I mean near, I meant the day after, the week after & the month after, not few years later.

I am going to celebrate a friend’s 21st birthday this coming Friday.
(secretly I am looking forward to it, because it is a party, but I am sure there must at least 20 people I do not know)

Then on Saturday, I have a house warming party to attend, coincidentally, at the exact same block a certain someone live at.

Hopefully on the 29th I will be able to meet my cousins for a good meet-up. All of us are mad busy.
We are intending to go to Sentosa, and probably head to Maritime corner for a good meal.
We were suppose to have this blazer dress code meet-up but meh…

Before that, I have to survive an entire week of exhibition for my P4. Groans.

Shermeen is going to treat me @ Brussels Sprout Restaurant and Beer Bar, together with Ting Ting!
I am looking forward to that. I always wanted to try out that place, but it looks expensive.
The last time we met was like my birthday? Ages ago! Plus also, Shermeen’s crush is there.

Stella and Yanting are also thinking of having a meet-up outside school before our internship starts, so judging the time,
next week! Haha.

In probably a month, or slightly lesser than a month, I would be on a plane, 3 and half hours flight to Hong Kong,
& officially start my 3 months of independence. Looking forward, but worried. Haha.

Can you imagine, me, walking into the office and going “Hi, I am an intern, my name is Priscilia!”
Oh gosh.

3 months later when I come back, it is my FYP(ARGH!) and then it will be the end of poly life for me, graduation.
I am looking at a few universities too, but none of them are in Singapore. HK is one of them though.
So when I am there, I would check out the university and college that I am interested in. Hehe.

Seems like I do have plans too. Haha.

But my plan right now is to sleep. :)

When you are on the bed, what is in your head?

2011-07-20T16:46:00.001+08:00

Not a fan of Star wars, but this is cute. Hehe.

I am so sick of P4 already. This project is toooo long, although I admit if not for the length of it, I would have been screwed.
Bored, sick and tired of it. I can’t wait for Friday to come and (almost) all is over.

Argh. Nothing to blog.
Friday is Lester’s 21st birthday, and will be celebrating with him for the first time.
Been rejecting his invitation for the past 3 or 4 years. Still no running away from it.
& why are guy’s apparel so expensive??? WHY?! A jacket is like 50bucks already.

/Heart break.

Also I am not excited about going for OSIP already. Like the anxiety and excitement is all over.
Maybe because there is P4 and because have to go through all the procedures and all, so it kind of killed the excitement.
Still looking forward to it though, and like mummylove said, when the date is nearer, the excitement level would be higher.
:D

Ok. JIAYO FOR P4!!!
ALL THE WAY TO TOMORROW ALREADY! :DDD

谢谢你，愿意爱我那瞬间

2011-07-17T03:05:00.001+08:00

喜歡看你傻傻的表情
好像全世界都很平靜
或許是老天爺特別的疼你
果然愛情悄悄地降臨

這種快樂并不必懷疑
或許你只需要睜大眼睛
用心地體會這種美好的滋味
有一天你會真的了解

多么希望幸福在你身邊
看你的愛情有個完美句點
再給我一點時間
要繪出一個畫面
是你轉身微笑的澀臉

多么希望祝福圍繞你身邊
像許多白鴿飛舞的藍天
讓你追逐的世界
變得那么確切
慢慢畫著心中的花園

& suddenly, you found the key that I lost,

2011-07-17T02:56:00.001+08:00

5 years apart, 5 years ago.

This year, I have been keeping myself real guarded. My heart was numb to almost everything that could have touched me.
I met guys who were awesome to me, and I knew if I were with them, I would be safe, loved, cherished and supported.
But still, as much as I want to be loved, my heart was locked up. I didn’t want to take the risk, the leap of faith.
I didn’t want to experience what I did a year ago, that feeling isn’t anything I could forget and I swore never to allow myself go through it again.

Yet, I met you. You made me felt that it was ok, that you were worth the risk.
You will be just a passing story, you will not be someone who will make a significant change to me.
However, it is because of you, I realized that I am actually still willing to take a risk for love.
You made me felt that.

A day with you was enough for me.
I will miss you. Not for long, but more or less, I will.

I don’t think I like you. No, it is not like, or love, I am sure.
It seems more like, you delivered the key that I threw away a year ago, you presented it to me,
& tell me that it is ok to unlock my heart, that it was ok to love someone and get hurt.

Now, I hold on to that key, wondering what I should do.
Am I ready to let myself take the risk? Am I ready to experience that almost dying pain once more?

I wish you happiness, I know whatever is happening in your life now is complex,
but you deserve to be happy. & I hope that for you. Truly, I do.

A little more, and a little less,

2011-07-15T04:52:00.001+08:00

According to a Facebook application I just played, if I were a witch, my patronous would be a swan.
Kind of unexpected for a girl like me to be able to conjure up a swan right?

Anyway. A few good things happened today, a few bad things happened too.
I am not going what is the bad thing that happened, but I swear with my life, if I ever allow myself to do whatever I did again, may I burn in hell till God forgives me.
I’m serious. Even till now, I am still thinking about it. Sigh. Guilt, and disbelief.

So, ready for the good news people?
I WILL BE GOING ON A 12 WEEKS INTERNSHIP WITH THE DESIGN AGENCY, ~~WUNDERMAN~~ Y&R HONGKONG!
(same company la actually, all under one big family called Y&R Wunderman )

To be honest, I had my interview a while back, but I didn’t want to blog about it because I didn’t want to get my hopes too high.
I was afraid I would face disappointment, ok, yes, I did an anxiety post, but not really about how I felt after the interview.

Basically after my interview, I was very depress, very jumpy. The interview was a spark to get me thinking about the future.
What I wanted to do after graduation? Work, studies? What did I want from myself?
I see all my friends listing out their options, universities and all, but that never pacified me to think about it.
Somehow that interview worked for me.

The interview really got me all geared up to be ready to face what my future might be.
I love this industry, and I am trying hard to keep up, but I did asked myself if this was what I wanted.
Turns out, I didn’t mind doing what I am doing. Though I am still tired, which was why I really wanted to get pass my interview
and work at Wunderman.

The whole process was absolute low-profile.
I thought trying out Wunderman was quite a big gamble. I had to depend on my lecturer to get things going, entirely based on trust alone. I didn’t want to probe too much because I didn’t want to be seen as irritating or desperate. I wanted to play it cool, but I was all nervous inside. I was worried that it may never work out cause I wasn’t fighting with just people from my school, but also the local student in HK and the interns they may take in from other overseas design college. I even had another company in HK which wants to hire me well, playing as my backup. Yes. I very much want to get out of the country, leave this place for a little while. Although I am not there to enjoy or play, but to work, at least I am away from problems. Don’t get me wrong, I am not running away from my problems, but I wanted a clear head, I wanted to leave this place to forget things, and as Mathias said, to discover myself and see how far I can go. Going out, I want to push myself to the extreme, force myself to grow up, learning what it is like to be truly and solely independent and most importantly, gain my parents’ trust. I know I always makes it sound like I want to get away from them, but the truth is, I want to show that I am capable of looking after myself, that even without them by my side, I can survive it all, and through it all, have more faith and trust in me. & also to show this certain someone that looking down on me was wrong.

I am more than grateful that I got it, so I promised myself that no matter what I face, how tough the challenges can be, I will and must not give up.
I will get through it all.

Right now, I still have no idea when I am flying or where will be staying, but this space would be updated with more information. :)

Watched Harry Potter, finale today.
Shall not be a spoiler, but I should say, I am a tad disappointed, although my best friend thought otherwise.

Good nights/morning.

Cause you feel like paradise, and I need a vacation tonight,

2011-07-12T03:05:00.001+08:00

Remember I said I need a breather? Cousins asked me out today and without a second thought, I said ok.
I totally needed to a getaway. & it seemed like this is the best option I have thus far.

Nope, Wunderman have not called. :(

I think I won’t be able to a good job for interim 2.
P4 is just screwed for me, but I am not giving up just yet. I am just gonna do my best.
It shall be a full day of work for me tomorrow. JIAYO.

Oh, finally finally finally caught up with my little cousin, Tez.
Haven’t seen her since she came back. Haha. & now I finally did. :D
Bought a whole load of stuff as usual, what is new for me? The Ts were unusually excited about shopping today.
& I finally got back my Chanel which I lent to Teni. :D

Oh well, can’t wait for Wednesday to end and for Thursday to come.
In the midst, please let me receive something from Wunderman.
I had a dream last night and it was a freaking rejection email!
It was so real, I got up to check my phone for the email, thinking that I really got that email. Thank God it was just a dream.

You know when people say dreams are opposite of reality?
Yeah, I’m pinning all hopes on that saying right now.
Please, please let something come true for this year. It has been tough enough.

Shall wear my new owl shirt to make me a happier person tomorrow. :)

Everyone said let nature take its course, but I can’t help it,

2011-07-10T03:41:00.001+08:00

I am going mad, crazy.
The tension I have been putting myself these days is higher than I have ever reached.
Ever since the interview from Wunderman, my mind has always been on it.
& I really got a bad feeling.

I can’t help it. I know there is really not anything I can do.
& usually when I know there is nothing I can do, I just let it be, except this time I can’t.
I have no idea why.

Interim 2 for P4 is so near. & I am only done with what?
Screens? Flash, I am not even halfway. Sigh.
Why is this happening to me? It never happened to me.
My confidence level is running so low. WHY!?
I am being so pessimistic! WHY?!

Not to mention, I am also doing freelance job.

This is killing me. 4 projects, and OSIP.
KILLING ME.

A friend was chatting with me today and I was telling her these stuff and she said that it is so not me.
I also know it is not me, but I really can’t help it.
There is a fear there. I just don’t know how to express it.
ARGH. I just hate it when I am like that. This sucks. :’(

I need a breather. :(

On a slightly happier note, I managed to catch up with this friend of mine.
I should say he is a pretty “special” friend. Haha.
Technically I know him for 4 years, but we never meet, never talked, we just text and it is the VERY once in a while kind of thing.
Saw him on Skype yesterday and started a chat with him. Haha. We chatted for like 3 or 4 hours, till 7am in the morning.
Ok, we talked about the most random and weirdest stuff. Haha.
Best, we even opened video chat and that was like the first time in 4 years we actually saw each other.
It was all pretty funny, but I enjoyed it. It was fun. Haha.

Ok. I need my slumber.
Argh, still feeling down.
Pray for me ok. Please.

2011-07-08T09:41:00.001+08:00

Ok. Officially screwed. Ok. Maybe not.
I don’t know! I don’t know if my interview went well or not!?
The director was so friendly and whatever and that totally made me laid down my guards.
He was laughing during the interview, I don’t even know if it was dry laugh or genuine laugh.
This is damn scary. I have never been so scared of interviews ever in my life.

Talking to him on Skype is like…
Ok. He said he will send email after he interviewed Theresa.
Is it an acceptance email or a … I can’t think!
Oh the anxiety! Now all I can do is wait.

He said he likes me, I hope he really likes me, I am really pinning all my hopes here already.
And you know what is the worse thing about Skype which is also a good thing?!
Is that you can see yourself! You can see how your hair was, how your smile was, what your subconscious actions were.
I don’t know what I did was right or wrong?!

Felix’s PiComDi didn’t work for me at all. Oh great.
At the end of the interview he asked a question from me, and I asked what could I learn from the company if I were there?
He was caught in mild shock and was like erm…
Is that a correct question?

Oh God, Please give me this! :/
I really want to get out of this country, BADLY.

Shopping list, although I am messed up with work right now,

2011-07-07T02:10:00.001+08:00

Ok. I am going through lots of shit right now. Work mainly.
Just emailed a client saying that I am unable to give her what she needs so soon. :(
Argh. P4 is also finally getting on my nerves. I am totally regretting the product I chose. :(

Anyway. In the midst of all these nonsense, I am eyeing on some stuff I saw on the net.
Need shopping soon!

#1 Gold watch.
I have a white one, a black one and a tiffany blue one but I can’t help but fall in love with this one.
Besides I don’t need a Rolex or whatsoever, I am not wanting gold gold, I want a little pinkish gold, like the one on top.
Shall head to Marina Square soon. They have a lovely shop that sells pretty watches at reasonable price. :)

#2 Suede High Heel Boots
I know I already have a pair, and it is almost impossible to get a pair as gorgeous as the one above.
I still love my oxford boots, but I really miss my old suede. They match with anything.
So I really want it. :( But this is WANT. Hehe.

#3 Sequin shorts
Ok. This pair is pretty. & I have a recent love for sequin. Hehe.
Wonder what I can match it with, but there is always a way. Haha.
Where can I get this? :(

#4 Flats
I know I should be happy with my Toms, but somehow, I miss wearing ballerina flats too.
Should not have thrown my 2 pair of flats away. :( Argh.

#5 Vintage backpack.
Don’t ask me why, I already have 2. Mummylove wanted to give me her LV one, but I declined it.
:D Should I? Haha. Bags, as always…

And finally

#6 Cruiser
HAHAHAHHAHAH! Who am I kidding? I am way past the age of cycling around.
I used to though. HAHA. But they are really pretty. Thanks to a certain someone, I fell in love with cruisers.
But they are freaking expensive. :(

Oh ya, I saw Shermeen’s post talking about a certain R then she stroke it out cause she say it reminded her about another R.
Haha. I actually find that funny. :DD

Alrights. Back to work.

Let’s just do this hand in hand, get it over and done with,

2011-07-05T03:18:00.001+08:00

Girls on tumblr makes me feel like I’m not a girl. :(
Funny thing is I am always tumblr-ing for them.

Anyway, my tumblr is going through a change.
Nowadays I am blogging out photos I find from random places instead of just reblogging other people’s stuff. Haha.
So it gets pretty exciting, especially when my followers increase in big numbers. Haha.

So ok, I woke up this morning to an email from Elvis about interim 2.
Honestly, it freaked me out, it seemed like it is submission with all the navigations need to be working and what not.
By 13th July. Meow. This is not good.

On a happy note, my closet is coming in this Saturday.
Muahaha. I am so looking forward to its arrival. :DDD More space for more clothes! Haha.

Oh, and my clients have started sending me their files and contents.
2 freelance, 1 CDI, P4, and OSIP/SIP. Busy girl is me.
I was still thinking about swimming tomorrow. Seems like I have no time to do so already. :(

Oh well, I shall kick my tumblr addiction(hopefully), and get all my things done according to my own drawn-up schedule.

Yay pris! You can do this! :D

No, you don’t go around asking, “do you know how I feel?”

2011-07-04T00:22:00.001+08:00

Cause the ones who care don’t need you asking that question in the first place.

Okay, that was just a thought.

School’s starting tomorrow and I sure am not looking forward to it, really not looking forward.
I do want P4 to end which by the way I am too lazy to do anything about it. I have been procrastinating big time during this 2 weeks vacation. :(

And I have so many events coming up. Birthdays, House Warming(s), Renovation, blah blah blah.
They made me wish P4 never started.

There isn’t any news for internship as well, and I am getting pretty worried about it.
Sigh.

Just don’t want to go to school.

They say when one door closes, God will open the other, I believe that now,

2011-07-02T22:25:00.001+08:00

Many things have happened over the past few months. Many dramatic, unexpected, crazy things happened.
Most of which due to my stupidity, my idiocy and my impulsiveness, of which I regretted, and at some point, am sorry for it.

Many a times, we humans will always have a wish to turn back time and have a choice of starting over again.
But deep down we all know such a wish is just nonsensical, that we can only go that far.

There are also times when we want to make up for the many wrong things we have done.
We try so hard with all the power we have to do so and it ends up the wrong way, especially when we try too hard.

We will all reach a point when we will be misunderstood, hated and ostracized,
and we know there is nothing much we can do to turn it around and trying to do so will increase whatever negative feelings there are.

There is no use fighting, arguing, complaining, or harping on it.
Sometimes, all we can do is just do our part and be ourselves.
After all, there is only so far that a person can go.

I was once helpless, I wasn’t the one that could decide if things could be ok.
There was a moment I thought I was going crazy, the anxieties and worries filled within everyday, was scary beyond imaginations.

I should say that the matter had somehow blown off but I’m not taking any chances.
Neither am I going to take advantage of the situation.

I am glad that I have Yanting and Stella with me through these times.
They are like God-given gifts. Seriously. They make me feel better.

A friend once asked me if I was happy.
Well, I am not too sure about happy happy, cause a small part of me still feels upset over what happened.
But I am sure I am peaceful.

I feel so much better saying all these. :)

Rain, please stay…

2011-06-29T13:01:00.001+08:00

Waking up today was really great.

Woke up at 10 as I set my alarm. The office called asking me to do freelance,
it was raining, the AC was still on, ChunChun and WeiXi were beside me, my room smelt of VS’s Lost in Fantasy,
my tumblr got 11 followers overnight.

I can wake up to this any day.

Now I am waiting for Yanting & Stella to call so I can get prepared to meet them for lunch.
I was too lazy to meet them in the morning. Haha.

Rain, please stay. I want to wear my thick knit pullover. Haha.

Thanks for being there, in the most special way,

2011-06-28T01:11:00.001+08:00

I have a friend, a very very special one.
He is not a part of my clique, he is almost non-existent in my life. I barely meet him.
Yet, he is always there when I am lost, or afraid. He just knocks on my door(literally!) and asks me how am I.
Every single time, without fail. It is as if he got a message from me telepathically or something.

He is a mentor, in fact, I am not even sure if we are even considered friends.
I barely know him, though he does shares some of his amazing life experience with me.
& he always makes me feel better after talking to him, and that rarely works.

I have always whine to a friend and after hanging up the phone, I still feel awful.
But for this him, it is different. His words really makes me feel less upset.

Honestly, I am looking forward to meeting him on Thursday.
It is the first time we are going out to chill/catch-up, and a part of me thinks it is going to be the weirdest thing ever.
But I can’t wait to meet him.

Oh, I really can’t wait.

Mummy, can I get an ink, please?

2011-06-27T23:47:00.001+08:00

If I ever, ever, ever get an ink, (which I would never), it would be this.
Ok. But no way will I ever get one, even if my parents would ever to allow me.

I have heard my friend’s child asking her, “Mummy, what is that?”, and my friend couldn’t answer.
She wished she didn’t get it. She didn’t want her child to follow her footsteps.

& she turned to me and said, “Never ever get a tattoo”
My friend? She is only 21, her child, is 3.

Screw you, Hotmail

2011-06-25T17:41:00.001+08:00

Yeah, screw you and whoever hacked my email!
I spent almost an hour resetting my password, over and over again but I still cant freaking log into my email.
ARGH.

& it seems like I have to create a new one and that sucks.
This email followed me since 7 or 8 years ago, and everything had been registered using this email.

All my contacts, all gone. WHAT IS THIS.
It is not my fault that I got hacked, and my password isn’t even easy to guess,
yet I can’t reset it???

Now I have to create a new one.
At times like this, with all the SIP/OSIP going on, I have to bloody reset my email.
Have to change all the resume information. And best, I sent the old email address to Wunderman.
Ok, pray hard they don’t send me anything these few days.

ARGH. So upset now. :’(

I like black, white & grey, and then I like colors,

2011-06-23T01:39:00.001+08:00

Close friends should know my closet has mainly black, white, brown and navy blue, & that’s it.
But I don’t know what got into me, I am starting to like colors.
I hope I am not affected by the whole color block trend, I really don’t want to be one of those girls who follow trends.

I went shopping with Shermeen yesterday at City Plaza and I got myself…
Disclaimer: I am not some rich girl, so everything I got are INSPIRED pieces.
It is, afterall the most I can get out of the money I have.

A dusty pink chino/harem pants. Yes, PINK.
It just caught my eye. But I was afraid I couldn’t pull it off, which I could, quite nicely actually. Haha.

A mustard shorts. Also another color that I have been wanting to try, but didn’t dare to.
I don’t know what got me so determined to get it yesterday. The one I got wasn’t scallop at the top though.

& one more black white shirt. No photo for that though, since it is just a random shirt I got at SGD10.
Hey, it is City Plaza afterall.

Today was a super awesome day.

Went out with Xiu Xian for the first time. Funny how we barely knew each other in secondary school.
We were not even hi-bye friends. We just knew each other’s existence because I was in Girl’s Brigade and he in boy’s.
I don’t even remember us being close when we came to poly. We are in the same church though, and we kind of click.

We, or rather I went shopping since we decided to hang out at Bugis, and it is weird how much things we can chat about.
Haha. He is a funny guy to hang out with. So anyway, shopping. And I got a great haul. Every single thing below $20 except my sandals.
I got a total of 5 items. All great loves.

I got a suede bucket bag at only $15.90, a sleeveless beige chiffon top, a black oversized chiffon top(I’m planning of matching it with my mustard shorts)
A white basic shirt, and finally my long awaited pair of sandals, but I don’t know how to describe my sandals, its not monk, not cage, not gladiator. Haha.
Ok, shopping never fail to make me happy! :D

We watched "Mr Poppers’ Penguin” after my shopping.

This show is SUPER FUNNY. I was laughing throughout the entire movie, and going “awww” at times.
It has family, love, friendship, and trust all in one movie. I swear, this is one show you should catch if you want a good laugh.
We all know penguins are cute, but honestly, this show brought “penguins are cute” to a whole new level. Haha.
Luckily Xiu Xian wanted to watch this! Haha.

Oh! And guess what! If you don’t follow my twitter, I got myself a TOMS inspired a few days back.
TOMS are crazy expensive, but really darn pretty, so I had to settle for the cheaper option.

I got mine from FourSkins though. Although it is inspired, it is still very very comfortable.
Colors option are little. Wanted the navy blue, but the nude one was easier to match.
I got one size smaller, but still very comfortable. So pretty! <3

And on the same day, I also got a bright orange top and a beige top. Haha.

I am officially poor and broke now. But I don’t care!

Ok, I enjoyed my day with Xiu Xian, I enjoyed my day with shopping.
Tomorrow is work day. GANBETTE!

a little humor to brighten this mundane blog,

2011-06-19T01:54:00.001+08:00

This is funny.
If you are asking, who is Mufasa, then obviously you have no childhood.

(It’s one of the character in one of the best cartoon every made!)

You are all that I need,

2011-06-14T04:01:00.001+08:00

I prayed it's not too late to save you from a broken heart, to promise you I'll make a brand new start.
Believe me, when I say, You are all that I need, the only treasure I seek, You’re the air that helps me breathe
through the darkest night.

No one’s far from perfect, like a child that needs a guiding hand, can you stay here with me?
I finally understand, you have always been the missing part, to complete the jigsaw puzzle of my heart.

Please let me hear your voice again, that whatever it takes, you’ll be there.

You are all that I need.

Have faith, have peace, have happiness, have love,

2011-06-11T14:36:00.001+08:00

Someone just sent me an email, a fellow Christian friend and it is said to be the 10 commandments of life, here is what is said:

1. Prayer is not a spare wheel that you pull out when in trouble, but it is a steering
wheel that directs the right path throughout.

2. So a car’s windshield is so large and the rear view mirror is so small?
Because our past is not as important as out future. So look ahead and move on.
Concentrate and focus ahead, always.

3. Friendship is like a BOOK. It takes few seconds to burn, but it takes years to write.

4. All things in life are temporary. If going well, enjoy it, they will not last forever.
If going wrong, don't worry, they can't last long either.

5. Old Friends are Gold! New Friends are Diamond! If you get a Diamond, don't forget the Gold!
Because to hold a Diamond, you always need a Base of Gold!

6. Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, GOD smiles from above and
says, "Relax, sweetheart, it's just a bend, not the end!"

7. When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities;
when GOD doesn't solve your problems HE has faith in your abilities.
(I LOVE THIS)

8. A blind person asked St. Anthony: "Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight?"
He replied: "Yes, losing your vision!"

9. When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them, and sometimes,
when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you.

10. WORRYING does not take away tomorrow's TROUBLES, it takes away today’s PEACE.

Isn’t this just so beautiful? :’)

keep your eyes on the lookout, you never know what’s lurking,

2011-06-09T02:44:00.001+08:00

Very tired. It’s 2:41am and I am only done with 3 screens of my portfolio.
Going to continue it with Yanting & Stella tomorrow.

I am liking my portfolio though. Minimalistic seems to be a success, finally.
My arm is aching. Only the left arm. Mummy thinks it is because I carry my laptop too much.
I know I should go to sleep, but let me watch my show before I get my eyes shut.

I had one of the weirdest dreams though, it so scary and so weird.
I wish it would never be a déjà vu. I would never want to see myself in that state in reality.

Sometimes I would wonder what is it like to be in a relationship again.
I was out with Kent yesterday and he was so excited about his new found love, seeing him grinning and acting like a little boy, telling me the wonders of the girl and how he felt loved like never before, he even read me his super long message he wrote to her, and they gave me the goose bumps and I can’t help but think back when I was the one who sent those super duper long messages, then I would look at him and think, was I like him in the past. That was when I realized, I have totally forgotten what it was like to be oh-so-in-love, I have forgotten what it was like to have someone special, but the thing was, I didn’t mind a bit. Ok, I do find that amazing.

On the other hand, I am sure that relationships and such commitments still scare me.

I am sure I am going to be late tomorrow.

Take a sharp turn and hit the brakes,

2011-06-06T00:45:00.001+08:00

Aye. I am actually worried about tomorrow.
I have no idea what are things going to be like. Sigh.
No good, no good.

I can only pray and hope for the best.

Oh Lord, when will the peaceful days be here again?

Finally done with Pee4’s proposal, so probably I should watch a show and have some sleep.
Proper sleep.

Everyday, it is as if living in a mine field, like you have to be careful in every step you take cause the wrong step may cause something to explode.
Silence was my way of showing that I cared, why must you join in this “party”?
You aren’t helping me, you know.

My best friend is home. I don’t know why, I feel really glad that she is. :)

Keep the keys together people!

2011-06-03T23:45:00.001+08:00

Went for a karaoke session with my high school friends yesterday.
Been such a long time since I did, and so much going on, a good singing session was a good avenue.

Sang some of the newest songs and some of the oldest songs. Haha.
It was fun, laughing and chatting though the food was a little off standard.

Ok, done with the chit chats, photos! :D
P/S: I think I have grown fatter. Yeah, sure right, eating McD’s like 2 or 3 times a week.

Specs belongs to Ah Pong.

And seriously ah, Ah Pong has such feminine features that I am starting to feel envious.
Makes me feel sad. :(

Spamming while Ah Pong was singing.

Ah Pong totally caught vanity in action. Haha.

With Evon.

With Ah Pong.

Ah yo, Ting ah, next time must take more photos, ok?

Ok. Last batch, group photos!

So, when’s next?
& I miss my best friend. :’(

the world is crazy, so be crazy too,

2011-06-02T01:37:00.001+08:00

I feel a little light-hearted at the moment.
Thank You God, for hearing my prayers.

Thank you, for tonight.

Take a deep breath and summon your courage, then lose it again

2011-05-30T00:35:00.001+08:00

This week, I am going to need a bucket load of courage.
Not a good thing.

I’m actually kind of afraid, kind of excited.
I want to be back in those busy days, when nothing but work, music, friends and this time, God meant everything.

It’s times like these when you know who are the ones who will always be with you.
& I regretted not caring for them enough but when I make a call, they will always be there.

Very guilty. But I love you all, you know who you are.

Ok. Gotta sleep, meeting a good friend of mine for a nice lunch tomorrow.
Yeah, this friend also falls into that category. :)

Sometimes you just want to run, then you realized, there is only so far you can,

2011-05-24T01:12:00.001+08:00

Boo!
Losing my blogging bug soon! Not a good sign! So here I am for a crap post!

Ok. CDI has officially officially started.
Spent the last weekend with Dawn and Min’Er trying to get the contents done because PJ had started railing.
Dawn was proud we managed to finish everything, and honestly, the site is looking great. Cross fingers that the coding won’t kill.
Must start planning for it now.

P4 has also and sadly, officially started.
Seems exciting in a way, but a part of it is a little sick about it.
Though there seem to be a lot of holiday in between.

And now I just realized that I do not have the font and images for the content that Dawn and Min’Er did.
Cannot do content flow. GG.

I have no idea why I am so tired today.
I went home straight after briefing just to sleep.

Ok. Shall catch a movie(?) and head to bed.
Hopefully, Teni & I can have lunch this coming Friday. :)
