Hello short fringe

2012-02-07T13:17:00.002+08:00

I finally snipped my fringe short again after don't know how many donkey years. Okay just exaggerating... But I really didn't cut my fringe short for the past one year and only trimmed it once!

So how's it? (:

My mind, it wanders

2012-02-06T23:30:00.001+08:00

"And sometimes there are no quotes, no songs, no pictures, not a thing to express how you feel. Just an empty heart and a heavy mind. A soul searching in the dark void and a weary body. That is what the night can bring, unshackled freedom or crushing defeat."

These days have been so exhausting that I almost forgot what a good rest really means. With just minimal hours of sleep (an average of just four hours per day) for the past few days, I should proudly say that I've survived. An achievement probably? Yes it is indeed. On a side note, I really have to buck up on my piano scales/appregios. It's definitely not easy especially when you feel like procrastinating but for a good grade, I'll persevere on for another month more! Till then, goodnight all lovelies!

Within it all

2012-02-03T23:58:00.001+08:00

A few random pictures taken during reina's 20th :>

The divided girls with the manager!

Divided chalet ended up as a mahjong session, drinking session, guitar and singing session, poker session, eating and bbq-ing session, throwing-people-in-the-pool session and etc. I literally spent most of my time there playing mahjong and not even eating much. However, I really had fun with them! Love them to bits <3 H&M divided ftw!!

Lighthouse

2012-02-02T00:20:00.003+08:00

You're the light in the dark
You're the seat in the park
You're the lighthouse
You're the lighthouse
That I need

You're the key to the door
You're the port in the storm
And I need to find a shore
When I can't swim anymore
You always guide me back to solid ground
You're my lighthouse

This song is so nostalgic and melancholy but I really love it alot.

On a happy note, it's divided chalet tomorrow! Yippee yay C:

Memory

2012-01-29T20:55:00.000+08:00

If you take a book with you on a journey…an odd thing happens. The book begins collecting your memories. And forever after you have only to open that book to be back where you first read it. It will all come into your mind with the very first words - the sights you saw in that place, what it smelled like, the ice cream you ate while you were reading it…yes, books are like flypaper, memories cling to the printed page better than anything else.

Shall do a quick reality check cause my eyes are too drained to even stare at the lappy now.

1. Done with all CA1 projects, starting on CA2 projects tomorrow or maybe even later.

2. Celebrated reina's 20th at medz last night and managed to catch up with some of them :>

3. Work is draining my energy away especially when it's A shift.

4. H&M divided chalet this coming thursday and friday which I'm very much looking forward to!

5. Gonna meet my secondary school girlfriends this coming friday as well yay!

A sea full of thoughts

2012-01-26T23:46:00.001+08:00

Here's to the night which my mind's filled with nothing but overflowing thoughts. Those thoughts make me fear, fear for the future, fear for every single thing that may happen anytime and anywhere. I've been wondering, how much can expectations change something or even someone, wondering if life would be different if you were to make another decision, wondering how much someone has to be hurt to get what they deserve in order to stay happy, wondering why are there so much weird logics and illogical facts in this vicious reality and the list goes on.

No, this isn't an emotional post. I don't think as much as I did in the past cause it's kinda pointless. Thinking isn't doing, so why not trying to make the best out of everything? In contradiction, who doesn't think, who doesn't wonder all the whats, whys and hows? But this is never-ending, really never-ending.

Can you understand? Someone, somewhere, can you understand me a little more, love me a little more? For all my despair, for all my ideals and for all that. But it is hard and I have so much, so very much to learn.

CNY

2012-01-26T15:44:00.000+08:00

Say hello to my cousin, ethan! I swear he's damn adorable!!! :D

As usual, cny days passed damn quickly and now I'm back on track, trying to complete all my projects which are dued next week. One side reminder for me, I need to stop oversleeping for school.

Winter getaway (Day five and six)

2012-01-21T18:20:00.000+08:00

When the clock striked twelve... happy birthday to victor!

Began day three at hong kong with a table full of dim sum! It was kinda disappointing that we didn't get to try one of the best dim sum restaurant as the queue was insanely long so we walked around to find another place to have it. Thumbs up for the custard buns and char siew baos!

Jellyfish aquarium was simply spectacular!

Peak tram, wax museum, bubba gump and sky terrace to end the third day in hong kong! :>

Went seperate ways with the guys on the last day as we wanted to get different things from different places. It was really rushed as we gotta catch a train in the evening back to guangzhou for our flight.

All in all, it was a great winter experience but hong kong wasn't as fun as I thought it'd be... maybe due to winter and thus wasn't able to shop much. I still wanna visit taiwan, probably soon, may hopefully!

Bottled passion

2012-01-21T16:39:00.000+08:00

Spent friday lazing in the room and snuggling on the comfy bed instead of heading out when it's TGIF. The reason why I'm cooping myself at home is partly due to self financial crisis after my winter getaway and as well as the overcrowding streets everywhere when everyone is shopping and buying new goodies for cny.

Anyway, just completed bottled passion in less than two days time. As usual, I'm a drama addict and I'll always have post drama syndrome after watching one. I'd say this is one of the best (heart-wrenching) shows I've never watched! Many thumbs up and if you have watched secret garden before, I'm sure you'll love this show even more.

Life is all about risks and it requires you to jump. Don't be a person who has to look back and wonder what they would have or could have had. No one waits forever. Treasure everyone around you and cherish every moment you have.

Blow a kiss, take it back

2012-01-19T22:43:00.001+08:00

I want, I want, I want, but that is crazy
I want, I want, I want, and that is not me
I want, I want, I want, to be loved by you

Winter getaway (Day four)

2012-01-18T23:55:00.001+08:00

The journey to the second day of hong kong began with an awesome meal at a random teahouse.

Gong zai mian! A kind of hong kong style noodles with luncheon meat, ham, sausages and egg. I really wish I can have some right now.

Ladies' street!

Savoury mango dessert with tang yuan and ice-cream after hours of shopping at mongkok! Thumbs up! (Y)

And finally last stop of the day, causeway bay!

Stay tuned for the next post cause it's gonna be a surprise :>

Winter getaway (Day three)

2012-01-17T22:56:00.000+08:00

Hong kong, here we come!

Took the high-speed train from guangzhou to hong kong!

A new friend made here, joyce! (:

Best cheese dumplings ever yummmmmz!

One of the best hong kong snacks, ji dan zai (egg waffles? It really tasted like waffles though)! It looks abit disgusting though because I've a phobia of a cluster of holes and this is an example of one. My goosebumps are literally popping out right now!!!

Avenue of stars, symphony of lights and tsim sha tsui to end the first night in hong kong (:

Sisters' day

2012-01-15T22:54:00.000+08:00

Loving my new birks, only costs me $70!! :>

Visited reina at mt sophia's flea in the super warm afternoon. Check out agnes' new bb housing and her fav leopard printz nails.

Lastly, astons for dinner! And last warning to sherwin, please stop acting shy because you're one of us, sisters (:

Winter getaway (Day two)

2012-01-14T23:35:00.001+08:00

Chimelong resort + shang xia jiu pedestrian road for the second day of guangzhou (which apparently was the last day). What appalled us was that our luggages were almost full just only after two days.

Turning in soon for early morning tomorrow, shall update about hong kong part tomorrow :> Goodnight all!

Winter getaway (Day one)

2012-01-12T23:15:00.000+08:00

Getting all ready to check in luggages to guangzhou!

Yay new boots for winter!

This is guangzhou's one-way train ticket (it's a green coin anyway if you didn't notice)!

Check out our awesome hotel! It's so gorgeous, just like some palace room hehe! :>

First shopping spot at zhengjia plaza! The mall is really huge and they have hundreds of stalls selling low end to high end products!

Trying to take a quick shot in a 7 degree celsius environment.

Visited beijing pedestrian road in the evening, roamed around, shopping and getting street snacks to eat. Sadly, weather wasn't on our side. It was drizzling and literally freezing cold! I was quite sure that the temperature dropped to at least 4 degrees celsius.

But on a very happy note, I found my fav snack, bing tang hu lu (candied haw in a stick)!!! Didn't get the traditional one because it sucks very much. Candied strawberries ftw! :B

That's all for day one at guangzhou, till then!

Warm singapore

2012-01-11T22:01:00.000+08:00

Hello earthlings! I'm finally back after a week of winter getaway and I promise I'll update about the trip asap after I get all the pictures, so stay tuned :>

Getaway

2012-01-04T12:56:00.000+08:00

As you can see, I failed to complete the 30 days of letters task. That's partly due to certain days which I don't know who to write for and what to write.

The long-awaited day has finally come! I'm flying off to guangzhou and hong kong in approximately 8 hours' time yay! :D I'll try my best to update this space if I get a chance to use it there, meanwhile I'm gonna post some songs that I like and listen to recently, hope y'all will like it! (:

Miss me x.

NYE

2012-01-01T21:27:00.001+08:00

Finally met my fav girls for lunch at cwp's manhattan fish market and managed to catch up with them, especially with angeline whom I haven't seen for almost a year!

Hehehe daphne's so adorable!

As usual, we cam-whored as and when we want, even in the washroom.

Steamboat + teppanyaki at my place with the usual clique who will come to my house yearly for NYE celebration.

UNO stacko to end off the night!

Anyway I've finally permed my hair. New hair for new year (: Does it look alright?

It's a new year so it's time for new hopes and new dreams. Have an awesome 2012 everyone (:

2012

2011-12-30T23:58:00.000+08:00

In a blink of an eye, another year is going to end again so here I'm going to make new year resolutions for 2012 in advance which I haven't done so for a few years?

1. Fair well for grade 6 piano practical, hopefully a high merit and I'll be more than happy.

2. Achieve good results for the last sem of the last sem in SIM and get a diploma cert.

3. Buy a violin and self-learn (I've been wanting to do so since I don't know when).

4. Work and save more money to step out of asia next year, somewhere that I'll experience snow.

5. Be less temperamental.

6. Be contented with what I've and that's when I'll be happier.

7. Lastly, hope for the best but expect the least.

Anyway, 2011 was actually quite a good year. Although there was a down moment but it wasn't the most upsetting period of time compared to the past few years. In fact, I was much carefree and happier. I've learned not to expect so much and that worrying is impractical. It's like why not make the most of what's going to happen instead of worrying what you can't change?

I'm really thankful to these people who are always there, my best friend and the secondary school girlfriends, spssc girlfriends and co, SIM girlfriends, juting and etc. Not forgetting that I've known a bunch of insanely fun and awesome people in H&M at the last quarter of 2011, y'all have definitely marked a great end to this year (:

What makes you beautiful

2011-12-29T18:51:00.001+08:00

Healthy monday

2011-12-26T23:43:00.000+08:00

Honey dessert buffet for high tea.

Soba dinner at nex.

It's definitely a simple and happy day spent with mom and sis <3

Xmas

2011-12-26T01:54:00.003+08:00

Spent xmas eve and xmas day itself working... yeah you guys must be wondering why would people wanna work during festive seasons but I'd get a higher pay if I work for both days, it's a combo. Sometimes I really do think that xmas is abit overrated? Like why can you only give/exchange gifts during this day and why not other days? Abit cliche isn't it?

Anyway, I finally managed to catch up with my dearest juting yesterday! (: And I just realized that we didn't take much pictures cause we were busy eating nonstop at nihon mura until we were so bloated and gave up. As usual, she'll stay-over at my crib and I'll crash almost immediately after I showered. We definitely must meet up soon again x.

Hope all of y'all had an enjoyable xmas day (:

Day 20 - A letter to the one who broke my heart

2011-12-23T21:20:00.001+08:00

Dear you, I don't know if I should be glad or still upset that you broke my heart. You, someone whom I trusted so much, way more than anyone else if you didn't know. You, someone whom I knew for years, actually broke my heart more than anyone else did. Although this had happened more than a year ago, I'd remember how heart-wrenching it was. You once asked me, 'Would you mind if I'm gonna be good friends with x?' I said, 'I don't mind' and you replied, 'If I were you, I'd mind.' I seriously didn't mind till the extent that you actually chose to hide everything away from me, so how will you feel if you're in my shoes? How will feel if someone you trusted so much for years actually chose to hide everything away from you? I know, you didn't do that on purpose and you're worried that I may be upset/angry but do you know what's worse? That's when I found out everything myself. I'm neither angry nor upset anymore, I don't dislike you but I can't bring myself to trust you again. To be friends all over again? Maybe. But I guess there's this part of me that never will.

Lazy wednesday

2011-12-21T21:35:00.002+08:00

Stayed home today and completed the whole series of forensic heroes 3! Hong kong shows always have awesome plots which are unpredictable and that's why I love them so much. Hopefully there'll be another season of this soon (:

Christmas is coming... but why don't I feel the joy of it?

Day 17 - A letter to someone from my childhood

2011-12-20T00:46:00.000+08:00

I remembered when I was only five or six then, I have this friend, a friend who was my childhood sweetheart. He's really adorable then, that I remembered vividly. The girls in the class would always surround him, probably I was the only exception. You wouldn't believe that I was really an introvet and I was just too shy to even talk to him. I remembered that there was once, he offered help to me when I was struggling with something (which I don't know what it was) and I was so damn happy. Well, the sad part of this is I couldn't remember his name, not even any clues of it but I remember his looks and which primary school he attended. Hopefully, I'll bump into him someday which hasn't been the case for around ten years when he almost got knocked down by my dad's car then.

Monday blues definitely, my grades totally caught me appalled and never did I expect that I'd be failing any modules especially macro econs. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise so I'll just study harder for two modules for the next two months. Sigh I know... but sometimes trying your very best wouldn't turn out best too.

Fleakout

2011-12-18T00:17:00.001+08:00

Dear maryann, you love to act shy. Hehehe.

Way too bored halfway through the flea.

See how happy this girl is when it's dinner time!

My gigantic bowl of ebi cheese curry udon which is actually not that filling!

Anyway fleakout wasn't as fabulous as I thought it will be. Management wise was pretty good but the crowd... abit ridiculous due to the rainy day, major sigh but at least I managed to cover the rental cost and earned abit which definitely can't be compared to three of my previous fleas but at least it's a simple saturday spent with maryann and not with the four walls and a lappy.

Time to get to bed and I needa wake up way earlier than usual for work cause there won't be any north-south line and east-west line services until 10am like argh?! Have an awesome sunday ahead everyone! (:

Hatched

2011-12-17T02:18:00.000+08:00

It's time for some iggy-eggies!

The well known sir benedicts are really thumbs-up! (Y)

@ Hatched for dinner!

@ Island creamery for ice-cream and desserts!

I swear I haven't felt this happy for quite sometime. Fiona just said, 'they are real'. Yes no doubts indeed, these girls are really real and true! That's why people always say, we'll usually make the best of friends during secondary school days (: I'm already thinking of what to do when we meet the next time... probably picnic or a slumber party sounds pretty awesome isn't it? :D

Anyway, shall end this post with my fav (hilarious) picture of the day...

Love you girls very much xoxo!

Anyway, do drop by home club tomorrow for fleakout flea event! Goodbye! (:

Sick and tired of being sick and tired

2011-12-14T23:34:00.003+08:00

I'm sick and tired of being so stressed and always worrying about something. I never get a break from everything and I can't handle all these just by myself. What will you do if you regret a decision? I hate it when I've to make a decision, when I've to make a choice and when I may regret it one day, realizing that it's a huge mistake... then what am I supposed to do? To think life's that easy then, I'm so mistaken now.

No. I'm gonna swallow all these now.

Day 10 - A letter to someone I don't talk to as much as I'd like to

2011-12-13T22:53:00.003+08:00

Dear you, I can't put this into words. I typed and I backspaced, typed again and backspaced again, thinking of what to write to you. You - probably someone whom I've never thought I'd miss when we didn't talk anymore. Just when I realized that we stopped chatting for that few months, it reminded me of how close we were in the past. We could joke, laugh and disturb each other like we don't have to apologize even if we used the most unglam words. You were always there until that period when we started to drift apart and became distant. You understood me like no one else does, or rather I'm amazed that you could read me. When I'm feeling down, you know it instantly without me telling you, you could feel it. However everything is different now. Although we still chat now, it's just not the same. I often wonder if all these happen for a reason, wonder if I could have a time machine to remake a decision and that things will not be like now... distant. I want to talk to you, wholeheartedly. I want to talk to you as much as before because you're someone I treasure, very much.

P.S: I've skipped some days for the letter as I've no idea of what to write so 20 letters more to go, hopefully I'll be able to accomplish it. So stay tuned!

People help the people

2011-12-12T21:01:00.003+08:00

People help the people
And if you're homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it
People help the people
And nothing will drag you down

Day 7 - A letter to my ex boyfriend(s)

2011-12-10T21:53:00.003+08:00

Here's a letter for each one of you who had made a mark in my life.

Dear first ex, I'm sorry I've hurt you (about four to five years back). You were my first love, my first boyfriend. You're the first guy who ever held my hand, first guy who ever hugged me and the first guy who ever kissed me. You'll always come to my class to talk to me once you reached school every morning before assembly and sometimes you'll even buy snacks for me. I'll never forget that once, you bought some snacks for me and secretly put it inside my bag and I was so shocked when I opened my bag during lesson time! You're also the first and only guy that my dad caught holding hands with and I 'ran away' from home, fearing that I'll get caned. I was only 14 then and it was obviously damn scary when my dad's face was as black as justice bao! You're the first guy I've spent valentine's day with (okay actually not exactly) but more of like the first guy who gave me a valentine's day present. Eight months of relationship ended because I've hurt you, I fell for another guy. I know I'm a bitch then but feelings is really hard to be controlled (and this only happened once, there's no second time!). I'm still very sorry but very thankful too because you're still a good friend now, okay more like a brother (:

Dear second ex, I gave up the first for you despite knowing that you're his friend. The first four months of relationship with you in 2007 and another four months relationship in 2008 after breaking up for a year were more like a hell than heaven. It took me almost another year to fully get over you. You wouldn't know how much you meant to me last time (but probably you do). Each time when something reminds me of you, I'd feel so foolish. So foolish of how much I've forked out, how much I've liked you, how much I've cared for you, how much I've always been giving in to you, how much I've been so disappointed and upset, how much tears that I've shed, how much I've struggled through and that I'll never know how much I meant to you in the past, not until now too but it doesn't matter anymore because I know we're world apart. I'm still thankful though. Because of you, I grew up and most importantly I've learnt so much.

Dear third ex, you appeared in my life in 2007 after the first break-up with my second. I really hated you because you played with my feelings. I was merely a rebound and you treated me like a princess to try to get over your ex-girlfriend. I've no idea what's wrong with me then to help patching both of you up after breaking up with you but it was a right choice because you'll never be someone I'll choose right now. Nevertheless, thank you for all the memories during those two months, I really felt like I'm a princess but there's always a day that I need to up from the sweet nightmare.

Dear last ex, I really don't regard you as my ex-boyfriend because you were just part of my life for a month and I doubt it was a serious one. Yes you've hurt me, more than anyone else does because you're the reason why I've lost a four years good friend, someone whom I used to trust so much and confided everything to. I wasn't jealous but upset that my good friend actually chose not to tell me anything about it. Some people are right, I shouldn't be feeling that way but you guys just wouldn't know how depressing it was when someone you trusted so much did this to you. Maybe you should try standing in my shoes and get a bite of it. I don't dislike you but dislike myself for knowing you. It was the biggest mistake in my life, at least till now, it still is. I'm glad I've seen your true colours and that it was merely a short while. Because of you, my guards are all up. Well and I guess you'll probably be a stranger to me for the rest of my life.

A past will always be a past, I've no regrets and I'll still be looking forward to the future because I know it'll be much better than all these (:

Wonders of the world

2011-12-10T19:50:00.003+08:00

Places that I wanna visit within ten years from now.

San francisco.

Switzerland.

Venice.

Hokkaido.

Harbin.

Rome.

Orlando, new york.

Sydney.

Actually there are more but it's quite impossible to list down all. It's a bliss to be able to travel. I actually don't mind backpacking for a year or so, anyone up for it with me?

Day 5 - My dreams

2011-12-08T23:11:00.005+08:00

Dreams, who doesn't have?

I'm dreamer and I've plenty of them.

I've dreamed of becoming a musician because I've a strong passion for music. Well piano is my forte and I could easily learn other musical instruments.

I've dreamed of becoming a pastry chef or a baker because I love sweet treats! Then I've dreamed of opening a cafe, not to earn big bucks but to be able to share the love of my own pastries and cakes. It's really beyond happiness.

I've dreamed of becoming an air stewardess. Although I'm short but I think I'm able to make it if I want to? Well I love to travel alot, to alot of different places. Singapore is just way too boring, agree?

I've dreamed of becoming an interior designer. When I was a child, I would scribble floor plans but obviously I failed when I took up interior design course in poly and withdrew halfway through.

I've dreamed of falling in love with someone, someone who loves me for who I'm, someone who will bring me to awesome places in this world, someone who will make breakfast for me, someone who will take care of me when I'm sick, someone who will surprise me with my favourite flowers (sigh I haven't received any before), someone who's simple and lovely.

I've dreamed of so many things but will they, not all but some, come true?

Day 4 - To my sister

2011-12-07T19:37:00.003+08:00

Dear sister, we've been sleeping in the same room for the past 17 years. You're really a good sister beside the fact that you will take my things without permission which would really piss me off, but overall, you'll be the one who'll listen to my complaints or happy news or it can just be anything. I love how we could chit-chat for hours at night from nothing to everything. Probably you're just two years younger than me and that you're a girl too and that's why you will somehow understand me. Thank you for being such a great sister <3

Okay, even though exams are over but life's still a bore because most of my friends are still having exams! ): So I have been working, staying home, working again, staying home again and still working and home afterwards like almost everyday. Guess I really need to get an interesting life soon and the reason for this mundane routine is because I'm saving up for my getaway in jan (just fyi, I'm paying every single cents myself)!!

Christmas and new year are coming but I'm not really looking forward to it, maybe cause I feel that both days are probably just another two days. Singapore is so small and if you're gonna celebrate both festive seasons out, especially at town area, then it's gonna be so lunatic. I definitely won't be able to stand the sardine-packed places. Oh well, shall see how things go. Till then, goodbye :>

Day 3 - To my parents

2011-12-06T22:16:00.002+08:00

Dear parents, thank you for giving me a chance to live in this world. Although life isn't always wonderful, but it has taught me alot. Without both of you, I won't be who I'm now. Thank you for all the love that both of you have given me and I'm sorry for being rude at times. All and all, both of you are two of the most important people in my life <3

Day 2 - To my crush

2011-12-05T20:52:00.003+08:00

Dear crush, you're invisible. You do not exist in my world right now but somehow I hope you do. It gives me an excitement, an adrenaline rush which will probably make me happy but yet disappointed if I do expect something. Well if you do exist someday, I hope you'll be a beautiful one.

Day 1 - To my best friend

2011-12-04T23:32:00.004+08:00

In a lifetime, we often have many friends which we'd usually classify into - acquaintances, normal friends, good friends and best friend(s). Well, who says each person can only have one best friend? Best friend is just a term, isn't it? I personally feel best friend is a genuine true friend, someone who'll always be there for you no matter whatever happens, someone whom you'll never drift apart with even if she/he doesn't meet up with you frequently, someone who truly cares for you and definitely someone who doesn't judge you.

Here's a letter for my two best friends.

Dear best friend one, you're the only one that I've always regarded as my bff. Our birthdays are five days apart and this is why we always celebrate our birthdays together every year. It's quite ridiculous how we became bff cause we used to be 'enemies' when we were younger but due to certain circumstances, things gradually changed. We could really understand each other, be there for each other no matter what had happened in the past and that was when I knew you're really true to me. It has been six years since the day I've known you, somehow I had the intuition that you'd become my best friend from the first day I saw you (I've never told you that before). Even though we meet up once every few months or so, I can always open up to you anytime I'm feeling down and you'll always be a very good listener and adviser. You're probably the best out of the best, cause we have never ever quarreled or had any arguments after we've become best friends. Y'know, I treasure this friendship alot and that I love you alot too <3

Dear best friend two, we've never ever mentioned each other as each other's best friend but you're the only one whom I've known for ten years. We share alot of common interests - from watching drama series to shopping to eating all savory food and desserts to endless gossips and catching ups to many many more. You're always the listener and I'm always the story-teller and you'd always say the same thing to me, 'michelle, your life can really be written into a novel'. You'd know every bits and pieces of my life even though we meet up once every few months as well. Guess the reason why I've regarded you as a best friend is that you're my favourite drama-buddy, favourite food-buddy, favourite shopping-buddy, favourite stayover-buddy and etc. I love you alot too, as well <3

Goodbye exam!

2011-12-03T22:46:00.002+08:00

Today's the long-awaited day since I don't know when!! I'm so so so glad that this diploma course has come to an end... but that's if my hard work has paid off this time and that I can pass all my modules then I'm gonna graduate yayyyyyyyyy! Meanwhile, I'm gonna enjoy my (7 months) holiday to the fullest before enrolling myself in a degree course :D

Pardon me, I still wanna emphasize that EXAM'S OVERRRRRRRRRRR!!!

Dear you

2011-12-02T00:49:00.008+08:00

You wouldn't know.

You'll never know.

It felt so real.

It was amorous.

It lingered on.

Hello december

2011-12-01T22:31:00.004+08:00

Another month has just passed in the blink of an eye, another year will be ending soon as well. Time flies fast, isn't it? Well it does.

Anyway, I've survived three papers in two consecutive days. Hope that my hard work will be paid off and that I can graduate after this sem! Shall do the last sprint of studying for macro in awhile and I'll do up a wish list and to-buy-list soon after the last paper! (Lots of things in mind to get!!)

All the best to those who are having exams this week/next week! (:

Loots for good

2011-11-29T23:24:00.002+08:00

More colourful wristlets! :>

Kfc for late lunch (told ya, I've this mad appetite for fast food during exam period) sigh.

Peanut butter cups finally! Haven't had that for months!

Some random facial and eye-care products.

Always saving the best for the last, H&M's exclusive staff sales today! Headed to town just to 'shop' for half an hour. Okay, it's more like digging the garments from boxes but each piece costs only $4, yessssss it's that cheap! :D Sadly, each person is only entitled to purchase five pieces. (Totally unfair that the second batch of colleagues who went shop are entitled to purchase more than five!) But it's okay, good enough hehe!

This versace dress is definitely the most worth it among all that I've gotten. The original price is $249 and I got it with just $4! Just that it's a little long, gonna ask my mom to taper it shorter when she's free!

On a very very very sad note now, I'll be having the first paper tomorrow - business law. Wish me luck, really.

Sigh

2011-11-28T23:29:00.003+08:00

Here I'm, taking a break (okay not actually a break cause I haven't really studied today). I can't wait to bid goodbye to business law, information systems for business and both micro and macro econs. Swear I dislike econs more than anything else!!! Okay michelle, you can do it.

Study date

2011-11-27T20:28:00.005+08:00

Saturday night spent with maryann, popeyes for dinner and studying session at drive thru mac. Just imagine how much fats I'll gain after exams, fast food almost every single day. My lecture notes are calling me again, till then!

Overwrought

2011-11-25T23:49:00.003+08:00

5 days to the first paper, 8 days to the end of torture.

Pardon me for this mundane space. I've no time, no inspiration, no pictures, nothing to update because I've been busy working and mugging. Lifeless much, I know. Simply can't wait to get over this, just for the one last time. Wish me all the best!

Yes/no?

2011-11-23T22:52:00.000+08:00

Should I curl my hair? Give me comments please!!

I try

2011-11-22T23:06:00.002+08:00

Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near

It's harder to be the one who leaves

2011-11-21T20:03:00.006+08:00

Like any other days, I'd do the routine, typing that few words to my favourite web - thoughtcatalog, a home for sentiments, feelings, theorom, etc. However, unlike any other days, I could really relate to this piece.

"It’s hard to be the one who stays, so says The Time Traveler’s Wife.

I empathize. I have pined for the unrequited, crawled on broken glass to fix a broken dream and lived a good portion of my teenage years willing a boy to change his mind and come back. There is nothing dignified about the quick fall or slow climb back up; being unable to accept reality nor displaying your battered heart on your sleeve. It is not romantic and hardly noble. It is embarrassing having to publicly piece yourself together, pick up your shame and if all else fails, grab the last cabin of a train and pray no one spots the swollen eyes. Worst of all, it is all degrees of tiring being kept awake by pure yearning and longing.

But it’s harder to be the one who leaves.

Because if your smart decision doesn’t work out the way you have played it out in your head a million and one times, you have no one to blame but yourself. No ‘but he hurt me’ to use as an excuse for lying in bed all day. No warped reassurance of knowing that you always have an outlet to assign all blame for your total misery anyway. You did this to yourself; made your bed to lie in – what’s your excuse?

No one mentions the heartbreakers because there is obviously a clear divide between the ones who break hearts and the ones who get broken. (Except it’s not so simple.) No one talks about how they lie awake in the middle of the night, questioning whether they made the right decision, finally falling asleep from mental exhaustion but with no answers, because no one thinks they have any right to complain. No one asks whether they’re fine, because why should they be anything but good? No one talks about the nonchalant face they have to put up, pretending that breaking hearts and dreams is something that came easy. No one wonders whether it hurts as bad to walk away than to be left behind because no one believes it should be painful. At all.

I don’t condone trampling all over an unsuspecting heart and then leaving it for road kill. But in comparison to its counterpart, staying is easy. You cry, you dwell, you fall repeatedly, you eventually get up and get better. Leaving takes courage; it is a one-way ticket for a flight that leaves no room for regrets or second guesses."

Furniture therapy

2011-11-20T22:26:00.002+08:00

This sunday was spent fruitfully with my mom and sis despite having to work in the morning shift. What's worse was that H&M cut my hours again but it was a blessing in disguise, I must say. Basically I opened an OCBC account today and will be getting a frank card - a debit card with fabulous design, popped by scape flea, met my sis for some retail therapy and off we went to meet mom at ikea!

Truthfully, I really haven't had such a wonderful sunday for ages, especially catching up with my closest kins (: Oh and I almost forgot to mention, my sis and I are gonna revamp our room soon (hopefully asap) yippee yay!!

The very best of versace

2011-11-17T23:37:00.007+08:00

Here's to the long-awaited day for versace lovers!

We have colourful leopard prints! That's our fav group picture anyway :>

Hi nico, you've split personality.

Goodbye ken, our japan supporter. Hope to see you soon again!

Dada and yiting!

All of us actually sneaked in and out of the pantry to take pictures. Now we all know that all of us love to cam-whore especially with leopard prints shirt, okay just kidding! Though it was a tiring day, I had a great time working with all my wonderful colleagues today C:

A letter to my nose

2011-11-16T23:01:00.004+08:00

Dear nose, please be kind to me and stop throwing tantrums. I wouldn't know what to do if you continue to have 'periods' cause there's no such thing as nose-pads or nose-tampons. You showed my attitude once during work and once when I reached home and I'd really appreciate it if you won't bleed again else I may die of insufficient blood soon. Sincerely, your sickly owner.

-

Anyway, do help to me to click the nuffnang ad at the left hand side/the bottom of this space tyvm :>

Sweet treat

2011-11-15T20:31:00.005+08:00

A girl like me who can't get enough of all these savouring desserts. Do you fancy them as well?

It'd be perfect if I can have some right now.

Skinny love

2011-11-12T22:08:00.002+08:00

Come on skinny love what happened here
Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split

Just for a moment

2011-11-11T22:19:00.005+08:00

Friday is usually a day which people will anticipate. Well it probably doesn't apply much to me or rather maybe it does cause it's a stay home day. I could just laze on my bed, read up some chic magazine, stare into space and day-dream, do some online shopping, fall asleep anytime in the day, pick some shows to kill time and definitely, I need to start my revision real soon. I don't have to face the reality just for today, having some time for myself - alone and peaceful. Maybe, it's a norm and I'm numbed cause somehow I knew, no matter how much I wish, they don't exist and sadness is still inevitable.

Shoo

2011-11-09T00:37:00.000+08:00

Dear fats, I'd appreciate if you can just go away ):

Masked

2011-11-06T22:20:00.002+08:00

Check out the new pyjamas my mom bought at xiamen for me! Pardon me if I've scared you at this hour (muahahahaha). My dark eye rings have proven that I desperately need to apply a mask. Another early morning for work later so I shall be a good girl and try to turn in soon! Goodnight all!

Happy birthday joshua!

2011-11-06T20:18:00.003+08:00

Watami jap restuarant for lunch, studio m for joshua's birthday surprise, decorations done by lilin, darren and I, chilled at the studio's room, those tardy kings and queens came much later, left the place during the dusk and late dinner + supper at JB sum up my saturday :>

Goodbye projects

2011-11-04T00:00:00.002+08:00

Today marks the last day of projects submission which is also the last day of me needing to do projects for this course yippee! I'm really looking forward to the long holiday which is in a month's time! :>

Pardon me for this mundane space cause I've been cooped up with projects, work, projects again, work again and etc. Nevertheless this weekend will be fulfilling so stay tuned!

I hate projects

2011-11-03T00:32:00.000+08:00

Hang in there michelle, just one more project to go.

Tight grip on reality

2011-10-31T16:36:00.002+08:00

It's such a dreadful thing to wake up at seven for school every morning from monday to saturday. My attendance is definitely getting worse as compared to all the previous sems. I've been telling myself it's the final sem and I just need to persevere on for another few more weeks to bid goodbye to studies for seven months or so but motivation just doesn't want to kick in. How... I really dislike this last phase ):

Love is a pot brownie

2011-10-31T00:09:00.003+08:00

Love is a pot brownie ‘cause the prospect of it excites you. It’s hard to find and it’s been so long since you tasted it last. All this time, you’ve been getting by on quick fixes – the one night stands and the spliffs. And they’re good for temporary relief but don’t you want the real thing, now? The thing that lasts for hours, the thing that lasts for years. When the prospect of it comes up, you’re equal parts nervous and hopeful; nervous ‘cause it’s the closest to comatose you’ve ever come but hopeful ‘cause you want it to work this time. Will it work this time?

Love is a pot brownie. To create it takes elbow grease and patience and if you keep too close a watch over it, time will feel infinite in all the wrong ways. You have to walk away, get some air, let it breathe. You have to stir it occasionally, gently or violently but never let it sit idle or the thing will settle, it will burn.

Love is a pot brownie. It takes you to another place, one where the music swells just right and the time doesn’t pass. It takes you to eight hours later, when you’re waking up clouded and wondering how and where and why. You’ll hear words no one has spoken and you’ll think thoughts you never knew you were capable of. You will feel like a piece of artwork or a piece of work-work, like something only a discerning eye could make sense of. You will be more right than you know.

Love is a pot brownie ‘cause it can leave a bad taste in your mouth. Sometimes it’s gritty, punishing, hard to swallow. Sometimes, it plain doesn’t work, even after you’ve done your best, followed all of the rules. It’s disappointing, when that happens. But other times, it’s tender and falls apart in your mouth; sometimes it works like magic. It may have been all wrong before, but this time it suits your taste buds, your senses approve. You will always be taken aback by how good it can be. You have a few bad experiences and it’s easy to forget how good it can be.

Love is a pot brownie. It’s a recipe you want to perfect. Friends and strangers will give you their hand-me-downs, their words of wisdom and their handwritten notes. This is what works, they’ll say, and you’ll say no, this is what works for you. You’ll try one recipe after another, and when you become frustrated enough you’ll trade rules for risk, you’ll eyeball it because you’re convinced it’s the only way to find the winning combination, the perfect blend. After some trial and error, you’ll taste the batter; you’ll taste his mouth and know that every ingredient is balanced, every note is on key. When you find the perfect recipe you’ll memorize it by heart ‘cause you’ve never been so high, high, high.

- Stephanie Georgopulos

Mini batam getaway

2011-10-29T00:16:00.008+08:00

Pictures do speak louder than words at times.

Look at how tired we were with only minimum hours of sleep.

Mosquitoes do love my blood alot.

Baby sharks and they are really huge!!

At batam's miniature park!

Managed to capture at my first shot!

And I had to jump alot of times until mel could capture this.

She loves giving this kinda faces, preparing for halloween.

Bistro godiva for tea time after shopping!

Batam is kinda boring actually, I wouldn't wanna go there again. And yes, self-proclaimed holiday tomorrow so I shall catch up on new my fair princess now! Till then xoxo.

Pretty little things

2011-10-25T23:58:00.003+08:00

Only if there's winter in singapore, I could buy all these beautiful knitwears, mittens, beanies, trench coats and etc!

Sunday happiness, monday blues

2011-10-24T21:05:00.004+08:00

Impromptu dinner/supper at JB last night with mel, victor and gerard! Had baby kailan, cereal prawns, deer meat (for them, not me) and of course savouring black pepper + egg yolk crabs! I almost died eating the black pepper as it was damn spicy and ended up ordering another egg yolk crab.

Victor then drove us around JB to find dessert but we know it's impossible because it's almost at wee hours so we ended up at a petrol kiosk to buy some snacks and ice-cream before heading to have the car washed. And while waiting for the car to be washed, we ate again. Lok lok this time, a road side finger food stall, something like BBQ food? I didn't want to eat at first but it smells so good that I tried and couldn't stop eating!

Looking forward to another JB trip again and not forgetting to mention that I'm going to guangzhou and hong kong with them during beginning of jan! My dear mom allowed me to go, love her to bits! <3

Back to where I used to be

2011-10-21T23:57:00.003+08:00

Made a trip back to SP to have lunch with lilin and the guys as well as to meet up with some of my girlfriends :> Apparently, I still managed to see quite a number of familiar faces despite only knowing the year 3s and not much of the juniors.

Eunice, my ice-cream buddy and I miss her so much!

I've no idea why lilin kept laughing at this picture hmm.

It wasn't meant to be focusing on the sticky but er-hem winks (;

Failed and super-exposed pin hole effect with reina.

To sum up, I'm still feeling glad that I've seen jasper (my gemini bro, inside story/joke)! And as always, I'd usually have stories to share but he was blown out by the fact that I didn't have any this time round. Well, just wait for that special day - only a minority get what I mean.

That's about it, stay stuned! (:

):

2011-10-20T21:36:00.002+08:00

H&M has been cutting the hours of the part-timers thus I'm working lesser sigh ): I don't know if I should be feeling glad or sad, glad - more time to rest and study but sad - I'm supporting myself and with this kinda working hours, I'm definitely not gonna earn much.

I need another second job.

Lately I've been wishing

2011-10-17T22:09:00.002+08:00

It's only the third week of the last school semester and my motivation of studying has already died off. Sometimes I really wish fictional stories do come true (yeah right, what a wishful thinking). This is what happened when I insanely completed three drama series within a week and that was a total of 120 episodes!

Wish me all the best to complete eight projects within the next two weeks. Till then goodnight all!

Old good memories

2011-10-15T18:44:00.006+08:00

These memories flashed into my mind this noon while I was thinking about traveling. Indeed it was one of the most unforgettable moments during the secondary school days - overseas learning trip '06 to yunnan.

After reading miss ang's blog, I could remember vividly how we spent a week over there, traveling from kunming to diqing to shangri-la to lijiang to kunming and finally back to singapore, spending my very first winter experience with thirty-two students and six teachers, having to wear layers after layers of clothes which made all of us look like big round balls, trying to get use to the spicy and oily food there which was a torturous thing for me as I couldn't take any kind of spicy food, getting to teach english to the students of a rather rural school at shangri-la, visiting lots of the places of interests in yunnan - lijing old town, tiger leaping gorge, jade dragon snow mountain, etc etc.

Five years had just passed in a blink of an eye, these are the memories that will keep our hearts warm for a lifetime (:

The last time you fall in love with someone

2011-10-12T20:09:00.003+08:00

The last time you fall in love with someone, you won't know it will be the last. Or maybe you will. People often say things like, 'I knew this was the person I was going to spend the rest of my life with!' but do they really?

The last time you fall in love with someone might also be the first. It's rare but it happens.

The last time you fall in love with someone could happen when you're 17 or 29 or 37 or 80 years old. You never know who you're going to meet, fall in love with, fall out of love with, and ultimately die with. It's something we will never know until the day we pass away, which is strange to think about. We have this image of the last person we love being that someone we marry and getting old and gray with them. But since we have no control over when we die, it could be whoever.

The light

2011-10-09T22:16:00.003+08:00

In the morning it comes
Heaven sent a hurricane
Not a trace of the sun
But I don't even run from the rain

Fat die us

2011-10-08T22:29:00.004+08:00

Two consecutive days of massive food indulgence - seoul garden dinner buffet and zhou's kitchen high tea buffet! Not to forget, a pint of b&j's ice-cream each for us in the middle of the night when juting stayed over my crib to catch our fav vampire diaries episode four!

Anyway my sis is back from her mini genting + KL getaway with her friends and she got me a faceshop mascara (which wasn't black colour and that she didn't know that, how blur can she get) and my fav peanut candy as well! Thanks sissy <3

Head for the skyline

2011-10-06T22:40:00.002+08:00

Back from my hectic school + work days... I feel so drained and worn out ): And no if you think I can get a good rest cause my school starts at 8.30 every morning and I gotta force myself and drag my feet out of bed at 7 everyday! Sunday's definitely not an exception due to morning shift at work. All these explained why I can doze off a few times during lectures.

On a much happier note, I'm not working for the next two days yippee and finally gonna meet up with my awesome girl tomorrow! Time for some awesome comfort food + retail therapy tomorrow C:

Catch my heart

2011-10-04T22:47:00.002+08:00

A very sweet video and love stories do happen everyday.

So... where's mine?

Goodbye holiday

2011-10-02T20:35:00.005+08:00

Baking cookies at my crib with the bkk clique last friday! I swear I really don't like the packing up part, the worst part of baking seriously.

Space he11 flea @ scape's yesterday!

So cute right! Bang.

Pardon my super duper sweaty face cause it was so stuffy inside that all of us couldn't stop perspiring. And anyway, check out my height! I'm finally not the shortest hehehe :>

Dinner at old town white coffee, having my fav ipoh hor fun! :D

Winks (;

A month of holiday just passed in another blink of an eye, I'm totally not looking forward to school but well it's the last sem, I'll give it my best shot. And dear econs (both micro and macro), please be kind to me although I really don't like you.

Till then, goodbye x.

Support us!

2011-09-30T21:54:00.003+08:00

It has been ages since agnes and I had a flea booth so if you're free tomorrow, please drop by at scape for space he11 flea! See y'all xoxo C:

I wanna

2011-09-28T23:04:00.003+08:00

Some self-loving time on monday hehe :>

But can you hear me say?
Don't throw me away
And there's no way out
I gotta hold you somehow

The food & wine people

2011-09-26T23:57:00.005+08:00

My very first fine dining with my dearest girl, lilin but got a shock when I reached there cause I didn't know that sherwin will be joining us. Didn't capture much pictures of the food due to weird lightings of my camera but the ambience of the restaurant is really wonderful, definitely an great place to chill (:

So sweeeeeeet!

Sherwin kept saying this, 'michelle your face maintain please'.

Finally a decent picture <3

Goodnight earthlings and have a nice day ahead! (:

Indeed

2011-09-25T21:17:00.004+08:00

How do you define whether you're really in love? People said, there's no definition when you're in love, there's no reason to why you're in love, you can't possibly explain it. I agree but how do you really know whether you're really in love? I've come to realize that everyone is actually everyone's rebound. Everyone somehow needs someone else to completely get over one or rather the memories, whether it's unintentional or vice versa. This is the cruel truth but not a harsh fact because I believe people fall in love in between that. You may be in love with even a rebound whom you don't even know that you've treated one as. How ludicrous can all these get? But face it, suck it up, there are definitely more for us to realize in this callous reality.

Just fyi, that was just my random thoughts (not refering to any particular one).

Back on track, my holiday is just as expected, not that exciting besides retail therapy which I miss alot. It's the cycle of working, having piano lessons, chilling out with friends, a teeny weeny bit of shopping (cause I'm pretty broke right now sigh) and yes nonstop of drama series. Oh and I just did facial today which means it's another stay home day tomorrow. Vampire diaries is calling me, till then x.

Every breath

2011-09-24T23:29:00.002+08:00

It sounds like this is nothing new and that it hasn't been for awhile
You wake up on the other side and you strain to force a smile
The fairytale inside your head has become your new best friend
But I can assure you, that I'll be there before the story ends

Longest night

2011-09-23T23:33:00.002+08:00

It's enough, just to find love
It's the only thing to be sure of
So hard, to let go of
A thousand times or more

Happy tummy and satisfying loots

2011-09-21T23:57:00.003+08:00

Soup spoon for late lunch :>

First stop at haji lane to shop but to no avail cause the garments are quite pricey although some are really very pretty ):

Dinner at some hong kong cafe at iluma!

As usual, ending the day with yummy-licious crepes! So sinful but I really do have an ultra sweet tooth.

That's all for today, my eyes are shutting. Goodnight all!

Muddle-head

2011-09-20T22:22:00.002+08:00

I CAN REALLY BANG MY HEAD ON THE WALL RIGHT NOW DUE TO MY CARELESSNESS! HOW COULD SOMEONE TRANSFER FUNDS TO THE WRONG ACCOUNT? BUT THERE'S ONE EXCEPTION AND THAT'S ME! FML TTM ): 55 BUCKS AIN'T A SMALL AMOUNT, AIN'T A SMALL AMOUNT TO ME AT LEAST. I REALLY DO HOPE POSB WILL BE ABLE TO HELP ME OUT TOMORROW ELSE I REALLY CAN BANG THE WALL AND SUCK MY THUMB! ):

Do they?

2011-09-18T23:48:00.002+08:00

"I wonder how boys feel when they are in love. Do they get butterflies? Do they have you on their mind 24/7? Do they wait for you to come online for hours? Do they smile at random times at the thought of you? Do they miss you all the time? Do they?"

Down the road

2011-09-16T22:15:00.003+08:00

Today, my mind's loaded with this question:

What should I pursue after graduating (in around three months' time)? To further business management studies in UOL and will be able to continue with my piano plans or to take up hotel & events management in IMI which I'll get to study and attached to switzerland for a year and will have to stop learning piano again.

Sigh I don't like choices, I don't like to choose especially when there are pros and cons in both standpoints. How, what should I do? ):

Sinful thursday

2011-09-15T23:23:00.004+08:00

Meeting juting for seoul garden supposedly but she wasn't feeling well this morning so sigh, I can only meet her next week. Miss her so much and I've stories for her again (as usual)!

Impromptu day out with lilin and sherwin instead (: I swear I needa stop pampering myself with all the comfort food. Starting healthy diet tomorrow, for sure plus chop.

Yay ice-cream yummy!

So sweet right, winks! (;

Baby crayfish pasta with oyster sauce (requested)!

Salmon yuzu pasta!

Seafood aglio olio!

Ending the day with raspberry cheescake parfait!

Now you gotta agree how sinful all these food are and if only we can never grow sideways for over-indulging, what a wishful thinking. Okay dokay, time to turn in and I don't know how the hell I can pull myself out of bed in five hours' time!

Superfatted day

2011-09-15T01:42:00.005+08:00

Shopping date with maryann and mel turned out to be another fattening day cause we didn't shop as much as we ate!

Charlie brown cafe for lunch! American breakfast ftw :B

Toby's the dessert asylum for dinner!

And yet I forgot to capture the image of the heavenly oreo cheesecake w/ mocha and almond ice-cream! All thumbs up for that! (Y)

BKK DAY THREE AND FOUR

2011-09-15T00:38:00.008+08:00

Mac for breakfast at MBK on the third day!

Agnes insisted to take picture with ronald mcdonald cause that's what tourists will do.

New iphone cover for me and bb housing for agnes! :D

We're literally trying to figure out where to shop while waiting for the guys. Oh the guys came to bkk for a day before leaving to chiangmai in the evening!

Pictures with the red wall, we all love it! :>

The guys - darren, chee hwee, shawn, wilson, zhiyu and claudius!

And the girls - myself, lilin, agnes and reina!

Dinner at platinum before continuing shopping for the last day. I know it's damn mad to shop at platinum again cause we didn't plan our shopping itenary properly and thus we've no idea where to shop.

Baskin robbins with lilin and sherwin after shopping while the rest continued shopping. So smart of us to actually decided to go to their red light district for night market and ended up siting a tragic and scary incident which totally freaked lilin and sherwin out.

Last day in bkk:

This is what we did in the airport, trying to tidy our luggage again and taking out those items which are heavier in case we exceed the weight limit.

Super duper worn out faces after three crazy shopping days!

One of my favs! <3

Goodbye shopping paradise, we'll see you again!

BKK DAY TWO

2011-09-13T23:31:00.009+08:00

Started off day two with an early morning cause we wanna get to chatuchak weekend market real early (typical kia-su singaporeans I know). This is the power of shopping, sacrificing sleep just to shop.

Cabbed down to lilin and reina's hotel (service apartment actually but it's so classy and the room is ginormous, so much better than the hotel I'm staying in).

Reina - mafia cam-whore queen!

Cabbed down to chatuchak weekend market and we paid only 105 bhat = 4 sgd?!?!?! It's just merely $1 for each, even cheaper than taking a train ride singapore!

As you can see, weather wasn't on our side again. It was drizzling, raining and then burning hot after which.

Lunch at some random western restaurant at a mall near chatuchak and headed back to platinum for second round of shopping spree! I swear it was way more exhausting than the first day cause we didn't walk and shop but run and shop! The mall closes at 8pm sharp and most of the stores close at around 7 which sucks big time since we wouldn't have much time to shop. Basically, all of us had only less than two hours to get shoes and bags cause we only realized that the shoes and bags zone in platinum is at another building.

Reina and agnes' dead beat faces after shopping since morning.

Settled dinner at a road side stall and the food tasted pretty great forgoing the hygiene factor.

Pardon me for being mean, but I think it's quite funny. Look at the word that's being spelt wrongly.

Crab meat fried rice, thumbs up!!

Tom yum soup! (I didn't drink cause I couldn't take any spicy food.)

Stir-friend brocolli with prawns! Me love vege!

Grilled calamari! (Y)

Look at all of their shagged faces!

Crashed in lilin and reina's hotel room on the second night cause we had a mini drinking session with the guys. Oh and I forgot to mention that we went for thai massage on the first night! Cheap and awesome! :> Just merely 8 sgd for an hour!

Shall continue with the last part of bkk soon! Gotta turn in now for a fat day with maryann and mel tomorrow, goodnight earthlings (:

BKK DAY ONE

2011-09-12T23:38:00.020+08:00

Hello fellow readers, I'm finally back in singapore after four super exhausting days in bangkok but it was definitely a fabulous getaway despite the rainy weather with my wonderful girlfriends and two new friends made over there! :D

Agnes stayed over at my crib on thursday night so that we could catch an early train and bus on friday morning! I swear we were so excited till the extent that we could scream to ourselves a number of times in the airport!

Breakie at yakun kaya toast before boarding the plane!

Agnes looks like a bimbo here, no? (No pun intended and please don't kill me if you see this agnes, but it's really so her with her animal prints!)

Took BTS train to find our hotel but apparently we lost our ways and only realized that we actually alighted a stop earlier on the third day zomg.

Nevertheless, we still managed to get to the hotel safely and there we went for our retail therapy at platinum fashion mall!

My loots for the first day! :>

That's all for today cause my eyes are totally shutting real soon. Stay tuned for the next bkk post! Goodnight world!

HELLO BKK

2011-09-08T23:30:00.002+08:00

GOODBYE SINGAPORE FOR FOUR DAYS! MISS ME (:

Counting down

2011-09-06T23:30:00.003+08:00

THREE MORE DAYS TO THE LONG-AWAITED BKK GETAWAY!

Just gotta survive another day of work and I can give my legs a good rest. Haven't felt this restless for ages, physically and mentally. One more day, I can do it!

H&M

2011-09-05T02:28:00.004+08:00

First day of work at H&M on its opening day wasn't a joke and the crowd was way beyond my imagination. What's worse is that I've zero experience in retailing and gotta learn everything from scratch. Now I've finally understood how strenuous it is to work in retail industry especially when there's only one store in singapore and everyone is going ga-ga over it!

In contradiction of that, I'm starting to love working in H&M. Cause firstly, I've the wonderful agnes working with me yippee - just like today, we had break together and could get our fav red mango! :D Secondly, my manager and divided dept colleagues are really nice. Lastly, I can get to see all the pretty garments while working - which will motivate me to work harder to get them!

Another ten hours of work consecutively for the next three days, I really hope I survive well.

What you want love to feel like

2011-09-02T23:40:00.003+08:00

"You want love to be mixed tapes, bike rides, playing your favorite album together on some vintage record player in your room, making a fort out of pillows together, sweet text messages. Kissing on a fire escape, going on adventures together, traveling to foreign lands, taking polaroids on the beach, reading the paper on a sunday afternoon, and writing little notes back and forth."

-

That's how I want love to feel like, simplistic and beautiful.

Hello september

2011-09-01T23:33:00.002+08:00

It wasn't a good start to begin with for september - literally screwed up today's econs paper and I wouldn't be surprised if I fail this module.

However on a very much happier note, bkk trip is in another week's time yay! Not only travelling with agnes, jake and joanne but with reina, lilin, darren, wilson and etc as well! I really love impromptu plans especially overseas trip, the more the merrier isn't it? (:

Smelling freedom in another 12 hours' time, till then goodnight!

Take back your misery

2011-08-31T22:42:00.005+08:00

Two awesome songs that are always on repeat on my playlist recently. Check them out (:

You are more than the choices that you've made
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes
You are more than the problems you create
You've been remade

Slumberous

2011-08-30T22:24:00.003+08:00

Tuesday with piles of lecture notes, not with morrie (pardon me I was crapping).

I've been facing the four dull walls for a week I supposed? Besides meeting shawn for movie and quick dinner on sunday, my room's my best friend during this one week of study break. Just three more days, I'll bear with it!

Monday blues

2011-08-29T23:28:00.002+08:00

Apparently I was feeling rather down almost the whole of today until daniel (my H&M department manager) called me just a moment back. Cause my friends who are gonna work at H&M all received a text from their dept manager except me, regarding the 50% sales exclusive for staffs today and that totally dampened my mood but all's well now! Though it's sucha pity that I couldn't get the 50% discount but it's alright cause bkk is waiting for me! C:

Next happy thing is that I'm gonna work in the same department as agnes yay! Do pop by to visit us yeah and I forgot to mention that my schedule is insane but I guess I'll be loving it double yay-ness.

Back to studies now, just a few more days to go! Wish me luck!

Therapy

2011-08-28T21:20:00.002+08:00

My screwed up body clock only allowed me to get three hours of sleep and there I went for H&M training this morning. Managed to make a few friends and the managers are really nice! I really wonder how chaotic the store will be on the grand opening day (3rd sept, this saturday by the way). I'm pretty sure that alot of the kia-su singaporeans will surely make their way to town early and be the first 300 to get the $20 gift card, H&M limited edition umbrella and etc but still very much looking forward to it! And hopefully, I'll be able to work with agnes at the same department, crossed fingers.

Dead beat, totally deprived of a good rest to continue with my revision for exams. Till then, x.
