:(

I don't want to go back. I'm going to miss my mum who always leaves the best for me and my brother who never fail to make me laugh at his jokes. I'll miss my aunt who treats me like I'm her very own daughter. I'll miss my little cousins who are the cutest thing on Earth. I'll miss my friends who I know will always be there for me. I'll miss sitting on the comfortable sofa and watching tvb on the large screen tv. I'll miss going to Jurong Point, West Mall and Causeway Point which have everything I need. I'll miss taking the mrt even though it broke down a number of times this year. I'll miss eating breakfast at nearby coffee shops. I'll miss the cheap food, transport fares and clothings. I'll miss Singapore. I'll miss home.

Bukit Timah Market

Met up w the pretty yihui & lian seng @ my fav bukit timah market ions ago before she left for China. Great catching up session :)

Ytd was 2012-12-02. Both my neighbour & my cousin got married that day. Helped out with the banquet and it was so much more fun that I expected.

Less than 2 weeks before I leave for Syd. Gotta make full use of my time before I leave!

reviving the dead blog

The pictures were taken during bongzai's first visit to Singapore during the holidays.. which is like super duper long ago. Was treated by her dad to the most sumptuous chinese meal ever in the 18 years of my life.. lobster, abolone, sharkfin, beijing duck etc. And wine as gift.

Bro's going army the next day. Had dinner w him and my mum before he leaves for tekong tmr. Good family time together :D To be honest, my bro's a great brother who cooks and do laundry for me when my mum's away even though I'm older.

Life'd been great. Lots of good food during cny and red packets for clothes. Bought a few new stuff during the hols. Sigh, I'm such a spendthrift. Stopped doing internship after cny.. Life is definitely more relaxing without having to wake up early to go to work everyday. But the internship is definitely a good experience.

Love the songs.. love the show.

great song

Parcel/Christmas Present

Oh well, the photos are not in order but here's my parcel from overseas! Pretty excited cause I've been waiting for the parcel for quite a long time. Hehe and here's my really awesome present from the awesome someone.

Today's the last day of my internship. There's nothing much to do some here I am in my last attempt to revive my dead blog. I know I haven't been blogging much lately. Oh well.

Anw was looking at supre website and was shocked by how much the clothes are when converted to SGD. Sigh, I should probably avoid shopping in aus if possible.

Talking to liling brings back alot of memories about what happened in the past... those memories that I thought I've forgotten but remained at the back of my mind. Things have changed since my first semester in uni. I was dumb, I was stupid.. I was young. Although it'd been merely 2 years, I feel that I've grown alot since then though I have to admit I'm still childish and immature. However, I've grown to care alot more about how people think of me and the way I present myself. I've become more motivated, I want to achieve more things.. I stopped wearing those girly dresses and go for the more mature ones instead. I've become more materialistic.. and more aware of brands that I've never heard of in the past. It's funny how meeting that one person can make you change so much. These changes are, for the better, in my opinion. But all the tears and hurt caused.. is the price to pay worth it?

Perhaps, it all didn't matter now. But still, I'm thankful...

To: PA

Since I came back

Took a three day leave cause of red eyes which means a long weekend for me. Please pray that my eyes would be fine. Finally took the first hep a and b vaccination yesterday. 2 more to go.. Have been quite busy ever since I came back and there's hardly time to go out. But life'd been pretty good. Feels great to be at home.

:DD

November

It's the first day of November. My stomach hurts and I'm feeling homesick. Talked to my mum over facebook today. I miss her.. and I miss home. Had been staring at the black document on the screen of my laptop for the past half an hour. I'm not in the mood to do anything. I don't know what's wrong with me for the past few days, where has all my motivation gone? I feel so sick.. sick in my stomach, sick of myself for being so lazy and just.. sick.

random pictures

Have been really busy w the video productions stuff.. I can't wait to get this video productions thing over and done with. It's taking up so much of my time. Sigh. I hope all the assessments will end soon so that I can play tetris w/o feeling guilty. Lol. I gotta have to suppress the urge of playing it for awhile.. at least before I'd completed the essays. My last essay's due on the 14th. Which leaves me about a week to have fun in Sydney. I can foresee myself playing tetris on the school computer and EK beside me studying for exams. Going home in like 29 days? Soon I'll be back on the sunny island sweating like a pig. I can still vividly remember the day I counted 44 days. Before I knew it it'd been about 2 weeks, time flies.

LOL!

happy meal :D

Happy meal w Ek ions ago..

Anw, Ek's totally addicted to twitter. Lol

Ek says (8:06 PM):

Ek says (8:16 PM):

Ek says (8:19 PM):

Ek says (8:33 PM):

HAHAHAHA! Tsk! Lol.

passionflower & soup

passionflower and soup w bong and xuan ions ago.

Have been quite busy w uni & going out etc and didnt have time to update this blog. Most of the photos are from ions ago. Sigh.

42 days before I go back! But within this 42 days there's so much to do esp video productions. Shooting and editing videos are tiring enough and there's still a take home exam after the 6mins piece which's due on 28th (and we haven't started) oops.

Replaced the sodas in my fridge with soy milk - my first step towards a healthier lifestyle. Had weet-bix for breakfast in an attempt to be healthy but ate an additional packet of seaweed. P-H-A-I-L! Sigh, need to quit the seaweed addiction before I suffer from iodine overdoes and thyroid problems :/

random photos

The 2 presentations are over, like finally. The 2nd presentation's quite screwed up, baby princess came in 20mins late for the presentation and left without an apology. The frown on the tutor face and his constant questioning about the whereabouts of the baby princess indicates how bad the presentation was. But still, I thank God helping me through the 2 presentations. Without his grace and mercy, I would not be able to pull through the 2 presentations.

Out with Ek to celebrate. We bought this Japanese drink and was trying to open it. People passing by were staring at us as if we were idiots. Ek even went to buy a bottle opener lol. In the end, the lady sitting beside us who happens to be Japanese taught us the correct method to open the bottle. Funny ttm.

Trying to look for some appropriate food (bread etc) to fill my tummy in the morning but all I have is junk food - chocolates, chips, soft drinks, instant noodles, sweets, lollipops etc. I ended up eating chips plus soft drinks for breakfast. I definitely need to lead a healthier lifestyle. I don't want to die at such a young age.

Back to essay.

wake me up when September ends

Chef Mel cooked food for us ions ago. Yumyum. Love the cabbage ttm.

This week's gonna be a really busy week for me. 2 presentations on thurs! Sigh. Presentations are my worst nightmare. 2 presentations on the same day is like having one nightmare after on the same night. Sigh. Hope all goes well. Dear Lord, please grant me strength and wisdom.

49 more days. It'd been a year and I'm looking forward to going back. Terribly homesick. Miss the people, the envt, the shopping, the food etc. It's finally October! Yipee :DD

Anw I just found out that eating too much seaweed will lead to iodine overdose. Have been curbing my craving for Tao Kae Noi Seaweed for the past few days. Bought the seaweed again today though, I'll try to limit my intake :P.

年龄越大，性格越孤僻。喜欢一个人，喜欢在家。想得多了，有些时候却连自己也猜不透自己在想什么。有些事情，该忘得不忘，不该忘的却记得一清二楚。小时候对于未来很有目标，长大后却十分迷茫。老听人家说，人的智慧会随着年龄而增长，我却觉得自己变笨了。小时候人人都说我很懂事很成熟，长大后的我却像个长不大的小孩子。老觉得身边的人都在进步着，随着岁月的流逝而前进着，我却停留在原地。。。

melody market

Was @ Melody Market w Enoch eons ago. It's finally the last week before the mid sem break. And finally 2 more months before I leave for Singapore. I can't wait to be home. It'd been almost a year and all I want is to return to where I belong. I miss the familiar Singaporean accent, miss all the cheap and awesome hawker food & most importantly, I miss my mum & friends. But probably, even if I'm home, things would be quite different this time. I probably won't be seeing my mum as often and I have an internship to do. Liling isn't coming back and Soo will only be back in Jan. Sigh.

Idk what's wrong w me lately, I'd just not been in my best mood. I feel lethargic and I just don't wanna do anything. Sometimes, as I walk back home from uni, I feel like I'm not the one who's doing the walking. It's not like I'd not been sleeping enough or I'm stressed out or whatever, I just feel like I'm not myself. I don't know how to those feelings into words. Sigh. Probably I'm just...tired.

geeky spects

Yeah, I know, the spects doesn't suit me cause it's too big. Haha, the spect's Matthew's. Met him some time ago. It'd been a really looongggg time since we last seen each other.

Today's awesome. I just realized that my presentation is pushed back 2 weeks later. Caught up with Ryutaro, Husam, Vito and Rebecca @ Mannings for lunch. It was really nice catching up with them. Hung out with MECO peeps to celebrate Andie's 20th. The big 20! & Melody market with Ek after. The poor boy had to wait more than an hour for me today :( Oops~ 2 dinners today- feel so fat.

Thank God for the day. Hopefully the rest of the week will be as fabulous.

happy meal

Asked Ek to choose between harry potter, bridesmaid, bad teacher and green lantern - it was unexpected that he chose bridesmaid. Had happy meal before we caught the movie, the happy meal thing was initially meant to be a joke.

Taking a break today before continuing on my essay tomorrow. Completed 2 of my assignments this week, I guess I deserve the day-off. Was reading ban shen yuan last night till ard 4.. for the first time in idk-how-many months, I'm actually sleeping what I consider to be late. I'm glad I'm actually able to still recognize the characters of my favourite language.

Just found out that Xiaxue dyed her hair pink and I really admire her courage. I wish I could do the same.. I'm not a person who would do something that deviates from the norm. I really like a pink hair but I feel self-conscious even carrying a pink backpack.

Taking my own sweet time to eat my breakfast while I toured the virtual world on my computer - I'm enjoying and appreciating every moment of the slow morning.
