Stay-at home-cation

For the past week I have distanced myself from the real world. Sort of like going overseas but not really?

The only people I went out with besides my parents were my cousins. Quite grateful for all our little getaways actually. We watched Maleficent and had pepper lunch, been bowling twice and to the trampoline park twice.

My campsite AKA coffee bean is under going renovation so I had to find a new place to sit for long hours so that I can be just a bit more productive than being on youtube all day long at home. And change is good. oh yes it is. LOOK AT THIS NEW PLACE I FOUND. I can't believe I haven't been spending every free moment here. ITS DAMN LEGIT.

ALSO SOGURT <3

I feel like I have been on a one-week vacation, minus the dance lessons and sleeping on my own bed. But I guess its back to reality tmr  today.

Fill your heart with LOVE

So thankful for June hols.

I have been thinking a lot (mostly when I should be STUDYING OH WELL).
About all the decisions I have made,
all the choices I am going to have to make,
trying to confront my emotions but realising I am really really unsure,
how the heck does one find a balance between work and play,
looking back at all the wonderful memories made in Raffles,
feeling so damn nostalgic,
but realizing majority of those whom I love are still by my side,
being really thankful for all the constants,
and reminding myself to appreciate everything and everyone.



Alrighty, in other words, I am REALLY LOOKING FORWARD to watch TFIOS. Tbh, I didn't really feel very strongly about the book, but I guess all the hype has gotten me damn excited. AND THE TRAILER OH MY GOD THE TRAILER!!!! I think we're going to be a mess during the movie but its just so beautiful and tragic.

Idk but recently I had had such a different outlook on love. As in true romantic love. I think its from seeing it land upon those around me that has made me realise how FREAKING SWEET AND ADORABLE that such pure innocent love can be AWWWWHHH <3

oh wow JC life

Term 2 was epic. FUCKING EPIC.

The day I turned SEVENTEEN

IM GONNA TALK ABOUT MY BIRTHDAY because it was legit BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!

My darling's midnight wish totally made my whole day! I'm even more damn grateful for you, darling <3

School got off to a sweet start cause of Chewy Juniors from TMY!!! Can't believe we have spent 4+++ years together THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING :)

Then morning celebration with the ALWAYS AMAZING FAMily+415.

<3

DA GANG! (sorry excuse morning small eyes)

First lesson was PE but it was gym-ming so ok la. LOL the girls started singing birthday song in the middle of our treadmill workout HAHA we are 2cool4skool.
Shoutout to Blazer my birthday twin! At least I didn't feel old on my own.

I feel honoured being in your facebook dp

Then lessons lessons blahblahblah. Assembly was quite joke it was some Chinese Orchestra session, and my CO classmate was just sleeping but Mantou's texts were like OMG I KNOW THIS SONG hahahahaha.

During lunch I talked with so many people cause my birthday balloon was an eye-catcher HEHE THANKS GUYS.
And thennn my day got even sweeter cause COOKIES! Thanks la :)

Fatness concealed in a pretty box

CCA prac with less than half the people cause everyone else was going for dancefeste. It turned out to be more like a drama class? I CAN'T ACT HELP.
Another shoutout to my other birthday twin Way! The first year we knew each other we were turning 13, and now are 17 (I REALLY FEEL VERY OLD)

What happened after CCA and before dinner was so confusing. I think they wanted to watch abit of dancefeste before leaving, but then the emcee was like WE GONNA LOCK THE DOORS YO so we had to zao before anything legit even started. I didn't really get what was going on HAHAHA just followed the crowd. And KEEP CALM AND TAKE PHOTOS.

KYM I miss you guys (btw I love this order such symmetry :P)

Dinner at Swensens with the OG YAY. It was damn fun and hilarious :D Except my flowers got abit squashed (DON'T WORRY guys my mum managed to revive them).

Chicken teriyaki pasta (mum say must eat noodles this counts right)

We moved up to rooftop and kelly and clarissa my bbys came to join :) Another round of celebration with angry birds cake! Jackie damn fail though he wanted to face-smash the cake as revenge for me whip-creaming his face last time, but his plan SUCKED and it never came through thank god.

MAY MY WISHES COME TRUE :)

The late-night survivors

I LOVE THIS PHOTO CAUSE EVERYONE LOOKS SO HAPPY :D

IT WAS SUCH A LOVELY DAY AND I FELT SO LOVED AND I LOVE EVERYONE THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING

MUACKS.
(But is everyone in on a mission to get me fat, cause cupcakes & chewy juniors & cakes & ice cream)

Confused

Walao what sort of shitty mood have I been in this whole night.
NOTHING IS GOING RIGHT AND EVERYTHING IS GOING WRONG :(

This is not the way to spend my last few hours of being 16. EEEEEEEEEEEE a 17 year old wouldn't spend her time being upset over little things. Time is too precious for that. Okay I shall change my mindset by the next hour :)

FANTABULOUS FEBRUARY

JC life is so hectic omg. SO MANY PEOPLE SO MANY LESSONS SO MANY EVENTS. Its quite overwhelming actually I dont even know what Im staying back for everyday. IS GOSSIP SESSION LEGIT REASON??? HAHAHA but damn fun la :)

I cant remember half the stuff that has happened CAUSE EVERYDAY IS SUPER HAPPENING.

But I shall try...

I am proud to announce my OG is still alive! We have a morning table hahaha but everybody comes damn late.

First OG birthday celebration was a success. WHIPPED CREAM!!!! I think we have excellent planning and coordination HAHAHA jackie was so unsuspecting.

That day of external activities was super hilarious

OG! Idk what we are pointing at?

During Take5 when we had a picnic!
And I became fat cause cookies with 2 sticks of butter.

DURING MT HOUSE PARTY
And I became even fatter cause free chewy junior and snacks

Next up, my new class! That takes lots of selfies everywhere. AND WE ARE GOING TO OPHIR.

the 10 girls of S06G :)
And the boys still having PE :)

We went to the library just to take selfies.
Also, caitlin is the official class selfie taker.

PIZZA PARTY WHEEEEE
HOW FAT AM I GONNA BECOME

I keep meeting new people cause friends of friends of friends will reunite in the canteen or somewhere in the humongous school.

BUT. Old friends are HERE TO STAY!

With the gang during take5

But its getting hard to take complete picture:(

ALL MY DARLINGS <3 

Entre group back at RG
The new pinafore colour is urgh

NOW FOR THE NON-PEOPLE pics:

Sunday brunch from last week YUM 

I FELL ON MY KNEE AGAIN. IT WAS  DAMN BAD WALAO.  It has taken 3 weeks to heal siannnn

I posted this on We Heart It and it got like 400 likes HAHAHA such a hipster

I have been induced

Soooo JIP is officially over! It has been a fun-filled 2 weeks, and I think its one of those times I am gonna look back upon and miss so dearly cause it was so carefree and casual.


There is never a lonely moment with my 415 darlings around:
-A mob of people following Jasmine and Nigel to the RI canteen
-Insta-noodles resulting in WA war but ending with us playing frisbee

-Being the most frequent customers of the minimart
-Supporting each other at CCA trials

This was at the floorball trial of nat and clarissa

-the MOST EVENTFUL DINNER EVER at Swensens celebrating the Koh bdays (okay this story cannot go untold. The waitress and carrying a tray with like 4 drinks, the tray wobbled, all the drinks spilled over our table and poor val, the glass smashed all over the floor, val's plate literally broke into half, we were given 10% discount)

Chicken baked rice

Free birthday ice-cream (you know where to find me on my bday)

BEST CLASS EVER gonna miss them sosososo much :(


CCA trials are really competitive and scary this year. I was all prepared to just join rec badminton cause slack+fun! But I went with Jenny to audition for mod dance and somehow I got in?! HAHA everyone I have told was damn surprised like that is so unexpected. SIAN WHERE IS THE FAITH GUYS. Ok fine I didn't expect myself to make it either but I suppose there is a reason I am still doing ballet after all these years. I had a huge dilemma between dance and hockey. I hope I am making the right decision. 


Been meeting primary school friends on the mrt cause we are all westies. And damn cute a bunch of them who stay at lakeside will go to school tgt in the morning and sometimes I will bump into them and its always nice to have company. The school is SO FREAKING HUGE though I still haven't met some of the ex-classmates.


Also, I went back to visit my first workplace where I was paid :D Hehe ya it was at Don pie. I am not trying to advertise but seriously so yumzzzz. Can you believe it though liren had 2 pies all on his own, in the same span of time I took to finish my FAV PIE.

Black Pepper Chicken Pie

Today is Day 1 of CNY but Im gonna put that in a separate post cause I like things to be relevant.

We are ASSHOLES

14 Jan 1111PM
Let the last day before school starts be a good one :)

Today i had 5 hours of sleep, cause sleeping on someone else's floor is really uncomfortable. But moving on, we decided to go to jc-hopping! At least gillian and steph did HAHA I just went to hcjc. The funniest part it GILLIAN AND I WERE WEARING RAFFLES SHIRTS. IN HWACHONG. Like even jenny was embarrassed for us.

DAMN FUNNY the tour guide was like "hey raffles! Is this a troll thing?"

But seriously the only reason I wanted to go was *ahem*gillian's boyboy* but that didn't even happen. At first, the 4 of us were sitting in the open area playing cards, then we left jenny at some chess booth, and then gillian saw her friends, and steph followed her, and i was left alone :(

OK I am really glad for friends cause michelle and liren came to find me (DO YOU KNOW HOW EASY IT IS TO GET LOST). Hehehe met some 6R people who have never come out before. I had to literally go to their school to finally see them after 5 years.

I tried participating in their cca discussions (but not like i am really transferring there right i mean even though it is a legit cool school i have already bought my rj uniform) but I really really have no idea what cca i want to consider. SO HARD. do i have no interests? :(

AND BTW do you know how many buses from hc go to my house? 4! Instead of one measly bus that gets stuck in traffic all the time to ri.

I think this is first time this hols I am going to bed before midnight. Fun fact of the day: I had a mango for dinner. BUT DAMN IT WAS SUCH A DELICIOUS MANGO.

SCHOOL, GO AWAY

Last week of my hols BOOOOHOOOO.

Monday feels like such a long time ago but its actually just 5 days! Woke up at noon, SUPER HUNGRY, no food at home, thus ended up at my go-to cafe CBTL.

Tim Ho Wan with the primary school peeps for dimsum YUM YUM. Price is quite legit the 5 of us spent $60, although maybe its cause I ate a lot oops. Paris Baguette for even more afternoon snacks cause WE PIGS YO. But ohgosh finally tried their pudding <3 <3 <3

Went to the library with the intention to study, but Instagram was super distracting. And if you are living under a rock, GO FOLLOW MY INSTAGRAM. My P6 cousin has over a THOUSAND followers! AHHEM PART As AHHEM.

TYPO SALE AT WESTGATE. TYPO SALEEEEE. Bought presents for the 3 bday girls. And there was this pillow I was intending to get for Kelly, but then I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT and got another for myself (well done me what happened only spending money on legit necessary stuff, but in my defense it is really really cute). I love staying at the west now.

Tuesday 

Combined surprise bday celebration for kelly gillian cynthia at marina barrage. FUN DAY.

HAHA in the morning a lot of us were late so we were trying to stall the bday girls. Like randomly asking cynthia to go buy chips and making kelly leave late. 

Cynthia still came on time though and OMG while we were waiting for kelly we ran into thengyi! Like she didn't know the other group would be there as well HAHAHA thengyi super cool though she just walked past without saying anything AND CYNTHIA WAS SO HURT. 

Also eileen is damn good at stalling gillian so that she won't bump into us. Like she got off at a wrong stop, then pretended she had to use the toilet, legit used the toilet, and went on the new blue mrt line for fun.

OK PICS ARE ON FB AND INSTA. IM LAZY TO REUPLOAD HERE. BUT IN SUMMARY, SUPER FUN DAY. 

Although I completely ran out of cash. And I still owe people money. On a brighter note, people owe me money too.

Wednesday was the third day in a row not eating at home at all.  Lunch with platmates (THEY HAVE A CREPE STALL AT FAR EAST AND ITS DELICIOUS), went back to RGS cause we are bored kids with nothing to do. THE SUN WAS BURNING so we escaped to the library and laughed at poor juniors having school. LIKE WHAT IS SCHOOL EVEN. Moved to squash court and crashed the B NCOS' meeting. 

Then since I was already in orchard so just nice go buy uniform. Jio-ed Jasmine (CAUSE IM A GOOD FRIEND ARENT I) and gillian came along too. I dislike buying fitted clothes cause SUPER DEMORALISING but ohwell motivation to not get fat. Then we went bag-hunting cause jasmine's bag broke :( 

Yoshinoya for dinner was my first time in DAYS eating veggies. But whats the point when we ended up at EWF for fries. Dear Jasmine, I hope we didn't ruin the special memory you have with a special someone at that special place. 

Thursday the primary school people decided to go out again but that day just felt like a very home-based day so I stayed home the whole day. But HEY I did go to subway for lunch, and met Michelle there! Such a surprise cause I was expecting her to be with the rest. 

The rest of the day was spent re-watching Sherlock season 1. And then tumblring after that.

FAVOURITE SCENE

FEELS FEELS FEELS

OH MY GOD IM NOT OKAY

The point I’m trying to make is that I am the most unpleasant… rude, ignorant, and all around obnoxious asshole that anyone could possibly have the misfortune to meet. I am dismissive of the virtuous, unaware of the beautiful, and uncomprehending in the face of the happy. So if I didn’t understand I was asked to be best man it is because I never expected to be anybody’s best friend. Certainly not the best friend of the bravest, and kindest and the wisest human being I have ever had the good fortune of knowing. John, I am a ridiculous man. Redeemed only by the warmth and constancy of your friendship.

-Sherlock Holmes, in The Saddest Quote Ever The Sign of Three

I LEGIT CRIED AT THIS SCENE

Friday was uneventful. Spent the day clearing out my room and working out. Ran to the Bukit Gombak stadium to run one round on the track and then ran all the way back again HAHA super pointless route next time I shall be more adventurous. 

Saturday 

Edusave awards was um okay. The organisers were trying to get the awardees to applaud but all the older people in the back rows didn't even flinch a muscle HAHAHA. But super cool though its held at this hardcourt area so its literally right at my house.

I have no idea when I started blogging by days but well I guess this is what I do now? 

NEW YEAR NEW ME

HAPPY 2014!!!!!

Let me start with the last week of 2013.

29th Dec
One and half months since the gang last saw each other, and JASMINE WHO SUGGESTED GOING OUT IN THE FIRST PLACE WAS GROUNDED. But Nat Kelly Clarissa and I had a nice meal and long catchup at TCC. I have missed talking to them SO MUCH and I know I am going to miss them even more as classmates :( I mean who else is going to sit with me for one whole night talking about boys and JC until the waiter at TCC hints super obviously at us to leave.

LOOK I wore a skirt for once! And ya pretty christmas tree.

30th Dec
Supposed to have 6R gathering but we suck at planning (OK WE DONT PPL JUST SUCK AT COMING). So went another movie outing with Liren and Michelle. FROZENNN. Its M's 3rd time watching it can you believe it. We had a lot of time to kill before the movie and just sat at Macs talking, but liren was like a stone that day. Anywhere we go he will just sit down and stare into space tsk over-complicated brain.

31st Dec
Set 5 alarms to wake myself up before 9 (the first alarm was at 7). Went for a jog at the park because I havent climbed those hills in months; got a  bit of workout until I saw monkeys and I hate monkeys so I left.

NCO+Jenny lunch outing at Ajisen :) Haven't seen these people in damn long too so it was nice. Kish the cool kid has 7 piercings now and I was so psychic I guessed the existence of the 7th piercing and it turns out it really was there!! Left Jenny at a fish shop and the NCOs went to camp at the secret spot under the escalator. On the bus home with Jenny, we had a little h2h and I felt quite bad for not talking with her more often. Well at least she has finally joined WA (AFTER 4 YEARS WITH AN IPHONE)

Helped out a bit around the house in preparation for our new year's dinner. But guess what WAKING UP EARLY IS NOT A GOOD IDEA. Fell asleep at 6 and relatives came at 6.30 and I almost missed all the fun THANKS COUSINS FOR WAKING ME UP.

Went with the cousins to a little countdown party. Watched The Wanted on TV and they are damn cool, but 1D is still the coolest boy band. Facetime with Gillian and co. at midnight hahaha my cousins were super amused by my platoonmates.

1st Jan
Legit did not go out that day. Just lazed around cousin's house, stalking Insta and watching movies. WHAT A GREAT WAY TO START 2014 :D

2nd Jan
Brought cousins out to watch Frozen cause they haven't watched it and FROZEN IS A MOVIE THAT NEEDS TO BE WATCHED. And it was their first day of school those poor things. HAHAHA so many sad secondary school students going home after their first day of school. I cannot imagine it at all IM THOROUGHLY ENJOYING MY HOLS. I leant something cool though: Mrs Chan (my p6 teacher) and Mr Kwan (my p4 teacher) are BOTH teaching my cousin like SO COOL RIGHT.

One more month

Its 6.25AM and I am sitting on my bed with my Mac, iPad, and phone in front of me.
Listening to Midnight Memories (their voices have gotten so powerful OMG).
I woke up at 1AM after a 3-hour nap.
So Im not sure whether to sleep during the day or just wait until nighttime again.

So rmb how I said I was working right, well Im not anymore. HAHAHA yeah I worked for a total of 7 days, then the boss told me they didn't need helper anymore. I was quite relieved cause it was seriously getting tiring but then quite sad also cause that was like the perfect holiday job with good pay good food good people.

That was on wednesday (I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED ON MON AND TUES) and right after a hasty goodbye I rushed to paya lebar for CmPs workshop. And bem was carrying the plastic bag from the place I worked at and she couldn't get over the fact that I had worked there hahahaha. We did the normal stuff with the kids then at the end there was extra time so I played hangman with them. So long since I last played it MY CHILDHOOD IS SLIPPING AWAY.

Thursday I went to deposit my paycheck with my dad and I was so happy with the money i decided to treat him to lunch SO GENEROUS RIGHT. We had pastamania cause I had vouchers as well, such a good plan. He went for work and I went for a jog cause I love afternoon jogs cause I feel more accomplished when I sweat more haha I know its weird lah but wtv.

At night I went to watch movie with liren and michelle. Didn't join them for dinner cause I was still full from lunch and they chose to have SUSHI. Watched Last Vegas, not a bad movie but nothing extraordinary. And we all had this member card from when we watched Catching Fire tgt, and we kept asking whether got discount. AND HAVE LEH. Like the tickets were only $7, and the popcorn $1 off. NOT BAD considering we only paid student price for the catching fire tix :D

And ofc we couldn't not get Starbucks 1-for-1. There was a queue out of the shop and while waiting we were deciding btw either 2 drinks or 4 and in the YOLO FOUR IT IS. So we told the cashier 1 of each drink, plus one more random one. He was quite amused I think I would be too if I were him. They ended the promotion like 5 ppl after us so quite lucky but then it was alr 1030PM. And I finished one and a half venti-size worth of coffee. Had trouble zipping my pants omg seriously damn bloated aftwards. In fact I was bloated until Fri aftnoon and liren was just like your stomach is too small I can finish 2 meal at once and not be full. Sigh guys.

Friday I went to IMM cause they were having Billabong sale so ofc I needed to be there. The shorts were all $25 which is really not bad cause their usual price is all like $70. And I helped dad borrow his computer book from library and since JE has become the new Orchard everytime I go there I have to go inside JEM and ohgod I spent so much money. I think my earnings are nearly half gone, 2 days after I received it, HOW AM I GONNA SURVIVE NEXT TIME.

And I did not know there is a new Factorie store at Westgate. But now i do know. So I have to go. I think I will go today.

Btw my new favourite pizza is from pezzo. Go try! I recommend Hawaiian and BBQ chicken.

The tan lines will fade, but the memories will remain forever

Bali 2013 was the most amazing family holiday ever!!! Ok idk why but my family has this thing for beach holidays, like for the past 5 years all our vacations have been to the beach. 3 times to Tioman, once to Desaru, and once to Bali. I LOVE THE BEACH. like srsly a lot. I spend a lot of my free time scrolling through tumblr, and when im not looking a hot people im looking at the beach. So hot people at the beach is just like OMG LIFE.

And it is not just the beach, I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT SUMMER. (thank god I stay in Singapore but the weather has been a little bitch recently) You have no idea how many times I have dreamt about that American lifestyle with 3 months of no school and just having absolute fun every single day.

HAHAHA I know this post is damn out of way with all the christmassy stuff going on but too bad deal with it.

It was more than a month ago so I shall just list down some things (PICS BELOW):
1. 7th Nov - 12th Nov
2. Had to wake up at 5am but I slept at 3 perfecting my playlist
3. Met Chloe at the airport Starbucks! Such a coincidence haha she was on her way to Taiwan
4. Spent every minute possible in the sun
5. Ate lots lots lots burgers + pizza + fruit salad
6. Drank lots lots lots fruit juices
7. Bought like 30++ bracelets
8. There was this mall smack in the middle of all the shophouses and it had stores like New Look, Topshop, Pull&Bear. And the stuff on sale were legit sale prices, so I helped myself hahaha
9. Starbucks was cheaper so I drank a lot of that
10. OMG so many hot angmohs
11. And I had sunglasses on so I could stare as much as I want AHHHH
12. I got a temporary tattoo cause it seemed like a cool idea. BUT THEN I got it too early on in the trip and now there is tanline of it on my shoulder. HAHAHA and its damn obvious when I wear tanks and that one time jay and hongjun saw it they were like WTF is that and judging me so badly.
13. First hotel had this infinity pool but its even cooler cause right below is the beach. And there were a lot of people surfing so I would just hang by the end of the pool watching them.
14. Making that playlist was so worth it. Listened to it all the time when lying on the beach/ by the pool.
15. Learnt to appreciate the wonders of iBooks. Finished the whole Divergent series and OMG what an ending like so sad but yet so happy Tris was able to have such an impact on Four.
16. My mum is damn good at bargaining. I have a lot to learn.

YAY PICTURE TIME

At the mall 

What is a beach holiday without a poser shot 

OH YA black pepper crab during seafood dinner overlooking the sunset

From a black tattoo to a white one

SIMPLY AMAZING VIEW + SUN + POOL = PERFECT

I would have this everyday if it weren't so overpriced in Sg

Love this type of summery juices

Don't worry I didn't keep everything for myself

And you wonder why I keep going back year after year
