Hi!!
Decided to use the time I spent contemplating on whether to update the blog or not, to actually update with this post. After all, I've been productive today. Phew the photos took a while! I had to refer to my diary to arrange the photos by date HAHA what good memory..
Anyway, its Frrrrridayyyy! And the exams are so so close. I have this one big problem that I get upset by the littlest things when I'm stressed. VERY upset. I could just cry and be all depressed and I hate it. Like without fail it would happen all the time before the exams. That is why I need this to end asap and I'm just going to say that this is my best. Of course there's still the weekends and revisions to do after each paper next week but I've put in my best up to date. I hope I'll remain emotionally stable till the end lol. I can't wait for the Korea trip to come. It's really been a dream to visit Korea and now I can finally see the words "Korea Trip!" in my diary hehe..
Alright time to get back to the grind goodbye!

PS: Beast's comeback release is on the 16th June, the day I return from Korea.
(Off to cry a river)

Let another cray week begin

Chocolate Banana ice cream // Brownie // Almond // Graham Cracker Pie Crust

Durian // Matcha // Strawberry

Sunday

Will someone help with this default sleepy face of mine

HAI!:>
Was all tucked in bed and ready to sleep but I reckoned I should update on the weekend before the busy week starts.
On Saturday, I spent a great afternoon with mom along Orchard. The agenda was to shop for dog clothes at Scape and sure we did. Then we had a Bear Paw burger (THAT HAS NO BEAR PAW OR BEAR OF ANY SORT IN IT EXCEPT A PAW PRINT) and Cold Stone ice cream on our walk to Cathay where I really wanted mom to try Maki San but in the end, we didn't because we were too full. Before we reached Cathay, we entered Rockstar and I didn't expect to be able to find myself a perfect pair of Toms. I don't know what's more perfect: the black Plaid design or the fact that someone in need of a pair of shoes will now get them (Hopefully). But really, I have been wanting
1. A pair of toms ever since it came out and I learnt of the One for One concept.
2. A more casual pair ever since my sperrys died
3. It had to be black so it could match everything
And there you have it, all points checked. It was a perfect pair of toms for me and like more then worth the search/ wait?? HAHA And they had it in my size (Sizes before and after US8 was gone) and it was on 20% discount and just YAY.

Alright then after we decided we were too full for sushi (very unfortunate), we went to Dhoby Ghaut mrt to get home by train. And there I chanced upon Jara Petit cheese cups that Faith got me the previous week! I was expecting the Matcha to be really good because I always go for Matcha Latte and whenever Matcha was an option but it was a little bitter to be honest. And not all that pleasant. The durian was really good with real durian flesh in it and the strawberry was a great tasting classic:)

On Sunday, we attended my cousin's precious Vodka's 2nd Birthday!! She's so adorable hehehe so tiny but bursting with character. And then Bobby got the chance to mingle with eight to ten other dogs in the dog cafe (Paw Pet-radise Cafe). Its a really clean place with good food fit for humans. And great service, that is most important for me wherever I go really. This particular big white mongrel (if I'm not wrong) Bobby couldn't stop approaching! She was really aggressive towards anyone who looked her in the eye or touched or went near her. I was very worried at first that she might hurt bony Bobby but it only took awhile before she looked like she was having fun with him! Bobby's licks on her ears and face tickled her and they just looked so so adorable playing together. I really want another dog as soon as possible because who wouldn't want an additional best friend..

The post's pretty long and wordy already but I just want to say that I'm really unhappy with people around me who are selfish and un-easygoing. Why should it be that everything goes your way and you have to benefit in a way or another. I feel like I unconsciously put in effort to please everyone around me and I'm not even complaining but why wouldn't people do the same for me, at least occasionally? It's fulfilling to make a small sacrifice/ give in a little/ compromise.....no? I don't know. It's beyond me to tell others what to do but yet this baffles me every single time.

I can't believe this took an hour. Of my sleep :(
BAI!!

We spend too much time with our heads down and hearts closed

Cedele

Smoked Salmon and Brie Sandwich

Bread: Mixed Grain

Super guilty of buying magazines, knowing I have no time to read them. (And on top of that, been hunting for issue 59 of Frankie when I haven't finished my first ever copy of it)

Hi!
So my second asos order came! I love these two items even more, just that it came along with a disappointment. The WHITE shirt had brown stains on the back and I am just so so disappointed that they would send an item that was in obvious bad condition. I don't want to sound unforgiving but it's the time spent browsing, finally placing the order, two weeks wait and anticipation, the travel down to the post office for collection with even more anticipation and excitement (two days at that because I forgot the collection slip the first time) that build up to this immense disappointment >:-( I'd better get an exact replacement and not a "Sorry that item/ size is no longer available" because I love that top so much!!!

Just now after school, I went to get my lens changed because I am 25 degrees more myopic on each eye:( Then had lunch at Cedele and on the way back, I fell asleep on the bus until it reached the interchange. I was rudely awoken by a loud "OI!!" from the bus driver. And it took me a good few seconds to realize what was happening and where the OI came from. Sigh.. I mean..there was surely a nicer to way to wake someone up. Why can't people be nice. Not to mention my nasty experience at the mall toilet with the person who replaces the sanitary bins in the morning. REALLY don't want to get into it.

On a freakin happy note, TRIP TO KOREA CONFIRMED!!! Trying hard to keep it in till the exams are over but haven't been able to contain the excitement! The first day's going to be just me and Amelia while Ji Eun arrives the following night. So.. I foresee the overuse of broken korean, and getting lost every step of the way without the Korean on the first day. Still, STYLENANDA/ ALL THAT CLOTHES AND SHOES/ MYEONGDONG/ HONGDAE/ DONGDAEMUN/ CUBE CAFE AND HOPEFULLY NAMSAN TOWER AND HANGANG, WE COMING FOR YOU~

For now, I need to take a nap before the grind goes on. There are no TGIFs. #lifeofastudent

Much needed holiday

Bratwursts// Tomatoes// Potato Salad// Mushroom Risotto

 

Hello!

Prepared dinner with mom yesterday for the guests Pei Wen and Tiande hehe they're mom's cousins.

Second time preparing the Mushroom Risotto and it was so much better than the first. I think I am now confident of cooking this dish any time.

 

The weekend has been...as good as it looked in the previous post but unfortunately stressful at the same time. I always have this inner contemplation (almost war) between "I can handle stress well" and "I cannot handle stress at all". There are times where I could plan my agenda well and get by everything steadily. But on some days, I just cram all the things to be done in my mind and breakdown and cry because it feels like there's too much to be done. The fear of not being able to complete stuff. Like to this day I am unsure of my ability to cope with stress. And all these stress I put unto myself. My mom doesn't give me stress. My family doesn't give me stress. They're the "Just do your best!!!" kind of people.

 

On Friday at the hotel, I spent almost the entire day completing one assignment (did I mention?), that I couldn't revise for a test on Monday. On Saturday, I made the wrong decision of going out when I really should have stayed home to study. So nearing the end of the day I just felt like I did a really wrong thing and felt really terrible. On Sunday, I woke up really early to revise but it was Mother's Day and Aunt's Birthday too so there was celebratory lunch and dinner. And the night before I was preparing cards for mom and aunt past midnight before I revised a little then went to bed. So throughout this weekend I think I broke down and cried enough times for this muscle under my left eye to be aching yesterday and today. No wonder they said frowning required more muscles than smiling. I'm sure crying requires so much more. Then came Monday and the test was just a fill in the blanks simple shit that wasn't worth any stress at all. But then again, good that I didn't know and went and studied the topic thoroughly.

 

Today's like a really much much needed holiday for me to catch up on revising some work. SO I won't constantly feel like I'm falling behind. A lecture quiz this Friday covering a big chunk so I'm off to load more stress onto myself. Just hopefully I can cope with it this time.

 

By the way, HAPPY BELATED MOTHER'S DAY to every single mommy! It's amazing the sacrifices they make for us. I want to say that they're the most selfless beings out there. (At least to their own children)

Okay byeeee:)
