12 Mar ’16 : Zootopia with Devi

An outing with  Devi today! We arranged to meet at 3pm in Somerset to shop for intern clothing since I did not buy enough clothing to last me a week yet (especially tops).

My mom had to go Waterway Point with my relatives so we had to part from home. This is her face when she thinks she cannot go shopping with her daughter on a Saturday.

So I waited for Devi at 313@Somerset. When she arrived, I asked to go to Emerald Hill which is just across the street. I heard about it online. It’s a place where Peranakan-styled shophouses were. It is a popular insta spot because of the artsy architecture you hardly will see in modern Singapore.

When I reached there, I was actually surprised to see the number of both tourists and locals all taking photos of the area. I knew it was popular but to see photographers everywhere I was shocked. Like really no one is there not taking photos.

After, we went to Forever21 back at 313 Somerset. Followed by H&M.

Then, we thought we should just go to Dhoby Ghaut since Devi wanted to buy a dress from Dorothy Perkins at Plaza Singagpura.

She got her dress and then Vivian asked where were we. We told her we were at Plaza Singapura but I guess she was tired of that place so she told us she won’t be coming to meet us…

With nothing to do left, we decided to watch a movie. But before that, we went to Eighteen Chefs at The Cathay for dinner.

I got myself waffles which I thought was worth it for it’s presentation. $6~ Devi and I also shared fries!

We were hesitating between How To Be Single and Zootopia. I actually wanted How To Be Single but Devi said Zootopia was strongly recomended by her friends. So we went ahead with Zootopia. Because it’s always better to hear from those who already watched.

Very excited! Walking to the movie theatre with a bunch of kids…

Really did not regret choosing Zootopia. It’s very funny and it made me like cartoons more. It’s so light-hearted and the feeling of leaving the theatre after watching it is very shiok. You keep thinking of the movie over and over again. I like Judy and the sloth ironically named Flash LOL Never laughed that hard before. Nearly could not breathe over the sloth scene. HAHA there was this jumpscare scene when Nick and Judy breached the prison where the violent victims were held captive. I yelled and no one else did. Don’t know how embarassed I was back there HAHA.

I think after today, I find myself liking extreme movies. Either very comedic or very dark/scary. No in betweens. Maybe because I get to express extreme feelings which I don’t usually do everyday. Thrill is so hard to come by. And laughter too. Such movies makes my heart pump faster since either it’s too funny or too scary. The feeling is very good.

We went home right after the movie as it was already 9pm… Goodbye…

I’d like to watch another cartoon again. I saw the trailer for Pets before Zootopia screened in the theatre and I thought it seemed pretty funny and quirky. Next time perhaps!

25 Feb ’16 : Just Acia & Kbox after exams

Exams are finally over! Wooo!!!

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Walking to the bus stop now! We wanted to go to Suntec Teo Heng at 1pm for their 3 hour karaoke special. But no one in our group went to book. Everyone assumed someone else would book the day before but we were all too busy studying. Vivian assumed I would book because I’m the maknae…

We went to call Suntec Teo Heng but they told us that 1 to 4pm is a little too rush given that we were still in school at 12.30pm. We cannot start later than 1.15pm for the 3 hour special but offered us 2 to 4pm but the hourly rate won’t be of the same as the 3 hour special. He told us that after 4pm cannot. Not sure he meant if there are no more slots after 4pm or that there are no 5pm – 8pm special that day. So we tried Hotel Rendesvous Teo Heng branch. Line was engaged for so long, we kinda gave up.


We decided on Just Acia on the bus! It’s been a long time since I had Just Acia which was in 2011/2012. So this would be my 2nd try. Excited for their free flow of drinks and ice cream/froyo with any main course purchased.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

We first took the free flow items first while waiting for our orders to arrive. I ordered Fish and Chips! I took a cup of froyo (look at how beautifully the froyo swirled)  as well as a cup of Strawberry Freeze. The froyo was good! It wasn’t that sour and flavour is mild enough for a weak stomach.

Strawberry Freeze was very sour though. Reckon I’ll take that again.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

The dumplings Vivian and I shared. Dumpling was good! I love dumplings that doesn’t have much vegetables in it. But the sauce tasted like vinegar and gave the dumplings a sour taste to it which I didn’t quite like.

Image and video hosting by TinyPicZenia’s spicy chicken!

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Lyka’s ebi tomato pasta! Looks quite nice… Maybe I’ll get that next time I come to Just Acia.

My Fish and Chips came but there was so much french fries! The fish has lots of crispy skin but flesh was quite little. Maybe it’s just me who don’t like the crispy breaded skin. But the french fries was delicious. It might be thin but the salt made it good and it’s also soft!

After the main course, we went back to taking the desserts and drinks for the 2nd round. I this time took Hot Chocolate and another cup of froyo. I initially wanted ice cream this time but none of the flavours appealed to me except the Strawberry but I really felt like eating the plain good froyo again. HAHAH this Lyka told me that the froyo wouldn’t be so plain if I added chocolate/cocoa powder on it. I was like “HAHAHA got such thing there?” Lyka pointed out a container where the soya sauce, salt and pepper was also placed in. So i tried some, trusting Lyka after she said Rachel told her it was Cocoa powder and had already put some in her drink. Thankfully I put only a bit on the side of my froyo. The colour was oddly greyish-purple. Then I kinda guessed it was the powder that people put on their fruits. HAHAH thanks Rachel… But it was so funny the whole incident!


Guess what? We tried calling Teo Heng again and it was engaged when I called but the moment someone else called in went through. HAHAH very funny I tried so many times to call through to no avail but someone else call immediately went through… sigh… HAHAHA at least we finally booked ourselves a room at 5pm just nearby at Rendezvous Hotel.

After that we went to Plaza Singapura to shop for intern clothing. When Devi went to withdrew money at the bank, we waited outside after coming out of the washroom. Can’t believe we saw Zhang Yaodong in the bank queuing up. This Nicole aiyo can’t be more discreet in her spying…

So pretty… the lighting~

We then went to Uniqlo to shop for intern clothing. We also went to Innisfree to look around. I wanted to buy the nail polish but saving money is my top priority right now… to get my camera.

After karaoke (finally with Devi!), we decided to go to SOTA to have dinner at this Korean restaurant. We initially went for bingsoo but most of us decided to eat other food there such as ramen.

5 Feb ’16 : Last Day of Year 2

FIT is finally over! Yay to no more presentations for the semester! And until another 9 months til presentation season starts again the semester after internship! But that means I will only be left with that semester to brush up my presentation skills. 2 out of 3 years into poly life and my presentation has not improved with experience and that is a pity… Hopefully internship will give me more confidence since I will be out of my comfort zone and not be a scaredy cat.

Today marks the end of my 2nd year in poly… Its been 2 years… time passes so quickly… It’s been a pleasure as our 2nd year was much more adventurous than the 1st. We went out so much and made so much memories in our 2nd year. Rachel, Nicole and I went to CCA together and we might have been busy and stressed over the new CCA life but we had so much experiences together.  I knew much more of my friends and I am now more outgoing and sociable in the group. LOL so many of us have crushes this year and yall not shy to confess to all of us anymore. To be honest, I like us this year a lot. We are not the same 7 PRINCESSES we were in 1st year where we didn’t know much about each other. I am very happy that we are now more bonded and close to share secrets, share joy and also share woes.

Funny to think about it but I just realised this group of 7 is formed for our BMGT project no matter how much we disliked that project. Even our group chat was first named “BMGT Project” if I remember correctly. Bless the sky for putting all 7 of us in TA21 and somehow randomly forming this group for BMGT. It amazes me that a small act of allocation and choice really can affect your life.

If any one of us decides to not choose NP Accountancy

If any one of us were not allocated to NP Accountancy

If any one of us were not allocated to TA21 for our first semester

We would not be the same 7 princesses. I can’t say if that ever happens, would it be better or worse. But I like us for what we are now. We went though so much choices and paths and we all somehow became part of this group. Are we destined? It might be a random allocation by the school but to the 7 of us, it’s something that formed us. If any of us made the tiniest change in choice, we would not be what we are now. We can so easily be broken apart but here we are. From a group of 7 strangers randomly formed with the same goal in mind to 7 close friends that became part of our everyday lives. Fate brings people together no matter how far apart they may be.

Zenia:

To the STEP cool girl of the group, you are not that cool lor HAHA. To think I had a lady crush on you in Year 1. But you are cute I guess? Cool at times when you do work and embarrassing when you and Vivian do weird stuff in public. Spoiled your image sia…

Had fun singing with you on SMULE! You are pretty, your rap is good, you sing well and you dance well as well… You can draw anime as well… What can you not do sia? TSK… Stop making people feel bad about themselves please HAHAHA. No ah jkjk I think you are quite admirable. FUTURE GOALS!

My first impression of you : HAHA My first friend in poly besides my BAOC friends. Sat next to you in the first tutorial. It was BCOMM haha and I was late looking for the location. You happened to be the one sitting alone and you LOOKED friendly. So I sat next to you. You were, however, very quiet (more than me) and it was super awkward… Asked her what her name was she replied very softly I couldn’t hear. I was quite lost after tutorial. New environment, alone with so much time to spare during break. So I followed Zenia after tutorial HAHA end up she realised I following her then she told me she meeting her friend or something. Then I am like “Err… okay..”. Like she very quiet and scary so I had this impression of her being stand-offish. But when we got to know each other better, she became very lively and embarrassing at times. She’s not as cool and distant I thought she’d be. Dancing in the middle of nowhere with Vivian OMG. Where’s your chill HAHA! Anyways, she was as fearful and shy on her first day that’s why she kinda seemed quiet and unapproachable then.

Devi:

To the sexy one in the group, thanks for sharing the same interest as me. Watching horror movies with you have been fun. It’s not everyday that I meet someone who’s as crazy over horror films like me! And you are such a good speaker. I really hope to learn from you. You are confident and a quick thinker who can think on the spot. You have my respect hahaha!

My first impression of you : The girl who said she liked Red? I wasn’t very close to you back then when we were still 2 separate groups. You were our CEO in our BMGT project. You took initiative in leading the group and you are like woahhhh the way you handled the project seemed like some legit CEO/business woman. Glad I found out you liked horror movies too! I remember we started talking outside project because of our common interest in horror movies.

Wish you luck in getting over the past. There’s this Chinese saying: “If the old things don’t go, the new won’t come”. Don’t waste your time over people who aren’t worth your time. Your love will come one day!

Let’s watch horror movies together IN A CINEMA during internship okay?

Rachel:

To the prettiest one in the group, thanks for being my friend! It’s been fun going to CCA and out with you before CCAs with you and Nicole! Thanks for making CCA fun and make me commit to Guitar Ensemble. TSK always taking selfie… HAHA it’s funny that you like self-obsessed but somehow that is the thing that is endearing about you. You are confident about your looks and you are not afraid to show it. HAHA and be more positive! What happened to your POSITIVE RACHEL plan of yours? You are also not afraid to show your feelings and you are able to stand out for yourself. You won’t let people take advantage of you and I think that is a brave and courageous thing that many people including myself cowardly can’t do.

Thanks for introducing me to Chinese songs HAHA got one period because of you I really into Chinese songs. And sing more~ Hope to sing with you more often! Let’s go sing K again! Chinese songs! I practiced already, waiting for us to go together with Nicole again!

My first impression of you : You are the 2nd friend I made in poly. In our 2nd tutorial, we sat next to each other and then went to eat Saizeriya at Bukit Timah Plaza after school. I thought you looked like my CCA junior, Clare a lot. Even my best friend in secondary school said you resemble Clare (Now not so because your jaw shape changed after you put braces).

JY! Hope you manage to get your guy! You are just a tiny step away. Don’t give up just like that! It’s sad to just give up without actually knowing if you really stand a chance. But like what Nicole said, I shouldn’t give you too much hope. If really not successful, you still have us~ As well as your probably lots of admirers will support you as well! At least you know for sure and you can move on, right? Err… you think about it ba… May it ever be in your favour. I’ll pray for you and Nicole!

Nicole:

To the moodmaker of the gang~ Friend, I wanna thank you for making this group so much more cheerful. You are always easy-going and non-judgemental (maybe you are at times la but you always remind yourself not to judge others and I like that mindset of yours). You make others feel good about themselves and you make people feel like entrusting their secrets to you because you are trustworthy and sincere.

You know what I hate and you made sure I wouldn’t feel stressed when it came to that. You wouldn’t force me for something I don’t like and told me that you will wait for the day I feel okay to tackle the problem. You are also straightforward with your thoughts. I dislike it when people are fake and don’t tell me if I had offended them and go around telling others about something I did not know I had done. But you are not that. I know you are not that kind of person. I can talk to you so comfortably because I know you aren’t like that. Thank you for being that friend of mine that I can trust on.

One thing though is you have such a cheerful disposition, people don’t know if you are upset, angry or stressed. My first thoughts of you are that you are the kind that will never be angry at people, happy-go-lucky, never feel stressed. You told me you can be pissed at times and I am like “You got to be kidding me… As if you would.” It took me so long… As I got to know you better, I found myself understanding that you are not just a smiley face with only feelings of happiness. You are a human, with feelings of anger, sadness and stress at times. But some people that don’t know you well enough won’t know and think they can use this to their advantage. When you are upset, make sure you are obvious enough. Don’t smile like there’s nothing. Don’t ever let people pretend they don’t know how you feel or ignore your feelings. It’s good to be cheerful but don’t ever let that be your weak point.

OMG Why is this becoming so sad?!

My first impression of you: I didn’t really talk to you in the first few weeks of poly. So I also don’t really know eh… The girl who liked pink? HAHA during tutorials when they ask us to introduce ourselves I remember some girl keep saying she like pink, even the bag also bright pink. I think it was only when we got together for BMGT project I started to talk to you a little more. And when we were in the same S&W class in the 2nd semester, I start to feel super close to you. Then you joined me for CCA since our 3rd semester with Rachel…. HAHA BESTIE~

HAHAHA Nicole! I’ll pray for you and *inserts NAME THAT ONLY THE 7 OF US KNOW* every night! And when you and him get together, don’t forget to thank me! I’ll miss you!

Lyka:

To the most sociable person among all of us! Lyka~ Thanks for being such a cutie and peace maker. Wanna hug you right now… Now that I think about it I never heard you complain about anyone else before. You are a very nice person and you make me feel very comfortable with you. You care about your friends and you don’t leave anyone out. Super sociable HAHA and popular sia! You can talk to strangers somehow without feeling awkward at all. You also have high EQ. I always notice that when you introduce me to your family and friends, you will do a very proper introduction and help ease the awkwardness between us with you being the middleman. Thank you for being that friend that cares for other people’s feelings and tries her best not to hurt others in any way. You will also help anyone regardless what the person did to you. I think that is what I liked about you. You are damn nice…

Oh yeah I will miss your food… And your mom’s pudding!

My first impression of you : I also do not really know since we weren’t really together in the first couple of weeks. But I know of you as the girl from the Philippines who speaks in perfect Singlish accent. Oh! And the girl who loves purple that her many of her stuff were purple in colour and even her username had the word purple in it. You were the leader besides Devi during our BMGT project discussions because you will always bring us together and make things organised.

But just like Nicole, don’t smile even when you are upset. Make sure your emotions are known or else people will just think you are always happy and will never care about how you feel. Just like how you care about people’s feelings, I hope people will care for yours as well.

STAY CUTE LYKAAAA~ LOVE YOUUUUUUU~ SARANGHAE~

Vivian:

To the loudest chingu in the group, thanks for being our eomma (LOL Shouldn’t that be Zenia? HAHA). You, who scoops us food when we go out and eat. You, who books rooms for our breaks every single time. I kinda feel bad that I overlooked that and didn’t appreciate you enough. Thank you, Vivian!

You are a very straightforward person. You will totally voice out your opinions if you don’t like it. You will trash out with the person when you are offended. You have this sense of justice. It might not even be your problem but you will help us out when we needed it.

I still remember got this time HAHA I actually went to ask the Tax teacher question after my BCOMM impromptu speech about clarifying doubts whether it’s a stupid question anot. You were beside me and you then said something along the lines of “See. Ask questions is not that tough.” I know it’s actually nothing but I don’t know why I felt encouraged by what you said. Thanks~

My first impression of you : You were my 3rd friend I made after Zenia and Rachel. I still remember Rachel and me were partners in the 2nd tutorial then you were near us so we joined you. Then we were 3 for the whole of 2nd week until BMGT project started then we joined Lyka, Nicole, Devi and Zenia. HAHA I first thought you very shy that’s why you very quiet and soft. But now I know… NOW I KNOW… You are the total opposite sia HAHA. Now then I know you can be shy when you just meet someone but after a while, you’ll be warmer with that person. So I guess we melted your icy exterior of a heart~ Then we went to Korean Diploma Plus classes together for first semester and current as well. Pro in Korean sia… Still want to converse in Korean also HAHA I not as good as you la.

Vivian eomma~ 잘 부탁해~

So I am finally home! I still couldn’t upload any photos to the WordPress Media Library at all. I found out that I used up 3GB of the space given to me. Sigh… So I had to add photos by URL. I considered deleting the photos I already attatched to the posts, in the media library. But that would mean deleting the URL WordPress created when I upload photos into the media library and hence, photos on my blog would be broken.

So I found out I can use Photobucket to upload these photos and get URL links for them. Then I paste these links to add photos to my blog. That would be quite troublesome as I had to save these photos to Dropbox from my phone and then download them from Dropbox in my computer. I will then upload these photos to photobucket and add the links of the photos one by one to the blog post. Not to mention my internet always hang recently. Maybe I will just blog when I really have time… Otherwise, I will have to delay the posts like this one.

Another way is to upload these photos to Twitter from my phone and those photos have a URL link. I will use this when I have only a few photos to upload and that they look nice to be posted on Twitter HAHA. Or I can go to Tinypic to upload one by one. At least that doesn’t use up my limited storage space on Photobucket.


Went to Seletar Mall with mom to get CNY stuff from NTUC supermarket. Bought so many food… My mom oddly suggested that we buy the mandoo we saw in the frozen section. I thought my mom don’t like processed food LOL but oh well just try! Never tried Korean dumplings before anyway.

We then had Macs for supper with my dad! Went back super late around 12am at night… Sleepyyyyyyy~~~

I’ll end off with a quote,

We went for Internship briefing at 5pm! Excited yet scared at the same time. Used to be very afraid as it won’t be my usual lifestyle. Going to work everyday, strict environment, not going to school on a weekday… The sense of normalcy is not there… But not sure why now I feel excited. Probably because someone I know, Irena, is going to be with me for the 6 months and my friends and I all planned to meet once every fortnightly on Fridays after work. Kinda excited now and more assured!

Nicole and I have the same NP internship supervisor! Even more assured! I just need do my best. They look more at effort and enthusiasm. Hoping to eat with the burdenz during lunch since we all in central area!

29 Jan ’16 : Bingsoo after school

It’s been a good day shooting everyone’s unglams hehehe!


On my way to Sengkang MRT to meet my mom.

Finally got to try the omelette but I was disappointed… A little bland… But cream of carrot was great! So is the fries!

My mom wanted to get CNY cookies from Mr Bean but then she realised Mr Bean is at Compass Point which is already closed, not in Seletar Mall. So we didn’t get any… She only wants cookies from Mr Bean becaase of the set and the brand…

We went to NTUC to buy greoceries for lunch the next day. Got myself a refill of my cleansing foam which I think I will be continuing to use until I get sick of it. It doesn’t make my skin itch and red so yeah…

snapchat-202332024123319066.jpg

Mom and I got these from the shop I trimmed my eyebrows for CNY. Clay mask because our skin is oily and the blackhead stickers because those I currently have somehow doesn’t stick at all oddly because it used to work.

5 Jan ’16 : RFA presentation + Secret Santa Day Out

Felt nervous for RFA presentation and receiving CT papers back.

Thank God RFA presentation is over. Teacher asked some questions and it turned out we didn’t apply the policies to the business properly… At least it’s over…

CT RFA paper was quite okay too. I didn’t just pass as usual. 40.5/50 isn’t high but it isn’t low too so *pat my shoulders* keep up the good work!💪

We decided to skip RFA lecture later in the he afternoon to go out for lunch. 😂 Before that, I followed Devi to SDAR office at poolside where she needed to show her henna skills for approval to sell henna services at a bazaar.

image

So pretty the view…

The overhead bridge to loft.

Finding where the SDAR office is since the one here is the reception area, not the office.

Walking to the SDAR office.

After the showcase! Now looking for the rest of the group.

image

On the bus to Orchard! As you can see… Nicole is sleeping…

image

We went around looking for a place where everyone can eat. Devi’s vegetarian so we all decided on Saizeriya.

image

Waiting… I got myself a lunch set of:
-grilled pork with potatoes, corn and egg
-salad
-rice
-drink flow

All for $7.90.

image

Got myself Hot Milo and salad arrived.

image

So much for $8…

image

Secret santa finally! Turned out Devi knew who her secret santa was. And I kinda guessed she knew it was me HAHAHA

Vivian is my secret santa! I don’t know why but I got the vibe that she’s my secret santa even she is “lowkey” as quoted from her. Maybe because she keep posting her Xmas wrapping on snapchat and insta I got that thought “Maybe is mine LOL”. Then I got the feeling she won’t look at me at all when we talk about Secret santa like a bit weird… I didnt think much about it but I see her gift wrap until so nice I was hoping it’s mine and IT IS MINE! Thank you so much Vivian!

On the way back to school…

We stopped by Clementi Mall to go toilet then we saw Macs😊

So they treated themselves with ice cream. Didn’t know they changed the vanilla cone to Banana cone.

I wanted curly fries but lazy to queue up so…

We then walked behind the mall and then back to the mall to digest the food with some walking.

Guitar was great. Finally know how to bar the frets. Must sit straight so hands somehow more comfortable to bar the frets since the arm is pushed forward when sitting straight.

image

Liked the gifts! Thanks Vivian! Dad and I also bought curly fries for supper because I was yearning for it since Macs in the afternoon.

19 Dec 2015 : Bcomm Photoshoot

Woke up feeling very nervous. Mom wanted to put my makeup on for me but I figured she will put on super heavy makeup on me just like last year at my cousin’s wedding which I ended up looking like a panda because of the black eye makeup. Thanks mom but there will be professional makeup artists in school that will help!😅

image

Waiting for the rest to arrive.

We went to Blk 71, a block we hadn’t been to. We went to the assigned room and oddly, no one else except us were there even at 9.30am. We looked around and realised our makeup room is in another room. There were different rooms for different purposes. Different makeup rooms, a room for hair and another room for photo-taking.

We already had our Base makeup done so we had either the professional makeup artists to do the rest or seek Vivian and Devi’s expertise.

Rachel, Nicole and me went to the makeup artists instead as we thought they had more makeup items and more experience. (Sorry Vivian and Devi😆) Zenia and Lyka had their makeup done by Vivian and Devi.

We then had our hair done in a room opposite. I saw many whose hair were overly done which freaked me out as I rather have my current hair than such overwhelming and exaggerated hairdo. And somemore got hair spray.

image

This is after my hair makeover. It’s not that bad as I expected but rather, so nice. So glad the lady who did my hair didn’t puff up my hair and make it look so unnatural. She actually told me to not pin up my hair and do centre parting to make my face slimmer because of my round face.

image

image

Who’s this?!🙊Makeup really suits me but I can’t be getting used to doing such things.

We took turns to do a final check with the artist in charge. She asked for my blazer which I didn’t have one. So she asked me to choose from those at the back. I casually took one and just nice, it fits (okay maybe it was a tad tight but it still fits!).

She said I had a nice, sweet smile (really ah? I thought I always come off as not smiling…) and somehow I was happy to hear that since I never heard anything like that about the way I smile. She told Zenia who was behind me to help keep my hair in check as my hair is threatening to cover my eyes. And I was to make sure Zenia’s hair curls were neat.

Photo didn’t turn out nice though as I wasn’t a natural in taking photographs. 😣 I look like I was forced to smile and can see my double chin… Oh well never mind…

And this Rachel omg HAHAHA! Asked for her eye to be edited bigger. Then I realised it’s because her best photo had one of her eye nearly blinking which made her eyes look uneven. So she wanted the blinking eye to be made larger to balance out.

Nicole’s eye makeup was so smoky👍 but her hair was so puffed up…

Vivian and Devi looks the same but prettier probably because they wore makeup before and their hair wasn’t much of a difference but better looking.

Zenia and Rachel had their hair very curled up at the fringe and ends. I like their curls, look so Korean/Japanese. To Rachel who got her eyebrows trimmed, you look better la don’t be so sad.

Lyka… why you cut short your hair so bravely just before photoshoot?  But 👍! You look more neater and chic!

Devi left early because she had something else on…

image

Sigh… put makeup even prettier than her usual pretty. 叫人妒忌. Rachel…

image

“GOT BEE AH?!” We ran screaming like no reputation but never mind no one was around😆. That place always got this huge black bee but we didn’t think about it then. Huge as in really the hugest unimaginable size of a bee.

Vivian looked like our makeup manager HAHAHAHHAHA We joked about that because vivian was wearing this tote bag along with another sling bag as if she carrying so many makeup stuff with her. Then vivian said:

Zenia would be the main Rapper, guitarist and lead dancer

Vivian the main dancer (and pianist)

Rachel the Visual, vocal and guitarist

Nicole the guitarist (and moodmaker)

Lyka the guitarist

I’m the main vocal and guitarist

I know Devi can sing and dance too.

We can form girl group haha 7 princesses! *vomits*

image

So we were off to Causeway Point to have lunch.

旧的不去, 新的不来… Yall know what I mean right, Burden chingus?

But really, yall keep saying I today look pretty, make me feel very happy. Finally got people besides my mom compliment me. Whether or not that’s true. But thanks guys! The confident feeling for just that few hours was really great!

image

Ajisen Ramen for dinner. Nicole and I ordered the same dish. Hawaiian Chicken Pizza rice set with a side dish and drink for $15.90++. I got myself hot tea which was so shiok to drink. Feel cleaner. Detox.

The pizza rice is very delicious because of the cheese mayonnaise. 👍 We chose the right dish, Nicole!

We shared our side dishes among the 6 of us. (Sadly Devi couldn’t come)

image

image

image

image

image

We walked around the mall. One stop was uniqlo which I saw this white Mickley Mouse hoodie sweatshirt for $19.90 but don’t have my size. Too big for me.

image

And then we went to Factorie. I tried this white long sleeved cropped top and a red beanie since I didn’t get one on Thursday. The white sleeved top was too small for me. Lazy to queue up again and I figured it was the cutting as well which wasn’t suitable for me. So I just got myself the beanie. Might as well since its only retailing at $4.95 while at other shops they are selling at above $15. Lyka got this high waisted shorts which felt comfortable to the touch and it’s cheap at $14.90 (original price at $34.90). I wanted a particular high waisted short of a darker denim colour but it was not discounted. Lyka’s discounted one however was only of that lighter shade hence I didn’t get myself that.

Finally it was time for the rest to go. My mom’s coming to where I was to shop as well since got direct bus from my house. So I waited for her at the bus interchange.

My mom said I looked pretty (awww thanks mom).💕🙆 She said I looked mysterious in person than the photo I showed her of myself.

image

image

Mom’s hungry so we had shengji to munch a little. The best siew mai I  ever tried. They put the whole prawn in, making it chewy and juicy.

Mom also wanted to ESPRIT, the usual haunt for her again.

Great day!

17 Dec 2015 : Common Tests are Over

After days of mugging, we’re finally done with common tests!

With that burden off our backs, we gave ourselves a little reward – An Orchard Road getaway for the rest of the day!

image

We got off the bus right here after a long bus ride standing.

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

image

We crossed over to 313@Somerset to have our bingsoo!

image

image

313@Somerset had lots of cafe/bars near the side entrance. Liking the zen feel!

image

We shopped at Forever21 and I spotted this white collared cropped blouse but it’s still quite long for me despite it being a cropped top. I think I’m having a liking for plain, white long sleeved cropped top/blouse these days. I saw a cheap one on Zalora but I’m kinda afraid of buying clothing online because it might not be suitable for me and I can’t try before ordering… So I’ll keep my eyes open for such tops!

image

After Forever21, we made our way to the bingsoo store. We waited quite a while before getting a seat in the packed cafe.

image

image

Spot the couples! The store is playing kpop songs such as TWICE’s I must be Crazy and iKon’s Rhytmn Ta and Apology I think?

image

Our Bingsoo arrived! Mix of 3 flavours:

*Chocolate Oreo Banana
*Green tea with red beans
*And lastly a korean version of something similar to our muah chee

My favourite was the chocolate Oreo Banana because of the Oreo crunch within the shaved ice. 😊 And it’s quite cheap if we order the $23 bowl to be shared by 7!

We went to The Editor’s Market one floor down. I never herd of it but the price system in the shop is quite unique. All items are priced equally at $35. 3 items bought and each will be at $30. 6 items at $25 each. It is still nonetheless expensive. Great if friends can share the 6 items discount with you. Because no way am I spending on 6 items… Not sure about the quality but I spotted another item I liked. A grey cropped sweater with a blouse underneath it. The item Nicole liked as well. Spending $35 on that still didn’t feel right… I’ll look elsewhere for such designs… 😟

image

image

image

Snowman spotted and a crazy woman spotted at Orchard Gateway.

image

image

We saw The Editor’s Market at Orchard Gateway as well. They were having a move out sale right now where they are selling every item at $15. A pity the sweater piece wasn’t there… I saw, however, a white long sleeved cropped top that I wanted but was, however, too short. Nicole tried this white dress which suited her so well but she say her tummy can see. 😒 Rach, Devi and Zenia also tried clothes. Zenia tried the white cropped top I wanted but it was too short for her too as well.

We ended up not buying anything from there. We decided to go Scape to look for cheaper buys.

Zenia, Rachel and I finally bought a skirt each at Scape. I’ve always liked the origami skorts but I couldn’t find it anywhere or otherwise, it’s expensive. I bought size M though since that was the largest. However, there’s no fitting room and hence, I couldn’t try it until I buy it. I’ll just think of it as a motivation to lose weight to fit into that! $13 spent!

Lyka left for mass at church… Awww goodbye Lykaaaa😕

We went back to Orchard Gateway to have dinner at Saizeriya. We spent a way longer time waiting for seats here than at the bingsoo store earlier. Especially when we had to wait for a table of 6.

At long last, we got our table and immediately ordered since we already had our orders in mind.
image

Vivian and Rachel’s escargots… 😖

image

I ordered seafood chowder (portion was painfully small), rice and potato omelette with bacon and corn. $9.30 altogether but I was stuffed.

image

Nicole had to go at 8.30pm since she have curfew. 가지마😣😣😣

We walked towards Orchard MRT but that walking turned into an extra 2 hour shopping session. 😂

We walked along the streets admiring the lights and christmas decorations.

image

image
image

image

We stopped by Ferrero Rocher shop just to take a look. It looks so European and classy.

image

image

image

image

image

We headed to ION where we saw the prettiest Christmas lights ever.

image

image

image

image

image

image
image
image

image
Stars shine brightest in the darkest sky and colours are most vibrant in the deepest black.
image
image

image

image
We went into the Christmas tree. Here’s how it looks like in it…
image
image

The chandelier as I call it rotates so beautifully.
image

Hey!!!
image
We went into ION and we’re mesmerised by the grand branded shops we knew we were not at the level at.
image

image

Too high class for us…

At 9.20pm, we went to H&M in ION. All of us went to try clothes but only Vivian, Rachel and me bought.
image

I was contemplating a red checkered cropped blouse and this green beanie. I had to be practical and chose the checkered blouse since its not everyday I find a shorter checkered blouse and I can always find a cheaper beanie elsewhere.

We left for home at 10.30pm which is the latest I ever went home from outings with friends. My mom knew I just finished my exams so she forgave me😊

image

The items I bought today! $37.90 altogether. Not inclusive of bingsoo and dinner. Oh well… since I hardly spend much daily… Need to start saving money!

It’s been a long day and I’m tired but yayyy we’re going out again tomorrow. Rachel, Nicole and Vivian won’t be going for sure though… 😣

Hope tomorrow will be a good day!👍

4 Dec 2015 : Arts Fiesta Buffet dinner

image

Morning! It’s been a “long” time since I blogged. Actually it’s just 6 days but really nothing to blog about since I’ve been staying at home most of the days.

Receiving my Eyeem payout was such a mood maker this morning. I got $6.80 SGD transferred to my PayPal account for the sale of one of my pictures. Satisfying! The only money I feel happy earning!

Devi and I left for makan place for lunch takeaway after FIT tutorial. Rachel and Nicole going home for the afternoon but they promised to be back for cca.😉

image

image

image

Downloaded a newly released free preset on VSCO! So decided to try it!

Devi had Subway for lunch while I had chips (unhealthy…) and cheese bread for my brunch.

image

Pretty Deviii

image

Took a long nap after eating while devi already started on her revision… 😧

We moved to the other side of blk 58 since it was so hot at where we were at even though it was starting to get cooler.

Then 2 girls came to us to play this “don’t forget the lyrics” Christmas edition game with us to promote an event during Christmas.  Lol at devi answering the blanks so quickly. It’s quite interesting but paying 15 dollars for it made me hesitant. Moreover it’s outside school…

We continued with studying until Devi had to go to meet her friend.

image

image

image

Devi looked like lady in Paris with this dress. Awww goodbye…

So while waiting for Nicole to come back, I did CT papers and writing my blog until here…

5.40pm

Met Nicole at Blk 56! Went to the dinner at Blk 22 together. We arrives feeling anxious since we were late and we didn’t know if we could just enter. Turns out they didn’t even take attendance.😂

Yingying asked me if I put makeup today because I looked different. Was shocked but happy to hear that HAHAHA but does that mean I look worse before? But funny thing is I only put on tinted lip balm. Maybe is just her eyes?

image
Buffet! FINALLY! I expected the bee hoon to be nice so I took more of that. But it wasn’t… However, everything else was so delicious especially the teriyaki chicken. It was a great meal and I’m thankful to have this!
image

2nd round shared with Nicole. Since we wanted only a bit more…
image
HAHAHAHHAHA Nicole😉
image
We had a group shot after that! Yayy to insta print outs!

image

Lucky draw session began and omg we were just joking about if Rachel got called, Nicole will help her collect the prize. Then Rachel really got called out among so many people that came for the dinner.

Okay okay…

Listen to this!

We later heard the MC mention Indian Cultural Club I casually said “Devi?” and he really called out “Sovandalah Devi”. What’s with this mouth of mine?! I should have said myself… Those that didn’t come or had already left got the prize…😒 Nicole and me eh?

So Rach got herself 2 movie vouchers! Hehehe I know who you want to give the other voucher too. Don’t deny. We all know. Good luck to yall 2! Nicole and me very happy for you😉 *ship ship*

We went straight to CCA after that. Today’s CCA session was quite okay… at least better than last session. Probably because we moved on to other songs. Away from STAND BY ME…

This Rachel omg HAHAHA! Her friend left a charger in one of the level 6 classrooms in Blk 56. Rachel asked us to follow and we went with her. I thought that was so thrilling but blk 56 ended up still lit up with lights. I expected the block to be dark because I didn’t think anyone would have classes at 10pm.

Everything was fine. Rachel kept telling me not to scare them but I think I’m the only scared one. 😂 There are still some people in some classrooms.

It was only until we reached the unlit classroom her friend left her charger at we got scared. I never liked opening the door of a dark room first but why did I? *points at Rachel* We ended up in the wrong class since the charger was at the class next door.

So here’s to another switching off of lights and running out and then fearfully entering another unlit class. 😣

We took the charger and left!

P.S. To Rachel’s friend, share your potato balls with Nicole and me too HAHAHA

image

Supper! Best baked potatoes from Clementi! The mayonnaise tastes like mild cod liver emulsion with bits of ham in it. Sourish sweet!

Finally watched The Dream Makers Season 2 first episode today. How long I’ve been waiting?! I kinda miss Yu Fan, Yao-Zhu Kang Li and most of all, Du Zhan Peng. Without them, it’s not as interesting as first season. Maybe my expectations is too high but I felt disappointed with the episode today.

image

image

Yayy the stuff Flora and I bought from Zalora reached! That’s so fast. We just ordered yesterday. Can’t wait to get my hands on it! Will be getting them from her next Saturday.

27 Nov 2015 : Zenia’s 1st CCA session with us

image

I just realised I keep taking the same photos nearly everyday on the way to school. I mean I knew but it’s only today that I realised I’ve been taking too MANY of the same kind of photos. The impact that can only be felt today for no reasons…

Woke up having a leg cramp. Got out of bed after messaging and jiggling my leg. Hurts… 😣

So my dad fetched me to school today. I could actually choose if I wanted to take bus but that meant lesser time for my dad and I to sleep since my dad would have no excuse to stay home longer and fetch me.

Reached school quite early though… 9.20am…

image

FIT tutorial we quickly got over it and ended with article consultation. Was so hard to find the article regarding International Trade problems faced by a particular company restricted to articles dating after 1 July 2015. We ended up having takeaway lunch (RACH, DEVI & me from TEAM SALAD) in the same classroom since no one is using it after us anyway.

Tax tutorial was okay but we had graded classwork and I was the last to finish… Teacher was always going to my table since I needed quite a lot of help. Thankfully, somehow that Bcomm impromptu speech I spoke kind of gave me the courage to ask her questions (whether or not they sound stupid). I may be the last but I felt so happy and productive today cos I finally understood more of Taxation.

image

Spent the 2 hours break doing continuing to find the suitable article and doing half of next week’s   FIT tutorial on Foreign exchange management.  The topic is actually quite nice to do. Like it make sense to me.

Having dinner with Zenia, Nicole and Rachel right now! 3 of them all eating Ice Cream waffle tsk so unhealthy. Especially this Rachel who ate so healthily for lunch (Team salad) now eating so much sugar. HAHAHA Then there’s Zenia who likes to eat in a high class manner.
And Nicole who decided to learn from her.

image

image

image

image

On our way to CCA! It was 6.50pm but the sky is so dark already. Dark grey clouds… Going to rain…

During CCA, we convinced Shau Kiat, the student conductor that Zenia can learn the chords so she can stay in prime, the same guitar section as us. So yayyy!!!

Zenia had a hard time adapting… YOU see! That’s what happens when Lyka and you keep skipping freshie classes. But don’t worry! It’s not impossible. Just look at me, Rachel and Nicole. We started to commit last semester and we overcame the Arts Fiesta concert. The more you skip, the more you miss out so don’t be scared and start skipping even more pleaseee. Let’s just try for the family concert. Haha still remember how Rachel and Nicole were contemplating not participating in the Arts Fiesta concert when they first joined the main ensemble. And it’s thank to them that I wanted to commit to guitar too. Without them, I wouldn’t be where I am now. (I’m not in a very great place now with my skills at the moment but I can proudly say we improved a lot.)

And Mr Yeo today is so random omg he started teaching us how to know what day is whichever date and how to multiply numbers easily. Haha I don’t know eh a bit no use but he very funny haha! I’m very sure there’s another way to know what day is what date without checking the calendar and memorising so many numbers. But I forgot how to.

At 9.30pm we left for home. Finally! I felt my head ache so I felt very moody…

On the way home, it got worse and I tried to take a nap but I couldn’t with the car moving.

So I immediately laid on the sofa to sleep as soon as I got home. My mom didn’t wake me up because she knew I felt sick. Usually, she would scold me if I did that and told me to just bath so I can sleep for real after that. She took my temperature and it was 35.5 degrees. I took panadol and took a bath.

A bath really makes a whole lot of difference. I came out feeling so much better and my appetite came back. I ate and filled my stomach.

My mom asked if I ate my dinner to which I said no. Because the salad kinda ruined my appetite the entire day. I knew I was hungry but I couldn’t bring myself to eat.

After posting this, I’m gonna sleep before the headache comes back again. See ya!!!
