Parents are invincible

Feb. 12th, 2012 | 12:39 am

Papa is running a fever now ): somehow it feels strange when parents are the ones to fall sick, because us children are the ones who are supposed to, and then they will be the ones taking care of us. and as i grew older, i came to understand that parents are humans and inevitably will fall sick but yet, i still dont expect them to. because they are the adults. loool its like when young children treat teachers as the people who knows everything and they can never be wrong. i still remember an incident when i was in kindergarten where i insisted quite righteously to do certain things the way i wanted to because 'my teacher says so'. The power of adults on young minds can be rather marvelous and yet dangerous at the same time. Hope papa recovers soon! Sunday routines will be derailed and weird if papa stays home the whole day ):

driving finally ((:

Feb. 10th, 2012 | 01:52 am

A week of break before the final attachment starts! kind of dreading it as i dont have a good feeling about how my attachment is going to turn out and yet on the other hand, when the attachment is coming to an end, it would mean im finally able to start working! and earning for myself and the future. 

This was the most fulfilling one week break out of so so many ^.^ secured interviews and a job within two days, did quite a significant part of an assignment, started on 2 lessons of driving and passed my final theory evaluation. Driving was pretty fun! the first instructor i had seemed semi drunk, with him mumbling constantly and repeatedly bringing up the point that i stay in a condo. Really dislike it a lot when people assume that im rich simply judging by where i stay. it doesnt mean that i have an extensive pool of financial resources that i can tap on to anytime i want. and my parents worked hard over the years for us to stay where we are now. The second instructor was rather nice! :D he wasnt unhappy when i made it to the centre about 10 mins late :X my lesson fees... T.T he was so much better than the first and clarified a lot of doubts i had from the first lesson. teehee, cant help pretending im in a mario kart game when i was driving around the circuit xD next lesson would be on the road o.o 

so hungry and sleepy now )):

Orange thimble and Drips cafe! :D

Jan. 12th, 2012 | 06:50 pm

Just gotten my PDL! finally can start on practical lessons :D Went for basic theory test last week which i was so worried for but in the end i managed to get 49/50 for it teeheehee. Settled the dates for final theory lessons and test too and the account is depleting in money )): hopefully my allowance for the next fews weeks and the upcoming angbao money will be able to sustain me until i start working.

Met up with Xiuhui yesterday after school for dinner at orange thimble and drips cafe! (: Orange thimble is nice as ever and drips is rather nice as well :D but the aircon at drips was so cold my teeth were chattering. Love the time nuaing on the couch and having our meals while talking about random stuff <3


Earl grey tea with BBC sandwiches and shepard's pie for dinner :D The bread itself was tasty and fragant! 


Xiuhui! hahaha, my fringe is like ah wang .__. 


Next stop was Drips cafe for their desserts! (: First time we're at the cafe, which happens to be located near orange thimble (:




It was nearing closing time when we got there and not much desserts choices were left but we managed to get the last raspberry tart :D


Their menu on chalkboards


Angbaos! hahaha they have pictures of food on them 


Hello fatty gingy :D


Raspberry and kiwi fruit tart! :D 


Apple and cinnamon tart :D

Both were rather nice! The fruits and crusts were yummy ((:


Hello xiuhui xD






Mooncake cushion




I am a shu nu, kekeke

Enjoyed the time we had (: seems like so long ago we spend time like this together. looking forward to more of them in the year 2012 <3

Hello 2012, goodbye 2011

Jan. 2nd, 2012 | 12:47 am

The end of the year makes me feel theres a need to reflect on all those that had happened in the past one year, with all the happenings and occasions, to tell myself that i did not live a year in vain. each and every experiences, no matter how good or bad, mundane or exciting, makes us different from who we were last year, this time. As much as we try to retain who we were, bits and pieces of us will change with the many different experiences we go through. change is something we cannot do without in life and many a times, they can bring about surprises (:


And...a happy new year~~ )

Getting a license like finally~!

Dec. 1st, 2011 | 10:41 pm

Met up with Xiuhui today to pass her some winter wear clothes for her trip! *envious* the time when i went korea, there wasnt the Hallyu wave and i was quite young to understand what was going on. Only faintly remember having seaweed for every meal, running to every snow patch within sight no matter how tiny it was, skiing and lotte world. The seaweed is still awesomeee! Got a packet from Ruibin last week when he came back from Korea. Quite a few people i know who are going/is in/went korea this year! o.o its like theres a trend or something. it was hongkong, then bangkok and now korea. hahaha, my family went along with the trend for hongkong and bangkok but korea is not possible as of now. 

After lunching with Xiuhui and her sis, went down to sign up for my driving lesson! :D after months and months of procrastination and worrying about money, i decide to just go with it since im realatively free-er in this period of time. Worried about the money part but i hope everything will work out fine when i start working in a few more months :/ Tsiat accompanied me although he was going to meet his friends later :D hahaha, thank goodness though cos i was rather confused as to where to go and what to do. when making my way around hospitals for checkups and stuff, i had no problem at all and yet was blur blur at bbdc. and the eye checkup made me so paiseh! hahaha, i kept looking at the wrong thing and didnt know what was i expected to look at. had to be prompted a few times before i know what was i supposed to be seeing xD

rather exciting! learning something new! :D one of my resolution for year 2012~

My favourite singapore drama! they dont make shows like this anymore ): when there wasnt channel U or I and TCS was still around. The closest show that ranks alongside it on my personal scoreboard would be 'Little Nonya' which was rather nice and educational without so much of propaganda as frequently seen in singapore shows -.- omg!! i just randomly went to google it and found it on tudou! may watch it again :D

Sometimes

Nov. 18th, 2011 | 11:51 pm

     When parents try to hold on tighter to their children, they don't realised that childhood slips through our fingers and there can be no turning back. Grasping at what was their child, not willing to let go of growing up. Parents tries to retain as much of them within us, exercising their control over us. and sometimes, it gets rather frustrating. We're often told to act our age but what if, we're not allowed to?

tumbler not tumblr

Nov. 13th, 2011 | 07:52 pm

Wanted to complete my work hours ago but it took up much longer than i expected )): 4 upcoming jap tests and two assignments due next two weeks. Im so not ready for jap tests D: bahaha, i dont seem stressed up about them but i sure am x.x I finally bought the starbucks christmas tumbler! after procrastinating about it cos im trying to save up and resist spending unnecessarily. But my aunty sense kicked in after worrying that it will run out of stock, somemore not every branch have! headed to the one at cityhall branch where i first saw it but it had a scratch T.T tried the cathay next and they dont have them! and on the third try, managed to get it at Plaza sing (((: there was 4 of them at that shop! searching for the tumblers made me realised how many starbucks were there. i was mentally planning to head down to 313, centrepoint, ion, wheelock, pacific plaza, wisma to continue the hunt for them. 

cant wait for christmas! :D

Travel into ntu for lunch with sissy and attempted studying with her! xD had mini steamboat and the soup with fried fish was tasty :D nomnomnom. Her exams are round the corner along with Tsiat and the rest of most of my friends ): 

Met up with the boyfriend after his lessons and headed to jurong point for dinner! :D Had LongJohnSilver ! i looove cheese dips. tried to googled for it to see whether does any shops sell it and most people says that they cant find it in normal supermarkets D: yet to try cold storage and carrefour though. walked around jp and unknown to me, Tsiat was making sure that we will end up at the cinema xD hahaha, we were staring at the tvs with the showtimes and when i was about to lead us away, he pulled me towards the entrance to the halls which at the moment i thought he was just trying to be funny until he showed me tickets. haha! i seriously went o.o it was totally unexpected and i didnt suspect at all <3

Tintin was niceee! the cartoon version is cuter though xD daniel craig was in it too! as the evil revengeful person. i love watching movies! if a job offer came for me to watch movies/dramas 10 hours a day and write reviews on them i will consider it rather seriously. 

Starbucks came out with christmas series of tumblers! :D thinking of getting the tumbler with snowflakes across the body and polar bear figurines at the bottom ((: so cute and cool! didnt know last year was snowman if not i would have gotten it ):
