Happiness is in our hands.

Helloooooooooo~

I'm blogging diligently nowadays, am I not? Heehee! Partly because I wanna upload the pictures from my camera to clear the space in my memory card. =p

So, here goes~

Claypot Ramen!

Introduction by Stan~ Went out with him on Monday and he intro me to Noodle Shop located at Bugis Street area. I would say the food looks pretty good and the prices are affordable. Definitely a good change from LJS, KFC, Mac, etc.. You get what I mean. I only tried their Claypot Ramen.. Taste was ok~ I still prefer the ramen at The Central. Loooong time since I've had it. XDD
But the ambiance there is quite nice~ It's just next to Bugis Street, can always hop over to rest your weary feet after shopping~

After that, Stan & I went to Iluma to do some window shopping~ In the end, he couldn't resist the temptation and bought a necklace. Whahahaha! And I think we amused the shop lady a lot! She kept laughing and grinning at us. Hahahaha! Went to Bugis Street and Junction too before heading over to Sunshine Plaza where I introduced him to O'Divino. Mix-mix ice cream~!
Of course, the journey there was full of laughter thanks to him! Hahaha!

Headed down to Toa Payoh for a dinner with Jae & his family~ It was interesting to see how his Dad ordered the food. Really wow~ The dinner was widespread~ The guys seemed to enjoy the crabby that night~ And as usual, there were loads of laughter all around. XDD

Went out with Leen on Tuesday to do our manicures & also walk around FEP~ After which, I left for my English Proficiency Test cum interview @SMU. The test and interview wasn't as scary as I thought it would be.. thanks to Stef for giving all the advice the night before and just right before my interview~ Enjoyed the essay process entirely. It's been so long since I wrote something like that. My topic was 'Happiness is not an accident but a choice. To what extend do you believe that happiness is within the control of people.'
Well, I was given 2 questions but I chose this. Pretty much enjoyed my essay and I hope the faculty members will enjoy it too~ XDD

For today, I met Leen in the afternoon and we went to shop for some nails stuff and went to meet both her buyer AND seller. (The 'and' is in capital letters for a reason. Inside joke! LOL!)

Met XM for dinner @ New York New York~ It was yummylicious~!

Apologies beforehand for any blurry images as I was multitasking then. I was on the phone talking to Kim who just came back from Nepal while juggling my camera in one hand. XM & Leen had a kick out of seeing me so busy. And none offered to help me take the pictures. Hmph~

Root Beer Float~

I prefer the one at Billy Bombers.

MINE! Hawaii Teriyaki Grilled Chicken~


XM's~ Hot Plate Spaghetti with Black Pepper Chicken.


Leen's~ Lemon-filled Fish~!

Ok, that wasn't the exact name but I kinda of forgot. Was distracted by her PinkXBlue fingers. Her theme colour for this month I guess. -.-

And....

finally I got to try their MUDPIE!!

Tadaaaa~

It's certainly is different from Coffee Club's as they separated out the ice-cream and the chocolately part(mudpie?) here. It's still nice but I prefer the one at the Coffee Club~ XDD

Okie~ Shall end off here! Probably not gonna blog till I get back so adios people~

Random Piccies~

Can't seem to fall asleep now so decided to clear my camera's memory card~

Had a gooood evening nap just now~ The weather is so nice for napping nowadays~

Brrr~ And cold~



Went out with Leen recently and had mix-mix ice cream at Sunshine Plaza~ Super long since we went there.

We just walked around Cineleisure, 313, etc.. Somehow, I feel that there is nothing much to shop about in Orchard these few days. Maybe it's due to the fact that I always go there. Hahaha!
Anyway, we stopped by Cineleisure to shop and it was a pit stop for us too. Mainly Leen. She took a powernap there la~ Left me alone and bored. So I took some pictures.


Hah! She didn't know I took her picture.

Oh yea, as I was cam-whoring, I realised that the background seemed kinda of creepy thanks to her hair. I kept thinking that it was a wig. Sheesh~

Felt super tired after that day~ Actually, these few days seem so tiring~

Which is why today I decided to stay at home and rest. Though my mom keeps nagging me about some stuff regarding my uni and Hong Kong.

Ahhh~ I still have loads of time before the trip to start packing~! Pointless packing now when I might still need the clothes ya? Sigh~


Oh well~ At least today we managed to get some stuff we needed like locks and labels. And I finally got a new swimsuit. Like finally! The last time I got was like in Secondary 2 I think. Ancient sia.

Ahhh~ Okie. Feeling bit tired now.

Oh yea, found these 2 pictures in my handphone. LOL!

Chiang the Chicken~!


Kim giving me the death stare. Whahaha!


Time to sleep now~ Long day tomorrow. Going shopping with Stan in Bugis.

Nites people!~~

Countdown~

I can't believe that in another 7 more days I'll be going to Hong Kong!~ Okie, that's what I've been harping on for a few days. It's getting closer and closer~ I've just checked all the weather forecasts and it seems that the date that we're going, the temperature range is from 13 degrees to 22 degrees! WOOOTS!! I'm gonna love the cold weather. Just hope it doesn't keep raining. Heehee.

My fun is gonna start on Thursday where Jean will be staying overnight~ Gonna sleep early like 10+ so that the next day will seem to arrive faster and I'll be wide awake on our 1st day there~
I hope the plane has some entertainment for our 3 hours + flight there.. if I'm not wrong. Heehee.

I can foresee busy-ness in the next few days before my trip. Tomorrow is out with Jean in the morning, meeting Danny & Leen in the afternoon and my dear boyf in the night. I mean later on.. judging at the timing I'm typing this.
Meeting them all for different agenda~ hahahaha!

I'm gonna watch 'To Kill A Mockingbird' on Saturday!~ Wheeee! I'm looking forward to it. Plus I'll be catching 'Kaiji' with boyf before that too. Well, maybe, if we decide to watch it. 2 shows in 1 day. O.O No choice thanks to the timings they have.

Sunday & Monday is probably slack day. And to catch up on my job hunt. =X

Tuesday is gonna be a nerve wrecking day and the day that determines my future. My final result will be out in the morning and also my interview with SMU!!!! Yess!! They called me recently and asked me to go for an interview this coming Tuesday~ Woots! I was super happy! I gotta go through some English Proficiency Test that made me went O.O when I 1st heard it. I hope my English skills are still intact. Hahax.
And one thing about SMU, they're super duper efficient! They managed to find my twitter account after they called me. I was like super amazed to find out that they're following me on twitter and even send a congratulatory tweet to me for being shortlisted. Like 'WOAH'!
I really hope I'll ace that interview and get into SMU. Lots of people have been asking me to go to SMU (esp Stef) and also NTU. I'm still choosing but majority of my heart is bent on SMU. XDD

Wednesday... I think I got something on but I can't remember. Shucks. My memory is failing me. Packing, maybe?

Thursday is packing time, slacking at home and meeting Xiang Min (most probably?) Heehee~

Friday is byebye time till next Thursday~ I hope I'll be able to get internet there. Jean might be bringing her lappy along so might be able to access certain things. I heard there's wifi at Disneyland lobby so that sounds good for my iTouch~ Heehee.

Okie dokie~ I shall go off to sleep, hopefully I can. Nites people!

Hugs~

Wheeee~

I'm back home! Was at camp on Friday & Saturday but didn't stay over because the camp was..... maybe I'll say it in another post.

Anyway, I've been listening to an old song recently~ Heard it on the radio one day and found out the title of it. Really liked it in the past and even now too~


Before I Fall In Love

My heart says we've got something real
Can I trust the way I feel
Cuz, my hearts been fooled before
Am I just seeing what I want to see
or is it true could you really be

Someone to have and hold
with all my heart and soul
I need to know before I fall in love
someone who'll stay around
through all my up's and down's
Please tell me now before I fall in love

I'm at the point of no return
So afraid of getting burned
but I wanna take a chance
Oh, please give me a reason to believe
say you're the one
that you'll always be

Someone to have and hold
with all my heart and soul
I need to know before I fall in love
Someone who'll stay around
through all my up's and down's
Please tell me now before I fall in love

It's been so hard for me
to give my heart away
but I'd give my everything
just to hear you say

Someone to have and hold
with all my heart and soul
I need to know before I fall in love
Someone who'll stay around
through all my up's and down's
Please tell me now before I fall in love
Before I fall in love

Sharing a few quotes here~

"Sometimes it's better to put love into hugs than to put it into words."

"A hug overcomes all boundaries. It speaks words within the mind that cannot be spoken."

"A silent hug means a thousands words to the unhappy heart."

"Through your embrace you speak a thousand words, without ever saying one."

"Hugs are great, but when they are from the people you care most about, it makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside!"

"A hug is the purest burst of emotion."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, you might be wondering what's up with all the hugs quotes. It's because recently I found out what hugs can feel like and how meaningful it is. Well, more like I remember the power of hugs. Hahax..

Hugs are a really good way to express one's emotions and feelings. And at the same time, it can make someone feel like they are wanted by someone for that moment. It might have been a brief hug but the memory of it may last a lifetime.

Hugging and being hugged are able to give each party a strong sensational feeling, especially by someone you love.

A hug may contain a lot of meanings and words that aren't easily expressed out, thus, when a hug takes place, one will be able to feel the meanings & words of the other party and be overwhelmed by the emotions.

Okie~ Shall end off here. Gonna catch up on my dorama~ XDD

Oh yea! I'm gonna watch Nodame Cantabile The Movie with Xiang Min tomorrow~! Wheeee! Can't wait for it!

Sigh. I'm Tired.

Feeling tired recently.

Not so much in a physical sense but mentally.

Reason being disappointment. But, I guess, it's just my expectations were too high and unrealistic.

Wonder when will I be able to.......

Or maybe I'm just not fit......

I dunno.


Sometimes, I can't help wondering if sadness arrives because one can't have too much happiness.

It links, because one can only experience happiness when there is sadness and vice-versa.


Okay. Enough of this post. Suddenly feels like bawling. Need a crying outlet. Gonna watch 1 litre of tears. Sore eyes tomorrow. Nites people.

Another thing that I just wanted to check. Trixy showed me a website with some really cute and nice cosmetics called Candy Doll. Looks really nice and we're both tempted to get it along with Eileen. However, it is a little pricey and we've checked all that Singapore does not bring in the brand. We managed to find an alternative and so I'm just checking to see if anyone is interested before starting a spree on it.

Loose Powder

Lip Gloss & Lip Concealer



Blusher (Dark Pink, Light Pink & Violet)




Loose Powder will be around $35 - $40.
Lip Gloss/Concealer will be around $25 - $30.
Blusher will be around $30 - $35.

The estimation of prices would be around this as it might vary according to the response and also shipping~ However, the variation wouldn't be far from here. XDD

Feeling Fortunate~!

I'm blogging more recently ya? hahahaha!

Gonna post up some photos of the past few days:

Taken with my Lolly so pictures are of only 3MP and below. =p

Went to BBQ Chicken with Jun & Sandy the night before the celebration. The customer service was gooood! The manager is funny and super nice. Hahahaha!

The chicken was AWESOME!


Like seriously good! I couldn't bear to finish it. Gonna bring XM to try it one day.

We bought Kasper too! Cousin of Casper.. Ok, just kidding. Hahax, it's some weird shaped ice-cream from Walls. Pretty nice but melts damn fast!

Got my new hat from there too~ Love it loads and got it at a really good deal. XDD




The number of orh-cheahs I got in 1 single day there. =(


Camwhored a little @ XM's house before going out the next day~


Oh ya, and I met up with Kim for a short while today in Church too~
Got some random stuff to eat & drink~


Gonna meet up again this Wednesday! Hopefully we'll be able to go find Thomas too! XDD

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okie~ Main reason why I felt like blogging suddenly was that, I felt fortunate! Haha. I'm being really random I guess. Just finished watching The Time Traveler's Wife and teared quite a lot. Did a bit of thinking throughout and also wondered about how I would have reacted knowing something like my death in advance. The situation where you know that something bad is gonna happen but you can't do anything. Helpless like a baby.

The show was nice. Different from the book but it's still nice.

Another reason is for me feeling fortunate is the things that are happening around me.

Really great to catch up with friends from Sec/Poly/Church , Family and etc. Someone asked me a question regarding the number of true friends I think I have in my life now and I answered 13.

Which is a lot I think. Since most people's reaction were like 'WAH!'

Oh well~

Another thing that makes me happy is being together with my boyfriend~
*blush*

I found out that simple actions and things can make me feel all bubbly inside and cheery too~

These are the 1st pictures that we took together on Lolly which is like, yesterday?~ Hahahaha. Super long time since we zilian huh?




It's hard to get him to take photos with me. =P

Love my new lenses. EOS King Size Brown~


Gonna get more this time before the supplier takes a break so for all of you out there who are interested in getting colour contacts, do let me know soon!

$20 per pair for yearly lenses w/wo degrees.

Drop me a sms/msn/facebook/tweet/tag or whatsoever if you're interested. XDD (So many ways of communication!)

Ending it off with this~


<3

My To-Do List

Wheeee~! I'm back home! In my own sweet comfy bed with my huggies~ Wasn't at home for the past 3 days. Was at Jun's 21st birthday chalet at Pasir Ris~ Was gonna spend both nights there but went over to boyf's house on the 2nd night. Some stuff cropped up and I was really tired. However, was tossing and turning the whole night, think I drank too much green tea... again. Hahahaha.

Okie~ Just a short update and to remind myself of some stuff!

To-Do List:
1) Meet up with Friends (Sec, Church, Poly)
2) Go register for my driving classes
3) Job Hunt
4) The MEETING (arggghhh)
5) Planning for Good Friday thingy
6) Monthly groceries (mainly at Watsons..hahahahha)
7) Settle Sprees
8) Sleep more (sleeping only a few hours recently)
9) Packing for HK Trip
10) Start thinking of what to do for my future.
11) Start learning how to cook!!!!~

Okok, probably the cooking part will send Kim screaming away when she sees this. I guess. Hahahaha. But I believe with determination, nothing is impossible. Whahahaha~ Where do I get my determination from? My dearest boyfriend. Hahahahaha. I believe the kitchen is as scared of me as I am of it. So, I'm gonna try to learn more kitchen skills from now on. XDDD

Why the sudden notion of it huh? Well, I was on the way back from his house and suddenly this phrase popped into my head: 'Don't ask what others can do for you but what you can for others.'
Hahax, so I'm gonna try hard in the cooking dept too~

Wish me luck~ (and the kitchen too) Hurhurhur.
