The post I should have made LONG LONG TIME AGO.

Okay, its currently 4.33pm and I finally decided its time I made this long should have made blogpost, although I know no one will be reading it. Just let me be self absorb into the idea that somehow people are reading this space and I am not talking to myself. 

So there are a lot of things I think I should talk about since the last post. 

So here goes, sorry if it gets too long. 

Okay, my mind is flooding with things to blog about so let me get organized. Here are probably the short list of the things I'm going to talk about. 

1. My 18th Birthday 

2. Spending a day with Esther in Singapore 

3. Teachers Day Celebration 

Okay, so firstly, my eighteenth birthday celebration! 

I guess being eighteen is a special milestone for everyone, including me. 

Its the year we turn legal. 

But other than just being able to do things I wish I can do before I was eighteen, being eighteen is certainly the end of the years of my life where I can get excused for being too young, childish, immature. 

Being eighteen or an official adult meant I now have to start planning for my life, for my future. 

And frankly speaking I am excited yet scared. 

But that's enough of that now, lets talk about the fun stuff, which is how I celebrated that special day! 

Okay so, my eighteen birthday started off really boringly, I had school. LOLLLLLLL

I got surprise by my girls who gave me a hand made book as my present. 

That was probably the highlight of the entire day in school, I'm truly very very blessed heheh. 

After lessons, I went to celebrate with someone special. 

We went to walk around Botanical Gardens. 

And had dinner at Bar Bar Black Sheep. 

Its a bar that serves three different kind of cuisines, Thai cuisines, Indian cuisines and Western Cuisines. 

And because it was my birthday, we ordered Thai Food. We ordered the set meal where we will have free flow of rice heheheh. 

After that, we went to have desserts, at Island Creamery. 

And we went home. But little did I know, he had something up his sleeve. 

After reaching home, as usual, I did the things I would usually do. But everything changed when I open my room door. 

My friends were hidden inside waiting to surprise me with a cake. 

I was extremely shock. First of all by the fact that all of them squeezed into my room, note that I stay in a HDB flat.
And secondly they were there inside hiding for hours.
It was truly a surprise I have never experienced.
And they ended my eighteen birthday on a even better note. :)

On this note, I would like to thank everyone who took time to surprise me and spend the day with me making a what was suppose to be a boring day because of school a fun and memorable one! 

I would like to thank everyone who wished me too hehehe. 

I'm grateful to God too for blessing me mightily in my life up till now, its been a adventure and I'm looking forward to the future. I know its not going to be easy, but I will face the unknown bravely. 

Okay, now that the first part is done, lets move on to the second part of my post today. 

!!Spending the day with Esther!! 

It was after the first day of my exam paper, Esther, who is one of the translators we met during my YEP trip five months back. 

She was going to Australia and will be transiting in Singapore, so we decided to being her around Singapore and spend time with her! 

So I met up with few of my yep family and made our way to the airport from school. 

We waited for almost half and hour at the departure gates and we were worried that we might have missed her but then we spot her!! 

After successfully meeting her, we went to Marina Sky Garden! 

And see the black plastic bags on the trolley, its Myanmar Mango, not one or ten but 50 of them!! 

We were so shock that they bring 50 mango's all the way from Myanmar for us! 

So yeah, we went to Marina Sky Garden :) 

The place is really pretty, and relaxing :) 

 The night view over there :)

We wanted to being Esther and her friend to eat some nice local food but unfortunately they had to meet some other friends of theirs and we send them there and had a good catch up dinner :) 

The short few hours spend was very very fun, its always nice to meet people who means a lot to you. 

Seeing Esther for the few hours make missing Myanmar a little better, but I'm looking forward to the day we can all go back again and meet the kids who changed our life and the truck drivers and the other translators! 

Okay, so this is random not on the list but after meeting Esther I spend the next six days studying for the last two papers and when the papers ended, I went to celebrate the end of Semester 2.1 with my girls! 

We went to sing Karaoke at Cine! But a recommendation, I wouldn't go there much unless I have no choice because there is a heavy smoke smell. 

Reason being is because the place have areas where they allow customers to smoke, and plus its air conditioned, it makes the whole place very smoky smelling. 

But other than that, its a nice place to sing :)  

After that we went to eat at Kiseki Japanese Buffet Restaurant at Orchard Central! 

Endless supply of Salmon! yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy 

Its crazy how we have finished 50% of our three years in poly. Time flies. 

But all in all, semester 2.1 ended and I'm more than thankful it ended. Its been a hectic semester, with one month spend in Hong Kong, it made everything even more packed when we are back. 

But good job to all of us for completing a crazy semester!! 

The remaining semesters is going to be even more crazy but we can do it :) 

Okay, so now the third thing I'm going to talk about is Teachers Day Celebration! 

Okay so on the fourth of September I went back to my Alma Mater for teachers day celebration. 

Its honestly very very weird, it feels weird to be back at the place where I use to spend most of my time in. Its good too seeing all the teachers and old schoolmates! 

Its such a pity though the teacher that made me who I am today is leaving the school! 

He believed in me when I was a nobody, gave me chance to take up leadership roles, plan projects, lead juniors making me change to who I am today. 

My secondary school days is what it is because of your guidance and patience towards every student that came across you way. 

Woodlands secondary has indeed loss yet another great teacher. Thank you Mr Yiu! 

Wow, this post is getting way too long. But anyway that's pretty much it I guess, from where we left off from my last post till now. Its the holidays now and I promise myself during this holiday, I'm going to let my body replenish energy and have ample amount of rest before the start of another crazy semesters! 

So here are some of the pictures here and there taken during the holidays! 

Chay's birthday surprise! 

Family Day! 

Mooncake Festival! 

Hui's birthday surprise! 

Annoying Korean Boy. HAHAHAHAH 

Anyway, the holiday has been great till this point! 

It feels good to be blogging again :) 

So I guess that's it for now! 

Have a good Monday everyone, may something good happen to you today. xx 

GPA 3.4 

meh meh meh

feeling so lousy right now. meh.
shall post about it maybe when i'm done with school work.
God, I can't do this alone. :(

Snip Snap Snap

Yes, as the title suggest, I finally chopped off my hair.
I must say, this haircut took so much out of me.
HAHAHAHHAHA.

Its been ages since I had a haircut and the hair I had has been through so much with me, I went to Myanmar, Hong Kong with it. Its been a good journey with my hair. But after cutting, it really does feel a lot lighter.
Like even now, when I bathe, its faster because my hair is shorter making it easier to shampoo and condition my hair.

So here is a picture of it before I snipped it off.

And here is how it looks like now!

Anyway I guess its good now that my hair is shorter, its so much easier to move around like for example, carrying my bag. 

In the past, whenever I carry my bag, my hair would get stuck with it because its too long, but now that its shorter, its so much easier to carry and put it down. 

And the next most obvious advantage would be now, it takes so much shorter amount of time to dry! Usually I will give up at night waiting for my hair to dry and just go and sleep, but now, it drys faster and I finally got to sleep with my hair dry :) 

But anyway, today was a good day! 

Spend my day chilling at starbucks with my project mates and went to eat dinner with him. 

The remaining week until 28 july will perhaps be a tiring week. 

But I can do this. 

Have a good week ahead everyone! 

Happy National Day!

First of all let me clarify, this post will have nothing to do with me going for National Day parade or anything like that. It just so happen that I have time to blog now and it happen to be Singapore's National Day! So why not title this post Happy National Day! So, Happy 49th Birthday Singapore! And I must say this year's National day parade is really good, the song was good, the parade was good, the performance was good, everything was good :)



Okay, so anyways, here's a little update about probably the busiest and most stressful week for the semester, week 16. Week 16 was probably the worst week, well every day after Hong Kong was bad because there is a never ending amount of work to do :(
But I'm just really glad its over now, all that's left is one more project and presentation and it will be exams and the end of Semester 2.1!

But anyway here is a little update on week 16 aka the craziest week every semester.
So on that week we had 2 project submission. One financial management and the other econs.

As per usual, financial management was horrible. (its just me, i hate dealing with numbers)
I don't know if its me who have poor time management or there was too many things needed to be done at the same time, but my group and I only really finish the project half and hour before the presentation and submission.

So here was basically what we had to, we had to do master budgeting for our business. 

To put it in simpler terms, we had to do excel sheets full of numbers numbers and more numbers. 

But the bad thing was other than this, we had to do a proposal in word and presentation for our business.

This was basically what it felt like, all the assignments are thrown to us and I'm just like WHATTTT. 

But I'm thankful we manage to complete everything and balance out balance sheets for every year of our business all within the night. 

Couldn't fully express how happy I was after knowing that we can balance out balance sheet because we spend 6 hours in school trying to figure out whats wrong and checking every cell in the numerous excel sheets but we couldn't find out what wrong.
I was really getting myself mentally prepared to get a C for this project.
But by the grace of God, we manage to find out whats wrong and get everything done before the presentation and submission.
Sleeping less than 10 hours for the two days was definitely worth it :)
Here's some of the pictures we took!

After that, went to Ikea and tried their meatballs for the first time. 

I don't know if its just me but the meatball tasted alright :/ 

Here is the food that was bought!  

But nonetheless the day was good and it ended off great! hehe 

Remember previously I mentioned there was another project due on the same week, if you don't its okay, let me remind you, the second project was Economics group project.
So after the finmgt project officially ended on Wednesday, we went back home and had a mini break from the numbers until we had to start on Thursday for our econs assignment.



As usual, all of us spend our no school Thursday in school doing projects. And only left school after being chase out by the guards. Got home and had to start on assignments again.

The assignemnt was due on Friday which was yesterday. 

Thank you to you (you know who you are) for staying up the entire night with me and accompanying me! hehe 

We finish the project and submitted it, so yay econs project is over too and all that's left is XCOMM major project and one last presentation and we are all done with assignments. 

But here's where things starts to get interesting, yesterday too, my friends surprised me for my birthday! 

Here was what happen. 

After submitting the assignments, shi shan and I walk to the bus stop. 

She had to meet her friend and I was going to meet Jia Hui who was also part of the plan. 

We were going to eat at some cake shop to destress and I thought it was normal because we always use eating as a form of celebration when we finish exams or a stressful week or just to chill. 

So I met her and went to Botanical Gardens because she said her dad says there is nice shops there. 

It wasn't a nice walk at all, we saw a lot of HUGE dogs and creatures and squirrels. 

But we were determined and continued walking trying to find the shop until suddenly Jia Hui who was also part of the plan covered my eyes and made me walk to the place where the surprise was! 

And then another surprise came after that! 

He was suppose to go for this society meeting and had to cancel the plans we made to have a meal together HAHAH 

I was really surprised! 

It was the first time in my life I had a surprise like this! 

They were really good and I didn't suspect a thing! 

And I was extremely touched when everything happen because this week was a extremely tiring week for all of us because of the assignments and they had to find time to plan and cook get everything prepared for my birthday surprise! 

I'm so thankful that God blessed me with this group of friends who accepted me for who I was and make my poly life such a blast :) 

Sadako New. HAHAHAAHAH ok nt funny. 

After the picnic we went to orchard to watch movie and went home.
It was horrible, I mean the movie, we rented horror movie and went to the Chambers at the top floor of Cine and watch it.
It was really a good way to end of the night, I couldn't stop smiling yesterday even now when I'm typing this.

But as I think back, I think I'm a truly blessed girl.
I have always have friends who always had my back and are just really true friends that we will keep for the rest of our life, even in poly where they say true friends are hard to find.
They taught me how to be strong.
How to be responsible.
How to trust.
And how to be a friend.
Yes, we might have moments where there are tension and unhappiness but its those things that make us closer and stronger!
And I know us meeting and becoming friends in poly aren't coincidence, its more than that!
I'm looking forward to the rest of the poly life with them and after that :)

But for now, I'm just really thankful for week 16, it was a tiring, stressful and fun week!
Okay, this post is getting way too long, but yeah that pretty much what I wanted to post about in this post, so have a good national day my non-existent readers and may something nice happen too you tomorrow :)

ps: thank you for keeping me sane when the world is driving me insane. I'm thankful for you!
