Went out with my super duper friendly coursemate last Thursday! Decided to meetup with her before school starts yay oh yay. Headed over to Bugis for lunch. 

Since bugis street's food was not open yet, we headed to Astons at Bugis+! 

Aston's still forever one of my fav restaurants to go because they have cheap nice and filling food. 

Headed over to Orchard afterwards and we 'camped' at OC due to the rain. 

And also got laptop stickers from Scape! 

And also had my virgintry of Chocolate Origin's Cake with Icecream argh craving for it right now again. 

And it's only $5 for awesome food! 

Headed over to Mines cafe on sat with my usual fav group of people. It's like a cafe ( duh ) with countless of board games card games for you to choose from to play. 

We paid like only $11 for two hours of games there with a drink of your choice! 

Located opposite The Cathay. 

Headed over to eat saizeriya for dinner. 

Guess what, again it's one of the most cheapest and affordable restaurants with good food! 

With like totally no GST & Service charge, besides ordering like maybe a main dish, you can get free flow of drinks for only $2.80 

Etc Milo Soft drinks tea Sjora! 

Only $2 for this garlic bread. 

$5.90 for this plate of spaghetti! Awesome stuff right there. 

Can anyone guess what's this? One of their signature dishes, Escargots! Don't get turned off by the word of it because it's seriously nice! 

Anyways, finished reading a book recently, read it only because many ppl were like talking about it and saying how awesome it was ( yeah I'm someone who's influenced easily ) 

It's actually a story about a girl who have cancer & is always at the terminal stage, not knowing when will she go. She met a guy and then yeah. ( love story but not typical ) She thought that the guy was healthy ( after amputating his leg because of cancer too ) 

* Spoiler * 

The guy died. 

And damn did the book make me cry 4 times. 

Everyday there are people going like ' damn I hate my life can I just die ' etc, not thinking that there are So much more people who would rather be in their shoes, healthy and still getting the chance to live like a normal person. 

Depression, self harming, anorexia, bulimia. 

Some people even had beautiful healthy bodies, but destroyed themselves and not appreciate what they have. 

And what led to that? The journey to try to seek perfection. 

Being depressed because you saw a girl on the streets prettier than you, feeling fat because you look fat wearing every single thing, self harming because you thought that it's the only way to distress. 

No one can ever be perfect behind those walls, and it's normal to be imperfect, because everyone are. 

Really really recommend this book. Those that like reading ( and do not like reading too ) just get this book because it's seriously so touching. 

Anyways I was working on Sunday and my best friend came to surprise me with this! 

Cheryl : Actually I came here today because I got a gift for you. 

Me : huh? 

-Cheryl produces a pandora box- 

& yes I started screaming ( inwardly ) and I was like.. Stunned for a super duper long time! 

She knew that the Eiffel Tower was difficult to find in SG anymore so she got this from US instead of the Volleyball charm but hey no matter what she gives to me ( or don't ) , even her presence itself makes me feel so at ease. 

Really glad to have a friend that knows me more than I know myself ( yes she can point out every single flaw I have if I ask for it ). 

Love you shortie! 

Goodbye! 

House•Smiles•Work

Been having lots of stuff coming up recently. 

Headed to view furnitures with my parents on SAT because I was looking for hidden wall beds ( cause my future room will be ultra small even though my house ain't that small ) 

Building in progress. 

& still building in progress.. 

Already at the 21st floor though, built our apartment which is the 18th floor! 

If anyone's wondering what flat it is, it's actually an executive condo at CCK. 

Some Lil history. 

--> 

We had a condo called Palm Gardens at CCK if anyone of you heard of it got Afew years back for like around 7 years. 

My parents decided to sell it though ( idk why ) and I've been living in my grandma's house @ telok blangah ( Tiong bahru mrt station ) for around 4 years. Though it's really convenient ( near town etc & only 10 mins bus ride to vivo ), we've been searching for new apartments for like maybe a year or more? 

Went to so many showrooms and we ended up wanting to move back to CCK again, only now more convenient ( 7 mins walk to Lot1 ) 

The only thing I'm looking forward to is that my future room will be connected to the toilet! Really essential for me because I'm scared of the dark, and if the toilet's really far, I will usually run to the toilet & back. 

Anyways the condo's TOP date is actually next year but most likely able to get the key this year end already! ( opens champagne & starts dancing around frantically ) because I've been waiting for it to even start building for years. 

Recently started work again because yessss I'm a spendthrift and I'm officially broke. Plus I wanna save some money before poly starts! 

And guess what, a Brunei guy not only purchased $100 worth of stuff, but also gave me a tip of $50! ( WHAT? ) 

Plus he even asked the little girl with him to give me a goodbye hug ( awwww ) 

I told the girl to enjoy herself & the guy went like ' she's enjoying but I'm not haha in need to check my credit card at the end of the month! ' 

I doubt so actually. Sometimes seeing the smiles of your own flesh and blood is just the only thing needed to make him/her smile too. No amount of money is worth more than the smile plastered on his daughter's face. 

Anyways, with the $50, I treated my girl icecream ( she came to surprise me @ work but failed ) 

Gelateria Italia's actually one of my fav icecream shops because it offers Bailey's flavour, plus it's also soooo nice. ( nicer than salted caramel's bailey icecream TBH ) 

& also used the remaining money to treat my bro to Ichiban Boshi! 

Headed to Pandora @ Great World City after Ichiban Boshi & my mum bought 2 charms for me for my bierhday ( which is in May HAHAHA ) 

Forest trinity & a white flower glass charm. 

Wanted to get this but oh well ( they just launched this ) 

So I have 6 charms now! 

( got my bracelet w/ 3 charms because my aunt ordered it from US for my early birthday present! ) ($71 for the green facet glass charm) & ($50 for the hearts one) 

Got the vintage mirror ($71) officially no money. 

Forest trinity- the one with the leave•dove•pendant ($88) 

Daisy White charm ($53) 

Many people don't really like green charms but Ohwell, green's my fav colour! Plus doesn't green have a calming effect on you since it's the colour of nature? 

Went back to work again on the 18th, with Elaine coming to find me & my girl successfully scaring me. 

Blessed because damn it I did not tell anyone my fav koi drink but here she is presenting me my fav drink. ( yes it's icecream milk tea ) 

Sorry for the hideous and ugly photo but I think my eye's infected. Really red & there's a white visible patch at the edge of the pupils of my eye. 

Hurts with just purely blinking ( was not like that when I woke this morning ) 

Bye! ( almost dropped my phone on my face ) 

Maybe just 2 days worth of update.

Woke up early in the morning on 11th to head to JP to meet my aunt.

Headed to Din Tai Fung for lunch! 

Ordered so much because my aunt needa eat for the baby too. So excited! Just another 3 more months and I will have a baby girl to play with. 

Bought paper stone stationeries because they are just too cute to resist! 

My aunt gave me a pandora bracelet for my early 18th birthday like now since she's afraid that she may give birth in May. Ordered it from US to ship over. 

Lucky she chose the 16cm one instead of something bigger because it's just nice! 

Anyways if anyone wants to buy just the bracelet itself in singapore it's most likely $125 ( checked it in a pandora store today ) 

My another aunt came and we head to a dessert shop at the second floor in JP.

Ordered coconut with icecream for around $8 

They put the coconut juice in a cup and dig the coconut for easier consumption, with an icecream inside. Awesome! 

Headed to my aunt's house for mahjong and went to find my parents for dinner.

Half kampong chicken! 

Anyways I met my girl today. ( 12-03-14 ) damn I keep messing up the dates. 

She ended her road run around 11 while I was still asleep so it was such a rush!

Went to Ichiban Boshi for lunch because I had mad cravings for sushi. 

Golden catch. 

Inari

Salmon skin

Some big fat set with raw salmon sashimi, cooked salmon, fish and chawanmushi.

( miracle I'm not growing fat with all the food I'm stuffing myself with. ) 

Headed to pandora to get a charm! Actually wanted to get a clip or maybe am Eiffel Tower charm but it was OOS. 

So I got this vintage mirror charm for only $71. ( wanted the theatre mask charm but my girl said it was ugly booooo ) 

Headed to USS after lunch. 

Then there was this bboys dance and I screamed till my throat hurts. AWESOME AH. Awkward moment when I was taking the photo and the guy beside me asked whether I had a boyfriend x.x 

Cheryl went crazehh over the 8packs. 

He tried scaring me but failed because I'm still smiling like a retard opps! 

And again Cheryl went crazy the whole day finding fairygodmother and we chanced upon her when USS was closing already! 

Blur photo with Joker. :( 

Cheryl being suaku did not drink anything from USS before ( even though she went a lot of times already ) so she bought this mango shake for $5! 

Was so exhausted we just sat down and nua. 

Ok maybe I tried to lie down and sleep for awhile ( in public ) 

Why does my girl still stick with me when I'm such an embarassment hahahah.

Sat the merry go round 

And also Madagascar ( I like to move it move it ) 

Cheryl has fetish for legs ( she took this ) 

Goodbye!
