Day out with Mum

Met mum for lunch over at QI JI @ Bugis together with my sister. Then we headed for some shopping at Bugis Street. I'm guessing cause it's the school holidays right now and everywhere is just packed with people, even on a Monday afternoon! :\ I think my mum got herself like 2 pairs of shoes and 4-5 dresses! Now I think I know where I got my spending habit from, hahaha.. And thai food for dinner over at golden mile! :>

How I spent my Saturday….

 

First X'mas - Family time

And so I got to spend my early X'mas celebration with my family and relatives this year, after missing it for the past 3 years consecutively. I never felt more at home.

Even though we don't exchange presents with one another anymore like we used to when we were younger, enjoying the food prepared with love by my aunt and grandaunt, plus everyone bringing in pot luck, + spending time with my cousins and all were more than enough for me. And it was Aaron's 5th birthday too as well, he's so cute when he blew out his candles haha.

And my cousins and myself kinda gambled the night away playing blackjack. (Yup…. we sure love to gamble) Hahaha. Even more intense on CNY! ;)

Sometimes you meet someone, and it’s so clear that the two of you on some level belong together. As lovers, or as friends, or as family, or as something entirely different. You just work, whether you understand one another or you’re in love or you’re partners in crime. You meet these people throughout your life, out of nowhere, under the strangest circumstances, and they help you feel alive. I don’t know if that makes me believe in coincidence, or fate, or sheer blind luck, but it definitely makes me believe in something.

Sick :<

Had the sudden symptoms of a horrible flu, sore throat and a fever for the past 2 days now.. If it still continues to persist tmrw, I shall go see a doc! I guess panadol flu max or whatever panadol they sell in drugstores just suck or have no effect on me :/ I totally need the drowsy meds as of now cause I have trouble sleeping thanks to my flu & sore throat. I haven't felt like this - like crap - in months from this common ailment.

I hope to fill up my next post with a video on 'WHAT'S IN MY BAG?' It came to me like *LIGHTBULB* while I was packing/clearing up my things.. Haha.

Shall end my post here for now, good night!

>

Hello Kitty gummy sweet my sister gave to me but its not nice, tastes weird…. like plastic!

Plans for EOY

Omg just sitting here at the airport hearing screaming or crying kids all around is scary, gosh. Don't get me wrong, I love kids, just not when they turn into crying monsters. No wonder so many Singaporeans don't want kids (just saying) haha.

I'm thinking of going somewhere overseas coming end of this year - oh wait its like in a few days time :\ was thinking gold coast or seoul or bangkok? I don't know… anywhere cheap or at least worth my money to create an unforgettable experience in 2013? Haha. Or do you have any suggestions where I can go? Do share with me!!! :>

Aside from all that, I can't wait to spend X'mas with my family and close relatives. Actually mainly for the food :p but also for everyone else's warm company. Be it X'mas or Chinese New Year, my family does the same thing for every occasion after meals: GAMBLE! Haha.

Okay gotta ciao, till then!

"The worst battle you have to fight is between what you know and what you feel"

While everyone is out having fun or enjoying their Saturday with their loved ones, I'm all snugged up in bed with my lappy, music and a hot drink. Great weather to stay home and avoid crowds in shopping malls or the wet outdoors :\ or at least for me.

Is anyone else feeling as empty and blue as me?

Just a thought >

Somehow I feel like my life is back to square 1 again. With no one to really talk to about it, because they won't understand. Feeling a bit lost, stress, blank; thinking of which path to take, which direction I want to be heading towards, but most importantly, which path that might possibly / make me happy. Being able to do something I really enjoy and not feel tied down by it at the same time is something that I'll treasure in the long run.

I don't ask for the best in life, I try to make the best out of what I have or what is given to me. I don't ask for a high paying job, I don't ask for a big house nor a complete family, I don't go after materialistic things, I just want to be happy. I want to feel like I could actually go to bed every night w/o having to worry so much about things or people. I just want to live simply; lead a simple life.

I live by this saying, 'You never know when others are having a bad day or maybe even a bad life, so be kind/nice to others'.

New Look

Hi~ I'm back to my blog again after months of not touching it and since I'm free now and can't get to sleep, I decided to re-design my whole blog look! Haha. Something more…….. simple.

I don't do blogskins and all that HTML/CSS codes, I'm really an I.T noob, so I can't make my blog to look so whoa or anything, haha. Hope you like it anyway and find it more less straining for the eyes as compared to my previous layout! :>

With many off days in between my job, there's actually a lot that I can do (e.g. blogging or exercising), but I'm just always plain lazy or feeling tired most of the time. A bad habit that I need to kick aside soon considering how many days I've already rested, so I need to quit being such a lazy ass girl and spend my time well besides sleeping!

I'm actually looking forward to X'mas but kinda sad that I won't be able to spend it overseas. I always wanted to experience X'mas or the Countdown some place else besides Singapore. On the bright side, I get to attend my Family's X'mas dinner this year after not being able to attend it for about 2-3 years consecutively now. **FOOD yum yum all the TURKEY & HAM**

I'll end the post here now for the night. Gonna cook some spaghetti for myself cause I'm hungry!!!

September update

I realised I disappeared for 2 months from blogging (forever s.t.o.p.p.i.n.g in between) even after saying "I'm back". But since I'm REALLY free now ever since I left my job at VS, I decided to revive my blog! *inserts wacky face*

So I have many who came and ask me why I left my job, or what am I planning to do now, am I going to further my studies, blablabla........ I don't even know where to start answering all of it but no I'm not going to study YET, but am actually waiting for my training to start as an air stewardess for FlyScoot! I am kinda excited to start. I've made a few friends during the interview and contract briefing and now we're gonna be batchmates :> And knowing that FlyScoot is expanding, it gets even more exciting when they reveal their future destinations. And currently their new flight is to Hong Kong! I can even visit my Hong Kong VS colleagues there! Haha. It was really a pleasure working with all of em in Singapore when they came for training. Talking about VS, I do miss my VS girls.. Its like I used to see their faces almost every day, and we talk/laugh about almost everything and anything all the time, they were the reason to motivate me to go to work because work itself was dreadful really, haha.

I hope the pimples on my face vanish soon cause its hurting like a bitch and I feel so u-g-l-y..... AHHHHHHHH~ I never had so many pimples in my life, til' now. Guess puberty came late for me. I need to learn how to drink more WATER and cut down on my sweet drinks!!!

I'm back?

Hi, I'm back to blogging again! 

Was just updating my resume and etc, (yeap, I'm off today) at Starbucks with my sister and 

awkward moment when I decided to revisit my blog again I couldn't remember my own URL -..- that's just how long I've not logged in and how much I've neglected this space.

The last entry I posted was only just when I started work, and oh my work has just changed so much.

Within a short period of time of about 4 months, we had a new store manager coming in, colleagues joining and leaving us, new rules and regulations, new pay scheme, everything just new.new.new. It was kinda hard to adapt to all these changes at first but working in such a fast-paced environment gave me no choice but to just go through it. (Thank god for loving and friendly colleagues - well most of em at least).

I wouldn't say I hate my job but neither am I loving it. It gets so tiring as the days go by, especially since we're so short-handed now and everyone has to OT or work more days in the week now to balance it all out. I can officially say that working RETAIL hours is super exhausting. And you have to give up your weekends and a lot of free time as well :( I feel like a total full-time workaholic. To have just one or two days most off in a week is too lil for me, considering how much I have to work in a day itself. Work has now become like my second home.

It sure feels good to know that I'm off tomorrow too. Totally need a break from work. Shall go grab myself a cheezeburger now :p 

toodles! :)

Keep fit

Went for some running and personal work out at east coast park yesterday. I sure felt good after that but my legs were damn tired (after not running for a few mths) But I kinda killed my running when I had a whole 'cookie summit' ice cream from swensons last night :x haha! Can't resist ice-cream y'know ;)

Note to self;

Move on. Don't look back. Forget the ones who didn't treasure you in the first place, the ones who didn't treat you right despite all the chances you gave em. Tell yourself that you'd be much better off without them. No more hurt, no more pain. You tried your best but you couldn't impress em enough. Oh god bless me. And cheers to the future and for what's to come *thumbs up to self* I need to forget and stay positive.

Oh Monday

> wonderful lunch & scorching sun
> packed wardrobe (forever doing this)
> watched ghost adventures the whole afternoon
> submitted my uni application (can't believe I paid $18 for it - cuz I doubt I'd get in but worth a try)
> starbucks (green tea cream frapp my fav) <3

& they say makeups are girls' best friends

Friday

Spent some quality time with my mum & becky. Just look at the change of expression on becky's face when she knows she can't have the biscuits x)
As usual, if my mum weren't cooking, we'd walk over to golden mile from her place to have our dinner (YAY, THAI FOOD!) and as usual, I'd eat rice. I love rice. Enjoy the food photos below too :)

Ariane's belated 21st celebration

Being a korean lover, Ariane picked out a Korean BBQ buffet restaurant over at Tamp 1 for her birthday dinner together with my sec sch girls :) Sadly, I forgot the name of the place but damn, their bugolgi beef was the best. I whacked that and the rice the most cause I just love their rice. Totally asian, yup. Hahaha. Price was almost $30 per person so if you aren't a buffet person, don't eat here UNLESS you are REALLY REALLY hungry or LOVE BBQ MEATS!

Wed

Got through my second round of interview and I'm officially starting work at Victoria's Secret soon, can't wait! :) But am already kinda dreading the long hours that I have to go through. Oh God bless me. I hope at least my colleagues are nice and fun to be with, that is enough to help me pull through my long day :) haha. And mannnnnn, there's just too many perfumes to remember and all that different scents.... indeed tough. It's definitely gonna be a new phase of life for me. Never would've I imagined myself taking on a full-time job so soon. Ahhhhh there goes all my holidays :( But $$$ come to me!!!!!

Met Al & Kelly anne for some shopping and dinner today after my interview/training. They never fail to brighten up my day with all their craziness and nonsense. It makes me forget about my worries and what not for a lil while. Thanks girls :)

Swim Tuesdays

Love free time spent like this with my loved ones. I didn't have to worry about anything for one whole day and just relaxed & went swimming by the pool. If only my life could be like this every day. I'd be super thankful, haha. Once work starts, I'd barely have the time for anything cuz I'm sure I'd be tired by the end of the day to do anything. (Sad part about working full-time in the retail field)
But on the bright side, I actually can't wait for work to start cuz it's gonna be a totally new experience for me and yay!! New job to be updated into my resume *plus point* hehe.
