I just picked up a call on behalf of my mom because she was on the line, and so her friend who knew I was from SP and now in NUS started chatting with me because her daughter was also in SP. She wanted me to meet her daughter and teach her some “tips” on how to do well. My mom already told me once about this and darn, she really chanced onto the opportunity to talk to me and ask me about it. :/ && She kept going on and on and I got a little impatient so I cut her off and told her I’ll get my mom to return her call. Out of angst, I slammed the phone a little loud and I’m feeling really guilty about it right now. I hope she dropped the line earlier than I did so that she couldn’t hear the slam on my side. I didn’t mean to be rude!!! :(

I understand her worry as a mom, but I felt she was being a little too paranoid, really, which was why I felt impatient. I hope she is not pressuring her daughter too much because that sucks. Parents should really stop comparing their own kids to their friends’ kids, it isn’t healthy comparison at all. The best would be to use them as examples to motivate the kids, but never, ever compare.

Boy am I grateful my parents didn’t bother how I studied. As long as they knew I did my best, they had no qualms about it. :’)

 

 

Back to the initial purpose of this entry! All’s good now, I’m chilled! ^^

I like the freedom of typing whatever I want, whenever I like. Which is why I liked the idea of keeping a blog. But somehow, I’m still restrained.

Truth be told, I like reading blogs where the authors occasionally talks a little about their personal life, besides all the happenings/events/advertorials. It feels less ‘commercialized’ with a tinge of personal touch! But never too much because it gets boring and more than often I find myself just scrolling down instead of taking the effort to read! D: I’m lazy like that.

&Anyway,

Its going to be another post with random photos taken randomly! (◕‿◕✿)

Was just looking through my iPhoto, and saw some photos taken during the brother’s graduation in April! :)

My gege graduated! :DDDD

Little brother :)

Can anyone enlighten me why is it so difficult to get someone to cut his hair?!? Absolutely abhors the long girlyyy hair of the lil brother and no one seems to be able to talk sense into him.

CONGRATULATIONS GE GE! Though its slightly more than a month since you officially graduated :P

CONGRATULATIONS TOO G :D

& Some time last week, or the week before, I went to KL with my cousin to get some stuffs done!

After we settled the matters on our side, my (our) auntie brought us around One Utama Shopping Mall to shop. AND EAT :D  Didn’t buy much but I enjoyed eating! lolol.

Dragon I restaurant! ^^

Its a chinese cuisine restaurant in KL. Apparently there’s quite a few branches there if you spot the malls ;) It was like the Din Tai Fung we have in Singapore but with alot more varieties! Yumyum. My favourite xiaolongbaozxzx.

And we stopped by Chili’s for tea break/early dinner!

Om nom nom. Chili's in KL :D

It was my first time dining at Chili’s! I’m so going back to the outlets in Singapore! ^^ ITS TOO CHEESY AND YUMMY!!!

Idk whats the name of this because it was my cousins and auntie who ordered! But it was yumz~

with my cousins and auntie :)

I look hideous in the photo though :( Too tired because I woke up at 3ish-am and embarked on our journey to KL at 4am. Extremely tiring experience >.<

Absolutely filters-free. Taken from the car!!! Mad love this photo! :DD

Thats all for KL!

I think it was some day last week as well,

Salted egg crabs nomnom.

Daddy probably had some cravings for crabs so I agreed to share it with him because momsie couldn’t eat seafood yet. Since it was only two of us to one crab, I had to eat so much of it and as a result super alot of the salted egg gravy because it was too yummy!! Fattening 101%. D:

These days I’ve been eating alot, its bad! :( My appetite is like that of a lion, boohoooo!! As much as I’m determined to melt the calories, I’m so affected by my ginomous appetite, I can never get enough of food. -___-”" Thank goodness I found the motivation and determination and I’d been going for evening walks/jogs with daddy and sometimes mommy! :DD This gotta stay, and the appetite gotta go away.

Anyhoos, gotta run, its evening time! ;)

I’m proud to tell the world, my pillar of strength is non other than my mother, my mommy!

She is someone very strong in the mind, definitely one of her plus point. Giving up is something not found in her dictionary. But sometimes it makes her very stubborn, which is disturbing at times.  Nevertheless, she is definitely one of the most persistant person I’ve ever encountered. A wonder woman I’d say.. side track a bit, she’s so darn amazing, she can fix almost everything at home herself!!! Door locks, fridge malfunctions, and I can’t think of others right now, but basically most household stuffs, she can fix them herself. Amaaaazing. She can bake and cook extremely well too (& I’m nothingggg like her T___T). I feel that she’s one perfect example of the chinese idiom: 进得了厨房，出得了厅堂。。

She never fails to put us before herself. No matter how unwell and tired she is, if there’s anything she can do for us, she will. I’m filled with gratitude.. for a mommy like this. In fact, both my parents made me realise how difficult it is, to be a good parent. Whatever they do, they keep us in mind, everything for our well-being. :’) Since I’m so old already (at least old enough), I hope that I can do the same for them too! Some day when I have my own kids.. hopefully I can do as well as my parents.. To be so selfless, so magnanimous, so considerate… :)

Sometimes I wonder what good I did my previous life, to deserve them. (yes I believe in all these)

She’s always there for me as well. Every time I feel extremely(!!) demoralized, dejected and despondent for my tests or exams, she never once stopped encouraging me. She always says as long as I’ve tried my best, it would be sufficient, and that’s all that matters. One encouragement from her just magically made me feel better, because I know, even if the whole world did not see my effort, at  least she did. She’s just magical as it is~

I don’t usually share with her regarding matters of the heart, in fact I seldom share them with anyone at all. But that doesn’t mean I’m not close to her.. I love talking to her, hearing about her day, and how she enjoyed her day! ((:

She is also a very considerate and nice person. I always wonder years down the road, if I’ll have as many good friends as she does. I bet not, really. (;¬_¬)

Show y’all something. She posted this status on her fb account.

How can a mother be so sweet? Thanking kids for Mothers' Day? o(>< )o

Seriously. Lolol. No matter how true/logical the statement was, I still believe Mothers’ Day is a day to remember and be thankful to our moms! <3

Pfffffft..

For I know you might be reading my blog, here’s wishing you,

A very HAPPY MOTHERS’ DAY to you, MY DEARESTTTTTTT MOMMY LOVE!

Thank you for always being there, for being my inspiration.

I love you! ヾ(＠⌒ー⌒＠)ノ

♥♥♥

My pillars.

with the little fats brother!

:')

A cute photo of momsie with a rabbit mascot. Lol!

Last but not least, a HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO ALL LOVELY MOMS OUT THERE!! :)

This is gonna be a random post. Because I just bought a dress online and the colour don’t suit me because I’m way too tanned! :<

McD’s cheapthrills again. But I’m so sorry, tomorrow is the last day already! Catch it if you can! :))))

Hoho, I’m so tempted to catch it tomorrow since I’ve always wanted to try this since its launch..

McDs why must you launch the 1 for 1 immediately after filet-o-fish 1 for 1 and frappé 1 for 1?!?!

-_____-

FAT DIE ME.

I’m glad my day turned for the better towards the end, because the start of the day was just horrid. So many bad news – problems with my summer exchange, i mean multiple problems -_-, and then my mid-term results had to come as a second big blow.

Though I gave up the chance of meeting my JB peeps for Crystal Jade’s XLB buffet @ Holland V (which they’re enjoying and savouring now!), I’m glad I did so. At least I have slightly more time to churn up my assignment! Instead of enjoying the company and food, and end up being majorly stressed with deadlines..

Gah, so many things to do, so little time. I’m left with LESS than a month till the end, till closure of the semester. Excited as I can be, yet, I am really racing against time, for revision, for assignment, for catching up with webcasts even.

–

& I was just blog hopping as usual – fashion blogs, lifestyle blogs, and food blogs sometimes. But I’ll always hop to reading Timothy Tiah’s blog, I like the stuffs he writes, about life… He’s the co-founder of Nuffnang, some really big shot especially in the blogosphere around asia-pacific region. && THE BEST THING I read today, is him writing about Humility.

It made me reflect.. (No, not me. I have nothing to be proud of.) If only all the more successful people like him remember humility, remember where they all begin. The world would be a better place to live in.

Anyone of you who needs a little reminder, please head over to his blog and read it! :)))

–

Also quoting him, “When it rains, it pours”.

It was exactly how I felt for the past few weeks or so. When the bad things come, they come all at one go. I hope its time for all the good ones to come already..

Assignments, school commitments, studies, and everything had been taking a toll on me. Today, I finally feel a slight heave of relief, from all of this. Extremely glad. One last assignment to go, and its full time mugging marathon till the finals. :’)

I CAN DO IT. ^^

For now, please let everything be smooth-sailing for me already!!!

–

& One good news, I’m on contact lenses again! (Sometimes…when I’m less lazy because I am trying to avoid wearing it for long hours to prevent straining my eyes.. Heheh.)

Can’t wait to be able to doll up during trips and when meeting friends! :DDDD~

>_< happy girl is me!

ANNNNNDDDD. CHEAP THRILLS YET AGAINNNN!

McD cheapthrills! :D

This is valid 5th – 9th April! I’m so gonna get it……….even if I have to get fat :P

McD filet-o-fish 1 for 1!

& This is only valid from 5 – 6th April 2012! =))

Satisfy your frappé and filet-o-fish cravings if you have any tomorrow!! :DDD

xx

Till I need another avenue to destress. :’)

An extremely happy Chinese new year!!! :D

Have a splendid holiday!

May all of us be more blessed in this new year.

I’m typing this entry on my new MacBook Air (MBA)! YIPPEEEE. :))

Been mentioning to my closer friends that I need an upgrade soon and finally, I got it online through Apple’s RED FRIDAY promotion after the brother (Felix) told me! :D Got RM311 off the usual price thanks to the promotion, yay!

If you’re wondering.. I’m no spenthrift!! I’ve been using my previous Compaq laptop since my first year in polytechnic! So its been a good five years(?) and recently its been extremely laggy and slow due to old age as well as it running outta space.. And I decided its a good time and reason (excuse) to change!

Its my second day using it and I’m trying very hard to get used to the Mac OS platform.. Everything here is extremely new to me! Very willing to learn though, I’m loving my MBA, very much. Especially its light weight. :’)

I’m so making sure that I keep my stuffs properly organised inside my MBA!! A promise to myself.

Teehee, alright. Thats all folks tonight!

Pictures!

Opening my parcel~

My beloved! <3

Last Thursday, I went to Timbré @ Old School with my friends! :D We love the local band 53A very much!! :’) It was definitely worth it to climb that 30825294 flight of stairs up the hill just to listen to them.

I’m already anticipating my next visit to wherever to listen to them! Hehhehehehh.

Timbré @ Old School!

My B and I :D

WQ & RY! The drinking kakis.

Was writing to dedicate a song for 53A the liveband to sing. G took my phone and said hello to my Mommy, took a photo of me and sent it to my Mommy on Whatsapp. & Mommy replied 'Why so happy'. Lolol..

The four of us!

:)

Thats all the photos I took with my iPhone!

Bangs for fringe. & I can't wait for them to grow! =(( Its been two weeks actually. Imagine how short it was after I just cut. Dear hair, will you just grow faster?

–

P.S. dear current Mac users, does anyone know of any FREE apps/programmes that is compatible for use on my Macbook to blog? I used to use Windows Live Writer on my Windows OS. Please introduce them to me if you know! Much appreciated!

Kkkkkkk Toodles! Didn’t intend to blog so much initially. Teehee!

Have a great week people, CNY is just days ahead! I CAN’T WAAAAAIT!

I don’t mean wasted by drinking, getting drunk and wasted, but literally wasted the time off.

Anyway it all started because i saw that my lecturer uploaded new notes for the coming Monday. I wanted to print it in advance so that I won’t have to rush to do it on Sunday night.

And so I switched on my laptop. No idea what I did, anything but printing notes and time just flew by. And by the time I switched it off, with the last agenda being my original intention – print notes. In fact I almost pressed the shut down button and suddenly recalled I haven’t printed the notes at all.

So you get what I mean by procrastination messes up my life?

I intended to get a good rest tonight to start my weekends right but old habits die hard.
Ugh.. Extremely displeased with self.

Forget it. I must learn to be more disciplined. 2012 resolutions, I shall always keep it at the back of my mind.

–

First week of school is finally over. I expect the next 12 weeks to float by, though it’s going to be tough, I know.

Upcoming presentation on the 30th of Jan! I can’t wait to get over it, really.

And soon enough before we all realize, it’s gonna be the crazy mid-terms. I haven’t exactly consolidated all the dates for all the tests but I think it should be much more manageable than my previous semester. *fingers crossed*

Speaking about school, I’m trying very hard to love the modules I’m taking this semester.

Lecturers are always the major deciding factors, I feel. They either make or break the class, in the sense they either make the students like or dislike the particular module, don’t you agree with me?

I’m hoping for the best! I wanna do well. :)

Alright I guess it’s time to crash after so much whining.

Have a happy weekend everybody!

xx

ps: have you shopped for your CNY CLOTHES?! Faster do if you haven’t! It’s in a week’s time! :’)))

After attending Bioinformatic’s lecture and practical today..

Monday blues are bound to stay.

The level of boredom cannot be described with words. Boring is an understatement.

Oh myyyyyyy.

I hope I pull through this module. I am so very tempted to withdraw from this module and take ecology instead. Except that I don’t like to give up easily.

So I will pull through this.

I promise to sleep early every Sunday, so that I can have the best concentration on Mondays to make the best out of it.

I’m looking forward to learning useful things from this module to aid in my FYP in the near future! :’)

I wish for better school days!! Especially looking forward to level3000 modules, because finally I can study things I like! BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE!!!!!! :)

On a hind note, I hope the workload isn’t too heavy!!

Some happy photos inside my iPhone taken in Taiwan! :)

Isn’t this cute!? HEHE. Cupcake-shaped! :D

I’m carrying a poodle! :DDDD

Ain’t she a sweetie!!! :))) She doesn’t fiddle at all when I carry her!

How I miss my long fringe. I look retarded with my short fringe, which barely reaches my eyebrow! Grow fringe, GROWWWWWWW.

T’was taken with my iPhone!! MAD LOVE MY iPHONE’S CAMERA!! HAHA.  Though I’m still missin’ my Blackberry’s qwerty keyboard, I would definitely prefer iPhone’s camera. ^-^

Its exactly 1 month and 6 days to Chinese New Year.

Before Christmas and New Year arrives, I’m already looking forward to CNY! ;) Its my all-time favourite, because of new clothes, new shoes, everything NEWWWW :)

Anyway, this time, a lot of the photos are not with me because it was taken with my lil bro’s camera. So, meanwhile.. self-loving photos for you! I’ll sort the photos out and update my trip soon! :DD

Mommy love :)

with my new ear muff! :DD CUTEEE THING.

As you can see from the photos, the quality is still quite bad right? Hopefully its because I didn’t remove the plastic film from the phone yet, when taking the photos. :((

the lil bro. one of the pathetic few photos i have with him becos he refused to take photos :s

my loves. :)) daddy&mommy. they are the best! <3

lovee my parents! <3

& guess what. I met WQ in Taipei, in the SAME HOTEL somemore!!

We only found out that both of us were in Taiwan thru’ twitter, and then it was way toooooo coincidental that we stayed in the same hotel as well.So of course we had to take a photo together :D HAHA!! BUT photo quality is bad. >_>

Alrightttt I’ll be back with more updates!

For now, I LOVE TAIWAN :))) and I want to go back there again!!  Hehehehehe.
