These fancy things will never come inbetween

Thanks for the celebration guys , to the people who made poly wonderful . If it weren't for you guys , i would probably be dreading school every single day. I look forward t seeing you guys each time , everyone so different in their own ways but perfect together . i love you guys from the bottom of my heart , could never ask for anything better.

loads of hugs and kisses . 

God secretly answered my prayers ! i told God last year that i would want letters instead of gifts for my birthday! words are so much more meaningful ( to me that is ) , so thanks brandon and aaron for the letters ! 

and special thanks to sissy ! i love you alot and pray that you'll win souls each day in brazil and for protection ! 

Headed over to little india , to this dim sum restaurant that everyone speaks so highly about for my little belated birthday dinner w rayson and bestie! 

bestfriend: im gonna bring you t a place t eat dimsum, just follow and dont ask where

me : LITTLE INDIA AH ! 

bestf : *stun* ya so smart

too bad alson missed all the fun we had , we started speaking in chinese as we entered mustafa ! i've got no idea why but the 3 of us were going crazy in there . overwhelmed by the number of people plus things around . they practically have everything and anything in that place , all sold at a cheaper price. We initially wanted to go for supper but we ordered too much at the dimsum place . 

Congrats to those who graduated , sudden realization that i will be graduating in a year's time . 

3 years is going by too fast ! ): i wish i had more time , i dont want to grow up ! 

saizeriya located at bukit timah plaza , second level just round the corner ! lunch w edwin and clarence , i must say these two have got good persuasion skills man.and yes they persuaded me to go sogurt located near coronation plaza , 

FROLICK IS BETTER .Just saying.. 

shinhye and sengyau came to join us as well! (: our study time was a major fail , we ended up playing monopoly deal .

i have not been updating this space for a pretty long while now , some pictures to share. Pictures edited via Instagram . If anyone out there has a better photo editor app , please tell me about it . 

too many things happening over the past month , one thing i've learnt is to have our focus on God . You'll realise everything else in this world will not matter anymore .You wont feel bothered about relationships w others , how sometimes people's perspective and views on you will unknowingly shape you and your behaviour.  All you want to do is care for others more than yourself , putting the children of God first and just wanting to do everything for God. 

i feel happier now & also thanks to bestfriend .Feeling encouraged as each day passes , praying for bestfriend's salvation. it may take years but i know it will happen ! 

mother's day celebration w relatives at West lake . i totally enjoyed every moment of it , grandparents and grandaunts acting younger somehow ,  how they did not mind posing for photos with cute hand actions . 

cousins going crazily high at every gathering . Must try to plan an outing with them , just us cousins . 

i must say , i've got really good looking cousins ! 

as usual , when we have our mother's day celebration , we will celebrate jonathan's , grandaunt and my birthday together . ( explains the 3 cakes on the table ) 

i really can't wait to see where bestf will take me to for my bday , although it'll be a belated one cuz he'll be in camp ): 

oh ya and katherine ! (: this sweet heart is currently staying over at my place , having htht every night before we sleep ! friends like her are people i should treasure ! (:

i want to go out with veron and adopted brother !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

its so funny being around the both of them .couple made in heaven sent down to make my life happier 

when i have a problem , i go to veron and she tells me an answer which deserves a hashtag sign #win.

so many things to learn from her , such an angel !!

veron if you are reading this : PLEASE STOP EXERCISING , ITS BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH. 

YOU ARE TOO THIN.

shall update this space w more photos next time ! hehe 

i really thank God for Lara again , this girl came by holland to accompany me for a little while and also she helped out . i've never done opening at HV outlet by myself before , the last time was with Hanjing . Had to get use to the mini chopping board and tiny sink . oh how i miss Bugis .. 

after this girl left , it was miserable and quiet . After my shift , took 7 to town and waiting for Car at Zara . When a girl steps into one of her favourite stores , her eyes will light up and her mind starts pairing all the clothes she sees , in her head . Reaching out and fingers going through all the fabric , touching each and every piece she comes across . The most wonderful shopping experience ever , thats why pretty clothes makes me happy inside . 

Carisser finally arrived and we headed to ion for our teabreak , little chat over ice tea and hot milo , with mouth watery soft bread at provence . The bakery which Veronica introduced me to , when it comes to cupcakes , bread or anything baked . Veron knows best ^^ 

trained to Yishun for our daily dance practice , enjoying every minute of it . We decided to do a video  and lipsync to " call me maybe " . Just us , reg 9/10 ! 

i love how God does not straight away speak to me as of how to teach the net lessons , but he puts me through it . So that i really teach and share with the cell group about my experience and what it has taught me . Having a heart and compassion for those around especially for those who aren't close at all . Not just by talking to them , but really having that sincerity and heart to know more about them and the troubles they have been going through . It takes alot of effort and it gets us out of our comfort zone , the circle of friends that we all have . Caring more about others than ourselves , not being self centered . We also cannot have that expectation of others to care for us , i guess lesson learnt is also . To give and also not to expect anything back in return , not to be too calculative about things . You will realise you will be a much happier person like this (: 

Please leave them at my door

Floral prints / pastel colors / metal ( glitter ) is back this season and im going crazy over them . Maybe  not pastel , but i was literally going crazy at Zara . My all time favourite place to shop at , but now its not the time to splurge on all these .. i will always tell myself to save up to buy all these , but i will end up spending my money at restaurants instead . Filling my tummy up is more important than pretty clothes . Especially with bestf around , going for buffets and especially patronizing any Japanese restaurant has been a norm for the both of us . Such a waste of money right? i think if i were to stop cabbing entirely for a month , i could up save to $200 SGD or more than that . 

psst , i've been eyeing on the feather ear cuff earrings for over a week now from topshop . It cost $16SGD , for one side. they are so prettyyyyyyyyyy !! if you are unsure of what a ear cuff earring is . 

check out ULI's blog for a picture of it (:

wish you were here

i really want to thank this girl yesterday for making work so awesome ! i think i was on the verge of crying , but this girl distracted me and talked about everythinggggg else like CAT , OWL & BIRD  .                                and our outing the week after good friday , all six of us .Really cannot multitask when im working with her , thanks alot dear for cheering me up .

i guess i've been learning alot lately , going through such a hard time managing all these things on my shoulders . Till i've neglected those closest around me . i guess every one will have their own fair share of problems and responsibilities . I guess mind just tripled as the days went by . 

caring for 13 people isn't easy , let alone their spiritual growth are my responsibility now . Its easy to teach the lesson , then leave the group once after cell group is done . but no , i would not be able to connect to the members well if there isn't the relationship there . God is really giving me a bigger heart to care for all of them . I guess i finally feel how a net leader should feel , knowing that God wouldn't entrust so many lives to me if i couldn't handle it . As it has the same logic as " God wouldn't let you get tempted by a temptation that you cannot overcome " .

i really thank god for bestf actually , giving me phone calls every night to encourage me not to give up and being really supportive of everything . even offered to take my grandma out for her daily exercise ( that is if i was not free ) .i wish bestf would transform and miraculously become my sibling to help me out at home and take away some of the workload and errands. Been really busy and dont need anything else to give me more stress. Its my holidays and im feeling like its a start of my exams . 

But i really thank God that all these " extra workload / errands " came during the holidays .

you know the feeling of loneliness ? i dont really bother if i feel lonely myself , but i get bothered if my mom and grandma feels lonely , or anyone else around me feels lonely . I dont want them to ever feel that way . sigh . i know its a horrible feeling

i wish andrea was around ...  

i wish my dad was around more often 

i want my family back tgt in sg 

how long more will this last ? 

to know my mom is happier if both of them are around . 

i will be okay , i will get by .

im use to people leaving 

i just want my mom to be happy . 

NOT FOR THE HUNGRY

had this really long ago , when we had combine service with 7/8 at raffles city . this place is located at the basement , directly opposite Ben and jerry's . i did not really enjoy the food here though , i had omelette pizza for lunch . 

This place is located at MBS , first floor . When i went there , there was the narnia exhibition going on , im not too sure if its still there . But you can try entering via helix bridge and if you look down from the entrance , you'll see the restaurant , they serve mainly burgers .I highly recommend you to visit this place . Awesome stir fried onions mixed with some kind of " secret sauce " in your burgers .

this picture was taken really long ago , i think a few months back ? tea time treat with bestfriend at Haato . if you guys visit haato , you should try their beef Bolognese spaghetti . Its the best   

this is what i usually eat if i patronize Xin Wang ,  maggie noodle with luncheon meat and egg ( i will always give the egg to my mom or whoever im eating it with ) so ya , the plate can easily cost you $8 or $6 bucks , when it only cost maybe a $1 ? i love eating pineapple bun w/o the pineapple haha . i love stinking my teeth into the thick slab of butter and warm and slightly crispy bun. 

Ice cream place  ( not too sure of the name ) located opposite world of sports / this CD shop at tanglin mall . Look at the range of pastries , cupcakes etc . All so pretty and colorful , want to lay my hands on them so badly . Should bring veronica there ^^ i think she will love it . 

sakae sushi with bestfriend again , we can patronize this place at west coast plaza like 3 times a week man . we practically go there every month for our student buffet or ala carte if we are not that hungry . The place to go if you want some cheap japanese buffet , but i have to admit , the food isn't that wonderful . Its on the average side

lunch with zoe dear at ion . I can't remember the name of this place but there serve really awesome noodle and meat . i have never tried such taste pork and chicken slices before in my whole life . 

ps : i ate my veg that day . 

after which we headed down to FEP to get our nails done , it feels really good to get a foot scrub done . paid total of $44 dollars?As we had a student discount , i guess the only headache you get for doing manicure and pedicure is choosing the colors . Im pretty sure i am gonna do glittery  gold the next time round .

cupcake from high society , i am not too sure if this place can be found in every " That CD Shop" , so anyway , the little cupcake for my morning breakfast .But i dont really fancy cupcakes though , so i licked the whole top part ( chocolate icing ) leaving the bare looking chocolate cupcake there for mom to finish it . But i must say that the thin slice of chocolate cake is pretty good , you guys should give it a try

best international buffet ever , look at the chocolate lava cake with ice cream , alaskan crab and more. They serve a wide variety of food though and deserts . It was to celebrate Shin Hye's birthday , and the meal was on the house . Really thankful towards her parents . Dinner time buffet will cost around $48 SGD ++ . Its quite worth it if you are a big eater . you guys have got to check this place out yourself ! 

located on the second floor of marina square , near the escalator.

had megumi ( sunset way ) with bestf again , had my gyu don and UFO maki , i think many of you will  like this , its crispy on the inside . Its kind of a mix seafood maki , salmon with crabmeat and i dont know what else . UFO maki is $12SGD + gyu don ( beef rice ) $13SGD . 

done , i will blog more about food soon !
