Simply trusting

HII. I'm sorry i've been quite lazy to blog hahaha but okay here i am! :) The past few days have been quite eventful! But i didn't take a lot of pics haha oh well I REGRET cause now i don't rmb what exactly i did over these past few days...hmm i'll try my best to recall haha (not that it's THAT impt). 

Good news is i've been feeling a lot better! :) Like i don't really feel sick anymore haha but i'm still having runny nose and a slight cough. SHOULD BE OKAY SOON :) Hehe gonna start with what happened last Friday!!

27th March 

Soooo i finally met Pearl and Sotong again!! :) we almost didn't meet cause Sotong is lazy as heck and didn't wanna have dessert with us (insert angry face emoji). HAHAHA but we met in the end!! They took their BTT together so the plan was to meet them at Clementi straight for dessert. But i had to meet a buyer before that and she took FREAKING LONG to arrive and they ended their test early soo they both went home for dinner first!! And i met Pearl and Clementi for dessert while Sotong took her time to eat and travel to Pearl's house haha.

Went to some Korean dessert cafe called Frozen cause apparently Pearl's been wanting to try their dessert haha 

Ordered this huge cookies and cream dessert!! IT WAS PRETTY SATISFYING :) Although at first we were damn scared that it was just nice inside hahaha but nope there was ice cream and some other stuff!   

So then we took a bus from Clementi Mall to her house!! :) And Sotong met us there haha. Our sole purpose of going there was to play taidi LOLOL.

HEHEHE. It was so much fun!! ALTHOUGH I KEPT LOSING HAHA but it was so nice to finally have our taidi session again :) And her mom kept giving us food hehe so nice.

LEFT AT 11+. We kept trying to figure out if our buses were still operating....Sotong insisted on waiting for 77 but Pearl kept trying to tell her that it's gone haha. BUT GUESS WHAT, after waiting for like 15-20mins 77 really came!! HAHAHA. And i was feeling lazy/sick so i cabbed :P Hehe it was short but fun!! :)

28th March

BOOK OUT DAYYYY. Didn't see Andy for like 2 weeks?? But after the day ended it felt like we were meeting up as per normal all this while :P Haha things just felt normal and right! :) Sooo he booked out at 8.30am and at 10am i went to Paris Ris to pick him up! I THINK HE BECAME SKINNIER AGAIN :( Haha oh well. But so proud of him for surviving field camp!! Hehe so we went to his house and he had to go to the bank or smth so as usual i waited for him to change! Then we had lunch with his family :) I gave his family a box of biscuits and his aunt a smaller tin from Harrods haha. Such a suck up... :P 

I was feeling a little embarrassed during lunch cause i was taking awhile to eat...the noodles were so spicy :/ Haha but no reason to be embarrassed lah not like anyone was judging me. Hehe then we took the train tgt with his mom and aunt to Paya Lebar! Turns out that he wasn't even needed there HAHAHA so we left! Didn't know where to go but we went to Dhoby first to buy tix for Insurgent!! :) Bought tickets for the 3.20pm show if i rmb correctly so we had some time and decided to walk around! :)

ENDED UP AT KOI. 

Didn't buy anything cause i was feeling full haha. Hehe sat here for awhile and just talked!! :) Then we just kept walking around Plaza Sing till it was time for the movie! :)

YAYY SO HAPPY I FINALLY GOT TO WATCH IT. I guess it wasn't like the "BEST MOVIE EVER" or anything haha but i still enjoyed it! :) Andy didn't really like it though cause he said that it's v diff from the book, which after reading the synopsis on wiki i kinda agree...haha but i really think that Shaileene Woodley is an AMAZING actress. I just love watching her!! Haha if only i was a movie critique then i can use fancy words to describe how good she is :P

Then the fatty wanted to eat at Itacho so we went!! :) Hehe he's wearing the cardigan i bought him for his birthday!  

DOPE. Okay sorry i keep posting pics of him hahaha  

Posting pics of new sushi cause you've probably seen the rest 543209384 times haha. For some reason we weren't full so we ended up ordering more than usual haha oops 

Before leaving! Don't like how i look in this pic but Andy looks good so i'm just posting it :P Haha wore a new skirt i bought from F21! Quite like it although it's a bit too short :/ HEHE BUT COUPLE OUTFIT ON POINT. White shirt + grey cardigan + blue shoes + blue skirt HAHAHA sorry v lame

 Hehe final selfies

Then we didn't really know what to do next so we just took a bus to my house!! :) It's been awhile since he came over haha good for him my dad wasn't home :P So he only saw my siblings! Haha so he left at about 9 i think :)

29th March

No pics from this day!! I didn't realise it until i went to edit these pictures haha. Oh well i'm just gonna briefly talk about what we did then :) Sooo it was book in day and naturally there were the book in blues :( SO FAST OMG. He's been booking out on a Saturday and booking in on a Sunday for the PAST 4 WEEKS. That's so sad :( Kinda good that i was overseas during that period haha. So he met Ws and Keyun for brunch at about 10 haha and i went to meet two buyers!! Straight after i went to look for him at Chinatown Point's Coffee Bean and they were still there. Yay so we talked for awhile then left! :) Cause Keyun needed to go buy food for her family haha. 

So i just went to Andy's house cause he wanted to apply for the NUS scholarship! I was really sleepy hahaha was super tempted to nap again :P Halfway he told me that he was shortlisted for SMU Business and i started getting depressed and worried cause i applied WAYYY earlier than him but no call no nothing :(( Yeah oh well lifee. It was pretty sucky but as usual he was vv patient with me!! It must be difficult to deal with me oh well. Then after i sort of calmed down it was about time for dinner! KAY NOT REALLY IT WAS LIKE 4 HAHAHA. But his book in time was 6.20pm and they were told to have dinner before going! So yeap no choice we just ate super early :P ATE AT ASTONS :) Halfway i suddenly had a tummy ache omg :/ And his mom helped me apply some medicated oil (i think) and IT REALLY HELPED!! Like as we were on our way to the mrt station i gradually stopped feeling the pain. They told me not to send him to Pasir Ris but i was being rebellious (hahaha don't judge) and decided to hop on the train as well when it arrived :P Cause i was seriously feeling okay alr!! HEHEHE nothing he could do to stop me (peace sign). And no regrets following him there! :) He was damn early anyway so at least i was there to accompany him :D So yeap that was about it! :) Went home and watched Glee :))

30th March

Finally met Nic!! It's been awhile :) Passed her her souvenir from London haha which is the SuperDry T-shirt!! I'M SO GLAD SHE LIKES IT :)) Hehe so as planned we went to The Assembly Ground for lunch! THEY HAD A ONE-FOR-ONE OFFER :O Hehe we chose to have pizza instead of pasta cause she was craving for it!

PRETTY GIRL :D The place is pretty too!! 

HEHEHE THEY WERE SO GOOD. And we saved so much money from the offer!! One pizza is like $18/19?? Ended up paying $10 each :) 

A shame that we couldn't finish it though haha.

Subsequently we walked to Plaza Sing cause Nic wanted to check our some place that offers underarm waxing for $38 i think and you can go as many times as you want!! PRETTY GOOD DEAL. I put my name down too haha so we're going back on Wednesday :) And after that i finally mustered up the courage to call SMU to find out whether i missed the call/text or smth. Cause in London i did change my SIM card so they wouldn't have been able to call me! Okay but they said they're still processing it :( So nopeee they didn't try to contact me but i guess i'm happy cause i can stop worrying about whether they did! And they didn't directly tell me that i got rejected or anything so that's good :) I'm glad i called them! Still worried about the outcome though but i guess that it isn't gonna help anything.  

Then we walked to Somerset!! MIDWAY WE STOPPED BY RUPINIS GOT OUR BROWS DONE HEHE. It wasn't very painful but at some points it really hurt :O I think cause my hair is quite think and long hahaha. Ugh pitfalls of having thick hair :( If only my eyelashes were thicker and longer haha. But yeap we were done in like 10 mins? REALLY QUICK PROCESS. Hehe then we went to Orchard Central to look at clothes!! DIDN'T BUY ANYTHING :( Kinda bored of shopping alr :O We decided that we shall do smth diff the next time we meet! :)

Picked a random spot to take pics :) YAY HER OOTD IS SO NICE :) Mine is kinda sloppy though hahaha oops i need to be more creative and stop pairing skirts with plain t-shirts :P 

THIS LENS IS SO BLUR :(

Used the clearer one yay and it's so much better :)

Haha so we went to Cine for awhile and walked to Tangs cause Nic wanted to look at the SuperDry store!! BUT IT'S NO LONGER THERE :/ Haha then we went to Topshop to ask if they were hiring and the woman just passed us some number. We also realised that F21's hiring but their pay kinda sucksss. $6.50/hour and no extra pay on weekends! Yeap so not considering F21 anymore haha. She doesn't really like her job at Wheeler's so that's why she's trying to find a new job! Lucky for us for now we get to be picky about our working environment but in the future it'll be different :( Oh well. Gonna cherish this privilege! :) 

So yeap when we finally ran out of stuff to do we just went home :) I got emotional again thinking about uni and just my life....it kinda started when my sis called me "stupid" while we were sort of quarreling. And it escalated quite quickly haha cause i started thinking about how i'm really not smart and all and that she on the other hand IS pretty smart. OH WELL. But it's not important who's smarter lah. Ugh i'm tired of being so emotional. I feel like ever since we got back our A level results i've never really been at peace with myself...like i keep thinking about how i'm inadequate in so many ways :( That there's nothing about me that can compensate for my lousy grades :/ Idk i just wish that i have smth to proud of. I've just been filling myself up with negativity idk how to stop it. I'm tired of being so bitter and angst :/ I apologise that you have to keep hearing me talk about this!! Haha i guess i just need to let it out. Hopefully time will heal :( It's becoming more about how i am as a person than just As now... i feel like there's almost nothing left of my self-confidence. Okay this is becoming really depressing i apologise again!! I JUST NEED TO KEEP TELLING MYSELF THAT I'LL BE FINE. And fully trust God's plans for me!! YEAP. SIMPLY TRUSTING :))

Okay i shall go now then haha. Gonna watch Glee to take my mind off things!! Ugh hopefully after i get into SOMEWHERE i won't feel like i'm such a failure in life. Really need to help myself because no one can help me unless i put in my own effort. And i think it's really been quite tiring for those around me who keep trying to cheer me up but to no avail. I promise i will try harder!! YEAP. Shall go now then :) BYEEE :D

HUI LAI LE

HELLOOO. I know i haven't posted in awhile!! :( It's cause i've been quite sick :/ IT SUCKSSS. The plane ride back was shitty cause i felt like i was having a fever and i couldn't sleep properly. Oh well. Enjoyed the service nonetheless hahaha and thankfully the 13 hours passed rather quickly! I'm not actually having a fever now but i feel really giddy once in awhile and i have a runny nose + cough so yeapp... haha but i'm a bit better alr. I actually started on this post ytd but my keyboard decided to stop working again so here i am now :P Haha shall make this quite brief! Just posting more pics from the trip :)

Huge M&M store :O

On our way to the Natural History Museum!

Rather awkward photo haha

YAY HUGE DINOSAUR SKELETON. Admission is free btw so cool!!

Sorry i'm too lazy to arrange the pics properly haha

WITH MY FRIENDS :D

These 3 look super intimidating haha. 

Then we met the rest for lunch! My cousins got up really late so that's why we went to the museum without them haha.

That night we took FOREVER to find a place to eat!! Everywhere was full cause it was a Friday night if i rmb correctly! So we walked A LOT haha and eventually went to the Indian restaurant. By then it was like 9 :O But the food was really good!! No pics cause i was too hungry to think of taking photos haha. This was taken on our way back! :) IT WAS FREEZING HAHA. But somehow it's fun to walk in the cold! :) We end up talking a lot to try and distract ourselves from it haha.

The following day my aunt brought my brother and my older cousin to watch Liverpool vs Man U!! My bro's fav FC is Liverpool haha. So my mom, Min and I WENT SHOPPINGGG. It was our second last day in London and the only day i really got to shop! HEHE SO I CHIONG-ED AND BOUGHT QUITE A LOT OF CLOTHES. 

Had jap food for lunch before going! It was a pretty small place haha but their food was pretty good! :)

We went to H&M, Forever 21 then Topshop!! I bought sooo many things at F21 haha ugh the outlets in Sg suck.

In the huge Topshop!! There's a bubble tea stand?!

AND CUPCAKESSS. And in the basement there's a cafe hahaha. SUPER COOL.

They have a photobooth too!! 3 pounds to use it once haha. It takes right after you insert the last coin which explains why we weren't at all prepared for the first photo :P 

Designed our own tops at Topshop!! That's the Taurus logo haha. AND YOU CAN SEE MY NAME AT THE SIDE. It's bigger than i expected it to be haha oh well. But the material is really comfy so yeah it was pretty ex but def worth it :)

Pic from their game!! THEY HAD SUCH GOOD SEATS. But it was such a pity because Gerrard, who is my brother's FAV player, got red carded during the second half 38 SECS AFTER HE STARTED PLAYING!! :( My bro was damn sad omgg. Imagine going all the way to watch your fav soccer player live and he only played for less than a minute....not to mention they lost 2-1 :( Oh well so obviously he was really disappointed but i'm sure it was still a great experience!

Then the 3 of them took the train back to London and we met for dinner! :)

Smiling again by the end of the day! :) HAHAHA he looks like he's selling Liverpool merchandise!! Idk why my aunt bought so much?! :P

LAST DAY. Ate at this place called Burger & Lobsters and they only have 3 dishes on their menu haha. 20 pounds each?! :O The cost of living here is really high!! One bus ride is like 4 SGD and an average cab fare around 20-30+ SGD?? 

THE FOOD WAS REALLY REALLY GOOD. The lobster was super fresh and went really well with the sauce!! I ordered this instead of the whole lobster haha and NO REGRETS omg it was delicious. Haha their last dish is a burger! Hence the name!

Finally we went to Harrods! I didn't do much there haha. Halfway my older cousin had to leave for sch! Min left in the morning. So it was like the 4 of us left! Only pic i took there was of our ice cream hahaha. Which wasn't that great :P

At 7 it was time to go!! Pardon me i was horrible dressed :P Pretty interesting experience flying without my mom. My brother was damn sad cause she wasn't going back with us hahaha. I was quite amused by him :P Had to slowly find the lounge and usually we use the Silver Kris Lounge which is by SQ but it wasn't open! So we had to use Maple Leaf lounge some Canadian airline and omg it's so lousy compared to SQ's?! Really can't help but feel super proud of our country because we've really come so far!! Haha bet you've been hearing smth similar lately..

At the lounge! This was all they had haha. At SilveKris lounge it's like an actual buffet!

Hehe selfie before take off!!

I was feeling sick on the day i got back so definitely just stayed at home! Wednesday i met Grace for dinner! :) And in the afternoon i had to go to Andy's house to help him photocopy his supporting documents for SMU and then mail them haha. It was so nice to see his mom again!! I knew i'd miss his parents haha.

Went to J8 for dinner! And settled for Din Tai Fung :)

I don't look good here but just posting anyway hahaha. Grace didn't allow me to order fried rice with pork chop cause i was sick :(

Yay talked A LOT as usual and it was really great to see her again!! IT'S BEEN FOREVER since we've talked properly haha. The last time we met was at NTU open house i think and even then we didn't really get to talk! SO YEAP IT'S BEEN AWHILE :)) 

Yesterday i just stayed at home to rest! And it didn't help lol cause i wasn't feeling any better :(( Today i still feel giddy too idk why this is happening -.- OH WELL. Idk what medicine to take haha. I'm feeling unwell in so many areas :( Perhaps i should go see a doctor but idk haha. It doesn't feel that serious although i definitely feel uncomfortable :/ WE'LL SEE. Today i helped my mom meet one of her buyers and later i'm meeting Pearl and Sotong! :) SHALL REST FOR AWHILE BEFORE THAT HEHE. And tmr is BOOK OUT DAYYYY. MUCH EXCITEMENT. Haha kay shall go now then! BYEEE ;)
