Faith to take chances

 HELLOOO. I know i haven't blogged in awhile :O It's cause i've been v occupied!! Hehe in a good way :) I'm not in the best mood to blog now cause uni applications really stressed me out like shit but i'm gonna do it anyway!! CAUSE I WANT TO :) Shall blog about the past 4 days BRIEFLY cause i'm flying off tmr MORNING and i shouldn't sleep too late! I cut down on a lot of pics but i'll probably add them in after i get back from London!

11th March

FINALLY MET RACHELLAAA. It's been so long omg :O But it feels like nothing really changed!! :) As always hehe. I went to the exercising studio in the morning and then rushed to her house for brunch!! Brought a change of clothes of course. Hehe then not long after Chow came! :)


CREPES AS USUAL HEHEHE. SO YUMMY  

Chow with the huge plate of fruits!! I was v full as expected haha but SUPER SATISFIED :)) Yay we managed to catch up on quite a lot of stuff!! Although whenever we talked about As i got a little bit depressed but that's inevitable :/ Hehe but still had fun! Her parents were super nice as always!!

Rachella wanted to try llao llao so we went to JE by train!! Cause Chow had tuition there so we decided to just go there so she can leave later haha. 

HER FIRST TIME TRYING LLAO LLAO. I tried the cookie sauce for the first time!! IT WAS REALLY GOOD HEHE 

Stayed here for awhile and took some pics yay 

Then we found a spot with good lighting to take pics (THUMBS UP) 


YAYY :) 


GOOD LIGHTING RIGHT.

Hehe then we went to look at shops!! Rachella bought quite a lot of stuff hahaha. She bought shoes, accessories and clothes!! SHIOK. Chow almost got a dress from H&M but she was being indecisive and decided not to risk it hahaha. After Chow left Rachella and I went to Factorie! AND I BOUGHT A DRESS HEHEHE (YES, AGAIN). I really like it :) Hehe then i had to rush off to meet a buyer so we left! HEHE OVERALL A REALLY GREAT TIME WITH THEM :)) 

12th March

Arranged to meet the St Margs girls!! HEHE I WAS REALLY EXCITED. Could only meet for dinner so i asked Nic to meet me first! :) Didn't do much at the start of the day haha but i did go to the gym cause i felt fat :( 

Met her at Botanic Gardens MRT and we headed to Star Vista!! ATE AT HOT TOMATO HEHE. Took our time and sat here for awhile longer after we finished eating haha, just to talk!

And since Rachella wasn't doing much either i asked her to join us!! Haha she came shortly after we left Hot Tomato!

Walked around (quite aimlessly) and just kept chatting cause Star is pretty boring haha. Eventually we found a place sit! Didn't manage to get Gong Cha so we walk back to the mrt station to get Koi instead hehehe. AND GUESS WHAT, Sher was giving tuition at Star's food court so we just decided to meet her and head to Island Creamery tgt!!

Basically dinner was at 7 and ice-cream was at 5 haha so whoever could make it just went lorh. 

Took the train to Farrer and walked to Serene Centre! A place which brings back so much memories for us :') Hehe we bumped into Ms Ong (our sec 3 co-form) otw!! HEHE IT WAS NICE SEEING HER. Although she looked really tired :O 

SELFIES AT THE SCHOOL BUS STOP 

Just took as many pics as possible hahaha. The 4 of us sat down first! Nic and I were full from milk tea so only Rachella and Sher bought ice-cream haha. Shame cause the ice-cream here is so good!! Then Luk Ching and Nickii came! :) At about 6+ we changed the meet-up location to Holland V cause Div wasn't going anymore so we didn't have to meet at town! (cause she was coming from tuition and her tuition centre is near town haha) Haha then Tanny managed to meet us at Island first!! :)

GROUP PIC HEHE. Luk Ching and Nickii couldn't join us for dinner :( It was great seeing + talking to them anyway!! :) 


Took the train to Holland V and alighted before Ching! Haha then we waited for Danielle to come and it was so amusing cause usually she'd run to us and start screaming but this time she didn't :P Cause she was tired from work!! Haha but she was still talkative and fun! :) Couldn't decide on where to eat and Danielle suggested Mu Palour so we went ahead and tried it!!

It's a rather small but pretty place!! Thank goodness there were enough seats for us haha.

Selfie with Nic!! :)

Made our orders and paid at the cashier! I ordered Eggs Ben haha cause they mostly sell burgers and i don't really eat burgers...hehe but their all-day breakfast was good too!

YUMMMMZ. It wasn't that filling haha but good enough lah! :) 

Then Grace Chia came!! So glad she managed to come :) She came from work too haha and at first she said she wasn't gonna go! YAYY got to catch up on a lot and found out a few interesting things hehehe. OH and Grace Low managed to go too!! Haha so weird for me to include her surname :P But yeah she didn't plan to go at first but she sort of surprised us and went eventually! :) Hehe so thankful. As usual we made the most noise omg and WITHOUT ANY SHAME. It was so amusing haha i miss being all noisy and weird with them. I think all of us didn't really change :)  

After we were more or less done it was time for picture-taking!!  


Not posting individual pics for now cause i'm too lazy to edit and i wanna be fair haha.

LOVE THIS PIC :) Yay combined science buddies!!  


And spastic selfies with the help of Grace's fish eye lens haha

THEN WE LEFT :) It was about 9+ by then and Andy started having admin time at about 8 haha SO RARE. It would've been so cool if we got to talk for 2h but sadly it was a v important night we so couldn't :P Haha i still texted him though!! 

 AFTER LEAVING WE SAW MS LUM (our sec 4 emath teacher) :O So we bumped into 2 teachers that day!! SO COINCIDENTAL HEHEHE. Yeap then after that we left!!

Most of us left by train and Nic and I alighted at Botanics and took a bus home from there :) Seriously missed all of them!! SA really can't compare to St Margs....the culture at St Margs is ten times better although at the start of JC i had this impression that they were similar!! How wrong i was haha. Still so thankful for this bunch :) Haha then once i boarded the bus at Botanics i immediately called Andy to plan where to meet the following day and stuff!!

 13th March

BOOK OUT DAY HEHEHE. They went to the Discovery Centre so they booked out from JOO KOON. Omg...hahaha i went to the studio in the morning then met him in the afternoon at his house!! Didn't have time to travel all the way to Joo Koon to pick him up or anything haha. It was pretty late by then like 2+ going to 3? Hehe but we still went to Sentosa!! We planned to but wasn't sure whether we'd really go but yay we did! :)

$4 to enter.... :O Haha we didn't stay for v long!! 

 Mainly went to sit the LUGE!! YAYY. Haha sorry if i use "yay" too much :P  Andy is annoying cause i suggested buying the 3 ride package cause it's so much more worth it but he thought it was only 2 rides so he said no -.-

EXCITING. Is this called the sky lift or smth? IDK LOL. ANYWAY WE WERE BOTH KINDA SCARED HAHA. 

Quick selfie before going on it!! 

IT WAS FUN BUT SO SHORT :( And Andy kept speeding when there were so many "SLOW DOWN' signs?! I didn't wanna lose him so i went fast too hahaha. 

Then we went to walk on the beach!! I have so many more pics but no time to edit + post :( Haha sand got into our slippers the moment we stepped onto the beach so we just took them off and walked bare-footed! Forgot how it felt like omg it was really nice haha. 

BY THE SEA. Didn't dare to go too far in cause i was still carrying my bag haha. So if i fell everything would've gotten wet :O 


A very nice picture

Making good use of the brilliant lighting hehe. Ignore the last pic i added that in to fill up the space... (all the more you'll look at it now) HAHAHA 

So we walked all the way back, washed our feet and went to grab a bite!

Idk why but somehow we got hungry so we went to our fav place- TOASTBOX!! We are forever ending up at Toastbox haha. Hehe then we left! :) 

My mom invited Andy to join my family for steamboat at Hai Di Lao haha. I told him we didn't need to go at first but after considering for quite long we just went hahaha. FREE FOOD FOR HIM AFTER ALL. Went there straight from his house without changing :P But it didn't really matter lah haha it was just a casual meal. We spent most of it talking to my cousin haha and i'm glad that Andy's slowly getting more comfortable with talking to him :D  

REALLY GOOD STEAMBOAT EXPENSIVE BUT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (THUMBS UP)

Hehe then at 9+ my cousin drove us home!! Andy stayed at my house for awhile to help me with my SMU application! IT TOOK QUITE AWHILE. At 10+ i still wasn't done and i didn't realised that it was so late alr :O Like close to 11 haha. So i quickly told Andy that he should leave first!! So yeap he left and i continued with the application haha. It's so troublesome wts -.- I regret not getting it done earlier :( Ugh what's new me procrastinating again :P At least i got it done i guess haha. Slept at 1+ that night but woke up at 8am :P

14th March

Got up at 8 for the NUS Open House!! Cause Andy booked in today so we wanted to make full use of our time!! Although it kinda sucked to be up so early haha but it was worth it cause we got to spend more time tgt :) Agreed to meet at Redhill at 8.45am haha but i just took my time lol so i was quite late :P I didn't know Ws was meeting us at Redhill too haha if not i would've rushed!! Ps to make so many people wait :P But Raymond decided to join us at the last min so he was kinda the latest haha. 

From Redhill we took 33 to NUS!! Could've taken the shuttle bus from Kent Ridge pshh but Redhill's more convenient for Andy haha. We reached slightly before 10 and went to attend the FASS talk! Raymond didn't cause he's totally not int haha so he went to walk around, ask questions and buy food :P The talk was so boring omg. But okay i don't really regret going for it haha. After the talk Andy went to ask about computing and after waiting for him for awhile we decided to just go to a diff hall first haha. So they followed me to Hall 2 to talk about Social Sciences!! I'm glad that i asked more qns today haha so now i have a clearer idea of what i should do in Uni! :) AND I MET PEARL AND NIC THERE :) They both had other people they were with haha so didn't really need me to accompany them :P Rachella and Div were at Yale NUS but i didn't have time to go and find them!! :/ Oh well too pressed for time :O Haha Nic and Hugo went for the business talk with the 4 of us! It was damn boring omg we were so bored haha. Andy was falling asleep lol so we just left halfway and said bye to Nic and Hugo haha. 

THEIR CAMPUS IS LOVELY

Haha then we were super hungry so we decided to go have lunch at IKEA! Ugh didn't manage to see Sher and Grace too :( I AM GONNA MISS THEM :/ Two weeks should pass rather quickly though! Hopefully :'(  

QUICK PICS BEFORE LEAVING. Haha really love the lighting here 



Credits to Raymond haha. It was bad enough that Ws photo-bombed us and some random guy behind decided to photobomb too?! HAHAHA KINDA FUNNY.

Some girl came over and asked "would you like to take a photo with our board" and Ws said "i want to take a photo with you" like IMMEDIATELY AFTER. Omg there was like one second of silence and awkwardness then i couldn't help but burst out laughing hahaha. Like omg why did you say that?! :P Quickly left after she took the pics and elaborated on their event haha. 

The queue was really long but the wait was alright! Wai Han joined us haha although he ate before going. YAY GOOD FOOD :) Then we left! Took a bus to Redhill and then a train back to Lavender :) Raymond and Wai Han stopped at Lavender too haha. 

It was actually pretty late by then so we just chilled for awhile and he had to pack his bag for field camp :( Followed him to Pasir Ris as usual was got a little emotional cause i'll really miss him :( Okay sorry you had to read that cheesy part haha. But so sweet he gave me smth hehe shan't reveal what it is here! 

Ugh but even after he left he had to worry about my uni applications which made me feel terrible :/ Cause i haven't applied to NUS yet :( LONG STORY but basically i don't have the admission PIN so i can't apply! And i'll be away so i have to ask my dad to get it for me. Had to trouble my mom tonight too. Even though i was upset that she made me feel more stressed i know she still really cares about my application! AND SHE HELPED A LOT :') Soooo i know it'll work out eventually. Just got super stressed at that point. Really need to stop messing things up. I'd be doing myself a huge favour by not procrastinating so much!! YEAP. I'll keep trying to be better (muscle arm)! Okay shall go now cause i desperately need sleep haha. Tired from crying due to the stress :( 

I will try to blog while i'm there!!! HEHE YEAP. I'm not particularly excited but i'll try to make the most out of this trip :) CYA THEN!
