making the days count yay

HII UPDATING YAY :) I had a wonderful weekend!! Considering how i have no school on Friday it was kinda like a 3-day long weekend hehe. & I SHALL BEGIN.

28 August, Friday

Guess what i went for Ballare workshop with Pearl!! Haha i didn't expect myself to go. Oh but before that i had lunch with my Inspirar group mates!! :) We ate at Ajumma's at Cathay! I was just with Julia and Yu Jer lol there was supposed to be 5 people altogether but idk what happened to ther other 2 so yeah whatever lah haha. It was a v quick lunch for me (cause i had to go for ballare) but yeah better than nothing!! :)

Haha we were almost 20 mins late for the workshop?? Cause Pearl was having lunch in school then her food took v long to arrive :P Lol and worse she eats v slowly so yeah hahaha. But thankfully they didn't start on time yay so we got there JUST before the workshop started!! :) It was great seeing Yanling there hehe (my arts camp faci). The workshop was alright haha quite fun but i still won't consider joining ballare :P Not particularly interested and i'm not that comfortable with having a dance partner haha. But it was an interesting experience! :)

One of the few girls who wore a skirt to the workshop LOL. Haha we went to Koufu to get drinks then came here to take photos!! Posting this for fun hehe. 


YAYY :) Pearl liked her outfit that day so we told me in advance like "can we take a photo today i look decent" so i tried to wear smth decent too haha. I wore the biz shirt + tights to the workshop and i was too lazy to change the top so i just changed to skorts haha. Eh the pic still turned out not bad HEHE.

I wanted to find Nic after her samba audition so we could catch up for awhile and stuff but suddenly Andy said he booked out alr!! That was at what 2+?? SO EARLY OMG. So if i waited for Nic i would be busy till 5+/6? So yeah we decided to just meet on another day!! Haha and i met Andy first :) 

MET HIM AT BUGIS YAYY. I wanted to go to Uniqlo to buy basic shirts haha. So before that we had dessert hehe. EARLY BOOKOUTS SO SHIOK. Practically had half a day to ourselves!!

WHY

AND YEAP WE WENT TO UNIQLO. Took turns to try stuff haha. And we both bought stuff yay!! :) Then we went back to his house cause we were gonna have dinner with his family!! :) 

HAD THAI BBQ FOR DINNER. It's called mookata haha. IT WAS NOT BAD HEHE. Glad i got to try it!! :) Terence and his gf were there too :D

We spent awhile just walking around and looking at random stuff haha. Then we came here for dessert!! WAH REALLY ATE TOO MUCH. I felt SOOO fat afterwards. Hehe then we all went back to rest and at 8+/9 their dad sent Kahyen and I home!! When we were otw to my house i noticed that there was a tiny lizard in the car??? I saw the tail and thought it was some wire LOL then i asked Andy "why does this wire look like a lizard" (it was damn dark so i couldn't see clearly) and he said "i think it is a lizard" and we started panicking HAHAHA. Didn't take our eyes off it till i got off the car! Then Andy's dad just threw it away haha. What a way to end the night :P Hehe so yeah that's all for Friday!!

29 August, Saturday

YAY SATURDAYY. I had a lot of fun!! First i went for my samba audition at SMU!! Must thank Nic cause she warned me that they'd ask weird questions and even ask you to sing haha so yeah i was sort of prepared for all those! And my interview went pretty well :) Although i regret saying that i will choose samba over voix cause honestly idk yet!! I'm actually hoping that either one rejects me so then i won't have to make a decision haha. The audition was alright haha could play most of the rhythms hehe it was still nerve-wrecking though cause so many people were watching me play but overall it was a good experience!!

Had a 'cousins' outing'!! Haha my siblings couldn't go at first cause they had tuition so i just met my 3 cousins as well as my eldest cousins' gf! Then my siblings realised their tuition teacher wasn't coming LOL but my sis was too lazy to meet us so my brother joined us eventually hehe. My second cousin had to go back and pick him up lol :P ATE AT TANUKI RAWWW :)

YUMZZ. Haha i feel like the more i eat it the less i like it though :P IDK WHY HAHA. Maybe it's time to try their other dishes!!! YAY so we sat here for quite awhile and for most of the time it was just Min, my cousin's gf and I haha cause my older cousins went to pick my bro up! So yeap :)

Then we went to Tokyu Hands to walk around!! The stuff there is bloody expensive?! Like an umbrella costs $45 and a tiny chair cost $110. IT WAS CRAZY. Haha at this point Andy came!! He was having lunch with his friends so yeap we both had lunch plans with other people.  Then we left to visit Weilin at her sister's bake sale!!! 

IT WAS AT TRIPLEONE SOMERSET :) But by the time we got there most of their stuff were sold out :( All that was left were the cookies haha so we each got a pack of their cranberry, orange & white chocolate cookies!! IT WAS REALLY YUMMY HEHE.

She was also selling stickers for $1 :) So i got this one!! They're all deep quotes haha i liked all of them LOL couldn't really decide but eventually i picked this yay. 

HEHE I'M GLAD WE WENT DOWN TO SUPPORT HER :)

Random selfie cause i felt like taking one haha

ANDDD GUESS WHAT, we bumped into Nic and Hugo in town!! I alr knew they were there cause Ws told me he saw my "skinny, tall and dark friend" haha. For a moment i didn't know who he was referring to cause i never thought of Nic as dark but yeah lah she got quite tan recently haha. Not a necessarily a bad thing though! And we really ran into them :D

Then we went to F21 and i bought necklaces yayy. Really needed necklaces to wear with all my basic wear haha. If not i look super plain LOL. So yeah i ended up buying 3 necklaces haha. They're so cheap anyway hehe. Then we chiong-ed dinner at Just Acia cause i wanted to go to the photobooth at the night fest!! The night fest started at 7.30 so yeah i wanted to get to the photobooth a little earlier to avoid the crowd! But Andy's food took super long to come :( Haha but it's okay lah we were prepared to queue! YAY so once we were done we headed to the night fest!!

The photobooth!!

The queue was quite long haha so i went to take pics of the place first while Andy waited in line :P 

SHE WAS SO GOOD!!

Wanted to get churros but the queue was ridiculously long :O

Surprisingly it was bright enough for a selfie!!


They had props for us to use but i didn't wanna use them haha idk i prefer like just us!! I asked Andy to take a superhero mask to match me but he had to take the stupid horse mask -.- SO SCARYYYY. 

YAYY THE RESULT. Haha it was damn funny cause the couple who went before us were super on point?? Like they pose until damn nice and the transition was so smooth haha (we could see the screen from outside) LOL and when i went in i was like "omg i look so unglam" cause i was really sweaty and all haha. So yeap ours is inferior compared to theirs but of course i still love it!! :)

This ugly yellow lighting....

Then we started roaming around yay!! :) HEHE I was really happy to be back at the night fest. Really love the atmosphere and the whole mood of it! Went to SAM first to see what was there! Erm we walked up and down and there was nothing much lah haha. So we took the guide!

ICE-CREAMM. Raw honey with a slice of peach haha. First time trying this and it was quite plain at first but the more i ate it the more i liked it hehe. It was v refreshing!

Me and my ice-cream hehe

Then we went to see some of the night lights!! :) THIS IS SO PRETTYYY. I was v fascinated by it!!

The theme is Netherlands i think haha

AND THE PRETTY BIRDSS

Display of lights at the museum!! 

We walked around for awhile longer then it was time for the highlight of the night!! GARDEN OF ANGELS. The start was quite boring cause it was just there people singing and stuff haha.

THEN THIS FLEW INTO THE AIR!! SO BEAUTIFUL

They thew glitter/ribbons/etc into the crowd haha and it really looked magical!!



OKAY LAST ONE HEHE

Then we slowly made our way out! Weren't sure whether we should continue haha eventually we just left lah. We wanted to cab back but eventually we took the train cause the queue for cabs was insane :O YEAP then he sent me to Newton :) It was a romantic night which was so worth remembering hehe we're gonna go every year!! :D YEAP THAT'S ALL. Thank God we managed to go for to last day of the night fest :)

30 August, Sunday

We met Ken, Gilbert and Nicole for a movie!! Watched INSIDE OUT :D Joy and weilin couldn't make it :(( So yeap it was just the 4 of us :) Okay i'm gonna make this quick haha. 

HAD LUNCH WITH ANDY FIRST. We went to Maki-San!! I felt bad cause Andy wanted to eat cheap but then i'm genuinely sick of food court food so yeah we just ate here haha. Then we went to dhoby to walk around cause we had time then met the rest! :) Oh ya we bought the tickets in advance :D

KEN'S RANDOM SNAPS HAHAHA. LOLOL

Turned out Joy was at Cathay too?? HAHAHA. She was with some other friends lah. At least Andy, Nicole and I managed to say hi to her :D Then we found Ken and Gilbert!

YAYY IT WAS SO GOOD. I cried like twice :( Some parts were quite heartbreaking :/ Nicole cried too so i wasn't alone hehe but i think both of us just cry easily lah haha. Hehe really enjoyed the movie!! It seriously changed the way i think about how i think HAHAHA. Somehow i knew i'd love it once it started!! YEAP HEHE WATCH IT IF YOU CAN. 

FATTY US WENT TO HAVE BINGSU AFTERWARDS. It took us forever to decide what to do after the movie :/ Haha eventually we just went to Somerset!! Andy went to cut his hair so the rest of us came here first! Tried their sesame bingsu which was really not bad hehe. 

Then Andy and i went back to his house!! I didn't do any studying throughout the weekend lol so i finally decided to do some work! In the morning i brought my stuff to his house and left them there haha so yeap i had my laptop with me and everything! Did work while he packed for camp! I like the idea of us doing diff things but doing them while we're still physically tgt haha. It's like we're still within each others' reach you know? HAHA YEAP.

Then at around 8 i had to go off for my family dinner!! My cousin was going back to the UK to study so that was like a farewell dinner lah. And so he went down and waited for a cab with me :)

Had steamboat for dinner!! The meat was delicious haha they always buy super high quality meat (which probably costs a BOMB) hehe so LUCKY ME. 

THEN WE HAD A DURIAN PARTYYY. SO EXCITING. Hehe had a great time!! But my cousin got quite pissed at my second cousin so towards the end of the night she was really upset :/ Oh well but she'll be alright!!

NOT THE BEST PHOTO but yeap just gonna post it haha. Too bad Andy didn't get to have durian!! If he wasn't booking in he definitely would've joined us haha.

Okay last photo :) Had a lovely day! I was happy cause i managed to finish my hw at Andy's house haha. Wasn't expecting myself to really complete anything but i did :D

OKAY THAT'S ALLL. I'm typing all this in SMU Labs haha. I should be doing work lol but just wanted to complete this blog post first!! :) YEAPP. HEHE CYA THEN!

Week 2 in SMU

HII I'M BACK YAY :) Gonna blog about last Sunday as well as my week so far!! It's been a pretty boring week so far haha but ytd was kind of fun :D 

23 August, Sunday

Andy and his friends planned a surprise for Zi Yuan!! He's one of their secondary school friends haha. I was kinda reluctant to go at first cause idk that well but Sammi just asked me to go haha so yeap i went eventually! :) We had lunch at Sushi Tei in JEM!

I forgot to take pics of the food but here's a snap :)

Zi Yuan came really late cause he woke up at the time we were supposed to meet HAHAHA. So we had time to buy the cake and all!! And the plan was to treat him to lunch :) So when he finally came we psycho-ed him to order sukiyaki when initially he only wanted to order sushi lol :P We told him that there's a 30% off HAHA. Sammi had to leave at 1+ so once Wai Han joined us we quickly asked for the cake and sang Happy Birthday yayy :D 

Andy and I wanted to just go back to his house and the plan was that i would study while he packed for camp! Haha but the other guys wanted to watch Hitman so we watched it instead!! Bought tix for the 2.45pm show but it was like only 1+ so they walked around and shopped while i did my work at the food court hahaha. Then we met again at 2.45 for the movie!!

SNAPCHATT

IT WAS NOT BAD IN MY OPINION. Hehe i quite enjoyed it!! :) The action and storyline was quite cool. Sadly it has bad reviews :( Haha oh well. And fun fact: part of the film was filmed in Singapore!! Haha so the actors were at like Gardens by the bay LOL. It was so weird when the female lead said "He's in Singapore." Haha like wah they actually know Sg.  

Then we left after the movie!! Went to Andy's house to rest for awhile, he packed and stuff then we had to go out again for dinner with my family!! :)

Selfies before leaving cause i barely took photos that day haha

My dad picked us up from Redhill!! Dinner was so good yayy. It was at this 'zi char-like' place and we ordered crabs too!! :D SO YUMMY HEHE. Then my dad dropped him off at Redhill! :) 

25 August, Tuesday

Monday was kinda boring so i've decided to not blog about it haha. Basically i had pwr and VUCA and after vuca i went for dinner with my fellow vuca bonduers!! :)

Yesterday i had FA again!! It wasn't as bad as i expected it to be haha. I managed to pay full attention yay :) Hope i can keep this up for the following lessons!! I'm actually starting to enjoy it quite a bit haha. That's good i guess hehe. Then right after FA i went to find Jac and Debs!! We book a GSR to study in :) GSR stands for Group Study Room haha. So it's more private then easier to talk and stuff!! :) Every sem we have 180 hours and each time we book a facility hours will be deducted from the 180 hours! YEAP HAHA

:)) I expected us to talk more than study haha and YEAP I WAS RIGHT :P But i still managed to finish some stuff and overall i had a great time yayy :) Hehe we should meet regularly to study!! :) Since we're all sort of free on Tuesdays!


AND ANDY HAD NIGHTS OUTT. YAY :)) I thought Sunday would be the last time i got to see him and i'd have to wait till Friday (as usual) but NOPEE :D I was supposed to have dinner with Nic and Pearl so since he suddenly had nights out i just asked him to come to SMU to join us :D He felt really weird hahaha. He felt intimidated by all the uni people, as if he didn't get accepted into uni or smth LOL. Haha weirdooo.

Went to pastamania yay!! Ordered our food then Nic and Pearl came :) Had to rush our dinner haha cause the samba workshop was about to start!! YEAP Nic, Pearl and I signed up for it! But Pearl decided not to go haha (she didn't even rsvp in the first place lol). We could've all been in the same group :( So yeah i just went with Nic!! :) And i made Andy and Pearl walk with us all the way to the ACC haha. Then they left!! :/

SELFIE DURING THE WORKSHOP

It was quite fun!! :) Hehe felt good to be able to catch the rhythms haha. But i couldn't play everything fantastically lah :P Still i think i really wouldn't mind joining Samba Masala now!! The people there seem nice :) And i think i'd have fun :D Just need to get through the audition first haha. It's on Saturday for me!! The entire workshop was similar to arts camp just much longer cause they made sure that we could really catch the rhythm and all! Haha yeap so instead of just an hour the whole thing lasted for 3 hours!

THEY PERFORMED YAY :) All the freshies got to play tgt too!! Nic and I chiong-ed to get the bells haha cause it's like the least boring? Yeap hope our auditions go well :))

It only ended at 10.30 haha. Thankfully Andy's lights out timing was changed to 11.30 so we got to talk for awhile :) Extra clingy cause we don't really get to talk as much lol so we make sure we grab hold of any opportunity we have to talk :D FRIDAY IS COMING SOON YAY. Haha anyway today is my slack day lol only went to school for one and a half hours?? PWR -.- Tmr is my 8.15am lesson :( Not looking forward to waking up early but i think the lesson will be quite chill lah :) Haha okay that's all for now!! VOIX audition is soon but i think i should stop fretting so much over it. Honestly i know i can't really sing so i'm not gonna expect much lah :( But i will try my best!! HEHE THAT'S ALL THEN. CYAA :)
