This is it.

I guess this is it. Each and everyone of us has our ups and downs in life. I feel very blessed to have everything that I could possibly accept. However, the in-devious human nature wouldnt want us to stop right there and wants to ask for more. This is just what I thought of when I find myself eventually telling others my problems, and friends eventually telling me their problems as well. Only shows me how much we all live life differently hoping to reach our goal, yet there are so many problems holding us back.

Here comes the most annoying feeling ever. I want to fall asleep forever and not think about it. Cos the minute I open my eyes, THIS will float into my mind subconsciously. All I want for now is to act blur and live life. Its like when I tell myself,"dont think about it dont think about it dont think about it." It'll eventually still end up in my mind.

Hate this feeling. urgh!!

December Burrrrrr

Trust no one but yourself;

Have always felt the importance of trusting no one but you yourself only. Then again, I get told I should'nt be so caught up and all. But thats prolly just me. There's this feeling that I should allow myself to trust others, but one thing is, me being me,I dont really accept other's trusts easily.

Its been a rather chilly December just yet. Raining in the mid days and sometimes through the night.

Today has been my most exciting boring-lazy day just yet. Which involves me sleeping and eating and sleeping and eating again. All the eating and sleeping was carefully planned out cos this was what I really wanna do today. KFC's flaming crunch was awesome possume! Had my second try of it today. Always having that ultra fattening feeling after a good chicky meal. The weather today was too good for indoors. Too good that I had to snooze before and after my meals.

Work has been crazy but fun. Its really tiring though. Already expected all the leg aching and all. But at least I get to walk around and talk. Part of me cant wait for this job to end so that I can slack and prepare for the new semester since I didnt get an official break after the exams as I started working immediately after the last paper (i know... i asked for death.). Its great to know good people at work. At least, those whom I can communicate and joke around with. 

Met up with yoke so that I could spend theseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Long awaited really. Got these tickets since the beginning of the year and wanted to spend them watching breaking dawn pt2. So determined to!! and finally 2012 reached the timeline of November. & I MANAGED TO USE EM. >:D

Had a gooooooooooooooooooooooood and loooooooooooooooooooooong seoul garden session with yoke. WE LOVE STUDENT PRICES SO MUCH!!!! 17$ and we sat there for close to 3-4 hours?? Love seoul garden, but always felt the adult prices were so not worthit and all. We finished almost 2-3 plates of meat. All the marination of chicken was great man. Thats what I like about seoul garden that all the steamboat places along bugis street do not have. Our soup was strictly yong tau foo style~  Their ice cream "upgraded" cos there are mini chocho chips inside them now. and it tasted so much yummier!

Staring at that hot plate above makes me wanna have another go for seoul garden. But the student timings are so odd that only really students have time to accommodate. I learned that putting garlic in the soup could actually give off a slightly spicy taste. hahaha. I was spamming garlic everywhere when Yoke wasnt around. For a steamboat. there are 2 rules you need to know.

1) All steamboat needs to have hotdogs
2) As long as the food is slightly burnt, its edible

We had so much time to waste before our movie that we most likely swept all parts of town. Shopped around at H&M and played with these mask which we had so much difficulty taking.Partially cos we were scared that staff would ask us to stop and place the masks back.

Nevertheless! A shot of us. And so, this is Yoke for you guys if you have not known. I like her but she secretly doesnt know it yet. hehehe. Cos she pushes me on when I feel -ve about myself at times.

Finally a proper shot of us before heading for our IMAX MUVEEEEEE!!! We were already to worn out from a day of walking. we just lepaked at a corner of lido. Breaking dawn pt 2 was great! The sound effects were so booming!!! There were so many hair rising moments during the show. Great movie!

Picca of bunny I snapped today. Look! he is all neatly groomed! I think the bunny recognises me *announces proudly* cos when i bend down and go "heyyyyy bunnyyyyy" it comes to me and allows me to pat its head! cute or whattttt. but its really a pain in the ass for biting all the wooden furniture at home. :/

Found this quote off tumblr quite some time ago. Whether or not it was really from Albert Einstein I do not know. But this is a good quite for sure. It allows me to see where I am standing right now, and where I should be standing for my future. You decide, if you wanna follow the crowd or walk alone.

Today not only marks the one and only 29th November of 2012, it's also my momma's birthday! Currently enjoying herself in Chiangmai now.

Managed to clear the many anxieties inside me today. Really happy about it!! :) 

I always feel so empty after coming home from a run. Especially when Ive no more shows to watch. I mean, literally empty in a sense that, I step home, sit down on a chair and cool down, and think,"whats there to do now?" As you can seeeee! Thats how boring my life would presume.

Daily motions.

But if you wanna cry
Cry on my shoulder;

Lyrics of this song; cry on my shoulder kept repeating in my head during work and aft work. so i had had had to download this song. Its super old school, but old school musics is gooooooood!  Simple lyrics, yet it has an impact. This song of abt 5 years ago comes replaying back in my head.

If you need someone who cares for you;

If you're feeling sad your heart gets colder.

Ive always thought there's always two different persons inside me, however, I don't believe thats considered two-faced. Im just two different person at work and off work. idk why. ever since.... my first ever job at CHECK? As much as i wish to be more jovial at work, but just that meek and quiet. Intervention please. have no idea why i tend to tone down whenever im at work.

Recently Ive been falling into several layers of nightmares everytime i close my eyes. I cant decide if i should consider them nightmares, or just some random dream or random people popping into my head. So many different dreams that now im starting to have the habit of googling what my dream is about the moment I wake up.

Mama's birthday the other day. sissy brobro and i trying to squeeze into my phone's screen. Brobro as usual unwilling to look into the screen and making his greatest effort to look cool. All these S3 and Note are going so viral. It makes it feels as if iphone4s is just a technology of yesterday. I used to think I wouldnt be tempted by looking at those who uses android and all. But now whenever I look at my phone, I cant help but think of it a small touch screen rectangle that hangs on me occasionally.

With the cousins! there were still more who didnt make it that day. and the cake was hugeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

 Played with the paranoma function;

So there you have it, my mum sitting lyka boss in the middle of this furniture shop that we were shopping around

More of it! Really like this paranoma function thing. Aside from the fact that it can look quite small, this is probably one of the coolest thing that iphone has.

This artsy flower I saw in the furniture shop. I really love it! Its so contradicting how I love flowers. I really do! I love flowers! I long for the day, some magical prince would surprise me with a bouquet of baby pink roses. Or maybe, surprise me everyday with pink roses. hehehehe.

Ive never liked pink. and ive never understood the saying of; girls must like pink and guys must like blue. Used to hate pink so much that Ive always felt i could never make friends with those girls who likes pink.

Never expected such a tomboyish person like me, would eventually like bimbotic stuffs like... flowers and all. hehehe.

Zouk the other night with Gloria Carlson and Changap. It was really a random one I would say. Nevertheless, met up at night and had a great laugh at random things that came by. This picture below was our first shot. Before everything went crazy and when the path back to zouk went groggy.

 

AND THIS. was after one bottle was over. Really close to crazy already. My eyes cant even open already. hahaha.

Overall, good company but lousy music. Boooooo!

Bringing laziness to a new whole new level.

Skipped running today because....

1. Someone said (with a dramatic face) that I lost weight.
Hehehehe. Not sure how true is that cos I prolly know my numbers better than anyone else. But, that's something every girls wants to hear rightttt. So I shall reward myself to be a little lazy today.

2. I'm having severe minor momentary muscle aches.
Yes I do. Have a little muscle pull and muscle ache. (Severe and minor don't even mix well in a sentence la.)

3. I'm just too mf tired today
Super tired the moment I reached home. No wait. Was already feeling the tired spells towards the last hour of work but endured it till I reached home.

As you have read, these are 3 biggest excuse I have for myself to not run today. Took me about 10min to think man. Only goes to show how much crappy excuses I can have for myself.

Practically collapsed on the sofa aft I reached home with a bag of durian chips in my hand. Stayed stagnant for about an hour and thought to myself,"ahhh. I finally found a spot for me to nua at home aside from my study table and bed."

:)

Sun sun sun day.

Express not impress

Today is a day where I turn chauffeur. From the central to the west. Then to the east and back to the west again. I like driving alone at times. It's like I finally get a space for myself and listen to the radio. When I'm allowed to space and think on momentum.

I hate how much of a light sleeper I am. I can wake up to the sound of my brother's phone vibration which is all the way in his room. Yup. Light sleeper but heavy snoozer. That's like a total of two people inside me.

Before you even judge. Think about how those whom you have judged wouldn't let you get pass so easily with those judgmental comments. They would prove you have much low you have stooped to make those hideous judgements.

All is fine. Just some thoughts I need for myself when making decisions. It's so difficult to make a right decision, or if the decisions I have made is even right or not.

This post is so disoriented. That's only because its 2.13am, sleep isn't coming and there's a swirl of thoughts in mind.

Rainy saturday

You snooze you lose;

Wanted to take a short snooze since the weather was so inviting, but the moment I closed my eyes, all that happened was that I fell into two nightmares that was so sinking deep. Its to the extend where I was trying to hard to open my eyes to return to reality. Right when I opened my eyes again, there I laid in bed for a good whole hour, unable to fall asleep again. Maybe that was a sign to not sleep now, just in case I would'nt be able to sleep on later at night. So here I am, attempting to write a post.

My current nails! My skills arn't that bad right! Inspired by looking at those nailart photos on instagram. These nails would probably get me scolded at work if the bosses come in. So, im hoping i wouldnt be seeing them at all, or at least till im getting bored of this design.


One month ago, I saw this pair of beautiful heels/wedges. whatever. its just a pair of extremely high heels. One month later, I still see this pair of heels there. Love it so muchhhie. But i dont see the point for me to buy it luh. First of all, I waddle a little wearing this pair, and secondly, I dont think ill ever have a chance to wear this even when I go out. I mean, come on, just take a look at Singapore. Have always felt that Singaporeans are actually fashionable enough, however, no one would actually wanna play full dress up all the time under this unpredictable weather. Throw on a shirt and shorts, and we would be ready to leave house.

Couldnt resist the moment I saw this heels again today, and quickly put them on. If this pair of shoes had a voice, it would definitely say,"Buy me Jaime, buy me please!" At some point of time, I wished I had that average height so that I would look perfectly right wearing heels. There were wayyyyy too many heels I wanna get from there, so many different colors patterns and designs. Love them all!

Managed to try the Starbucks Christmas drink. OHYEAHHH. Finally no longer a green horn where everyone talks about the new drinks in Starbucks and i dont know any of them. Cranberry white chocolate frappe, not a bad choice!

The clawww.

Only you can answer for what you have sinned. After which, it'll be a start of a new partnership.

Met up with the intern friends the other day. and finally had a chance to eat a togi. The place which everyone has been talking about, has been tweeting about, has been instagramming about, has been 4squaring about. But ive yet to try it. The place was a little smaller than I expected, nonetheless, its not about the surroundings, but the people that counts. hahaha. Has this great plate of stew filled with probably everything that was in the kitchen. Sausages, maggie noodles, tofu, kimchi, golden mushroon and more and more. Sausages were the bomb!

Had dessert just across the street before departing chinatown. Milk pudding is always out of stock whenever I wanna have it. So there you have it, my mango roll dessert that really looks more and more like a fine art piece. But still! am determine to have my milk pudding one fine day. M-U-S-T.

Miss this dogdog so badly! unfortunately, Ive reached a point where, if i wanna go visit him, i would probably need a good solid reason for going to my uncle's house since my grandmother has passed on. I wouldnt mind just popping by and bringing him to a pet's playgroud for a day (there should be such places like that i guess?). Would love to break in to their house and kidnap him for a day. hehe.

Awwww. Aint this furball so cute all wrapped up with a blanket?? As white as snow and so well camouflaged. This is one dog with the most sorrowful yet alluring eyes ive ever seen and THATS how all these men's best friends gain sympathy and get treats.

 

Have always thought that, God has his plans for me. Although they may not be exactly how i want them, the plans he has made are those that i can accommodate without tiring myself out. I may always long for something way too ambitious, however, I might not possess the capabilities of doing so. I may have plans that I think would bring me to good places, but God has plans for me to bring me to where I should belong. This has taught me that, instead of fumbling and grumbling the moment when something doesnt go my way, take a step back, cool your mind, and think about all the possibilities that could happen for taking this alternative route.

My Marmie is having a wale of a time in bangkok right now. and yes, its her second time in bangkok this year. Hope she's enjoying every moment of this short trip before coming back to Singapore. Its so amazing how my mum is able to plan her time and schedule so neatly.

Yupp! thats my mum waving to herself after realizing the self shot function on the iphone. This picture was taken last year when we were on the plane back to Singapore from Korea. Miss all the shopping for facial products from shop to shop with a truckload of freebies and crazy rides from all the amusement parks.

I've figured the 3 things i need in life are; personal drive, determination and resilience. At least these are the 3 i need right now. 

Rain x 10

Stay home Friday

Always rains in the noon through to late afternoon. The weather is as indecisive as i am. It cant decide if it should rain wholehearted or sun so fiercely. most importantly, it rains right when im about to get out of bed. isnt that suppose to be the best time to sleep??

Woke up as late as possible and headed to thomson plaza with my brobro to do some grocery shopping. no one can stop us from buying anything cos its only the two of us. hiakhiak! bought lotsa food! food to make guo tiao soup, food to make pasta, food to make salad and food to snack on. we basically bought everything so that we wouldnt have to travel out to buy anymore stuffs. these are signs of lazy people planning for the near future. 

Pigged out at home with this great bowl of salad and Avengers. Wont get sick of watching these superhero actions! I think this is my first salad bowl for the entire year? Nevertheless, great effort for making this healthy bowl. hahaha.

Was just chatting with my colleague yesterday about what we should do in the future. Given that we are both arnd the same age, we kinda dont exactly know what we wanna do. Although i do have a slight idea of what i really plan to do, whats stopping me is, the thought of officially having to work and not being able to go back to studying as a back up. Thats gonna be my next milestone graduation. I dont wanna be tied down to a deskkkkkkkkkkkkkk.  I wouldnt have any part time job to back me up or something. Stepping into the working world is probably something I need to face soon.

But for now, let me enjoy the little things that come by and hold the status of a flippant student.

snipets and more snipets

W.I.M.W.P

November is slowly creeping in, soon it'll be december already. & back to work after exams are over! To think about it, im actually verryyyyy quiet at work, even more quiet than the usual me, but people at work always think i have this extremely loud and extrovert lifestyle. HAHA.

The holidays has been to a slow but good start. I wanna meet up with everybody who ive missed out during my birthday, but we are all busy people. ohwells~ one day we will all find time. :) this holiday other than working, and being a partial stalker on facebook/twitter/instagram, i havent have much activities just yet. okay. maybe i should stop being a partial stalker. its just plain weird. 

Sleezy morning/afternoon on Tuesday, was lazing in bed till Vicki whatsapped me. and we were out on a mini adventure. hiakhiak! met vick and it started pouring like crazy when we on the bus. but we were totally saved under my umbrella ella ella. Seeked shelter at this small little corner eatery around little india.

First time trying indian vegetarian food actually. The different types of curry were good! love the potato actually. so much so i might actually have a chance of being a coach potato soon. We were quite amazed how spiciness can actually grow onto you. hahaha. it literally grows after a few mouths.

Indian snacks and tarts that you dont see everyday. So many different types and colors.

Met yoke in town after that. we were just roaming aroundddd. while yoke wrote on my overdued scrapbok. finally!! my scrapbook is done! just left with sticking all the polaroids on it. woohoo~~

photo taken of my favorite shirt that is starting to turn puffy and fluffy cos i wore it too many times, showing signs that i shouldnt wear it too frequently anymore to prevent the shirt from spoiling faster. but i still love this not-full-sleeve-not-half-sleeve shirt alot!! its like one in a million and i wouldnt be able to find a similar one anywhere anymore cos its probably off season nowww.

Met up with reb at bugis after she was done with her paper. and we had steamboat + BBQ!!! woooohooooooooooooo~~ after sucha long wait!  check out my paranoma pictures man. im so amazed that 4S could actually take such pictures.

The spread of nomnomzz! the beef was practically neverending. and the pork was toooo goooooood. Too much of butter and yoke said even the chicken tasted like butter popcorn. haha! the food was good really! nothing beats have good food with good company. it'll just make the meal even tastier in every way.

Check out this bamboo clams!!!!!! omg. i didnt know these were actually clams. i thought they were just vegetable kind of bamboos all along. not bad. new discovery of the night. as of now. These amazingly superbly crazily salty things are so gonna be on my steamboat list from today onwards, knowingly they are actually seafood. im still pretty amazed. they are actually clams in a bamboo form. like wow. truly amazing how these things exist under the sea.

It felt like we were one random table along no where having our steamboat. super LaughOutLoud when you look at our table from afar. The picture below just shows it all. last table standing. its like we dont belong to any of the two shops at both ends of the picture.

One last picture of our expanded faces before leaving the place with a extraordinary happy stomach. then again.. its time to do something about my round face. since i have so much time this holiday...

Where is my will power!!! its suddenly gone and ive got zero motivation. i need to find it back somewhere somehow. idk how im gonna do it. but if i dont find it, idk when im gonna pluck up my courage and find my focus all over again. ;/ 

1st November

It's the beginning of a new month all over again~ one step closer to 2013 and one step closer to graduation day. Exams are now over, can I consider semester 3 over alrdy? And that I might be one step closer to graduation?

Started now right after exams. Giving me no time to rest at all. But I'd rather be out than staying at home the whole dayyyy. There are pros and cons working in a boring place. Good thing you'll have nothing to do. Bad thing is boredom stretches, and you might just be even bored-Er than you think!

Lets all hope for a smooth November and it'll soon be...... the season of giving!! :)

#ootd to work and at work!

Vision mission

What you see is what you get, and what you see, will make an impact

Started off this week with a rocky monday by having my IB paper in the morning. idk how to feel for this exam really. feels like im able to do, yet unable to write with my best. I want to rant so badly, but i shouldnt. Because i didnt even make the effort to start early nor study hard enough in the first place.

Had the honor of eating this plate of good food from canteen 4 with Reb Gloria and Adel. Driving back to NP aft our papers and it brought back so much memories. ahhhhhh. 3 years ago we were only poly students who detest climbing the crazy hill everyday just to get to our classes.

One does not simply......... eat this plate of bento set without sprinkling of chilli flakes. chilli flakes makes this bento look more appetizing. haha. slacked a while before heading home to crash. This bento isnt simply within reach. Many times we wanted to head back to NP for this bento, but its either tooo late or the canteen is down for some renovation.

So much changes in NP. canteen 4 is now air conditioned. and windmills and secluding NP recently. it'll be cool if we could steal one and place it at home. like how the windmill easily turns when its in contact with the wind, stealing a windmill would be like a trophy for brisking pass the 3 years of poly. so, actually stealing one would be quite symbolic.

MOS milk tea has topped the billboard, pushing KFC's ice lemon tea to my 2nd most favorite drink afterall. One does not simply leave MOS burger without getting a cuppa ice milk tea.

Bringing the eating of child hood food to a whoooole new level! now, we dip it with goober peanut butter and jam, or dunk it with nutella. taste better that way. haha. all these snacks only looks appealing to me during the exam period. snack & study snack & study. Check out my brother trying to photo bomb sooooo badly with halloween-ish looking eyeballs. 


So many child hood food cant be found these days. like the sticky choco rice thing, or this packet of small round seaweed, or the cheese biscuit that requires you to spread the cheese on your OTOT. all gone and vanished. maybe because kids these days only breathe and eats 9gag. thats all.





I like looking at interior design pictures when i get bored. Technically, i should not have time to be bored right now during this exam craze. but.. still..... you cant tie a mind down with the thought of studying. really. tested and proven by me for several years.

Outta all the different pictures ive seen, I like these two pictures most. Looking at the stairs reminds me of the different paths taken in life that would lead to an eventually different and better place. Stairs are pathways that would lead to greater and higher places than you've used to be.

Trotting up the steps one by one, you wouldn't know whats up there at all, just like life, you might take a long and different path and yet not knowing whats the outcome at all. The path you take might not be the path you actually wanted, now you are given a choice if you should continue climbing up or take a different stairs that would lead you to a different path. But when you are up there, you might wanna slow down and look back to see how much you have achieved. and praise yourself for believing in taking the first step forward.It also shows how much we could have been succumbed to temptation and taking an entirely different path.

On the contrary, these pictures would also show, how much indecisive of a person i am. Giving myself too much options although i might not be able to contain any, and these being all tangled inside. Just an opinion. hehe.

I dont really know why i decided to write again. about anything and everything at any point of time. maybe its because, just the other day yoke reminded me how much i wanted to be a writer in the past. i would love to be a writer and let my thoughts flow. they might not be smooth sailing thoughts, but these thoughts are what that leaves an impact in my life. Another reason is, i needa let my thoughts flow somewhere. too much reciprocal questionings in my head is bringing me no where.

Have been thinking about this for a long time now. for about several months??

Its amazing hot scorching the sun is right now. yet there's still cold wind breezing in and out. Feels like im somewhere out there in another summer-ish country.

Exam fiasco

Sunday was no ordinary Sunday

For the first hour of my birthday, I was actually spending a great effort trying to memorize sustainability development for my IB paper. and of cos! since its birthday right, definitely went to kpo and see who was the first one to wish my HB on FB. surprisingly, it was someone... i hardly know at all. WOW to that!

Yup, and on to the second hour, came this terrible choke from idk whar. and choked till i cried. It felt so odd i dont even know where to begin. and through the wee hours of the night/morning came this text from Dad who was in HongKong, wishing me HappyBirthday. AWWWWW :')

These were the few moments i remembered when the clock striked 12. and i automatically became 21. wowwow.

Had lunch with Mums, Sissy and brobro after church.Love DTF's XLB!

The food feast! Just take a look at my brother's cheeky face at the corner. Trying to squeeze into the picture with so much effort.

Love DTF's doumiao best! so leafy so healthy! and their chocolate XLB isnt that bad after. good snackerzz i must say!

Just take a look at the crowd standing around watching... GANGNAM STYLE. As long as the tv continued playing Gangnam, the crowd just wouldnt disperse. this is crazy and its getting overrated i must say. and my mum was inspired to get one of his CDs. save me from agony. my mum is definitely gonna blast OPPA GANGNAM STYLE on a weekly basis.

 #ootd & #wiwt ! loving the clash and crash of colours and lines.

Went home and napped a while, and was waken by sissy who came back from shopping. andandand! the sissy got me charms and clips for my bracelett!!!! MAJOR YAY TO THAT!! these were the charms on my cake actually. and sissy actually got it for me! yayyyy major yayyyyy!!

So i guess this is the feeling you'll get when someone buys you a charm for your bracelet. Feels super YAY inside, cant wait to buy more charms soon! :D:D

(when there is no inspiration to post, the words would'nt flow out right. this post is one example.) bye!

My 21ST Superstar ★ Birthday!

저는 스물 한 살입니다! 

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆

Yupyup! Like how the title suggest it, Im 21! and definitely love my birthday celebration. Filled with people I love and people I care about :) Celebrated my birthday early on the 20th, one week in advance from the actual day, 28th. It may be a tad too early, but thats prolly the only time i have since its the exam week (year end exams are spoilers cos they always hover round my birthday). Ohwells, time to brace it instead of condemning it. Theme of the celebration was none other than; SUPERSTAR!

Nicely blinged on the cover of my scrapbook. finished with a bimbotic pink princess crown at the corner. Have always felt that stars and crown were very very intrinsic designs. Starting to grow onto the crown design. haha.

Gloomy clouds covered the sky that Saturday. It rained like crazy that day. So much for hoping it wouldnt rain. and best of all, it rained exactly around 5 straight to about 7.30. and because of the rain, there was a little delay in the celebration i guess? everything was pushed back a little as the place was quite inacessable on rainy days i must say. 

Anyway, I'll walk the talk of pictures on the way...! and pictures were taking all over the place from facebook instagram whatsapp camera, everywhere and anywhere. Sengkew Sengkew everyone for taking pictures capturing every moments. i realize i hardly have any pictures taken from my phone. sadly.  

This was the layout of the place. So surreal and so unimaginable that I would be sitting the midst having my dinner. I had thoughts of how the layout would be, but then again reaching there first hand and looking at the place was a total different feeling. Feels as if Ive managed to plan an event! hiak hiak.  

As i reached, there laid this loooong table so ready to be filled with guests. and the balloons definitely brightened up the whole atmosphere. Gold and silver balloons to match the superstar theme as much a possible. 

AWWWW. isnt the whole place presuming so luo-man-ti-ca?! haha!

It was sucha life threatening battle to get the balloons and i almost gave up the idea of having them because of the rain. It was so inaccessible to transport the balloons to the car and the rain was just a burden. Nevertheless, glad i decided to get them cos they really did make a difference. 

Didnt manage to bring them home because the helium could only last up to 8 hrs and aft that it would be game over for the balloons. It would be quite depressing to see all these balloons wither and die at home. I'd rather leave them there happy, with the impression that they would still be floating forever. 

Close up of the awesome balloons that braved the storm under my huge umbrella from HV to rochester park! was so so so afraid some might burst otw due the strong winds and blew like crazy.

  

am really not a person who can keep up with deco designing. but this time round was an exception. the balloons did a good job beatifying the night. 

Not bad! Was well pursuded by friends to get some balloons for decos else the atmosphere could be quite boring and plain to deal with. 

Paper weights that were in sync with the superstar theme. they look perfect just on the table as a deco. not bad idea at all!

These are some snapshots of the food there. The food was good i must say! ordered their smoked duck breast carbonara. Superb and awesome. Linguine tossed in Cream Sauce with Hickory smoked Duck breast and Chicken fillet. The smoked duck was double awesomeness. Wouldnt mind going there again for their pasta. The ribs were pretty good too!

Their starters were'nt that bad as well. Just that, i only managed to have one small portion of the buffalo wings and then i was busy walking around talking to people already. So! these are some pictures of the foodie foodies!

NOMMERZZZ. All their pastas are good i must say. However, I cant seem to find the picture of my smoked duck pasta. sad! 

The playcard with my face filled on it back and front! its a card with the seating arrangement in it. So that I wouldnt have to fret about who sits where on the day itself. Aint it innovative and creative?! haha! i was just using this opportunity to make myself a card with my faces on it cos it seems quite cool when I made cards for my friends with their faces on it. haha! yupyup! it also shows the changes in hairstyles i have and the different areas i have been throughout my life. 

 I dont think anyone can the stand the annoyance of me with a card full of my face. Just imagine me sitting down in front of microsoft powerpoint clicking my face away and twitching them to perfection to fit into a powerpoint slide. Just imagine how mundane that can be.

 the first friend who braved the crazy storm and arrived! 

SHIHSING! she was so amazing to brave the storm and run through the heavy rain. I was already wrapped up in a jacket and slippers all ready to pick her outta her cab. but no. she proved her bravery by running in the rain! yupyup thats shihsing whom i got to know at my first job in my whole entire life. Its been about 6 years now i guess?? so glad that she and Gina could make it!

Soon later, everyone started to arrive bunch by bunch. so glad that this could be a time where friends could catch up with each other. We are all too busy with school and work. Too many different schedules and deadlines to meet. Since they cant find time to meet, i shall be the one who finds time for them to meet! haha!

Friends from internship! From all the crappy moments we've been through during our internship till now, that we are done with internship, we are still together! we are growing into a bunch of elegant taitais that only goes for taitai activities such as dimsum and more. More to come in the future! They are sucha bunch of ON people and times spent with them are to fun. Be it cycling, dimsuming,or geocacheing. 

 Other pictures taken with rebby and gina. Cant remember exactly when they were taken though. Pictures are gold because they capture memories that our tiny brain might forget.

Pictures of yokey who insist we needa smile like :D her jacket was super rockstar-ish! it looked so military. too bad i dont have a front view pic of it! AWWWW. arnt we sucha cute couple!!

Le me, so happy that im not afriad to expose my round face that is quite comparable to the golden balloon i was holding. Lemme enjoy the existence of the balloon before they deflate and wither. 

CUT-CAKE-TIMEE!

The cake was much much much real than how i pictured to be. HAPPY! It was quite a tough deciding what cake design to make. A pandora cake wasnt the first time that came in to my mind actually. there were many different idea that popped into my mind. I call this, the mind incubation in the creative process of thinking what cake design to have. hehehe. Letting the subconscious mind to flow and thinking out of the box having creative ideas that could be completely out of reach. hehe.  

It was a panicky moment when the candles starting melting at a super fast pase. Had to quickly sing the birthday song to match the speed of the melting candles. and make a wish and and snap pictures and and take more piccas!

  With the superstar famfam!

With the marmie who can easily pass off as my older sister some people say. Im not sure if thats a good thing or not! but then again, the mum mum and i totally look like copy and paste many people say. Yeah, i do see similarities in some of my pictures as well. hahah!

 Photos on the go ~ pictures taken with everyone.

My hair can get messier somemore. partially due to getting drenched in the rain. and therefore; such messy and unbearable hair. but still! a happy me with my pandora box! although i look totally calmed and composed holding that piece of fondant. it was actually quick slippery and soft that i had to grip it tighter. it smelt soooo sweet but totally unedible.

Really amazed and  like how real and neatly arranged the pandora word is. and how cleanly white the box is. Im officially falling for white color!! Tha cake flavour was yellow velvet. hehe. sounds super super cool eh?? its lemon flavored cake! Wanted a flavor that was fruity and not chocolaty afterall since it was after a heavy meal. Would love to try the blue velvet cake too unfortunately could only come in one flavor.

 

Each charm on the cake has its significant meaning. There were more to it, but i removed some in the end. Hope ill be able to get more of these charms in time to come! esp the angel charm, love it extraordinarily muchie! 

Growing onto the golden crown charm as well. actually... im practically growing onto all the charms i picked out for this cake. no exception!

  

 

All these charms are actually edible. but no one actually eats them. its wayyyy to sweet to be eaten. Love how detailed each of them are, that i can easily make out what charms they are without thinking back what designs i have sent to customise. 

Cant bare to throw them away! all of them are currenly resting im my freezer. Ask my mum if i can keep them in the freezer for as long as possible. Seriously cannot imagine the day i have to part with them and throw it away.... (getting a little emotional here, haha!)

The #ootd or #wiwd for that night. Taken way before the crowd reached. Was trying my best to walk around swiftly to that i could "dry" myself as much as possible. whats missing is that, I'm wearing my brother's slippers instead of my heels.

My nails that oddly didnt seem like any ordinary nail design. Love how surprisingly odd the crystals fit into my nails and stands out. Its quite amazing how nail polish can now turn into art as well. Had to remove them right aft the celebration else i would be staring at my nails instead of studying. bling bling nails can be quite distracting. haha.

Awww. the cheeky us!

I used to not understand why people must must must celebrate their 21st birthday. Or at least make it a known one. People always ask me how im gonna celebrate my 21st and will feel rather reluctant to reply cos i dont understand the big deal of celebrating a birthday. The thought of having to think of a place and cake already seemed like a big hustle. Until one of my friend told me,"21st birthday must celebrate. after that all the 22 23 24 birthdays would just be normal birthdays!!" which did seem quite true in a way...

Started thinking about possible places to celebrate. Didnt want a chalet or a function room kinda thing. I cant handle the amount of people that would be walking all over the place. really. Was also racing against time to find a suitable venue and to find my cake. Am really happy for everyone that turned up and hope all enjoyed the food and ambiance. It was just like how i wanted, a dinner with friends and family. 

A big shout out to all my friends who braved the storm and came down. Hope we meet again soon in time to come. Thank you for all the presents and thank thank you for making my 21st birthday a complete one.
