chocolate-y day.


Not really in the mood to blog so I'm just gonna update a little on Wednesday 29/05/2013. Went Vivocity with xianwen to shop for suitable footwear for my future office job. Bought a pair of black wedges (approximately 1 inch) from Mitju that is even lesser than half of my initial budget! Well, GSS is just around the corner, I guess it's time to shop soon!! SALES SALES SALES! 
 


Okay, as you can see, I'm now back to dark brown hair, I look younger now with bangs and dark hair right? Right? No? No meh?

 
Since I bought the wedges in the first shop we entered, we had plenty of time to spare before xw go for her job interview. So we went to Max Brenner chocolate bar to chill for awhile. It's my first time there (as usual) and I'm just so happy to get to savor the thick and rich chocolate!

Our super thick chocolate drink, Pure Chocolate Truffle Granita - Milk Chocolate.
The must try definitely must eat Melting Chocolate Truffle Heart Cake & Shake.
Happy girl.



 We were really full when we sat down but after the melting chocolate cake arrived in front of us, we actually finished it within 3 minutes or so. Not exaggerating but both of us really are chocolate lovers. Totally can not resist the temptation at all. Once we started digging in, we won't stop until everything's inside our tummy.

Oh, I'm so sleepy now. I'll blog again soon about picnic day with xw today. Till then, byeeee!

Dark.

I'm at the far end of an underground train platform. It's a little dim here and there's just sufficient light for me to see every one standing near me but not to make out their face features. No one's talking and all I heard was the gusting sound of the passing wind behind me where the train track is. There were about 20 plus people standing around me but only 2 of them made their presence oblivious. They were wearing long black robes and their faces were covered. Obviously they were there to control and monitor us. The rest like me, were their victims, their preys.

I'm standing with my head down staring at my shoes. I'm surrounded by fear and I felt cold. I'm afraid of looking up to have eye contact with others that were standing around me. Something was telling me this wasn't right and I should run away but running away would cause a commotion too big for me to bear the consequences after that. So I remained at my position and closed my eyes to shut out this creepy feeling.

Then I felt some one squeezing my right hand, without opening my eyes, I know it was meichyi, she's standing beside me holding my hand all the while. She's scared too. And suddenly, something broke the silent air, the sound of the approaching train. This is it! The thing that we all had been dreading of! The train's coming! We turned to look at the train as it stopped abruptly in front of us. I'm starting to experience panic attack and I felt weak in the stomach. No body said a word when the train doors opened. I looked at the 2 silhouettes standing in the middle and started regretting it. They were urging us to enter the train quickly using simple gestures by pointing to the door repeatedly.

"I'm going to die!!" That's what I'm thinking over and over again. But I can not control my legs as they dragged my body towards the door. Meichyi and I were standing closest to the door so we had to enter first. After stepping in the slightly brighter cabin, I turned to my right and I saw my nightmare spreading out all the way to infinity. Besides the cabin I'm standing in, all the rest were dark, pitch black. People started to walked in and filled up the space and I wished the door will not closed and I'll be able to live longer. "I wanna leave now, I'm scared, let me go!!" I kept repeating this while staring horrified at the darkness that gonna swallow me up later.

After everyone stepped in, the train doors closed silently without mercy and with that, all of us were trapped and going towards hell. I'm tearing up now, I can't take it any more.

And then, I woke up.

Yes, I had a bad dream few weeks back. I dreamt of queuing up to die, together with meichyi and a few strangers. It's so scary that the first thing I did after I realised I'm on my bed, I jumped up and on my bedroom light, grabbed my pillow, blanket and phone, off my air-con and dashed over to meichyi's room. I just had to sleep with her, my heart kept beating vigorously and my mind's a blank. This had to be the worst nightmare I've ever dreamt of. It's not about ghosts, or monsters, it's the evil presence. I remembered every details and the fear of not being to do anything is just so overwhelming that I continued to tear even when I'm sleeping beside meichyi.

I guess I had a more happening 'life' in my dreams to compensate the dull life I'm living in reality. I'll blog more about my dreams. It's more interesting than my daily life. Okay, I'm going out soon to shop for office wear with xw. So byeeeee and happy holiday!

What I did in my first 24 hours of freedom.


This is my second time typing this out because I don't know what's wrong with the alignment of my previous post and it ended up being weirdly arranged. Some of my pictures and words got messed up and after spending 2 hours choosing pic, arranging them, typed out, all my effort went down the drain!! ROAR!
 
Ah okay la, I'm still gonna blog. Finally had my last paper yesterday at Republic Poly and now I'm unofficially graduated. Yes, unofficially because I haven't get my results back and I'm not too sure if I'll manage to graduate or not. BUT hey hey, I'm so glad every thing's over now and I can have my life back. Not gonna say much, but here's pictures to show what I did in the past 24 hours after my last paper.
 
Xianwen made me this handmade graduation card by herself, really super super touched.

Cool or what?
After paper, had dinner with Xianwen at Pique-Nique, Jcube. It's my first time there, for more pics and infos, visit her blog here. The place is really nice and cozy so if you're looking for a place to chill and talk with friends or your another half, this is the perfect place! But I think the place can be quite crowded during weekends or PH. Since yesterday was just a normal weekday, we can sit comfortably and talked like we own the place. HAHAHA. The food is really nice and the price is within acceptable range consider its settings and the amount of money invested to create the romantic feel.
 
 

Dark chocolate milk shake.

xw's roasted chicken and mushroom mac and cheese.

My bacon carbonara.



Very home-y feel right?

After the super sinful dinner, we shared a strawberry cheese cake for dessert and we talked for a few hours before calling it a day. Really like talking to her, felt like she's my older sister instead of a friend. Because I sucks at making decision, she always tell me her point of view but instead of trying to persuade me not to do something she thinks I should not, she will remind me that in the end is my own life and I'll have to make the decision myself. She's someone I can really trust my inner secrets with and reveal my weaknesses to. We're so strangely different but oddly similar in certain ways.

Anyway, accompanied xianwen to her dental clinic (T32 in Camden medicial centre) today somewhere around Tanglin area. Woke up pretty early and my eyes felt so de-hydrated due to wearing contacts for too long the day before, so with no choice I had to wear my specs out.

Camwhored alone while waiting for xw.

Very classy interior of the dental clinic.

And so we camwhored.





 After that, we went Wisma's Koh grill and sushi bar to grab our lunch before accompany xianwen to a nail school for her consultation.



I'm never a big fan of Jap food but after staying in Singapore with my sis and xw (both Jap food fans), I've getting more and more into Jap food and I won't resist them anymore.

xw's, I don't know the name so I'll call this sushi.
 
Mine.
But I only eat the same thing over and over again, either this katsu chicken rice, chicken katsu toji or ramen.

Then we went Tanjong Pajar for her consultation and after that we took some pictures nearby. Had that urge to keep taking photo because I'm gonna say bye to my hair color soon. I'll miss you, my wig-looking-hair!


 
Last night before I reached home, I made up a list of stuff that I wanted to do after I regain my freedom such as watch drama, blog, read novel, jog, swim, shop or at least do a mask. There's so much things I wanna do. But when I reached home, I lost all interest in doing all that and the one thing that I really wish to do is to have a dreamless sleep. And guess what? I can't have my only wish come true! Sobs. Dreamt of being chased around by an uncle, I guess he's one of my dad's friend but I don't remember seeing him before. He chased both me and meichyi until our legs gave way and he laughed loudly at our weakness. What a crappy dream.

Okay, finally done blogging (TWICE )and I'm going to watch drama sleep now. Stay with me, I'll be back very very soon. Byeee.

Sexiest korean MV ever.

Well, everyone ..



2 PM is back with A.D.T.O.Y! *scream! Like finally!!

This MV really awes me because they didn't reveal their bodies but still managed to look hot. Well, in fact didn't get to see any abs at all, only WooYoung did show some skin. HAHAHA. But there's one thing I don't understand, how it is possible for a girl to attract 6 super hot guys at the same time? At first I thought all of them were with different girls but in the end is the SAME girl? So she cheats on all of them? WHOA! She must be insane or really greedy. Even though she's pretty but does that makes sense? Ahhh, she's lucky to have some skinship with them. I guess is their interaction with her that makes the whole MV smoking? with lust? LOL.

Anyway, this is not the only MV I find them hot, watch this.



I'm your man.

Okay, I gotta go now. Macro on Monday and I'm still confused about the steps when drawing IBC. *pulls hair. Byeeeee.

Try - Pink.



The most appropriate song for IM paper tomorrow. You gotta get up and try, and try and tryyy.

I felt like a soldier ..

returning from an intense battle. Using my pen as my sword, I attacked the paper, both papers to be exact, and caused the papers to bleed in my blue pen ink. I don't know if I've conquered the papers but I'll be able to know around mid August.

Never in my life I've taken 2 3-hours papers in a day. From 1000 to 1300 and 1430 to 1730. Super panicky before first paper because brain was filled with so much points and I'm really worried all the efforts I put in in memorizing will go down the drain. The first thing I did when I flipped open FI question booklet was to choose 4 and vomit all the points out from my body. Scribbled like mad using pencil till I'm satisfied and after 20 minutes, finally getting ready to start writing. In the end finished the paper within 2 hours 30 minutes but didn't leave the hall, just continued staring at my script. Don't know why I just can't produce a long essay, ended up only with 1 and a quarter page for each of the questions while carmel wrote 3 pages long. But I've tried my best, qualitative paper is just not my strength. After FI, I felt all the points relating to FI leave my brain and before I get to enjoy that moment of relief, I have to prepared for my second paper and to undergo pain (in my brain) for the second time.

MSM paper was really .. speechless. No joke. They claimed to have changed the format of the paper but still it's far away from what we've expected. It's kinda same, just that there's no need to choose questions from either section A or B. Now it's randomly choose 4 questions as you like. But why, WHY? Why must all the difficult questions came out this year?! The 3 chapters that we voted as the hardest and will not attempt it, appeared today. ALL 3 CHAPTERS IN 3 QUESTIONS. Out of 8 questions, 2 was qualitative, 6 quantitative and out of 6, 3 is the do=die questions. But in the end, left with no choice I still attempted that 2 questions. I did revised that just in case, and TA DA, suay suay, it appeared. You might think I'm lucky at least I've prepared for the worst no no, the questions was far beyond my imagination. Tried my best to write down something that made sense and hoped for the best. Where are all the easy questions? Today's paper is the hardest set of paper I've ever seen as compared to past year papers. Seriously I almost died when I saw the intimidating quesions. Left the hall around 1720 and met xianwen outside.

Felt so happy because dad fetched us back. I can not imagine taking train from Expo to Boon Lay, perhaps have to stand all the way. Can't take it any longer, I'm turning in soon. Next paper IM on Thursday afternoon. I need to rest my injured brain before the third battle.

Byeee.

PS: I lost 1kg today, from burning brain cells?or over-exercising of the brain? Nah, just lack of food.

Yessss, that's exactly my motto! I've worked hard, in fact the hardest in my 3 years of uni and now it's time for some fruitful results!

Bye readers!

I must be too stressed.

Lying on my bed flipping through my Maths notes anxiously, trying my best to memorize or at least familiarize myself with all the formulae so I can recall them during my Maths paper at 12pm later on. Halfway through memorizing, suddenly a loud "cuckoo!" made me jerked up looking at the cuckoo clock. Shocked, I hurriedly jumped off my bed and took all my notes, running here and there to grab stuff that are lying nearby and threw them into my bag. The clock continued to cuckoo for 11 times before stopping. "OMG! It's 11am and I'm still at home? I will need an hour or so to travel to school, how am I able to make it on time???", I thought to myself. With that thought, I dashed out of my house and the last minute memorized formulae left my brain together with the sound of cuckoo clock.

Okay, It's 12pm now and I'm in school. I made it! But here comes another problem, where's room C8.10? I'm lost in the middle of TARC and I don't know which direction to go. Looked at my right, a long corridor to don't know where, and my left, an old building I'm sure is the Pre-U block. I'm standing beside a tree and lots of people walked by me without looking at me. Behind me is a big field and there's the car park beside it. In front of me, I can't remember what was it or where it lead to. Using my brain I started to analysed the number of the room, c8.10 must be at some C building, 8th floor, the 10th room. But I just can't remember where's building C in TARC! Can't afford to waste anymore time, I took my phone out and called carmel, after few rings she picked up and I felt relieved for a moment that only last for 2 second (?), because when I told her I'm lost in TARC and before I ask her where's C8.10, she screamed : "TODAY'S PAPER IS AT SINGAPORE EXPO EH! Why are you at TARC?!" ........ Dumb founded, I replied her I'm be there soon! I can't possibly miss my finals right!! Ending the call, I thought to myself, how can I reached expo at the shortest time? And then! while walking towards the bus stop and passing by the car park, I saw 舅母 (jiu mu), my mum's eldest bro's wife, standing beside her car. Ran over to her and said : "jiu mu can fetch me to expo or not? I'm late for my paper already!!" While talking to her I already opened her car door and sat in it, urging her to faster drive me there. But she coolly replied : "I need to wait for hengheng (my cousin, her son) to finish school first wo." HUH!! Just then, hengheng appeared beside the car (must be telepathy) and I quickly said : "He's here, he's here! faster please!" I think she must have been shocked to see how desperate I am, so she kinda became anxious with me and speed all the way to expo.

By now, you should have realised this story is based on my dream right? If not, it must be because you've never heard of either Singapore Expo or TARC or both.

Anyway, by the time I reached expo, it's almost 1.30pm and when I jumped out from the car after saying thanks and receiving good luck from my jiu mu and hengheng, (seriously I think I'm lacking luck today) I ran towards the nearby white modern looking building trying to find C8.10. Where is it, WHERE IS IT? Running like a mad woman searching for directory, I stopped in mid track and took out my phone. I know nobody will be picking up this call but I still try my luck and dialed the number that I've already memorized by heart. When I heard like about few thousand rings, (I'm exaggerating, maybe only a few rings) Carmel picked up the call and I felt like I've hit the lottery! But that's not the main focus, I hurriedly asked her : "I'm at expo now so where's C8.10? Why you still can pick up phone one? I thought you're halfway through paper? You finished and left la? So easy meh?" She replied : "HUH? Paper starts at 1.30pm you faster come! Today is Maths paper only 2 hours mah. I'm going in soon!!" Whoa whoa whoa, so what is this now? So I'm still not late? At least not 1 and a half hour late. Reaching in time still not that bad, so after telling me how to go to c8.10, I ran out of the building, saw a muddy path on the right of the building, followed the path that took me to the back of the building, jumped over a longkang, ran down a hill slope and finally saw the 8 floors building in front of me. Managed to stand in front of the room at 1.40pm. Went in and sat beside Carmel and behind razif (my form 4 classmate), she looked at me and I gave her the you-don't-know-what-I've gone-through-just-now look. Waiting for paper to end and tell her the whole story. She mouthed : "jiayou" and I returned : "you too."

Flipped open the question paper after soothing down my almost-going-to-heart-attack heart, I realised all the questions seem easy so I started doing happily and before I finished it .....

I woke up! HAHAHAHA. What is this dream la??!! At some point of the dream, I really felt so helpless and hopeless till I almost experience mental breakdown. Very ridiculous dream but I always have this kind of doesn't-makes-any-sense dream. Some even weirder than this. Shall blog about it if I have time, I tend to remember details even after I woke up, I guess that's why every morning I felt like I didn't sleep well last night. How to sleep well when I'm running around trying to find my way. Normally I'll remember roughly what I see in my dream but in my memories the place doesn't seem to match with what I see in reality. For example, in this dream I don't see any traces of TARC but I know I'm in TARC. Expo don't look like expo too. And fyi, TARC is located in KL, Malaysia and Expo in Changi (?), Singapore. I don't know how my jiu mu can speed all the way from KL to SG in 1 and a half hour driving a (I don't remember) 7 seater car. And somehow hengheng who is at most only 15 y/o appearing in TARC doesn't seem logical and where the hell Razif came from? HAHAHAHA. Strangely I seem to recognize him just by looking at his back, I got the oh-I'm-sitting-behind-Razif feeling.

So ending this with the blog title, I MUST BE TOO STRESSED!
