slowly,gradually.

Has been leading everyday as if i am a spoilt girl not wanting to look for a job. ( BUT NOOOOOO!)

Job respondent i really need some good news from you soon!!!

my everyday:

Woke up, checked twitter, checked email, checked instagram, look out for any new jobs, send resume if there is, watch dramas, stuck at home.

slowly, gradually sick of this!

How i wish i could just pack my luggage and go as if its the 30th june alr!

on my birthday

so far so good! i’ve got 3 consecutive entries which totally explains how bored i really am. HEH!

I felt a little different this birthday. It was no longer that forward looking perhaps because age is catching up. How ironic is that because i used to yearn to grow up fast but looking backward i wish i am still the young and innocent me! 

Anyway, i still have many people to thank for remembering this special date. YJR, BBFL, childhood friends and even those who happened to see the “event” section on FB. Really thank you very much =) you guys really made my day!

Of cos not forgetting my very sweet boyfriend who planned an array of surprises for me! You are so so loved =D

with flour, sugar, vanilla extract and anything sweet

I actually took the entire morning today trying something different. Other than the usual cookies i always bake, or the recent oreo cheesecake that i learnt, i decided to be a’lil daring and tried baking some cupcakes.

I always have a thing for baking. Its a known secret only by myself. and i envy people who can bake delicious and yummy sweet treats such as macaroons, cookies and cakes. I was even jealous of people with big build in ovens because they can bake everything, anything under the sun infra-red.

But come to think of it,having a thing for baking and having the talent to bake are 2 different matters. It was never a success for me whenever i want to up my level:(( which means to say my mini experiment to bake a cupcake failed. ah well, the look is definitely there but the taste is flat and the frosting is not thick enough ( too little butter maybe?)

anyway, I am still wondering what went wrong. Probably because i replace powered sugar by icing sugar or because i didn’t add enough vanilla extract???? Maybe i should try again one more time but my mum would most probably kill me because she’s always the one clearing what i bake. HAHA! Or maybe i should let my boyfriend be my guinea pig??   

Graduate lohhh!

I am still in dismay!

Still couldn’t accept the fact that i am a graduate now!!! * blow whistle*. and i am officially calling myself a undergraduate no more!!!

4 years past really fast and i am glad to have met so many awesome people in my life. People whom made everyday of my life a bliss and people whom made my days crush like there’s no tomorrow because of their irresponsible behavior. Good or bad, they are the ones who made my days stronger, enriched and so fulfilling. As the saying goes, nothing’s gonna be smooth sailing forever but these are people who made my university days slightly more exciting. They really do. 

I wasn’t that participative in university. Call myself lazy or what. Seriously, now that i think of it, it could have been better. I should have gone on an exchange to experience life or even went on a 3 weeks summer exchange with kimyein the other time. Aye! i am feeling so regretful now!

Thankfully there was internship. At least for my days out of school, i really made full use of those days to learn how was it like to be working in the society. Pretty much different from the rest, my internship was held in a secondary school and boy i think i found my passion. It’s like a switch “ding” and everything came into light =)

ok enough said. and I gonna repeat! Wheeee!!!! i have graduated!!!!  

simple pleasures

Bonjour!

Life has been really good so far. Like many, i’ve just finished my exams a couple of weeks ago. So thus far, i have been consistently sending resumes, slacking, watching dramas, planning up my korea itinerary and enjoying my days like everyone else.

yupp so, i have decided to revisit this space after leaving it empty for awhile now basically because i have too much free time to spare. Was procrastinating whether or not to pick up part time job but i will be leaving for korea in just a month time and that explains.

And i’ve realized how friends around me have stopped blogging or rather they are turning their little space to something really private. so sometimes blogging can get a lil boring because no one else bothers reading. But like i said i am back here to kill time. so i don’t know how long i will last. We shall see eh?? hehehehe!

Monday was boyfriend’s birthday and he was given an off day from work. So yay! After hearing so much ravings about egg benedict, we decided to give wild honey a try. Maybe it’s just me, i can’t appreciate the layer of uncooked/ smoked ham that surrounds the poach egg. i think it kind of spoils the taste ( maybe i would appreciate better if its smoke salmon or normal ham?) but considering the fact that i love egg with runny yolk, at least that made up for my wrong choice of ordering =)

come to think of it, maybe jiaxin’s right. english breakfast ain’t our cup of tea.

and i think that practically sums up everything. HAHA! just a simple day out for us. Brunch followed by a movie date and then dinner at reuben’s since his sister bought him a cake. Such simple pleasures are loved=)

 

last of 2011

Just how time flies. In a blink of an eye, 2011 is coming to an end soon. And now, its the time for some wrapping up. The good and bad of the entire year. As much as i wish to say, i have tried many, experience many and grown ALOT!

There were many first time, such as my first school internship programme, where i got to experience how a teaching career was like. Even though i had to travel real far, i did so without grumbling a single bit. Well, i thought i would=x And then, there were this huge bunch of friends whom i get to know through internship. They were really a helpful bunch. You know when your assignments pile up like no body else’s business, they were the only one there to render whatever help they could.

I also had my first casino experience, not in Singapore but in Malaysia. 2 genting trips that marked the beginning and the end of the year. Now, i totally understand why my parents and relatives love visiting casinos. Putting winning or losing money aside, certain games are really quite exciting=x

Then, we celebrated our first year anniversary together which was a simple yet very memorable one. Despite the many quarrels we had, i have learnt to give and take. Solve them and not ignore them. It was really awesome with him around and i know i really have made the right decision=D

November was a season of love. Brother’s wedding was really the major event of the year. Despite the numerous disagreement my family had because of the preparations, i was glad my bro finally found his beau, his lifetime partner. It’s like gaining a sister all of a sudden for me. Well, there were still a lot of adjustment to do but so far everything is fine.

December was filled with festive mood. Feels good to have YJR over at my new place during christmas. We had sooooo much fun preparing and cooking. Although we flipped the recipe and cooked at the same time, our end product turned out really delicious. And now as i am typing, I am already looking forward to our annual reunion dinner this coming february with the gang.

now, towards the last of 2011, i am just hoping 2012 would be just as awesome as 2011. Reuben was telling me i should share my resolutions but really. rather than stating them down and not fulfilling it, why not summarize them towards the end of the year so you know how  much you have achieved because i believe deep down in everyone’s heart, there is always a goal.

ENJOY THE LAST OF 2011 EVERYONE! =D

Year End Trips

Finally found my way here and wordpress is snowing once again. This december has been great. Short 4 days 3 nights genting trip with the besties and 5 days 4 nights trip to Teochew with the family. Love mini trips like this because it marks the end of a great year. Good or bad, happy or sad, fun or mundane. Whatever they may be. Embrace them and life still goes on.

Genting 2011

Anyway, we never expect ourselves to have an overseas trip together after the last hokkaido trip some 3 to 4 years ago. Am already missing the late night talks with her=)

China Teochew 2011

Just amazed by how different this place was compared to 2 years ago. Definitely much cleaner and more hygienic. The place my grandparents used to lived and how well they kept things left behind even after their death though there were cobwebs all over.
