Hey y'all! How are you holding up?

Me?

I'm okay. Busy. (it's becoming an excuse I use so often. but seriously, I am.) Well, sometimes we just gotta make time for the more important things in life given that education is so heavily emphasized upon here. 

I took some pictures during the time I was away. Been to the usual places like every weekend but not complaining, at least I GET to go out. Positive thinking people!

On Sunday, I gave Art Friend some love to get my scale ruler. By the way, I'll be selling my scale ruler away if I don't need it after my 15 weeks. So anyone who is interested, drop me an email! Okay so I was walking down the notebook aisle and chanced upon this exquisite leather-ish cover notebook. It was the prettiest and most classiest notebook I have ever seen. (so is the pricing mind you) I didn't get it anyway but it was pretty #justsaying (:

You might not know this about me but when I visit bookshops I'll somehow end up at the pen/marker section. It's funny how I go there and try out the pen for fun but I don't buy it. It's just satisfying to the soul. (ok not much but just a teeny bit, hehe) Anyway, this color 'Blue Violet' is exactly the one I would dye on my hair if I were to do it. It's like this dark purplish color but can easily pass off as black if under certain lighting! So so pwiddy...

If you followed my Instagram/ Twitter, you would've known that I went on a field trip around Sunny Singapore for the #dtaartstrail where we visited different sites that are a part of Singapore's arts and culture.

P.S. The following pictures are a series of selfies. Don't scroll down if you don't wanna see them. :P

Dinner yesterday @ Cway Point for my brother's birthday! Fulfilled my sushi craving mmmm yummy

I went full blonde guys! HAHA

(no. I wouldn't dare do it! btw, I look so weird with blonde hair)

There were so many nice photographs on Instagram featuring the beautiful sunset so I had to join the bandwagon! However, pictures don't do it justice.

Oh, I just wanna thank Nuffnang for selecting me as one of the 20 bloggers to win the Iron Man 3 set! (which I tweeted a while back) However, it's a bummer I don't think I have time to collect them but it was such a pleasant surprise. (actually, I felt like I just won 4D and I literally jumped around the house. Sorry neighbours if you felt like there was construction work going on upstairs!)

Question of the Day/Night : How do you guys express your happiness?

Thanks for reading, x! :)

You must be thinking "what has the photo above gotta do with the text?!" My answer, none. I just thought that it would look nice with the 'theme' for today's post. Anyway, thanks to Kerencia for this shot :)

So, blogging twice in a week is a treat because I finally have a bit of time to edit the photos that I have stored with digital dust laying on them in my phone and my camera. Reckon, I better get started.

I got to attend SRT's rendition of Othello @ Fort Canning Park. It started out pretty warm because everyone had yet to relax but as time went on, it was pretty chill with the occasional cool breeze that even the guy in front of me fell asleep. I thought that this idea of a theatre performance in a park where you can eat and chill is really cool so definitely a great place for a date ;)

For me, it was more a date with some great Poly mates I have. We talked, we laughed and we whined together HAHA

If you followed my Instagram, you would've known that I had a One-Pan meal Sunday and when my mom told me that she was making it again I was excited. I love these kind of meals rather than the standard food in the bowl (of course that would seem more civilised). This is really comfort food for the soul <3

One Pan Meal Sunday : 

Carrot + Chinese Sausage + Egg | Tuna + Mayonnaise + Onion Powder | Sardine | Plain Porridge + Sweet Potato

For dinner, I had BBQ Pork Ribs with Aglio Olio. Personally, I felt that the rib portion was huge and me being the slow eater that I am, of course it took me a while to finish it. Overall, it was a great Sunday for me because I get to spend time with my family and that to me is enough.

Sunset's  are a beautiful creation. The magical descend of our natural light source and to be able to have the time to marvel at it is a privilege. We pushed through and we lasted through the day. 

"I made it" is what I thought.

Surprised my mum two mini cakes.

Left | Eggless Tiramisu

Right | Eggless Durian Cake topped with White Chocolate flakes.

I have to commend that both cakes tasted good, given that it was my first time trying eggless cakes!

8am classes are always dreaded in the morning but once class starts, the groove kicks in. The lesson that day was easy, peasy and breezy. 

We started with a game to get our energy up and indeed it did. I even got to the final round once and I was pretty happy about it given that I'm quite competitive ;)

I ended my day with a happy bowl of Curry Katsudon which had two portions of meat plus a good curry that complimented both the rice and the meat! If you should know, I love Japanese Food a lot :)

Recently watched a friend's performance in school and honestly, I think it was my first time going for a friend's concert. So, I was really excited when she came on stage plus the audience made the atmosphere high. I felt that it was pretty short but overall I enjoyed myself.

Dinner | Chicken Meatballs + Cheese Sausage wrapped in Bacon + Fish

 (I know I look weird in the second photo HAHA)

Hurrah for bathroom selfies!

#OOTD for that day. Taken by Kerencia. It was a fun time to end the day with a 'photoshoot' in a secluded place at the TRCC with only the security camera staring at us lol

Top | New Look

Bottom | New Look

Watch | Michael Kors

Shoes | New Balance

I love Fridays currently because classes start at 1230pm so I get to wake up a lil' later, take my time to get ready and have my breakfast. Adding on to the heart scale, it was bright and sunny with an occasional breeze blowing in yesterday.

 <notice my SB fetish yet?>

Bought a snack for my bro and I which helped keep my stomach happy till my mum came back with Bibambap for dinner. Ahhh, so delish because I get to live like a Korean for a moment like how they do in variety shows ;)

Moments like these help me to push on with the challenges in life. These are my Euphoric Moments.

So, what are your Euphoric Moments? :)

Thanks for reading, x.

#5 - The Big Big Bang

It's been a week since my previous post and I hope everything is going well to whoever is reading! The following graphics are the 'bigger' (and more 'exciting') stuff that has happened this week.

(credits to @elithiakoh)

I went back to school on Monday to help move equipment back to the TRCC. I was there an hour early so Alethea and I waited for a while before the Jammerz and Replug crew came in. Apparently, there were more people helping to carry the stuff than more stuff to carry (you get me?) 

Happy Pizza faces cos we get to eat pizza for free without doing anything say WHAT??!!

*whispers* WE TRIED TO HELP!!! *sinks back into the shadows*

First day of school happened (and it was at 8AM *.* < not enough sleep face) and I was glad that I knew some people if not I'll be that loner girl. Anyway, class was dismissed at 12-ish and a few of us went for lunch together at Pepper Lunch while waiting for the time to past before going for a course talk with a few facilitators. 

(all photos taken with an iPhone)

That pretty much sums up my week so far even though I have 1 more day. I still need some getting use to to school with all the classes, people and homework/assignments etc (I NEED MY GAME BACK) 

I know this year is going to be a tough year but one thing I know for sure is that my God is way ahead of me and he has already planned my success. So, this year ain't gonna be tough for me because my daddy God is doing the work :)

To whoever is reading : Get your game back on baby! We can do this! *fist bump*

Thanks for reading, x.
