catch up week

it isn't always monday blues after all :) after work , got home to get change to meet up with weiru daphne and sonia for lunch at kim's family restaurant. seriously when was the last time i saw daphne goh ?! it's always nice to meet up with your friends once in a while to be updated on what's going on in their life . i'm really glad that daphne's so sweet in love now. love this classic kiss shot of her and her boyfriend at the barrage. only the best deserves the best yes ? i can't wait for sonia to get hitched seriously.

21st august ; sokee turns 20 :):)

when i'm 20 going on 21 fml seriously.

check out the third polaroid.

nia looks so cute seriously.

nia's so like so much taller than me *squeals* why am i so short as compared to the friends and boyfriend :( it was a surprise for sokee and none of us messaged her to wish her happy birthday. i was wondering if she would suspect anything since none of us wished her. we wanted her to think that we forgot her birthday and surprise her at hall. it was quite epic because i couldn't breathe when they off the fans to light up the candles and i had to go to the window several times. didn't help that i was sick and feeble. i have been so busy and overworked these days. i can't wait for nov and december to arrive because there won't be tuitions and i have more time to meet my friends :) love you all.

15 August ; happy birthday darach !!

the day i let loose and lost my voice because no one was high . i felt a little sad that the birthday girl didnt sing a single song . point taken ,no more karaoke sessions with rachel tan . we should have hit the club instead. it was really tiring for me, as i tried to be the clown dancing around and tweaking the lyrics a lil to make the girls laugh. i guessed it was worthwhile as they burst out laughing a few times. the extent i would go to make my friends happy seriously * BIG PAT ON THE BACK *

& it's the release of the results today. i'm glad that most of us managed to clear all the subject and some of us did pretty well . i'm pretty satisfied with my results. i totally didn't expect certain grades but i guessed it's really god's grace and sheer hardwork towards the end of last year. i will do better next year and let's organise more study sessions. i will learn to juggle between work tuitions and academic so please pray for me all ! :)

happy national day !!!

i've thoroughly enjoyed myself today :) i have been so busy shuffling between tuitions and insing that i hardly have any time for myself. life is busy but somewhat fulfilling. i've managed to force myself up at 7plus in the morning for tuition at 8 and managed to wrap all the lessons by 1130 am . i always struggle to wake up in the morning but i know that i wouldn't regret it for the rest of the day can be put to better use. :)

4 months more before adult hood. lovin' all these shameless camwhore sessions with my favourite girl ! we had such a good time trying outfits, taking note of the deals for insing (would prefer without it though ) , contemplating if i should buy this piece with lyla analysing all the pros and cons before i come to a decision . i love doing all things girly. i hate the fact that i'm 20 turning 21 though , and lyla's like 19 going 20 how irritating.

cheers to another lyla item ! :)

you gotta love topshop sales.

perfect size at a fraction of the usual price.

this was the skirt that got me thinking .

& i was this close to getting it but decided to be wise and save money.

<3

P.S lyla send me the rest of the pics please.

you've got to try it to believe it

i've always been a fan of English Breakfast and wild honey serves one of the best of it in town :)

extravagant yet cozy setting & thumbs up to the impeccable service .

i totally wouldn't mind forsaking mac breakfast for this .

definitely gonna bring my boy and nia for brunch when they are available again .

the best of the best - English breakfast , imo :)

the hottest in the bold colours for the summer :)

love her svelte figure . the most perfect figure this summer!

dont you think i have the most adorable lyla in the world ?

totally in love with this shot of her <3

last 2 days of taipei

just received a call from my botak boy and i'm so glad that he's adapting (& surviving ) well in camp. i seriously can't wait to see him after eighteen days ( holy moly !! ) that would be on the 18th and we would spend a few days of quality time together before he's off to camp AGAIN. welcome to the army boy's girlfriend club. i finally understood what rach and vann's going through. weekends are so precious and strictly non working days because it's the only days they get to see their botak boys men .

it's a lil late but better late than never. spent four days at taipei :) four days of good food, sightseeing , quality time with yongkun and four NON TUITION DAYS. those times were so precious to me . when i came back from taipei, i lost all determination and diligence to head for tuitions but i'm glad that i'm back on track again. i want to see my kids do well and enrol into better schools :):) unfortunately , i have to drop some of them because i have been struggling my schedule so bad and this parent made things quite difficult for me hmmm.

third day of taipei - YEH LIU PARK

i love that place a lot . it would have been a lot better if it was so scorching hot. i thought singapore was hot but summer in taipei is a lot worse. my previous trips were mainly shopping trips so i really looked forward to sightseeing this time round. pretty surroundings, mesmerising scenery = massive camwhore time . kun's momma always bring her DSLR out so i decided to purchase my camera after the trip :)

i would have love the place a lot better if it wasn't for the weather. kun was perspiring so profusely that i have to wipe his forehead almost every other minute. i felt so sticky and uncomfortable and it didn't help that the place was far away from the hotel. after dinner, we settled for lunch at this nice seafood restaurant . the food's so awesome and that explains why i came back with a rounder face .

the juicy honey peaches which we brought back ! this is the first time ever that i actually brought fruits back ( under the encouragement of kun's momma ) i was rather reluctant to at first since it's quite bulky but it was too tasty and juicy to be missed. i wanted mom and bro to try them so i bought a carton of 5 back . the taxi driver actually stopped by the road to let us purchase the fruits. fyi, it is a makeshift stall right in the middle of nowhere . like a fruit stall just next to a long stretch of highway. i was appalled .

after which we went to jiufen ! it's not a place meant for apparel shopping but more of home grown food and snacks. there were so many stalls selling pineapple tarts , mochi and many other xiao chi . wo ai tai wan xiao chi ! :) competition is pretty intense over there. the peeps tending the store will persuade you to try their products and offer to throw your litter ( there are hardly any bins around and people have to carry their rubbish so this is like a personal service extended to you , hoping you would buy ) the people are really friendly though. like if you dont buy they wont curse and swear at you like in hongkong. they are ready to help you with directions and all. speaking of which, there were so many stalls and we tried sooo many pineapple tarts, mochi and etc till we were damn full.

after jiufen , we headed to this temple which is supposedly famous . i'm not too sure but i was just following the adults.

yong kun's dad with the super nice taxi driver with superb customer service. he brought us around at a minimal fee and politely declined to have a meal with us. he even loan us his spare phone so that we could contact him as and when we are done with that particular stop. got off the taxi to make sure that the fruit stall holders dont exploit us with the prices. when we got off the car, he will take the trouble to take the fruits from the boot to put them in the car to cool. when we come back to the vehicle, he would hurriedly take the cartons of fruits to the boot to make space for us. he did it 3-4 times and we were really touched by his service.

mangoes ! my favourite fruit amongst them all.

love the fruits over there. they are so fresh and juicy .

the dorky boyfriend carrying a yellow umbrella :p
