The weekends have been nothing short of amazing. Okay not just the weekends, but the period of rest I have managed to get after my double prelims have been supercalifragilisticexpialidociously good haha. 

Met Nav for an intensely great time of catch up and shopping, reminscising the days when we were table partners and she was my 'sister' hahaha. Love her so much; She's so genuine and filled with that wonderful goodness (: 

Oh and it was the only day of healthy eating with sushi for lunch, soup spoon for dinner and lots of walking!

We had this super awesome day planned out, fleas, kissjane, forever 21, mango and you know what guys??? We achieved it all!! :D Despite me grabbing like a million clothes in one shop. Hahaha.

Met Shernince, Yvonne, Ling Yu and Sakinah on Friday for breakfast. Headed to SMU soon after to, you know, visit the school I so desperately want to be in haha. Well sort of (: Headed to tamp one for some secret mission, which left me so certain and thankful and at the same time filled with lots of questions on how people would want to pay to get tortured. N.E.V.E.R. going back there ever. Had Jap with Vonnie and Shernice and some explosion in your mouth fruit tart! And a very intense conversation which brought me back to ground zero. Line of the day *Why give when you have to borrow to give*

Met Shernice on Saturday and we were supposed to catch the SMURFS (cuteblueminiaturethingsiwantaspets) or Johnny English after lunch but eventually we settled at a cafe just outside Pan Pacific Service Suites to talk. Sometimes I have no idea how we can spend so much time together and yet still have so much to talk about. I mean we see each other every week because of tuition and we whatsapp nearly everyday/excessively but maybe that's what a really great friendship is all about (: 

 Hand cut fries with choke loads of garlic, was quite put off by it haha. 

She was laughing so hard because I told her that soccer turns men into ravenous beast/animals (if you actually see a difference between these 2 in the first place) But we found out it was rugby soon after. Bimbo moment? Maybe not the television was too far away and I saw what was a ball, large patches of green and big men hahaha. 

Had hainanese chicken rice ball (Just for novelty sake it was really cool. The only time I had rice balls was when I was really young and in Aussie. Oh I had it earlier this year when I went to Malacca but it tasted pretty horrid so that isn't counted) and chendol. It was so sinful but oh so worth it.

 Look at all that goodness!!

We were trekking our way back to the station but I came up with this ingenious idea of walking to the next station to like make myself feel better for having fed my poor tummy with so much food haha when we came across candylicious. And hey! She was in a rush but who can blame us, the colours, amazing decor and sweets were pulling us into the shop and to my greatest pleasure,we succumbed hahaha. 

And low lili bought me this chocolate rose. Before we parted ways on the train, she reminded me to eat it cos it would melt. But it's still on my desk, unmelted hee (: (:

Met Lee See and Tan Bella after second service, and right from the onset I knew I was in for it. Was bullied the entire time but y'nno what it was still super amazing crazy fun times we had (: Just catching up and camping in tea valley reminded me of old times and if you could capture memories in a bottle, tea valley with cedar cell would have gone right into the bottle (with a really tight screwcork so none of the memories can float out)!

Lee See let me play with her iphone but I don't know how to use the mei tu xiu xiu (or something like that) haha. And I had a mini lesson on photography with lee see totally judging me when she went all ' You've a great camera but you have to learn to take proper pictures.' Oops.

3 of us!! Really wish that the Twit, the Phang sisters, Chloe, Kim and Alicia will be there next time. Miss the rest so much <3

Sunday dinner was with the bff (: (: (: Korean food. Like real authentic (pretty much so) korean food not those you get at koufu haha. But anyway point being that one on one time with the bff was as usual, really good (: It's like she creates this entirely new dimension for me and yet at the same time manages to get me grounded. Can't wait to be able to get into SMU and be in the same school as her, all over again (:

 Ginseng chicken in this super thick broth :D

Topokki in black bean sauce!

All I can say is that I have been greatly blessed to have had all these wonderful people in my life. I mean not everyone has friends who stick by them through thick and thin and I am really thankful for that. A few things clouding my mind right now and suddenly I feel mellow again, perhaps it is the impending A levels, slowly but surely looming over my head but I know I need and want to nail it this time, so very badly.

Books are beckoning ~

 Forever and ever <3

Met the friendlets at Timbre, got instantly reminded of the tenuous uphill climb that I had to endure during V-Day. Omg hahaha. But thank goodness I had a ride up this time (: Intended to only stay for half an hour because I had dinner plans elsewhere but the company was too good and I stayed for like an hour plus. 

Dearest Jojo I am so proud of you (: After you have graduated and started your own practice I will make sure to send my kid/children/friends' kids to you hahaha. Love you so much <3 And be safe (: Thank goodness for technology because keeping in touch will be so much easier! (:

Back to SEA History ~

Baked Vanilla cupcakes with Buttercream frosting (: At least this looks and tastes way better than that ugly Apple Cinammon muffin hahaha.

Math was pretty much of a catastrophe. The world's biggest calamity, shocking, horrifying and perfectly horrendous. Okay breathe van. But seriously, it is rather ironical especially since I got an A for my math. But I guess what I lost in math was made up for entirely in my international history paper. First time ever have I actually completed all the questions with conclusions written and a few minutes to spare. I swear my hand was going to drop off. It was cramped in this awkward pen holding position that when examinations were over I literally had to pry my fingers apart from the pen haha. I do not know how I am going to do for this history paper but one thing for certain is that I have really and truly done my best (at least for prelims), and I sincerely take heart in that because the next time after all these, what I see when I look back would be fruits of my labour (: 

Thurs: Women in Lit

Friday: Econs CSQ

Next Tuesday: SEA History and Grade Builder's GP Exams

Next Wednesday: 2 Econs Papers

GO ME (: 

And all the best to those having Prelims/Term Tests/Mid Terms in Uni and whatsoever <3

Watch this. Love love love Longchamp bags (:

And a shoutout to my Bestie Yvonne <3 Don't beat yourself up over your readings (: I am really sure you will be able to complete them when you have settled down. All the way <3 <3 <3 Meet up after prelims (:

FOOSIYUN [In that really fast way I say it] Hahaha. Thank you for that text. ILY <3 Hope you're having fun in uni (: (:

And Navreen Kaur! Thank you for helping me settle the clothes stuff :D :D :D I feel so much calmer having looked through all those clothes. I think I am a shopping addict haha but who cares hahaha. 

And a photo collage for the dear girl retaking A's with me. Thanks for being that pillar of emotional support (:

#1 Cedar Collage (: (: 

Y'nno what after posting these few pics, I realise that I miss my friends alot :( :( 

Shall do photo collages for other groups soon. Rested for quite some time today got to head back to the books hahaha. Loving my life (:

The stress has been mounting up gradually but ever so certainly. But somehow, (in this aspect I think I am a freak), I am relishing in this stressful environment. I feel as if I am making myself really useful, likening myself to a sponge (Spongebob!!) just taking in the beauty and knowledge this world has to offer me. Suddenly, studying in my crazy mind, has painted itself to be such a glorious picture. But that is the point isn't it, to appreciate the beauty of what you are studying. Maybe it is the whole getting a deeper analysis and understanding the pretext and meaning behind what the author does in the lit texts that has made me this way haha. I have never studied Literature harder than this, but am I glad I did. Richard is one amazing character. The continuation of prelims begins next week and through God's strength I am going to try my best to keep my cool and not let my nerves get the better of me. Still have lots of work/memorising to do but I know I will get through this the right way. 

Honestly, for a myriad of reasons, this is the happiest I have ever been ever since November last year (: (: 

And to little Miss Amanda Lee, stay strong because everything will work out in His perfect timing <3

And to Navreen Kaur, my y'nno what you've been awesome <3 Sleepover and baking at mine with Von, Lingyu, Shernice and the rest soon <3 Can't wait. 

OH AND I HAVE TO BREAK THIS MOMENTUM OF TRANQUILITY I CREATED WITH SOME HORRIFIC NEWS. Mummy and Daddy are going to Portugal and London :( :( :( WITHOUT ME. 

But then again I guess it is good for them to spend couple time together <3 

And some rather nice pics of myself! Please bear with me. Having to stay home and study everyday can be rather tormentous to the soul hahaha.

I want all these now! Ugh need the time to shop. After prelims van after prelims. Back to Economic History.
