AND NO I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT STUDIES. Hahahahaha GUYS I AM SO HAPPY. MY MOLTEN LAVA CAKE IS A SUCCESS. FINALLY. Well but before I actually establish how it finally is a proper lava cake I need to make 2 side points. Firstly, this needs to be done again, and successfully (Of course) before I can start claiming that I am actually really proficient in making them. Secondly, it took me 4 batches to finally get it right!! I'm really super thankful for the friends that I have, encouraging me continuously while I lament never endingly about the perils of my failed lava cakes. Come to think of it, I think they just wanted me to get it right so they could have a taste of it haha. But whatever makes them happy ♥   Then again, I guess, as they always say, good things come to those who wait and (never give up- might I add) and I am glad I made so many batches (much to the dismay of my maid's and youngest brother's stomach) because the 4th batch is really quite pretty! ♥

This is my first batch! The mixture was the glossiest before I put it into the oven but they turned out to be too cakey, in a very dense way. Too unpleasant even for a mini chocolate cake :/

This! THIS IS MY WORK OF ART (:  After 3 failed attempts, I have managed to make such a beautiful comeback (: (: (: Look at this pretty thing <3 Don't you all think it is gorgeous. My maid was thoroughly amused with me because I was poking precariously at the cake and when I squealed in delight that it was jelly like and it wasn't collapsing she laughed at me and told me I was cute hahaha. Such an adorable helper <3 She's the best really. All the washing, all the cleaning, well most, I would help sometimes, was done by her (: (:

Look at all the chocolate goodness ♥

And Sak came over today <3 We talked for like 5 hours. It's been so long ♥

Me (Looking very washed out, I don't know why haha), Sak, and Little Ogre <3<3

♥ And to top the amazing Monday off, 2 MORE DAYS!!!!! ♥

Well, anyway since I seem to be on a blogging roll I shall declare some news I have been wanting to say since 2.5 weeks ago. FRIENDS I GOT INTO SMU Soc Sci, FASS and NTU's Wee Kim Wee ♥ Awesome or what. My God is so good and honestly I can feel God's grace and His blessings on my life. Especially with WKW's acceptance; technically speaking my grades kind of don't meet the cut. Actually come to think of it, to get an acceptance this early, with my not so spectacular grades, I must really thank God for putting my heart at ease  ♥

Ephesians 5:20 'Always give thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ'

Being able to pen down my thoughts, feelings and certain occasions which I perceive as achievements is to me, a privilege. It has been a considerable amount of time since I have managed to find the time (or perhaps it simply wasn't one of my priorities) to blog, and, it has been rather unsettling. Somehow, I believe blogging helps to chart down my progress in life. 

To be able to look back 2 years later and recognize the difference and maturity (I hope) in the perspectives that I have had initially gives me a certain sort of satisfaction. Above all else, but maybe not differing much in importance I think the ability to capture ones thoughts when a 'monumental' (dependent on age) event happens and being able to translate it into paragraphs, rolling off the pages no less, is something I really hope to achieve in time to come. For now, guess you guys will just have to make do with my sub par usage of the English Language and make sense of what I am saying.

Chanced upon this blog post and, I know not many people may agree but I think what she says makes alot of sense. Super cute analogy too ♡

This was my lunch yesterday! Butterhead lettuce, vanilla fruche, fresh strawberries, feta cheese and some bacon bits! Determined to eat healthily haha.

I'm now on new meds and they're killing me, could barely sleep last night. So crazy nauseous and I've been feeling it for the past 12 hours. Ugh. On to better news, Wicked with the Twit, Su Xin and mysterious friend tonight, can't wait <3

I believe that it is always about priority and sometimes I get disheartened by the manner in which you establish your priorities. Because you have always been someone I would make the time for, I always expected it to be mutual but more often than not it has not been the case for you when it comes to me. Sometimes it really is horrid because I always try reasoning things out in my head. I guess ultimately if it only happens once or twice I wouldn't be able to say anything much but if this happens consistently what exactly do I make out of this?

 I tell myself to stop bothering so much, but I become soft and the cycle repeats.

And to another you, 2 more weeks till you're home <3

Was supposed to meet Nikki and Sihui at Orchard Ion for brunch at Marmalade, but the 2 were obviously late again... Hahaha guess I am pretty much used to it now. But!! It gave me time to shop (:

Love love love clothes. Still need to lose 3 more kg and I will be satisified, more or less. Okay after I have lost 3 more kg I will think if I wanna lose another 2. And after that 2 I know I will stop. Promise you Navreen Kaur haha.

Anyway I troughed Top Shop, River Island, Mango, Guess (Saw this beautiful denim bustier, but I think my blog's a little too public for such a photo), Beksha, Pull and Bear, Steve Madden before the girls finally reached. I LOVE CLOTHES. I LOVE PRETTY CLOTHES. Have I failed to mention that?

Sigh, one thing I won't ever get sick of doing is shop. Especially during this spring/summer season, where the colours really suit me. Okay I should stop blabbering on and on about shopping because I think it really makes me sound like a shallow shopaholic, which I am not, really. Aah need to stop this monologue hahaha.

Sihui's Lemon Cupcake. It had some really fancy name but I can't exactly recall it now hahaha. Taste-wise it was pretty good. A little tart but not overbearing. The buttercream icing was really good, but   I think it was a tad bit sweet. 

And for what I was waiting for the entire night!! BEHOLD THE SMORES CUPCAKE. 

Okay, truth be told it was not all that great. The cupcake was quite dry. But I think the novelty of eating a SMORES cupcake made it very worth it. Priced at only 4.50 it was really not too bad. I mean there was A MARSHMALLOW. A SEMI GLAZED MARSHMALLOW. How can you not like it hahaha. That was the first thing I devoured. And this cupcake had a really cute light biscuit base. Such a shame it was rather dry. Otherwise, it would have been so perfect hahaha.

 Nikkita, Si Hui and I <3

Was waiting for Shernice Low the pig to wake up and meet me in Orchard so I headed to the pretty huge Forever 21 along Orchard Exchange and look at what I found!!

 White soldier top and a long dusty pink skirt. Made my legs look super long, LOOK being the operative word here hahaha.

 Tangerine Scalloped Dress!

 And I found this cute straw hat!!! Would have bought it, but noone would want to go out with me if I did :( 

Met Shernice and we had lunch at this Ginza place located in Ion's food hall! She had this Curry Karage don thing. And I had some char siew soba. The broth was pretty yummy but it was so so I guess. Nothing too spectacular. 

Headed to A and F, saw this really cute bustier dress (Look down)! If you look closely there are like white ribbons printed on it. Shernice insisted I tied the ribbon wrongly and had the A and F guy do it for me. Apparently he ties nicer ribbons, but whatever I still didn't really like it. Makes me look shorter than I already am!!

 And I love my heels <3<3<3

Okay I am so going shopping with mummy next week. I love my mummy so much! (not just because she buys me clothes) When I told her I needed to get new spring coloured clothes she answered me and said 'Yes I was just going to tell you that too.' I AM SO THANKFUL MY MOTHER APPRECIATES GOOD CLOTHES. 

Tomorrow's interview is with SMU Social Sciences and the parentals just grilled me for 2 hours haha. I love interviews. And I need to ace it tomorrow. GO ME. I want to walk out of the interview room feeling good about myself. I will feel that way tomorrow. I AM SO SO SO EXCITED. Can't wait <3<3<3

Night Lovers, till tomorrow (:

Try spotting the bubbles in the next 3 pictures (: (: (: 

Was going to blog a happy and lengthy post, but I am suddenly not up to it. It's been a long day, in the most ironical sense, considering how I only spent 3/4 plus hours out. But I guess in life, things can't always go my way and I need to learn that. The feeling sucks, really it does, but ultimately I guess it is something I have to learn to cope with in order to keep the people around me happy, my tear ducts dry and my heart sane. I know that definitely does not mean I care less, because if I were to do that no real lesson is being learnt. But I need to rationalise, I need to think with my head more than my heart. 

Anyway today was pretty interesting! (: Went to Botanic Gardens haha. Wished it wasn't raining before that though, I would have happily stomped on the grass haha. But we still managed to get many pretty shots. Need to come back here when it's sunnier <3 

Oh and I got called for SMU's social sciences interview today! 

SENSE MY RELIEF PLEASE.

Oh and on a completely different and random note, here's one of my favourite speeches of history.
It's by Ronald Reagan, titled 'Tear down this War.' I'm just going to insert one of my favourite parts here.

Perhaps this gets to the root of the matter, to the most fundamental distinction of all between East and West. The totalitarian world produces backwardness because it does such violence to the spirit, thwarting the human impulse to create, to enjoy, to worship. The totalitarian world finds even symbols of love and of worship an affront. Years ago, before the East Germans began rebuilding their churches, they erected a secular structure: the television tower at Alexander Platz. Virtually ever since, the authorities have been working to correct what they view as the tower's one major flaw, treating the glass sphere at the top with paints and chemicals of every kind. Yet even today when the sun strikes that sphere--that sphere that towers over all Berlin--the light makes the sign of the cross. There in Berlin, like the city itself, symbols of love, symbols of worship, cannot be suppressed.
