Day 9: 2 things I wish I could do.

Okay, the official number 1 realistic thing that I wish to do is to provide my mum with an extremely good life, probably as soon as possible. To start off with, I really love my mom a lot and it is true that they say, ' Of a certain mature age, you would be willing to give everything you have, just for your mother to be with you forever.' It was never true before the age of 15 years old but now, when I realised how true it is going to be for the rest of my life, I regretted my first 15 years of life being disobedient, rebellious, rude, worrying and sometimes even hateful towards my mum. Have you really wondered how would life be without your mum and how scary and painful it is to lose her? If the answer is, ' I can't even bear to think about it.', you are almost of the mature age of cherishing you mother in a better way. I dare not even think about a day, without my mum here with me. Outsiders have no idea how much hardships she had gone through and truly, I will never understand her struggles and pain during then, even though I had heard of those heart breaking moments for more than 5 times. My heart always sank whenever she tried to relate but the kind of heartache is nothing compared to hers. Most noble of all is, at the midst of trying to be strong again, she still carries out her mother's duties beautifully. I can never be as strong/noble/capable as my mother and it is not because I am weak, it's just that she is almost incredible. My love for my mother is still considered selfish love and I believe she knows that too. Which is then why I am amazed by the selfless love she is constantly giving, without hoping anything in return. I am shameful for my own selfish love. I can never measure how much she has been doing for the entire family and I can never return what she has given. Hence the only way to repay is to, hopefully being able to provide her with a good life.  Edric always tells me, 'It's not giving her the best thing in the world, it is giving her the best you can.' and I want my best to be somewhat the best in the world, at least for my mother. I love her a lot and it is very illogical but true to say that, I can never love her as much as how she has loved me.

Second on the list would be, rescuing the dogs. I really have a thing for dogs and puppies and as I am typing this away, I am questioning myself, 'why not cats? humans? babies? orphan?'. I have no answer and please don't say I have lost my mind, like how the hell can dogs be of more importance than human lives...To put it simply and shortly, we cause harm and dangers to the animals so it is only right that we  save them too right?

Day 8: 3 Words I can't go a day without using.

They are common words for me and you.
Hello.
Think.
Okay.

More about food.

 1. Menu. 2. The Handburger Original with added sunny side up.
 3. The works. 4.Nutella with Marshmallow.
 This place isn't to my liking actually because strangely, I never like burgers. Okay, maybe Ramily LOL LOL. I have always passed by The Handburger @ Somerset 313, but never once have I settled my meal there, only till yesterday (I ate at Raffles City Shopping Centre.) The burgers, to me, were so-so but the milkshake was too good for someone like me, who doesn't like milk/creamy stuff. I would say, it is one of the nicest I have ever drank. Edric, on the other hand, thinks the place was of good quality. He said their beef, soup and drinks were all good and the place gives generous servings. I couldn't finished the given portion.  I would probably not go back anymore unless someone close to me really wants to go there and if so, I would probably just order those miniature burger, soup and the drink.

1. Menu. 2. Pan seared Alaskan Salmon. 3. Me.

4. Him. 5. Steamed Lobster. Oreo Cheesecake.

This place is actually good for a decent date if you are lucky enough to avoid those peak hours at night. It can be quite noisy because of it's good business and hence,  This place is highly recommended for fish lovers. They are special in a way that, they bring in many kinds of fishes, flown in from all over the world, so that you can be spoilt for choices while selecting 'your choice' and then you can choose how you would like 'your choice' to be done. Example, fry, pan seared, grilled, bake &etc.  Apart from the fresh fishes, I personally think that they have the best mushroom soup in Singapore. It is a must-have whenever I'm there.

1. Tropical Tea Latte & Iced Caramel. 2. Scramble eggs with smoked salmon & pancakes. 3. Chocolate cake.

Alright, gonna sleep pretty soon because I had bloody insomnia last night. Boo to school tomorrow and the 3 hours break in between. 4 more days to weekend, let's go!

A little of everything

1. Grilled Atlantic Cod. 2.Chocolate Moelleux.
You should totally try their White Chocolate Souffle. It is so fluffy, you will dieeee. I love dining at this place, not really for the food, but for the ambience. The food is not kind of fantastic but their standard is slightly higher than average. Not only is the ambience good, just their dessert alone is worth a trip down to their restaurant.

2. The dining place area.
4. I have forgotten the name for this but it was some tuna.
5. Beef and bacon linguine with tobiko, this is our utmost favourite dish from the restaurant.
6. Braised beef cheek, mash of yam.
7. Soup of the day, which I forgot it's name again.
8. Decorative chilli statue that cost $88,000 (for the shorter one).
9. The entrance.
This restaurant, we assume, has really nice pasta. The beef and bacon linguine was something that we have never tasted before so we thought it was quite special and for the braised beef cheek, I highly recommend it to be a sharing dish because after awhile, it can be quite sick. The beef tasted good but not the sauce and those little balls. We ordered ravioli of prawn in lobster cream too but I forgot to take pictures of it. This restaurant has rather small servings of food and it is quite pricey.

2. Fish eye effect.
3. USS (Transformer ride was so fun!)
4. Outfit of the day, to Kiseki
5. Michael's birthday celebration.
6. Declan and I before heading out to USS.
7. Kobe deep asleep in between the pillows.
8. Self shot.
9. Chika, baby poodle. We actually wanted to name her Aiko but my dad then decided to call her Chika.
Rare chance for her to be staying over at my place because Kobe dislikes her. So she will mostly be at my dad's place. She is so small, like 1/2 of Kobe's size, and she probably weighs slightly less than a kilogram. Dont be deceived by her depressed look on the picture, she is super cheeky and active.

Anyway, school has started and so far, it is boring. I feel so suffocated and stressed after looking at the overview of deadlines which are being lined back to back.  Anyway, I will be attached to The Little Skoolhouse @Khoo Teck Puat hospital so I think this sem's goal is to work well with the children's parents who are the doctors there.

Till the next! Bye!

Day 7: 4 Memories that I won't forget.

1. Being accused and humiliated in my primary school days. Not to name the teacher, but she was extremely bias. Back then, I was rather close friend with this girl, A, whom was quite well known to be unreasonably hot tempered and beacuase of that, she was not well like by peers in school? Anyway, she had this little diary which she always put it in her bag. The diary she had, comes with a lock and a pair of keys. She handed one of her keys to me to safe-guard it, just in case if she were to lose hers. So i had the key kept in one of the comparts of my school bag. Some of those people who dislike her were my basketball mates and so we hang out quite frequently. During the days, A would stay back with me and while I played basketball, she would be doing her reading. I honestly don't know how it happened that one of the basketballers managed to get her diary, and the key in my bag. They unlocked the diary and began to read out loud to A. Of course, A got very upset and assumed that I was the one who gave them the key. She went to report to her teacher, who was my P.E teacher. So the very next P.E lesson was horrible. She made quite a few nasty remarks and the one line that I couldn't forget would be, ' I really hate some betrayer (staring at me), I hope she is not in my class (and everyone turned to look at me).'
I would say, I was bloody humiliated and embarrased.

2. The last day of 2009. I don't want to mention this but this is something that I am sure that I will not forget the entire life. I spent the new year countdown with Edric and the day ended so happily. At then, he already has a car so the time we had strolling together lessened. So that day we went for a really long walk, it was nice. I reached my doorstep with an extremely happy mood until I realised I have no keys and the only one in the house was sleeping like a log. Checked my phone, it said almost no battery. So I immediately called Edric, hoping he would U-turn and come back for me.  Sadly, he didn't. I was extremely pissed and sad, thinking, why would any boyf leave the gf outside at fucking 2-3a.m? I quickly dropped Liran a text and my phone died. That night I constantly questioned myself, why did I made that hopeful las phone call to him. Shall not elaborate what happened after next.... I look back and wonder why didn't I break up with him at that point of time. Hahhaa. For now, I believe he will never ever leave in the lurch anymore.

3. The day I got Kobe. He was the perfect gift for Chrismas. There he was, the 2.5 months old baby with messy hair and weird smell, biting a milk stick and was being carried into my house. The moment we had him on the floor, he began to sniff everywhere and headed beside my mum. At least, I was excited. I went down to buy some milk and bread for him just in case he was hungry. I remember how my mum was telling him how smelly was he and he jumped up and barked at my mom. He was just like a baby at night, sleeping so sweetly. During the middle of the night, he started whining, which was believed to be looking for his mum.............. He was like this on his first day.

4. The good old days when I was young, sharing the showering cubicle with my cousins who were staying together with me. I hope this doesn't sound gross or pervertic hahahaha. We would always make bubbles out of soap and dance around liek some idiots and the famous song was always, ' JEE JEE PONG PONG, NI DONG BU DONG....' Those days were carefreeeee.

Complain Queen

Hello folks. Here I am sitting next to the mj table, writing this post via my phone. It's 2o'clock right now and I can't help but to countdown, sadly, to school reopening. In exactly 31 hours time, the school is gonna effing reopens. LESIGH!!! I can totally see myself in a foul mood on the first day of school. Not only will I have insufficient sleep, I will also be stuck in those peak hours jam.  In the firat place, i dont even know if i will be awake for school. Right now, i wake up at at least 2p.m and this timing is nearly school dismissal time. Argh I hate how ngee Ann is that far away from my place..  Most hated thing on the list would be, wakin up at those ungodly A.M. Ugh. Starting to see the stress coming from attachment. Aiya I want it to pass absolutely quickly but at the same time, I want to enjoy every minute as a student. Totally have no idea of what I am going to do after the poly years. Tell me!! FYI, the chances of me staying in the early childhood industry is close to impossible. Don't ask me why! I am just so not cut out for the children.. Kay, bye!

Overdue: Sentosa trip.

I know it is pretty much overdue but just let me blog about it okay. No matter what, it was still our first time visiting Sentosa together (despite being together for 3 years). You wouldn't have guessed that it was his idea to go there. He is just someone whom doesn't like to be under the sun but for some reasons, he suddenly suggested to go there because he wanna get tanned. Hmm I see that NS life has slightly altered him. Okay, here are the pictures! Sadly, we didn't take any pictures when we were on the luge. Promise to be there for that again. It's so fun, maybe because it was my first time riding it.

 

 

 

I was under the shelter like 3/4 of the time when we were tanning and sadly, I think I got more tanned than my boyf! Ugh. It's time to get prepared and wait for the army boy to book out! Gonna have crab for dinner at Cajun King's.. GO GO TRY THEM!!

Day 6: 5 Things that I can't live without

Hi all, I'm back to do the challenge so let's get started with the 5 things that I can't live without. Not those 'duh~' stuff like water, certain people, oxygen & etc. Here I am going to talk about those material what not.

1) Hair clips. It has been awhile since I let loose my hair and let them fall just naturally on my shoulders. I have been going out with centre parted hair, bunned up hair or a pony tail and if you have noticed, I almost never let my fringe down anymore. Reason being, they never fall perfectly. Even if they do, they normally wouldn't stay long. So I always have those bobby pins with me, just in case I need them in any hairstyle. (ps: centre parted hair is the easiest!)

2) Hada Labo. Ever since I have started using, I cannot survive without it for even a day. My skin and complexion are naturally dry and with age catching up, I really see the need in applying those moisturizers. I always hear people saying things like, it is better to start taking care of your complexion now because it would be of no use if you were to start later. True? Don't always say I'm still too young to be worrying about such. I am feeling the skin wrinking and it is horribleeeee.

3) Music. Because I listen to them everyday hence, they naturally become the things I can't live without. Make sense?

4) Internet. This is where I get my dramas and social life (mainly gossips and shopping) Hhaha sorry, I'm misusing it.

5) Chilli padi. I love chilli padi that much. On an average, I eat about 4 chilli padi a week. They have even become cravings for me recently.

Next up would be my sentosa trip with le boyf!! 

with ferry much love,

Day 5: 6 songs that I'm addicted to.

This is hard because if a song is nice, I listen to it almost everytime and subsequently it just turns.....not as nice anymore and the addiction dies. Anyway, these are the current 6 songs that I was addicted to and I am still listening to them (not as frequently) now.

1) Breathe by Michelle Branch- I just find it catchy.

2) Won't Go Home Without You by Maroon 5- It's like a fantasy to me, idw.

3) 掉了 by A-Mei- Meaningful & catchy.

4) Best Thing I Never Had by Beyonce- I wasn't so addicted to it until I heard hyorin's version and realised how nice the song is so I went back to check Beyonce's out.

5) 依然爱你 by 王力宏- It is another fantasy. Too romantic for me.

6) Tell Me Where It Hurts by MYMP- No reason. I just think it's good.

Alright, so these are the 6 songs. Go listen to them kay! Gonna have dinner @ White Rabbit later. That place is so gooood. Take picture on Instagram let you see kay. Follow me @adrenalinek.

p/s I want to blog about my sentosa trip but I am so lazy to transfer the pictures. GDI!

with ferry much love,

Day 4: 7 fears/phobias.

1) Height. Many don't know this but yeap, I am afraid of height. Despite being so, I love the thrills gotten from those coasters and rides. I get the sense of satisfaction after completing each, as though I have conquered the world. HAHAHA actually being on those dangerous rides isn't the most scary. The most scary would be standing on a high level, doing nothing and looking downwards.

2) Alone in darkness. Is just a thing since young like, I must sleep with the lights on whenever I'm sleeping alone and my mom can only turn them off when I am asleep. Probably due to those paranormal images that would formed up in my minds when I am alone in the dark.

3) Birds. I really hate and am afraid of them. This happens since their droppings landed on my hand one day when I was walking to Chong Pang Market for dinner. I was about 7 or 8 then. I wasn't so afraid of them until another 2 incidents. One, during the bird flu period, a bird flew into my class and got hit by the ceiling fan and landed just behind my seats. Second, a bird tried to fly into my class but failed. Apparently, I was sitting right next to the window and it tried to fly in but failed but the flapping of the wings against the window flaps was just too disturbing. So ever since, I try to avoid all kinds of birds and eventually going upclose to birds becoming a fear in me.

4) Insects/ spiders/lizards. They are just gross, dirty, disturbing and anything but cute. Nothing nice about them at all.

5) Public speaking? I am not sure of this because sometimes I find myself enjoying it but sometimes I am hell bloody nervous to the extent that I get serious headache. Probably not public speaking but audience/s' reactions.

6) Nose bleeding. I get them too frequently that's why I'm scared. I get nose bleeding on an average of once or twice a month now. It used to be 4/5 time in a week when I was in primary school but it got better after I took some antibiotic from the doctor. It stopped for a few years until recently. I am starting to feel scared because the nose bleeding now is harder to stop compared to those I had in my primary school days and on top of that, I sometimes feel the pain in my nose and always feel slightly giddy after the bleed. Think I need a doctor again..........

7) Losing my loved ones. I don't want to imagine hahaha.

On the first of October, my Kobe turns 2 years old(: Surprisingly, he never fails to let me think that he is superrrr cuteeeeey.
