Distance.

Oblivious distance in years to come. 

Cling becomes looser. 

Words & explanations lesser. 

Shatters pierced & lubricant can no longer aid a smoother process. 

What have the us become? 

The sight of such people disgust & pollutes the vicinity. 

The thought of not being just the two in the faraway spoiled the bonding. 

They were much more important, years have passed, didn't you know it all along? 

They were always the reason of so many disputes, why didn't you wait till now to digest that they have always been over you? 

TGIF, you are such an unfamiliar thing to me. 

Friday always sucks big time. 

Ah Loy Thai.

Hello Guys!
I am back~ Will take awhile to update about my Taiwan Trip because there are far loads of pictures and experiences to share!

So for now, lets talk about other stuffs first.

Finally get to meet up my two gals after quite awhile since we last met.
Fifi will be back from Australia in August and we can all reunite as a clique again!

We eventually decided to meet up at Tampines.
Well, TM has revamped quite abit where its basement level have pretty much interesting foods now.
And one of my favourite was Suki-Ya! Having some craves for the cheezzzeeballs now! =D

Lu suggested to have some Thai-style food and so we popped by at 'Ah Loy Thai.'
I was the earliest to reach and so I proceeded to queue first.
Seats were rather limited as the space of the place itself was rather constraint.
Lu wanted mango sticky rice but it was sold out. :(
Je wanted 3 plates of chicken wings thinking its like some hawker-style and we were so glad we stopped her just in time! If not we will be stuffing the many wings till our stomach go bursting. =P Hehe.

Lu & I ordered Thai Milk Red Tea

Je's Thai Grass Jelly

Lemon Chicken & Mango

Delicious Calamari

Phad Thai

Tom Yam Soup!

Total bill for 3 pax amounted to be around SGD38.30 which was quite reasonable.

Happened to bum into Rach and she was in the queue while we were eating!
So she took a photo of us 3 :)

Je, Dee, Lu

And TA DA, my new vintage top from hers sincerely, Taiwan!
It was a great buy cus it only costs TWD200.00 which means about SGD8.00 bucks.
Cheap cheap!

My new beaded hair accessory from Taiwan too! It's freaking TWD30.00 which is like SGD1.30?!

And I have definitely got plenty of hot stuffs to share! 

But before that, some deals for you peeps too! :) 

2 More Days!

OH YES! It's 2 more days to Taiwan! 
Please pray hard that conditions in Taiwan are not as bad right now.
The news about thunderstorms, earthquakes and floods do scare me a little because it's an unfamiliar environment that we are gonna be in if everything is not going the correct way.

Not about superstitions or what so ever, but I do hope whatever it is, everyone is so gonna be safe.

Goodnight! Be right back soon! (:

Refreshed With Hair-Do!

Back with a new refreshed hair trim, newly dyed colour and well-treated hair! 

Mum bought a package from a salon where Evelyn was and so she recommended me to go over to do some hair treatment.
At the same time, I had my hair trimmed abit, and dyed my hair purplish-red.
Have always wanted to try red dye instead of the usual brown-based colours.
Evelyn suggested to mix some purplish into it to make it look more unique and I'm really satisfied with her service and after-effects! :) 

She was so patient right from dying my hair to washing off the dye, applying lotion for the 5-step Shiseido hair treament and finally the trim.
Sat myself at the salon from 6.30pm all the way to 10.15pm.

Though tired, I'm rather satisfied with the new look now.
I'm a lucky girl because I am born with natural straight hair and have never done rebonding in my entire life and will never do it.
Thats why I curled my hair previously cus I have some fetish over curls since my hair was boringly straight.
And now, after the trims of the dry ends, my natural straight hair is back again! 

Loving how the dye didnt smell that bad like any other dyes and now, my hair is super smooth and smells reek of the lotion which has a damn addictive and pleasant smell =D

Price was rather reasonable too after using mummy's VIP package.
Costs about $151 in total.

I'm a happy girl! Off to sleep now! :) 

Feels Loved.

Was first day of exam today and tomorrow will be the last!
Relatively manageable and I wrote freaking 8 pages for the entire exam.
Hopefully I can score well so that I will feel better.
It's not easy this time round because I was so busy and could only find time for revision 4days before exam compared to last time when I will at least study 1 week before even if I don't have the time.

Whats more, I am handling my work emails while studying as well.
It's tough but the tough will get going I suppose.

Diligently making notes 

Lined the boy when I reached school today and the thing about line is that it will reflect "Read" when the recipient has read your msg. The boy read the msg but didn't reply me so I thought I would just give him a call. To my wonder, his background was super noisy so I asked where he was and being a honest person, he told me he was making his way to Bishan to meet his army frenz and after which he will pop by my school to fetch me home after exam. So sweeeeeeett right? But I sort of spolit his surprise. Hehe.

So he came to my school and he bought me snacks enough to kill my time for mugging later on!
I am a simple gurl and I feel happy just through little simple things you do!
Thank you deardear, Love you! :)

The booster of the day! Thank you Love! 

Baby bear wants a share too =D

And this was another encouragement that came from Ting!
She is such a sweetie too cus she knows I'm in love with kitty and she asked me to be as nerdy as kitty, which I think I successfully succeeded for the past few days. Hee.

Thanks to all who made me spur on, knowing that I am super tired from the mugging especially when I have other commitments to handle too.
I've always feel loved because I know so many of you out there love me the way I love you all! 

Was joking to dear last night that I am not human because I am made of metal and he said I was superwoman. So I eventually came up with the term that I am made of metal and the brand of the metal was 'Super'. Life has always been tough for me juggling the so many tasks at one go. I swear it wasn't easy but I will keep fighting on till the day I collapse. 

Can't wait for exams to be over because I have so many things in line to do and next week is my Taiwan Trip! WOOHOO! 

See?! 

I told you I am supra busy and I have no time right? OOPS! 

In Heaven, I Found You.

"When The Unhappiness Brings You Down, Look Up Into The Sky And You Will Find The Happiness Watching Over You."

 Today I believe I am stronger than anyone else, like what others have always view me as. 

Today I believe I am the toughest to kill, the last to fall.  

And Today, it was the ones who left, who pulled me through. 

Because I believe that all of you never once left. 

Because I know you were all up there in heavens, watching over the best of me. 

Never once stopped thinking about you, grandpa. 

You were the reason why I've always loved dad & mum no matter what happened. 

I miss you every now and then. 

I miss you at my joyous occasions, wishing you were there to witness all celebrations. 

I miss you at my upmost saddest moments, wishing you were there for me to dote on me and remove my fears. 

I miss you so, even after so many years. 

I know you know that you are always important, I know you wished that I would have forgotten about you and so you didn't appear in my dreams anymore. 

Nevertheless, you will always be a part of me, who never leave.   

Mugging.

Back to mugging wholeheartedly cus it's gonna be exams tomorrow and the next day. 

After which, I can imagine how crazily immersed in work and planning I would be. 

AND.... 

It's a week more to TAIWAN! :))

The story of the recurring pain.

All you did was to give a few prickly verbal words and the pain reacted once more. 

Pondering over the matter, being not attentive to papers infront of me and later causing sleepless moments. 

You never failed to enchant me with your love, care and concern but it always turns out another way eventually. 

I was, never a grown-up in your eyes. 

Truth it, I was already one since I was so much younger. 

Where girls were dressing up their barbie dolls, and embracing the fun with the other kids from next door, I was sitting in a corner of my room, thinking of a major decision to make if the worst was to happen. 

At that age, you challenged me to be more matured than what I should be. 

I never lament, never once. 

While the next-door kids only concentrate on studying, I have had more than a commitment, to study and to work. Tedious may it seemed, tiring as it is, I never once lamented. 

Days passed, troubles came. 

All of you went unreasonable and things turned out to be at its ugliest side. 

It's been a year and nothing seemed to heal, no improvements were seen. 

All of you got it over, leaving awkwardness for me and I can no longer find back the right position to do a simple visit. 

But I never once lament, did I? 

Things that were kept in the dark because you never once learnt to understand our inner feelings, opinions, thoughts and views. Instead of searching for possible reasons, we got reprimanded for only disclosing after all the happenings of the events. 

If accidents were to happen, they will happen. 

If death was meant to round the corner, nothing can be done to be avoided. 

Don't you understand? 

Everything is predestined. 

You don't have to worry, you don't have to try and persuade to back-off, because what will happen, will definitely happen. 

Brings back to 'Sometimes I Wonder'. 

Don't blame me because you were the one who resulted in me. 

If the clock could turn back, I would rather you choose to abandon me. 

At least, I will definitely be much happier than who I am today. 

You wouldn't know how much it hurts inside. 

You wouldn't be able to see how much grief I have, building up.

Mid-Week.

It's gonna be mid-week tomorrow and I have no more oil to burn, no more strength to move and no more cells to think.

It's gonna be exams next week and I have yet to revise on anything except one chapter.

OH GOD! SOS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Been far too long since I cried. 

I wished I still remember how to, how to just let go and burst out the cries in me. 

Yet so suppressed within now, I can only bottle those feelings and pile them up like a mountain. 

I don't know when it will explode and cause a wreck that is difficult to cease. 

I don't know where I can find the extra strength to put myself into a piece again. 

I feel like everything's falling apart and I have no clue as to when the shelter's will be gone and I will be all drenched by the upcoming downpour. 

I feel tired, so tired physically and mentally. 

What have we all been fighting so hard for?

Hit The Gym!

Had brunch today and made our way to S.M's condo to hit the gym with the girls, Jerline & Rasa while the boy and S.M went for their swim.

It feels great to tire yourself out on a Saturday with some work-outs at the gym.
I'm forever anticipating for the arrival of weekends because that are the only time I can destress myself from the many efforts put into work & study.
Sometimes, it gets so tight up that I feel I am so unhealthy internally and the stress builds up to a level where I just don't feel like uttering a single word to anybody, which is also unhealthy to the body.
So gym or jogging used to be one of the way to relieve stress in my younger days when I was still in uniform.
After which, burden got heavier and I simply have no time and energy to really hit the gym or go for a simple jog.
Now that age is catching up, I feel that it is relevant to cultivate some healthy habits.

We could probably have the gym meet-up every Saturday! Anyway, they have plans for BBQ at SM's house next Sat! It's gonna be fun!

The gals and I were talking about problems that gals faced in terms of fat-ness. I'm sure you would agree that gals always find it tedious to lose tummy fats, thigh fats as well as arms fats. Actually if you google, you will find many methods which you can try to lose those fats. As a gal or woman, I'm sure we are all body-conscious and we want to be in good shape always so some of us even resort to slimming pills consumption, slimming tea drinking or even sign up for slimming sessions package at slimming centers. They might produce fruitful effects but I always feel that side effects are bound to occur and so the most fundamental method to keep yourself healthy and slim is by exercising and eating right.

Have been reading some healthy lifestyle articles and is super amazed by the wonders that my favourite green tea can do. Since i'm on the topic on getting a healthy lifestyle, might as well just do some sharing here.

I have always been a fan of green tea ever since polytechnic school days. I love Pokka Green tea the most and have always been drinking a cup of hot green tea after lunch everyday. Perhaps addiction may be one of the cause because like coffee, once you start you cannot stop. But I also feel that hot green tea makes you feel less bloated after a hearty meal as it washes the oil away.

This is my favourite brand of cold and hot green tea which are damn awesome! <3

Be True!

Photos may reveal the different angles of one, making one looking anonymous.
But it takes the real you to allow others to see the other sides of you. 

I love to be who I am, be true to all.
I am who I am, and I never once hid the truth self away.
Call it blunt, it's just me being straightforward.
Despise the starting distance, but it's just me keeping a safe distance from strangers.
Today they betrayed the trust,
And so when tomorrow comes, you see the other sides of me that you felt strange with.
Because, they only reveal when you have all become unfamiliar strangers.
