Leap Years!

It's 29 February which marks the Leap Year!

The last leap year seemed like it just passed not long ago and here comes a new leap year again.
4 years have passed so rapidly.

It was supposed to be Baby Mikaela's date of birth today but cousin and wife went for induction instead because it is quite saddening for the baby if her birthday were to be on 29 Feb isn't it?

Haven't had the chance to visit Baby Mikaela but I will definitely make it to her 1st month which will be one day after I return from Shanghai.

Say Hello to everybody Baby! 

Put your hands up yo! 

I'm very sleepy you know

Oh, I just came out from mummy's stomach, am i looking good?

Being wrapped to sleep.

Mummy kept saying that Mikaela is as fat as me when I was young. Helloooooo! The fact is she is 3.75kg but I was 3.3kg. (still fat , but not as fat okay? hehe) I was way too chubby for a baby's good. Everyone who saw me when I was a baby was like: "OMG! WHY SO FAT!" But I must say I was really adorable when I was younger. Hehe.

Walked to Mac with the lovely colleagues for lunch today because it was a special day. We mentioned that we wanted to snap a photo together on this special day but gosh, we forgot and left office without a shot!

Shall make an attempt to sleep early tonight because I didn't get to sleep well last night. I'm having the symptoms of not being able to turn in well at night and not being able to wake up on time the next morning. This is bad.

And oh, I'm really overjoyed over my results! So far out of the two semesters, I have attained 2 distinctions and 2 credits. Though having a Pass as the grades might be good enough but the fact that you are juggling over both work and school responsibilities will make you feel accomplished when you are able to attain unexpected and surprising results. I'm so glad I didn't fail that idiotic Industrial Relations, which means that I do not have to re-take that irritable module, which means...

SAYONARA IR, I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN! WOOOHOO~  

Estheva Spa.

Took a half-day leave off today to go back to school for the fingerprint registration.
I heard from my frenz that it's kinda stupid because the new implementation of fingerprint registration will mean the abolition of manual attendance-taking and the worst part is class will not end early anymore because the earliest you can tap out is 15mins before the actual ending time.
For instance, lesson from 7pm to 10pm, you are expected to stay till 9.45pm before you can tap out or it will be counted as absent.
Tell me how inflexible the school system is. PEK CHEK!

After the registration process, I left school and made my way to Ion Orchard for my virgin appointment at Estheva Spa for an aromatic head and shoulder massage. My shoulder is always the one giving way especially when work requires me to sit infront of my laptop for almost the whole day. It will always become so tight-up that it starts to ache every now and then.

I've been wanting to go for a proper relaxing massage all these while especially when the stress on the shoulder gets heavier and heavier. So i googled and found Estheva. Wanted somewhere convenient from school since I will be making my way down from there.

ESTHEVA SPA - ION ORCHARD

The room

The service was really good for my first time there. Upon reaching, they greeted me with a cup of tea and asked for my particulars and confirmed with me the strength of massage that I prefer and when the room was ready, they prepared the tube gown for me to change into. It was just 30mins massage but I felt real rejuvenated after that.

Initially it was kind of painful because my shoulders were really tight-up. But after awhile when it gets loosened, it felt real relaxing and I almost fell asleep. A pretty good experience and I will definitely go back there someday again.

Walked to Far East to get some drinks and bought Shilin Chicken Cutlet to snack on. Have been having the crave for the cheekan since long time ago. But eventually, I regretted buying it because I couldn't finish it.
Missed deardear because the two of us always shared the packet together and it tastes so much nicer with someone to share the food and you eat like its never enough. But the feeling was different today when I held the packet and ate it all by myself. :(

Headed home after that because I promised Mummy I would be home for dinner after being MIA from home-cooked dinner for the whole of last week.

Came home to receive a real saddening news. Couldn't control the tears within when I saw it. It was a shocking, dumbfounded and devastating kind of feeling in me.

Give me some time to accept, give me some time to adapt.

This is life.

The Many Things I Wanted to Do.

We always have the many things we wanna do, yet time forbids and restrains us from accomplishing every single tasks.

Time never fails to be merciless and say: "NO!"

Some things I wished I had more time for : 

1. I wished I had more time to accompany my family members. 
2. I wished I had more time to visit grandma. 
3. I wished I had more time to go visit ah gong monthly to ask if he is doing fine in another world and ask for his blessings for those who were left behind. 
4. I wished I had more time to spend with deardear, to go to the many places we haven't gone to, to let him know how much I really love him. 
5. I wished I could had more time so I could do some volunteer work at SPCA to give some love to the poor animals who were being abandoned by heartless and soul-less monsters. 
6. I wished I had more time so I could travel around the world and go to the many countries I aspired to go: Taiwan, Bangkok, Switzerland, Paris, France, Rome, Las Vegas, California, Bali etc. 
7. I wished I had more time to really think through my next phase of life, career and education. 
8. I wished I had more time to go to all the vintage places that I sincerely adored. 
9. I wished I had more time to meet up old friends for a catch up every now and then. 
10. And I wished I had more time so that I would slow down my pace for once and be myself...

The list may just go on and on and on without any halts or full-stops.
Good to show how nice it would be if a day consists of at least 72hours. 

Have never once stopped chasing or walking insanely big footsteps just to catch up with time.
But never once had time showed some sympathy, never once had it stop hastening, never once had it really bothered about the ones lagging behind it. 

So, face it and accept that this is reality. 

Went to work with a heavy mind, perhaps due to the accumulated intense tiredness that has yet to make itself scarce after the whole of the 6days workweek with the burning of brain cells even at the hour of 10pm. 

Still, even though I mentioned I slept most of my Sunday away, the best thing I did was to go Artbox to purchase those lovely letter pads to write for my three besties at work.

They were the people who give the strength to carry on, to do the possibles and the very much impossibles. They were the people who really understand the feelings within and they never fail to be so supportive. I really like every single one of them because they are really nice and they treat every single one with a sincere heart, contributing to the comfort of a workplace. 

"Thank You For Being An Awesome Part of My Life"

I ended the same for all three letters because they really meant someone awesome to me.

I'm sorry I don't sound right, I'm sorry I'm way too moody.
I wished I could be happier , I wished I could find more strength to pull myself through.
But it's getting abit too tiring, having to backpack such a heavy load and climb the full-high mountains.
If it snows, I'm afraid I might slip.
If it rains, I'm afraid I might get drenched and catch a cold.
And if natural disasters strike, I'm afraid I will face death in an unprepared manner. 

Promised to come back with a better endnote tomorrow.

对待人要用真实和诚恳的心，而不是用伪装或虚情假意来换别人的真心。 

Sunday-Feel.

Sunday is a day after Saturday where you had already blasted all your leisure time on.
Sunday is the reminder of a new day and;
Sunday is always a day you dread because the very next day will be Monday, which is a day you loathed.

Today marks a different feel for Sunday.
I used to visit grandma every Sunday last time but not now.
I used to be at dear's house for lunch & dinner every Sunday and be back home only when he got to book back to camp.
I used to accompany mummy who will be alone at home on a Sunday.
But today, I slept most of my Sunday away. 

Had my Pai Gu Noodles for lunch and went to tampines mall alone to collect my pinkie ring that I customized awhile back. Also, to trim my brows after so long. 

My Buy for Today <3! 

Hello Kitty Pouch

After which I got back home because mummy gotta head out to visit baby Mikaela and bro did not have the new house key as we just changed a new door gate. 

Chicken Congee

Carrot Cake & Spring Rolls

Zhu Chang Fen with prawns, Har Kau, Siew Mai,

Super sleepy today because of the accumulated drain-ness for the entire week. Stayed at office till 10pm at night everyday and even had to work on a Saturday. Dear had to leave for Thailand on Sat afternoon but I couldn't send him off. So we had an early breakfast at Yum Cha Chinatown because the boy was craving for dim sum. After which, he sent me to work. 

After work on Sat, the minority of us went to Kbox Cinneleisure for Kbuffet and singing session.
Sang all the way till 1am and reached home almost 2am to bathe and collapse for the day. 

It's 9.30pm and I have yet to eat my dinner.
Getting abit famished now, off to eat!

Drained.

Purely drained and tired.
Everything is giving way be it the mind, the soul or the body.
Need a good massage therapy after this week. The ache is tormenting me. 


Stay strong, very strong. 

Unspoken words.

有些时候有好多想说的， 但却说不出口。
偶尔有好多想说的，但却表达不出来。
俗语说的好， 有口难言。 


受过的委屈， 又有谁来为你心疼？
苦心干来的所为，又有谁能明白。 


看见简讯，听见铃声都像是恶梦走不出的影子。 


有好多好多的事没做， 有好多好多的话没说。 


我好累，好累。 
好怕自己撑不住了。 

The Commence of Horror.

Hola! It's the ever annoying Monday again.

Just another week from now will be the start of school, once again a new semester.

How I wished term break were longer but well, fat hopes indeed.

Living by everyday means a start of a new hope, a start of a new story, and the commencement of horror.

Time again and again I got to battle with the mind, the heart and the soul.

To stay as energetic as I can, to feel less lethargic as I could.

No one knows how long I can hang on, not even myself.

Saw my blog stats and it purged up by numerous figures this week. Thanks for all who take your precious time out to read about my little story.

Over the weekends, I got stuck onto the new game which I was indulged in!

TA DA! Sims 3~

The boy's bro and bro-in-law couldn't understand why I was playing such a game which to them was boring and purely idiotic. Well, it's just the same like how we girls cannot understand why guys like to watch the so many legs kick one ball as well as the fighting or shooting games they play isn't it? Hehe. It's just the way the different genders are born and we can't deny those differences. 

Just got home not long ago from dinner at Jumbo Seafood. Love the outdoor seating because it was so near the East Coast beach. 

I've always loved being near beach or going to the beach and just sit around even though I don't know how to swim at all. The feeling of being near water is scary indeed because one gulf of strong waves might just blend you in and you might just sway so faraway that no one else can ever find you again.

But since young, I have always walked the beach or go to the reservoir and sit on the rocks with my childhood friend, Cin. She would always accompany me there, hear my voices within, as I tell the faraway silently that I have something in me that I have swallowed for far too long and no one else could understand me. Till a year when the government decided to remove the big rocks near the waters of the reservoir, I stopped going there. It's peculiar how the waters can just take away your sorrows without asking you a single question or telling you any logics to move you back on path again. Somehow, after every trips to the quiet place, I always feel better.

And this is why I love it so much.
