I am back!

Hi there, it has been a such a long time since i’ve been here!
So i’m actually supposed to be studying because i’ve papers to take in 2 weeks time.
But I drank coke awhile ago and now i’m feeling bloated and sick. So I assume its a valid enough reason to be sitting here typing away.

My thoughts are pretty scattered right now. So whatever i’m blogging today, did not happen in order!

So during the period that i was away, I transformed from a Polytechnic student to a University student. Say what?!
In fact, I’ve been for 3 months now. So I’ve officially graduated from TP! (I know this is kinda late but who cares?)

Nah, truth is i graduated from Hogwarts! ;)
I’m not going into details since it happened like ages ago.

But i really really really wanna blog about Bali! Such a lovely place, with such awesome people, there’s nothing more i can ask for!

Everything was so perfect and fun, even though we did not have any prior itinerary. The late night HTHTs & all the random shit that we do really makes everything so much more memorable. I guess it really doesn’t matter where you go as long as you’ve got the right company. You know what this means? I really need another getaway trip with the monkeys!

Before graduation i also went to Bangkok which i believe i mentioned in one of my previous post, i can’t remember.

On our favourite couch at the hotel lobby! We sit here everyday waiting for our tuktuk to fetch us to the main street or to ask the reception for directions. The trip was yet again one of the best trips i had. Probably because its one of the very few trips that i go with my friends, in fact this was the first. I’m the kind where i like going overseas with friends better than family. I feel that it’s a lot more enjoyable since our preference are pretty similar. I don’t know, am i the only one?

I’ve also gone on a trip to Taiwan with my family and relatives! Not going into details since i don’t have the pictures in my computer and i’m too lazy to go get them.

& something exciting!
After 3.6 years…..

I’m finally braces free! I didn’t even realize how long I’ve been having braces, until now. & man, that was a really really long time!

From…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the best picture i can find. (selfies weren’t exactly popular during that time) This was taken in 2008 btw. I chose this picture because it clearly shows my overbites. It isn’t very obvious from the front. But from the sides.. it was kind of obvious. & i believe braces has helped to reduce my face size. I don’t really know how to explain, but you’ll see.

 

I know it isn’t exactly a huuuuuge difference, but i feel that i look better now. Not meant to sound narcissistic or anything. But i felt that braces has helped to improve my looks. & well also because I’m all grown up now, so i’m more conscious about how i look.

Taking off my braces was one of the best gift my dentist could give me for my birthday! (I took it off 2 days before my birthday!)
Speaking of which, this year’s birthday wasn’t extravagant or anything. I just spent some time alone at home, sleeping and stuff. Plus dinner (on different days) with my family and some friends! It’s all i ask for anyway. No need for parties or anything.
But i did spend a little more money  than usual to pamper myself by buying things i’ve always wanted! I bought a pair of Superga and kindle that I’ve been eyeing since forever! (which caused me to be really broke for the weeks after)

So I’ve been working, studying and just meeting up with my beloved friends. & that is really all i ask for.
To play hard and work hard!

I might be going for illumi run this December! Whoop, hopefully there’ll still be slots! Its my first run, so i’m pretty darn excited! Speaking of which, I’ve many of my first times this year! I need to have them written down before the end of 2013! I want to be able to look back and see all the things I’ve done.

I’ll be back again, hopefully soon!

I hate..

1) I hate it when people compare me with others.

This one’s on the top of my hate list. Don’t ever compare me with others, I’d probably stop talking to you. It’s annoying how people expect you to behave, just because others do it, doesn’t mean I have to do it too. Everybody have different circumstances that restrict their capability to do what someone else can. People need to learn how to be more sensitive towards other people’s feelings. I don’t know if anyone else feels the same, or maybe because i’m a Leo and i have a personality that is a little harder to comprehend. But this is definitely a big no-no for me.

2) I hate how when a single female and male are friends, people automatically assume that they are fond of each other.

Seriously, just because someone’s single DOES NOT mean that they’re looking for someone. Leave us alone. By trying so hard to pair us up together, just makes things very awkward for both parties. And I don’t see how I should lose a friend because of someone’s matchmaking fetish. If we are fond of each other, WE WILL KNOW WHAT TO DO. I really wonder what’s going through the brains of these people. They must be like.. “Oh single and single, perfectoooo!” Whatever it is, just MYOB. Unless we seek your help, don’t even try.

3) I hate being replaced.

Need i say more? The feeling of being replace sucks. I know we all grow up, we go separate ways in life. I understand, i’m not that unreasonable. But I hate when they find someone better, they just forget that you exist. I don’t need my friends to talk to me 24/7, 365 days. What I’m asking is that we text each other at times to find out how the other party is doing, to show that  you are still keen in maintaining the friendship. It’s quite reasonable, isn’t it?

 

Just a disclaimer, the above does not refer to anyone or anything in particular. But of course, if the shoes fit, then go ahead and wear it. These are just some things that have been on my mind for a pretty long time now. I just need somewhere to let it out. Sometimes, i wonder why i have friends too. I honestly think i can be a difficult person to be with sometimes. My friends must really love me a lot. heh, thank you. ^^

 

Because i’m lazy, this is gonna be a picture post.

 

Awesome-est colleagues one will ever find!

Cycling and dinner with some of the lovely interns!

Met up with almost all the monkeys for Cass’ Birthday celebration! :D

This was like a month ago, but officially went to USS and tried almost all the rides!

My first ice skating experience! Yes, that is my “i’m damn scared i’ll fall face.”

Second ice skating experience, more confident, but still not able to skate! :(

Finally wore my vans after damn long, my ex loverrr! Also the day i went to watch The amazing spiderman with Qian Qi!

After which we had the mushroom pot for dinner!

Sticky sweets for june jubiliation, but i missed the teddy bear day. :( Lesigh.

That’s all for now guys!

If you noticed the pictures are all slightly overdue, but that’s some of the things i’ve been doing for the past month besides working and doing my reports of course. Many more to go, need to take more pictures for keepsake.

Bye  ♥!

Smile

Recently, many people have been asking me why i’m always smiling or why am i always happy.
Well, because i see no reason not to be happy? Think back on life, yes there are times that can be quite sickening.
Just vent it out by writing, or even watching shows. Don’t bring your unhappiness unto others. That’s not very nice.
I don’t know why people like showing others how unhappy they are by always sulking or giving others the black face. Honestly, you’re just dampening other people’s mood. If you’re so unhappy why not just stay at home, don’t step out of your house with that face. Just because you’re having a bad day doesn’t mean others are not. You just gone through shit, so what? others are going through the same thing. Okay i’m drifting a little there.

Anyway another reason why i’m always happy is because I forget things easily. I don’t remember things well,yes i have bad memory. But no, i don’t have STM. Not to that extent. So in a way, i think my bad memory has made me forget about all the unhappiness. Yes i’ll talk about it, but after a while i tend to forget what happened. I only remember good things. Like those embarrassing moments? … what embarrassing moments? I remember once a friend asked me to tell them my most embarrassing moment, everyone had something to share. but i don’t. Not because i don’t have one, but i tend to forget them. Like they’re just not worth remembering right? If i really have to name one, it’ll probably be that one time that i drooled when i was sleeping on the train. Yes at the moment it was indeed pretty embarrassing. But thinking back now, it really isn’t that bad..

So who said having a bad memory was a bad thing? I’m starting to embrace it now.

Skeptical

i realized my previous post was somewhat like someone’s. That’s bad.
Its okay, I’m not gonna do that anymore.

Anyway i’ve already been on internship for a week, but officially started work yesterday.
First day was OJT, just learning more about my duties and all. It’s pretty okay, colleagues are really nice.
Okay, not allowed to be blogging much bout it. so i shall not, which means i’m gonna be here less often.

Anyway my title has nothing to do with whatever i posted above.
I was just reflecting about myself, and realized i’m actually very skeptical about certain things.
yes, i can be quite gullible at times. But on certain areas, i’m not much of a believer.
Like i don’t believe that couples that has met for like less than 2 weeks are truly in love with one another.
I’ll think that”oh, they’re just together because they don’t want to be alone or cause everyone’s doing it.”
It is possible to be attracted but not together, i just don’t believe. Attracted is one thing, but you have to know the person well enough to know if you actually really like each other?

I don’t know why i’m even talking about that but well, personal opinions. I’m just really skeptical about such stuff.

I really have no idea what the point of this post is, but whatever i just need to voice out sometimes. *winks*
I’m gotta go off, need to wake up early for work tmr!
Gdbye~
