A series of weird dreams

A series of weird dreams just now when I was sleeping and waking continuously for an hour.

D told me not to give up and forget about it.

My C group of friends agreed to go California for our group trip. Haha

Somebody got pregnant and somebody thought I was the one who made her pregnant but it was the ex boyfriend.

I woke up late for the buffet that I was going today.

Hah I fantasize too much.

A bit of Xmas here and there

First trial of Matcha macaroons turned out really nice!
Its one of my best bakes yet!

It was quite accidental coz I had leftover ingredients from my cheesecake brownie and I didn't want to waste them so I just made them quickly.


Matcha macaroons with cream cheese filling.
What most of my friends described

"The saltiness of cream cheese came out, followed by matcha flavour which lingers at the back of the tongue"

Also tried Brownie Cheesecake for the first time and turns out really good too. The chocolate i worked with added a very nice touch of cocoa butter to the brownie and the cream cheese I mixed in complemented the sweetness of the brownie.

It is time for more Matcha bakes


Set lunch at Chef Daniel's kitchen which is really value for money: Soup, Main and dessert for only $16.50.
I ordered Grilled Sirloin for the main, which is well marinated and prepared and the vegetables are surprisingly soft but crunchy!

I had a lot of bubble teas too, with promotions.

Grass Jelly milk tea at Shiny Tea was not bad and you can get another fruit tea for an additional $1. I also had Peach Melon fruit tea at Sharetea and you get a free melon tea with a purchase of large Peach Melon fruit tea. Hee hee.

I didn't expect Xmas presents this year but turns out I had really a bit of presents!

haha. Cindy and my sis gave me too! Wow!

I was expecting a normal day today with normal dinner but there were so much food on the table! A Xmas feast!

Guess my parents also felt the festive mood too.

oh to add to the festive mood, I coloured my hair Copper. haha

Buys from US

Before I forget, I just wanna show off. Haha

The pile of clothes I bought from US in summer.


My collection of Kor water bottles, also from US.


My limited edition Star Wars X-wing

Judgement

I feel like I am judging my friends too much. I really should stop it and reset because I am stereo-typing them even before I meet them.

Or shld I not?

After all everything is lesson learnt.

Taurus especially. Stubborn, inflexible, proud, don't like to admit they are wrong. And when they make a mistake, just keep quiet, make no sound, expecting others to make the first move. You didn't even say anything to me and you go around telling others what you should have told me and you expect me to know?! Can you not be a stone-head?

I just hate it when people take me for granted. Not that I think I'm a big shot or anything, its just they expect me to be so ever nice or forgiving or what. Some people just like to take advantage of me. and some even have the cheek to turn it into an arrow behind me.

Fine, if that way, so be it. Don't expect me to do anything extra anymore. Seriously.

no whining

I just went for a dip in the pool. Another pool therapy.

All these social media status updates or tweets makes us crave for attention and whine about tiny little things. When I look at things at a wider angle, I realized that some of them are irrelevant. Therefore I am going to stop whining like a girl and put some productive thoughts into actions. DO NOT WHINE.

One of those tiny little things like how I went back to school that day to find out that my mentor sent all the FYP samples to china without telling me and I have to do the 6 hour experiment from scratch. I wasted a day coming to school because I can't start the experiment in the sunny bright afternoon which I intended to swim and it rained heavily when I got back.
Yeah, I shouldn't care about small little things like that.

And then it also dawned on me that I was living my my past and it is very unhealthy. I have to live the now and look to the future.

The glory in the past is history.

Your future lies ahead.

crashed

I just don't know what to say. After hearing what leeping told me about retard face getting called back to the company, the whole world crashed on me. Flat on the face. Its not the first I have heard. They called bird face back too. So should I feel sad or pissed?

I haven't been really depressed or sad or emo this semester because I was enjoying school life that I have forgotten what it feels like to be so demoralized.
Pissed because there are more capable and more deserving people out there who wants it more than them. Some people just gets things so easily while others who wants it more just needs to work even harder.

I haven't been doubtful of my abilities till now because there is only one ultimate goal after these 4 years: To get a good paying job.

So if other people can get it so easily without even trying, why work so hard for 2nd upper? why minor in business? why part time in banks?

What else do I need to do to prove my capability? Am I not capable enough? or am I over-confident? Did I over estimate myself? Am I doing things the wrong way?

I'm not going to say life isn't fair because it is like a kid just pure whining and not doing anything. I'm also not going to say anything bad about them because there's nothing I can do about it. I'm just not convinced that they should be there instead of me. Entirely, it is about me, not them.
But I believe in the principle of equivalent trade. Maybe its something that I use to comfort myself but it is the way of life. You gain something but you also lose something of equivalent value in a way or another.

The bright side is, at least I don't get to see their fface. But LP said I shouldn't discount myself because of them.

I will walk patiently and find the light at the end of the tunnel.
Reflect and reform. I hope optimism works.

bubble teas

What I did today:

Went Jurong East for astons and library to borrow more comics. I wanted to go Central Library but my account was full already.

The bubble tea fad is starting to balloon again. There are more than 5 bubble tea shops in Jurong East itself and more than 7 in Clementi like Shiny Tea... Drink tea... I had most of them before in Taiwan. Guess its a matter of time before the bubble burst again.

I saw this at JE MRT!

Its from Taiwan and quite good. And they have healthier pink pearls!

Headed down to Yew Tee and tried this SOD bubble tea. I had SOD milk tea with grass jelly as usual.



They claimed "SOD is commonly known as SuperOxide Dismutase. It's an anti-oxidant that helps to remove toxins, prevent and neutralize various types of free radicals that damage our body. It also boosts our immune system. Today, all Singaporeans are able to enjoy the FIRST healthy and premium SOD Bubble Tea Series at SOD Cafe in Singapore which is a joint-collaboration by both Singapore organization, SOD Cafe LLP and Food Innovation Resources Centre."

Review: I had no idea it was tea coz I didn't taste any tea flavour at all. Mayb I should try their speciality greek yogurt milk tea.

Healthy bubble tea anyone?

LHR with time

Our sense of time is such an amazing thing.

We could feel that time is passing slowly or too quickly, its such an irony because time is actually a constant. Since we can't change the constant, we can change the variable, which is our speed, which is relative to time. To maximise it, output per time must be maximised. Ok i'm going out of track with all those engineering terms.

Anyways, all I want to say is I have a love hate relationship with time. Sometimes I want it slow, because I can slowly complete my things and enjoy the moment but sometimes I want it fast because I am waiting for something to be completed. At the same time, I want both during exams, because I want exams to finish asap but I want to complete my studying as well. During holidays, which is now, I want to slowly finish my comics and my to-do list but I also wanna start my school term quickly so that I learn more productive stuff.

For example, before today I had to complete my FYP interim report and I had lesser time to play. After I'm done I feel that I have much more extra time than I expected. So the moral of the story is.... plan your time well. But you will waste more time planning it. HA! Such irony!

Hi Apple 4S

Social pressure comes in a phone.

An iphone.

4S.

White.

Which i waited for a month.

Because everywhere is out of stock.

I miss my walkman phone....
the radio
the walkman mp3
the number pad which i can press without looking
the number pad sms which i do not have typo mistakes due to fat fingers
the battery life which can last for a week on a single charge

the spiderman chain which i can hang

the small size that fits in my pocket

and I hate the new expensive plan which charges extra for caller ID. argh.

SNSD Girl Generation

I thought I would never be a fan of korean pop but the concert I worked for yesterday was so awesome that I can't take my eyes off them on the stage.

Its unbelievable. Their star factor and energy factor was full gauge throughout the whole concert.

My friends came to watch the concert and they saw me work for the first time. haha. They also had serious withdrawal syndrome after that.

Its incredible that their dancing was so synchronised, the angles of their legs and arms are so equal and their timing was so exact it seems like they are robot, but there are some little bits of imperfection between them. Their dancing was the best I've ever seen and they maintained the same level of energy throughout the 3 hours.

Their songs are so catchy and they can really twist and shake.

omg the shoulder twists!!!

Arrow of SNSD cupid shoot my heart please....

All pass

I went for my IPPT for this year at the new Kranji camp, a short 20 mins away from my house and there's only less than 10 people taking so it was quite a fast and casual one. Although i was 20 seconds away from another $100, i was glad my SBJ improved (or issit the machine) but i shld have trained more for my 2.4. Oh wells, better than nothing.

I have so many stuff to occupy me this holiday!

I just spent $20 on baking stuff!
I bought matcha powder, walnuts, jelly powder, flour, soya bean milk etc etc...
I baked chocolate macarons yesterday and made beancurd today, all because most of my existing baking stuff are expiring by year end and there's still a lot left!

FYP interim report by this week and i am procrastinating A LOT. Sighs, i need to get rid of this super bad habit.

I have this stack of Spidermans that i keep delaying to read coz once i read there's nothing more for me to look forward to! I have ransacked most libraries of their comics and i have so little left that i haven't read.

I still have 3 sets of untouched gundams in my cupboard and my friend's giving me another. Heh. i wonder when i'm gonna set my ass down to do it.

I have Kingdom Hearts uncompleted in my PSP and i just installed 3rd Birthday. Seriously have no idea how to finish the games.

fyp injuries

its really hard to type when you have an injured thumb. To make it worse, an injured 4th finger on the other hand makes it even worse to do everyday chores.

Somehow i managed to sustain so many injuries on my hands while doing FYP. I was machining and filling and grinding my aluminium pieces. And it makes it hard to type my interim report so i will postpone it. hee hee.

I always get the 'no directions in life' kinda feeling during the hols. Its like sandwiched between studying and working. You can't really spend money because you do not have a job and you can't really study because school hasn't started. And I believe this is one of the last time I'll be having a really holiday holiday so might as well holiday totally. heh. ok.

Maybe a short trip somewhere will make this holiday fulfilling. But again, financial constrains.

after exam comics

I love our public libraries.

So many new spidermans to read after my exams
