2014 started out on a good (not-too-bad I'd say) note for me. Pray hard that it will only get better~ 1 Jan: Stayed at home and got a good break
2 Jan: WORK :(
3 Jan: WORK :( plus a cup of after work teh o, which kinda cheered me up for the night and prepped my mood for the weekend :') 4 Jan: Shopping at JEM/Westgate with mom. Didn't buy anything :( How come it's so difficult to find something you like when you need to buy new clothes... And all the nice clothes come to your sight when you're broke and can't afford them.. :'(
5 Jan: Shopping at Bugis with mom. Got myself 2 skirts and a tyedye top at an unbelievably cheap price of $40!!! Kudos. But no CNY suitable clothes... T_T
6 Jan: WORK!!! And got this awesome news that someone has tendered!!! Best news of 2014 I would say!!! But it's still mixed feelings for now...
7 Jan: Was on leave and went to Adventure Cove for the first time with Vivian and Abby. It was quite fun but less exciting than expected. Ah, and I've set a new goal apart from getting my driving license for myself this year - learn swimming!
Quite worried for my CNY clothes cuz I have not gotten any... Browsed through all the blogshops but no nice onesss :( And the stuff I bought from TB are not CNY suitable too.. Aish. More 'first-times' to accomplish as I turn 21 this year! Can't wait.
Here's a pic of my not-very-recent face #bhbmoment XD
Have been spending wayyy too much money these few months.. Feels like I am splurging on stuffs ever since I started working because I keep having the mindset that if I spend now I can earn back later. BUT HEY I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SAVING FOR MY UNI???!!! I really need to have some discipline for managing my finances!
Anyway I spend $400 plus on G.Dragon's concert (YES HE CAME AND I WENT), $200 plus on my skincare products (which supposedly will cure my acne problem *fingers crossed*), $130 on new hair colour which I was not very satisfied.....

Hi everyone, I'm back, with some determination not to neglect this little space of mine. :) See the title? I have been an office lady for 3 months.. Just some updates of my life, I've officially graduated with a diploma, YAY! Had the graduation ceremony on 17 May 2013, however it was boring~ Shall not elaborate. Anyway I do hope that I'll have my university graduation ceremony in Taiwan soon :) I'll give myself around five years to complete this ambition.
Was really happy becoz it was 4-day work week for the last of two weeks due to Friday being a public holiday! Can't imagine how boring next week will be - that is tomorrow...
24 May Fri: Went praying with da family and then shopping at BPP!
25 May Sat: Outing with da family! Went to RWS and then vivo. Hot but really happy day. I love family outings. Will make an effort to bring ma parents out more often :') It's a regret we can't go into the Sea Aquarium coz of the large number of crowd... :( But we kinda had fun chilling around the casino and hotel lobbies lol. Satisfied my craving of Subway tomato basil soup and Pontian noodles! ^_^ We also went to the Malaysian food street and had their very awesome Chendol and Pancake! Yummy!
26 May Sun: REST DAY
And I got the Comme Des Fuckdown cap and leopard print pants already! Not to mention the sling bag, red clutch, STAGE top, Chromehearts tee and STAGE handphone case~ Happy max! :D
This few weeks I went shopping too much and spent too much money on skincare and cosmetics.. Sigh. Need to save during next pay! Update on the cosmetics/skincare I'm using coz I want to keep a record:

See the change! Medium hair length to rebonded shoulder length hair! ^_^
So what hair length suits me better? And I'm so in love with lipstick now.. All colours of lipstick! ^^
It's been awhile. Have been so busy with work that I'm too lazy to blog.. Haha
Guess my title says it all? Who don't want to be paid to eat good food? Or even flown overseas to try out exotic cuisine? XD You should know how much I love food and I always believe that 能吃是福 haha. Or maybe that's just my excuse? But food is an essential for life so let's just enjoy it! Food porn below :)
Chilli crab buns from DTF
Soy chicken noodles from Crystal Jade Kitchen
The appetizer I cannot go without when I go to DTF
Favourite main course from DTF: Pork chop fried rice
Best of the best: Xiao long bao from DTF
Tze Char lunch for my last day of work at SES
Fine dining at Kuriya Penthouse with April
Seafood aglio olio is one of my favourite pasta! Go healthy! This one's from The Reel Room at RP - also my new working place :)
No idea what's this but I just thought it looks good haha
Mango and durian is the best combi ;)
Fried fish - Taiwanese style from RP Lawn canteen
Canton paradise dinner on 4 May for early Mother's Day dinner. First time here!
BBQ pork rice rolls - tastes normal...
Crispy BBQ pork bun. First time trying those. Worth a try
Fried yam balls. Err overfried..
The fillings inside the crispy BBQ pork bun.
These are the said must try molten salted egg yolk custard buns aks Liu Sha Bao
The fillings
One of my fav dim sum - Mango and prawn fried roll but this is a bit too oily for me, prefer Mongkok dim sum's ones
Dessert was awesome though, very refreshing. Mango sago and pomelo
Very smooth porridge but too bland.. Should have tried their noodles instead.
Overall I love their spread at Canton Paradise and I'll definitely go back to try the other dishes. Meanwhile I'd want to go back to Swee Choon for their LSB haha. I'll be comin back soon ;)
3 weeks into the admin job at Singapore Exhibition Services and I'm dying of tiredness... Imagine waking up everyday at 6am (which I NEVER had to during poly days) and sleeping at 10pm (I know, this is very early but I will be super sleepy if I don't sleep early at night!) is sucha boring and repetitive routine. Eww. I hate my current lifestyle! And I don't particularly like the job I'm doing at SES (although that's my dream company) because I do the same things everyday (for 8 hours) and I have to reach targets -.- (which are kinda impossible to hit). I really miss working at NETS because the workload is soooo much lesser than what I'm doing now.. On the other hand I'm loving the colleagues here at SES :D #blessed
So I actually went to source for other jobs and went for 2 rounds of interviews for the MSO position at RP's corp comms dept. TBH I really love the jobscope (mix of marketing, PR and events) and travelling to Woodlands is gonna be a breeze coz I get to avoid the morning crowd towards JE. I REALLY REALLY HOPE I GET THIS JOB! I was so desperate that I went to the GYM temple at Bugis to pray for some luck.
Now I'm supposed to be doing the test for the interview assessment but I'm really tired already I think I need to sleep soon. I think I will take 1 day leave every week coz I really cannot work consecutively for 5 days i.e. waking up at 6am every morning for 5 days in a row.
Btw today I went to do my hair at Chapter-2 and I spent almost $300 wtf. Very expensive considering that I haven't get my first pay from SES and that I'm supposed to be saving up for Taiwan trip. LOLOL
17 Mar (Sun) - Steamboat supper at Bugis with April
21 Mar (Thu) - Interview at RP + lunch at CWP with mommie
24 Mar (Sun) - Had tze char dinnz with Unc and Aunt
31 Mar (Sun) - Went for ABTM2 at Vivo with DH
03 Apr (Wed) - Interview at RP in the morning. Lot one for lunch with mommie. Bugis in the afternoon (Bought a pair of studded flats for $25 #WhatADeal) and Plaza Sing in the evening for hair rebonding.
Countdown 16 days to Machi Action in SEA.
Countdown 26 days to Dear's BD!!!
And now please pardon me as I post up some selcas of myself. XD
Hihi.. So I just completed my 3 years of study in Ngee Ann Polytechnic and has UNOFFICIALLY graduated! (have yet to attend the graduation ceremony / get my diploma / sure that I don't have to retake any of my modules....)
Anyway the last exam paper was on 18 February 2013 and it's been 1 month since I'm completely free and slacking at home. Doing nothing. Really nothing, because I'm still not sure of what I want to do... That's bad because when you have no ambition / dream, you have no drive..
Nonetheless I have a list of things to do, mostly consisting of things that I really want to do (if I don't have to worry about money and future but to do them just to enrich my soul and make myself really happy) and I really really really hope to achieve and do some of them. :) Beside the things to do I will include a reason why I want to do it or why doing that will make me happier so that I can convince myself to do it. I need drive!!!!!!!!!!!! OK I BELIEVE I CAN DO AND I WILL. :D
PS. Woke up in tears several times so I did a research and found out that people who cry in their dreams / wake up with tears are people whose souls are mourning.. Means my inner soul must be really sad?? :( But they also said it's a healing sign and a form of release for negative emotions so ok...

Learn to play Mahjong 台灣麻將跟廣東麻將
LOL I've downloaded many Iphone games to practice and learn mahjong but I still 一头雾水, I think mahjong have to learn personally from someone / see people play can learn faster.
Learn DANCE / Yoga
I have been contemplating whether I should take up dance classes ever since last year, or perhaps last last year if I don't remember wrongly. But it's always the $$$ problem because Mom doesn't really support this hobby of mine so I have to pay for my own lessons if I really want them! But I seriously think dance is a good form of exercise and I miss my slightly slimmer body when I was still dancing three years ago. Whoa, thinking back, I used to practice dance two / three times per week, three hours per practice! Imagine the sweat and the fats burning away. Dancing is so much more fun than running / gym-ing. Heh. :D And I also want to pick up Yoga, if possible. :)
I miss those days in MDC.. Look at the dressing room, SO MESSY!!! Packed with costumes and stuff.. 可以在台上表演的感覺真的很好，很想念那種感覺。。。
And I used to be able to do splits (refer to above picture, me on the right) but now I can't even do a proper bend forward while sitting down.. :( WHERE IS MY 柔軟度？
And she's one of my greatest motivation!!! YO YO LIEN!!!!! 女神！超喜歡她跳舞時散發出來的那種味道！And this is also one the type of dance that I love the most! 柔中帶鋼！性感不失態度！強！
And she's my another motivation. Need I say more?
One day I shall be able to kick this high again :P
She's the new brand ambassador for Adidas and LOOK AT HE ABS! And I think she's a more suitable Adidas ambass than Rainie.
Nicest body :') But that's A LOT OF HARDWORK! -salutes-
Not saying I want to be able to do this but her drive to learn all the "impossible" things is what I want to have!!!!!!
This is her new image for the 10th MV for Beast (MUSE Album) that was released on 13.03.13. A small part of her performance on the 旋轉鋼管 was also featured and WHY SO RED!
The MV honestly is somewhat similar to Lady Gaga's feel but ok let's not compare the both of them. :D
Dye my hair (I know my hair is still not long enough to be able to do this but I still want!!!!)
I want either blonde / light brown to pink..
Or light brown to purple. or light brown to pink then to purplish tips. :D
TRAVEL TO TAIWAN
This is probably the thing that I want to do the most but I don't know why this is not at the top of the list. And because I want to travel to Taiwan, I am working and saving up!!!! (To be honest at the end of the day I don't even know if the trip is confirmed but nonetheless..) And I have already 下定決心 to apply to Taiwan's Uni (世新大學）but since my parents are not approving of that, I shall save up my own 學費 and 生活費 then apply again next year! (hopefully next year I still have the passion in media studies and the drive to study) And I seriously hope 1 year will be enough for me to save up my overseas expenses because I don't want to waste anymore time! THIS SHALL BE THE BIGGEST 推動力 FOR WORKING AND SAVING MONEY!!!
I was so reluctant to find a job after slacking at home for 1 month after the exams but I really need $ for the Taiwan trip / overseas studying so I took up this job offer that the agent offered me with Singapore Exhibition Services. It's a temporary job till early June'13 and it's mainly data entry / telemarketing (-.-) but NO CHOICE BECAUSE BCG NO REPLY ME WITH REGARDS TO THE RP JOB THAT'S PAYING $9/HR! Pfft. So I accepted this offer at SES since it has something to do with events / media... But Taiwan, WAIT FOR ME OK!!! 存夠錢我就飛過去了。(It's my biggest dream to study and live there but how about my parent?!?!!?!!?!??!) I'm also going to take up tuition / weekend jobs to earn more and save more so that I can faster realise my dream!!! And talking about saving, I'm pretty serious this time ok, I shall not dine in restaurants for no good reason (unless it's like Mothers' Day) and I will not go for movies or whatsoever recreational activities very often. But I kinda miss clubbing LOL!
