Lunch with Linda at Pho Hoa
Written @ 11:37 PM
Had lunch with Linda today! ^^
I brought her to Pho Hoa at Holland Village for Vietnamese beef pho!
It was the first time I saw how the beef flank looked like!
Its beef brisket plus FAT! Haha!
Hope Linda enjoyed her meal today ^^
Though adding too much fish sauce makes it saltier~ Oops!
Remember to drink lots of water after that too! ^^
Having a meeting tomorrow! Hope I don't screw up or make too much pauses hee.
See ya soon, Linda! =D
Say No to Tomorrows.

Tonight, I learnt to cherish the time I had now.
If I want to do something, do it now.
If I missed someone, tell him/her now.
Don't think about "there's always a tomorrow", "I can do it another time".
Cos who knows that person wasn't there any more.
The roles have changed and there's no way to return to the past to change it.
Would I regret it? I will.
Emptyness
Written @ 12:36 AM
On nights like this, I would sink into the darkness.
Just like the moon that only appeared in the dark and masked by the sun in the day.
I always seek solitude in my comfort zone.
My life felt so empty. I do not have dreams, inspirations and wouldn't dare to think of the future.
There was nothing I wanted...it's getting tiring to live up to what others expect of me.
When people tried to get close, I built invisible walls around me.
Its so hard to trust people.
As I grew up, I only believe in myself.
Everyone had a motive when they were good to you.
I don't felt the sincerely within the words and company.
I need to hide my weakness and put up a strong front through everyday.
People thought I am innocent but because of that I saw the truth, I seen through everything.
God let we see everything I wouldn't imagined and it pains me...
O YA, you know why people watched anime and dramas the whole day. The reason was they were lonely people, who have lots of time on their hands, their real lives are too boring and wanted to experience a new life even though its not theirs. It's fascinating cos as I watched a comedy, I was happy, when I watched a tragic drama, I cried like hell and became so sad afterwards. They really affect our lives =D
During exams, I like to watch shows that the characters don't give up so I will feel the same way too and studied harder than before. Hmm, ok you can say that its no life but for a moment, I felt the mixed emotions running through me, a reminder that I am still alive. ^^
Kk I cried enough. Better go sleep early and wake up to face the sun strongly tomorrow. ^^
Ben & Jerry + Yayoiken
Written @ 1:00 AM
Have you gotten your Ben & Jerry's ice-cream this afternoon?
Look at the long Q! Fortunately, I reached early or else it will be a long wait.
The reason for the free ice cream was to promote its opening in Rochester Mall. Yup!
There were a total of 5 flavours to choose from and I got Strawberry cheesecake ^.^
But the sad thing was the ice cream wasn't frozen enough as the fridge was kept open! LOL
So tempted to Q again for another cone, a single scoop just wasn't enough haha!
Just a thought only, we headed back to Matrix for lunch.
Ended up, I ordered a plate of side dishes without rice and I can't even finish half of it XD
Haha! The dessert already removed my craving for lunch le ^^
Just do a "check in" at their Facebook page and I get a free Iphone cover.
How cool! But the casing will only fit Iphone 4.
Happy me went back to office after lunch to finish up my powerpoint slides for next week's presentation.
I met up with Jaslyn and Sylvia too. We had dinner at Yayoiken located in Liang Court basement. Their beef steak was super yummy!!! I loved the salad too, its so appetizing! No wonder Sylvia said her Japanese clients recommended her this Jap restaurant! After dinner, I was sooo stuffed already. Lisa was still helping us to finish our food!!! XD
Saw my favourite snack at the Japanese supermarket beside the restaurant!
This feels so old school. Esp the colourful sugar balls!!! ^^
XB said after I finished the biscuits, can use our fingers to dip the choco and coat it with the sugar! Cool, I shall do that! Haha!!!
After that, we went for ice cream! I bought rum and raisin BUT I couldn't taste the rum T.T
I still love Udder's ice cream for the high dose of RUM! ^.^
Totally pigging out tonight~
Before I end off...
I wanna thank XB for the Sticky sweets too!
I got the Cola and Raspberry one this time! Hee!
Home Alone
Written @ 9:47 PM
Hi~ I was home alone again. ^^
I was feeling tired today so I decided to stay home to rest.
Home is the most comfortable place, isn't it. =)
Mum helped me to dye my hair yesterday into a dark brown shade, but its like black under shade. Haha~
I thought my hair looked healthier in this colour. ^^
After that, my parents and I went to watch "The Grey" at Balestier.
Rina and her boyfriend came along to join us too.
They got seats just beside us, how lucky. ^^
Personally, I don't like the story of the movie.
Firstly, I hate to watch air planes crash and from the start, I knew all of them will die...
A lot of F word, they are using the word at every single thing...super irritated.
Nah~ 2/5 star only...
Okie~ let's move on to happier stuff.
I finally finished all my driving lessons and had booked a practical test date.
Gambatte! I can do it. Being calm and super careful will pass the test! Yosh~!
I can't wait to get my driving licence. God bless me no stupid taxis and not so many cars after my U-turn! XD
I got tickets to watch "THE WICKED" musical HEE at the end of March. Yippie!
It was the first musical I ever bought tickets for and I can't wait to watch it! ^^
Got to start studying tomorrow for my mid sem!!! No last minute studying, I shall promise myself ^^
Before a week post
Written @ 11:17 PM
Let's have an end of week post~
Haha~ Boss declared to be busy and I get to work on my school assignments at work ~
But sometimes, I gave in to temptation and started watching anime or korean dramas. Haiz!
HK must be thinking "this girl ah ~ so free".
I didn't get to eat my favourite Beef Pho at Holland Village. Yeah! We will be having it this week! XD
I really missed the flavour of the beef stock, the special Vietnamese noodle and the hot chillies provided!!!
For breakfast, I started to replace my milk tea with Oatmeal cereal drink and Oatmeal Squares. I will get instant Oats to add into my drink by this week. =)
- Lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease.
- Help you control your weight
- May reduce the risk for type 2 diabetes
- Reduce high blood pressure
- Oatmeal contains a wide array of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants
- May actually reduce the risk for certain cancers.
- Fast and easy to prepare
- Its Yummy!
After one week, I am not so dependant on tea any more!
I drank green tea after lunch only.
This way, I will feel more energetic and less yellowing of my teeth by tea stains.
At times, we visited the supermart to refill our supplies of snacks and drinks. So I got blueberries this week. I saw Korean strawberries too but didn't buy. Haaa...
Yesterday, I met up with Yuhua and Linda for dinner at Togi Korean restaurant located at Chinatown. I drank many bowls of my Ginseng Chicken Soup!!! Shiok sia! But we ordered too much, ended up feeling stuffed! XD During the meal, we updated each other on our recent happenings and was happy for Linda's good news. Yeah~! =) So sweet~ they kept smsing each other throughout the meetup! XD Yuhua and I was like "Tsk, tsk~". Haha!
After that, we walked to THE CENTRAL to digest our food. There was a Korean restuarant there which was good too, "Seoul Yummy". =) Linda was a BIG STICKY fan cos she bought many packs of the yummy candy. I like "Watermelon Rock" and also bought "Passionfruit Rock" to try~ its not bad but the flavour was milder compared to the watermelon. I will be bringing them to work tomorrow! XD
Yuhua really had a massive appetite, she can still finish 2 desserts at TCC afterwards! Wonder where do all the food go loh! I am so stuffed that I only managed to finish my pot of African Sunrise tea. ^^
This morning, I went for my driving lesson again. This time, I kept reminding myself to be calm and take it slow. It helps! Only made a big mistake of turning my steering wheel too abruptly towards the right filter lane and almost hit the kerb haha! Yikes! Will remember it!!! "Turn slowly and gently"! =D
Kk past 11pm~ Time to sleep! Good night!
Written @ 12:01 AM
Saddening evening.
How can I forget about my footwork? *Where can I find a hard wall?
I felt that my judgement was losing control and my limbs counter-acted by doing more dangerous stunts.
So angry with myself.
I need to be calm, I am not rushing anywhere and there was a lot of time for me.
Why am I so reckless?
I am not good at it. Will I ever be?
The urge to give up was stronger than holding on.
AHHHh... so frustrating that I can't get the thoughts off my mind now. (= A =)
I hate my baka self.

I attended a morning Auto car lesson yesterday and it was so much easier compared to a manual. XD
I don't need to worry about changing gear in time and everything goes way smoother. I can fully concentrate on the road and driving conditions. Haha! Guess I chose the harder way at the start. No regrets but to try my best to pass it.
After my Sat driving, I went for school in the afternoon. The weather was so dry and hot that I couldn't concentrate and stoned through the class after my journey there. The slides were wordy and I only wanted to doze off. So I didn't catch anything. After class, I joined my classmates for a snack at Coffee Bean. My favourite pasta didn't taste as good blah, the cream sauce was diluted...At Lot One, Yuhua and I went for hair trimming and treatment at Jean Yip. Finally, my hair was neater now, we did the basic treatment but the effect was similar to my Assence hair mask. Haha~wasted, I can buy a few tubs of the mask with that money. Yuhua has been complaining of back pain ever since last week so I decided to join her in the back massage at Refreshed. At first, we chickened out cos the place was filled with uncles haha! But Yuhua really wanna solve the problem that night so we headed in. It wasn't so packed after we are done with our hair. Total cost was $30 for 30mins, hmm $1/ min? I don't know the market rate. Well, just to give it a try, I guess it was alright. I knew it will be painful but the pain was bearable. In fact, I think it was the pain that makes it shiok haha! 30mins was just nice and my shoulders felt lighter afterwards XD The uncle only said that my my muscles were a bit tense. Hee Seems that Yuhua was experiencing hell on the other side. *Drink more water hor!!! =D
Woke up on Sun morning with a shoulder that felt like I carried sacks of rice yesterday. Haha! It was my first time doing a back massage so that explains it. It will go away after a few days ^^
Today, I am back to my manual car and I am not used to it haha! I became nervous again when changing lanes from first to third and back to first to turn right in time at the traffic junction XD. Will be careful again XD As usual, I would ask the instructor for comments and what I need to improve on though I already knew it myself. Sat's lesson was my checking of blind spots and parking. Today, instructor mentioned about my nervousness in lane changing especially heavy traffic. Each time was different haha! It's alright, I will take note for my night lesson tomorrow evening. Hee.
I didn't go out today cos I wanted a rest before starting a new week tomorrow.

Shall upload one photo I took in my office today (^ . ^)
This was the longest fringe I had LOL
Mum kept reminding me to trim my hair but I am reluctant XD
I don't want to trim it shorter cos now the length is just right to move all to one side. hee
Ep11 for "The moon that embraces the sun" drama was out! Yippie~ I was camping for the release for 3-4 days le. Finally...!
Went Watsons to stock up on my hair treatment products and I left the store happily with a $70+ bill...always like that. During bathing, I used the last bit of my "Asience hair mask" and my hair became softer and smoother again! There was a nice scent too. *Loves* Hmmm.. Gonna coat it with another layer of "Essential Damage Care hair essence" before I sleep. ^^ That will suffice.
Talking about exercise~ I should start running again haiz! I don't want my Nike shoes to spoil and time to trim some FATS. I have been dieting recently by reducing my intake of food, especially carbohydrates! Plus I switched my milk tea to plain water for lunch and dinner. So I will only have a cup of tea in the morning to activate my mind for the day ahead ^.^
Will blog about random stuff like this till there's interesting happenings. XD
Driving AUTO car tomorrow yeah~! Better sleep now or else its too late ! Bye!
Work. Study. Drive. Sleep (x n)

I was so lazy to take photos these days haha!
So this post shall be wordy again.
For my driving, I have finished stage 3 and is going to practice the test routes in my future lessons. Classes for MICR3308-3309 have commenced so I will have less time for my driving. I will try to book 2 lessons per week. Hopefully there are peeps cancelling their slots for the next weekend! Haiz, the timetable was released late. I didn't booked the lessons in advance so I am camping for possible time slots now. Blah!
About work, I haven't been doing any productive stuff lately. I was waiting for the the
B.Subtilis spores to be delivered to kick start my JCO project and they are arriving tomorrow! =) And...I just dropped my Isoform project as the results are inconclusive and doing some simple optimization work while waiting for the hybridoma screening to start. I heard that the screening part is gonna be insane...well, hope its not close to my exams.
I just ordered hundred bucks of clothes from Hollyhoque BO. Haha! Mad about clothes and I am not wearing them as fast as the buying process XD Mum's gonna kill me again. Everyday, I am facing the com, what else can I do besides that. Haven't been sleeping and eating well these days. Ah~ Okay I decided to do a face mask and drink a ginseng tonic before sleeping at 11pm tonight!!!
Nitez!
P.s When is ep 11 coming out ? XD
