End of January 2016

好像一眨眼，时间过得非常快。
我们又来到了第一个月最后的一天。

回顾这31天里，模模糊糊好像并没发生什么事。
我也不知道我的时间是怎么过的。
想想好像就是工作上课下课回家做一点作业睡觉。
周末就配一下G就回家赶作业？不然就是陪家人朋友？好像是吧。。
偶尔会懒一下就看看韩剧。现在非常迷Oh My Venus!
超危险的！因为我一开始看就很想一直接下去看。
但也得控制自己因为我现在只剩下两个星期就要交作业了。。。
一想到就头大。
最好是可以向以往的顺利通过。

啊~ 还有多一个星期就是华人新年了。好快！
我觉得我学会了舍弃。
舍得放弃掉我的旧爱。。
那些陪伴过我的一些东西，我也一一的施舍给别人，捐给Salvation Army。
有些东西收了也没用，收了太多也增添烦恼，还要找位置放。
就像做人一样，心事太多增添烦恼。
不如放下空出那些无聊的事，会开心一点对吧？

前天我去染了新发色。
Ombre pink at the bottom which I did, almost the same, in 2012.
I hope the people in office will not give me a weird look tomorrow. :p





趁年轻，疯狂一下。
好啦，就暂别了~

鱼

今天终于空出一些时间出独自去游泳。

其实我非常懒得去Swimming Complex游泳，因为离家有点远。

其实是借口啦，才10分钟的巴士路程。哈哈~

但是今天还是逼自己去了。

游了大概8laps，成绩不错，但现在手臂非常酸痛。连举高有点酸~

但是是好事！:D

我要把我固执的蝴蝶袖给消除！

其实小时候学游泳的时候，我很讨厌游泳。

一学到基本的就不学了。

但是还是非常感谢父母让我去学。

因为游泳是非常好的运动。

我以前瘦瘦的手臂就是这样练出来的。Lol~

Ok，必须target自己一两个礼拜去几次。

加油！

Feeling Unmotivated

I am here feeling very unmotivated to do my assignments. 西北痛苦啊~
Feels so dead as time is not enough.
I think my brain activates after 10pm.
That's when I start to have ideas to write something. Better than nothing..
So I guess that's explain why I have difficulty sleeping at night...?

Took half day off from school today because bth the lecturer.
Thought I can come back early to start but then I dragged until now (11.30pm), nothing done.
我的时间到底是流失到哪儿去了？Sigh...

Well. I have already think of what I am gonna do after I graduate!
I am so gonna chiong all my Taiwan, Korean drama.
Play all my Zelda and RPG games.
Oh, I miss my life...

Ok done complaining.
Back to assignments... :(

《陪安东尼度过漫长岁月》 经典语录

“想和思念是不同的，想一个人的时候脑袋很清晰，可是思念一个人的时候，脑袋把什么都撇开了。”

Start of Term 4

Hey, its the second week of January already and today marked my 2nd year in TG.
I realized that I missed out a post on Term 4, hence, I am back here to take a short break.
I had lesson earlier so I just got back home not long ago.
Feeling lethargic now but I want to get some things settled and my mind cleared first before I go to bed.

I haven been sleeping well lately...
Within this 2 weeks, I had insomnia or light sleep a few times.
My eye bags and skin condition are getting worse. D;
Anyway, back to the real topic.
As I said before, this term is rather a short term so assignment submission are quite rush.
ABE class is surprisingly fine.
We thought that we won't able to understand the lecturer (because he's an Indian lecturer) but he is good.
I can concentrate his class more than C&O.
I totally switched off when I'm in C&O class because the lecturer is too naggy on unrelated stuff.
Really not sure how am I going to survive.
With about 1 month more to submission, I haven even started a word for C&O.
So I'm now writing Part A of ABE assignment which the lecturer says that there's no right, no wrong.
Even with such comment, my friends and I are still quite unsure what we are writing about.
They say just anyhow bomb, I told them that we also need to bomb intelligently. -_-"
I feel so dead.
Its like I am not progressing good enough for this term and worse still I'm targeting to get a Second Class (Upper) Honours.
Oh, and 10,000 words for dissertation! Good luck to me..

Sigh...
Endure.... endure....

Brand New Start of 2016

Hello, how have you been?

I hope you have fun and a good rest during the long break.

We came to the third day of the new year already!

Seems fast isn't it?

It's also the last day of the long weekend, which I will be starting work and school tomorrow.

Thinking about it, always dread me.

I'll will be busy again with my assignments for this term so this blog will quiet down again.

Its a really short term, like 2 months, and I'll have to submit the assignments next month!

2 different modules, each 3000 words! 

Feeling really stress already. T-T

Anyway, I will still come back here to update whenever I need to get away from my assignments.

I still haven forget about my travelogues.

I need to sort out the photos and categories them into different posts.

Weather is cold lately and I'm loving the cooling day but not the wet weather.

Wear more clothes and don't fall sick. :)

I'll be back.

Cheerio~

No-Bake Chocolate Lasagna

My first kitchen's heaven post in 2016.
Today is stay at home day.
So in the evening, G came over my house and we tried doing the no-bake chocolate lasagna.

The ingredients we bought are a little different from the original recipe because we can't find some of it.
Like heavy cream, we substitute it with thickened cream and graham biscuits, we substitute it with chocolate waffles and digestive biscuits.



Luckily G brought over his mixer, so that we no need to whisk manually.


Cream cheese.

Chocolate pudding.

Here I spread a layer of cream cheese and chocolate pudding over a layer of biscuit. Repeat 2 times. Then fridge it for about 2 hours.
The original recipe states fridge for 4 hours to overnight.
But G is not staying over so at about 9.30pm, we took it out to try it.


Top it with cocoa powder and here's the final result.

My first attempt is always not very successful.
This time, I made mistake by pouring too much milk for both the cream cheese and chocolate pudding, hence it's quite watery and soft.
Still, it tastes good.
Hopefully by refrigerating overnight, it will be more firm tomorrow.

Concluding 2015

2015 wasn't a very smooth journey for me.
I understand that there are ups and downs every year.
As I read my past summary of the year, this year seems to be the worst year of my 28 years of living.
I struggled too much with life, work and school.

At one point, I feel that everything seems crumbling down on me.

The only strength that I got was from working and studying to numb myself. 

Others seems surreal to me.

I hoped that everything is unreal so that I won't suffer.
Perhaps it's my fate to make me learn a lesson from these.
Well, luckily I got up my knees and brought myself forward.

I just felt that I got to help myself because no one can help me.

"You are a strong and independent woman" and "You can live without anybody", that's what my dad and Steph said to me this year.

So I guess I'll take that as words of encouragement for me.

Something positive this year is that I finally set foot in Japan!
My dream destination and I love Japan so much!
Hokkaido is really a beautiful place to be in!
My Hokkaido travelogue will be up next. :p
Other than that, I also traveled to Bandung, a brand new experience.
Looking forward to the family trip next year that already been booked few days ago.
Really excited about it because it's been so long (maybe about 10 years) since we had a family trip.
And hopefully, able to go Finland in the last quarter of 2016 too.

And since I got proposed, I guess wedding bells should be ringing soon?
However, I guess it's still better to take things slower.
Since our house will be in 2017/2018.
Honestly speaking, I'm not very ready for next stage yet.
I think I am very 矛盾。
Well, I guess come what may.

Regarding my school...

Although I had a very hard time struggling with my assignment, I am glad that I really learn a lot.
I am able to relate some of my studies to the business operation, which is a good thing.

Collected my result slip few days ago and I am relieved that I was able to progress to Term 4!
Happy to know that my course mates progressed with me too.
Next, we'll be looking forward to graduate together! :D
So yesterday, I started my first lesson for Term 4.
Anyway, hard work really paid off and money well spent.
Most importantly, I am left with 8 more months to get that valuable certificate!

Oh, I feel that I am writing better in blog, as in expressing myself in words and my language used. Do you think so? :p
I hope I am...

In hindsight, everyday is an important lesson to learn which in turn makes me be a better person.

Year 2016 will be the last year that I'll be in my twenties.
Don't really want to set so much resolution this time.
Last year, out of 6 resolutions, only accomplished 1 or 2.
Hence in 2016, I look forward to a better me.
I hope to be more positive and confident in myself. :)

Lastly, I wish you have a great year ahead too!
Happy New Year~~!!


就把那些不美好的美好锁在心中的抽屉里，让那些悬疑慢慢淡化在记忆里。

Christmas 2015

My usual Christmas celebration was to meet up with my groups of friends.
However, some of them postponed so I'll have to meet them next year.

17 Dec 2015
Met up with Veron and Steph for Christmas Exchange and catching up session at Timbre.
Most of all, we were there for the duck pizza!
But the place is really not good for chatting due to the live band.
Hence we moved to Kopitiam and la Pokka green tea.




23 Dec 2015
Met up with Hanisha at Sports Hub.
Below skyline photo was taken at Water Sport Center.
It's a nice place to see scenery. :)
We dined at Crab in da bag because she always wanted to try something like that.
Food and serve is very good!










24 Dec 2015
Christmas Eve with my dear SW.
At the usual place - JEM/Westgate area.




Christmas Day & Boxing Day
Spent the 2 day with G.
Been eating, eating and eating. -_-"
We also watched Alvin and the Chipmunks.






Presents from friends and colleagues, actually missing out the gifts from my bitches. :X
Anyway, I guess I have been good for this year so thanks for all the love. :)



And that's all about Christmas.
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
Bye~!

Christmas Wonderland at Garden By The Bay

On 20th December, G and I decided to go to Christmas Wonderland at Garden By The Bay.
Initially, we decided to go on Christmas Day itself.
However, we knew that it would be very crowded, so we brought forward the day to go.

We reached around 7pm when the sun is setting.





Loving the blue sky above us.


We changed 11 tokens.
Each tokens cost $2 which was very expensive!
We changed so much token because I wanted to ride the Swinging Chair and wanted to force G to take the thrilling ride with me.
However, when I was that it was for kid, I was like OMG~
Luckily, we were able to sell of 9 tokens it to another family at usual price.
The 2 tokens we played darts at one of the store and I won a small prize. Haha~

Carousel ride cost $10 per pax!!
看就好吧~










We caught the fake "snow" at about 8pm.
Its actually made up of bubbles but I still feel delighted to see it.





Both of us walked around aimlessly before heading back home.
I thought the place is beautiful.
However, things are really overpriced and there are more for the kids to enjoy.
