Don't hesitate to achieve

(28/12) So Nicholas and I decided to set up a dinner with Dickson, in hopes that it will help him destress, in which Dickson suggested a movie. However, there isn't any good films recently, hence Nicholas, Shawn and I decided that singing was a good plan.

However, it was at the last minute that Dickson felt that he wasn't in any mood at all to be singing (something he usually enjoys) :( We all could relate to his down feelings after what happened so I didn't really feel disappointed.

But still, Nicholas, Shawn & I had loads of fun singing random songs (oldies or rock). And Shawn had some of his friends in another room, hence he went to join them a few times, for short get-togethers. And conclusion for the day, Nicholas dislikes Drake songs a lot! Xp



Anyway, after the singing session which ended at 12 midnight (cause it was some happy hour from 7-12) -ᴗ- We decided to buy a cake, preferably from McCafe, to my granny's house to celebrate for my Aunt Gina her birthday, as well as to check on Dickson (who was staying over).

Then the crazy situation getting to our grandma's place: We missed the last bus of the straight bus, hence we took another bus which dropped us off kilometres away from our destination. Which was actually a good thing cause we stopped by the mall (only to find the MacCafe/McDonalds already closed -_-) hence we decided to buy a strawberry cheesecake and some 寿桃 (Shawn's idea) from ntuc. Afterwhich we continued walking all the way.

Grandma was so happy when we arrived cause the atmosphere at home became livelier, and Dickson's mood also seemed better as the boys joke around. Shawn was so adamant on waking Aunt Gina even after she has already fallen asleep :P But she was glad that there was a mini celebration tonight ^ᴗ^ Everyone exclaimed how the strawberry looked like ketchup on the cheesecake, but we still agreed that it tasted good~

The funniest thing ever was when Dickson exclaimed, "how weird this household must be, to be steaming & eating 寿桃 in the middle of night" (>▲<) And the laughters continued through the night before my mum came by to pick us, and dropped Shawn & Nicholas home.

YOUNG JULES - CHANGE UP

time will heal all scars

(26/12) So it was boxing day~ We opened our presents, we decided that it was going to be an exceptional day and all, and it all went fine :) I downloaded left 4 dead 2 on stream ;} Met granny and aunt gina at the round market (where they were eating with my second aunt and her husband). Also, we visited my grandpa whom fell down that day and had stitches at the hospital. My second sis brought us all to eat Tsukada Nojo Bijin Nabe @ Liang Court, and woohoo! the soup, chicken and noodles were amazing *eyes sparkling*



(27/12) Today, we brought little Jairus to a clinic to check on his skin condition and bought lots of pastries home ;P A short sunday, whereby I took a looonnnnnngggggggg nap and had this weird but sweet dream :) Had dinner at our usual place, blk 144. The night was better than usual, as of now, I'm chilling in my room with my mom as she is stalking people on facebook. Also discussing with my cousins, if we're meeting for dinner tomorrow night :)

SPIRITED AWAY PIANO PIECE - ALWAYS WITH ME
(opened this on our tv today for jared & jairus' nap time)

merry christmas dear all

So this year, my dad & brother are overseas for christmas, while my older sis was out~ (just me, my second sis & her kids, and my mum) Thankfully though, we invited my second maternal uncle & his family (incl my cousins shawn & nicholas), as well as my aunt gina & favourite granny ᵕᴗᵕ So of course, the christmas party was a lively one! My nephews, Jared & Jairus were so excited (>ᴗ<) So was I

Lots of good food, stories to share, more love for the kids (Jared & Jairus) & lots of liquor & presents to go around ^ᴗ^ My uncle & shawn even helped my mum put together her new, small bedroom closet & a toilet shelf (kuddos!) Nicholas clicked so well with Jared! And the ladies were just happy making small chats :) Really cherish the extended family that my parents gift to us (their siblings = my uncles + aunts = my cousins)

CODY CHESNUTT - 5 ON A JOYRIDE
(credits to kang gary of running man)

time, even if destiny blocks the eyes, please protect the love from deep within her heart (kwill - you are love)

Yup, so today budd and I had our first karaoke session together ^ᴗ^ As well as our maiden taste of "maki san", which was so-so :| Afterwhich we decided to slack at a Lan, playing Left4Dead 2 (my first time playing it, or any LAN games) Woohoo, it was exhilarating (>ᴗ<) And to think I use to wonder why guys would spend hours in a LAN shop ᵕᴗᵕ'



After several decision makings, we settled for MOS burger for dinner X) Cause the both of us hardly remember the last time we had it. We then window shopped around Plaza Singapura, which ended with budd getting two presents striked out from her christmas gifts list and me purchasing an affordable supplementary mini laptop (cause my main one is coming apart: literally the exterior)

NOTE: It is advisable not to buy roasted coffee beans from branded coffeehouse chains *coughs* Just one in particular :)

ANGUS & JULIA STONE - BELLA

we only learn to appreciate something in the absence of it

So, Xin yun asked if I wanted to gym last night, out of the blue :D It's been months since the 3 of us (w/ che wen) met ^^ Can't wait to see them for Christmas ᵕᴥᵕ



Can't wait to meet budd (Wei Qi) next tuesday after her papers, for our first K session! ^ᴗ^ And i painted my nails after a longgggg time, in preparation for christmas :)



Recently hooked onto “爸爸去哪儿 season 3” (chinese ver). So in love with the innocence & little maturities (小大人) in the kids! So it became a daily routine for me and my mum ᵕᴗᵕ Also got me thinking about how I've been towards my parents for the past years, and recaling how much love they gave me when I was younger. hehe, but I always got them in my wallet (>ᴗ<)



Last but not least, took a polaroid of me & Jairus with an expired film >▲<

KATY PERRY - THIS MOMENT

a certain isolation needed to appreciate life

(04/12) Thanks Budd! For the gifts from Europe, for the driving manual notes, and simply for choosing to spend your free time with me ♥ʊ♥

Hehe, and we couldn't resist watching 我的少女時代 another time (>ٮ<)

(05/12) Can't wait for the cousin and aunty who's coming to my home with granny. Lots more activities to do with them around :)

陳綺貞 - 還是會寂寞

When he takes in every word she says so attentively

Heard from budd about her amazing trip to europe ♥ʊ♥ Can't wait to travel next year, probably to Taiwan



Finally caught up with xin yun & che wen :D It's been ages since we last met! So we had churros for dinner and watched 我的少女時代 which budd and my sis so strongly recommended



Really love the two main characters of the movie & their chemistry. Xin yun & I bet on who would cry first, of which I won ᵕٮᵕ Though I tried to restrain myself from crying, and at many scenes I felt tears welled up in my eyes, taking great efforts to hold them back - But still, I cried at the scene when he left, and she realising how much she has missed coupled with the music playing at the right moment!

Love how the movie was all from the viewpoint of the female protagonists, but the film made efforts to incite even more emotions from the audience by telling it from the male deuteragonist (second lead) in a short summary. So, it's a flawless high school romance film cause it made many people cry, and because I keep wanting to recap the whole film in my head after I leave the cinema

Didn't want to leave any details out from the romance which beautifully unfolded before me
♥ ♥ ♥

田馥甄 - 小幸運

TABLO - EXPIRATION DATE

happy 56th birthday mom

(31/10) So we had my mother's birthday dinner @ Fullerton Hotel, on the actual day of halloween xD Jared was so fearful of the atmosphere with "ghosts" parading around. The view was great as we had outdoor seats, along Boat Quay, and we had the luxury of watching the Lights Shows at the Ancient Civillisations Museum while seated xP

Can't thank my mum enough for being so free-spirited and bringing us up that way. For even through the toughest of times, we know how to allocate some time for ourselves or for family and just to de-stres~ Also glad that she appreciates my present lots, and makes sure I know how happy she is :)


And here's my happy pill who brightens the day even though I'm going through quite a stressful time at work

MADE IN HEIGHTS - PIROUETTE

Don’t try to disappear

My biases ♥ʊ♥ Cause they are such dorks :B

if you do

it is too addictive ~

Don't let life pass you by

Yay!!! I finally met up with Buudd ♥ʊ♥ The last time was when we sent xin lin off ;'( Had dinner at Nihon Mura Express, Cathay. Caught up loads on budd's school life & my work life, which led to two hours long of supposedly "express" meal >.< Glad that budd and I live along the same street cause we continued our chats on the bus back :) And we forgot to snap pictures of our outing :\

Totally love my walks home when I play my shuffle list on random and up pops a super nice song ᵕᴥᵕ Today, the main was Shades of Cool by Lana Del Rey:
Makes one feel super important and like you don't have to give a sh*t to any negativity

Upon reaching home, I immediately flipped open my laptop to watch "She Was Pretty" online ♥ Been looking forward to every two new episodes each week, and that can only be fulfilled every friday night ;} Things have been progressing for the protagonist and it is ever more light-hearted in the recent episodes :D

THE CRANBERRIES - LINGER

the missing puzzle piece

she was pretty

Can't wait to finish this drama already! Only started two episodes last night, yet it was already so eventful at the start of the unrequited romance :) I'm personally a fan of the lead actress for I find she portrays exaggerated roles very naturally, perfect for dramas. Plus point: The show's kind of a romance comedy, hence, very light hearted ♥

the 와 in his name

Running Man ep 265

The episode was about the Running Men struggling to escape a deserted island through IQ or simple games, or simply finding the strokes in their names. Hence, the guests invited had higher IQs then the average.

What amused me the most was how the production team only created 2 identical strokes for a certain 와 (Wa) in Gwangsu's name. Hence, when he tore a piece which the PD team had given him, he had to forage the island in search of the other unique stroke xD

And the celebration he had upon finding it, and the big wide smile he carried while running, priceless ^ٮ^

"Waaaaaaaaaa!"

10CM - IT'S SO NICE

breaking against rocks

ODESZA - KUSANAGI

(18/09) Met up with Xin Yun and Che Wen for dinner! Had just desserts though >.<, at Nunsaran, Orchard Central. Afterwhich, we just went shopping around Scape and Cineleisure. A really slack outing following a boring week, which was somehow satisfying. Real glad I still have friends I CAN meet ♥ Just 3 social circle of friends for me :P






(summary on family weekends) Just more suppers and late night "escapades", considering bringing two young kids around x) We tried Milk & Honey, OneKM Mall. It was not bad though I still prefer Milk Cow, Tampines1. #sinfulGELATOoverYOGURTanytime ᵕٮᵕ







(updates) Having my weekly swims lately #proudofmyself #stillLearning #thatismymumabovewithhergrandkids
And here are some exclusives on Jairus #thelittlestONE

It doesn't. have. to match

If only it is this easy to fall into mutual trust & love, in reality.
If only relationships are forged simply by fate.

OH WONDER - WHITE BLOOD

The Man From U.N.C.L.E

United Network Command for Law & Enforcement

With an interesting story plot in relation to history, action scenes, subtle humors, and two dashing actors saving the damsel in distress, it can't get any better!
Glad budd and I decided to watch this film ^ٮ^

SOLOMON BURKE - CRY TO ME (TMFU OST)

All things - good or bad - will pass in time

Oh my ghostess
OMG, I'm balancing two dramas at the same time. And simply because "OMG" is much more light hearted at the start of the series. Romance is everywhere... ♥

had I told the sea what I felt for you

♥♥♥

PRIMARY FT. KWON JIN AH, RAP MON - U

"I will say this truthfully. When he kissed me on the show, I didn't feel anything. I was just surprised. But after that incident... my heart fluttered a bit.

Right now, we are just partners. Gary and I have met for 5 years, so we rely on each other and we learn a lot about each other too. Right now, instead of having feelings for each other, a part of me really wants to have good memories from him."

(Song Ji Hyo)

♥♥♥ (21/08/15) And Ji Hyo kissed Gary back during a RM concert! ♥♥♥

be happy with yourself

Took an IQ test right after rewatching an episode of Family Outing where they revealed their IQ levels XD So happy with mine, hehehe ;B I was hoping for a 130<

for us there is only one place

Just chilling on a thursday night, watching dramas, scrolling through tumblr and drinking blackberry cider B)

GREASY CAFE - FORCE

for the first time in a very long time, my heart feels light

Scholar who walks the night

"I'm afraid of you. I, who fed off the live of my lover, I, who is not human, staying by your side, watching you, touching you. I fear that I will want to live as a human. "

BIRDY - WINGS

understands you even in madness

AMTRAC - SUMMER'S OVER

(28/08) Yet to get my hands on the photos of my cousin's brithday: Dickson's 21st :B


(29/08) Met up with Wei Qi (Qi), Ying Hui (Choong) & Seraph (Seet) for lunch @ Percolate, Bedok. Caught up loads on Choong & Seet's Uni lives as well as Choong's experience in Berkeley, California. As usual, 3 hours passed by as we sat chatting in the cafe :D






(29/08) Celebrated my 2nd sis birthday over a seafood feast @ Jumbo seafood, East Coast Park. Although my family is prone to squabbles and are sometimes insensitive to each other, I'm so thankful that they can be so cheerful and transparent in front of each other. We can just lay any discussion on the table, for the others to know about :)








(30/08) Celebrated Alvin's 21st birthday in advance!! :D I find comfort in the fact that, after months of absence in each other's live, Alvin, Leck Qi and I are still close with each other. Gtta thank them for their sensitivity and thoughtfulness, of remembering all the nitty gritty details. And it makes me do the same for them.
