last weekend i met up with cassy. like uber randomly haha!
she texted me while i was having tuition asking if i wanted to have dinner.
met at city hall and we had skinny pizza!


Black pepper prawn linguine



Apple cider



Butter chicken pizza


wah the pizza standard really cui max after not going there for so long.
ok, maybe our choice wasn't the best :/
after that we decided to head to starbucks for coffee.
it's like when we were younger, we had tons of places to go.
now, after makan, either coffee or go drinking. wtf has happened to us lol!?
like on national day i met up with the classmates as well.
after flying kite at marina barrage, we went starbucks to chill.
it's no wonder i'm a starbucks addict. tsk bad lifestyle~
next day was Share a Curry day,
tell you guys a secret, when dad & i went out to makan that night, we didn't order the curry on purpose.
my dad simply wanted to eat it that night hahaha!
anw cannot cook to save my life so obv i won't be participating in this 'event' but just nice we had curry that night while at the kopitiam.
ohwells :D


Share A Curry


met up with Qiu for dinner with Kaikee the next day in town!
Qiu recommended this Hua Yi Kitchen place at the building beside Shaw Tower.
it's relatively nice! and price reasonable.
but i don't think i'll specially go down just to eat that.
maybe keep it as one of the 'maybe i will go eat' places?
place is quite small tho.


















ahhh she's flying off to HK next week for SEP :(
haven't seen her around since...the last time we met in Taiwan i guess?
LONG HOR. cannot not have a semi farewell dinner for her before she left for HK so that's why we met up :)
oh after that we went to HTHT at Ben & Jerry's Heeren.
I MISS THE DAYS QIU,KEE & ME CAN TALK ABOUT ANYTHING UNDER THE SUN :)
ahh hope she comes back soon man!

Bake-off + my boring school life :(

Hello everyone :D
Week 2 of school has passed by in a blur once more~
Schoolwork has been piling up what with labs starting (VIVA TMD NOOOOOO =[) and trying to understand my lectures now.
Year 1 suddenly seems so easy now T.T
Anw on Tuesday the girls came over to bake at my place haha!
Suppose to come over during the hols but all of us kept having no time so... postpone till now lol.
Tuesday was a free day so I went to meet dear Nicole for lunch at nex before meeting Lirong & Juyin to get the ingredients.
Walk until I want to die :( weather has been a bitch lately.
How come we cannot lower atmospheric temp uh?! LOL.
Ok sprouting nonsense.
For the record we wanted to bake macaroons but the there was no almond meal flour available so we changed it to oreo cupcakes last minute.
And weLirong also made cinnamon rolls :D the other 3 of us just eyepowered haha!


Oreo cupcakes



Cinnamon rolls



Oreo cookie base haha!



Mao's cupcakes from us :)



Hidaya's unglam pose HAHAHA!


by the time we finished baking everything it was like around 7-ish la.
we did frosting this time, my 1st time doing frosting~ fattening :(
dad ate the cupcakes and told me he would have preferred it w/o the frosting but uh.... put alr cannot help liao. sorry dad :P
But baking is tiring! I cannot imagine how Cake Boss does it man.
And he deals with cakes 50x bigger than what we attempted to make D:
The mysteries of life hahaha!
School is still relatively slack for now cos tutorials and what not haven't started.
I WANT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT U TOWN -.-"
EFF FAR FROM CAMPUS AND NO SHUTTLE BUSES COME WHEN YOU NEED THEM THE MOST TMD.
wish I had a car. Sigh.
yeah so ytd was lab day and I was quite stoned from the apparent lack of sleep.
I forgot to bring out things to occupy my time so while going home I decided to play with the Ideal World Cup app!
THIS IS LIKE EVERY K-POP'S FANS' DREAM OK! LOL.
Ok how it works is like you just eliminate 1 from each pair they give you and the last person you choose is your ideal choice la.
I played before on bestie's phone before but I tried out the female stars one ytd.


Ga-In unnie VS Yoona


My last 2 choices. HOW TO CHOOSE?!
Ga-In unnie is like daebak but Yoona also daebak! ROFL.
Sigh of cos I chose her in the end la.
Still <3


Yoona WINS :D


2nd time playing this. Kena such choices it's like T.T


Bom unnie VS Dara unnie



Ga-In unnie VS Yoona again! :(



Yoona wins again haha! :D


HAHAHA as you can see who is my ultimate bias la :P Im Yoona :)
Bom unnie and Dara unnie also quite difficult to choose but in the end I eliminated Dara unnie cos Bom is funnier hahaha!
Next I tried the male idols one again.


Chansung VS Minho


This one machiam bang head on wall lol.
Firstly, I dislike dirty people but I'm not really a Minho fan (Sorry Juyin!).
Obv I chose Minho la lol. SME all the way ^^

Harry Potter & Me

I'm going to dedicate this post to the Boy who lived my childhood with me for the past 10 years.
I'm probably like a month late with this post because the final installment was shown last month and obviously it was a success (I watched it twice btw) but better late than never hahaha.
Ok here goes Potterheads! :D


Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)


Harry discovers he's a wizard and goes off to Hogwarts while I'm stuck in P6 trying to tackle the equivalents of O.W.Ls (HAHAHA!) - PSLE. While he and Snape don't see eye to eye, I dislike my Chinese teacher as much as he hates Snape and what I would do to land my hand on a wand and Jinx my teacher. He takes on Voldemort at the end of first year while I finish my PSLE and manage to get to a good secondary school. Btw, I thought Daniel Radcliffe was damn cute and I wanted to date him (we're the same age!). At that point in my life, British men attracted me (yes,my Westlife phase then) and hence the attraction to Mr Harry Potter. Movie lived up to the hype and I absolutely loved the movie.


Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)


Harry's 2nd year at Hogwarts where he discovers that he's a Parseltongue. Oh, and a prick head for a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher (Gilderoy Lockhart). I'm a newbie in school, Sec 1, fresh out of primary school. School was now Crescent Girls' and I had my 1st BGR relationship that year. Oh and I joined NCC this year too. ZOMG SO MANY MONUMENTAL MOMENTS OF MY LIFE! He fights Voldemort again in the form of Tom Riddle while I fight against the Snooze Monster in classes. Of course, this year was when I could survive on $30 a week, managing to go to town for movies and eat at cafes/restaurants on that allowance. I still don't know how I did that. HONESTLY. Maybe that's why I discovered once during that year that I had $40 in my bank account, the lowest I ever had. Oh, I also got caught by the DM for using my hp (Nokia 8250) in class. Many firsts for me that year too.


Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)


Harry gets a werewolf for a teacher and he was the coolest one too. Totally loved this movie (My favorite!) because of all the family-related plots. I heart the godfather-godson relationship between Harry and Sirius throughout the series because it's just damn heartwarming la. Oh, Harry fights dementors off and learns the Patronus curse (my favorite spell too!). This was the year I entered upper secondary and the year Penny Ang joined Crescent. Another turning points of my life as well because life sucked doubly then. It was hell during E/A maths and Chem classes. My favorite subject then was Geog and Bio hahaha. I think if my Chem teacher knew I went on to major in Chem she'll prob like get a shock of her life or smth.


Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)


Ahhh, Harry's 4th year at Hogwarts started off with the Qudditch World Cup and finally the Triwizard Cup where we discovered a future heart throb (Cedric Diggory anyone?). If someone told me Robert Pattinson would end up being such a bloodsucker, I wouldn't have believed him. Because I thought he was quite ugly in the movie :/ And for the record, I wasn't expecting Edward Cullen to look like him also la. I sat for O levels that year. Another turning point of my life where I decided to go off to Poly and not JC because I was totally sick of the education system then. Irony how I'm now back in local university huh >.< This movie fell below my expectations because Harry looked really bad back then. Someone sack his hairstylist pls. I can totally imagine Daniel Radcliffe looking back at the pictures from this movie and go like FML TTM hahahaha!


Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)


Harry's into his 5th year at Hogwarts and truthfully, this is the movie that I have no impression of the plot because I didn't like this book at all. It made no sense and it was all angsty (Teenage rebellion perhaps?). Only thing I remembered from this was the stupid Prophecy and even reading the book once again made no sense. But I do remember watching this at the premiere cos I was working at E2Max then and we all had tickets :D And this opened on my birthday if I'm not wrong so I only remember going to watch this but not the plot hahaha! Oh and Dolores Umbridge hahaha! I only remember her cos Mas Wilson said one of our ibus looked like her xD


Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince (2009)


Harry's now a 6th year at Hogwarts and this was the year I entered NUS. I still don't have much memory of watching this but because I've been watching this on my flight to Taiwan recently, I know Snape got the Defense Against the Dark Arts post after so many years and Harry's in the Slug club. OH AND SNAPE KILLED DUMBLEDORE TMD!! I was uber sad when I read this in the books cos J.K Rowling was like killing off people slowly le :(


Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1 (2010)


The 2nd last movie of the entire series. I remember this the most because Lirong, Hidaya, Juyin and I watched this at 9am at Cine hahahahahahaah! It was reading week and we were like nvm let's go watch this then go mug after that. We didn't mug at all but one of my most memorable HP movies EVER! All of us even made Lirong call us all in case we woke up late cos the tix were all sold out >.< The whole cinema was full also btw. Everyone as crazy as us hahahaha! I went home and reread the book once again cos I don't remember shit.


Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 (2011)


The final movie of the HP franchise. Everyone was like saying how sad it was and yet I didn't feel it. Even when watching it. I only remember from the books that Fred, Tonks and Lupin all died and the epilogue was the most epic one I've ever read. Ever. I highly recommend everyone go rewatch everything because this is our childhood man. Those growing up in the early 90s will definitely remember this. While I may not know much about all the recent remakes of childhood characters like Captain America or Thor, I can definitely tell my kids that I watched Harry Potter as a kid and totally loved it,books and movies alike (I will just give them the Twilight series' books). Hope J.K. Rowling writes another book on life after Voldemort dies hahaha! Or even better still, write about Harry and Ginny's kids! :D Maybe Voldemort had a secret illegitimate son or smth and he was trying to take over the wizarding community again hahahaha!
Oh wells, till then, thank you dear Harry for accompanying me through these 10 years.
May you, Ron, Hermione and Ginny live happily ever after.

Life in Taiwan July'11 Part 2

Right I'm already back in SG from Taiwan but still gonna blog about this haha cos I just uploaded the pics.
Oh yeah I didn't manage to go out that day from my last post.
I had to like go and accompany bf to do his Japan visa things la and we tabao-ed Coco Curry from near the place where we made the visa.
Shiok max! No pics cos too hungry already. Our 1st and only meal of the day wth.
But next day we went out la hurhur. Went to Everysing :D
It's at Taipei main station and quite small in my opinion.
But bf says the Korea one also that size so uh yeah :/
Haven't been to the Korean one but bf has cos he bought the bromides for me during Bonamana promo :D
Anw I went crazy there! I tell myself cannot buy the lifesized posters cos firstly,expensive. Secondly, no place to put at home also.
BUT CANNOT LA SO HANDSOME & PRETTY HOW TO RESIST!
When I put it up in my room, I will post a pic hahahaha!
I bought Fishy oppa's & Lyeowook's one for best friend. Ordered Yoona cos too pretty already cannot resist lol.
Bought many things for fellow SM fans like Juyin,Xuanzhi,Rachelle,Nigel & CK.
Sorry to the rest if I didn't get you anything. Pls tell me who is your bias in future,I may get it for you lol.
Bf thinks it's uber funny that girls keep swarming the tv at the store playing all the MVs.
Sheesh,non fanboys/girls. You people won't understand one lol!


Fishy and wookie oppas!


After leaving there (with alot of things btw), went to Ximending to go to the Snoopy shop & buy my Woodstock stuff :D
Managed to get alot of things until the boss gave me freebies hahaha!
Free Woodstock towel :D
Everytime we go Ximending confirm eat this without fail.
We ate like 1x there then tabao another 2 large packets back cos damn nice!


Everytime also eat this



Queuing for the chicken







He went to cut hair after we bought the Woodstock stuff at this salon called Wan Mei.
Apparantly it's the store opened by Xiaoyu from Lollipop hahaha!
Didn't know that >.< But the store is quite cool.
Every customer has their own telly to watch shows while having your haircut and the prices were quite cheap leh.
$25SGD for a haircut? I cut 1x at ION with Jaren alr $53 -.-"
Was tempted to dye my hair there but didn't have the time in the end.


Finishing his haircut


Went home to cook our Hokkien Mee.
Quite fail but still edible la lol!
No pics cos abit ashamed to show it xD
Next day bf had to entertain customers from overseas so I went out alone to Dong Qu to walk and shop and buy things like mad.
I spent easily NT9K alone in SOGO.
It's like make-up heaven. I shall post my make-up collection if I have nothing better to do lol. Keep neglecting my blog all the time so must make up for it!
Went to Kino and I bought the new Jolin & Niu Er books.
Forgot to buy Calvin's new book there. NDP eve went to Kino to see and it was SO EX TMD >.<


My best friend


Had to wait for bf to tell me where to meet for dinner then I had Starbucks and read finish my HP book on iPad.
Sian max lol but nvm. It's a bad feeling to feel so lonely overseas with no friends :(
Next day I went out alone again! To Banane Taipei this time to help Jace & Sinhui order the bags.
I ended up buying 1 myself but can only collect in Nov tho :/ Ex max but one of a kind la. SG cannot buy also.


Banane bag come to me in Nov pls!


After that went back to Ximending cos that day didn't walk much leh.
Plus I secretly spotted Nature Republic and all the korean make-up stores and couldn't go cos bf sure complain one hahaha!
Had the famous mee sua for the 1st time despite going to tw so many times!
Quite overrated. Either that or I just didn't like it la.


Ah Zhong Oyster Mee Sua





Geun Sukkie oppa is the new endorser for Nature Republic





Ga-In and Joongki oppa <3 center="">

Omg I walked into like all the korean makeup stores and came out with things la hahaha! 
Bought eyeliner at Face shop and got some KHJ freebies which I gave to Sinhui's aunt cos I don't like him. 
Top coat & base coat from Etude House cos I wanted to paint my nails in tw but the quality of their polishes quite crappy plus my nails were in bad condition, cracking like crazy! In the end this was quite a waste. 
5 bottles of nail polish remover from Nature Republic cos got 20% sale and SG sell damn expensive la! 
Nothing from Tony Moly cos their things are just expensive la lol. 
I wanted to get a Manhatten Portage bag but they were expensive and not that useful? So I gave up. Plus,plenty of bags at home. Which reminds me that I have to clear them soon! 
Went into ABC-Mart after that by accident cos wanted to look at shoes. 
There was this pair of adidas shoes that I liked but they didn't have my size when we were at Miaokou. 
Found it at ABC-Mart but decided to get this pair below cos it's also cute! Plus cheaper too xD 


New shoes~


Oh and I made a friend in the store! Hahaha yes,with the store assistant. 
Turns out we're the same age and I ended up talking alot to him so we added each other to fb. 
Haven't spoken a word to him tho ever since lol! 
Alot of taiwanese said they couldn't believe I was Singaporean cos my chinese is quite good and I didn't have an accent (I think I just adapt when overseas la. Now I talk like a typical Singaporean). 
Only my bf thinks my cheena cannot make it -.-" 
The Banane Taipei salesgirl kept asking me alot of qns abt SG and the Kanebo counter girls were like so shocked to hear I was a foreigner that they gave me an additional 10% discount xD 
Heck, there was this uber funny story of how I called EVA Air in Taipei cos I wanted to change my flight. 
Requested for English assistance cos I was sick of talking in Chinese. 
Poor fella I think FHL cos he was quite bad and it pissed me off so I started talking in Chinese after he confirmed that I was on the waiting list. 
He called me 'Passenger S-N-G'. Yes,spelt my surname out -.-" 
Yeah so after speaking in Chinese to him he was like 'wah your chinese damn good.' and started asking me about SG. 
We chit chat for like a good 20 mins lol. My bf was so amazed. 
I think we need a Uniquely SG campaign soon in Taiwan. 
Everyone thinks we cannot speak Chinese and always kena fined/caned if you do smth against the law. 
Ok,back to the post before I digress further lol. 


I like this pic cos my hair looks awesome xD


Went to meet bf at Banqiao for dinner and waited like an hour for him again :(

This time round it was bright and sunny and crowded too. 
Played all the rides and drank alot of water too lol. 
Cos all damn fast la the rides, way better than Sunway lagoon. 
Got 1 slide I didn't dare to take cos I was afraid I'd be too light and fly off la. 
It was a vertical one with no float and the gradient was like easily 45 degrees man. 
Open slide somemore, what if I fly off!? If tunnel not that bad cos the most kena bumped only but open one
