Wander

Walked around Chinatown today

Main motive was to apply Australia visa. After the 5 minutes process was over I went to fill my belly. Chinatown is unbelievable crowded on a weekend. Granted, its a weekend. But the amount of people that poured out of the MRT when I alighted was just scary.  Plus its not just oldies which you would expect at Chinatown. Saw plenty of young people. Goodness knows what they were dong there

After food I started walking. Walked around the overly beautified streets and saw only shops selling tacky souvenirs and more tacky souvenirs. I was pretty amused by the stuffs I saw. Was spamming with my Sardina. Cant really wait till I finally get my lousy ass and go develop all the films. Oh and I saw the Lomography Shop! Oh my god all the different version of La Sardina. Especially the recent beach series SO MAD PRETTY can't stand it! And saw the ginomous version of La Sardina, which is also my version. hehh. So amazed at all the fine details. Exactly the same down to the last screw.

Went into Ang Siang Hill just because I saw a pretty blue building up the hill. hahaa. But saw a couple of unique cafes and bar up the hill. Going to go try them out when I have the money. Saw a pizzarie and a oyster bar. Looks so good I was so tempted to go eat. Sigh. Money have to start dropping from the sky already

Then wandered to some random mall which was super empty. But the shops it carries was amazing. A couple of anime figure shops which houses rather a lot of cool figures. but then again its very common la. hahaa. And this vintage shop which sells really vintage stuffs. From old barbies from the 1900s, 1956 1978 etc to really old handbags. The vintage handbags were, very special. Amazed at how the people from that era manages to carry such handbags.

Something like this but I saw a even more outrageous one. Transparent, glass looking rectangular box. Wouldn't call it a bag. But amazing. yeah. hahaa. And also passed by a book sale selling books from the last era I think. Saw books like Windows NT4 for Dummies

I was like, er, Windows NT4? Who the heck uses that anymore? I wiki it and the system was launched in 1996. Thats like, er, more than a decade ago? hahaha. Laughed in amazement and disbelieve over the attempt sale of such books. goodness

And walked around in one of least beautified Cold Storage ever. Usually Cold Storage stores comes with tile floor and bright lightning and blah. This one that I saw, I would believe you if you said it was some random family operated store. The modest cement floor and all the plain price tags and stuffs. Think I have been in the city for too long, too used to the bright and advanced supermarkets. This one was special. It even had a popular store within. Granted its small but, its so out of place. One small corner with 3 shelves filled with cookbooks and children books? Random. Totally random.

Pretty much lost interest in continuing wandering cause I ran out of film. Can't take down things i find interesting or fun or worth it. Meh. But will go back one day and finish exploring that area. Quite a good start for my Island Tour. :D

Going to develop all 6(?) rolls of film on Monday before I fly. So as to clear. Hopefully they turn out nice. Can't wait. :D

Antoinette

Met up with the szbs on Monday

Went to Antoinette cause JY wanted to. went on a huge detour round lavender before we got the correct direction

Food was pretty good. Amounted to around 17 each. given that the drinks we ordered wasnt served. which was a good mistake cause the water provided was pretty much all that we needed.

I took alot of pictures featuring qx. and i distantly remembering her asking me not to upload it cause she thinks she looks disgusting. But I love such erm, unglam shots? So...

Food!

 Smoked Salmon with scrambled eggs

This was good! I like the scrambled. and the thick toast. and the salad. and especially the smoked salmon. though it was a tad salty. but its nice. hehh.

been having a weird liking for vegetables nowadays. gobbled up the salad. which was just lightly seasoned with salt I think? but it taste good. so into my stomach it goes

Strawberry Pancakes

which was awesome. if I ever go back it will be because of this. from the fluffy pancakes to the cream to the strawberry sauce to the strawbie itself. Stab bits of everything and stuff inside mouth.

 Bliss

The last bite of awesomeness :D

Peach Crepe. I think

This was awful. too bloody sweet. from the preserved peach to the sauce and the ice cream. they should have washed the peaches in water before serving it. so hard to eat it with wincing in agony over the extreme sweetness. The icecream was nice initially. but a few more mouthful and its too sweet to continue. 

but qx says its nice. hahaa she finished this up herself

Just as we were about to leave this pair of cutest girls ever went to the door too. they were so cute and pretty. looks like mixed-blooded. but awfully adorable. And when one saw us taking photos of us she started giving us huge smiles. awww 

but I really like their decor though. Classy and different from the usuals. 

guess what she is doing bwahahaa

After all the food we went Haji Lane. Not much stuffs there. Mostly shops selling unique items that are super expensive. out of my range la hahaa poor girl ttm.

But I took some photos! Didnt bother to edit any though. too lazy too hahaaa ops

Blogshopy shot. no?

After Haji we went J.CO to rot. and to rest. All of us were pretty darn tired. I think it was the sun. 

Showing off their buys from Haji

And both ignoring me :(

camwhoring in Pull & Bear while waiting for qx

Was awesome seeing them again after a million years. Now we just have to wait for chels to come back. I have not seen her ever since her concert. Which is like a million years ago. 

4 more days till Melbourne! I have yet to apply for visa. nor change money. nor pack. screwed? 

Going to bring all my cammys over. My beloved Sardina and Bulky (a last min name for the DSLR). Delegated the important task of bring the instax to P since she wont have to carry so much. I cant wait i cant wait i cant wait! 8pm flight on the 12th and will touch down at Melbourne 5am. The travel to Lynnie's house and dump luggage. Then it will be a full 9 days of crazy shopping and eating and sightseeing and everything. 

CAN'T WAIT! :D

Because you create your own happiness

I dislike people who whine and groan and complain about how upsetting their life is. regardless of what ever that has happened to you, you created the scenario somehow or another. A past decision or thought or something lead to you doing something that leads to what ever is happening today. If its over, its over. end of story. what we can do is go forward from that point and learn from what ever that has happened. Life goes on, and we cannot be stagnant at a single point just simply because we cannot get over what our decision has lead to. Its one thing to be sad about something, to regret that moment, and another to altogether allow ourselves to sink in that single incident and never recover. eventually you will have to forgive yourself, because that is the single first step to recovery. if you cannot forgive yourself regardless of what everyone else does it will be useless. after forgiving oneself can we then start to heal and let what ever that has happened become a memory,   one that is worth keeping.

Because we do hold the key that unlocks the door to our own tomorrow.

Going Melbourne!

I am so excited about this trip

Taking a night flight with P and will reach Melbourne in the morning. just right for a good breakfast before going to find lynnie. Then going to spent a awesome 8 days there shopping eating taking awesome photos and most importantly spending time with p and hopefully lynn too since she will be having her exams and will be out studying.

Boy just the itinerary we have planned makes me wants to fly over now. Going to major flea markets, searching for local cafes and the usual touristy places. I am tortured by how much I should change. Dont want to spent too much case I buy rubbish which I wont wear but worried that I would have insufficient to spent. sigh pie.

Okay shall worry about that again. Really cant wait to see lynn again. And stay at her place! Hehh. and all those glorious food! and scenery! going to take loads of photos :D


Went to sell stuffs at the Scape Flea last Sunday with course people. Was super worried that I wont be able to sell off much due to the previous disastrous flea experience so I only took one bag of stuffs to sell. But I sold off loads. BWAHAHAAA. I was so happy. earned like 40plus bucks? and that was after paying rental and food. and got rid of most of the stuffs I thought nobody would want. was on a major clearance mood and gave huge discounts. hahaa I can never be a entrepreneur. would lose money like crazy. But most of the stuffs were either freebies or used beyond any available depreciation value. so I made money and lost money? kehee

but I got another larger bag of stuffs to get rid of. Cant wait for my next flea :D



Having vacation now. so bored everyday but I got tons of stuffs that i wanted to do. I want to travel around Singapore, take pictures and find good places for food. And get to know this place I call home. But been too lazy to get my ass out of the house. Sigh. and want to earn more money. and exercise to slim down too. gosh need to learn to be less lazy and not procrastinate.

• learn Korean
• tour Singapore
• sell off the big bag of junk
• start exercising
• get job and earn money!
• learn to not procrastinate? 

okay huge list of things. need to move it move it! 

Once Upon A December

Dancing bears, Painted wings

Things I almost remember

And a song someone sings 

Once upon a December

Someone holds me safe and warm

Horses prance through a silver storm

Figures dancing gracefully

Across my memory

Far away, long ago

Glowing dim as an ember,

Things my heart used to know,

Once upon a December

Someone holds me safe and warm

Horses prance through a silver storm

Figures dancing gracefully

Across my memory

Far away, long ago

Glowing dim as an ember,

Things my heart used to know,

Things it yearns to remember

And the song, someone sings

Once upon a December
