A moment.

Hello there! Went out to bugis today in hope of being able to finally find a good pair of shoes that can last me for at least a year as school shoes. The pair that I bought at H&M for $17.90 is giving way soon. The sole is wearing very thin.

Woke up at 820 this morning and finally watched the final for Chinese Idol. Pretty much guessed Li Xiangxiang would win it. Whether it has already been decided internally or not, oh well at least he does fit the title though he may not have the best vocals, visuals or other talents like dancing. I honestly thought that Ivy could win the competition but then when I saw the 8 to top 6 episode I pretty much had a feeling that Li Xiangxiang would get first in this competition. Watched it initially for Huang Xiaoming cause I liked to see his interaction with the other fellow judges but then I slowly got to like a few contestants. They were mainly Xu Minging (but she unfortunately got cut out during the 8 to 6), James (thought he could get into top 4) and Ivy. As usual, whenever watching such singing competitions, I get to know more nice chinese songs. But this program was slightly different from other singing programs, it makes you develop feelings for the contestants unknowingly even if you like them or not. I honestly teared at almost every singer that left the stage from the top 20 onwards (unless that singer really doesn't appeal to me).



Photo taken while I was watching the show and snapchatting Shiying! Caption was "Fringe so short it becomes bangs."


Had The Soup Spoon with Shiying! Was her virgin soup spoon experience so she didn't know what to order and so she told me to order for her. She ended up eating the same thing as me. Tangy Tomato with Basil, half a bowl of Caesar Salad and Ice Lemon Tea!

And so we walked to and fro from Bugis Junction to Bugis Plus back to Bugis Junction then to Bugis Plus yada yada all in all about 3 to 4 times. Looking at all the clothes and shoes. The Vans at Bugis was a disappointment. The smallest shoe size that they had for the design I wanted was a US MEN'S NINE. That would approximately be a US Women's 10.5..? And my feet is actually precisely 5. I can wear a US 5.5, but my sneakers are UK 4 (think if I'm not wrong that converts to a US 6). And it was already 5 soon. But we still decided to make a fast trip to Vivo to hopefully find a pair of Vans.

 
On the way from Outram to Habourfront. The train was rather empty so I sat at the reserved seat. Being the usual Shiying, she never dares to sit at the reserved seat (haiyo those who need it then give up the seat to them also lai de ji right). Then she was like "I must take a photo of you sitting on the reserved seat. Me giving a (hopefully) cheeky face.
 
You have no idea how annoying those sales assistants were at the Vivo outlet were. Okay, I understand you were trying to be approachable, outgoing, friendly, erm... being "mischievous" so that we would find you nice and likely buy your products but I honestly think it was too overboard. Totally rolled my eyes at their attempt trying to impress us with their lameness/outgoing-ness/seemed more like uncultured-ness. HAHAHAH. Sorry really couldn't help it. Even Shiying the kind couldn't stand them too.
 
Was however happy that I finally got a pair of Vans. They call the colour Fig/Marshmellow. I say who cares, it's maroon, period.

Dreaming.

Good afternoon people! So I promised you a post after my exams! Well my exams ended last Wednesday already but was still rather busy with life. Okay... other than catching up with my drama, I had to go down to school to set up the tables for exams refreshments. Went to vivo to get ingredients for my bake and some stuffs that mummy asked me to buy and look who I saw! Quick snap with Leonard-dy. :)






Yep, baked that on a Saturday late morning. Finally got the timing right!! The middle oozes out like WOOOOO. But I think I added a little too much butter. But it's still a legit molten chocolate lava cake; not a solid chocolate cake. Next challenge: either earl grey tea cake or chocolate root beer cake.

Was really really happy that I could finally go for YF bringing a free soul. Did not have to worry about undone projects or unfinished revision. Love this feeling. Having my first academic holidays whereby I've got zero school work. And it's so long some more! Starting from tomorrow, I've got 7 weeks. That's like 2 months minus 1 week only!

Woke up really late this morning cause I set my alarm wrongly. So when my mum finally suddenly woke me up I was like in a super dazed condition. Since I was sort of late I just told my whole family to go church first, I go church on mmy own when I'm done dressing up and eating my breakie. But papa still came back home and fetched me to church in the end. I guess I have to admit that I'm a lil' more a daddy's girl huh.

Ever since.

Hello there. It's been more than a month since I last updated my blog. Wow. The longest gap ever since sec 4..? Probably. Have been really busy with all my projects and homework. Even if I had the time to sit down and use the computer, you would have probably guessed that I've spent it on drama instead of updating my blog. Hehehe.

Warning: CONTENTS FOR THE FOLLOWING FEW LENGTHY PARAGRAPHS ARE ACCOUNTS OF MY DREAMS WHICH ARE AS USUAL, WEIRD AND ILLOGICAL. IF IT IRRITATES YOU, CEASE TO READ AND CONTACT YOUR NEAREST PSYCHOLOGIST. IF NOT, SKIP THE NEXT FEW PARAGRAPHS AND GO TO THE END OF THE ENTRY.

Crashed my bed at 1 but I couldn't and was rolling on the bed. Then somehow I dozed off. Woke up to somewhat a nightmare at around 3 I guess. Dreamt that I was along the paths of West Coast Plaza. It was 1 am + and there weren't any public transport available anymore. Had to walk home while hoping I could catch a cab while walking home. Then suddenly there was this uncle that I walked past, I somehow caught his glimpse at my wallet. Saw that he was widening his steps and I was getting cautious. Then I started running suddenly and he started chasing me. But, I was with my luggage and bag pack. So heavy. So burden. Ran so slowly. Then when I realised I couldn't make it in time home (any idea how far wcp is from my house by foot...) I woke up suddenly with my heart pumping so hard. It took me quite awhile to go back to sleep due to recovering from shock.

Then not long after I had a good dream but it was as usual, ruined by my dad waking me up. Dreamt that I was at SMTown concert. And apparently I was a part of SMTown. The concept of the concert was that artist would sit amongst the crowd and when it's time for them to perform, the MC would announce our names and we would jump up from our seats, proceed to the stage and perform. Then my name was called with other artist from SMTown too. LOLOL. It's been quite a gap between the dream and I. Can't remember who was called together with me. I don't know why but perform Again and Again. AND THE MOST WHAT-IN-THE-WORLD-PART WAS WHERE KANG GARY WAS DANCING BESIDE ME TOO. BAHAHAHA. Like Kang Gary is not even a part of SMTown. Then when the concert finally ended, all the SMTown artists were nuaing at the seats. So I took my swimming board and got Donghae to sign for me! (apparently all the other artists had those too. Maybe instead of the towels we had swimming boards. I KNOW MY DREAM IS ILLOGICAL AND WEIRD. BUT SHUSH AND CONTINUE READING IF YOU WANNA KNOW MORE.) Exactly the same board in the picture that I've found for you guys, just that the pink part was blue and the blue part was yellow.


But then cause Donghae signed so big that his autograph took up the whole board, I got my green file and asked Eunhyuk and Ryeowook. (I just suddenly happened to have a green file on the other hand) Used basic Korean & English to communicate! Then I took the green file to Luna then Victoria. Somehow, Luna was from China in my dream, she understood and spoke perfect Chinese while conversing with her. And she was so nice! Remembered myself calling Victoria "Song Qian Jie Jie"! HAHAHA. Then my dad came in my room and woke me up. Sighhh.

This week's revision week for the whole school yet my course has 1 written exam and 2 presentations to do. What revision... Exam's on the 19th and 21st. Promise to update after exams!

Having FOM written test today. FOM come at me. Rawr. JK. Not prepared yet.
May the mind of Christ my Savior
Live in me from day to day,
By His love and pow’r controlling
All I do and say.

May the Word of Christ dwell richly
In my heart from hour to hour,
So that all may see I triumph
Only through His pow’r.

May the peace of Christ my Savior
Rule my life in every thing,
That I may be calm to comfort
Sick and sorrowing.

May the love of Jesus fill me,
As the waters fill the sea;
Him exalting, self abasing,
This is victory.

May I run the race before me,
Strong and brave to face the foe,
Looking only unto Jesus
As I onward go.

May His beauty rest upon me
As I seek the lost to win,
And may they forget the channel,
Seeing only Him.
