eat rainbow

I think I might have gotten addicted to fruits in the late recent. I finished a box of cherry tomatoes, a box of strawberries and 4 apples in 2.5 days. Plus I cleared some carrots and celery for this cup of ACC juice!
yums, happy mid-week!

what I eat, from where I sit, new buy

"The thing about being an adult that no one tells you growing up is that you don't feel like an adult. All your stupid insecurities and anxieties are still there, only you feel more stupid and insecure about being stupid and insecure because you're not supposed be stupid and insecure anymore. You're supposed have the answers. You're supposed to know. But we don't always know. And those answers? They're not always easy to come by. Well you know what? I'm done feeling stupid and insecure about feeling stupid and insecure. The truth is, I think part of being an adult is that you stop waiting for yourself to change and you start to accept who you are."

- Emily Owens

2 days ago, I began looking for new drama series since most of the shows I'm watching has either ended or waiting for new episodes to be released. I came across Emily Owens M.D and boy I love it. Took me merely 2 days to finish 7 episodes, I watched it during my train rides to and fro work, during lunch breaks haha. And now I have to wait for new episodes to be out weekly -_- that aside, I think I really do love her character and personality! Can't wait for the next episode.

It's Sunday again! Hope all's well for the new week! ;)

Wake up weʼre next to the river

Cafe Cartel x Skyfall

 

 

Life is good with a great dinner and movie on a weekday! :)

Starbucks x Vanilla Latte

Saturday afternoon with coffee & read :)

Carpenter & Cook x lovely people

We could easily find better pastries/cakes somewhere else! I wanted to try lemon tart but they ran oos when we were there >.<

Feels like a Sunday today! Happy Deepavali :)

Be kind to yourself

After some time, or rather a long time, I decide to diagnose myself with final year/semester syndrome after seeing signals of some repetitive symptoms on myself lol. Our lives seems to be moving at a frightening pace. When I think back or see something, it's either months or years ago....and in less than 2 months time, I'll officially be a graduate.

It was something I used to be looking forward to, but it seems otherwise now :/ I'm.. starting to appreciate my free and easy schedule for the past 23 years but I guess it's time to slowly put all these behind, start typing and mass send my resumes and get ready for the next game. In other words, building a new future :)

It's interesting to read and learn about others and take time to realize about ourselves. We usually don't sit close and listen to our heart but let each precious day and moments past. So in late recent, here's what I found myself liking or wanting to do:

1. Have a cuppa of coffee with favourite book/magazine
Sometimes when I am free, I'll head to my favourite coffee cafe, get a cup of my favourite coffee and pick up magazines to read but I guess with more work and school these days, it's just coffee and textbooks haha.

2. Cook - I drooled seeing striking salads on some blogs and went to the supermarket to get groceries to make grilled salmon salad hehe tastes so good! And with figs, which feels like softer and sweeter version of dragon food. I want to be eating more healthily!

3. Relax
I haven't really had the time to. I've either been working or tuition-ing too much. But I won't complain since I had 2 staycations at Robertson Quay and MBS recently! :) But when I have the time, I watch shows and to be honest, I have been watching quite abit. The new normal and new girl are definitely my new favorites on top of the last season on himym

4. Exercise
I don't deny! It's just something that makes you feel good. I enjoy running, I try to do it once a week and get some fresh air! It just makes me feel better and happier :) especially when you have a bad day... (or carbo overloaded day hahaha) but secretly, I still hope I can do yoga in the future. I really love Tara Stiles!

5. Switch off
Completely. I guess this is the hardest hardest for me.. I can't leave without my phone! :/ It's something I want to try doing

6. Shopping
This came across my mind because receiving parcels from mailbox is one of the happiest things to do! Wearing is also another. Girls are always girls. Window shopping makes me happy too! :D

7. Travel
Who doesn't love? It gives an opportunity for us to be disconnected from our regular life, increases our knowledge and perspective and more importantly, create memories! I'm looking to what's coming in 90 days yahoo!

8. Eat
Some food just makes your day. I have a love relationship with food and chocolates. I like to snack in between days hahah. I want to do it moderately!

9. Sleep
Something I am deeply deprived of. I sleep pretty late and little and I think it is caused by this weird system in my body call the automation! Okay, late is cause by myself though, I'll try to sleep in earlier!

There's quite a handful of my self-conscious now so let's hope I follow my own advice to be a better person xx

Happy Sunday! :)

p/s: typing this at work in a sleepy mode.

And of late

• Finally tried the latest Salted Caramel Mocha at Starbucks
• Finished Fifty shades of grey, can't wait to start on the next 2
• Watching my new finds: Call the midwife and The new normal while waiting for new seasons of HIMYM, GG, the lying game and the walking dead :/ Personally like both.. Call the midwife is something different from what I usually watch, a series set in East London in 1950s, pretty terrific and interesting! and well, the new normal, comedy series as usual :p
• Dying with statistics
• Nine chapters of Performance Management and Compensation to deal with in 5 days for my first mid-term.
• 2 more working days for the week!

Wish me good luck till then xx

Faith is believing.

Weekday dinner after a brain-draining battle with PS and stats in school with the bf :)
A few snapshots at Tom n Toms coffee in Tahjong Pagar, not much variety I would say. Got myself a Chocolate chip muffin, quite mehh. But they do serve pretzel and bread like in Korea! The day ended with an hour long foot massage treat by the bf, just so I needed it! ^^

in this comfortable vintage top I got from flea, you wouldn't believe it's XL in size haha

 Tried Sumo Salad for the first time and I like it! Not v filling for my huge appetite so you see me grabbing snacks after that :/

Now, I am thinking if I should head to the nearest Starbucks to get some work done hmmm..

I like coffee

it makes me happy in the small way that things you like can lift you.

<3 div="div">

i've been busy...

busy working I think haha

so drained right now. gonna say hi to bed!

in exactly one more month! *ahhhh* :D

Movie: zoo/vow

today at work I caught 2 movies which I didn't had the chance to watch in the theatre. the first one was funny and heart warming, where a single dad bought a zoo to start a new family life all over again. it somehow feels good to live in the carefree zoo. the second one was earnest and touching romantic!! "No matter what challenges that keeps us apart, we'll always find a way back to each other." really love this movie, made real love seems possible :)

If I had my life to live over

So the reason why I have been staying over in school is because of this... Laptops and LAN cables for sales haha. AA is finally over. The past few days has been spent running and waiting for load tests in the middle of the night, reaching home at 7-8am, and up at 10-11am to school again. Very damaging to the body I know.

right before and after the presentation

my tired soul perks up when I received a postcard from Rome! Thank you Kay :D some friends in school are really lovely. Thank god for 3G, whatsapp I get to talk to my long distance friends all around the world frequently (:

Dinner at Waterloo (again!) with Vivian and some ice-cream fix at Tom Palette's yesterday evening after class. Totally need some of this. Ice-cream never fails to amaze me

OTD: Megagamie's Asymmetrical Boyfriend blouse in sky

and today, I slept for 10 hours since Sunday. Feels so good, except I'm feeling a little sore here and there haha. Made some hearty breakfast. Sometimes, food don't have to be too good nor expensive to make you happy. At least that's what I feel.

Yesterday in class, Prof mentioned something about "If I had my life to live over", we should (make more mistakes, relax, limber up, take fewer things seriously, take more trips, climb more mountain and swim more river, eat ice-cream instead of beans....) 

Every time I hear something like this, it makes me think a lot, I guess there are really some things we can go out of our way to do it. We live life once, no point fretting over things that makes your life miserable or are no longer in your life. This week I see, know and learnt so much. Thank You.

So nexttttt, making my decision about summer exchange. hehe.

Miss the boyf and girlfriends so much.

after typing this long entry, I'm feeling sleepy again zzZz.
