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! ;)

Sushi Galore

Japanese cuisine is one of my favourite and it'll always be. I love sushi(s)!

A plate of Sashimi costs only $1.50!!!!! :O

Raspberry Cheesecake at $1.50 too!! :)

Living up to ideals

I've been working PT on most of my weekends for the past 5-6 years and for awhile, it feels weird to wake up with nothing to do at home on a Saturday morning. I need to get used to 5 working days week! :/

Moments of 2012

Wow, it's the last Sunday of 2012 and another great year is coming to an end. This year was nothing short of amazing and I'm thankful for every single thing I'm blessed with and for over the months :)

Like last year, I looked through entries of this journey and decided to pen my favourite moments through the year. Something that happened months ago just feels like yesterday! Growing up too quickly!

January - May - Jan to May's just some.. nothing very interesting moments of the life except I remembering chionging overnight in school with my teammates for AA and whatnots haha. Other than that, it's just snippets of new food places I've explored!

Drips with boyf, and my hair, so long!

My favourite ice-cream parlour!! Tom's Palette :)

Ardent with girlfriends after Year 3 papers!

I remembered I spent most of my time and weekends working away, saving for Tioman and exchange hehe

June - Tioman - 3 days at Paya Resort, a beach getaway without much connection with the world. Perfect chillax place. We did snorkeling too!! :)

You're my star :')

July/August - Then came late June, I left Singapore for Korea for 8 weeks. Studying in Yonsei University is definitely a cool and unforgettable experience, not forgetting that our school looks and feels like Hogwarts haha. The daily mountain climbing to our classroom...... & our apartment, we lived so near dongdaemon I missed there!! :(

At the airport

Gyeongbokgung Palace

Petite France

Haeundae beach at Busan 

Road Trip at Jeju

This short experience has take up so much of my hard earned money but still, I wouldn't have trade it for anything else! :) 

“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.”

Really couldn't have asked for anything else better than all these :')
Can't wait for the upcoming year in less than 4 hours time. A new year to start of real working adulthood.
May you also have the best end to this year have a great start for the next!

Till then.. :) Have a happy new year!

Merry Christmas

X'mas this year is definitely a quiet affair. I only had a few pre mini celebration here and there to commemorate this day. And right now, I'm spending this special day nursing a fever of 38.9 degrees, dripping water nose and sore throat :(

 

Dinner last Friday with my dearest girlfriends - Backyard @ Dempsey. The location of the restaurant really lives up to the name, Backyard. We had such a hard time finding it! The food was surprisingly very affordable, like my Cajun chicken at $13 I think? We spent the rest of night with some gift exchanges and photo-taking. My Santa gave me a perfect gift - a HH blazer which I really wanted for work! :D

OOTD - Just fooling around :p

Beautiful fruits and chocolate tarts on top of the logcake bought by my aunt. So yummy!!

J&I spent Xmas eve watching CZ12, really good movie :) After which, at about 10pm, we decided to head for some desserts to "countdown" haha. I wondered if this is the thing that causes my illness! :/

It's called Strawberry Heaven! really in heaven whooopz

Merry 7th Xmas and more to come, love you always xx

Here's wishing you all the joys of the season :)
