/what am i supposed to do when the best part of me was always you/

finally made some time to blog, so here's another post. :)

finally finished watching Who Are You (kdrama) yesterday and i rate it 8/10 cos it was good overall but the ending kinda sucked so yup. gosh i love the casts so much i can't even……but it was quite sad though cos i cried a few times in episode 14 and 15. :( Also, finished watching The Heirs episode 6 just now and i can't wait for episode 7 which will be released this coming thursday (sigh so long). akina have been bugging me to watch The Master's Sun but it sounds like shit so maybe no hahaha.

Anyway, school ended on the 22nd of October but the sec3s have to attend structured lessons (which means school per usual) for another week. anyway, structured lessons are ending this coming tuesday so yay. Bio SPA on monday and then Chem SPA on tuesday. Physics SPA's on wednesday and bio girls like me don't have to attend school but ms yap wants math lesson on that day so sigh we have to come back. On the side note, i'm also gonna attend the biomedical competition trainings which is taking place on the 1st/5th/6th of November. ((there goes my break))

i hope to clear my 100hours of CIP by 7 November and then look for a job after that. :/ god please let me find a job bc i'm so broke. :( 

-structured lessons take place in sec4 classes and i've been feeling so nostalgic sigh i can't believe O's is in a year's time. Time really flies, it feels like i've just entered kc as a sec 1 yesterday……..

alright, gonna let the pictures do the talking first before i start sharing something.

hey all.
have been busy catching up all my dramas lately, heh i've just finished watching sniper standoff few days go. its a tvb hong kong drama, definitely a must-watch for those who like to watch hk police/sdu/action/gun/thrilling dramas (like me) hehe. oh and if yall want to know where i watch my dramas, you may try tvbdo for hk dramas and azdrama.sx for korean dramas :-) i would rate sniper standoff 8/10, it was rly nice except for the fact that i don't like (bc hate is a strong word lol) the female lead :/ in the meantime, i'm also watching A change of heart (hk) , The heirs (korea) , and also gonna start on Who are you (korea) today •recommended by akina so i shall watch• i think i will start on Secrets (korea) soon after i'm done watching all of the dramas i've mentioned earlier on ツ
anyway, i'm gonna summarise what i did today first before going on to summarise what i did last week. ~^O^~
//141013, monday//
omg was so close to pon school today bc i was damn tired after waking up from 5 hours of sleep ︶︿︶ and no school for me on tuesday and wednesday, so i thought hey why not man hahaha but sigh i remembered ms yap just started on amath trigo so i shouldn't miss her lessons (besides, there was chemistry lessons). HARDWORKING CHERYL IS ME ヽ(^。^)ノ ......kidding.
ok so i headed to the bus stop after my breakfast and surprisingly the bus came around 10-15mins earlier than usual. so i was like thinking, "ok good since i can reach school earlier to sleep" but NO, cos i had to wait for my second bus for like, close to 20 minutes???? wtf so i reached school at like 635am and fell asleep at 640 all the way till 710am hehe. woke up and went to eat immediately after that before the teachers came in for assembly. 4 periods of math for the first lesson (sigh) and trigo graphs killed me ;( im going to fail amath sigh. i've been thinking of dropping amath, but i decided not to in the end bc i reminded myself how badly i wanted to take amath when i was sec 2, how hard i worked for my math to improve from a C grade to an A, how desperate i was to get in 305 bc my dad wanted me to be in there. and also thought of dropping bio, but no bc i still have passion for it even though i don't think i'll do well for it. :( on the side note, i have to attend math supp till 4 and bio extra lessons after that after school reopens on thursday :-( i dread lessons so much now bc i'm already in the holiday mood sigh. just looking forward to 29 oct, last day of school xxxxxx ~`O`~
so many things i want to do before 2013 ends, if im not wrong, these are the resolutions i wrote down in my notebook monthssssss ago.
1) ear piercing
ok thats all i can remember HAHAHAHHA my memory is really limited damn :-(
on the side note, i've received all my results back already :( rly disappointing results but what to do, gonna suck it up. as what 符老师 always say, "这个是咎由自取的，怪不得人" :-( oh wells. besides that, i'm quite satisfied with my english and emath results because i expected myself to get lower for both subjects. geog results were really disappointing bc i was aiming for at least a B3 sigh.

alright, time for the pictures to take over. {7 october-15 october}

i'm definitely not someone who can express my feelings through words bc im such an awkward turtle sometimes :( well although my mum insists that i'm mean towards her and i'm always (24/7) pms-ing and rude, but i still love her sm. she said my fried rice was yummy lol i highly doubt that bc i can't cook for nuts. 

after making bfast and lunch for mum, i stayed home till around 2-3pm and went to meet rachel at plaza sing to chill. bought my gongcha and started walking around to shop, and bumped into my brother and his friend haiqal coincidentally. also, trenna afterwards at starbucks and then kaylee (?) at lowry's farm. no idea why there were so many people at plaza sing that day. :/

short meet up with rachel bc i left at around 5/6pm-ish and met up with my cousin for dinner and somewhat, her birthday celebration. her birthday was at 5 oct and we had plans on that day to celebrate together, but in the end her brother brought her and the entire fam to uss to play. sigh, so i met up with her for dinner that day empty-handed w no presents bc i only remembered an hour before i met up with her :( [ugh my stm] i think i owe like 10000000000 friends for their presents already. went to swensen's for dinner with her and ordered my 2nd usual, grilled salmon hehe. changed the side orders to fries as per normal and ordered da best chicken tenders hehe. mum ordered steak and cousin ordered baked rice. not only that, got a $10 swensen's voucher after paying the bill so yay.

walked around plaza sing after dinner, so we went shopping hehe. bought my new blue Havaianas (at $39.90) bc my mum wanted to buy black which was the exact same pair i had, so i told her she could take mine and i chose blue (heheh) 

also, managed to find some vintage shops and new fav shops around plaza sing so i'm pretty sure i will end up at there again soon.

rock climbing with kctennis for cca hehe and it was the last training session until training resumes in 2014. whoohoo. rock climbing was rly fun hehe although i'm scared of it bc i have a phobia of heights :( i was hesitating so badly before i mustered up my courage and gave it a try for the first round. managed to climb a total of 3 times before we went for bouldering so 3 cheers for myself. :-)))))))

the coaches were our belayers for that day and i felt really lucky bc they were so nice. my favs were zyrus (? the one on the extreme right) and jiahui (the only one standing) hehe. i don't know how his name is spelt and other coaches were calling him zy-rus so i assumed it was that spelling. i shall just call him Z anyway. so Z was really nice bc he was really patient HAHA god bc no one dared to volunteer themselves for the "harder-to-climb" walls. he waited for us for like 20 mins EACH TIME he asked and lol the teachers were getting irritated and also the other coaches, but he wasn't even irritated man he just waited there with a smile on his face HAHAHA. also, he's 100% trustable for belaying bc i think he's the only coach who encourages the person climbing, while the other coaches doesn't even say anything. Jiahui was in-charge of bouldering, and my group was the last to go for it so we went to the second floor for bouldering. we learnt some basics and due to time constraints, we had to rush quickly and the others joined us about 20 mins after we went up, so we played a few games before we left that place. and if you are wondering which organisation we went to, it's ClimbAsia. =)

overall, it was a really good experience and i enjoyed myself that day.

went to bugis for shopping with this girl today hehe so here's a picture of us at the highest floor of bugis+ (previously iluma) bc she claimed that this was the most ulu place in the building. so we sat on the ground and started taking pics (ya our purpose of going there) bc this girl wanted to take a pic of her ootd hahaha. went to berrylite for some snacks and we chilled till around 515pm before we left. she left for town to meet her senior while i headed to changi city point to meet my mum and bro for dinner. 

nydc's definitely one of my fav restaurants in singapore hehe. but they changed their menu recently so i couldn't get my usuals :( the sandwich which i ordered was really filling even though it looks small. there was a huge chunk of pork slices w barbecue sauce and coleslaw and some veg at the bottom. the bread was buttery so i ate 3/4 of it :( finished rachel's leftover fries and called for bill, we bombed $18.50 each all together so ya..................and we didn't even order any drinks or side orders. personally, i thought the price was okay but somewhat slightly unreasonable when i think about it.

been a supa long time since i went to bugis street, so i was kinda excited to go there to get some clothes for myself. got the flower-daisy-ish romper at $29.90 from the third level. idk, i have this thing for rompers/dresses recently and now i think I'm kinda weird lol is my taste changing??? idk. :/ got the dark blue coloured dress at $28 from the second level. they also have it in light blue but rachel said dark blue suits me more so i got it hehe. got the VANS tanktop at only $10 from the first level. wanted to buy more stuffs at Bugis+ after berrylite but then rachel was rushing for time :( if not, i would have bought like 3 more apparels seriously hahaha (spendthrift mode on)

went to changi city point after meeting rachel today, so we (my fam) headed to singtel after dinner to get my phone line switched over from M1 bc its cheaper. also, my 2 year contract was up so i could get  a new phone, but i didn't want to change my phone (SURPRISINGLY bc i'm always changing my phone in like 6 months). Galaxy Note 3 was recently launched so mummy decided to get that and then we sold it for $860 (i posted it online when my mum was at Singtel and this person wanted so yay deal within 4 hours)! my mum asked whether i wanted the money from the deal but i said nah, i rather take that money to invest in a new camera instead.

Since we were at changi city point, which is also located beside expo mrt, we went to expo for the last day of IT fair to look for cameras. thank god for the last day of IT fair lol bc idk when's the next. :/

walked around IT fair thinking of what to get and then i was so attracted by the new camera Olympus Ep-5 damn. it's so vintage-looking and similarly, i was looking for that kind of camera. :( it was rly pretty and the camera quality was one of the best among those i tried, i wanted it so badly god but it was so pricey zzz it was retailing at $1799. :'( (ok cries a thousand rivers) sigh, the size is perf too and everything's just perf but my mum said no bc it was so ex (more expensive than a dslr) :( 

damn sad, but baby don't worry i'll be coming back for you probably in a month's or a year's time. :(

in the end, we bought a new canon dslr although i preferred the olympus one. bc it was cheaper + we got a lot of free things so it was super worth it. we were intending to send our canon 500d for repair tomorrow afternoon but the canon guy told us it was gonna cost at least $400-$500 plus that's a super old model (even though it got released 2 years ago) so my mum wanted to replace my current one. nevertheless, i'm still gonna cherish this dslr really well hehe. btw, its touch-screen so definitely better than my current one.

my dad got me the first dslr at around $1300 for JUST the camera itself so this was way cheaper than the first one. the rest (apart from the camera itself) were al free hehe and i asked for a tripod stand so they also gave me a free one. the free stuffs included:

- 8 GB memory card

- 16 GB memory card

- Extra Battery pack

- Tripod Stand

- Camera Bag

- Cleaning kit

my mum and i felt that it was supa worth it and so we got it.

:-)

alright, done with my summary! gonna blog again soon i guess.

preparing mummy's bfast tmrw since i don't have school tmrw and then staying at home till 4 and accompanying mum to people's park to book our trip to tokyo in december!

till then xoxo

 in need of a getaway // picture above taken enroute to switzerland //

forgot how long this was taken bc i haven't been going to the gym for running for maybe a month (?) ugh screwed my routine ever since exams started :-( now i feel out of shape (?idek?) and stamina probably  plunged down a lot, and of course, fats are back again :( i honestly prefer running outdoors though, running on the treadmill is really a dread sometimes bc it feels like you're getting nowhere no matter how far you run.......there's no sense of accomplishment or whatever, until you realise that you have ran 5km :[ oh and so, i went running with my mom on a sunday morning months ago at the park connector in simei, it felt like i've ran only 1km bc the road seems pretty short............but in the end, i ran about 3.65km so i guess its quite an accomplishment. :-) and yknow, people always say that running will release feel-good hormones or endorphins (?) or whatever you call it, "happy hormones", but i think the happiness you get isn't because of running, but the happiness you get when you've finally reached your goal for running a certain distance :/ i miss gyming so much, needa get back on my feet again soon!

//dinner at Marche's with Jiaying weeks ago//

my first time dining at marche's and i think it was okay, i won't mind going back there again to try out their rosti (which had a supa long queue for it). the food there was quite pricey so i didn't really know what to get bc i was feeling full that night :/ ordered 2 chicken wings eventually but the uncle was so nice he gave me 3 instead (yup he charged me the price for 2) so yay thank u :-) didn't thank him bc i couldn't hear what he was saying and jiaying told me after i left the counter :/ i was kinda suspicious of him though, bc good people doesn't seem to exist nowadays HAHAHA (see, this is what you get for being too nice sometimes im sorry)

wearing my dino shorts the following friday after school! super cute hehe i haven't worn the pullover yet bc the weather have never gave me the chance to :-( i wonder how badly would people judge me if i wore the whole set out...................

trying out my ipod nano the next day hehe when i was on the way to the temple :-)

oh and i guess i haven't mentioned before, i love bruno mars! well i liked him ever since i fell in love with When I Was Your Man, idk but i just love that song so much it have been one of my favs. :)

just trying to be a photographer while walking home HAHAHA kidding, i got bored cos the road seemed so long and far away :-(

received my class tee not long ago :] but they changed the tee for 2014 instead of 2013 :( sigh which means the same class tee for both years :( its in ash grey colour btw *~*

 egglets bought back from my mum after she brought my sis out today hehe
