Pine Teen.: 53: There's a limit to everything

Hey people~ Time to update my life!

Chinese New Year

I know this is damn late, like I shouldn't even be saying this right now but who cares. I STILL WANNA SAY IT. And that is, 新年快乐!!! Don't really know much about the chinese phrases because I suck. (Yeah, I just admitted that I suck) Anyway, the only thing I enjoyed is eating steamboat everyday for dinner. I am not being sarcastic. I LOVE STEAMBOATS. I have no idea why but I just love it so much. It feels like CNY when I'm eating steamboat so I don't eat it on other normal days.

Didn't really enjoyed this year's CNY simply because there were some conflict going on in my family which I won't be elaborating on. Pisses me off every time I think about it. Bad things aside, my first day of CNY wasn't that splendid. Some relatives came to my house, because my grandma is staying in my house and all my aunts will come and visit her. I am happy because I get lots of red packets. $_$ Did a little catch up with my cousin. It seems like years since we last talked to each other because the last time ended with a fight. Childish days. Anyway, I'm glad we are on talking terms right now even though it's still a little awkward. Well... I'm always awkward.

Second day was busy! Went to my boss' house with my sister to have steamboat and played cards. My luck is shit. Din't manage to win any money but I'm lucky to at least win back what I lost. So it's equivalent to no gain no loss. Not that bad but I would definitely prefer winning some money......

A picture with my sister when I spotted this full length mirror in my boss' house.

You don't know how I happy I am to be able to fit into this skirt because when I first bought it online, I couldn't even zip it up because I'm too fat. BUT NOW I CAN. SOMEBODY HAND ME SOME TISSUES.

........ Moving on, went back home in the late afternoon, got changed and went to my maternal grandparents' home. LOVING MY OUTFIT. The outfit was the highlight of my CNY because I bought them with the intention of wearing it during CNY while the one I wore to my boss' house wasn't. Especially loving the sliver loafers from Charles and Keith. Everything is perfect..... except for my face. Ha, whatever.

Since CNY happened in the middle of exams, I had to split my brain into half, literally. Hate exams. I wasn't even that prepared but oh wells, blame myself for studying last minute all the fucking time. Annoyed by myself.

Happy news, wen't out with my homies right after the last paper. I'm so happy. But we didn't get to take a proper picture because Gabby and Sheena were rushing off somewhere. So I only ended up with a picture with Tatiana while Sheena and Alanis were getting their IIaoIIao. (I still prefer calling it LLaoLLao to iiaoiiao)

1/8 of my face gone hahaha.

After Sheena left, we went to The Cathay to satisfy our cravings for ice-cream. We settled down at MilkCow. Not very delicious though, because it was too milky...

We ordered some cookies and cream thingy and this big ass cotton candy.

I hate cotton candies, actually. But it seems cool.

Parted with Alanis and went to meet Carel and Jeff for some chilling session at ION's Starbucks where the waitress couldn't spell my name properly despite me spelling it for her... Annoyed.

I miss spending time with them as a clique but well, things will not be the same anymore... Anyways, had a great laugh with them while playing STOP which I got bored of after a few days.

I got home and had a pleasant surprise! Guess what? My "Love, Tanya" and "Girl Online" books finally arrived!

I haven't started reading them yet but I'm very sure that they will be good! So excited!

Tatiana came to my house the next day as we planned to watch Fifty Shades of Grey since we can't watch it in the cinema (it is freaking R21 in Singapore while it was just PG13 in the US. I'm so annoyed) However, we couldn't find any links to watch so we ended up watching an English film "The Riot Club". Half of the time I was wondering what are they talking about because their accent is too damn strong for me. It was boring as hell too because it's just simply not nice. I'm sorry. (not really) Anyway, sent Tatiana off and went to meet my sister as we wanted to go to the Uncle Ringo fair thingy. I was damn excited because it's been ages since I played in the funfairs. But I was so disappointed because it was damn costly. So we ended up not playing anything. Like everything was so not worth their prices. Went to walk around Marina Bay Float and took a few pictures which I think they sucked because I simply have no photography skills. Anyway, I will still show you.

Yup, I find these peacocks cool.

Trying to take a picture with the thingy thingy behind and obviously failed.

Went out with Tatiana again the next day to Vivo City and caught Focus with her. I love the movie so much and would gladly rate it 6/5. It's that good. Roamed around and had dinner at Marché which was horrible because we should have shared the rosti. We were so bloated when we finished the rosti but still went on and order a slice of chocolate cake each because they looked so yummy. However, we didn't finish the cake because our tummies were about to explode. Home sweet home after that.

Went to facial in the morning after a few days and since I had work in the evening, I went to shop around and chilled in Starbucks while I read my book! Really love spending quality time with myself in an environment so relaxing. Wanna have more of this kind of time for myself in future! I feel so American doing this. Hahahaha. Side note, the belgian waffles weren't up to expectations at all. NOT NICE.

I'm in the middle of my holidays right now. I am so glad exams are over and I finally have lots of free time for myself. 2 weeks have passed and I am not even proud to say that I haven't been spending my days wisely.

My first week of holiday was rather packed as I worked for a few days. Then the second week, I packed my room (still not done yet because I got so lazy halfway...), baked some pizza for the first time, work, baked cake to celebrate dad's birthday, and went out with Tatiana. Rather productive since I'm doing something meaningful everyday. I feel so broke right now because I've spent almost all my money. I'm just waiting for my next payday right now... Screw me. But I have an excuse! 5 birthdays coming up, how can I not spend so much??

I am a proud daughter because I baked cake for my dad and even bought him a gift! Something he really need, a bag, since his Timberland bagpack spoiled. So, I got him a very simply designed Herschel bagpack. I'm sure he liked it because he started using it after a few days. I don't have any pictures of the cake I baked because it looks very awful. I failed at the icing part because I can't make royal icing for God's sake. And so, the words I wrote on it sort of smudged.... Ha.......... Not proud of it at all, hence, no pictures.

However, I am very proud of the pizza I baked.

It's magherita, everybody!!! My all time favourite pizza of alllllllllllllllllllllllll. Now I can bake for myself instead of spending money to buy it outside. Although it's not exactly a success since the dough didn't really rise properly. However, it still tastes heavenly good. One of the many reasons why I love myself so much. Hahahaha.

Caught 2 movies in a day with Tatiana on Friday and they were awesome! Again, I wouldn't mind rating them 6/5. SO SO SO SO SO SO SO GOOD! Don't expect to see our faces in any pictures because Tatiana doesn't like to take pictures... Sighhhhhhhhhhh. Anyway, enjoyed my day because I LOVE WATCHING MOVIES.

Having been loving my work lately because I just made a new same age friend. She is very hyper and some times a bit clingy which I hate. But overall, she's good. Kind, cheerful, yeah. Some random pictures taken during work!
