This is a good weather to head out of the door in a pretty dress matched with an oversized cardigan to enjoy the after-rain breeze.

Walk down the street, get a seat in an alfresco cafe, order a drink and cake; preferably a chocolate cake and waste the afternoon away admist the company and banter of my friends.

This was what I wanted to do the moment the rain stopped and the weather calmed down.

Sad fact of life: I was stuck indoor working on assignments while I dreamed away the possiblity of that happening. Each time the breeze hit me through my room's window, I want to text someone, get dressed and leave the house. But I did not.

So here I am, watching the cursor blink on my unfinished sentence in my report and occasionally checking on FB. My only source to the outside world's happening...

BELLA SWAN, EDWARD CULLEN

Having spent a smashing six months away from home, school and most importantly reality has thrown me off the equilibrium, completely. Sometimes, I wish I could just stay in Disney, work for Mickey and Nemo, make friends with the world, paying peanuts for expensive/exclusive labels and party my ass off (though I'm no where near the legal age to drink).
But fuck, anything is better than what I have to deal with right now.

Assignment deadlines are hot on my heels but I have completely lost the motivation to study after the internship... THIS IS B-A-D!!!!!!!! Also thinking of what I want to do after graduation sends me into a frenzyyy. I have a couple of thoughts, one of which received instant disapproval from my dad but I disregard his thinking and will pursue it if possible. Qualitative modules are still manageable but Decision Sciences is really fucking my brain up, instant congestion!!!!!! Its supposedly a university module and so we're just skimming the surface. I thought it was really cool initially but now, i take back my words.

The only motivation to see me through is my Graduation Trip to Taiwan and maybe Bangkok. Am working the weekends to earn it and I can't wait for my pay to get in so I can book the tickets immediately. I need to escape this mundane town!

Just watched 2012 and I'm in awe with the effects and nonetheless; I'm pretty sure the movie struck everyone who watched it, unless, of course you have chosen to be oblivious (once again???). Many a time, we have chosen to turn a blind eye to all the disasters happening just because it doesn't strike or relate to us. But think of the Artic ice melting, drought causing the famine and damage of the ozone layer. All of which has its irreversible impact on us, so all fellow humans, be kind to the earth.


p.s. I wished I'm in the States so I can catch New Moon which is showing tomorrow(America time, i think). I'm so excited for the movie, I have been playing the trailer repeatedly and IF time permits, I'll re-read that chapter of the sage again...HEHEHE

I've decided to embark on a year long mission to organise my room; because no matter how much stuff i throw away, I can't seem to find the all the space for my clothes and bags. My earrings especially, are giving me a huge headache.

oh well... should have known better. BUT, its so hard to resist all the shopping in the states, I still feel like I should have bought more...

OK, SHUTUP!

T.I.M.S.U.M

I have no idea where to start... Juggling Facebook and a blog can be quite mentally taxing, besides I do all my updates on FB that my blog is pretty much obsolete.

Let's see, high tea at Yum Cha for Dad's birthday celebration! That was an absolutely delightful meal for my tastebuds because I havent had good tim-sum in, SIX months. The best thing is Dad's an avid fan of tim-sum, so it works just fine to bring him there for the celebration. They make really fantastic portugese egg-tarts, I was popping them into my mouth. I'm really bad with food description, but let's just say the crust was crisp & fluff and the egg custard was so soft and flavourful that it melts in the mouth. Perfect for each other!!!!

highlight of my meal

and the timsum that follows..

With the commencment of school in just a couple of days, I've resolved to party hard and then be a good schoolgirl with my lecture notes for the next four months.

Halloween Night on Saturday; EXCITINGGGG and can y'all spell PARRRTYYYY!!!!!!!!

And the Jay-Z song was on

So I put my hands up, they're playin' my song

The butterflies fly away

I'm noddin' my head like "Yeah!

Movin' my hips like "Yeahhhhh!!!!!

HELLOOO SINGAPORE

It has been a good week since I've finally reached home after been away for a good six months. It's an undeniable fact that coming back home, seeing my friends and family was really exciting and amazing.
As wonderful as it is, little did I expect the culture shock that awaits me. Having lived here almost my whole life, I thought I would have no problem adapting back... However, the past week has proved me wrong.... It's not only a matter of getting used to the way things work, but most importantly how our people are...

I felt horrified each time they bestow me with their ungracious and inconsiderate behaviour; to think I've highly promoted our country to all my friends...
If we really want to place ourself on the global map, we have better work on our service standards and to be more gracious and considerate.
Just the other day, Andrea and I had lunch at HEI Sushi and it was then I remembered how bad our service staff can be... Maybe I shouldn't benchmark using the America standards, but the least that waitress could do was SMILE... I doubt she can even make any recommendation if I were to ask...

Going to head back to school later to submit my final report, can't wait to see if anything interesting awaits me... I promise I will clean up my room on tuesday after I'm done with my report.... and I'm sure I will do it!!!!

till later

p.s. The WiFi in HK has just changed my languange to chinese, this is driving me nuts..

I'm glad I have a little time here in the airport to write up another post before I head back to Singapore. Bid my last farewell to Nemo and everyone at work, friends I've made over this short span of 6 months. It was hard but I know I have to go and I'm just thankful for the opportunity I've had to do my internship in Disney World. As much as I complain about work and how I wanted to go home during the early months, now I wished I could stay on for a little while more. To forge a deeper friendship with all these people I've met and to do more things which I haven't had the chance to, I just wasn't that ready to go....

At the same time, I'm really excited to see everyone back home... My friends and family which I've left behind to pursue this program 6 months ago... I bet there're alot of changes in Singapore now and I'm kind of excited thinking about when my flight touched down at Changi Airport.

So I've finally checked in my luggage and I've got to tell you, that was an eventful check-in with the sorting of luggage. Apparently I'm the only one with attrocious excess weight, so my adorable friends tyng, jasmine and Ben has kindly allow my stuff to bunk in with their luggage. OR I would have to pay USD$300 in total for both bags. My heart was palpitating each time I set it on the scale and how despondent I felt when it was still overweight. I'm glad I'm done with all of those...

Yeap, no amount of words can sum up my entire experience here and I'm glad to say I've gave a beautiful full-stop to the best summer of my life.
