12th-15th dec

was overseas in melaka!

tried to shop but all we bought was food. i dont understand how people can go overseas and buy so many clothes. maybe I'm in the wrong country/place. :(

overall i think i ate a lot, slept a lot, slacked a lot and this period of time is when a lot of people started to wa me. idk why so spent a lot of time slacking on the hotel room bed and using my phone. oh and the hotel tv's AXN and some other channels had english shows with english sub. it made watching shows like CSI and bluebloods much easier cos we can hear and read what they are saying!! 

meals were normally buffet breakfast, buffet high tea(it was included in the room rate-equatorial club room) and dinner  so ate a lot of food! not to mention all the other stuff we bought like chicken, coffee bun, dumpling and all the stuff from jonker street. also went to hard rock cafe melaka! :) yay to sprite and rum, sprite and vodka! had one night of japanese buffet. took a walk to jonker street after that cos i was so full!!!

tried to swim but failed cos the water was too cold. we've been to this same hotel so many times but never even tried swimming till this trip. wanted to go to the gym, got too lazy. ended up having a massage instead. hehe. 

oh the bathroom was huge!!! soaked in the bathtub while using my phone. quite scared that the phone will fall in and spoil :( the shower area had a rain shower! 

wanted to watch hp on the car's tv for the journey to and from melaka but the tv had no sound and we couldn't get the subtitles to work without the remote( which was in my dad's office) so we couldn't watch :(

overall the trip was relaxing and yay to family time!!!

16th dec (tues)

met cheryl, melissa and victor for cafe hopping. first time doing real cafe hopping! went to 4 in one day! told them to meet at botanic gardens mrt to go to food for thought. only when we reached there did we realise that we were at the other end of the gardens :( decided to walk through the gardens. it was a good walk! and good catch up session. we had french toast and some breakfast set. took the bus back to the mrt.

next stop, creamier! cos its one mrt stop away. hehe. had waffles with double scoop of ice cream. nice nice!! it started to rain so we tried to keep out of the rain as much as possible. despite me telling them to bring an umbrella, we only had 2 umbrellas between the 4 of us :(

went to wimbly lu at serangoon area. haha thanks to all of you for locating the place using maps cos i know i'd had gotten lost if you weren't with me! had 2 cakes there. it was nice!!! :) and played with a cat on the way back to the mrt. so cute! it looks like a siamese. maybe cos of the colour (brown and black)

went to outram wanting to go to group therapy but it closes at 6. :( we reached outram at 6! started the day at 12. sorry for the poor planning! ended up going to a cafe which idk the name and had fries. 

had a good day with the 3 of them! thank you so much! :)

17th dec

laser tag with chapters people!!

first laser tag experience. we played 3 games at the dhoby one (i think its called laserops) first game was  individual against everyone else. second one, we were divided into 3 groups (my group consisted of the chapters people i went with. the other 3 groups were girls from other schools i think, they were all younger then us and kept screaming!) so we had to shoot other team's members. came up first for this mission cos i hid somewhere and just shot anyone who came. haha didn't know the laser could be shot at a long range too! the first game, i was this blur person cos i didn't know there were pads behind me so people could shoot me from behind (once shot, we had a 6 seconds penalty) and i didn't know why my gun couldn't shoot ( cos i was having the penalty and didn't bother to hide myself but once the penalty was over, i was immediately shot again :( ) 3rd game was capture the flag. haha we got first for the 2nd mission and 2nd for 3rd mission (2nd i think cos we all kept shooting people but failed to capture our flag. and someone took our flag down!)

all in all, it was so fun!! want to play again!!!

had lunch at yi gen main. it was good! then had my first llao llao! shared a sanum with cher. it is so nice!!!!

came back and slept. haha looks like laser tag took all the energy out of me.

18th dec

met rachel at 1.30 at my house. then went for lunch at group therapy. eggs benedict!! watched the hobbit with rachel and shuying at tiong bahru cos that was the cinema that was the least crowed. couldn't get our tickets till shuying came cos the lady at the counter said we needed her student pass to prove that we are students. and she was almost late!!! the show was ok i guess. not a follower of the hobbit nor LOTR so i just watched it cos shuz wanted to watch. 

went for dinner at ps cafe. omg it rained on the way there and the food is so expensive!!! we ordered a glass of champagne each, shared a ribs and shared a chocolate desert. it was $110!! and with free truffle fries cos it was truffle day! imagine if we had to order truffle fries.. more expensive...

walked to ntuc to get chips, drinks and ice cream before going to my house cos we planned to stay up late to watch LOTR. stay over yay!! lasted till 3am then we all slept.

19th dec (fri)

officially woke at 10am. lol! and most of my carebearas were wet cos the it rained heavily and the rain came in :( poor cafebears, dont grow mold k. wanted to go to sentosa but we couldn't cos of the  rain so stayed at home, ordered pizza and continued to watch LOTR.

finally decided to leave home for llao llao at kent ridge( yay no queue and yay to giving me a lot of yogurt for my sanum. shuz wanted to complain cos hers looked miserable). went to holland to eat churios!

had a christmas party below my house so we went to get food, talked to them for a while then went up to watch a show. tiring stay over but fun!!!

22nd dec (mon)

outing with some S1 peeps.  went to penny university with jacq, victor and junyu. wanted it only cos cheryl wanted it but she didn't go in the end :( its nice to meet them again after such a long time. yay to talking to all 3 of them a lot even after the meet up! 
went down to dhoby for minds cafe with victor, junyu, shawn and fadhil. played crimes against humanity. and i think victor and junyu judged me after that. :( and the building blocks game (can't remember what its name is ) and i think we conquered it cos each level either had the middle piece or 2 side pieces left so we couldn't continue with the game! amazing. these guys are good. first time out like that with all guys. new experience but didn't feel weird at all. i guess they're just so nice and accepting. thanks for today everyone! :)

met belle and jiaxin at night, for dinner. chicken rice at ghim mho! :) short dinner session but I'm glad to have been able to meet up with them again!

23rd dec

prawning with dad. hehe supposed to leave early. but i woke a little late and we went to ikea for breakfast. wow ikea breakfast is really cheap. so we ended up reaching punggol for prawning around 11 plus. prawned for 3 hours and we caught 39!! best catch so far. yay!!! went back, bathed, fetched mum to physio. then we had dinner at orchard, some korean bbq buffet. today was a good day. i love spending time with family :)

24th dec
its been a year since I'm officially single :) been hard sometimes but being single has its perks too. i was glad to have jacq to talk to immediately after waking up.  well more like slacking on the bed and refusing to get up. and just chatted over wa. but you're the best jacq! :) i dont think anyone else remembered. and 2 of my close friends were overseas. I'm glad that ive someone to count on. still looking for that special friend in uni. maybe you're the one. one day i'll tell someone that i love all of that person, but yes one day. not now.
had lunch with mum then bought log cake!!!! yay! i guess the rest of the day was spent resting at home and lazing around. can't remember the exact day but i think its around this time that i started watching running man. hehe. 

25th dec

christmas! nothing special? it felt like any normal public holiday or weekend just that we had a christmas tree and family gave me presents. yay! a lot of friends i know spent christmas and new year (and the eve of it) with friends or lovers. i used to think that they are lucky and i would want that too. its fun, and it means you're close to the person. but i treasure what i have, spending time with family. though we may not do much, i know that my family will be there when i need them to be

26th

trickeye museum with weiyi and junyu. haha meeting at 8.30am at vivo became meeting weiyi at 8.50 and junyu at 9. had an early breakfast at macs. and glad we went early cos the queue was quite long after we came out. also had to sort of wait for a while at each exhibition, if not it'll be quite fast! went to slappy cakes after that for lunch! had fun drawing shapes and all. but i can't draw even a heart so mine all came out weird shaped :( rained as we were going back so got all wet. good weather to sleep in so i slept after going home. hehe, one of the earliest days that ive been home. 

when i met you in the summer

i guess this title is a good one. so my uni life started in june (ok, actual lessons started in aug but the camps started in june.)
went for hist camp, 12-14 june. arts camp, 16-20 june. soci camp 3-6 july. and i just crashed o week for a few days. enough to get teased and make new friends. :)

i said that uni life started in june cos i went for camps and met my new friends there. little did i know that i would spend almost the whole semester with the friends i made from camps. from attending lectures and tutorials, to having lunch, to projects, to even cca, i was with at least 1 camp friend. and so i am ever so grateful to all my camp mates and friends that in made in the summer. it was a good semester, i was hardly ever alone and almost always had someone to lunch with. even at dance, i had a friend with me (thanks sp!)

camps were good!
will always remember hist camp as the slack 3d2n one, and my first camp. where we had to hunt the whole FASS for our ogl but couldn't find her. where we had good food. where we had supper from "china chef" at utown green, my first walk from utown to fass/eusoff, my first htht session, my first NUS friends. the only camp that thought us about bidding. yay to romans!
arts camp was the one that was the most tiring, the most activities, the least sleep. like 12-13 hours for 5 days 4 nights. cheering at 1-2 am, sp time at 12am. first taste of ameen. first time clubbing at butter factory (it was a good experience and the guys i was with were really nice). station games where we just played. beach day where it was so hot, the tan was bad and the skin peeled. the long htht sessions with my room mate. the night walk which my poor mate had to bear with me for like 20 min? i realized that i can't really remember many games we played.it was more of the interaction and friendships that i remember. anyway, s1 swee ah!!
soci camp was the yolo camp. we didn't do amazing race round singapore like the o comm planned but went bowling and ate ice cream instead. played in the sea instead of going back to bathe after beach day. stayed up till 7am for htht on the last night. unicorn became a fish! haha! ok all the inside jokes. the only og that had successful weekly lunches during term time. cheezebuns! :)
o week. i crashed as a helper. no regrets though. did get to know the og better and you all were super enthu!! good job as the best og of the best house :D

from each of these camps, I'm happy to say that ive at least 1 good friend. very very very thankful for you all. i may not remember much since it has been one semester but there were good memories. see you all at og outing!!!

sem life was a breeze in terms of social life cos of my og mates. can't say the same for my studies though. dread the results but come what may. yr1sem1 was fun in its own way. and ive no regrets on what i did :) the transition from jc to uni in terms of studies was not easy. in fact, i think i need to study harder and play less. lets hope for that in the next sem!

ive been gone for a year. so much has happened. i guess thats what spurred me to start blogging again. too lazy to change all the fonts and colour of the words even though i dislike green. urgh how do i even change it? anyway lets start with the blog post and we'll figure out about it later.

so dec hols started last week. wonder if this is called winter break cos the other long hols is summer. hols have been busy as usual. right from the end of exams till today, ive been out everyday. today's the only time i have to rest and relax before starting a hectic schedule again.

4th dec (thurs- ive to write this cos i remember my calendar based on days and not dates)
freedom!!! ok had a stomachache before my last paper and missed a prayer session. and the paper was super hard! but ok its over!
met Eunice at vivo to watch penguins of madagascar. and had dinner! had some htht too. walked till we were tired so sat at a random chair to talk. so thankful to have met you at arts camp and take 2 mods with you this sem. hope we dont lose contact even though we're going to be in different majors thus different mods. crossing fingers. dont forget me k!!!

5th dec
went out with mum, sent my phone for repair. on the way home, called ayilisha to see if she's free. and we decided that i should go over to her house in about 3 hours! love this impromptu meet ups. never really had a chance to do this cos i always plan my days at least one week in advance. so yup if you want to meet me, it must be  planned a week in advance if not i'll squeeze you into my schedule which means odd hours like 8am to 12pm. haha! anyway played with ayilisha's play station, some fighting game that was quite fun!!! and took pics! btw all the pics are either on fb or insta so go stalk there if you want pics.
met abigail for dinner at night. walked the whole of clementi mall until we got bored of it. had swensons then baskin robins. i guess sometimes its good that we dont really talk often cos when we meet, we never run out of things to talk about! but i guess we should start communicating more soon?

6th dec
went for dental. so glad that my teeth are fine. hehe. used to dislike the dentist cos it was always associated with pain. need to floss more often!
watched mocking jay part 1. can i be annie so i can date finnick? :) can't believe ive to wait one year for part 2. anyway part 2 is the battle. it feels like HP deathly hallows where part1 was the build up and part 2 was the fight.

7th dec
met jiaxin early in the morning. thanks for waking up early to meet me! by early i meant we met at 9am. lol! at je. had breakfast, wanted to buy a gift but ended up walking to some army family day showcase. quite interesting! we took pics on a tank. used night vision glasses in a totally dark place (jiaxin just had to ask if we can see ghost with this) and use a rifle. oh people kept asking us if we wanted to sign on. but nope, I'm happy with studying sociology in NUS. :)
met alex at noon for prawning. it was fun! i think he reads a lot (so lots of general knowledge) and loves animals so he gave me a crash course on a prawn anatomy. think i learn a lot from him that day. and he's nice:) and prawning is fun!! just that i dont dare to remove the hook from the prawn so he has to do it for me....

9th dec (mon)
sent grandma off to the airport. had a  nice nap in the car to and from the airport.
went to the library to look for soci books just out of interest but i took hist books instead. ww2 still fascinates me. if only hy1101e has more focus on ww2 :(
met amanda at bugis! watched mocking jay again. went for honey comb! it was good but a little ex if not for the groupon voucher that she got. went to vivo to buy ingredients and dinner but we took so long that we only started baking around 8? along the way, we tried to trick each other's friends. haha sorry jy for falling prey to me and my friends a second time. :)
and twin stayed till almost 2am cos we couldn't finish baking. but we did cupcakes and cookies which are good! who wants some? :D

10th dec
6 hours of sleep. i woke up and wanted to sleep more cos i think ive a lack of sleep and had busy days (as seen from up there) really want to have a whole day at home to just rest, watch shows, etc. but i know I'm not that kind of person so i shouldn't do it. but I'm worried of getting too used to be out that I'm scared to be alone at home again, like what happened this sem. :(
anyway finally got out of bed and met jacqueline! watched interstellar! it was a long movie but good!!! wanted to eat macs for their cheese shaker fries but ended up at pizza hut again for the student discount. hehe. pizza with lots of cheese and the cheese bottle spilled on my plate so i had LOTS AND LOTS of it! :) didn't have much time cos i had to leave so short meeting! :( hope to see you again soon.
met cousin at HV to eat fries from hatched and ice cream from the daily scoop. eating a lot today!! haha! went home to pack my stuff, got a stomachache that led me to the toilet 3 times. :( went to look for a job, finally back to my cousin's house. wanted to watch a show but was too tired so she ended up sleeping early.
i was bombarded with like 9 conversations on wa, a message on fb and snap chat. maybe cos i havent been replying them but you know, there is a point in time when you just dont feel like replying cos there are too many to reply. and despite that, i felt more alone then ever. not to say i wasn't talking to good friends. i was! but just felt so disconnected. so thank you sp, for spending over an hour on wa trying to console me while i struggled to keep my composure for other conversations and poured everything out to you :) you really are a nice guy!

11th dec
its like 11.25am now. rest day!  i think of tmr and i feel tired already. well will update as and when i can.

on a side note, see, ive been going out so much but its mostly cos i initiated it. i wish that for once, or more then once, people would initiate to ask me out instead of always me asking. it feels tiring to have to do that and i dont want to anymore.
also, should i take up a job that will drag into term time?

when i met you in the summer! ~ next post will probably be about school life!
