Birthdays....

A post dedicated to all the birthday girls haha....
That's just too many people's birthday in 2 months!!
and they are all turning 21 yo!
the Key Age to the Adult World

Econs Lenglui, ok i might not be in that category haha :D

First Up -- Wanqi
our big sister of econs gang!! in fact not just econs gang, she seems to be the big sister of the msa freshies, that explains how caring and helpful she is. Her birthday was during the sem break, so it's a post-birthday celebration....surprised her outside the lecture theater haha, and sing when everyone's around LOL
It's a simple one, but hope she likes it.

Second, our 4-In-Love 24 hours ON 7Eleven -- Huan Huan!

sad that we failed to surprise her TT.TT

even after we formed alliance with her bf, we still failed :(

It so happened that she just walked into us haha

Yeap, she just walked into us in the wide and big Orchard area...
What a fate haha...

anyways it was kinda fun, to travel to the beautiful and bustling Orchard area to surprise her.

Beautiful lights and lively atmosphere around :D

Had a small chit chat and game session with the girls at Oriole Cafe and Bar @ Somerset 313
beautiful cafe, situated outdoors, looks awesome at night...definitely a great place for a girls night out.
what we did? hmmm updating each other about CNY, discussing how our surprise plan failed, laughing with no reason, more laughters, ....and finally, some caffeine and alcohol, perfect for a 21st bday isn't it? LOL

Short Review on the drinks we had at Oriole Cafe and Bar:

Sex on the Beach -- SGD 12

sweet and tangy

Bloody Mary -- SGD12

lol i didn't know this was suppose to taste like veggie juice haha...

i like tomatoes but just find it very strange without the texture of squashed tomato haha

Here comes the caffeine part, check out the beautiful latte art

Left : Cafe Latte -- SGD 5.50

Center: Mocha -- SGD 6.00

Right: Mint Mocha -- SGD 6.00

Small cup on top: Espresso -- SGD 4.00

I had the mocha, which I think taste really good, strong cocoa flavor with smooth texture. The mint mocha taste similar, can't taste much of mint. Espresso was nice, but my girls don't seem to enjoy it haha...

the cafe was really a cosy and beautiful place to hang out with friends on a busy friday night.

Happy celebration for my dearest Huan Huan, and also sort of like a farewell outing for CC well...

From Left2: CC, HuanHuan, ShiYien, JingYi & Limin

OMG what the fish am I doing haha...

just find this photo funny...

Next, our Toddler of 4inLove -- AhBian Limin :D

notice I used toddler, not baby haha...coz toddler are much more childish and annoying ahhahahaha
no worries dear, we enjoy ur childish acts.

so for her birthday, it was a 2 part plan

first, to act like we simply celebrated her birthday 

coz this girl has been reminding us to celebrate her bday since the beginning of sem 1!! 怕死我们不会庆祝酱LOL

so yea we tried to make everything look like as if we're trying to ignore her bday (but not overdoing it)

just sing her a song outside LT, and take photos...no presents, no cards, NOTHING ELSE. 

and when she goes out in the evening...the second part comes :D

Ta-dah....we secretly pasted our wishes on her door when she went out

yes 就是要让整个Block13都懂是他的生日！

and hope she gets surprised when she comes back.

after the surprise, here comes our part 3 haha....

Watched Conjuring in my super-dim-and-lifeless room
while sipping beer!! Yeap 21st is all about alcohol for us hahahaha....

Conjuring was good, like really!!

coming up, ShiYien our sweet and caring lady...

well due to our super busy days, we decided to celebrate her bday early, ON V-Day!

and it's like a collab haha

we econs coursemates were in charge of decorating her room, while her boss OG brings in the cake.

bought balloons, blew them, draw on them....write on them...and pasted lots of post-it notes on her wall...

wishes and nonsense altogether hahahahah....

Balloon of Econs gang, drawn by ME! haha it's an achievement coz I suck in drawing most of the time. 

Happy with our masterpiece haha

Finally, the last Feb Baby

Our Angrybird Princess JingYi!!

her birthday turned out to be the toughest to plan, coz we pretty much ran out of ideas...

so what u gonna see, is a combination of all the ideas above LOL

 ta-dah, surprise when she opens the door in the morning!!

Me and Limin went to her room in the middle of the night to paste the notes
Effin scared that she'll suddenly open the door and see us..

Btw, my second Balloon Drawing heheheheh....

Part 2, Angry Bird themed celebration at Uni

hehe 2nd surprise, we pretty much showered her with angry bird haha...

this time, we have almost the whole econs family to sing her bday song and write her bday messages.

Angry Bird mini cakes from Polar (Jurong Point)

CNY diaries

Just gonna post some photos....

before i forget them hehe....
So where to start from....
It's my second semester in NTU, things are easier I suppose, except the curriculum :(
Thought I would be homesick when I first came back
But turns out, I just miss home, not to the point of not wanting to be here.
Guess I really got use to things over here...

Anyways....so for the first few weeks, it was still kinda hard to adapt to the study mode, coz CNY is just around the corner!! All I had in my head was, holidays, food, fireworks, food, shopping, food.....
Pretty much spent my time, enjoying life haha...
watch dramas, go out with friends, and also i was in the middle of planning Malaysian Gathering.
Something new: It's my first time experiencing pre-CNY outside home
glad that I was able to spend some time, walking the streets of Chinatown, to experience the CNY atmosphere....well over here, the markets were bustling with people, lots of goodies being sold, and can sample lots of snacks haha...

shopping day with the girls..

treat ourselves to some dessert at MOF

The famous Tooth Relic Temple

which i visited in June last year

Check this out haha

Love this photo so much...

and also the pretty girl beside me LOL

Yeap I must say I had a great CNY this year...with the family I love, with the friends I treasure...

Thank God we're able to spend time with other family members after not going back for 2 years...

Btw, I met up with my maternal side cousins as well!!! But too crazy to take photos haha...Love them..

K gonna have some food stuff posted....SOON!!

Pre-CNY

Yay!! I'm Back at Home Now :D
such a happy girl haha, to come back home after 2 weeks of class!!! How I wish I can go back home every two weeks, yes two weeks, no need one week once, just two weeks please!!!!

But looks like it's not a good idea afterall, now don't feel like going back at all....

Anyways, erm My CNY was kinda great, i mean really great hahahah
paiseh not much photos to share haha...but I believe I don't need photos to prove my experience of CNY hehe...

before going into the CNY days...
gonna talk a lil bit about my Holiday-Mood two weeks of class in SG
Yeap, total slack...
skipped many classes, yeap, my skip class hours usually doubles when the second semester comes, that's TESTED AND PROVEN.
Really enjoyed the two weeks actually, coz all I had in my head was balik kampung!! and the first week was really relaxing, no tutorials, other than the very annoying course registration system which gave me heart attacks every single day... the first week was blissful, then the second week, gawd I skip so many tutorials :( so guilty about it. I guess I'm gonna suffer when I go back.

Anyways, during the first 2 weeks, I was actually in the midst of planning a Malaysian Gathering for the AMCISA and MSA students!! Yes I think we made a record here, from the date of our first meeting to the event date, it was less than 2 weeks!!! haha crazy i know, but everything was possible thanks to a bunch of very committed main comms!! Eventhough I'm nt a participant, I really did enjoyed the event, and again, experienced the awesome-ness of teamwork! wish I could tell them how grateful I am.

and yeap, after a successful event, time to balik kampung!!! haha I think my holiday kinda started once the Malaysian Gathering event was over, skipped classes, and went supper for 4 nights straight omg....
truly love this slack-days....
haizzzz which reminds me of my days in UTAR....slack but not lazy...
I guess going back means no slack and no lazy at all :(
OMG 3 more years of life like this....
okok I know I'm whining a lot
but I know I'm the type that whines all the way until everything is over, and I'll change my attitude 360 degrees and feel great about everything that happened. Hope this is and will be true for every case haha...

well I guess, some part of me, is still struggling to break out of that comfort zone...but I know staying at the same spot means never moving forward. Just wish I could stay stronger and trust myself more...

okok....just a short wordy post haha....
will share some photos when I have time :D
