lady of the mist, dream dancer

You know when you were in your teens, so in love with someone and just can't stop talking about it?

Yesterday right after MAEC session, I had a great lunch session with Daya, Kashib and his girlfriend. Oops, as well as Fatty. We were talking about a lot of things, like really a lot. I mean, everyone knows how much I can talk. I'm hella talkative.

Meet Syahirah, Kashib's girlfriend.

While talking, we actually found out that we were both liked by the same guy. How small can the world be? It's pretty shocking for the both of us. Because the person who liked us... He was pretty known by many. Right after the lunch session, I couldn't help it but to find out how he's doing now. And that brought me back to my Secondary 4 days.

Basically, Syahirah and I experienced a similar situation.

At one point of time in your life, you're bound to be so in love with someone. Well, lucky for me, someone from my secondary school was so in love with me. I would like to believe so... or maybe he was just pretty obsessed. But wait, before anything, I would like to say I have to applaud him for being really in love with a girl like me... because really, I am still waiting for the day someone really loves me and hopefully did not freak me out like this dude did. 

At 16, how would you react if someone wrote this for you?

This guy right here confessed to me when I was in Sec 4. Even though we barely talked, probably once... up till today, I don't understand how he could be so in love with me. I'm really the worst girl anyone can ever fall in love with, in my opinion.

He even made a poem out of my name.

He really deserves an award.

Well, he's quite a memory.

I remembered when he confessed me, everyone was mocking us. But really... up till today, I don't understand why people teased me for the fact that he really liked me. Even my "close" friends teased me. 

I would be lying if I said it didn't affect much. Because it did. When he walked pass my class, and though I felt pretty creeped out, I still don't understand why the boys in my class laughed at me and shouted my name. Like really, it's pretty childish. What's worst is, when my "close" friends did it as well. I mean, really? You guys knew I didn't like him. But it's also my fault for not telling them how much I hated whatever they were doing.

He even dreamt of me.

Which guy dreams of me now? Probably none.

He even noticed when I gained weight.

Everyone around me were always telling me that I looked fine. I didn't gain any weight, I looked "as usual". Well you guys probably notice it but just didn't have the heart to tell me about my weight gain. But this dude, damn I was trying to run away from him but he just noticed the changes on myself back then.

And when I received my O level results, he even noticed me.

I didn't realize I have a dimple on my right cheek until now.

Was it really that hard to get over a heartless person like me?

This was him trying really hard to get over me.

Even tried calling me a bitch but it didn't work.

Is this what they say... reverse psychology?

Up till today, I don't know how much that short encounter with him made him fell for me really hard. He did so many things, too many for me to list down... I'm just posting those that I saw on his facebook. Yes I kinda stalked him, and no it's not because I finally open up to him but because I feel both of us and all of the girls he ever loved didn't deserve all those mocks we got from others. So I hope through this post, if someone who ever mocked us reads this post, apologize to him and all the other girls who cried because of what you did.

And, this is from me to him.

Dear boy,

People find you creepy, and yes I have to admit you were creeping me out. But you. You showed me that people can be so in love with me. All the other boys teased you. But that's because they're being superficial. If it was the coolest kid in school or the most good-looking guy... they won't say a thing. But because you're not blessed like them, you were mocked. One thing you should be proud of is that you learnt to embrace your flaws unlike me. I hope one day a girl will learn to appreciate the way you show your love... through those poems and songs. Because I couldn't. 

Just a point to note. Don't be too pushy. By pushy, I mean... don't seek help from other people. Do it all by yourself. Because I know you can.

From, your dream dancer.

To those who found joy in mocking us and didn't feel guilty:

All he did was to fall in love. And falling in love is not wrong.

The true losers were all of you who were no different from bullies.

Everyone knows how much I love Sona.

And today it just escalated.

Tell me this means a yes from him on our relationship.

Everyone's favourite Jedi, but he's my favourite Mama's boy

Tanya: Siapa rapper favouriteku? Saya!

Yesterday I did something crazy again. By crazy, I mean bringing my friend who wears a hijab to a place she shouldn't be at. But don't worry nothing much happened, just pure fangirling.

Few days ago, Azreena texted me about the #3rdGGC Anniversary show which I already knew about and told me she wanted to go there alone since my boy Sonaone would be performing at the event. So I told her that I would go with her, I mean no I ain't letting my hijabi girl go there alone and partly because I really wanna meet my boy.

This is us acting all crazy.

He performed for a really short time, but let me tell you last night was just perfect! Oh, and can you spot that halal gap between Azreena and Sona? 😂

Sona came out and did his thing. He did it well as usual! But the moment he came to my side, I saw this smirk. It's like he knows me but I just told myself to not be perasan and shiok sendiri and then, he kept coming to our side again and again. Well I'm not sure if he was trying to steal some looks at Azreena and I because really, we stood out last night. 

Before he left the stage, he shook hands with us and that got us screaming. People around us were staring at us probably wondering why we were overly crazy over him. Because most of the people around us actually came for the other performers.

After the event, we waited for 5 minutes hopping for Sona to come out from the backstage at the place but he didn't so I told Azreena that we should just leave. But my girl really wanted to take a photo with my boy. So we waited near the driveway area at the back. I was really tired to the point that I just sat by the roadside 😅

Lucky for us, he came out and it was really great to hear him said, "Oh hey, I remember you..." the moment he saw me hahaha of course I doubted at first but he assured me when I asked if it was Influence Asia but we all know that Instagram was probably the reason he remembers me up till today. 

But something I cannot forget and cannot stop getting excited over.... When he said, "Most probably I'm coming back in May!" And when I asked "For what?", he answered with a cheeky smirk. Now I can't wait for exams to be over, well let's not just come back here in May. Come back here in July as well because I need my boy with me on my birthday!

My favourite Mama's boy 💕

3 years?

I'm supposed to be busy mugging for exams, but clearly I'm distracted. What's new, right?

Azreena texted me in the morning, wanting to meet me for lunch. I woke up pretty late, so I told her dinner would be a better option. Apart from eating, we just kept on talking and talking... there are just so many things we can talk about.

It's been 3 years since I first met her. Our friendship just got better from there, alhamdulillah.

Snapchat is really the in thing now.

I was already planning to get home early tonight but I took the wrong mrt so I ended up at Buona Vista. Since I was already there, I decided to text Aisah and she invited me to chill at her hall. Pretty obvious, I'm the best at procrastination. We didn't do anything, just spent a good 2 and a half hours talking to each other. The both of us felt like we just got to know each other but we have seen each other grow so much honestly.

We are both in different schools, doing different things. But we still laugh as much as before, or maybe even more. The topics we talk about these days are more mature and we're both pretty shocked (and scared!) at how things are moving way too fast. I wish I can share the things we talked about, but it'll be too much for everyone to handle. So let's keep it between us. 

I'm just glad I got to meet both my girls today. Didn't expect to divide my time for both of them today, but hey I did it. Oh, and I also completed some past exam questions after meeting them. It ain't that bad, right?

On another note, I can still fit into my primary school t-shirt.

This one's a pretty ancient one.

Now, to sleep or to study?

Awet Muda

Today I bumped into this auntie who used to sell Malay food at my primary school.
If you're from my primary school, you may know her, Cik Ani.

We share the same birth date. I remember during my primary school one time, people were wishing me on my birthday and she told me it was her birthday too. I swear I didn't know how to react, I mean "Am I supposed to give you a present?" so I just smiled and wished her a happy birthday.

I was on my way to my tutee's place and surprisingly, she was going to the same area. We talked quite a lot for a good 15 minutes.

She kept telling me how much I have not changed over the years. Can you guys believe it that primary school education was 10 years ago for me? That's pretty long honestly. She told me that my face didn't change a little bit. I honestly don't know if that's good or bad. Because hey, I look super selenge in primary school. I mean, don't we all? She even asked me for tips on how I looked like I didn't age a bit. She made my day, because that means I have such a baby looking face. Who is Min Hyorin again?

So do I look awet muda like how the auntie said it?

Oh, and before we both go on our separate ways... She prayed for me to find a good jodoh.

Well, Sona is a pretty nice boy when I met him. Oh, and he's Muslim too!

Lately, I've been pretty obsessed with this Mama's boy.

Nenek, your upcoming hip traveller

Busy and tiring day, that's how I feel about today.

This morning, MAEC organised an outing to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve so I had to be up and out earlier than usual. 

I was the GL for the Blue group, together with Izzati and Haziq. It's amazing how I managed to bond with the kids and attend to their needs, and still entertained the parents while walking through out the Sungei Buloh trail and sweating my calories off.

🙉🙈🙊

My biggest mistake today was to wear my new shoes. I couldn't find my Skechers shoes this morning, the one that I wore to Japan and Korea last year. So I had to give in to those striking purple and pink shoes. Fatty chose it for me when we were in Bandung, he has pretty unique taste. I mean seriously, who would buy and wear those shoes? They're too striking. Oh well, I did. My shoes got a lil dirty after the trail. Pretty lucky for me because that pair of shoes didn't cost me a bomb, so the pain is still bearable.

The kids kept asking me questions. One after another throughout the whole trail. Some of them even held on to my hands, bag straps and my top. They were basically all over me. And since I had to ensure they're always practising safety, I had to make sure they're not running around and boy it was pretty tiring! I really salute all the pre-school and primary school teachers. You guys have my respect!

I didn't join them for the second part of the day. They continued their activities at West Coast but I had to go off because I had to send Nenek and Halijah off to Melbourne.

I'm so glad that Nenek is travelling around more often than before. Almost 2 years have passed since Atuk left us and I know how much they loved travelling especially Atuk. It's their favourite past time. Even though Atuk is no longer with us, I want her to keep on travelling. Keep on discovering the world while she can! 

She's not educated, she can't speak English well, barely even understands that language. I hate how sometimes the younger ones look down at the older ones for being less educated than them and the younger ones always act like they know it all when honestly they don't. I want her to go all "Oh yeah I've been to those countries!" and surprise them with stories about the countries she has gone to if anyone will ever go "Oh you don't know how beautiful *insert country name* looks like! 🙄" to her. Just imagine the shock faces of those arrogant people 😈

Nenek invited me to join for this trip but I had to say no because of finals 😢 But it's ok, I'll get there one day. Actually I have plans for a trip that's coming soon, but first I need to save up enough then I'll spill some beans along the way.

Right after checking in, we went to have supper at Kopitiam and I had a great talk with Halijah and her boyfriend. So far, this guy she's with has been earning good points from the Zakaria's family. We had talks over so many topics. I mean come on, when you talk to me, we can talk just about anything and there's no end to it.

Recently, I took a cab home after hanging out with Daya at night. We talked non-stop throughout the whole ride from MBS till her place. The taxi auntie actually asked if we had not been meeting each other for quite some time. I actually laughed a little and then answered her. It's amazing how I text her everyday, meet her almost every single day too and still, we can talk so much. Maybe I'm a little too talkative.

Anyway, back to today. There were people in grey uniforms sitting behind us. I was actually curious about their job but I kept quiet until I saw my cousin Haikal talking to the dude behind us. Lucky for him, my uncle took this photo and he kinda photobombed us. I asked him a few questions and both he and his colleagues answered. It was all good... until my dear little cousin Izat had to go, "Who is this, Kakak? Your boyfriend?" right in front of him. That just got both of us pretty awkward, I must say. I tried to recover from the situation by laughing it off and replying that little minion with "No lah, we don't even know each other. How can that be my boyfriend?" I was slowly walking away from my position right after saying that. Nope, not the best way to recover from such awkward situations.

Nenek and Halijah will be away for a month. A month in the land of kangaroos and koala. Nenek has gone to Japan, Korea, Bandung and now, Australia all in the span of less than a year. She's travelling more than those people you see who wanna act like they're touring the world, those travel blogger wannabes. But whatever, because all I hope for now is that they'll have fun and come back safely after a month!

Nenek, the traveller

Nenek, better than all those traveller wannabes

sicksicksick

I've been down with fever for the past week.

Whenever I feel like "hey, this is it, I've recovered!", my body disagrees and go into sick mode again.

Not the best time to be sick, definitely.

Less than 2 months to finals, I'm in deep shit.

I'm still not fully recovered.

Busy with... nothing?

I'm not really sure what I've been busy with... I took a gamble and skip my prelims this time round. Yes, I'm studying for finals. But the question is, will I be exam ready by then? 

If you ask me what I've been busy with, well I've been spending a lot of time on tuition. This was taken by my tutee aka Nabilah's cousin Fatris. I'm slowly growing closer to her cousins and their cats. Their cats are just so so cute. I mean, just look at this one. Isn't she cute without even trying? Her name is Kelly. You'll definitely see me talk more about them here since I spend a lot of time with them now.

Anyway, the past few days have been amazing. I've been going to the movies way more than usual in less than a month's time.

Deadpool, checked and disappointing.

How To Be Single, checked. Must-watch!

Ride Along 2, checked. Asian and black humour. Love it!

How To Be Single with Haris and Daya

I caught this movie on Saturday right after cooking for the family, which they said "still got a lot to improve on". Serious question, should I really give up trying to improve my cooking skills and just pray I marry a husband who can cook or should I keep on trying?

Haris was being random that day. Asked Daya and I if we had any plans that Saturday evening, and next thing I know... we're sitting in the same cinema theatre watching a chick flick movie.

I could totally relate to this movie. 

Alice's sister, well kinda... I really wanna have a kid but not really be in a committed relationship. We all know that's not possible because of my religion but still... let me dream. 

Alice, yes. Come on, let's face it. Sometimes we need people in our lives because they're handy... their presence benefit our daily lives. I know way too many girls who are with their guys because they can support them financially, these guys can be their drivers... and the list goes on.

Lucy, a little bit. Well, I've been keeping my options open. I reply anyone who tries to hit me up? But really, some are jerks or really... boring? And your pick up lines... my girl friends make better pick up lines than you. Just be you. That's enough, really.

Robin, totally! My favourite character because she's just funny. All that carefree character... we all know that deep inside her, there's a story that this movie didn't cover. Please have a sequel, a good one! 

Daya and I talked about it... and we both agreed, we are a mix of all the characters which is pretty worrying HAHA

I also have been meeting these group of people pretty often. Syahirah just got back from Brunei and we spent till about 2 a.m. yesterday, catching up... hearing her Brunei stories. 

She's a property agent. Honestly I wish I got the money to help her boost some sales and also... I really wish to invest in property because it's really worth it. But first, I need some $$$ to do that. The problem here is that, I don't have that so sigh... hopefully in future xx

We talked about so many things. Even up to the point about the trend in hijabs. Apparently Haris didn't know that it's a trend for people to sell hijab now. And we're having this hijab trend. People wearing the hijab for fashion. It's bad, but still better than nothing. I'm sure God will be nice and give you some points ding ding ding just by having the thoughts of covering up and protecting your dignity.

Before meeting my BB gang, I went to catch a movie with D. He was being random, texted me to go and catch a movie with him right after he woke up. That's my movie buddy for you.

We caught Ride Along 2. It was goooooood. Totally made up for the disappointing Deadpool. I made him take a photo of me in front of the Gucci store so that I could post it on my instagram and put a caption that is related to the movie... which I did. Thank God for such nice friends in my life.

And of course, I had to take a photo with Chanel too.

We then decided to just chill at the DC Superheroes cafe at MBS. For the theme, I would give it a thumbs up. But for the food... I'm sorry but there's really a lot to improve. 

I ordered the Catwoman Caramel Latte and Lemon Meringue cake. Expensive, but it's at MBS. What do you expect? Almost $23 just for those two. D's Superman coffee (couldn't remember what he ordered) costs about $9.

I took D's phone and posted this. Playing pranks as usual. Did it once with Haris' phone and now I did it again with D's phone. Because it's just so fun to pull some pranks like they wonder what did I do with their phones and then I would laugh at them trying to figure out what I did to their phones.

God, please give them the patience and strength for being my friend.

I just love how my life is right now.

I feel blessed every single day.

Thank you Allah SWT.

Growing Up Sucks?

Aren't we growing up a little too fast?
Where did all the time go... I'm turning 22 soon.
It's pretty crazy, but really... did my teenage years go by that fast?
Wait, I graduated from college 4 years ago. Are you kidding me?!

Am I happy now? Yes, and no.

Rojak, my current obsession

Dad: Do you want me to buy you dinner? I'm going to West Coast.

Me: Yes, get me rojak mama... lots and lots of fishcake and sausages. No tempeh or tauhu.

Thank God he bought Indian rojak for me last night, and today I'm craving for Indian rojak again.

Well maybe it's because my brothers took some of my share, like seriously eat your own food guys... I'm a big eater now. I don't need you guys to help me with finishing my food now.

Like seasons, my favourite food changes over time. Right now, I'm going crazy over rojak. Specifically, Indian rojak aka rojak mama. I've been eating them for days, more like weeks, and I just can't get enough of them.

My previous food obsessions were pretty crazy. I remember trying KFC A.M. porridge and bought them for over a few months every single day because I was so in love with it. And then I was so in love with daging masak kicap. I told Nenek to cook it for me every single day. She nagged at me but still cooked those beef for me. Yumz, and thank you Nenek. Daya and I also had this craze over satay. Again, I ate them for months every single day.

Too many food craze and here I am wondering why I'm putting on weight. Someone needs to slap the reality out of me.

But Mum and Dad always tell me that this crazy obsession habit I have is hereditary, because my late paternal grandfather was just like this. It's crazy because not only my eating habit is similar to his, but the way I sleep... just like him. I do miss him, though I didn't get to spend much time being his granddaughter. I'm thankful Allah SWT gave me the chance to spend some time with my grandparents. Because all the memories I have of them... they're sweet. Too sweet to be forgotten just like that.

I hope my future children will be able to spend time with their grandparents, better if they get the chance to spend time with their great grandparents too. 

I pray my kids get the talents of two of my favourite K-Pop idols.

Guess who? It ain't that hard.

Tea or Me?

It's pretty late and well... I have an event later but I shall squeeze some time to blog since this laptop is already on.

My friends are fans of tea. They love tea very much, so we all decided to have a good catch-up session over some tea so we can feel a lil posh than usual. I just decided to go with the idea.

I had tuition just now and right after that, I rushed home and had a pretty long nap because I was feeling really tired. Luckily I woke up at 5:30PM just in time to get ready to meet them since Syahirah and Daya just finished their work. Pretty lucky for me, I must say.

But NO. Today just had to be the day I forgot to bring my wallet and power bank out. I was all happy because I thought, "Hey maybe finally I'm not the one who is late for this meeting!" but I guess... I should just really work on my tardiness. Still thankful that Daya became kinda like my sugarmummy for the day HAHA

Haris and Daya

The picture is a lil blur but this is the only picture with them that I have. Oh and I forgot to take a photo with Syahirah. Basically, the four of us forgot to take a group photo. We were too busy talking and laughing. It's pretty amazing that they're all Daya's secondary school friends but now, they're my friends too and we're pretty close up till now right after the short time we spent after Big Bang's MADE concert last year.

I'm seriously thankful for Downtown Line, now I take such a short time to get to town. I just wish the bus stop for 979 is directly at the Bukit Panjang Downtown Line station instead of the Bukit Panjang LRT station. I mean, seriously why make us walk? Or they should really have a direct bus from Yew Tee to Bukit Panjang Downtown Line station, like a shuttle bus kinda thing.

It was a great catch-up session. The teas were good, the desserts were sweeeeeeeet. Syahirah, Daya and I are having sugar rush now, late at night. That's why I'm up blogging.

Syahirah's in a new company handling properties, and really I hope to earn enough in future and invest in property. If you're looking for any property investments, good news because my buddy Syahirah can help you. I mean serious talk, we both agreed on the same overseas locations for property investments because of similar reasons and really, if we both have enough money, we will invest in property because that's how you earn $$$.

Haris, on the other hand, just quitted his nursing job and well, he just had his interview to be a paramedic. As of now, he's doing private nursing. If you're looking for a personal nurse for your daily care, maybe he'll work with you. I'm not sure. That boy is pretty full of surprises.

My dinner for the night, basically.

*SNSD Tiffany in Bangkok for a Dior event*

Nab: Tiffany is having tea at TWG in Bangkok today.

Me: Well we're having tea with her. Just that I'm late as usual.

It'll be nice to get a Dior bag on 12th of July. *hint*

This is me attempting to make it look like I'm lying on Woobin's lap.

This photo reminded me of the photo I took right after watching Deadpool. I watched it with D. He's now like my movie buddy. And smart me had to choose the couple seat and that dude just laughed and told me "It's ok I know you're dumb enough to not know that this is a couple seat but since you're a girl, it's good to be a little dumb sometimes. Guys don't really like too smart girls." Not sure if I should laugh or cry at his comment. 

Deadpool was not up to my expectations. My ultimate favourites from Marvel are still the Ironman series. Maybe it's just the witty character that Ironman portrayed in the movies that got me hooked on to him. But Ryan Reynolds is still sexy. Just that this movie is a little too much on the sexual part which I'm getting tired of whenever I watch Western shows now.

On another note...

If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

Anything for food?

I haven't been meeting Nab as often as before. She's been busy working for her family's business and traveling around with her friends and family. It's all been catching up through text messages on Kakao and reading each other tweets or watching each other's snaps on Snapchat. Since she's living in Pioneer now, it's been really hard trying to meet each other. Come back to CCK already.

Yesterday we finally met after what seems like ages (honestly I'm exaggerating, but yeah I'm pretty clingy you see!) and we decided to have lunch at NTU. I heard from a friend that there's authentic Korean food there, and Daya told me to try it too.

We went all the way to the very ulu part of Singapore for the samgyetang but the ahjumma just had to go "Sorry, finished!" when we ordered for it and still smiling after that. Can you hear our heart break into pieces? Because we're really missing Korea and the delicious food there. 

The food isn't as authentic as I thought it would be. But better than nothing. The portion though, pretty satisfying.

Getting to the Quad wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. I remember going to NTU back then but really, that was years ago. So when Nab and I got lost, I told her "Hey, maybe we should ask someone!" and a guy was walking slowly towards our direction. So I gathered all the courage and went up to him. 

Me: Hey, do you know where is this place called the Quad?

Him: *holding up his hand* Sorry I'm busy. *runs away*

Like seriously dude, you didn't look like you were busy few minutes ago. Sheesh. Nab just had to laugh at me and tweeted about it. I felt rejected boohoo.

Right after that, Nab and I decided to chill at Archipelago Creamery.

We talked for hours there, and really our plans for opening our own cafe sounded pretty great. You know how cafes these days are all overpriced but the food is just... meh? Yeah we hate that. And I am, for sure a pretty fussy eater.

We both also agreed on the fact that cafes these days are winning just because of the ambience. So yes, once we sort and plan things out properly, our cool ass cafe dream will happen. Well, hopefully.

To a much more successful future together.

Love, S.

Just like any other day...

14 February, the day people show their love to their loved ones.

Well, as for me, I'm single. Honestly it is just like any other day to me... It has always been. Because seriously, if you think showing your love has got to wait until on a special day, you need some love help. 

Most of my friends have been bugging me to get to know guys. And really, I tried. Not like hunt for them. But you know, if they come, I try to at least make an effort to try to get to know them. Unlike before, I'll just push them right away before anything even happens.

I don't know... sometimes I just find guys really annoying. Like they're all cool as friends. But when they're at that grey area, I just find them annoying. I can't say for sure, that I'm straight. Because I haven't had sex with both sexes to determine which one I favour more. And no, I don't plan to do it with the same sex because that's just against my belief. 

So really, I'm not asking much. Just prove to me that you're worth my time. I may push you away so many times, but if you really think we both are worthy of each other, then keep on proving to me you're worth my time.

Because I am tired of people who make me feel special for a moment and poof, did you end up in Bermuda Triangle?

Still, to all those in love and feeling happy, I am happy for you. I'm sure I'll find mine soon. Probably at a concert, while he's performing and I'm watching.

Should I list down all those guys in my to-date list? LOL

Downtown Line, the new in thing

I am so glad there's no school for this whole week but the week is passing by way too fast. The CNY holidays zoomed just like that. Can you believe it? I haven't done much studying, kinda doomed but let's pray I can finish my revision before prelims (I'm about to perform a miracle, please pray for me) and prelims is in less than 2 weeks' time.

Yesterday was the most unproductive day of the week. But I had a great time with Putri and Mira. We talked for a good 2 hours. Something I haven't been doing with them for quite some time...

Putri and I decided to bake a cake for Mira since it was her 22nd birthday on the 8th Feb and I was not in Singapore on her birthday. A belated celebration, it is.

We have been doing this yearly bake-a-cake kinda thing and trust me, this year was the best we had ever done. The past few years were crazy. The cakes either turned out ugly (if you think this year's cake is ugly, trust me this is the best looking one so far!) or the cake was too sweet you can really die of diabetes once you eat all of it.

You can say, our baking skills got better with time.

It was not easy to bake this, judging from our really amateur baking skills. Luckily for us, Putri's mum was there to help. And this cake looked really ugly at first. Putri's brothers and her dad saw us trying to save this cake and they actually went like, "This is not a cake, it's a burger."

You see, we were trying to do the whole layering with frosting kinda cake. But it turned out... more like a sandwich-fail burger cake. But thank god our cream cheese frosting turned out da bomb. We didn't follow closely the recipe that we found on Internet, but hey our cream cheese frosting can definitely beat those you eat at cafes (confidence level: a million up, real quick) and we made just enough frosting to cover the whole cake thank god. 

The three of us talked across so many topics. One topic I really loved is... the fact that now there's Downtown Line. 

Before the CNY holidays, Daya and I went for a short jogging session. We initially wanted to just go to the canal but we ended up going for an impromptu long brisk walking session at our favourite place in Singapore.

The lovely skyline and the whole nightlife while you're walking around and sweating it out... best feeling ever.

But the best part is that, it takes less than 30 minutes from Bukit Panjang to Bayfront. And then about another 20 minutes for me to walk all the way back home.

Downtown Line is definitely one of my favourite MRT lines as of now. 

A day before the whole CNY holidays, I decided to help D with his shopping session for CNY. He kept talking about Japan, and sigh every part of me misses Japan more than ever. I wish to be there with him this July but I'm just not... that rich.

Oh and he kept saying that my type of men is old Chinese uncle style. It's annoying, but really if GD can pull off those looks, why can't I make guys dress up like that? Guys need to be more daring and experimental like GD. 

But then again... I'm not that daring like CL. So I shall just keep my mouth shut.

And for that day, I went back via Downtown Line from Suntec. How convenient!

And here, this was how I spent my CNY holidays. Dad decided that we should go over to Batu Pahat during the CNY holidays because Singapore is usually a ghost town during CNY.

We watched From Vegas to Macau III and damn, it was the most nonsensical movie I've ever watched. But Chow Yun Fat is just hella attractive. Maybe what D said is true, I'm really into old Chinese uncles. Dammit! 

But we all know, the one in my heart is still Taeyang. 

PROCRASTINATION AT ITS PEAK.

No matter how many times I tell myself to do it, I'll go... "ok let's do it 5 min later" and we all know that the 5 min later meant days and months later.

And today, it got to the point where I forgot to enrol myself into the revision classes and it has passed the deadline.

I AM IN DEEP SHIT.
