I met up with the girls for a short dinner and drinks session couple days ago.
I texted everybody at about 4am that night and we all thought we should meet up later in the day to celebrate!
Lianie had a promotion at work and we’re all really happy for her too! :D
We had dinner at some sushi joint and settled for drinks at TCC.
And being our usual selves, we behaved like monkeys. Hahahaha!

And by the way, look at this freaking retarded picture of us!
Guess who we are trying to mimic?

MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

Journey To The West!!!
“师父! 师父!” Lol. OMG I’m so ching chong!

Shiyin look super lost in the picture above. If it was me, I wouldn’t know how to act like that guy with beard also!

And there’s something else. Shiyin wanted to do this one first. Hahahaha!!

Buttons tried too! Tsk tsk tsk. Old man, so many wrinkles already. Heh!

Okay and many other random pictures.

Okay now for more normal pictures -

Don’t ask me what the hell Sindy See is doing. I have no idea too! :p

And my family had the most random gathering on Friday morning.
My aunt has finally collected the keys to her new flat at Fernville!
And as a supportive and loving *ahem* family, we all went to check out the house!! Hahaha!
We’re like how nice right! :p

Everybody, including my aunts uncles went “WAHHH~~~ WAHHH~~~ WAHHH~~~” when we were in there!
We were so annoying. Heh!
But big congrats to Aunt Diana for having a home you can call your own! Congrats congrats! :D

After the session, everyone gathered at the void deck downstairs to decide where to go next.
We had to sit around downstairs because the house itself was dusty and there were no chairs.
I thought everyone looked super “AUNTY” so I took a picture. LOL!

(Maliboo looked the cutest in there!)

And abrupt end to the post. Cute Maliboo, out of focus, but still cute as hell!
*woof*

I am in a great mood today.
Everything seems bright and cheery, even the air smells sweet! Heh!
And to add on to that wonderful mood, we have a total of six wonderful blogshops featured this week!
Lots and lots of clothes for you to choose from.
And in conjunction with The Great Singapore Sales, lots of these shops are also having their mega sales!
LUCKY YOU! :p

Happy shopping. You will go gaga at all these sales going on, I’m sure! Heh.

I am overwhelmed with emotions, emotions so strong that I don’t even know how to describe them.
There are so many things that I want to say and I really don’t know how I should begin.

Yes. Whenever I’m feeling like this, it’s always things pertaining to school.
Well, this time is no exception.
If you have read my blog long enough,
you would have probably seen many posts of me complaining about schoolwork.
And in many of these posts, I was crestfallen, dejected, and very very helpless.

This journey has really been too long.
I was enrolled into NTU in August 2004. To date, I have already been an undergraduate for a total of 6 years.
SIX LONG YEARS! If I was a smarty, I would have gotten a Masters degree by now.
This blog is really the place for me to pour my heart out every time I feel demoralized and hopeless.
I was jaded. I was doubtful of my own abilities and determination. And I was very, very tired.

School has never been easy for me.
Being enrolled into a course that I have no interests in was totally hell for me.
I used to think that I can pull through if I try hard enough, thinking that the course will actually grow on me.
But I was really very wrong.
I was a very lousy student in NTU. Academically, that is.
And with this adventurous and curious personality of mine, I ventured out to try many different things.
I guess they made things worse since I am the easily-distracted sort. My grades plummeted.
And I was often put on ‘academic probation’ & ‘academic warning’ statuses in the recent few semesters.

In the blink of an eye, 4 years passed.
As I see my comrades graduate, the best thing I can do is just to envy.
I regretted not trying my best in the past. And I made a pact with myself to study harder.
But this ‘pact’ thing happens at the start of every new semester, and it never lasts.
Halfway through the semester, I’ll find myself skipping lessons, missing my quizzes and even exams (!) etc.
To be honest, things are not easy at all after all my friends have left.

In fact, life in school got really hard for me.

I had no friends.
No study buddies. No lunch buddies.
I cruise around the corridors alone. I sit in lectures alone.
Very often, I would deliberately attend lectures a little late and sneak in through the back door so nobody would see me. And after the lessons were over, I would sneak off before anybody sees me.
There was one time when I chanced upon a forum where people are discussing about people in NTU.
Someone commented that Peggy Chang is that girl who “can’t study for nuts. Retained for so many years.”
I feel exceptionally self-conscious when I am in school.
I’m not exactly a very low profile kind of person in NTU and I know some people can recognize me.
Whenever I see people staring at me,
I would imagine them discussing among themselves about me – a loser who has been in NTU for 6 years!

I’m sorry. But I really cannot help it!
And it crushes me every time I think about it.

I became a different person every time I am in school.
I hate talking to people, and I would hide in inconspicuous corners whenever I have the chance to.
It has definitely affected my life as well.
I try to distant myself away from my friends. Why?
Because every time when we get together, they will talk about their work, how much they are getting, etc.
I subconsciously always feel very inferior when I’m seated there with them.
Of course, I am very happy for my friends.
But I just feel really uncomfortable caught in situations like that.
And these friends, because we weren’t really THAT close to begin with, will always tell me things like
“It’s okay lah! You have the rest of your life to work. No hurry really!”
“Working life sucks. Studying is so much better lor.”
Honestly, really?
Why don’t you try being retained for another two years before telling me this?

I know very well I’m just being plain over-sensitive sometimes.

On the other hand, there are people who really cared for me.
My family never gave up on me – supporting me semesters after semesters.
I always break down into tears whenever my parents sit me down to talk about my studies.
I really want to graduate, be a high-flyer, do fucking well in everything and make them proud.
But face it, I’m not that perfect daughter.

There was also my four lovely girlfriends who were always there for me.

When I received the news in January informing me that I have been expelled from NTU because of my poor grades,
I sat down alone at Starbucks in Northpoint for hours.
I was there because I didn’t want to be seen crying at home. I was really afraid!!
It was like a huge wake-up call, telling me “That’s it, Peggy! No more chances!”
Sindy was the one who comforted me when I needed a hug.
Homie (you know who you are) has always been very supportive too.
He is the one who would drive all the way to under my block to make sure I am okay.
He is the one who brought me out to “drown my sorrow” when I was feeling defeated.
I am thankful for all these friends who has always been there for me. I am so lucky to have you guys.

And of course, there is the one and only beloved boyfriend. :)
The one who would try all means to help me in my studies.
He bribed me, scolded me and challenged me in the hopes of seeing me graduate.
He is brutally honest with me. It really pisses me off at times! But I know he meant well.
I hate it whenever people tell me that I didn’t try hard enough.
It’s because these people can never understand what I am going through and what kind of person I am.
Well, but I guess all that reprimanding is good for me afterall.
Thank you dear Buttons for all your brutal lectures. Hahaha!
It’s not exactly my favourite way of receiving “encouragement”, but I guess reverse psychology works sometimes.
Thank you for not giving up on me, baby.

There were also many of you readers who saw me through my uni days, especially in the most recent 3 years.
You guys left so many encouraging comments for me.
Some even wrote me long, long emails to share their stories.
I read every single comment and email I receive because I really appreciate your effort.
It is such a lucky thing to be able to receive love from complete strangers. Thank you guys.

And after this 6 long years…

I did not pass with flying colours, but I have finally proven myself wrong.
I can really make it if I put my heart to it.
I can achieve anything I want, as long as I try hard enough.
I had 5 Fs and 1 C in the previous semester. Seriously, these grades are really good enough for me.
(You should really see my degree audit. Vomit blood!)

Looking back, I am having mixed feelings about this 6 years in school.
I learnt a lot definitely. I met many people. I encountered so many things and I have grown so much.
To be honest, I really still hate NTU very much!
But at the same time, I embrace it with love because this is also the place where I met so many great people.
Amidst all the unhappiness from schoolwork, I was once really happy here at NTU.

So, thank you too, NTU.

I can finally officially call the upcoming Japan trip my “Graduation Trip”! I am really overjoyed!!
Can’t even frigging describe how super happy I am right now! :D

I know I may have taken a longer route.
But to all those people out there who have once despised me, watch out.
I am just right behind you now and I will not hesitate to give a fucking hard kick on your ass!

Hehehehe! :p

May 27th, 2010 by sixpegs

These few days has been really boring and dull.
My routine everyday is just wake up (at around 5pm everyday), use the computer, play with Boo, sleep at 8am.
HORRIBLE RIGHT!
Except for the two days when I went for interviews in the morning and afternoon respectively.
But I came home to sleep after the interviews anyway! Hahaha! SO BLOODY LAZY!

I met up with Jason for a dinner just now.
He came back from Maldives a while ago and he will only be here in Singapore for another year plus
before he leaves again for China!
And I really got no idea (even he himself doesn’t know) how long he will be there for!
We should make good use of this one year and meet up more often, Jason. :)

I wore my new shorts that Buttons bought for me from Zara, and a new vest courtesy of Hanasecret!
Thank you for the love, people. I’m totally loving the vest.
It can look both casual or formal. It’ll be great for work in future too. :D

Pardon my mirror filled with powder marks! Hahaha.
I am loving my eyebrows too. Heh! I always thought they were a little too thin for my liking.
But I will go tweezer-happy whenever I trim my brows on my own.
I am glad I manage to curb that obsession and let my brows grow back a little.
Thin brows can make one look a lot more mature, and more ‘lian’. Heh! :p

Jason and I talked about many things over our dinner.
And it is really nice to talk to old friends because it always bring back fond memories from the good ol’ days.
Throughout my many many years of education, I enjoyed my time in secondary school the best.
It was just totally awesome! Everything seems easy and simple. People were easier to talk to too.

He then made a crazy suggestion of going for a good karaoke session.
And before we know it, we’re already sitting in K-Box @ Orchard Cineleisure! Haa!

Here’s a picture of me behaving in a (usual) super tak-glam manner.

First time hearing Jason sing though I’ve already known him for more than 10 years.
I have received comments on my blog from some (blind) readers saying Jason is good looking.
(Hahaha. I kid! I kid!)
I’m sure you wanna hear him sing right! HAHAHA! I hope Jason doesn’t kill me.
He really sang quite well lor! :p
Here it is -

I haven’t seen my Buttons for two days already.
And it felt as if I haven’t seen him for TWO YEARS!
BUT I’m meeting him tomorrow. YAY!!! I hope tomorrow comes soon.
Oh! And I have finally finished my Japan itinerary as well! :D
I have been doing it up religiously for the past few nights.
Reading up about the various places in Tokyo,
which subway station they are near, etc so that I can plan the route to take and stuff like that.
I know I belong to the minority because I have never been to Japan before!!
So all you experts out there, feel free to take a look at my itinerary.
Do gimme some pointers if required okay? :)
Thanks so much to few of my Twitter followers who suggested good restaurants in Tokyo for me!
It’s Buttons’ birthday on the 7th June and we’ll be celebrating it in Tokyo!
I’m thrilled and really excited about it.
If you have any good (& inexpensive) place to recommend, feel free to drop a comment for me okay? :)

And now, for the itinerary -

On top of these, I also found information on the various areas I’m visiting, found all their area maps too.
And I attached a subway line map in the itinerary too. :)
Oh yes, I’m still thinking whether I should go Disneyland, or Disneysea or Sanrio Land.
If I’m going, it will replace one of the shopping days. Should I huh?
Q: I can get Hello Kitty stuff all over Japan one right?
I’m not really super keen on checking out Kitty’s house also lah. I’m more interested in the merchandise.
*ponders*

Anyway, lemme know if you have anything to suggest! :)
Many thanks! Tata!! <3

I was invited to a Bloggers Gathering organized by Nuffnang last week.
But the most special thing is, this gathering is not just a normal gathering.
Instead, it is really meaningful and I feel obliged to share the knowledge I have learnt from there.

Alright, to get things going, I’ll just blog about the lighthearted things that happened that evening.
I was dressed from top to toe in black, something that one will never go wrong with.
I put on those slightly bimbotic circle contact lenses because I was feeling vain (and slightly bimbotic). Haha!

What a bad photo. My head looks damn big! :x

The gathering was held at House @ Dempsey and it was really nice to be part of this evening.
Because, all of the most happening bloggers were invited!
(So much so that I feel so un-happening when I’m there hurhur!)

I only joined the Nuffnang family about 3 months ago, so I’m seriously a newbie there.
I felt a little out of place and awkward when I first reached there because I was all alone.
Buttons was supposed to accompany me but he overslept (AGAIN!) so I need to brave the gathering alone.
Hahaha! I used the word ‘brave’ because I can be really socially-retarded sometimes!!
I become too self conscious for my own good at this kind of social gatherings. BUT THANK GOODNESS!
I saw Calvin Loh! He is a good friend of mine and he was there that night
because he was in charge of the running of the event itself. :) I’m so lucky! *beams*

I also saw familiar faces like Velda and Rachel from BonitoChico there, it’s really nice to see them!
I haven’t seen them for so long. But I really don’t know why I forgot to take pictures with them. Dammit.
I made a couple other new friends as well!
They are really nice people because they walked up and talked to me when I’m acting autistic. Heh!
Here I am with the lovely ladies, they are all great bloggers by the way!
Valerie (the lady in pink) is also Miss Earth 2009!
And all three of them are so slim! I feel like a dumpling beside them. *coff coff*

And which gathering for the great bloggers (and wannabes like me, hehe!) is complete without the Queen?
Here is me posing in a picture with Wendy. :)
We actually only met on 3 different brief encounters, but fortunately she remembers me.
If not damn paiseh one lor, I’m behaving like an irritating fan. Hahaha!

Here is a picture of myself and Raine – the one who has been doing a lot of saigang for my blog! :p
And also with Elise and Fashion Blogger, Arissa.

Buttons and I went for our dinner (or rather supper) at Ken’s Ramen.
It used to be really yummy but I don’t know why but the standards seem to be dropping these days.
Is this the case for all supposedly-famous foodstalls?
After you get famous, you don’t put effort into making your food anymore. Boo boo.

Buttons is really great in accompanying me to the event because, as you already know,
the event is to spread awareness about cervical cancer.
So almost 90% of the people present are ladies!
Big thanks and hugs and kisses to the boyfriend who volunteered to accompany me.
(Either that, or he just wants to go there and see girls! Hahahaha!)

And also the most chio picture of me for the entire day -

Oh! And did I mention that we also had our caricatures done at the POCC event?
The artist was really fast and the caricature was done within like.. 2 minutes?!

But the sad thing is – DON’T LOOK LIKE US ONE LOR!!
Hahahahaha!! Don’t say I niao! You can see for yourself.
The person in my caricature look more like some indian middle age woman.
And Buttons’ is even worse! Look like 王喜! HAHAHA!!

But the good thing is, the artist is really good at this paper-cutting thingy.
He just took out a pair of scissors and started cutting out the silhouette of our profiles!!
AMAZING! And I think he really did a good job on this one! (Especially mine!)

And now that we’ve got all the fun stuff done, let’s get down to business.
The knowledge that I have gained after walking out from the gathering is really priceless.
I learnt that cervical cancer is the 6th most common cancer in Singapore,
and we ladies can actually contract the virus in our early twenties!
There will be no symptoms, no signs even if you have the virus incubating within you.

Scary, isn’t it? I thought so too.
But the thing is, there is actually a vaccination that you can take to protect yourself against cervical cancer!

First thing first, I think the most important thing for us young ladies to do, is to get a Pap Smear test.
Do you know that as long as you have had sex before, and is above 25 of age,
you are most encouraged to go for a Pap Smear test.
That is the first step to finding any abnormalities in your body. And also the first step to protecting yourself.
Sadly, I have never had a Pap Smear test done before. And I should be ashamed of myself.

So, let’s make a date and go for our Pap Smear test. It is really important.
No matter what your concerns are, there is no real good excuse to decline a Pap Smear test.
From what I heard at the talk, Singapore Cancer Society actually do free Pap Smear for ladies.
And I also asked my Mom about Pap Smear the other day.
She mentioned that a Pap Smear is really affordable!
Probably cheaper than your midnight cab fare back home from Zouk!!

Okay, to scare you girls a little.
Here is a picture of a normal cervix (Healthy and pretty in pink) -

And THIS is one’s cervix when one has cervical cancer (!!!) -

If you don’t want any cottage cheese-like growth on your cervix,
please make an appointment with your doctor and have a Pap Smear done.
Do ask more about the vaccination against cervical cancer too!
Prevention is better than cure. :)

Okay, I feel damn good after sharing the knowledge.
It’s your turn to spread the message now! Protect your best girlfriends and family against cervical cancer.

Tata! And wish me good luck for my interview tomorrow morning! Goodnight. :)

Many people have asked me about how my skin has improved so tremendously over the recent months.
Well, the answer is actually something very simple.

Use Laneige!

My skin used to be tormented by pimples and dryness. It’s quite lifeless and not quite supple at all.
These pictures are taken slightly less than a year ago –
look at the horrible complexion I had back then!!

And do you know that keeping your skin clean and well-hydrated
is the first step to take if you want to combat against premature aging and zits formation?
My favourite Laneige product would be the Water Bank Essence and their Sleeping Pack.
Oh! Here are my Laneige products!
(includes those that I’ve already been using + those newly sponsored by Laneige)

After being a loyal customer of Laneige for so long, this sponsorship from Laneige is almost too good to be true!
Heh heh! Will continue loving you, Laneige. :)
Look at how my skin looks like when it’s clean and just-out-of-bath fresh, and totally no makeup at all! –

Compare this to how my skin looks one year ago and marvel at the magic of Laneige!
Oh and pardon my messy eyebrows. Heh! :p

Laneige is having some exciting activities along Orchard Road this May.
Do strike a pose and snap a picture with the giant Water Bank Essence replica
and be one of the 15 lucky participants to win attractive Laneige prizes,
if you upload your picture online to this website!

Details are as follows:
Date: 22 & 23 May 2010 (Saturday and Sunday)
Time: 12pm to 6pm
Location: Outside Wheelock, ION, Ngee Ann City, Mandarin Gallery, Heeren & also 313 Somerset.

If you’re troubled about dry skin, really do try Laneige out because honestly, it really helped my skin a lot! Cheers!

These are actually paper cuttings!
The artist just snip these out of black paper, and it only took him less than a minute for each cutting. Amazing!
And these are just part of the fun at the Power Over Cervical Cancer Bloggers Gathering held on Wednesday.
It was my first time meeting so many other female bloggers, and it was such an eye opener.
Inevitably, I felt a little left out when I first got there since it’s my first time at such a gathering.
But  it was really awesome to see many other famous bloggers in person! And they were really nice and friendly. :)

And on top of all that, the most valuable thing I gained is my new found knowledge about cervical cancer!

Will blog about this soon when I have more time on hand! Stay tuned. ♥

I met up with my JC classmates earlier this week.
It has been such a long time since I have last seen them, and it’s really nice to know everyone’s doing well now!
Everyone still looks the same. Heh! And that’s definitely a good thing. :)
And I got a new haircut as well. Shorter and neater. Easier to manage too!
I love it! Oh but sorry that the light made my face look ghostly in the second picture. Haha!

Heard that one of my ex-classmates is getting married too.
Being 24 (alright, 25) is really scary because everyone around you is getting hitched!
Heh! BOY, we’re all growing up already! Growing old in fact.
But I’m really happy for you girl.

Hope you’ll have all the happiness in this world. :)

We had dinner and drinks at Orchard ION.
We wanted to make plans for midnight mahjong (I am seriously itching for a good mj session btw),
but instead, I met up with homie XW again for a drink or two. :p
Beer on Monday is simply god-sent. Period.

Cheap beer at Cuscaden Patio. Good people, cheap beer and lots of flags to play “Name the country” game.
Hurhur!

I think we had 5 jugs in total. *burp* Yummeh!
But that didn’t do much damage to us anyway, and I camwhored when I got home. Muahahahaha!

I am loving my new hair, do you like it too? Hee.

And after all that action, I wasn’t sleepy at all last night.
I started on a Taiwanese drama (YES I HATE MYSELF FOR DOING THAT!) and watched 8 episodes at one go!
I slept at 1PM! Yes I watched through the night.
But damn it’s such an addictive show! It’s called ‘Down With Love’ (I think) by Jerry Yan and Ella.
CUTENESS. Hehehe!

& with my sleepyhead, I met up with the most lovely girlfriends to celebrate Sinsin dear’s birthday.
It’s just a small-time belated celebration, hmm.. probably more of a get-together instead of a celebration.
It was really nice though, we had dinner at Waraku and headed over to TCC for sweets.
Every damn thing is nice with these girls lah! LOVE YA’LL. :)

And to the most beautiful Sinsin dear, hope this coming year will be a wonderful and fruitful year for you.
But sigh, we’re really getting old already.
When we were younger, we’d wish for beauty, good grades in school or something along that line.
But now at this ‘quarter-life-crisis’ age and in this competitive society,
Sinsin dear knows exactly what is the most practical thing to wish for:

Hahaha! “Huat ah!!” :p
Whatever it is, whether we celebrated it late or not, hope it’ll be a great year ahead for Sinsin. :D

Other than that, I also received my SIXPEGS necklace at last!
Thanks so much to MyLittleBow, I love it to bits! :D

Everybody has been asking me about the name necklace I got, well now you know!
Go make your own too, it’s really pretty in real life! :)

Buttons and I had really good French food for dinner last evening at Serene Centre.
This is just my second time at La Petite Cuisine but I am already so much in love with the food here!
We had soup and a cheese platter for starters.
I had my Sea Prawns with mustard and butter rice, Buttons had Sirloin Steak served with gratin.
Super yummy!
It is just a small eating place located at the corner of Serene Centre but
I would really recommend anyone who loves a good and affordable French meal to head there!

La Petite Cuisine
#01-05 10 Jalan Serene Serene Centre S(258748)
Tel: 6314 3173

And since we’re already at Serene Centre, we had ice cream from Island Creamery too.
But the kids there can be really noisy and annoying sometimes.

Not much updates these two days because I’ve been cooped up at home all day PAINTING MY ROOM!!
I’ve always wanted a really dark and ‘mysterious’ looking room,
and I love how the studios are always painted in black.
Some told me that the room will look gloomy and depressing in black,
but I still went ahead with my insane plan and painted my room black!

This is the original colour of my bedroom -

It looks really sucky because I pulled out the old posters that were on the wall initially.
But yeah, you get the drift. The colour is getting ‘dirty-looking’ and it needs a new coat badly!

SO, VOILA! Welcome to the dark side!

I was a little scared after I finished painting the first wall because it looks quite bare and weird.
But the colourful posters and photos I have really did improve the look by a lot!
And of course, I didn’t paint all 4 walls black lah.
I left the white wall alone. :) But I think I’ll be developing more B&W pictures to be framed up for this wall!
I can’t wait!!

I’m so happy (and proud of myself) that I painted the whole damn room all by myself!
And I did it with a brush okay – no rollers!
Thank God for Yoko-Yoko if not my near-non-existence muscles will be killing me by now.
How do you like my black walls? :p

Oh and that aside, I saw this ridiculous video on Facebook!
Thought I’ll just share it here just in case some of you haven’t seen it yet.
Show them to your husbands and boyfriends, and they will appreciate you even better!
There are such monster girlfriends out there, I can’t believe it!!
And this guy is too much of a disgrace also lah.
I’ll be ashamed of him if I got a son like that!!

Hello there dear ladies! This week I have a new shopping mall to recommend you all!
With all the craze about online shopping these days,
I’m sure you do get a bit tired of constantly switching windows
and always remembering when to visit your favourite online shops for updates, eh?

Well, with Jipaban (the name just cracks me up everytime!) around now,
you get a streamlined shopping experience like no other!
Whether you’re a shopper (I think that’s most of us :p), retailer or advertiser,
Jipaban helps to bring everything under one roof,
kind of like an online ‘virtual mall’ where visitors can add ‘shops’ to their list of favourites,
creating their own ‘mall’!

Check out some of the shops that I’ve added to my very own ‘mall’ after just a few minutes!

What I like is this cute button called the ‘egg-on’.
It’s like you can see how many people ‘root’ for the product before you buy it!
Heh you can see I’m really tempted to get a Blackberry Bold! I’ll just ‘egg’ it on for now.

This online mall will appeal to more than just us, ladies! (good to shut up the bf/husbands :p)
There’re a whole host of shops for you to choose and customize your own mall to -
Buttons was busy checking out these apparels while surfing on Jipaban.

Basically, the possibilities are limitless!
As long as there’s a retailer registered with Jipaban, you can be sure to find any type of product you want!
Check out the Anchor Tenants! They are BonitoChico, Ohsofickle, Ohmymuffins and Access-ed!

Jipaban has also provided 2 videos to showcase
the shopping experience of a shopper and the selling experience of a retailer.
I can totally relate to them.
Watch them and be instantly enlightened on how to do your shopping and selling on Jipaban!

To keep yourself in the loop, do remember to follow Jipaban on Twitter or be a fan on their Facebook Page!

Post-examinations life is almost too liberating to believe.
I seriously got nothing else better to do these days except to stay at home, surf the net and be a parasite.
But I have started looking for a job too, so don’t assume that I’ll be a couch potato for life! :p
I’ve got a job interview coming up this Wednesday. *fingers crossed*
I am honestly quite nervous when it comes to interviews.
The last time I went for an interview, I actually didn’t give them my Cover Letter and Resume!
Can you believe it?! Who on earth goes to an interview when the company don’t even have your Resume!
I think NTU will be ashamed of me. Lol.

I have so much expectations for my future.
But at the same time, I am feeling a little fearful about what is about to come.
I know that I have had bad grades back in school, and that will seriously be a huge hurdle I’ll have to conquer.
Well that aside, I just really hope I can clear my 5 remaining modules this semester.
PUHLEEAASSEE!!

Alright blah. Let’s talk about happier stuff.
I met up with my homie last week but only decided to put up this pictures in this blog entry.
There’s something very annoying about him because he cannot reveal his face (because of his occupation),
and so I had to do a little coverage for his annoying face. Lol.

And I brought my new gorgeous clutch out for the night.
I love the dusty pink colour and the material is just totally great as well!
Big thanks to Electric Love Letter for the love.

I also accompanied Buttons to his cousin Shawn’s 21st birthday party!
Not much pictures from there because Buttons is wearing glasses and
he is too vain to be caught in a photograph with his glasses on.
So here is one with his eyes cut off – HAHAHAHA!!
Totally help save the trouble of ‘post production processing’! :p

We left the party early and swung by IKEA for some totally impromptu last minute shopping.
Bought a lot of stuff within the one hour that we’re there! We’re awesome. :p
I love IKEA! Everything about it is so cool. Heh.
I love checking out the color of the paint they use on the display areas as well.
Do you know that they actually put the code of the paint they use at the side of the wall?
It’s a good way to choose a good color for your room if you’re bad at visualizing.

Dinner at Imperial Treasure @ ION. Buttons is obsessed with their roast duck noodles.
And I’m crazily in love with the Beef Brisket with Steamed Rice Rolls. YUMMY!

Alright and something very random to end this post.
I saw this two pictures outside some drama school for kids.
I seriously don’t understand why adults like to make their children look like adults!
They are just KIDS for heaven’s sake. Just see this picture and you’ll understand why I’m saying this.

Goodness gracious. Let them grow up at a normal pace please.
I’d hate my mother if she did this to me when I was a kid.

Kthxbye.

Thanks for giving me such a happy family. ♥

We had a hearty meal at Mayim at Northpoint just earlier today.
It’s like a double dinner for Buttons and me because we went for Chong Pang Nasi Lemak prior to that.
Buttons had some major craving for that so we couldn’t wait any longer. Lol!
We’re like totally addicted to Chong Pang Nasi Lemak can!!!

Anyway, here are some pictures taken over dinner.
I’m wearing my new top from One Two Chic,
it’s this romantic lace top that I absolutely adore. Gorgeousssss! :*)

Enjoy the photos, people.

My parents’ portrait. Look really pretty aye?
But look further to see how much pain it took to take a good picture for them! Hahaha.
