Would fate gives u achievement which u have Nv work hard for?

Fate: What meant to be, will eventually be... But hardwork is still needed to push for it right? 

Final year of studies, and I'm setting an exceptionally high expectation for myself. Though I started (revision) early this year, as the remaining days get lesser, I got increasingly stress, it seems that I would not have enough time to complete my revision? 

Sometimes, I thought to myself: how about relaxing my expectations a little, then I would not be so stress up..? But then since it is the final lap, and you are going through it no matter what your expectation is, why not go the toughest way and hope for a best result? 

Two weeks left, I'm not sure if I would be able to handle it. Let's just pray for the best!

How to go on from here?

Time is running short, what to do?

It is less than 2 months to the FINALS, and I had been inefficient with studying this week. Really need to kick of my obsession with Crime related dramas, cause once you are hooked up, you cant do anything else.

While I was doing my household work today, I just realise that my aim to get a job before the exam ends seems impossible. The fear of having of being jobless after graduation strikes me.

Hais, if it is the case, then what to do? Just sucks it up and move on!

I am superstitious, so I really hope that the fortune of goat this year is as predicted, and I will have a smooth career life! Please~
(God, I sound so loser, but ya. When everything seems to fail, believing in fate is my only way out)

Life as a GRADUATING

Was printing a set of lecture notes the other day - chapter 12. 

Time flies. It was just not long ago that I was still printing my chapter 1 notes, and thinking that this will be my final year. And time is going so fast that I am coming towards the end of my lectures, slowly moving to the final stage of my degree route, ie examination. 

Getting into SIM-UOL, it is freaking easy. Getting out with a good grades? It's tough man. Only people who have been through it would understand. Others might just think that it is because we never put in enough effort(it is true to some extend), just like how we failed to do well in the previous stage of our life. How many will actually think that perhaps our exams are really tough? Honestly speaking, not many whom I met would say that. 

Not like I would care much now, but then I would really want to say this here. 

Please do not have the idea that our examination are easy to score just because we didn't enter this school with good grades like you do for local. Perhaps you should just come and try it. Sometimes your so call 3000 modules is not even equivalent to our level 300 units; Sometimes MCQ is easier than our short answer Qn, as at least you will have 20%-25% chance of getting it correct, while we got 0% if we write rubbish.

Please do not think that SIM kids do not give a damn of their studies just because we are not as competitive as you guys do. We play hard and study hard, cannot ah? Jealous? And sometimes, it is not that we never study that lead to our poor performances, it is just because I'm not academic incline, that's why I am where I am now right?! Tsk.

Please do not think that you are better just because your school is a freaking local university. God. Kay la, smarter?!

So please, if you have a SIM kid in your clique, please do not verbal insult then when they tell you that they didn't do well for their exams. 'Hello, u think easy ah? Why you never get A for your mod har?' Same reasoning right?!

Whatever the case is, with graduation, here comes unemployment. Damn it. 

Scrolling through the job search sites, looking at the requirements of the employers, and blah blah blah. Before I even start to find a job proper, I'm feeling tired that I would want to take a rest. I have a sudden urge to continue studying, and continue to be a potato at home, sucking in all nutrients. But I can't, ya?! It's funny that when we were younger, we always have the thought of quitting school and go out to earn some money, thinking that it is damn cool; but when the time comes, you want to do otherwise. 

I wanted to write about the job search only, but then things always do not go according to how you wished for. So yalo.

爱情 这一回事

一对情侣，从相识，相熟，到相爱，再到决定共结连理 到底需要多长的时间？ 

如果说半年，有人就会质疑你们到底有多了解，毕竟结婚是件一辈子的事。

但若在一起太久了，就会开始看到彼此丑陋的一面，种种的疑问慢慢浮现，如到底你是否可以跟这样的一个人过一辈子？有些时候，因为在一起久了，而忘了什么才是自己真正想要的；随波逐流般，跟眼前的人结婚，过着自己以为这就是幸福 的人生，但其实不然。

要怎样才会知道你遇上对的人，这我不知道。但我知道若遇上的那个对的人，那两人凑备婚礼的过程，不论对婚礼的细节有意见上的差异，应该还是会很开心的！两人对未来也应该充满憧憬。

我不是什么爱情专家，爱情也不是理科，有固定的方程式；面对困难的选择时，跟着自己的感觉走，才是上选。

A tai tai evening~

The cheese platter I made myself!

On last Friday, I went to the Chocolate Bar at MBS for their chocolate buffet. It is located at level 57, and so in order to be allow in, one has to make reservation in advance. So to prevent disappointment, we did our reservation and only got our slot at 9.30pm. The timing sucks, but we just stick with it. 

The ambience was really good, you get to see the infinity pool and etc. But I thought the buffet was just okayy only. I was only impressed by their free flow of TWG tea. I thought the choices was rather limited, even though I read on some other blogs/forums that say they it has 57 different variety. Perhaps there were this many variety, but none leave a deep impression on me, except for the cheese section. There were quite a number of cheese available for one to choose from, and after trying plenty, I found one of it, by the name of 'port sulat', i am not sure if I it the name correctly, but it was great! 

Overall, I thought if you would want to experience how is it feel like to dine in such a refine place, it would be a good place to go. It's a great place to take photos too! Haha it was rather great to sometime pamper yourself with luxury dining! ✌️

I am a very emotional controlled person; meaning, my actions are mostly based on my emotions. 

If you are not to my liking, but unfortunately under my control, it's either me ending up with depression, or you undergoing hell from me. Usually it's the latter, as I grow older and gain more power.

I do not really care if you like me a not, as long as your action disturbs me, I would not hestitate to torture you, making you feel worse than I do. 

You break your promises, so nice treatment does not apply anymore. If it's the pay that you are after, I suggest you don't try, cause you will end up paying more, emotionally. Well, it is just 4 days more, I shall see. 

Am I pin pointing you? Yes, I am! Why? Do some reflection yourself. Are you taking work seriously? Or are you here to preach and socialize? If you are here for the latter reason, perhaps you should pay me. 

**************************************************

Should have posted this on the above mentioned date, but then as seen, I failed! LOL. 

Anyway, I was only a demon for 1-2 days. Didn't managed to have my demon side shown longer. So ya.

12/11/2013

Was thinking of posting something, but I was not sure what to write. Then I think through the various dates I have in the coming week, and realise that yes, I do have something which I would say.

Rejecting a proposal is not something which I would normally do. Maybe because of my character, I would agree to almost all proposal that was suggested. But then I usually accepted before thinking about whether can I handle it. Like whether can I make it, physically, financially, sometimes i even accept proposals which are against my will. 

**************************************************

Once again, I failed to upload it, idk why! Maybe cause I did not complete writing the other time.

Anyway, this shall be my new year resolution then: to learn to reject proposed dates which I do not really like/enjoy going. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014!

FB doesn't make me happier

The reason which I do not enjoy browsing through FB is that I will be self abased. 

I think I'm going through the minor downturn of my life, so seeing how others are fulfilling their life with interesting events make me sad. 

And as known by all, most people will try to use the page to portray the best side of themselves, despite it not being 100% of their true self, ie fake. But does it matter? I am still affected by some of the updates despite knowing that those are perhaps all their happz moment in their life. 

I'm not sure if I am writing with sense at this moment, because I will behave as though I'm drunk when I'm sad. But all to do, suck it up and live on right.

Life at 22

Taken using my iPhone when I was climbing the Hallasan in Jeju, Korea. #nofilter

Till now, I still hve no idea how I managed to complete it.

I has been dwelling over one question for awhile. It is not once that I arrived at the answer at this period, then overthrow it at the other. Maybe that's just me. 

Right now, I'm yelling for everything to come to a stop, so that I can think properly. But nothing would. 

Life goes on as usual. Gonna live with it anyway. 

October's

My October was rather eventful(according to my definition). 

First, I celebrated my bestie's birthday at Lantern of the Fullenton Bay Hotel. The view there was amazing, and we really had a good time there! Happy 21st TL! Saranghaeyo~ 

Ps: I love this photo cus I look slim! Lol.

Then, it was the wedding of my 'long lost friend'! I met her a few years back during an accounting course, and we found out that we used to be kindergarten classmate after awhile! Fate actually brought us back together! 

I am really glad that you found the right one after going through all the ups and downs, and I believe that he will certainly treat you well. 要幸福喔！Thanks for having me on this wonderful day!! Love you lots. See you soon!

Finally meet up with my CHINGUs whom I met in Korea. We have been talking about having a lunch together for awhile, and finally we had one today! 

We talked a lot, which was very much to our surprise. We even talked about how we get to know each other a few months back, ie in the toilet of our dorm. Glad that someone initiated a convo back then. 

Why didn't we took a photo together?! So here is a vanilla soufflé which we ate earlier today at PS as a replacement.

That's about it for October. Heehee not like there is a lot, but it is to me.

Crave for Korea Food

Craving for Korea Food now, though I have just made an appointment w my friends to have it in two weeks time, it did not help much. So well~

The urge of going to Korea is getting stronger recently, but the harsh fact of having no money put out the fire. 

I feel like learning korea language and work in Korea in the future. Should I set it as my goal?! Is it practical? Tsk. 

Whatever the case may be, I shall continue to live in my Korean surrounded world. BBYOUNG! 

😘

There is no makchang in Singapore! Sobs😭

SHOE PARTY @COACH PARAGON 2013

I was invited to the Fall 2013 Collection Shoe Party recently. It was a private event whereby only guests with invitation can get it. It was held at the Coach boutique at Paragon Orchard. The entire experience was pretty awesome. Well, you will seldom feel nothing about being able to attend such event. 

Since it was a Shoe Launch, there were plenty of shoe displayed. Be it MAN's or WOMEN's. (There was a lot more, just that I didnt take a photo of those, since I wasnt thinking of blogging about it professionally!)

Some might find buying branded shoes/heels/whatever are a waste of money, since no one will notice that you are wearing a branded, especially for those simple yet classic designs. Well, for Coach's, they have their logo displayed as below, making it obvious to all that you are wearing a BRANDED one. Well, this really added on to the value of the pair of heel. 

And what's more, their shoes are definitely not of mass production. How do I know? Well, just by looking at the sole of all those shoes, you will see Coach's logo engraved onto it. If a pair of shoes is from a mass production, you will at most see the brand logo printed on the insole of the shoe and nothing else. But having a logo engraved onto the sole, it means that those are  produced just for Coach, value adding to the pair once again! 

So, next time, I hope you will know how to gauge whether a pair of shoe is worth its value. Well, it will need quite a lot of experience. LOL.     

 There was a little competition going on at the party, whereby guests were to post a photo taken with any pair of Coach shoe on instagram. Winner will receive a pair of COACH sunglasses. I wasnt sure what hit me that day that I didnt really bother to pose with any of the shoes, but just spammed photos with all the bags I see! I really have a thing for bags, I guess~ I kind of like the leopard print one(second photo), but I did not get it. 
FYI: The pink/red looking handbag is mine! 

Finally, here a photo of the girl who attended the event with me! Thank you <3 p="">

Take care~

YZ//HP//WS

My dear friend is leaving for UK soon! Though we would seldom meet up if he stays on, the thought of him leaving to a far away place is making me sad. 

I hope u will enjoy your days over there, and don't forget your promise of buying some cheap branded for me! Haha lol! 

Till we meet again, GOOD LUCK!

The beginning of my long KOREA ADV posts

After most procrastination, I am now finally settling down here to write about my KOREA ADVENTURE. 

But then, I have a question: How should I write it? By days? or by locations? Fine, let's not be trouble about it, I shall go by days first. Afterall, it will suits this blog more. Then I will consider whether to do a compilation depending on my mood! HAHA as well as the outcome.

So watch out this space. LOL
ps: it's so hard to write out my first day, cus it was really dry~ oh well, I should try my best.

Recently..

Another month since previous posts, and I am still not able to update my korea summer school, well, idk where did I spend all my times?  <br><br>

Results came out after being delayed for a few days. And to my surprise, I did managed to pass my marketing, not just a mere 34, but something higher! Sometimes I wonder, am I really good at qualitative unit?! For most of the times, I doubted my essays in exams (soci last yr), and yet I pass it. <br><br>

Well, I still dont trust myself that much in doing qualitative unit, so I am taking ALL quantitative units this term. My final term. <br><br>

Chose my timetable a few days ago, and it was a disaster! This is my first time using simconnect, and so idk that I have to enrol before I'm reserved for that class (didn't read instruction properly, but who asked that keep saying one of my units is clashing w another one, which I can't see it at all?!), so I ended up having to rechoose and enrolled into classes with less preferred lecturer. I understand that I am much much more fortunate than others for being able to even choose my timetable or even to get the units that I wanted, but ya, no one will be contented with what they have. And more to mention, I have 3 school days this term. So much of 2 school days being too little for the past two years, I'm sort of used to that! Now 3 days seem too much! Lol. <br><br>

Macro's result was below my expectation, but still I'm taking monetary Econs, as idk what else to take. <br>

POA was okay, but could have been better?! Well, this will lead me to take MA for the coming term. I'm going for balwant, as his timing suits me the best. <br><br>

MSM's was as expected?!! I guess?! I'm not sure where I stand based on my result, but I'm sure that there are plenty out there who did well for MSM this year, so mine is really just okay. Thanks to the MIJI by my lectuer! It really helped me in my preparation. <br> <br>

Like I said, the previous SSCE was screwed, so we are given a second chance to choose/change our selection. I'm not sure if they will open up some slots for the high in dd classes, I really hope that they will, so that I can get in. I just hope to change my FM, pls let me get CHONG pls. The 12noon class, morning class is slightly too much for me to handle. Lol! Too Kuang zhang. <br> <br>

Seems like this year I am going classes alone, like all of them(classes). Well, hopefully I can make more friends this way. Since it's my last year, and the amount of my UNI friends is countable with one hand. (excluding those I met through summer sch)<br> <br>

Somewhat I see a diff in my writing, I'm tune towards a more Angmoh writing?! Haha or it is just my perception, but it is entirely due to the fact that I'm reading Recently. Gotten some a week ago while waiting for my friend, and I managed to finish those recently. <Br>

<br>

I shall get my devil wears Prada before advancing to revenge of Prada! The author can really write very well, love the way she writes and plot. I'm now admiring people who can really write, because I realized that I simply can't, even though I have plenty of plots in my mind, I just dk how to put them in words; I'm not sure which language I shld put them in; I'm lazy. Haha <br><br>

Well, I will write more soon. Ending here for the moment with a recent selca.

BACK FROM KOREA

Annyeong! My newest style of greeting!

So another month had pass by without me updating a single thing about my SUMMER SCHOOL IN KOREA! My initial plan has failed! I cant seems to find time to update my blog when I was there! Everyday was just so eventful and fulfilling! So pardon me for being inactive, I will slowly update it(summer sch) here, hopefully it will give those who are going korea a better idea as to how to plan their trip.

I have really learnt a lot through this summer school, something which I cannot if I were to opt to just going korea for travelling! Though I kinda exceeded my budget for this trip, but the money was well spent! At least I thought so.

First of all it is definitely the kind of university life that I always dream upon. Because of the course structure, university life under SIM-UOL is like, hmm loner life. Unless you join some CCAs, Or make some friends through camps, and your decided to be lecture mate; if not your life in SIM is bound to be lonely. You will go lectures on designated dates then take the exam at EXPO with a large crowd, in which there are probably 50% of them whom you see for the first time in your life. So, I am kind of curious and was looking forward to a proper uni life in SKKU. And the experience was great, even though there were quite a number of projects to be done within a short period, I really enjoyed it! Haha perhaps those who are in local uni, might think that I am crazy, but I really mean it! My friend who went to the summer school with me thought that I changed completely when I was there. As I was totally involved and active in class, and would sometimes volunteered myself for some activities. But actually that is the real me, just that I was hiding that extrovert personality when i am back at home.

When I was there, I was totally looking forward to class everyday! There was no such thing as monday blues, everyday is a happy day. And the determining factor of that is definitely my fellow classmates and my young prof! Thanks to the nature of the course, the class size is small, thus we were able to know the entire class. And there was a even spread of nationalities in our class. The summer school in SKKU this year is overpopulated with singaporean, so in some classes, Singaporean actually take up 80% of the class population. (Insert shocking face).

As much as I want to meet more foreigners through this summer programme, whenever I meet someone from my homecountry, I will feel as though I have found a family member, and would click on with them almost instantly. Only those who have been there and done there would understand me!

Back to my classmates, they are really nice and friendly! Especially those Korean in our class, they are really awesome host! They are more than willing to share their interesting culture with us! And they will always bring us to have the best food in town! It was really them who teaches me a lot of their culture, for instant, one should never pour alcohol for oneself, cause it will means bad luck for that person and the one opposite them. And of course, their drinking culture! Haha all the SOJU, MEIHUASU & BEER! It was really fun hanging out with them after school! The most memorable part was definitely the class party!!! :D I will talk about the class party later in another post!

If not for the reality that hits me, ie my money running out, I might not even want to come back home, as there is still a number of things which I want to do over there! Well, but still I am now back at home! Browsing through facebook, I see a lotof peers are having camps or other various activites relating to their university, I think I would feel crumming if I have not gone for summer school! So I am glad that I did! Smile brightly!

Thats it for now, Shall update again next time!

Friends

I asked one of my friends this question a few days ago: Do you think we will still be friends when we are 30plus? Without hesitation, he said YES. I paused to think for awhile, and then agreed with him. Why am I so sure? It is simply because it is LWS. I would not be so sure if it was some other people, but if it is him, I am sure of that. we do not have to meet often or to chat often to maintain our friendship. And it has been proven, we have not meet up or chatted for the past 5 years, though we know that the other one still exists. It was kind of amazing when I think about it, cause we can still chat like how we did years ago, like we has been together all this while. I really need to thank Marcus and YZ for their parties which bring us together. I know you will be flying off soon, and we will be apart again. So, perhaps we can meet up before u fly off, though quite hard, we shall try! If possible, I will visit you when I got the extra money to do so! Do be a good host then! No matter what, FRIENDS FOREVER! Kinda old school, but ya...

PAPA JIE KUAI LE

My dad brought me to this restaurant for dinner on wednesday! The ambience and food was great, but thats not what I wanna to talk about here! I am gonna thank my dad for doing all his best during work so as to send us(my sibilings) to study in Singapore. It is a western restaurant, and the menu is in English. Most people will be like, so what's the big deal about the menu in English, so did I. I have been living with it for life, going from restaurant to restaurant, ordering using an English menu. It was that night that I realise that I have been taking things for granted. I would not know and understand English if not for my dad! My dad flipped through the menu a few times and ask me to order for him instead. Knowing immediately that it was because of that fact that he cannot understand, I offered to translate for him. I think I did a poor job that night! Pa, I will do better next time alright! Not understanding the menu caused my dad being unable to order the drink he really wanted,and got a norm lemon tea, but luckily I know him so well that I ordered exactly the drink he wanted, as mine though. We shared our drinks eventually. We seldom visit a western restaurant, though we do not hesitate to spend on food,and now I know it is simply because of the fact my parents cant read English and you know you will feel intimidated when you dont understand the menu! In a few days time, it will be FATHERS' DAY, so I would like to take this opportunity to thank my DAD for everything he has done to make me who I am today. I know you have been working doubling hard so that I can enjoy the kind of lifestyle I have now, and I do not seem to give a damn! But now I do, actually I always do, just that I do not show it! Though I did not make it to the local uni, and my English is not that fantastic, I will still strive to do my best in my life and make you proud! If I am given a chance to speak on stage after receiving some award(if I ever have a chance), I will complete my speech by thanking you in CHINESE! I LOVE U PA!

Finally an update from a forever MIA me.

I have written a long post to update about everything, but I failed to save it properly(cause I havent finish writing), and it was GONE! Sign. I will have to re write everything again, which would be hard! Cause I really need to be in that mood to write; no matter what, I will try to update here, very briefly! I ended my exam on late May, and has been slacking around since then. I really did my very best for two of the papers, so, please give me a decent grade! As for the other two, a pass will do, though I will certainly ask for more when I got a pass! Especially for my marketing! God, a pass will make me smiles brightly a entire day. if i fail, i will just retake it next year, not exactly a big deal about it! CALM. the Second year in SIM really go by very fast, it does not seems like a year has passes by, but it did. In Oct, it will be my last and final year (hopefully), then it will be work till you die period. Oh man, how I wish I can idle around like now forever... Like I said, im idling around like some tycoon's daughter while others (my friends) are working, and this sort of life will last till late JUNE, before I left sgp and msia for KOREA! Yup, I am going for SUMMER SCHOOL IN KOREA! Actually not many of my friends know about this, just a few of those who are closer, and I see no point announcing to the whole world, they will eventually know about it. Meeting up with closer friends before I fly off seems difficult, cause I am tied to my dad's shop till I fly. There is 3 groups of people whom i wanna meet before flying, but I doubt I can do that, so some might have to compromise. sorry~ Speaking of SUMMER SCHOOL, I have been researching of all the whereabouts in KOREA, so that I can make the full out of my one month plus. Seriously, I think a month is way to short, especially for someone like me who enjoy travelling, though I have not been travelling much! Hopefully I will be able to find a target in my life through this journey, and start my 3rd year with some sort of aims in mind. I will try my best to update my blog regularly, hopefully daily, when I am in korea! This will be kept as a memory for me and also act as an update for my friends, and to make them jealous!. :p Oh ya, gotta mention it here, my brother joined the dj hunt of YES933 and made it to the top16! Woo! But I would not be around to support him! Sign. Will listen to online radio, HWAITING BRO AND GET THE $3000, so that you can buy the dslr, for u and me! So this is not brief afterall, haha whatever. HP

My way of life

I'm jealous of others, for many reasons! But I understand that I should not be upset about not being able to enjoy the exact same life, cus those were not meant to be.

I am leading a life which a few others are envy of, cause it is simply fantastic! So let's not take granted for my life, and live with it.

Simply love this photo, not just that the jacket is nice, but it is from my dad! ❤
