  SEASON OF CHRISTMAS IS FINALLY HERE. CAN YOU FEEL IT? Seriously, i can't believe that is Xmas' Eve today. Today, TODAYYYYY! I really cannot feel that Christmasy feel right now, its like i'm used to seeing the roads and buildings all decorated with Christmas' stuff in Orchard Road and i will be so damn excited because the lights make the city look so pretty at night. Hehehe. But over here in Phuket, sadly the people here do not celebrate Christmas. :(  Its like how can they not celebrate such a joyous occasion. I always looked forward to Christmas because i love the time where our families will gather for dinner and exchange of gifts. I really missed the times when we were younger and i will always beg my mum to organise parties with our relatives so that we can all meet up. Esp, dinner time where you see the table laid out with all the delicious food heheh roasted turkey, homebaked cookies, ham, log cake and so much more. And after dinner, it will...

Yeah finally we're onto the last month of the year again, December. A month of happiness, thanksgiving and so much more. :) Its the time when everyone will settle down and think about how to start living their last month to the fullest before a new year begins.  For me, there's so much to think about for the future i mean my university plans and where do i wanna go after my internship. There is so many decisions to make and i'm still in a dilemma about what's the best choice for me. Do i go on with a tourism degree or business degree? And if a business degree, what degree should i specialize in? And which university to go to? Local or private? And my career in future, where do i wanna work? In a hotel? Its like never ending questions that's been in my mind for this whole time and i'm still figuring myself out. So i guess for this season, i'm going to work hard at my job and do my very best. And in the meanwhile, figure things out and find out what...

Tonight's sky and lagoon view was a beauty :) I really enjoyed myself tonight, so much thanks to my lovely colleagues who taught me how to  make your own Krathong.  Floated it down the jetty by Botega & Grill restaurant and i was so overjoyed  to see my krathong floating on e waters.  So many photos taken tonight and i decided i had to post some because its all so pretty.  Having been to Phuket for internship was really one of the best decisions i've made. It may not be a smooth-sailing experience nor ideal internship for me,  but i've found something far more valuable than just internship. Its the friendships forged and getting yourself immersed into the rich cultures of Thailand  that never fails to amaze me.  ;> P/s So much to look forward to in the next few months.  Happy Loy Krathong everyone! ^^

it's November alreadyyy. Yes time flies and its already like the second last month till 2014 ends. I really wonder how time just flew by every second and minute and day and week until today, at times it really puzzles me. Because i can still remember the day when we just started school on sem 1 and we were all grabbing our FYPs topic wondering whether the chinatown one or sg river one is better. Its like the memories seem so clear but yet when you think about it, it's been like 7 months ago.  I've really been thinking hard what have i done for this year.  Like something worth acknowledging and stuff, like something memorable...and i guess it's about the fact of me trying and doing my very best. This year has been so different?  Its like i'm starting anew, everything. It's like me alone trying to be that girl standing strong and living my life to the fullest. Things have changed and i've accepted it. i knew that sometimes no matter how hard you try, t...

"So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we’ll never know most of them. But even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.  The most important thing I realized lately is that painful breakups, unrequited love, shitty jobs, and the like, help us to build character. And that no matter how bad it feels, we are much better off because of it.  I get it now; I didn't get it then. That life is about losing and about doing it as gracefully as possible… and enjoying everything in between. "

Its like time passes so quickly that sometimes, we forget to slow down.  We forget to stop and take a look at whats around us, to take in the sights that goes unnoticed. We are always preparing ourselves for the next day, minute, second that we forget to enjoy that moment we're in. We're always looking forward to the future but not enjoying the present. For me, i really wanna just live in the moment and enjoy this moment. XX

                            Yes i second this quote. Its like you know how people always hope things go their way and when it didn't, they will just feel like the whole sky just fell on them.  Exactly, this is me. i'm that optimistic girl, sometimes a little too optimistic that i always thought it will be so good if everything that happens to me goes the way i planned it to be. And therefore, the sky always fall on me or at least thats why i thought it to be. END OF THE DAY/END OF THE WORLD. This internship has given me lots of ups and downs, and truthfully it wasn't a really smooth journey for the past one month. A rocky smooth start?  >> Okay that sounded so ironic but it speaks the truth of my experience. At times, work was great like i literally looked forward to going to work which is a little insane. On the other hand, i was like praying hard for my offday to come...

Hehehe yes no doubt about it, it's finally thursday again yay! :) Been looking forward to thursdays lately, well you may ask but thats because its finally gonna be my off days for the next two days. So thankful for having days off, to be honest its like my time to recharge my battery and enjoy my intern life in Phuket.  Apparently, my off days are still the same old friday and saturday and i really can't wait till the time where me and my buddy share the same off days, or at least a single off day tgt. Can you imagine for the next five months where we'll totally not be sharing any off days tgt and our shifts totally different?! Its like all the plans we made for our internship is sooooo going down the drain... T.T And i wouldn't want that to happen either, because i believe that since we worked hard, we are so gonna play double the hard!!  Looking forward to the next trainees got the power meeting because thats when i'm gonna voice out my opinions o...

Hello good morning from Phuket!!! ;D Hehehe finally able to blog after like so long, close to a month in fact. So yeah was able to get wifi in my apartment like two days ago, thank God.  I really can't imagine if i'm gonna live without wifi for like this 5 months. Yes so its been like ten days since i've arrived in Phuket, wow hahah seem pretty long yeah. But well, i'm still adapting to the life here.  To be honest, being here to work isn't as easy as i thought it would be. Back in Singapore when i thought okay its gonna be tough and all, i really didn't expect it to be tougher than i ever imagined. Its like having yourself to go to work alone, having your off days alone like i meant literally so i just stayed in my apartment. It's like you panicking like shit when your shuttle bus doesn't come on time and your work starts in an hour's time which is the timing of the next shuttle bus. So yes, i had to learn to adapt to this totally forei...

Yeah, tomorrow's the day of my very first paper. To be honest, i'm feeling the slight tinge of nervousness now. There's this overwhelming surge of determination in me that make me wanna do my best and ace tomorrow's paper and the following papers.  Maybe its because i know that this is my last semester of studying and i'm giving it my all, in fact my 101%. For the past semesters, i also did my best but i know that it wasn't to my very best of best. Now its the final lap so i'm not gonna give up even until the very last second. I just hope that whatever I've studied is good enough to take me through tomorrow paper smoothly. I don't want to disappoint my teacher as well, i wanna do him proud too. I know myself and i believe i can.  And i really love this quote:  不要轻言放弃，否则对不起自己。 Don't give up easily, or you will be sorry for yourself.  It's what keeps me going, to strive myself to do well. Good luck to all taking their exams, you wo...

So yes if you just saw my title of the post, yes i am really becoming unhealthy recently. This can be obviously seen from my tummy pouch. :/ Sigh pie i really need to start my regular workout to get rid of the tummy fat. But of course, i need to look into my diet as well. You can't just exercise but yet eat all you want, and still hope that you'll become slimmer right? Gotta really find time to exercise every alternate day if possible i hope. Thankfully it's study break now, so yeah i guess i have no choice but to push myself to do some workout/run for now.  I really hope the results will show soon i mean i just can't wait to see the end results. Gotta push myself to eat healthy daily and work out regularly! :D Some tips to be healthy:  1) Drink loads of water everyday 2) Eat more fruits and veg daily (Avoid soda and fast food)  3) Have sufficient sleep (i need to work hard on that!) 4) Eat 5 small meals a day 5) Workout at least 20 minutes a day if p...

                                                                     Hello i'm finally blogging after a month. Heh its been a hell of a month this July, thankful i'm over this stressful & tiring period. There's so much that has happened, and i can't help but think back of how grateful i am feeling right now. This whole month in fact passed by in the blink of an eye, its one of the worst months ever. PROJECTS AND ALL thrown at us and we practically stayed in Ourspace every single day to do projects. Even my meal times we take away and eat and do work at the same time.  Well well you can see how busy i've been and maybe it was because we were all stuck in Ourspace the whole time, we didn't realised how time flew by. Thinking back, there was firstly BCOMM data gathering, followed by ...

Make this the last time.  I tell myself again and again timelessly, but this is really the last time i promised myself. 

你最近还好吗？ 刚看完了第九集的要你爱上两个我，突然却想到你了。 我真的好想知道你现在过的好不好，除了搬家以外，你的生活呢？过的还好吗？ 我们都很少联系了，似乎那种感觉没了。那种我有好多事想跟你说的联系好想不见了。 以前每次我们传简讯的时候，都是有彼此问话，问对方见天的日子过的好吗。 但是现在，都只是我在问候你，那你有时候会想知道我做了什么吗？ 你会想知道我的一天这么过， 会想我最近发生了什么事吗？ 因为这些问题都是我想知道的，关于你。 我们约了这个星期五见，我真的好希望你能来赴约。 我们曾经有个约定，约定说不管现在或将来发生什么事我们永远都是好朋友。 这个约定，我到现在还紧紧守握着，你也一定要哦。

                             Happy girls are the prettiest.  I really love this quote. Today's been a really great day with my girls & honestly, i've never felt so happy until today. What i meant was that sudden outburst of happiness once we started on our agenda  [Arcade > Karaoke > Mookata] I guess I've just been a little stressed up lately, didn't had the chance to just let go and have fun.  But yes, i did it today. :) Thankful for these group of girls by my side since year 1 (L) Never will i asked for a better clique. :') And guess what, i just realised that the best feeling in this world  is the fact that i'm so happy even when i thought i needed you to be happy. Its just so weird in life because you thought your life is incomplete and you will never be truly happy, but honestly today just proved me wrong yet again.  Its like i'm t...

YESSS YOU GOT IT I'VE FINALLY CAUGHT THE AMAZING SPIDER MAN 2 AND YEAH INDEED IT WAS A REALLY GOOD SHOW. Though i do missed the old peter parker and mary jane, but the new cast did not fail to impress me. In fact, i pretty love the storyline of part 1 and 2. Part 2 was far more interesting though because peter parker was with gwen stacey (before the character of mary jane comes in part 3) so yeah love the characters. To be honest, the two movies 'Spiderman' & ' The amazing spiderman' can't be compared because they are two different expressions of the somewhat similar storyline. Though yes he did get bitten by a spider and became spiderman, had a girlfriend and fight off villans and save the world, the whole filming of the plot takes a different stand and i enjoyed watching both versions of spiderman. People may dislike this new version because of the complete change in cast and that there was no mary jane, but somehow i think they failed to see it from a ...

Hello it's me again.  Yes it's definitely a day for me to post because as you see the date,  It's fifteen may.  Truthfully, things have changed a lot as to last year.  I can still remember myself getting excited once the clock strike twelve And then I'll quickly text him happy 2nd anniversary and all and I would  be so happy and love struck and excited because I get to see him in school the next day!  So yeah it feels kind weird because suddenly this day holds no special  meaning anymore and I'm not used to it. :/  For two years, it's been a day I'm always looking forward to and now,  it's just an ordinary day.  I just missed those times. I missed us. And most of all, I missed the 'old' you.  It's getting harder to get you out to meet up and stuff and it's kinda sad to think about it when we used to be so close. We were definitely more fortunate than the other couples because at least we could still be good friends. An...

It's been two years to be exact since teen games in KCP. Looking through my archive and finding our photo, memories start flooding back to me.  Sigh i really missed the good old days, to be honest. Things feel so different right now, sometimes i think to myself, "Would i've been happier today should things stay the same?" This question been's in my head occasionally and i know its time to move on and stuff, i really am moving on. But somehow, a small part of me wanted to reminiscence these happy memories back then, when we were all still so innocent and child-like. I tell myself to be strong always, that better things will come. But then, what if when the real day comes for me to be strong, i couldn't be. What if i'm just deceiving myself in all these lies that i'm alright and i'm living life as good as can be. What if this is all just a way to hide things down to the bottom of my heart and locked away? What if all these while, i thought you...

                                     Hello April! :) Hahahah it's already like halfway through April and finally i decided to set aside some time to blog.  Well, this month's been starting pretty good and i'm loving every single day of it. Things seem to be going well and to add that on, keong is back from tianjin!! :D Hahaha finally we can have some ACTK time and more outings and less dead WA chat. It doesn't seem like five weeks has passed, but yeah it did and thinking about it, i guess i've done a whole lot of things. ;) Accomplishment yeah! It's like almost everything on my bucket list is ticked. ^^ Feels good when you've done something you really wanted to do or been to places you really wanna go~  Been catching up with people lately and i'm glad that everyone's doing well too. Glad that you're one of them that i talked to lately and though it was a really brief c...

I honestly wonder if some people ever realized the definition of "effort" and doing it for real.  Because sometimes, these people just fucked it up real bad.  They do nothing, just waiting for the others to do something and sometimes, its really frustrating. It's tiring for one to keep putting in the effort and the best you could do was to put in some too. I just wonder why it's so difficult for some to just put in some effort, but now i guess i figured out, we're didn't matter much in the eyes of these people. They just don't give a damn about all these, but yet the stupid ones like us just keep pulling them back in.  I wonder why i'm one of those ignorant stupid ones.

Hello, it's been a while since i blogged. :) Well, it's been a really long week since the end of Eoy till now and finally i have some time to myself.  So yeah, was thinking of something while i was watching my drama.  Suddenly it came to my mind, was it because of my stubborn and strong-headed personality that we couldn't get along eventually? Because two strong-headed persons can never get along tgt well and be attracted to one another, maybe that's why we both have walked down this road till today. But no matter what, i just know that i want to be a better me.  Now till the future, i want to be a better self so that people will love me more for who i am. Maybe i'm lacking of certain qualities or not being entirely myself or maybe i'm still changing, i really hope i can slowly reduce my bad habits and be a better girl. I want to be less stubborn, more helpful and initiative, control my anger management, stop saying vulgarities. I guess there's many...

  I can do this, can't i? Don't stress too much over it Adeline, you studied hard and you know it.  GIVE IT YOUR BEST SHOT! ;D #havefaith P/s Good luck to the rest mugging their heads off or sitting their test in a few hours time, may God be with you. We can do this! (Y) [You can do all things through Christ who strengthens them]

"Well you only need the light when it's burning low Only miss the sun when it starts to snow Only know you love her when you let her go Only know you've been high when you've feeling low Only hate the roads when you're missing home Only know you love her when you let her go And you let her go..." Yes, this song's been in my mind the entire day. Love the lyrics especially. Its something that one can relate to and yeah, to love someone is to let the person go.  Been thinking quite a lot lately especially in the middle of the night when i'm still awake alone, is this all worth it? Everything that i've been doing for our friendship? Am i happy with us being like this? Well i always thought to myself i'm doing the right thing until last night, when i texted you to ask about your first paper and yeah it hit me. It suddenly came crashing to me that i'm pretty much wasting my time and effort on you, on our friendship. If you...
