Its 30th december 2015 and in exactly 2 days, it will be 2016, Sigh i cant' recall how quickly time flies since like 2015 started. Its seems like every year passes by faster and faster and i'm constantly trying to grasp on the memories made in that year, telling myself to always cherish the good memories and forget the bad ones. To tell myself that life's constantly changing and that you have to go with the flow as well.  I'm someone who doesn't like changes, to be honest, i would love to stay in my comfort zone.  But as i grew up, i knew that one can't stay the same forever. Even if i decide not to change, the things and people around me will still change. Change is what makes things better than it is before and gradually i learnt to accept it. Like how when one falls in love for the first time, it changes your life forever. You will never forget your first love because that's how you know that nervous yet excited feeling when he first holds ...

Feeling so lazy today i guess its the effects of staying home e entire day on a Sunday.  I remembered telling myself one day, i'm gonna have the whole Sunday to myself and go out get an ice cream and read a book. Just can't w8 for that day to come! #after14dec Its countdown -8 days to final year and to be honest, i wonder how everything will turn out to be. Will exams be manageable? Will i be able to do the papers well and leave the exam room with confidence? So much things runnning through my mind but i'm just gonna tell myself that this is a brand new start and i'm just gonna do my best. I really hope this time, i am able to understand the lessons i've learnt for e past few weeks and apply whatever i've learnt. Most importantly, i do hope i don't panic in e midst of exams. Especially for finance or HR. But lets do this.  I think the hardest thing is telling yourself that sometimes its okay to fail, that failures are part of the journey to success...

Hi there, f inally I'm here cuddled up in my cozy bed blogging on a weekday night.  Feels nice to relax after a long day in school and it's been real long since I last did such things in which I mean just laying down in bed and listening to spotify and just having some me-time. ;)  It's coming to the end of October and somehow I'm into this stage of reminiscene and nostalgia. It feels like all the past one year memories is flooding into my head. After receiving that phone call, the last studying semester memories began to emerge. It's like I could close my eyes and visualise the things we've been through all tgt as a project team when Xuan was still with us. #中国派 there's so much that we have done tgt and I still can remember clearly the months we spent on our FYP in school especially our space and boat quay.  If only time could rewind? :')  Sometimes it's like things happen and when you look back, you realise it's the small little things that mak...

HOLLA!  Gosh totally didn't have a clue that its been two months since i updated my blog.  Anyways i've finally started school like after almost a year of not studying since internship started and my long 7 months break, its been a real long time away from school and now coming back to start a whole new phase of life ain't easy. To be honest, it's tough, like real tough that i think i broke down so many times as compared to being in poly. It's like uni seems to be sucking the life out of me, even when i started school on the first day. :/ My brain was literally drained by the end of lesson and i was figuring how am i gonna survive till the end of the trimester. I remembered me and nicole making an appointment to talk to our professor regarding this and he said something about us still trying to settle down for school so he will give us a couple of weeks to get used to the pace of school and should it be that bad, to talk to him again.  And here i am...

Holle!  Hahaha it's one day to Singapore's 50th birthday. :D  Hehehe can't believe how fast it's already august but yeah I'm so excited!!  Just ended work and am on my way back home to find my family for dinner. Yes another thing to be excited about, finally heading off to eat all tgt. ☺️  If a year ago and you tell me I will be working my ass off on the jubilee weekend, I will say hell no.  But yet look at today. 😂  I'm gonna work my ass off for four days straight for the entire jubilee weekend. Can't believe it myself why I actually decided to put shift. Tryna not regret my decision. 😅  So glad I'm working with the people I really like for the next two more days.  I guess having really nice colleagues is really important when it comes to your job. If not I doubt I will be enjoying work as much just like today. 😊  And yeah Halloween is coming too hehehe I'm definitely gonna attend this year Halloween can't wait!! ;-) Been like three years...

Heyyyy, finally decide to blog again after like almost a month? Anyways life been good thus far. #thankful Work has been rather alright, even though i've been working like a lot lately. 4-5 times a week for this month?  Been starting to get comfortable and all with my colleagues and sometimes, i even looked forward to going to work which is rather rare for me. Usually i dread going to work, but now i'm excited for it. But maybe that's because of the people on shift that particular day. :) Lately, i've been stressing on keeping fit too. Its like i have this insane addication to want to keep fit and workout. Been telling myself to lose weight and all. Sometimes i think i tend to lose myself within this whole craziness of wanting to slim down and stuff. I might have a disorder one day if i keep aiming to lose weight. I guess the whole idea is to be healthy and fit. Weight does matter to some extent, but ultimately is how you feel about your body. And i feel goo...

7.57pm -  Still on e bus ride home from harbourfront. It's been almost an hour on e bus and I'm still not anywhere near home. 😅 Why did I choose to take the bus home today.  Anyway it's been a good day at work today. Work was alright just that some guests really pissed me off towards the end of my shift. Sigh I guess I've always have things to bitch out after work. Makes me kinda miss the days during internship. I don't exactly miss working so hard during internship, but the days spent in Phuket with e Angsana interns. Was so happy to finally see them two days ago ☺️ I guess it's really a bond we formed over intern that made us to want to keep meeting up even after it all ended. Maybe it's just me initiating the meet up, but still I really missed their company at times.  I can still remember myself going for internship with a worrying heart because I didn't know what to expect and all, but ended up coming back home with a whole lot of preciou...

It's Saturday!! Hehehe 6th of June.  Can't believe how fast time flies and it's already halfway into 2015. 😌 Now am train-ing back home after work. So thankful work has been good today and I'm finally going home early before the sky darkens. ;)  And guess what, TOMORROWWWWW.  Hahah I'm so freaking eggcited right now hehehe I just can't wait for tomorrow to come. It's just 3 months ago, I remembered me and Fiona making that impromptu decision to fly back to Phuket. All because of a wedding. Our AM's wedding and honestly, I'm so thankful for this wedding.  It kinda gave us a chance to go back to the place we interned at.  And I really miss Angsana a whole lot. :')  Especially the people there. My villa girls.  ☺️ It's true that I gained some sort of attachment to Phuket and I really missed everything there. In fact, I'm even wearing the Phuket marathon shirt right now 😂 hahaha just so looking forward to this trip that I have no idea what ...

I miss you. I really do. Ever since the day we started talking, my affection for you has grown tremendously over time. I've never thought that i would get this attached to you at all. But i was wrong. I guess its time to let it go, i shouldn't be selfish. You deserve your happiness and so do i. I will miss you a lot.  But it's for the best. 

It feels great when it's raining late into the night. 2.23am and i'm still awake. Yeah its like exactly a day away from my Taiwan trip and i am so looking forward to it! It's amazing how fast time goes by that within the blink of an eye, its already May. So it's been like almost 4 months since i ended my internship, but it doesn't felt like it at all. Well, i'm just thankful that everything's been going smoothly in my life. Everything that i was worried about initially was solved eventually. So much gratitude i'm harbouring to God and my late grandfather for blessing me with a good part-time job and a school. I'M GONNA BE A UNIVERSITY KID GUYSSSSS. CHEERS FOR ADEL!!! Yes its a miracle how that i'm going to step into another milestone of my life journey and continue with university education. It seems so surreal that i'm heading to another school after poly, because i never placed high hopes into getting into the school in fact. I...

Hello there. How's life everyone? Been scrolling instagram and facebook lately, and it seems like everyone's so caught up in their own lives and all. The ones who's been travelling avidly makes me go so jelly of them honestly!!! Its like the places i've seen are either korea or bangkok.  And i've been dying to go bangkok for ages, since last year in fact. T.T But i'm gonna be patient and wait for my turn. I'm gonna go there soon. Soon. ;)  And yeah back to today, finally met up with T and Kueh! ^^ Loved times like these when we just decide to meet for dinner and all and lepak after that. Catching up with the people who matter a lot to you really does feel good after all these while.  And i'm truly thankful that we're still meeting up and putting in effort to meet every now and then, even when everyone's busy with their own lives. To me, it matters a lot because i really value quality time with my loved ones. I will try my best to ma...

So much feel to blog tonight.  Its the 14 March 2015, 11:30PM.  Wow its like this month seem to fly by so quickly without me realizing, half the time spent waiting for that 'phone call' which arrived thankfully on the 12th. (Y) #PraisetheLord Super duper grateful and thankful the HR remembered to call me and informed me the things i needed to know regarding my new job! ^^ Yeap, Adeline is gonna be hired and starting her work soon yay. Honestly, im really eager to start working because i really need some moneyy $$$$, its like i'm so desperate for it even though i've already saved pretty much from internship. T.T Cries. I guess this is all gonna be spent for a good cause. TRAVELLING :) Ever since going abroad for internship, i really love travelling a lot more than i loved.  Travelling really broadens my perceptions, the way i see things and how i go about thinking about everyday life.  Since young, i'm always a patriotic girl of Sg and even until now, i...

“ Every day I discover more and more beautiful things.  It’s enough to drive one mad.  I have such a desire to do everything, my head is bursting with it. ” 

Finally back to the sunny island. ;)  Yes I'm back Singapore, for real finally back home.  It seems surreal but like I've been back for a week already. Time flies. It's also been two weeks since I ended the last day of internship at Angsana Laguna Phuket.  For the five months I've spent in Phuket was indescribable. It was an internship I've never trade for anything else. Making the decision to go abroad to work was a right one for me, even when the people so close to me, my relatives and friends didn't supported me because of the long distance away and the fact that it's gonna be real tough. But I accepted it.  I accepted the challenge to step out of my comfort zone, to take on this internship because I really wanted to see if resort was the path I wanted to pursue in the future.  And guess what, after five months of working in this resort, I found out the answer.  YES!! Hell yes I want to work in a resort. ;D It sure took me long enough to realize what I t...

Have you ever felt that moment when you're so at peace with yourself that it somewhat feels impossible to achieve it? Yeah, that's totally what i'm feeling right now. Total peace and calmness within me. It's like your mind's so crystal clear and you don't have to think about anything at all, no worries or any sort of stuff. It's like that perfect time for you to do your math paper, because i remember clearly back in secondary school when we were about to have our math test and suddenly that morning i felt like my mind was so clear and that the only thing i had on my mind was to ace the test. Its like all your energy and focus is zoomed into that one thing you gotta do, and bang, you just did it so well. This feeling is so indescribable, i mean its amazing to feel this way at times. You just relax and do the things you wanna do. Life gets complicated and difficult and so when you get these rare moments of your mind being so crystal clear and you just fe...
