♥A lie still a lie even when it's white♥


Taken from "Lie to me"

I have been spending most of my time shuttling between Facebook's Restaurant City, Gossip Girl, Lie to me and packing up my a few parts of my home (by throwing out those I deemed rubbish, but only to see Mommy pick them up and put them in the original place the next day)

In a few hours, I will be spending 4 days in Bali! Ahh~ Bali, never been there before but it's suppose to be an awesome beach location. While Mommy wishes to follow around tours, I hope to sneak some snorkeling sessions inside. Not being able dive this year, I do kinda hope I can at least snorkel.

After hols, I do hope Recruit Express has something fruitful and not so taxing for my next two months so that I can save money to go for whatever I want to have. I also have plans to go Japan with Family(OMFG!!! I KNOW!!!), and maybe undertake a kinda-not-so-ordinary trip to Bangkok.

Seems like this hols, is going to be one of a BLAST.

*
Isn't kinda sad its also my very last school hols now?

Once I graduate from UQ next year, I really really hope to settle into a decent job with an AWESOME pay.

Then, I'll really work hard, working on weekends and also part-timing my weekends tuition-ing kids to earn some extra income.

At 24, equipped with 3 years working experience, I hope to get a Masters from NUS that will definitely help me in getting a HUGE PROMOTION!

I know by doing that I'll probably compromise my social life (not that I have any), my family time and boyfriend time PLUS it will be really draining. But I really hope that while I am still young, I want to be able to be able to save ALOT of money in a span of 10 years, compromising by limiting my indulgences.

This way, when another recession strikes, I can take the money I have saved to buy a GREAT HDB flat, before buying another private property from some desperate debt ridden owner at some low price.

So still while staying at the parents, when the economy stabilizes, I can rent out the more expensive property - gaining additional income while waiting for the economy to reach it's peak.

And when the iron is hot enough, I can sell the property at some delicious profit. :)
If that don't works out, I'll consider dabbling in shares or bonds which are much riskier, but still as profitable.

At 28, I'll be married in a church, having a no shark-fin wedding banquet, and settled down with someone I love with all my heart (and who loves me back twice as much).

At 31, I will be a proud parent of five three children, who will have everything they want in the world.

At 50, I can start waving goodbye to the spiteful world of politics and hideous people retiring, hopefully complete learning my piano and travel around the world with my other half. And of course, diving everywhere.

Taking from my dad who spend the 10 years building up his business from scratch, then living in a life of comfort now - I really believe I can slog for a continuous 10 years.

What's a decade of sacrifice compared to many other decades of comfort. :)

Hello Kitty Polaroid Cammie

In the light of the passing of my exams, my 21st birthday coming up, 3 kg lost without much effort, I am going to reward myself with..

A hello kitty polaroid camera
*squeals!!!!*
from Mitsuki

Psycho my daddy to give me $2100 for my birthday prezzie
Mommy just told me that my dad has spend 50k on me to send me to Aussie. With another semester and another one year of Masters to go through, he can easily spend another 100k on me.

So why am i still asking for a birthday present when that's the most expensive present he could ever give me.


Right. Scratch that.

For now, just a Polaroid Cammie is enough. Not.

Someday we'll know if Love can move the Mountains

I am suppose to be running now. But I just feel so tired. I realized that even with shopping, I tend to feel very tired after 1, 2 hours or so. It totally doesn't makes sense because I use to be able to walk for the whole day and feel absolutely fine. And with my 21st birthday coming, it's hard to eliminate the "I am getting old" factor out of my mind.

Anyway, coming back(to Singapore) has really been good. I lost 3 kg without the need to do anything. Maybe it's all the nutritious food around. And without snacks lying around, I see a much healthier lifestyle taking place. To top it off, my maid prepares nicely cut up fruits that are already skinned and washed daily. All my meals are cooked with the best ingredients my mommy can buy.

The only thing I need to do now is to start running because due to my lack of attention to keeping fit, I get exhausted real easily, plus the i-am-fat factor that bugs me everyday. I realize that I sleep alot too. I can lie on the bed and promptly fall asleep for a few hours. I sleep 8 hours every night and has an approximate 2 hour nap.

It's terrible. I know. I am like converting to an ultimate lazy bum.

Anyway, exams came out yesterday. The night before it came out - I experienced bouts of jitters and was quite afraid of getting fails in any of the subjects. Considering that I work significantly harder for the 2nd Semester, I kinda wish that I would have great results. In fact, a little part of me really hoped that I would have 2 Distinctions, 1 Credit and A pass this semester ( I am taking 4 modules).

Well, I thought I could achieve it. I thought... and thought wrong. Instead, I had...


Man. The disappointment did hit me hard. That little part of me that dared to dream crumbled into many little pieces. It kinda made me so sad, for a while.

Oh well, at least I did pass all.

(Considering Unit Ops & Reactions nearly killed me, I guess I should be happy that I passed them. Focusing on just that, I will be needing only another 4 more distinctions to graduate with second class honors. Yup, "only".)

For now, I just try not to ponder on it too much. Doing that will just make me feel less better.

Talking about my birthday, it's weird how this year's birthday isn't painted with days of excitement. It's funny how I use to be so enthusiastic at declaring my birthday days before. Birthday was a big BIG deal then. But now, I really can't be bothered, and keeping my birthday a low profile instead. I have no plannings, no dates, nothing. I should be sad, but strangely, I feel neutral about it.

To be honest, I feel absolutely alright with lazing my 21st away at home like any other day.

Perhaps, to confess, the only one thing I am quite afraid about, is having no one wish me happy birthday on my facebook. Because with that happening, it would mean that I am an ultimate loser.

... As usual, I try not to think about it. Should it happen, I'll just take it in my stride. Who cares, right?!

Byron Bay sunrise

My friends and I stayed up all throughout the night on a impromptu arrangement to catch the Byron Bay's Sunrise. At 3 in the morning, we made an friggin 2 hours drive to Byron Bay from st lucia, deserting our sanity with one solo goals to witness nature's gift to us.

I slept all the way, snored even, while 2 of my friends chauffeured the rest of us safely to destination on the trusty 10 year old Ford Festiva.

A little bit of sunrise with the crescent moon still visible.

Trekked all the way to the lighthouse while it was still dark!








Okay. Dinner. Ciaoz.

in the end, you realized that the only person you can truly depend on, believe in, trust with all your heart..... Is yourself.

Saying that, that's why most of the time i feel very alone.



@ 3:48 PM
F-A-T

There is something about my house that always make it seem so chaotic. Maybe it's the fact that I have a walrus size brother that lumbers around, or my my 2 other younger sisters creates so much fun and laughter until it nearly brings the house down. Or maybe it's my mother with her loud vocals, or maybe it's just me.

So today marks the 4th day of my hibernation. I am getting a little bored, yet still enjoying somehow. The laptop is now fully occupied by my younger sister because of sims 3, and I am still fat.

Fat. Sigh. Despite being optimistic about it, and trying to not let it bother me too much, it still does. My dad comes home everyday and laughs at my expanded frame. My mom continuously reminds me to go for a jog, along with blunt comments on how "misshapen" I look. My cheeky younger sister cracks jokes about it. Even my brother, who is overweight by the way, says that i am fat. And it's not that I am in the unhealthy range. In fact, I am still considered healthy in accordance to the BMI Index. So, what's the big deal man. I am just fatter, not fat.

Geez. I have such superficial family.

You know, it's not that I have intentionally neglected my weight this 9 months. It's just that my priorities rearranged during that period of time. I went to Australia to enjoy my newfound independence study, and that was the top of my list (obviously). Exams started in winter, and with the biting cold plus mountains of stuffs to cover, keeping fit was the last thing on my mind.

Before I knew it, it was the 2nd semester. I thought "hey, i am going to take up boxing. Run every week. Revert to what I was before I came". Then everyone started saying it's going to be tough, challenging, and up-to-the-neck suffocating. So I put the decisions on hold. Along with that, I put on another few kgs.

Lucky for me, it was truly terrible - that semester I mean. With my previous plans, I really didn't think I would be able to handle it at all. Anyway, perhaps God did see my sacrifice and gave me decent marks... For that, I am thankful. But I can't live with thunder thighs, and "misshapened" body forever. I can't stand those comments. I must do something before I throw myself down my house balcony jst because my family thinks that I have ballooned. (On a side note, my younger sister said that if I jump, I am going to land on the pavement with a loud BANG! And everything within a visible radius to me will be covered in bloodied fats)

So coming next week, i am going to start a hardcore plan. No carbs diet, Amore, and running around bedok reservoir 5 times a week. That's what I have decided on and will stick to it.

AND I WILL STICK TO IT!!!!!!!!

Home, finally.

It may sound unbelievable. But it's true, I'm home. Back in Singapore, back to the good ol Bedok Reservoir, and back to where I came from.

After 4 months of trying-to-fit-in and getting average marks at the same time, and another 4 months of very grueling semester, I am home, finally.

Saying that, I have decided to hibernate (literally), for a week or two. Why? Because I am so tired and Home is so good. For once in 8 months, I do not have to wash plates, or do my laundry, or eat yucky microwaved meals. Then there is the Family. The thing that is worth more than anything else in the world. Also, not to forget, the Friends, who I look forward to meeting up after I come out from my state of Hibernation.

Perhaps, at the start, I did revel in the gift of independence that comes along with staying away from your Family. But then, as time passed and school load became the priority, that "gift" became an additional burden. The chores are endless! So, I have come to a conclusion that I really hate housework. The only good thing is that I learn not to take whatever I have in Singapore for granted.

At 7pm, my sister is watching the 7pm show and downstairs the ice cream man is ringing his bell. My maid is calling out to have dinner (Yummy Saba fish, crumbled chicken pieces, Lotus soup), my mom is upstairs nagging me to go see a doctor (because I nosebleed again - twice today).

It feels good to be home.

As much as I believe what they say about the future of the chemical engineer's is big money…

Sometimes I just wish it was easier to study it.
