Not so much of a TGIF

I have a very busy Friday (from 9am to 6pm) ahead. Can't wait for the school part to end so I can run off to meet Justin.

Met Karin for my breakfast+lunch+dinner at Ippudo. I guess I wasn't feeling thaaaaaat hungry because I wasn't in school (Fact : I'm always hungry when I'm in school). Foresee myself spending quite a sum for school later since I have such a long day :( and I didn't manage to find some pants I wanted to get (because I thought of wearing it on Monday -hahhaha I plan my outfits so far ahead) so I guess I will have to think of another outfit.

Time to sleep.

Not excited for my third week

because it's tutorial week and since it happens to be an odd week, I will have 4 tutorials this week.

Spent Monday doing nothing much but I finished my homework for tomorrow and I got to meet Justin so everything's pretty good. I'm glad that Tuesday starts at 2pm for me so I don't have to dread my "first" day of the week.

I have quite a few things I feel like doing and I wish time could come to a standstill as I go about doing them. I will want to spend more time doing random paintings or like to go for yoga/pilates or to just sit down and read but I cannot help but think that I should be using this time to study - then again, I'm not using this "free time" on revision. I saw a groupon voucher on 3 hours of painting at Arteastique and I think that is just pure bliss~

I think if I were to reduce the time I spend on lazing around, I might have the time to do all that I want. :(

We grow into the masks we wear

Unbeknownst to all (excluding Justin), I went to visit again today. Not sure if it's PMS or if I'm really sad but I was pretty teary for the entire day up till the Mookata lunch with JY.

Ok here's a picture from lunch :

@JYYou could have posted this on their FB page

Lunch was a pretty good deal. It was $9.90++ (which added up to $10 and a few cents?) for this set (which was sufficient for the both of us) but the T&C was that you will have to upload a picture on to Facebook. I'm thankful for JY being the one who introduced this deal to me because I doubt I could have eaten this with Justin (it's obviously not enough for him?!).

Food makes everything better.

Eggciting!!!

Ooooooh so I finally got my hands on the egg mousse pack from Too Cool for School.  I really like the packaging and I won't deny that the packaging was what tempted me to get it (before I even knew of its functions and benefits). I didn't get it immediately when I laid eyes upon it though! Instead, I went to search for reviews and all so as to ensure that I won't be spending money on something that I will not use/like.

I like this product for various reasons. Number 1 is definitely the packaging - It's got yellow~ (nope, yellow is not my favourite colour but it's bright and it caught my attention just like how this line caught yours), it has this cute egg whisk doodle (I love doodles! Almost wanted to purchase something from their dino doodles series, again because of doodles++dinos) and the font goes well with it!! Number 2 is because I like to put eggs on my face - I am always looking for natural/diy remedies. My trial with egg yolk and honey on my hair the other day proved to be successful because it made my hair really soft but the part on rinsing it off was kinda icky and idk if my hair smelt like egg after (You can always use lemon to solve that problem~) but I doubt so because nobody said anything and my hair stayed soft for a few days yay. Anyway yeah, so this egg mousse is a perfect product because every time I use eggs on my face/hair, I feel like I'm wasting them to some extent since they're originally intended for my mum's cooking but with this egg mousse pack, I can stop "wasting" eggs.

Also, I bought it because I read that you don't need to have the mousse on your face for a long time and so it's super convenient for people like me who don't bother too much about skincare >,< Some video I watched mentioned that you can wash it off when the foam disappears and becomes clear which is like maybe 2 minutes or so? It was really that quick and it had that tightening effect - like you really feel your skin getting a bit taut like when you use real eggs (not to that extent though, or maybe I just didn't put it for long enough)

It smells nice btw and this one pump was too much for my face so I guess this bottle can last for quite some time. I also bought this mousse because it claims to make your skin egg-smooth and shiny. My face feels really clean after using it and I can't wait to use it again hahahhaha

Ok enough about the mouse already. I went to SMU today and met up with TW for awhile while waiting for Justin's class to end and then we walked n rounds ( n > 4 ) within PS and eventually settled on ice cream at Swensen's. I thought I could buy something from Charles and Keith because I still have the $40 voucher but I didn't see anything nice :( Here's to my second week of school which will start at 2pm so I might do an olive oil (not sure if I should add honey) hair treatment before going to school.

End of first week of school/Matthew Crawley died (in Downton) :'(

My first week was pretty chill. I met up with Kelz on Wednesday after stats and we went to Jurong for lunch at Mado's and then shopped at TEMT (ok I was the only one who shopped. 50% STOREWIDE SALE and the skirt I got was ,very fortunately, in my size and less than $5 so yay). We stopped at Papparich for awhile to take a break - and there was this tea-time offer with 1-for-1 drink! After that, we continued to walk about, looking for gift ideas while waiting for her boyfriend's arrival and that was my very relaxing Wednesday.

I skipped lecture on Thursday because I saw that the module had webcasts (and I later realised that the webcasts on there were last year's). Then yep it was that day when we went for movie and satay hotpot and the curry rice.

Friday was good too. I had lunch with Chen, Chiang and HR at the science canteen. Stats ended at 12 for me and I spent 1 hour waiting for the rest to reach but that was fine because I satisfied my craving for banana milkshake and I had chicken rice +++veg and then soy milk right after so I was really full. I think the guy who was sitting next to Chen was judging us while he eavesdropped on our conversation because he kept turning over to look and I thought that was hilarious - I think we were talking about Chen's wedding plans or something hahhaha I said I already told most of my friends that I will want to be their bridesmaid and he mentioned that one cannot be a bridesmaid for more than 3 times because any number more than 3 is inauspicious or something. That 1 hour lunch break was just full of laughter and I almost wanted to skip my next lecture because I was in such a good mood and I just wanted to leave school already but I didn't. I stayed for Complex Analysis and then went back home to put down some stuff and then left home to meet WQ and we went shopping. I didn't want to shop because I was planning to get some stuff from online but I saw some trench coat and I've contemplated buying it for like many months and it was selling at $15? Conclusion is : I got it.

I spent Saturday tutoring JY's sister and stayed until about 2 plus then I went back home because it was so warm outside. The scorching sun forced me to go back home even if it meant staying home for just 2 hours and then leaving home to go to town again. Justin had class until 5pm so I met him after that and we had steamboat+bbq dinner (another one of my craving satisfied!).

Dinner was filling - not overly, uncomfortably stuffed but omg I should have taken more mantous because I'm thinking about them now :( Looking forward to my upcoming steamboat and korean bbq dinners wooooooohoooooo

Thursdate

I was supposed to be at school today for one lecture - Logic but I didn't go because it's webcasted (My only module on webcast for this semester, sadly).

Spent 8 hours with Justin today.

Caught The Theory of Everything then we went to eat at Satay Culture because I bought some voucher on Groupon which entitled us to spend $15 with a payment of $9?

^ Justin avoiding the camera and stirring the satay sauce

Then we had curry rice which was just across the road (correction : Justin had his curry rice while I was watching him hahhaha)

After that, we got lost around the area and ended up somewhere near to Toa Payoh and then back to Mustafa and finally got to Bugis. I'm glad I managed to not spend while we were at Bugis street but also not too glad because there were two tops that caught my eye and I want to get them :( :(

First day of Y3S3

Soooooo my first day of school wasn't that long because lectures ended early. I had complex analysis from 2 to 4 pm and then pirates (I cannot remember the title of this module but it is on piracy) from 4 to about 5.30pm - I forgot that this is a 3 hour long module so it was supposed to end at 7pm but it ended early today. The lecturer for the pirates module taught me last semester for the SS module. Funny thing is I never knew how she looked like until today because I watched webcast for all the SS lectures and I always thought she was Indian but now I know she's Caucasian.

I will be seeing Hazel for like 3 out of 4 modules for this semester hahhahahah which is pretty great because you know how muddle-headed I am and Hazel is like my personal assistant or something. She helps me with a lot of stuff. She informs me when I need to bid for modules, advices me on the modules I can take, provide me with information on tutorials, helps me to collect my assignments and mark my attendance when I'm not in class and the list goes on and on~ Anyway, I'm really glad I managed to log into IVLE after losing my password for a few days. The resetting of the password infuriated me because I didn't even know what was my current password when every time I entered something (anything), they direct me to this page on setting a new password but I had to fill in my "current" one and I didn't know which was my "current" one because the system also provided me with this one-time password. Then my internet connection just had to die on me when I was so frustrated with this password thing :( Yeah it was annoying but I got it done eventually, all thanks to Hazel who told me that the one-time password was now my "current password".

Hazey and Eldora got me some stuff from China and Hongkong too. I was so hungry I finished 2 packets of snacks + the two pieces of bread I brought from home. They got me this micro blocks thingy - Hazel got me Yoshi and I told her I LOVE YOSHI HAHA (WHO DOESN'T LOVE GREEN DINOS) and she said she chose that for me because she knew I'd like it since I chose a green dino onesie for our onesie party (the one that eventually turned into an indoor picnic with no onesies).

I guess my first day of school wasn't that bad. I'll have stats tomorrow - the one module I'll be taking alone. I could have taken stats last semester when S was taking but I didn't think I needed it to clear faculty requirement. Guess I'm slightly disappointed that I couldn't take Darwin with JY because I waited so many sems to take it but I had to give it up because of stats :(

Mehhhh~ To having more ok<-->good days in school (Not even demanding for really fun and awesome school days. Ok<-->Good will suffice.)

9 days into 2015

It's been long since I last blogged.

What I have been doing :
Watching Walking dead from season 1 to 5, The Affair, New Girl, Downton Abbey (on season 3 now)
Catching up with friends who finally came back to Singapore like Kelz, Aud, WY and WQ. Just celebrated Christmas+New Year with the usual peeps over at TW's place yesterday. We had an indoor picnic on her fake grass carpet. I must have carpets when I get to have my own place in future hehe. It is pretty rare to have full attendance for our gatherings and I'm glad that we all managed to meet up for this one dinner. Hopefully we get to have these indoor picnics for every Christmas/New Year celebration because the last time was in 2011 (I didn't realize until I saw my FB cover picture which was taken at TW's place during our last Christmas party in 2011. Oh how time flies.)

Then I went back to STC on Tuesday with TW, WY and Kelz. We thought we could meet Patrick, our math teacher, but we didn't get to because he was out at Sentosa with his class. Oh we saw our Physics teacher but we didn't say hi. I doubt he remembers us anyway and then had a bit of a catch up  session with our form teacher and then spent awhile exploring the school. The canteen stalls looked weirdly empty and they have lifts in school now (I remember those days when our classrooms were at the top level and we had to climb flights and flights of stairs).

Met up with WQ and Aud on Thursday for dinner at Nantsuttei.
I've been spending quite a lot on food and all the random Innisfree products and I'm not even done with my Innisfree shopping. I want to get this green tea cream because it smells really nice and this mineral spray/mist because it makes your skin glow instantly!!!! I want!

and I'll be starting tuition this Saturday. I'm a little nervous about that because I don't feel very confident about teaching. I don't know if I'll do any good in it but I will try. I saw the topics and I guess I can still do secondary 3 science (I hope >,<).

Also, I'm not looking forward to starting school. Not even done with bidding for now. I still need to get my statistics module and Logic (I got outbidded for Logic noooooooo :'()

Anyway, I hope the new year will be good to me. 2014 passed by so quickly; it wasn't bad but it was so fast I feel like I didn't get the time and opportunity to really immerse myself in it and to feel and remember everything that happened that year. It's 1am now but I think I will continue to watch Downton Abbey season 3. I'm in love with whatever Lady Mary Crawley wears and she's finally with Matthew Crawley ahhhhhhhhhhh I want my garden parties and beautiful long dresses!
