A walk to remember

Sunday
I mentioned wanting to write a card for LKY because he was still hospitalised and I thought he could use some support from the members of the public so Jiayan and I already decided on going to the hospital on Wednesday


Monday
I woke up to the really sad news of his passing so I cried :'( Every article, video related to the topic just made me tear. Not to mention, when I pass by the crowd at the istana while on my way to SMU :(
So I spent most of my day watching the news and documentaries related to LKY

I was deeply saddened by his passing because I had so many ideas on how to draw up my card and the content of my card. I wanted to write about how he needs to get well so that he can be there to celebrate SG50 which coincides with my anniversary with Justin and it will really make that day a lot more meaningful (not so much to him because why would he care about my anniversary hahahahha but to me lahh) :/

+I went for my first lesson for the new math tuition I was assigned to

Wednesday
I cannot believe I stayed through 4+/5 hours of queuing for the parliament! On this day, I am thankful for a few things

1. that I had lunch before going, so I remained sufficiently full throughout the queuing
2. that I brought an umbrella to shelter myself from the scorching sun, but I lent it to the old man who was in front of me anyway
3. for good company. I went with Jiayan because I didn't know anyone else who might want to go, except maybe Daphne? (because we took the same SS module together hahahahha so I thought this seemed SS-related enough for the SS trio) You know you cannot spend 5 hours of queuing under the sun with just any one~ 
4. for the free iced water given out by various companies for us to quench our thirst and also the chairs and fans
5. for friends who were proud of me and happy for me (and also Justin <3 Thanks for not judging hahahah)
6. for a country that makes me feel safe and secure
7. and lastly, for our founding father who made all this possible (definitely not a one-man show but we cannot discount or deny his efforts for what we have today)

Friday (today)

I went to school for a test which I believe I did badly for then I met JR at Cityhall for about 1-2 hours (we met up to have snacks. She had her waffle and we sat at some place to have pau and drinks - I had a hot drink as usual :) and as usual, whoever I am dining with will ask "Why you drink hot drink when it is already so hot?" and then I will reply "It is hot outside so I will not drink it outside but we are in an air conditioned place so that calls for a hot drink!" 理直气壮) before going back to Buona Vista for dinner with Jiayan and Daphne. I think we spent nearly 3 hours at Owl? We didn't eat a lot (I think?) but it was a good catch up and we talked about the usual people and some stuff about life and how we sometimes meet people but they disappear from our lives and we don't know why and how to deal with shitty scenarios like this blah blah blah

I'm finally at the end of the week. I feel like I haven't accomplished much this week - the biggest achievement having been queuing for the parliament (I'm soooo glad I did it. I really hate queuing and crowds and the sun which makes me perspire and thus, dirty but I knew I had to go for just this one and I did!)

Life passes by all of us so quickly, we better make more (and better) memories - and also preserve them if possible.

My Sunday was pretty great. I was out with Justin but I cannot remember what we did except that we were laughing most of the time hehe Finally done with my essay and looking forward to seeing Justin tomorrow and also my first math tuition!

Better

Sometimes I wish I can just be alone - as in maybe move to another planet and make it my own so I have nobody to think about, to care about, to impress etc. I will probably die as a result of loneliness (Assuming that resources such as food, water, recreation and whatever I need for basic survival are aplenty on this planet) but at least on this planet, dumb emotions like jealousy are redundant since I will never have a need to feel that way.

Give me love like never before

So I went for the Ed Sheeran concert on Saturday and I have to say, his performance was amazing and I remember the lyrics to most of the songs he performed so yay I had songs to sing along to hahaha I actually forgot that we were going for the concert because the tickets were bought in November last year? It completely slipped my mind until Aly and Megz reminded me of it. And because I totally forgot about it, I only prepped a day before the concert and on the day itself while we were in SMU hahahha

I'm so glad I went for it because I cannot remember the last time I went for one, probably two years ago for OneRepublic. After the concert, Megz told me that Kodaline will be coming to Singapore and HAHA I guess that means I will be going for another one later this year and I'll most probably drag Justin with me for this because IT'S KODALINE~~~ I will definitely go for it :)

so that was how I concluded E learning week. I felt like I did nothing that week - I did a mini painting of the galaxy on one day, went to SMU for a few times in an attempt to study and met Kellee for dinner on Friday.

I am looking forward to Kodaline because they will be performing sometime in August and that will mark our anniversary. Kodaline on our anniversary month is just perfect to me :') (OH And also SG 50 on our anniversary day HAHA) Megz and I are already prepping ourselves for the concert hahahahah Can't wait!!!

Oh hi I forgot about this space

So today I wasn't really in a very good mood and I spent my afternoon playing dot arena and thinking of how I could use that egg from lunch. I cleaned out the egg shell using dettol and warm water and peeled the membrane (my funny friend texted to ask if I am emo because I was peeling membrane from an egg).  I don't know why but I've been trying to do/make something out of eggshells so I'm glad I did something today. I tried making an eggshell mosaic and I'll probably turn it into a card or something. I spent about an hour plus or 2 painting the eggshells and crushing it and making sure that they stay on the card and miraculously, I felt better after doing all that. Perhaps it was because getting myself busy kept myself distracted from whatever meaningless thoughts I had.

A few random pictures taken while I was at Phuket to end this post! Actually most of the time, it was so bright outside I couldn't see what I was snapping so now I'm looking at these pictures for the first time.

That's the view from the balcony!

Oh these clams were one of the best dishes I had while I was over there (although it doesn't look very appetising in the picture). That's from the first dinner and we had mostly seafood at this restaurant near our hotel.

I miss the hotel breakfast because they serve mushrooms!!!!

The tuks tuks there were clean and colourful!

The first Thai iced tea since I landed

Green pork rib noodles

Quack quack

Coconut with sago seed I think?

That was my first meal upon arrival and we had our lunch at MK restaurant.

Oh look, I had the same thing for breakfast two days in days in a row and I'm fine with it because I love it hehe I couldn't decide between soy milk, coffee (because I must have hot coffee in the morning) and fruit juice so I drank all three. The mango smooth was so nice omg

I also couldn't decide between a sunny side up, omelette and scrambled eggs so I took all three. I could choose between pancakes and french toast - toast definitely.

That's about it!! Mid term on Friday but I'll be seeing Justin tomorrow so yay everything will be good.
