My 2 week long recess week

I haven't had the time to blog or write in my actual diary because time is going by so quickly. For this semester, I am thankful that my exams fall on the second week after recess week so that meant I had 2 weeks of recess week - actually, 3 because the last week of school was just a one or two-day school week for me. I have Logic, Stats, Complex Analysis and Pirates to study for and I intend to SU Pirates so I have these 3 modules to focus on. I'm pretty much done with Logic and Stats so I have this one week to do Complex Analysis (which is tough). I can't wait for this semester to be over but then I don't know what am I going to do with my life after. I do have some sort of a plan but it might not fall through so I'm not very sure either. There was this one job which I got (and was prepared to go for after this semester) but then I lost it a few days later because I felt like waiting for my other option. That job I found was in a tuition centre (?) + after school care so my job scope was to supervise the kids and help them with their homework or to conduct classes for students who paid for classes. The people who interviewed me seemed nice and my secondary school math teacher was working there. However that job required me to work on weekends and I wasn't too keen on that because what is the use of me being free on weekdays when people will not be free hahaha but that was not why I turned down the job. I couldn't give a date as to when I was able to start working because my holiday plans are not confirmed yet and also because I didn't think the processing for some MOE application would take 4 weeks so I had to turn down the offer because I didn't want to keep them waiting for my reply.

I hope everything works out fine for me and that I will not be unemployed for too long because I cannot imagine staying at home everyday for months >,< As of now, my after finals plans include meeting Kellee on the last day of finals, meeting usual friends like HR and Audrey, meet Wangyou+Megz+TW and a few others and go to Malaysia and then ... Kodaline in August. I have approximately 3 months between "after final" and Kodaline and I have nothing to look forward to :( Nowadays, I really don't have much to look forward to except for Daigou parcels. They make me feel like "You ought to survive today because you are one day closer to collecting a dress/shoe/accessory/whatever" and there is some sort of an element of a surprise (though not really because I know what I bought LOL). Speaking of Daigou, I have a dress to collect this week and maybe an outerwear & an inner wear to collect next week and maybe a bag/folder to collect the week after. A nearer goal to look forward to is Sukiya with HR and Aud tomorrow. Can't wait for exams to end.

I need to finish painting my pineapple jars

Soooo I actually went to school on Friday (one of the few school days) for complex analysis and then I just left school to go town hahahhaha so that was 2 hours of school? but at least I went for that. I was so glad because pirates tutorial was not on so I didn't have to stay till 6. Then I met Kelz for dinner at Westgate after I was done shopping at Plaza Sing and we had Ippudo for dinner. I expected leaving Jurong in some shopping bags from TEMT or H&M but then I left Jurong carrying a NTUC bag because Kelz and I went shopping for stuff to add into our welfare packs (for our SMU boyfriends). I didn't want to add chocolates hahahahhaha because I didn't want unhealthy snacks but I cannot remember much of what I bought anyway - a box of green tea? Chipsmore (not exactly healthy but... cookies. Nobody hates cookies. Also, I can eat them if I go over to look for Justin hahahahha)

My Saturday was not too bad too. I started painting some jar (halfway done) and then left to look for HR and Audrey and Tanjong Pagar where we had ramen! But because the shop opened only at 6.30pm so we had to stay in Coffeebean for quite some time. The ramen is actually not bad~~ I liked the broth! So I guess I will bring Justin there someday (HR says we eat a lot >,< ) After that, we went to town for some shopping. I didn't expect myself to buy anything but I bought two tops (oh noooooooo) - one from the kids' section and one from the adult section hahahha I can't wait to wear the top from the kids' section because it's my kind of a bohemian crochet top (LOVEEEE) and with fringe so I got it! I saw something similar over at H&M's but well, got the F21 kids one instead - reduced probability of bumping into somebody wearing the exact same top (HOPEFULLY I WILL NOT SEE ANY KIDS WEARING THAT)

Ok let me go complete my painting and then I can finally seal it.

Week in summary

Thursday
I cannot remember what I did on Thursday but I found this picture

So I can only remember that we had la mian at FEP. I think we walked from SMU after Justin ended his meeting or something. Oh after that we were at Ion and because Justin was craving for cake so we stayed at Coffeebean for awhile where he had his red velvet cake.

** Oh I collected my Daigou package then went over to SMU (where I met TW and Megz for a bit to talk) then we had la mian hahahha

Friday
Went over to SMU to study with Justin and then we had la mian (as usual) at a different store - not our usual FEP la mian store but it turned out that they were the same HONG HU LA MIAN just at a different location zzzz Then we had dim sum at some random shop beside the la mian place.

Saturday
I met Audrey and we went to cut our hair at FEP. I really couldn't stand my hair any longer because it was really messy and dry and all frizzy sigh :'( I feel like I can never really grow my hair that long because I get annoyed at it and then I will cut them off so it can never reach that length (or if it does, it never stays long. Then we were supposed to go 5 little bears because we needed Audrey to tell us if the mushrooms are nice or not (since I thought they tasted bad but HR thought the opposite). Unfortunately, the shop closed down so I guess we will never have the answer as to whether the mushrooms were actually good/bad hahahha.

Sunday
So I just painted something super random today but really glad I did it because I think it will make Justin smile/laugh. I went out in the day with my mum and her friends - I think I just didn't want to stay home to study so I chose to tag along hahahha and listen to their conversations, had yogurt, went to Delifrance for pastry and coffee and soup (mushroom soup that tasted bad. I am craving for the Soup spoon mushroom soup so badly :( ) After that, we went to Chinatown where I got my facial foam, shampoo and blackhead removal gel (funny story, I once bought this same gel for Justin and he used it as a cleanser and finished that tube possibly without the removal of any dead skin or whatever)
