I BEG TO DIFFER

My Sunday mornings. To spam my lover with my just-wake-up face hehehe, lovin' my Sunday morning bedhead because it always ends up falling in place. My dear head, maybe you can try to be like this too everyday, not only Sundays.

So today was my first school day Monday (so many "days" in a sentence HAHAHAHA). Skipped the first one because of CSOP, its hilarious how one of my lecturers called it "See-Sob" when everyone calls is C.S.O.P Hahahhaha! Nam & I burst out into laughter upon hearing that. Eh don't play play, OIC in class eh hahaha.

Just like my title of this post, "I beg to differ..." I initially thought that I would have the Monday Blues but right now, officially 12AM, I would say " I beg to differ."

Luckily for me, school ends @ 1pm every Monday & Tuesday kekeke and Mr Shai ended class 50 mins earlier so that made my Monday even better!! Bused down to Sixth Avenue to catch up a shuttle to Grandstand. Eunice is working there so I decided to drop by & wait for her to end work @ 5. It's been quite some time since we met, well not thaaat long maybe a week but that's long enough for me.

Finally got the chance to try out Omasake burger after so long! Been wanting to try it but never dragged my lazy self down to do so. Kinda pricey for a fast food meal $20 plus cause they don't offer set meals, everything is ala carte. But if you get a burger, fries & drink, you'll have a $1.90 off.

If you asked me, the quality of the burger was really good & I wished the burger was a lil bigger but the beef patty was really really good.  With each bite you take, the juice from the meat oozes out of the patty, yum in my tum! The cheese fries was really good too & the portion was huuugggeee. It wasn't that jelat as compared to other cheese fries but I can't wait to head back to try others on the menu!

So I had 4 hours plus to kill before Eunice ended work so I caught up on some of my TV shows, read my book and headed over to Eunice's shop to chit chat with her & her colleague. Bumped into my classmates & two of my lecturers as well hahaha.

Her colleague Sue Li was really really friendly & I was very surprised that we could clique with her really really well. A super nice & funny girl to work with & also a North sider.

Saw this on their display & I took a snap of it and send it to Kai because I miss him more than usual today :( Felt like I've not seen him in ages though we were together for the whole of Saturday. He says its because I've been having too much alone time than usual so maybe it's kickin' in. But that's kinda true, for the past few weeks, we only met twice or thrice weekly.

Is that the normal days couple meet because we used to hang out/go out and basically just together-gether nearly everyday. 

Pre-camp week, He goes to Korea week, CSOP week. Three weeks of that so maybe that's why. Being an extrovert, my energy level is high when I'm around people and I need the company of others cause that's my comfort zone. But of course, I have my days when I want time alone to do stuff I like. Then again, there are only two people whom I want to be with all the time, be it people time or alone time.

 Kai & Eunice. 

They bring an extraordinary amount of comfort to me & I feel safe with them. 

(Hope I can meet my boy tomorrow)

Walked round Pasar Bella & though I've been there countless times but each time I enter that place, it gives me a different feel, different vibe & different experience each time. We need more Pasar Bellas in SG, period. Grabbed a cup of cuppa after Eunice ended work & headed back home. Went home to dump my bags before heading off for tuition.

And that my friends, sums up my Monday.

MONDAY BLUES TO COME

Watching shows in bed to unwind & welcome the Monday blues. The thought of waking up early in the mornz is a major turn-off but thank goodness school ends @ 1 & I'm heading off to the grandstand to find my bestest hehehe. It's been awhile since I met her & I can't wait to end off my Monday with her. Grandstand sounds like a good place to chill on a Monday, hopefully I can strike off one place off my food hunt.

A proper update in time to come about my past two weeks.

The closest I have to heaven. Thank you for every single thing love.

My Other Half Is Home

CHI'S A HAPPY GIRL BECAUSE KAI IS ON THE PLANE BACK TO SG!!!

Finally getting to see my lover after a week & though we ooVoo nightly, but it doesn't beat meeting my boo in reality. Real hugs obviously win virtual hugs hands down rightttttt. It just feels good to know that my other half is gonna be back in 6 hours time hehehehe. 

All this excitement is getting to me & I think I'm gonna have trouble heading to bed, oh no :( Breakkie with boo & fammy, okay let's set off to Dreamland.

Obviously blending in so well into the environment, can't wait to have you back in my arms (:

NEW LOCKS

Decided to get my roots coloured & a brand new colour to kickstart my final year in Ngee Ann. Was pretty uncertain what colour I wanted but I could somehow vision how I wanted it to turn out. So after paying respects to my granddad, my aunts & I drove down to town for lunch @ a Jap place before heading to the Salon.

I had to wait for nearly two hours because apparently two Jap dudes were showing all the staff a demonstration on how to use a new product so my aunt & the rest had to watch the demo & at the same time entertain their clients, boy was it cray cray. Whipped out my phone to watch my drama which killed time real quick & finally I could get started.

Took awhile to come to a decision because my aunt didn't want me to bleach my hair & kinda advised me regarding bleaching and all. SO, I decided not to bleach my hair & just dye it two toned.

END PRODUCT.

My entire head is reddish brown but it's pretty dark, almost close to black & I have streaks of copper red around. I wish it would be brighter so that it would be more obvious but it looks amazing when I tie my hair up cause all the red streaks can be seen. So I guess I'll be tying my hair up more often. But all in all, I love the entire outcome of my hair teehees.

My boy says hello from Korea :D He was patronizing a cat cafe over there & the cats there are really really such beauties  #notcatlover #stilllovedogs 

I can't wait for you to be back so that I can throw myself into your arms again, Happy 10th Boo.

I couldn't imagine life without you.

Late night thought.

Activity of the week: Precamp.

Just wanted to pen down my late night thoughts but I was really lazy to grab a pen & do the manual work so here I am. Gonna make this a quick one so that I can get my beauty sleep while it's still pouring outside. 

Precamp's gonna be fun, really tiring, I foresee problems here & there & lastly, quality time with my beloved, cray cray Excos. It's gonna be amazeballz plus our night bowling & late supper hehehe I actually can't wait. You guys should see my bags I'm bringing, I look like a runaway teen hahaha!

It's really amazing how the mind works its wonders. Ever since I took the courage to face my flaws, without finding excuses for them & giving it a shot, I feel different. In a good way of course. I feel even more stronger mentally than before & it proves to me that change might not be all thaaat bad. It feels really good to be honest, esp overthinking. 

Now, when I have the tendency to overthink, I'll stop, shush myself, tell myself that it's not what it seems & then, THE END. I remove the excess trouble for myself & baggages I used to create. This is really a good start for me & I hope it sustains. This is like one of the best decisions I've made & I couldn't have come to terms with it if not for Kaiwen & Eunice.

I love these photos because it was taken by my lover. Hahhaha I gushed a lil inside after typing out lover! And I'm feeling rather shy now hahahah vhaaat iz happening!

Reason why I need to bring my camera out more often & why Kaiwen needs to take more candid photos because they look so so natural & pretty. Though it wasnt 100% candid (I didn't pose for them, I just got him to help me take) but it turned out so pretty!!

So this is how Kaiwen sees me, from his perspective. I actually wish he would do so because it'll really be cool to see me from his perspective. And sometimes, accidental photos always turns out to be the nicest photo you'll stumble upon.

Oh yes, we're hitting our 1400th day of being together!! Hahaha I know it's funny because we're gonna hit our first anniversary in 2 months time & how is it possible that we've been together for that many days!

It's because the boy included the days we first got together waaayyy back in 2011, the years we had it rough but we still knew that deep down we loved each other, the days we grew & matured, the days he plucked the courage to salvage us, till right now. Now - how we're going strong, loving each other like crazy, having so much fun together, trying out so many new things, compromising to each other, growing together & individually, sticking through the ups and downs, being silly infront of each other, still learning more about each other & heading to a future together.

Empowered

I need to make a conscious effort to bring my camera out. These were taken months ago but I absolutely adore all of them, every single photo. Does SG still sell disposable camera? I really wanna get my hands on one just to try them out.

Nothing much to blog about now, I just had the feel to do so. Hahaha stoked for my 2nd time to Amped with my younger couzzies this time. Can't wait to try out more flips!

After a few really emotional nights for me, I feel really empowered now. Because I just conquered my first step to gaining control of the thoughts in my head and to not overthink. It might be easy for anyone of you out there but not for me, so I feel really really accomplished. It is true when they say that when you let go of baggage of any sort, you'll feel lighter & happier -  and that's how I felt yesterday.

Change is sometimes good. 

Kekeke, I just gotta say this: I'm madly in love with my boyfriend. hehe.

Solitude.

I love nights like these where I have the entire room to myself (at least till Sissy gets back from work, so late I know). The room's quiet, really quiet except that you can hear my aircon blowing.

But it's really good. No one to burst my bubble of thoughts, I can hear my thoughts loud & clear. I get to feel and filter all my emotions inside. Don't get me wrong, I'm a feeling person & it's just me to feel so much. In fact more than others. When I started churning my thoughts, it can go out of hand & it goes Wild.

It's funny how I'm so clingy & overly-attached with my boyfriend but yet I seek solitude time just like now. Oxymoron would be the most apt word now. I don't exactly know how to balance this overly-dependent, constant need of company VS I want my time, alone. 

I think, I would want time alone - at night.

Another factor that increases my need for time alone to think & ponder would be after reading/watching material that tugs my heartstrings & switches on my "emotions" button. 

I wish I could explain them & how it works but till date, I'm still trying to gain control of it. Maybe, if you can be in my shoes for a day, you might understand.

Wow, my mind's blank now. That's good cause thinking is tiring to my mental state. Hahaha I wish I could be like my boyfriend, having empty minds more often.

Stoked for Ong's belated birthday celebration to Escape @ Bugis, it's gonna be so exciting & I really can't wait for it. I'm gonna be Sherlock Holmes (female version) kekeke. 

And yes, I'M GONNA MEET MY BOO.
