Kissing Strawberries, ♥.

27th June (Monday) marks the end of my semester break, as well as the start of the Mid Semester Test (MST)! Well, I gotta admit that time passes by really fast this time round. The 3 weeks of holidays just flew by (with its own wings presumably) and I struggled through with the revisions of the modules that are gonna be tested. -I was too distracted for my own good :(-

Had Java programming's practical on the 27th. And, I think I did pretty badly. Couldn't even get what the first question was asking for. I was stuck on trying to figure it out, and I wasted 30-40 minutes of my time just like that. :( I know, I'm screwed for Java. Sigh. Left with around an hour & thirty minutes more for the remaining 2 questions. Although I did managed to complete the test, I know it wasn't performed up to my best standard. Sigh. I fear at the thought of looking at the grade I'll be getting for this practical test. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed, for at least a B+ or B. :(

Infocomm Security paper and Statistics paper was next (on the 28th). Gosh, the ISEC paper was totally unexpected, as 12 out of my 100 marks flew away due to one part of the lecture that I've neglected to look through. Was very disappointed with myself. I hope that I'll still be able to scrape through this paper and get at least an A, because I did made a lot of efforts in trying to understand and getting down to really memorize the lecture slides (and it's not little, there's at least 30-40 slides per lecture and the coverage for the test were from Lecture 1 to Lecture 4) So imagine the despondency I've felt when most of the work that I've did and memorized were not even tested. Sigh.
Had my Stats paper during the noon, and it was alright though, I found it manageable. But being me (as usual), I made some careless mistakes here and there.

Had my Financial Management of Accounting (FMA) paper TODAY (29th). Gave my best for the paper, and hope that my efforts will be well paid off ;) -Can you sense my excitement????

Wanna know the reason behind it???? :D Hahahahahahahhaha! YES IT'S BECAUSE MY MST PERIOD HAS OFFICIALLY ENDED TODAY! Happy me. :D Went to Marina Square with Dee, Su, Fancy and Ming Hui. Had our breakfast&lunch at Hotpot culture. We spent like hours there, and I had my share of laughter with the girls! It's been soooo long since I've last felt so good, have been emotionally and physically drained by the upcoming tests as well as other prospects of life. :( Had a lot of fun walking around the mall, shopping and gossiping with them.
Oh yes, there's this recent craze with the Angry Birds. So my friend wanted to try her luck in getting this keychain. "Combined" our efforts together, and we got 2 of it! Tadaaaa, it's me with them angry birds >:( !

Angry birds!

Su, me & Fancy ;)

Shopped around Marina Square, tried on clothes and shoes but I didn't buy any of them. :( Only bought 2 bangles with Su. Kinda tight on budget recently.

But I really liked this dress (from Mango) and this nude pumps I saw (from Topshop)

This dress is simple and sweet. Love it.

Awesome nude pumps! I think it's more than 5 inches (the heels is about my palm's length)

So sorry for the abrupt ending, but I'm seriously very tired. The papers had been very taxing for me. :(

Updates again soon, toodles guys! Xoxo

PS: Looking forward to tomorrow's class cycling trip.

I'm back for updates! Well, today's post will be a long one as I haven't been updating recently. (Actually, I did but they were all rather brief)

1st of June:
Went to Tampines and met up with Jordan, Ziming & Pris. Jordan chose Tampines as it's convenient for Pris because her workplace is near it. Couldn't quite decide on what to have for dinner. Initial suggestion Jordan made was to go to this restaurant that is popular for its fish dishes (I can't remember the name). I guess all of us aren't fish lovers, so we went to Swensens' instead. :)

Ordered the food, ate, catch up .... Yeah, that's pretty much what happened on that day. I shall let the pictures do the talking for me ;) As you guys know, a picture speaks a thousand words.

(while in coffee bean) Pris and me :D

Ziming & Jordan.

;)

Alright, that's about all. I'm sure there will be more meet-ups in the future. So stay tuned!

5th of June:

MALAYSIA!

It was a one-day trip with my family to Johor Bahru. I found it hard to communicate with the people there, because most of them only speaks in Malay. Luckily, dad's colleague was there to help us throughout the whole trip ;)

We was to go Jusco permas jaya for shopping, but dad's colleague brought us to this new shopping centre (Sutera Mall) instead. There were a lot of shops there, but none of the things caught my eye. :( So, I didn't manage to get any cheap deals there. Shopped for some necessities at Carrefour though. Went to this famous seafood restaurant (which is situated near the sea) for dinner at night.

That's mom, lol.

Took some pictures before we left the place.

One of dad's colleague's daughter :)

The villagers' home.

It was a pity actually, because I didn't get to enjoy the feast in front of me. My teeth was hurting so bad (I guess I wasn't used to having the separators then), I can only manage small bites and have to masticate the food using the right side of my teeth as it hurts lesser. Yeah, that's one of the price I have to pay for wanting braces!

6th of June:

MY 18TH BIRTHDAY! :D

Many thanks to Su, Dee (Alicia), Sha, Satheesth, Joel & Victor for the surprise! :) Well, I totally did not expect Joel & Victor to come. It was so unexpected! No wonder people used to say this: Expect the unexpected.

And also, much love to Devaki for coming down to Clarke Quay (to meet me for my birthday), even when she had school on that day & it was the examination period for her. <3

Here's how my birthday started:

Met with Su, Sha & Satheesth at Clarke Quay's mrt station. Tapped out of the machine (I think Su collaborated with Dee to surprise me) cos instead of walking to the left like how we normally do, we walked to the right this time round. I was still wondering why she chose to walk there, when Dee suddenly popped out from the corner :D Hahaaaa, oh man! That was the first surprise of the day ;) She gave me this super adorable 22" Happy Birthday balloon. I love it. I know it's kinda ironic, but it's my first time receiving a balloon as a gift from someone (not counting childhood times of course).

I noticed that there was quite a handful of looks given to me by strangers while we were on our way to Brewerkz. Must be because of the AA (attract attention) balloon. We took a long time on the decision of what to order for our lunch. We ordered an appetizer (Buffalo wings) and a jug of Brewerkz beer. (I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking ;)) )

"Hot" buffalo wings. Yummmmmmmy!

Surprise #2 came along when I was trying my best to remain ladylike while enjoying my chicken wings. Joel and Victor arrived and ..... Well, I don't know how to describe the situation! Let's just say I was really surprised by them. ;)

The cake they bought :D

Cake & me ;)

That's me making my birthday wishes :D

*huff puff*

Cutting zeeeee cake! ;)

Posing for Dee to snap a picture of me.

Browsing through the menu, as I can't make my mind on what to order for my main course.

Balloon + beer + food = Happy me.

While waiting for our food to come, we decided to make full use of the time. By taking pictures!! :D

Su & me (with Dee in the background)

Awesome girls (love)

Making our way to the washroom.

Bff <3

Left Brewerkz and decided to have some desserts at Haato & Co! The guys actually wanted to walk around Clarke Quay, but Su and me were wearing heels and we couldn't walk around much... So, yeah.

No, I'm not drunk. This is only for the picture effect. :)

Side view.

This is kinda artistic. :) Btw, I love my heels!

Candid shot. I don't know what I was looking at / doing. :P

Our backviews :D

Royal Choco on the left & Rum and Raisin on the right! *slurp slurp*

This picture is interesting! ;) Look at the word and my expression!!

Awesome dress I have, righttt? :D

*Changes to standing straight*

HAHAHA, this is so adorable.

Tadaaaaa!

I LOVE THIS PICTURE!!! Friends forever! :D

Joel and me :)

Dev came around 5 something, as she had school on that day. Wanted to catch Xmen, but all the seats were taken. So, we went to Starbucks to have a drink instead. We did a lot of talking, yeah! Love her. :)

Dev (bff) <3<3<3

Thank you guys so much, for making my 18th birthday a memorable one. Love you guys, x.

PS: 2 random caucasians wished me Happy Birthday because they saw my balloon. Friendly much? I like ;)

9th of June:

Met Su at The Cathay for the movie Xmen first class. The movie was awesome! You guys gotta check it out. :D Haha, and the actors are all pretty gorgeous. Heeh. Ratings: 8.5/10 OH! I can't wait for Transformers 3!

Dined at Just Acia after our movie. Was bloated as usual! :@
