Hi everyoneeee!

As of now, half of the semester is done and it's recess week WOOHOOO. Yeap, I've a week off from school technically ... but yeah have to use it well to revise and to catch up with whatever I am lacking behind urgh.

NUS had their recess week this week and it's NTU's turn next week. I guess they deliberately do this so that it staggers our holidays and blah blah blah idk lol.

So I met up with cindy and burden (aka zaiqin) today for a dinner. Cindy wanted to try out this café called "Bread Yard" @ One-North. To be honest, the food is not bad and the price is relatively reasonable for it's portion.



^ and that's my dinner! Looks good right!!! So I ordered a grilled chicken and the sides were: eggs, hashed potatos, bacon bits, salad and bread. The bread is awesome. Legit. It's $15 for my main course and I topped up another $3.50 for a side and a drink. For the sides, you can choose to have soup of the day/mashed potato/zucchini salad. Got the salad because I felt like I was having too much potatoes wtf.

We didn't try the dessert there because we wanted to go and try something else from another café. So we were googling and then burden kept on talking about bingsu LOL. So yeah, in the end we gotten bingsu.


We took the train to Harbourfront and went for bingsu @ Cafe Bene I think (sorry if I've gotten the name wrong!). It's at level 2 of Vivo City. We had pat bingsu, although I think we should have probably gone for the cookies & cream/coffee flavoured one haha. Oh wells.

After that we walked around Vivo and then went back home. Felt bad that I kinda dragged the girls around shopping and etc haha. Well, it has been awhile since I last went Vivo, so I kind of wanted to explore this place again. After all, I did worked at Smiggles there for awhile. Didn't manage to see Syakirah because by the time I went there, she had already left haha.

So that's all for tonight.
Shall shower quickly and sleep soon (hopefully).
Goodnight everyone and ciaos ^^

Time for blogging again!
Feeling kind of tired from yesterday mahjong session, although we didn't really played it till very late (ended around 11pm). But oh well, i need loads of sleep like seriously haha. Plus i woke up early to do a bit of catching up #ideservemoresleep haha.

So last saturday, in the afternoon i went out with my family for a temple and then after that i went clarke quay central's starbucks to study first. I was suppose to meet qijie, kiaheng and adriel (kiah's +1) there at 7pm for dinner. It has been awhile since we last had a gathering hahahaha dinner kakis. 


My make-shift "laptop" LOL kidding. Anws thanks boyf for lending me his portable charger for that day. I left my house with tablet at 33% and phone around 60%+ wtf. I passed by dhouby and when i called him luckily he was still there so yeap otherwise i would be shopping around ... rather than catching up with school work.

T.T there is a lot to catch up.

Well and i guess that day is one day before valentines' day so there were a lot of couples in starbucks. But seriously, there was this ang mo couple that erm ... okay maybe thats their ay of showing each other affection but it's just ... weird ....

okay i have no further comments about it ^.



So that night qijie brought us to Brewerkz for dinner and yes we split the bill LOL. The food is seriously damn good. The mac & cheese was the best one i have ever eatern and the nachos are just sinfully awesome HAHAHHAHAHA. I cannot. I just loveeeeee cheese. The pork was good also and we drank a bit (literally).



I would honestly love to go back for their food again haha although the waiter keep rushing us to order drinks lol. I mean well after all, it's a pub. 


For dessert we went back to clarke quay central for this hokkaido soft serve ice cream haha. I always get the green tea one there because ITS NICE AND I LIKE IT. Then after that we walked around clarke quay then home sweet home.

I seriously enjoy having dinner with them haha. They (kiah and qijie, sorry adriel LOL) are one of those few peeps that i can click with? Yeah and bascially we can talk about anything. Like anything. Totally uncensored, raw, no filter and vulgarities HAHAHAHA. So inappropriate for the public but whatever haha.


And in case you guys miss me HAHAHA my selfies. Anyways all the pics and the video are from my snapchat haha.

Okay, that's all for now, time to go back and chiong my tutorial LOL fml.

Warning guys.
Don't read this post if you are really really hungry.
LOL okay also not say i'm going to post really good food here i my blog post. But hey, i realised that recently i have been taking a lot of photos of my meal, and then i upload and edit them using Snapee.



Grandma's beehoon soup

I can't get over this picture (above) because firstly it's one of those "lazy meals" that my grandma mad for dinners. There's nothing bad about it and  i loveeeee it. It's like beehoon fish soup? Yeah but uh no fish, all pork and fishcakes. Occasionally with toufu or hot dog.

In case if you are curious about the red thing, yeap i put a lot of those. It's like some anchovies paste (because i can't eat the shrimp one and i think i will still prefer this over the shrimp one hahha). Will take a photo and share it with you guys next time. Seriously love it a lot, and like adding it to almost all of my meal if possible.

Coffee Bean muesli parfait

So recently i was having exams (it's over now lol) and i found a nice hideout to study. Like seriously, it's a nice place to study. I usually study at starbucks but often it gets really too crowded and then you get chase out (worst if you got chase out in a unfriendly manner lol). Well i do understand that it's not a really a place for studying but it has been a trend since idk ... 2 or 3yrs back? Yeah. Because a lot of people study better outside than at home *hands up*

And so, this place is coffee bean at marina square. Only marina square, jem and one more place serves breakfast all day. They seriously have like a lot of food to choose from and it's really really nice! Not kidding. I love eating there. 


Coffee Bean's Eggs Benedict


Coffee Bean's salmon bagel


Song Yuan Rainbow cake


Grandma's Bakuteh with maggiee


Grandma's home cooked food


Grandma's home cooked food


British Fish & Chips from NTU can 14


and sometimes i like to have a simple breakfast wth


Ayam penyat from NTU can2

Okay enough foodies for this post LOL. I actually removed my yummy korean cup noodles photo from this post. I shall blog about it separately. In love with some of them but erm not going to eat them again for awhile because ... i have been having too much of them lately LOL. Not good, nope.

And ciaos~

Seriously seriously love love love my grandma's cooking.
I am actually one of the fortunate ones who grew up with her since young, and able to dinners made by her for almost everyday. I kinda miss her food last week, because i have been staying at hall and i am kinda sick of the canteen food near my hall. So yeap. 

No idea what's that veggie called but she has been cooking that dish weekly? Haha it's like our family's favourite currently. She cook it with this spicy anchovies paste, usually she will use prawn (heibi) paste but because i am "allergic" to prawn so she switched it for me. 



And then after dinner i have cakeeeeee.
It's one of the cakes i have eaten since young. Mum bought it like yesterday? I think and yeah i forgot to eat it this morning LOL. It's from a bakery near our house called 'Song Yuan' and they actually open a cafe beside their shop which sells really yummy and affordable food. Btws, song yuan also got their own store at amk hub, uh first floor i think.


And that's all from me today hehe. happy TGIF + Black Friday peeeps!
Happy shoppinf and fak i am broke even before black friday LOL #lessonlearnt

Breakfast for one of my morning in hall.

Staying at the fifth floor and halfway up a hill makes me lazy to go out and feed myself wtf. But then again, its quite a good work out hahah. Maybe thats why i always get hungry late at night ._. Okay need to cut down on snacking gahhhh.

Have been wondering if i should start cooking at hall but it would be quite mafan (troublesome) to bring some of the pots and pan and, i have no idea how to use the electrical stove in the pantry LOL. Ya la can learn la but then hor i just dont feel safe using it ...? Cause i can't see the fire ... omg if that makes any sense, idk -.-

I can't really cook well and i am a lazy cook so i was thinking about the things i can cook w/o tasting horrible and i would probably need a fridge anws haha. But then there's Keepoh at level 4, so i guess i can just stuff my stuff there as long as it's halal? Erm LOL. As long as he and his roomie doesn't mind bah.

Was watching late night cafeteria (from previous season of happy together) and thought of trying out some of them. Maybe during the holidays hmmmm ... and yes, i agree they should totally bring back that segment!!!! really love it >< lol. Okay, enough about food, getting hungry again wth. Ciaos~

Hi guys! It's October already and this means 2 months left for this semester before a break omg.
Not much time left for me to slack if i want to have a decent gpa haha, keep telling myself his but i need to really work on it argh. Was about to start bizlaw but nah, blog first heh!

So I met with Melissa.H aka my legit bff today for a super late brunch. Okay i waited for her at the wrong MRT station. Suppose to meet at botanic gardens but I waited for her at buono vista. Then I had a weird encounter while waiting for her (at the wrong station -_-). Yeah my new month started with a weird encounter lol. Anws, woke up early in the morning for laundry before meeting her for brunch haha.

So this random guy approached me and ask me to take earpiece off. Then later he ask me if i want $5? I was like 'huh? no it's okay.' Initially i thought he wanted me to do a survey for him or something and later he replied and said that he wants the $5 ... -_- okay fine.

Then later he asked me to give him any 8 digits (i thought he was going to show me a magic trick or what). Then later he told me that he will pretend to call me then i have to pretend to pick up the call and then break up with him.

Yes, he said that.
And no, i told my boyf, my bff and everyone else and they had the same reaction as me:

HUH?!

Then i asked him if it's a truth or dare thing and i did say i didn't want to luh because its like so awkward ....? Then he said its because he was bored LOL. After that he ask me to give him 8 numbers, has to look like a phone number and he said if i want to give my real number it's also fine, that would mean that i am really cool about it and also, i look quite pretty (sound so BHB saying it out myself -.-). So i just randomly gave him 8 numbers (but not my hp number) and then he left.

I was like asking mel to faster come then i realised that i was at the wrong station ... #FAIL.
So I took the train and went to meet her for brunch like a finally lol.



Here's our food. It's a bit pricey but whatever, it's really good and the portion is quite filling.
Mine was some chicken breast sandwich and her's .... i forgot LOL. She recommended the moca over there but nah i felt like having cocoa. Anyways, that place looks really nice to study, should probably visit there some time soon. 


and of course photos together!

After that she went for lecture and i went back to hall to get some serious shit done hahaha. Sigh omg recess week is ending ... noooooooooooo. Need to be more productive the next few days argh. Ciaos~

Yeah man part 1 siol. Maybe there weren't as much things as i thought to blog about LOL. But still i just wanna share all of these good and bad times on my blog haha. Yes blog i'm back sorry for neglecting you. Please blame everything on studies .... okay kidding i also lazy la LOL.
Anws this is a scheduled post 😂 .. right now at this timing i am probably having lunch break haha.
So i'll be blogging about:
March - blocks and Vietnam Trip.
April - A divs

And duh large portion of this post will be about my vietnam trip and a divs, there isn't much to talk about exams anws haha.


Here's my schedule.
Well you see, my coach's judo club was organising an overseas judo trip with St. Gabriel's. And so, me, karshing and sean decided to yolo and join them despite in the midst of blocks.
okay blocks is just uhm the first major school exam of the year, yeah. Xiuming and cassie went too haha. 



Say hi to organic chem and that's just half of the mindmap.
It's all about the connection between each chapters lol.


Hahahaha omg i can still remember that day. 
So on our day of flight to Vietnam, we had both GP papers and also our H1 papers. 
And i remembered that the night before i just told myself to study until like 2am (LOL seriously), go for exams and then sleep during my flight to vietnam HAHA. Whoa but seriously man, to those who are taking exams, please have at least 6 hours of proper sleep LOL no joke. Don't try. 

Xiuming took the flight with sir (our coach lol), cassie, patrick and the St Gab's peeps whileme, karshing and sean took a later flight there. And there's Ruilin being so sweet for sending us off at the airport! My family did too la haha. Its my first time going there but not really for shing and sean. And duh, its my first overseas judo trip but we did mostly shopping there haha.

oh and it's my first time taking budget airline LOL. 


And here's our bed.
okay la the hotel is not that bad. Apparently the three of us reached the hotel earlier than the rest so they just gave us a room first to put our luggage. Rather than having us waiting at the lounge lol. Then when we decided to go out and grab some dinner, they arrived LOL.


hungry shing #capturealltheunglammoments heh.

Okay and next thing is ..
i can't really remember to sequence so uh forget about it LOL. 
I'll just blog whatever that comes to my mind then HAHA sorry! 
😛 

 Patrick says hi ~


Group shot! while watching a judo match. 
And there's jade - the one who took the photo and me popping out cause i short and not sure if i am being blocked LOL. Pardon my fringe and i decided to give up on arranging it and let it parts in whatever way it wants too HAHA.



Jerome, no idea what was he doing though haha.
Have not seen him for ages haha. Second shot was taken by karshing/shing haha.



Then we went to this place which idk whats the name LOL.
Went to look around at the scenery and then had tons of food. The weather that was .. hot.
LIKE ON FIRE BLAZING HOT LOL.
Not joking at all! all of us are sweating damn badly haha and just wanna sit down and chill under the shade. Everyone had like many rounds of sugar cane and beer .. for some of us heh.


 
 


Then we all book a long ride down the mekong river (i think la idk la omg save me LOL my memory is failing #muchexaggeration). We got to experience the floating market and then the visited a few interesting places along the way and got to eat lots of yummy food keke.
who doesn't love good food? 
😍😍😍



and here's us after physcial training! Most of us slept from like less than 4 hours haha
Eh the we did went for training la only one day though LOL. The rest was just relax, sight-seeing and tons of shopping!!! #buyallthecheaploots. But its nice that i manage to get closer to most of them throughout this entire trip.

sean,shing and i tried to study during this trip but obviously we failed terribly in sticking to that haha. okay la they did more than me but oh well we decide to enjoy instead. 

Oh and i remembered one of the night me, shing, sean, cassie, xiuming and patrick we just partied in our room LOL. We had a huge pizza party and then next we eh drank a few rounds 
😜😜😜
controlled drinking okay guys! No casualties and we didnt do anything illegal LOL. 


some random selfies! With shing and antonio~

Well it was just like a 4 days trip i think? But i had lots of fun! And yes i was the one who shopped the most there and prolly spent the most. People got scared by how much i can shop LOL. Sorry if i dragged you around hahahha oops. And i remembered that opposite where we were staying there was this shop that sold really nice clothes for both guys and girls.

✨ And yes, we raid that place. Under my command. ✨
We went there almost everyday to check out for a new *ahem* goods LOL. Its really affordable and worth the it luh, I did my math okay! #cheapskate haha. And i think the people there loveeeeee us cause we spent loads there.

and yeap that summarise my vietnam trip haha.
Ps for not having much photos of it cause i was lazy luh hur.

oh and i kinda injured myself during the trip while on the mats.
So had a super huge bruise over my left knee? but its okay already haha nothing serious~



so after being back from vietnam.
Blocks resume, school training resume everything resume.


studying in the library with the judo babes and because jackets are too mainstream,
ruilin wore my gi to fight the cold in the library instead hahaha. 

But i guess my mind just focus more on training throughout this period because A-division was around the corner. First week of april? Yeah. I took part in the under 52kg category for individuals haha was busy gaining weight while people are trying to lose weight. 
😂

 Oh, and here are my grades for blocks. #nothingtobeproudof HAHAHA 



That was my first and last A-division :) 
I trained almost/practically everyday and i had fun everyday of course. 
Judo is what i am currently enjoying now hehe. Although i got loads of injuries this year but still i miss this period of the year most i guess? Cause everyone was working hard, doing their best and improving a lot! The support and encouragement for each other was awesome too.



group shot with CJC's judo girls!
Taken during team event match for bronze.
RI and HCI fought for for champion and i think HCI won? Correct me if i'm wrong, sorry!








 The results are okay la not that bad haha.
Got lots of bronze LOL. So both NYJC team event we got bronze. Then for individual there weere bronzes too and Ambrose got silver. I lost my bronze match haha that day so emotion omg #sopaiseh then happy for St Gab's boys cause they won overall champion yeah! Good job!

So after the competition, some time later we had a mini celebration haha.
Sir catered food for us (thank you!!!) and also we had a mini photoshoot session. That day was just another fun day i had. 


The judo babes! 


The judo babes ft. Mr Ong LOL


there's sir and us sitting down haha.
Well we decided to give something to sir to say thank you. 
Because he really did gave us a lot of support during training and outside of it. He's really still very nice to use put it a lot of effort in training us! I mean most of us in NYJC went to A divs with only one year plus of training, so its an achievement yeah! 
And he also bought rash guard for those competing! 

So the exco's discuss (i joined them only this year) that we should make a note book. Xiaoying decorated it haha. And then all of us wrote short notes to sir and pasted them in it. Each page also has some of sir's quotes LOL. He always says a few things that we often *ahem* mimic haha. 

of course we didn't forget joanna! Who is another awesome coach. We didn't neglect her laaaa! Just that her present is being delayed haha we manage to give it to her during judo camp which i think its during june holidays LOL. 

So, i guess that's all for now!
Look forward to the next #throwback post okay?
 😂
Ciaos~
