I'm starting to think that I deserve better.

What insensitivity.

In You do I take refuge /// 10:35 PM

"I sought the Lord and He answered me
and delivered me from all my fears.
Those who look to Him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed."

Deliver me from my fears as I enter the op room tmr, Lord.

On one hand, it's a good thing that the past few weeks are occupied with activities and my mind; thoughts, and that doesn't leave anymore space to ponder over tmr's events.

One of the best weeks yet /// 10:37 PM

It's been a marvellous week with close friends and loved ones!

Let me cherish the thought that His love and care will never tire or change but will be the only source of my lifetime happiness, security and peace.


-Thank You, Lord, for photos. -

21 days to form a habit? /// 11:01 AM

Chop chop curry pork.
I have an hour to blog before heading down to Tanjong Pagar for lunch.

Started off the week with intentions to go tanning with Tingyou but the sun wasn't on our side. Lunch at vivo and our favourite lemon roasted melon tea with pearls from Gong Cha. Cabbed down for a focus group discussion at Wisma. Met the babes again where we had icecream at Daily Scoop, Holland V. just don't understand why guys just like the chase. want to be there for you.



Jiahao, back from Japan, the world where "girls wear mini skirts during winter". He showed me all the stuff he bought from Japan and I helped arrange them nicely. He bought quite a lot of items back for me, which made me pleasantly pleased, especially since a few were randomly spammed through whatsapp, thinking that he most probably wouldn't have the time to buy them. We cooked ramen bought from Japan as well. A delicious meal, after throwing in bacon and scallop:) Watched "the apple of my eye" at vivo and I'd say it's a sweet show. Who says that guys have to act all tough to get the attention of the girl they like. A splendid time in general.


Headed to Town on Wed! Didn't buy much except for food and loose powder manufactured from Japan:)

Yest, gave tuition early in the morning and met Prof, Ruiqi and Yanhan to sort out a bit of the logistics for the thesis. Church in the evening. Am at this phase whereby I have a major decision to make. I'd dare say it's the most difficult decision that I've to make thus far. It has been bothering me for the longest time and it's extremely important because it would definitely affect my future career(s) esp since I'll be on the educational track for the next couple of years of. Have been consulting various individuals whom I feel are able to give me wise advice and those suggestions vary on both extremes of a continuum. However, as most of them have pointed out, the decision still lies with me and yes, I have to hold full responsibility for that as it's my future after all.


Alright, can't wait for today's events to unfold as a few of my sec school friends are coming over after lunch to play!

Have a great weekend!

- Thank You, Lord, for my sister's progress. -

Thank you /// 5:11 PM

Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas.


This is the song which I've always liked hearing over the speakers in malls when walking from stores to stores. Butterflies in my stomach.

Anyway, it's the season to put on weight and grow fat. To forgive and forget. To love and let live. Looking forward to the week ahead!

Crushed /// 10:33 PM

My heart- it just broke into smithereens.

Missing. Missing can suck every ounce of willpower. I tried. I tried not to think. Indefinable feelings. The same feelings I had when I felt like I've lost someone. When things are out of my control. You. Feigned ignorance. I would far rather be hurled a barrage of hostile words than to face the silence.

waiting waiting waiting /// 11:35 PM

Day One














Headed to Town with Ruiqi and Skeen and bought 2 essentials (blue and grey top), a knitted cream top (which I love the most) and a black high-waisted skirt. Had the loveliest time at L'etoile (Pronounced it as "toilet" initially till Skeen put it to disgrace with her most elegant french knowledge)

Day Two




Headed to Town with Wanling and bought 2 more basic tops as well as a black knee-length skirt! Made more plans for our upcoming grad trip to USA this May! #ohsoexciting
Lovely Her accompanied me to the doctor after that.
Embarrassing moment 1: The young, tall and charming doctor took a look at me, then my I/C and back at me again, pointed at the photo and asked, "Is this you?" in an incredulous tone. HAHA. and a few more MORE embarrassing moments, but that's all I shall share for now.
The good news: it was benign. However, I've plucked up courage and decided to go for an op. Much thanks to those who sent words of encouragement and concern my way!:)



Took the train to Vivo for dinner with Cheryl and i splurged on 2 more pairs of shoes.

This is the first semester in which I did not touch shopping for like 2 whole months, thus explaining the deprivation. However, I still have to hold the reins. Money doesn't grow on trees after all.

Activities: Meetups, trip to KL, christmas party @ church, operation, camp in pulau ubin, baby sister back for the whole of Jan. Looking forward to taking up cooking lessons; emerging myself into the next phase of adulthood. In the blink of an eye, Christmas will be here! Can't wait for each of them to materialise!

- Thank You, Lord, for courage. -

One step closer? /// 10:57 PM

Both men and women want a mate who is a
- good companion
- affectionate
- kind
- considerate
- loving
- dependable
- understanding
- loyal
- interesting to talk with
- honest and
- who has a good sense of humour
(Sedikides, Oliver & Campbell, 1994).



Heart beats fast
Colours and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when...

I do not watch Twilight but yeah.

Yay! /// 10:02 PM

Exams have come and gone.

It's time to go out and play!:)

Anw, absolutely love this song!


Gonna embrace Christmas and all activities with open arms.

- Thank You, Lord, for a 'rather' smooth exam period.
