Take aways

Hello guys!

I'm back to share some little stories I encounter on the net. So how many of us actually appreciate the things that you have and not take it for granted? Stories on the net for take away is far more than what we could think of. (I have no idea why I'm talking about take away every single day now, part of growing up? Perhaps) The video below created by Natalie who lost her baby girl when she's still in her. You can see how much she fought to make that smile possible in the video when all she wanted was to tear for losing her precious girl. She wanted so much to tell her baby girl that she appreciates her presence in her life even when she's not around anymore and how much changes she made to her life. How many of us did appreciate the things or the people around us? If not, what are waiting for then? (Guilty as charged) So I'm currently trying hard to be more appreciative for people around me and having them in my life, you see. Hahaha.



The most wonderful gift from god. I cannot fully understand that right now, but I feel the sorrow they had to bear when the gift was taken away. Nonetheless, glad to hear that Natalie (The Nat Factor) fought through all this and am blessed with a great gift now. Praying hard for you and your fam to be healthy! And to every parents in remembrance of your angel babies, may all be good!

Stop and think.

Hello!

So yes, I had my first lesson like few days back. Am already feeling the stress already. No joke! I was expecting my class to be like filled with Aunty and Uncle but surprisingly, mostly my age. Though I have one Aunty in my group. Zzz. It's because I've got this GBA in to complete like 2 weeks after CNY. We were given like questions to discuss and discuss what we are suppose to write and all. Both my group member got like Accounting background except me! Then I was late by like half an hour for my second lesson. Felt so lost when I was in the class for the later half an hour before getting a bit of it. Meh.
Other than that I just hope GBA will be good and I can really understand what I'm doing once I have the time to read up. E-quiz that ended like yesterday was disaster though. I only managed to hit a 70 instead of 100. Depressing. This sucks.

Alright. School's out for a week! So I've been trying to bake all the last minute orders. And I can proudly say I'm done with all the baking! Haven't got time to pass to Gdine her honey cornflakes though! I shall contact her soon to see when I can meet her. Don't upset liao okay! Oh yes. CNY is just round the corner. I haven't really think of what to wear for CNY day 1! 2 places of visiting and ya man. I just suck at thinking of what to wear this year. Last year was so much easier. I think it's the shoe! *Strongly believes and blames on shoe* LOL. Don't bite me this CNY please! Am very egg-cited and looking forward to the reunion dinner and movie with the fam this CNY eve! Though we haven't decided on what to watch AS OF NOW is still Lion Men. *see my sian face* Hahaha.

So yesterday I got nothing much at work to do, I decided to scroll back all the way to where this first blogpost is. I realise there's so much take away every single day, every single month, every single year. In fact the people I've met ever since, I've learnt so so much from them. Hahaha. Really can't be anymore thankful for people whom I've met. Whether we're still in contact or what, I still love you all y'know right? ^^ Hehehe. Okay la. Happy CNY in advance! *just in case I have no time to blog!* Till then!

Stop and think. There's gotta be take away somewhere. Bye all! Dong chiang don't find me!

With love,

Back to geek style in a working style

Hello people!

Am starting school today and feeling the anxiety feeling kicking in like right now. Baking yesterday for some last minute orders and then I don't feel anything. Probably because it wasn't on my mind still. But right now I'm feeling the lost and confused feeling. Lost because I'm afraid I don't know how to cope and catch up with things, confused because I don't know am I doing it right. Oh god. Life sucks at turning point. Soooooooooo many things to consider and think and what's not. Sigh. I hope this pass fast. I can't wait. (Though seems like I've got plans but my plans can keep changing like how Alice's foresight changes) LOL.

Alright. Last 2 batch (I hope) of baking before I close shop and enjoy my revenue for CNY! I really can't wait for CNY (other than the scary thing I'm afraid EVERY CNY) to come. Angbaos!!!!(eyes blink up with dollar signs) Kaching kaching! Then in case you don't already know, I will be jobless from mid March onwards. Officially leaving my full-time job and passing them over to Fatin. As much as I like the flexibility of the workplace, I don't like the company system and it's a goner. I've always been under great protection by Boss, but I guess the whole system is so screwed that this protection doesn't overwrite it. So well, I've served for a year and I think it's good enough for me to experience all sorts of stress level in there. Breakfree for now!



Oh yes! I think I'm gonna be watching Lion Men with the fam for CNY eve after reunion dinner at Eng Ahma house. It's gonna be so different and breaking through the usual routine. As much as I hope we can catch another movie that is (cough! Close friends will know why!) I think From Vega to Macau show looks good leh and there's this Huat Ah! Huat Ah! show. Omg. I tried watching the Lion Men MV just now I decided it's bad enough for me to watch a 5 mins long video and what's worse is a 2 hours movie with full audio sound system blasting through the dong chiang thing. Wtf. Life can be bad. LOL. So I just hope we can catch some other things! Yay!

I guess my CNY got great plans. As of now, CNY eve will be reunion dinner plus movie time. First day will be visiting Ahma Eng and then Dayi. Second day most likely will be at Dayi's place too. Planning a nights' out to Chupitos Bar or somewhere else with the cousins. Third day will have Brother's friend over for steamboat session. Then the week after will probably be my time for visit some of my friends! I can't wait~ Whee! Some bonding time! Oh yes! Heading to Gardens by the Bay for the first time ever during this period of time! I can't wait but no pretty photos because my sucky camera is down for good. I'm waiting for my new one. ):

Alright! It's time it's time. See ya all. Have a great weekend!

With love,

Guilty charged!

Hello people!

*I know I'm guilty for not posting for 2 weeks, 20 bucks in the piggybank!*

So I have been busy doing up cny goodies, if you have been following my instagram or twitter. You should have known that I'm actually selling cny goodies! Anyone yet to order? Please do so! I will stop taking in after 24th January 2014!



Other than busy baking, I'm trying very very hard to like buy my cny clothes. I think it's pretty hard to buy after buying my shoes first. Or rather because I cannot decide on a theme to follow so it's hard? I don't know which is which. Sometimes it's hard to decide. Hahaha, wtf!

Am starting school this Friday! A bit not very egg-citing after knowing I have class on Valentines' Day 7-10pm, then class early morning the next day! Fuuuuuuuu. You people can just kill me. And I'm not suppose to skip the morning class because it's the first lesson for the elective! You all tell me school jian or not? So jian one, because first lesson cannot skip! Zzz.

Oh yes! Before I forget, this is the main point why I'm here. Chance upon this article while browsing through facebook. (Facebook at it's best for spotting good articles to read nowadays, survival 101) I find it really good! So all should read!

Click!

I'm going home to have cup noodles now. #foreveralonegirl #insidejokewiththebrother Byebye!

Swimming through

2013 has been good has been bad. Had major turning points in this year. I can never really conclude whether it's good or bad, but either way I have to accept that it's happening anyway. Let's see what have been good and what have been bad in 2013.

January

  • Crossed the first few hours of 2013 with you. 
  • Still having my interns in GF
  • Went for your camp visit
  • Ahma Tay left us
February
  • CNY dinner with Eng famiy
  • Ended my internship at GF
  • Valentine's Day wasn't with VDP
  • Done with school; Un-official graduate

March 
  • Officially got my first full time job (even before I officially grad)
April
  • BKK Trip (First time to BKK and first time with friends!)
  • First Aid Ceritified (Though I don't think I can save people if encounter)
May 
  • Graduation from Poly (Successful diploma holder)
June
  • Went for both days of Kwon Jiyong's concert (so great!)
July 
  • Brother's birthday and got him a manu jersey!
August
  • Tried and found the right salon! (Y)
  • NDP fireworks wasn't that good 
  • Got my driving license
September
  • Attending the 2nd 21st of the year. (I just realise I didn't attend a lot)
  • Drove without instructor for the first time ever
October 
  • The busy month that I nearly died
November 
  • Starting to prepare for my birthday
  • Enrolling for uni
December 
  • My very own #eemm21st party
  • Ending the year with fireworks above me
This are the events that I can think of that happened this year. Major turning points I can say. Decision making that's so scary. In fact I'm still wondering if I could make it the next time round. I have been saying this every year. But be it good or bad, be it you have made me happy or sad this 2013, I've still grateful. Grateful for that smile you gave me, grateful for the lesson you made me learnt hard. Everyone plays a part in allowing me to grow myself into a better person. With all this life lesson I'm sure I am mature enough to take on whatever I have to. In this year, I've grown so close with my Brother and one of my cousin (partly because of work) and probably because our age are the closes to each other. I think we're out of the age whereby we quarrel that much right, Brother Eng? It's really a great time going out more often, hanging out with each other more. Knowing I can tell you every single thing and that's what I always yearn for. There's always a listening ear right there for me. Thank you! So now, building a better 2014 let's all work hard and get all the achievement we wanted before 2015 hits us! Jiayou and all the best!

Chewytomatoes Story #4

Okay! I'm late for this post as too many things are going on. I'm gonna post like hopefully 3 posts in a shot! (I will try my best) Hahaha.

23rd December 2013 

Went for a last minute X'mas gift shopping with Brother Eng. He just ended camp and had to chiong buy all his gifts. Hahaha. Found really cool presents like the lego one! Hahaha. Then continue to do my party decos!

24th December 2013

It's X'mas eve! No work on that day and I'm feeling so good. Hahaha. So X'mas was with the usual Awesome clique and their plus ones this time round for a mini gathering like what we had every year. Every year this gathering is increasing in the amount of people. Oh yay! So glad they had fun but hell no steamboat the next time round. I clear mess until I'm gonna die liao! Hahaha.











I created a lil game for them and got them prizes for the first 3 winners. Glad they were happy! Then before ending the day they helped me with some of my birthday things! Woohoo! Thanks guys! Love you guys to the moon! Hahaha, wtf!

25th December 2013

I started the day by going all the way from my house to Christ Church just to pass my Brother his X'mas exchange gift. He forgot to bring it over, geeee. So I ended up staying the whole day at home preparing for my birthday things! Was still quite stress over the fact that things ain't getting done and all. Hahaha.

26th December 2013 

Woke up super early just to go Fuchun SS for a trail in the morning. For the whole of the trail I was in a car though. But it's still tiring, considering I've not been working for like 5-6 days straight? 谁受得了? Hahaha. So other than panicking that I haven't finish my party things. Nothing much!

27th December 2013 

Woke up late for trail but everything was considered smooth. Went over to post office to collect my skirt but then they couldn't check where is it. Omg. Damn panic! Saturday no skirt to wear liao. ): So after trail straight away pack things and carried one bag, 2 plastic bag and 2 box over to ahyi house! Major disaster waiting for cabs. I swear I think there's some dinosaurs that still exist and ate away all the freaking cabs! *rage* Then went over to Giant with cousin to buy my stuff before jiejie come over to fetch us after she's done with her work. We 3 totally had trouble carrying EVERYTHING up to my chalet. 3 levels and 3 people carrying so many things is no joke. Hahaha. I even had to paste salonpas to sooth my hand. Wtf, hahaha! Thank cousins for the help! Without them I don't know how liao. Haha. Then quietly did all my remaining decorations thing. So happy that I finished my banner in time. Too pro liao. Hahaha.







Then we went out to get dinner and some beer before starting the mj frenzy all the way till morning 5 before we head to bed! Y THEY NO GIVE CHANCE LET ME SLEEP! MY PARTY TMR LEH! Hahaha, wtf!

28th December 2013

Yay! And then #eemm21st comes! Omg, they long awaited day! Really glad that things went well, though there's like some hiccups here and there. For example, the rain that stopped us from bbq-ing, then the missing knife, camera spoil and all. But am really glad for those who came and enjoyed themselves! Though I couldn't get the photobooth going because of my cam, I'm glad that everyone used that corner well to take photos and photos! Overcrowding there. Hahaha! Didn't manage to snap an individual shot with everyone because it's too messy liao! Omg. Sorry people! But do not worry! You people will still appear in the group photo! Hahahaha. Some snippets of my bday! I haven't got time to upload up the fb because not all the photo is with me. Meh.














Officially 21! Oh no. Really thankful and glad for everyone's presence. It wouldn't be such a fun and memorable party for me without everyone. Glad that I have a lot of people who actually helped me in everything and every way you guys could. I'm blessed with all this awesome people in my life. I thank god for letting us cross path in one way or another, because 21 years wouldn't be so easy without each and everyone. Thank you Eng family for making this happen. Papa Eng for sponsoring the buffet, Mama Eng who kept bugging me and rushing me to faster do my things and sponsoring those miscellaneous. Brother Eng who ran here and there just to get all my things done just for me. Wearing shirt and had to run all over. Going to fassler to get salmon sashimi, going to corporation road to get my cake, going to e-hub to get my balloon pumped + getting me a new one. Thankful for you helping me socialize with my guest and taking all the bbq food up all by yourself! Thanks for being such a lovely brother! The list will go on and on. Thankful for everyone. Really grateful!

29th December 2013 

Home to sleep for the whole of the day. Other than me slipping and fell at the chalet lobby, nothing biggie happened! Hahaha.
