I guess my Father and C is secretly plotting to make me fat, or rather make me happy by making my tummy happy :) 

Seafood feast for 2 out of 4 days in Malaysia

Watami Set Meal treat for birthday by C. 

Loved everything - sashimi, fried wings, shabushabu, grilled scallops and even the salad!

Tried out Yellow Submarine that me and Anna chanced upon before our pampering session. 

The cheese fries are really really good! 

Menya Musashi for monthsary. Slurps Slurps! 

Think the black soup base is nicer though, the red one wasn't really spicy anyway

And I miss the times when they had nicer cha shu that had this charcoal taste

Bring it back please!!!

Wasn't really intending to go back for council camp this year but got coerced into it LMAO

Still a good trip meeting old councillors and teachers, and finally getting a photo with this board.

It has been 4 years since graduation, how fast time flies.

Really admire those super seniors who even came down after work, dressed in formal.

Once a councillor, always a councillor! (even though it was hell as that time)

Pathetic MSEFOC tops attendance ): 3/7 present for dinner.

But with that, I've finally stepped down from it all.

No more money issues, no more ibanking, no more chasing for money, no more worrying.

FinCon may be slack on the surface but the side issues are really so terrible.

Or maybe I'm just a terrible person.

Regretfully didn't set the rules better at the start.

Truly surprised to receive this gift!

New bible after 8 years!

Guess it doubles as a reminder to start reading them, I need more discipline for this

Helping RR in their corporate social responsibility hehe :D

Always wanted to give it a shot at blood donation but always got scared off by the gigantic needle.

So this time after dragging 2 tributes down with me and 1 there to give support, I finally had my chance at donating blood.

IT WASN'T PAIN AT ALL, except for the anesthesia shot

But the sight of the needle in my arms still send chills down my spine when I think of it though.

And I was feeling so sleepy and my heart was thumping away for the rest of the day.

Think I shall only do this if I have nothing planned after next time!

So happy to finally receive my new kicks!

Nike Air Max 90 Essential.

My most expensive buy on Taobao ever!

But all is worth it! 

Makes me taller too hehe :)

Can I be a shoe model?? HAHAHAHA

Forgot about this place ever since IA started )': Bad thing about working is the lack of time to do what you want ):

Taman Sri Tebrau for seafood dinner @ Hiang Kee Seafood Restaurant. All were pretty nice and I don't remember feeling very choked in that place, probably cause we were seated next to a hugeass fan. Food was nice and much cheaper than what we will get in sg for the same spread.

 I can give up meat but I can never live without seafood for life. How to live with no cray fish, no sotong, no oyster and sashimi. I can't even imagine such a life. ):

Back to jb again for last minute IA shopping since I had to collect my new specs. Brought C to the Bak Kut Teh opposite KSL for lunch. Should have order the pork ribs instead, totally forgot about it. Next to Toastbox for a huge cup of teh and kopi siewdai at cheaper rates than sg. I still think there's not much to buy at KSL almost always leave the place empty-handed. Was about to cab back to City Square when we saw the Causewaylink bus at the entrance and decided to try it out. Cost only RM1.50 compared to RM10 if we took the cab. But the cab is definitely much faster. Adventured into the new Komtar mall and had cheap Pizza Hut for dinner. Even Manhattens' Platter is so much cheaper there! There were quite a few shops there that C bought stuffs from.

End of the first day of IA. Right now we're 1/4 done. Can't wait for it to end already. Though I've got to admit I have good colleagues but there's not much to do there and I feel like I'm just wasting time there sometimes. 

Arnolds @ Yishun GV for dinner after work. Their chicken really tastes much better than any where else in terms of Original. I always order Spicy or some form of spicy chicken to avoid the strong chicken taste but well there's only 1 choice at Arnolds. But it was pretty well done, their original chicken didn't have the taste and was very juicy. Colesaw was good too, light and didn't have the bark smell unlike KFC which I rather die than to eat. Only bad point will be the small serving, even I didn't feel full from the meal and I have a small appetite during dinner.

The day when we dragged the bitch to go shopping with us hahahaha. So happy that we're all back!!!! :D

After a month at RR with the lunch butts.

Makeup always looks the best at home and gets screwed and never able to revert to original state once outside. I need to improve on my makeup skills ): Personal goal for 2015.

And it's sweet that even though we're not big on the Valentine's Day celebration but there's always a tiny gesture to remind us that we have one another on this day. Thank you for getting them (: 

Defensive pessimists

"Defensive pessimists," she says, "prepare for a situation by setting low expectations for themselves, then follow up with a very detailed assessment of everything that may go wrong." Once they've imagined the full range of bad outcomes, they start figuring out how they'll handle them, and that gives them a sense of control.

That's why I hate it when people tell me to stop being pessimistic. What's so bad about planning for possible failure?

Last meal of 2014.

SO DAMN YUMZ.

SUCHA CONCENTRATED AND SALTY SOUP BASE I LOVEEEEEE

NOODLES RIGHT HARDNESS I LOVE

CHASHU SO TENDER I LOVEEEE

TOGETHER WITH RAMEN EGG

OH AND THE FREE FLOW TAOGEI OMGGGG I think we almost finished a whole bottle

Best decision to end the year with this meal!!!! 

I WILL BE BACK KEISUKE TONKONTSU!

This year fireworks were different? 

Should be right since it's #SG50 bet they will make it more grand since it's the last segment of the show and starts 2015 with it.

Love the gold ones that falls like fairy dust! 

Didn't get full view cause we were further this year but the best parts are the ones higher in the sky anyway :D

Also no squeezing to get out of the area!

Had some starbucks at Suntec before we went to Plaza Sing for midnight movie.

  Prata for supper.

Lazing at Bugis+

To the temple for yj to baibai before attempting to take first train back

But we failed, it ws packed like sardines???

Where did the people come from seriously?

Waited for the crowd to clear and we only boarded the third one.

Not a bad thing cause we had seats muahahahahaha

Some lizard fell from the ceiling as we were walking back to hall

Scared the shit out of me as it landed with a loud thud and I saw something white

Thank God it didn't land on me I could cry if it did

Hope this means a good year ahead :/

Slept the whole of my New Years day though. 

Woke up at 4pm and lazed around for C to wake up.

Dinner at Miaoyi with C and his family.

Therefore conclude, my tastebuds can't appreciate atas food hahahah.

Haven't got to think of my resolutions though.

But seems redundant cause I don't seem to fulfill any of them every year.

#42 Feliz Navidad!

"tis the season to be jolly!"

So happy that Christmas is finally here!!! 

Heard this first during Christmas Service but Pentatonix's version is so so much better!!!

2 days of Christmas Celebration starts here!!!

Buffet Lunch on 23/12 at The Square @ Furama. 

I think this tops the list of the most expensive meal we ever had! 

$55++ per person but there's the 1 for 1 credit card promotion so we paid $64.75 in total for 2. Expected more variety for such pricing and a hotel buffet but mehhhhh. 

I was basically stuffing myself with salmon sashimi, boiled prawns, cereal crayfish and ribeye. 

We ate so much sashimi till we were saying we can stop eating sashimi for the next 6 months. 

But I realized I was so terribly wrong because I didn't mind having some sashimi the very next day! 

I guess this shows that salmon sashimi is my one true love ♥ 

Deserts weren't too bad according to C because they had the vanilla sauce for their Chocolate Cake Pudding (?) and some crumble cake which was constantly empty LOL so I guess it's really good. Didn't like the creme brulee though but I was so happy that there's eclaire! So bloated at the end but it was raining so it spoiled our remaining plan to go Orchard and Gardens by the Bay and we just went straight back to hall. 

Next day was the trip to S.E.A Aquarium since we managed to get cheap tickets! :D 

The original ticket price of $38 is such a scam! 

We finished the place even faster than River Safari and could be even faster if not for the Christmas Eve crowd. 

I rather spend my money on something else that can last me a full day or at least half a day. 

Didn't take much photos either since I don't appreciate fishes as much as bears/lions/horses unless you're talking about salmon sashimi hahahaha!

 This thing actually moves but rather lame show really. Not even educational.

 This stingray is damn cute instead of swimming like other stingrays it prefers to blob up and down. We went round the aquarium twice and both times it was doing the same thing.

Watching jellyfish blob up and down can be rather therapeutic surprisingly.

Off to Gardens by the Bay after dinner. 

It was drizzling when we reached and I was so sad ): 

Have wanted to come here ever since exam ended and it actually rained when I finally came??? 

C was like saying "you wanna just go?" and I interpreted it as go home instead and I felt pretty sad ): But he actually meant just proceed with plan despite the rain. 

And so we braved the drizzle (which eventually became lighter) to where the Spalliere is.

It is so damn chioooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, even better on camera! 

Even though the so called snow was foam but it was quite an experience. 

Being in the Spalliere during Blizzard Time (Fake snow blizzard LOL) despite the rain and muddy patches was rather magical I will say. 

Merry Merry Christmas!!!! (:

 First photo after exams! Right outside the exam venue with the worst paper of the sem. But this also concludes the end of Year3 in NTU!!! GOODBYEEEEEEEEEEEE will be back in year 4 (: So excited about not having to study for 4 months. 

First meal after liberation at Paradise Dynasty! I can eat ramen everyday omg.

So happy to finally see a christmas tree even though it's so pathetic cause it's so tiny hahahahaha! Ah my holidays still have yet to sink in that you're finally here!

Get yourself a bf who loves soccer so much that you have to be prepared to spend 90% of dates at sports store looking at soccer boots until you can even know what are the lastest design and colours. Interested parties please do contact me for free boots consultation with Mr C. Advice guaranteed with his materials science knowledge and passion for soccer!!!

Day 2 celebration after fixing my phone (which died after 2 days ohgosh thankfully for warranty, gotta fix it again on tuesday and they better not make me pay any more money >:( ) with hotspot fried fish maggie tomyum and llaollao!!! Hotspot's tomyum is so saturated with tomyum taste I think it's fitting to call it tomyum stew instead hahahah. The maggie is different also, it's QQ okay like korean ramen just that it's thinner! And llao llao is the best choice to bring down the heat!

Please always choose Rafaello sauce instead of chocolate/caramel/any others because Rafaello is what makes it worth the hype! Same goes for caramelized cooki for crunch and mango! We are gonna come up with a perfect combination 1 day!

Day 3 with church followed by Nam Nam and Andersen's Sundae by the fountain hehehe

Still can't express how happy I am that exams have ended, waited so long for this period to come where we don't have to worry about going home to late and having to get a study table. December has to be fulfilling before IA and it's back to same ol' work routine. Not quite sure how I will adapt to the life of an engineer though :/
