Everyday I'm studying~

Now I just realized that I havent been updating this space.Been so busy these days and will continue to be in the weeks leading up to the final exam.Actually it ain't exactly weeks.Im left with a couple of days to the first paper and 2 weeks to the next.I still feel so unprepared.This always happen when it's only days before the exam.It seems like hours of studying still didn't really help much.Sometimes when I'm in the middle of studying,I would feel so lost.I don't know if I'm making full use of the time I have to study effectively.Cos during the end of each day,I am not even sure if it was a productive day.The stress is building up.I am in deep trouble.

Can postpone FM,MA and ME paper?

I must be dreaming~~

Introverts

Took this off facebook when someone shared it and I felt most of it is kinda true.Yup I confess I'm an introvert.

Myths Facts About Introverts :

Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk.

This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in,and they won’t shut up for days.

Myth #2 – Introverts are shy.

Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a reason to interact. They don’t interact for the sake of interacting. If you want to talk to an Introvert, just start talking. Don’t worry about being polite.

Myth #3 – Introverts are rude.

Introverts often don’t see a reason for beating around the bush with social pleasantries. They want everyone to just be real and honest. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable in most settings, so Introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which they find exhausting.

Myth #4 – Introverts don’t like people.

On the contrary, Introverts intensely value the few friends they have. They can count their close friends on one hand. If you are lucky enough for an introvert to consider you a friend, you probably have a loyal ally for life. Once you have earned their respect as being a person of substance, you’re in.

Myth #5 – Introverts don’t like to go out in public.

Nonsense. Introverts just don’t like to go out in public FOR AS LONG. They also like to avoid the complications that are involved in public activities. They take in data and experiences very quickly, and as a result, don’t need to be there for long to “get it.” They’re ready to go home, recharge, and process it all. In fact, recharging is absolutely crucial for Introverts.

Myth #6 – Introverts always want to be alone.

Introverts are perfectly comfortable with their own thoughts. They think a lot. They daydream. They like to have problems to work on, puzzles to solve. But they can also get incredibly lonely if they don’t have anyone to share their discoveries with. They crave an authentic and sincere connection with ONE PERSON at a time.

Myth #7 – Introverts are weird.
Introverts are often individualists. They don’t follow the crowd. They’d prefer to be valued for their novel ways of living. They think for themselves and because of that, they often challenge the norm. They don’t make most decisions based on what is popular or trendy.

Myth #8 – Introverts are aloof nerds.

Introverts are people who primarily look inward, paying close attention to their thoughts and emotions. It’s not that they are incapable of paying attention to what is going on around them, it’s just that their inner world is much more stimulating and rewarding to them.

Myth #9 – Introverts don’t know how to relax and have fun.

Introverts typically relax at home or in nature, not in busy public places. Introverts are not thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies. If there is too much talking and noise going on, they shut down. Their brains are too sensitive to the neurotransmitter called Dopamine. Introverts and Extroverts have different dominant neuro-pathways. Just look it up.

Memories of Tampines Library

I was super shocked when I saw this at Tampines Library.Just a few months back,I was studying with bf at the library.I think we were back from our dinner and planned to continue mugging in the library.When we entered,a guy approached us and asked us if we wanted to write down any memories we had of Tampines Library.For me,it was an easy job.I definitely had loads of memories of it.Without much hesitation,I agreed and started writing.I didn't think much of it and of course I didn't know what they were gonna do to my note.But I was given a box of colour pencils with the courtesy of NLB.A reward for my contribution?So anyway,I was at the library today with Sheryl and Zw.I felt a little restless from studying so I walked around.I went to the first level and was browsing around at the photo exhibition going on down there.When I've decided to head back up to the second level,I chanced upon this corner by the stairs that stated "Memories of Tampines Library".I felt a little curious and went closer.My jaw dropped when I saw these familiar words.And then,I saw that name right at the corner and realized that it was my entry!I felt super honoured though it was not at all significant.I was grinning from ear to ear and couldnt wait to tell Sheryl and Zw.HAHA.Yes I told the bf too hehe.I just couldn't contain the joy.

Peach Garden Noodle House

Finally a sunday dinner with 5 of us.For the past month plus,dinners on sundays were just for the 4 of us without my brother.So,my parents decided to give him a good treat after all the substandard food he had in China.I guess he must have missed the food here in Singapore.

Our initial plan was to eat at Fat fish steamboat at ehub but my brother did not feel like having steamboat.So we changed our plan to eat at Peach Garden Noodle House instead.We went to the outlet at White Sands since it was just walking distance from our home.Besides,we've walked past this restaurant for many times but just didn't thought of eating over there.And so this was our first time and the food looked kinda appetising.We ordered the following dishes but the captions below are not true to their actual names-I forgot what they were called.

Prawns with dried chilli aka Kung pao prawns

Green beans with minced pork

Fried omelette with prawns

My dear brother and I

Hey daddy,why so busy eating?Very hungry eh?

Sweet and sour pork

Roast duck

I guess I've kinda wasted my weekends doing almost nothing.Gotta put in extra effort in the days to come.Time is running out!And I really need to get at least 2 B's for this exam.MSM should not be a problem but the other 3 modules are giving me a serious headache.But on the other hand,Im starting to be more interested in Managerial Econs.Hopefully if I spend more time on it,it will be able to give me good grades.But who knows?Okay no point saying and don't put my words into action.Im gonna mug in school tmr with my 2 girls!GO GO GO!^^

Just give me a reason

Just give me a reasonJust a little bit's enoughJust a second we're not broken just bentAnd we can learn to love again

It's in the starsIt's been written in the scars on our heartsThat we're not broken just bentAnd we can learn to love again

Guess who's back?

My dear brother is finally back from China after like what,6 weeks?Somehow it felt like we just sent him off yesterday.Days seemed to pass so fast!

This was the first time he was away from us for so long.I could tell that my parents have been super worried for him all these while.They even applied roaming for his phone so that we could contact him as and when we wanted instead of relying on the hotel's weak wifi to call him through viber.Every week we would give him a call either twice or thrice and would try to talk as fast as possible to minimise the talk time.His phone bill just came and it amounted to about $140!But I guess my parents will not be particular about paying such an amount as long as they know that their precious son is getting on fine at China.

However,as usual,food has been a problem for him.But in actual fact,food there tends to be salty and oily as we have experienced it before in Beijing.So cant blame him for that.The worst part was him falling sick.He has been down with fever,cough and flu for a while and till now,he hasnt recovered from his cough.Poor boy!Guess he couldnt fight the coldness at China.Hope he will recover soon.Gonna bring him down to see the doctor tomorrow morning.

Anyway he bought for himself 5 pairs of shoes!I cant believe it!I thought only girls would obsess over shoes.But I think that pair of boots from Timberland looks super cool!Can't wait to see how it looks like on him.And that sweet boy bought me and my mum a bag each.Awww meltz!!!

Thank you bro!♥

Keeping that extra weight off

Been trying to jog between 2-3 times a week.Last week I managed to jog 3 times cos I had that sudden motivation to wake up early.But the maximum I could go without stopping is only 4km.Im trying to train my stamina cos after all I have stopped exercising for a period of time.
And I super love the feeling after I'm done jogging.Even though it was really tiring,I feel healthier and won't crave so much of unhealthy food.Every single run gives me a sense of achievement.
But Im still waiting for my armband to arrive.I ordered it from qoo10(Prefer to say gmarket) and it would be so much more convenient for me.It's such a trouble to hold on to my phone when running.A hindrance too.
I couldnt wake up early in the morning so Im gonna jet off later in the evening.

Epic dance off

Okay I really have to share this.It is so damn funnyyyyyy!Especially the last part where both of them do the gwiyomi thing.Look at Tosh's face when he's doing it!And also Jianhao the LOH YEH MOH YEH guy.Funny people hahaha!

Study + dinner at 313

So today was supposed to be a full day of studying over at the community centre's study room near my bf's place.It was quite conducive and nobody talks at all.You can imagine how peaceful it is,totally the best environment to be studying in.

But then in the late afternoon,his parents contacted him and asked us out for dinner.At first I was a little reluctant cos I wanna spend more time studying.Moreover,I was super under-dressed to be in town cos I was in tshirt,shorts and SLIPPERS!The total spoiler would be my slippers haha.If I wore flats instead,it might not seem that sloppy right!But oh well,he claimed that his parents insisted on bringing us out (which I don't know whether it is true or not) and said that we should take a break.I feel damn mean to reject and so,I went along with them in my AWESOME outfit.

His dad drove us to 313 and we had dinner at Ramen Play.He was part of the management for 313,so he knew that Lawson would be there and thought maybe we wanted to check them out.He had to kinda make sure everything went smoothly.So he was away for a while after dinner while the 3 of us went shopping.The crowd was mainly teen girls screaming their lungs out at HMV.I was too short to capture a decent photo of them.Actually Im not a big fan of them but I kinda got infected by the excitement from the crowd.They were here for an hour only.I only know one of their songs and have no idea how they look like.Epic fail.

On a side note,I realized that during this whole evening,I kept fighting for some attention from my dear bf.His dad kept talking to him.It was hard to talk to bf.Haha so now Im getting jealous of his dad?

Thoughts

It's been so long since we had a long talk on the phone.Even if we did talk on the phone,it wouldnt last that long.Okay one reason is because we have been busy studying and preparing for exams so we don't have that much time to spare.But then,even if we did decide to sacrifice some time to connect over the phone at night,I would suddenly have this feeling of not wanting to talk anymore.I would suddenly feel irritated for god knows what reason and start giving short replies.Most of the time when this happens,he knows what to do.And it means time to hang up.But why is this happening?People say that it is healthy for a couple to communicate over the phone everyday,even if it means a few seconds or minutes.So is it because we have been texting so much more than talking and that's why we(I) have problems communicating over the phone?

But somehow,I think the problem lies with me.Sometimes when Im with my friends in school,I feel super distant from them.I want to join in their conversations but I have no single idea what to say or talk about.Everytime when I face this issue,I start to get all emo and hate myself for it.I feel like Im a loser.Often than not,I'd rather spend time on my own cos this means that I don't have to entertain/talk to anyone.Everything would just revolve around me,myself and I.I just wanna hide in my own shell and never come out.

Unless someone out there bothers to rescue me.

Early birthday treat

I finally had the chance to meet my dear girl 3 days ago to celebrate her birthday in advance.Our initial plan was to go to town but we ended up settling our lunch at Tampines cos this blur girl forgot to bring her laptop for her project meeting.So she had to rush back home after lunch.

We only had just enough time for lunch and nothing else.Felt a little sad cos we spent so little time together.But it was still a great one.I guess the next time we can meet would be after our exams.

So we settled for Sushi Tei at Tampines 1.We were both super hungry and quickly ordered our food.I would always order the Agadeshi tofu.Im a big fan of tofu.Give me tofu and I'll love you to bits!:)
On a side note,almost everyday I've been burying myself in books and notes.Time is ticking away and I still feel like Im super doomed for my exams in May.
Going crazy soon!

Look at my agadeshi tofu above!Together with the bonito flakes,this dish is like heaven to me haha.I feel like Im on cloud 9 everytime I eat this.Okay maybe it sounds a little too exaggerating.But frankly speaking,Im really a tofu person:)

This was what my dear girl ordered.Chashu ramen I guess.I forgot to try her soup cos I was too excited about my own one.I've tried chashu ramen before but now that I look at this picture,it kinda make me feel like drinking the soup now lol.

Pretty girl as always!^^

Tadaaaa!My nabeyaki udon!Sadly,the tempura was already soggy.Forgot to ask them to separate it from the soup.But it still tastes as good.I have a love-hate relationship with prawns.I love them so much but eating too much of them gives me rashes.Damn sad man!

Thanks for being such an awesome friend for the past 9 years and counting.We have been in different schools after going on our own ways since jc but glad that this friendship is still going strong.Love you my tall sister!
