SERIOUSLY,

i hate being nocturnal..

But,

somehow i just feel more alive at night..

To many ppl out there, there is nth unusual abt such lifestyle.. slp onli when e sun comes out, wakes up onli when the sun goes down.. but i think i starting to get sick of it.. nobody goes to work at night unless they are on shift work.. shops doesn't open till wee hours in the morning.. majority of the population doesn't sleep in the morning.. something has got to change..

unfortunately, that has to be me..

currently, it doesn't matter if i continue being nocturnal.. i am still unemployed.. but i can't say for sure in the future.. had experiences whereby i slept late in the night and had to get up earli to go to work.. ain't no joke if continue for a few more days.. u wil just be so physically drained out..

forgotten since when i adopted such lifestyles.. maybe i shld just try harder to change for the better..

Sorry for being away for such a long period of time.. I'm finally here to do an update..

Finally had my graduation during December.. My family and i went to Melbourne for a tour as well.. I guess everyone had a great time.. hmmm.. kind of lazy to elaborate further so i'll leave it as that..

Came back to SG.. been slacking for about 2 weeks before i started looking out for jobs.. haha.. looking out doesn't mean applying.. i realised that there isn't a lot of jobs for chem engineers.. jus hope that things will be better after new yr..

Currently, i'm working part time as a relief teacher in a primary school.. earning some quick bucks and trying not to be a bummer.. haha..

New yr is coming soon.. have yet to buy my new yr clothes.. hmmm.. i need more time.. realised that working takes up alot of your time, be it you like it or not.. work = no life.. haiz.. but this is life.. suck it up..

I guess, thats abt it for now.. hmmm.. will be back for an update when i've the time..

Hello my dear blog,

i'm stil alive.. Yes! I SURVIVED the damn FYP!!! Most gruelling and torturous moments of my student life ever.. But i'm glad i manage to complete it at e very least.. my results are not out yet, but i jus hope and pray for the very best.. hmmm..

Had my graduation dinner sometime back before my exams, during my study break.. wasn't too bad.. had a little fun.. photos are mostly wif my friends.. hmmm..

Having my holidays now.. went up north with my coursemates jus a few days back.. rainbow beach that is supposed to have rainbow coloured sand? haha.. well, in the end, they do have a few different colours.. white, black and orange i supposed.. i nv realli seen it, as heard from my other friends who went on a 4WD trip.. part of the kayaking package that they signed up which i didn't.. a few pics will be uploaded on my facebook.. kind of lazy to do it here..

a couple of things i've to settle now.. my car, bicycle, almost everything that i've purchased here has to go before i go back.. hmmm.. hopefully, everything wil go smoothly.. hmmm..

what else can i say.. hmmm.. let mi think for awhile... ... ... well, i guess thats abt it.. hmmm..

oops, aft looking at the photos in my phone, i realised that i didn't have a lot of pics on rainbow beach.. muhahaha.. :P

Its offically a week since i came back to Brissy. This first week of sch is hell. Not kidding. I'm not handling the workload very well. The design project is just so overwhelming. A lot of uncertainties and issues that i've to handle. Be it miscellaneous or sch work.. Hmmm..

But i'm think i'm better now. Trying to take things easy n relax a little. I've been very tensed up and uptight for the past week. Its time to calm down.

Life will be better de. I can do it de. =) Jia you ba !

Monday, 12 July
Been wanting to eat sushi buffet since morning. Morning as in earli morning like about 1am. Haha. Glutton. But went to bed without any of cos.
Looked for people to go for sushi buffet. But no takers, not even my mom. Sad. So no buffet. 
Stayed home den. Baked egg tarts again. This time, its much better as compared to the previous attempt. Hee.

Tuesday, 13 July / Wednesday, 14 July
I forgot which day was it that I went for the sushi buffet. I went to the suki sushi buffet at punggol plaza. Rather disappointed. The food is not fresh at all. Pure waste of money. After filling my stomach with the food, I walked home. From punggol plaza back home. Wonderful. Haha.

Thursday, 15 July

Went to the gym after a long interval from last week. In fact, i should say, i dragged myself to the gym. I was very reluctant to work out due to laziness. Haha. But as usual, I'm glad that i went eventually.

I met my sec sch teacher at the sports complex. Had a short chat with her. A mother of two already. Time flies. She didn't age in my opinion. I would supposed that she is getting on fine.

Met glenn for dinner at the prime cut. I don't think i'll go back again. The food is considered reasonably priced actually. They have the unique glass bottled soft drinks for sale like the olden days. I had root beer and was surprised that its locally produced. Wasn't expecting that, cos i tot it was from our dear neighbour, Malaysia. Saw rongrong and OBY, my sec sch friends while having dinner. Been such a long time ever since we last met. Think its abt 5 years. Seems like a long long time. I've aged. Hmmm.

Friday, 16 July

Went to Ikea for dinner. Rather, should i say its for lunch and dinner. Chicken wings and meat balls. The food is still as good as usual. Not much changes with the furniture display. Didn't buy anything.

Came back home and celebrated my dog's birthday. My cousin went to buy a cake from the pet shop. Was told that its fit for human consumption too. I tried. Its not too bad. Not as greasy as those that we eat thou. Reasonably priced too.

My dog will be gg for sterilization in 1 day's time. Hmmm... Hope all will be well..

Saturday, 17 July

I couldn't slp since last nite. Finally went to bed around 8 plus in the morning. Slept for a short while and i couldn't slp anymore after that. Got up and its time for lunch. Went to the kopitiam near my house. Had 'Lor Mee'. Not very fantastic. Little ingredients and lots of noodles. But don't expect too much, afterall, they are 'chinese' selling the 'Lor Mee'. Went back home for a short rest before heading out again.

A frog in the well = me, went to try Popeye at AMK for the first time. Ordered a two piece chicken meal with fries,scone="biscuit" and fanta grape drink. The chicken isn't to my liking as the skin is too deep fried until its dry and the chicken is pretty bland. Nonetheless, its quite juicy. I think i still preferred KFC at the end of the day. The fries is good thou. Had the coleslaw too. Didn't really like it. Cos of the pickles. I think the pickles spoil the taste of the coleslaw. The scone sucks big time. It jus taste salty. Yucks. Conclusion, i'll go to KFC when i want to eat deep fried chicken.

Went for a short drive to my house nearby park near midnight. Took a short stroll and head to the mac for Mcflurry. Fattening supper. Heck care.

Sunday, 18 July

Had a heavy breakfast, Laksa. Nt bad, but regret a little afterwards, cos realli a little too heavy, don't feel very good after consumption.

After the breakfast, send the dog down to the vet for sterilization. Somehow, i feel that my dog knows that we are gonna bring her for sterilization/ to the vet. The whole journey, she is pretty agitated, uneasy and whiney. That is pretty unusual, cos normally she wil jus look out of the window n remain quiet.

My mom went in to the clinic first while i parked the car. While waiting for our turn, my poor dog starts to salivate. Didn't noe what is wrong, until i came home n did a little research, its cos the poor doggie is afraid. Haiz. We left it at the clinic after a short consultation with the veterinarian. Can hear her barking, shortly after she is carried inside.

She has this habit of barking when nobody is at home. She is jus so afraid of loneliness. But in this case, because its a new environment with nobody whom she is comfortable with.

She is ready to come home in the afternoon. She looks so tiny and fragile when we first saw her after her surgery. She is subconscious. Looking at her wounds where she usually expect stroking from you, you can imagined the pain that she must have gone through and is stil going through.

Came back home, we prepared her bed. She jus lay there and slp most of the time. She didn't eat anything that nite.

The most painful part is when we have to sterilise her wound with anti-septic solution and apply medication. She is whining loudly and tried to stop us from applying anything. But because she is still pretty weak, its not exactly an issue. All that we can do is try to minimize the pain.

At the end of the day, the question comes back to your mind again. Is it really worthwhile to send her for sterilization for all the benefits that its supposed to bring? All the pain that she has to go through just becos of a decision you made. She didn't have a say in it. Not being fair to her at all. Haiz.

Enough of that, had 'chee kway' for lunch..then i had steamboat for dinner again. I lost count on the amount of times i had steamboat ever since i came back. Pretty sick of it and evaded whenever possible. Had some rojak bought by my aunt who came to visit the poor sick dog. Been sometime since i ate rojak. My aunt bought the rojak at the food fair in the shopping mall near my place. Its penang rojak, different from the usual one that we always eat at the market. No fried doughstick and taupok de.. Mostly just fruits. Healthier choice. :)

Took a short nap aft dinner. Woke up earli today again jus so that i can bring my dog to the vet. Feeling refresh after that. Had a hard time slping later that nite. Don't seems like a wise choice to take a short nap aft dinner.

Monday, 19 July

Woke up early in the morning to head to dental clinic and have my scheduled dental appointment. Feeling pretty tired since i only slept at 2 plus 3 in the morning. I'm done within 20 mins, jus had scaling. No idea why polishing isn't required this time round. Maybe my teeth are shiny enough. Haha..

I don't know if its good or bad that SG adopted the distance fare travel. For example, the whole journey to and fro the dental clinic, its jus considered as 1 trip. Saved some money there. Haha. There is stil transfer after such a long period of time, i'm surprised. So this is a plus point. Some people complained that their fare increased after this distance fare travel is implemented. But in my opinion, they have yet to realise how to fully utilized it yet. Once they noe the trick, its to our advantage. Maybe, people take some time to getting used to this new travel scheme too.

Looking at my just spay-ed n pretty immobile dog, i felt so heart broken. I'm not sure if we made the rite choice to get it neutered. But its definitely a painful process.

Went out with budds in the afternoon to vivocity. Had some ramen for lunch and ben & jerry for dessert. The ramen is shit, please do not try. Its under the same company as Ajisen Ramen, if i'm not wrong. Luckily, Ben & Jerry didn't disappoint me. Hee.

Stayed around at vivo until abt 6 plus when buddy chen went to check in at the cruise centre. She is gg to Batam to meet her boyfriend who is on a working trip there. Den head home le lor.

My aunt bought popiah for me. So i ate it for dinner. Yum Yum. Had rambutans and some tropical fruits, a name that i'm not sure of. Den thats abt it le. I need to work out le. Haven't been actively working out the whole of last week. Lazy bum.

Tuesday, 20 July
Woke up around 11am. Went back to bed shortly after reading the newspaper though I’m supposed to be at the gym. PIGGY me. Finally got out of bed around 2 plus in the afternoon. Time for some food intake.
Went to Ikea for another round of meatballs and wings around 4 plus 5. That’s my breakfast, lunch and dinner. Haha. Bought a hotdog bread too, to ensure that my stomach is filled.
Went to Giant to do shopping. Shopping for all the food stuff that I’m gonna bring over to Bris. Spent 70odd over dollars. Lots of instant food. Can set up a provision shop soon.
Came back home. Helped my poor doggie sterilized her wound and applied medication. Its a lot better today. Hope she recover soon.

Thursday, 8 July

Went to the gym.. Baked egg tarts afterwards.. Failed attempt.. Mommy dun like, saying that the crust is too hard, unlike those available outside.. But my aunt says its nice.. Hmmm.. Who shall i believe ? Hmmm.. i shall improvise on it, make another batch of egg tarts soon.. Hmmm..

Went out with hanjuan and mingchee for steamboat dinner at bugis.. steamboat buffet dinner is not bad la.. chicken herbal soup + tom yam based.. aft this dinner, wasted my workout this morning.. hmmm..

Met buddies today.. Supposed to meet onli around evening time.. But someone dragged mi out to watch toy story 3.. i wouldn't have watch the movie if the ticket were to cost mi 10 bucks.. animation movie don't worth that much, in my opinion.. but the story is not too bad.. star rating of 3.5..

Meet up with another buddy at toa payoh before heading to joo chiat for dinner at 'Everything with fries'.. Don't wanna comment much, but i dun think i'll go back again..

We stood outside for quite sometime, can't decide where to go.. until finally, we decided to catch another movie.. i was pretty reluctant actually, to watch 2 movies in day.. hmmm.. but oh well, at least its not another animation movie.. its chloe, R21.. hmmm.. the movie is good.. hmmm.. do catch the movie if you have the time..

went to buddy chen place afterwards as she forgot to bring her keys out.. nua-ed at her place for sometime before buddy pan n i went to thomson for prata at the prata house.. ordered 1 plain,1 egg prata and a glass of teh halia.. yummy.. the prata is pretty crispy, the curry is good too.. nice.. damn satisfied after the supper.. hee hee hee..

No monday blues.. Hee hee hee..

great breakfast at macdonald before heading to sentosa.. finally went to the Underwater world.. Nice.. Enjoyed myself tremendously thou there hasn't been much changes since my last visit 10 years ago.. i guess i went there at the right time, cos apparantly, the dolphin show jus started on Friday aft the shift from the previous location/renovation, not very sure abt tt.. watched both seal n dolphin performance.. nt very fantastic in my opinion.. for the seal, i think the zoo did a better job..

super hot, humid weather.. wanted to try the megazip (flying fox).. but decided to keep it for future entertainment.. got out of sentosa aftwards.. vivocity next..

had subway for late lunch.. haha.. i think the subway in SG sucks.. not up to standard at all.. disappointing..
