UPDATES

Hello!! Omg it has been so long since I wrote here. I am already almost done with my second rotation of PECT 😛Glad to say that this second rotation has been quite fruitful and meaningful.. I really learned LOTS of things. 6 weeks left so I gotta enjoy my time here! 

So WFH = only go out during weekends, I mean night out on weekdays is possible too but J and I have different schedules and we'll be so tired from work/school. But it's ok! We have been cafe hunting during weekends (mostly for coffee haha, gotta admit I am slowly.... falling into the coffee addiction world 🤪) 

📍Baker's Bench - really good bread/cake but meh coffee. But overall, I loved it! I'd totally go back for the bread bc I am such a sucker for bread 🍞 

❤️ Here's us! Always so so so proud of you my dear. You have been working so hard and your efforts have finally paid off. Thank you for letting me part of your journey, even though sometimes I may not understand fully about what you do, I try to always be there emotionally and physically. Congratulations on your new phase in life, a step forward into the future ☺️

📍The Glasshouse. Tbh I think their coffee is nice but I am quite an amateur so IDK how to describe what I taste, I just judge according to what I think is nice LOL 

But!! They gave me hot even though we ordered iced :( not so cool....

📍Nylon Coffee Roasters. Ok this is quite a quaint area, peaceful and quiet. Affordable and high quality coffee, one of the places that we will frequent just for the coffee! 

Okie maybe one day I will write a more detailed post about internship and reflection and stuff? Honestly there's so much things going on recently, it's a little overwhelming and scary. 😭

 

CB Week

Phew I just ended one of the most rigorous week in y3s2 ok but not really end lah.. still need to grind for the many assignments in place of finals 😭 So I had PBCA, Journal Presentation and a PT quiz all in this week and I am feeling so so drained. Wouldn’t say I did fantastic in fact am quite disappointed because I could have done much better if not for my silly mistakes ☹️ Which explains why I am so damn thankful for the extra SUs this sem!!! (trying to look on the bright side but not rly lol) Have also been staying at home for the entire week and I rly miss J 😢 But we try not to go out and fact that we stay so far away is not helping either. Hopefully the start of circuit breaker can help the current situation and we can all be well again!! In all honesty though, this difficult time has shown the worst sides of some people, not just hoarding goods, but in other certain aspects that I witnessed. And honestly some are people I don’t expect them to be like that. Such a disappointment right? The people you expect the best became the worst. But I guess that’s life and we just gotta get used to the fact that some people are not and will not be on the same page as you. On the brighter side of this CB, I have been eating more home cooked food at home!!! My dad is an amazing cook and I rly rly rly wish he would cook everyday for us not just in this covid19 period. (i’m waiting for dinner as i type this hahahah) Spending most of my time at home also means I get to save alot more money! 😂 And of course to spend more time with my parents... as they work from home I understand better the difficulties they face at work and I feel guilty sometimes for not being as understanding as I should be. 

This weekend should also be the busiest weekend in the Catholic Church but this year... it is so so quiet. I haven’t been to church since masses stopped and can I just say that I do feel a lil empty inside... like something is missing?? As tmr is Good Friday, I hope that I can keep this sacred day in mind and to welcome Easter in our own ways. ❤️ 

May I have the strength and stamina to finish the last 3 weeks of my last academic semester strong ✨

22

Thanks everyone who came over to surprise me after my econs paper 😘My parents and friends were amazing actors and actresses but I got a little suspicious the day before because MY MOM actually bought a carton of POKKA GREEN TEA LOL (she does not usually buy sweet drinks) and her reason was "when people come our house got drink ma" HAHAHAH 

But anyway thank you for the love and effort, especially from J who planned out everything from scratch, my parents for being so supportive and my friends who agreed to join in the fun 😂It felt like just a while ago when I turned 21 and now suddenly I am 22??? Time flies and being 22 feels so... odd. It's like I'm adulting to support myself but I'm still young enough to be dependent??? Whatever the case, I'll get through this phase because I know all of you will be with me hehe 💛My parents have been the greatest all these years and I am nothing without them. 

♡

Was supposed to go to White Rabbit for dinner with J and my parents but it RAINED so heavily and also my grandma and aunt came over so we changed location to my all time fav hotpot BITP HAHAH plus there is 30% off now!!! Super duper worth even though I've been looking forward to white rabbit!!! Guess we'll leave it till the 28th ;) 

SO FUNNY my grandma knows that J LOVES the fried beancurd skin so she kept saying "he likes it, eat eat eat!!" even when J has already been eating HAHHA then my dad got so jealous he ordered another portion and placed it right in front of J and told J to eat if not my grandma will nag again HAHAHAHH aye cutie pies!!! 

Thank you for the red packets and the gifts!!! ( + one more on its way hehe) 

I made many many many wishes and I hope they all come true hehe

I went over to Punggol on Sunday and J's family celebrated for me too! Even though it was a day late but they still brought it up and I appreciate that thought. 💗SWENSENS bc got free ice cream and the waiter gave us the free ice cream even when my actual birthday was on Sat. Always grateful that J's fam treats me as their own 🙆

That's it for 22nd celebration! Let me truly enjoy the oddness of 22. 

Happy Valentine's Day ❤️

It's our 3rd valentine's together... but we have only been together for (close to) two years hahahah that blew my mind a little when J told me about it but that was because our 1st valentine's together, we weren't together yet 😛(you get it, right???)

We have been celebrating valentine's or any other special occasion but this time round, we contemplated quite a bit bc of the virus and what not going around. Initially we planned for a picnic at Marina Barrage but that didn't quite work out, also due to time constrains. But that's ok bc we went to Merci Marcel @ Club Street! So lucky to have secure a reservation at the very last minute bc everyone else who walked in today got rejected bc it was full house.

I guess both of us enjoyed this simple date, we ate we talked and we laughed at some memorable times and I really look forward to many more milestones and celebrations with my guy ❤️

Thanks for the roses, the food and the indefinite love you have been showering me with since day 1. I don't actually say or show my appreciation often and I do admit that sometimes I take all these blessings for granted. But when I actually think about what I have (you, family, friends etc) I am grateful. And the only way to keep all these close is to not get too comfortable. As we gradually move onto our next phase of life, know that I will always be here for you, just like how you have always been for me.

OK WHY DO I SOUND SO DEPRESSING LOL but you get my gist la 😂I hope you liked the banana muffins I baked specially for you and my konglong card hehe. Cheers to the good and bad, and the most precious memories to come 💕☺️
