@ Tuesday, February 22, 2011
haven't written for ages...theres so much to update about.
1. I found myself a job!! Will be starting work in Tokyo from April :)
2. Am finally getting a driving license. Should take one or two more months, but I can't wait to get my license!
3. Happily retired from my tutoring job. I helped out in the winter school, and then stayed till recently in February. I met a really really adorable student, who is rather spoilt but she is like a little sister of mine. Even after I've quit my job, we still keep in touch.
Kinkakuji :) I love Kyoto!!!
And now, I'm in Kyushu(Oita prefecture)with my friends(8of us!). We'll travel around Kyushu and then I'll fly back to Singapore end of this month :)

trip to Seoul @ Monday, November 15, 2010
Pictures from Korea! Went there with Ayano in late October.Please don't ask me why these are mostly photos of food...I didn't take a single picture of the scenery actually. It was a short 3days2nights trip and we only managed to go around Myongdong and Sinchong area. We did visit TongDeMun but it was quite under expectation.
Shopping for clothes in Korea may not be my style. But nonetheless, shopping for cosmetics was quite cool. The shops which specially pleased me was THE FACE SHOP, ETUDE HOUSE and MISSHA. I love the purple eye liner I bought from THE FACE SHOP!
And since I am a cheapo, I love it when the shop girl gave me lots of samples whenever I buy some cosmetics from each store. Seriously, they have millions of stocks such that they can afford to distribute samples for free.
I enjoyed shopping in Myongdong! There stood my favorite stores like FOREVER 21, ZARA and
H&M <3
Samgedan??? Pardon the spelling...but this was the first thing I ate in Seoul.
This was exactly what we needed because that morning was utterly cold and we were craving for something warm. The mochi-like rice in the chicken was <3.
Myself in traditional Korean costume. I really think I have this Asian look.
This was the special service they offered at the Korean SPA place.
Korean dessert! I can't do without it :p
Well, we faced some trouble on the last day because a typhoon hit Tokyo and our flight was delayed till the following morning. Our 7pm flight was postponed to 7am the next morning...and the airport didn't offer us any meal coupons or at least something. So Ayano and I stayed in Macdonalds for like 4 hours. We ate, we chatted, we forced ourselves to stay awake.
The airport was so cold that I bet we could have caught a cold if we slept in the lobby. Incheon airport is supposed to be the hub airport in Asia but it didn't seem much appealing to me...or maybe I failed to find good points of the airport.
Well, we managed to kill time and got ourselves safely back in Tokyo.
Anyways, I'm very very happy I had the chance to travel with Ayano before our graduation (I've actually graduated already though :p) I hope I'll have another chance in spring.
Well, I have to prepare for my interview tomorrow....

subliminary impact @ Tuesday, November 09, 2010
Dear <....>,I was glad to see you at the lecture yesterday. One thing I really miss about my college life is you. To me, you are perfect, and you are my motivation.
Talking to you yesterday made me feel like an idiot being disturbed by unnecessary dilemma.
I should not look at and care about things which lead me to nothing. Instead, there are many things I should invest my energy in. I hope to have a strong mind, have a firm vision of my future. Seriously, the relationships which are bothering me now are just NONSENSE.
Let me just look down at them for now. There are much more things I ought to pay attention to.

for my dear friend @ Friday, November 05, 2010
Happy Birthday Yining!! Stay as the bimbo whom I know, lol :)I should stop saying I miss our days back in junior college...but i really mean it.
You, Pei Joo and I hanging out almost everyday, sitting together in lectures and tutorials,
surviving through the tests, SPAs, exams...etc...
I'm grateful I still get to meet up with you even after I left for Japan, and hope we'll continue to keep in touch :)
Time for some nostalgic/embarrasing moments.
I remember how you always cried out that I kept taking unglam photos of you.
Yay, I like this one.
To you and a happy 22nd :)

anne hathaway @ Thursday, November 04, 2010
Yayy, I'm back with some favourite pics I've found from the movie "Valentine's Day".I heard this film was rather similar to "Love Actually" in many ways so as a hard core fan of the latter, I didn't expect much from this film. But...Tata!!!!!!! I loved it very very much.
Since I watch "Love Actually" every x'mas, this would be the film I'll watch every Valentine's.
The cast was awesome, the story wasn't too monotanous, easy to watch and it was so so SWEET!
Among the cast, I love how Anne Hathaway pulled off the character. Moreover, the first fashion shw showed (as seen in the pictures below) is so pretty!
It's rather simple so I hope to coordinate this with my autumn wear.
Another news: I came back from Korea recently, will post pics up soon

my mum and I @ Wednesday, October 13, 2010
The main purpose of my Singapore trip this time was to celebrate my mother's birthday.The date was 10/10/2010..must have been an auspicious day :)
If it hasn't been for my mum, I couldn't have so much joy and happiness in life. She is responsible for every single thing I enjoy till this date. Since I've graduated college, its time for me now to be independent. Support my mother the way she has done over the past 22 years.
Happy birthday and please continue to be my motivation :)
