the boy

The last I'll see of him in the east till his exams end.

Study hard and be good. 

<3 p="">

so close..

What TFIG? 
What Happy Weekends? 
It's just another normal day (maybe worst!) 
when you have examinations on both weekends :(

Unfortunately, or fortunately,
my examinations fall on the first day and the last two days of exam season.
It's kind of sh*tty when you know you ends exams LAST,
but then again you have more time to prepare. 
Think of the opportunity cost.

Think positive thoughts.

One more to go!

For the rest of you.

west is best? east is home!

And so, this marks the end of my study camp in the west.

(which means exams is tmr. oh no)

Gonna miss the library that I've been mugging in for the past 4 days,

trying to hunt for seats near powerpoint every day.

And walking through the crowded common area that spells life.

Totally beats mugging at home and facing 4 walls.

Thanks for accomodating.

See you next sem! :)

date (sorta)

Journey to the west yet again. 

I think I must learn endure a 2-hour train ride because my butt gets so numb by the time I reach the West. 

Just a short visit to keep us sane. 

Which means I travelled 2 hours to and fro just to have dinner with him.

And.. a movie :p

:)

School's OUT!

Hello there, TERM BREAK!

It's one of those rare times where the words "Time's up. Pen's down" sound so melodious. After busy scribbling for the past 2 hours and trying to battle the aircon that was on full blast, we had just finished the LAST paper of the semester. Having said that, we've survived one semester! It's just surreal how I've only started university life 3 months ago, and here I am, having accomplished and conquered 3 modules and forged a lot more friendship that I never thought I would. This, is the magic of school life. How you thought you will never have any friends, and then at the end of it you just prove yourself wrong :)

To celebrate the end of exams, majority of my classmates decided to chill out a bit. And having your school situated near town area, it's just so convenient. Made our way to Jigger & Pony which was located at amoy street. My first time there!

Stepping into the place, we were greeted by friendly service crews who were ever so attentive. Further ascertained by the speed they refilled our chips throughout our time there. It was a cosy little place with nice music and dim orange light. There were about 9 of us, so being able to find seats was quite lucky. Probably, the fact that it was a Wed night.

We ordered a punch bowl- Satan's bowl to share. It was an alcoholic drink with a punch of citrus. Quite yummy. And we ordered many of its sides to share. Not a major fan of steak so didn't try the steak sandwich. But I did try the Baked Mustard Chicken which was SO GOOD, I couldn't resist taking more than just a few mouthful. It was really flavourful and it comes in friendly bite sizes. No un-glam-ness at all! The mushroom crepe I thought was slightly too light. I initially thought it would those creamy mushroom with the strong cream taste. But it turns out that it was a little dry with a stronger fungi taste.

But all was good. We had good laughs, good food, good fun. More fun times to come! :))

mugging episode 2

Westside story 2 begins again and I feel so terribly bad to have to impose on his roomie again =X. Good thing he's kind of alright with it. And so, the routine begins again. It's quite effective and bearable for me since  it's only for a few days. But they do it every single day, I'm in awe. 

But it's nice how in the middle of the night when you get hungry and walk to the pantry to cook noodles and then you meet people you know and start making small chats. 

That's the end of my westside story. So gg to miss the cheap food, pretty library and all.

 empty library at 7-ish pm

le boy trying to terrorize me with his water bottle

gg crazy from overdose of mugging and wanting to wear my owl necklance and insisting that it's nice on him. *kuku*

total roomie love! Wearing the same shirt colour without any arrangement.

 cheap and tasty lunch!

chicken cutlet rice @$2.80 only. So missing this now!

day 3

study/movie/dinner date

Yay! That marks the end of my second paper. Just one more to go! Had lunch with the bulk of the classmates @soup spoon because the Q at Tim Ho Wan was too INSANE! And while everyone else went home to relax or some sort, I was gg to start mugging all over again :( But I guess that's the only thing you can do with a bf who's busy with upcoming exams too. Well, surely study date is another kind of dating too. #optimistic 

But at least I didn't have to wake up early to 'chope' place at the national library. All I had to do was walk in and TADAH! iIhad a seat all ready for me. Slightly inconsiderate but I guess it's kind of a Singapore culture. Waking up early> 'chope' seat> hog for hours. Plus the weather is so incredibly hot, mugging in an air-con-ed place is a MUST. And I must say national library's study lounge at level 5 is SO SO nice. There's a nice view, food and drinks are allowed is so thoughtful plus there had vending machines for both food and drinks in the room itself. There's even recycling bins inside which I think is pretty clever. You know how when people are studying they jot things down on rough paper that they will eventually discard. Now they have just the right place to dump them, and play a part in being environmentally all at once! Good move.

Well, studying becomes a lot more efficient when you know there are perks at the end of it. Had a good dinner at Carly T's, ultilising the Groupon deal that le boy bought for us. It's quite a deal really- $8 for $20 worth of food & drinks. The service crew was friendly and smiley, even explaining some of the dishes and what they are. You know how at times western dishes like to have a lot of fanciful names which you can barely make out of. Ordered a burger that came with corn chips as sides and a quarter chicken with 2 sides- mac&cheese and butter garlic rice. Well, I must say mac & cheese from Kenny Roger beats hands down, no others can dispute that fact. I would recommend that if you ever eat at Carly's, avoid mac and cheese, but the garlic rice is not so bad, could be a little more flavour though. The burger tasted LIKE pizza. 100%. Good thing if you love pizza, if not then do give it a miss. But their speciality was the chicken and i tell you it's a MUST-TRY! The meat was so tender and juicy, with its skin crisps. I would certainly go back again just for the chicken! A little advice- the food portion is a little small (even for me).

 And perk no. 2- movie! Caught Oblivion starring Tom Cruise. He's unbelievable hot despite his age i must say. It's an interesting sci-fi movie, effects and actions were good. But the ending is abit of a ...

the cutleries are so cute

 interesting campaign at lvl 5's toilet. 

ridiculous day @work

Took half day off at work to get ready for exams tmr and tmr tmr. And found the most convenient place to study with water, vending machine, toilet, good lightning and ample of seats- office's pantry! What's more there level 3,4 & 5 to choose from. Since i work on level 5, I decided to head down to level 4 instead. Imagine while studying you keep meeting people you know and having to make small talks. Too distracting!

Level 4 was nice. The only problem is the tv was so near, I kept wanting to watch it. Even though it was a horror movie and I never liked watching horror movies, I couldn't help it. I guess anything is more entertaining than your notes. But after the movie ended, it was a little more conducive. Haha.

Plus I met this guy who walked over to make small talks with me even though it was obvious that I was totally plugged in and sucked into my world of Swift, Lavine and Clarkson. And at the end of the talk he asked for my number. It was a ridiculously funny sight. And I am so convinced that I must not have a bf whom I met from work. Imagine my love story- oh i met him from work where he came over and asked if i wanted some sushi. NOOOO! Not happening!

Okay. Back to mugging. Good luck to myself for tmr's paper :)

mugging episode 1

And so, my westside journey begins. Spent the past few days in the concentration camp to mug for upcoming exams have proved to be quite fruitful. I guess it's the only place possible where you could mug for up to 10 hours a day. Pretty incredible. I'd probably only complete 10 hours of studying in a week at home. The daily routine is simple: wake up at close to noon > lunch > library > dinner @almost 8 > more mugging till 3-4am. The cycle begins. Of cos i get to sleep more than the two roomies cos I had no lessons to attend. So, this is uni life =O

But certainly, there are some are some perks and joy of a student. Was heading back to hall with le boy and somehow ended up helping his friends packing the hall's welfare pack. Looking at all the different goodies from different sponsors spread out all across the entire room like a messed-up place after destruction. And then the packing begins, like millions of factory workers at work. Of cos i was exaggerating, there were only slightly more than 10 pairs of hands. And by the time we were done, more than an hour has passed. I guess this is the kind of entertainment and bonding with friends you get with while staying in school. Not forgetting all the extra goodies that we happily 'kop' back to our rooms :)

Certainly missing school life like that. All the times where I stayed back in school to help out with anything but schoolwork- painting banners, packing co room, doing up the co notice board, planning event... It's endless and i wish i still had time to afford to do such things. #feelingold

Oh well, there marks the end of the westside story. 3 exam papers ahead of me. Go go go!

seeing him first thing every morning is kinda blissful
