Post-exam syndrome

A deep breath of freedom. No doubt, we've regained freedom! It's finally the end of our exam for this semester. The chapter is closing. Time flies, in the blink of an eye, we have just completed year one of our university life. This has been the long-awaited moment. To step out of the exam hall and from then on, free from worry and stress for the next four months.

Of course, we ought to celebrate this wonderful moment. To unwind, we went ambush to savour nice treats followed by k-session at safra. This seems to be a norm for we flowers. A post-exam syndrome of endless fun of k-session! i took back my all-time favourite salmon pasta over at ambush. Instead of clam chowder, i decided to go for desserts, tiramisu this time round. It was really tempting to see shu wen had that back then. well, but clam chowder is equally nice too! Ambush is one of my favourite restaurants despite the fact that yesterday was only the second time that i've been to. The reason being its a nice ambience with delightful food , and more importantly, their services have left an indelible mark in us.

Cravings for desserts? You can go for a try for this tiramisu at ambush! sweet sensations! Tiramisu indulgence.And with my all-time favourite there, the wild salmon shell pasta served with thai basil sauce. This is my strong recommendation there. Especially the thai basil sauce; it's very appetizing. Especially if you're a salmon-lover as well...You won't resist the temptation to order a second time during your next visit! erm, but i guess i will go for a new menu dish during my next trip there. i have an urge to try their bratswurt sausage.So, here i am, going to run through a whole collection of photos from yesterday's k-session. Vivian is always an efficient photo uploader. i can always blog very soon the next day after our outing. (*laughs*) Speaking of our outing, this is so far our very first clique outing for this semester. To be exact, an official one. For those who have been following my blog, you would have seen familiar faces of my clique peeps in earlier entries tagged with birthday celebration. For the previous few months of this semester, we were also having fun together, but its more towards birthday surprises and celebration rather than an outing. Even if there is, we were busy shopping away for presents, haha...

i managed to satisfy my cravings for singing yesterday. Sang a whole lot of songs. I have been telling myself after watching autumn's concerto that during my next visit to k-box, 《我爱他》,《幸运草》,《亲人》and《你为什么说谎 》 would definitely be under my songs selection list. A pity i could only sing 2 out of the 4 songs 'cause the KTV songs list doesn't have all four. Still, it was a great feeling having to sing despite only the two songs.

Oh no, i just realized i didn't capture any photo together with shu wen. i'm still waiting for the full clique photo in her camera:)

It's wonderful knowing flowers. We seem to have endless fun whenever we are together. Joking and crapping; our forte! Our minds are always occupied with new outing ideas, new surprises for individual's birthday. To sum it all up, i would use this word to describe our clique- creative. A uniquely creative clique!:D

Cheers to our one year anniversary friendship! it's been a year... ...

Freedom is nearing


Awwwww! Screams* First rhetoric paper is down and with the second one (Reading in Children's Literature) which is also the last one coming thursday, we'll be exam-free for this semester. The second semester is coming to an end soon; time flies... Loads of fun are awaiting us during this upcoming holiday. i'm very looking forward to the june period which is going to be the most happening part of my holiday if everything goes all well as planned. My friends and I have long made plans for a short holiday trip to bangkok during this coming june period. we've even gotten the flights and hotel booked in advance. However, we know that bangkok is in a chaos state currently and definitely we would not want to take the risk. i do hope that we can successfully change to another destination; chaos-free. Perhaps we may consider some sight-seeing, scenery-captivating places or nice beach areas in other countries.

Not just that, i'll also be attending cousin's wedding this coming june 11th. Mum has hinted me to rent a car and drive the family over to the wedding venue. Of course, i would very much love to. i'm all out to get my hands on the steering wheel once again!

Following up next, i'll be involved in a 2D1N camp, a june holiday special programme organised by a centre. So, nightingale facilitator, here i come! My buddy is joining me in this time round's event as well. Excited. There's still many more activities left unmentioned but most importantly, this upcoming four months holiday is a great opportunity for me to catch up with all my good friends. i miss you guys!!!♥♥♥ Hope you all are doing fine ya'.

Last paper to go! Let's strive for the best!:D



(P.S. By the way flowers, is the kbox outing after our last paper still on this coming thursday? *laughs*)

Out on a venture for new hang-out!

Ever had any experience visiting a cosy and comfy entertainment area where you can chill-out with your friends and have unlimited boardgamings during your stay? Not just that, the loads of fun and laughters that you're gonna have there. As you start to reminisce the old childhood days when you played boardgamings with your playmates. These are all good old memories back in the past...well, but it doesn't mean you can't have them back now. Though we are adults-to-be, we can still indulge in all these boardgamings fun and have a whale of time NONE OTHER in DE CODER'S CAFE!!!

In comparison of de coder's cafe with minds cafe, i preferred de coder's cafe to minds. The reason being its so much cheaper and convenient. De coder's cafe is located around clementi area; for those staying around the west side, i believed it should be quite convenient for all. Earlier last sunday, i made my first trip down with sok and wk to de coder's cafe to have our first ever experience there. lt was marvellous! we played games like cluedo, uno stackers, taboo etc...Our favourite games were cluedo and taboo! Taboo is a guessing-word game which is rather challenging. Somehow, the player who is giving the clues to another player who is guessing seemed to be more uptight (*laughs*) There are some little tricks hidden in this taboo game. For example, if you will to pick up a card with the word on it -MASS RAPID TRANSIT, you can say it in a way like (MRT in long form). The player will be able to guess it correctly within the shortest time! Alternatively, if you have this kind of word like "obscure" which is a bit difficult for the player to guess. You can choose to break up the word-form into obs-CURE. You can prompt the player to guess the behind word (-CURE) first and gradually prompt him later to guess the front part which is OUTSWARD BOUND SINGAPORE in short form- "OBS". Afterwhich, ask them to combine the two words together and they will get this final answer right! This is a tactic taught to us by one of the assistant crews there. i just come to realize there's so much hidden tactics and fun behind a simple word-guessing game! Cluedo is one other game which is exciting and challenging. we seemed to have transformed into detectives!


i like the background colour of de coder's cafe! its a mixture of red with black colours:)



Alright, just a short entry here; got to rush off to school for submission of assignments soon!
Finally after 2.30pm later, assignment workloads will be completely off my mind... lts time to concentrate solely on revision.

April Babies , not april fool...tsktsk


We have our two April babies here with us, they're NONE OTHER than Vivian and Peiling! The last two april babies who have just turned 21 this year! Consecutively the previous two weeks on saturday, me and my clique went to attend 2 parties; the first one was vivian's and next pei ling's. Peil ing's ice-cream cake is AWESOME! Vivian's theme is an interesting one- headgear. As long as you have something on your head, be it hat, pins, hairband etc, you fit the theme! For me, i wore a hat over to her party.

Through these few months from feb to april, i've been to different parties of my friends' in my uni clique. i had a *taste* of different themes during their 21st party, explored new hunt-outs ranging from pasir ris chalet to Cdans resort to home parties which are suitable for the organization of a 21st party. Nonetheless, i savoured a variety of cakes, from fruit and nutty cake to durian cake to coco exotic to swensen ice-cream cake!!! Mouth drooling!!!

Seeing my friends preparing for their 21st party makes me excited in planning my own one as well. I know that the whole process of planning is going to be a tedious one for you have to make calls to catering, venues as well as ordering a cake. However, all these will be a worthwhile! Definitely. lts only on that actual day when you see all your friends and relatives coming down to celebrate with you, i guess you'll be the most happiest birthday gal/boy on that day!!! i can't wait for my 21st to come...

Before i end this entry, i would like to hereby dedicate a birthday song to all the april babies (vivian, pei ling, xiang na, xiao li, jana, adeline)

Happy birthday to YOU
Happy birthday to YOU
Happy birthday to (BIRTHDAY GIRL)
Happy birthday to YOU~

To all my april baby friends, hope you had a great day on this special occasion of yours. For those whose birthday are not over, do have a great one too! Wishing you guys all the best for your future endeavour and may whatever your heart desires for your birthday COMES TRUE!!!

(P.S Special thanks to my bestie, sok for lending me the hat!)

下一站。。。是。。。幸福!

Hellooo netizens, apologies that it has been quite some while since i last updated my blog...Previous few weeks were kept busy with school assignments (tons and tons of workloads), preparation for friends' party and NONE other than chasing this taiwanese drama show- autumn's concerto. Initially i intended to leave this show to the end of exam. ln the end, i couldn't succumb to temptation after few mentions by friends. Well, it's always the case when it comes to watching drama shows, and what's more, romance drama; my favourite genre!

Autumn's concerto (下一站,幸福) is indeed a very touching and sweet show. I felt that it was on par with 命中注定我爱你。Currently, these two are my top favourite taiwanese drama shows. Just one word to describe -Superb. lf you've yet to watch this 21 episodes' autumn concerto, you ought not to miss it. Trust me, you'll cry almost every episode. My heart simply goes out to the main female lead in the show having to lead such a life since young...

“ 有些人的人生,是直达车,有些人却是慢车,中间总要经过许多站,经历许多人。。。有人总是下错站,坐过头,不是错失了窗外风景,就是错过了身旁的人没有人知道,能陪自己坐到终点站的人,究竟会是谁。。。相爱的人,真的就能一路到达人生的终点站吗?”

我们的人生在这一站相遇,是否也能够一起抵达下一站的幸福。。。

Touching slogans, background music, nice story plot as well as marvellous acting skills of the actresses and actors. Hurry and catch it if you've not. Below are few lovely photos which i'm adding to my ablum collection:D


安以轩(Ady An), 小小彬,吴建豪(Vanness Wu)
安以轩是我的偶像了!TskTsk...
一段感人的爱情故事。。。
为爱而牺牲。。。
为爱而付出。。。
为爱而勇敢。。。
只要有你的那一站,就是幸福♥♥♥
(P.S. 小小彬好可爱哦!)
