What next?

Choosing a career path is such a big decision. I don't know what I should apply for because nothing seems to appeal to me. I need some enlightenment.

So many things I want to do but I don't have enough time!

1. JOB APPLICATIONS. This is my top priority now, more important than catching up with school work. I really really really hope to get a job I like. I'm really putting in lots of effort so please bring me some good news.

2. Catching up with school work. Yes, I finally feel the NEED to catch up after 2 weeks of school. I'm too lost during lessons and it's worrying. I still want to pull my cgpa if I can. For once, please let my cgpa increase? I want to get the best results I ever had in uni, is it too ambitious?

3. Revamp my room. So many things to pack!! My wardrobe is in a huge mess. I need to throw/donate my clothes and make space for new ones. I feel like taking a picture of my wardrobe but I will be spoiling my image of a neat girl. HAHA. I also want to repaint my walls and make my room more spacious! NEED TO GET RID OF LOTS OF SOFT TOYS/BAGS/BOOKS/BOXES. Okay I have too many things in my room.

4. Learn to ZTZC. I have always wanted to do this but it requires lots of hardwork and commitment.

Big decisions

Visited the career fair yesterday and it left me more confused. I know I won't be happy being an auditor, but I'm not the kind that needs to be happy in what I do. I accept many things very easily and I will do my best in whatever I land up in. Just like how I studied Accountancy when I didn't even know what I was in for, but still survived anyway.

I want to move away from my degree but I don't have the balls to. I really don't feel like doing audit because of the long hours and mundane work. If I do audit, I know I'm just doing it because everyone else is doing it, it just seems like the only right choice. It is a safe path because there are good opportunities (and money) that comes if you put up with it for 2 years which is pretty enticing.

On a random note, it takes so much effort to come up with a good resume and cover letter!! I'm forever procrastinating when it comes to that. With my limited vocabulary and average writing skills, I don't know how I am going to secure any interview. For once, I really really want to get something I want. 

1 day trip to Johor Bahru

Headed to JB with my mum and bro 2 weeks back. Things there are so CHEAP! 1 sgd to 2.5 rm, so worth it please! Spend money like water, I managed to shop quite a bit! :D

Had breakfast at Amoy Food Street Centre before heading to JB. My favourite LOR MEE. It's the best I have ever eaten so far, lots of ingredients and not too sticky!

After shopping around, we had lunch at a Japanese restaurant.

My favourite baby octopus! 

Chicken karaage

Caught a movie Upside Down. The movie was really awesome, I don't really watch movies because they bore me most of the times but this one managed to keep me interested.


It's about 2 worlds, the Up and Down (literally), each with its own centre of gravity. The Up is rich and prosperous while the Down is poor. Going Up is strictly forbidden. A boy from Down world met a girl from Up world and fell in love. They would meet on their mountains and the guy will use a rope to pull the girl towards Down. When they hold on to each other, they form an anti-gravity object that floats. Something happened and they got separated when they were young but you got to watch to find out what happens. I love the graphics of the show, I find it very awesome how they film the up and down together!

So at level 0, that's where the Up and Down can see each other. 

Honestly the first thing I thought was, won't zao keng meh? HAHA. But since there is gravity pulling it down so it won't happen.

She used the tree for support so that she would not float back Up.

I don't know if it has shown in Singapore or will be shown, but I think you should catch it! I really find it quite cool!

Garrett-like popcorn and it was very cheap! Oh we bought premium seats as well for about half the price of the normal seats you get in Singapore. The seats there were so good and comfy! Definitely will go back there to catch movies and shop!

Long lost roti boy, still as good.   

Taiwan dessert store that was recommended by mum's friend. 

Grass jelly with lots of ingredients. Was super super full by then, but still finished a bowl on my own. :8

Bedok 85 + Udders

Had an impromptu makan party with a very random group of friends! Just 4 of us and we ordered a crazy amount of food! Chicken wings, satay, stingray, char kway teow, fried carrot cake, oyster omelette, bak chor mee & sugarcane! No more space for ah balling but we headed to udders for ice cream instead!

Is udders supposed to be good for waffles? I felt that the waffles was alright only, probably only looks pretty for a picture. I would rather have the ice cream on its own. Love the flavours we ordered that day! Mao shan wang, rum & raisin, snickers mars honeycomb vanilla & awesomely chocolate!

Met up with LLBBDD for dinner at a Turkish restaurant called Sofra. Turkish food reminds me of the Baklava I had in Saint John. Saw it on the menu too but didn't order! Hmm I'm not very familiar with Turkish food so I had a hard time choosing. Nothing seems to appeal to me. Settled for this chicken patties in tangy tomato sauce. Anything tomato based can't go wrong!

Prawning

My virgin experience prawning! Moreover it was a late night prawning session. Prawned from 11pm to 4am! Amazing, I haven't been out till so late before. But I guess because I'm already 21, so I have the freedom now. :D Anyway, it was to celebrate johnnyboyboyboy's birthday! Haven't seen all the hallies since I went on exchange, especially the big 5 (& friends). I don't stay in hall anymore so I won't get to see them very often. :/

The funny thing is, I didn't catch a single prawn at all. I didn't even hold the rod or attempt to prawn at all. Just sat there, ate cockles and chit chat. I was so sleepy and tired when it was 1am+ (signs of ageing?) I think they caught 60+ prawns in total. We finally BBQ-ed at 3am+ and the prawns were really good with the super spicy chilli.

I think it's quite a nice place to chill the night away. Can have supper while prawning, peaceful place and good ambience. I wouldn't mind going back again, and this time I will attempt to prawn.

Happy Sunday

Craved for tau suan and my mum cooked one whole big pot for me! So yummy that I had 4 large bowls of it. When I say large, I really mean it. Each serving I had was 6 ladles full. You will be surprised how much I can eat when it comes to food I love. I'm so greedy :8 The best part about home made tau suan is that you can spam as much you tiao as you want, I always feel that they give very little you tiao outside and I always finish the you tiao faster than the tau suan. I love the combination of tau suan with you tiao! My mum bought good you tiao too, it was still very crispy unlike the soggy ones you get outside.

Finally visited Changi Village again! The previous time I went straight to Chock Full of Beans and didn't enter the hawker. Back at my favourite stall this time, I feel that the standard isn't as good now. But I'm not a picky eater, so this was still alright and I still like it because they give lots of ingredients! Not bad for $3.50.

I also finally introduced red tea jelly with longan to my family! The past few times I was always there too early and the stall is always not opened yet! Although I'm a eastie, I never knew this was a popular dessert until I went for NBS camp and got to try it. I don't think they sell this elsewhere right? Or maybe it's just more rare. Mum felt that the shaved ice can be thinner though. 

Sent my CJDBZ off at night as she is leaving for exchange in Netherlands! How I wish I went to Europe too!! She even passed me a letter before she flew, so touched! I love receiving letters, and her letter was so wise and so sincere. :') Made me reflect quite abit on my way home. 

And lastly, a sinful popeye's supper before heading home!
