It's gonna be a long post with many photos, brace yourself! :D

Happy belated birthday to me! I have many many touching moments to share with y'all. Still feeling blessed with all the birthday greetings that I received! Surprisingly, friends who share the same WhatsApp group chats did not wish me through group chats but they individually messaged me privately to wish me. Really touched T.T And friends from facebook, not only wrote happy birthday to me, but other well wishes as well. Ahhh, touched T.T And I felt ultra happy from waking up, to receive all these messages.

I didn't sleep very well the previous previous night because I was too excited about my birthday activities. Haha. I had brunch with Abi, Carol and Wenz at Strictly Pancakes first. Haha they tried to surprise me but somehow I'm too pro already :D But I enjoyed my brunch with them very much! I teared when I read Carol and Wen Yi's card to me. Ultra touched T.T


Then I hung out with NY for the rest of my birthday :):) We ice-skated at Kallang Leisure Park and had ice cream cake at Swensen's and took the Singapore Flyer and had Korean BBQ dinner. Omg. Felt truly truly happy that he planned all these which I had truly no idea about while we were travelling from one place to another. He just kept saying "don't tell you" when I asked where we were going next. It's my first time taking the Singapore Flyer and I really love the night view. But 30 minutes seem really fast.

Even though I've ice-skated once, I honestly don't know how to ice-skate still. Hahahaha thanks to his guidance, I think I'm better now! ^^


So we went to Swens with the intention of eating ice cream cake, but because it's my birthday, we got a free ice cream from them (with a candle on it :D) Hahhahaha. #blessed

The night view from the top of the flyer. Beautiful. And usually one cabin should be filled with many many people but for us, it was just 4 of us, with two other tourist! #lucky

Korean BBQ at Myung Dong :D

And he came early in the morning to pass me my plant soil and seeds before I went to meet the girls for brunch! (I just planted them this morning ^^) Looking forward to seeing it grow into seedlings :3 I hope they do though.


On Saturday, after visiting Jerrie for a little while, Joshua celebrated my birthday earlier with me by bringing me to Gyu Kaku @ CHIJMES. Awesome fooooooooood! And I was craving for BBQ at that time. Perfect timing.


Thank you my dear friends. You all don't know how blessed I feel to have you as my friends. The joys and happiness that all of you bring me!! T.T And I thank God for allowing me to meet you awesome bunch of lovelies :D

Hmm, but ominous things happen. I saw shit lying on the toilet floor and I had to clean it up. My sandal strap broke while I was on my way to Strictly Pancakes (Haha and for the rest of the day, I was in a pink dress and NY's slippers. Some kind of fashion disaster but touched that he brought slippers for me T.T). I stepped on a snail yesterday. AND TODAY, I BROKE THE SHOWER GLASS DOOR while I was trying to close the door and bathe. And it shattered into a million and one pieces. My dad's gonna kill me. Lol. But seriously. It broke. I stood there shocked for a moment before I realised that I had to get out of the shower. Ahh, too ominous. I hope it's not some bad karma. I don't want to be negative about things and I try very hard because they could just be merely coincidences. But seriously, on my birthday and my post birthday? I don't know :(

Last week, 13th July, was First Steps Carnival. Helped out at the Path Less Trodden and I think it's a rather meaningful booth! And I like how we get to walk on bubble wraps, be in a bubble pool where we talk to friends using some guiding questions in the bubble pool! :3


I love what I wrote on my shirt. "COLOUR TODAY" with "today" as an object, like cherish today, create today etc :) I painted NY's shirt for him and when I asked him what he wanted to write, he immediately said "celebrate." Afterwards, I asked him why he responded so fast without any hesitation and I was really touched by his answer :) It was to celebrate and be appreciative of everything :)

Then we spent the night at Marina Barrage till 2plus after the carnival, htht-ing and it was a lovely night. Got to hear his deeper thoughts and feelings and I feel happy when someone could open up to me this much. I'm blessed :)

Then on Sunday, 15 July, I was overseasssss~ To Cameron Highlands!! I love the weather there!! I wish Singapore was that cold. If I could make any wish, I would wish that whichever country I'm in, it'll be cold :D Took a train up to KL and then a coach to Cameron Highlands. And whoa, it's my first time taking the train, KTMB! Bought the cheapest seat so it was really uncomfortable :/ especially when you have to try to sleep in the train because the train trip was in the wee hours of the night.

Train station at JB Sentral. It was a 7-hour ride from JB Sentral to Sentral KL.

Camwhoring~

The KTM Komuter. When we reach Sentral KL, we had to take this train (something like MRT!) to get to Kuala Lumpur to take coach to Cameron at Puduraya.

The interior is quite nice ^^ I must say comparable to our Singapore MRT!

So here we are at Kuala Lumpur!

Reached Cameron and checked into the hotel. It was a cheap hotel and it's comfortable and clean :) Loved the town and hotel that we were staying in!

So we visited like rose centres/garden, markets, butterfly garden, bee farm, strawberry farms, time tunnel museum, tea plantations etc. The food was cheap and we really ate a lot. Hahahah! Oh Cameron is too big for walking, but we didn't rent any cars or vans or drivers or went with tours so we spent a lot of time walking! Oh and sometimes cabbing. Hahahahha. Pretty tiring walk but the weather makes it really nice to walk in, well except on occasions where it rained!

Pretty pitcher plant! (only this one is pretty. I realise pitcher plants look quite ugly :/)

The Rose Centre was filled with so so so so many roses.


Until allllll the way up there. Serious.


And we visited another rose garden! If this was taken at night, it must have looked like some kind of entrance to a haunted house. Hahahha.

We had quite a few strawberry meals :P 


I don't think we can eat much strawberry flavoured stuff for awhile.

A visit to the bee farm!

And strawberry farm!

We went to quite a few strawberry farms but we decided to pick the strawberries from EQ Farm because they are organic strawberries and the strawberries tasted sweet when the guy allowed us to try one! ^^


Visit to the butterfly garden!



Walking to the tea cafe, through the plantations~

HAHAHA CCB. Something random.

I had an absolutely great time there. Wish there could be more holidays like this!

Holidays are gonna end soon! I'm looking forward to staying in Angsana again :) I miss all my friends there!! And Angsana camp is coming soon! Woo! Freshies list are out and I'm eggcited about this camp ^^ Really hope I'll do a good job as an OGL :)

A well-known speaker started off his seminar holding up a $100 dollar bill.

To the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like $100?" Hands started going up.

He said, "I am going to give this $100 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple up the $100 dollar bill.

He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air.

"Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.

He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands stayed up.

"My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $100. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We may feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.

Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who do love you.

The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE.

So, today I just feel like blogging about random stuff.

There's a lot of scratches on the face of my watch. I R V SAD :(

I have this sudden craving for unhealthy stuff recently, like fries, Taiwanese fried chicken, and whatever that is fried. Even though I have ulcers in my mouth -_-

I wish I have lots of money (I can continue wishing lol). So that I can buy many many many floral dresses.

As I was walking to the bus stop earlier on, I could see the shadows of my hair. My hair was slightly curled at the bottom, reminding me of those days where my hair was longer and wavy. I'm looking forward to the day when my hair is long again! And I want it permed (don't try to imagine if you can't cuz it's pretty :3)! Hmm, probably in about a year's time?

The plants, trees, flowers downstairs are strategically and beautifully placed. It feels really nice walking through the area as I made my way home.


I'm thinking of what plant I want to keep in my room. Mint plant? Or some plant that grows nice flowers? I'm really looking forward to planting it! Was just looking around the internet for some ideas on which plant I should grow and found this webbie which wrote about the meaning of roses.
Roses come in many varieties of color but the main ones are yellow, Orange/Peach, Lavender/Purple, Pink, Red and White.Yellow Roses - The sun has always been a symbol of warmth and life giving power. And yellow roses are no different. We give yellow roses to those people we wish to share our joy, delight or happiness with. Yellow roses are a sign of true friendship, of “Congratulations” or “Welcome Back”. Orange (Peach) Roses - Orange has long been a color of vibrant energy. A gift of orange roses means passion, desire or a personal fascination or longing. Peach roses with their more muted colors are a sign of sincerity, gratitude or sympathy. Lavender (Purple) Roses - The lavender rose symbolizes love at first sight. They are a sign of enchantment and mean, “I adore you”. Purple roses are also symbols of instant enchantment but also of elegance and grandeur. Is also a modern sign of alternative relationships. Pink Roses - Grace, gentility and refinement are the meaning of pink roses. This rose is gentle emotions, sweet and innocent thoughts. Pink roses are often given as gift of admiration or simple joy and happiness. Red Roses - This color rose has long been the ancient symbol of love and beauty. The lover’s rose, red roses means steadfast and enduring love. Red is also the symbol of great courage and respect. Its simplest meaning is, “I love you’.White Roses - White is an ancient symbol of purity and innocence in the West. As such white roses are often part of bridal bouquets as a sign of honor, loyalty and for new beginnings. White roses are also a sign of respect or remembrance.

How many flowers you order along with the meaning of different color roses is also important. 1 rose = “love at first sight” or “you are the one” - Lavender for the first and red for the second. 2 roses = Mutual love or attraction - Red or white. Red and white together mean unity. 3 roses = “I love you” - Red. 4 roses = No particular meaning but is considered unlucky in some Asian cultures. 6 roses = “I want to be yours - Red, Orange, Lavender, etc. 7 roses = Infatuated - Orange, lavender, red, etc. 10 roses = “You are perfect!”12 roses = “Be Mine” - red, white, orange, lavender, etc.
WHY NO MEANING OF BLUE ROSE >(

I shall pay a visit to the florist one of these days to see what plant/seed I want for my birthday! (From NY) Hahahahah :D *thick skinned* Looking forward to growing my own plant. I bet my room will be dirty. With all the soil. And omg, will there be worms growing? :O Jac was suggesting to me Pitcher Plant. HAHAHAHHA eat all the insects away. What a great idea.

So anyway, in the morning, I was at the Salvation Army Thrift Store with Jac. Not a big store but there's quite a variety of stuff there. A brown winter coat caught my eye!! I wish I could get another winter coat. Ahh, but sigh, I already have a winter coat at home and I don't think I'm travelling to a winter country any time soon. The coat is really nice. *Still thinking of it* I also have a thing for hats. Red winter hat!! So kawaii.....!!


Then I also saw this cooler there. 30 bucks. Omg cheap right! If I have one, I would love to store milk, yogurt drinks, fruit juices in there in my roooooom :) But well, I want one, but I don't think I really need one. I don't know where I can keep the cooler during the holidays when I'm at home and not at Angsana. But ahh, would love to have one.

I wanna be random.

#7 Your hand looks heavy. Let me hold it for you.

I kinda appreciate my free days these few days. I'm gonna be working next week and I hope I do a good job and will earn a decent amount of money. It's a one week assignment so after next week I'll be more of less free again! I only got offered this job yesterday though. Haha so last week when I was still jobless and was really free, I got really bored and felt that my life was meaningless. But now that I know that I gotta work next week, I just wanna take this time to rest :)

Had a simple day today. I had lunch with Jac at White Sands and then walked to Downtown East to check out the Celebrity gym (not sure if they're really called celebrity gym or not. Haha but I saw a sign which says that) there. Woooo, such a big place. With their membership, you get to attend all the classes that they have there. I wish I had the money though. I think it'll be cool to go for classes like Zumba, Yoga and Pilate! But other than that, I honestly don't quite have the intention to gym outside. Afterall there's a nice gym in UTown once I moved back to Angsana in August :D Anyway, I can always talk to this girl. Hahahha feel comfortable talking about all sorts of things with her. I dropped by her house after downtown east just for awhile before going to the hospital to visit Jerrie!

Stayed at the hospital for awhile before two of her friends came to visit her and I left.

Now I'm just at home, chillin' out.
It feels good to be home early. Guess I've been spending my nights out so often that when I came home, my sis saw me, ran to me and gave me a tight hug. Haha I haven't seen her since last week Friday. That's like almost a week. And when I'm at home in the afternoon, she'll be at school and before she comes back from school, I'll already be out and only be back late at night when she's asleep. So I sometimes don't see her at all.

I don't really know what to feel actually. I know the "need" to be home, but I don't exactly have the "want" to be home. When did I become so heartless?

Anyway I know that sometimes I just think too much.
When we met, I realised I had let go of all those feelings.
There really is nothing to be sad about.

Angsana dry run camp went well for the past few days :)
I volunteered to be the Point-of-contact aka OGL for our House. Hope I'll do a good job in terms of responsibilities :) It's my first time being an OGL! Hope I don't disappoint our fellow councillors and freshies. And looks like Angsana camp will be a lot of fun! Hahaha and for our OG, I think it'll be fun because we're gonna have awesome leaders, awesome cheers, awesome flag and hopefully awesome freshies.
We almost completed our house flag and it looks cute and nice! :D Haha not gonna upload picture here. Shall not disclose any information yet :P Really looking forward to this camp and it's the only camp I'm joining this year ^^

Hmmm, I haven't cried so much in a long time. And yesterday was the first time in don't know how long. I'm not sure if I was just tired or what, but the little disappointment overwhelmed me so much that I couldn't help but the tears just flowed non-stop. I am so thankful and lucky to have him around. As I just cried and cried while he just hugged me, patted me, and he didn't say a single word, but I could feel his presence with me.
I don't know why I cried so much. I didn't think it was anything major, but I just felt quite disappointed. Because of these kind of disappointment that I grew up with, like my mum never knowing when my birthday is and she had to ask me when my birthday is even though she gave birth to me, or in most years (probably every single year actually because I honestly didn't remember any occasion where she wished me), don't wish me at all, or like times when I tell her something but she never seem to be able to remember anything about me etc, I became more particular about dates as I grow up, or at least the things that I have to do, the people I have to meet will always be put on my calendar, lest I forget. Because I don't even want to forget any arrangements/plans or promises I made with people.

Enough with disappointment. Hope I cheer up soon!
