Bad decisions make good stories. And I always have a good story.

Everything is awesome

Holla! Contrary to my previous posts, I haven’t been updating not because I’m moping. Far from it. Life’s been exciting with so much going on and whatever free time I have is spent planning my Korea trip and sleeping.

I started using this Sleep Bot app recently and have tracked my sleeping hours for 8 days so far. I feel like it’s like passive aggressively telling me I need to sleep more.

Sleep bot

This is why I’m going to die young. All I can is it’s hard being a night owl in a morning people’s world. But life’s been pretty fantastic the past month!

Week 1: Had the food tasting session at Shisen Hanten, then went for Lobsterfest with my brother, CK and Jeremy. Then days later, brought my brother to eat overpriced ramen and we went to watch The Visit which was such a good laugh despite being a horror film. Then we watched The Green Inferno with Jeremy and CK right after that, before going home and eating our favourite wanton mee at 5am.

On Sunday, my family went to get my pink iPhone!! 😀

Early birthday present from my mum, who paid $778 for it after a $100 discount. It was the last set at the outlet I was at!!! So glad I waited all these while… Been trying to decide between Samsung and Apple for the longest time but pink solved everything.

Earlier I asked Nazreen if she found the 64GB on her S6 enough then she replied, “Errr… I think you take 128GB better.” LOL everyone knows how I snap photos of every single thing I eat etc. So 128GB it is, because go big or go home 😉

Things I love:

– Smooth interface that never lags
– Crisp, clear and vibrant photos
– Auto sorts out selfies
– Selfies in the dark
– Official Elite Daily and Thought Catalog apps
– The ‘ding’ notification sound is eargasmic
– Notification badges telling me I have 2,500 unread mail
– Downloading as many things I like without worrying about space
– Using my phone non-stop without worrying about battery
– Literally a smartphone… so intelligent that I wonder if it’s human

Annoying things:

– Syncing
– Over-enthusiastic autocorrect
– Very selfish, can’t transfer stuff directly from Android
– So byebye all my WhatsApp chat history
– Can’t find any diary, photo manager or Fanfiction apps I like
– Camera albums (why can’t they separate photos I took and photos people sent me?)

Taken at 2am cos sleep is for the weak except for in the day when sleep is for the week.

Week 2: Noon shift week and busy finishing up my food review. My mum also came down to the office to be part of a focus group session we were conducting. It was quite funny. She also told the other participants that I liked my hamsters better than her, but I said that I didn’t buy a $700 SIA plane ticket for my hamsters. Or a $600+ iPad, come to think of it…

Also went for Halloween Horror Nights at USS with Dian, Gerry and Muz! My first time there and I wasn’t really spooked (except on The Mummy ride: “I am going to die”) but it was really awesome seeing everyone again! 😀

Cut and dyed my hair earlier that day too… The colour is not very obvious under normal lighting because I didn’t want anything too bright or light.

Week 3 is just eating non-stop. Hoping to post separate entries for that and every outing mentioned above but I probably won’t have time. Off to Jeju and Seoul in less than two weeks time!! I haven’t finished planning… as usual.

Loving life


Third time timeliness

Is it the new blog design or my recent good mood that makes me want to update on time? I’m trying to finish up this week’s and then keep going backwards but I think that’s probably too ambitious hahaha.

Myojo Spicy Lobster Hot Pot

Myojo Spicy Lobster Hot Pot cup noodles for lunch, courtesy of my mum. It’s actually quite good. Anyway, worked from home today and then went to take a long nap after my shift.

Yesterday (Oct 2) was funny. We were at lunch and I ordered sambal beef rice from the zi char stall. Told the chef there that I wanted the egg to be runny and half-cooked like “last time”. I think my Mandarin must really suck (he wasn’t even PRC and looks as young as me) because he was like, “Cut in half?” I decided to show him a picture instead.

This was the beef fried rice I ordered from the same stall weeks ago (Sep 23 to be exact). Takeaway because I was doing an afternoon shift and the lady boss showed me the perfect egg before packing it. She said it wasn’t peak hour (4pm+)  so they didn’t have to rush. Still perfect even after I returned to office and somehow it really made my day!

Anyway the chef laughed when I showed him my picture. He later brought my food over and asked, “Can?” It wasn’t as flawless-looking but still runny the way I liked it. Eggs are awesome… so is beef.

Nazreen said, “Omg why he so shy like flirting with you?” I told her about my request then she said I stressed him out with my high expectations hahaha.

Anyway I really like their food! The stall is called Hua Jie Kitchen and located at 978 Toa Payoh North, Level 2 where Big Bern’s American Grill is. The air-conditioned kopitiam serves better teh peng than any of the other coffeeshops near my office.

gochapon hamster singapore

CK gave me this hamster gochapon a few days ago and it’s soooo cute!!! I was skeptical when he said it’s meant to cling onto your cups and glasses but I did a search and apparently it’s a trend in Japan. Now I want the whole set…

Can’t believe it’s $5 for one tiny thing like that though! The hamster gochapon machine is in Orchard and CK said it’s the only one in Singapore.

Love looking at my office desk 🙂 Featuring some of my favourite buys from my Europe trip: Eiffel tower from my tour guide, musical box from Switzerland, small Swiss army knife, coloured sand from Dubai, Paris cup from a petrol station, coin box from London.

Bought lots more till I had luggage problems but the rest are at home or given away. Oh and the wine was given to me when I was still an intern I think? I told the rest we could drink it on New Year when it turns a decade old!

smoothie king selfie

Smoothie King and dinner after work yesterday. I cannot take selfies with my own phone anymore ever since cracking the screen 🙁 This is from Yukai’s iPhone.

Oh and remember my previous post? Just Acia replied to my feedback. Hope I managed to make someone’s day at least.
