How do you perf

Do you know those days where everything falls into place perfectly, planned or unplanned, where not a single thing goes wrong, and nobody or nothing ruins your mood so you are just beyond happy and content for the whole day? Well  I had a whole week like that in September!

10 September (Monday)

Returned to school for IPP briefing, then had lunch with Dian and Darilene at Upper Thomson 😀
Tried out this place called Ice Edge Cafe at the same old stretch of road I always go.

It was like we found a gem because the food, ambience and service were all so good! They even had a 1-for-1 lunch offer. Initially we were like, “But we have 3 people…” then Dian said “Just order 4” in a very-matter-of-fact manner which made it even funnier and we were like YES.

Pesto Cream Chicken with wedges

The serving is so generous and it tastes awesome!!

Beer Battered Fish ‘n’ Chips

Super big portion and I like this a lot too!

Tom Yum Seafood Spaghetti

At first I was like “Damn so little, should have ordered the same as Dian or Darilene” but turns out it’s quite a lot and I was soooo stuffed! And it’s freaking yummy too!!! ♥ This goes into my list of favourite spaghettis along with Longhouse’s and Pastamania’s 😀

Seafood Aglio Olio Spaghetti

A bit oily but it’s olive oil so nevermind. Really flavourful, nice and unique though!

Basically all 4 items were awesome! 😀 if you are wondering how I remembered the individual names, the answer is I don’t, I had to look it up on their site lololol. Cannot even remember prices! But I think each of us ended up paying only $12+ which is so damn worth it. Not sure if the promotion still exists but it’s only during weekday lunchtime.

Haiya I should take down notes for blogging references but I cannot be bothered especially when it comes to food because all I wanna do is dig in. Anyway, this is my personal blog and not a (food) review blog so who cares.

Visited Salted Caramel for ice cream next! 😀

Earl grey ♥♥♥

Cabbed to AMK Hub to watch Ted!

Doesn’t have me but I like this picture a lot hahaha













Ted was hilarious… I quite like it! Dian and I cried LOL

Anw I’m planning to blog about all the movies released in 2012 that I’ve watched in one whole list (being overambitious again and confirm will procrastinate until dunno when) so more details then! Or you can refer to my film list where the ratings are moderated which means I change them quite every now and then.

Not much else to do after the movie so we went home and I boarded an empty train despite it being peak hour. See what I mean by perfect days?

Also I wanted to blog the whole awesome week in one shot but you and me both have short attention spans so I’ll continue next time. Okay truth is, I’m tired hehe. Not feeling exactly ‘perfect’ these days and I think all the late but fun nights out are taking a toll on me. Life is also full of bad shit that I avoid blogging about.


The day I became a cheerleader

Haven’t been updating because blogging is so inconvenient and un-private. But IPP has been such an enriching experience and no this is not an insight paper. I won’t go as far as to say I love my job (yet) but let’s just say 1) I’m thinking of extending 2) I can’t think of a better place to be 3) If I had to pick again, I would still pick this.

2 weeks ago was company’s Games Day and apparently our division was looking for people to participate in cheerleading. Agreed to go with Sarah because she seemed interested and anyway, we get to claim one day off.

I naively thought it would be very worth it because the event would be only 4 hours on a Saturday morning as opposed to not having to work for one day. Plus waking up that early would mean my day starts earlier and I can spend my time better instead of wasting it on sleep.

Also in my mind, what I’d expected was just us cheering on the sidelines for those participating in the sports. But noooo it was a whole competition by itself and other divisions’ teams started practicing weeks ago but we only had 2 nights left! There was a professional Japanese coach the first night and I had to cancel my Friday plans for this 🙁

Event was at Toa Payoh Indoor Stadium and one of the cheerleaders drove me there and back. Nice right?! Was up at 7ish which is earlier than an average workday. I will never wake up at 7am on a Saturday to do cheerleading for NYP ok. Not that they will want me but my point is I don’t like NYP (other than the food, some lecturers and my friends)?

Feeling fresh and loving the weather 🙂

In the stadium. Our team color was green.
There were free hot dog buns and milo for everyone but Marc drove out and bought McBreakfast for the team 😀

We wrote our division initials on Marc’s forehead also lol
And a very happy-looking me at the back

Piling up all our pompoms

Sarah 🙂


Our division had the smallest numbers that day and we made up most of them… other cheerleading teams had like 20 or 30 people and still got audiences plus other sport teams T_T we were cheering for our two badminton players that’s all LOL

Didn’t know any of them before this other than Sarah cos we’re in the same department but everyone’s so nice.
The guy in specs is an intern as well!

Company bought us matching shirts and socks!

We didn’t win anything but it’s okay, had super loads of fun with everyone over the 3 days! I wanna show you all the video of our performance but I only have the rehearsal ones and they aren’t as good… Oh well. Was so tired after the event and I only reached home at 3pm+ haiya reality versus expectations hahaha.

But it’s like in both directions also because I enjoyed myself more than I think I would. Don’t regret taking part at all. Still thinking of when I should claim my off day hehehe.

Showered and then went to meet Darilene!! 😀
Someone went crazier than usual in shopping and it ain’t me HAHAHA
