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

Just like home

So you might noticed I randomly disappeared again after a string of consistent updates hehe -_- Madness, August is over!! Which means I’m back at work and yesterday was my first day even though I’ve already been here a year 😛

Gonna just make a quick update of what I’ve been busy with during my one month holiday. First week was basically just slacking around in my world of fiction, second week was spent nursing my guinea pig, third week was spent in Bangkok and I’ll be sharing mostly about the fourth here.

Went back to office last Friday (30 Aug) to give out my Bangkok gifts and also because it was Hui Min and Meredith’s last day! Mini 3-way celebration with sushi, cupcakes, and laughter. So delish!! 😀

I missed this place… best bunch of people ever. Been nervous about doing Lollipop/MYP/night/weekend shifts but they have been so reassuring and patiently showing me the ropes.
Following photos from Meredith’s instagram!

Anyway, first thing Editor asked when I came into office was if I dyed my hair and we were all very impressed with how observant he was hahaha.

Hope everyone liked the small purses even though it’s nothing much. Was worried that they wouldn’t like the colours. I picked for the girls with their favourite colours/designs in mind (which I got right ^^) and neutral colours for the guys. Kenneth immediately transferred his coins over and said, “Don’t say I never use ah…” hehe yay.

Would love to see his reaction when he comes back :’D

I’ve spent so much of my time here that it feels like a second home. Can you believe I’ve been part of this small yet awesome team for a year already??? Hope that everything goes well and I’ll be able to overcome all the new challenges coming my way!

Also visited the Laptop General Hospital with my parents one morning to collect mom’s laptop.
What an odd and adorable name.

More random photos of food from the same week:

I’m so proud of this photo. Cup noodles has never looked better. All thanks to my mom’s iPad which I have been using a lot. And not forgetting my mom who made the noodles for me 😛

Mixed vegetables rice from one of my favourite stalls near my house. Been eating it since young ^^
Taken from my phone as you can tell from the drop in quality -_-

My dad always buys us such a wonderful spread of dishes and our favourites regardless of what we are eating. Then his own meal will look so plain compared to ours… same goes for my mom :’) Then we will end up exchanging ingredients so everyone gets everything. I love dinners where everyone is present.

Maccha House

Dinner with You You on Thursday (29 Aug) at Orchard Central’s Maccha House before watching The Purge. Really underrated place, probably because of its location because OC is always so deserted. Furthermore, it was hidden away in the basement. Oh well, I love quiet places with no people.

Maccha House

Love my tasty spicy pork rice! So much meat and the prices are really reasonable. No service or GST charge too! Definitely going back to try all their Matcha desserts which looked so good.

Maccha House

You You’s ramen with the proper Japanese egg 😀

Been busy packing my stuff too so as to make space for my enormous Bangkok haul. Yeah I know, I know, my room is super messy thanks to all my clothes and this is not even my whole wardrobe. Some I’ve bought for more than a year and still have yet to wear while others have only been worn once or twice. Sigh why am I so extravagant?

Thank goodness for this mobile app called Carousell which Hui Min introduced to me.

Simply snap photos of what you wanna sell on your mobile device and upload it here. Then you can meet other buyers/sellers. Best thing is it’s completely free of charge! Good way of getting rid of clothes I don’t want. I’ve sold about 6 items in 3 weeks and made $40+. Much better than just throwing away right?

Just for laughs LOL I love my baby too much. Have removed it though, in case I got reported and suspended. You’re not allowed to sell animals but I’ve seen rabbits, cats, hamsters and even a giant terrapin. Feel so sad for them.

Gave my baby a shower one sunny day the same week :3
Can’t get over how cute guinea pigs are… especially mine!!!

Love her many expressions

Relaxing while drying off. She was such a good girl during the shower that I let her help herself to her favourite food, straight from the bottle 😀 I don’t know why she likes the pellets and stuff so much. We call it her Happy Meal ^^

In a super good mood so far too because Monday went smoothly.

– Completed one Carousell deal
– Fantastic weather as it rained the whole night
– Mom made yakitori for dinner and cheesecake for dessert
– It’s my off day so it feels like I returned to work for only one day
– Yadda yadda and loads more, so much love and gratitude for all I have in life! ❤❤❤


Memorable conversations + my reactions

Still in Bangkok but I’m prepared hehehe 🙂 Here are snippets of conversations I’ve had in my head for awhile because I like them so much :3 Unloading them here plus these are things I’d want to shelf away for memory’s sake in the future.

*talking about bunbunmakeuptips and her breakout incident at work*

Me: Actually I find her quite pretty.
Kenneth: Are you sure?
Me: Ya, with makeup pretty, without is okay, but now no la.
Kenneth: Huh serious? I think you look nicer.

I was totally like this picture in my head hahaha. Sigh but I was also thinking, “Maybe… if I was thinner’.

touched meme

*trying to pick best photo aka the one with the prettiest girls for club event*

Terence: How much would you rate this girl?
Me: Maybe… 6? 6 plus?
Terence: You go take a photo la. I give you 8.
Me: Siao ah. (totally in reflex, I swear)

I wish I could believe you but I am so not anywhere near an 8!

shy meme

*Talking about BCG injection in the past*

Someone: Actually what do they inject you with? Some virus?
Me: World War Z…
Kumar: Stop watching so many movies.

HAHA I am proud of all the movies I can reference and quote okay 😀 After all, how can I let all those time spent watching movies be in vain? Once someone mentioned a movie I’d watched and Huimin said, “She (me) always becomes like that (fangirl mode: eyes light up, animated voice, etc) when talking about movies. ^^

proud meme

*Talking about weight loss*

Meredith: I want to lose 10kg.
Me: Me too.
Everyone: What?! But if you lose 10kg, you’ll only be XXXkg!
Me: But isn’t that the point…?
Kumar: Cherlynn you trying to promote anorexia?

I know it’s stupid but it makes me happy to know that people think I look fine (because I don’t) enough to be anorexic if I lose more weight. Sorry that 3 of these snippets are about my looks/weight hahaha I’m so depressing and shallow 🙁

cute meme

*talking about Paranormal Activity*

You You: I can smell the fifth one already.
Me: Same! it’s not even that nice but we know we are gonna watch it anyway.
You You: Why do they keep making the movies ah?
Me: Because there are people like us.

Well… it is tradition 😉 #seewhatididthere #tvdreference #delenaquote

shrugging meme

*Trip to JB with David who I wasn’t even touching in any way*

Promoter: Buy give your wife.

poker face meme

*Another trip to JB, buying tickets for The Conjuring*

Counter guy: Any kids?

I don’t even have a reply to any of these… I am so not old okay?!

eyebrow raised meme

*complaining about how people are nice only because they expect something in return*

Me: Like this annoying guy… keep buying me things even though I said I don’t want them.
David: You don’t want, just keep and give me. Say you stress and want to smoke, ask him buy you cigarettes then give me.
Me: *continuing with rant* I just relented and gave him money because I don’t wanna take his things for nothing.
David: Don’t need give him money, save the money and treat me to movies.
Me: Then he said. ‘It’s ok, you just owe me dinner’. (which brings me back to the point of my complaint)
Me: *sudden realisation* Eh if I give you the gifts I receive… it’s like you are my pimp.
