wew two weeks worth of photos!! so glad to be in this lovely community of christ-followers :) sumo today and skinny eye went to fight smallies and had a victory!!! whoop! oh and today i found out that you get charged 2 bucks if you stay inside the mrt station/train (don't tap out) for too long. how? i overstayed and had to pay. tskkkkkkkkkk. 

had a rather eventful week : random outing to dhoby on monday HAHA walked all the way to sota just to use their clean toilet. tuesday was uneventful and boring because i had to study gp but i am glad i did! gp is getting slightly more manageable maybe because at least i know something about global issues unlike art and governments and all. wed was gp paper after which i went out with louiedooey to lola's cafe!!!!! ended up sharing a table with jonboh and estee it was quite funny. bumped into a few others there too including cute audrey goh hehe. thursday was the last gm ever and we surprised jiaying at her house!!!!! sadly she kind of knew it was us but i like how we can always appear at her doorstep whenever we want to :> friday was boring as usual until school ended HAHA had lunch at thomson hahaha finally tried the dimsum at the dimsum place at thomson despite living there for like what 13 years. it was quite nice! then tauhuey then off to piano then went to the florist to grab some flowers before meeting plum for dinner. went to some hiro cafe(??) thingy at botanics which i suspect is burger shack after makeover. then hc dance concert where i saw shihui dance!!! the last time i saw her dance was in primary school HAHAHA. good to see old friends again. then we surprised plum HAHA outside a toilet she totally didn't expect it and i think she is really really touched now. yesterday was boring except for water bap at night congrats to yixin laura ryan ang and justin! proud of u guys for taking a bold step in your christian faith :)))) 

whoa just summarised the week in a paragraph lets hope this will be useful when i'm updating my typo planner.....

i think i am slowly morphing into an introvert. i don't like big groups anymore, big groups are starting to make me feel awkward and out of place. i prefer one to one time with people i love. nowadays i try really hard to avoid eye contact with acquaintances so that i don't have to greet them with a superficially happy hi. as opposed to last year when i was so excited to meet new people and like, make friends. i think i just realised that not everyone is your friend. the better word to use would be acquaintances. i think it's so much more important to spend quality time with your friends than to waste hours on people who you probably won't see anymore past this stage of your life. especially when time is so limited now. so many things are vying for your attention. so how??? make choices lor....................... 

ok bye laptop at 10% better post this before it dies

all good things come to an end

"what hurts the most was being so close" 

he chose the foolish to shame the wise

i always think i am lousy and not good at anything, and feel really bad about it. most people have something they are really good at, and some people are so multi talented it makes me feel so useless. 

but has it ever occured to you that sometimes the less you have, the greater the capacity you have to receive? the less you are, the more God is able to make you, the more you are able to grow. i think growing is kinda like a logarithm graph kind of thing. when we were young, every year seemed like a big milestone of our lives but once we hit 15-16 every year just kinda feels the same. i guess it's the same thing with abilities. the less we have the more we appreciate and cherish things when they come. 

our inadequacies are made whole in God :) 

happy days

HAHAHA lazy to turn on the com so no pictures for now. but anyway today was a good day! went to wheeler's yard for lunch the journey there was already quite an adventure HAHA I don't think we had any idea where we were going. or at least I didn't. but anyway after much trudging in the sun we finally reached. wheeler's yard is rly pretty!!!! very hipster place but it's nice :) food wasn't exceptionally great though, we paid ten bucks for a noob cheese fries. the burger was not bad though. I don't think it was as bad as the reviews made it out to be hahahaha it was actually quite nice!! we forgot to take a photo and split the burger so we had to place it back nicely on the plate HAHA. but it looks not bad so yay us! :> 

went back to school by 130 and missed my stop so I ended up in Thomson garden instead. impromptu decision to visit my old estate since I was nearby. it felt so familiar, like nothing really changed. could still imagine myself walking home from the prata bus stop after school. cept for a few trees cut down and some walls repainted, everything else is still pretty much the same. I miss my old estate, I really do. it's much cosier and we were actually close to our neighbours, unlike now I don't even recognise the faces of whoever lives next door. the best part is our old house currently isn't occupied so yay even more familiar feels ~~~ 

anyway the rest of the day was spent doing a bit of work and exercising!!! though we didn't run much we had fun and moved. hehehe.

anyway on Sunday kok and rose came to church!! didn't get to sit with them cause I was serving but it's k. anyway, we went to penny university after service!!!!!!!!!!!! finally got to try what I've been wanting to try for a gazillion years. the food is really good!!! or maybe I'm just a sucker for eggs royale. the desserts were not bad too hehehehe would def come back again. spontaneous decision to go to kok's house where we just chilled and spent nice time together. hehe. thankful for nice company!!!!! also for Thursday's sudden llaollao.

life is full of happy things so far, except that it's lacking a bit of studying. gotta seriously commit to working harder!!!!!! everyone slap me i need to wake up omg

since i was formatting and uploading photos i decided to just add on to this post HAHAH. so anyway yesterday was a really good day hehe impromptu plans to meet triangles finally succeeded!!! we spent months trying to meet but to no avail but yesterday chong just asked if we were free and wanted to go to llaollao and everyone could make it! yay! had llaollao and makisan and salty lemon water (hehe) then we went to sota to take photos!!! missed them a lot hehe am very thankful for triangles and am glad we still make each other so happy every time we meet :> 

went back to school and was gonna go home but pop suddenly suggested meeting so we did??? like whoever was free hahahaha impromptu much HAHA so trained to hv with jon hahaha mini meeting but yay :> then we went to daily scoop and took turns to eat so that we could sit there longer HAHA. (btw daily scoop has earl grey that is not bad) bumped into shao at hv and like a million other people. then we went back and i decided to go see my batchmates for a while so went to j8 and then i bumped into hannah leow HAHAAHHA SECRET LOVER ADVENTURES. :))))))

all in all a very good day because i met most people i love :) today was okay too because less human interaction and a bit of work done. took forever to do one physics remedial worksheet but at least i did something! 

love plants hate animals

the week so far 

// 

check out the second picture!!!! that's my phone for now hehehee i like it because no one has it??? got this idea from some lifehacks website initially wanted to press the daisy-ish flowers but they gave off pollen when pressed so i just got these baby-breathish things. think they work fine too. hehehe. except that the colours are not as vibrant anymore and the purple in the photo is like some brown/white now. also we tried park on sunday it was so good??? best eggs royale i've tried so far and the sides are good too!!! not a measly salad but potatoes, cherry tomatoes, bacon, sauteed mushrooms too!! the truffle mac and cheese was not bad but it got me gelat(??) after a while so i wouldn't order it alone. 

today was a good day despite waking up at 6am. tennis ms in the morning was quite intense because we only won by a margin and it was so so close. good job to the tennis players for fighting till the end even though they were (initially) losing and tired!! 

impromptu lunch plans today because we were both kinda free so we decided to go to wherever the train took us to and got out at farrer road to go to the missing pan. crazy us decided to walk from farrer mrt all the way to the missing pan HAHA. we were happily walking when it started to rain at coro so we got kinda stuck. took shelter under the bus stop before running into ntuc to find ponchos but unfortunately they didn't sell. managed to borrow umbrellas from the ntuc aunties hehehe thank God for nice people :) so yes we went to the missing pan!!!! no more smoked salmon though so we shared a pulled pork burger. and we realised we didn't even have enough money i literally had $0 in my wallet oh well. but anyway it was good the missing pan is a nicey place with nice food!!!! still wanna try the eggs royale though. it looks so unique it has 2 chunks of smoked salmon instead of the usual thin slice!!! 

anyway instead of taking bus back i decided to walk back to botanics and jon walked with me and then bam another spontaneous decision to explore botanics and find the nice mossy place. ended up walking all around botanics not knowing where we were going but we found some nice places :) didn't take enough photos but i guess it was more important to enjoy the moment than rush to create memories. after all the best memories are those not recorded but vividly remembered. also the fisheye lens kept fogging up because it was so so humid. oh and did i mention we walked into a few cobwebs. ew. 

thank God for a friend like jon so blessed to have him in my life :))))))))))))) also i love spontaneous days they are so exciting. overall today is a good day spent well with good company :) though it was horribly unproductive in terms of work piano and exercise the three major commitments in my life now. i promise i will go for a run tomorrow. slap me if i don't.
