My 19th Birthday

As per the title, I'm going to update about what happened on my 19th Birthday. I was too lazy to update my blog for the past few days, so I dragged till now, after completing all my shows and the storybook I had bought from the secondhand bookstore from The Central.

So firstly, I met up with Chewyan at Bugis first. She wanted to get me some clothes as my birthday present, but there weren't anything especially nice. After walking around Bugis Junction and Bugis Street, we were both hungry and settled down at TCC. The waiting time for the food and drinks were super long. I think it took about 30mins for them to serve up everything we had ordered.

After eating this amount of food and the drinks, we were feeling super full. The "full" feeling didn't subside even after we reached the Italian restaurant at Liang Court for our dinner.



After eating the dinner, the cake was presented, along with a birthday song. I was surprised as I didn't know there was a cake and I didn't expect it either.

As usual, I was asked to remove one of the candles from the cake using my mouth. When I was doing it the first time, Junxing tried to push my head against the cake. Hence, I became super wary of the guys after that.



We went to walked around Clarke Quay after dinner and sat down by the river until it's 11pm+ when we all headed home.
And that was how I spent my 19th Birthday.


I used the bottle of nail polish that ChienNie has given me on my nails. And this is how it looks like.

After using the shatter nail polish, this is how it looks like.

Hot pink and black goes well together~

This is the birthday card Chewyan has made for me. With the wishes of others written inside.
I'm bringing special attention to this 6 words. “祝您快高长大” I find this funny. It makes me feels like 9 years of age, not 19.

Hard time

YEAH IT'S MINE BIRTHDAY NOW!

But the purpose of this post is not to announce that..

On sunday, which was a few mins ago, I was working at the music school. For the entire day, there were only 3 lessons. Hefang's (Guitar instructor) lesson ended at 4pm, and after her lesson ended, she accompanied me and we chatted till about 8pm with food that I had bought from Heartland Mall.

I've always like to talk to her. By the way, she's 30+ years old this year, but I still feel comfortable talking to her.

She is the only child at home. Her mum gotten married at the age of 42 and gave birth to her at the age of 43. Her mum suffered from miscarriage twice before giving birth to her. Her parents are really old and she has got a grandmother to support. Her dad is physically fine now, but her mum and grandmother are not in good health conditions. Her grandmother is constantly going in and out of the hospital. And lastly, she is the sole breadwinner of her family and currently, the hearing ability of one of her ears is dropping due to some unknown disease/infection.

I just think that this is crazy. She's having such a heavy burden right now but still has to carry on with life. I know that I'm lucky enough to have 2 siblings, although they really piss me off at times.

I feel that people shouldn't give birth to only one child. (Except for situation like Hefang's mum since it was already dangerous for her to give birth to 1 child) The burden they are going to put on their child in the future is totally crazy, especially if they suffered from illnesses in their later years--which is most likely the case.

Something random:
Since Singapore is trying to promote the idea of its people giving birth to save herself from an aging population, it just came into my mind that maybe this marketing idea would work. If they love their children, they shouldn't give birth to one. I know that this is super random, but it somehow shows that I'm a real business student XD

I wonder if I'm able to take on this challenge of life if I were her...

Marina barage and Kite Flying !

Met up with Elaine and Sharmaine today !

I met up with Sharmaine first at Cityhall to shop around. I bought a pair of jeans and a top at bershka. Spent a total of close to $70 for both items. I like the jeans a lot. Nice colour and comfortable. We bought sushi and pizza to Marina Barrage after that.

When we were on our way to take the shuttle bus at the bus stop, we walked on a muddy path and my feet and shoes were stained with mud. It was so disgusting!

Sharmaine and I waited at Marina Barrage for Elaine as she went to IMH for interview, and signing contract with the agent after that.

IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I WENT TO MARINA BARRAGE. I know I'm suagu..

Sharmaine and Elaine trying to set up the kite.

After Sharmaine's dad came to join us, he attached the long tail to the kite and started performing stunts





Nice sunset view at Marina Barrage, so I took a picture together with Elaine.

My pizza!



I prefer flying kites at night. It's easier to look up into the sky when it isn't that bright. Moreover, attaching LED lights to the kite and string and put it up into the sky is really nice.

The kite I'm controlling and the led lights attached to the string. Isn't it nice? It caught the attentions of many passer-by.

This is the present Elaine and Sharmaine got for me for my birthday.


TAADAA. The bag is the present that both of my lovely friends have given me. Those are the jeans and top I bought from bershka. I like the bag that they had bought for me. The size of the bag is one of those that I wanted to get long time ago. Small but not too small. And it's black! Easiest to match with clothing.

Overall, I enjoyed my day with the both of them. First time going to Marina Barrage, first time going for kite flying. Hope that there's more kite flying session coming up =D

Once in a while

I went NEX on friday to get my phone fixed again. I hate that lousy phone. It's the second time I'm sending that phone for servicing again. That means that I have to go back to NEX some days later to retrieve the phone, and also to install all the applications into the phone again.

After sending the phone for fixing, I met up with Kaixin. We walked around NEX for a while before going to Cineleisure for movie. Although Kaixin lives in Serangoon, it was the first time she actually took a walk around NEX.

That clever girl got 6As for her A level. Congratulations to her!

We went Cineleisure to watch "This means war". It's a good show that I would recommend to others. Kaixin and I were laughing throughout the show as it is so funny.

We went to this Japanese restaurant at Orchard Central to have our dinner. The portion was really big and the food is nice. Will definitely go back again next time. After dinner, we went fruit paradise for dessert. I only reached home at about 10+pm.

After this meet-up, I think the next time we are meeting will be another half a year later? Or maybe next year, before she goes overseas for further studies.

Finally updating again

I'm finally updating again!! After a long long time.





This is considered a post exam gathering I think. We went Scape for Kbox and Jpot @ Vivocity on Tuesday, 28th Feb 2012. I had a fun time with those adorable classmates of mine.

TAADAA~ My table had the cheapest bill out of the 4 tables. We were so proud of ourselves. But anyway we have small appetites, except Wendy Chin.








On 1st of March, Friday, Meizhen and Christine organised a Japanese Class outing. This was the first outing we had. We had lunch at Aoba, Vivocity and we sat there and talked for a very long time. Sensei bought us stickies as gifts and he even paid for portion of our meals. The bill totaled up to about hundred over dollars, but he only wanted us to give him $5 each. However, in the end each of us gave him $10 as we were 不好意思 to make him pay so much for the meals. Besides that, he had already bought us a small gift.

After we had settled the bill, we took individual photos with Moriyama Sensei. In the midst of taking individual photos, an indian lady just stood among us and another indian guy was holding on to a camera, wanting to take picture. They didn't even approach us and make a request to take picture with us, so we were shocked by their behaviours and got ourselves out of the camera screen after realising their intentions. When they saw us scattering around, they started to do sign language, wanting us to gather and take a picture with them. In the end, we took a picture with them, but it was definitely awkward.

After the photo session, Sensei left to meet his friends and we proceeded to a hongkong dessert cafe and went home after that. We had been classmates for only 1 semester, but there were really nice people and I really enjoyed being in the same class as them. I have been in 4 different japanese classes and the people in the other 3 classes are very clique-ish. But these people are different and I hope that we will be in the same class again.
