Jubilant June

A JUBILANT JUNE everybody!!
I wish my life is exciting... My mid-semester tests were over last week, felt like a huge burden have been lifted off my shoulders when the clock ticks at 10.20am on 5 June.
Now, I hope that I will be accepted in the internship company that I selected.. Oh well, that can worry in the future because no point worrying when I cannot do anything about it.
Last holiday, I didn't have any assignment to complete. Maybe because it's the semester break & it's longer.
This term break is 3 weeks long... Not sure if I can squeeze some time for my school projects since I'm working for 2 weeks,
Heck, I don't think I can even rest. There's *counting* *doing some fingers calculating actions* 4 projects to be completed.
*Laughing bitterly*
Just hope that I have the discipline to start them. I always get too tired when I reach home from work and from my CCA FOC... Then I'll push it back to the next day. & repeat.

Enough about my ramblings.

On the last day of paper, my group of friends and I went to town to have lunch.
It became like a routine that we'll eat at some restaurant after our last test/exam, even though I wanted to do something fun eating of eating..
But eating is fine too! Hehehhee!
Coincidentally, Mingmin & I both wore similar clothing.. Not sure if telepathy is there or just purely coincidence.

That nonsense girl
Like kena force to take picture with me 
When I was browsing the photos, I took a closer look & noticed something...
WHERE THE HELL IS MY LEFT LEG?!?!?!?!?
Then I realise I stood in a way my left leg is at the back; my dress covered it.
Gosh it look so weird.
& then there's this drop of water that is conveniently targeted at a wrong place.

The 5 of us ate at Café Mondo - they sell light bites, mains, pastries and puffs, desserts.
Unfortunately, they did have the dish that I wanted.. I wanted to have the Reuben Sandwich, so I switched to Foccacia Beef Mondo, & they didn't have it as well. 
They didn't have the bread for it. 
Mondo what are you doing, Mondo?
So in the end I ordered:

Waffle burger
The waffle taste normal, when you cut it breaks easily to smaller pieces.
The beef is so hard, I needed a chainsaw to cut it.
The fries, doesn't taste nice. I mean, just look at it.

What Mingmin ordered
Karise' Shepherd's Pie
Aishah ordered meatballs
Prawns for Marz

It was a hearty meal, chit-chatting with the girls.
Maria had to leave early to catch her flight, so she missed the 12 different scoops of ice cream :P.
Yup you read that right, 12 DIFFERENT SCOOPS OF ICE CREAM, WE HAD THAT.
We shared lah, duh, & it's mini scoop hahahaha.

Picture credits to Karise!
After half-way eating, we:
1. felt sick. Ate too much ice cream. Got bloated. 
2. couldn't properly taste the next flavour because the previous flavour which we had was too over-powering and thick. 
3. thought we ordered medicine as one of the flavours.
4. tried to guess which ice cream was which flavours. We got confused with Vintage Strawberry Cheese & Raspberry (?) something.

Food: 2.5/5 sandwiches
Ambience: So-so
Going back again?: No

A group picture before Maria left.


Both Aishah & Marz left because they had plans so Mingmin, Karise & I walked around Somerset before it's my turn to leave.
I went home to pack my stuff and headed over to Eve's house!!
Staying over at her crib for one night ^-^


♦♣♥♠ ♦♣♥♠ ♦♣♥♠ ♦♣♥♠ ♦♣♥♠ 

I didn't take a lot of photos because we were out the 1st night.
We went to The Alley Bar. I had Cranberry Vodka which Marz recommended, & it taste good!
Eve had beer & we ordered truffle fries.
I don't know what's the craze about truffle fries; aren't they like normal fries?
So I Googled it & it turns out truffle fries are made of truffle oil.
It taste slightly better than normal fries but I wouldn't pay so much for french fries anytime in future.

Both Eve & I had a heart-to-heart talk in the bar. Like she tells me whatever was in her heart & I give advice & my opinions.
Acting like adults *sips tea*.
But the ambience is definitely great, will visit again!
The bar manager even introduced himself to us! Such friendly person!
When we are leaving, we say goodbye to him & he was really nice to tell us to have a good night.
What an excellent customer service!

Drinks: Can't rate because I only had 1 drink. But that drink was refreshing
Ambience: Perfect for a girls night out
Going back: Definitely!

When we reached home.. we just chill in the hall & connected her com to the TV so we can surf in big HD screen.
There's the on-screen keyboard & her wireless mouse, which makes things so much convenient.
However, technology REALLY DOES produce lazy people.

I look creepy here because my contact lenses are out & the angle I took is at an awkward angle..

I decided to take my revenge on her because on one of the sleepovers she hit me with a bolster before I wake up. & posted up on her Instagram .

But she was sleeping so soundly & we slept late last night.. So I didn't have the heart to go maximum asshole so I just tickled her butt with my toes.
Dinner cooked by Daddy & Mommy Ong! So yummy!!


Didn't have the chance to tell the parents I love the dishes!
The best part is the soup TASTE SO SIMILAR TO MY FAVOURITE SOUP COOKED BY MY AHPO!!!
I could have another bowl but because the other dishes were too delicious that I was too full for another bowl..
The salmon was deep-fried, the fried fish was cooked with a sauce I don't know but it's yummy!
The chicken stew with potatoes and carrots was tasty too omgosh.
I'm not joking or boot-licking but it's really taste good!

Home-cooked food is the best :).

Initially, we planned to go Jurong.. but we dilly-dally then watch drama until we just silently agreed to stay at home.

Pretty lights~

I wanted to post a picture of her but then I thought about her image so I decided to delete it :P.
BEST FRIEND AWARD GOES TO ME THANK YOU.
(But I thought if I POSTED IT UP then I'll get the BF award...?)
I stayed until 10pm before heading home. So lazy to go home... But it was a great 2 days spent!!!
Thank you Ong's mum for always buying me breakfast, lunch and dinner!
Thank you Ong for always bringing me to your family outings! 
Thank you Ong & mum for the hospitality hehehehe.

Looking forward to the next vacation woohoo!

Legal stuff for legal age.

Hi from 3 of us.
Good morning everyone! Did you had a good night sleep?
For me, I don't. My stomach was grumbling throughout the night; not because I'm hungry but because (I think) it's digesting food?
And I didn't went into deep sleep, sorta like half-dreaming half-awake kinda sleep.
AND I HATE THOSE KINDS OF NIGHTS.
So anyway, Eve, Cong & I went out to relax during the holidays.
Initially it was a girls night out, but Jas & Serene didn't make it. We turned to the gang, most of them cannot make it too, only Cong. But that does not deter us from cancelling the event! :D
We went out to drink! :D
Yup, we want to go to a bar or lounge to chill & drink, because we have reached 18!
The 3 of us went to pierce our ear first, but I didn't pierce because the shops in CWP does not offer piercing of forward helix. :( Oh well, guess I'll have to go Bugis. x)
We had the whole day to ourselves, we met at 5pm and took a train to Dhoby Ghaut because Eve wanted to eat at Strictly Pancakes,
As predicted, there were people queuing up & there's a sign that reads 'FULL HOUSE'. Damn.
So we ate & drink in the bar/restaurant next door. :D
I have no idea what is the name of the bar because I didn't take note of it. :x
I ordered a salmon pasta, Eve ordered baked potato pasta, Cong ordered some kind of Aglio Olio?
It was tasty!!!!!!
The 3 of us got a bottle of white wine too because there's a promotion xP
But 1 bottle can have about 5-6 cups so we went ahead to get it.
We chilled & chatted over the food & wine. The interior deco is really good too! Good food + good environment = ENJOY LIFE.
The wine left in the bottle is less than 1/10 of it, so Eve suggested doing one-shot.
We poured the wine into our wine glass, with the same volume.
This is the 1st time I'm doing one-shot man.
I felt hot inside me, like I'm sweating inside.
But it was fun. :B Here are the photos from the bar:


She look so sweet here, doesn't she?

After the meal, Cong & I were feeling a little bit dizzy. Of course, it's only a bottle of wine. If anyone got drunk because of less than 5 cups of wine, then it's something to laugh about.
We went to Clark Quay to enjoy the night scenery that is filled with bars and pubs with foreigners and babes.

Selca w Ong
We strolled around, trying to find a good bar to have another round of drinks, but we didn't manage to fidn one. And only yesterday then I know that there's Hooters in Singapore!
We chilled at The Connoisseur Concerto (TCC) and drink instead. Eve drank coffee while Cong & I drank beer.
It's blur, but it reminds me of something....
I look so funny here but I'm still putting up on my blog.

Selfie hehe


Oh in Clark Quay, TCC, we met an adorable & pretty friend! Check out Karisa!

This little cute creature.
It all started out when I became friendly with her, smiling & waving at her. She gave actions of shyness, it's normal lah xD
Eve noticed & started to play along. She decided to label us as 'friendly, nice, pretty, kind strangers-friends' so she took a step & played with us. More like entertaining us.
Her mother was chilling with her friends beside our table, she doesn't seem to are though.
She took a TCC book-menu and pretend it was a storybook.
She kept hiding behind the pillar, and coming back with a new story. There was Dinosaurs & Princesses.
Eve asked if Cinderella is her favourite princess, she answered her & Repunzel.
Awwwww sweetness overload!!!
She kept saying 'BYEBYE' then go around the pillar, coming back and say 'HI!!!'. Really playful. xD
She even played Teacher-students with Eve & I being her students. For Cong, she did entertain him but only for a short while. xP
Being in a Mentoring Club, Eve & I played along!! But Eve is a better student than I am because Karisa keep marking me wrong :(
Then I ask Cong to lend me his note for her to draw stuff on. She's not shy anymore! That's fast.

We took these three by pretending to take selfies 




Real cutiepie you are, Karisa. She opened her mouth when she took a picture with me, but I didn't know. So I tell her to take another photo but with the same post. Oh darling.
It was a night to remember! Thank you Karisa for making our night! I doubt we will see you soon but, who knows! We might bumped into each other one day hahahaha!
Goodbye!
