Mean Girls 2014: Asian Edition

Good evening ladies & gentlemen, how's your day so far?
I finally have the time to blog, my holiday schedule is so pack!
So maybe I might be binge-blogging (if there even such things), I'm not sure.

You'll understand the title once you've read the whole post. ;)
On the 11th of March, I finally went out with my favourite girlfriends (goodness it's been 1 week since the outing) & they are Serene, Eve, & Jas! (a.k.a SEXYJ)
Ever since we went to our own ways after 'O' Levels, we seldom meet up. So whenever we have the chance to see each other, I also cherish the moments when we are together.
They are so precious to me.
Jas is currently in her internship, so it makes it extra harder for the 4 of us to be free on a certain date, holidays or not. But fortunately her work has a 4 hour break. We used that time period to have a simple lunch! We get to eat & laugh & catch up on one another.

Eve wanted to bring us to this restaurant because they serve the best Red Velvet cake, but we ate at ION Orchard for Jas' convenience! Doesn't matter where we eat lah, as long as we can sit down & talk that is what matters the most. :)
We ate at Watami, a Japanese casual restaurant (yay Japanese cuisine 1 of my favourite), good place & service was good.
So we starting talking & Serene started this 'game' where 1 person ask a question about each of us, and all of us has to reply that.
Something like 'name 1 bad & good point about us', keeps the convo flowing. Then again, topics will be jumped here & there so we can never stay on a subject for long. Unless it's like an important or major topic ah, or that is a hilarious topic.

Where to eat.. what to eat..
My lovely Jas

Because there's bound to be gossips between girls (er we're girls, duh), we named ourselves the Mean Girls (hence the title).
Serene is Regina George, Eve is Gretchen, Jas is Cady & I'm Karen (I'm the dumb blonde fag). Serene said she wanted to be the bitchiest bitch among the Mean Bitches so she got the Queen Bee(tch).
& I can't believe Serene & Jas have never watch Mean Girls!! It's like good chick flick!
We were talking about have a slumber party where we can watch that & White Chicks. Hopefully it will happen!!

We has some time left before Jas went back to her work, so we walked around calling each other by our new nick names. xD
Gosh I love them so much.
When it was time for her to go.. (NOOOOOOOO), we took some last pictures (say until like she's leaving the world choy choy choy)

No idea what happened
Yay!!
P.S. this was taken in the lift hahaha
Yes managed to block Serene
Love this picture 
This too
After Jas went for her work, it's left with Regina & Gretchen (OMGOSH I just realise it's the original Mean Girls).
We walked over to Cine because Gretch (Eve) wanted to get something.
That day was a day where we walked so much our feet got sore, so we 'borrowed' McDonald's premises and chilled there. There was a staff cleaning the ground, and obviously we're just using the chairs & not buying their food, Regina (Serene) kept speaking in a louder than usual voice to purposely let the staff hear, saying stuff like 'er what are ya'll getting? Should I get Double Cheeseburger or McSpicy???'
Just so the staff won't get the wrong idea of us just using their property (which we are).

Singapore is boring, unless you're filthy rich to spend money on good food & entertainment. Otherwise you're just wandering around town to pass time. & that's what we did.
Thankfully I got them, the laughter was the battery to keep me awake.
Until it was dinner time, we basically just entering various shops to look at the clothes.
Damn, Editor's Market apparels are so nice but the price made me put the clothes back on the rack..
As I have mentioned in the previous post, I have no time to commit to a part-time job.. :(
And because we don't want to spend so much on dinner, we ate at Graffiti Cafe. They claim that their Char Siew Mee is delicious so we decided to give it a try.
We were deciding if we should get dessert so share, so we got this 'Ah Boling', which is like 汤圆, but there's no filling inside. It's texture is like pearls; chewy.


We basically spent the whole day in Orchard/Somerset. We waited for Jas to knock off from work so we can go home together ^-^
Said to meet at the MRT station but this Gretchen led us to FEP, but we bumped into Jas at 7-11!
This shows that sometimes being blur can be a good thing.
I was so damn thirsty so I bought a drink & sat down with the girls to rest for a while before we hit the train.

Where's Jas??
She's coming out! A little bit more!
There she is!

Being with them makes me so carefree, like I can express myself in anyway when I'm with them.
I love you girls!! Thank God for bringing you girls into my life. ♥

Carpenters outing + gang outing

Wassup yo!
My my, it's the last week of my term break. School's starting next week.
Do I look forward to it or do I not?
Doesn't matter, enjoy first.

Yesterday I went for the Carpenters outing, which is my group during the BP Mentoring FOC.
We had lunch at Eighteen Chefs but only 9 of us turned up.. :(
The food there.. I would say I don't really like what I ordered.
I ordered cheese baked rice + creamy white base.
Guess it wasn't a very good combination because well, cheese is already creamy so it's like a double creamy combo.
I felt sick after eating it, but I would visit there again because of the affordable price!
They offer student price too haha.
There was a movie afterwards but because the movie they watching is too late for me so I didn't join them :(
I wish I could!!
Oh man.


Left from top: Audrey, Brenda, Nana, Yiling.
Right from top: Hafiz A.K.A ass violator, Nicholas, Ming Wei, Aishah.

We had a surprise birthday cake for Audrey, & the waiter was kind enough to help us store the cake in their fridge.
Moreover, another waitress (I think she is a chef) came out and offer us plates for the cakes!
She gave us disposable forks too!
Service is too nice already.
So when they left for the movie, Aishah & Ming Wei left first leaving me alone in 313.

Fast-forward, I met up w Serene & Jas!!!!
You don't know how elated I am when I finally saw them.
Soon Fian, Cong & Ryan came. We got the movie tickets to EPIC!


Some parts of the movie are really funny, it's very exciting I would say.
I would rate it 3.5 Greenmen out of 5.

After the movie ended we could totally relate to the outside world.
It was damn hilarious when we walked to Orchard Central.
Settling down for dinner was hard because many restaurants have long queues but we ate at Pastamania :)
We chatted and laughed, proceeded to *scape's Mac and chatted and laughed.
It was a stress-relieve when I hang out with them.
Our (my) lame jokes never fail to liven (damp) the atmosphere, and our non-stop teasing & inside jokes are so making my stomach burst.
We could have stayed longer but due to the haze (fuck the forest fire you assholes) we went home at 11pm++.

Non of our outings are dull. I love my clique. :)

Quick Update #4

Hey guys!!!
Whoa, my last post was like... on exactly 3 weeks ago!
Gosh, don't worry, I'm writing a short update today!
Many bits and pieces of things to write, just to summarise enough to call it an 'update'.
My Preliminary Examination are ongoing, and will only end this Friday. it's a tiring 10 days of exams :(
But I have to put in as much effort as I can in this school-based exam because my final boss is still 'O' levels.
I still have 4 more days left of exam, with POA, Amaths P2, Chemistry & Chem/Phys MCQ.
Today's Amaths was brain-cracking.
Ms Kok wasn't kidding when she said Amaths papers are a tough paper. (Heck, since when she's kidding).

It was a tiring 6 days of exams but I will pull it through!
It will be another 4 days of brain-cells-killer school day.
I need to put in 100% even though it's just school-based exams, because this will reflect on where I stand.
This Prelim 2 is definitely harder as compared to 'O' levels ah, 'cause the teachers want to prepare us for the big one.
So far I'm not suffering from any burn-out YET.
Y'know, maybe just


only.
I am super worried about my Mother Tongue paper.
Ever since I got my June 'O' level MT grade, it was like, disappointing ah.
I admit I didn't put in my best effort because the 1 week intensive revision really extinguishes my brain cells at a unbelievable rate that till now it have not re-cooperate what I've lost. (Yah lah I'm exaggerating but you know what I mean. Life's boring if there's no exaggeration ;))

Teachers and peers said that the year-end paper will be easier than the June paper, well, I HOPE SO.
PLEASE, 拜托, give me an A please Y.Y
Sigh, if like really can't get at least an A2, have to stick with that B.. This is life~

As I was saying, I really hope that the next 4 days will pass quickly.
One thing I hate about the exam period is that during the weekend, you HAVE to study because well, it's a free full-day and You gotta make the day out of it.
And then you decide to slack and check into Twitter, BAM! Tweets saying 'gonna study now! bye!' or 'study date with amaths!' or mugging/studying/revising related tweets.
And I will feel a liiiiiiiitle guilty inside me.
So I am very eager about this Friday!
Jas said that maybe after the last paper the gang could go play lanterns and burn some candles at night! :D
This Sunday is the Lantern Fesitval! ^-^
I really hope the plan turn out well!

Talking about the last paper, it is a 1-hour MCQ Paper. 1 HOUR.
That means students have to wake up early in the morning, attend the flag raising ceremony, and do their papers for 1 hour, and then go home.
Why couldn't they add the MCQ into the written papers?!?!
Haiyo, like that it's a win-win situation for both students & teachers mah: students don't have to come one extra day; teacher's don't have to mark addition papers.

Hmm, this Saturday there will be a new post! (Hopefully I won't come home at night).
I can't wait! xx
