A surprise I'll never forget!

Hey there bunnies! If you follow me on instagram or snapchat, you must have known that my friends planned a surprise for me to celebrate my belated birthday!! Also, the thing is I totally had no idea because some of my girls came to find me on my birthday in school so I thought that was already counted as a birthday celebration. Cuiwen Pearlie and Kahying actually waited for me to end lesson on Thursday. I was supposed to end at 5pm but had to stay on later to pitch to clients for our social media marketing module. It only ended at around 6:30pm? And they waited for me aww<3 There wasn't much time to do much so we just ate llao llao and talked and also just played with cuiwen's mac photo booth HAHA. I was super thankful that they took out the time to come down and spend my somewhat birthday with me(:

So yes I thought that was it, that was the celebration. But no. They had some secret whatsapp group and whatever and planned the surprise. I didn't suspect anything because it was Jazreel who asked me out on Saturday saying that she wants to celebrate my birthday with me as she couldn't make it on Thursday. So I thought, okay! Since I was free and wanted to see her again we decided to meet at Orchard around 2pm? When I finally met her I told her I had to meet a carousell buyer at around 3pm so we kind of had some time and decided to just go to ION Sky while waiting for my buyer to reach. Like what anyone would do at ION Sky, we took pictures hahaah.

When my buyer finally came, I sold the item and so we decided to walk around ION. Then suddenly, Jazreel said she wanted to go to Victoria Secret to see something... So I kinda went looking at the perfumes and stuff and testing them out. AND OUT OF NOWHERE, Cuiwen, Kahying, Pearlie and Minyi came out and started singing Happy Birthday SUPER loudly right infront of Victoria Secret and there were so many people I was like... :O!! But I was also super touched because all of them were here like awwwwwwww. Its been so long since all 6 of us were together so yes, I was really touched and was really thankful. They gave me balloons and then we went to eat! We went to eat NeNe Chicken!! Super yummy hehe. They also got me a cake!! Banana chocolate cake from awfully chocolate because they knew I really wanted to try it since sec3 HAHAH. After eating we went around orchard to walk around and shop! Well girls being girls we went clothes shopping!!! YAY its been too long<3 Soon enough, it became 7pm and most of us had to leave;'( Although it wasn't a really long day together, I am indeed really thankful and really blessed to have such great friends. Never would have I thought we'd become so close and so dependant on one another. Just enjoying each other's company, laughing so loud and so hard we could actually develop abs. Even just bursting out into a song out of nowhere not caring about what anyone else thinks about us. Being a total public nuisance together. I do feel that I feel the most comfortable with them and we bring out the best in one another<3

Okay, this post is getting a little too long so I'm just going to end it here and with this quote "A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out" -Walter Winchell Thank you girls for an unforgettable 17th celebration.

Much Love,

Never liked changes...

Hey there bunnies!! I'm back with another post after a super long time and I'm sorry!! Thought I should at least have a update about my 'not so interesting' life haha. So school is starting tomorrow and I don't actually know how to feel about it... After being on holiday for around 5 months, school sounds almost scary. Especially with me going to poly. Poly is indeed really different from secondary school so I'm actually quite worried about how I'm going to fit in, how I'm going to cope, basically how I'm going to survive being out of my comfort zone and away from my girls. I've never been a huge fan of changes. I dislike having to change how I'm living my life and if I'm comfortable I'd really hate for anything to change. Even the slightest thing like changing my phone wallpaper takes me forever. I really have to find something I feel comfortable with before actually changing so usually, I stick to one for a pretty long time. Same goes with my friends, if I'm comfortable with you, I wouldn't need anyone else. I'll just stick to you. I miss being with my girls every single day, hanging out with each other, enjoying each other's company and just being super comfortable with each other. Now, all of us are away from each other. Some went off to tackle Alevels while some took the same route as me, poly. Sadly, none of us are in the same course although we're in the same campus.

Pretty sure when school starts, I'll just miss my girls even more due to obvious reasons :'(. Change is a really scary thing to me. Be it changes in people or just my life, it scares me. It scares me to be able to know someone so well and yet in a split second I can completely not know them any more just because he/she has changed. It just sucks when you can know someone so well and be so attached to them but they just suddenly walk out of your life. I'm sure all of you have experienced such a situation and yes, it sucks but I guess all we can do is suck it up and accept that its life.

Also, I find it difficult to be close to people easily. I may be talkative and whatnot but I still find it very difficult to click with people. Sometimes even girls scare me haha. Going to a whole new school and entering a course and class with people I'm not already close or comfortable with also scares the crap out of me. At the same time, if I don't try to click with people, I'll just be a freaking loner hahaha. So yes, I'm currently trying really hard to make friends, click with people and just make the best out of what I've got. I still remember when I graduated from primary school I felt like my world collapsed. All my close friends went to different secondary schools and I felt like I just didn't fit into my new class. I even cried every night wishing it was all a dream and that I'm still in primary school with my close friends. Now, when I look back, I shouldn't have felt that way because I was just having pity on myself and wasn't living in the moment, appreciating what I already had. It gets better over time, that I'm sure of. It took me quite a long time to get over the fact that I'm really in secondary school and crying doesn't help anything. Only then did I start to actually look around me and make the best friends I could ever ask for.  It was just sad that I took so long to actually realise that.

Well, I guess I've grown from that and trying to make the best out of my next chapter of life. Hopefully 1A/02 will be one of the best classes I've ever been in and I'll have friendships that'll last forever. Cheers to whoever who's also starting school tomorrow and if you're scared, don't worry dear! You can't be more afraid than me HAHA. Also, everything will be fine, promise(;

Till next time!<3

Day full of laugher and sweat(?)..

Hey there bunnies! First post of April!! This is just going to be a blog post of my day today! 6th April'15.

Firstly, I made Cui Wen accompany me to collect my phone after service hahaha (cracked screen remember?) Met her around 11:30-ish and went all the way to Wheelock to collect my phone FINALLY. Also, because Pearlie, Cui Wen and I have been talking about going cafe hopping for quite sometime, we decided to finally put our words into actions. Plus, Cui Wen finally got her debit card hahaha. The day before, we planned to go to Holland Village's Hatched for lunch then walk around to find a good dessert place. So, after collecting my phone, Cui Wen and I went on to Holland Village to meet Pearlie.

When we all met at Holland Village, it started raining.. Which did not make finding Hatched any easier. We searched and searched for the cafe/restaurant. We took FOREVER. I swear we walked almost the whole of Holland Village but still couldn't find Hatched. I bet we walked those alleys at least 5 times back and forth. Halfway through, we decided to just go into the pet shop to enjoy the aircon and also, look at all the cute little doggies!! I swear I made a connection with the bulldog there man. HAHA. When I was taking a selfie with him he was so far away at the corner then after one picture, he walked over and sit right beside me awww. So cute I almost died.

When we finally decided to just ask someone in the area where Hatched was(we asked this sales girl in The Body Shop), she told us it was just two shops down... We walked there and was just facing the shop's shutters. Literally. The cafe was closed.... We have been actually walking past that exact shop god knows how many times. The 3 of us were like what on earth, how can we be so blind. When we checked the store's website, it stated "Closed on Mondays" Dammit. That means we went around looking high and low for a cafe that was CLOSED. HA. HA. HA. The super blind and idiot 3 girls hahahaha.

By then, we were already starving and just wanted a place to eat so we went to D'good Cafe. I'll have to say the interior was super pretty and they have like little swings and stuff but be ready to spend as the food and drinks there aren't exactly what I call student friendly. Cui Wen and I decided to have poached eggs with portobello mushrooms and Pearlie got a pasta. Cui Wen added a soup while Pearlie and I settled with drinks, mine was green tea latte and hers was green tea cream frappe. Yes, we kinda have an obession with anything green tea. The food there isn't too bad? But I've had better and the portions are kind of small.. Well at least for Cui Wen and I. Pearlie's pasta was of a decent size hahaha. So, Cui Wen and I weren't exactly satisfied with our meal. However, I really loved the green tea latte hehe. So I guess the drinks there are more worth it than their meals? I'll most probably be back for their drinks.

We only left at around 4pm and decided to just go to one of the dessert cafes that we searched the night before, Department Of Caffeine. The 3 of us took the train to the nearest station and walked to the cafe. Once again, we took quite a while to actually reach the cafe. I really think we're super blind. We actually walked passed it... AGAIN. In the end we just decided to call the cafe and asked for directions and as we were walking there we were like "weren't we here just now?" YES WE WERE. Super non observant people we are. The cafe was quite crowded when we arrived and the people there were quite friendly! Also, we took ages to decide what to order. In the end we just chose 2 waffles with ice cream. One rum soaked banana chocolate waffle with vanilla ice cream and one butter scotch ice cream with strawberries and butter milk waffle. (Can't exactly remember the full name so yeah haha.) The waffles arrived and smelled like heaven. They were soft and fluffy and just really good. Pearlie really liked the banana one while Cui Wen and I preferred the strawberry one which in our opinion was sweeter haha. The waffles were also super filling. Would return for moreeeeee! We really had a great time at that cafe just laughing and chatting like retards.

HAHA. That guy in the middle though.

When we finally left, we went back to this area we stumbled upon while looking for the cafe which was quite a pretty little place for pictures and guess what we did? Photo shoot time! HAHAHAHAH. Horrible but yes we did take quite a few pictures. As it was getting late we decided to leave and go to Cui Wen's house to colour HAHAHA. Don't judge, its a long story hahaha. I've always wanted to learn how to play the piano so I kinda got Cui Wen and Pearlie to teach me. I've like totally zero musical background besides having to play the recorder in primary school. Which obviously does not count. It was actually fun learning how to play the piano? Was kinda proud of myself when I mastered (self assume mastered) one whole line of this grade 1 song HAHA. I tried really hard okay! I also took it very seriously haha. I really wanna learn how to play the piano:( Totally gonna get Cui Wen to be my teacher hahaha. I was also actually surprised what I learned in primary school music lessons actually helped me today hahahahaah. The note reading part at least. Which means, I actually did listen okay haha.

We had dinner and finally started colouring together(: Pearlie and I only left at around 10pm? So yes, it was a whole day of weird activities hahaha but it was a lot of fun and I'm sure the girls and I enjoyed today!((: We took too many pictures so I didn't add any filters hahaha plus its already 2:48AM. So deal with no filter pictures hahaha. That's all for today!

Much love,
Rach xoxo
