GOSH IT'S SUPER HOT!!!
At least it's not humid if not I'll just sweat and die, it's windy but HAWT.

Anyway, I've kinda more or less settled into the hostel, of course with the help of XJ & Jolene if not I'll just die and die and die and never leave my room.
My mum's staying in the serviced apartments opposite so I feel a little better about leaving home.
I still feel rotten over leaving my friends and family back home ):

It's been hectic recently, with buying lots of stuff for the room, and now my room is nice and pink and neat!
The people in the hostel are pretty nice, made a few (2 actually) friends cause they're from Singapore so it's easy to communicate.
Melbourne is a whole new experience and I'm gonna take it slow and easy since I have 5 years.
Still sore about not being able to get a blackberry till I'm 18. PFFFT.

Till next time!

What's worst than being awoken when you're at your deepest point in sleep?

Being awoken by bad news.

Yea I woke up when my phone beeped while I was taking my nap
"esther, tmr pls report straight to office to see jasmine. She wants u to do analysis...tks. Christy"

WTF?!!?! CAN MY WORK LIFE GET ANY WORSE THAN GOING BACK TO THAT HELL HOLE OF AN OFFICE!?


(Add on)
Should I quit my job early?
I need more time to myself, rather than spending 9 hours standing and having to deal with nasty customers.
But Shima & Jody are already leaving on Sunday, and Roxy is planning to leave on wednesday cause it'll be my last day too.
I'm only an intern so I'm not sure if I'll be allowed to leave, and of course I'll be losing lots of money.
I appreciate it that my dad tries to support my decision by telling me he'll compensate me for the loss (wth?) but I'm sick of taking money  from my dad, and the fact that he has to deal with sending his only daughter and youngest child overseas knowing I'm not fully prepared is heart wrenching enough.

Yep!
I have to blog about my SUPER EXCITING AND INTERESTING DAY today! (note the sarcasm)

First, HELLO TRAFFIC JAM!
So my dad had to drop me at Yio Chu Kang station.
While going up the escalator, a train was arriving, in my head I said "gah I'm late, but since I'm not taking this arriving train, I'll just slowly take my own sweet time to let the escalator steps slowly elevate me"

And then when I went up, the train on the other platform arrived!!! and yipee "WOW! The train came the instant I reached upstairs! And there are seats somemore! WAIT A MINUTE..."

Then it finally hit me that I ALMOST took the wrong train and I JUST missed the freakin right train.
So thus my wait began.
Then I boarded the train and the announcement came "Next stop, Khatib Station"

SERIOUSLY MAN! FML FML FML FML FML!!! (I was going to orchard, so fyi the next stop is supposed to be ang mo kio)
I just wanted to start screaming "WTF I'M FKING LATE AND I STILL FKING TOOK THE FKING WRONG TRAIN" (Yea I'm damn crude during desperate times)
And after a few moments of gasping and standing there in shock, the familiar sight of the shitty amk HDB flats flashed  by.
THANK GOD LA SERIOUSLY, THE FREAKIN TRAIN ANNOUNCEMENT IS SCREWED UP.

When I reach Orchard MRT they were announcing "Bishan Interchange, alight here to transfer to the circle line"
So I rushed out of the station gates and then when I approached Accessorize my heart started pumping faster and faster,
I was like "WTF WHY ARE THE LIGHTS OFF DON'T TELL ME THERE'S SOME COMPANY FUNCTION SHIT AND THEY DIDN'T TELL ME"

THANK GOODNESS I SAW ANA, FAZ AND ROXY SITTING OUTSIDE THE DOORS.
Hahah Chloe who was supposed to open the doors was even later than me!
HOORAY! So i'm not really "late" afterall.

Yea and gosh, the job is so boring.
I fell asleep while standing there saying "HI WELCOME TO.. M..on..so..oon"
YES I FREAKKHELL FELL ASLEEP WHILE STANDING UP!
And I only woke up when my knee suddenly spased and I almost collapsed


Time crawled by and I totally rejoiced when it was 6.45, Soooo I MET ANDREA FOR DINNER! :D
Then we went to Thomson Plaza to do idk what and we went home. Yea anti-climax.


Backtrack..

I GOTTA BLOG ABOUT MY AMAZING DAY AT NICKY'S HOUSE ON SATURDAY!
I went to her house, and ate bits and pieces here and there, then watched her and thongs bling their stuff while I eventually fell asleep.
Fiona came and I just rolled around her bed while they did random stuff.
We created a whole SIMS family of us! :D
Thong's and Janna's one seriously looks like them!
Finally Janna came and we went for dinner at Ministry of Steak which is a complete rip off of Astons and I'm still wondering if they gave me steak or beef jerky. It's like what the..eating cardboard.

And Janna bought me a pair of Elmo sunglasses which I love so much! Thanks a million and one JuJu! :D

We started going crazy with light sticks and attempting to shoot parodies of 2PM's Heartbeat which was not very successful.
Too bad I had to leave early ):

Hope my parents will let me stay over at Nic's on friday! D:
(fingers crossed!)
 
 
I'm feeling: tired

I had a bad day. First I was late, 6 minutes late to be exact.
Okay fine, not that bad, forget about it.

Then I got in trouble. I know, I was unethical, I was careless, I was foolish. I'm guilty, I'm sorry, and I'm full of remorse.
If I could perform the impossible task of turning back the clock I wouln't let my heart control my head.
I know, 'it's not a big deal, really', I'm just taking it more seriously than it actually is'
But the cowardly inner self hidden right inside me is triggering a turmoil within me.
I thought working would make me more mature, to let me grow mentally and intellectually, but day by day I start realising how much I'm shrinking, and the undaunted facade is slowly revealing my spineless true self.
I fear the top of the pyramid, I shudder at the thought of the uncertainties.

And to make things worst, the caramel macchiato latte didn't help, and neither did my dad's tyres going flat make my day any better.
But I'll take it as a blessing in disguise, cause tears of despair turned to tears of joy.
Fiona, Thongs & Shu Xiang really made my day, and I can't wait for our L4D outing!

Reality check, I'm feeling extremely distressed now and apprehensive of tomorrow's uncertainties.

Smile please? ):

So life has been interestingly mundane for me (ironic much?)

Believe it or not, I'm stuck with a 9-7 job with less than a month before I leave!
Me, obviously not being a morning person, finds it such a terrible terrible chore waking up at 7 everyday! D:
Thank god my dad sends me to and fro work! (And thank goodness for the wonderful convenient pick up point @ ION where the concierge opens/closes the door for me hehehe cheap thrill cheap thrill)

I love my work, although it's bad for my feet, back, mental health (think nasty customers), and of course, MY COMPLEXION!!! (OHMYGAH THOSE DREADED RED LITTLE DEVILS).
At least, I have awesome colleagues and my brand new pair of birks to make up for it!

But reaaally, working at ION just makes me spend my pay before I get it.
The '70%'s at accessorize & staff discounts are just toooo tempting, the huge Sephora that I pass by everyday when I'm walking to the drop off point looks way too inviting for comfort.
So much so I spent $65 on:

ahhh! Benefit's "Hello Flawless".
It's like MSG to the face!
It's bad, but you just keep wanting more of this guilty pleasure cause it's just so darn good.

OH! And hopefull on feb 8 (the day I arrive in Aussie land), this not-so-little baby will be MINEEE :D
 

Since I'm awfully tired and too caught up with work I'm gonna update on my diminishing social life and past social events reaaaally reaaallly soon (don't trust me on that)

GOODABYE!!~
 
 
I'm feeling: sleepy

Today me and XJ spent 40+ on pajamas, since we can't be walking round the hostel in ducky pajamas rightttt?
Yea and it was time for her amazing transformation into a woman!
Finally made her buy some proper blouses and dresses.
And a pretty pair of flats and a jumper since it'll be nearing autumn when we get there.

And yes I LOVEEE my New Look blue blouse and jumper! Though the blouse was 3 sizes too big, but it was a steal!
Anyway, can't wait to see her in aussie!!! :D

Oh yes, I LOVED THE BIRTHDAY PRESENT XJ GAVE ME!
She's the third person and first friend to give me a birthday present this year! (I know my life sucks yea shut up)

Just think, a whole packet of artificial nails (I personally like to call it nail masks cause it sounds nicer) + nail glue & nail glue remover (HAHA very thoughful thanks!) + nail bling bling! 
IT IS SOOO ME! (bimbotic much, but pretty nails make me happy)

I LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT THANKS THANKS THANKS x386836387948693879496  !!!

P.S. FREDDIE'S BURGER CHANGED THEIR YUMMY CURLY FRIES TO POTATO WEDGES WHICH TASTE FINE BUT I HATE IT CAUSE THEY'RE STRAIGHT AND FAT!

Omg I'm so super bored now!
This idleness is taking its toll on me!
Even my favourite k-drama that I tried so hard to resist watching the whole school year is totally....GELAT.
URGH.
And FB isn't helping much cause my facebook is practically stagnant.

Gotta make a trip down to Ascension + SN before I leave.
Plus, gotta arrange a date with Priscilla, and the Gangreen Gang.
And I can't wait till my cousin stops ignoring me (ahem) and arranges a baking day when I can go check out her new house and the beach!

Oh btw, check out my title ^

I've decided to change the 'S' to an 'X' in tribute to my chinese name (:

This




And this



arrived in the mail yesterday!
OH GLEEEE!
But poor ):
I know I'm going crazy piling up on a whole stash of cosmetics that I don't even use, but!
AHHH seeing all these pretty stuffs and their attractive packaging makes me happy!

I'm a crazy fan girl of Etude House cosmetics though they hardly ever see the light of day on my face, but...
IT'S SO PINK!



My current ever growing collection HAH HAH.
But when I go to Australia there won't be any more of this crap for me to collect D:
I know the O2 white mask looks totally out of place there, but I'M DAMN BLACK AND I NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

Check this out yo, SKIN FOOD Banana Yogurt Mask.
It's got to be the most amazing inexpensive mask!
It really makes your skin smooth and it smells sooo good.
This is kinda weird/gross but I feel like licking my face when I apply it.


And, everyone should use this!


Derma-Rx Comedone Formula

It's FREAKIN expensive for a smelly-oily-25ml solution, but it works like magic!
I only used it for a few days and it tightened my pores and cleared up some of my pimples (blargh D;)
It's prescribed by my dermatologist for both me and my brother and we love it!
Though he's a lazy loser who has given up using it after seeing a bit of results.

Anyway,
I HAVE A SUDDEN URGE TO PAINT MY NAILS NEON PINK!
Nowww...if only I had neon pink nail polish.
 

SO CUTE!!!

I made many nice new friends on Tuesday & Wednesday (:
They are an awesome bunch and despite knowing them for only mere hours, they've provided me with joy and laughter I haven't felt in a long time.
Though they're a totally different genre of people, sharing little common interest, this venture out of the comfort zone of my social circle proved to be an experience with unexpected outcomes that I'll never regret and always cherish.

Have a blessed Christmas!

ARGH SNAP OUT OF IT.
It's not as if I don't write them and I'll magically stay here forever.

My biggest regret I'll ever carry even when I leave, is not holding on tight to the relationships I treasure, ie,


the ones I share with all my church friends.

It's 4:22am and I'm not even yawning.

SOMEONE BUY ME A DEVICE WHERE I CAN MANUALLY ADJUST MY BODY CLOCK PRETTY PLEASE?

Anyway, I'm gonna post about Seoul'd Out really really soon! (hah hah)
But super lazy to finish uploading the best 2 of the videos I took -.-
Seriously man, it takes me 20 hours to upload an 8+ min video, if someone knows how to make the file smaller/speed up uploading TELL ME!

AND I WANNA MARRY A KOREAN!
Life is so unfair.

And in an attempt to save the reputation of Singaporean guys (?), my guys friends all go
"But they're eyes are too small"
"But all korean guys are abusive!"
"They're too gay!"
"They can't speak english!"
ARSH, PUT A SOCK IN IT

Call me crazy, call me weird.
I think small eyes on pale skin and high nose bridges are darn attractive!
And the way they try so hard to speak english just makes me go gaga.
The way korean guys are unconsciously cute, and the way they pronounce 'E' when it's silent/ add irrelevant sounds everywhere
(page is 'pay-gee', 'cake' is 'cake-kee', 'would' is 'would-a', 'very' is 'berry' and 'you' is 'CHU~')

LOVE IT :D

SEE SEE! SMALL EYES, HIGH NOSE BRIDGE
CUTE!

I was exaggerating about the title btw.

Seriously man, korean guys are FREAKIN VAIN.
They stare and preen themselves in every freakin reflective surface -.-
And my parent's winter clothing are so TERRIBLE.
They look like poster girls/boys for WORLD POVERTY DAY.

And you know what?
Everyone who tried to ask me "where do you come from"
The first guess is always "THAILAND!?"
What the crap!? Thank goodness I bought 2 tubs of whitening mask.
Oh and I think it's pretty cool they allow eating on the train, and it's SO FREAKIN CLEAN.

Imagine if Singapore allowed it...it'll be like
Mother: AH BOY! DON'T RUN AROUND ALREADY, COME HERE AND EAT YOUR LUNCH LATE FOR TUITION/PIANO/VIOLIN/CHINESE/ART CLASS ALREADY!
Boy: Huh..chicken rice again ah
Mother: (Slurps laksa noisily) FASTER EAT AH, THEN AFTER THAT THROW THE PACKET UNDER THE SEAT SO YOU DON'T DIRTY THE FLOOR.
Boy: Orh..(rice splatters everywhere)

Ya whatever get on with it.

Tuesday
The usual stuff, went to myeongdong, shop, eat, and spent 200 bucks at etude house HAHAHA.
But if I had bought the same items in Singapore, it'll probably cost me over 500 -.- Rip offs.\

AND I'M IN LOVE WITH KOREAN BEEF SOUP WHOO! Good thing I bought back 3 packs of vacuum packed soup :D

Wednesday
Went to Sinchon and Dongdaemun, ya seriously my trip is all about shopping.
And the coffee in korea is SO GOOD.
Sipping a hot latte while freezing my butt off is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good.


Thursday (By this time the 3 of us - mum, dad, me got DARN sick of each other)
Little korean kids are so cute!
And the high school boys goodness -.-
After school they freakin scream across the street at each other and make a whole ruckus.
If kids were as kampong-like in Singapore I think I probably will stop sleeping beyond 2pm.
HAHA YA RIGHT IN MY DREAMS.

Friday
Went to Anguk to see the old villages (the older I get the more these bore me out)
My mum kept complaining about more high school hooligans shouting about and sitting at the village (hahaha) shop playing arcade games.

There's nothing inside, I was expecting at least some free kimchi heehee
SEE SEE! A REALLY COOL TRADITION LATRINE! let's look inside




Wah don't play play, high tech sia.
Saturday
OOOH exciting!
Went on a DMZ (demilitarised zone) tour.
The stupid tour guide was like "(blabbers on about compulsory NS) the boys who guard here are more clever, and smart and healthy. (guard comes round to check our passports) oh and taller too.
EXCEPT THIS ONE"
Poor boy...

Future train station for jouney to PYEONGYANG HAHA! (that's north korea by the way....)

Check out the dates hahah!
Went to see some lame stuff, went through a claustrophobic-attack-inducing tunnel dug by North Koreans for invasion purposes
After that we proceeded to watch some lame guards changing ceremony at a palace, and went to Myeongdong which was crazily crowded.
LEE MIN WOO WAS THERE AND I MISSED HIM DARNNNN IT ):<
I went to a CD shop and the shop keeper is seriously the korean equivalent of a cheekohpeh.

(Me innocently browsing through the CDs)
CKP (cheekohpeh): Your daughter is very pretty, how old is she? (HAH AS IF, He probably said that so I won't bargain with him)

Mum: How old do you think she is?

CKP: 17..18?

Me:...I'm 16

Ya and my mum obviously drove a freakin hard bargain haha IN HIS FACE.

(We were leaving the shop)

CKP: You're 16? Aww too young

WTH GO AND DIE SERIOUSLY, PAEDOPHILE

Sunday
Went to church, and it was in korean -.-
Totally didn't understand.
When I came out of the church hall some old man was like 'AIGOO AIGOO (mutters something I obviously did not understand) and handed me a hot cup of tea which was sweet, yet it smelled so much like turtle soup (YA I DRINK TURTLE SOUP SO WHAT. I LIKE IT AND I'M A SADISTIC FAN OF TURTLE EATING)
Anyway, what a nice man. Everyone was drinking that tea too, thoughtful of them to prepare this on a (freaking) cold rainy day.

Oh ya, dongdaemun has freakin good ginseng chicken soup seriously

Monday
Went to finally try jjajangmyun before we flew off.
I watched Itaewon Homicide Case, it's a really dark show, but it was mind boggling so I love it!
Plus I love Jang Geun Suk, so that's a plus point that he's in the show (:

I LOVE MY TRUCKLOAD OF COSMETICS (:


P.S. I really like this song!
U-Kiss just gets better and better (gosh I'm so in love with their amazing talented leader who speaks 7 languages) , though they're sounding more like 2PM

"prom today congrats!"
"It's not prom. We're not gay"

Cute, never knew guys don't call it prom.
Anyway I went shopping with Nicky today haha!
She brought me to try Freddie's Burger, and it's really good! I'm craving for it now.
Walked about 5 hours to practically EVERY shoe shop, and finally found a pair.
But I'm still hung up over the GUESS pair, though it's like 5 inch and yknow I can't really carry it off nicely without looking like a freakin gargantuan... giant... thing.

Anyway I got a really nice fluffy down jacket (think blue michelin man) for my trip.
I love it, it's so cute!
But the REALLY BIG hood is line with fur and when I have it on I look like some eskimo kid haha!

I rushed home desperately trying to reach home by 8 cause they were supposed to deliver my dress at that time.
And oh gosh, I took out my jacket and showed it off to my mum, then hugged it and fell asleep on the sofa.
When I woke up at 10+, the woman was still not here yet!
So me and my mum got damn pissed and she came 10 mins after, so finally saw my dress!

Okay it's not really completely what I had in mind, but I'll guess I'll just make do with it, although I don't feel proud of it enough to say I designed it myself.
But whatever man, like my mum says 'tailored dresses are really different, fits like a glove'.
So I'm just thankful I have a dress that I'm quite sure no one else will have, phew -.-


NEEDA BREAK INTO MY FREAKIN SHOES CAUSE THE STUPID SCHOOL WANTS US TO GATHER @4.30 AND REHEARSE.
OMG STOMPING AROUND ON HEELS FOR 6 HOURS IS GONNA KILL ME.
Better go wax my shoes too.

Today me and Fiona went ninja-ing!
What a fruitful day!
Oh and I loveeee Etude House.
If we manage to get tickets to korea I'm gonna go on a cosmetics spree man! HAHA
I bought moisturizer from there and I LOVE IT!
Plus they were giving free cotton pads and fluffy pens :D

Me and Fiona finally got our MAC concealer
it's freakin amazing I LOVE IT! one of the best buys ever!
And I went to New Look and finally got my boots yipee!
I totally love the "Bear look"
But my foot cramped many times today. Probably walked too much.

Fiona was taking bus 76 and I was supposed to meet her on the bus, but when the bus came I missed it!
So Fiona decided to drop at the next stop and I'll walk there, but she missed the stop.
So I decided to just walk to the next stop and we waited together haha.

Ooooh I absolutely love shoes and korean cosmetics I'm going crazy over them!
And shopping is really healthy, I think I exercised my legs a lot today.

Can't wait for Fiona to come over on thursday so we can start experimenting!

YAY!
Somehow I'm still not used to it, and I get sudden pangs of thought hitting me like "OMG MUST CHECK MY BAG FOR ENTRY PROOF"
and when I'm just lazing around doing nothing, I FEEL GUILTY!
Whathebear omg -.-
Then when I suddenly realise I have all the time in the world to do everything I want, I FEEL SO HAPPY HAHAHA!

And now I'm going for *** lessons!
Best thing is, my teacher is young and cute! But I think I'm still abit underage. OMG I'M CRAZY.
His korean accent is so freakin hilarious! And everytime I just can't control it and burst out laughing he'll keep asking me "Why you laugh!"
But the only thing is, I'm so darn embarrassed cause my dad decided to attend lessons with me, and he is so...blastering -.-
And I AM SO INFLEXIBLE AND LOSERISH OMG I HATE MYSELF I JUST KEEP MAKING A FOOL OF MYSELF ARGH.

And I'm gonna start korean lessons on wednesday! :D
Hope I learn well. Anyway, although it's the holidays, I feel so freakin nervous knowing I did badly for O's omg my future is ruined.

Anyway, I'm watching this drama "You're beautiful"
And darn, it is REALLY beautiful, and I'm talking about the guys not the girls.
Damn they're beautiful!
I just LOVE all the guys HURRRRRRRRRR.
Especially Lee Hong ki, who knew a dork could be so cute! I LOVE IT!
Blond bombshell


Who knew this cutie had any muscles




Oh man, and when he called himself a "rotten orange head" he is so freakin funny!
His exaggerated expressions are WHOO I just wanna die of cuteness, *ahh*
