Feeling quite good. Cleared up majority of my assignments before starting the brand new year, 2014.
I'm quite ahead of my "proposed" schedule.

Guess I'm sorta the person that'll clear my lab reports and assignments like 2 weeks before the deadline, or worse come to worse, a week before. Think I've developed the habit since my poly days, or have I only developed this habit when I started university? Hmm..

Currently, have already printed and packed 5 reports & ready to submit them!! When I first started year 2, I've constantly packed them neatly into files to act like I'm damn "professional" and serious about my work and all but now I can't really be bothered and I'll just staple and submit them. Hahahah doesn't mean I'm not serious about my work and all though...

Left wth 4 reports, 1 test, 1 presentation and 1 exam to clear before I can safely say I end my year 3 term 1.

C'monnnnn, can someone give me the strength to carry on this streak of "assignments'-doing" please? I'll be really grateful *inserts wide grin*

Okay hopefully my next entry won't be about school. BAIIIII~

Feeling really burnt.

Burnt.

So many assignments on hand, till I have to constantly be infront of my laptop, wasting countless of hours just to do my research and type out my lab reports and all.. Every single day.

I lead a mundane university life.

School > Home > Study > Work > School > Home > Study > Work > Home > Study


Crappy, but I keep telling myself temporary suffering will lead to permanent happiness.. Yes?

About a month to go before this year 3 term 1 ends, time to buck up and pull my socks sky high if I wanna get that first class honours.. Or at least a second upper class please, just a second upper class.

Yay Joyce, yay me~

Darn this mid season finale, can't wait for twd to be aired!!!

My friend got married!!!

HI.

So recently my friend got hitched last Saturday, on the 30th, and I was one of her 姐妹. It was really fun, considering it was my first time doing it!! All of us only slept for like an hour each before we woke up to shower, get changed and get ready for the gatecrash (where Elyn's husband, Dixon cheated!! He already got himself a key to Elyn's gate sooooo...)

And when Elyn was throwing her bouquet of flowers,

I caught them?!?!?!

Okayyyyyy so my friends started congratulating me & all, cos it means I'll get hitched next hahaha, that's if I can get a boyfriend first :P

My awesome friends, since my poly days :)

All of us Food Science peepoooos!!

May Dixon & Elyn have a blissful marriage together!!!

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

My first gel manicure

MY GOODNESS!!

I still cannot stop staring and envying my pretty nails hahaha. Had my nails done at The Nail Artelier and yes, it's my first ever gel manicure!! If y'all know me well, i'm quite a sucker for cuticle care and and nail polishes and I prolly have over 60 polishes now, not counting those I've thrown out cause I thought once it hardens, it's spoilt. (BLEHHHHHH :P)

Even though it costed quite a bit, I'm really happy to have it done!!
Really hoping it'll last me till a month later hahaha. Shan't do any heavy duty work then!!

Do ya like them as much as I do? :D

School BBQ x Trip to USS

15/11 (Friday)

Had a BBQ session for us School of Life Sciences peeps and I attended the event quite hesistantly (LOL) mainly cause I wouldn't know much people and I feel very uncomfortable with strangers.

This is us Biotechnology students!!

BBQ-ing food x my first plate of food x my classmates

Together with nurul on my left and sue on my right! Plus Usha's eye LOL

Mushroom kebab and meeeee hehehe.

The event went alright. Went to the BBQ after my classes and I made some new friends!! We played charades and it was really hilarious for some of the actions being performed. And I feel the answers made by us were actually funnier!!

Went home smelly a little like BBQ smell but it was all good :D

23/11 (Saturday)

Had a oned teambuilding deal yesterday and I found out we're actually going to USS!!! (Actually I knew it quite awhile back from an insider lollll). Was really thrilled because... Who would ever work a deal in USS?!?! It was quite out of the norm for my job since I normally will do teambuilding or parties in schools, parks, condos and private estates.

Chose to facilitate Team 4, whom they named themselves "Kungfu Panda" (what a great name to suit their USS amazing race game!!)

It was really fun tagging along with them, playing games and all. After their last station, they actually asked to take a photo with me!! I was really taken aback because not many corporate teams will do that, and I was the only person who took a group photo with my team hehehe.

HOW CUTE CAN THEY BE!!!

Afterwhich we knock off a little past 2pm and since we didn't have other deals to rush to, we stayed behind, got changed and went to USS!!!! WHOOP WHOOPPPP~

Melvyn, Guangming, myself, Wenhan & Yenteng!!

It was a really fun fun fun day for me!! Met momsy, papsy and bro for dinner at USS before heading home. Got so tired out cause I've been awake from 6:30am, I immediately went to bed at 11pm hahahah.

Have been playing so much, so much so I have been neglecting my assignments. Alright, I guess I have to get back to finishing them all. Really wish this is my final term so I can quickly get my degree and get the hell outta school heheheh.

Have a good day to y'all peeps!! Will be a birthday girlz in 3 more days hahaha. Time flies..

Xox,
Joyce

Momsy's birthday dinner

Celebrated dear momsy's birthday with awesome and tasty food at Nihon Mura!!

Went to some ulu outlet so there weren't much of a crowd there which was great cause noisy crowds = :(

I LOVE THE SALMON!!!!

A bowl of ramen which my bro, dad and momsy had.

Loving the lobster handroll, if I'm not wrong :P

POTATO SALADDDDDD!! But I chunked the shrimps aside.

Food glorious food!!

Must have cha soba everytime at a jap buffet!

SO MUCH BACON

Dear birthday momsy with her daughters, lovelove :)

LOVE YOU MOMSY BESTEST

Unwell

Feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Started with me having a lecture in this freezing lecture room few days back, and then my nose got clogged up and all. Suddenly I'm down with a really desert-dry + heaty throat, itchy eyes, sneezing nonstop, dry cough and all. It is really nasty. Drowning myself with loads of fluids and soft food and I have been urinating ALOT hahahah, I know it is very gross of me to mention it. Spamming strepsils and woods too, just to relieve my throat situation.

So glad I don't have lessons today but then again I'm heading out to work soon and hopefully I don't get angsty or anything. Shall continue my media article research when I get back from work.

Happy first of november y'all, it's gonna be a great month..

Because its my birthday month too!! X

Bad luck joyce // New school year

Hello,

So what's new...
Well I sprained my foot last week hahaha. Such a klutz. And how did I fell? I was walking down the escalator to catch the train at buona vista station to head to work and I don't know what happened, suddenly I FELL!!!!  

WHUTTTTTT.... 

I let out a little scream and it echoed throughout the station. During my fall, I heard a "CRACK" on the outermost side of my foot and my first thought was, "OH CRAPPPPP..."

Feeling so embarrassed, I quickly walked to the last cabin to avoid stares from the people who saw me fell. Grabbed a seat and I refused to look at my foot.. It felt numb and all. After recovering from my embarrassment & shock, I took a glance at my foot, swelling has occured. There was a protruding-like bone appearing at the side of my foot.

The 5 cardinal signs of inflammation;
Pain, heat, swelling, redness, loss of function

Yep.. Definitely an inflammation.

Stood up from my seat to alight the train and realized I couldn't even stand nor walk properly. The pain was bloody excruciating, oh my goodness... And yep, that was how I sprained my foot :(

Til now, my right foot went through 3 accidents already:
1)    The treadmill fell on the top of my foot when I was keeping it
2)    Sprained my ankle during work
3)    Fell on the escalator and injured my foot

The term break just zoomed past really quickly, a month plus of holidays.. Gone like that. Received my year 2 term 2 results, and it was kinda disappointing for me, hahaha. My highest module scored just a 60+!! What the heck.

Actually I didn't really have high expectations for my Y2T2 results to be better than my Y2T1 results but oh well. Although I know I've cleared my Y2T3 papers, I've got a gut feeling I'll just be getting average marks like my Y2T1 results. But hey, I really did put in effort for all my reports, essays and my final paper.

Heading out to school laterz, hoping it'll be a great start to the year 3!! Time to buck up and hopefully, just hopefully, I can pull my grades up (and socks) to get second upp class (or even better, a first class!!!). Counting down the days till my graduation!!

This can all be so simple.

"I don't ask for much."

 
When people ask me what I want, be it any aspect of my life, I'd gladly answer them with that.

I know people change, and their spots will always stay the same. Never thought you've taken it to a whole new level, by saying mean things to the people whom are were so dear to you.. Once upon a time, I feel. I promise myself to never let it affect me anymore, and once again you've reassured me that what I'm doing is a-okay, and that it is necessary. I don't know why you're always doing the "making up for teenage crime", what have you got to make up for? Nobody have shortchanged you in any aspect, at all.

Yeah.. I know it's all part of growing up. I hate this new generation. I hate how everything is always online, how their phones will always be rubbing in their faces, hiding their true selfs behind their "tech toys".



Living with  l i a r s

I am my knight in shining armour. 

Bridesmaid gown fitting

Went for the bridesmaid gown fitting yesterday!!

Our dear Elyn is gonna get married next month, and I'm really excited for her!! And of course this will be my first time I'm actually helping as a "Jie Mei".

 

We all agreed on wearing a dress which will be white so it will kinda be standardized, and this has got to be the most girliest dress I've ever worn!! Look at the ribbon detail on the dress I'm wearing hahaha. I'm actually using my left hand to hold the dress because it's too big for me and it'll fall if I don't hold onto it! Of course it's in the midst of alteration hehehe.

Really excited for her big day coming up really soon!! Can't wait :)

You don't deserve it.

Yeah, sure. Everybody know what karma is. I'm just not sure why isn't it happening on those who deserves it? Is there a "on" button switch, how do I get it to work?

I don't mean to be rude or anything but I hope you won't be happy. Simply because you don't deserve it. 

As time goes by, I learn to shut it all out. By letting it affect me will mean I've already lost half the battle.

What I've been up to.

Hi guys. I know I'm like a month late to mention this but....
My horrid year 2 term 3 is finally over!!! 
Actually I feel my year 2 term 2 was the most horrible term.. So far.

Anyway I'm kinda pissed off with the school cause my school coordinator had promised to just type my bloody email into the class mailing list after I complained to her once, due to not receiving any updates. Subsequently she apologized, and said she had put it in already. And then... Well well I did not receive any single thing and again I had to go complain the second time. Again she apologized and said she typed my email in already. Ok that aside...

I didn't receive my marks yet, after so freaking long. But all I know is that I've cleared my term 2 modules (the one I feel I did horrible for one of the paper). I should rejoice, yay? 

I used to only have like a week or two after each term's exams. And now I'm prepping for my final year of my degree course, I get like 2 months of holidays lolol. How can I NOT be happy about that!! And basically I've been enjoying every single bit of my term break and trying not to waste any "essence" of it. Some things I've been doing for a month now are...


1) WORK

Of course, where else would I get my income hahha. So for most of my days, it's either combat, bloop, amazing race, combat combat combat etc etc.

Combat deal I conducted at Mad Rush, Fort Siloso, Sentosa

We're on top of the merlion's head!!

I think I look cute holding my slurpee with a thumbs up sign together with the merlion at imbiah station hehehe. And it was my first time being up on the merlion's head as well!!


2) SHOWS
Also, I've been watching lots of shows during my off days or whenever I'm free.

YESSSSSSS, THIS IS THE OLD CHANNEL 8 DRAMA SERIES THAT CAME OUT IN THE 1997.

和平的代价！！

I remember watching it before when I was much younger.. Don't know why I've started watching it again. Prolly because I saw channel 8 doing its re-run on the weekends. Anyway loving this awesome 32 episodes drama, I have already finished it in like 2-3 days. Thank you to that user who uploaded it on YouTube!!! 

Watching ANTM 20 boys and girls, and also catching up on Family Guy Season 11!! I kinda stopped watching this because my online source of family guy went missing :( Now that I've found a new source... heheheheh.


3) GOING OUTSIDE

If ya'll know me, I'd rarely want to even go out. I go out to my neighbourhood park to jog, go out to work and go out for school. (YES LOSER, WEIRDO, WHATEVER)

But I've been out to shop with my mom, my unimate, and to celebrate my dad's birthday~

Check out my charsiew ramen, whoopwhoop

Buffet dinner at Vienna!!

Daddy's the king of the day with his boy and ladies

NOM NOM NOM NOM

Currently I'm yearning for a jog to burn them fats awayyyyyyyy. Right now I feel motivated to, who knows maybe after one hour I'll change my mind. Hahahaha.


Xox,
Joyce

Refresh

Drafted all my recent negative thoughts. I have to stop letting inane things wash over me just like that. Life is good. Life is great.

"We are gold."

Was a wonderful day, turned out to be disappointing as expected. 

I miss you so bad.

It's almost the tenth week since you passed. 

Every single day, without fail, I'll be thinking about you. Your little precious cutie face.. Our daily routine.. I miss them all so dearly. 

I still remember the day where I brought you out to work for the first time during my cslive days, and I was working morning shift. I let you run free in the cable car as well and we took the bus home together, holding and placing you on my lap. I feel complete. 

No matter how sick you were, all I wanted was for you to be well, safe and sound. Bought you toys, treats (your favorite was the mealworms :)) and I was constantly upgrading your space so you can run around more. What breaks my heart was when I got you a new huge tank with loads of new toys yet you used it for only a month and you were gone.. Hurts me so bad. But I know you didn't mean to..

I know it'll probably sound stupid for you all (if anyone is reading this) but Sniffles is my pet and I love him dearly. It's clearly stupid and super nonsensical that some people wonder why the hell would I put so much effort into a small thing. 

Guess its just one of those days where I miss you terribly because you were always right infront and there for me, accompanying me through the hardest periods of my life. I'm going through a very tough academic period now.. 

But I feel at ease knowing you'll forever be in my heart. And I love you very much baby Sniffles. That last night we had, I'll never forget.

Goodnight, my dear angel. Hope hamster heaven has been treating you well :) 

I miss you, and I have and will always love you :)

Busy bee

Oh dear..

Time seriously flies for this term?! I don't know why.. 1 more month to my examination. It feels like I just took my year 2 term 2 exams and now my year 2 term 3 exams are coming wth... K....


Feeling rather anxious because, this august is gonna be a bitch and rape me inside out upside down.
I still have 2 lab+quiz + 3 lab reports + 2 case studies (srsly difficult) + LOADS AND LOADS OF REVISION!!!

Omg how to cramp it all into JUST 1 FREAKING MONTH? Srsly impossible.. Every single day I cannot stop thinking about my assignments and all I wanna do it just to complete all of them and I JUST JUST JUST wanna focus on my revisions for my exams.
Srsly all the modules for this term isn't doing me any justice.


Time to stop blogging, & back to ~thy case studies~
Please have mercy on this girl over here and may google give me all the right answers please!!!! :P

Why are we so different?

You're the perfect oxymoron of a similarly different person of me. 

For once,

Why can't you just sort out your priorities and stop acting like a baby?

I can never read you like how THEY can, so perfectly. I can't. I tried, but you're always shutting me off.  

Guess you'll just be my friend, maybe more like an acquaintance. I won't mind at all because at the end of the day when you require assistance, I'll never be there anymore. 

Because you've had your chance. I was always there all along looking over you yet you can so easily take me for granted and I don't know why you could manage that. 

You'll no longer hear from me. And I can no longer have you to fall back on.. Well, these promises were actually lies you've told years ago. 

.... Yep

Post exams / Bellabox Singapore June 2013

HI GUYS.

Haven't been updating this dead space. So anyway I'm almost done with my 1 week holiday ever since my exams ended. Well lets see,

Metabolic biochem was hell. Okay.
Biology of disease was averagely hell. Okay sure.
Food Biotechnology was insanely fun to do cause I studied the exact 2 topics that came up. Okay great!

Year 2 term 3 will be resuming on wednesday, all the modules seems really foreign so hopefully..
All the best to me! :)

---

So my June 2013 bellabox came!! At first they were mentioning about Wanderlust and all the travelling necessities, I was kinda turned off. Cause it doesn't really seem relevant to me.

Anyway when I opened the box I was greeted with a really lovely wrapper? The wrapper isn't like paper material so it doesnt tear easily.

Items I got from the June 2013 bellabox:

1) VMV Hypoallergenics id monolaurin gel

50 ml / $13          120ml / $32

Item worth: 50ml / $13

Said to apply to areas where its prone to acne breakouts like the chest or back. Can be used as an anti-fungal alternative or sanitizer. Smells quite queer to me, a little skeptical about this product.


2) VMV Hypoallergenics armada spot 70

15g / $10          85g / $53          185g / $82

Item worth: 15g / $10

Creates a protective barrier against the UV rays and it is waterproof. I might try and use it during work!


3) BOMB Cosmetics shower gel

350ml / $22.90

Item worth: 25 ml / $1.64

Didn't state what flavour it was on the packaging, but it smells very much like lime. Received alot of body wash from bellabox, have never used it before. Might try this out first cause this smells the most promising!


4) Justin Biber Girlfriend

30ml / $62          50ml / $79          100ml / $98

Item worth: 10ml / $20.67

They ended the description of this perfume on the description card with, "You will embrace the possibility of your ultimate dream... of being Justin's girlfriend." Ummmm kay.
So I guess the scent comprises of crisp Mandarin, juicy Blackberrym pink Freesia, star Jasmine, warm Vanilla Orchid and luminous Musk. Smells fine for me! Will definitely use this rollon perfume. Very glad this was a bigger size than previous samples :D


5) Veet

100ml / $11.80

Item worth: 25gms / $2.95

Um, personally I don't have hairy legs hahaha. But I'll definitely try this product! cause it doesn't cut your legs when shaving. HEEHEE.


6) Sasatinnie

5.5ml / $2

Item worth: 5.5ml / $2

Big fan of nail polishes myself. Was quite a delight to see this little heart shaped bottle sitting in the bellabox. Pretty pink colour with glitter. And I stupidly went to smell the opened bottle of nail polish cos the description card mentioned, "... with these floral scented nail lacquer gems!" but all I smell was the normal nail polishes smell. Prolly I'll have to use it on my nail to have the floral scent? Idk.


7) L'oreal Paris extraordinary oil (Bonus item)

100ml / $23.90

Item worth: 3.5ml / $0.84

Miracle oil.. Protectant... Nourishing treatment.. Ultra lightweight. Looks good enough for 2 tries maybe? Will try it out when I remember to. It can be used on both damp and dry hair, anytime on any hair type. Coolness.


8) Luxe city guide (Gift)

Item worth: $17 

I got the city guide to ~BANGKOK~. Mad love the beautiful city. Awesome gift, cause I was intending to head to Bangkok during the year end. Woohoooo, can serve as a great use!!


Total box worth: $68.10
Overall satisfaction: 7.5

Some of the items are pretty much of no use but there are other items that I couldn't wait to try.
Thanks Bellabox!
