6 facts about me

#1: I don't like to share my food and beverages 
I know caring is sharing and sharing is caring but NOOOOOO!!!!!

Joey and I are very much alike in terms of sharing food

I'll tend to get really pekchek when someone keeps looking at what I'm eating or asks me whether my food is nice or not. I know you confirm want to try hahahaha. I'll only share if, one; I'll give away my yellow/orange sweets cos them citrus flavoured sweets are gross, two; if I'm really full and don't wanna eat anymore or I don't like the food I have then I'll ask if anybody else wants them. hahaha I sound like such a food bitch kkkkkk. I don't know how people always seem to willingly agree to give away their food... Okay I don't know la probably they are really selfless. Maybe I'll learn to share food someday, maybe someday..


 #2: I absolutely love anything to do with cuticle care (manicure, pedicure) 
Occasionally I'll browse the web or watch videos on how to do pretty nail art and all. I'm still learning, the prettiest one I ever did was to draw 10 cupcakes on all of my fingers VERY meticulously.


Here are some of the nail designs that I did...




Just kidding. The red and white nail designs were nail stickers, the rainbow ponies and the white and blue nail designs were gelish manicures that I had it done at The Nail Artelier hahahaha.

Was very very proud of the cupcakes design, and I'm glad it lasted for quite a long time! I've had many compliments but nowadays I'm getting really lazy and just colour them in 1 basic colour. I prolly own 70-80 over bottles of nail polishes, nail foils, stickers and misc.. And I still think it isn't enough :( Was thinking of getting a gelish manicure set tho....


#3: I'm a homebody!!
I love staying home, I'm not that kinda person that always yearns to go hangout until the wee hours and not wanting to go home. I find I have so much things to occupy myself, and never had I felt bored at home. I could probably lock myself up for a few weeks at home and I won't even complain about it hahahha. When I'm out I will want to go home, when I'm home I'll never wanna go out. Weirdough.





 #4: I have absolutely no idea how to use make-up 
That's why some of my guy friends say I'm like a guy. I only am confident about drawing eyeliner, and sometimes the mascara. Other than that I don't know how to use make-ups at all. Things like toner, primer, foundation, I don't know what it enhances on the face nor do I know which to put on first. A friend tried teaching me how to use them and I tried it once, but I don't see any change and I think I look the same ahahaha. So might as well don't put makeup right?!

And when they offer to give me lessons on makeups....


Thank you for offering to help tho :D


#6: I have a fear of pigeons
OH MY GOSH THE HORROR... The way they're so bloody greedy, the way they flap their birds, their sense of direction sucks and they always seem to fly super close to humans... Do I need to explain further?!

I hate how I always gotta pass by the pigeons outside the mamashop when walking to jurong east mrt station. They're bloody fearless, see humans not scared just continue pecking and looking for food... Then some person will walk near them and thats when they'll be flapping their wings and I always think they're gonna hit my face ahahah.


STAHPPPPPPPP
DON'T COME NEAR ME!!!


#6: I LOVE POTATOES!!!
Everything potato, mashed potatoes, croquette, hash browns, potato skins, cheese fries, french fries, potato chips, potato pancakes, potato wedges..

And my 2 ultimate favourites.. POTATO SALAD AND BAKED POTATOES



BRB DYING

It is what it is... Is it?

What do you do when someone constantly asks you for favors and you help them without hesitation, when you see them in need and you lend them a helping hand with no questions asked, or even be their guardian angel and watch their backs all the time..

Yet all they did was to take things for granted? And when you require assistance or help for yourself from them and they refuse? Do you continue helping them or give up hope?

I don't know what to do anymore. It's been years. I am beginning to feel really drained. What to do.. Can anybody help me?

Absolutely love this track when I was hearing Protocol. Enjoy!!!

My beer brewing final year project

Yeah so school have started for like a month now, and I'm currently on my year 3 (final year!!) sem 2. I'm like 5/6 into my university journey now and time really flew by (awesomeeeeeee :D)

Was lucky enough to get my first choice of dissertation topic, "brewing flavoured beer". How awesome is that? Gotta do a dissertation on my choice of flavour of beer, get to drink and experiment with various flavourings. And as the fermentation process is quite a long wait hence, we need not go visit the lab everyday like other groups, such as cancer cell lines, kombucha etc. Our beer brewing group isn't exactly slack, it's just that fermentation takes up alot of time!!

Week 1 was all about filling up the COSSHH, ethics forms etc. Quite a bore la but it was required before the kickstart of our project. Week 2 was where we started brewing our first batch of lager!! Exciting stuff :)


Yupppp and there's our lager!

Us with Dr Katie

Both Audrey & I are under the same supervisor :D

And lastly, us with Dr Sunesh

Week 3 was all about the testing of our flavourings with commericial beer because our beer's primary fermentation was still ongoing until next week. Only some will know how much trouble and tough decisions I gotta make whilst deciding on my flavour for the beer. Spent quite a sum of $$ into making my own flavourings but I guess it didn't quite work out la so....

Experiments are expensive!!!!


Our red faces after the beer tasting session (HAHAHA)

Favourite girls :)


Yep. That's during our tasting session!

Overall this semester is very manageable and I don't feel the stress like how I did in year 3 sem 1 (where I had like over 25 assignments, reports and exams). This semester there'll only be an exam, a poster, an essay and my dissertation (which will  continue through year 3 sem 3!!). Exciting exciting stuff.

I'll be back to update my beer brewing journey!!

Chinese New Year 2014

HEY GUISEEEEE

Chinese New Year is here and I feel so jolly!! This festival is all I've been looking forward to every single day in the midst of all my assignments and exams period (booooooo). I love having all the steamboat, cny goodies, gamblings (I'll come to that later), and of course all the angpaooooooos hehehe.

初一

Went house visiting to my dad's side! Suggested to take a family photo to kickstart the new year's :)

The Lee Family!!

A picture with all the females of my dad's side cousins!

I don't normally take a selfie but here it goes!! Wearing my favourite colour :)

Went to RWS for...... A round of gambling at RWS casino hahahah.

Normally I'll be playing Tai Sai (大小). For those of you that don't know, its where there are 3 dices and you can bet small/big and random things like total sum, what number will be shown on the dice from 1-6, triple 1, 2, 3 all the way to triple 6 or all triples and stuff like that. It feels quite addictive, like you'll be throwing all your 5's poker chips on the table and when the portion where you placed your chips at lights up, you get all the $$$$. HOW ADDICTIVE IS THAT RIGHT?!?!?! I also played a new game called "Three Pictures". But this CNY period in casinos are quite bad la, cause they've raised the minimum bet from prolly $10 to $50 that kind. So... Win big or lost big.

That night wasn't really good... I lost prolly $2xx. Oh mannnnn :(


初二

Since we weren't doing any house visting on this day, we went back to the RWS casino again (LOLLLL). Cause we entered the casino at prolly 11pm the night before hence, the 24 hours entrance fees were still ongoing. Since I guess Three Pictures's minimum bet of $50 is rather high for me, I decided to fully pia Tai Sai instead.

I was in a good position that day, managed to recoup $1xx to cover my losses the night before hahaha. The family went for dinner at Malaysia Food Street located just near USS! And mannnn, can we really eat hahahaha.

Dinner for 5 at Malaysia Food Street

With ze sisterrrrr

Why can't all chocolates be human sized :P

We left the casino early to head on down to marina bay sands to the Hongbao River! It's like our family's tradition to go there every 2nd day of CNY :) And srsly it was wayyyyyy crowded than expected?!?!

The constant squeezing with people and all. The stall games were FREAKING OVERPRICED AS WELL WTH. For example there was a game where you'll get tokens to throw on this mat with many circle shapes, when your token lands in the middle you'll win a prize. And the price for this game cost $5 for 3 tokens... SERIOUSLY MAN.... Totally turned off. In the past few years where us family went to hongbao river, we'll view the exhibits and play stall games/go on rides. Now everything is soooo overpriced :(


初三

Head on down to mommy's side for house visiting!!

Dear momsy and I!

I love grandma's cooked food!!!!

With ze cuzzies :)


HUAT AHHHHH

So the sister kept suggesting to go to MBS casino instead cause she made a winning during the 2nd day of cny. Since momsy, myself and the sister haven't been to MBS before so we made a trip there (I know I know... It's unhealthy to gamble).


And srsly once we stepped inside the MBS casino all I can smell is SMOKE?!!? Damnnnnn. The 1st level is a nonsmoking zone but right in the middle is a big hole. I don't know how to describe it but it's like a circle with an empty interior. Located downstairs is the smoking zone with more tables and all. I don't get why don't they just make the smoking level on higher grounds and nonsmoking zone on the lower one.... I almost wanna die of inhalation of excess smoke :(

Well that night was the worst for gambling man. Lost $4xx wtfffffff hate it so much. There was once I've already won $125 to cover my losses yet I still continued betting cause I wanted to recoup at least half of what I lost. Dammit should have not continued but oh wellllll.. What they've said really is true, 十赌九输, if not who'll be paying all the casino staffs right....

Looks like I'm gonna have to work more to recoup my losses. Like dad said, 输钱很快但赢回来很慢, and that 做工包赢钱.

I must 脚踏实地 and earn money by the hard way hahaha. But seriously man... The addiction of gambling is so overwhelming.


初四

Didn't feel like working, felt like going to rest before the new school term starts so.. Momsy, daddy, my brother and I went to Siloso beach!! I'm quite sicken by sentosa already, always going there constantly to head to combat skirmish live to work or just to work mobile deals at mad rush. And everytime I yearn to go to the beach to get a tan when I pass by the beach, I can't cause if I work at cslive, I'll be working from like 9:30am-6pm so there goes the sun~
 

After the tanning session I felt quite relieved and I didnt think about gambling so much anymore hahahaha.

Well, the holidays pass by really fast and as much as I hate it, I wanna get my school over and done with so I can get my degree and start my working life. It's so funny really.. When I finished my diploma and started working at cslive as a contract staff for 7 months, all I wanna do is study and get a degree. And now I'm studying my degree, all I wanna do is start working again. Hahaha #lifewhyyoudodiz

G'night y'all, gonna head to bed and get ready to go to work tomorrow.
Hopefully not much customers pleaseeeeeee!!
