My Week in Photos: Week Two of Year 4!

Sunday, 25 August 2013

Well... I got addicted to doing these "My Week in Photos" posts.
Afterall, my blog started off as a diary :)
I won't be writing this every week I guess.
Can foresee that some weeks will be rather dull.
But... so far so good :)

Since the previous post ended with last Friday, let's start with last Saturday :)

♥♥♥

Last Saturday I made maki sushi with my grandma! :)
Cucumber + Mayo + Furikake
Simple cucumber maki cause grandma insist that I just had my laser done
and cannot eat eggs or crab stick.
Doctor also didn't say cannot. But since she don't allow, oh wells.

♥♥♥

One of the days I received more products from Make Up For Ever (MUFE)!
Love MUFE products to bits. You can check out my first MUFE on the Blue Sepia palette here :)
My face has almost fully recovered from the laser. Can't wait to try these products!

♥♥♥

My dear MacBook Air arrived on monday :) Sponsored by my daddy hahas.
Got psycho-ed by my friends to get this and upgrade to the max.
My Macbook white has been my "desktop" for quite some time cause my battery died.
It reached it's 1000 battery cycle and died on me! Lesson learnt: don't let it reach 1000 battery cycles!
For mac users, whenever you can use the power supply, just use it.
Bought this MacBook Air cause I needed a lappy that I can use without power supply.
And love this MacBook Air cause it's so light! :) Thank you daddy!
Actually my panasonic GF6 also sponsored by him hahas.

♥♥♥

Study date with my east side study buddy, Xin Ci! :)
Okays we didn't study as much this time cause some things cropped up.
And also I underestimated the amount of lectures that I am lagging.
So some tutorials that I brought there, I can't do hahas.
But at least got study abit ;) Oh and I got baby mantou there to eat :)

♥♥♥

Received a Limited Edition Bellabox!
Specially for the celebration of Singapore’s birth month,
Bellabox worked with a designer to get this beautiful peranakan design!

♥♥♥

Saturday meet up with my JC clique.
Had lunch at Lerk Thai followed by Gong Cha.
No full attendance though.
In the photos (clockwise) - Me, Li Hui, Shiyun, Kai Ru
Missing - Alicia, Vicky, Fang Ru
Won't be able to have full attendance for a year,
cause Li Hui is flying off to scotland next week!
She's gonna tour USA too. I'm super jealous bout that!
Told her to pack me in her luggage hahas =P

♥♥♥

After meeting the girls, I met up with Felicia!
And... we forgot to take photos together!
Anyways we had Gong cha and HK sheng Kee dessert together :)
The photo above is the liu sha bao we had.
I always forget to take photos together one...
Next time whoever meetup with me remind me can? Hahas.
We had a long htht session. Miss talking to this girl!
We have forever non-ending topics to talk one.
Everytime in hall we say we will sleep soon but end up chatting till late in the night!
Now abit hard for us to meetup cause our timetable's don't match at all.
But... we will meet up again soon ;)
Next meetup planned already hahas! #secret

♥♥♥

So... that's all for my week!
Today shall be mugging day.
And the vicious school cycle starts tomorrow.
I really really really need to catch up on all my lectures!
Finally completed clearing week one lectures and tutorials only.
Will blog again soon!

My Week in Photos: First Week of Year 4!

Friday, 16 August 2013

Another My Week in Photos post :) So I am now Year 4 in NTU!
First week of school was well... super chillax?
All the lectures are teaching you the history of the modules.
100% not something that they will test you in the exams.
But anyways I have been a good girl, attended all most of my lectures for week one ;)

Here are my week one photos!

♥♥♥

First Back to School photo hahas.
It was a mad cold morning and I had cold watermelon juice #win
Was totally freezing the rest of the day lols.

Photo with Yuji during our first lecture together!
Well... first lecture nothing much one so take photo? Hahas =P

Then met Mark and Kelvin for lunch.
Mark drove us out to IMM and drove us back to school again :)
Good thing about having a friend who drive ;)

The above photos were all from day one of school.
Hahas I know right, day one only spam photos already =P

♥♥♥

Day two's lunch!
Chicken chop at MOF with Yuji :)
This meal was super filling. I couldn't finish my wedges (as usual).
Why my appetite so small but I so fat arr?
I really really really need to lose weight!
Anyways we did some shopping around JP after that ;)

♥♥♥

Day five, which is today!
Went to DRx Clinic for my third laser treatment and also replenished my products.

Well... I self declared no schools on friday.
Cause I only have two lectures and one tutorial and I self swap that tutorial slot to monday.
So... friday is a e-learning day hahahas! Online lectures, you are a life saver!

♥♥♥

Still trying to get used to waking up at 6am everyday and sleeping at 12mn every night!
My timetable isn't that horrible actually *self console* engineering timetables are always like that.
Good thing that EEE has recorded lectures for all/most modules! :)
Anyways, I've scheduled a couple of posts for the next few days.
I hope this blog won't get neglected when school starts. Need to prioritize my time well.
Will try to schedule posts whenever possible and focus on my studies at the same time!

And... as I am typing this post, my face is mad red cause the laser treatment!
As usual, I will have my post up in about a week or two.
I guess it won't be as detailed as the previous posts already?
Since you all already know what will happen.
But still, I will be doing a post for it cause DRx increased the intensity of this laser treatment!

I hope my face will be okay on monday though.
Still need to go school next week! Hahahas.
Trying to be a good girl okay. Else I will pon even more classes.

So... that's very much what happened for week one hahas.
That's all for this post! :)

Week 4 and 5 Updates :)

Wednesday, 1 August 2012

I'm back with Instagram updates again!
This time for week 4 and 5! And now it's week 6 already!

We finally had yoshinoya in UCLA! :)
It's at the other part of the school where we didn't explore.

Hollywood hike!

Group photo thanks to a nice guy who was there!
He is there so often that he knows where and how to take the perfect shot with the sign!
He took many shots for us and even swap us around so the photos won't look the same hahas.
And even said he hope he wasn't mixing up the boy girl thing lols!

Left lessons halfway to slack and have salad on the grass patch in school =P

Another movie outing - The Dark Knight Rises!
There was so many shooting scenes in the show and we were all so paranoid!

To and fro is only $2!

Felt like a monkey at the end of the trip lols!
You will know why when I blog about it in detail ;)

The taste wasn't bad. Easier to drink than other alcohols I've tried before.

And... That's all for the updates!
Now I've got to go back to studying!
Got an exam tomorrow and the day after.
And now I'm feeling all the sadness cause I know I'm leaving USA soon :(

Updates Again! Week 2 and 3! :)

Tuesday, 17 July 2012

OMG! I just realised I haven't been blogging for very very long!
Have tons of travelogues to do but I just can't find time to organise the photos and stuff now :(

Okays here are some updates! For Week 2 and 3!

We went to UCLA gym! Their gym is huge!
And I didn't know the distance shown on their machine was in miles.
So two things happened...
1. I was wondering why running at 5km/h was so fast for me.
2. Why I took 18mins to run 2km!
But... It's actually 5mph = 8kmph and 2miles = 3.2km!

Girls night out! :)
After exercising we had a sinful meal.
Mr.Noodle :) Love their murukku, fried tofu and pad thai there! Yummy!
Their green curry was ok too. But...
Their chicken rice was bleah :(
And my instagram photo order is wrong.
It's mr.noodle for dinner then ihop for breakfast the next day.
But the next day after uploading ihop then i remembered mr.noodle one wasn't uploaded.

Ihop for breakfast!
This was on independence day!
Yummy breakfast before shopping at the outlet :)

And it was fireworks at night! :)

Then it was an early surprise birthday celebration for weida! :)
His birthday is on 6th but we celebrated on the 5th cause we were going to San Diego the next day.
But anyways when we celebrated it was 6th for SG time already :)

Joy and I baked oreo cheesecake! :)
First time baking! Usually I do the chilled cheesecake one.
No oven at home. Daddy should buy one soon!

Nongshim Party!

One fine day we slept on the grass in school!
Hahas! Something you can't do in SG!

Ice Cream after school! $1 only :)

Last friday we went to Six Flags! It was awesome!
Haven't screamed (the scared ahhhhhh type of screaming) in theme park for very long already. lols.
Even for Busch Garden I didn't scream at all :) Was woohooo-ing all the way.
But the first two rides in this theme park made me scream! lols!

Yesterday (Sunday) was beach time! :)
We went to Venice Beach!
Sun tanning. I still don't look dark though.
Think my sunblock very pro hahahahas!
And I was glittering the whole day like a vampire under the sun.
Cause I used Burt Bee's moisturizer. Love that moisturizer.
Gonna buy more bottles back to SG! hahas =P

That's all for the updates.

Updates from Los Angeles Week 1 :)

Tuesday, 3 July 2012

I just finish fighting stars wars! lols!
It's what we called our NTU course registration =P
Cause it's on Stars Planner and it's like a war! Fastest fingers first! And I got everything I wanted :)

For us stars wars started at 9.30am SG time (6.30pm LA time).
Didn't manage to get everything that I wanted then.
But guess what? Cause we are overseas, they extended our course registration timing!
So for the 1.30pm SG time slot, they will open up new slots and we could add before everyone else could! MUAHAHAHAHAS! *evil laughter* lols.

Updates again :)
I just came back from Las Vegas over the weekends.
Left on Friday and came back on Sunday.
Vegas was nice! BUT the weather was damn hot and the air had lots of smoke and dust.
Could felt it was really dry there :(

Nonetheless, here are my instagrams!

Here's what I did at the airport! MCO's free wireless is fast! hahas.
It's a collage of some of my disney photo pass photos :)

On plane 1 towards Miami (transit) :)
Had to take two planes from Orlando to Los Angeles.
American Airlines! It's not bad cause seating is fixed!
And I was able to check in using the Disney World transport!
So I left my Disney hotel without any luggage =P

On plane 2 towards Los Angeles :)
Requested for windows seats when I was buying my tickets.
And was luckily both flights were window seats!

Day 2 in Los Angeles and we had lunch at In-N-Out!
It's near our apartment ;) Just a short walk.

First day in school! Blogged about this before.
UCLA is such a pretty place! Flowers everywhere.

And one of the days we had chinese food in school!
Panda Express :)

And one of the nights we had asian food for dinner!
Fried rice, Pad thai, Ramen and Kuay Tiao (i think) lols.

Breakfast that Joy and I made for everyone!
Joy cut the mushrooms while I cut the sausage (hot dog).
Then I had to fry them and apply the pasta base of the bread.
And help joy place the sausage and mushrooms and cheese onto the bread.
And place the bread into the oven :)
Joy had wanted to place the mushroom then apply the pasta lols!

And the first weekend was spent in Las Vegas!
This is a photo collage of our helicopter ride in Grand Canyon :)

This was what we had to do to Joy's chocolate.
Place it in the aircon of the car! lols.
Cause the weather in Las Vegas is crazy! Super hot and all the choco melted.

And that's all for today! Got to go do my assignment now! Must submit tomorrow!
