to be honest, being away is tough. and feeling homesick is inevitable no matter how hard you try to distract yourself and keep yourself busy. praying helps. and not being alone all the time cooped up in your room all alone helps too. i guess i just have to get into the momentum again and try to get use to life here once more. its definitely not easy getting back on track after three months of vacation. but i know im stronger than this. everything is going to be alright.

thank you baby for helping me get through the past few days. i really dont know what i'd do without you. i know its going to be tougher and a hell lot more worse once assignments and tests come in. and seriously, the heat is draining me out. i feel like im perspiring 247. even right after a cold shower. this is seriously insane. its crazy hot here. im dyingggg. every morning i wake up and miss you even more baby. but every morning when i wake up, i'd tell myself that no matter how long more it seems till july, i know its still one day closer to being able to see you again. you may not know this but you're the motivation of my everyday here.

school's starting in a few days time. i hope time passes faster once lessons and tutorials begin.

sighhh. its going to be tougher. so i have to be stronger.

PHOTOS ARE ON FB.

i had great weekend last week (:

meet mummy for lunch at vivo on friday. went to some place called central something near provence which sells like yong tau foo stuff and noodles. since we're both greedy people, we went to toast box after for coffee and thick toast. heh. went for a hair cut! decided to chop it all off. actually i've been wanting to cut my hair short for quite some time already. just chickened out the last two times. so this time, i told my hairdresser to faster cut before i change my mind.

went to meet glenn after for dinner. soup spoon! i like soup spoon. but he didnt seem to enjoy dinner at all. :/ i think soup spoon is more for females.

met my family at cine after to catch its a great great world!! hahah i love the stories in the movie. so funny!! the different dialects makes them funny. i think my sister got bored after awhile. she couldnt stop fidgeting so annoying kept moving and shifting. my parents loved it thou cause its like a movie based on this place called the great great world which if im not wrong is currently great world city now. it gave me insight to how the past was like. interesting (:

toast box for some thick peanut butter toast and soft boiled eggs for breakfast on saturday. and of course coffee (: i have to start my weekends with coffee. novena after with glenn. then headed off to town with glenn and charmaine. she was going to meet aloy while we were going to meet my family and relatives for steamboat at coca international building!! wasnt quite satisfied after the steamboat so we all went to canele for desserts!!! macrons there are love. glenn and i shared and opera and a nougatine crepe. dont really like the opera at all. i think coffee should be coffee and chocolate cake should be chocolate cake. not mixed. but the crepe was really good.

our original plan was to go tanning at like two-ish but we only ended our desserts at around late 3-ish. so by the time we reached sentosa, the sun was gone and there was even some announcement made that there's some lightning alert and we couldnt go in the water and all. annoying weather. >: s

did some shopping for aussie stuff and dinner at queen and mangosteen after. glenn likes this place (: we had fish and chips (entree size), hot wings and pan fried snapper with risotto. it was his first time having risotto and he likes it!! i was like trying so hard to describe what risotto is to him. i said it was like in between rice and porridge like mui fan. hahha. max brenner for dessert!!!! we had banana split waffle (y) and milk hot chocolate. im going to try the dark hot chocolate next time. it comes in a hug mug where you're supposed to hug the mug and drink it. it was good. but i think the best hot chocolate i had was at st churros in perth. and their churros are wayyyyyyyy shiok.

went to carl's place after for rachel's farewell party. am going to miss those people. all the girls are leaving for different parts of australia. and the guys are still stuck in ns.

strictly pancakes with family for breakfast after church. we all had short stacks each. and in the menu, you can choose like short medium or large stack with four different kinds of butter and there's optional sides as well like corned beef hash, scrambled eggs, chicken chipolata and such. and my dad wanted two sunny side up on the side. okay this was how the conversation went.

dad: can i get two sunny side up on the side as well please.
girl: oh we dont have sunny side ups as our sides. just scrambled eggs.
dad: but eggs are eggs what whether its sunny side up or scrambled or poached or omlette, they're all still eggs.
girl: ya exactly, if eggs are eggs then why can you get the scrambled?! (with that kind of stuck up attitude tone) (WTF SERIOUSLY)
dad: im not asking you for something you dont have in your kitchen or something that its so difficult to prepare, its even easier to cook than scrambled! and you have this Hawaiian concoction that has pancakes with grilled pineapples and two sunny side ups so its not something that is not in your menu.
girl: but its against our policy to serve sunny side ups as a side.
dad: what rubbish is that. who's policy? yours or the restaurants?
girl: the restaurant's.
dad: who owns the restaurant? i'd like to speak to the owner.
girl: i am the owner!
dad: well in that case, im never coming back to this place again.
girl: suit yourself its up to you. you can even cancel your order now and just walk off. (in that roll eyes attitude snobbish tone again)

i just totally wanted to slap her face. i mean if you really dont serce sunny side ups then fine just tell the customer nicely. not in that stuck up i am the boss tone. ew. makes me not want to go back there anymore.

anwyayyy. went to holland village to get flowers and delifrance after to get some madalines for glenn. met him at hbf interchange and off we went to sentosa again for our second attempt to tan! the sun was gooood and scorching hot. i like i like. tanning and swimming till about four. went supermarketing after and dinner at ps cafe (: ps onion steak burger, spicy meatball pasta and chocolate crunch cake. (:

went back to his place for him to pack and dropped him off at camp. i hate it when he books in.

valentine's day was spent at home packing. met aaron for sogurt after dinner and did you know that sogurt empties their yogurt machines every day before closing so they can wash the machine. so they'll just put buckets under the machine and empty all the yogurt which will melt and turn to liquid. then they'll wash the machine and pour the liquid yogurt back in to refreeze it. gross or not, it tastes good. just dont think about the refrozen x 1000 times yogurt while eating it.

today's already tuesday. one week more.
