Movie Night

Dear Pink Bloggie

From the request of Brenda and Karen, it's definitely time to update my blog:) Seriously, I think my blog is like rotting??? Haha...I have not been posting any entries since 17 August 2009.

On 30 August, I met up with all my girlfriends. I'm really happy to see all of them( Hui Wen, Karen, Jean and Brenda). I feel like we have not met for ages yah??? We went to watch Coco Before Chanel:) I think Gabriella, nicknamed as Coco led a glamorous life. She was brave to go Paris alone and settled down in a castle instead:) I think she's like damn fortunate. Not many girls at that time get to live in a castle. She had the love of both men. But her heart only belonged to Arthur, nick named as Boy. Her love life was not completed after all because Boy died in a car accident. How sad it is! She did not believe in marriage. Until the day she died, she was not married. I think the reason as to why Chanel would become famous it's because the death of Arthur numbed Coco's heart. She put all her efforts in designing just to forget the pain. Also, Coco's style of dressing is totally different from the rest of the women during her time. She hated wearing corsets and feathers on her hats. She is definitely full of charm and uniquenes:) She is lucky to have met Arthur who's willing to sponsor her. Even today, Chanel is still remained as the luxurious brand all over the world. I shall not crap about the movie anymore. It's a great movie.

I'm feeling happy because I have finally met you guys:) After the movie, we went to Pepper Lunch and talked for quite a long time. It seems that everyone is so busy with their school life. I really want a travel trip with you guys:) Can anyone please suggest to me what places you wanna go? We don't just say, we must act!!!:) Think we have to decide asap cos tickets are going out fast. Genting, Macau or any other places??? Let's do a vote okay??? I am really looking forward to our next gathering. Let's go Singapore Flyer for our next gathering!!!!:) I'm really looking forward to a travel trip with all my girlfriends!!!:)

My 20th Birthday:)

Dear Pink Bloggie

On 15 August 2009, I have finally turned 20 this year:) I have been living in this world for 20 years! Time really flies! I wanna thank Mummy for going through so much labour pain to bring me into this world:) Mum is the greatest of all!!!:)

Since this is my last birthday spent in Singapore, I have decided to spend more money on my birthday cake:) I ordered a 500g strawberry shortcake from Canele( the one that I have mentioned before) through email. The person who has always been replying my email is very friendly:) The whole packaging looked really classy and nice:) I think it is worth the money for spending $32.15 on the cake:) Strawberry shortcakeis one of their signature collections. That's why I chose to order the strawberry shortcake:)

I think my birthday celebration was pretty simple:) We ate at home by having a simple dinner. My parents have sung their birthday song for their daughter for the last time. How sad it is! After that, I made a wish and cut the cake:) Well, I must say the quality of cake at Canele is really good. Strawberry shortcake tasted yummy. The cream on top is really smooth. There are lots of fresh strawberries hidden inside the cake:) The taste is not so sweet and not so creamy. Therefore, you will never ever get sick of it. I must say it's worth the money to buy high quality of cakes and pastries from Canele:) I think that the Strawberry Shortcake really satisfied my cravings for yummy desserts:)

I'm 20 years old now. I'm a big girl now:) I must be stronger:) I must not shed tears easily because it is one of my weaknesses. One year has passed again:) How time flies!!!:) Soon, I will enter the workforce annd start a new chapter of my life:)

I am feeling sinful

Dear Pink Bloggie

I went to Jurong Point with my mum tonight:) Then I have the craving for food served at New York New York. I feel so sinful because I am not supposed to eat my dinner because calories make me gain weight. There is nothing wrong with eating at New York New York. The problem is the portion of food that are being served at New York New York is huge!!! After finishing my Latin Chicken Chop, I feel so guilty and sinful. I feel even more guilty after finishing the Sunshine Enchantment. However, Sunshine Enchantment( New Drink) tasted really good.

The combination of sweetness and sourness of fruit juices:) It seems like I have consumed a lot of calories:( I always skip my dinner for the past one month or so. That's why I feel extremely guilty after finishing this huge portion of Chicken Chop and the drink. Looks like I have to run even harder to burn off those calories. All thanks to my cravings who got the better hand of me!

After finishing this dinner filled with sinfulness, mum and I went to Fairprice for our necessities. Ben and Jerry's ice cream were having an offer so Mum bought 2 trays, each containing 3 small tubs of different flavours:) My favourite is the Chocolate Fudge Brownie:) I wonder if there is Ben and Jerry in Brisbane because there is no Ben and Jerry outlets in Auckland!( That's what I heard from a friend who is studying in Auckland.)

After finish buying those necessities, we passed by THAT BOX where they sell dangling earrings. The pair of Hello Kitty earrings caught my eye. It reminds me of the drama, My Girl. Lee Dong Hye wore a pair of Kitty earrings that is similar to this in one of the My Girl scene. I still like the drama, My Girl alot even though it was first aired in 2006. Moreover, this pair was actually from Korea:) Without hesitation, I bought this pair of pinky kitty earrings at $9.90:) The pair of earring is made of 925 silver so it definitely loses its shine after a period of time. I will have to take care of this pair of cute Kittty earrings:)

Friday night has just passed by so quickly. Soon, 15 August will arrive and it will be a special day for me:):)

Thank you girls:)

Dear Pink Bloggie

I was inventing a new drink recipe. Blend Yakult, Apple and fresh Aloe Vera well. It tasted really good. I could not taste the bitterness( I always hate) in the Aloe Vera. Healthy drink!!!:) Recommended for those who are health conscious:)

At around 6pm, Jean wants to meet me at the bus stop to pass me my early birthday present:) I am absolutely fine with not having a celebration cos I understand that you guys are busy preparing for your prelims:) Study hard okay??? Let's meet up after you guys have finished your prelims:)

After reaching home, I unwrapped the huge present:) I am very happy with my birthday gift:) This huggie shall be named as Pinky:)

Thank you Jean, Brenda, Bee Teng, Karen and Hui Wen for the Pink Huggie and badges! I love you guys, muckaz!!!!:) I really love these presents:):) This is one of the best birthday gifts that I have ever received for my 20th Birthday:):) I will definitely take the pink huggie and the unique badges with me to Brisbane. Whenever I miss you guys, I will hug my Pinky and look through photographs of me taken with you people:). Note: The photo that contains the badges is not clear due to Camera focus. I have tried my best.

Chen Yuan can't believe that she's turning 20 this coming Saturday. I feel like I'm getting old. Thinking back, this is the last birthday that I'm going to spend in Singapore with my parents and friends. For the next four years of my life, I will be spending my birthday alone in Brisbane. How sad it will be. The moment I think of this, I feel like breaking into tears:( :(. I will always remember the happy times that we guys had together. These memories will be forever locked in my mind and I will never ever forget them.

Although we have known each other in the beginning of 2007, I feel like I am more closer to you people than my Secondary School friends. Whenever I am feeling sad, you guys would always be there to console me. I feel happy whenever I am with you people:):) Sometimes, I think it is fate and destiny that have brought us together:):) I am lucky to have good friends like you guys:):) We will meet up with each other frequently okay??? Promise me that I can still be able to meet you guys up everytime I come back to Singapore for my holidays okay???

Chen Yuan don't want to lose the valuable friendship that we always had:):) My life would be incomplete without you people around me:)

Finally finished my IELTS:)

Dear Pink Bloggie

Yeah! Chen Yuan has finally finished her IELTS. I must say the whole test went smoothly. Speaking test was absolutely great because I feel pretty relaxed when talking to the examiner. The moment when I entered the room, he tried to calm me down by saying that this is just a conversation. Hence, I do not have to feel tense and nervous. The words that he said to me really gave me a lot of encouragement. In the end, the whole speaking test was just like any other typical conversation. He asks me many things on Singapore and I like it because the topics that he asked me were all too familiar to me so I just rattled on and on without knowing that time just passed by so quickly. I like his accent:) All of his pronounciation are just so accurate and precise. His British accent is just so familiar to Singaporeans like us. Therefore, I'm totally used to his accent. I'm just so used to the way that British speak. Sometimes, I just feel that British accent sounds better than American accent. Haha, is it because I have been living in Singapore for too long since we always follow the way on how British pronounce certain words? I just love the way that my examiner speaks:) Chen Yuan is obessed over British accent:) I wish I would be like my examiner, speaking so fluently with a pure British accent:)

Finished the 1st part Of IELTS:)

Dear Pink Bloggie

Haha, I finally finished my IELTS test:) But, I still need to go for the speaking test:) In actual fact, I didn't have to take the IELTS because I have already received the unconditional offer from UQ. Since I paid three hundred bucks for the test, I might just sit for IELTS and get good scores for the test. My speaking test will be held on 11 August 2009. I really hope on that day I can speak fluently and achieve good scores so as not to waste my $300 on the IELTS:):)

Blisters are such a nuisance!!!!:(

Dear Pink Bloggie

Today is such a bad day for me. Just because I didn't take care of my feet well during running, there is a huge blister growing the area near my left foot sole. At first, there was minimal pain that is pretty bearable. I thought my blister will recover if I allow the fluid inside the blister to flow out instead. Sounds disgusting though. So out of the bloom, I poked my blister and lots of colourless liquid was oozing out. It's really really disgusting!!!:( In the end, my left foot feels more painful instead when I walk. Now, I can't even walk properly. Let alone going out with my friends:( Therefore, I hate blisters because they are extremely disgusting. Blisters can be such a nuisance at times:( How I wish my blister will be able to recover soon. Ouch! It hurts!!! Can anyone help me to ease the pain??? Poor me! I have to endure this pain all by myself. Lesson learnt- Don't ever poke your blisters because it just worsens the condition of your wound!

Jean's Birthday Celebrations @Tao's

Dear Pink Bloggie
On 1st August 2009, Jean celebrated her 19th belated birthday. Hui Wen brought us to Tao's for Jean's birthday celebration. Before Hui Wen and I went to Tao's, we bought Jean's favourite chocolate banana cake from Secret Recipe. After that, we headed to Tao's. I think that Tao's is just so far away from Dhouby Ghout Mrt Station. I think Hui Wen and I walked for quite a while before reaching POMO. I wonder why the place where Tao's located is called POMO? It is such a weird name. It used to be called Paradise Centre but they changed the name to POMO. How weird is that? I still think that Paradise Centre sounds nicer than POMO:)

All thanks to Hui Wen who has brought us to such a fantastic restaurant with good service! I really like the food, the ambience and the service. The lightings are so suitable for taking pictures. The ambience is quiet and tranquil. It is a great place for friends to hang out with each other. Sometimes, I feel like it has been ages that we have not beeen seeing each other even though we have just met about 2 weeks ago. Sometimes, I feel that it is destiny that allow us to be in the same class and become really really close friends. I think all those memories that you people have created for me will be forever embedded in me. I will definitely bring these memories with me when I go to Australia next year!:) I will definitely miss you guys when I'm in UQ next year!

Also, the price of $19.80++ for a six course meal is definitely reasonable and affordable. I seriously think that Hui Wen has brought us to the right restaurant. The starter is cheesy and tasty, something that I have always loved. The bread goes well with the cheesy sauce. Even there is no sauce for the bread, it tasted yummy too. I feel like drooling when I am talking about food. I love to eat, especially when it comes to meat and exquisite stuff.

I can't believe that we actually took two hours to finish a six course lunch. We took so many pictures. I have already uploaded the photographs to Facebook! I really love those pictures that were taken at Tao's. I just love to hang out with my girl gang. It seems like we always have unstoppable conversations with each other. Also, Hui Wen and I gave Jean frog key chain and frog mug for her birthday since she loves frogs so much;)

After eating our lunch, Brenda, Me and Jean went to PS for a walk. In the end, Brenda and I bought bracelets from Mini Bits. Jean bought a Ripples pouch and clip on earrings from Mini Bits. I also bought nail polish and face mask from Etude House, the Korean cosmetic shop endorsed by Lee Min Ho from Boys Over Flowers. Finally , I got a Lee Min Ho file holder after spending an amount of $11.80. I do not know why I am still crazy over Boys Over Flowers. Lee Min Ho, Kim Hyun Joong and Kim Bum are just so hot!!! I love all three of them. I seriously think that Lee Min Ho looks like Jerry Yan, the more handsome version of Jerry Yan. I mean Jerry Yan is no longer famous in the Entertainment industry right? No offence to those fans of Jerry Yan.

After that, Jean says she has to go and join her family for dinner so me and Brenda went to Orchard Central to have a look at her Ipod touch so that she can watch Super Junior on her way to school:) Orchard Central is absolutely foreign and new to me. When we entered the mall, it was like a maize to both of us. A lot of the outlets are still not opened yet. Lots of brands that I have never ever heard before in my entire life! We still bought some stuff. Brenda bought 2 pairs of earrings wheres I bought a pair only since 3 pairs for five bucks. We were always searching for an Apple Retail Store. We thought we could not find it but we still found it in the end.

We spent quite a long time at the Apple Premium Seller's store. Brenda was hesitant about buying the Ipod Touch but I persuaded her for a very long time. I'm a fan of apple especially towards the series of Apple players like shuffle, classic and touch. That's why I tried to brainwash Brenda so that she will not be so indecisive. I bet Brenda is enjoying her ipod touch, watching all her super junior videos. Haha:) I totally love shopping with Brenda and Jean. It seems like Brendawill always give me the right advice and Jean is always bubbly and funny;) Think when they finishes her A levels, I must go shopping with them more often. Haha:) I wonder if Brenda and Jean loves to shop with me. I hope so because I really love shopping with them.

After buying Brenda's ipod touch, we took a train instead of taking Express 502 because the nearest bus stop is at Ngee Ann City that is quite far away from Orchard Central. On the train, I told Brenda that I want to go travelling with her. We are both excited over travelling. I really hope we can travel together by the end of this year before I go to Brisbane. Brenda can also visit me when I'm in Brisbane. The same invitation goes to the rest in my girl gang. Come and visit me and Xiao Hua in Brisbane okay?

I had such a fun day and I totally enjoyed myself so much. I really love my friends. They are just so fun to hang out with!!!
