For standing by me time and time again

Last Friday, I attended my wonder-woman's convocation ceremony at the Chjimes Hall and I am so proud to share the day with all of you today! The night before, teeter and I planned to head to town early because she needed to get proper  clothes for the event but she, unfortunately, had a con-call in the morning and we didn't leave house until 11ish. It wasn't long before she had to go off to meet a friend for lunch so Mama and I walked around looking for a place to eat at. As usual, we had a hard time deciding where to dine at and we finally settled at Domani, an Italian restaurant very conveniently located at Takashimaya Departmental Store.  Such a cheery looking menu cover! Actually makes me really happy looking at it. :-) Prices were reasonably ranged from $10 onwards to below $25. I consider those reasonable  considering the location + the quality (to come later on). They had a lunch promotion so I ordered a set lunch inclusive of a main, a soup-of-t...

CATCHING UP WITH TIME

Flashback to last Saturday (21/6): Mama and I had lunch at Swensens with the cousin I haven't seen in a long, long  time. Also managed to see my niece, whom I haven't seen in an even longer time. The sister joined us for only a while because she had to attend an event at her ex-colleague's place. Selfie first before she took her leave: While waiting for our food, I observed how shy my niece is just like her mother/my cousin. And how she's grown so much since the last time I saw her! Babies grow so fast I cannot believe I don't see my niece enough to watch her go through several phases. ): Finally handed her the present my aunts bought when they were here in May. Look at her uninterested face! We couldn't even get her to open the present on her own. But that all changed when she saw what was inside. ;-) Obviously (but not so obviously either) in love with her new bag Took her a long time to warm up to me and it wasn't until we...

GOOD DAYS

#Day 18 (12/04/2014): I did nothing productive today! But I guess the good thing is I got to laze around and take things slow. Saturdays like this are so precious I wish they never had to end. ☺ #Day 19 (13/04/2014): Spent a couple of hours at the gran's place today! As usual, spent a lot of time talking to my demented grandfather, who is also very, very  hard on hearing but I love talking to him nonetheless. ☺ I love his responses and his quirky remarks. I only pray he'll be around long enough to see me get married and that he'll always be healthy and strong. ☺ #Day 20 (14/04/2014): It's the first day of the last week of school and while I'm excited, I'm scared too. Korean listening went pretty okay. We also made kimbap  during class. ☺ I ate mine on the spot so no photos but just know I enjoyed myself today! I really like my Korean class. Even though I don't know most of them, my tutor is really encouraging and she's so enthusiastic about...

REMEMBERING

More of the #100happydays to come! #Day 13 (07/04/2014): Today, I found out Fairy Tail has returned to the mini screen! Super excited that I watched it first thing this morning before leaving house for school. ☺ Fell in love with the opening song immediately and all my NaLu feels… Oh my, I know this season is gonna be an awesome one! Thank God for BoA's voice and the amazing opening really. We might finally see NaLu happening (not). I've read the manga and I know it's definitely not headed that way but the anime looks a lot more… sharper now. I notice the minor changes they made to Mira and Gajeel and every one actually but I actually think Gajeel looks uglier. Or maybe not . Whatever it is! I enjoyed today's episode! #Day 14 (08/04/2014): Thankful for Tuesdays because I get to go home early! Only one hour of lesson so I ate lunch at home today. ☺ Read the newspapers because that's what I have to do every Tuesday (every day, actually) in pre...

METRONOME

Before posting, I'd like to share the following music video by Jay Park.   Jay Park is, by far, one of my favourite  solo male artist. ☺ Metronome  has been on replay ever since I first heard it two days ago. What makes the song even more awesome is the fact that Simon D and Gray are in it too! I'm so proud of Simon D for making his comeback in this song. I've always wondered what would happen to his music career ever since Supreme Team disbanded last year but hearing him rap again has got to be one of the best ways to celebrate the end of this semester. ☺ I also really, really love Gray's part. It's just so… amazing. Anyway, enjoy the song and spread the goodness! Moving on to what I'm about to share. Today marked the last day of Y2S2. Not that there's nothing left to school but I've officially ended all my lessons and what's left are the written papers and my listening and oral test for Jap. Other than that, I guess I could ...

Photography

#Day 2 (27/3/2014): Amidst half preparing myself for a test plus half battling sleep deprivation, I was pleasantly greeted by a Facebook notification on Kay Chin's comments in response to my work. Nothing beats having your efforts recognized. ☺  Most of you are probably already aware but I'm taking a module called Photojournalism  and Kay Chin is the teacher in charge. Pretty nice fellow! He's apparently a famous photographer in Singapore and he even has his own Wikipedia page. If you're wondering, the second comment is actually a critique for an assignment: Caption:  When someone we never thought we had to live without stops coming home, the only thing that's left is the void he/she left behind. No matter how hard we try, no matter how much time passes, that void will probably remain for a long time. Even though the adult in us has learned to move, sometimes the child in us continues to wish for him/her to miraculously show up at our doorst...
