a good start to my holidays

POSTED ON: @ 09:44 | 0 comments

so,
the holidays are finally here!
and in a blink of an eye,
2.5 days of the holidays have passed!

what have I been doing?
well, right after my last paper (hell yea, this is the first time I've completed a full paper on time in poly!)
I went to hougang and punggol plaza to buy baking materials and ingredients
and I basically spent the entire day baking Whoopie Pies, Chocolate Truffles and Sugar Cookies
no pictures, cause they are a massive fail and I am a failed baker
//cries

the next day,
I prepared some stuff and went out with kevin (idk if it is okay for me to say??? idk???)
went to esplanade to get a spiderman poster from the post shop
then to plaza sing, supposedly to go to the second hand book shop, but it closed down
so we wandered around dhoby for a while
and then went to strictly pancakes
after finishing some beverages (haha go to strictly pancakes but didn't eat?), we went down to cineleisure to catch Begin Again
such. a. good. movie!
I don't know whether it is because I am a music player myself, or what
but the movie gave me so much feels and emotions
especially when the main character sang Lost Stars on stage (okay no more spoilers)
and when the instruments accompaniment was added to the guitar+vocals = the impact was such a big difference
after the movie, we went to eat supper
and he sent me halfway home even though it was out of the way for him
and tbh that hit something inside me - I was very touched by how it is already late but he still took note to send me halfway home and take the purple line
(ok that sounds like I'm being dramatic, but well.. I'm not labelled as 'an emotional person' without reason)

it's the little things that matter

















today, I woke up at 6am just to help my sister film my granny in her market
spent the morning there (and mostly wasting my time there)
then I came back to do some work and record some stuff
then I went out for dinner with the fluffs
<3
















this holiday will be a damn busy holiday
and it'll be a test of my time management skills so that I'll have time to read, do music, do art, watch shows, go out, etc.
well.. at least it shows that I'm spending my time fruitfully this holiday




is this magic
am I dreaming
cause if it is, I don't wanna wake up

happy 18th

POSTED ON: @ 09:08 | 0 comments

so, a few days ago, it was my birthday!
although my actual birthday wasn't as pleasant an experience as a kid in disneyland,
but the few days leading up to my birthday made me realise how blessed I am with so many close friends of mine :')
here's a post to document and thank each group of crazy friends that I have (you guys are all damn crazy, and I love all of you so much)

(big disclaimer here: this post is in no way trying to boast "the gifts I got for my birthday" or anything of that sort. It is just a platform for me to remember the sweet things my friends did for me, and thank them)
(another disclaimer: this post may be bombarded with photos. You have been warned)

28 July 2014
I went out with my dear Marlene to eat breakfast and study
and she surprised me with my first 18th birthday present :')
at first Marlene wanted to lie to me and say that my present was her cousin's present
but because silly me "lost" my wallet right when I met her, she could tell that I had no mood to be "lied to???"
so she passed me my present and TADA!

Dear Marlene,
thank you for being such a best friend to me for 5 years and 8 months (why are we so specific in counting hahahhaha)
they say that after 7 years of friendship, the friendship will last forever
I can't wait to celebrate our 7 years of friendship soon hehhe
thank you darling for keeping me in your life
and for being one of the only few people on this world that I am fully comfortable in spending time alone with (if I am making any sense here)

My crazy fluffs gave me one of the biggest surprises of my life (so far)
I met belo in botanic gardens after school, and we were supposed to go find jia in lorong chuan
then belo brought me along this landed property area (after so so so many lies //cries laughing)
half way walking, belo suddenly stopped and told me "okay don't think too much okay I'm gonna blindfold you now" and she took out her scarf hahahaha
so we were walking and I had no idea where we were going and I was like "what is happening okay omg what?"
when we entered a noisy environment, I think I shouted for help and one of the waiters was like "don't worry" or something hahahha
and guess what
the fluffs brought me to wimbly lu OMG???????
my blindfold was taken off, and in front of me was this massive box, and jia and ting in front of me
i couldn't even~

Dear fluffs,
I have no idea what I can say to you girls, cause I don't think any words will do my thoughts justice
thank you for accepting me for who I am, and for being such lovelies
they say you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with, and I thank my lucky stars that I can be the average of you three beautiful ladies
from the day we became classmates,
till now look how far we've become
our friendship as strong as ever
and I love you girls so much

supposedly, I was to celebrate elton's birthday with ben and others in the esplanade
but when I reached there, it turned out that it was my surprise
I don't even
ben and elton cooked dinner for me, and even bought an entire cake for me
so we ate dinner and talked
and it was a good evening spent talking and chatting about random school stuff

Dear Ben and Elton,
thank you for planning such a surprise for me!
it is such an honor to be your friends and for you guys to plan a surprise for me is like wow
I'm really glad to have met you guys from HOT, and well
TEAM AUGUST!














16 August 2014
so at around 7.45pm, I was supposed to go punggol mrt to meet ruiyuan
when I got down the lift, guess who's just in the lift lobby: ruiyuan hahaha
he blindfolded me, and brought me a few steps into the void deck of my block
when I was unblindfolded, on the table was 18 mini cakes, with billy aloy jalvin and luobin
TOTAL SURPRISE
so we sat at the void deck and chatted for a while
then billy left, and the others came up for dinner (well, I whipped up some noodles and dishes. not really nice tbh, but well it was edible hahaha)
then we all chatted till about 9.45pm

when suddenly
I heard a "hello?" right outside my house
I walked to the gate to see....
WENWEN AND YANYAN?? BOTH OF THEM TIED UP??
hahahhaha they said that they're the best present I could ever have (or something)
and left without saying much
then when I opened the door to let ruiyuan they all leave,
I saw that wenwen yanyan and jacey were still there hahahah
they passed me a card, an envelop and flowers
and told me "open the envelop once we are gone ok!"
when I opened the envelop, there were 3 clues
and I took quite a while to solve the clues #chilingfail
the clues led me to the playground behind my block
and the girls celebrated my birthday with my fav chocolate cake hahaha
then they came up and we chatted for a while

Dear boomers (aka bloomers wooh flower power!),
thank you for such a surprise! I really had no clue that you guys will come ALL THE WAY DOWN TO PUNGGOL just to give me a surprise????
tbh I was really really touched, because we haven't been in touch with each other constantly, especially this year
this meant so much to me, and I really treasure the group of you a lot
your smartness and goofy-ness and lame-ness has never failed to make me laugh and be amazed
and I hope time will not drift us apart: aka let's please keep in contact even if you guys are in NS or Uni okay!
good luck to all of you for your As or GPA(??)
y'all can do it de!













Dear slutz/s4,
you girls are so creative and cray I can't even //cries laughing
It was such a surprise when you girls came (especially since it was exam period then!!)
I am so thankful to have the three of you with me through this poly life
and without y'all, I really don't know how my poly life would be
thank you for being supportive and entertaining and loving
it has been a really fast 1.5 years, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the years with y'all














overall,
this year has been the most blessed year I've had so far
so much have changed since my 17th birthday
and I'm so glad to have survived another year
so thankful for all my family and friends
cause without you all, there won't be me
love all of you so much
xoxo

hospital :(

POSTED ON: Tuesday, 19 August 2014 @ 07:26 | 0 comments

here is a big public service announcement

TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN BODY
and
DO NOT EAT FISH

I'm currently at the hospital
and here is what I've learnt based on the few hours that I've been here:

1. the hospital staff may not be the most welcoming or hospitable people you may meet (get it? hospital? hospitable? too soon? okay)

2. they will tend to run a lot a lot of tests: test this, test that.. test everything

3. it is not a good place to be at

//deep sigh

if you have time,
please pray for my grandma

please be alright
-[chi ling]-

edit: I realised that I made it seem way more serious than it is. touch wood. although it is damn serious, but I believe that my granny is strong enough!

I don't know

okay this was typed on 17 August, 11:55pm
but because I don't want to ruin my birthday post for such a 'happy' occasion, I shall post the day after tomorrow (19 August)


----------
okay I know I said I'll post about the surprise today
but well
it's my birthday, just let me be~
I'll post tomorrow night instead! (when I am taking a break from studying anyways)
(advanced disclaimer: it'll be a really long post tmr)

so what did I do today?
I studied
I went out
I came back home and had a minor panic crisis
I went out again
then I came back

I don't know whether this is me studying too much that the stress is slowly building inside me without me realising
I don't know..

today definitely wasn't the best day for me
(thus the lack of mood to post)
I really don't want to continue studying anymore :( what is the point of cramming everything into my brain for the exams, and by the end of the exams I'll most definitely forget what I studied???
is this how studies is supposed to be?
I'm not even fully enjoying the process of my studying, because it is all "okay I must cram everything" and I don't have the luxury of time to slowly process everything I have learnt

I don't know
today hasn't been a good day for me
and I foresee the coming week won't really be either

and what the hell why isn't my fever subsiding?
it has been what, a week?
>:(

I don't know, it hasn't been a good day for me..

thank you so so much :')
mixed tape >

[and granted: I did tear up on the bus when I plugged in my headphones and listened to the songs]
(sidenote: chiling = an emotional person)
(sidenote 2: I should really learn how to express myself without unintentionally offending people)
(sidenote 3: i shall post about my big surprise from my females on Sunday)


  If we only live once, I wanna live with you

-[chi ling]-
do you even know how much you mean to me?

cause my hope is diminishing, just like the light in front of me

reading about my babe's post about wanderlust made me go "HELL YEA I FEEL YOU GIRL"

music is one of the only things that is keeping me going right now
