Delightful Tuesday

I'm here with another update! Woke up early today, (yes I consider 9 pretty early and I should probably kick this bad habit of sleeping so late) and went to the library with Si Rui to get some homework done. It wasn't really that bad, just that I kept getting distracted by this game that I just downloaded yesterday which is pretty lame but cute.

My very own Ponyville!

Had lunch, walked around the mall and chatted a bit. And then we finally got to watch Pitch Perfect! It's something like Glee, but it's really aca-humorous. No really, it's very entertaining and funny, and great esp if you like music! :-)

These are some random pictures taken today.

Yes I look really unglam but it's okay (whatever). 

Brought Boy for grooming yesterday (finally!!!). Look how obedient he is.

Bought Boy an early Christmas gift! He loves it. When he knew it was his, he kept jumping around and he doesn't want to give me his toy. So annoying.

So this is just a short post. I'm having a headache right now. Goodbye ♥

Stripes today.

TGIF

Had my Chemistry retest on Friday. It was easier than the EOY's, but I don't have enough confidence that I'll get an A or a B. Okay, truth is I've always been doing really badly for Science, it's just not my forte. It seems very complexed. Anyway I shall make the effort to improve my Chemistry and Physics during this holiday.

Well, I was being really careless and stupid. Si Rui and I decided on watching Pitch Perfect at Jcube, the movie tickets were sold out by the time it has started. So we went to Jurong Point, but Golden Village in JP doesn't show Pitch Perfect. Okay, I was probably having illusions or my eyes were playing tricks on me. I don't know how I saw Son Of Sardar as Pitch Perfect. Please don't criticize me haha oh my gosh. 

Headed to Lucky Dessert after lunch, which specializes in HK desserts. I guess the shop just opened, and the workers were not there yet. So we stood outside the shop, waiting to be seated. And the waiter was like standing inside the shop, without saying a word or anything. So we continued waiting. Oh my gosh it was so awkward. And then he finally asked whether we wanted to sit. Obviously we wanted a seat, how can we possibly stand while eating dessert? We ordered some mango dessert, but it was unavailable, so we walked out of the shop and went to Starbucks! It was my first time ordering my own cup of Starbucks coffee/latte. I ordered the toffee nut latte. I think it's a new type of latte they're promoting.

It tasted a bit bitter. But oh well.

And then Artbox! My favourite stationery shop. :-) 

Look at the balloons they displayed at the front of the shop.  

I ended up getting this notebook, because I wanted to write my family meal recipes. It sounds a bit silly and old-fashioned but hey, I really want to know how to cook more than a bowl of maggie noodles. 

And I'll be updating you with more X Factor news! 

Jennel Garcia ♥

So Jennel Garcia and Lyric 145 got eliminated this week. And I'm really unsatisfied with the results. Why didn't America voted more for Jennel when she's so talented and appealing on stage (okay I'm referring to her first 2 auditions, not her live shows)? I think Arin should've gotten sent home instead. Just so disappointed because Jennel is one of my favourite acts and she deserves to be on the show. And I'm quite sure that either Tate or Carly will win the X Factor. And guess what, I think I've been watching too much X Factor lately that I even dreamt of Camila Cabello from Fifth Harmony! So odd.

I'll miss you, Jennel. :-(

So that's all. I'll be baking mini apple crumble tarts tomorrow with my dad! :-)

Goodbye.

Picnic at the beach

I haven't been productive lately. Possibly because it's the holidays right now, but I've to return to school for one more week for Step Up Programme. Feeling dreadful as ever. But not till the extend where I actually stay at home behind the computer screen all day.

Guess where I went on Friday? (I didn't play truant, haha. There was AYE for selected pupils and there wasn't school for the rest.)

Sentosa!

First thing Si Rui and I did when we reached there - buy Skyline and Luge tickets!

It was $20 for a package of 3 rounds of skyline and luge each. It was my first time trying this activity. I have a fear of heights, so I ended up squeezing Si Rui's hand on the skyline. It was pretty high up, but it was a short "ride", and there wasn't really any scenic view of Sentosa, just trees and more trees. The luge was a go-cart action ride, and it was much better than the skyline. And Si Rui's cart kept screeching on the last round. 

We then headed to Siloso beach for our picnic. We were lucky that it didn't rain, the weather was a little warm, but breezy too - that's cos' we found shade under the palm trees. 

Aw my mum specially woke up to help me with the grilled ham and cheese sandwiches. ♥

Okay, it looks pathetic but we were full!

We just sat on the picnic mat, and talked a bit, ate, and dipped our feet in the cool water. Ah, the simple pleasures of life. :-)

And I woke up at 5:10 A.M. today for Project Happy Feet. It's a non-profit organisation which helps underprivileged students in Singapore, Cambodia etc. :-) Best way to start off the day - I was late for almost half an hour! Actually I wouldn't be if I hadn't overslept on the bus. Missed around 6-7 bus-stops (I have never been so careless) and waited for the bus to go to school. A few more people were late, including Si Rui. Phew, Mr Ho was still there. 

On the way to East Coast Park. 

Happy Feet participant 7752

We had to pay $35 to participate and wear slippers for this "race" and walk 4 km to understand how it's like to walk a long distance without proper footwear everyday to school. It was like literally walking in their shoes. And I'm glad that we participated because I'm sure the needy people really do benefit from this organisation. :-)

Beautiful scenery while we were walking.

Many people turned up for this event. And they gave free helium balloons! Yay

Tied the string to Boy's arm, he looks so cute. He kept staring at the balloon lol.

Boy on a picnic mat.

Tried the new KFC rice. It was just pieces of deep-fried chicken with rice and mushroom sauce. But it was tasty. :-D I guess that's all for now. And I wanna share with you this super nice snack (my vocab sucks) which I'm in love with.

It's a crunchy almond snack - Nougat from Australia

I've also been watching all of X Factor's episodes and I was really disappointed with the judges' decisions. I thought Diamond White should have stayed, and David Correy would be a possible winner but LA sent him home. To make things worse, Demi changed the young adults' styles so much. I was really upset with Jennel Garcia's new look and song choice. I miss her curly hair, and her hair flipping and being confident and so appealing on stage. Where did that go? And Paige Thomas looked absolutely ridiculous with the spiked hairpiece. It looked like a sea urchin to me hahaha - such a distraction. Why is Demi focusing so much on their appearances when it's the true talent that counts? I think Simon Cowell is the best judge and mentor because of his many years of experience while Demi just got popular recently and she is only 20! I know age doesn't matter but she doesn't seem professional. The way she flirts with Emblem 3, lol. Why can't people see that they appear cocky and the fact that they talked bad about another contestant during the auditions really bothers me. Unsatisfied with X factor.

Okay, I'm done with my rant. Goodbye. 

What a hectic day

Today is a tiring and unlucky day. I just felt really exhausted from walking so much, I think I lost 1-2 kg. Si Rui and I met up at Jurong East MRT to go to Fort Canning Park for cca. We were actually half an hour early when we reached Dhoby Ghaut MRT, and we were walking around asking many people for directions but to no avail, we were lost - we couldn't find that particular bus-stop at the main entrance of the park where everyone was supposed to meet. We ended up finding them in Fort Canning and were 1 hour late. Guilty us. 

This was where we were stuck at. 

I felt really tired in the afternoon and I kept yawning, I've no idea why. But we had lunch at Bugis and there was this group of aunties who kept staring at us. So weird and awkward. Shouldn't have sat near them.

Pepper lunch and a refreshing cup of watermelon juice!

Food always makes me happy. I didn't feel so tired after lunch. Food cures!

We also went to Cotton On and I got this!

                                       

Wanted this, but it was too expensive. :-(

Headed to Bugis Street and it was crowded - okay, quite expected. Couldn't really find anything that really caught my eye. (I'm not that picky, am I?) Actually I've to admit that I was short of cash. I wanted a high waisted shorts which fit me perfectly but I did not have enough money. How disappointing and embarrassing. We ended up getting out of the shop telling the shop owner we would look around before coming back. But we never did. :'-(

I actually thought of getting a tribal pattern sleeveless top but I ended up buying this. It's nice too.

Okay, I'm so random. But this is what Bugis mall (?) looks like.

Thought there was a direct bus which I could take back home or one that stops at Bukit Timah, but no! (Ryan Higa imitation) I ended up taking the MRT. Okay maybe it wasn't that bad, but there was this noisy secondary school guy wearing a Calvin Klein belt with his school uniform who was getting on my nerves.

So that was how my day went.

                                         

 Oh I just wanted to show you that this traffic light button at Bugis is so special.

Goodbye!

A day out

It has been long since I've last updated. I've a reason! Actually, why must I give an explanation. Hm, so my end-of-year exams have ended today. Physics was a killer, I tell ya'! And I don't know what to say, because the other papers weren't easy at all. I'll be receiving my results next Monday, all the best to me. :-(

I didn't geta chance to update regularly, so the thing is Si Rui and I went to see Prince William and Kate Middleton a month ago at the Rainbow Centre, which is within walking distance from my school! We stayed back for lumch specifically to catch a glimpse of them! And waited for like 30 minutes or so, I forgot.

In fact, the picture isn't clear 'cause we weren't close to them! Many secondary school students were present lol. I still have the British flag kept with me. -memories-

As I've mentioned earlier, I've been busy this month so we only got to have our well-deserved lunch/brunch after our last paper today! Jcube, again. We are always looking at the directory for at least 10 minutes every single time we visit a mall to decide what we should have for lunch. Not surprising at all. ;-)

It has become a habit to snap a picture of what my meal is (if it looks good, that is) and I think it's pretty lame but I still do it. OK, so this was what I had at Chili's.


Chicken crispers with caesar salad.

Look at the menu at the back! It seems like I'm having root beer, lol.

A waiter was walking by our table and I could feel him looking at us or rather, what we were doing. And he came over when Si Rui was trying to snap a photo of the movie tickets and he was asking us which movie we were going to watch. He told us that Taken was good, and recommended Ted. Haha, he was friendly though. But the short conversation was awkward.

                                       

Well, Taken 2 isn't a movie that I would recommend because I'm actually not interested in films which contain violence or horror. And I was quite scared initially because of all the violence (I was covering my ears and closed my eyes at certain parts of the movie), but I felt neutral in the end as he killed so many people - just to rescue his ex-wife and daughter. They are also human! And he treated them like they were nothing. Oh what a hero.

So let me give you a brief summary of what Taken is really about! *Spoiler alert!*
Taken: Bryan Mill's daughter, Kim was kidnapped. And he killed the kidnapper. Simple huh.
Taken 2: The group of kidnappers took hostage of Bryan's family as the previous kidnapper's father swore to take revenge on him because he killed his son, and Bryan eventually rescued them.
Taken 3 (my prediction which will most likely happen): The other son of the father (whom I don't what his name is) will try to seek revenge on Bryan. And Bryan ends up killing him. And this will continue for generations to come! How exciting! The end.

We also visited a bookshop which sells many varieties of books and novels!

I would like these books written by Nicholas Sparks please. Esp the notebook! Really touching story.

Till then.

Hi September

Hi it's 1st September. I'm actually really tired now, but I refuse to sleep. I mean it's only a 1 week holiday, and I'm loaded with so many assignments! Not to mention I've to attend a course in Singapore Polytechnic next Thursday and Friday.

These two weeks after the common tests were crappy, I mean I was so busy, I didn't really have the time to do the things that I like doing. And I spent my whole night on Tumblr. I've deleted all my old posts, and I don't know if it's the right choice. Oh well, it's already done. And I've updated new ones and changed my theme! It's really simple but I'm lovin' it.

Sheryl's Tumblr

I've also received my common test results, and I've improved but it's not up to standard. And I know I've to put more effort and I will.

I'm exhausted, I don't know what to say. Mm so this is Boy, he is almost turning 4 years old this month! He has brought a lot of joy into my life, and I'm really grateful that I have him. I mean without him, I would be so lonely, and yep dogs are literally man's best friend. :-) 

Dog in a box. He likes to sleep in there.

Oh, and one more thing to add before I shut the computer down. My blog has been around for 4 years! I love to blog. It is a place where I can vent out my frustrations and rant about anything. Thank you. Okay, I just thanked my blog lol, I'm so weird.

It's a short post, I know but bear with me! I notice that I seldom blog and one month only consist of 1-2 post(s).

Adios amigo!
