Cherelle's 21st @ Studio M

Finally have had the time to sit down and blog properly. Exams are over yo!

Checked into the hotel early with cherelle, candy and sunny to prepare the decorations and stuff. Eric was super creative, he came up with so many ideas/materials for the party! The room was super gorgeous, decorated with fairy lights, balloons and candles.

Playing around before the rest of them arrived! Was super funny trying to doll up cherelle lol she is so fidgety she kept laughing all the time!

The rest all came and we ate, blasted music, played saboteur and laughed all night. It was super nice to have all your good friends surrounding you and to feel so comfortable with one another! :)While Cherelle went out to fetch her bf in, we surprised her by singing the birthday song when she got back!~

Oh not to forget we took a lot of group photos! Cherelle was looking at the photos the other day and she was complaining that i was holding this red cup in a lot of the shots. I didnt even realise LOL

 There, the red cup. There was a 'scandalous' shot though but im not gonna upload it. LOL inside joke. Why did i sit so close to the camera my head damn big la!

 Super love this shot because its super candid and super funny as well. Yeah we were having childish balloon fights and some of us girls dont really like balloons!

 Someone threw a balloon in a mid shot. (Was it me?)

 Overall i feel that it was fun and i feel warm in the heart knowing that i am still able to have fun and remain in contact with my secondary school friends i knew 6-17 years ago (minimum). Like seriously. I love my friends! I hope cherelle had a memorable one. I think she must have, due to a little hiccup the next day, right cherelle? But glad that everything still turned out alright in the end.

I guess this marks the end of me celebrating 21st parties this year (in a way). So glad that i am able to cross this milestone of mine with these people. :)

Time

Time. I am always very interested and marveled by the concept of Time. It exists everywhere, all the time. But the relativity of it is different according to different people, things, situations.

A minute can be perceived differently; a droning 60 seconds during a mundane lesson, or a critical moment during a life and death situation. Isn't it so interesting when the concept of time changes according to one's emotions or perception of situation?

I love talking about it with my sisters, discussing it, watching related movies (Back to the future etc). During my internship where i had spare capacity I googled about it - Grandfather/Time Paradoxes, how to go back in time, relativity of time - All the quantum physics stuff. I love to read about it but unfortunately I am definitely not an expert on it.

Time slips by, and every second is never the same as the next. Everyone knows that we have to cherish what we have lah blah blah but how many people actually LOOK and REALISE how apparent it is around us everyday? Looking at a very critical POV would shock you and make you in awe at the same time.

In a very broad perspective, no one ever realises the change Time brings to us until we look at it retrospectively in our lives.

Time is something given and we have to accept. I feel that it is the ultimate commodity. To ourselves at least. (Etc 'Are you willing to do XXXX in exchange of XXX years/months of your time?)

I think the most amazing thing about it is that you never know when your Time ends. It feels infinite in your youth, ending in your old age. Time gives you restriction yet freedom within. Wow.

I asked myself today 'What do you want to do for the rest of your life?'

I'm not sure, but I know that I'd rather spend my time thinking about it and doing it right than to waste my life doing something stupid.

There was a pair of sunglasses in my study table so..

Sorry for the narcissism....

Okay scratch that I'm not sorry at all lol! What cannot meh.

Tingwen's 21st!

Attended Tingwen's 21st at Aranda Country Club yesterday!

Yes the decorations were fab - balloons, lights, banners, confetti, the works.

Wore my new slippers i bought this week from H&M! It was on sale, from original 40$ to 15$, what a steal!

Her cake, all colourful and it was black forest. The cake was as tasty as it looks :) 

 

Saw Xiu Hui and took a photo with her. Chatted with her for a bit, she's still as nice as ever. Hope she does well in NTU :)

With the birthday girl + Xiu Hui!

With Reb + TW

SIP Interns! With Hengchang + Soonmeng

Was looking for a place to chill and catch up with Reb so we went to Aranda's lobby and found a quaint little space to hang out for a while. Was nice to laugh and talk. Every time we hang out things never fail to go wrong - Alight at wrong stations, walk wrongly. But all we did was to laugh it off and had fun! It always helps to make the day a bit more fun and funnier.

Her iPhone camera is super clear compared to mine, and its just 4s. Dammit.

Yes she's the first person to disable my phone. She saw my PW and was proudly telling me that my PW is so easy! In the end you see what happen lah you see this girl.

I saw one of TW's friends posing with the balloons and both XH and me was like 'ohhh i wanna take photo with the balloons too!' There you go lol

The whole time while waiting to take photos with the busy birthday girl, I was trying to get as much confetti stuck on my leg as possible. Reb was laughing with me the whole time.

Before we left, we took polaroids with TW and she gave to everyone of her guests before they leave - how sweet!

I hope she likes our present and that she enjoyed her 21st! I had fun too :):)

I don't know what to do with myself

I'm here because I feel like a scrambled puzzle. I don't know what constitutes me anymore.. I don't know.

Things that I'm good at.. it doesn't come as easy anymore. It's like reminding myself to move one foot ahead each time and it feels so conscious and unnatural. No motivation, no consistency.

Then I become bad. I think it's because I'm getting greedy with what I have. You never know you changed until someone sees it for you. I need a wash inside out, I'm a mess, I'm toxic.

I want things to be looking up, and I believe good things are waiting for me in the next corner. I know it will, because I'm here. It's slow, but definitely a start. Baby steps, baby steps.

I'm gonna write. Write more, reflect more, wiser up more.

Try

Where there is desire
There is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame
Someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns
Doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try

In Your Own Time

In your own time
There's no map to guide our way
So I say nothing, you say nothing
In your own way
Thought I could help you find your place
But I'm as lost as you are lost these days

Things are going to change, you know
The battles you have fought won't go to waste, you know
The things are gonna change,
It just takes time
