GUESS WHO FINISHED HER EXAMS?!?!?!


MEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEME!


#fyeahhh


3 weeks, and I conquered 7 papers!!!


August has been a sad month of studying and camping at macs almost everyday with the boy (omg so sick of it now). Invested a lot of cash in macs, especially mccafe omg my money. At least now it's all over, I don't have to think of what and where to eat for breakfast omg thank god. Please understand my huge sense of relief as seen from my 3 "omg"s in this paragraph.
(Just re-read my paragraph and it's extremely incoherent but I have no other way I want to phrase it)


Anyway, to celebrate this very joyous occasion, and as usual... there must be food!


Seoul Garden with the girls after the paper!!!


(epic scenario of everyone leaving the exam room after 1 hour, so we reached City Square Mall even before the exam was supposed to end, trolololol)


So... yay to food!




I don't know if we really ate a lot. Didn't seem that much but ok, still damn filling.

And...



Surprise for the day!!!



Surprise birthday celebration for Cherlyn!



The cake's damn cute, love it! (doesn't taste that nice, I suppose, but ah, appearance matters)


HAHAHA the very happy girl.


Group photo of all of us in our baggy shirt (LOL to contain our bulging stomachs #standard)



And classic photo moments.


Made the remaining payment for our Malaysia trip and we're all good to go! YAY! Going to be an exciting 2 weeks to comeeee ^^



So that means more blog posts and photos and dramas here I comeeeeeeeee!

Got a short break before the next paper, and I've kinda decided that I'm not going to touch my books for today.

Which means I'm kinda bored now, so I think I will do a random post.

20 funny / crazy / mad / boring facts about me!

1. Let's start simple.

I'm Shermin. My Chinese name is Qi Qi, 琪琪.
My name was supposed to be shi min (omg sounds so awful, thank god mum didn't name me that). So my English name was a direct translation from that.

.

2. I'm a very clumsy person.

At 18, I still drop my food (always and forever), still knock into things, even though they are right in front of me.

Which leads me to the third point...

.

3. I can't cook.
If you follow me on twitter, you would have known that I burnt my baked potato while using the microwave to heat it up. I have no interest in cooking or whatsoever. I THOUGHT of baking, oh, dead and gone. Never got started and don't think I will. I can't be a homemaker.

.

4. But I love eating.
Who doesn't, seriously? But I believe that food is what brings people together lol. I meet my friends to eat most of the time. I didn't really care about going around to try new foods last time, but I think the popular girls have since made me a food glutton.

I stalk ladyironchef's blog sometimes and write down cool places to eat at. I'm slowly striking them off my list ;)

Places with good ambiance attracts me a lot.

Ah yes, but I'm also a fussy eater. And I eat more greens than meat :)

.

5. I'm skinny.
Ok, now I'm a lot better than last time. But yay to high metabolism rate, cos at the rate I eat, and the amount of time I spend sleeping, I think I should be a fat girl by nature :D Teeheeeeee.

.

6. I'm lazy.
HAHAHA ok I'm lazy to the extent that I will stop eating, not because I'm full, but because I'm lazy to chew :P

A corner of my room is definitely in a mess. I DO pack my room (whenever I feel like it), but after a few days, it gets messy again (LOL). This is the same as my tv console. Mum always nags me to pack it, but... I prefer to leave things around at my own convenience. I think going to the room, opening the drawers to get my things are a chore.

I do not know where I get this gene from. Apparently, my parents are both neat people :O

I'm an individual myself :D

.

7. I have never taken a roller coaster in my entire 18 years of life.
I admit, I have no guts.

I can take thrills like slides from a 10 storey high level down, but not a roller coaster.

I always grab on to mum for dear life.

I promise, I'll try one ride on my Genting trip this time round.

.


8. I HATE snakes. Like really really afraid of them.

Nobody knows how I got this phobia from.

They are just gross, disgusting and eeeeeeeeeeew.

I'm so scared of them it's not even funny. Kay 'nuff said.

.

9. I LOVE Taiwan.
I love taiwanese dramas, I love Mike He, and I love Taiwan's food, and I always say I want to try staying there for maybe a year.

I've been there twice, but I'll never get enough of it. I get very excited when people talk about Taiwan. Mum thinks I'm crazy. She says I don't know Taiwan enough (their history, politics, culture) to even qualify to say I like it. It's all the social media.

I used to think about marrying a Taiwanese guy (but apparently... they all... look kinda weird), so I've since aborted that thought.

Got kinda excited when I found out that my new aunt is a Taiwanese, but seems like I'll never be close to her, so forget about wanting to go there to find her.

.

10. I always seem very mean and fierce, but actually I cry very easily too.
Actually I'm mean, sometimes too hot tempered and impatient for my own good. One of the most significant change of growing up, cos I definitely wasn't like this in the past.

But if anyone openly scolds me, I actually will feel scared and cry. HAHAHA. I'm scared when mum scolds me, I'm scared when I do something wrong. So that means that... there's still a very young small little girl within me :)

.

11. I blush very easily.
I don't blush only when I'm shy. I blush when I laugh really hard. And it's not difficult to do that.

.

12. I'm a very anti-social person at home. I don't hang around with cousins. I never play with them, rarely talk to them, much less go out with them. I think I found it amazing when I see my friends go out with their cousins. I only hang out with my friends! :O My cousins are close to each other, but not me. #foreveralone

I stick with the adults, and just sit there quietly, all to myself for a few hours.

.

13. I'm not vain.

I don't think this is a good thing HAHAHA.

Wait, this doesn't mean that I'm sloppy. It just means... I'm not all into fashion and expensive clothes. I don't do cosmetics, maybe the only thing I indulge in is nail polish.

I used to hate combing my hair.

I shop for cheap stuff, especially cheap shoes trololololol. I see the price more than anything else, tyvm.

I bargain whenever I can. Cheap thrill cheap thrill.

.

14. I'm a major IT idiot. I think I'm smart enough to know how to use my handphone and my com. YAY.

.

15. I like walking alone in the dark, when it's all quiet.
Then I start imagining myself getting robbed, getting killed, or getting pulled away to somewhere and...
I just walk slowly and look at stuff.

.

16. I not very comfortable with change. I don't like to throw things away, especially old clothes and shoes. But that also doesn't mean that I'm treasure my stuff a lot. Normally, I just pack them away and leave them somewhere lying, forgotten. I'm weird and bad like that.

.

17. I think I'm slightly deaf. I don't like phone calls, cos I tend to make people repeat what they just said many many times, and I can still not understand. Phone calls can cause me distress. HAHAHA.

.

18. I used to be very talkative. So bad, till my ah ma tapes my mouth. :(
I still am talkative, and sometimes I talk without thinking so I hate it when I do that. Bleah. Now, I just try to remind myself to think think think before I speak, or just try to shut up (though sometimes it just fails).

.

19. I'm going to go take a nap now. I always think that when I grow up, I will regret sleeping so much now. I think I'm such a boring person. I think I'm just wasting my life.

.

20. I wrote this because I read Shiberty's blog, so I thought I can just come up with random things to talk about. I think more than half of what I just typed isn't new to everyone, but I think that's all I can think about.

BYE!

Hi yes, I'm back from supper again!!!

For the 2nd Saturday consecutively... I'm having late night supper outside.

And this time... at Bedok 85!

Very happy cos I got steady supper khakis - Gwee and Tay heh heh. Love love love them!

omgomgomgomgomgomgomg finally got to satisfy my bak chor mee craving. The last time I went there was March?! It's been too long... too long...

Plus chicken wings and satays and sugarcane. Only missing carrot cake from my to-eat list. But shiok enought (Y)

Didn't stay to lepak this time round like last week (LOL) so we all caught the last bus home. Very good timing tonight - from meeting Tay on the bus (coincidentally), getting a table relatively fast (I don't know if I stole it from a guy, but idc), didn't have to wait long for bak chor mee and catching the last bus homeeee.


Yay now I'm full and satisfied.

And for the first time, I took 14 and walked home from Tanjong Rhu, plus it was past midnight. Was contemplating to walk the long way home but I was plain lazy. So I walked by the canal and thank god for street lamps cos if I got robbed (oh my G12) I will slap myself.

Until the point where there wasn't anymore lights and I just freaked out cos there's this weird guy sitting by the canal, so I thought if he ran after me, I would have died or something.

Okay thrilling experience, though I thought I could have made it home by the side gate, okay meh, I still went in by the main gate #wisedecision.

-

Whatever it is, I still have 4 more papers and I'm so sick of studying. Cannot wait till it's all over cos I really really want to go shopping and watch dramas and lepak.

Holidays, please come soon :)

3.30 in the morning right now, and I just came back from supper at Simpang with Gwee, Manda, Zhen Lu, Daanish and Azmin!
Like an awesome only.


Supposed to meet at 1045pm but ended up meeting an hour later LOL.

Ordered a table full of food, too much for us to finish, so much went wasted too.

Mee goreng + pratas + chesse fries + roti john + satays + chicken chop + kway teow. Ahhh I miss my bandung alreadyyyy.

Ended up sitting at Simpang till 2.30am? Good times good times when we can just sit there and talk rubbish.

Should have just ton the entire night out but I think mum would freak out. Oh well, next time then.

Times like that just make me hope that exams can go bang the wall or something. I just want to play :(

My progress for studying is going nowhere, I think I'm supposed to panic.

Losing my consciousness soon, goodnight!!!

Guess what's all these pretty looking food?

Awwww yeahhhh.

DURIAN BUFFET WITH CHERLYN AND PEIMIN TODAY!!!

Like a mad excited only!!!

Can you imagine, all the pastries have durian in them?!?! TOTAL HEAVEN.

've been waiting for this day to come since 1 week ago, sooooo happy omg.

We 3 act like Tai Tais going for High Tea at Carlton Hotel.
Epic fail only.

Let me explain...


Before that... Look at this. Omg. Durian filling. Omnomnomnomnomz.

So we had flying crumbs, a macaroon that collapsed, dropping food, and falling cream that ended up squashed.
*face palm*

And we wondered why people could still gracefully eat with their fork and knife machiam eating western food.

Ain't you supposed to use your hands to eat durian?!?!

Guess those are the true blue Tai Tais.

I belong to the roadside eating durian.



Trying everything else...

Frankly speaking, other than the durian, the pastry itself didn't really taste that good.

Took a break from eating, and we studied the menu. The buffet's quite worth the money since we tried everything on the menu and it totaled up to almost $40. And we paid only $22 per person after discount.


Sick of having too much durian already, other fruits to the rescueeeee.

I told myself I cannot leave the place without trying the durian pengat. Well, the article recommended that durian lovers will have more than 1 bowl of this.

Errrr...

I only took a scoop for 3 to share. And we only took a few spoonfuls each.

Not that it's bad.

It's really rich, like really ALL durian. But... meh, overwhelmed with too much durian already.

Pity didn't get to try the ice cream. They had so many types of mix in. Ahhhh regretting now.

Didn't stay till the end of the high tea buffet, like how I thought I would (LOL).


We ended up travelling to Golden Mile Complex.

And I think some people just made me feel like a dumb kid or something -.-

When I confirmed with the bus uncle whether I needed to cross the road, he replied me, "ask you go over, of course must cross road right!"
Like WHATTTTTTTT. Fine lor.

And he very kindly asked us to alight at a stop where the traffic lights were so farrr away. Jaywalking somewhere near the highway was much of a cheap thrill. So exciting that when we got over to the other side of the road, we saw a sign - "Fatal accident".

Naise.

Urghhh and the guy whom I asked for travel rates (including room rates) think he very funny or something. Still can tell me, "of course got include room right. If not where you want to sleep?!"

:(

Anyway, if you're wondering why the hell I'm at Golden Mile, we girls are planning a trip to Malaysia after exams it's making me oh-so-eggcited I think I forget I have exams wth.
Haven't told Dad about it, but I really hope he will let me go. If he doesn't... *bang wall and die*

Okk feels good to be blogging. BYE.
