Today, I feel extremely loved and am filled with gratitude.

Thank you for rushing back from your class chalet after I started crying like a stupid kid at home because I couldn't took the pain. Thank you for buying me lunch and bringing me to the doctor's. And even offering to carry my bag though it's the most awkward thing you could ever do.

And above all, thank you for making me feel safe.

I have come to the point where I have unofficially graduated from SP. It's been a whole 3 years, doing countless tutorials, projects and presentations, studying for so so many tests and exams and now... time flies (or actually not, because during this 3 years, I / we have waited for this day for so long - from 36 months of school to now, 0) and it's time I'm going to leave SP. Truthfully speaking, it's more of excitement and anticipation rather than sadness.

Entering SP wasn't because I liked it. I've never knew how it looked like until I stepped into the school for the first time after posting results were out. But entering events was my 1st choice, which pretty much decided that I have to enter SP.

I was not excited for my first day or orientation / school (I still am not excited if I have to go back to school now). I made my first friend, Cherlyn, through Facebook. I still remember what I wore (and was proud that I had nice clothes to wear), when we had our first break together at FC2, meeting new friends outside and inside class, getting lost in ABE because of the rain. Oh gosh, we still do get lost in school after 3 years nonetheless.

Came new lecturers who scared us on our first day of school by telling us that Events is everything, but easy. And came pouring assignments which definitely made us all feel that we chose the wrong course. I remember feeling ridiculously homesick with my friends when in school, and telling mum that I wanted to change my course. But I guess all became better after a semester, though we never broke the habit of going home straight after school throughout all 3 years.

Naturally, days passed and finding clothes to wear became a chore. Trying to avoid repetitive clothes just resulted in atrocious fashion sense. Sigh what was I even thinking... Wanting to not wear slippers because it was "unsightly" and "disrespectful" just became too much of a bother.

CCAs were bothersome. They started late and ended late. Or started really early and didn't give me CCA points lol. Wanted to find something that interest me, but I guess I didn't really care after that. I just wanted to go home and sleep everyday, yupp.

Applying for Gems was never pleasant. They were scary and felt a whole lot like taking a roller coaster ride. Waking up early in the morning to camp in front of the computer, to see your desired elective being stolen by other idiots, sigh. And you had to settle for something you didn't want to, and struggle week after week, while being in a class full of unfamiliar faces and awkwardness. Those people never became your friends and you never ever see or talk to them around in school.

So, managing to finish my Dip Plus course is probably one of the few proud assets I have.

Other than that, I guess school was just coming for lessons, having lunch breaks, fooling around in class, sleeping in class, then taking a long train ride home.

Throughout the 3 years, our class wasn't really close and was really quiet, so we stuck to our own cliques most of the time. We've been through group politics, and ultimately the ones that stuck through with me were Bimchies ;)

Every school day, we'll meet, without fail at the Love Bridge, before we go to class together (other than times when Naz would be late lol). We did every single group project together, went for lunches together, did events together and celebrated birthdays together. I also had my first overseas trip with Cherlyn and Naz and it was mad fun. We ended each test and exam with celebratory meals, talked about stupid stuff and shared gossips. Together, we wrote new year wishes on white wishing balls which were thrown into the Singapore river. And we literally grew old(er) together.

Apart from my already very boring life in school, interestingly enough, I got to know the boyf. Yeah true enough people say I might have known him because he's my neighbour yada yada. But SP did play a part in creating chances for him to meet me (and vice versa) ^^ Otherwise, why would we not have met 10 years ago! So thank you SP for giving me a traveling partner to school and back, and letting me meet my boyf so at least I have some additional fond memories.

And other than that, I'm thankful for having to be in DEPM 02 for the past 3 years. We never did many things as a class, other than our few gatherings for site visits and an overseas KL trip. As much as we always have differing opinions, but I wouldn't imagine myself being in another class where I may not have fit in as well.

Sigh, look at how much older and different we've grown.

While poly hasn't been very fruitful and interesting, I still wouldn't have chosen the JC path back then. Despite everything, I've appreciated what I've learnt and truly gained a lot, I wouldn't really want to trade them for anything else.

There's so much more that I've done, so much more I've to say, but really, it's impossible to describe it all in one post.

So here's my SP life in a nutshell.

It's February, and Valentine's Day again!

2nd Year celebrating together ^^ and we both must be getting lazy cus we only managed to get a reservation 2 days before.

And lucky the boyf can drive, so we could go somewhere further since everywhere's fully booked / expensive, plus it's raining so we couldn't have a budget dinner and go picnic or go somewhere where we could walk to for dinner.

Had our dinner date at Bark Cafe, and we had the best seats in house, just right before the live band ^^

The queue was amazingly long, so good thing we made a reservation. And then we had good foooood! Yums.

Had a short date, since it's the midst of exams, as usual. But I guess it doesn't really matter since we meet every other day lol. Just that it's more special because I get flowers and a present and feel like a queen muahaha.

Love the boy so so much ♥

I'm so terrible I haven't done a single post for entire of January, but school has been really busy, I haven't got the time to do anything other other than to sleep.

But come to think of it, I haven't did anything significant since the year started, which also explains why there isn't a need to blog.

In short, I'm coming to my last week (or day) of school, before the tests and exams start, and it's really exciting because my poly life is finally coming to an end!!! Getting all prepped up for Graduation!!!

Some of my more interesting life events for the past month:

Satisfied brunch craving at Prive with boyf! My motive was to try their pancakes, but in the end... Glorious eggs benedict yums. I wouldn't mind going back there again and again cus thinking of that place makes me just happy. Oh, food.

've been revisiting Ice Cream Chefs again ever since Udders opened. Just went back again (after the 1st time with the girls) for the ice cream waffles as a reward to the boyf for finishing his FYP. So proud of him ;)

And just had Cheng's belated birthday dinner at Strictly Pancakes. And the best thing was the birthday girl didn't eat anything at all wth, while we all feasted in thick fat pancakes which was too much for all of us to handle *rubs tummy*

Even though our gatherings are getting smaller and smaller each time round, but still love these girls very much ♥

Oh and lastly, I finally drove for the first time after getting my license!!! Need to try to drive more before mum is willing to lend me the car!!!

Ok so for this entire month, I'm going to spend CNY studying for my last papers in SP. But I still hope I get lots of ang paos. Gimme gimme gimme! Bye!

Celebrated the boyfriend's birthday yesterday!!!

Brought him out for surprise dinner at Prive @ Keppel Island! Went there cus I thought it would be somewhere different, and I was kinda excited about it I hoped his birthday came earlier lol. And indeed, we had a good view for the night (also thankfully cus Prive reserved good seats for us) ^^

Stupid boy giving stupid faces.

Introducing the types of boats:

1. Fast Boat

2. Big Boat

3. (Small) Boat that he can drive lol

Birthday boy instructed me to include the above 3 pictures and I have to do so cus he's the Boss~

And for dinner we had... ...

His Seafood Marinara Spaghetti, with prawns, squid (he didn't want the sotong) and mussels in a simple tomato and basil sauce. Interestingly, the spaghetti was served in a bowl. That's a first.

And my Moroccan Spiced Chicken, some awesome grilled chicken boneless chicken thigh marinated in a special spice rub served with rocket, grape sauce & a couscous tossed with red onions and red peppers. What a handful name. The grapes was nice lol.

To me, the portion was quite small, or maybe I was just hungry.

So I granted the birthday boy a piece of cake...

And he chose the New York Cheese Cake which was damn yums!!! That made dinner filling too~

Kinda enjoyed the food and the place so I'm definitely coming back for their brunch next time round!

Noms.

Ok, so I'm just gonna say... I bet the birthday boy enjoyed himself tremendously cus I treated him to dinner at such a nice place. And that I love him so this is the best present from me yay!

Last sem of school has started, 2 weeks ago. Graduation feels so close!!! Still remember counting down the number of months left till graduation when I was in Year 1 (36 months), now... I'm just technically 4 more months till I unofficially graduate! ^^

So after 8 months of not seeing ABE, my school has now become this:

Truly built environment.

No more emptier FC1, or yums yong tau foo.

Couple of things that have happened over the past 2 weeks:

Celebrated Pei Min's 19th Birthday with a cake! Also had sushi at Shin Tokyo after our site visit at Archifest. But the service was so meh, and the sushi wasn't fantastic. We only had a few varieties, they only made newer varieties when we were about to leave :(

Playing at the swing @ Archifest lol

Then came the long weekend, really spent some quality time with people :)

Went for the Wedding Dress Exhibition @ National Museum with the boy, since it was free admission.

But frankly speaking, it was quite a letdown. The more I looked, the more they looked like curtains. I don't know how to appreciate old Victorian style dresses.

Then we took a long walk to Fort Canning Park to try the cakes @ The Fabulous Baker Boy. Got to know about them during site visit at Archifest,

Got to chill over red velvet cake, latte and iced tea yums. Cake was little pricey, but yums. The iced tea was nice tooooo.

♥

Celebrated Diana's birthday on Saturday! She sprained her ankle, so we gave her a surprise at her doorstep!!

And... I did my (last) NAPFA in school!!!

Gosh totally aching right now. And I found out I got a bronze just because of my 2.4km ~.~ meh.

But so proud of my classmates and myself for completing everything!!! Now to endure the muscle aches...

Alright... will be back in a couple of weeks time!

Very exciting post (to me) to share!!!

Went for my first ever trip to USS with the boy yesterday!!! YAY!!!

I know I very suaku, open so long already, and I only went there for the first time yesterday, and this is excluding the time I went to Hollywood after Hours last New Year.

Woke up really early to meet the boy so that I could be there as early as possible, and we reached at 10.30am lol. And we definitely went on a perfect day, it being a weekday and a Tuesday, the entire theme park was considerably empty!!!

Woohooooooo our ticketsssssss

My tour guide for the day ♥

Don't know why he's looking so serious... when we were just following the path hahahahaha

I insisted on doing calming rides first because I wasn't ready for any thrill YET. So we went to on a crate adventure and see Madagascar!

Watched Donkey Live and Shrek 4-D, and here's my future home ^^

Love this pictureeeee

Then we came to Jurassic Park and I was happy cus I could finally take my water ride!!! I've been seeing the advertisement on TV, I wanna take it so bad! But the boy insisted that I will get wet, and I had no "protective gear" so we couldn't go and I was sad :(

So instead we went to the stupid canopy flyer omg hate it hate it. It started flying, I thought it was supposed to be slow and I screamed like an idiot. It's supposed to let you see a bird's eye view of everything, shouldn't it be slow and crawling??? And I couldn't scream loudly cus I thought it'll be embarrassing in case people heard me.

Then after that, the boy said we'll go for the water ride cus he said he'll buy me a poncho yay!!!!!!

But... the stupid vending machine inside wasn't cooperating and refuses to eat the money nor dispense any ponchos so we had to go on the ride without one. Until... the boy went to ask an auntie who just came back from her ride if we could buy her poncho, and she gave it to me for free! Omg so nice of her!!! But we threw the poncho away after that. Ultimate regret! Cus I forgot that we may go on the ride again, or at least bring home something from USS!!! Oh well...

But who knew... I ended up sitting in the middle and I could be totally dry. LOL the one who's totally wet is:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

But but they have drying pods to dry you at a hefty price of $5 whut, I wonder why people pay for it. Not like it's gonna make you smell nicer after being splashed by smelly water (omg it really stinks) and the sun's scorching hot, you will be dry in no moment for free!

YAY fun ride fun ride!!

Egypt egypt egypt! Went on a treasure hunt jeep ride to dry the boy up!

hahaha my mustache man staring at an invisible man

And it was time for the mummy ride!!! Omg I was freaking out and thinking what the hell I was doing my life to scare myself like this. Apparently some ang moh also injured his neck from the ride o.o

Also there was not much crowd in the entire USS, we practically didn't have to queue for all the rides. We just weaved through all the queuing lines, get on the ride and get zoomed away. No time to prepare myself!!!

Shut my eyes and screamed really loudly ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, the stupid boy said his ears hurt wth.

So we caught some street dance performance to chill~~~

Then... Transformers' ride!!!

Once again, no queue!!! What a surprise!!! Totally empty!

Never watched transformers so I didn't know who the characters are, or what they were doing. Just a bunch of metal hitting each other hahahaha. Still love Japan's Spiderman one the most!!!

Had churros, and chilled somewhere cus I wasn't feeling so good after the Mummy ride @.@

And we realised it was kinda early, we sort of finished touring all the areas in 4 hours!

Then... it was timeeeee for Battlestar Galactica...

Okay, confession to make: I wasn't exactly VERY exctied before coming to USS cus I was contemplating for a long time whether I should take the Battlestar Galactica. Truth be told, I haven't exactly taken a roller coaster ride in my entire 19 years of life because I have no guts and I'm scared of flying in the air at high speeds (other than an aeroplane, that is).

After thinking for a long time, I decided I'll go for the Human ride so that I make my money worth. I watched and observed many times how the stupid ride goes before I went on it, so to be sure that I won't get a heart attack later on lol. I sound so stupid.

I kept hugging the boy before the ride, and also secretly hating him inside for making me do this and told him not to talk to me hahahahaha. Good thing the entire row only had the 2 of us, because I know I screamed really loudly AHHHHHHHHHH.

Had to nomz after that cus I was finally feeling hungry after 1 whole day and this few pieces of chicken fingers is soooo expensive, but tasted so good ^^

Caught the WaterWorld Show pewpewpew~

And... guess what.

I decided to be courageous again...

And went for the Human ride the second time lolol. I already told myself I'm never going for the Cylon ride and the boy can go take it by himself all he wants, and enter the single rider lane lol #emo

So we both went for the ride again... This time feeling not so scared anymore~

But I still screamed really loudly hahahaha. There were a bunch of kids behind me, I thought they will scream with me, but they didn't. So I guess I was the only one screaming throughout the entire ride. I should get Best Screamer Award.

~.~

The best thing was that I saw a flash from somewhere during the ride and thought it was lightning so I screamed "GOT LIGHTNING" and went back to screaming. Until the boy told me the flash was from the camera lololololol #stupid #bimbo

Here's me with my photo of achievement lolol

Done with all the rides, so we walked around, caught shows, enter all the shops to squeeze the soft toys and gasp at price tags, so that we can maximise very single minute till they close lol.

Hi, meet my prince charming hahahahaha ♥
