July 11 2012, Audrey Chen is officially 20! Met my bbgs today, except for Y who is enjoying her time at Mexico now #$%#$^#%#$% Waited for the road idiot W at the bus stop so that we can take the same bus, but in the end we still got separated by this old man who was sucking on an orange sweet cauuse W said she could smell and hear the uncle sucking on it lol and i can hear the sucking with my music on too omg. Then we went to the Taka food fest for my Putu Bamboo cause I was so excited I wnted to eat it so bad so Wei and i shared lol. Met S at 313 when we were done to go get A's present, a gift card/vouchers. As usual, R was late but we were 4 hungry girls so W, S, A and I went ahead to have our brunch/lunch at Hot Tomato! As usual, I'm the Budget queen so i never let any good/cheap deals slip my eye hahaha managed to see the students deal which has a few varieties to choose from together with a soup of the day and garlic bread and it's only at $9.50!!!!! So, we all had the deal lol. Ate a Sirloin Steak with Aglio Olio. I haven't ate a whole steak on my own before. Always had been sharing with Mr J, bit by bit. Didn't realise it was so filling haha. But the Aglio Olio damn little pleaseeeee. So after we were all done with lunch, R arrived and we went for impromptu movie-ing! Abraham Lincoln: the Vampire Hunter. Cathay provides free drinks nw also I don't know why! The person just said we can claim free drinks haha yay we were thirsty anyway ^^ Anyway the movie was damn exciting like cannot sit still one. W and S were like damn excited throughout lol and three of us were nudging and exclaiming to each other hahahah epic much. But really good, MUST WATCH. Then we wanted to get a cake for A but don't know where to go, so decided starbucks and we got her a Chocolate Molten Cake, with no candles lol. And she "cut" the cake with a fork and we all share hahaha. Quite yumz leh. Like a softer brownie. Camwhored as usual, talk cock sing songz then it was time to go home, cause A had family dinz.
Went to meet mumsie, and Em backed out last minute cause she forgot that she made plans w the grandmother. So mumsie and I went for some Phad Thai, my first time. Pretty awkz cause I totally don't know what's going on and mumsie keeps talking to people in the shop. So i decided to go see see in one of the boutiques, and I SAW A MAN IN ONLY HIS BOXERS AND TRYING ON DRESSES. FMLFMLFML i swear i looked for at least 5 seconds before it truly registered in my head and i left the shop to whisper in mumsie's ears. She laughed. EEEK!? Nothing much happened after that, went back home and here i am typing away. Pictures will be up after the girls send me cause it's either in their itouch/iphone or camera! ciaos xx

feel
Have you ever felt neglected, felt unloved, felt like you didn't matter? When you make a small request to a certain someone special, and yet you'd been turned down and made fun of with impractical excuses and ways to get you off their backs. When you want to do this thing that you deem as really speecial and you want to share it with that someone special and yet get turned down right in your face. When you have different viewpoints with a someone special and you try to make things work yet it seem to be wasted efforts. When you try to measure up to someone's expectations and wishes for the best of everything for the other, but yet what you're doing just seem dumb and childish and impractical. When you just needed company, when you're feeling all alone, when you feel stupid and foolish, all you needed was someone to be there, yet the one you want the most denied you of it, and instead, make you feel dumber, more foolish, and like a joke. When things gets so hard, when emotions get the better of you, yet you're treated like a crybaby, being crazy and forever coming up with nonsense and bullshit that the other had said to be tired of. When you want to just do something special, to just make the other an exclusive, yet you're said to be sticky, to not be able to be shake off. Have you ever felt this way? I did.

First of July
Spent the first day of July with Mr J, and we were like in food haven. Literally. We met at noon to have dim sum at Taste Paradise, which has ultra food service and quality food ^^ feasted like a king, once again and we nearly rolled out of the restaurant. Eeek. Then attempted to shop for J's items but FAIL. Nothing he fancies, so as Takashimaya is having it's annual food fest, we went to join in the fun hehe. Bought Strawberry Cheesecake and Moscato Gelato (its two different flavours) and we nomz at the corner of the food fest before going INTO the food fest to get more food hehe yumzzzz. OH AND DID I MENTION THAT THE INTERVAL BETWEEN DIMSUM AND ICE CREAM WAS LESS THAN AN HOUR?! ^(oo)^ after ice cream, J decided to let our mouth get warm after the ice cream before getting the super yummy tomyum at the fest, cause he says now mouth still cold from ice cream, shouldnt have something hot lol. But we mega lame. Walked around the fest like 1-2 rounds then went to get tomyum alr hahaha. kept asking each other "hungry not? want to get tomyum now?" "eh, ok la. you leh? hungry not? want to eat now?" then we got it in the end. J exclaimed that this was "ONE OF THE BEST" tom yum he ever had. They are super generous with the ingredients and its AUTHENTIC!!! Two thai auntys are the ones cooking all the thai food served. And they cook it on the spot, which makes it even better cause you eat it FRESH ONLY AT $5!!!! HEHEHE MY HO GAI XIAO BUAY PAI ONE WON'T GO WRONG ONE LEH. Heheheh. And we decided that we were mad full, we went to get coke cause there's always this mad craving for coke after tomyum we don't know why. But before that, we got my Putu Bamboo!!!! super yumz one i tell you! If i go back to the fest I'll buy and take pictures and post here hehe. That day just eat only, don't care. So we eat eat eat, then went back to the cosy area and snacked on Redondo, again. I'M REALLY A ^(oo)^ JIALAT. And after that, on our way home, we bought Macs nuggets meals to nomz again. hahahahhahaa.
Summary: Dim sum > Gelato > Tom yum > Putu Bamboo > MacDonalds. HEHE I'm so proud of us :B

happy 15th, my baby ♥
♥ HAPPY 15TH MONTH TO J AND I! ♥
Hi my dear boyfriend. You're in reservist now, and the time we get to talk on the phone had massively decreased, and i'm really sad but we have no choice. Just want to say happy 15th month and i'm really happy we're at our 15th month already YAY i'm so glad we pulled through all the mindless fights, quarrels and arguments(though they all mean roughly the same thing) even though they are always mostly revolving around the same things over and over again. i'm glad you chose to put up with all my nonsense, my mood swings and temper when i was still a very horrible person. i'm glad you chose to stay on even when times got really hard between us and the only options we seem to have was to give it all up. i'm thankful that you never saw giving us up as on option to consider and instead, you chose to fight for us. thank you for being so understanding towards me throughout these whole 15 months and the few months before we got together. thank you for believing in me, that i'll be a better person, that i'm not as bad as i always think i am. so many things changed in my life when i met you, and indefinitely it did for you too. but i'm really happy that it was all for the better, be it good times or bad. so proud of us to pull through for so long despite some shortcomings that we couldn't stand of each other. but that too, we managed to see pass it. so congratulations my dearest boy, we're proceeding to our next milestone! hehe. okay la i admit i'm such a crybaby i really wanted you to be with me because it feels so unsafe. but jiayou okay we can get through this whole reservist thing together though i can't hide inside your duffel bag or hide in the trees like we planned. i know by the time you see this it'll be like sunday, which is freaking 5 days later, but still, you have to read all these by hook or by crook by latest sunday see you on sunday!!!!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH YOU HAVE NO IDEA ♥ ♥ ♥

Mundane
Life has been so mundane, excluding the fact that J and I had been pretty well lately, no fights or whatever, so yay ^^ anything else, MEH. FYP has been rough, like really really rough, and it's totally not fun, especially when you need to do it all alone, with a partner not really treating it seriously. KILL ME PLEASE
So, I really goddamn intend to graduate this fucking semester, like seriously. So i need to pull my socks all the way up to my head I don't give a damn. Supz has been especially nice ever since the last review, trying ways and means to keep us still floating, and not dying. But the main thing is, I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT THE SHIT ARE WE DOING mmmm. Another reason to be dead, but no. Not gonna succumb to NP and give them another semester of the elevated school fees. I always tell J that I'm very free, but actually I'm not. It seems like I have alot to finish, but everytime i just choose to nua. And when i can nua, i start doing things. Ugh wth is wrong with me. Anw, I saw this and I think it totally suits me. HAHA if i was a superhero, I'd be doing this instead (Y)
Except the fact that I will never have a Robert Pattinson poster in my room. Uh, damn weird. Been spending time doing pyssla bead designs and dreamcatchers for the fund raising, I'm neglecting my own funds haha. MY INCOME IS TOTALLY DEPLETING I NEED MONEY. Exams are just next week, and yet, I'm unprepared. Time to chiongz? Just needa get out of this fucking (although good but no more meaning ) school. CIAOS
ps. this is what I'm gonna do for the rest of my life :B

14 MONTHSARY ♥
HAPPY 14TH MONTHSARY (AND TWO DAYS) TO J AND I!!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
I) we totally led the lives of the royalty huahuahuahuahua. we eat, shop, eat, shop, eat, shop, eat. YES. That totally sums up our activities yesterday HEHE so, as usual, the king and I was late for our meetup. Said to meet at 12, at 1159, i was still at home LIKE A BOSS and he trolled me that he's already at Queenstown when he was still freaking at TAMPINES aka home. Thought I was gonna be late, but the king decided to really be king, and i waited for 30 minutes OH WELL WHAT'S NEW HEHEHE went to Queensway Shopping Centre, had yumyumz chix cutlet rice and laksa, then walked around looking for his soccer shoes. Hungry again, bought muah chee and tutu kueh hahahahah we're gluttons :B walk around again, and YAY A FANCY PUMA SHOES CAUGHT THE KING'S EYES! but...... NO SIZE (#@$@$%$%$@) so we walked around the whole sc, trying to find the exact shoe with his size, and turns out all same, NO STOCK. Then. Saw another pair of pretty shoes, but nt as pretty, to me la. Sama sama, BO SIZING AH SIMITAIJI AH QUEENSWAY?!?!? Oh, and did i mention we walked around just the level 1 of the sc for like 6 times, before finally settling on the pair that he bought. LOLOLOL.
II) Then J and I decided on going to Vivocity cause it's like the mall with so many goddamn things and we don't know where else to go, neither do we know where to settle for dinz. OH THE KING KENA PUNKD BY THE BUS DRIVER LOL. told us that we can't take that bus when we totally CAN. So the king was burnin' up, burnin' up (for me baby) at the bus stop with a line of @#%#$@$^$ LOL SO EPIC. And tadah, here we are, at Vivocity. Still clueless, we walked around and getting mad confused at the crowd there. MAD CROWD EVERYWHERE QUEUE QUEUE QUEUE. Giant? QUEUE. Watsons? QUEUE. Daiso? QUEUE. Toilet also QUEUE. Went to Pets Safari, and the toy poodles were just too cute i wanna kidnap can? *puss in boots eyessss* Went to Toys R Us after that, cause I wanted to get more colours/variety for my Perler beads. QUEUE LIKE MAD AND A LITTLE BOY KEPT STARING AT THE KING AND I. HMM OUR ROYALTY SPREADS ^^ Then, walked around to decide what to eat after, and saw what suits the day: FEAST LIKE A KING *HERE THE KING'S EYES LIT UP*
III) So, the restaurant we went to was called The King Louis Grill and Bar. And the lady said there was a live band, but there was only one guy with a guitar and singing. (idk why the king laughed so hard at this comment) HEHE and so we were really treated pretty nice, and were seated just beside the nicest view, with the sea and a glimpse of USS in the far end, with really enticing sofa seats. And here, my dear king decided to be smart and order a Knight's Platter(its niot called platter, but i can't remember the exact name), and additionally topped up 2 complete meals. So when the platter came, our jaws were like :ooooooooo cause we didn't expect it to be so damn BIG. It consists of 3 sticks of chix kebabs, 3 pieces of pork Grill, 3 pieces of Steak, a chicken chop, together with slices of fruits, a salad, baked potatoes and boiled vegs. NOT SURPRISINGLY, we didnt finish our food. Sort of died at half of chix chop, 2 pcs of pork grill, 3 steak and 2 kebabs, together with the fruits/boiled vegs and baked potatoes. I love the baked potatoes actually ^^ And after meal dessert was.... BEN AND JERRYS STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE ICE CREAM!!!! Please don't get me wrong. We didn't go and get extra ice cream. It came with the set meal. I was so ready to roll out of the Bar actually. becauseimlikeaball ^^ Anw, i would recommend you guys to go because it's pretty awesome, but please dont geh kiang go order a platter for 2-3pax and eat for just 2-3pax ah, SHARE THE LOVE CAUSE ITS REALLY MUCHHHHHHH. The ambience good, and a really nice place to chill/hold group gatherings!
IV) After dinz, the king and I had to go back because he had to rush project :'( but it was a wonderful day, which we ended on a wonderful note - a polaroid just in front of my lift HAHAHHAA OK NOT ROMANTIC AT ALL. forgot to pass him the gift i prepared because i forgot to bring it out, so he waited outside, and i went out to pass him. And typically, my curious grandma poked her head out of the door to see what i was doing outside and THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THE KING IS MEETING MY AHMA HEHE. ok this is not the wonderful note i was talking about OKAY. its.... KISS HEHEHE AND WE LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER END OF STORY. ^^

HIGH TEA YAY
It's Wednesday again! The usual spend-time-together-wednesday, so J and i decided to head out for some nomz session! Oh anyway, i tried cooking Krapow Moo, Thai basil leaves w minced meat, and it was like part of our mini lunch! hehe. Near to succeeding, except it was a little salty. BUT YAY I DID IT ^^ so we met up, eat my Krapow Moo in my new mini food container(I SWEAR ITS MAD CUTE BUT TOO SMALL TO BE REALLY FILLING) and some soupy kway teow, and also Ichigo, a strawberry flavoured steamed cake from Ion Orchard, before heading for a shopping spree for the boy! Not exactly a spree because he only got a shirt and a long sleeved top, but still, THE ITEMS WERE PRETTY GOOD STEALS ESPECIALLY THE LONG SLEEVED TOP FROM ZARA! I got myself a F21 dress too, super cute hehe. Also, we were trying to past time cause we were actually waiting for 3pm to have high tea BUFFET at Hyatt Hotel. BUT turns out that the place we wanted to go, Mezza Nine, was no longer serving high tea buffet. So we decided to head to Canele at Shaw House instead for some nomzzzz. LUCKY ME TOTALLY LEADING A TAI TAI LIFE, HAHA ONLY BECAUSE WE BOTH GOT OUR PAYS RECENTLY :D Canele isn't buffet style so we each had to order something to try. So i went with my all time favourite, DARK CHOCOLATE! ok, the name of the cake was Le Royale, but it has dark chocz so who cares hehe.J got a strawberry vainlla sponge, named Frasier and we each got a drink too, damn atas i tell you. AND TO THOSE WHO ARE THINKING OF GOING FOR A HIGH TEA BUFFET, PLEASE DROP THE IDEA. A cake each with a drink was enough to keep J and i MAD FULL. So then, we followed the current trend and went back to Century Square(cause town is mad) for Avengers!!!!! The movie is totally not overrated, its really really a movie worth watching, and we managed to get it at $6, STUDENTS PRICE YAY
did i mention how much i love dates like this, we haven't really had a proper date in eons and it was nice to just hang out, walking down streets hand in hand. i love you, my favourite boy ♥

identity
After living for 20 years, I'm actually still pretty lost about who I really am, what am I gonna become. Not to mention, who my true friends are. Along the way, I kept calling certain people in my life my "best" friend(s), but in actually fact, are they really my best friend? Best friends are meant to be a two way thing, right? So if this person is a best friend to you, you should somehow also mean as a best friend to them, right? Actually right now, I think I still haven't find the right definition of it. Or maybe, I don't even know what i'm searching for. Same goes for boyfriend. How do you define a boyfriend? How do you decide if you want someone to be your boyfriend? How do you decide which are the feelings you're supposed to feel to be able to decide that person as your boyfriend? How do you know you want that person to be your boyfriend? How do you know that you like them, or when you love them? How's a boyfriend supposed to be like, or behave? What am to expect? After 20 years, I still have so much doubts. Only thing that doesn't come with a doubt, is that I'd been living a wasted life.

the monthly woes
So, as usual, every month we girls will go through hell physically and mentally. Not just the great blood loss, we also experience mega cramps, which leads to mental disorders as we tend to want to pull our ovaries/eggs/wombs out of our poor little bodies.Physical torments aside, we lose friends/family members for a few days too before, during and after our periods. The crazy hormones in us starts changing, god knows why, and we start to get moodswings faster than the weather could change, we start to get pissy at everything anything, and we become less aware of our surroundings and to the people around us. There had been many myths and facts out there that people spreads around and it is said that those methods work(or not).The most common ones that were tested and proven is drinking hot/warm water, putting something warm on your tummy and painkillers(?). But if all these still isn't good enough, you can learn from some of these facts that I chanced upon on an article i tore out from the September 2011 Seventeen magz(say thank you!)
FACT #1: USE THE RIGHT PAD
Isn't this simple?! By using the right pad, we don't have to feel the itch/heat which are caused by some pads that have that super plastic-y feel which irritates skin that are sensitive. Most importantly, we don't have to be constantly worried about staining our shorts!!!! This is mega important to us ladies cause menstruation seem to restrict the clothes and colour that we wear, all because we're afraid of the "wings" being seen, or that the flow might be too heavy and cause staining to our skirts/shorts whatever. From my own experience, i choose to use those mega long and thick ones on the first few days of my period. Haha cause i'm damn kiasu, i hate the fact of staining even my panty, so long and thick pads are the safest! As the flow subsides, you can then switch to the not-so-thick one, but i'll still stick to slightly long ones just in case i sleep or whatever the pad moves or what. Then to the end, pantyliner can step in just to make sure that the period is finally o-v-e-r!
FACT #2: GO EASY ON SWEETS
So anyway, people always say to have sweet treats to keep your mood up to curb the pms etc, but it's not true! I guess the people who says that are natural sweet tooth haha. In the article, it states that we should cut down on sweet treats(!!!!!) such as cupcakes, cookies, ice cream because all these actually gives us a heavier flow!!! (NOOOOOO!) The reason being so is because... sugar causes a spike in insulin which is a hormone that causes our lining to thicken even more. So since we can't do anything but hate this hormone, why not just cut down on the sweet treats to safe our ovaries!
FACT #3: EAT HEALTHY
This is like guilt tripping most of the girls in society now, including me. All we wanna do is to look good without having to put in any effort, so the easiest is just to... don't eat lor. So again, according to the article, most girls/ladies suffer from diarrhoea/constipation and gas(i guess its constant farting?) during our menstrual cycle. This is because of some er, weird chemicals named Prostaglandins, which is the culprit that causes crampings and wrecks the same kind of havoc in our poor little stomachs. But fret not! Seventeen mentioned that adding some fibre, like fruits, cereal and vegetables to our diets can actually keep these tummy troubles under control! (YAY!!!)
FACT #4: TAKE A SUPPLEMENT
Everyone should know fish oil by now, right? That transparent orange-y capsule thing that stinks(to some). But apparently, this orange capsule actually might be our life saver for the monthly cramps! Research has shown that fish oil containing omega-3 fats can relive cramps! And to soothe pms, try taking at least 1000mg of calcium pills! Now i bet J is gonna make me eat like thousand so calcium pills alr NOOOOOOOO!
FACT #5: DRINK TEA
I have no idea to declare that people nowadays love to drink tea, or don't love. Personally, i quite like drinking tea! Cleanses my tummy after a really full and oily meal ^^ so anyway, it is true that drinking camomile(idk if its just this though)tea helps to ease the pain. It's because these herbal teas(not those liang cha) have polyphenois that helps to relax our uterus muscles!!! And to peppermint lovers, having a peppermint cuppa can also help to soothe the restless tum turn! nomnomnomz
FACT #6: EXERCISE HELPS
Living in Singapore, our lives are pretty much fast forwarded, because we all live in a very fast paced country. Work, school, and other commitments, most people hardly have the time for excercising. Even if we do have a little time left, we'll be far too lazy/tired to do it. But actually, exercising do help! Even though people say that it's not recommended to exercise while having periods etc, or you feel mad grouchy and refuses to leave the house with your mega black face, you can still exercise in the comfort of your own home! And to make it better, light exercising acts as an anti-depressant too! So if you're as lazy or unwilling to exercise as me, you can try brisk walking or dancing to shake these blues away!
So, to all ladies out there or to any boyfriends who needs to handle with the pms of your girl just like how my boy has to(hehehe), i hope these information do helps! :>
FACT #1: USE THE RIGHT PAD
Isn't this simple?! By using the right pad, we don't have to feel the itch/heat which are caused by some pads that have that super plastic-y feel which irritates skin that are sensitive.

Now i bet J is gonna make me eat like thousand so calcium pills alr NOOOOOOOO!
FACT #5: DRINK TEA
I have no idea to declare that people nowadays love to drink tea, or don't love. Personally, i quite like drinking tea! Cleanses my tummy after a really full and oily meal ^^ so anyway, it is true that drinking camomile(idk if its just this though)tea helps to ease the pain. It's because these herbal teas(not those liang cha) have polyphenois that helps to relax our uterus muscles!!! And to peppermint lovers, having a peppermint cuppa can also help to soothe the restless tum turn! nomnomnomz
FACT #6: EXERCISE HELPS
Living in Singapore, our lives are pretty much fast forwarded, because we all live in a very fast paced country. Work, school, and other commitments, most people hardly have the time for excercising. Even if we do have a little time left, we'll be far too lazy/tired to do it. But actually, exercising do help! Even though people say that it's not recommended to exercise while having periods etc, or you feel mad grouchy and refuses to leave the house with your mega black face, you can still exercise in the comfort of your own home! And to make it better, light exercising acts as an anti-depressant too! So if you're as lazy or unwilling to exercise as me, you can try brisk walking or dancing to shake these blues away!
So, to all ladies out there or to any boyfriends who needs to handle with the pms of your girl just like how my boy has to(hehehe), i hope these information do helps! :>
worth the while
Isn't it infuriating and mind boggling when you don't know where to find the strength to hold on anymore? When you can't seem to feel the way you did before, even when small little details don't seem to go the way you wished they would? Perhaps all we need is communication, mutual understanding and a heart that WANTS to and CHOOSES to love. We may not survive on only love, but we can definitely go a greater mile for love.

I won't give up
I Won't Give Up - Jason Mraz
When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
Well there's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?
I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find
'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, i won't give up
I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that i can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use the tools and gifts
We got yeah we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn, how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what i got, and what i'm not
And who i am
I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
I'm still looking up
I won't give up (No I'm not) on us (Giving up)
God knows i'm tough (I am tough), he knows (I am loved)
We got a lot (We're alive) to learn (We are loved)
God knows we're worth it (And we're worth it)
I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
Well there's so much they hold
And just like them old stars

new found joy
Finally, tomorrow will be the last day of VPP, and that's like what every single one of us are waiting for. THE TWO WEEKS HOLIDAYS!!! So, as usual, Mr Yang came in to help with our project, because he found some solutions to the problems we were facing, and not surprisingly, only Shao Yuan and I among the 5 of us were around. Haha. Meddled with the board, the program etc, and installed/updated some software. And finally!!! My LEDs all lit up YAY! So next step, to test the audio. Shao Yuan's program had error, and guess who's the lucky girl? TEEHEEHEE mind worked ;) (btw I'm the only girl among the 5 of us) can you freaking imagine the joy I felt when I found out that mine was working?! Literally overjoyed. Means for PDD2 we can try to work on whatever we have to do and not be worried this and that not being able to work, means we can graduate in time wheeee!
Not that I'm hating NP luh. NP is really a really nice campus, a place where students really gets a lot of benefits be it the facilities or food. But just, the feeling of having your friends all moving on before you doing really seem to be the best idea afterall. Thank goodness my fyp mates aren't mean and gross boys that I detest. Though they are gross(they burp and fart loudly in class without warning) but they are nice people! And we share snacks in class and go for lunch together! All these seem pretty good enough company for the past 6 months and I think it'll be the same for the coming 6 months!

27 March 2012
Yesterday was our first year (yay!) and so we did the usual thing of hanging out. Had Applebee's for the first time. It was good, i tell you. Lunch deals were reasonable and portions were pretty fair too! I had the Fish and Chips and J had Shrimp Calami(smth like that). In short, the shrimp thing was actually pasta in cream sauce with really fresh prawns! And the prawns are really yummy! And for my Fish and Chips, they were really generous with the fish, and its yummy too! The highlight was actually the Buffalo Wings. We ordered the Sweet n' Spicy ones. 10 pieces for approx $11, but super yumz. i had like 4 and J gobbled down the rest. SUCH A PIG RIGHT hehe.
Lunch was followed by an awesome movie, The Hunger Games! So strange but true, I'm starting to like movies like this, action films. I actually suggested to J that I wanna watch Wrath of the Titans when it's out. He was kinda shocked. HAHAHAHA. Then he said he wanna watch it too cause he saw the trailer just before our movie started YAY hehe. So after movie, ITS DIMSUM TIME! YAYAYAYAYAY Scallop Chee Cheong Fun, Fried Beancurd skin with shrimps and Custard Buns FROM Bao Today! So satisfying yumzzz. Headed back home w J, caught another movie on Funshion, The Princess and the Frog, the Thai version. He fell asleep while watching it, but I think its very funny. There you go, a super fulfilling day out w the boy <3
Wished the night never had to end.

hunger games
The Hunger Games is an awesome show. Still remember why i actually wanted to watch it. The trailer showed before our John Carter movie started and i was like "omg so sadistic please!!!!" And that's why i want to watch it. Lol. I just wanted to see how this show will end, how they managed to manipulate 24 young people to join such a stupid and brutal game. The producer of the movie itself must be a really sadistic and awful person to be able to come up with such a film, with such a plot. In fact, how does killing each other reminds them of the betrayal done? How does that remind them that peace doesn't come easy? How does it show humanity? Totally a question to ponder upon.
