Trick or treat

"Life is full of forks in the road at which we are faced with the option of trying to make things work or letting it go. And while we are not always going to pick the right direction, it’s always important to distinguish between what is up to us and what, for better or worse, never will be."

Hi folks, happy halloween to all of you and sorry I may have disappointed you if you're actually anticipating for a halloween post but nay it's never a norm to celebrate it. Oh yes, I should too, apologize for the previous exceptionally emotional post as my mind went hay-wired and that this space is getting mundane again. Firstly, studies had buried me and just managed to get over two consecutive days of class tests. Secondly, I was quite diligent and have been practising piano as much as I can since there's hell load of books I've to practise and last but no least, I've been working pretty much because I need to save up for my year end trip (IN EXACTLY TWO MONTHS' TIME YIPPEE YAY).

Alright, the next update won't be a lengthy one, I promise. Goodnight sweets (: 

In the self denial

Just who are those who always put up a smile and face the world as if they are the happiest lark on earth? And just who will know that they might be at their most horrible state, feeling all so crappy and couldn't express how awful it is to be feeling this way? 

Yes I need to stop living in self denial that I'm actually that bubbly, cheerful all so optimistic and always 'think happy thoughts' because the fact is that I'm not and I don't tell anyone about this, besides the one and only one who's always there, not anyone but an awesome pal, my diary. 

Sometimes I wish I can just say, I'm not okay and there ain't any reason. I just don't know the reason. I just wish somebody will know about this, not questioning me anything and just be there. Maybe a shoulder will be favourable. Sometimes I just need that. Yes, I'm totally no where near alright now. It feels as if the mind and heart are weighing a thousand tonnes that they are gonna rupture anytime. I wish I know how to comprehend this, really. The fact that I don't is silently killing me. I need to know why and at least that could save me from being such an annoying person ranting like anyone will actually give a damn about this.

Now you know, why I'm a gemini. You can't disagree with me because gemini has two personalities and I always feel that I have it, too. Maybe, a happy pill will do some good too.

Always and forever, xoxo (only decent pic sadly)

If you love to have afternoon tea or to catch up with your fellow girlfriends, this chic and quiet cafeteria will definitely have met up with your expectation. I love how all the furniture and chairs are all mis-matched but somehow giving the whimsical and quirky vibe. The only con is that they do not have a wide selection of food, purely just burgers as mains, cakes, coffee and tea. Nevertheless it was still a pleasant afternoon spent with the best friend <3 (:

The perks of being a wallflower

I was overjoyed and so intoxicated when I finally managed to catch this movie yayyyyyy after waiting for more than a year?! Yes it was that long and since the day I read the book, I fell in love (fyi, I'm nowhere near a bookworm and in fact I rarely read) and knowing that it's gonna be filmed into a movie casting logan lerman, emma watson, ezra miller and nina dobrev was totally whoa-oh-whoa-aaaaa-ooooo!! I even had the thought then, 'hmm maybe I'd be attached next year and I'll be able to catch this with my boyfriend' but no I'm still alone, nobody wants me sadly haha just kidding it ain't that sad afterall. 

Okay getting back on track, the movie plot was better than I thought it'd be since movies from books won't be as great as the book itself just like let me in, the ending sucks pretty badly but this was so different, the ending was almost perfect, imo. 

Maybe I should just re-read this book again, still my fav till now.

"I don’t know if you’ve ever felt like that. That you wanted to sleep for a thousand years. Or just not exist. Or just not be aware that you do exist. Or something like that. I think wanting that is very morbid, but I want it when I get like this. That’s why I’m trying not to think. I just want it all to stop spinning."

"It's just that I don't want to be somebody's crush. If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am. And I don't want them to carry it around inside. I want them to show me, so I can feel it too."

"I just need to know that someone out there listens and understands and doesn't try to sleep with people even if they could have. I need to know these people exist."

A friend who cares

"When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares."

XOXO

One of the rare days which I actually traveled all the way to the east just to collect my shuffle and to meet my two lovely girls for dinz at IKEA. Definitely miss huiyi a lot since the day she quitted H&M, we had so much to catch up but time was limited as jamie had to leave earlier.

In another blink of an eye, season of joy is approaching in approx two months' time and that is too, the year's gonna mark an end.

Not everyone is beautiful, but that's okay

"There is nothing wrong with wanting to feel good about oneself, but there is clearly something unhealthy about depending on so much of that happiness to come from what you look like. The truth is that not everyone, not even most people, are viewed by the world around them as 'beautiful', physically speaking. And that’s fine. In fact, some might argue that it’s better to let go of whatever part of us is tied up in our looks as soon as possible, as what we have now is clearly not going to last anyway. But perhaps we should reconsider before we allow our first compliment towards someone be how 'lovely' they are. We are so much more than what we look like, and it’s a shame that we allow ourselves to think that by constantly telling each other we are pretty, we are doing ourselves any kind of favours in the long run."

In the maze

Life is pretty funny isn't it? Just when you think you've got it all figured out, just when you finally began to plan something, get excited and feel like you know what direction you're heading in, the paths change, the signs change, the wind blows the other way, north is suddenly south, east is suddenly west and you're just lost.

Sort of

And if I was stronger then I would tell you no 
And if I was stronger then I will leave this show 
And if I was stronger then I would up and go 
But here I am and here we go again

Rider's cafe

Love this candid shot of priscilla and evelyn by huimin!  

Pacific benedicts which was really special and tasted exceptionally extraordinary as it's filled with crab meat and prawn hollandaise sauce instead of the original bacon style!

Rider's has thumbs-up berries pancake with mascarpone too!

Lovely noon spent with these girls however it's such pity xx and wanting couldn't make it but there's always another time. Had to wait for approximately 45 mins as we didn't manage to make a reservation so remember to do so way beforehand if you decide to give rider's a try! Weather wasn't at our side either, it was scorching hot in the noon and it rained not long after which thus we couldn't take capture much pictures of the beautiful scenery there. Besides all these, all's great! 

Time is almost everything

Hi fellow readers who are even still reading this (fill in the blank) space of mine because I've kinda been caught up with life. Endless tasks and insanely packed schedules are both mentally and physically draining me to wits end. 

There are a couple of things I wanna do so much but time doesn't allow me to do so. I need more time to exercise, swim skip cycle or whatsoever. I need more time to catch up with my friends. I need more time to revise and study. I need more time to practise piano and start bucking up on the piano theory which I suck so bad. I need more time to visit cafes/bakeries to try all the savory goodies. I need more time to catch the perks of being a wallflower (which I've waited for what... almost a year?!) since I fell in love with the book a few years back and that logan lerman is the lead actor of this show!!! Last but not least I need more time to rest else my body is gonna fail on me soon not or later. 

It's saddening how short a day is, 24 hours is definitely not sufficient. Till then, goodnight.

Where everyday is a pancake day

All day breakfast for myself!

Chick n cheesy for juting!

Elated us finally satisfied our cravings a few days ago at little pancakes, or rather it was just me because I was dying to try out little pancakes and it didn't disappoint us, not even a little. Staffs are friendly and the pancakes are bite-sized, maybe exlucing the facts that the eggs and mini sausages were a tad salty but I like it that way. Although it's quite inconvenient to get there, the food will definitely make the trip worthy (:
