Surrender

Lately I've been feeling rather lethargic and I felt that I've lost all my motivation for school. I wish I can have a month of holiday without any stress just to stay at home and sleep. I'm really exhausted, mentally. If only time could just slow down, I want some rest badly. Now I'm at a crucial period which I know I cannot give up neither can I afford to give up since I've come this far already. People has been telling me things which makes me feel really useless about myself, even though I'm used to it, but still it hurts. If only someone can just bring me to somewhere far away even if it's just for a week...

Met up with Pinky yesterday, it's her birthday on Sunday so dinner was on me! We went to Koh Grill and Sushi Bar for dinner as I had cravings for Japanese food. 


I just love anything with asparagus! 


Shiok Maki. This is REALLY shiok 


Shiok Maki version 2! I actually prefer the v2 than the original one. I personally love prawns more than unagi.

God is good.

Laugh often, focus on the good, be kind, and forgive. 

Last week was a hectic yet awesome week. Normally I would feel extremely tired every Monday but I felt surprisingly energized today. 

Last Tuesday I took my O'level Chinese oral and I was SUPER nervous because I only have one chance and I was so afraid that I would screw it up. What I hate about exams the most is definitely oral. I feel very uncomfortable in front of strangers and that makes me nervous. I'm good at oral when it comes to my school's teachers but definitely not people whom I do not know. I really want to thank God for giving me peace and strength when I entered the examination room. The other days of the oral was hard, but thank God the day I took was manageable. Guess my prayer worked and God is just really good to me.  

Friday was the busiest day of the week. I had only like 3 hours of sleep and I managed to survive the whole day without taking any naps neither did I even feel exhausted. I was basically just tired and when I'm tired, I'm either very hyped up and cannot stop talking or I would just be extremely quiet and give a straight face... Yes I know I'm weird, please don't judge me. I had school, dental, cell group meeting and I met up with Elaine, my long lost friend! We had a really great catch-up session at D'good cafe. 

The food was a disappointment but the cake was good. The ambience was really peaceful. A good place to study, catch up with a friend and maybe some alone time with a nice book. 
 
The best part of the cafe was definitely the coffee. If you're a big fan of coffee like me, you're gonna fall in love with this place. 

With Elaine the other day, she changed so much(for the better of course) and I almost couldn't recognize her. Such a lovely woman, thank you for the advices and motivating to me study harder! Totally wish my results were as good as hers, she's a pure genius! 

Saturday was my bff's birthday. It was the first time I baked a cake for a friend's birthday, and it turned out to be awesome! Normally I just bake cupcakes,  tarts and muffins. It might not be presentable but it definitely taste good. We had dinner at Table Manners and I really love the place.  Even though I've been there quite a few times, but it was my first time there for dinner. Normally I was there for brunch or lunch. 

We had mushroom fritters, which taste not bad but I feel that it was normal and you can easily get it at Pasar Malams. BFF had deep fried chicken with cheese and tomato sauce. It was good, the chicken was really fresh and tender! And I had...... 

BAAAAAM. Pasta Al Fungi. I personally feel that it's the best thing there and it's really good! Definitely a must try when you go to Table Manners. I love mushrooms and fat noodles(I know that's fettuccine), so this is the perfect dish for me. 

So it's time for dessert. We ordered Creme Caramel which is their specialty there. It taste good but I was sick of it after a few mouths hence both of couldn't finish it. Best thing about that place...... There are A L O T of hot guys working there and both my BFF and I couldn't keep our eyes of them hahahahahahahahaha k I should stop. Sorry. 

After dinner, I surprised the BFF with her favourite singer, Wilber 潘玮柏's concert tickets. I was delighted that I managed to make my best friend teared... Even though it was only a tear. It was really a coincidence that her favourite singer's concert fell on her birthday so I just really had to get her the tickets. Glad that she had a great time. It's amazing how both of us can be happy and laugh everything off no matter what cocks up. Happy 6 years of friendship darling! 

After his concert. So not used to the bff being taller than me the whole day... Since it's your birthday I shall let you win this time. (I am 1cm taller than her but it's her FIRST time wearing heels out that day and I was wearing flats) IN CASE none of you doesn't know who's my BFF, she is ROSAMUND YEO. The girl who has the prettiest smile in the world. 

One last photo before I end off my post. This is my best friend and I hahaha same same but different. I'm fair, she's tan. I have big eyes, she has small eyes. Even though we're different, but we're best friends. Happy 19th birthday darling, we both believe in forever so I truly believe our friendship will last forever. ❤
