Mundane weekends.

Yep, that was what I had for breakfast this morning. It wasn't exactly what I would call a perfect, sumptuous meal to kick start the morning... But it was good enough to satisfy those easily-contented tastebuds of mine.

Got a ride from my dad this morning to Botanic Gardens. Felt genuinely diligent for once, because I got up at 7am on a day which I've no school to attend to.

I used to sleep my ass off till 3/4 in the afternoon. (Which is what people like my parents would call late. I mean that's probably cause they've yet to see my friends who are able to sleep up to 24hours. That's just way beyond insanity.)

It was only after I started to form a habit of waking up before 12 everyday, I started to feel like I was leading a much healthier lifestyle. Of course, this alone wouldn't be enough to help develop a healthy lifestyle, but it sure does make one's day a lot more meaningful and productive.

No doubt that there are still those rare occasions (which I'd name "off days") where I'll wake up slightly later, but I'm glad that my sleeping habits aren't that screwed up anymore.

Haha, I think I elaborated a little too much, now I'm losing my chain of thought on what I wanted to say just now. Moving on.

Met two of my awesome classmates, Lucas and Van to visit Bukit Brown's Cemetery for a photography session on our upcoming project. 

It was really creepy, but I was so stoked! I mean, how often would you have the guts to do something this outrageous? 

It was all good, until... We lost our way, and there was a sudden downpour in the aftermath of it. Well, the weather decided that losing our way in a Cemetery wasn't pathetic enough.

Finally got everything we wanted and finished studying after 6 good hours. -Faints in the most dramatic way I could ever imagine- 

Here's my expressionless face after studying for the entire weekend.

Sigh, I honestly feel a little upset about losing my "life" after school started. Yea, I'm out everyday, but it's to study most of the time. Even on my weekends, I'll either use them to finish up my personal work or stay home to rest. 

And above all these, I've so many other problems to deal with. Then there are people who make their problems my problem. Frankly, I'm really happy when people are willing to share their problems with me. It makes me feel important. Important enough to hold their secrets, and to be a part of their lives.

It's just that I feel really incapable of dealing with my own recently. 

Besides, what's worse than trying so hard only to have someone telling you, you're not good enough?

As much as I'd like to share more "exciting stuff" with you guys, besides all these stodgy rants, I really have nothing much to share.

Even shopping has to be online now. -Sobs- Oh well, on a brighter note... I've gotten quite a numb of stuff lately. Enough to do a new haul video pretty soon! (I'm also planning on a mega giveaway.) Stay tuned!!!

Just some pictures taken last Sat during dinner with Trix and Les, in between our study session.

Finally managed to dine at Nine Thirty by Awfully Chocolate. Was greeted with a row of really appealing chocolate pastries at the entrance.

Settled in as quickly as we sat down to order our food as we were all really hungry!!!

Couldn't help but to pick this dish from the menu when I saw "Poached egg" written under its name "Ninethirty's corned beef benedict." 

I've so much love for eggs. That's another reason why I'm really thrilled whenever a restaurant serves breakfast all day.

The irresistible sight of the corned beef, and sweet dough bun is undeniably as tasty as it looks.

Couldn't remember what were the names and prices of what my other two friends had, but mine was SGD16. Guessing theirs were around the same as well.

And they loved their meal too!

It was pretty filling, and I would've definitely ordered my fav Crème brûlée if I didn't feel so stuffed. It was a pretty decent meal, nothing too fantastic, but I'd say it's worth the price!

Unspoken feelings / Topazette

The day before yesterday was probably one of my worst days for this entire month. I had a really bad breakdown in the midst of my painting class.

Not planning on elaborating further on what happened, but I guess I've just been really stressed lately. School, work, friends and over someone......

I always knew how people can't be trusted entirely, and despite how many terrible encounters I've faced, that were already equivalent to getting a huge slap from reality to wake up... I've yet to learn my lesson.

It's just tough. Take it as, I do remind myself not to, but I still tend to fall into it. Perhaps subconsciously. And I don't realize how much I actually trust these people until they screw up, and I get myself hurt.

Not to mention how my mind still wanders off back into the past at times, and how certain feelings still linger around until today.

It's been months, but I just can't seem to get back on my feet. Even though I thought I already did. Sigh. I feel pathetic.

Oh well, life's not always a bed of roses I guess? My priority now is to put my heart into my studies anyway, I don't really wanna bother about anything else for the time being. If my heart allows me to.

Met up with Aug yesterday in the evening for kinda like a "farewell date," bcos he'd be travelling abroad for awhile, and I'm really sad :( My heart felt so heavy, it feels like it sank right to the ground when we parted. I'm gonna miss this dude.

It has only been months, but you've been there ever since I lost someone really dear to me. And even though I've already said most of these things I'm about to say, to you over the phone, I just wanna take this opportunity to remind you how thankful I am for having you in my life.

You were part of the reason why I started to learn how to smile again. The advices you give at times really suck big time hahaha, but you're the perfect candidate who knows how to make me smile genuinely... Which is more than anything I could ever ask for.

Guess I'm gonna save the rest of what I've to say when I speak to you personally. Love ya beb.

So anyway, the shorts I'm wearing is from TOPAZETTE!

Here's a short introduction of them...

Founded in 2009 and revamped in 2013, Topazette is a fast growing online fashion label that offers competitive prices and pays attention to the needs of modern ladies without sacrificing style. With tops priced no higher than SGD30, it is the perfect place for shopaholics looking to fill their wardrobes with fashion forward apparels for both work and play!

They provide worldwide shipping at affordable rates too!
 What’s even better? Local delivery is completely FREE OF CHARGE!!!

Here are more pictures taken by Aug.

It's been a pleasure to be able to work with them, and I was having so much fun picking my items! Of course, I also had a hard time deciding since there was a wide variety of items.

I feel that I should have paired the shorts with a light top, preferably something close to white instead. & Would've went for the vintage look and throw on a white-collared shirt/blouse if I wasn't rushing this morning!!!

The frills at the end was what captivated my attention!

They've also given me this really lovely romper which has the prettiest colours and design on it!

Some of the other stuff that they are selling

Just to add on, they've sold more than 200 pieces of the Kaitlyn Cross-Back Top and Beryl X-back Top, which are back in stock! You can check them out and purchase it (here)

Time to pamper yourself and fill those wardrobes up ladies!

Till next time!

Yet another day.

Feeling really exhausted now after a lying on the floor for the past 4 hours working on my art pieces which are due tomorrow. 

I'm so drained. So many things to do, yet so little time. Still struggling, and trying to adapt to everything. 

At least I'm glad to say that I'm still getting the adrenaline rush every once in awhile, or should I say that spur energy that keeps me going? Whatever.

I just hope this conscientious attitude would continue, and my hard work wouldn't go in vain.

Anyway, just a short update before I hit the sack soon.

Just some pictures Cleon took after we were done studying. 

If you were having a bad day, I hope the next picture brightens your day (or night maybe) a little haha.

The truth is revealed, this is how I usually sit... lol.

Anyway if you were wondering why there aren't any pictures of him, it's because he's camera-shy. NOT.

And anyway, I'm back on a low-carb diet again since I've been so busy... I barely have any time to work out.

Yeap, which means I gave my mashed potato to Cleon :(

Here are some tips just in case any of you out there need it!

Things you should avoid eating:

1) Sugar: Soft drinks, fruit juices, agave, candy, ice cream and many others.

2) Gluten Grains: Wheat, spelt, barley and rye. Includes breads and pastas.

3)Trans Fats: “Hydrogenated” or “partially hydrogenated” oils.

4) Highly Processed Foods: If it looks like it was made in a factory, don’t eat it.

5) Artificial Sweeteners: Aspartame, Saccharin, Sucralose, Cyclamates and Acesulfame Potassium. Use Stevia instead.

Reduce the amount of dairy products as well - Milk, Chocolates, Cheese etc.

Some of the things you should/can eat:

Beef, lamb, pork, chicken breast, salmon, trout, eggs...

PLENTY OF fruits and vegetables.

You can have a bit of yogurt (Not frolick etc, of course.) / plenty of water before each meal so that lesser space is left to be filled up with food :p
