Ramblings of a rather average girl

Since it's New Years Eve, I'm kind of obligated to reflect on what has happened over 2013. This is going to be long post, just a warning. Haha! What happened in 2013: I got my O level results I did all right– I was happy with my results which is a surprise because most of the time I would be a little disappointed. I thought I would did badly because I felt I didn't study as much as I hoped to (After the POA exams, I went to watch The Perks of Being A Wallflower with my friends). But it was a pleasant surprise that I did not get any Cs which I thought I would.  Posting results: Got into Media and Communication in Singapore Polytechnic I felt really disappointed. Totally gutted. I had half the mind to appeal to a Junior College because I felt that the course I got into didn't present any prospect for my future. But when I was about to send in my application for appeal for a JC, I backed out because of my gut was telling me 'No' so badly that I fel...

Today the unholy trinity (Aini, Fran and I) went to my friend, Annabel's sister's wedding. Annabel looks so pretty in her bridesmaid dress. Haha! It was my first wedding that I've attended as a teenager, the last time I went for a church wedding is when I was 3 which was my uncle's and I can remember nothing of. So the ceremony was alright– it was rather fast, faster than I thought it would be.  The unholy trinity (hiding my weird looking face with a Rilakuma face) Annabel + the unholy trinity After the wedding, we went to City Hall for lunch/early dinner at Soup Spoon and later some dessert and tea at Tiong Bahru Bakery. Chatted for a bit and later went home. It was a good day today. We managed to settle some shit out for something when we're meeting Annabel. So it's good.  -Gloria

I must first say that it's all my friend, Aini's fault for introducing this to me and now I'm hooked. It's actually quite intense– especially when you see the bakers messing up some of their bakes and you're like, 'nooooooooo!!!'. Haha.  I watched the first episode at a sleepover at Aini's house and I thought I wouldn't enjoy it that much compared to Master Chef because baking seemed to be more boring compared to cooking. However, I was proofed wrong– did you see it? The pun? All right, forget it. So the four of us: Aini, Verlyn, Francesca (or Fran) and I watched the entire season 4 of TGBBO in the span of 2 days. We watched the first 7 episodes in the afternoon-evening to 3am in the morning. After breakfast/brunch, we finished up the rest of the episodes. And Aini decided to give me the entire season 3 and now I'm hooked. Thanks Aini for making my procrastination much more easier. Haha! This is Ruby Tandoh, our favourite baker in ...

Sadly, it's true and I agree that I wish it wasn't so. But that's the things about friendships or any relationships for that matter. As much as I wish all of my relationships with people would be all rainbows and sunshine but that's not how relationships work. Relationships are messy things and everything in life, you'll have to take the good along with the bad.  Right now, I feel like my friendship with someone is exactly like that picture and it's sad. Such much as I want to salvage whatever friendship we have together, I feel like there's nothing left to save. I want to believe that this would work out eventually and we would laugh about it in the future. I don't want this to be the end. But I'm so sick of the bullshit that you put us through. I don't know. I'm fucking conflicted. UGH. At one point, I'm angry and I want to cut you off my life. Yet when I've calmed down, I feel like I'm overreacting and this is rather p...

Merry Christmas everyone!! Though my excitement of Christmas started waning after the stroke of midnight, it has been a rather chill Christmas for me this year. My family aren't really into the festivity of any holiday. Be it Christmas or New Years or Chinese New Year (or Lunar New Year), we just treat it like a day to rest, that's all. No setting up Christmas trees– though we used to do that when my brother and I were younger– or having Christmas dinners or hanging the wreathe outside the door– nothing. We're not a family of Grinches, it all boils down to laziness. Haha! My Christmas morning started pretty uneventful– I just spent my time reading on the couch before going on tumblr and started scrolling. To take a break from scrolling tumblr (it's deep as the Pacific Ocean, I swear), I watched The Great British Bake Off before my parents dragged me out of the house for lunch.  So we (or my parents) decided to go to the new Bedok Mall because they want to see wha...

All right, so... This is another attempt to write a blog. I used to have a blog but I abandoned it for tumblr (sorry not sorry). Not only it's been abandoned, I deleted it because it's rather embarrassing. My 14-16 year old self was very embarrassing so I'm still trying to repress those memories where I've acted like an idiot. Well, when you look back your past self, you always feel like punching them in the face. And by past self, it can vary from 10 seconds ago to years ago. Like when you say something stupid and you realised it or when you remembered what stupid thing you did when you're 10. Damn those cringe worthy moments.  Look at me, I've digressed from my original idea for this post (is this grammatically correct?). Warning, I tend to digress a lot, not a good thing, it's something I'm working on so, sorry about that. Someone need to shout 'Digression' at me whenever I digress like in The Catcher in the Rye (or is it digress? I need...
