New beginning

By pennylicious January 25, 2017 //

Right, I went on a hiatus after the second half of year 2016 until now.

Because I've got to focus on my O levels, which I didn't focused as much as N levels time, but I still got a desired result! Hold on, you may think that, "What? So you planned to focus on your exams but not as much as last previous years, and yet you managed to sustain an even better result?"

Yes, that's absolutely right. I am not boasting or whatnot, but that was really true.

Of course, I did study hard, doing and completing the heavy assignments every single day and night, doing personal notes and catching up on subjects I'd missed while I'm sick. However, I didn't force myself to memorise everything like I used to previously. Up to now, I finally realised that hard work really do pay off, and that all you need to do is to be consistent. Do not ever force yourself to do what you can't. Plan everything equally and you can definitely do everything right on schedule.

I spent most of my time not stressing myself over everything in 2016, and to laugh out loud every now and then. I loved 2016 and it was an awesome year for me, despite some little situations (but it's all well now).

I've never felt so joyful upon receiving my O level results, definitely was in high spirits!

However, I'm so so so gonna miss my best friends in school & the ones who stayed and supported each other in sec 5.

Marshall's

By pennylicious July 16, 2016 //

Yay! I've wanted a headphone since this year because of all the constant good music comin' through, so why not? I've been searching for good stuff online and I came across a 5 bucks normal headphone. I was thinking whether should I get it, or not, since it's THAT cheap and a normal headphone will do, for now. *smiles sheepishly*

I just shook my head and wanting to just shrug it off for awhile now, not until when my fam and I went out for dinner at the nearby shopping mall....... I wanted a headphone.

I was hesitating.. I just can't finalize my answer, for god knows why.

I asked my mom instead, and she NOT-HESITATE-LY dragged me to a shop where they sell electronics, along with my dad. I was thinking again, (okay yes I do think a lot, realising it now..) to whether or not, get one and that's that. I thought again, what did I do to deserve this? Headphones do cost a lot, and sure-do to listen good music, with good brands of headphones...right? *laughs sheepishly again*

We spent an hour or so in the shop, deciding....and then the Marshall one caught my eye...BUT NOT THE PRICE THOUGH. Whoever says $170 is okay, please get your luggage full of helium and jump off the cliff. Joking! Well, always, to me it does count, but not to my mom and dad. Good stuff with good reliable price...yes.

No more thinking; my mom bought this for me.

The end.

Thank you!

This was our first dinner and the first time, the fam made wonders at my sister's crib kitchen. :)

Ps, the dishes were from Morocco.

We even used the oven for the chicken wings and potatoes, YUMS, and daddy made his very own usual fried prawns (on Father's Day too), ending perfectly with 3 good bowls of melon soup!

Oh, what a memorable one!

Pulau Ubin 🚴 and Geylang Bazaar

By pennylicious June 16, 2016 //

Went to a short getaway to Pulau Ubin with my best friends! Never regret anything, but just the constant, annoying mosquito bites, I had 38 of them on both my legs and arms. -_-

Omg, we were sitting on a bumboat, halfway arriving to Pulau Ubin, and oh dear the boat driver was...WEIRD. This cargo ship is going to cross our path, and this driver uncle still decided to increase it's speed and crossed over this cargo ship! It was super near, and I thought we're going to crash. Not only me was freaking out, the other passengers too! Take a chill pill, uncle...

Just a cute little flower I noticed.

Presenting you my two crazy best friends, Shulin (left) and Susan (right). *rolls eyes*

Posing for the picture while on bicycle break. Ps, riding at Pulau Ubin was very very very tiring..

Just discovering.

Came across a muddy beach, and thanks to my sandals, mud's all covered on my feet right after this picture was taken.
PS: THE MOSQUITO BITES WERE NO JOKE.

After touring the whole island, we realised we still had time and went to explore Geylang's Bazaar!

The airport.

By pennylicious June 14, 2016 //

Went to the airport to fetch my dear sis & bro in law who just came back from London! Am really happy that they enjoyed there and even more grateful they were back safely. Apart from that, it's been a long time since I've went to the airport. With that, we went to the viewing mall where we could pleasantly view the flights taking off. It was a peaceful view and that formed a train of thoughts in me. I believe that most of us are working way too hard, sometimes we indeed do need a break for a short while perhaps. Personally, I felt that travelling is a blissful thing to do in life, and what could be better than having a short getaway from all the chaotic work we have here? Travelling could be both boon and bane, which technically means life. Life is short, and at the same period I came across this quote "what if today is the last day of your life?"

This made me feel that life is like a plane taking off. After the journey begins, we will encounter all sorts of misfortune or obstacles, but the plane will not stop unless you want to die...right? So let this plane of yours be the last day of your life - you'll only be able to take this plane for once and you're done. What could you do with this last plane? Travel with it, take chances of doing good things in life, try your best to fulfill the things you want and love the ones who loves you.

I think i am a wise man in my past life hahaha

Stay happy! Count your blessings 💖

Gentle Bones live!

By pennylicious June 14, 2016 //

Gentle Bones live in concert on 11th June 2016!

Another awesome night,

thanks to one cool dude of a singer,

and my best friend.

Gentle Bones (Joel Tan) is a singer who produces self-written songs, marvelous ones, ever since the posting of youtube videos of him at the age of 16! It all started with a youtube recommendation of his music video 'LOST' and I fell in love with it. Slowly, he produces even more tuneful music that attracted astronomical Singaporean audiences! Good job Gentle Bones, continue to make good music!

the concert tickets

great splendid view of gentle bones live

hell of a great night with my best friend :)
