HAPPY 2014 :)

To everybody that reads my blog, HAPPY 2014 to you!

Well, it may not be a happy 2013 but let's do our best to make it a happy 2014 :)

I honestly do not know what is in store for in 2014.

Before I start listing cheesy New Year Resolutions, just let me show you how I spent my last moments of 2013 ;)

Ethan told me that he is gonna be performing as a busker in USS for the countdown party. I had the idea of going there with le BFFE to enjoy some rides and all. As usual, we woke up late and arrived the island at abt 6-7pm.

Had chillis for dinner and went in.

First thing I saw on stage upon entering. (I blown up the pic so you can see better)

THAT'S RIGHT, MINIONS!!!

Upon entering, we were given a goodie bag, with a party hat, a horn and a clapper.

Me and my hat :P

After walking around a bit with BFFE, Twinnie and Babykins joined us.

Me and Twinnie had the same coloured hat.

We went to take all the rides available to us. As only BFFE, babykins and me have express passes, Twinnie took the single rider lane and managed to join us for every ride.

For the Wet ride, I didn't bring my poncho :) I simply went in without protection. I am a hero.

I wanted to see Ethan in Action, but didn't get a chance to sadly.

Met up with him outside USS.

Ethan after work and his messed up hair.

FUNNY FACES!

How can I let anybody spend New Year's alone right? So I stayed with him outside till it was midnight. :)

I went in to take more pics with BFFE, Twinnie and Babykins :)

Us in out Hats!

BFFE and me on the streets of hollywood :)

Told Babykins to take pics of BFFE and me, and there she was taking selfies with my phone.

After that, had to wait for my mum to get out of the casino to send us home...We chilled at starbucks in the meantime. I came with this crazy idea, of a new boob surgery...for koreans...HAHAHAHAH

BFFE said not suggestive enough...so I did the next pic.

With my tongue out...HAHAHA

After such a crazy night, I am really really tired. Adrenaline wearing off I guess?

Now to speak of my New Year Resolutions.

1) Train more for Karate.

2) Earn more $$$$

3) Excel in Studies

4) Spend more time with Family.

5) Find my soul mate.

Let's just hope so.

6) Reconnect with old friends and make more new friends :)

I am grateful.

I just have these few simple resolutions. I am going to do my best to make them all happen. What about you?

Cheery Cheers

Yes I dumped him.

I think in relationship wise, the chances of it becoming a "Forever & Ever" is very slim. Girlfriend and Boyfriend all ends with a "END."

Some end and become

Marriage of course.

But on the other hand, it can end in a different way.

In my opinion, in a break up, there is no actual victim. In a break up, both parties are equally sad. Both parties are the victim of the ending of a relationship. 

For my case, I think it was a right move. Was I sad about it? Yes I was. Did I ever doubt my move. Of course I did. 

But his after actions are what makes me feel like I did the right move. Well, He got a new GF after barely 2 weeks we broke up. While I was still here doubting my move. 

"If you love someone so much, your heart will always have a space for that person."

It really makes me wonder. The days where you say you really love me and I was the best thing that ever happened to you, were those real at all? I DON'T THINK SO. For all I know you're saying the very same thing to your new GF now. 

My friends told me I deserved better. I didn't believe it till now. Thank you for proving the theory of Friends first before Lover. My friends were right. I deserve better, much better.

I always thought you were a gentlemen,till I was proven wrong by your blogpost. You said I should have said it to you "FACE-FACE". Yes, I admit. I am a lady. I don't have the courage of a man to break up with you, in your face. What about you? You are a man or maybe not. You simply pour all your views about me, towards me on your blog. Did I make the break up letter public? I don't think so. 

I mean, c'mon. So What?! So what if you got dumped by me? I kept things private, but you chose to put it on your blog for the public to see. What are you trying to prove? I'm heartless for dumping you or that you were the best bf on earth and yet I don't appreciate you? 

The main reason that I broke up with you because I have expectations. Expectations of the people I date. All my guy friends treat me better than you did. After 2 mnths, you still didn't meet my expectations. 

WHY WASTE TIME?

I shall not waste any of our time anymore because clearly it wasn't working for me. 

You said you're open to being friends again, so am I. But then, your msges to me have proved otherwise.

Guess what?!...I PASSED!

Hey to all my readers,

Since the last time I posted was quite a while. This post, I have a good news to share!

I PASSED MY FINAL THEORY TEST!

Those who know and those who don't, I failed my basic theory THRICE! Yes, not once, but thrice!

For this final theory, I passed one the first try.

When I enter the room for the trial test, I failed miserably. Like 38/50 fail. I started panicking. I don't want to be like my basic theory, which took me a year before I passed. Thank God and Jesus for their divine wisdom instilled in me. I managed to pass.

One step closer to getting my license :)

 

CAUTION TO ALL DRIVERS OUT THERE WHEN I GET MY LICENSE AND HIT THE ROAD.

Wahahahaha!! Await my good news people!

Cheery Cheers

3 things a Gentlemen must have ;)

The blog title pretty much says it all. Gentlemens are the most attractive guy out there. Sure, you may not be handsome with six packs or something...

I'm pretty sure being gentlemanly has got nothing to do with your looks.

1) Gentlemen gives females the own space they need.

In a context whereby a guy likes a girl, don't cling on and never let go. Like seriously?! 

*NO, NO, NO!!!!* 

If the lady wants to walk, let her walk. If the lady wants some alone time, LEAVE HER ALONE.

That would be much appreciated.

Everybody has their own life. You are just part of her life. You shouldn't be her life. That will not be healthy for a person's personal growth.

2) Gentlemen never make their ladies stand.

Recently, on the mrt. I was seated with 2 guy friends. I was of course seated at the end of the row. When a old man came in, I stood up and gave my seat. What shocked me was that my guy friend, the one that wasn't asleep, he left me standing and talking to him while he was seated comfortably.

That was when I decided, Chivalry is dead in Singapore. Based on the behaviour of guys BORN AND BRED IN SINGAPORE.

*THIS SHOULD BE THE WAY!*

3) Gentlemen never keep their ladies waiting.

Punctuality is important but then again, Man should never let Ladies wait for them. Besides, what reasons do Guys have for being late? Ladies need time to doll up and look their best. While Guys just need to smell nice and comb their hair and they are ready to leave.

Something like this.

Guy's fashion is pretty simple. They don't have the additional choice of skirts and dresses. How hard is it if your closet is just shirts and trousers?

I pretty much think that's what Gentlemen in Singapore is lacking. 

Cheery Cheers

Reward me, Not Punish me.

This post is dedicated to all teens and parents going through a strained relationship.



Have you ever wondered, why your child would not tell you the truth for certain situations?

Have you ever questioned yourself?

When your child does something you deemed as "wrong" and they tell you the truth forthcoming, what did you do?

Did you say it's alright?

Did you thank them for letting you know instead of lying to you?

OR...

Did you chastise them for what they did?

Did you condemn them for their actions?

"Scolding is punishment"

If your child tells you the truth and what they get in return is a "punishment" would they tell you the truth ever again?

In your shoes , as parents, you know that in certain situations you cannot tell the truth. Be it to your family or at work. Simply because you know the response you get will be negative for you.

Same goes for your child. Teenagers are most certainly capable of thinking as adults. If telling the truth only gets them a scolding/nagging, why would they tell the truth? They would rather lie as it is the easy way out. 

*easy way out*

Parents, why not try this.

When your child has come forthright about something, thank them. Thank them for informing you, as an act of responsible. At the same time, be really thankful because you APPRECIATE the fact that they are honest with you. Yes, maybe your child has done something wrong/bad. But at least you know what they have been up to and you can intervene in a tactful way. 

Nobody likes to be proved wrong, nobody. Letting your child do whatever they want doesn't mean you have lost as a parent. 

You can definitely chastise them for bad behaviour, but not when they are telling you something that is important to them, the truth.

*Honestly*

Honestly parents, would you rather know what your children are doing or would you rather to be kept in the dark?

I personally think that being kept in the loop is better than being 10 miles away from it.

To me, cool parents treat their kids like friends. You don't condemn your friends for doing anything right? You maybe concern but you would actually RESPECT them. 

RESPECT their choices in life

RESPECT their decision for life

RESPECT the honesty you're given.

Treat your child like a friend by respecting the choices they have made.

Parents, sometimes being in the wrong and admitting it can be a good example for your children. They will learn that being in the wrong and admitting is not disgraceful. There is a Chinese Saying "不耻下问". Which actually means to not be embarrassed and ask from the people below you. 

In context, parents can admit their mistakes and even learn from their children. 

*Moving On!*

Now for the teens.

As a teenager, I'm curious about things at that I often question myself.

Are the things I'm doing now what I want?

Am I who I want to be?

Can I be who I want to be?

As for that I have figured out some of the questions I have. 

I want to be a food artist. A cookie artist. Am I doing the things I want? NO. I am doing psychology. No doubt that it is interesting and sets me thinking, but I'm not happy doing what I'm doing. I am the happiest when I create nice and good looking cookies and people cheer up upon eating my cookies.

In my sec school days, what I'm most fond of is the F&N class I took during sec 3 and 4. Of course my friends are part of my fond memories. That is simply because after I bake in F&N class, I would let my friends eat the food I made. They would have nothing but compliments for my skills and the smile on their faces is PRICELESS.

*Something like this*

 I don't think I can be who I want to be. Why? Because when I do something I want to do, and I tell people, they condemn me for it. Especially my mother. I can't even get support from my own mother to be myself, who am I to demand that off my friends?

Who I am now is actually what people want me to be. I am a people pleaser. I will change myself to let people around be happy with me and like me. 

But is that who I am? NO.

I can't be me and how can I be happy?

To me, it doesn't matter if I'm happy or not. But my happiness, depends on the people around me. 

Which is you.

Cheery Cheers,

This fossil shaped like Taiwan :)

Me and Le BFFE took a pic of this statue. 

We have no idea who this is...but since he has a statue of himself, he must be important.
