74 days of summer

Can't believe my summer is coming to an end :'( School starts for me in a week while everyone at UCL wouldn't be going back until like end Sep or Oct ... such is life. I've spent this summer mainly working, and it still feels really short despite having worked for almost 2 months but I guess time flies when you're having fun. Also I have accumulated way too much clothes but I didn't manage to finish selling all the stuff I don't wear so hopefully they'll be sold before I come back next year. Really going to impose a NO BUY ban on myself for real. There're no shops in Strasbourg anyway. I just have to resist checking the Topshop website for stuff. There's also no Brandy stores. And I have no idea how my timetable will be like but I'm hoping for long weekends since one semester is now 15 weeks instead of 10 weeks. But I'm pretty hyped for France and I can't wait!

Work 4

Tendered my resignation on Thursday :'( I am genuinely sad this time about having to leave I think this has been my favourite job so far!! Much regret thinking back about last summer when I had so much time and I just wasted it being bored to tears when I almost could've worked at TS. The call came like 3 days later gah. But okay anyway I'm still very thankful for the opportunity this year. Sighhhh time really flies when you're having fun :'( Anyway my last day of work will be this coming Thursday. Omg I don't want to leave T_T T_T And I think I'll never look at TS Ion the same way again hahaha :'(

Summer

I should really be sleeping now argh I have work tomorrow and it's the eve of a public holiday :( But so much have been going on LOL I feel like I need to record down everything before I forget them!!

Really unexpected good news this morning haha just as I was almost giving up hope ... Hoping for the best sigh I really want this to go well. Also went to submit my passport today for the visa so hopefully everything should be sorted soon. I had off days yesterday and today, and spent some quality time with my sis (HAHA). Went skating today and I had much better balance than Saturday omg Idk what was wrong with me that day I kept tripping over the toe picks!! But today I could (almost) do proper crossovers. Still need to improve and I cannot do them on the other side LOLLOL like I can never lift up my right foot Idk why. Am working the rest of the week (for 4 consecutive days) so I don't think I'll have time to skate anymore this week :(

Anyway I've been buying so much stuff from TS LOL it's really damn bad but I'm loving all my buys!!! Finally got a denim jacket thanks to Clare hahaha been thinking about getting one since London and now they have this new one in black washed denim so I gave in ... I haven't tried the light denim yet but I feel like that one would match better with clothes??? Idk I think I'll try tmr LOL omg my $$$. And I bought 2 pairs of black pants hahaha at first I only wanted one but then I tried on the other one by mistake and omg it was so nice. Anyway they'll be useful. And I'm still waiting for my Brandy DE orders to arrive omg sian what happened to no buy this summer .........

Okay anyway here's my daily summary:

Okay no wonder it feels like I've worked so short it's only been 11 days LOL but I'm clocking 4 more consecutive days this week ahaha okay work is fun clothes are nice!!! But sometimes Idk if I should be doing more for my summer .........

Work 3

Basically my life revolves around work now LOL. Don't have much to say but I'm just really really enjoying work for once omg!! Except when there's nothing to do then I start feeling super sleepy and yawning ... I mean there's only so many times you can rearrange the hangers neatly LOL. Also am really liking the fact that I get to wear all my TS clothes to work hehehe despite them from being past seasons because I cannot afford anything at regular price ... Think the only stuff I've ever bought at full price was the MOTO Aztec shorts, the flag shorts (only because ANZ days = rich days), the lilac tartan skirt (£36!!!) and some basic Jersey tops but those had bundle discounts too. And someone asked about my Rosa shorts today and it was a good thing they still have it in store hehe. Anyway HX came to visit today and just nice my deployment was at entrance so woohoo!!

In other news I also had some pretty good news ytd which I was really pleased about! Then I spent the whole night worrying about my French visa thing because the earliest appointment they could give me ytd was like 2 weeks later. It turned out to be futile worrying in the end because this morning when I checked some appointments had freed up so I was able to change my appointment much earlier. Still v confused over the documents and stuff because I don't have some of the documents I mean UCL just doesn't issue the same docs as NUS and all so ugh ... And like address and stuff. Basically, the letters and the address. Am going to try to sort them out tomorrow and hopefully things will go smoothly.

Oh and I was supposed to do my daily summary stuff otherwise I'm going to forget what I've been doing in SG so here goes:

20 / 1 Wed: No work / skating sesh 2 / bought stuff from Topshop!!! / Collected half my brandy orders from Janice ^_^

21 / 2 Thurs: Work day 5

Sigh it's like 30% of my summer break has already passed and I haven't even done ANYTHING proper yet and I still have so many people to meet omg :( This summer is honestly way too short T_T There are still so many things I want to do like I want to skate more and I want to work longer and I want to spend more time reading and just about a million things I want to do but I don't have the time. Also I really need to faster sell my stuff before I go back. Sighzzz.

Oh and I finally gave in ytd and bought stuff from Topshop's sale. I kept thinking the sale was really bad but I guess it was just cause I didn't see the nice items before that!!! I went to the Topshop outlet at JEM after skating and omg they had like so much more stuff and nicer too like the patchwork crop that I'd been eyeing since months ago. Bought the crop, my burgundy Joni jeans and a black formal blazer in the end. I really like the black blazer and I do need one too the only annoying part is that it doesn't have buttons so it's like an open blazer but the cutting is super nice and slimming!! Then afterwards I rushed over to meet Janice to collect my brandy stuff omggg so super happy with all the stuff I bought!!! Will probz do a proper review once I have time which is going to be a long time later. But basically I freaking love everything like all my new eve shorts and my Belle dress and the new tie dye Jada and my baby blue Sofia tank and even the scrunchies!!!!

Okay that's about all my life isn't v interesting but things have been going well this week and I really just need everything to continue this well please. x

Work 2

1/4 of my summer is over T_T And I've yet to accomplish anything besides all the admin stuff omg haven't even touched my violin once since coming back and I only went skating once sigh my time is all going to ... Work LOL. Anyway I had 3 consecutive days with one closing and one morning shift back-to-back T_T Then I woke up at 7 again this morning because I had to go collect my passport. Met Jieyin at ICA which was super coincidental cause we literally haven't seen each other for like 3 years?! Then I went back to Orchard to meet Ayano for brunch. We were trying to find this place called Pique Nique that was supposed to be located in Taka according to Google but we ended up at the Ngee Ann Management Office instead LOL. Had brunch at Paris Baguette Cafe in the end.

After brunch we walked around a bit and I finally bought tights so I can now wear shorts / skirts to work!! Tbh I hate wearing tights even back in London argh can't believe I'm still stuck with them back in SG. I meant to wear another skirt on Monday but the only pair of stockings I found at home ripped while I was pulling them on so I had to switch to a midi skirt at the last minute. But okay I haven't had the chance to wear it before so I guess that was useful. Anyway, work has been really really FUN HAHA I can't believe I'm saying this but I actually like it a lot. I mean it's CLOTHES EVERYWHERE and you get to rearrange them back in order and check out the new arrivals and hang them nicely which totally satisfies my OCD part with fashion. And the stuff are all complete in sizes and colours okay Idk how to say but I just love hanging the clothes back and arranging them LOL. And time really flies at work even though my legs are dying all the time from standing but still!! The only thing is that the sale items are getting quite boring and until now I've not seen anything I want to buy yet except for like one pair of Joni jeans in burgundy. But then again I have more than enough jeans so Idk if I even should get it. Or get the Easy jean from AA maybe?? Idk.

Okay I'm really tired now so I'm gonna sleep need to update my daily summaries soon before I forget what I've been doing!!!

Work

First day of work today and I actually forgot how tiring it is to work retail :'( Really supposed to be sleeping now plus I'm quite tired but Idk why I can't sleep. Anyway, point is, I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M WORKING AT (one of) MY FAVOURITE BRAND(s) NOW!!! Okay actually my all time fav now is Brandy so this will have to come in second but I swear I used to love it so much then Brandy came about and I got hooked HAHAHAHA.

Anyway, work was quite okay. It was more tiring than expected. And I felt very socially awkward so I just tried to busy myself with putting stuff back on the racks cause it's so awkz to just stand there and like not do anything?! Also I'm kind of glad that I shopped so much there before so I kinda knew all the product codes format and when they have sales and the promo stuff HAHA this is how shopping pays off ... It's basically research LOL. Super not used to the make up rule cause I never ever wear make up and like I don't even own a eyebrow drawer (??? What is it you use to draw your brows???) or a lipstick and only this morning I found this random liquid eyeliner probably from sec 4 in my drawer but Idk how to use at all. Hate wearing makeup LOL it's so uncomfortable hahaha but anyway I was told to wear a proper lipstick sigh I hate wasting money on things I will never use again plus I'm not even getting my pay until Aug. Sianz. Also realised the pathetic number of TS items I own now that I've sold most of them LOL. And I left sooooo much stuff I could wear in London haha this has been a year of bad packing decisions. But okay. I'll survive. I just need tights and I have so many pairs in London but none here argh what did I even bring back?!

My legs really ache now and I think all the standing is actually bad for my ankle sigh ...

Home

Finally back home for summer so I've slightly more time now. Been back for slightly over a week now, haven't done much tbh ... Feeling really lazy this summer, plus my summer break is really short so I wasn't intending on working or interning this time. Anyway I landed last Friday evening, so came back and had a really nice home-cooked dinner (finally) T_T Honestly missed my mom's cooking so much. Then I spent the rest of the evening lying on the sofa HAHAHA and feeling weird about being back. It feels like I haven't left yet so many things have changed so much.

Saturday was spent trying to unpack, and I listed a bunch of stuff for sale. Went out with the family to JCube in the evening for dinner then my sis went to skate. I was really looking forward to skating except that my ankle still hasn't recovered and it's been over a month already. This is the first time I've sprained my ankle so I don't really know what to expect argh. Stayed at home on Monday, then went to town with my dad on Tuesday, stayed at home on Wednesday again, went to town to collect some stuff on Thursday and met Steph on Friday! We had lunch at the same Jap restaurant that has FREE FLOW RICE (HEHE) and then went to the shops. Didn't buy anything and anyway I'm on a no-buy this summer because I have way too much stuff and I need to save $$$. And then my results came out on the bus home with Steph ... Sigh I also dk what to do, I guess I could've studied much earlier but tbh I really did do a lot more studying this year and I'd been doing consistent work throughout the year so I really dk what's the problem. I wish I could say that studying pays off, but no it doesn't it's almost as if studying has the opposite effect because I got higher for the mods I don't study for. I'm just hoping that these haven't been moderated yet and that hopefully they are going to moderate, but Idk. On the bright side I've improved by an entire grade band for both Use of French and French Oral, so I guess that's pretty good though I still have no idea how I did so badly last year ugh. SIGH. It actually feels a bit like JC all over again, like how I switched from Econs to Physics at the last minute and regretted and now this just makes me wonder if I should've stayed with IR in the first place. Consequences of decisions s i g h .

Don't really want to do anything don't really know what to do but still feels like I have so many things to do argh. Am gonna post about the Brandy garage sale soon been wanting to do that for ages so probably tomorrow!! And I really wish my ankle will recover soon it's so inconvenient to do anything gah.

Skating

I spent the last week at the Rink's LTS Holiday Ice Camp at JCube, which is basically a condensed version of their usual weekly lessons. It was not bad since I didn't really know the basics even though I could move about on the ice but I couldn't stop or skate backwards. Initially I thought I'd be taking lessons with kids but thankfully there was a group for older people like young adults and adults so at least that wasn't too awkward. We learnt the basics like falling, one foot glide, swizzles etc and I passed core 2 so that was good. Learnt a bit of core 3 stuff too but I'm still very bad with anything that relies on only one foot ...

Here's my daily summary for the past week or so:

80/01: Skating / food-hunting / disappointed in ridiculous expensive and disgusting cafe food so went to hawker centre instead / watched sis' ice skating comp

Can't believe it's down to my last 5 days of summer :( Been spending quite a bit of time at the rink hahaha but don't know if I'll be continuing this back in London. Also haven't started packing actually hehe but I don't think I'll be bringing over much except for my Brandy Melville stuff! Quite happy I've managed to clear quite a bit of my wardrobe recently but I've been buying at the same time too argh ...

Good Weekend

Simple but fun weekend hehe been feeling quite unwell lately so I didn't really feel like going to town or anywhere crowded. Idk what is happening but I assume it's probably the accumulated fatigue from work. Recently I've been feeling terribly hungry all the time and then once I eat I get gastric and indigestion so honestly I don't know whether I should eat or not (so I just eat lol) but the hunger doesn't seem to go away x_x I've been eating 1.5-2 times as much as what I normally eat and it's still not making me full because I get hungry again after an hour. I just hope this is another growth spurt and not that I'm becoming fat!!! That would be a nightmare. Also the dizziness and lightheaded-ness is coming back so I've been taking my blood pressure more frequently. It's still around the 100/50s and I suppose that's what's making me weak hahaha I don't deny that I am weak ... Hoping I can recuperate fast now that work is over I honestly just want to sleep at home all day every day.

Finally visited Steph today and got to see her dogs!! They're rather hyperactive and started barking loudly when I first went. They calmed down pretty fast though and Steph says I have a way with dogs yay ^_^v But the dogs are very well-trained too though they like to jump about a lot. I'm okay with licks but I would never let them lick my face haha. So super cute I love dogs but the 'rents will never agree hahaha aish.

Also spent the weekend updating stuff to sell / attempting to fold my clothes (but failed). It's becoming very difficult to find stuff to wear LOL. I swear my room is starting to resemble more like a warehouse rather than a bedroom. Lots of impulse purchases which I now regret and I really wanna clear space and at least get back what I paid for them sigh.

- - -

I'm enjoying the good times yet I can't help but to think of the fact that this is only short-lived. You always ask what I'm thinking of when I gaze at you, the truth is I'm just thinking, how lucky I am.

Lazy Weekend

I cycled 13km yesterday morning so I was pretty darn proud of myself. Had to run a couple of errands and the weather looked pretty good and I haven't cycled for ages so I guess I needed the exercise hehe. The route I took was from home to Clementi Mall, then I took a shortcut (by chance lol I guessed the direction) to KAP, then back home via the park connector. I swear the road along SIM/Ngee Ann Poly was hell-ish haha because there were so many slopes and the roads were uneven. Much to my horror there was also construction works going on at the bus stop outside SIM so pedestrians have to take a detour hahaha shucks. Took the other side of the road when I came back and it was slightly better except for a particular stretch which had trees right in the middle of the pathway almost every 2 metres so I had to get off the bike. It was also drizzling very slightly by then so I was trying to cycle away from the rain lol. But the good thing is that the roads were pretty empty.

Visited Artisan Boulangerie Co. at Killiney Road with MZ in the evening hehe. Rarely visit cafes because I don't really drink coffee but it was not bad I guess. I didn't order coffee though, went for English Breakfast Tea instead hehehe London has trained me well :> 

We got the New York cheesecake, raspberry lava cake and mixed berries tart. We were choosing between the fruit tart and the berries tart and the counter and the person kept recommending the mixed berries tart and it was the last one so why note HAHA. The crust tasted like cookies! I like.

Didn't go out at all today cause I was lazy. Lazy Sundays are good hehehe. Last week of work next week!! But no work means no $$$ HAHAHA. Been buying a lot of Brandy Melville stuff recently. I need to compile and keep track of my wishlist soon hahaha.

The night life ain't for me

Butter fac today, got back around 2am and very thankful for friends who drive ... I conclude after yet another experience that the night life is not for me. Seriously don't get how people can stand jumping about in the noisy and cramped space ... I think I was horrified at the crowds and the behaviour HAHA. Also the club was too loud for me, I get the same feeling like during CNY when the lion dance comes and they have the big drums and it makes me so uncomfortable like I want to throw up ... And alcohol burns my throat. Ha ha ha. Came back and mom was still awake and waiting for me, apparently she woke up in the middle of the night thinking that I was home and asleep then she realised I wasn't in my bed LOL. Complained to my mom about my terrible experiences with clubbing HAHAHA I am a weird kid. It was still a pretty good night though, very glad to have a chill OG even though I honestly don't know if everyone hates me for being so chill (in fact lazy) but well. Was also very shocked at a piece of news but very very happy for someone :> If it's not alright, it's not the end. 

Really really tired now and still contemplating if I should go skating tomorrow. I know it's national day this weekend but I really just want to catch up on my sleep. Also half regretting my summer plans because I wish I had a more challenging job instead really really regret not applying for the stuff that I really wanted and I don't know if it's too late next year. I'm still trying to figure out if it is really necessary to do an internship at all because being practical I have to work for my summer allowance and I know there's no way I could survive on an intern's pay ... What is the difference between a job and an internship anyway? What if I just wrote my report and reflections like what an intern does? I don't know man.

Still pretty annoyed that almost half or maybe even more than half of my summer break is over and I've not even started on any of my planned projects. I hope I can at least get somewhere with them before I go back to London. But right now I don't really want to think of anything else except the Brandy Melville things on my wish list. I was very annoyed that my ombré dress came back in stock right after I ordered a similar one last week. Notice how I used "my" instead of "the". I secretly want both actually, or maybe not so secretly but they're so similar. So annoyed at myself sometimes. But yes, these are the things that go through my mind.

Really need to sleep soon but I have to mention that this peeling gel thing works wonders so I kind of peeled the peeling layer off my nose HAHAHA. It feels somewhat raw but hopefully it'll be better in the morning.

I should skate tomorrow. And read some books. And study French.

Sales sales sales

Just got back from last camp meeting and so super tired. It ended around 11 so am very grateful to Alicia's parents for giving us a lift back!!

I thought I'd make it a point to blog more because time is passing by too quickly and I wanna keep track of stuff but life has been pretty boring but hectic recently. The highlight of today was that Topshop was having 20% off sale items so obviously I suddenly found the need to add some rather essential items to my already bursting wardrobe. Initially I was set on getting a pair of flats that got reduced to $19, the basic cami in cream and this super cute fluffy crop sweater in cream but all 3 were either not available or sold out in SG so :( Bought this heart print co-ord and a pair of shorts in the end!! Wasn't intending on getting the co-ord at first cause they only had UK6 left which the top was rather snug though the bottom fitted perfectly but it was too cute and comfy to pass x_x Don't even know when I'd ever wear it HAHA. The shorts were the high-waist single button MOTO shorts which I really love and they came in burgundy!! Been meaning to get a pair of basic HWS since forever and I really regret not getting them in medium and dark denim and now they're sold out :( The burgundy looked pretty okay and good as a basic plus it was only $23 after the discount which was practically a steal. So in all I didn't exactly spend that much and I'm rather satisfied with my purchases HAHA.

Was also delighted that my jada dress in brown rose print came today! 2nd jada in a week and still counting because I intend to place an order for Brandy Melville tmr after I get my pay HAHAHA. The first one that I got was the sunflower print one in cream which is super nice, I really love the material and the best thing was that the length was actually not too bad. I was slightly skeptical at first because it said 30" length down on the website but thankfully the straps are adjustable so it fits pretty decently. Buying one more next week off a reseller sigh this is where all my pay goes ......... So much for trying to clear my closet HAHAHA I think my rate of purchasing exceeds my rate of selling way too much and it ain't working hahaha what a joke.

Last day of work for the week tomorrow! Then camp haha shucks regretting not taking one extra day of leave but it's training week plus I actually need the $$$ LOL I can buy like a new dress or 2 pairs of shorts with one day's pay. I seriously wouldn't mind if any of my employers in future choose to pay me in clothes instead because that's basically where most of my money goes to anyway .........

6 weeks into summer

It's a public holiday today so I finally have some time to rest at home. And if you're reading this, HI AV!! Hahaha. Been terribly busy for the past 4 weeks since work started but at least I've survived half of work so yay :> Also been busy meeting up with everyone before they fly off again omg so many things and so little time. Camp is this coming Friday so that'll be one weekend and I think after that I should finally be able to take a breather hahahaha or not. Anyway, I'm going to continue with my daily summaries as a mental note for myself. I stopped previously at day 15 / 28 Jun so will continue from there!

Omg so many days of work looking up the list haha sigh but only 3 days this week because of camp on Friday. Actually it's not that tiring but just the time and sitting in the office ... okay I would choose aircon over the blazing afternoon heat in sg any day still hahaha. And almost half of my summer has passed this is terrible time is passing by way too quickly ...

On work

You only really start to appreciate things when they're gone. I realised how true it is this week while working, and that I really kind of miss working in ANZ. Sure it was crazy stressful, but I miss the high level of activity, the flexible hours, and most of all the people. Have been reminiscing the good old times with L, M and HX recently and we all still remember our V+ codes! Hahaha. Also the phones at my current office happen to be the same as those back in ANZ and the ringtones are also exactly the same so it's like everytime the phone rings I feel like I'm still back there. Really can't believe it's been more than a year already, time really flew when I was in London and now that I'm back it hardly feels like I've left at all. I think time is passing too fast but sometimes I really just wish for everything to be slower or even stop because I don't want to grow up so quickly ...

First 2 weeks in Singapore

Been a really hectic 2 weeks since I came back 15 days ago! Went out almost everyday + met up with people + shopping and selling my stuff + randomly meeting people in town LOL. I swear Singapore is so small haha I literally meet at least one person by coincidence every single time I go out. Like today when I rushed to Vivo thinking I'd just spend 5 min to check if they had my dress there I met Sherman with his friend LOL. Got caught in the act shopping when I wasn't even supposed to be out today D;

Anyway a short summary of the past 2 weeks by day/date because I'm meticulous like that (more for my own reference so that I can keep records of my spendings and whatever) :

1/14: Stayed at home

2/15: Met up with Pan at JEM / checked out Westgate / met Chuanling there LOL

3/16: Met up with the bro PJ for lunch / IKEA meatballs / library (need to remember to return my books, or actually start reading them)

4/17: Met up with Sun!! Orchard Gateway / shopping along Orchard

5/18: Met up with Ellis at Vivo / bought Topshop jellies woohoo / saw Rachel there hahaha

6/19: Stayed at home to unpack and attempted sorting out my clothes (unsuccessfully)

7/20: Home day again I think! Went out with fam in the evening to buy my portable chargers etc and binged on KFC for dinner / first time eating KFC in about a year or so HAHA I really hated the oil it was literally dripping ugh ...

8/21: OC meeting in morning / met Pan again at Orchard hehe went to get the tote bag from Topshop!

9/22: Home!! Dk what I did but I probably slept the morning away so that's half the day gone

10/23: Interview in the morning / met up with Carissa in town hehe / shopped Cotton On and after she left met Chuanling again LOL we planned neither time HAHA

11/24: Lunch with JT at NUS / walked around the medical centre / went town

12/25: Cycling in the morning along the canal / lunch with Elissa at Bugis / Bugis street didn't buy anything / shameless ootd-taking HAHAHA I only had 4 though :P

13/26: Cycling again / napped in the afternoon cause I was SO TIRED from the cycling / dinner with Jiamin and Annabelle at Ippudo / Sephora + walked around until everywhere was closed

14/27: Cycling at ECP with the IHall gang (3rd consecutive day of cycling LOL my poor legs) / Kallang Wave Mall for F21's new store opening and we all bought stuff (hehe they gave earphones!!) / Jap food late lunch at 313 with FREE FLOW RICE (my favz) and Jun Sean treated us all to Koi yay / more F21 shopping after they left / hunted EVERYWHERE for that dress which I regretted not buying earlier seriously so annoyed why do I hesitate. Found it in the end at 313 but only in size L but still bought it in the end since I figured I could get it altered ... omg I bought 6 items in all LOLLOL

15/28: Slept in until lunch cause I was so tired HAHA / Vivo to check if they had the dress but no luck / went back to Ion and literally bought the LAST size S for my pink rose crop / also realised it was the exact piece I tried on ytd haha but OMG SO LUCKY it was still there cause they didn't have it at the other store / pink sunset nice sky colour woohoo

AFTER 2 HOURS I HAVE FINALLY SORTED OUT MY ACCOUNTS FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS. I think London has made me somewhat OCD about my finances. BUT ALL IS GOOD NOW. 

Home!

Finally back after about 9 months hehe :> Still getting adjusted to the weather and everything, but quite glad I didn't get a jet lag as I fell asleep at 10+ last night and managed to wake up at 8+ this morning without an alarm haha. Feels really weird to be back though, my house hasn't changed and it feels like I haven't been away at all, and London feels like a dream now looking back. No plans for the weekend because I don't want to go out LOL and I need to unpack!! Sadly I had to come back without my dresses and shorts because my luggage was overweight so I had to take out stuff at the airport T_T Heart literally broke when I had to give up my denims and dresses because they were too heavy T_T Will also have to clear some stuff out and sort out photos hahaha gonna do up a Romania post soon maybe!! And find employment in the mean time ...
