Which one do you guys prefer? I think I like the first book - the things you can see only when you slow down, more. It's just more relevant. As for the second book, it doesn't hit as hard though I think the illustrations are nicer.
1st Apr - 25th Apr. There's also two other audiobook I did not include - Homeless and The Bright Hour.
March Reads. Literally can't stop reading Chaos Walking bcos it was that good!

// 06 - Pam & KH’s Wedding //
Ahhhhh!!! Pamela finally held her wedding banquet after overcoming tons of obstacles this year (no thanks covid!) - she was supposed to have her banquet in May, fortunately she was still able to hold it before the year ends! I was the maid of honour AND the emcee for the banquet. God, Chinese wedding has just SO much things to observe and do!! I woke up around 5am, sort myself out and got to the hotel where Pam was at half 6, and started our day together. I was doing lots of liaising with the makeup artists, with the groomsmen, and Pam’s family members. Another bridesmaid, Adina also helped to do that. Sorted out all the morning procedure and departed to the groom’s place where we all had photoshoot, lunch and also a break! Then we have to get ready and set off to the hotel for dinner/banquet and it’s another round of buzzing about, this time with more people to liaise! 3 other bridemaids arrived (we could only have 2 in the morning due to covid restriction) and they helped sorting out some stuff, and I was on standby for emceeing! My first time emceeing for a wedding! Quite an experience, wouldn’t say it’s fun, more stressful than I expected honestly, but ofcos it’s an honour to be the emcee for my friend’s wedding and for her and the groom to trust me! Happy to be able to witness my friend’s big day and playing a huge part in all these! Happy marriage Pam & KH!
^ Dressed in pink in the morning and green in the evening! Didn’t take too much photos but I shall wait for the official photos soon!
---------------------------------------------
// 11 - Brunch w Yvonne //
Journey to the east for brunch with Yvonne! It’s a newly opened cafe in East Coast part (bearing in mind I stay in the north), it’s a big thing for me to agree to travel so far hahaha! The coffee was average - yall, honestly just how hard is it to find decent coffee in SG?! Why is it soooooo hard!!! Food wise, I wanted the breakfast but Yvonne thought of sharing so we did - fried chicken on waffle tasted better than expected. We were initially given time limit to dine but guess it’s not really crowded so we weren’t asked to leave. Ambience and interior of the place is nice though I really wouldn’t be bothered to do-it-for-the-gram to travel all the way just to snap a few photos. Anyhow, glad Yvonne enjoyed herself, and I enjoyed my time with her too!
^ waffles seems to be their cafe’s specials
^ Yvonnex2
^ Thanks Yvonne for taking such lovely pictures of me!
---------------------------------------------
// 12 - Picnic w HBLab //
The guys wanted to meet up so I suggested picnic bcos I really do love a good picnic but the weather is SG is often hard to have a pleasant one. Nonetheless, so glad the rest agreed to it and we all sorted out the food too! The cheeseboard was the mvp I must say, we also have sourdough to go with it, some fruits and cold brew! It was also Myo’s bday the day before so I got brownies, we all sang him a bday song despite his resistance hahah! We went to Botanical Garden early in the morning (10am!) and found a great spot where we could see the lake but later turned out to be a wrong choice bcos we were not expecting the sun to be SO strong that we had to change location! We were all just worried that it was going to rain but we all totally forgot bout the sun in Sg! Silly us!! Apart from eating and loud giggling, we also played games and having to shift out location again bcos of heavy rain! We were all pretty sunburnt by the end of it but I thought it was really good fun! Spending the whole day together and just chilling, eating nonstop! Thanks guys!! Let’s do this again next time, with sunblock obviously!
---------------------------------------------
// 18 - Hadz //
Monthly date with Hadz is always much appreciated! We had ramen which was pretty good bcos there’s not many halal ramen so this is great! More dining option for us next time! Then we went to bath and body works bcos they’ve got one-for-one so me being the best friend ever, accompanied Hadz to get what she wanted! Simple but always good time together! And always have the best selfie photos with her!
---------------------------------------------
// 19 - Belo w Jasmine //
Lunch with Jas and she brought me to one of her fav restaurant, according to her, they’ve got the best carbonara. It’s strange how it’s a really simple and basic pasta but it’s not easy to find good ones in SG. I ordered the meatball since I am avoiding dairy. Safe to say that this cafe serves good coffee, but the not really best carbonara (soz babe!) but it was great time w her nonetheless! She also gave me xmas present, I felt so bad not preparing any for her! Next year alright babe! Thanks for the perfect notebook and lip balm! Will put them in good use!
---------------------------------------------
// 22 - Boulder w CARE girls //
Went bouldering with the CARE girls, god, it’s been so long since I went for such thing! The last I went for rockclimbing was with Em, back in Newcastle! I know! It’s been so long! Anyway, MJ has got member for boulder world so we thought we can all go and have a try! It’s def more fun compared to rock climbing bcos it’s more about planning your steps and strategies! The same thing though, is that the scary part is when you are pushing yourself away from the wall and let go and free fall! It’s usually not as high as our eyes perceive but we are all scary creatures so it’s scary lol! It was fun to see some of the professionals there doing their stunts and climbing, it’s really interesting! And ofcos we all had fun too! Though by the end of it, our fingers and toes were all aching but it was nice to hang with the girls and do something different! Thanks for the good fun yall!!
---------------------------------------------
// 24 - Xmas @ Nika’s //
Got invited to Nika’s on Xmas eve for her xmas party! Ah it’s been so long since I went to a friend’s xmas party and I really enjoyed myself so much!! Received lots of gifts from Nika alone (4 earrings, a candle, a book and a mug!!), also had really yummy food cooked by her mum! It was also nice and easy hanging with her friends (felt like I am much younger thanks to them hahah) and we all had so much fun together! Totally should do it again next year!! Thanks for the invitation, the laughters, the gifts and the memories!!
---------------------------------------------
// 25 - Xmas w Yvonne //
Spent the earlier part of my Xmas day chilling before heading to city centre for Xmas light with Yvonne. Felt that we chose the right timing to enter the xmas light area - where we get sufficient light for photographs but also dark enough to see some of the lights whilst not being too crowded. Our first time/year celebrating xmas together and may many more come!!
^ The lovely sunset with the concrete jungle architecture and bit of the xmas setting.
---------------------------------------------
// 27 - Mum’s bday //
Had two rounds of celebration for Mum this year, first was on xmas day itself where we had her fav burnt cheesecake and the second was going for staycation! Dad prepared lots for mum’s bday and got her a massive and heavy bouquet! Glad to say she was indeed pleased! We all also had seafood for dinner and it was a really nice time together, spending time together before the year end, it’s great memories! HBD mum, you don’t look a day older than 50!
---------------------------------------------
// 29 - Dinner w Faye //
Bit of an impromptu dinner with Faye before the year ends, she also got me a few xmas gifts! Felt bad that I haven’t got round preparing for her (dec has unexpectedly gotten really busy so I am really sorry!) Dinner was great w her and really glad to see her and have a short catch up! Thanks for the gifts dear!!
---------------------------------------------
// 30 - Burger treat from Myo //
When Myo said he wanted to treat me a meal for celebrating my new job, right away I know just where to go! Ofcos I’ve to bring him to my fav burger bar right! Clearly we were in luck bcos they’ve got tater tots (the last I came with Dibby this wasn’t available). They also changed their menu, sadly not as much choices as before but the one I had - sombrero, was really good, a solid juicy beef burger with a mexican twist of guacamole, nachos and jalapeños! Was really glad that Myo liked the beef burger too, I mean if he don’t like my fav burger bar, that’s either problem w his tastebud or mine right? I take alot of pride in my recommendation HAHAHA. Anyhow, we had a really good time eating and chatting, as well as desserts too. It felt so nice having someone to spoil and treat me to good food (telling me not to worry bout the price!!)! Really blessed to have friends that are so supportive of me, and wanting to celebrate my successes in life! Thanks Myo!!
---------------------------------------------
// 31 - Appreciation lunch w BG //
Ending the day with a bang by having team appreciation with the BG team! This was supposed to happen weeks ago but it’s just tricky with 7 of us and the covid restriction, glad we managed to still have this with the new regulation and ending the year right. Was really surprised by our TL’s gift - gifting us Parker pen engraved with our names! Feels like it’d the pen I use to sign any important documents if I have any lol! And we all went round to express our appreciation towards one another and it was a really good end to this journey with the team. It hasn’t been easy but I liked our team dynamics and how we could really rely and depend on each other, tapping on each of our strengths. Thank you Team BG, here’s wishing all of us the very best for 2021!
^ Best BG Team ever!
// Phew, Dec was long aye! Thanks for reading if you made it till the end! Now take care yeah xxx
Death of a loved one. How does one move on with their life when it happens? It’s been 9 years, 9 years since the accident happened. And I still remember the events all too well. I remembered how mum rang me telling me to rush home, I remembered seeing bags of clothes packed by the door and I knew right away something is wrong, really wrong. Then mum broke the news to me, of course I couldn’t stop crying. I keep thinking about the last time we met, the things we said and what we did. I looked back at the pictures we took, not enough at all, and I felt so miserable. What sort of emotions was it? Denial, guilt, heartache, you name it. You were only 18, the age where you should be going to places, having adventures, doing crazy things, but not anymore. You lied so peacefully in the coffin, it makes me want to believe that you wasn’t in pain when it happened, were you? Do you remember how close we were when we were little? We always showers together, playing mum and dad together and just sticking with each other all the time. And then you left, you left a void in my heart that I don’t think will ever be filled again. You were the talented one, the prettiest one, the one with the worst temper too. We were growing so fast and too quickly, us being in different countries doesn’t help because then I wasn’t able to know you better as a person. I can’t point out what I like about you, what part of your personality and character I like. All I could hold onto is the memories we made in the past when we were children. Sometimes I wonder to myself, what would you be doing if you are still alive? Would you have went overseas to study like you said? Are you still doing dance covers and korean translations because you were so good at it? Will you still be crying over minor things? What kind of person would you be? All these questions I have, but I can never get any answers. It seemed as though you knew it was going to happen, if that’s the case, were you scared? What was going through your mind? Would you have change your mind and did things differently? See, I have so much questions. Every time I visited your grave, I will always have tears in my eyes, even after so long. It could be because I never really dealt with this grief that’s why, maybe after writing this I will feel better? Would we still be so close if you are around? Or would we actually dislike each other? I just wish I have more memories of you I could hold onto. I will always miss you no matter what, and wherever you are, I hope you are well, watch over me will you? I love you, forever, W.

// 06 - Cafe + Journalling w Yvonne //
Started the month off by bringing Yvonne to my fav cafe for some good food and also to do journalling together! I am so glad she enjoyed the food thoroughly and she was so happy that we get to stay in the cafe for HOURS where she did her travel journal whilst I managed a moodboard in my bullet journal.
Great time spent together! We gotta do this more!! Hehe!
La Ris’s food and coffee hasn’t failed me at all! They just have such great food and ambience, though it’s small and crowded, it’s quiet and comfortable at the same time. I enjoyed the food so much despite my gastric :’)
------------------------------------------------
// 07 - Advanced bday celebration for Faye //
Had an advanced birthday celebration for Faye and since it’s her day, she decided to go to this floral theme cafe - Cafe De Nicole’s Flower in the East, I dread travelling far but anything for the bday girl! It was really hard to get there and really crowded! There’s a line infront of us and instructions wasn’t given clearly (we didn’t know we don’t have to queue if we wanted outdoor seats). Anyhow, we waited and got a table indoor, each table is only allowed 1.5hr to dine (which was absurd really). Teas and food arrived - was not impressed at all given the price I paid and and the portion, it was really underwhelming, also it did not taste that fantastic. Guess it’s really the hype about the flowers?
^ Interiors was nice but wouldn’t say it was WOAH. Food was average.
But ofcos, it was good time spent with the bday girl, just talking bout life and the stresses we have! Here’s to more exploring of better cafe next time! Also hope you liked the simple gifts I got you! Sorry I haven’t got enough time to prepare!! Happy 26th!
^ OOTD outside the cafe whilst waiting. Also almost everyone who visited the cafe were ladies hahaha, I am glad I am not a flower kinda person.
------------------------------------------------
// 14 - Diwali @ Nika’s //
It’s the time of the year for Diwali or Deepavali! Nika invited Walter and I to her place and we had such an amazing time eating all the good food and just have good laugh! Thanks for the invitation!
------------------------------------------------
// 16 - Monthly date w Hadz //
Simple dinner date at Yishun, having seoul garden hotpot bcos that’s one of our go-to and it’s so suitable for the weather hahaha! It’s always nice and chill with my closest ones!
------------------------------------------------
// 18 - Lunchie w Ally //
Finally got the time to meet Ally! The last we met was in Jan where we went for Eric Nam’s concert! Been saying to have a catch up soon but she’s busy with studies/business and I am busy with studies/work. And now finally, she’s having her semester break and I am done with studies/internship! We met nearby (perks of staying near each other)! Funny and sad that we were both having gastric issue so we ordered a burger to share! I finished my portion and she still left abit lol! We really need to take better care of ourselves! Let’s both take care and then we can go explore nicer food yeah! But anyways! Still so glad to meet and catch up!
------------------------------------------------
// 26 - Impromptu w Dibby //
Alas, ending the month right with an impromptu lunch date with Dibby! Went to PS Cafe which is known for their truffle fries, and Dibby being the greatest fan of fries, ofcos we gotta have that! Their service was good, the food portion were all great and really good quality I must say! The price make sense too! Overall we were both really pleased, esp with the truffle fries!
^ Can’t miss a good full length mirror right girls?!
Love that we tried to make do with the environment and managed to take full body shots! We also went to Sephora for their Black Friday sales! What happened to me telling myself I wouldn’t buy anything? But really, the sales was really good deals and I bought skin care that’s necessary! Can’t believe we spent an hour there! But we were happy with our purchase!!
^ This girl is honestly SO sweet! Like she treated me to lunch and got me these as my masters graduation gifts?! What did I do to deserve her! Thank you so so much! Massive love for these gifts and for you too!! Love love love you my sayang!!

// 02 - Friday with Jacky //
Started the month right with a Friday out with Jacky. He was clearing leave and I was WFH so we thought let’s go for pancakes! The first two times we came it was wayyyyy too crowded and we didn’t want to wait but third was the charm! We only waited for around half an hour and we got chicken + waffles and the pancakes. Needless to say, both were amazing!! In between that 30 mins, we visited a bookstore and I got A Monster Calls for only $4! After which, we walked from bugis to funan and back to bugis bcos we were hunting for gifts, it was successful and we both got something for ourselves too. Went back to Woodlands for food. It’s been a while we both went out on a weekday and it just felt so different, a good way ofcos!
-------------------------
// 08 - Dinner w Kaili //
Impromptu with Kaili always works! So happy she agreed to have curry rice with me and I just simply love the salmon curry rice from Monster Curry! Their curry is top notch!! It was a simple yet much needed catch up! As always! Thankful for her always!
-------------------------
// 09 - Dinner w Nika //
We are both proud of announce that we are now Masters of Counselling!! Finally submitted all of our assignments and documents required to clear our practicum!! So chuffed that we made it through!! Honestly 18 months felt like it passed so quickly?! Thankful to have met her, Walter and Gia through the course and hope we all will keep in contact!!
-------------------------
// 10 - Bday celebration for Hadz //
Advanced birthday celebration for Hadz, who is turning 27 this year! Thought it would be a nice change to do picnic at Marina Barrage but the weather was not helping at all! It drizzled the entire afternoon so we decided to just sit in the shelter instead. We got lots of finger food but we both couldn’t finish them bcos we really are not big eater, we also played card games (exploding kittens) and honestly I am just so bad with games lol. But it was such a good time together! I got her a bag and bakes (banana loaf, teh tarik cheesecake, brownies), another gift is on its way so gotta wait till next meet up!
Love that our pictures will always turn out really nice!
Happiest 27th my person! x
-------------------------
// 13 - Dinner w Meiling //
Meiling finally had the time to have a meal together with me! Bless her, she’s been so caught up with work as many of her colleagues has left the company. Though we stay so near each other, I haven’t seen her around at all! It was great being able to meet nearby and have a catch up! Hope it all goes well for her! I will keep all my fingers crossed for ya!
-------------------------
// 17 - Zoo w Jacky //
Wanted to do something together but really running out of things to do since Sg is so small, but I am always down for animal related stuff! Decided to go both River safari and the Zoo on a Saturday and we were SO blessed by the weather! All the Saturdays in Oct were rainy except the one we went out!! Though, not gonna lie, it was BOILING I thought I was gonna have a heatstroke soon hahaha I am not kidding!! It was proper hot, on top of having to wear a mask, it’s just tough. It was quite crowded at the Zoo actually, some of the exhibit were closed too - Jacky didn’t get to see the penguins he wanted. Nonetheless, it was still great to be out and about, sweating soooo much but good fun, good fun!!
^ fishes and panda Jiajia were spotted!
Selfie time!
^ I love animals! We need to really do a bigger part in conserving our environment!
-------------------------
// 24 - SEA Aquarium with En //
Another Saturday with fishes, but this time round with En, to the SEA Aquarium! She was sooooo sweet to drove to mine and pick me up, we then had breakfast and went to the aquarium! Took us a while sorting out parking but it was all good eventually. We also had a good time at the aquarium and chilling at starbucks! Thankful that it was always easy together, and also hoping things gets better soon! Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
^ Were so lucky to see 8 dolphins!!
-------------------------
// 30 - Dinner w MSL xoxo //
Also another impromptu dinner with the MSL girlies! I’ve met them individually and haven’t got the chance for group meet up! Finally did it! Despite the fact that we all stays in the same area! Hahaha! Happy for Jiekie on starting her Masters in public health too! Great time girls! Pls lets do this more often!!
-------------------------
Epilogue
Unfortunately due to Covid, there wasn’t any physical book sale this year, so I waited for this online book sale to happen! And I did controlled myself not to get too many books bcos I still have lots I haven’t read. The down side bout online booksale is that you can’t browse through them one by one, so it’s a hit or miss kind of thing. I would say most of the ones I got seems promising, and now that I’ve a lil’ more time on hand, let’s read more! I said that, but it’s not as though I am not reading enough. LOL. But yeah! Let’s read more guys! It’s really good for your mind!
Hope yall enjoyed this month’s summary. Take lots care xx

This book took me longer than expected to finish because it’s actually quite slow pace but each chapter is not that closely related so that’s alright. I’m not really sure how to think of the ending though.
HOW TO GIVE A GOOD PEP TALK
• Be Genuine always make sure you mean what you say to promote self-belief in that person
• Pay Attention listen to what’s stressing them so you can suggest relevant guidance
• Empathise recognise and acknowledge what the person is feeling and share their concerns
• Motivate remind the person their previous achievements and encourage them to try again
• Always Affirm provide examples and remind them of their ability and capability
• Communicate Clearly give clear and concise direction
• Don’t Patronise don’t overdo or go overboard when trying to motivate
• Be Realistic continue to give support and offer encouragement even if things doesn’t turn out as well as expected
LIFE AS IT IS NOW
Honestly where has all the time goes? How are we already in July? Wow! Shall we do a quick update bout my life right now? Feel like most people would already have known how life has been but I do what I want haha!
I’ve started going to a chiropractor since end Jan. How I decided to go was simply because 1) I’ve been wanting to see if chiro can help with my stiff shoulders (which I know is clearly due to my work nature), 2) if it can help with my knee pain at all. Really pretty random and all, but I went for the xray, and found out that my spine is shifted to the left, and my pelvis is tilted to the left too. Meaning my weight has been on my left side, this explains why my left knee has always been giving me issues. Fast forward, I decided to sign up for the 12-month treatment plan (costed a bomb I’m telling ya), but I’ve been feeling SO much better ever since! The pain in my knee has clearly reduced by a lot! My hands don’t get numb that frequent too, and in general it just really helps with my overall mental and physical health. I just feel so much happier, and positive. So yes, sometimes things are expensive for a reason. I know some people think chiro is “fake science” but well, it helps me so yeah!
I also passed my driving in end March!! WOWZ GURL! Can I just show off that – I learned manual driving & I PASSED THE FIRST TIME! Yes, give it me!! Took me a good 5 months getting through the practical lessons, which I attended religiously – thrice per week. Its quite an adventure for the actual test because, it was POURING heavily. When I say pouring heavily, I meant it. Just imagine sitting in the car, behind the wheels, and having people pouring piles of water onto your car, can you see well? NO. The entire car was wet, it just makes driving, parking and everything so much harder. I only managed to pass borderline.. BUT HECK! I did it, and I’ve been driving as frequent as I could. Bless my dad for letting me to drive the car, and not scolding when I accidentally scratched the car. But honestly, I am really proud of myself, as you guys know, driving manual really hurt my bad left knee, but I did it. I just enjoy driving very much, it really takes your mind off everything where you could just focus on the road and enjoy the ride! Bit too early to be saying this, but I can’t wait to get my own car in the future!!
ALSO, in March, I CHANGED JOB! Gosh, so much was happening!! Long story short, I had been looking for jobs, but decided to stop and to stay in that lab, because I thought it’d be easier for me to be in a comfortable work environment, and then focus on my studies. But after I went for my last interview, the interviewer actually recommended another job opportunity to me and I went for it. I had lunch with the postdoc, and subsequently she offered me the job. It was so simple I couldn’t believe it? But she hired me because I like doing animal work (which happens to be my forte too), and if we do an internal transfer from my then lab, to the new lab, the process would be a lot faster. Also my contract with my previous lab was also ending, and since they haven’t said anything about renewing, I decided to just not renew. Partly also because I was done with the environment and the people. I know although I said it’d be wiser to stay in the previous lab and focus on my studies, but then opportunity don’t just come to you right? I’d be silly if I haven’t accept the offer. As an opportunist + optimistic person, I just gotta grab it, and wing it, right? Like I always do! And I’m not doing a bad job now either. So I’m pleased! :D
April this year has been NOTHING BUT AMAZING! Firstly, I went to Taiwan with Dibby (shoutout to this amazing darling!), and we had such a good time! Literally, we didn’t rush for anything, we slept, we wake up, we took our time dressing time (and making sure to compliment each other), had yummy food and took SO much videos and photos!! This trip was soooooo memorable I don’t think there’s anything I’d wanna change! You know when you travelled with the right person, and everything fall in place? That’s how it was. Really glad to share my love for Taiwan with someone so precious too! More trips next time maybe my love?
I’m not usually the kind to look forward to my birthday very much, other than hanging out with all my amazing friends, to spend good quality time together. But this year, I was properly looking forward to it. Or rather, I was just in a really good and happy mood to meet all my friends. Not kidding, I actually celebrated my birthday EIGHT times this year. HOW? Gal I have no idea!! Hahaha! Not to even mention my friends who are residing in Malaysia/UK! Can you imagine that! I guess a huge part about meeting them, is how I am able to gain energy from them, and I really enjoyed that. You guys know me, I’m a total extrovert who really love socialising and gaining energy or good vibes from people, so yes. I felt so much love and blessing from people around me. Them taking the time out to sort out my birthday presents and spending it with me, it really mean a lot to me, I’m so so grateful for everyone :’) This year’s birthday was AMAZEBALLS!
I also started my Masters in April! First module – Introduction to Mental Health Issues. I think it was a right choice to have this as the first module, there are science involved, therapies involved, and abstract ideas/concepts (not sure if abstract is a good word choice but you know). Slightly overwhelmed by how much reading I’ve gotta do initially, but I adapted to that afterwards. I actually really enjoyed all the readings! They are very different to what I’m used to, scientific journals, and it’s a good change! All these readings/videos really provoke my thinking and I felt like in just a short span of time, my thinking and mindset has changed, not drastically no, but just some minor changes you know? Its hard trying to think of an example now, so let me get back to you next time! Also, we had our first face to face intensive lectures in May. I met all of my classmates (only 12 of us) and they are all so friendly and nice! We’ve a good diversity of age, background, nationality and ethnical group! So its really nice speaking to each of them, and whenever we have any discussion, its always nice to hear different perspective and mindset from them. They ask really clever questions too, questions that I feel people our age wouldn’t have thought of it. So yes, I am really glad it was easy to get along with them! Lecturer was really nice too, he shared many interesting stories he personally encountered and really gave us great insights of being a counsellor. 4 short but intensive days of lectures were really fruitful and I learned so much!!
May and June haven’t been happening. As July approaches, I’ve ended my first module, and now on Counselling Children and Adolescents – which is the module I was most looking forward too! And I can’t wait to learn all about it! Fret no, I will share whatever I’ve learned with you guys if I think its worth sharing!
Pretty much that’s all now! Feel like SO much has happened isn’t it! Really really glad I’m where I am now! Thanks for reading such a long passage!! You guys know I can get really lengthy because I’m just someone like that! Haha, alright alright! Till next time then lovelies!!
