Happy new year eve

It seems a little early to be wishing people happy new year, but i guess i would be sleeping when the clock strike 12. So happy advance 2010!

Goodbye 2009.
I was thinking about a new year resolution and i realise for the past few years, my resolution are all kept in this blog and not in my head. Sadly they were never put into action, i shall not let the same thing happen again! I need to make sure all of them were acheieved before 2009 ends!

2010 resolution
1. Work hard to win the 2011 Singapore Amazing Flying Machine Competition. Since i ve given up my internship for this competition, i must get something out of it.
2. Get GPA of at least 3.4 for semester 2.2. Tough la, but i am still keeping in mind my favorite phase, " Nothing is easy ".
3. Lose weight, it is the same resolution over and over again, i seems to lose nothing but gained many. My aim is to weigh 46 by the end of 2010. More exercise, even lesser junk food than now.
4. Getting plenty amount of fruits and sleep to improve my complexion. I give out on the resolution of getting fairer complexion. I will never achieve it so long that i am still working.
5. Getting a part time job in a Aviation related industry, preparing myself for the working life i am about to step in.
6. Saving up for Taiwan trip as well as a car! I want to get my parent a car by the age of 26. Work hard Yuan Xin! There are a lot of work to do to achieve that.
7. Cherish what i have instead of longing for what i doesn't have.
8. More love, care, concern and time for my grandparent.
9. Blog freqently! Increase blog traffic.
10. Pass driving practical in one attempt! My TP is in March, no more poles. All the best to me!

2 more days to 2010


Oh, doing project is so exhausting.
I was researching my part untill 3am yesterday and i still couldn't find relevant information for my part. Lucky Adrienne help me out today, at least i got a draft of everything out.
Now i will just need to edit them.
I seriously need more time =(
Yesterday Shi Li suggested that she could give me some of her time. If only it work that way...
I need those time.

Then i can spend those time sleeping zzzzz





I am confused.

Met BFFs for Christmas gift exchange.


Finally we squeeze out time to meet up. Shi Li is super free whereas Siew Ling and i are so so busy! Poor li, she must be real bored at home. She just left my place after painting her nails with the nail polish i gave her. Glad that she love it =)

We went Eastpoint Starbuck for high tea and went to walk around after that. Got myself a Polka dot dress. Super vintage feel.

I love this picture. =) We wore the same nail colour coincidently. Twin twin.
We always think alike and have the same taste. Love my BFFs.

Huggy. I looks like a tree here and siew ling is a koala bear. haha.

Did you realise my hair looks shorter and my bangs neater? I rebonded my hair again and cut it shorter. I miss my long hair =( My hair is a little curl in, not super straight leh. Think it is because of the length. But i love the way it curl inwards.

Siew Ling have to help her mum to work after that, so she just wore something simple and i was too lazy to put on makeup, met them after my lesson.
Only the nothing better to do Shi Li is beautifully dressed.



I am in love with Black!

Check this out!


We had our very first flight simulator session for our Air Field system 2 lesson today!

It is so so cool! All of us were so excited to play with it.
Feeling like a pilot! haha.



Flying isn't an easy thing! Or rather flying the plane in the flight simulator. I always cannot find the runway! Blur*

Loving it, looking forward to next tuesday Malaysia trip too! I love my course =) Always full of activity.
Hmm. What should i wear and how much money shd i bring. I was thinking about it during my lecture and i got scolded by Adrienne =.=

Stupid me left my favorite Helen hairband in the lab =( The freaking expensive hairband and it is my favorite.

School tomorrow!

My cousin Ping Ping finally uploaded those christmas pictures for me. Thanks so much.

Last saturaday we had an advanced christmas party in Pulau Ubin, my grandma place.
I was working in the morning and those are what i wear for work every weekend when i work- long sleeve top and pants.
I don't like tanned skin and over exposure to sunlight will give you darkspot also.
And long pants is to protect myself from getting cuts. But i still get cuts and blue black all the time. =(

We decorated our very own Christmas tree! The tree is so freaking tall, we cant even reach the top even with the super tall ladder and it cost a bomb to decorate the whole tree!

Having fun with the decorations. =)





Still busy working!



And finally BBQ time!

I need to get back to work! Project to be completed. =(

Merry Christmas!

Wishing all my pretty and handsome reader a merry merry Christmas. =) Without all of you this blog wont be here for so so long. You guys are my motivation to continue blogging.
Thank you lovely, who tags me often. I really appreciate those encouragement, thoughts, concern or just those random comments, they always make my day.

I spend my Christmas eve sleeping and Christmas working in Ubin, how did you spend yours? 6 more days and we are gonna bid goodbye to our dearest 2009. Although i had a major change to my life this year, i felt that it is way better than 2008. When my result sucks and everything were just opposing me. I love 2009 and i wish 2010 will be even better than this year.

To summarise the whole year.
(not in any particular orders)
1. The break up of my 4 years long relationship
-It is the most horrible experience ever, but i am much more stronger and mature compared to last time.
2. First job interview in my life!
-Although i was really nervous before that, i got in!
3. First official job with pay and CPF contribution
- I got cancelled twice when i was about leave my place for work, was totally devastated. But had lots of fun driving buggy around the airport and the pay rox!
4. My first time dating with some stranger.
-hmm, not too bad?

5. Gained the most weight in a year. 4 KG! That is freaking hell lot.
-Lost pretty much from the super duper busy holiday, hopefully i will win the lose weight challenge with Melvin.
6. Passes my BTT, FTT and had my first driving lesson.
-BTT 1 attempt, FTT 2 times. Driving lesson was so terribily exciting and fun. Love it! More to come.
7. Created my Facebook account.
-Facebook is so interesting, with so much fun games to kill boredness and you could basically find any living person on this earth. So much better than i expected.
8. Joined a walkaton(Deaf asso ERA) and a marathon(Aviation run)
-5 Km jog wasn't as scary as i thought
9. Celebrated my birthday with cliques, girls and the first guy i fall in love with.
-19Th birthday is e best birthday ever. =)
10. Swimming for the first time in more than 10 years!
Ouch, it hurts my muscles.

Woah i actually did so much thing this year. Surprising, it didnt even looks like it is just one year. More like 2 or 3.

As i browse through my blog posts i realise i am so different when comparing the first half of the year to the second half of the year. One with S and one without S. Do i look much happier? I wouldn't say i wasn't happy when i was with S, but being alone give me much more freedom to do things which i always wanted to do as well as having more time and money for myself, my family and my friends.
Having a partner also means always having to put him infront of everything elses whenever i make a decision. Sometimes even when it means having to sacrifise thing that i want to do.

The critical factors- being alone means that my emotion is more or less the same. My mood wouldn't be affected by another person, i wouldn't get hurt by anyone elses(cos no one is in my heart), i wouldn't have to spend my night lying on the wet pillow which i had cried my heart out, i wouldn't be left broken and lost in a bed of roses with torns which i choose to be.

That is how much i love being single. I guess i am having PRBP(post relationship breakup phobia)-I invented it. I am actually seeing myself being single for the rest of my life. There are no man on earth which worth my trust ever again.
haha. Sorry S, if i make it sounds like u hurt me so much.
It isn't that way actually, dont misunderstood ya. It is me, my heart.
Perhap another half a year more to get rid of those uneccessary emotions.

Good night people =)
Once again Merry Christmas

X'mas celebration


Went Bugis with my lovely poly friends today for christmas celebration cum gift exchange.

Yum Yum, snacked before dinner, didnt have lunch today.

Me, Jie Yan, Rui Yi, Adrienne and Daniel.
Melvin went for his army training and joined us later the evening.

We got bored while waiting for him. Bugis is such a boring place to shop at.

Then we went to eat at V8, plus exchanging gifts. I ordered black pepper Spaghetti and paid about $11 for the plate itself. I think it is quite afforable to dine there. It just lack of the ambient. But when everyone is broke, it is a great choice.



Disgusting challenge. I hate beef and Melvin hates mushroom! He told me to try the steak, so i told him to try the mushroom if he wants me to try something which i hate.

It tasted horrible la. Looks like Melvin hates mushroom more than i hate beef.

Melvin preparing the gift for our lucky draw!
We were all v nervous as we didnt want to get stuff we hates to get for Christmas.

Our expression tells everything. Like it or not. haha

In the end Rui Yi got my gift ( hope you like it ) =)

And i got Daniel's ones.

Haha. I am so lucky, i got a Hello Kitty notebook together with a cup.

Then we went to take Neoprint! I dont remeber when was the last time i took NeoPrint.

It was so fun but tiring

I still got Project to be done =( Gonna start working on it now.

Baking is a tough job!


Sorry people for the lack of updates! Been busy doing Christmas shopping as well as clearing stuff i want to do before this 2 weeks holiday ends. Made Cookie on Thursday and made Kueh on Monday! I always wanted to learn how to make those "oh delicious Kueh" my ah ma does, she has more than 50 years experience of making it!

So i told my aunt about it and together we made Kueh at Granny's place in Ubin.
Coincidentally, today is Dong Zhi, so my aunt bought some horribly ugly Kueh we made to the temple for my great grand pa, grandma says he love to eat Kueh. Hopefully he really get to taste those Kueh we made =)

Preparing to start our Kueh making!
Those are Banana leaves my cousin and i stealed from the roadside. haha

Grandmama turning flour into dough for the Kueh skin, using flame from Charcoal. She use charcoal to cook everyday. If i have to do that everyday, i would rather die! Gas is so much more convenient and clean.

Using a ancient glass beer bottle to roll the dough. That is granny's idea. She is so environmental friendly!

Next, used bowl to cut out a round shaped pieces to wrap the ingrediants in.

Using the mould to make the shape and the prints on the Kueh.

Pretty pretty. We didnt remove the extra flour on the Kueh! In the end it was still there when it is cooked.

Everyone busy doing, it was so fun! haha. It is more like our toy. My cousin were enjoying themselves.

Making them into different shapes and colour to distinguish between different filling.

And it is all done. =)

Need improvement on the skin. It was too thick! haha. But the filling were real nice, cos granny made them.

That is my sexy grandpa!

Granny said something which made me almost tear, she says we should pay attention and learn. So next time when she cant walk or passed away at least we still know how to make kueh to eat.
Sometimes i really hate myself for spending so little time with my grandparents. =(
Grandma and grandpa, we love you!
Thank you for being so patience with me all the time. I remember there was once, i helped my grandma with Kueh, and i drop a freaking big dough on the ground! When she saw it she was laughing away. Not a single sign of anger.

Our Kueh making eventually turned into flour fight, but she didn't told us to stop or gets angry. Just laughed and said we used 3x more flour than when she did it herself.


The Tang Yuan we made, i made super tiny ones so i can fit in 20 into my tummy. Those weird looking ones are done by my cousins.

Wonder what my aunt is doing with the ladder?
We are gonna decorate our v own real Christmas tree!

I am a half a Catholic, half a Buddhist. In another words, none of them. haha. But i do celebrate both their festival. That explains my Christmas shopping and traditional chinese kueh and tang yuan making. A combination of both is awkward at times, i am always the middle person when it comes to religion conflict between my parents, but the advantage is that, i get to experience both side of the culture.

Dalah, almost done. I cant reach the top of the tree even with the super tall ladder.
More pictures coming, will post it when my cousin send me.

PS: Sorry for the poor quality pictures. I didn't bring my camera along cos i stayed over at my grandma place after work. My aunt ask me to accompany her daughter, aunt need to go home.

What should i wear tomorrow? Christmas party! =))
