<3 Spring Break

Okay so this is long overdue but better late than never right? :)

I was back in Singapore from 17 September till 5 October and it was a good trip back. Here's a brief post on what went on during those two precious weeks.


- Just before I left, I caught Beyonce with Jo, Sara and Michelle.


- Supperclub and Loof with Nat, Andrea, Rachel, Bernice and some of Rachel's friends from La Salle. I went all over Orchard in the afternoon looking for something gold to wear to the supposed gold party, eventually ended up borrowing my mum's top and turns out, NO ONE wore gold when I arrived at Supperclub.


- Kong's birthday dinner at RTC.


- Mum's birthday dinner at the British Club. My bikini bottoms were falling off so I stole Ian's trunks and wore them over my bottoms.


- KP's birthday at Popstar City.


- Went to the F1 with Chris Kuhn.


- I <3 Nick Carter!!!

- Many high teas at Hyatt because I love them so although my ass does not.
- Many meals at Hyatt. The waiter at Oasis knew I always drink fruit punch, that made me happy.
- I managed to change my flight back to Singapore from 27 November to 22 November.
- Watched Fame, Coco Avant Chanel and The Time Traveler's Wife.
- Rushed to the Boss sale but I was one day early. Got it right the next day but the sale was kinda crap.
- Many games of tai tee with Dad, Rachel/Natty/Angelica and Ian. I won all of them!
- Went to the gym with Daddy and Angelica as much as I could. That's the only time I really spend with Dad and I owe it to him to spend at least a few hours a week with him.
- Had lunch at Crystal Jade Kitchen with Suyee and Michelle. We sampled all the mooncakes at Taka's basement.
- Dragged Mum to Taka to buy the durian mooncakes from Peony Jade. We ended up at Mandrin Hotel and we bought like 5 boxes of mooncakes.
- I finally found the white sleeveless ruffled blouse that I've been looking for! Yay me! It's at this new stall in Isetan called The Blouse Shop. I can't believe it took them this long to realize that Singapore needed a blouse shop! The solution to many of my problems!
- My Bakerzin pink champagne truffle mooncakes were sold out everywhere, I managed to snag the last piece at Bakerzin Deluxe at Wisma.
- Mum’s friend’s daughter Kiara came to visit from Sydney. She’s staying in Bali now for mission work so she popped by for a week. Rachel and I took her out shopping a lot.
- Spent a lot of time with my tv because I’m just that deprived in Melbourne.
- I was quite upset when I found out Fashion Bar closed down. I went looking for it at Clarke Quay but I never found it.

Overall, I spent a lot of time with my family. Although, my little sister is such a busy bee, she barely has anytime for her favourite sister.

Life's short so make the most of it.

Ok so back to the song two posts ago...

THINGS THAT MATTER (part 2)

She’s held on to that grudge all her life
And thirty years of anger
Since her dad walked out that night
She thinks of all the moments that he's missed
All the birthdays ballets first dates
That seems too much to forgive
She gets that call that said he don’t have long
She walks in
He starts crying
The past is gone
Things that matter
Things that don’t

Time ain’t on our side
Don’t want to leave this world
With why didn’t I?
Why didn’t I?
Yeah why didn’t I?

Let's analyze this, like literature! The 30 years of her life that her dad missed and all that anger that was pent up inside, none of that mattered. All that mattered was the present, they were re-united. "Time ain't on our side, don't wanna leave this world with why didn't I?"...life is so short, 1/4 of my life has passed already and what have I got to show for it? Nothing. 20 years have gone by so quickly. I remember when I was five years old, I would look at myself in the mirror and pray to God to tell me see what I would look like when I grew up. That seems like just yesterday, and here I am today, all grown up looking at myself in the mirror and wondering how I grew so quickly.

I spend to much time harping over the wrong that has been done to me. I hold grudges till I'm blue in the face. Enough! It stops here. It's not gonna be easy but it has to change. What's the point of holding on to all that anger??? There is no point! I have to learn to forgive. My life will be better and I will be happier, life's too short to hold grudges.

I really don't wanna leave this world with "why didn't I?". There is so much I want to do in my lifetime but so little time. From now on, I am going to do everything I can to enrich my very short life. There's no time to sleep my life away, I am going to get up and get going even if I have to do it all by myself.

Things I want to do before I die (in no particular order):
-Graduate from Uni
-Go skydiving
-Learn to play a musical instrument
-Take up a social sport
-Learn how to do the waltz
-Learn how to cook Peranakan food from my grandma
-Learn to appreciate art
-Increase my general knowledge till Daddy's level
-Learn at least one different language
-See the seven wonders of the modern and ancient world
-Go to Italy and learn how to cook from the locals
-Spend a month each in Greece, Italy, Spain and France (not just in the cities, but all the small villages as well)
-Spend a few months in the US
-Attend Le Cordon Bleu in France
-Get married and stay married till I pass away
-Have two children
-See my little sister Nathania get married
-Set up my own business

Those are the long-term goals but for now, I need to be more adventurous. The word of the day is SPONTANEOUS. Live a little. Just go with the flow, try something new? You never know where your spontaneity can lead you.

I've lived in Melbourne for half a year now and I've barely even seen 0.00001% of what this city has to offer. It's off to the suburbs for me, I'm gonna see all that I can see. Museums, galleries, beaches, gardens, mountains, etc...I haven't seen any of them since I've been here but that's gonna change.

This is the new me, I'm determined to make the most of my life. Will you join me?


XOXO
