then it drops and catches like fire


Legoman smiles upon you

Hola internet people! Greetings. This particular month have been pretty intense. There were so many things going on, it’s like Sparta going on in my brain. I’ve tried updating my blog but all I did was to stare back at the empty white space and go to sleep, completely exhausted.

Despite the June school holidays being here, my schedule for the month was completely filled with courses and what-not and I got really really cranky by the third week. When I get cranky, the best option is to leave me alone and I’ll get better within 24 hours, money back guaranteed.


not much of a Polar Bear now

I don’t know what happened but Polar Bear changed colour overnight. I asked my mum if she purposely bought a different hamster and put in the cage for reasons unknown but obviously she didn’t. Overnight, the hamster has evolved into tiny cow. Still adorable and awesome though! I am still waiting for her to make Moo noises.

Candy and I joined the Clean&Clear Top Best Friend Models competition. We were required to gather as many votes as possible in a month on facebook to get into the Top 15. Miraculously, we managed to get into Top 3 which was something really omfg and unexpected. What was supposed to be a “Let’s just join this for fun and we’ll see how things goes” turns out to be “HOLY CRAP WE’RE IN TOP 3!” As cliche as this sounds, we both really appreciate every single vote and felt very loved. ♥ :D


After getting into Top 15, we had to go through an interview and only the top pair will be chosen for the next round. I was so freaking nervous and kept downing mentos after mentos to calm myself down. Imagine being told that we have to take pictures (sideviews and frontal) and come out with a 1 min video almost immediately. Whutttttt?

Nonetheless, I guess we didn’t do too bad with it. The 2 interviewers were nice friendly people and told us not to be so nervous. :P After the interview we even had time to camwhore with CS5 (!!!) The results were already in and we didn’t win. We’re fine with it because knowing that some people are willing to religiously vote for us every single day was good enough. The winning pair have to compete against other countries such as Thailand and Vietnam. I can only imagine how pretty and flawless the girls are going to be as compared to me and frankly speaking, I do not have the confidence for that. :(


CS5 at educator’s price wohoo~

Never thought I would ever do this but do support my bff and her sister’s blogshop HERE. If you happen to see my face in there, do take note that the mentioned-picture was unwillingly taken and posted. -___-


OWL OWL OWL HOOT OWL OWL OWL HOOT OWL



The other day, YY gave us vegetable snacks and it was so odd eating lady finger crackers. The whole pack was filled with vegetable crackers and it tasted exactly like how you would imagine a completely dry lady finger to taste like. o_o

Alright, I better head off to bed. It’s getting pretty late and I am definately going to turn up for tomorrow’s course looking like a zombie. Goodnight everyone and happy working/studying/slacking! :D

PS: Sorry for the random entry and if some things don’t make sense! I’m already zoning out!

one minute meatball

FOOD PORN


my favorite waffle in the world

Candy and I decided to skip dance class on Tuesday because we were too tired. Trying to pop and twirl and doing a body wave at the same time after a tiring day of work and 2 days of sleep deprivation is no joke. Instead, we ate fast food, went window-shopping, had some waffles and ended up eating a huge Mud Pie at 10 freaking pm.  I don’t know how we managed to eat so much in that few hours but we did. My thighs are in rage and I don’t care.

BOX BISTRO aka one minute meatball place

Ashraf and I refer to this place as the “one minute meatball” place. The last time we went there, I ordered meatballs and the guy who was serving us kept walking all over the counter with my plate saying “one minute one minute!” Needless to say, my plate of meatballs only came 10 minutes later but it was such a hilarious sight.

They revamped the entire place and it took all of my will power not to jump into their humongous playground. One day, we shall meet again, huge one minute meatball playground!

I had this sudden need for chicken wings


Ashraf peeled the meat off the chicken bones for me because apparently I am not skilled enough to handle fork & spoon and it was way too hot to handle. :P


Meanwhile, I took out the chilli padi and green chillies out of his insane Chilli con carne.


What else but BEEEFF BALLLSS


Sharing is caring. Have some peach smoothie.

Overall, the service and food got better and I will definitely go back there again. Besides, I still have the playground to conquer the next time I visit. :D

POLAR BEAR

Whoa, it has been almost 2 weeks since I last blogged. I am going to fill this blog with happy pictures of my sleeping hamster. I call her Polar Bear, my sister call her Sashimi and my mum named her CB (DON’T ACT LIKE YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT CB IS).


AWWW


AWWWWx2


AWWWWWx3


ARGH WHY ARE YOU SO EFFORTLESSLY CUTE?

A couple of weeks ago, we went to celebrate Shaista’s one year birthday at the SAF Yacht Club. The place was really cool with a nice pool and excellent view. You can look down and there’s huge sea urchins just a few meters under water. To be honest, I was super fascinated with the sea urchins than anything else (HOW CAN YOU EAT THEM OMG). It was nonetheless a good day with loads of uber food, good company and the birthday girl is probably the happiest baby I’ve ever seen. :D


Happy 1 year old, Shaista Ng!

Do you remember when you were one year old and everything is made of cotton candy and rainbows? T_T


I can has one boat?


WEIRDEST CHOCOLATE I’VE EVER EATEN. It’s supposed to be filled with tiny spaces of air for god knows what reason.

Up next are random pictures of sushi during lunch with Ili and Fatin last week. I am a terrible person to bring out for sushi because I absolutely do not eat raw stuffs. In fact, I am so paranoid about my food being cooked, I poured hot water over my prawn sushi to make sure they are 100% not raw. Thank you for accepting me for who I am, Ili and Fatin. Despite looking at me as though you don’t know me, you guys stayed at the same table throughout. Heart shape symbol for the 2 of you. ♥


My typical soft-shell crab roll.
I remembered Ilyana said this is sushi for the weak. :(


WHAT IS THIS FATIN I DON’T EVEN. THESE ARE RAW OMG RAW.


For the person who eats only fried stuffs for a sushi buffet

Last but not least, I am going to end this entry with another picture of Polar Bear.


It will kill you with uber cuteness

PS: This is by far one of the most random-est entry I’ve ever done but it’s ok because the world still goes on.

PSS: Go watch Robin Hood. Brilliant movie but I might be entirely bias at the sight of archery scenes and crest logos.


MY REDUNDANT FAVORITE SCENE LIKE EVER, EVER.

booooogz

Sorry I have not been blogging. Raymond E.Feist have once again taken over my life and confirming that if it is ever possible, I want to grow up and be a fire-balling magician preferably riding a golden dragon as transportation. Alas, one can only dream so much.

I met up with Ikana and Aisu last week. Honestly, I don’t think any of us grew up. We still behave the exact same way as we did eons ago but maybe with a little more body hair rofl. Ikana probably got a little more sluttier but we all don’t mind that.


Some Japanese Waffle thing


It’s oh so soft omg


And naturally, I would choose chocolate + banana :D


Ikana’s face of approval.


WHERE HAVE BLACK PEPPER STINGRAY BEEN ALL MY LIFE?


Obligatory Fish&Chips with cheese


Aisu’s face of approval


Our matchy set of bangles. EVERY TIME WE GO OUT, WE MUST HAVE THE SAME SET OK?

I also bought a dress with a  ridiculous detachable (thank god) red bow on the front. I can sense Ilyana rolling her eyes right now from Australia going, “dude, what the fuck is this?”


O RLY Owl shall distract you from my l33t cropping skillz, messy room and fatness.

And that is all for today’s blog entry. Sayonara~

here is some soup, you must eat it!

My sister and I finally made some Korean food after weeks of procrastination. We made Soondubu Jjigae which means Soft Tofu stew. You will need:


STUFFS: Beef, Prawns, Squid, Red Pepper Paste, Soft Tofu (d-uh), Shiitake mushrooms, Enoki mushrooms, Anchovies, Sesame Oil


RED PEPPER PASTE IS IMPORTANT.


Dubious-looking stock of floaties: 5 cups of water, half an onion, 6 cloves of garlic, anchovies and shiitake mushrooms. Only the stock and the mushrooms will be used later.


I ♥ Prawns


After draining out the stock and cutting the Shiitake mushrooms into small pieces, fry some beef.


Throw in the mushrooms with as much manliness as you can


At this point, my sister and I had no idea how much of the paste are we suppose to put in. My gut says 3 because it’s my favorite number.


Put in about 4 cups of the stock we made earlier on and add in the seafood.


When your stew is boiling, put in the soft tofu and Enoki mushrooms


Break the tofu into smaller chunks and boil. Drizzle 2 eggs and sesame oil, wait for it to thicken a little and you are done!


Best served in a bowl with cooked rice mixed in!

My sister and I were initially skeptical about the taste because we left out Kelp. KELP IS MOFO EXPENSIVE! We also used Red Pepper paste instead of the powder form. Nonetheless, I am going to be shameless and declare this a success! It was pretty good and makes you feel all warm inside. Between me and my sister, we managed to finish the entire pot which is about 6 bowls of stew and rice. HHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAARRRDCOREEEE.

Saturday~

Before I begin, I need to post a picture of the one of the most comfortable pair of boots I have ever own. The insides are ALL padded and when I first put my foot in it, I literally *gasp*.


My mum tried them on and proceeded to walk around the house and do the laundry with my shoes. OOOOHHHHH-KAYYYYY, can I have them back please?


Outfit of the day: Not a single tartan D:


I love this set of bangles so I got another set for Aisu coz it looks like something she would also wear

My Saturday was pretty insane. What was supposed to be a normal, typical day of gaming and movie with a bunch of friends turned out batshit crazy because Plaza Singapura’s Golden Village ruined it for us. Their Ironman 2 tape was spoiled and they had major technical problems. We spent 45 minutes in the theater being bored to death and Ashraf and I finished our fries that we were saving for the movie. Golden Village ended up refunding our money but not before Jesric went around taking fully filled popcorn boxes that people left on their seats. ROFLMAO.

Not giving up hope (IT IS IRONMAN 2 FGS!!), Ashraf and his friend went back home to get the car while Kian Ann, Han Lun and I cab over to Marina Square to buy tickets for the midnight movie. We ran all the way for the cab and dashed through the mall for the damn tickets. We finally got the tickets and sat down at a completely random place till the guards chased us off.

WAS IRONMAN 2 WORTH IT FOR ALL THE SHIT WE HAD TO GO THROUGH?

I would say YES. It was brilliant! I love War-machine and the ending after the credits was mind blowing. I went, “FUCKKKKKKKKKKK YEAHHHHH! OMG ARE THEY SERIOUSLY GOING TO PUT *THAT* IN THE NEXT IRON MAN?! WOHOO!” Damn damn awesome I tell ya!

I only reached home at about 4.30am with the dire need to pee oh so bad (I hold it in for 3 hours) and feet that were in so much pain (try walking in heels from morning till the next morning x_x). I have to admit that no matter how insane it was, I had loads of fun! All those running and wtf moments.

I shall end this entry with this.


Now if only the Labour Day holiday extended for like, a week more.

❤ Anniversary ❤

Warning: Do not read if vomit-inducing cam-whore pictures and extreme mushy stuffs is not your kinda thing on a Sunday afternoon.

———————————————————

Ashraf and I took a day off on Thursday to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. I can’t believe more than 365 days had passed. All those days where I felt like stabbing him with a blunt pencil…. gone. I kid I kid. I mean, it’s still not gone rofl.

We had lunch, ate take-away cakes in front of HellBoy, went ice skating, played Battlefield 2, watched Bounty Hunter, got free watermelon juice from Aisu. Yeap definitely not jumping on top of rooftops playing superheros. :P


A hot bowl of seafood tomyam


Tartan Tartan baby~*


Poser shot


Sims 3 expansion, Tronky, Maltesers, Handphone and little notes inside everything

If you ever received gifts from me, you would have noticed that “Hey, that is the same damn wrapper you used to wrap my presents!” Yes, I got them when I was working for Miss Selfridge. I really hated my foreign supervisor back then. One day she decided that the thousands of completely fine wrapping paper should be thrown away while she stood there playing with her nails and ordering people around. I took some and put it in my bag. Till this day I mourned for the rest of the wrapping paper I didn’t get to save. God, I hate retail. RIP paper.

Anyways, back on topic. Ashraf had liked me way before we got together. He kept pictures of me in his ipod, stalk me in Kinokuniya so that he could see me, his wallpaper is one of my pictures from my blog, check my locations IN GAME omfg etc etc. ALL THESE WHILE I WAS COMPLETELY CLUELESS.

On the 22nd of April last year, he sent me an sms after we watched a movie.

Too much I might ask, but I have to today, hope you won’t be frightened by what I have to say. Too short it might have been, but I assure you we’ll be worthwhile, coz all I wanna do is to make you smile. I promise to keep you happy, I’ll make us worth your time, I just have to ask – Naidatul Nadzirah, could I be yours? And would you be mine?

He was right beside me, smiling like an ass and I wanted to drown myself into the concrete floor. GUESS WHAT HAPPENED BARELY 5 MINUTES AFTER? Two surveyors approached us for a survey and the girl asked, “Would your boyfriend like to do the survey as well?” I wanted to murder her.

Needless to say, I kept quiet throughout the journey back home. He walked me to the lift, I gave him a hug and said Yes. AND I RAN BACK HOME BECAUSE I WAS SO EMBARRASSED.

I said yes because …. I like him too. I kept silent for a really long time because it was a delicate and complicated matter, one that involves someone I love with all my heart and soul. The first couple of months on the relationship was really hard but as cliche as this sounds, it was all worth it. During that period, I just started my job and it was really stressful. Some people were not happy with us being together but sometimes, you have to shut the world and focus on that one thing that makes you happy. Do not give a shit about negative things people say about you because at the end of the day, it doesn’t fucking matter.

The first time we went out together as a couple, I was too damn nervous. My heart was pounding outside my soul and I kept talking non-stop to keep myself breathing. The moment he hold my hand, I shut the fuck up and look away. Oh dear god, it took a lot of willpower to not break free and run away. I AM THAT TERRIBLY SHY WTF. While we were watching a movie, he kept staring at my face, holding it and just… look at me.

He would drive to my house and delivery boxes of tronky, McDonald’s  and sometimes, I would get a call from him and he would be waiting outside my house door to give me a hug. “You said you miss me. So here I am.” My usual reply would be, “I hate you.” *hugs* :)


Stay crazy and random always. I love you. ♥

This next part of the entry will be about hair. I am obsessed with my hair. I went to Kimage yesterday to get a hair cut and a hair treatment. When I say hair cut, I mean like an inch off because I am too much of a wuss to cut beyond my comfortable length.


It look like highlights at the top but in reality, it’s really damaged hair and days spent too much under the sun. T_T


PJs ftw


DAWN OF WAR POSTCARDS


YAY TO SIDE BANGS

Alright, I have to go get me some KFC chicken. You have to make use of the Buddy Meal promotion whenever you get to. Have a good Sunday everyone! ♥
