Guess?
Whilst over supper at Orchard Towers with Clarissa last night. Now, if I got a dollar for every time I laughed… Life would be perfect.

Day Walker Talker: Lost In Translation →
daywalkertalker:
It’s a shitty, rainy day here in Manhattan and for the first time in a while I decided to stay shacked up in my office and have my lunch delivered to me. Little did I know that a mere 83 minutes later I’d feel terrible about myself and ultimately my decision making.
12:55- My stomach emits a…

Just overflowing with magical abundance… Extremely lucky that Justina’s fridge is able store my excess crap. I would share what I have been consuming, but somehow there is a lack of approval of which I used to seek from people. Feeling good after a forty minute jog, despite at a continuously lackluster speed, slowly working myself back into shape. Come on, come on!!!!

Infinite plans for Recess Week… All academic and zero social. I could probably start a checklist here, but you would scoff, because no one is capable enough to engulf and process that much information in such a short amount of time. Maybe perhaps with some help.
Got on track last night, though slightly, continued my Sarong Party Girl-esque expository/self-reflection for my ‘On...

Squeezed in a good eleven hours of rest last night, after slothing around in darkness the entire day. Blinds down. Screen dimmed. Air conditioning on full blast. Swimming in my silk sheets. Getting a bit too old to be wasting an entire day like this. Or exams are coming a bit too quickly. Mid-terms are just next week, if I had any… Gloating over the fact next week’s a free pass to...

C: I miss cleaning up your room. N: Wtf, Carolyn? C: Yeah! The first thing I want to do when I get back to Singapore is to clean your room up for you!!!! Saturday morning, with a spinning head and a five hour time difference. What I would do to have last semester on replay…

I have been refuting inclinations to write an emotionally driven post on this space, on the grounds of petty judgement passed through causal skimming and being thrown into a undesired category. With an extremely superficial reason and word ‘bimbo’ ricocheting through my mind, I shall reveal that my nails are dying, limiting my ability to attack my readings with the usual rainbow...

Exchanges
Slipping into yet another chapter of school life, probably one I should have taken from the beginning. Quite enjoying the empty spaces during the day spent unproductively, especially the nights of weekends, with regular congregations in my room. My thoughts are incapable of translating into words, unlike mimesis, but there is still a sizable margin for error. Still unsure of my resolutions for...

Determinism
This week marked the beginning of tutorials, of which, this module I surprisingly enjoyed the most. So, how should I take it from here?

In a pure moment of haste, or a day of reckless abandonment (I do get mentally exhausted thinking rationally sometimes) I decided to drop my Introduction to Communications & New Media module on Thursday, and begged my way into a Japanese Studies class. Well aptly named Itadakimasu - Food In Japan, it seems that finally I will have a class with high chances of securing an ‘A’...

Humour
“But wait wait wait… M&M’s are too mainstream. I bet I could do that with some Snickers.”
N: Are you going to eat that? P: Well, DUH. I’m not wastin’ it.
P: Well anyway, yes I like Britney Spears. N: Thank you! P: Why you saying “thank you for”? Not like you’re her. N: But everyone else I know likes Christina over Britney. P: Pssssh,...

Enclosure
Spent my last free Tuesday (before tutorials begin) at the Zoo with Clarissa, despite our original plan of a Zoo-cum-Science-Centre excursion, where I somehow ended up at Tiong Bahru Market awaiting her arrival for a late breakfast (I blame my alarm clock for failing to ring) and herself parked at Ticketing and searching around for me… After repeated attempts at photography with a...

Me: How much did you like this boy?
Her: How does one measure such things?
Me: “Meh,” “Considerably,” “A lot,” “I LOVE HIM SO MUCH I WANT TO WEAR HIS SKIN.”
Her: Between three and four.
Infinity, baby!

First
Returned to Clementi today and spent a good amount of the day unpacking and running errands… Like making a trip down to The Clementi Mall for Aussino, just because I left my bedsheets at home. But that turned out stellar, since the boys accompanied me and (once again) I coerced my friends into eating something I really wanted — dim sum at Crystal Jade! Anyway, normal jokes and bullying...

Last ditch attempt to fully utilise the extra facilities at home, which is essentially, the kitchen. Made a triple truffle Colby grilled cheese sandwich for supper; and by triple truffle, I mean truffle oil, truffle carpaccio, and truffle mustard. Not that the truffle bits in the mustard stood out at all, such a gimmick come to think of it. Sigh. But I do love whole grain mustard in my grilled...

Tackled my war zone of a room today, only through necessity, by having to pack the ‘essentials’ into suitcases in preparation for my move back to Clementi. By ‘essentials’, I really mean lots of clothing, shoes and jewellery for ‘options’, together with a fraction of the skin care and makeup I’ve hoarded… And food: fresh, processed junk and a nice...

Interlocking
New bag for a new year! Something from the Cruise collection this time, to replace my 2.55; which has since been hidden within the deepest darkest depths of my closet after a horrendous dye job, which transfigured the lambskin to an unrecognisable lustre… And thus deemed useless. Well, time to start packing up again. Moving back to Clementi on Thursday!

Oh boy, realisation: Now that the Russian’s back in America, who else will assist me in occasional cleaning, occupying my free time with jokes, and traveling all the way to campus with me during shitty weather when YTF cravings hit?! :(

Made myself a reward this morning for being awake before 7am, and I actually managed to get a decent six hours of sleep prior to that. Anyway, plans for today look mildly bleak, with the exception of dinner. Funny how I finally have numerous things to post about for once, like my holiday, and the ridiculous amount of stuff I bought… Or my Sims 3 house I built… Or all the online...

Cooperation
Glad I managed to pull myself out of bed, well the incentive of food did rather. After accompanying Ili D to the doctor’s, my powers of persuasion, or her willingness to give in to me, rather, brought us to one of my favorite places to dine.
Can’t say that this space is getting any more exciting… It seems that all I have been doing of late is just eating. School is commencing...

Just awoke at the ungodly hour of now, after an extended supper date last night with Clarissa that stretched into the wee hours of the morning. I could say that we did have our usual bit of thrills, though this time through ascending and descending the floors of Orchard Towers at suspicious times; and faintly resembling their dress sense, but only through the similarity of heels. “Just...

Took a trip down to The Tavern at River Valley for dinner, and chintzy tablecloth aside, the meal was perfect. The dim lighting and unappealing visual presentation did not deflect away from the taste itself… Though now, it does entirely. My absolute favourite, raclette cheese with air dried beef and accompaniments of baby potatoes, gherkins and pickled pearl onions; followed by french...

Catching up on what I was missing out on last week. Slowly but surely, I’m sure I will get there. Hey, look at the clock, me thinks it is time for supper. Off to the kitchen to whip out the pans and fix a snack. Oh holidays, please never end.

Christmas
Christmas at Sean’s spent with the same people as the year before, well almost. Just one big happy family in a domestic setting with interesting things to do, and potluck did turn out fantastic. Looks like restricting my carbohydrates did pay off after all. I am glad.

Nadene: Daddy, can you follow me shopping tomorrow? Maybe get a birthday/Christmas present?
Dad: Follow you?
Nadene: ONE STORE. PLEASE.
Dad: Ok. But I get to pick the store.
Nadene: DADDY?!?!?!
Dad: I already gave you money anyway.
Nadene: But it's not enough! I promise I shop fast. Swear.
Dad: So, does it also means you spend money fast?
Nadene: No it doesn't. Of course not.
*pause*
Nadene: Ok fine. It does.
Trolled twice by my father. TROLL DAD : (

AJ: Daddy, you're driving too fast!!! The speed limit is 50km/h and you're going at 120km/hr!! SLOW DOWN!!!
Dad: Why?
AJ: Hmfph, fine. I'm going to take a video and see what the law has to say about this.
*whips out iPhone*
Dad: Oh, we'll see what the law has to say when I take away your phone...

A little over two weeks too late, but this was my 19th. Finally arrived in Hong Kong today and had my first proper dinner since I left home with the family, followed by another one directly after with just my father. Fully stuffed and ready to conquer the shops tomorrow, that is skipping out on sightseeing at Victoria’s Peak and the other tourist usuals; for I am craving dim sum, and...

HELLO FROM MY MOTHERLAND!!!! (aka. China) Can’t say that I’m enjoying myself in the frigid weather, but I’m looking forward to hitting the supermarket, of all places. Definitely buying back a carton of my favourite Beef flavoured UFO noodles, as much as I despite ‘instant food’, but it tastes absolutely amazing. Alright, off to bed to catch up on sleep. 6:30am...

Getting around to documenting my food rampages, with Instagram being the driving factor. If only I had started post-Finals, where I dragged anyone willing to accompany me to far ends of the island, and having every meal off-campus. Today was my attempt at returning to ‘holiday mode’, not that I ever completely left it, but just re-visiting old haunts filled me with restless serenity,...
