Moving to WordPress!
Monday, October 17, 2011 @ 12:43 AM

After a good seven years, I have finally made the leap to WordPress!

Am still keeping my blogspot around. Think WordPress would take some getting used to - but am looking forward to a change!

Till then, thanks for all the good times, Blogger!

Too Good
Thursday, October 06, 2011 @ 1:46 AM

Almost a week into October and I cannot explain how good it feels to be able to stay up all night not doing anything particularly important at all (Watching Korean dramas + I just filled my hard disk with American TV shows and movies from Kiv = more sleepless nights) although my report is still hanging by a thread right now. But I guess being this lifeless at home is a great thing since I'm no longer getting paid and I'm so broke right now!

The past few days have been pretty awesome. Met the other 'graduated' SPH interns for Fright Night last night (Worth a watch if you like brainless vampire flicks) and have otherwise been getting loads of sleep. Have finally completed course II of Street Jazz and I'll be heading to open classes next week. It's such a liberating feeling to dance - to feel every muscle and ache and to be in control of every movement. Plus it's a great reason to get my otherwise lazy ass off my bed. And I'm also glad that Chong Aik is taking classes with me now - we'll be meeting every week!


Back to watching mindless cliche love stories IN MA BED.


Till then xx

Suddenly struck with the thought of what I am really here for.

Pulau Ubin & Meetup with Marie (And a whole bunch of random photos)
Monday, October 03, 2011 @ 2:31 AM

It's a Sunday morning and I can barely contain my happiness knowing I don't have to snooze through 5/6 alarms tomorrow and drag myself out of bed for work! To Fiona who is going to Bangkok - have a great trip and don't forget to stuff yourself silly!

A couple of weeks ago, a bunch of us trooped to Pulau Ubin for a mini kayaking and fish spa escapade. It felt really good, to have all of us go someplace together after so long! Plus, it was a really refreshing break from internship and also a great chance to catch up with everyone.

Met Eudora and Mel before cabbing together to Changi Point to take the ferry with the others. It was raining so we were wondering whether we would even get into the water but thankfully, it stopped and the weather wasn't too hot!

Pretty girls.

Stef and I on our cheapo honeymoon! Told her one day we'll go someplace else when we can afford something more than the $2.50 ferry ride to Ubin.

Our Changi Village feast after kayaking! Haha does wonders to burn calories, build arm muscles and make you crazily hungry.


Last week, I managed to catch up with Marie one day after work too. We usually only meet a couple of times a year so I wish I had a little more time to talk to her. Will see you again soon babe!

Haha this was in a neoprint booth before we took neoprints - so nostalgic! We used to take them every other day in secondary school. Those were the days. Wonder just how much we spent on neoprints though. They all now sit in a tiny pouch in my cupboard.

Think she's the fairest girl I've ever taken photos with! But she's become really pretty now hehe. And I really love her red hair.

More random i4 photos (No wonder I have so many in my phone!!! Just realised the amount of things I take)

At the opening party of Avalon! Which didn't go too well. They could use better organisational skills and not make people wait so long.

Taemin's sweater!! Haha sorry couldn't resist.

One last goodbye to my (still stocked) snackbar!

And the most random photo of all...My M&S organic green tea! Hahah and the verdict is that it tastes really good...and healthy.



Have a great week ahead!! xx

Till We Meet Again
Friday, September 30, 2011 @ 1:21 AM

6 MONTHS HAVE GONE BY.

It's still pretty much crazy to me, especially when I have been blogging pretty frequently throughout the past six months, days that flew by without a hitch and others that dragged on for eternity. It doesn't really feel like today is finally the last day of my internship with SPH Magazines.

Writing has always been something incredibly sacred to me, and I am really happy that I was given the opportunity to really try my hand at print journalism in a place like Simply Her. I still remember being as jittery as I was excited about genuinely seeing my name in print for the first time - Was my article good enough? Did I fact-check everything correctly? Was my standfirst too cheesy?

Today was my farewell lunch. I already know how much I will miss the team as a whole. Honestly, I believe I really lucked out scoring a team like mine. They are all incredible people - patient, giving and driven all at the same time. Am really blessed to have learned so much from each and every individual, and no matter where I go in the future I will always remember my roots and where my first venture into the real writing industry started.

Also, to all the great intern friends I have made, I am seriously lucky to have all of you accompany me throughout the entire journey although none of you were in Simply Her before Collette, and I hope that we'll all be able to reunite again someday, someplace!

Too late to write a real nostalgic post but...

I LOVE YOU ALL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR A GREAT INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE. :')


Till we meet again...

Cryptic

It's so easy to bring a person down. So easy to condemn rather than sing praise of. I really feel regretful for times when I've felt this way about people. Sometimes it happens a lot more than I wish it would, but I resolve to change and be a more positive person. Not aiming to be a complete angel but I do know I never want to feel how it's like to be at the shorter end of the stick.

Need to start really digesting the fact that hating won't make me a better person.

You are always trying to keep it real

On my way to Vivo to meet Justine for Bad Teacher - last day screening and we are finally catching it woohoo! Today was yet another day of slogging my guts out and I strongly believe that no one should ever work as a full time stylist because well...it really sucks? Haha. Don't think I should complain that much though, think of all the serious muscle I'm gaining! Still, the last three weeks are really going by reallyyyy slowly and each day is a serious drag. Met a CMM graduate at work today when she came up to say hi - finally I'm not so alone anymore! It's always comforting to see somewhat familiar people.

Here's to the anticipation of an early weekend. Getting ready to party on Saturday!
