Life Updates

First blog post of the year. Wow, I didn't noticed I haven't been writing for a long time. Of course again, a whole load of things have changed since the last time I was here.

I shall recall a little from the past 3 months or so.

Dec 13' Christmas Celebration 2013



Gosh, that was last year. Had two celebrations this year with these peepal ~

Jan 14' New Year Countdown


Steamboat at a friend's place. Ended up getting wasted, puking and the heading off to work with a mild hangover the next day.

Jan 14' Cheryl Turns 22


Feb 14' I don't know about you, I'm feeling 22





First time on the ice rink was also on my 22nd hoho. Great day out. Thanks everyone! For the gifts and everything else!

Current Updates

First of all, I wanna share my travel plans for 2014! *drum rolls* I will be flying off to Tasmania, Australia in August and then Seoul in November! :D The Tasmania trip would be a 8D7N road trip. Yes, road trip. My first ever. So I am kinda more excited for the first one. And then it's another 8D7N retail therapy in Seoul. And I have to say that I am so lucky because for both trips, I've got a very good deal on my flight tickets. Having done that, I am now extremely broke from all the air tickets I have purchased (on impulse actually).

Which brings me to my next point. It's hard choosing between school and work now. Yes, Prelims just ended today and this means there is only 56d left to my year 1 finals. I am in this constant dilemma of choosing work and studies AND this struggle is much harder than I thought it would be.

Besides that, yeah I wanna talk about some horrendous pain I have been through last few weeks. I had a very bad toothache and it turns out that the previous filling I had was too deep and it caused a trauma to my nerves in the tooth and this tooth is now dead and the nerves have to be removed. Yes, root canal treatment. All over again. The last time I did was in the last quarter of 2011. I kinda forgot how it felt like but in memory, it wasn't a pleasant experience. Well actually, all dentist trips has never been pleasant for me... So today, I did my second root canal  procedure which means there is 2 more to go. Well... I would say the pain this time was worse. But my dentist was really nice so I got that going for me, which is good.

Been thinking a lot recently as well and I think life is kinda fucked. Sometimes when I think back, I feel like I have been too nice to some people. Which made me reflect a lot on myself as well. I do agree that sometimes, I take people for granted too. Especially those who are really nice to me. And I don't want that to happen because I know how it feels like. So I am working on it. I think a lot about the past recently idk why and I have to say, I miss a lot of people. Especially those who were once so close to me, I often wished nothing changed. And so I felt the need to re-engage with people I haven't talk to or seen for a long time - which is so not me I swear.

Okay besides all that shit, I think life is still pretty good. I am doing a degree, I have a job which I enjoy because it's fun, I have travel plans and I have that handful of people I know I can always turn to no matter what. I don't even want to talk about relationships cos it's detrimental, over-rated, people suck and I love my dogs. It's time to look at the positive side of life.

What a long and emotional post.

Pfffft.

I am tired.

Until the next time.


4 Month Hiatus
Posted Monday, November 25, 2013 // 01:55
Only 4 months have passed - but a whole load of changes had already taken place. And I am pretty surprised.

Since the last update ;

1. University has started since 12 Aug
2. I playfully applied and was selected for my university's Student Council
3. I flew to Bangkok on 11 Sept.
4. My council event Foodhunt took place on 23 Nov and is officially over

Just some major events lol.

I am super duper lazy to type hahaha.

AS USUAL, A VIDEO FOR EVERY TRAVEL JOURNEY - BANGKOK VLOG:


Shall update again soon.

Soon....... ;)

xx


A new phase in life
Posted Friday, July 05, 2013 // 17:57
It has become a habit that I only update once a month or so :/ Oh well.

Anyway, it is soon a week since I left ACR - and I actually feel kinda sad. Which is rather weird. Time really flies. I still remember at the start of the year, I was complaining how horrendous this job was and then in a blink, everything is over. This is probably my longest lasting job ever. And I am really glad I've gotten a job here. I've met so many nice people. I am gonna super duper miss my pantry clique and the running club people. But I make it a point to go back every week for my training with the running club. At least, I get to see my colleagues and catch up.

Oh! I have to say this, I am super duper excited because I managed to register myself for The Color Run 2013 next month! :D It was such a last minute decision and my colleagues and I were like booking it in the office after lunch lol. And then an hour later, everything was sold out. We were pretty lucky.

I have been working out a lot lately. Gym, swimming, running blablabla. But I am also eating a lot lol. Slowly convincing myself that it's impossible to lose weight and that I should just focus on maintaining my weight - since my BMI is healthy.

So... it has been a week since my "unemployment" and yeah, I have been spending my time pretty wisely. I went to the gym on Monday, and then on Tuesday I ran for the first time after a month. Gosh, 2.41KM and I dropped. Oh and I was really happy on Tuesday too because Kim, drove Cheryl, Wenjie I for some ice-cream at Dempsey followed by food and beer at Keppel Island :) moving car, music, beer, food, great company... perfect :) ... ok and then on Wednesday, I went swimming with the same people and then we went for a super random K session after that. Yesterday, I was also with the same people and we went to town to do some shopping but we somehow ended up eating so much more than shopping haha. And then it's today, I am going for a movie with my group of annoying friends :)

Oh yes, and I am so proud of myself. I went down to Yishun this morning to grab tickets for tonight's show and then I ran all the way back from Yishun to Admiralty non-stop. It was like 5.41KM and I took 40.51mins ( including the time I jogging on the spot like an idiot at a few traffic lights ). Still slow. I need to finish 5KM in 30mins. That's my goal before The Color Run. And I am gonna train super hard.

Okie, time to prepare to meet my homies :)

Till the next time. xx


i'm a lazy bum

Yes I am. I'm updating this a month since the last lol. Gahhhhh, I'm super duper busy too actually. But I want to make an effort to update this because I wanna look back some time later and actually recall all the good times I had. So here am I! :)

I actually looked at my photo album starting from the day I arrived in Singapore from Auckland and thought to myself "woah, a lot of shit happened." LOL. So here are the list of things that came into my mind when I saw those pictures in order of date.

#1 Celebrated Shorelle's 11th Birthday ( That bitch is hella old. But I still love her. )
#2 Attended two 21st parties ( Jiaen & Peilian )
#3 Had a KFC Double Down dare with my colleague
#4 Watched three movies in the cinema ( I hardly have time for that )
#5 Dyed my hair ( again )
#6 Met up with a new friend
#7 Played Futsal with my colleagues for the first time in my life
#8 Made Rainbow cupcakes twice, first one being my virgin try
#9 Started but ended a 3 day Keto Diet ( it was horrible )
#10 Got myself a weekend event job on Mother's Day
#11 Joined a Running Club with my colleagues
#12 Drank 10 cups of drinks from Starbucks just to get a Mini LE Starbucks Card

Gosh, I'm so lazy lol. I'm writing such a concise text for events that took place in a month... Indeed, summary writing has trained me well both in O and A'levels HAHA.

I've been having insomnia lately and the short hours of sleep are getting really unbearable... urgh. I need a doctor. Soon.

Have a great Sunday ahead lovely people. Schönen Tag! 



Auckland Vlog

Short Update
Posted Sunday, April 07, 2013 // 01:42
I've been missing for quite some time haha. So here's a short update!

I'm still in the process of making my Auckland vlog ~ I've been so busy this week :( But the Auckland trip was amazing. It's hard to put it in words. I had loads of fun and I really enjoyed myself. I guess the main objective of the trip was achieved.. that is to get out of my hectic city life. Living in the farm, in the rural was amazing. The time in Auckland was great. And I'm really sad that it had to end eventually. Oh well... I'll do up the video ASAP :)

05/APR/2013

On Friday, my department had this team bonding thing and my colleague suggested paintball.... lol. Traveled all the way from Woodlands to Promenade and worked for like 1.5 hours and then we took the company chartered bus back to bottle tree at Khatib....... I felt pretty dumb lol.

I was pretty nervous at first haha. Because I heard that the shots were pretty hurtful. And yeah, it did hurt like shit... I had a big bruise on my hand and another on my leg. But it was a wonderful experience :)

Went to Changi after that for the department dinner and we ended the day.

06/APR/2013

MY LONG AWAITED GETAWAY TRIP HAS FINALLY ARRIVED.

Yes, I'm flying off to Auckland in a few hours time :) One more country off the list!

But right now, I just feel like dying. I slept only for two hours this morning and I went to work with a hangover lol. But it was a crazy evening and I had loads of fun. :p

I'm too freaking tired to carrying on typing............. dang.

BE BACK IN 9 DAYS TIME!

P.S. I will make a NZ Vlog :)

Hi, my name is Samantha. I love travelling, reading and meeting people from different walks of life. This is a documentation of my life and my travel adventures. In a way, it is a homage to faded memories of mine. The memory span of a human being is short, hence the existence of these memoirs. Because fifty years down the road, I want to look back, smile to myself and say: "I've lived my life with no regrets."
