People say I have a resting bitch face. I think I can attribute this to my mum being a Japanese (Yakuza) and my dad, a Singaporean (Ahbeng)

さよならは終わりではなく再会の合言葉
Here I am, back in a long time after neglecting this space (again).
I even left the country twice while I was away haha, to Sydney and BKK.
The last time I blogged, I was only a week into my 4 months training.
& now, I'm just 2 weeks away from graduation.
As cliche as it may sound, there's really no better words to describe than,
"Time REALLY flies"
I still remember vividly, my first day of training and all the wonderful times
I've spent with my dearest batch mates during and after school hours.
The memories that we weaved together - the good and the bad - will always hold a special place in my heart.
When the time finally comes for us to go our separate ways,
I think I will be left to feel empty.
But then again, we need to move on...
Though I am still uncertain of my future and how I am going to deal with everything.
I tell myself that everything is gonna be alright.
We are all going to do just fine.
& I wish that my words bear truth and hope.
Good luck everyone, you know I love you.
さよならは終わりではなく再会の合言葉
BKK 2015 - Part 1
BKK: DAY ONE
Platinum Mall/Pratunam Market/Cenral World
& I shall let the photos do the talking :)
BKK: DAY TWO
Made a big mistake by taking Tuk Tuk all the way to Union Mall.
It was a torturous ride but I guess we can say it was a memorable one too lol, inhaling all the carbon monoxide and trying our best not to get thrown out onto the road.
I remember how much I used to beg my parents to let me ride on the tuk tuk when I was younger - age does change everything. :')
Union Mall was def cheaper than Platinum Mall.
& what's good is that we didn't have to force ourselves to buy in bulks.
Next time (if I ever wanna go BKK again), I will just station myself there.
1. Good food at the CLEAN food court - serves very decent tom yum soup at a very reasonable price.
2. Affordable and trendy items
3. Less crowd + Aircon
Dinner was at a Japanese restaurant @ Terminal 2 - because daddy was being very emperor-ish and he needs to have his 'weekly dosage of Japanese food' lol.
& throughout the entire trip, we were banned from eating the legit street food.
I thought I could finally bade goodbye to my specs after lasik,
but cuz the air was so dusty, I bought a $4 no deg specs to protect my precious expensive eyes.
HAHA.
Naomi will appear at the second part of the post hahaha. Sorry bopeep.
No wonder many people tell me I have the only child~feel wtf.
So we ended the day with a thai body massage (for me and mummy), oil massage (daddy) and foot reflexology (naomi).
SEOUL, Goodbye.
I'm so happy I am finally finishing my Korea series 🇰🇷 - it took me a month! haha

& I'm also very proud of myself for not giving up and documenting as much details as possible so that I can look back & reminisce about all the fun times I had with my college bestie, Jocelyn 👭
(👆See recently I've been complimenting you) Really had so much fun laughing all the time.
Everytime I plan on going back to Seoul I will kinda doubt myself, like are you sure you wanna go there again, go somewhere else lah.
But there's always no regrets.
It's the same for Tokyo - my heart is always IN Tokyo📍🇯🇵
I can go back a million times, & never get sick of that city❤️
Last morning milk + slope combi 😢
We had our lunch at our favourite sweet and sour pork & jajamyeon place again,
cuz we know we can never find anything as good as that when we are back 😢
& then we did our last minute cosmetics/clothes/shoes shopping at Myeongdong.
& took the same airport bus back to Incheon.
Wasn't ready to bade goodbye to Seoul.
I look quite dulan in the photos cuz I got sunburned LOL 🔥
My skin is really sensitive to UV rays x100000000,
so whenever I whine about the weather/sun, Im not being an annoying brat ok.
I am seriously burning & suffering in pain 💢
This is a very unglam candid photo of me but. I am crying lol. 😹
What movie was I watching wtf cannot rmb.
LOVE ROSIE HAHAHA. yes, I was watching love rosie.
& being all emotional while Jocelyn happily snaps a selfie.
I wanna say thank you once again to Jocelyn's parents for sending me to/fro the airport too.
Cuz my parents were overseas and were MIA throughout the whole time.
👇Picture of what I had for lunch the next day I think.
KOREAN AGAIN HAHA. Restaurant name: Harumi's Kitchen 🙆
I need to inherit mummy's wonderful cooking skillz man.
& while I was browsing through my iPhoto, I found many pics of my blonde hair.
When I'm blonde, I miss dark healthy hair.
When I have dark hair, I miss being blonde (minus the damage part, of course)
#life #girls
THE PRESENT
It's been more than a month since I got back.
& tmr, I'll be going for a short holiday with my family to BKK till Saturday.
Looking forward to eating and shopping again, but the thought of having to walk under the sun,
is already making me quite emo 😰 haha.
Also, yesterday, I went for Kebaya fitting 😄
It was also yesterday, when I finally received the green light to put on make up.
I still don't have the courage to apply thicker make up, and I spent a very long time removing it because I was so scared of accidentally rubbing my eyes too hard.
I even changed my make up remover to some organic gentle eye make up remover lotion.
I still have 2 more weeks before I can really resume to my normal lifestyle of swimming and Pilates. Plan to do eyelash extensions and occasionally wear cosmetic lenses too.
Patience is the key 😴
