NOVEMBER

Can't help but to be thankful because I suppose my birthday present came early this year.
This month has been so good, i almost wished 30th doesn't have to come by so soon.







I never knew 4 months would end on such a happy note. From unknown strangers, they became my leaders,  my confidants, my supporters, my inspirations and most importantly,my friends.
I know it's still too early to say that i'm confident that i'll stay in this field for a very long time but i'm fortunate for now.
To be blessed with a non-political working environment, an office that is always filled with laughters and teasings, a flexible timetable, a huge desk that no one will intrude and my best friend seated right in front of me  .. it really makes my working days so much easier to handle.

My mum has been really kind on me too. I have been breaking my curfew religiously getting on her nerves so bad but i know she has been really tolerant.
Hanging out with the guys and chatting till 4a.m. in the morning, going drinking with my clique, hanging out with them for supper @swee choon and just yesterday midnight singing at teo heng...
She tries her best to stay awake unless i'm home safe and even though i can't fathom the reason behind why she is so worried, i think i know.
This amazing woman, I can't never do enough to repay her love.

These days, i have been thinking.My life isn't as exciting as those famous bloggers nor am I rich enough to afford a balenciaga hangbag every month. I'm not skinny, I'm not popular, I don't party, mix with the 'in' crowd, seek fame and i'm well, single... but I have never been happier.
Just spending time learning the guitar with jing xuan and amanda, joking about the days when we did silly things when we were much younger with my clique, laughing about my previous relationships with the girls and just..being myself with everyone.
I think that's a good feeling that can never be bought.

Who needs all that free sponsors, necessary attention and huge birthday parties?(Ok,i'm lying about the first opinion)

           


 




I don't.

What is your definition of happiness?

THIS.

I just cannot get over this picture. Yes, it's not my typical self-shot where i will pout my lips and expect to gain a 1000000 likes from instagram but i really love this picture. Fists up, Face clenched, Eyes almost gone and expression....priceless. It was so IN THE MOMENT :)
Yesterday was rocking good. First I went to watch 'the perks' and I'm glad I did even though the movie sucked but it got me wanting the book so bad...i have it with me now(and it's awesome)
Then we had another late night celebration with charlotte at paulaner's at cityhall and the place was just sweet. I never expected the magarita to be so good, the singers to be so beautiful and their vocals to be so perfect. I only remembered I was absorbed into their music, i sang throughout the night, not holding back at all and i broke my glass of tequila because i was so into the atmosphere,clapping away like a fanatic haha






Happiness is when i look at my friend blissful with her other half,
Happiness is when my lame jokes makes everyone chuckles,
Happiness is where good music is heard,
Happiness is when people appreciates my effort,
Happiness is when I spent my weekend to the fullest,
Happiness is when I had a day out alone and I laugh at my own silly self knocking into a glass panel unknowingly,
Happiness is when I received a tweet from someone unexpected,
Happiness is when I learn how to follow my heart and eat what I love, nourish my body and spending quality time with people I love.
Happiness is
THIS
I don't think it cost more than $3 but it's easily one the best present i ever received. 
Nothing beats something that is made with effort.




Well,are you happy?

I'm no where close, but still,i wish you happiness.



I really like bubz so i thought i wanted to share this amazingly beautiful video.

Hello 11 Novemeber

I'll really unlucky today.
 Yes i know my proud face is all over your instagram but i really had a tough morning.






Missed my 4am shuttle bus when i woke up at 330am and i had to take a cab down to Marina.I freaked out abit there and started getting pre-run jitters which was totally unnecessary haha
Next,my debit just couldn't get through in the cab and i only had $8 with me. It was so damn embarrassing and the driver was a little pissed :( Guilty much but i managed to transfer him the $$!!!

Then,during my run,i got indigestion throughout my race because i had a few green bean pastries an hour before(i know it was a bad idea but i was greedy) AND i had a big fall while running.
It was just the start of the race and before i  even had time to check my wounds,i had to run because there was a crowd behind..now i have a bruised knee and a swollen palm :(

OK What i didn't expect was abrasions...not at the thighs or feet but on my underarms.
Now, try to imagine me trying to raise up and spreading my arms at certain intervals because they sting so bad :(
UNDERARM ABRASION. THAT WAS CERTAINLY NEW.I HAVE LIKE RED LINES ABOVE AND BELOW MY UNDERARMS NOW.DAMN DAMN DAMN EPIC.

Well,braving through my first half marathon alone was definitely boring(and painful) but i had a good run.
Getting the chance to run with the top few runners and leaving behind those topless girls with hot abs was rather awesome hahahaha 
The weather was perfect and i think my first 10km timing was about 45 minutes..every mile only got further when i past the 10km mark but i didn't stop.
One day,i really hope i can go up the podium..it's a silly dream but i won't stop running.



Now....lets countdown to 2 weeks more to my freedom.

"I lift weights, eat healthy food, and nourish my body not out of some sense of guilt or vanity (at least not all the time), but because it’s the one thing I can control. I own my body. Take away my stuff, my friends, my job, my family, and I still have it. My body is my vehicle to go places I want to go and do things I want to do."
