#164 photography is something that allows a moment to stay for eternity

A blogger life is tough if you don't plan it well, just like what I do every single time I blog. 
I get distracted, edit/collage photos while I upload, get distracted AGAIN, talk, laugh, watch videos, eat and then I finally get to real blogging after I see the time approaching 12AM T.T

Finding a social life is another problem of mine, so busy with work (okay no I'm not a very busy person but I get tired once I reach home, eat dinner and bath. And for the fact that my work place is millions of miles away from my house, most of my holiday is wasted on sitting on the car!) busy with my mission trip to Cambodia (not really) busy with the preparations for Student Camp 2013! 
The only things in my holiday that defines this whole 8 months long break! I'm already into mid April and I have yet to travel to enjoy and truly breathe. 
Starting to lose hope on doing that :(

Sigh...OFF the sad tone, finally after scolding myself that I am not spending much time with people I love, I went to put a post-it on my planner for every month named: MY SOCIAL LIFE. It is to constantly remind me that it is blank and I need to fill it up! April has been good to me, so far till date I have 5dates in my social life! YAY ME! :D

First two was spent with people from church, 
1 childhood bestie, Corliss. 

01/04 It was April Fools Day and she scammed me that she couldn't meet me. I fell for it.
Did girly stuff like curling/highlighting her hair and spazzing over nail polish. 
She brought over two sweeties from Awful Chocolate which I proceed to finish the next week. 
♥ you mad girl! (:

2 Bendito. 

No that is not the same Bendito pocket that KFC has decided to remove >:( It's the name of my cell group! Which branched out from LOL which is another story that I shall not go into! 
Anyway, we had a BBQ session on 13/04 for relax cell & it was horrible but nice at the same time. 

Firstly, it was MAD HOT in the afternoon when me and Donovan went to get some stuff and 
secondly, buckets of raw chicken wing & pork is MAD HEAVY, my left arm was left shaking for the whole night. 

Thirdly, never get two BBQ-idiots to set up the BBQ. 
Although me and Donovan went early to set the fire, we stood there for quite some time trying to figure how to set a fire. 
We even Google "how to set up BBQ with charcoal and fire starter" no kidding. 
It was an ultimate failure. 
Then the rest of cell came to save us, but then IT RAINED =.= 
And the BBQ place had NO SHELTER. 

To cut the miserable story short, we dashed off to Jing Jing's house which meant walking in the pouring rain, up the hill and then down the hill and cutting across HDB and walking down the slippery stairs and finally to the front porch of her house. 

I smelt like SWEAT + BBQ FIRE + RAIN that day, if someone still ones to marry me when I smell like that, I would love you forever. 

To end the story, we manage to use her mini BBQ pit to BBQ chicken wing, otahs and Taiwan sausage while the rest of the food we cooked in the kitchen! :D 
Although horrible but honestly, thinking back about it, I've never felt so alive before (: 
And YOLO kept going through my mind, for what purpose I DON'T KNOW but it was fun :D
I shan't even find photos of myself on that day because it just spells HORRIBLE. 

Moving on!
For my next 3 dates I spent it with the people that I spent the most time with for 6 years of my life (:

I don't have a name for us but that is our Whatsapp group name LOL. 
It consists of the awesome me, the awesome Huizhen and the awesome K-Chuen. Nah, KC is awesome too. Our sister LOL. The story of this outing is just as retarded as the one above. 

First, KC was requesting to meet up since we haven't met up in a long time. We use to eat almost every Wednesday when we were schooling together. 
But that's history. 

So we (me and Dusty) said okay sure, why not. 
And we were informing KC NOT TO BE LATE. Which he rebutted by saying we have no faith in him, he will be early and that he can wake up. So we believed him. 

And so on the day of our date, we were WA-ing and KC (that we believed in with all our hearts) was nowhere to been seen on the chat. Multiple calls all led to voicemail. 
Me and Dusty were left roaming at the Airport wondering if we should wait for him to finally realise we are suppose to meet today. We even went to get his house number so that we can call him. 

Finally after about 20 mins, our dear friend finally decided to call us and apologized like mad which resulted in us sighing and telling him how disappointed we are in him. 
Cutting the story short again, he finally came like 10 mins later. 
And this incident was added to the "stories to annoying K-Chuen with" 
Spent the rest of our day laughing like mad recalling stories and creating new embarrassing stories that I shan't say here because all in all I'm still a good friend, I must protect the pride of my friends HAHAHAHA. Sorry Chuen, this story must be told :P but I wouldn't say anymore hahaha! 
And yes, KC is a nice friend, tiredness just got to him so ya, human nature.

Photo memory #1 - We can never smile properly

4 Belle ♥ 

I was so busy with everything else in life that this girl got pushed so far down my WA chat list. I'm sorry girl! :( 
But I made it up to her by asking her out on a date which she proceeded to scold me about how I finally ask her out T.T Our date became a walkaton as we walked around town area trying to find something nice to eat. And this was after our long lengthy discussion on FB chat the night before! We just can never decide on what we want to do. But that's alright! Spontaneous is good too! :D

Went off to lunch at Eighteen Chefs which opened at Cineleisure. We were planning to eat at Raindrops but the place was like so empty that we freaked out :O Had spicy tomato pasta with beef bits and sausage as the sides! Bought armcandies that I'm mad in love with! So colourful! Was planning to wear it until me and Belle went to tighten the strap that was holding the armcandies until it was too tight to even be worn -.- Went to window shop at H&M, F21 & some other shops but we were feeling so tired. Our stamina is dying. Like what she said today, we used to be able to walk TWO bus stops after a game of a badminton but now we are like........ 

Age is really catching up on us T.T

But we finally manage to fulfill something on our "Things to do after A's list": Chill at a Cafe

Walked from one cafe to another because none of the cakes scream "EAT ME!" and I wouldn't eat any cake until it requests so that resulted in us walking around so much :( Sorry Belleeee 

We finally decided to go to PAUL which was the only cafe left. The cakes (okay tarts) finally looked nice to devour so we settled there (:

Photo memory #3 - Tarts, tarts and more tarts

Photo memory #8

Photo memory #9

Walking down Orchard Road together (no we are not les) suddenly makes me feel so happy. Maybe because I have been so busy that I haven't really have time to actually catch up with my friends and after I finally did, its like I finally feel that a puzzle piece fitted rightly in the problem that I was trying to figure while being busy. 

To Belle, one of my dearest friend, thank you for being there for me. For the words that I would one day tell you or write to you, just to let you know first, you are awesome :D And if you ever feel lost and un-solved like me, let's go cake hunting again okay? (: I'm looking forward to having our photo on your DP 5 months later when you out wear this outfit (; HAHAHAHAHA ♥ you babe! ^^

5 The Aunties that are becoming more like real aunties with age but at the same time more beautiful with age also

These people, I wondered how I could go through this holiday so long without meeting them at least twice a week. Or maybe I do, just not together. To Ms Liew that couldn't come with us today! Two things: 1, HOW COULD YOU >:( 2, I MISS YOU ♥ :( And to Mandy who has floated away from our dimension, come back once in awhile please? Need to see your pretty face hahaha ♥

Today was Buddy Hoagies and movie date with the ladies! As usual, we said we will meet at 2:45PM but judging on previous encounters, the timing is never kept. It is just a reminder for us to either be earlier and wait really long or come 1 hour after the stated time because we will never scream much at each other (i think, or maybe just I scream) 

Whatever the case, after multiple breakups from Belle and Vivian with their attachment to their beds and their toilet bowls (yes, I have weird friends. That's why we are friends) and short online shopping session together and million more WA-ing about how we are all not keeping to the time except Belle who was early because she needed to do something..... NAH she just improved a lot (;

Our eating time became about 3:30PM when our movie is at 4:15PM. Nonetheless, gobbled our food down after instagraming the food because we are #typicalsingaporeans and still had time to spare.

Went to catch Olympus Has Fallen which Huizhen thought was about the camera. LOL.
Dusty, studies is killing your brain cells *pats head*

The movie was just awesome, although cliche but the producers/directors manage to distract us from the story line with mind-blowing effects. Although some are just plain gory :O

Got a new found love with Gerard Butler all dressed up in his combat vest with different shades types of guns on him, walking down the aisle with his arms stretched, pistol in hand showing off his gorgeous muscled forearm ♥♥♥♥♥ 

CHECK OUT THE ARMS

DYING

He has such nice blue shades in his eyes ♥
And that smirk

I sound totally guy deprived
*pull yourself together!*


 Was gonna stop till I realise he has the feel of Jeremy Renner,
who ALSO has nice ARMS and EYES.


 And then it reminded me of this photo of Changmin
who has nice ARMS and EYES ALSO


Okay, back to reality it is 1:16AM 

What was I saying? Oh yeah, Gerard Butler, forearms, men.... (;
AND MY FRIENDS

After finishing the awesome movie, shivering through some bits cause it was damn cold! Pooor Belle and Vivian totally had no jackets with them! I think we were really noisy throughout the show laughing at the people because we are so used to watching Koreans being dramatic, loving and funny not being crazy & violent :O 

Was determined to take many photos today because I haven't seen these people in ages, together. So we walked off to the patch of grass at Ehub to camwhore LOL. I figure camwhoring is the most fun and exciting part of every date I ever have. I just love to picture down every moment I spent with people, unless I look horrible. No lah, I will still picture it down but just dump it in the never-to-be-seen folder hahahahaha!


Photo memory #10 - The most pictures Belle and Vivian ever had together in one date

Photo memory #11 - Me and Dusty finally taking nice photos, at least some 

Photo memory #12 - Us up close 

Photo memory #13 - Us far away, with plenty of legs 

Photo memory #14 - Polaroid memories
we look like we are vacationing at some grasslands near the mountains hahahaha!
beautiful pictures nonetheless (:

And this marks the end of my dates till date! Really glad for all these people in my life.
They give me so much strength and love and as cliche as this may sound, I really can't picture my life without them. Or maybe I do, it will just be similar outings with different faces. NAH just kidding! Glad God put them in my life, and I really want to continue the rest of my life with them all! :D

♥ you, All my friends! Thank you for putting up with the emotional/crazy/embarrassing/retarded me (: But then again I'm only like that cause you all are like that! Hahahaha! Okay I shall continue to feel grateful in the comforts of my bed! Done with like only half of my night snacks (green+purple grapes) shall complete it tomorrow! Good morning world! ^^

Cheers! ^^
