Across the Causeway

Off we went to JB on Tuesday~
So glad Wany agreed readily when I asked her some time in Feb. After we settled on the day, she took a day off from work and I, counted down to the holidays. There were so much going on in school and I got tired of everything; tutorials after lectures and assignments after assignments and more assignments. When the last trimester begins next month, work life will be inching nearer and nearer yet here I am still unsure of so many things. I'm so tired even thinking about it. The only things that are certain are the possibilities and the chances if not risks. The risks to take and the courage you need to chase after your dreams even when you are uncertain what lies on the other side. I wish I am courageous. It's funny how every post here links back to uncertainty and thoughts about whats next after graduation. I digress.... 

The Red House

Lovin' the old school flower railings

The heat was unbearable, spotted Maco Vintage and went in to quench our thirst

Got an ice blended peppermint mocha 

The facade of Maco Vintage. It's huge and spacious inside 

(didnt snap pictures of the interior though)

Some mama shop down the street

This ham & cheese toast is simple yet comfortingly gooood! 

A must try at Faculty of Caffeine: BANA-NUT. 

Would kill for some right now!!

It's funny how you always see this everywhere but in Singapore lol 

IT Roo's famous chicken chop...was just so-so

Took a video too, stay tuned for that!

Stop running away

I've been terrible at updating this space. There's so much going on in my mind and I need to empty it asap. I've been constantly running away from my thoughts and not face it in a way. Penning down my thoughts would probably help but I had a hard time convincing myself to write in my journal after devouring a hard-boiled egg to satisfy my rumbling stomach at 1am. Also, I wanted to sleep off the hunger but made a wrong move by going to Instagram. Moral of the story: never ever log in to Instagram whenever you're hungry. It makes you 1000000 times hungrier. #truestorybro

January

Start a Rememberlutions Jar

Whether New Year Resolutions is your thing or not, a Rememberlutions Jar may be perfect for you!

It's basically a jar filled with memories/ accomplishments you'd like to remember over the 12 months.

Then on New Year's eve, you will read the little notes in the jar which could possibly make you feel warm and fuzzy inside or maybe even cry a little reading it. 

All you need is a jar (of any size/ shape) to get started. Raid your pantry- I'm sure you will have old jam jars etc.

You could personalise it by decorating it with glitter, washi tape or anything that tickles your fancy.
If you want it plain and simple, you could leave it as it is!

Let your creative juices flow (;

Mine was rather simple; I wasn't feeling crafty that day.. I tore off a wrapper to scribble on before sticking it with dark blue washi tape. Then tied a ribbon around the jar.

Volia!

On a side note, I also started an Adventure Fund mid last year which I never got round to blog about.. Well at least, I attempted to take a picture but yeah it's way way overdue from Oct 2014 oops. (and yes I told myself to be generous to my own Adventure Fund lol)

Will you start a Rememberlutions Jar? Please share with me pictures if you do!
What else can you do with old jars other than the above?

"Fire burns brighter in the darkness"

15 more days till 2015 guys!
I'm trying to complete these things which are of top priority (also, this is an excuse to make a to-do list)

Things to do by end of December 2014

1.  Finish reading Hector and the Search for Happiness 
2.  Seat down and write (been putting this off, I'm not ready for all that feels and words just yet which is why I've been weight down by these chunks of thoughts from the 'figuring out' period)
3. Send email 
4. Learn 1 song on the ukulele
5. Declutter/ organise my room
6. Meet friends + spend quality time with family

I've been working a lot in December deliberately so as not to coop up then sinking into my thoughts. It's working well, so good move there (to a certain extend). Yesterday, this unreasonable customer just had to show such bad attitude and I'm still so mad and disgusted ugh. 

Not gonna let her bad vibes rub onto me. END.

Lovely letters: Sept/ Oct

September's theme was comfort.
I was paired with the gorgeous Emily. Every thing in the box screams comfort!
The candy corn socks is too cute and I'm totally IN LOVE with the packaging of the chocolate. I'm such a sucker for nice packaging (;

#somuchwin

This striped mug is bigger than it seems- perfect for coffee, tea or even water haha!

Moving on...October's theme was Halloween.

Here's what I received from the amazingly creative Ruby who loves crafting and paper stationary. Just look at what I received!? All of those are Project Life cards. Not sure how it works but it feels like scrapbooking I guess?

Was totally blown awayyyy. So much goodies!

And here's my outgoing

Unknown pleasures

Let's dance to Joy Division
and celebrate the irony
everything is going wrong
but we're so happy.

Goodnight x

deepest skin deep late night feels: it comes and goes

"sometimes, i feel like ripping apart my skin and search for a reason why i feel this empty"
--------
this gaping void inside of me has been awaken again tonight. i still cant put a finger to the reason why i feel this way time and time again after all these years. it feels like there's a hole in your chest longing and demanding to be filled with something i dont quite know. i hate feeling this vulnerable and helpless every time it hits me because it's the kind of emptiness which you cant do anything about- you just seat there and let it messes you inside and cry... what can i do to not feel like this out of the blue? it sucks to feel like this, it really does.
