Glass Bead

Hello there everyone! It's been awhile since I last updated. Nowadays, I kinda lost the feel to just sit down and write. My life recently also very boring la. LOLOLOL!

So a little update here. I found a job to keep myself occupied till my enlistment date cuz loafing around at home also a bit waste of time. So I thought why not I go get myself a job. I didn't really tell anyone where I'm working because I want to keep it low profile.

The reason for me getting a job is also to get myself busy and out of the house so I won't think so much and go crazy with my thoughts. And i'm loving my job so far! I got to know a few people from my workplace and they're a fun bunch! ♥

Ohyah! I've also contacted my web designer in regards to my change of new blogskin already. Soon this web layout will be gone. LOL! I told my friend about it and he asked me am I sure of changing it, cuz the design that i want to revamp to is rather plain and simple. But yea, i'm pretty sure of what i want and sticking to my decision.

Met up with Damien, Noelle & Clive for dinner some time ago. Was kinda sad that Huixin, Joey, and Shenny couldn't make it this time round cuz of last min stuff. :( But nvm, there's always next time. :D

Finally able to meet out with them. But still missing out SHEN, Huixin and Joey tho. :(

Come to think of it, I think my life now like very boring eh! I've tweeted this before, that I kinda lost the feel to post anything on instagram anymore. You see, I've deleted my photos all the way till less than 20 left. Not sure why though, I think I've sorta lost interest already. But who knows right? Maybe this feeling is just temporary.

Aites, I guess that's about it. Till the next post.

So... 2014 is over?!

So... 2014 is coming to an end, in like???  (OMG I JUST CHECKED THE CALENDAR!!) Its just next Thursday!!! TIAN AH!!!

Sorry, this post was typed on somewhere near end of December. But I just left it hanging cause some things happened in between and I took a hiatus during the month of January. That is, I'll leave it to some other post next time.

In this post, I will be summing some of the highlights of 2014.

January

As I was an avid supporter of the talent show kpop starhunt back then, and I don't know what got into me, I was contemplating whether to head down to Suntec City to support the 4 finalists. Just nice, I had a friend who also wanted to go down to the event cuz the guest star that they're inviting appears to be his idol. So yea..

After which, they had a stage game activity, and lucky me manage to bag home the prize of a pair of scoot tickets to Seoul, Korea. Lol! The post on the event is here: http://www.donnlicious.com/2014/01/scoot-kpop-starhunt-season-3.html



I am definitely very lucky, considering the fact that I had won a pair of tickets to Seoul, and the month before in Dec 2013, I won a 2D1N stay at W Hotel Singapore. I didn't believe it at first and I was quite skeptical about it, but after much checking, indeed. I've won. Hahah!



Ohyah! How can I forgot about Chinese New Year as well? Other than going to relative houses to "Bai Nian", I also had a "reunion" dinner with my Poly year 1 clique! ♥

March

I didn't remember doing anything worth highlighting in February, (not like I get to celebrate valentine's day!) So yea. Let's move on to March shall we?

I took part in Nuffnang's blogging contest, Unwrap Good Times With KFC Bandito. I get alot of good feedback from my friends that the video I made was pretty entertaining. (Video On My Blog Header). Here's the post: http://www.donnlicious.com/2014/03/wrap-unwrap-good-times.html

And I came in 2nd for that contest. First prize of $1000 goes to Cheow Yi, which is now a friend of mine. (Cheow Yi, we're friends right? RIGHT?!!)



Ohohoh! And I died my hair purple as well! Hahah! CHIOZ!!! I kinda miss my funky hair days. Lol!!!

April

Fast forward to April, the first ever Cousins* Traveling together. Initially there was more people going luh, but then because of the BKK Riot thingy and some of them their parents felt that it wasn't safe to go at that point of time. So some of them called off the trip. But nevertheless, we had plenty of fun!!!



The finale of Cineleisure's Next Online Sensation 3 also known as CNOS in short was held at mid April. I attended the event as a guest and I saw some familiar faces. Hahaha! So for all the winners. Especially Noelle, cuz she really wanted this. And also because I keep disturbing her cuz she got 4th place during CNOS 2. Hahaha!

A photo with Joey and Shenny and QiuQiu photobombing us from behind. Hahaha!



Back in April, I also took part in The Influencer Network's first ever blogging contest "Why I Love Being A Blogger". And I came in 2nd. Again!!! Yes, I can never get 1st in life, not sure why? But that's the other story.

April was also the month where I return back to school as a senior year student. Gawwd. Words can't explain how stressful I am... I still remember clearly I had a hard time building relationships with my year 3 groupmates. But look, now we're friendsssssssssss! Hahaha!

May

As I was busy with the new semester, I didn't really have time to blog much, but the highlight for May is that I've gotten a new phone!!! Woots! And its an iPhone 5s!!! I've never regretted my purchase, and its all thanks to Daddy Koh!!! ♥



I dyed my hair to cobalt blue at May, along with silver/grey highlights at the fringe area. I SUPER DUPER LOVE IT!!! ♥

June

Finally the time has arrive. June was the period where I had my mid-terms and I was pretty looking forward to the holidays after cuz I will be traveling to Seoul, Korea courtesy from the tickets that I've won from KPOP Starhunt finale. Hahaha!

July

I attended TIN's Boost at WhiteSails. It was my first ever yacht experience and I definitely enjoy it. I got to know more bloggers through the event and it was my first time talking to Celine (@SecretNudges) as well. Hahah! But many things had happen and I'll probably write in another post in regard to my r/s with TIN. But for now, I'm currently a free spirit and going solo. No longer tied with them anymore.

August

Done with the last presentation for semester 3.1. I remembered how stressful it was because my group was the last group to present for our class. The stress and tension.... I can't even!!!! Partly because its set as a director board meeting style, and questions asked is like never give face one. So yeap! Glad that its all over now!

Mr Steven FTW!!!

OHYAH! On the month of August, I also bought a new lens! Never regret buying it cause I can take nice bokeh pictures! WOOT WOOTS!!!

September

The month that I always had a love hate relationship with. Reason being its my birthday and I'm turning a year older. It seems quite unreal to me cause year by year just passed by like this. I mean, its literally in a blink of an eye!!!



My friends celebrated my birthday with me. Namely, Keekhim, Grace, and MingLong (left to right). We've known each other since ITE Higher Nitec year 1 but started getting close at the start of year 2. There are some other ITE friends that I miss though, hopefully we can get to meet out soon. :/

Part of the reason I love hanging out with them is because with them, I can act like a diva all I want cause I'm the youngest out of all of them. HAHAHAHAHA!



NEXT! My poly year 3 groupmates also celebrated my birthday with me. I truly grateful. I mean, I don't expect any fancy gatherings or presents. Just a simple dinner together will do.

Somewhere around internship. We had a simple dinner and chilling session at Timbre (which Garey loves) LOL! And they surprised me with a cake and present! ♥♥♥ But someone let the cat out of the bad and spoiled the surprise. LOLOLOLOL!!!

They got me a Victoria Secret Bombshell in Bloom! YAY TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF SLUT-INESS!

October

Celebrated Garey ma' boy's birthday! #Beyond360 + Wildpokemon wanted to give him a surprise. But ended up failing cause he manage to saw us through his window panes while me and Nicole were hiding behind some pillars! HAHAHAAHA! #UltimateFail!!!



Meet out with the usual CNOS2 bitchesss for some catch up some time in October as well. Till now, I'm glad that I've made the decision to join cnos for the 2nd time cause I've made really good friends with these people. I mean, how often can you actually make friends with people you know online?!!!!



And again, celebrated another bitches's birthday! This time round it's Grace's birthday. Everytime I hand out with them, I'm so glad that they're in my life. ♥



Days on internship were tough. But Mellysa did not forget about me. (Inserts many AWWWWWW)!!!
This girl asked me out for cafe hopping and in the end, she treated me to a birthday meal instead. ^.^y ♥

November

For the month of November, its where most of my friends and I anticipate, because at the end of the month it will be the end of our internship. Surviving with only $450 per month is really a torture. Having to be careful of how I spend every single cents is really tough. I mean, towards the end of the year is where money is needed the most. Birthdays, presents, festive seasons such as new year and christmas. OH MY GAWWWWD!!!!

But nevertheless, I'm willing to spend it on the people that is worth spending it on. ♥
Celebrated Keekhim's and MingLong's birthday on the month of November.

Brought Keekhim to dancing crab and surprised her with 2 presents. Hehe! ^.^y
As for MingLong, we wanted to surprise him and not tell him that we're gonna bring him to adventure cove. But guess what? This smartass know it all decided to spoil the whole plan by making a correct guess. LOLOLOL THAT BITCH!!! (We celebrated both their birthdays on different days though).




For the month of November, I got invited to attend the premiere of Mocking Jay part 1, courtesy of Cathay Ad House. Thank you so much for the tickets! ♥

And because of this invite, I get to see my awesome cnos2 peeps as well! :D

December

Month of December was the start of semester 3.2. I still remember how stressful it was. Juggling with 3 individual assignments and 3 group projects. But all and all, I'm glad that I've made it. The friendships forged with my group mates, the late nights at brand study. It's all worth it. ♥

Manage to pull out some time to celebrate bitchnic's birthday cause this girl was telling our friend (WeiJing) that we didn't celebrate her birthday! LOL! (Judging....)

So sorry everything was very last minute. I promise in years to come (if there is) it will be more effort put in okay!!!! ♥



As I was busy with the last 3 modules of my polytechnic life. I didn't really had time to go out and have fun. All I did for December was school, home, school, home. And the cycle continues. But at the end of 2014, I had a annual staycation with *le cousins and Park Avenue Rochester Hotel. Link to the post over here -> http://www.donnlicious.com/2015/02/goodbye-friends-hello-strangers.html



And well. That sums up my whole "journey" for the year 2014. It's pretty boring I guess??? LOLOLOL!!! But I'm sure 2015 is gonna be even more boring. HAHAHAHA! As I'll be enlisting probably this year (not sure when though). I think I'll have lesser time to hang out, and also to take pictures of myself. HAHAHAHAHA!!!

But who knows right? The future is still unknown to me. Cheers to a better future. Hahaha!

School's Out

[Tueday, 5th August 2014]

Yay! Just like the title speaks! SCHOOL'S OUT! Just had my last presentation and I'm just left with 2 more tests and it's officially over.

#TeamSUPNIGGAS

Had my last presentation last Tuesday and it was fabulous! Took a selfie with my Strategic Marketing tutor. One of the awesome tutor for my course! Hahaha! Sometimes, the words he say and used is so twisted you have to think deeper to understand. LOL!

On the same day, my group and I also submitted our last report. Hahah! The craziest and kinkiest people I've ever met! LOLOLOL!!!




I rarely take pictures of myself wearing formal. But on that day, there's feel. So why not?! Hahaha! Here's an outfit of myself wearing formal wear! Tsktsk


Right after presentation, my group and I went off to celebrate! Hahaha! Had steamboat for dindinz at Bugis area. Not bad I guess? It's $22 per pax! And it's free flow of everything. Buffet style! And it's $22, so you can't expect really good quality of food over there. Hahaha!

[Wednesday, 6th August 2014]

Went for an hour of lesson of school. Kinda feel that I've wasted my time, cuz I just went there, listen to my classmates presenting on some topic of that particular module, and after that got to know my results for my reflection journal (which is 10%) of my grade. Hahaha! I scored 8/10! YAY ME!

After that, my group and I went to have our early dinner at Pastamania. Yummz! Now they're having this promotion at $12.90, which comes with a main course of your choice, drink, garlic bread and soup of your choice. Quite worth it I think.

It was chilly that day, so I figured that it would be a perfect day to wear my knitwear! :)

So here's an outfit of the day picture!

I absolutely love all the picture this friend of mine took for me! A-D-O-R-E her skills!!!

An Old School Entry

HI (to imitate dear Fennimisoo)

Today I have the sudden urge to write a blog entry, no reason why, just felt like it. Just like the old school days, where I can post dozens of entries in A DAY. Hahaha! But that was then, where all my entries like no substance one. Lololol!!!

So today, I went to school and saw my tutor for Services Marketing module, so my group members and I went to talk to her like how we always do. So out of the blue, we asked how was our exam results, and her reply was: Yea, not too bad, but there's people who failed. At that point of time I saw my tutor LOOKING AT ME when she said that (THERE'S PEOPLE WHO FAILED) and at instance my gut feeling was telling me, great I failed, like what's new?!!! So later she then added, but there were no failures from 3M02 (which is our class) and I immediately went WHEWW! RELIEVED!!! Hahahaha! It's like, I thought I was gonna fail this module right after I walk out of the exam hall but NO! I PASSED! Haha!

So yeap, but that tutor (also the same tutor for another module) told us that we did badly for that. It was so bad that she said it was bad. LOL!

The day ended with lunch at design school canteen with my groupmates. Talking about life, actually....

The thing that has been bothering me recently is that, a lot of my friends have already got their internship sealed and secured, those that haven't also have already been sent for an interview, but till now, there's no news of me being sent to any company for interview, which I'm quite afraid because I don't want to end up working at some reflexology or telemarketing company. I wanna work at a place where I have interest in and I can enjoy working at. Yea, so I hope I'll be getting that "sacred" email from my DIP Representatives for my internship soon. :(

The nomination period for Singapore Blog Awards, also known as SBA has come to an end, and from now till 3rd July is the judging period for the 10 finalists of each category. To be honest, I'm having hopes of making it to at least 1 category. Ever since last year, I wanted to get into the top 10, but eventually, I didn't. All my blogger friends were like saying SBA main category very hard to get into top 10 one. If you can get into top 10, you should be happy already. True enough.

So the other day, I was telling Andy that I hope to get shortlisted to the top 10 finalists for Best New Blog category, and his reply was: -.- YOUR BLOG VERY NEW MEH?!!!

Hahahaha! Well, technically my blog started last year and I began blogging religiously after CNOS 2013 which is after April 2013 mah, YES, NO??? Hahaha!

So now, I'm keeping my fingers crossed, till 3rd July, which is just 1 week away, and I hope, Joyce, Me, Andy, Joey, Damien and all my blogger friends will be shortlisted. Haha! ^.^

Daily Essentials

Recently there's lack of updates on my blog, and that's because my Mid Semester Tests is just next week! Time is really passing way too fast for me!!!

So anyways! Just a little update of what's going on recently.

My life is revolving around school and just school lately. Don't know why, but this year is passing super duper fast! It's like in a blink of an eye, half a year is gone, and soon, I'll be graduating and stepping into the workforce already!

But looking at the brighter side, I'll be going to Korea for a week after my MST's!!! Yayy! I can't wait! Now my mind can think about is just KOREA KOREA AND KOREA!!!



A week before I also went for a event at TANG MUSIC BOX kudos to Tselyn for the invite. You guys can read her blog for more details because I'm still editing the photos! Hahaha! Her Bloglink Here -> http://www.tsetsk.com/2014/05/tang-music-box.html

Also! Project Superstar 3 Audition will be held next Saturday, 7th June at Mediacorp! I'm still thinking if I should give it a shot. The reasons that are stopping is that:

1) I'm afraid I will not even get through the first round of audition.

2) If I didn't get through the audition, I don't want them to air my face on television!!!

3) I don't want to "XIA SUAY" myself...

So yeap! That's why you see recently I've been posting video of myself, singing on my Instagram.



So how is it??? Is it good enough to get through the first round of audition??!!!

AND AND AND!!! If you haven't already do so. Do follow me on my Twitter and/or Instagram! I update there more often! ^.^

Twitter                                        Instagram

https://twitter.com/dOnnlicious                                          http://instagram.com/donnlicious

Didn't have time to go out recently, that explains the lack of posts recently (Part of it). Another part is because my MST's is coming and I don't wanna be the only one in my class who fails!!! So yeap!!!

But I guess more posts will be coming up as I'm going Korea soon. and If I decide to join PSS I might also blog about my experience??? Hahahaha!!!

First Week Of School

So.... School have officially started for about a week plus already and I can't wait for it to be my term break, just so I can go overseas and be free from all the stress I'm having now.

So last week, I had a day where I have a 3hour break in between, so I suggest to my friends that we have our lunch at IKEA! (PERKS OF STUDYING IN THE EAST!)









We ordered 2 Poached Salmon, 15 Meatballs, 1 Kids Pasta, and 4 Chicken Wings and 3 Cup (refillable) for a total of $32++

Super cheap!!! After we had our lunch, we then head off 1 level down for the well known IKEA Hotdogs. 1 Cup (refillable) and 1 hotdog bun for $2!!!

I didn't get the hotdog though, instead I got myself an Ice Cream. Was quite floored when I saw how the token and the machine works. LOLOLOLOL!!!



Took an (UPPER BODY) #OOTD while waiting for the bus on the way back to school for our lesson after that. Wooohoo! Now I know who to find to take my #OOTD shots already! Hahahahah!!!

Wrap & Unwrap The Good Times

HELLO THERE EVERYONE! :D

Have you guys ever been in a terrible situation or even unfinished things that you just want to wrap it up??? Today, I'll be sharing with you guys 3  things that I've yet to achieve/complete that I want to wrap it up.

So without further ado, lets begin wrapping!!!

1. Performing For People
Since young, I've always wanted to be a performer/singer, and I'm glad I was given the opportunity. Back when I was still studying in ITE for my last semester, I was given the opportunity to perform for the old folks at Sarah Home. Seeing the smile on their faces is definitely heart warming.


Eventhough my singing wasn't VERY fantastic, but I'm glad that I'm able to put a smile on their faces. We have to start everything from small right?? So I guess it all starts with this?

So I'm hoping one day, I'll be able to wrap this up by performing on a big stage for everybody, and not just for the old folks. ^.^


2. Having My Mom & Dad To Witness My Graduation
I'm not the smartest kid around, Talk about my studies I'm definitely not your A grade kind of student. Throughout my years of study, I'm really thankful for what my Mom and Dad has given to me. Their time and effort, their selflessness towards their one and only son...

When my Mom heard that I'll be wearing the graduation gown for my graduation in ITE, she was thrilled, and she wanted to be there, watching me receiving my certificate. But sadly, my Dad was working and he couldn't make it...


Now that I've successfully graduated from ITE, and I'm currently pursuing my diploma at Temasek Polytechnic. I hope to wrap this up by completing my course successfully, and have both my Mom and Dad present at my Polytechnic graduation ceremony, witnessing me receiving my diploma certificate.


3. To Be A Part Of The Amazing Race
I know this sounds crazy! But I've always wanted to take part in some reality TV show like America's Next Top Model, The Amazing Race, or even MasterChef (Eventhough I can't cook for nuts)...

Just so it happens that a few days ago, I was tweeting to my BBF!!! Saying that 5years ago, we both did agreed that WE WILL take part in The Amazing Race! Just that we don't know when it will be!!! Hahahaha!



So probably when time to come, I would like to wrap this up by taking part in The Amazing Race with my BBF!!! I would love to travel around the world with her!!! Doing crazy tasks and meeting different people from all around the world!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After sharing so much about wrapping up certain things in life, now let me share with you guys how I unwrap my happy moments with none other than... MY MOM!!! ♥

Here's a video that I've specially made for this post! 

ENJOY!!!
