How's Life?

Hello. Time flies isn't it. It has been close to a month since my last update. A little update about what's going on. I have just ended my 5 weeks course at Khatib camp and am going back to Lim Chu Kang camp. Its a bit sad though cuz I'm getting used to the life here at Khatib camp already. The food variety here is good, its near civilisation, and its SUPER NEAR my house which only takes 15 minutes to go there as compared to LCK where I had to take 1 - 2 hours to reach. But oh wells, we all have to move on. Time spent at Khatib camp was awesome, all the nights out and admin time we have used to play Pokemon. HAHAHAHA!!! Friendships are also forged among one another and we sort of become closer and got to know one another better. The things I'll miss the most is definitely having lights out at 11pm and waking up at 6am.

[25.03.2016]
Booked tickets to watch Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice yesterday. It was soooooo gooooood!!! Especially at the part where Wonderwoman came to save Batman. Also when Bruce Wayne sent Wonderwoman the files of all the other superheroes! I can't wait for the WonderWoman movie that is to come out in 2017 already!!!!!!!! *PSYCHED*!!!



I searched high and low for the Lady GaGa heartbeats earpiece and I finally got my hands on it now. A few years ago, I had the Chrome one previously and it was damaged. I sent for a 1-1 exchange and I was told that they no longer produce the version 1 anymore so they gave me the version 2 one instead. But then after 1 year or so that one spoiled too so yeap. I tried finding it at Funan IT Mall and even Sim Lim Square but to no avail, all of them don't carry Lady GaGa Heartbeats anymore. It is said that they no longer produce this product anymore, so I was kinda sad la.... But luckily I manage to find this chrome black one on Carousell and thank god it was authentic. Hahaha! I was so scared that I may end up buying a counterfeit good. Now I can listen to my music with "style". LOLOLOL!!!

Till the next update. Ciao~

This Is Not Goodbye

This post is gonna be a rather personal one. Maybe not. Well, its a post specially dedicated to someone whom I really look up to, and its non other than Joey (@iisjong).

[5th February 2016]

Met up with Damien to have a farewell dinner with Joey before she set off on her journey at Aussie. When she told us that she'll most likely reside over there PERMANENTLY I was kinda sad cuz: 

1) I'll have 1 friend lesser in Singapore. 

2) I'll miss seeing her at events and stuff.

3) I have 1 less person to bitch to. :(

So. I sort of hear about Joey around mid 2012 where she was crowned the winner for Singapore Blog Award Best Y-Bloggist. That is when I get to know this bitch girl existed. HAHAHA!!!

Then come 2013, where Cathay Cineleisure together with Nuffnang once again organised Cineleisure's Next Online Sensation V2.0. I then saw Joey posted her video entry submission for the competition. Fast forward 1 month later, friendships were forged and we became good friends together with some of the other bloggers. 

Its quite amazing how time flies when you're not noticing and only come to miss the times when its gone. Like how people say, time is precious, and it does not wait. Once gone, means its gone forever.

Like what I've mentioned previously, Joey is one of the people/blogger that I look up to and pretty well respected. Not the prettiest looking but definitely one of the prettiest at heart. Normally I don't even praise my own friends like that. LOL! 

I wish for Joey all the best for her studies and future endeavour. Please stay safe, and take good care of yourself. Not sure what you'll be expecting over at Aussie but I'll be supporting you back here in Singapore. Do let us know if you're ever coming back so that we can arrange a meet up together with the rest again. :')

Till then, Bon Voyage. 

01/01/2016

Hi there humans. I feel that there's a need to write again. Somehow I miss writing on this space. Gotta get my laptop fixed soon!! :(

So anyways, life's been good so far. Spent my 01/01/16 with my poly clique. We went to Golden Mile to have some authentic Thai food which is damn dope as of what Audrey would say. Haha, all thanks to her intro. Afterwhich, we went to town to get my flip flop for army then to habourfront for dinner. Speaking of army, I'm slowly getting used to it. But still, the thought of having to stay in the same place for the remaining 1.5 years is just.....

2015 has been a mixture of good and bad so let's just hope 2016 will be all good year for me. 

Like many other people, they set new year resolutions in hope of achieving it within the year. I can't really remember though, I think I did not set any new year resolution last year cuz of incident that happened. But this year I'm gonna set some! 

1) Hope to be fitter.

Well as you guys know, I'm already losing weight, all thanks to the army. So now I want to build some muscles in order to look better physically.

2) Travel at least twice this year

Not really a resolution but I would like to achieve this. Sounds kinda impossible cuz my life is pretty much restricted due to the army but still, I'm already planning to fly during my block leave in May 2016!!! Hahah!

3) Blog More

Well, as you can see I blogged so little in year 2015, so I hope I would be able to blog more in 2016. Perhaps more about my life instead of advertorials and reviews. :)

4) Spend more time with family.

Because I'm always out and about, I tend to spend very little time with my family. There will be times where my parents are at home but I'm out and vice versa. So the time we spend together is relatively little. :/

5) Start thinking about what I want in life.

I'm at the age where I should probably start thinking what I want to achieve in life, rather than loafing and playing around. It's about time I get serious about my life already. Hahah!

I'm typing this via my phone again so yeap, can't really upload any photos up on my blog now. Let's just hope some miracle happens that my laptop decides to revive itself. Hahahahaha!!! 

Till the next post. 

Week 14

Hi there. It has been awhile already isn't it? On and off, I'll miss writing on this space here, but the thought of editing the photos and everything just puts me off a lil. But heck, thanks to the public holiday, I'm having another long weekend before the next book in. YAY!

Now I'm already 3/4 through my BMT phase and to be honest, I'm having mixed feelings. I'm not sure if I'm ready for the next phase after my BMT, going into unit and having to start in a brand new environment again...But then again, I just want to faster get the hell out of Pulau Tekong. LOL!

So anyways, enough of my army stuff. this weekend, I celebrated MingLong and Grace's birthday. Since I'm in camp during weekdays, poor Keekhim had to do most of the planning and stuff. Hahaha.

An impromptu decision to have dinner at Marché cuz 3 out of 4 of us haven't really tried Marché before. So yeap.





Once you go into the restaurant, you'll be given a card where it acts as a "credit" card. Just go around and order what you want and the amount will be debited into the card, and when you're done eating, you just have to give the cashier the card and the amount will be shown at the cash register.






There are quite a lot of variety of food there, ranging from Rösti to Pizza, to Roast Chicken and many other. Our idea is to order a few and share so that we all get to try each of the food there. To our surprise, we thought we ordered too little but ended up we had difficulty finishing our food. Hahah!






After we're all about done eating, I told them I'm gonna head to the washroom, but later did they expect that I'm coming back with a cake on my hand. Both Ming Long and Grace were surprised, cuz they didn't really expect to have a 6 inch cake presented to them. Cuz well, all these while we've been celebrating our birthdays with small cakes. HAHAHAHA!!!

P/S: I'm sorry (but I'm actually not), I really want to highlight to them that they're 24 this year!!!! LOLOLOLOL!!!




After which, we left Marché and walked around town a little bit. Ate the cake and talk about life a little too. Took a group photo and realized how much all of them didn't really change much except for yours truly. HAHAHAHAHA!!!

This was take on September 2014

A year later, November 2015

Before I end this post, here's my outfit for that day.

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! ♥

XX
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.

XX
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!
