Lack of updates the past few days because everyday is dance dance dance. My mum hasn't really realised that I seemed to be going for dance almost everyday but I think it'll be fine if I can show her that I can manage work + dance together well (hehehe). Speaking of which, I really hope to get the job at pv becauseeeee I really need $$, not just to buy phone but also contacts D: With me using contacts almost daily and the supply running down rapidly. It's just omg.

And when I'm not dancing, I'm watching this drama, which I've already watched but I really like the front part when it was the younger actors. Like they have more chemistry than the adults, so they made me cry so bad. It's sooooooooooooooo saaaaddddddddddddd (I could be quite distracted by my surrounding but still cry cry cry cry CRY). But generally, you just cry quite a bit throughout the drama lah. Just not as much as One Litre of Tears because that one is incomparable.

And I'll be flyinggggg off to Cambodia in a few more days. A little scared but mostly excited. But also quite sian because I'll have to miss quite a few training and the results release date and IS choosing date (I think). WHY. WHY THIS TRIP CANNOT BE A SUBSTITUTE FOR ANY IS MODULE. WHY.

This is the end of a short post. Goodbye.

Random updates because I am bored:
1. The haze. I can smell it and my eyes are getting irritated. And you thought the haze last June was worse but no leh, I didn't smell it the other time and my eyes were less irritated, I think. Now I just feel like closing my eyes and sleep because it's feeling crappy.

2. Read Salvation of a Saint and concluded that I don't have a mind brilliant enough to become a murderer so I can safely read all the murder and suspense stuff.

3. Matcha Mcflurry is back. Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. It's by far one of the nicest seasoned mcflurrys (mcflurries?) ever and it still has Oreos in it. The passionfruit one was nice but there's not Oreos. Really? I thought the attraction of Mcflurry was because of its Oreos? Why remove it in a special flavour? :( Didn't try the sesame one because I don't really like sesame so there.

4. The plane that disappeared still has yet to be found, there are passengers who used stolen passports. I've been thinking that the plane has been hijacked since I read that there are 2 passengers onboard who used stolen passports. But the thing is where is the plane now??? Please let all those innocent people be safe. Watched the news this afternoon and some minister in M'sia said that if it is necessary, they will have to improve the system (or something of the sorts). Really? Don't you think what has happened is bad enough? Do you want like 20 other people to get through using stolen passports and hijack more planes before you do something about it?

ST had some profiles of the passengers onboard. These two are seriously heart-wrenching. (Screenshot from ST)

 "When is daddy going to Skype?" Oh my goodness.

 "I'll be back in a week. Then we can cut cake together" I think my heart just shattered.

5. Number 4 has made me kinda scared about flying since I'll be flying in a week. But mainly because I'm a super paranoid person. Haven't pack because no packing list. Mum and Dad keep demanding why I don't know much details. But the thing is I'm not provided so I cannot say what. Not like I get money for keeping things like that from them right.

6. My lower back aches like siao (yesterday also) but my bruise is gone. I'm planning to name my bruises this holiday to keep track but I don't have that great of a naming sense (except naming Su Min Martha) so I'll just name them by number. So far, bruise 1 and bruise 2 has visited. Bruise 1 is gone, bruise 2 is healing. :) I hope my back recovers tomorrow. And the plane mysteriously gets back safely or at the very least, be found.

Hi, I basically gave up finding a job because nobody wants someone who can only stay for about 5 weeks and goes overseas for 2 weeks. :(
So I joined S24 (yea, I think it's official that I'm joining now sigh) because dance dance dance. Even though I really appreciate having the freedom to spend my time, slacking and going out and fulfilling some of the holiday bucket list (actually not really) but aiya, dance to keep fit lor. Seems extremely challenging -> lose weight de. And maybe I still stand a chance to work for about 1 or 2 day per week for this job nearby, by splitting the target days/hours with Pearly and Hai Ting? This one not confirm also lor. And if I don't get to work for those few days, I can read all the books on my list (Eleanor & Park, Salvation of a Saint, The Mortal Instruments) or wait in agony for the third book of the Shadowland series to come out (I think it's going to be the last book, which is good because no more cliff hanger endings that you have to wait for 10 months to read).
So to sum it up, the days I have to dance on some Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays (Saturdays are slightly worse 'cause I have to switch between S24 at 10-12 and BP at 7-9 X.X). Expecting the list to grow longer when the competition draws closer, which seems far but it'll come by in a flash D: Not gonna join ITM this year because I need a sane mind to do capstone and 2 exams next sem, if I join hor, I don't know what state my mind would be in (but definitely not in the healthy state).
Went to Little Pancakes with my dancers and grandmama Choo yesterday. Our meeting time was 3.30pm but I was scared that I would be late so I came out of the house at 2.15pm because Google Maps said it would take an hour plus to reach. Annnnnnddd, I reached at 3pm -.- (I had to transfer a bus, which I waited 10 mins for, which showed how google map betrayed me for telling me such an inaccurate time) And a few of my unfilial kids reached at 3.40pm or 3.35pm with their grandmama Choo because they bought Koi and never asked their mama (me) if I want or not :(
I had the Ham & Cheesy one, and my, the pancakes are really small but the serving is still enough to make you full. Oh and I love places that already count the GST for you/places with no GST. And I liked that they did not pester me when I walked in alone and waited for half an hour without ordering things whoop.

Here's a screenshot of my pancakes because I am too far from my phone and cannot transfer the pictures to my laptop. Meaning there's no group picture because the group picture is not in my laptop too and it's mostly blur hahahaha. My love for pancakes increased just a little because I'm always a waffle lover even though the ingredients are the same (right?) But the lettuce is like omg damn sour. I would have finished it if the balsamic vinegar (or at least that's what I think it is) is not that sour. Ok I meant, if the dressing for the lettuce is not balsamic vinegar because balsamic vinegar is not balsamic vinegar if it's not sour. Balsamic balsamic balsamic hehehehiokhiokhiok. Got the spelling right on first try.

We went to school after Little Pancakes and I felt a little hungry again haha. So I drank teh bing (Mum, don't scold me please!) while watching the rest eat. Then felt like puking because I was too bloated from the water lol. I know I'm weird but sometimes I'm reaaaaaaaaaally weird.

Bye, gotta go get some knee pads before the bruise on my knee get bigger because training. But isn't it weird that it's the inside of my knee that got the bruise when it should be the outside?

*inserts invisible rants about Person A. All of you won't see it because it's a draft that's never gonna get posted MUAHAHAHA*

TODAY (or rather, yesterday) WAS A GOOD SELFIE DAY WHOOP. SUPER DUPER MOMENTOUS MOMENT (momentous moment hahaha), like come on the last multiple nice selfie day was almost half a year ago, check that giant picture on the top of the page and it wasn't very good lighting some more hiok hiok hiok. So obviously I need to upload pictures.

This is the look at me I'm fabulous smile so need to have cartoon crown on my head.

This is normal commoner Shi Ling hahahahahaha.

Ok, so I went out to go spotlight shopping (which I did not buy any even though I spotted this super cute cloth but not suitable for laptop sleeve de, sian), random food hunting and mild gossip session with Meidian and Kailin. Had the famous bbq pork bun from Tim Ho Wan (only hahaha, because we heard the rest are like normal normal only), the colour of the bun can be nicer lah really. More golden brown? The ones we had were like prematurely taken out of the oven like that leh.
Then we had some shaved ice thing thing which is pretty ok.
And for dinner, we had a anti-climatic KFC dinner because I only had $7 left hahahaha Oh but if you are this great fan of Bandito (is it how you spell it) Pocket, faster go eat now because it's back. I'm very meh towards it, because it's spicy lah.

I'm a little hungry now, so let me post this and go to sleep before I find excuses to eat stuff in da haus.

Oh hello

Haven't blogged for ... 2 days? Hehe. Once again, my favourite way of saying what I've done the past few days plus random stuff.

1. Pre-YEP stuff
It's pretty cool because it was my first time visiting DiD and they said that the scenario was built for YEP students before they go on their trip so it makes me think what the scenarios will be if it was for other things. Here's a true picture of what you see inside

Yup, with a small red light on top too. When we went outside, I was slightly dizzy for like an hour. Hahaha

Then we went to a student care centre, which made me realise how I take really long to warm up to kids because look at ITM, I only felt closer to the kids when we were at Kallang Theatre lol. Makes me a little scared because we're going to a primary school at Cambodia. But there was this super duper hyper boy who sounded like he needed an ambulance because when he laughed, he was breathing so heavily hahahaha

Next meeting is on next wed, 10am - 5pm or something!!! SO LONG THE HOURS. And I'm looking forward to pack my luggage because I like packing things into boxes (technically a luggage is a box, don't argue with me). Hiok hiok.

That was all for Monday, I had a seriously hard time recalling what I did at night just now, but when I recalled I was like 'oh right, I did nothing.'

2. Spotlight, dinner, bms
Tuesday was quite sian in the day because I found out that I didn't get a call from my potential employer (HOW, NEED TO FIND ANOTHER JOB, LIFE IS DIFFICULT WHEN ALL THE EMPLOYERS ARE LOOKING FOR LONG-TERM PART-TIMERS OR PRETTY GIRLS), then I spent the day drifting in and out of sleep. Oh and I painted my nails and I think it looks pretty decent :D

Cannot really see 'cause it's silver. But watching tons of tutorials kind of worked. Or maybe just because it's silver so it's not that visible so cannot really see if I made a mess?

Then I went out at 4.20 to plaza sing so I can go spotlight and look for materials to sew my laptop sleeve, but the cloth not thatttt cheap and there's no pattern that struck me like "OMGSONICEIWANT", so I left without buying anything. (going to spotlight again later because Meidian wants to buy her knitting stuff I think.)
Met the hobos for dinner and because every time we meet at Scape, lunch/dinner will always be like Koufu or Macs so I dragged them to 18 Chefs and I have no picture of my food because it's baked rice and nothing much interesting to see. (but my sauce is creamy mango which makes it special, not bad lah)

And then we went for BMS meeting, which I remained quite quiet throughout except when I said if we want to do our stuff (since it's supposed to be a secret cannot say what we gonna do mah) on a train track, we just wait for it to breakdown then can liao (and a few of them laughed). Picture of those who came~~~ (Suat kee and I looked slightly similar hur hur hur)(koped from Kay's insta bahahaha)

 And then I went home and saw Meowna waiting for me. Actually, I think she's just trying to claim the floor as hers by lying in the middle of nowhere but she saw me and she jumped to her feet. (Awww)

"Come! I bring you home!" she meows. Hahahahahaha

Random interesting things:
Came home from breakfast just now and told mum that I saw her friend. She said she saw the same friend in her dreams and they gossiped about me... Why do people dream of more normal things while I dream of people dying and stuff grrrr

While listening to Let It Go, I might have remembered half of Elsa's actions in the movie. For example,
Let it go *conjures pretty flakes on one hand*,
Let it go *conjures pretty flakes on another hand*,
Can't hold it back anymore *conjures Olaf*
Let it go *conjures pretty flakes on one hand*,
Let it go *conjures pretty flakes on another hand*,
Turn away and slam the door *turns away and slam invisible door, snowflakes drop*
I don't care *conjures snowflakes with both hands on one side*,
What they're going to say *conjures snowflakes with both hands on another side*
Let the storm rage on (I don't know if there's any action here),
The cold never bother me anyway *releases her cape with much swag*

It's gonna be damn long if I continue but obviously places like when she runs up her icy stairs, makes her palace, throws her crown, unties her hair, change her outfit and walks to the balcony with so much sass will not be forgotten. :)
Sometimes I am truly amazed by the things my brain remembers. Why no remember exam notes instead????

It's raining?!

Mum just shouted that it was raining and it is! How long do you think it will last? I guessing less than 5 minutes but I do hope it'll be longer because all the poor grass in Singapore are dying.

So it's Sunday and there is still no reply from the job I went to interview for on Thursday. My back is aching and I have no idea why and what I did yesterday that could have caused it. My arm is still like 0.5% sore. So I listened to Latch (Acoustic) by Sam Smith about 20 times already (only found the name of the song yesterday) because Mel used it for cool down in the past few weeks and I thought it was nice. (But nothing can be compared to the speed of Vivien listening to Let It Go, I think she might have hit 250 already hahaha).

OH and I bought beer for the sister on the way home yesterday (she asked me to buy alcohol when I come back from Cambodia, tsk) and the person didn't even ask me for my card even though I'm wearing the NP50 shirt. Do I look old or is the person lazy? Or both? Or she has a age-reading mind?

So I went to BPP just now because it's the holidays and am pretty much allowed to do anything (legal) I want. So I went to the library and borrowed books, which is about some murder stuff again.

Don't go thinking that I'm a future murderer because I'm not going to be lah. I was first kinda tricked into reading suspense stuff a few years ago because I thought I was going to read about the typical rich-girls-backstabbing-each-other (NOT LITERALLY) high school stuff then when I read it, I was like WOAH, OK GOT MURDER INSIDE DE. That's was what got me started because I thought it was going to be a normal school girl thing BUT NOPE. So I was damn sad when the series ended (there were 2 series and they were linked and they ended about the same time some more). Then she wrote a new series called Shadowlands and it's more scary because as I read, I feel like I was getting chased by the murderer too (I'M SERIOUS). And she writes the book so excitingly, and she ends with a freaking cliff hanger (almost about 100 storeys high, if I had to make a comparison) "Yes, Rory, everyone on the island is dead." After 10 months of painful waiting then I finally know WHY everyone on the island is DEAD and she ends the second book with yet another cliff hanger. Kate Brian, I clap for you. HURRY UP AND RELEASE THE THIRD BOOK.

In case, you're wondering why Kate Brian is such a dark author, she actually writes more stuff under her real name, which is more towards the typical high school girl stuff. But I really like how she can switch between all these bitchy things to dark stuff.

Meowna update: She was having a nap near the lift when I came back. She woke up by herself like if there's a thought bubble you would see "!!!" so I called her to follow me but she stared at me like how my sister would look at me if I woke her up in the middle of the night. Oh well.

Episode 2 of my parents are nice (I kinda forgot about it previously :P)
1. Mum calls me at about 8.30pm every time that I said I was going home for dinner but haven't appeared at home yet.
2. Dad (tried to) made me feel better about my sore arm after injection on Friday because he said he had one too on Thursday (he was sick), not that I felt fine about my arm after that because sore is sore HAHA.

Will be bored so updates will be really random, really often in the next month.
Ok, the rain has stopped. That is expected. Time to listen to Latch again hiok hiok hiok.

Jelly jelly

The official start of holidays for NP kids is today so obviously I need to post something right right right. In my style, so it will be point form with elaboration when required. So far the three days after exams have been quite busy sia.

1. Exam
Only got 1 paper but it was not exactly easy for me because the things I remember were like half half only. GPA please don't fail me this sem by having negative or no improvements. But preferably something high enough to bring it back to a 3.0 or even 3.1 hiok hiok hiok (goal is not too far away 'cause 2.9928. Last sem I improved by 0.046.. Much significant, so wow)

2. Class BBQ
A somewhat successful class outing at last! Headed to Hannah's condo after the paper and most people went :D Still smelling nice at the end of the day (Hair sniffing fest between me, Kai Lin, Vivien and Qian Hui) (because I didn't cook muahahaha) (I use Dove shampoo thanks thanks). Somebody shouted out of the window from upstairs to 'shut up' lol. Come on, it's only 8pm at that time.

The class minus 3 people~~

My hair likes to act cute by qiao-ing sometimes. Heh heh
Went home at 11pm, slept at 1am.

3. Holiday job hunting
Woke up the next day AT 7AM WOW, FIRST DAY OF HOLIDAY SOME MORE. Because 9am at Ngee Ann City. Then we walked around ION then went to Tai Seng for more interview. And went to Meidian's house where I officially received my first mahjong lesson (learning speed still faster than my brother, just like when I learnt dai di). Realised that dai di and mahjong are actually slightly similar (prefer dai di any time because it's more portable). Went home at 8.45pm, ate dinner at 10.20? The things I do during holidays, so weird. hiok hiok

 First Dunkin' Donut, yes, very little life experiences I have.

 Charlie & Co. Student sized burger, the cheese was too overwhelming for me so I gave it to the rest. Why can't they put normal cheese??!!!?!?

Okok tiles only, I won the first and last game hahaha. Su min had so much beginner's luck she won almost every other game because she never even played cards before so it's the ultimate beginner's luck. Every time I almost win but Su min took it away sigh.

Still haven't receive call from the company leh, sad sad. I could have started work if the other 2 that I applied for wanted me but they wanted people who can stay on longer terms so too bad :(

4. Friday
Vaccination for Cambodia and dance! The vaccination took less than 2 minutes (counting from the moment I stepped into the room), and the nurse told me to breathe in deeply, I was only one-third of my deep breathing then the needle went in and I was like !!! in my head. Nurse, you no give me chance to breathe, I am sad HAHAHA. So the nurse kinda freaked me out a little because siem reap apparently is a malaria-filled (? is it the correct description) and I keep getting bitten recently so I SCARED. Then Glennis managed to use her magical convincing powers to get the teachers to buy 2 cans of repellent instead of 1 so we can share or something. Then me, choo and Glennwas went for lunch at Ajisen. Then we went to school and just slack because of our injections then our arms are quite sore so we cannot do anything. (Did I say that Glennis arranged the date for the injections bearing in mind that we had dance at night? She was like "Ah should be fine de." In the end she didn't have to get an injections and Choo and I were like "we need to partner each other and not be burden to other people") Dance was pretty ok, Choo and I managed to dance most of it muahahah but it was so weird to not be able to swing one arm completely freely while dancing.

 My Cha Shu Ramen, without the gyoza sides because the gyozas don't look nice.

Selfie before lunch because.

5. TODAY
Arm still feels a little sore. And there's alumni dance later from 7-9, I hope my arm fully recovers :P
Nope, still no job, no materials to sew for laptop sleeve, so I'm blogging here lor.
Didn't plan to go for Jesper's class too (Oops, sorry hehe) because there's too much gap in between the two classes. 12-2 at lavender (PA) and 7-9 at bugis (laselle) so don't really need travelling time. Next week ah, maybe next week. Will have to find something to do while waiting for class.

Starting to plan for my laptop sleeve and what I need so I did some research on DIY ones but the instructions I found are so confusing. I think I'll just do it any way I want haha. Maybe a nice scallop pattern by the side? (Cannot find the picture liao T-T) All I know is I need some cushion or padding for the sleeve because I am damn scared that I will drop it one day again. The one and only time I dropped my laptop was one or two weeks into poly and I alighted the bus and I have absolutely no idea how my hands did it but the sleeve slipped so I kind of sent my laptop flying to the ground (it fell parallel to the ground PHEW). Nothing was damaged so I think it must be due to the thick cushion I have for my current sleeve. :D Cushioned sleeves make wonderful pillows too muahaha.

Oh speaking of butter fingers, I spilled Coke on myself during the BBQ because I somehow didn't hold my cup properly. To think that there were people who were threatened to be dropped into the pool and I wasn't one of them but I end up spilling liquid on myself. At least it was my arm so it didn't get on my clothes. Sometimes I wonder why am I still surprised when I do things like that. But yes, I still get surprised.

LIST OF STUPID THINGS SHI LING DOES:
- trip over air (multiply about 1 million times)
- trip over the drain grille thingy (also multiply about 1 million times)
- casually swings hand into the wall (multiply 10 times)
- kicks her foot/toe on the door, the bedframe, the wall, the cupboard (multiply about 10 times)
- sends laptop flying because jelly hands
- sends coke flying on arm because jelly hands
- sends liquid eye liner because stupidity (check a few previous post ago)
- holds laptop with one hand, almost dropped it but YES FOR FAST REACTION (multiply 10 million times)
- almost cooks her hand with the instant noodle water tap at 7-Eleven (Sec 2 story, still don't know why my hand is uncooked haha)
/edit
- forgetting to bring her towel home after the cruise trip and only realised that 2 weeks later (read it on my old blog, I clap for me too)

I need to end my post here because the list is getting very long. So here's my all-time favourite picture of Meowna, whom I didn't see for the past 2 days (But I heard her fighting with other cats tsk tsk tsk), because she rarely stays still when she sees a phone.

Slight regret not joining S24 but too bad, the feeling should go away when I work haha. Excited because Cambodia, picnic, Tim Ho Wan. :DDDDD

/EDIT/ 23:54

Dance today was great (Mel please get well soon though!), we went through some of the exercises and some new ones. But I kind of strained my hip flexor or something (somewhere near that area?), so blahhhh. But I had slightly more balance while doing the exercises muahahahaha #levelup #cuemusic. Had a nice hair day (hair curled a little, all in the same direction! Woohoo), visit from Meowna and took a nice picture of her! (She rarely allows us to take a picture, mum tried almost everyday and I think she only had a decent photo of her. I have quite a few MUAHAHAHAHAHA *points to the photo above*). But here's the one I caught just now~

 

CUTIE
