TV DAY!

Two months back my dad bought the smart TV and I swear it brings television to a whole new level! The moment I got hooked onto the computer, I hardly find myself at the television.

But because of YouTube , Internet and Netflix (free trial HAHA) I found myself using more of it after we got the TV! 

Today, Justus & I got on Netflix and watched Walt before Mickey and The Social Network. Because I wanted to watch them HEHE. I've always wanted to watch The Social Network and I finally did! Yay. They were great movies! Inspirational, definitely. Glad we bought chips the day before!

After the movies, we went on channel 8 and watched some local dramas and then star awards 2016! Haven't really sat down to watched it and I realize local drama are actually not bad? (At least from the short clips that I saw just now) 

Maybe I'll go on toggle to watch some of them like 118 and dream maker! Haven't seen them yet. 

Yeah and my Taiwan trip posts will be up soon I promise! (Once I stop being lazy)

I'm back again!

Hello everyone. I am back on blogger again! This time, not sure how long I will be staying on this platform though. Everyone knows i'm always back for maybe one or two posts and i'll disappear for another few months before coming back again! But i'm pretty determined to stick around for some time for now. Yay?

I'm actually using back one of my old blog URLs god knows how long ago but the posts ( that i've already deleted because I realize I was a fraking rude bitch back then ) are dated back to 2008 which was is a wholly EIGHT years ago! Gosh, how much I have changed.

So anyway, from March 27 to April 13 I actually daringly went on a trip to Taiwan. First up, I booked the trip around end February and had been so overly excited for it because it's gonna be the first time i'm gonna be travelling ALONE! (At least thats what I thought)  It kinda feels pretty intimidating at first. I was up for a backpacking trip so I went ahead and got myself a new set of travel towel (really compact and convenient, I swear a normal towel is 5x its size), backpack (which didn't arrive until 2 days before I returned from my trip *rolls eye*) and other essentials.

Few days before I flew, found out that Jiahao was also going to be on a backpacking trip to Taiwan! So I conveniently joined in with him and his friend, Eric! I'll be posting more about the trip in a few posts to give a more detailed overview of how it went, from my experience staying in strangers house to joining the guys on the journey!

Yeah and god must have played a trick on me, making me fall in love just weeks before I depart Singapore. But i'm so ever thankful for my boyfriend for helping me prepare for my trip, from packing my bag and ensuring I had everything I needed, buying a parka for me because I really liked it, sending me off and everything he has ever done! Especially grateful for his patience of 17 nights.

Sorry for always being so wordy with no pictures. I promise Taiwan posts will be colorful. ^^

Last

This is going to be my last post of 2015! It's been a good year and I'm looking forward for 2016 that is arriving in another 10 minutes.

Time to set my resolutions of the year! 

PINEAPPLE BURNS MY TONGUE

Opened the fridge at noon and saw some cubes of yellow goodness wrapped up in cling wrap. So I naturally thought they were mangoes because a few days back my dad sliced up a mango for me. Stole a bite and omg they were actually pineapples!

But they were not sour or anything. It was actually pretty nice and sweet so I took another plate and emptied half of the cubes onto my plate. Was enjoying my pineapples while YouTubing but after finishing my serving, I put my plate aside....

And my tongue started feeling prickly. It's super uncomfortable T_T. And since pineapples were the last thing I ate, I googled pineapples and prickly. And there were lots of similar experiences. Thank god I'm not the only one.

So today I learnt that pineapple contains a kind of enzyme, Bromelain, that digest protein. It is a kind of meat tenderizer. And it is kind of digesting my tongue!? Yuck gross.

One more takeaway from today's pineapple eating session is that I should never eat pineapple fresh anymore.

HAHAHA.

My first blood test

Today I went to the docs to check on my throat as I have been having this persistent sore throat for over 4.5 weeks. I've got a swell by the side and was told that I needed to do a blood test.

I was feeling in denial, like oh my gosh blood test?! I really wanted to know my blood type (although I'm suppose to be doing the test to check on blood count and smth) HAHA. But yeah I requested to know my blood type. Hmm, I'm actually pretty excited about it. People are always telling me "how come you don't know?! It's in your health booklet!" But goddam it . If it WAS in my health booklet obviously I wouldn't be so dumb that 20 years into my life I didn't know about it right...? 

Ok so about the process. Is it just me or that I'm really afraid of needles but I do have a high tolerance of pain? So before the needle pokes in my skin, I was pretty jumpy about it. But like it really didn't feel like much. So 5ml of my blood was extracted and I felt extremely dizzy right after. Gosh, I can't ever imagine myself ever going for blood donation. I would probably faint after they drained 10ml of blood. But yeah my weight doesn't fall in the group that is allowed to donate blood.

Alright so that's my first blood test experience and overall it didn't hurt. And like friends have told me that you can feel the blood draining into the syringe but I didn't feel that at all? To anyone who would be going for a blood test in the future, don't be afraid! The most you're going to feel is really just a small ant bite. Yes that's what it felt like, an ant bite.

What a day

While the memory is still fresh in my head, I shall do up a post after almost half a year of this dead page. 

So my day was pretty usual except that in the morning, I was almost at the bus stop and I realize that I didn't bring my wallet. So I had to walk all the way back and take it. Then the day was pretty usual. 

Until I realize that I could not find my wallet after I ended work and had already left the compound. It didn't really bother me because I thought I left it at my workplace. Until the horrifying thought that came to my mind of me dropping my wallet at the bus stop. Because I thought its at my workplace, I didn't actually bothered to look around my surroundings when I was at the bus stop. ITS TOO LATE NOW 

So I'm pretty stressed up right now, is my wallet at my workplace or did someone take it? Biggest worry is the number of cards I have to replace. Sigh. I really hope I hadn't lose it. 

Ok and then I had to borrow $1.50 from a stranger which was pretty awkward and I felt really bad because she told me I don't have to return her. :( I wanted to bank transfer her though. Thank you kind soul. If you see this, please know that in really grateful.

Then I had to mail out registered mail and yup I didn't have any money on hand. Was meeting my best friend and needed her to come to my rescue. Except that the post office was supposed to close at 8pm and she only reached Tampines at 8:02pm. Hahaha thankfully the staffs waited for me. Love the people at Singpost. :-*

Ok then we ate at pastamania and the most heartbreaking thing is that I have a membership card but my wallet is not with me so... We missed out on the 15% off (my auntie traits emerging).

Ok that concludes my day! ☺️
