Dinner At Renaissance

Today me family and I went to Long Feng, Renaissance to have our dinner. As usual we ate too much and now seriously I'm feeling not that great and I wish I could just puke my food out. Not in the mood to tell everything that happened today so I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves. Btw, you will notice that I did not take many pictures of the food we had because we were to engrossed in our food that I had totally forgotten to take the pictures of most of the dishes.

I Will Remember You

There is this girl who is very tall, extremely smart and funny. Her presence will take those grey clouds away immediately. This girl is one of my best friends from secondary school and her name is Priya. They say true friends are hard to find but they lied because I found you.

I loved having her and a few of my besties around back in high school. (You know who you are) The fondest memories were the ones where we would all bring our food during recess and ate together at the back of our school building, facing the graveyard and near to the school toilet. When I think about it, it's funny that we chose that particular place instead of a better one with better view and aroma. That would be our favourite spot; sitting, eating, talking and laughing together. Oh, how I miss those times.

I was and still am not really good in physics and our lessons would always be held in the laboratory. Some of us would be chosen to sit in the front row for thorough supervision and guess who was selected? Me!!!! *patting myself in the back* (proud tears) *sob sob*My physics teacher for some reasons I was not quite sure of, would always and I really mean ALWAYS asked me to stand up and answer his questions or even worse, asked me to go to the front of the class and write the solutions on the blackboard. Yay!!! I was the chosen one again!!! Judging from the countless times I kept being the chosen one, I bet I would already be a super hero by now if this was a super hero movie instead of a regular physics class. So, when I was selected to save the world, ooopppsss! I mean to answer the questions, I would always quietly and carefully looked around at my besties for anwers. Luckily all my besties were the masters of physics so they would happily tell me or should I say signalled and whispered me the answers as if those questions were a cinch. This is just another beautiful yet funny memory that will forever be in my mind and heart.

Priya has been MIA- missing in action for quite some time and to be honest, I am missing her dearly. Fortunatley, about a month ago she suddenly appeared back in Facebook and I was extremely relieved that she was okay but she soon disappeared again a few days later. Today, I received a letter from her. I'm super touched and happy that she doesn't forget about me and even has the heart to write and send me a letter. True friends will always be true friends. This is the letter she sent to me and the content.

Ody is a nickname given to me by my besties and only they can call me that. If you ever dare call me that I will seriously chop off your head, shove it down the toilet bowl and flush it.

 I will keep this forever.

Priya, I just wanna say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for the letter, thank you for being my good friend and thank you for everything. I'm so lucky and proud to have known you in this life. There will never be another one like you ever. I will be there for you if you'd ever needed someone and I will stand by you. The last time I talked to you, you told me that life was tough but you know what? You're tougher!!! Just stay strong when life gets hard because I know you're a one strong girl. Keep your spirit high and never let the lively girl in you dies. You are a diamond in a rough and you know that. We'll keep in touch soon and remember that I love you!!!
Lots of love, hugs and kisses from me too,
Ody

PS: This song's for you. It's exactly what I wanna say to you.

Nutty Professor? Yeah, Right! Nut Head? That's More Like It.

I went for my medical check-up and I'm glad I did not continue procrastinating. The place was packed like a can of sardine and it took me the whole morning for everything to be completed. If you know me really really well, you would have known that I'm the queen of self-humiliation and I will do something that is real silly and dumb sometimes. I could compile a whole book of all the embarrassing stories in my life if I want to.

So, there is no 'fun' stories to tell today except that when I was asked to pee in a cup for my urine sample (TWICE) I found myself comparing my pee with the others that were on the tray and unsurprisingly my cup was the fullest. Urine sample requires only a small amount of urine because it is usually just to check your urine acidity, whether one is pregnant or not, etc. but judging by the the amount I gave them it was like giving a marathon runner a cup of water to quench their thirst. So what did I do? Take it back and reduce the amount? No no no... I just left it there. The fullest cup wins!! The second time I went to for my 'pee competition', I almost opened the door of something that looked a lot like a refrigerator and put my bottle of urine in it. Cold urine? That's cool! The guy in the room just pointed out the place I was supposed to put my bottle and the blur me of course became a nut head and and thought that he was pointing at the 'refrigerator'. You couldn't believe how many people suddenly screamed "Noooooo" at the same time. That's just wonderful! A good wake-up call for Miss Blurry Melody. I left the room as soon as possible without saying a single word. Medical check-up, checked! Humiliation, checked!

Ready, Get Set, Don't Go

Tomorrow will be exactly 1 month time left for me to savour my moment in my comfort zone. But honestly, my feelings are all jumbled up in a big bowl of emotions. Excitement, anxiety, sadness, curiosity, you name it. As the day approaches, I'm becoming more and more nervous to leave. I'm really starting to freak out. I really have no idea what is in store for me but all I can do is think and head towards positivity. That's the least I can do to keep my spirit high. I've started packing because it is better to do it now than to do it last minute. Last minute anything just spells for disaster. I've bought quite a lot of stuff to bring along to my new "3 years hometown". There are still so many things I have to do before I can breathe a sigh of relief. So for now I think I need an extremely big inhaler to keep my heart beating.

 

Red Velvet Cupcakes

I baked red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing last Saturday and this is how they look. They tasted delicious but I still need some improvement on the icing and a serious adjustment on the recipe of the icing.

The cup is way to big. The only type of cup I have at home so don't waste it.
