Post YEP Trip Gathering!

I haven't posted much. (I know, like really RARELY) Well, I shall skip the part about making u a bunch of excuses for not blogging. ><

Much has happened for the past few semesters. I too went on a YEP trip to Buriram, Thailand. I still miss that place really much and my buddies (Chew Lin and Cassandra) decided that we'll start saving up for a post grad trip to shop in BKK and go down to Burirum to visit our friends and the pa-pas. They are the most adorable and sincere people I've ever met in my life.

I've spent the past few days and today doing nothing with the exception of yesterday which I spent at Botanic Gardens with my YEP trip mates ^^ and Darren. (:  :/ Typical rotting at home kind of lifestyle in SG ever since I was a kid. I've never grew out of my introvert side I guess. At least I overcame the anti-social part. (:

We had awesome brunch (more like lunch) at Food For Thought and I guess the price was not that bad considering that it was a restaurant and it was quite tasty. I was quite late as I had to walk from the Bukit Timah gate. I took my time and strolled, got lost, got distracted by fascinating insects such as giant beetles. I really didn't expect to take near 45 minutes to get to the other end of Botanic Gardens. Turned out that I was actually the first to arrive to find Miss Petrina sitting down in the middle of the restaurant. Then others started to come in one by one. Cassandra, Yun Mei, Stanley, Vijay, Jasvin, Lynn, Gek Luan and last but not least, Mr Dy with his super adorable kids! Our pedo mode was immediately switched on. >< Can't help it. They were just too cute. :P Gek Luan was there after we all finished our food as she had some lessons. Well, Vijay and I are like the only ones without instagram in the YEP group. I guess I've just created one and uploaded an ootd. :/ Not really that confident of my looks yeah. I don't seem to be that comfortable with it yet. It might just end up like my twitter account. :/

I was stuffed despite only having basic breakfast stuff like toast, scrambled eggs and bacon. It was only after I finished my breakfast that I realised that they didn't give me the butter for the toast. ): I was wondering why it was so plain. The main reason I ordered the breakfast set instead of pancakes was for the butter toast. (Big fan of anything butter but not cream) I really do wonder how I don't get fat being such a big fan of these kinda fattening food.

After that, it was an impromptu date with Darren. ^^ I felt so bad that he was waiting outside National Orchird Garden for me when I was still chatting away at Food for Thought. So I went around like a little kid going around the garden, and finally found a bench where I pestered him what the serious thing he wanted to talk about was. Turned out to be regarding the OMF/AMA application. Gosh. The three letters OMF is like some kind of intimidating monster lurking at my door waiting for the chance to pounce and devour me. D': I guess I'm still applying for it. For the experience. Not really looking forward to it as I said it is intimidating! Liberal arts and theatre arts. OMG. I'll just faint and die trying to get what's going on. I'm just a really factual and logical person. Too much to appreciate the beauty of art.

For the past week, I haven't been sleeping well cause I'm really excited and stressed that my grandma is coming!!! Excited cause I really haven't seen her in a long long while. It's not like I can go take a plane and fly to China any day. I had been so tied up with my 101 commitments for the past few vacations that I am really glad to say that I've abandoned the most time wasting and stressful CCA ever. Never regret abandoning it and going for CSIG. The idea of volunteering and being able to make a difference to someone's life really fuels me. No matter how tired I am, I seem to be real energetic when I have to go for an interactive session. Talking about that. I nearly forgot that I am going to The Pinnacle @ Duxton tomorrow for another session of KidsRead! (:

Well, I'm really glad that my grandma is coming over though I'm stressed cause it's gonna be a new environment and a totally new situation for say at least a couple of months. If a laboratory mice get the rights to be stressed when there is a new change of environment, then I should have the rights too right? Just kidding. >< I hope things are not as crazy as I've expected and that my Teochew has not slipped that bad or I feel like I'm on another Burirum right in my house minus the cockroaches, snakes and frogs. I do get beetles, bees, spiders and moths visiting me quite often in my room. Haha. Just gonna stay optimistic. ^^ It's been a long post today. I'll update again. When I feel like doing so. :X
