Live while we're young

Spent a very fruitful friday of back to school shopping with Jesmin! Can't believe it's the first time we actually went out properly, after like 3 years? So glad we did though, talked and laughed a hell lot. 
Our dinner- sushi and salmon (just cause we were having cravings but didn't feel all too hungry) + a beef wrap for moi
Cute halloween socks from topshop that was tempting me, but no!
On the train ride home, taking photos shamelessly in a crowded train
My buys of the day! Really satisfied with what I bought at Bugis, total value for $$$. And we have already planned a 2nd shopping trip on our quest to find some clothes that she wanted and of course more for myself too!

Saturday felt like explorer day with cs, I'm glad there's someone like him who's willing to travel around with me to try food at ulu/new places hehe.
#ootd #wiwt #momsaysilooklikeaschoolgirl #converse Explorer outfit and ready to walk with my comfortable sneakers!
We found it! #success and we didn't get lost
We ordered the Cheesie toast, Sir Benedict & Bird's Nest! (y) delicious food and worth the travel :P
Hahaha I was like "wait, I need to gif this!" when he wanted to gobble down the whole egg yolk
Watched The Perks of Being a Wallflower, was so-so, but we felt the movie was kinda (as cs says) 'choppy'. Still the sad parts were really quite relatable and I almost teared a couple of times. I think logan lerman played a good charlie, especially in those awkward scenes and ezra miller (patrick) is just too hilarious! 3/5 overall?
FAMISHED after the movie and had our pork chop dinner!!! It tasted so good but the thing I hate is how hard it is to slice it to bite sizes, felt like shoving the whole thing in my mouth sometimes.
o^_^o

School's starting tomorrow, back to reality. Was just thinking how fast this all actually feels, how everyone's growing up. Not just in numbers, but getting over obstacles and taking chances in things that, I guess, some of us never thought we could/would. I'm happy to say I'm really thankful for where I'm at, feels like I'm going in the right direction.

Stay Home Tuesday

Staying in and cooking lunch for myself on a rainy day
Animal shaped pasta with diced potatoes, lettuce and fried eggs topped off with tomato cream crab sauce. It doesn't look that good but it doesn't taste too bad. Cooking today was a last minute decision, I was just thinking of things to do to occupy my time yesterday and decided to cook. And also cause cooking just gives me a sense of achievement, especially when I make something edible hehe.

The Maine- Everything I Ask For (acoustic) when John had messy long hair in 08

"I don't know what she sees in me.
But I'm happy- she's happy now, that she's with me.
And I'm freaking out, cause I'm just so lucky."

"Everything I ask for, everything I ask for and so much more"

Everything I ask for

Everyday I remind myself how lucky I am. It has really been so long since I went to sleep without a sad thought in my head. Whenever we meet, I can't bear to leave even if it means we'll stay out till morning.  I'm happy how I'm just myself with you, how I can laugh and cry. And I feel the walls I built slowly coming down. Thank you for everything, for being understanding, patient and always listening. I couldn't ask for anything better. I like how neither of us thought we would end up here and it never cross my mind in the past how the person that is the best for me was right in front of me. Takecare xx

To the island of peace

DAY 1:
Ready for the 2.5 hour flight with Mumford & Sons
Felt like I came to a luxurious house, the first 30 words I said when I entered was probably "omg omg omg omg omg...."
Kuta Beach, just to walk around cause we forgot to bring our bathing suits along

Walking down the streets for some shopping- honestly, the only place where we bought clothes at reasonable price (after bargaining)
Back at the beach to catch the sunset
Dinner (meh)
The cute dog I wanted to feed at the beach (while waiting for our driver) but had no food with me. Kept talking to it and apologising for having no food on me cause it looked at me with those pathetic eyes 

 DAY 2:
Ordered room service because we were starting the day early

Monkey Zoo


Shopping at a local market- pretty array of boxes and such


Lunch: Babi Guiling
Chilling at a cafe with the view of the padi field
So adorable, had to get one and it's hanging on my mirror now hehe o^_^o


THIS IS LEGIT. The owner of the car even let us take a photo in it and I got to sit in the driver's seat ok!
The luwak cat! They actually make it eat coffee beans and take the coffee beans from it's poop to make the coffee (in a very sanitary way so... its not as bad as it sounds)
At this farm where they specialise in different types of coffee, I swear I tried like 12 different types and majority tasted sogoddamn good!
Dinner @ Dirty Duck: Mixed Satay Platter (tastes like otah imo), Crispy Duck (SEX *_*), Calamari

Foodgasm: Russian Pie- so sinful but so good I finished most of it. By far the best meal I had in Bali

DAY 3:
Started the day off with water rafting which was such an awesome experience and the highlight of the whole trip. Our guide was so kind to let us out of the boat to drift/swim in the waters and rocky areas, when other guides did not let the other tourists do the same. Really felt like I could be flung out of the boat sometimes, but such an adventurous experience, wished it was more hardcore though. The water rafting experience danger level here: low. Spent 2 hours rowing a 10km long route. A good first experience of water rafting :)
Chilling with coconuts and sweet potatoes
Watching the sunset at Tanah Lot
Dinner: free flow salad, prawns, tandoori chicken, pork chop, fish (not in the picture)

DAY 4:
Breakfast at the villa
How petrol is kept here. We initially thought they were really vodka but expired thus the colour.
 Flight back to Singapore
