I've had the opportunity to work free lance as a food reviewer thanks to Hildra, and the job is good. Reviewed a restaurant and a cafe since the week began, and this is what I've been indulging in:
...and more.
I have to apologize for the lack of updates due to the past 2 weeks' (and one upcoming) worth of sports - floorball, wakeboard and hockey. I wouldn't mind this life, really, considering I can do what I like, eat what I want, and know that it will all be burnt off sooner or later. This festive season is so not going to deter me. Ha-ha.
Speaking of festive season, I think this year's Christmas is going to be one quiet home affair. So is the New Year, but I would rather stay home or spend the time in someone's abode instead of squeezing my way through Orchard and dodging those damn snow sprays, whatever the young punks can lay their hands upon.
On a random note, I want my own wakeboard. Gosh, I love riding. Someone please rain money on me. Ha-ha.

The holidays have came by and 2 weeks have flown past, just like that.
The good: I've been pushing it to the limits once more. Floorball 3 times a week, hockey once or twice, wakeboard/cable-ski as and when I slot times in. Doing 1 to 2 sports a day wrecks the body, but calms the mind. Then again, the body ain't wrecked yet...there's always more to go. The game is never over till its over.
It simply reminds me why I would not give up sports to enter the modelling industry. I understand I will never be like them; I could never live their lifestyle (of nua-ness, zero activity and controlled eating); I could never look like them. Heck, I rather be wakeboarding my life away than to control those damn calories. (:
Life's been...somewhat good. Except for a few hiccups here and there.
1. The reality of friendships.
I could never view them on the same level as I did 1+ years ago again. Too many betrayals, too much superficiality, too much materialism ruling the relationships I shared with these girls. Too many in the gossip channels. And you all think I don't hear them, huh? Gossips, stories, opinions, tainted foul mouths. I am disillusioned once again.
2. I 'da-baoed' one module.
First failure in my three years of university life. The word "unsatisfactory" left me stumped for a moment - I knew my cursed prediction has came true. It means 6 modules next semester.
6 modules, floorball IVP, floorball league, wakeboard IVP, 2 part-time jobs...simply spells trouble for me. Hmm. I know some will read these and go, "hah, she deserves it. I hope she falls walking down this path." Such evil creatures I have around me. Thank God for the rest of the darlings I have around me as well. Makes life bittersweet, really.
Well, you know what that means. Catch me before 8th January, or after May. Haha, kidding my dears. Just wish me luck and bear with me.

Cable-skiing, followed by floorball physical training on Thursday was an experience. My upper body AND lower body are aching big time for now.
And I'm repeating it on Monday again. Cable-skiing, then floorball training at ValHall.
The OKCupid test was a screamer. There's another one, The Art of Seduction which gives you your seduction style. The tests are pretty accurate to a sense, and mildly amusing.
It is funny how this December seems so different from the previous one, considering I might not be in hall often enough. Shuttling between the east and west due to my various trainings makes it difficult to decide if I should stay home or in hall.
The exams are over and done with but I do not feel super happy about it. Maybe there is still plenty to do - including finding a part-time job/jobs that can fit my ad-hoc schedule and my need for flexible working hours, doing up the new place, getting out of debts, retaining my sanity at the same time...simply too much.
On a random note, I went over to IKEA Tampines to check that place out. Even on a weekday, that place is still pretty much a madhouse thanks to the school holidays. Screaming kiddos annoy the hell out of me. There's a queue everywhere - queue to order food, queue for coffee, queue to pay...don't those Singaporeans have to WORK?
I'm thinking once more, I ought to spend more time working to earn money than on all my trainings. I guess it happens when I want everything and I don't want to sacrifice anything huge, especially for my last official holidays.
I miss my boys.

3 days worth of exams are finally done with. I "smoked" my way through MNO (Management & Organization), slept halfway through Media Writing (but did pretty alright, I think), slept a grand total of 13 hours over 4 nights (the last proper minimal 6 hour sleep was Saturday night)
Speaking of the lack of sleep, I think my body has up-ed itself another level. Automatically waking up at 7.30am for the past 3 days despite 2 to 4 hours worth of sleep is becoming the norm.
Sleep or no sleep. Wakeboarding today was still good.
This is life.
The hair colour's back to ash brown. Seeing my burnt cheeks with my bleached hair (once more, damn), I kinda miss my dark brown hair all over again. The grass is always greener on the other side I suppose.
Now, where's that cash I need to live this life I lead?
