TaTas~
So... where do I even start...? -takes a deep breath-
Well, so Monday went quite as planned where I managed to get my stuff in the morning, went to Neko with Rinny and 2 of her friends, went for dinner with family to celebrate my maid's birthday before going to watch Guardians of the Galaxy with Rinny in Plaza Singapura for a midnight movie. The unfortunate thing was that we did not manage to meet Zephy due to some family emergency on her side.
So I went with just Rinny to watch the movie and it was quite funny. Groot is the cutest thing ever.
It has been a long time since I ever went to a midnight movie but I'm surprised that my parents did not start calling me in between like they usually do at like 11 or so. By the time we got back it was about 1am but yea it was really fun.
We bought these cuties at Neko together. The black one is Rinny's and the White one is mine. I took the white one because my cat is basically white and Rinny loves black so yea that works out.
On Tuesday, just as planned, Nicole came over to my place to bake. I forgot to take pictures especially since our hands were greasy and stuff from making cookies... so I shall be an idiot and take it from Nicole's blog (not that she knows anyway).
It actually turned out to be quite good even though we were looking for the recipe right on the spot and we did not time the baking either. We kind of just winged it and tried it when it came out of the oven.
We started to sing some shitty karaoke before eating dinner and singing somemore. It was quite fun catching up even though it feels like we really didn't do much.
Cherie didn't manage to come either which was a little sad because she had some work to do. :(
So today, even though I started off with having no plans, I made some in the end to fill up the time. I went out to eat lunch with RuiMing and 2 of her poly friends because she wanted to give this wallet to me since the wallet I'm using before was this really old one from when I was 13?
We got to talking quite a lot on the same topic and it is really funny because neither of us has much experience with boys and relationships so we are like completely clueless on stuff like that. The clueless asking the clueless to be honest LOL.
We ate at Nene's chicken for the first time and we were so confused how to order our stuff because the board just wrote the flavors.
We walked around for a bit before I headed to ChinaTown to meet Rinny. We went there to change money, but I brought her to Golden Dragon, where I usually buy my yarn materials, and she bought some stuff. I didn't see anything I wanted so I didn't get anything. I have so much yarn that I have not used that I just couldn't bring myself to buy more. It's exactly like books for me because I always buy so many books but I still have tons not read yet.
We ended up going to Mustafa to get a transformer for our electrical stuff in US (for her, I got mine earlier), and I randomly got the idea of: hey, why don't we get Hennas?
It's one of those 'I'm not totally serious about this; but if you wanna, it would be totally cool'. And she was like: Yea, I don't mind. So we went searching for Hennas and took a cab down to the Little India Arcade.
This is only my 2nd time in the Arcade, and also my 2nd time doing a Henna. The first time was when I was working in community centers and there was a sort of a fair there. So when I was done clocking hours, I went to get myself a free henna.
Being like total tourist in our own country, we finally got there and chose our designs and got it down for $10 each.
Rinny's
Mine Rinny's and mine in that order
We considered going to watch Ninja Turtles but we were both tired so we scrapped the plan because we went out today in hopes of meeting Zephy again but she cancelled on us again. So we headed back home where I just crashed and forgot about dinner somewhere along the way. I'm going to have to pack my last few things in soon but I think I need to repack some stuff because 1 luggage might be overweight (opps).
I'm meeting Sonia, Muzna and maybe Angela later for dinner at 8pm before I come back and go to the airport at 3am. It still feels like it hasn't sunk in that I am actually leaving so soon. It feels so surreal tbvh. I doubt I can be posting for the next few days (weeks) since I'd be traveling around. Unless I get to spend a night with wifi somewhere, then maybe I might post something. But other than that, that would be all for now. Till then... Tatas~

Meet Mew, My Cat
This is my cat and I named her Mew.
Originally, my mum was the one who wanted the cat and finally brought this little one home from my grandfather's place.
My grandfather owned a dog farm (and has birds and cats too, but mainly dogs), so he knows the personality of the animals and told us that this one was really gentle.
She doesn't scratch anyone at all, and is really the most cuddly thing ever.
Somehow or other, my mum probably showered too much love on her so she doesn't really like my mum.
She likes me though and she always purrs when she is in my room.
I used to say she was a vibrating cat (she kinda feels like she is when she purrs).
Even when she is asleep, she continues purring (or is that snoring?)
Anyway, some people say ''like master, like pet''.
So, one thing that Mew is very similar to me is that she sleeps A LOT.
She probably sleeps more than I do, and I can really go into hibernation and skip all 3 meals.
I see her sleeping more than I see her awake so I don't really feel guilty when I have to wake her up when I am getting comfortable on my bed.
I like it when she sleeps right next to me though, and when I can put my arm around her like a little bolster.
Either that, or she likes to put her head on my head and use it as her pillow.
Basically, she likes to curl up in places that seem to have my smell because she always sleeps on my spot of the bed and take my pillows but she is still the cutest thing ever.
And yes, I did name her after the pokemon Mew.
Honestly, I think I'm going to miss my cat the most when I go to US.
I went out on Tuesday again with Rinny, and we ended up watching Hercules... and marvelling over the guy's body. LOL. Well, it was one of our impromptu movie dates again so the choice of movie was just the spur of the moment. We are awaiting the guardians of the galaxy to come out, and planning to watch it on the 4th after going to this Cat cafe she wanted to go to with 2 of her friends.

Going out out out out out
I don't even keep track of what I am doing these days anymore. Many days I just go right into hibernation and sleep the entire day. Even my parents don't see me much even though I am in the house. At the same time though, I have been going out quite a lot as well.
As mentioned before, I went out with Nicole last Monday and we went to Plaza Singapura to eat Nandos. I took forever to finish my food even though I just ordered a chicken breast with no other sides. It was probably because I have not been eating the previous day and my stomach just couldn't handle it. But it was fine since Nicole eats pretty much at the same speed I was, so we just talked about stuff over lunch. It's really funny because we end up talking about so much stuff, talking about the past, or about our visas, and other stuff. The thing is we have many similar hobbies, so we ended up going to the bookstore buying books even though we both still have many books back at home that have not been read. We even went to Dome to continue talking about secondary school stuff, and then continued walking again. We just walked and talked and at times shopped but it was a really good meet up because there was so much to talk about. We planned another baking session on the 5th but I haven't really thought of what to make just yet.
I was supposed to meet Rinny again on Tuesday, but somehow we ended up cancelling and lazing in bed again. We then made plans to just stream harry potter movies together but we ended up cancelling that too.
I went to meet my grandaunty and granduncles(?) on Wednesday. (Basically, they were my grandmother's siblings). We had lunch at paradise inn in bedok point. Having lived in bedok throughout my childhood, I have to say it has changed so much. Now there is not only one, but two malls there. When I used to stay there, there wasn't even a single mall. It just feels so foreign all of a sudden. After lunch with my grandaunty and granduncles, I texted Auntie B to meet up since we were in the vicinity. She was our ex-neighbor when we were staying in bedok area. We sat down for some cake and coffee and just did some catching up. (I seem to always be talking about eating, huh.)
I went to meet up with Rinny once again on Thursday to make up for Tuesday that we didn't meet. We went to Jurong Point to eat at MOF (my first time there) before we headed down to IMM. I don't go to Jurong Point much so everything seemed so new to me there. We also bought a jacket each there for about $15. We went down to IMM for Daiso, and bought yarn and stuff so that I could teach Rinny how to crochet. Speaking of which, I should take a picture of my last completed long cardigan I made from scratch. So we ended up sitting in Ya Kun with me teaching her how to crochet while she getting a little frustrated. Kekeke. But it was all good because she managed herself somehow even after I had to leave. Auntie Joyce and Uncle Toh (honestly I get so confused how we are related but I think she is my mum's aunt... or was it cousin? LOL) They came over just to meet up before I leave, so we just chat until 11+.
I went out on Friday for some Korean BBQ because foooood. We went on to uniqlo where I managed to get really cheap jeans. I bought 1 pair of green jeans just for $9.90 and 2 more pairs, one black and the other navy, for $12.90 each. I think they were cheap because they were all really small sized. Oh well, all the better for me. My mum paid for all of them anyway since we were together. We went out with Rieko-san after that to develop her wedding pictures before I went to the Expo with my mum for a John Little sale. We managed to get really cheap bedsheets ($9.90 for queen sized bed sheets set) and many other nonsense going for cheap as well. We also went to some IT sale but ended up getting nothing but cables for charging our phones.
I went out again on Saturday to meet Joe at orchard central but I accidentally left my phone behind so we had some problems actually even meeting. I managed to find some wifi and contacted him so we could meet at D&D. Joe ordered this rainbow cake and couscous while I ordered a cheese and portabello burger.
It was really good but I felt so full after that.
(Photo credits to Joe. I took them from his Instagram)
He even took the trouble to get me a farewell gift as well as a souvenir from Australia where he went for 5 days between his break after POP.
It was a bittersweet meeting since it will probably be the last time we meet for a long time.

We were only 13 years old here, in the bus. God, it feels so funny looking at old pictures. And 14 years old here, celebrating Joe's birthday at his place.     And finally one picture of us at present.
Well, after we separated, I decided to go shopping on my own. I went to uniqlo again and for the first time, I bought myself male shirts. I got some for females but the material used for guys felt so much nicer I swear. It was thicker and softer and the colors were nicer too. All for the same price of $12.90. The funny thing is that a male's sized S equates to about a female's L. I honestly tried the L and XL for females because I was looking for something slightly baggier, but it didn't look nice so I settled for an M instead. But when I got the male's one, the S was the same size of the female's L, yet because of the cutting, it fit better even when it was baggy.
The irony is that females are the ones getting mocked more for being large in size. Next time just tell anyone who dares to insult you that you're wearing a S in male size tbvh.

Male's S vs. Female's M
I also bought a long vest thingy from H&M but no pics :<. I couldn't resist buying this huge-ass eraser as well for $2.90 that says 'Ctrl+Z'. Kekeke.
It seems like I did a lot in the same day but I went home and went out again after a failed attempt to take a nap. We went to my grandfather's place to pick him up before going to MBS to watch the fireworks of the national day parade rehearsals.
        
They were all taken from my phone so the quality isn't the best; but I take what I get :3
That wasn't the real reason we were there though. We were really there for the Fruit Festival there because Mike KorKor gave us free tickets so we had free Durian and fruits. Honestly, I don't eat much durian so I was practically there just to waste away a ticket. I did eat some though.
   We even went up to the Skypark for free and walked down discussing how someone actually managed to jump down even though there were glass and barriers everywhere. I wouldn't want to jump if I wanted to kill myself though. I mean it's so scary. Maybe carbon monoxide or something would be the best. Just a thought. Do you guys think of things like this too or am I the only one? LOL. I mean I don't really want to kill myself or anything but really, I wouldn't want to jump down anything even if I wanted to. My thoughts scares me sometimes too. 
Oh gosh, I'm not even done with Sunday (which, yes, I went out again). Funny, I never expected that I would go out so often like this. But I guess since I'm already leaving next week, everything just comes piling up on me.
