*Ja-Jang!* 5 more days to liberation, woo! ♥I feel a little overwhelmed actually. Previously, I kept lamenting how quickly A levels are going to hit me, and before I knew it, it's already going to be over. I kept thinking how I've yet to truly put in any effort and it's just going to finish in a blink of an eye. How I've wasted time, sigh. Hopefully, my grades would be ideal, and not suck too badly. I really want to get into a course I want in a local uni!
Actually, I must confess, I entered party mood the moment my economics paper was over. I went out to have a nice meal with my family during that weekend at 店小二 (Tampines 1 Branch) even though I was supposed to be studying, and ordered loads of food! I felt so greedy and fat ordering, cause I wanted everything on the list =w=" I do hope I can control my ravenous appetite in the near future, cause I am really (no, really!) determined to lose some weight.
The first dish that came was some pork ribs ordered by my dad. Tasted like an overdosage of paper, blech!
Next was my all-time favourite - Ee fu mee!
Look how godly this photo look. I am getting increasingly hungry as I blog.
I requested for this dish and it was mad orga; Butter baked prawns. I can't even describe how heavenly it tastes. Even though the sauce is all butter (aka oil), I consumed copious amounts of it. I do not regret every single bite I took!
Another shot. Mad nice. I feel like I'm constantly in heaven eating this prawn *_*
The organic wheat grass tofu turned out unexpectedly good!
It's damn green (slightly freaky), but it's super soft and tender! I don't mind eating such tofu everyday ^_^
For dessert, we ordered some red bean paste pastry (i can't remember it's exact name). The skin was crispy, there was a lot of filling, and it was super sweet! Very complimentary. A nice warm dish to end off the day!
Actually, no. I still got some 桂花糕. I expected it to be a warm dessert as well, but it turned out to be a jelly instead. Not to sweet, just nice. If you're not a fan of light herbal taste/fragrance, you better avoid this :x

I was planning to go Japan with my sister this December (hell yeah, finally leaving Singapore for the first time in my life) and we were booking tickets when I realised... my passport has expired for more than a year and eight months. It was really a bummer and I had to go re-make my passport, which includes the chore of needing to take a new photo of myself since my previous passport was a photo of myself when I was five years old.
Since I don't want to look too different from my passport photo, I didn't put much make-up (*wails* no eyeliner!). I just put on some powder and concealer because I was breaking out so badly during the examination period. The shocking outcome was -
HAHA, DEAD-PAN TEMPLATE FACE WITH NO FRINGE!
I always wanted to try out demi lashes, and after trying out, I decided I look mad weird in them. I guess they aren't suited for me. If you're wondering where I got my demi lashes from (since they look so goddamn negligible and you might want to avoid it in the future), I just chopped a full lash into half and stuck them on.
And sadly, since ICA have accepted this photo, I guess I'll be looking like this on my passport for the next 5 - 10 years (I have no idea how long a renewal in passport last for). Picking my passport up on 1 December and booking a trip to Japan immediately on that day. I can hardly wait! \o/

Before I end off my post, the bag I bought from taobao finally arrived!
I got it in muted blue since it's a 'safer' colour and more versatile with a variety of outfits. I wanted to buy this bag initially from TCL at $27 (excluding postage), but decided it was too costly and didn't leave a comment for it. Turns out to be a good decision, cause I got it off taobao at about $14 (excluding shipping)?
Shipping was $9 (I suspect the agent scammed my money for shipping, but it will be the last time I order from them). Total was around $23, but it's still much cheaper than TCL and I can choose from an assortment of colours with no rush. Look at the cute heart shape locket! It comes with a strap so I can change it into a sling bag for casual outings, or a handbag when I'm going to work. I think it is a good buy for my wardrobe :D
Material is slightly rougher than expected (I thought it would be velvety), but there was no rust around the buckles or lose threads, so I would say that the quality is fair. But it's really quite an exquisite piece, so I love it to bits~ Can't wait to take it out!

On a random note, as I was blogging, my itunes playlist happened to play 'Poker Face' by Lady Gaga and I realised how much I missed her upbeat catchy dance tracks. Now, all I get are songs like 'Marry the Night' and 'You and I', which doesn't get me off my seat to dance and prance around my house. Damn!
