My Sister

Haven't blogged in a long long while but here's a short one.

It's Hari Raya Haji today and guess what? I'm not working yay! Promised to help my sister pack her room today so I took a day off work despite the 1.5x pay. But nothing is more worth quality time spent with family so I'm happy! 

Her room is really a disastrous place to be in and honestly I don't know how she managed to survive living in there for the past few years hahaha. Basically she has SO MANY THINGS she didn't know where to even begin packing. 

Oh yes, she's packing her room because she'll be moving to her fiance's house after their wedding in November so yep. I will be moving over to her room after her BTO is ready for collection and I am damn excited! 

I'm sure everyone dreams of having their own room? Maybe not those who already have it since young but for me, someone who once shared a room with two people, then one person and now finally getting my own space, it sure is exciting as hell!! Being able to fully control where you want to place your stuff and how you want it decorated is beyond happiness. 

But despite all these, on top of all these positive things, there are the negatives too. The negatives that I feel so much stronger now. 

Seeing my sister's room turn from a crime scene to a clean, neat, tidy and almost empty room gradually made me really sad though it was pleasing to my eye. 

One day she's not gonna be in the house anymore and that really upsets me. I've always enjoyed her presence and nothing makes me happier than always crashing her room at night to talk about nonsense and watching shows we love. 

I will miss her crazy laughter, her stupid jokes, her witty comments and her listening to my whinings that I cannot tell other people about. I will miss spazzing with her over our favourite show - 阿还. I will miss having someone that I can force to listen to the songs I love or videos I find absolutely funny that no one else will be bothered to entertain. 

I will miss reminiscing childhood memories with her and digging up old jokes to laugh about. I will miss seeing her work for her art and craft projects. I will miss her asking me solutions for the stupidest problems in the world. And I will miss all your stupid dance moves and crazy childishness. 

There are endless things to the list I will miss about you in this house - the one and only house in our lives. 

Thank you for being my sister and bringing much joy and love to my life! I won't be preparing a speech for your wedding but maybe this will be it. A little sudden and abrupt coz I wrote it out in a hurry. 

I hope we will always be this close despite you staying so far away next time.

P/S tho I am always complaining about helping you do stuff I still always willingly do them anyway. I know you love me for that! :-) 

Adult life

Feeling sad recently because uni has officially started for me. Actually, it has already started for a month or so now and I haven't really had the time to talk about it because school work has been rather overwhelming. It is also not easy juggling my time between school and part-time job and of course having a life at the same time. But that's also the main reason why I am feeling sad - having no fucking life coz really, nobody has time for me anymore. Oh my god I feel so pathetic typing this?

Entering uni makes me feel like I've officially jumped on the adult life bandwagon where people are really not the same anymore. People who've been around you for quite some time now, people you just met or even people you're soon going to meet. It's really tough job getting to know new people, having to repeat your entire life story again to someone entirely new to your life when you don't even know if this particular someone is going to stay in your life.

And yes, the thing about being adults is, we all change and we all grow. We grow up to be the sickening adults we thought we would never become. As cruel as reality sounds, it is true and real to a point. People around me have changed, their priorities and their friendships. People meet new people and people move on, you know? People's lives no longer revolve around you. People whom you used to see every day, you don't even get to see them now, not even once a week, heck, maybe not even once a month. Coz everyone's so fucking caught up with work and shit and basically just...life.

And this is what makes me sad. Because that was once a point in our lives when we thought we were gonna be happy with who is around us forever. But reality has to kick in and slap your face with the fact that no your friends aren't gonna be around forever and it is safer to tell yourself you should learn to be independent. Well, that's how I am and have been as a person my entire life - alone. And as sad as it sounds, I probably like that I am alone. But there will be times, times like these when I tell myself it'd be good to have a friend around too, somewhere.

As adults now we just gotta suck it up coz no one's gonna come wipe your tears for you or pat you to sleep at night when you can't. You are an adult now and you ought to have the ability to fend for yourself ya? You should deal with your own fucking problems coz everyone else has theirs.

This entry is totally going in a self-destroying route and this is bad. I am supposed to be doing my essay what am I doing here okay bye. Evidently, adults don't conclude their entries coz adults..have life to deal with.

The rest of my Korea Trip 2015

I'm back again for my Korea trip updates! Omg this is getting so overdue my memory is failing me already! I still have my Taiwan and KL trip I wanna talk about HAHA.

Third day of the trip and we're back to Seoul from the rural and mountainous areas! First stop of the day -> Everland!! I didn't have much expectations for it because I didn't read up on it before the trip and I was unaware of the rides available as well. In my imagination it'd just be like any other theme parks right!! But it really amazed me! (Except that it was a Saturday and there were loads and loads of people!)

third day's hotel breakfast was a lot better!!

traveling by cable car coz the theme park is huge!

omg so cute so cute so cute!!!

mommy and I among the pretty flowers!

trying on the cutesy hair accessories LOL

I love giraffes!!!

the whole place was just super nice!!!! plus the weather :-)

We only had a limited period of time inside so we didn't manage to take all the rides! Rushed for the animal safari coz the tour guide said we should definitely try it! While waiting in the queue we also went to get queue tickets for T-Express!!! So happy we got to try T-Express omg and we didn't queue for 1.5 hours coz that was the estimated waiting time...

hello t-express! I wanna ride you again!! IT WAS SUPER FUN!!!!

super duper humongous bear omg 

lol he was begging for food super funny wtf

act chio shot with the head band meant for my sis lol
by then my skin was already peeling like mad thanks to the weather sobs

Line store! everything was cutesy inside!!

so glad we met this cute family in the tour! :-)

We left in the late afternoon coz we had to rush to other places :-( If I have the chance to pop by again I definitely would! Bye Everland you've been superb!!

super dope korean bbq for lunch (thanks tour guide for arranging this!)

Arrived at this super pretty place to board a cruise ship! It was a huge park where people were having picnics and cycling! I wish Singapore had a place like that too!

and it's goodbye for real!!!

It has been a really good trip considering my low tolerance for tour groups! But I really enjoyed myself thoroughly this time round. So recommend everyone to visit South Korea in April when the weather is perfect and there are loads of pretty cherry blossom trees to see! :-)

Hey South Korea, I hope to visit you again, preferably in winter! Woohoo!!
