210213; HAPPY 18th LIN!.

WHEEEEEEEY~!.

So the 21st of February arrived yet again, and those smart Linions will know that it was my birthday!.

Lol kidding.

But, seriously, it was my birthday.

THIS TIME, I TURN EIGHTEEN!.

For a pretty decent girl, turning eighteen aint much of a big fuss.

The only thing that I am keen about is the fact that I am old enough to learn to drive.

Not that I want to own a car (at least not in Singapore, I dont think).

How old must you be to learn how to drive a plane?.

Not that I want to own a plane. :P

First mini celebration surprise thingy was by Ezt.

She practically forced me to follow her to her workplace for some stuff.

And then asked me to a pick a cake. LULZ.

It was kinda a surprise cuz I was feeling a little lazy that day, and then BAM!.

Cake. And presents.

Strawberry Shortcake and Patbingsu.

@ Paris Baguette.

SO YUMZ. Red Bean overload.

My card :'DDDDDDDDDD

"Ideas for what....?"

BAHAHAHAH.

And Chillbots!.

So cute, havent really made anything in it yet, except for a trial Kueh Lapis.

Hmm, thinking of jelly/chocolate to be shaped like robots.

Suggestions?.

We then walked around Ion.

Went to the gallery thingy and looked at the artsy stuff.

These ones were cool, there were like nerves, veins and all that stuff.

This one was red blood cells!.

So cute.

Thank you Ezt, for one of the few times I get things from you for free MUWAHAHA :P

Nahhs, but seriously tho, thank you, bring Patbingsu(s) home some day.

Just kidding. :P

The cousins came over for another celebration, which was kinda a February babies celebration thingy.

Made egg filled Epok Epok for The Dzuls because Dzulkurry was craving for it!.

So much so that he kept eating them, and then went "Wah. Tak habis. Dah kenyang lah."

("Wah. I cannot finish it. I'm too full.")

:'D

And when he came over again the next week, he asked Grandmumma to make some more the next time he comes.

Ahahahahah adorbs.

Afi as Cyclops.

:B

Dad bought a new fan for my room, and Afi was helping out.

He was so into it, it was really funny and cute :'D

And violent. LOL.

Hazelnut Crunch from The Royals.

I think I had this cake last year too, but it is really good.

I love the crust at the bottom, it's like a little surprise.

You should all try it.

And, obviously, it's from the The Royals because I'm pretty much royalty. :P

Uncle Joe's a February birthday too.

Then on the 21st, went out with Mum to get the one last cake I've been thinking about, and got a free Swensens ice cream while we're at it.

(Ref to first picture)

The family beside us kept looking at our table and it was awkward.

And then they wished me happy birthday.

I think they actually remember what the free birthday ice cream looks like that they concluded it was my birthday.

Also probably because I saw another table getting the ice cream and I exclaimed "HEY IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TOO, HIGH FIVE!!."

Lulz.

My first ice cream cake!. ^^

It was kinda melting so we just dug straight in. :P

After a year, I clearly had forgotten how delightful it was to receive wishes from everyone.

Certainly made me smile before I slept.

This one's from Atiqa.

I totally LOL-ed when I saw this.

Ahhhh, such good old times, really.

Look at us. :'D

And this one's from Amirah.

Seriously, dont my faces just look...HAHAHA.

I miss my braces.

But I miss these girls more, thanks for digging up these pictures. :P :D

Aaaaaaaand lastly, I got a Whatsapp group named after my birthday.

And it has still remained till today hahaha!.

Thank you all so much for all the well wishes and everything.

Quite a bit has changed from last year, the year before last, and so on.

I really cannot thank all of you enough.

Thank you from the bottom of my beating little human heart, you guys mean so much to me.

I hope all of you had/will have great birthdays as well!. :)

Du vet jeg elsker deg.

Goodbye

JANUARY IN A BLOGPOST!.

Greetings Linions!.

 

 

I'll start of with the 10th, where I went back to school to receive my GCSE O level results.

Ah, was prolly one of the more nervewrecking times, where I thought that the phase where I was taking the exams felt a little better than getting the results. :D

The brother Iman and his good friend Haikel came with me!.

Hahaha, honestly couldn't ask for better people to have been there with me.

The first thing I did when I sat and saw the paper was to scan through for any Ds or 7s.

My hands were shaking so bad that Iman had to tear open the paper I'm holding below.

:'D

Thanks guyses, parents, teachers, friends who helped me throughout, and who wished me luck/congratualated me. ^^ :)

I will let you know of my posting at the end of the post.

(If you are interested enough ahah.)

 

On the 19th, went over to Esplanade to catch Cikgu Wan's (my dance instructor in MF) performance called Oh! Bangau with Amirah & Adillah. :)

5 cents in my fries~!.

We were lost for a moment, and found our way there just in time!.

*Walking to our seats*

Amirah: Ok, so who sits in the middle?.

Lin: MEEEEE~!.

Amirah: Who?.

Lin: MEEEEEEEEEEEE~!.

Amirah: Who said me?.

Lin: LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN~~~!.

Ahahahah.

The performance was super legit, with all the different dance groups together so as you can already tell, the cast was pretty darn huge.

We had four tickets, and a row of four seats just for us, but Zee couldn't make it so yeah :(

Cikgu Wan's the one on the far left!. Like the first person on the left ahahah!.

Ended pretty late, so we had to make our way back almost immediately after that. :(

Prolly was the last time I saw Adillah, school already started for her so she's been busy. Daaang.

Reached home pretty late, Dad picked me up from the bus stop and had this for supper.

Toasted sliced almonds are my favorite, I eat them like popcorn, so are those mini tangerines.

 

Lunched with Amirah & Fatin.

Dory Baked Rice & Banana Dessert Pizza @ Pastamania.

Went to buy Ezt a new phone, also had Bathura & Paper Thosai (plus some other little stuff I'm not sure what) for lunch, and then went shopping for a little bit.

Saw this at Toa Payoh, I think I'm probably the only person who stopped to snap pictures of it.

BUT ISNT IT SO CUTE, someone (a kid, I assume) made one that looks like Ultraman!.

These would be/look good if they were cookies too!>

Lunched @ Delifrance there as well.

That's Chikkin by the way!.

 

Rockband-ed with Ezt for a couple hours, had a nice time hitting things and clicking things and singing/screaming things. Was real funny every time we failed at a song.

Also, Ezt did an extremely dumb thing which I think I will never ever ever forget.

HAHAHAHAHA :'D

Yaaaaay went shopping with Amrh & Ftn and it was pretty productive and fun!.

Lololol, I ended up spending quite a bit, but it was because of the pretty good deals they had!.

To end it off, when we chilled at Starbucks after walking around, the babe at the cashier was real funny, she pretty much made my day!. Ahahah.

Also hung around with Amrh to talk after Ftn left.

A little sad that Ftn had to leave rather early :/

 

Okay I think that's about it for January.

So, as I've said, here's my school posting results that I received in the morning where my Mum entered my room and woke me up asking "WHERES YOUR PHONE?!" Bahahahah!.

Yup, technically it's my 2nd choice, and I realised that throughout my schooling phase, in everything I choose/list out, the 2nd choice is pretty much always the charm.

Ahah, I was pretty damn certain that I was going to get Pharmaceuticals, but surprise surprise!.

If you know me well enough, you should know that I have been wanting to teach since I was probably a little kid.

I remember being in my kindergarten class and just LOVING the times where I get called out to write something on the board.

I remember sneaking in to the class when everyone was outside and quickly scribbling stuff on the white board and wiping it off because the feeling was awesome. :'D

Yeah yeah, I'm not the smartest kid in school where people would come to me for help every single time.

But for the littlest times that they do ask me for help, and I succeed in making them understand things and explaining it to them, it feels pretty good lol.

I also like knowing facts. :P

(I trust gut feelings too though.)

Plus, I love kids, they so cute!.

Ahahahah and as you have already realised, I found it rather LOL that the number they used to text us is the same number they used to tell me I had a library book to return.

BAHAHAHAHAH.

Oh, I am also awfully thankful and happy that Amrh got to the course she's really interested in in the end.

Because doing what you love is most important. ^^ :)

 

Okeh that's about it.

I hope you guys got the results yall wanted as well!.

I'll talk you yall later.

 

Du vet jeg elsker deg.

Goodbye

030113; Food's a great healer.

Wae-yo!.

Snapped a picture in this ball of reflections thingy I saw at town.
Pretty kewl, innit?. Aint a huge Rihanna fan, but I thought it suited with the picture :'D
Also, about the hiatus, I am terribly sorry for it. I have no idea why, seems like when you have alot of free time in your hands, the more you will just not do something. When school was still on, I used to want to blog so much, and actually tried to keep up with the one-post-a-week thing, and probably kept up with it although I did miss a few weeks. But now that I'm on holiday, I guess I just took it easy. Sorry, about that. :(


Alright so around the first week of January, Mum brought the sister and I to lunch at the Grand Hyatt Hotel Singapore with her friends.

The group pictures!.
Mum prolly has a bigger circle of friends than I do hahaha :'D

There was this kewl room where there was only a chair and a telephone.

I picked it up and the person on the other end went "Hello, can I help you?" after a while and I quickly hung up :B

I guess our color code for that day was blue?.

Mum's friend helped to snap a picture.

O' my flashed out Lin.

Walked around to check out what they had!.

Turns out they served the flavours of Singapore, Indian/Malay/Chinese food.

Saw the desserts first!.

They had Mango, Durian, Soursop, flavors.

(And two others I dont recall.)

Kueh Lapis, Corn Custard, etc.

Indian section!.

Prata, Naan, Murtabak~

Satay!.

SAAAUCE!.

Drinks.

The jugs (vases?) were so huge I was almost afraid I might drop it lol.

 Naan Bread, Saffron Rice and the chickpea curry and beef.

I think?.

The Saffron Rice was really awesome, wish I took more.

 

 Hor Fun, the fried fish, Tofu, Satay.

Everytime I came to the satay station, other people grab my satays!. :(

So I grabbed what was left and ran away.

The Hor Fun was really really really good, that it left me craving for Hor Fun up to this day. :(

Anyone?.

Mum has been making remakes of the fried fish, so I dont miss it all that much.

Satay, though..who can ever get enough satay?. :7

Chikkin Rice was good too!.

The ratio of chilli to rice is just off, but this was yums as well!.

Chikkin rice is always good!.

The one in the bowl on the top was something so weird that I didn't actually eat it.

The one in the bowl on the right, I overestimated myself and took a little too much syrup, so it was too sweet.

I brought the Corn Custard home, tastes just like the one Mum makes!.

It was the first time I tasted Muah Chee and BOY WAS IT GOOD!.

It was like everything I loved about food, the taste, the texture!.

It's smooth chewy middle and the sweeet, slightly crunchy peanut coating~

UMPH, best thing EVEEEEEEER~!.

Toilet break, with the neccessary selfie shot.

Ezt and I found the Ice Kacang station!.

Muah Chee topped.

Huge Atap Seeds!.

Mango, Durian, Soursop!.

Waferised!.

Wore matching beanies with the sister!. :3

Headed to The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf after that as if we weren't full enough :B

 

Mmhmm, I think that's about it.

If yall have any good recipes for any of the food that I was terribly excited about, do email me the recipe!.

I'll draft my next post now just in case..
