You are my sunshine

I'm back with more pictures! And on christmas day cos I clearly have nth better to do LOL wowzies

It's been a rather happening few months since my last proper update - starting my job, going on training, random meetups here and there... okay not very happening actually. 

Time has seriously been flying since I started work, which is so scary :( it's already been 4 months! 

I honestly wish I had more time actually. If I could I would totally trade some income for more free time. The weekends just ain't enough :( being a corporate slave is tough... but we all (well most of us) have to go through it don't we :/

Also..... I met someone HEHE. As in, official already. I'm only just getting used to saying "my boyfriend." Idk why but it just feels very... cheesy/mushy to say it LOL am I the only weird one?

It's been 10 years and this is my first time talking about a boy on my blog. And I'm 23, walao

But anyway, 

A compilation of FAQs: 

1. What is his name? 
Sherwin

2. How did yall meet? 
coffee meets bagel :/ soo lame right

3. What is he doing?
Studying and working 

4. How old is he?
A year older!

5. Send pics leh!!
Pls see below later

6. Omg whennnn
Slightly more than a month ago hehe


And without further ado... pictures!

Edit: Didn't think I'd have that many but wow 

Brought food on my last day of internship! Ate with 2 female colleagues I never really had a chance to talk to.
Felt kind of :( having the lunch, prolly cos it was my last day and I only just properly had a conversation with them, and they were really nice people

Goodbye, 5/10 of Gilgamesh! By then the other interns had finished their internships and left already, so I was getting real lonely. But I will miss the amazing office views, the familiarity of their presences and the peaceful, carefree vibes of this strange transitionary period in my life.

I think seeing how foreigners (mostly malaysian chinese) come all the way here to work dead-end jobs at a place like G just for higher salaries also makes me really appreciate my lot a heck lot more :/

Was clearing out my cupboard and found some of my old uni planners :') so feels! Life was really so much more exciting then - different classes every day, so much more free time, friendly campus vibes. But ofc there were trade-offs, like the lack of income, and having to study.. omg I really don't miss studying one bit.

Attempted to make guacamole but it was less successful compared to the previous time :/ avos weren't fully ripe so the texture was kinda chunky. But still tasty!

Changed ma glassesss. My pre-work gift to myself

And then I went out to meet jiams & iz at stamping ground cafe!
Really nice place with chill vibes, would go back.
And it was also a super pretty and nostalgic bus ride, travelling past places I grew up in :)

Got pics to capture the bus ride vibes but no pics of the coffee or cafe LOL
Mala with jiams one random night

Dinner before Intervals concert in September!!

The whole crowd sang the riff to Belvedere together omg the smiles on the band's faces haha

Honestly had no idea what Intervals looked like before I came to their concert LOL
Bunch of decent-looking chaps I must say!

Cousin on my mum's side got married!

Then he left and 3 of us bimbos talked so much on the train, we missed our stop by 4 stops and ended up at Serangoon LOL

Cute new-ish cafe near Kem
Wasn't too pricey either!

This was a real rollercoaster day.
Had to help plan the annual christmas party as a newbie rite-of-passage thing, and the big day finally arrived.
Was having the worst headache ever by the time the place cleared out around 3pm.
But well, at least it's over!
