1 April, Monday
Finally a proper date with the boy since my return from Maldives. A few minutes before meeting each other, I lied to him saying that I would be late, as an April Fools joke hahahahahahaha I'm so childish

Lunch at EWF @ Orchard Central, then watched G.I Joe @ Plaza Singapura, pool @ Cathay. I won!!!!!!! Okay because he fouled a couple of times. Astons. Ended off the day with my treat at Canele Patisserie Chocolaterie.

Iced mocha - rose, cookies & cream, vanilla macarons
Hazelnut Praline (bloody good) - Rose and lavender tea

Had to respect that he doesn't like to take pictures. Too bad, he looked cute that day

2 April, Tuesday
Left in the morning to Narita airport, Tokyo. MY FAVOURITE CITY IN ASIA!!!





18 hours flight: Les Miserables, Bacholorette, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Pitch Perfect

Reached Los Angeles, checked in, and went straight to Disneyland Park for... 2 rides. Sucks to be in America during the Easter holiday. Waited for 90 minutes for the second ride.



10 minutes walk to Disneyland




Best crowd eva









10pm queue







3 April, Wednesday
Conquered the rest of the rides at Disneyland Park for the first half of the day and headed on to Disney California Adventure Park for the second half of the day. The rides are more thrilling there!





Biggest horses I've ever seen









My favourite theme: Alice in Wonderland





Overflowing gravy, the cause of obesity in America



















DISNEY CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE PARK HERE WE COME!!!!!









The geeks doing the Spock sign aren't my friends


The World of Colour was amazing. Even more than the disney parade. Being there never fails to make me reminisce on my youthful days


I won!!! ^^

Not sure if guy in front was KevJumba







4 April, Thursday
Went to the factory outlet store. What happens when a girl wasn't allowed to shop freely for 6 months, she spent $200 at the first store.

Finished off the rest of the rides at Disney California Adventure Park. It's really tiring to go to the theme parks 3 days in a row, with such long waiting time and the crowd, oh don't get me started on the crowd.










2nd time queuing for California Screamin'





I wanted this :(


5 April, Friday
UNIVERSAL STUDIOS HOLLYWOOD BABY YEAH!!!


qt









Screamed like shit and it was our first













An episode of Revenge in progress










6 April, Saturday
3 hours road trip to Las Vegas!


Walked around but didn't get anything because we were going to the factory outlet the following day. (turns out that the outlet wasn't up to expectations)













Man-made rain








Buffet at The Mirage for dinner! Really good food and great spread! I was about to get my salad when this friendly stranger started talking to me. PEOPLE THERE ARE SO NICE!!! They make you feel so welcome and it gives me the warm and fuzzy feeling!!! ^-^

Me: Caesar salad without bacon please
Her: I'm getting that too! Without bacon as well!

Staff: Croutons?
Me: Yes please, a little more
Her: Yes!!! I'm getting more croutons too! Great minds think alike!

She was so sweet!!!



Loots from Urban Outfitters!

















Our last stop was Caesars Palace. The only place with an Abercrombie and Fitch outlet. So we were waiting for Darth Vader when these 2 Pakistani guys who studied in America, decided to talk to me. They were nice and at least I was entertained and one can never get enough of someone with an American accent. It beats listening to someone with improper usage of English (cue fake coughing)




FRIENDS shot here before!!!





7 April, Sunday
So we headed to the outlet store. It was so depressing :( the shops were so limited.




So we headed back to Caesar's Palace where I spent most of the money I had left. BECAUSE NO ONE TOLD ME THERE WAS GOING TO BE MORE SHOPPING AT SAN FRANCISCO!!!





Dinner at The Cheesecake Factory! (note: pictures don't do justice at all)




Cakes on the bottom rack could feed like 6 people per slice

Chocolate one was so good

Ayuz's tomato & chicken

Salmon spring rolls, damn good

Parent's seafood pasta, this was the best

My red meat pasta was not bad either!



We all settled for the Godiva Chocolate Cheesecake


 So upset when I saw these (not fair!) whines:





8 April, Monday
Grand Canyon oh yeah!!! Eh I acted all smart thinking that it was some sort of a desert so I wore a sleeveless top.

Damn was I wrong. It was 5 degrees Celsius and there was a hail storm. IT WAS SO FUN! I was running and shouting, "THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST EXPERIENCES I'VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS!!!!" The hail was rather pain though, like thousands of sharpened pencils poking your skin.





After taking some tourist shots, we headed to the ranch for lunch.


Dad was so cute, being so focused on the magic trick
+ Victoria Secret shopping bag



MY MEH THAT KEPT FOLLOWING ME!!! SO CUTE!!!




I was exhausted when we got back so I stayed in the hotel while my cousin and parents went to The Cheesecake Factory for dinner again.

9 April, Tuesday
Off all things, my parents bought Red Velvet Cake from The Cheesecake Factory. Need I say more.

TO THE AIRPORT! FaceTimed with Danial and Limin while waiting.



Alienated Limin, figuratively





Checked in to Marriot, had lunch at one of the street side stalls at Fisherman's Wharf.




Fried calamari

Juicy crabs



Then to Cold Stone Creamery for some ice-cream! Walked walked walked. I went to the gym. Had to compromise with Darth Vader because it was 9:30pm (ikr, a hobo was totally going to rape me that early in the night). So he sat in the gym for an hour while I did my own things












Ugh zq said something that kept me thinking. For a few days. I slept at 3am and there were a few tears sigh I'm so weak.

10 April, Wednesday
Shopping in town.





Lunch, walked more








Sushi for dinner



Dad asked why I kept smiling to my phone. So sweet leh. After my breakdown last night and my worried mind, it was nice to read something like this ~^-^~






11 April, Thursday
Had the best breakfast ever.


THIS WAS MIINE, ALL MINE
AND I LOVED EVERY ATOM OF IT



Alcatraz










Stupid strikingly attractive guy totally got in the way
of the scenic view that I was trying to capture


Walked around and had a cupcake break



Peanut butter | Red Velvet | Hazelnut


Dinner at Denny's and we walked along the famous crooked street that I wasn't aware off.



I was the only one who made it all the way up

iJelly


Then Darth Vader followed me to Cold Stone Creamery to get my brownies with ice-cream!



12 April, Friday
So Gladys told me to try iHop. And I did. But I took wholegrain pancakes -______- so it wasn't as nice as what I imagined my fluffy pancakes to be fluff fluff









Took the cable car to town, Can't believe they call it a cable car.











13 April, Saturday
1am: Goodbye to my third favourite city.

Liminster's



The amount of junk in my bag


14 April, Sunday
Religious class, Becks birthday party with Fel



15 April, Monday
Spent my day fasting, unpacking and FaceTiming with CT and KY who were in Malaysia. Productive day 1.

16 April, Tuesday
Threading (I got tricked into spending $120).

Went to school then to SIM. Saw zq who was heading to work. Jogged. Purchased tickets for Phantom of the Opera. Productive day 2.

17 April, Wednesday
Got Limin and I tickets to The xx, sent transcript to remaining universities, went down to Maxwell Road to do the same, jogged. Productive day 3.

Today
Spent around $400 within 3 days. Tried to bake but failed and mom laughed and her frankness must effing maintain. She said, "If I did it, it would be a success." Then this pussy threw the batter that she spent one and a half hours on, and cried in her room. I hate failure. What's worse, a mom that made me feel a whole lot better.

Went for a job interview. Not so productive day. Not at all.

Next up on my dream holiday: New York, Spain, Italy, Venice, Rome

26 March, Tuesday
Slab with Trix


27 March, Wednesday
Met up with Kitty and Shu at Plaza Singapura and had lunch at Hoshino Coffee!

Squid Ink

Lobster Bisque

Pescatora Seafood


Me: Let's have Koi later! I saw one upstairs!
S+K: Huh really?! Since when!
Me: Really! I saw it when I was on the way here!


So it was still under construction. Good job Sherina, good job.

Then I tried thin matcha green tea from Nana's Green Tea which was a terrible idea because apparently 'thin' meant no sugar or something sigh poor cat.

Fried Mars Bars for each of us!

Walked around Cineleisure and ION Orchard ^^

Then we walked back to Orchard Central for dinner. I suggested that we dine at Nana's Green Tea since it was just downstairs.

S+K: Eh why is it not on the directory ah?
(we went down and the name of the shop was Maccha House)

HAHAHAHA WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME

Went to the last floor to take polaroid pictures. I had lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of fun with them 

My food got delayed T^T







Impromptu decision to spend the night at the airport with zq, Gen and Trix! Managed to Facetime with favourite too





28 March, Thursday
Had the Four Seasons Appreciation Tea consisting of students from Temasek Polytechnic and Republic Polytechnic sharing their experiences during their overseas internship.


I was craving for some alone time so I passed by Maison Kayser and decided to have tea there.


Mad Jack for dinner at Parkway with my favourite mom.


29 March, Friday
Zq couldn't make it for his morning shift so I took it. Which meant that I had to work for 12 hours straight on a public holiday. I think he could have taken the closing shift but whatever, he didn't offer to do so, big deal.

I've learnt to stop expecting things from him. It's fucking tiring. So I stopped caring about the amount of contentment that I've been trying to congregate from him. Just tolerate my temperamental and snobbish ways, and I'm happy enough.

Facetime with minzter again!!!!!!!!!!

Black Batlamb

LIMIN THE LAMB! SO CUTE

Fat cat ^^~

She kept saying that Limin the lamb will turn out to be ugly when she grows up. So mean



30 March, Saturday
Sweetest mom made yong tau foo from scratch just for me awh cheezeballz


American Club. I had the worst migraine of my life. I woke up in the middle of the night overwhelmed with pain and I really wanted to cry. I know I'm such a wuss but it felt as though my blood vessels were about to burst.

So during work, it got worse. I was so afraid that I would blank out. But I didn't. And I can't believe I managed to muster enough strength to meet Fel afterwards.

Dinner @ Ajisen + smoothies @ Smoothie King.

Edmund (ex-boss): What are you having? Smooooothies?
Me: -______-


He is as lame as ever. But his cold jokes still manage to tickle me.


Today
American Club. I just realised that there are a lot of cute guys at the club hehehe ^^v can I not quit. Anyway it wasn't that busy and as mentioned, I wasn't looking forward to the weekend crowd. But I guess due to Easter and all, the outcome wasn't that great.

Went to the gym with Danial despite me being unfit. He made wholemeal pasta with seafood sauce after. Good times, good times

Monday, March 25, 2013

18 March, Monday
American Club.

I cried. Not sure what it was about, but the planner states that I did, so I did. Guess it had something to do with the boy, but I doubt it was anything serious because it was just my pre-menstrual symptoms acting up. Which can only mean one thing: my emotions were a fraud

19 March, Tuesday
Slab with Andrea + zq. She kept feeding me with fruits, cereal and yogurt n_n

Had a short walk before sending him off to the bus stop.

Summary: Conjured up one of the more serious issues with the boy. And I thought he would end things off. I guess things didn't end. And as G has noticed, my feelings might have returned.

20 March, Wednesday
- Bought some cookies from Pique Nique for Amelya
- NYDC for lunch
- Walked to Cineleisure to catch Warm Bodies
- Ice-cream @ Cold Stone


21 March, Thursday
American Club + Slab with Andrea and Jojo bee

22 March, Friday
Met Chewz and Kaiyi!!! ^^ Had lunch at Avenue Bistro @ Cineleisure. Food was alright but the service was so bad.




Exchanged her Ray Ban for my Police





Walked around, figured out that my G-Shock was never spoiled from the start.

Had Smoothie King because we are healthy people. Not really, but it's so good, my new found love. What is Boost to me now.



Dessert time @ Dean and Deluca!!!!


HER HAIR SO COOL ~~~





Croissant

Berries & Flap Jack

Sour Cherry Tart

Pool after such a long time. Won CT by luck because I really suck at pool la.

23 March, Saturday
Slab with Jolene + zq. Bought food for my dear girl because she was broke and hungry. Gladys came down for a short while and she took (and edited) this picture so that I could put it on my blog hehehehehehehe


24 March, Sunday
Slab with Trix and Syaza. Asnita came down!!!!!!!! Didn't get to take a picture with her! She has been working at Famous Amos @ Parkway Parade all along!

Dinner with family (except NS boy) at Pappa Rich.

Today
Headed down to SIM with my Danial. Met up with Kaiyi and kitty to submit our documents! Hahahaha kitty self-invited herself, so cute. Went to Katong to karaoke @ Teo Heng.



Slab with Jeremie. Gen came down and she is so skinny now!!

Another hectic week ahead. So so afraid of Good Friday @ the slab + weekends at the country club.






Mom said that she wonders how my friends can stand me, because she can't. Which gets me thinking, "Yeah, how is that possible."

- I am a snob
- I complain and judge people when I'm in no position to do so (Quoted from the boy: You don't like so many people. He also said that I like to complain T-T)
- I tweet + blog-hint about people
- How did I even get someone to like me, I really don't get him
- I am materialistic
- I'm rude to my parents, well basically my family and I have the tendency to tell them off
- I have anger management issues
- I can't do house chores for nuts (to be honest, the room attendants in Maldives said that I was slow and well, I just suck at sweeping)
- I think that my pride is more important than reconnecting the bond between Raiyan and I


But I'm trying, I'm really trying

+ I've kept the correcting of people's grammar, spelling and pronunciation to a minimal (or at least I try. But honestly, can you not use a past tense if there is a 'did' in the sentence)
+ When I was young, I used to show off to my cousins about all the things I get from my dad. Aren't I working for my stuff now? Do you see me shoving my stuff to peoples' faces now?
+ I used to bitch about a lot of people on my blog. Now I only do it because I really need to have it noted down somewhere
+ I used to judge people who listen to mainstream music. I still do but I don't go, "eeeeee" now. Now I just shut up and sing along to Bieber/TSwift with them.
+ I don't really tweet. I'm afraid it might turn out to be some some crude statement or comment about someone or something. I refrain myself from complaining/bragging about something, but it's hard given my snobbish personality
+ I don't think it's pride that's stopping me from talking to Raiyan anymore. It's more of fear. Fear of rejection, fear of how I'm going to do it to make it work. I love him and I always will. I'm very grateful for everything that he has done for me; cooking when the parents are gone, helping me with stuff (He said to Darth Vader, "If Sherina told me she was going for the SIA interview, I could have helped her get through to the second round.". Although it was rude of him to ignore my presence, because I was just beside him, thanks bro)
- I try my best to help strangers at times
- I started to believe in love, I think

I need to be a better person. And I'm improving, slowly but surely. I just need time. (cue Better Girl by Best Coast)

Ok la maybe I shouldn't care. I shouldn't judge people, I shouldn't correct people, I shouldn't hint to people. I shall just be a wallflower. Trust me, I wouldn't like myself either.

11 March, Monday
- Went to American Club for an interview
- Applied for universities with MND. Dad doesn't seem keen on sending me to United Kingdom though, which is a complete bummer because I prefer it to Australia. I mean they have musicals there, hello I'm a sucker for musicals
- Family din dins at Apollo

12 March, Tuesday
HAHA started work at American Club already. Had an apple and rushed to Marble Slab... to work.

13 March, Wednesday
After work at the country club, met up with the mom to go to MND again. Had lunch @ Secret Recipe after.

I was totally exhausted from my hectic schedule. And I almost died.

14 March, Thursday
I think it was a productive day; fasted, cut 6" of my hair, jogged, deposited my savings, finally topped up money on mah new debit card so that I can use it as an EZ link. It's black eh, so cool

Met the boy boy boy who started liking random pictures using my Instagram T____T

15 March, Friday
Went to ION Orchard with mother to fix my flight ticket. Then we had lunch @ TCC. Hehehehehe one of my favourite places! I had the Easter special ^^





Stayed over at the bride's house.

16 March, Saturday
Pre-wedding ceremony, home, jogged, The Vampire Diaries.

Today
Main wedding. All I did was eat and wait for time to pass. I was really exasperated because it was so hot and I don't get why Malays don't break the tradition of holding their weddings under the void deck. (it seems very cheap eh) I know they're trying to maximise the amount of guests they can invite but maintain eh. It's really very hot and loud, I cannot tank.

So I was perspiring, and perspiring, and perspiring like never before. What provoked me was when I found out that Darth Vader has sent the boys home. I was honestly so bored (and my claustrophobia didn't help at all) there that I really wanted to cry. Since I have anger management issues, I walked up to the last floor (okay, 9th was the highest) and sat there, reading my e-book, trying to calm myself down. Then I discreetly stole my mom's EZ link card and went home without telling anyone. Pew pew pew runaway bridesmaid on the loose!

But technically, I wasn't really needed there since her friends were with her everywhere she went.


___

I have been really afraid for next week to start. It's so hectic, that looking at my calendar book just scares me to death.

AC (6 hours) + x
MS (9 hours)
x
AC (6 hours) + MS (4 hours)
x
MS (9 hours)
MS (9 hours)

Then I realised that I've already reached my target for the trip -_______- can I quit both jobs now lololol. I think my MS supervisor wants to kill me by scheduling me with so many shifts.

CIAO FIT GIRL GOING TO JOG FOR THE THIRD TIME THIS WEEK WHADDUP GUISE (loljk, I stuffed my face with lots of brownies, cheescake brownies, marble cake and fried food just now)

Friday, March 15, 2013

It's 3:30am and I am too stoked about the trip that I have been researching about stuff to do. Universal Studios, my fourth (out of five) Disneyland, musicals, shopping. And I do not like to feel obligated to get stuff for people when they didn't offer to do the same when they travel. Like what do you expect bro, have some dignity. That's why I haven't told people that I'm leaving sneaky sneaky

It was nice to have the boy's company earlier on, though it was a short while. I don't know, walao I'm just bored and hungry now la so I'm typing nonsense ciao
