Long Time No See

HELLO GUYS, 
I know I haven't been updating this blog lately. 

 So many things happened but I'm too lazy to write all of them into this post. Lazy Roushan is really lazy. 

May:

• Got myself an undated planner because I decided that I need to get my life sorted out.

Bought this planner from Typo because their planners are really pretty and they are just what I needed. :) Like look at it, it's a different theme/design every month and there's also monthly + weekly planner so you're neat and organised through and through. How wonderful is that. Thy best planner I've ever had so far: 

• ES Society Sub-Committee Selections
• Rotaract Camp 2015

I was a GL for this camp and although I wasn't all that hyped up (because I was sick throughout the camp. -.-), it was still enjoyable nevertheless and I even got to make new friends. WoohOOOOO. 

Captain Americaaaaa. We painted our cheeks with the logo for Capt A.

 My face was really red because I was ill.

She's Syafiqah, a fellow GL of the same group and we get along so well because we have so much in common. I'm really glad and thankful we met. :]

• Helping out for Graduation

I had to get a white button down shirt and also a black pencil skirt. Ugh. And, I had to spray my hair black. So much effort just for 2 CCA points. On the bright side, I get to skip lessons. Hehehe.

• Singapore Shooting Cup

My first ever shooting competition and also my last because I am no longer in Shooting. Oops. Anyway, it was a really unique experience being a competitive shooter and I'm so proud of myself for not being in the last place. AHahah. Now what am I gonna do with the remaining pellets since I didn't renew my shooting membership with SAFRA.

• A*STAR Scholarship Interview

I screwed up. It was horrible. I was late for the interview and it didn't last long. There wasn't much to talk about. There's practically no hope for me. Bought myself SmoothieKing afterwards to cheer myself up a little.

June:

• Start of Part-time Job

Yes, I'm currently working and studying at the same time. Reason: I needed more cash to support myself. This part time job is beginning to tire me out because the working hours are from 6.30pm-12am and by the time I reached home, it's already 1am. I've still gotta bathe and get ready for school tmr and so I only got to sleep at 2. Morning classes begin at 8, which means I need to wake up at 6, which equates to 4 hours of sleep. How did you even survive, Roushan. The only thing that is motivating me to keep this part-time job is the pay. 

• Term Break (2 weeks)

I was supposed to have shooting camp during the first week but it was cancelled because there wasn't enough sign-ups. -.- 

• Common Test Week

Common tests were pushed back because of SEA games and so we had our break first. Some of the papers were killer papers, especially CRAY and Thermodynamics. And I didn't do well for Thermo. Sighhhhh. Guess who is gonna study their ass off the day before Thermo exam.

• Start of IS (Hon Hon French)

My IS (Interdisciplinary Studies) starts this term and it's Basic Conversational French (BCF). So far, it's really interesting. Both the history/culture and also the language. I'm glad I got this IS module. Ehehe.

July: (I know, it ain't over yet. But, all well, it's coming to an end anyway)

• Movie Night

The first ever movie night by the ES Society and it's pretty successful! Yayyyyy.

The movie was Kingsmen and it was hilarious. We even made popcorn for the night. I hope the following movie nights will be just as enjoyable or even better. 

• Dates with Shu Fei (Bae)

We went to eat Sushi Express @ NEX on a Tuesday after my IS and our stomachs are filled with salmon when we finished. Hahahaha. It's good and only for $1.50. Hell yeah, baby. 

Haven't had such good sushi in a while. Although we both had the oyster sushi each which tasted really horrible, it was full of the fishy taste. Didn't know why I thought it was a good sushi to give it a try. Anyway, after that we went to shop around NEX for a bit before rushing back to Bishan Library due to an emergency. Exhilarating. 

A few days later, we met up @ AMK Typo in search for quote book and planner because bae needed them. She ended up getting the same planner as me. HAhahaha. I have good taste. And I ended up getting a really pretty foolscap book with a cheetah + galaxy-ish background as the cover page. It's only $3. A good buy indeed.

• SG50 Promotions

Don't know why, but there's a lot of SG50 promotions this month. Well, better for me. Hahahha. There's $1 sushi @ umisushi every Thursday and free ice-cream topping every Wednesday @ KOI. AWESOMEEEE. 

• BIGBANG concert

OMG. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW GREAT THAT CONCERT WAS. IT'S AMAZING. I WAS FANGIRLING ALL THE WAY OVER TOP AND GD.

TOP IS FREAKING HANDSOME. TAEYANG IS FULL OF CHARISMA. GD IS A HEAVENLY MIX OF CUTENESS AND SWAG. SEUNGRI AND DAESUNG ARE JUST SO HILARIOUS. 

Okay, that's it for now. I find the time to update again!

Anyway,
HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS!!

Sweet

One fine day, while I was heading to Northpoint from the bus interchange, a dude approached me. Even though I was clearly avoiding potential promoters by listening to music from my headphones. He came up to me and introduced himself. He was scouting people. People who are willing to go for commercials/advertisements. In other words, talents. 

ME?!

Why me?

Do you need an eye check-up?

However, it's not decided yet, I'm just another option. Hehehehe. False alarm, guys. Calm down. 

Here's a macaroon to soothe your hurt feelings:

Mugcakes

1st attempt:

6/10. It was okay-ish, it wasn't very moist. In fact, it was really dry and it hardens quick. Didn't really enjoy it much.

2nd attempt:

8.5/10. This was probably my most successful mugcakes by far. It was really moist and chewy. Although it was quite bitter at first, it turned out fine after a couple more bites. By the way, I used a different recipe this time round (there's no eggs in this one!).

3rd attempt:

7/10. The shape and how it turned out was really pretty (the first pic!), look at how round it came out! I was surprised myself too! Hahaha. Then I tasted it, and it was too salty. I even resorted to adding milk and it's not that bad. 

Last Day

Today marks the last day of the first semester break and I'm simply saddened by it's arrival. Why is this semester break so short? 
What productive things have I done except for watching endless animes and going on Tumblr? 
Why do I feel so sluggish even though I haven't done much? 
This semester's break has been a lonely one. But, nonetheless, I've got my Tumblr buddies to accompany me and they are such lovely sweethearts! :) If it's not them, I wouldn't even be trying to wake up every noon. I would have just stayed in bed and rot away. 

Anyway, let's get started on the updates:

Shu Fei and I went to a Cat Cafe few days ago. We've been planning to go to cafes for ages but unforeseen circumstances kept getting in our way, thus not being able to go to any cafes earlier. We went there at it's opening hour and some other people were there too (I didn't expect there will be 5-6 other people coming this early and also that day wasn't a public holiday either) Here are some pictures:

This is my kind of paradise. Cats are seriously so cute and their fur is so smooth and soft. I would like to raise a kitten as a pet but my family members would definitely oppose to it because we've never raised any dogs/cats, so it would be troublesome and tedious for all of us to train it (like where they can do their business and such). We went there for an hour and it costs $12 (their rates: $12 for the first hour). Didn't stay any longer because Shu Fei gotta rush off to school and somewhere else after that. Also, we didn't buy any food from there as it's quite expensive and no one seems to be serving them yet. Hence, we went to get Astons for lunch. I bought another SmoothieKing to drink along and it's Banana Island this time. They even gave me a redemption card! 

(My phone's camera is unable to auto-focus. I'm frustrated too, please let me change my phone to a better one asap.)

And here I am trying to draw:

They are all characters from Teen Titans, doesn't look like it, huh. My best one has gotta be StarFire at the top right hand corner, not bad right? By the way, it's Jinx, StarFire, Raven aand Robin that I've drawn, in case you can't recognise any of them because of my awful drawing skills. I've just finished the whole series from Season 1 to 5, plus the finale movie! And I'm started to miss the team already. I wish Cartoon Network would pick them up again and start a Season 6 because this yearning inside me is growing stronger. Just like how it's accumulating ever since HxH anime ended. 

It's okay, I can entertain myself with Teen Titans Go!, the chibi version of Teen Titans. Hehehehe. 

Guilty Pleasure

It's been a week already huh. Why does time flies so quickly yet passes so slowly when I feel like I've got all of the time in the world. I think it's probably time management issues, I should consult a specialist. Hahahah. 

So, just some quick updates,
Here are some of my new obsessions:

1. Iced Green Tea Latte from Starbucks. I fell for it the moment I tasted it, it's practically love at first sip. The first time I tried it was when we were having a field trip to the National Museum and my friend bought this drink. He gladly let me try it and I never wanna get anything else other than Iced Green Tea Latte from Starbucks anymore. Yes, it's that good, I'm not even kidding. I'm serious! (Hah, I told them my name is Roy. *Evil Laughter* That surprised look on their faces when they heard me say a boy's name is what I seek when I buy drinks from Starbucks.)
   
2. 3 Days Grace. It's a rock band and I hate the fact that I just discovered them. Their songs are really good and that one song that made me listen to them this entire week was Animal followed by Pain. Both of them are really catchy and I just love the tune/melody. 
   
3. Shopping. I think I'm gradually becoming a shopaholic. I've bought a dark denim jacket from CottonOn, a white-and-blue plaid jacket from UniQlo, 7 shirts from CottonOn (because they are on sale and it's super cheap), a star-design chiffon sleeveless shirt from H&M, a pair of shorts from CottonOn, a pair of leggings from UniQlo. And I'm not done yet, from DressLink (a super cheap online shop), I got 2 tank tops, 3 bralets, a pair of ripped denim shorts, a pair of leggings again, a baseball-design shirt and finally, a green army jacket. Holy crap. Someone please stop me. Send help please. 
   

I think that's it for my obsessions. 3 is more than enough. Now, let me update you on some probably insignificant to you but I hope you'll read them but it's okay if you don't stuffs. 

So, firstly, I'm gonna celebrate my birthday and my friends' one later on. There's just one thing, she decided to surprise me later by inviting some of our friends to join us but what she doesn't know is that I have found out about her surprise and I'm gonna surprise her back with cakes and presents. Hohoho. I'm so excited to see her reaction now. Here's a photo of the birthday present I bought her, it's super duper ultra adorable. 

And to top it off, it's mega soft and nice to touch. I hope she'll like it, although it's really cliche to give soft toys as presents. Well, at least it's cute, right?

Next, I'm currently addicted to Tumblr, and that's why I haven't been updating as often. I'm sorry. Since I'm already at it, I might as well promote myself. Please follow me @rourooooou. Heheheh. Tumblr is such an amazing place to be, I'm digging it. 

My type of fun

It's finally the holidays as I've mentioned in the previous posts and since it's holidays, typical kids like me went out to have fun!

And thus, the five of us (the 74 gang) went to USS (Universal Studios Singapore) on Thursday:

 Whoops, this photo is taken a bit tilted. 

And it was a whole lot of fun! We took the Canopy Flyer twice, the Water Ride FIVE FUCKING times and the MUMMY THRICE. Beat that! Hahaha. The reason we could get on so many rides was probably because it wasn't the official holiday and also since it's a weekday. There's wasn't much people and the waiting time was also reasonable. The longest waiting time we had to experience was only 40 minutes on the Transformers' Indoor Rollercoaster Ride. By the way, it's was really cool with it's 3D effects, definitely worth the wait and queue. The first ride we took was this kiddy Sesame Street ride and it's about saving pastas and macaronis. The pace was really slow and it's almost like sight-seeing. Well, that couldn't really be categorized under appetizers, it's just sight-seeing done on a fancy car. And after that, we went onto the Transformer and that's what I call a refreshing rollercoaster ride. You guys should totally go ahead and try it when you go there. It has realistic effects and the pace compliments the motion which was fast and bumpy with all the jerks in the correct place (this sounds wrong, doesn't it, or is it just me). Anyway, after that, we went to watch WaterWorld which is a performance done by stuntmen about battling against the villains to go DryLand. Although it may sound cliche, the stunt were incredible followed by the booming sounds and effects. We sat in the splash zone but we didn't even get one single drop of water poured on us. Lucky us. Unfortunately, it started drizzling and we were too lazy to take out our umbrellas thus resulting in all five of us being half-wet (if it's even a word). We didn't get on the Shrek 4D ride because Brandon was apparently traumatized by the infamous video "Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life". Hahahaha. As we had lots of time to enjoy the rides, we also went on to take the Merry-Go-Round and the Boat Adventure, which are both kiddy rides, at Madagascar.  

All in all, it has been an amazing day albeit the drizzling (we still get to ride the outdoor rollercoaster rides sooo), I would definitely go again soon if possible! Hehehehe.
