Interview day!

Woke up at 8.30am today and checked my temperature in bed. 36.8--> no more fever!
Good good. 今日は行ける！
Went to get my breakfast at the living room, and heard the gates and door lock sounds. My sister actually managed to come back home before 9am! Either it's lucky she don't need to work OT today, or she came home earlier for me today. Hahahaha
Ahh ahh. I'm still not feeling that nervous yet, but I'm pretty sure I will later nearing school.

From Shinobu. Thank you for your support as always!

(Update 10.40am): About to change into formal clothes for the interview now, and then get my makeup done. I've been staring and staring at the questions, but I don't know if anything's going in. Ahhhh I'm feeling so nervous and scared! I don't feel confident at all. But I have to do this! I have to believe in myself that I can answer the teacher's questions. Please don't kill us with weird and crazy questions later, teacher! T_T

(Update 12.15pm) In the MRT otw to school now. Dressed in formal wear + makeup + hair tied up. Have heeled shoes packed in my bag to change later, because I'm not used to walking in heeled shoes for long distances @_@

Soooo nervous. My interview report time is 1pm, and interview starts at 1.10pm. Hopefully everything goes well please. At least it's not raining today! 

By the way, after doing my makeup, my sister was like staring at my hair and remarking on all my horrible split-ends and oily hair and random random hair standing (T_T), so at first she did my hair like this to cover them all up:

But honestly I never liked my hair bun up because I don't think I look natural/suits me at all. But my sister keep believing that I have a small face and head so she always insisted on bunning up my hair even though I keep refusing. In the end before I went out, I really undid all her work on my head and just left the house with a simple hairtie ponytail. I apologise sister, but really, I already straight out rejected you before you started doing it but you still went ahead so...*shrug* At least I kept your make up on for a few hours at school after my interview, so your sacrifice for time to sleep didn't go to waste! :D

So this is me before going out~

Random shot of the train I'm in otw to school. Was sending this to Shinobu to show him how empty my train is (no seats tho) when he sent me photos of his bus that's literally empty. Lucky him!

I then realized I forgot to wash the makeup off my fingers, thus they look horrible at that time haha! My index finger was even bleeding a bit because I was picking the skin there...gah.

Annnnnd last shot of me right before I went for the interview x.x Can't really see the nervousness in my face haha...

(Update 1.40pm *pushed back because teacher need to set-up vidcam equipment. She's videoing our interviews T_T*): OMG IT'S OVER!!! I think overall it went quite okay. The teacher told me my eye contact this time has improved a lot from last time, and my responses are good and well prepared. I also appear confident. The areas I need to impove are: Responses need to be more detailed (My answers are mostly impromptu and I can't think hahaha) and I always look down when I'm thinking. Otherwise it's okay!

The questions she asked are "Tell me about yourself, what do you know about our company (thank God I researched), what is your greatest weakness, why should we hire you out of all the applications we received, how can you contribute to our company, why will you want to work here (because your previous company is accounting, and the job you're applying for is finance industry), what will you do to improve yourself for your career goal, what do you want to achieve in 5 years, any questions for me."

Ahahaha most of my answers are impromptu! So she kept prompting me questions (what else do you know about our company, how else will you improve yourself to achieve your career goal, technical and soft skills wise)

I saw the marksheet on her table and she wrote A-, A-, and B+. So I guess I didn't do too badly for my interview. Anyway, I'm just glad it's all over! 

Now I'm just chilling out with my friend outside her classroom. It's a warm afternoon...

Took some sky pictures in the train~ The first picture is from Bukit Batok to Bukit Gomak, and the next two pictures are from Bukit Gombak to CCK.

(Update 5.03pm): Back home now. Make-up removed, showered and resting. In the end, I waited with my friend until another friend came for her interview, then just waited and chatted with them until the rest of her classmates cleared at 3pm =3= There goes my lunch.
Apparently her class has class chalet tomorrow, but the both of my friends are not going. One is sick, and one just don't want to go because of the travelling distance! It's at Pasir Ris, and she stays at Tiong Bahru hahaha... (although one of her classmates stays at Woodlands but she's still going anyway)

So, after that, I was supposed to go Charles & Keith at Clementi mall to check for a bag which my friend (the Tiong Bahru one) wants for her birthday. I then discussed and whatsapped secretly with my other friend to meetup at Clementi MRT station after they separate (they both take the same line home). Ahaha she said it's troublesome but she's very nice and came to meet me anyway~`
Anddd we saw the bag! So luckily for her, her trip is not wasted~
We tripled checked the code, colour, size, everything, before purchasing it. I paid first, and brought the bag home with me. It's...$89.90 c: Splitting it with 3 other friends.
After that, I accompanied her to Popular upstairs as she wants to buy the birthday cards. I bought mine last December from Tokyu Hands already. They're a bit more prettier this year as we're all entering our big 2 ;w; When she finished, we parted ways and headed home.

And this is where the drama started >:O On the way home, I kept seeing dark clouds in the sky. Worried, I LINEd Shinobu if it was raining at his area, to which he replied "Not yet". Then, the sky cleared partially, so I was thinking I could just alight at Yew Tee. However, I saw dark clouds again at CCK. I LINEd him if I should stay or alight at CCK. He told me I should stay, and I myself thought that it wouldn't rain too. So I stayed, and reached Yew Tee by train.
Everything was fine so far, until halfway after I crossed the traffic junction, IT FREAKING POURED!!!
I literally sweared out loud HAHAHA. I was like "MAJI?!?!" and then "F*** YOU SKY" (oops) BECAUSE THAT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME IT FREAKING DID THIS TO ME. LIKE IT JUST. POURED. AND IT COULDN'T WAIT LIKE A COUPLE MINUTES MORE FOR ME TO REACH HOME FIRST. IT HAS TO RAIN NOW. -_-
The thing is, I was telling Shinobu not to keep saying that I chose the wrong choice because of his bad luck etc., but he was like "You'll see =3=, and den you can shut me up" and right before it rained, he texted "not yet".

"NOT YET"

IS SHINOBU SOME KIND OF WEATHER FORECASTER OR SOMETHING.

I cannot believe this.

Then I called my mom, hoping she could come and pick me up by car or something. But she just told me to take the train back to CCK and bus home because the car is with my dad, who is at work! What is thissssssssssssssssss
I refuse to travel all the way back to CCK and wait for the goddamn bus and waste more time. At that point of time, I was damn tired, my bad back is aching, I was carrying the heavy C&K bag, I'm soaked wet (bag and shoes), and I am very. very. very. hungry. Starving.

So, I went back to yew tee station and cabbed home. c:

For $5 c:

Just down the road c:

Yup that's the end of my drama otw home. Now I'm having dinner as I'm typing all these, and it's only 5.31pm. That's how hungry I am XD

Oh yeah Shinobu told me he got his paycheck yay! ^-^ (Cuz he went to the office today to get the company stamp. I have to do something similar last May at the end of my internship too XD I just used the company stamp and stamped on my internship logbook by myself because my supervisor is a receptionist, and all the company stamps are placed at the recep desk so I pretty much have access to it~)
Shinobu says he'll treat me. I think I didn't reply to that text but I remember ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I'll be waiting for him to treat his princess to good food ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Shhh don't tell him. ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

(Update 10.30pm): Been busy doing HBL for investment and ITFD (International Trade Finance & Document), even though I feel dead tired and sleepy. Kept yawning throughout all the online lecture videos haha! The investment quiz was really hard, and I think I had like 5-6 attempts before I got the full marks x.x
The ITFD one was worse. Before going through the lecture videos, I opened the quiz out of curiosity first, only to see that it's timed and there's only one attempt. Panicking, I quickly closed the quiz and went through the videos as normal. However when I went back to the quiz, the system told me that since I closed it, it just submitted the quiz automatically, and I got grade 0! Damn fail LOL
I was like "Oh shit. This is bad, this is bad" and immediately went to email my lecturer about it oops :D

Hope he replies otherwise my marks will fly~

Anyway.

Shall be doing the rest of the HBL assignments tmr with my friend, who's coming to my house. Meeting her at 10.30am.

Anyway anyway.

I ate supper! As usual, Shinobu knows I'll get hungry ~.~ Tbh I know too, but I always try to resist from eating at night because it's unhealthy. But I have a craving for hot noodles soup today, and I couldn't resist eating maggie mee.
So I went to search in my kitchen cupboard...and found this.

Thinking the noodles look a little weird in the picture (does not look like maggie >.>), but also thinking it looks like an innocent maggie cup packaging that's cheese flavour, I opened up the cup and took a look at its contents...

LOL IT'S NOT MAGGIE. I WAS DECEIVED.
It looks like tanghoon? Dong fen noodles?

Doesn't matter, I opened it already so I have to eat it anyway *pours hot water and waits for 3 minutes like normal*

The final product...

Ahaha, Shinobu's stomach was growling when I texted him all this because his house has no cup noodles so he can't join me and have a cup noodle supper night XD

So I realized that those yellow stuff floating is not popcorn (LOL), it's actually egg! So this cup flavour is egg flavour? Idk I saw another similar cup like this that has seaweed flavour.
I was wondering if I should actually eat the seaweed one instead at first, because I smelt the powder for this cup and it was weird >.> (BUT I TAKE ALL MY WORDS BACK. THE SOUP IS AWESOME AND I ENJOYED EVERY MOUTH OF THIS CUP THING) But I forgot Shinobu stays near BPP, and can get the seaweed pack again if I run out of seaweed :D

Okay I'm damn sleepy. Yup that concludes my fourth day of the new year 2016.

Here's a full picture of me dressed in formal wear with my makeup still on after reaching home from school to end off the post:

Kay bye goodnight (no energy to play Cytus anymore)

Fever problems

So...my temperature rose to 37.6 last night, and stayed constant there throughout the whole time I slept, until I decided enough is enough, and took panadol at 3.30am.
Since it wasn't rising or anything, I allowed my mild fever to continue in order to let my body fight off the bacteria on its own, but god it's so uncomfortable!
In exchange for raising the body heat to kill the bacteria, my feet is cold, my back ached and my head especially. Headacheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I couldn't sleep well at all. In the end, I couldn't stand it anymore, and I brought down my fever. I was finally able to sleep comfortably after my temperature went down.
It's now 10.10am as I'm typing this, and my temperature is back to the 36 degrees range. Let's just hope my temperature won't rise again for the rest of today :x

Update (4.40pm): I slept almost the whole afternoon again. c: And I'm starving now because I only ate half of my lunch. No appetite + my sense of taste is screwed up...
And I can feel my head aching, and my body temperature rising again. In fact I'm feeling so cold that I'm wearing socks and jacket now. I feel crazy, but the crazier thing is I'm not warming up at all ;-;
I shall go bath. Hopefully the shower will make me feel better...

Again, from Shinobu san:

(Update 9.30pm): Didn't finish dinner again, but managed to eat more than half of it. After dinner, my temperature stayed within the range of 37 to 37.4 degrees...but my head is aching as if it wants to increase >.< As a result, I cannot focus on rehearsing the interview questions tomorrow...I wonder if I'm going to be screwed tomorrow as I didn't do much practice at all. Lest can remember anything at all.
But still, I keep telling myself it's only 10 minutes. I can do this.
I'm extremely nervous though. Oh I haven't even packed my bag for tomorrow...

To my brain, please be good. I know you want to get rid of the bacteria by raising the body's temperature, but I cannot be feeling weak and uncomfortable tomorrow at the interview. So please, don't raise the temperature any more tonight. We already have the antibiotics and our own immune system fighting for us, okay?

We are strong. We can do this.

Sick :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Haha, so much for wanting a "fresh start for the year~*:･ﾟ✧" I woke up with a freaking painful sore throat this morning again! Again!!!
I just got one exactly a couple of weeks ago, and now it's back?! Was the doctor's antibiotics not effective against the bacteria anymore? Most probably. Plus the fact that I've been eating fried food just after I recovered too *shrugs*

Going to see the doctor now, after eating breakfast (swiss rolls). This is really bad...I texted him this morning but he hasn't woken up I think. Our piku niku outing... :'c

Update (10.15am): Back from the doctor. Once again, it's a throat infection. I told him it's just been 2 weeks since I've gotten a sore throat and recovered from it, and he told me some possible reasons could be the flu and cold viruses going around, and that if I have a sensitive nose, I could be more prone to catching these germs and getting sick too. Oh my god. It's probably both of these reasons I got sick hahahaha... so it's not Shinobu's luck! This guy always believes he rubbed his "bad luck" off me and I can't convince him otherwise tsk tsk.

The clinic. Can't believe I'm back at this place just after 2 weeks:

The doctor. Can't believe I'm seeing him again after 2 weeks.

The medicine he gave me was this:

Total cost: $36. The medicine themselves doesn't cost a lot, but the consultation fee is $24 alone ;-; Sigh, and our family can't qualify for CHAS card because our income level is well, above the requirement...^^" At least my dad can claim medical expenses from his company.

Oh my god. The moment I didn't tell him to give me the capsule antibiotic, he gives me this bitter Dhatrin antibiotics again! T_T Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy!! Every. Single. Time!

When my mom and bro went to see him, he gives them different antibiotics that's easier to swallow. For me, he always gives me this! T_T
I couldn't tell him to give me the capsule antibiotics this time as I already taken it 2 weeks ago, and it may not be effective in fighting the bacteria this time. So I got this! (cries)
Well, as Shinobu told me. I only have to bear with the taste for a few seconds. So I have to put up with it ;w;
Ah, and he was there with me (through texting XD) the whole time I went to see the doctor. Very very touched and grateful. ほんとにありがとうございます、忍さん！

Right now, I've already taken my medicine (everything, including runny nose medicine). So I may feel drowsy soon. In fact, I'm starting to feel drowsy now...but I have to stay awake because I'm going to have lunch soon. =3=

Also, as Shinobu has woken up (obviously hahaha), our plans are confirmed cancelled today. So I'm going to rest and stone today, again. Well at least I went out for lunch with him yesterday, so we did have a great start to the year after all. But what do we do with the things we bought...ahhh I guess I'm letting all the things rot in my table's cupboard for now ^^"

Update (7pm): I literally slept the whole afternoon from 1 to 5pm because of the runny nose medicine. It makes me super drowsy hahaha...wasn't even able to finish lunch and dinner just now. There goes 1/3 of my Saturday :/

Shinobu kept me company the whole day, sending me get well cards in LINE from time to time~
(Note: 3 boxes: 乖乖的）

                                       

 Aren't they cute? XD I'm really so touched~  Shinobu is a very caring and sweet person ^ ^
Oh, about the last card saying "Socks is love, seals is life"...it's referring to my socks and my current bedsheet hahahaha!

 

I'm wearing socks because my feet is really cold from the weather now. My sister got this for me from Japan!

And here's my seal bedsheet~ Super cute~

So now I'm eating carrot soup now. Hope that the soup will warm me up =w=

Update (9.15pm): Temperature is rising up. How wonderful =w=
Last temp I took was 37.4. It's rising up from 36.6.
Guess I'll have to start taking panadol if it hits above 38 degrees.

New year, new start

Well, here I am again.
I know I already tried to do this last April, but after a month or so, I gave up trying to update daily out of laziness haha!
Well no matter. I shall try again this year.
Plus, I made up with him, and he blogs too, so I guess I have more motivation to blog this year! Ahahaha~

The first day of 2016 went great.
Initially I had plans with my friend to go Bugis for her bag shopping, but that was cancelled as she messaged me late at night (around 12.30am) asking me if I'm okay with her friends coming along for the shopping, but I told her I'm not really comfortable hanging out with ppl I'm not familiar with. Thus, she said it's okay and that we'll meet next Tuesday to do the HBL assignments together instead. After that, I laid on bed, gazing off into the night sky of the first day of the new year 2016, when my phone vibrated and the screen lit up with the text message from him. Apparently he just got home from late night supper at Mcd at Fajar. Before that, I already messaged him saying I'm going to sleep, so when I replied him "Hello I'm still up :D", he was so surprised HAHAHA!! XD

So yeah he and I talked and when I told him my plans are cancelled and I have no lunch at home today =3=, we both thought of meeting each other for lunch at the same time haha~ Ended up meeting each other at BPP today for lunch at Kopitiam. 懐かしいな...being at BPP really brings back lots of memories, even though I see that it's completely renovated new, with all the modern new shops.

After lunch, we went shopping for our piku niku (picnic) at Daiso, which we're having tomorrow evening at Marina Barrage. Both the lunch and picnic are very impromptu lol (in fact all our meetups so far excluding gardens by the bay are all impromptu XD I like how easily we can just meet each other anytime we want haha! Pros of staying nearby)
Here's the list of items we bought today:



After shopping, I went home, and reached around 3pm. Showered and rested. At night, I continued rehearsing for my interview next Monday (sigh), and we also discussed what we're going to order tomorrow at Mos Burger (he's the one who came up with this idea. Tensai da! We decided to scrape the original idea of pizza to replace with this)

Ahaha...$14 round up per person...expensive piku niku.
But neither of us have any picnic experience before. So we're going to live our youth tomorrow!
明日楽しみです。 Let's hope all our plans will go smoothly ;w; because not everything went smoothly for our gardens by the bay outing...haha...hahaha...(remembers skywalk disaster)

The first day of 2016 is going to be over in 5 minutes...time flies so fast.

じゃあ皆、今年もよろしくお願いします！
I hope for a good year ahead...I have a strong feeling this year will be an important for me. Entering the big 2, graduating polytechnic, entering another milestone in my life...
I will continue to fight on ahead. Even though I stress myself out easily and get really tired as a result. Ahaha but that's just how I am~

Just finished constructing a Facebook page to share all my piano covers to!
Facebook page: Rui ruii
Yes!

So today I went with three other people to some warehouse sale where several blogshops are clearing their stock there.
I didn't get anything much except only 1 top because the clothes there are not really nice. Or just so-so. :/
We spent a couple of hours there, then headed to causeway point to spend the rest of our afternoon there.
We had pepper lunch for lunch, and we all ordered cheesy omelette with curry rice with chicken/beef. Very full. The portions are always large. X.X
So yes that's how I spent my Saturday.~

But more importantly....

*ANIME SECTION BELOW*

TONIGHT KONOHA IS GOING TO APPER IN THE COMING FOURTH MEKAKUCITY ACTORS EPISODE.
FINALLY.
I'VE BEEN WAITING TO SEE HIM MOVE AND TALK.
I kept checking the Mekakucity Actors anime website for screenshot previews of the fourth episode.
AND THEY FINALLY UPDATED A FEW HOURS BEFORE THE EPISODE AIRS.
AND KONOHA APPEARS.
(As well as Hiyori)

Yes, the infamous truck scene is going to happen tonight.
This is when the whole kagepro thing started getting really popular.
I am looking really, really foward to this episode.
Please, please do not disappoint me. ;_;

Need to wait until 11pm...

Friday night

Parents are coming back tonight! Yay yay.

At 9pm later(which is quite soon already), I'm going with my sister to the airport to welcome them back.~
Today my friends and I also gave Shu Ying an early birthday present. (Her birthday is tomorrow)
Yes, she realized that we lied when we said we're going home immediately after we ate at the little humble but sweet cafe called MollyCoddle at Clementi which serves toast ice cream.
Here's a picture:~

I ordered honey toast double scoop(Salted caramel and vanilla). Yum yum.~
But I actually don't know how to use a fork and knife properly, so I had a really hard time trying to cut the toast, so as a result all the ice cream melted and it was really funny and all my friends were laughing at me HAHAHA. *depressing lines behind my head*
In the end one of them helped me to cut my toast. ._.
*cough* Anyway, so yeah, we gave Shu Ying her early birthday present.
4 face masks, one skin lotion and starbucks gift card.
And she's happy with them, so all is good.~
She turns 19 this year haha.
Tomorrow I'm going with her and two more people to some warehouse sale quite near my house.~
Hopefully I'll be able to buy a new phone case because my old bumper broke. ;n;

Happy Labour's day!

Hurry up and come home, ma and pa.
Too many days I leave the house, still dark, silent and empty.
Too many days I come back to a dark, silent and empty house, and spend the night alone.
I'm really scared of the dark.
I don't want to be alone for too long.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~
For the past few days, my parents left for a one-week vacation trip to China(as usual, they always go to China and never get sick of it.)
I managed fine together with my siblings, but because both of them are often not at home, I had to do most of the household chores myself, no matter how tired I am or how much schoolwork I had, especially if I'm alone in the house for that day.
I realized that a student can never live alone by himself without at least one more person helping out with domestic work.
But I have to leave the cooking and the washing of clothes to my sister, though. I don't know how to cook, and I don't know how to use the washing machine. I hanged the clothes and kept them after that.
It's fine. Now this shows that we can live by ourselves at least a week without our parents.
After all, all three of their children are at least 18 yrs and above already.
They're coming back tomorrow night, and I'm going to the airport with my sister to welcome them back.
Looking foward to see them, I really miss them.~

~.~.~.~.~.~.~
So, a now-ex classmate of mine transferred to another class yesterday.
Everyone knows why she transferred.
But I do not care, because she is not close to me.
I was only concerned that she return me my phone charger that was long overdue.
The previous day, I lent her my charger without a second thought, expecting her to return it to me soon.
But then, a dramatic event occured (one of my male classmates hurled a string of vulgarities at my friend, the class chairperson, when he was being paired with the classmate who has now transferred to another class, for some class activity for class participation marks, and naturally my friend, who was all innocent because it was her teacher who arranged them not her, and she started crying loudly after the class left), and in the midst of all the chaos, she actually dared to leave the school with my charger without even telling me.
Ah, while typing all of this, I started feeling angry again.
So I won't type this too much in detail, because then I will start feeling all kinds of unpleasant feelings.
Of course, she returned my charger THE NEXT DAY, only after much pestering and reminders from me.
Even when she return to me, she had such a black face on and didn't even mutter a "thanks" or "sorry" to me. Really? I should be the one having a black face on since she was being so rude.
But whatever, the matter is over. Everybody is glad and relieved that she is finally out of our class.
So am I.
Previously, I actually had nothing against her, since I never worked with her for projects before, and I always didn't pay much attention to her anyway since I had no reason to.
But after this incident, yeah. I dislike her. A lot.
And I'm glad that she's out.
And most of the other classes know of her in bad way, because my classmates spread news about her to their other friends.
I guess that's partly the reason for her black face.
Well good luck to her.
I don't, and never did, even care about her anymore.
~.~.~.~.~.~.~
It's Labour day, and it's always a personal reminder to me.
That I'm going to turn another year older in 5 days time.
This year, I'm going to turn 18.
However, with all the recent events that happened to me, I feel that I'm not going to turn 18 with honour.
No, I don't deserve to turn 18.
I still can't do a lot of things.
I'm still naive about so many things in the world.
I can't cook, I can't wash clothes
I cry easily
I am weak
I still can't use a fork and knife properly
Many things happen daily that makes me reluctant to look foward to my birthday.
I'm like "Don't come!"
I can't.
But time doesn't care.
Like it or not, you're going to grow older.
I wish that, on my 18th birthday, nothing bad will happen.
Not over here, not over in Singapore, not over in the world.
Of course that is an impossible wish.
Every minute something bad always happens.
What makes my birthday so special that on that day itself, all good things will happen and all bad things will cease just because I turn 18?
That's why,
I shall wish for something else.
Like a giant harp seal pup pillow or something.
But really.
On my birthday, I shall go through that day with pride and honour that I have managed to survive 18 years on Earth, and counting.
Even though I gave up so many times, cried a lot and felt depressed because I felt left behind by people I know in life, or just simply because I couldn't do a simple thing, I will still walk on.
I will not waste my life.
If I can live, I will live on. For as long as I can.
