Mind Domination.

Happy 50th post! (:

Time sure passes fastttttttt, but no, not when you're missing someone and that person's not there with you.

Boyfriend is in Bali, and he won't be back till tomorrow! He's been there ever since Wednesday, and I wonder how he's doing.

Well, I can't wait for Monday, cause that's the day I'm meeting him! (:

Anyway, back to today's topic.

Well, actually, there isn't really a topic. It's gonna be more of a rant.

I'm pissed.

Why?

Because today was an ultra busy day, and my colleaugue came in late. 2 hours late. I would literally die of exhaustion if Averlyn hadn't came in to help. What made it worse was that he freaking went for a break when we were busy, and obviously, that didnt help at all. I had no break for 9 hours straight.

The thing that pissed me off the most was the way he did the crepes. I mean like shit, who in the world does the crepes so sloppily? You do not simply put the ingredients anywhere as you wish, and you do not simply add as much or as little as you like as it affects the taste. And dude please, spread out the Nutella properly because if you don't, it looks like a pile of shit on the crepe.

I swear, I feel like crying for the customer whenever you do a crepe.

The best part of the entire thing, is when I give you advice on how to do the crepe better,

You answer me with "Also not I eat one, is the customers."

If everyone had the same mindset as you, trust me, every single food you consume will taste horrible for infinity and beyond.

And please, I felt like face-palming when I told you that I was serious and you replied me with "See my mood first".

ARE YOU A MULE?

Why're you so stubbornnnnnn. I mean like, it can't hurt, accepting advice and changing for the better, right?

Advice's there for you to reflect upon yourself to see if it's true. If it is, you jolly well learn to accept it and change for the better, or else prepare yourself for even more of it.

So fine, okay. Wait till one day, a customer finally complains about your crepe and dude, no one's gonna help you. I've spoken, you've ignored.

Anyway, I'm quitting on the 8th of April to prepare for Poly! :>

And I wanna find some time to spend with my sister, I miss her company. Or maybe find some random cookie recipe and bake with her. <3

Well, enough of rantings, it's time to shut down my lappy and whatsapp with Boyfriend. (:

Breakfast with Wei Chong and friends @ Dhoby Gaut tomorrow, 11AM! I hope that I can wake up on time, heh.

Goodnight world! (:

Love,

I badly need a haircut, my world is in lines. But I love my hair. Dilemma.

Well, enough nonsense and let's get on to the topic, shall we?

Guitar class made me happy today, I was beaming through the lesson. I really wanna thank my teacher, though I don't know his name. For every time he plays the guitar, I look and listen in awe.

Next, would be my sister, Narisa. I had some really ridiculous time with her.

She bought this.

Basically, it's donuts. Edible donuts that you make by yourself, with no needs of the oven.

It costs a whopping $11.50 for a small box, as heard from my dad. It was bought at Scape.

Hmm. SO. In the box lays many different satchets which contains ingredients such as flour and icing.

Mixed the satches of flour with Narisa, and then rolled them into a shape of a ball.

They were then moulded into urm, what, donuts? With the help of the plastic mould.

I know right, so cute, yet it doesn't look edible.

Next comes the icing.

And then the tasting. It tasted like shit, serious.

I had one bite with her, and we both burst out laughing, because it tasted so weird and powdery.

Patch

Okay, so this rascal was found in a clothing store. And yes, it's home with me, and it's getting fat. I find it seriously cute, somehow. But i'll be releasing it by the end of the month, I'm just keeping it till it's healthy enought to move along. I'm gonna miss it.

Struck a trade off with daddy to set free my 3 turtles in return for getting a proper mouse. LOL. :>

The next and final topic I'd wanna talk about is Justin Bieber. And I did warn you that this was gonna be a wordy post, did I? Well, I'm gonna take that back and change it to a post with lots of pictures instead, as I'm really tired. ):

So I came across a status on the RP-ians 2012 page which went "Like if you hate Justin Bieber, comment if you don't".

I commented a <3.

Say the name Justin Bieber and words like 'gay', 'girl' and 'untalented' come about.

And of course, the status rounded up more likes than comments.

I've always wondered on why people hate him. Sure, he's not the best singer in the world but hey, he can sing. And why the hell is he gay when he has a girlfriend? I'd facepalm whenever I see the word gay.

Out of all the insults and critism, I think that 'gay' is the most shallow of all.

It's funny how people hate on him, when all he ever did was did what he loved, and follow his dreams. I mean like, hey, he got famous. That stands for something. He never asked to be found, he never asked to be famous. Someone recognised his talent, and simply gave him a chance to nurture it, that's all.

And if you've noticed, he's never let his haters get the best of him. That's what I admire most.

As the saying goes,

*Shrugs*.

Oh well, I love him, period.

#Belieber.

You don't need to know all his songs, know when are his concerts or know every other single detail of him to be one. By simply supporting his dreams, you're naturally one. (:

LAST OF ALL, I just watched Hunger Games with my family!

It's a 4.5/5 show to me, as it made me cry. (':

okay, point taken, that I let my emotions control me easily during movies, but this particularly movie made me sob. And that heartless cold-blooded sister of mine cried to. I think that's convincing enough! Some complained that the movie was too draggy, but i guess it's different for all of us. The movie was two and a half hours long, by the way.

I wanna watch it again! :>

But no, it's psat midnight and I have to get off the computer.

I'm going out with Xiao Fox and Amira tomorrow, and I'm soooo watching The Woman In Black. FINALLY, an effing horror show. Tomorrow's gonna be great. I can feel it! <3

Love,

Titanium.

HELLO.

I had Marble Slab with Hans yesterday, and it was his treat, heh. <3 I promised to do a review, and here it is, although I can't really remember all the flavours we took. :>

He bought the 5 scoops one, like ohmygod. The distinctive flavours that I remembered were Butterscotch Pecan, Rocher and Cheesecake. Speaking of cheesecake, can I just add on that Marble Slab's cheesecake ice cream is a milion times better than Cold Stone's? I liked the rich taste, it serisously felt like I was eating a cheesecake, a frozen one, that is!

Well, and here's Han's reccomendation, the Butterscotch Pecan. :> It was gooooooood. It was flavourful, yet is wasn't too sweet. AND I LOVE BUTTERSCOTCH. Brings me back to cookies, I love Famous Amos' Butterscotch Pecan cookies. One mouth of it and I'm like, kill me already please, this is awesomeee, and no, I'm not exaggerating. I mean like, why would I exaggerate when I ate 5 scoops of ice cream and not feel sick of it? Hans said that he wanted to break the 5 scoops record with me someday, and Id say, bring it onnnnnnn.

ROCHER. Omg, hazelnuts. You know, hazelnuts go well with almost anything. Cakes, cookies, milkshakes, ice cream. But it takes a lot for it to be special and distinguished. So obviously, It's good. (:

After eating the ice cream, we had a gossip-camwhore session. I actually have a lot of photos, but I'm not gonna upload all of them. I had fun. It was quality time, enough said. (:

Hmm, went to buy Derek's birthday present at Bugis Junction after that. I bought a notebook and a pen, and wrote in it. I felt that it was the most meaningful thing to do.

And I wrote it in the crepe shop. Inspirational much, yes? :>

Had pizza hut with the A-TEAM at TPY for Derek's birthday. Weiling, his girlfriend was there too. And they were so sweeeeeet. Can give you diabetessssss. I swear. And I still remember exclaiming out loud,

"Now I feel forever alone, after seeing them, like what the hell, what the hell."

Hilarious much, as halfway through Pizzahut, Hans came as a surprised and I'm not forever alone anymore. :>

*Screams like a little girl*.

And, I'm currently running tight on schedule for today, so I'm gonna stop blogging here, and continue tonight. It's gonna be a really wordy post. Stay tuned aye!

Sometimes it just hurts so much, that you're afraid of coming back up.

Hello earthlings, this is gonna be a very short post since I'm heading out soon.

School's about to start, and I seriously can't wait for that day to come!

Well, there's so many things that I want to buy now!

I want new sneakers, new shorts, and new slippers.

There's much more nonsense that I want, but I should control myself.

I think I'll be going back to playing Ragnarok Online and AuditionSEA again, haha! I've had quite a lot of fun playing AuditionSEA with Hans for the past few nights. He's good!

OH, and I need to make time for Yakitate, i'm currently on EP40. ONLY. ):

It's getting more and more exciting, gosh.

Well, I shall sign off here!

With love,

As time goes by, those fragments of you and I simply disappear.

Hello world, it's 12:54AM in the morning, and here I am, blogging.

Well, let's start of with 16th of March 2012.

Went to Malaysia with my family, it wasn't exactly a trip to remember as it was pretty boring. I slept through the car trips too, the weather was too stuffy for me to bear.

Bought two shirts, one from Esprit and one from Padini. Should be wearing them soon. I swear, my parents are aunties. They can walk around around in the same shop for hours and never get bored. Well, I do get bored. So the smart ones like me and my sister exits, grabs Coffeebean, and camwhores.

Lunch was held at some Japanese restaurant, yay, Jap food ! <3

I had Nabeyaki, Udon with tempura prawns, chicken and egg. Paradise, <3. Here are some pictures taken in the restaurant.

Hell yea, that's my badass sister.

Went to Jusco after that, for mass grocery shopping, Simply because the stuff there are dirt cheap, and my parents are aunties. I walked till my legs hurt.

P.S , on a side note. I love my hair very very much.

So, basically, that was all for the trip.

Let's talk about today.

Guitar class! I swear, the chords are so damn hard to play, with my terribly short fingers. But oh well, practice makes perfect, right?

Family outing to Haw Par Villa! Pictures are in mummy's phone, I'd probably get them uploaded on Facebook soon. That is, if i remember, and am not lazy to do so. What made it memorable was that it was raining halfway through. SO, we had to seek shelter for about an hour, and I literally took a cat nap.

Something pissed me off today too.

What pissed me off? Cold Stone Creamery. Yes. You heard me. An ice cream store pissed me off, and I'm telling you, it ain't funny at all.

It's an ice cream palur where you choose your flavour of ice cream, and they'd do it up for you with toppings like fruits or biscuits, depending on the Menu. I had pretty high expectations for it as the menu looked damn good, and Cold Stone is like, EVERYWHERE in Singapore.

What do you do when you're not sure of which ice cream you should choose? You take SAMPLES!

I tried the Sweet Cream, Cake Carnival Batter Mix, Cinammon Bun and Peanut Butter.

Here's my review on each of them respectively.

Sweet Cream just tastes like normal vanilla ice cream with extra cream.

Cake Carnival Batter Mix tasted nothing as exotic and carnival as it sounds.

Cinammon Bun tastes like cinammon powder.

Peanut Butter tasted like.. purely peanut butter.

All in all, none of them caught my tongue, and none of them were special.

That pissed me off.

Out of frustration, I randomly chose the flavour 'Cheesecake' and it was made into 'Cheesecake Fantasy', ice cream with strawberries, blueberries and digestive crumbs.

The toppings made no difference, and the cheesecake ice cream sucked.

Nope, it doesn't taste as good as it looks.

Anyone whom knows me well enough should know that I'm an ice cream fanatic. I love ice cream. I'd literally salivate for damn good ice cream. Without ice cream, life would be all dull and grey, and the butterflies would lose their wings and the rainbow loses its colours. Well, these wouldn't happen, but you probably get what I mean.

That's why I'm particular about the ice cream that I eat. Cold Stone was so disappointing, it was stuck at the back of my mind for an hour after I ate it. I'm like,

"Oh my god, you're so overrated, your ice cream disappoints me, you're not allowed to be all over SG."

And I whine and whined and whined and whined.

I'm never eating Cold Stone Creamery again, and I definitely do not recommend it.

If you're going for good basic budget ice cream, I'd suggest either Daily Scoops or Island Creamery. They're my top favourite places of all time! They'll never disappoint you, guaranteed.

If you're going for good and exotic ice cream flavours, I then suggest Maggie Moos. I found them by accident on an random ice cream treat with my friend a month ago. And hell yes, they're good.

Well, that's all for today!

Derek's birthday is coming, I'm still cracking my brains on what to buy for him.

Currently on an AUDITIONSEA rampage with Hans, and he's treating me to Marble Slab, ICE CREAM. WEEEEEEEEEE.

Imma do a review of that after I've tried it.

Stay tuned guys!

Ice cream dreams.

Love,
Natalie Ishot

Learn to smile through all that shit, and trust me, things will always get better.

Hello earthlings, I'm finally blogging, again!

Well, two YCs have just ended, and it was a BLAST.

This post is for the Assist Team.

Hey guys! I had lots and lots and lots of fun during these 6 days. These bunch of kids, we've definitely changed their lives, and it's for the better. Nothing else makes me even happier than knowing that we've worked as a team, and achieved so much together.

Being in programmes, it's not just about leading a team individually and changing the participants' lives though. It's about working together with the rest of the assist team, and ensuring that everything runs smoothly. It's about caring for each other, and making sure that all of us are feeling well. It's about learning with every step we take, and improving for every mistake made. It's about telling each other truthfully about their weak points, in order for them to rise up to their fullest potential. It's also about appreciating the efforts we've made, and celebrating it as a team.

For every programme, not only do we change the participants' lives, but we also change ours too. Our comfort zone is forever expanding, and we grow even more matured. We'll always take back something from the programmes and apply it in life. We learn how to appreciate people more, and the team grows stronger as one.

All of you really touched my heart. From the sweat that trickles down our neck after every breath-taking dance session to the genuine smiles on your faces after every hug, you guys remind me of why I am in the team, for every single day.

It's the assist team that changed my life and inspired me, to become an assist. It's the assist team that made me truly moved on from my past, to become a happier person. It's the assist team, that allowed me to be myself, that showed me that they loved me for who I am.

It is us, the assist team, that's gonna do the same, to every participant that we have.

This is the reason of why I'm here. To be with you guys, to be an assist, to change people's lives.

I love being an assist. And I love the Assist team. You guys will forever be held dear in my heart. No matter what obstacles each of us face, we'll conquer it together, as one.

Cause that's what being a team is about.

Believe To Achieve, team. Don't be afraid of your dreams, for you're capable for Anything, as long as you believe.

Failure is never an option.

Love,
Natalie Lim
