A quick update; Enjoying the Simplest things in life

Hello my dear!

Yummmy, just finished a delicious dinner with my family, now currently writing this post on the dining table with a pretty view of the garden. Don't you just love the simplest things in life?

Recently, I've been working quite a lot and also socialising with friends quite a lot too, not getting pissed drunk but going out for cute little dinner dates! Aiyaah, I've been spending too much ££ on food la! Haha, owell, everything was so yummy and I made sure it was on my 'cheat day' too. Is it bad that I didn't even feel bad when I was eating all the yummy cheat food? My tastebuds were on FIRE! haha. 

Even a little burst of sunshine calls for Froyo! I love mine with fresh fruit and nuts, how do you like yours?

Feast feast feast! Yo sushi, yum cha, Frankie & Bennys. JENG

I just realised how random and ill set out this post is. Sorry guys, bear with me! >_<

Below is a collage of everything that is non related that has happened to my life this week:

L-R: I went for a brisk little walk after dinner one night because I was so full and because the weather was still so gorgeous. Cheeky selca!;; My Where's Wally fanatic friend found her bf on a mask;; I felt arty farty on Sunday and made a butterfly postcard, I suck at art, *sob sob;; I was legit in head to toe adidas, quite cringe right?! It wasn't deliberate...I swear 

Oh and something quite fun happened to me a few days ago, I was asked by the manager if I was interested in working in Hollister. LIFE MADE. Jokes jokes. Ok, I won't lie, I did like it a little bit, since I am known to be so 'uncool' it was quite cool. Haha, not too sure if I'm going to go ahead and do it, group interviews sound a little intimidating and it might mean I will have to work 7 days a week plus my office job. I really am broke just now though! *sob sob. Is it legal to work 7 days?! Hmm I'm going to have a little think. Most likely to chicken out. Hehe 

Hope you are well my lovely! <3 Have a fab week! 

Afternoon tea for ET's 21st

Good Afternoon Sunshine!

Yesterday was such a fun packed day. I was out celebrating ET's 21st birthday! In the morning, I went to my favourite Les Mills Body Attack class, then headed for Afternoon Tea with the girls! It was my first ever time having Afternoon Tea, and woaah, it was so lovely.

A dream for anybody with a sweet tooth, unlimited green tea and cake. Fab fab. <3 Those scones were definitely my fave!

After having lunch, we headed to play golf...with a stimulator. In the two hours, we were allowed to play 16 holes. We didn't even get past 3 holes...yeah we sucked. =_= Haha, I swear ET was going to break the club. She missed the ball like 7 times and ended up each time just whacking the floor. Literally was in stitches. Excusable of course since she was the birthday girl. ^_~

When we finished hitting the floors in golf, we headed home and got ready for the night! I went for a monochrome look. I braved wearing a crop top for the first time! Eeep. Probably not the best idea after all those scones but #yolo. Haha. 

Crop top from River Island, Skirt and Necklace from Topshop. Lipstick is Mac Red. 

I only went out to the bar for around two and a half hours. I'm trying to temporarily stay away from alcohol just to save some money and to detox my body before Greece! It's always nice seeing everyone dolled up and to catch up with those who you haven't seen in a while. 

Birthday gal

Thanks to the gorgeous birthday girlie ET for a very enjoyable day and night! Hope you had lots of fun and didn't suffer too much this morning. ;) hehehe. Lots of love!

I have a New River Island Bag and a Tanned Face

Good evening beautiful!

Have you had a nice weekend so far?

This week has been super sunny up here in Scotland. So rare! I went for a brisk 5km run with my brother on Thursday and when I came back, I noticed my face had tanned so much. I look like I'm from the Philippines! I LOVE it. <3 Yays for tanned skin!

I popped (haha I accidentally wrote pooped ><) into town today just to get a few bits and bobs. I told myself to stay well clear from all the clothes shops because I knew that I would be tempted to buy some of the gorgeous new Summer clothes. I'm trying to save some £££ before Greece so I didn't want to go  shopping quite just yet, especially since my first pay cheque hasn't even arrived! This positive mindset failed. I ended up in River Island. I told myself 5 minutes max. Boy who was I going to kid? I spent like half an hour there?! Aand ended up buying a £40 bag. No student discount. But I guess I will use it so much that it will be worth every single penny!......(I keep telling myself)

In all seriousness, this bag is so much nicer in real life! I've wanted a black, casual bag with a shoulder strap for a long long time now and FINALLY I've got it! I especially love the studs lining the side of the bag. The size is marvellous too, big enough to carry all your everyday essentials! I can't wait to start using it.

Random food photo of the day: 

My father on the left trying to test my determination for my 'eating clean' life just now. I didn't eat any and opted for a juicy fruit salad instead, on the right. Yeah, even I'm shocked myself. That bor lor bao...... >< 

Hope you're having a relaxing, chilled out weekend lovelies! I'm heading out tonight to celebrate my friend Elaine's 21st! Yay, hope you guys will have a blast whatever you get up to!

End of Exams, Beginning of Summer YEAH!

YES!! After what seems like a month of absolute grimness, I have finally been set free! Exams are over, roll on Summer 2013!

My exams have finished quite early compared to most of my friends so I've decided to just come home first and earn some kerching kerching £££ before heading to Greece at the end of the month. I'm doing some receptionist work at a small company just now! Not too exciting or requiring much brain power, but at least it's stopping me from going crazy buying all the lovely pretty Summer clothes! I love Summer so much. You can wear so much more. (or less...loool) I've got to get properly serious with this S line soon. EEEeek, 3 weeks till I leave! >< 

The first thing I did when I finished with my exams was sik one jeng jeng fan with some friends who had also finished! It's pretty sad because many of them are graduating this year which means I may not see them for quite a while! Booo, wishing them all the best in their futures! Most of them are looking to get a 'proper' job now in the big bad world! So frightening, that'll be me in 2 years time!! 

Yummy! I hadn't had rice in a week because we ran out in the flat and didn't want to buy if we knew we would all be returning home soon. Delish.

Here are a few random snaps from the week ^^

L-R: Green tea frappe & Green tea latte, HUGE sweet potato, cute little spray paint I saw, I stole Mama's Ralph Lauren shirt >_<, pretty daffodils, and my flatmate made Portuguese egg tarts *_*

I had a lovely little luncheon with my flatmate AK before we both headed back to our home homes. I chose a tomato and basil soup for starter and a cheesy tagliatelle pasta for main. Only £9.80 for two courses. Totally within student budget! Yeah!

Mama showed me this photo recently too. This is her and her big bro when they were younger. Mama is on the left, she looks like a boy. haha. I really love my Uncle's mischievous smile. He looks so similar to my brother here, it's uncanny!

I did something I thought I would never do this week too....After my exams...I ran 13Kms!! I can't believe I managed to do it, sure it I took a whooping 1hr 35 mins, but I didn't stop so maybe a little credit for that?! ^^ My friend did the route in 1hr. Sor low. Cray cray right?  I did it Tuesday morning, the hottest day so far this year. My nose got a nice little toasting. Haha. Hopefully many more to come! High five for reaching new highs this year! ^^

I got a haircut today too!! Yay, finally. I actually wanted to get it cut weeks ago but my silly friend told me that if you cut your hair during the exams, you'll do badly as you are 'cutting away what you have learnt.' WTH?! Anyway, the idea was planted in my head and boom, I just waited till it was all over! I didn't get too much cut off, only a trim. It feels much healthier and lighter, perfecto! <3 

The hairdresser went a bit too wild with the straighteners though! >< Does anyone else get this too?!

Hope you are well beautiful! If you can, go enjoy the wonderful weather! ^^ Go for a relaxing walk or for a delicious fruit smoothie! Even better, a whippie by the beach :D 

See you soon! 

Andrew's 17th Birthday

Hihi Pretty!

Last night I went home just for the night to sik fan with the fam in celebration of my little 'didi's' birthday! He turned 17~ woaaah, he can officially learn to drive now. Keep beware drivers! ;)

It was, as always, so nice to be back home and eat lots of yummy food. Mama's homemade soup is always the most delicious! I had an exam in the morning, so I was just so excited to fully relax in the evening! Only one more exam to go, then Summer. WOooopee. Especially with the increasingly good weather, I just want to play outside all day or have picnics with friends! Can't wait to do this! 

Travelling home ^^

Dinner~ Yummmm, I LOVE roast duck. Anyone else with me?!?

Andrew with his ice cream cake. It was composed of Hokey Pokey ice cream. Delish! 

My cousins recently got a puppy recently too! So exciting! Meet lucky, she's an extremely mischievous, cheeky little labradoodle. Look at her big puppy eyes! NAaaawwwwh  

Here's a random little FOTD and OOTD. I haven't done a OOTD for aaaages! (Mainly because I really don't think I am very trendy. hahaha. Especially recently during the exam period, I've been dressing more for comfort more than anything! Haha) Shirt and scarf from Camden Market, t-shirt from F21, shorts from Topshop. Shoes from Office. <3

Hope you're well lovelies! ^^ 

Healthy and Delicious Food Ideas

Hello Beautiful!

So as you know, it's currently exam season in the UK for both the senior school students and for us Uni students too! Eeeek. I find eating healthily allows me to have maximum energy levels and also it makes me feel more fresh and perky too! 

Here are a few meals I've enjoyed recently~

From L-R:

• Chicken Stir Fry with a small touch of oyster sauce and a roasted sweet potato
• Chicken and Sweetcorn Congee~ So soothing for the tummy!
• Japanese style egg omelette~ Here I mixed two eggs with a small touch of flour and a teaspoon of milk just for that fluffy texture. Within the omelette were spring onions, sweetcorn, peas and spinach. I put a slice of smoked salmon in between the salmon and a slice of seaweed too. 
• My favourite Summer dessert~ A berry nice little fruit salad, packed full of goodness!

My mum bought these gorgeous strawberries from Costco. How juicy do they look?!

I eat healthy because healthy is sexy ^_~

What's your favourite healthy meal? <3 

Healthy Dish Ideas

Hello beautiful! How are you doing? 

So as you know, recently I've been trying to eat more healthily in a bid to get my ultimate sexy bod before Summer. *sigh. Surprisingly, it's been much more fun than I thought it would be! I've been trying different vegetables, fruits and some health foods I can't even pronounce. Even Mama was surprised when I told her I recently starting eating things like celery. I used to try and hid all my celery in a napkin at home when I was younger.... T_T During this exam period, I think preparing food is the most fun part of life for me. Pahaha. Nom nom nom. 

Ok from L-R:

1. Quinoa with broccoli, chicken breast and peas. 

2. Roasted sweet potato, chicken breast and sweetcorn

3. I LOVE BANANAS!

4. Cottage pie with sweet potato mash on the top: The main part of the pie contains carrots, celery, sweetcorn and peas. 

5. Warm chicken salad with sweetcorn, peas, Chinese lettuce and spinach

6. Cod marinated in a teaspoon of soy sauce, garlic, ginger and spring onion. Salad contains broccoli, spinach, sweetcorn, peas and Chinese mushroom. 

The best part of these dishes were that they took no time at all to whip up. #win! 

What is your favourite healthy dish?

Revision blues

Oooh, also some fun news to share! My cousin 'Ah San' and I have signed up for our first run! EEk. We are going to do the 5km 'Race for Life.' Quite nervous, we're just hoping to be able to run it all without stopping. I really recommend watching the 'Race for Life' Youtube clip. It's extremely touching. 

Hope you're well lovely!
