if you

hello everyone!!!!!

It's been a good few weeks of rest, now that I'm not working, weekdays are no different from weekends haha. 

I went to get my nails done at Bugis today, and in total doing my hands and feet cost me $36 in total... which I think is not a bad deal since I got gel nails, but some of my friends don't think it's worth it. Oh well, to each their own haha. I got a dark navy blue with a hint of shimmer and gold and silver specks as a topper. Overall I would say I'm pretty happy with it, although it looks kinda of chunky and thick maybe due to the glitter. OH and when the woman first started painting my nails, the polish looked like a purple instead of a navy blue (it kinda still does at the edges now) and I kinda panicked and almost wanted to ask her to change to another colour, but she insisted that it was the right one that I chose initially. But luckily it turned out to be the right colour after a few coats. Crisis averted :) 

I specially left my nails long since I was going for a manicure, but the woman doing my nails trimmed them and went on to scold me for having short nails after she was done painting. okay then. 

So yessss that's what I got done. I hope it looks alright, I'm awful at taking photos of my nails but I tried my best already hahaha. For my toes I just got a Slytherin green. Yay. I guess I would say that the service at that place is really brief and no frills. It's good if you want a quick mani pedi with the colours/ designs already in mind, because they work really fast. They charge a lot extra if you want designs though, I had to add on an extra $12 just for adding glitter to my hands. Overall I would go back to the place only because it's one of the cheapest that I know of, and not for the quality of the service (what you pay for is what you get I guess haha)

Oh I went to eat Korean BBQ buffet today too! It was pretty good, the beef was amazingly marinated and so mouth watering ugh but I don't think we ate a lot, it's pretty hard to judge but I think we ate about 2 plates of meat at most. Quite pathetic hahaha but there were a lot of good side dishes as well, such as japchae (glass noodles), sweet potato, dukkboki (spicy rice cake) etc. The kimchi pancake wasn't that appetising since it was quite stale though.

My HSS camp starts on Monday and I'm pretty nervous about it. I hope the people there are nice. I got the packing list on Tuesday, which stated that we had to bring along a swim suit among other things ugh. I'm hoping everything will go fine since I don't really like to expose my shoulders. We also had to get a gift for the opposite sex of a value less than $10, so I just got a Starbucks gift card today (wonderful suggestion made by my friend) so I'm pretty relieved to get that out of the way. Other than that, I don't have much to do other than pack (which actually is quite a lot to do, since I have to finish by Sunday night latest). If you read this, please pray that everything goes well!!! I have such high expectations for this camp and I really don't want to be let down :( Furthermore, I don't know anyone else who's going for this camp so I'm pretty anxious about it.

I'll keep you updated :)

❤️always,

gotta talk to you

Hello everyone!!!! I hope you've been well, it's been a week since I last updated but not much has happened.

Now that I'm officially unemployed again, my days pass by so fast in a blur of laziness, which I can't exactly say is bad ;) I went to cut and dye my hair too, something which I've been wanting to do for a long time since my roots were beginning to show. I caught Jurassic World in 3D as well, and did you know that Shaw doesn't loan out 3D glasses anymore? You have to buy your own for $2 a pair. I guess it's worth it though, since you only have to buy it once and it's a lot more hygienic. But we basically got them for free though since students get a $2 discount on tickets.

On to the movie itself: it was so awful! (read: amazingly cool but so intensely scary). There were some primary school ish boys in the same row, and I'm ashamed to say that they weren't scared at all whereas I was clutching at my friend's hand for dear life. But the adults behind me screamed at some scenes, so I guess I didn't do too badly.

UM if you're not scared of this badass popping out of your screen randomly while roaring like hell then idk man. Not to mention the crunching and screaming whenever someone gets eaten

But overall, it was good. For the effects and the animation (i don't think this is the right word to use here but) but the overall plot was just a huge "this is not a good idea" and "hoe don't do it" right from the beginning. But I enjoyed it nevertheless.

On a more serious note, I stumbled across an old friend's blog the past week, and I found some old posts that were made right when we were going through a rough patch. I guess naturally we all tend to tell the story from our point of view, and that can be really inaccurate sometimes. But I got all annoyed at the way she described things and- I won't go into detail. It was almost a year ago, and I've moved on. But the whole time I was reading her blog I just

So yeah. 

Oh I got called up by my fac camp group leader today!!!!! It was hilarious bc I was actually pranked (like all the other members in my group, as I soon found out). The call started out with the caller (a guy) introducing himself to be from NUS psych, and asking if he could do a survey on me, and that I had a chance of winning a $30 shopping voucher. So I agreed, and his first question was: What kind of trait do you look for in a partner? I was caught pretty off guard by that and to be honest, I couldn't think of ANY trait. And it didn't help that I was browsing through pics of GD atm. So after much hemming and hawing I finally answered honesty, and a sense of humour. 

The second question was as follows: How high would you rate looks and attractiveness in a guy? From a scale of 1-10. I answered honestly like 6-7, which is a pretty safe answer I feel? Idk man as long as the guy appeals to my standards, I'm good. And it's pretty hard to rate whether someone has high or low standards, but I've been told that my taste in guys are not that good.

Third q: If you found out that your boyfriend has a small dick, would you dump him? To which I said no, since I have to look at him as a whole person and not just judge based on his size or whatever. Ugh I was seriously stuttering so bad here bc the qns were getting so inappropriate and I considered hanging up. And finally, the last q: Would you want a bf with a long dick or a thick dick?

Omg dealbreaker. Obviously I wasn't about to choose between the two, since the politically correct answer would be "I don't choose my bf based on dick size." And that's just what I said since at that point in time I obviously knew this wasn't a real survey and it was some kind of prank. Then I was congratulated for passing the test and that I was offered a place in the HSS camp.

Wow talk about speechless. I mean I knew it was a prank of sorts, but I didn't expect it to be from my group leaders hahaha. So I was given some pretty basic details about my grouping and stuff which I don't really remember haha but I do remember that my camp group is called Gaia!!!!! I was asked to send an unglam selfie of myself, which I did ugh I hope I didn't scare anyone off, and I was added to a chat group with all my group members.

Which cues my earlier anxieties that developed over the past two years. I have a fear of talking in group chats with people I don't really know (long story) mainly bc I'm scared of being ganged up on or ignored. But recently I'm trying to live by this logic: It's only awkward if you make it so. So I'm gonna try my best not to make things awkward, 'cause it's almost always in my imagination. 

Yup that pretty much sums up my week. I have my health checkup at NTU tomorrow, so I'll let you guys know how that goes as well. Hope you all have a fantastic week ahead!!! (no monday blues for me finally ;))

❤️ always,

Hazel
