Fights

It's just so so tiring to always be in a heated argument. I guess once people get too comfortable with each other we tend to be more insensitive and not so careful with our words so the fights get more and more severe. Many times we think we've forgotten certain things but when a new problem arises, those things in the previous arguments get brought up again so we can "prove a point" and have more things to say to strengthen our argument. Even when the new problem has nothing to do with the previous one. So the fights will keep escalating and we start throwing hurtful words around. I want to stop doing that. I want to truly forgive and mean it. It's really REALLY hard cus I always wanna win and guilt trip the other party so I become the victim at the end of it. Manipulating. What a total monster I can become when I'm pissed. I don't like how I handle my fights and I need to start taking the blame and change. I don't realize all of that when I'm quarreling and it really took me a LONG time and many self reflections later to admit my faults. Have to be more patient and understanding or things will always remain this way.

I've been through this so many times in many relationships and this time it's really very different from the rest of the relationships I've ever been in because of my baby boy. I'm really trying to keep us together so he won't grow up in a broken family. I really do hope things get better because I do not want him growing up in a home where his has to witness his parents quarrel all the time. I've been through it myself and it sure is traumatizing for me. I will never want to put my son through the same thing I went through, ever. I need to constanly remind myself that. Some days I do self reflect and realize I'm still kinda immature at times which is why is we end up in a fight. If only I realized that before arguing so it won't even turn into a fight. I need learn to accept the fact I'm at fault at times because not everyone is going to always give in to me cus I'm a "princess" unlike in the past. That's just childish thinking. Also in this recent months, I have finally learnt to use the word "Sorry" without bothering about what "Pride" I have. I'm so annoyed with my mentality sometimes! I tend to say so much and not even give the other party a chance to express his opinions. Selfish is the word. I always want him to put himself in MY shoes but have I ever put myself in his shoes and understood things from his point of view? Everytime he does it I shoot him back cus of my think-I'm-always-right character. 

I hope I'll be able to grow the f up already and that things will get better once really do. Start giving in and not being the prideful girl I once was which made many relationships fail. 

I'm so tired of this emotional rollercoaster I put the both of us on.

What I Think: Miss SG Universe

When i saw this year's Miss Universe and saw Singapore's representative, i was really happy! Honestly, it's been awhile since i was really impressed with Miss Singapore Universe. I used to like following it but it just kept going downhill. Every year i'll be all like "uh, seriously why her ah?". But i never dared to say it out loud because then people would be like "if you think you're so good then you join lor!". Which i know i also cannot la, so i'm like really "say people say myself" haha. I really am not cut out for this sort of things, i just don't have the brains for it. So... i just kept comments to myself and not post 'em online but this year, I NEED TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THE PAGEANT. I love and respect girls who are smart and pretty because i'm not like that at all and oh how i wish i could be like them.

This year's representative for Singapore is Rathi Menon. She really changed EVERYTHING. Like i've sorta "gave up" rooting for Singapore when i watch the pageant but this girl has showed that she can compete on an International level and do our country proud.


(Correction)
She has won Miss Brilliance and Miss Personality in the Miss Singapore Universe pageant which is absolutely well deserved after seeing all the videos of her.

She didnt win the big title of Miss Universe but I feel she did well enough and it is something BIG for Singapore.

She's smart, pretty and whoa, that body.

And this year, i really liked our National Costume. Got the VS Vibe no? Haha.

Those who think it's really bad...

It's SOOOO much better than the past few years lor...




See what i mean? Now you know why i love this year's one so much?
More Fail National Costumes here

And i thought the evening gown was really pretty too. :)







A great year for Singapore indeed. #SG50 eh! Haha :)

She really set a very high standard for the next Singapore representative. Hopefully we have more girls who are as smart and pretty representing our country and Singapore will start broadcasting the Miss Singapore Universe pageant on Channel 5 again. I wonder if they stopped doing that because people stopped watching it?

Mikuni








Some food pictures because i had a good experience at Mikuni! It's been awhile since i stepped out of my comfort zone to try a new japanese restaurant in Singapore. I am always going back to the same ol' places namely, Tatsuya and Akashi (actually my ultimate favourite is Shinji but can't always eat there cus too expensive). I decided not to be boring and dine at Mikuni yesterday night after seeing the good reviews on HGW. 

It'll be great to go for the Dinner Set with Sake Pairing because that's what most people go there for din but i am still recovering from my surgery and alcohol is not advisable as i'm still on anti-biotics so i just had the other dinner set which was really not bad! Didn't finish everything because the boyf and i were having a very intense conversation and we decided to stop at the truffle beef bowl and left. A pity i didnt get to finish the whole set and end off with dessert :( but anyhow, food quality was good and service was impeccable. It still can't beat my 2 top fav jap restaurants but it's really not bad!

I look forward to trying the Teppanyaki soon after seeing that they have 3 live stations in the restaurant. Miss Teppanyaki much! Haven't had it in awhile.

Anyhooooows, this is prolly the worse food review post because it's damn half-f but like i said before, if it's not good, i wont even bother posting so it's gotta be good la! I'll usually take pictures during meal time and if it's not so impressive, i will delete the pictures after my meal and not dedicate a post for it so yeah. Please please let me be in a better mood the next time i'm there so i can do a proper post. Haha.

If you're looking for a change and want to try a new japanese restaurant,

I Woke Up Like This

 And these few days i'm like...

Because i'm still recoving from surgery. Hehe. 

I just changed my blood filled dressing. Was told not to do anything but the white portion of the plaster was all bloody and gross.

While changing it, "juice" oozed out like there's no tomorrow?! It JUST WONT STOP! Yucks. It's Sunday and the clinic is closed so all i can do is pray the juice will run out and stop oozing out already man. I dont have that many big plasters left (which i have left from my c-section, thankfully).

Anyway this health scare is a reminder to BUY YOUR HEALTH INSURANCE. Not an advertorial for insurance, don't worry. Haha but if someone wants me to do one, i'd gladly promote it because I AM SOOOOO FREAKING THANKFUL I BOUGHT MINE. I am lucky i have friends who are insurance agents and i bought it to "support" them, didn't expect myself to be claiming money and making use of it so fast. I am so happy i did so. I don't know how i can afford to pay my medical bills if not for health insurance. I had to pay $10k upfront for this recent surgery and should be able to claim it but like imagine if i didn't buy insurance? $10k fly away LIKE THAT. This isn't even like the WHOLE amount leh. It doesn't include the upcoming appointments etc. Imagine if i really kena cancer (choi choi but doc didnt rule that out), i will pay pay pay till my bank account is empty. At 23, I dont want an empty bank account due to health reasons man. So yes, BUY! BUY IT WHEN YOU'RE YOUNG.



Upcoming posts will be advertorials and more advertorials for online store. On Instagram too. But i'm trying my very best to take nicer pictures so hopefully it won't be boring la ok? AND WHY SO MANY ADS?

BECAUSE CNY IS AROUND THE CORNER.

And also because a girl can never have too many clothes. 

Looking forward to CNY because this CNY, i have my own apartment and maybe i can invite people over to bai nian hehe. ALSO BECAUSE WE HAVE A NEW MEMBER IN THE FAMILY, EVERYONE IS LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING MY BABY ELROY! Hehe.

Stuck in Bed


Did my operation, removed the huge growth and am glad I can finally turn my head to the right without difficulties. 

Dr sent the specimen to the lab to do tests so I think I'll only hear from them next week? Kinda scared. :( please pray it's nothing big. Also not looking forward to seeing the 4cm scar across my neck. Sigh.



Anyhows, I'll take this time to catch up on TV shows in bed. And spend more hours playing with Baby E! Although I was told to try to avoid close contact with my baby as my cough and runny nose is pretty bad. 

Oh and...one 4 months post-baby update, I AM DROPPING HAIR LIKE MAD. Seriously never thought I'd ever complain about bald spots but omg, it's getting worser and worser as days go by.


How do I stop my hair from falling?! :( I really didn't expect it to be so so bad and obvious in pictures. Everytime I run my fingers through my hair, at least10 strands would fall to the ground or get stucked between my fingers. New mummy woes.
