Drama Queen

All of my friends know that I love watching dramas. However, it does not mean that I watch every drama that is broadcast. I'm also rather picky when it comes to watching dramas. In this entry, I gonna share the dramas I have watched so far since the start of 2014.

#Pigsters 1 2 3 4 6

I arranged a meet-up with Pigsters last Saturday night. It had been too long since we last met and the last time we met was during Emelia's 21st birthday celebration.

I do not remember why we were named as "Pigsters" but I do remember when we were formed. 

"Pigsters" were formed on 30 April 2009. 

All of us came from different classes; we girls, and the boys came from different stream. We girls were from Express and the boys were from Normal Academic stream. The actual fact was, we had known each other since we were in Secondary 1 and the boys were in Secondary 2. My girls and I were in the same class from Sec1 to 2, and later split up into different classes due to our subject combinations. However, we were still in very good relationship even until now. Grateful.

#ootd for Pigsters' date

From deciding to have steamboat at Bugis up till we ended having our dinner at Sembawang Shopping Centre's Astons Specialities. SSC was the most often place we had our meet-ups. I met up with Emelia first at Sembawang and we took the shuttle bus to SSC to meet the rest.

Three cheers for John because he treated us to mushroom soup (okay, he was forced to do so). We were too hungry to even bother taking photos before eating. We talked, we joked over dinner. 

Yes, we were wearing the same sunflowers shorts we bought from Factorie last week. It was so cute of us to be having and wearing the identical shorts. The guys did not realized we were wearing the same shorts until we asked them. John's reaction was the most epic. He was like, "We do not have grasses here to grow all the sunflowers." 

They took selfie using Emelia's phone when we asked them to take photo of the three of us. 

The things we did in the the toilet while waiting for Yeelian to be done.

Yay to sisters' shorts

Simply Chocolate with Waffles

We headed to Daily Scoop after dinner. The guys watched us while we were eating because they do not like sweet stuffs, oh well. 

While only Emelia and I were ready

I didn't know I had a cup cap on my head. Thanks Junwei.

It was a short yet heartwarming meet-up with my Pigs. It was such a pity that Jiaqi could not make it, there would always be next time. They were the group of friends I would not want to lose. 

Taiwan Trip - Mar 2014

Yes, I went on a second trip to Taiwan with Ed's family again. However, for that trip, we had engaged private car and driver because we had specifically some places which we were like to visit. We flew with SQ (omg I love SQ so much) as there was a promotion price.

I mentioned in the previous post that we had engaged a different driver from the March trip because the previous driver do not want to reduce the price any further, hence we settled for Mr. Lin.

We booked private tour car so that we can actually go to places we had yet to go before. Having a private tour car and driver will be easier for us to travel around, time will not be so scheduled like travel agency tours. It costed NT$40000 (~S$1750) for two-way airport transfer and 6 days' tour.

We have engaged our private tour and driver from Mr. 林佑昌. He is the contact person, the price he quoted was very fair. I went to Taiwan for a 6 days' tour in March, back then, we also engaged private tour. The reason why we did not engage the previous driver was because they ain't willing to lower the price, hence my Aunty introduced me Mr. Lin. If you're looking for a private tour driver, you can contact Mr. Lin at kenjouline@yahoo.com.tw.

Sorry for the lengthy post, I hope I will remember to take photos of all the places I will be going and accommodations I will be staying.

First

Hi blogger, I'm back after N years.

Year 2014 coming to an end in 21 days and I'm glad that I had experienced many FIRST TIME(s) this year.

1. I had my twenty-first birthday celebration at SAF Treehouse Villas @ Changi.
2. I went for a getaway on Star Cruise Virgo.
3. I finally had a photo taken with Aaron Yan.
4. Applied and booked a BTO flat with Ed.
5. Aaron Yan liked my Instagram photo.

I'll be blogging backwards for some major events of 2014, so do bear with it.

My life isn't perfect, but I'm thankful for everything I have.
