Progress

Wow. April is ending in 2 days time. And it's going to be 5 months into 2013. Can I just say how fast this year is going? Like.... I'm going to be 17 soon!

Anyways, past few days, I haven't been eating clean (unfortunately) , and it doesn't help when your sister is a fan of unhealthy, oily foods. But this week, I'm going to eat less, but when I eat, it has to be clean, filling and healthy. Like, I feel kinda bloated and crummy on the inside right now . Sigh. Why the heck does unhealthiness taste so good?!

Hopefully this week there will be some light on my enrolment progress. If CLC doesn't accept me, then it's either Preston Girls' Secondary or Melbourne Girls' College. (I'm hoping for the latter)

I've been passing time by watching heaps of animes. I am assuming that many people are face palming at this. I don't know what it is, but watching anime just helps me relieve some stress. It takes me to a different world, much like reading books, and makes me laugh, cry or get frustrated at the same time. (Tumblr vocab: Feels) I should really be studying but I don't know where to start? I'm assuming I'll be okay when I do actually start school. I am determined. I need to work hard to regain all my unused brain cells (is that even right?)

My ambition still includes being a doctor.... but I do have some doubts. Like I am interested in the traveling or marine biology field... but I do want to help people. I do want to make a difference. But I somehow feel the pressure. Will I be able to make it to and through med school? Will I be the best in that department? Am I okay with the fact that someone will be willing to entrust their life to my hands?

It's kinda scary. BUT. I will not know if I don't try. I need to take risks in life. Or else it would be boring, no?

Nowhere but up from here.

Alot of things have been happening. Mostly good things. My dad's business is getting better and WE PAID MY NEGS DEBT!!!!!!!! You have no idea how much relief I am feeling. It's been almost a year since I've been to school. So now I'm in contact with Catholic Ladies College to organise enrolment so I can start school as soon as possible. Now it's just paying my sister's fees which will be done next week :3

I've been loving my job since I have a very laidback boss who makes me tea and gives me snacks ! She told me she relies on my a lot with the piling work, and I sort of feel...honoured. Because someone needs me. Plus pay is good, and I am able to support myself in someways and pay some bills.

Yesterday, I was in good spirits. It was a majorly pampering day. I met with my sister at Prahran and we had cheap but yummy chinese food (The Shanghai Dumpling House). You can sort of tell some stuff were microwaved, but it WAS cheap and the taste wasn't that bad either, I mean I loved the Shanghai fried rice with pork and vegetables! The red bean buns were great too!

So after seeing the time and predicting that we were going to be late for our hair appointment if we don't hurry, I scoffed my fried rice down (Lord) and packed some dumplings and we headed to the tram stop.

Volume Hair in Windsor is wonderful. Wonderful service from the people in there, and they give really good advice in maintaining your hair. My sister used her groupon voucher whilst I did the Wash and Cut. The end result was fantastic. All my straight bits from previously rebonding were all cut off and my hair felt so much lighter and healthier. The lady styled my curls with some product and all the surrounding hair stylists complimented my hair! xD In short, I am LOVING my hair. My sister's hair turned out great too, she did some blond/brown foiling and cut some bangs.

After waiting for her to be done (almost 2h after I was done -.- But it's okay I was watching Julie and Julia on my iphone) , we coincidentally walked past San Churro so we couldn't resist. So fresh churros and decadent hot chocolate followed.

Okay so I was pudgy by the end of the day, and I freaking died after walking past Ben and Jerry's after San Churro. ;_;

But besides that, we had some grim news. My grandma from my Dad's side was in hospital! She couldn't breathe properly, and doctors said she could have a heart attack anytime soon. But now she's doing okay. Thank God.

Sigh I'm genuinely not looking forward to the 23rd. Because it's house inspection and they have found out about of forbidden cat! There's going to be lecturing I can tell, since we are younger. -.0

I think it's time I did some blogilates! This girl has been kicking my butt and giving me abs! :D

Life is all about change.

Does that sound too philosophical? Had a major fight with my sister last night. I think it's the fact that there's only 2 of us in this house and it's easy to get into one. This morning I tried talking to her and she didn't reply so this how it's going to be for awhile.

I realised... we're 2 very different people. I don't think we know alot about each other at all. I spent nearly 4 years away from Singapore, and that's a very long time. She keeps saying how I try to be a "neutral" person but I'm not, apparently. Isn't being neutral how people should be? That's what I'm trying to be. I don't want to judge people, though it's very common in human nature. I'm not perfect, but I'm striving to be better. You can't shoot people down to what they once were when they're trying to get up on their feet.

Anyways, change. That's what I strive for. To be better. I know I can be very unfriendly and judging at times, but that's my defence mechanism. I don't want to get hurt, as you know how emotional I can be. My favourite virtual trainer, Miss Cassey Ho (aka blogilates) , once said that how we react to a situation, determines our happiness. We choose how we feel. I've been subtly stressed for a long time. I keep hoping for it to change soon, but you know sometimes you just want it to be your own way. How everything is supposed to be. I need to live more positively. This is, after all, my only life that I can life.

I'm off to do some blogilates, gotta keep up with the calendar you know!
