An online safe haven.

((gifs not mine))

I don't have a November Favourites post cause throughout the entire month I hardly bought anything new, so I've got nothing to show yall :( And also, I've got no favourite stuff for this month.

But boy where did the month go?! It seems like it was the start of november just last week leh. Time flies damn fast man. Maybe cause I was so concentrated in school, lessons, work blah blah that the month just flew by like that.

I was hoping for november to fly pass fast anyway heh. Why, you may ask. Cause I CAN'T WAIT FOR DECEMBER!!


There's like so many things going on during december - my birthday, christmas, holidays and countdown!! Plus, december signifies the end of another year so everyone would probs be like "ok gonna make a resolution for 2016 and I'll make sure I'll stick to it" but then yall don't and so the cycle repeats for the next year. LOL, think I don't know right! Which is why I don't create resolutions cause I know I won't stick to it lmao.

Oh and yes, my birthday is this month! Hints hints LOL! But yeah, being a december baby means having to wait 11 months till you get to blow out candles, eat cakes and receive presents/ang pows. I remember in primary school I used to be so sad cause I always wanted to celebrate my birthday in school with my friends ((with goodie bags and cake)) but then I can't cause by the time december arrives, it's the holiday already and school closes.



But as I grew up I couldn't care less now lol. I know some girls go all out for their birthdays right? Especially for 16th birthdays cause its your "Sweet Sixteen" so must be very grand and pretty, then wear tiara somemore lol. I know some rich girls do that lmao. But for my 16th birthday, it was relatively simple, with just my family.

 I don't need like a huge grand party with like guests and party and tiaras lol and I don't like parties like this anyway. Find them too materialistic. LOL. I find that as I grew up, birthday celebration demands are lesser. Like when I was young, I always want like party and big cake lah. Now I don't really need parties anymore. As long as got cake for me to cut ((and eat)) and ang pows ((presents for small kids)) given can liao. LOL.

Oh, and since christmas is in december too, means I get to receive extra presents too!! I mean, though I don't receive presents for my birthday now lah ((cause grown up already)), but ya know what I mean.

Speaking of christmas, aren't yall excited?! Hehe, I've always love christmas! Also apart from all the presents and carols, it's the Lord's birth. I always look forward for church service on christmas cause there's always gonna be something fun planned like christmas drama and worship where it's mostly carols. Then christmas parties where there's logcake!



The entire family ((and I meant, ENTIRE kampung)) would gather around and play games and sing "happy birthday" to Jesus heh. Fun times. Oh and exchange presents too! I remember when all of us kids were younger we will always be running around wearing christmas hats with presents in our hands. I think it's still the same as we grew older, except no running around anymore. More like sitting around and instagramming or snapchatting stuff.

December also means winter and snow! Winter has always been my favourite season. Yall must be like "but britney, there's no snow here in singapore" yeah, precisely why winter's my favourite. I've always wanted to experience snow but obviously that will never happen here in Singapore. I mean winter season look so fun, I can totally imagine myself holding like a cup of hot chocolate walking down the streets in winter season enjoying the snow fall lol.



I didn't get to experience snow until in 2013 when I went to Seoul! It was in december, winter season and had experienced my first snowfall!! It was damn magical lol!! I mean like for someone who's living in a country that will never experience snowfall, must embrace it mah!

But I also have a love-hate relationship with winter lah, besides loving the snowfall, sometimes I hate the cold also. I remembered in Seoul it was like minus degree and so I had a nose bleed cause my nose was frozen lol. Too cold also not that enjoyable I guess.

Writing this while feeling a little drowsy because I took medicine :( Take care of yourself guys, it's like sick season recently, even my mom and brother is coughing sigh.

Shall end it here, off to roll around in bed while listening to Justin Bieber.. Have yall listened to his album Purpose yet?! IT'S AWESOME. Recently I've been so into his music, I'll leave that for another post ok? Hehe.

God Bless <3

I am very sure most of you would know the above movie! ((Or maybe at least those who live in Asia)) To be honest, I don't really want to blog about movies, but my pal Ole, suggested I blog about this since I was fangirling to her after watching it. 

So basically, Our Times is a Taiwan movie that was just released not too long ago. The moment it was released, everyone was talking about it. Like literally, every where in real life and on social media. I was like "what's the hype about man" 

Everyone around me was saying I should go watch it. Especially Ole, who don't usually watch movies cause I think she doesn't really like movies lol. However after watching it, she told me I have to go and watch it cause it's nice and awesome. Since she hardly compliment movies until like this, I was like "wah the movie confirm damn good lah." 

So I finally watched the movie and in the beginning I was like 

 But soon I became like this

And then at the end I was this

These gifs perfectly sum up my emotions throughout the movie. I prepared myself ((to cry)) cause people were telling me that they cried plus I very easily cry one lol. 

Our Times is set in the 90s era and where all the 20 something people could relate to in their life. It's about this girl, Lin Zhen Xin (林真心), a geeky messy girl who is super crazy over Andy Lau (刘德华) ((remember, in the 90s, Andy Lau damn handsome one hor)) who is infatuated with the basketball star, Ouyang Fei Fan (歐陽非凡). 

Then there's the bad boy whom everyone's scared of, Xu Tai Yu (徐太宇) who's interested in the school belle, Tao Min Min (陶敏敏). So just like a drama, Zhen Xin and Tai Yu teamed up to break Ouyang Fei Fan and Min Min up ((they were in a secret relationship)). But of course along the way, bam! Both of them fell in love!

The characters:
((some spoilers ahead! If you haven't watch it and don't want spoilers just skip this))
I feel like every girl who watched Our Times would be like 

I mean, the romance in the movie is just damn cute!! I think cause in the 90s, love, dating and relationships were so much simpler then. There was no social network, no netflix, no tinder etc. So people paktor is either go out and skate, picnic, movie and other non technological stuff. Which in my opinion, dating should be like that. Not always being on your phone and instagraming stuff blah blah ((ya yall would be like "next time you will also do that with your boyfriend" next time than talk ok))

And call me old fashion, but I think love letters are cute. Like seriously, if I receive love "whatsapp messages", it's kinda boring and like not so sincere leh. People think love letters are damn old fashion now but really, it shows your sincerity alot. Idk about some girls lah, but I'd prefer love letters heh 

I literally cried at the part when Tai Yu and Zhen Xin was on the rooftop. It's like she was happy he gave her an Andy Lau standee for her birthday and she wanted him to write his personal information in her diary. ((In those times, giving personal information was a sign that that person wants to be close with you)) But then Min Min appeared and it was revealed that Min Min had confessed to him. 

Poor Zhen Xin was like 


When she started crying ((she turned her back on him and cried in the rain)), I cried with her too. She cried cause she thought she had no chance with Tai Yu anymore since Tai Yu liked Min Min remember? But obviously, she don't know that Tai Yu also like her lah. Cause he thinks she like Ouyang. ((Drama right?!))

And then it was all good until I CRIED AGAIN ASDFHKL. At the scene when Tai Yu went overseas without saying goodbye and left Zhen Xin a cassette tape of his "love confession". Which was SO FREAKING ROMANTIC

But cause Zhen Xin was crying so I cried wtf

And then fast forward to present day where we have a grown up Zhen Xin still crazy over Andy Lau and still can't get tickets to his concert. So when she met Andy Lau on the streets and after telling him she couldn't get a ticket, he wrote a number down for her to call. I was of course waiting for grown up Tai Yu to appear, cause they will have to meet right?!

When she made the call and she turned around I was like OMG OMG THIS IS IT


BAM! Grown ups Zhen Xin and Tai Yu met! So Tai Yu became a staff of Andy Lau's concert and named it after Zhen Xin! LIKE ISN'T THIS THE MOST ROMANTIC THING A GUY COULD DO FOR A GIRL?! LIKE ORGANISE AND NAME HER FAVOURITE SUPERSTAR'S CONCERT AFTER HER?! 


Then the both of them were like “好久不见” AND I WAS SMILING AND CRYING OK LIKE LITERALLY. Zhen Xin had tears in her eyes ((OBVIOUSLY CAUSE SHE FINALLY SEE HER HIGH SCHOOL LOVE AFTER LIKE MORE THAN 10 YEARS?!))

((end of spoiler))

I swear, this movie gave me lots of feels. Oh, not to mention, the awesome main ost sung by S.H.E's Hebe called 《小幸运》. 




This is so not gonna leave my head for a while. 

I have a few of my favourite quotes from the movie, 
about life: 只有我们自己才可以决定自己的样子 
(We are the only ones who are able to decide who we want to be)

about love; 喜欢上一个人,是会不知不觉的  
(When liking someone, we do it unconsciously)

There were many awesome quotes too, you can see them here! But these 2 are my personal favourite. 

So in conclusion, this is a really really nice movie and now I'm having post movie feels. 

Off to find a Xu Tai Yu for my life! ((or wait for a XTY to enter my life))

God Bless <3

Hey yall! So recently I've been quite addicted to a few apps on my phone and so I thought I would love to share them here on the blog. Plus it's also an excuse to write something here so it wouldn't be so dead.

I actually talked about the apps on my phone on when I did a "What's on/in my phone" video which you could find in a few posts back but this post is a more detailed version heh. 


I am sure all of you know what app this is right? I started using this recently and I love it! I use a lot to find ideas for nails, makeup and hair! 

This is my Pinterest profile lol. 

Under my profile, I actually created a board that says "life". So basically everything that I've came across on my Pinterest feed which I find it useful for my life, I just pin it. Its mostly beauty and quotes stuff. 

This is what my Pinterest feed looks like. See, its mostly beauty stuff lol. 

Next! The famous app for online shopping! I've also recently started using carousell and am still a noob at it lol. I downloaded to the app initially to find a textbook online but then I got so interested in the other stuff that people were selling like clothes. So now when I'm bored I'll just scroll through heh


So nice right!!

Another app that is similar to carousell is Shopee SG!! Tbh, I kinda like this app more than Carousell. I loveeee the makeup that they have!! It's like damn cheap lor!!

Just like any other shopping app, there's variety of stuff for you to shop. Yes, there's food too lol

I'm always on the makeup corner! :D

And sometimes the clothing corner too!! Lots of them are so cheap!! :D

The next app is called BeautiMe! It's an app where beauty lovers are able to share tips about beauty products! It's basically like a community for makeup lovers! :D I'm assuming 90% of the users are female lol

So when you first sign up, you will be asked a few questions about your interest on makeup

They will ask you to pick your favorite makeup brands 

Ask about your skin tone, skin, hair etc

They will also ask about how much are you interested in skin care, makeup, hair, nails etc

So this is my profile!! As you can see from the top left corner, there's like points! I think the more beauty reviews you do, you'll be able to get points! The more points you get, you'll be able to redeem stuff!! ((Ya, 1 follower only lol but that's not the main point!!))

How my feed looks like!

So I'll be able to discover beauty products from brands that I love

BeautiBuzz allows you to watch beauty videos from YouTubers to learn more about makeup

This section is where you are able to start a topic if you have questions or tips to share with fellow users.

So these apps are what got me addicted recently lol. Of course this aren't the only apps on my phone, I have a lot more, but then it'd be too long! 

Maybe next time I'll do a part 2? :D

Off to roll around! See yall! :)

God Bless <3

Last time I blogged here on Blogger was ages ago. Back then it was like an online diary, before smartphones came about. I spend a lot of time here blogging about my day and life!

Just last year I decided to continue blogging, but I didn't stay at Blogger. I moved to Wordpress! But just after a year of settling down at Wordpress, I felt weird. I mean Blogger was the first site where I started blogging so I kinda miss it.

So recently I started planning to move back to Blogger, moving all my posts from Wordpress to here. Painstakingly moved my posts and pictures is no easy task man lol. But it's good to be home LOL.

Of course, moving back here means saying bye bye to my pals at Wordpress. But I suppose me and this blog can kind of "start afresh" here at Blogger. Plus one of the reasons why I chose to come back to Blogger its because I am able to upload unlimited photos. Over at Wordpress, the plan I used is "free" which means I can't access every features unless I pay for it. Photos that could be uploaded are limited too.

Well, anyway, I spend quite some time re designing this whole blog theme. Gotta find more ways to make it more pretty!

Off to roll around in bed! See ya soon!

God Bless <3

I feel like its been so long since I last update.. though it has only been like 2 weeks? Anyway, the month of November is here! And boy it's passing by very quickly though. Typing this out cause I went to see a doctor for my throat infection and so I didn't go to school today.
I don't want to make it seem like this blog is dead which is why I am writing this now. So school has been hectic, as usual and so I find less time to write here. If I have classes till 7pm, I could't find any energy to write here cause I'd be feeling sleepy and tired after a full 10 hours at school. If I have classes till 1pm though, it'd be a lot easier. Well thank God my thursdays are usually quite relaxing since I've only one class on that day.
Anyway because of my throat infection now, I can't eat any fried food. :( I feel like eating ice cream, oreos and chips now omg. But I can't touch any of these. *cries*  I'm just filling my body with lots of water now cause I am assuming my throat infection was probably caused by heaty-ness.
I can't wait for term break tbh which is in like 5 weeks. But then it means that mid sems are like in 4 weeks omg. I better start studying now sigh.
But I really can't wait for december, it's like so many things going on - me and le best friend's birthday and christmas! I would say december is my favorite month! Oh and december would means just 3 months to Seoul! Excitinggg!
I guess for now school is priority, just 4 months left for this sem and I'd be done! Well, technically a long break before school starts again in end April 16!
Oh and I'm being frustrated with my phone now cause my battery can't last long in school so I have to bring a heavy portable charger with me from now on ugh. And it keeps heating up so fast even when I use it for a while ugh. >:(
Okay, I should stop here. Don't wanna bore you guys with my lazy stories.
I'll see yall soon! :)
God Bless <3
