Envious + Outing with Charmaine

Looking at my blog now..... It's so plain and uneventful? T___T whenever I look at other people's blogs, it's like so interesting to read. I want my blog to be like that too, but I can't? Because my life is really just one word - DULL. Haha. Other people have stuff to blog about everyday and they go out with their friends to shop and stuff..... I wanna do that too. I mean. Who doesn't? :'(

But anyway, let me just post some pics from my short outing with Charmaine yesterday ^^ We met @ 313 ~9pm? Super late. We wanted to have churros but they were sold out! >_< so we went to llao llao instead~ (on a side note, thank God we didn't get the churros cuz I just saw reviews on how lousy they are, just filled with oil and super not nice. OMG. I really should have tried them when I had my USS pass. Now it's expired and I haven't gotten a churro!? *sobs*

Okay, so llao llao! Not bad, I must say~ there's nothing special about the frozen yogurt, but I guess the topping is what differentiates it from other froyo stores? 

Both of us got "Sanum" as stated in their menu, and basically it's froyo with your choice of a sauce, a crunch (don't think too hard - basically it's something that adds crunch in your yogurt, like nuts or cereal bits~)  and 3 fruit toppings. All this for $6.90.

Mine's on the right! For the sauce, I chose "Raefella" (or something I forgot how to spell it) which is a white chocolate coconut sauce. Interesting right!!! :D the others are like, strawberry sauce and chocolate sauce which seemed all too normal~ and for the crunch, I got the Almond something (chopped almonds with sugar bits! Yum!). Just to add, there are other sorts of 'crunch' such as caramelized sunflower seeds, as well as muesli with chocolate pieces that look interesting too :) then fruits~ I shan't bother. Just the typical ones like kiwi, mango, strawberry, blueberry, etc.

But overall mine was quite a special mix - something out of the ordinary (esp with the almond thing and the exotic sauce). I really recommend it!

Then after that, I was looking for something savoury so we decided to eat cheeken!! (Who cares if it's 10pm already :P) and we got Popeyes cuz it was probably the only shop still open~ I ordered 3pcs but guess what, to my pleasant surprise there were 4 inside! HAHAHAHA CHEAP THRILLS!!

   Super good! I just LOVE cheeken <3

Okay so anyway, we had a lot of fun eating and laughing until about 11pm, then went home. Short but fun 2 hours! 

Also, it's 2am now. Shit!! Off to get some rest now, until next time!

THANK YOU MUM :)

Outing with Joanna and Yang Lin ^^

It's 4am now and idk why the heck I can't get to bed. Ok wait, the truth is I am sitting here now, doing differentiation questions FML. Anyway, this post has come a little late but I went for lunch/dinner with the two ladies mentioned above on 19 Mar. We went for ramen @ Ippudo. Mine was good!! Joanna said hers tasted normally and basically Yanglin's looked like lor mee LOLOLOL. Here's mine!! It was great, but I guess I'll go for the 'hard' noodle next time cuz 'medium' was still a bit soft for me~ loads of stuff inside. Bamboo shoot, half cooked egg, 2 kinds of pork, cabbage, and the red stuff there is miso paste, not chilli. Phew ^^

And so we sat there and chatted A LOT. At first it was a little difficult for me to open up, so I just listened to the two of them talk. But Joanna is really super high woman, laughing and talking non-stop ahhahaha so amazing XDDD while we were yakking away, the staff @ Ippudo literally SHOUT the welcome to their customers and they were extremely loud. By the time the 4th group of customers came, we were quite pissed because our "highly important convo" was getting quite disrupted and so we decided to leave~

We went over to 313 to look for Xing Hua to pick up Joanna's cards or something idk, and we also walked to a few shops to look at clothings and caps for 爱豆s ^^ but sadly we bought nothing in the end T___T

And after which, we were still not done talking and the two ladies were craving for cake so after thinking for so long, we went to Paris Baguette @ Wisma. It was quite funny cuz Yanglin works there already. And we spent another 10 minutes deciding on which 3 cakes to order for sharing, and also 2 drinks 

Cheescake with Strawberries. Not bad~

The white one is cream cheese cheesecake I think...? A mixture of sweet and salty, something different.

Idk what this one's called but I think it had a mango taste? Can't remember. 

Our drinks!! Mango Latte and Strawberry Banana~~ mine was the strawberry one but Joanna didn't like the milk taste so we swapped~ but I love Mango Latte so I was happy \^o^/ sorry it looks disgusting in the picture - already half a cup gone orz

So we just continued sitting at PB and talking and laughing and taking selfies until it was 10PM. Oh my gad. I didn't even realise!? Time sure flies when we're having fun T____T So yeah, that's how it went.

Tbh I never thought I'd be able to make any friends in the fandom. Since it's my personality that I'm very particular about who I wanna be friends with (I don't know why I'm like that either, but it might be accredited to my insecurities. I want to make sure that the people whom I consider my friends are genuine ones who won't hurt me, and they must be ones I can trust and open up to easily, which is quite a feat for Pisces.)

So yeah, I'm really thankful to have known them. In these 5-6 years of being SHINee's fan, it might shock others to hear that both of them are the only ones I feel I can trust. Like not only in SHINee terms but in anything, and they'll be friends I'll treasure for a very long time :)

Can't wait for our next outing in May - squid ink pasta!! That one's gonna be hella funny HAHAHAHAHAHA. Back to differentiation now~~ bye ^^

Guilty

Just finished my lunch of fried chicken. I called for delivery today - which is something I barely do because of the crazy after feeling I get each time. I kinda feel really guilty when the delivery guys send food over to my house. It's like, just them on a motorcycle delivering food all the way to my doorstep, and whizzing off for yet another delivery duty. I feel even worse when their attitude is good. Like the one I met today, he should totally be in the proper service line (like working at Universal Studios) instead of riding on a motorbike. This guy was full of smiles and very friendly too - totally made my day. On the contrary, those who are expected to provide good service can't live up to it. For example, the staff at USS. Quite a few of them give me the feeling that they can't wait to get off work. I'm not the only one who has noticed this. When my friends went on several separate occasions, they also mentioned the poor working attitude over there. And I think this really needs to change /rolls eyes. 

Anyway, the issue at hand here is: Do delivery guys deserve better? It's such a tough job for the amount of money they get for each delivery. And the risks are high too! Moreover, when it rains, oh my word I really C A N N O T bring myself to order delivery. The guilt might just take away my appetite and kill me. Many times, people don't appreciate the service these guys provide, and don't understand the amount of danger they are in. Do you have any idea how many of them get into accidents each year, just because they're delivering food to us? And instead of showing some concern and understanding, people are the best at complaining "WHY MY FOOD TAKE SO LONG?"

Really, nothing more to say but I do hope this post opens up perspectives for people to think a bit about the plight of these guys doing delivery service before they open their mouths to complain.
