Someone once told me that human beings have three dimensions: how you see yourself, how others see you, and how you want others to see you. The closer the distance between the three dimensions, the more at peace you are and the more stable you become.

-Marwa Rakha (The Poison Tree)

渺小

最繁華的城市為何帶來最寂寞的北極熊 

最純潔的孩子如何走過最骯髒的垃圾場

最混亂的回憶永遠讓我想起最專注的一剎那 

最醜陋的世界偶然讓我看到最美麗的一首詩

原來最暗的天空總有最閃爍的星星 

為喚不回的 為做不到的 為還在活的我和你 

原來最大的懷疑總有最渺小的自己

向蝴蝶知更 向肉體靈魂 向芸芸眾生 

我該說感謝 還是對不起

最暴烈的流徙難道為了成就最温柔的小團圓 

最簡單的渴望從來不想證明最荒謬的大時代

原來最暗的天空總有最閃爍的星星 

為受過傷的 為犯過錯的 為還在活的我和你 

原來最大的懷疑總有最渺小的自己

向黄土灰塵 向肉體靈魂 向芸芸眾生 

我該說感謝 還是對不起

宇宙洪荒再沈默總有最閃爍的星星

某一天消失 某一天誕生 有一天寬恕我和你

原來最大的懷疑總有最渺小的自己

向恩怨愛恨 向肉體靈魂 向芸芸眾生 

我該說感謝 再說對不起

Throwback #3

Just had my 1st paper yesterday and i don't really know what to say about it. First half of the paper was so easy that i can't believe i spent so much time memorizing on that part. But the 2nd part of the paper was extremely hard that i kind of afraid that i can't pass this module T.T

Ok, i got really bored with the mugging so i decided to blog! Hehe! 

I still remember the days i met up with my friendsss before i came here, everyone was treating me like i'm gonna be away for 3 years, lol! Even my parents asked that why am i so busy meeting with everyone, after all it's just 4 months! Anyway, i meet up with my bff joanne, and the 2 lovely girls, zixuan and wanxi who i haven meet for ages! We knew each other since secondary school but i didn't get to meet zixuan and wanxi so often since we graduated. We decided to have our little catch up session at P.S.Cafe, Paragon as i was dying to try their truffle fries, hehe!

We took really long to decide what to order as everything seems appealing to us, lol! Pardon me for the bad quality of the picture, haha! We ordered P.S.Caesar salad, house bolognese and the truffle shoestring fries to share. The portion of the truffle fries was so BIGGG but it was so good that we just can't stop eating! Besides the truffle fries, i love their house bolognese too! It was really good! :)

We were busy updating each other and talk for really long until the cafe closed. Took so many pictures afterwards and we got a little bit crazy by the photo-taking app in my phone. We actually asked one of the staff there to help us take a group shot outside the cafe but apparently he failed at it! So i told the girls that we can take our own pictures using the app in my phone. It's something like a timer thingy that you can set the timing you like and get ready for the pictures! We tried so many ways to get a perfect shot like finding the places to put my phone, good lighting spot and etc, lol!

Ahhh..i miss the girls so much, can't wait to be back and see them again! :D

OK back to reality, back to study, 2 more papers!! FIGHTING!!!

#5 Why

You say that you love rain, but you open your umbrella when it rains.

You say that you love the sun, but you find a shadow spot when the sun shines.

You say that you love the wind, but you close your windows when wind blows.

This is why I am afraid, you say that you love me too.

-William Shakespeare

Ok, i chanced upon this chinese translation from weibo and i'm really amazed by it! Here it goes:

恋雨偏打伞，爱阳却遮凉。风来掩窗扉，叶公惊龙王。
片言只语短，相思谴倦长。郎君说爱我，不敢细思量。

I love aglio olio

The only reason I learn how to cook aglio olio is just because i miss Peperoni aglio olio too much after i came here. Aglio olio is the pasta that we ALWAYS eat for free when i worked there last time, it was so good that i dun think i will ever get sick by eating that most of the time :p 

Anyway, aglio olio is quite easy to cook actually. Found this recipe online which is pretty simple! All you need is the choice of your favorite pasta, garlic, olive oil, chilli flakes, parsley, salt and black pepper. You can always use fresh chilli and parsley but i seldom use these 2 ingredients in my cooking so i get the dried one instead and i thought it works pretty well too! This was my 3rd time cooking aglio olio here and I used penne this time coz im running out of spaghetti, haha! Personally think that aglio olio goes best with spaghetti :)

Added some sausage as i don't really like plain pasta :p

Love the recipe that i found online and the steps are super easy to follow. Saute the garlic and add in chilli flakes, add in butter cube after the garlic turns light golden brown. Don't ask me why, i'm just following exactly what the recipe tells me..haha! After that just add in the pasta and the toppings and stir until all the ingredients are coated evenly! Lastly, add in the parsley and season with salt and black pepper! SUPER EASY RIGHT!! :D

I think im cooking aglio olio almost every week here, omg! I guess i just love it too much :p

#4 Define love

If I could hold your heart I would keep it safe. Even when I trip and fall, and even when I break down, I would hold your heart close to mine, so it doesn't see the same damage. When I bruise my knees and scrape my palms you’ll never have to fear, and even if I cry, I promise, you won’t need to shed a tear. Love is everlasting. Loyalty is intertwined with faith. As long as you want me I will be here, standing with my palms out, waiting with my heart plain in my eyes, and a smile on my face.

Brunchhh

It's really good to have no alarm snoozing on a lazy saturday and i can just wake up anytime i like. Made myself a simple cheese, ham and egg sandwich for brunch. All you need is just bread, egg, cheese and ham! I always prefer wholemeal bread than white bread, i dunno why but i guess i just love the texture of the wholemeal bread, hehe! This is super easy to make and I love how the egg just fit perfectly in the hole, lol! i thought it looks pretty awesome! Just love the melting cheese <3

Have a great weekend ahead everyone! :)

Throwback #2

In case you are wondering why am I doing a throwback, read here! :p Today's throwback will be the b'day surprise back in 2011 that Afrans did for me when we were rushing our fyp that time. Maybe i should just talk about Afrans for a bit, lol! Afrans is our fyp team's name and it was formed by a letter from each of our names. A is for Anelie, f is for Fish, r is for Rongrong, a again is for Aisyah, n is for Nerissa and lastly s is for me, ShinPuay! :)

Initially i was not in their group but with pl and wj, but 3 ppl is just quite impossible to form a team as the workload is real heavy (no kidding). So, we got separated and join the other groups. I'm so grateful that they accepted me as their new member and tbh i was quite scared when i first joining their group. I barely know them except Aisyah as we were in the same class the previous year. I felt really awkward to be in the group and somehow they look really scary at the beginning especially Anelie, haha! I still remember the 1st thing she said to me was "what do you think you can do for our group?" That was during our 1st meeting. And i was like..errr...don't know what to say, lol! But somehow we managed to click very very well and i was really really glad that i did my fyp with this bunch of people. Our relationship become super close as we meet each other so often to do our fyp, and i actually got my 1st part time job in Peperoni thanks to Anelie! So, i think i'm like meeting Anelie almost everyday coz we work together in Peperoni, hahaha!

Anyway, these pics were taken in Nerissa's place when we were rushing for our fyp. I didn't expect them to celebrate for my b'day and i was so so so surprised when i saw them with the cake, lol! They actually discussed very long for the choice of cake as they can't decide which flavor to get for me. Obviously they did a wrong choice by buying a strawberry cake! HAHAHAHA!

Someone was trying to burn my hair with the lighter! Please ignore my silly bangs, lol! And i have no idea why am i laughing like an idiot - - 

Really thankful to have them as my group mates and i am pretty sure our relationship and teamwork is the best among the other groups, even the lecturers were surprised by the strong bond between us, lol! We had so much fun during the process of fyp and of course we did face many obstacles and having a hard time when the deadline is near. It was not easy but we have pulled through and come out with the pretty awesome work in the end. It was a really wonderful journey with all of them and i can't really express how grateful am i to be able to work with them! Perhaps I will do more throwback posts about Afrans in the future! :)

lastly, AFRANS FTW! :D
