Come back again
I am extremely exhausted from studying. I’ve never studied so much in my life before, I am not even kidding.. All these headaches, pimples, weight gain problems are bugging me so much because of the stress that I am feeling. I am nothing but just really tired from studying day after day since last Saturday.. I’ll be over tmr, before noon and I cannot be anymore excited. But for now, I am getting these headaches and urge to indulge with food.
I’ll blog again, please come back tomorrow night or something!

“Circumstances create a man”
As usual, I’ve wasted my holidays and weekends away merely because I am lazy haha. Here are some photos and updates….
My friend gave me some cool and kick ass stickers and I’ve pasted some on my laptop and at the back of my iphone (refers to instagram picture). Stay Real is a taiwan and tokyo fashion by a Mayday band member and I really want a coke tee cause it’s real cute but I dont think any stores in Singapore actually carries them.. 😦
Stylenanda’s lipgloss that I’ve ordered from WJ and it’s really really really pretty!!! I am super impress and happy cause it gives my lips a great outline and it feels very mosturized instead of sticky and gross! For sure I will buy more of them in future and I hope YL RX and WQ will like them as much as I do too 🙂
I took a brisk walk earlier on (and got a huge blister), from my house to the back of kovan and then to serangoon and head home. I walked past our house-to-be and decided to took a photo of it for my dad to see the progress. It is in between on Kovan and Serangoon and surrounded by restaurants serving different cuisines and a bar is located just at the doorstep. I am excited! hehe
Dad got me one lavender lotion for me to sleep better because recently he has been obsessed with aromatherapy. He splurg on the ceramic diffuser, lotions, body wish and even got a variety of essence oil for different moods (hahaha)

I’ve stumbled upon a chinese talk show called Money Week and I actually stayed up to watch it (most of the time I only watch TLC haha)! The main reason why I watched t is because the episode is about breads (I LOVE all kind of breads) and secondly because they interviewed the founder of Bread Talk-George Quek, about his road to success. What I’ve take away from the interview with George Quek was that there will always be failures on the way but it is the failures that you learn from. I am really impressed by him! I mean, lets be honest, very few Singapore brands have made their way overseas and Mr Quek not just made it overseas, but also, he managed to attract people from different culture and countries to enjoy chinese cuisine(din tai fung) and just bread. This feeling and amazement is so hard to be expressed in words… but all in all, I am really impressed and I’ll definitely learn from him!
If you are interested to watch the interview, the video is on Money Week’s facebook page! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=559746834085958
I hope it will inspire you like how it did to me 🙂 and have a good Sunday ahead! 🙂

I tried cooking Aglio Olio and I have no idea why it turned out orange. HAHAHAHAHHAHA maybe I added an extra ingrediant which I dont know of? hmm.
Yupp, my Air Jordans 4 came last night with my Style Nanda shoes! I wanna thank WJ for bringing them in for me and his dad for giving me such a good deal! 🙂 I am really happy with it!
Today is Grace’s birthday!! I am happy for her , this girlfriend of mine has been sticking around me for 13 years and look, she is 18 (you can guess how young we were when we met)!! Enjoy your night, girl hehe I’ll ask you out reallll soon ❤ Love you!
Pretty Polaroid film and polaroid from her 🙂
Went to watch “Wolverine” with RX on Monday. It was a not bad movie but it didn’t take my breath away like Red 2(watch it last friday). Red 2 is a combination of action and humour and I LIKE IT!! I really like the movie especially all the characters and the action scenes. The storyline is witty and every part of the movie is full of plot twists (most movies only have them at the end).
The Style Nanda shoes that WJ brought in to Singapore for me and I got it at a discounted price of 20+SGD. Thank you so much!!! I was really happy and excited to fetch him from the airport yesterday night hahahha! I dont even have to pay the shipping fee.
Dug them out cause they look real cool with my new Air Jordans! hehe 😛 I used to think they look Ah lian-ish but not anymore!
I am sorry for constantly flashing photos of it but oh my gosh!!! I am still excited to receive this baby!!! I paid for them myself ok……….please dont jump into conclusions….
Tuesday night- dinner with Chiew WanQi and Donald 🙂 I had 4 mutton satays hahaha and they are the most well presented satay I have ever seen in my life! It is served in this japanese try with the above displays and the taste (of both satay and sauce) is absolutely good as well 🙂
I think here are the few updates and regarding the ask.fm questions, haha i’ll just laugh it off as long as my conscious are clear! Have a good rest all you peeps and study hard 😛

Easiest and healthiest Salmon burger
Just simply put the marinated salmon in a pan to fry then assemble it onto a whole meal bread and pile on some lettuce, tomato and purple onion and voila, you’re done! 🙂
Easiest and tastiest way to marinating a Salmon!
This is probably my favorite way to marinate my salmon. As you know, I love love love Salmon, and is a sucker for black pepper therefore I came up with this super hassle free salmon marinating recipe!
It is quick, simple, cheap, yummy and also super healthy!
Black Pepper Lemon Salmon
You will need:
-deboned salmon without skin
-lemon juice
-black pepper
-soy sauce
(the amount is really up to you)
Instructions:
Step 1: Make cuts into the salmon but dont cut it fully (as seen from picture 2)
Step 2: Pile on the ingrediants as much as you wish and remember to rub it into the cuts.
Step 3: Repeat it to both sides.
Step 4: Wrap it with a clig wrap and leave it in the refrigerator more than 4 hours (overnight will be the best).
This is probably the easiest for a tasty salmon receipe!
It is so quick and clean, no hassle and you can just spend approximately 5 minutes to marinate before you sleep. The next morning when you wake up, just pop the salmon into a pan and hear it sizzle. So healthy, full of natural oil and fats, you dont even need to add oil into the pan and yet every bite of the meat is full of flavor!
Hope this helps and you’ll try it out 🙂
