Westerner to North-easterner

Moving 

Tonight will be my first time I'm sleeping in my "new" house. Not really my new house because I'll just be staying here till my real new house ready. This house is really pretty because, well, it's my aunt's house after all and I'm really grateful that she let us stay here. The only problem I have with this place is, it's far away from fooood.

First time walking casually in this North-eastern part of Singapore, first time walking from my "new" house to get food. What am I, a westerner, doing here in this foreign land.

Wanted to get hawker food, but once I stepped inside Nex, forget it, I'm going to get lost, or worse, hungry. So I went to the basement trying to find safe food and Taadahh! Back with QQ rice. I shall enjoy this house and act atas while I can. But I guess no atas person eats QQ rice and drinks from a disposable cup, ah wells...

First night in this house and I already experienced something embarrassing. I tapped on this door multiple times and it won't open, people inside were staring at me, decided it wasn't going to open and went back from another gate. I later found out that that was a total different different area from mine.Whoops!

Converting from apple to samsung.

My Samsung Galaxy S6

Taken using my old iphone 4S. LOL. Will I get sued for this? Well it's not my fault, the 4S doesn't want to connect to my S6's hotspot, so I have to choice but to do this, Heh. 

Have been wanting a new phone since last year, Mom said she'll buy me a new phone for last year's birthday present and I initially wanted a Mi4 but it took forever to reach Singapore. But when I went to the M1 store and saw this S6, I'm in love.

Dad surprised me with this phone and on top of that, went through a lot of trouble for my this S6, I'm very grateful for him. I'm a very happy and fortunate daughter. The camera is so clear that it shows how dirty my mirror is. Whoops. 

Things I love about my new phone

1) USER FRIENDLY 

No syncing with itunes! Never really understood how syncing works, and a few times, my brother overwrites my mom's phone with his info while syncing her phone, complicated. This is easy! I want music, drag in, I dont want music, delete!

2) REMOTE CONTROL 

This Peel Smart Remote app allows me to sync my phone to the TV and use it as a remote! Call me sua ku but I had so much fun with it! And the app also shows all the TV program showing at the time and allows you to set alarms to watch your selected shows. Technology is amazing! I remember my Uncle using a pager, my dad using a black and white phone and now this! 

3) THEMES

 The first thing I did when I got my phone, after syncing my contacts, is to change my theme ! FEELS SO GOOD to do that. I remember spending hours as a young teenager searching for my perfect theme to fit my Sony Ericsson ( OMG, Those were so in that time). Now I can do that with my Samsung once again!

And of cause, my favourite feature.

4) SELFIE CAMERA

(iphone 4s vs. samsung s6)

Call me vain but SELFIES are important, so having a good selfie camera is the first thing I look for in a phone. This is why I immediately fell in love with this phone. I don't know what is it, but this phone does magic to your face! I know I'm not that good looking but this phone definitely makes me feel so much better :P 

  ( Iphone 6 plus vs. Samsung S6) 

One can argue that it's not fair to compare an older version with a newer one soooo... This is a picture taken at the same place and same arm's length away. But then again, they say iphone 7 is coming soon, so maybe they make a breakthrough, I dont know. But for now, S6 is definitely hands down better! I love my phone so much right now! There are other amazing features I like, like measuring heart rate (once again, technology advancements are crazy fast). And super fast charging and relatively long battery life (but this might be unfair because my 4s has a faulty battery that require charging every 2-3 hours). 

  

Things I dont like. 

1) No Itunes Store 

My friends laughed at me when I asked where's the itunes store of android. But I liked how convenient it was to get a whole album, I would really like PitchPerfect2's album right now, have yet figured out how to do that. 

That's all, nothing else bothers me. HEHE, I'm not going to say I am never going back to Apple, but this phone, this phone is my happiness right now.

Your yacht ?

Sleepyface is still asleep. He looks so good in my NP hoodie. And as usual, he sets an alarm clock early, at 8am, but doesn't (ever) wake up after the alarm. He had his last paper yesterday and was so upset about this 7 marks that he threw away, apparently he was right but he strike it off and wrote something else. Urgh! That feel! So he was grumpy the whole of yesterday, hopefully he has forgotten all about when he wake up later and can go enjoy himself with his friends. 

Last night, we went to Pepperlunch for dinner as he badly needed some comfort food. I ordered Saba fish and salmon WITHOUT rice. Dearie was going on about him wanting to change course... or him wasting his time... And how is he able to beat other when he was defeated by his own mistakes... So drama one him. But at one point he said that maybe he should settle for third class honours and he looked up at me, frowned, and said, "but your yacht how?"

Awwwwww! He remembered me saying I want a yacht <333 And was upset partly because he was worried that he wouldn't be able to get a good job and get me a yacht! Awwwww. Hehe and he paid for dinner! Best boyfriend ever. 

I will make him breakfast later, best boyfriend ever!  

Discipline not?

Ate half a packet of oats and was still hungry. Only had oranges at home and I don't think I should be adding more acid into my stomach, apples should  be a better choice. I was going to Fajar anyways to top-up my ez-link card, Macdonalds was just there tempting me, plus my stomach was growling so I HAD to get something.

But Macdonalds' apple slices taste really good ! I don't so what they add to it but it's always crispy/crunchy. Yummy yumz, only 30kcals, i checked.

I'm on a diet!

(MY Weight)

As the title suggests, I am on a diet! 

I can almost hear Arrick say "again??", but here's the thing that he doesn't get. I like to weigh around 48-ish, so whenever I hit the 49-group, I tell him I'm dieting so I won't be (too) fat. 

But it's different this time, I really want to be 42kg, so I AM VERY SERIOUS THIS TIME! I am so serious I downloaded AN APP to keep track. In fact, I started on 28th of April weighing 48.8kg and this morning I'm already 48.0kg, few days ago I actually was 47.8 (Whee ~ 47 family!). But I'm taking things really slow, aiming for 45kg first, giving myself two months to lose just 3kg. Already 1 down! 2 to go! 

I've been doing well with my diet the past few days! I usually eat 2 half boiled eggs for breakfast. Then for lunch, I let myself eat anything, today I ate 5 pieces of sushi. And half a packet of oats for dinner (sometimes with a cup of soya milk) HEALTHY RIGHT ? 

I also bought this (EXPENSIVE) healthy snacks ! Only 50+ kcals per bag! But they cost me $2 per bag of 14g. Argghhh expensiveeee. Nevermind. No pain no gain. 

Organic hair serum

My conditioner ran out my aunt gave me this Phyto one months ago. Decided to try it and it had a milky scent. A hairdressser once told me that your hair needs protein and not oil, thus, only milk products are good.  This condition, unlike others that instructs you to wait, was suppose to be applied and washed off IMMEDIATELY and it doesn't make your hair feel smooth like other conditioners, BUT thing is !! I googled and found out that this costs $53 for this small little tube. WHATTTT. I don't know what's it doing to my hair but if it is THIS expensive it must be doing something right ? I kind of like it though, my hair feels softer everytime after it dries. My very first atas conditioner, Thanks DaYi!

Because my hair is so dry, I needed some leave on conditioner or hair serum to help with repair the other 23.8 hours when I'm not shampooing my hair. Went to Guardian yesterday and looked through the shelves. Trying to read the ingredients as if I really know each and everyone of them, but I don't, I just tried to avoid those chemicals that I know is bad. I really wanted something to have milk, but the only one with milk had lauryl sulfate -.- Like com'on, the whole world knows that's not good for hair and they put it in hair serum. Some were just too expensive and I wanted to settle for one $5 one but it has PEG. I was already queuing to pay for that when I saw this on one of the racks.

Botaneco Garden Organic Argan and Virgin Olive Oil! Both good for hair! And best thing is it only cost $6.90. Immediately tried it on my hair and wow, I immediately could comb through my usually tangled hair. I'm so impressed! Spent my whole day spamming it. I put some on whenever I feel that there's no more product on my hair. It needed serious nourishing. Applied it before I go to bed and woke up with very very very smooth hair, it actually feels healthy, especially from the root to midlength. The end that were most damaged still felt dry though, but I can comb through without getting stuck midway which is still an improvement from its usual. I'm not sure if its smooth only because its oils, but I'm loving it so far. The best thing must be, it doesn't weigh down my hair or makes it look clumpy. Really hope this continues to work magic. Or at least grow my hair out really fast so I can cut the dry bottom away.
