Guestbook For My 21st Birthday Party

I went over to Aunty Jen's yesterday night because she has graciously offered to let me use her scrapbook materials for my 21st birthday party's guestbook!

Omg, I swear her scrapbook materials bought and collected over the years can open at least 2 branches of Paper Market.

This is not even a quarter of all her materials.

And with the help of Aunty Jen and my mum, after 4 hours we completed my guestbook.

Sneak peak.

I think it's freaking beautiful. The materials I've used for the entire guestbook is definitely more than $500. The papers were not repeated, the fonts were not repeated, the decors - colours, glitter, materials and stickers ohmygod.

So on that day itself, I'll be taking Polaroids and sticking all over the guestbook with allocated spots for my guest to write. Each guest has their name attached under alphabetical orders, how detailed right? I know, I know.

Stay tuned to my upcoming 21st birthday post to see the complete guestbook with pictures and signage!

Once again, a big thank you to Aunty Jen. She's such a wonderful lady, we're so blessed.

High School Never Ends

I thought long and hard about what I should or shouldn't post but a conversation with a friend today got me all worked up.

I don't know where to start from so here's the thing, I've come to know that many people are reading my blog - supporters and haters. Other than the fact that the number of views have been soaring like nobody's business, people are also asking me for help from other social media platforms because they read my guides that I've posted.

What I intended to do with this blog was just to post about my daily life and guides because I always look for answers from the net and sometimes even google fails me. So if I've got knowledge about something and people are referring to my posts for help (evidently, if I may add), what has that got anything to do with my haters?

Exactly my question for years, ever since high school. If you don't like me, or rather hate me (so as to say), what are you doing here or anywhere else reading about my life? You're spending precious time that you'll never get back on somebody you don't like? Enlighten me please.

I'm glad I'm not going to die and rot like an insignificant person since so many people know about me even though it's not vice versa. I just never understood why some people are such extremist y'know, those haters who will do anything just to watch you fall.

Look, I get it. We're not engineered to please everyone and certain things other people do gets on my nerves too. (But then again, a Miss Universe or a pageant queen can be standing in front of a crowd and somebody will still say she's ugly. Humanity itself is ugly. Jealousy is ugly.)

There are some people I honestly dislike, but I won't go degrading them like they don't have feelings, on my blog. Even though I always have a valid reason to why I don't like someone. It is most probably that they did me wrong, treated me like shit and half the time I don't even deserve their unkindness. But ask yourself, have I ever done you any wrong?

Just because they do nasty things to me, it doesn't mean I'll do it back to them. It makes me seem like a better person (at least) as compared to them and god knows how long it'll take for them to grow up. So, I don't get how I can mature about disliking someone (I know, the irony right) but my haters cannot be a cool hater. You wanna be hatin' on me? Can. But at least step out of your room door and put that keyboard down, warrior.

But the best part is that if someday I'll go confront my haters (I know who you are, watch out for Lego bricks haha) what they don't like about me, they might have to go into solitude for a week to question themselves. If you don't know me and you say shit about me that ain't true (quote: you know my name but not my story, cliché but true). It's like, not knowing how to pronounce Hermés therefore will not physically step into the shop to even check if you can afford a Birkin bag.

I have no idea where that analogy came from but you get my drift. You might just like me after spending time with the real me. Haha okay I can't control it but haters be like 'she comparing herself to a birkin?' LOLOLOL. Yeah suck it.

You can hate me for my guts, but maybe I'm your inner voice you never dared to admit. I stand up for what I believe in, and if you (still) don't like me but you agree with my points, thank you. But the biggest thank you goes to all my supporters! GO TEAM SARAH! :) 

Oh I chanced upon something apt on twitter:

And there you have it. My deepest thoughts with regards to why high school never ends, even though I'm in university right now. Hah!

On a side note:

Where are all my readers coming from?? Omg haha 3,062 page views in less than month of blogging! Thank you thank you thank you!

Lost// Saturdate, 25th Jan 2014 // Sunday, 26th Jan 2014

I lost 3 friends in a month.

:(

I lost 2 kg in two weeks too. (I can finally squeeze into my dress that I bought last year for my upcoming 21st birthday party. I shall post on how I lost weight soon!)

:)

I lost my centre parting also. Hahaha

Ohwell.

Hehe went out with YK to settle CNY stuffs.

We walked a lot and quarreled a lot too. So much for festive occasion uh.. If you're reading this baby, you're such a pain in my ass I swear. You always do things (on purpose) that you know will spark my bitch-mode-on, and then expect me not to have my bitch-mode-on. How you tell me? Why you so like that uh. -.-

But when I see your handsome face, how to be angry for long.. (Sarah's weak point really.. Why am I calling myself as if I'm a third party view? Lol)

Slut face.

Text who text until so happy? Confirm other girls. TSK ;(

Guilty face hahaha!

Ahhh so cute!! *melts*

Ps: All these photos were snapshots from a video. I found a way to take pictures of him because he has this awkward-fidgety-camera-'shy'-syndrome. Then all my photos of him would be blur, so just take video only.

HANDSOME RIGHT? GIRLS, BACK OFF! HE IS MINE.

<3

(The following post was updated at 6.20am.)

He just kicked me off the bed at like 5am, took over the entire bed and blanket and and pillow and and and was talking in his sleep. So now I'm on the floor with the Rikkakuma bolster. -.-

Guess what? He woke up at 6.45am! Yay to sleeping back on the bed. :)

Damn good durian soft serve at Ang Moh Kio. It's just $3 and it's really worth it.

YK joined my family for 收工 dinner (Uncle Ray's office' annual feast before CNY) @ Serrangoon Country Club today. Our first time spending Lunar New Year together and I'm pretty psyched up about it. So many things have happened recently.. I really love him a lot plus both our families have pretty much accepted us as a couple, I just hope we can get through whatever that is holding us back right now.

8 months isn't a short sprint neither has it been a long marathon either. I can still run a triathlon, are you able to catch up with me?

Thank you for your support!

AHHHH :)

2000++ views in less than 1 month, thank YOU for reading!

I'll be pretty busy this coming month though. With the upcoming Chinese New Year, my 21st Birthday Party, my actual Birthday Celebration, Valentines Day, Preliminaries, and the list goes on forever..

Ican'tevenbreatheomgsavemesomebodyanybody.

Barefaced, no eyebrows. Braces ending soon, 8 months only. K byebye.

Just Ranting

What's with guys and their issues with make up.

I just don't get it.

They say they like girls with little or preferably no make up but when you look at the girls that they can't take their eyes off and you just go like WUT? *roll eyes*

And conversations will always go like this:

(B for Boys, G for Girls and M for me, in short)

B: Wah that girl damn chio (pretty) sia.

G: Where got, okay only lah.

B: You jealous you not as chio right.

G: No, wahlao you got see her make up thick like what not.

B: Really meh?

G: Ya I show you her photo without make up, look like shit really. Even we prettier can.

M: YAAAA EXACTLY

And when I put make up for special occasions or even those not-so-special occasions, conversations will go like this:

(B for Guy Friends and M for Me, in short)

B: Eh you think if I slap your face, the PSI value will increase or not?

B: You testing the effectiveness of Kleenex uh?

M: K *talk to my hand*

And when I don't put make up at all, conversations will forever go like this:

(B for Guy Friends and M for Me, in short)

B: Sarah you okay or not, why you look so pale?

B: EH YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE DYING.

M: WTF THANKS UH.

SEEEEE! Every single time. Ugh.

If you know me..

You'd know I put my family first, friends second, and myself third.

You'd know I give free-size loving hugs to almost everyone.

You'd know I give good advice, never going to sweeten things or lie.

You'd know I've got lots haters but even more lovers.

You'd know that my insecurities are written all over my face and I tend to cry quite a bit.

You'd know I'm nothing but just a nice girl, that actually I only mean well.

You'd know I'm really fun to be with and sometimes funny. (I laugh at my own jokes a lot)

You'd know I'm trustworthy and you can always count on me.

If you don't know me.. I'm just annoying, bitchy, crazy, loud and everything you are jealous about.

Ps: You can jolly well click the red 'x' at the top right corner if you belong in my haters category :)

Fly high, cloud nine.

I'm on the bus now heading to YK's place from Changi Airport Terminal 1. Sometime next year it will be my turn soon, to London maybe? I'd be lying if I told you I can wait.

But this year, my dear Shu Ting is flying to Birmingham for 4 months. She's going to be missing everybody's 21st birthday, including her own.

Stupid bitch, made me cry when she said Happy Birthday to me. I will really miss her a lot! :(

The last time Brandon, Shu Ting and I were at the airport was for our very own graduation trip. Just 6 months ago and so many things have changed since then.

Have a safe flight my dear. Enjoy yourself and study hard! Xoxo.

"Worst Things In Life, Comes Free To Us"

You can work towards achieving what you want, but don't have.

You could count your blessings when you have, what you want.

Eg. Career advancement

You need to thank God that you don't have, what you don't want.

You must seek God even when you have, what you don't want.

Eg. Cancer diagnosis

Just a late-night train of thoughts, I guess. My dad has been diagnosed with stomach cancer some two months ago,  and I don't know how I should feel about it due to the complexity of well.. the entire situation. (LONG STORY)

The fact is that life IS short and nobody is going to make it out alive. Everyone is a dying person, so I'm beyond grateful that I'm alive and kicking, and I still get to love and laugh like there is no tomorrow. I'm not going to be going all YOLO on you guys, but we really need to learn to live each day as if it's our last.

Like what my mum always says, "If you are diagnosed with cancer, you may not even die from cancer. Nobody knows what is gonna happen next."

Wise words for me right there.

Goodnight fellow earthlings x

On a side note, boomchikawowwow I didn't know that I've got readers all over the world. And no, I've got no intention of becoming famous.. I just blog about everyday-relevant things. It is just so freaking amazing to have more than 1000 page views (currently) in less than 2 weeks! Thank you for all your support! :)

Jon's and Brandon's 21st Birthday Parties

It was a really long day I swear. Sooo many people had their 21st birthday party planned on that very day.

I went for 2 of my friend's 21st - Jonathan's and Brandon's respectively.

Jon's 21st @ Home Team NS Bukit Batok

Theme: Hunger Games

I met Michelle first and omg I swear I almost died while walking to the venue because I was in heels and it was raining and and the pavement to the chalet was like hell made up of a lot rocks and and and I was in so much fucking pain I wanted to cry. Lol

I WAS GLAM. Then my curls were gone, my make up was smudged and my Chanel bag was wet. *BLONDE MODE ON*

I painted my nails 10mins before I left home, haha not bad eh. But main point is that we were all given personalized cards to write birthday wishes for Jon and oh oh we all had districts assigned to us. (I'm from district 3! Hehe.)

Selfie time! And because I had to leave early for Brandon's, I rushed for the photo booth first!

Okay I know I know, I'm damn red, like a walking Chinese New Year Ang Bao (red packet). But hey, I was dressed to the theme uh! Like the Hunger Game's Capitol's fashion, the colour of the dress must match the colour of the lipstick right.. Then Adelind said like I look like I'm about to commit suicide and drag everyone down with me. WUT :(

Jocelyn came just in time before I left. Finally, our-almost-full attendance.

From the left: Me, Adelind, Jon, Jocelyn and Michelle. Jasmine is missing from the photo because she's celebrating Seth's 21st on the same day too. (I swear the props were damn cool, if you look closely, I'm actually carrying a bag full of feather-arrows!)

His birthday cake is so awesome, now I can't wait for mine!

What Jocelyn, Michelle and I gave Jon for his 21st birthday present:

I chose the Versace fragrance and it's damn bloody nice by the way.

Next: Brandon's 21st @ Marina Bay Sands Shoppes' Au Chocolat

I don't have a full group shot but here's what I ate for dinner:

I was super late but everybody was duper uper nice to wait for me! Thank you; Brandon (for the treat), Yi Ying, Li Yang, Shu Ting, Hilda, Sherman and of course Yong Kiat for waiting! :)

Early in the morning the army boys had their passing out parade which I missed! So I bought them pretty congratulatory flowers and their girlfriends would obviously be the ones holding it!

Sherman sent Hilda to Butter, so in the meantime:

From the left: Yong Kiat, Me, Brandon, Yi Ying, Li Yang and Shu Ting.

Finally, pictures of Triple Date! I know many of you have been asking me what is Triangle.

Okay basically Triangle consists of Brandon, Shu Ting and I. It's a bit freaky and it started when we went for our grad trip together. Brandon and Shu Ting were classmates, then Brandon and I were classmates, and then Shu Ting and I were classmates. That makes 3 years of studying in Singapore poly.

We were 3 singles who didn't have faith in love for a period of time. During grad trip, we went clubbing and Shu Ting met Li Yang (and his friends were also on a grad trip). Omg apparently both their brother's were like best friends but they only knew each other after making out in club. HAHAHA. Oops.

Then when we came back from grad trip, Sherman invited Brandon and I with the usuals (Hilda, Jocelyn, Yong Kiat etc) over for dinner. Background info: Jocelyn and Brandon are my bestfriends, one fine day they met each other in a club and were talking until they realised I'm their mutual friend. "You know Sarah?" "Sarah Faith Yong?" "OMG you are The Jocelyn?" "OMG you are The Brandon?" HAHA. And it so happens that Brandon's bestfriend had to be the cutest guy I've ever met. Yes I admit okay okay, I asked YK out first. *digs a hole*

And the actual graduation day came along and we had an after graduation party at Zouk/ Phuture. That was when Brandon met Yi Ying (It was her first time clubbing and like if I remember correctly it was love at first sight? Apparently.)

So Triangle got attached (almost) at the same time. We were 3 braces girlfriends (coincidentally from the same dentist) with 3 army boyfriends and Triangle's other halves all have the letter 'Y' in their names. As freaky as in sounds if the letter 'Y' was to be broken up into strokes, it is a shape of a triangle itself. Cool or what. Triangle really went through a lot of shit together, I must say.

Okay back to Saturday night, Li Yang and Shu Ting left first cause he was really tired from the whole 24km march and long day thingy. The 4 of us head down to Bar on 5, Mandarin Orchard Singapore to meet Sherman.

What Shu Ting, Li Yang and I gave Brandon for his 21st birthday present:

I hope he likes what I chose because honestly that shirt was the best thing they had in A&F that week.

I rather end the post now because the rest of the night was nothing but painful bullshit that I really would like to just.. leave it as it is.
