Selfies

So I've been very very busy and stressed out. Currently, I'm rushing my Strategic Management assignment. Though its done in pairs, but the work load for this assignment is seriously overwhelming. Its like we are analyzing the entire company with just a few days left before its due. Okay, blame it on ourselves, for starting it late and right now, we are rushing it out like mad. There's major editing to be done too as we overshot the word limits by too much.

Enough of grumblings. I'm taking a break from it now. Here are some pictures (mostly selfies), from the past couple of weeks.

Heading to school on a rainy afternoon

Chill out at Wala with a guy who ordered cider for himself. Can he gets anything more serious than that?! But after he finishes his cider, he ordered himself a pint of kronenbourg blanc. Thats like so much better, cider to me is just apple juice. Major de-stress therapy needed after my assignment.

I can't wait to get my assignment done and be over with it. Monday, I'm counting down to that! By right, I should get everything done before Sunday, so yes, can't wait till Sunday. Need a breather from school. 2nd semester always passes so much faster than the 1st. And I have 1 more month of school left till my study break. Gawd!

Bakes

My mum finally got me an oven and here's are what I had made thus far. I prepared most of them for my friends to show they have been loved too! (haha, okay that's some insiders' joke) I like to bake when I'm free at home for others; my love ones and friends as my parents doesn't fancy baked stuffs. Plus, I don't like to eat the stuffs I made. Okay, I'm weird. I just love preparing food for them and I'm glad that they love it and appreciate my effort for that.

 My basic equipments for baking

 And here are some of the ingredients I used

My first bake

Red velvet cookies preparing to be bake

Choco cake (With flour, alright another insider's joke)

Fruit tarts

 Shepard's pie

Mac & Cheese

Breakfast on a rare day (I don't normally wake up that early): Cheese omlette on toasts with a handful of grapes

Carbonara

Pizza waiting to be bake. The last time I baked this was 3 years back, when I was teaching in Woodgrove. How time flies! Of course, this recipe is with modification.

Hawaiian pizza: Topped with blackforest ham, pineapples and loads of mozzarella, parmesan and cheddar cheese 

Brownies

Dust with some ugly symbols, I know

Delivery made, I must be too free (actually, not exactly, I'm fighting against time now!)

A close encounter to the... Hospital

Yesterday, I was out doing some personal grooming with Sok gin at Holland V. After which, we headed over to Daily scoop to have ice cream on brownie. Okay, it was only me who was eating as I had a craving. I could never ever resist vanilla ice-cream! It was 630pm then and I had yet to have my dinner as I was planning to head back home to have it. We decided to walk to Star Vista after the ice-cream as I want to get some items from a shop. I only walked half a bus stop worth of distance and I felt something was not right with my body. There was a discomfort at my abdominal area which I couldn't explain. Thus I asked to rest at the bus stop. And the pain got worst! I knew I needed a larger surface area for me to rest so I forced myself to head down to a voideck at a HDB just behind. I tried to sit down as per told by Sok Gin (she's a nurse). But the pain just got worst. I was aching so badly that I actually lied down flat on the bench. I was terribly in pain. It was so bad that Sok Gin wanted to call a cab for me to send me to my family doctor at Clementi as I couldn't even sit up straight. She even wanted to call an ambulance for me. But I declined. I'm strong-headed, I know. The pain level was 10/10, considering I have a high threshold of pain. No words could describe how bad the pain was. Sok Gin was lost, she tried conversing with me but I could utter no words with her. Finally, she persuaded me to get onto a cab to visit a clinic. She went to get a cab but was told by a cabbie the nearest clinic was just a street away. She came back to me and asked of me to force myself to walk there. I curled up my body and laid on my side. The pain seemed to ease and I gave her a signal to tell her to give me abit more time to rest. The sharp pain lasted for half an hour. I was feeling better after which. Not totally of no pain, but the pain level was reduced to a 2/10. 

I have no idea what's the cause to that. Initially, I thought I suffered from appendicitis, but according to Sok Gin, it doesn't prove to be likewise. Could it be the brownie ice-cream I was having? Or could there be something wrong with my health? It was the first occurrence thus I thought nothing of it. I popped in 2 panadols and turned in early last night. I didn't went to see a doctor as I felt a lot better today. Totally Well, No pain at all. I could even had headed to school today. Seriously, I had gotten myself up at 8am. But I didn't went to school in the end as it was raining so heavily in the morning! Haha. Couldn't imagine myself getting admitted into a hospital yesterday. Yucks! But well, the pain only lasted for half an hour. I counted myself lucky for that. Hopefully, there's no re-occurrence. Crossing my fingers hard.* But everything seems well now. Feeling blessed.
