Of hellos and goodbyes

Internship has finally come to an end, with mixed and lingering feelings.

As much as I was counting down to my last day of internship, I know I'll miss my fellow interns in the days to come. It was a good 11 weeks of friendship and bonding. The friendships forged, the exchange of perspectives across universities and all the fun times we shared, have certainly contributed greatly to making my internship a memorable one.

For now, it's a short two weeks before school commences. Strangely, the past 4 months of summer break felt way shorter as compared to the previous one. I almost didn't expect myself to be able to get away from the city with my internship and the H1N1 virus still spreading but yes, I'm going on a short holiday! Summer's still good to me :) Till I come back!

I am 21!


The series of birthday celebrations which span over the week:

With some of the Cambodia Ocip people @ Hoshi Japanese Restaurant for buffet

Azur @ Crowne Plaza Hotel with family

Ambience and food was fantanstic. Very worth it despite the limited variety because the food made up for it- drunken prawns, oysters, sashimi, black pepper crabs were simply fresh and divine. They serve Häagen-Dazs ice cream too! Highly recommended to go while promotion lasts.

Cousin who conincidentally share the same birthday as me

With secondary school clique


With smu econs clique. ♥ the handmade scrapbook!

And with my golden girls! Till we grow old and toothless!


It has been a truly awesome week. Thank you friends, for celebrating my 21st with me and for being part of my growing up phase. Thank you for all the presents! I feel so, so blessed :) Cheers to 21!

21: Surprise! Let's go nautical (and pink)

Surprise party!

A big thumbs up to my fellow interns who took my word seriously, planned the entire birthday celebration, and made sure I was genuinely surprised. Though I did suspect they had something up their sleeves, I would never have expected them to liase with my mom and hold the party at my own condominium's function room! The surprise party has certainly exceeded what 8-week friends will do, especially since Serangoon isn't the most convenient place to go to. Thank you!



Twister madness! It was mad hilarious when it was the guys' turn

Pictionary with out-of-the-world vocabulary. How would you draw monkey business?

Thank you all, for the mini party! Perhaps I should have held one for all my friends instead of having a series of celebrations with different cliques, since it's tiring either way ;) But NO REGRETS.

Being 21 feels almost the same as any day, although I do feel a tad old whenever I think about how most of my friends aren't 21 yet. I feel like a big sister!
