Wax seals.

Hello!

I went to the Esplanade Arts Festival with Honey on Sunday.
It was so cool!
They had so many cute artworks displayed, some glow in the dark performance by the river. 
I didn't get to snap a photo though. 
I think my BF did, I'll upload some photos if I can grab his photos. 
Hehe.

Anyway, I went to get more wax and wax seals!
Quite crazy but I love them so much!

I got another A one, horsey is for Honey and J is for his brother. :)







I shall continue with my assignments. 
Bye guys.

With Love,

A hero is someone who understands the responsibility that comes with his freedom. - Bob Dylan

Hey.


I have been thinking so much lately. Especially with people around me facing all sorts of relationship problems. Couples getting married because of pregnancy, teenagers losing faith in love and so many other problems. As much as I know everyone have their ways of dealing with difficult situations, but me being me, I just can't help but to be concern. I am always too sensitive, I take it upon myself to try and help them. Maybe this is why I always say I cannot be a social worker, EVER, because I will sink right into their problems and be deeply affected. 

Teenagers around me are all thinking that maintaining a relationship is an easy task. In fact, it is far from easy. I assume it is because I am together with my BF for going 5 years now, and we almost always look happy and contented around our family and friends. So people don't see the hardship in working a relationship. I guess it's only human to see the good side of things, we tend to ignore the fact that in everything we do there good and bad, pros and cons. I used to think my aunties didn't try hard enough because they always say, in a relationship someone has to be the one to give in. I know, I know, I am very stubborn. I used to think that both parties are equal in a relationship. In any situations, we discuss and come to a fair conclusion. But now when I look back, how silly can I be. Who is it to determine that it is a FAIR conclusion? There is always one party giving in to derive to the "fair conclusion". 

No couples are exactly the same. Whatever you find working for you, maintain it. Now, I guess we take turns giving in to each other and it's quite sweet and funny. Haha. 

Most importantly, think through real hard before you make a decision. It is really not wise to be stubborn and walk into a relationship knowing you guys have no future together or that you guys are not compatible at all. Different people think differently, is it really better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all? This is something to think about and not to be blindly followed.

I know I am always more mature than my age but recently as responsibility keeps piling, I suddenly realize I stopped growing. There are so many things I want to avoid, I want to walk away, I want to cry it off. I grew up in a family that does not accept imperfections. There is no excuse why can't I be the best, why can't I work harder, why can't I this, why can't I that. There is nobody to talk to about anything since young. I bottled everything up and always thought that is what everyone does. And boy, I was wrong, very wrong. Now, I try to open my heart and talk to people as much as I need vent. It is working quite well for me, but sometimes I still forget and keep all my troubles to myself. 

I am still really close with mummy even though she doesn't know how much stress she has given me and I really don't plan on telling her. She really doesn't know how sensitive I can get. She keeps saying she doesn't expect a lot from me, but I see every micro-expression of hers when she reads my result slip. Her work harder next time is not just an encouragement, it is like a demand. 

Maybe it happens to all mothers, more or less, 93 for Maths and she asks why not full marks? I'm not trying to say I shouldn't work towards the highest, the best, but she doesn't understand the stress in our studies. She likes to say if she is the one studying she will definitely do better than me. But why so harsh on me? 

Now when I think about the stress in this course, all I can think of is run. I just want to walk away from all these and start afresh somewhere else, somewhere I can be myself. But it's not right, I can't just walk away. Sigh..

I have to end here. Before I flood my laptop with tears. I thought I really needed to vent before I drive myself up the wall.

Thanks for reading. xoxo

Now.

Hello!

I know I haven't blogged for a long time. 
I have so many assignments and only 2 done?
I can't even begin to think how I pulled through Year 1.

Since we are in Year 2 now, we are all attached to a new Preschool Centre. 
I am attached to a Preschool near SSC with Siqi.
It is a private preschool so I guess that's why they are very demanding?
Or a nicer way to say it, they have VERY HIGH expectations.

I wouldn't say it is a bad centre to be attached to.
However, so far, it wasn't a very good experience.
I miss the previous childcare too much and that can't be a good thing.
I know I shouldn't dwell on such things.
There are quite some situations in this new preschool that I see not quite right, in theory. 

It's really difficult for me to enjoy my time here.
The children here are so serious with school work it just hurts me to see them go through so much stress. 
Nonetheless, children are children, they can be crazy and be themselves with me. ;)
To me, that's only right.


Enough of ranting, let's start this post with a smile. :)
That's me with my new Dior necklace. 



Aunty sent this to me from Melbourne.
So much LOVE, it just makes my day. ^^

Then I went to get something fun for myself, BF and Aunty online. 
Hehe.
It's something I've always wanted and I can never find it in Singapore. 

It's a wax seal/ wax seal stamp, whatever you call it. 
Haha.
We had so much fun with it. 








I'm gonna buy more and customize one for myself!
YAY!
Thank you KatrinaAlana.com for the very good service. :)

That's all for today. 

P.S. I'm drafting my Melbourne Trip Post already. I will post as soon as I get all the photos ready. :)
