#49: Morgan's outing @ Medz, Orchard Central

Exams have ended and thus it's also the official start of our 5 week break! 

It's been a tough first semester and I'm glad everyone held through

5 weeks is too short to fret over how we had done for the exams so let's just let loose and have fun!

Morgan decided to pop by Medz @ Orchard Central B2 for dinner

We reserved a table for 25 and had an entire area just to ourselves

awesomeee

Medz serves Mediterranean, Italian, Greek cuisine and follows the Marche-style system

where you will be given a card at the door, place orders with it at the live stations and pay on the way out

Dishes ordered:

lamb kebab

rosti

I ordered grilled seabass with braised aubergine (eggplant!) and it was DELICIOUS

but the photo I have of it does not do it justice :\

the truffle fries was really tasty too!

and it seems like there's another agenda besides eating our hearts out today...

BIRTHDAY SURPRISES

awww thanks morgan :') 

and belated happy birthday to my fellow morgans Sam and Mingzhen!

 

birthday babies making the most of their precious once a year chance for wishes

and thanks buddies Kok and Carmen for the birthday board

so much effort put into it, furthermore Kok did it during the exams period

#buddylove 

Sam, Mingzhen, Me, SheeGL Keying, CGL KC, Kok, Carmen

w the pretty girl with hell lots of brains as well, Daphne 

want to end this post by giving thanks to Morgan

for being such a great fun family to have while we camp 3 months at the ulu west of Singapore

5 days a week without family is really a challenge for me #homelygirlistrying

Greetings to everyone else too!

It's the season of giving thanks and I hope everyone is making the most out of it yeah :)

I hope to meet as many old friends as possible during this period too before I fly off for my overseas trip :P

where am I going? hmmm we'll see

Wishing that everyone is happy everyday -Kylie Y.

#48: MGP's new collection is out! & quick life update!

During revision week, 

I took a day off mugging to work with MGPLabel aka My Glamour Place

just in time for some much needed fresh air too 

I was really amazed by the quality of their clothes! *cross my heart, really*

Apparently the manufacturer for MGP is same as Zara's 

so really, I was pretty impressed

And the dresses were really pretty too! 

led to lots of internal conflict when they offered me to pick a dress I would like to bring home

So just want to share a few of the pretty clothes in their new collections :>

do go to their website and check the rest of the collection out! 

http://mgplabel.com

https://www.facebook.com/myglamourplace

or you can follow their fb page too^ 

really love the colours of the middle one! perfect for girl dates 

or even couple dates for the lucky ones in love :)

and if you ran out of dresses for the end of year parties coming up...

 totally digging the yellow one, really wanted to get that but I chose another in the end

sometimes when life throws you too many choices is quite a headache too

#girlpains

 hope I managed to help the girls out there who wants to stock up their closet for 

xmas, new year and even cny! ^^

and right...btw

9 MORE DAYS TILL END OF EXAMS. 

CAN'T WAIT.

First exam at NBS 22.11.2013 - me and my morgan family from Group B <3

the rest of Group B during our lecture on a SATURDAY

 p.s. NBS takes really good care of its students. the ever dependable ABC

i.e. Accountancy & Business Club, a student-run council that looks after the entire NBS students

Gave out Welfare Packs!! Teehee

As ever kiasu Singaporeans, the queue was really long as everyone went to grab for theirs

morgan even made exclusive welfare packs for each one of us in the morgan family, so touched :')

gotta.go.back.and.mug.now.

Really hope that my efforts produce results, but the bell curve is really scary :<

Till, next time! Take care and stay happy :)

#43 1st Driving-Practical Lesson

omw to my first lesson!

Finally started my practical.

Kinda regret not registering for btt and driving immediately after turning 18

but better late than never right?

Booked 11 classes over a span of the first 2 weeks of July

NBS camp will be held in the 3rd week, totally excited for it

May I not embarrass myself in front of my new schoolmates ><

Btw I strongly recommend you to try Daytona at arcades if you're gonna pick up driving

hahaha my instructor said that my experience w Daytona helps x)

He's a really nice guy and was friendly & helpful,

thumbs up to ubi driving centre!

"to drive is easy, to drive safely is hard" - as quoted from Mr. Lim

I really despise ill-mannered drivers on the road

Please don't speed unnecessarily, treat pedestrians with care, 

AND USE YOUR SIGNAL LIGHTS DAMN IT

Don't risk any lives for your own short burst of adrenaline rush.  

#40: Graduating from Poly, Going into University...

NEWSFLASH:

I had officially graduated from Singapore Polytechnic 

with a Diploma in Banking & Finance (with Merit) as of 16 May 2013

me and my wonderful classmates of 2 years :)

okay so, I was supposed to wake up at 5am to start 'dressing up'

want to look my best for Graduation right?

But apparently my alarm failed me on my big day and I woke up at 7.15am

FML

and so I was in the biggest rush of 2013 that morning to leave the house at 8am

Thanks mommy for supporting everything I do

I can get real stubborn at times, indecisive and what not

Sorry mom for making you worry over my grades throughout my Secondary days

and stressing you out at times over my peculiar diet habits

Your girl is moving on into University, and planning to stay in Hall

I'll continue working hard in school, so don't worry about me my dear family!

especially Dad, he dotes on his daughters so much, never stingy on us and always trying to provide us the best of everything

I'm a really blessed girl to be in this family and though at many times I may fail to show my appreciation

but I'm deeply thankful for everything my family does for me

To my sister, 

study hard and yes you can sleep in my room but DO NOT MAKE A MESS PLEASE

and you'll face the devil's punishment when I'm back during the weekends

Take care of your parents for me & lets try to keep our attitudes in check. ;)

so....which University has I picked?

*drumroll*

NTU - ACCOUNTANCY

I'm really excited for all the orientation camps to start

(hall camp, faculty camp especially)

though I heard that slots are limited! 

I really hope to get into the camps :(

and yes, I also plan to say in Hall.

I'm not going to do "1hr there & 1hr back" trips every day

won't have enough energy left for class if I did :X

and then, I heard that Halls are randomly allocated

*fingers crossed* please give me an air-conditioned room pleaseeee

and may hall-life be one of my most treasured fun times in my life ever

sigh the anxiety and unsure-ness is killing me!

can't wait for camps but definitely not looking forward to classes

I JUST GRADUATED and now I have to start studying again in august

le sigh. 

Lastly,

CONGRATS TO EVERYONE WHO'VE JUST GRADUATED

no matter which education institute you're from

Hopefully life will be more exciting for you/me from now on

as we get older,wiser, richer(?).. 

I pray that most importantly, we also become happier :)

so see you NTU and my fellow to-be schoolmates in late July!

Please take care of me :)

Lots of Love, Kylie Y. 

#34: Quick Update for the past 2 weeks!

Sorry that I haven't been posting regularly lately!

Been putting most of my time into jobs and stuff...

I'll be away from 6th Apr (today!) till 17th Apr

Going for a holiday with my mama to Japan and Beijing ~ 

Will try my best to take alot of photos and blog about when I'm back!!

SASHIMI :D

Update on University Application

Received offer from NTU Accountancy,

went for SMU Biz school interview on Tuesday,

still waiting for NUS's letter.

I haven't exactly made up my mind on which school I would prefer yet

and I get alot of mixed reviews...

this is so tough :<

02Apr - After SMU's interview

For SMU's Biz school interview, it went like this:

If you're from poly or if your A lvls GP(i think) is not of a certain grade,

you have to take SMU's english test.

It consists of a comprehension (30mins) and essay (45mins)

oh gosh I think even caucasians will not get 1/2 of the vocabulary used in the compre passage

Immediately after, you'll be given an article to read to prepare you for the subject of the interview

You'll go into the room with 5-7 other students

(6 out of 8 students in my group were foreigners, how intense :S)

there were 2 profs in my room (really friendly)

and you'll be asked to discuss about what you've just read 

hmmm...basically from what I heard, if you've been invited to the interview

you're somewhat halfway there already, they just want to observe how willing you are to participate openly in class and your english standard (for the test)

so just make sure you speak up during the interview! 

and speak smartly that is. 

all fingers crossed! now it's just back to waiting for me again. :)

Update on Works:

Aveda HairShow

Aveda products are at least 90% made from organic products

and thus more friendly to the environment and your hair! 

Purpose of the show is for a good cause,

 raising money to provide clean drinking water to less privileged countries :)

Stylists from New York!

Works by the international stylists:

Works by local salons:

Me getting my hair done on treatment day:

Decided that I still look better in black and dyed it back right after the show

FOC thanks to Aveda :)

Though I was very honored to have my hair dyed by stylists who have 

styled the hair for some of the biggest celebrities out there in the US and stuff

For now, it's back to basic black :)

Updates on Cooking!

I have always had a passion for cooking 

however I swear it's been freaking long since I last tried to cook anything fancy

Normally, my maid(Jackie) cooks dinner

But I'd some evening jobs this week so I've to eat dinner earlier than usual

hence....I decided to cook for myself :S

Day 1

Day 2

 I really love noodles but I'm still trying to control my carb intake 

hence as a substitute I used cucumber/cabbage shreds

Both dishes I added in tomatoes to get the sweet sour tangy-ness

and some of my fav vegetables alongside

pumpkin, mushrooms, long beans and eggs for protein ^^

Okay the presentation is hardly acceptable but hey it tasted pretty awesome

*pats back*

Back to packing for me now! Will update after I'm back from Japan! 

Take care, Kylie
