Before leaving for Uni

1. Met up with Farhan at Haakon and had a really good catch up :)

2. Beautiful Mummy's surprise 50th Birthday party!! Invited 30 of her closest friends to a dinner at Portico and it was sooo successful :')  

3. Had one of the most lovely evenings just talking endlessly and seamlessly about things that matter with Nicole, Luk Ching, Miriam and Natascha! We also chatted over amazing food that everyone had contributed to such as sweet potato, bliss balls, sushi, cake and ice cream!!

4. Had lunch at Barrio in 313 with my companion for life aka my lovely jie :) 

5. Crystal jade at HV with the cutie roomies!! And spent too much time trying on make-up in Guardian and also had an intense discussion in the train on making their money's worth on an uber ride back to NTU

6. Vegan lunch of 'pulled pork' (made of jackfruit) and salad with Kim - and she said it tasted legit which made me so happy!! We then painted and went to the LKC History Museum in NUS with Natalie :) 

7. Another trip to Haakon to try their acai bowls this time! Honestly sooooo creammy :)

8. Spent the day with Bincs watching Zootopia, cooking (made baked potatoes for lunch which tasted amazing, as well as corn which made us too full) and taking pictures in Bishan park! Wore matchy chokers which Bincs very kindly gave me :')

9. Marutama for dinner with Kim and ZW!! As usual spent too much time trying to get a decent photo right before we split off to get home

10. Super chill afternoon with Claire!! We baked granola and 1/4 of them got burnt :'( But the remaining 3/4 still tasted amazing I promise! It's been a while since we spent quality time with each other and it made me realized how much I missed hanging out with her ! 

The Happiest Place on Earth - No, not Disneyland (4)

Day 6 

The day started with a 30 minute morning run with Justina just along a road leading up to the hotel - it was only on this run where I could actually feel the effects of high altitude (unless I was just really unfit, that could be it as well). Any who, after the run we met the family for breakfast again and then headed to visit a Montessori school as Mum is really interested in opening a Montessori in Bhutan which is super exciting!! I was the appointed photographer and spent a good hour just taking pictures of the school and the lovely children who were all so eager to learn :) 

After that we visited the highest point in Bhutan on Dantak road which was 3988m in altitude! The drive up here was simply magnificent :') 

We then changed into the local Bhutanese dressing and took pictures! It was also National Day in Singapore that day! 

We then headed back to town to have lunch and explored the town for a bit before heading back to pack our bags and just chill :) So day 6 was a pretty uneventful day but it was still enjoyable nonetheless because we could just relax 

Day 7 

Departure day :'( We headed to the local supermarket before heading to the airport and across the street from the supermarket, Justina and I saw the Bhutanese equivalent to 'Pizza hut' and decided we had to try Bhutanese pizza! So we got 2 small personal pan sized ones and kept them for before the flight. 

After bidding goodbye to our amazing guide and driver, Kuenzang and Tandi, we checked in our bags and got through customs only to find out that our flight was delyed for an hour and a half - annoying!! We then chatted to the other Singaporean guest who were staying with us in the same hotel and also leaving on the same flight, at the departure hall and also tried the pizza! It wasn't anything special and tasted like average pizza but I'm still glad we tried it hehe 

I've finally come to the end of my Bhutan travel posts!! I'm so glad I did this so that I can always look back and reminisce this wonderful holiday :) It is truly one of the most memorable trips I've had! I think the fact that I had zero expectations of what Bhutan would be like made me fall even greater in love with this beautiful place :'))))) 

Ugh

Roomspiration

There's so much on my mind right now !!

Things I need to get for my flat ASAP: 

1) A rug 

2) I need to hoover the carpet 

3) A swivel desk chair (DESPERATELY) 

4) A blender  

5) Tupperwares to store food 

6) Baking ingredients (maybe not asap but I really wanna make pancakes and cake) 

7) A candle/diffuser 

8) A good winter coat 

9) Do my laundry

Things I just need to do URGENTLY:

My field ecology project!!! The more I think about it the more stressed out I get (obvi) because its due in 14 days and I haven't started at all. It's taking me so long to think of a hypothesis :( and also thinking about it just keeps reinforcing the fact that I hate being out in the field and conducting experiments and it's definitely not what I want to do in life. But this is an issue that does not need to be dealt with now and though I feel that way, I still have no choice but to do my project and I can't be lazy about it anymore! UGHHH I really really hate it and I also hate myself for being so last minute about it. I may just go ahead and do a herbarium collection and to do that I need to go to the library and collect a flower guide. SIGGGGHHGHGHHH

I've also went back to my old ways of being so slow at replying people's texts. I have no idea what is wrong with me!! I just feel so unmotivated at the moment even though I have so much time?? I literally have nothing on today besides the activities fair yet I'm just sitting in my room and being so meh about everything 

The only thing that I am excited about now is making lunch which is Rice paper rolls!! Gonna put avo, cucumber, carrots, mango and then have like a maple soy sauce kind of thing. Also going to the activities fair with Juliette later so YAY and then maybe on the way back I'll go to Arthur's seat to collect flowers for my herbarium collection. We'll see how it goes. 

I'm gonna paint my nails now and think about my project BYE :'(
