the better days are here

So I've finally whined/complained/cursed/wallowed in self-pity/slogged through the study-exam week and am done with the finals. No hopes on excelling though, I just hope my cap for the first semester would be decent enough to keep me going on to the next. I've till 20th (to enjoy) before reality sets in and I could really do with a lil bit of motivation then. Anyway. Went on my first, real outing (real because at last, an outing w/o worries of unfinished work/exams/upcoming schedules, etc. at the back of my mind) on 1st Dec #likealoser, I know, but at least it served as a pretty good start to the month. :)

Went for Dim Sum buffet at Zhou's Kitchen ; ordered quite a bit and I was just glad I didn't get so bloated that I got hiccups. Food was so-so though. That eeky thing at the bottom right of the pic is fried fish skin, which I was pretty hesitant to try at first, but then found it surprisingly nice. Taste like crackers!

I'm a fan of mango pudding but theirs was a bit disappointing! I guess at least it's camera-friendly lol.

Went for the Starbucks 1-for-1 Grande; and I gave in to the joker friend of mine who wanted Toffee Nut Latte. -.-"

And I conclude that I.Don't.Like.Toffee Nut Latte. Peppermint Mocha ftw!

Loot of the day! <3

Caught this movie 50/50 cos we couldn't make it for One Day lol. It's about a guy who was diagnosed with a rare spinal cancer and chances of survival are 50/50; the entire movie basically shows how he felt and dealt with the whole thing. Wouldn't say it was awesome (cos it was pretty anti-climax) but I guess it's meaningful, or somewhat relatable for me considering how cancer had taken a loved one away before. There's a few scenes in the movie which are hauntingly familiar; the aimless ride back home when the patient has been told about the bomb in his body, shaving his head, chemotherapy and lying in bed all day cos you're simply too weak to do anything - I've witnessed them before. But I guess the part that grips me most was the diagnosis. To the patient, the only word that seemed to make sense at that moment is 'cancer'. The rest of the explanation by the doctor just drowns out. It then dawned on me that this was in fact how it really felt like - depressed and probably lost. I think that scene really helped me to understand how he felt then, albeit a tad too late.But wherever he may be, I hope he'd never have to feel like this again. 

Okkkk, I need to stop being an emo monster. Need to thank my 买东西吃东西khaki for making the first day of dec such an enjoyable one. Hopefully, there'd be more to come. :)
