Just food and party

Meh! Been wanting to blog for days
but my laptop just isn't cooperating. LIKE RIGHT NOW. My laptop just isn't connecting to the internet.. Sigh. I've to get a new lappy soon but I would be so reluctant to cuz I developed feelings for my lappy already HAHAHA. 

Ok so apparently my laptop
is able to connect to my internet hotspot but not my house internet. WHY LAPPY WHY. Ahhh but at least I've internet to blog now!!! Few days back, Alicia, Lindsay and I headed off to Orchard Central to have Kiseki Japanese Buffet early in the morning at 11AM HAHAHHA.

OOTD that day:

I actually wore something more
comfortable for the buffet when I reach OC, I only changed it into the above outfit after having our buffet which explains why I'm actually wearing something else in the pictures below with Alicia!

We were with our boss though,
really feeling quite excited now since we're gonna have a new show on MousetrapTV! At first I was really kinda upset, I thought MLW (the show the 3 of us host) is gonna be terminated, but thank god MLW is still gonna continue along with the new upcoming show for the 3 of us!

Kiseki Japanese Buffet was
pretty good, crazy loads of variety of food. I didn't eat much though, maybe I'm just not suited for buffets! Lindsay left for Cathay after lunch and that's when I changed out into my other outfit for the rest of the day HAHAHHA. Did a bit of shopping then at Watsons, H&M and Editors Market! Am contemplating if I should make a September haul video though!

Alicia and I planned to catch
'The Purge' that day but we didn't.... The both of us was looking forward to the movie since the day before! But some shitty stuffs happened and honestly my mood was completely ruined LOL. Hang around Cineleisure for a bit and headed off to OC for crazy good yogurt. Yea, I know what you're thinking, it's not laolao! We headed for Glacier @ OC instead :D

Yea IKR,
my yogurt looks way nicer than Alicia's (the one at the back) but guess what happened next? The lady boss of Glacier noticed that we were taking pictures and decided to 'rescue' Alicia's yogurt and made it look super pretty after that lol!!!!! :

 HAHHAHA. Sorry ah if mine doesn't
look very impressive. After all, Glacier allows you to take any amount of yogurt by yourself at the yogurt vending machine, you just have to pay after weighing it, that's all! It's the same logic as buying slurpee actually. I remembered the first time I tried out Glacier, it was the day before Alicia's birthday and they even have Red velvet yogurt!!!!

It's fantastic.
Especially how you can mix the yogurt flavors together and all, it's really pretty fun hahahha. But this time I just went for Original instead since they didn't have Red Velvet that day ): Their red velvet is nice though, but I still prefer original! Alicia tried out their Matcha and Cookies & Cream flavor that day, whoaaaaaaaaaaa I love it ♥__♥ !!!!!

I remember there was this girl
who saw me buy glacier instead of laolao and she told me, "eh you also prefer glacier?! Don't know why people go for laolao hor." Honestly speaking, I've never tried laolao! Really wanna try it out soon so I can have my verdict on which is the better yogurt hahahhaha. But every single time I look at laolao's queue omfg....... 

Oh ya and since Glacier is just right
next to Saizeriya, the insanely CHEAP and affordable Italian food, I went there for dinner after yogurt HAHAHA. I love their food la!!!! Especially the smoked salmon. I really wonder how they earn when their food is passable with good service yet everything is so cheap with service/GST charge. Insane! 

Our day didn't just end like that,
by night around 8plus 9, we headed to Hop Dog Bar(clarke quay) and met Justin there for a few drinks! By then my phone died lolol. What a torture! Correction, THEY had drinks, I didn't. I only had plain water lolol. The thing is that, I'm a horrible drinker, I can't hold alcohol well and.... I turn red super easily even if it's just a few drops of alcohol. I just didn't wanna be a mess!

Lindsay joined us at Hop dog that night too!
Coincidentally, Alicia's friends were over at Clarke quay too! So obviously they joined us over at Hop dog too la hahahha. They had a couple of drinks too and guess what? It was sooooooo impromptu that we decided to head to F Club with her friends! I was so reluctant not because I don't club, I love parties! But I was dressing like I'm heading to a wedding dinner lol. But I went ahead anyway! 

And then, that is when I started to drink.
JUST A LITTLE. It was just a matter of time that I instantly turn red: 

I was telling Lindsay how I wouldn't
bother to edit our drunk-looking pictures and she was like, "walao! At least MTXX(meituxiuxiu) la!" HAHAHHA, yea so I did MTXX our faces a bit.. but the subsequent pictures at the bottom.... I DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER ANYMORE. I didn't put on much makeup that day and it's useless editing drunk looking pictures because it's ugly and funny anyway!

She was like,
"Omg Chrysan your face is damn red you look so wasted" The truth is,
I obviously wasn't drunk with just a little bit of alcohol. I just have no idea where I'm flushed red immediately every single time I drink. I heard it's not a good thing!!!! Sometimes my skin gets itchy omg I hope I'm not allergic x_x

That night was pretty insane.
Not saying that the party was good, but the company! I'm so glad we can all click with Alicia's friends and we all definitely had lots of fun. It's the first time the 3 of us clubbed together and I'm sure we will do it again some day HAHAHA. 

I wish the next time we
head to a club again, we would be prepped for it in proper outfits so I can really really party. Lindsay was looking casual, I was obviously looking weird and Alicia was in Nike shoes hahahhahaha we obviously did not plan to party that night at all.

Blogging about this makes me miss
the both of them soooooooooooo much T_T ♥ !!!!! Ahhhhhhhh, think I can totally run to the East side now to find them HAHHAHA. I woke up crazy early the next day to meet up with some Carousell buyers lolol. But I treated myself to good food(I thought it'll be) the next day at Holland V, Craft Bakery Cafe!

Carrot Juice :D

Honestly, I didn't like their food ):
I like their Eggs Benedict though, but definitely not their dessert.... I ordered 'The Tall Cake' from the menu and I was expecting impressive, like a really tall cake or something. But turns out, it was just some ordinary chocolate cake which btw, didn't taste good. Maybe because I'm not a fan out chocolate, but it's really not the best chocolate I've tried. Their ice cream only tasted good along with the choco crisp.

My friend, who tasted it too
didn't like it either. I asked him if he would return back to this cafe for their food, he gave me a straight up 'no'. So yeaaaaaaa, but their service/ambiance/eggs benedict etc are good! Maybe I just ordered the wrong stuffs la!!! Oh ya their Margherita Pizza not very nice also O_O

Also, I actually received
some Ask.FM questions from the same person that night.... honestly speaking, my reaction:

 For your convenience sake,
I've attached screen shots of what the person said on my AskFM: 

First of all, 
I'm definitely grateful towards MousetrapTV and Wah!Banana. I always tell the people around me how much they've helped me. This, I know it myself. I do not need someone out there to tell me how I gained my followers or what I should do. It's just ridiculous. I mean if you think about it, whatever the person said is as good as saying that Mediacorp artistes do not deserve to be who they are today because they received the help of Mediacorp LOLOL.

IF, IF the person is saying that I 
only gained followers because I rely on stupid shoutouts(WHICH I DON'T), then yea I've nothing to say. But the thing is, I WORK HARD for whatever I have today. I work hard in the videos of MousetrapTV AND Wah!Banana. I am extremely thankful that I've met them and that they are the ones who provided me the opportunities to be on their platform.

Do I not work hard for the videos?
Are my efforts not real? You think what, Wah!Banana help me act ah? I don't put a gun to people's head to ask them to follow me ya? Everyone starts from somewhere. This person is indirectly saying that, the Mediacorp artistes, bloggers and YouTubers don't deserve to be who they are today because they rely on others?

If I've to think of someone who
is successful today on social media BY THEMSELVES, it'll be Xiaxue and Xiaxue only. And even she, still thank Nuffnang for helping her. If not, it'll be Steven Lim -_____- 

I don't deny that I was slightly affected.
But come to think of it, I truly worked hard myself and I am never once not thankful for MousetrapTV and Wah!Banana.... And if doing what I love and working hard for myself is still not right, I don't know what is. 

But still, I choose to look on the bright side!
The people who are nice to me and have been around all these while even though I'm a nobody, muaaaaaa! ♥

Planning to take a diploma/degree ?

Advertorial

Honestly , I've never liked studying . 

Even up till now , the only reason why I'm forcing myself to attend to school is only because of stereotype that one would never make it in life if you do not have a cert . As a student , I've always felt that most schools focus only on your academics .

Do any of you feel this way ?

Do you ever feel like you're just going through the motion or trying to live up to expectations that was never yours ? Because I do .

However , my whole perception

of education changed when I attended an informal event hosted by M2 Academy last week at their campus located in the heart of the city :

M2 Academy is located at Orchard Gateway @emerald where they take up levels 8-11 ♥_♥ !! 

So anyway I was really excited when I 

reached the reception at level 11 , they actually prepared refreshments for me and the other bloggers while waiting for the CEO of M2 Academy to give a speech and tour of the campus :D 

Omggggg look at all the food (though I know that's not the main point) HAHA

Once slice of pizza bigger than my face HAHHAHAHA . 有够大方的咯！[SUPER GENEROUS LOR]

After getting to know the other 

bloggers and crazily eating all the food when the most of the other bloggers are actually just chatting and all but I just kept eating and eating HAHAHA the CEO arrived ! Drum roll pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee , deng deng deng deng , here he is ! : 

Hahaha , that's Mark ! 

I actually asked him if there's any meaning behind 'M2' and then he told me it's called M2 because both him and the co-founder of the school are both called Mark HAHHAHA . So cool ! But anyway that's not the point , because while listening to him give his speech , that's where my perspective of education changed . Completely O_O . 

I'm extremely impressed by his 

vision of M2 ; how he's able to think for the student's well-being and not just be like most schools in Singapore , where at the end of the entire course , all you walk away with is a piece of paper (certificate) .

He said , "Everybody has potential" and that's 

where I instantly felt soooooooo strongly about this issue of WHY are schools always so focused on just the academics and not helping their students to discover their passion ? HOW can results prove a person's worth ? But in M2 , that's where they're different . 

They place great emphasis on 

helping their students maximize their potential . Being a student myself , I could totally relate and somehow felt extremely thankful for the existence of M2 Academy where they look pass our academic achievements but see us for who we really are ...

As a student , I hardly interact with

anyone in school and sometimes I just feel so alone because it's just sitting in classrooms , listening to lectures , having breaks in the canteen and going home , BAM , THAT'S IT . At M2 Academy , I no longer need to worry about this :D !!

They adopt an open concept 

whereby students from different courses get to interact with each other on a daily basis as they have this 'common area' in the middle of all the classrooms where you can chill , hang out , study etc like this :

Looking so comfy and chill :D ♥ !!!!

They also have electrical sockets

everywhere near the seats around the common area just so you can use them which is so convenient !!! Not to mention , they also have free WiFi for their students with easy or NO passwords because Mark thinks having to type in long passwords for WiFi is simply stupid LOL . So thoughtful :D

Every table has it's own LCD screen which would be used for case studies :D

In M2 Academy ,

they encourage group work which is important as working in the future most likely requires team work and it encourages bonding and interaction amongst group members . Also , as you can see in the above picture , all of their classrooms have glass panels all around to allow natural light to shine in which is proven to greatly improve the ability to focus and absorb information in lectures . If the sun is too glaring , there , they have blinds ^^ !

They're technology driven and

everything is digitized . Instead of typical lectures , they provide video lectures , personalized guidance and interaction with students which benefits both the advanced/less advanced learners !

Many people only pay lip service

 to how they will provide students with what they need but over here , M2 Academy make sure that everything they have are to be available for their students . Moving on , I saw one of their auditoriums and whoaaaaaaaaa I'm blown away by the amazing night view and city lights just right outside ♥_♥

Check out this view ! Amazing to be studying in the heart of the city with this view right ?

According to Mark , 

he said he put in a lot of effort and took a lot of time to find an ideal location for the campus and finally he found this which is very impressive to me , because in all the lecture rooms that I visited , the view outside is just terrific and it's so convenient to get to the campus via public transport already ! 

However , what I'm more impressed

with is the intention of why Mark wanted this location . He wanted to provide a very friendly environment for the students where it doesn't just feel like 'school' because "location creates a campus environment" , where you can head out to shop , chill , eat or even catch a movie etc etc anytime before/after school or during breaks ! Meeting up with your friends or hanging out with your school mates are made so much easier for a M2 student (:

So I'm sure I've got you 

intrigued on what courses they provide right now . Just to name a few , they provide diploma ranging from Engineering , Business to Arts and also Bachelor of communication and media , Business , Commerce so on and so forth . There are still many other courses they provide out there !

M2 Academy is in collaboration with

the University of South Australia (UniSA) where they're recognized globally as one of Australia's rising schools . Also , 70% of their lecturers in M2 actually hold doctorates with experience in their respective fields .

After all , M2 Academy

provide more than just education , it is also about interacting , bonding , finding friends and ultimately the value is not restricted to just the piece of paper that you'll get after graduating , but also feeling as though you're part of something which you would hopefully take on to the rest of your life . 

As a blogger , whatever I've said

is nothing but the truth . I'm truly impressed by M2 Academy's vision , it's location , facilities and how they encourage people to fight for what they want . My experience with them enlightened me sooooo much about the education system in Singapore . I personally am really inclined to study there and I do recommend M2 Academy to those who're planning to take your diploma/degree . If you think this is the school for you , why not head down to M2 Academy first to check it out (; ? 

OH YES !!!!!

Here's something exclusively for my attentive readers :

Yes ! You would receive

3 months worth of Spotify PREMIUM account for FREE as long as you mention my name , 'Chrysan Lee' when you visit M2 Academy Campus ! However , only while stocks last !!!!! So hurry ! It doesn't hurt to pay a visit at Orchard Gateway @emerald which is just opposite Somerset 313 , no ? HAHAHA :D

Before I end this blog post , 

here's a instavideo of a mini quick tour of me at M2 Academy last week :

I just wanna relax .

Sometimes I just wanna

head out without makeup , feel fresh , let my skin breathe and relax myself .

Don't you wanna do that at times too ? And I truly say , days like this really feels relaxing & free ! 

Once in awhile , 

having a really simple day out without makeup can feel real good too ^^ ! 

So on two occasions I did it and felt so happy (if you do follow me on social platforms you would know) !

Headed out to Vivo City to meet

both my elder sisters with my hair all tied up ! And here's my outfit for that day : 

Denim jacket is from Forever 21 , basic top & bag is from H&M , shoes from Bugis .

My eldest sister , Christy 

doesn't live with my second sister , Fiona and I . She has been living with her boyfriend for really long already , approximately 7 years ? Hahaha , so both me and Fiona hardly sees her ! So on that day we all met up at Vivo City for some high tea session so we can chit chat over it ♥ 

Going out with them

is always the same thing : TO RELAX and HAVE FUN . YUP . 

Sadly when we reached , Fiona had to get some things done so she couldn't follow us for high tea ): 

So we scratched the whole high tea idea and we drove off from Vivo to Changi for Starbucks -____________- quite stupid lol . 

Caramel Hot Chocolate

So stupid la drove all the way

to Changi just for Starbucks when Vivo doesn't have much of a difference for Cafes like that . But it wasn't a bad day ! Spending time with my sisters are one of the best things ever , getting updates about their life , having heart to heart talks like we never had . We even talked about how we're gonna celebrate my birthday this year which is November wtffffffffff hahaha still long ! 

When it's getting late ,

 we went to fetch one of her friend & boyfriend to have dinner ! Fulfilling dinner x good talks at night = perfect day spent ♥ 

Second time within the same 

period , I also met up with Ginity whom I've not met in ages ! Every time we decide to meet up or stay overs , it's ALWAYS impromptu . So then we were just texting and suddenly we decided to meet up the next day & guess where we went ? Far East Plaza ! 

I wanted to source

for 'cute' shoes there as in the Jap style but to my disappointment no such things there LOL . Stupid haze was so disturbing then , at night , Ginity stayed over at my place after we did some mini shopping at Far East Plaza :D 

In case you don't know why

we haven't met up in ages and why Ginity come over my place less was because my dog bit her once , real badly that she has phobia of stepping into my house even . But that night , everything was fine , so the next day we decided to head to Bugis ! 

We actually managed to shop for

A LOT of shoes at super cheap prices like $10 because the shop wants to clear their stocks wtf . And it's not available in all sizes , we were lucky so lucky !!!! Happily ended our day by having a satisfying meal at Long John Silver Bugis . 

Ginity ahahhahaa

  

No pictures of myself that day ! 

I simply wore a romper which I sold recently at Blog Shop Festival 2013 !!! Will blog about that event soon ♥♥♥
