My birthday celebration..simple yet memorable~

Hmm celebrated my birthday 2 weeks ago and now only I have the mood to share the moments..Basically its just a very simple celebration, trying nice food that I had always wanted, and most importantly throwing all hassles off my mind...just for this one day ^^
The night before I received a birthday present from mum..though she didn't make it clear that it is for my birthday but she spent lots of time in front of the sewing machine just to make this cutie present for me..love it so much as it keeps me warm all the time~

The next morning I was preparing to travel to PJ, mum again surprise me by cooking me delicious mee suah, a traditional dish that Chinese would take during birthday which brings good luck and longevity..and also an ang pao for me ^^

Arrived PJ around noon...took off to Time Square for shopping and eating...

Dinner at Esquire Kitchen Sg Wang...ordered the restaurant's famous Dong Poh Meat

Dong Poh meat is taken by stuffing the meat into the flower bun..perfect match!

This signature fry ramen tastes nice too

There's a saying that time flies when you're enjoying every moment..yea its true...in just a short while I had to put an end to my birthday celebration...

Life as an unofficial PhD student

After graduating, i chose this path, direct path to PhD. Have to admit that I'm some coward who were afraid to adapt to the working world..so I chosen this route which I once thought would suit me the most..and also hoping that it would lead me to a better future..
As usual, life wouldn't turn out as easy as you want it to be...I had problems in application, lack of certain documents, admin lost my documents, my documents are set aside to collect dust..all these happened to me almost simultaneously and really drives me crazy..
3 months have passed..and I'm still stuck in the "application" stage..it really hit my determination to walk down this road..keep wondering whether i chose the correct path or not..whether all the effort and tears are worthwhile or not...
Now I'm called for an interview on next Tuesday..finally I can see some shine of light..hope that all the "unluckiness" are gone and bring me back the strength to move on with this ^^
