On a short hiatus; till I get back!

...I guess by the time you read this, I should have landed in Taiwan already HEHE Winter just started so I'm hoping the weather wouldn't be freezing cold. Feel free to follow me on twitter and Instagram for instant updates (; So I was supposed to write a prologue of my trip before I fly off but I was too busy the entire week. I guess I'll just write it when I get back cause it takes time to write a lengthy and decent post, y'know. One of the things that I'm looking forward in this trip would definitely be the food! Thinking of all the various night markets that I'll be visiting every night, I'm pretty sure I'll be coming back with a few extra kgs. Yet I have to be cautious to not get my tummy upset throughout the journey. So there's thiis infographic provided by Gaviscon that shows 7 easy-to-follow tips that could help me and you keep our tummy safe in every circumstances, especially when we are travelling.

Good to have reminder like this sometimes, no? (:

Can't wait to share with you guys the food and places that I'll be visiting!
In the meantime, don't forget to join my giveaway that is still running till the first week of Dec!
Don't miss me, be back real soon HEH

Till then, xx

Too much coffee

Blame the coffee art.

Four more days

....till I'm done with my 7th clinical posting which is this Friday, to be exact. Can't wait! Life has been pretty mundane ever since my clinical posting started which explains the lack of updates in my blog. Cause it's just the same routine everyday, from Monday to Friday. Waking up as early as 6am and spending an average of 11 hours in the hospital is really tiring and by the time I'm back in my hostel in the evening, I still have reports to finish. So, it's really hard to juggle in between active social life, work and having enough sleep. Obviously I chose the latter one.

#truestory and in my case, it's impossible to get even 8 hours of sleep a day.

Every time a new week starts, I'll be looking forward for the weekend cause then I'll get to go out and sleep in. Yet the truth it, when the weekend arrives, all I wanna do is to curl up into a ball and stay in bed the whole weekend. I'm that tired T__T But it doesn't mean that I hate clinical posting, it's definitely more interesting compared to having class. Cause I'll get to see patients from different walks of life and getting exposure of how work life is going to be like in the future. It's definitely something that I look forward every semester. And as for this clinical posting, I'm grateful that I've gained much more than just knowledge and experiences, it changed me in a way. Seeing life in a different perspective. I'll probably write it in another different blogpost some other time, when I'm feeling it.

I've no idea why am I writing this post, but I just realized how much I miss blogging. Alright, I shall post some photos before you feel bored about this wordy blogpost already.

HKL Paediatrics' Institute is where I'm posted for the entire 6 weeks.
I had to walk 8km everyday but good thing is that I feel less guilty for not being able to workout this one whole month. So this will compensate :P 

Hydrotherapy with the kids last last Friday, looks fun but it is not as relaxing as you thought. 

So besides sleeping, food is definitely what I'll go for to de-stress myself too. Bad idea I know, but I can't help it. What is eating clean again? HAHAHA Sorry self, not this month. Tried packing food for lunch as well but it didn't last till a week. And I find myself craving for all kind of food whenever I'm stress.

Breakfast and dinner that I had over the past few weeks but surprisingly I didn't gain any weight :P 

Pampered myself with green tea ice-cream last night (: 

Excuse me for this abrupt ending but I'm so happy that it's a public holiday tomorrow so we get a day off from clinical too! No Monday bluesssss 8) Counting down to Friday! Last but not least,

 ...guess who's turning 22 next week? HEHHHH

Note to self

Never too late since we still have three months to go before 2013 ends, no?

Happy September anyways! (;

Gong Hei Fatt Choy

It's that time of the year where it's all about the good food and angpows, and of course family bonding time too. To be honest, CNY is my favourite festive season of all(!) cause I get to be home, clad in brand new clothes and reunite with my extended family as well.

One of the tasks I enjoy doing before CNY; decorating the house (^～^)

Megan, helping out in the kitchen.

Massive fireworks just right in front of my house, so pretty! (≧∇≦)  

Yes, I have an Instagram account now! Teehee I know I know I am a century late, but it's never too late to follow me for my latest updates HEH
Username: @hildamildaa
P/S: With a double a at the back (´∀`)

Last but not least, I hereby wish all of my lovely readers a prosperous and great year ahead filled with success, wealth, happiness, joy and love. Gong Xi Gong Xi! Let's all huat huat huat together in this year of snake! ＼(^▽^＠)ノ

This February,

• get my lazy ass to exercise more
• drink more tea and water
• blog more often
• eat my meals on time

• put more effort in my studies
• make people smile
• make myself happy
• party hard
• be more relaxed 
• listen to more music 
• resist shopping (hopefully)

2013; let's do this!

To be honest, I'm still feeling a tad in disbelief that 2012 is coming to an end in just a few hours, cause it felt like yesterday when 2012 just started. Time is passing too fast that I can hardly catch up sometimes.

Looking back, my 2012 in retrospect has been bittersweet but one thing for sure, I've never imagine it to turn out the way it is right now. Definitely not my year, but life goes on. Despite the bitterness, I'm still thankful for  all the good things that had happen, thankful for the family that is always there to support me, thankful for the friends who stay and be there when I need them, thankful for the new friends that I've met, thankful for my blog readers and generous sponsors that keep this blog alive, thankful for the different places that I've been this year, thankful for the experiences that makes me grow and stronger, thankful for the sweet memories that I once had and even thankful for the random strangers that made my day. So farewell 2012, it's been one hella challenging journey but I'm glad I survived the 366 days. This 2013, I resolve to have no resolutions but to live everyday to the fullest. Time to end the sadness and just be happy. Time for a change and to be able to start over with a clean start, happy & carefree (´∀`) But then again, I wonder what will 2013 bring me. We shall see!

Note to self: When in doubt, keep calm and kitty on!

May 2013 be better for me and all of us ヽ(*≧ω≦)ﾉ Happy New Year, ehverybardy! *pops confetti*

P/S: Been thinking to start on Project 365 for 2013, what say you? HEH

Jingle all the way!

Now that the world doesn't end, I'm staying in tonight working on my assignment that dues in exactly 10 days time while others are out partying their ass off cause it's Christmas' eve. So whoever that is out there celebrating tonight, do party on my behalf *fists bump* 

Source: Tumblr 

There's so much that I wish to ranttell (somehow I'm feeling rather gloomy inside) but I would save that up for another post I guess. Don't wanna spoil the festive mood of everyone *cues jingle bells in the background* Have fun wherever you are, be it your family or loved ones. May this Christmas fill your hearts with warmth, peace and joy! Have a jolly and blessed xmas everyone (:

Up North

Hello from Penang! *waves*
I'm currently leeching wifi in Starbucks so it will be just another short post to keep my blog updated HEH Headed up to Penang yesterday morning and thank God for the fine weather though it was raining heavily earlier and surprisingly there was no traffic jam.

Few photos I took throughout the journey;

Finally, we're almost reaching the much awaited Penang YAYYYYY

We're on the Penang bridge yaw! *jakunnnn*

And oh spotted MAHSA adv towards the end of the Penang Bridge! LOLOL

We safely arrived at 3-ish! :D Somehow the GPS couldn't find most of the places in Penang and since none of us are from Penang, we had to drive around aimlessly while asking around for  directions and trying to figure out where to go #failedGPS and there are so many cars everywhere T__T Hopefully by a week time, we would be familiar with the roads and stuff.

Big thanks to Henry Tan for bringing us around Penang today! :P  

So glad that it's sunny here in Penang B)  

Joeann and I (:

Managed to try the famous Penang Teochew Cendol at Lebuh Keng Kwee :D 

And as for now, I'm having mixed feelings for tomorrow; my first day of clinical posting in Penang GH. Excited yet nervous cause I haven't really been studying over the one week holiday but let's just hope all is well *fingers crossed*

P/S: Penang langs, do recommend me places to go or food to try :DDDDDDDD

Till then, have a great week ahead!

Fishytail braids

Last Sunday, I decided to finally learn how to do a fishytail braid cause I have nothing better to do, obviously HEH You can google up if you have no idea what a fishytail braid is, it's actually called fishtail braid but I purposely added the y to make it sounds cuter (x

Anyways, it's not really the new trend or something, it's been a while since last year I think. I searched for tutorial videos on youtube (duh!) and found this video which shows the easier version of fishtail braid and she explains it quite clearly. It turned out to be way easier than I thought! I find other videos either to fast for me to catch up (maybe it's just me who is slow to pick up HAHA) or it's only video without anyone speaking, weird much. So here goes!

And showing you my #1 attempt on fishytail braid;

..which ended up looking like the normal french braid T_T So the trick is to take smaller chunks of hair to cross over, geddit geddit? Btw, I like how my hair looks so soft here.

TIP: Do practise in front of a mirror, it makes things easier and faster, at least for me (: 

Then, it gets better with the #2 attempt! Like they always said, practice makes perfect :D I can see the difference, can you? 

Last but not least, my #3 attempt and I'm loving it! ♥

Nice not? ( ´▽｀)
But how come it still doesn't look like the one in the video? HMPHHH D:
Maybe cause I don't have thick hair and I wish I have highlights then the braid would look pretty!

#OOTD

And this is me, going out with the fishytail braid and ignore my ugly fringe that is not behaving that day.
Mint Crotchet top; Cotton On
Spaghetti Strap & High Wasit Short; Forever 21
Flats; H&M
Bag; Charles and Keith

So do try out the fishtail braids and show it to me :D It's so easy, you can even have style it on a daily basis and say goodbye to the plain ol' french braid ~

Hope y'all are enjoying your holidays as much as I do!ヽ(*⌒∇⌒*)ﾉ Till then,
xx.

10 Things

So I've been wanting to say this for this entire week, so here goes.. *clear throats* I'm finally done with my assignment! :D

PL0054 STATUS: Completed // Submitted
Hopefully all is well, it's definitely the toughest assignment I've did so far. Even finding the evidences can drive me up the walls! Handed it in this morning and literally felt so much relieved (:

So I've decided to do a short post that summarizes my week with just 10 things; just cause I feel like sharing some photos I took with my phone HEH

#1. It's been raining for few weeks now and still is, bummer much. Don't you think? It makes things even gloomier than it is T__T Monsoon season, go away and come another time can?

#2. Last Friday night, we actually stayed up at Mcd till sunrise HAHA speaking of dedication, that's why who ask you do so last minute lahhhh :P 

#3. The sunrise I took that morning (x 

#4. That evening, dropped by Miss Selfridge to get something for Belinda (:
Tried on this dress and omgggggg it was like love at first sight but yeah.

And guess what, my holidays officially started today woohoo *cues Rebecca Black's Friday I shall make full use of it and enjoy every single day to the max before the real business coming up the following week.
