Be brave.

Hello!
Haven't posted in a while! This is the last weekend before my prelims start and I'm not sure if I should be worried or not but I'm taking things really slow! Did a little SS this morning, then I got busy in the kitchen preparing lunch with my mom. I reckon the food turned out pretty good :) We were watching Masterchef Australia yesterday (officially my new favourite show) and during the Masterclass, Gary taught the contestants how to cook this really fast and easy fish & mussels dish with a basil butter cream sauce, so we decided to try it out! Really appreciate how they put the recipes online :) the photo of the final dish is on Instagrammmm.
If you don't watch Masterchef Australia, you should! It's much better than the US one in my opinion, coz the vibes are super friendly and you get to learn some really neat tricks instead of seeing the judges put down the contestants all the time. And the contestants are all really nice to each other it's unreal! Even when they disagree they do it in a really civilized way. My bias is still in the competition woohoo!! So are my favourite people! But I already know who won hahahaha.
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to prelims ending ok. I know everyone not too keen on that because it would just mean O's are getting nearer but I really want prelims to end because it's better than nothing. And I would appreciate some temporary freedom of this study-all-day-study-all-night cycle....getting quite sick of it. I think one reason why I'm so chill 2 days before my first paper is coz the first week of prelims is pretty alright, just languages, math and SS, which I'm fine with. Well except SS, it requires a lot of effort hahaha but I figured I can afford to not go full-force just yet. Listening to me talk about academics is boring so why don't you listen to me wish Hannah a sweet 16 instead and go wish her too?! :)
Yep, 17 August today, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANNAH TAN!! You're probably gonna see this some day hahaha hope you had a blast glam princess #2 HAHA :)
I think my computer is at risk of exploding any time soon hahaha seriously every time I start it up it makes a really alarming beeping sound and requires me to press the F1 button to continue, but I never ever read the error/warning message I just press F1 and move on with life hahaha so yeah and the fan thing inside is really noisy which is probably not a good thing.
Do you think my sentences are very long? I need to stop writing long sentences all the time. Practising for English paper on Monday hahaha.
If you signed up for the Colour Run this weekend, good for you! I wish I were you! I think it's going to be amazing! And if you're having your exams next week I'm giving you a virtual high five and best of luck! We can study hard together but please relax too! I enjoyed typing this post hahaha I'm in such a weird mood today I feel like a hippie. Oh yeah I forgot to mention: highlight of last week was Mr Tan treating our geog class to 3 pints of really good ice cream!! So thankful for that!! Mr Tan is so nice and encouraging he makes me want to do well for geog. In fact last week most of the teachers were sort of nicer to us and trying to be funny...or maybe it's just me. But I like it.
Have a great week ahead guys I do hope I can show you some of the outfits I put together after exams! And I saw this somewhere I'm going to paraphrase coz I can't remember her exact words. It's from Gwyneth Paltrow's stylist: quality is not about how expensive something is, it's about how good it looks and how good it feels. That's something to live by.
