Anyway, you must be wondering what the title is about. I received an email from La Tarte Tropezienne several weeks ago keen in sending me some of their Tarte Tropezienne to give my feedback on. 

However, they said whether I want to post it up on my blog is entirely my choice.

I thought these are some good stuff to share, so why not? :D

As their saying goes,

"LET THEM EAT TARTE, FORGET MACARONS".

As you can see, they look similar in terms on their shape and size. Call me a mountain tortoise but I haven't tried macarons before. *yes, i'm serious

But I can still tell you my honest opinions of these Tarte Tropezienne without comparing with macarons & you can decide if you want to try them or not.

I was given 4 flavours, namely,

- Original Vanilla
- Chocolate
- Lime
- Hazelnut (or green tea)

lol, ok. I tried to find out what the flavours are by asking the owner but she doesn't remember about the last one so, i'm sorry!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think what makes them special is the outside. The outside were made so that they have the texture of crispness and softness at the same time.

The one in original vanilla flavour tasted like your typical bread with cream in it.

The one in lime was really refreshing because you seldom have this kind of dessert, sour. So in my opinion, you should totally try the one in lime!

Don't limit yourself to these flavours that I have tried though!

Since school and studies is basically conquers my world at this point in time, what else is better to talk about than school. Wheee. (Sarcasm intended) 

It is times like now that I recall back when I was in primary school, feeling nostalgic when I think about where I am now and where I was before. 

This is not another sad post. It will be a post filled with things that I remember which makes me smile. Basically things that I remember seeing and hearing in my primary school where I don't really do now anymore. 

A post you can relate to.

I was in the same primary school as my cousin, Valerie(whom you guys may be quite familiar with already). 

So you can probably imagine why I would  prefer my primary school days than secondary school days anytime. 

Yes yes, I do know majority of you would choose your secondary school years over primary. 

But tbh, it wasn't solely based on that that I prefer my primary school days.

We were so cute back then*shh it's true, always meeting each other for for meals during RECESS time. Haha, still remember the term recess time? Yeah I bet you do! :D 

We weren't in the same class but were always praying that we will year after year. Because that was how clingy we were back in those days lol (don't judge)

So that's the reason why we have to look for each other so desperately in the CANTEEN like some lovers lost in the maze trying to find one another. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was a very quiet girl back then and still am one now. Idk what it is with me that makes it so hard for me to start a conversation with someone. Most of the time I find some things unnecessary to be said. Maybe that's why. 

Anyway, there was this one time I was in a rush to go to the toilet I ran and accidentally bumped into my music teacher and stepped on her foot or something. 
I am pretty sure I didn't step THAT hard and she had to be so melodramatic to cry THAT loud like a baby and glared at me like I killed her whole family. WOMEN. -.- (getting to that age now. not)

Speaking of music, RECORDER comes to mind!

This thing I assume everyone has/had a chemistry with. Miss it so much! Not sure if you're still keeping it?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You guys remember OHP? Hahaha, idk why I laugh but man it was such a memory. I was so shy and timid whenever my teacher appoint me to borrow OHP from other class, I panicked. EVEN BROOMS and DUSTPANS.
Does your class use play with the OHP when the teacher's not around making shadows and stuff? Don't think that's a question. -hi 5-




And then we would need TRANSPARENCIES to show. I have an obsession with the sound that thing makes. I'm weird.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I still remember how everyone has to do their duty in cleaning the classroom according to the DUTY ROSTER.
How I loved cleaning the whiteboard best. I think it's safe to say everyone has a thing for cleaning whiteboards back in those days. Am I wrong? ;) *no, i'm not

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I forgot which year it was when I got swimming lessons. I like it when I get to see Valerie more during swimming lessons but hate it when it comes to the coach because I remember him being a very sarcastic person -.- But now to think of it, I don't think I would hate him so much anymore. Haha. I was a kid!

Everyone was supposed to take the swimming test on the last day and do the style that they're most comfortable with.
Guess what I did. Not sure what the style is called but it's the most basic one ever. One where you learn on the very first lesson. Kicking of legs wtf LOL
I passed with a Beginner Cert. HAHAHA

When people ask me if I know how to swim, I proudly say, "NO".

Sometimes after school, Valerie and hung out at school for a lil bit before going home. We were kind of into HOPSCOTCH. Nowadays you don't see people playing or mentioning much of it anymore. Super fun memory to recall if you ask me. :D


My mom taught me the best weapon to play a hopscotch is a rubber band. WORKED LIKE A CHARM.

When I was clueless about that, what we would usually use was out wallet and you know how fat wallets filled with cash works. BAD. lol, jk, my wallet's fat but not filled with cash.

It was always so hard when there are 2 objects at numbers 1 & 2 and you had to jump to 3. Since I failed standing broad jump almost all the time.... *no explanation needed
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aside from all the things and terms and activities I miss so so much, there are the doors, the hallways/corridors, the tables and chairs, the staircases, the floors etc. that I wish I could see/walk through/touch again.

What are the things that YOU miss about your old school?

Of course, a dress was given for me to change into before the facial starts. 

Seeing as it was my first time doing that, I wasn't sure if I was to take off my bra or not lol. Pretty embarrassing. 

To begin with, I was so enjoying the life of doing nothing almost everyday, focusing working on my blog, helping my mom with housework, trying to attend as many  events as possible that no matter how long the holiday was, it didn't seem enough. University life just seemed so unreal even just the day before it started. Maybe to an extent I could consider myself pretending that it was not happening. 

Days of late night blogging, late tv shows, long naps are just gone like that. 

You know how the first day of everything gives you butterflies in your stomach?  The fact that I was almost late added more butterflies in my stomach. 

Luckily it didn't take much time for me to find my lecture room. I had no idea the lecture room would be filled with hundreds of people. WHAT. Exactly. 

Of course the first thing when I stepped into the lecture room was to think of where to sit. Well nobody knows me, nobody knows I'm a nerd or a cool person and so I decided to be the smart person to sit at the front. 

Call me whatever you want I don't care. It was a good seat. Good view of the screen & good view of the lecturer. 

I was afraid of lectures being boring and acting as lullabies but I loved the lecturer. He was so entertaining it was hard to fall asleep. One lecture and I'm sure he would be the best lecturer I would ever had. He was only taking us for 3 days, sadly. 

If I have had a bad lecturer for that particular module, I would have burst into tears on my first day. But no, just the 3rd day when he left and when the module got a lot more complicated to understand. 

In summary, lots of hard work has to be put in. From paying attention during lectures to working on tutorials at home.

I could imagine those who chose not to attend lectures would have a hard time understanding what's written in the lecture notes. 

It doesn't feel like poly life where you can just not pay attention for 5 mins because once you lost attention, you lost it. 

One single lecture of 3 hours holds so much knowledge you have to take in. Emphasizing, in one day; in 3 hours. 

Thinking about how I am going to store all of that information in my tiny brain for EXAM makes me sick. 

And if that isn't stressing enough, I have lectures everyday from Monday to SATURDAY for the first 2 weeks. If you gone through that, you wouldn't be thinking "just 2 weeks" because I know that is probably what you are thinking right now. 

When everybody is going TGIF, I will be responsible for creating TGIS. 

After these 2 weeks are over, I am not looking forward to needing to form groups because I will probably be the one in need of one when everybody has their friends in the same class. 

Right now, there is already an assignment awaiting to be completed. Unfortunately, I am the only one in my group studying an extra module so when my group members can spend time researching for the assignment, I can spend my time totured by lectures.. 

Good lecturers who are entertaining and won't put me to sleep. 

Me to turn into a genius so understanding every lecture and completing every assignment would be a breeze. 

Better timetable with enough time to do tutorials and revise what lecturers go through every week. 

Be consistent in being hardworking.

DON'T GIVE UP. 

Statue of Liberty

(covering her face)

Very creative huh? 

Anyway, I paired it with shorts with the choice of tucking in the shirt and also non-tucked.

Really depends on where you're going or which one you prefer. If you want to look sexier, in my opinion, not tucking it in would be better. 

Say if you want to be cuter and seem more sporty, tucking it in would be a good choice :D

MATERIAL: 

100% Cotton

Just a note about its material, the cotton is not of those heavy ones. 

Because I do realize it defers when it comes to tee-shirts which are made of cotton.

This tee-shirt however, is light and hence, good for Singapore because of the hot weather! :D 

Not like extremely thick but neither is it extremely thin.

Price:

1 shirt - $18

2 shirts - $30

I really wish I had slimmer and V-shaped face to look good in every angle -.-

Anyone want to help me with that? Anyone?

Tbh, I only took 2 pics throughout my whole time there because it was such a rush with all the activities there. BUT! I was smart to plan to make video while I was there. -smirks-

Because of the water ride we missed on out Genting trip(if you haven't read about it), we make do with a water ride at the Carnival. Of course it is definitely not as fun as the one in Genting but oh well. 

Besides that ride, we tried their 4D ride with the movable chairs and 3D glasses all. That, was definitely wayyy better than the 4D ride we had in Genting. Fair enough. Haha

There is actually a museum there filled with things that got to do with Singapore and that's when I decided

TO BECOME A TOURIST.

Taking pictures with road signs. Oh you know. But hey, they're cool signs! & they're in a museum! (in defence)

Those are the only 2 pictures I took so despite how stupid they are, YOU APPRECIATE. YOU UNDERSTAND ME. 

If you haven't already follow me on Instagram & you'd better do, I did update it with some other cool stuff I saw at Singapore Discovery Centre! :D

Alternatively, you can watch my video to know which ride I took, how the carnival looks like and observe how awkward I am on cam. (which I think would be the choice you will pick because you are that mean but still, follow me on Instagram!) 

Hope you enjoyed it although it wasn't very interesting! & please be lenient and don't think of DISLIKING my vid! -angry face-
