Last month, my relatives came to Singapore for a holiday and my mom and I acted as tour guides. :) Haven't met this uncle of mine for 10 years and never seen his wife and kid. Crazy, right?
Brought them to various shopping malls, to Sentosa etc. My little cousin seems to be a bit over-pampered, being the only child. After interacting with her, I realised that I was the only one who wouldn't let her get away with whatever she wanted xD If I ever become a mom, I will probably be a strict one. Oh well, on the bright side, she's adorable.
Meet Athena
My cool uncle
I like the above photo a lot! :) And of course, the awesome photographer is me! xD Sorry for the self-praise.
Mom and I :)
I didn't take any pics of my aunt with my phone. OOPS. Never mind xD
In other news, Wendy and Brielle gave me a surprise! I was just sitting at a table at the Foodplace in City Hall, waiting for Wendy and Brielle to come back from the rest room when they came back with a chocolate lava cake. I swear it had 2000 calories in it...not that I don't appreciate it lah xD
I am not big on celebrating my birthday though. Personal reasons. :) So if anyone is reading this don't bother celebrating kay! xD BUT I STILL APPRECIATE THAT B AND W DID THIS FOR ME. REALLY SWEET OF THEM. I DID NOT EVEN KNOW HOW TO REACT. Although when Brielle and Wendy were trying to figure out what to give me as a present I totally guessed it man. xD haahha brush up your acting skills people xD joking, joking!
I feel old but I am glad I am alive xD
Dang it, I am going to turn 19 and I am neither a responsible student nor daughter, and neither have I done anything with my life. :/ I feel the pressure to do something with my life already and I suppose I could start with A levels. I AM GOING TO BE HONEST. I PROBABLY FAILED ALL MY H2s FOR PRELIMS. :( I don't know HOW I am going to buck up in time for As...but I don't have a choice. I WILL buck up in time for As. The only problem now is, how am I going to face my parents and my teachers. Omg I can already imagine all their disappointed faces.
There is this motivational speaker that I always listen to. He is called Eric Thomas and he uploads new motivational videos every Monday(for America)/Tuesday(for Singapore). But even he can't motivate me sometimes :( Oh well, I have physics MCQ tomorrow. Hope I don't screw it up real bad. Sigh :(
Haha & Skull concert: Well let's just say that it was awesome! :D They were even better live than on their music videos. They hyped the crowd up really well and threw souvenirs in the form of t-shirts etc. out to us! I almost caught one of their souvenirs but someone snatched it away from me :(
Zhiqi and I, Zhiqi looking so sweet :D
(lazy to upload the other photos plus Blogger keeps screwing up :/ ) Hari Raya Celebration At Shamira's: Went over to Shamira's house to celebrate Hari Raya with her and her family. Met cute baby Emma and adorable Olivia, Shami's nieces. :) Ate a LOT of delicious food courtesy of Shamira's mom!! We also met Stina, a German exchange student who resided in Shamira's house for about 2 weeks I believe! She didn't socialize with us much though. :/ One interesting thing I found out was that she takes 13 subjects. And to think I already had trouble keeping up with my 8 subjects in secondary school... Here are some photos:
Zhiqi and I with sweet Olivia! Look at that smile! :D
Them goodies tasted good!
group photo! German girl beside me!
That's all for now! Will post more after the prelims! :)
If anyone wants to just read about the concert, scroll down!
On Wednesday, I found out that I was selected to be one of the road marshals for JJC's annual road race, which would be held at Chinese and Japanese Garden this year! On the bright side, I wouldn't have to run the 4km race, on the negative side, being a road marshal isn't that fun either. But I guess it's easier than running such a long distance. So after school on Wednesday, the road marshals were taken to the location so that we can check out our stations. There will be two people at each station but I don't know who my buddy is yet. I hope it's Sapphy! :) I like my location, it's near the lake ^^ But I will be directly facing the sun as it rises too -.- Made some new friends while I was there. Ingzhe(sp?), Neha and Jun Jie. :) Nice people!
But my legs were hurting afterwards and I got this HUGE blister which hurt like crap.
_________________________________________________________________________________
On Thursday, the day started off badly as we got back our math test results, and although I passed it, it wasn't well done. Made several stupid careless mistakes. Will try and do better for the next math test...which is actually the common test. *gulp*
Next we had our PE lesson, during which we were supposed to run 10 laps around the school track (4km). Unfortunately the PE lesson started a bit late and I only managed to run 9 laps before the bell rang and we were released. But 9 laps is already a major accomplishment for me. :) Mazi is my motivation!
The only problem is that for every step I took, I was stepping on my blister so it just got worse.
After school, Saph and I went downtown, Scape to be exact, to pick up the stuff I won from 987FM. I won the AOS Anthem package and the Grammy Nominees 2013 Album, which consisted of a total of 6 CDS altogether. I feel blessed :D
I didn't get seats on the MRT on the way there though, so my leg cramps and blister just kept getting worse!
NVM, onto happier things. When Saph and I were within walking distance of Scape, guess who we saw walking around outside Scape? DIVIAN and DEE KOSH, 987FM DJs!
But Saph and I didn't feel that it was right to disturb them so we just acted cool and walked past them. -.- We went up to the 987FM office on the 5th floor and while waiting there, guess who walked in behind us? DIVIAN :D Guess our meeting was fated. Hehehe! After I collected my prizes, Saph and I got to take a photo with Div! Here it is:
I know I look unglam. But I don't care :D
He's such a sweetheart :)
After Saph and I stopped being starstruck, we went out of scape, got some Gong Cha and sat down to chat. Then suddenly this girl came to us and said it's her birthday and asked us to say happy birthday to her while she takes a photo/video of us. Although I was quite shocked, we did it quite willingly. Why not right? :D
And then a student from SIM approached us for help with a project. He used two different cameras to take photos of us and asked us which photo do we prefer. Here are the photos, he sent them to our emails! :)
Saph and I both prefer the 2nd picture! :)
After that we met up with Saph's boyfriend Kenneth and went for dinner at Botak Jones. I found him really friendly and gentlemanly. They make a cute couple! After dinner we went to Cathay Cineleisure so that I could help Keith to buy his Aztec phone case.
Ps. I discovered the next day that I accidentally bought an iphone 5 case instead of iphone 4s case. dumb me
Didn't go to school as I wasn't feeling well. Judy came over after school to catch up with me and Alex came over soon after! We chatted and listened to music until 5 plus. I changed into my concert clothes and we went for dinner at Hong Kah market!
After dinner we went to Jurong Point and parted with Judy there! On the MRT ride to The Star Theatre at Buona Vista, Alex and I were already getting excited! While walking there I ran into my ex-colleague from ION, Eric! :D Said hi to him! I really never thought I'd have the privilege to meet him again!
From the outside
From the inside: it can house 5000 people :)
The stage decorated in black and yellow
I really pity the people on the third storey at the back. I think they can only see a tiny Adam dancing around. xD But never mind, they can hear his awesome voice anyway. When he came out the crowd went wild. By the way, MDA rated the show NC16 so his younger fans couldn't come. For once I am glad I am old. I almost cried when he came out. You know how fans are. It was emotionally overwhelming. And everytime he came near to my side of the audience I screamed my lungs out hoping he would notice me, which I doubt he did, but it was still worth it. If I remember correctly, he started the concert with If I had You. I didn't video anything down as I wanted to focus on him 100% So here's a live from Youtube. It was BETTER than this! Much hotter, I almost died.
His stripped down version of "Whataya want from Me" almost made me break down into tears. AND OUTLAWS OF LOVE WAS SO GOOD I CAN'T USE WORDS TO DESCRIBE IT. Check out the song:
"Everywhere we go, we're looking for the sun. Nowhere to grow old, we're always on the run. They say we're riding hell...well I don't think we will. They've branded us enough, outlaws of love."
Adele may set fire to the rain, but Adam sets fire to the stage. IT WAS HOT LAST NIGHT. From his outfit changes, to his stroking of the mike stand, dancing provocatively with his dancers, the backup singers (he calls them the Bajayjays), the MALE AND FEMALE GUITARISTS WERE HOT. THE DRUMMER WAS AMAZING. It was all just mindblowing. I wanted to be his mike stand. If I was a fan before, I am a MEGA HUGE SUPER BIG HUMONGOUS fan now. And I swear I will go for his 2nd, 3rd...nth concert in Singapore. Now for some pics of Alex, Jiamin and I :)
Love this pic!
After the concert, Alex and I were standing at the shopping mall waiting for the crowd to subside and while doing that we met two familiar people! Firstly, I met my doctor! I always go to him when I am sick! (Ps. I think he's hot) I called out to him and was glad he recognised me! Turns out he had also gone to Adam's concert! So hot doc and I have similar taste in music! YAY! Next we met Kaili from sec school! Was nice to chit chat with her for a while :)
I don't think I can describe the concert anymore in words. SO I shall leave you guys with some hot pics of Adam Lambert to drool over. (I know he is gay.)
How intense is this?
There are many more but I will grow old if I put them all up! Better go now! Thanks for reading! :)
On Tuesday, I had to accompany my mom to Bukit Timah to buy some furniture for our house in the morning. After that, I came back home and Brielle and Wendy came over to my house to watch movies and catch-up. We watched a scary movie first, at Brielle's request. It's called The Sixth Sense. Let me rate it. 4.5/5. :) I really liked it cus the kid in the movie was so cute. I wanted to hug/squeeze him. And the twist at the end was awesome! :) Totally unexpected unless you already read the Sypnosis like Wendy did. LOL.
After that we watched Mean Girls. That movie never gets old. Anyways, Brielle hadn't watched it before. After the movie Wendy and I were like "Welcome to our world. You may finally know how it feels to be us. Stuck among all these plastics." We ate a lot of snacks while watching the movie. :( I worry that I may resemble a hippo by the end of this holiday.
I always love it when Wendy, Brielle and I come together.
Wednesday:
Wednesday was a busy busy day. Had to wake up at 8.30 and start preparing to go to Marina Bay Sands (MBS). So Chin and I met up at 10am and took the train to Bayfront station and we found the Sands Expo and Convention centre really fast. We thought we'd get lost. The queuing up for the tickets for the concert would start at 12pm and Chin and I arrived with at least 10 mins to spare. Contrary to my beliefs, the queue wasn't as long as I thought it would be. We were told to queue up according to our surnames. And I was the first one starting with P. It was pretty hassle free. :) Here's my ticket. :D
After that Chin and I went to the new shopping mall at Buona Vista. It looks nice from outside but I didn't really like it inside. :/ Not a very happening mall. I still like Jurong Point better.
And then after that I went back home to shower and change clothes and then met up with Brielle at Jurong Point to take the train to City Hall. We were like, the first two audience members to arrive. xD We had to walk around and talk crap to entertain ourselves. Wendy arrived just before 7.30pm, which was when the play 4sterhome was supposed to start. My class girls, Zhiqi, Shamira, and Mazi had yet to arrive and it was raining! Since a few other audience members where also MIA, the organizers delayed the starting time to 7.40pm and the girls made it! :D
We all got to watch this play for free thanks to Nurul, who was involved in the play. So thanks Nurul! :) The play was really awesome. It started out really intense and it talked about issues like cutting, bulimia, depression, wanting to die etc. I'm sure it struck a chord with everyone there. In one of the scenes, two of the actors did this really intense contemporary dance that left me, Zhiqi and Shamira covering our mouths as we gasped. Haha! Let's just say there was some violence.
Towards the end of the play, the play got more humorous and the audience had a good laugh. I am so glad I didn't listen to my mother when she told me not to go for it. xD The adults aren't always right. :P
Afterwards, Brielle, Wendy and I bid the other girls goodbye and we went clubbing at Clarke Quay.
JOKING. HAHA. We walked around the streets of Clarke Quay and talked. And Wendy laughed like a mad person. I still don't know why. HAHA. Then the other two had dinner (I was too full to eat) and then we set sail for home. It was such a beautiful night, and the river view was so breathtaking that I honestly did not want to go home.
Reached home at about 11.30PM. :X
Wednesday was really an awesome day, I must say. :)
Thursday:
Planned to go gyming and then study with Ru in the afternoon. But the plan was foiled by my mom who needed me to go places with her again. -.- So I went to Boon Lay to do grocery shopping with mom and then to Hong Kah. I HATE grocery shopping. >< What a boring morning. When I came home I could have gone out with Ru to study but in the end I had a splitting headache so I took an afternoon nap instead.
Woke up at 5pm and realised that An's flight must have left alr! I cursed under my breath and scrambled to text him goodbye. He didn't reply so I must have missed him. Damn :/
Ok now I'm going to rant. An went to Vietnam, Brielle is going to Hong Kong this Saturday, Jessica is going to Japan with our school's guitar club, Limin is in Auckland, Quan is also in Vietnam, Rennes is in China, and Yvonne is in Perth. :X And I am stuck in Singapore. Can't wait for after A Levels, I wanna go overseas!!
Ok, I'm done ranting now. Shall go and watch TV. Think there's a new movie on. :)
Went to the gym this morning with Chin and his bro Kai. Worked out after what felt like ages. Damn my weight :(
AND AND AND Psy is coming to Singapore and holding a free concert at Marina Bay Sands but only 4000 people can get in! And and and I got in! :D SO excited! And I told my classmates and close friends and the drama peeps to go for it too on FB but they were either not online or not interested. However, Chin also got in! So this Wednesday we have to go down to MBS to get the tickets and the concert is on SATURDAY. I can't wait! I love the Muttons because they're the ones that announced how to get the tickets on FB. :)
And on Wednesday evening I am also going to watch Nurul's play Foster Home. Wednesday is going to be a LOVELY day. :)
