Movies, getting tickets to concert, and watching a play

Tuesday:

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. :)

Toodles. :)

Gym and PSY at Marina Bay Sands

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. :)

Literature retreat

Back from Literature Retreat! 

It was pretty awesome! 

First Day:

Our drama coach was called Mitch and he was from Inward Bound, which by the way, is the same company that we worked with for our drama SYF. We started the day off by playing games which were really fun. Had me in stitches. And then we play role-playing games which was really fun too! And in the late afternoon we were separated into different groups and we started to do more serious acting.

In the evening, we went to the Singapore Repertory Theater to watch the play God of Carnage. 

I know it doesn't look that grand on the outside but it's really grand on the inside. :)

                                                     Sat with Mazi on the bus

More pictures can be found on my Facebook page. Created an album. :)

2nd day:

On the 2nd day each group picked themes that they would like to work with and my group picked Acceptance and Time. 

At the end of the lit retreat there was a showcase where each group acted out our play for all the other groups from other classes and teachers and coaches to see. My group's play was about accepting Homosexuality. 

Other plays that were awesome include Wendy's group's play. Wen Lin was damn funny!! Overall the play had me in stitches. And Douglas and Matthew were just UH-MAZING. 

So yea, the lit retreat was awesome and a big boohoo for those lit students who couldn't or didn't wanna go. :P

Ps. Adrian Pang and Lea Salonga are such awesome actors. They acted in God of carnage! I have never laughed so much during a play in my life. :D And never heard so many vulgarities on stage either. 5/5 stars man! 

Last day of school!!

Last day of school baby! :) 

Today was Ms. Aisha's last day at school so our class presented her with a board that has all our pictures stuck on them as well a personal message. Mr Ang is also leaving next year so we also prepared one for him. 

After that I went to IMM with my mom and met up with Wendy. We window shopped there and then went to Jurong POint to continue shopping. Mom went home on her own. I tried on this dress at Cache Cache and fell in love with it. I shall lose some weight and then go and buy it next month. PLEASE WAIT FOR ME DRESS. DON'T LET ANYONE ELSE BUY YOU. 

Somehow my legs are aching a lot from all the walking around. I am such a weakling. :/ Anyways, it's the Lit retreat tmr!! Can't wait!! :) 

Unlucky days, lit retreat and a play to catch!

 Hey guys. I got bad news. I didn't win the lucky draw :( There goes my chance to go to LA. :( Never mind. I will go there when I am older. I swear! 

Anyways, I can't wait for the literature retreat this weekend! It sounds like so much fun! Hopefully I will be able to act because I know this retreat will involve a lot of drama. 

And secondly, I am going to watch Nurul act in a play this coming Nov 28. Can't wait for that too! Love being involved in the aesthetics~  

General Paper lectures are so damn boring these days. I WANT MR SHERMANN BACK ><

He's the only one that can make lessons a bit less dry. 

Guess I will go and do my chemistry now or something. 3 days to Holidays! 

YesKids! CIP and The Voice USA Grand Finals

The Voice USA is having their grand finals this December and 987FM is giving away an all expense paid ticket to Los Angeles! :D And all we have to do is be the first one to call in when the cue is given. And guess what? I was the first one to call in on 16 NOV. However, there is still one more qualifying round to go. I will have to call in on 19 NOV as well. PLEASE let me get in. I want this so bad! 

Firstly, I really want to go to America. I haven't been there before! And LOS ANGELES is the city of dreams, it's Holly freaking Wood. This is the opportunity of a lifetime. And it would be the perfect end to 2012 for me.

Secondly, I am 18 and haven't done anything exciting with my life before. Traveling abroad alone would be so damn cool. :) 

Thirdly, I really love the Voice, the judges and the contestants! Seeing all of them upclose would be a dream come true. 

BUT my parents are saying that even if I DO get the ticket, they won't let me go. Some bullshit about safety issues. I think I will be more safe there then here. Because If i DO get the ticket and I don't go, I will go insane and commit suicide. -.- I am not kidding. It will be a regret for the rest of my life and I don't want to regret this for the rest of my life. 

If I get the ticket and I don't go, I will feel so f*ked up. :) 

The YesKids CIP project that we all have been preparing for for the past week, culminated in a success today! I think the kids enjoyed themselves! :) And I met two new nice guys called Wei Hao and Cynric. They were really good with the kids :))

Now...random stuff about X Factor: 

Firstly, Jennel and Lyric 145 went home from X factor!  So upsetting...

Secondly, Jennel and Drew are together! So cool! :D

Winter Time is hiring people for their NorthPoint fair again and my boss asked if we want to work again. I am considering going with Wei Chin. :) He suddenly says he wants to work. Why not eh? :) 

Well, toodles, I shall go YouTube or something :)

X Factor Live Week 5 review

Jennel's song: Proud Mary by Tina Turner 

My views: It suited her personality so it was a good choice. She totally rocked it so I feel like she's safe and definitely won't be in the bottom two. My only problem is I felt like the song is not relevant enough but that doesn't really matter I guess. :)

Tate Stevens' song: From this Moment by Shania Twain

My views: Once again, I feel that the song wasn't relevant enough. However, that doesn't really matter because Tate is awesome in his own way and he sings with such emotions it can bring tears to one's eyes. This song was a tribute to the love of his life, his dear wife and I bet she is really proud! Simon Cowell even said that he would be happy to sign the $5 million cheque and give it to Tate! So all the best to Tate, he is definitely something different and worth keeping in the competition! 

Diamond's song: Halo by Beyonce

My views: Awesome song choice! Diamond gave a really strong performance. It's not easy to live up to Beyonce's standards but she did pretty well! Like L.A said, she had "...really big shoes to fill." No bottom two for her! No way in hell. 

Ps. I liked her earrings. :D

Beatrice Miller's song: Time after Time by Cyndi Lauper

My views: Nice song choice, I liked it. It wasn't too impressive but it is X Factor worthy. And Beatrice definitely has potential. She just has to keep practicing and growing. One of my favourites. She deserves to stay.
