The rain, the winter spring has made us fade away
I really wonder how you feel on these nights so alone
Hey guys! Good news! I got my iPhone so it's easier for me to blog next time! I'm blogging from my phone right now. (: Finally, after such a long wait! Just a little update here 'cause my blog is always so dead and all.
This week is a boring week. Hia went to Genting for a vacation and I'm stuck here in Singapore. I'm gotta be honest, I kinda miss her though. Hope she doesn't read this post! hahaha(: Holidays, why do you pass so quickly! D: It's almost one month left of freedom and we're back to school. Sigh, I don't know how the Americans make school seem so fun and carefree! >.< I haven't done what I wanted to do, just going for training and slacking off everyday. I really need to start being efficient. I've said that so many times already lol. December will be a month of efficiency and accomplishment. Yes it will!
Anyway, there's also 7 more trainings left! Time passes so quickly. Yesterday after training, Gwyneth, Flora, Bernadette, Michelle and I had Long John Silvers for lunch. VERY SINFUL INDEED. D:
Anyway, Blogshop Festival 2012 is in 2 days' time! Many blogshops were giving out VIP Passes, which entitles you to enter an hour earlier than the starting time. I entered 5 contests and I won a pass from Blogshop Festival itself! Yay, I can't wait! I hope it would be fruitful. (:
After that in the evening, I'll attend Ziying's birthday party, and lastly on Sunday would be my class's chalet! I can't wait to see 2 Truth again. :D 3 events on 2 days, woah! Okay, I believe I've blogged enough, see you guys soon! (:
A touching sight indeed, falling in love with this. Honestly, I still don't get why so many people hate CeCe. People can change, and don't they deserve second chances? Not everything is fake y'know. I think her performance during Thanksgiving week was the best yet, it should not fall into the Bottom 2! Oh wells, people judge by first impressions. I think Beatrice was great too, they don't deserve to be in the Bottom 2 last week. ):
It's window shopping with Audrey and Gwyneth today! Well, not exactly 'window shopping'. I bought pens! hahaha, that's when you can't spent money on clothes, you spend it on something else. (:
ootd!
(I'm like the centre of attraction 'cause both of them look so black :P )
First stop: Forever 21
It's my first time wearing heels! It's so high I can just rock forward and fall down. :P
Second stop: Diva
It's only $3.30!!! My mum will probably kill me for this 'cause she doesn't like skulls. Oh wells. :3
Third stop: H&M
Their dressing room is so big and spacious! I love the galaxy top I'm wearing and the tribal shirt hanging there!
Hia tied a bun so it seems like the hat is hovering on her head. :D
And never would I thought that H&M sells these retarded shades!
Notice how the beanie matches with my dress? (:
Oh why am I friends with them .___.
And then we break for lunch! Both of them were struggling with the spicyness of the meepok while I'm happily eating my BFF. (:
Fourth stop: Beadstreet
Final stop: A&F
Saving the best for the last. We got a cute model this time! omg, I can't spaz here sorry. :P My first perfume would be from A&F. (:
Heyyyo! I realised I haven't blogged about last Sunday, so here it is! The day after Sports Trip, the Sec 2 Sprinters had a party at Thea the llama's house. It's like I haven't seen them enough, 'cause it's our 5th day seeing one another! It's nothing very grand and exaggerative, we just watched HIMYM all the way until close to midnight! I always thought HIMYM is another naggy drama series but it's actually quite addictive! All the stupid relationship problems and their funny and sexual language omg. (: We did play some games like Monopoly Deal and Twister but eventually, we gave up halfway for the television! hahaha :D Thea's house is so posh and her koi fishes are so huge! We were feeding the fishes and watching the fight for food. :P I was afraid to touch them at first because they might attack me but I realised, they don't have teeth. -.- LOL! We had a healthy dinner (rice, sausages and cucumbers) to make up for all the buffets we had during Sports Trip.
Gwyneth, Denise and I stayed over at Thea's house. (: What's a sleepover without staying up late? Thea wanted to stay up to watch 5 minutes of F1 at 3am. O: We stalked lots of people, played cards, watched Running Man and doing those retarded stunts until 3am then we talked until 4am! That's the latest time I've ever slept, and guess what, we have training later. Mood spoiler. D: Thea's bed is so comfy hahaha! The next day, we only woke up 30 min before training. What we've all learnt in Camp Nomad is to be superduper fast! So we got everything ready and reached school 5 min after training starts. (: Though we're late, that's quite an achievement for me 'cause y'know, I'm a slow person. :P We're like 4 rebellious kids being late for training hahaha! I love my sprinters so much and I look forward to the next Sprinters' party! How about every week? hahaha(:
Disclaimer: Sorry for all the words and no pictures for this post! All the pictures are taken by the teachers and I have no idea if they're gonna upload it somewhere. Good luck reading, it's gonna be long. (:
Day 1; 14 Nov 2012
Be ready to be disconnected from the world for 4 days. Yup, we surrendered all our valuables to the teachers for the whole Sports Trip. No phones, no wallets, no listening to music in earphones, no being anti-social. hahaha. My assigned buddy is Claris! (: We took the coach to Gopeng (Ipoh) and reached there at about 6pm. It's a total of 11 hours of eating and sleeping, like a pig. For our first break for some snacks, Claris bought small fish crackers so when her fishes became crumbs, she'll go "My fishes died!" LOL she's so retarded! :P
I totally forgot that Camp Nomad is inside a kampong, my expectations were a little higher then reality. 35 people had to squeezed inside the back of the lorry to bring us to the campsite. Oh wells, gotta get use to it 'cause that's the only vehicle we had. Our camp is literally in the 'forest', no kidding! There are 5 dorms and a small shelter as the canteen. The toilets, you can never imagine them. It's just a big round pail-looking thing with a cutout door. No lights, no hooks, nothing but the shower directly on top. That's how basic the camp facilities are. It felt like we're back to the past, where there's no technology at all. We are trained to survive in the wild lol. There are disgusting bugs everywhere, and a cat that loiters around! I hate cats. D: However, Mr Kuah loves cats! Just a few strokes from him makes the cat fall in love with him instantly. FORBIDDEN LOVE HAHAHA! :D We were all watching him in case he didn't wash his hands. :P
Showering time, the worse thing of all. Now I know the importance and the value of my toilet at home! (: We all had to use our torchlights to shine in the toilet from above so that we can see. It's so inconvenient and troublesome. ): We can't go without our torchlights, it's so dark! Our beds are double-bunked and I took the top bed (I was afraid that the bed would collapse lol) I'm so looking forward to the next day, it's white water rafting and high elements course! (:
Day 2; 15 Nov 2012
When someone wakes up, everyone wakes up. I woke up at 5.30am. O: My group did white water rafting first! We took the lorry again. -.- The current was quite strong and the water was so cold! First, we were made to float down the river until a rope is thrown to us. At the first rapid, I think everyone literally crashed down! It's like that feeling when you're drowning. I was with Natasha, Faith and another swimmer/hockey player. It was the best activity ever, a fun experience for us. (: Going down the rapid was the best! Before the rapid comes, the guide would shout 'boom boom', signaling everyone to get inside the raft (we were sitting on the edge when rowing) and then we just go down like that! I kept screaming, heh. :P Natasha was hoping that all of us would capsize but she capsized herself first, and even lost her shoe! aiyoooooo. When we were waiting for other rafts, she was playing with the paddle, and the paddle floated away. LOL SO EPIC! :D What sucks was sitting in the middle of two people who loves to splash water! I was practising to splash water with my paddle and didn't realise that I was actually splashing the guide behind me, so he splashed back at me. That stupid Natasha wanted to splash the guide but instead, all the water was on my face! I'm like being splashed on both sides. :B
After lunch, high elements time! My team started off by playing 'Mother of Knots', which is basically getting the 'mother' to untangle everyone. Then, we went to see bats in a cave! I'm kinda scared of these black creatures. X: There are 2 ropes for us to cross the cave with our bodies moving sideways. I was so scared that I might slip and fall into the water and wake the bats up! The bats' eyes are like shining it's so freaky and cool at the same time. Finally, we got to attempt the high elements! The Mountain School made use of trees and the nature to create a course of obstacles for us that includes super thin wooden planks hanging down for us to cross. I'm not exactly afraid of heights but it's really scary, especially when we have to do the hooking on the strings ourselves! Half the time, we were transferring the hooks from one string to another. After I completed Rock 2, I really felt that accomplishment in me. It's like, omg I actually completed that! The last part was the most difficult because we had to climb down this thick tree trunk and we might just slip and fall into the leaves anytime (even though there are hooks). It's indeed a challenge and a test of courage, to overcome our fears and complete every obstacle right 'til the end.
Back to our dorm, a snake appeared beside Gwyneth's bed. D: We were not sleeping so Mdm Lim told us all to stand outside and look at the stars. The sky was amazing, it's all glittering and brightly lit by the stars! We can never see that in Singapore. Anyway, it's out last night sleeping in those creaky beds! We're moving on to luxury tomorrow. :D
Day 3; 16 Nov 2012 Caving; it's a whole new experience. I always thought that caves are underground. O: This cave is so huge and filled with unique shapes of the stones. With a little imagination, simply join the dots and different things and animals can be formed. (: The stairs are quite steep and never ending, it felt like training! Ms Lim was suggesting that if we go for caving often and train ourselves, we might become champions next year. LOL! After the dry tour, it's the wet tour. I wasn't looking forward to that 'cause it looks disgusting but it turns out not bad! Yes I really mean it when I said it's not bad lol. The water was really cold and it was really dark, but it's a once in a lifetime experience! (: Claris kept clinging on to me, wait more like I'm clinging to her 'cause I was afraid that I would kick a big rock and fall or something. :B The water could go up to our waist, and for some small tunnels, we actually had to bend down on our knees and climb our way through the murky water! It's disgusting but we got used to it somehow. The guide also told us to off our torchlights and experience total darkness for a while. After walking for so long, we finally reached our starting point! I see light again. :D
It was a mad rush from queuing in the toilet to change our clothes to having packet lunch and boarding the ferry to Pangkor Island. Pangkor Island looks quite relaxing because it's has the sun, the sand and the sea. (: There was a taxi to drive us to our destination as the island was quite big! Mr Kuah made another cat fall in love with him again. I can literally imagine him as a man with lots of cats in the house hahaha. (: My group went for kayaking first. I was with Faith, a really good partner. She was so strong, and she was the one controlling the directions of the boat. Whenever my arms are tired of paddling, I know I have her. hahaha! (: We paddled from the beach all the way to a small island, where we proceed to snorkeling. Before that, we had to do some 'mountain climbing' to get to the other side of the island. It was so scary, especially when we were climbing down. The hill is so steep! Snorkeling was a horrible experience, I didn't even enjoy it. ): Firstly, I was worried that I might sink even though I had a life jacket. The water went into my eyes and stung them so I can't really see anything in the water. >.< Someone saw a clown fish! Wait, but aren't clown fishes located at the bottom of the sea with the corals? I don't know, maybe something that looks like it. I was so disappointed. ):
I'm rooming with Claris, Shona and Jolie for the one-night stay at Pangkor Island Beach Resort! The restaurant looks like Marché, and the food was heavenly. ♥ We were so deprived of and looking forward to this, and it's finally here. :D I think I ate a little too much though. :P Peak Kee ate a whole plate of dinner + cream of asparagus + a whole plate of desserts! And she's still so skinny. >.< Ms Lim scolded us again for some reasons, it was a bit mood-ruining. I mean, who would be so stupid to go out to the beach and risk their lives when it's so dark?! Just saying. We weren't allowed to loiter around so we made ourselves cosy in the room. X Factor was showing on the television, I bet everyone was watching that at night! (: Time for some good night's sleep for such a long day. (:
Day 4; 17 Nov 2012
Breakfast was another delicious meal, loved it! We had time to explore the resort before packing up and leaving the place. :D I was strolling in the beach and catching hermit crabs with Audrey and Gwyneth. I love them so much. ♥ The bus ride back was much livelier, I guess we really bonded quite well as a track team. I had a chance to talk to new faces from other event groups. (: Gossip sessions = Claris talking and everyone listening. :D Did I mention that she sleeps like a turtle? On the bus/ferry, normal people would sleep sitting down but she chooses to face the chair back and crouch in a turtle position, like the position when you're praying. Occasionally, she would fall out of her chair! The funniest sleeping position I've ever seen. :P Mdm Lim was listening and laughing with us too. When everyone got back their phones, the first thing we did was to check the results of X Factor. Like totally LOL! I was so shocked and depressed that America didn't support Jennel Garcia as much. ): She deserves better and should stay in the competition! Sorry for digressing. :P Anyway, despite all the scoldings we got, it was one of the best trips in my lifetime. Those experiences were so memorable and unforgettable, and what's more than bonding and having fun with the team? (: We see each other almost everyday but we never got to bond due to our different event groups and all. Claris was an awesome buddy, I'm glad to be paired with her! ♥ How many times do you get to do those dangerous and wild activities?! And ending up with a great resort, the $150 was totally worth it. I hope I get a chance to go for Sports Trip again. (:
10/11/12; a special day for Enchancers in Singapore! Greyson Chance visited Singapore again. :D It's been 7 months since I saw him, how I miss him so much! I made it sound like he's my friend lol. But who knows? (: hahaha! The previous day, I was so panicky 'cause nobody was free, so thankful for Vanessa! (: I went for Greyson Chance's concert with her this year. I'm so hyped up, my album will be autographed by him! YAYAYAYAYAYAY. It starts at 12pm but I was there at 9am, hehehe. (: There wasn't much people this time compared to the previous autograph session at Bugis. A while later, Vanessa and her friend Sining came. We had to wait for 3 hours, but it's all worth it! This time, not many people appeared so everyone's album got autographed. The security guards and the management people were putting up barriers to form queues. I had the priority queue pass but Vanessa didn't have so I stayed in the normal queue. WE WERE THE FIRST ONES IN THE NORMAL QUEUE :D We really didn't expect that! The photographers took some pictures of us, hopefully our pictures make it through to the video compilation of Greyson's visit to Singapore!
Some things I wrote for Greyson Chance. (:
I bought the bundle pack so I got this shirt, yay! :D
Hot FM was the sponsor of the event! I was expecting them to give out some free stuff but they didn't. Oh wells. Adam was entertaining us. (:
Boy Thunder came too! He asked Adam to pretend to be Greyson Chance and test our reaction when he comes up on stage. omg they were so funny! They also picked 5 fans for Greyson to follow on twitter. I wanted to raise my hand, but to think of it, my twitter name is embarrassing. hahaha no thanks. :P As time gets closer to 12, we were so nervous! We were hyperventilating and planning on what to do when we go up on stage! hahaha, typical fangirls. (: 5 girls won the 91.3 contest so they get to take a picture with him! no fair ): He filmed an episode of MTV Sessions in RWS yesterday night too, unfortunately I wasn't one of the lucky 200 fans who won passes to hear him sing.
HE'S 15 MIN LATE. Gosh, he became so tall! I always thought he was my height, maybe because of his growth spurt hahaha.
He's so humble and nice, looking up to everyone and thanking them for buying his album. (: After he cleared the priority queue, it's our turn. My heart was like racing omg, it feels like a dream! We kinda observed the others and realised that we have to stretch out our hand to get a handshake from him, so we did! Second time touching his hand hahaha. :D Everything happened so fast!
Eventually, he finished signing all the albums, but it's not even 2 yet. ): We expected him to stay much longer, but oh wells. My day was made. (:
A paparazzi picture of him lol!
Everyone followed him and tried to trace his routes after he left. I guess that staircase leads to the carpark, so we were frantically searching for the carpark. Man, we should have done our research on Plaza Sing first! Heard that he was leaving Singapore to Manila after that. I would be in Expo and he would be in Changi Airport! So close but so far. hahaha! After that, Pastamania for lunch!
So that basically concludes my day. (: Pictures with our faces are all with Vanessa and she hasn't send them to me yet! I'll be leaving for Sports Trip in a few hours' time and I'm still blogging now, heh. :P I'll be away for 4 days, miss me guys! hahaha, I'll try to update more yeah? See you next week! (:
Camp, it's like half-good-half-bad. It started off quite badly, 'cause I had training before the camp and I was so tired already. I thought everyone would go some place in Singapore together, but it turned out that there are groups assigned to us. I was with Liying and Clare, so sorry for spoiling your moods because of my tiredness hahaha. We were the only group who had to walk outdoors! Everyone carried so little stuff but I had to carry my heavy bag plus my shoe bag. >.< We went to explore Joo Chiat, which is somewhere in Katong. We learnt about the olden Singapore and how rich Joo Chiat (a person) was previously. He had the whole movie theatre to himself last time! But the only things we looked at were 'beautiful' and tall windows of the buildings. lol. I didn't take any pictures, in fact I didn't use my camera for the whole camp! Every picture below is taken from Audrey. (: It started to rain after that so we were the first group to go back to school. We had an hour to spare before the barbecue comes to us. it was great seeing half of 2 Truth and bonding with them again. (:
Barbecue was awesome! We were really hopeless 'cause the fire just won't start no matter how hard we tried to make it spread! Audrey wanted to sneak a piece of charcoal back for her mum hahaha. Everyone was already cooking their food except our group. :P But Shuning came to the rescue! hahaha :D We had quite a lot of food, and everything is free! Yeah! I think this is the reason why most people attended the camp lol. We had fried chicken wings, sausages, nuggets, garlic bread, satay, corn and many many more! Most of our food were burnt though. I couldn't tell between raw food and cooked food! I think everyone went back home with diarrhea. :P Some classes played songs and it's like a party in the canteen. I was one of the most 'high' ones, I was singing loudly to the songs. :D
The school was so dark at night. All lights are off except the canteen so it's a little ... eerie and scary. Liying wanted to bring us to the dark to tell ghost stories! Bleh, I'll never do that! Overall, it was really fun! Too bad I couldn't go for the second day 'cause Greyson Chance is coming! :D
This is how I eat my chicken wing, without my hands! Smart right, I look so glam. HAHAHA.
2 Truth 2012 ♥
Something for Amanda for her birthday, I really hope she frames it up! (:
