I AM GETTING SO FAT! ROAR

Christmas is well, over. AND IT'S BACK TO BLOGGING. HAHA. If I got pictures, I'll stick 'em in, if not, OH WELL.

Yeeeeeesterday, I went out with Pris. It was lotsa fun!!! We went to Vivo City, which I hadn't properly explored yet, and it was coool. Of course, because I was late, we had lesser time to hang out, so a good majority of Vivo City is still, for me, left unexplored. But anyway, it's not very fun there, cos they ain't got much silly shops around. It's just clothes, clothes, clothes. And well, since I don't buy my own clothes (teehee), it's a little wasted. BUT NONTHELESS HAPPY-FUN. (Cos I can still scout for stuff & convince my mum to get it for me!)

We took pictures at the playground (will be uploaded when I get em), it rained a wee bit, we went to eat at Carl's Jr & shared a burger (duh), went back out for more pictures. Then we played at the water area, after which I noticed that the Grape Drink from our Carl's Jr dinner (at 6plus, willyoubelieveit) HAD LEAKED AND MY BAG WAS SOAKED at the bottom. ARGH We went to Toys R' US to I could buy some stupid item ( stuffed Dinosaur) for the plastic bags which I used to put my stuff in :(

Then we went to Bugis, walked around a bit (& where Priscilla's prediction that "Ah, I'll buy something from Bugis later" came true), took Neoprints, went home. OKAY, that was the summary of 29Dec (cos I did nothing in the morning but sleep & watch tv. HOW WILL I FINISH MY HOMEWORK ON TIMEEE)

OKAY ANYWAY, back to what this post is meant to do. UPDATE!

First and foremost: Favourite (part of) Christmas Present

It's only got 12 pictures in the film. But I am having fun with it because it is A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E. HAHA

Secondly: Second Favourite (part of) Christmas Present
This one's a tie between the earrings/necklace my parents gave me (which was bought from Japan & I knew what it was already) and PUGLEE which was given by dear ole' Pris!

Thirdly, I LOVE MASCARA. (refer to the above picture for my mascara-ed eyes) But the problem is, it loves ME too much, to want to be removed from my poor poor eyelashes. Hence, half of it is stuck there, while my eyes are feeling a little bit "exposed" (because I suppose I removed too much oil from the eye area pfft) DOES ANYBODY KNOW A GOOD WATERPROOF MASCARA REMOVAL BRAND? Argh. I'm so sick of losing at least 5 beautiful eyelashes per eyelid in ONE DAY. :( (Good thing me don't wear mascara often) I think that half the reason my mascara takes 92857r023984 years to come out is because I always wear it for too long. Bleh. ]:(

Okay, NEEEEXT topic. Updates!
Hm, the last time I properly blogged (whoops) was 14/15 Dec.... therefore I shall update from then onwards! Hokay, here goes...

Okay, so on 15 Dec, I went out with Naomi! Haven't gone out/hung out with her in aaaages! Like 2 years?! Mmm, so anyway, I was, as usual, LATE. Oh goodness, this is a habit I will CURB IN 2009. Humph. Okay, so we watched Bolt, the movie. It was cute, it was sweet, it was nice. BUT there were 2 bad things about that Disney movie. One, was that it had Miley Cyrus :( and Two, was that I didn't cry at all ie it wasn't a Tearjerker for me. :( I love movies/books that make me cry. Sheesh.

Why didn't I cry?!

Oh wells.

Yeah, we also bought each other belated birthday gifts! Mine was the "Best" portion of a "Best Friends" charm bracelet. Totally cute! But so sad that we realised that the crown charm on my bracelet had fallen off, but anyway, Nayo has gone back to Diva to replace it! Naomi's one present was an Eeyore stuffed toy. Super soft to touch/hug! Hope she finds/found joy in using it in Spain! Hola! haha. We also took Neoprints yeah. (Seriously, I don't know what's with me & neoprints lately - I always look weird/ugly in most of them. I cherish those puny rectangles that I look ok/good in) Yep, fun fun day! [I have to mention that Subway is SOOOO good. So healthy, so nice!!!]

16Dec I had dance. It was conditioning and half fun. Cos we had a "freestyle" session at the end & we did some weird stuff. And Daphne/Nicole had to push me up front to do Bellydancing with Coco. AT least it was just figure-8s. :/
I think that 17 & 18 Dec was nothing/wasted/slack days. sorta. (cos 18th had training for Street-E)

19 Dec was the LAST DANCE PRACTICE OF 2008. OH MY GOODNESS SO HAPPY. But because I woke up deathly late & I didn't want to do late-conditioning exercises, I cabbed down. -_- The cab fare would be similar to if we had the fine system & I took the bus -_- Of course I was still late, but from the kindness of Daphne's heart, she spared me the late-conditioning exercises for 20 mins.

I WILL NOT BE LATE FOR DANCE IN 2009 I WILL NOT BE LATE FOR DANCE IN 2009 I WILL NOT BE LATE FOR DANCE IN 2009 I WILL NOT BE LATE FOR DANCE IN 2009 I WILL NOT BE LATE FOR DANCE IN 2009 I WILL NOT BE LATE FOR DANCE IN 2009 I WILL NOT BE LATE FOR DANCE IN 2009 I WILL NOT BE LATE FOR DANCE IN 2009

Also

I MUST NOT BE LATE ANYMORE. FOR ANYTHING. ]:(

After dance, we had a dance lunch, which was 2 bucks for Pizza! Plus free magic show! So cool luh. When that was other, it was Christmas Present shopping madness!!! Met my mother at Bedok Interchange, where at the nearby bus-stop it is DIGUSTINGLY SMOKY, then we took the IKEA shuttle bus down to the happy happy IKEA. ♥ I finally bought my

FABLER GRODA!!! ♥♥♥!!! (I pulled off HIS ugly-body mangling checkered pants & now SHE is called Freda) Note Please: I AM NOT A PERVERT
I also bought some christmas presents there. So happy. :) I seriously LOVE IKEA! ♥Ikea!

Next stop was Tampines Mall. where I bought more presents, including Annabelle's waterball! Haha, it's a ball that floats on water. Totally cool. I hope it works. I'd like to try it out ;) M-hm, after TM was Parkway, where I bought Pris's Puglee! I love it loads! (So I'm really happy she gave me one back!) :D YAY! Yeah and at the end of the day, I was superdy-duperly tired!!! (ohmygoodness, must stop watching Barney) But at least the day was not wasted!!! Whoots.

20Dec was the usual. Home, Faith Factor, Home. OHOH, but my aunt from Malaysia came to stay with us. I kindly volunteered my room to her, allowing her to sleep on my bed & I sleep on the mattress from my parent's room on the floor. For 5 nights. (She left on the 25th)

21Dec I recieved back my ballet results!!!! I am SOOOOOOO SOOOOOOO SOOOOOOOO happy that I passed. Oh man, I've been so scared that I would fail my last ballet exam in 2 years (dunno whether I'll get to take it up again next time, so yeah, HOPE SO). I got Highly Commended, which I'm quite happy to get, although I did put in a lot of effort. Sigh. Oh wells. Anyway, Miss Pamela bought cake! (just like that time that we did after the ballet exam) And after pigging out on the different flavours, Faith, Debs & I took pictures. (Dorena left early. I think I only have one picture of Dorena with us! Awww) [but I don't have them pictures yet so yeah]

Uh-huh. 22nd was Annabelle's birthday!!! But um, because I'd slept at 4+am making those cards, I couldn't wake up in time to go celebrate with her at the Marina Barrage. Missed out on a good opportunity to go check it out! Sigh. Then in the afternoon, some of the youths went to go try out Street-E, via a Christmas survey. I was really, really scared, and it was half-ok in the end, but um, not very "successful" for Dawn & I. Well, it was a good experience. I guess. I hope that next time I will be more prepared + not so scared......

After Street-E, I went home for dinner, then joined the post-Street-E meeting at church. Where they gave me another chance to trying sharing. But of course, because Dawn & Chris are christians, it's easier to share with them. After the session, Ben, Des, Dawn, the sec 1 girls (+ one p6) and I stayed back to decorate the Auditorium for the Christmas party to be held the next day. It was pretty fun, cos Ben & I were trying to stick cloth to the ceiling. I love doing weird stuff like that. Seriously. (I suppose it's cos I like to do stuff that elevates me off the ground. MAN THAT MAKES NO SENSE) Oh & when I went home, I started working on the christmas presents.

As mentioned, 23rd Dec was the Christmas Party at church. I was supposed to go early to further help with the decorations, but I was so engrossed in doing my presents that I only finished at 5+, so I had to rush & change & run to church. AT LEAST I REACHED ON TIME OKAY. Annabelle was 1 hr late. Partly because someone left the house late, partly because someone dropped 2 BUS-STOPS EARLY. See, that's for being self-obsessed & lazy to check the bus guide yourself. -_- Yeah, the food was pretty nice! The band was also quite ok, but I missed out their first song(s) thanks to you-know-who yeah. I did enjoy myself at the party, although I would've preferred if we were sitting on chairs instead of the floor. But oh well. Cleaning up was also quite fun.
AND YES, no pictures as well. Although, I do need to ask Kim for PICTURES!

24th, went to Parkway to exchange my jeans for Levi's jeans. I AM NOW SIZE TWENTY-SEVEN. *cries and screams uncontrollably* (I must mention that my title for this post is "I AM GETTING SO FAT! ROAR") But then again, after wearing it for about a day, I have to say that actually, they are kinda loose. 'Specially when I sit down. :/ OH & it's so loose, that I can pull it off without undoing the buttons. -_- I didn't realise it was THAT loose. By this time, I had finished making all my presents, and I did not sleep at some ungodly hour as I did the 2 previous Christmases. I told myself to take a picture of the 10 bottles, but NOOOO, I totally forgot. There goes my rainbow (for Cheryl) forever.... and that starfish from Finding Nemo (for Amanda)..... and that Pink Teddy Bear (for Angeline) [ok, I still have it. I'll go snap a piccha of it]

OH AND I FORGOT to mention, making those christmas presents was what kept me from updating my blog. Busy busy busy!

25th, CHRISTMAS! (boy, this sure is one long post) Went to church in the morning, then after service, was the usual exchange of gifts. Ben went budget again this year. Haha. My pencil was a Wall-E one. Yep. I liked Marianne's present loads! So sweet! I hope I can find a suitable chain, cos I wanna wear it as a necklace. Amanda & Dawn's combined present was funny. So next time, if people say I'm late, I'll show them my ~~toy~~ clock and say that actually I AM on time. haha. No complains ah, Dawn. Yup, then I spent Christmas updating the links in my blog, so I have officially visited every single link there. Cannot say I link for nothing ah.

At night was the usual family partay. Dinner & games with the relatives. I'm glad my family's not too big, cos then it's one small little circle of fun. Haha. After dinner & hanging around (like playing on my cousin Natalie's DS & them playing Facebook on my laptop -_-), we played Taboo! I love Taboo! It's so much fun, even though I suck at it. But I love how we have to come up with silly explanantions to describe each word on the cards. My team didn't win, but it was still a great experience! :) (3rd time playing Taboo haha) The relatives left at 11+ cos we were so distracted playing Taboo. Heh.

26th, 27th, 28th I don't seem to remember anything important/interesting. 29th is above. And today is a wasted-slack day.

HOW AM I GONNA FINISH ALL MY HOLIDAY HOMEWORK. SO.SCREWED.UP.

Continuation of update hahahaha

I have been reading blogs that I've linked for like what, the past 2 hours or something?! But yeah, it was nice to get updated on on what goes on in people's lives. I feel like I've been out of touch with the internet for ages, but maybe it's cos I hadn't been able to read my friend's blogs in aaaaaages. I have to say that the Heroes camp really did sap up a great deal of me. I guess because I didn't organise myself enough, I unintentionally let the preparations for the camp take over my life, leaving me nothing but a tired and stressed-up girl.

I suppose it was true when Amanda said that the spiritual life can get affected when we're so caught up in the worldly aspect of things. I realised that I did screw up my relationship with God whilst working on the camp. I spent so much time distracting myself with the completion of everything I needed to do that I left no time to spend with God. Especially whilst the camp was drawing nearer, I ended up working late into the night and crawling into bed after that, so exhausted and distressed. On top of that I'd constantly be in a bad mood and vent my frustration on anybody I could. And I cried. A lot. Thanks to you-know-who. Who also didn't help in my anger management issues, but probably contributed to it.

ANGELINE, LESSON NUMBER TWO. NOW IS NEVER THE TIME TO BLAME ANYONE.
Sigh.

Lesson number one is "Don't call yourself fat/ugly when NOBODY IS CLEARLY SAYING THAT" Haha, that's how Angline M says it, with the emphasis & dramatic expression on the last bit. And anyway, my dear friend, I will never learn this lesson. hahahaha. How to luh, when I can't accept it. Haha. Okay, so I know I have Self Image issues, BUT I am slowly working on it. Anyways, inner beauty is more important kays, so imma gonna work on that first before working on accepting my ugly face, fat arms, fat stomach, cellulitey thighs and ugly legs. :D

Yah. Today was the usual Sunday sorta day. I got to wear my Mango long-sleeved shirt for a second time. I thought that I would never wear it again becuase of the horrific stomach-bulging incident at Universal Studios, but then it was cold and I wanted a pretty looking long-sleeved top, so I wore it. Anyway, today's message was very relevant and linked me back to the camp, since the speaker was talking about preparing for Judgement Day, which was brought up during the last message of the camp. Which of course got me thinking and making more determined to clean up the mess I call my life.

After service, whilst talking to people, my heart started hurting. As in, I had this pressurized feeling on my heart, like something was squeezing it/pressing against it & this made it slightly hard for me to breathe. Sigh. Then, the rest of the day was boring. Came home, ate lunch, slept till 6 (I AM SUCH A PIG RIGHT? No, but actually I slept at 1am yesterday plus I didn't rest after coming home from camp, so actually this is called catching up on sleep haha) Oh yeah, after sleeping, my heart felt slightly better. My mum says that it could be because I've got something on my heart, but I didn't think so. I told her that I didn't feel distressed or anything, to which she replied that it could be the stress of the camp that I've pent up inside me. Maybe, maybe not? But oh well. And just in case you were wondering, my heart still hurts, but only when I take medium to deep breaths. 8

HM, I promised to update soon. Sooooo, soon is now!! So to continue.....

[from the previous post]
Then I rushed off to Marina Mandarin, where I was uber duper late and we didn't get a proper blocking rehearsal. Oh which, I am of course, still feeling somewhat guilty for. Oh wells. Then we practised and practised outside the ballroom, but alas! We just weren't in sync and weren't feeling the mojo (as I call it ahaha). How dramatic. Of course Angel scolded us and then we tried putting in more effort, but then, somehow the magic wasn't there! :(

Anyway, after one last rehearsal, we went back to the room for dinner & preparations. During which, Mag, Vivian & I took lotsa pictures. Oh my goodness, so many ugly/unglam picchas of me. And Mag & Vivian kindly named me the Unglamorous Queen. :( Haha, anyway, after slacking, changing, putting on make-up, eating dinner, having retarded fun (all not in order) and a few last rehearsals outside the ballroom, it was performance time! As usual, I got my queasy feeling in the stomach & was so freaked out that I would screw up again! Ahhhh.

But the performance turned out GREAT. You want proof? I'll show it.

I couldn't believe it. My memory tells me that I didn't really mess up. And I'm ultra thankful to God, because I was praying desparately for the performance to be a success before we danced AND IT DID. So thankful, thankful, thankful. Anyway, after that the seniors came out & took lotsa pictures with us. I wish I could post em all here, but I don't have anything!?!! Argh. Must. Look. For. People. To. Send. Me. Pictures!!!!

Okay, that's all for Grad Night. December 2 & 3 was slacking + waking up at 9am to watch Sesame Street with my beloved Abby Cadabby in them :D

On December 4th, I went out with Annabelle at Wild Wild Wet. We were supposed to meet at 12pm, then I ended up reaching 12.30pm (but I had pre-warned Anna) AND I WAS THE EARLY ONE. Yay me. *bimbo claps* Haha. So I hung out at the food court, listening to music, praying to God that the rain would clear up & waiting for Annabelle. Who cam at 1pm. Then we rushed in, ready to make full use of the 8 dollars we dished out whilst signing up for the PAssion card :D

And make full use of the card did we. We tried out all the rides, played on all the slides and were there till 6.30pm. Whoooooots. We rode on the SlideUP! (the ride with the blue float thingy) 6 times, Ularlah (ride with the big floaty thingy that you sit on) 4 times, the purple slide 2 times, the yellow slide 1 time, rode on all the slides in the water playground and stayed for a long time in the Tusnami Pool drinking unnecessary water (via both the nose & mouth UGH GROSS). The playground was fun, so many silly slides and water activities. My fave slide there is the one with 2 slides next to each other, one blue, one pink. Anna & I went on it and we slid down it simultaneously. haha 8)
Anyway, even though it rained halfway through (and I was dragged into the foam pool) I had loads & loads of fun there. Good times, good times. I♥SWIMMING! fun fun fun (((:

Pris came back 3rd Dec if I didn't remember wrongly. :):):):)

And that's all actually. After that, was a mess of camp preparations. One was sleeping late to make the cover page & the puzzle image. Another was spending one entire day in church to finish making the camp booklet & having a programmes comm meeting where I test-runned a game & got my legs (knees down) wet. [Dec 8] Another was spending one afternoon to night preparing for my game in the camp with Angeline. She stayed so long, she had to have dinner at my house. Wowza. [Dec 9]

AND I'M ALL DONE. Haha. Cos after that was camp. And I've blogged about that already :)
Actually I realised, whilst looking through my pictures, that I didn't update about Make-up Day with Chia Li & Annabelle. I definitely will blog about that because I have lotsa picchas of it. :) So much fun luh. But anyway, my mother is bugging me to get off the computer & I promised to shut down by 3am. Which is 1 minute away.

Goodnight peoplez!♥

back from camp!

[WARNING: The post below contains only one picture and has too many words. You now have the option of skipping this post. Haha.]

Hello peoples! I'm so sorry I didn't have time to update. I was very busy with ... the Heroes camp!

And I am now back from it and am freer I hope I hope I hope.

Sigh. I was a busy busy bee. :/ I cleverly took on too many roles. The first role I took up was that of being in the programmes committee. It was kinda demanding & slightly time-consuming, but it was okay, because Angeline & I managed our role pretty well in the start. The next one wasn't too bad, cos it was the role of a projectionist (and that's only time consuming in camp). Then, without thinking hard enough, I took on my third role as helping in the Camp Booklet. Which was pretty crazy and yeah, caused me to lose sleep (as in I slept late for it).

Man, my brain can't seem to think & make coherent sense. Anyway, this week's been a mess of stress, late-night sleeping & preparing for the camp. The picture above is one of the two that I made for the camp. I KNOW it sucks and is totally fake and obvious that it was photoshopped, but I AM a photoshop dummy and suck at it. So, cut me some slack yeah. The other picture was for the camp booklet cover, but Annabelle doesn't like it cos it looks like Batman. Cos I used a searchlight (like those hollywood ones y'know), an effect I learnt for the world wide web (: I am very proud of myself for making the searchlight, so I don't care that Anna doesn't like the searchlight. :D

Mmm, it was hard to make the camp booklet, but I have to say that I enjoyed the sillier components of the booklet, which includes the cover page, content page, rules and contact list. Haha, I loved using the "Comic Book" font from dafont.com and it was funny changing names and making those aspects of the book suit the Heroes theme. I'm always like that. Exceling in doing the stupid things in life. When it comes to schoolwork & research, I am pure crap (specially for the latter), but you give me something retarded to do, and I can do it well-ish (I wouldn't totally say "well", because I can never do anything "perfect")

As for planning and preparing for Angeline & my game in the camp, which was "The Quest", it was loads of fun & gave me a new good friend, Angeline. (Note: if you didn't already realise, I'm not talking bout myself) Haha, she is the very first (and last I hope) person I have had a four hour conversation with. It's crazy and I feel bad for my parents who are the ones dolling out the cash to pay for the house phone bill. heh. We, in my usual fashion, were very last minute with things, which gave me added stress, but oh well, through the Grace of God, we made it in time.

Although, we started late (because preparing the stations required a lot more time than I had initially though) and there was a major-ish hiccup during the game, I am ultra thankful that the weather was perfect-we didn't need the wet weather plan at all, the campers were safe-no one got injured and people had fun (I think). Okay, so quite a few people told me that The Quest was fun & that they really enjoyed playing it, but somehow everytime someone tells me that, my heart gets a funny feeling. Sigh. I dunno. As Angeline says, I am in a confused state of mind now, which I totally agree with and need to get myself out of.

Yeah, enough about me. The camp was fun! Loads of things to do, but then, there were too many things to do, such that I didn't even have proper time to write a letter to my mortal. :( What's worse was that I forgot to bring food, so I couldn't give my mortal anything :( :( :( I feel bad for her! Sigh. Anyway, overall I enjoyed playing in all the games and stuff, but of course, I think that for the next camp, they need to cut down on activites and give us more free time to chill, relax and fellowship (yay, I found the word finally after pausing there for some time).

As for the messages, once again the speaker - Chee Hong - was very funny & relevant. His examples in explaining his points made sense (as usual) and were hilarious. I guess going to camps/church, always reminds me of the things that I need to work on, which is basically everything, but yeah, it's always a good reminder to myself that I do need to continue working on spending time with God and being more loving & Christ-like. Sigh. Anyway, now's the holidays, and I have all the time in the world (okay, almost cos I have dance and other stuff too), so I should get down to working hard in both my spiritual life and physical life (if that's the appropriate word to use for the latter).

However, the thing that struck me the most during camp was the Anger Issues & Stress Issues that I have within me. I never realised that I couldn't control my anger/stress/emotions to such an extent. It was a wake-up call for me, like when Tate was saying it was scary seeing me flare up like that & when Angeline told me how shocked she was that I can treat my mum quite mean-ly sometimes. I mean before the camp I knew I had anger issues, but this camp really magnified my problem to my eyes. It was probably cos I was under a lot of pressure and I completely lost it, but as Angeline tells me, "Lesson number 2, do not blame anybody, including yourself." The main thing is that I need to work it out with God and myself and hopefully, I can change and as Angeline also says "Be more calm" like her.

Sigh. Issues Issues Issues. If I had to list out all my issues within, I think it could take a long long long time mannnn. Mmm. But I guess I'll have to tackle them one at a time, can't be lazy no more. If I keep putting everything that I label as "Oh, this one's gonna be hard/tough"off, nothing's gonna change and I'm still gonna be the same person that I am now, forever. Which I don't want to be, because I hate the way I am now. Yeah. So, that means I need to....

Anyway, yeah that was KPC Heroes Camp 2008, from my point of view. I need pictures! I'll post em when I get em, if there are any glamorous-enough-to-be-put-on-my-blog pictures. :D I bet Kimberly is gonna get bombarded with picture requests from all the KPC peoplez. Haha. Yeah, anyway, time's up for me. I gotta go sleep now, or I'll be sleeping/not paying attention tomorrow in church. Today doesn't feel like saturday. It feels like friday man. I NEED TO FINISH UP THE POST BELOW YYYYYO. Anyway, good night and good bye for now. More soon I hope hope hope!

♥Toodles!

i'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!

Time sure flies by when you're wasting time. I can't believe that I'm in December now :/ It's like, one moment ago I'd just ended school and now suddenly I'm thrown into December, where finding free time seems to become harder. Yeah, I'm still wasting time watching tv, but at least I don't watch so much now. What exactly am I doing? Ugh. The last time I posted here was what, Nov 16 or 17? Gosh, I have been SOOO out of touch with this blog in F-O-R-E-V-E-R. Man, that sucks :( Haha.

This of course, can be attributed to two things - One, being that I had A LOT of things going on (which hopefully means that this is gonna be one LOOOONG post) and Two, being that MY RETARD OF A TABLET screwed up on me and that stopped my easy access into the wonderful world of the world wide web (ok not really about the wonderful world bit, but yeah). Also, my mum asked me to reformat the desktop, which proceeded to decide NOT to connect to the internet, thus taking away another source of easy access to the net. Then, my brother came back Nov 14, but he took absolute monopoly of his Asus laptop, but then I never really counted that as easy access to the internet, so it's not counted. On top of that, my brother's Dell laptop (after living for four years) decided to go black screen after being switched on, hence ANOTHER SOURCE OF EASY ACCESS TAKEN AWAY!!!?!! Leaving me, with no access to the internet and lots of lounging around staring at the television screen. Ok, I know my story makes no sense, but I just needed an outlet to vent all my frustration at the computers around me. >:( ]:(

Anyway, as mentioned, hehehehe, loads of things happppppened since I last updated this poor poor blog of mine. By the way, may I once again make a request that you guys help click on the NOKIA advert on top of this post PLEEEEEAAAASE. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. I forgot how long it's gonna be there, but from the kindness of your great heart, please help me to earn a bit more cash this christmas season by clicking on it whenever you see it PLEASE. Thank you and I am forever grateful to anybody who clicks on my adverts(:(:(:

Right, where was I? Oh yeah. Ok, time for me to take a trip down memory lane. Ok, so on the 21st nov, I had my ballet exam. Oh man, I was so scared, because this was gonna be the LAST BALLET exam I take in the looongest time and I TOTALLY didn't want to fail it. Nontheless, I proceeded to slightly screw up my National Dance and wobbled a bit during some exercises. Should. Have. Put. In. More. Effort. Arrrgh!! Sigh. After Faith & I's exam, we went down to Q-Bite & 4leaves to get 6 cakes, of which we shared (in cost) with Debs & Doreena and shared (in eating) with Miss Pamela & Martin the pianist. Which reminds me, I still owe Faith 4.50. Whoops. Then the 4 of us went for lunch at BK, but cos of the cakes, we were pretty full. Ah well. Also, cos of the exam, I got to skip dance. Whoop dee doo! (I feel half-mean saying that, but I am rather annoyed at dance)

Then um, 24th Nov I went to meet Angeline M to get the logistics for our camp, of which I was VERY late in meeting her. Whoops. :/ I really need to work on laziness & punctuality. :( Haha, we had fun as usual and she persuaded me that we didn't need to get everything on the list that I had overenthusiastically typed out. Haha. Which reminds me, I STILL HAVEN'T GOTTEN MY BALLOONS YET ohmygoodness. Do you think normal balloons are ok to fill up with water, or is it better to get them water balloons? :/ I want balloons that don't burst easily when filled with water, but still can be burst somewhat. (Cuz if they don't burst at all, then it's gonna be so easy for the campers riiiiight) Haha. I also must remember to claim my money back, or I'll be having money deficiency. Ok, not really, but christmas season is approaching and I need money for that.

OH OH OH then Nov 26th to 29th, I was helping out at The Promise musical, which was totally awesome by the way. Even though I was backstage the whole time and couldn't get to see the musical properly, it was still very well done. God definitely blessed the show :D Also, nov 26, I once again got to skip dance yay. Haha, I sound really mean about this now huh. Nannyway, I was helping with the wardrobe creww with the other KPC youth. Haha, we rocked! We were pretty fast in changing the guys. Also met my sort-of-neighbour, who I hadn't seen in a long time haha, there. He's so skinny! UNLIKE ME RAWR. My tummy sticks out more each day I think grrr. Even more when I don't get at least 10 hours of sleep grrr.

Oh, but back to the musical! There were 2 ponies there! Yay! Super duper uber cute. They came out in the show twice, but then they got very stressed after a few days of being there. :/ Here's a picture of one! (The other one is whitish) That's Melissa & I plus the horse handler in the picture. I chopped off our heads cos it wasn't a very glamorous one of us. :/

Oh wells. (STOP STARING AT MY STOMACH) Oh yes, I am so sick & tried of those ultra loose ultra baggy shirts so I have decided to start ordering t-shirts that fit my size somewhat from now on. HAH. Stupid school shirts and their weird sizes. I am gonna order S from now on hah! (Ok, I was wearing XXS for the Promise Musical shirt) I think that next time, if there's another musical and I'm not performing, I'll definitely help out in wardrobe. But of course not ironing, cos I'd probably burn a hole in a costume haha. Oh, but it's sad that I never did properly learn how to tie a headscarf. It would've been useful if I knew how to tie one. Haha.

Ok, after that was Grad Night! Whoooot! December 1st! We were supposed to meet at City Hall MRT at 1.30, but then I had piano at 12.30 which ended at 1.30, so I came late. As usual. -.- I had to sign up for the PAssion card first though (which made me even later), cos I wanted the Wild Wild Wet free ticket hehehe. And what's worse is that I needed to buy a transparent bra-strap at the last minute and I forgot to / didn't ask anybody to help me buy one beforehand. So I walked around Marina Square like a complete loser, trying desparately to find one pair of measly bra-straps. First shop I visited was Muji, who pointed me to John Little. Then, I had to ask about 4 people before I could find JL. On the way there, I saw Watson's & Guardian (which was manned by a guy ugh), so I asked Watson's. But they didn't have. JL ALSO didn't have!!?!!!

Frustrated, deparate and embarrassed, I asked the guy shop assistant in Guardian, but they also didn't have. Argh. What a waste of effort right?! Mustering up all my courage to ask a guy for bra-straps for nothing. Ew ugh. Then Vivian called and Mag directed me to Sasa, which I had passed along the way and forgot where it was. But then I met my aunt and my cousin Natalie, who attempted to direct me to Sasa, but they didn't know where. But thankfully, Rachel - the other cousin who is more better at such shops - appeared from the toilet & directed me there, but they also didn't have!!! ARRGGH. Then, I spotted women'ssecret. Which obviously should have. And they did. But then. IT WAS 12 DOLLARS!?!!?!!! I.N.S.A.N.E. But I had no choice, and I was desperate, so painfully and sadly, I pulled the 12 bucks out of my wallet to make my first payment of the holiday. Ouch, much.

Then I rushed off to Marina Mandarin, where I was uber duper late and we didn't get a proper blocking rehearsal. Oh which, I am of course, still feeling somewhat guilty for. Oh wells. Then we practised and practised outside the ballroom, but alas! We just weren't in sync and weren't feeling the mojo (as I call it ahaha). How dramatic. Of course Angel scolded us and then we tried putting in more effort, but then, somehow the magic wasn't there! :(

And now I have to break for lunch. It's 2pm lorrr. More soon wahahaha!
