Just felt like I should document this amazing month that is going to end soon :(( I love June!!!!! It's been a month filled with God's blessing and I can say I rested a lot. Thank God for that!! :-))
This is 2nd of June! It was a day filled with God's presence because I had to take my chinese Os.. The day before I panicked like crazy and somehow managed to squash so much chinese vocabulary into my brain. Thank God for my wonderful family and friends that prayed and blessed me with verses.. When I woke up that day, I didn't feel as sleepy as I usually feel, I felt so energized, like God's love was just pouring into my heart. I felt so surprisingly confident that victory was on its way!! Ya.. I believe it was all God's grace because I don't know.. I felt His love so strong in my heart throughout the day ❤️❤️❤️
After the chinese paper, my classmates and I went to our Lao shi's house because she invited us there. She cooked us lunch and oh man.. I kinda regret not taking a photo of the food she cooked us cause it was heavenly!!!! I've not tasted such good beef noodles in my whole life, the saltiness was just right, the chilli... Oh my gosh Lao Shi you should open a restaurant!!! And she cooked mushroom soup for us too :') my Lao Shi is so awesome, she's so sweet to invite us to her house and even cook for us. ❤️❤️ After that, watched xmen with some of my classmates!! It was completely unplanned because I actually planned to go home and sleep after going to Lao shi's house.. Anyway, no regrets! The movie was great and my classmates are so nice :')) I wish I were closer to them but it's okay!! :-))
Deng deng.. Next day!! Wah we planned to do our social studies project on the first official day of our holiday (hardworking students heheh). Me and sop did our part at my house and we went to JEM to have lunch ^_^
At Ramenplay, got atas or not?? Heheheh after eating there, I realized I've actually eaten ramenplay before with Kezia and Carissa at Holland V! That was really long ago though
My yummy ramen I couldn't really get a nice shot of after like 5 photos hehe oh well.. Oh yes, I forgot to say, this post has a lot of erm kind of unglam photos because I'm just simply uploading them from my phone! Hehe :D
We watched maleficent, which I must is very picturesque and pretty!!! It was a really really good movie and it wasn't dark or scary at all, like I thought it would be :-)) and the cinema seats at Jcube were so comfortable :-)) the awesome and at ease feeling you get catching a movie with your best friends :-)) ❤️❤️
It was a very fun day!!
Beautiful sky when I got out of the bus or something that day :-)
Went bowling with my friend Charis the next day because she was flying off the day after :-) my little brother has been complaining about me going out while he stays at home so I had to bring both my brothers along... And as you can see me and my brothers are not very good at bowling!
At then we went to eat yoguru!! Yum
With my cheeky brother :-)) tried to take a photo with him and me but he kept running away!! My other brother took the stairs,,, wow...
The next day my little kiddies went out with my aunt at this cosy place called eat play love!! And I stayed at home to study.. Planned to but I ended up convincing myself that if I finish my drama I will not be distracted by anything anymore!!!! Not....
My auntie took me and my siblings to east coast park the next day and oh my it was so fun!!!
My little sleuth :-)
Getting ready for our 2 hour bike adventure!! First hour on the family bike then the second on our individual bikes :-) we met a really nice bike renter who was really flexible and allowed us rent our family bike then our individual bikes without extra charge yay! :-) the other bike renter didn't allow us to so we were happy we found this shop! :-)
Taking a little break. She is so cute!!! Hehehe
We went to the bridge where there was hardly anybody
( ^ω^ ) ^o^
We rode on our individual bikes for more than half hour and it was so fun!! I love cycling it makes me feel so free ^_^ even I still feel kinda scared being on the bike!
It rained heavily during the last 20 minutes so we couldn't go back to the store to return our bikes.. We stayed in the pavilion and the wind was so strong!! Me and my siblings hugged each other to keep each other warm. The rain was so huge, we were all probably drenched even though we were in the shade the whole time.. Finally after nearly 40 minutes we decided the rain got slightly smaller so we rode our bikes out. I was super scared and kept praying as I rode the bike.. Water kept coming into my eyes so I had to let go of one handle to wipe my face and all.. It was so fun in the rain!!! I felt really cool riding a bike in the rain hahahaha yeah thank God for safety!! After we returned our bikes, we went to sushi tei and ate hot udon and really yummy sushi!! It was a really warm meal because everyone felt hungry and cold at first and we were fed by warm and good food :-)) *satisfied smile*
Sunset from a window at my grandmother's place!
We went to my brother's school carnival on Saturday and it was really fun!!!! He went to hillgrove and it's a really cute school :-)) reminds me a bit of Henry park :-) somehow, even though I've been to a lot of school carnivals because of my school, this is the best one I've been to so far :')
Cutie Gloria in the bouncy castle!! There was another bouncy castle we went to that no one was guarding, so my sis and I went to bounce on it for free!! Hehehe. It was quite embarrassing for me though!!
Sweaty girl as we waited for our turn to sit on the Viking :-)
Looks very kiddy but it was pretty scary!!!!!! I've sat on USS' Cylone and I can go on that hands free but I was more scared for this! Haha my sister was really scared too, so I had to hug her really tight. We sat on the last row so maybe the dips were more scary. The falling in your tummy feeling is really strong!! Quite scary leh..
Fast forward to the next week!! On Monday, I decided that I simply cannot study at home cause I've been lazing at home.. So on Tuesday, it was like one of the first times I made more of an afford to go and study at the library.. I must mention this.. I PACKED MY CLOSET!! Ahh.. First time in 2 years or something.. I couldn't stand the mess anymore so I finally packed it and it's really neat. Donated 3 huge plastic bags of clothes yay yay! My closet is now of things I like hehe. I am really blessed
Also, this random photo is from me trying on a pretty dress from a shop I found in westgate!! I think the whole shop was on sale!!! This dress was $20 and it was originally $45! Material also very good! I was obviously a very very happy girl ^_^ The striped dress is also $20 but I didn't get it cause the material was kinda flimsy ❤️◡❤️
Wednesday was also really really fun.. Met up with my dear friend Lou Lou at Rochester starbucks to study!! We had a really cool location and I was trying to finish my chem revision paper (which I still haven't finished :/). My caramel macchiato!! It's not bad :-) and my glittery nails hehehehe
We got chased away after 4+! So we decided to head opposite to star vista to study instead :-) we took advantage of the beautiful scenery at Rochester to take selfies though haha!
We studied for awhile more till about 6 then we went to balcony part of star vista to take photos!!! The sky was such a pretty blue that day, the clouds were so fluffy. We could see the sky without much erm blockage at the rooftop!! It was so vast and so pretty
This kinda just sums up our feelings for that day. Mouth wide open, nature is amazing!!!!!
Lol
We were super positive about climbing all that stairs also. We thought that if we climb all the way up and there's nothing to see, we'll just take it as exercise!!! Hahaha it was super sunny that day as well, I think I was a bit burned hehe
#goldenhour beautiful skies as I walked home that day. Every single day the sky looks different! And it always looks amazingly beautiful, work of God's creation.
The very next day!! Made my heart feel so warm and happy until now :-)) met up with my primary school friends!!! This is kinda weird to express, but they just leave such a huge impact in my heart!! Even though it's been more than 3 years since we sat in the same class, I don't know... Every time I meet up with them, I wake up the morning feeling like aw man... I really miss them... In the most friendish way possible heh :-)
In a side note, this post is getting way too long!! I'm only like half done with my hols... (￣^￣)ゞ
We planned to study really hard then play and swim!!! And I'm happy to say we studied pretty hard :-) pink and gold magnum after 2 hours of study!! Carissa helped me a lot in my physics because I didn't understand a lot of things and she was really good. Thank you!! ^_^
Keefe is bald because of hair for hope!!
Had a really good time with them!!! Even though we were more quiet that day cause we studied and all haha (i think) some of us swam in Carissa's pool and I miss swimming so much!!!!! I miss the adrenaline rush you get when you jump in then coach makes you do laps and all... Really really really miss it.. Somehow I miss training.. Though I know I was never good and it was only through God's strength that I ever made it out of training in one piece.. Haha I'm kinda exaggerating but sometimes it's just so tiring and God blesses me with strength. And somehow I miss that.. Haha.. And I miss my team!!! I'll never forget that blissful night we spent together at school watching rise of the guardians in the quadrangle.. Watching the sky getting darker slowly.. I should have attended more school events in the last 3 years.. Hahaha
Anyway, we were in the pool and Wai Kye refused to swim so he was pushed into the pool with his phone in his pocket.. They put his phone in a packet of rice and thank God, his phone is alive!!!! YAY!!! (⌒▽⌒)
My dad fetched me home!! My mum was shopping for shoes for my brothers so we sat around and waited for her :-)
On Friday it was my prayer point day!! I actually planned a full day of study but it's okay!! Had a good time of prayer and we went to eat dinner after that! Here is my filling and yummy bibimbap! :-)
Sunday!!!!! Ahhhh I'm about to document one of my best trips ever :-) we flew off to Phuket on Sunday afternoon :-) we had a really great lunch at the airport! Yay! It's a pretty rare occasion for me to go to the airport, I love going to the airport haha :D
Window seat :DD
And we are going off!!! Family selfie ❤️❤️ We took silkair and the food they serve is so delicious!!! I had pasta there and beef rice back, both were surprisingly good and I even finished the whole thing!! :-)) haha
Put on my brown touristy hat which is supposed to be my cousin's heh heh. It makes me really feel like a tourist!!! :-))
We stayed in a villa because there were 9 of us and it was such a pretty villa!!! Like I could live in such a pretty place with a private pool and jacuzzi for 5 days in a row woah. We made use of our money spent quite well, we swam 3 out of 5 days :D my mum recently bought me the rainbow loom thingy so me and my cousin Charyse made bracelets!!! I successly completely a triple loom bracelet, which took really long!!! Yay and I learnt how to make a rose after maybe an hour :-D
We went for dinner nearby our resorts, and i have to say this is one of the most heartwarming and comfortable dining places I've ever been to. The place is pretty grimy and mismatched, but the whole concept of the place is so smart!!! There's a dining area, a bar, a pool table and an area for kids to play!! I am so thankful for the kids' area because my siblings can just play there. In the kids' area, you can colour some cartoons, there's a huge box filled with colored balls and some hula hoops. Wow.. There's like the best of all worlds in one place, a place for kiddies, for adults because of the bar and for maybe older kids who are bored of the kiddie stuff and can't drink!!!! Genius. We played pool and it was so fun!!! My uncle taught me the proper way to hit a ball yay ^_^ i had the fried banana thing here and it was so delicious *o* *~* mouth drooling
Day 1!! We didn't take much pictures because we went to a water park!! It was in the resort :-)) we expected a pretty big water park but it was actually quite small.. Nevertheless, they had some pretty awesome slides!!!! :-D I went with my papa at first to take the scariest slide and it was very fun!! Not your average slide, we actually slid out backwards at the last part and i think we were both frightened haha. Went around the park with my brother Matthew and I think he really enjoyed himself! We went to this very special bar that was in a small pool. Meaning to say, we ordered our drinks at the bar and sat at tables and chairs that were submerged from below the desk!! It was really cool and I felt really atas hahaha. It started to get cold after that though and we hurried back to our house :-) we showered and played board games for the rest of the time :-) fun, relaxing holiday :-) I learnt how to monopoly deal and it's so fun!!! Hehehe
First stop!!! Tiger kingdom :-) we went into a room where there were about 4 tigers. We chose to go for the smallest tigers because the children couldn't visit the tigers that were too big!! :-)) the tiger fur is like a cat's but way coarser! The tiger likes it when you rub its belly! The tigers were really cute and were seemingly harmless, but I was still v cautious around them..
We were allowed to lie on the tiger!!! So we all laid on it very cautiously
except my sister (just lie down)
Next, we went to do go-karts!!! It was my first time and I was pretty frightened!! The go-kart could just crash and break! I was going so super slowly that my little brother Matthew lapped me twice. I finally got the hang of it but I was still scared to go fast, especially round the turns! How did my brother even go so fast... My hands were sore after go-kart because I was holding onto the handles so tightly!!
Next!!! Elephant ride!!! We rode 45 minutes on the elephant ride!! It was really fun for the first half hour then got a bit boring after that.. My pap, sis and I rode on a really cute elephant called Dennis! I was scared that we would fall off the elephant cause it really felt quite unstable and we were so far from the ground!! We held an umbrella because the sun was scorching hot that day
The elephant's skin is really hairy!!! Its hairs are all long and coarse. The elephant kept stopping at random trees to pull the branches with its trunk and to eventually eat the greens :-) my elephant Dennis was quite hungry that day haha! :p
We had a yummy lunch at a local food court after that. We had mango sticky rice almost every day at Thailand because it is found at every where!! The food was really cheap and good, the tom yam soup there is the spiciest soup I've tried so far hahaha
Next up, we played paintball!!! I was quite scared because I heard that it's painful when the paintball hits you, but it's actually not as painful because you are in full body suit haha. My brothers and I were in the red team while my uncle, who was a marksman in army many years ago, and my cousin is in the green team!!!
Getting ready!!!! :-D *excited and a bit scared face*
Paintball is tiring. We played a total of 50 shots each and I am like so unfit.. I was like huffing and puffing and couldn't catch my breath because I was constantly squatting up and down to avoid being shot. It was the best part of the whole trip!!!!! I loved it so much, despite the fact that I was so tired and I wasn't even sure I hit anyone with my 50 shots.. I got shot in my head.. If it was a real gun, I probably wouldn't have survived... Hehe but I'm not gonna think about such erm solemn thoughts hahaha :p
After paintball, we were to the mall to do pedicures!!!! Yay!!!! Enjoyment!!! :D I got dark red for my toes :-)) the lady scrubbed my foot so hard, my foot was like hurting :)) after a long day, we went back to the villa and my uncle cooked spaghetti!!!! I love spaghetti!!!!!! And my uncle is a chef so it was so yummy :') what a great day!!!! I was really happy, thank God for his goodness to me :')) I think we ended the day playing board games again, we playing 跳飞机 :-))
Third day!!! It was a stay at resort day!! We had breakfast at the lounge and I seriously enjoyed my food there. The cereal was really tasty and claims to be healthy as well ;) we swam in the public pool!!! Yay to swimming :-))) and in our private pool cause we have to make good use of our money :DD we swam for a long time under the hot sun and we all returned burnt.. There's a jacuzzi next to our pool so it was really relaxing.. Once in a long time luxury!! We put soap in the jacuzzi and the whole bathtub was filled with foam :-))
We went fishing near the evening after we kind of rested :-) the brown one is the traditional rod!! :-))
My brother is really good at fishing!!!!! He caught 8 fishes in an hour wow... My sister has recently stopped being so stubborn about wearing only dresses :-) she's been dressing up in skirts and shorts now and I find it so cute!!! Like above :-) ♥
My cousin is good too!! Basically I'm the worst at fishing, here I am, sitting at the corner cause so many of my fishes escaped after eating the bait I threw in.
We are good luck family!!!!! 3 of us caught fish at the same time!! Yay ^_^
I think we had some maggi mee for dinner :-) we played many rounds of 007 bang! that day. The punishment was to drink water, what a healthy game! We had a really good time of laughter and it was really nice to see my little Matthew smiling so sweetly :')
Day 4
It was a shopping day for us :-) we went to 3 different locations, the first was just a huge shop that sold t shirts :-) got a few for my friends there! Next we went to a huge snack shop where we spent like 200 bucks....... I know right... I was like （；￣ェ￣）u_u
The next place we went was a local shopping area! Kinda reminds me of Far East plaza and also bugis street :-) I was very careful with what I bought because I just recently cleaned my closet and I don't want to buy random things I don't like again.. I bought just one pair of black pants and I'm pretty happy with it ^_^
Day 5
Home sweet home!!! We swam in the morning and then went home :)))) can't express my longing for another trip but I'm so happy we went to Phuket!!!! Also, my cousin and I each bought a packet of lakeröl so we got to redeem a free gongcha at T2!!!! Happy!!!! :D ^_^
Back to singapore!!!! It was a really restful holiday and I really thank God so much for the joy he has placed in my heart and in my family :-) my only regret (kinda) is that I was too lazy during the first week of hols and hardly got any work done..
Today it's 6th July :-) I thank God for last Friday because I just had my chinese oral and it was such a blessing :-) I felt really cold before my paper and I was literally chattering.. When I sat in front of the examiners, the aircon was blowing right in front of me!! Thank God for His presence and angels, when I started to speak, I didnt feel cold at all. I tried to speak as well as I could and I'm just thankful because I really felt the joy of The Lord. As I left the room I was euphoric, literally jumping and running around. That day I might have been quite insensitive with my words because I was so giddy with joy.. People kind of assumed that I was so happy because I felt really confident with my paper and that might have partly been the case, but I really felt that my joy was because of God's overpowering goodness to me. How in the world did I suddenly because so happy and upbeat during my oral exam... I can't explain myself and make it seem logical, but I know that God is really good to me. Thank you God. :-)
Yesterday was really lazy day for me. My family and I intended to go for run & raising but there were thundery showers in the morning so we decided not to go. Went to the PPP thing with my aunt and grandma and had....
Tiramisu frappe!!!! Ahhh it was so good, but you have to mix the nuts and chocolate sauce at the top in :-) we watched transformers in the evening, it was kinda funny. I shall not complain about the movie. I had really bad cramps that day, but after my mum got me hot soup and some menstrual pills, it felt a lot a lot better:-) thank God!!!
Today I'm gonna be real determined to spend some time with God and do my work!!! No being lazy and touching my phone.. Ha ha... I'm doing that right now.. Okay bye!!!! :-D
