 I can't.... Prom happened so long ago and I'm only doing it now ahhh. How am I going to blog 500+ pictures of my China trip... Hahaha. This is purely for memory's sake because this is my first prom in my life so far!!! In spite of revealing my cheapo auntie ways, I will say the pink dress I really liked was from taobao! Ahhhh. I'm sharing because it was really a good deal! It had really good material and was above my expectations! I didn't pay that much for it too, including shipping because I went to look out for ezbuy coupons hehehe. Ask my in real life if you want to buy a dress from taobao!! I can share the shop LOL hahhaha
 Tanya came over to my house to help me get ready and I'm so thankful for her because I really wouldn't know how to do my make up by myself!!! She helped me to do my brows and my eye shadow. We had to look up make up tutorials for the make up look and it was actually kinda fun to do it. THANK YOU TANYA <3 p="">
 Hahaha my barely there make up. You cant really see it in camera, but it's sparkly in real life okay!!! hahaha.



 At the place!!! Everyone was so dressed up :) :)
 Feeling sad because it may be one of the last times I see my classmates :((

 My best friends in class!!! :) Andrea, Adolphus and Kang Wei. They are so nice and unique in their own ways. Life would probably so much more miserable without their presence in class so I really thank God for them! Kang Wei and Andrea help me out in my school work so much. I really hope they do really well, get 45 points and will walk in the path God has for them ^_^ Adolphus doesn't really help me in school work as much as them, but he is really kind in his own way. Super annoying sometimes. One thing I really see is that I believe he is a friend that won't run away when his friends are in trouble, purely out of his good heart. Yeah! I learn so much from their individual characters and amazingly, we nearly have a good laugh all the time :-) Please stay in contact guys, can't wait to attend your weddings!!!! :-) And see Adolphus eat his words when he has a child heheheh.
 The most memorable of people, Alston Poh! It's quite sad that this will be one of the last I see of him.. Aiyo I forgot to take a photo with Joshua Yuen :(((((((

 My class 6.06!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't really know what to say. So much mixed emotions. From the time I first stepped in the class till now, two years later, who would have known what would happen? I think I'm going to start being cheesy. I admit I don't really talk to other girls as much as Andrea, and I don't know why. They are honestly really nice, but I don't know if my personality itself causes people to feel distant. Or whatever. My class is so diverse itself, with so many people of different personalities coming together. I think we are a bit cliquey, but that itself can't really be helped because it happens all the time. Like you don't notice it when you are in a main clique itself I think. It was so nice meeting people in this class. We have really smart people, people who are really ambitious and have big dreams for themselves. People who like are so sociable and really nice genuine people, which I really thank God for their presence in my life. I think I learnt a bit from each one of them. Coming out of MGS, which was kind of my sheltered home, where I hardly got to meet people of different personalities and values, my time in ACSI was really eye opening in a way. I feel like so awkward sometimes, because other people are like way ahead in this aspect, but I'm still learning, still learning how to accept and love and be good friends while holding on to my beliefs!! I'm sad that I never got to have a good conversation with each person in my class (it was more hi, bye), but I really want to wish them the best in their lives. Each person has such a promising future and potential for a really good force. Ah~~ I didn't realise it then, but I realise it now. I was so awkward when I first met guys!!! I didn't even want to make friends with them!!! So embarrassing ahh.
 A really cool friend I got to meet in class, Yue Wen! She is like so independent and mature. She's goals man.
 Tessa, my deskmate for an entire year! I'm glad I got a photo with her :)
 Some of my MG friends which I still talk to from time to time in ACSI! :-) Stephanie!!! Which I see some mornings and am happy to talk to her about random things about life!!! Sad that I may not see her and her really cool personality anymore :/
 Erica and Andrea! :-) MG friends make me sooo happy. I forgot to take a picture with Iris, who was soo pretty that day!!!! I think I was intimidated by her prettiness that I procrastinated approaching her LOL.
 Sheryl! Ahh that perfect person. Really hope the best in your life!! ^_^
 And my primary school friend, Dan Yuet Yau! You know, the guys nearly all look the same as when they wear school uniform. And with my really good friend, Wei Jian :) Wei Jian is really kind and he really goes out of the way to help his friends and all!! His hobbies include throwing javelin, baking and cooking, playing guitar and games. I think hahaha. I will be trying to learn the guitar ehehehe
Taking a selfie!!!!!!! Thankful for all the good people I met in school. Sometimes it is like a roller coaster ride when my strong pillars of friendship like Sophia and Tammie are not around. Sometimes it's tough when I don't meet friends I get along immediately with and feel uncomfortable with for a long time.

Ahhh, thank God He has been faithful and has always been by my side. My faith and understanding of God's personality has increased. The reward is great for those who obey God. Okay, I feel bad now because these days I have been super slack with my devotion time.

JC has been so tough for me, I struggled so much in my academics some days. I really don't know how I got through it, but God has been so good, so kind and so sweet!!!

And at the end of JC, I made some good decisions and some bad. I don't regret anything, because God had a plan for it and made the best of it. I learnt plenty, not just studies, but really about how to get along with other type of people LOL. Which I am still learning haha. I am 18 this year and it's crazy. My 12 year old self would not believe how different I am right now, but still the same. Haha. Okay, I am going to watch the remaining of my drama, Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo! And do my devotion later >< Sorry!

I've been studying out a lot lately and it's a lot more interesting than staying at home. Hahaha. In the past month or so, there was a false fire alarm in the library and it was so funny because it has never happened to me before? The place I study also seems to be a hotspot for couples LOL. I've witnessed two couples kissing, okay. So much action for me, I don't even need to go to a cinema. And they're usually around our age! The first couple I saw kissing (they were directly in my view because they were at the opposite side of the next table) were secondary school age. So cringey. I grimace on the inside and change my seat. Nowadays when I see my favourite seat taken up by a couple, I'm just like AHHHHHHHHHH ;-(((((( So I try my best to go study really early so that I can get the seat first. Yes. Haha.

And today, at the spot I was studying, there was a middle-aged woman who got really really upset at someone on the phone and started shouting super loudly. It was so scary!! She randomly hit the candy machine next to the railing and it sounded like "THUN!". Then, she went on to the place next door and had a really loud argument with another lady. It was a little crazy. The police appeared. Which I thank God for. Thank God for a good and efficient police force in our country!! So yeah.. I'm so entertained by the things that go on around me when I study, cause it makes my day so fun. I've even met really sweet strangers who are so nice!!! Some of them have very nice clothes too haha. But then I come to this place where I feel like I want to find another place to study lol haha. I'll just be praying and I hope to find a place where I can buy cheap nice iced drinks, with nice music, good seats, little people and generally really good atmosphere. HAHA ookay..

Alright, I shall recount what happened yesterday, since I have decided it is momentous enough hahaha. I managed to run 5km at run and raising!!!!!!! What an accomplishment!!!!! It is to me haha. I remember feeling tired close to the 2km mark and feeling really tired when we were at the 4km mark and having to put in so much effort into each step after that. So thankful for wei jian, who kindly agreed to run at a slower pace with me haha. He really encouraged me to keep running. Ahhh i was really uncertain at points during the run if i could finish, but all thanks to God and my friend, managed to find the strength and perseverance to pull through!!!! It was a miracle!!! Praise the Lord. I still remember moments during the run when I was just so tired and I mumbled to my friend "Please help me." LOL. I was really exhausted after the run, but after that I was REALLY REALLY HAPPY. It's the feeling of doing something you thought you'd never have the strength to accomplish. 

A picture with my fellow tribe mates who went for the run as well! I kinda just took this photo off Grayce's instagram..... Whoops.Feeling kinda paiseh for wandering off after the run because i was feeling tired and leaving my cell brothers to look for me :-||||| ahh sry and thank you guys!! :-DD

In primary school, I was so unsporty and would nearly fail my 1.6km run. Truly, in the words of an unexpected friend who encouraged me when I was sec 1, there is no one who's not sporty, you just gotta go for it and try hard! Thank you God for building my confidence through sports these past few years. It has been such a valuable lesson of hard work and determination in my life. Which I hope I will not grow complacent and forget. (Which, in all honesty, I am very prone to. :-X) One thing that keeps me grounded is sports though, because I am nearly always not good at it and it's normal for me to be the slowest/worst so prayer is really important to bring me through. And through the grace of God, I am really encouraged to see myself improve when effort is being put in. :'))) Not so much for this run lah, because I didn't run enough for this. More for synchro actually haha. 




Also, we celebrated sean's birthday and we have 2 new members in our cell group who are joining us only for icebreakers. That's all! :-))) 

The phone camera flips your photo to the other side so you get to know how you look like from other people's perspective!!! Snapchat's camera gives you the mirror image which will make you look better!! I think.

Next we headed for the new ride!! Puss in boots!!! It has been more than a year since I last came with Tammie and Sophia, so quite a few things have changed!!! It's amazing, it's like going to USS again for the first time :-)))
We were blessed with amazing sunny weather yesterday! Thank God! It meant being able to play the whole day and having great lighting for pictures :-) Nextttt we ran straight to take the Cylon!!!! And thankfully we ran to those rides because we only waited for 15 minutes to take the Cylon :-) YESSSS. After that for the rest of the day, the waiting time was >30 minutes! IT WAS SUPER FUN :-) AHHHHHHHH. Me and Andrea agreed that they sped up the ride, because it was noticeably faster!!!! Which makes it super fun :-) Thankfully there were no technical difficulties. Walked along Egypt back to Jurassic Park :-)
We arrived at Jurassic Park at 11.10am and we waited half hour for the ride??? This is why you need to run to get to those rides. This is us on our way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Adolphus ordered sjora slushie and it was yummy! We went for the Canopy Flyer ride and I met this Chinese little girl who sat next to me. She had really pretty doe eyes and long curly eyelashes!!! She was really friendly too! Apparently a lot of people from her neighourhood (?) in Guang zhou come to Singapore. Her neighbor came to Singapore too. We went to Sesame Street, but the ride was closed... Oh well!!!!

Time came for lunch cause it was almost 1pm by then and our stomachs were grumbling... We initially thought of eating at the Malaysian Food Street because it will be way cheaper, but when we checked the prices, it was $7 for a plate of Hokkien Mee! We decided to eat at Ding Tai Fung instead, because the noodles were about $10 and it should taste way better. I thought it was really expensive, but I was also too hungry to argue hahaha. We were seated really quickly! The staff at the front were really nice, I was especially touched that they treated as real customers even though we're just teens and I was still wearing my cat ears. But!!! Don't eat at Ding Tai Fung, because the waiting time for food is 30 minutes! The food is yummy, but we were so hungry T_T Should've ate at RamenPlay or something T____T Thank God for the food though, it was really very yummy :-)))
Adolphus treated us xiao long bao yay!
After the meal, we headed back! Andrea got slushies!!!!!!!! Hahahah, she put too much ^^^^^^ I got ice cream from the Fat Friar's, which is pretty worth it because the heat was blazing!!! I love this picture because we are all eating! HAHAHA.
Yummy good time :-)
A nice picture I was able to capture because of the good lighting that day :-))) YAYYY. I love the sights and sounds there, it's like stepping into a fairy dream land!!! AHHHMAZING. Ahhhh I really want to bask in the sunlight again :-( Can't believe this was just yesterday!!!! #10000thanksgivings

Next up! We went to ride transformers and the human, both of which thankfully didn't take too long. :-) We were really blessed! In all, due to opportune timing and definitely God's goodness, we probably didn't wait more than half an hour for our rides :-) <3 p=""> We had to leave early at 4.45pm so after all that we went to take photos!!! This is at Shrek's hut :-)
Cute Andrea! Look at that good sunlight ~~~~~~ :-D

At times like these, a selfie stick would be appreciated. HAHAH.
We took another photo at the minion shop!!! I have to mention this!!!! It's really fun to kind of guess the nationalities of the tourists!!! It was mostly tourists yesterday. The Japanese dress up in cute costumes!!! I saw a family decked out in minion outfits! So cuteee. Either that or they dress in conservative, but trendy clothes. Clean cut, tucked out shirts and bucket hats!! Hehehe. The Koreans are really trendy! They usually have milky skin and so many of them have that reflective sunglasses! They are usually so well dressed and cool ~~

Anyway! This is an unfiltered shot! I posted one on insta that I edited with vsco, but I think it's overly done. The thing about insta is that I have the pressure to make my photos look nicer!!! At least on my blog, I can talk about all the random stuff I find cute and post unfiltered photos. I did crop the photo though heh.
Love this photo with Andrea :-) Her eyes are so big!
DA BUTTS hahahaahaha. I feel like my little sister.. I told Adolphus about the minions' butts and he said, "Are you 5?" :-((( Close, I'm turning 18!

Cute picture with Andrea again yay :-)))

Ending off the post with the entrance to the puss in boots and some sights and sounds of USS. It's lovely there :-))) Actually thinking of buying the 6 months pass after my IB exams! It will only be $88! Oh I have a TIP #4! Buy tickets from Qoo10! We managed to get our $64! Initially it was $66, but we got it at $64 because my wonderful mum is a frequent shopper at Qoo10 and got us discounts :-)

Ah.. I should really be studying more... Blogging actually drains a lot of time! I wonder what is my word count for this post.... I feel it might be up to 1k... Lol.. Yeah. My hardworking friend is doing up lit notes as I type, so I better get going. I wonder if everyone else but me is studying.... Oh gosh.... I'm going to end with a beautiful verse!

"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:2

*Time for dinner!!!!!!!!* *o*

Currently I have this random bubble of time when I am procrastinating doing my lit notes, while waiting to meet a friend for a movie later. So many thoughts in my head recently. I just want to update about life and be more thankful about every thing that has happened. A lot of good mundane things have happened lately and they may sound boring, but honestly these little things make my life so worth living. When I'm down, I wanna read this again to remind myself of the gift of life I have and it's beauty.



I actually don't really know where to start. (Also note most of my pictures are not very pretty heheh)

June 2016. Decided that if I didn't try to carefully plan my days, I'll end up procrastinating a lot. Thank God so much! I think I had a pretty relaxed holiday, but I still managed to revise quite a bit :-)))
We had a nice bbq dinner at home on father's day!!!! Beef in cabbage thingy. So yummy :-))))) Me and my friends like to eat this type of bbq buffet outside a lot, so it's quite a good idea to learn how to do it at home :-)))
The next day, we went to have lunch with my aunt and grandma! Strangely only went out with my aunt once this holiday!!! Usually we go out so many times. We went to cold storage for awhile. This is my sister sitting on the ledge before causing the black strip to fall, and leaving me and my brother to fix it.
Ate at itacho and I had chirashi! Or what I think it's called. It's not bad!! Though honestly I ate so much that I couldn't appreciate my sushi bowl much :-/ The soft shell crab roll is really nice! My sis and bro liked it too. Gloria ended up having a new favorite food... Eel! Which is surprising, because she normally isn't very adventurous with food. Her favorite food consists of noodles and egg. Yeah, she really loves eel though. She kept talking about it and my mum eventually bought eel from NTUC and microwaved it for her. Hehe.
We happened to see a finding dory booth at the first floor of the mall!!! We had to take the picture lying down and it was great fun.

Cute rapunzel Gloria got from her kinderjoy!!!


Went to do segway adventure! It was also part of the package deal. It was a chill, kind of recreational thing to do. Best part was seeing every one, even Matthew, participating. It was honestly really boring and I would never do it again. Having that experience with my family was really memorable though. Keeping this in my heart.




Family photo :-)

Was trying to draw the sideways view of my sister the other day with watercolour and Gloria went over her hair with black marker :O Her fringe is not like that. I hope I'll get better at drawing and painting one day!!! It's really fun to do and really therapeutic.
