All My Bells Are Ringing
Lenka
Mistletoe and holly
Deck the halls
But you don't come around
And you don't call
Well it's just like the season to be lonely
And my heart is beating for you only
Take my heart this Christmas
And wrap it in a ribbon and a bow
Yes take my heart this Christmas
Take it wherever you go
Everybody has someone to hold
Nestle by the fire from the cold
But I don't hear the carols, they are singing
And I've only got one thing good for giving
Take my heart this Christmas
And wrap it in a ribbon and a bow
Yes take my heart this Christmas
Take it wherever you go
All my bells are ringing just for you
And I got no desire for someone new
Take my heart this Christmas
And wrap it in a ribbon and a bow
Yes take my heart this Christmas
Take it wherever you go
Take it wherever you go
I know Christmas is over, it's been 6 days, yes. But this song is nice, it fits my mood. And I haven't exactly done everything on my to-do list in the previous post yet. I just cannot resist the temptation to rant. I am feeling so depresseddddddddd. So much for not posting anything depressing here.
This holiday has not only been fattening, but partly depressing as well.
Today's the last day of the year, and I'm so not looking forward to the next year. Or rather, I am looking forward to all the things I can do in the following year, but something from this year is pulling me back from gleefully skipping into the new year. Stupid, right?
I haven't done my New Year Resolutions. I am usually very enthusiastic about the hopes and possibilities a new year has to offer. But this time I just don't feel like into moving onto something new when there's so much unresolved, you know? This sucks.
Lenka songs are so sad (some of them). Hearing some of them makes me feel like crying. Ridiculous. I swear this will be the last sad post on this blog.
Happy New Year! To all the people who are happy. As for those who are writhing in loneliness like I am (or writhing in pain like Cheeyuan is, since he just got his braces on), have a very stupid new year. Blah

A few things for this post. (I foresee that this post will be a rather long one.)
First of all,
NOTE TO SELF:
HI THERE!
WHY ARE YOU ON 123HAGAO.BLOGSPOT.COM? PLEASE STOP WASTING YOUR TIME PROCRASTINATING AND GET ALL YOUR CRAP DONE.
A very vague and not-so-subtle reminder of the list of things you are to complete before you are allowed to click on the "New Post" button again:
1. Prefects
2. Homework
3. Miscellaneous
-
Today I went out with some great people! I had a wonderful day (though something besides my load of undone work is bugging me now. Will bring that up again later).
I went out with:
From L to R:
Tessa Nai, Koh HS and Lee Hua Ting.
Sometimes I feel quite bad cos everytime we go out we'll always suan HS like mad HAHA. I am so sorry :) I do mean it. (The apology, I mean.)
And also:
Cheryl Lim PJ!
I met HS at the bus stop near her house and we took a bus down to Far East Plaza. We reached Far East Plaza at 11.30 AM (which is way too early, most of the shops weren't even open yet) and met up with the others. Walked around, talked, ate, etc. It was fun.
We headed over to 313@Somerset. It's totally awesomeeeeee so much to look at over there. Especially at Forever 21, it's so much better than the other branches. First of all, it's bigger (4 floors!). Also, the things get more affordable as you make your way up. (Still, I don't understand how a skirt - an ugly one at that - can cost the same as a nice dress. Both were $40, in case you were wondering.) Funniest of all, we came to the really small section of the shop that was displaying lingerie. It was hysterical. There were some ugly bras there sold for $31. Can you believe it? There were shiny/decorative stones embellished all over them. It's damn damn damn ugly. And for $31. Goud. We kept laughing at the bras. Also there were some that were lacy and had a leopard print design - sold for $13. No doubt an attempt to make the wearer look or feel provocative/exotic. It's nothing short of ridiculous, though. Seeing that, um, unique design, Ris Low references started flying all over the air automatically.
I saw the skirt that I almost bought from the F21 US website. It was there on the racks, and guess what was the price indicated on the price tag? $19!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so going to buy it when I go back there next year with Tessa. Yayyyyyyyyy
Oh before we went to Forever 21, there was a year-end sale at Cotton On. That was where they took the photo (the one where they were wearing the sunglasses). We also went to Action City. Somehow, though it is smaller in size to its JP counterpart, it features some products which appeal more to me. It is just so.. cute. (Sounds very bimbotic but I just can't find a better adjective to use.)
My shoes were killing me so I bought a pair of flats at Uniqlo. It's an ugly pair but it's the nicest design out of the other ugly pairs of slippers available at the store.
At Action City. There were playing with something. A mini whack-a-mole machine, which can be purchased there.
We went to a mobile shop. There were phones on display and this one was on so people could try and use it. This is what I typed in a message. I left it there so the next person who tries to use it will see it HAHAHA.
Cheryl. I had to camp outside her cubicle in the toilet to take this photo. Seriously.
On the phone with HT cos she ran off somewhere.
Saw this outside Ngee Ann City. You probably can't see it but it spells out 'Live Laugh Love'. Which I find nice, although it's something cliché.
After 313@Somerset we went to Orchard Central and roamed around the compound aimlessly. We looked at a lot of stuff but didn't buy anything. After Orchard Central we went back to Takashimaya to get some stuff to eat. After that, separated from Cheryl and HT. Went back to Far East Plaza with Tessa and HS. After ages of walking I bought a top and a pair of flats. They were forced to march around the place with me, how mean of me haha :) Sorry!
After that, took a bus home with HS, while Tessa went to meet her sisters.
I had a wonderful day. Until I saw something just now that screwed up my mood a little. Stupid. Okay don't feel like talking about it. Bye!

Can somebody explain to me
Why everybody is trying to be
Living like a celebrity
Doing what they see on MTV
Ice is cool, but I'm looking for more
Simple things is what my heart beats for
Cos that's me, I don't ask for much
Baby, having you is enough
Haha I keep listening to this song. It's just catchyyyy but sounds like an Indian song LOL.
I'm so happy today, cos I just bought my new school shoes. I'm gonna stow them somewhere till school reopens, if my mum sees them I'm so dead. I love my new shoes!! They are my source of happiness for today. Yayyyyyyyyy
Was like feeling sooooooooo... Upset last night. But I talked to the GOD OF CHOCOLATES and it was betterrrrrrrrrrrr. HAHAHA. Iono maybe it just feels better knowing that someone's feeling just like you are. Like someone knows how you feel, not just claiming to know it but really understanding it. Does this sound very sadistic? In any case, 谢谢你, noob dog. LOL.
Someone told me today I looked like I gained weight. I looked in the mirror and felt/looked fatter. THANKS. (No sarcasm.) I am so going to go exercise now.
But before that.. I'm going for the X'mas Party now. Bye 8)

Watching some World's Most Amazing Videos thing in Jiting/Jikai's room now. Omfg it's damn scary. There was this guy that tried to do a back flip from off a vending machine. He hit his feet first, then knees, then he went face down. What the hell, then he broke like don't-know-what-else and got a concussion. His nose was bleeding, he was muttering "I told you I was gonna regret it" and it's just really freaky in general. I used to want to get knocked down by a car just to experience how it feels like (as stupid as this sounds) but now I don't want this to happen because it is really freaky.
Am going back tomorrow.
The guys (Jiting, Jikai, Lionel, Jianzhe, Kengyi, Keng Munn) are screaming/shouting in the beds now cos they got freaked out HAHAHA. On the TV screen, some guy just jumped off a building or something. I'VE NO IDEA HOW KAH SHIN CAN BE TOTALLY OBLIVIOUS TO THEIR CRIES, AND SHE'S STILL USING JIANZHE'S LAPTOP.
Yesterday was fun - I went to Kah Shin's room at night. Read out SOMEONE's blog and it was mad funny. Kah Shin showed me the blog. Lol she's damn evil. We kept laughing at the blog writer and I kept reading out lines of the blogs melodramatically.
Am going back tomorrow (lol just realised it's the second time I'm saying this) and my 2 cups of maggie mee are in Kah Shin's room.
Sidetrack: OMGOMGOMOGMGOMG WTF BRITTANY MURPHY DIED?!?!?!?! LIKE, YESTERDAY??? I DIDN'T KNOW OMG ): She's like one of my favourite actresses. Not in top 10, but still. This is horrible ): I have only seen her in Uptown Girls, along with Dakota Fanning. SADDDDDDDD. She's only 32, ):
Song I Like #2
Undiscovered - Ashlee Simpson
Sad song! Haha. It was omnipresent in my life when I was in Sec 1. No idea why.
I don't really know what to say about this song because I am too distracted/stunned by the fact that Brittany Murphy, whom I've just seen on my portable DVD screen only a few months back spinning around as Molly Gunn in Uptown Girls, is now dead and probably lying in a coffin.

Thanks to everyone who remembered my birthday :)
Next time, I am so not going to post a birthday wishlist on my blog. I mean I do want the stuff but whenever I do get the stuff I want I'm embarrassed/guilty.
谢谢你大哥 (Weili) and 小妹 (Samuel)!!!!
Garghzxz the room so noisy cos everyone's gaming. Okay that aside:
Special commendation for Weili and Samuel - for gatecrashing Fuhua and lying to the security guard lol???? Weili told the guard that he's P6 which is like so unbelievable cos he's so tall! -_- LOL.
I am so tired nao so I'm lazy to continuezxzxzxz gah.
Also...
HARD ROCK HOTEL FTW. (\/)
In Tingting's room nao LOL. With Keng Munn, Kengyi, Lim Bin, Jikai, Jiting, Lionel, Jianzhe, Kah Shin and Jiim (yeah his name has two 'i's lol). Everyone's either playing DoTA or Daidi O: Sian ah! Jianzhe using hairband now LOLOL. I swear by the end of this trip I will get a photo of that man.
Finally, thanks again to everyone who remembered about my birthday. :) I appreciate it.
Stages of My Birthday
Stage 1:
1 month before birthday - relatively excited! Starts rambling crap about presents.
Stage 2:
3 weeks before birthday - excitement increases. Officially starts acting 不要脸, proceeds to post birthday wishlist on blog.
Stage 3:
1 week before birthday - starts to feel bored/jaded. Nervous, even. Don't really feel like celebrating my birthday already.
Stage 4:
3 days before birthday - wants presents but doesn't feel like celebrating.
Stage 5:
Day of birthday - doesn't know what to do. A bit no mood to celebrate.
And I've realised this happens EVERY YEAR. Like last year I stayed at home and rotted lol :X This year was fun though.
Will post again in a while.
P/S LIZHENG IS A PORC. Evidence:
Lizheng: LOL shhhh
must be waiting for ppl to wish u happy belated birthday right? haha
Me: no la SIAO LOL

Photos from yesterday:
Went out with these four:
From background to foreground: Felicia, Gabbie, Gregory, Darren Lee.
Other photos can be found at Gabbie's blog, she nabbed some from my phone haha. Lazy to upload.
Went shopping with Sally Chua today, she went mad LOL. Walked, talked, ate, gossiped, shopped! She bought a lot of stuff. On my way meeting her, my flats collapsed apart -_- Had to buy a new pair at Far East. The stuff at Topshop is so expensive :/ F21 was much better. But frankly I can't find much nice stuff from the F21 and Topshop at ION Orchard? Weird. BB bought a pair of sunglasses from F21. We went to Cotton On and bought the same dress =) When I came out from the fitting room after trying to dress on she asked me if it was nice and I nodded excitedly and she laughed. She paid for my dress. Thanks BB :)
Today was fun. Am tired. I forgot what I wanted to post about. Bye.
OH I REMEMBER NOW.
You may want to skip the following paragraph if you are a guy.
Had a look at the DKNY Be Delicious in Green Apple, and also in Peach Blossom. I didn't know which one to buy!!!!!! The one in Green Apple had a crisper, more fresh scent but it was rather flat. The Peach Blossom one smelled sweet and really nice but I was afraid that it would be a bit too over because what I am looking for is a sweet but crisp and fresh scent (lol which basically is a mixture of the two but it's not like you can mix them together). I didn't know which one to buy. The bottle was so cute too. The Peach Blossom one was more popular with the masses. But Megan is using the Green Apple one :/ I can't decide which one I want because both are equally appealing!!!!!!!
All you care about is your darling son. Lol.
You spend thousands of dollars on him for tuition, 也不见得他考得特别优秀. 随便你啦，你高兴就好 lor. Note: Jinjie did not have any tuition at all and he scored 260. And who was the one who called Jinjie a bad influence? Lol. More like your son's a bad influence on Jinjie.
You have high hopes for him all because the fengshui results show that he's going to have a beautiful future ahead of him. Sometimes I secretly wonder if you are just sticking to him because you believe he's going to strike it big in the future and you're going to live off him. (Sounds very evil, unlike something a mother would do but I can't help but think this way.)
I will be coming back on the 22nd and all you can think about is, that on that particular day, your son will be receiving his PSLE posting results.
As for how you treat me, I guess you have done adequately enough as a mother, however I just do not feel the emotional connection with you, please stop trying to force it out. Not gonna happen. And all because I refuse to go for a so-called moral/values class hosted by that cult you are in, I am, in your eyes, a rebellious teenager that is childish, juvenile, and completely incapable of thinking and making mature decisions.
I do not give a shit about your favouritism and particular liking towards your son. You refuse to admit it but the whole world can see it. And I don't think that you're blind to it, you are just adamant - completely unwilling to accept the inconvenient truth.
It is not like I am jealous about not being treated the way you treat him, and I don't feel inferior because you are lavishing more of your attention on him. "He's a problem kid, he needs someone to keep tabs on him all time lest he goes astray, he's clever but not putting his intelligience to full use..." I have heard all of that. I understand that you need to spend more time with him. So he will evolve into the genius you want him to be.
I am used to it because it's been so many years of favouritism. And please don't deny that you do not succumb to favouritism because 7 years back you'd told me while I was folding clothes with you that I was your favourite. Which I felt happy about, but guilty too because it was unfair to my siblings.
Aiya whatever la. You are my mother and you love me. I know that. You just love your son more lol. If not why would you call your son handsome when he has a major breakout? And my complexion is comparatively better but I'm being told by you that I'm ugly. Lol
Facial complexion is probably a very childish and superficial way to show that you are biased towards him. But whatever. Things go way deeper and further than that.
AND AND AND, I'm not angry or sad. Just felt like ranting.

Fun talking to strangers.
Me: hello.
Stranger: hi
Me: where are you from?
Stranger: China
Stranger: and u
Me: oh sorry, i dont talk to people with lousy english
You have disconnected.
Have talked to people from England, US, Korea, Istanbul (Turkey), China (-.-), Portugal and a few more I can't remember. I added the guy from Korea but I don't think we are going to talk and I might delete him soon.
Goodnight.
Post note: Deleted the people I added cos don't feel like talking to them again.

Am currently working on the design for the Orientation tee.
I'm so proud of myself, suddenly. LOL.
I just spent the last hour organizing my fonts and looking for a suitable font for the front part of the shirt. AND I'VE FOUND THE PERFECT ONE! I'm so happy.
Back to work.

Yesterday:
Prefects meeting in the morning at 10 AM, for Orientation. I was late as usual, got there at 10.10 AM. Need to kick this habit of being late all the time. Talked and stuff, it struck me once again how much I had to do and how little time I had. A little bit stressed but didn't think too much about it, changed clothes, said goodbye to Jing Yong and went to eat prata with Jeslyn, Yi Lun, Hai Song, Brendan and Ben Chia. Ate and talked and told them stuff about Taiwan. Discussed Prefects' stuff. Left and went to Clementi, Yi Lun went along with me cos he had nothing to do.
Got to kbox, said goodbye to Yi Lun then went up. Sally came out and brought me into the room, Lizheng wasn't singing. Zhixian said "Hi" to me. As usual Kenny was the one getting high. I must commend Kenny and Lizheng though, for singing 梁山伯与茱丽叶 together:
Kenny： 我爱你, 你是我的 Tan Lizheng~ 我愿意变成你的 Chen Hong Hwee
Together： 幸福的每一天 浪漫的每一夜 把爱永远不放开 I Love You
Lizheng： 我爱你, 你是我的 Kenny Tan~ 我愿意变成你的 Chen Li Zheng
Together： 幸福的每一天 浪漫的每一夜 美丽的爱情祝福著 未来
And it was hilarious. Though it might not sound hilarious here. Anyway it was fun. Ate MOS for dinner, Kenny treated me LOL.
Now that I'm done recapping, here is what I really want to rant about:
I'm stressed, not incredibly stressed but still stressed. It's getting on my nerves. Just now I scrambled awake at 8.47 AM and immediately looked at the clock. Luckily, I'm not late. I've got tuition later and I'm supposed to wake up early. When I fell back into my bed the details of the dream I had was slowly dissipating but I tried holding on to the more memorable details and amongst them were:
1. Coach Zhang. CAN'T BELIEVE IT, why am I dreaming of her!!!!!!! And her maggie mee hair. In the dream she saw me, it was when school reopened and I'm in Sec 4. She saw me and said, "你是不是新的中一学生?" What the hell.
2. I dreamt that I was rushing through my proposals. Now I am feeling utterly stressed because the reality is, I've got tons of proposals to do for Orientation and I've got literally VERY LITTLE time (because I'm still going to Penang. There is Wifi there and I'm bringing my laptop but that probably means I'll still have to do my proposals there), and this fact is smacking me hard in the face. And I don't want to screw this up, I want Orientation to be great. Stupidstupid, I ought to get to work like NOW and stop blogging.
3. The Orientation tee. I have practically little, or no inspiration. Why are my creative juices not working? I am not particularly worried about the Orientation banner because that can be done when I'm back from Penang, banners don't take very long. BUT THE TSHIRTS. I need to come up with a design, liaise with the agent a few times, collect orders, submit the orders, etc etc etc. Not forgetting the fact that our agent is rather... Inefficient. Ben Chia had to call him again and again and again.
4. Homework! This I have not touched at all. The amount of notifications from Ace-Learning in my e-mail inbox is threatening. AND AND AND, I don't actually have all my homework because I didn't go for the last 2 days of Headstart, :/
TUITION SOON. Can't wait to see Rachel and Qilin.

Hi I'm back. I'm currently sitting on the bed with my hair wrapped up in an towel. Unglam, unglam!!
THE WORLD IS INFESTED WITH FLIRTS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND I REALLY CANNOT STAND IT, WALAO. AND I HATE HOW MUCH THIS IS ANNOYING ME.
Now that was completely off topic.
Anyway, I'm back! I'm currently sick. No mood to blog. BYE.

Hello! Am in Taiwan now. Can't log into Facebook, which sucks.
Will be back on the 4th.
On a lighter note, my birthday is coming!
Wondering what to get for me?
I know it is a pain to go out and choose a present (at least it is, for me. Because I always have no idea what to choose, I'm always afraid that the recipient wouldn't like it). Hence, you may select something from a wide range of presents here:
*Note: They are purposefully vague so you may still add a unique/personal touch to your present.
1. Food! I love to eat. Nothing disgusting, please.
2. Bangles - my current obsession. Something simple would be good.
3. Shoes. I am a size 5 or 6.
In the event where you do not have enough money and/or can't decide what to get, don't worry. The next best alternative? Money. Money presented in the form of cash or cheque would be highly appreciated, no matter what amount you give. This money would go to the following causes:
1. Settling my phone bills
2. New school shoes for the next year (unless I manage to find a pair in Taiwan or Penang)
3. Or it will simply be kept in my bank account until I find a use for it.
Should you wish to, you may ask me what I prefer to receive. Please do not be shy, I am not very particular about the element of surprise. (Actually I am but clearly it does not seem that I'll be pleasantly surprised this year.)
Lastly, in the unfortunate case that you are really broke or is simply too lazy/busy to get a gift (this I completely understand), a simple "Happy Birthday" would suffice. It is accepted in any form. (However, I'll be away on the 18th so I cannot guarantee that I will receive you message should you send it out too late in the day.)
Goodbye! I need to go. Some irritating China tourist is hovering behind me now complaining about how long I've been at the computer.
P/S:There is a Sec 4 guy in this tour who's from Maris Stella. His name is Royce, which is so cool! Just like the brand of chocolate.

Hi I'm here to post about the Hong Kong trip.
Day 1
There was nothing much for this day because it was just the plane ride.
Sat next to Zhixian and Jiaying on the plane. Yongxiang and Lizheng were behind us. It was so funny cos Jiaying was so excited when the plane took off ("要飞了!!! 我可以看到那个翅膀!!"). Zhixian said Yongxiang kept kicking her chair. Zhixian was mad squealing and she grasped my arm when the plane took off. LOL
Watched (500) Days of Summer with Zhixian during the plane ride.
Day 2
We had dim sum breakfast in the morning!
After that we went to some museum. There was an exhibition on Lydia Sum aka Fei Fei, amongst other things. I DIDN'T KNOW SHE DIED UNTIL I WENT TO THE MUSEUM. Walked around with Lizheng, Yongxiang and Sally.
There was this machine that allowed you to take a picture of your face and then they'd edit it digitally to make you look like you have make up. We tried it but the results weren't obvious!
I look super retarded.
We left the museum and went to this place called.. Zhang's Village. LOL. Or Zhang's House. I can't remember actually.
The guy in red pants is our "escort", Tim. He sucks cos he's rather guailan and he's vair vair childish.
After visiting Zhang's Village we went to this temple. There was a spinning wheel in the temple, they said that if you spinned it you would have good luck. The people there demonstrated to us how to spin it - you have to spin it in a clockwise direction and then put your hands together and bow to the statue. I told Jiaying to spin it anti-clockwise LOL. (But she didn't)
This is apparently some important monument in Hong Kong - I can't remember what it is because I wasn't listening to Uncle Chris (our tour guide) on the bus.
Here are the teachers that went with us. The guy on the left is Uncle Chris, our tour guide. Then it's Ms Lee, Ms Wani (roll eyes), Mr Koh and Mr Tan!
After that we went to Repulse Bay. On the way there, we drove past Jackie Chan's house!!! And I think Bruce Lee's old house too.
There was another temple there too, but it was much smaller.
Photographer Tan!
We tried taking jump shots at the beach after that. There were many failed attempts - the successful ones are in Sally's camera.
There was a Starbucks outlet at Repulse Bay - I bought a blueberry muffin and shared it with Sally. It was heated up and it tasted heavenlyawesomegood. Especially because it was (sort of) freezing there in Hong Kong. The kind where you know you won't die but it was still annoyingly cold.
We drove up to Victoria Peak to visit Madame Tussand's - in other words, the Wax Museum! I've been to the Shanghai one before back in 2007, with Ziyi, Grace and Gabbie.
Us with Michelle Yeoh (who, even as a wax figurine, has a very sophisticated aura).
I also zilian-ed with Jay Chou!!!
Zhixian with Nicole Kidman.. with the paparazzo behind them!
Zhixian clinging onto Angelina Jolie. She said she was jealous that I got to hug Brad Pitt's arm!!
Cecelia Cheung, with a brilliant smile despite the sex scandal. LOL
We also took photographs with Janice Vidal!!!!! (Aren't you jealous, Kwan Boon? LOL) But I have to admit that her wax figurine looks VERY spastic.
I also took a photo of Ayumi Hamasaki's wax figurine, but it didn't look like her so I deleted it.
I can't remember who they are.
Princess Diana! My favourite member of the royal family, even though she's dead. She's an INFP too. :)
Lee Kuan Yew, looking stoic as usual.
We also got to pose with Barack Obama!
Can you imagine how long we had to queue to take just one measly photo with him? And we couldn't have any retakes cos the other people would just complain loudly. AND part of the reason why we took a long time to queue up was because those people (e.g. China people) kept cutting queue. Some people just have no sense of being civilly considerate.
Hitler!
The opera guy! I've no idea who he is.
Zhixian and Sally with William Shakespeare.
Me with Mozart! (The painter. LOLOLOL)
Pablo Picasso.
I am Albert Einstein's personal hairstylist.
Astro Boy!
Random dude we don't know. He's an architect, if I recall correctly.
Marilyn Monroe! (And Sally, who looks like she's in a maternity dress.)
There was this haunted house in the wax musuem. We had to go in groups of 8, and go in single file. Lizheng was the last, with Sally in front of him. I was in front of Sally, and Jiaying was in front of me. I don't know who was in front of Jiaying. Anyway, I kept my eyes closed throughout the whole thing. Sally was grabbing onto my shoulders tightly, haha.
Look at how traumatised we are.
Presenting... Sally's boyfriend (according to Mr Tan)!!!
LOL.
Lizheng, disrupting Elvis Presley's performance.
Hard core fans. LOL.
MJ.
Beatles. LOL. I want their hair! (Not)
They love Teresa Tseng (Deng Lijun).
So after the Wax Museum, we took the tram downhill.
Day 3
This was the day we did our CIP! The old folks' there were very hospitable and welcoming. They're a million times better than Singapore's old folks in general. (Having us there just brightened up their day. Not bragging or whatever - it's true.) It's pretty amazing how our presence can have such a major effect, I think they would have enjoyed our stay even if we didn't perform and just kept them company.
He was so cute, he talked to us in broken Chinese mixed with Cantonese.
We had to blow up balloons for our game with them later on!
And they were slacking. LOL.
They had fun with the game, even though it was extremely simple. I cannot fathom how people like things like that - all they did was hit balloons back and forth but they were laughing and having so much fun. Maybe when we get older we would enjoy simplicity, and we'd be more easily content, :/ I wish I could learn to be like that.
I tried to teach the old granny I was assigned to how to take a photo using a digital camera, because she didn't want to be in the picture.
But yeah, as you can see her finger is at the side. Anyway I look extremely retarded that day cos I wasn't wearing contact lenses. One of the lenses fell out while I was wearing it and it disappeared somewhere.
:)
After that, we went to ANOTHER museum. Didn't take much photos there because there was nothing much that was of interest.
After the museum, we went to Ladies Street (女人街) to do some shopping. We had around 2 hours. Didn't buy much, but I bought contact lenses to replace the one I dropped. It was cheap, only S$28. Bought 2 sets of bangles, pretty pretty :)
We reported at the gathering point around 10 minutes late. I heard Tim tell Mr Koh, "They are always late one what." I wanted to kick his face. Then when we got on the bus, Ms Wani said, "My dear, ask you to meet at 6 PM, not 6.30 PM." Then I retorted, "It's not even 6.30 PM yet!" and walked away. After that when we were going off the bus for dinner, she took the opportunity to whine once again: "Delay delay, later I cannot see my Symphony of Lights!"
After dinner, we strolled around the Avenue of Stars.
This is the only one I took because I didn't know any of the other stars. The whole Avenue of Stars was a copy of Hollywood's Walk of Fame, seriously. Hollywood's one looks much more classier.
Anyway, we then strolled to the end of the walk to view to Symphony of Lights. It was nothing amazing actually, more like a disappointment. Instead of ogling at the lights show, Lizheng and I were saying that it must cost a lot to display the light show.
While the show was still ongoing, we stopped looking at the sky and walked around instead. We then saw this:
After the show, Mr Tan took this photo for us. I was rather infuriated while we had to take this photo, shan't talk about it here.
Drove back to the hotel to put our stuff, the teachers then brought us out for dessert!
(From L to R)
Tan Lizheng, Tan Kai Wen, Tan Boon Hwee! HAHA.
At the dessert shop. My face looks fat.
This was pretty nice, when you eat the mango it has this fizzy taste, like when you drink a fizzy drink. I liked it.
Day 4
Irony: On Day 3 Ms Wani complained that we were late and she would miss her Symphony of Lights. However, on this morning, she, together with Ms Lee, were late for 20 minutes because apparently, their morning call didn't come. It's still a lousy excuse.
Went on a cable car ride! We went up to Ngong Ping Village. The ride was around 15 minutes I think? The view was, in a word, picturesque.
I look fat in this photo!!
Zhixian blinked. LOL
This is our tour guide, Uncle Chris (in orange)!!! Everytime we're supposed to gather at a point, I'd always look for him in his orange jacket. He's very nice and understanding. He's a smoker, and I only knew about it the last day he was with us (which is Day 5). Nonetheless, he's a very good tour guide :)
Us with Uncle Chris! Yongxiang and Lizheng didn't want to be in the picture.
At the village, there was this tourist site. Um, or at least that's what I think it is. Anyway, it was this humongous Buddha statue. You have to climb up 268 steps to reach the top.
It was freezing up there! The wind was swirling around in a rage.
To keep ourselves warm, we bought Vitasoy! Because the Vitasoy they sell there was heated up and it just felt good to hold the packet/can of Vitasoy in your hands.
Speaking of which, when we were walking to where the Buddha statue was, I was raving to Lizheng about how warm the Vitasoy was and how it warms your hands when you hold it. Tim came over and said, "Wa, very warm ah, can let me hold?" I said, "No, don't want," and snubbed him. HAHAHA. He then said, "Don't want then don't want la! Hmpfff," and walked away. CHILDISH.
Before we took the pictues, I walked around with Lizheng and we gossiped. It was pretty fun!
After lunch (which was entirely vegetarian), we waited for our bus to come.
We're all wearing purple!
(Now that I'm looking closely at this photo, I recall that I was wearing Lizheng's gloves on that day! He loaned them to me.)
The next stop was a fishing village, which was relatively boring. Bought gloves and plasters there.
Saw this dog there, it's so cute!!!
We were late meeting up. Tim GL-ed again, and as again I felt like kicking him in the face. Tskkkk. They brought us to this shopping centre which was in an urban area. Didn't buy anything cos everything was too expensive!!!! But the shoes from K-Swiss were damn chio >: But I'd be S$71 poorer if I bought them so...
Had dinner at Food Republic - Yongxiang was emo-ing the whole time. He barely ate and just sprawled all over the table and slept.
Day 5
One word: DisneyLand!
We had to attend the workshop on animation. It was pretty fun - saw Aaron Chew in the café, super coincidental. He was stunned when I called his name.
We were asked to write our names and stick the stickers onto ourselves. Look at Mr Tan's!!
Cute chair!
This was an original/initial sketch of The Little Mermaid, I think. The Little Mermaid is one of my favourite Disney movies.
We also watched a 3D show, it was great! But a little bit dizzying.
Lizheng, LOL
(Look at Jiaying and Mr Tan in the background LOL)
Our gloves are of the same colours of the 3D glasses we were given. (We switched gloves today - the black ones are mine.)
This is the guy that brought us around for the tour, his name is Ed, short for Edward. (I look ugly in this photo)
LOL
I like this photo!
This photo too :)
Eat eat eat, no wonder you're a fei ju (肥猪 in Cantonese LOL)!
We went to do more shopping after that.
This is cute! But I've got no one to use it with la -_-" Lizheng kept asking us to buy things. He kept saying, "This is DisneyLand, just buy la!!!!!!" but he barely bought anything himself. He was there to hold the basket for us. He kept telling us to throw the things we were considering to buy into the basket LOL. And that once we put it in the basket, we can't take it out anymore.
The stupid shop(s) that we spent so much in.
Before our dinner, we went on a ride, I can't remember the ride's name. After that ride we headed over to Space Mountain. We rode it again and again. We had dinner first, and then went back to it.
So after dinner when we went back to it, we went on it about twice because we had to gather to watch the fireworks and then leave the place. The last time we were supposed to go on the ride, Lizheng suggested something super funny. Which we did. Not gonna mention it here! :)
The fireworks shot up into the sky right above Sleeping Beauty's castle. It was chioprettybeautiful HAHAHA. BUT the other tourists kept squeezing and pushing, TSK
The huge Christmas tree.
We went back to the hotel. Took a picture with Uncle Chris because it's his last day with us:
To be continued. (I'm almost done)
