I'LL BE BACK IN AUGUST

Hi everyone, HAPPY MARCH!! 🌸
Sorry that I have been really inactive and not updating my blog since forever😭

I'm afraid that I won't be active (again) for a period of time because there are a lot of things to settle before the start of my internship. Things are pretty hectic on my side right now but I can't wait to let go of some of my commitments and start focusing on things I've always wanted to do!! 😁

Apologies for not even updating because my schedule has been really cramped and
there's nothing much I can do about it sighpie😐

I promise that I'll update after my internship ends in around August,
WAIT FOR ME ALRIGHT!! 😆

As always - think positively and smile (like how i am in this pic hehe)

Take care~

1 WHOLE DAY SPENT WITH JIA WEN

Hello yall, so before school officially starts tomorrow (aww man why can't holidays be longer....) and that I'll be disappearing for the next 4-5 months (again LOL), I'm just gonna dedicate this blog post to this pretty gurl, who has been one of my closest friend in Secondary School, Jia Wen💖. 

Well, it has been quite a while since we met each other because we have been busy with our JC and Poly lives, but YAS FINALLY, we managed to meet each other again because we had the chance to😁. As you can tell from the title of this blog post, it's literally 1 whole day spent with her (hah sike, not 24 hours, but more of meeting her on Friday night and then meeting her again on a Saturday morning before going home in the evening, isn't that considered 1 whole day? Okay, moving on.)

It's gonna be a very very short blog post of just pictures of the 2 of us, 

cuz why not right? 😉

----

Both of us are known to be people who are ALWAYS late. By late, I mean around 30 minutes late. So yup, this time I was the one who came late HAHAHA (I didn't have a choice, but she understands hehe). We went to eat ramen and it was a good dinner talking session with her, GOOD CATCHUP GOOD CATCHUP HAHAHA

Most of the pictures were videos, but here are some pictures taken on the way back home on a Friday Night😝. It's just me being silly (as always, not surprised)

*Spot my pimple in the middle of my forehead, quite fade but the filters did a pretty good job in concealing it*

  

Met her again in less than 12 HOURS, on a Saturday morning.

This time she late HAHAHAHA (it's okay, it's fair and square🌚)

Glo up HAHAHA (jokes, only Jia Wen glo up lah, I still look the same)

Twinning on a Saturday (same same but different different)

Exploring m&m near USS!! (omg I wanna go USS again😭😭)

LOOK AT THIS CUTIE OMG (yup we're being tourists in Sentosa🤣)

I'm being an awkward potato again🤓

Some selfies while waiting for the shuttle busSsSs😚

(my eyebags ain't that bad because I used Jia Wen's concealer LOL HAHAHA)

LOOK HOW CHUBBY MY CHEEKS ARE OMG NOOO

Some pictures taken by Jiawen of me being awkward again😨

LOOK AT MY AWKWARD HANDS OHMYGOODNESS😳

Jia Wen just needs ONE picture that makes her look so natural 😍😭

TOILET SELFIE CUZ WHY NOT😀

Last few pictures before going home🙁

Changed spot but I look more unglam HAHAHAH

(THE SUN IS TOO BRIGHT FOR ME TO OPEN MY EYES)

I REALLY TRIED OKAY, I TRIED REALLY HARD 

BUT STILL CANNOT OPEN MY EYES HAHA

I look like I just woke up from my 4 hours of nap HAHAHA

(i was really struggling to open my eyes cuz of the bright sunlight, 

how can jiawen look normal even when the sun is shining so brightly into our faces😰)

Okay my eyes look normal here, but my facial expression was like 

"omg save me from the bright sun shining into my eyes" HAHAHAHA

Anyways, shall end off this blog post with a throw-back picture that was taken a couple years ago and it was given to Jia Wen as her sweet 16th birthday present hehe💖. Well, this picture was copy and paste from another blog post, so do not mind the quality, but I really treasure these pictures a lot.

Honestly, I must say I've really missed the times spent during my secondary school days (not a time to get nostalgic now gerry, school starts tmr....). I'm not trying to say that I do not enjoy my current poly life. I still do enjoy but not as much as what I've enjoyed back when I was still age 15-16. Though there were O's to deal with, there were still fun times when we stayed back after school just to finish up our homework and doing past year papers (ya we are really nerds istg LOL). Besides Jia Wen, my other close friends (yall know who yall are keke) definitely made my secondary school journey a more memorable one😭.

Even though we have drifted quite a bit and not keep in touch with each other for quite a number of months, I'm glad things weren't awkward and we're still actually comfortable with each other, like how we were in secondary school HAHAHA. That day was definitely a great catch-up again, updating each other about our lives, feels good to know how you've been doing these past few months👀. 

To Jia Wen: I know JC life is tough, but you got this okay!! You're actually 3/4 through your JC Journey and trust me, all your hard efforts will be paid, so continue striving and achieving the goals you've set for yourself alright. I'm always 8 numbers away from you (okay maybe not always cuz poly life ain't great also LOL HAHAHA). Anyways, can't wait to see you soon!! All the best alright💗

Alright signing off, see yall in maybe(???) 4-5 months' time, most likely start of March I'll revive again HAHAHA (watch me be inactive for the next 4-5 months). Take care~

ART ZOO + MARINA BAY CARNIVAL

Hey guys, so it's actually D-Day of me flying to Shanghai (totally editing this blog post while waiting for my flight)!! To be very honest, I'm quite excited and scared at the same time mainly because I'm not sure what I'm expecting in a country that I'm visiting for the very first time. Well, 3 weeks in a foreign country without my parents, but solely depending on me myself and I, it'll definitely be a challenge to me. Hopefully, I'll be able to enjoy 

and at the same time survive the 3 weeks HAHAHA😂.

Anyways, back to the main topic of this blog post LOL (sorry i tend to divert very quickly). This was actually my first time visiting the Art Zoo with YuHong Jie and it was actually worth the experience. Not only can you take amazing pictures, it also brings back those childhood memories of going to those bouncing castles😛.

Fun fact: We didn't actually plan to go Art Zoo but since we have never been there before and there was still a few hours before the Marina Bay Carnival opens, 

so why not fully utilise our time right? 😉

-----

Walking across the DNA Bridge (just kidding, it's the Helix Bridge) to Art Zoo!!

Bought our tickets🎫 but going in under the extremely hot sun🌞

Hi YuHong Jie👀

We're inside Art Zoo!! Time to explore🙌

Since the weather was extremely hot, we decided to seek shelter first. Thus, our first stop:

// The Beetles //

where there are many bouncy balls with an emoji imprinted on it.

There were quite a number of people there but we managed to find one bouncy ball😎

Why not take a picture with a pink ladybug, since both my shirt and my bag matches that colour right? 😝💖

We decided to go to the other end, before deciding to go in a anti-clockwise direction😁

Next stop:

// BBB - Bubbly Bear Bath //

Well, this inflatable is wet so we needed to take off our shoes (and socks). 

As much as I find this inflatable cute, I didn't like the smell of the rain water🙃

But look at us, so tiny HAHAH

HAHAHA LOOK AT HER

(till now I'm still confused if it's a bee or not, because the wings cannot be at the bottom right?)

Since our feet are wet, we just walked on the grass to dry our legs HAHAHA

(of course we took our belongings and shoes lah)

Next stop:

// Yeti's Peak //

There's only one Yeti in the middle of the inflatable (just keep scrolling down)

Here's a picture of a cute mountain(?)

The Alpacas attracted me the most HAHAHA

ISN'T IT CUTE THO😆

I obviously fell down with the Alpacas (cuz I'm too heavy hais LOL)

Here's YuHong Jie with the Yeti👀

Next stop:

// Yellow Woods //

The main highlight of this inflatable is the cute tiger rawr🐯

Next stop:

// Black Forest //

Why not take pictures with the gorillas right? 🌚

HAHAHA LOOK AT YUHONG JIE WITH THE ZEBRA🤣

Wanted to seek shelther again but this inflatable not fully sheltered HAHAHA

Next stop:

// Little Kong //

IT'S SO HUGE, LOOK AT US SUPER TINY (can you even see us LOL)

See her just dab? AHAHAHA

Another inflatable that is wet😭 but the smell of the water wasn't that bad, maybe they sprayed fragrance inside (or maybe my mind just think it's okay since it's pink🤔)

Next stop:

// Pink Lagoon //

Hi, why not a selfie with the Flamingo right? 🤗

Next stop:

// Checkmates //

Lots of penguins on one side and lots of owls (looks like pigeons tho HAHA) on the other side

Here's a panorama of YuHong Jie with the owls/pigeons🦉

Why not a selfie with Mr Penguin right? 🐧

(cuz we resemble a lot - some of you know what I mean HAHA)

Because we have been bouncing and jumping on the inflatables and it's time for us to rest.

This inflatable is quite a good place to rest since the sunlight is blocked by 

the huge huge penguins HAHAHAHA

Once we recharged our energy, we went to the next inflatable

Next stop:

// Green River //

Look at that huge mouth of the crocodile

Decided to take at the mini crocodile's mouth

How cute can the water lilies and crocodiles look😁

HAHAHA OMG

Here's me with the humongous mouth of a huge crocodile

Next stop:

// Candy Canyon // 

Can you spot the iguana? (pss it's yellow in colour👀

YUHONG JIE SO CUTE😄

WHAT A CUTE IGUANA

We decided to chill here again because it was very cooling wew🌬

Some selfies hehe 📷

Next stop:

// Purple Meadows //

Surrounded by so many moles

Meet Mr Hedgehog

Why not take a selfie right? 🌚

Next stop:

// Blue Bay //

I love Otters but what's with the hands tho HAHAHAHA

Cute lil(?) otters

Actually no, they'll quite huge🤣

Next stop:

// Orange Rocks //

Lots and lots of CUTE elephants

HAHAHA I REALLY LIKE HER POSES

Last stop:

// Red Reefs //

Lots of RED coral REefs but the flowers(?) look cute too🌼 

What's with my face tho HAHAHA

YuHong Jie looks so happy here🙆

Spot me? 🤓

Spot YuHong Jie? 😆

Goodbye Art Zoo. It was definitely a magical and wonderful first-time experience😉

It was time to go to the Marina Bay Carnival since we have visited all of the inflatables at Art Zoo. At that point of time, it was quite crowded with people already! 

Thankfully we managed to find a table for ourselves wew😚

We were actually quite full so we ordered a little😬

The neon lights at night✨

Walking to the MRT after a long day😱

Shall end this blog with a selfie of me and YuHong Jie hehehe💗 Even though this happened like half a year ago (omg time flies), I still remember the times we were bouncing so happily on every single inflatable. As much as we felt super tired after the 2nd inflatable, I felt super duper happy to be able to relieve my childhood all over again. Fun fact: I did not like bouncy castles in the past as a kid because there will be other kids' saliva on it and it's quite unhygientic, but thankfully no saliva encounter LOL HAHAHA.

To YuHong Jie: You've finished your 5 semesters of school, jiayous for your intern next sem okay!! Can't wait to go to your graduation ceremony next year and give you a bouquet of flowers hehehe😉 Look how happy we are in the picture😭 See you real soon💞

Well, see yall in the next blog post after I come back from Shanghai. Take care~
