Hi there!
So sorry for the lack of updates, I've been procrastinating a lot. (as usual, *cough cough) Ahhh, the NS list is out and I GOT CHOSEN FOR NS. Thought I wouldn't get chosen cause my sister got chosen already. Guess I was wrong! Can't say I'm very excited cause I'll be missing my family and my friends a lot. 3 months is a very long time, you know! My mom said it's like prefect camp for 3 months. Le sigh, gonna be so tan by then :'( Some of my other friends got chosen as well. How I wish we'll get to go to the same camp site, but the probability of that happening is 0.000001 %. And I hope I'll get the first batch cause there'll be CNY holidays and I get to go home :) Ugh, I should stop thinking too much and focus on my trial exam!
My Childhood Fears
I’ve never really watched any horror movies when I was younger, but I
recall having nightmares after watching this scary one with clowns in it. Not
just any ordinary clowns, but clowns who are possessed by spirits. Imagine
scary-looking clowns going around murdering people with their sadistic laughs and not to mention the usual thick make-ups plus the creepy smile of theirs! What a
perfect combo to ruin a child's perfect memory of clowns eh? D: And I guess
that's one of the main reasons why I never really liked those 'normal looking'
clowns we usually see in the carnivals. Maybe I was too traumatized by the
scarier ones? Lol.
And here comes the main one, this funny little phobia of mine called the
Ailurophobia, which is also known as the fear of CATS. Yes, you heard me; I
have a fear of cats. I know it sounds ridiculous. Not that I’ve encountered any
scary-looking cats during my childhood days. It’s just that I don’t like it
when they “manja” around my legs! They think that they’re cute but they’re not,
not at all! All I see are scary monsters crawling around my legs; Scary
monsters that will scratch me with their sharp claws if I don’t give them food.
And that was when all the nightmares started; Nightmares of me seeing different
kinds of cats appearing in my house. I once dreamed of myself overcoming this
phobia of mine, just because all the cats in the world look exactly like my dog, Belle!
Maybe one day I will learn to overcome my childhood fear. Well, actually
they can’t be considered as childhood fears because I have yet to overcome
them! Sometimes I feel ashamed of myself, 17 years old and still afraid of so many things. Ugh, I need to grow up!

Discrimination lives within everyone
Discrimination,
it is an act of making a distinction against people who are different from us,
different in terms of the colour of our skin, our sex and even our age. I
believe that discrimination lies within everyone. We tend to discriminate even
though we are clearly aware that it's not right to do so. Why can't we just be
a bit more open-minded and just accept everyone for who they are? I mean, we
all live under the same sun and walk under the same moon. Why can't we all live
as one? Some people discriminate because they have this mentality of being
prejudiced against people who are different, but some people discriminate
simply because they find satisfaction in doing so.
One of the
discriminations that I should point out is racial discrimination. Racial
discrimination involves treating someone unfavourably because he or she is of a
certain race or has a different skin colour. In America, the Native Americans
are often labelled as the ‘Blacks’ whereas the European Americans are labelled
as the ‘Whites’. The ‘Whites’ are more privileged by law in matters of voting
rights and also citizenship. This is just wrong! Everyone should be treated
fairly, and not be prejudiced due to the colour of their skin. Moreover, we,
Malaysians also have the habit of discriminating others. As we all know,
Malaysia is a multiracial country, and problems like these are inevitable. For
an example, the Malays and the Indians give people 'bad impressions' in a sense
that we always think they are the ones who commit the crimes. Here are some examples: 'Someone snatched
your handbag? Must be an Indian!" or "The person driving in front
drives like a snail! It must be a Malay woman with a tudung!” Furthermore, the
Chinese are also known the “frauds”. The Chinese are the ones who con people's
money. Everyone seems to have that way of thinking and I think we should stop
it because honestly, it's just shallow to even think like that.
Besides that,
people are also prejudiced based on their age. For an example, a 50 year-old
woman gets retrenched at work because she was told that she’s not young enough.
Old people might not the qualities that young people possess but at least they
have more experience. Yes, old people have the experience that young people do
not have. That doesn’t mean that old people are incapable of performing their
task well because they’re useless. However, young people get discriminated too.
Apparently, the young ones are too inexperienced
and their mind-set is too immature. We should not think like that because some
young children are geniuses and they happen to be the smartest people in the
world. For instance, Mozart started playing when he was at the age of three,
and he had his first symphony at the age of eight. Young people might not have
the experience but they’re capable of achieving something great at a young age.
This shows that we should not discriminate others based on their age. Everyone
is competent to accomplish something, be it at the age of 5 or the age of 80.
On top of
that, there is also another form of discrimination where men are often favoured
by other people because they are the more capable ones, compared to the
women. Back in the days, women have no
rights and status or whatsoever. Women get
discriminated all the time because they are “weak” and just “amateurs”. What’s worse is women themselves kill girl
babies because they prefer boy babies. How shallow is that? Moreover, women can
only stay at home and take care of their family while men go out and earn a
living. Now, in the 21st century, women are stronger than before. For
an example, America’s no.1 talk show host, Oprah Winfrey was voted as one of
the most influential woman in the world. Despite experiencing hardship during
her childhood, she continues to be determined to inspire other women in the
world. I believe that women are as competent as men and if they were given the
opportunity to work instead of staying at home, they could even accomplish much
more than men. They can even “shine” brighter than men.
And yes, “discrimination
lives within everyone”, but that doesn’t mean we cannot change this mind-set of
ours. We should grow up and think like a mature adult. Everyone might be
different in their own way but that’s what makes us special. We can’t
discriminate others for being special. Everyone should be treated equally and not
be prejudiced based on our skin colour, age or our sex. Lastly, living in a
multiracial country teaches me to be more open-minded and not be a racist at
times. We should not hold grudges and find faults with friends of another race.
Instead, we should find out what’s wrong and just try our best to correct it.
Even a simple “sorry” can change everything.

Here comes the sun doo doo doo doo
Hello there! Got back most of my results this week, not very satisfying but I can't complain much cause I didn't do my best for this term. Oh well, just gonna buck up. No point feeling sad and disappointed! I should live my life to the fullest and enjoy every single moment of it :)
Speaking of enjoying life, I stayed back after school for lunch with Christina, Joy, Sean, Pn Ng and Lion Chris on Thursday. We had Dim Sum and it was sooo yummy :D Christina and I 'sapu'-ed most of the food because we were too hungry! *cough cough. I'm looking forward to our next lunch outing already, can't wait to have some GAY CRABS :P And le sigh, I'm gonna miss all of this so much after stepping down. I know I always complain about my workload and not being able to find time to study, but I'm proud to say that I've never regretted joining Leo. Leo gave me a wonderful experience and I treasure these memorable moments a lot :') Words cannot describe the bond that I have with my Leo family and if you would give me another chance to live my life all over again, I'd still choose to be in Leo hehe.
Moving on, I had a lot of fun hanging out with the tuition buddies on Friday! :D Sze Yuin, Ji Xian, Zhi Hao and I went to Jojo's Little Kitchen for the infamous Chilly Pan Mee before tuition. YUMS FOR OUR TUMS :)
Mmmm, doesn't it look yummy?
After that, we went to Starbucks cause there was this Happy Hour promotion where all frappucinos are half-price. So thankful for that and I finally satisfied my Green tea frap craving, after so long!
Definitely the best green tea drink ever, beats Chatime's green tea latte anytime :)
Oh and it's Father's Day today! Wished my daddy first thing in the morning and headed off to Paradigm mall for a Father's Day lunch. Had Japanese buffet in a restaurant called Sukiya, I think. It was quite good :))) and that also explains why I can't go for Cheer 2012. I wanted to go so badly after watching their dance routine in school. Both teams were great! That "kan cheong" moment when I'm refreshing my tweets at home to check on the results updates. And congrats to Dynamitez for getting 2nd! WE ARE PROUD OF YOU, SAY WE ARE PROUD OF YOU. Wished I was there to support them though :/ Oh well, daddy's more important and I still get to catch their performances on Youtube heh (Y)
That's all for this week! Stay tuned, peeps :)

Letter
Dear Editor,
I have come to realize the inappropriate behaviours of us, Malaysians that are slowly putting our country to shame. We tend to do all kinds of things that are said to be 'what Malaysians normally do' and don't we feel embarrassed at all? For an example, if we could just take a look at the cleanliness of our country and make comparisons with the cleanliness of our neighbour, Singapore. If you would notice, Malaysians like to litter and the litter bins provided are not fully utilized at all. What nonsense is this? The litter bins are there for a reason and why can't we be more civilized and just throw our rubbish in the rubbish bin? Besides that, let's not forget about the inconsiderate smokers in our country. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against people who smoke, but smoking in non-smoking zones? These smokers have to grow up and think of the consequences of what they're doing. When they light up a cigarette, thousands of poisonous chemicals are released and it's very harmful to the people surrounding them. Many innocent people were diagnosed with lung cancer due to passive smoking. Can't they be a little more considerate? Moreover, I would also like to point out the rudeness of Malaysians. Some people are just so rude, they don't even apologize for their wrongdoing. Furthermore, I've once encountered an incident when an old lady tried jumping the queue by cutting in front of my sister and I. She was so rude! At least try to understand how we exhausted we feel queuing up for so long and not just cut in and pretend like nothing happened. Lastly, I really hope that you'll publish more articles regarding the inappropriate behaviours of Malaysians so that we can at least have some self-reflection and change for the better.
Yours sincerely,
Pei Ming

Home is wherever I'm with you
Hi again! My 2 weeks of holidays were quite eventful! I've headed to the prefect's camp 1 day after coming back from Langkawi. I was so exhausted by the time I reached home and I still had to pack for another camp and reach school at 7.30 the next morning. We reached the Genting View Resort after a 45 minutes drive. The place was better than expected and the weather was perfect (Y)
We did tons of extreme activities like abseiling, rock climbing and flying fox (one of my favourite!). Besides that, there were also other team building activities like human bridge, the giant finger, spider web and funny activities carried out in the training room. This year's jungle trekking was very challenging for me because, first, it was drizzling, the ground eventually turned wet and all of our shoes were stuck in the mud :( I almost slipped a few times because the ground was too slippery and the sole of my shoes didn't have enough grip. Had to hold Jia Yin and Jia Qi's hands while walking. Yeap, it was thaaat slippery!

Some of us stopping for a group photo in the middle of the jungle :)
Group picture - Zhao Wei, Su Wei, Me, Jia Yin, Sher Wu, Yi Ling, Chia Ray, Hoong Yoong and Christopher
Chicken goggles on!
Group name - Heart Attack! We attack each other with love ;)
Overall it was quite fun! I guess things turn out better when you have lower expectations to it :) And it was my first time staying in an apartment with 10 other girls! We were all so crazy haha
Moving on, Sze Yuin and I had an advanced birthday celebration with Jia Yin :) We went to Pavilion and I ate my first 'Spanish creme brulee' and it was like foodgasmmm :P We also watched this interesting movie called 'What to expect when you're expecting'. It was really good comedy! Hilarious and it has its heartfelt moments :') It was an 8/10 for me hehe.
Other than that, I think I've spent half of my day with Miss Christina Choo hehe. Also had a pre-birthday celebration with Hui Qing, Edalene, Jia Hui and Chai Lee in the morning and another Leo dinner in the evening. Went to her house and played Wii before that, she totally crashed me in Mario Kart, ahhh so embarrassing :(
Ohh well, I guess that's all for the holidays! Time to go back to school and ahhh face more disappointments with a capital D :(
Leo Forum 2012
Hey hey ho ho, I'm gonna talk bout this Leo event I've attended during the hols! It was held in Langkawi, most of us decided to go by plane because it's way comfortable than going by bus. Well, a night bus, to be precise. Although the air fare is more expensive, I still think it's more worth it :) Anyways, I've reached LCCT at 6 ish on Saturday, to meet up with my fellow friends, Christina, Clarisse, Yu Hun, Joey, Xiao Yan, Yue Teng, Alison and Jia Yuin. Everyone looked so sleepy because it was the first day of hols and not to mention 6 something in the morning! We boarded the plane at 7 something and I'm glad that I got the window seat :D
A blur picture I took with my phone. Sorry for the bad quality!
I love it when the plane speeds when it is about to take off, it feels amazing! As if we were on a high speed roller coaster hehe. It took us less than an hour to reach Langkawi airport. We waited for the Forum committee to send us to the "resort".
Langkawi airport.
Us fooling around in the van hehehe
Soon after we've reached the "resort", we checked in and put all our luggage in one of the rooms. And off we went on a trip to the GEOPARK <3 Unfortunately those who took the night bus couldn't board the ferry in time and they couldn't make it for the trip. Ahh one of the reasons why I didn't regret flying there :) It took us around an hour to reach the place, with the Teacher Advisor of Assunta's Leo Club playing the role of a tour guide, introducing the history of Langkawi, which led to the legend of Mahsuri and also the history of our beautiful country.
We had to get on cable cars of different levels to reach the best part of the place - the top of the mountain <3
Me, Christina and Clarisse in the cable car.
The scenery was breathtakingly beautiful! We could almost see the whole Langkawi island, well, almost! One of our friends, Sean got excited and started standing up to snap photos of the scenery heheh
Group picture!
Me and Xiao Yan. The view is amazing, isn't it? :D
We even saw a group of Indonesian Leos and took a group photo with them. They were so friendly and nice! To me, that was the main highlight of the event. Love the beautiful scenery!
Besides that, we had Fellowship Night and Banquet Night as well! Both nights were fun for me as I managed to bond with most of my friends. And the best part for me was the footloose! Most of us danced like there was no tomorrow haha. I hope no one saw me dancing the other day, must be really embarrassing! And I finally found my 'clubbing' partners, we even promised to meet up in Zouk KL next year. Ahhh it was so fun!
Besides having fun, our school's Leo Club managed to get quite a number of awards this year. Extremely proud of our club! All our hard work has paid off :')
And that concludes my grandmother story for this post. I'll let the pictures do the talking for me :)
Till then!
Exams!!!
Exam was so tough! How many times have I told myself that I'll study harder for mid term and not procrastinate so much, but I'll never ever learn my lesson :( Every term is like a wake up call for me, but the problem is, I still find myself dreaming in Neverland, as if I'm not sitting for SPM, as if this year is like my "honeymoon" year.
I guess I need someone to push me, like literally push me off my chair to make me study, since I'm such a lazy bum bum. Le sigh, why am I so lazy? I ask myself this question all the time. Why can't I score fantastic grades? Why am I such a disappointment to my mom? She has been very patient with me, enduring my shitty attitude every single day after school. I really salute her for being so patient with a shitty daughter like me. I tell her how badly I did for my paper, and she listens to me with a big frown on her face. I know that she's truly disappointed in me even though she tells me it's okay. How can it be okay to have a daughter who doesn't do well for her exams?
I know that I always say I'm determined to score better for next term, but I guess this is it! It's now or never, DO OR DIE. I really need to start earlier for trials! Gonna work my butt off after stepping down from the prefectorial board and LEO. I need to set my priorities right this time!

Keep holding on
Hello everyone! I had a great week so far :) Stayed back on Monday and Wednesday to sell handmade notebooks to the afternoon session students. Many of them didn't seem interested (especially the boys!) but the good part is, we managed to sell off quite a number of notebooks. Yay for us hehe! On the other hand, the Form 1 students are so rude! They act as if their grandfather owns the whole school. Come on, have they ever heard of the word 'respect'? Ughhh kids nowadays -_-
Talking about school, I was 'lucky' enough to be chosen to do my English Oral twice this week. How lucky! Wasn't prepared for the first time because I thought I won't be chosen but I guess I was wrong :( Nevertheless, thank you teacher for giving me a second chance :) Really appreciate it, although I think I screwed up a bit for the 2nd time as well. Oh well, I'm so relieved that it's over! Now I'm left with BM oral with Li Ling :)
Besides that, our school had our Majlis Anugerah Cemerlang on Friday. Saw most of the ex-Form 5s because I was in charge of the parents' registration and the performances were really good! Especially our school's choir team :) So proud of my choir friends and Jia Yin who played the piano hehe. Pn C also had that 'proud mama smile' on her face :)
Moving on, I spent my Saturday morning doing add math project in Nicole's house. We had lots and lots of chicken fries and it was yummehhh <3 We finished it early so we ended up taking pictures and playing with her sister, Natalie. She's sooo adorable!
Leo's I.U Day is just 6 days away and I have no idea what to wear! Can't wear anything sleeveless because it's against the school rules but wearing a cardigan in school is definitely not the best idea either (unless our school hall is air-conditioned).
And exam's just around the corner :( Should I go talk to smart people who have finished studying so I'll get motivated to study?
Mom's coming back next Sunday! I can't wait!!!!

Mixed feelings
Hello everyone! happy to say that this week was quite fun :) Wednesday was a holiday due to Agong's Installation (finally a weekday off to catch up with so many stuff!). So, since it was a holiday, the Leo BODs decided to have a photo shoot at the Curve, Ikea and Ikano. Can't upload the pictures yet because I don't have the pictures with me and it is supposed to be private and confidential before they upload it on Facebook :) We also shot our I.U Day promo video in one of the restaurants at the Curve. It was fun :D Can't say that I'm actually excited to step down from this Secretary post, because I'll definitely miss hanging out with this group of fun people :(
I came across this picture just now and Wow, great memories :)
I'll update more on the Blind Leading the Blind Walk event that I've participated today after I have the pictures with me :)
I came across this picture just now and Wow, great memories :)
Preparing for our 1Malaysia performance for the Merdeka celebration 2011
We sang a medley on that day and it was fun! First time wearing a Baju Melayu and first time singing on the stage with a Baju Melayu hehe :P
Ok, people, brace yourselves for the yummiest food on Earth. Guaranteed 100% PLEASURE :)

Chili Pan Mee :)
Finally satisfied my craving for CPM when Dad decided to bring me to Jojo's Little Kitchen after tuition hehe. and apparently 'Jojo' is pronounced as 'Hoho' (according to my dad :P)
I also discovered this awesome cover of 'What Makes You Beautiful', one of their best covers! It is almost as good as Boyce Avenue's :)
I'll update more on the Blind Leading the Blind Walk event that I've participated today after I have the pictures with me :)
That's all for this week peeps, stay tuned!

Just another weekly dose of Tan Pei Ming :)
Hello hello! I've survived a week without my mom and I.feel.so.tired :( Every single thing is coming right at me and I just need some air to breathe. I even fell sick on Wednesday because I was just too exhausted. Oh well, the whole 1-month-without-my-mommy-thing is like a test to me, I need to learn how to be independent and pass this test with flying colours!
*drumrolls* I'm officially an aunt now! My eldest sister just gave birth to a baby boy name Sean :) I feel happy for her..Sean's her first baby and he's already getting so much attention from his aunties and grandparents heheh. Can't really imagine myself having a baby in another 10 years though O_O

Say hello to my baby nephew :D
Besides that, Jia Yin, Sze Yuin and I had a birthday surprise for Li Ling on Saturday. It was a major success! She didn't notice a thing heheh :) We went karaoke on that day and I almost lost my voice cause I was having a sore throat on that day. Thank god and thank you, my Lozenges sweets for soothing my sore throat :P
My favourite James Cameron movie - Titanic's out in the cinemas but its in 3D. I wanna watch so badly but why oh why must it be in 3D? :/ Some say that since the movie's in 3D, they'll be able to see the iceberg and not hit it :P And everyone's gaga over the Hunger Games. Hmm, some say the book is wayyy better than the movie. I haven't read the book but I think the movie is kinda overrated :/
Oh and I need to constantly remind myself that I'm taking SPM in another 7 months :/ Can't afford to fool around anymore. Gotta stop procrastinating like a lazy bum bum!
Toodles for now!

Why hello there!
This week was rather eventful! Hmm where should I start? School was tiring (as usual) as most of us were caught up with the Nostalgia photo shoot and our class photo wasn't too bad, managed to take a good picture with my loves. Hopefully the pictures will turn out great :)
I guess that's all for this week! Stay tuned peeps :)
I had a flu on Wednesday and I couldn't stop sneezing for the whole day :( had to skip PBSM for this week
(definitely not on purpose though :P) cause it'd be ridiculous for me to sneeze and teach first aid at the same time Despite having a flu, I had a great lunch with Nicole :) I finally tried Milo Dinosaur and it was G-double-O-D good! I definitely felt better after drinking that, no joke :P
Thursday was the most tiring day of the week! Had to stay back in school for preparations for the NKF project and also had 2 tuitions after that. The funnest part of that day will be drinking Chatime in Physics tuition (Teacher was totally fine with it, he even asked if he could have some :D) and also dinner with Sze Yuin before heading to tuition at night. This Burmese(?) waiter totally didn't get what I was trying to say, and I think my broken Cantonese scared him away :(
Friday was the day that I was dreading the most. My mom was scheduled to fly to Australia at night to take care of my pregnant sister who's giving birth anytime now. Farewells are painful and things will never be the same without her around. She's usually the one who takes care of everything at home. I had to take over her duty by doing most of the household chores :( We did skype and had a few Viber calls but ahh I miss my mom!
On Saturday, I've attended this Leo event called Earth Hour 2012. It was held in SMK Assunta and many Leos from other schools attended this event. There were quite a number of performances and I was impressed with the opening act which was a dance performance by the Leos. Stephanie Tiow from our school sang 'Imagine' by John Lennon and also 'Someone Like You' by Adele. Her voice was amazing! The DJ Leos cheered loudly for her. When the clock struck 8.30 pm, all the lights were out, candles were lighted and we started with our candlelight walk. It was something new to me as I haven't tried walking with a whole lot of people with a lighted candle on my hand. It was fun :)
I guess that's all for this week! Stay tuned peeps :)

:)
This Friday was quite a comical one. My friends and I were extremely fervid on watching the movie 'The Vow', so arrangements were made to actualize our covet. Unfortunately, only Sze Yuin was able to make it, so straight after our BM tuition, we headed off to One Utama. Tuition was rather humorous really, for I think we spent more time whinging about our esurient stomachs instead of being attentive. We had our dinner at TGI Friday's and my friend, the exemplification of voracious and gluttony commented on how lip-smacking all the food in the menu looks.
Eventually, after a tough decision, we settled for some nachos and fajitas which we devoured like savage beasts. Somehow, we came to a conclusion that the food we had would not suffice to gratify our stomachs, so we ordered the infamous boneless wings which sounds exceedingly luscious, does it not? Bad move! I apologize to those who find this dish delectable but we thought it revoltingly yucky! It was sweet, spicy and sour altogether, and this combination was incompatible I tell you! Needless to say, when we paid our bills, we were feeling rather regretful and gloomy.
Oh well, that'll teach us a lesson!
Fortunately, both of us had the Starbucks privilege card which offers a complimentary drink upon registration, so we merrily claimed our free drinks!!!
Here comes the downer!
We could not bring our drinks into the theaters! Haha well, I suppose we were mindful of such rules but blame our obstinacy for tampering with the regulations. Dubiously, we were impelled to surrender our free drinks to the workers who apprised us to reclaim them after the movie. Well, we felt like bashing their heads at that very instant, and ours too, for our obduracy. Glumly, we found our seats in the cinema and oh, the irony of the situation! There, seated next to us were two girls jovially sipping away their Starbucks drink! GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!! We were definitely discontented but the movie soon commenced and the palpable dolefulness of the storyline stirred our hearts entirely. My whacko friend even suggested that the workers might poison our drinks. Sometimes, I doubt her sanity.
And I shall question my sanity as well for I am friends with her. The movie was great and truly despairing to the point of my tearing. My friend, however, appeared to be unmoved in which she said she did shed tears too! Later, we parted after recollecting our melted Starbucks drink! For once, the idea of drinking Starbucks didn't seem so fancy. It was an eventful day indeed!

Dubiously, we were impelled to surrender our free drinks to the workers who apprised us to reclaim them after the movie. Well, we felt like bashing their heads at that very instant, and ours too, for our obduracy. Glumly, we found our seats in the cinema and oh, the irony of the situation! There, seated next to us were two girls jovially sipping away their Starbucks drink! GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!! We were definitely discontented but the movie soon commenced and the palpable dolefulness of the storyline stirred our hearts entirely. My whacko friend even suggested that the workers might poison our drinks. Sometimes, I doubt her sanity.
And I shall question my sanity as well for I am friends with her. The movie was great and truly despairing to the point of my tearing. My friend, however, appeared to be unmoved in which she said she did shed tears too! Later, we parted after recollecting our melted Starbucks drink! For once, the idea of drinking Starbucks didn't seem so fancy. It was an eventful day indeed!

Absence makes the heart grow fonder :)
Last Friday was quite a momentous one. The very morning, I awoke from my slumber in sheer ebullience for that day, my friends and I were finally going for karaoke! Well, first you must be equipped with the knowledge that a karaoke session is sort of a habitual tradition, for us but this year, time curtailment has forbade us from such a pleasure, so surely, we were thoroughly feverish with excitement. We were stuffing ourselves with luscious ice-cream at Haagen Dazs (eating seems to be the only thing we excel in :P) when I received an unexpected phone call from a classmate. She divulged me with the news of her friend, which happens to be a classmate too, having two tickets for the Jessie J concert to be held on that Friday night. She offered me the tickets for she wasn't interested in going. At first, I was irresolute for I had no accompaniment but the prior problem was soon resolved through a phone call to my former primary school friend.
The celerity of time during our karaoke session was truly shocking, but I suppose the advancement of time is exceedingly brisk when one is indulging. Needless to say, we had a mind-blowing time singing horrendously off tune but we care not because that's how we roll!!! Soon enough, I was at the Jessie J concert with my friend. Amidst our reconciliation, we had a splendid time listening to the competent artiste sing in her powerful voice. The strength of her voice definitely raised my goosebumps! Doubtlessly she had a confident aura which equipped her with an influential stage presence. Almost the whole time I was singing along with her. By the time night falls, I was weighed down by lethargy but my heart was truly contented!
A good day it was!

Fun fun fun!
Once again, the much anticipated holidays have arrived in its full glory! YAYYYYY!!!!! To say that I am utterly inundated with felicity would be entirely too subtle, for I am literally bubbling with exhilaration.
This week has been exceedingly heavenly for I finally get to unwind after the baleful storm which happens to be the exams! Stupid exams! The productivity of this week is rather impressive in the sense that I could finally hang out with my friends, revel in my adrenaline-rushing korean dramas which I have dubiously put off because of the exams and complete any commitments or tasks which I have shirked due to time constraint.
On Sunday, my friends and I headed off to Pavilion, where we watched a movie, titled 'This Means War'. Honestly, I would rate the movie five stars for it was absolutely entertaining and comical. To further ignite my gaiety, the main male actor, Chris Pine is absolutely worthy to be labelled as an eyecandy, even if one of my cuckoo friends happen to think otherwise but let's not question her sanity for thinking Chris Pine not fit enough! After the movie, we had a spur of the moment decision to sleepover at my friend's house, in which I could not attend but thanks to the advancement of technology, I somehow managed to partake in their joviality and merriment using 'Skype'. We had a few more outings during the week but I shall spare you the gushy description of it.
