Genting

Just came back from Genting Highlands on Saturday.
Genting was real fun, but it wasnt as cold as I imagine it would be. haha.

Day 1:
It mostly consisted of driving all the way to Genting from Singapore. Woke up terrible early and made our way to Golden Mile Shopping Centre.
Met up with the others and waited for the bus. Our bus number is totally nice - 8668. :D
Cool right! xP
The bus ride was really agonizing i guess, because you cant really sleep properly on the chair. But at least it can be adjusted up or down x) And I kept sleeping, and waking. Just when I finally doze off to a really deep sleep, I wake up again because my head fell down -.- irritating, hmph.
We reached Genting at around 2pm. We drove for about 7 hours!!! o_o
Finally, we tried checking into our hotel. But there was SOOO many people, that we had to wait very long. So we went to some makan place and ate, slacked and walked around First World Plaza.
Approx 4pm, we finally got to check in. We were staying in First World Plaza. :)
We argued about where to sleep, because there was one queen size bed. haha!
Slacked and then went down to Kenny Rogers to eat. We had a lot of problems with the service. haiz.
Went back and slept after walking around :)

Day 2:
I woke up around 2 times that night. Once when I thought I heard tapping on the door. Turns out it was the fan. -.- Second time was when Irene came at around 6am. :( I was really quite annoyed because I kept waking up, haha.
Woke up at around 7am? Not sure.
Then went to Marybrown for breakfast.
I ordered fish burger and frankly, it wasnt really good. D:
Then, we went to buy tickets and we met this woman who is apparently a tour guide and can get 10% discount if we buy with her. lol. so we just bought them along with her :)
We then made our way to the Outdoor theme park.
All my other cousins except Iris, WJ and I went to sit on Spaceshot. I was really scared and didnt dare to sit on it, haha.
Iris and I went to sit on Cockscrew instead. I was quite excited as it was my first time sitting on it. It was a roller coaster with downs and upside downs. Iris was really quite scared as she didnt expect so many upside downs. In the end, we didnt even feel that we were going upside down when we were on the ride! We could only feel our bodies moving to the left, that's all. -.- haha! but still quite a fun ride! :D
Afterwards, we went to sit on Flying Dragon, an all-time favourite. We were the last riders as the staff wanted to have a maintenance check on Flying Dragon. So lucky of us! Sitting on the last ride felt cool :D
Then we went Boating. It seemed quite boring, but it was quite fun actually. And tiring. Because we had to pedal and pedal.
Afterwards we went to Flying Chair i think. We were supposed to have lunch, but then somehow we ended there. haha.
We saw this guy throw up after sitting on the ride. urgh. My brother backed out of the ride after seeing that, haha! xD
Flying Chair was still as fun. Technically it is called Spinner, Flying Chair was just something we named it ourselves, haha! But the ride would be terribly dizzy if you didnt close your eyes. :p
After that, we planned to eat lunch, but then we saw that Cyclone would be open in another 15 min and the queue was really quite short. So we just queued up while eating Ice-creams and hotdogs. :)
Somehow, Cyclone seemed much more scary in my memories. But it felt quite fun this time round, guess I am braver, haha! And our pictures looked hilarious because we were screaming. Ivy's face was epic! haha!
Then, we went to eat at Star Hotel I think? Not sure.
We came back in the theme park and since there was nothing much left to ride, we rode the Haunted Adventure.
I was still having some scary expectations at first, but then the ride was thoroughly disappointing. There was NOTHING inside at all! Just some paintings on the walls, not even statues! LOL!
Afterwards, since the Thunder Rain Mine Train ride wasn't open yet, all of us went back.
Then, around 6pm, Iris and I went back to ride the Mine Train. The Mine Train's seatbelt was really just loose. The ride was really fast and the best part was when we suddenly pummelled down after a sharp turn. So we didnt have any preparation, haha!
Then went back to the hotel and ate KFC while watching You're Beautiful :D

Day 3:
This day was really quite a free day i guess.
Woke up VERY early also, just to eat the free buffet breakfast at Resorts World Genting.
Then wandered around for a while. It was basically quite boring then.
Finally, those in the Casino came out. We then went shopping. Bought nail polish and hairband.
Afterwards, we went to Ripley's Believe It Or Not!. It was really quite interesting. :) I think the most amazing was the one where we stepped into this 'bridge' and the wall around it is in a circle and its spinning. So when you step inside, it feels like the bridge is spinning, instead of the wallpaper. :D :D It was really quite amazing!
Afterwards, Iris and I went back to the hotel after packing food to eat.
Slacked in the hotel and painted our nails, HAHAHA.
The other cousins came in soon after, with Irene and Janice carrying their potraits. It doesnt really look like them though. And it costs a lot! lucky we didnt do it o.o
Then the others went out except Ivy and I. I was quite tired so I slept. hehe.
That one hour of sleep really was nice~~
Then we made our way to the Mushroom Farm which was surprisingly NEAR. I thought it would be quite far away. hmph. I wanted to spend more time in the minivan. ><
Ate dinner there and took pictures!!
Saw some poor doggies. :(
Then went back to the hotel and exchanged presents!
I received mine from Ina. It's a cool black Tee with the pattern that forms a dog :) Still dunno if it glows in the dark though o.o Thanks Ina! :D
Then played with fake moustaches and took lots of unglam pictures! haha!
Great fun! :D
Watched You're Beautiful.
Afterwards, we went out somemore. Walked around, took pictures in front of the gigantic Christmas tree. Then ate KFC after looking for places to sit desperately. We were getting terribly annoyed by the irritating smokers!
Finally, most of us went back except Iris and Irene. I went back and slept. :)

Day 4:
It was the last day :( sadddddd.
Woke up at 10am, the latest for the past 4 days >.<
Ate cup noodles and watched the korean music awards of 2008, so old!
Then packed up and went down to lobby to check out. Afterwards, went eating and shopping with some cousins and my aunt. :)
Finally took the bus back. The number this time is 2332. HAHAH.
I tried to sneak in chewing gum on the way back, but failed! grrrr.
All of mine got thrown away zzzzzzz Dx

I sure miss Genting!!! boohoo!! :(
Rewatched You're Beautiful, because of those broadcasts in Malaysia. haha :)

Haiz I dont really miss school that much. :'(

All those memories,

Locked in my heart.

I will keep them safely,

Even after we part.

school's starting, ugh

I went back to school today to do some wen yi camp stuff. we had to come up with an identity etc. It was really just quite awkward in the beginning with no one talking. But then I think people started to warm up so it became better i guess :)

I reserved a book called "My Story" which is a combination of 3 books, 'A Child Called 'It'', 'My Name is Dave' and something else. It's about this boy who goes through abuse by his mother. He eventually stands up against it, etc. I saw it in Popular and I read a few paragraphs. It seemed quite interesting and the paragraphs are quite concise. The story seems to move fast, which is good because in most cases, biographies are really really slow.
I am quite looking forward to it :D

My cousin is going to treat all the other cousins to a movie treat this Sunday. I am quite excited about it and yet, abit reluctant i guess. Because most of the cousins have like a 5 year gap from me, which is REALLY huge. So we arent really that close. My brother is lucky and has a cousin 1 year younger so he still has a companion, while I am just stuck 'in-between'. But well, I am still going to enjoy the movie!
It's called Yogi Bear. And the premiere is supposed to be 23 dec, so we arent really sure if it's showing in The Cathay at sunday. But the relatives said yes, so i guess it must be :)

I really dread going back to school. I bought some remaining books needed and am just reminded of how fast everything is going to be.
I mean, we are all going to be secondary 3 students very soon.
The guys are gonna wear long pants. Is that some kind of reminder that we are all growing up??
And we are changing classes, which is always very difficult.
The same few introductions every year.
We would have to do it like 10 times because every subject teacher would probably ask for it. "Please stand up and say your name, CCA and something about yourself."
New subjects. Tougher subjects. More complex subjects.
I wanna go back to the days when expectations werent so high, and my achievements seeming so low.
Can't we go back?

dinos

Watched Dinosaurs Live on 11/12/10. :) Nice date :D

When I got to the Indoor Stadium, I was still quite awed and excited even though I've been there before. I dont really remember what was the layout etc, so it was still kinda 'new' for me even though I've been there already.
Went through the entrance and it was very crowded, which creates a chill down my spine. It was as if this was a really big matter ><
Got to our seats and I was faced with the stage with this big 'mouth' with fangs around it, which was kinda cool. And the lights was dimmed so I got even more excited. I sat in my seat and waited another 40 plus minute with much difficulty and finally, the show started.
It was quite boring at the starting as only small dinosaurs came out.
But it finally got more exciting as more dinosaurs came out. Then finally the dinosaur with long necks came out, haha! :D I prefer the smaller one compared to the mother, it seemed more proportionate x)
The last dinosaur to come out and wow us was obviously the T-rex :) It was quite awesome as the roar was quite real o.o

Overall, I think the show is a real eye-opener. But I think that the tickets were a bit pricey, especially when there were only about 15 dinosaurs. And there was too much talking by the guy, compared to the time where the dinosaurs paraded. But still, the experience was really cool and I enjoyed it very much.
After all, the dinosaurs are almost life-sized :)

Oh and I forgot to mention that we saw PM Lee there! It was a total surprise and my dad was the first to notice Mrs Lee. Just after my dad decided to take my brother to the toilet, PM Lee soon walked down the steps right next to us. LOL. Bet my father was disappointed since he seems so excited when he saw PM Lee.
It was quite funny as my father said, "MM Lee in the beginning of the year, PM Lee at the end of the year. So lucky!" HAHAH. :D


And my dad went to buy the "Back To the Future" Trilogy disc recently but it didnt work on our disc player because of some region code problem. So he went to exchange them for some disc :D
Inception, Salt, Sorcerer's Apprentice and Jason Derulo's album.
Personally, I would rather some other album than Jason Derulo's. But whatever.
I watched Inception AGAIN, this time with subtitles thank god. And I realised that my concept about it was mostly correct in the beginning such that I was able to understand most of the show and enjoy it. :) yay! And I found out why was Fischer with Mal in the limbo state. It was because when you go into limbo, you would be in the same dream as the last person whom you were trapped with, and that would be Mal.
And yes, I checked and Cobb's daughter was wearing different shoes. It was black in the memories and white in the 'present/end'. I waited til the end of credits and there was NOTHING. lol. i find myself a bit stupid for being so obsessed. haha :)

There was supposed to be like an outing tomorrow for badminton, but it was cancelled because some people backed out.
I am totally upset. Because it seems like it always ends up like this. Somehow I would be one of the last few people who end up still hoping that the outing will still take place.
I mean, if you have said that you would go, then please keep your end of the promise. And not just tell me that you are backing out on the night just before the day of the event.
Then smses start scurrying between handphones and I have to reply 2-3 smses at one time. Which is not easy for a slow typer like me -.-
And I start being frustrated.
I imagine. I told my parents that I was going to be going out to play with my friends happily after being cooped up at home feeling very horrible.
Then the next day, I sms them saying it's cancelled.
I myself find that it makes no sense.
Come on, keep your end of the deal.
And keep it til the end.

New Blogskin :)

Yay! Finally managed to create my new blogskin from scratch :)
So pleased so pleased with myself~

I dont know why but I suddenly had this urge to change my blogskin. So I went online to check out some but there were all not what I was looking for. Then I had the motivation to do the blogskin myself. I was still contemplating because I wasnt very good with html and stuff. x)

I wanted a very rough paper texture as background and I actually found a yellowish paper one online. I drew the curlish design on the left and wanted to somehow combine the background and the design. but I dont have photoshop etc so I cant do it. So I discard the yellow paper idea and proceeded to crush the paper with the design and some more white paper. Then scanned it in and put it as background so that it looks nicer :D

I put the background on repeat so it looks kinda weird cuz there are like lines where the background keeps repeating. Yeah... but overall.. I am quite happy with it :D I actually followed the html from another blog's html as a rough guide cause I totally forgot how to do it. Then I adjusted the places and stuff :) cool right!

Haha. Anyway, I cam currently obsessed with the drama Mary Stayed Out All Night. But the subbing person isnt subbing cause of some personal matters. cant wait xP
After watching that, I kinda taken a liking to Jung Geun Suk. heh. I think that when he smiles, he seriously looks like some five-year-old kid. so cute!

Have finished all my homework, hurray!
So happy with myself. :D
Cant wait for saturday to come~ I am gonna watch Walking With Dinosaurs!!! RAWR.
and also, going to Genting Highlands soooooonnnn (: (: yippee~
I dont want school to start~~~ D:

class chalet

i am back from the class chalet.
it was basically a lot of fun and we bonded i guess since it was our first class chalet :)

day 1
i met up with nicoleg and then went to aranda country club and met nicolew and bryan there. we then went to the food court and just slacked til yohanes called me. we then went back to the country club again and waited. then checked in and i was quite amazed at how huge the room was. :D then slacked in the room until krystal and gen came. went to NTUC and bought the BBQ stuff.
afterwards, went to prepare the food. soon, all the others were downstairs trying to start the fire. nicg, pam and i were upstairs trying to thaw and separate the chicken. it was superbly disgusting and there was the smell of raw chicken all around. eww. then nicg flared up at some guys who were still at their room slacking and they finally did went down.
then it started raining and we moved the food upstairs. then after the rain stopped, nicg grace and i went down to help with the bbq. it was quite fun with the occasional songs coming from suting, haha. and there would always suddenly be a big fire appearing when xuhua adds fire starters.
then finally went up and left the cleaning up to yohanes jinheok and boning i think. we then went up and ate. there were a lot of leftovers and no one dared to eat the drumsticks cuz they looked damn gross and they were mostly half-cooked lol.
after cleaning up, we tried to watch She's Out of My League but then gen, krys and i got bored cuz there were 4 heads blocking us and we couldnt watch or hear anything. then soon, valen and xuhua came down too. krys gen and i then went to cheers and bought drinks and stuff. then went back. we then slacked outside at the living room playing dalaoer and cheat and did pushups -.- haha.
then went back to the room and finally, everyone decided to sleep yay.

day 2
i woke up at around 7 cuz i couldnt sleep once i woke up and the birds outside were damn noisy. i went out to have a hot drink cuz i had runny nose and them pamela came out. tried sleeping for awhile again and failed then pamela and i went to brush teeth and went outside. pam then went to wake jinheok and yohanes up and in the end only jinheok woke up. turns out he didnt know how to play dalaoer so we were like -.-/ then bryan woke up and boning also. then ate cup noodles while playing dalaoer.
after wards, we woke people up and then everyone started eating breakfast.
after much discussion, we finally agreed to go cycling. walked to pasir ris park and rented bicycles.
cycling was so much fun. totally missed how much fun it was with the wind blowing in my face. and cycling in groups is cool too :D suting kept having accidents and once she was riding down the slope she apparently flew off the bike and fell down. we all rushed to her and checked whether she was okay. luckily she was. and the bike was like turned in a weird shape. and the string thingy came out. gen went to fix it yay and we continued cycling :) valen got hurt while roller blading and we kept teasing pam about it haha.
then went and buy lunch back to the chalet. then nicoleg came and i went down to play badminton with her. jinheok boning gen krys came down later too. we kept getting annoyed at how the shuttle cock couldnt fly and then gen and krys' shuttlecock got stuck in the tree. haha. got it down finally was throwing rocks at it. played until the people upstairs said they wanted to watch movies.
went up and watched saw and i totally didnt get the movie at all. -.- then after finishing, most of them went to buy food except suting gen yingxuan krys and i. played badminton with yingxuan and it was a lot of fun as we smacked here and there. suting decided to be funny and recorded herself saying 'oops sorry' cuz i kept saying that everytime i missed or something. and she played it everytime the ball dropped. haha. then finally i accidentally hit the shuttlecock and it dropped inside gen's cup noodles bowl. i was totally shocked and kept saying sorry. haha. and we decided to scare the people when they came back by rushing to the toilet and hiding there when they came back. we had a false alarm twice! and when they finally did come back, none of us noticed at all so we didnt do anything -,- haha!
ate and then i played badminton with grace. i kept hitting too high haha. then watched tv and played the drinks game. in the end it kinda became like a 'talking without the s and f word' game so it got boring. then stopped and we decided to go to the guys room to play.
played truth or dare and it suddenly became quite boring at one point. then we started playing cards and then when i played stress i finally 'woke up'. stress was damn funny cuz everyone went kinda crazy haha. and yohanes kept saying to play polar bear so we finally gave in.
the first few rounds was quite boring cuz everyone kept giving themselves away, haha! then it started getting  quite fun but the a few ppl decided to be sucidal. lol.
and then played til like 4am and i was totally shocked that it was that late. haha. went to sleep then without brushing my teeth since i figured it would be no point since i would be brushing them another 5 hours later.

day 3
woke up at 8.45 due to the annoying guys and the girls were all damn irritated cuz we were all very tired. woke up and packed and ate.
then while walking, i spent all my time trying to persuade grace to stay with me to watch movie. it worked :D the guys then went bowling and some of us just watched.
then grace pam and i went to buy tickets. and while walking back, i said that the cashier did not give me the correct change, it should have been 6 dollars more. we then went back and asked the girl there. and while the superior was checking the accounts for us, grace suddenly realised that she didnt give me bryan's share of 6 bucks, LOL! it was SO embarrasing and we said sorry to the girl and went back sheepishly. haha.
after the guys finish bowling, we went to eat at superdog and ate quickly. then went to watch Rapunzel 3D with the workers of cathay helping us store our 'camping' bags. haha.
Rapunzel 3D was very nice :D it was like the normal kind of animated movie and surprisingly, the movie managed to end it in a very rapunzel-like way by keeping the original story of the princess' magic tears. :) It was good and the songs were nice :) Pamela who sat beside me kept having funny comments. and there was this boy at the back who kept repeating some of the movie's funny lines with one of them including 'freak' haha.
after the movie finished, we decided to go to yohanes house. went there and watched the guys play halo with funny results. and then played monopoly with funny results as well.
wanted to play need for speed with grace but after restarting for like a thousand times, we finally played halo. i failed terribly by dying i think a thousand times as well. haha.
then finally went back and after sleeping in the bus, i finally realised that i had actually been struggling to keep my eyes open through out the whole day.

i am still very tired now. sigh.
gonna have an after noon nap later and watch the repeat of BOF at night later. haha :)
finally finished section 1 of the maths hmwk, it was SO TIRING. D:

really had fun at the class chalet and thanks to yohanes for even suggesting the idea in the first case and thanks to everyone who helped in any way and of course, the people who stayed and make it awesome!
i will definitely miss you guys LOADS! lets have another one next year! x)

USS

I went to Universal Studios Singapore on Wednesday :)
It was so much fun and I sat on pretty much all of the more interesting rides!

Some rides which I think were good, which I sat on were the "Revenge of the Mummy" and "Canopy-something" ride :) These were quite fun :D
The mummy ride was just awesome. Sitting on the ride where you are going through something like a storytelling ride and with all the cinematic effects. At the main part of the ride, it would be so dark with only a few lighted poster-like figures flying past you so you dont know when will the rollar coaster go up or down. There was a part when the rollar coaster goes backwards, but it was only once and for a while. The ride was very good and FAST, which is a must-have for rollar coasters! And there are the up and down moments which makes this ride the best after the battlestar galactica since it is closed. I sat on it twice and thoroughly enjoyed it the second time since I wasnt that afraid anymore. :) I feel like sitting on it again~~~
The canopy ride was only 53 seconds!! haha. It was very fast and too short i think. But it was very fun. It was abit similar to a rollar coaster except that you are sitting in a seat which is hanging in mid-air. :) And it was very fun. There are the front and back seats. The back seat is way more fun as you dont know where will the chair be swinging to next, so it is much more thrilling! It was drizzling when i sat on it the second time, so it  was really quite cool as the rain is splashing on you! :D

Anyway, just for those who want to know what is it like, the USS is divided into a few sections and there are different rides and stores and environment based on the theme of the section.
So the few sections are: Hollywood, Madagascar, Far Far Away (Shrek), The Lost World (Jurassic), Egypt, Sci-Fi, New York.
Madagascar was the most boring as the only interesting ride there was "coming soon". Far Far Away had more interesting stuff like 4-D, and a rollar coaster ride called 'Express Airways' I think. The Lost World had the Canopy and the Waterworld show which was quite interesting. Egypt had the mummy ride. Sci-Fi was supposed to have Battlestar Galatica. There is a ride called the Accelerator there which is just like a teacup ride which goes round and round. New York has an attraction where they show you how do the directors make special effect. It was really cool as the scene in front of me was quite realistic! And I attended a live concert where it was like Glee come alive. Haha. The ending song was Bon Jovi's It's my life :D Too bad the people watching were not very high.

Overall, USS is very nice and i spent the WHOLE DAY there. Entering from 10 and exiting at 7, which are its opening hours x) It would be much more exciting when Battlestar Galatica opens! ;P

USS

I am going to USS tomorrow :D
excited much~

Have just sent the updated MPP proposal, hope that the teachers like it. :)

second blog

hey people,
i have created a second blog on wordpress.
dont worry i am not gonna dump this blog.
this blog is still my primary blog, and the wordpress one is my secondary.
it is for my to post my writings like short stories etc or when i wanna emo ><
here is the link: http://www.randomscribbleswrittenbyapen.wordpress.com/
you dont have to visit it very often as most updates on stuff would still be on this blog :)

300th

Yippee! This is the 300th posting made after my blog was established! haha, it is quite slow uh...
But nevertheless, it is quite cool :)
This brings back memories when Grace and I were competing to see who would be able to write more posts! just figured out how childish we were! x)

The holidays have been pretty boring, with its fair share of work as well.
We have Moot Parliament, which is quite hard as we have to think of a topic and stuff by tonight, to be submitted tomorrow. And we havent settled on one yet, which makes it quite bothersome as it seems as if I am the only one bothering with it. sheesh.

Watched "Predators" last night. It was gruesome when the predators spilled out green glowish blood?! No idea why was it like that. And it kinds of go deeper into humanity and the idea of kindness or death. Quite cool, though in the end, it wouldn't really make a good movie for families to watch together. Especially when you have young kids. heh.

Helped Vivianne set up her blogshop as well. She was being totally random and just suddenly asked me, hey sueqin, would you support me if i set up a blogshop? WHATTTT??? I was totally surprised but cool with the idea of a blogshop. I mean, I am currently having fantasies about being some rich kid due to a blogshop. HAHA. Helped her set it up and am currently waiting to get pictures, prices and all the details from her now. When it is ready, I will promote it here! :)

Now, I am just reading manga as usual and slacking away. I am totally not looking forward to tomorrow's MPP. Because what if the teacher totally hates our work? *shiver* This feeling of not living up to a teacher's expectations is really annoying.

hot guys

I am being like a total no-lifer here by going around posting pictures of hot guys. lol.
Starting to miss school already. Miss the homework that is given to us despite our constant objections. Miss the recess where we queue up for cafe food and complain about Betty. Miss the days where I feel like dozing off during boring classes.
And most importantly, I miss the bickering, laughing and sharing with friends and classmates. :)
Holidays seem kind of useless now that I have started to lose interest in whatever that is on the internet. Have been wandering around on Wikipedia and reading up on people like Kate Moss and Twiggy. Reading manga is boring as well since I have already read most of the interesting shoujo mangas already. The rest of them are cliche stories.
Recently bought two terrapins. SHO KUTE. The smaller one is mine and the larger one is my brother's. A bit ironic uh? They are always stuggling around and they love to hide under the shelter though I always torture thoe poor small things by forcing them out. Haha.
Looking for potential laptops to buy and will most probably buy Toshiba protégé T230-1001 or Toshiba Portege R705-P2. Both toshiba :D and maybe a Samsung one.
Looking forward to going to Genting. Really hope that my auntie will be able to book seats for us.
And my father went to buy "Walking with Dinosaurs" tickets! :D so cool right! haha.

Not sure what to do these holidays.
Maybe some writing :)
