The 28th of August was one of my happiest days ever!!!! After an hour in Borders, I left the place with six new books and a huge smile on my face!!!!!
My mum insisted that placing the books in this position would look good...... HAHAHA OKAY.
1. The five people you meet in Heaven - Mitch Albom
It's quite a popular book hahaha Sheryl said that it's good!!! :) I asked on Twitter LOL.
2. Hector and the Secrets of Love - Francois Lelord
I bought it only because someone on Formspring suggested it to me a few months ago. Yes, I haven't forgotten about your recommendation haha thank you!!! I know someone told me about Perfect Chemistry but I really couldn't find it! :(
3. Hidden - Cathy Glass
I honestly love her after reading Damaged!!! Being a foster carer is really not an easy job hehe can't wait to read this one! The description at the back of the book didn't explain much about the content, but of course the young boy had a hidden past heh.
4. Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother - Amy Chua
I hope I bought the right book!!! I think it is hahaha Joey was telling me about it previously!!!
5. Safe Haven - Nicholas Sparks
Anything by him is a good book hahaha.
6. We need to talk about Kevin - Lionel Shriver
LOOKS DAMN BLOODY FREAKING GOOD!!!!! This was at the top of my "to-buy-at-Borders" mental list, seriously. It's the thickest one among the six, but looks like the most interesting one hohoho.
HOWEVER.... I can only read these books after my O levels because I wouldn't have time to study! I really don't know how long I'll take to finish them all because I'm a very very slow reader, I assure you. I take like three minutes to finish one page haha. Maybe it's cuz I really read every single word and try to picture the scene in my mind. Once I accidentally skip past one word, I have to read the whole line/ paragraph again.
OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER.
Yes I am weird I know.
Hello!! I have pictures from yesterday!!! I didn't bring my camera, so these were taken with my phone hahaha.
Parkway to meet Anna > Bedok Library with Joey and Steph > Beckie's place > Anna's place for dinner!!!
Lovely day with my girls hehehe.
They were all damn shocked that I was wearing jeans! SERIOUSLY, ALL FOUR OF THEM. Very surprising meh!!!!
This picture is so pretty!!! It made Steph sort of regret getting a BB instead of an iPhone HAHAHAHA.
As requested on my Formspring, my cute little water bottle!!! I love anything that has a picture of a mustache on it hahaha! It's definitely because of Tumblr.
"I mustache you a question, but I'll shave it for later" LOL.
Okay..... I'm gonna talk about random things. As usual.
1. I had my O Level English Oral on the 23rd of August!!!! I don't think I did exceptionally horrible, although my reading aloud wasn't really good. I fumbled with like two words because I was pretty nervous! The picture was about this Indian lady helping a Chinese wheelchair-bound person play the piano. John said that it's the other way round because the Indian woman was blind. LOL NOT GONNA BELIEVE HIM I'M GONNA STAY POSITIVE. The conversation was quite alright. They asked me like five/six questions in total haha. I got damn agitated when talking about food, which made them smile. Which is good right? I am ranting. Okay.
2. Anna came over to my house on some random day and we were watching On The Fringe. This girl COULD NOT stop picking on the show. Even the advertisements were not spared!
"They're talking too quickly."
"30 minutes into the show and all they've done is make him go to school."
"Why does she keep falling? See lar. So skinny, so pale, so weak."
And when the girl said something like, "When we look up, we'll see the same blue sky", Anna went like, "Unless you're in different time zones."
LOL!!!!! Damn funny!!!
4. I woke up this morning with news my boyfriend fainted -.- We were on the phone at like.. 2 in the morning? And he was really sleepy, so he slipped on some towel, knocked his head on the shelf, fell on the floor and fainted.
A part - VERY VERY VERY VERY SMALL PART - was touched that he didn't tell me he was sleepy or anything. We just kept talking :) Okay he's alright now.
I was damn shocked lar!!! I thought he was ignoring me or something......
Hello I ripped these photos off from Facebook!!! Thank you, Murong! :) There were over 100 pictures so I'm just gonna post those that are important/ memorable/ basically look nice hahaha!!!
During our rehearsal at Goodman Arts Center, we were in a dance studio with a few other groups. There was this primary school girl who kept frowning!!! It seemed like she was trying to squint but it looked really funny!!! So.... That explains why they were doing this face.
Here I am, looking frustrated and about to murder people. I was attempting to do Chinese. Seriously man I don't understand how people can ace the subject!!!! All the choices in the MCQ (First section) are so similar lar.
Minying was trying to cover Sheryl's boobs because that's what Murong did like last year or something. HAHAHA. Good old times :)
You all should watch these two videos!!!! The real, professional people. Dancers whom I aspire to be hahaha I wanna be that flexible and have that kind of control..... I wonder how long they took to reach this standard!!!
This is the original dance performance during the Tao Li Cup Dance Competition!!! The one that my dance teacher had to modify because we're not that good hahaha.
Okay the main lead's pointe is beautiful.
I've watched quite a lot of videos from Youtube but I think she's the best. Yin Shuo (I think that's her name) is amazing too.
Okay very very very demoralizing..... These dancers are my motivation to train harder during practices!!! I'm gonna try and study while doing splits or something.
DETERMINED TO IMPROVE MY FLEXIBILITY BEFORE MY DANCE EXAM THIS YEAR!!!!
Go me!
My day started at Kfc with Minying, Jinglin, Murong, Sheryl, Francine and Peiying!!! Yummy food in the morning :) After changing, we had our final rehearsals for the curtain call. Our dressing room was all the way at Campus One, when the Lee Foundation Theatre is at Campus Three!!! We had to cross the road like thrice in our costumes, hairdos, make up and dancing shoes. Okay at least we didn't have to worry about getting into a car accident cuz the drivers would be too shocked to step on their gas pedals. Yup it was THAT weird.
During the preparation for the first show, most of us were doing productive work. (Yes including me!!)
OH there was this creepy man in black shades and a cap sneakily lurking outside our room. Seriously scared the shit out of everyone!! We were damn afraid that he was some psychopath/ serial killer/ flasher. He kept peeping into our room and waving at us lar. Ya Ni went out to ask him if we could help him with anything, and he cheekily said something like "I am just playing games with you all." -.- LOL. Visiting the toilet was like entering a haunted house because he was hiding at the place opposite the girl's toilet.
"He was in track pants."
"TYPICAL DRESSING OF A SERIAL KILLER."
No joke. Hilarious now that I'm thinking of it, but still quite scary.
While waiting for them to escort us to the stage, the few of us were talking about damn random things!!! From Popeyes to a chalet to the virgin line to abortion to sex...... Yes we digress a lot.
Yan Ling came back to support us!!! :) It was such a delightful surprise seriously!!! HOW LONG HAD I NOT SEEN THAT GIRL?!?!?! Bloody hell why did she quit :(
Li Tong didn't join this performance so Francine took over her place. She was my partner!!! Wlao she learns dance steps damn quickly and perfects them in a really short time.
Yes. Full of admiration.
Bimbo Gwee, if you're seeing this, I miss you :'( You are a freaking inspiration I assure you. You're too flexible man!!!
There was one head gear missing so the teacher gave me one from Sui Yue Ru Ge..... Odd one out oh man :(
TEH JINGLIN :) The stick.
So skinny, seriously. Hahaha she's amazing. I don't even know what else I can say. Always been there for me since... Two years ago? Yes my favourite listening ear.
Irreplaceable buddy.
My mum lugged 16 cups of Koi all the way from Illuma!!! She's lovely hehehe forever so supportive :* Kisses and hugs to you mummy.
Focus - The two girls on the right (Minying and Peiying) look like they're kissing. LOL the wonders of camera angles.
I felt that both shows (3pm and 8pm) were successful hehehe. The latter was better though. There was a better atmosphere. Maybe it's just me.
Anyway, I got to see Ruimin and Elizabeth dance!!! By the way, they are students of the Hong Kong School of Performing Arts (SOMETHING LIKE THAT LAR) and used to be from NAFA!!! The progress that they have made is... Appalling. They're damn good now!! Oh and that male soloist (Which cough Minying thought was cough good looking cough) was one of the best Chinese dancers I've seen in my life! His expressions were so real and he could lift himself off the ground so easily, as it seems. He did make a few mistakes during the evening show but he didn't let that affect his dance at all. Such an idol..... :)
AH ANYWAY, I hope the Grade 13 people will come back and join the next performance, if Zou Lao Shi allows. Being on stage without them would be something I'll definitely miss.
