Bound 2

Haven't posted in so long :( school's been getting very busy and I haven't had that much time to sit down and get a proper non-cas-related-reflection-entry out in a while -yes i have a cas blog, please don't judge me HAHA-

School work has been piling up lately, it's honestly deadline after deadline and assignment after assignment. I really think I need to manage my time properly, I'm getting better, but I'm still a bit too messy and un-organised, ugh. Hopefully I kick my nasty habits of procrastinating and day-dreaming, it's honestly not doing me any good. But I would say I'm a lot more motivated now, and that's been paying off so far :)

I've just been reflecting on appearances and the whole idea of beauty/prettiness that people, well mainly girls, tend to seek. I'm not going to deny the fact that I, too, am quite vain and bother way too much about how I look and how others perceive me. I try not to let that effect me too much, but I don't deny that it does upset me quite a bit when I don't feel like I look good or if I'm not considered pretty. It's quite shallow and annoying to be honest and I have to remind myself that as much as I want to bother about my looks, these things don't matter as much in the long term :) and it's about, cheesily, my insides hahaha

However, I do think that, sometimes, people are very affected and often do get very sensitive about their looks. I mean its natural to get affected by what you see around, and get envious of what we don't have and what we want that others have. We tend to fall into the insecurity of being unwanted because we don't look a certain way or dress in a certain way, but I think that is a whole load of bull. You don't need anyone else's approval for your looks at all. If you're happy and confident in yourself then that's ultimately what matters most :)

On a completely separate note, I just watched Becoming 2013! :) and I'm very proud of Natalie for her performance, love you Nat! Take care ok? :)

I might blog again soon, geez, I'm getting rusty with this personal reflection writing.

Ciao for now~

Other things

Just some updates that I've finally got around to posting, sifting through about two-hundred photos on my iphone and arranging them onto Blogger is probably the only productive thing I've done all day. I've tried my best to arrange them in order from when I left off, but my memory's pretty muddled so it may not be chronological. But here's the summary of events that have happened to me complete with pictures:

1. Exam Week:

My friends' reactions to exams, stress, deadlines, IB and well life:

Lloyd says: Go away, you small child.

 The people I've been studying with:

Natalie after too much math at my place ^

The Gents, Kai Sing and Ching Yi^

History kids dying in the library and us going for lunch with our econs plus one:

2. Post Exams: 

Baking with Chaice and Zandra, in addition to saving Zandra from being lost:

HIGHLIGHTS Exhibition with works from my group's IA photoshoot last year :)

Day out with Natalie, she has converted me into a Boost addict now:

Plus us lying around somewhere in school much later on in the week

Tones ticket sales with the Tones team:

I sent my brother off at Tekong and cried for a good 10 minutes, overly-attached sister award goes to me everyone

TONES!!

"You Tape Duck" by Samuel Choon and the helpers shagged out in the crew corner

 Probably one of my best nights ever, Tones was amazing with great music, lovely company and good vibes. Props to Chaice and Clare for organizing and everyone else on the team who made this happen ^^ best Tones I've ever been to~

I've also gotten my hands on this new app Snap Chat. You take a photo and send it to your buddies and they can only view it for a limited amount of time before the photo is gone. Needless to say, I've been having too much fun screen-shotting -is this even a word??- everything.

Snap Chat Y'all:

 

 Excursion to Joo Chiat has got to be the best Chinese class ever, ate so much food and got to see a whole different side of Singapore :)

    

 Its probably safe to assume Scholars have a thing for paper, hence above ^

 More Snap Chats:

 

 

Gwen always sends the funniest Snap Chats :) <3

Watched the Open House preview for dance and as always, Dance never fails to impress :D -I also got Natalie a cactus, because they last longer and flowers are too mainstream-

Scholar Kong with her childhood nicely packaged in a box:

Cebu shirt printing, we're leaving in 5(?!?) days!

We also made thaumatropes -still don't know how to spell this word- but I can't find the pictures :(

Also, infinitely grateful for the below two:

Been doing quite a bit of reflecting, won't post those thoughts because they're a bit too private and might offend some. But I think its currently for the best, where I am right now is probably going to be better for me long term and I should be happy with that. I've been having a lot of fun recently but I'm also very worried about the future and what it's going to hold for me. Year 5 IB hasn't been good so far and its about time I turn that around. We'll just have to wait and see.

Flying off to Cebu in 5 days and I have to leave the house in 5 minutes. Probably going to post again tonight, we'll see about that too.

Seventeen Seventeen

Hello everyone~

Its been like forever since I blogged.

My last entry was like ages ago... Haven't had much time to post anything on this space. I've got many entries in my drafts that have been collecting dust for quite a while now... The IB has been taking up too much of my time and effort. Hardly have anytime to read or do anything that I like anymore...

But anyway, I'm officially 17 now :) It's been a week since my birthday and I don't feel any different like intellectually, emotionally or spirituality... Been waiting for a change and so far it hasn't happened yet. It's only been a week of seventeen-dom though haha. I probably need to learn to be patient, because good things will happen soon.

Celebrated my Birthday on the 17th (am I the only person that finds this funny?), just a small gathering of good school friends, some I've known for my whole schooling life in SOTA, others I've gotten the privilege of being good friends with only recently :) nonetheless, they're all still lovely, wonderful people and the most glorious company to be around :)

The Lovely Nat Lam <3 

One of the few people I know that can look gorgeous without even trying OTL

the lovely deskbuds from B2 2012! <3 Ching Yi and Amelia! 

The food -drools-

John Lennon and Andrew Lloyd Webber

The Alcoholics Association Picture, AA

The friends surprised me with Cake <3 :')

the most glamourous photo ever please

I really really like this picture hahaha

The lovely girls <3

Diego!

The Bestie for 3 years ft Nat's face 

The Arnis has been doing you good my friend ;) HAHA

Thank you guys so much for taking time out of your Sundays to celebrate the day of my birth, although it wasn't the actual day of my birth (hahaha). You guys are such lovely and wonderful company and I'm really thankful for having each and every one of you guys in my life <3 and to Gwen and Nick who couldn't make it, there'll be other lunches and celebrations that we can have together :) so don't feel like you guys missed out on anything :) <3

On another note Gwen made me a video for my birthday :) <3 love you Gwen <3 and yes my voice is truly that high... 

Will post more updates soon :)
