And so yesterday, we went to Legoland! After an
intensive week with the amazing Mr Peter O'connor, this was a highly well deserved break that I was really looking forward to!
Had to reach Newton Centre by 6:45 am and I was really really excited, I couldn't sleep! I reached Newton mrt at around 6:15 am? HAHA YES OTOT GURL RIGHT HERE. The other three were late, especially Tiara! Damn epic.
Dian to Tiara on the phone: Tiara! Hurry up run! We're about to leave on the bus! (when in fact we were still waiting for her at the queue for the tickets, to me and fatin: dian winked)
So when Tiara finally reached, her first words
'I think I lost 10kg from running just now!' HAHAHAH WTF EVEN Kekek ah this girl.
So these were my homies for the day, Dian, Tiara and Fatin!
(my face has gotten fatter) ok so anw first place to go was breakfast at some place somewhere, this is irrelevant! Then we headed to Legoland!
When I saw the Legoland sign on the hill, I immediately went "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh" non-stop. Yes I was that high. And to top it all off, our tour guide told us we had from 10am till 3:30 pm at Legoland!! FIVE FUCKING HOURS ALL TO OURSELVES FUCKING GENIUS AND FUN
First stop was obviously the Legoland entrance where I pretended I owned the queues and took non-ending jumpshots. The worst part about being a good photographer is that people can't take photos as nicely as you do when you take photos of other people. Did that make sense? So when Tiara finally captured a good jumpshot of me, I was elated! By the way, can I just mention, here is a bunch of 18 - 22 year olds screaming like little kids in Legoland yeap.
In the map that was given to us, Legoland seemed ginormous! We couldn't possibly finish the entire course in five hours ): But when we stepped in..... Nah it's not thaaaat huge. (But we still didn't manage to finish it)
So we started off to the left of the entrance, but before that.... the toilet! AND BOY OH BOY WAS I HIGHLY IMPRESSED. They have aircon in the toilets! WOAAAAAOWWWW WHAT EVEN IS THIS REAL LIFE THEY DON'T HAVE AIRCON IN SG TOILETS. THEY HAVE JUST MILDLY COOLING CEILING FANS (I'm exaggerating they do have aircons just not as strong as the ones in Legoland!) We stayed in the toilet for a good 15-20 minutes, me and Dian taking mugshots and mirror shots and what not, while Fatin and Tiara adjusted their hijabs. After a while of wating for F and T, we were out back, once again basking in the blazing hot sun.
On the arrival for the first ride on the left, waiting time was approximately 45 minutes, so we were all like 'Fuck this shit' and I told them the theory of taking the rides in the middle of the themepark first heh So we went to the second ride instead and thankfully the waiting time wasn't that bad. But the person manning the ride was a bitch, she didn't let us sit in the first row so me and Dian had this 'I am so not thrilled face well fuck you all' face on the ride all the way. Meh wasn't as good as I wanted it to be anw
Then we ran to the higher version of this ride, and good lord, wow. Just waow! First off, there was literally NO queue at all. Plus this time, the lady manning the ride was super diduper nice!!! She let us wait for the next ride to take the first seats! HEHE AND AND she complimented me on my hair! hehe thanks!!! First time on the ride, I was so worried for Fatin ): She screamed so scarily and she had this 'OMG I AM GONNA DIE I AM FUCKING TERRIFIED' look on her face that I couldn't fully enjoy the ride..... ): but me and dian took a second round, so everything's good hahahaha
Next was 4D theatre I think? Uhm not as wow as I thought it should be, plus waiting time was like a mega bitch. And the storyline was shit. How can the lazy jerk finally win and get the girl? Seriously, it didn't even have a decent storyline. Meh MEH. Wanted to kope the specs, but well my good side told me 'it will just rot at home' hahahaha so I didn't.
The ride after this one was the best, imo. It's this ride where you sit in pairs and climb up to the top by tugging on a rope! So apparently, all 4 of us got our own seats and so our challenge was to see who can get up the fastest. So when the ride finally went up, GUESS WHO WON.
ME YES ME. But I let go a bit and went back up, and Tiara was like 'OH MY GOD I WON' So uhm without thinking I went 'FUCK YOU I WON BITCH'..... in front of all the little kids. Yeap. '
Fuck you' in front of the kids. I am such an amazing role model. The parents were probably like 'oh my god! That awful teenager spouting such vulgarities in front of the innocent children!!!!!' I am sorry to all, this is my competitive side coming out ):
BUT IT WAS FUN AND FUCK YOU TIARA I WAS FIRST.
NEVER EVER EAT AT LEGOLAND. BUY YOUR OWN FOOD PLS. THE CROWD IS DISGUSTING.
But I managed to make friends with a Singaporean lady whom I probably will never see again?
Next ride was the first ride we missed. Wanted to take the wet ride, but the queue was stupid. Who the fuck's gonna wait 45 minutes for one ride when we only have like 1 1/2 hours left!!!! Took the this ride twice but we didn't get to explore the other side of Legoland cause we had 30 minutes left after that, so we settled with some phototaking at the heart of Legoland, the main attraction. :)
Wanted to buy souvenirs, but uhm everything there is so fucking ex so I was like what even no I'm not buying these overpriced Legos so I didn't get anything. But hey pictures were memories enough ;)
Chocolate factory was a huge disappointment. I thought it was gonna be a big biiiiiig factory showing us all the processes and whatnot but it turned to be a mini explanation behind a mini counter with a mini machine. Wow, so exciting -.-
BUT... Steamboat made up for that disappointment! Cause it was like 20RM for a person each, for the buffet! And the food was like wow so many choices!!!!! Me and Dian went to take round one, and then Fatin and Tiara took a the second round. So much food, so little time hahahah so bloody epic. We were literally trying to finish up all the food we took in the last 15 minutes, so all you can see from us are mouth chewing and no one's talking at all. Did I mention the tom yam soup was so delicious? I drowned everything I cooked in it hahahaha cause I can.
Bus back to causeway was hilarious. You see, cause Tiara puked in this plastic bag, she was just holding it around. And then she started swinging it to Dian and to Fatin, and back again. LOL thank god I was just sitting far from her, I would have screamed HAHAHA but yah it was damn epic! I bet she's the only person I know so far who could have made puking look funny and good. (I still have a phobia to vomiting though, so I'm still not gonna try anything)
Traveling aside, I finally got home and the first thing my dad asked me was 'Why are you home? I thought you not coming back tonight?' Well thanks dad.
But all in all, it was still an amazing day out. First time overseas with friends/cousin, without parents! I felt so free! But the only restriction was money, bleh. I saw this kid buying loads of souvenirs, because his mom was there. Well fuck you hahahaha Imma buy the whole store when I grow up ass.
Other photos are with Dian and Fatin, I have only like those 6 photos in my phone because I was lazy to take photos w ze iPhone lol ok bye night everybody!

Guilty pleasure for you.

Mood: Joyful, Calm
Even though I'm not less busy than I usually am when I have school, the holidays are really much more relaxing and.... if there are no other words to describe it perfectly, lovely. And I guess what makes it even more worthwhile is that I get to spend it with people I actually like and I don't have to feel horrible for not doing any work. My GPA for this semester probably spiraled down though, but let's leave those problems till when school will actually be considered relevant in my life again.
Today, I managed to spend a rather entertaining and fruitful day with Anisa and Shaleen over in the east. It's amazing to have them both by my side - Anisa finally having time to go out with us on a weekday, and Shaleen back in mainland, and not just talking through social networking platforms.
Airport up first and someone was realllllllllllyyyyyy jakon taking the skytrain! Hahahah why my best friend so adorbz! n____n Caught the student meal lunch at T2 Swensen's and I was surprised at how cheap the student meal was! It was basically S$9.80 for any main course dish + free flow of a soft drink. WOW. I didn't know that! If I did, I'd probably eat at Swensen's more often. I attempted to tie a cherry stem into a knot. I failed. Ah well.
Highlight was definitely taking the free T3B2 slide down! In the year that I worked at the airport, I have never ever had the chance to take the slide, but finally, I did! And it was hilarious, we were queuing up behind 6-10 year old children and we are, uhm, 18. Oh god. And I have no idea why but I kept tumbling down and not sliding down? We all went about 3-4 times. We are really young at heart.
Spent our dinner over at E!hub (which I have not been to for agessssss). Somehow, Shaleen was really hungry and ate two slices of pizza! I succumbed to getting a slice too because seeing people eat makes me wanna eat too. Yes, I love food, even the sight of it makes me hungry. We talked and talked and talked and talked and I froze to death so we shifted to McCafe. Finally got my monthly dose of hot caramel macchiato, and it was funny how all of us were amazed at the puffiness of the whip cream! Even me.
I wish the day had been slightly longer. Or that one of us did drive so we wouldn't have had to rush for the train home. Or we could have just met slightly earlier HAHAHA but nevertheless it was really a good destressing day. I love my girls.

I miss filming for Outclassed, even though that's technically only the first episode... I think. But it was great to be an actor for a comedy series, and definitely great to work with my other cast members as well as the crew. I've always wanted to act in a tv series. And I got my chance, but I think I could have done better, I just needed to put in more emotion and feel the my character more! But well, we'll see! Hopefully Outclassed becomes a real tv series, that would be an amazing experience.
Apart from that, I was also one of the actors for Fel's talkshow, and me and Daph got to
shamelessly play with condoms (no joke, we actually took it out and started stretching it like crazy and even used it as a water balloon!!) and talk about sex as if it was a normal everyday thing to talk about in the public of conservative Singapore. Not that I had any personal experience on this issue, I just heard... stories from other people :> Break fast at Long Beach was definitely one of the best meals I had so far, amazing food with wonderful girls like Daph and Fel <3

It's been a tough and trying semester, and honestly, I don't deserve to say I tried my best. This semester had been and will be my downfall.

Been hooked on Avril's Don't Tell Me these past few days. I don't know why. I know it's a really old song, but maybe now, I could relate to the lyrics a bit more than I used to?
'Guess it wasn't enough to take up some of my love.
Guys are so hard to trust.'
True true.
Should end with something like this after every post:
