DIVERGENT OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG! omg... OKAY SO LIKE LAST SUNDAY I WENT TO WATCH THE BEST MOVIE EVAAA!!!!!!! IT IS CALLED... *epic whisper* divergent (!!!!!!) Divergent is like my ultimate favourite book and I am so happy it is turned into a movie because it's just too awesome! I was like looking forward to this day for more than a month. LITERALLY!! *screaming* *fangirling*

AHHH SO PRETTY!!!

Anyway, Minyi (who is also crazy about Divergent) and I have been planning this trip for a kind of long time. We invited 14 people. Her mum and Mummy went with us to watch DIVERGENT (*epic whisper*) cuz it's PG13. I mean like really??? It is soooo for kids. Not. On the day, I was freaking out. A lot. This was the exact date and time when we went to watch Divergent:

Day: 30/03/14 Sunday
Time: 4 (Four!!) to 6.30 (Six!!!)

At 3:30, my friends all started to arrive. We all agreed to wear Faction colours. Basically, we all went online and did this Aptitude test. I am Divergent and I have an Aptitude for Dauntless and Erudite!!! Omg... So I had to wear blue and black clothes. Most of us wore black and blue clothes cuz Dauntless is like the best faction. Shannon wore gray as she's a Stiff from Abnegation. Like, she's the only Stiff in class.

Awesomest Faction :)

We then went to buy popcorn and stuff. The queue was kind of long. While queuing, Midnight Memories MV started showing... We all started singing (even though we hate that song). And we faked that we were from CHIJ as we didn't want to embarrass our own school. When we finally entered the cinema, it was already 4 (FOUR!!) and the Summit Entertainment logo just appeared. I sat in between Mummy and Minyi. Minyi and I are like the craziest Divergent fans in class so we had to sit next to each other (duh) to fangirl. She's crazier than me though...Then we sat down and started fangirling like crazy and the random stranger person who was sitting next to Minyi stared at us like we were mad. And we were mad :)

The first scene that appeared was this shot of lovegrass and a sunset at the back. Then the casts' names started appearing on the screen and Minyi was like *SCREAM OMG* when Shailene Woodley and Theo James names appeared. Then she started whispering, "WE ARE WATCHING DIVERGENT TOGETHER HEHE!" After that, we continued to fangirl... After the scene of some random field (prob outside the fence), then came the scene of the Divergent Chicago. IT WAS LIKE SO PRETTILY AWESOME!! :D And Mummy said that it was so far not bad! AND THEN... *drumroll*... CAME SHAILENE WOODLEY'S VOICEOVER!!! She was just like, "a hundred years ago, after the war, our founders divided us into five factions, hoping to restore lasting peace etc. etc." Minyi's hands and mine were like super clammy and we were clutching each other and silent screaming.

They then showed the shot of the Five Factions, and started explaining which value each faction upholds. Erudite, intelligence. Abnegation, selflessness. Candor, honesty. Amity, peace and happiness. And Dauntless (the awesomest faction), bravery!!! <3

The parts when we fangirled the most:

1. Movie just started
2. Aptitude Test
3. Jumping off the train
4. Four first appeared
5. The next time Four appeared and talked
6. Fear landscape
7. "Fear doesn't shut you down" part
8. "I wanna be brave" part
9. Fourtris moments <3
10. Last stage of initiation
11. Four was under the simulation and was GOING TO KILL TRIS
12. End of the movie (in the train going to Amity)

So summary...

The movie was just SOOOO awesome!!! One of the best things is that is almost exactly the same as the book! It's so sad that they skipped out the butter knife part. And they didn't really show Tris's friendships with Will and Al that well. And the entire movie was a little rushed. But overall, it was so much better than I expected. I was kinda expecting it to be really emo! And it wasn't THAT bad! During the climax, I turned around to look at my other friends' expressions and they were PRICELESS! Estelle had her hand clamped over her mouth, Leia was hiding behind the popcorn box, and Jun Ray's mouth was agape!! Me and Minyi's hands were soooo wet. The whole popcorn box was wet at the end of the movie! We silent screamed so much and every 5 minutes, Minyi would recite what would happen next. It was kinda annoying and I had to resort to asking her to shush. I couldn't concentrate okay? Every 15 mins, Minyi would tell me which parts the movie missed out, and she would say, "Only true Divergent fans know that" -.-

All I want to say is that Divergent is a totally awesome movie and book! The book is better than the movie though :)

Many other people left already, but we still managed to take this after the movie

On the FOURth of April (The FOURth month), it was the international Four day (4/4/14) so many Divergent fans all over the world wrote #Four on their hands!

Our hands <3

Adventure Cove

The 14th of October was a day that I had been anticipating for weeks, and the reason was because my best friends and I were going to Adventure Cove - a water theme park! Yippee!

On the morning of that day, it rained cats and dogs. Thus, my friends and I were really worried that it would rain while we were at Adventure Cove, and we might not be able to go there. Liesel came to my house before our trip to take a ride with us. 

Mummy was to be our parent chaperone during our trip in case anyone drowned or anything. We met Lauren and Shayne at the USS globe and from there, we bought our tickets and went into Adventure Cove.

We were all flushed with excitement and joy as most of us had not been to Adventure Cove before. Also, we were going with friends and that made a lot of difference. Adventure Cove was almost like Wild Wild Wet, except that it was more fun, less crowded and less dirty. There were pools and slides almost everywhere, a HUGE wave pool, and an enormous fish tank (for snorkelling) etc.

The best and the most miraculous part was that it had stopped raining, so Lauren, Liesel, Shayne, Mummy and I could enjoy our trip at Adventure Cove to the fullest. The first ride that we went to was called "Adventure River". It was a slow, relaxing and enjoyable ride. All we needed to do was to grab a float and life-vest and jump into the winding pool that was shaped like a river. There were currents moving us along in that ride as we sat in the enormous floats and drifted aimlessly along with the current. Along the way, we saw stingrays and many different types of marine fishes.

We then went to another ride called "Duelling Racers". The ride was fun and was more for people who were daring and competitive. We were supposed to race against a friend on 2 slides, and the one who reaches the bottom first wins. I was racing against Lauren. The ride was steep and fast, and we could feel the wind blowing against our faces as we plummeted down the slide. I reached the bottom long before Lauren did! :D Shayne and Liesel were racing against each other. However, when Shayne was going down the slide, she did not tuck her arms in. Thus she suffered abrasions when she reached the bottom of the slide.

Mummy brought Shayne to the First-Aid centre while Lauren, Liesel and I went to the wave pool to play. The wave pool was one of the funnest attractions in the whole Adventure Cove. The waves were just so strong and powerful. Swimming in the wave pool was almost impossible - the currents were so strong that they would sweep us back with much impact. We drank loads of disgusting chlorine water from the wave pool as the waves dipped us underwater.

Mummy came back soon with Shayne. Shayne could not get in the water for about an hour, so we went for lunch first. We had lunch at this restaurant called "Bay Restaurant". I had fish and chips and I realised all my friends (including me) were starving. Swimming probably made us tired and hungry.

After lunch, we went to this obstacle course in Adventure Cove. The attraction was something like the TV show, Wipeout. If we fell off an obstacle, we would just fall straight into the 4m deep water. Thankfully, no one fell into the water!!

Then, we went to the wave pool again. It was as exciting as before. The waves just kept engulfing at us and since Mummy was with us, we went to the deep end where the waves were even stronger! We were wearing life jackets so it was quite safe even though we went under water numerous times.

We took a slide (I forgot what the name of the slide was) that was green in colour and was quite exhilarating. The queue for that slide was quite long - about 45 minutes. The time seemed to pass really quickly as we sang songs like "Really Don't Care", "Best Song Ever" and "Here's To Never Growing Up". The slide was full of twists and turns, and our float went down the slide pretty fast. While sliding down, Liesel and I sang "Sparks Fly", another song by the awesome Taylor Swift. ;)

After dipping ourselves in the wave pool once again, Lauren and I decided to go snorkelling with fishes. Liesel and Shayne were scared that the fishes would nibble at their toes -.-, so they didn't want to go.

In the end, Liesel and Shayne decided to go to the wave pool with Mummy, and Lauren and I went to queue up for "Rainbow Reef".  Rainbow Reef is the name of the snorkelling attraction at Adventure Cove.

The queue there was soooo long. Even longer than the queue for the slide. HOWEVER.....there was a couple standing in front of us in the queue and they were like so disgustingly gross. They were kissing non-stop and they looked so ridiculous that Lauren and I had to stifle our laughter. Even the people who stood behind us in the queue were going to laugh. Lauren and I then named the weird couple "Monster X". Heehee.... :)

We decided not to go snorkelling because the queue was just too long. It was also getting quite late and we had to go back home soon.

We went to bathe at the dirty toilets at Adventure Cove then went back home. Shayne's father offered to drive me and mummy back home. It was a tiring, fun and fulfilling day at Adventure Cove and I would really like to go back there with all my good friends again.

My First School Camp Part 2

I spent the whole night packing for just that two days of my camp. Mummy helped me pack loads and loads of stuff into my camping bag that night. She must be anxious whether I would be able to sleep well, eat well, be safe.....  (I can't finish my list of examples or I would use up half of this page) She and Papa even drove past my school during my dinner time hoping to get a peep at me!! ;)
15th of March 2012

I went to school at eight forty-five in the morning, carrying an enormous camping bag. I dropped my bag off at a nearby classroom and went to join my friends at where we are supposed to go. We played some rather babyish games there like Splat and Murderer. My group was named Mermaid( I didn't choose the name). I had no idea why suddenly, my group was named Mermaid by our group leader who was eleven years old. We even got made fun of by some of the other groups like Yogi Bear though their group's name is much worse than ours. :(
We then proceeded to one of the classrooms and spent one and a half hours on boring leadership training and after that we finally got to eat our lunch. I don't think I should say eat. I only nibbled at some of the rice and sweet and sour pork! The rest of the food was just all unusual vegetables that I had never seen before. After lunch, we needed to tidy up the canteen and pick up little disgusting bits of food from the floor with our bare hands. I didn't want to do it nor my friends, but we were forced to do it by the teachers. Yuck! Anyway, there are even more gross things to come!
My group then came out with a group cheer. It was like this: 
Mermaid, mermaid we will decide your fate. 
We will win and you will lose, it is not for you to choose.
After that, we started our fun games! The first game that my group played was called Hula-hoop Walk. We had to hula-hoop and walk all the way to another place. It was very easy and we finished the whole game in four minutes. The second game was called Make-up Madness. There was a plate of flour and each of us had to put our face into that plate of flour. We also had to smudge a bit of green paint onto our noses! That was the worst game of all. >_<
We went for many more exciting games but the last game that my group went for was the best! There was a leaking pipe that was full of holes and most of us had to cover them. The rest of us carried styrofoam cups that were already broken on our heads so we were all very wet after the game.
After all the activities, we started our water bombing! Each group had a limited amount of water bombs that we could use to hit the other groups. It was extremely fun but soon, we had to all clean up. :(  Some of the groups( not my group ) got to bathe first and didn't need to help us to clean up our school.
After that, I went to bathe ( very cold water! ) in the toilet cubicles that people use to poop and pee! We  ate delicious fish and chips for dinner. That was the best meal of the whole camp!
At around eleven at night,we were all still all awake doing another activity that was called Water Source. The primary three and four students were supposed to find a water source and where it would end while the primary five students were to find pipes that were hidden all over the school and connect them together. The primary six students needed to write a poem about how precious water is.
Finally, at twelve midnight, we snuggled into our sleeping bags and tried to fall asleep. Unfortunately for me, I couldn't sleep so I fell asleep at two o'clock and woke up at six in the morning.
Wait for my next blog entry and I will tell you about my next day at the camp and my horrible night!

My First School Camp Part 1

On the 14th to 16th of March, I went for my school's leadership training camp. It was three days and one night. We went to East Coast Park on the 14th of March and on the 15th and 16th, we stayed overnight in school. The camp was very fun, exciting and interesting, though at some parts, it was tiring. We learnt to work together as a team, speak confidently in public and develop leadership skills. 


14th of March 2012
We were going to build sandcastles at East Coast Park Castle Beach! :) I was immensely ecstatic when I heard that we were going to one of my favourite places - the beach! Unfortunately, I wasn't in the same team as one of my good friends, L. :( 
The weather was quite bad that day. The sky was brewing with dark, gloomy clouds threatening to rain. At twelve thirty when I reached school, it was already drizzling a little. We could still make the sandcastles but we must wear ponchos though. My group, White zone, was going to build how my school was going to look like thirty years later. We were in charge of creating our school's imaginary future boarding school and chapel. The boarding school was shaped like a rocket and the chapel was shaped like a moon. Our sandcastles also needed to be taller than 1 and a half metres, compared to my  usual tiny, 30 cm sandcastles. In fact, the sandcastles turned out better than I expected. :o
We started building our sandcastles at two o'clock sharp after being introduced to many different kinds of tools used to build them. We dug here and there, smoothened out the sand and built our sandcastles higher and higher. After three hours of hard work, we finally finished making our sandcastles. The sandcastles were brilliant, superb and wonderful. I think my group's rocket boarding school was over 2 metres tall! 
At five thirty, we went back to our school, tired but elated. That was the best sandcastle in my entire life that I ever made!

My School Carnival

 I went to my school carnival on the 29th of October. Mummy was going to sell mouth-watering fishballs and delicious fried bee hoon in the canteen. The carnival was called "A Rainbow of Colours". After reporting at my class at 8.45am, we started the fantasic carnival! Rachael, my best friend, went with me as usual. We were both apparently in seventh heaven. Alethea, another one of my best friends, was having her violin exam so she could not come with us for a few hours :(

My sister taking a train ride with my parents.

Rachael and I rattled on like a machine gun while our arms gestured wildly. We then went to ride on the slow ferris wheel and a very boring spinning ride that even my sister dared to take. At 11 o'clock, we went to the canteen to help Mummy sell fishballs around our gigantic school. I held the small tray of yummy fishballs, while Rachael was in charge of collecting the tokens from people who bought our big fishballs. After one hour of hard work selling fishballs, we went to meet Alethea at the huge canteen. After eating lunch, Alethea, Rachael and I then went to ride some more rides.
Timid Rachael did not even dare to ride a single ride that we took! Alethea and I took 3 rides - a "sky-spinner", some sort of car ride and a teacup ride. We also played little games to earn tokens. If we had enough tokens, we could also redeem prizes like stuffed toys.

The bears we won!!

I won a humongous brown bear. Very soon, I needed to go home. This school carnival was one of my happiest days in the year. 

A Day With My Friends

On Monday, two of my best friends, Alethea and Rachael, came to my house for a short while after our ballet class. We talked about everything under the sun as we walked to my house in high sprits.


 My friends and I then ate mouth-watering macaroni while telling each other to have good table manners. After that, we felt tired and lethargic so we rested on my bed for a long while. When all of us recharged, we played the"game of life". It was fun and exciting as each of us took turns in spinning the spinner and taking new life tiles.


 Very soon, Alethea's mother came to pick her up. She waved goodbye reluctantly and went back to her own house.


 But, Rachael was still going to stay for another one and a half hours. We did nothing but sat on my desk and chatted nineteen to the dozen.


As the seconds ticked by, Rachael soon had to go home too. Rachael and I said bye to each other sadly and thought about our lovely day.      

An Immensely Fun Day!

Last Thursday was a fun and joyful day for me. At 1.30p.m, Rachael, my best friend came to my house for a short play date. We chatted, threw Angry Birds at each other and did very babyish stuff with my little sister.


 Then at 3.15p.m, we took a brisk walk to another of my friend's house for a party which was a stone's throw away. The party was at the function room which was extremely small.


 At the party, we played pass-the-parcel and two treasure hunt games. Each one of us won many prizes! Then, we went to the playground. We played there for very long! When we went back to the function room, a magnificent 3-tier cake was on the table. The cake was pink, blue and green and had chocolate sprinkles sprinkled all over. After we sang the "Happy birthday song", the birthday girl made a wish and blew out the candles with all her might.


 Soon, my best friend and I had to go home. We said goodbye reluctantly and went home in seventh heaven thinking about this wonderful day.

Marvellous Musical!

Two Fridays ago, I went to my school's musical with Mummy. 2 of my friends were in the main cast. The first part was splendid, and the second part was even more brilliant! My friends sang so nicely that I was mesmerised. Mummy was fascinated too. I could not believe that my friends could sing so beautifully, so I made up my mind to tease her on Monday. 


During the intermission, I played with my friends and bought some musical merchandise from my form teacher. My friends and I chatted about loads of things in school. 

My friends and I

After the musical, I left the hall in an exhilarated mood and walked home with Mummy in high spirits. 

Fun Day With Friends

30 January 2011 was a day full of fun activities. In the morning, I went to my best friend's birthday party at Tott. We made delicious chocolate chip cookies in all kinds of shapes and sizes. There was a small playground at Tott too. Rachael bought a rainbow pinata. We snatched the yummy sweets. I took many sweets. Rachael had an enormous ice-cream cake. Rachael, Elizabeth and me ate the cake and chatted together. 


After we finished the cake, we went to play in the little, tiny playground for kids 2-6 years old. We did not care about the rules of the playground, and climbed up and down like mischievous monkeys! 


Soon, Mummy, Papa and Little Bee came. Little Bee played in the playground for a while, while Mummy chatted with other mummies. Papa went home to take something. 


When Papa came to fetch us back, it was raining cats and dogs. We ate our brunch there. After we ate our brunch, we went home and tidied our house. 


Andrea and gang were coming to our house at night! When they came to our house, we played with Little Bee's "Playcorn" game. It was very fun. Then we played Wii games. We played Tennis, Baseball, Bowling and Ping Pong on Wii Sports. We played iPhone games together. 


Everyone was amazed by our pet octopus. Everybody crowded around the octopus tank when Papa fed the octopus. The octopus was scared by so many people, and everyone only saw one tentacle :(


Around 10.30pm, they all went home.
