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.
