Jesus is the reason for the season

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! :]
Christmas is always the best part of the year <3

So today, we performed a short drama at school, no studying at all hahaha :D We went home at around 12 o clock. My friend, Sam from Vietnam, she acted as Prince Adam. and... he she looked SO cool in the suit. for me, she looked like the boys in japanese comics. hahahaha :D what do you think? 

 We also had caroling to three houses today. There were about 40 of us, including the other bridging scholars, house mistress, and assistant house mistress. We started at 6.30pm and went home at around 10pm. It's my first caroling here :D I loved it so much, but i kinda miss caroling in Indonesia :( I miss my choir friends too :( hahaha

Anyway the food was delicious! turkey, cakes, spaghetti, pizzas, candies, pumpkin soup, and many more! :D
The last house we visited was HUGE :o It's so-called a castle I think. The interior design was beautiful too. hahaha

absurdly fun

Hey guys! =) I've been here in Singapore for 1 month and a week! wow yay me time passed by so fast! :D I think I'm kinda used to it already and I love my life here :) hahaha
Anyway, unfamiliar scenes of chaos and confusion unfolded last night in MRT stations across central Singapore the day before last night. Have you guys seen it on the internet? or in the newspaper, maybe? It was indeed a chaos. Just before 7 pm, thousands of commuters were plunged into total darkness as trains on the North-South Line suddenly lost power and ground to a halt. I believe you can imagine how it felt, being trapped for an hour in a windowless carriages where the air-conditioning had also failed, before eventually being rescued by SMRT staff. Some train windows were smashed to let in air.

So, last night, Hanny, Emily, Felecia, Vera, and I came home from school and went to Popular Bookstore which is located in toa payoh. \After the quick short shopping, we went to the toa payoh MRT station at 7.10, expecting to be home at 7.30 so that we can join the Art and Craft lesson at the hostel. That's when we saw the multitude and notice signs and heard loud non-stop beeping sounds.

First of all, I called Ms. Inez, our Assistant House Mistress (AHM) and reported to her that we were going to be late. *for the fact that I didn't know the train would not work for a very long time* So we waited for about half an hour and called her back. We asked whether we should wait again or take a bus. She told us to take bus number 139 and stop at "something"cc. Then, we should take another bus heading to Newton Station Emily, who was on the phone didn't hear the "something" but we confidently took the bus, but couldn't find the "something"cc bus stop. So, we stopped and went down at the 4th bus stop, where we found out that it wasn't a very good idea. The place was so empty, no people nor cars passing by. Only the five of us in the darkness. Still. Laughing was our first reaction. We were supposed to be crying righttt lol -_-

fake scenes ^ lol

We tried to call Ms. Inez a few times , but she didn't answer. We called Ms. Yindy, another AHM, asked for help. Luckily, while we were calling her, a bus on opposite direction stopped by. We hopped in and arrived back at toa payoh soon. Ms. Yindy told us to take bus no. 153 or 151, we waited for maybe about 20 minutes but we can't see any of them passing by.

However, there is this SMRT bus, which could take us take us to Newton station. The bus was empty so it felt like our private bus. :D Moreover, the ride was totally FREE ;D

So.. we arrived at Newton Station and found Ms. Yindy there, waiting for us <3 We walked back to Oldham Hall together and arrived at 8.55pm. The art and craft lesson was almost over. Everyone was actually done with all 3 crafts (christmas hat, necklace and earrings, and stars to hang on the ceiling). Luckily we still got the chance to make our christmas hats, which was actually compulsory because we're gonna wear it in carolling. :D

It felt greaaattt afterall. Everything that night! I felt like one of the famous five characters, written by Enid Blyton :D would be even more fun if we were trapped inside the train too x) hahahahahaha

see you next post! soon I hope :)

i dare you

visited angela's home today. It's my first time since she moved to her new house at Cemara Asri. We watched some music video and running man episode 1 from her mac. and then here's the fun part, Angela, her cousin, and I went around the neighborhood. Angela drove the car. We ate some ice-cream and play the "dare" game. well, not really. I only played once and spend the rest of the time Laughing Out Loud xD I'm never good at doing crazyy stuffs, like going to an internet cafe and then asking a guy whether the tea taste good, or shouting at somebody from the car's window. big no. never ever.

but the laughing part was AWESOME though ;D

wore this outfit. first time since i bought it because i actually don't like wearing dresses. don't know what's gotten into me today. lol :p

adios! :D

panda face

hello people!
I'm currently sitting in front of my computer with my panda face 0_0 . So here's the story...

I went to Emily's home on Wednesday. The plan was to do the task e-mailed by Ms. Julie with Emily, Hanny, and Felecia, but we ended up watching movies from laptop and dvd anddd eat pizza ;D We watched some episodes of running man first and then ate pizza and then watched green lantern. I went home before the movie ended because i have to go to my badminton lesson, not even 50% yet i think -_-
My badminton lesson finished at 9.30 pm which means i arrived home at about 10 pm. After taking a bath and others i watched The Wallflower (Yamato Nadeshiko) till 4am . so that is whyyy i got this ugly panda face with dark circle around my eyes 0_0 hahahaha

The movie is in japanese and it's taken from anime. Loveee the movie so much! mainly because i like the major male character, Kyohei Takano. hehehe..

i like his personality, he often will say whatever is on his mind, regardless of the consequences. oh and the most important thing is that he loves food. i mean not just loves but LOOOVEES FOOD. I  LOOOVEE FOOD and eat a LOT too! hahahaha xD 


oh and by the way i cut  my hair on Tuesday.

which one's better? hehe :D bye!

mission accomplished

hola! i've got so many things to write. this seldom (almost never) happens, that's why i'm never good at writing essays. took me hours just to figure out the idea. hahahahaha. anyway, i'm gonna separate my ideas into a few posts so that i won't end up writing a super long post and then not posting anything for the whole week. ;)

--

so glad my ballet concert went smoothly on the 23rd of October! my teacher said that she was satisfied with our performance. :D I performed 2 dances. The Chinese Peacock dance with my my previous concert costume and soft shoes and the Harmony of Love dance with my purple tutu and point shoes as the ending of the whole show. save the best for the last , right? ahahaha :b

I received two trophies in the end of the show. one for my grade 7 and the other one for my intermediate foundation exam. sadly both are merit :( but i'm still happy actually, i'm always happy everytime i receive a trophy or any gift. hahaha TEHEE

The formula to calculate IDEAL BODY WEIGHT

Actually I've got nothing to write so I'm just gonna share something that you guys may already know.. ANYWAY, here we go. The formula to calculate IDEAL BODY WEIGHT.

You can use the formula below to calculate your ideal weight:

Ideal Body Weight  = (Height - 100) x 90%

For example: If you are 150 cm tall, then your ideal weight is (150-100) x 90% = 45 kg.
From the above, you can compare the results with reference to the following:

• Thin = The result of less 10% than of the ideal weight
• Overweight = The result of 10% - 20% larger than the ideal weight
• Obesity = The result of more than 20% larger than the ideal weight

So let's calculate our ideal weight, are you ideal yet? ;)

doe ray me far sew la tea doe

Me, Angela, Janis

Went to Happy Puppy Family Karaoke today with Angela and her friend, Janice. They go to the same school at Chandra Kusuma. Janice came together with Angela. We were supposed to meet at 1pm, but we're all late. I arrived at 1.30pm while they arrived at 2pm. So.. I was still "earlier" xD lol Waiting for half an hour in the car wasn't fun, but who cares! I finally get to meet my beloved bestfriend, Angelaaa <3 :D ahahaha

We used to be in the same class since primary two, but then we went to different school since secondary one. boo -_- Yea, we still met every Sunday at the English private lesson, but a few months ago our teacher got married, which means an end for our tuition class. an end for meeting with my bestfriend too :'( Also, this November, I'm going to Singapore for school, which means we're going to be separated even moreee aaaa

Anywayyy, before I cry. lol :p
It was quite funny + awkward for me there at first, cause I still got no courage to sing, eventhough I love to sing.. but Angela succeeded and made me sing. -___-  She's a good persuader. lol
I spent about an hour there and went home cause I still have to take uncle to the airport and then off to Ballet class. An hour passed so quickly ahh

the karaoke room

just wishing we can meet up again another day, next time with our other besties too, Myra and Sylvie! hahaha that's all, gotta edit some pictures. Adios!
