A PERFECT HOLIDAY IN SINGAPORE :D


yess. after spending new year in Singapore, i went again a few days back. this time, the trip was planned very well and we stayed for four days and had probably one of the most fun experience in a long time.
so, this is like a simplified version of what we(me, mom and sis) did :)

1st day;  We arrived around noon and checked into a hotel. walked around arab street, got lunch and then went to buy myself a new bag cause the sling bag i brought broke, literally, broke while we were walking to the place i was suppose to get my ss3 tickets at. (i shall continue this ss3 thing in a minute :D) so, after that, it rained. and rained and rained. later that night we went to this new fancy shopping mall that just opened. its called ION2 i think. and boy, it was fancy.

2nd day; i woke up in a good mood, had a fast breakfast and went straight to the underwater world at sentosa island. there was like a dolphin show and they really blew me away. and of course we rushed back by noon cause OMGSS3WASSGONNASTARTAT4 (will continue this in a minute as well :D)

3rd day; woke up excited due to last night's awesome-est experience and cranky due to lack of sleep. haha. breakfast and then of course, i went to UNIVERSAL STUDIOS! it was a lot of fun. i took a lot of photos with the characters who were definitely very very cute. despite the consistent bad weather (it rained the entire day), i had the best time there.

4th day; i wanted to just sleep in but of course my mom wanted to go out early to buy some fabrics for raya. let me just say, this year's raya is gonna be a good one. i hope so. :) we arrived amazingly early for our flight at the airport and had korean food for lunch.

YESSS I SHALL DEDICATED A  MAJOR

LOWER PART OF THIS POST TO MY 

RAMBLINGS ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE

MEETING SUPER JUNIOR LIVE 

*APPLAUSE*

well, i wasn't exactly confident that i could go to the concert because i am always the kind of person who expects the worse. i mean, what if the person i bought tickets from was a con? i would just be devastated so, throughout the week before i went to singapore i didn;t let myself get too excited. but you see, i was really lucky. the person turned out to be an angel. so yeahhh. shoutout to nancy; thanks again! :D

#1 MISSION: GET THE TICKETS 

right before my flight, i called her and we reconfirmed our time and venue to meet. after landing i was a little too excited and actually arrived to the meeting place about an hour prior to our meeting time. and this was when the strap at my bag broke. tragic really. so, while waiting for her, my mom had to get me a new bag. not so tragic.haha ;D finally around 4.30 pm, she called and told me that she has arrived and we met. it was a really cold and wet meeting as it rained. heavily. and i don't know why the pedestrian walk to bugis mrt didn;t have shelter. i was so glad to meet her. i paid the balance and she gave me two pen B moshpit tickets and one kyuhyun lightstick.

#2 MISSION: FIND TRANSPORT TO THE VENUE

so, nancy actually told me when we met that i could take the MRT to the stadium. HOWEVER, my mom of course was very doubtful about me and my sister's safety so she asked us to take a cab instead.

#3 MISSION: GET THERE EARLY TO LINE UP

you know how i mentioned we went to the underwater world on this day? yeah, we rushed back at noon cause we planned to go earlier so that we could get a good spot. the concert was supposed to start at 4 pm so, we made our way around 1.45 pm. we reached the stadium around 2 pm in the rain (yes, it was still raining) and were really confused at first cause we didn't know where to go. asked a few people and the next thing we knew, we were lining up for our pit. under the shelter. ahah. the expensive ticket was worth it. :D

#4 MISSION: GET SIGNS AND A GOOD SPOT AT THE PIT

okay, i know it was a little dumb of me to not bring a placard but i read the rules and they said that if you're standing in the moshpit, you should not bring cause it will block the views of the people behind you. nevertheless, i got lucky and managed to snag two signs made by the SGE.L.Fs :)
because i lined up quite early, i was like in the second line from the front. so yes, mission successful.

#5 MISSION: SCREAMMMMMM

this of course i succeeded very well too. around 4 pm, the stadium really started to fill up and about ten minutes later, the lights were off and it was dark except of course the sapphire blue lightsticks which was crazy. almost everyone had one. i was really amazed. it was jawdropping.

and of course the video came out on the screen and everyone went crazy. craaaazzzyyy. i screamed so hard and they we'rent even actually out yet. untill... SORRY SORRY started playing and donghae magically(ok, so not magically.he was using cable cords of course) appeared on stage and this black round thing on the stage were raised to the ceiling of the stadium and one by one, they appeared.

HWAAAAAAAAAAAAA O.O   <<<< this is me.

i can't actually remember how i reacted at first cause i was screaming so loud and was just so overwhelmed. they were all in white and the first performance was so amazing. everyone was so energetic and the fans were singing along and the fanchants was quite successful, i must say. from the start until almost half of the song, they were in the middle of the stage together but after that, they started moving around. so, this was the moment i saw the members really up close for the first time.

ryewook came to my side of the stage first and he stayed. and next to him was KYUUUUUUU. *DIES* i screamed soo hard, i thought my voice was gonna break. my thoughts at this moment;

OMFGASDFGHJKL:"XCVBNM<> ryewook and kyu is infront if me. my life is complete. KYAAAAAAA

i just screamed a long with the other 20,000 fans and my god, they are fine. i mean. they all look so much better in person than in videos or photos. seriously. seriously. especially my kyuu. he's so handsome. i've never been so smitten over a guy in awhile/
after the sorry sorry was over, it was eunhyuk that came to my side. and he looked so good with his new spiky hair. and then siwon came. and of course, i died for the umpteenth time.

me: SIWON OPPAAAAAAAAA~~

yeahhh. and then they sang SUPER GIRL which was another crazy moment of course. henry and zhoumi joined and it was really amazing. probably one of my favorite performances that night. let me just repeat, SUPER JUNIOR IS AMAZING LIVE. and they dance so good. for 10 to 12 people to be on stage at one time, they were perfectly synced and didn't bump one another. they all knew where they were supposed to be all the time.

after that was DON'T DON. which was also awesome cause it was like remixed and about three quarter through the performance, a band consisting of heechul on the drums, henry on the guitar and zhou mi singing appeared and finished it with a bang.

then came one of everyone's favourite song; NO OTHER. i just fell in love all over again. and during this song, kyu came to my side. AGAIN. and followed by ryewook and then yesung. and towards the end of this song donghae came and we were all going crazy as usual and then, he sat down, OMGASDFGHJKL:"XCVBNM. like really sat down with his legs hanging and he winked and pointed to the fans and i felt so loved. XD

after no other was CONFESSIONS. which was a slow song and it showed their vocal talents. i can assure you that all the members CAN SING! especially kyu, ryewook and yesung. they sound so good live.

the next song was GOOD PERSON followed by ROKKUGO. Eunhyuk and Leetuk went a little crazy here. they were just goofing around having fun. :DD

after this were the solo performances. i was blown away by the boys and the fans. the boys of course because they had amazing vocals. especially ryewook, kyuhyun and yesung.
during rye wook's solo, there was an entire section at the stadium that had yellow lightsticks on. which was so amazing.

and then during kyu's solo, the entire front section of the stadium had green lighstcks on and it spelled out something and also shaped as a heart. SUJU fans are sugoiiiiiiiiii O.O


well, i must say that i fellin love with ye sung during his solo. when he sang IT HAS TO BE YOU, i melted into a puddle of goo. his voice is like an angel. really. and i fell madly in love. ovver and over and over again. i have to admit that he's probably my bias now. XD


and then, HEE CHUL came out as LADY GAGA. or should i say, LADY HEE HEE and performed pokerface. the crowd went crazy of course. and i swear he has really nice, girlish legs. i'm actually jealous. then a few minutes later, shindong came out as beyonce with eunhyuk and donghae and they performed SINGLE LADIES. it was craaaazyyyyyyy. in a good way of course. totally. :D

and of course during BONOMANA, all hell broke loose. they were all so hot in black outfits. especially lee teuk. and he came over to my side a few times. si won was just wearing a vest as a top and nothing else. so hell yeah, eye candy baby. *shameless*

SHAKE IT UP and U was pretty awesome too. i was amazed at myself that i memorized the songs. i'm actually more of a fan than i take credit for. heh.

they ended the concert with WONDERBOYS but then came out for an encore! they were in vegetable costumes. i swear, ryewook was the cutest tomato ever. in a really not-creepy way XD

i know that this post might be more interesting if i had a lot of pictures but i didn't really take a lot cause i wanted to really focus on the performances. i do have some good ones though and i'll be glad to upload them soon. when my internet isn't so cranky. pfft.


you can find the entire set list here cause i didn't exactly list out every song. and yess, i am more in love with SUPER JUNIOR more than i have ever been in my life. so yeah. that pretty much sums it up. btw, did i mention that kyu wore a striped cardigan for one of the songs. and yes, he looked too good to be true.

#6 MISSION: CONCLUSION

i think i was lucky to be at my pit which happened to be the side that kyuhyun was mostly at. and ryewook of course which caused me to fall for him even more. and did i mention that eunhyuk and donghae literally sat infront of me. and they were like just a few feets away from my grasp. siwon's abs were *ehem ehem* better than how it looks in pictures. yesung had a voice of an angel. sungmin had a really racy solo(whut?!). i finally understand why people go crazy for heechul. leeteuk leader looks really good in the bonomana outfit especially. shindong was just really high. zhoumi is cute but he's so skinny. especially when he's next to othe buff suju members. henry is a cutie and i really liked his baby performance. he had to embrace his canadian side right? :)


#7 MISSION: BLOG A REPORT

yess. i finally did it. whew. i hope you guys enjoyed reading as much as i enjoyed typing this out. hopefully the pictures will be up tomorrow. annyeong :D

TWLOHA

 

TWLOHA stand for To Write Love on Her Arms is a non-profit movement that is dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery.

~taken from their youtube page. click here.

the first time i came across TWLOHA was when one of their tweets was featured on Twitter's main page. i was not to say in a bad place, but more of in a bad time then. i had a lot of stress in school and at home with family and friends. i was starting to get scared and nervous about my exams and other stuff and i started to feel like i was the only one facing those problems cause from my eyes, everybody else seemed fine. the tweet that caught my eye was;

“Courage is like a muscle. We strengthen it with use.” – Ruth Gordon


i read it again and again and could really relate myself to it. and ever since, TWLOHA has really been there to help me go through a tough time, to understand people better, to inspire and also to make me feel like there are worst things that can happen.

what these people do are beautiful. they remind people like me, people like us, to be glad about what we have and not what we don't. i have been following their activities and are so amazed at the number of people that they have helped just by giving them something to think about. that love is a movement. that we should be glad we're alive.

up until this day, i find myself going to their website to read about the people they have helped, the lives they have changed and the hearts they have touched.

i'm just a student that can't donate much money but i know with the internet, i'm able to follow their activities and really give my 100% support. and that might not seem like much but i'm sure that its a start and i hope that someday, i'll be able to inspire people the same way. :)

so, here's to love, life and everything else that comes with it.

UPDATES

UPDATES

yesss. its true. i'm the laziest person to update her own blog. even with all the free time, i find myself giving ridiculous excuses for not blogging. sorry. o.o

anywayyss.

a lot has happened.
uhhh. not that much actually. haha. i finally started my driving lessons which is of course a.w.e.s.o.m.e :D i really didn't expect driving to be so...exciting? haha. my instructor was nice. strict, but nice. well, he laughed at me most of the time. that's better than being mad right?

i'm going to Singapore soon. and i'm gonna watch Super Junior's SUPER SHOW 3 there.mosh pit tickets baby. haha. yeaa, be jealoous biatches.

and hopefully next month i'm gonna get myself a job at my local clinic. as an assistant hopefully. and i'm gonna do some volunteer work at the hospital. really looking forward to that. :)

i have also decided that i'll take things one step at a time. although i envy a little (A LOT) of my friends and ehem ehem cousin who are already in college. i just remind myself that i have my own reasons to wait and that i should just be really happy for them. so, while i'm waiting, i'm really enjoying myself spending time with my family. it seems that last year, i cared more than my examinations than my sick grandmother. how sad was that girl right?

i'm planning to start my japanese class and violin class but i think i will do that in february too. cause i have spent a hell lot of money this month and i want to give my mom a break. so yeahh. i might not know where i'm sailling too. but at least i'm sailing smoothly. for now. C:

ohh. and i think i really really want to go for Justin Bieber's concert. i'm not THAT much of a fangirl but i think he's worth it to check out live. takers? :D

TO WORK OR NOT TO WORK, THAT IS THE QUESTION;

i have been such a lazy bum these past few days. i wake up pretty late. and then attempt to exercise before deciding to take a break which ends up to be 2 hours crapping on the computer. after that i eat and then probably watch some tv and yeahh, story of my life.

although i do have a lot of plans in mind, i haven't really succeeded in doing most of them.

for example, my driving licence, would you believe that i have not yet registered? i know, moronic right?

and then the whole baking course thing, i have no one to take me to the place where i'm supposed to embrace my baking side.

and gym. my mo has no time to take me to the gym.

yaaaaaaaaa. its getting really annoying. >;(

anyways. today, i went to The Store to buy bread and nutella, i ran into Farhaqqi* again. this has got to be at least my 4th time in two weeks and i'm starting to think that he might get the wrong idea. i just always have things to buy and The Store is really really practical for me. back to the story, ok so, ran into isn't probably the word i should use. its more like i lined up at the cashier where he was working. i swear it was because it was the shortest line and not because i'm interested in him whatsoever. (defensive much?) XD

conversations starts;

me; heyy
farhaqqi; kau ni, asyik beli barang je. bila nak kerjanya?
me; WOIIIII. 

haha. sabar je kan. suka hati je kutuk orang. its not that i don;t want to work, its just that my mom thinks that i won;t have time for my driving lessons and all the other stuff i want to do. but after hearing how much he was paid, i think my mom just may have changed her mind. haha. so, before you know it, you might just be seing me in The Store at the cashier counter next to farhaqqi, counting change. ;D

NEW YEAR.NEW DECADE. <3


so, i was conveniently in Singapore for the new year and it was really a huge experience for me as it was my first timein the country. being a malaysian who happens to really love her country very much, i have always wondered what the fuss was about. don't get me wrong, i really just didn't have a clue on how a country so small could be so influential to the world.

staying there for 3 days was sort of an eye-opening experience i suppose. i have come to realize that Singapore is a country that knows no limits irregardless of their size and that is something i'm definitely very impressed with. they're always trying to do everything and be everything. there was a time where i thought that i didn't think they should have because of their concentrated population but now i understand that because of the fact that there's so many people in Singapore, they have to always move forward and be better.

walking around Orchard Road, i saw a lot of people. of different races and religions. its almost the same scene here in Bukit Bintang, Malaysia except for the fact that i think people in Singapore are always moving faster. Abang Arif asked me if i would consider studying here in singapore. and i really gave it a serious thought and i resulted in saying that i would. consider. you see, the thing in Singapore is that its so modern and forward and that is not always a good thing.

i can see myself there as a young student, but not when i'm old. so, yeah, that's a part of my opinion. and only after 3 days and not much exploring, i'm already quite impressed. i'm probably gonna be heading there again later this month as i'm just so curious to see the universal studios in sentosa island that i missed during this new year trip.

anyways, i did take a long walk on new years eve from my very nice hotel to the marina bay sands to watch the fireworks. and it was incredible although i wasn't actually suprised. i mean, it was expected for it to be incredible right? kudos to Singapore's police who really managed to control the crowd. i couldn't imagine if it was malaysia, no offence. the vibrant and colourful fireworks were just amazing and i didn;t even have the best view. seriously.

so yeahhh, that's my singapore experience. and i think, the best is yet to come. :)



ps. no haters please. i's really just MY opinion and should you have a different one, stick to it. i just know so much.

procastination

so yeahhh, i have absolute dignified reasons on why i haven't been updating.

ichi; SPHREAKINGM; of course its over now but it definitely took a lot of my time last year.

ni; the ambitious thought of having a new blog with a really cool layout.

san; traveling A LOT after i was done with my exams. (i shall eleborate later)

yon; the computer was just being really annoying.

go; deciding that i didn't want a new blog but still wanted a new layout. yeahhh, it didn't go well.

so, here i am, blogging FINALLY. at my not-exactly-old-just-abandoned blog and i'm just not gonna change it for the time being. i have come tot he conclusion that html codes and i are not exactly good friends. i decided to forgo the whole new look thing because its taking tooooo much of my time and energy and the results are blegghh. and i have just so much to tell and to blog about now that i'm done with SPM.

did you realize? there was a lot of liquid sunshine this week :)
