An update on life! (Image and Content heavy)
In the span of 1 year since I have last blogged, I decided, why not show you what I've been up to whilst I was away for such a long time? In reality, I have not done much (As expected), but I did get up to some exciting things while I was away!
Time really flies by quick. I remember the days where I used to blog every single day and then somehow last year I just neglected it. You know, there were times where I was like "Maybe I should start blogging again" but then I always end up changing plans due to studying or just plain forgetting. But I swear, and I promise! That I will try to blog as frequently as possible. Maybe now its better as well, because not many people know that I've started up blogging again, I can start to make this a bit more about myself and my feelings.
So anyway, enough with the talking! I'm sure I'm boring you.
In the span of 1 year since I have last blogged, this is what I've gotten up to:
I taught my little baby cousin how to pose like me in front of the camera. I sort of regret doing this because now, she demands a photo to be taken of her and she always does peace signs and stuff in front of the camera.
I dressed up as Snow White for Annie's birthday party. This was, I swear, the only good picture I have found. The rest were of me being really high and sweaty from dancing haha.
Performed for the very last time *tear*. So yeah, this was my last performance as a dancer. But I have some news! And that major update is that 1 week ago I thought to myself "Yeah why not start dancing again!" So I will start dancing again (If the times and stuff is all good) and enter competitions! Yay!
I had my Year 10 formal! My mum took this picture while she was at school. She was so proud that her daughter had gotten to go to her first formal. I was actually going to miss my formal to go overseas, but literally begged my parents to postpone it because I wanted to attend my formal. LOL. You see how mature and elegant I was acting when my mum was around? When she's not around though....
Yeah you get the story.
Juhee threw an amazing sweet 16th Party! It was themed as "Beauty and Geek" I went as a a Geek and Zane went as a beauty (Ew). The party was so fun! I really enjoyed it.
I went overseas yo! I went to Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore and Vietnam. It was a long plane trip but thank god we flew Cathay Pacific because their selection of entertainment was amazing. It was our first family trip overseas. I had flown many times to Vietnam, but my brothers haven't went overseas yet! It was fun!!
First stop was Hong Kong! This was taken when we were going on the Peak Tram to go up and see the wax museum. Hong Kong was literally so fun. I wish I had taken more pictures to show people how beautiful Hong Kong is. This was about 5 days into going to Hong Kong. I did not sleep when I went there. Our Hotel was basically used for just sleeping. Everyday, we were catching the subway and going to shop and eat and eat and shop and meeting people and acting like foreigners. It was amazing! I can't not express how fun Hong Kong was.
Wax Museum in Hong Kong. I kissed Barack Obama! It was really fun going to the Wax Museum. They all looked so similar to the real stars!
Second destination was Macau! Did I also tell you I developed a new pose for photo taking? I call it my 'fish face'. We travelled to Macau on boat (Since its an Island). Macau wasn't really fun to me because it was mostly Casinos. My brothers, cousin and I just went out for food and stayed at our hotel most of the time.
I took pictures in high-class hotels? This was 4 seasons in Macau. We went to meet up with an Auntie for lunch. I had high-tea twice! The food was so nice. 4 Seasons looked incredible, and it was so amazing. I bought a Juicy Couture necklace at the shoppes.
Went to the Venetian! It was really pretty. It really did remind me of Venice. They even had the river, and the boats that would take you around whilst singing Opera. The singers were so good!! I stopped and listened to their voice (And clapped and made myself embarrassed). My dad also got propositioned by two prostitutes here LOL.
Photobombed everyone. This was a day after we came back from Macau. We were at a big Hong Kong shopping Centre and it was just amazing, like it was HUGE. I went to my first H&M store and bought so many clothes (Since it was cheap there). I also saw a Juicy Couture shop but we couldn't go in because we didn't have enough time! This Shopping Centre had an ice rink at the bottom level! Story of this picture was, my parents wanted to take a picture, but of course Michelle and I wouldn't let them without photobombing!
Married the subway. We took the subway everyday when we went to go to different places to shop and to hang out. The subway is so convenient. Like, it is amazing how the subway works. We bought this octopus card which is kind of like our train tickets, but we input money onto this octopus card first, and we swipe it whenever we go into the ticketing machines, then it lets us in and we take the subway. When we stop at our destination, we swipe the card to let us go out, and it detects how much it costs (Via our destination route) and minus' the money from our card. COOL RIGHT? We took the subway so frequently that we remembered all the stops and the automated voice instructions HAHA.
Visited the TVB sets. If you guys don't know, I grew up watching TVB all my life (Since our family business is centred around TVB). TVB is basically a company which produces cantonese dramas, and I watched so many of those dramas. Visiting the set was like a dream come true! I met some actors that I grew up with and just squealed so much. And also visiting the sets I used to see on TV and saying "OMG I SAW THIS ON TV. OMG I REMEMBER THIS. OMG THIS IS WHERE YOU SHOT THIS SCENE AND THAT SCENE"
Next stop, Singapore. Singapore was. Wow. I cannot put this into words how many feels I have for Singapore. It was. Wow. Hands down I think the best country that I've went to with Hong Kong following closely behind. The people were so nice and helpful. And the architecture and the roads and streets were so clean and full of air and life. And the greenery and the scenery and omg. Just everything about Singapore is pure perfection. This photo was taken at the hotel 'Marina Bay Sands'. YES. The 5 star hotel with the awesome swimming pool at the top. Marina Bay Sands was. Fucking gold.
Casually sipping $5 iced coffee while waiting to be checked in at Marina Bay Sands.
Luvo-ing inside the bathroom of our hotel. The bathroom was HUGE. Like I cannot even express. On the right of the picture, there was the toilet. And on the left was the shower. It was so big (Thats what she said). It could fit 3 normal sized bathrooms in there.
Went shopping at Marina Bay Sands. The hotel legit has its own shopping Centre, thats how big it is. Thompson went and got Vincents Camera, and then took a picture of us on the top floor! Funny story, Michelle and I walked into Chanel in singlet and shorts and we were saying as a joke, "I swear we have money. I swear."
The shopping Centre at Marina Bay Sands. Told you it was huge!
Taking advantage of the balcony pool at Marina Bay Sands. I went in the afternoon to go check it out, and it was so amazing. The length of the pool covered the whole hotel, so it was basically a really long pool overlooking Singapore. It was gorgeous.
Balcony pool at night. We went for a swim during the night and the scenery was just. Well, look for yourself.

Sentosa! After one night of staying at Marina Bay Sands, we went into Sentosa, which is basically an Island in Singapore filled with lots of fun and adventure. It's not exactly cut off from Singapore, because there was a bridge connecting Singapore to Sentosa, and thats how we drove there.
Checked in at Hotel Michael in Sentosa. Excuse the awkward face. A really really traumatising thing when we were checking in was when my grandma decided to go to the bathroom without telling anyone (I always take her to the bathroom whenever I'm with her). When I went to look for her, she wasn't in the bathroom, so I got really worried and started crying and panicking. When I walked out of the bathroom, I saw her walking from a distance and I was so relieved! Turns out she didn't see that there was a bathroom closer, so she went to the bathroom that was further away. She made me so worried!
Boardwalk of our Hotel that connects to other hotels and Universal Studios
Topshop and Topman! I don't think we went in though because we drove past it whilst going out to have dinner with a rich friend of my aunties.
Dinner with my aunties friend at HIS restaurant with his mum. I had the best food ever. The food was so nice. It was amazing.
Chillin.
Aunties friends house. We went to his house after dinner and chilling, and WOW. His house and all the houses around him, are like my dream house. They're the modern houses that you would see in catalogues. It was amazing.
The front of their house + their cars.
