A picture I took at Clarke Quay yesterday. And yes I did not use any filter. :-)

How are you? I hope you're doing fine wherever you are and I hope life and Mother Nature are being nice to you (haha goodness flipping gracious what a cheesy start! But I meant it) 

Yes, I changed my link and layout because I felt like I needed too. The word retro in my link came from the word retrospection. It was too long so I didn't actually put it. And plox actually means please in slang-language. It doesn't really mean anything but I thought it was quite cool (don't judge me) so... And enjoy my amateur iPhone photography. Cheers! 

And so let's continue with this post, shall we? This blog post is brought to you by the following sponsors: 

Exhaustion,

                                               and the loveliness

So I finally got around to posting on my blog. Mind me, I have been utterly busy. My weeks are filled with revisions. In addition, the school's traditional I-give-you-truckloads-of-papers-and-you-do-it-yourself has officially began.

Well, I'd have to say that last Monday, I broke the stereotype of unwelcome Mondays. I had a relatively good day. After school, nearly the whole secondary five students rushed down to Downtown East to book tickets for The Conjuring. It really felt as though we were in Amazing Race because everyone literally ran. Haha! And what can I say? It was totally worth it! Sadly we got the front seats but we still managed to get to watch it. The movie? It was really good and scary too. I felt like a proper sissy because I closed my eyes for like half of the film. But I really think it was a good and scary movie and everyone should watch it! I would talk about it more but I wouldn't want to spoil it.

On a side note, EID MUBARAK!!

Ramadhan has once again came and left and the days had slipped through my fingertips like the river's warm waters. This year's Ramadhan flew past quickly and I find it quite scary tbh. But nevertheless, it was a lovely month indeed. Endless prayers for one another, savouring scrumptious meals with your loved ones and feeling serene. We'll meet again, in sha Allah.

The day which had struck me most in Ramadhan was the 28th day; because that was the day for the last terawih prayers. On the last ten days, the imam would recite doa qunut and on the last terawih prayer when he did so, I felt emotional and I have no idea why. As he read, I suddenly thought about the bad things that I've done, the lies I've told, the grudges that I've ever harboured on anyone and I felt downright awful. I tried to control my tears but needless to say, I failed miserably. Tears just started trickling down my cheeks and the heart-wrenching feeling started dominating my whole body and mind. But no worries, I feel better now, after praying. Praying can do wonders, believe me. 

SO what better way to end of Ramadhan than to pay a visit to the Geylang Bazaar? It was very packed and bustling indeed. There was once I even got stuck between two people like a sandwich and all I can say is that IT WASN'T THE BEST EXPERIENCE. But on the bright side, it was rather lovely too because as I walk and roam around the bazaar, I could hear jovial convos and raya music blasting and it was just really radiating happy vibes. I also got the coconut ice cream with my sister. After buying, I found out that they actually rose the price from $3 to $5 um- BUT NEEDLESS TO SAY, it was nice and I think that it was a really worth it! Though I still genuinely feel that the price is rather absurd...

#funfactone I absolutely hate it when the 3G and wifi connection is slow. It just makes me want to punch the telecom service and demand a refund. 

#funfacttwo I love literature. I genuinely feel that literature is a beautiful subject. And I love it because it's very intriguing and fascinating. A teacher had once told me, "literature is the study of life" I didn't get it at first, but now I do. The things we study about, are usually about human behaviour and things like that which has happened, is happening and will be happening in the future. It usually (or should I say mostly) starts as fiction but end up as a fact. There are so many learning points that you can gain from this subject. And it really amazes me how people have such an amazing talent to put their thoughts into words.

I love literature too because it was the subject that made me realise that there's more to life than just listening to your teachers' lectures in class. I am more than grateful to be able to go to New York last year.

 When I was in Massachusetts, I wrote a poem about the weather when sitting on the streets and when I did, it also made me ponder about people and most importantly, on the aspect of change. Just like the seasons, people change as well. It may turn out pretty and it may not and sometimes, it may inevitable. I genuinely think that schools should organise more overseas trips because it's more hands-on and I really think it's effective in making us learn as we get to experience it first-hand. In short, it broadens our horizons better.

My feelings towards the school, on the other hand is actually rather hard to comprehend. Sometimes, I feel excited to leave the school, and sometimes not. It's bittersweet, really. Like sometimes, I hate it and sometimes I like it. Hmm. How's that for bloody irony.

Last night, I felt like a complete professional fangirl. I had went to Playhouse Club at Clarke Quay last night to see BEFORE YOU EXIT! Amazing, astonishing, lovely, flawless and not forgetting jaw-dropping. It was a really amazing gig. I've been dying to see them since last year. Extremely gutted because I didn't get a photo with them :-( BUT ON THE BRIGHT SIDE I GOT TO HUG RILEY AND TOBY. It was the loveliest hug ever my goodness and they smelled so good and AAHHHHH THEY ARE P E R F E C T. 

I still can't accept the fact that I hugged them

And I'm truly gobsmacked by how these blokes were able to put up such an amazing show despite the fact that they just arrived in Singapore at 1AM and trust me, jet lag is a bitch. Especially when you're coming from somewhere as far as the States to Singapore which is like from one end of the world to another. I remember when I got back from the States all I felt like doing was sleeping.

The place, as I've said earlier was at Playhouse. It looked so posh and pretty. As I was saying, I got a hug from Toby and Riley!! And it was simply amazing because their hugs were proper l u s h. Their body was perfect and I don't know man. It was irrevocably perfect. I fell in love with them even before the radio stations started playing them -just like One Direction- and I just feel like hugging them and listening to them all day! I knew them last year after watching their cover of "what's make you beautiful" and from there, I became utterly smitten.
Their first single.

And I really hope they'll come back to Singapore again one day! They tweeted lovely things too not like ehemz

This is literally me every single day. I'm telling you, Riley Thomas McDonough, it's fated. (But I'm contented with my iPhone ok I love you)

I am still in love with Jack ok Jack is still mine. Tom Daley too. ~bell ringing~

On another note, 1D WORLD IS COMING TO SINGAPORE!! And their movie's coming out too. I'm genuinely stoked and excited beyond words. I've been waiting too long for this! I got my 1D shirt from Perth's a year ago and I feel like getting another one /hehehe/ 

I'm actually contemplating on whether or not I should get Tyler Oakley's "Professional Fangirl" shirt. It's really tempting. And also, this is very random but I'd like to show you guys my favourite tab in my iPhone. 

Sorry if this post bored you as fangirling posts may not really your cup of tea. I'll post something interesting if I can. 

But thank you for reading. Hope you'll have lovely day ahead. God bless and much love xxxx
