My weekend

This weekend was actually one of the most unforgettable weekend I have ever had. Our last paper ended on Thursday and the following day was Prefects' Camp! Frankly speaking, I was legit not excited for camp at all. Why? Well, basically this year was a tad bit different. The prefectorial board decided to make a few changes, and that was to cancel the normal tradition of prefects' camp. The prefects usually went for jungle trekking, hiking, or even caving during every single camp for many years. However, the whole system changed and they invited guest speakers to conduct the entire camp. I was definitely annoyed when I heard about the change.. I mean, who wouldn't like going all scaredy-cat during jungle trekking at night, or even catching the beautiful and magnificent sunset during our hike?

However,  I must say, throughout this whole camp, I was absolutely wrong. I actually learnt something! The speakers were terrific and they emphasised on leadership A LOT. Something that all the prefects desperately needed. I wouldn't go on explaining what did I learn but let me just say this, all the prefects got the passion lit up once again :) I also throughly enjoyed the bond the seniors had with one another. These are the people I hang out with during break and lunch every single day. I'm not saying all of them are like my super close friends, but they're just really fun people to be around with and that's all that matters, right? :)

 My very crazy roommates that I surprisingly enjoy going all retarded with??!!


Although this camp was a whole lot different compared to the previous camps I have attended, I definitely enjoyed this camp as well! My final camp ended on a good note :)

Came back after 3 days to my home sweet home. I was so happy to see my fam bam! Being separated from them felt like forever!! I decided to relax for awhile and start on my best friend's birthday card! His birthday is on Tuesday and I had to do it today in order to give it to him tmr since our holidays are starting on Tuesday. So here's the card I made! This is actually my very first time doing all these kind of artsy stuffs. I mean, I normally make cards and all for my friends but this is actually the first time I'm doing a doodle! 


See you around! :)

The First!

Mid terms are officially over. However, I can't say that my studying routine would end now too.. SPM is just around the corner and I'm freaking out!! :( Don't even mention about SPM, our trials are basically in less than 4 months! That means we only have 3 months of mastering our form 4 and form 5 work. That is one heck of a heavy workload?! Pull yourself together, Char. You can do this!

My goal for the upcoming trials is getting straight A+! Why so? Well, basically my grandma promised to take me along with her on a London and Paris trip!! You should have seen my reaction when she told me that... First of all, I am eternally grateful (even though I have not even achieved my goal hehe) that I am being given this AMAZING opportunity. My parents have always been telling me that if I would want to travel around the world, I have to work my butt off in the future in order to pay for my own trips and all.. So basically this was like a big surprise considering the fact that I've never travelled to these kind of places.. The only countries I've been to are Thailand, Singapore and Hong Kong. Mind me, I'm not saying that I'm not grateful for visiting these countries. All I'm trying to say is that when I visited those places, I was really really young and I could not remember a single thing I did there (well except for Ocean Park in HK)! So to me, if I was given the chance to travel around London and Paris which is actually my dream ever since I was a young girl, you have no idea how much I would treasure this trip!!

All I can say now is that I should start working my butt off for trials! Time shall not be wasted :)


So beautiful.

Anywayssss, last weekend, I was given an amazing opportunity to catch the special screening of The Fault In Our Stars, or in short, #FIOS. Hahaha. I have been a fan of this book ever since last year? I can't really remember. Anyhoo, I won the contest hosted by Churp Churp through Jane Chuck! Basically, she posted a short video of Ed Sheeran's music video on Instagram and we were asked to comment what was our most favourite romantic quote/scenes/places. I was like, "MAN I NEED TO WIN THIS SPECIAL SCREENING I CAN'T POSSIBLY WAIT FOR THE SCREENING IN SEPTEMBER I HAVE TRIALS AND MY PARENTS WOUD OBVIOUSLY NOT LET ME STEP OUT OF THE HOUSE TO WATCH A MOVIE GAHHHH". So, I decided to give it a try and commented my favourite place and quote! We were told to leave our email in the comments as well so it would be easier for her to contact those who she has picked!!

And guess what?! I GOT AN EMAIL FROM JANE CHUCK! The possibilities of me winning the contest was so low but I was indeed estatic to have received that email from her!!!! I was screaming so loud and decided to call my best friends.... Sadly, none of them picked up :/ I had no idea who to bring for the screening since it was a pair thing.. I knew one of my CG mates, Caitlyn was a big fan of FIOS so I decided to bring her along!!

The movie was soooo beautiful. All I can say is that Shailene and Ansel's relationship was an A plus. The bond they had together was so real and different compared to all the other movies. Caitlyn and I were crying so much! Yes, we are very emotional people :3

I really wouldn't mind watching FIOS for another 2321939598 times because it was like the best movie I have ever watched, hands down.


See you around! :)
