Christmas Busking + Christmas Gatherings :D

HELLO FRIENDS I'M BACKK. Feeling a little disorientated cause i went through a lot of trouble to create this blog post :( It got me quite frustrated and upset but i'm just gonna put it aside!! Hehe this blog post does not deserve to suffer because of me. So yeap i'll try my best not to be too lazy with it cause i'm cramming 4 days into one blog post and usually i'll be quite brief and all. Haha but it might seem a little brief lah cause i didn't take take many pictures! But i'll try my best :D SO HERE GOES.

Christmas Busking DAY 1

Yay busking!! I was v v excited hehe. I can't believe how much i've grown to love Samba music and performing samba songs!! It's a whole new type of excitement and fun! Hehe so yeap i reported at 10.45am and we had to get make-up, face paint and hair done! I already put on foundation and lipstick so for make-up all i needed was to put on eyeliner.

SELFIES WITH NIC! After we got our face paint done hehe


YAYY REALLY LOVE MY FACE PAINT. GOT TO THANK YI CHEEN FOR IT. She has real skills!! Hehe i like how she drew it so big and clear :)

Pic with my BGS group mate Yixin!!

So at 12pm we had rehearsal/warm-up and i was already sweating a lot?! Omg i so wasn't looking forward to perspiring after performing in the open haha. But i was still determined to give it my all :D

Hehe so we made our way to NEX!! Contacted Andy and my fam just to check where they were haha. Here's another selfie haha last one from the day promise. Not used to wearing face paint + Christmas headgear and all hehe so yeah got a bit carried away.

At 2pm the seniors performed first!! They were so good omg hehe can't wait to learn all their songs :D

NICEE




So they performed for about 20 mins and afterwards i went to look for Andy, Joy and Wei Lin!! :) They were having lunch at Hot Tomato! Hehe so at around 2.45 we made our way to the performance place tgt :)

SELFIE WITH JOY

Hehe credits to my mom!! Haha erm only posting one pic was we all know how unglam i can look in candid shots LOL. So we played Reggae and Funk for this set!! :) I was honestly so afraid that Reggae would bore everyone but no one really said that it was boring haha. So yeap i'm thankful :) Haha omg during funk we sped up like crazy?! I COULDN'T KEEP UP. HAHA think we all got too excited!!

Anyway feel free to go to this link to check out full performances from that day!! :D

Yay quickly took pics with everyone after the set!! First performance omg it was kinda nerve-wrecking but really awesome.

It was awhile since i last saw Wei Lin so yay so glad she could make it!! :)

AND HERE'S THE BFF. Hahaha lol couldn't decide which pic to post so just posting two :P


Thank you guys for coming <3

And pic with my mom!! :) Really thankful for having such a supportive mom who even wanted to go down to Tampines Mall to watch me perform the EXACT SAME THING. Haha i told her not to lah. So in the end she and my siblings went for the NEX and Ngee Ann performances :)

My siblings rushed off to go eat hahaha so i couldn't take a pic with them at first?! LOLOL. Hehe Andy and i came here to find them before my last set at 4pm :)

YAY took a pic afterwards

Played Barra at 4!! Hehe so happy Andy stayed to watch :) He wanted to leave at first :( But i think he's happy he stayed?? Hahaha LOL.


My dad had a meeting at 3pm so he only came at 4+ AFTER we played barra!! :/ Haha felt so bad but he was still so happy to be there and he decided to go to Ngee Ann at 7 to watch me proper :D

SELFIE WITH MUMMY

Hehe so Andy and my family went off!

GROUP PIC WITH THE SAMBISTAS :D Looking so fresh here haha but i was actually really tired by then!!

SOO from NEX the coach took us to Ngee Ann!! Settled down and waited for 7pm! Hehe had dinner at a Thai restaurant with my section :) Then we got back just in time for the 7pm show! We were kind of last min hahaha. Hehe my cousins came to watch this set!! Omg they had a night flight later that day?! SO NICE THAT THEY STILL CAME :')

MIN AND I :)

My aunt took this for me!! Lol my second cousin used his phone to create a 'banner' saying "Froggerphia"?! -.- THAT'S WHAT HE CALLS ME. LOLOL. Hahaha i almost burst out laughing during the song.

HEHE YAYY.

So at 7+ the seniors took over and suddenly i saw my dad?! HAHAHA he missed my performance again!! Omg lol i felt so bad and he was so shocked that he missed it a second time but thank goodness there was another show at 9pm so he stayed again for it! AWW genuinely so touched that my dad really wanted to watch me perform :) Haha i'm so emotional LOL but ya support from my friends and family means a lot to me i guess. Hehe so after the seniors performed i went to accompany my dad cause he was just sitting somewhere by himself and eating haha. THEN AT 9PM HE WATCHED ME :D Guess what Pearl watched me too!! She was supposed to have dinner with her family but yeah she just took 15 mins off to catch my performance with Noah :)

Dad took a pic of me during one of our embarrassing poses haha

YAY MUCH LOVES FOR MY DAD. He even drove down to sch to pick me up afterwards!!

And for the bimbo friend here hahaha. She wanted us to both hold the bell in one pic?! Damn retarded HAHA. But yay so glad she came down to watch me!! :) I'm being quite repetitive here haha but i really appreciate everyone's support :D

SOO I WAS COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED BY THE END OF THE DAY. Haha while the seniors performed we danced along with them so that drained a lot of my energy too lol but no regrets!! I love showing support for the seniors :D Omg you have no idea how sweaty and gross i was lol. I think there were several times when sweat went into my eyes during a performance?! UGH IT WAS SO PAINFUL. Haha but i guess it shows that i really put in effort? And i really loved the whole experience! Haha when i tried to sleep that night i could still hear samba music playing in my head but thank God that i could sleep :) Hehe once again so overwhelmed by His blessings and love for me! He really sustained me throughout the two days :)

Christmas Busking DAY 2

YAY CONTINUING. So I was damn tired after day 1 i didn't feel like going back to sch for round 2 HAHAHA. But obviously we had to!! But reporting time for bells was 10.45am for day 2 :) Soo i met Andy for breakfast before reporting!! YAY as usual we ate at toastbox hehehe. Then he walked me to sch :) We were sad cause we didn't get to spend a lot of time tgt that weekend! But i guess it's alright haha.

Clingy selfie before parting. Then we went to cut his hair and meet his jc classmates!!

Face paint for day 2!! It's an inverted santa hat!! CAN YOU TELL. I love it it's so cute hehe. My bondue friends said it looks like a watermelon :( Haha oh well. 

SELFIES AGAIN. This was after she helped me put on eyeliner haha and while the seniors were rehearsing!!

Sooo we made our way to Tampines Mall!! I wasn't expecting anyone to watch me haha somehow that made me feel more relaxed :P And i suddenly bumped into Remus?! We performed at 2pm and he was gonna watch at movie at 1.45pm LOLOL. So in the end he came back to watch my 4pm show!! He couldn't watch me at ngee ann with the rest cause he had to attend his friend's 21st bday party. So YAY it's good that he got to watch me at Tampines!

After Barra!!

Hehe the day passed pretty quickly v soon it was time to head to Ngee Ann again! YAYY Rachella could watch me!! Haven't seen her in quite awhile hehe. She watched the 7pm show! Before that my section just tabao-ed our own food haha. I ended up eating ToriQ hehe.

Hehe after Reggae and Funk!! So glad she enjoyed the performances :) She was with her parents and her mom was like dancing along with us hehe so nice!! That's how it should be but Sg crowds are too boring haha oh well.

Can't quite recall what we did till 9pm but i think i just went to buy a drink and accompanied some of my section members to buy food. Then i noticed a few missed calls from Hj so i called him back and he said they were all at Ngee Ann alr! YAY so i met them and at 8.45 or so we went up to the fountain area tgt right before my LAST PERFORMANCE. SO EXCITING. And we played Funk and Barra tgt hehe the two more happening songs!!

Short 10 sec vid from one of TY's snaps!! He said i looked the happiest LOLOL i didn't know that?! Haha he said for most people their face looks happy but for me my whole body looks happy LOL. I guess i should take it as a sort of compliment :P 

Hehe KEYUN CAME TOO!! :) Yayy i totally didn't expect her to come so it was really a v pleasant surprise!! Andy told her to buy water for me haha SO SHE DID and she gave me chocolate too :')  Hehe looking forward to meeting her tmr!! (if i publish this by tonight LOL)

Hehe then i met my bondue friends!! SO NICE TO SEE ALL OF THEM THERE :) I only have the individual pic with Ode haha the rest are in Hj's phone and he has yet to send them over?! Gonna pester him for it some other time haha.

And group pic :) Stayed here with them for awhile longer then i went to join my fellow section mates!! Really love side-stepping and dancing while the seniors play HAHA.

AND THAT'S A WRAP!! They played their last song so we celebrated and started packing up haha. Hehe here's another section photo :) Truly had such an unforgettable experience!! I still feel like i'm not that close to the bellies but i'm hoping that we'll grow closer in due time haha. For now i just really enjoyed the performance itself i think?? LOL HAHA. And i was just really touched by the support from my friends and family :D I remember i was telling Meita that they're lucky they watched the 9pm set cause we played the two good songs but she was like "We dc what song ya'll play we just came to see your face and support you" hahaha SMTH ALONG THOSE LINES. SO CUTE. 

YEAP SO THAT'S ALL :) Went back to school and my mom picked me up from there!! :) HEHE LOOKING FORWARD TO PRODUCTION NOW :D

28th December

[Hi to whoever is reading this i will continue with this post tmr :)] Continuing!! HEHE SO ON THE 28TH WE GOT REUNITED WITH RACHELLA <3 As in the 3 of us haha cause i saw her the prev night :P YAYY it was a really good catch-up session!! It's funny cause when she first left to study in America i was really worried about her changing and stuff and maybe we won't have so much to talk about/we don't understand one another etc. But i realised that despite the fact that she did change to some extent it doesn't really matter because we still understand one another and i still really enjoy our conversations :) Hehe we still have meaningful but fun talks :D And i finally got to see Chow again!! Need to meet her 1-1 soon haha she got new friends alr she's forgetting about me :( Hahaha.

SOOO we talked for really long at IKEA and when it was about time for Chow and I to go off we went to grab ice-cream!! :D

CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THEIR AMAZING 50-CENT ICE-CREAM


Hehe so we left cause Chow and I had plans! Took more pics before parting :)

THIS PIC IS SO FUNNY CAUSE OF THE GUY BEHIND

So we took another one hahaha

OUR CLASSIC SELFIES HEHE

Yay can't wait to meet them again!! :) We're hoping to meet next week i hope it happens omg cause by then school would've started :(

Hehe soooo i went home to change and all then i went to Serangoon to meet the bondue peeps for Christmas gathering!! SO FUN. I WAS ODE'S SECRET SANTA. Hehe got her a lip and cheek velvet stick haha the colour is really pretty so i hope she'll use it :)

MT AND HJ BAKED A LOG CAKE AWW

At first it was just Mt, Hj, Toly and I haha so we just chilled while waiting for the rest to come. Ty was gonna be late and Toly had to rush off so once Ode and Remus came we exchanged gifts!!



I GOT A PLANNER FROM HJ!! IT'S REALLY NICE HEHE. Haha Remus was Mt's secret santa and Ode was Hj's so they got them a matching Santa outfits!! SO CUTEEE.

And group pic before Toly left!! :)

Then we went up to Hj's study room and awhile later Ty joined us!! We were just playing taidi and jamming at first haha. Then Meita asked if someone bought beer and i was like "noooo :(" INSIDE haha. SOO they went to get beer while Hj, Ty and i played taidi haha. It was v fun although Hj kept winning us :P

LOOK AT HIM HE'S DAMN RED. The couples went to Adventure Cove before this so they got sun burnt haha.

SOOO THE DRINKING BEGAN. Played this new game which required poker cards haha. Basically there's a pyramid and we uncover the cards row by row. If you have the same number as the cards revealed you can put it down and arrow someone to drink. I got arrowed quite a lot :( Cause everyone knows i hate drinking haha. But Ty got targeted the most at the end cause he was leaving early HAHAHA. It was damn funny :P Lol even though i probably drank the least i still felt damn shitty :P Really can't take alcohol man. Haha but i had fun!!



LEGIT HAHAHA

We met pretty early so for once we could go home before midnight!! YAYYY. Left just in time to avoid the midnight surcharge woohoo. AND I GOT HOME REALLY QUICKLY :D Hehe so that's that! Always a good time with them :)

29th December

Yay i chilled at home for the whole day before meeting the Inspirar peeps for another Christmas gathering!! Hehe we played Secret Santa too :) And the plan was to surprise Min Hui cause her bday was on 30th Dec but she decided to back out 30 mins before the meet-up time?! LOLOL. WE PANICKED. HAHAHA. In the end we came up with a new plan and went to her house to surprise her!! :D

Had dinner before that at a Jap place!! Then after much effort we got her address and made our way to her house for DA SURPRISE :) She stays at Seng Kang so we weren't too far away! Thank goodness both Daniel and Joel drove so it was just enough for all of us to travel by car haha.

Hehehe so we gave her a couple of minutes to get ready then waited for her right below her unit!! Carried out our secret santa exchange at the playground haha. Julia was my secret santa!! And i was yueh pin's secret santa haha. The budget was $10 but it was nice to see everyone still put thought into the buying the presents :)

Then we went somewhere really nearby for dessert! Min Hui brought us to a tau huay shop haha.


Sat here for awhile and talked about random stuff haha. I really like how we're all so comfortable with one another :) Soo at 11+ Joel drove some of us to YCK mrt station! Omg i missed the train LOL. Like the train didn't go to Newton so i just ended up cabbing home :P TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW :O But i missed the midnight surcharge again hehehe NICEE. So it didn't cost a lot :)

YEAP THAT'S ALL FOR NOWW. I admit i got lazy towards the end haha. Really not much time to blog cause i've been busy almost everyday and sch is starting this Monday?! NOOO :( AH WELL. BTW HAPPY 2016 EVERYONEE :) Can't wait to make new changes to my life for the better haha. I hope i actually fulfill what i want to achieve. Hehe shall go now. I'll try my best to blog again soon YAY.
