READ THE SIGN HEH

<3

So glad I managed to tour this place, it ain't as lame as everyone makes it out to be! Quite a bit of chinese history and legends in there that I never knew about. So sad how the place is neglected and off the radar now, everyone should definitely go have a look!!!

Lightning has struck!

Watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows on opening day - 14July2011!

Memories of old times come rushing back, of the days in secondary school where we play Harry Potter bingo. Funny how the class had so many of us fans! We played Bingo with Harry Potter character names, spells, animals, plants, ETC. I was the worst fan ever. (Okay fine 3 years later I admit I cheated I couldn't fill up 25 blanks on the bingo sheet so I er repeated certain names..)

Had alot of fun as usual with you guys!! First day screening so we're all probably fans who booked at least one week earlier and been waiting forever for this movie. Audience was perfect! Everybody clapped when Voldemort and Nagina disintegrated and died and growled/moaned when Ginny appears. Rolls eyes. Ginny is a calefare really.

The last movie! Kinda sad. The hollow feeling like I just broke up with Harry Potter (the series not the character I only fangirl Severus Snape, Albus Dumbledore and Fred & George Weasley FYI)

Harry Potter, JK Rowling and her genius FTW!

Astounding voice

'Slow down, and the things you're chasing will catch up with you.'

- from Inspirational Post-Its

There's always been this never-tiring engine inside of me, pushing me to do a million things at one time. I am always trying to say 'yes!!!!' to every opportunity, and packing my life with STUFF. Probably  because life is a never ending list of possibilities to me - the thought alone makes me breathless! I always feel that we should grab every moment, and make the most of fleeting time. 

Sometimes we lose sight of what we're chasing in the midst of the blind chase. It's only 2 and a half months till I leave my home. For three good years. Time to breathe and chill. Have time for what's important. Family. Friends. Me!

And, singapore's crazy food. NOOOOO I'm gonna miss you so much!!

Ahh one billion things to do before London!

30HOURS FAMINE CAMP 2011

Just had Famine Camp last friday to saturday!

I am really proud of myself, and the 1500 other campers, for being able to starve for 30hours! Being without food made one tired and lethargic, and of course, hungry. Since I usually have like 10 meals a day, I really couldnt stop thinking about F-O-O-D.

BUT of course I couldn't be less than an awesome Facil, and I tried to hype up my 'family' as much as I could. THE BEST FAMILY EVER - MAALE, ETHIOPIA!

My Family - MAALE of ETHIOPIA!! 

When campers were forced to do 7 Wonders

They invited a Mongolian girl! SHE WAS SO VERY CUTE

Stimulating human trafficking

Game: Shoe-shiner. They had to shine shoes for 7mins in stony silence.
This guy is a role-model for all shoe-shiners

Mock funeral ceremony, for those who 'died'  

MAALE again with our mascot! (That standie)

Some campers got a chance to experience Dialogue in The Dark

Two of my family members :D

The food we ate right before the Fast.

All the Ethiopian Facilitators!

ALL SO HUNGRY - for a better world

Our breakfast before Fast

Beyond all the hunger pangs, crazy activities and cool ceremonies, there is of course, an underlying message. 'We are hungry, but the children are starving.' It has always struck me how unfair life is, and how lucky we have got it. How privileged we are.

The camp tries to show you what is happening to those poor children in other parts of the world. And even if you are not prompted as of yet to do anything about it, you realize that whatever complaints we might have now, is really nothing to complain about. You get reminded of how beautiful your life is. I have always wanted to be someone who loved and appreciated every minute of my life. And I want to help others from this privileged position of mine.

Well that aside, XINMSN featured 30hour famine camp! And the most AMAZING thing is, they chose to feature ETHIOPIA!!

ETHIOPIA on XINMSN
click on it! I am the one hiding behind my poster saying MAALE. How cool we are. :D

Entry into backstage

The coolest thing was whenever recording began, the producer will go 'Everybody cameras and phones all away' and I would be there snapping and shooting away like nobody's business. Woah

And I have to announce something. Because I am not a fangirl and I am such a professional, I resisted the urge to take a photo with Pierre Png!! Ultimate self-control
