I say you the bestest
Lean in for a big kiss

2011 have come to an end, hah, fast isn't it. I can conclude that 2011 had been a blast! People definitely change, in a way of how one personally think, and in a way how they act. People grow up by knowing more, learning more and experiencing more. What more can I ask when I have personally learned so many things?
January,
At the same time, we were allowed to use our hand-phones for the first week, isn't that cool? Unlike other camps where they kept the phone right away! In the first week itself, I met a lot of new friends. Of course, I couldn't remember much what happened when I was in National Service, it's like 9 months ago or so. Bear with it!
This is how our dorm looks like, where we need to change our bed sheet every 2 weeks if not mistaken, we had to clean everything, yes including the toilet, cupboards, windows, floor.
These people are the ones I was close with in the first week being in National Service.
From left : Brenda, Wendy, Huang Ying, Hui Ying, and Hui Qi.
From left : Brenda, Wendy, Huang Ying, Hui Ying, and Hui Qi.
Because one of em' had to leave us due to personal reasons, we agreed on taking crazy pictures together as a memory. Felt kinda sad because we were so close, laughing like mad nearly every time when we were together sitting down, talking about everything like we have know each other for a very long time. :'(
This is Wendy Wong. :)
Huang Ying.
Fie Kie from Perak.
Hui Ying who left. :(
Huang Ying and I.
Moving on, in National Service, we had to go for classes to. I kid you not! Classes nearly everyday, sometimes even till noon. :( To me it was kind of boring when we had no activities in between the classes.
Each time the topic we learned finished, we change class, it also means we get to meet more friends from everywhere! :)
Picture of my friends of one of the classes.
Of course not all classes are boring, in National Service, we have to create our own group cheer, songs to support our own group, even in classes too! I think my camp is cool, in a way we were allowed to bring camera and MP3 to kill our boredom. Time passes by, let the picture do the explanations. :)
These pictures are taken before Chinese New Year holiday, yes! We have 4 days holiday but we could extend 3 more days, but of course our allowance will be deducted! Nothing free in this world. Hoho.
We went mud crawling, crawl over the wall, monkey rack which I failed miserably, crawling in the tunnel and we got our teacher putting mud all over our face!
From left : Cheryl, Harmony, Brenda, Huang Ying, Victoria, Yee Ching and Pui Yee.
Cheryl from S.U.
It's..ya know, DELTA's thing.

Yeah, this is how our food looks like, appetizing no? Trust me, it's not that bad, maybe because we're so use to it already. I remember each time when it is time for us to eat, all of us would run like a gorilla because nobody likes lining up! But oh well, I think their sambal is awesome. :D Days past by, and of course we are use to it, bathing with cold waters, bathing early in the morning, sometimes 3 in the morning if there's important activities. Even so, we always sing and talk when we're bathing. Time is running out, we bond, we laugh, we share stories, we share experiences, we help one another, we learn more, we understood more, we care for each other. It was like one big family staying together, seeing each other everyday. Staying with about 20 girls in a room? Ohohoh, there's a lot stuffs you will know.
Trying to look cool in this picture.
Awesome friends that I was always with. ;')
My gf's.
Delta boys,
posing for the camera!
Failed miserably, the base is too small, that is why it's not stable, highest? AHAH
Then we also have outdoor activities, volleyball, and I'm so happy and proud to say I've joined it. With no experience playing volleyball, trained only for a few days, trust me, if you don't know how to serve the ball properly, your hand actually hurts hitting the ball.
My volleyball team!
Because we were constantly under the sun, constantly eating to kill boredom, yeah, gained weight, tanned myself. :'(
Because we love our group so much.
Delta boys cheering.
Yes, yes, see how fat I've gained.
YES, it's a real M16.
had to line up accordingly and wait for our turn, we have our own lanes, 100m, hard, no?
Um, I didn't do that well. HAHAHA, it was hard for me but it was fun. 20 bullets only, so our job is to just keep load and shoot. shoot shoot and shoot.
Days before finishing our National Service, each group had to come out with a performance during the last night in our camp. So yes, we decided to do a dance! Chinese, Malay, Hindu and Bangla dance and of course we had to practice.
This is my dancing partner, Helmi. : )
In the dorm, once again, eating.
Blood donation day where I wasn't allow to donate due to insufficient blood. Boo. :(
2 days before the end of first batch National Service, we had camping to do, the day that I have not been waiting for, because I dislike insects so much, because I dislike using the bags and food case that they provided so much, because we were about to stay in the jungle. Gosh. Trust me, I kept spraying mosquito repellent all the way. AHAH. Guess what? After walking for hours, we walked back to our camp. -__________- and we had to make our own tent.
Exhausted to the max!
My awesome ladies.
After camping session, we were so happy that it was finally over!
Back to our eating session, foods are from CNY.
Back to dancing session with dancing partners.
Busy writing love letters for our buddies before leaving. :'(
Latihan Penutupan Kawad. ; -
Marching for the very last time, trust me, it took us a very long time to practice. Legs hurt badly cus we need to stand and walk super long. :(
After that, at night we had performance night!
Drew my hand for Hindu dance that night.
Last night @ KEM GEO KOSMO ; -
Ate like no tomorrow, slept @ 3 am and woke up at 5 am, packed everything, and it was time to leave.
Delta's flag. We actually drew and painted it ourselves.
P8 girls.
Delta's.
Here are some videos, ;-
Before Chinese New Year break, everyone went really hyper and went on the stage to sing. :)
There are more videos, but they are on fb! Go check it yourself if you're in my friend list.
I can't remember much about what have I been through in NS, but thing I know is that, I've learned a lot there. We are as though one big family, without caring what race are we, where are we from, rich or poor, skinny or fat, we're one. When there's a problem, when we face conflict, we face it together. When one is sick, we care for each other, when there's a competition, we plan and fight through it, when we cry, we cry together. Well, I can definitely say that National Service is fun. People should change their mindset thinking that National Service is scary, disgusting etc. It's not that bad actually, because you'll get use to it, sleeping with only fan, bathing with only cold water, living without using mobile phones and laptops. Everyday we line up in order, we march, we sing, we cheer, we learn. Learning not to complain what food they serve, facilities they have provided, to fight through obstacles, it's something I can't explain it unless you experienced it yourself. You get a free opportunity to meet new friends from all around, different backgrounds, what more can you ask? You get to play when it's time to play, you get to show your talent when there's an activity, you can share your stories when there are classes. Nobody is going to look down on you unless you look down on yourself. This is one experience that I will never forget. ;') Time flies when good things happen.
After National Service, weeks later it was my turn to face college. Not knowing anyone there, once again being alone, but once class started, I remember the scene where I saw this girl having the same bag as I do walking towards the seat and I immediately followed her, didn't know her name, I was peeking her water bottle that had her name on it. Her name is Sylvia. On the first day itself, we had a lil presentation and we both presented and then we went to Pyramid for lunch together since there was this canopy walk which they say takes about 5 minutes only. *coughs. We both end up eating @ Toilet Bowl since we both had never been there before,
HELLO pretty! :)
Some way and somehow, we bonded really well and we talked a lot, both found out each others similarities and we just kept talking like we have known each other for quite some time. So, college started quite good eih?
April,
Headed to I-City with sis and her friends for the very first time.
Nothing much there actually, went there once and that's it. :) College was taking over my time and of course I had to make more new friends, and indeed I did, Sylvia asked a few of her new friends for lunch at Pyramid. They are from Muar, cool not?
Someday in April, ...we got free tickets to Rain's concert. SCREAMS SO BADLY!
Voice? Look, Dance moves = 100% sexy.
Back to college, it didn't take us long time to get close with each other, because we were all so open to each other, we always had lunch together, spending most of our money on food. Weird?
May,
Teachers day,
Shadapp, I'm fat. I just got back from NS not long ago k! >:(
Life, with assignments,
Our O.M.G product where we each coloured and designed it ourselves.
I like this presentation most, because it's a teleport watch where we explained about the functions. I find it pretty cool.
Because we constantly take pictures in college, we flood facebook in several albums of ourselves and our friends.
AHAHHA, crazy moments with Chee Hui's laptop.
At the end of Semester 1, our extended family decided to have a Sports Day.
June,
Sister's 20th birthday @ 7atenine, KL.
July,
Remember back when I was NS, I couldn't donate blood, then this time, I went to Summit USJ to donate my blood with my sister but my sis couldn't because she's underweight.
August,
I decided to join MiRRORs Ambassador Search 2011/12.
Around August, we had an assignment, and we decided to go to the orphanage. I have never been to an orphanage and it was my first time, the day before the visit, my friends and I planned what to buy, what to bring for the lil kids. The orphanage house is called Yayasan Sunbeam Home in Cheras. Again, it is something that I would never forget. Before leaving to the orphanage house, we meet at up college foyer to practice a lil songs and movements because the orphans are Christians.
When we reach there, the first thing we saw was,
When we went in, no one communicated with us, the kids isolated themselves from us as though we were monsters, but Fiona decided to started to talk to them yet they were at their own side, as you can see,
So Sylvia decided to turn on Tarzan and Jane's song and make them dance, but instead of them dancing, the went to the speaker to look what it is. Press next, it was Hillsong's - One Way, Jesus.. Most of them reacted towards it and started singing! So do we!
We brought everyone together and played the kid game, musical chair. :D
The boy that kept asking me questions, he asked me, " have you watched Captain America? Father brought me there. " " Jie jie, you got facebook? "
Before we left, we gave them souvenirs, we gave them a tight hug and asked them to take care of themselves. Somehow I was really emotional when they asked "Are you coming back again next week?" I didn't expect to feel what I've felt when I go back home, especially when I did my presentation I felt so sad inside, cus I was thinking everyone deserve to have love and to have a family care for them. Well, guess we wouldn't know what their parents have gone through to have them make decision to put their child in the orphanage. I wouldn't judge, because some might have their own difficulties, or so, they are just irresponsible. Then again, I would only say, after the visit, I learned to appreciate my family more, more than I do before. To learn to be more grateful for what I have today, after all what do the orphans have? We have more privilege, what do they use? Most of the things are donated because of the large amount of orphans all over. ;') Mommy told me that, it doesn't mean that if you want to help the orphan, you have to adopt that particular person, you can help them by giving them money, for their studies or so on. ;)
-
In August, it is also one of my girlfriend's birthday. Her name is Choo Ling. Because she couldn't celebrate with her family this year, since her house is all the way in Johor, we celebrated with her @ TGIF. She had no idea that we were all celebrating her birthday.
September,
Feeding?
Somewhere in September, it was my birthday and I've turned 18. ;')
First I went lunch @ Puchong for Shabu Shabu.
After lunch, went back college to continue more studies, was waiting for my friends, kept asking them to come faster cus I was alone. Was inpatient already but they were no where to be found. Then suddenly, people start singing Happy Birthday.
After all the classes, headed to Tony Roma's for dinner. :D
October,
Because we love food so much, we went to Yuen Buffet Steamboat with college mates and ate like hungry gorillas. It's famous for its chicken wings and trust me, it taste like heaven.
Gray team.
I got in TOP 25, SEMIFINALS, so we had to go Phileo Damansara to sign some papers, my awesome friends skipped class and followed me there. ;')
While we were searching for the office, bump in Corntoz promoters and they ask us to take picture with them, so we did!
Headed to Curve for lunch after that.
Somewhere around October...we had Talent Time for FIA's. Practiced since September but the outcome wasn't really satisfying. ;/
Here is the video. Don't judge. ; -
OH I LOVE AND MISS THIS SO MUCH! It's at Village Park and famous for its nasi lemak. The price is reasonable and it taste awesome. It's a must try!
don't touch me, i'm depressed !
Headed to 1U after that, for movie, for lunch.
Awesome friends. ;')
November,
First day,
We had to stand on the stage and give a lil intro of ourselves.
Mm, I look confident no? HAHA, I talk like a wind.

Last day of SEMIFINALS, there's no more snapping photos but there's make up talent. Pfft, I know nothing about make up. Of course not so easy, we were given themes,
1. Avant Garde
2. Rock n Roll
3. 80's glam
4. Lady GaGa's inspired.
5. Disco
I had no idea about those make up, I had to google and youtube, even tried it myself and failed badly. I think the hardest is trying to put on fake lashes because I have no knowledge about make up, but I'm use to it now. Yay myself! :D
Make up session.
See how long those fake lashes are.
My make up artist.
Sean.
SEMIFINALIST. :)
My theme was? Lady Gaga inspired.
3rd day and they are still there to support me. :)

Peace out!
December,
Received mail from MiRRORs saying that there would be a photo-shoot, it's a task! We had to choose a words that best represents ourselves and we had to show it through our body language. We were given 15 frames only and the management will choose the best photo and evaluate it.

I wasn't allow to smile and be nice cus of the word I've chosen.
Sher Leen.
Shu Yi
fooling around..
the 2 that once again accompanies me. :D
Somewhere around November, I had photo-shoot with Lewis Jay, for the very first time. Again, KL and William were the ones that accompanied me through the whole process. :) I don't usually wear jeans because I feel that I don't look good in it. But well, let the outcome speak for itself. :)
December,
MiRRORs Finalist had a few activities and the first activity was Keep Slim Workshop @ Puchong and SpartanZ Class @ Body Express, Subang Avenue. First we went for the workshop, had a lil meeting with Joel explaining to us what we need to know. So yes, we had a little photoshoot since KeepSlim is one of the sponsors and they are giving out the title 'Ms.Keep Slim Bodyline' and 'Miss.Popularity'. With no make up on, we do what we need to do!
How to vote for me? Easy, first you need to like their page @ KeepSlim , then just search me @ HERE. You just need to click the like button!
Anyhow here are more pictures from the activity.
Had lunch together @ Empire then it was time for our workout. Of course, there's no easy workout!
COOL STUFF.
No time to waste! It was time to lose some fats. Like what the trainer said, no pain no gain. Keeping fit isn't easy.
A lil stretching first.
Here comes the hard part.
Our trainer.
Georgina.
Guess everyone nearly died after doing the work out. Feels like I've lost so much weight after the workout Haha. Self comforting. The very next day, my whole body aches, maybe because it's been a long time since I last do sports. ;/
Somewhere around December, my awesome friends had their birthday, double that is. Our awesome friend, Jian Wei decided to bake cake himself for the birthday humans. ;') Ain't that cool?
Surprise?
Say hello to Gokila and Eric. :)
Good friends cuts cake together. :D
Tasting time! Jian Wei warned us as he didn't know how would it turn out to taste like.
Finger licking good?
Doubting yourself?
NOP, it was super yummy!
Black forest cake made by Jian Wei. ;')
Sylvia and Keen Yan.
Shi Ying.
Brotherhood.
Gf's.
One complete picture of my extended family. ♥
December 13 -
Second activity of MiRRORs Ambassador Search. It's a talk by Yu Jin about the balance of dieting and socializing. He gave us 8 tips!
Ladies who attended the talk.;)
Last activity of MiRRORs for me is the visit to Organic Recipe @ Bandar Utama. It's a vegetarian organic restaurant that has a vareity, flavorful and healthy vegetarian cuisine! Trust me, it's awesome. ;) Once again, if you wish to drop by at this place, here is the address ; -
Lorong Lebuh Bandar Utama,
PJU 6A, 47400 PJ.
bloggers.
Ladies who attend.
Time for class.
This helps to clear your intestine! It's good for everyone, you can get it at any organice shop. How to make it? You need water, lemon, and of course psyllium husk! First put a lil psyllium husk in your cup, add a little lemon, add honey to give a little more flavoring then just add water and there! you can have your healthy cup of drink! :D
Yes, you need to obey rules there, yes, we were not allowed to use mobile and computers, but with so many people there for you to talk with, so many activities ready for you to face, there's no time for that! We had no air cond to sleep with, no comfy beds to lay on. Yes, we sweat in the noon and we often feel so sweaty when we have short naps in the noon, but we adapt and get use to it. Just like when we bathe, there's no heater, there's only cold water, still we get use to it. You shiver when you bathe early in the morning but yes, you either bathe or be as smelly as you want. At first, I felt so tired waking up so early that I fall asleep so fast at night, after some time, you just wake up automatically. Sometimes you get punished and you have to stand so long, it hurts your leg, memories..memories. All the shoutings, cheers and tears. :')
and then it comes down to college, I had a wonderful time having new more new friends. I met real awesome group of friends and friendship still remains. Misunderstandings rarely and barely happen because after all, what's the point of arguing with your own group of friends. Even so, if there is, we solve it quick and put it behind and remain good friends. My friends were really supportive in everything I do, especially the recent competition I joined, MiRRORs. They were happy I joined it and they gave a 101% support. When there are votings, they helped me share it around, when those votings involves money for each vote, or 10 votes, they were willing to vote unlike me who didn't even vote for myself. lol. We were just really happy when we are together, having lunch, in class, going for a movie together, go shop together, we often talk nonsense, crack a joke, telling stories, even ghost stories before watching horror film, but after all, we are going to graduate real soon. :'(
Where as academic wise, I'm really satisfied so does my parents. Back when I was in high school, I often food around with my studies, procrastinating I often get moderate or bad results. People change, and after all, I don't want to disappoint my parents. In whatever things I do, studies are really important to me. Mom told me that, yes you can have fun, you can do whatever things you want as long as my results are good. We're good. Of course, I don't want to repeat the same mistake to flunk or to get bad results again. The past shall remain the past.
Life for me have changed and I'm pretty satisfied with what I have now, as what, I still have my high school darling with me, although we don't meet each other that often, talk that often anymore, we still catch up with each other once in awhile. To me, no matter what if you're good friends, nothing can stop us from being friends, unless you decided to downgrade yourself and be immature to start a fight. You meet friends all around, like when I joined MiRRORs Ambassador Search, we see each other as competitors. What about now?
We had so much fun together, instead of calling each other competitiors, we bond and have so much fun together when we spend time together for the activities, especially when we were grouped up to create a 15 minutes performance for our FINALS that is coming soon. :) Who would ever thought we would have so much fun together? Going lunch together, talking a lil more about ourselves and our family, a lil bit about our personal life. Here before I leave, here are the TOP 12 FINALIST. (pictures were grabbed)

So whoever is interested in attending the FINALS, leave me a comment or contact me.

I'm sure our performance will make you scream. *wink wink*
So there goes my 2011. 2012 will be a better year! That's a promise. :D It's just the start of the year and I'm already super busy. Till then. -
