champouf posted Thanks. on Monday, January 31, 2011  " The story of my Family ... " This is the story of my family. There is no drama, no fabrication, no lies - this is how my family had lived from the beginning of our lives. Up till now, I've always find myself not appreciating my family for who they are, and many times I have always wished I had other people's family. But no more. This is a tribute; my appreciation for how much they loved me despite the odds. My dad grew up from a humble family and had many brothers and sisters. He graduated from Singapore Polytechnic and started working at some publishing company. There, he met my mother who just graduated from secondary school. My mother came from a pure peranankan family who treasured tradition, and she only had one elder brother. One thing led to another and they fell in love and got married. Then, my dad went on to work as a minor engineer in SMRT. He didn't earn much but he and my mother got by. My mother continued working at that publishing company until my elder brother was conceived where she took a few months' leave before going back to work. At that time, they lived in a small apartment in Bedok. My mother hired a maid to take care of my elder brother as she continued working. Then they shifted house from Bedok to a somewhat bigger flat in Pasir Ris - it was a 4-room flat. This was when I came along! Yes my mother conceived with me and she quited her job so that she could stay at home to take care of us. Our maid was still with us then. After 3 years, my younger brother came along. By then, the maid had already went back to her hometown so it was stressing for my parents to handle three children who were no bigger than 7years old. We somehow managed through. When I was around 6years old, my uncle died and my grandparents came to live with us. It was quite hard on my father at first since we did not make much back then. However, God was good to us and guess what? Yes, my dad got promoted to Senior Engineer and he made much more than his previous salary. When I reached 9years old, we shifted to Tampines, somewhere really near to our primary school so that my parents do not have to worry about us coming home late after school. The Tampines flat costs a bomb! But it was much bigger than the past two flats - it was a 6room executive flat with 2 balconies. The house was really spacious when we first stepped in, until we cramped a lot of stuff into the house. This time, I finally had my own room! Of course my elder brother had to share the room with my younger brother :P And my grandparents took the room nearest to the kitchen. It was quite a good year for us because we didn't have to cramp in the small house in Pasir Ris anymore! And we have two shopping malls here in Tampines :) When I graduated from Anglican High School, my dad was thinking of moving again and this time he wanted to move into a private estate. Unfortunately the private estate which my mother was in love with was a bit too ... private. It was practically constructed at the end of a road and it was super close to some power plant. So guess what? If we lived there, we would be inhaling poisonous fumes almost every day and if that power plant were to explode, I wouldn't be here blogging right now. Another bad thing was that it was about half an hour walk from the main road. So it is quite a killer, and since my dad was worried about our safety, we decided not to move. Ohright, our Pasir Ris was rented out. At first their rent was only $1k per month which was super cheap and the stingy clients didn't want to pay much. My parents kicked them after 2 years and now we are renting our to a family from China for $2.4k per month. Awesome isn't it? As my brothers and I slowly grew up, my mother was missing the working life as she felt her life was pretty mundane. So she decided this time she could finally graduate from her favourite course - Food&Beverage. She went to SHINES, a private school and she graduated as the top student there! :D I'm so proud of her! Ohright, and their course costs about $6k. Yes that much. But my father supported her till the end. Now she is working as a supervisor in Mandarin Oriental Hotel, supervising trainees under her. Even though her pay is not as outstanding as my father's, she still enjoys it and she is hoping to open a cafe after gaining enough experience. I trust her abilities :) My parents are people who don't really splurge much on us because they are afraid that my brothers and I may fight for money. So they don't buy stuff for us unless we ask from them and we have to justify that those items would not affect our studies. That is when they will buy the item which we want/need. Being in family of 9people(+maid and grandparents), my parents are really the best! :) They are able to support 3 children who loves to shop, 2 high maintenance elderlies, pay for a maid to take care of my grandparents and still have enough money to spend on themselves. If I were the only child in my family, and my parents just have to support a family of three, I probably can ask them to keep ordering Chanel items like their clothes, heels (OMG THEIR HEELS ARE SUPER NICE) etc. But I know I can't because I'm in a family of 9people. But my mother did spend $3k+ on me once! Hahaha. I felt REALLY BAD at the end. You are wondering how my mother spent so much on me in just one day ... let me shed some light on this topic. You know, I was really fat back then (not saying that I'm super thin right now, but I did lose a lot of weight) like about 58kg! D: And I almost ... died once because I was just tooooo fat. I guess because I used to be an athlete then after putting on a lot of weight, my body was not accustomed to it, thus it sort of failed(?). So my mother hired a nutritionist to help me with it. Of course till now, I still have to visit her every week and each session costs about $100. My friends all said that I'm paying people to help me watch my diet ... HAHA :P If you say it like that ... I guess it is true. But yea, I haven't found the time to go for quite some time already, but I'm trying to make time for it! And right now I weigh 46kg. I lost 12kg in 6months. It was quite tough though .... :( Not being able to eat your favourite food, but hell I did not want to be fat! Not saying that fat people are ugly ... is just that I want to be able to run 4km without dying literally, or being not able to be a flyer for cheerleading. As for my elder brother, being a person who sought out high end items, he spends a lot. And about 80% of those are on hair products. Hahaha :) He can spend about $500 on his hair. GOD. ($200 on cutting of his hair and the rest are spent on hairspray, hair moisture, hair gel etc etc) At least I don't spend so much on my hair! AND THANK GOODNESS he is bald at the moment due to NS :) And last time when he was still chasing after Gen (his current gf), he would spend a lot bringing her to fancy restaurants to appeal to her since she comes a really rich family. And I'm SOOO glad that my elder brother could get a girl like her. She is really sweet and cute. When she puts on makeup, she immediately transforms into a matured young adult. As for me, I don't really like shopping back then because I was too lazy to walk about for so many hours until I met Kyle! My awesome half Italian, half Japanese with slight British descend. Or was it half Italian, half British with slight Japanese descend .... Hmmmm ... But I know for sure he is half Italian! Haha :P While when I met Kyle, I was basically ... A NERD. I wore baggy jeans and had mushroom hair. I have no idea how we hooked up, but one thing led to another and he was a effing rich kid. He would bring me to high-class functions and their dressings are just ... GASPS* So I had to go shopping. He would always send someone to pick me up and bring me about Singapore shopping. Well the first few trips were just epic fail. Then he told me of some of the special aristocrats functions. I TOTALLY FELL IN LOVE WITH IT. And started buying those Victorian-styled clothing (and slowly mixed with gothic/lolita), which was super expensive!! I could spend about $500 in one weekend and that is the price of just two set of clothing. And to total it all up, I spent about $3k on those clothes. Even now, I still think that it was quite worth it as it serves as a memory for me. Ohright, I loved their Masquerade Parties the most, but it was quite dangerous since rich people there only cared about sex. So I sticked to him most of the time. The bad thing about Kyle was that he hated taking pictures. As a result of that, I had no memory of him when he went back to Britain for business purposes. I guess that was the end of us. And life went on for me. My younger brother is the saver. Yes he saves up a lot. He does not do shopping until special occasions, so basically he just stays at home to either game or study. Until recently I guess? Where my elder brother mentioned something about his style of life and he changed. He bought new clothes and started styling up his hair. Of course in my elder brother's eyes, he was just an amateur. Haha :P Glad to see that my younger brother is finally getting out of the house to shop. I know my family is not fantastically rich like Bill Gates and such, but we are enjoying our lives. We do not have to scrap through our lives when we want to buy something we want, and we are practically loving every moment of it as a family. Of course sometimes I wonder what would happen if I were the only child, I would be even more pampered and spoiled than I am now, but without my brothers, who can I bully/irritate? Hahaha :) And of course, I love my siblings a lot. I want to thank my parents for working hard to give all of us a good life and they hardly take a break for themselves. Of course when they do, they really go all out, but that's not the point! :P Hahaha. I love my family the most. Of course I'm glad that my Baby can be a part of all of this! Even though, he has seen a lot of times when I fought with my parents :( At least he is there to comfort me :) Heehee. And even though I can always lend on my parents for money to shop, I still have to save up my own money. And I don't want to depend on them even when I grow up to be an adult. I want to give them a really good life when I finally achieve my dream of being a lawyer. And I know I will achieve it! :) Cheers! Loving Cheerleading and Baby with No Boundaries {♥} champouf posted Sentosa Baby~! on Saturday, January 29, 2011  " Muacks. " BLAST! This is the word I've got to say for today's outing with Zongda and Yongli! :) Heehee, unfortunately, Baby woke up late! We were supposed to leave around 8am and reach Vivo City at 9am, BUT, I struggled like mad to wake him up, only to be greeted by him turning his back on me and continue to sleep. As such by the time we left the house, it was like already 9am+ and ... Zongda and Yongli were already there! Omg. By the time we reached Vivo, it was already 10am and we quickly met with Zongda and chiong-ed to Sentosa! Zongda told us that Yongli was still at home, so we went off first. Baby was quite scared that it might rain so he didn't bring any extra clothes to change, so he didn't suntan in the end. Zongda, Baby and I were like playing around in the water while Zongda kept finding funny stuff in the waters ... LOL. He is such a KID! Gosh. We found some weird looking sea shells and I wanted to bring them home, but I guess I forgot in the end. Hahaha, we ended up playing Monopoly Deal .. so we sat around our bags and I sat on Baby's shoes because I didn't want to dirty my floral dress :P We played like crazy and Zongda/Baby kept winning! Gosh, I feel so loserific. Hahaha. Then Yongli came!! :) And he and Zongda surprised me with a birthday present from Charles and Keith! :D Ohgosh. Thanks so much! Actually Yongli arrived super early, but he went to buy my birthday present while Zongda kept Baby and I company. Heehee. So sweet! I love the bag a lot. Ohright and the bag naturally came along with the plastic bag which I swapped it with Baby's shoes and I felt so much more comfortable! We continued playing Monopoly Deal after Zongda left first because he had some CCA meeting in school. Then it began to drizzle slightly, so we finished our last game and walked back to the busstop and took the tram back to Vivo. Yongli, Baby and I went to Carls Junior to have our lunch! And it was Yongli's first time eating there! And I'm glad that he enjoyed his meal :) Heehee. Baby and I shared a meal again because we had quite a heavy breakfast which included nachos and chips. Gosh, I'm getting fat!! :( Got to go on another diet tomorrow. Sobs* So anyways, after lunch, Yongli had to leave for Church, so we accompanied him on his way back to his MRT before we went to do our Chinese New Year shopping. Well actually it was mainly Baby's turn to shop for CNY. Before that, here are the pictures I took today! My photography skills are definitely getting better! :) Hohohoho. So anyways, the start of Baby's shopping. First of all we went to Zara since Baby was quite hyper about it. And he saw a lot of stuff he wanted! He tried on a few stuff like jeans, trousers, shoes and stuff. THAT WAS WHEN WE SAW THE SCHOOL JACKET. OMG. You know about those kind of Varsity School Team jacket in America? It's like superrrrrrr awesome, and Baby found it cool too! Unfortunately it was more like a winter jacket, it was super thick and wearing it in Singapore is a bit too ... exaggerated. Gosh. Such a waste. While Baby continued looking through his clothes, I went to the Ladies' Section and sought out a few things for myself. I didn't really see much things I like because I did enough Zara shopping in China already so I guessed I got 'sick' of it. Then I went back to find Baby in the Men's Section and he already picked up a few items which he confirmed he would buy. So as we were lining up at the Ladies' Counter (as the Men's Counter was closed WTH), I saw this pair of Leopard Print Heels which I totally fell in love with! OMG. And thank goodness I brought enough money to get it. So I tried it, of course with Baby's assistance as the heels are quite complicated. You slot your feet inside, then the strap practically wraps around your ankles and then you buckle them in place! Hahaha of course this is something I can't do without sitting down and sitting down on the floor in the middle of Zara is something I WILL NEVER DO. So Baby had to help me! Lol. Thanks love! :) And I settled with buying that pair of shoes. Goshhhh I already love them soooo muchies! After that, we continued walking around, finding stuff for Baby as he only bought one pair of jeans and two pair of shoes from Zara. First we went to Topshop and saw a few things he liked, but then I suggested continue walking around more. Then, he went to Adidas! That was when I saw sneakers which were like omgggggg cool! And Baby said that the Adidas sneakers there were much nicer than Nike ones ... darn it. Haha nevermind. Baby was finding a pair of sport shoes which he can wear to the gym because his cheerleading shoes are slightly uncomfortable. He saw a few pairs he liked but in the end he made up his mind ... Gosh, he makes decisions really quick. Sadly, there weren't any sizes left, so Baby decided to continue looking at other outlets. After Adidas, we dropped by at Forever21! Where I saw this HelloKitty blouse which was like SUPER ADORABLE! But I felt it was not worth it because it looked kind of kiddy. LOL. We walked around many other shops like Fox, Warehouse, River Island, and Baby kept insisting on buying the shirt from Topshop. So we went back and I used up my membership birthday discount of 20% for him :) Heehee, can tell he is really excited about it. While afterwards, he realised that he should buy another shirt for himself, and we went back to Zara and he bought one! :) A really nice one I should say :D Heehee. Well that is it for the shopping. The rest of the time we spent was just walking around, browsing through the different shops (especially the toy shops) HAHA :) Well, I kind of felt bad for Baby who was lugging a HUGE Zara bag throughout the entire shopping trip, so we headed home. Thank goodness we managed to find seats on the way back if not I would really be pissed! And the trip back was REALLY SHORT, amazingly. We took the bus home, because we were just too tired already as we reached home at around 6pm+!! Gosh, we were like out for the whole day! :( Hahahaha. At home, my younger brother's friends were just playing Guitar Hero and Ashvin was the one singing! HAHA omgosh, my first time seeing a person actually singing for Guitar Hero :P Right, anyways, Baby and I just settled in our room and we rested :) Of course we also indulged ourselves in my leftover birthday cake from yesterday ... it's mmmmmmmm GOOD!!!! :) Hahaha. And after a while, I got hungry again, so I ate spaghetti and chicken. Gosh, it is also mmmmmmmmm GOOD! :P Gosh, and when my mother got back from church, she bought Macs and gave me her fries. GOODNESS I FEEL LIKE I'M GOING TO GAIN WEIGHT!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! That's why I'm on a strict diet from tomorrow onwards, gosh it feels like I keep saying that ... :( Today was a SUPER DUPER AWESOME DAY! And I really enjoyed myself with Zongda, Yongli and Baby even though the time was quite brief for Zongda and Yongli. Thanks for the awesome prezzy! I loved the bag :) Heehee. Ohyea and another thing! I downloaded this really neat application onto my HTC phone and it is just toooo adorable to miss out. It is something like a Neoprint application where you can edit your pictures etc to make them cute or pretty. Here are some examples! :) Loving Cheerleading and Baby with No Boundaries {♥} champouf posted 19th Glamour! on Friday, January 28, 2011  " I'm 19. " Today was my birthday! :) Ohyea, and it was GOOD. Hahaha :P Alright so I came back from school after celebrating my birthday in school with my awesome friends. And as usual, I took a BREAK! :) Hahaha I caught up with some episodes of The Simpsons on an online hosting television shows (introduced by Melissa who kept watching BigBangTheory on it heehee) which include movies! Hahaha. Just a few days ago I watched Beauty and the Beast! That was my most favourite cartoon since I was a child. Mygosh, such good memories. So right, I watched about 5 episodes until my mother came home and that was when I went to sleep while she used the laptop to play Bejewelled. LOL! So cute. Imagine a grown adult playing a children's game and playing it with such intensity! :P Ohright, my grandparents gave me money for my birthday present as they didn't know what to buy for me. Haha. And yes Baby gave me a Gucci perfume, something which I covered in my previous post. And when my mother saw the Gucci perfume, she was like pestering me to let her try the smell ... of course I ignored her and continued sleeping. Hahaha but yes I guarantee the smell is just superb. Excellant. Beautiful and oh so elegant. Baby really has awesome taste in such stuff! Ohright, before I get into details ... let me post up the pictures of the rings which I got for Baby and I at Couple Lab! :) Heehee. They are super prettahhh~! PRETTY ISN'T IT??? :D:D:D And the smell is JUST AMAZING (yes I know I've said it many times ...) Hahaha :P Anyways, back to my story. After my little nap, Baby called me on the handphone when he finally knocked off from work and he quickly rushed home because my whole family was waiting for him to get back so that we could start eating. The moment he reached home, my dad was already at the dining table. Showed that he was really starving for food! Hahahaha. My mother, grandmother and my new maid prepared a small meal for the family on my day! Heehee, they did spaghetti, baked salmon, roasted honey chicken, sliced diced vegetables and nothing would be complete without the awesome sauce for the salmon. Even though it was a simple meal, eating it along with my family was the best! Even though I was sitting at the coffee table with Baby, watching my younger brother playing some violent, bloody and gory game (GOW 2), I still felt warmth from the family :) Heehee. Oh how I love them so much! (gosh, I was too engrossed with eating, I totally forgot about taking pictures of the feast! Darn it.) After eating, we sat on the couch and watched Wipe Out together on the television. It was some American game show which had rather ridiculous obstacles for the competitors to go through, but it was mainly for humour and humilating those contestants and we did have a good laugh (especially at some fat dude who was screaming like a girl whenever he fell from one obstacle! Haha nothing against fat people!) HAHAHA! Baby and I retreated back to our room, waiting for our food to slowly digest ... because this was the day which I really ate till I'm BLOATED. At around 9pm, my mother took the cake out and I started snapping pictures of it! :) THE CAKE WAS JUST AMAZING. THE TASTE WAS SUPERB AND I FELT LIKE EATING TWO SLICES .. of course I couldn't eat anymore because I was TOO FULL .. hahaha burps* So I guess I'm eating it tomorrow morning for breakfast!! :) After the mini celebration and cake-eating, my family retired to their rooms because they are exhausted. Except for Baby, Joel and I! Hahaha we are still up meddling with our computers. LOL :D Anyhow!!! I'm super happy today thanks to all my family and friends who made this possible :) Heehee. Thanks to all who sent me lovely smses wishing me an awesome birthday and to those who wrote on my facebook wall as well! Thank you all so much for your well-wishes! I appreciate every single one of them! From those long letter-like messages to short and sweet biddings, I LOVE them all! :D heehee. And of course I love all of you too, for making my day a super special awesome one. Muacks♥ And as Sheldon would say, "In the world of emoticons, I am colon capital D!" ADORABLE! Ohright, I'm JUST TWISTING MY FINGERS IN HOPES THAT TOMORROW WON'T RAIN and spoil my Sentosa outing with the guys .. :S Ohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease. And yes definitely, I'm awaiting my Camera which will arrive any time soon! OMGOSH. I can't wait to start snapping even more PRETTAH PEEKTUAHS SOON! :D:D:D:D HAPPINESS OVERLOAD~! Of course my parents are like (SUPER) worried that I might get distracted with my DSLR and not study at all for my Alvls, but I'm glad I managed to assure them like after talking to them for about 1hour!! LOL. They keep thinking I'm some person who gets easily distracted .................... even if I am ..... I shall try my best to put my all into my studies for Alvls (darn that stupid exam).. And that's it! I'm finally 19years old (gosh I'm so old ...) and my mother says that I'm like old enough to marry LOL thanks ...... but hell no, I ain't going to marry without a stable job! :0 Ohright, that reminds me of another funny thing. My mother switched on the electric piano to play the birthday song for me, but my dad switched it to the wedding song when Baby and I were having our pictures taken! We were like trying damn hard to not laugh as we had to pose for it, and when my mother finished snapping, all of us started bursting out laughing like mad. Ohgosh Dad, you sure know how to crack a joke ... ;) I love my family a lot, no matter how much they may seem unfair, fierce or sometimes just pms-ing .. I still love them for going through thick and thin with me for 19 long years, especially my parents. LOL. Love you guys the most!! Anyways, that's all for now. Toodles! Loving Cheerleading and Baby with No Boundaries {♥} champouf posted Loves. on  " Be my Cupcake! " Whees the past few days have been really awesome! School hours are short (compared to others!) and the best part is that since Thursday, the school arranged the J2s for subject days!! Which means we have no lessons and basically we just attend activities the school has for us. This is in lieu with none other than VJC J1 Orientation! That's right, the newbies are coming in and excitement is no doubt in the air. These freshmen are going to be young adults any time soon and it's actually quite interesting to see that development because now all I see are just somewhat premature teens who still seem quite baby-ish to me. LOL. Unfortunately for us J2s is that we have to squeeze in the pathetic small canteen again as with the arrival of the J1s, it's going to be crowded like hell! Damnnnnn .. not to mention we have the IP students :S Hahaha. ANYWAYS, for yesterday's activity, I was supposed to go to China Town but then I didn't sign up for that, so I went to watch the Movie 21 at Lt4 instead! That was the original activity I signed up for :) I forgot that the activity started at 8:45am, so I was damn early! I reached about 7:30am and I went to one of the classrooms to sleep since Melissa and the rest weren't there yet. Melissa came around 8am and I met her at the canteen with Boh. Then we went to the Lecture hall where we reserved seats for Chengling and Michelle who were late. They came late because Chengling woke up late. Haha, but they didn't miss much! The movie 21 was DAMN good! It involves a group of people playing Blackjack and they had a real high chance of winning every hand because they knew how to count cards, a technique which helps one to calculate his possibility of beating the dealer's hand. So it was like really mind-blowing. They each had their own techniques and there was a teacher who guided them throughout, until he became a bad guy because one of the students screwed up and he robbed that guy for about $315K. Madness. In the end, all was solved and the teacher deserved the fate he was thrown in for being too greedy and it was a happy ending! Hahaha. The whole lecture hall was bustling with glee after the movie because they all thought that if they learned counting too, they could beat at Blackjack, but the teacher explained that the success rate of it in reality is only a measly 1% per hour. So you have got to play hundreds of hours to win big. Booo :( After the movie, we wanted to grab lunch together, but I decided to go home first because I was EXTREMELY exhausted. Today's activity was Film Appreciation, which we watched some local short story films and hear the some speaker share about the grounds of film making. Before that, I woke up super late and I met Chengling at the VJC busstop and we were caught late, so we had to write our names down. Crap. Haha. Right, back to the topic, the films were all really interesting! One was about some Freedom Rights in Singapore, another was about a shooting that happened in Malaysia, another was about a Singapore guy marrying overseas to a Vietnam woman and the last was about Singapore's story back then a long time ago. I enjoyed the 3rd one the most - the one about international marriage. Actually in my opinion, it was not exactly deemed as international marriage because the guy went to a matchmaking group in Vietnam and just chose a girl and after a few days, they got married! So it was more like buying a wife? But his wife was really pretty! Something which Teri and I agreed on a lot. Hahaha. The guy was like 30+, going on 40, and the girl was only 19 years old!! Omg. It's like almost twice her age and I felt really disgusted. At least the man treated her well. He bought for her jewelry and even arranged an official marriage in Vietnam which he also invited the girl's family and relatives. Then 4 days later, he went back to Singapore while the girl stayed in Vietnam to finish up some paperwork about her passport and Visa. Teri and I thought that it was a happy ending since the girl seemed quite happy about marrying the Singapore man because he was richer and more 'civilized' than the Vietnam man, BUT we were terribly wrong!! Omgggosh. It's like 3months after she arrived in Singapore to stay with him, he sent her back to Vietnam and she sort of disappeared and was not contactable since then. It was like he only married her for the sake of it, like obeying his mother's orders, then when that is done, he just sent her back. Omg. How heartless. I thought they would live together and have children and tell of the tale to their children. BUT NO! OMG. I guess that is why we can't really trust match-making industries since they only care about doing business and no matter whether the relationship really worked out or not, they still get paid nevertheless. Thank goodness I don't believe in match-making procedures, especially the whole buy-a-bride-overseas-crap. Anyways, putting that depressing story aside, I remembered that inside the LT, I was damn cold so I would go outside and walk around for a while. And once I met Zongda! :) Hahaha actually he saw me inside the girl's toilet so he called out for me. So we went to the canteen to grab some munch and went to see how the J1 orientation was. He met some of his few juniors who called him Head Prefect. Haha hilarious ttm :P After the whole activity ended, Teri, Chengling and I went to the canteen which they celebrated my birthday along with Aidil, Melissa and Sharon Quo. Haha it was definitely a pleasant surprise and Melissa gave me a few cupcakes which she baked by herself! It was DELICIOUS. Mygosh. SO DARN GOOD. I shared the other cupcakes with them and they too agreed with me. They gave me an elephant soft toy for my birthday and OMGOSH IT IS SUPER ADORABLE!!! :P Heehee. THANK GUYS! I LOVE IT A LOT!! :D I'm thinking of whether I should name it Chengling JR. LOL. So right, after the mini celebration, I went home! Because I was feeling really tired again. LOL no idea why exhaustion keeps catching up with me these few days :P Ohright another thing! My Baby was super cute last night. He was waiting up on Facebook for the clock to reach 12:00am so that he would be the first one to wish me a Happy Birthday on Facebook! Hahaha how adorable is that!! :P And when the clock strike 12am, he quickly posted it and gave me my present! Of course I already knew what it was because I kept pestering him all day (even at home) to give me clues and more clues. Then I guessed it correct after one long day! Hahaha Baby was quite sad because it was no longer a surprise ... but I still love it a lot :) If you are wondering what he gave me, he gave me this Gucci perfume which is super expensive, more expensive than my $129 sneakers. Hahaha. SO THANK YOU BABY!!!  I love the smell a lot!! It makes me smell ... more matured. Haha :) Muacks to my Baby. And I can't wait for today's birthday celebration among my family and Baby. Heehee. Of course including my new maid! She is a really friendly person! Whenever I prepare to go to school, she would send me off at the door and say byebye. And when I return home, she will say hi to me! :D Heehee. Really friendly! And I hope she will feel comfortable at home too! Heehee. Right, I hope that tomorrow won't rain! Because Zongda, Yongli, Baby and I are thinking of going Sentosa to suntan and after that, Baby would want to do some CNY shopping because he is coming along with me to visit my relatives. PLEASE DON'T RAINNNNN!!! Or else I would be stoning like a zombie for the next few days .... Loving Cheerleading and Baby with No Boundaries {♥} PS: I'm soooo going to get fat today, with my mother and grandmother cooking a HUGE meal + cake + Melissa's super special awesome cupcakes .. I'm sooo going to put on weight .... hahahaha :P But it is worth it!! :) champouf posted January. on Monday, January 24, 2011  " Change. " Today was another day of school ... (BORING!) Hahaha. The lessons were like super boring, and I'm like struggling real bad to keep myself awake. Today my dad couldn't fetch me to school so I had to like wake up early to catch the morning bus, or else I have to squeeze with the other students which is really irritating. Well so I went to class which I slacked with Boh and Daryl till lessons officially commences. During the break, Van Lim, Teri and I were like just fooling around and it was just super fun! I guess that was probably the best period of my day! :) Hahaha. We were just talking about our funny experiences with guys trying to woo us or even guys in a total. It was really hilarious! Especially when Van Lim told us about the guy she had a crush on during her secondary school years. :D And Teri was just wooed by weird guys! Which was really funny as well. As for me, I will spare the details. LOL. Later we had Literature and I went home after that because I was not feeling well, so I skipped Econs D: I'm thinking the teacher will be rather pissed off with me since she hasn't seen me for quite some time! So anyways, I'm going to meet my Baby later after he knocks off from work and we are going to see the new stocks for the Nike shoes! I'm hoping that they have my Hellokitty Nike Dunk Low, or even Nike Dunk is cool too - high cut shoes look cool too! :D Hahaha. I think a new pair of high cut shoes fit perfectly in my wardrobe! :) Heehee. Ohyea, I've to make sure that he gets new clothes too because I'm hoping that he will be able to visit my relatives along with my family since I'm not exactly sure what he does every Chinese New Year, with his family in China :D Heehee. It's going to be fun that's for sure! Another thing I'm looking forward to is none other than my BIRTHDAY!! :) OMG. A few more days till I reach 19years old! Wheeees. And I can't wait for presents!! Hahaha. I love presents ... SO MUCH. And yes, I'm still doing research on NIKON DSLR, just in case a new one comes out even better and cheaper! Hahaha :P Yea even I think that $2k is quite a lot to ask from my parents, so much so that I feel really bad! :( But I will study hard! :P This month is going to be a GREAT MONTH!!! So much that I'm just dancing it away~~~!! Oh yea baby~! Heehee. And that's the end of my post for today .. :P Loving Cheerleading and Baby with No Boundaries {♥} champouf posted Happiness? on Friday, January 21, 2011  " Everything happens for a Reason ... Reasonable or not ." So if you went by my Facebook page for the past few days, you can see how ... PISSED I was. And it left me thinking ... am I really that materialistic? Do I go around waving all the stuff I have that others don't? Do I actually laugh at them for not having the means of possessing those items? I think not. I can be VERY sure that I've never done that before. And another thing - insulting my boyfriend is not FUNNY. I'm damn pissed off whenever people say something bad about my boyfriend, especially when it insults his nationality. All the other time I'm just gritting my teeth and trying to ignore it, but I guess it has finally hit the limit. Please if you have anything to say to my face just say it instead of saying it behind my back and having it exposed to me through my true friends. That makes you somewhat of a loser you know... Seriously can't stand guys who go through such lengths just to be popular or have that sense of satisfaction in gaining the class' attention. That's really really really sad ... and I pity them for being such lower-beings. Yes that's right. They aren't even human, they are dirt. Or even worse than that. Sighs* How sad. Anyways, I think I've made my point. So ... let me get on with today's program! I went to see the doctor about the numbness in my left leg. Apparently, it was due to my old back injury when Zongda hit my tail-bone with his knee the other time we had cheer training. And I thought it was all better already, until like today?? She told me that the back injury has perhaps affected my lower nerves and because of my inconsistent diet (due to me trying to lose weight) has enhanced the effects of the weakened nerves in my left leg, thus the numbness. So she told me to eat properly, eat lots of vitamins (she gave me a WHOLE lot of vitamins to take) and yes take care of my back! Which means I can't sleep on the really comfortable carpet with Baby anymore!!! :( Sadness. The good thing is that she gave me one month MC from PE which means I don't have to take my mock napfa today and go for that stupid 3rd-period PE!!! Wahahahaha. Of course I intend to take my real napfa ... :) It's really important for me since I've been getting Gold since Primary 3! CHEERS!  So right, my dad fetched my back home where I was just lazing around when Zongda called me. He just finished school and he was feeling rather bored. So I quickly went to bathe and walked to Tampines Mall which he also just reached. We met up at the MRT and went to Tampines 1 to sit down and have a chat over Ice-Kachang and deserts :) And he asked me about what happened because he saw my really really descriptive vulgar facebook status. So ... we talked about stuff and we talked for about 1.5h! :) It's great to have little chats with him again! :D Heehee I do miss that feeling!  Afterwards, we walked around to do some window shopping because I'm thinking of saving money! THAT'S RIGHT! I'M SAVING MONEY! HAHAHA :) Then later I thought of going to Bugis! So we hopped onto the train and headed to Bugis where we did more window shopping. Saw a lot of stuff which I liked and guess what?! Baby told me that the Nike shoes which I'm eyeing out for has this HelloKitty series that is coming in 3-4months time! Omgggg. So I think I'm going to like wait till then before I go and buy!!!!! :D:D I was so tempted to buy the online one which is not that trustworthy ... :P Then Zongda went to buy some toys for his friend's cousin and he had to like ship it to other country! Hahaha :S As we were feeling hungry we decided to share dinner together at Food Junction. We bought this really nice chicken cutlet with frenchfries and colesaw and it was SUPERB! Heehee. I finally managed to get hold of Baby in the end after both his lines kept getting engaged ... And we decided to meet up at Tampines :) Zongda and I parted our ways and I met Baby like half an hour later. From there, we went to CoupleLab to get our rings done. As an anniversary present for him! Heehee. The reason why I told him is because I wanted him to choose the ones he liked and he did! :) Of course since it was something I wanted to give it to him, I paid for him, as he always buy a lot of stuff for me, it was time for me to reciprocate his love :D Heehee. And that's what I did for today! Kind of slack if you were to ask me :P Heehee. Toodles~! Loving Cheerleading and Baby with No Boundaries {♥} champouf posted Weekends. on Monday, January 17, 2011  " Everybody is allowed to Dream; big or small. " The weekend is GONE. Just like that. Snap. And I only have three letters for it ... WTF. NOOOOO, and I can't believe I wasted my weekend away just like that!!! :( Saturday was like just ... D: I just sat around my house, painting my nails and just ... slacking. Haha I'm obsessed with painting my nails now. Haha its like so fun! It's something like painting (duh!) but on your nails!!! WOW. So my fingernails are like Baby Pink! :D Gosh, my favourite colour! And my toenails are like alternates - Black&White! ZEBRA YOZ! So my room was like practically filled with the smell of nail polish which Baby seemed alright with it. He helped me with my nails too! Because I'm a righthander, so I'm not used to using my left hand to paint, and Baby graciously helped me with it! Heehee so sweet right? I know ♥I bet girls would kill to have their boyfriends help them paint their nails or something! Love my Baby so much. Ohright, and Melissa practically got me falling in love with Big Bang Theory. I used to watch it with my elder brother and his girlfriend on the laptop, as they would like download a lot of episodes of it. And I loved Sheldon at that time already, but I guess when I stopped watching, the feeling just died and I somewhat forgot about it until Melissa got it up again! (I tell ya, she has really awesome tastes in tv shows. She introduced Glee to me too! And I love it ttm!) As I was feeling bored, I decided to download some of the episodes and I watched right up to Season 2!!! Of course I skipped some episodes here and there because I couldn't find them on the website ... which make me want to buy their DVDs like NOW! D: And I fell in love with Sheldon all over again! :) Haha he is the most awesome character in there and he is like a super adorable geek! Because of that, I spent most of my time on tumblr searching for BigBangTheory pictures and gifs! And I've got lots of them stored in my laptop right now! :) Hahaha.   And I've got lots lots more, of course, I have to use them sparingly!!! Haha :) So right, after watching many episodes of BBT, I went out to the hall and played my Xbox360! It's been a while since I last touched it, so it was kind of dusty (oops), but it still works of course! Haha I played Trusty Bell again and just realised how much fun it was all in all! Baby liked the game too saying that the graphics are really cute and the gameplay seems fun. Heehee. But I think its too cute for him :P And proceeding with Sunday. Because I was too engrossed with Trusty Bell, I ended up playing it till 5am in the morning, which practically ate up the first part of my Sunday! My mother woke up pretty pissed finding me still awake so she chased Baby and I to bed. Haha :P Of course Baby slept like a log again, thank goodness I slept earlier than him or else I would have to face his incessant snoring! D: Hahaha :P Guess what time we woke up? 2PM IN THE FREAKING AFTERNOON!! Well Baby woke up later, (emphasized my point about sleeping like a log ...) and he caught me playing my Xbox 360 again! Hahaha :P So we ate our lunch and got ready to go to the gym around 3pm. We left at 4pm and headed to Singapore Polytechnic. We dropped by the cheer area to say hi to Vivian and the rest and passed her a souvenir we got for her! :) I miss my 女儿so much!! :P I hope she likes the softtoy and the stickers with her name on it! :D Whees. Later we gymed till 7.30pm before heading to the SPA and SAUNA. As for me, I enjoyed myself in the STEAM ROOM as well, sweating those fats away! Heehee. Practically a few minutes in there is equivalent to like 20minutes of running! :D Awesome and to add on the 4km I ran before that, I'm super happy with my achievement!! We went back to Tampines to eat 酿豆腐together and it was good! We reached home and I slept early because I was just too tired while Baby stayed up to watch some show until 3am in the morning. Goodness. And he told me that the show sucked. Oopps. Hahaha :P So anyways, I'm heading off to study now, but hopefully I can get off the computer .... or else my mother is just going to slap me in the face later on. Haha :P Loving Cheerleading and Baby with No Boundaries {♥} champouf posted Dead. on Friday, January 14, 2011  " Hearts of Mine ." Wow managed to get through a week of school without dying. Haha alright, perhaps I was half dead by the time it got to Thursday, but today is Friday! Yes! Which means WEEKENDS :) Ohgosh. Finally :D I've like been waiting for this fateful day to come. Haha my first rest after school during the weekend for the year 2011! ^-^ Heehee. The week was alright. Just rushing through stuff and trying to catch up with what I missed last year. What I'm more worried about would be the March Common Tests. Ohgod. I only have like 2 months to rush through J1 and J2 topics for the common tests! And this time I must do well or else I might face the dire consequences T.T But I still won't stop exercising thats for sure, or else I might just put on weight by the minute! D: My results are all borderline cases, so I've got to put in extra the effort to make it average. Hahaha. Sadness :( But I've got to thank Zongda for helping me along the way! Yayness. I find myself barely getting through the day without feeling really exhausted in the afternoon, and I will always collapsed at home in my bed after a long day at school. I've no idea how I'm going to survive :( But yea. I just have to make double the effort. I'm like really thankful for the weekends ... to catch up with sleep, and yes homework! LOL. Ouch manz. But I'm really looking forward to my birthday! Heehee. Can't wait to celebrate it and get pass 18 years old! Ohmygod. I feel so old. Ohright, today's Literature lesson was kind of a surprise. Teri, Vanessa and I finally joined another class for Literature or else it will continue to be a 3-Musketeer lesson! :) Hahaha. And yea, when the other class came into the room, I was just shocked to see that person. Well, I've to say that as an old crush, my heart still skips a beat whenever I see him ... but I've no special feelings for him whatsoever. He is just a pretty boy in my eyes I guess. However during class, I just can't help but let my thoughts wander. If we were to combine classes last year, I bet I would be super elated. But as for now ... nahs, I'm happily 'engaged' to my Baby and even though it is not a perfect relationship, we are working very hard to make each other happy, and that is what counts for :D SO PLEASE VANESSA, GET A GRIP! Haha :P Loving Cheerleading and Baby with No Boundaries {♥} champouf posted Thanks. on Tuesday, January 11, 2011  " When I think of England, it reminds me of the fun times we had back then . " Downslide. Major downslide. Constant bad news just keep flooding into my life. Seriously. When I heard that I can't organize Wednesday Cheerleading trainings with my friends because we have no more mats, I felt quite disappointed. The one day which I can be myself is gone, and I feel so freaking lost. Not only that, I feel like I've lost all hope in the people around me, and nothing seems to work out. At some points of time, I just feel so depressed, I don't want to care about anything anymore. People break their promises, people stood me up for stupid reasons, people treat me like a toy only for their amusement, and I feel like just giving it all up. But a good friend of mine used to say, "Everybody faces depression, despair and regret, but the world still continues revolving, time is still ticking, and every second of your life is wasted away harping on it. Why resort yourself to such mediocrity when you can achieve so much if you know to forgo your pain, and inhale the positivity. Lay down your regrets, laugh off at your depressions, shake off that despair and pick yourself up, because that is when you tell your down-nature that you've had enough of it controlling your life, and that you have finally taken control of your life from that moment onwards. Depression is like a drug - the more you inhale, the more you can't shake it loose, and you find yourself constantly seeking after it even when you don't want it, and soon, you get so used to the feeling, that it becomes a part of your life - sucking every vitality you ever had. Remember this, that even the smallest living-thing on earth has a huge willpower to live, so why not you? It is only those who pick themselves up would they have another chance to make things right, those who just give it up will probably never see their tomorrow and continue wallowing in self-pity. Smile in your despair, and have faith in yourself. Don't be afraid of making mistakes and falling down again, because that is just human nature, instead, just continue smiling and pick yourself up again. That is how you know that you will keep living on, because when you pick yourself up, you are building your character up; to be someone who won't falter easily in the sight of setbacks. So, just keep living on, and believing." A true inspiration indeed. It helps me think with a clear mind and yea, it helps me to see the more positive side of life. Thanks my dear friend :) Thanks for the care and concern, thanks for the kind words and positive mindset, and most of all, thanks for believing in me that I can succeed no matter what. Thank you. champouf posted Sick. on Monday, January 10, 2011  " Life like Polaroids. " Sick today ... Oopps, I meant since Friday. The flu bug is seriously a persistent piece of shit. I've no idea when I kept getting caught with flu, and when I feel alright the next day, it comes back and haunt me once more. And I'm getting really irritated by it already. I've finished like 3 rolls of toilet paper in one day! :/ (Pardon the fact about the toilet paper, because I thought that using tissue paper was a freaking waste so I used toilet paper whenever I've got the runs-down.) So right, I finally got sick of it and went to see a doctor today! Yes. Since my house is running out of flu medicine .. :S And I told the doctor all about it, and he gave me a stronger medicine, in hopes to finally cure the shitty flu bug. UNFORTUNATELY, all it gave me was a headache and drowsiness .... WTH. Mygod. So I got fed up and I thought that perhaps my room was too dusty for me. Thus I got up (despite my sick condition) and went to clean up the whole room. That includes vacuuming the floor, wiping the table and the stuff on the table, dusting the pillows and all the soft toys I owned etc. And well, I've to say that the room looks slight more presentable once more, but I still feel worse. So I gave up. Ohright and the trip to the doctor was not all that pleasant. It was like super crowded in there, and they had like 8 people before me and somehow to doctor today isn't working fast. It took about one whole hour before it reached my turn, and my turn ended really quick because it was just a teeny weeny tiny flu ... :/ Not that I'm complaining since he gave me my MC, but yea, I waited one hour just to get examined for about less than 3 minutes. Then I waited for about 10 minutes for my medicine and it costs about $23. I flopped up with the payment, almost giving her the wrong amount, when I had the exact amount, well I guess my brain ain't working right. T.T Somebody please end my misery! :'( My elder brother also went to the doctors today and it was really crowded as well in the morning, he also had to wait for about 1 hour and he was in much serious condition for me, something about his back hurting a lot. So I guess I can't complain much about my situation, but it still sucks if you know what I mean. But it's way better than being in a polyclinic - I probably will have to wait like 2 hours before my turn :P No way am I that patient. So anyways, before I decided to be a hero and started cleaning up the room, I was really in bad shape. I was sprawled on the carpet, unable to move or concentrate. Yes that's right, I was studying maths. My mother was watching C.S.I beside me, but I had no mood to do anything, not even to watch C.S.I, which is like my most favourite show for the season! In the end, I just fell asleep suddenly, with the notes just right beside me. Of course I woke up with my mother tugging at me, asking me to change to the next episode for her ... LOL and I did, and I dropped back to sleep. Sighs* There goes my afternoon of 'studying' ... :/ And I have a Maths Exam tomorrow, which I'm not sure whether I want to go, because today's study plan was totally ruined by this stupid s.o.a.b flu. I know I'm swearing a lot, but please bear with me T.T Anyways, I've already told my friend about my situation, hoping it won't look so bad. As for now, I'm trying to cram anything I can cram into my head before it might be too late ... Shucks. And I'm celebrating my grandmother's birthday later! So yea, not much time to study then either ... T.T Man, why do I hate my life so much whenever I feel sick? Anyways, got to go off now, take some medicine and see what more can I cram inside my head within these last few minutes. Toodles. Loving Cheerleading and Baby with No Boundaries {♥} champouf posted I♥You. on  " I ♥ You . " Just want to say how amazing my boyfriend is. Indeed, he is always here beside me whenever I need him the most. he knows how much I love cuddling, so he always roll over to my side and asks for one. he protects me from danger, even if it means putting his life in danger. he doesn't let me do crazy, insane stuff .. in fact he does it along with me, like doing cheerleading stunts in the middle of an airport! he taught me how to love myself for who I am, because that is whom he fell in love with. he will never fail to say three words to me every day, and that is "我爱你". he knows how much I love shopping, so he would always take me out and accompany me shopping, holding my bags, giving me his honest opinion on the clothes and helping me the best he could. he is always such a gentleman, making sure that on our every date, I will enjoy myself to the fullest. whenever we fought, he would always be the first one to apologize even though he was not the one in the wrong. he knows how to make me laugh whenever I'm angry/depressed or just plain bored. he is a really matured person as in this relationship, he sacrifices a lot and puts in a lot of effort in making things work out for the both of us. at the same time, he can be such a baby whenever he seeks out my attention. he knows how to encourage me at my lowest points and makes it an effort to not leave my side. sometimes he would just bring me out for a joy ride, or even an evening stroll. he is also a super romantic guy, buying flowers for me, spending time with me, and always flattering me saying I have a hot body and that I should show it more often. during my trip in China, he also paid for everything - accommodation, shopping, eating etc. and sometimes, he would even send me all the way to school, and I felt such a rebel! Holding his hands strolling towards the main gate with stares from all around! :) Hahaha it felt good alright. and this list can go on forever, because he is such a wonderful guy in so many aspects. But, the main thing is that I'm really happy that he is not only my boyfriend, but he is like my bestest best friend :) when he encourages me to put on makeup, he makes himself the scapegoat and let me experiment different makeup on him. as he helps me to get rid of my bad habit of biting my nails when I feel super stressed, he helps me put on nail polish, by hand! And he made sure it looks nice. the saying "wherever you put your money at, your heart is there." And he spends a lot of money on me. everything he does, he always think of me first. What more can I ask for him? Yet I always seem to be never satisfied. I find myself repulsive. Baby, I love you so much. And without you, I think I will still be that stuck-up person whom nobody will really like. Thank you for opening my eyes, opening my heart and most importantly, opening my soul to be a better person. You are really my one and only :) I love you.  And I've have to show off this super awesome present he got for me on Christmas. It's a watch but not any ordinary watch! It has two faces; one main face which shows the hours and minutes, and it has a smaller face at the bottom showing the seconds ticking away. It is super pretty especially when it is decorated with pink Swarovski jewels along the bigger face and white jewels on the upon cache of the watch. Something like this ain't cheap and it is just so pretty! :) I am definitely wearing this to school! Ohright, and this watch is like as tough as a tank. No matter how much you whack the face, there will be no scratches on it and it is waterproof too. So it does not only look pretty, it is durable as it is made with the finest materials and leather! :) Omgosh. Super awesome! Loving Cheerleading and Baby with No Boundaries {♥}
