Update 31 | 12 | 2015

I must confess, blogging on a regular basis is not my thing. Shall we start?

1. I went to Cambodia on the 11th of December and came back on the 16th of December. Now, I have to admit, I was pretty scared of going there for a few months prior just because pretty much 60% of the blogs that you'll find about Cambodia are saying negative stuff like " Oh I was robbed in Cambodia" or " Oh Cambodia is not safe any longer " or " Cambodia people are a bunch of pickpockets ". 
I'm going to go into rant mode now:

WTF IS THIS OKAY THIS IS NOT OKAY.
WHY ARE THE TOP BLOGS ALL SPOUTING NEGATIVE SHIT WHEN IN ACTUALITY, CAMBODIA ISN'T EVEN AS SCARY AS THEY MADE IT OUT TO BE. LIKE WTF, I WAS SO SCARED TO THE POINT OF WANTING TO CANCEL MY FLIGHT JUST BECAUSE EVERY-FREAKING-BODY CHOSE TO EMPHASISE ON THE NEGATIVE ASPECTS OF THEIR TRIP INSTEAD OF THE POSITIVE ONES.

Cambodia, or Siem Reap to be more exact, is not scary depending on how you view it. The people there are friendly, the streets are relatively safe ( even Angkor Wat is quite safe I'd say ), the food there is quite tasty ( I liked the Khmer food but my mum wasn't a fan of it ) and cheap ( well, depending on which country you're living in... ) and so forth ( DID I MENTION THERE'S WIFI IN ALMOST EVERY RESTAURANTTTT ).

It really depends on how you look at things. Scary or not, you be the judge.

tl:dr Cambodia is a great place to visit and isn't as scary as other bloggers make it out to be. Oh and be prepared for the weather there 'cause it was veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy hot. 

2. Then I went to Singapore on the 25th of December and came back on the 27th of December and although it pains me to say this but, I was really let down when I got there.
The shopping malls were too small for my liking and the food there was just not up to my standards and I could go on and on but it would be too disrespectful so I'll just stop here. Maybe it's because I'm not a Singaporean so that's why I didn't get to go to any tasty places to try out their foods??? I don't know. All I know is that I was so disappointed throughout the 2 days I spent there.

We didn't even go to Universal Studios because it was so expensive... Hopefully I'll be able to go to Osaka's next year, heh.

3. It's 12:25am now, which means it's the last day of 2015...

You know what 2015, I'm going to miss you.

I'm going to miss my days in High School as a Senior.

I'm going to miss my friends.

I'm going to miss being able to screw up and hide under the "she's just a teen" tag.

I'm going to miss being worry-free about my life.

I'm going to miss not having that many responsibilities.

I'm going to miss having my parents pay for everything 'cause I don't have a job.

etc...

And most of all,




I'm going to miss being a teenager.

Thank you 2015, for being such a great year. 

Thank you.

Update 10 | 09 | 2015

Finally, trial exams are over!! I kid you not, it has been an EXTREMELY stressful 2 and a half weeks, particularly due to me doing revision at the last minute, but let's not dwell on such heavy topics shall we? It's time forrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr an update!

1. I was lucky enough to go to High Court 2 months ago as well as Brickfields to get to learn more about law. We went to High Court first ( my friends weren't with me as they visited a hospital the day before ) and had the chance to be in a real courtroom! We weren't allowed to take pictures though as it was against the law... And I got to sit in the witness stand because everyone else took the seats for lawyers and criminals! The lawyer there even encouraged me to recite the oath witnesses usually recited during court with my right hand up, which I did. The seat was also quite comfy~

After that, we went to witness a civil case in court which was very awkward I have to admit. The case was about a famous pet shop company (?) suing one of their former employees for sharing company secrets. One of the lawyers was talking halfway when we went in, and when she turned around only to find that she had an audience, the look on her face was so funny. She looked genuinely shocked, but quickly regained posture and sat down. The others found it boring, whilst I found it intriguing. "Ahh, this is what court's like," I thought. I mean, what did they expect? People throwing temper tantrums left and right?

Then we went to Brickfields Asia College and I was super pissed the moment I got there. Long story short, 2 people accused me of cutting queue to get lunch when IT WAS AN ACCIDENT and I got angry because those 2 assholes didn't bother to check their facts with their own 2 pair of working eyes. Anyway, we played some games there and listened to a few lectures, then proceeded to tour the college.

That awkward moment when after we got off the lift at one floor, we queued up to go into the students' lounge, but before going in, saw a couple having a full-on make out session on the couch opposite the blue-tinted glass doors. Everyone just stared at them in aghast until the couple eventually realised that there were kids watching them and went their separate ways. It was a very funny experience that I will never forget. It's been 2 months and I still haven't forgotten it~

2. My classmates and I went to take our pictures at this, half-park half-mall place for our school's yearbook ( which is not going to be published, as I was informed of yesterday, much to our dismay ). However, as it was considered private property, we weren't allowed to take pictures - well, not regular ones like selfies and stuff but professional ones - so a guard followed us around all day just to stop us. And when they lost track of us? Never mind, they would call another guard to tail us! My friends and I had fun diverting the guard's attention away from the ones who needed to have their photos taken after we'd finished taking ours. It worked at the start, but he soon realised that he was following the wrong group of people and changed direction. All in all, it was a fun, albeit tiring day which ended in dinner at a Nyonya restaurant. 

PS: Our class' hoodies are the best ~

EDIT: 08|12|15

I didn't manage to write down everything that day so I saved this post as a draft instead of publishing it..
Since it's been about 2-3 months(?), I've already forgotten the events that have occurred during the month of September. However, I've decided to go ahead and publish this draft even if it's quite short as the memories that I type here, on this blog - no matter how short or long they are - are still memories that should be kept.

Till the next post.
