Graduated from high school!


Why hello there!



So Esther, my little sister, graduated from high school and IGCSE some time last month.
Out of the three of us, she's the one who seems to have more general knowledge and be better at academics. Though, she lacks 'common sense' - or so she claims to.
She plans to study medicine, to become a paediatrician since she was young.
I guess all of us kinda knew where we were heading to.
Emmeline (my older sister), is the 'artsy' one. Talented in singing and song-writing, and probably has a more creative handwriting and better sketches/drawings.. is currently studying Pop music.
And Esther, being 16, graduated high-school a month after I did.
I'd say we meet half way.

When we first moved back from New Zealand, we thought we'd be attending the same school.
However, the school suggested that they would put me in yr 12, when I was 16.
And being someone who's not studious and due to other factors, we had second thoughts.

A family friend recommended a homeschooling centre where I could take my time to do my O level examinations. And, so I ended up in Ideal Tuition Centre. My parents figured that my future course (Early Childhood Education) does not require a formal sort of standard, compared to Esther's future course (Medicine), so that's how we were separated. She attended Sayfol International School, and I attended Ideal Tuition Centre.

We graduated together this year, separately.
And it's awesome, because we can take half a year off together.
ANDDDDD, we'll be attending school at the same time next year!

Yeap, Esther and I will be studying A levels together.
She'll be in Science stream, and I'll be in Commerce.
Though, I did think of what a waste it would be, as commerce is pretty unnecessary for my future course. However, I do like business. And intend to open one (or several) in the years to come.
Perhaps it'll be handy?

Anyways, Esther had a proper graduation, which was held in Shangri La.
So here are some of the photos :

Esther's friends and I :) Woon Yee and Linee.
With Poh Yee on the right :)

    


with the 'rents.

My dad, lol apparently we look alike?


On her graduation, Esther got Scholars Awards for Biology, English and Mathematics!
We were the happy family with huge smiles, as we were so very proud of her!
She was also the head prefect for her school, and she gave a really good speech.

Unfortunately, I can't upload a video of it here. :(


Regardless, I was personally very proud of her.
She did pretty good in her IGCSE examinations as well!
But she won't let me post it here, so I guess you can ask her personally :)


I'm looking forward to what's ahead of us next year.
It's awesome to see people you know graduate.
HAHA, it's a first for me.

Until then,
bye!

Acting all cray and stuff

Thursday 21st November:

 And several days ago, I finally got to catch up with my favourite cousin, Sheleen!





Thursday 14th November:

Oh, and if you've got a good eye, you may have realised..
that I permed my hair!!!!
Yes, I finally decided to iron-perm my hair!

Several hours after the perm; it was blow-dried and all.

So yes, my hair is mid-length now, slightly shorter;
and if you're wondering, no, I didn't re-dye my hair because I wanna reduce the damage done.
However, I may dye it after my trip - in December probs!
This is how it really turned out though! The curls are definitely a bit smaller, kinda like waves.
I may do a hair update soon though, just on all the other details that several people have asked.

Saturday, 23rd November:

Watched Catching Fire (again) with these darlings!

Then spent several hours at Debz with Esther;
because we had plans to attend a ballet concert!


Our ballet tickets! SOOO cute right?

A selfaaay before the concert!

Sarah is the first ballerina! Jewell is next to her!

Sarah is the furthest to the right, front row. and Jewell beside her!

And I asked this random boy if he wanted to join us for a photo, and he said sure! haha
Sunday, 24th November:

We had our last Supercrew this week!
I was appointed as a leader of one out of three teams.

Ee Ai and I :)

One of my helpers, and friend: Jared!

Hehe with this cute angel

My little team! :) Most of them were pretty enthusiastic!

After church.. Esther and I went to have lunch with Nathy at Citymall;
We didn't take many photos, but while we were at it..
Esther decided to take a photo of us to show us how we look when we camwhore;

How we look when we camwhore

How we look on my phone :D

So those are a summary of my holiday so far I guess!
Pretty much been indulging in the latest Korean drama..

T H E     H E I R S

Yesssssssssss, THE heirs. It's freaking amazing.
So good. It's probably better than Boys over flowers!
And, Lee Min Ho is the main starring!
Not that I'm a huge fan of Lee min ho himself, but I really like his characters.

This pretty much sums up their relationship in the drama.

Like every other korean drama, this is full of drama and complications.
The only thing I have to complain about...
is that it's new.
Which means, the episode comes out weekly.
So every Wednesday and Thursday, it a new episode comes out.
And then I have to wait for..
the. whole. entire. week.

Sigh. #myfirstworldproblems

Moving on, I have a question for you guys!

What do guys like?
as in.. for birthdays, or Christmas, or just as a gift!

You could leave a comment here, or perhaps on my ask.fm? :)

And gois, my ask.fm has been super duper lonely lately.
Like pls.
Do me a favour.
Ruin its loneliness.
thanks.
love you hehehehehehe
