hopelessly
Mar 18th
You know sometimes, it’s just so hiliarious. How we continously, hopelessly hope for something that won’t ever happen? We know it deep inside, and yet still bear some hope. And how people say to be optimistic. Then I’ll ask, having this tiny little hope, does it mean to be optimistic? Because if you look at the bigger picture, it’s rather dumb and idiotic. What’s the point when you already know the ending. When you already know that nothing would change at all?
Life hurts and I wish I could turn back time. I wish I could change everything with this miniscule power of mine. Nope. I can’t do anything. Procrastinations. Sometimes, some things can’t co-exist together. All the wishes I wanted, they aren’t coming true. I know it. Life sucks. I hate this, perhaps even everything.
Why so pathetic to distract yourself with meaningless stuff?
Why so down when people are out there, at the peak of their lives?
Why think about some stuff that only happen in dreams?
Why even ask why when you already knew the answer deep within ?
Â
Yeah. I can’t help myself up nor can I heal you. Too bad. I’m sinking way too much. Goodbye hope. Welcome to hell.
Don’t give in or give up
Mar 17th
Suddenly, I have a new goal to add. So please, don’t give up or give in now. Time has got me panicky, confused within. No, don’t ever let go. If you do, you know you would regret for the rest of your life. It would then be live in regrets for the rest of it and start lamenting about something that can be achieved right now.
Girl, don’t give in or give up. I’ll try my best this time. I’ll prove myself wrong. Prove that I’m just lacking confidence. Don’t be distracted . There’s no more time. It’s either now or never. Live with whatever that’s wrong, put them at the back of your head and pretend they don’t exist. or they might even disappear.Â
Full speed ahead (:
The Singapore Flyer
Mar 16th
There were much discussion about the Singapore Flyer at the end of last year, in December due to the stoppage incident. Because of an electrical trip, the wheel was stopped for a total of 7 hours while customers were stucked in it without any food. Last year, when I was reading this article on the newspaper, I’ve really regard it as unsafe because it has been functioning well for quite some time and such an incident caused might have affected it’s business by a little. And at that time, I was pondering if people are now afraid to get on it anymore.
After many security checks and also add-ons such as food onto each and every capsule, the observatory wheel resumed business. Yesterday, I was really anxious because I was finally going to be on it. I was half-expecting it to be really crowded but it proved me wrong. It wasn’t really empty either but it wasn’t as busy as what I thought it would be. Around 6.30pm, my family and I arrived at the Singapore Flyer. It was huge. I’ve never seen it so close before. Most of the time, it was a faraway sight and now seeing it close up really made me want to quickly get on it.
This is the wheel from below. Taken from my camera (:Â
No point talking and describing what I saw, let the pictures do the work instead ! Pictures overloaded !
I wonder how it feels to go on it at night because it was a splendid view around evening time. And watching the sunset from the capsule was so awesome. There were a korean couple on the capsule with us. They were so sweet, taking pictures together, enjoying the view together. It wasn’t that bad for me too. Enjoying the great view from the top and for a moment, I was at the top of the world.
Two things that fascinated me were how the wheel works and also the miniature of the integrated resort. The picture of the IR can be seen in one of the pictures. It was so real from how I took it. And how this thing works, how they manage to spin the ENTIRE wheel. When I was on it, I was busy thinking what would happen if this whole thing crashes and if we would die. I guess if it ever crashes, it would be the whole wheel.Â
Overall, it was an awesome experience not to be missed. Really happy that I managed to experience it (: If I have a chance, I would go on it at night and enjoy the lights. Or maybe even go on it where there are fireworks like one of the postcards I saw in the souvenir shop !
Celebrating Value’s Day
Mar 16th
Sick. Darn. Luckily voice still intact.
Yesterday was Celebrating Values Day ! Finally it has arrived after our long plannings and hard work that contributed to a successful haunted house. There were hiccups here and there. A little sad for some point of time. Well. Let’s start this is a orderly manner shall we ?
At the start of the day, helped Jeannette to make the .. What’s that called ? -.- The SIGNBOARD ! Yeah. Then tried to help Jennifer, Belinda, Jeannette and Sungha(not sure if the spelling is right) make up. Jennifer was really scary. She’s CRAZY. Nominated the best ghost ever. For those who didn’t went it, shall tell you why in a couple of minutes.
Make up for ghosts. It’s quite easy. Three simple stuff that we need and we’re done. Powder, eyeliner and red lipstick.
Jeannette, Jennifer and mortal WeiQin 
A little shaky here ><” Oh gosh . I just realised there’s something at the back of the cupboard ! ><”Â
Jennifer is REALLY SCARYÂ
After that, they started the sale and Chen Hong was our first customer ! He wanted to drag someone in too then I said ” why not one person ? isn’t it more scary like this ? ” He was all for it answering me “Bring it on !”
Then, I went to record for talentime finals ! Before that were a few performances . First up was Ibrahim and Humairah . Shocked. He sing not bad. He kept asking me if his singing was okay. LOL. . Then it was Jasmine’s turn ~ She was really nervous but it was great (:
Talentime performance ! Only manage to take them because my phone no memory ): But it’s really nice ! Was sad that I couldn’t record WeiQin and TzeQin’s performance. Was fascinated by Lynnette’s performance. First time I hear her sing and it’s wow. LOL . Quite surprised and I think they won first. But it’s based on votes. Was quite sad that WeiQin and TzeQin didn’t get first place but I think it’s because Lynnette’s group had no hiccups at all. In the middle, they also went a little off tune while Lynnette’s one was okay. But the feeling was a little too mono, without any climax or anything. But it was a great performance. Enjoyed all of it. Was actually quite glad that I got to record the performance ! (:
Went back to do my shift. Did some weird makeup which didn’t matter at all because it was pitch black inside. When I just went in, I was banging against all the tables then everyone was like “ehh the ghost banging” . LOL . A bit lame -_- Oh well. But I can’t see x.x Had to sit for really long till my eyes got accustomed to the darkness. It was quite sad actually because the people really can’t see a thing so the make up and stuff were wasted.
The third room was a little slacky . Mostly due to the lack of light and also, the first room was too scary. They made all the small kids cry. I think the only kid that didn’t cry was Mr Ho’s but it was obvious that he was frightened because he kept shouting “DON’T THINK YOU CAN SCARE ME. GO AWAY” . So funny. We were laughing like crazy.
We were also quite disappointed by those who came in just to show that they won’t scared. I mean what’s the point? But there were also many that were really scared and they just showed their emotions. I loved the group that has a guy at the front and all girls behind. A little bias :X ‘Cause the guy is cute . LOL . He didn’t act like he wasn’t scared and all. Didn’t put up a front like those in front . Those that pretend they won’t scared, we didn’t really bother to scare them . I mean there’s no point. For this group, it was really funny. I mean we could see that he was scared. YangJie double combo him . As in he scared him twice in a row . Because there was this linkway that was connected by the cupboard.Â
YangJie was hiding in it. When the guy walked passed, YangJie flashed his torch and the girls behind screamed and he turned behind and saw YangJie. He said “SIA-LA” really loudly and got dragged back by the guys behind. So he walked through that way again and YangJie flashed his torch again and he got scared again. He was screaming. So cute :X LOL . After a few seconds, it was my turn to scare him . Again, he shouted. It was really funny ! Cute cute ~ Whee ~
I was really mad at some people ! They went to pour candle wax on my friend’s hand . It’s like ?! Can’t believe some people can be so inconsiderate and rude. Hey ? We don’t collect money for you to hurt us. By doing this, it just showed us how childish you are to not even consider about other people’s feelings. Please, spare a thought for others !Â
The other class was better than expected. Everyone was really fun. We all had the same goal which was to scare the hell out of everyone who paid. Even Mdm Koh came in and we kind of took “revenge” . We were joking that she would come and lecture the ghosts . LOL . The teachers that accompanied her were really scared too . Success ! Thanks for patronizing yeah ! 
It’s great that she’s such a good sport. Even the dunking machine thing was awesome. I think the dunking machine earned a lot because they would only dunk Mdm Koh when 1000 bucks is raised. And around 2pm they dunked her. So I think they earned quite a lot.
Thanks ChiWei and Derek for coming in ! They were like shouting Eng Hwee where are you through the journey inside. So hilarious In the end I went to stand beside ChiWei and kept whispering her name. Then she replied saying that she can’t see at all and I adviced her to drink more carrot juice . LOL . So funny . Derek as well, couldn’t see anything at all. Thanks SyehYin, YuanXi and Cs for coming. Sorry that I couldn’t go out and find you guys because once we get out of the room, we would waste a lot of time to let our eyes get used to the darkness. So it’s a little troublesome . But I did meet Derek and ChiWei. Sorry WenJia for making you keep coming and calling me out xDD
Presenting to you, AISS ghost ! :X All the AI people said the same thing when they saw me . ” WAA . NO RESPECT FOR THE UNIFORM” Heh Sorry ~ Had to sacrifice it . No worries I’ve another one in my cupboard . LOL .
A smiling ghost !
Was angry in near the end of the day because so many people were missing ! In the end the first room only had YanShan(not sure of spelling) and Jolene ! Which was really pathetic ! At first it was 5 ! And the point was, YanShan wasn’t EVEN part of the both classes and he put in so much effort and where were the people that were supposed to be on shift ? It was disappointing to see this side of our classmates. And some people didn’t even have their lunch at all . One of them was me . I didn’t complain because I wasn’t really hungry but spare a thought for others who really want to grab a bite please .
Overall, we had a great time . Sad that we had to shut the haunted house due to the heavy rain which destroyed our linkway. We earned a total of $1625 ! We could have earned more if we didn’t delay the opening time and the maintainence time but it was a success eventually . Great job guys ! Haunted house really do appeal huh ? (: A great experience I won’t ever forget .
Silence
Mar 15th
I’m tired of showing others what they perceive me to be. It’s really irritating when they just talk without thinking. Ever wondered how it might hurt others? It’s really true I guess. They say that when you’re too nice, they just step on you. Yeah. Isn’t that true? I thought that perhaps it’s time I stop being so mean to everyone. Then, everyday it just keeps on coming.
A little jokes are fine but sometimes they just don’t understand people have limits do they? When you get angry, they don’t shut up and just thought that you’re kidding. I’m not as nice as you think I am. And lately I get the mentality that I’ll rather be alone than spend it with people that don’t understand.
And how I wish I have the strength like before to just tell them to “shut up” in the face when I just can’t take it. Why are people so insensitive nowadays? Don’t they understand that everyone has a limit? Besides, I feel really bad when I vent my anger on others. Sorry to whoever there talks to me then. I hope you understand .. I just can’t seem to control my emotions lately.Â
For those who just can’t stop, shut up now. For the others, leave me alone because there’s much more mean stuff that I could spout right now . It might not be on intention or on impulse, but right now everything is just the same…
It’s better to be silent than spout useless words.
Never do something that might hurt others,
whether intentionally or not.
