END OF YEAR!
Thursday, December 27, 2012
Christmas is over and we are awaiting to welcome a brand new year ahead.
TIME REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY FLIES!
Before the Christmas week, I had a family outing with Mum and R. It was an advanced birthday celebration for him. We went to watch "Wreck-It Ralph" and I must say that it was such a heartwarming movie!
Check out the trailer here : Trailer!
Here's the write up about it taken from incinemas.sg
"From Walt Disney Animation Studios and Emmy®-winning director Rich Moore comes “Wreck-It Ralph,” a hilarious, arcade-game-hopping adventure. For decades, Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly) has been overshadowed by Fix-It Felix, Jr. (voice of Jack McBrayer), the good-guy star of their game who always gets to save the day. Tired of playing the role of a bad guy, Ralph takes matters into his own massive hands and sets off on a journey across the arcade through multiple generations of video games to prove he’s got what it takes to be a hero.
On his quest, Ralph meets tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun (voice of Jane Lynch) from the first-person action game Hero’s Duty, and feisty misfit Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Sarah Silverman) from the candy-coated cart racing game, Sugar Rush, who may just be his first real friend. But everything changes when a deadly enemy is unleashed, threatening the entire arcade and Vanellope herself. Ralph finally gets his chance to save the day—but can he do it in time? “Wreck-It Ralph” crashes onto the big screen on December 20, 2012, in Disney Digital 3D™ in select theaters."
I wouldn't want to spoilt the story for you but I'd give it a 3 and half popcorns outta 5 for this movie. It made me tear and it showed me a special meaning. The bad guy in the movie "Ralph" tries so hard to be a good person, to be a hero and to get recognition just like everyone of us, always trying to make something out of ourselves in our daily lives.
What are we all aiming for?
It's a cartoon movie about love, friendship and loyalty and I really loved it. I am not a fan of cartoon movies but this movie stole my heart totally! Go catch it!
I went to JB over the weekends with friends and had some really really good food! Not the usual lok-lok and "abalone noodle"! I also went for some damn good Thai full body massage over there. Most importantly, damn cheap also! I'll recommend it in my next post alright?
Chistmas Eve was spent counting down at Wild Oats @ Punggol Park with the ASF clique, my mum and my dear girls. I had fun there! Everything is good when I have good company!
Christmas Day was spent with another clique at Tanjong Beach, Sentosa. We were all having a great time until James got pricked/ he stepped on a sea urchin?!!! Or any other prickly object but it was most probably a sea urchin!!! I saw him limp his way in from the sea and I knew that he was in pain, we have such great telepathy!
Here are some unreleased photos. (Unreleased meaning I haven't published them on Facebook YET..)
This was taken on Christmas Eve while @ Wild Oats!
This was my one and only Christmas present this year! It was from Gabriel from the ASF clique and was so happy to receive a gift! There wasn't much feel for celebration this year.
And these were photos from Christmas Day!
My outfit of the day!
A really candid shot and I super love it cos the background made it look so chio. Made me chio as well. Hahahahaha. Chio is a hokkien slang for pretty by the way, if you don't already know!
Look at the 3 pin plug holes on my boyfriend's foot. So lucky of him to offend the sea urchin. I hope he didn't squash the poor sea creature. We spent almost 5 hours in Alexandra Hospital just to get this treated to... HAHA, super epic I know.
Another lovely shot with the girls.
Anyway, I know this is a kinda jumbled up end of year post that serves no meaning and doesn't actually sum up my 2012 but yeah, you could backtrack if you like and if you are new to my blog, welcome to my life!
I went to read back on the very first few posts I did in 2012 and I must say that I have matured a lot in this one year too. It's just been a year but I have achieved so so so so much! Who knew in January 2012 that I could be a published author at the end of the year? =) Getting emotional with gratitude again.
Today, I caught this awesome movie with the girls and James. What can I say?
It is the most awesome movie to end your 2012 with! I swear! I would remember at the end of next year that my 2012 ended with such a blast because I caught CZ12!
Book your tickets online now! Don't wait!
Till the next time, I guess I'd probably be blogging again on the last day of the year.
Xoxo! Thanks for reading!

Jackie Chan really never fails to amaze us! This is him at his best I must say! I have watched all his movies and they always get my adrenaline rushing in every scene. I love how his movies are always action packed and this time, it is packed with loads of humor as well! How can an action-packed movie added with so much laughter even disappoint anyone right?
I rate this movie a 5 outta 5! You should go catch it if you haven't! I've tried to catch this movie since last week but slots were always sold out! Seriously! I could be at the theater at like 4pm and the slot for the 10.20pm show was selling fast while the one at 7.30pm was SOLD OUT! This is really an awesome blockbuster and I wouldn't say no to watching it again! So blessed to have caught it today because Hui Qi booked the tickets early. I heard that this will be the last movie he is directing/ acting in. He will continue acting but just not in such action-packed movies anymore as he is aging and his bones won't be always able to withstand all the injuries from all his stunts. I am such a fan of him and I totally respect him!

An emotional wordy rant.
Wednesday, December 19, 2012
What a backdated blog I own, tsk. Lazy Snow is Lazy.
Recently, I have been working really hard and there are more jobs for me due to the Christmas season. I stopped taking allowances from my mother ever since I was 15 years old, I may not have mentioned this in my book but I have been feeding myself all these while, earning my own keeps.
Shamelessly, I dare to say that while many my age now may have savings of at least 2 to 5 thousand in their savings account, I have none. It's not that I spend a lot, in fact, I rarely spend at all. I used to have a full-time job earning from 1.2k a month to 1.8k per month. In the past, I had debts to help to pay for family members so I never got to any savings. I manage to get by but I could never have saved enough for a decent 10k at least to continue my studies for a private institution.
More people has read my book and I have received a fair share of encouragements on twitter where the sweet readers will tell me to be strong and move on with life. I also receive a fair share of very hateful feedback towards me. We all tell ourselves never to be affected but somehow, it always will, even for a short while.
Some are saying that I lied about my story and I fabricate a fake tale so as to gain sympathy and to gain popularity. Some ask me who do I think I am, some famous icon in SG? Some told me not to think too highly of myself. Hate comments about my looks than start to surface whenever I post a photo and claim that I am pretty. I like calling myself pretty and cute but I didn't ask anyone of you all to agree with me. It puzzles me why would people BUY my book, read it and than come and hate on me? Nobody forced you to buy the book, you could have walked pass it in the bookstore and not be the least interested to pick it up. But some ex-schoolmates apparently bought the book, whatsapped me and told me that they had bought it and than after went on social media to hate on me, about my looks, about me fabricating a tale, saying "Jolene's Story" was all fake and I wrote it to gain fame, earn money and gain sympathy.
Would you actually tell the whole world that your step-father had sexually abused you to gain fame? How ridiculous can you people get? I didn't choose to be sexually abused but I want to walk out of it and tell people about it not because I am happy to be violated but because I hope more girls can stop themselves from being violated! 1 particular ex-classmate even said that I thought I was some famous blogger, showing off on Twitter. Sweet strangers tweet me on twitter after reading my book and I appreciate all their valuable encouragement and feedback so I will retweet them and thank them sincerely for reading my story. I favorite all of their tweets because I know how to show appreciation. Who's the biggest loser out there? You people who are hating on me via social media, being hypocritical to me and all. WHY? Because you spent your money buying my book and also spent your time reading it. I may get affected by your hate for just a little while but after that, I am well again after my loved ones shower their concern and love over me.
Who do I think I am? I don't think I am anybody. I am still a normal person who has achieved her dream of being an author! I worked hard for what I want. I want to inspire a lot more people with my book locally and internationally. People say I am thick-skinned when I go and tweet famous celebrity icons to get them to read my book. Is it wrong to create awareness for my own book and do self-promotion? I write a book, it gets published.. Of cos I would want it to sell. Why would I want it sitting there in the bookstores without any owner?
If I really think that I am somebody, I wouldn't have to be working so hard to save for my school fees. I wouldn't be living life normally. I wrote in the book that I want to try acting. I go for auditions, I go for castings, I get rejected.. Life goes on and I try again! At least I am working hard for what I want right? I don't go to Geylang and sell my body or anything? I rely on nobody but myself. I could take the easy way out? Find a ultra-rich man, get married and just laze around but no, my life is filled with many hardships but it's okay, I'll find my way out of the hardships and make it through. I've had enough of you people taunting me and looking down on me. I have had it with my stepfather thinking he still has a threshold of making my life miserable. You people are super low-life and I can't be bothered to entertain any of you.
Call me ugly, call me a wannabe, call me a liar, call me whatever. I don't give a damn.
Till than. Xoxo.
