update

yet another update because too many events happened and i don't wanna create a blog entry for each and every event! so be prepared for the long post.

first up, 4D adventure land!!

went with claudia and mx, and bcuz we were shameless we got a discount for the tickets. HAHAHA. so yeah we planned to play 4D adventure land and luge+skyride, but it rained heavily in the afternoon so the luge plans were cancelled. although there's only 4 attractions in 4DAL (4D Adventure Land), we somehow managed to pass the day and didn't really get particularly sick of any ride.

started off with extreme log ride! really excited since it's the first ride and it lived up to my expectation! though it could be above my expectation if they added more thrilling elements inside. HAHA. then we played the shooting game, and omg claudia got 1st!! HAHAAH and her photo was featured. then we watched happy feet & journey 2 (?) then re-played/re-watched the rides again before heading for lunch.

after lunch, as stated earlier, we planned to play luge & skyride but the weather's not on our side, so we went with 4DAL again. the shooting game was the most played, and every single time only mx & claudia got featured (top 3)!! i wasn't even in the top few that they listed. it's really sad. so i kept playing and playing and finally, i got first. HAHAHAHAHA omg. and i did a stupid pose and then everybody present laughed when my big photo appeared and i looked so ridiculous. but okay who cares at least they laughed. and i got featured too. so i'm happy. HAHAHAHA

after that, went to vivo to walk but i spent quite long in toy outpost deciding which akb merchandise to get. sorry claudia & mx! ^^;

secondly, christmas! spent x'mas with mx, yx & bs!! ^^ ♥

went to watch Frozen with them and it's a really, really good movie!! i recommend everybody to go catch it. if not you'll be living with regrets.

after that headed to science centre but stopped at jurong cuz mx's eyes were red so she needed eyedrops HAHAAHAH. then yay science centre!! had pretty good memories there when i was a kid, went there like many many times. so i was pretty excited. but tbh this time round, it got boring. sigh, i'm really growing up aren't i. those scientific things don't excite me that much anymore and yeah. i hate growing up.

but after that, snow city!! long queue but we skipped it because we bought a package at science centre! HAHAHA. preparation was annoying as usual cuz so many things to take note of. then we finally entered!! super super super excited cuz snow, even if it's fake. snow city was still fun unlike science centre ♥

then mx, yx & bs decided to slide down the slope thing! but i didn't dare cuz of a phobia formed when i was young. (i went to slide on a slope last time and they pushed me down backwards and it was FREAKING SCARY I SWEAR. my butt hurt like shit.)

and after they took 2 rounds i finally plucked up courage to go and do this. cuz yolo. anywayyyyy i finally overcame my phobia! and it isn't as scary as i thought!! THIS IS A NICE DAY INDEED ♥

so yup this pretty much sums up my christmas! super super fun day!!

thirdly, countdown!!!! really cherish this event a lot cuz it was with Jeanius & Jeanette ♥♥

my 2nd counting down with Jeanette, and first with Jeanius! was pretty excited!! started queuing for red carpet at 10am. and doors open at 7pm. 9 hrs of queuing, sigh. the queuing process was rather tedious mentally cuz after lunch i came back to an ants infested area and i couldn't sit comfortably. had to keep looking out for ants that can never seem to die. AND one red ant was on my thigh and another red ant was on my face. THIS IS SUPER TRAUMATISING I SWEAR. ;;

Jeanette bought this for us. A really thoughtful person ♥

surprisingly time passed reasonably fast and soon it was 6pm and everybody stood up! but then we had to stand for about an hour before we could go in. this is stupid HAHAHA. mediacorp forever so slow in handling events, ticket stated 6:30pm entry time but only went in at 7pm. after the bag check we had to run cuz everybody was running. I HATE RUNNING SO MUCH ;;

then waited for another hour and it rained in between. but luckily God answered my prayer and the rain stopped in maybe 10 mins or so, and we were blessed with good weather after that!! Thank you God ♥

then, event started and Jeanette, together with Elvin & Ruien were the first to walk! after that, was supposed to head to our seats to relax until the performance starts but because mediacorp, many troubles arised. couldn't go to our seats and i don't even know why. but eventually overcame them and successfully went to our seats. then waited until red carpet was over.

Jeanette's performance was one of the first few so we didn't have to wait very long. at the same time, i was keeping track on when akb's performance will be so that i can watch the live stream. Jeanette's & AKB's performance almost clashed, akb was right after Jeanette's!! but after Jeanette's, we had to run, literally run, to mrt cuz jeanette will be performing at jurong and we had to be there before her performance. and i didn't want to miss akb's performance so i just put my phone next to my ear and ran.

when akb finished one song, there was this mini MC where they'll just talk the usual stuff. but then suddenly, (cuz i wasn't watching the performance, i was just listening), i heard yuko's voice. and it didn't sound normal. it sounded.. serious. then i heard 'sotsugyo' and i knew things weren't right. i immediately looked at my phone's screen and i saw takamina burst into tears. i knew it was real. then cuz i had twitter notifications on for new tweets by various akb fan accounts, i saw a notification saying 'Oshima Yuko just announced her graduation from AKB48 on Kouhaku'. i swear a chill just went through my whole body. i literally ran with my mouth open. and since i was running to mrt, i suddenly couldn't walk steadily and then i lost my voice for a few minutes.

and since it was so messy and crowded, and i lost all focus cuz i was still in shock from the announcement, i dropped my phone. sigh. finally recovered from the shock when we reached the mrt, about 5 minutes later. after that i brushed this matter off my mind and focused on reality.

at 11pm, finally reached jurong and settled down!! Jeanette's performance was just the next one, so we didn't have to wait. Jeanette sang 2 songs, one english & one chinese. and her voice is just ♥♥♥. after the event, went to find Jeanette at somewhere where public couldn't enter. took group photo with her then GROUP HUG!!!! ♥

after that Jeanette left, and we left after a while.

really dramatic day!! supposed to be a happy night but Yuko's announcement shook me rather badly. but i still enjoyed it because Jeanette. spent the last moments of 2013 and the first moments of 2014 with her. life is good. ♥

on Yuko's graduation, well.. i'm obviously sad. i dreamt of her two nights in a row. and i get even sadder when i watch past performances with Yuko inside, and well.. but anyway, since Yuko is graduating, shall dedicate this part to "advertise" for something:

(yay oshiri above hahahahaahaaha ok don't mind me)

Yuko wotas are on a project to increase the views for Heavy Rotation (a hit song, and Yuko's the centre of the song) to 100 million (2 millionish more to go) and to increase sales for Heavy Rotation to 1 million copies (140k more to go). it's kind of like a present to Yuko before she graduates. and Yuko said she probably wouldn't be returning to the music scene, so it's like leaving a mark before she graduates and leaves the music scene for good.

(oh i just realised i haven't explained who Yuko is. Yuko is a super, super, super prominent member in the group and was there when the group was formed (2nd generation) and well, she's super super prominent and  popular and meeting her is super hard, compared to other members. and her leaving will significantly affect AKB.)

if you don't wanna buy the CDs, do give Heavy Rotation a watch! it won't hurt you and it's a pretty good song too.

THANK YOU!

lastly, new year's day!! spent it with mx & claudia at sentosa ♥♥♥

since we couldn't play luge & skyride previously due to bad weather, this is like a make-up session for it! sort of. LUGE IS SUPER FUNNNN. mx drives really slow HAHAHAHAHAHA. but it's super super super fun!! and mx got another crush again ^^;

luge is super exciting and skyride is super fun! almost bought 2 more rides but scraped the idea in the end. after that, walked to uss, bought popcorn which is super good cuz cheese flavoured! then stood outside uss and stared at the people inside with sad eyes. HAHAHA

AND I BOUGHT A HELIUM BALLOON!!! :-) people were staring and it got weirder and i received more stares as i went from sentosa, a tourist attraction to my house, a neighbourhood. but who cares HELIUM BALLONS ARE LOVE ♥♥ i felt like a child.

after that since we had nothing to do in sentosa anymore, we went to vivo and walked! mainly daiso. then dinner at hk cafe then shopping! but nothing caught our eyes. so we went home at about 6.

a really fun day indeed!! ♥
