O LEVELS ARE OVER!

Sorry, I know this is pretty late. I mean, it has been almost 10 days since the last day of O's. But I was just kinda too unbothered or tired (since I've been going out quite a lot). But finally. A good release, huh? That day, we took some pictures at Jurassic Park (it's this HUGE green space out back of the school), jumping and throwing our umbrellas, yelling to the illegal immigrants in said forest. "It's over!" It's over. At last! Will post them pictures when I've bothered to upload them. You know the hassle with these things nowadays.

2008-06-11T22:35:00.002+08:00

WOW.

You know what? I haven't been blogging in ages. But blame that on schoolwork, really. Sec 3 and 4 have been really hectic, and when it hasn't been hectic, I would rather do something else than blog, which explains my lack of the latter lately. By now you would probably know that I am obsessed with Michael J Fox (okay, it's sort of tapered down since last year), but otherwise I still like him very much, as you can see from the past few posts =) Anyway I shan't go on about him because I don't even know how much space I'd take up if I did that =P.
So yeah, blogging's out. Or is it? People don't blog anymore? It's no longer a fad? I actually kind of enjoy it, writing like this. In fact, I have so many things to just pour out, and this post might actually be a pretty long one, to make up for the billion years I haven't updated on you guys, haha. But enough small talk. I shall first begin with school, since it is my main occupation (after all, I am a student). School is, well, nyeh, if you put it. Ho-hum, same things everyday? For weeks? And months? Surprises me how people can't get tired of it. I know I can sometimes, but otherwise friends and certain subjects cheer me up =) Like right now, I'm having the June holidays and I have no idea why, but I just can't seem to put myself at the table to do some real, good, solid work. I'm totally upset at myself of course. Not to mention feeling guilty, gross, empty, and the list goes on. And then I try to get myself to study, but it's only for awhile, like I can't concentrate for long, not like during the school days. What is this, holiday mood? If so, I hate it. I hate it so much. I hate feeling guilty and empty and don't-feel-like-studying-ish. I would rather study because it actually gives me a very nice satisfaction after I do it...like wow, you know. But now, not wow. Really. Ugh. I got to pick myself up. I really hope this doesn't go on for long. Fine. I resolve. I resolve to do this properly, I resolve to set some targets as to what I want to achieve for my own studies and topics I want to cover. I have to do this. I just have to.
Okay. So that was (or rather, is) my problem with school and work since it's the holidays and everything. Do people really feel like this during the holidays? I mean, do they feel like they just can't sit there and memorise stuff for long? For some funny reason, I think everyone is busy working their heads off, which is why I feel so darn guilty about this. Ugh. But just pouring my heart out. Really.
NOW let's move on. Finally, since I got that out. Yeah, you know, I have suddenly taken a real interest in sci-fi flicks and lit after watching BTTF. And I don't mean alien invasions from outer space and lame space cadet outfits. No. I mean time travel! Isn't it so awesome to have that invention (if we did)? I mean, wouldn't it be cool to step into another era? While looking up this whole time-travel-sci-fi thing, I came across lots of extremely exciting time travel terms. Like Temporal Paradoxes. This refers to the paradox a time traveler could create if he went back in time and introduced even a minute change into the environment. For example, the Grandfather paradox. Let's say Marty, the time traveler, goes back to the time when his grandfather was born, and kills him. Now this would be a paradox because he has killed his own grandfather even before his father was born, which means that he could not have been born, therefore erasing his own existence. This results in a causality loop, which is actually where a cycle is 'broken', and in this case, the time traveler Marty who is currently existing, has no past because he has killed his own grandfather before his father was born. Get it? Quite cool, yes. Then another term, the 'Can-Not Because Has-Not theory'. This theory states that the present is not the forefront of time, and so actually we are our future selves' past (interesting, huh?). Thus, if sometime in the future a time travel device were created, someone from the future would have already brought it back to us, thus establishing itself as "already" existing in our time as a result. Since our present selves are still wondering about time travel, this theory states that we will never be able to build a time machine, because if we are still wondering, then no one from the future has built a time machine and brought it back with them to us, and if no one in the future has built a time machine, then we in the future will not build a time machine, and no one can ever build a time machine because no one in the future has built one. This theory, however, creates a causality loop (again! A paradox). Then there is the Butterfly Effect, which is explained by the timeline corruption hypothesis. It is somewhat like the Grandfather Paradox, where even a minute change by the time traveler to the past can result in serious changes in the future when the time traveler returns to his original time. For example, in BTTF, the 2015 Biff (I say 2015 because Marty and Doc went to 2015 and this is where Biff comes in) stole the time machine and went back to 1955 with a 20th century sports almanac (you know the book that contains all the past winnings in sports in the 20th century), and passed it to his young self. This attempt is so as to enable Biff to enter a get-rich-quick scheme, whereby, Biff, now having all the winnings, can simply bet on any sport game and win. Thus when Marty and Doc returned to 1985 from 2015, they were shocked and surprised because many unfortunate things had happened, and the place was chaotic and ashambles, not resembling the 1985 that they originally hailed from. Obviously, this alternate 1985 was the result of the young 1955 Biff obtaining the sports almanac and therefore changing the wealth distribution over time. Although the change was minute, it resulted in changes which were amplified over the years. This is why it is very dangerous to send someone back to the past without them leaving something beind, because for all you know, this may result in changes to the environment, people questioning the change, and then in turn changes to the world as we know it. Evident in Ray Bradbury's short story 'A Sound of Thunder'. An astounding story. Ray Bradbury is the best. I am so glad we have Fahrenheit 451 as our lit book =)
Okay...this post is really too long now, and so I think I shall stop here. But I'll be back...!

2007-05-22T14:48:00.000+08:00

why am i here now?? ehh...i was sick and was excused from obs. just wanna THANK JIAP for accompanying me when i was in pain! thanks pal...oh and about jiap, some really funny incidents in school happened...

IODINE INCIDENT
we were in the science lab doing our bio experiment on testing the limiting factors for enzyme action i think (you know, the factors which limit the rate of a reaction such as the availability of the enzymes, and temperature? and obviously enzymes help to decrease the activation energy needed so obviously the rate of raction would be increased duh!)..yah and so like i was saying...we were dropping the iodine drops with the pipette onto the white tile but it was left there a while so some drops were becoming faded, like evaporating. then i realised there was one particlular spot at the side of the tile where one drop had totally disappeared. i was like, 'what if i touched it??'. i checked my sleeve...oops, yeah i did. BUT BUT i knew jiapp was gonna like ask me what happened so i thought i'd better tell her first. and then stupid me went to say, 'oh jiap, i think this drop evaporated.' and she was like, giving me her USUAL sarcastic look, 'it evaporated or you touched it??'...and i, looking quite sheepish, showed her the big iodine spot on my sleeve, said 'i think i touched it'. and that makes a perfectly funny joke. =)

ah so funny its like totally weird we're lab partners cause we end up goofing most of the time. i'm really quite bad at practicals when we're doing in pairs as jiapp says in her usual sarcastic way 'diane you're so good at this'..but she ah...really sotong also. so us two sotongs, sitting there, dunno what to do, get all mixed up and in the end got to copy the results from someone else. OH OH plus jiapp keeps complaining about the smell of the amylase like dog shit or something! like total weirdness lahah!

aiyah! gotta go do physics now. you know physics got a lot to do...like 20 qns (those kind of essay qns) or something from the tys...!

Oh man, you know what???? I don't know why people think CNY is boring...its quite fun okay, I mean especially when we go visitng (because my cousin's houses are all so nice heheh =)). Yes yes, anyway, like I said, last night we went to my cousin's house and he just moved into a new house you see, so its like he moves every two years or something! Yes yes but anyway the point is that his new house has a roof garden and a jacuzzi in it!!! But no I didn't get to take a dip in it, unfortuantely. Yes yes anyway I was just at the roof garden playing with my cousins (you know the age gap is so wide I don't even have cousins my own age) this shooting game and so my older cousins were shooting the rubber bands at my baby cousin and I was like STOP! Don't hurt an INNOCENT CHILD! Aiyoh aiyoh next time I'll just put up the pictures and you'll see what I mean lah.

I couldn't resist but upload this picture of me doing a facial at Natalie's house last year (2005).
Visitors of my old blog will find this familiar, but those new to seeing me in different settings will
definitely laugh in wonder. She's that vain? Well, I most certainly am, and proud of it!

2006-12-11T18:24:00.000+08:00

I've got more pictures up. Yep, there's one of my guinea pig, a few from my Mandeville Concert on Dec 03 and a sky rockin' one of Ricky's head in a stocking. Speaking of stockings, it's the Christmas season! Jolly toho! Enjoy. =)

my own television (I kind of paused the show
halfway while I was watching it and took my
camera out!) !

Yoohoo. I've got more pictures of Mr and Mrs Beau. What am I saying?

From the "Lost I LOVE LUCY Pilot Episode":

The scene here is that the-crazy-over-show-business Lucy, is taking the place of Pepito the clown, to perform at Ricky's club. But Ricky doesn't know this of course. He's feeling dumpy later when he realises Lucy's got the contract and not him. Ricky's reason for not letting Lucy into show business? She must cook and clean and hand him his pipe and be good and act like every other wife does.

AT THE CLUB:
"Haw,.....I'm lookin' fer Mr Risky Riskerdo. You know Mr Risky Riskerdo??..." (Looks around, asks around)
Ricky, hearing this says, "Yes, I'm Ricky Ricardo."
Lucy turns around at hearing his voice and shakes his hand, saying, "Nice ta meet yer! But...yer not Risky Riskerdo. I'm looking fer Mr Risky Riskerdo!"
Ricky, finally realising it's Lucy, slaps his hand to his forehead. Aiyaiyaiyaiyai.

LATER AT HOME:
Ricky comes home, moping about, refusing to talk to Lucy because SHE got a contract, and not him. So Lucy asks him, "Honey, what's the matter?" Ricky answers, "You know whats the matter."
"But what can I do if they offered me the contract and not you? What do you want me to do about it?"
" You know what I want you to do about it. I want you to be like every other wife... like handing me my pipe! Cook! Clean!"
" Oh, that's exactly what I've been doing, I've been cleaning and cleaning and cooking and cooking ever since I came back (from the club)!"
"And Ricky....honey, I've got a surprise for you, something that'll make you very happy. Something you've been waiting for for a very long time."
And Ricky jumps at this, thinking Lucy is trying to tell him she's pregnant and he says, "Really Lucy?? Oh wow. So soon? Me, a..."
Lucy interrupts him at this point and says, " Yep, I cooked your favourite pie!"
Ricky rolls his eyes and leans in to kiss her.

THE END.

Hooyeah. The Mandeville concert on 3 Dec was a blast. Had a lot of fun with my brother's band...(was it "Amorath and the Potato Chips"?), and we had a lot of fun together as one whole Saxophone/Clarinet ensemble. Deanna, I had no idea you go to Mandeville. Same to you, Suyi. And guess what I was wearing? Heheh, 50's style suspenders, 3/4-sleeved office shirt and black concert pants. Now THAT'S jazzy. I DIDN'T want to wear the dress, it didn't suit the fact that I was playing the saxophone. Haha, I can't get over the fact that we screwed up the ending! I NEED to buy the DVD because I think I accidentally played extra notes...the ending was supposed to be together but it was like, all extra sounds and all. Haha! But we still had fun, and when I asked Mr Ivan (he's Bulgarian, so his name is pronounced Eevahn) whether we screwed the last part, he slapped me on the back and half-laughed, half-said-yes sort of thing! He was like, *slap*, "Ye-ah-ha-ha!". And I couldn't contain myself so I just burst. Heheh, He's funny, but I like him.

Plus I've been reading Desilu: The Story of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, the one which I bought from Amazon.com. It's really good. Real juicy bits of information on television in the 50s. And did you know that more than 40 million people had tuned in to I LOVE LUCY in those days every week? Amazing. No show I've ever known since I was born could command that large an audience, not even Seinfeld, which I too enjoy. And that was in the 90s. Oh, I cannot stop thinking about that gorgeous hunk of deliciousness - Desi Arnaz - and his talented babe of a wife Lucille Ball.

They are just classics, y'know. She was the first woman to ever be president of a television company. He was a man with amazingly good photographic memory and a mathematic mind. A real genius. Their divorce shocked the country. It was too bad to be true. They were the couple in those days. Nobody ever thought there was anything wrong between them. Oh but the lies, the deceit, the affairs. She tried to hide it. But the public caught on. On May 4, 1960, she stood before the judge, thinking that this, oh, was the number 1 failure in her life, that this, oh, would probably ruin her career, that this, oh, would mean the end of a relationship with the man she truly loved. And she never loved another. He passed away, last hearing Lucy's words 'I Love you' on the phone. The thing about I LOVE LUCY was that it wasn't just another slapstick comedy. It wasn't just another thing which people watched because it was the latest fad. But because the people knew, they knew in their hearts, that I LOVE LUCY was true.

TODAY'S A FRIDAY!

Haw. Today, I'm bored. Did my fair share of work and am just basking in this fake sunlight. You think I'd get my Vitamin Ds.

Ohh!...Darn it, you guffoon! Ain't you buyin' me that old dingy skin diving suit now, eh!? Just swell, using some old 50s lingo here, eh! What 'bout them 80s? Gag me with a spoon! That's SO rad and tubular...haw!

Back to the 50s....

I ain't doin' that for you now, baby. Either that or I'm spoilt. Yawl gonna keep on doin' like your doin'? 'sides dahling, can't yawl get a good laugh at this now??

Or, for the more learned:
Oh, honestly, Fred! Ricky's always going around mad, and I simply don't know why, but he takes his anger on the prick-a-prack, and not me. Isn't that swell?

Oh yeah, let's just stop that lingo. Anyway, me, Diane, the crazed fan of I LOVE LUCY, the world's most watched TV series, is back with MORE photos! I have the whole set (all 7 seasons, 180 episodes) at home so I know which photos belong to which epidodes. Enjoy!

Yay, today we had so much fun at the Prefect Meeting! We were filming some trailer for Valentines Day 2007, and we dressed up like the Seven Dwarves. The other Diane was Snow White. I was Dopey. Heh. Dopey was meant to be stupid, so if you guys see the trailer next year, then you'll know why I'm acting...the way I'm acting! It's really funny, and after that we went to Island Creamery! I've never been there before, but the Apple Pie ICE CREAM (yes, ice cream), was delish! Had a great time. Hope to do it again! Thanks guys!

Does anyone watch So You Think You Can Dance? I think it's a lovely show, and being a dancer myself, I like to watch their techniques and styles of dancing! Amazingly, did you know Singapore is around at least 6 episodes slower than the US? Because I just checked the official website, and Benji Schwimmer is the winner. You know that scrawny geeky kid look-a-like? Yeah, that's him. You know the guy who tried to build up his masculinity power in attempts to be more like Dmitry Chaplin? Yeah, that's him. Speaking of Dmitry Chaplin, don't you think he's HOT? Blazing! Pst! I think he's also a great dancer! Plus his body is like on FIRE all the time, he hasn't got even 1 square centimetre of fat on him. Blah! And his dancing is just like 'sex on the dancefloor'. Wooh. 'If sex sells, then you guys just made a million bucks.'(Not directed to Dmitry but I'd definitely say that about him). OOH! AND that IRRESISTABLE accent...

Wooh! I know what class I'm in. Class 3o. And I'm happy with it. In a nutshell:

- Triple Science Class
- My good friend Hannah Lee is in this class
- Only 25 people in the class, and most are from my Sec 2 class (plus 8 international scholars)

FOR PHOTOS PHOTOS PHOTOS, PLEASE SCROLL DOWN. THANKS!

Aiyah, I'm so lame. I know you guys love seeing photos, so here's a couple of random ones. Enjoy. =)

I LOVE LUCY THEME SONG

I love Lucy and she loves me,
We're as happy as two can be.
Sometimes we quarrel but then,
Oh, how we love making up again.

Lucy kisses like no one can,
She's my missus and I'm her man,
And life is heaven you see,
when I love Lucy and I love Lucy and Lucy loves me!

Aw, isn't that nice.

Today's just an ordinary day. I did French and Maths and History today. Plus some reading. You know what? Today during lunch I just figured out I'm going to be watching these two shows everyday from 11.00 to 12.00 on Channel 5. The first show is Two and a half Men. It's so funny! I like it a lot, and I think it's going to be put under my faves. The second is Yan Can Cook. I know that's an old show but you can learn so many cooking skills from him plus the food really looks good. Mmm.

2006-11-19T21:02:00.000+08:00

Yay, I think we're going to watch CASINO ROYALE either tomorrow or Friday! Can't wait! Tomorrow I have to go to school to get some school books. So I don't know if we'll have time tomorrow. Besides, Kor kor (I feel awkward spelling it like this! I usually spell it koh koh) has school, Daddy has work and Mummy's teaching (in the afternoon on Mondays)...Let's see...tomorrow I'll go pick up my books in the morning, but before that I think I better do a bit of studying...French? Or what? Hmmm...since I got my History books already, then maybe I should get started. Besides, this year I really am starting late - last year I started on the 10th November or something! It's already the 19th and I haven't started yet, pobably because I couldn't get all the books at once...but I MUST start History or something tomorrow. And I HAVE to do French, and practice my saxophone too. Oh yeah, I forgot to add that my French exam is on the 3rd of December so I really need to do that. Other than that, I really have to get started on the other school work because I really feel so guilty not studying...plus I have been shopping online quite a lot lately and I just need to quit that now! From tomorrow onwards, I have to lay down some rules for myself. Like, NO going online for more than 1h. NO more shopping online (pay up for the last of what I ordered and just STOP going anymore). Set some targets too, like do at least 4 or 5h of studying daily (I have to). Do at least 1h of French, History, Social Studies, (A) Math, and read through the sciences first. PRACTICE saxophone at least once a day! MUST really start before going on the Japan trip because after that I really have no time already!!!

Nat sent me these neoprints of me and her.
This was taken right after exams, 11 October 2006,
when I still had long hair! But it was so fun then lah!

2006-11-17T22:56:00.000+08:00

Wow...had a fabulous day today. Watched STEP UP (a dancing movie, somewhat alike to TAKE THE LEAD, not suprised if it was directed by the same guy) together with Nikki (Hui Xin) and Grace (Hui Jia), my two best godsisters! Plus, we took neoprints together and went shopping at Far East! Had a REALLY good time, heh. I bought this Marilyn Monroe vintage brooch thing (plus its REAL vintage)...and being a crazy lover of vintage stuff, I saw many skirts and dresses and stuff and was overwhelmed by temptation *GULPS* and I NEED to go back to Far East Plaza to get that SKIRT, because I didn't have enough money to buy it then, it cost $33.90 (pst, I only had like, $55 in my purse, and that's considered little when you wander the streets of Singapore)! Anyway, I am just dying to see Casino Royale! Heheh, I think that...who is that? Oh yeah, that Daniel Craig guy is quite hot lah, I MEAN HIS BODY! And so is Channing Tatum...HIS BODY! Phew. Glad I got that point across, and NO they are NOT cute! EEEE! Can't wait to go to Japan! Can't wait for Christmas! But need to get some work done first...

2006-11-17T11:06:00.000+08:00

Here are the pictures whch we took at our annual recital. Enjoy!

Okay. I've made the blogshop. Please go to kiraffair.livejournal.com. I haven't posted up pictures of the clothes yet but I've made the rules. Look out for updates.

Speaking of blogshops, I suddenly remembered the Lime Flea Market this Saturday. It definitely seems like a must. There are just so many vintage finds there, and I simply LOVE vintage. I've so many vintage clothes and accessories at home - you can just call me Miss Vintage Chic. Haha.

Oh and SHIT! Natalie's birthday, I've just found out, is on the 11th of November! OH NO! That's the date of my mum's Piano Recital. She has one every year. Oh great. Just what I need. Oh man...I so want to go to Natalie's birthday party! But she's sent out the invitations and there's definitely NO way she can change the date now. And neither can my mum change the date of the piano recital, because SHE'S sent out the invitations as well! Oh man, I'm screwed. How am I going to tell Natalie? What if she doesn't believe me and thinks that I just don't want to go. *Gulp* I hope not.

2006-10-25T12:58:00.000+08:00

Yes! Can't wait for my trip to Japan at the end of the year! I heard the stuff there are EXTRA expensive. Don't know if that's true or not. But whatever, I'm so going to have fun there. Besides, Japanese cuisines are one of my favourites, so when I go there EOY, I'll be able to grasp some AUTHENTIC Japanese food. Okay whatever, like I so don't know what to say now...

OH man, when I go home, I'm going to watch lots of TV. I love I Love Lucy. It's my favourite 50's show. Anyway, my favourite time era was in the 50s. This Lucy (Lucille Ball) is such a great actress, one of my role models, one of my favourite actresses of all time. I'm saying this now as a tribute to her, because I just watched the LAST episode of the LAST season last night. There are 6 seasons and 179 episodes in all, I think...if I'm not wrong. And her real husband, Desi Arnaz, is so cute. Heheh. Whoops. *Smiles Sheepishly*

So, you must wonder what's going on in my life now after the exams (or maybe not). Well, I'm having lots of fun with my great and bestest friend, Natalie. The other day (right after the exams), I went to her house and we had so much fun together. I mean, hello, we vowed to do all the things we did last year when I went to her house right after the exams, that is to bake, do a mini facial, soak our feet in that little bubbly foot scrubber of hers, etc. We didn't exactly do all those things, because we chose to go out instead. We went to cineleisure and wanted to watch John Tucker Must Die, but it was all out. Oh man, that Jesse Metcalfe is so HOT. I mean seriously. So we just took neoprints. I could swear that I looked exactly like her and this is most probably the reason why people think we're sisters. Anyway, I've been to her house 3 times ever since the exams ended and we've never stopped having fun. :)

Yesterday was Hari Raya so there wasn't any school. So, we (my family) went out to Vivo City. The place is so humongous, I could've gotten lost. There's a Zara, Mango, Forever 21, Topshop, Fila, etc. there (hello, there were so many that I can't even remember where I went!), Fox, and an M Phosis. The clothes at Fox and M Phosis are really nice. They suit me too, because I have a small frame and so their clothes really do their work on my body. Most of my clothes are from M Phosis or Fox, and I DO NOT BUY THINGS JUST BECAUSE OF THEIR BRANDS, but because they must look good on me, you know? Last night I was clearing my cupboard and I sought out at least 14 tops, 1 dress and 5 skirts I didn't want anymore. I think I'll be setting up an online blogshop so I can sell these items. I haven't come up with a name for the blogshop yet, but I'm still thinking :) Before that I was reading a book. It's called Jane Eyre and it was written in the 19th Century, so the English is really hard to understand, but I guess I did so through the context...it's a great book about a 10 year old girl and her hardships. Really interesting.

So anyway, on the blog, I STILL cannot find a suitable message board so currently there's none. By the way, enjoy the music. It's by Kenny G and called Summertime. Wonderful piece written by George Gershwin. Hmmm, I feel like I have something to remember. Oh yeah, on the 10th of November, is Lauren's and Shannen's birthday. In other words, Sam and Eric (LOTF Nicks- ASK HANNAH! I'm Piggy. I have no idea why. But I think he's chubby and cute. Haha.). They're sort of my good friends in class and I do suppose they're best friends, and they have the SAME birthday. Isn't that cool? Yeah, anyway, like I said, it's their birthday on 10 Nov and they're inviting me, as well as a few people from my class, and we're going to watch Material Girls! Yay. I wanted to watch that, although I DO NOT like Hilary Duff. There's also a class party. I've forgotten when but I have the invitation. I'll go look at it again when I go home. Also must practise my saxophone. I haven't touched it in a few days, and I sort of vowed to play it everyday after the exams. Whoops.

In school now. It's dead boring here...the minifair was such a disppointment. We're actually supposed to be at the minifair now, but what's there to do? I just bought 4 packets of beef jerky and am busy munching on one now. My jaw is so tired....I feel a reverse bite coming up. Yikes. Anyway, I can't wait to get my Sec 3 books so that I can just flip through it. I got into the 9-subject combination, and am taking triple science next year. Here are the subjects I chose:
English Language (Compulsory), Additional Mathematics (Compulsory), Elementary Mathematics (Compulsory), Chinese Language (Compulsory), 1/2 Social Studies, combined with 1/2 Literature, 1 History (I LOVE History), Physics, Biology and Chemistry.

2006-10-23T18:35:00.000+08:00

Hey, looking for pictures? Well, trouble is I can't get my photobucket account to work, and anyway, all of my pictures are in the other blog, which I can't access because I haven't gone in for such a long time that I forgot the password and the username, as well as the email I registered it in. So, anyway I'll just link you to that blog first for the pictures. When I get my photobucket account working, the photos'll come. Anyway, please please, whoever wants to be linked, email me now (that is, until I get a tagbox - too tired to do so now anyway).

WAIT UNTIL I GET A TAGBOX, DON'T FLOOD MY MAIL WITH QUERIES!!! Exercise some self-control and self-discipline, okay?

It has been so many days after the exams but I still can't get over the joy of it. It's so wonderful, like I haven't a worry in the world. For the next few posts, I'm going to be putting up pictures of the fun I had in Dance and with my bestest of all best friends I've ever had, Natalie. Stay tuned.
