Nina's adventures: Church Camp and Crazy Friends

Hey guys.

Wow... I've been so busy I've like totally neglected blogging haha! 

Oh well, NINA IS BACK. And be prepared cause I'm gonna be blogging about my church camp this week! Yippie! But I'm not going to be talking about everything I did in detail but more about the new crazy idiotic and wonderful people I met <3 

I'm in my room now and it's so cold outside *shivers*

I'm listening to ALL TIME LOW :D

It was like a beach resort <3

Okay so we took a total of abut 3 coaches to Desaru? I'm not sure >< (Please don't kill me) My bus didn't really have much people I knew so I just sat at the back with 3 friends and played my ukulele hehe. (I hope I didn't irritate anyone) :p We reached the hotel and I stayed there before it was so dejavu. OKAY SAD PART. MY ROOM WAS LIKE 3 BLOCKS AWAY FROM EVERYTHING!!!!!!111!!!!!1!!!!!!!11111one one one. So every time we had to go somewhere, we had to like leave 5-10mins earlier *pouts*

TEAM OHANA FTW (Thats my group for the camp hehe we rock ^^)

The camp was super exhausting cause of the games and all (Tug-of-war almost ripped my hands off) But along the 4 days, I met new people and bonded with my old friends ^^ <-- Hehe old friends see what I did there claire? :3 The water games were the best :) 2nd last team standing not bad not bad :p

One of the most funny things yet disturbing was the monkeys. You see, we were eating at a somewhat open air, sheltered area and a monkey was on the roof opposite our eating area. I got kinda freaked out cause monkeys scare me. It was walking around when another one appeared so instinctively, I was just: OH the mommy is here to take the baby away. But ohhh man I was so wrong... The bigger monkey came over and started humping the smaller one and the whole place just erupted with laughter after a few seconds of silence. I was *poker face* and then when everyone started laughing, I couldn't help but join in. 

To start off, thrashing peoples rooms were the best. Just hanging out in the room eating, talking, playing UNO, watching sharmaine get sort of possessed. It was crazy and thinking back we must have disturbed like countless people, but I guess I can say it was worth it cause we had so much fun ;) We thrashed other rooms too but I won't elaborate on that :p later get into trouble! XP

Well, surprisingly, I got to know more people better over the phone :p I got prank called and the boys were taking turns to talk so I was just : whu- why- whuttt is happening D: and then my saviour Claire would come and scold them. But it was fun ^^ talking and disturbing people at 12-1am :p (HAHA sharmaine and Elijah) *evil laugh* haha next morning I'd get a morning call from Natalie with her shouting: GOOD MORNING. And I'd just be: Urgh... morning *imagine me saying this with a sexy voice like a low one XD*

Finally, the last night.

It

Was

The

Best

Y'all should thank me alright. Imagine if I hadn't downloaded charades D: Yea so I got to know so many crazy peeps better. It's funny... how such a simple game like that can bring so many people together! Acting the weird actions out, char rocking became humping *laughs* and singing out songs disturbing others. I can't stand it it was just so funny :3 

I can't believe that its over too. Like *snap* 4 days passed... But I'm really glad that I got to meet you guys and bond more with my other friends! It's kinda sad we only bonded on the last night too >:-( Haha but better late then never :D So lets do our best to serve and praise god!

Nina's adventures: ZAD the LIZARD

Hey guys! Back with a short entry of *drum roll* Nina's adventures!!!

Okay so it all started on a very very mundane Monday of a particular week. I was sitting in class as usual, trying to stay awake hehe during a certain class (I shall not mention the class name :P) So we were supposed to be referring to our notes. 

So, without any notes on my table, I reached underneath my desk to take out my whole book pile and began searching for the notes. 

And this is when you need to pay attention, if you want to have a laugh. While I flipped through my books, a tiny lizard head popped out of my book pile. And this is how I reacted.


*clam* hmm what the heck is that black thing

*starting to realise* WTH why is it moving

*PANIC* OMG ITS A FREAKING LIZARD'S HEAD

*PANICE X100000* throws everything onto the floor and runs out of class (I sit right next to the door)

It might not seem scary reading this but trust me, Imagine having a pile of books on your lap and searching through them, when a lizard head pops out! So I came back into class, with of course, everyone staring at me... 

My friend then comes over and picks up the lizard with her BARE hands and drops it about 5cm in front of me

Thanks...


So yea I was definitely awaken by that incident by everyone's laughter and possible the worse fright I have ever gotten in class... Now I am super paranoid that there is a lizard infestation under my desk... Oh gosh T^T


Well, that's it for Nina's adventures! Stay tuned for more silly moments!

Nina adventures: Neko Nina

Don't comapre

Hey guys today I'll be talking about comparison

So I guess (presume) everyone compares themselves to other. Often we compare other people too. Well to me, comparison is a good thing! Most people use it to push themselves and improve in their own ways be it in studies or anything else!

However, comparison can bring along a lot of stress and harm ):

Today I'll just be ranting and taking about the damage comparison brings and maybe a few points here and there about the good sides of comparison.

Okay well, I'll be talking mostly about my own experiences and myself so again if your not interested stop scrolling :)

Hope you like it!

First of all, I'm someone who loves to compare myself to other. This helps me in different ways like my studies but it also demoralises me... a lot. You see, when we compare, we usually look at the persons capabilities, what he or she has and you don't look at their flaws. Why does she have such good look? Why is he stronger? Why does she have so many followers? Why is he so popular?

Unless what you want is achievable, all these questions will only bring you down. Its totally normal for humans to compare each other but sometimes we over do it and end up feeling like 💩

Ranting starts in:

As most of you know, my Mother teaches in the same school as me. More specifically, the same secondary school as me and furthermore, she is the HOD (head of department) of English. My mom is very efficient in her work she is super organised and I really have a lot of respect toward her in that. So I feel sometimes, when I get new teachers, they somehow expect me to be like my Mom. Sigh. I feel it is actually super demoralising because firstly, my studies are not that good and also, I am nothing like my Mom. So there came a point where I felt everything was so demanding for me. Why did everyone have such high expectations, why was I always falling behind my Mom's shadows? Why couldn't everyone just accept who I was? 

That was a dark period of time. I had to handle a lot of things. The stress level did not really help too. I could not do as much art pieces and I feel very pressurised and as if no one knew the pain I was going through. Test after test, the homework never stopped coming in. I still recall that I spent most of my nights sleeping with a wet pillow and tear drops still sitting on my face.

So I finally came to a stage where I said: Enough is enough. I must stop comparing myself I am who I am. I went to talk to both my parents individually and I felt much better after pouring everything out. Haha I remember crying in the car to my Dad (probably scared the crap out of him!) After talking and a lot of drawings (incase you don't know I draw a lot when I'm feeling down!) and SUPER A LOT of advise and comfort, I got back to who I am again. *yay* *cheers*

So, do you guys feel this way too? 
Maybe some of you guys are compared like me to your siblings? A friend who out shines you? Or maybe you have huge expectations placed upon you? I just want to tell you guys, don't compare.

Eh Nina easier than you say la! <--- maybe you're saying this now :) But I want to tell you that is the only thing we can do. I also felt very frustrated to hear my Dad tell me that but it is the truth. The only person you can beat is yourself don't go gauge or compare yourself with someone else! You'll end up very miserable because there is always someone better than you (shan wai you shan) <--- Chinese cheng yu :3

BE WHO YOU ARE AND NOT WHO YOU WANT TO BE

-Nina Neo :D

Haha you've gotta accept yourself! Look a your strengths! You may be able to do something that another person posses but you definitely can do something that the other person can't! 

So, be who you are and not who you want to be! 

THANKS FOR READING.

Resort World Sentosa~

YO PEEPS I'M BACK with a new blog update :D

Okay today, I'll be talking about my time with Cheryl and Clairen at Resort World Sentosa :D

Again, If you're not interested, please stop reading here hehe~

And, there's this lizard next to me right now... I'm kinda freaking out ):

So gross right D:

Haha but anyways, Cheryl and Clairen had been begging me to with them to chill and hangout during the holidays! Haha initially I didn't want to go cause I had to do work and another person was supposed to >< (which I hated). Cheryl and Clairen if you're reading this, I'M SO HAPPY BLAH BLAH BLAH DIDN'T GO >< Sorry clairen :3

We were so excited we Face timed the night before to discuss what I needed to bring haha! Here is us fooling around on face time XD

Anyways, I read sentosa after my tuition at around 3! I met up with the girls and we had lunch together :D Yumz <3

After this, we headed back to the hotel room. This is where the fun part starts. As I headed to the train with Cheryl and Clairen, the place was swarmed with people doing their own activities. Admits the crowd, Clairen's phone rang and once she picked it up, a loud voice resounded from the device. It was Cheryl's mom. I don't want to go into detail cause this is for Cheryl's privacy XD. Anyway, on the train both of them were bracing themselves to getting the worse scolding. I had to stand there reassure them and tell them the best ways to go about it.

Lizard update: Its still here not crawling around anymore...

Once we reached the hotel, it was super classy and stuff haha! We went up to the room and I swear the corridors were so nice. I just pranced around in them while Cheryl and Clairen laughed at me D: I was made to stand outside the room while the scolding took place then was invited in haha!

I was in love with a panda hat (Clairen's)

After everything had settled down, we headed to the pool! We snuck into the Hard Rock Hotel pool instead cause it was funner I guess haha! It was super cool to just hang out with them while we just floated around. Talking about life and spotting a few guys.

 

Here are some inside jokes: 

HURHURHUR

I paw-mise

Eh look water poof water poof 

I can't stop laughing now.

After the lovely swim, we went back to change and head to the S.E.A aquarium! Me and Clairen in the lift after the swim hehe bling bling back ground!!!

Lizard update: Dad woke up gonna get him to catch the lizard. I decided to name him Larry.

When we headed down, IT WAS CLOSE T^T NUUUUUUUUUU!!! Nvm back up plan: Go shopping at Vivo City instead. We decided to cut back on our dinner and eat at MacDonald's haha go all the way to sentosa and eat macs X*D.

Anyway, we headed over to Vivo and headed straight to Cotton On! WHOO HOO best part they had a huge sale. Like shirts were going for only $5-$10. The first person to freak out was Clairen followed by me. We decided to get the same pair of shoes, same size too for only $5. It was so funny :P

So basically we went crazy. I created a saying: Never go crazy without your friends. We browsed through F21 and TOP SHOP but all too ex for us hehe.

We headed to H&M and right before my eyes, Clairen and Cheryl rampaged through the shop HAHA everything was like on sale and it was super affordable!!! I got a mickey mouse shirt with them for only $5.90 and I freaked out when I saw dotting hill had set up a booth in the shop!!! So I decided to buy 3 tattoo designs :D

Lizard update: Dad caught Larry kinda missing his company now...

The "NO" one is on my collar bone area and the panda is on my foot! I have a totoro and its on my waist so no photo for that one hehe :3 

Anyway, time passed so fast... it was already 10pm. My parents came to pick me and I said bye to my 2 beloved friends D: I had an amazing time for only those 6 plus hours. I really thank god for having you guys in my life and I'll treasure you for as long as I can :D 

Hangout soon!

Okay guys here's the end of my blog haha. Sorry if it might not be as amusing cause its directed to my 2 friends (: Wait for my new blog posts :D I'll be trying to upload more before school reopens! Thanks for the support y'all! 

xoxo
