I'll try to keep this as short and sweet as possible. It's been quite a year, what with me entering poly and making new friends. Nothing will have prepared me for RP, and I'm quite surprised to find myself blending into the crowd with no issues. I expected some sort of culture shock. But then my sem 1 classmates were all really good people (they still are, just that sadly we're all in different classes now) who helped me with my transition from secondary school to tertiary education.
35 minute period classes with only one recess turned into 8:30am class with two breaks and class till 3:30PM everyday. I like this better. With aircon all day and internet access, why not right? Poly is more relaxing than secondary school, I'll give you that.
I kept in touch with my secondary school friends and I'm happy to say that Gen is back here to stay. Good news? She'll be in RP next year too, so I can basically just see her on every weekday!!!11!1!11 Also, Natasha has become one of my closest friends HAHA I actually sorta expected our friendship to taper off a little but NAH it stayed pretty strong. Love her.
It's been a year of ups and downs but I'll say that I enjoyed it tremendously. With the likes of Abby and Juhria, how can I not right? Of course not forgetting Syakila and Maisarah (who are both super cute and funny wtf teach me senpais) HAHA I love them all so much!!!!
Planning to end 2014 with a BANG. Ok kidding going to go for Sentosa's Countdown party with Natasha & Pres + her friends so ya, hoping it'll be fun. Bet we'll be camping at the McDonald's 3+ onwards waiting for breakfast LOL.
Of course the last person that I'd like to mention is of course my boyfriend Jaaaaames whom I started the year 2014 with and will happily end 2014 with. Boy's growing taller and buffer (he he he) and I can't wait for 2015 to come. Our 3 year anniversary is coming soon and all I wanna say to him is a BIG thank you for putting up with me and loving me.
HUGS AND KISSES TO ALL MY FRIENDS FOR PUTTING UP WITH ME AND ACTUALLY WANTING TO BE MY FRIEND YOU ALL DESERVE TROPHIES AND MEDALS. (I accidentally wrote metals.)
Hope your 2014 was as enjoyable as mine was, and here's to a fucking great 2015. (Which is the year I turn 18. Aw yeah.)
Japan post will be up as soon as I get my ass in gear and actually jam my memory card into my computer for pictures. (SoonTM)

ILLUMI(NATI) RUN
Just kidding. It's a proper run. Just that I overheard someone (can't tell if kidding or seriously overly religious) say that on the MRT. It went like this.
So the other day when my dad was driving me to school, I was listening to 987fm, and then they suddenly mentioned that they had a discount code for Illumirun! I perked up to listen a bit and turns out it was a whole $20 off the original price (which was $78). So I messaged my best friends and we all decided to sign up (not immediately but at separate times LOL) for the run.
It's a mediocre 'run', 5KM and also we all joked that it was more of 'Illumiwalk' LOLOL but it was pretty cool to see a shitload of people in their Illumirun gear, all lit up like mini walking Christmas trees. *insert pedomoon face*
So we all arrived later than our so called 'meeting time' which was at like 5PM, we arrived at like 6PM... nevermind, this is common for us already. After eating dinner, we went to the Handicap toilet (hey, it's a habit for us already, don't judge) check out the swag gang. My shirt is size M by the way, all our shirts are size M.
Pardon us, most of our pictures are in squares... Instagram ready, y'know... Also that day I put on makeup to go for a run. Sounds so ridiculous but man if I wore contacts without makeup I'd just look like a fricking sec school kid who has no idea how to use makeup LOL. I also couldn't wear my glasses cause I didn't want to keep pushing it up the bridge of my nose every 5 seconds zzz
All geared up with out shit! That day I lent Natasha my red bandana and I wore my black one, so we kinda were 'twinning' oh jesus who uses that word anymore?? But I can't find a better word for it... so... eh. Pres and Gen bought the Illumirun headband and Pres kinda looked like Naruto HAHHAH the headband gg
First place I got splashed with paint: my eye. How nice. I was also the only one who wore the glasses on my head the ENTIRE TIME. Btw, Pres' pack was spoilt. HER ENTIRE PACK WAS SPOILT her light stick her armband her bag LOL WTF??
This is everyone's shirt after like I think 4KM? Every KM they have a paint splash station wheehuu different colours for each station too! Can you recognize who is who?
Gen looks like she has a super huge kiss imprint on her forehead, and Pres' head is literally GLOWING LOL frick we all look like aliens?
This was an underground rave area, (my fav tbh) and the music was the BEST here!! It was also fucking trippy (and hot) LOL the lights were flashing in my face all the time. I loved it. Thank god they had fans down there though.
I asked her to put Natasha's tutu skirt on her head and so she did. Then afterwards I did too. LOL
The ironic thing about this picture is that previously (before I always tried to jio both of them out) they both were very hesitant about hanging out bc they were scared that they would have NOTHING to talk about, and also that the other disliked them??? WHICH IS RIDICULOUS LOL so one day I dragged them out altogether to USS and BAM we all got along real well. See? Told ya I was right. They were arguing about what *swag* hand motion to use for this pix. Ridiculous I tell you.
GEN WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE A PIX FOR US (me and Natasha, see pix below) BUT SHE TOOK LIKE TWO SELFIES BEFORE SHE TOOK THE ACTUAL PICTURE GEN PLS WHY
Where am I looking??? I have no idea and Natasha looks like she's melting into me. Also my pink ring finger is swag as fuck wHEEHUU
Couple of groupshots! I look awkward in the one on the right. Dk what I was doing with my leg though. In these pictures, Pres was wearing ALL of our tutu skirts. So techincally only Gen didn't buy one. We said Pres looked like Elsa on the run, and she was finally the princess she always wanted to be (back in her lian phase) HAHAHAH FK but she looked really cute in it lah so ok. Close one eye.
"EH! I heard got this run leh, Illumirun. Satanic one! ILLUMI(NATI)RUN!SMH. Some people seriously. I hope they ARE seriously just kidding. Anyways, this post is completely and will be full of my own opinions. I'm entitled to them. Hais. ;)

We also got some strangers to take this pix for us (we took for them too) and you can see NOTHING but all the illuminated parts... we look like black people.
FUCK YOU ARVIND SUCK DICK

Outfit deets...

Here's Natasha asking you all haters to fuck off... (her septum piercing swag as fuck though)
Here's Pres looking a little like Kermit the Frog due to her headband and her green tutu skirt...
Couple of groupshots! I look awkward in the one on the right. Dk what I was doing with my leg though. In these pictures, Pres was wearing ALL of our tutu skirts. So techincally only Gen didn't buy one. We said Pres looked like Elsa on the run, and she was finally the princess she always wanted to be (back in her lian phase) HAHAHAH FK but she looked really cute in it lah so ok. Close one eye.
Decided to let my hair down after the run, and LOOK AT THOsE WAVES I'm convinced to get a perm now before I go to Japan. Also, CHECK OUT THE POST RUN SELFIE wtf my makeup stayed on????? This is ridiculous. Usually after 3 hours outside (in aircon) my eyeliner smudges and makes me look like I got socked in the eye. I perspired for like fucking 4 hours out there AND MY EYELINER DOESN'T EVEN FUCKING SMUDGE NOT ONE BIT WHAT EVEN
Natasha also stained the MRT pink with the paint in her hair. NICE and she was supposed to go to fclub afterwards LOL BUT WE WERE ALL SO TIRED HAHHAHAH WTF
Final outfit post
Super glam post run selfie
Think I made a smart choice wearing my old secondary school converse to 'run'... didn't wanna stain my Roshe runs, though Natasha didn't care about hers b/c her main pair of sports shoes was something else. SIGH. Look at the colors though, they're really bright. This was like 3 days after the run.
VERDICT:
DO NOT GO unless it's something like a bucketlist goal. Because this run is mediocre and the paint is easily washed off your shirt. So SIAN? 5km also very boring apparently. The rave wasn't very impressive either, according to my friends. They're the professionals in this, I have no idea. But I definitely trust Natasha's judgement on this. She and I raved longer than Pres and Gen though cause they left the crowd. Jesus Christ the heat as we stood amongst all the people... it fogged up my god damn glasses.
Also there was this fucking fat chick trying to push against me AND SHE WAS GRINDING AGAINST MY ASS WITH HER ASS 80% OF THE TIME. YO I KNOW YOU WANNA IMPRESS UR FRIENDS WITH GYRATING YO ASS BUT PLS DON'T DO IT ON MINE??? I KNOW I VERY SKINNY YOU CAN SQUISH ME BUT DON'T RUB UR ASS AGAINST MINE??? HELLO????
There is zero concept of personal space in there and I understand, BUT WHY ARE YOU RUBBING UR BUTT AGAINST MINE STOP THAT'S EURGH.
Ok rant over. Also, I paid $4 for sunkist orange juice. Fucking $4. Fuck my life hello.
But either way we all had fun. Pres went to take a lightstick (it's made of styrofoam don't worry) and whacked people's head as they ran past us (on the opposite side) and one of them yelled 'JIBAI' LOL I CAN'T. Also some faggots tried to grab MY lightstick FUCK YOU GET YOUR OWN. We were all hi-fiving (I used my lightstick) the people running opp us and some of them wanted to hi 5 us but fucking withdrew their hand at the last minute. We all pointed middle finger LOL fucking guailan.
The concept of Illumirun is pretty cool lah but I won't be going next year, definitely. We're all def going for Color Run though, can't wait already!

I'm going to Japan in a couple of weeks' time, and I'm already trying to plan for what to wear and such. Hopefully it snows!! I'm headed to Osaka, Kyoto then Tokyo. Hopefully I get to go to American Apparel......... Ok I can't stop thinking about shopping VAL STOP. I just went on a fricking big haul yesterday. Wait, let me count.
1 scarf
2 dresses
1 F21 bag
3 tops (I think)
My money officially flying away ha ha ha fml. Okay I need to stop so I can spend it in Japan, not here. Esp when I can probably buy shiz that's exclusive to Japan only. Whee! Hoping that I'll have internet connection in Japan though.
Follow me @vlrny on Instagram if you haven't, I'll update my #anyainjapan posts there! Check the hashtag to easily see the Japan photos next time. I'm flying off on the 18th, which is James' birthday. Fucking sad, we never ever get to celebrate his birthday together because it's either he's overseas, I'm overseas, or that we're both overseas on his birthday. It's been this way for 2 years and it seems like this is the 3rd year that it's gonna happen.
Sad. Did you know that December 17, 18 and 19 hold very special meanings for us?
17: our anniversary date
18: his birthday
19: the day that we first MET in person
Cool right?? Heh. Okay I'm off to read my newest book, ta-ta. Till next time! I'll probably be blogging about Japan then, or perhaps BEFORE Japan to talk about my new hair. I'm getting a perm and a color job before I fly off. Can't go to Japan with such weird ass hair.
