"Prom" Night 2012

Hi everyone! I'm so sorry for not posting in ages, but I've been really busy with exams recently. Thankfully though, I am finally done! To celebrate the end of IGSCE and commence the beginning of IB, our school had a formal, as they do every year. I guess you would consider it "Prom," hence the title, however our school isn't really American enough to go for the cliche title. It was lots of fun; we danced, socialised, ate and relaxed. Afterwards there was an after party for us to properly let loose ;) so that of course was also quite good! Below are some pictures from the night, enjoy :)

Getting ready at the salon!

Everyone at the pre-formal celebrations!

While this post is short and sweet, now that I've finished grade 10 I'll be posting more! I have a couple weeks til' I actually go overseas on holidays, so hopefully that'll mean I'll have lots of time to come on Blogspot (:

Sweet Freedom

Hi everybody! I was just hoping to make a casual post about what I've been up to lately. Exams just started for me today, so now I've got half of maths done with 10 more exams to go! Yesterday I also got my braces off which was VERY exciting albeit a bit nerve-wracking after two years of metallic teeth. I was really worried about how they'd look, and while they mightn't be perfect I'm growing to like them (:

I've been on study leave due to all the exams, and so haven't really been doing anything too exciting. I've been going to football training three times a week which I've actually really enjoyed; it's given me a break from studying! I admit I haven't been studying as hard as I probably should be, but I've got all my notes sorted so it's really just me doing past papers from now on til' my next THREE exams on the SAME day (examiners suck at planning, eh?) on Monday. Looking forward to it :/








My birthday was a week ago and I'm loving being 16! Nothing much has changed but it's such an iconic age for a teenager to be, what with some of the new benefits that come with the age. I got the exact camera (Canon Powershot S100) which I posted a couple of weeks ago which was really cool (it's a REALLY good quality digital camera with lots of fun effects, I recommend it!). I also ordered a necklace (on the right) similar to the one I posted before as well, which is somewhere in the world on it's way. I'm super excited to get it in the mail, and I plan on wearing it with this amazing dress one of my closest friends, Maya, got for my birthday, which I'll wear to my brother's Graduation at the end of May. For my birthday, I also got lots of Topshop gift cards (like $300 worth, yay!), some perfume, some tops, money and some jewelry.







Lastly, I've got everything sorted for my grade 10 formal in June! I'm wearing a long blue dress from a shop in Sydney called Seduce, a pair of sparkly silver and black heels from Aldo, the coolest silver and blue clutch ever from a boutique in Singapore and a silver cuff from Topshop. There's braiding in my dress and on my clutch, so I'm probably going to braid the top of my hair and leave the rest out in waves, with some smoky eyes and a toned down lip. I'M SO EXCITED!

If anyone's been bothered to read this I hope you've enjoyed finding out a little bit about how I've been! (:

Birthday Wishing

So my birthday's next Sunday. I'm turning 16 so I guess that's kinda a big thing. I can (legally) get into NC16 movies and (legally) have sex in Singapore. So I guess that's, er, exciting. Anyway, next Friday is our last day of school, followed by 6 weeks of exam leave and exams themselves, and then summer. So hopefully this'll start the 6 weeks off well and then I'll just study and be bored and have a miserable time for the rest of the time. Good news is though that during exam leave... 1. my braces are coming off! And the day before my first exam at that (maths, *cringe*), 2. we get Macbook Pro's, and 3. FORMAL! Which I'm thoroughly excited about. But to focus on my birthday more importantly, I'm hoping to spend it doing whatever during the day and then having dinner with around 20 of my friends at the Hard Rock Cafe, so that should be fun! And on my birthday wishlist is...

1. A good quality, preferably Canon, digital camera

2. A titanium crystal necklace like on the right. Fortunately if they don't have any more of this exact one, there are loads on etsy! I've been obsessed with crystals ever since they appeared on my tumblr dashboard and my friends got some small crystal necklaces from Ladakh










3. Seeing as there isn't much else I specifically want, I'm hoping for some gift cards to some of my favourite shops in Singapore i.e. Topshop, River Island, Bershka...

*Crossing my fingers* that I have a fun day and get what I want! :)
