I'm so pissed at the moment because I feel so helpless. I know there's something wrong with it but I just keep holding myself back from saying anything cos I'm just a significant nobody.

I really cannot take this anymore? It's amazing but horrible at the same time. It's either I'm not used to such intensity and rigor or this entire thing is fucking bullshit

!! 1 DIRECTION OTRASG !!

It's been about half a year since I've updated my blog, and this space looks so sad and dead..... Nevermind about that, I'm going to compensate for the  lack of posts by blogging about my 1D concert experience!!

So as most of you know, 1 Direction (aka 1D fyi) came to Singapore for the FIRST TIME EVER and held their On the Road Again (#OTRAsg) tour at Sports Hub on 11 March. Before anyone released any news about 1D coming over to SG, there were countless rumours saying how they would probably drop by here during their Asia Tour. Chow and I were quite doubtful initially but when the dates were finally confirmed, we were extremely excited for it and we came up with a few plans on how to purchase the tickets just in case they got sold out real quick.

So basically, Chow decided to queue up at POSB to purchase the tix (apparently you can do that?? hmm). We woke up as early as 7+ to get ready and shits, but to our disappointment, there was already a long queue at POSB when Chow reached around 8. Chow then called me immediately and we decided that it would be great if we do it both ways- online purchase and purchasing it physically. I logged on to the website and got so frustrated because it failed for a number of times before I could confirm my purchase. Nonetheless, after 1h of queuing + spamming the refresh button, we finally got our tickets at $172 each! We decided to purchase the tickets from the standing category too cos we wanted to be closer to them boys ;)

11 MARCH 2015 

After what seemed like years of waiting, the day finally arrived! This kind of slipped off my mind cos I remember meeting Chow for dinner the week before the concert and before we parted ways, she said "See you next week!" and I was like "for what".... LOL. 

Anyway it was a really tiring day for me that day. I had my GP Block Test on that day (which ended at 330pm... zz) and I had to rush home to prepare before heading out. Was really late too cos I couldn't decide on my outfit so I had to cab to causeway point before meeting Nishi and Afiqah! (Both of them are from my school and we're all from floorball. We found out we were going for the same concert while chatting a few months back.) Was really anxious on the cab whilst on the way there cos there were countless reminders on the road (those ERP look alike signs that indicates to you

about road blocks ahead or something) that kept advising drivers to avoid driving towards this direction between 5pm-11pm due to possible traffic congestion T_T We were so afraid we were gonna miss the concert!! (more afraid of the taxi fare actually hahahah) 

Nevertheless, we got there within 30mins and our taxi fare amounted to only $21 ($7each wtheck!!!??! SO CHEAP) so it was all good. Heard a lot of screaming fans while we were waiting for our friends and we thought 1D was doing their sound check..... And guess what. It turned out to be the retarded fans who like to scream for NOTHING and they kept doing this while we were queuing up/waiting for 1D at the concert. SUPER IRRITATING I SWEAR TO GAWD 

Took some pictures while queuing up too! No pictures with Afiqah cos she left to meet her friends who apparently has VIP tix for her :( 

Queued for about an hour before heading in!! THE PLACE WAS HUGEEEE and we rushed in to only realise that we were in the midst of everybody else (which also meant that we're far away from the boys the stage and  the rest of the world... We're located in the center and if we were to faint nobody would probably realise too LOL) 

As you can see from the picture, there's already a huge crowd located near the stage area and we're like way back from the stage :( 

Had zero idea why was there a huge X in the middle of the screen because it kind of reminded me of Ed Sheeran's latest album hmm 

Excited us in the midst of countless beings!!

Before 1D came out, there was a DJ from Zouk that kind of just kickstarted the hype. He played many funky songs (mostly mainstream music) that we can all relate to and that is probably my first closest clubbing experience HAHA. Have yet to club before cos 1) I'm a freaking December baby 2) Most of my friends don't really club 3) Probably too poor for that shit too. 

The DJ left around 8pm (we entered around 6?) and we had to bear with the numerous advertisements playing on the big screen cos 1D was late!! (There were news saying that the concert started late cos Zayn only arrived at SG @ 5pm cos he missed his flight) During that 1h of painful and torturous time wasting, I kept thinking why didn't I bring my water bottle or at least my notes. Felt kind of pathetic COS I WAS SUPPOSED TO ENJOY MYSELF 

Okay so around 9pm, the entire stadium FINALLY had their lights go off and 1D's video started to play on the big screen!! ALL THE GIRLS WERE SCREAMING LIKE MAD and I too screamed cos it occurred to me that I'M FINALLY FINALLY SEEING THE BOYS IN REAL LIFE FOR THE VERY FIRST AND PROBABLY ONLY TIME IN MY LIFE. I was so excited I kept jumping up and down and had my phone faced towards the stage because I wanted to capture that moment when they entered! 

(I tried uploading a video on blogger but apparently it doesn't load so meh, whatever) 

So yes, the mood got really high after their first song, Clouds, from their latest album FOUR!! 

I love that song soooOOOoOoo much and it was Harry who started singing first.... Omg when he appeared on the stage it felt so surreal and unreal and whatever not because all those fangirling behind the screen finally turned into something so.... real. I can't put my feelings into words because it really felt like I was in a dream!! 

Though I was pretty far away from the stage, I was still able to take some decent shots! Very amazed with my iPhone heheheeh CHECK OUT HARRY HERE OMIGOD

And here we have Niall who looked like a little boy the entire time :') 

And a badly taken picture of Louis :( 

Back view of my baby Harry, and not forgetting hottest man in the world ZAYN MALIK with his man bun omfg 

A nicely timed shot with 4 of the boys + guitarist!! (harry's missing) 

 Didn't manage to take any individual pics of Liam even though he's my fav cos he's always at Pen B!! I'm at Pen A btw hehe and Harry + Niall keeps coming over I'M THANKFUL FOR THAT 

Here in this pic we can see a detailed pic of Louis and his tattoos and his distinct features esp his eyes WHICH KINDA DRIVES ME CRAZY 

Personally, this is one of my favourite shots of the day! This was taken when they were singing "Little Things", and usually they would sing at the edge of the stage where they are closer to the fans and all but apparently that area was too small for them so they went to the back of the stage (WHERE I WAS NEAREST TO) and sang!! They looked so cute omg look at them smiling happily T_T 

And a rather HD pic!!! I looOoOoOOVe this shot too cos they all look so serious and engrossed and man and handsome ARGH MY OVARIES 

HIGH AS A MOTHERFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU

missing Zayn here but look at Liam my god and that oversized shirt argh 

THIS TOO IS MY FAV SHOT!!!!! AND GUYS DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE 

DO YOU??? ?????????????

OKAY WAIT FOR IT...... 

IT'S COMING SOON........

BE PATIENT............

PRESENTING TO YOU..............................

HARRY IN A MAN BUN!!!!!!!!!!!

 OMFG he only came out looking like this towards the end cos apparently SG is very very hot to them (something the boys couldn't stop saying and well I apologize for the heat then HAHAH) 

Yup I too approve of your man bun HAHA

Really gorgeous looking pic of  Liam who decided to put on a flannel top towards the end??? HMM BBY 

Here's a conversation between Liam and Louis, and yes Liam was asked by Louis to describe SG in 3 STRONG WORDS. 

And we got "Singapore you rock!!!!!!!" 

I was actually expecting "I love Singapore" LOL HAHAHAH

Some post concert pics!! Concert ended with a bang cos they sang  Best Song Ever for their closing song!! AND IT WAS INDEED THE BEST NIGHT EVER THANK YOU 1D FOR MAKING MY LIFE 

<3 nbsp="">

Overall, it was a freaking fruitful day even though I was hella tired. I had so much fun that night jumping and singing and dancing and shoving people aside (I'm sorry) it was really a fantastic experience for me. There's so much more I wanna share with you guys about the concert (especially the videos omg I've uploaded a few on my private insta and I couldn't stop watching them.. they make me so happy!!) but it's 2am now and I gotta sleep. There's math consultation later on in the day at 11am and I have to proceed on to another day of studying after that. Ngawww :( 

Nevertheless, I feel so much better after blogging this out because now you guys can share my happiness with me too :') HAHAHA if you don't want it's okay but the concert really makes me so happy (i'm sorry if i don't have enough synonyms to describe this mood it's really just HAPPINESS) on so many levels. I remember having a bad day in school and watching all the past videos instantly killed all the negative vibes. Am I being too dramatic HAHAHA 

Ending this post with my cny ootd that didn't manage to make it on my main..

SHARING IS CARING 

And another shameless selfie. 

#dealwithit 

Thanks for staying with me fransssssss <3 br="" nbsp="">

Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets.

I'm honestly not left with much time.
It's around 40 odd days to MCEs and I've barely finished my homework for the weekends..... Not forgetting the crazy amount of revision that needs to be done by then.

Many at times I question myself if JC is the right path for me. All along during my secondary school years, I've always regarded JC as the only place I would go after my Os. I thought of myself as someone who doesn't have much discipline and I needed to go to an institution that would somehow be able to "force" me to study hard. Though choosing poly seemed like a legit choice for me back then (considering the subject combination I took in secondary school), I barely considered it as I didn't know what I wanted to study and I was afraid of having to find a job related to my course even though I didn't really enjoy studying it. Thus, the only suitable choice I had was JC.

Since secondary school, I've always loathed the idea of taking anything related to science and that explains why I'm in the Arts stream now. I was slow in learning science subjects because according to my brother, I question too much and I don't have any common sense(LOL)....

However, upon a few months of taking the arts subjects in JC, it dawned on me that I didn't enjoy the Arts stream as much as I thought I would.

There wasn't much requirements for students who wanted to take up the arts subject in JC. For instance, it is not required of you to have any Literature/History background in secondary school to take up these subjects at H2 level. You need not have a minimum of B3 for English language, and neither do you need to score a certain grade for your humanities subject. Basically, you simply have to show interest/be interested in the subject to take them up for your subject combination.
I guess this is exactly why I'm struggling so much.

As most of you know, I take up Literature at the H2 level and I must say, it is one of my biggest regret thus far. No doubt Literature is an amazing and interesting subject, but the expectations are crazy and the competition out there is even worse off. I always tell my friends how I enjoy learning Literature but detest taking it as an exam. It's true how they say that even with 10 years of compulsory English education given to us, we still aren't able to produce work of good quality as compared to overseas scholars in Singapore who barely took up 2-3 years of English lessons. I can't help but feel inferior as I am being compared to them, for I know that they will be my competitors in the A levels and I have to perform equally well to be able to enroll in the university I want.

Everyday I question myself: Why did I even take Literature in the first place?

If given a choice again, I definitely wouldn't choose Literature, regardless of it being a H1 or H2 subject.

Right now, there's no longer any room for hesitation and I should prolly focus on doing well instead.
I can only blame myself for being so insistent on my choice of subjects back then.

I really just want to get it over and done with.

All limitations are self-imposed

Soooooo, it has been ages since I've last blogged and so I've decided to blog on this faithful night HAHA

From July-August, my life has been rather happening as compared to the previous months. I must say that this month has got to be the toughest + most tiring month!!! Despite that, there were a few fun moments so yeah, it's not all that bad.

Went back to my secondary school during Honour's Day and represented my cohort as the valedictorian (along with Vanessa). It was a really tiring day for me but nonetheless, it was an extremely good experience! Was almost close to tears when Mdm Chan talked about me on stage I was so touched awwww

Secondary school days has got to be one of the best phases in my life thus far. Coming into this school has never been a regret for me and I'm thankful for every single opportunity given to me in this 4 years. Though the school might have been rather strict on our attendance, attire and conduct, I believe it has taught me to be disciplined in all areas.

The friends I've made here are definitely the gems in my life. Definitely not forgetting the wonderful teachers here, who have always showered us with their endless love and care. I'll always remember all the sacrifices they've made for us. :')

Thank you Woodlands Ring for the past 4 years of  grooming and teaching. As I move on to my next phase in life, I'll still bear in mind all the values that were taught to me.
