Adventure cove

Adventure cove with the girls today! hah. Finally. A date with my angels. 

An outing with my girls always calls for, yikes, bikinis. But I guess I'm not as jumpy as I used to be. 
I still feel a wee bit self-conscious though because my friends are all slim (and they were still complaining what what whaaaat.) and I'm not so slim but after we started going on the rides, the thought kinda disappeared. 

It was so much fun!! 
Plus, since we hardly get to go out these days, we took a lot of photos.
(Yu wan blinked in the first photo)

(I couldn't bring my phone in so no pictures of the rides for this post ): but I'll put in pictures of my friends in the middle of paragraphs so you won't get bored okay) 


My favourite was this roller coaster thingi (a water roller coaster!!) where we had to go up in pairs on this conveyor belt thingi (which, yu wan and I decided, made us feel like sushi hahaha) then BOOM. Sudden drop to death. And subsequent drops a long the way too. I loved it. 
I also loved the river pool where all you had to do was sit in the floatie and float throughout the entire river way. 
When I didn't have a floatie I just clung onto any one of my friends and pretended to be a shark heh heh. 

We went to some slidy thingi also where we suppose to lie on our bellies and push off and race against the person next to us. I was against Olivia and I was so sure I would win because I was heavier so you know, I would slide faster. But when the person said GO! Olivia pushed off and I COULDNT PUSH OFF because my legs were too far away from the back board so I ended up scraping the groud with my hands to propel myself forward. 
I lost ): 

We also went snorkeling! It was very pretty 
Yu wan kept squealing "eeeee the fish so big ahh Olivia im so scared omgomg" 
And Olivia had to take off her mask to laugh at her. 
I kept bumping into corals and rocks and now I have bruises on my knees :<

Then the girls went for some obstacle course thing while I stayed outside because the water was 4m deep and I'm not a strong swimmer. (Boo, loser) 
But I managed to get some nice shots of them climbing. Heh.

we settled on some sandy area and ate chips (hah. Chips and bikinis. What is slim.) and took more photos. 
Be prepared for our mandatory selfie shots.
I had to post one full body shot of bel because she looks so 90210 with her round sunnies (which she can totally pull off tbh). 
And since bel has been the one always taking photos of us, not only on this trip but on every other outing with her trusty cameras, I'd just like to say thank you, on behalf of me, Livi and Wan :D
Here's a pretty picture of Isabel-Popel (: 

We finally got really cold and exhausted so we went to shower (me being the slowest once again, what's new really.) and then we saw dolphins!!! 
So cute! 
Imagine if your job was playing with dolphins everyday!! 
I would just... 
Okay what am I talking about I can't even swim properly haha. 

After everything we zipped through the souvenir shop (where everything was so overpriced so I just took photos with stuffed animals) 

And had a fatty lunch at KFC, which was what we have been craving for since forever. 

They all had a 2 piece meal and I had the rice set. THE ROASTA RICE SET ROCKS GUYS.

This is actually an edited post from yesterday's because yesterday there were hardly any photos from Bel's waterproof camera. 
So all those non-selfie photos are Bel's photos! Thanks Bel! :-) 

Tomorrow, at 2pm, we'll be collecting our O level results. 
I'm so so so terrified. 
TERRIFIED ISN'T STRONG ENOUGH TO COVER WHAT IM FEELING. 
All sorts of insects are line dancing in my tummy right now brrr. 
But I guess I feel more secure as well because finally, I'll know where I'm meant to go. Right now, my path is just all foggy because these marks really determine my future and without them, I'm path-less, you know? 
And even though I'm afraid I won't get what I hope I would get, and I would probably be crazy depressed if I don't get what I'd expected of myself, I believe that God has a path planned out for me. 
That, at least, is comforting. 

In my new school though, I have no idea where im going to find such wonderful friends, friends that really make me thank God for blessing me so abundantly. 
Bel, Yu Wan, Olivia and I have very very different ideas for our future, so we kind of know that we probably won't be going to the same school. But I know that this friendship that we have is real special. And I strongly believe that a friendship this special is one that could last forever :-) 
I thank God for them.

A bible verse that really keeps me going when I'm unsure, or frightened, or insecure. 
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." 
-Jeremiah 29:11 NIV
