YES YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!!!
I am one of the 10 finalists shortlisted for this years' Teenage Gorgeous You Social Challenge 2016, or in short TGY2016.
It came as a shock to me that I was selected as the finalist cuz the time when I went for the audition there's quite a number of people. Its like going for a job interview just that this time with people who're A LOT younger than me. LOL! And I didn't know they will narrow it down to only 10. (5 males 5 females)
You see, we have Ben (@benvoda) Mr Popular who have at least 1k of likes per photo on his instagram. Its like everyone around me knows his existence!!!! And there's Cheow Yi (@cheowster)?!?!?! She's known for her good writing and super talented!!! (The reason why she bagged home the title of CNOS4 champion!!) Come to think of it, I've taken quite a number of competitions together with Cheow Yi.
Not forgetting the rest of the contestants. They're all so... Gorgeous!!!
I just feel that this year is gonna be even bigger and better.
The reason for me joining this contest is because I want to relive the joy of taking part in contest challenges. Other than the superficial reasons of wanting to reach out to more people and gain more exposure, I really want to find back the joy in cracking ideas for creative contents. Allowing my brain to be actively thinking about WHAT'S NEXT. You get what I mean?!?! And when you get the feedback and comments from people saying your idea is great and your entry is funny, it really motivates me to work even harder.
What I hope to achieve from this competition is to really have fun and enjoy the process. I mean, to me winning or losing is not really the main objective of this competition, but to enjoy the process is really what matters. I mean, everybody wants to win but sometimes, some people just get too overly obsessed with the thought of winning they totally forget to enjoy themselves and have fun.
The previous contests I've joined not only allow me to have fun but also to widen my circle of friends. Who would have thought that I'll be good friends, or even close friends or clique with the people I've made online?!?! Aforementioned, I also get to try things I've never get to try before. Which is great because it encourages me to step out of my comfort zone and to think out of the box.
I'm really looking forward to knowing what's in store for us. The exciting challenges, and the other contestants that I'm about to meet. Not forgetting that this year they're gonna have this voting system.
To be honest I'm not really a fan of contests with voting system. I just hope the judges will hold more percentage in the judging criteria than the voting. If not it really defeats the purpose of this contest. Might as well just be a popularity contest where we just place our face there and let people vote sua. LOL!
I'm gonna end of this post with my huge face. Hahaha! Till the next post.
A few days ago I received a "mystery box" from the people of The Thinking Cube.
The Thinking Cube is formed by four Singapore Polytechnic graduates, Ong Ting
En, Lyrenna Loh, Lim Li Yi and Melissa Lim. They founded The Thinking Cube,
while working with the National Environment Agency (NEA) during one of their
final year projects.
Their campaign, Eco After Me, is an environmental
communications campaign held in conjunction with Youth for The Environment
Day, and aims to increase offline interaction and adoption of environmental
habits amongst the youth.
Photo Credits: @GummyDaryl
The project is centered on the idea of spreading the
message through pranks. Furthermore, my friend was the mascot for their event held at Scape on 18 & 19 April 2014.
Overall, I felt that this is a great chance for us youths to do our part for the environment, and it doesn't take much effort to do so!!!
For instance, you can use your own water bottle and refill water instead of buying them elsewhere. Or reducing your showering time by 10 mins, you can save tons of water by doing that! Or even switching off lights, your electronic gadgets when you're not using them.
By doing so, you can also post pictures and sharing them on Instagram by #EcoAfterMe and #BeEcoWithMe.
Now here's something that you guys would love!!!
[FACEBOOK CONTEST]: Eco Challenge

So in case you're wondering, here's what's inside the "mystery box" that I have mention above.. Thank you *The Paper Stone* for the wonderful stationery, especially the Journal! I love it! ♥
Last but not least, special mention to Lyrenna and Li Yi for arranging the time to pass me the post-card kit! Thanks! ^.^
Have you guys ever been in a terrible situation or even unfinished things that you just want to wrap it up??? Today, I'll be sharing with you guys 3 things that I've yet to achieve/complete that I want to wrap it up.
So without further ado, lets begin wrapping!!!
1. Performing For People
Since young, I've always wanted to be a performer/singer, and I'm glad I was given the opportunity. Back when I was still studying in ITE for my last semester, I was given the opportunity to perform for the old folks at Sarah Home. Seeing the smile on their faces is definitely heart warming.
Eventhough my singing wasn't VERY fantastic, but I'm glad that I'm able to put a smile on their faces. We have to start everything from small right?? So I guess it all starts with this?
So I'm hoping one day, I'll be able to wrap this up by performing on a big stage for everybody, and not just for the old folks. ^.^
2.Having My Mom & Dad To Witness My Graduation
I'm not the smartest kid around, Talk about my studies I'm definitely not your A grade kind of student. Throughout my years of study, I'm really thankful for what my Mom and Dad has given to me. Their time and effort, their selflessness towards their one and only son...
When my Mom heard that I'll be wearing the graduation gown for my graduation in ITE, she was thrilled, and she wanted to be there, watching me receiving my certificate. But sadly, my Dad was working and he couldn't make it...
Now that I've successfully graduated from ITE, and I'm currently pursuing my diploma at Temasek Polytechnic. I hope to wrap this up by completing my course successfully, and have both my Mom and Dad present at my Polytechnic graduation ceremony, witnessing me receiving my diploma certificate.
3. To Be A Part Of The Amazing Race
I know this sounds crazy! But I've always wanted to take part in some reality TV show like America's Next Top Model, The Amazing Race, or even MasterChef (Eventhough I can't cook for nuts)...
Just so it happens that a few days ago, I was tweeting to my BBF!!! Saying that 5years ago, we both did agreed that WE WILL take part in The Amazing Race! Just that we don't know when it will be!!! Hahahaha!
So probably when time to come, I would like to wrap this up by taking part in The Amazing Race with my BBF!!! I would love to travel around the world with her!!! Doing crazy tasks and meeting different people from all around the world!!!
After sharing so much about wrapping up certain things in life, now let me share with you guys how I unwrap my happy moments with none other than... MY MOM!!! ♥
Here's a video that I've specially made for this post!
EVERYONE CAN NOW ENJOY AND UNWRAP GOOD TIMES!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unwrap good times with KFC Bandito Pockett!
KFC Bandito Pockett packed with so many tasty ingredients, 100% chicken fillet marinated in signature hot & crispy flavor, served on a bed of fresh lettuce, with salsa and mayonnaise, all wrapped in a tortilla and toasted for that extra crunch. It is every KFC fan’s favourite wrap! Try it now to enjoy a good time!
This came as a surprised to me actually. I didn't expect myself to win anything at all, until one day, some weeks ago, I was randomly opening my twitter app on my phone, then as I scroll I happen to see a mention from this user called @IWantPixma
Then the super excited me went to their website to check to see whether it's real or not, cuz it seems like a scam to me, I mean, its too good to be true la! So yea, I went to their website to take a look.
Indeed, I was the winner of the 500th tweet hash tag of #IWantPixma!!! OMG! HOW LUCKY CAN I GET?!!!
I won myself a 2 Day 1 Night stay at W Hotel at Sentosa Cove! I've always wanted to have a staycation of my own and finally Canon Pixma have granted me my wish! YAY!
As I received this joyous news, my friend was beside me, and he was cursing and swearing how "LUCKY" can I get?!!!! LOLOLOLOLOL!!!
Then I checked my email, and YES! I AM INDEED THE WINNER! HAHAHAHA!
I can't be greedy and keep asking for more, but I really hope I'll win some cold hard cash from that contest. Hahaha! Now what are you waiting for? Click on the link http://iwantpixma.sg and watch the video, look out for the questions and answer them on Twitter with the hash tag, #IWantPixma and you can stand a chance to win fantastic prizes!
Not only me, Noelle @NoelleMikazuki was one of last week's winners! I'm so happy for her! I hope all the CNOS peeps will take home the prizes for each week! Hahaha!
YES! This post is gonna be about the Cineleisure's Next Online Sensation version 2.0.
It's like, finally its over!!! All the sleepless nights we have chiong-ed! All the panicking and stuff...
On the day itself 30th March 2013
Woke up feeling super excited as its the finals for CNOS2! Having mixed feelings as well, cuz throughout this whole month, I've made many new friends and also, gradually became closer to all of them. Come to think of it, I wished this competition will still continue for another month!
HAHAHAAHAH! *kiddinggg*
Getting ready to head out!!! Here's a selca! :D
So for the last and final challenge, we were given $10 voucher each and 4hours get accessories from Beadstreet to accessorize ourselves. After that,we are required to *STRUT OUR STUFF at the red carpet and do a runway walk!
On my mind I was like going; "YES! RUNWAY WALK!!!", if you guys haven't know me yet, I'm a HUGE fan of America's Next Top Model and Miss Tyra Banks! Sooo yea!
SO FOR MY FINAL LOOK! VOILA!
The accessories that I got from Beadstreet are:
- Chain Neckless: $2.90 each, I bought 2 and did layering, Kudos to Amanda (MsPetiteLoft) for helping me with the layering and accessorizing.
- Bracelets: $1.90 each, but they're selling it 3 for $4.90!
- Shades: $5.00
OHYAH!
and I overspent by $2.90! The total costs for my accessories is $12.90! xppp!
My look is super Willabelle Ong inspired! LOVE HER TO DEATH!!!! She is my current fashion inspiration!!! ♥♥♥
And so the competition goes on, and all the contestants did their runway walk! I was just having my own time and having fun at the runway walk! It's like, how many times can I get to strut my stuff at a red carpet event??!!!
Was super happy that Cineleisure and Nuffnang had given me this chance! Thank you so much!! :D
So sorry if the photo and quality is super shitty, I was wearing shades and couldn't really see, so yea, my apologies...
- With Vivian & Clinton (I prefer calling him "Clinty" though, idk why?!) haha! xp
Super cute and adorable couple! Both of them really have the "Fu Qi Xiang" hahha!
I still remember Vivian commented that she liked my video for the very first challenge (The Food Challenge), haha! The complement really means alot to me!!! Definitely a confident boost!
As for Clinty aka Cliffton! HAHAHA!

Super jealous that everybody wants you siaaa! Even MyApplePie (Angie) also want you!!! :(, But i think this competition is a complete mindblowned for her!

BUT HEY GIRL! You're beautiful! Stay pretty!
As for Janice, lots of things had happened throughout, and I really understand you. What I can say is that, let bygones be bygones.
I mean, we all will make mistakes at some point in our lives, what we can do is just to accept, learn and move on....
