It is really heartwarming to know that so many people care. I really do appreciate the extra mile my friends are willing to take, and the additional effort some put into showing their support.
I wanna thank everyone that has voted for me, and for the other contestants too! Thank you for showing your interest, and being there support us!

I wanna thank my MOM especially for her never ending support, not only in my pageants, but in every single thing I do. I love you mommy! (:

Thank you friends all the enthusiasm, warmth and love. It makes all the time put into this really worthwhile, and the entire experience a truly memorable one! I’m pretty sure all the other girls will agree with me on this!

December is my favourite month cuz not only is it CHRISTMAS season, it’s also my birthday month!! In fact, I will be a year older next Monday I love having birthdays but I don’t quite like growing older..

To add to the series of events, there’s also the Seventeen Queen of Queens pageant (which I affectionately call “QoQ”).

Initially, I hesitated taking part in this pageant. However, Lijia (who’s one of my best friends) was asked to take part in QoQ, and encouraged me to join it too. We both met at a modelling competition 2 years ago and both think it would be fun to participate in another contest together! After I found out that the QoQ schedule was not going to be packed, I decided to join it.

So here I am, blogging for the Seventeen QoQ website! Tomorrow will be the pageant day itself and if you haven’t already voted for me today (you can vote everyday!), please do! It’s the last day for voting and I hear that you could win some really cool prizes if you vote!!

Just a few pictures to make this post a little more interesting:

Hope you guys will enjoy the show tomorrow! See you there!

I’m really stuck on this song ’starstruck’ by katy pery and 30h!3.. it’s catchy, i must say:)

anyway it’s the holidays now and i just came back from bangkok last week:) it was all sun and fun! shopping at platinum mall there was the best experience, do check that place out if you’re heading down there! oh and when i was there on saturday, it was also coincidentally the king’s birthday. and guess what! most of the private companies and government sectors have almost 5 days or a week off! man, is that awesome or is that AWESOME:)

well, the rest of my holidays are going great, catching up with good friends:) i’m sure the holidays will only get better ya, with the many parties and probably overseas trips ahead.. for you all as well!  and here are some pictures of some amazing personalities who never fail to make me smile:)

i can’t wait for friday everyone! hope to see you there at Zirca! i’m sure we’ll all have a ball of a time!

anyway, it’s my Mum’s birthday tmrw! she’s retiring at the end of the year, and i was thinking of buying her something memorable to mark both her birth date and her retirement. afterall, she’s been working her way to retirement just to bring us up the best way she can. i’m thinking of buying her a yoga mat (we’ve made a pact to practise yoga together when she’s fully retired next year and i cant wait!! ) and something else.. something special. but i can’t think of what yet. hmmm.

but anyway, a blog post wouldn’t be complete without some pictures and so these pictures sum up my week:

this was with Anna at Cream Bistro, Pacific Plaza. one interesting thing about us is that we’re in this competition together and we’re best friends! we met in 2007, during the Newpaper New Face competition. being the only two 18 year olds who had to take our A Levels that year, we began to stick together through the competition and studies. now we have a combined blog, which you can read at http://annaimee.onsugar.com

this is a picture of my Mum and i in the SIA business class lounge ^^:

we were waiting for our flight to Tokyo! how i miss those days where we travelled endlessly and discovered so many things about so many countries!

i wish i could blog on and on but i have some stuff to settle for school, even though its the school holidays (well technically so). thanks for reading and see you peeps on Friday! cant wait!

Love,

Lijia

See you all on Friday night, I’m sure it’s gonna be a great party! (:

I’m so excited about this Friday’s show!

My hols has always been busier for me, compared to my usual school term! I’ve been really busy these days, with church Christmas productions, rehearsals after rehearsals, travelling the Europe and the launching of our new blogshop TheFamooShop! Do check us out and support us by joining our mailing list!

Just for fun, here are some of my favourite pictures taken from Paris and Spain!

really fat pigeons in Europe, compared to Singapore!

Glass windows at a rundown church in Paris

Real edible candy-coated apples in Disneyland! (Doesn’t this remind you of Snow White and the poisonous apple she choked on?)

Mickey burgers at Disney!

Tasty escargots :}

Wall paintings at the subway

Pigeons flying away after feasting on this man’s bread crumbs. My favourite pic of all!

The pizzas in Spain are rectangular in shape and are served with this hammer-lookalike-knife.

Meanwhile, in the midst of all these busyness,
I’ve learnt something very precious about myself from the past few weeks.
I think I’ma hermit. Haha.

Despite my extroverted personality, crowds drain me at times and I recharge through solitude moments alone or with my closest friends! (Quality time or some may say) But hey, don’t get me wrong! I totally really LOVE doing the stuffs I do. Just that, well, I’ve learnt that I need to guard my me-times-of-refreshment.

So, all in all, I’ma happy hermit if you give me my shell! :}

SEE YOU ON FRIDAY!
