So as many of you guys know, I'm back in the States.  I visited LA for a week and it was SOOO good to see everyone again, I missed so much but I have fourth year to make things up to you guys.  Haha, its definetly different seeing you guys in person and talking and hugging rather than trying to shout on skype, ahha. 

But to wrap up this website, here's highlights of Singapore b/c i do miss it immensly...I was crying for days straight and the tears actually went all the way to the esplanade on my taxi ride to the airport.  I'll always remember my last meal--Banana Mushroom Cheese Curry Honey Prata..hahaha...what a surprise boys...sigh.

The Best of Becky's Singapore Experience:

Singapore:

at the heart of Singapore, riding on a boat

watching a 3-D movie about Singapore

Esplanade where we saw free concerts such as What a Great Sunday Morning and a Classical Young Musican Concert with Disney and Movie songs! 

Lantern Festival, the entire park was made of lanterns, and we each got our own!

At the Ice Land where all the ice sculptures were flew in from CHINA and we all had to wear down coats, HUGE ice sculptures inclduing an ice slide and of course an ice car

The whole gang at Mexican BBQ that we grilled at PGP the apartment dorms place, haha, fun times

Yum!

 

Nights:

 

Blowing out the candles on my birthday cake

the gang on my birthday, my dad flew out to singapore to spend my birthday week with me

Me and Manny's winning pose after we kicked ass THREE rounds at air hockey beating ALL opponents, haha, no ego no ego, of course not (manny's wet b/c we ran thru orchard in the rain)

The fun gang on a wed night, everyone's sitting on each other, haha, b/c we're one big family like that

Our favorite King Kong poster in front of a bus stop (there's a secret nick name, haha) and the boys are just being mean....

We spent Christmas at Orchard...see all the pretty lights, here's our winning shot..haha

The happy gang during a farewell dinner for the girls at beautiful chimjes....wonderful 4 course dinner...haha....we were just living it up

There's christmas everywhere!  everyone gathering around christmas daddy Tyler

My fashion show, I represented Thailand, we spent all semester planning "Touch" and it was totally awesome, we got an A+ and the funniest pictures thanks to Noah who loyally went to my show, haha

Clubbing at Attica....just lounging around at the outside bar

Raffles Family Fun:

 

The happy gang on the MRT going to Geylang to get some yummy yummy hor fun

We just thought the Lip disco was funny, haha...oh neeti

 

At night, I walked on all the boys backs, it was as if I opened my own parlor, hahaa....noah got good treatment from hesh and manny too....oh raffles

such a common site in my room, that is why my room broke by the end of the semester, my bed broke, my dead bolt broke, there were holes in my wall, my yoga mat was torn to pieces, oh boys....

This was in my room every night of finals week, AHHH, hahaa, i'm not even kidding, every day until 5 AM we'd play cards, talk, wrestle boys and force them to paint toe nails, hahaa,

Manny and I in front of the sunset at the beach after riding bikes all night from one end of singapore to the other with raffles

More sunset goodness, this was at 8 AM after riding around singapore since 11 PM

the whole gang before going to Club Momo for the night, second official Raffles club night

the girls with their favorite man, noah

Just the girls...partying it up in the kitchen of raffles, haha, how we were not kicked out i do not know

My last look at silly Sidartha as he gathered everything in my room that I had to leave behind...

Travels:

I'm so excited to see everyone in LA, it's when I talk to people that I really start missing them, sigh....

But these last few days I'm really sad about leaving my Raffles family.  It felt so weird having Noah gone but now that he's back, it's the five of us again and studying never ever happens, haha...we just stay in someone's room, most likely mine or jeannie's haha until god knows what time....i had an honors final the next day and the five of us + our honorary eap raffles ppl were in my room just rambling about the most random things, haha....and i'mma miss eveyrone, not just eap raffles but all of raffles, from tea time to dinner to just screaming across halls....i just feel like i'm always laughing with them

and everyone's leaving soooo soon, ahhhhhh, that's why we had to have our farewell dinner this friday...i can't believe that there'll be no more random bridge nights, massive boy fights, nail painting sessions--forced and unforced, racist and dirty jokes, surprise parties, drinking goodness, haha....aww....missing them already

Here's a picture of my raffles family: (haha what a weird bunch we are)

you ever feel like you're two different people?

It's funny because today I was eating lunch with my raffles ppl and one of the guys said, you know what becky, it's funny you're not an only child, haha, but for those who don't know you, I can see how they think you're more serious.  And it's so true.

It's like the epitome of my life in Singapore.  With some people I am so comfortable and they think I'm the silliest loud and fun loving person, but with other groups I just get really quiet and shy...I don't really know why though....

I try to be the same in both situations b/c I love it when I'm with ppl I'm comfortable with but it just comes across as fake to me when I try and I think that it takes a certain crowd to get my humor...I'm a little off, haha

I guess that's why I'm just missing my LA friends so much b/c they just get me...b/c they're just as weird as me, haha....and we laugh at almost everything....

I miss my addy....

I Miss my denexxel and ryan

I miss my vickie....

and of course I miss my josue...sigh

And I miss everyone else too, but i probably just can't find a picture of you on my comp b/c its new...but you're in my heart, a shoutout to jen for texting me a random message from the US, haha, and nick for always having the knack of iming me when i'm naked, haha, but i miss you guys and i'm coming home soon

so instead of studying, i'm sitting in the library being distracted.  guess what i found out!  yesterday jimmy and i saw Sky high which was a totally awesome funny movie, but anyway, i was like Warren Peace is so hot, and Jimmy was like oh my god, that guy?  you're kidding....but look how right I am:

sigh, is that not the hottest guy in the world?  haha, anyway, here's the twist, this is what he looked like in the movie....

 

Man, different hair styles totally change one's look
