I'm having a super bad throat, but I'm still feeding myself stuff I'm not suppose to eat. Ahhh all the delicious fine M&S assorted cookies and today's BK mushroooom swissss tender grill with fries, they're probably something you can't really avoid.

These two days, we've been out for SIFE. It's reallly awesome. I don't really know how to describe the feeling, it's just indescribable. Awesome. It's an international competition and huge event with 44 countries all over the world, coming together as one to make a difference in so many other people's lives. People were soooooo friendly!!!! We werent contestants, we were just plain observers for the events and when you smile at random people, they smile sweetly back at you and ask how are you and stuff. It's such a nice feeeling! And today's South Africa's presentation was so inspiring, Alia almost came close to tears. It's truly an amazing experience to see how much these youths sacrificed for the happiness of others, and the passion that drives them to do even more and contribtue their efforts.

Oh! We met so many random friends. From Japan to Zimbabwe. And the Japanese girls' presentation WAS SUPER CUTE, which made our dear Eugene very excited. All of us got closer to our Mexico friends! Who were random friends we made as well. We brought them around, and brought them to eat our local foood, Jonathan was very excited over fishballs and Elizabeth was very determined to eat her plate of chicken rice with chopsticks. Today, me alia ning got even closer to Elizabeth, though we've only been friends for 2 days! She's such a sweet beautiful girl, and she taught us spanish and we went craaaazzzzy speaking it. In return, I taught her chinese and alia taught her malay. It was reeeallly fun!

SIFE isn't about the competition alone, I guess it's more of the bonding among different countries, coming together as one and interacting and being friendly and alllll. Everybody was so passionate about helping one and another, and cheering for one another.

I loved and enjoyed every single minute of it. : )
