We might kiss when we are alone, when nobody's watching. We might take it home, we might make out when nobody's there. It's not that we're scared. It's just that it's delicate.

I was bored so goggled for the seven wonders of the world. ahahhaha, still remember the argument I had with sabbie (can't really remember if its sabbie..), well someone, about the seven wonders of the world. And she said that Eiffel Tower is one of the seven wonders and I told that it is not and she insisted. Back to the point, a lot of people, including me (8D), are really blur about the Seven Wonders of the World. So to clear some doubts, Ladies and Gentleman, may I present to you the:
Seven Eight wonders of the world
P.S I love Wikipedia to death.
1.The Great Wall Of China Location: China This one seems to be the most famous amongst the people I know. hahahaha, maybe its because we are chinese?
Random fact: The claim that it is so long/huge (?) that it is visible to the human eye from the moon is not true. Aww shucks.
2.Petra Location: Jordon I have never heard of this before. But its kind of interesting. It is an archaeological site, a "a rose-red city half as old as time". One of those lost cities things. :D hahahah, imagine one day people totally forgot about Singapore and then the whole island will be just left there to rot and one day an explorer found Singapore and everything. Touch wood. People will never forget us. Face the fact, Singapore is a kick-ass country 8D
3.Christ the Redeemer (statue) Location: Brazil This is HUGE. See how some the people are compared to the statue. Unbelievable. The statue stands 38 metres (Which is like 25 of me) tall weighs 700 short tons, and is located at the peak of the 700 metres Corcovado Mountain in the Tijuca Forest National Park overlooking the city. It is the tallest of its kind in the world.
Random fact: It was struck by lightening once during a violent electrical storm but the statue was left unscathed because soapstone, the material forming the outer layers of the statue, is an insulator.
4.Machu Picchu Location: Peru Another "lost city". Machu Picchu is a pre-Columbian Inca site located 2,430 metres above sea level. It is situated on a mountain ridge above the Urubamba Valley. Often referred as "The Lost City of the Incas". I find 'lost cities' so cool. Its like abandoned by people. Forgotten. It's there but no one knows it's there.
5.Chichen Itza Location: Mexico Surprise surprise, another 'lost city'. It kinds of proof that humans have really bad memories, don't you think? How in the world can people actually forgot about an existing place? Chichen Itza is a large pre-Columbian archaeological site built by the Maya civilization.
6.The Colosseum(!!!!!) Location: Rome One of my favourite sights in the world and the second in my must-go list. It's just so huge and breathtaking. It is an elliptical amphitheatre in the center of the city of Rome. Originally capable of seating around 80,000 spectators, the Colosseum was used for gladiatorial contests and public spectacles. As well as the gladiatorial games, other public spectacles were held there, such as mock sea battles, animal hunts, executions, re-enactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Classical mythology. The building ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine.
Random fact: It has been estimated that about 500,000 people and over a million wild animals died in the Colosseum games.
Scary but still fascinating 8D
7.The Taj Mahal Location: India -big sigh- sad love story. The Taj Mahal is a mausoleum located in Agra, India, built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. In 1631, Shah Jahan was griefstricken when his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal, died during the birth of their fourteenth child. The construction of Taj Mahal begun soon after Mumtaz's death. -wipes away a tear-
8.The Great Pyramid of Giza Location: Egypt I've always been very interested in pyramids, Cleopatra and stuffs since I was little. Maybe it’s the mysterious air that surrounds the whole thing. Anyway, the Great Pyramid was the tallest man-made structure in the world for over 3,800 years. Fascinating how the Egyptians could build such a humongous structure when there weren’t any machines to help them.
Done. hahahaha, so interesting (for me) :D Credits to Wikipedia. Did I mention I love Wiki?
Last but not least, VIDEOS
O.O (speechless)
Imagine that we actually have to do all those.
Okay, its dinnertime. Byebye beautiful people
Profile
An ordinary girl with an ordinary pair of eyes and ears, nose, lips, legs but with an extraordinary weakness for all things beautiful.
Was born in 5th November 1994 and is a contented free-thinker.
I’m studying in Dunman High and used to be in Delphinus, which I'm convinced, is the best class ever. We are crazy and can laugh at anything. I just love Delphinus to bits. Plus, they thought me to always Delph (dive) Deeper. Now I'm in 3Gatsby. With equally crazy people, it's a awesome class. Hope that we would be bonded and have two great years together. (No photos now :D)
My CCA is 中文学会舞蹈 and 书法. I’ve been dancing since P1, even though it doesn't really show, becuase my primary school dance was, well lets just say not able to light up my passion for dance. Dance is one of the best thing that has ever happen to me. Even tho sometimes it makes me stop to think "What was I thinking? I can't dance! This is too much" but at the end of the day, it still manages to make me a little happier Plus I realised that most dancers are rlly crazy :D)
I like reading and watching movies. Be warned, I only read books and watch movies with happy endings, because everyone will 'live happily ever after'. So you’ll be dead even before you know it if you try to let me read or watch anything with a sad ending. My favourite movies/ shows are: Lord of the Rings, Phantom of the Opera, Pride and Prejudice, Supernatural, Criminal Minds, Gossip Girl and silly movies. My favourite books are: the Twilight series, Nora Roberts’ books, Dan Brown books, Enid Blyton books, most books actually but I hate sci-fi.
I want to be a very sucessful phyciatrist or an interior desingner(for now. You’ll never know when I’ll change it. The last time was a chef) and earn lots of money to fulfil my dream of buying a huge house in a beautiful place. And renovate it into the most perfect house ever. It’ll have the most heavenly kitchen with every equipment for cooking, a huge library, like the one in Beauty and the Beast, containing more than one thousand books, all with happy endings, a dance studio with full length mirrors, a indoor pool in a glass building, and rooms of all sorts of colours. And of course after spending so much money on the house I would be broke. Then I’ll earn lots and lots of money again and travel around the world.
I believe prince charming exists somewhere out there for everyone. With his perfect hair, beautiful eyes and a soul-melting smile. And that one day he would come and sweep me off my size 6 feet, carry me up his horse (okay, maybe a car), into his gigantic castle and we'll live happily ever after. Hopefully some author will write about us and we will become another fairytale for children :D This is a reason why I can't undersatnd cynics
I can’t fly like superman or crawl like spiderman but I'm going to save the world from global warming when I grow up.
Come on people, the earth is dying. Even though the astronauts and scientists say that maybe we can live underwater or on mars on day, but its nothing compared to earth. And I think it’s a bit impossible too. If its possible we would have already found aliens living on mars.
I love photos, so I wish to have a camera and learn photography so that I can look at them all day. And photos are the only memories that we can actually show others and yourself in detail. So its really useful to people like me. (I can’t really remember stuffs)
I wish to grow taller and fatter. Which is kind of impossible because both my father and mother side the relatives are all short (and I mean shortshort). And its either I have a tapeworm in my intestines or I have high metabolism rate (I’m having like 5 meals a day), which I hope is the latter (its disgusting to have a worm wiggling in your body), because I can't grow fatter (!) :O it’s a sad life to be stuck at 152 cm and 41kg. A tragedy.
I can never remember my dreams. Only the feelings and two dreams in particular. There’s one which I woke up crying and one which is too sensitive to reveal(:
I get carsick easily. Especially if I’m in a taxi or a new car and even worse if they put air freshener or perfume inside. The smell just kills me.
I have excessive laughing gas. You’ll know when I going to have a hard time stopping when the silent laughter starts. The type which you can only see my body shaking uncontrollably. At least I'm happy 8D
Other than some rlly bad triats thats all the important things you should know.. the rest is for you to find out 8D
Oh, my name is Sui Ying.
