OH.MY.GOD. Can you believe it?! Demi Lovato was in SINGAPORE?!?! I've been a fan of hers since forever! And even while im typing this, my heart is beating wildly just thinking about the magical and starstruck moment when I saw Demi.

And. I. Cant. Believe. I. Took. A. Picture. With. Her!!



She looks so beautiful and she's so friendly!! Demi, stay strong!! Lovatics are behind you!! 

(btw... don't you think my black hair makes me look like Demi's sibling?! *delusional*)

OK... let me rewind a bit...

On 18 March 2013, Demi Lovato held a Special Night concert for her fans in Singapore! I bought a VIP ticket to her concert because I really really wanted to see her for the longest time ever. She's been my inspiration on so many levels that even the night before, I was dreaming (literally) of seeing her!

So once I collected my VIP ticket, I started to queue with other Lovatics to go to her Sound check and Meet and Greet!The VIP ticket comes with an exclusive Demi Lovato T-shirt, Heart attack Poster and a VIP tag. 




It was so warm that all of us were perspiring like mad but still held on and waited for us to go in. 


Demi sang Get back, My Love is like a Star and one more song during sound check... Haha, sorry, my mind went blank when I saw her. Everything passed so fast that I still can't believe I saw her!

During the MG, the security were really strict though :( "No touching, No Hugging, No autograph. No Photograph". 

(In fact, most of my makeup has already melted while waiting in the hot sun. And I couldn't touch up because they didn't let me bring my bag in!)

So I tried to rehearse in my mind what to say to her when I actually see her. 

When I saw Demi, She was so nice though... Saying "Hi, how are you?" And again, my mind went blank. All I could was say "Hi, Demi..." and took the photo and started to leave... Until my mind finally seemed to realize what happened and I quickly turned and said "Demi, you're so pretty and so inspirational!"

And that was it for the M&G. And the long waiting hours for queue-ing for the Concert starts! Good thing I had the VIP pass so we had a VIP queue... Or else... How do I compete with other lovatics that came in the morning around 7-8am?!?!

Once the doors were open, all of us ran in!! After all, the concert area is free standing and all of us wanted the front row! It was so squeezy, hot, and everyone was pushing to go in front!

While waiting for Demi to arrive, we spotted Tiffant Alvrod, a popular Youtuber, and I tried to take a picture of her. She has a great voice! Also, she was very nice to lovatics who wanted to take a picture with her. Literally, mobbed where ever she went that day. 


While waiting, the DJ was playing a lot of popular songs and most of us just sang along to pass time.

 AND FINALLY HER BAND GOES ON THE STAGE!!!!









I was so starstruck that sometimes I realize I would just stare at her because she commands such a presence that you can't help but want to watch her every move. Every high note was hit with perfection and she's so awesome 'live' - even better 'live' if you ask me! Also she's not wearing her cast for her leg anymore but even so... she's still moving around the stage so much that it was as if she didn't even have a leg injury! That's dedication guys! To really enjoy the music and let the fans feel the connection too!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway... the next day at work, I was still in my fan-girl mode and shrieking to every colleague that I know and telling them that I saw Demi Lovato! I'm keeping her tag as my work badge now.



Btw, this was what I wore on that day (took the pic after the whole event so I looked tired!)

Hi everyone!

So recently, my boyfriend got me 2 chinchillas!! I always wanted chinchillas but never got them because it was really expensive. I would always go to pet safari or house of chins to see chinchillas but know that i can never have one. So I was super overjoyed when he bought it for me especially since Moo Moo just died :'( I LOVE YOU DEAR (': I always feel so blessed by him!


Anyway... I got to know how to care for chinchillas and thought that i might share that experience with you.

Please consider the following if you are getting a chinchilla!

1. Chinchillas need to be kept in a cool place (< 25 degree Celsius if possible)

So, having chinchillas in Singapore is not exactly the best idea because YES THEY NEED AIR-CON to cool down. Fans will not do because all it does is regulate the air in the room which means that the temperature is the same. So do think if you are willing to spend some money on air-con.

Personally, I don't on my air-con 24/7 but i do on it occasionally as my room temperature in my living room (i don't know why) is usually around 25 degrees. I will only switch on the air-con after playtime or when i know that they are feeling warm (look at their ears! if there is redness and veins popping up, usually they are feeling warm).

2. They get depressed easily!

Ok, I don't know how true this is because i never experience it with my 2 chins. But i do hear that if you only get 1 chin, it may happen unless you play with them.



3. Chinchillas DO NOT like to be cuddled.

Seriously, this is a major factor. You can't show them love the normal way of cuddling them because they have short attention span. I am always grateful if I am able to hold onto them for awhile.

SO YES, THEY ARE NOT GOOD PETS FOR KIDS.

4. THEY POOP A LOT!

They can like poop like up to around 200 each day. seriously! and the worst part is you can't potty train it. (You can potty train it's pee though) So every single day, i would just clean up it's poop in his cage so that it's clean.

And if you let it out, you have to clean it's poop which will drop EVERYWHERE because it just does!

5. They need a lot of space to run and jump!

In singapore, if you live in a HDB flat like me, you probably know that space is an issue. So my chins actually have a normal starter chin cage. But I compensate it by bringing it out every single day. That way they are happy.


6. Chinchillas can live up to 15-20 years!

So please be responsible for it's life!

7. They are considered exotic pets so you will be sure that the vet fees wont be cheap.

Do go and find a vet that helps chinchillas first though! Not all vets know how to take care of chinchillas.

8. Once you lose their trust, well... Good luck in getting it back!

They basically know the phrase "Forgive and NEVER Forget." So it will take some time for you to gain back its trust if you ever offend it.

9. They run super fast.

Well, if you let it out, make sure not to chase it or it will scar their tiny lives because they hate being chased. So if you want them to go back to their cages, I don't know how you are going to catch them. I made the mistake of letting them roam the living room and i tried to chase them back. It made it hate me on the very first day and slowly I'm regaining their trust back.

Best way is to gain their trust first and train them to come to you when you call before letting them out. Also, try training them in a small area (eg: toilet) first so that it's easier to handle.

10. THEY ARE DESTROYERS!

They like to bite on things. Well, this is because they think its fun and it can help to file their teeth. Just make sure you don't have wires or things that you don't want them to chew then it would be fine.

A word of caution though... My chins seem to like to wreak my house PAINT. yes, chew the paint! So... just be there to stop them.


------------------------------------------------------

But of course... they have their benefits!

1. Their fur is SUPER SUPER SOFT.

"IT'S SO FLUFFY!" -Despicable Me

Like super duper soft. even more soft than any pet (rabbit, dog, guniea pig, hamster) i ever had. So it's super nice to touch! haha.



2. They are cute!


You get to see them hopping around and they might just love climbing on your shoulder which is my personal favourite.

3. They can be trained to do tricks (although this WILL take quite some time)

This itself is cute on so many different levels. Just know that they can't be trained like a dog. IT WILL TAKE A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT.

4. (To me, this is an advantage) They are nocturnal animals.


They will sleep in the morning and wake up at night which is awesome because im more active at night as well. This gives me more time to bond with them

5. They are super clean!

I'll sand bathe it every few days and they love licking themselves clean.

-----------------------------------------------

Ok, so disadvantages outweigh the advantages - the ratio being 2:1.

BUT even so, I love them... and that's all i need to take care for them. They have their cute side and i can spend hours just looking at them. LOL.


Oh btw... do try to adopt a chinchilla if you want to get one. There are many people abandoning chinchillas because it's quite difficult to take care of one.

In fact, the chins that daryl got for me, we adopted (ahem... when i mean adopted, i mean pay quite a lot) it from another owner WHO DID NOT know how to care for them. When i first got them, they were quite skinny and already had trust issues. But nevertheless, I still wanted them because they are cute and I was willing to go the extra mile to let it trust me. Now they are more healthy, and i feel like a proud mom who had just risen great kids. lol.

All in all, chinchillas are great pets as long you know how to treat it properly (:
