sooo, 2 weeks of not updating. lol, i realise the past few entries have always started with that word. anyhow, lots have happened in that space of time i've honestly fogotten most of it.

first things first, the help university college student achievers scholarship award (sasa). those who got the full scholarship received the offer letter on thursday 20th october. and i didn't get one so i was pretty down. june got one though so congrats to her. anyways, i though each school was allocated 1 scholarship each so i wasn't bothered. went out for retail therapy instead at the preview anniversary fcuk sale at one u. got a 300rm jacket at 80rm.the only thing better than retail therapy is retail therapy + massive bargains.lol. i'm so hooked up on the jacket i even wore it to malay tuition class.

yesterday was pretty darn okay at first. had the usual bout of adminstrative crap which i realise i'm overworked for. never thought i'd consider school as one of those sweat shops. got results for the national chemistry quiz which i got a participation for. blergh. got the unsw international exam for schools english results back. DISTINCTION! wohoo. then skipped half of bio checking leaving school certs, testimonials and all that cos i didn't bring my 2dnd bio paper. figured i'd go back when rose was discussing the 3rd but turns out she discussed it the other way round. sheesh. didn't get caught though so that was peachy. then things went downhill when i got the message that zarrin received a partial scholarship. was super snappy, annoyed and depressed trying to figure out what went so wrong that i'd be the only one not to receive a scholarship.

then during malay tuition, i get a call from an unknown number.

hello?
hi kareen? this is trilie from help university college. congratulations.
pardon me? congratulations on what?
did you get the letter abuot the scholarship?
no?
oh. well anyway, since you didn't get it, i'll just inform you that you have received the sasa scholarship from help. a full scholarship ammounting to 16000rm.
*blink*

haha. wohoo! the rest as we say, is history. but i'm happy. lol. okay, i so want to go and watch dh now so i'll just do this another time. probably after spm. anyways, toodles. muah.

allahyarhamah datin seri paduka endon binti mahmood. your dearly departed soul will always be etched in the hearts of those whom you have touched. love gave you courage and courage brought you the strength to rise to the occasion even in your darkest hour. rest in peace.

juke box-forever love, anna nalick

soo, here goes. holidays suck! yea. am i going nuts or what? haha. the only reason it does is cos i have no discipline to actually sit my bum down on a chair and read a book relevant to the god forsaken spm! yea. i have no idea where the lack of self initiative comes from because genetically i shouldn't be that way. so maybe i'm like a freak child! or then again, the recessive alleles from my parents must have somehow transfered onto my dna. damn. me and my dysfunctional genes. do i feel fortunate. pfft. okay, enough ranting.

so anyhow, i'm pretty "cheesed off" (or so my bio tuition teacher likes saying.) cos i can't seem to get the episodes of the OC and reunion downloaded. (although she, i mean my bio teacher, was referring to not being able to award marks when grading essays.) and i've been looking forward to it so much! talk about dashed hopes. dh better not do that to me on monday. i'll be absolutely depressed! so much for destressing. life's been a tad weird these days. nothing short of wanky but nothing more than extraordinary.

i hate it when teachers call me during my tuition classes. although it's only happened twice, but it sucks anyway. the first time was when pn prema called during physics class. traumatising to say the least, cos the class is absolutely tiny and anything i say is heard by every being in the room. even the mosquito which doesn't seem to die off and irritates me every week! what a pest. so anyway, pn many called me during bio tuition this week. weird. luckily bio's fun and comfortable enough for me to answer calls. hehe. yea, so she called to ask me to go to school to do the forecast results for the whole class. i'm so so so exploited! got a whole load of co-curricular slips to fill into a book too. and that caused me 2 back-breaking hours at the table last night! i'm such a pushover!

on to more important and life-determining things, i got short-listed for the help student achievers scholarship interviews which was today! the call came in during physics tuition, of all ironies. anyhow, went to help at around 12 and boy was i shocked to see SO many people milling about. yea, apparently there were many slots and even though i happened to have been scheduled for the 12 o'clock, (reached a bit before 12) i was given a whopping number 64! so yea, thank goodness for june and zarrin being there to keep me company. met pn chai, although i'm sure she has no clue who i am, faith whom i used to sit next to in edusmart tuition, rachel from the chs taylors debate team, zhen yuan who used to sit behind my in physics tuition but quit later on, win jean from my bu malay tuition, sara, who's my sister's ex-classmate form her first semester of help a-levels, and a whole bunch of other people from sri aman and chs. that was fun. hehe.

anyways, waited like 4 loooonnngggg nerve-wracking hours before it was my turn. i was the last of the 3 assuntarians who got short-listed. was freaked cos i didn't bring my original certificates whereas everyone else did and the coordinator was telling me it's procedure for any interview. that plus she introduced our interviewer to the group of us there as the marketing director, which made him so high up there and scary. aaaahh. anyhow, i got lucky cos mr willie tan didn't ask me for my original certs! weeee. was quite a relaxed interview where i basically talked about my co-curricular activities, the posts i held, co-curricular achievements, leadership qualities and academic qualifications. oh and i made up some crap about the only blasted subject which i got a 2a forecast for saying that i didn't have enough time to revise seeing as how i'd just returned from australia and that being one of the first subjects. haha. so i guess it didn't go too badly, but i forgot to mention lots of things, like how i'm the vice president of taekwondo and winning the petaling district choral speaking competition among other things. typical me. god, i hope i get into the next shortlist!

oooh, james blunt is playing on itunes! whee. his voice is a tad sexy. the whole husky, soprano thing he has going. too bad he's not in the slightest bit physically sexy. haha. the "you're beautiful" video made me cringe! in short, nothing to drool over. was discussing him with yuan and we came to the conclusion that he puts on his accents cos when he sings, some parts are english accented and some parts are american accented. wannabe! but i love his songs anyway. haha. how very paradox. okay, the song's stopped playing. so i shall stop bitching.

my dad and sister are in singapore watching bloody cirque du soleil! how annoyingly unfair! dad got the tickets from a business contact in singapore whom he's dealing with now. argh! why do businessmen know how to have fun too??? if they didn't i wouldn't be put through my current agony of not being able to watch quidam! daaayymmm. plus my sister gets to go shopping too! bleh. although i did go on a short trip to one u with my mom today. saw tons of nice stuff in zara which i'm dying to buy but won't fork out the cash for. it's times like these when i question why i'm not drowning in cash to satisfy all my whims and fancies. refrain. abstinence. refrain. abstinence. refrain. abstinence. refrain. abstinence. aaaahh. so much for shopping not being so appealing anymore.

i'm so cheong hei! i bet this is the biggest chore to read. i keep on and on ranting whimsically. haha. whatever. i'm going to chat with fun people now. tata.

soooo seeing as how i'm in my brother's study there's obviously no entertainment around me. bleh. in actual fact, i'm supposed to be helping him out with last minute pmr stuff for malay which is tomorrow. anyways, he's about done. and ooh, i hear non-intellectual sounds. ie the cat scratching out a box in the room. melodious. so anyways, the extent of my duitful sisterly study aiding was preparing snacks: bite-size chicken sandwiches and chicken-stuffed doughnuts. hehe. sounds flashy huh? don't doubt my culinary skills.

went to school on friday and found like 21 students in my class. haha. the only reason i actually went was to collect my law olympiad prize money but su ended up not coming although i specifically told the team that everyone had to be there to get it. pfft. so anyway, had to work out the whole political issue on that most of the day so i didn't do much exept walk up and down between class and the annoying staffroom. talked to ms chew and jo tan about the distribution of money which ended up better on my part for the most except for having to stop myself from saying b******t from time to time. haha. jp. all this diplomacy that i'm getting better at makes me feel so mature. haha.

didn't do much the whole weekend except attend add math tuition. decided not to go for tuition [Edit: SHOPPING not tuition!] with my sister after that. haha. i know you think i'm nuts. but it's just not so appealing anymore. or maybe it paled in comparison to watching the episodes of the OC and reunion which were waiting for me while she was out. haha. i'm such a smooth operator. season 3's plot for the OC is much better compared to the first 2 in my opinion. the characters are more developed and the even bigger scandals make it more the better. lol. i'm such a sucker for all the brainless fluff america constantly produces. aaahhhhh. dh is tonight in the us.hehehe. that's another one with the irresistible plot and cast.

i better go anyway. gotta help out with the exams. and someone just called and hung up the moment i said hello. sheesh. i feel the love. haha. toodles.

soooo....the past let's see, 13 odd days? i don't actually remember much of what i've done. it's all been a huge blur of cheerython, exam results and high school politics and exploitation of children rights. yep. haha. i can be such a drama queen if i want to but i don't really feel in the mood for it now.

anyways, exams got me caught up in this whirlwind of text messaging and phone calls, late nights and (waaay too) early mornings. text messaging with the most unexpected people and getting a clue in on what some people really are like and really can be. whoever thought trials could get me to watch my back even more and to learn to be more streetwise in high school. and here i was thinking it was one of the places i could go to for closure. lol. who am i kidding? anyways, here's a post on my results.

malay-75

english-85

modern math-81

additional math-89

moral studies-71

chemistry-74

biology-72

physics-81

history-67

english for science and technology-88

average-78.3

gpa-1.5

okay, so the blergh marks are all those that fell below the 75 mark border. especially history. i have no absolute idea how in the world to study that. i think it's because of my study habits. i'm not the memorise-every-word-in-the-book persona but more like the understand-and-apply type. and yea, i'm the bum-around-chilling-till-the-last-week type. so yea, that explains my bad grades in moral studies and the subject from the blasted past. pfft.

anyway, on to cheerython. that was a reeeaal pain in the behind. you'd bever hear me say thank goodness for chick peas. lol. i never thought i'd be glad myself to sell those little packets at the cut-throat price of 2rm. safe to say, some personalities think they have the right to throw tantrums about at the whole world thinking they know everything in the world when they're in actual fact absolutely way off mark BECAUSE MILK DOES NOT CURDLE!!! i've never heard anything so ridiculous. that and adding ICE CREAM to melting chocolate as a dip and not letting it melt completely. but then again, i DO have a dysfunctional class to deal with. and now everytime cheerython comes up, many has taken up the habit of laughing at what happened to me. haha.

aaahhh, so season 3 of the OC is back! and so's season 2 of desperate housewives (from this moment on christened as dh on my blog). i'm soooooo glad! now i have weekly fixes i need to satisfy and look forward to again. whoop-dee-doo. hahaha. the new series of reunion is out too. and that's turning out to be pretty darn interesting. although the characters/actors aren't as hot as those of dh and the OC, the plot really gets you going. so all you broadband-equipped people start downloading now! haha. house has been blowing up a storm around the high school region too. i'm contemplating it but maybe i should just refrain from it since i'm already up there in hours at the idiot box watching serials. lol. maybe after spm.

lately, it seems that good music's been churned out by the industry like a chicken laying eggs, by which i mean daily. haha. here's a few of the frequent ear candy i've been indulging in, some of them older than most though. lol. i'm quite a fan of powerful vocals, meaningful lyrics and country bumpkin music nowadays.

idiot box-love story in harvard, 8tv
juke box-nada

ooh, i'm a soap opera junkie.....haha! yea, i'm sucked in by all the sap. my sister calls it "this kind of meesua show". okay, so i have tons to update on. and knowing that just makes me soooo lazy! haha, okay so i'll start with trials then.

so after over 30 hours of sitting at the same exam table here's my verdict. trials have been, to say the least, annoying. and that's because i didn't finish studying my subjects as well as i would have liked to. i basically studied target chapters and flipped through the rest aeroplane speed which didn't give me good odds at all. especially bio. i hope i didn't flip the whole thing. my parents will totally flip on me. haha. except add math! i'm happy with what i got for the first paper, hopefully the second one will be just as good. damn, i've never done anything close to what i did for that paper so i'm just exhilarated. haha. okay, i'll shut up now. i was just called a freak because of my results. =D

hmmm, lou and yuan's joint party. theme-midsummer night's dream. haha, yuan kept insisting i should dress up. thank goodness i didn't! noone else did 'cept for yuan and family anyway. and hwei was wearing my dress! haha, that was classic. it was kind of awkward for me actually, because there weren't many people i knew but ended up hanging out with the assuntarians. that was cool, haven't hung out with them for a really long time. reached home at about 2 because of the post-merdeka-celebration jam all over kl. but that night was memorable. gave me an insight and a better perspective of a lot of things. *wink*

oooh! melbourne! that was a great trip. hung out a lot with ee lin and shen, met marilyn-my cousin's husband's cousin whom we hung out a lot with, and all my sister's summer school friends. they're really nice people, very funny, sweet and everything fluffy.hung out till late some nights having hot chocolate at THE best chocolate place ever! the pricing wasn't really to my liking though, exhorbitant! lol. bought the best chocolate there at max brenner's but didn't share it with anyone cos they cost tiny a-bombs, literally! went on a wine tasting road trip in the suburbs. that was cool. tasted almost 10 different types of wine. had champagne with cheese too which tasted superb together! had dinner every night with shen and ee lin at a variety of restaurants, talk about fattening machines. haha. it was all good but as the plane neared klia and i looked out onto the kl nightline, there was this surge of feeling for my home country. haha, take that for patriotism, ms umma!

oooh! my birthday! what'd i do? study. yea. i did. for the 2 hours i had add math lessons. lol. i just couldn't make myself sit down at the table. woke up late, had breakfast, cooked lunch for my brother, had tuition, then i got my presents! got an iPod from my dad, guess watch from my mom, dkny handbag from my siblings, emma page necklace from sui lin, ang pows from numerous relatives. hehe! erm, jtcy got me a handbag/purse set which is really nice. and had a great dinner at mum's place with everyone. had a really fun time hanging out with my cousins and family. was a really simple birthday but i truly did appreciate my family being there and i might say it was one of the best birthdays in my short span of 16 years.

today we went back to sitting in our normal class positions and boy did i realise how much i do miss my the banter with my friends. the whole day was ups and downs, but i was really happy most of the day. settled all the ceriathon stuff for tomorrow. i hoooppppppeeee against hope that it goes as planned. mainly because even though i'm not in charge, if anything goes bad it's me who'll be suffering the consequences. honestly. i'm not whining about responsibility but it seems to me that people don't want to do anything unless i push them to? or that nothing's planned and thought out well enough, and everything's always last minute! although all that was liberated by a simple small hand with scrawlings from some of my fellow classmates. that was really sweet. out of the blue and completely unexpected, just the surprise that made my day. will post that the next update because this is getting long enough. haha. i bet whoever's read this far is probably falling out of their chair in slumber. haha. i'm out!

omg, i haven't updated in half a month. haha. that's phenomenal. don't i have a great thing going? lol. anyways, just a quick update. will do more when i'm done with trials which i'm currently 2 days into.

so the main reason i have been mia is that my faithful laptop decided to take a turn on me and blow up. okay, so not literally. but it's unusable (is that a word?) all the same. and now i'm at the mercy of my sister and whensoever she feels generous enough to let me take over hers. bleehhhh. what a crappy time to lose my computer.

so anyway, we're in the thick of trials right now and boy i'm loving it. haha. ohh yea. soo much. first day was average. malay 2 was harder than normal. i only finished with 5 minutes to spare for the first time ever. and erm, english 1 was cool. quite a complain-y paper. continuous writing did the topic 'things that frustrate me when shopping' which was pretty cool. hehe. maybe i'll post it up one day. although it probably sounds so bimbo-fied. hmm. that's something i'll ponder over another day. history was the biggest pile of *bleep* i've ever sat for. managed to figure out some stuff but the most i'll be expecting out of that is a 2A. and that's only if i'm THAT lucky. sigh.

oh, there IS one spot of good news. tomorrow's my birthday! whoopee! not like it'll be that fun cos i'll be at tuition and at the study table sitting away my bum but i turn 16! i'm that young. yes, i know, feel old right about now all you ancient creatures. haha. oh, yuan turned 16 on wednesday too so HAPPY BELATED 16th BIRTHDAY to him. and david and viknes turn 17 and 16 on sunday so HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you guys too!

anyways, update on melbourne, yuan and lou's bash, more trials happenings and my birthday after i get my computer back. IF i get a computer back in the first place. and even then, it mightn't be functioning. wish me luck. toodles.

no more flights to climb. no more teachers to feign attention for. no more frequent trips to the blessed staffroom. no more bullying by a certain group of people!

so tomorrow i'm off to the k land! oh and by which i mean koala/kangaroo land. whichever you please. i personally like kar land. =P hahahaha. i just like the fact that i'm going to be frolicking in melbourne while poor everyone else is in the classroom working hard to elude teachers' gazes. have fun darlings!

yea, so the school week's been fine. basically have just been stoning the whole 2 days. haha. except during bio and physics. bio did this experiment on alleles, genotypes and phenotypes. (gosh, i feel so smart already!) used different coloured beans and all. suuupppeeerrrr brain stimulating. decided we should be real systematic and separate all the pairs, turns out our results were the most off the mark. haha. such losers at bio we are.

physics was embarassing. haha. discussed contextual problems on einstein's theory and i didn't do it. so we nerds just decided to look like we'd done it and read the answers from the back of the text. and the answer just had to be skewed the one question we decide to be smart. shhheeeessshhhh. lol. saved the situation a bit by pointing out something, but yea, embarassing all the same. finished the syllabus and many started chatting with us so she didn't hear the bell. haha. since est was next, i decided we should go back a lil late and only told her class ended like 10 minutes after the bell. lol. i do rock at this business!

omg, today was so fat rice day! (nasi lemak in case you don't get it.) wasn't going to have any break but since everyone was eating it i decided to get one too. ended up buying 2 and the 4 of us shared the second one. (anaz, kasi, me and lee quin.) theenn, i go home and find out that ji ee's bought lunch for us. fat rice. again. lol. was still full from break so skipped that and had it for dinner! i'm so fatty-ful now. haha.

trials are 15 days away! i've barely started with the revision. damn, hope this doesn't screw up my forecasts if not i'm fried. literally. or maybe not. whaaatever. wish me tons and tons of luck cos i'll be neeeeeding all of it! and whatever you do, don't refer to juo nan's testimonial on my friendster account. it's FAKE! fake i tell you!

omg. i'm not done with the packing yet. will probably end up with a towel less and a sock short or something. haha. will update when i get back if i'm not pooped or have ended up banning myself from the lauppy. ciaooo.

i see the light! oh my god, today, for the first time in like 3/4 days, i saw the sun a.k.a. the light! i never thought there'd be a time when i rejoice to see the sun come out from behind the clouds. really. today's been a much better day, the weather's not so humid, the air's not so acrid. wheeee! haha. yesterday i was talking to chris and he came up with that petition down there. lol. print it out, get signatures, scan them and send them to me. we must save the environment!

so this freaky/crazy/annoying/stupid thing happened to me today. my sis and i were at one u and we're just walking around heading towards the new wing, right? and then as we're passing the elevator, this weird guy dressed in all black with a black esprit bag just calls who's coming down it suddenly says "good morning." so we're just like "huh?" and continue walking cos we don't know him, but he calls out to us and starts asking us these weird questions on this perfume by lancome called miracle. yea. so i'm cautious about him cos he's promoting lancome but he's carrying an esprit bag which is really quite dumb. guy dressed in black clothes, carrying black esprit bag promoting lancome? suspicion meter overdrive!

so then he takes out this pink box which said mirage and was all,"we're getting feedback from our customers about mirage, which is coming out at the end of the year for 189rm." and he dabs some of it on the back of our hands. and me being miss suspicious just waves it around far away from my nose cos no way am i going to sniff something a stranger dabs on my hand. so we're like, oh it's not our type of fragrance. theennn, he takes out a blue box and does the same thing and we're like, it's more of a cologne than perfume. so by now he's forced one box into my sister's hands and he takes out another one and shoves it at me and says,"now the price is at 79 9 but for you i free one for you so you have standby birthday present." like wtf? so i just shove it right back and say,"thanks, but if we want them we'll just head over to the counter and get it later." stupid guy.

anyways, later i found out from my sister that two of her friends had been approached by the exact same guy already. and got conned into buying those products too. dumb guy. so moral of the story is, don't take things from strangers. lol, actually, don't buy anything from guys dressed in black, carrying black esprit bags and promoting lancome products. or something similar. haha. oh by the way, the air inside one u is hazy too.

i should go study now. i mean, after my daily tvb fix. ciao.

API's over 349 = hazardous. convenience stores are out of "sexy mask"(according to chris) supply. and oh, bbc actually did a report on the haze in our country. fascinating. haha. check it out.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4140660.stm

oh, listen to this joke. and by no means am i digging at anyone's nerves. i'm just creating cheerful ambience in this dreary country.

"meterological department confirms that the haze is caused by rafidah's ass on fire." (with reference to AP's and the API. if you've been reading the papers that is. although i haven't. =D)

so since i didn't do anything productive today, i figured i'll post some pictures. just found out that pictures can be posted without having to have photobucket and the sort. =D

heyyy. how ya doing?

haha. today was oohhkay. basically half the class didn't come today because of the prefect installation. so when i got to school i found out that i'd literally be the island surrounded by empty desks. lol. anyhow, pe periods we got malay work to do cos apparently too many people failed the mid terms (about 1000% of the target.) so everyone has to do them now. not that i'm complaining. hehe. juo nan and kasi came to sit in front of me and put sat next to me so thank heavens i wasn't the lone ranger. haha. physics was to say, lacklustre. syllabus is almost done now. and oooohhhh. we learnt e=mc2. haha. omg, i feel so brilliant now.

had an early break today, then chilled out in class till the prefects came rounding up the stragglers. haha. not that we got caught. we're too smart for them. what can i say? we're science 1! installation was okay. i think the student population is nicer this time round. i think literally all the prefects were cheered. so that was that. oh yea, today was ribbon day. by which i mean that i go to school and juo nan ties a cool purple ribbon in my hair like 5 minutes later. cooolll. haha. was sweet that ribbon, although many didn't think it very disciplinary. lol. only took it out during install where she was scolding this girl and almost slapped her. haha. got scared after that since we'd already gone in late.

so currently, there are 2 permanent fixtures in the radio which i kindly nicked out of my sister's room. haha.

x&y by coldplay.
the phantom of the opera soundtrack.

they are honestly goooddd albums. go check them out cos they're super cool. oh and by saying that i just earned xrm from bmg. heh. (fall for that and go check into jack and jill kindergarten.)

okay, i just have to say this. the freaking haze is pissing the hell out of me. i mean, i can't even see the house opposite mine clearly. and the whole country smells of smoke, which makes you not want to breathe, but then again, we can't be doing that can we? lol. and yea, driving around is like weird, not that i drive, but weird too because it's "like mist and vapour but it's actually smoke and soot" to quote my sister. seriously, it's disgusting to inhale. okay, enough rambling about that crappy grey blanket.

juke box-the hardest part, coldplay

i woke up at approximately 8.58am today thanks to my new alarm clock a.k.a. chien yih. haha. thanks man. i was supposed to study you know, seeing as him and yuan took the liberty to scold me one at a time for not studying. so today was supposed to be the start of my study regime. ended up fiddling with random things in my room like my certificate file, decluttered my bed and stuff. oh and just for the record lee, (haha!) i now have 19 certs. 5 of which from co-curriculum awards day. lol. only started studying at like 11 for erm, 1/2 hour? yea. i'm baaaadddd at this discipline thing.

anyways, i just realised today how much i thoroughly dislike/borderline loathe anything resembling indonesian labourers and lorry drivers. mainly because of personal experiences.

like how the annoying pest of a lady who used to work on the construction of the house behind mine. every single day she won't fail to start singing at the top of her indonesian-idol-failure voice right about the time i start falling asleep in the afternoons. (back then i used to take naps.)

not to mention those horny males too who plague the area with their presence. every evening when i used to go for walks they'd be standing around, half-naked mostly, creating such an unpleasant aura. i used to be so freaked out i'd pick up a huge wooden stick and run with it so that none of them come near me.

yea, and the fact that every morning at 7.30 and at 5 in the evenings, the whole residence turns into somewhat of an immigration at the guardhouse because they're streaming in and out like it's their first home. their absolutely swarming the country and i bet half of them are probably illegal anyway.

lorry drivers. hmmph. road hogs and absolutely horny pains in the asses too. today in the car i was just leaning in front to pass my sister something and when i look out the window there they are accelerating forward so they can have a look into our car? gee, go get a gro. and they were laughing about it too. dumb people. not that i'm insinuating anything conceited but yea, don't people have a right to privacy in their own cars? right. that's what iskl debate's done to me. go check out the universal declaration of human rights. haha. it's coooollll!

oh yea, today i got the new coldplay album. yay! am listening to it right now and it's pretty good if i may say so myself. =D cost my sister a whole 33.30 rm but that's okay. it was worth it. and i didn't pay for it either. haha. jp.

the 'rents are out tonight. wohoo! time to part-ey! haha. more like cram both my siblings into my room, attempt to study more and switch on the airconditioner because the lousy haze is inducing massive headaches and killing the country's citizens>workforce>economy>population. tnb must be really happy about my new aircond usage. more profits for them. the indonesian government better pay for the cloud seeding that's bound to be carried out because i heard it costs bombs and honestly, it's not even half our fault we're swimming in smoke. bleh.

wohoo. tomoro's sunday. which means monday's just 2 days away. and i'm not cheering because school's starting. monday's when we have hilarious malay tuition classes. haha. yay!

okay. time to get some chemical oxidation and reduction into my grey matter. ciaaooo.

so, today was co-curriculum awards day. woooo. basically, they just gave out certificates for extra-curricular activities and we watched presentations from most of the clubs, societies and uniform units. which, in all honesty, was just a repeat of the sewo concert. my point is-why did we even have a sewo concert? yea. exactly. whatever. anyway. down to the good part. my *ahem* taekwondo club also had to perform! haha. how interesting right? but only because i got to break 3 planks of wood in front of the whole school shocking them out of their mistaken reverie that i'm a worm/penguin/jellyfish/lembik. haha. to quote a few.

"satu persembahan yang menarik. tidak sangka sekolah assunta ada pelajar yang begitu merbahaya." asimah.

"i'm so scared to go near you'll now. so many science 1 girls in taekwondo. don't want to go near you anymore." rose.

[while patting her chest]"wow, i didn't know you can do flying kicks too!" tan lee lee.

"i told evelyn,'you and kareen are about the same, so lembik with the hair always flying. tak sangka boleh pecahkan kayu.' haha. but very good." asimah.

"wah she's going to beat up her boyfriend." random charmaine quote. (huh?) =P

"i know you're going to go back and do an x-ray even though you say there's no pain at all." anaz.

haha. so basically now all the teachers are telling me that they don't dare come near me and what not. and my dysfunctional class is so into learning how to punch the 'whacker' and break planks. although that's forgiven because when we went out they did a whole "go science 1!" cheer thing. haha. gotta love em. so basically, the whole day i just worried about the performance, sweat profusely in stress that karate would be better, listen to random comments and chill out in class. haha.

so yea, i have got to be the biggest weirdo yet. recently, i've been doing things strange to normal. well normal being defined as the average teenager you can find-watching tv, yakking away on the phone, homework *ahem*, going out and the likes. or at least that's what normal is to me. so anyway, here's what i've been doing lately.

1. going online to read www.bbc.co.uk/news aka bbc news.
2. sleeping before 12 everyday.
3. deciding that shopping malls are boring me out of my mind. (case in point one u!)
4. bringing a camera to school and not taking a picture of my sollid form.
5. leaving the internet running while i do other stuff. (by that i mean that it doesn't really interest me)
6. watching only 1 hour of television.

oh, i'm going to be making a trip to melbourne this month. just to accompany my dad, so the whole family's tagging along. will be going two days earlier with my sister cos there's flight complications (the problem when booking late.) and staying in my second cousin, michelle's apartment in melbourne city. the problem? i don't want to go!!!! well, at least not without my dad. or mum. i'm still a child!!!! i neeeeeddd a parent! yea. i'm not so independent. sue me! i'm only 15! oh and also, i'll be missing the last 3 days of school and 3 tuition classes too, which sucks! mainly because i like going to school! there, i said it. now laugh. someone call the doctor. or better yet, psychiatrist.

i'm going to go study and let off my steam now. hmmph. bye.

idiot box-don't have one in my room.
juke box-victory, bond. guess why?

where do i begin? yesterday was great! let's see.

woke up early to have a hot bath before going to help for THE competition. i was soo excited but so very nervous at the same time. i guess because of our expectations this time around. so anyway, we registered at a quarter past 8 and almost immediately we're referred to as the 'last minute team'. lol. lucky team number 33. our marshal this time was junie, who coincidentally is the vice president of the a-levels law student council or something of that sort and the one who helped us get into the competition. so anyways, we got there early and found out other schools had sent up to 6 teams! and here we were with only one team, i was quite intimidated cos schools like du are really good, what more if they send so many teams.

the five games this year were the same as last year. sooo nerdy fun. haha. the 3 whodunnit? cases were much easier than last year except for the one lee quin and i worked on. got all the answers right though, which was great. then for trivia quiz, we found out a few of the questions were actually the same as last year's. lol. cliches were funny, haha. they even had one by yoda and as usual, one by buddha. the funniest was napoleon bonaparte. "never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake". after that was what's your verdict?. that was good too. got both of the cases with all the reasons correct. best alibi and best plea was okay. worked on that with su and lee quin. guess what? was so much pressure for me. lol. the genus this year was fruits. comparatively easier compared to last year's which was dances. yeah. got 7 of them right. missed out on blackcurrant, ciku (which they spelt as chickoo, btw.) and pomelo. they posted the results for the first 3 games before lunch break. we were tied for third then with 58.5 points.

moot court was booringgg. was about school bullies this year. the bailiff wasn't so funny this year. maybe cos he didn't have the build and tone. hmm. anyway, sat through that then they announced the results. i wasn't really expecting anything. mainly because i wasn't confident about our alibi and the fact that a few teams got perfect scores for guess what?. anyway, when they announced that du got 2nd runners-up, i have no idea why but i kind of lost hope. maybe cos that was the most i was expecting. lol. then they announced,"first runners-up, sekolah menengah kebangsaan assunta, and they only sent one team." i was so shocked. haha. was soooo liberating the fact that we won second place. aaaaahhh. a medal, cert and 150rm in my pocket. heavenly.

so we took pictures and stuff, changed, then headed off to school for the sewo concert. that was cool. because of the company. haha. performances were okay. some were reaallly good like jean's dance and the bhangra. had a great time with may, rachel, joyce and a few cu members. met armand for the first time. showed off my bling bling, haha, and saw miss chew at the registration table. honestly, the lady's never been so happy to see me. she even hugged my in front of salmah. after that had dinner at cameron towers with sa ee and sui lin's families. sat with my darling twinnies which was super fun. saw sweet yee there who was taking out. then headed back to sa ee's place to chill out. was fun using the massage devices and stuff. (yes lee quin, sex toys.) then came back, went online for awhile and passed out on my bed at 11.

yep. my epitome of one of the best days one could have. okay, now i reeaallly need to do some math. love ya.

aaahhhhh. tomorrow i'll be going for my second law olympiad!!!! wohoo! so after all the struggle to get into the competition my efforts really did pay off. not to mention my sister's connections with the law department. i can't wait for it! the games are really crazy fun, albeit nerdy(!), and the best part is we're not going to be chaperoned! hahaha. moot court's going to be great and i reaaallly reaaaaaaalllllllyyyyy hope we live up to the feat that our seniors have achieved, if not better it as my mum says. not to mention the cash prize which would really would boost my current pathetic financial status. haha. i'm just sooo hyped about law. i even did a tiny jig after unexpectedly receiving our faxed-over participation forms yesterday. life is gooooooddd. hopefully our luck outlasts the whole competition.

okay. so that's enough of law. haha. i never thought i'd be saying this but the school library is now my new sanctuary. it's the absolute best place to chill out during free periods and study in the blasting air-conditioning. (let me remind you that my frugal lifestyle doesn't permit me the air conditioner at home.) plus the librarians aren't too bright either. i get to chew on my candy while filling my brains with stimulating facts or duplicating juo nan's homework. haha. the irony of it all is that my library card got stolen last year along with my purse at camp. so now i borrow either swit yen or rachel's library cards and go in without my name tag. got it all planned out too. if anyone asks why i came in with either card the day before, i'm just going to say, "oh! that's my twin. you noticed?" =P

days left to spm-105

these days, the teachers are really starting to get us in the studying mood. almost all our teachers are prompting us to start sacrificing our luxuries, i.e. television, the internet *ahem*. education is everything. well, almost. oh and little old me's trying to start a new lifestyle of early nights and days sans afternoon naps. am i not an angel? haha. yeeeaaaa.

oh, comic relief. go humour yourself over these jokes which are soo beyond me. they're so lame you actually start laughing.

i feel like posting again. hmm. lately, the world's been coming to an utter chaos. people are dying before their time, not to say that hasn't happened before but of late it's really beggining to hit the papers like those ping pong bats attached with balls. (remind me what they're called?) again and again and again. the people in this world really have nothing better to do really. it's either running over children with vehicles or blasting landmarks to smithereens. pfft. how spiritually gratifying.

anyways, sarah jane, i miss you!!!!! but i'm so proud you made it to the world women's juniors yea babe! come back sooooonnn!

today was a busy busy busy day at school. had soooo many forms to collect and fill. i swear these people should be sued for child labour. (the un-verbatim definition for child is an individual under the age of 18. ;P) there's only so many times a person can fill out their class name list. thank god for dhar and anaz. i'd probably drown in papers if it weren't for them. literally. classes were fun though. lol. peals of laughter going round most of the day. it's the dysfunctionality again. this time cos of our ability to make hilarious jokes out of something so trivial as vapour rub. haha.

juke box-everybody's changing, keane

in case you want to know, i had a greaatttt weekend. lol. yea. ermm, but i'll start with before that i guess.

bad news first. last week, i took 2 tests/quizzes. university of new south wales english and the national chemistry quiz. both for which i didn't pick up a book. so naturally, i'm just going to get dumb participation certs. bleh. i can't believe my resolve for procrastination outwits my conscience again. i reeeaaalllyyy need to get started on studying if i'm planning on actually doing as well as i'm aiming for. if i don't, well i guess it's the job of the unsung road sweepers or toilet cleaners for me cos no way am i getting anywhere without good results. okay. there. maybe that'll get me started.

oh, we actually got our taylors college debate certificates last week. wheeee. finally. i have so few certs to get authenticated. wonder how i'm actually going to get a scholarship with that few. sigh. most of the activities i joined have no certs to them which sucks. anyway, they called us down to the office and met the tc lady there. had to do a survey for them and naturally i chose help allll the way. haha. got 2 free passes to the battle of the band final in sunway too but ended up giving it to mon instead cos i'm not planning on going. a few half rate bands + huge crowd + crowd's aromatic sweat? no thanks.

yea. so on to my weekend, i actually had soo many things lined up. rach's birthday party at divino, vi campfire, cu dinner at the club. yea. didn't go for any of those in the end. lol. rach's party and vi campfire were at the same time too so i would've felt so quilty if i'd have had to go for either one. especially since i know yuan and yih have been working soooo hard on it for so long (so long i practically haven't talked to them in years!) and well, i think this year will be the last i'll see of the cempaka people. sigh. would've loved to be at both though. and my last year of high school too.

anyways, saturday morning woke up early and went to one u. guess what i did? duh.....shopping!! yay! so anyway, i ended up not buying anything much for myself even though i spent a considerable ammount. mostly stuff for the rest of the world as usual. okay maybe not as usual, but i like buying stuff for people. got an eyeliner (finally!) and half a bag for myself. bought ken a shirt which he liked so much he ended up wearing it to dinner that night itself. seee, that's what's satisfying about shopping for other people. yea, so dinner (which coincided with rach's party and vi campfire) we went out to jade for a company dinner which was yummy-yummy-yummy-fying. haha. then chilled out at beh ee's house which i haven't done in aeons! like honestly, i haven't seen my darling twins in more than aeons. booohoooooo.

sooo, sunday was fun. woke up late then went to the sauna with my mum and sis. spent like an hour alternating between the steaming sweaty sauna and the icy bone-chililng japanese bath. haha. had the whole place almost to ourselves so naturally we created havoc. haha. just imagine tornados in the bath. had a groovy lunch and after that practiced some of my domestic skills in the kitched cutting fruits for relatives. haha. was sooo pooped after that, had a loooonnng nap before heading out to ikano. had dinner at secret recipe, did some errands and met rose at the bakery. my goodness, that lady was dressed sexier than a fox. by which i mean she was dressed hotter than me in my normal t and pants. yea.

so anyway, great weekends over. reality's set in and i'm in this dilemma whether to go for law olympiad or national physics quiz. really now, what is up with me and overscheduling? stupid, stupid, stupid. maybe i won't go for law though. dumb people haven't even contacted us yet. sigh. anyways, going for malay tuition now. gonna be hilarious as usual. love going for it cos the company's great. ciaooo. don't miss me!

okay, short entry.

i am soooo doomed.

tomorrow is the national chemistry quiz @ kuiz kimia kebangsaan @ k3!!!!! guess who's prepared?

not me. and i'm still sitting here and lazing about doing nothing about my state of ignorance. i think i must be the only one who isn't bothering because the other participants are all studying their behinds off and tackling the past year papers. i suck. probably going to be dumped with a lousy participation cert, but then again, i'm not exactly expecting to win right? okay. i'm rambling.

on another note though, whoever was present today got chocolates from mano for all the diagnostic tests we've been marking and analysing. hehe. two apiece of those tiny cadbury ones. delicious. although 1 of mine was stolen! (i'm onto you juo nan!) that's the problem when you ask 2 hyperactive people to sit in front of you when others are absent. bleh. haha.

oh. here's something umma said yesterday when i asked for permission to go out of her class the second time in the same period. haha.

"how many times do you go up and down everyday?"
"5 or 6. most of the time more."
"do you lose weight?"
"nooooo."

yea. so i think i should go study some chemistry lest i should want to fail. lol. knowing me, i'll probably end up doing something else again. procrastination's the name of my game. ooh my daddy just called and he's bringing back starbucks! whoopeee! here's 2 quartrains i found interesting. just because.

That David played, and it pleased the

It goes like this The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Maybe I have been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

There was a time you let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
And it's not a cry you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

oh my god. my whole body aches like i'm 60 and strapped with rheumatism. and i don't even know why.

sooooooooo, lately i haven't exactly been updating on my lacklustre life. longest period of not updating currently stands at-7 days! lol. yea. i haven't been having a lot of time to go online and all the past week. been busy catching up on all the homework i haven't been doing the past few months. feel bad for all the books i've been borrowing lately (namely from juo nan, cassandra, fui san and anaz) but i don't think i'd survive without them either. it's not like i copy blindly to say the least, i just use them as....reference? right. that was supposed to make me feel better. yep. i feel none the relieved.

anyway, due to my short hiatus i won't be updating on every single thing that's happened in my life lately. that would just be insane because tons of things have happened lately. lol. so i'm just going to give you a sneak peek on the more defining or annoying parts of my life. basically that's gonna come down to a few things. oh, and i'm doing this in backward chronological order because my memory doesn't serve me so well. lol.

apparently my mum calls me early in the morning to tell me that if i'm still planning to go to one utama to get the jeans on sale at zara i had to get ready by 9.40. and well, knowing me, my dysfunctional brain just mumbled out mmphh's and went back to sleep. woke up after that at 9.50 and realised the whole house was empty except for the maid! bleh. was pretty annoyed but i sent an sms to my mum anyway and she felt so guilty by it she actually came back and picked me up. haha. brilliant stroke of luck. so i got my jeans in the end although i would've bought 2 if it hadn't been for my 'kiam siap-ness'. (yea yea mr.x. haha.)
aahhhhh. 16th july 2005 = harry potter and the half blood prince. my sis and mum went to get our pre-ordered copy at ikano at 7 in the morning because they expected a massive crowd. turns out it was pretty lacklustre. hardly anyone went. but anyways, they got back around 8 which is when i started reading it and i finished the whole thing at 10.30pm! which is in total 10 hours of non-stop reading minus the distractions being the sauna, add math tuition and a trip out for dinner. hehe. i'm so thrilled i'm done with the book. although the ending's kind of sad. can't wait to start dissecting the details one by one with someone. don't want to spoil it for all you people. =D
friday. quite a lot happened today. got our spm timetables today during physics! lol. pretty psyched up about it. getting the timetable that is. lol. officially, spm starts on the 12th of november and ends on the 30th of november for me. and after that..................bring on the partying! wohoo! okay, i won't turn into one of those nutcase avid party girls, or a sarong party girl, haha. probably just go out with a couple of friends, get drunk, crash at someone's house and suffer a major hangover the next day. lol. sounds like a superb plan. right. oh and i'm definitely hitting the rock climbing gym at one u! guess why? ;)
topshop had a student lock-in sale too. borrowed fui san's library card cos mine got stolen during camp last year. haha. was supposed to hit the store with my sister after school but in the end her whole gang of college friends ended up coming along too. lol. arrived later than them cos my dad was going to singapore so we made a detour to his friend's house to drop him off. bought a pair of shorts and a denim skirt while my sis got this cute white handbag. then walked around with her gang before going to chillis with some of them, namely jia liang, zi hwei, jin soon, pui EE. was cool hanging out with them. saw a few familiar faces. alvin and marcus were at the topshop sale. lol. and saw keong hann (yuan's brother) too. (word of the day-fornicate. haha.)
i skipped school on wednesday. haha. basically cos there weren't going to be many lessons. rose and belinda were off on courses. and i don't listen in malay or moral either so there wasn't a point in my going. ended up waking up at 10. studied for like 1/2 hour = 9 pages of chemistry. then watched miss congeniality 2 which was soooo funny. yea. i'm outdated. but i watched it in the end anyway. people said it wasn't so good but i think it was hilarious. lol. maybe cos i'm a sandra bullock fan. heh. lazed around the whole day and did some backdated work too. then had a hilarious session of malay tuition at night. all in all, that day really proved my lackadaisical attitude. haha. okay. i just needed to use that word.

i learnt a few things this week. lol.

lesson 01-when chiens wen, yih and hwei are together, always and i mean ALWAYS be on the lookout because they're probably going to slap you with pranks left, right and centre. which is exactly what happened to me. and i was so totally befuddled beyond words really.

lesson02-in life, there are some people who will always come back and bite you on your behind. even when you haven't done anything. basically, refer to s and her characteristics. i have no idea how anyone can say what she said because honestly her actions are way way way off sanity. (ps-i'm not going to post what happened in case someone else comes back and bites me in the behind. AGAIN.)

oh. an update on domestic democracy, ZALIFAH is now the new head prefect! wohoo! congratulations! love ya loads baby.

okay, i'm going to go finish up my chem work which i'm passing up for the first time this year tomorrow! haha. yes. i AM a slacker.

woke up late today. was supposed to go to the jacuzzi in the morning with my ma but was too tired so continued sleeping till lunch. then got ready to go to school for my leo uninstallation. lol. really glad that i'm out of the club already. i've never really been a leo person as much as i attended some of the activities and emcee-ed 3 times. lol. and simultaenously too. haha. so reached school at 1.30 and before i know it i find myself walking around amcorp with june, fui san, siew may and shi ni. talk about fast. 5 minutes to be exact. the moment i got out of the car i jumped into a taxi spontaenously without even knowing how many people were in the back. lol. so anyway, walked around for about half an hour. got cones at the mcd's stand on the ground floor after walking up to the one on the top floor and coming right back down again because we looked 'sesat'. haha. then the stupid cab driver ripped me off for the ride back because

he went the wrong way and we had to pay more.
he said there were more than 4 people so he charged extra.

so instead of 3.90rm, i paid 5rm. argh. and he was talking teochew all the way. like i understood him. anyways, after that was installation. no comments on how that went. all i know is i could have not gone and i would've still got my certificate. hmmph. could have got some add math work done. bleh. so anyways, after that came home and had a shower then went out to dinner with the family and hian chung, who's back after awhile, at kim gary's in the curve. nice food they serve there. then went to esprit awhile. witnessed a man (no idea who, but if he's got a son i wouldn't mind. haha.) winning 100 grand in the centre court. some mbf card competition or other. lol. then came back to watch badminton. malaysian open semis. lee chong wei got into the finals. heh. proud of my countryman. (right. me and my patriotism.) haha. then was surfing the internet and finally went to sleep at about 2.

today

woke up late obviously. haha. just in time to get ready to go out to one u with my dearly beloved friends to celebrate anaz's birthday. (a week earlier cos next week she's going out with her mom.) dad sent me to the drop off at the old wing and met up with everyone at times. (aka the old mph. =P) everyone meaning may, rachel, cheryne, francine, yuen, mei ling and the 'important person'. decided to have lunch at the seed cafe, but after settling down and looking at the menu we all decide to get up again and go to chillis. haha. and me being the last one out was embarassing! couldn't even look at the waiter when i said sorry. sigh.

on the way looked down at a hot guy manning the rock climbing boulder and decided we'd go back and chat him up. haha. had to wait half an hour to eat at chillis so went to look at belts at one of the stands around. then decided to go look for the hot curly haired guy before lunch but curly wurly wasn't there. dissapointment. haha. lunch was sweeeeeet. had tons of food and drinks all round and tried everyone's food. mine was the best. or so they claim. prawn alfredo something and a chocolate banana smoothie. yumm. dessert was smooooth. we had a brownie with ice cream and 'da bomb', which was a warm chocolate cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and thin chocolate layer on top. swooooonn. anyone should try that if you're willing to fork out what we did. haha.

after that walked around the shops. tried on clothes and pissed off the workers at topshop where kat joined us for awhile. haha. bought a top at wh for my sis then went to the 'boulder' and curly wurly started talking to us instead. haha. he asked us to take a shot on it but we said we were wearing skirts. and he's like "yea, that's the excuse i get from everyone". lol. he's got this sweet accent though which makes him hotter, ya mei ling? haha. had fun there and we were walking off then mei ling has this great idea that we should go back for round 2 so cheryne, her and me went back to ask him for the price. and when cheryne said she was 17, he was taken aback. haha. started laughing and said,"oh really?" yea. so that was that. then walked around even more. bought a funky necklace at axxezz. (which had to die on me 10 minutes after i got home so i don't even get to wear it. hmmph.)

then cheryne, yuen, rachel and francine went back so it was just 4 of us left. went to zara and tried on clothes. may tried on like 6 pairs of jeans, forced by mei ling, and bought a pair which was 90rm cheaper. great deals at zara. great clothes too. then anaz's dad sent me home and i got to watch the last 2 games of the malaysian open men's singles final. yay! watched lee chong wei defend his title in a superb game over the world number 1. then went out for a late dinner at souled out. (haha, yih thinks i should buy the shop up at the rate i go there.) man. two good meals in a day. had 'creamy yummy' pizza which was just fab. said hi to lou (who's back from england.) and all who were having nadia's farewell dinner which my sis went for. yep. and that's my day.

oh. in one u today i saw this man literally beating up his kid, scolding him im public and kicking the poor boy. the whole abusive behavious got me so pissed off. and right after that got pranked by hwei and bros. (it's not a company yea.) she switched phones with chien wen and the rest, we'll say, is history. haha. okay. gonna pick up my sis now. ciaoooo.

hmm. so 3 days have passed. and erm, don't really remember what i've been doing lately. must be the pot i've been addictively smoking. in other words, the episodes of dh i've been watching. haha.

wednesday

timetable-math, math, english, moral, history, bio, bio, malay, malay

mano's still away so math was a whole revision period. by which i mean opening the book and not doing any reading cos i ended up talking. haha. english belinda didn't come either cos she's still caught up with her BOSS room. sigh. moral was moral. good thing about the lesson was they called us down for the measles shots i wasn't taking. haha. went down with the rest anyhow cos no way was i going to sit in class with umma. lol. anyway, they needed me to get everyone together and 'menyelaras'. haha. sat on the bed in the room watching all my babies getting their shots. sooo cute watching them all nervous and all. and no, i'm not a sadist. then went to the staff room to keep some stuff in the class file on many's desk and got embarassed but that i won't go into detail about. =) haha.

went back late for history and she was already done with the lesson so bummed around even more. bio was suuupeer sleepy so i got anaz to start asking questions. haha. ended up with a nice chat about cutting things up and 'kepercayaan kepada tuhan'. rose "what's the function of the jidal akar?" me "protection." puteri "oi!" so as you can see, put's a horny horny girl. don't go near her! haha.we're good at distractions, anaz and i. malay listened in for awhile then totally fell asleep on the book, which was good though. was real refreshed and hyper during extra physics. sat with krys, lee quin and put while snacking on the ketchup-py fries bought by lee quin. haha. went back and smoked pot. the had a shower and went for malay tuition. was boring but that's usual. came back and watched more dh then went to sleep.

thursday

first period was chemistry. tan lee lee's first lesson with us since she came back from her op. started the redox chapter which i've already done in tuition so it was kind of a refresher for me. was soooo boring though. chem is just not my subject. end of the lesson brought this really nice surprise, but that's just for special people to know about. heh. moral discussed a paper on prominent women from different areas. then malay some people acted out the 'chair' drama. yawn. 4 periods after break were all free. i really think the school should start paying me substitute fees cos i'm the one in charge all the time which isn't much of a chore, but then the responsibility sucks. haha. joyce and may came up last two periods cos there weren't any lessons for the whole school. had a hilarious time catching up on stuff cos that girl (not may, lol.) comes to school on an average of once a week. i swear i'm starting to forget what she looks like. lol.

came back and managed to slip in an episode of dh before heading out to physics tuition. my goodness, physics is currently this constant dominant in my life. 4 out of 5 school days. fell asleep for almost half the class until my phone started vibrating and wouldn't stop. was darn embarassing cos the room is tiny and any sounds reverberates around the tiny area. sheesh. didn't fall asleep anymore after that though. haha. came back and had dinner after picking ken up. then had a whole desperate housewives marathon and finished the whole series! (haha, some people are only at episoode 10 and 1!) it's just absolutely addictive! sad that it's over though. sniff. then surfed up everyone's blogs and read some. after that went down awhile for a chat which was refreshing after being cooped up on the computer for so long. went back up, had a late bath and went online again while drying my hair out. did my 'good deed for the day' though. haha. wrote out yuan's acknowledgements for his moral folios. (haha! i hope your teacher reads this.) then packed up all my stuff and fell asleep 2 seconds after lying down.

friday

today was okay. mano came back. she's had the time of her life at times square on her course/[quote]'vacation'. went to watch the imac theatre cos she was too scared to go on the rides. haha. but she deserves a rest. she's been so stressed lately. learnt some then the whole class helped her to mark the diagnostics that the 3rd formers took this week. malay was okay. went through the novel and i actually participated in the discussion. whopee. right. haha. break hung out with athiya, krys and has after what seems like a gazillion years. they're just rib-cracking hilarious! english was a mighty guilt trip. belinda came in after a month, okay maybe half, and gave us a lecture on how we should do our work. she was real stressed and on the verge of tears. hated the whole lecture thing but thank god the school called her up (the irony of it all.) cos hong wanted to see her or something. phew.

went down to look for many who was also super stressed up. computer was dying on her, or maybe she just didn't know that she needed to click the 'ok' button. haha. helped her proofread and print a 3rd form test then carried up all their diagnostics which was a killer. soooooo heavy. was fun grading those tests which were suuuuppeeerr easy. could have aced it in ten minutes of under if i'd taken it. haha. the answers were hilarious. rose came in halfway through. wanted us to grade her papers too. "i told pn many, first testlet 1 then testlet 2 and after that testis 3." haha. many "seela, that's the problem with bio teachers." HAHA.

came back and watched alias then showered before add math tuition, which was a refresher on the stuff i'd already learnt last year but forgotten. hehe. came back for dinner then updated myself on the tvb i've been missing because of my [quote anaz]"desperate addiction"[unquote] haha. now gonna watch another alias episode which just turned up on tv! wohoo. muah.

hiii. i'm really slow on the blogging these days yea. but i think i'll be decreasing the frequency these days cos obviously i have to study! haha. right. i'm just saying it. everyday i bring revision books to school but don't make any use of them. just giving myself back exercise you know. okay.

monday

hmmm. went to school really tired cos slept late. haha. not really. anyway, today was the start of the new "regime". real dumbla. bell rang at 7.25. herded out my dysfunctional class. (dysfunctional because there was hardly anyone there. like less than 10.) had a funny argument with reneesha about who sits where and won because they gave specific instructions that the monitors had to arrange. haha! so i arranged it according to "alphabetical" order. (also according to friends.) haha. she was like,"having trouble asking them to go out?" in this snide way for which i answered,"no, i'm having fun." because my class may be dysfunctional but they do listen to me in the end. in your face. lol. i started last but finished first. assembly i think was sooooooo quiet because the other monitors actually took the whole alphabetical thing so seriously. haha. except yours truly's class.

anyway, after that had math before mano went to times square for her course. soo funny. "eh girls, how to sit taxi to times square?" erica "teacher, you just stand there and wave your hand then when they come you tell them where you want to go." HAHA. bio was soooo boring i fell asleep for the first time in history. but before that i had time to ask an essential question. "teacher, is your son hot?" haha. she didn't answer but after class she gave me this funny smile. est was just dumb as usual. did an activity where we had to unscramble 10 words. guess who finished first? and christina's comment was "oh, congratulations! not bad ah, you have good brains." sheesh. just cos i pretended i was not well when i wanted to sleep. history i actually listened to ms yap. takes a whole load of concentration but now she's faster than me so i gotta step it up! hmmph.

went home after extra est. sister was sleeping so took her laptop to my room and had a whole desperate housewives marathon. haha. watched 6 episodes then had a short nap and went for dinner. then surfer awhile and had a shower before going to malay tuition which was fun as usual. on the way back was so tired dozed off in the car. came home, packed my stuff and went to sleeeeeeeppp.

today

hmm. today was fun. first thing had special assembly for the head prefect candidates to make speeches. again, VOTE ZALIFAH! i think she's the best candidate out of the four. after that had a short monitors meeting then got many to come up for physics. she's so absent that lady. haha. but it's endearing i guess. physics was okay. sat with lee quin and had nice conversations on the taylor's journal. haha. or was it organiser. then had a 5 minute break before we got up to view the oscilloscope. too bad it wasn't working. haha. after that had est. everyone walked to the computer room 3 floors up the new block cos christina said we were supposed to use the room. smart old me was late cos i had to see many and then we find out we couldn't use the room so i didn't walk all the way down and all the way up 3 floors then down and up again. haha. suckers! class was the usual. a waste of time. then history just stoned the whole way through.

moral was so tired i fell asleep on my left arm. don't know what happened but when i woke up i heard umma say,"tengok lim kareen, kawan dia ketawa." so i want to know what about me they've been doing cos yuen, anaz and lee quin start bursting out laughing. then pravina and kausy and all start too but noone wants to tell me so i decide to go to sleep again. then i hear lee quin say,".....mike tyson..." and it so hit me. they were talking about my right ear which a part of has not as much earlobe so there've been speculations that a rat/cockroach bit it off when i was younger. sheesh! so then i ask umma what they said and she said,"nothing. sangat cantik." my god, i was the butt of everyone's joke. even the teacher. haha.

then math mano's gone on her course so i took a small lesson in tamil. here's what i learnt.

how are you?-yipedi yirigingke
i am fine-nala yirigangke (?)
come, come. have some coffee-vange vange, kopi kuringe.
shut up-vayi mudedi/mudeda
white guy-valekaran

thanks to my tuition teachers purshyla and monisha. anaz is another karpesutevelakarechi so she doesn't count. haha. go figure what that meant. dad picked me up today cos the driver was on mc so i followed him to lunch with his business people. kl hilton, baby! went to sudu for the lunch buffet. starters and dessert are buffet really. the main course is ala carte. got a lamb rump stew which was just divine. i even ate the salad-y thingys on top of the lamb. hit the sashimi bar and naan for the starters and dessert sweeped up the cheesecake section which are in bite size pieces and drizzled chocolate all over it. yum! had the time of my life there. viewing the art. and the hot valekaran waiter who was walking all over wiping tables. hmmph. too bad he wasn't my waiter. i'd have had a beeyootiful time instead of listening to 3 old men discussing the middle east. sigh.

came back and has a 3 hour nap which was swell. woke up, had a shower then came down and surfed the net. listened to 'depressing' music then went for chemistry tuition. yu sheng just started today. didn't know he was coming. hmm. i actually understood the class though. yay. mom picked me up after and now i have to write a letter to the school to say i've already taken my measles shot. haha. will have fun watching everyone else getting theirs. muah!

friday

school was goooood. felt physically really comfortable compared to other days. weather rocked too. cold yet the sun was up. rockers. had a good math lesson. although not long cos they had special assembly to introduce the new prefects. zalifah's a head prefect candidate so people, VOTE ZALIFAH! had no malay or english cos zainon's busy with the pbm concert and belinda's busy with her BOSS room. haha. spent the time getting all the paperwork collected (aka making everyone forge their parents' signatures) and chatting with sharm, mon, purshyla, dhar, puteri, sarah and anaz. haha. that was cool. they were teaching me indian terms. "vango vango" means 'come come' so i'll be using that from now on. watch out for that. and maybe i'll marry a "valekaran" when i grow up. haha. physics was sooooo funny. learnt about induced currents and stuff. could understand everything so that was nice. before this i couldn't understand how those flemming hand rules ever worked even though i knew which fingers stood for what. so yea, now i agree with many when she said,"i think i do a good job of it." haha. had add math tuition; was falling asleep in it. then came back and chilled. went to sleep early cos i was sooo tired. first time for a friday night!

saturday

supposed to wake up early but didn't bother in the end. haha. woke up at 11. chilled around a bit. watched 2 episodes of desperate housewives. that stuff is goooooodd. had lunch then went for more add math lessons. air cond started leaking like 15 minutes into the lessons so it was freaking hot the whole way. sleepy too. was nodding off while the teacher was teaching next to me. hilarious. came back and just bummed around in front of the computer. checked out other blogs then had a short nap before dinner. went to cameron towers with sa ee, beh ee and sui lin's families. sat with the twins and they're just absolute terrrors when they want to be. they wanted to go look at the pool so had to follow them up and down countless times. oh and when eating with my cousins, it's survival of the fittest so basically the food's gone before the plate can reach the table. literally. if not it'll be cleared like 3 seconds after it does. haha. then went to beh ee's house with the terrors in our car. gosh they are soooo cute fiddling about with the windows and directing us back. watched wimbledon (not the show) which was just good stuff. came back and surfed more (not waves) then went to bed. haha.

sunday

today woke up somewhat early. went to the club with my mum. jumped into the sauna first today with my history book(!) then dozed off in the jacuzzi. haha. felt soooo good to unwind after 3 weeks wihtout it. heavenly. then came back and had lunch before going out to one u with my sis. was super hyper there. bought

3 t-shirts (mng-2, zara-1)
belt (mambo)
hair straightener (watsons)

my whole life i've never seen mambo on sale. was so surprised to see it was on 70% today so yay! mng was just crazy. but the stuff's good if you're patient enough to go through the yucky stacks strewn all over the place. love the tops i got! gonna wear one of them when i go out next week so yayness! was so tired when i got back. legs were killing me so i decided to have some therapy. watched desperate housewives(!) for hours until dad was done with golf at 7. went for dinner at kim gary in the curve. cool food but the service is pretty slow. although they should alter their menu because bread with ham and cheese really does not count as cheese and ham pie! then went to popular at ikano to get past year bio and history papers. =D pre-ordered the harry potter book then came back and now watching wimbledon reruns cos it's drizzling and play's been suspended. oh, found out that dynamitez got first for cheer. it's cool cbn and sbu now have another school to contend with. haha. hope our school didn't do tooooo bad. till next time. much love.

hiii. lol. soooooo. yesterday took a real miracle to get through. i thought i was good to go to school so off i go being the naive person i am who hardly ever gets sick. felt fine the first 10 minutes of school. then got called down for a monitors meeting. the whole walk to the conference room thing got me all sick and yucky. then many comes in and introduces this whole new regime we're supposed to impose starting next monday during assembly. that made me sicker. (is that a word? haha.) not cos she was talking, lol, but cos this school is just spiralling out of sense! sigh. thank god i'm leaving. although it was weird hearing many speaking in malay. all my science teachers teach in half english which makes lessons cool! (okay, that was random.)

so then we had a short briefing about stuff. (stuff i don't have any memory of anymore. lol.) went back to class in the middle of math, doodled on my books pretending i was scribbling down the questions. haha. english belinda didn't come to class. figure she's probably busy with her BOSS room cos it's in contention for the top three in the country so way to go! hope we get top. losing to schools from johor or kelantan would be so anti-climatic. go assunta!(er yeeeaa. school spirit.) moral was just stoning while umma discussed questions. then history was another round of sleep. bleh. bio was absolutely horrendous. mainly cos the fever started soaring to high levels. couldn't even laugh cos my whole body ached till i couldn't feel any hunger pangs. and many asks why i walk like 'that'. sheesh.

slept the whole of malay even with the incessant chatter of my dysfunctional nerdy class. (dysfunctional cos noone seems to think that being in 5 science 1 warrants any studying.) zainon didn't come to class which was just heaven. had physics extra class after that with science 3. walking to the av room was torture but surprisingly i was awake through the whole lesson and actually learnt some stuff. wohoo! felt sooo smart. then came home and had a nice looooooong nap to recuperate. bliss. wanted to have a shower but the frustrating plumber was over so the water supply was cut. he comes at the weirdest hours and bangs the doors around the house like a hurricane. pissed me off real bad cos i was all ready for a hot bath. hardly ate dinner too. everything i ate tasted bitter so ended up drinking barley. peachy meal. didn't go for tuition (yay!) cos i had a headache. instead, lazed around with my bio book and ended up sleeping at 10.45 after daydreaming at my table. haha.

today was interesting. firstly it was dhar's birthday so HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY! it was also report card day. bleh. the whole ordeal was entirely interesting but i'd rather not relay it cos some parts get me so peeved. to cut things short, came home at 8 and slept even more. i think my daily routine nowadays ever only consists of sleeping. haha. went down for lunch, listened to 'depressing' music (haha!) while reading the papers (gasp! haven't done that in forever.) ahh. here comes the good part. i....................did some bio work! my sloth brains actually got some work done. mostly work i'm behind in thanks to lit, but still! it's work! then after that went for physics tuition which has been on hiatus for 5 whole weeks and didn't even sleep a wink in it. wohoo! that's such an achievement cos i always nod off sometime in the second half hour. haha. felt smart cos i actually understood stuff i had no clue about 5 weeks ago. hmm. the whole break thing was probably good for me. haha. came back and had another peachy meal. then watched tvb again. it's like my daily ritual. hmm. need to do something more productive with my time so i can feel smart more often. now i'm planning anaz's 'surprise' party with yuen. erm, surprise?

sigh. 2 whole days of understanding physics. what more could i ask for? i am SO not a nerd. haha. muah.

so. lately i've been slacking on this blogging thing. =( i have valid reasons though.

[extreme fatigue from lit nite]

[a variety of sicknesses]

bleh. i feel horrid now. sunday woke up late-11. didn't do anything much, bummed around in front of the television, had lunch, then went back to sleep again till 5.30. heh. had dinner after that at ming tien. haven't gone there in forever. the food's deterriorated since forever ago. (got the pun?haha.) came back and chilled at the computer then watched random desperate housewives episodes on my sister's computer before catching the winks. interesting day that was.

monday was bad. had a lousy feeling when i woke up. went to school, had assembly then chilled for an hour cos many didn't come to class. =) started having these lung-annihilating coughs. slept in math cos this woozy feeling was taking over me. ahh. bio filled in our peka forms, then learnt about reproduction. oooohh. haha. rose went over most of last week's work so not too blur on that. est went to the dentist's room to check the class' cards for our check up which is bound to be soon. haha. have fun all you people who didn't tick 'enggan'. history ms yap was busy. had fun times with bum, anaz and juo nan. haha. i think my legs almost died. after that helped many carry her stuff to the car just to miss extra est! haha. then went back to class and slept before going home. yay. took a loooong nap before dinner then watched tvb and went out for malay tuition. those bb guys are seriously funny. oh and apparently, nigel's dad knows my dad. weeiirrdd. went back, had a phone convo then went to bed.

today woke up feeling dizzy, had a bad cough and fever plus all my limbs ached like the sky was falling. went to school anyhow. had 4 periods of physics which was just teeedious. slept through most of it but can't have expected more cos i could barely climb the steps to class. had a whole clean up ordered by toh. then did experiments which i can hardly make out. bleh. irish ministers came to school at around 9.30. really punctual for vips so kudos to them. then after physics anaz blared out my sicknesses to many which was just not nice. all of them wanted me to go home. many gave me a lecture on taking care of myself. sheesh. felt horrible through the whole of est so decided to call my mum in the end. borrowed many's phone to call which was sweet of her. went back half an hour later and slept. alternated between sleeping and mr and mrs smith (!) but i think that took the oomph out of it. had a shower, dinner then slept more on the couch. was supposed to have chemistry tuition but decided on the way that i was too sick to go. haha. gonna try something productive now. maybe my dizzy brain'll actually function. buh bye.

soo. the past three days have been a whole flurry of excitement. i'm sooooooooo tired it takes great effort to even walk or move but i wouldn't change a second of what's happened because everything, in retrospect, probably was a lineup of chain reactions that led to a great close. the stress and hardship that's been gone through, i think, had paid off in the sweetest of liberating ways. (hopefully that sentence makes sense. haha.)

thursday

had to pass up physics today. went to see many first for the slips of paper. then went back to class to finish up everything because i hadn't drawn my diagrammes and graphs. hehe. was rushing through everything so that i could go down to the hall for the last day before lit nite but then many sent for me to help her with more stuff so i figured i'd just take a breather from lit nite and do something else. ended up typing in marks for all the subjects with erica and anaz. pretty fun chilling in the physics prep room but realised i did pretty bleh compared to the class. sigh. the aftermath of skipping class.

went down to the hall to help out with everything. practiced the dance with the other 5, then helped out kathryn and the rest with deco. after that mrs n came. went with her and erica to the staff computer room to type out the script but s called me back to be a standby emcee. practiced finale with the whole club then they released us for a 10 minute break but noone came back even after 25 minutes. haha. s blew her top. then had a whole run through of the show again. things went more smoothly. yay. after school organised all the lightings and placements with mr bala (who's the horniest av guy ever!).

pui yan "you better not sit with such a sexy pose." (when i was chilling on the staircase with yuen)
me "what sexy pose? and why?"
pui yan "mr bala's getting horny."

haha. then went home. was so tired but chilled the whole day then went out to sui lin's house for awhile. nick, drew and drian were having tuition so we sat on the kitchen floor chatting. then shifted to the back porch but the mosquitoes chased us in. went to the upstairs hall for all of 3 minutes then finally shifted to sui lin's room permanently. talked awhile, watched some tv, then the twins came in after tuition. sooooo cute! they were reading those 'lao fu zi' books. haha. and eavesdropping! to think they're only 7. had a little fun with them then had to go back. packed all my stuff up for the big day.

friday

ahhh. lit nite day! reached school at 7.05-ish. hall wasn't open so went to class to chill with anaz, cassie and juo nan. heard hilarious episodes on cassie and her plastic bags! HAHA. but those are too personal for the internet. went down to the hall after that. stashed all my stuff in the changing room then got ready for matinee. changed really early and got mimi and thira to do my make up. didn't bother with the hair yet and wasn't gonna bother with accesories but then miss boey made erica put on hers so i did too.

i really screwed up matinee. i really really really was so below average it was embarassing. bleh. especially announcing helen keller on my own. pn mano just came in at that time and i got a shock seeing her. my cards slipped and i lost my words. awkward pause there. urgh. and wasn't used to the lighting yet so it was all weird. choir was a tad too soft apparently. oh and after the opening part, i went in to change to my choir outfit. apparently, while i was changing the door was open so the whole world saw what i'll leave to your imagination. haha. but the horny av guy wasn't looking our way. so only female eyes. phew.

after matinee had a briefing. mrs lim made a few nice comments. she's so sweet! came back for the show even though she had to go to seremban for her niece's wedding. after that went outside gate c to wait for joyce. was so tired so me and erica sat on the tarred road. haha. when joyce came with her driver we lifted our hands up like beggars and all. so random! haha. went to amcorp for lunch at mc d's. saw yi kinn there. then walked around chilling till 2. evita wouldn't let us bring in food so we left the drink on the floor outside while we went in. haha. came out and it was still there. wheee! went back to joyce's house for showers. corrected our speeches and the lineup cos they changed it yet again.

after that went to the hair salon at state with joyce, rachel, dhar and erica. the ladies there were really nice. haha. realised that my cantonese is just trememdously horrible. haha. was fumbling around trying to talk to the lady cos all of us weren't cantonese inclined. then heard one of them speaking hokkien so yay! haha. really funny those ladies. but they were really nice and made my hair look real pretty with the huge flower anthony paid for. (hehe!) went really late to school cos dhar came later and her braiding took soooo long. haha. i was chatting with the stylist in hokkien and it was real funny all the plots she came up with.

went to school and waited for the professional make up artists to come. wohoo! there were 3 of them and they each did different things with my face. real happy they made me look nice. was soooo soooo sooo nervous while waiting for everything to get settled and started. mrs n came to give us pointers and prep talk us before the whole thing which was really really sweet and supportive cos noone's ever done that before.

during the opening, i almost died of embarassment. like halfway through my explanation of gradens mrs toh just grabs the mike from me and screams at the audience to keep quiet cos sister enda wouldn't be able to enjoy the show otherwise. sheesh. spoiled the whole aura, mood and effect of our well planned entrance! sigh. choir was cool after that. the performance was good and i think we all remembered to smile for once! haha. after that everything went off without a hitch. the musical dance was cool! audience loved it! yay! at one part, mrs n came in to look or her gold necklace and fell down slipping on a step. i was so scared she'd hurt herself but she was fine and she even found her necklace in her sleeve. phew. haha.

after the school song took sooooo many pictures with all my friends and most of the elds people i've worked with. sad that i didn't get some but i got tons anyway so i guess that's satiable. my sister's like the most patient photographer ever! went to a&w after that. squished into dato's car with hwei, lee quin, my sis and yuan. the place was full so we went to starbucks. walked there with all my stuff and in 3 inch stilettos. crazy cool. but the after effects suck. i can't even walk properly now. =( starbucks was fun. hung with yih, yuan, lee quin, my sis, sanjay and calvin. let's just say the staff there were interesting people. haha. walked back to a&w at 11.20-ish. hung about with everyone who was there.

dad picked us up at 12. sent lee quin back before heading home. took a few more pictures with the family then washed and blew dry my hair and went to blissful sleeeeeeeeeep at 1.30. =D

saturday

woke up at the ungodliest hour of 6.30. sigh. went to school to wait for the bus to sunway college. the busride was sooooo bumpy. couldn't sleep at all. reached sunway, had a briefing then went on a tour of the campus with college ambassadors which was just hell-ish. walked so many flights of stairs i almost died. the weather was so hot and the most part of the buildings were open air so i was sweating profusely. sheesh. add flirts in to make things even peachier. oh! saw siao huoy after like 6 years. dunno how she recognised me though cos i know i look nothing like when i did in std 5. maybe it's the msn and friendster. tried to keep awake during the talks by scribbling notes on papers with dhar and joyce but fell asleep eventually. haha.

lunch was lacklustre. oily fried meehun with fried chicken and a tiny cup of semi cold juice. after that went to the main hall for a study skills workshop. found out that i have proficient study skills and am well to do in most categories so, wohoo? slept through the 2nd half of the oxbridge entry process talk. haha. went back after the prize presentation. noone from our school won but oh well.

came back home and sleeeeptt for 4 hours straight. haha. and during that period, everyone saw pictures of lit nite before i did cos the camera battery was dead last night and my sis uploaded them while i was out. then woke up, had a shower and went out for dinner at mum's place. yummy yummy yummy. ji ee treated cos her birthday was last week and cos girlie and shen yang came back. wheee! had so much to eat which was such a change compared to the last week. i haven't been having much to eat cos i'm always busy during meals. i might as well have been fasting. haha. had a gorgeous banana split for dessert. shared with my sis, ken, ju and gene. =D

school's been rockers. now i reeeeaalllly have to go get more winks. night. much love.

today was quite the anti-climatic normal wednesday. sigh. first thing passed my clothes to dhar. then went to see many. after that gave athira most of the stuff i normally do before heading to the hall. went to the changing room at the back of the hall to try on one of hwei's dresses with erica. according to deb we look like paddle pops. wohoo.

a whole lot of us were cracking it up behind the curtains while "jane eyre" practiced. had choir after that. redid it soo many times. s was screaming at us quite a lot, especially at yin khuan who couldn't take it so she quit! i just stood there gaping like a goldfish really. i have no comments on what happened. after that chilled behind the curtains again with hwei and zalifah.

i let nellyn try on my dress today cos erica asked me to bring it. she looked fab in it, too bad she can't wear it. they're being asked to find long sleeved dresses. like hello? what era are we in? lazed around with hwei's pillow cos i was sooo sleepy and tired then went for recess. may's not coming for lit nite. bummer. bought 5 tickets from swit yen for my sis, yuan, yih, daryl and deven.

n came to school at 11.30-ish. sat around with her conjuring up literary scripts then saw many and anaz at the pavillion too so went to join them for awhile. was fun chatting with them while they did work. for once i'm just watching! on another note. i broke my full attendance before the exams and many won't change it for me! sheesh. she says they have to timpart upon us good values and if she did she'd become like just another person who would do something in favour of others. ='(

oh, during full dress i gave my test pad to n but after that i never saw it again. all my math homework was in there! all those hours slogging it out during the hols have gone to waste. told mano about it. she was really understanding. said i didn't have to do it again if i didn't have time and excused me from all the work she's giving this week. rose was there too. excused me from work too and said she'll even do a short run through of this week's work next week so that we're not all blur in class. wohoo. love my teachers!

after that finished up the script with erica, n and asimah then went to the edi room to print it out but all the computers were just too spaz. either the password wasn't accepted or the discette couldn't be read. sigh. was so super tired by then but met n who brought us to the senior assistants' room. went back at 3 then sleeept till 7. after that had malay tuition. now i'm gonna do my physics. i'm out.

tan lee lee's husband dropped off our papers in school yesterday. sigh. i wonder why she couldn't have changed my grade to 2 when it's soooo borderline. bleh. grade average is 2.0 and got a measly 76.8 point average. my position's gonna plummet! ahhhh! school was hectic the first half yesterday. had tons of things to do for many. sat in that little corner of the class right in front of the teacher's table and filled in forms and marks. swell.

after break had lit practice. mrs n came back to help out. had a short run through of the whole thing before school ended. then went to klcc(!) with lee quin, hwei, zalifah, yih and yuan cos it was yih's birthday. wohoo. HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY! before that stopped by at hwei's house for showers. we were laaatteee. as usual i guess. while waiting for hwei to get out of the bath called yuan. me"we're on the way. leaving now." yuan"who you trying to kid?"haha. watched 'batman begins' which was so-so. the action bits were so quickly shot you barely see any of the action but hear tons of noise. lol. was sooooo cold in there plus had iced coke so it was freeezing!

then went to burger king to get food but i went to tower records with yuan (he got x&y) instead cos burger king isn't really my scene. haha. dumb kfc was under renovation or something. then went to get the costumes at hartamas but got caught in this maasssssivee jam in the middle of kl. realised that we didn't have the 400rm deposit so we had to pool all our money including yih's. some other people are too 'kiam siap'! (dumbo mr. x) hmmph. then dropped off lee quin and zalifah at the shop to go get our stuff from hwei's house. sang the birthday song for yih (which took all of 3 seconds) before jetting off again. plus the costume shop wanted 1000rm deposit so had to get moooree cash.

arrived suuuuuppeer late for practice and let's just say the rest is history. don't wanna post anything about it here cos something's just aren't meant to be publicised. slept the moment my head touched the pillow cos i was extremely tired.

today was okay. before break wrote out another script during assembly. then did peka in physics. skipped est and went to the hall to finish the script. after that did some deco stuff then printed out the script in the teachers' computer room. sat down with n and pn asimah until 2 in the hall and vestibule literary-fying our scripts. sigh. then went with n to s' house to change her car before going to hartamas. had lunch with hwei, erica and zalifah. that was fun. erica really thinks i'm anthony! i am soooo broke. haven't even gotten my money back for the costumes.

after that came home, had a shower, lazed around sms-ing, went online, watched tvb and went for tuition which was sooooooo long. slept through half of it. now i'm gonna pack up and sleeeeeeepppppp. got tons of clothes to lend other people. night.

mum woke me up at 10 in the morning today! 10am! wanted to know if i'd typed and printed documents for her yet so i mumble an answer in this dry husky voice and fall back on the bed. too bad i couldn't sleep anymore. sugh. was up till 2.30 on the phone and typing her documents so obviously i was pooped. went down for some food but the table was already occupied. turns out tua ee and ee tiu were already at my house after travelling by train from seremban. sigh.

went online for a bit. i think i vaguely remember uttering some rubbish to chris in a conversation about how if his dad's from philly then he should be indian. aaaaahhhhh. how utterly embarassing! i neeeeeedd to find out what i said! went back to sleep on the couch after that. woke up at like 2 cos beh ee's troop came back from their stay in cyber lodge. my poor little brother didn't eat lunch cos i was asleep and noone cooked for him. haha.

then the adults went out to look at some stuff so it was just us kids at home free to do anything we wanted. wheeeeee. we got out the wine and downed all of it. then we scooped out fish from the pond and barbecued it on the hot plate. delicious. yea right. haha. if only. showed ju my dress and let her try on my gorrgeeoouuss shoes. it's so unfair! she looks so tall and slim and model-ish! gee. all the good genes deserted me.

after that went online for a bit. read more stuff and checked out other blogs. then got ready for dinner at souled out! wohoo! souled out rocks! dad got a goodie bag of complimentary gifts and a tag which said "daddy dearest". cute. had a snapper creole which was goooodd. ordered a pina colada but the guy heard margarita so they brought this lime concoction which was soooo sour. bleh. had to pay for both in the end which was unfair cos customers are always right! hmmph. they took a picture of our family and put it in those "your souled out moment"cards so now we have 2 of em sitting on the tv set. heh. i look horrid though.

now i have to start reminding people to bring the stuff i need to borrow for tomorrow's full dress. sigh. can't wait to be screamed at. that'll be the highlight of my day. hmm. i think this is my shortest entry yet. =D

ooooooohhhh. today i went to ou in the morning with one purpose-get my dress for lit nite! yay! that was crazy fun. went with my sister cos anthony had something on so erica couldn't come along. =( anyways, i got my dress! wohoo! mom dropped us off at 10 in front of the new block. shops were just starting to open at that time and it's the best if you want privacy cos there aren't many people around. hehe.

walked around a few of the shops which had dresses in them. saw this cool one in the window of tangs studio so went in to try it and walla! perfect fit! although i didn't buy it straightaway. went to more shops to check out other available stuff. there weren't many that fit my quota though.

[quote erica x10000]"sweet and pretty! must be floral and pastel!"[unquote]

haha. i didn't get a pastel one in the end. but it is sweet and pretty and floral (a tad?). really cool blend of colours ranging from tangerine to purple. base colour is pink though.(muh favourite colour!) bought it the second time we went in and the stupid salesgirl who unhooked the dress from its hanger looked at me like i was a shoplifter and was all,"this is the second time today right?" dude, people don't buy dresses straightaway. they're not 10rm or something in that range. obviously i want to look at other things before i purchase something of that cost!

anyway, she was waiting outside the door when i came out of the changing room. what a stalker. like a dress would fit in my small handbag! then she was the one who handled the whole purchasing transaction so, ha! in your face, lady! okay, i'm childish. then went to nose and bought the coolest pair of purple and pink shoes ever! i love buying shoes. heehee.

so in total, our shopping trip included-

purple shades
LA shorts (currently wearing them!)
purple and pink heels (!)
'various shades' dress (!)
black halter
brown T

heaven. then went to dad's office for lunch before walking to tuition behind. was soooo sleepy the whole 2 and 1/2 hours. anyway, lived through that okay cos of the lil first formers who are absolutely hilarious! then came home and read 'all along' on fictionpress. it's THE best ever romance story on that site. i'm always pining for more after every chapter. haha.

after that went to sa ee's house. hung out for awhile during which she showed us the 'banana money' used during the japanese occupation. really cool! went for dinner at state with sa ee, then went to ampta to get dad's spectacles fixed. gonna watch one tree hill now! ciao darlings.

today was looooonngg. first thing this morning many called me to the staff room. gave me back our paper 3 cos we weren't gonna have class today. then asked me to collect all our books by break which was absolutely suicidal. what a scare. i always thought i wasn't too behind in physics. turns out she gave tons of excercises when i wasn't in class those 2 whole months doing debate and sports day prep. sigh.

rushed through it during half of math while she was explaining our exam papers. feel guilty for doing that but i guess she didn't call me up cause i always pay attention in her classes. yay. she taught new stuff after that. OH! HAHA.

mano "girls. what colour is this book ah?"
anaz "green. teacher....how they let you pass your driving test ah?"

lol. malay was usual. although halfway through raphaela came with a note saying s wanted to see me. quite a scare but turns out it was salina. phew. got more paperwork to finish by break from her. ahh. break finished off my work then rushed down to see numerous teachers. came back to class late for english. belinda was pretty peeved cos more than half the class didn't bring our text books including yours truly. =) didn't pay attention though. was busy counting physics books and stuff. soo tedious cos some people have the nerve to not pass up but tick their names on my list. bleh.

then at 11 there was a malay seminar in the hall by a "specialist lecturer". handed in the books with dhar. many totally exploited us. made us tie up SO many books from two classes and bring it to her car under the blazing sun. made another comment on my walk. TOO MUCH! i had this goal of going the whole week without getting a walk comment but she just has to ruin it an hour and half before school ends!

"kareen for goodness sake can you walk with more vibrance! you walk like a worm!"

ahhh. after that went to check out the seminar at the hall. it was utterly hilarious. didn't listen to a word mr tirai(?) said. was observing his mannerisms though. my conclusion-after every sentence he nods his head twice. HAHA. hung out with cheryne, may, anaz, dhar and francine until school ended. then went to get my phone from many. she took out my phone and flipped it open. then she turned to rose and was like "rose, look here!" rose turned, held her marks book up and said "aaaahhhh". haha. then she told me she should retire cos only 4 people in her class passed science. many was like "i'll retire earlier cos noone in my class passed science." hilarious.

after that had lit practice at 1. it seems like everyone has to literally drag themselves to lit nowadays. i think the dread of facing ss biatch is so intense it kills the spirit to perform. mrs tan, christina, boey and the afternoon mrs tan came today. s gave a whole speech to us about how we're this whole "big family" and we should have togetherness and stuff. right. whatever. her "si lai" screaming doesn't do anything to help the case. the other s has such fake eyes it makes it repulsive to look at her. basically the whole full dress was about ss biatch screaming at us.

after that went to starbucks at amcorp cos i didn't have anything to eat the whole day. got a vanilla frap, choc frap, hot choc and choc dream then headed to beh ee's house to join my sis. had tea then watched a bit of tv while waiting for my dad to come pick us up. fell asleep on the couch while waiting. then went to shanthy's condo to pass her the "changs". she didn't come to school cos she was sick. poor lady.

came home only around 8. had a shower then went to pick my bro from masni's. saw sandhya there! i didn't know she went there. haha. she's a cool kid. super funny. standing in my soprano 2 group. wohoo! ahh. so watching idol now. toodloo.

okay. turns out lee quin's not gonna be the emcee with me. as usual ss biatch comes up with another way to squander plans. not unhappy with her replacement though. now erica's gonna be the other emcee. so wheeeeee! lol. have to go look for a green formal dress by monday though. hopefully it doesn't cost a bomb. and i don't look like an oversized leaf.

so today was same old. went to the office to get the attendance book early morning. bumped into many there. she's so absent! haha. yesterday i called her and asked her if she could keep my handphone for me, she thought i wasn't going to school. then this morning she saw me and was like,"eh, i thought you weren't coming to school?" haha. didn't have chemistry cos tan lee lee is still recuperating from her operation. she's still marking our papers though so we have to wait a lil longer. hope she's doing well. moral was okay. discussed the essay assignments we got yesterday. my group wasn't called out so, yay! i just fiddled around with my stuff and figured out all the stuff i had to do.

recess i was looking for azna when shanthy called me over. "kareen! i need to make some noise! you know every year your mom gives me the 'chang' to eat. this year i know sher reen's busy and all but still! i didn't get any! i went to the night market and they sell them with all sorts of things in them. pleeaassee ask your mom? even one would be okay! your grandma makes them really nicely!" haha.

then helped many count marks. lol. hmm. malay was quite a bore. aside from my laidback, "nerdy", "cream of the crop" classmates singing from one of our malay dramas. haha. that was funny. english was sweet. got a high grade for my second essay. (same's gayathiri so that's an achievement!) wohoo! but directed writing was pissing! missed out one of the points so lost marks there which wasn't too bad. but i screwed it up by writing the dumbest line on earth.

"evidently, cleanliness is extremely water."

i have NO idea where that came from! so there went my language marks too. argh! total marks were good but the carelessness is just sooo annoying! i wish i knew what i was thinking then. that would be hilarious. haha. math was fun as usual. mano had a heart to heart with us about how she came to assunta. funneh! then after went to get my phone from many. mano was fascinated by it. wanted to know how to switch it on and use the camera and stuff. haha. teachers.

lit practice was okay. stressing really. practiced some of the musical dance and helped out with the pillars for the decoration commitee. s did her usual. screamed at me about how i should practice with erica cos ss biatch wanted to hear us present and stuff. said we NEEDed the script and she didn't want us doing it impromptu on monday. like hello? dude? noone does lit nite impromptu? so i said we defintely weren't doing impromptu. she was like, "yea! we still need a black and white copy of what you're going to say so that we know what's going on!" ahhhh. talk about beyond daft!

left school at 3. went to reka wira in hartamas with zalifah to finalise the costumes. we're renting like 1/4 of what we rented last year cos s is so bent on us getting them ourselves. some of the actresses have to get nightgowns so she told them to go borrow it or something! and the other s is even better. she said she'd sew it! like hello? deadline? she hasn't even done the foreword which was due 2 weeks ago! blah. stopped by strudels then came back and had dinner. watched my tvb serials and now gonna work on the "impromptu" script and assunta stuff. tata.

math, math, english, moral, history, break, bio, bio, malay, malay

math was the the usual. we always have funny lessons which i'm so grateful for because i'd be sleeping if it wasn't. mano got a bit pissed today so she walked out to calm herself. but i think she's just extremely stressed nowadays. other than that, everything was just cool. english belinda gave us back the 2nd part of our paper. passable grade i suppose. moral was just full of chatter cos sou leng distracted umma for like the whole period. crazy cool! read the cover on cheer 2005 in the newspapers. haha.

history was just fun. mainly because i wasn't in class. haha. played hooky with anaz. told ms yap i was going to look for mano. we really did go look for her in the staff room but she wasn't there. got caught by pn prema again! ahh. don't think she's too pleased that we're slacking on the assunta certs and the coke under her desk. but she's just lovely anyhow. then had a nice chat with many who sits next to mano.(the irony of it all) went to the canteen to "look" for mano but she wasn't there so decided to walk past rose's staff room cos apparently she was wearing cool shoes and had lipstick smudges all over her lower face. haha.

break was fun. may, anaz, dhar and joyce devoured half of my chicken sandwiches. haha.

[quote-anaz]"ahhh....it's been 2 years kareen! 2 years!"(since i last brought chicken sandwiches)[unquote]

then was a "good samaritan" and bought shanthy a papaya slice which she dropped onto the floor eventually. HAHA. got our malay papers from zainon then went for bio. my essay marks were atrocious! lol.(shut up yuan!) but the class was nice anyway. rose is just awesome. i used to really dislike her last year. she was just ssssooooooooo strict about all the eensy bitty details like how long a space is! she's changed though. haha. i have evidence on my experiment paper. she wrote me a note which went exactly and i mean literally like this.

"write bigger pls =)! and space out your writing."

yea. literally as in she did draw the smiley on my paper. haha. she's soooo cute. gonna miss all my 'rocker' teachers when i leave. bm was another chatter period. got our papers back then gave out the bio papers rose passed to me. after that had lit nite practice. helped june out with her mr. rochester part. haha. was like a helpless laughing dummy cos i know nothing about it and she/he was supposed to seduce me. lol. then watched some of the musical and practiced some dance. went home after that.

had a bite to eat, chatted with a bit with may. haha. i apologise in reference to my previous blog dear! then read some of chapter 7 history where i promptly fell asleeeeeep on the bed. slept for 3 hours! ahh. that threw off my whole plan for today. had to go for tuition right after waking up which was super tedious. had to do these whole proverb and sentence construction things with chryseis, pruds and rachel. then jun-min just copied all our answers after he ditched us for another table with wei liam.

ahhh. lee quin's the other emcee for lit nite! yay! now we gotta go look for decent green dresses by monday! wohoo! nerd and "nerd" gonna be awesome next friday. i hope. today's achievement-had chicken sandwiches for all my meals! HAHA! okay. now gonna work on my script. i'm out.

last night was extremely funny. my sister and her friend from summer school were audio conversation-ing on msn. chris was my sister's mentor at trinity college which she attended for 2 weeks in melbourne. he's studying some sort of engineering and he's downright proud to be from botswana. honestly, chris was abbbbsoluuuuteeeely hilarious! he's got this sweet aussie accent and spins wisecracks off his tongue like it's second nature. there were so many i can't remember most of them. lol. my sis and him get this whole kick about me saying "arrrre youu seeerioous?" in this pseudo accent. ahh. good times.

today was semi-normal. had a spotcheck first period. although how anyone can call it a spotcheck is just beyond me when toh already announced it to the whole school yesterday in assembly. lol. and people still bring their handphones and liquid paper. skipped that cos many called me down to the staff room to help her with the usual stuff. sat at the pavillion watching fourth formers having their pe lesson with belinda. hilarious stuff. belinda's so fit and svelte with all her excercise regimes the students look ridiculous compared to her. haha.

then went back to class and many came in almost right after i did with our physics papers!!! i so wasn't looking forward to getting that back cos i know i screwed up the experiment and the essays. had this bad feeling about it the whole hols but it turns out i actually nailed most of the structures and my essays were passable so i scraped through with a decent grade! wohoo. not too pleased with it but i'll take what i can get. then we had est with christina. got a good grade in that but omg she is the absolute epitome of a zany joke! won't go into the torrid details though. she's basically a nut.

history was the usual. not listening in class.(aka sleeping =P) then moral studies umma was on mc so she didn't come. pn prema caught me during break so had to go remove the cases of water from syahidah's table. me and anaz had to carry 4 boxes up 8 flights of stairs! i never thought i was weak but santa maria(haha, chris used that countless times!) i never thought i was thaaaat unfit. couldn't write after that. mano's period was funny as always. i think it's got something to do with her always calling me "amma" and all her funny episodes. today she was extremely sweeeeet.

*envision an indian accent*
"okay today i'm going to...what's the word you'll use in the church? oh confession ah? oh...today i'm going to make a confession...and you'll are my what's that thing? (she makes this circular movement above her head) my church ah? ooooh, my priest. ah. today i'm going to make a confession and you'll are my priests la. beggining last year i reeeaally hated you girls you know. and i always complain to your class teacher and pn many always scold mela. 'now only you say you hate them, waitla one day you're going to say you love them.' and i will tell pn many about you'll you know. and that day i said i'm going to miss you'll you know what she said? 'seee! i told you!' "

hilarious stuff. ahh. i love my teachers! most of them at least. it really gets a good study environment going. i suppose that's what this school's done for me. sigh. but that's a story for another day. okay. joke of the day.

many "girl's next time you make that mistake you don't have to knock yourself on the head. i'll come there and slap your face!"
me "teacher, when you do that, you'll have a lawsuit slapped in your face."

HAHA. this really got us in peals of laughter. few heard what i said but those who did started spreading it round till i stopped them. goodness knows what would have happened if many actually heard it. ahhh. the glorious school days. okay. time to go do other stuff. much love.

okay, so just to clear things up a lil, the last post i was listening to "i miss you" by blink 182 as lee quin pointed out. lol, sue me. the title on limewire said the "voice inside my head". am i supposed to know better? haha.

so today started off much better than i had anticipated considering last night i hardly got a few winks of sleep rolling around in restlessness. the worst thing about government school is getting up at the ridiculous hour of 6. anyhow, reached school and was walking along talent in my dreamy world and suddenly this huge force totally whams into my back and definitely brings me out of my blurry state. guess who? joyce. one who hasn't returned any of my smses the whole hols. thanks a lot mate. had a good laugh though then heard may calling from the gate. waited for her and realised that she walks worse than me!

lol. i mean my teachers have this thing about my walk which they find "unhealthy" and "lembik". belinda called me a "penguin"! imagine your teacher walking up to you and telling you that at 7 in the morning. and many basically admitted to the whole class that she thinks i look like i don't get any sleep at all through the night when she sees me every morning. gee. i don't think i walk thaaat bad.

so while we're on the subject of teachers, here's a little episode from assembly today. our headmistress is probably the most complicated person in the world. sometimes she projects this futuristic wisdom and sometimes the total opposite. like today she totally portrayed both of them in her speech.(gasp! i was listening. haha. nah. more like laughing with erica and sarah jane) she was talking about exam results first and how we should bother about corrections more than the marks we get which i agree with. but then after that she starts talking about graffiti and she says this with such conviction.

"i saw one of the tables had 'i love james' on it. why should you only love james? you should love everybody!"

sigh. so got our math papers back. results came in before midterm break but i'll post them later. realised how careless i am during papers. then we got moral studies back. was a bit disappointed with my grade cos i did pretty well last test. oh and lee quin had this sudden shock attack.

"oh my god! oh my god! i beat kareen! hahahahaha! eh dharrini! we beat kareen!"

erm yeeeaaaahhhhh. haha. i used to get in the 50s for moral so i don't see what the huge surprise is. lol. anyway, the whole day mofoe was comparing marks with me. during bio she's like '1-1' and '2-1' and stuff. although apparently math doesn't count bacause "that's a totally different level." yeeeaaahhh...history was a bummer. didn't get as much as i wanted to but oh well. guess it comes with not studying a whole form of work.

had so much fun today with anaz and all making fun of christina's speech and her marking skills.(refer to joyce's answer sheet.) lol. not in a bad way though. school was amazingly good for a monday. then came back after est and sllleeeept until 5. had dinner and went to my lil' ol' jacuzzi with my sis. historic achievement! i brought my history book and read the whole chapter 6 even though it's not been taught in school. wohoo!

ahh so now i'm gonna go try reading even more or do my math. byeeee.

sigh.......school starts tomorrow.

so today was pretty ordinary. got up reasonably late. 11.15 lol. went through the cleaning processes then went down to find out some cousin of my mom's had sold a water oxydiser to my mom.(like ?) then went out for lunch. we were actually heading to shangri-la's lemon garden. and smart old us didn't bother booking. reached there to find all the restaurants fully booked. the lady there wanted to put us 8th(wth?) on the waiting list so we took off. and the parking ticket was 8rm! and we were only there the most 15 minutes? talk about huge rip off. then went to saisaki instead at the uoa building. yummy yum food.

hmm. on the way back stopped to redeem gifts from my dad's terminated maybank card(i'm only telling you cos it's terminated =P) at the inno-something gift redemption place. the service there is horrible so if anyone goes there i suggest you tick [poor] when you fill out the form they give you. won't go into the finer details but i know i ticked [poor] resoundingly.(if ticking made sounds it would be resounding okay!) oh yea. the place is called innocraft. take note. gosh.

lol. okay. then after that came home and sat down for 6 hours and did add math.(gasp!) imagine that. i'm only at the 4th model now but i'm not too worried cos i figure mano's only gonna collect it on tuesday and not tomorrow because

1. tomorrow's mod math.
2. she'll distribute our exam papers.
3. she'll scold us for our bad results.

haha. okay. aaaaahhh. tomorrow we start receiving our results! i'm so not looking forward to that cos i know i bombed a few papers. will post my results later on if it's doesn't portay me as embarassingly stupid.(which i am half the time anyway.)

hmm. so the hols are over and i realise i didn't do anything on my to-do list.

revise add math(nothing done except unfinished homework)
start getting to know my history books(nowhere near)
read both language novels(what novels?)
shop for-shorts, hair accesories, slip ons, cds(shopped so much but got none of them?)
clean out my room(my bedside table count?)
burn the oc season 2(right.)
download one tree hill >10 and desperate housewives(enough said.)
save money(i managed to end up with less then my target)

so yea. i don't even know why i made a to-do list. okay. haven't had any dinner so i'm going to look for food again.(second time i'm mentioning looking for food. i must sound like a fat pig.) okay. don't care. i'm gone.

2 Days Before the Start of School!

today was eventful. started off by getting up uber early. like 8.45am. absolutely unearthly. i felt guilty for not going swimming yesterday so i decided to be a good little girl and accompany my "little" bro and mum. swam a few half laps then got up to head for MY jacuzzi. noone there today so yay! haha. went to the lockers to get my bags and realised that i took my bro's key instead of mine. lol. the coolest thing was it actually opened up my locker! which is bad too i guess since any given key will open up any locker. the security levels at tropicana...hmmmph!(shakes head grimly) bleh. then went back to the tub after giving my bro his key and read 'speech of angels' by sharon maas while the jets punched away at my body.

after that went to one u with my sis, mum and bro where i finally got to really shop!(what a bimbo moment. haha.) previously i've been walking around with the 'rents, or elderly, or friends but never managed to step foot into a proper shop! meh. so yea, went for lunch first cos i was super hungry after not having breakfast.(my bro had half of my food!) then went to buy a malay dictionary(kamus dewan=hall dictionary?) for ju first. bad choice. so heavy! then was walking back to my section of ou with my sis. bought

-3 shirts (dorothy perkins, naf naf and zara. love sales so much!)
-facial wash
-slipper key chain for my mum
-random plastic shirt for ju

then my sis went off with her friends. and i came home and sleeeptt. was super tired by then. was supposed to sleep for an hour then start working on my math but the alarm clock on my phone really has no more effect on my ears. just an irritation you know. so kept sleeping till around 5 when i woke up to the sounds of sui lin, beh ee and mum yakking away in the kitchen while cooking up a delicious dinner. ahh. so i'm pigging out on gummy bears and watermelons now. crazy cool combination. listening to the sounds of mahjong pieces being pushed around. i heart gin rummy!

was watching malaysian idol yesterday. it's real hilarious how many different faces the judges can come up with. and paul is just so full of mean comments! but i admire the creativity. some just crack you up. like "you know when you step on a cat's tail? the sound? there you have it." "that's like the singing equivalent of cow turd." i think all he really does is have fun coming up with all these wisecracks for our humour. oh and that indian lady who thought he was stupid cos he said he didn't like her singing? she's even stupider(?) for going right? i mean you go there to get their comments and then don't accept them after? well, the best part is she was SO confident that she was 100% in so IN YOUR FACE lady!

haha. so i'm gonna go do something productive now. i hope. seeya'll.

=juke box-the song from chien yih's blog(no idea what it is)

okay. so today i woke up to my mum's call asking whether i wanted to go swimming. at something like 8 in the morning? how annoying. really wanted to sleep in cos of all the late nights and early mornings from elds work. and before she left with my bro she screamed "bye bye sleepy head" just to annoy me and wake me up! argh! then at like 11.10, jim decides to call me up and wake me up! can't a girl get some sleep? best part of it was what he said. here's how the conversation went.

me:hellooo......
jim:hi whatcha doing? holidays and all now.
me:sleeping!
jim:aiyo, you're such a fat pig!
me:yea yea.
jim:so anyways, i was just calling cos i'm going into the cinema in 5 minutes.
me whatcha watching?
jim:mr and mrs smith.

i just wanted to kill him then! not only does he disturb my sleep, he tells me he's watching the movie i've been DYING to watch for months! bleh. talk about great morning. oh, chien yih decided to pay me back for sms-ing at like 3 in the morning. apparently i woke chien wen up and he pushed yih off his bed. haha. classic. too bad i didn't even hear the phone! haha. couldn't sleep after jim's call so went down to get lunch. cooked korean instant noodles for my bro and i.(yes, i know i don't know how to mop but i CAN cook!) then after that decided to start doing my add math homework. only did like half a model. and i have 8 to finish by monday. bleh. oh while doing that, jim messages me to tell me i should go watch mr and mrs smith! argh! he loves to rub it in!

after that, i went to the jacuzzi at the club with my mum. we've been frequenting it these hols ever since we went swimming some time last week. i figure my dad will be happy cos now he won't say he pays membership fees every month when noone makes use of the club. so two other people joined us in the bath today. normally it's just mum and me. bleh. getting a wee bit possessive over that little tub. lol.

so i've been telling yuan and lee quin that coldplay's a depressing band. i figure it's weird since they love it so much and they've got lots in common with me. so on the way back from the club i heard it over the radio and i must admit they are actually pretty good. haha. go on and laugh in my face.

oh i didn't go for lit practice today. meano i am left yuen all alone with the horrors. but apparently i missed all the action. wan kimm forgot to get starch to make the rose bushes and hardly anyone went today so one part of ss biatch blew up and threatened to call off lit nite if she didn't finish the bushes by next week. haha. for more explicit and x-rated details, go check out wan kimm's last 2 entries. she's got it down pat. i figure until lit nite's over we'll all be really stressed up over insanely ridiculous teachers and stress from receiving out exam results.(aaaahhhh. hope i don't fail anything!)

so besides that, heard from more people who've watched mr and mrs smith. i SHOULD have gone with shobaan and his friends. talk about regret. yeesh. i'm so hungry now. just had dinner like 2 hours ago. going to satiate my needs. adios.

my hippo-crisy

=idiot box-none
= jukebox-a thousand words(ffx2)

i figure me getting a blog would probably be one of the most unexpected things i've managed to come up with.seeing as how at the beggining i had strong assumptions of blogs being dumb and a complete waste of time.what a complete hippo-crisy.heh.yea.in the past few months though i realise that i probably won't remember one of the best years of my life when i'm old, wizened, wrinkly,sagging and possibly senile.so here i am.anaz'll probably give it to me for going against the non-blogger code.and my sis'll just laugh in my face.haha!what's done is done.

sooo, it's currently hols.2-week break right after our 3-week exams which was an absolute horror in essence.this whole year it's been activities non-stop.first forensics,then exams,then taylor's debate, then iu, then sports day,then exams again and noooww....lit nite.so for 2 whole months i was basically not in class cos i was either busy with activities or "busy with activities".haha.so now everyday it's off to school for practice.talk about great hols.didn't think i'd perform this year but now i'm in the choir and dancing as an extra for the musical.haha.i don't even know what the musical's about.practice has been so-so.choir sounds good in my pov,but i guess the teachers have broadway-high expectations so i guess we'll be listening to insults until after lit nite.dance is ermm...well, some of us dubbed it 'the retard dance'.haha.that must say it all.oh i got emcee for lit nite as well.i should be happy i guess.all the glamour of being up there in front of all the esteemed people.sigh.the whole elds crew is great though.everyone's just easy to connect with and fun to be around.especially today when me, kathryn, sandhya and yin khuan were mucking around behind the curtains making fun of ss biatch(haha.this is reserved for the privileged)hilarious stuff.like kathryn who's so elegant and innocent-looking.she was like-"okay tie me to this wing.then when they start i'll be hanging off it while they sing 'come to my graden'"

yesterday went to one u with lee quin after slipping out of practice.haha.playing hooky rocks!made our way there then went looking around some of the stores.went to zara wanted to bought a shirt which i was to lazy too try on.then quin gets these natural urges so we look for the ladies.and since i was too free i decided to try on my new shirt.talk about dumb.haha.caught the 2.05 a lot like love.it's freaking hilarious!i was laughing from the second second onwards(second second...get it?haha.gosh that was lame)ashton kutcher is so funny!there were parts though where only me and quin were laughing.like this part where oliver(ashton's char) is defending himself in a fight with emily(amanda peet's char).so he rambling and when he comes to this part"..during your hyperglysemic rant..."we just burst out laughing.then we realised noone else was doing the same.sheesh.must be the dysfunctional "nerd"iness.oh and another funny line-"o=everybody plays guitar.e=do you play guitar?o=no.""(morning after they did it in the back of e's car in the middle of nowhere)ranger=sir this is a national park.i suggest you get dressed and hit the road."haha.i'm surprised the show wasn't 18 though.there was quite a lot of making out.heard this mom behind me telling her lil kid not to look.haha.then met up with alina and spent about an hour in mcd's catching up and dishing out the facts on her hot co-worker.that was cool.this time last year we would've probably been saying awkward hi's and moving along quickly.

oh funny thing happened before and after the movie.so before we were just walking to shakey's for lunch and this malay guy was with his parents.and we're almost passing him,he cranes his neck forward and stares at us.like weird right?then we heard him ask his mom."pinjam specs kejap".haha.by that time we were already gone.too late!oh and after.we're walking out and we heard this girl say,"okay quick.head straight for the toilet!"and they start walking faster.then another one goes."it's at the back of us."haha.so that was our trip.

other happenings.went to mid valley last week with jim,ju,gene,ken and nick.jim took leave from work to bring us out.was a cool cousinly outing.caught star wars 3.talk about bore.haha.but was cool to catch up.jim's started mandarin classes.he sounds absolutely hilarious.haha.gene's teaching him new words.and i had a fun time correcting his pronounciation cos he's still at the elementary stages.though i can't say much about my mandarin either.lol.oh.went to mid valley 2 days earlier too with mum,sui lin, beh ee and aunty carol(second mummy.haha.)walking around with 4 post-35-year-old ladies is an experience.i actually refrained from all the teenage shops and obediently(hah!i'm obedient!) followed them everywhere.caught up on all the latest news and had crazy funny talks at beh ee's house after.

that's about it i guess.for the time being.long first entry.never knew i was so long-winded.(okay,i just had a lot to say, okay!)ciao.
