~*Merry Christmas!....& a Happy New Year! *sings last bit*
was supposed to post really early this morning (3am) but blogger wouldn't let me on...T_T must've been full of other people with the same idea..lol. ok, since i didn't mention my singapore trip (which was two days after the langkawi one..), i shall do so for the Merry Christmas part of this post...
Took a night train from KL Sentral right down to Singapore...didn't sleep much on that ride..hehe.. spent almost all my time there going out to places like the Science Centre, Night Safari [this has really cute animals..^^ i love the howling wolves..], PDA and video camera hunting for my mom and dad...oh yeah, i did visit the Body Works exhibition they were having at the Expo over there too..pretty cool seeing how they slice the bodies up just so you can see what's inside...=p Yep, spent Christmas there..no, didn't see the Christmas lights on Orchard Road..[ singapore was packed with people..! even my favourite way to travel ,when we're over there, the MRT was packed with people] so, too bad, had to miss this time...hehe... aside from that, watched LOTR: The Return of The King over there! i wanna watch it again!!! even though, *sniff* the ending is rather sad... and there were somethings that were in the book that they couldn't put on screen..oh well, it was good anyway ^.^
so, on the last day, didn't do much..went window shopping, came back to my aunt's condominium and swam in the swimming pool before heading for the train station for another train ride at night..lol.. got back at dawn (about 6am) a little tired but ok cause this time managed to sleep properly..=p
Now, for the happy new year part..(yes, i know, very long-winded..don't have to read this if you don't want to..=p) Last night, it was new year's eve (nevermind bout the day part..chelle came over and we spent most of the time online and reading her Tsubasa manga..cheers,Chelle! ^^) so, went out with my family for dinner and was supposed to have Baskin Robins after that or at least to take home and savour around midnight..lol..but sadly, a lot of people with the same idea as us [copyright!!!] jammed up Baskin Robins first..so, did without the ice-cream and my parents dropped me of at church for the watchnight service where there's a sermon that sort of sums up the whole year..supper, and a small countdown..this time, we watched the fireworks they were having at Sunway Pyramid..yeah, don't have our own fireworks, share in with others'...not bad, very pretty fireworks too..wonder what they would've looked like if i were at Pyramid though..must really be very nice...*_* and of course, searching for victims [HAPPY NEW YEAR scream..^.^ deafening and fun..] and many victims there were too..uh huh...don't worry, they're not deaf..i'm not quite that loud ^_~ [though the 4 others combined with me, are..muahahaha]
I enter the new year with mixed feelings though..you know the scene in the first movie of LOTR when Sam and Frodo are crossing the field and Sam says at one part of it, 'When i cross over this part, it'll be the furthest i've ever been from the Shire'? it's something like that..2003 is technically 1 day behind but today, 2004, is also sort of like a year away already. if you're wondering what's with the dramatics, it's because i have a very important exam around the end of this year... oh well, won't talk about it here...lousy way to start the new year..hehe..in fact, since it's a new year, i shall begin tweaking with my blog template..[not that i can guarantee any success...>_< but i'll try anyway..^^]
and that was my New Year's Report...ja ne! and have a - Happy New Year-

home sweet home...?
i never thought i'd say that..lol..home sweet home...more like home sweet comp...;p muax! missed you, comp! hehe..oh, and friends too of course...^_~
now, what's there to say..hmm...oh, of course, what did i do in Langkawi..i arrived there by boat along with my cousins and uncle and aunts. first thing they did? grocery shopping..lol...looking for bread, butter..then, on the way to the chalet [which is practically across the island] we stopped by a small shop to buy my cousin some new sandals and a few tins of Shandy..[yes, my uncle was planning to party..^^"] finally arrived at the chalet, admired it..argued with my bro for the couch..lol...dumped my bag in the closet [no point unpacking...i'll hust have to pack up again...=p] then pretty much lazed around til evening when went down to the beach. walking along the beach is nice..even nicer at night [if only there were no such things as mosquitoes!T_T] cause you can see lots of stars not like the city. there weren't many stars on the first and second night, though and the days were a little cloudy.
Aside from that, didn't do much..most of the time spent in Langkawi was spent on the beach, shopping [only the last two days and i don't get to buy much..>_<], checking out certain 'high-class' hotels [and these are really nice..i wish i could stay there! hehe] and visiting places of course. around the third day, we took a boat trip down to the mangroves, fish farm and bat caves. first, we were taken down to the mangroves to see eagles. and boy, were there a lot of eagles! the boatman fed them pieces of chicken meat so they all came swooping down..nice sight but very hard to get on camera...my aunt tried...hehe
next spot was the fish farm. they had a friendly sting ray there..hehe...so cute..all you have to do is stand beside the netting thingy and the sting ray will come up. other fish are a little scarier...the guy who takes care of all this was feeding the fish to show them to us and two kinds of fish were vicious..jumping up to get the food...and the guy said that they do bite so don't put your hand in the water..lol..there was even a lil baby squid smaller than your palm..that was really cute...^^ and speaking of cute, there was this french family also visiting the place and the small son [bout 3 years old] kept saying 'oolala' to everything..hehe..kawaii...!
after having lunch there, we headed for the bat cave where there are mini bats..and lots of them! all hanging upside down trying to sleep when here we come a-kacau-ing... poor bats..can't even sleep in peace.. cave wasn't that big so finished exploring quite fast and took a boat ridethrough the mangroves. the scenery coming out of the mangroves is beautiful..never knew it looked like that before..
the day after that was spent shopping with my mom aunties and uncle..shopping is shopping so nothing to say there..hehe...just, after that, me and my aunt dropped by the Summer Palace [the one they used to film Anna and the King] i didn't even know it was there..heh...inside is nice but too bad they don't seem to be mantaining it too well...and obviously, it's smaller than the one you saw in the movie...ok, nothing more to say now..[my dog's howling in the background...annoying old newspaper people..-_-] sayonara!

thoughts
some well put words...by a comedian too..think about it..=)
A wonderful Message by George Carlin:
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but
shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints.
We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less.
We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less
time.
We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment,
more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too
little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too
tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life.
We've added years to life not life to years.
We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing
the street to meet a new neighbour.We conquered outer space but not
inner space.
We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.
We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice.
We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less.
We've learned to rush, but not to wait.
We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies
than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small
character, steep profits and shallow relationships.
These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fa! ncier ho uses, but
broken homes.
These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality,
One night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from
cheer, to quiet, to kill.
It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in
the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and
a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit
delete.
Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not
Going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because
that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the
only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but
most of all mean it.
A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of
you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person
will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time to share the
precious thoughts in your mind.
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the
moments that take our breath away.
HOW TO STAY YOUNG
1. Throw out non essential numbers. This includes age, weight and
height.
Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her.
2. Keep only cheerful friends.. The grouches pull you down.
3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening,
whatever. Never let the brain idle. " An idle mind is the devil's
workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.
4. Enjoy the simple things.
5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.
6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is
with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are! alive.< BR>
7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets,
keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable,
improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, to the next county,
to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.
10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we
take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

ending wipes all memory of beginning
Random title brought on by thinking bout all the movies and stuff i've watched and about memories in general. As you go along, as everybody says, you start from the begining and follow through with events right up til the end. Eventhough sometimes [or most of the time] I know that the carefree feeling at the beginning will change later as the story proceeds, I still want it to go on just for the reason of knowing what happens next. But now i'm just thinking, how different endings are from beginnings and how they almost always seem to wipe out or change our views of what happened at the beginning. And then, when i think of the word beginnings, i think of three things [odd as they may seem], Lord of the Rings [the book], friends and Shaman King [lol...yes, obsession..laugh all you want..or sweatdrop..whichever you prefer..^^"]
okay, okay..shall stop harping on..hehe..i'm just bored..staying home all day for weeks can drive someone mad you know..T_T what have i been doing at home? well, watching tv has pretty much lost it's catch on me cause there's nothing much good to watch anymore...*cries* no good korean shows, japanese..NO ANIME! sigh...i'm deprived..uh huh..*nods* [don't bother..she's nuts again..this time, at least she had the courtesy to tell you why..-_-"] anway, SO, i've been online for as much time as possible playing RO or reading fanfics while listening to mp3s ^^ all in all, life isn't too bad..heh..btw, Congrats and arigatou, chelle, on your fanfics! i like! ^_____________^ call this advertising if you like, such lovely fics deserve advertising..! okay, i think i've bored you all stupid by now [do i now hear cries of "WHO'RE YOU CALLING STUPID?!?" ?] eheh...no insult intended..^^" sumimasen..anyway, shall go now..ja!

things i learnt from RO
never knew playing games could teach me stuff...well, here's a few of the things i learnt;
1. how to read maps.. [a little bit..hehe..] this was tested the other day when we were driving around Sri Muda trying to find my dad's friend's place. not bad...i finaly can read a map properly [sort of] !! ^^
2. cute little things are not to be looked down on [i'm serious..the evilness is, you think, 'oh, this thing is so cute and tiny, can't hurt much, right?' next thing you know, 2 whacks from the thing and you're dead..lol]
ok, so it's not that much..but considering it's a game..originally unintended to teach you anything...not bad, ne? nevermind, this is just another random post. have been deprived of my normal online time for roughly four days. my cousin's staying over [has been since sunday.] so, they've been playing RO non-stop..meh...evil hijackers..lol...joking..
last weekend, i was at PD, celebrating my god-mom's birthday. just an overnight stay. quite fun i guess..hehe...the funny part was, my brother got scared during the night bout uh...coconuts..yeah, you heard right..think along the lines of erm..you know, in america they have the headless horseman and his pumpkin, well, i kinda [jokingly..^^''] induced the idea of headless horseman and his coconut? lol...stupid idea..freaked my bro out anyway..=p
well, that's bout it...need to get into a good posting mood again..til then, ja ne!

end of all things educational...almost lol
yep, last day of school..i'm not there...^^ and what's "worse", i just got up. the dream i got last night was one of those 'waking dreams' again... been getting a lot of those lately but i can't quite remember what happens in them. only vaguely. they're interesting cause in them, it's like i am awake and all sorts of things are happening that could possibly happen in real life...on the negative side though, they're tiring. somehow, after awakening from these dreams, it's like i haven't slept. sigh. and it doesn't help when i'm tired after coming back from school [okay,okay, the days i actually go to school =p] in this last week of school, teachers are extremely busy so they're on the lookout for 'victims' -_- also known as 'students'. spent tuesday and thursday running round school helping a few teachers. thursday wasn't that bad though, spent most of my time in the computer room typing stuff and before that, finally getting round to finishing my oral exam. phew! got relatively good marks compared to my last one..^^ oh, and the school has finally decided to distribute the school magazine. as you can expect, it's pretty low quality..T_T but at least the form fives have coloured pages...cover looks awful though. kay, better shut up before i insult anyone further...lol
so much for the last week of school. as for extra [or non] curriculur activities, skipped school on wednesday and went to subang parade with ally. waaaaa...i'm so broke!! i was broke before i went out so i could'nt even buy much..but, what i bought, i'm definately enjoying..! ^.^ what it is? it's a Gravitation soundtrack cd and i love it! beeeeeg SmiLe for that...^____________________^ hehe...aside from that, been playing Ragnarok a lot lately. still weak..T_T [of course, low level sad case - sane self] *glares at stupid mean self..evil!..* therefore, i must play more! lol....that's what you get, ne? hehe... okay, i've reached the 'limit'..nothing more to say...heh..so, ja! sayonara!

..sieze the moment..
was just thinking while browsing through a few shaman king fanfics just now, i sure have quite a short attention span... a month ago, my craze was probably a chinese show..don't get me wrong, i still like chinese shows but..the energy i put into searching for it or maye obsessing is definately not as much as when i first started liking it. Today, i even deleted a whole set of mp3s..[taking up space..not mad bout the artist anymore..=p] anyway, what i'm really saying is, no matter what i like or have interest in, even though the time of liking is short [depending what it is..heh..], still, why not make full use of the time? i know that there's a possibility i won't even think about the shaman king mp3s i'm listening to right now but of course, right now, at this moment, something is telling me, that's impossible 'you'll like it forever'..that thought itself makes me want to laugh out loud even if it from me..[actually, because it's from me..lol]
[oops, sidetracked again...-_-'] so anyway, the main thought is, since i like it so much now, what's wrong in enjoying it fully? even if i don't get anything but enjoyment for the time, what's the big deal? in a nutshell, to me, siezing the moment is making full use of this time that i'm actually interested in anything..[don't mind me, this is a very random thought..0_o] ehh...since i just said so, i'm going to enjoy my mp3s now! ja!

events?
i guess so...let's see, been "busy" in the library for well, let's just say all the time i'm at school, i'm at the library,k? and since i feel like being honest, in actual fact, the name 'library' should be changed to um...casino...^^ heheh...after all, i think it's been three days in a row already that i've been playing cho tai ti, cheat and speed [or watching others play] not a bad way to spend time at school, ne? it is to educational...after all, you never know..card games could come in handy..especially at bored times..uh huh...*nods*
then, after school, here i really have to give credit to chelle for being able to stand me for so long...^^' gomenasai!, been popping over to chelle's place trying to finish shaman king..kyaa...it takes long but it's worth it..*.* cept for the X Laws theme "song" [it's not worth to be called a song..watch Shaman King to know what i'm talking bout....=P]
and of course, Ragnarok! been trying to level up *cries* i'm so weak!! *sniff* oh well, not bad, there were some kind people helping me to level up..and, i'm an acolyte!! yay yay! =p [excuse the childish self, will you? -_-'] but, don't expect too much...still quite a bad acolyte..can't warp people around and can't heal properly..bad ne? T_T oh well, i'll just kill more cute lil monsters! ^^ here, lil monsters...[forget forgiving her..beyond help...just ignore her, k? -_-"] hehe...sane-self getting irritated...ok, no more updates..my sane-self shoud be happy...heh...lucky this time...i'm sure i'll have more to say...not now though...^^;; ja! oyasumi!

at loss for words....?
hmm...even i find this an oddity..after all, people don't blog when they're at loss for words..heh... but, well, shouldn't start off by uttering discouraging words! it'll work out somehow..oh yeah! must mention that i'm currently in this Shaman King craze...must be because of the style i'm watching it..watching a two or three episodes at once then stopping..really killing me it is.. what catches me is that it's really funny! it's all about the characters all the multiple personalities and funny moments..^^ love the laughter i get out of it..
oooooookay! about the 'partying' i did to celebrate the whole after examination thing, skipped school last monday [wish i could say that for today, did spend most of the time searching for a deck of cards and playing cho tai ti though ^.^] and had fun at Timesquare...the theme park isn't bad 'cept for the ridiculous 30 dollar entrance fee..geez! 0_o had to be that much?? i mean, i understand bout the whole just opened thing but still...! oh well, we all learn from mistakes, don't we? heh...now i know...rollercoaster? not bad [yeah, al, thanks...=p] the rest? the flying-spinning ones are fun...and i rediscovered my love for bumper cars! *.* always loved them but hadn't ridden in them for so long!! waii...i miss bumper cars!!! hehe...
funny, sounds like revisiting childhood or something but nope, not the case with me, sometimes you wonder if i ever grew up! eheheh...that's what's fun though...^^ now listening to my new Ayumi Hamasaki CD, Ballads. It's soothing..has this music box effect..or that's what i say in this mood..okay, going now..gotta tend to impatient people..ja! sayonara!

well, here's what happened, first, after school, me and ally "dragged" chelle over to my place..heh...then, watch anime to pass time [don't worry, our time was spent very wisely watching RahXephon =D] mel went home but returned to chelle's place to plan everything then, by evening, bring chelle in and voila! hehe..SuRPriSe!! boy, chelle, you can scream..@_@ wait til the photos come out..i have a really dumb one in there..the one where tasha told us to make a funny face each..lol..

speeding past, i don't see a thing
konban wa. i was online at this late hour chatting and sms-ing when i realised, pretty long since i didn't touch this blog eh? heh heh..^^'
well, i know, if you count in terms of days and weeks, yes, i haven't posted in a looooooooong while..but if you come live my life and go through the days like i do, well, it doesn't seem long at all..in fact, the days seem short..i really don't know why..then again, maybe it's because time was speeding, rushing me forward to the exam i'm facing now..drat! why on earth?! nevermind..about the exams, i'm doomed..what lovely red marks i shall recieve on my report 0_o and to think this is my finals..T_T
what can i say? i'm a rubbish student anyway...too little technical info absorber space, overload of entertainment filing space and the rest is practical usage [programmes and whatnot ^^] nice,ne? love my mega disc! hehe...
speaking of all that, i really should get a burner [more like my parents get one for me! pleeeaaassse! *.*] so i don't overtax my poor comp with all my music files..yep, i'm back in the search-n-download craze..sort of..love that song 'Pure Snow' so much..so lovely, so touching..*sniff*..it's by Yuko Sasaki and she has a lovely voice!
hmm....my connection's going pretty slow today...sad. just when i feel like downloading stuff again. i guess i'll do it the slow way then [as if i have a choice..>_<] kyaa!! go faster!! ganbatte!! kai...not working..-_- and i'm very well aware that i'm not perfect cheerleader material! *grumbles* oh well, let me go root myself against the slowness tonight..oyasuminasai!

outta my school to another school...sort of
nope, by my title i am not implying that i am shifting school or anything like that...just refering to the trip i took to KDU college yesterday for a small seminar [that incidently takes up the whole school day..^^] hehe...happy...got to miss a whole day of school..[yes, lousy student, i know, i know...^^;;] and the talk? well, it was like a series of talks by different people..there was one promoting KDU..another telling you what you have to do and all if you plan to be a lawyer or want to study law [btw, you don't have to be a lawyer if you study law though it is the main option...hmm..i never knew..blur me..0.o] and then the supposedly main topic, sexual harassment [did u know that if you say anything suggestive to a person that the person doesn't like, you could be sued? ehehe..now you do..] oh, and there was one by a student who scored straight A's..here's one part of his 'Study tips' i liked - 'when you study for 3 hours straight and only take a five minute break, you actually absorb less then someone who studies for an hour than takes a one hour break and studies again.' of course, there's this part of it - 'during the one hour, must have full concentration..'
hmm....that's how i study [now to work on the full concentration part T_T]
alright, practical part of the trip? took a bus there and back, had sort of brunch there...[nasi lemak, chocolate milk, chocolate bar ^^] a lot of students from other schools were there too...so, managed to meet an old friend..happy! thought i'd totaly lost contact.
that's it..no more trips like this not for a while anyway..school isn't so kind [or so rich] to provide so many...oh well, and about the college, it's average sized...not too bad..a few cafeterias..didn't get to 'explore' the place though so still can't tell much..
okay, gotta go now...nothing much else to say anyway...ja! oyasuminasai!

wierd need-to-online time
haih...really should be sleeping now..dunno why i chose to come online..0_o *grumbles at self* well, the good thing is, now jane and kimberly are online...at least something..oh, and i have something to complain about too..T_T
waaaaaaaa!! holidays are ending..i haven't even enjoy properly!! not fair....! i hate the thought of going back to school...*cries*
okay, that's my complaint...now, what other blog-worthy things are there..? hmm....thinking, thinking..darn!i've got blogger's block..erm...oh ya, finished that fanfic ally recomended to me..it's title was 'boys before the high seas?' i suggest reading it if you want a good laugh and are a fan of hana yori dango [or meteor garden..either will do..^^] but if i give a summary here, you'll all probably not understand anyway..so, read it for yourselves..hehe..
since i'm nearing the end of the holidays, i decided to try to at least start on the 'workload'...only gotten through two pages of sejarah notes and a lil add maths revision..[which isn't really counted in the workload, right?]
ZzZzzzz....okay, i admit, i'm getting sleepy now...maybe i can't blog properly coz i'm so brain dead now...better give it some rest before it commands my head to fall straight on the keyboard...oyasumi-nasai!

late message up
konnichiwa!
heheh, have failed to post upon my return from Pemanggil three days ago...it wasn't a 'blast' as most people say but well, i enjoyed it....i know, the littlest things make me happy..^^
let's see, a whole busload of people went. i definately didn't know all of them..in fact, i only knew a random few but managed to renew acquaintence [sort of] with two girls who also went on one of these kind of trips in the past. i also know this is wierd, but i enjoyed having a whole load of people around...heh..pretty nice..like having a huge family [with no obligations] lol...
okay, here it is in short, i took a six hour bus ride to the jeti, then a four hour boat trip to the island itself which includes my getting a little seasick but i went to sleep in the last two hours so i was fine. on the day i arrived, i actually did the stupid thing and went out with the boat to go snorkeling. snorkeling was nice but boy, the boat ride, once again, gave me a headache.
word of warning bout the place, it's the first place i've ever been to that has a bathroom un-equipped with a mirror and sink. all they have is a sort of place to hold water and a toilet.
on the second day, could either go out snorkeling [in the boat again?!!?],fishing or jungle trekking. my mom and her group didn't want to do neither or prefered to take the boat out elsewhere [we went there in three boats] so we told the activitie organizer so. personally, i seriously didn't feel like having another go on the boat...heh...in the end, we spent the day doing our own trekking/sight-seeing. the fishing boat did come back with some fish..nothing big or fancy, but edible..yum...=D
third day, [night actually] barbecue night..heheh...got stuck doing the barbecueing with the two other girls..but ended up prefering to do the barbecue than eat..heheh..that's me..lol..don't worry, i did eat..my parents won't stand me not eating. so, managed to eat a few pieces of chicken wings but had to sacrifice the skin coz the burnt skin isn't good for you..waaaa...T_T needless to say, slept rather late.
woke up early fourth morning to pack and eat breakfast before bording boat. i didn't dare to eat in case i got seasick and throw up in the boat but i needn't have worried. the whether was nice and good so it didn't rock badly at all and i quite enjoyed it..as you know, four hours to shore, reached jeti and then found out that one of the other boats won't move so they were marooned on another island jeti. slight delay waiting for them to be towed in then, six hour ride back. by the time i got back, it was about ten o' clock...so from there, goodnight.

rainy morning, no school
ohayo!
by this post, you can obviously see i'm not in school..^^ and it's raining now. will be going over to friend's place if rain stops. nice cool weather anyway...well, the reason i'm not in school is because they have all these boring activities to celebrate our national day....so, in ordder that i shall not suffer from boredom and be all alone [coz obviously you guys smartly won't be there], i ter-absented myself form school and got a lil extra sleep.
and, nope, didn't manage to skip school yesterday [dunno why my parents mind so much about my attendance in school] but didnt' do my oral either....phew!
i'll be going off to pemanggil today [yes, i know, wierd name for a place..gives me this vision of people standing on the shore of the beach shouting over to one another 0_o] will be going off in the evening...funny, they said we'd have to take a boat so don't tell me i have to take a boat over at night?! will tell more when i get back! ja!

moody teachers are scary
i think that goes without saying but what if you add in a pregnant moody teacher? ouch...believe me, it's scary..my malay teacher at school was okay before but now she's pregnant and so i think it's the mood-swing thingy..she was in a bad mood today and awnted my class to finish off our oral. since no one was ready, we didn't but we probably have to do it tomorrow..that's why, kamini came up with a brilliant plan of me and Yin Yin not coming to school tomorrow...brilliant,ne? =P
now, how am i going to work out an excuse not to go to skool tomorrow and friday?
haih...better go now...have pesky sibling at my back...ja!

out of the house weekend ^^
ohayo gozaimas!
it's now eleven o' clock and i'm not in church...my mom is both too lazy and tired to go today because of the "tiring" day yesterday...personally, i love living life like that...hehe..going out morning, afternoon and night..
let's see, in the morning, went with my mom [the whole of yesterday and today will be spent with her cause my dad and bro ain't in] to KL Sentra by komuter train to pick up airplane tickets for my aunt and brother for their trip to Pangkor next week. it was about 2 pm by the time we got back and my mom's friend was already at our house cause they [mom n frenz] had already planned to go out shopping today..since i didn't want to be alone on this potentially lurvly shopping trip, i called Mel [gomenasai!, Mel, i know it was a rush!!] so the entire afternoon til evening was spent in Pyramid looking into [and getting stuck in] CD shops browsing through animes...yatta!!^^
oh and i saw 'To Heart' !!! i want it!!! waaaaaa!!! i know you guys haven't heard of it but....i really like the story [or what i've heard of it] so bear with me...also, i want 'Inuyasha' !! but for Inuyasha, i haven't the funds...-_-' waii...it's not fair...
and back on track, after sending mel home and resting for a bit, we went off again to the pasar borong i'm-not-sure-which-area =P my mom has restocked our freezer with fish! haih...will be having a fishy week..T_T and even after all that, we still had the energy to come back here and start a small teppanyaki supper...lol...lasted up to bout 11 or 12 when they decided to watch a scary movie ['inner senses' to be exact] and i got a lil freaked when it got to the scene where the character goes to take a shower and hears scary noises so i decided to go upstairs and watch my newly bought anime before i got too freaked out to put a foot in the bathroom...^^;;
ended up sleeping at two when they left and i finished the episode i was watching...not really that tired today...in fact, i wanna go out! hehe...might be going for a trim..ja! sayonara!

uppity-downey thursday
konban wa....
just got home bout an hour ago from chelle's house..was watching Vandread and got glued..hehe..^^
Vandread isn't quite what i expected..[cause of the name i guess] it's this anime about girls and guys being total enemies and they've never seen each other before except from a looooooooong looooooooong time ago since they left earth. Men believe that women will eat their liver when they catch them and so are terrified...[i laughed out loud at this] chelle only has the first 17 episode but they are already very funny!! ^___^ the drawings are so kawaii!!! on the girls side at least [tho what they wear is quite revealing 0_o]
started the day feeling a lil off and maybe down...but something kept me cheery...heheh...got through school...[yes, i still hate school!! T_T] ally came to chelle's..finally get to see her! so long edi...since they joined the dance i haven't seen them in quite a while...so, beeeeeeeg HELLO! to u guys...heh...
gtg bathe now..ja!

shout out loud and get a lil louder
lol....you'll get all kinds of ideas, reading that title...well, i'm aware that i've been absent from the world of blogger for a while..heh...and so this post is a update starting from last tuesday up til today..in a way...
the title was triggered by the english oral exam i had last Tuesday..boy, i was bloody nervous and ..haih...obviously didn't do well...@_@ for starters, i didn't have the script stuff memorized and i don't think it wouldn've helped...i'm just really bad at this kinda stuff coz i'm calm right until i step up there in the "spotlight" then i'm dead...waaaaaaaa!! glad it's over but could've kicked myself over it...T_T
hmm..can't quite remember the days after that except i've got quite a bit of homework to do...triggers another huge sigh..and during the weekend, a friend and her lil bro came over for the whole day and my dad took us out to this art gallery at a hotel in Shah Alam. The paintings were nice...[jealous...love the shadings done T_T] but there were only a few. Missed T.R.U.E yet again....heh...
Sunday was pretty normal...except that Sunday was one of the occasional ones when we actually visit the club to go swimming...that's partly why i'm so tired and dead looking today..kyaa...the pool was overflowing..[with people o_0] so had to swim first few laps avoiding people, mostly kids...
Now, as for today, highly uneventful maybe cause i'm so tired and sleepy so blur until i don't realise what's happening around me..lol..so, i suppose you wonder what i do learn. and let see, ah yes, highly happy bout the new banner i managed to put up!! yay!! ^^
o-kay, so i guess that's all..? hehe...ja! sayonara!

caught in cycle again
i'm bored...i don't really have anything in particular to say except, why is there no interesting rp?? haih...but then again, i've only been on neopian boards so that's no surprise...okay, for those of you who really don't get what i'm talking about, rp means role-playing..i've just gotten a lil into it...kinda interesting..some people out there have started out pretty good storylines...i guess...and it's sort of entertainment for a bored person like me..heh...
and, random thought, i still want to learn japanese....! ^^;; yes, it's been so long since i mentioned much about japanese here but the stuff about anime should've been a good enough hint that i'm still in the craze!! ^.^
okay..bored again...shall go in search of more interesting rps..ja!

i guess i've never mentioned this on the blog before but, my grandmother was ill and we had to send her to a nursing home...that was in April...and, i just got the news that she passed away today. i know, that's abrupt i just feel there's no other way to put it...considering how long she was ill, maybe it's for the best but i just wish she's woken up to speak to us or something...
this is just a sort of 'let-you-know' thing...i won't be in school tomorrow. see ya...

juz a lil bit more...>_<
the week's bin juz a little tiring and my small cousins are over here at the moment. i have to baby-sit cause my mom isn't feeling too good. they're adorable but heh....like i said, it's tiring...-_- right, i'm back. just went to give my younger cousin a bath. school as usual, sucks...i hate school...everyone knows that.
since the open day, my dad doesn't want me to spend much time on the net anymore and i have a sort of study schedule like a subject to study everyday...now, i figure, maybe my choosing to enter the science stream was a death wish on my part [lazy person like me] x_x
i know i haven't blogged in a while. for one, there's been nothing much to say. another thing is, i haven't had all the time i guess...heh...oh and, i managed to watch yami no matsuei last thursday ^^ the dvd was weevern's [lucky!!] but we only managed to watch til the end of Devil's Thrill arc. Hisoka is so cute!!!! and so is Tsuzuki [especially in that doggy form..hehehe...] i wanna finish it but now have to wait til next thursday T_T i. will. survive!

*sigh* school education is so tedious
today was my school open day. yes, the day we naughty students really hate
cause that's when the two disiplinarians of both our worlds meet and our balance
goes off course 0_O
My dad came and of course he had something to say about my er...nicely coloured
report card [three red marks i forgot if they were in a row or not]...i will definately not have
much time on the net today and i think the only reason i'm allowed on now is because
i was doing some of my homework just now and my dad's busy. oh, and also cause i have
a project to finish...working on that one...right...
nothing else much to say really...just wanted to shout out bout the damn school
education and the unfairness that its so freakin important! why?!? i ask you! why?!?! :,-(

la di da...
i'm running out of titles...heh....ok, so the interact thingy wasn't as bad as i dreaded it
to be [phew!] but it was boring, yes...it started a lil late for one, and then all we did was
sit there and listen to some speeches [thankfully short!] and charlotte's speech was
pretty interesting...but the only thing i actually found entertaining were the dances by
two groups of form 2 students...one was a dance to the song 'cinderella' by britney spears
and the other was choreographed to a cute chinese song...i think the title was 'say i love
you' but i can't be sure...hmm...then two guys played their guitars and sang..[guitar was nice
singing a lil off] and after all that, came the badge awarding, photography for the new and
old board members...ah well, you get the idea...so i left early...
today was pretty boring....mel's happy though [u definately know why, mel! ^^]
and i was late to school for the first time today...@_@ was sleepy!! and mostly, refusal to get
out of my nice bed only to step into awful awful school!! and darn! i have add maths tuition later...
haih....no getting out of it i guess...might as well go take a shower now..ja!

...
dull day with a freakin nothing happening yet lil stuff goes wrong. my internet
connection's wierd..itz streamyx and supposed to be fast and it is but today
everything keeps stalling..this afternoon, i couldn't get into my blogger and a few
other sites..now i keep wondering bout tomorrow's stupid interact installation that
i should never have paid for in the first place coz now i have to go....i don't want to.
i figure it'll be boring...well, i can always hope i'm wrong...still...i don't know..
yeah, it's stupid to think about such small stuff but i just can't stand boredom hence
this stupid lil itch i can't scratch! darn!
still, sunny side up, i finished the book natasha lent me titled 'Good Knyght' it's really
funny! but i think the third one's funnier...i haven't read it but Natasha showed me
most of the funny parts..i really recommend books in this series..especially for those
of you who seriuosly need good laughs in your lives ^_~ au revoir!

emotional ballerina
today is tuesday..of course it's tuesday. what kind of idiot do i take you for? [nevermind my random
bursts of wierd conversation T_T ] and about the title above, keep in mind that it's just a contemplation
and i'm not depressed or anything. it's not my emotions i'm talking about but the emotions of those
around me. i have to light-step around [sometimes upon] their emotions in order not to hurt anyone's
feelings. but somehow, in all this, things i want to say or at least the original intent gets lost [i don't
know how i just don't say things very well anymore hence the whole self question thing]
doesn't matter anyway. i guess it's supposed to be that way. long as i'm happy i guess.. i dunno...but like
i keep saying to everyone and all, 'SmiLe!'

wo hen kai xin!! ^^
nevermind the sudden burst of chinese above...hehe.....this is a delayed post from
yesterday coz i got back from Summit after watching Twins Effect [main reason why
i'm happy^^ Edison was so cute in it!!] and my parents were home so i didn't have time to use the computer..
i finally got out of the house yesterday...not that i was stuck in all the while but what
i mean is, i finally had a chance to go out with my friends yesterday instead of just my
family n me..oh, and did i mention i got a twinkle tattoo on my arm...dunno how my mom will
react to it...i haven't shown her yet...dunno if i will...
bout today, nothing much i wanna talk about...will just end of by posting these tests ;

you're the playful fairy:
you're a very friendly person and always has
someone to hangout with. try thinking about
which friends are the truest of friends though,
you dont need people who are there one minute
and gone the next...

nani...??
nothing much with the title..was never very good with titles anyway...nyah..T_T
somehow this one sentence/verse keeps swimming in my head at the moment,
madness is my solace yeah, i know, wierd. but i guess you could call
it a way of living. nothing much around here holds much sense...my feelings, moods
[which hold the least sense possible] & how i go through life. hmph...it's not that
i'm confused..heh...it's just, well, me...i guess.
zooming back in on life, i passed my moral exam. yippee to me..^^ school is as boring
as ever, home life at the moment seems quite the best [online and free from this place]
just need my computer, songs to download and occasionaly, people online to talk to.
However, today, my net line seems to be slow...waahh! can't stand it!! >_< i need a
fast connection to download!!! shall now check out why it's so slow and reboot computer
if necesarry...

back to [u guessed it] - monday.
well, guess what? i just found out today that you can't wear a white or pale blue
(light to be exact) hair tie to school. Geez! what stupid rules! honestly, what's wrong
with white and blue? light blue, dark blue. what's the difference?? oh, and if you think
i'm saying this angrily, i'm not. crazy as it is, i'm on the verge of laughing. for some
reason, that's how it's been all the hours through school. it wasn't a good day, in fact
you could say it's a pretty bad day. But somehow, whenever some of this ridiculously
lousy stuff happened, i just felt like laughing and in some cases, i did.
oh well, this is monday. and anyway, i'm home now and for some reason have developed
a Edison craze^^. heh. don't ask how or why...i don't know. i didn't watch any movie that
featured him recently or anything...i guess it was that article promoting the twins effect
that he's acting in as well. and...he's so cute! hehehe...now you know how genki i can
get..^.^

I know the hour is rather late...but...i just finished Harry Potter & the
Order of the Phoenix. I....am a little at loss now considering Sirius' death
was near the end 0_o[i figure i'm correct in assuming whoever actually reads
my blog has already done with HP 5 and speculated over it] i'm now of
course upset about Sirius' death...[regardless of spoilers] haih...i just don't
know how to express myself properly now... the ending is unsatisfactory to
me yet it's unchangable for me now. there's so much to tell...so many things
happened yet..ok, i'm going to put it this way, a lot of events happened to
explain many things we readers were definately curious about it the past,
and it's sort of like making the way for the sixth and seventh book..but
unlike earlier books, [or rather very much like earlier books] nothing happens
in the way that you would want to get to the ending quickly, meaning once
again, Voldemort appears, speaks to Harry, causes some damage, and *poof*, off
again. But this time, Voldemorts return is definate so it's not just poof anymore...
yeah, yeah, stupidly put but well, that's how i'm kinda feeling right now..
the wait for the sixth and seventh book is going to drive me mad...in fact, i am going
mad right now... i need the sixth book at least!!!
And before i forget [ though how could i ever forget] Harry is a idiotic hothead.
there's nothing more i'd like to say against him except he's a stupid, damned hothead
and some of what he got he deserved and i'm really upset that Sirius was one of the
dealings that Harry got.
nevermind this mad rant. i'm just trying to vent off something here...but how i can now
pass the book on to Jasmine and Li Ting i wonder.....

monday.....again?!?!
as you can see from my title, '
"What?!?! it's Monday again?!?!?"
"Yeah, well, what do you know...it creeps up on you"
"Darn!"
yep, that's what i have to say bout monday...[cringe] me don't
like monday... T_T going to school and getting stuck in class just ain't my cup
of tea...haih...
on the other hand, ^^ i chelle passed me 'Harry Potter & the Order of the Pheonix'
i'm reading it now...only managed to pry myself away to type this post... ^_______^
JK Rowling changed her style a lil...and i still can't get away from my impression
that Harry's acting like a spoiled brat [or 'git' as they say..heh] and i'm only in the
seventh chapter....hmm....but then i'll know more when i finish it and of course,
i'll be able to give out more spoilers..not that they'll be spoilers anymore, considering
almost everyone seems to have managed to get their hands on the book already..
well, in that case, i'd better jump right back to the book already...[chelle, you just
can't wait til i finish, can you?? ^.~]

ohayo gozaimas! [7:00am] - went to add maths tuition at this hour...yawn! so sleepy..
hehe....tuition ended at 9:00am..came home and watched Cardcaptor Sakura^^ So nice...it was
the last episode..again..you know what? somehow, it's wierd...I'll almost always end up watching
what i watched the first time..like, there was this anime i watched once in my friend's house [Nie9
sumthing like that] and the next time i went there, i saw it again! the exact same episode...sigh.
then the episode of CCS i saw was the one of the few i actually watched during the first screening
of it on Ntv7...and again, i missed the second last episode which i wanted to watch...T_T ah well...
konnichiwa! [ 10:30am - 5:00pm] - went out with my mom and her friends and my bro to
pyramid to catch 'Finding Nemo'...happy!^^ it was so kawaii!! i loved the part where Dory was speaking
whale...and the turtles..and that cute pink starfish!! hehe....yes, i loved the movie..^^;; and of course it
was a happy ending...Nemo got untied with his father and his father got a whole new personality..it
was so sweet..."just keep swimming, just keep swimming"
after the movie, i was even happier...hehe...we went down to the skating rink to check out the shops
down there and i found the anime shop!!!! ^^ waaiii!!! i found almost all the anime i could ever want...
and there was saiyuki and inuyasha...i have to go back after the exams...dreaming of pyramid...then
there was a Japan pameran to promote Japan...they had some activities....making
the japanese kite, dance, other stuff i guess...only a small pameran though...
after that, i got back and of course, had to hit the books again...sigh....but nevermind, i now have
a goal...to get back to pyramid after exams...bwahahahaha!!

I am....lost.
This feels funny...today, I mean. It's Saturday and
I didn't go out at all. And I do mean at all this is really
rare...heh....of course, it's of no significance to most people out there,
but I just feel wierd. Out of routine I guess.
Well, on a very slightly lighter note, I finished off two of my school
projects...yippee for me!! ^^ but, there's yet another one which I haven't
started and I need it by Monday! waaaaahhh!! >_< And I'm still tired from
finishing the last two...o_0 [that's probably how I look at school]
this post is going no where isn't it? yeah, I should just finsh off and go.
...oh ya, finish off, rite? erm..okay, sayonara! *waves and drops head back on table...*

A week went by so quickly. Projects, projects, projects. Heaped upon me.
I feel pressed to the ground. I feel the pressure. Words typical of a typical teen?
Maybe. I need to be shaken up in my own time Get away from the hectic life for
a minute. Which i did. At Cameron's, I was able to be carefree. Able to forget
responsiblities for a while. On the busride home, slowly, the pressure came back.
The thoughts of all the things I must do rushed inside my head. Must be the effect
coming back has on me. I'm tired. Not quite physically. Yes, I know, who am I to
speak like this. One who still has yet to bear the burden of the working environment
and countless responsibilities....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Was thinking bout this in school...maybe it's the effect of this 'fake' Friday the 13th...
Generally, I like Friday...but today i was kinda moody..well, i'm a moody person
by nature anyway...

well, hello...how did my day go? this morning, i went
over to a friend's place...then, she and her bro came over to my place...
funny i know, but well...that's pretty much how i spent it..we went online..
browsed around...talked..joked...laughed a lot...it is fun but you have
to do it to know what i'm talking about...
why am i even talking bout this? i dunno...maybe to show how mundane
life can get...but then again, everyone knows that, right? in truth, i shouldn't
even be saying this cause, i have an exam coming up, i really should be
studying but...i dunno, i'm lazy..i keep putting it off...i'll probably flunk some
subjects again >_<...ah well....
on a happier note, i went out last friday to watch matrix:reloaded. ^.^
that was the first time i got it in a few months! felt good...hehe...as you can
now see, i can't stand being at home too much...the movie? it was pretty good..
the effects were, of course, wonderful considering it is the matrix..unfortunately,
i couldn't quite remember the first movie so i'm slightly lost on some things..
i guess that's about it...

anime hunt re-awoken
me happy to be online....^.^ has been quite a nice day except for
oral test which i didn't take in the end [my own fault T_T teacher
was merciful]....
finaly got around to watching my 'Come to my place' cds [F4's in it
though minor roles..grrrrr ~_~] with ally...by the way, i seem to
dislike the "main" character (he's not worthy! not cute, wierd smile and
self-centered!!!] correction, yeah, i really dislike him.. =P was much gladder
when Jerry & other F4 members came into the scene..*_*
and now, to add to my cheer, i'm on an anime hunt again, no specific anime,
just searching for lovely anime mp3 downloads [hint; Love Hina, Inuyasha, ...]
so far, i have one site that has lovely mp3s [the one that started me off in the
1st place] and i think i may have hit another one.....^.^
excuse me while i go check it out now....hehehehe...

labour day...
it's 10 o' clock and i'm not sleepy despite a supposedly tiring day...
i spent the entire day today at an inter-CF rally themed 'Awsome King' who is
of course, Jesus Christ..
it was really good...the worship services especially....hah...i wish we had such
upbeat, lively worship services every Sunday, but then, as the speaker said,
If your worship is boring that means you are boring too... =P ouch! hehe..
i was there from 9:30 am till now...quite a few of my friends were there. Some
couldn't make it though...sad...they would've enjoyed it! Then there was a band
'Altered Frequency' who led the after dinner worship service [there were 3; morning,
lunch and after dinner] before that, there was the ice breaker much earlier on in
the morning, games and workshop...i'd like to say a big thank you to the people
who organised this though i don't think they'll ever know...they really put in all their
effort...! ^.^ nice holiday...too bad have to go to school tomorrow though...spoils it
lil bit..just a lil... o_0 oh well, life goes on, for good or for bad.. =P [no, i'm not a
doomsayer, mind! blwehh!] i think i've blogged enough now..sayonara!

konban wa..
sleepy day...was sleepy most of the time through school [and hot!! the electricity was cut of,
has been for the past 4 days] I don't know whether to say this is a good day or a bad day..
i can't say it was really bad since most of my teachers didn't come so i had a lot of free periods
and i was helping a teacher with registration files along with chelle n al...so that was kinda fun..
and it wasn't bad when i got back either...pretty normal...
but then...i'm just done checking my e-mail and i'm thinking something through while i read 1 of them
[ i say 1 coz it's actually four but it continues so it adds up to 1] no, i'm not going to get to the point
today firstly coz i don't want to name names and well, i just need a place to rant so this is it...i guess..
it's not as if the e-mail was directly offensive and yet it was..maybe i'm just too sensitive...i guess
another person wouldn't have minded...but when i create a character and all that, i don't even like someone
else taking the name of the character and what's more, this has happened twice with two different people...
i thought the first time was bad?! this is worse...not only is the name used..[sort of with my "permission"]
the character is twisted and not mine...in fact it's the opposite...and no, i can't speak discuss
with any1 or that person...
i know this is a stupid issue to be sensitive about but damn, i'm a wierd person so this is just something i
can't change not even for my friends...if i did...i don't think i even need to bother being me anymore...

do tend to ask for lotz of attention...but still very kawaii!!! oh well, no matter
what i say, i can't dislike tiny kids...hehe...after all, i'm a kid myself....i know,

more quizzies! what's with me and quizzies now? anyway, i just went for a Bible quiz today at
my school. I don't think i did too badly [considering that i did my first ever serious bible study
last night!] and i'm kinda happy that i managed to remember most of the text i read! yippee! hehe...
wierd though that this describes my kind of smile,

You're the smirk,a frown-smile hybrid that's a
little bit cocky and usually associated with
evil or arrogant,but attractive people.You
probably just don't give a damn,but it's
everyone else's fault if you don't because
you're too awesome to have any real faults.
What Kind of Smile are You?
brought to you by Quizilla
i didn't know i my smile portrayed an evil arrogant person...hmm....oh well...if i can smile and laugh all
i want, who cares what kind of smile it is?!?! bwahahaha! then again, i wonder if it clashes with this one...?,
I'm exceptionally artistic!
Find your soul type at kelly.moranweb.com.
Virtues: You look for immense creativity and individuality in people, including yourself. You're not happy with anything less than brilliant, and you focus on being expressive. You value energy, liveliness, and upbeat personalities, but you're not supportive of moodiness when you yourself can be unreliably moody. Seeking activity, you like the bustle of business but need the secluded atmosphere of a studio or private corner.
Aspirations: You feel the need to express your talents, whether it be through writing, drawing, singing, dancing, composing, performing, or photographing. While you strive to ever improve your work, you want to display it as soon as possible when your impatience kicks in. You want to be a prodigy but you might not have the means right at your fingertips. Trust me, do NOT move to New York to do it. Yeesh!
Quirks: Conformists bother you because of their lack of individuality. You're often late or unreliable. You're showy and refuse to share the spotlight. You only tell little white lies. You worm your way into the hearts of others, but be careful; some people despise the show-offs.
Factors: Surround yourself with activity and you'll always have material to work with. Involve friends and family in your projects so they don't feel like envious outsiders.
Future: Show business or not, you'll settle down happily if you're among those who appreciate your natural talents and desire to perform. Don't stay in one place too long, and don't be too hasty in defining your relationships. Who are you to judge what only time will tell?
for those of you who wonder what it is with people and tests, you may click the lil 'X' button on the right hand corner
of this page now...this page does not suit you [or at least, for today] i'm in a mood for these kind of things so what
the heck...and in case you're not convinced, there's another lil quizzie right here!

Who's Your Anime Boyfriend?
o-kay, that's the end of quizzies for today... =P and by the way, since this blog is supposed to be about what's
going on in my life after all, i had a double b'day celebration this year..[thanx 2 all my frenz!] both were unexpected
hehe...how blur can i get huh? and i'm going to the homelife meeting tonight...i'm not sure who's house it's at
though...ah..i'll find out anyway..hehe...sayonara!

Sunny Day
On the outside, you seem thoughtful, serious and pensive, but most of the time (if not all of the time!) you're dancing on the inside. You're a sweet person with a loyal nature, but there's no way anyone can push you around! ADVICE: You may seem boring and difficult at times, so be sure to let others get to know the lighter side of you that doesn't mind partying!
another 1..^_~* ...is it true?? i'm boring!! aaarrrggghhh!! hehe...who cares?! =P

traffic light theory
no, i don't drive but well, i've been following my mom out on the road for 2 days in a row
[today and yesterday] so i've been seeing traffic lights [of course]. just figured that
when u reach a red light and u're still a way off from it, it doesn't mean that's going to
slow u down or anything..in fact so far it's a pretty good sign for me...by the time u reach it
it turns green so smooth going til the next one...0_o
sumtimes though,when it's green it can stay green all the way til u've passed through as well..
o-kay..i'll elaborate my point now.. red light means a problem in life that may stop us for a
while..we spot this problem a little while before we reach it and think that problem is going
to slow us down but sumtimes it works out along the way and it's smooth sailing. On the
other hand, i'm not concluding that if it's a "green light" then it means that we'll have a problem
after that either...being too suspicious can drive one nuts! =P
and of course, the grand conclusion is, U R WASTING UR TIME! y r u reading dumb "theories"
from here?? not helpful or relevant u know...oh well....

konban wa!

studied properly before...oh well, first time for everything! ^_^
mel, u still haven't updated ur blog and neither have u, ally n shelly! i

blog on april fool's day..nothing much to blog though...nothing happened..
everyone was too busy frantically last minute study for the exam...a let off... =P
You won't find change on your pillow,
Not the first thing in the morning, everyday,
But in through your high and low,
Change catches up somehow, someway...
Whether it's a lot or a little,
It'll come by anyway,
And may seem more than a little,
crazy...

kwhee...tired...a bit...but still got stamina to eat! hehe....
spent most of the day helping to carry things up and down
but if i'm tired, mom must be even more so! [me lazy! yes, i know]
might move into my own room soon! but before that, have to take down
everything from my cupboard and pack and unpack! waaa... =,( shall rue having
so many things then! hehe... doesn't this scenario sound familiar? i'm supposed to be
studying now but i'm online..[sounds just like what happened last year before PMR,no?] keh keh...
taekwando only added to my tiredness...teachers seem a bit grumpy today..why? they should be happier!
after all, they're the ones who get to tell us to do stuff! geez! made us do all sorts of funny
yoga-like exercises..am currently trying to learn mandarin..sad to say, i have a pretty
bad memory.. =,( sniff! pity me...for those of u who have better things to do, stop
reading this! this is not worthy of ur time! i'm just writing crap so to see if
i can finish this triangle thingy i'm making..=P what are u doing? still
reading?!? oh well, since u choose to waste ur time, it's ur

waaaaa!! the exam is starting tomorrow! i haven't learnt a thing
from my science subjects!!! nooo!!! oh well, now i'm done with my pointless
whining, maybe i'll get myself off this chair and go study. after all, tomorrow is
BM [don't like it! methinks it's pointless] but anyway, it'll buy me time to
study... haih...
do not like certain things taken from me. dreams and fantasies are like a part
of me. what i create in them is mine. yes, possesive but what else do i have
truly of value to me? just because i shared a little of my fantasy whatnot does
not mean ___ have to put it ___ fantasy too and make everything in it my pattern.
not flattering. should not care but i dunno...still do not feel too good bout it...
shall have to go now. don't mind my pointless rambling. not much meant by it...

konnichiwa,
it's friday and it's just like any other day. except, i have to be at
church this evening for some seminar. and..there's nothing else to say about it
so, anyway, what's new? i've just been skipping my classes for a week. that's
about it. and i got caught yesterday. sort of. thanks to two oh so "great" tattletale
good for nothing bratty juniors... nah, unfortunately, am not mad at them anymore...
i really do not feel like going to school. everyday on a weekday, i wake up and try
to think up ways to cut school. i haven't so far...but i feel, being at school when i have
all those lousy useless teachers feels really pointless. and yes, this is another of
my pointless ramblings when i have nothing to say...

it's good to be back...
in a way, i re-visited my memories today. I went to my old school's (SMSJ)
canteen day. the school looked pretty much the same but the one place
that was most familiar to me, the LEO Garden, underwent quite some changes.
It has changed for the better, it looks much better now. So pretty! ^^ all this thanks to
Ai Vee, one of the board members of LEO club. The painting of Simba on the wall
isn't there anymore. the pile of rocks are still there, decorated with a small jar
perched on top now. The "pond" (that was always dry) below it has been converted into
a garden now. you really have to see for yourself. I love it! ^^
and yet, in a way, it's kinda wierd to look at it and think how different it was from the
place i used to meet all my friends at. We used to sit on the pile of rocks but i guess
we can't do that now...=P
Also, i was very happy to see my friends Melissa and Suneetha again. I managed to talk
to them for a short while and I'm really happy they remembered me... but then, went of
to catch up with Regina, Ai Vee and Jas Min who were well, looking for things to spend
their cupons on. In the end, i spent my last two dollar cupons on this lil key chain...
souvenier from SJ?? =P

of yesterday's "stress"!]

to all you people who had a good/average day today,
enjoy it! mine was just filled with irritating 'bad incidents'...
first of all, the science experiment we were supposed to be
doing in chemistry class didn't work. I'm not so mad about
the first time the accident happened coz we really didn't
know it would happen but the second time was a repeat of the first
mistake we made and that's what i'm kinda mad about [at the time].
What happened was, we were supposed to heat up a bikar of water and
put the test tube in when it reached 60 degrees but in the process of
moving the bikar,which was on top of the stand above the heater,
we accidently tilted the stand and the bikar of water spilled. Next,
we repeated the process only, this time, we managed to break the bikar
as well. Oh well, we'll make sure there's no such thing as 'step 3'
next time.. :p
Then, i came home and find out first thing that my piano techer
called a few minutes before i got home and found out i wasn't home and
neither was my brother so she left a message with my maid to call her
when i got home, which i did but couldn't get her because apparently,
something's wrong with her phone. So, i did not have my piano lessons
today. [that's considered a bad thing for me, by the way]
After that, i decided to take a shower [but not before i finished the
book i borrowed from Weevern]. And in the middle of my shower while i'm
rinsing the shampoo out of my hair, the water sort of runs out into a
trickle. Haih...of course i was very irritated when that happened but
decided to turn of the tap and wait a while and thank goodness, the
water came back on and i was able to continue with my bath...
If i were a superstitious person, i just might blame it on that book i
borrowed from Weevern at school today. Maybe i brings bad luck to it's
readers...hmm.. It's not a very cheerful book anyway..and the main character
is a rather pessismetic, paranoid [to the extreme] and biased person,not to
mention pretty sick in the head..!
But then again, i'm not an extremely superstitious person so, i don't
think i should blame it on the book...hehe...but anyway, as i can still
laugh about the day, it wasn't so bad after all...in fact, i'll probably
look at it and laugh one day..consider this day a 'bad experience' day.
the day where i learn some of the bad experiences and of course, more of
what to expect in life next time. oh well, this has been an extremely
long post. I'd better go now..not to mention it's nearly 6 and i need to get
to the tv so i can watch Meteor Garden [it'll probably make me a lot happier
anyway!] ;p so..sayonara!

THIS HAS BEEN A FREAKIN HOT DAY!!!
yes, i exaggerated but it is true that it was hot all day today.
Much hotter than any other normal day (which,btw, my cuz from
australia complains about,that is of course, when it's not
bush fire time) Aaaaarrrrgggghh! Do. Not. Like. The. Sun.
Have been busy ytping long replies to my friend and cousin today.
I don't know why, but i just feel rather chatty when i'm writing
rather than actually speaking...ah well...at least i'm chatty at some
point!! ^.^
Am leaving now to go off on my usual search for my usual 'stuff' ....

It's the night before school. I'm actually online...and i'm doing my
homework at the same time. Oh well, it's a more productive way to
manage my time, right? If i can do both, why not? ;) This is actually
good, at least i won't be moaning that i'm bored for a while...but then
again, i might just moan about it for fun. =P
The reason i'm online tonight, is coz i'm looking for piano notes to the
harry potter theme. Sigh, this is the second night i'm searching for it.
I can't believe it's so hard to find. I will find it!!! [yes, this is one of my
more stubborn moments] oh well, better get started then...

Depression. Strange lapse of sadness for no reason? I know
a lot of people would argue that point, but before anyone
gets aggressive, I'm not accusing or saying that it's a fact. Just
that sometimes, with me, that's the way it is. Strange lapses
of just well, something like depression. I wouldn't say it was
depression though. I have a feeling that, if i were depressed, I'd
be worse of. Probably couldn't even talk about it. Probably, wouldn't
talk at all.
Wierd...
p/s - i suddenly notice that i've been skipping [posting my blog] every six days

konichiwaa...
I actually attended my church's youth alive today [renamed TRUE - To Radically Unite Everyone]
Since it's the first meeting of the new year, we had an ice breaker. We stick a piece of paper on
our backs and everyone has to go around writing encouraging stuff on us. Pretty fun. I prefer this
kind of ice breaker...heheh..
After that, the lesson was about 'Winners n Whiners'. We were actually supposed to skip dinner,
breakfast and lunch before going there but since i wasn't at the last one, i didn't know hence,
ate dinner and breakfast. The food has something to do with the lesson in the way that, well, they
asked what we would do if we were denied food when we were very hungry. That shows the whiner
side of ourselves..o-kay...i know, this is hard to get so i won't bother going into detail. This is again,
one of those things that you have to experience before you know what i'm talking about.
School starts in two days. Happy happy me...[being sarcastic by the way] i hate school. But what
can i do..? Everyone has to go to school so i'll just live it out. Yep, live it out and make the best of it.

righto, happy new year to everyone... sorry i didn't get
to wish you guys on the day itself i wasn't home. I spent the
'countdown nite' at my friend, Regina's place sleptover...
Nothing much to say really. Just that, well, I was just thinking
bout an anime. It's from studio Ghibli. My favourite anime studio.
This anime is entitled 'Grave of the Fireflies'. It talks about two
siblings during a war. I watched it when I was a kid and somehow,
even as a kid, i thought it was a really sad movie. Everytime i
watched it, I'd get pretty sad. So, you can guess, I only watched
it once or twice as a kid. I have the VCD now but i haven't gotten
around to watching it yet. Now, thinking about it makes me feel
pretty sad and depressed like.
My dad just got home. I didn't open the gate this time. My mom
did. For some reason, that makes me feel guilty. Now I think about
it, well, i'm thinking about the kids who don't have dads. And how
happy they'd be if only they could open the gate and greet their
dad everyday. Yeah, I'm crazy. So sue me.
