Happy Chinese New Year 2004
Konnichiwa..just want to wish you all a HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR after my long absence form blogging... ^^ so, first of all, hontoni gomenasai! i didn't blog because i was banned offline on weekdays and weekends are terrible for coming online because my parents are in and i actually get scutinized..and time when i do get online, i don't feel like blogging... :p [yes, long-winded apology..must be telling me to shut up and get on with it, ne? hehehe]

nothing much been happening...this chinese new year, been going for lunches and dinners at aunties houses..all taking turns to cook. the usual tradition of playing mahjong [no, i don't play. i watch.. ;)] and the kids hanging on the video games. hee...the usuals...i kinda like it though..but this year, i do like chinese new year this year but the year itself, i dunno..a bit tiring..hehe...haih..nevermind..will get on with it. anyway, whether i like it or not, it will still go on right? so, might as well make it a HAPPY, PROPEROUS [sort of] & FUN new year... :) have a good year, everybody.. ja ne!

~*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!

little bursts of happiness^^
eheheheheheh...sorry, i just had to start out by laughing...^^ it's a happy day cause today is the last day of my exams and my exams are over! yeah!! ^______________^ eventhough today was just the last day, there was already a party happening..not really to celebrate the end of the exams, though..but to celebrate chelle-chan's birthday! happy birthday, chelle! hope you liked the surprise! ^^
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..
okay, now the exams are over, i shall party and do all the stuff i couldn't because of exams! muahahaah! ja!

My #1 result for the SelectSmart.com selector, Which Shaman King character are you most like?, is

Which Shaman King Character are you most like?

yay! i'm like Yoh! ^^

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!

happy happy holiday..!
SMiLe! ^.^ hehe...am talking to chelle on the phone now while wondering what to say..eheheh...oh right, HAPPY HOLIDAYS! belated actually..lol..to those i didn't wish happy holidays, well, here it is...^^
so far, for the past three days i've been watching tv, catching up on animes, and borrowed chinese series'...going online, playing the piano and [unfortunately] doing a lil studying -_-' not sure i'm making much progress though..but i'm trying!! T_T and this is really stupid but, i finally understood how to do some of the add maths questions in tuition last monday! ^^ hehe..even tihs kind of things make me happy..lol..

signing off now, sayonara!

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!
