Crossing the line(s)

  I feel so horrible these few days, it's like my insides are starting to rot, okay, too much information. I'm like, feeling guilty and annoyed and mad all at the same time. Ugh, you cannot do this okay! I never agreed to anything, you cannot do this! Nilai kesederhanaan and nilai keterlaluan, know the difference! Okay, I'm done ranting... excuse me...

A is for Awful, B is for Bad, C is for Catastrophic

Let's see... Here are my test results:


Chinese     : Terrible
English      : Disappointing
Maths       : Disastrous
Biology     : Horrible
Physics     : Depressing
Sejarah      : Dismal

  I guess that about sums it up... In conclusion, I did utterly horribly terribly disappointingly disastrously horribly depressingly and dismally. But I STILL haven't took my BM and Chemistry exam, I haven't even finished studying for them, I'm doomed, DOOMED I SAY!

  On the good side, it finally rained today. The air was getting so polluted that I thought I was lost for a second there. Bush fires were spreading like mushrooms, even at night (what...). 

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

What I learned in holiday tuition English class:

One. 'Skimming' and 'scanning' sound similar

Two. 'Vegetable' and 'fish' sound almost the same

Three. A swallow DOES NOT make a summer

Four. If you do not get enough oxygen, you WILL go to hell

Five. 'Helmet' and 'hermit' is pronounced exactly the same

How useful... I've never really seen English from this perspective

  I'm gonna go for camp tomorrow, which I am totally unprepared for. I've got bunch of work just dying to get done, stuff to memorize, files to organize and that's not all. I'm completely freaking out and panicking! What's worse, I can't feel my nose, I don't even know if it's still there, wait, it's still on my face, I checked. This is so horrible, a running nose and a heavy head. Just great, so surreal...

π Day!

'Modular house and cabin for sale'

-Means: Do you want to buy a container to live in?

   Yess!! I watched Alice in Wonderland yesterday!! And it was great!! The Mad Hatter was totally mad and the March Hare is even madder (is that even a word...)! Haha, okay, I'm just too excited. My group of 8 people just suddenly shrunk to 2 people since MOST of them couldn't come but what the heck, it was still really fun. 

  Due to distance restrictions, we had to go to CP to watch it, which by the way, was not a good idea. The cinema was freakin crowded, it was like Christmas all over again. There were long queues at every counter but the longest queue has got to be in the toilet, haha. I was lucky to be able to watch the movie in hall 8, which is the newest and largest hall. Unfortunately, it was a full house and I had to sit next to a bunch of hooligans who apparently would squeal over the sight of a rabbit. Pity them... they must never have seen a rabbit before...*sigh* 

  I'm so totally in love with Alice's hair, it's so pretty and wavy and curly all at the same time. The movie was really interesting to watch, it was filled with strange and eccentric characters, namely the White Queen, the March Hare, the Mad Hatter and so on. Well, if you watched it then you'll get it. I think the movie was 1 hour and 45 minutes long, long enough to not be a rip-off, haha. One thing about the movie was the background scenes that look reallyyy cool, I wonder how they did it. All in, Alice in Wonderland is utterly great!

  Next up, Toy Story 3, Remember Me (I AM NOT A FAN OF ROBERT PATTINSON), Salt, Prince of Persia, LOVELY BONES and uhhh... more (not in chronological order XD).

HAPPY PI DAY!  HAVE SOME PIE! Haha

Exam fever, catch it!

Nope, it's -EXAM SEASON-

Extremely stressed out students, hair pulling and excessive screaming are normal sights during the exam season. Do not be alarmed.

  Finally! Tomorrow will be the last day of the 1st mid term exams! And as usual, the *smart* faculty arranged moral to be the last subject, yeap, the same *smart* faculty that arranged biology and sejarah to be tested on the same day. Well, at least most of the stress is gone but then.... I still haven't took the exams for chemistry and BM... oh boohoo~ Guess I'm gonna have to spend my holidays studying for it, like I'm not busy enough... But I made the choice to postpone the exams so... hahaha, ironic. 

 So.... Tomorrow will be a Friday, the last Friday before the holidays, the very Friday which is the deadline for the SPM registration. Gosh, I still haven't made my choice for the two darned extra subjects! The clock is ticking and I gotta decide fast! Like what Homer Simpson would say: D'oh!

The Chronicles of an Optimist

  Yesterday was a great day! I had BM penilaian yesterday, so I was up studying on Tuesday night. I went to bed at 11pm but somehow I woke up at 2am. Not wanting to waste time (yeah right...), I studied a little bit of the BM short story stuff. I was like, really sleepy, so I couldn't get much of the info into my brain. At least I got something into my head, I should be thankful for that. On the day of the penilaian, which is yesterday actually, I technically studied all morning but then I realized I haven't studied any of those (darned) peribahasa. And so... there I go walking from class to class asking everyone I know about the peribahasa that we need to study. Well, nobody knew... but at least I don't have to study for it anymore since I don't know what to read. Conclusively, the test was really hard but on the bright side, I'm lucky that I could even answer some of the questions. I had a mini heart attack when I looked at my watch and mistook the time as 1.45pm (the test ends at 1.50pm and I've only done half of the paper at that moment) when it was only 12.45pm, well, at least there's actually an hour left. I think I'm gonna pass this test *twitching*


Yeah right........ I'm obviously not an optimist

If an optimist had his left arm chewed off by an alligator, he might say, in a pleasant and hopeful voice, "Well, this isn't too bad.  I don't have my left arm anymore, but at least nobody will ever ask me whether I am right-handed or left-handed," but most of us would say something more along the lines of "Aaaaah! My arm! My arm!"

Book the Fourth

To Beatrice - 

My love flew like a butterfly

Until death swooped down like a bat

As the poet Emma Montana McElroy once said;

"That's the end of that."

Book the Third

To Beatrice - 

I would much prefer it if you were alive and well

(No content available =[  )

Book the Second

To Beatrice - 

My love for you shall live forever

You, however, did not

  Guess what, I bought a guitar today. Now I have another device and medium to express my tone-deafness(tm) and also to torment and inflict injury upon those who cross my bad-side. 


  But on another note, there goes my funds that I was supposed to use to get Lemony Snicket's Unauthorized Biography because I exceeded my budget for my Very Fretful Device (pun intended). Goodbye, I'll get my hands on that Lemony Snicket's Very Fascinating Directory (by that I mean the Unauthorized Biography) soon enough... *sob* 

  I'm sort of behind schedule (for reasons unspecified), so time for some random posts!


(If you don't get what I just typed, then just ignore it and go have a Very Fun Day or in my case, a Volatile Fireworks Display)

Book the First

To Beatrice -

Darling, dearest, dead

  Happy Chap Goh Mei everyone! (Though I don't really know what Chap Goh Mei is for). While everyone might be having a decent, if not horrible, day, I just had an utterly annoying day. 

  For starters, the electricity was cut off the whole day (just morning and afternoon actually, but nonetheless...) since the SESB just had to change the cables on the one day I'm completely free. Ironically, my physics teacher was just talking the other day about how the workers in other countries could change their electric cables without shutting down the power for the whole district by wearing some sort of special protective cage-like suit, nice going. 

  Now I'm typing this in the middle of a war zone. Stuff are randomly exploding all around me and I think I just heard a machine gun go off. What a dismal situation. There's like loud exploding sounds, short and brief exploding sounds, crescendo-ing exploding sounds, machine gun shooting sounds (I wonder...), car alarms, people screaming, people laughing, people screaming at laughing people or vice versa, the sound of my SCREAMING brain etc.

  Yay! Apparently, I think they just signed a peace treaty. Note to self - if I ever can drive, never stay home after dinner on Chap Goh Mei.

Moving images with different scenes and sound depicting a story

  Clarinet outing! I went to watch Percy Jackson last Saturday with the whole clarinet section. Whee! It was so totally good, great. We couldn't fit into a single row at the cinema, haha. Darn cinema. Well, it was really fun though. We even saw Lady Gaga in the movie, haha, actually it was Medusa but she was wearing black glasses like on Lady Gaga's The Fame album cover and was covered in a black coat or probably a cloak, completed with a pair of black boots (if I remember clearly...). But nonetheless, it was really funny and in the next scene, poker face started playing in the background, oh the irony... I was like snickering and giggling and laughing and suppressing laughter all at the same time, haha. I have finally realized that I MUST GET THE PERCY JACKSON BOOKS!

  I really should kick the habit of typing everything in drafts then not posting them for ages and eons. And this is my first step! Hahaha

  I can't wait for March to arrive and the first mid terms to end and bring me a shower of awesome movies to watch! Alice in Wonderland is gonna be released on the 18th of March, which I wouldn't miss for anything in the world, I'd die if I don't watch it. And it just gets better, The Lovely Bones is also hitting the screens next month! Not sure about the date though... Yay, The Lovely Bones is finally coming to the screens in town! The book was so totally awesome, I couldn't put it down once I started, I even read it in a moving vehicle, which is something I don't usually do since I have a bad case of motion sickness. This is the beginning of a movie mania. Haha

  That's about all I can think of at the present moment, I might think of something else to write 5 seconds later... Hmmm...

The 16th of February

-Did I just break you? Well, I heard something breaking... Sorry about that =] - 

  I went to Crystal's house for dinner just now, or you could say it was yesterday. I was 10 seconds late for ehem... something I would rather not see, haha. We played Dare or Dare (do I have a choice?), extreme version but still a little toned down of course. One of the tasks was to spread peanut butter on one of the victim's armpit and jelly on the other. Here come the gross part, next get two pieces of bread and wipe it off and EAT the sandwich, gross much... Haha, but of course sensible people wouldn't do that and we *are* sensible people (I think). There were lots of weird and gross tasks, like lick someone's ear, lick someone's whole face etc. Haha.

  Then we had dinner and Tham was given the task to eat some condiment something from the kitchen something something, in short, he was supposed to eat something raw in the kitchen. But lucky Tham, there was a bowl of lettuce on the table, haha. And we played Wii till everyone went home.


(Okay... this post was once again delayed because I'm too lazy to click the Publish Post button. I typed this on 16/02/2010, 12am)

Paris Hilton's BFF is a loser

Haha, okay, maybe the title seems a little overrated but it's soo true... 

  I was watching Paris Hilton's My New BFF when a sudden thought occurred to me: I hate this show. It's such a wrong show, but what can you expect, she's Paris Hilton. Why should you compete to be someone's best friend, that's so wrong. Well, the usual line - Get a life. Haha

The sun still shines, unfortunately

Wiping off the layers of dust...

On the to sports day! Last Thursday and Friday was the sports day heats, and I could definitely feel the heat, literally.

Day One

  As usual, the bazaar was held on the first day, and I really must say that the stalls...... have been decreasing over the years. I couldn't finish spending my money, haha, so I gave it away it Sabina. Clinton volunteered to pick up rubbish on that day and he found like, 20 something pieces of the lucky draw coupons. So he went to exchange it and we were standing right below the stage during the lucky draw session, it looked pretty funny, just like those people who bet at the horse racing. Crystal assigned herself to be in charge of the 'fish fishing with tissue' game (more like attempted murder of the fish by choking with tissue, water deprivation and lack of privacy and personal space). You're supposed to catch a fish using your extremely fragile tissue net (for reasons I don't think I will understand). Oh, the SPCA will be mad at this, they will be very very mad...

Day Two

  No bazaar today, not interested in watching the events, in conclusion - nothing to do. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I joined the house dancing this year (I still don't get why I did that...). I burned my feet while running all the way from the 3rd floor of the CCA building to the volleyball court under the scorching 9am sun, barefooted. Note to self - Concrete can double as a teppan table during the day. I went to KK Box in the afternoon with some friends and did many stupid things along the way while waiting for the student promotion at 2pm. We passed through Signature while going to KK Box and found some *awesome* masks of Power Rangers and those 'superheroes' that look like flies. So we took pictures wearing them, hahaha. (Refer to Crystal's post, haha) We screamed our lungs and stomachs and whatever that is inside, out at KK Box. We tried to sing MJ's The way you make me feel and failed... One, MJ's songs are really hard to sing, haha, and two, they replaced the music video with a Malaysian version. It was so totally gross, there's this weird freaky girl wearing a BRIGHT pink singlet cat-walking around, for like, the entire length of the song. Now, who could stand watching that... haha. When we left, there's yet another weird guy at the counter who kept screaming, yes, screaming thank you to us. He kept yelling louder when we ignored him, what gives... Get a life (that is seriously my new catchphrase, haha, I kept saying it to everyone lately...)


Day Three


  OH NO!!!! I TYPED THIS PART ALREADY!!! AND NOW IT'S GONE!!! IS THIS SOME SORT OF TEST??!! WHAT HAPPENED TO DAY THREE?! I EVEN SAVED IT TWICE! DARN IT!! I CLICKED PUBLISH AND THEY TOLD ME 'SORRY, WE ARE UNABLE TO PROCESS YOUR REQUEST' GAH!!! THIS IS SO NOT FUNNY!! *deep breathing exercises* Due to a technical problem, anyone who would want to know what happened is gonna have to use your imagination. Thank you.

I'm sorry, it didn't make it

Time to clean out the spiderwebs in here... 

-Viewer discretion is advised if you have a great imagination-

  Last Tuesday was the fateful Pig's Heart Dissection Day, I know it was THAT long ago but... oh well, I'm a 'slow' person. If I were to describe the dissection, I would use the words disturbing and disgusting... Gosh, I'm never gonna cut anything up like that anymore, not that I did. Thanks to my group having all guys except me, I didn't have to do any of the loathsome work of cutting, squeezing, poking and digging blood clots out. Okay, I can't take it anymore, on to the next post...

Idiocy

Idiocy - Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups

 The sports day is coming soon, next next week I think... Yay! Tomorrow is the cross country race, for the first time in 4 years! I'm gonna walk through it at a speed of 1 step per second!

The Burn

  So, school has started 4 days ago and I have only one thing to say about it...

Feel The Burn!!! 

Come to the dark side, we have cookies!

  I am back from the dark side! (I was supposed to say this 6 days ago, but I faced some 'technical' difficulties...) Now I am horribly homesick, no, not the I-miss-home kind of homesick, but the I-am-at-home-feeling-sick kind. I went to KL for a week on the 17th of December with my school band (which explains why I am back), it was really fun though tiring and involved lots of bad weather and horrible cleanliness topped with perpetual haze. I wouldn't want to blog about the whole trip bit by bit, so I'll just blog about some interesting stuff.

  We had 4 music exchange programs during the first 3 days. One memorable thing was that I met a guy who looked like Vicky's brother at the Confucian Private Secondary School (the school which we were also staying at), haha, he was younger though.


  We went shopping after all our official business was done, haha. I went to Times Square on the 19th. They had a Borders outlet there! It was so big and there's even a Starbucks in there! But unfortunately I didn't have much time to walk around and frolic so I just walked past it in favor of getting my dinner! I can't believe I just walked past a huge bookstore without even peeking past the windows... That night we went to the stadium (don't know the name... XD) to watch the World Marching Band Competition 2009. It was boring at first but then it got really awesome, haha. We didn't manage to watch it till the end because it was getting really late. That competition was totally an eye opener, I never expected Malaysia to be that good and is actually in the run for the top 3 spots. Hah...

  

  We went to KLCC on the 20th (?), I think it was the 20th... I went to Kinokuniya there, and it was HUGE! Books as far eye can see... They mostly sold novels and fictions and almost every genre you could imagine, except for textbooks and school reference books. I picked up 4 books there but unfortunately the line at the cashier was extremely long and I didn't have time to wait. Darn! Luckily, I got the chance to go back to Times Square and actually have the chance to enter Borders! My friends and I spent most of our time there, just sitting and reading. I bought 2 books there - The Lovely Bones and The Graveyard Book... If I had more financial support I would have bought a pile of books...

  Next we went to Genting Highlands on the 21st and 22nd. It was freaking cold up there, sometimes I could even see my breath (not my own breath actually, I saw other people's breath since I didn't know how to do it, haha). The whole place was covered in fog most of the time and it was really windy outside. We rode the cable car (gondola actually) to go up to Genting Highlands since our bus couldn't go up. We waited for hours at the cable car station, everyone was queued in an 'S' shape, haha.  I spent my time (window) shopping at Genting, I didn't have the guts to go on any thrill rides and I didn't have the patience to go on kiddie rides. Let's just say that the hotel there is 'not the best option'.

  We went to Mid Valley and Pavilion on the 22nd. I only got the chance to have lunch at Mid Valley, again, didn't have time to look around. Frankly I must say that I totally hate Pavilion. It's absolutely the place for those richest of the rich, I couldn't even get dinner without checking my wallet twice. Almost everything there has a 3-digit price tag...

  That's about it for my trip. On the flight back, I still didn't get a window seat. But I was really tired so I didn't bother to change seats...

Merry Very Belated Christmas everyone! And Happy Second-To-Last Day of 2009!

Abnormality test

  I found this today while going through random websites, haha. Somehow, I'd have to say credits go to alfred (I don't know alfred is, that was what the author wrote).

You just thought about a red hammer , didn't you?

If this is not your answer, you are among 2% of people who have a
different, if not abnormal, mind.

98% of the folks would answer a red hammer while doing this exercise.


  Haha, I though of a green spanner (though I've never seen a spanner that is green...)

Fifty! Fifty passages of 'diligence'!

  This is my 50th post! Cool! I didn't think I would last this long, let's sing a song to celebrate! Hahaha... Be prepared, this is gonna be a long post.

I will follow him~
Follow him wherever he~ may go

There isn't an ocean too deep

A mountain so high it could keep~
Keep me away~


-The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack

  The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack is a really weird cartoon, so weird I can compare it to the likes of Invader Zim. But I love The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack and also Invader Zim, haha. I guess I have a thing for weird stuff (trust me...). 

Flapjack is so adorable! Hahaha

Gir! Is not useful AT ALL

   Today I went bowling for the first time during this holidays, haha, and I ended up watching A Christmas Carol somehow. It was alright, like the dozens of remakes before it *unintended sarcasm*. The graphics were really good and some parts of the movie kept me at the edge of my seat, mainly because the graphics were so good, the ghosts were scary. Not to mention the sound effect were really creepy! A Christmas Carol is so totally the scariest 3D movie I have ever seen. A funny thing was, when i watched the commercial for it on TV, I actually thought it was made by real life actors and stuff, I did NOT expect that it was 3D... Hahaha... I think I'm going to watch New Moon tomorrow (movie day at most cinemas!). Can't believe I'm actually gonna watch New Moon but what the heck... Haha.

  It's December already, time passes so quick it kinds freaked me out. I'm gonna be in senior 2 next year, which happens to just be next month, which also may or may not be a good thing. I'm getting a real big headache thinking about the future... and beyond... Haha. For once I've really felt the pressure of having a 'plan' for my life... I don't even know if I'm staying for senior 3 yet! Seriously, I gotta make up my mind. Everyone (not exactly) says that I have to decide where I'm gonna go to study and what I'm gonna study and blah blah blah, the usual. If only things were simple like choosing which primary school you're gonna go or choosing a better high school... *sigh* I can't even tell the difference between foundation program and pre-u, or are they the same? GAH! I guess this will be my last 'carefree' holidays...

  The main point is... this is my 50th post! Hahaha...

World domination can wait!
