Lazy Friday

Since I quit add maths tuition, pretty much every Friday has been lazy. Today is no exception. Mummy and I went to Tesco to get my hair cut and to get some groceries. While waiting for the bus at the KJ bus station on the way home, I noticed this lady sitting next to me. When I turned around, she was staring at me, scowling!

Raising one eyebrow, I wondered if I was doing anything improper. Looking around and checking my hair, I concluded that everything was alright and decided that the lady probably wasn't a nice one, then went back to staring into space waiting for the stupid bus driver.

After a while, the same lady came over to my mom, and gave us her ticket, explaining that she had mistakenly bought it, forgetting that she could use her card. Surprised by her kind gesture, I mentally scolded myself for prejudging her as not being nice, asking myself why I'm so quick to judge people without knowing them first. Mentally, I apologised to the woman, i know she can't hear me, but just to appease my conscience, I apologised.

Then, as I turned around again, I noticed she was staring right at me, with the same scowl!! I quickly looked away, thinking WhyWhyWhy is she staring at me like that!! I was seriously freaked out and till now, I still don't know what I did wrong. Weird woman!!

Anyway, I've finished The Warrior Heir, maybe I'll post a synopsis, but I'm too lazy to do it right now. *sigh* Oh, just remembered, I'm gonna be the emcee for SMK Tropz high school prom!! Haha Thanks goes to Karina, who gave it up, and Sook Ting, who recommended me. Hope I'll do good!! Oh, and I'm working on a short story to send to The Star newspaper.
Personal motivation: Self-Satisfaction and the 100 ringgit they're paying...hehe (it all comes down to money anyway). Hope it turns out well and I'll get it published. Been meaning to write more so maybe this'll serve as motivation.

Speaking bout lazy, I'm gonna go sleep, or I'll be dead for tonight's tuition.

Happy Birthday ChuinChuin!!

Haha. Seriously happy birthday. Today hasn't been a dull day, so many events! Went to school early morning all pumped up because today's the day we've been waiting for. HuiChuin's B'day!! Haha

Karina, Wee Vien, Cynthia, Sook Ting and I have been planning for so long to get HuiChuin's special present(hope you like it). Here's how it all started:

Morning (before class starts): The five of us gathered in 5B waiting for Karina to arrive with the last piece. When she arrived, we decided not to wrap it because we were too lazy but at the same time we didn't want him to know what it was beforehand. Hence, we double wrapped it with plastic bags then put it into a paperbag.

After "Wrapping": After we were satisfied, we were ready to give the lucky birthday boy his special present...And then we found out Jia Hui wasn't there! Jia Hui, oh, Jia Hui. She specifically asked us to wait for her as she too wanted to see his reaction.

Hence we waited for recess. After moral period, Jia Hui was sent to delay HuiChuin from going down to the canteen, while we waited for Sook Ting to come back from class.

Not long after, with the present in hand, we ambushed the birthday boy singing "happy birthday to you~~". He quickly blushed and hurried into the class (pai seh). After finished singing, we forced him to open his present.

He slowly took out the black bag and peeled it off. Then the next. And then...He pulled out the box slowly... And turned around blushing and swearing at the same time. That's about when we burst out laughing. HuiChuin, HuiChuin. He turned as red as a tomato!!

Then he proceeded to take out the present piece by piece, admiring the beautiful decorations we drew on. There were so many colours! Red, Blue, green!! LOL

If you still don't know what it is. Yes, it was underwear. Shall refrain from posting pictures so as to spare HuiChuin from further embarrassment.

Haiz...Then physics!! Pn. Hani, our dear, pregnant, emotional physics teacher. Refused to let us do our presentation the next lesson. Because Yee Ling forgot to bring her pen-drive (sorry if I was cold). But we did the best we could, hope the class understood what we were talking about.

Came home and found out that my School Acheiver Scholarship Award has been accepted!!! ARGGGHH!! Now I have to go for an interview, which I'm not looking forward to. I totally, absolutely, did not expect this. I wrote my essay simply, thinking I wouldn't get it. And now...
WOW!! Speechless. Pray that God leads me through this, I definitely won't go away empty handed, so I give this to You, God. Hope I glorify Your Name with this.

Anyway, eventful day, lol.

High School Drama?

Day 6384...

So much drama, so much hurt(?), so much angst. Such is my mundane life. Seriously people, get over yourselves. Right now, Lord, all I want is to get out of this sucky school.

Woke up today in song, and went to school cheerfully. Until morning assembly happened. Students of SMK Tropicana, the worst school ever, were made to stand in the rain while breathing in insecticide by the gallons.

Pn. Right Hand, knew that MBPJ was gonna fog our school's compound, but still insisted our presence downstairs. Somemore can warn us, don't move around too much, cause if you move around you'll breathe in more. DUDE!! The point is to not breathe it in at all!!

Pn. Big-Butt-Cause-That's-Where-My-Brain-Is insisted that we kept quiet cause if we make more noise, we're not gonna get to go back to class...WTH!! Yeah, sure, kill us all, no more problems!!SWT

Got to class, face drama again!

But as always, HuiChuin managed to lift my spirits, even if just a little bit. HuiChuin, I hope you don't change at all.

But thank The Lord, I managed to persuade dear daddy to get the first book- The Warrior Heir for me. Thanks daddy, Love you!!Now I'm sore all over due to lack of sleep. Been staying up all night reading.

That 'bout sums it up. Love my shmoops, hope you find a job soon. Want to complain to you 'bout stuff. That's 'bout all I miss you for. *MUAXX*

Anyway, stupidest comment of the day : "Pn. Right Hand: ' Don't worry, a little bit of rain won't kill you.'"
No Pn.Right Hand, the insecticide will do the job. Thankyouverymuch!!

Moral of the story: High School Drama...PSHHHHTTT. Nothanks

I want more!!

Now enough drama, 'cause I promised myself I would write a synopsis of "The Wizard Heir" for anyone who cares (warning: spoilers ahead)

Seph, short for Joseph, is 16 and has been to one exclusive private school to another for the past few months. Not because he's a problematic kid, but because of the trail of magical disasters that follow in his wake. Namely, flying sheep, and massive fires.

Seph is a wizard, a powerful one, and his powers are out of control. After causing a tragic fire at a party, Seph is sent to the Havens, a secluded boys' school, where the headmaster, Gregory Leicester is a wizard planning to use his students' powers for his own wicked plans. He does this by linking with his wizard students, through an old magic ritual, allowing himself to utilize their powers, and thus making him a very powerful wizard.

After having refused to link with Leicester, Seph is tortured through nightmares conjured by Leicester. Seph then meets Jason, the other lone student that refused to help Leicester. The two boys help each other teach themselves magic until one day Leicester finds the two of them together. Seeing no other way out, Jason Haley, hops the fence and begins his journey to find the Dragon, a political figure who's aim is to foil Leicester's plans.

Desperate, Seph breaks into Leicesters' office and sends an e-mail to his lawyers office, in hopes that they would break him out of the Havens. After having found out about the e-mail, Leicester summons Seph to his office and tortures him physically. In the midst of this chaos, Linda Downey, Seph's guardian(who turns out to be his mother and the Dragon), appears and demands Leicester lets Seph go, which he does reluctantly.

Seph relished his newfound freedom, even though he has to stay in the small town of Trinity, Ohio. (Seph dislikes small towns). There he meets, Jack, his cousin, Ellen, Jack's girlfriend, many many other Wier (people with magic), and Madison Moss, an elicitor, who literally sucks magic out of people.

After a series of "fights" with Leicester and his unwilling henchmen, Seph is finally free after he and Jason with the help of Madison kills Leicester by throwing a large stone onto his head. (albeit very unimaginative of them, but what the heck, as long as he dies)

Personal favourite quotes:
"'So. What's the secret of great kissing, Seph?' Jack asked. 'Is it technique, duration, intensity, or power?'
Seph sighed theatrically. 'Oh, all right, Jack. I'll kiss you. But just this once.'"

"She went to run away, but he pulled her toward him and kissed her on her forehead. 'For luck,' He said.
She crossed the yard, hoping she was the kind of girl whose luck could be improved by kisses"

"They smashed the stone down on Leicester's head. His heels drummed on the pavement for a long minute, and then he went still."

Oh, and I can't wait to read the first book, about Jackson Swift!! LOL
Hope this is even readable. XD

Ciaozzzzzz~

This Again?

Yes. This again. Maybe I should have been more specific. I'm sorry if I've offended anyone, and maybe I've been very harsh but this is my blog. And this is where I express my feelings, honestly this is what I felt, and what I've personally been through. It may not be exactly the truth, so please anyone who's reading, this is just my side, my version of what happened. To be fair, people in 5A are generally nice people, with a few exceptions, as with any group of people.

Yes, I know, I should have asked if you guys were planning anything. Yes, maybe I should have taken initiative, I apologise. Kin Kit and Karina, when I wrote that, I didn't have you guys in mind. I honestly hope I didn't hurt your feelings in any way cause that's not my intention. I hope we'll forget that and allow our friendship to grow.

Anyway, I've finished the book- The Wizard Heir!! It's a really good book, to me at least, wouldn't know 'bout anyone else. Can't wait to get the first one because it's about my favourite character!! XD

~Ciozzz~

Holidays

Fourth day of the one week holidays and I've not even completed my add maths project!! How?!! Tambah lagi two sejarah SPM sets, chemistry, and Sejarah notes!! T.T

But I've watched Wall - e!! Super funny movie, great for the whole family. I love the way he communicates with the people and the other robots even though he can't speak.

Bought a new book, and it turns out to be the second book of a trilogy...==; But luckily for me it stands on it's own as well. Story's about a boy who turns out to be a wizard and yada yada yada.


The book.

Also caught a stray butterfly that flew into my house, took some pictures, examined it(bio student wei!!XD), and then let it go again, (because I'm a nice person).




Don't know whether you can see it, but it's white with brown stripes, very beautiful, I've never seen one like that before.

And that's all I've been doing the whole holidays (wasting time) XD

Duurrrective?
Classified!

So in an attempt to spice things up a little, I decided to upload a few random picture that I took last night in my small small room.

NS Craze

Today began truly with a bang. As every form-fiver knows, the National Service list has been constructed and recently been put out. And with much anticipation, and in some cases- fear, probably every 17 year old has checked, double checked and even triple checked(me) to find out if they've been enlisted for this program. This morning, Aqillah, was in total shock as she received the dreaded news that she'd indeed been picked! I truly sympathize with her, as I too dread going for NS. Other classmates who were chosen so far includes Cynthia, Naquiyah, Wen Kai, Audrey, Yee Ling, and Shirren. (If I missed anybody, I'm sorry.) Although there's been much debate but no proof whatsoever, there seems to be a pattern or maybe we're just imagining it. But apparently, every family is supposed to have one child go through NS, although there are some exemptions, namely Kin Kit, Jin Sam, and Christine, as far as I know. If this theory is truly true, then for me, there would be no reason that I wouldn't be picked. My sister having been passed on, and my brother being six years younger than me, the timing would be just right for me to be chosen! Having said that, I am now mentally preparing myself...hehe...but after coming home and thinking about it. I find it's not so bad, because according to various sources, things are more lenient for us girls at camp. And if you think of it as a long term camp, it's really not so bad. In fact, the only thing I'm really worried about is the physical activities, which would definitely be torture for someone as unfit as I am. Especially for us girls, when it is that time of the month, for me I would be temporarily paralyzed. But other than that, I think it would be nice to experience new things, a change in my mundane lifestyle right now wouldn't be so bad...But, of course before I take the plunge, I think I might wanna do some research and find out more, plus consult with my parents. But right now, this decision, I commit to God, and if He calls me to go, I will.

I just realise, most of my posts are quite long...Wonder why...Am I that cheong hei? lol better stop here. Enough grandmother stories...

Fun At The Expense Of Hui Chuin's Itchiness

Hui Chuin, Hui Chuin, forever the class clown. Having caught a very high fever last week, Hui Chuin, the silliest, craziest, wackiest boy in class developed a rash all over his body including, according to him (as I wouldn't have the courage to check) on his "manliness". During the afternoon, when it was kinda hot, his rash started to itch badly on his chest, legs and back. Wanting to help Fook Hoy (sitting next to him), decided to poor water down his back (and then proceed to finish the water and use empty bottles as super large and irregularly shaped boobs). As Yee Ling and I were laughing our heads off Hui Chuin's mutilation of "Prickly Heat"( he interpreted it as crik crik crik) and his expression when she again suggested using "Tacoma Talcum", Audrey, our beloved class monitor joined in the fun. (This is where it all really starts)- When Hui Chuin was explaining to Audrey what had happened to him, Fook Hoy decided to look into Hui Chuin's sleeve, apparently to inspect his underarms (?) and Hui Chuin of course gets angry and whacks Fook Hoy across his head. Fook Hoy gets up in that what?-you-wanna-fight-is-it?- stance, and causes Hui Chuin to lose his balance. Imbalance Hui Chuin (not that he usually isn't imbalanced already), falls backwards into the chair with such a force that he takes the chair with him!! And all of us start laughing like mad people again, as Hui Chuin sits on the floor with one hand on the table, another on Mira's chair and both legs up... And it doesn't end here. This all happened during the interval between maths and bio periods, hence we were supposed to go to the lab for our lessons. As I exited the class, the first thing I saw was Hui Chuin relieving his itchiness against the corridor wall.. And just after I'd stopped laughing, Yee Ling came out, and started laughing again!! And guess what, the both of us started laughing like hyenas again...until we were literally out of breath.

But alas, our fun was not to last, apparently someone in our class didn't like that we were having so much fun. I saw her dirty looks as we were laughing. I'm not really sure what her problem is 'cause we were just laughing. If you don't wanna join in the fun, don't spoil it either. What was with that are-you-stupid-looks? Does it bother you? What?You jealous or something? And when we were outside (still laughing), she asked why were we laughing?, and when someone asks a question, naturally you answer lah... And in the midst of answering, she just walked away without a word, leaving me to wonder if I did anything to offend her. Of course this is just my opinion, maybe she was just asking a rhetoric question, and didn't in any way mean to be rude. And maybe that wasn't a dirty look, maybe that was just how her face was made....lol...but anyhow, I'm not gonna let her ruin my fun lah... Sorry if I offended anyone, really, this is just what I experienced.

With that, I'm gonna go to bed. 'nite bloggie~

Looking Inside

The first time I stay up this late chatting with people, and something suddenly strikes me- all it takes is a simple conversation to get you going. Thinking about the past and the present, it feels like I've changed a lot, not so much on the outside as much as the inside. But makes you wonder, have I changed for the better or for worse? To me, there's been a significant change in me since last year itself. My serious mood for one has dwindled and I seem to be lazier and more playful. (and lamer) But I'm not the only one that has changed...To me, I feel, recently there's been a change in the whole dynamics of the class itself...What has changed since the beginning of the year? Aren't we all the same people...In just two weeks a whole transformation has taken place. Following Rui Zhi's description of my class- 5A, is more or less split into three groups, the Malays, The Chinese, and The Oddballs. Not because we're odd but because we're originally from different classes, having "upgraded" ourselves into the first class. Last year, I was hidden away in a corner, never having ventured out, I stuck to my books, in many ways, I was a fly on the wall. This year things changed when two of the wackiest, lamest, more "in" guys sat behind my partner and I. And it was in this way that we became more laid back. Having grown quite fond of them (who isn't?), I concluded that I was wrong about these guys, finding that even though they can be quite childish they too have a serious side. I found that they were fun to be with and even sometimes can be quite sweet. I had lots of fun getting to know my classmates better, forging new relationships, and quite enjoying it too. Until recently, certain events have opened my eyes to reality. That even though I knew them, laughed with them, lamed with them, I'm still on the outside. Why is this so? The first I noticed this was during the double celebrations of their birthdays. There was a party going on and much ado about it too. But sadly, apparently, I was not to be invited. Not to be thick-skinned. I don't mind that I was forgotten that bout. But in the next two months or so, there was another birthday and another party after school in our class. And guess what, I wasn't notified about it either! And I was quite close to the birthday girl too. But that's not what grips me the most, it was their appalling attitude when I suggested that we ask another birthday girl from the next class to celebrate with us, or to even offer her a slice of the pizza they ordered as a courtesy. They just shrugged my appeal off without a word...Feeling insulted, I just left the room. What's with this attitude? It's not like we don't know her? It's not like we're all selfish people right? I understand they sprang for the food themselves, I don't mind not being asked earlier if I wanted to pitch in as well, I don't mind not being asked to share the food, but why can't they be more courteous about it? And another time was a hospitality race organized by one of the colleges. Only three groups of three were allowed for each school and all nine places were occupied by this clique... Coming back to school with red faces all around, we could tell they had a lot of fun. Yet, the joy is in the giving, not the receiving? Apparently not, cause no one in their group thought of letting the rest of us maybe have a little slice of the fun they had. Because no one there thought it might be okay if only three of them went, allowing spaces for students from other classes to go and learn as well. There are many other similiar instances as well, the "lost in bermuda" thing, even today when Yee Ling copied stuff onto the blackboard, even in tuition sometimes...Are we all really that selfish? Are we all so involved only in our interest that we oust others because they weren't with us since the beginning? So we only think of others when we need them or when it's convenient for us? Why are we all so eager to show off our dirty looks behind each others backs without thinking that maybe their doing just the same thing and all it takes to stop the cycle is if we stop first? Having said that, I'm really disappointed in some of my "relationships" and hope they get better before they get worse. Pray to God that SPM will pass soon enough so I can move on to college and maybe gain more true friends.
