No Way!

Gomen gomen gomen.....my Internet connection has gone haywire the past few days...and it's like STRESS!! My father had to call the ISP (Internet Service Provider) company but the connection was not resumed until Monday (about 2.00 p.m.). Sorry for the inconvenience! :(

This is one of those days where I'm early for school...but it was past 6.30 a.m. . I slept the whole time waiting for the library to open...as I was too tired to stay awake last night. The AJK Disiplin then bugged me for my duty report...Jing Yan made it even worse! And my homework's not done! Oh no...I'm starting to get confused. There's many things to do! :(

School was OK, I managed to give the gifts to Deborah. She then lent me her poem book. It was nice...and I managed to contribute a poem into it! :)
After school hours, I had to wait for my friend, Ranjidam to finish up cleaning the class. ( I was on duty today too....I threw the rubbish and closed the windows.) Then, I was in the library, waiting for my turn to photostat my stuff. (I couldn't do it during recess!) I had to wait for some time before it was my turn...by the time I've done, I was late for my house practice!! Nobody reminded me of the time...someone should have told me!! I rushed to the changing room...and saw my friend being late too. (Lucky me...I'm not the only one!) I then went to the field..only to find out that our event hasn't started! Haihz....

The house practice this time is the Ujian Tara for all houses. My house, Shirtliff (and I'm proud of it) is supposed to do the 100 metre run and long jump. I couldn't make the cut for the 100 metre run...not mentioning failing to grasp a mark! It seems that only 2 of us have made the cut...and it was just 1 mark each. Saddening, right?
Next, we (the Form 5s) went for the long jump. We had to wait for minutes under the sun...but it felt like we've waited for ages! What's more agonising is that we have to wait until the other house (Prouse house) has finished their session. It was freaky and extremely hot although I was waiting under a giant umbrella with some of my housemates. After some time, finally, our turn came. We prepared ourselves and jumped....one by one...until it was my turn. I passed (meaning: TAK BATAL)! I'm happy enough that I've achieved my feat...and hurt my right leg in the process. Well, I could still go for my second try. I passed that too, but it was just a little bit into the 1 mark point (the 3m point). ARGH!! :(

Tuition time came...and it's the first time in weeks that I could concentrate on what my teacher was teaching. It's a real relief after struggling for a few lessons that I had to leave early. Sigh. What can I do? I couldn't even change my schedule until after Sports Day!!

Well, I'm home, back in my musky little chamber. I still have some komework to settle, so see you! :)

NOTE: To 'The Amazing Race' fans, CBS is going to show its 7th. season next month. Hope the non-ASTRO viewers get to watch this! And guess what? Rob and Amber will be one of the teams in the 7th. season...so it's going to be a BLAST!! :)

CNY's not free and easy.....really!

Oh me, oh my.....

CNY Eve's here and everyone's sitting at theor houses free and easy...but then it's not for me!!

Anyway, I woke up a bit late (about 9.00 a.m.), but then I could only wash my face (without a bath). Guess what I have to do?

Well.......

RENOVATING THE HOUSE!!

Okay, right after the start-ups, I had to paint the whole house from morning 'til evening (this has lasted for 2 days already) with only breakfast and lunch breaks. I felt very, very tired painting the house...not to mention having neck pain in the end! After a whole day's work, my family and I found out that it's only 3/4 done.....there's the living room ceiling and the wall above the balcony door!

What's worse, the tiles were about to crack, so Dad and I had to go patching the cracks at the floor. Luckily it took us not much of our time, so we could continue with our painting. (It seems when the contractor built my house, they didn't do the tilings properly...and the developer was about to get bankrupt....we had to do those on our own!!)

We took a temporary break about 3.30 p.m. After bathing and preparing myself, I went for a Reunion Dinner at Suria KLCC (the shopping centre part of KLCC). We headed for Spring Garden Restaurant at the top floor of Suria KLCC, but then we had to wait for Aunt Suet Chin as Mom promised her to call Dad to take Grandpa up to the restaurant. (Note: Grandpa's on a wheelchair!) I met Aunt Hooi Lee and her son, Dylan (which oddly looks like his father) at Zara's. Next, I went to the other Zara's (there were 2 Zara shops in KLCC) and saw Uncle Tuck Wieng and Hann Lynn. And there was a performance at the Centre Court during that time....using all Chinese musical instruments except a cello! It was great!

My family and I had a parking space at P2 at the shopping centre...it was quite a good lot as it's near the escolator! I went shopping for clothes at Elle..but we didn't have much time as the shop was about to close. Then, we went shopping at Giordano. Dad managed to buy some clothes for himself, I have a red patterned shirt (which was very pretty).....but Mom did not get anything for herself. I feel sad for her....:((. Along our way, we saw that all the shops are closed, so there's nothing much to shop. :(

I was tired waiting after a while, so I went up to the restaurant straight away. I had the chance to get there by lift since there's not many people there. When I reached there, I saw Katrin, Merissa and their family waiting at a room. The waitresses were hurrying us up since they had another customer at 8.30 p.m....but then Aunt Suet Chin haven't turned up yet! A moment later, Uncle Chee Wah (Katrin and Merissa's father) and Dad went down....don't know for what reason...maybe it's something about Grandpa.

So we waited, waited and waited....and Aunt Suet Chin came! With Grandpa, Uncle Chee Wah and Dad! Yee Sang ( a kind of Chinese dish) was ready by that time...and dinner started (without Hann Lynn, Uncle Tuck Wieng and Grandma...they were shopping). Nobody wished each other during Yee Sang...it was quite saddening! At that time, the three of them ( the ones I mention in brackets before this) turned up. I was not really hungry at the dinner anyway, so I didn't eat much. The shark's fin is a little unusual...it is prepared in a different style (if you want to know, ask me and I'll reply). The rice was a little too hard too. (Fortunately, Aunt Suet Chin and Uncle Tuck Wieng could comment about the food at the end of the course, since the former knows the manager very well.)

Halfway through the dinner, I followed Merissa, Katrin and Hann Lynn out for a walk. We were supposed to get to Kinokuniya, but then Merissa (or Merie) decided to go to a telecoms shop since her handphone had not much credit. So we followed her to the shops and couldn't find any. I took a pamphlet on Suria KLCC and found the directory of the centre, so I managed to help her find the nearest shops. However, all was to no avail as both the shops were closed. Sigh.

Katrin and Hann Lynn then decided to head to the washroom. I was surprised that the washrooms were all renovated....and so modernised! Oh gosh...it mesmerised me! Even the taps were arranged differently! WOW! *can't say much here...AAHH!!*

Finally, Merissa and I went to Kinokuniya (Katrin and Hann Lynn went back to the restaurant). We were just about to get in when Mom called and said that we have to return back. Dessert was ready...and it was a bit clear (qing, I mean)...as I had soy bean! It was oishi...(nice to eat...is that the right word?)

Then, it was time to go. Feeling a bit sad, we took Grandma back to her house and then reached home.

Don't think the work was all over....I had to do more tiling. Helped Dad to put white cement on the tiles we worked that day....it was fast! Then, we cleared and cleaned the house as fast as we could before the New Year starts.

5..4..3..2..1..HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!

Well, I've finished what I'm supposed to do for the day before....hope to see you soon!

So sad....SOS!!

Oh no....haven't been here for the past few days and it's like....erm, a big miss. Really big.

Too many incidents happened...I don't where to start...

Tell you later!!

I'm tired. I'm starving to death. I'm as dead as a corpse (well, almost).

This morning, my EST teacher (which happens to be the Penyelaras Ting. 5) gave me something.....creepy.....and totally scary!!

Guess what? It's the SPM enrolment form!!

I had some difficulties completing this form, not to mention that the fees were so EXPENSIVE!! Imagine paying RM10.50 just to sit for a subject......and RM12.00 for some! What's worse, it's the English 1119 paper....we have to pay RM20.50!! And it's a must!! OH NO!!!
Total = RM143.00 minimum (10 subjects)

As usual, the BM teacher went very 'semangat' to give us homework...but luckily I managed to finish it before school was over. I really like my BM teacher by the way, she really makes us think for every question.....on everything!! Kimia was a total bore....we had to 'bentang' straight from the textbook. Physics was interesting...only that teacher didn't like things at the end of the class.....like she said, "Banyak fenomena dekat kelas ini!". Sigh.

House practice went okay.....first was shot put, then the souvenir plannings and the cheer. Shot put was ...um, bad. I couldn't even hold the put properly....and it rolled behind my back! Then, we decided to make badges and necklaces for Sports Day. The theme for the year was dragons...so it's everything dragons! (Makes me remember of Norbert....isn't he cute? :P) At the second attendance, it was the usual norm....some 'taklimats' and stuff. Then, my house competed our cheer with Prouse House. We screamed our voices out....everyone was like very 'semangat'! GO SHIRTLIFF!!

Next, tuition time. Mom told me that she was late for school as there was a massive jam at Jalan Pudu in the morning....out of a very bad accident near the roundabout!!
One car collided with the lamp post.

That's not all....

Just a moment after that, a Kancil drove OVER that car....and landed above it. The next thing she knew, the car BURST INTO FLAMES!! Well, the fire brigade came....and all the cars could only move around 8.30 a.m.

Tuition time came....and I'm feeling dead. Concentration seems to seep away, leaving tiredness and confusion in me....(and I've not taken my lunch!) Easy said, I could not focus on my tuition....and hoped it was over as soon as possible. Then, had to stayback to ask some questions about Add Maths....the teacher also got a bit confused! However, we managed to solve it, thanks to teacher's brilliance! :)

When I headed to dinner from tuition, I had a really good scolding from Mom for being late. It was raining pitter patter outside, not to mention a really massive (well, not as bad as the morning's) traffic jam on the way. I've only managed dinner at 8.20 p.m. The only good thing is....I could get to watch The Amazing Race 6. I feel bad for Adam and Rebecca....getting yielded just for a payback (by Freddy and Kendra). It's even more cruel....as Adam and Rebecca yielded them to help another team a few legs earlier!

Now, I'm back in my little chamber. Halfway through the workloads of the day, I helped Mom to settle some of her school work. Great. At least I could be of help for her.

Summary:

Hey, it's been quite some days since I posted here....gomen!!

Anyway, I have some news to tell:
1. Dad's back! Things will be so much easier with him around....he'll be here until after CNY.
2. I'll be on frog-dissecting on Thursday. Seen the heart (jantung) of a frog....which is still beating!! Some of the Gamma classmates showed us....quite scary. Thinking of it makes me.....scared. Even Ranjit asked me why I was in their group for Bio. (Sigh.)
3. My comp's almost corrupted for now....until I removed both Messengers. I don't know, it seems to be like that, so be it.
4. (This was supposed to be on 13/01, but oh well....) Some prefects stole our table for the Majlis Anugerah PMR....but never informed us! Aren't they the PERFECT THIEVES? I've got a real scolding from Kar Man....and I didn't know about it!! (Jing Yan and I were having recess at that time. Oh no....) Everyone was confused because they were all behind the tables....and near the shelves. How are we supposed to see them? Even the ones who were supposed to be at the counters were behind too!! What had actually happened?
The next thing I knew, the senior prefects returned the table the next day....only when the teachers asked them to. When Kar Man asked them about the people who took the table down that day, they denied knowledge of it....and wanted to leave the blame on us. (I'm involved indirectly, by the way)
LESSON: Forgive, but never forget. (That's what Sharon and Kar Man told us in the morning's gathering on Friday.)
5. Well, my father's only allowing me to use the comp if I have any projects / homework to do OR if Mom needs help on the comp work. Other times: STRICTLY NO!! ( I can only be here rarely....since I've deleted both Messengers too! Sigh...:( )

That's all I can say for now.......see you more offline!!

JYANE!! :)

Nyu....Oh My! >.<

Me = CONFUSED.

Why? Don't ask.

Anyway, here comes Sunday's journal:

I'm late (AGAIN....that seems to be a part of me, right?), but this time, it's for Kasturi. It's a whole four session ordeal....and doesn't seem right.
Back to stuff....reached there at 9.11 a.m. (Emergency 911...hehe)...and thought I've almost lost my student card. By the time I was at the centre, I had to search every part of my tuition bag...and finally found it. (Creep. How was I so silly?!!)
I went for Bio first, thinking that it didn't mind being late there....but then Mr. Fong has started! Oh no! Anyway, class was enjoyable...thanks to Mr. Fong teaching us on how to sit with the correct posture. [The whole class laughed, for your info! :) ] I wondered how the could actually slide down the chair easily....:P
Add Maths was a little cool....as Pengamiran was taught that lesson. I was half awake by the end of the class, not realising that I was slower than my friend next to me. ARGH!!
Then, break time came. Ahhh....meeting with Wye Ee. (At least I wasn't that lonely! Yay!) We chatted until there were only 5 minutes left. I went down to the first floor to see Miss Lynn....and I was lucky enough to meet her right at the door of the teacher's room! The shock was: She actually had a class at the old block on Saturdays. AAAAHHHH!!
(P.S.: Suraya, my companion during English class went home early...as she was bored with the new teacher. It's the same with me too....but then I had to stay! Haihz....)
English went on fine....and finally came Maths. Nothing much to describe...but at least I've learnt a new topic: Penjelmaan. Hmmm....interesting.

I was half dead (or died-ed, as what Suyin would say =___=) by the time I had my lunch. (Mom was in a hurry, actually...so I had to be home by 3.30.)

Finally, I'm back at my musky, little chamber....not to mention messy!! :P

Just now (about 11.00), I had severe confusion. I had problems logging into my Gmail account...in which my friend asked me to check my inbox. Security alerts kept popping at the monitor almost every instance, so I've got fed up and just clicked END TASK.
If you think that's it, it's not. I can't check into my Hotmail too....as my comp experienced JAVA difficulties. And I don't know how to solve this. (Yikes! Why??)

Now....brain exhausted....jyane!! :P

Sunday, January 23, 2005

Okay...just had the time to update here....and don't worry, I'm still conscious! Hehe...:P

I was late (again) for BM tuition...was supposed to reach there by 8.30 a.m., but ended up buying buns and 'kau chi' for breakfast..and reached there 20 minutes later. Take note: 20 MINUTES! (and I'm almost used to it!) Tatabahasa ruled the day (in the Form 4 session)....followed by an explanation on the novel 'Konserto Terakhir' during the Form 5 session (which didn't bore me, amazingly). And I've forgotten to bring my school mag for the teacher to read.... in which I promised to bring last week! Haihz....

After that, there comes Kasturi. Right. I was supposed to be in the 3.00 class (for Sejarah and Fizik), but then Mom did not allow me to take Fizik (physics), so I had to settle for the 12.00 class. Luckily there was no bustling traffic!
When I reached there, I saw Wai Fon waiting at the entrance, with her handphone on. She rushed to me.....asking what class I am in (during that time) and joined in. In the end, the class was OK, only that we were a little cold for sitting under the air-cond...and a little surprised that the girl in front of us was wearing a sleeveless top in the same situation! In the end, when I asked her, she said she was terribly cold! I saw Thangam (my old tuitionmate) there...who was supposed to come on Tuesday. I'm missing my gang....:(

After tuition, we (Mom and I) went to the small coffee shop nearby for lunch....then headed to Chinese Maternity Hospital to see grandpa. (Don't get mistaken....there's a medical centre there!) We were there for about an hour and a quarter....and I slept. Suddenly, my handphone rang.....and Wye Ee's there! :) We got to talk for a while....Suyin included too....and I sort of screamed in the room I was in....and alerted the medical staff there. They thought I needed help.....but in the end, I had to say sorry in front of them. Simply said, I was embarassed during that time...and Mom asked me to get home a few moments later.
(gets red in the face.....)

On our journey home, we went to visit the showhouse of Taman Bukit Segar Jaya. (The second phase has just completed....and the third is at advanced construction stage.) The houses were just OK to me...nothing much....and Mom thought a semi-d would be more like it.

Finally, we headed home. Mom cooked dinner to save money (YAY!)...and it's back to work again.

Well, that's about it....it's nothing much, actually, just filling in for a dull day.

Haha....

This doesn't seem right, does it?

I'm sorry for this....can anyone help?
Well, seriously, I need a new blogskin....it's now looking out of shape. Honestly. Any good sites?

Cheerio! :P

(untitled)

Well, I'm back!

And practically confused.

Beware!! If you're not here for a rant or a confession, don't read on. Otherwise, be prepared!!
Here it goes.....:

How can I start.....

Okay, I'm having this weird attitude that comes once in a while.....and it happens every year!! Especially in 2004.

It started when I couldn't control of whatever I'm talking since kindergarten. If you're there, you would think of me as insane....but I couldn't talk 'til I'm 6!! And I started talking to myself everywhere....everyone said I'm....weird, easy said. Just ask my primary school friends and they'll surely tell that.

However, this year, it started plaguing my memories out too....and drains everything out of me. It started as a normal year....but then someone (you know who you are...:) )suddenly asked for my contacts...and I was the happiest for the first time in years!! But....my brain had sort of....'shut down'....and I started acting crazy towards him....and he sort of avoided me for a while. (Reason: I couldn't afford to start 'to be more than just friends'.....I feel scared that I'll turn out to be a maniac on him.) Well, we're still good friends now.....;)

Then...just now, it happened again. Afternoon......until now. I was walking halfway with my friends to JJ nearby.The next thing I know, Mom called me...and almost gave me a heart attack. I had to pace back to school....and saw Mom's car parked right in front of the guardhouse at school. I didn't know she wouldn't allow me!! At night (which is just now), I couldn't get my feelings out (more precisely, my courage) to actually speak......don't mention being face to face!! ARGH!!

Well, that's at least what happened to me, and have my brain drained out.....but my heart feeling better.

Care for a comment?

Hope to see you soon, ne?

Sigh.....:(

Okay, if you don't want to read junk, don't read below. Otherwise....
BEWARE!!!

Mood: Tired
BGM (Music): Cheers for the Earth - Image 1

No, no, no, no, no!!!
Why does everyone have to be better than me?
It's just so UNFAIR!!!

I couldn't come for practice sessions as I have to take care of Mom.....and the family's financial status is next to nothing!!
Dad's not working.....so he had to withdraw some of his savings every month to care for both of us!!

I was tired......from waking up at 10.00, became late for Kasturi, had a lecture from Mom right after that, then had to wait for past anhour for the next class....and made us stuck in an unnecessary traffic jam.....and it's all my fault!!! :(

Then, I had to pace up and down.....just to make time meet and had a heavy head for dinner.....a very bad one!!
Came for arithmetics practice.....volunteered to.....but then, brain went blank and couldn't even rest. (It's true....:(...)

(Sunday, 28/11/2004)
Tell me, honestly, do I have anything bad about myself?
Real honest.

Note: I don't like lies behind my back.....(backstabbing)


Well, too tired now.....and risking of dropping down class next year. ARGH!!!

-Peace Out!-

Last Journal ------ not exactly!! :P

Day Four:
Okay, I admit that 'setiap pertemuan pasti ada perpisahannya'. Why NOW????!!! :(

This day, I could not wake myself up. Even the rest of us too......'coz it's time to go home. Even Sara slept in a room seperated from us the night before...and dreaded it. At least we woke up at an appropriate time.....more than enough rest for all of us....:)

By the time everything's packed, it's about 10.00 a.m. Uncle Tuck Soon and Aunt Suit Fong took us to an Indian restaurant for brunch at the old Silver Service Clubhouse. (Is that the right name?) We had a waiter who did not understand whatever we said, even when we asked for the bill and some spoons and forks....only to know later that he was newly employed from India. Although that incident happened, well, the food was great. I had pappadams (a kind of Indian crackers) in the fish head curry. One word for it: GREAT!! The best Indian food I've ever tasted!

Right after brunch, Aunt Suet Chin, Mom, Kat, Merie and I went to Borders.....just to end our trip on a high note. (Well, I like bookshops, for a change.) This bookshop has not only books, but also CDs and gifts. In the end, here's the list of what we've bought:
  • Aunt Suet Chin: Books (mainly fiction and cookery), bookmarks
  • Merie: 2 journals (notebooks)
  • Mom: 7 bookmarks. One for me. YAY!!

At about 2.00 p.m., we left Borders for Aunt Suit Fong's house. The feeling of dread came nearer to us. It's just......saddening.

Finally, the time came. We said our goodbyes....and parted. We took the same route back.....just that we didn't take breaks....until we were at Machap. Merie and Aunt Suet Chin bought some snacks......before the latter slept in the car. It took its toll on us, alright.

While we were at Yong Peng (which was about 7.00 p.m.), we got stuck in the jam. Yeah, the traffic blues. We were in the queue for about 1 hour....in which most of us complained that it was too long....but not my mom and I (for your info, it took us two hours out of the jam from Rawang last year). It lasted until Seremban....when we realised that the drivers slowed down to watch an accident at the exit to Seremban. After that, everything went smooth flowing.

(9.00 p.m.) We finally reached Cheras....and took dinner there. Then it was time to head home. Quality rest assured.

Okay.....the trip's done!!

NOTE: We will be leaving for Singapore again on 15-21 December!!! :)

Monday, November 22, 2004

Hmmm....here it goes: Part III

Day Three:

(This is the day we went the least places....mostly it happens at home!)

After a tiring day the night before, we got the chance to rise from bed late......at least it's around 10.00 a.m.!! Ah......the rest we could superbly need.

Went online (again.....it's actually a few times the whole trip) but Kat took the comp (I switched it on!! So Unfair!!). Anyway, this was the time that Sara gave us her Neopets account....and at least I had the chance to be there for a while....

Around lunchtime (hey, lunch is not necessarily at noon).....okay, after lunch (to be precise), we had a dip at the jacuzzi at her home. Wow! (I wish I could have swam there, but it was too small.....) This time, Sean joined in the fun! It was great all in all although I had a few cuts on two of my fingers (well, too much fun causes trouble, I guess).
Then, I helped Aunt Suit Fong at decorating the Christmas tree. At first I thought there would be less work, but then Aunt Suit Fong was so meticulous that she said that the lights weren't enough. Therefore, we had to get to the nursery to get some flowers and buy lights there.
We went to two nurseries, the Far East Flora where we bought some tulips and shopped for some plant containers (more like wide bowls actually)....and I saw the pitcher plant (periuk kera....they called it the Venus Fly Trap) in pots!! (Well, we weren't supposed to touch the plant, otherwise they would slowly die....how sad!!)
Then, there's the second one, the Goodwill Plants (which specialises in landscaping). There wasn't anything much there, since it was just newly opened...and we managed to find the lights we needed there.

Ahh....home again.With the help of Mel, we decorated the tree again....and it was more beautiful then before!! Then the balls were put. There were green and gold balls there, so wew hung up those according to colours and space (in between them). After all the hard work, the fairy was put at the top of the tree....and voila! DONE!! It was great...definitely is.

During the night, we had a barbecue at the garden (well, it's not big, actually....the space was just enough to set up all the equipments! :P) I didn't know there were two guests coming too....to add colour to the occasion (to them...but I'd prefer my friends there, with all family members!) I ate just a bit....to 'alas perut' only! Then, the sleep time comes.....Zzzzzzz....

Sunday, November 21, 2004

-continued: Part II-

Day Two:
Okay, I sort of got up early again.....as early as 4.15 a.m. (tak biasa with the beds there.....that's why 'home is where the heart goes').....but then I went 'lan fan chu' again.....slept until about 6.45 a.m.! Went down to the dining hall.....and curi-curi main piano!! Made Aunt Suet Chin wake up and went upstairs!! I thought "....that's so saddening.....wake people up d....", but then she said that it was beautiful playing....so it was OK d.....Then woke up my couz(s) in bed....that was about 8.00 something.....and I whispered to Sara that it was already late....and she was surprised!! Hehe...evil me leh....:P

Anyway, we (my couz and I) went to the market in Singapore with Aunt Suet Chin, Aunt Suit Fong and Mom (since this was the first time being there....just for fun!!). I was surprised that it was so much cleaner than the ones here in KL...not as wet too!! It's very organised....the way they arrange the stalls....and hygienic too!! (especially the meat section....they sell them covered in some kind of container) I guess that's the aftermath of the J.E. outbreak in Singapore....coming from markets...and meat sellers!! (Haihz...) Tried the mangoes there....for free...really sweet!! No. 1 leh.....and well...that attracted some of us to buy some....made me Hungry! Harahekta!!!! However, the pathways are a little narrow, so we had to squeeze in between the stalls....maklumlah, the space being small....
After that, Aunt Suit Fong took us around the market, which they call it the Indians' area....and she said one of the restaurants there (The Banana Leaf Restaurant, Racecourse Road) serves the best banana leaf food.....but then no chance to eat there.... so bad....

Went back home again, played in the comp again (but it was Kat's turn).....had to wait until night!

About 5.00 p.m.: We went to The Esplanade (the locals call it 'The Half Durians'...but 'Bug Eyes' sounds better) and went to eat dinner....since all of us were hungry....
We originally wanted to eat at 'My Humble House', one of the most talked Chinese restaurants in the region...but then it was full house...so, Plan A failed, so we went with Plan B: eating at the restaurant next door.....which is part of the restaurant too! So we ate there....in a modern setting!! (It was cool, trust me!) But the food was almost like normal, only that the names were too spectacular! The drinks are nice too!! Nyam nyam!! :)

By now, the dinner is done....Sara, Kat, Aunt Suet Chin, Grandma went to shop around Esplanade....while Merie, Mom, Hann Lynn, Aunt Hooi Lee, Uncle Tuck Wieng and I headed to Theatre Hall to watch 'Mamma Mia' ! Luckily we had some good seats there....it was at the upper stalls!! But the space there was too narrow (again...)...
Okay, back to stuff....the show was GREAT!! FUNNY from beginning to end.....and I've got to eat strawberry ice-cream with coke during intermission!! And the taste of the ice-cream was original!! Nice!! (If you don't believe me, watch it yourself....and you'll get it! :P)
After that, all of us went to the Waterfront....how I wished I had a camera with me....the scenery was beautiful....I could see the Merlion within a distance...and the prestigous Fullerton Hotel right behind it! OMG....the rivers too!! Sara and I entertained ourselves with a rendition of two songs....very weird songs....but it was great too!! We sang our hearts off....until Merie passed a mike (actually, it was her hand, positioned as a mike) to us.....aiyoh.....but then, we sang all night long!! Yay!!
Then again, Sara interviewed Kat and I about what happened the night before....a little boring, but at least it's enjoyable!!

By the time we reached home, it was almost midnight. I had the chance to use the comp....curi-curi again.....until Kat realised it and used her Messenger in it...(haihz..)
After that, it's time for bed. We couldn't settle ourselves down that fast, so we talked again until we......slept. Another day gone.

Finally.......an update!! :)

Fuh......what a relief!

Anyway, if I haven't told you,
I've been away to Singapore for 4 days: Saturday - Tuesday
Here's the whole account of it:

Day One:
Haha......left the house at 5.45 a.m., with bags all packed and ready to go! Reached Grandma's at 6.15. I was quite surprised to see Auntie Suet Chin waking up so early! With Merie and Kat too! (Heard that they couldn't sleep the night before - Aunt Suet Chin took the blanket off them. Sigh.)

After every preparation was done (which was about 6.55), we started out journey to Singapore. Halfway through Ayer Keroh, we went for our breakfast at A&W at the 'Restoran Jejantas' *sorry....i've forgotten the English meaning for it*. We took the Second Link there.....but at the Singapore checkpoint, the customs afficer there ALMOST did not let Merie in. (Her passport did not contain her I.C. no. on it. Luckily Merie had her I.C. with her, if not........haihz!) Went to Aunt Suit Fong's residence there (behind Revenue House, for your info)....but we're not tired yet! Someone greeted us at the door....it was quite cool! Had a play on Sara's comp....and went online for a while.

A while later, I followed Aunt Suet Chin, Aunt Suit Fong, Grandma and Mom to Fu Lu Shou, a complex where all Feng Shui accessories are sold. We walked around teh complex and bought a few statues from a few shops there. I was tired along the way.....and almost slept. But the fun starts there! :P

After that, Uncle Tuck Wieng treated us to a movie at Cathay Cinema at Orchard Road. Well, it was 'The Incredibles'. We had a good time there.....the movie was great, and I could try the mixed popcorn there (the salty and sweet). Mmmmmm....good!

At night, we went to a restaurant (I've forgotten where) for dinner. The food there was OK, except for the crab at the last course. That was one good experience for me, not having to remove the shells myself before, and the meat was delicious. (Well, the dish was called Hairy Crab in Singapore, but is called Water Crab here....inform me if there are any mistakes!)

We returned home after dinner. Had my bath, went online (but my couz is using it)....but suddenly Aunt Suit Fong came into the room and called us to sleep. So Unfair!!! I didn't have the chance to use my own account!! :(( Anyway, we went like a late night market before we went to sleep that night.

Meledak Lagi???!!!

I don't know how, I don't know why, but this is what happened:

I had practice class for mental arithmetics tonight (means just now) and it was a real fright for the mates there. Why? Well, I almost erupted (true!) and I went bongo for almost the whole time.

This is exactly the story:
I was 30 minutes late from the exact time for my practice session for the day. When I reached there, Ms. Lim, the teacher teased me for being 'lost' for quite some time...but I smiled and just walked into class.
There weren't many people there at first (as I thought) but as time passed by, the number grew more and more. And I didn't realise that another class was there too!
The class was making so much noise until it was one of the short breaks when i had to close my ears for a while....but it didn't work. Then Ms. Lim made some noise during the contest session....but at least I could still withstand it.
The thing that made me mad was that the other class (the ones that I told earlier) was a little bit of a chatterbox....and almost too much. My head then couldn't accept anything that supposed to come in after that and I was slower than usual. It's so saddening!
Why can't they just learn how to respect the other classes and give others some peace?

That's the only main thing that happened......not mentioning the incident in which I laughed like a madman a few days ago. (Deborah, I think you can recall it, right?)
Well, it's a few days, isn't it? I've almost forgotten what I'm supposed to write about that....

Ok, have to get done....

Did I.......?

Okay,
I think I need a reality check right now....

I have betrayed the trust of two of my favourite people. Believe me, this IS true. I just can't explain why......but here it goes:

1. Datin Khoo asked me why I didn't bring Cheryl along for class. I didn't know what to answer her, so I just shook my head. She then called anyone for Cheryl's contact number. Couldn't get through. Next, she asked who Cheryl was with at that time. Bala (who was after that known as a girl's man) had known that she was with Shastini (who went body-piercing) at a shop around McD's, so he called her to ask for Cheryl. Guess why he's called a girl's man? Well, he couldn't stop talking even when Datin Khoo asked him to. And the person on the other line's a girl. Whoa.....)
A while later, Cheryl was back, but then the place seemed crowded and everyone was staring at her. I invited her to get a chair outside, but there wasn't any, so Datin Khoo asked another boy to get one for her. I offered her the space next to Datin Khoo herself. I really did menyusahkan everyone an felt guilty for what I did. What's done is done. It couldn't be redone. ARGH...........!!!!

2. Mom just realised a big amount of money on my table. She asked me for an explanation for that. I just said, well, the music fees for last month wasn't paid. My mom sweared in front of me.....as she said she wasn't a day late for fees until now. RIGHT NOW. Well, it's the downright truth, isn't it?

Gotta go.....I'll write if I have more thoughts, ne?

See ya!

I'm So BORED..... nothing to do right now!
Argh!!

Looking forward to the class party, which happens to be at night (oh no....)
and on a tuition day [alamak.... my favourite tuition..... WAAA....:(( ]....
I hope someone can send me there.... without my parents guarding me...

Anyway,
My exam results were bad, EXTREMELY bad.....
Mom actually 'killed' me for getting the results not up to her standards.... and almost banished my comp... so I have to be online mainly at midnight!
And.....
I'm green with envy over some of my friends who happen to be super smarties.... always score when others fall.... ARGH!!!
Why can't I be like them??!!! *sighs*

So.... for now.... no holidays for me....
just study all the time.....
what can I do....

I'm blur now..... *brain shutdown*.....
See Ya! :)

P.S.: I need some help on photos and HTML editing.
Can anyone help?
Thanx!

EDIT: EXAM'S OFFICIALLY OVER!! I'm so happy!

Well, I'm now bored to bits in the aftermath of the exam, but then... I'm worried for the day of reckoning. Yep.

Yikes!
How am I to face that, ne?

Well, I'd better write more...
