It's been ages...

2009-12-14T13:41:00.004+08:00

Since I've actually updated this blog...Haha!
I've been feeling pretty lazy...and I've been busy too.

I've just finished my Term 2 and am currently on a one month break! =D

One of the things I had to do this term was a music video to raise awareness on HIV/AIDS for my Moral Studies assignment. And the criteria is to have the MV carry at least ONE of the following main issues of HIV/AIDS:
1) Difference between HIV and AIDS
2) Breach of confidentiality on HIV/AIDS and People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA)
3) Misconceptions of HIV/AIDS and PLWHA
4) Prejudice, Stigma and Discrimination against PLWHA

To be honest, I NEVER expected the words 'Music Video' to come out of my lecturer's mouth. It's bad enough if we have to come up with a sketch/advertisement that is creative with the any of the above messages (there was a lot of pressure after we saw some of our seniors' works) now we have to incorporate music? o.0 And make sure it fits??
Initial reaction: OMG!!!

But then, after my brain managed to actually process the whole thing, the song that immediately came to my mind was 'Ignorance' by Paramore. I kept hearing "You treat me just like, another stranger..." in my head for the rest of my lecturer's briefing. Then suddenly, I had ideas that ran through my head...A small part of the intro, and one part of the chorus. I had to pause my ideas till after class.

Then, on the way to Jaya One for a small gathering of classmates, more ideas came into my head in the car...And since I arrived 2 hours early, I ended up in Wendy's with a large cup of coke, plugged in my Pod, put Paramore on repeat and started storyboarding my idea...I was totally pumped!

And so, within an hour at Wendy's, I pretty much had most of my storyboard complete.
Now, to convince my other group members... XD

I have to say, that convincing them wasn't an easy job. I had support from only one group member, and the rest all felt that the song was too 'aggressive' for them. They wanted something much slower...(*coughdepressingcough*)
And so...the big headache starts. To cut a long story short, I really pushed for my idea, and they finally (and quite reluctantly) accepted the idea.

We began shooting (it was super tiring...didn't help that I had to move during that time) and managed to wrap it up after two weekends! (4 days)
Then, that's when the long process of editing began (again, NOT an easy job...especially since you had to watch all the footage and cut here and there, follow the timing of the song...etc)

The day of the awards came (25th Nov), and the waiting was torture.
It was at 4pm, and two of my classes were cancelled, so I had plenty of time to worry about how I'm having 13 people's marks on my shoulders.
Truly nerve wracking.

In the end, it was all worth it as we won 2nd!!! =D

Here's the video! =D

I'm so glad that I got to do this project as it's the kind of thing that I love to do. And something that I may never get a chance to do again...
My only regret is that we didn't manage to get a proper video camera for the shoot... Would have gotten better quality footage. But I'm still glad it's done =D
I'm also super thankful that all of my group mates agreed to my idea even though they didn't really like it... Whoo~!

And yes, this is a SUPER LONG post XD

...to my orientation and I feel pretty nervous.
I have no idea why.
I mean, you'd think I'd get used to the whole 'being-in-a-new-environment' thing by now...

From kindergarten to primary school.
Then primary school to secondary school.
From secondary school to well...secondary school for pre-U studies.
Then from secondary school to yet another secondary school for pre-U studies.

And now, Uni.

@_@

It still feels like it's the first time I'm meeting people all over again.
New people. New faces.
Maybe a few familiar ones.
Maybe none.
*sigh*

Am I anti-social??? >.<
I hate myself sometimes. I think too much.

2009-07-10T07:55:00.005+08:00

and I get a message.
It says:

'Best MSG of 2009
Juz read tiz n understand;

They love u but
they r not your lover..
They care 4 u but
they r not from your family..
They r ready to share your pain but they r not in your blood relation..
They r...

FRIENDS!!!

True fren scolds like a Dad!
Cares like a Mom!
Teases like a Sister!
Irritates like a Brother!
N finally loves U more den a lover..
Send to all ur special n gud frens who mean a lot to u..!

Do u know d relation between your 2 eyes? They blink together, move together, cry together, see things together & sleep together. Though they neva see each other.
Life is hell without frens. So appreciate them n hv a lovely friendship'

All these sound really nice, right?
I seem to remember I've sent one part of it to you before...The second part, I think. And the first and third part seem really familiar.
I'm sorry, your message came too late.
All those years I stood by you, kept in touch with you, eager to share everything with you...but I was invisible. Feels like I'm just a spare tyre to you.

"They are ready to share your pain"???

Hah! I seem to recall being in pain at times and it seems that the television programme was more important. Your distant 'uh-huh's and 'yep's gave you away. Oh, did I mention you were laughing too?? You weren't even listening to what I was saying anymore. So...why now?

I guess you only thought of me because you were awake at 2am and couldn't sleep the other night. Yeah, sure. Message the spare tyre only when you have insomnia. The spare tyre can cure it.

Forgive me if I still hurt from the past. I can't bring myself to forgive you yet. I don't know if I can trust you...
Call me a bitch, but...

You're just a little too late.

2008-06-07T23:50:00.002+08:00

Initially, I had this whole long thing that I wanted to post...
And then, I got lazy and decided to just scrap it.
(Yes, I am a lazy person...)

Came back from Cameron on...Tuesday. Yeah, that's right.
You'd think that since we're growing our own strawberries, they'd actually be cheaper than the imported ones.

Hah! As if.

Let's just say that for the price you pay to get Cameron strawberries, you can actually get a pack of USA strawberries for a couple of RM more.

I checked.

If you don't believe me, go see for yourself.

If it isn't obvious enough, we're getting ripped off everyday.
(And please don't say something like "You've only realised that NOW??")
I'm just stating a point, that's all. I'm not dumb.

Anyway, Cameron is seriously over-pricing their stuff.
How the heck do they expect us to support local products when we can get imported goods or stuff at the supermarket for about the same price??

And it's not just the strawberries, it's the other things too...the vegetables, jam, etc.

An Update

2008-04-15T22:47:00.003+08:00

Last week was a tiring week...
3 days of 'saringan' straight... then Sports Day... =.=;;
And I'm in...six events??? (I'm not even an athlete!! Being a girl in an all boys school sucks...)

Monday: High jump and 400m.
I so stupidly wore my glasses while doing the high jump (which I'm not even good at in the first place...=.=;;;) and I ended up with: a bruised foot, a bent pair of spectacles and a scratched face.
Why? I jumped OVER the mattress and landed on the thin mattress on the floor on my cheek. And, I knocked the pole down... >.<;;; After not qualifying for the finals, I went to run for the 400m race. Which I shouldn't have. (I can't run. I have absolutely no stamina whatsoever for long distance running)

Tuesday: 200m.

Ran and got fourth place... (was last, but sprinted a bit at the end) =.=;;;

Wednesday: Javelin and 4x400m relay.
Javelin was first...(which was a good thing, otherwise I wouldn't even have enough energy to throw). On my first try, I lost my balance and stepped over the line, so the throw was not taken into account. The second was alright but not good enough... Third was my best (which isn't far either >.<;;;) and got fourth place. Then, the 4x400m...was the second runner... I just remember sprinting like crap the last 50 metres or so...and I was aching after that...
Discovered that I actually qualified for the 200m finals.

Thursday: Went to the Court Complex in KL.
The place is HUGE. The library feels empty though...That's the only word I can think of to describe their library. Empty. Watched a few magistrate court cases. Quite interesting...but quite scary... Wonder if the teacher who took us there managed to sleep the night before since she was worrying about how we'll behave when we're there... XD
We behaved ourselves like the good students we are. ^_~

Friday: Sports Day. 200m finals and 4x100m relay.
Was nervous the entire morning. The school field was like a paddy field. =.=;;; Wet and muddy. It was so terrible that for all the track events, everyone didn't need to run in their lanes. And all who were running had mud splashed all over their clothes. Got dead last for 200m >.<;;;;; Was the second runner for the 4x100m...and...my team got second! ^____^

Dead tired the whole week... >.<;;;;;
I should really exercise more...I'm so not fit.

Freaked

2008-03-22T23:35:00.002+08:00

First, the shoe thief...our shoes got stolen...or my dad's and grandfather's anyway...

Then, the neighbour's house got broken into...but not before the burglar climbed over OUR gate and (might have) tried to break into our house...(We know that he came over to our place first because our broomsticks were in the neighbour's garden the next morning...)

And then, the same night, the police came patrolling because there was some crazy flasher runnning up and down our street (reported by neighbour's maid)... And apparently, this is not the first time the neighbour's maid called the cops because of the flasher...(according to my aunt)...it seems that the flasher has flashed at her (the neighbour's maid) a few times already... It would seem that the flasher likes flashing at her.... =.=;;;; eww.....

And tonight, i found out from my mom that the gate padlock got stolen...curse that idiot...and then, just earlier, my grandfather's car's alarm went off just like that...
Okay...so the car has problems, but... I can't say that all the other events don't freak me out...
Especially from what you read in the papers...kidnapping...robbery...murder...

I got this SMS yesterday...it says if a child comes knocking on your door... CALL THE POLICE IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT open your door for the kid...it's a new way robbers use to rob you by using your sympathy...
So, CALL THE POLICE.

I don't know how true it is, but in this deceptive world, it pays to be more careful...
(I'm pessimistic and cynical, I know...)

I'm really glad, (even though some may kill me) because she looks through my stuff...it's bad enough I don't get privacy here...and there are other things...

Shopping at a hypermart...

2008-02-02T23:50:00.000+08:00

...is really annoying because there are people pushing their trolleys from every direction possible (save for the ceiling and floor) and ramming into you...or stopping right in the middle of an aisle, leaving their trolley there and going to the shelf to get whatever it is they want (taking quite some time too)...and blocking the whole aisle. When there are many more people like that, you can take a whole 10 minutes (or more) to walk down the canned food aisle with your almost overloaded trolley. And you find yourself zig-zagging your way through...and silently cursing the inconsiderate bugger who left his/her trolley in the middle of the way.

This is why I hate going to hypermarkets to do grocery shopping...

He even cracked a few jokes and was talking to us about our results...No lectures.
He even offered to open up a classroom for us in school at night for us to study if studying at home is impossible due to all the distractions...and he said if we needed help we could ask for it...
And after that, he was telling us about his life, how it was like when he was in Form 6...had a few laughs with us and then went on to the next class...He actually spent a whole period with us talking to us...

It went WAY better than I thought... ^______^

Kesian this guy in my class though...Jantina tertukar jadi perempuan... XDDD

...I've lost the ability to draw!!!

I tried to draw something last night but I couldn't...

TTTTT_____________TTTTT

Hopefully, it's just a block...again. I really hope it's a block...

Went and cut my hair since the 'Merentas Desa' is coming up there's the training... >.<;;; I look weird now...she changed my hairstyle a little... =.=;;; It's very bob-like...and the ends are kinda straight...(~~lala betul...I think I have lala hair now...CRAP!!!~~)

Last night, for dinner (and the journey in the car to dinner), I was trying SO hard not to roll my eyes a lot... a certain someone had to come join us for dinner even though she HAD her dinner already...and was talking non-stop...and repeated the same things over and over again...
When we ordered our drinks, I ordered iced chrysanthemum tea, and she told me not to take it cold...because of this e-mail article she read which says that it's no good to drink cold stuff (iced water/tea/etc) after your meal because apparently, the cold substance makes the oil in your food become solid, which in turn will make it hard to digest, which is bad for you...

Frankly, whatever.
I don't care.

"I only take warm stuff" *rolls eyes*

We went to the pasar malam after, and I hated it because it was super crowded and the ground was wet. It's bad enough people step on your feet, but this is having people step on your feet with wet (and dirty) soles...ugh...
And yeah...I realise I complain and b***h a lot...

The First (and second) Day of School...

2008-01-04T13:00:00.000+08:00

Thursday...

My mom woke me up at 5.15am!! @_@

The night before she was yelling at my brother and I to pack our bags, make sure we have our socks and shoes ready...etc. And she made us go to bed early...ohkaay...

5.15am. In the morning...Naturally, I was blur...I mean, during the hols I wake up at 10am! This was like 5 hours of sleep deprivation!

So...anyway...I reached school around 6.50am. Which is like WAY earlier than I normally do...and it's so stupid, because there hardly was anyone around. My mom and her kiasu mood when it comes to sending us to school...Heck, there wasn't even a traffic jam!

At assembly, we had to stand because the tarmac was wet, and I think we stood for an entire period...while the rest of them got to sit down, because where my class was lining up was really wet. Heard some bad news announced...no more hand phones allowed to school. It is compulsory to join a uniformed unit and it is compulsory to wear the full uniform of the uniformed unit every Wednesday...Some other ~~stupid~~ new rules made up...And then! The headmaster announces that he'll be speaking to the Sixth Formers personally about our results...which aren't really brilliant. And he wants to hear a VERY good reason on why our results are so. He actually said to go "cook something up", and he would be seeing us the next day.

The New Year of school is starting to sound pretty bad already.

Friday...

So again, I reached school pretty early...
As usual, another assembly...and at least the tarmac wasn't so wet ~~though I still got my skirt stained anyway~~ and there's more bad news... They want us to line up on the tarmac EVERYDAY after recess (how primary school is that??) and then, if we were ever caught with our phones in school and the phone's confiscated, we can only get it back at the end of the year. Oh, and our 'Merentas Desa' is on the 24th of JANUARY. I don't even know what house I'm in... =.=;;;
Turns out, the headmaster wasn't in school today, so...we're safe...for now...

PA passed by quite fast...I can say that my PA teacher was really shocked at the amount of things we weren't taught for PA. This is because we had TWO teachers last year. Her and another (male, ~~sleep inducing~~) teacher. They split the syllabus between them...since PA had 2 papers and in Paper 2, there are 5 parts...and...he was supposed to teach the most...BUT, he hardly came to class, and then, was involved in an accident, so he took 3 weeks off...and then, took more time off because it seems that 3 weeks isn't enough.
Apparently his arm still hurts this year too...

After PA, we had a free period...which Atiqah, Boon and I used to talk...then...recess...talk some more...then we had to line up at the tarmac. When we got there...all of us wasted almost 15 minutes just to line up, sit down, just to hear the PK say "Today, I can say you all did very well. I can see most of you here after recess, lining up. We are doing this to clear up the canteen...etc" or something like that. And then he sent us back to class.

I honestly don't see the point of lining up on the tarmac just to clear up the canteen. After recess, we get out of the canteen anyway (I don't even go to the canteen!). If we don't, WHAT THE HELL ARE THE PREFECTS FOR??? Just to stand around and model?? Sheesh. Use the prefects to get students out of the canteen. Simple. No need to waste 15 minutes+ to get people to line up and then go back to class. It's taking up the time from the period AFTER recess. More valuable time for lessons wasted.

Okay...so we had to go through a crowded canteen to go back to class. Then we had Math 2. I kinda fell asleep twice... >.<;;; Had Chem after Math 2... After school ended, my brother wanted to stay back...when my dad came, he was really pissed...and when he saw me, he was like "Where's your brother?" and I went to get my brother from the field. As we were walking back across the field to the car, my dad started the car and drove off! Without us! We were like WTH??? He made us walk and then run towards the car... >.<;;; That was super stupid...When we got into the car, we got scolded... *sigh*

Yep...the signs look good for a good year...

And I realise that this post is SUPER long... ^^;;;

The Rant Before New Year's Day

2007-12-31T21:51:00.000+08:00

The past couple of days has been quite peaceful without the presence of a certain someone in my house. Too bad she was only gone from Christmas till today. *sigh*

The minute she came back, she was already making a a fuss.
"Move your stuff from that room."
"Help your father clean up because the maid's coming to the house to clean the house tomorrow."
"Why's the TV on??"
"Throw away all your old stuff. Why are you keeping them for?"
"Dye my hair."
etc.

Shut up already.
You get me to dye your hair for you, and you only offer me the gloves AFTER I'm done dyeing your hair. Thanks. Thanks a LOT.
It's bad enough the damn ammonia from the dye is choking me, you have to make things worse by moving in your chair??
Take care of your own freakin' grey hair! I don't care that the roots are showing! Okay? They obviously show if you're gonna flatten your hair and point it out to people! I just dyed your hair like, oh, I don't know...TWO bloody weeks ago?!?! Sheesh.
My mom can dye her own hair. Heck, even my grandmother, YOUR mother can dye her own hair! So why can't you???
You need to sit down, do nothing and get people to dye your hair for you??? If you want that, go to a freaking salon. That's what they're for!

And later, you make me walk to get you your stupid car keys when you could have just gotten into the house (since you were standing at the door anyway!) and walked THREE steps to the key cabinet and get them yourself. But NO...you have to make ME get it for YOU. AND put them back for you.

WHO THE HELL AM I??
Your freaking MAID???

And do you honestly think that buying me an MNG Mickey Mouse shirt can make up for throwing away my shirt without me knowing???
It kinda just shows that you've invaded my privacy and went through my stuff. And you think a freaking new shirt can make up for that??? For you invading my privacy???
You DIDN'T even buy that shirt. You made your boyfriend buy it for me.

The Shoe Thief...

2007-12-26T22:24:00.000+08:00

I got up this morning about 10am after going to bed at almost 4am...and I found out from my dad that someone jumped over the gate last night and stole our shoes!!
My dad's shoes, my grandfather's shoes....yeah. Not sure if my mom's and my sister's got stolen, I didn't ask her. My brother's Reeboks almost got stolen as well since my dad found one shoe out of the shoe cabinet and one shoe inside the cabinet.
Thank goodness, my sneakers were in the house... My brother was glad he left his Chucks in too...

It's so dumb. The person even took my dad's worn out shoes.

Lesson learnt. Keep shoes in the house.

But I'm still upset. I might have heard something but due to my ignorance, I didn't bother to check? Or it's just knowing that they could've broken in? The most upsetting thing is the fact that it's SO easy to climb/jump over the gate! Need to get an extra padlock. The neighbour was robbed before. It's feels really unsafe now...

No Privacy...

2007-12-23T00:03:00.000+08:00

I've already moved and been living here for the last two weeks but I was too lazy to blog... ^^;;;;
The thing I miss, is having privacy. Here, it's like they want to run my life. Every single minute. Every single detail. And I get no privacy. Not much anyway.
I get my stuff thrown away without me knowing until AFTER it is thrown away.
I get comments that sound "innocent" but I can hear the "snide-ness" behind it.
It's really sickening.

I shall post something much better when I actually feel like writing.

I'll definitely miss the apartment...spent almost half my life here...
Moving out is just making me so tired...Moving boxes of stuff everyday...Packing loads of things...

Been emo today...Just don't have the mood to do anything... Just feel like listening to depressing songs the whole day...
I'm getting many bruises too...At this rate, I'll be having blue, purple, brown and green patches all over... >.<;;; Anyway...this will probably be the last post for quite a while...since there's no internet connection and it'll take TM a few days to set up one... *sigh*

Dust and me? Not a good match...
Been sneezing a LOT and having sinus problems more than usual...My nose is SEN.SI.TIVE...

Thank goodness, after a little vacuuming, it's much better...Less sneezing... Man...that REALLY kills my nose...
To make matters a much worse, I'm coughing...yay!

After having internet connection problems for a while ~~and battling laziness to type~~ ...
I'm back online! ^____^

Since the hols have started, I've been busy packing...I'm so tired...and so sick of having to deal with all the dust, but hey...still gotta do it.

Went out to MV last Saturday with Judith, Dadah, Ann June, Sandy, Liang Fang, Angeline, Gayathri...haven't seen them in the LONGEST time...it was fun! Though I think that the waitress at Chili's will disagree with me...XD

Went to KLCC yesterday (24th) with Esther to go to Kinokuniya and watch 'Stardust'! Not to mention walk and talk for hours! It's been a while since I did that too!
Took a public bus today for the first time in God knows how long... OTL
Watch 'Stardust'!! It's a good movie. ^_^

I spent the rest of the week packing up my things, getting covered in dust. So, it was a relief to be able to go out...
Now...I've to spend this whole week packing and moving stuff...I'll be painting too...

Kickstart the day by listening to:

'Grace Kelly' and 'Love Today' by MIKA!
They're both feel good songs! ^_______^

I was stoning this afternoon, so I did some quizzes for fun and I surfed the net until my eyes hurt...I think I'm coming down with a fever since I've had this slight headache that's been bugging me the whole day... >.<;;;

Then my parents took me and my siblings out to dinner at Italiannies! ^_^
But I feel quite bad because they had to spend so much...and it's like I made them feel like they had to... =(
It was fun though...I had fun at dinner...Laughed quite a bit. XD

Haha! Anyways...the results from the quizzes I took...

You are Death

Change, Transformation, Alteration.

People fear this card, but if you want to change your life, this is one of the
best indicators for it. Whatever happens, life will be different. Yes, the Death card can signal a death in the right circumstances (a question about a very sick or old relative, for example), but unlike its dramatic presentation in the movies, the Death card is far more likely to signal transformation, passage, change. Scorpio, the sign of this card, has three forms: scorpion, serpent, eagle. The Death card indicates this transition from lower to higher to highest. This is a card of humility, and it may mean you have been brought low, but only so that you can then go higher than ever before. Death "humbles" all, but it also "exults." Always keep in mind that on this card of darkness there is featured a sunrise as well. You could be ready for a change.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

Your Inner Muse is Euterpe

You are most like this muse of music.
While you may or may not be musical...
You love music and set life to your own personal soundtrack.
And you are good at making anyone's heart sing!

What Muse Are You?

Had a Chem and Math2 filled day...well, mostly Chem, since we had three periods of Chem in the morning and during the last three periods we did our Chem practical... Had to rush like crazy...it was the first time I was really under stress to hand in my Chem report since we had to plan out our own experiment and my Chem teacher was threatening to leave the Chem lab once the bell rang... But then, she DID give us extra 10-15 minutes? to finish and I managed to complete it quickly thanks to Boon Leong's help.

Got a lecture from my dad again...thanks to my idiot arrogant sister... Her art exam is tomorrow, and she hasn't prepared anything! Doesn't even know what question she wants to answer... I was asked to help her but she refused my help...and then...my dad gets all pissed and starts telling all of us off... Going on about how a B isn't enough...and that pulling our grades up from a C to a B isn't anything...it doesn't mean anything at all...and that if we actually get 100% in ALL of our papers, THAT'S considered good. Anything less means we aren't doing well enough...only 100% is good enough...
Well, if that's the way he thinks, I suppose I'm a bloody failure then, with all the grades and marks I've been getting...
And he blames it on my drawings...AGAIN... I've freaking "stopped" already!!!

Since my PA teacher's off on MC, my Chem and Math 2 teacher BOTH wanted to take his period to teach...and it doesn't help that both my Physics and MUET teacher are not in school either because they are invigilators for the PMR exam...
Which means, extra Chem and Math 2 periods...

Which is precisely what we got today...Chem teacher came in during our MUET periods (and we actually don't have Chem today...)...and our Math 2 teacher took one of the Physics period to teach...was stoning in class again for Math... half an hour felt like an hour...so... @_@

Tomorrow...3 periods of Chem in the morning, Math 2 after recess AND Chem practical after that... My week is filled with Chem and Math 2... >.<;;; Thank goodness there's no school on Thursday and Friday...

...Here I am blogging again...~~(for today, at least...)~~

And I'm supposed to be working on my PA assignment right now... >.<;;;

I walked a little in the rain (to go have lunch) and I was kinda miffed I had to because I was sleeping in the car and woke up to find out that my dad STILL wanted to have lunch at the coffee shop, rather than go home.

*sigh* But I'm glad it rained...at least the heat won't kill me... ^^;;

My dad sorta told me off for sleeping late because I was sleeping in the car...Actually, I have no idea why I ended up falling asleep...I just did. Maybe it's the weather... And then, while eating he was telling me about how the prices of food went up and such...because, according to him... the fish he was eating, used to be very cheap...and that canteen food costs like 10-20 sen?

Yeah...I already knew that...I've heard it quite a number of times already... *sigh*

I somehow managed to screw up on my MUET speaking test...I'm not good enough... OTLlll

I feel so awfully stupid...and I feel like killing myself for that...

Oh well... Time to speak in a British accent and speak as if I was someone from 'Pride and Prejudice'...

Almost died from boredom in Math2... We were all restless, counting down the time it will end...And since my Phys teacher's busy today, we had 3 free periods... some of the guys in my class decided to kick around a shuttlecock for entertainment... which was kinda funny...because a teacher passed by and they all scrambled to their seats, and they hid the shuttle...pretending to study...

Yes...I've been lazy to blog...

I knew this was bound to happen eventually... LOL

Was watching Daft Punk videos earlier...I watched "One More Time", "Aerodynamics", "Digital Love" and "Harder Better Faster Stronger" years ago...and I was interested in them because the videos are in anime form, made by Toei Animation...and one video's story continued in the next...and I decided to look for it on YouTube today.

And guess what? I found out that there were 13 different songs! and that the whole thing was actually a feature-length anime called "Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem". It features all of the tracks on the album "Discovery" by Daft Punk.
So...the whole thing was divided into 13 parts for all 13 songs on YouTube and I watched the whole thing. It was good...

^___^

Oh...in case you didn't know...Kanye West's song "Stronger" features a sample of Daft Punk's "Harder Better Faster Stronger".

I miss...

...being in an all-girls school because...

Whenever I need a hug, I can ask for one, and I'll get one. On the spot. No questions asked (sorta). And I'll feel better. I get free hugs...I get hugs from friends when they are happy, to celebrate or just to say hello or thank you or a "cheer up" hug...Sometimes...we just give random hugs... A hug makes you feel good. It might just make you feel a little bit better at times, but you feel better...

I miss getting free hugs and giving free hugs...I realised how much I missed this a few days ago...when I really needed a hug...when I was emo-ing in school... I guess you never really know till it's gone...

Unfortunately, you can't exactly ask for hugs/give random hugs/etc in an all-boys school... >.<;;;

Lonely Day...

...by System of a Down...

Such a lonely day
And it's mine
The most loneliest day of my life
Such a lonely day
Should be banned
It's a day that I can't stand

The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life

Such a lonely day
Shouldn't exist
It's a day that I'll never miss
Such a lonely day
And it's mine
The most loneliest day of my life

And if you go, I wanna go with you
And if you die, I wanna die with you

Take your hand and walk away

The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life
The most loneliest day of my life
Life

Such a lonely day
And it's mine
It's a day that I'm glad I survived

It's one of the worst Fridays I've ever had...Not because I had a bad day, or an unlucky day, or stuff like that...it's just...so...LONG...One hour feels like five to me...

Still feeling depressed...

2007-09-12T15:14:00.000+08:00

Went to school today in a completely depressed mode...felt like a walking zombie...without the mood to do anything at all...

After MUET, had chem...was supposed to do the practice practical today, but then we went to the lab 10 minutes late and our Chem teacher was really angry...the whole class got scolded by her...to be honest...it serves us right...I feel guilty too...
She's an awesome teacher. The kind that's hard to find...She's a good teacher, with tonnes of patience...she doesn't mind repeating the whole sub-topic if we don't understand...and explains the entire thing again... And when she brings up something from the previous lesson that we forgot, she explains it again...And the thing is, after scolding us for being late (which we deserved, in my opinion...), she was teaching us about the experiment (we didn't get to do the experiment since we were late...) and she answered all our questions patiently...explaining why this particular thing was so...and why we had to write the equation this way...etc, etc...
I feel super guilty...

And then, after recess, our Math2 teacher came in with our test papers...I got very "brilliant" marks...my mood went downhill from there...not entirely due to my marks...but other things as well...

I keep thinking...just what exactly am I doing in school? Really...what am I doing? It's not what I want to do...I was sitting in Math2 class thinking about all these things...
I know I'm not really happy studying the things that I am now. No. I'm not happy at all. I'm wasting my time studying things that I don't really have an interest in...Physics...Math...Peng. Am...
The only class that I don't really mind going to is Chemistry. And I'm starting to struggle in Chem as well now...

I feel awfully stupid in class...I wish I was smarter...so that I don't have to struggle so much...and also depend on other people too much...

Feel like my brain's rotten.

My father says that I have to think of where my interests lie, since I'm still not sure of what I want to do...The thing is...

I KNOW where my interests are and what I want to do...The problem is, he doesn't approve of it. All those times he said what he said, I felt like telling him "I already KNOW where my interests lie and I KNOW what I want to do. The problem is, YOU WON'T LET ME."
So now, I'm studying all the things I hardly have any interest in and I'm not happy and it's all because of my parents...I'm supposed to find my interest in engineering or IT or some science related subject...that's where my interests lie. According to them.

Sometimes, I resent my cousins for this...one of them took up Mining Engineering, the other is taking Petroleum Engineering...and now, I'm expected to take up some engineering course as well...or at least, something related to the sciences...I have to walk in their footsteps... And there's this heavy weight on me... All my relatives at the gathering would look at me and ask "So, what are you taking up? Medicine? Engineering? etc..."
I feel so totally useless...I feel like a bloody waste of space...and I feel really really really stupid. Yeah, I'm the friggin' black sheep of the family...I'm the disappointment of the family...
Everytime, I get compared. Would you people stop??? I'm NOT like them and I CAN'T be them... so why can't you accept me as who I am?

I guess not.

I hope you're happy now. I really do. Because I'm not. I'm not happy doing all this at all... I'm not. All because you can't accept me for who I am...

Oh, I'm not blaming anyone for me being unhappy. It IS, after all, MY fault for being the black sheep of the family...

Not dead, just emo...

2007-09-11T22:27:00.000+08:00

But I might as well be dead.

Haven't been feeling good lately...have no idea why... All I know is, I'll feel like this after I come home from school...Every day...since last week... Withdrawal, maybe?

*sigh*

Got banned from the computer due to my siblings and my crazy mood swings...My ban's off as of yesterday... And no, I'm not emo just because I haven't been able to use the computer... If I was, I'd be feeling fine now...But I'm not...So...There you go!

But I'm okay in school...so it definitely has to be due to something at home...Maybe there's this veil of depression that drapes itself over my house...for me anyway...just for me.

Sometimes I wonder why I'm not dead yet...

Public Holiday~!
No school~!
Three day weekend~!

^____________________^

(Though I wish it was a one month break...^^)

Thursday felt like a Friday to me...went to school for the Merdeka celebrations (and for the PA test...)
Performances were boring...spent most of my time talking...LOL
After the whole thing, the inter-class football tournament semi-finals took place...was lazy to watch since my class lost in the quarter finals in a penalty shootout and they didn't qualify for the semis...so a few of us went back to class to hang out instead of staying on the tarmac to watch the match...
(My class did quite well, considering they didn't go for training and such...and they weren't wearing football boots...^^)
And then, someone announced that our PA test was cancelled...went to school for nothing...
But, at least we had Chem...so, it wasn't a waste of time after all (though I WAS rather sleepy during the first period of Chem...^^;...slept at 2am in the morning and woke up at 5.30am...)

Oh! All the Lower 6 Science students will be going to visit the Jabatan Kimia on Tuesday!
I get to see forensic equipment AND skip school!

^_____________________^

My Chem teacher says that initially, the people down in the Jabatan invited only 20 students to visit (yes, it's by invitation only, apparently...), but she thought it'll be interesting for us all to go visit, so she managed to get all the Lower 6 Science students to go for the visit! ^_^
And apparently, the Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GS-MS) machine that they have there is about the price of a bungalow in Bangsar!!! O.o
SUPER expensive stuff...

Can't wait!

Blood Moon Eclipse

Was watching the live streaming of the lunar eclipse just now...
It looks so beautiful!
The total eclipse made the moon a lovely shade of red!

Today, they made us sit for half an hour on the tarmac (for a "short" assembly)...the WET tarmac...all of us got our skirts/pants almost soaked...waiting for someone from a newspaper to come...Apparently, they thought that they had to go to the Brickfields school instead of the PJ one... =.="
So...we waited for half an hour, just to sing the national anthem, state song and school song, recite the oath for a photograph for the newspaper... =.="""

My Physics test is tomorrow...but I'm in this "to hell with it" mood...So...I'm not really studying.

I'm a sad soul...

2007-08-24T15:57:00.000+08:00

My dad dragged us to the new Giant Hypermart down in Kinrara yesterday after we had lunch in Ikea...as usual...and...I HATE going to hypermarts (Well, I hate going grocery shopping too...)...because everyone there is pushing their trolleys in every direction in a frenzy...goodness knows why!...some leaving their carts right in the middle of the aisle...and worst of all, since it was crowded (since yesterday was the opening day of that Giant Hypermart...) it was SO hard to walk around!!! And I've no idea why...but people tend to be a bit crazy when they are dealing with bargains...

Yes, I hate going to crowded places too...I don't have a phobia, but I just hate going to crowded places...People pushing and shoving...and after getting pick-pocketed before, I'm a little paranoid...

But...that's not why I'm a sad soul...
I'm sad because I discovered that they were selling Wacom Graphire 4 tablets for RM 199 at the Hypermart, and I'm broke! I couldn't buy it...and I couldn't ask my father to get it for me either because he wouldn't buy anything that's related to me doing art... (and...the price is for the first 100 that purchases the tablet that day...)

TTTTT_________________________TTTTT

I want a tablet!!! TTT______TTT

So...now, I'm stuck without a tablet...(or I'll be CG-ing right now...)
And...I'm dead broke...

I really need to come up with ways to make money...
Like I have been saying since July... >.<;;;; My dad suggested that I give tuition...But lets be realistic here... Give tuition for WHAT subject???

And...

Who on EARTH will hire someone stupid who's not good in academics like me???

And...since I can't draw well enough to be commissioned...that idea's out the window...

I'm such a failure...

My mom dominated the TV (re)watching one of her Korean dramas...(and she's watched it so many times already, I'm so SICK of it...I'm also SICK of listening to the soundtrack...it's so ANNOYING.)

So, I couldn't start watching 'NANA2', or even finish watching 'Tokyo Friends'. Gah!

COMIWORLD...

2007-08-18T23:32:00.000+08:00

Went to COMIWORLD with Padma today...

Was panicking and making a big fuss in the house before I left at around 1pm because I thought I was running awfully late...(was supposed to go pick Padma up...and I made her miss her lunch because of that...) and my parents and sister were being so laidback about it...so I made a huge fuss...

Finally, we left the house...and picked Padma up...then we dropped my sister off at her GB meeting before heading off to drop Padma and I off at the Curve... Padma and I then proceeded to move towards the convention down in Cineleisure...Borders was having a SALE in the middle of the Curve and Padma and I were like "Why???" Because we didn't bring enough money... *sigh*

So...at Cineleisure, the convention had already started...it's not as big as CF though...But then we wandered around Cineleisure...going downstairs, then upstairs, then going all the way up, then going back down again...and then, we decided to walk all the way to McD's for lunch when we met my friend Pai on the way out...so...Padma and I headed off for McD's and decided to meet Pai later at the convention... But then, as we walked halfway through the bazaar...I realised how far it was to walk ALL THE WAY to McD's in the blistering heat, so...we decided to go back to Cineleisure and eat at one of the cafes there...
Went back in there and sorta saw Pai again...he ended up walking around with us... So...walked downstairs...found nothing interesting, so we all went back upstairs...and then, all of us were undecisive, so decided (AGAIN!!) to go to McD's...this time, we went across to Ikano first, and then went downstairs...then we ended up going to A&W's instead... =.=;

After that, we walked back to Cineleisure...visited the artist's booths there... I bought a few prints from kiDChan!!! X3 X3 X3
She was there!!! And I got to meet her and ask her to sign the prints I bought!!! She's SOOOOO NICE~!!! Too bad she wasn't taking up any commissions today... I hope I didn't scare her though... And she thought that I thought that her entire portfolio (which contains all the master copies and originals of her work) was for sale!!! XDDD

Browsed through all the artist's booths that they had there (which was about like what, 10???) and then walked around Cineleisure again...going downstairs again, then went upstairs to the cinema because Padma wanted to see how it looks like...Then walked back to The Curve to go to Borders! Walked around talking and browsing at the same time in Borders because Padma and I had not enough money to get anything!!! *sigh* We're both very very VERY sad people...
(I feel REALLY bad for sorta dragging Pai around...>.<;;;)

Padma and I left after my dad called saying he's already at The Curve and waiting for us...
I was supposed to meet Judith at COMIWORLD.
But then, she was late. REALLY late. (She reached Cineleisure when my parents were driving away from The Curve...=.=;;;)

What to do???

Juen, I'll go out with you sometime...I'll see if I can...okay?

Oh...I didn't take any pictures, because I was too lazy XDD...but then again, there weren't THAT many cosplayers like in CF. There was a LOT of Naruto cosplayers though...the whole Akatsuki gang, I think...

Anyway, I'm really tired...I think I walked around too much...haha!

Went to A&W with Esther for lunch after school yesterday. So nice to finally see her after these couple of months ^__________^ We just sat there talking for about 1 hour + before we actually got anything to eat because when we went there, it was PACKED.
So decided to sit and talk before actually eating. XD

And then...today, I went to KLCC to the PC Fair. It was HORRIBLY CROWDED!
I felt like suffocating in there... >.<;
And it was SUPER hard to walk around in there.

The worst part was...

I went to KLCC without going to Kinokuniya~~~!!!

All my music files, my scanned drawings, my pictures, pictures that people sent to me, my documents, my links I took SO MUCH TIME to look for! EVERYTHING! GONE!!!

I SO do NOT need this to happen now...
What the hell happened, I don't know. If someone did this, when I find out...AAARRRGHHH!!! When I get my hands on whoever did this...

I'm really, really, really, REALLY pissed right now... I can feel myself burning up inside..

Judith, if you don't mind, can you send me those pictures again??? Sorry!

Panic!

2007-08-01T20:33:00.000+08:00

I heard Esther was in an accident!!! Thank Goodness, it was a minor accident...and she's okay, she's fine, in one piece, nothing broken, etc. I thought what happened when my friend SMS-ed me to tell me about it...
Thank Goodness...

Other sources of anxiety:

1. My HAIR!!! I went for a trim on Sunday, and she gave me a cut!!! Supposed to trim my hair slightly shorter but she butchered my hair! I look awfully weird now!
TTT_______TTT

2. ComiWorld is on the 18th, and I haven't got anything ready yet!!
TTT_______TTT

3. I found out that there are quite a number of PTS jump cases in my class...and I suddenly feel so stupid... =.=;;; OTLlll

And...I finally decided to go for O-Night...though I don't really want to... Why did I tell my classmate if she's going, I'll go as well???
Now, she's going, so I'll have to go...and then there are the other girls in my class who persuaded me to go...and since all the girls in class is going...I'm going as well...*sigh*

Are you happy now, Judith?? I'm going...LOL XD

Life Update...

2007-07-29T00:55:00.000+08:00

Yes, an update of my life from the past couple of days since I haven't been updating my blog as frequently as I'd like...

But then again, I'll be ranting about the same things...and eventually, everyone will get sick of it...LOL

Okay...lets see...
On Thursday we (my class) and the Art class went on a trip to the National Science Centre...my entire class 'berpakat' to go for the trip...anything to ditch lessons! LOL...when we reached there, we saw many kindergarten kids there!! I was like, "what the hell am I doing here?". I suddenly felt so old? or childish? to be there...it's really weird...
And then this guy from my class decided to be a kid again and the other decided to play along with his friend...XD small kids...aii...

Anyway, the stuff exhibited in the Centre really needs updating. You can see that the video footage and videos to demonstrate or explain a particular scientific thing was REALLY old...from the audio AND the visual...it's the Science Centre, for goodness sake! Move into the 21st century already! And we had to sit for this talk...which was utterly BORING...I managed to fall asleep at the beginning of the talk...but then I woke up after say, 10-15 minutes??? And then I had to endure the whole thing! Then, after the talk, and some food, we went back to school...turns out, the prefects (probates) have to go for their installation rehearsal, along with the librarians and PRS people and Pengawas Sukans...So...that basically left my class with what, 7, 8 people? And most of them disappeared, so there was only about five of us in class...and then our Chem teacher came in and wanted to teach, but looking at the sad state of our class, she decided not to...haha!
Had to stay back for a short while to attend the Sixth Form Society meeting...Election of the new board members and they (the Upper Sixes) were promoting O-Night again...I STILL don't know whether to go or not...>.<;

Now...Friday... It was the prefect's installation...What else can I say? Almost an entire day without class! ^___^
When we came back from the hall, however, we found our class flooded with school bags...All of us were like, "WTH???" And then we realised it was all the prefects' bags...So...we sorta 'kenakan' them...we chucked their bags to the far end of class (the farthest from the door) and locked the back door of class...so that they had to enter via the front door...Which greatly annoyed my Chem teacher while she was teaching. Because, every 5 minutes or so, there'll be this prefect wanting to collect his/her bag from the class... Some of them came in with some others and didn't even bother to ask permission, or greet my teacher...They just came in and took their bags without saying a word... And those guys in my class...Everytime someone came in, they'll be like,

"OI, People want to study la!"
"'Kacau' only."
"Haiyo, come in never 'ucap' teacher. Prefects these days ah...*sigh*"
"There's something called 'knocking'. Learn it, it's VERY useful."

And they say it out REAL loud...LOL
Then we heard the prefects making a LOT of noise in the prefect's room next door... Call themselves prefects...*sigh*

Oh well...not really my problem ^______^

Saturday,
Woke up at 7am!!! Surprisingly...and God knows why I woke up at 7am! and I never slept the entire day...I'm still awake now...LOL
Went to the Mutiara Damansara area...Ikea, Ikano, The Curve, Tesco...did some grocery shopping...and basically hung out with my dad and mom! XD

Stuff from yesterday...

2007-07-21T10:02:00.000+08:00

Yeah..I'm posting stuff about yesterday because last night I was too lazy to post. LOL

Anyway...I almost died yesterday (figuratively, of course...) due to my unfinished math homework. In the end, she completely forgot about our homework and she left class without asking us to hand in our papers...*sigh* That was close.

Earlier in the morning, the people from the 6th Form Society announced after assembly that there's going to be "Orientation Night" or "O-Night" and that all the 6th Formers (Upper and Lower Sixes) were supposed to attend. Especially the Lower Sixes. And they're charging us RM75 for it. Each. I won't go, unless they force me to...with the whole "Whether you go or not you still need to pay" thing. If they don't force me to go, then I'm not going. I hardly know anyone and after asking around, I found out that most of the girls in my class aren't going like me. Unless they're forced to.

When I came home in the afternoon, I spent a LONG time on the phone talking to Esther (don't ask how long...you'll freak.) since I haven't been talking to her in a very LONG time. Well, okay I have talked to her...Just not like this for a long time. ^__________^

Then later in the evening, I found out this very horrific thing on the news. The major bookstores (MPH, Popular, Times...) aren't going to be selling the 7th Harry Potter book because they're protesting against hypermarkets who were selling the book for RM69.90!!! Which is about RM40 LESS than the recommended retail price. So, I was like "OMG! How could they DO this to ME?!?!? I waited SO freaking long for this weekend to come!!" and I made a huge fuss...muttering around the house...making a HUGE deal out of the whole issue and my mom told me off. She was like, "Did you ever consider calling up MPH and asking if the people who pre-ordered the book will be getting it or not?!? They probably would sell the book to people who pre-ordered."
Which sorta snapped me back to my senses...^^; So I called MPH up and asked. They said that they won't be selling to the walk-in customers and that the people who pre-oredered will be getting the book. I am REALLY thankful that my dad insisted that I pre-ordered it this year. Eventhough I protested, but I pre-ordered it and I'll be getting the book! ^____________^ Otherwise, I won't have Harry Potter to read today. My mom sorta gave me this look later and said "You see? You stress yourself for nothing. You can be really stupid sometimes, you know?"

Yeah...I KNOW... LOL.
It doesn't matter! I just want the BOOK! XD

I'll be collecting it today after my doctor's appointment this afternoon. ^_____^
MWAHAHAHAHAHA! ^_______________________^

On a side note, I found out last night that my brother's blog is named "Morphine" LOL. Which is funny, because mine's "Aspirin". XD

Anyway, later it was better, because I had a free period (so I took the opportunity to get a quick shut eye...^^) and then I found out we had another ceramah after recess...So we were all like, not AGAIN!!!

But, as it turns out, the talk was an interesting and fun one. ^______^
I was laughing a lot! LOL. The speaker was good and he had personality. Which I think is important. If you don't have the right personality for it, no matter how much you talk, it wouldn't really be fun. That's my opinion anyway...haha!

Well...That's it. I am gonna be dead. Because I have a tonne of Math homework to do (which has been piling up due to my procratination...) and it's ALL due TOMORROW!

Again...

Went for another check-up today. My ear's getting better...it's just that there's this thing there...I forgot what it's called...but the doctor says that it's lucky that I came early or the thing might have burst and destroyed my eardrum totally. Going for another check-up this Saturday...

Looks like I have to stay away from putting earphones in my ear for a while...
My music...TTTTT_________TTTTT

Anyway, I noticed that it seems that I always update my blog on a Wednesday...I wonder why? LOL

Im still looking for ways to make money. I am a sad soul. There's this comic convention coming up called "ComiWorld". This is the first year this convention is going to be held. The venue is Cineleisure Damansara and it's gonna be held on the 18th to the 20th of August.

Thank goodness my "exams" are before the hols! (I don't care if I have not enough time to prepare for the August "exams" but at least it's before the hols...Then I won't have to study during the hols which makes me free to go for ComiWorld!!! ^_________^)

Details are here!: ComiWorld Website!

I hope to be able to go and see you guys there!!! ^________^

I'm super broke and I just realise I need money now for many things!

Any suggestions on how to make money???

Unfortunately, my drawing skills aren't good enough...so getting people to commision me is out of the question. Same goes for submitting work as a freelance artist... =.=;

And...I can't play the guitar (or sing well for that matter...)...so...no gigs (if people even wanted to hire me in the first place...)

Why does it seem like I'm the Jack of all trades and master of none???

I really SUCK.

Racist Much?

2007-07-15T16:47:00.000+08:00

I went to KLCC with my mom (and sis) today! ^_^
(Yuts: Two words: "MAT SALLEHS"!!! ^_~)

But it was just a short trip...about 1 hour???....LOL

We went to the bank...and while waiting for our turn...I noticed that there was this particular bank teller (who so happened to be in my line of sight...) who was being racist. And being VERY obvious about it too! She was serving this 'mat salleh' and being awfully nice to him. "Here sir...this is yours..." etc, etc.
After that 'mat salleh' was this fellow...who was coloured. An Indian or Indonesian...I'm not really sure...I'm sorry!...but he was dark skinned. Anyway...after that 'mat salleh' it was this fellow's turn. I could INSTANTLY see the bank teller's facial expression change! It went sour! Like she wasn't really happy to be of service to that man. He was a foreigner...I know, because I saw his passport on the counter...When he reached for it, the bank teller just SLAMMED her hand on his passport and said "Not yet!" really rudely.
If it were the 'mat salleh' dude who wanted to take his passport, she would have said "I'm sorry sir, but I still need your passport".

Preferential treatment much?

And then...after she counted his money, instead of putting it on the counter nicely, she SLAMMED his money on the counter...Like she wasn't pleased to count his money, like she wasn't happy to be giving him his money, like she felt that it was a death sentence to be giving him his money. Tell me, is this not what you call being racist?

To TOP it all off...*drum roll*

The poor man (figuratively speaking...) saw her being nice to the 'mat salleh' before him because...
HE WAS STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF THAT DAMNED COUNTER AND SAW THE WHOLE THING.

That racist bank teller is lucky the Branch Manager wasn't there today or I would have made a scene.

Some people.

If you are racist, that's your problem. Don't make it
SO. FREAKING. OBVIOUS.

VMY 2007 will be a HUGE success. Yeah. SURE...sure it will.

I'm Back!

2007-07-14T20:23:00.000+08:00

Home sweet Home!

My mom's finally back from her trip to P.D. and I'm HOME!
Unfortunately, I had to wake up really early on a Saturday morning just to go to school! My class teacher told a classmate to tell me that I needed to hand in my MC (or a letter...) since I missed school for three days. (I didn't go to school on Wednesday and Thursday because of my ear...The pain was excruciating and it was torture...had to FORCE myself to sleep to not feel the pain...and it was also difficult to sleep because of the pain! T-T)

Anyway...forced myself to go to school...and I ended up being late 2 minutes... =.=;
Yeah, I go to school on a Saturday...while still feeling weird from the medicine, and I get myself punished because I was late...how stupid of me! Sheesh...
Some of the people in my class asked me why I was absent...I was like, "Because I was sick???" Why else would I be absent? Sheesh...

And we had to sit through a ceramah for FOUR hours in the hall. Yeah...all this on a Saturday. Great, yes? The first speaker gave a talk on 'The Importance of Education'. Like I haven't heard that speech before. I get it at least TWICE every single year from my father! Ever since primary school...So yeah...I SO need another person telling me the importance of education... *rolls eyes* I SO do *not* know the importance of education...Sheesh...
And for some unexplainable, unknown and alien reason, I ended up somewhere in the second row in front, right in the middle...ugh...

Anyway...after that whole thing...(didn't really get to study...only one period of Chem...so I went to school for nothing...just to send my stupid MC...) I went to the hospital to get treatment for my ear again...I'll not post up the details...it's probably disgusting to read...though it's not really disgusting to me...and I might risk making people puke on their keyboards...so I'd rather not.
I can finally hear slightly better in my left ear! ^_^ It'll take some more visits to the hospital and about another 2-3 weeks of medication, but...it's looking good so far...the condition of my ear is improving.

Just a general warning...do NOT get water into your ear! If you do, drain it out...dry it. Your risk of getting an infection (bacterial or fungal) will be reduced. Trust me. You do NOT wanna get an infection. It's just too painful.

I didn't get to go to Bon-Odori after all... T-T But there's always next year (by then, my mom'll actually allow me to drive myself there ^___^)!

Not going to Bon-Odori

2007-07-12T05:49:00.000+08:00

Due to unforseen circumstances, I don't think I'll be going to Bon-Odori this year. AND even go out this Saturday to watch 'Harry Potter 5' (Sorry Padma, Juen...)

I got this nasty ear infection and I can't really hear in my left ear. I have an appointment with the doctor this Saturday to get the rest of it removed.
Will post the details later.

I am also NOT going to be around (online) for a couple of days...I'm not going to be home too! I'll be staying over at my aunt's...my mom has this training thing she's gotta do in P.D. And that's also why I won't be able to go to Bon-Odori this year.

Anyway, those who wanna go to Bon-Odori and see what it's like, it's THIS Saturday (14th July), at the Matsushita Sports Stadium, SHAH ALAM.
The gates OPEN at 5pm. Eventhough it starts later, I suggest you go there at 5 something. It's going to be SUPER crowded and SUPER hard to find a parking space later! I kid you not.

Bring a camera, and also your own water and snacks. If you wanna buy snacks there, it's fine, BUT bring A LOT of cash.

Okay...that's it. Those who went, take some pix for me, okay? and send them to my email! ^_^

I'll be back Saturday night!

Jia Out.

LIVE EARTH Concert

2007-07-07T16:17:00.000+08:00

...---...

LIVE EARTH concert!

I'm watching the Tokyo one right now...Linkin Park's going to be performing in a while!!! X3 ^_____^

This band named 'abingdon boys school' performed earlier! They're good! Another band to go crazy about! Naturally, being me, I went and looked them up in Wikipedia! X3 I discovered that they did a cover of BUCK-TICK's song 'Dress' (the opening theme song for 'Trinity Blood'!). abingdon boys school's version is good too! X3

abingdon boys school also did the opening themes for 'D.Gray-man' and 'Darker than Black'. Me, starting to be obsessed...as usual...lol...went and dL-ed the songs. The 'D.Gray-man' opening is called 'Innocent Sorrow' and the 'Darker than Black' one is called 'HOWLING'. X3 X3 X3

They (abingdon boys school) actually wear costumes when performing! Like their name...They dress up in those preppy school uniforms. ^_^ And the lead singer wears thick rimmed black glasses too!

Like in the picture below! X3

There are other uniforms too! Watch their videos on YouTube!

abingdon boys school - Innocent Sorrow video
abingdon boys school - HOWLING video

Listen to their songs here! --->
Dress (cover)
HOWLING

and...I'm lazy to put up more links =P But you can find their songs on radioblogclub. ;)
LOL
Well...Gotta go! Linkin Park's on NOW!

Slipped Away...

2007-07-05T20:17:00.000+08:00

...by Avril Lavigne.

This song is dedicated In Loving Memory of my Grandmother who passed away on this day, three years ago...

Na na
Na na na na na na

I miss you
I miss you so bad
I don't forget you
Oh it's so sad

I hope you can hear me
I remember it clearly

The day you slipped away
Was the day
I found it won't be the same
Oh

Na na
Na na na na na

I didn't get around to kiss you
Goodbye on the hand
I wish that I could see you again
I know that I can't

I hope you can hear me
I remember it clearly

The day you slipped away
Was the day
I found it won't be the same
Oh

I've had my wake up
Won't you wake up
I keep asking why
I can't take it
It wasn't fake
It happened you passed by

Now you're gone
Now you're gone
There you go
There you go
Somewhere I can't bring you back
Now you're gone
Now you're gone
There you go
There you go
Somewhere you're not coming back

The day you slipped away
Was the day
I found it won't be the same
Oh

Na na
Na na na na na

I miss you...

Nothing but homework!

2007-07-04T16:06:00.000+08:00

I've nothing but homework to do...*sigh*

Piled on me like rain falling from the sky...>.<;

Yay me! I've just won a one way ticket to die...of exhaustion, of suicide, of boredom...whatever.

Did I also mention that my sister's annoying me to death as well???

*goes back to room to die a slow death*

PS: Congratulations to Judith! You've won a prize from me! ^_^
Remember to send in your request!

Another rant...

2007-07-01T20:38:00.000+08:00

I seem to be ranting a LOT these days...*sigh*

The reason I hardly tell my parents (and some people) stuff about me...and the reason I am not really close to them is because they'll use it against me in the end. I get betrayed.
And so...I'm not going to tell you anything anymore. You wanted more communication. You wanted to know what's going on in my life... and I thought I could try to trust you. Tell you things about my life. It was all going on fine, but you chose to use that information against me.
So, never again will I tell you anything anymore.

You just lost my trust.

And people wonder why I'm cynical, sarcastic, suspicious of others, pessimistic, cutting, etc...

Oh...Yui Teng? If you're reading this...check this picture out! ---> Link!

Over My Head (Cable Car)...

2007-06-26T20:24:00.000+08:00

...by The Fray...

I never knew
I never knew that everything was falling through
That everyone I knew was waiting on a cue
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth
But that's how it's got to be
It's coming down to nothing more than apathy
I'd rather run the other way than stay and see
The smoke and who's still standing when it clears

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Let's rearrange
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage
Just say that we agree and then never change
Soften a bit until we all just get along
But that's disregard
Find another friend and you discard
As you lose the argument in a cable car
Hanging above as the canyon comes between

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

And suddenly I become a part of your past
I'm becoming the part that don't last
I'm losing you and its effortless
Without a sound we lose sight of the ground
In the throw around
Never thought that you wanted to bring it down
I won't let it go down till we torch it ourselves

And everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind
Everyone knows
She's on your mind

Everyone knows I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
I'm in over...
Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Basically how I feel from the stuff that happened in my previous entry...the highlighted parts, I mean...And yeah...I'm in over my head.

Comic Fiesta 2006 Photos

2007-06-24T01:53:00.000+08:00

Yes...it's about...lets see...half a year late?? LOL

Sorry...well...here are some of the photos I took.
I'm sorry I don't know who some characters are...and where they're from...I'm stupid like that... >.<; Here they are!

Being sneaky again...and Thank Yous!

2007-06-20T23:50:00.000+08:00

I'm supposed to be sleeping now...since I have school in the morning and because I'm not supposed to sleep late (I have a... can you believe it?... curfew...=.=;). And I'm also sneakily using the computer again ^^;

Anyway...hmm...school is, as usual, exhausting. I come home every day...with my energy drained. I have no idea why. Like I'm half dead and I need to run on batteries...and I always need to recharge... This week seems to pass by rather quickly though. It's Wednesday already. But the homework is piling up. Non-stop. Sigh... Oh, and...I think I'm going to be in the L6Sc3 class. Since I'm taking Physics...

Oh yes! I'm going to be going for Lit Night! ^_^ All you people going, I'll meet you there! ^__^ I'm looking forward to it! (Many thanks to Esther for getting the ticket for me! THANK YOU!! I really owe you another lunch! XD)

Hmm...what else...what else? Oh...err...I seem to remember reading somewhere that Hatori Bisco-sensei (the manga-ka for "Ouran") managed to become a manga-ka and do her own manga just 9 (NINE!!) months after she decided she WANTED to become one!!! But...thing is, the article I thought I read it from (when I re-read it again...) doesn't mention ANYTHING about the whole "she became a manga-ka in just 9 months" thing....
SO...
Now, I don't know if:
1. my whacked mind just made the whole thing up and I was just under the illusion that I read something like that,

OR

2. it was another artist and another article I read but I mixed up and thought it was Hatori-sensei.

It might most likely be number 1. But...I really got to say...I was REALLY impressed. And inspired by the whole thing...Regardless if I made the whole thing up, or if it was about another artist...(IF it was another artist I read about and I mixed that artist up with Hatori-sensei...I apologise. Blame it on me and my rotting memory. >.<;)...I mean, it kinda showed me that if I'm REALLY determined to get somewhere...I'll get there. And then there was the whole thing about me finding out that the members of CLAMP (yes, THE CLAMP. The people who did "Cardcaptor Sakura", "Tsubasa", "XXXHolic" and many, many, many more successful manga) didn't attend art classes. And just look where they are!!!
Knowing these little things really inspire me to be a better artist...inspire me to work harder...do what I really want to do...and be where I want to be... Especially during the times I feel like giving up on doing this, when I'm down, when I don't believe in myself, and when I believe that I can't make it because I'm not good enough. These little, little things inspire me. And also all the love and support I get from the people who believe in me. Thank you for believing in me when I couldn't believe in myself! Those were the things that made me go on.
HONTOU NI ARIGATOU GOZAIMASU!!! *bows*

(I'll save the whole long list of thanks when I finally get to publish my first manga/comic...that is...if I manage to be good enough... ^_~...spare you the torture...for now...*grins*)

Oops...I think I hear my mom waking up...Gotta go!

Jia Over and Out.

It's the weekend already...

2007-06-09T02:11:00.000+08:00

...And I'm not ready for the holidays to end...
I'm not ready to go back to school now... I don't want to...After this, it's all work, (work, work and MORE work) no play for me. And it's not like I'll be doing something I'll enjoy doing...I don't enjoy doing Physics nor do I enjoy doing Chemistry and least of all...Pengajian Am...

...and Math.
TTTT___________TTTT
Homework is not going to be fun...

I shall mourn for my lost freedom, and I shall start now. Though I'll most definitely make the most out of my weekend...

I've no mood to talk today...

2007-06-06T20:14:00.000+08:00

I don't know why...I just feel so emo today... I don't feel like talking to anyone...or SMS-ing...or whatever...
So...Sorry to everyone...those that called or SMS-ed me today, and I sounded really cold on...I just really have no mood to talk...
I think I just need time alone...to be emo and depressed...

And...my gums ache again...this time on the left...I can taste blood this time...I hope there's nothing wrong and it's just because my wisdom teeth are coming...

Over and out.

*goes back to listening to depressing songs in a dark room*

Yo ho, yo ho~! A Pirate's Life for me~!

2007-06-04T01:42:00.000+08:00

Drink up me hearties~! Yo ho~!

Aye, I've watched Pirates of the Caribbean 3 : At World's End!
Today, well, yesterday...3rd June...I seem to be writing me blog entries early in the morning the next day (the reason: my brother...)...I went to 1Utama, GSC...But since I couldn't get the tickets online, we had to line up...But then, there were no seats left! (Well, there was, but they were right in front, so we decided not to take it...) Even for Shrek 3!
So...we went over to TGV to try our luck and...they had plenty of seats! I got really good seats too! (3rd row from the back...^_^)
Before the movie...since we had about 3 hours to kill...we went to get some lunch. Had lunch at this place called "Charms" (I think...^^;). When we got the bill...OMG! RM83.26!!! What a rip off! Should have gone to Italiannies instead... RM11.90 for Asam Laksa?? I could get better Asam Laksa for less at the Little Penang Cafe!
Anyway...when it was about time for the movie, went to get popcorn and drinks...but guess what???
THERE WAS NO MORE POPCORN!
How the hell do you watch a movie without popcorn??? The whole point of going to a cinema is so you can watch a movie while stuffing yourself with popcorn...LOL.
But...it was Pirates of the Caribbean! So...it's okay, I guess...LOL
And Pirates was GOOD. REALLY GOOD! To hell with the critics! Captain Jack Sparrow is one of the best characters. EVER!
Now, I'm totally into this whole 'Pirates' thing...So...If I start talking (sorta...) like one, you know why! ^___^
Yo ho, yo ho~! A Pirate's life for me~!

Oh...Aaaand...My mom got me an all-in-one printer today! ^___^
I finally have a scanner!
I can finally scan stuff!!!
Now...I'm off to bed...It's already 2.13 in the morning...

"The King and his men stole the Queen from her bed
And bound her in her bones.
The seas be ours and by the powers
Where we will, we'll roam.
Yo ho, haul together, hoist the colours high
Heave ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die!"

-"Hoist the Colours", from: Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End.

By the way, those who are planning to watch Pirates of the Caribbean 3... Please stay in the cinema through the credits...There's another scene in the end you'll have to see! Savvy?

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum~! ^_^

Accident...

2007-06-03T00:10:00.000+08:00

Today, actually, yesterday (2nd June)... didn't get up early enough to drive my two siblings to their meeting with my mom...so...went out in the afternoon instead. Drove around the area...it was all going quite well...then decided to be "smart" (meaning ultra stupid) and drove to Desa Waterpark when it's packed with people since it's the weekend...Was driving around the (packed) carpark when there was this car with its damned door open in a narrow lane...SO...

I hit the stupid, wretched curb. And naturally, the car "flew". Damn. Thank goodness the car didn't flip over... Now, I don't think my mom trusts me to drive the car without her in it... TTTT______TTTT
WHY ME??? Why the hell am I so "SMART"???

That aside, didn't get to go out anywhere because that stupid agent who said he'd bring people up to come look at our apartment at 3pm, called at 1 something to tell us that he'd come at 5pm. Then, at 5.10pm, he called and said he'd be around in 10 minutes time...and guess what??? He came a few minutes before 5.50pm! Brilliant! Why can't these people be punctual?? We have lives...you can't expect us to stay at home, cancel our plans and wait for people to bring stangers into our home. This is stupid. If it were someone I knew, fine. But you people are strangers. And you expect us to wait for you???

And, as if I haven't been experiencing a bad enough day...I think there's something wrong with my computer...the screen has been flickering everytime I start it up...then it stops...and just now, the screen shrunk! By itself!! @_@
And...to add to my bad day, my diskette (yes, I'm still using that thing...) with some of my stories in it can't be read!!! T-T The computer says that the diskette isn't formatted...which means that I'll have to format it and that translates into: My stories getting erased!!!
TTTTT________TTTTT
Gone! All gone!!!

I've a big headache now...
Feel like dying... =.=;

Licence to drive...

2007-06-02T00:04:00.000+08:00

I've got my P Licence already! ^______^
Which means I'll be driving my brother and sister to their Boys'/Girls' Brigade meeting...with my mom in the car...she's afraid I'll crash or something...sigh...

I've got this idea for a drawing...I'm working on it...I need a ton of references though...But I don't think I'll post this particular drawing anywhere. Even on deviantart. ^__^ Sorry!
I've other ideas as well, and they're progressing nicely...I'm just scared to ink...I'm afraid I'll ruin it...LOL. I'll be posting up some new stuff soon. I just need to wait until my mom gets me a scanner. ^_^
Am also currently planning on sending in two entries for the Bakat Baru Competition under the Illustration category. One with the draft completely done, I just need to ink and colour it (unfortunately I can't do anything with it until my friend returns it to me...she was supposed to scan it for me... =.=;). The draft for the second one is almost done. I am submitting fanart for 'Helios Eclipse'.
And, if I have time (and a good story idea that'll fit 6 pages and if I can actually draw it out...), I'll submit in the comics category...But this is after I'm done with my two illustrations.

Wish me Luck! ^_^

The heat's killing me...

2007-05-31T23:43:00.000+08:00

It's so bloody hot right now...I can't stand it.
I feel like I'm melting...T-T
Judith: thank you for being so understanding! *hugs*
Anyways...nothing much to post...except that I played FFXII for a while today...Then had to stop after an hour to watch Mythbusters (yeah, I love that show!)
Then my brother took over the PS2 and started playing some football (soccer) games...bleh... >.<;

I'M SO BORED!
Need to draw something! Any suggestions? Requests?? Though I might end up not doing those...LOL
I just need something to work on!

I shall go back to my cold room...and stay out of this heat.

OMG!

2007-05-30T23:02:00.001+08:00

OMG!
I didn't realise it's the 30th! How very stupid of me... I thought today's the 29th!
And so...the deadline for two competitions are tomorrow and I'm not submitting any damned thing. I'm gonna regret this for the rest of the year. I'm gonna really, really, really, REALLY regret this...I don't know how I'm going to live this down...but yeah...that's it. I'm really tired. Really tired of all this...
(Serves me right though...this is what I get for procrastinating like crazy.)
To Judith: A million, billion, trillion THANK YOUs! for all your support in this crazy effort of mine (that didn't work out...>.<;)! I'm really really sorry for letting you down. I promise, it won't happen again. Really, really, really sorry! You gave me all that support and I disappointed you...Gomen Nasai! I'm such an idiot!

Now...I'll focus on the Bakat Baru by Gempak...I WILL make sure I enter that competition this year even if it means I have to die trying. Or end up stealing a scanner...but I'll probably commit suicide first. (WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME??? I really deserve to rot and die)

Driving Test...

2007-05-30T00:51:00.000+08:00

I...I...I...

PASSED~! ^____^

Yatta~~~!!! I'm so proud of myself! 18/20 for highway and I DIDN'T pay for "guarantee"...If you know what I mean...^^ AND on my first try too! (being ultra 'perasan' here...LOL)
I'll be getting my licence earliest by this Friday...latest, on Monday...I don't care. I PASSED~~~! I can officially drive! Whee~~~! *gets shot*

Migi te hidari te furikazashite yami wo kirisaite GO~~~! ^_____^

Driving test tomorrow...

2007-05-28T19:02:00.001+08:00

I'm getting really, really, really, REALLY worried! The driving school called and told me to be at their office at 7am...and they asked me if I wanted to...err...pay to "guarantee" that I pass for the "on the road" test... I said no. Because:
1. I wanna pass that thing based on my own ability. At least I know I passed because of myself and no one else...then I can have confidence in my own driving skills ^^
2. I'm not paying extra. This is stupid, I know...I might end up paying more for the re-test. But still... Plus, my aunt will say no (she's paying for the lessons for me...and I'm not about to go waste her money).

So...Wish me luck, okay? And PRAY for me. Pray that I'll get a nice/not so strict examiner ^_^
Also...hopefully, I won't screw up on the slope. So pray for that as well... ^_^

I'll share the good news (hopefully) tomorrow! ^__^

School holiday joy!

2007-05-25T13:46:00.000+08:00

Finally, it's Friday. Finally, a two week long holiday. Need I say more? ^___^
Today's my last day in BB. Kinda sad...because I'll be in LaSalle...alone... Whereas I've got friends in BB. Esther, Jie Shi... and new friends in my very small class. Haha...Oh...and my MUET teacher, Pn A. Thank you. Even though I was your student for only a few days, I think you're great! That's how big an impact you made in my life. It's as great as my other English teacher...(ALSO a Pn A) Hope we'll all meet again. ^_^

Today... we finally did the song presentation in class. Too bad not everyone had a chance today because of the time constraint. Only all of the girls (4 of us) went in front to present (since we're all leaving...), I went up first. My song was "Numb" by Linkin Park and I explained why I could relate to it and why it applies to me...and why it's one of my favourites. ^^ It went pretty well, I guess. Haha...Yui Teng did a presentation on "The Sharpest Lives" by My Chemical Romance. After that, I asked Pn A if she went to a tailor to do her kids' cosplay costumes and she told me she'll call me and tell me about the tailor. (Yay! I can get my costume done! Juen, looks like I'll be cosplaying this year! ^_____^) Then I said that if I get the transfer, then maybe I'll see her at CF this year, and hopefully, by then, I'll have my band and maybe my band and I can get a gig there...(yeah...I daydream too much...LOL)
Thanks Pn A! For everything ^_^

Now...the people who told me you'll go to CF this year, better be there! Okay? ^_^
I wanna see all of you there! ^__^

I conquered the slope!

2007-05-23T23:55:00.001+08:00

YESSS~! Finally! I conquered the slope! LOL. Hopefully, for the actual driving test next week, I'll pass in one try! *crosses fingers* I feel so tired though...my arms and legs ache a little...I guess 4 hours of non-stop driving can do that to you...Especially when it's a manual car with no power steering...*sigh*

School's okay...I guess... I feel reluctant to go everyday... Because I don't want to be in school. Thank goodness the hols is coming up next week! LOL.

Today, I’m stuck with Pengajian Am and Math homework. For PA, I have to write this essay on the evils of satellite television and how to stop the evil from spreading (my interpretation of the question…of course, it’s in BM). For Math, 10 long questions (we’re starting with Matrices.)
Anyway…me and my sore arms need rest ^^ I've a feeling it's gonna be crazy tomorrow. lol

Oyasumi~~! ^_^

Haircut

2007-05-19T20:30:00.000+08:00

I got a haircut today. I'm glad because I don't need to fuss over my hair and make sure no strands stick up every single morning when I tie it, aaaand........ I don't have to tie it anymore! ^__^ But, this is the first time in my life (except for when I was a baby...I think) that my hair is so short. This is the first time I cut my hair to this length. So...now, my hair looks rather 'mushroom-y' >.<; hahaha.
I went to get an STPM Physics book...just to see what I'll be dealing with...regardless whether my Physics teacher will use it or not. OMG! All the graphs, all the formulas! @_@ Oh well...have to study like crazy then... I'll apparently be learning these chapters this year: Mechanics, Waves, Electricity, Properties of Matter (my teacher's english is so bad, I initially thought she said Properties of METAL...LOL) and, Thermodynamics.
Next year, another FIVE chapters (I think...^^;) And that's only Physics...I still have Chem, MUET, Pengajian Am, and Math. *SIGH*

I'm going to die if I don't finish my stories soon. Really going to die. TTTTT_______TTTTT

I've homework already!

2007-05-19T00:14:00.000+08:00

Yes. I have homework. Damn...now I won't be able to finish my stories by the deadline! T-T
Okay, so maybe the MUET assignment is fun, we're supposed to make a picture collage out of pictures from newspapers and magazines that we like, or reflect ourselves, and then we do a sort of presentation in front of the class...sort of like introducing ourselves to the rest of the class. Speaking of which, my class, which is the PhysChem class, has only 11 students! 3 girls (including me) and 8 guys. Well, 4 girls when Yui Teng comes on Monday. But the thing is...ALL the girls will be transferring! LOL. Which leaves 8 guys left in the PhysChem class. hahaha.
The MUET teacher is nice. Reminds me of Pn. Asimah. But, I'll only be here for another week, so hopefully, the teachers I get in LaSalle will be really nice/good as well. *fingers crossed*
Went for driving again today (yesterday, 18th May)...I screwed up on the slope... >.<; I'm getting better at parking and the three point turn, though. ^^v

KYAA~~~! Juen~~! Padma~~! I'm sorry!! I failed! I cannot finish the stories in time! Forgive me!! m(_ _)m Gomen nasai! I just cannot do it! I'm useless! The deadline's coming up and I haven't really done anything about it! TTT____TTT

By the way...

I went to MidValley today to collect my YUI cd (CAN'T BUY MY LOVE) and bought Linkin Park's new album (Minutes to Midnight). I got a free GIANT Linkin Park poster too! X3

One of the many things I really hate...

Actually, to put down a list of what really pisses me off will be really long. But among the LONG list of things, what really disgusts me are people who are sexist. Making comments like, "women should be blamed for rape because they're asking for it by the way they dress" or "I'm putting this guy as your superior eventhough you're better than him because he's a guy. It's embarrassing for guys to be working under a girl." Oh, so it's okay for women to work under male supervisors but it's not okay for men to work under a female supervisor? Hello??? Women/Ladies/Girls/Females are human too. We HAVE rights, you Narrow minded freaks.
Another thing that really pisses me off is people who pass judgement on you based on some warped logic (well, warped to me...). I'm actually ranting based on stuff that happened today.

Here goes. [rant start]

First, with all due respect, just because I'm a BOOKWORM, it does NOT mean that I only use my Left Brain. It does NOT mean that I am obsessed with getting an entire string of straight As (even if the damned As were important to me, society made me that way). It does NOT mean that I never do fun stuff, it's not like I don't have a life other than study, study, study. And it most certainly does NOT mean that I'm a stereotype (of a bookworm) and have a closed mind, with only thoughts of getting a string of straight As swimming in my brain the whole day. Please make that clear in your NARROW MINDED BRAIN.
For your information, I use my Right Brain as well. Just because I love getting lost in a book doesn't mean I have NO imagination whatsoever. I draw. I listen to music. I love photography. I am NOT an emotionless robot. I recognise songs the minute I hear the beginning of the tune (I can think of the lyrics that come after, but the title of the song sometimes evades me, but that's beside the point). I can actually 'hear' what the tune of a particular song will sound like with a different instrument (ie: the song's in piano, but I'll come up with how it'll sound like if it was played on the violin). Point is, I USE MY RIGHT BRAIN TOO, and I'm the so-called bookworm. In fact, I think that most bookworms like me, have a better imagination than you. As for the straight As, it's the way society is. What can I do? You say it's good to be an all rounder. True. However, our society is just NOT like that. They only care about how many As you get.

Take this situation : You have two people, lets name them A and B. A has got 5As. B has 10. A is an athelete, is active in clubs and societies. Studies are actually quite good. A is in a band. B is a bookworm, studies about 5 hours (or more a day). Plays chess. The most common reaction you'll get when you find out about this is > No wonder A got 5As. A didn't study enough. It's A's fault for getting involved with so many activities and not focusing on studies. A should be like B.< Or something along those lines. And, if I were to tell you my ambition is to be an artist (or have a career in art, like animation etc.) you'll look down on me. Like I'm stupid. Let's be honest here. There ARE artists who are really smart but chose to do arts instead, but they get looked down on. People only have respect for professionals like doctors, lawyers, etc. Lets say the artist knows the process of photosynthesis, knows what DNA is, knows about Newton's second law, stuff like that. When the artist attends a gathering of sorts and everyone starts talking about the concept of Newton's second law (or some science related subject), everyone will assume that the artist doesn't get it simply because he/she's an artist.
And, if possible, I want to AVOID studying too much. I have a life, I'm not anti-social, I play video games, watch anime, read manga. Draw. Write. I want to be a pro at guitar, I want my own band, I want to cosplay, I want to learn Kendo. I love JPop and JRock. I love alternative music. I'm not a "bookworm stereotype". You made me one. You categorised me under one "class" when there isn't one to begin with. You created the stereotype. You and your close mindedness, your narrow minded self, how can you judge me when you don't even know me at all. When YOU created the stereotype. You have NO right to judge me.

If your idea of a person who is close minded is that he/she is unwilling to get out of our way to help your in some menial task because you assume that he/she is only bothered about studying and doesn't want to waste his/her study time just to help you (or suck up to you), then YOU are the narrow minded one. You really need to get your brain checked, because your idea of that, is really warped. Please remember that students go to school to study. We help whenever we can. When we can't, it's because we have other priorities. Helping you calculate co-curicular marks is NOT one of them. Just because the rest of us aren't so enthusiatic about helping out (or sucking up) doesn't mean we're close minded/single track minded students. Get your view straight.
You don't get to judge.

[end rant]

Oops...that ended up being super long, again. See what I mean about DA being hardly a place I can post up my rants.
On a happier note, I went for driving today! Still fun, eventhough I'm new to this whole parking thing. I screwed up a few times >.<;
Going again tomorrow...Hopefully, it'll be better ^^

School and more...

Okay, so I went to BB today to get registered for the Form 6, reached there at what, 7am?? Waited near the office with my mom to get the transfer forms and stuff, so she can fill it up and head to Shah Alam to get it processed. (She purposely took a day off to do this for me...) But she was SO NOT impressed by how the BB teachers handled stuff...we waited until 7.30am and still no sign of the 'taklimat' starting. Heck, we didn't even know where to go for the thing! And, we heard that the teacher in charge of the hall keys still hasn't arrived and it's already 7.30am! My mom really didn't like it at all. I waited with Kar Yee and Sheue Fen and then saw Esther and Jie Shi, and some more Assuntarians, and we stood near the office talking...then we gathered at this "badminton court"??? and we were told that the hall had no electricity, so we all went to a science lab instead...saw Yui Teng.

Anyway...they started the 'taklimat' and stuff, my mom got the forms to get me transferred but she got really pissed off...then she went off to Shah Alam, and left me there. They then gave us a tour of the school...I'm not really impressed...Assunta is the BEST in my opinion... BB just feels so unorganised (sorry, no offence) . I miss our school canteen, our school library, our school hall. The open space. But, it wasn't so bad...we got to hang out and talk. Some people from AISEC came to promote some youth event they're organizing...they were super loud...super bubbly... and I don't really like it... >.> Honestly, I wasn't in the mood...and when I'm not in the mood I find it seriously annoying...

After school ended, I found out from my mom that the earliest that they could process my transfer is the 25th. So, I'll be going to BB until the school holidays start.

Came back home and went to take a nap, woke up at 2.30pm to get ready for my driving lesson. But guess what?? I waited until 3.15pm...still no sign of the instructor. Okay...never mind...I waited another 15 minutes, still no sign, so I called up the driving school. They said they'll check and call the instructor and then get back to me...so, fine...I waited, and waited, and waited until 3.45pm. They didn't call. I got pissed off and (my aunt) called them again. They said they'll call me. So, about 10 minutes later, they call up and asked me if it's okay for the instructor to come now. I told them no, I'll cancel today's class because I didn't want to come home at six. It's too late. So now, the class is postponed to this Thursday. And they came up with other times for me, but excuse me, you can't just simply make me follow YOUR freaking timetable. You do NOT own the world and I have other things to do as well, you know? My life doesn't revolve around YOUR timetable. All you care about is money. Typical.

Then my instructor actually showed up at my house but my aunt went out to talk to him. And we discovered that the owner of the driving school DIDN'T tell him about the schedule change and he actually didn't know he was supposed to teach me today. Stupid Mrs. Foo. She was the one who confirmed my damned schedule last week! And when my aunt told him that it's already too late for the lesson and that I wanted to cancel, he actually said it's okay and that it was their fault. SO NICE. (He was nice to me for the first lesson as well...he didn't tell me off or anything...) Mr. Leong, I know it's not your fault you didn't show up. It's the people you work under. It's THEIR fault. Incompetent fools. Can't get a damned thing right. Money minded idiots.

When mom came to pick me up later she was comparing the teachers in BB and LaSalle. She's REALLY NOT impressed with the BB teachers. And going to Shah Alam to handle my transfer REALLY pissed her off. They asked for specific documents but when asked why that particular document is needed, they couldn't give an answer. Well, hell to them. My parents really hate it when they ask for details and you answer "don't know". Trust me. I learnt it the hard way...
Tomorrow, since it's Teachers' Day, I'm not going to school. What am I supposed to celebrate? I don't even know ANY of the teachers there.

End of super long rant.

Haha...First entry! Will be going to school in another hour, I hope I don't look lost. ^^; The reason I created this is because DA is hardly a place where I can post my (almost) daily rants ^^;
Anyway...after school, I'll be going for driving in the afternoon! Hopefully, the class won't get cancelled again. Will post more stuff tonight (if I can come online, that is)
