BBQ..

Just came back from Tsuqi's BBQ party :)

Only a few of us went but I still enjoyed myself.. i knew i forgot to bring something but i couldn't think what it was until i got there... pfft... anyways.. had the usual BBQ food+tanghoon and Esther's lovely Apple Crumble.. *slurp*

After eating we went in to watch Tsuqi's NZ videos.. from her skydiving one to the one where they torture the dog XD ...

It's been a long day though.. went shopping with mum in the morning.. will blog about that maybe tomorrow.. with pictures..hehe.. coz i'm gonna introduce the richest hot chocolate i've ever had so far :D ..

i actually woke up today feeling like i had a sore throat but drinking some water helped clear it off but now... ughh... hot chocolate+BBQ food did not help my condition XD .. i'm truly a "wai sek mao" (greedy cat) :3 ... i hope i don't fall sick during CNY... wanna eat prawn crackers!!

Time for a shower now... i smell smokey~

Our indecisiveness..

We have been at SS15 for a year already.. and yet every time we wanna have lunch....

"Where are we eating ahh?"

haha.. the decision has to factor in many things..
how fast the food will come.. how far.. got place to sit or not.. food nice or not.. occasionally, healthy or not..

This week.. we have been to Cabana 3 times because we were too lazy to think about what to eat XD

Sticky...

Today was my first badminton game with PE4 :) .. Last year i think the everytime they wanted to play i was either sick or having violin class....

Tumpang-ed Wun Yeun's car.. the place is quite near actually..
While waiting for our turn i spotted a girl who looked EXACTLY Yen Link's height.. clad in an INTI t-shirt.. but i couldn't see her face very well from that distance and i thought it probably wasn't her.. and in case it was her i looked around for Ying Ying but i didn't see her so i guess i couldn't have been so lucky to bump into them ...

Then as they were clearing out from the courts and i was sitting down waiting for my turn.. Yen Link appeared in front of me!! and Ying Ying was.. i think in the changing room -.- ..

When i was gonna start playing Yen Link told Ying Ying i was there and Ying Ying ran to me XD ... felt bad for not walking with her before she left but Wun Yeun just got the shuttlecock.. -.- ..

played for quite a while.. and after everything i was feeling.. sticky... Wun Yeun dropped me and Pei Wen around McD and i asked Pei Wen if she wanted Snowflake~~

I've been craving for Snowflake ever since the start of my December holidays!!! Yi Min used to be my Snowflake buddy D: .. anyways.. my craving was satisfied.. muahahaha...

Went back to college to do some h/w .. waited for mum.. went home..

I requested for mum's cantonese yee mee for dinner and i'm guessing she's in a good mood for agreeing to cook special for me XD .. so for the first time in a long time i am able to finish my dinner before 8pm...

I feel the tiredness setting in now..

Ohh.. and another sticky thing is.. i dunno why but last night i couldn't sleep very well.. i had.. some things on my mind.. things that happened a few years ago.. and i had canned nescafe mocha (it sucks honestly..) .. and i had this feeling that i was gonna see a UCAS track email when i check my inbox (i really dunno why i had this feeling -.- ) ...

ended up waking up at 5.45am today.. first thing i did was flip open the laptop.. login.. and.. i wasn't surprised that there was a UCAS email right there waiting for me..

the same process repeats itself.. the heart goes bibo bibo bibo bibo...
*click*

*relief* ... a conditional... and here's where the sticky comes in.. it's from Queen Mary.. asking for AAA .... walau... i dun wanna retake 2 subjects lahhh... -.- ..

went to the programme office and thank goodness i can still wait for my breakdown before i make my decision... o.O ...

-llen-

I see you...

Watched Avatar on Sunday.. 3D ..

I think i should watch the 2D one to make a comparison.. :/ coz bro said he preferred 2D ..

The 3D glasses were really quite uncomfortable since i had to wear it over my glasses.. and apparently with 3D it's best to sit closer to the screen to really feeeel the 3D effects.. (we sat right at the back -.- )

oh.. and mum actually made fun of the "i see you" phrase -.- .. checking online, it shows that the phrase is similar to something like.. i see myself in your eyes.. i thought that was pretty meaningful :)

Anyways.. i felt the movie was really good :) .. the animation was great... i liked the story though a little predictable... wonder what they're gonna do for the sequel..
Imagine if year 2154 (or was it 2145?) was really like that.. living in Pandora~~ ... worshipping Eywa... having blue skin ... having a tail XD .. having your own "dragon" to ride around in...

i heard many opinions before i watched it myself.. from "FANTASTIC" to "ok ok lah" to "very sien lahhh" ... kinda messed up my expectations for a bit... -.- ... i have never heard of such a wide range of opinions on a movie before XD ... but i personally think it's a good show and i don't mind watching it again to marvel at the beauty of it all...

maybe i'l get the dvd....

-llen-

no point crying over spilled milk....

but i did....

Got the results... it sucks...

I felt sort of numb.. confused... when i got it.. some were better some were worse.. and i have to think through whether i want to retake a subject.. and if i do i'll be retaking econs most likely..

I felt so guilty i decided to tell mum i'm sorry.. so i texted her..but didn't say the results.. after that she replied asking for my results.. i decided to call her to tell her..

To be honest i wasn't depressed.. i had mixed emotions.. i was at the edge of happy.. because.. Chemistry surpassed my expectations.. so when i told mum the results.. she thought i was joking..

Bloody hell!! i kept telling her over and over THIS IS MY RESULT.. then she ask me "why are you laughing" but I WASN'T ... since it was lunch time she didn't talk very long.. then when i was in the car on the way home she called again.. "So actually what's your result?"

It made me feel SO ANGRY... i think i may have overreacted but i was furious.. i raised my voice at her "you think this is very funny meh? you think i joke about these things?" ..

I got home and had a letter from Bristol.. yiishh.. hmm. such.. not irony but.. grhh.. it's as though it came exactly today to either make me smile or make me more depressed.. like a reminder that i have that offer but... i keep imagining myself not meeting the requirement...

anyways.. dad came and asked me my results ... he said he called mum earlier to ask and she told him she thought i was joking with her... and when i started to tell dad how mum made me angry and said that i was pissed off... a tear rolled down my face... and another..and another..

dad consoled me a bit and i guess he knows that i just wanna be alone... at least he's not like his old self that would shout at you for crying XD ....

oh wells... more decisions to be made i guess.....

-llen-

tick..tock..tick..tock..

So...

in about 13 hours our AS results will be check-able online..

in about 15 hours Ms Hew will come to our classes to distribute the exam results hard copy..

contemplating bringing the mini laptop to check online.. isn't it more exciting that way...like you key in your username.. then password... and wait..... then it APPEARS and you either laugh or cry depending on the results -.- ... instead of opening a letter with shaky hands... hmm..


I seems to be the cause of many people's misery.. hahaa... being dramatic but.. i always happen to remind people the day we can see our results when all they wanna do is forget about it...

i seem to be the only one who is looking forward to seeing the results .. i know it may be bad but.. it's somewhat... fun..? hmm.. fun is not the right word.. exhilarating's more like it...

I reminded Esther that day at the airport XD .. i reminded Elvina (from college) and she started tapping on her calculator checking how many hours we have left..

But really.. it's kinda weird..because for one thing.. i'm quite sure SynJoe and Elvina will get 4 or 5 A's ... and yet... they're so afraid to see the results... puzzling.. but true XD ..


i'm prepareing myself for the worst.. my prediction of my grades... BBBCC ... :( ... but even then.. i'd rather know sooner than later.. XD .. the waiting is horrible -.- ...


-llen-

She's back!

One of my good buddies from S4 is finally back from New Zealand... :)

It was a pretty dramatic experience actually..haha..

Chinli came over to Taylor's to wait for me so after college we went to pick up Yimin.. Went home and i was feeling hungry.. so was dad .. so we went for wantan mee at emporium makan.. (i think they have improved coz most of the time i eat there i am very very disappointed but yesterday was yummy) .. then mum tapau cendol from Cendol Klang and we went back for dessert.. then we watched Paranormal Activity together ...

We were so relaxed and laid back.. after watching Paranormal A i took a shower then we had dinner.. Halfway through, i received an sms saying i have a missed call but my phone didn't even ring before that.. then Yimin got the call.. it was Chia..

I think he asked where we were and when Yimin told him we were eating dinner he was kinda shocked..haha.. it was 8pm and Qiqi had already landed O.O ... i admit.. it must've been my mistake.. coz i remembered seeing on fb that Qiqi will arrive at 8.30.. but Chia told me to be at KLIA around 8.30.. i assumed he didn't factor in the after-landing procedures so we thought we could even reach there at 9pm..

we stopped eating.. and i asked my dad "How???" .. then he said "We can go now if you want.." and away we sped!!


We made good time despite the rain :) .. we arrived at KLIA aound 8.40pm i think... XD .. and she wasn't out yet.hehe.. Esther said if Qiqi hadn't gone shopping after landing we would've been too late...

When she finally came out we gave her big hugs!!! though i wasn't the first to hug her .. XD

We went to the food court for a some drinks and a little chit chat after that.. took some photos... went home.. :D .. then Chinli and Yimin stayed over.. (my first sleepover customers since moving..hehe)

Surprisingly, Qiqi came back with not an Australian/New Zealand accent.. but with an American one XD ... She's still her cheerful, bubbly self though :) .. looking forward to meeting up again ..

Why I like it Longer....

Let's face the facts... how often have you heard people wishing for something they have to be longer?

"I wish my hair would grow longer faster.."
"I wish my misai/beard would grow longer.."
"I wish my legs were longer.."
"I wish my fingers were longer.."
"I wish my holidays would last longer..."

And the list goes on... But apart from physical features and vacations... what else is there to love about LONG?

Let's examine a few scenarios..

1. Let's say you're a guy and you are into all that healthy lifestyle stuff.. you're an outdoor-sy person.... and then you decide to look for a girl in the personal ads one day.. which of these would capture your eye?

A : ".....I love the outdoors! Nature hikes.. mountain-climbing.. and most of all, LONG walks on the beach :) "

B : "... I love nature and being outdoors very much... but i just can't stand long walks anywhere.."


Doesn't candidate A seem more romantic? :D .. imagine the fun you could have on the beach :) ..


Okay.. maybe not everyone enjoys walking and i doubt anyone would write what candidate B wrote XD.. so.. let's move on to something i'm more well-versed in...

2. Food!!

Particularly, hot dogs!

apparently the longest hotdog in the world measuring 60.3m long! (photo credits: plastic bamboo)

Yummy (though unhealthy) stuff :) ... If every hot dog stand had the option between regular or LONG.. who wouldn't go for long??? it's so much more fun and challenging to eat!

but if you're not a hot dog fan.. how about ice cream?



Not just any length but 40CM ..muahahhaha....
that was the most satisfying ice cream i ever had :') ...


3. And what about.. Eva LONGoria? XD ...
Not that i'm a fan but hey.. she's apparently among the top 20 sexiest women and she's pretty good in desperate housewives..
ooh.. and according to wikipedia she does charity work as well :) ..


4. Lastly,

the LG BL40... Handphones have become not just a tool but an accessory as well.. Would you wanna go to a party/clubbing/night out with friends with THIS?

Doubles up as a good weapon though XD .. ( photo credits : eighties online)

or would you rather be seen with THIS?

not to mention all the cool features this phone has!! only downside is you can't use it as a weapon XD .. (photo credits: unwiredview)

With that, i rest my case.. :) ..

Random...

After a few days of joining the TSR forum place i managed to gather some info...

Apparently the UCAS deadline has been pushed to Jan 22.. if it had remained on Jan 15 i probably would have heard more from the unis by now -.- .. so i'm wondering if they'll just wait for the AS results to be out as well before making a decision .. haih..

Secondly.. the unis get to see our LNAT much much earlier than when we get our results (probably directly after we take the exam they can see the results :S ) .. that explains why Bristol could give me an offer...

Oh oh.. and something i learnt not from the forum! (apparently this has been true for very long already but i just found out..) The government in UK sets a higher quota for international students coz we're worth more pounds.. when i read about it i had very mixed feelings..

1. For once (oklah.. to be fair maybe not just once), being a Malaysian has its privileges..
2. So... they offered me because i increase their earnings? D: .. depressing -.- ..


Anyways...i bet the application stuff is really boring to you people and only i find it somewhat fascinating and exciting... so.. i will now change the topic to PS3 ...

Yes.. the PS3 has been long anticiapted.. i never dreamed of smelling it.. touching it.. but i did! (minus the smelling part) ... My cousin got one yesterday so right after college bro called and asked if i wanna go play.. so i said "OK!" .. but i was responsible enough to bring my maths h/w to do there..hehe..

Unfortunately, they only had 3 games.. and the 3 of us agree that the TV they have does not maximise the PS3's potential for graphics..hence my disappointment.. i thought i would be ooh-ing and ahh-ing.. but.. no -.- .. took some short naps while they gamed, did my math and we went out for dinner together :) .. sucks eating with them coz they don't grow fat and i do .. pfft..

Oh oh.. and just to continue my stream of randomness.. yesterday night i suddenly thought of Winnie the Pooh.. i was thinking about something then his famous phrase "Oh bother" came to my mind.. so i googled "Oh bother" and what i found was this ... A very interesting definition indeed... Pooh would say that if he had a movie that was rated18+ for violence XD

Ares...

For a while now i've been using Ares to download songs.. i'm pretty sure it's not legal......? well not sure anyways.. i kinda think that if i don't distribute the songs or download to sell there's nothing so wrong about it... right....??

Anyways.. recently it kinda stopped working T.T ... everytime i turn it on it says "Connecting" .. so.. i guess i need another source for me to download songs.. :(

Any suggestions??

one of those age old debates... *sigh*

Makan session with cousins, niece and aunt today..

Nim's Island was on tv so we watched while eating and aunt mentioned that Jodie Foster was lesbian ( something we were not aware of) .. and to that cousin said "Nothing wrong being a lesbian wat" and dad and mum instantly looked at her and mum said "It's VERY wrong".. and we kinda dropped the subject after that..

To me.. it's kind of half half i suppose.. i will not say that there is NOTHING wrong about being lesbian/gay but i won't say it is VERY VERY wrong.. i'm kind of neutral.. after all, i do have lesbian friends and i read a food blog written by a lesbian ..

from christianity's view..i guess it's supposed to be wrong.. (what with the story about the place full of gay people and it was burnt? can't remember the name of the place >< ) .. but then we're taught that God loves us all the same.. and then there are people who are the way they are because.. they just are.. like they're born that way, in other words, god's creation as well... so.. .....how ahh??

a friend once told me something like.. god hates the sin and not the sinner? something along those lines.. o.O

at the end of the day, i am always more confused and always feel kinda guilty.. guilty because it seems as though i'm questioning/doubting god .. which might translate to i'm not really a christian??? o.O

the thing with all these kinda debates is like.. if this is okay then what about everything else? (can't think of an example that is not TOO extreme at the moment.. hmm.. ohh! what about cross dressing? or or.. plastic surgery? hmm.. plastic surgery can be a whole new debate on its own -.- .. another day.. )


Having said all that.. i know i probably won't get an answer because everyone has their own point of view on the matter.. most of our generation probably wouldn't be too bothered by it while our parents' generation will be more firm with saying it's not right... :/ .. i'll just have to accept the fact that there's no absolute answer for this question..

-llen-

I will be a total NERD!!

I HAVE TO BE... no two ways about it.. why?

Coz i've received my first conditinal offer!!

I joined The Student Room today after seeing all those applicants with their replies and stuff so i thought.. why not join in the fun? XD .. and it's been such a long time that i definitely check my email much lesser than i used to.. but what happened today was :

Around 1am went out to get nasi lemak (due to bro's craving and curiosity for the shop near our house) .. before buying checked email once coz i wasn't at the computer the whole night..deleted some mail and went out..

Came back.. eat.. go to room at around 2am.. and somehow it's become more of a habit for me to check my mail the first thing i flip open the lappy..but in my mind i thought "i probably won't have any mail since i just checked but just take a look" ..

And there it was.. the email from UCAS track notifying me about a change in status.. and at that moment only one thing was going through my mind.. "Shit.. i'm getting rejected by UCL even before they look at my LNAT.. or maybe it's QMUL or Southampton rejecting me" .. basically.. all i thought about was REJECTION ... -.- ..

So i logged on to UCAS with shaky fingers and a bloating stomach.. i honestly felt like i was going to vomit from the suspense :S .. and when i clicked the "choices" button i had a pleasant surprise.. it's a conditional from Bristol... hehe.. i think i almost forgot i applied for that.. then i stared for 10 seconds before looking for the offer they were making.. what they need from me is AAB .. haih.. now i really need to know my AS results to see if i can even dream of going to Bristol :S .. all in good time i suppose :)

I think i'm now too full and happy to sleep -.- .. and i've got an early day tomorrow... arghhh...

And just yesterday dad asked out of concern if i've heard anything yet and he said the positive way to think is if you haven't had a rejection means there's still some hope left.. :) .. i didn't want to believe him much but now i do XD ..

Whenever you need a shoulder to cry on...

I'll lend you mine.. anytime*..

but i just realised.. i may be a good listener but giving advice to people..? i dunno >< .. it kinda feels sucky to know that you're not exactly "helping" or making people feel better after they've shared their problems with you.. (but worse off is when a close friend doesn't even bother to share their problems coz to them "you'll never understand coz you've never been through it" .. but that's another story in itself anyway.. )

I remember in primary school i could still make my friend laugh when she was crying..but now?? gosh.. i'm sucky at consoling people.. -.- .. i'm starting to feel like i have 0 EQ D: .. i really can't recall the last time i've made someone feel better -.- ...

But i still try my best.. i hate it when people around me are upset.. I may not have had the experience they had but still i feel appreciated that they'd care to share their burden with me even when they know i can't help much..Thank you, my dear buddies, you know who you are :).. usually i just tell them what i think is right (in most situations i would say Be Strong!) .. and give them a little pat on the back .. i find that gesture very comforting and it is after all a rather universal gesture :) ..

*Disclaimer: the lend my shoulder service applies only to friends and family or people i actually know XD ..

feeling old....

Looking at all the new students makes me feel just that little bit older.. XD

Was walking up the stairs and suddenly a boy said "excuse me, do you know where this class is *points to map*..?"

Gosh.. he was in the wrong block -.- ... no where near where he needed to be.. pointed him on his way and he scurried off after thanking me.. Conclusion: polite, but no sense of direction :P ..

and for once, i feel like a senior :3 ..


My first day back at college was.. uncomfortable.. -.- .. in the morning i didn't feel any discomfort..when i reached college i didn't feel any discomfort.. but during 2nd period it started.. my tummy started to hurt... so i thought..maybe i'm hungry? but i don't feel hungry... the feeling passed and i felt relief~~

BUT the feeling came back.. and this time even worse.. it was "Mr Ng" :( .. and not the usual Mr Ng.. after Chemistry i did go and clear Mr Ng off.. and i thought i was fine already.. but.. he came back the period before lunch break D: ... so i skipped lunch coz i was too afraid Mr Ng would come back after i filled my tummy..
i thought our class would be empty but it wasn't .. grrrr.. didn't wanna go in to grab my stuff so i thought i could go to the web to surf the net or something since i probably can't get in the library..

BUT when i got there it was closed coz they were telling the new little kiddies how to use this use that blablabla.. (i honestly think it is useless coz it's common sense and i think they should teach us all how to use a photocopy machine instead XD )

all i could do was wait outside the class -.- ..

And after classes were over i walked out.. and some of those SAM people selling their books ought to be SHOT DEAD!!! Why did they have to crowd round the place people exit.. and hustle people to buy their books... hmph.. blocking the path.. and refusing to move!!! HALLO.. you think everyone doing SAM ahh...?!??

oklah..to be fair.. maybe i was tired hence the slight agitated-ness but still... haih... they looked like uncivilised baboons (only those who crowded round the exit..many were quite orderly ) -.- ..

and the traffic after class was horrendous.. guess i was too used to the traffic around the end of last year..after Sri KL went on holiday and SS15 felt so deserted XD .. good or bad, SS15 has come back to life ...

And so Sem 3 begins...

Tomorrow T.T ...

The final leg of our journey... wishing June would come sooner (and hoping the position for apprentice baker at Pn. Wong's shop is still open by then >< ) and at the same time fearing it..
I think our AS results will be out on the 25th this month.. and my LNAT will be out on the 31st -.- ...

The thing to look forward to about this semester is our study hours are much shorter XD .. but i guess they planned it that way so we could do more self-studying.. which is probably what i really need to discipline myself to do this time around..

hopefully i don't need to retake any papers :( ..

i still have a mountain of work to be done.. and i doubt i can sleep tonight -.- .. had a nap in the afternoon and my biological clock is all messed up anyway... *sigh* ...

Chain Emails ... -.- ...

Received one from a friend today.. It's the email about a guy called Chris Yeoh from Inti College.. and it was one of the silliest chain emails i've ever received..

Let me begin by saying that i used to believe in chain emails(in primary shcool and beginning of secondary school) .. the ones about if you forward then blablabla foundation will donate blabla amount to the poor family whose daughter/son/wife/husband/dad/mom are suffering some horrible illness and need a whole lotta money to get blablabla done..
Until one day i wondered to myself.. how does it work??? then i asked my bro (who is the tech-savvy one between the 2 of us..) and i remember the first time i asked him about it.. he was kinda mean about it -.- .. like i was so stupid to believe in it and forward those that i received.. much later on (after i discovered you can learn about almost anything on google XD ) i checked and true enough.. ain't no money gonna be generated like that.. so everytime i recieved those kinda emails i just delete it..

There are other kinds of chain emails.. the ones that are plain FAKE.. i received one once about some beautiful waterfall area in our beautiful country.. -.- .. thank goodness i thought it was too good to be true.. so i googled and it turned out to be somewhere else XD .. so everytime i receive chain emails or any supposedly inspiring TRUE stories i google before sending it on.. and no surprise, many of those TRUE stories are not true.. (a good site to verify these emails is Snopes

Anyways, back to the email i received today.. it has a picture to go with it and it says:

Hi, my name is Chris Yeoh. I am 19 years old, and I have testicle cancer .. I also have a large penile fracture, from repeated beatings. Doctors say I will die soon if this isn't fixed, and my family can't pay the bills. The Make A Wish Foundation, has agreed to donate 50 cents for every time this message is sent on. For those of you who send this along, I thank you so much, but for those who don't send it, what goes around comes around. Have a Heart, please send this. Please, if you are a kind person, send this on. PLEASE HIT FORWARD BUTTON NOT REPLY BUTTON.

YOUR'S FAITHFULLY,

Chris Yeoh

( PLEASE HELP ME LIVE LIKE YOU DO)

(You'll have to highlight to see the text.. i tried to change font colour but couldn't..sorry )

Right after seeing this i was very skeptical and it sounded more like a sick joke his friends played on him.. so i googled and nothing turned up.. His email is attached to the email so searching on facebook couldn't hurt right..? i searched and this guy exists.. really does study at INTI.. and clicking on the older posts of his wall shows his statement that we should ignore the email and investigations are ongoing..

The good and bad of technology all in one -.- ... i feel like i've accomplished a mission XD .. but there's a bigger mission on my table waiting to be accomplished.. holiday work O.O ...

Many a time things happen which we have no control over.... it's sad that these things should happen.. how innocent lives should be taken just like that because of somebody else's whims and fancies or eccentricities...

but that's the way life is isn't it..? we can only stand by and watch.. even as we shed our tears nothing changes.. things still happen.. and the best we can do is be grateful for being alive..

First S4 gathering of 2010...

Today marks the first gathering for our class... less people compared to the last one we had last year.. BUT still at station one -.- .. the venue almost got changed but... mehh.. too last minute for changes so station one it was... i think everyone wants a change of venue the next time.. hehe..

It's been a long time since i saw most of the guys.. nice to see them again for a while :) .. and Jill -.- .. despite her being at TBS.. i saw her only three times last year.. kinda missed her and her randomness XD ... managed to chat with Ker Min too.. and managed to be photographed by Chia in a so-called China illegal labourer pose ... hahaha... and it's time i lost some weight -.- .. Chia mentioned how round my head/face was.. pfft..

Earlier today like any Saturday morning i had piano lesson.. and teacher decided to ask me to play pieces first instead of the usual theory checking.. so.. yea.. disappointed her... and she finally told me about her migrating plan (which i found out last year from Kah Ling..) she was surprised i didn't ask why.. hehe.. and then i said i knew already...
so from April onwards my teacher will be HER teacher ... i keep imagining an old lady... but.. i'll know in April XD ... after 5 years or so of having only her as my teacher.. feel kinda sad that she's leaving... previously at the music school.. in a few years i had.. hmm... let's see.. 5 or 6 teachers.. so.. i dunno if it was so disruptive that i didn't manage to play well (coz every teacher is different and it kinda felt like something new, strange and foreign everytime i got a new teacher and the good ones always leave) but ever since Ms Ng took over i've been doing ok.. (except for last year's grade 8 of course -.- ..but i would blame myself for that..).. guess i should get her a gift or something :) ...

On a brighter note.. technology will keep us near!! she expects me to email her or msn her when i know my results for my practical later on this year... so.. i expect we'll be keeping in touch :) .. i still remember the first non-exam piece she taught me.. i still play it now and everytime i do i think of her and how she helped me get to where i am today.. :') .. thank you Ms Ng ... (though you'll probably never see this...)

aiya.. how did my gathering post turn into this post >< ...

18...

Turned 18 yesterday :) ...

It's one of the more toned-down celebrations i've had... usually we celebrate on the birthday itself and have dinner but this year we cut the cake around 12am.. lesser people too since a few of my cousins weren't here but i felt just as loved as usual :D .. Aunt made me an ice-cream cake <3 ..

In the morning i wasn't sure if i could go for my undang exam... since the guy told me not firm yet so... i slept quite late... XD ... but when i woke around 11am mum told me to call the guy in case he made a booking..so after my parents went to tapau bah kut teh i called..and he straight away asked.. you wanna take your test or not...?? and after i said ok.. he said be ready in an hour... -.- ..

i called mum to make sure it was ok and she rushed back with the bah kut teh... usually it takes quite a long time at the shop but the guy let her cut queue.. :) ..

At the undang place (it's called Rilek -.- ) ... i gave the lady my IC and waited while finishing the questions i have left in the book.. i arrived at that place around 2.20... my test was at 5 something... the wait was agony!!!!!!! but thank goodness i passed :D .. so i'll go for amali on wednesday...


I think Yimin wanted to go out on my birthday itself but since i was busy she said we'll go out today.. i had a hunch she was gonna do something nice for me XD ... anyways... she picked me up and on our way to Jusco Bukit Tinggi Chinli called Yimin..after talking a while Yimin said "put in the bag first" .. i sensed something so i casually asked "put what in the bag?" then Yimin just said.. ohh.. Chinli bought junk food for the movie...

arrived at JJ.. went to the cinema to get tickets for Alvin & the Chipmunks.. had lunch at Vivo.. and before the food came Chinli took out the stuff from her bag... she bought 3 slices of cakes from Secret Recipe.. :) .. we had some cake before the food came coz we'd be late for the movie... but in the end we WERE late for the movie.. so we actually thought if we should go in but sneak to the theatre showing Sherlock Holmes..

Our plan failed... coz we couldn't find the theatre with Sherlock.. so we just watched the chipmunks.. (my favourite is Theodore~~) after the movie we were itching to watch Sherlock and his buddy Watson so we got the tickets and went to Old Town to finish up the cake with some drinks.. went to popular after that for some stuff and time for Sherlock Holmes!!

i must say... i didn't like who they chose for Sherlock even when i saw the trailer.. coz... Sherlock Holmes doesn't look like THAT... sherlock is supposed to be clean cut... tall with a sharp nose.. sharp and perceptive eyes... and i didn't finish a complete book of sherlock (i read the abridged version before) but i doubt he ever got into fights.. but having said that.. i enjoyed the movie very much.. and if it hadn't been called Sherlock Holmes i would've enjoyed it even more :) ...


It was a good day all in all :) .. at least i got to see a few of my favourite people this holiday.. it's gonna get tougher and tougher to meet up in the future...

College starts next wednesday..... haih... i'm hoping the timetable will be much "looser" ... and AS results... i'm mentally preparing myself to face it :S ... i know it's gonna be ugly...

so after considering for a very very long time.. i've decided to sign up for nuffnang as a little experiment ...

there has always been that dilemma.. like.. it's supposed to be a personal blog.. but if i make money off of it................ but at the same time i doubt i'll earn much anyway since i don't think my blog is all that interesting :S ... unless i make the effort of putting in the pictures which i'm always too lazy to do... -.- .. anyways.. hopefully it generates SOME income... it's always nice to earn a little cash.. :D .. no matter how little .. -.- ..



Other than my quest of money-making i have my 10 resolutions for 2010!!

1. Stay healthy..
2. Stay focused on piano+studies
3. Exercise more...
4. Drop weight to XXkg and maintain it
5. Be a better daughter/person XD .. not to say i'm very bad but... there's always room for improvement..
6. Keep room tidy (or at least try to....)
7. Track spendings (even when mum pays for it..)
8. Have better dental hygiene.. (when i say this i don't mean i don't brush my teeth for days ya.. i mean.. actually floss everyday and not when i feel like it XD )
9. Keep in touch with friends
10. *will not be disclosed here*


Looking back at my diary... i didn't accomplish my resolutions for 2009... :( .. hopefully this time i will!! enjoy the remaining hours of new year's day! :D

2010...

Our countdown this year was quite special.. as usual it was with family...

Most of us were sitting at the dining table.. half watching batman and half chatting with each other.. then some of us thought.. ehh.. what time is it ahh? so check phone.. some said 11.56pm.. some were 11.58 .. so i thought.. ehh.. check astro lah!! so ok.. press info button and the time was 11.54.. so we waited a bit.. then around 11.58 ngam ngam it was the kan chiong part on batman...(the joker was about to kill someone..) but we thought.. "harr... countdown watching batman??? should watch tv1 or something.. " so i switched it away to ntv 7.. it was showing some movie -.- .. tv2.. no countdown.. and dad was kinda kan chiong abt batman.. so.. aiya.. dun care lahh watch batman then just when i switched back to HBO the time was already 12.00 .. so... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! XD ..

i thought it would be very quiet.. since we're missing quite a few people this year... but it turned out quite ok.. i got to chat with my cousins and uncle and aunts this time around :) .. food was good too (not to mention abundant..)

so 2009 is over... i always have some trouble adjusting to writing dates correctly the first few days or months :P ...

college will start soon... better finish off what i have to finish while i still have time :S ..

i guess i haven't really thought about my resolutions yet but one thing's for sure... i resolve to be healthier!!!! i fell sick so many times last year i lost track... -.- ... i still have 20+ hours to think before 1/1/2010 is over... :)

Have a great new year everybody ...!!
