A post for a friend (:

2011-07-18T19:04:00.007+08:00

I'm just gonna title this post as 'A post for a friend' although I may end up side-tracking to something else :) Yes, I know, it's been about 23857829048375897389275 days since I last updated and I gotta admit it feels great to blog again! :D

So, updates. Let's see, I recently went to watch The Deathly Hollows Part 2 at a friend's party, but I've never read or watched any harry potter before so I was pretty lost but it was a great movie :) I actually thought Severus Snape was a bad guy, that is until someone told me he was just pretending to be a bad guy. Twists, :)

Summer holidays haven't officially started yet and I'm already feeling quite bored, which is not a good sign 'cause imagine what it'd be like once the holidays REALLY start :O So, I came up with a list of things I would like to accomplish during those two months :)

Go rock climbing! In malay that would be 'panjat batu' ;)
Sign up for a short-term course/session! So far I've narrowed down to courses on Writing For Public Relations, Photography, Ceramic or maybe even Horse Riding? :) anyone interested to join with me, just let me know! :D
Go out shopping, watch a movie, eat a kebab (nudge at bhadrawr) :)
Read tonnes of books. I'm reading one now called Motorcycles, Sushi & One Strange Book, it's actually really interesting :)
Bake a cake/cookies, *ah nyom nyom nyom*
Hug a puppy! I know, random, but I really feel like cuddling those fluffy balls of fur now :)
Go for paintball! (Y)
Finish my literature assignments, :( I can't believe that we already received course work even before we begin learning the subject, I'm beginning to have second thoughts about my choice...:/
Learn the butterfly stroke during swimming, I'll prolly need the entire 2 months for that :D
Finish this list till 10! ;)

Yes, those are some of the things I plan to do this summer :D I always find it so cool how we call our holidays 'summer', it makes me think of all those storybooks I used to read when I was younger that had lines like; "Wanna come over this summer?" :) Syok sendiri moment, haha.

My dear friend who requested for this post has a blog of her own and believe me, it's an awesome possum read. It's so humorous it makes you want to choke on your banana while reading it :) So go check it out here, or you can click on her name on the list of blogs at the side :) I'll give you a hint, her name starts with B and ends with an A, shouldn't be too hard to find :D

After writing this post, I think I may actually go back to blogging :) But no promises, :) Have a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious-ly superbb summer everyone!

Lotsa ♥,

huay.

Two peas in a pod :)

RAWR; we speak dinosaur

2010-08-25T16:37:00.004+08:00

You, the person who's always there to make me smile and help me through the hardest times :) *points at you and tickles* If you're reading this; helloo! :D

I hope you enjoy reading the blog ;) Why do I get the feeling that you're smiling and laughing now? Hahah.

Love you lots :)

Hope to carry on;

2010-07-26T15:52:00.003+08:00

blogging.

Helloo helloo there! :) I'm not surprised if not many people will read this post, after all, I haven't updated since January. I guess all that stuff I learn in ICT (about how to maintain a website) never really got into my head :D If you're wondering, why the sudden urge to blog again? I'll tell you it's because some really supportive people (you know who you guys are) have been motivating me to write once more. And it's a great feeling to type on blogger again, it really is. Thank you, people :)

After the lack of blogging for a couple of months, I think I've lost the ability to think of topics to blog about. So I shall just highlight the events and most happening things that have happened in the past few, hours, days, weeks, months, and more months ;) Well, I don't really have much to say about the FIFA world cup since everyone prolly knows what happened and who won, etc. But I can't help myself in NOT mentioning about Brazil and Argentina. I'm pretty sure one of them will make it into the Finals in the next one! :) No harm predicting the future, hehe :D

Speaking of finals, my final exams just ended about 2 to 3 weeks ago. Which means that I've been enjoying and relaxing for the past 3 weeks :) And now, I'm enjoying myself even further because the summer holidays are here! Whoopeeddooo :) If only everyone could wish for a summer holiday anytime they feel over-stressed with homework and projects. That'd be really cool, maybe it'll become a law next time :) Day dreaming and wishing sure can make ones hopes rise to cloud nine. I've always wondered why they call it cloud nine, I thought it's a chocolate :) Now I've got myself thinking about food again. *sighs satisfactorily*

I never realized how fun it is to sync music into my iPod :) It brings me joy to see more and more music pouring into the music folders. Perhaps I've been in a very musical mode recently. So as I was going through my songs, I discovered a band that I haven't been listening to for quite a while. Clicking on the play button was one of the best decisions I made today, for the song that played really suited me today. Not that the song has any relevance to my day, just that the tune cheered me up :) Hehe.

Well, I'll end here for now :) Perhaps I'll update again soon. Perhaps.
Lotsa love.

Many the miles;

2010-01-23T14:00:00.008+08:00

Yellow :) I haven't updated in *counts with fingers* a while. So let's see, interesting things that have been happening lately would be the amount of tests going on in school, and IU day's coming :) Looking forward to that. And I musn't forget ROAR-mance, do try to come for it! Details will be up soon, once I update again ;)

After much trial and error, my sis and I finally managed to solve the Nancy Drew case; The Phantom of Venice. *sighs satisfactorily* It's a pity when it ends, sometimes in the midst of the fun parts you wish it could go on forever. And yet when it reaches the brain-crackers you wish it'd have already ended. Hmmm :)
Now we've moved on to another case, Nancy Drew; Ransom of the Seven Ships :D The catch is; dive into danger in the hunt for lost treasure. Sounds interesting to me!

Simultaneously found this picture hidden somewhere, I've always wanted to capture a shot like this;

And thanks to Sandralee, I'm starting to enjoy GLEE :) Well, the songs. And hopefully soon I'll get to watch GLEE, though I'm not sure how yet. Hmmm :/

Oh, remember those walls I built
Well baby they're tumbling down
They didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make a sound
It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breaking
It's the risk that I'm taking
I ain't never gonna shut you out
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
(I'm walking on sunshine)
You're everything I need and more
(Whoa oh)
It's written all over your face
(I'm walking on sunshine)
Baby I can feel your halo
(Whoa oh)
And don't it feel good!
Halo, halo, halo
I can see your halo, halo, halo
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
(I'm walking on sunshine)
I can see your halo, halo, halo
(Whoa)
And don't it feel good!
I used to think maybe you loved me, now baby I'm sure
And I just can't wait till the day when you knock on my door
Oh now now!
I'm walking on sunshine, whoa oh!
I'm walking on sunshine, whoa oh!
I'm walking on sunshine, whoa oh oh!
And don't it feel good!
I can feel your halo, halo, halo
(Hey, alright now)
I can feel your halo, halo, I can see your
(Hey, oh yeah)
I can feel your halo, halo
(Hey, Halo)
I can feel your halo, halo
(Hey)
I can see your halo, halo
(Halo)
I can see your halo
Halo!

Oohh, I'm starting to like Glee :) I just need to find a source to watch from. Hehee.
Will update again soon!

Please stay in my head till I'm a hundred :)

Thank you, thank you, thank you ;)

I think it's being processed.

One step closer;

2010-01-01T01:24:00.012+08:00

It's officially 2010 :)

A movie script ending;

2009-12-31T12:04:00.009+08:00

It's 10 hours and 45 minutes till 2010

and I can imagine that everyone else is thinking the same thing too, at the moment :) After all, who knew that time passes by in such a jiffy. Overall, I think 2009 and 2008 passed by the fastest. 2007 was pretty, slow :/ I wonder why, perhaps it was just the clock.

So I wish everyone a Happy early New Year, one filled with new things to discover and lots more to uncover :) As well as a blessed one too.

And to all those who have made 2009 an enjoyable and meaningful one to me, thank you :) As well as those who have taught me many new things and pushed me hard enough to understand :D

.

I have to admit that I feel rather sad to leave one year behind and move on to another. Just one step closer to being 14. Not that all this while, day after day I wasn't one step closer. But I just never really realized it till I reached the last day of 2009 and the thought just hit me on the head :) It's not a bad thing, though I think most people miss their childhood days once they reach being an adult and will have to find a job, work hard, provide for themselves and maybe next time a family as well :) *sigh*
So I'm enjoying every bit of my childhood and storing them in my memories like how a younger kid savors every burst of flavour in a lollipop and keeps them stored in his taste buds ;)
But everyone should enjoy their life, whether young or old :) So Happy 2010 to all!

I enjoyed decorating my daddy's office yesterday :) Especially blowing the balloons. They sure take your breath away - literally. But it's pretty scary when you're about to blow more air into it but instead it blows more air down your oesophagus and right down to the belly ;)
But it's still pretty amusing. At least it gives us strong lungs :D

I think I'll cut it short and end here. I know my blog is dying every week, less and less updates. Perhaps I should get a daily blog reminder ;) Well, once again, Happy New Year and have a jolly and meaningful one :)

This Is Home;

2009-12-26T23:03:00.004+08:00

I've got my memories
Always inside of me
But I can't go back
Back to how it was
I believe you now
I've come too far
No I can't go back
Back to how it was
Created for a place I've never known
[Chorus]

This is home
Now I'm finally where I belong
Where I Belong
Yeah, this is home
I've been searching for a place of my own
Now I've found it
Maybe this is home
This is home
Belief over misery
I've seen the enemy
And I won't go back
Back to how it was
And I got my heart set on what happens next
I got my eyes wide it's not over yet
We are miracles and we're not alone
[Chorus]

And now after all my searching
After all my questions
I'm gonna call it home
I've got a brand new mindset
I can finally see the sunset
I'm gonna call it home
[Chorus]

Now I know
Yeah, this is home
I've come too far
And I won't go back
Yeah, this is home

Merry Christmas;

2009-12-25T16:13:00.005+08:00

It's Christmas! :) And I hope it's been a jolly, meaningful and blessed one for all of you too!

Eventhough sometimes all the bustle and hustle during this season causes us to be too occupied with presents and Christmas trees. It's always good to remember what the true meaning of Christmas is :)

And that is of course the birth of Jesus Christ.

Luke 2:11
"Today in the town of David
a Savior has been born to you:
he is Christ the Lord."

Luke 1:14
And you will have joy and gladness,
and many will rejoice at his birth.

Have a blessed Christmas :)

Let's see,

2009-12-07T23:17:00.005+08:00

Today(s) feeling is;

TRANQUIL

We often long for 'peace' and will even say 'Peace be with you'. When we feel tranquil then peace is with us. We feel an inner calm and stability that transcends the normal agitation of our minds and spirits.

Tranquility is an inner harmony that if we could bottle and sell it would be a priceless elixir. To feel tranquil means we are at ease with ourselves and see where we fit in the tapestry of life. For a while the fight and struggle of dealing with life is lifted from our shoulders.

Tranquillity, like serenity, can be found in withdrawal into our inner selves through comtemplation, meditation, prayer, listening to music or absorbing the beauty of the natural world. It is an occasional gift - enjoy it!

Yes, try to be tranquil :) It's indeed very soothing to one's self and enjoy it!

Rendezvous;

2009-12-07T19:44:00.009+08:00

rendezvousing present participle; rendezvoused past tense, past participle

1. A rendezvous is a meeting, often a secret one, that you have arranged with someone for a particular time and place.

I used to pronounce it as 'ren-des-vez', but the actual pronounciation is 'ron-deh-voo' :) Credits to Naruto for teaching me a new word ;) I do learn something new from it.

I have a whole lot more to say, after all, I haven't updated in ages :) Ages meaning a week. I'll just keep it a simple. Most of you'd know how simple my posts can be. So, for the past two weeks I have gone for an outing with friends at 1 Utama, and I found out what Dream World was. It's that place where they have lots of colourful photo booths where you can decorate your pictures after that :) It's pretty fun, come to think of it.
Soon enough it was the last day of school (Spirit Day), though I have absolutely no idea why they call it that. Either they mean the students are full of spirit on the last day of school or it's the other meaning, you know. Back to the point, Spirit Day was tiring, and full of action. There was hide n' seek, firstly. Though I couldn't find a proper hiding spot. Perhaps I should've tried hiding behind a tree like everyone else instead of running out into the open :) Hehee. Then there was Dodgeball. The game itself, not the movie :D I lost one shoe sole and broke both the paddings in one day, wow. Strangely enough, I never realized it till I heard some flapping noises coming from them ;) So to wrap it up, there was the school party. Mmhmmm...food :d I enjoyed the cupcake very much, thank you Josey :) Hehe. But it was also a sad day for all of us :( Two very special people, Yuen Yee and Cassie left school and are heading off to Aussie. Well, if you both read this, I hope you'll both enjoy yourselves there and keep in touch! We're all gonna miss you :) Do take care!

Then, the holidays started and it got pretty quiet after a while. All the excitement has died down and I'm running out of things to entertain myself with, besides Naruto, Facebook, Naruto, Facebook and Naruto again ;) I'm cutting down, trust me. Hehe. But, I musn't forget that a special person's special b/day was coming up. Just yesterday, my sis threw her 20th La Hanau :) It was a blast I must say. I never realized how much the atmosphere can change when there's almost 50 people walking around with leis and head garlands. And don't forget the hawaiian-ish music playing outside. That kicked up the mood by x 10 :D The photos will be up soon I hope, that's if Ko-ko Adrian manages to upload those hundreds of photos he took, thanks very much Adrian :)
So I'll take this time to wish the two very important people in my lives a early Happy Birthday? :) Juen Nin and Sandra Lee, you two mean the world to me, Happy be-early Birthday! I hope you'll both read this on the day itself and not one day earlier. (They're b/days on the 8th fyi)
Juen Nin, thanks for being a one-of-a-kind sister to me. I don't think I could've asked for a better one anytime :) So I hope you'll love the gift you get it tomorrow. I'm writing this just incase I run out of words to describe myself to you tomorrow morning, so you can read this as an extra birthday e-Card ;)
Sandra Lee, you awesome possum friend :) Thanks for being the 'rainbow that guards the city below' all this while yea? Hehe. I can't exactly find the words to describe you 'cause there's absolutely too many. But I can promise you they're all the sugar, spice and everything nice; like what Professor Utonium added to his mixture yes? :) Haha, enjoy your b/day pal!

I'll be leaving for Taiwan tomorrow morning. Well it's supposed to be Taiwan. But there'll be some flight transitions and all, so my first flight'll be to Hong Kong, then to Taiwan. Stay there a couple of days then head back to Hong Kong. Stay there for a while and say hi to Mickey Mouse and his Clubhouse, then back here to home sweet home. I'm looking forward to the last part of my description, even before I've started the journey :/ Must be those butterflies working up late in that bloated stomach down there *pats stomach in satisfaction*. The leftovers from last night's buffet was enough to fill me for two whole days, but they were all stuffed down at dinner time :D Hehe. Do pray that I won't get too nauseous on the plane and that hopefully I might even enjoy it (I highly doubt that though). So I bid you all a good nights rest and for those who are going to YF camp, enjoy yourselves :) Save me some marshmallows, if there are any.

*waves hysterically* Nite y'all :)

P/s; this post is updated tonight, all thanks to Josey :) For being such a supportive reader and always checks my blog and reminds me that I haven't updated in a while. Hehe, thank yous! And you're right, piano covers are lovely. Have a good time in HK and China and hopefully we'll bump into each other at HK. :) Ily.

How Many Kings;

2009-11-29T19:14:00.002+08:00

Heard this song in Church today? :) Made me shed some tears, haven't heard such a meaningful song in a while. Hope you'll all enjoy it as much as I did.
Love.

Anime style;

2009-11-26T22:29:00.005+08:00

Meet, Manga Huay :) She's me, anime style. Credits to Ms. Ilham for drawing it for me. I finally got a proper sketch to place on my bedroom wall. I'm sure some of you know what a Naruto Freak I am. I absolutely like Naruto. I used to think it was about a very annoying boy named Naruto, who definitely needed to crack his voice and could definitely use some height spurts. That's what I previously thought. But then I was introduced to Naruto Shippuuden, there's a difference :D They're all grown up and he's tall and his voice has improved a lot, and he's a lot more matured. But overall, Naruto is addictive :O I'm not saying you should be a Naruto Addict too, but there's no harm in watching a couple of episodes that may interest you. You'd never know, Naruto may appeal to your taste. *laughs cheekily*

I always wanted a drawing of me, anime style. I finally got one, thanks to the Math results :) Math does have some advantages after all, and I guess everyone got a good outcome from learning pies and radius.

It was pappa's birthday on Tuesday, and there's your reason for me not updating ;) After all, his birthday was a whole lot more important. Though the cheesecake didn't turn out quite as I expected, but it was tolerable. Everything needs a first time :D And it came along with strawberries and blueberries for deco. One thing I learned about strawberries, never leave them in a fridge, on a cheesecake for too long, it gets rather soft and jelly-ish.
There's so much to plan this end November and December. So packed full with arrangements, presents, birthdays, Christmas, holidays, etc. Life is difficult at times.

I think I'll stop here, one more thing. The character parade today was interesting. I liked 'Jack and the Beanstalk' best :) Yuen Yee deserved it. It was a creative idea, who would've thought of sticking paper leaves on one's self? I think it's pure genius.
G'nite.

P/s; I'm still hoping it'll work out tomorrow. Eventhough it's already 11:33 PM. Miracles do happen :)

Dance and jump to your hearts content;

2009-11-14T22:28:00.008+08:00

Sports Day was seriously awesome. Maybe it's just me, or maybe it's just that. But to me, I've never been to a better Sports Day in my life. Everything and everyone was just so enthusiastic and into their events. It really shows the sportmanship of a school in everything they do. Well, I took part in High Jump and I guess that's pretty much all I can do ;) Next year, hopefully it'll be different and I'll try out for running. Seemed like fun to me *grins*. Though I guess the outcome was alright, getting a silver medal for High Jump was pretty satisfying. I wasn't expecting to win anything at all. Ah well, at least I got to stand on top of those three-leveled thingys where people stand on to receive their medals. That was the fun part, I've never done it before! The pictures will tell pretty much/almost everything that was able to be taken during Sports Day :)

There's too many to label :) But well, these are almost all the Year 8 girls, almost.

Blue Sharks! :)

The March Past; we're all waving balloons! Can you spot me? I'm the girl with the blue balloon in my hand, in the second row from the left, on my left is a dude and on my right is a dudette. And I'm the second last in line :) I'm sure you can spot me.

Zoey Lim :) or should I say Zoeylicious, the secret specialty in making all the poems work out? *hint hint* (Read previous posts to see her talent)

The lovely Fatima :) She's also known as (to me) the professional high-jumper who can make it look so easy?

From the left : Zoey Lim, Joanne Lim, Jessie, Emily Chang and moi :) This picture holds the potential to be the next display picture ;)

There should've been more pictures if only I had took the initiative to bring a camera *makes the unhappy face*. Credits to Natalie Ki for the pictures :)

Interact Night was just as good :) It's a little late notice, Interact Night was about one and a half weeks ago. But it's worth blogging about :D I've never been to one before, (excluding this one) so it was pretty fun for the first time I suppose. I don't suppose I've ever danced my heart out like that before, but with all that music blasting and everyone hopping around, nobody could've resisted. The DJ played some catchy tunes, the performances made the night a blast and all that pizza wouldn't have been able to satisfy an obese hamster *hint hint*. Now I've got that picture stuck in my head :D

Knock knock. Who's there? Amanda. Amanda who? Amanda Hollow :) Okay, I tell pretty lame jokes. Most of you know that about me by now, I tell lame but funny jokes. For example, what do lame people drink? Lamenade :) Get it? Like Lemonade...*laughs at her own joke*.
This is Amanda, the crazy-fun girl who came home with me last, last Friday. Just look at her, it spells out : F-U-N right in the middle.

She looked stunning on the night, we could've taken pictures if it weren't for my inconvenient coincidence where all the cameras in the house were out of batt. And so were the phones :/

Interact Night was interesting, perhaps I'll go for the next one.

And guess what? I updated. I know I haven't been for two weeks, and I apologize. Though I don't think anyone missed my blog :P I have a lot more to say, but it's an altogether different category, so I guess that would mean I'll have to insert it in another post? The upcoming one.

I guess I never got the memo.

2009-11-03T17:34:00.002+08:00

A bird whispered in my ear that;

If the amount of water in your body is reduced by just 1%, you'll feel thirsty.
It is impossible to sneeze and keep one's eye's open at the same time.
55% of people yawn within 5 minutes of seeing someone else yawn.
New Zealand kiwis lay the largest eggs with respect to their body size of any bird.
Laughing lowers levels of stress hormones and strengthens the immune system. Six-year-olds laugh an average of 300 times a day. Adults only laugh 15-100 times a day.
The "save" icon on Microsoft Word shows a floppy disk, with the shutter on backwards.
The name Hollywood comes after an English race horse.
Eskimos use refrigerators to keep food from freezing.
A chalkboard eraser is one of the best ways to wipe a foggy windshield.
Anteaters walk on their knuckles.
98% of Brown Bears are in Alaska.
More people use blue toothbrushes than red ones.
There is enough water in American swimming pools to cover the whole city of San Francisco seven feet deep.
A scallop has 35 blue eyes.
The original name for butterfly was flutterby.
The first penny had the motto "Mind your own business".
The National Anthem for Greece has 158 verses.
"Underground" is the only word in the English language that begins and ends with the letters "und".
Bats always turn left when exiting a cave.
More people are killed by donkeys annually than are killed in plane crashes.

And the bird flew away :) I'm surprised I could understand what it said anyway.

When we look through the photograph albums or reminisce with friends we feel nostalgic for the past. Photograph albums tend to be full of people laughing, having fun and enjoying themselves. The times of difficulty and sadness have been edited out - we don't tend to take pictures of these! This is what sometimes gives the past its rosy hue :)
The past is part of what has made you who you are and it is worth reflecting on and remembering, but the present is what you are living in now and must make the most of! A bit of nostalgia goes a long way.
Nostalgia can also be for the people we once were - the innocence of childhood or the energy of youth. Every season of life presents us with new opportunities and things to learn and appreciate.

I'm so nostalgic! It seem ages ago since I've actually had a nostalgia. I suppose it happens everytime you miss something wonderful that happened in the past. I sure miss my baby years, as well as some of my primary years when everyone was so gullible (including me) and innocent, and the world seemed so BIG and we were just little earthlings in one small part of the huge Mother Earth :/ What more, when you keep moving school a couple of times, you tend to get nostalgia more. I mean, just when you're about to have some savouring memories, it gets cut short and you have to start all over again. It's nice to start over, the anticipation, the anxiety, the excitement of meeting new people and making new friends. But when you start to look through your photo albums or pictures or etc, etc; I'm sure everyone tries to hold back some crooked smiles and bursting laughs.
Though I'm pretty sure this is gonna be one of the last times I'll ever get caught in one again!

Interact Night is in, 2 days everyone! :) I can't hold back my smiles this time, I'm bursting with excitement. Well, kinda. I'll update some interesting pictures up next (minus Singapore, I'm not sure how long I'm going to postpone THAT). And of course there'll be some even more interesting photos on Interact Night next Tuesday.

Give me an L, O, V and E to complete this sentence, you just did :)

You kept me for breakfast :d

2009-10-29T19:03:00.004+08:00

I haven't updated properly for the past few weeks, I don't think it's just me, but is just purely the truth. I've been neglecting Blogger, and now I feel bad. Whatever happened to the blogger addict who used to update 4 posts a day? Well, not that I miss that addict, but you can see the drastic change of a update freak and a non-update freak :/

I'm going to give up posting up the Singapore pics, I've been promising that in 3 posts already and I still have yet to do so. I should probably just speak what the outcome that would most possibly happen and not the other way round :)

So here are some updates on what's happening in and out of school;

Interact Night is in 7 days :) I will tell all of you frankly, I've never been to a "night out" before. If you know what I mean, like dances and stuff :D But I guess I'll be trying this one out for the very first time, and you have absolutely no idea how excited I am :)
Interact Week is up next week. Interact club will be selling 4 different coloured ribbons; blue, green, red and yellow, each symbolizing different charities, etc. :) I'll prolly try to buy all four, that's if I can.
I've been smelling mangoes in the house this whole week.
I got FACEBOOK! :)
Doing high jump for Sports Day.
I named my pet in Pet Society, ProCon :)
Math Test tmrw, let's do the math!
The anenometer is soaked from the rain, but yet it's still spinning and catching the wind speed.
Amanda and Cassie are coming over next friday for a day, then we're heading for Interact Night together! Woootttss.
Captainball on Saturday please?

That'll be my update for this week :) Next week will be a slightly more promising post, kaythankslater :)

I finally got facebook, after what seemed like many years, I finally did get it. I suppose it's pretty much what I expected :) A place where you connect and share with the people in your life, quote unquote Facebook. Facebook is probably the most visited web page now on this computer, the first html code that I click once I go on the internet :)
I don't think I got facebook before this 'cause I wasn't interested, I wasn't exactly huffing and puffing all over it, I was pretty contented with Twitter and Msn for the time being, but I guess when I got the chance to; I thought of giving it a go. And whaddya know? It actually worked out :)
Some of you might say : Obviously *sweat face*
Some might say : Good for you! About time too :)
And I'll move on to,

TWITTER;

Twitter is without a doubt the best way to share and discover what is happening right now.

Yes :) Indeed it is true! Twitter has been my loyal up-to-date friend all this while, updating me on what's happening with who and what. It's useful at times, but some people consider it stalking. Hmmmm. As long as you don't use it for that purpose, Twitter is pretty much just for communication reasons :) The disadvantage : you can only type 140 characters whereas in Facebook you can type 2 million, *laughs to self*

PLURK;

A social journal for you life

Okay, plurk is no longer on my 'got to visit' list nemore :) Infact, I haven't touched it in a while. Hehe.
Last but not least,

MSN;

has been the most loyal of all :) Getting it since I was the small 8 till the not so big 13, it has remained the BEST chat spot for me ever. It never fails to let me keep in touch with long lost friends and those who still remain constantly with me :)
Only one thing, I keep getting disconnected, but even then it's not MSN's fault. Thanks to my super 'lauyah' internet connection, MSN doesn't work as well as it should. But eitherways MSN remains the best :)

That's pretty much my update, Singapore pictures up next.

A week of summer weather;

2009-10-20T19:39:00.003+08:00

On Monday up in the open sky,
The bright sun rises up so high.

Tuesday's the day we slurp our smoothies,
And make sure we wear our sunnies.

On Wednesday we play summer games,
And we; best friends dress up the same!

Thursday we made ice cream,
And gave some to the boys on the football team.

Friday's heat gave us sun burn,
So mum taught us a lesson that we learned.

Saturday we went to the pool,
And it so happened to make us cool.

Summer ended on a Sunday,
And we hope it will soon come our way.

Originally written by Zoey and Huey Nin :)
If you actually counted, each and every sentence is 17 syllables long, hehehe.

And here's one I wrote myself about the four seasons in the year;

Spring's the time of the year,
When all things cheer.
Everyone wakes up with a happy heart,
And makes sure the windows aren't shut.

Summer's when we head out to play,
Fortunately it's still only May.
I grab my lunch box and a popsicle,
And start to sort my mind that's fickled.

Autumn isn't what it may seem,
The leaves are falling and aren'ts as green.
I grab my broom and start to sweep,
Hopefully the wind won't blow my heap.

Winter makes my nose go blue,
And I start to get a very bad flu.
The minute I can jump out of bed,
I go the garage and get my sledge.

All this poetry is starting to make me wonder if I'd much rather be a poet, than a philosopher; /writer :) *scratches scalp*

And yes, I'm back from Singapore, the place for shopaholics to shop to their hearts content. Though I'm not one of them, I think. Pictures of Singapore will be up in the next post, hopefully.
Bye :)

The window panes say;

2009-10-14T21:27:00.003+08:00

This week has been passing pretty fast hasn't it? Or is it just me? To me, it just seemed like yesterday that it was Sunday, and now it's already Wednesday. Time flies, super fast :)
Leaving for Singapore this Friday, morning, 10 am, Air Asia, coming back on Sunday, probably going to the Night Safari on Friday night, etc. The only reason why I'm stating all these facts it because; it just happened to turn out that Richard is going for exactly the same flight, same day, same day coming home and most probably even the same places. I would call that perfect coincidence ;)

So far the week has been pretty good, swimming wasn't too bad. At least I didn't drown this time, but I still barely know how to do free-style properly. These silly legs of mine won't kick out of the water, whereas my head is most happy to pop out at the most inappropriate time. But it was a good experience, at least I'm getting a hang at it. Compared to the previous case of the Guinness World Record of bad swimming, I have improved a little :) I'm satisfied, hopefully one day I'll end up being able to make it across the entire stretch of chlorine without a board and with my legs kicking properly.

I'll be off to bed now, perhaps I'll update somemore tomorrow, since I didn't exactly get to blog very much ;)
Love.

Out of the million languages;

2009-10-09T19:49:00.006+08:00

Hallo! (And that's in Dutch, surprisingly) I've ran out of topics to blog about, so I've decided to just add a little more humour to my blog :) Enjoy these pictures, and don't ask me where I got them from (hehehe).

There's only 21 more hours for you to vote on the G. I. Joe vs. Transformers poll. If you would like to change your vote or just vote; do it pronto :) Time waits for no man.

I'm feeling ecstatic. Feeling ecstatic is to be 'on top of the world, looking down on creation' as the song goes. We have achieved something sensational. A puzzle piece has fallen into place. What we have really wanted has happened. Good news has been heard. Feeling ecstatic is catching. We can spread our joy and excitement to others or share in theirs.

Feeling ecstatic is a high in life - keep hold of the feeling and remember it even when it has passed.

I guess you're wondering what I'm so ecstatic about. Well, I'm just feeling that way. No particular reason actually, but come to think of it; tomorrow is a fulll-booked day for me. I should catch my sleep and brace myself, or, I could just continue blogging and chatting away like nobodies business :) Anyway, enjoy the comical pics :

Hope you enjoyed each and everyone of them :) I find them all pretty amusing. As for that, I'm off to join my parents for the last bit of Midsomer Murders where the whole plot is revealed and when the murderer admits it's HIM! :D Hehehe.

Nitey all, time to "oink oink".

A cup of tea;

2009-10-06T21:13:00.006+08:00

on a Sunday morning and a LIT meeting.

This would be sandralee, a human being who means a lot to me :) And also avoids H1N1 germs by pulling her shirt up that high, to me she looks like a DIGI astronaut :D

That's me, drinking tea at LIT. It was tasty until someone, spat some saliva into it *shakes head in dissapointment*.

Out normal or not so normal avoid evil pictures :) For example, see no evil. Well apparently the camera was evil, so I suppose she couldn't look at it :P

Speak no evil. Well, we didn't. At least we try not to :)

Hear no evil. See that black patch at the side there? It's due to a broken camera lens, and after that particular LIT meeting, the whole camera broke down. I am serious, my camera is broken, spoilt, cacat, gone. Looks like I have a good reason to get a new one, that won't break that easily :)

Smell no evil. Technically speaking, isn't she smelling her own finger? :/

Feel no evil. Ahah! She, didn't touch the table :)

Well, I did.
End of the avoid evil photos :)

So far everyone who has seen this picture thinks it was natural, but to be honest. It was fake, we were acting. But Sandra does look convincing enough, what with the whole, *gasps* look :D

I just enjoy patting her head, it feels comforting at times. Like a fluffy pillow :)

I did feel uncomfortable, literally.

Ahah! Seeee, I told you I could make one eyebrow go above the other :) Practice does help.

The conclusion; Sandralee is the best take fake not natural photo person I have ever met :) In other words, she's a GeREAT person; no matter how much saliva she spits into your tea cup, teaches you how to dance like a chicken/duck, takes two lemangs and asks you to take another two for her, calls you Alex and laughs when you call her Ben, she's still the very best :) I'm pretty sure I've said this a million times before, but I'll say it again; Sandralee, i wuff you.

And here are another two people who are the Cheer You Up people :) P/s; Cheer You Up is a shirt, or a design for a shirt, something like that :) Credits to tammyho and her camera for the pictures, and Li Ann as well for taking them and not being inside them *scratches scalp* :)

Look at the aeroplane, can you see it? I promise you there was one on that Sunday that flew above our very heads :)

We tried, we really did. A jump shot where I'm hardly above the ground and Sandralee looks like she's jumping over a fence. Tammy is a starfish with one leg up, and Deb is a full starfish with a Cheer You Up shirt on! I told you it was a shirt :)

The wonderful, lovable Tammyho :)

And Sandralee jumping over the fence again :D And I'm at the back there taking off my shoes, what a disgrace *laughs to self*.

And the two very good buddies, Deb and Tammy :)

That ends my post today everyone, hope you enjoyed looking at the pictures, and imagined yourself inside them :)

G'nite.

Fate;

2009-10-02T21:50:00.005+08:00

Definitions of fate;

Fate is a power that some people believe controls and decides everything that happens, in a way that cannot be prevented or changed. You can also refer to the fates.

A person's or thing's fate is what happens to them.

If something seals a person's or thing's fate, it makes it certain that they will fail or that something unpleasant will happen to them.

And that's the google dictionary definition of fate. I recently just read a book called 'Just In Case', based on a story of a boy of fifteen who thinks that fate is going to haunt him for the rest of his life, believes that whatever he does will end up as something unpleasant and cruel. Honestly, I won't ever read that book again, or maybe I will when I'm older. It's well written, but certainly not a positive book. I'm not even sure what the ending was supposed to mean. Did he die in the end? Did he get a happy ending? Did he get rid of the silly notion in his head that fate was actually seeking to destroy his life? The ending doesn't specifically mention an ending, but I have a feeling it wasn't a happy one.
If anyone is off to buy this book and read it, I suggest that you set a mind set that tells you; this is just a story, don't believe anything it says. 'Cause what I say is true, never believe everything you read. They might not be true, or it might be. No matter how true it is, it doesn't help to add one more idea of fate into your head. I wouldn't encourage anyone to read this unless you're ready to read something so dark and mystical.
Enough said, it's really not my choice to tell you to read it or not. Just an advice or two to be careful to choose wisely what you read, I shan't touch it once more till I feel like it in the future, but for now I have no plans on doing so again. It was one, very dark, book.

Now the happy part :) Let's meet the fat rabbit. And I'm not being mean by calling it fat, because that's the name of the rabbit. Fat Rabbit. Isn't it just so; interesting :)

I skyped with kathrynyu just a few minutes ago. And it was good catching up :) The video finally worked and I could actually see her moving, in like a year? It was good to see her, her looks have changed and so has her voice. She has an adorable toy poodle named RUSS. The next session is next week, Wednesday, 6.00 pm Malaysian time. Hehehehe.
What do you give a sick lemon? Lemonaid.
You can laugh now. *laughs hysterically* Well, so far everyone I've told that joke to has gotten it, I hope you have too.

I'm not exactly in the blogging mood today, it just turns out to be in my schedule today, so I'm in a yes or no situation.
One of the highlights for today is; Leisure Mall is upgrading. And it just so happens to be when my family and I are relocating to Mont Kiara. Somewhere pretty far away from Cheras. Which means less time in Leisure Mall and more time in Mid Valley or Pavillion D: Sighs. I've always enjoyed going to Leisure Mall, what with the Speedy Video shop, the Golden Screen Cinemas, the Popular bookshop, the Vietnamese Kitchen restaurant, the two outlets of Secret Recipe :d The worst part is, the food court renovated and became some super modern one with Big Apple Donuts and White Coffee Old Town, alone with Sakae Sushi and Boston. Oh dear, I'm feeling heartbroken right now. It's not exactly the nicest thing in the world to move house, especially so far away from the area you grew up in. But it's not so bad when you come to think of it, everyone needs change in their life too.

I'm in the mood for Pink Panther 2, so perhaps I shan't waste my time sitting here infront of the screen (I'm moving to another screen) and typing my fingers away. I'll start using my eyes and ears more now, instead of just my fingers :D

G'nighty all :)

What Am I?

2009-09-29T20:33:00.008+08:00

I am nothing but a human. A normal human. Who really enjoys eating mooncakes :d

I have a secret to share with you, ssshhhh...quiet down. Lean closer, or I'll keep my mouth shut :) Ready?
I'm in the blogging mood.
Yes, that's my huge secret. Can't you tell? I'm a little on the talkative side now, so do bear with me :/

I'll start off with my events since the start of the weekend. Saturday was simply pure amusement. Not to mention a RM 5 helium balloon floating away and an abandoned cat with a collar lying on the steps of the Church. The helium balloon managed to escape my grasps. It all started with a nonsensical game, here's how it goes; "Whoever catches the helium balloon first is the winner :)". So all of us got ready to catch the helium balloon, but someone hit it by accident and the balloon flew out of our reach and we had no choice but to just stand there and watch helplessly as it floated higher and higher and became somewhat like a tiny pimple on the Earth's surface. By now it'd probably be just a blackhead, or perhaps it has burst because of the air pressure, or a pigeon may have pecked it and it burst, but whatever it's fate was; it's definitely down on the ground by now. Perhaps some kid who wanted a deflated balloon looked up into the sky and saw this sheet of aluminium/plastic floating down and plops down on it's head. I'm sure it's in good hands by now :)

As for the abandoned cat, I take back my words. That particular case was definitely not pure amusement. It was a matter of life and death; I'm being overly melodramatic but anyhows it is the truth. Heading back to the car with a happy smile on my face, it all turned to a worried frown on my face. A adorable cat with bright blue eyes was just perched right there, on the staircase looking pitifully at the passerbys. There was a collar attached around it's neck, but there was no name or address to return it to. My conclusion was that it was abandoned by it's owner because I'm afraid that it may actually have been one-eyed-blind. My parents and I were being placed in the middle of 'take it home with us and give it milk' or 'leave it there and hopefully its owner will find it'. It was a hard decision, but in the end we decided to let someone else take care of it. Not that we didn't want to help it, but because we weren't too sure about taking care of it. We weren't ready I guess :/ I'm not too sure what exactly happened to it after we went home, but I'm hoping (very hard) that someone took it home and cared for it :) It was a really pretty cat, blue eyes and I'm guessing it was a Siamese Cat. What more, it's ears are so unique! :D

And so that was my weekend. Sunday was just pure awkward. What with a uncomfortable topic spoken for an hour, I'm not too sure if I exactly enjoyed listening to it. Not that the message wasn't true, but I suppose since I'm still a little too young to accept all that info into my head, I'm still sticking to more general topics first. Maybe next year I'll begin to be more accepting to it :)

Oh, but I did have the Monday blues. I absolutely dislike having Monday blues, it just makes me feel all nervous and uncomfy inside, I don't know why. But I'm not the only one; just when everyone is beginning to start the holiday mood, it's back to the usual work, work, work routine where we have to start waking up at 6 in the morning and come back at 4, including no French toast or Maggi Mee for breakfast, and especially not an omelette D: Life has it's ups and downs, advantages and disadvantages, black and white, fork and spoon, Romeo and Juliet, peanut butter and jelly, Hansel and Gretel, and the list goes on and on :)

.

Eventhough I'm in the blogging mood, it does make me wonder if sometimes I'm merely blogging just to keep my blog alive, or really because I enjoy it. I'm sticking to choice (b), 'cause I prefer to enjoy doing whatever I'm doing, not because I have to but because I want to. I sound so "long winded" now, *whistles*.

Today is Naruto Day everyone, and this is because Joanne and I have made it up. I can't believe I'm actually into this anime character now, never was, now am. Perhaps it's because of the environment I'm in, everyone's talking about Naruto and I get drawn into it and starts googling about it, and finds it rather amusing because there are 300 over episodes of just talking and more talking. *draws breathe* Precisely what I meant. The storyline's actually pretty okay, just that I don't really fancy Naruto's voice. I mean, you wouldn't have expected a character that looked like him to suddenly give out a sound that sounded exactly like a whiny girl. Hhmmmm; it's strange to think that came out of a boy character. But I do hope that his voice changes in the later episodes (hopefully).

I had swimming classes yesterday, and talk about epic failure D: My swimming = disgrace + lauyah + tak tahu swim jangan swim lah. Even one of the coaches himself said, "Huey Nin, you are hopeless." I do hope he didn't mean it, whatever he said, but I suppose it's the truth. I do want to get better at swimming at least, I mean. I don't want to remain a fish out of water for the rest of my life. I would prefer to be a frog, or a swan, or maybe just a goldfish :)
Feeling inadequate about it. When we feel inadequate then we feel we are in the wrong place at the wrong time doing the wrong thing. We are not up to the task. We do not have the skills or the competence. Our confidence plummets and we become even more incapable of doing what is needed.
We can't all be good at everything. We all have different talents and skills. Part of getting to know yourself is finding out what you're good at and when it is that you need other people with different talents to help and support you.
Sometimes our ability to diversify is much greater than we imagine, and although we are not very good at something we are perfectly able to be competent if we put our minds to it. Sometimes we put a block on our own development by saying to ourselves, 'I could never do that - I would be hopeless', instead of giving it a go. Perhaps we should turn it around and say, 'I could do that if I tried- I have hope'. :)
And that is my prediction of swimming. I'm just going to have to attend each swimming class whenever I can and try to learn how to do the strokes properly, put my heart into it and do my best :) Woohoo; easier said than done.

I'm typing so much, my fingers are aching. Who knew that blogging could bring out this much? Or more like I could bring out this much.

I'd better get a move on. Learned 'Everyday I Love You' on the piano just now :) It brings joy to my ears. *tears dramatically* I'm off to eat mooncakes now, lotus flavour, yummmm :d

'Cause if one day you wake up and find;

2009-09-25T19:53:00.006+08:00

This is specially meant for Anderson; if he's reading this :D Well, this is 'The Man Who Can't Be Moved'. Listen and enjoy! :)
P/s; The Eiffel Tower is too dangerous! Do you know how serious the French can be about their public monuments? :D Perhaps we should go for something smaller first ;)

I know, all of you must think : Huey Nin likes the Jonas Brothers?
I used to like them, a lot. But I got over them a while ago, so I'm just recommending one particular song; The Pizza Girl. It's really catchy, and it may seem silly at first but it'll soon get to your head and you won't stop humming to it.
Just a random prediction (happened to me).

.

I am proud to announce that I have finished decorating the ECO box :)
The following picture is the rough sketch that I submitted for judging first. Then I was given the privilege to design the front of the box :D So, overall it's a happy ending.

The Rough Sketch. I call the little people above the words; Earth People :)

And the final work :) Pretty proud of it, hehe. First time I managed to actually do something properly! *grins to self*

Here's how I really feel about it;
Life can be delightful and filled with joy. Feeling delighted is child-like in its simplicity as an emotion. Something simple will light up your heart and fill it with brightness.
People, places, music, art and drama can all bring us delight and transport us to another world. We can laugh, and wonder and clap out hands in astonishment and delight.
Seek opportunities for delight and that brightness can permeate your life.

Exactly and precisely what I think about it :)
Love.

Transformers vs. G. I. Joe;

2009-09-25T19:03:00.002+08:00

Everyone, attention :) I know both of these movies are probably out of the cinema's already, and most of you have watched it AGES ago. But right now, I'd like to have a vote on which show is better :D Sandralee supports G. I. Joe, and I support Transformers. So I'd like an honest opinion on which movie was better. Here are the two official trailers, and you can vote on the poll on the sidebar or just leave a comment.
P/s; Support TRANSFORMERS!

I'll start off with the Transformer Trailer, after all; it is the better one sandralee ;) *ahem ahem* Sure there are a few faults in it, but I can name about 10 faults (though I only told you 3) of G. I. Joe :P Enough said.

And, G. I. Joe. I told you their suits look like plastic, really! Take a close look :) I admit that G. I. Joe is really action packed and keeps the tension, but Transformer's really is better overall :) How many of you agree with me? *millions of hands raise up*. Just joking.

Remember to leave a comment on this post or vote on the poll in the sidebar okay?
That's pretty much all I have to say.
Love.

Tony Roma's;

2009-09-22T20:52:00.004+08:00

is very yummy :d And very big portions too!

Salut! :) It's been a while since I have updated some interesting facts, so I shall start off with 20 cool facts;

According to scientific studies, a rat's performance in a maze can be improved by playing music written by Mozart.
Children grow faster in the springtime than any other season during the year.
Like fingerprints, everyone's tongue print is different.
80% of millionaires drive used cars.
Bamboo plants can grow up to 36 inches in a day.
Rubberbands last longer when refrigerated (I'm not sure how many of you know this, but I find this very amusing).
In New York City, approximately 1, 600 people are bitten by other humans every year.
Most dust particles in your house come from dead skin.
A sneeze travels out your mouth at over 100 m.p.h.
There are 92 known cases of nuclear bombs lost at sea.
Over 98% of Japanese people are cremated after they die.
There are 365 steps on the front of the U.S. Capitol Building - one for every day of the year.
In Tokyo, a bicycle is faster than a car for most trips of less than 50 minutes.
A male baboon can kill a leopard.
The venom of a small scorpion is much more toxic than the venom of a large scorpion.
The average office worker spends 50 minutes a day looking for lost files and other items.
A spider's silk is stronger than steel.
Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour.
The lense of the eye continues to grow throughout a person's life.
During his lifetime, artist Vincent Van Gogh only sold one of his paintings.

And that's pretty much all the interesting facts for today :)

I watched G. I. Joe for the first time today, and I'm surprised it's still in cinemas. Well, only one cinema at least :D I can't say very much about it because I definitely do not want to become a movie critic, but I can say that it's absolutely no in any way better than Transformers.
I shall remain silent about it, but I'm still going to remain a loyal Transformer Fan :) But I'm more satisfied than I thought I'd be, hahaha.

Unfortunately for me, my four days of pure pleasure is over. Tomorrow I'm going back to school, no more waking up at 10.30 in the morning with Chewy Juniors for breakfast, etc. It's good to go back there and learn new things again, but it wouldn't have hurt to have another 5 days of relaxation right? :/
I'm still feeling rather envious of other kids, who have another 5 more days. But at least I don't have final exams after it; *syok sendiri*; just joking :) I'm looking on the bright side, I'm back to more hashbrowns and mutton rice :d All I can ever think about is foooood.

I'll end here, good nightey y'all.
Sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite :)

The marshmallow test;

2009-09-21T17:43:00.010+08:00

Easier said than done ;)

The original "marshmallow test" was conducted at Stanford in the late 1960s by a researcher named Walter Mischel. Each four-year-old in the study was given one marshmallow and told that he could eat it now, in which case he would only have one, or he could wait for the adult to come back into the room fifteen minutes later, in which case he could have two marshmallows. Some kids downed the treat immediately, many waited a short time and then caved, while around thirty percent held out for the doubly sweet reward. Mischel has followed these subjects over the decades and found that the ones who delayed gratification had higher grades, higher SAT scores, and fared better as teenagers with healthier friendships.

Love.

To top it off :)

2009-09-18T23:53:00.003+08:00

Just to top it off, I shall end my day with a quote or two :)

Pure pleasure;

2009-09-18T17:08:00.003+08:00

I've always loved reading books, since I was the small 6 till the (not that BIG) 13 :) And, since then I've been collecting books. Naming about all the common and not so common titles of books, from A-Z, from Peter & Jane to The Star of Kazan. Well, I have to admit that I'm pretty proud of my mini library :) So far I've filled up 3 shelves, and when we move house; I want a bookshelf right next to my bed, I'm just filling my head with to-do's.

Obsessed with books and hoping to be obsessing myself even more in the next 4 days of pure pleasure :) Pretty short, but satisfying. Changing back to an international school again has it's disadvantages. Like, I didn't have the government holiday today (mao), and next week I only have Monday and Tuesday off.

I'm just looking on the bright side, I might be going for a movie and swimming at EC's house, or some shopping time with my mum. I don't exactly LOVE shopping, but it's pretty fun at times. I have changed my view point on things : I used to hate shopping, then I began to dislike shopping, then I found it pretty tolerable, and now I actually find it pretty fun at times :) It's amazing how a human mind changes it's viewpoints on things :D

I'm running off target, so as I was saying : I'm looking on the bright side :) I get to miss swimming class! Not that I dislike swimming, but I'm still not too confident about doing proper 1 hour classes in school, along with other professional swimmers when I can barely do free-style. I'm such a disgrace when it comes to swimming, *slaps self*.

There are many more reasons, but I suppose I can't name all of them out at once right? :)

Back to the books; here are three books that I got today, and I can't express how much I adore them. Adding to my mini library gives me pure joy, especially when I line them up according to the ones I like best to the ones I like but not the best ;) Once you read the title of the book and the summary on the back, it gives you an idea on the type of story it is. So, enjoy browsing through them.

I have to thank my marmie for having such a good taste in books. Without her, I think I might be making the wrong choice of books that would interest me :) Or at least teach me something new. Sometimes I admit I wish I could read those books that make me look at the summary twice, but when I think twice, my marmie's better at making decisions when it comes to good or bad; right and wrong.

My mum especially likes looking at the 'Award-Winning' Section. Where there are all these books that have won the Newberry Award, Costa Award, Nestle Award, and the list goes on and on. Sometimes I feel like I'm reading such boring books that nobody ever reads, but when I finish the story and flip the last page, I feel a sense of satisfaction that I don't think I'd feel if I read those books. So yes, I'm sticking to the adventure/fantasy/romance/humorous kind off books :D

Does the cover appeal to you? Perhaps not, the first thought that may cross your mind is : This book looks so weird, why would there be a good story in it? And, I'd much rather read a Meg Cabot specialty or another Stephenie Meyer rated book :)

But when you think a little longer about it, you'll realize that there are billions of other books out there that want to be read as well :) So I'm just going to stick to my senses and read a good book, no matter how weird or un-interesting the cover may be.

This is the book that made me think I'd gone loco. I admit that I've never really read many books such as the one above, so this may be the very few that I've ever read before. But, after going to Beijing; or should I say Peking; I have learned so much about the history of China. So I was thinking that if I ever came across a book that had something to do with the hard life of China, I would like to experience it.

And it so happened that today my mum saw this book and showed it to me. At first glance I was about to put it back on the shelf, but then I decided to have a closer look :) And I found that it has quite an appealing storyline, so I decided it'd be a good chance to widen my range of books. Hehe.

.
These are the two current books that I'm obsessing myself with. Re-reading them both for the third time, *grins*. They're the type of books that make you crave for them once again, and I promise you that you'll never get bored of these two books :)

Dragonskin Slippers, and

Dragon Flight :) Perhaps I shouldn't have enlarged the picture ;D

I'm hoping to get my hands on the next book : Dragon Spear. But somehow I can't find it anywhere, I'll check it out next time :)

I'll end here, will update again later.

Love.

You Can,

2009-09-15T21:27:00.007+08:00

Take me where I've never been
Help me on my feet again
Show me that good things come
To those who wait

Tell me I'm not on my own
Tell me I won't be alone
Tell me what I'm feeling isn't some mistake
'Cause if anyone can make me fall in love, you can

Save me from myself, you can
And it's you and no one else
If I could wish upon tomorrow
Tonight would never end

If you asked me, I would follow
But for now I'll just pretend
'Cause if anyone can make me fall in love, you can

Baby, when you look at me
Tell me what do you see?
Are these the eyes of someone
You could love?

'Cause everything that brought me here
Well, not it all seems so clear
Baby, you're the one that I've been dreaming of
If anyone can make me fall in love, you can

Save me from myself, you can
And it's you and no one else
If I could wish upon tomorrow
Tonight would never end

If you asked me I would follow
But for now I'll just pretend
'Cause if anyone can make me fall in love

Only you can take me sailing in your deepest eyes
Bring me to my knees and make me cry
And no one's ever done this
Everything was just a lie and I know, yes, I know

This is where it all begins
So tell me it will never end
I can't fool myself
It's you and no one else

If I could wish upon tomorrow
Tonight would never end
If you asked me I would follow
But for now I'll just pretend
If anyone can make me fall in love, you can

Show me that good things come
To those who wait

Sighs, some people say that pictures can tell a whole story. But I think songs are even better at story-telling, eventhough they are using words. At least it's not written out word by word, but more like a rhythm that makes you hear the story out loud :)
At least that's my opinion on it at least.

I decided to come up with something creative for once, so here goes :

Here are how I pronounced words when I was younger and how they're supposed to be pronounced :)

Negaraku, tanah tumpahnya darahku;
Rakyat hidup, bersatu dan maju.
Rahmat bahagia, Tuhan kurniakan.
Raja kita selamat bertakhta.

Negaralu, tahan tumpangnya darahmu;
Rakylat hidut, bersangku dan maju.
Rahmat bahgia, Tuhan kurniachan.
Rajah kita selamat bertakta.

And, the Negaraku song was sung like that, by me, in that very way, until I was about 8. *blushes* At least I learned my lesson along the way :D

I'd better get to bed now. Spending only two hours in school today and the rest of the day at home sleeping wasn't exactly the best experience :/ And all due to my carelessness on the lack of sleep. Argh, sleep is so important to me, but why don't I feel like it at night? Perhaps I should post this question up on Yahoo!Questions. Perhaps they'll come up with a Yahoo!Answer ;)

Good nitey y'all.

50th Anniversary;

2009-09-15T19:46:00.003+08:00

Dished up some pictures I took on the 50th Anniversary. I miss that night, the memories, the flash-backs, the photos, the friends and family, the food, the everything :) Well, let's hope these are appropriate for my description ;)

That is my sandralee :) Who wore her overly, but very nice; formal dress, or maybe it was just me who was inappropriately dressed :/ I'm not too sure.

That is tammyho :) Bad lighting; I knew my camera was faulty (the lenses are a lil' broken neway).

Kyralynn :) Look at her smile, it just makes me feel like smiling too :D I'm not too sure why though; but perhaps this in an example of someone who has an intoxicating smile *scratches scalp*.

Richard; who has an intoxicating smile as well :) Surprisingly, everytime he wears specs I don't, and when he doesn't I do. Not all the time, but it's a rough guess :/

Lastly, but none the less, deborah lor; who is being squished in the middle by two girls :)

That's pretty much it, will update some more factual updates later, after dinner most likely. The rice isn't cooked yet, as usual *frowns*.

What do you get when you;

2009-09-11T18:06:00.004+08:00

fall in love,
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble.
That's what you get for all your trouble.
I'll never fall in love again (2x)

What do you get when you kiss a guy?
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia.
After you do, he'll never call ya.
I'll never fall in love again (2x)

CHORUS
Dont' tell me what it's all about.
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out.
Out of those chains,
Those chains that bind you.
That is why I'm here to remind you.

What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow.
Sor for at least until tomorrow,
I'll never fall in love again (2x)

This song goes back ages ago. My parents used to sing this song when they were young :) I'm currently learning it now during Music Class in school. It's got a pretty catchy tune, so ask your parents if they know this song and perhaps they'll sing it for you :)

I have been in elc for two weeks now, and the results are good :) Everything is going pretty well, and I'm glad it is. The only complain is TF or WB or whatever they nicknamed him, it's really getting on my nerves :/ That's what I call immaturity. I shouldn't complain because smiles are better than frowns. So everyone :). I shall continue to be very optimistic and positive in this school now, because life is much better when it's sunny.

Love.

Imagine this;

2009-09-11T17:27:00.003+08:00

It's been a week since I've updated, and my blog isn't dead yet :) I have been away from my blog for a month before, so this one week is nothing *ROFL* First announcement, I have made up my own symbol. Perhaps if I text/write to you when I'm sad, you may receive this emoticon : Y.Y
Doesn't that look more like a crying face than T.T (it does). So, I have made my own emoticon, whoopedoo :)

Kathryn Yu has a SIM card, after having about a billion years without a SIM card but with an awesome phone there (the same model as Daniels), she finally got one! And, that makes it another thing on my 'want to do' list. Which reminds me, I'm going to update you on 10 'want to do's' and 10 'don't want to do's' :

Firstly, the wants :) I want to send kathrynyu a text from my phone to her phone through a satellite dish or radio signals or any telecommunication service, just so as long as she receives my text :) And, this includes making it a 20 sen text instead of a 4 ringgit one, which I haven't figured out how to do yet. Roaming? But, eitherways she will get a text. *firm face*
I want to go for the Halloween dance that is being held next month. I want to go dress shopping, but I suppose I'll just stick to a skirt first :) I'm telling you : elc loves to dance ;D In one term, we already have two dances. A Halloween one and a Christmas one, whoopedoo.
I want to start over, my life feels really unhappy now, not THAT unhappy but not the best mood. Eitherways, I'll just have to move on and go with the flow :)
I want to go watch G.I. Joe and see how bad people's taste can be. Those Transformer Die Hard fans who actually said that G. I. Joe was better, change your genre a lil'. Tranformer's is unbeatable, unless you mean LOTR (Lord of The Rings). But it's not under the same category so...exception :)
I want to finish up all these homework books and papers that are literally piling up on my desk. I can hardly rest my hand on it, that serious actually :/
I want to go and get another swimsuit. It has to be a completely pure black one (I hope a lil' design) and has to be a one piece. My current one isn't a bikini, but more like a shirt and shorts, sigh. I'll still have to go and get one or I won't be able to go swimming next Tues. You three watch out :) I'm going to become a pro swimmer with swimming every week now, ahahahah. Just jokin'.
I want to eat my Bakin' Boys soft cookie now, I'm hungry *rubs tummy*.
I want to go back to bed, sleeping for 1 and a 1/2 hours isn't good enough; sadly.
I want to go to an arcade and play one of those racing cars. You may think I'm crazy, but it is really amusing :) Once, I got 4th place and made it through the 3 laps! Woohoo :D Li Jene was there, was it great or what?
I want to play the piano. My fingers are stiff and I need to release my tension :) What's worse, in two weeks time I'll know if I'm repeating Grade 7 or moving on to Grade 8. The tension is seeping into me D:

I'm going to skip the 'don't wants' because I'm feeling really tired of thinking of what I don't want to do :) So, lookie here, it's time for the Bakin' Boy's cookies.

Be right back, after chocolate praline oozing out from everywhere! ;)

A Wild Cat for A Wife

2009-09-04T15:17:00.004+08:00

Hi. This week's been a rather long one. Today was my third day in elc international school, and so far it's been really fruitful :) I've made some friends, they're just one very huge group of girls from different classes who hangout together during break and lunch.
I'm feeling really satisfied so far. The teacher's a great, so are the students. And the syllabus is really comforting. As you all know, my BM is really rotten. So now that I've changed back to an international school, I don't feel so stressed out with the idea of having every subject taught in BM. For now, it's just the subject BM that's in that very hard to get language ;D The best part is, they have yummy food *sticks out tongue*.

Literature is intriguing. Did you know that Shakespeare's wife was called Anne Hathaway? So ironic. Anne Hathaway is named after a famous poet/writer's wife. That's a keeper :D
Shakespeare's stories are always romantic + tragedy. And even though it's a tragedy, they're all really well written. But so far, I like "A Wild Cat for A Wife" best. Another name for it is "The Taming of The Shrew". It's a complete romantic comedy, and I absolutely love reading it. I've read it through twice now. I'm glad it's one of the stories that I'll be learning this year, geeeereat.
Literature is 20 % of English, quite a high percentage no?

One of the very funny things that happened today was the iodine solution. The setting will be in the science lab, where my science teacher, Mr. Nicolaus (who has a very very strong Dutch accent), was teaching us how to find the presence of starch and glucose with the iodine and Benedict solution, etc. So, we dropped a little iodine on the potato wedges and they turned this really dark shade of blue. It looked so disgusting, like someone just poisoned it with very visible poison ;D Just re-imaging it in my mind makes me feel nauseous (no kidding).

As you can see, I'm feeling very enthusiastic about this whole situation.
If we have no enthusiasm for things, life would be dull indeed. Our enthusiasm fires us to do the things we enjoy and puts us on our life path. It drives out hobbies and interests.
People who are enthusiastic encourage us and are rewarding to be with because they're enthusiasm is catching.
There are quite a number of enthusiastic people in elc, and I'm hoping to become more enthusiastic as well :)
Life is so catchy at times, if only it was more like this.

I'm still missing you SG people of course :) It'd be even better if you all were here with me, *sad face*. I promise to visit, once in a while. And, keep me updated, *capish?

*capish means understood.

This will roughly be my update on school today. When I get more ideas to blog about, I'll just enter more post(s). Easy enough :)

Breathing it out;

2009-09-01T18:47:00.004+08:00

I'm starting a new school tomorrow, an altogether new school. Just saying and breathing that word makes me feel a little strange. Sure, I'm excited and all. But there are so many thoughts and ideas in my mind now that I feel a little stressed out.
I'm sure you all know that feeling. Your mind feels too pre-occupied and you're hoping to sleep it off, but it doesn't work. I'm feeling that right now. I just hope it goes away.

Starting a new school isn't easy I suppose, at least not as easy as I would've wished it'd be like. But it won't be so hard too :) I'm trying to feel optimistic about it, and I'm setting a mind set to be glad for all I have and just go with the flow. That's one of my favourite phrases to say, it makes me feel like I'm drifting happily down a river with some waterfalls and whirlpools that I'll be able to overcome :D

Our confidence and self-esteem affect everything we do. When we feel confident of ourselves then we can take on the world. Confidence comes, not from success, but a belief in the possibility of success in whatever you undertake.
Choose to be with people who know your abilities and build your confidence and character. Identify your strengths and talents and remind yourself of them regularly. Confidence can seep and spread from one area of your life to another.

And this not only applies to my changing of school, but also for the 50th Anniversary practice. I haven't been attending all of them due to my absence, so I suppose I may be a little behind the rest. So, I guess I'll just be needing to brush up on it. But I'll just have to stay confident about it :)
As for the school matter, I'm not afraid or discouraged about it :/ I'm just going to do a head first belly flop into it. Eitherways, I know that God will be there with me throughout every challenge in my life. And that's what I call confidence :)

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and
petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God,
which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in
Christ Jesus.
Phillipians 4.8

Love.

I'm homeee

2009-09-01T16:34:00.012+08:00

Hello :) I'm back, from Beijing. For those who don't know where that is; it's in China. Before you look at the pictures below, I wanted to type a few ideas that came into my mind to and from there :

Beer + 7UP = Jolly Shandy (particularly referring to sandralee)
Always bring an umbri (it's SUPER hot there, during Summer)
They're food there is pretty yummy, though if you're into the Western Style, you may need to bring a few snacks of your own :D
Lots and lots of water.
Kneeguard, if you need one. Especially when climbing the Great Wall ;D
Shopping there is like finding a pea under a thousand mattresses.
It depends on the hotel you go to, but the one I went to had the same breakfast every morning. Every.
Sunblock, a lot and a lot of sunblock. The Sun there is so hot, it's not good for skin. It could hurt skins with lots of pigmentation, and you're at the risk of skin cancer. So be cautious :)

Now, the pictures :

This is Chian Men, a super long shopping street. It leads to the Tianamen Square.
Ever heard of Peking Duck? Well, Peking is the old name for Beijing. And this Peking Duck is a special delicacy in Beijing. So, you can roughly see the super long queue infront of the shop :D

This is in another state of China. Tian Chin. It's about a two hours drive from Beijing :)

Proof that I climbed it ;D

That's the entrance to the Great Wall.

Ignore the toilet sign ;D This flag reminds me of those Mulan times, where they used to raise these kind of flags, etc.

My dad and I climbed up to the first tower. It's pretty high up, but it's a good experience :)

Me, climbing down those steps :D

That's the Great Wall of China. Amazing, no?

It's actually pretty hard to climb up, as there are quite a huge number of people attempting to do so as well. I hear some people fall down sometimes :/

At Anderson : I managed to get a piece of it after all :)) At least I didn't get arrested, phew.

This is the Tianamen Square, also known as the largest square in the world :)

And this is a statue referring to the Red Years, ruled by Chairman Mao Zi Tong.

This is the First Gate of the Tianamen Square :)

This is the Forbidden City. It's pretty forbidden ;D

The Forbidden City is where all the Royal Family members used to live.

This is a replica of the original Terakota soldiers :)

We went to watch one of those Acrobatic Shows. It was fantastic, it was obvious that they went through a lot of training to become that talented :)I got to see the Beijing Olympic's '09. This is the water cube, where they held all the swimming events :)

The inside of the original Olympic Building. The Bird Nest :)

It's a really spectacular building. I mean, I'm glad I got to see it in real life :D

The Group Picture, I know, I know. I'm the only kid there :) But it was still fun.

This is the National Opera House. It's underground, the building. But I didn't get to go inside :/

This is the China Capital Museum :) Slanted, just like the Pisa building.

This, is a pillow. Back then, it was considered comfortable! It's designed really well, but seriously. It's made of stone :/

Another pillow :)

And this is the CCTV building. My dad really wanted to see this building, though I'm not very sure why :D But, eitherways it's unique :)

Dragonboat!

On Hutong Island, we took a rickshaw as transport. Quite an experience. It's really refreshing, 'cause you don't feel like you're enclosed in a vehicle, but more like an open-aired cab. Hahah :)

This is at the Ming Tombs. I got to see the Emperor's coffins :O And this, is some altar for some gods they worship.

Guess which is the real tree? The slightly straighter one :) They built a fake tree out of stone to support the real one. I didn't even realize till the tour guide told us :D

This is at the Summer Palace. I just kept this pic, 'cause this is the only one with the tour guide in it ;D He's the one on the right, holding a red flag.

This is at the Llama Temple :/ Apparently the name 'Llama' was the name of the first monk or something like that :D

This is the Temple of Heaven.

Idea no. 2 :) Always bring an umbri. It's pretty hot at times.

They call this the lump tree. As you can see, it has a lot of "lumps" :)

Umbri's everywhere :)

A chinese delicacy only found in Tian Chin. It's like, a twisted biscuit.

At Wan Shi Tong, they sell lots of inappropriate food ;D Like, seahorses, scorpions, silk worms, snakes, dog meat (how inhuman), and in this case, sugared fruits. And when I say sugared, I mean sugared.

At the flea market, there was a cafe there :) So, chocolate mousse cake and apple juice! :d

That's pretty much it. Though if you were there in real life, you would've experienced a lot more. I'm encouraging everyone to go and visit Beijing if you get the chance to :) It's indeed a very cultural place.

I'll end here, till next time :) Love.

One of the 7 wonders :

2009-08-24T17:42:00.007+08:00

is right here :) The Great Wall of China; I'm looking forward to seeing this wonder. I hope I'll even get to hike it :D

你好! I'm off to Beijing tonight, midnight. And I'm fully packed and I need to catch my eight hours of sleep before the flight :) I get insomnia on aeroplanes, so it's no use trying. Honestly.

This will be the last post for one whole week, +1. Just a reminder, I only blog on Tuesdays and Fridays, today's an exception :) I'm going to miss all of you blog readers, and as well as blogging.

I'll try my best to get pictures of Beijing. I'm sure there's a lot to see there, especially the Great Wall of China :) One of the '7 wonders', as Anderson calls it :D Perhaps I'll try to get a chip of the wall for everyone. Heehee.

Edited area begins.

Want to know how I feel about going to Beijing? Well, I feel adventurous. Like, I'm about to enter a book like The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn or something :)

Life is a roller-coaster adventure in itself and if we meet it with an adventurous spirit then we have more likelihood of enjoying the ride!

It is exciting to be alive to the main chance - make it a chance worth taking!

We feel adventurous when we are feeling confident and outgoing and able to take on the new. Our eyes look beyond the everyday to scan the horizon.

Travel widens the mind and the spirit but don't worry - adventures are to be found at home as well as far away! When you feel adventurous, welcome the adventure but assess the risks.

And, now as I'm about to leave for Beijing, which is a 6 hour flight btw. I'm pretty sure that God will be there for me as I'm sitting in that stuffy, ear-pressured problematic plane, on my way to an adventure. So everyone, enjoy your hols :) Even if you're stuck at home with nothing but a computer, you're still living an adventure. Perhaps you'll find yourself entwined in some Robin Crusoe adventure (I wish). Just minus the dangerous parts :D

Edited area ends.

I shall end here :) Wish me luck, including a safe flight. I just have something against aeroplanes and airplane flights. They make me nauseous and sick, pretty much it.

Love.

Slippery sloppery ice;

2009-08-24T17:28:00.006+08:00

I went ice skating with my two besties, + 1 (the boy with the video game monkey shirt). It was overall pretty fun, excluding falling down on the ice twice, which I shall remind you once only : it's pretty painful sometimes D: But, other than that the whole thing was whoopedoo :)

Lunch was Old Town White Coffee, Richard; *grins to self* No using the word 'suck' yea? :D Dinner was Soba and Ice Water at Sushi King. I love buckwheat noodles.

And I musn't forget to highlight that there were giant hotdogs and two cups of milo; hot and cold :d Excuse me for me taking an extreme liking to food.

Here are some pictures to tell you how everything went :)

The three, + 1 (the boy next to me with the video game monkey tee).
And when we got home :) Sandralee went home early. Li Ann and I were left with Ogawa massage chairs and foot reflexology, as well as Twister. We did all three :) So we got twisted in a giant entanglement of fun.
Plus, one of the most exciting parts (to me) yet : I got a fedora/hat. I know it isn't a fedora, but I prefer calling it one rather than just an ordinary hat. So, there you have it :) My fully blasted Sunday morning till night.

Love.

Outnumbered, raided and now cornered :/

2009-08-21T23:15:00.001+08:00

And it's a sad picture, the final blow hits you
Somebody else gets what you wanted again
You know it's all the same, another time and place
Repeating history and you're getting sick of it

But I believe in whatever you do
And I'll do anything to see it through

Because these things will change, can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
It's a revolution, the time will come for us to finally win

We'll sing hallelujah!
We'll sing hallelujah! Oh!

So we've been outnumbered, raided and now cornered
It's hard to fight when the fight ain't fair
We're getting stronger now from things they never found
They might be bigger but we're faster and never scared

You can walk away and say we don't need this
But there's something in your eyes says we can beat this

'Cause these things will change, can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
It's a revolution, the time will come for us to finally win

We'll sing hallelujah!
We'll sing hallelujah! Oh!

Tonight we standed on our knees
To fight for what we worked for all these years
And the battle was long, it's the fight of our lives
Will we stand up champions tonight?

It was the night things changed, can you see it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back fell down
It's a revolution, throw your hands up,
'cause we never gave in

We'll sing hallelujah!
We sang hallelujah!
Hallelujah!

It's a really nice song :) In fact, sometimes when I apply it to my life, it does comfort me a little.
Love.

The final blow hits you;

2009-08-21T22:03:00.005+08:00

The farewell party;

Some of the people who went ;D
Li Jene, Daniel and me :)

My crazy class seating neighbours :)

My dear Zhuo Bin :)

Zhuo Bin, Daniel and me :)

Jing Mun :)

Lee Yen or Yennie :)

My lovely Li Jene :)

The surprise farewell party was held today, and I promise you I felt emotional. I'm not sure what got into me then, but while I was piling those heaps and heaps of books into the huge bag; I felt rather depressed. I was telling myself, this is actually my last day, and this is the last time I'll be sitting on this right very chair, at this right very table and at this right very position. It's actually rather sad when you come to think of it. Eventhough I'm excited to move on in life, I'm pretty down about the leaving part.
I had a great time today :) It was a really meaningful thing to me, from racing cars to the movie Up; it was spectacular. Vietnamese was worth the money :P And, popcorn and coke go together really well. Sitting next to Daniel in the cinema can be pretty dangerous at times, he's really strict about handphones ;D For example, hey! No using the phone in the cinema, it distracts me! Yeap, that's Daniel :) And, refilling of popcorn comes from LJ. Popcorn being thrown at your hair comes from ZB. Lian Sing is the one who agrees on everything cute with you :) And, Eric is the quiet one sitting at the side.
I'm gonna miss you all heapos, so watch out for my constant phone calls and sms-es ;D Which may come more often than you think. I shan't forget about you guys, though somehow all of you think I will *gasps* Commitment and communication is my middle name; cough.

That's pretty much it, will update something more factual next :) Love you people, and special thanks to the two organisers : Chong Zhuo Bin and Sze Li Jene :) It meant a lot to me.
Love.

Exhortations;

2009-08-18T19:00:00.004+08:00

This is my last week in this school; Sri Garden. I'm moving on after the Hari Raya hols, to an altogether new school : Elc International School. I'm having mixed feelings; a little sad & a little excited. I'm sad 'cause I actually got a little more accustomed to this school and I really don't want to leave my great friends. But I suppose everything has a beginning and an end. My beginning starts in 2 weeks, and my end ends this week. Still not so sure on how I should be feeling.

To my SG buddies : Thanks for having been there for me all this while. SG has been my school since the Primary 1 - Primary 5. Then I came back in Secondary 1 :) So, it's still considered my overall childhood school. I'm still going to remember you guys and I'll keep in touch :) Facebook; once I create one, which I'm not so keen (I have no idea why I seem to prefer having no facebook). And there's twitter, which you all must create :) MSN; of course. And I'm sure there'll be many many more in the time to come :) Of course I'm really sad to leave and all, after finding some soul buddies and other great people :/ But, make sure you all treasure your time there in SG. It's a great school, and I'm going to miss it quite a bit. So, take care :) This message especially points to my especially special friends; char siew pau, dao sa pau, da-niew, and a few others which I haven't created mandarin nicknames for ;D

Here's a description on how I've been feeling since the beginning of my end :

I feel insecure. When we step out of the familiar and the landscape changes, we can feel insecure. A change of house, place, people or job can create a wind of change that promotes vulnerability and insecurity.

Too much change and insecurity can promote stress and depression. However, if we are never prepared to step out and change and can only cling to the familiar, then we can become set in our ways and boring.

When we feel insecure then we need to touch base with the familiar and safe. Keep in close contact with old friends and family. Go and visit, write, e-mail, text on a regular basis. This firm base will allow us to take on the stress of the new and meet its challenge.

I'll have to do all that, especially the touch base. Did I mention I'll prolly be moving house at the end of the year too. This is how insecure I feel. And I'm not sure if I'm ready for all these changes. But one thing's for sure, I'll always have God with me. And I'm sure that he'll be there to help me go through all these changes without feeling too exposed and vulnerable. I'm looking forward to change, it's a challenge. And I love a challenge :)

Do not be anxious about anything,
but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your
requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will
guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7

Love.

Smiling all the way;

Six Who Died was spectacular. I suppose they improvised a lot, since the last time I got a preview ;D Eitherways, it was really good. I could watch it again, and again, and again, *echoes* It was that good. I acknowledge the actors, they really potrayed their characteristics well. Especially, R. A. Tycoon :) Well, he was my favourite for some reason. And, they definitely passed the message well. I think many people left that night with deep thoughts on their minds :) Which is a good thing, it's better to think twice. They're probably going to show it once more for us, church members, again. So, looking forward to it :) I think PJGH YF should do more of these plays, it's actually rather encouraging. And I'll be supporting it 'till the very end :) *woots*

Being an usherer wasn't an easy job, at least not what I assumed it'd be like. I had not one tiny bit of a strand of an idea on how to usher. I just stood there, completely blank. Running around for completely no reason. But it was a good experience :) I made an usherer blunder on the highest level. I didn't know that people weren't allowed to sit on the first row, so I ushered someone to the first row. And just before they could sit, I was told they're not allowed. So I had to rush back to the visitors and tell them to move to the back. Doesn't that sound rather embarassing to you? I mean, it isn't nice telling someone to give up their best seats 'cause they're not allowed to sit there, and give them the back rowed ones. I have made an eternal usher blunder in the Guinness Book of Worst Blunders ever D: I hope they don't remember my face :/ Though someone caught me on camera doing this blunder, *cough cough* ZB ;D

And these are the very special people who took the initiative to come and watch Six Who Died, and I hope they enjoyed it :)

Li Jene, Daniel and Zhuo Bin :)
Zhuo Bin; taken at McD :)

The trio; I never knew that we were colour coding :D
Li Jene; caught unaware :)
Me; caught unaware :)

And that's pretty much it. Love.

This is my 200th post everyone.

I admit that I'm rather surprised to have reached this far in less than a year. So, just a note :D

Love.

Feeling jolly is an old-fashioned word conjuring up pictures of merriment from yester-year. Yet feeling jolly is such a good description for feeling generally happy-go-lucky and cheerful. Feeling jolly cheers us up and carries other people along into smiles and laughter as well.

As every good party is the jolly party goer who is the life and soul, making the whole thing fun and good to be there. Jolly people are like enhancers - the gigglers who make us giggle too.

I hope I'll be jolly tonight :) Leaving for cell group now, looking forward to it.

Love.

Unfit fitness test;

2009-08-14T18:14:00.003+08:00

I had a fitness test yesterday, and I did not feel fit at all. I managed to do 18 push-ups and 18 sit-ups. I scored a +13 for stretching, and I ran 1500 m, in 7 mins and 27 seconds. And, you know what? I think I got a C. The only possible way you can get an 'A' is by running 1500 m in 5 mins and 30 seconds. No later than that.
I feel like a total disgrace to the human atheltics in this world. I mean, I could barely even complete the second lap, I felt nauseous, like I could pass out at any moment then and there. *sigh* I guess I could use a little work out, perhaps I'll hit the gym after all. I hardly touch the one downstairs, my mum and dad usually use it, not me *guilty faces*. The most I touch is the hoola hoop ;D But now, it's going to be a brand new start, I'll start running on the threadmill downstairs, hop up and down on the trampoline, cycle on the bike, lift weights (who am I kidding?). I'll do all those, minus the weights. I don't think I can handle that, that'd be like miraculous if I could do it while hopping up and down D: Feeling dejected, need to cheer up! :)

Enough about fitness tests, here are some really cool facts that I read up :

A volcano has enough power to shoot ash as high as 50 km into the atmosphere.
Dogs and cats consume over $11 billion worth of pet food a year.
Albert Einstein was offered the presidency of Israel in 1952, but he declined.
7-11 sells 10, 000 pots of coffee an hour, every hour, every day.
Bluebirds cannot see the colour blue.
A snail can sleep for three years.
The longest word in the Enlgish language with no vowels is Rhythms.
There are 293 ways to make change for a dollar.
Until the 1960's men with long hair were not allowed to enter Disneyland.
Mosquitoes are attracted to the colour blue twice as much as any other colour.

And that's pretty much it :) I'm off to the Taylor's house again tonight, Care & Share Group, heheh :D Looks like 'Bluff' is on. Love as usual :)

Six Who Died :

2009-08-14T17:54:00.005+08:00

Oh, and btw, click on the image for a larger size :) I know it's a little hard to see the details with this image ;D Special message to Daniel : You may prefer this picture :) Compared to the one you drew, your mom may get a little confused. Hahah, p/s; do not forget to do a roundabout :D

Six who died is tomorrow :) And, I have to agree that it is going to be quite a blast. 3 outta 5 invited friends are turning up tomorrow, and it's actually quite an encouraging number :) Their names are : Daniel Lee Yik Loong, Sze Li Jene and lastly but none the less, Chong Zhuo Bin. I'm typing their names out for, funnn. *grins to self*

Looking forward to see you guys there tomorrow :) Oh wait, I'm picking two of 'em up.

For those who are interested to come and join the fun, it'll be at Petaling Jaya Gospel Hall, at 8.30 p.m. Though the doors open at 8 :) Refreshments will be served after the play, and do come and have a meaningful night with us.

I think I sound like an advertisement, drum roll :) Love.

Oh, bee, eeeeeeeh, why.

2009-08-14T17:17:00.003+08:00

O-B-E-Y, obey your mom and dad :)

Remember that song? Well, I like it a lot. And, I find obedience such a intriguing thing. I mean, it's natural for kids to learn obedience over the years, like they may do something wrong and the circumstances came from not obeying their parents, etc. And, in the end they get scolded for it, and I'm not being mean but everyone has to learn obedience, so that's how we learn it ;D And, even now as I've gone through 13 years of my life, which is really short if you compare yourself to the oldest living man in history, 900 + years old :) Well, I think I haven't learned all there is to obedience. I still can be pretty cheeky at times, and end up messing up a little here and there. Making blunders in life is normal, but there is time for improvement when you think about it :) So, I'm just reminding myself and everyone reading this to remember to listen to your parents, for I'm quite sure that the advice they give you is/are usually meant for your good (I don't think parents enjoy lecturing us, though sometimes we may think that way). So, let's encore : O-B-E-Y, obey your mom and dad :)

I love writing so much, it's like I can't imagine life without books or letterings of any kind of sort :) Writing is my passion. I suppose many of you know that my idea of a career in the future is, a writer :) Or an author, you can name it anything you want. Life without words, is completely speechless (a little obvious ;D). Without alphabets or letterings, you can't form words. And without words you can't form sentences. And without sentences you can't speak or communicate. And without speaking, life is rather quiet and solemn, absolutely no meaning at all.

I've written quite a number of my own stories, though I haven't shown them to anyone yet (including my family members). It's like, just me and the wordings. I'm just thinking of when I'd show it to someone. My compilation of short stories, and the title I'm thinking of should have an Infinite in it :)

I think I'm straying too far. I'm probably only at my 1/6 of my life, and I'm already thinking of my 1/2 of my life. A little too soon I assume. I'll have to wait, though I think writing is just a lovely way to express one's thoughts. And when I say thoughts I don't mean feelings, that's a different thing altogether. Emotions will have to be expressed in words of course, though not at all times. You get my point :)

I'll end here, my fitness test next. Love.

I'd love some;

2009-08-11T23:09:00.001+08:00

Yeah, there should be more peace in this world :)
Love.

Spread on too thin :)

I've recently had some childhood memories flashing back. I went to a wedding dinner that day, and there's this aunty who gave me some inspirations for this post. Well, she's an aunty who I've known for a pretty long time. And, when I was younger, I used to make lots of crafts for her. Like when I did this drawing for her, it was a drawing of fruits and vegetables. Apparently it was rather "cute", so she placed it in her office :D Well, I miss my childhood days. It's not that I'm not a child anymore, but I miss my younger childhood days. Heehee :)

I don't think we should all rush to grow up. It's nice to know that you're getting older and wiser, but don't you miss the times when you could break something and be excused since you're just a kid? Or when you're trying to act grownupish, but you only ended up acting even cuter than ever? :) Yea, that's what I mean. I miss it, a lot. I sometimes get this ridiculous idea, that I want to be a baby again. It's a good idea at times, but when I calculate through all the pro's and con's, the conclusion always ends up being : Stick with who you are now, Huey Nin. And, it's true. I wouldn't want to go back to being a baby, especially after being through 13 years of my life and going through it all. Heehee :)
.
The Second Monthly Test is coming up next week, which is very soon (though it's not going to affect me, some of you know why). But I still feel rather daunted. I love blogging about human feelings, so let me explain more :)

We can often feel daunted by the challenges that life puts in our path. It is then we need to draw on our inner resources and a belief that we can pull through. It is helpful to face the challenge squarely on even if this feels scary. Sometimes writing down the aspects of the challenge that are creating the feeling can allow you to think more clearly. Analyse the characteristics you have to meet the challenge. You can then think of, and seek help from, anyone who may be able to support you effectively. It is wise to avoid 'I must' and 'I should' statements - be realistic about how much you can take on in life.

So, things like these happen all the time. And I'm facing a huge mountain right now, not just the test, but overall. So I'll need some help here :) I have my best friend ever, God :)

I'll have to end here. It's getting late and I don't want to get in trouble for not tilting my head backwards. I'm having a nose bleed. I'm multi-tasking, surprised I can even see the keyboard ;D

Love as usual.

You are not alone;

2009-08-11T19:49:00.004+08:00

Alright, I'm feeling the vibes, so yea let's start :)

Remember Michael Jackson? Well, I got his album : The Essential Michael Jackson. And now it's in my most recently played playlist, :). I enjoy this song most :

Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

But you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone

'Lone, 'lone
Why, 'lone

Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
Then forever can begin

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
For you are not alone

Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'
And girl you know that I'll be there
I'll be there

You are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart

For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay

For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart

For you are not alone...

Lovely, agreed? :) I think his songs are just so touching, mainly : Black & White, You are not Alone, We are the World, Heal the World, Billie Jean, Man in the Mirror, They don't care about Us, etc.
I absolutely love all of them. He has like, another 50 + more, but those are the ones that make me think.
.
I have a great big announcement :) Floss (my hamster), has been with me for 1 year 9 days. He's probably in his adulthood by now, 30 + I'm guessing :) Sadly, hamster's don't live for very long. But to me, I treasure every moment we have together. Teehehe.

This leads me to another topic. When I was younger, like in my primary school days, I absolutely wanted a living pet. But, I never really got one besides fish, that were rared only to eat mosquito larvae, so yea :) But, I really wanted one. And, when you're in Standard 1 and 2, you'll probably be doing those Science experiments where you learn how to take care of a beansprout and watch how it grows from a seed into a plant. You know, you put some cotton in a plastic container, dampen the cotton a little, place the beans on it and watch it grow. Well, when I first did that, I felt that the plant was so special to me, 'cause it's the first living thing I ever took care of. So I kept my eyes glued on it day and night, watching it absorb sunlight and make it's food through photosynthesis, etc. And, over the weekend I continued doing that. In the end, I brought it back to school, left it there and soon it died. 'Cause the classroom isn't exactly the best place to grow beansprouts.
And it was meaningful to me, I even cried when it died. I was like, "Mummy, why is it crooked? And brown, and not growing anymore?". So yeah, that's pretty much how I felt about it then. I still care for plants, though not as much for a pet hamster :)

In my later years, I got a fish. The fish was rared to eat Mozzie babies, so I just watched them swimming around in the humongous pot where there were lotus plants floating around. And they did their job pretty well, they ate up all the baby mozzies, before they could start flying around and bringing us itches, male or female. But I must admit, these fishies were more colourful than I thought. There was a blue one, and a yellow one, and a transparent one too :D In the end, they died too, along with the Lotus plants. And I cried for them too, 'cause they were even more amusing than beansprouts.

Currently, I'm taking care of a hamster who eats, sleeps, plays and amuses. And you know what? He means a lot to me. I mean, he is a living thing :) And, I love living things, so you get the irony? Well, just a random fact about Floss, in order to show his appreciation to us when we change his bedding and clean his cage; he runs on his wheel :) Which is a good thing, 'cause he does need to lose a few pounds there. He's a fat hamster, that's for sure. I love Floss, enough said :D
.
I'll end here :) More childhood memories coming up next. Love as usual :)

A summer's disregard.

I feel blessed.

When we feel blessed then it is as if God has smiled at us and lifted us out of our everyday struggles and taken us to a viewing point on a higher plane.

From the higher plane we are able to see both the mountains and the valleys of our life and realize they both have their own beauty. We know that we have learnt something in the valleys just as we have known happiness on the mountain tops.

Counting our blessings makes us aware of what we have to be grateful and thankful for in our lives :)

I'm feeling really grateful right now. As I close my eyes and imagine all the horrible things going on outside these walls and windows of glass that separate me from the outside, I feel really blessed. When I compare all the people I know, including myself, with the poor people out there, I feel really touched and I feel as if someone has just opened up a hole in my heart. You may think I'm being dramatic, but I'm just expressing how I feel in words, which cannot express it all. Today, as I was standing in the kitchen, looking out at the constructions going on outside my house, I see all these contractors and builders who look so put out in life. I'm sure it's a difficult job; building. But when I look at their faces, I know it's not just the Sun and the sweat that's making them feel this way, it's more than that. I'm sure if I was in their state, I would have been wishing I was some billionaire who could sit in a luxurious room all day. Without a care in the world. Well, I'm just grateful for everything I have.

We can all make a difference by taking part in fund-raising events and other helping hands :) Maybe, you could even start your own society.

Love.

In broad daylight

2009-08-07T20:12:00.008+08:00

Lookie here;

I love this pic, it's the best I've got of the three of us so far :) Well, someone is a little camera shy ;) ZB, bugsy eyes ehhh.
That's the two of 'em :)
Yeah, ZB :) You know we love you. Isn't she adorable?
.
I had a pretty funnn day today, though it was rather tiresome. Stayed back a while after school ended, had a great time. Love those two comedians. I'm going to miss you two, a lot :/

The Monthly Test is coming in two weeks, panic. That didn't seem very panicky, but still. :) I'm nervous. Though, I must admit it isn't going to affect me very much, some of you know why. It's still a secret, shhhh.

Six Who Died is coming up. Next Saturday, that is. So glad most of you can come :) Hoping to see all of you make it! Eric, do comeee. I'm sure Neric can arrange some transport for you, heheh. And, Daniel. Woohoo :) LJ and ZB, BB it is :) I'm feeling elated. Can't you tell?
The sad part is, I saw this signboard that said some bands are coming to Sunway on the 15th (same day as Six Who Died), such as : The All-American Rejects, Hoobastank, Boys like Girls, etc. Loads more. But, I never heard any of this on the news or internet or etc. Hmmm, perhaps it was a trick of an eye :D If it were true, I'd be pretty dissapointed. I like All-American Rejects, some of their songs at least. Oh wellss, the Church Play is more important neways :)

Love.

Oh wait, I haven't finished yet. I watched Pink Panther 2 today during English class, it is hilarious with a capital HAHA :D I'll give you a few phrases, pink is the panther and black is anonymous.

You'll have to fly there. But I don't know how to fly! On a plane, of course.
.
What does this look like to you? A tape recorder? Aha, you think it's a tape recorder, but it is actually a pen. *snaps out*
.
Come, let us do a professional goodbye hug. But of course (french accent). *caught red handed*

You may not understand the humour I find in these, but if you watched it, you'll probably know what I mean :) So do watch it! I still haven't finished it yet, continuing next week. We were only a quarter done to be honest, but during that short period of time, it was pretty entertaining :)

Definite love.

Tense tension;

2009-08-07T19:09:00.004+08:00

It's done. Over with. Gone. Nada :) I have sat for the Grade 7 Piano Examination, and you have no idea how relieved I am :D It feels like a hippo just slid of your back, or if you prefer an elle, your choice. I'll just give you a brief explanation on how it went :

The examiner was a MAN :) You must be wondering why I put a smiley face to that, but if you haven't noticed, most MEN examiners are more linean in their markings. Whereas the WOMEN examiners are slightly higher standard in their markings eventhough they make you feel more comfortable in that cool-aired room :)
I stumbled a little. The second piece, I totally lost my way at the end. Luckily, the examiner was a kind one and let me have another go and didn't seem to bother about my stumbles :D Thank you, if you're reading this.
I developed a fever just before the examination. My piano teacher called it a phsycological disturbance, I call it H1N1 :) I thought I was going to knock out in the middle of the exam, luckily I didn't.
The student before me was in Grade 8 and I didn't hear a single stumble!
The examiner was a pretty old man, though he used to be a singer and directed the Opera singers. I just hope my singing during the aural test was good enough for him :)
I'm done with it! I can sit back and relax, and just enjoy myself till the results come out. Which, I hope will be good :)

Continuation, tips on how to handle the dragonflies that come in the morning, or the night before if you're unlucky :

Eat a hearty breakfast. Try to munch on something that you know you enjoy and make sure it's a little light. You wouldn't want them to, you know, if you puke before the exam (or during).
Get your marmie and daddie to hug you just before you enter that room, it could be extremely cold once you get in there :)
Ask your teacher : Pieces or Scales first? Then, take her advice.
Jot down last minute notes, for aural. You'll never know when you need to know about polyphonic or contrapuntal, etc. :)
Dress formally, they reallyyy mark you on your dressing.
This isn't really a tip, but it's a "tip" that came at the very last minute : Greet the examiner, sure give you extra marks wannn... :) Yeap, that's Zhuo Bin with her "tips".
Lastly, enjoy yourself :) Treat it like you're playing your heart out 'cause you enjoy it, not because you were forced by your Music Teacher to sit at this rocky stool to play for some stranger. And, think that the room is your home, where you usually play. It really comforts you :)

That concludes my advice. Well, I hope it helps those who are going to sit for one soon. I just hope my results are fine. *fingers crossed*

Love.

Impetuous thoughts;

2009-08-04T18:31:00.003+08:00

I've been feeling rather impetuous lately. I'll put it in a context for you to understand.

When we feel impetuous we want to throw caution to the wind and go for it. We want to throw ourselves into an adventure, a situation or relationship.

Feeling impetuous can expand our horizons and take us to places we didn't think we were capable of, or that we would ever reach.

However, in throwing our caution to the wind we sometimes get ourselves into a whole lot of trouble we didn't take the time to anticipate. We have been reckless and must now take the rap.

Balance your impetuous nature with a modicum of caution and you will go far.

And, I keep telling myself to rash, go headlong into things, be hasty, reckless, incautious, brash, impulsive, audacious, and sometimes I'm not so sure if these are the appropriate words :D

That's how I've been feeling since the beginning of the week, tell me I shouldn't :)

I feel like doing all the things above, yet I know it will bring me a few circumstances at the end that I will not enjoy. So I keep telling myself to keep it within my walls and hope for the best. And, who knows? I may get an outcome that is appaling to my nitty self ;) Maybe next week I'll feel something else, the vibes of a feeling more positive and interesting, eitherways.

I'll end here, note to readers : try not to be too impetuous. It harms the mental side of you :D At least it did for me.

Love.

Stuck in square one;

2009-08-04T12:36:00.007+08:00

Here are a few advice and socrates that almost always astonish me :

If all misfortunes were laid in one
common heap whence everyone must take an equal portion, most people would be
contented to take their own and depart.

Wisdom begins in wonder.

As for me, all I know is that I know nothing.

Beware the barenness of a busy
life.

True wisdom comes to each of us when we
realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around
us.

Learn to build all your roads on today, because
tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans.

Never give up on anybody. Miracles happen
everyday.

Always do right. This will gratify some and astonish the
rest.

Leave everything a little better than you found
it.

Headlights on dark roads

2009-08-04T11:28:00.008+08:00

So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your
God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right
hand.
Isaiah 41:10

My school is infected with H1N1, and it just so happened that the infected child happens to be the brother of a classmate of mine, who sits really close to me :/ Where's the irony in that?

I decided not to attend school after all, like you said : safety first :) I'm pretty sure that half the school probably won't be attending school, and the hall during assembly would be pretty empty. If you ask me, I think the principal should just close down the whole school, the parents don't want their children taking risks :D

I'll keep the thoughts to myself. I wonder if I'll be taking the whole week off, perhaps I might. We'll see how it goes :)
.
I skyped with Kathryn yesterday, I couldn't see her, but she could see me. Oh well, next friday it is kat :) It was fun, eavesdropping on all her conversations, she didn't know I was listening to everything going on in her room. I could hear Amelia doing some English homework, I think :D And kat was busy rummaging around looking for her headphones. *grins to self* Being a secret detective, undercover was interesting. Just jokin' kat, I enjoyed skyping with you yesterday :) Looking forward to seeing RUSS and you, of course.

P/s; love the hair :) I can't believe you have free dye's there (the Australian Sun). Sometimes I wish the Malaysian Sun had that kind of effect on our hair :D
.
My cousin gave birth yesterday :) I'm officially an Aunty. I feel so aged, and yet I'm glad that there's one more admission to the family tree :) She was a darling, the baby. My cous and the babe were both rather active, though I think they must be pretty tired after going through that whole process. The baby was in the nursery, staring up at us with her big, black eyes :) She can't see yet, but she seemed so intent on looking at us, that I felt she could actually sense we were there. Should have taken a picture, though I was afraid it might bother the baby or the parents, so yeah. Her name is confidential, but I promise you it's a lovely name :) She's a beauty, just like her mum. A lot of resemblances apparently, with the parents.

I'm feeling glad, it's nice to know that a new born baby has entered the premises of Earth. And, I'm an Aunty! I can't help that outburst :D

My conclusion : I'm an Aunty, I have a neice, she has a lovely name and she's a dear, I'm an Aunty :D, and I love her. Oh, and her eyes are beautiful, they're big and black, and she's so fidgety. Can't wait to hold her for the very first time :)

I think babies are a blessing. What would we do in a world without babies? Babies are special, without babies, our race would be extinct. And God gave babies to parents for a reason, to continue loving one another. I enjoy seeing the faces of the couple, as they watch the nurse bring their baby closer to them, and they tell themselves, "God has given us this child to care for, and give her warmth and love. This is indeed a blessing." I feel so touched, the bond of a child and his/her parents :) I love the idea of a baby, knowing it's yours and yours to keep. It just gives me the pleasure of thinking about it.
.
I think I'll end here, for now. Will update again later.
Love :)

IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED,

CALL IT VERSION 1.0

I like what philosopher's have to say. I think all philosopher's have such great minds. I want to be one next time, though it won't be my job. It'll just be my hobby, that may become my part time job ;)

You know, a compilation of meditations that could be sold after many years of storage. I can imagine what I'd call the book already, something starting with Infinite :)

I like that word, it makes me think of infinity. So random.

I decided that I shan't start a second blog. Even if it's just for ideas. I'll come up with my own, and if I don't : it just shows that my imaginative side hasn't popped out yet.

Another random outburst : I like the font Courier. It reminds of the olden day typewriter, like Moulin Rouge :) You know, the person telling the story was typing it out with a typewriter, like this. So interesting. I think it must have been nicer than a computer, I know how it feels like, a typewriter. Tried it once at the office. It was so intriguing :D

I'm off to bed now, getting late. I'll update, soon. After the weekend of course.

Love.

Feelings are just like a greenhouse effect. We can't contain our feelings anymore, and we let it out. Sometimes these feelings aren't good and may pollute the air *inverted commas*, and when I say air I mean our environment :D You've got to think in an imaginary way while reading this. We bottle it all up, and when we can't take it anymore, we let it out. It fills the air, hopefully it's just oxygen. But sometimes it could be carbon dioxide, and then all the heat gets trapped and our ozone layer depletes. Yea, you know the rest :) I'm giving a lame example. Though I do hope you'll take out the encyclopedia and check out how the greenhouse effect is caused, then think about what I said and compare it. You may actually find a relationship between the two topics :)

I'll take a break from the feeling subject, so that you don't feel I'm dragging too long on it :)

I'm actually pretty tempted to take a break from blogging. I'm tired of it. Eventhough I've been setting myself a border line to help me organise everything, I still find it too often. Perhaps I should cut it down to one day a week.
Thinks hard.
Nah :) I like blogging, but I need some brain storms. I'm running out of topics post by post. I have so much to say, yet I'm not sure what to say. I'm going to start a website, where you can give me ideas to post about. Sounds good? Great :) I'm looking forward to it. Infact, I'm starting one right now. It'll be open by 10:44 pm. I'm making it in 10 minutes :D

Okay, I'm back. To feelings I mean :)

How should I respond to my feelings? Let them take control of me? No. I'm taught to control my feelings, learn not to be overly emotional, be in control of it. And yet sometimes I'm so tempted to just let go of self-control and let it take over. Feelings are useful things, they tell you right from wrong. 'Cause every human has been built in with something called a conscience. A conscience is like a sensor that triggers a part in your brain that tells you, are you sure you're doing the right thing? or. What you've done is wrong, do something about it. It may trigger the alarm, but it's your choice to listen to it or ignore it. Usually, it's better to do something good about it rather than just ignore your conscience, God put it there for a reason.
Sometimes I feel lonely, sometimes I feel sad, sometimes I just miss someone I love, sometimes I feel extremely happy, and yet sometimes I can get mad. It's just so mixed, that even words couldn't describe how I feel. People can say : I'm so sad. But you may not be 'sad', you may just be feeling helpless and down in the heaps. There's a difference, words can't describe your feelings all the time. Sometimes they're not written in a book, or on the internet. It's just, in you :) So treasure your feelings everyone, they may not always coincide with what happens then and there, but they sure tell you something.

I'll continue soon :) Love.

Wonders are wonderful;

2009-07-31T14:46:00.004+08:00

I can find myself on the internet :) It's so freaky. Type in your name, click search and voila : I find 3 full pages of blogs that consist of my name, and my blog of course :D There's even a picture, how embarassing *blushes* All those who privated their blogs, aren't all that private either. You can still see a few posts out front. I guess the internet world isn't what we predicted, it's more than meets the eye.

Tension.

Now that the tension's gone. Let me tell you how my day(s) have been :

It all started with a headache, the headache became a fever and the fever caused me not to attend school for a day. Which was a Tuesday :) At least I missed assembly and the boring speeches that didn't involve us. That's a different topic altogether. Wednesday was CCA day, and PA was absolutely artistic :) Watching Michael Jackson do his thing and people trying to immitate him but was no where close, was interesting. I just enjoy Performing Arts. Though I've decided that I shan't order the tee after all. I won't be needing it after one more month anyway, and it cost 50 over ringgit, so I'll just stick to the usuals :) Thursday, nothing special. Friday : half day :) Nothing interesting ever happens, not really at least. So far, the only one I could remember that was interesting was the air-con catching fire in the computer lab. *grins*

Ahhhh, the feeling of relief brings me joy. Who knew that such a little matter could've caused so much tension between everyone. No one meant any harm, yet it became harm. I'm glad it's all over though, it's not nice to be caught in the middle. Especially when you don't have your special sword and armor with you. Oohh, and don't forget the helmet. I need them in times of war, *inverted commas*.

I feel like yelling out the truth to everyone. What's going to happen and all, and Bue will be told first when Sep comes, like I promised :D But, I just wish I could tell. It's not a nice feeling when you have to keep everything to yourself. Whether it's good news or bad news. Mine, I'm not so sure with category I would place it in. How about neutral?

I have calmed myself down. I have resisted the temptation. I have chosen to keep my mouth shut till the time comes to, release it. *rawr*

I am so touched by the show : iRobot. I know it's an old show, but I find it really touching. The way the robot Sonny can develop feelings, and the way he shows it :) It's so, sweet. Don't ask me why. I'm sure you all must be thinking : it's an action movie, Huey Nin. It's not a drama. I know it isn't, but somehow this small section of it makes me wonder about the future and about how things are now. What if things turn as drastic as it were in the show :/ I wouldn't like that, the world controlled by robots, whose chest turn red when angry. *shivers* I do not trust those things, except Sonny of course :D I like him, he's my favourite character :)

I decided to make my posts "shorter". I mean, I don't think everyone reads my "walls of text", like what Daniel calls it. So, I'll cut this one down for the time being :) Though I do like "walls of text".

Movie blurt out : I wanna watch Up :) Anyone interested for next month?

Love.

Revamping it all :)

Birdie Says, by Gisele Jacquenod

I love her sense of style. Look at the way she draws her birds :) They're loveeeely. Especially the 'Gimme Tea & Cookies'. Oh well, I know it doesn't make much sense. But, it's been a while since I've posted a random picture of, birds :D

Got another Meg Cabot book, Princess in the Spotlight. May or may not be good, but I hope it's the first :) That reminds me, during my visit to the bookstore today, my mum and I saw this Manga Series on Jesus. How preposterous is that? I mean, Manga? They literally drew Him like some Anime character with hair that grew longer than his beard. Oh well, who am I to judge anyway? Though I still think they should just stick to normal drawings and words :)

One last thing, I found my Phone Screensaver on the internet, so check it out :

Love.

Let's sing;

2009-07-28T17:19:00.004+08:00

Thick as thieves the last of leaves
In the winter sun
Holding fast this freezing branch
Is home to us

Step, step right over the line
And onto borrowed time
When it's life, not waiting to die
Waiting to divide to divide

Counting stars and passing cars
On the interstate
The end is near I feel it dear,
But I am not afraid

Step, step right over the line
And onto borrowed time
When it's life, not waiting to die
Waiting to divide to divide

But you say you're getting tired
You're tired and so am I
When you follow from behind

Step, step right over the line
And onto borrowed time
When it's life, not waiting to die
Waiting to divide to divide

But you say you're getting tired
You're tired and so am I
When you follow from behind

I like it.
I am actually, pretty much going bizarre in my mind with pre and post :/ hellpp me. One half of me wants pre-paid, because then I won't have to worry about my credit finishing, etc. Though, I still have to keep within a certain limit :D But pre-paid means no stressing over how much I have used this month. If I use pre-paid, then if I run out of credit, it's a sad ending. BUT. I don't have to worry about exeeding the limit. Argh, I'm not sure what to think anymore sometimes.

Change of topic :) They're making 'The Hobbit' in the movies next year, great :) I can't wait. It'll be show number 4, in the movie series of The Lord of The Rings. I wish next year would come faster, for certain things only :)

I'll end here. If I have anything more to say, next post.
Love.

Seize the day :)

2009-07-28T16:30:00.009+08:00

I got my FAME tee :) Thanks to sandralee and liann. Sandra, for bringing the shirt. And LiAnn, for buying it :D Thanks huns. P/s; that's the front of the shirt : Hard Work!
And, this is the back ;) I told you it's nice. "Music; is the hardest profession in the world!"
Took this pic with Tammy Ho on Saturday. First day with contacts, uncomfortable, but I'm getting a hang at it :)

Tammy & Deborah :) Ooohhh, and that's Jon Lee's thumbdrive in Deb's hands :D

Gadiy & Richard. I didn't know they were using the camera :)

And, contacts. I know I look weird, it's true. An alien from Mars or;

Pluto, up to you. These two pictures are mainly for KathrynYu to see, after all she is in Aussie, so : here's an example of how an alien would look like kat :D
Love.

Care & Share Group Night(s) are filled with

2009-07-28T16:12:00.003+08:00

Kyralynn and Kenric;

That's them :) The very entertaining pair of Spongebob madness :D I finally got a picture of them, individuals next week. Heheh. Honestly, I'm glad out parents go to the same Care & Share Group, otherwise I'd be stuck at home alone. And they're great company, card games especially :P

I'll be seeing them again next week :)
Love.

Come on, come out;

2009-07-28T13:17:00.007+08:00

Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it.

I am addicted to Choco Baby :) Know what that is? It's chocolate. Shaped in the form of small pills, that melt in your mouth almost instantly :d I'm making myself hungry. Heheh. It can be addictive, therefore self-control is required to handle the temptation of chocolate ;)

I barely passed the YF test. Not such a good result, but at least I passed :D I should've done better. *smacks self* Work harder next time, Huay :) Surprisingly, I found the test not so very hard, but the conclusion turned out different to what I predicted :/ Most of my objective were wrong, subjective; I scored slightly better I think.
But there's no use mourning over it, I should be more optimistic and tell myself to do better next time, instead of wasting my time feeling all dejected about it. So smile everyone :) Especially those who are feeling down in the heaps right now.

I didn't go to school today, not because I 'ponteng', but because my fever became worse, and worse, and worse. Some of you probably know the feeling when you have to toss and turn in bed, and you're sweating like a mad cow and the air-con is already turned to 23 degrees? Yeah, that's how I felt. Very uncomfortable. And what more, there may sometimes even be one or two pesky mosquitoes who end up flying around your ears to annoy you, and you hide under the covers to avoid them and you're feeling even more uncomfortable, I feel like I'm telling a life story :/
So, now you probably understand why I ended up not coming to school. I wonder if there was a sport check today.

I just came back from lunch, yummy noodles in Esquire Kitchen, :). And, it came along with Chinese Hot Tea; I'm satisfied ;)
Will continue updating soon, love.

Helps Over Hard Places;

I don't know what to think anymore. By this September, there's going to be a big change in my life. It won't be turning around the corner anymore, it'd be doing a roundabout :/ I have nothing much to say, but just to ask for courage from God. I'm going to be terribly frightened, with everything to happen. I know it's for the better, and I know it it's for the best. But, changes can be scary, and I hope this one won't be too bad :) It rhymes, a little :D

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help
in trouble.
Psalm 46:1

I pray all this in Jesus name, Amen :)

I should be off now, leaving for the Taylor's house tonight :) It'll be fun, absolutely. Bringing some digestive biscuits along with me :D Which means instead of "Winner Gets Pods", it'll be "Winner Gets Sticky Biscuits" :)
Love.

Melodramatic : behaviour in which someone treats a situation as much more serious than it really is.

I really don't like being melodramatic. I'm sure I have been a couple of times, not that I remember : but it's possible. I hope I'll change, not everyone fancies melodramatic people. I mean, who wants to make a small little thing, into a humongous ginormous situation? I'm not on that side. Hahah :)

I have replacement classes tomorrow, and I'm going. Fortunately, it follows the Friday timetable meaning : half day. I'll still be able to go for YF :) And, I'm glad. Though, it kind of wasted my Saturday morning, I don't get to wake up late as I would've. And, I don't get to eat Dim Sum for breakfast, not everything happens the way we want it. But looking on the positive side, I get good laughs and brand new knowledge ;)

Andrea's birthday party is tomorrow, and I'm not going :( Her birthday's actually on next Thursday, so I shall save it for my next few posts. You'll get a special Happy Birthday here Andrea :) And, I wonder if I'm the only one who isn't going. Hmmmm...

One more thing about school, the teacher changed our seating positions again, and I'm still sitting with Li Jene :) Though, we're like, right at the front, opposite the teacher's table. Not good, I don't like sitting in front. It makes me feel so brand new :/ This time, we're arranged three by three's. Li Jene got the middle (hmmm) and I got the furthest right. Ellen's on the left. Behind me is Daniel, woohoo :) Without Daniel sitting behind or close by, Li Jene and I can't get as much humour as before. Heheh, so we're glad he is.

I realized that the type of pen you use affects your handwriting. Like for me, gel pens suit me. Other people might prefer ball point pens or invisible inked pens : I still stick to gel pens ;) It interests me, to know that non-living things can actually affect us living things in such a way. Without neat or nice handwritings, teacher's wouldn't be able to read out work and we may get in trouble, etc. And the list goes on and on :) Most girls have neat handwriting; no offense to guys :D And, well. That's about all I have to say.

Love.

p/s ; Thanks for getting the shirts for us liann :) Just by hearing the description, I know that I'll love it.

Stopping the time, the rush and the waiting :

96 words

I finally beat the record. From 89 words to 96 words, I'm satisfied :) Jon Lee, if you're reading this : try again ;) It actually takes a lot of patience, but it worked out at last. I'm feeling elated right now :)

Love.

The pieces of gold, they light up your eyes :)

Bloom where you are planted.

I really enjoy reading papamelroti quotes or sayings. Most of their quotes are related to the world or maybe even you. I'm not very sure myself, but I just enjoy them. The one above is my fave for this week. Bloom where you are planted. And when they say bloom, I don't think they mean looks, but more of the spiritual you.

We should grow in every good perspective. Whether it's physical or mental, you should grow in it otherwise. I haven't been blooming so much recently, perhaps it's because I've been really inconsiderate, or perhaps I just haven't tried enough yet. From now on though, I will try my best.

Make things that seem meaningless meaningful.

Make things that seem hopeless hopeful.

Make things that seem useless useful.

I hope you do too :)

Turns out that the prediction on the tsunami and earthquake were actually false. E-mails and news were being sent out, but weren't checked and re-checked. Oh wellss. At least it wasn't true, :).

Anyone saw the solar eclipse. I noticed on that day that the sky was slightly darker, but other than that, I couldn't see much of a difference :P Perhaps it's where we're located, or it's just the wall blocking it ;) Eitherways, I heard it was beautiful. That's if we could even see it of course. Hahah. I wish Malaysia was a little closer to India, that way, we'd obviously get to see the next one in a hundred years :D

SG Idol today was very, interesting. Filled with dancing, singing and a little comedy, it was more than I expected :D I voted for a dancer, she was really good. Her moves matched the beats perfectly, and I thought she ought to have won. Unfortunately, someone else did. Two girls who, can sing, but I prefered the dancer :/ They were good though :) SG's got talent.

*sigh* Sitting on the floor for one and a half hours was not fun though. When I stood up, I felt like my legs could fall off at any moment. They were literally, disconnected from my other body parts. Luckily I had some support, my friends. Heheh :D

I'll continue more in my next post :) Love.

I'm down to a whisper;

2009-07-21T20:06:00.006+08:00

Here are another 10 very cool facts :

1. A hardboiled egg will spin. An uncooked or softboiled egg will not.
2. Dolphin's nap with one eye open.
3. Chewing gum while peeling onions will keep you from crying.
4. Rats can tell the difference between two human languages.
5. Kittens are born both blind and deaf.
6. A hedgehog's heart beats 300 times a minute on average.
7. Food can only be tasted if it is mixed with saliva.
8. Coconuts kill more people in the world than sharks do. Approximately 150 people are killed each year by coconuts.
9. In the White House, there are 13, 092 knives, forks and spoons.
10. One in every four Americans has appeared on television.

Some of the facts can be so, unbelievable sometimes :)

I find the world moving too fast in technology. I mean, what does the world want to achieve with so much technology. There's nothing wrong with it, but it does make me wonder what will happen in the future. I wonder if everyone on Earth will pack up their houses and move to Pluto in 2020. Or, if humans won't need to be at one place at a time, because then there will be holographic figures of us everywhere. That would be so ridiculous. Perhaps when life goes too far, everything will come to an end (if you understand) :)
Just five years ago, there wasn't such a thing as an MP4 or a music player. And just five years ago, there wasn't such a thing as a touch screen phone, or a touch screen anything. Mobile phones, 25 years ago, were big bulky suitcases :/ I think the world is changing rapidly. Even as my mind is thinking, scientists around this world are probably thinking of ways to make houses elevate into the air, or dogs to have collars that control their mind. It's bizarre :)
Slow down world, we don't have to move that fast :)

To my dear dear Li Jene, take care okay :) I hope you'll get better, and don't stress yourself out. I hope you're coming tomorrow, you just said you will ;) *on the phone* I'm looking forward to watching Malay Drama Movies with you tomorrow, laugh out loud :D
To my dearly missed sister, I hope you're doing fine. Watch out tomorrow, don't go anywhere near the beach or the harbour. You safety is worth more than anything :)

I'm not sure if all of you have heard :
There have been warnings that there's going to be an earthquake and tsunami on the 22nd of July. So, everyone beware :/ Malaysia and Australia will be hit, but for Malaysia; apparently it's only going to hit Sabah and Sarawak. But that still doesn't mean we don't have to take precaution. Australia, has to be even more careful. Juen Nin : don't you go anywhere near the beach or harbour. Be careful and stay in the city :) Warn your friends and family everyone :) It may or may not be true, but it's better to be safe than be exposed.

Love.

It started with a flicker :)

ABRSM!

How hard can it get?

The Grade 7 Piano Exam is in two weeks, and I feel like I just started learning my scales.

Of course I'm sure I'll pass, but is that good enough? I mean, I want a merit, or a distinction if possible. Things aren't like what they were. It used to be : play "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" for fun, and it was funnnn. But now it's like I'm in a different dimension of music altogether.

I love the piano, I really do.

It feels good to know that you can actually play an instrument, and enjoy it. But when I reached Grade 5, it was all : "You have to play your pieces everyday, or else you'll have to re-sit Grade 5 again, and etc.." But, I passed Grade 5; went on to Grade 6, and now finally reached Grade 7. Once I'm over this, it'll be Grade 8. I can already feel the vibes of anxiety coming to me.

I admit I don't always work hard, like a never-ending machine, and I suppose I need to work even harder in these two weeks. I need my sleep, I need my support, I need my foundation.

The one thing I enjoyed most once I reached THE stage where everything is serious, was the jazz :) It makes me feel all papa beard and big apple. I can stomp my feet and feel the mood swing in my beat :D It's the one thing that makes me feel happy throughout every Grade. Starting from Grade 4, my piano teacher chooses a jazz song for me each year. She knows I love it. I know I do :)

My songs for this year are :

A:1 Allegro assai by J. C. F. Bach :)

B:1 Andante moderato by Faure :)

C:1 Lowside Blues by Joanna Macgreggor :)

I enjoy each one of them, though I still need to practice A:1. The accompaniment still isn't on my side just yet ;) Haha.

Will update again soon,

Love.

I wanna live forever;

2009-07-21T18:02:00.003+08:00

The song above is loveeely :) Originated from FAME. And, you ask me : how was it? I reply : pretty much overwhelming. It was spectacular. Filled with dancing and singing, you would have thought Broadway moved to Cheras :D I liked it, that's about all there is to it, I liked it, and would have gone back for seconds :/

'Music; is the hardest profession in the world', is the tee that I wish I had right now. They sold different types of tees that day, but we didn't have the time to buy it. Oh wellss. Though I wonder if chewliann got it for us : sandralee and moi.

p/s; sandralee liked it too ;)

And, this is what we wore to FAME :) I didn't quite blend it : everyone was wearing jeans and a t-shirt. And, I was wearing a skirt, wayyy too formal :D

Sandralee : seemed to have known the dress code ;)

And, she calls herself : un-photogenic. How untrue is that? "Very."

*blushes* I know : it's ridiculous. But, I found it rather amusing. It's been a while since my friend has taken a 'funny-faced' picture, as they call it :)

P/s : I like tumblr now. Though it's still a little more tricky. :/ Get tumblr :)))

Love.

Everybody's Changing :

2009-07-18T11:30:00.008+08:00

they're hairstyles :)

sandralee; has cut her hair shorrrttt :) And, it does look different.
Maybe you can't see the difference, but there is ;)

The fringe is like, really short now. Up to my ears. And, the hairdresser layered my hair, a lot :)

Love.

p/s ; I need a picture of Bue and my sis, they changed theirs too :D And, why is this up on a Saturday? I posted this on a Friday. Blogging can be so confusing :/

You sang me Spanish lullabies :

2009-07-17T19:00:00.005+08:00

My sis went home just yesterday. I'm already feeling anguished over it. The pictures below will show you how much we feel for her, and how much she feels for us. As well as the fact that it's just for the memories and keepsakes :) I love you, sis :

Look at my sis, look at me, see the resemblance? :D
My sis and I. I love you sis :)
Here we are : the three 'W's' in the family :)
We need the J to complete.
The three in the family who keeps me living. And, the best family there ever was :)
Daddy and us :)
Daddy and his two little girls. We have another photo, at the exact same spot, at the exact same placing, of daddy and his two little girls (9 years ago) :)

Mum and sis; the love in the air :)

The three ladies in the family :) Our trademark lies within us.

The happy family :) Look at our faces : they're shining.
In family life, love is the oil that eases friction, the cement that binds closer together, and the music that brings harmony.

Strike my quote out :)

2009-07-17T17:38:00.002+08:00

I finally learned how to ~~strike~~ words :) I'm glad I did. And, I found out how to put a humongous blockquote infront of my text. To those who knew how to do it before : please don't laugh ;) I'll laugh myself. *haha* Done :)

If the rain must fall;

2009-07-17T16:57:00.003+08:00

I love this song. (refer to post title)

It actually has a pretty catchy tune, sung by James Morrison :)

I was at my parent's office for a while just now, I never knew that Pinball could be this addictive :/ At least I got the five high scores :D

Dunkin Donut's were forgotten for quite a fair bit. At last, I finally remembered them today. Bought a Chocolate Pudding; mmmhhhhmmm; it is the best of the best :d

Tomorrow is FAME; extremely ecstatic about it. I've been waiting for months to figure out what would Cempaka's Box Office Productions do this year; I managed to find out a little earlier than the rest ;) And, it was a good choice after all. The first production I saw was the "Witches of Oz", based on the story; The Wizard of Oz. The second, West Side Story. That was my favourite one so far :) *please don't judge me face* And, to top it off, tomorrow night will be FAME :) Looking forward to it, and you.

New hairstyle; I never realized how fun it was :) It's good to have a haircut once in a while, your hair may get a little on the heavy side. But, of course the other reason would be; you want to stylize a bit. Go with the flow. Fashion isn't everything; I really do believe that. But, sometimes it's good to have a little makeover, it can be interesting :)

I'm running out of words. This is my I can get frust when I blog. I want my posts to be, "walls of text", but sometimes you can run out of words, and people can get impatient, and the list goes on and on. But remember this, you don't blog to gain popularity, or for competition. Blogging is a choice. You can blog for the fun of it (hobby; in other words) or, you can blog for a purpose (career, practice, the list goes on and on). I'm not sure which choice I pick either, but I know one thing for sure. It's definitely for the hobby. I enjoy writing, more than most things in this world. Sure, I like computer games, playing the piano, table tennis, Tap Tap, so onnn. But, writing is one thing that makes me feel relieved, makes me feel satisfied, makes me feel at home :) I love writing; enough said.

My sis went hommeee last night; you cannot understand the feeling of angst I was experiencing. It was a mixture of anxiety and sadness. It's not something to look forward to, or something to enjoy. *shakes head* It's actually pretty depressing. I still haven't fully gotten over it yet, even after a good night's rest. But, like what most people tell me, think positively :) We shouldn't waste our time worrying and bubbling up with fear. Live life to the fullest, if you ask me :)

"Making reasonable provisions for
the future is sensible but to worry about tomorrow is foolish and unfaithful.
God is the God of tomorrow as well as the God of today and eternity. People are
so commited to worrying that they can't find anything in the present to worry
about, they think about possible problems in the future. The Lords loving
kindness never ceases, His compassion never fail. They are new every morning,
great is your faithfulness."
Lamentations 3:22-23

I agree fully :)

One last thing, I created a tumblr. Visit me at http://cherry-cordials.tumblr.com :) Thank you Alyssa, for introducing me to it. For those who aren't sure what tumblr is, it's actually more or less like another blog. Though it's slightly neater (if you know what I mean), and harder to handle ;) I think I'll still stick to blogging, it's neater (tidier; in other words). But, do try making one, and add me if you have tumblr :)

I'll start off with a very interesting text message I received from my friend today :
On the 7th of August, 2009...
At 34 mins and 56 seconds past 12...
The time and date will read...
12:34:56 7/8/09; meaning :
123456789
This won't happen again for another thousand years!
Impressive, to me :)

I found it cool, didn't you? I mean, how lucky are we to be able to experience something like this. It's not so awesome that it has to go into the Guinness Book of World Records for being one of the most impressive that has happened to the 21st Century. But, it's pretty amusing to realize that our generation got to experience it. And the next generation in another 1000 years, will experience something that we did :D
I know it doesn't make sense.

Here's another 10 cool facts that made me think :

1. It is illegal NOT to smile in Pocatello, Idaho.
2. By feeding hens certain dyes, they can be made to lay eggs with multi-coloured yolks.
3. Hummingbirds can't walk.
4. It is physically impossible for pigs to look up into the sky.
5. The average human body contains enough iron to make a small nail.
6. A man once sued his doctor because he survived his cancer longer than the doctor predicted.
7. The number of births that occur in India each year is higher than the entire population of Australia.
8. The search engine Google got its name from the word googol, which refers to the number one with a hundred zeros after it.
9. Ants don't sleep.
10. McDonald's salads contain up to 60% more fat than their burgers.

Enough facts? I'll stop :) Love.

Love will find a way :)

I looked so weird then, with super short hair and pink pants? Where did that come from? What seemed like years ago was actually only a few months :( When will I get over leaving all of you? :/

I miss the two of you like, a hamster misses carrots :) And, I miss Nezzy and Kat too. I miss the days when the five of us would sit down and talk about Summer in The City and all that :) *faraway smile*
We will meet again one day, I have so much to tell all of you. And, aly, I'm still waiting for that call, ringgg ringggg :) Kathryn, I talked to you just that day. Lea and Nezzy, will call you two soon, love you girls for infinity and beyond :D

p/s; I still can't believe aly and nezzy went for FAME without telling me ;) And, it looks like Lea is going one day before me, which means I won't be seeing her :( oh wellss, but I'm going with Sandralee :) And, that means having a night out with her watching Li Ann do a somersault in the air. I remember seeing her in Witches of Oz, I felt so primitive when I squealed, because that time I hardly saw my friends on stage ;) Well, that was 3 years ago, so it's been put behind in the past, along with other embarassing moments :D
Love.

These three things;

2009-07-14T18:52:00.004+08:00

Character. Knowledge. Skill.

Character; something that I need to work on. Character isn't all about just acting nice and being nice. It's about being good on the inside and the outside. It's like you're a crab, not a hermit crab. A crab has an outer layer that it grows once it matures, but when it's just born, the shell is still pretty soft and can be easily peeled open. Character is something like that, you need to practice it till it's almost perfect. And it will stay with you for as long as you're on Earth. It's a choice that you will have to make in the end. Do you want to have a tolerable or barely tolerable character? It's like, something we all need.

Knowledge; something we obtain from books, teachers, parents, perhaps even a tele. Knowledge is usually gained when you go to school. Because that's where there's always a teacher who will help nurture your brain, and help you grow in many aspects. Parents do that to, maybe they help with your homework, or point out the difficulties in your life and teach you how to overcome them. They all want to help us in our daily lives. But, knowledge is important. It helps you develop your character and your abilities. Without knowledge, you may not be wanted in jobs in the future. And you may never have a career, and you most definitely won't have the best out of you. God made us all with a brain to think, something we should be thankful for and show our appreciation by using it :)

Skill; is something we obtain when we specialise in something. For example, a musician. Most musicians either have been born with a talent or have practiced so hard that they obtained their goal. But even if they were born with that talent, if they never try to mature it or practice, they may never get to be a musician. And you might not be able to develop your skill. God has given all of us a skill, you may be good in music, writing or giving good advice. Even that is a skill. Everyone's special :)

All three of the above is something I definitely haven't done properly. I think I should focus on these three things while I'm still in the stage of a student. Even all of you :) So, go with the flow.

Love.

My weekend has been a cheery mixture. Saturday was nothing but fun, the tap tap game is irresistable to some :) I never knew that Richard Ranjit was that good at it, it seemed as though he was typing. Me, that's another case altogether. Sandralee cannot beat me (she did once by chance); just joking ;) Tammy and Deb are great competitors, they need to get one themselves. And Mark, he beat me by 7000; I hide my face behind the cloak. And, of course there was the dreadful test. I suppose I shan't flunk it, but I don't think I'll be getting an A either. :/ It wasn't difficult, yet quite difficult.

Sunday was a continuation of these, filled with 10 fingers popping away. Sandra and Kenric were ever so close in score :) Ben Phua and Kenneth, were interesting ;) Sandralee STILL couldn't beat me (smiles to self), ;)

The message on the Holy Spirit was really intriguing. It made me ponder on it while I was having the air being blown all over my face. :) And, I had pancakes for lunch again *speechless* It wasn't as bad as the previous occasion, but it wasn't all that great either. It was like a sweet lunch, not my type. To me, breakfast can be either sweet or savoury. Lunch has to be savoury. Dinner has to be savoury. And dessert, is obviously sweett :)

I have decided that most of my posts shall be filled to the brim with words. Words are something that no one can replace. I mean, what would the world be like without words? We would have to communicate with sign language, but even then. How would people know what the signs mean without knowing words? Words are so important, especially to someone who depends too much on it. :D

Posts filled with words, that's what I call it. But, to Daniel (my ever so dear friend), it's called walls of text. Not exactly the kind of words I would have chosen, but that's not up to me :)

My science teacher fell terribly sick today, she came in with an undescribable expression. It was normal at first, but we realized that she was actually squinting in pain. She had an extremely bad headache. I suppose if a tough person like her was wincing in pain, we would have found it pretty unbearable. In the end, she looked like she was ready to faint at any second. Her face was pale and she was sweating cold sweat.

Luckily, she was taken to the Sick Bay for inspection. She could barely walk, she needed support. I feel for her. I wonder if she went home, never saw her after that. :/ Praying for you, Pn. Chu.

I never realized how my sense of humour has changed. I used to laugh unnecessarily, even when I'm not supposed to. Now, when I think back. I blush whenever I think about it, it must have been very weird :/ At least now I understand what I'm laughing about, eventhough I can still laugh uncontrollably at times. But then, what would life be like without laughter, especially from those unaware of it :)

I realized that I despise the word that oh, so many people use nowadays. Before I go into my debate mode, I once had a friend (jun wei), who asked me. What's the first word that comes to your head when you think of a four letter word beginning with the letter f? I reply, fork. He says, are you sure? I say, of course. But now that I think of it, what was the first word that came to mind? I assume it was that word, but I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because the surroundings around me keep using it, or it's just that the world has been polluted with all these unnecessary words. I despise it. I wish this world had a little more goodness in it, I'm sure there is, deep down inside somewhere. We should all just make a difference, and use it less.

Rawr.

Michael Jackson makes me feel, sad :( I never really supported or thought of him when he was still alive, but now that he's passed on, I keep thinking about it. About him, about his life, about his career, about his Neverland, about his children, about his family, about his music. I wish he had a second chance, and lived a happier life. But, he'll always be remembered by most people, after all, he is the King of Pop :) He was really adorable when he was young, he could sing songs like 'I Want You Back' or 'Crazy Kinda Crush On You' :) Love his songs.

I'll end here, next post will be up soon :)

New Divide.

Just wanted to share this song with you, it may not seem to be to your liking at first, but the longer you listen to it, it becomes more than meets the eye :

I remembered black skies, the lightning all around
me;
I remembered each flash as time began to
blur,
Like a startling sign that fate had
finally found me;
And your voice was all I
heard that I get what I deserve.
So give me reason to prove me wrong,
to wash this memory clean;
Let the floods cross the distance in
your eyes,
Give me reason to fill this hole,
connect the space between;
Let it be enough to reach the truth
that lies across this new divide.

There was nothing in sight but
memories left abandoned;
There was nowhere to hide, the ashes
fell like snow,
And the ground caved in between where
we were standing;
And your voice was all I heard that I
get what I deserve.

So give me reason to prove me
wrong, to wash this memory clean;
Let the floods cross the distance in
your eyes across this new divide.

In every loss, in every lie, in
every truth that you'd deny;
And each regret and each goodbye was a
mistake too great to hide,
And your voice was all I heard that I
get what I deserve.

So give me reason to prove me
wrong, to wash this memory clean;
Let the floods cross the distance in
your eyes,
Give me reason to fill this hole,
connect the space between;
Let it be enough to reach the truth
that lies across this new divide,
Across this new divide, across this
new divide.

Hope you enjoyed it; New Divide. by Linkin Park. :)

Sure, there are some other nice ones as well, but this one are one of the better ones in the Transformers 2 album.

I've also recently taken a liking to; A Fine Frenzy. She's a really good singer, and one of my favourites is; Lifesize. But most of her songs are pretty enjoyable, so listen if you get the chance to :)

I'll be off now, today's test wasn't as creepy as I imagined, but still. I musn't get my hopes up too high for now. *fingers crossed*

Love, as usual :/

Take a deep breath :)

2009-07-10T19:09:00.005+08:00

I'm back;

The H in the Huey and the N in the Nin, is back :)
*stretches self* It's been a long rest, and I suppose I should be getting back to business ;)
Since I haven't really been up to date, I shall start with the latest to the, olden days etc.
.
My sis is hommeee :) It's a little on the late side, but it's better than nothing :D She's been home for about a week and five days, though she's going back in another 6 days time *frowns* It should be a little longer, but who I am to say all that? Perhaps it's just a way to make us crave for our siblings or friends to come home sooner. And, it might make us look at them in an altogether different spotlight. :)
A wise sibling once told me that the best bloggers are those who update weekly, not daily. There's nothing wrong with updating daily of course, I used to do that. And, many other people do too :) But, the more I thought about what my sister said, I began to realize that it's actually true. When you update rarely, people actually wait for it to happen. When you update daily, people expect it to actually happen in just an instant. I don't know about you, but I found it rather stressful. So, from now on, weekly :)
.
Church Camp was actually a pretty big impact in life for most people. I haven't gone to one for perhaps 4-6 years, and it was actually a little peculiar to be back in the whole, stay in the room in Kampar idea. But, it actually struck some thoughts in me that I may or may not have thought in my everyday life. The speaker, who turned out to be my sister's ex-dentist, was actually a very thoughtful speaker. He isn't the type who just makes you sit up straight and pay attention, no. He's the kind who makes you listen carefully and ponder over each detail. I have to be honest, and admit that sometimes I drift away from the message, but I do try my best to listen.
It was fun, staying in the same room with my two besties. The only two who can make me do cheerleading on a fluffy bed and do a tumble roll. The only two who can make me laugh when I'm trying my best to act all upset, eventhough it's rather impossible at times. And, of course. There are times when we fight. But isn't that the way in all friendships? I'll change the lyrics a little. We fight we break out, we talk we make out :) It didn't sound right.
Kat, I wish you were there :( You should've been. And, my sis too :)
The YF games seemed to have been transported all the way to Church Camp '09. We would've thought the games would have been a little bit more, less challenging. But, it was just as bad. With all the baguette and raw potatoes stuffed down my throat, along with huge gulps of root beer mixed with soya sauce, not a very tasty combination. *giggles* And the push-ups and sit-ups definitely caused a few sores here and there. I can still remember.
Loved the steamboat, I really shouldn't be talking about fooooodddd. But sometimes it's just so hard to resist.
.
Next in line will be the whole political issue on BM and ENGLISH. The results came out yesterday and I find it shocking. I don't want to say too much just incase I get arrested by the FBI, though I do not agree with it. BM may be a unique language, but did they even bother thinking about our career's in the future? I don't think other countries abroad use BM in their studies or courses. No offense, but I thought they could have used a little more, up there. :/
.
I watched a movie on Hallmark that day, called "Our Home". Touching, yes. Sad, tremendously. If I lived a life like them, I would find it a little harder to tolerate. But as always, the show ends up with a happy ending, along with a sad one. The kind, optimistic main character passed on, but she changed other lives matter of factly. If only life was more justified.
.
I have a feeling my pet hamster, Floss, suffers from claustrophobia. For he seems to enjoy hiding behind his cute little pink house. I would show a picture as proof, though it's a little hard to get it. Another thing, he got a new cage :) And this one has tubes for him to crawl through :D
.
I'm looking forward to a bright new year, with a brand new start. Oh, the joy of hope and love :) Though, there are some pro and con's in all these. But, overall it's for the best. :/
.
Transformer's was ubber awesome :) Went with sis to KLCC today, and we were both veryyy tempted to watch it once again. But we managed to bring out our self-control and decided that we shouldn't. After all, the movie is 150 minutes long, as quoted from a friend ;) And, we didn't have all that time. I was wondering if I should watch Ice Age 3; though I heard it wasn't all that good. :/ So, I suppose I shan't. *grins*
.
If I haven't told you before, I have started my own little blogger handbook. Which I use to record down any interesting sudden inspirations that pop up suddenly, over the minutes, hours, days, weeks and months :) It's actually pretty handy ;)
.
I think I shall end here, for now. Will update again, soon :)
Love, as usual.

Pop It, Lock It, Polka Dot It :)

I experienced the best of both worlds today :D

It's not that bad, to be honest with you all. Infact, my mum rated it 'okay'; which means if it's 'okay' to an adult, it must have been really good for a teenager :)

At least, I think that's what it means :/

After that; we went around shopping. Bought a new swimsuit, *phew*, the one I had was barely tolerable. I got one I actually like best, compared to all my previous swimsuit(s).:D Perhaps I'll go swimming during Church Camp. Hello, it has a humongous swimming pool area, p/s; it's located in the Grand Kampar Hotel, Kampar, Malaysia :)

That reminds me on another thing, I'm travelling in my parents car...wait for it...and guess who's in it along with me and my parents...wait for it...Li Ann :) I don't hear anything, let's try it again. Guess who's in it along with me and my parents...wait for it...Li Ann! *hooray* Okies, I'll take that as a hoorah :D Excited much, aren't you po? And, I've got OREOS; if you're not excited, you're not the civilised generation, JK :)

Sandralee; tomorrow. tomorrow. I love you. tomorrow. it's just a day awayyyy :) Don't know that song? It's from some cartoon I watched ages ago :/ About a mouse family being separated and his sister and him are singing it in different parts of the world, blah, bleh, blah :)

I'm running off track, after shopping, we went to the Times bookstore, and I saw the following quote :

The more that you read,
The more things you will know.
The more that you learn,
The more places that you'll go.

It's by Dr. Seuss, don't you find that Dr. one intelligent one? *cough* He does create quite good quotes, I suppose. p/s; here's a reminder to all the children of the world, have you got your father a Father's Day present yet? 'Cause if you haven't, go get one. It's just a week away. So shooo :) I've got mine in the bag, heh, it's a surprise, so no telling *not that you know* :D

I actually wanted to watch Night At The Museum 2 today, but I suppose I can catch it another time, the show I watched today wasn't that bad at all. In fact, it was funnaayy :)) Really, I'm serious. You should have heard us, we were practically laughing our hearts out.

I think I'll be off now. Off to join my parents for Mr. Siow's Mandarin Class; have you watched it? Neither have I. But I'm going to try it out, my parents tell me it's h-i-l-a-r-i-o-u-s :D And, ever heard of the book, The Princess Plot; well read it, reallllyy nice :)

Good nite.

p/s; you have to listen to the Hoedown, it's nice :)
