Oh! So Cliche

duh...

2011-01-06T20:37:00.000-08:00

duh, you're all fake, aren't you.. :( i have no REAL viewers. the only real viewers are my mom, cousin and boyfriend. the rest of you go straight to the eye candy post.

oh well, beggars can't be choosers. :)

OH MY GOSH

2011-01-06T02:10:00.000-08:00

I HAVE LOST THE ABILITY TO PUT COLOURS IN THE WORDS OF MY BLOG!!! AND I CAN'T CHANGE FONT SIZE EITHER!!!!!

that's the two things my blog stands for... :(

DAMN YOU BLOGSPOT!! GIVE ME BACK MY POWERSSSSS

flabbergasted

2011-01-06T01:51:00.000-08:00

i think i've posted before with this title.. or could that be on the other blogs i so horribly abandoned?

haha

anyway,

as you can see in my chatbox (psst! it's on your right) and these nice people say such flattering things about my blog.

this little nagging part of me worries that it's not real people on the other end :S nono, not as in ghosts. but like... computer generated?

like one time, my friend told me to add "spleak" on msn. well, little did i know Spleak was a program. she sent IMs and asked questions, answered questions, the whole package.

haha, funny to say

the only question she did not answer was

"are you real?"

ok back to the main point here.

my kind viewers, are you real? :)

Mieza, you asked on the theme of my blog.

i so humbly ask, did you mean the layout? cause that's from blogger itself :)

the theme as in what i write/blog about,

well, that's kinda... part of me.

okay, for the first time ever, i'll explain my blog.

So here's the thing:

I love colours, so i add lots of colours to my post... but now, blogger's being mean to me and won't let me post in colour... odd eh? (as you can see, my previous post on "if life were like glee" has only one colour. i know i know.. BO-RING! i'm tryna fix it, okay?? :S hopefully this post will be in colour..!
speaking of adding colour, i usually do that when i'm done typing. it's easier. You get to check for mistakes, cause you're re-reading it again, and you get to get in touch with your creative, artistic side. heck, it's fun!
words all clumped together spells BORING. (omigosh, a thousand english teachers just rolled over!) so i like to play around a little with where i put my words. on the left, right, middle, in a list
a picture holds a thousand words. so with all the pictures i put up on my blog, IT'S A LONG BLOG :D
i feel really bad for taking pictures off the net and posting them up here... THEY'RE NOT MINE!! well, cept of course for the photos i edited... the paint program is fun! yes, that is me.
i like green, and thanks to the layout, hummingbirds are growing on me :)
sizes of words (or fonts) also play a big role. they help you convey tone, sorta. and they put emphasis on stuff :D

yea well that's pretty much it. :) simple.

mieza, i hope you aren't some whacko computer program, because you sound so nice!

big hugs for you!

if life were like glee

2011-01-05T04:08:00.000-08:00

i won't post about it here, duh... but something bad has happened. and i haven't been able to sleep. i feel like kurt... haunted.

my cousin gave me the entire Speak Now album

um (yes, i've recently become a taylor swift fan)

i'm singing my lungs out now, it's one of the only ways to deal with my problems.

So here's to all you tormented, bullied people out there. SING!

These are lyrics for "Better Than Revenge" by Taylor Swift. i had fun with this song. i wish i had guts to put up a cover. :S

Now go stand in the corner and think about what you did

Ha, Time for a little revenge
Verse:
The story starts when it was hot and it was summer
And, I had it all; I had him right there where I wanted him
She came along, got him along, and let's hear the applause
She took him faster than you can say sabotage
I never saw it coming, nor did I suspected it
I underestimated just who I was dealing with
She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum
She underestimated just who she was stealing from

[Chorus]
She's not a saint and she's not what you think
She's an actress, Whoa
But she's better known for the things that she does
On the mattress, Whoa
Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys on the playground
Won't make you many friends
She should keep in mind,
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge, Ha

[Verse]
She lives her life like it's a party and she's on the list
She looks at me like I'm a trend and she's so over it
I think her ever present frown is a little troubling
And, she thinks I'm psycho
Cause I like to rhyme her name with things, but
Sophistication isn't what you wear, or who you know
Or pushing people down to get you where you wanna go
Oh they didn't teach you that in prep school
So it's up to me
But no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity
(think about what you did)
[Chorus]
She's not a saint and she's not what you think
She's an actress, Whoa
She's better known for the things that she does
On the mattress, Whoa
Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys on the playground
Won't make you many friends
She should keep in mind,
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge, Ha ha

[Bridge]
I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey
You might have him, but haven't you heard
I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey
You might have him, but I always get the last word
Whoa

[Chorus]
She's not a saint and she's not what you think
She's an actress, Whoa
She's better known for the things that she does
On the mattress, Whoa
Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys on the playground
Won't make you many friends
She should keep in mind,
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge,

And do you still feel like you know what you're doing,
Cause I don't think you do, Oh
Do you still feel like you know what you're doing
I don't think you do, I don't think you do
Let's hear the applause
C'mon show me how much better you are
See you deserve some applause
Cause you're so much better
She took him faster than you can say sabotage

and here's another one...

these are lyrics to "Mean" by Taylor Swift.

You, with your words like knives
And swords and weapons that you use against me,
You, have knocked me off my feet again,
Got me feeling like I’m nothing.
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
Calling me out when I’m wounded.
You, pickin’ on the weaker man.

Well you can take me down,
With just one single blow.
But you don’t know, what you don’t know,

Someday, I’ll be living in a big old city,
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean.
Someday, I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me,
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean.
Why you gotta be so mean?

You, with your switching sides,
And your walk by lies and your humiliation
You, have pointed out my flaws again,
As if I don’t already see them.
I walk with my head down,
Trying to block you out cause I’ll never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again.

I bet you got pushed around,
Somebody made you cold,
But the cycle ends right now,
You can’t lead me down that road,
You don’t know, what you don’t know

Someday, I’ll be, living in a big old city,
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean.
Someday, I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me,
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean.
Why you gotta be so mean?

And I can see you years from now in a bar,
Talking over a football game,
With that same big loud opinion but,
Nobody’s listening,
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things,
Drunk and grumbling on about how I can’t sing.

But all you are is mean,
All you are is mean.
And a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life,
And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean

But someday, I’ll be, living in a big old city,
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean. Yeah,
Someday, I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me,
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean.
Why you gotta be so ?
Someday, I’ll be, living in a big old city,
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean. Yeah,
Someday, I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me,
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean.
Why you gotta be so mean?

Yes, i know most of it is taylor swift, but her new album spells me, and i can't resist a song that has empowering lyrics...

here's one that i've loooveddd for a long time now
it's "Haunted" by Taylor Swift. it seems to SPELL ME right now...

[Verse 1]
You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
But I never thought I'd live to see it break
It's getting dark and its all too quiet
And I can't trust anything now
And its comin' over you like its all a big mistake

Holding my breath, won't lose you again
Something's made your eyes go cold

[Chorus]
Come on, come on don’t leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong, you're all I wanted
Come on, come on don’t leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can’t breathe whenever you’re gone
Can’t turn back now, I’m haunted

[Verse 2]
Stood there and watched you walk away
From everything we had
But I still mean every word I said to you
He will try to take away my pain
And he just might make me smile
But the whole time I'm wishin' he was you instead

Oh, oh, holding my breath, won't see you again
Something keeps me holding on to nothing

[Chorus]
Come on, come on don’t leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong, you're all I wanted
Come on, come on don’t leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can’t breathe whenever you’re gone
Can’t turn back now, I’m haunted

[Bridge]
I know, I know, I just know
You're not gone, you can't be gone
No

[Chorus]
Come on, come on don’t leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
Won't finish what you started
Come on, come on don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can’t breathe whenever you’re gone can’t go back
I’m haunted

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
Never ever thought I'd see it break
Never thought I'd see it

ah yes.

i was in the car with my mom, and we heard this song play on the radio. I found it so hard to fight back the tears that welled in my eyes.

it's "Brokenhearted Me" by Anne Murray

Every now and then I cry
Every night you keep stayin' on my mind
All my friends say I'll survive
It just takes time

CHORUS
But I don't think time is gonna heal this broken heart
No I don't see how it can if it's broken all apart
A million miracles could never stop the pain
Or put all the pieces together again
No I don't think time is gonna heal this broken heart
No I don't see how it can while we are still apart
And when you hear this song
I hope that you will see
That time won't heal a broken-hearted me

Every day is just the same
Playin' games, different lovers, different names
They keep sayin' I'll survive
It just takes time

CHORUS

Time won't heal a broken-hearted me

yes, i know it's an oldie. but oldies rock... they're so meaningful.

if life were like Glee, i'd be singing these out to YOU. and i want to, no doubt.

sadly, we aren't in glee, we're in real life.

so i just have to suck it up.

ICK!

Painful goodbyes

My standings

2010-11-24T02:02:00.001-08:00

i was studying history (sejarah) for the finals tomorrow, and i got so pissed off by it i went on paint to draw a graph...

Graph showing level of :) against subjects

i hope you teachers see what i (and probably many others) go through...

exam's tomorrow!

2010-11-22T05:00:00.001-08:00

parents don't know this, but when they're so worked up about their children's exams, their child automatically feels pressured. for me, i feel like if i don't get good marks, then i'm letting everyone down.

so, a word of advice,
yes, mum i know you read my blog...

JUST RELAX!

epiphany

2010-11-20T23:33:00.000-08:00

otherwise known as "sudden realization of great truth" (yes yes, it's from that simpsons movie..)

Boy george is the "oldies" version of Lady Gaga
yes, yes, he's a dude...

and here's miss Gaga

i mean, it's their immense love for eccentricity that makes them seem so similar! and they're not afraid to be different. very, very different. which is what i love about them.

It's late. I know. I'm on mobile. I'll explain later. Haha!

2010-11-20T09:10:00.000-08:00

paranoia

2010-11-20T06:13:00.001-08:00

my Feedjit tells me that people are viewing my "on special request" post.

the only thing there is my photo...

do you like moi?

omg.. i'm so perasan..

i'm delirious.

on special request

2010-11-17T06:42:00.000-08:00

there, you wanted this, Felix Baby Wong!

if i were an anime

2010-11-17T04:26:00.000-08:00

today, i went to straighten my hair... now it's so straight, i look like some anime.. -.- not that i hate anime.

omg this is fun.. lemme try some more stuff

and yes, i did it all on Paint, so SUE ME if it looks creepy..

ok sorry for the scare.. i was just curious..

a little confused

2010-11-14T04:42:00.000-08:00

with the increasing number of views to my "eye candy" post,

i'm not sure whether i should feel thankful for ever putting that post up O.o

is my blog that much of a bore?!

pattern

2010-11-13T06:39:00.001-08:00

i think i just figured out my cat's sleeping pattern

i love my cat

2010-11-13T06:21:00.001-08:00

awww he's so cute... :D

and believe me, there's more..

O.o

2010-11-13T05:58:00.000-08:00

i've just downloaded that "feedjit" thing.. umm, on your right, if you're reading this.

and it tells me what people view my blog for.

i've realized that majority of the people view my blog for the "eye candy" post...

i don't know what's sadder..
the fact that nobody actually reads my blog,

or the fact that the only people who read my blog only do so to swoon over guys...

*sigh* i guess nobody'll ever read this piece of crap..

lemmings!

2010-11-13T05:31:00.000-08:00

isn't it just SO ADORABLE?!

Oh my god.

i've recently (okay, maybe not so recently) gotten to be very obsessed over LEMMINGS.

i mean, they're so cute! and round, and soft :D

and there's this myth about them throwing themselves off cliffs into the ocean.
well, according to Animal Planet, the myth started when (apparently) 2 guys were trying to film lemmings, and they put the lemming on a snow-covered turning table. so it's like a huge, snowy, horizontal hamster wheel. and to add a little more drama, they went outdoors and herded the lemmings to a cliff by a river. O.o and you can see where the myth came from..

apparently, Animal Planet thinks that
it isn't that the lemmings throw themselves off cliffs,
it's that we humans choose to believe anything,

even something so far fetched.

lol, sorry humans. i just added in the speech bubble for fun.
THE LEMMINGS NEED TO BE HEARD!

like the new look?

2010-11-11T06:13:00.000-08:00

it's a fresh start. again :)

ouch

2010-11-06T07:38:00.000-07:00

just

ouch.

facebook hurts..

mum strikes again! moo..

2010-11-06T03:07:00.000-07:00

so yesterday, i had to help my mom prepare dinner. yes world, the maid has left the building. so anyway. she (my mum) was at the stove. and i was behind her. she exclaimed "no no! don't go to near the fire! you are going to DIE, you know??"
so i was like "umm.. mum, i'm behind you. and i don't think i'll DIE"
she cut me off saying "nonono!! not that way!" and she started to tap on the stove with the lighter.
i asked "mum, what the heck?"
she answered...

"no, i'm not talking to you. i'm talking to the cicak."

note: "cicak" means house lizard... my mum was talking to a house lizard. and she was afraid it would DIE. in the fire. on the stove.
i'm starting to think i'm adopted...

and last night, after tuition class, we reached the dimly lit porch at home. i realized that in the grocery bag next to me, there was a packet of "Olive Oil" something. i was so intrigued. wow, my parents actually bought something healthy, for a change... "wwaaaa!!! Daddy, what's this olive oil doing in the--" i picked it out of the bag...

they were olive oil.. CHIPS! exactly as in the picture.. the plastic bag had covered the "potato chips" part of it.

dad merely frowned and answered,
"you're like the customs check and immigration officer."

and then today, mum and dad went shopping. and they came back with a large metal bucket.. much like this one :i asked "are you going to milk a cow with that?" hahaha she answered..

"no, we're going to milk YOU"

why did i even ask?

i am disgusted

2010-11-04T04:41:00.001-07:00

spnl

2010-11-04T04:25:00.000-07:00

i've nearly finished studying :)

i've studied up till chapter 4 and a half.

GOD i wish i hadn't misplaced my notes!

ughh exams

2010-11-04T01:47:00.000-07:00

there's a physics test tomorrow. the entire Form 5 syllabus.

SHOOT!

i just checked the time table.. we're the second class to have it. which only means one thing..

no hints.

brace youselves, people. it's gonna be a bumpy ride.

Poof! (cont'd)

2010-11-03T04:48:00.000-07:00

yes world, i'm back! i was just rooting through some old stuff and i remembered..

OMG MY BLOG!!

so yeah, that's why i've decided to start it up again

since i've last blogged, i've:

learnt some very valuable life lessons
made some lifechanging friends
still cherished everyone
gotten a pet name -.-
managed to get pretty good results :) even if u teachers don't think so =(
grown a little fatter? a little..
changed my hair? i little?
not showered. (haha just kidding there, hygiene freaks)
grown a year older.
gotten INTERNET IN MY ROOM~!!!

yeah, life's been a roller coaster. amazing picture from deviantart. it's so awesome i simply cannot take credit for it and must tell you where it came from :) LOL

Though that's just high school. The last official day of school is over. Another step closer to adulthood :)

it's funny, looking back. So many things change. It's heart-breaking yet twistedly beautiful. People change, and as a friend of mine says "friends become strangers, strangers become friends"

Yes, so so cliche. i'll miss all of you. yes, ALL of you.

if you've hurt me,
if i've hurt you,
i'll still miss you.
whether or not you choose to miss me
i'll still miss you.

okok, enough with this emo sh*t. That can come later.

I've got hooked onto FPS games (first person shooter) games. and i quote my cousin "I never took you for the 'eat lead mo-fos!' type". Quite frankly, i've never thought that i'd take a liking to them either. but let me tell you something...

THEY ARE JUST FRIGGIN AWESOME

and they make good stress relievers too :)

aaanyway,

The game that got me started is none other than ...ok, i need a moment to recover from the awesome-ness of this game.. yes, i'm damn sakai, k?

i'm playing mw1 now, but it's laggy.. i have no idea why. maybe u guys can help me? :)

ahem.. VICTOR~!!!!

yes, i know i know, i played it backwards. SUE ME the autograph books and signed uniforms are pouring in at school. :) we used to look at our seniors thinking "man, i wish that were me" now, i wish i weren't a senior. there's the big spm, the leaving, the goodbyes, ughh... it sucks.

but i guess we've all got to grow. :) and this seems like.. step one.

every journey begins with the first step. first cut is the deepest. i could go on.

anyway, i think i'm done for now. here's to hoping THIS blog won't die. again. :) CIAO!

Poof!

2010-11-03T04:44:00.000-07:00

oh yeahh

2009-10-27T23:19:00.000-07:00

exams are over. and bloggers of lodge are definitely posting on how happy they are :)

and i'm one of them, so there!

Final say

2009-10-10T08:46:00.000-07:00

this will probably be my last post for the next.. 3 weeks or so.

exams as usual. FINALS.

i'd better show improvement!

.. but i'm not working. i'm lazing. i can't even phrase myself correctly now. O.o

y'know, since joining RO, i've realized something. yes, u can go ahead and laugh...

I'm a NOOB KIA.

too paiseh to do anything. -.- too paiseh to go buy stuff cause if i do, den i'd have to ask around and probably annoy the others. too paiseh to hit anyone, which is why i only hit back when other ppl hit me. that, and my com's a little laggy so instead of walking, i click on them and den i hit them. I think i barely damage them. barely. so far, ive gotten no where. i won't give up, though. it's my first time :) but that's no excuse. I guess i should just go out and get a shirt that says "NOOB" on it and wear it my entire life. though that would make a nice shirt O.o LOL

my friends have really helped me and without them, i'd definitely be noobier than the noob i am. This is the part where it's practically all up to me. all up to me to learn more about the equipment (or as they say EQ) and up to me to put stuff into practice. it's hard to put into words. oh the irony!

ppl are online now. and i'm blogging. they're off to kill each other. lol. if i'd gone with them, i think i'd die with one click. -.- it's embarassing. cause unlike maple, you don't need as much hand-eye coordination. it's all about gearing up and going. i don't really have the gearing up part down yet. and i definitely haven't gone anywhere. so.. yeah.. i'm stuck in noobsville until further notice.

and by the looks of it, i think i might be here awhile.

a long while.

*sigh* okok.. enough whining... i'm off to die in one click

here we go again

2009-10-09T06:52:00.000-07:00

it's time...

the last stand off for this year...

it's

THE FINAL TERM EXAM!

oh frigging no.. Paper 3 is in.. about two days. and i (we?) have no clue on what to expect. i mean, after all, it's our first ever time :S

* * *

I think i'll post some of my drawings up. because:

nobody actually reads this blog :)
i soooo do not camwhore... camera shy
i wanna try out photoshop

heh heh.

i apparently have a new name.. Looveelyn Thaandoorii. and my "wife's" name is Meeliissaa Thaandoorii. and we've ADOPTED a Taaniaa Thaandoorii. (note: Taaniaa's my.. SON)

i'm about to go all out on RO.. ok, maybe not all out.
i've never actually gone all out in a game before.
Excluding maple and Left 4 Dead of course. lol :P
oh and solitaire.

whaatt?? it was ICT class.. i was bored :S
...
..
.
and then there's minesweeper

I really shouldn't be here

2009-10-07T05:51:00.000-07:00

no, it's not that survival thing on tv.

i'm really not supposed to be here.. Online, i mean. paper 3 exams are next week. uh oh. it's the first time ever that we'd be sitting for it. our first paper 3~ :) definitely a story to tell our kids. hahaha.

but i tried to study. i miraculously felt like studying even. but one thing kept me from accomplishing the unaccomplishable.

i forgot to bring home my books. =S

oops.

i'm left with my chem notebook, which i forgot to bring to school today. careless? i think so.

recently, i've been hooked onto Paparrazi by Lady Gaga. It's a good song! lol.. catchy too. i'd blast it in my ears everyday when i get home from school. everyday. it's been about a week now. O.o maybe it'll manifest into some kind of medical problem. O.o

I've also begun playing RO. lol, not much to say about that. i'm still a beginner. but mag plays it too!! OMG!!!!! HAHAHA

~

ughh.. i'm really supposed to be studying.
but i've done add maths, and memorized a bit of bio and chem. WHY AM I SO FORGETFUL?!!

i feel so guilty..

Rojak

2009-09-24T22:55:00.000-07:00

why rojak? well, i've been letting this blog slide (again), so i'mma update u on EVERYTHING that has happened since my last post. and quite alot has happened. quite.. y'know, come to think of it, not that much has happened. O.o

so anyway, the holidays started an unexpected day early. most of u must be like "yea yea we know". i ketinggalan zaman, okay??

how did i spend my hols? the first 5 days were DA BOMB! jayne (my tiny ten year old cousin) came to stay with us cause her parents were at melbourne. then crystine came over and.. *brace yourselves*

SHE DID HER HOMEWORK HERE

speaking of homework.
i did my bio notes, just haven't really finished them. but they're colourful (as usual)

i haven't studied for the 3 tests on wednesday. yes, we have three tests.. bio, chem and physics. CRAP NYE!

O.o

2009-09-17T22:42:00.000-07:00

=.= omg, this blog is slipping right through me. No posts in so long. (but heck, who reads it anyway? T_T)

happy hari raya! :D LOL so sudden

i'm an un-only only child for a week :D ngehehehh

Yea, my 10 year old cousin is sleeping over. for a week. :D her parents are in MELBOURNE. O.o

so it's just been announced that today is a holiday. YAY! :D

ughh i can't think of anything to blog about..

i'm singing in church again this sunday. woo.. six in the morning. -_- but we all gotta begin somewhere, i guess. lol. marcus says he's going. I think i freaked the crumbs outta him the first time. (yes, there was a first time lol)

man... cannot sleep late liaw. =( lol ohwell

happy merdeka

no, i won't be blogging on how patriotic this day is. cause, frankly, the media has been doing a great job. it's a shame petronas doesn't do those adverts anymore. They were really good! especially the Hari Raya balik kampung themed ones.

so anyway, i was on the way to bm tuition, and after much planning, my aunt decided she'd take me. so after two stops, we got to the tuition centre and it was closed. WHOOPIE!!!! i was ecstatic. :D

but after awhile, it hit me.. there's school tomorrow and then there are those tests which i haven't really studied for. math, history.. then the day after that, BIO.. and on friday, ADD MATHS! gahhhh

this hols have been quite boring. quite.

so happy merdeka, everyone. there's school tomorrow. i'm at my cousin's place. but she's at tuition. along with her elder and younger sisters. i'm here with the youngest 2.

enjoy ur hols while u still can.
either that, or CRAM! CRAM LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT!

good ol' mum!

2009-08-25T07:04:00.000-07:00

so i was technically grounded today, cause i wasn't studying enough for the hols O.o so while i was cooped up in my room, mom and dad went out. Bliss (my golden retriever)needed food. So they drove to the nearby vet to get Pedigree.. yes, the dog has picky taste..

according to dad, here's the hilarious conversation between the vet and my mum;
Mum: do you have that Pedigree type of dog food? the one with three colours.. brown, yellow, green...
Vet: oh you mean three flavours?
Mum: nonono, three colours. Because ah, the dog seems to be attracted to the many colours. green especially. She eats a lot now, you know?! The green one attracts her attention alot.
Vet: ...... Dogs are colour blind.

HAHAHAHA!!!! YOU DON'T GET STUFF LIKE THIS IN REAL LIFE!!!
it sounds like something out of a sitcom!
LOL!!
SO CUTE!!!!

i love my mum

OH yeah!

2009-08-22T05:06:00.000-07:00

and i went for a blood test today too :D

Let me tell you a story

2009-08-22T04:24:00.000-07:00

Let me tell you a story.. it's an epic tale of two individuals who share a common ambition, with just two days, involving one computer, one ict class, one large Sze Hong and LOTS OF MANILA CARD AND STRING!

yes, my dear friends, i'm talking about sze's samurai costume!

it was thursday, ict class again. free internet :D so i facebooked.. :S i know i know, against the rules.. but

Students + internet = no coursework... at all..

so anyway, next to me were james and chris lau. heck, there were loads of ppl around. :S as i finished telling james about my cousin in singapore, (he's damn funny, btw) lol i decided to take a quiz. i settled for "what warrior are you" cause james reminds me of anime HAHHA

my result: SAMURAI

Me: eh eh james, look, i got samurai!
James: dazcool! (or smth like that :S)
Me: so nice la the armor.. *randomly recalls Japanese scene in merdeka play* Eh, James.. imagine if we dress sze in a giant samurai outfit! LOL
James: !!! CAN HOR!! so fun la! we should!
Me: O_o you wan? we start today, after school. i go take manila card from the office den we make in time for merdeka
James: cann can can!!

*the rest was history*

so later that day, after school, we rushed downstairs to the stage where our classmates were practicing. the table pushed infront of the stage provided us a great work place. The design of the costume was james' idea, i helped him cut, "sew", punch holes, STAPLE, RELOAD, pitch in ideas where i could, lol.. it was fun. :D

we hadn't gotten much done within the first day, but the next day, we kicked it into high gear and finished the entire thing :D and judging by the immense applause, you guys loved it :D

and after all that, i had a migrane :S HAHAHA

but it was all so worth it

i love you guys,
i wouldn't trade you for anything in the world.

we're like siblings,
given the squabbles and the disagreements,
we stick together,
we care for each other,
we sometimes hump each other O_o

but anyway,
WE ROCK!
never forget that

:D

Hurdle

2009-07-17T08:02:00.000-07:00

Look familiar?

What do you do when you encounter a hurdle?

Jump over it

Crawl under it

Break through itlol

get help

whatever the case, you have to overcome it
and move on

now i just have to take my own advice

guess what..!

2009-07-09T23:48:00.000-07:00

EXAMS ARE BLOODY OVER!

know what else?

WE
ARE

FREE!!

.

2009-07-07T03:47:00.000-07:00

two words

...

EXAM WEEK!

i really should be studying.
physics was an utter MESS
bio.. :D i took TWO fresh pieces of foolscap paper to write the rest of my essay cause the answer spaces in the exam slip weren't enough. OH YEAH.. i was kinda shocked with my long-windedness cause.. not even MAGDALENE took a single piece of paper!! O.o so now i'm worrying about whether what all i wrote was correct or not :S
sejarah, mag knocked briskly on the table and was given TWO sheets of foolscap paper on which she scribbled her answers down furiously. den jordan asked for paper.. and you'll never guess.. I asked for paper too! HAH! but i think i accidentally misspelled Quba' where the Nabi Muhammad s.a.w and Abu Bakar bin whatever guy built that masjid.. oops!
chem is in two days and i haven't studied ANYTHING today! :S
we were told that we all didn't do very well for addmath.

and lastly..

7. sitting behind magdalene in an exam week (especially this one!!) is undoubtedly

DEPRESSING!

facebook

2009-06-24T18:22:00.000-07:00

the latest class craze..

FACEBOOK

people are "buying friends", "stealing" them, making them "work", oh what fun!

lol, no, i'm not being sarcastic..

i'm just bummed..

ang mo-s did NOT come
stupid H1N1 flu
exams are coming soooooo soon
i didn't really start studying :S
i want to drop ICT but i don't know if i can :(
instead, i want to take up art as a subject
people keep buying my friends away from me in facebook.. dayum! lol but that's what makes it fun!

Whispers

2009-06-20T06:05:00.000-07:00

Y'know that game, Chinese whispers? it's where all the players line up and the first person is given an often complicated phrase or sentence to pass on the next person. The players are only given one chance to pass the message on to the next person. no redo-s, no repeats. What happens then if miscommunication were to occur? the initial message would be distorted and mangled into something completely different. If this happens, then the game would be over and the team would lose.

why am i telling you this?
you may ask

You probably recall the tragic incident in our school last thursday evening. the memory of it still haunts us. it haunts me. it was totally unexpected. many of my curious friends made an effort to call or text me to ask about it- and frankly, i didn't blame them. after all, i am..was?.. captain of the archery club in our school. i was supposed to know all about it. and i did. sort of. i wasn't there when it happened. and because of that, i feel slightly guilty. i feel guilty for abandoning my duties. though i am(was???) stationed on Mondays. i'm not actually responsible for the Thursday class. but sometimes i attend both days. sometimes. often on thursdays, i help carry down the rock heavy equipment and set up. but after the archery competition last last month, i haven't been going on thursdays. Maybe stop by once or twice, but nothing more. Nonetheless, i feel guilty. Everyone tells me i'm not guilty of anything, really. But i can't help feeling a little bit responsible. just a little. though now i'm slightly less burdened.. thank you again, friends for the comfort. thank you again for the reassurance. i really appreciate it.

you must've forgotten about the chinese whispers thing...
sorry, i got caught up in that..
i beg pardon to continue.

Since the incident, there have been countless versions of the story. Some versions were very close to the truth. but others were utterly blown out of proportion. I shall not include any details in this post, but i guess you could ask me in school if you need anything confirmed. i'd hate to see these rumours spread when they're fake. Tell it the way it really happened. though if you aren't sure if it's true, if you heard it from somewhere, i wouldn't blame you for believing. heck, i would believe it too. I just think it right for all of us to know what really happened, just the way it happened. don't you think? which is why i am willing to share what i know. and i am reasonably sure what i know is true. reasonably sure. So feel free to ask =)

i visited poor Justin at the hospital on friday. He's doing really well and it warms my heart to see him smiling even in such a state. I was utterly on the verge of tears.

i decided to start with the oh! so cliche "you probably don't know me"
it's harder to say it in real life than in movies.
Justin gave me an understanding expression and mouthed "i know you". he nodded.

Mumbling and stuttering at him, i told him i was sorry. He replied with a comical confused look. I smiled. such a strong young child. I explained that i felt guilty for not being there, for not taking action, for being a somewhat lousy captain, for letting it happen, for being ignorant enough to find out only AFTER it happened.. for everything. Justin couldn't talk - obviously- so he whispered two words. two words that made my chest heave a slight sob. two words that made my nose and eyes prickle. two words that i desperately needed to hear.

Justin smiled weakly, nodded and whispered "it's okay"

In that instant, i felt my knees buckle beneath me. i took a small step backwards to steady myself. Nobody seemed to notice my huge attempt at masking my feelings. i certainly wasn't going to break down here. i'd do that later. later was good.

When i left the room, (i followed Nat Sim and her brother Oliver after school) we went to get drinks. i felt like a weight had been lifted. it was a refreshing feeling.

The corridor was flooded with fellow lodgians. We stick together. it was an inspiring sight.

i'm sorry i didn't get a chance to post earlier.
i have a "curfew"

school

2009-06-17T18:36:00.000-07:00

yes, i am in school.. i have no idea what i'm supposed to do now, so i'mma blog a bit.

there's nothing much to say, really. :S school started on monday, so the holidays are officially offically offffiiicciialllyyyyy over..

the so-called "test day" is over too :) *silver lining*

physics was a blur, chem was a mess, but bio was actually quite okay. :)

i remember when i finished my essay along with the diagram of the cross-section of a leaf, with minutes to spare, i glanced over to my left and saw that hazel had finished as well. but my hopes were dashed as i also realized that her diagram was more detailed than mine. and by more detailed, i mean DAMN KENG AH!

when cikgu bio and cikgu kenny were collecting the papers after that, hazel started spazzing so i asked her what was up -obviously- and she held up two pieces of blank foolscap paper..

"where's your essay?"

"oh my god!! i wrote it on the wrong paper!!"

*hazel holds up her question paper*

all the answers- her keng diagram and her essay- were neatly written on the question paper instead of the two answer sheets given to us.. DAYUM!

so here's to hoping she doesn't get in trouble!! :S

exams are around the corner, but guess what's closer -and possibly more important ;P -

ANG MO-s ARE COMING TO INVADE FORM FOUR!!

and believe me, it's a good thing!

there's definitely gonna be a blog post on them then :)

may the invasion begin!!

The beginning of the end

2009-06-12T08:00:00.001-07:00

one final hurah before getting flung back into the system.

i
am
going
to
watch
PRISONBREAK

i know there's "Test Day" to study for, but..
it's ELEVEN THIRTY on a FRIDAY NIGHT

there's nothing on TV

I have finished desperate housewives

the season ended in suspense, and i'm dying to know what happens next

i crammed over the past week

i'll cram again tomorrow

...

ughhaww man,
i hate exams
i hate tests
i hate having to cram

but i'll learn to deal with it

anxiety

2009-06-11T00:33:00.000-07:00

the holidays are almost over.
oh no.. TEST DAY O_o

And i haven't even gotten to watch Prisonbreak yet!!!

but i did finish bio and chem.. but i didn't even touch physics... and chapter two is.. oh.. my.. *hyperventilates* PHYSICS!!!!!! PHYSICS WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME!! and chem charges too.. and photosynthesis... ughh

so i'm still at my cousin's place. yes, i slept over for another night. and we did keep to our pledge of studying. YIPPIE

-___-

so now we're goofing off. i guess we deserve it. but the fear of test day keeps haunting us. gahhh i don't want to fail again!! why is it so hard for me to get physics?! they're just a bunch of numbers and laws, i mean.. what is WRONG with me?! why can't i find the answers? they're staring me in the face and i can't see them..

the universe had better be prepared for my anxiety attack on Wednesday.. oh yes.. i can feel one coming on.. a big one

EL OH EL

2009-06-09T23:13:00.000-07:00

so last night was somewhat.. crazy. Now we're listening to Jai Ho. hehehehehhh *prances around the room being a crazed "Indian"*

we spent a little over an HOUR last night laughing at a certain tuition teacher we had to bare with last year. i mean.. seeing her every SATURDAY AFTERNOON for a year. oh my goshhhh you'd laugh too. and indeed, we laughed ourselves into abs LOL jkjk.. more like laughed ourselves into comas. O_o

ok, just changed the "now playing"song... you'll never guess

yeah.. enrique :)

well, crystine and i are alone.. in her giant mansion of a house. We just woke up not long ago. yeah, late eh? we slept at three thirty last night anyway. My dear cousin devoured the rest of the apple crumble. i had two red bean buns. and both of us spilled milk all over the counter. LOL serves her right for saying "see la you, THIS is how you do it" *spills milk* "oops.."

hehehehehhhh funny little barnacle

to think, we have TWO computers, god knows how many TVs, a killer stereo, a rubber blow-up pool, a basketball net, and EACH OTHER.. but, being the nerds we are.. we decided to spend the day..

STUDYING

yeah, you heard right..

studying

there's that "test day" i was blogging on... three science subjects, flung at us consecutively, at SEVEN THIRTY IN THE MORNING!!!!

on to lighter events..
last night was definitely the LAMEST of LAME. We thought up acronyms for our teachers' names

Mrs. NGU - Never Give Up! *my personal favourite``
Miss SIAW - So Impossible And Witty/ So Impossible Ah.. Walau!
then, the lame bug caught on and...
Cikgu BIO - Best In .. Origami
Cikgu JOEY - Just Order Egg Yolks
Cikgu LIONG - Let's Innovatively Order.. Nachos.. Go!!
Cikgu LIM - Laugh In Moderation

will think of more hahahaa

We actually pledged that we'd blog for a little while and then get on to studying.
ermm..
well, we're still blogging.. O_o
i won't stop till she does heheheheheheheheheheh
oh dayum she stopped..
ughh..
on to Physics then
GAHHHHHHHHH

cikgu, if you're reading this, or if any other teachers read this, know that YOUR STUDENTS DO STUDY!! :D so give us a break!! please? pretty please? with sugar and frosting on top? =)

ngeahh.. didn't think so :)

CRYSTINE TAN

2009-06-09T08:41:00.001-07:00

crystine just read my post... y'know, the one about annoying her..

she was annoyed

let me quote her.. again

"YUAN!!!! LOOK LIKE SH*T YOU KNOW?!!! THE GREEN AH!!!!"

:D
that TOTALLY made my week

i love you cousin!

2009-06-09T07:41:00.000-07:00

yes, i am away from home. no, i'm not on holiday. well, not technically... :)

i'm actually at crystine's house.. yes, MY COUSIN

and currently, i'm exploiting her wireless keyboard... if u must know, i indeed am rolling around the room on the computer chair typing this. which means i have to come back to correct all the typos :S

i just went about three feet, four feet away from the monitor and asked tiney-poo to read all the typos on this post. i shall quote her:

"back, back, space type correct. mispelled it. back back back type again. no wrong again. back back.."

yeah, u get the picture. she's currently telling me how hot enrique ingelasias is...

"he's so hot he can melt the whole north pole.. *nods vigorously* and south pole"
mehhh *rolls eyes*

she's laughing at the monitor :S yes she has two computers

this keyboard is seriously the coolest thing i've managed to stumble upon so far... yeah yeah you're probably thinking "lovelyn, go get a LIFE"

so anyway, here's ten ways to annoy my cousin:

be LAME. and by lame, i mean MY brand of lame
i stand behind her when she's typing and smack her everytime she makes a typing mistake :D
invite her into a 3 way conversation in msn, use the wireless keyboard and sit right behind her...*remember: STEALTH`` den type "tine. turn around" and go BOO :D that was fun. fun beyond anything else in the world. so far :S
then, be quiet in the 3 way and wait for the unsuspecting "crystine" to say "yuan, type something. quick!" then literally type "something" :) after all, she DID ask me to type SOMETHING, right?!
stare at her and don't move until she comes over to smack me
and believe me, when she's hyper and siaw, she WILL come over to whack me one
convince her that she's not funny OR lame.. cause I am :D ;p jkjkjkjk
convince her that i'm putting up some scandal about her on my blog (i.e. this post! :D)
adopt this very annoying accent and talk to her in it
and finally.... write a blog post based solely on ways to annoy her. that'll REALLY annoy her!

i'll throw in another two for the heck of it (for the sake of annoying her even more)

don't react, just ignore her when she's talking to you. she'll be damn annoyed (i just did that) :) MAN, it worked
she hates murky swampy green. Thus, this post is in those exact colours :)

advice from a pro. learn it. live it. annoy crystine with it!!

Lovelyn's Cousin

2009-06-08T08:48:00.000-07:00

tiney-poo, it IS a good song, yes i'm talking about the taking back my love one. i love it too! and i'm not surprized u do too. hahaha

and i googled enrique
let me tell ya, he's HOT :D

totally
fully
undoubtedly,
i AGREE with u on that

but taylor lautner is still hotter than rob pattinson

OH EM GEE

2009-06-07T07:14:00.001-07:00

an oddly boring time of the year

but then there are the exams to study for...

gahh... exams...

but before that, there's that dreadful TEST DAY

BIOLOGY

CHEMISTRY

PHYSICS

all in one bloody day...

and duh, the teachers planned it. All three of them... smart eh? talk about a new way to torture students. Maybe this is what they do at staff meetings!

WHOA, talk about an epiphany

ughh...

i'll study soon

soon

very soon

soon enough...

blast from the past

2009-06-01T09:53:00.000-07:00

rooting through old files again

found the entire "KL TRIP" file...

meheheh!

nah, i won't bore you with another picture post. i have other picture posts looooonnnggg over due...

what caught my attention was this video:

what in the world?! you may ask...
well we were in KLCC Petrosains, which oddly turned out to be more exciting than we thought. There was this hologram exhibit thing, so Lorna and I went "sci-fi".. lol, more like SAKAI

and here's another one i found...
omg, i'm embarrassed!

at Sepang circuit.. There was this Car Museum (no duh) so emma decided to have a little fun and she got into one of the cars. so a crowd gathered behind me (i was holding the camera) to watch emma go where no student has gone before. probably.
Note: nothing was damaged, misplaced or stolen during the course of this "excurtion"
viewers are strongly advised to keep in mind that this video is meant for my dear PEICHEN as a gift for her fifteenth BIRTHDAY last year. poor thing couldn't come to kl with us, so Ya Wan and i made her a video diary of our trip. during the course of this video diary, we talk to peichen through the camera. as if she were here. yes.. i know.. corny... but still!! WE LOVE YOU PEICHEN!

my uncanny ability to freak my cousin out

2009-06-01T07:31:00.000-07:00

dear cousin,

YES, YOU, CRYSTINE

know what's fun?

freaking you out

know why?

you freak out like... like.... like a fish flopping and flapping for it's life in a fisherman's bucket.
good for you, i didn't film it O.o
no wait..
good for ALL of us
muahahhahahh

you funny little barnacle!

if you're wondering what the heck i'm talking about... click here and go to my cousin's blog

no literally... it's a link so click it

note her post on June 1st 2009

UNCANNY ABILITY!

decades too late!

2009-05-31T23:47:00.000-07:00

this is marcus' bow.. or is it jasmine's?
or emma's?
...
anyway.. compare it to these:

we like to call them "pro-bows"
so you get "probos" if u say it really fast
sounds wrong, rite?
:S
people "retrieving arrows"
quote unquote
marcus and kenneth are in the crowd somewherethere is ALWAYS
A CONVERSE PICTURE an empty cup of milo
that was free
it came from a very VERY annoying milo truck.
why was the milo truck annoying?
1. people congregate at it with GIANT empty bottles.. so when lodgians try to get a drink,... "nomor"
2. it ALWAYS comes at the least expected times
3. it sure as hell takes its time parking :(
4. it's so "silent" that we don't even know it's here until only AFTER all the milo is gone

stupid milo truck...

here are the guys :)that's marcusand there's Kenneth (the krill) Yap
from form 2D

It was the last day of the competition, and cikgu KENNY LIONG couldn't take us because he had to go with the form5s to (i forgot where)

so.. guess who took us instead :S
OUR DEAR CIKGU FRANCIS TAN

we sorta claimed a place under the canopy.. so here's us hanging out thereemma sharing milo with kenneth
yes, we were so desperate for a cold drink
that we filled OUR bottles with milo
heck, we could've BATHED in it
it was SCORCHING HOTmarcus and i
jasmine held the camera
yes, i was injured
note the white elbow guard
tsk tsk tsk..
lovelyn the accident prone lobster

we figured we weren't giving the guys enough of the limelight, so ...here's MARCUS
sir frowns-a-lot

andhere's KENNETH
sir models-for-free

the other competitiors were truly
truly
tttrruullyyy
PRO AS HELLnote: i'm talking about the guy on the right,
not one the left
heheheheh
jk, marcus :)emma and i back from the ladies' room
and it was HELL ON EARTH

smelled funny and all
but that's normal
i guess...

good thing there wasn't period all over the place

i would have DIEDnotice something different about this picture?
*
*
*
*
it's DARKER
and believe me
THAT'S A GOOD THING

can you imagine the HUGE sense of relief
that we all felt??ohhhh yeahhh

then, GOD showed us mercy and sent rain.. it rained so heavily that there was THUNDER and LIGHTNINGand BOY WERE WE HAPPY. so finally, FINALLY after two straight days under the sun, our (well, my) faces burnt, (scalded) it finally rained.. POURED. it was sooo refreshing i was tempted to jump around in the wet and dance like some crazed, red-faced, human lobster hybrid. there has never been a moment that i appreciated storms as much. if you remember one of my first posts, i told you i hated storms... i still do, no doubt -__- but THIS was a perfect time for one..

i couldn't have asked for anything better

and so it rained so heavily for the rest of the day.

so heavily that i couldn't take a picture as everyone was squashed under the two canopies.. the water began to flood and it was like Noah was revisiting us from beyond the grave O.o

the closing ceremony ..
ahh, now that's a story

but as with all good stories

it doesn't come with pictures O.o
sorry!!

mr Ling, our headmaster, graced us with his precence. lol keng english.

emma came in fourth overall and i came in fifth. in school, she mostly gets all the praise. Don't mind me if i sound whiny, but i just get a nod from the teachers, or most times, i'm ignored. wow, thanks for the positive reinforcement -__- i'm not looking for showers of praise, but can you imagine being second-fiddle? even second-fiddle gets noticed. so close, and yet so far Ignore this little bit, i'm just venting.

i'm just feeling a little under-appreciated

but emma has indeed shown great athletism and i am DEFINITELY proud of her. i'm proud of all of us, no matter how good or bad we've done.

there are no losers.

when we all got home,
safe
sound
WET

i took one last picture to remind me of my time here...THAT WAS HOW MANY SKIN TONES DARKER I WAS
scary?
i think so

there's another competition in august...
here we go again!!SUNBURN!!!

line art

2009-05-31T23:08:00.000-07:00

you must be wondering.. line art? line art is the stuff before photoshop... kinda like a sketch before a painting...

i recently (well, maybe not that recently) got interested in lineart cause i have PHOTOSHOP in my computer (WOOPIE) and so i colour them in :) wow, talk about cheap thrills.

currently, i'm into tattoos. i've done a few, and shall put them up for the world to see. ;p here's one that i might tackle anytime soon.. it is the holidays and i am bored.. so... :)

here's one that i was working on earlier this year... (sorry, i couldn't find the original.. so ignore the shade of purple)

and here's the finished product:

not my proudest piece of work, but it was a product of boredom... i want a tablet so i don't have to steal line art online.. ughhh bloody mouse!

oohhhh i just found the file i keep all my "photoshopped" pictures in:

my very first piece
i picked a cliche and simple piece of line art
definitely NOT my proudest piece...

i'm happy with this piece :)
i tried contrasting for this one... that's why one sparrow is really light
and the other is dark as midnight
i put in on deviantart and some people wanted to get a tattoo of it O.o
i feel guilty somehow for getting people to get tattoos O.o
kuai little church girl hahaha

i have to thank marcus for this next piece.. he's the one who helped me scan my drawing cause my scanner's retarded -____-
THANK YOU MARCUS!!!!it's one of the few pictures i draw and put on the internet
and YES, it IS from Avatar...
sue methis next piece has a funny story behind it.. if you're wondering
who (or what) that is,
it's my cousin from singapore loll
i went to singapore last year end holiday
without my parents!! :D
we were bored
he was using his desktop
i grabbed his tablet
TA-DAH

i'll let you be the judge whether there's a resemblence or not...
note: he's the only one sitting down in this next picture
and i'm sure he'll appreciate me uploading this picture...
of all the other embarassing ones i have in my computer
nyehehehehyou see???
photoshop runs in the family :P

* * * *

compare the faces..
not alike?

* * * *

now here's one in colour...better??
just a little?

fine...
truth hurts i guess O.o

so that's it for this post.. my trail and error hobby :S

i'm not much good at photoshop, but i'm getting there

either that, or.. time to get a new hobby O.o

i'll let you be the judge ;)

cheers :)

boxer girl

2009-05-27T18:15:00.000-07:00

yesterday was photo taking day for clubs and societies in our school. I successfully snuck into 2 photos, but i'd really wanted to be in those clubs. :S

so anyway, for red crecent, we had to put on the "red crecent t-shirt" which is a uniform for all members i guess, so me, being me...

remembered to bring the shirt but
I FORGOT TO BRING PANTS.

SO, i had to take the bloody photo in BOXERS.... so now, i am known as BOXER GIRL....

and right after red crecent, was leo... so obviously, i had no time to change and i took yet ANOTHER boxer girl photo.. ughh...

i'm in school... it's ICT class... i felt the urge to blog, so i did... i'm gonna get in so much trouble.. but i've finished my work so i'm kinda free.. kinda..

spread the love

i was chatting with my friend MATTHEW CHIEN and he gave me a link to a video... wanna watch it?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBpE8sDOBTI

i'm not saving that in my computer

warning: you might be overcome by this sudden wave of "aww, i miss the good times" or... "OMGWTH?!"

american idol hit me like a tidal wave

2009-05-22T07:58:00.001-07:00

it's friday night, Physics tuition just ended. it was dead boring as usual... charmaine definitely had a point when she said, "eh, you know, it's kinda stupid to go to tuition on a friday night," ... "brain just dies"

LOL

but it's so true!!

so anyway, i'm sipping starbucks cream vanilla, and i turn on the tv, and flip channels, and surprizingly, as i got to 8tv (nobody in this house watches this channel cause we can't really understand chinese lol)guess what's on... now.. at this very second...

THE AMERICAN IDOL FINALE!!!!!!!!!!!!

ohhhhh yeahhhhhhh..... Adam Lambert......

though, he was seen kissing a guy.. erm... gahhh whatever... he's still a spanking good piece of eye candy. HAH! take that, robert pattinson!

so many brilliant artists performed in the finale...
KISS, Santana, Fergie, The Black Eyed Peas, ROD STEWART are the ones that made an impact on me. it's still on, and i haven't watched the end of it yet, but..

KISS + ADAM LAMBERT = DAYUM

LOL... simon just said "it sounded like a cat... jumping off the empire state building" hahahahahahahah

and now that "tattiana" girl who won some funny duddy award get herself "thrown off stage" but i'm not sure if it's an act or if it's cause she's psycho... O.o

ZOMG!!!!!! KRIS ALLEN AND ADAM LAMBERT'S DUET WITH QUEEN IS FREAKIN HELL AWESOME!!

*excuse me, i have to go swear in a corner to release tension*

...

indeed, they are the champions... but i wanted adam lambert to win..... STUPID KRIS ALLEN!!!!! HUMBLE FREAK!! lol okay okay, he's good too. i was just joking.

hahahahha kris allen is so short compared to adam. both are cute... hmm...

i feel happy for kris' parents and family.

lollllll kris is so humble about his win. hahahaha

adam lambert.... drools..

okokok a few more pictures and i'm off to enjoy the rest of my friday

i am bummed that adam didn't win, but he's probably the next david archuleta.. though i liked david cook better. i mean... david archuleta didn't win, but he's doing a little better than david cook...ughh so confusing. the last girl standing for this season was kinda good too. *shruggs* oh well....

what goes around comes around, i guess

muahahahaha!!!!

sundays

2009-05-16T23:11:00.000-07:00

today is both relaxed and hectic. what do i mean by that?

well, it IS a sunday and my parents are out so i'm FREE!! lol, okay maybe not the best reason, but still. i've got the entire house to myself. it gets a little boring, so i'm chilaxing. chilaxing while i can because there's school tomorrow and ughh.. lol.. just ughh...

it's kinda hectic cause i have to memorize my bm aural script... UGHHHHH !!!! and it's sooooo frustrating because i'm tackling a complicated topic..... schizophrenia.

i've always thought that schizophrenia is the same as "split personailty" or "dual personality" or multiple personality or whatever but it isn't.. the two are commonly confused. which makes my research work that much harder. and magdalene and bryan and peichen and pretty much the rest of the class will definitely BOMBARD me with strange un-answerable questions. i might as well bring a laptop up. the internet is afterall the best source of info. :)

okay okay, i think i've procrastinated enough.. i messed around with the piano, guitar, organ... watched tv... smsed... msn-ed... better get back to work.. UGH

HALLELUJAH!

2009-05-16T07:31:00.000-07:00

i'm actually in school now.

my desktop "exploded".. there was alot of smoke and the room still smells of burnt plastic. my friends are giving their aural presentations and i'm working on my speech. so i thought i'd blog. it won't be a long post, i have no time.

just letting you all know that i'll be unable to blog for awhile cause all my files are in my desktop and i obviously can't use it now -___-

ughh...

so i'll have to rely on my mom's laptop. here's to hoping i can get a replacement in time!!

CHEERS

forgive the weird size of the fonts.. i can't get that fixed.. i shall learn how next time.. for now, just read and ignore the weird sizes, okay?? XC

day two 29/4/09

2009-05-02T03:47:00.000-07:00

so today's the ACTUAL day.. lol. it was a rather GUNDU day. and we've learnt a few things. i'll just take you through the whole day first...

we arrived in school "punctually". the equipment was left in the general office downstairs overnight (safer cause it's locked anyway lol) and i was happy that i didn't have to lug it to school. So my face hurt and my bruise hadn't healed yet, even with the excrutiating massage i had by the Red Cresent members present at the competition. I'm not sure which school they were from, but they were a friendly and initiative bunch, they didn't make fun of my and my inability to speak fluent BM and they did quite a good job of fixing me :) props to them *applause*

yet again, kelvin was late. yet again, the guys got to ride in cikgu kenny's car. yet again, the girls rode in the sweet-smelling pickup. but coach couldn't make it until later on in the day (much later lol) so i got to ride up front. it was an awkward ride, kelvin didn't talk much. but he's a nice guy. :)

Today is the day we actually compete and guess what... it's also the day that we compete in our weakest events. the guys are doing NINETY METERS max today, and us girls are doing SEVENTY METERS max. our bows are low tension meaning they don't send arrows flying that far -___-... so, our strategy is to aim much higher, at roughly a forty-five degree angle so our arrows shoot upwards and momentum will bring it downwards and hopefully, they'll reach the target.

the guys didn't bother trying the ninety meters cause.. well.. their arrows can't reach no matter how high they aim LOL. us girls didn't really bother trying the seventy meters, but we did okay in the sixty meters event. emma snagged fourth place while i came up right behind her with fifth :D jasmine scored a seventh.

i passed my camera to cikgu kenny for him to take shots of us and many other things... lol --->

emma aiming, (lol.. aiming emma)

jasmine aiming

an aiming emma again

and jasmine aiming.. cikgu kenny.. go get a hobby...

the person on the far right of these pictures is a Sarawak archer. she's damn PRO. but she kinda talks funny.. and bimbo.. but she's still pro. yes, she won first... figures.. hahaha
i spy with my little eye, a red lovelyn the lobster. :) (in the middle)

cikgu kenny at school in the morning: lovelyn, why u wearing red? your face is already so red! you'll look like some freak
jasmine: no.. if she wears red, it makes her face look less red.
emma: lol, true true
cikgu kenny: fine..
me: nyheheh! :D

our only source of shelter was a measly canopy... it was set on running tracks, so it was hot even under the shade. boiling hot... we made time pass by quickly by:
1) playing cards
2) being lame
3) sleeping when there's space.. well.. cikgu kenny did that mostly
4) grabbing milo from the milo truck that came occasionally... it has baddd timing...
5) complain about the heat
ughh.. the weather

home sweet home

meet our tent mates... "canopy mates"

oh, and i almost forgot!! here's marcus being marcus :) note: this picture was cropped, zoomed, and stuff.. i'm not some stalker -___-

he wore CONVERSE like i told him to :)

so while waiting for lunch to be delivered, cikgu kenny told us that kelvin would be arriving late and might not be in time to send us our lunches, so we'd have to go out to the shops to get our own lunch. kelvin had a meeting. BOY, WE WERE HAPPY! so we (the girls) hopped into his red tiny car and abandoned the boys to continue with their event *sniggers!*

I CALL SHOTGUN!

but of course, i had to capture the moment! it's not everyday you get to ride in a tiny car that belongs to your teacher, many miles away from home, with a bad sunburn, bruise and two crazy friends in the back that need to be fed!

note the two idiotz at the back that were ready for the picture when me, being the gundu photo-taker am not ready myself! ughhh look at that sunburn! (and yes, cikgu kenny has a "superman" thingy hanging on his rear view mirror...

cikgu kenny: eh, i think you took the superman thing lah me: izzit? *looks at camera* oops... sorry jasmine!!

here's the gundu-est story of the millenium!

so we got to the shops, and emma randomly said, "hey, i feel like eating hot cup" and i replied, "you mean that maggi mee cup thing?" emma nodded. Cikgu kenny stopped in front of a convenience store and dropped us off to get our supply of instant noodles in a cup... we bought five, as we were being CONSIDERATE that the guys would be famished after their event.

as we hurriedly purchased our goods and lumbered into the car and slammed the doors shut, cikgu kenny asked a very difficult question..

"hey guys, how are you gonna cook your noodles without any hot water?"

we burst out laughing!

jasmine retaliated saying, "nevermind lah, just ta-pau from the coffee shop la"
"can meh?" the three of us asked in unison. was it really possible? or even PLAUSIBLE that hot water can be indeed "ta-pau"-ed from a coffee shop??

the desperate need put us into a dilemma... should we risk humiliation and ask the nearest kopitiam for hot water?

"ok la ok la, i drop you guys off at the nearest coffeeshop." cikgu kenny obliged.
"phew, at least we aren't going to drown in humiliation alone. we'll have our teacher to drown with us!" i thought and smiled to myself.

once there, cikgu kenny unlocked the doors.. it fell silent as we waited for each other to get out of the car.

"go liaw" urged cikgu kenny.
"you coming also, rite?" i asked, and cocked an eyebrow skeptically at him.
"no la, you guys wanted hot cup ba, so you all have to ask yourself" he grinned.
"but i don't know how to speak chinese!" i fought back.
"yeah me too," emma raised her hand in the air.
we all turned around in the most comical and synchronized manner asked; "jasmine?"

hahaha, so we got our victim and with much pursuasion, jasmine agreed to be our.. ahem.. guinea pig :D lol

i thought i could sneak out of getting down from the car but cikgu kenny firmly uttered "GO LIAW"

there was a slight tinge of annoyance in his voice. or at least i thought. so i opened the car door wide and flung myself out of the car stuttering "okokokokokokokokokokokokok". i hobbled towards emma and jasmine and was instantly greeted by a low and husky "HEY! At least close the door lah!"

i erupted in laughter as i stared back at the car. i'd left the door wide open and cikgu kenny was doubled over reaching for the handle trying to close it. it was positively the funniest thing EVER!

but wait.. the best is yet to come.

once inside, the shopkeeper greeted us warmly. she was a spunky and sociable old woman, with the standard "granny hairdo" and such. she was polite, unlike many shopkeepers that would be annoyed and impatient with a bunch of delinquents asking to TA PAU HOT WATER

jasmine did most of the talking, leaving emma and i in a daze. i definitely have to learn chinese. i don't know what jasmine told the lady, but the drink-maker-people.. ermm.. person gave us ice cubes in those plastic bags where you ta pau laksa soup in.

"ermm.. jasmine?" i said, and pointed at the five frosty plastic bags.

after much "cham siang" or better known as reasoning and explanation, the lady came back with the same five plastic bags which were now filled with warm water. "hot enough?" she asked, in mandrin.

we just nodded.

she stuck five straws in each plastic bag.. that set off a small flurry of giggles which did not manage to escape my lips. jasmine held the five packets, emma held the instant noodles, and i held my tongue as not to offend the shopkeeper. i paid her fifty cents per packet, all the while telling myself "don't laugh don't laugh don't laugh"

i had done a good job, holding back laughter for so long. but when we got to the car, cikgu kenny stared bewilderedly at the five packets and as we opened the car door, he instantly asked;

Wah, got straw one ah?!!!!!!!

that did it. we all ERUPTED in laughter and continued laughing all the way back the the stadium.

GUNDU!!!

once at the stadium, we made our way up to the grand stand to eat our measly lunch and immediately discovered how cooling it was up there. "oh my god, it's so cooling. why didn't we think of coming up here before?!" i thought aloud.

"yalo" was all i got as a reply.

so, being the caring bunch we are, we prepared the noodles using the now lukewarm water we had. so, instead of unhealthy springy maggi noodles, we had.. crispy mee cup.. gundu to the max

and then, it hit me. the lamest joke of the century...

eh, it's not hot cup... it's WARM cup!!

at that point, i was thankful they didn't decide to throw me off the stands. :)

here's the "panoramic" view from the stands.

marcus' mee cup was the softest cause it had soaked up all the water. why didn't we think of leaving the noodles to soak in the water?! ughh.. GUNDU!

i bet you're wondering how my bruise grew... it had started out so small. (refer to post on day one) today was a rough day...

OUCH

day one, 28/4/09

2009-04-30T21:54:00.000-07:00

TODAY'S THE DAY

the first day of the archery competition~ and we are... not really ready for it O_o but anyhoo, today's the first dayyy. exposure.. that's all we're looking for.. exposureeee

cikgu Kenny Leong took us there, along with Kelvin (the coach's 'assistant') and his spanking new pick up truck :P it still had that new car smell. the most expensive smell in the world lol.

i decided that since we're gonna be so damn sunburnt by the end of the competition, we mite as well do "before and after" shots. these are the "before" shots of the girls (the guys are in cikgu kenny's car so it's kinda hard to get their pictures O.o

good 'ol emma, sharing my iPod :)

it was awfully boring and tense in the car, so we listened to a very calming, serene song LOL (excuse the reflection.. it was a bright day and the sun was blinding)
jasmine, who came prepared (the cap and sunscreen... )

so in kelvin's car, we were kinda bored.. then i got an sms from marcus:
Lol.. right behind you lar. gundu.

if you're wondering what "gundu" means, it's a singaporean term for "stupid" or "naive"... it caught on quick and we all started using it for the entire archery competition. other terms like "egg yolk!" simply mean "bullseye~" and "egg
white" means.. umm... "not bullseye" hahaha that was contributed by cikgu kenny. i shall quote him:
eh, know what you can do to get an egg yolk? *points to target in school (last training)* turn the target into an omelete~!!

did you get the joke??

an omelete has egg yolk all over.. smart eh? *sighs*

so anyway, back to marcus' sms. i looked, and indeed, they were behind us. so i replied:

swt.. look up, i'm gonna try take a picture of you guys.

and the end result...
CIKGU KENNY'S CAR! lol.. the sun's glare deprived me of my ability to take pictures.. ughh the weather...

so after an excrutiating, butt numbing, leg cramping forty five minutes, we arrived at the stadium. we were late, and indeed clueless, so we didn't know what to do. the competitors shocked us because..

THEY WERE SO FRIGGING PRO

most of them have represented their state, school, district, whatever.. we've only just begun about a month before the competition. So, with heavy hearts, we climbed and huddled in the back of Kelvin's pickup truck and rued our decision in competing.

coach came over holding some papers. he explained the rules and regulations to us, bombarding us with strange jargon that seemed to come so naturally for him. we were sooo confused at this point. the culture shock threw us into a daze and it felt like we were drowning.. literally drowning.

it took alot.. and i mean a lot of effort to decipher what was written on the papers..
and instantly, i was reminded of our MOOTING COMPETITION
we were prefects for a day!

what have we gotten ourselves into?!

we distracted ourselves by looking around blankly and thinking of anything besides the competition... i discovered that Jong's Crocodile Farm was just a few kilometers away...

look at the road sign.. it's the one in brown

emma: hey, lets walk to jong's crocodile farm.. den we can hide there for the next three days
me: lol!!

yeah.. we wish... -____-

so eventually, we went for the sightest* (trial and error period where we get to adjust the readings on our bows so we aim and score egg yolk after egg yolk)

the entire first day was a sightest to prepare for the real competition tmrw. waste eh? lol. but it was for our own good anyway.

***

the day flew by as we were more relaxed that it wasn't the real competition yet.

the journey home was a painful one.. i was bruised and sunburnt.. and it was only the first day! ughh the weather.. marcus and jasmine rode with me in kelvin's car. emma and kenneth snagged seats in cikgu kenny's car. emma called shotgun. lol

before we knew it, we were back in school early enough to catch our friends in their classrooms. school had ended, but everyone was waiting to go home.
marcus had a boo boo and had a sunburn around his bandaids.. lol gundu!

my bruise (which grew in the last three days started off like this: yes, i did bleed.

and jasmine with her sunscreen defied all of us and didn't get much darker -__-

so we arrived in school in a flash and everyone was telling me how red my face was, and bla bla bla, i'd much rather not talk about it. so, for you guys' sake, i took pictures of my red lobster face -__-

oh! we adopted nicknames amongst ourselves while at the competition:
lovelyn the lobster (cause of the sunburn) that set off the rest of the nicknames..
emma the eel
kenneth the krill
jasmine the jellyfish
cikgu Kenny the kelp
marcus the mussel

signing out, lovelyn the sunburnt lobster

monday

2009-04-30T21:47:00.000-07:00

i know it's kinda late, but better late than never :)
*note: this is in the context of last monday, 27th April.

today was our last chance to train for the archery competition.. which is TOMORROW. omg!! we each had new bows, arrows, arm guards, finger tabs, quivers, the works. so, feeling a little confident, we made our way to the school field to begin training.. guess what...

it POURED
there was thunder and lightning too, so we definitely could not train... ugh the weather..

that was pretty much it for our "last minute preparation"... rain rain rain

i'll post on it tomorrow.. too tired

2009-04-30T05:28:00.000-07:00

basically... i'm:
1. sunburnt
2. tired
3. bruised like you wouldn't believe
4. extremely itchy (sunburn)
5. red and blue...and 'black'

but i'm
1. contented
2. thankful
3. more experienced? :)

Brainstorm

2009-04-25T22:53:00.000-07:00

I've just received news that tmrw, we have to present an oral topic.. in BM.. MALAY!!! O.o i can't think of a topic.. at all O_o i considered doing "my family tree" But then i decided that it might be a little bland and cliche... so i thought i'd do foot-binding, cause my great grandmother was one of the "lucky few" to disfigure her feet.

But for the sake of everyone's stomach, i decided to drop that idea... i don't think everyone would enjoy their lunch after hearing about it anyway.. it would make walking much harder. and running and jogging and jumping and standing... but anyway, it's quite a cool topic if you ask me, but i don't think i'll be able to say much about it in BM... yes, i said it.. i don't think i can say much in BM... Malay.. -__-

so, i have to choose an easier and more diverse topic. i then thought of doing the History of China :D

it sounded like a good enough topic, i mean.. we're all chinese in 4B, even the teacher is chinese. We'd all be able to relate to it, it wouldn't be boring, it certainly would be educational.

but what can i say about the history of china??
i could just take everything out of our history books.
duh.. lol :) but then it would be studying sejarah...
and that doesn't sound so appealing now, does it?.. but our history books are in bm after all... hmm.. maybe with some awesome photographs and graphics and a lot of confidence, i'd be able to pull it off?

but what if i bore everyone to death?? pictures and a slideshow would help.. i mean.. it would make it less boring than it already is..

right?? O.o i gotta think of more ideas...

i do

2009-04-25T01:44:00.000-07:00

Thank you for helping me heal

cause i'm halfway there :)

I'm having a day from hell
It was all going so well
Before you came
And you told me you needed space
With a kiss on the side my face
Not again

And not to mention
The tears I shed
I shoulda kicked your
Ass instead
I need intervention
Attention to stop temptation to scream

'Cause baby...

Everything is effed up straight from the heart
Tell me, what do you do when it all falls apart
Gotta pick myself up, where do I start?
'Cause I can't turn to you when it all falls apart
No, ohh

Don't know where I parked my car
Don't know who my real friends are
Anymore
I put my faith in you
What a stupid thing to do
When it rains it pours

And not to mention
I drank too much
I'm feelin' hungover
Out of touch
I need intervention
Attention to stop temptation to scream

'Cause baby...

Everything is effed up straight from the heart
Tell me, what do you do when it all falls apart
Gotta pick myself up, where do I start
'Cause I can't turn to you when it all falls apart

Can't it be easier?
Can't I just change my life?
'Cause it just seems to go bad every time
Will I be mending
Another one ending once again

Everything is effed up straight from the heart
Tell me, what do you do when it all falls apart
Gotta pick myself up, where do I start
'Cause I can't turn to you when it all falls apart
(No)

Everything is effed up straight from the heart
Tell me, what do you do when it all falls apart
Gotta pick myself up, where do I start
'Cause I can't turn to you when it all falls apart
(Falls apart)

Gotta pick myself up
'Cause babe I'm fed up

Everything is effed up straight from the heart
Tell me, what do you do when it all falls apart
Gotta pick myself up, where do I start
'Cause I can't turn to you when it all falls apart

So what do I do when it all falls apart? turn to my friends and slowly recover. thank you guys, i can always count on you to pick me up when i fall. i thank you i really do :)

storms

2009-04-24T04:41:00.000-07:00

Yesterday turned out very odd. the weather was definitely against us during archery training. I mean, it wasn't just pouring rain, there were GIANT BOLTS OF LIGHTNING and not to mention EAR SPLITTING THUNDER. i hate storms... HATE storms. i find them really irritating. sure, they're cool and mother nature gets to unleash her fury every now and then, but storms always occur at the most unexpected times... mother nature needs better timing -__- but who am i to say how nature works? ughh lol

So we got kinda wet and drippy and muddy and we didn't get to train.. that's a big issue cause the competition's on Tuesday (yes, we're missing school!! :D) so uh frigging oh! and it happened again today... the thunder is really picking at my nerves. i mean, it goes BOOM CRASH BANG at the most random moments. sorta like all those random firecrackers every chinese new year. I would've taken a vid of the entire scenario of yesterday's wild escapade but duh, i had no camera. Which is rather inconvenient O_o maybe i should carry a camera around and look like some camera geek freak. But it would make things more convenient. hmmm... lol :) and cameras are cool :D

Monday's gonna be another training session... and it's our last chance. I'm not betting on winning, (cause we kinda need more practice.. much more practice) but here's to hoping we don't look like idiots. wish us luck! we might need it :S

flabbergasted

2009-04-18T23:46:00.000-07:00

So today i woke up happy and looking forward to the dance workshop thing with Peichen. As usual, i just slapped on a t-shirt and a pair of ripped jeans (and duh, converse), ate a speedy breakfast and when i got to the hall, the sun was literally scorching hot. it was soooo hot that i wondered if i'd be boiled alive in my own sweat. seriously, it was like an oven. A FRIGGING OVEN.

Peichen was like "Lovelyn, it's so hot... there're only two fans inside" and immediately i rued my decision in coming. what did i get myself into again??? i tied my hair back into a pony tail (like i do in school) and pinned my fringe so my face felt the occasional (very occasional) breeze.

My self esteem was completely, totally and utterly wayyyy down low when hoards of guys congregated next to us. yeah.. uh oh! peichen's dancing mates showed up a little while after. They were indeed a bouncy bunch. friendly. sociable. they mostly spoke mandrin... uh oh again. gathering every mandrin word that Peichen and Ya Wan and my other classmates have taught me, i attempted to make conversation. BIG FRIGGING UH OH

I literally had to whisper every word to myself before i spoke. I don't want to seem like a "banana" (y'know.. yellow [chinese]on the outside but white [western] on the inside). My whole life has been filled with insults on my inability to speak chinese... gahhhh.... and now that my mandrin has improved a smidge, I decided to put it to the test...

Unfortunately, my depleting self esteem deprived me of that and i ended up bluttering english instead... Peichen spent most of her time with me and i THANK HER FOR THAT!! If it weren't for her, i'd probably sink into the cement, dragged down by my incredibly low confidence level.

The instructor took a long time to arrive. a long long time. So when he finally did, everyone flocked into the hall. I'm just gonna skip this part because nothing much happens here.

I was literally taken by surprize when most everyone started dancing... no, not normal dancing like i expected... everyone started breakdancing. "it's a breakdance workshop?! breakdancing??" you have got to be kidding me... ME breakdancing?! someone had better get the paramedics.. STAT.

The other dancers made each move and trick look like a stroll in the park. they were so good! PRO might be the right term to use.Note: it's a girl and she's wearing CONVERSE!!

yeah.. i think i've made my point. I gained a new respect for this dance. My feet feel like they weigh a ton each. I dropped out early cause.. yeah.. i'm not much of a dancer :) serena was there, emma was supposed to come, crystine (tiney-poo) was supposed to come for the afternoon session. Peichen roughed out the entire two days. *APPLAUSE*

But it was fun. With less strangers and more friends, it would have been perfect. i know i know, i'm sounding very anti-social, but you'd be "pai-seh" too if you were new to something and everyone around you was really really good.

Indeed, i am flabbergasted

first hello's

2009-04-18T04:37:00.000-07:00

So yes, i finally have a blog. I might not even update that frequently. And if you notice, i don't usually put my "i"s in capital when they're supposed to be. But yeah.. whatever. lol

i decided to create a blog out of boredom. I'm actually feeling really emo now, but unlike other bloggers out there, i shall not rant, i shall not whine, i shall not write poems with sad words that rhyme. omg.. i start rhyming when i'm emo. gahh. When they say time heals everything, i'm hoping they're right. It's been almost a week now. No change. okay okay, enough of being emo. Let's get to the lighter side of things.

So i've just been informed that i'll be going for the interschool archery competition. Honestly, i am really happy about it. Marcus, Emma, Jasmine and Kenneth Yap are going too. Coach doesn't expect us to win, but he's sending us for the experience. There's another competition in May. Held in Labuan. The minimum tension for the bow is a whopping THIRTY PLUS POUNDS. we're currently using twenty eight as our maximum. so we've gotta "work out". no.. slash that.. we've REALLY gotta work out. and the target is gonna be THIRTY METERS away. We'll pray no one walks past. This monday we'll be training our butts off in the school field. I really really hope the footballers don't mind sparing us a little space. well, alot of space. The competition is on the twenty seventh... nine more days... i'm really really afraid. anxious. utterly petrified. Well, we'll pray that we don't look like fools. The other archers were trained from young.. as young as seven years... and we've only started since the beginning of this year!! *deep breath* okokokok chilax... we're going to do fine... i hope we don't bring shame to our school though, that would be really really badd... ughh..

There's nothing much to blog about considering that there's nothing much happening. i'll just leave it at this and hope people actually read this.
