Welcome to (a piece of my life)!
Hi people! Well, this is just something that I started to keep me posted on my life so when I look back years later when I'm grey and old, I'll still have something to remind me of the good, old days while I was still young. hahaha..
For you people who know me, I guess this would be where you can find out about how I am and stuff? yea..especially my gila gang from secondary school. We're all separated and in different parts of the world now. Studying..
I may not update it that often (so I keep saying) so, I apologize in advance.
I love you People.

I wrote this for Ankush out of pity for his hectic schedule and the lack of time he has to do his homework because of cricket training. (He keeps emphasizing on how they beat NJC today.lols) Haha..his essay was due Monday and he (me)'s only doing it now. Lols... Anyways, I had wanted to do one post on friendship before (There Ankush goes again "I'm damn happy we won the match XD). I just never got round to doing it. Maybe it's because I was waiting for the right time and mood to blog. I do that. There will be times when I feel, somehow, more emotional and have self-reflections? (no, not emo.) That, I find, is my peak for blogging. Hahas. More flow of ideas. It just comes naturally. So, here's what I wrote. This shall be like, my first so-called draft. I'll come up with a better one next time. At the right time. Hahas. Here goes: Friends. What does a friend mean to you? To me, it means someone who makes me happy when I’m sad, picks me up, dusts me off and helps me get back on my feet when I fall. A friend helps me in my studies, taking time off his or her hectic schedule to teach me, shares the fun times together, even the sad, and is always there to console me. A friend is someone who gives me confidence; gives me the power to believe in myself. A friend does not judge me despite my many mistakes and flaws. A friend is not afraid to tell me where I went wrong, with no fear that they would hurt my feelings, because we are already so familiar with each other, it feels like they’re family; brothers and sisters. Friends, always looking out for one another and being considerate of each other. That’s what a friend means to me. Now, what does Friendship Week mean to me? It’s an opportunity for me to show my appreciation of how much I treasure them. How much I enjoy being their friend. To tell them I’m sorry for waking them up by making loud noises, or embarrassing them in public, unintentionally, all in good fun. To say I’m sorry for not being there when they needed me the most. For not being sensitive enough to tell that they’re in an emotional crisis. To tell them how much I like going to the movies and eating Subway with them; for every free moment that we spend together talking just about anything and being crazy. To tell them how much I love them (no, not in the romantic way, of course) and how honored I am to be their friend. My friends, I may not bring you balloons and flowers, or chocolates and cookies. But, I will show you how much you mean to me, and what our friendship really is. For I believe that our friendship transcends that of physical gifts, to that of thought. As they say, it’s the thought that counts. And today, I would like to say a big THANK YOU for always tolerating some of my silly, old habits and for always being there for me. Fair-weathered friends are only there for the good times and gone during the bad. I am glad to say that my friends are not those of that nature and that I am glad to have known them.

I'm blogging from a Mac!!! No, sad to say, I don't have one, actually. Would like one though (at this point, Ankush would be giving me a smirk and a thumbs up, then mock me. Together with Nick. Cause he just got a Mac too.) Buuu.. Chem Kinetics test tomorrow. Lecture test. I think if I keep up this pace of studying, I would be able to make it, I hope. Heh..Hard to say still. Must practice doing more questions. Thank God only two chapters are coming out for bio. Hahaha... Ankush's batt is running out. This would be a short post, then! Maybe if I'm not too sleepy, I will blog later. Hahas. Aaron's doing calculations based on rock, paper, scissors. Lol...his H3. Too pro. Ta! I like Chocolate Love=)))) by Girls Gen. Heh =)

Supposed to be dated 14th February 2010. I lost the previous post supposed to be dated the 13th of Feb. But anyways,... Went out with Eva and Serene in the morning. Watched Percy Jackson. Liked the whole Greek Gods thing. Like God Of War(the playstation game). Did some catching up over lunch. Eva and Jasmynn finish their course this June and are going to visit Serene in Perth then! During WINTER!!! Shoots! And I can't get to go:( Buuu... Had a wonderful reunion dinner yesterday at Grand Straits View. Saw my cousin Erika who was studying in KL after like half a year of not seeing her. Liked the dress she wore:) Great food too! Today I woke up with a sore throat and runny nose:/ and it's the fist day of the new year. Visited my grandma's place in the morning as we usually do. Played Band Hero and Lego Rock Band. My bros and cousin then played Modern Warfare 2. Lols..The rest of the time, I spent watching MTV for updates on new songs. Got a ton to download when I get my internet back in Singapore. See how deprived of the music scene I am in Singapore? Hahas..kidding. I have another music junkie there to keep me up to date:) Relatives came-a-knockin' in the afternoon. Went to the temple in the afternoon. Saw a couple of guys trying to be Korean. The whole dying their hair blonde and the white suits when the weather is so freakin hottt. Played fireworks and firecrackers at night. Awesome sh...stuff;) The neighbours lit a paper lantern and it left floating wherever the wind took it. I can feel the house vibrating from the explosion of fireworks and my dad runs out every now and then, calling us to see the fireworks display the rich people in the neighbourhood were playing. It's like burning money away..hehe..but for a good occasion;) I sooo love Katy Perry. Her song with Timbaland "If we ever meet again" is like superglued in my head right now. I like her pink lipstick in her Starstruckk music vid. Looks sweet:) Well, that's all folks! Next time, I'll be blogging from Singapore. Till then! Au Revior!

Well, I am back in JB for the Chinese New Year holidays:D Nothing much to say actually, except that my internet's down and I can't tweet, plurk or blog:/ ish..This post is actually intended for the 12th of February but since,no internet, I'm only posting it now when my bro's not home and his internet's available=) Had CNY celebration in school. (I can't believe how I was still in school in the morning and now I'm at home!!!). I was so awed by the concert band:D I think I will start liking this genre of music very soon. Haha.. The teachers danced to Nobody (that darned song again!). Very entertaining:D Kudos to the House COuncillors who organized the event!! Also, we had to decorate our homeroom (D301) today as part of a contest to see whose homeroom was the nicest. It was really a class bonding time. I learnt how to fold origami roses and lotus flowers from Tricia. Oh! and we were blasting music from my iPod in the classroom via the class loudspeaker XD. I'll bet the other classes were jealous! Haha! Entertainment while working man! After it all, we had Yee Sang (Lou Hei? - I don't know what that means cause I usually just call it Yee Sang. Hahas..different dialect maybe? Hokkien?) Went out with Ankush yesterday to PS to get a Valentine's Day gift for my secret friend (Grace). Bought a ceramic cat and put it in a red bucket made of that furry material which was red and had little white and red hearts around it. Kawaii neh XD Also, saw this other bag at a shop called The Box. It's white, but not like pure white, and it was only like $39 something, I think. But I need second opinions before I decide on which bag to buy!!! NICKKKKK!!!! (Refer to previous post where I mentioned Zara bag!) Found out who my secret friend was today. It was Sharan:) She got me this cute little notebook:) Love it. This week was Friendship Week. SC started selling colourful helium balloons and flowers and had song dedications in the canteen. It was pretty cool especially since the floating balloons livened up the school as if they were dancing, bopping to the beat of the music and the wind. It made lectures more interesting because we can how many balloons people got:) I didn't get one though..although, I would've liked one. Hahas.. Btw, thanks, Kevin for your "sacrifice":) I think you'll be bombarded with tons of questions when we get back to school. Anyways, I think the school should put up a loudspeaker system thingy to play music throughout school for us to enjoy while we're breaking from classes. It'd be kinda cool:), well, for some of us. Aaron and Ravjit said they going to Geylang today to see how the "people" operate. I think they're just kidding. Or maybe they just go there for supper. I think they'd most probably hit the clubs instead? Lol...but I later asked Aaron and he said they were at Yassin. Hahah.. My Converse shoes are in a really bad state. The cloth on both sides are torn and you can see my socks and wriggly toes:) Ajay said that Converse shoes are meant to look like that. The rugged look. Lol..But, I can't stand the rubber chips getting into my shoes from PE-ing in the new rugby pitch (although the rubber chips still get into my shoes even if I wear my NB pair XP). I just need a new pair of sneakers!!! Going out to CS tomorrow (13th Feb) with Eva and Serene. We gonna watch a movie and then have a "reunion lunch" together. Jasmynn's back in Terengganu and we can't get to tease her about her LALAT scandal. Hahahah! But I bet she's been tortured enough by Eva when she's in KL. Oh! I ate at Nando's for the first time just now! My mum and bros and I had a full chicken. The Peri-Peri Spicy sauce and Garlic sauce rocked! XD It's good to be back:)

I think it's been quite awhile since I last blogged. Busy, I guess. Chinese New Year's coming up! Doesn't feel like it here though..maybe coz family's not around. No baking of pineapple tarts; sweet smell of freshly churned pineapple filling wafting through the air as more and more trays of melt-in-your-mouth pineapple tarts are being made. I miss home.
Lucky Caesar's already back in Penang. Adelyn's going back tomorrow. The rest of us on Friday.
I was super-dee-duper happy yesterday!!=D Why? Coz I went out shopping! For CNY of course, but, disappointing..all the sales I saw previously were no more. I exchanged my old pair of Diesel jeans for $50 off my new pair at Levi's=D The bag I wanted which was about 50% off before is now at normal price. I can't afford it! Silly me. Didn't buy earlier...wanted to wait... But I saw this other awesomely cute bag at Zara! There's a orangey-red one and a black one=D I need second opinion though...(---> NICK!!!!)
The only thing I got here to remind me of CNY is the container of prawn rolls (He bi hiam) that my mum brought the other week. Seriously addictive.
Can't wait for the reunion dinner though! FOOOOOD. Yumm..
Not enough money to buy the Cotton On top that I want liao=( Buu..
*******
My class is exchanging gifts on Friday for Valentine's Day. Each of us are getting something from each other but we won't know who the other person is XD Fun, huh? Even Mr Liang's involved in it=)
*******
Am I just chasing your shadow? The never ending chase...I can never get hold of you.
*******
Today was CCA sign up day for the J1s. I was at the IOTA booth. We only achieved half our target=( [We aimed to get at least 50 people to sign up, according to Shengren, but only had 25. The interact booth seemed to have a lot of sign ups though! Feng shui, maybe? XD]
Pinned button badges all over Anjney's shirt. Now he's got a holey shirt! Holey as opposed to holy, get it?=D No? Nevermind... We think it scared people off XD Kidding...
I thought the canoeing team and water polo team were damn cute in promoting their CCA. They went round the school shouting "CANOEING! WATER POLO! CANOEING! WATER POLO!" alternatively, by their respective members, of course. ODAC and Track and Field followed suit after that XD
Tricia and Lisa cosplay-ed to attract people to join Art Republic. They looked damn different! I thought Tricia's costume was cute=)
******
Whaddya want from me?!?!?!
*******
It's time to stop. To stop being childish and grow up.
********
Where are you know When I need you the most Why don't you take my hand, I wanna be close Take my hand and walk with me
Where are you now? When nothing's going right Where are you now I can't see the light So take my hand and walk with me
Show me what to be I need you to set me free
Where are you now Now that I'm half grown Why are we far apart I feel all alone
Where are you now When nothing's going right Where are you now I can't see the light

I wonder..is there anyone in this world who is non-judgmental?
This year's gonna be really a trying one..I guess.."I don't like her," or "I don't like his attitude".."He's too anti-social".."I don't like how he acts".
It's only been like 3 weeks since the juniors came. The same amount of time for people to know each other.. But, it's kinda sad. People are already disliking each other. Why? Does first impression = lasting impression? For most of us, it is..I guess. But is it fair? I heard about juniors complaining about each other. "I don't like him. He uses vulgar words when he talks.." "He's too immature at times"..."The way he acts is very rude."
Being ostracized. Why? He's too smart? Too stiff? Not like us? He's different? Weird? How?
I wish I could talk to him. Find out how he feels. He must be lonely. Never out of the room. Roommates disliking him.
I wish I could tell him to not be so bold. To be more humble. To know when to stop. To be polite.
I try my best not to be so judging of others. But, maybe I'm just being idealistic here. It certainly is difficult to not judge people.
I think that people just act the way they act right now because they don't know how to act in a new environment. Foreign. Not knowing anyone. Trying to be cool. But its effect backfiring.
But then again, we can't save everyone. And I'm being judgmental by judging others too.
So there.
*These are just random pieces of thoughts strung together.. It doesn't have to make sense.*

Late night McD!!! It's been so long since we last did that...I'm only bringing this up because the Indians (no racism intended), just ordered McD Delivery. At 12.30 am. So, I'm kinda feasting on fries right now. Okayy..Not so much feasting as nipping fires being offered :) I don't exactly want to be fat, you know. Especially with Chinese New Year just around the corner :DDDD
I just realized that since we've been back, we haven't exactly been hanging out by the pool (Yes! Not once yet!) Emo...no karaoke sessions yet.
Instead, we've been too caught up with studies (And KI IS!!!) I think I'm giving the juniors a bad impression. Lol...That their seniors are muggers. Wth..And they all seem smarter and more knowledgable than us when we first came! Or maybe it's just me.
Listening to Big Bang's Haru Haru right now..Go listen to this!!!
Math consultation tomorrow. 10am...Sienz..But I must go for my own good! Except that I have no idea what I'm gonna ask her. I mean, I want her to teach me from scratch. Back to basics since my foundation ain't exactly strong in the first place. But...pai seh le!!! That's why I rarely ask questions and stuff in tutorials. Cause I'm a slow learner and need like lots of time to absorb and master a certain new thing unlike my fellow fast-learning classmates. So, I'm scared to ask questions in class because I may slow down the pace of the class. That's why I just sit quietly and be dumb. Probably the cause of my downfall, I guess. (Not guess! It's confirmed!!!)
And because I sit next to Bao, Arien, Khin and Tam, they occasionally pose me questions about what the teacher explained or tutorial questions. Although I am flattered that they do not think me that dumb to ask me questions, I usually get tongue-tied as to what I should say. Hence, the easiest escape route : "I don't know". Even though I may know the answers at times, I'm just not confident in myself to give them a definite one. I mean, what if I teach them the wrong thing? Wouldn't it be worse? Sorry guys. I have inferiority complex.
But, then again, if I never ask, I may never improve, much less move forward. Tomorrow's consultation is just teh first baby step into being resilient.
Speaking of resilience, we just had that for ME lessons today. Go search for this guy Nick Vijucic (if I didn't spell his name wrongly) on Youtube. Really, truly makes us be thankful for what we have and to be resilient in our lives, come what may. There are 3 kinds of people: Quitters, Campers and Climbers.
Resilience is about overcoming adversities. I used to equate it to perseverence, but I just found out that these two words actually mean different things! (How silly of me to only recognize it now, some of you might think.) Perseverence is about trying to "tahan" the current situation and just wait it out (campers), but resilience is about overcoming obstacles (climbers). To move forward. Not just staying in a spot. Sometimes, we just got to let some things go and prioritize. I want to be a climber! I want to climb that mountain that weighs me down so much; to conquer it and say "I am the champion!" It would feel so good to find out that you have finally challenged and overcome your limits. To know that you can achieve something as ling as you set your mind to it.
Maybe I'm just saying it. Just to sound like so "keng" like that. Haha.. But I have to do this. In the name of self-fulfillment.
You should too.
