it's a mirac... no it's just me.

2011-08-07T01:48:00.000+08:00

so heya, i'm back in taiping for four weeks already. and yes, i am rotting at home. and no, i'm not having my semester break, i'm actually waiting for my degree to start. (if i hear that "why are you in taiping?" question one more time... i'm... not going to do anything actually)

what did i want to blog about anyway? my four weeks of moping and tumblr-ing has taken a toll on my brains to be quite honest. not that i hate rotting at home, i rather enjoy having absolutely no assignments, no deadlines, ~~no bitches to deal with,~~ not thinking about what to eat/cook/buy for meals and being with my parents.

ah yes, i realised what i wanted to ~~crap~~ blog about!

CHANGE!
i put them in florescent letters so that you get what i meant, which is CHANGE!

cutting to the chase, i've realised (after a hell-a-lot of late-night-cannot-sleep-brain-too active moments and random genius moments) that i've changed a lot after all these time after high school.

yes, you may cue the "duhhhh"

but the problem here is that i felt that i've changed for the worst. i'm sure there will be certain people that can assure you of that. along with the tsunami that was my addiction towards ~~good looking korean men and songs with beats and hooks that will never escape your mind with mind-boggling concepts like ballad hip-hop or~~ ~~lucipah~~ kpop, my tolerance towards things that annoy me and disagrees with my POV has decreased to a relatively low and dangerous level.

i honestly don't know if you will be able to understand that, but it's my blog so whatever.

college life has milked a lot of the good sue out of me. yes, i meet new people, but amongst these new people, a large portion of these people find me weird because 1) i happen to not speak the same language as them, 2) i go to school looking like i just woke up (which isn't that far from the truth) and 3) they don't like the way i dress(!). and to makes things worse, they decide that the way i dress does not match my grades, so i am a detestable person.

please please tell me the logic behind this.
and if you think "eihhh she's just over thinking things", guess what, it IS 100% true (cross my heart and swear on my SHINee CDs). and they find fault in every single female who is close to boys in the course. the best thing is that they're not satisfied with just talking behind your back, they go all out to hate you. (they called one girl a 'slut', 'cheap' and 'hiao' for talking to a guy. talking.)

dealing with this kind of people is frustrasting. plus the fact i feel like i'm walking into China everyday when i enter class.

so i become snarky. sarcastic. and short-tempered.

and i'm hating all this negative change that is happening to me. (crossing my heart again) it already caused a domino effect on a problem which has now evolved to something i associate with guilt.

so i'm trying to be nicer now.

but change is not easy.

but i'll try.

cross my heart and swear on my SHINee CDs.

that cliched 2010 post : #4 i lost a friend to social media

2011-01-26T12:33:00.000+08:00

yea, you read the title correctly.
i'm not going to go and dig my grave further and further down by writing another lenghty essay about this. but i just thought that this is one of THE important events of 2010 that i won't forget and just HAD to put it into the list.

so until i learn how to private the post, i'm just going to leave it at this.

4. i lost a friend to social network

that cliched 2010 post : #3 K-Pop

2011-01-24T20:43:00.001+08:00

i take a moment to run away from all the serious happenings to a happier, shinier note.

3. i embraced the Korean Pop culture

i can't agree more.

don't ask how. don't ask me when. don't ask me why. because i myself have no idea why. after all, i (eventhough i am a hardcore K-Pop shipper) have to admit Korean Pop is (to a certain extent) recycled American Pop music at it's best. ~~*cough* and it doesn't hurt that Korea seem to be populated with so many good looking idols *cough*~~

i try to lie to myself wtf

K-Pop is a form of escapism for me.

homesick? laugh at k-pop macros.

sleepy? listen to k-pop in class.

emo? listen to random DBSK sad ballads and cry eventhough i don't understand a thing.

when i like something, i immerse myself completely into it. there's just so many new things to see and hear in this world.

and the variety programmes that Koreans come up is HI-LA-RIOUS. i think this is the first time i've seen a talkshow in a changing room. and it's surprisingly okay when they cross-dress. (in fact delusional fans find it rather... adorable) .

it's just... different new world *cues "a whole new worlddddddddddddddd"*

and amazing.

and i'm just going to stick with it for a while.

that cliched 2010 post : #2 THE scholarship issue

2011-01-22T22:08:00.001+08:00

2. i received and gave up a scholarship.
i grew up listening to tall tales of people receiving scholarships like it was as easy as plucking a rose out of a rosebush.

until you start to realise that roses have thorns.

i'll admit that i was greedy, so very greedy, that i didn't see the other small opportunities that came my way. when i got the offer, it wasn't anything like i pictured. it pales so much in comparison to the others who would be accepting offers to premier colleges and countries. 8 hours away from home, 2.5 hours away from civilization was what i got. there wasn't a single doubt that i should just grab whatever life gave me, so i accepted it, went for it. free education. free living expenses. pocket money. what more should i ask for?

the first wave of terror came on the way to the university. the roads were empty and forlorn, and the seniors jokingly told us that if we lay down on the roads at any given time of the day, we will never die, as they are so little vehicles on the road. and to think that i thought Taiping was small.

then i got another shock when i was shuffled into the registration hall. the way they handle registration ever so slowly, the way the student helpers communicated with the foreign students in broken, broken English. this was not how i pictured my tertiary education to be.

my fear peaked when i was among the 1000 people in the auditorium, listening to the university chancellor telling how LUCKY we were to be accepted by THIS university. how lucky we were to be able to have the minimal requirements - 4 credits (equivalent to at 4Cs) to be accepted. at that time, i lost control. screw my pride - i broke down in the hall. i was lucky to have a companion, a comrade-in-arm, Joyce, who was feeling just as miserable as i was. i seeked comfort and solace from whoever and whenever i could. i called friends, family members and seniors, and were rewarded with texts and calls with one similar message - BE STRONG.

i held on to those messages throughout the first few days of orientation. i kept my mouth shut when we, the non-malays, were only allowed to eat AFTER the malays were done eating. i pretended to not notice how ostracized we were in group discussions. i pretended to enjoy the childish games and silly motivational songs we were forced to sing. the only way i kept a hold of my sanity is when i was finally alone in my room, sobbing away through phone conversations with my mother.

however, the resolve in me shattered when i saw a chinese senior, who had spend 2 years there, shed a tear when we, the chinese were ushered out and given a prep talk about how to survive in a place where we were the painfully obvious minority. the crestfallen and dissapointed look on our seniors' face drove Joyce to call it quits. and i was left with the thought that i would have to spend 5 years in this hell-hole, ALONE. that thought broke me, to the extent that i brought a pen-knife dangerously close to the smooth skin of my wrist.

i was torn between being reasonable and being happy when my mother gave me permission to leave that place. and as you can see, i chose to leave. that decision spurred the remaining 4 scholarship recipients to leave together as well. the five of us spent our seventh and final night in that place under the stars, confiding in each other about how we felt and how big an opportunity we are giving up. we were forced to talk in front of the guardhouse as the guards were afraid that our innocent discussion would lead to more immoral activities.

i may or may not have made the right decision according to many people, but the choice has been made, and i'm willing to live with it.

that cliched 2010 post : #1 SPM Results

2011-01-21T18:56:00.004+08:00

yes, i know this is 21 days too late, but what the hell. there's always time to stare at the little details on the wall and reflect on everything you did on the past 365 days. so i present to you the 5 things that happened in 2010, in no particular order :

1. i received my SPM results.
nothing beats the sweaty, clammy feel of your hands when you stand in the school hall together with the group of people you grow up with, anxiously waiting for THAT piece of paper that has been given the too-heavy responsibility of deciding your future. and it doesn't really help that as you move silently closer to the front of the line, a variety of expressions and bursts of emotion happen all around you. there are people crying tears of joy, people immediately reaching for the comfort of their family, sobbing their eyes out. and some people just took theirs all too calmly, and exit the hall for a private moment with their feelings.

to say that i OVER-estimated the importance of SPM is an understatement. i put so much effort and so much hope in SPM that i failed to see that there is something AFTER SPM. i always thought that my life would turn out the way i want to - work hard, aim high, get rewarded - if i work hard enough.
i did receive the reward that i wanted, but of course, life isn't such a crowd-pleaser - only a handful manage to reach that dream of theirs and held on tight so that they don't lose grip on that shiny trophy. i managed to brush my fingers at the trophy, but i willed myself to let go, because up-close, the trophy didn't seem all nice and shiny as it seemed from afar.

second semester starts, and i have no life once again

2010-11-09T18:55:00.000+08:00

being at home for just two weeks was so amazing that i seem to forget how hostel life was. how being trapped in a claustraphobic room with three other girls that i don't talk to much feels like. how i have absolutely NOTHING to do the whole day. how i have to eat the same boring food over and over again. how i have to fight to use the bathroom in the morning.

*releases BIG sigh*

and the weekends! it kills me. i'll stare at the hostel walls. and the hostel walls stare back at me, all whitewashed and dusty. and i spend 48 hours doing that. shopping? only if you have money.

and now i have to create a blog as an assignment. obviously i can't use THIS one with all my rants on it to contribute 5% of my coursework marks.

balik kampung - a hassle?

2010-11-01T23:19:00.000+08:00

hey ~~non-existant~~ readers of my blog!

i'm really curious about how most of you (especially those who are studying in Kuala Lumpur/Selangor) go back to your hometown (especially Taipingites).

how often do you go back? once a week? once a month? once in two months? never?

how do you go back? bus? train? friend?

do you go back alone or with a friend or a group?

honestly speaking, when i'm stuck in uni for the weekends, i'm bored to death. and when i'm bored to death, i get home-sick, friend-sick and alone, and i'll end up being all sad and depressed. (yes i don't have a social life i know).

so to stay sane, i need to go home once in a while. but going home is such a hassle (eventhough it's worth the trouble!). just to get to the bus station or train station, you have to change bus so many times, or transit KTM/LRT/Monorail or to a further extent, beg on both knees to people who can drive to fetch you to the station (thank you Khai and her Baa!).

and the worse thing is, unlike some people who pretty much know everyone from Taiping studying in KL, i don't have much 'connections' in KL/Selangor apart from..well... you guys!

so i hope you guys tell me how you all go back home from KL, or please please please offer help/advice to me. please leave a comment below! thanks in advance!

i died a little inside today

2010-10-27T17:40:00.002+08:00

i am a big uber huge SHINee fan. i think they are the most talented and amazing bunch of young men in south korea, and i dream of becoming friends with them one day ~~(lame i know)~~. to be able to do what they truly like at such a young age (one of them is younger than me) and work so hard to stand at where they are now, they do inspire me. they are not just five pretty faces to stare at. and they are not GAY. (one more time i hear that G word i'm going to strangle someone)

they are the reason why i entered K-Pop.

i am a stalker fan. i know that. i watched them grow from this -

to this

and then this

and now this

i can even recite all their birthdates, height and hobbies and have watched every single variety show/radio programme they appear on.

never in my life did anything or anyone (even anime!) made me refresh their homepage all night waiting for new releases, MV teasers or new photo galleries

never in my life had i saved thousands of photos of 5 real living breathing boys. all i had was anime and manga.

and i love this guy. he can sing. he's funny. and he's just interesting. and hot.

and it's ~~very heart-breaking~~ ~~painful to watch~~ disheartening when you wake up, and instead of a photo like the above, twitter, facebook and allkpop were flooded with these photos.

it's hard to ignore.

if you are not familiar with the Korean Pop scene, there are two taboo things that an idol can never disclose - 1) whether their single or in a relationship and 2) whether they are wearing insoles or not.
however, this ~~punk rebellious teen ignorant boy heart breaker~~ boy here just broke all laws.

so i died a little inside today.

2010-10-25T02:22:00.001+08:00

it's very hard to pretend

you don't know something

you know everything.

i was wrong

2010-10-24T12:13:00.002+08:00

there is no privacy. EVER. people form their own judgements from whatever you say, whatever you wear, whatever you like.
you wear shorts, they say you wear skimpy clothes.
you rant, they say you're a brat.
you like SHINee, they say you're gay.

so i was wrong in this post . you can view and critic, because I was the one that opened up everything on cyberspace (mental note to self - needs to stop treating blog as diary!!) even if they don't like me, they still take the honour of coming all the way to my blog to read and get angry. i should be flattered.

so, you can call me a hiao brat that likes SHINee. i'll try my best not to care, cos' it's never going to end.

it's mine, NOT yours.

2010-10-23T18:00:00.002+08:00

this is my blog right? i can do whatever i want. NOT.

yes, as no-sense as it is, there are people that have been playing the role of a 'critic' on the posts i post on my facebook wall ,my twitter ~~(WTF my twitter is set as private)~~ and my blog.
news flash : IT'S MY BLOG. MY WALL. MY TWEETS.

so GTFO.
who are you, you and you to tell me that i crave attention. so what if i do? (and in all honesty it makes me happy if my blog stats go up)
if it bothers you so much, then just DON'T read it.
DON'T come to my blog to check out my posts.
DON'T check my facebook wall. you can just block me.
DON'T use your super sleuthing skills to check my tweets.

and as we are on this subject, there is this certain Miss X that goes around leaving sarcastic comments on people's statuses (not mine) i feel like whacking her. [to clearify, Miss X is NOT a member of C14, but she is commenting on members of C14's statuses] for goodness sake, what is your problem? if people are homesick, do you have to BASH her? unlike you, people's hearts aren't made of metal. do you just have to post spiteful remarks for the fun of it?

PDA, and i don't mean the one with the stylus

2010-10-11T00:07:00.000+08:00

i was at the Sunway Shuttle Bus Stop that day waiting for the shuttle bus when a boy sitting in front of me started necking his girlfriend. (btw, necking is the thing where the boy plants his saliva n dna all over the girl's neck. sensual?). my friend immediately went "ewwwwww..." while i just... stared.

Public Display of Affection.

i realised that i'm so used to it that i don't really care anymore.

holding hands... boring.

kissing at the bus stand... normal.

making out in the university car park... meh.

(my friend told me he was literally eating her alive LOL)

i just really don't mind, or rather, don't care. i've seen my own friends and their boyfriends cuddle each other, kiss and hug. i'm immune.

however, i can't stand PDA online, as in in Facebook, Blogger etc. you know, the one with statuses like...

"i love you, Baby *insert name here*"

"i cannot sleep because *insert tagged name here* keep bothering me =) (siap put in smiley summore =.=)

"*insert name here* one week anniversary. i miss my baby"

"sayannnggg baby <3"

URGH.

i know, i know, if i don't like, then don't see it right? but those statuses can't help to pop up on my Facebook homepage as "Most Popular". (why are such posts so popular???) i know you "love your baby", "miss your baby" "want to hug your baby" but the other 1000+ of your friends don't really want to know.

on another note, i also hate relationships where the they say they should give and take, but judging from the many statuses and posts, it always seem like the male counterpart is always the "give", and the girl "takes" all.

i mean, come on, be reasonable. your boyfriend has an exam the next day, and you grumble that he "is not replying" your messages; don't care about you anymore. be reasonable! if you are the one taking an exam, and your boyfriend keeps calling you to talk about his broken nail or how he gained one kilo from not eating, wouldn't you be effing annoyed as well.

and then there are those girls that are plain ignorant. you are both students, and yet you DEMAND for a Louis Vuitton purse for your birthday.
err, right. the money fall down from the sky izit?
i get it if you'reboth working already, but... haih.. just use your brain.one LV purse can feed me for one year. and then if he doesn't get it for you, you throw a tantrum and change your Facebook status to "single".

i also marvel at boys that put up with this.

it's these type of things that kind-of make me think that once some girls enter a relationship, they become bratty five-year-olds.

nearly hyperventilated when i saw THAT on display at the shop. plus BOTH VERSIONS.

immediate reaction? ran all the way 2 floors down to find ATM machine.

i don't freaking care if they are cheating my money by selling it at an overpriced price.

even the shop owner was laughing at a breathless me thrusting RM50 notes in his face for the album

in the end, I HAVE IT!!

as soon as i had it in my hands, i went straight into a changing room in jusco, locked the door, and tore threw the the whole album. people must had thought i was mad.

but i must hit myself on the head for getting it so late (in SEPTEMBER!!) when the album is released on 19th JULY.

a great investment. haha. if you know me, there's only three things worth investing into

1) shoes

2) food

3) SHINee

do i blog for myself or for everyone else?

hmm....
there are some things too personal to blog about.
whereas there are some things i want other people to read and laugh about.
on the other hand sometimes i just want to rant about somebody who pissed me off today/tomorrow/before and call him/her names.
but sometimes i need advice.

so, should i make my blog private, open to invited readers only? or not?

seriously. in. need. of. advice.

how do all of you spend your weekends? (those who are staying away from home / going to college)

all my assignments involve group work. internet is slower than the cars in a traffic jam. refraining from going to shopping malls because i don't want to spend money.

sleep? the weather's too hot.

weekend at auntys' place

2010-08-31T19:45:00.001+08:00

spent the weekend at my aunt's place and had a WONDERFUL time (and i can even say it helped preserve my sanity lol).

it was so nice just to see them again - kacau-ing nicholas, watching andrew, watching both of them kena tembak by say han ee, listening to tua ee grumble about cooking etc. it all felt so familiar that i just felt like i truly was at home ~~unlike those times where i'm locked in my hostel room like a jakun~~.

nicholas the slug

but it was bitter sweet as being there reminded me of Audrey - comic books that we used to collect, staying up late with the computer, saying good night nearly 10 times because everytime we said goodbye we ended up talking about everything else except sleep, burning the hot plate at b.b.q plaza, me tickling her, both of us shoo-ing nicholas away.......

see audrey!! i was there!

i could continue all night about Audrey and I, my ~~sister~~ cousin sister that i hold very dear to me (and miss so much that i iz tempted to fly to NZ and see her ryte NAO) (but cannot because she is happily frolicking around wellington or huntington or whatever-ton now) (FML)

sushi iz missin audi TT^TT

after the 6 days of being there, now i want to go there every weekend. but, they will be moving away to NZ soon. then..... then... there won't be any more weekends at aunty's anymore. *emo-fies again*

i'm this close *puts thumb and finger as near as possible* to my breaking point.

yes you, you big dumbo idiot who can't even seat on the freaking floor 'cos it's DIRTY. why? scared got invisible cat shit izit?

at first, i thought you were fine. a bit off on the clothing side (i mean, who wears YELLOW pants and LACY BLACK TIGHTS? TOGETHER? WHO???) but none-the-less fine. so we ended up in the same group for assignment.
so during the whole discussion time, i was trying to make things clear to all the group members and you were cutting me halfway to ask me for my facebook. which was still FINE.
then i asked you to read up on the topic, but you said you can't find anything on it, so i WENT and FIND for you and ask you to read it. and what, the next day everyone was familiar with all the news and headlines on the topic EXCEPT you.

WHY?

you told me the article was too long and boring. but oh, you told me you took the liberty to PRINT the article out. yea, that's like, the HARDEST thing to do.

so after not reading the article and not preparing anything for the NEXT discussion, you decided... hmph... since it's so boring, why not just ignore HO SUE ANN and play facebook on your iphone?

FINE. I DON'T GIVE A DAMN.

so i dictated your script for the presentation, since YOU ALONE didn't prepare a script. and told you to memorise it for the presentation the next day.

and whaddaya know, YOU DIDN'T. you mumbled through the presentation. while staring at the slides. like you just seen them for the first time.

and AFTER the presentation, you said you wanted to tell me something important. i thought, hmph, what, other than I'M SORRY? but NOOOO, guess what? you told me you wanted to get a LAPTOP. why?

so that you can BRING TO UNI AND FACEBOOK LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

and another GUESS WHAT? thanks to you and your misplaced common sense pigeon brain, THE REST OF US DIDN'T GET GOOD MARKS EITHER

**************************

let me just explain something here. i DETEST people that think everything will fall down into their lap WITHOUT doing ANYTHING. ~~that's why i dislike those M people, who can score half the number of As we nons did and STILL get to study overseas FREE. they work HALF AS HARD, heck some didn't work AT ALL and they get EVERYTHING.~~ like YOU.

YOU who needs your maid to set out your clothes for school. why? no hands and legs ah? still five years old?

YOU, who don't know how much every assignment means to people like me who is desparately saving money for my degree.

YOU, who took everything so lightly that you scored ONE SATU ICHI mark for maths test. it never cease to amaze me how you are unable to convert currency, when the formula and exchange rate is laid out like food at a buffet.

happy one month anniversary, life at sunway!

2010-08-05T19:35:00.052+08:00

so fast open eye close eye ad one month at sunway! *opens confetti and throw on my dusty hostel floor*

life is nice and expensive and boring. can't believe it's already one month. praise God for my wonderful parents, whom, without them, i would be in *cough*uni10*cough* somewhere else....

friends. hmph.
1. thanks to my epic fail mandarin, i can't really talk to my classmates (the way i simply hantam with c14). but after one whole month of being with them, it's safe to say that they had laughed off my epic fail mandarin and found another fail mandarin person to laugh at (aka kenneth KC).

2. found a stalkee to stalk!! (tan n lae, u guys better be proud) by looking upon both of your shining examples, i even managed to get that fellas mobile number.

3. found my bitchin partner(s). gossip started. (geeee, myra's symptoms?)

4. found an 'amanda' in my class. hehehe.

5. found many people who.... can enter ISA with me =)

6. found 2 friends who is are KPOP addicts too. but the difference is, they went to almost every single HALLYU star concert in malaysia. =(

food
1. EXPENSIVE.

2. EXPENSIVE.

3. EXPENSIVE.

teachers
1. ms muhinis = d best!

2. ~~mr keith~~ ~~sir~~ keith = interesting!

P.S when i go home, i'm going to eat wan tan mee that cost RM2.70, not RM4.50

P.P.S nit, fern and lae, every1 here hates mr. chan's pet too. old habits die hard.

many people say that they will always treasure the friends they meet in university/college more than the ones they make in high school. i don't see that happening anytime in the near future.

in college/uni, people walk or gather with their own cliques, their own group of friends - people of the same interest, that connect with each other, or just people who always have fun with each other. and i stare at them ~~like a crazy and silly weirdo~~ mainly because I TOTALLY MISS MY CLIQUE!!

i told my mother about this. she was like "of course lah, u mix with them how many years ad???"
so true. now i get why all of you guys who went to college early and said you were homesick. new friends and old friends are just different.

i am homesick AND friendsick. FML.

a new chapter... restarting

2010-07-14T20:57:00.000+08:00

greetings from a new place!

blah. that's so lame i could die.

neways, i'm just trying to say that i've finally started college. (after rotting at home for 6 months plus...)

where am i? i'm not at some secluded, m***y-infested, low quality place in the middle of nowhere. but i went to such a place and experienced things that... i'm sure i won't get to experience anywhere else. i mean, who is ever forced to wake up at 4am and sleep at 1am everyday? (albeit for only 7 days) (and i'm not going to go into much details here at this public blog) but that experience really opened my eyes about the reality concerning our country. THIS COUNTRY.

when i was there, i realised, WE ARE REALLY JUST IMMIGRANTS. who am i referring to? well, that's up to you all to guess.

i realised i couldn't stand it there. so i left. the aunties back in taiping said i have no conscience whatsoever, but trust me, GUILT was the only thing i felt (and still feeling up till now) when i left.

well, let me ask you a question. will u take something worth RM100,000 and be alone and miserable for 5 years and maybe more?

i can't really say i'm happy right now. after all, i got what i want right? i can't say yes, and i can't say no either. but i can say i'm not miserable. i'm trying my best not to think about the 'what if's and just live for the moment (at least, for now).

i'm really trying, and need as much courage as i can get. not only me, my parents too.

always keep the faith

2010-06-08T22:51:00.003+08:00

sorry, i pinjam the cassiopeia line for a post.
after six months of waiting and waiting, i give up.
they say to keep the faith, but, i don't have any more faith to keep.
(totally irrelevant ranting ends)

it has been almost seven months since i last studied.
seeing all my friends facebook and msn status-es about college and studying makes me feel really left out (and feeling like a big fat sushi)
and a few of my "acquaintance" are already in france or going to uk to study,
all under the illusive scholarship. (see i put in nice red letters for you)

of course, these are the prince and princesses of the earth kind

too all those (are not prince and princesses of the earth kind) who got scholarships, congrats!!!

P.S don't ask about the prince/princesses of the earth. if you are one of my close friends, you should know what i mean. after all, i'm practically allergic to them.

what am i doing now

2010-05-14T21:56:00.003+08:00

everytime i go to church/makan/shopping/kai kai and so happen to meet any of my mom's friend/church aunty/church uncle/friend's mother, they always ask this ONE GOLDEN QUESTION.

"so now your daughter doing what?"

i am so sick and tired of explaining (or rather, my mom feed words into my mouth and tell the whole world i didn't go to matrics) (and the aunties and uncles will go "aiyohhh, so wasted bla bla bla") so i am going to say:

yes. i gave up on matrics. kill me lah.

yes, i chose to gamble on JPA.

yes, if i didn't get JPA, i will have to use my parents (hard-earned savings) money and study on FMS.

and YES, no other option already.
(i am so dumb that i didn't get any other scholarship. FML)

i have my own personal set of reasons on why i did not go to matrics (which is debatable) but i don't want to explain it here coz i might kena flame kao kao. (BUT now oso kena like mad already =( ) (i don't understand why you all just can't ACCEPT THAT)

yea-lar, so matrics is FREE (with pocket money to boost) but so what. air is also free ma. summore more important than matrics.

i have EETTT!!!

2010-04-20T23:38:00.005+08:00

these few days, thanks to scholarship interviews, i went down to KL two weekends in a row.
last week i went to inti nilai for the STAR edu fund interview. the INTI nilai campus is so so so big... and the place (nilai) kinda reminds me of.... taiping. quiet and big... and in the middle of nowhere.

anyway anyway, everytime on the way back we will stop at kinta city ipoh. and there is where i found my BELOVED :

THE DVD SET OF YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL!!!!

*must take silly pictures of myself with IT to show myself that i REALLYYY have IT*
*pinches self*

on the first week i saw the OST and hyperventilated. i enquired about the DVD but at that time, the DVD have not come. wanted to buy the OST, but decided that SHINee is more IMPORTANT. so went home with 2009, Year of Us

then...

second week in ipoh, there it was. shining. glittering. in the display outside Friendly Records. walked in and out so many times until the shopekeeper recognised me. =.=""" i was deliberating whether or not to buy because it was RM80. and i NEVER EVER buy korean drama.

so happy i actually bought it!!!

so ho sue ann NOW PROMISES

to lend it to anyone to spread the YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL fandom!!!
(the fandom is currently very small - only me, Lae and FNS. sad...)

but you must wait for me to watch it for at least 10 times first.

p.s. now i just want both the OST. hint : happy birthday, sue ann!!!

My JPA Experience 2010

2010-04-15T22:06:00.003+08:00

i don't have to state the date and time and place ryte??? but anyways, it was in ipoh, and i was the last group of the last day and the last session of the last floor (10th floor). epic right? hopefully it's a good omen.

make sure you go there super early if you don't know the place. or buy a GPS! anyway, since i was on the last day, JPA came up with a new slip with new time AT THE LAST MINUTE. (one of the many wonders of the government)

anyway, the parents must wait on the ground floor. BUT DO NOT FRET! ipoh parade next door oni. so you go up to the 2nd floor and sign on the board (the sign says only panel 3 and 4, but the sign can go die. i walked up and down so long because i thought it's only for panel 3 and 4. what the sushi right?) and then you sit on the chair and wait until the kerani calls you to move to floor 1, 2 or 10 or etc. so you move to the designated floor.

mine was on the 10th floor. once you reach, try making new friends. my panel has only three people! so i befriended Syama, who has the same birthday as me!! (super-keng and super-nice girl. headgirl of SMK Convent Ipoh! fate or what? =D) or like in my case, berpakat to help each other if we couldn't find the right words to say.

SO once you sit and wait in this green room, the kerani outside will take your file and check. (you thought the interviewer will check??? har-d-har) and then they will give you a clip with your number. wait summore.

wait.

wait.

wait.

and then enter the room (air-con is damn efficient). ucap all your selamat. don't sit straight away. you must wait for the interviewer to go "sit-lah" then you sit. first you must introduce yourself. the introduction topics varies from panel to panel. but it is in BAHASA. so brush up your BAHASA skills.

i'm not going to nag long long about the questions part because IT CHANGES ALL THE TIME. proof : ALL MY FRIENDS GOT DIFFERENT QUESTIONS!!! they will have this magical piece of yellow paper that has a list of topics. and IT CHANGES EVERY YEAR. but you must voice out no matter what. (tips from other people : even if you don't know what to say, crap. or stare at the interviewers like you want to eat them, but with a smile) if there are other people dominating the conversation, raise your hand and say "excuse me". YOU MUST SPEAK (I DON'T KNOW HOW TO STRESS HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS!!!) you can mentally torture and kill kill kill that (moronic selfish ass) person in your head. and maintain eye contact!!!!

you must really hold on to your point and stand. even though halfway explaining, you suddenly realise that you are 180 degrees wrong, MAINTAIN YOUR POINT OF VIEW. in my case, i got thoroughly grilled by the indian interviewer about my profesional course. (he even called me STUPID!! what the sushi wat the sushi!) but I FOUGHT BACK. RAWRRRRRR!!!

oh by the way, they have your REAL SPM MARKS! the piece of white paper they keep flipping up and down when they talk to you, that is your SPM marks. not the fake A+, A or A- that we have.

once you are done, stand up and SHAKE THE INTERVIEWERS HAND. EVEN THOUGH NO ONE DID. it leaves a good impression. and say THANK YOU. and then with your back straight and your head held high, you walk out of the room.

i stumbled and fell halfway. don't be like me.

staying up till 4 to fuel my addiction

2010-03-28T21:37:00.005+08:00

i have caught the YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL SBS drama bug.
synopsis ciplakted from wiki :

The management company of the idol group A.N.JELL insisted on adding a new singer to the group as the lead vocal, Tae Kyung's voice was hurting. However,the new member, Mi Nam, had to go to the States to repair a botched eye job just before signing the contract. His agent came up with the idea of having his twin sister, Mi Nyu,to stand in for him and pretend that she was her brother. The two of them grew up in an orphanage and Mi Nyu, who was all set to become a nun, agreed to this charade as she didn't want to spoil her brother's chance of fame which would make it easier to look for their mother.

i have always liked korean/japanese rom com dramas, but the problem with watching dramas is that once you start, YOU CAN'T STOP. (provided that the drama is GOOD with two thumbs up, not the "ok-lah" type of good. and considering that i had my SPM last year, i refrained from watching dramas.

ok-lar, i cheated with anime.

and boys over flowers.

and IRIS.

another problem with dramas (especially korean), tears/killing off main character is one of the main ingredients.

BUT! you can't help but to watch.

YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL isn't really popular (on this part of the world) (yet) because it was aired at the same time as IRIS (all the people who follow k-drama will know that IRIS was BIG).

but YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL is so charming and nice and cute and funny and romantic and many handsome guys.....*dreams*

*cough cough*

that was the fan girl side of me speaking. sorry.

A.N.JELL

THE GREAT HO SUE ANN CHARACTER DESCRIPTION!!!

Park Shin-hye as Go Minam / Go Minyeo

she was really good as a-nun-turned-pop-sensation.
and she annoyed me/entertained me with her blurness.

*sorry for the smaalll amount of description. she's a GIRL. how much more can i describe? the fan girl in me memberontak*

Jang Geun Suk as Hwang Tae Kyung

lead singer of A.N.JELL (for a good reason).
Geung Suk/Tae Kyung's voice is like Godiva chocolate.
it's deep and nice and deep and nice and deep and nice.
(DON'T BELIEVE ME??? go youtube and search for "What Should I Do - Jang Geun Suk")
he should pursue singing larr. i will be the first to buy his album.
he acted in Hwang Jini and Beethoven Virus before.
but he's so cold in here that i didn't recognize him.
and the way he gets jealous everytime another guy gets close to MiNam, so deliciously cute...
and i like the way he says "Go MiNam". it has this.... ring to it.

Jung Yong Hwa as ShinWoo

aigo~~~
guitarist of A.N.JELL. and he likes MiNam.
Jung Yong Hwa is actually the lead singer of his band, CN Blue in real life.
everytime he tries to go near Minam, she runs to Tae Kyung.
and then my fangirl heart bleeds with him.
it's so sad.
it's really really sad.
it's really really really sad.

Lee Hong Ki as Jeremy.

drummer of A.N.JELL.
also the lead singer of a korean group called FT Island.

*sigh*
Jeremy.
cute and sweet (and annoying, but i refuse to admit that) Jeremy.
he had a Coffee Prince moment where he found himself strangely attracted to MiNam (whom he thinks is a guy)
he owns a dog named Jolie in the show.
*i actually had a lot to say about Jeremy, but once i face the blogger page, words don't seem to come*

oh, during a FT Island concert in Seoul, he serenaded his favourite person on stage.
he sang the A.N.JELL song 'still' to............. Jolie, the dog.
*sing to me larrr*
my heart melted into a huge puddle of melted heart when i saw the video.

judging from the length of the descriptions, you can probably guess which character i like the most.
last words of wisdom?

WATCH YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL.

p.s. does anyone know where can i get the dvd of You're Beautiful??? leave a comment if you do. thanks a bunch.

cny celebrations

2010-02-23T12:27:00.002+08:00

the CHINESE NEW YEAR season just came and went. and coincidentally, the first day of CNY was VALENTINES DAY too.
(not that it matters to me)
(pathetic human being i am)

but once we (mira n gang) went house-hopping, it's evident that LOVE was not forgotten. throughout the whole day, all we talk about was love..........

(or to be more precise, the girlfriends sulk / brag about their boyfriends)

.
.
.

what presents they got for valentine's...

why their effing bfff didn't give them any presents.....

new crushes......

how their bfff is not here together with them....
(if your bfff is here, you won't even be house-hopping with us. too busy cuddling up with bfff already)

TRAFFIC LIGHTS....
(=)))))) tan.....)

and a whole lotta gossip.
(we're girls. that's our excuse)

and i realized that CNY and VALENTINE'S DAY don't really go hand-in-hand.
look at it this way.

from love-drunk couple point of view,

bfff have to go visit relatives.
bfff have to stay at home to layan visitors.
taiping sentral too many people. hard to berdua-duaan.
bff/gff have to go back to hometown.
bff have to collect angpao so that can use money to belanja girlfriend.

merentas desa 2009

2010-01-26T21:12:00.010+08:00

i was browsing through some old photos and stumbled upon these c14+1 merentas desa photos from last year. it made me realise how much time has passed by since those times.

ahh~~~ those were the days.....

well, since my facebook sedang "memberontak" i shall upload them here.

these photos are a real gem. reminds me of the happier (less bored but more stressed) people we once were

tee and me

fern fern =))) who is at js now.

mk n phang = inseparable duo

for some unknown (and scary reason) everyone was high after we rentas the desa

u see how happy we were before spm, u c!!!

chen's monyok face

nithiyah : huh?

those peaceful days....

three may khei's

mk, crazy.

mk, crazier.

mk, craziest.

lae lae, doing her version of the yellow spotted lizard from HOLES.

camwhore moment (sane moment)

another crazy mk moment here.

the jokes lae used to tell.... i wonder what happened to them.

momentary loss of face muscle control.

mira wishing for sumthg...

how did this end up in my camera??

ohhh, a guest appearance by the pengawas BP file!!

believe or not : lae was dancing.

replacing loss energy with keropok

random moment.

random moment 2.

mk caught on camera.

still with the keropok.

keropok wasn't enough. this is where nuggets come into the picture.

that seems to be a rather interesting piece of paper to distract vivian from the camera.

the all important 100 plus.

tmc's expression : lol

a happy fern makes the world go round.

DRIVING

2009-09-27T23:03:00.002+08:00

i've waited a long long time to learn to drive. long long time. so when i finally went to the driving centre, well......... let's just say things were not like what i dreamed of.

DREAMS AND EXPECTATIONS:
nice air-conditioned place, maybe plaster ceiling, friendly crowd, fast check in system, happy clerks.

REALITY:
atap roof, no air-con, a clerk who shows me a sulky face when my fingerprint cannot be scanned by the computer, idiot (those who went with me know who i am refering to, and no, it's not the clerk) who has a brain but doesn't use it, need i say more?

DREAMS AND EXPECTATIONS 2:
a nice understandable college or uni style lecturer plus comfy hall with adequate air-conditioning. good reference books with a language that i could understand. (ok, uni lecturer is a bit over the top...)

REALITY 2:
trailer which creaks every time we move, peeling walls and teacher who keeps saying *MEMANDU ITU BAHAYA!!!*, reference book which has yellowing pages. i scanned the first page.... and spotted *diterbit pada 1988*.

BTW, the food there is OVERPRICED and NOT NICE. so for those who are going to take your driving lessons at SEPAKAT, i advice you either (a) bring your own food (b) not eat at all or (c) have a heavy breakfast.

P.S my dreams and expectations are just a product of my own imagination.

freedom taste sweet.... until you realised what you missed.

2009-09-19T20:41:00.003+08:00

after a long drought (the last time i posted something was in august) (that also only a picture), i am back!!!!

why?

because the trials are OFFICIALLY OVER!!!!!

no more sleeping at 3.
no more texting each other at 3 to stay awake.
no more staring at the test paper cursing myself on why-did-i-skip-that-part-last-night-when- i-am-studying-and-jpn-decided-to-put-it-inside.
no more dirty-pig-style-room!!

scratch the last point. room still a mess.

so as i was looking through my last few posts, i stumbled on the one about winning a prize from hitz. (i know it's long long donkey years long time ago, but i have very few posts...) then i was like, "oohh, 6 comments! let's read..."

ok so *scroll scroll*...

*scroll*

*scroll*

until i saw this comment by ADAM.

ADAM?

ADAM C?

*clink on the name/link*

*saw 'ADAM''S profile*

.....yes it was ADAM C from hitz.fm.

*ho sue ann is in shock*

P.S. let's name this the day ho sue ann discovered that ADAM C commented on her blog, of which she did not touch for months, of which she would have read it if she did decided to not be lazy and visit her stagnant blog.

see! it doesn't pay to be lazy.

LOL.

a year older.... but not much of a difference

2009-07-22T22:20:00.000+08:00

okay, so i am now officially 17. (precisely on 19 July on 2.05 pm)

and there's a (supposed) hype surrounding the oh-congratulations-you-are-seventeen-form-five-already-hor. but on my birthday, i felt terribly......

depressed.

desolate.

lonely.

dissapointed.

pfftt! teachers!

2009-07-11T11:04:00.002+08:00

sometimes, i have a feeling that teachers think a bit (a lot) too highly of themselves.
as in, because they are teachers, they are like kings or queens in school. but it is rather true. i mean look at the way we treat our teachers (in convent).
1. we have to bow a little and greet them.
2. we have to stand and welcome them (when they enter class)
3. we have to follow their every order or whim (i.e. flapping our hands around the class during pn cecilia's period)
4. we have to (patiently) deal with their horrid mood swings. (......i can't put her name here)

so, it's no wonder that the teacher's get a little bit proud and cocky at times. (naik kepala) they think they are better than us students. i mean, come on, we students are still HUMANS. HOMO SAPIENS, just like you. we are just a lil' younger than you. just because you hold the coveted "teacher" title, doesn't make you a much better human than us.

yes, we must respect our teachers but then, do they respect us.

look at this situation. me and vivian were supposed to go to this competition at ppd, on the same day as the kuiz kimia. so, we were told to go see this teacher, Pn.M, to ask on when can we retake the exam. so off we went to find her. then when we found her, we (as usual) knocked on the door of the sc lab. and was left waiting for 5 minutes before she shift her attention to us. (mind you she wasn't even teaching at that time) then she was like

"SAY WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY AND BE GONE".

I WAS LIKE PFFT?! be gone!!!? i'm not rubbish or something. to make matters worst she really didn't care whether we wondering if it was possible to retake our exam.

all she cares is that she needs to go back home at (precisely) 1.30 to cook.

be afraid..... be very afraid....

2009-06-21T10:51:00.002+08:00

i won something! for the first time!

2009-06-11T22:08:00.003+08:00

yes seriously! i won something from a competition for the first time! (the time where i won a tin of lychee during standard three is not counted) and best of all...... i won it from two celebrities!

yes celebrities! paris hilton-like celebrities! the one with camera and paparazzi!

yes! want to know who?

I WON BLACK EYED PEAS NEWEST ALBUM PLUS TEE FROM ADAM C AND JIN FROM HITZ.FM!!!!!

ok, fine. so they're not paris hilton. they don't have cameras snapping their pictures evertime they go to tesco or pavillion. but they manage the night show together, and that's big enough for me. i mean, their djs! people listen to them on the radio! every night!

so, i knew that the station was giving away free cds thru' out the day and at precisely 8.42 pm yesterday, i heard a B.E.P song playing on the radio (it was the cue to call) while redoing my kerja amal moral for the 4th time.
and i thought, no technically my reflex arc took over. i grabbed my mobile phone the instant i heard will.i.am "gonna get get" line from boom boom pow.

*toot toot*

i picked on my fingernails.

hello it's hitz.fm.

i fell off my chair.

(BTW, MK (ON THE FAR LEFT) GOT 3RD PLACE FOR TRADITIONAL CATEGORY, YK N LAE (WEDDING COUPLE) GOT 1ST!! AND VIVIAN GOT 3RD FOR CONTEMPORARY (EVENING WEAR) CATEGORY)
i know this is like old, traditional, warisan nenek moyang news already, but I AM SO PROUD of my anak-anak during fashion show.

i know it was a group effort (e.g the finding the gowns, make up, walking on high heels etc. ) and since i wasn't modeling (like, obviously) i tried my best to be of use.

and this event was very important to me because it was the closest thing i could get to actually designing and sewing a gown by myself.

so.........

TO may khei, ah khai, lae, vivian, the chinese umbrella, the youth bridal studio aunty (the bridal studio became our 3rd home), lemon tree, our transport manager aka all the parents, the high heels, mr gary, MARIA and JULIA, mrs chua and the rest that made it WORK!!!

THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT A SUCCESS!!!!

i raise both hands.

tuition vs school

2009-03-08T10:28:00.002+08:00

a little while ago, my class's bm teacher got mad at us (the class) for not preparing some kind of pembentangan. to save the teacher's "water-face" aka air muka i'll just call her Pn Ketot.

when she was busy throwing insults to us, a line from her rant caught my attention.

" saya tahu kamu tak perlu saya ajar kamu.
kamu sudah pandai, pergi tuition pun dah cukup!"

which, brings me to my main point here. everytime we mention about how much homework we have in school, and not counting extra co-curiculur activities, the teachers would always bring up the matter of tuitions. well, according to the teachers when they grew up, there were no such thing as tuitions. then, they proceed to condemn tuitions, as a waste of time and sort.

bear in mind a few of these teachers are giving tuition outside school hours too.

sorry to say, but the education system has caused us to be the way we are. everthing we do is just to get the string of As in our exam cert. WE are labelled by how many As we get, how high is our GPA and our percentages. and another sorry point to note is that the standard of teachers in national school is going down the drain. i remember once in Form 4 where we asked our biology teacher about the term "denatured".

the 3 devils in the back row (aka mk, vc and i): cikgu what is "denatured"?
Cikgu : huh? 'DENATURED'?
the 3 devils in the back row : ya cikgu. denatured itu apa?
Cikgu : errr...errr....(after a lot or err-ings) ah, Penyahaslian!
the3 devils in the back row : huh? penyahaslian? apa itu cikgu?
cikgu : err... err.......
the 3 devils : .... (giggling silently and hitting each other for giggling)
the rest of the class looks hopefully at the teacher.
cikgu : err... err..... nanti saya balik rumah cari kamus. esok saya bagitahu kamu k?
at this point, we (the 3 devils were already ROFL-ing).

see! that's why we need tuitions. and to note, i think the time most of us spend in tuition are much more than the time we spend in school.

again.

back after, what, 6 weeks of holiday? waking has always been the hardest part of going back to school - no matter if it's monday or after a long holiday, waking up is STILL the hardest part.

clique = popularity(?)

2009-02-03T21:22:00.000+08:00

i was browsing through blogs when i came across fern's blog (http://www.intoducing-another-me.blogspot.com/), and her newest blog post "cliques".

after reading it through, i was thinking, what defines 'popularity', especially in convent.

she said that there was a friend of a friend of a friend of her mother whose daughter is trying to get good grades so that she could enter our clique.

first of all, getting good grades doesn't mean that you could be accepted into our clique. we have been close friends for yeaarrrssss now, and i mean yearrrsssss. for example, i was there when Fern was born. and who can forget May Khei and her super sombong attitude when she was small (no offense la, you are WAY BETTER now). oh ya, and ORANG-ORANG RAJIN KOORDINAT (O4O2) a.k.a Nithiyah. Hah, i even remember how Lian Li, Wei Ling, Hsiang and I would smuggle yo-yo and ranma comics to school! oh and the infamous knock-on-the-head-change-everything-deru-ombak Lae?

furthermore, we just try harder than everyone else. we are not rich, so i think most of us (except those who are sure to be taking FatherMotherScholarship(FMS)) are trying to get a scholarship. and us few of us happen to super-rajin and bertanggungjawab. for example May Khei and her long, long, long TO-DO LIST.

reminiscing about all this makes me feel........old(!) when the c14 gather together, we make sure we spend as much time together so that these memories never fade.

having fun, cliques, good grades, popularity and friendship are very, VERY different things. being smart doesn't make you my friend, nor vice versa.

5 THINGS i did not know about BALI, INDONESIA

2008-12-27T00:22:00.008+08:00

1. they serve very good trifles there.

2. balinese people are very dirty poeple....

3.they have more high-end shops there (better than taiping!)

4. there is a strawberry farm in bali.

trust me, it is colder than cameron highlands.

5. i will enjoy my time there.

introducing GASOLINE

2008-12-19T22:47:00.003+08:00

okay, i have heard a lot about GASoline from my cousin, about how interesting it is and (very) popular among her friends. so since i was at BTS or more commonly known as Berjaya Times Square by kampung-folks like yours truly, i decided to stop by to see how yeng and how keng is this place.

oh by the way, the GASoline here is not the gasoline you use in your car or the common gasoline (i am not familiar with the uses of gasoline)(common gasoline(?)) but it is actually a RESTAURANT. oh, and apparently, it is GASoline, not GASOLINE. (notice the diff) (i guess GASOLINE is less funky than GASoline). it is on the third floor, opposite OLD TOWN CAFE. on the outside, it looks rather spooky (there's bones at the entrance) and dark, but as you enter, well......it is still dark and spooky.

here, you will be greeted by (most probably) a sulky teenager who will look at you with what-the-hell-who-are-you-looks-down-his-nose-ayah-another-customer-nevermind-i-look-yeng kinda look. then, he/she will ask whether you "wan floor or table?!" after trying to relay the message in his/her mother tongue, then comes his/her ah beng english translated version. he/she will then bring you to your seat/table and hands you the menu, the paper to order and a pencil. the rest, self service.

instead of the stereotype can-i-take-your-order?, we had to write down our own order into the paper with the very blunt pencil (which i bet has been used by countless others).and then on the wall, you will have three buttons....."call", "waiter" and "bill".

i guess by now you can already (virtually) imagine how it is like. u write your order, you press button, waiter comes. the buttons is a very interesting concept if you are one of those types who loves to see others coming to serve you and your every whim.

anyway, the food there was typical cafe style food, although they do serve a very wide range of food (in very cute plates and cups) and the air-conditioning there is very efficient.....

i don't think you want to hear me crap on and on about the place anymore (as i just realised i have been writing and scribbling for four paragraphs already). so, now i serve you a few photographs of GASoline.enjoy.

p.s. i realised that the pictures came out in the opposite direction instead of the way i wanted them to.well, if you would so kindly scroll down first, and then slowly upwards........

the food we ordered. observe that the logos are even printed on the napkins!

my cousin and i

the logo of the restaurant. look at how grumpy she is.....

.......and compare it with this!

mewarisi genes-genes 'exercise'

2008-12-13T16:03:00.001+08:00

when one asks me what my good attributes are.... well, i would simply hantam and say "ahh, my loud voice kwa"

i would never, NEVER say that my fitness is my plus point.

i do not really favor anything that requires me using my energy or muscle to the max. i mean, i would not wake up and say "hey, lets go jogging today! the sky is blue and the birds are chirping!" or "what a BEAUTIFUL day! i should go for a swim!" or "ayo, blood pressure go up ad, so must go exercise!". and then, after the exercise, i will not be "wah, i feel so darn good after the exercise lah! i go exercise again tommorow-lah!"

no way.

if that happens, i grant you permission to hit me at the back of my head.

the thing that spurred and inspired me to blab about this issue is because every time i meet my mother's friends/acquaintance, the thing i always hear is "ahh ah lan, why your daughter never go up the hill wan?" (the hill referring to maxwell hill) or "lan, why never bring your daughter go jalan lake?" (lake gardens) and when the aunty or uncle looks at me, expecting an answer, i will just look at the aunty or uncle and give a meek smile.

it annoys me a lot because my mother is like, an exercise freak. not 'freak' in a bad way, but in the way that she is really crazy about it. worst, she used to join competitions and jogathons and more than often, earned a place in the top three. even when you just walk alongside her when she goes to the market or tesco to hunt for discounted chillies and cauliflowers, she walks as though a lion or tiger is at her tail.

unfortunately, when i came along i did not seem to share her interest in exercising. any form of exercising in a way.

i have came to a conclusion that my father's lazy genes has polluted my moms hardworking genes to produce...... well, a much lazier combination, i.e. me.

debates, story spinning, and RM2.70 petrol

2008-12-03T23:23:00.006+08:00

well, as many know, my dear friend, ms. lim fern yi, has written in to the star to display her, erm, "perasaan tidak puas hati" about people who do not appreciate the price drop of fuel (that is, if you have been living under the coconut shell or have no money to buy newspaper, from RM2.70 TO RM2.00 (and now RM1,70)).

as a friend and also supporter, i would like to express my own "perasaan tidak puas hati" about the matter.

you see, after she wrote in to the star, she received an onslaught of critics and terrible and rude comments at this blog, www.clique14@hotmail.com , mainly from people (i.e. the star reader and etc. who do not have the guts to actually use proper means to defend their POV) who disagrees with her abt that issue, which eventually lead to the usage of four letter words and much other rude things (they even say we have terrible grammar. heads up, we just do not have a very colourful vocab like them)

and the worse thing was, they treated us, 16-year-old teenagers like rubbish who go to school to lepak instead of studying, quoting that we do not drive etc. etc. and do not work etc. etc. and we do not know what the heck is going on in this country etc. etc. and in general meaning LITTLE KIDS WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TERRIBLE THE ADULTS ARE SUFFERING SHOULD NOT MESS WITH SUCH ISSUES.

yes, they sunk that low.

they suck too.

ever heard of freedom of expression people?

must i remind you that these few unfortunate kids who "do not earn a single penny" are the future leaders?

anyway, i would like to show the ORIGINAL letter that fern sent to the star.....

I refer to the article "Fuel price drop 'good but not good enough'"(Star metro 20 Nov). I am irritated to see that my fellow citizens are not content with the price drop in petrol. Compared to the previous RM2.70, petrol has gone down by a whooping 70 cents, something not expected before the global economic recession. Currently, the petrol price is only 8 sen away from the price Malaysians paid before the drop in price.According to many, if not all, of the people interviewed, the reduction is 'not enough' and by right Malaysians should only pay around RM1.70 per litre. The price should reflect the prevailing global low prices. While I agree, I would like to point out that the interviewees sounded rather unappreciative of the price reduction.I would like to remind the people that for a long period of time, the government has been cushioning the price hike of petrol. We have been enjoying a subsidized rate, contrary to many other countries. We should not take it for granted that the petrol price remained constant for a considerable amount of time. Honestly, we should not have been enjoying those rates for some time now. Let's say there was no recession to fall back on. What would happen if the government couldn't subsidize petrol anymore?On the environmental side, a higher price of petrol is good because it lengthens the time before petrol eventually runs out. I am sure many are aware of this problem, yet, no action is taken. We don't seem to care.True, there are alternatives. However, not many are found to be suitable. I am very worried that the future generation would be left with nothing and worst comes to worst, will have to walk from place to place to and can only wish that our ancestors did something to save the environment.As I am but a student, I do not know the burden many people endured due to the petrol increase to RM2.70. However, it is not fair for the people to claim that the price reduction is 'only 15 sen' and therefore, 'not good enough'. The grass is always greener on the other side. Please appreciate the price reduction more.

......compared to the one (eventually) published in The Star.

I REFER to the article “Fuel price drop good but not good enough,” (The Star, Nov 20). I am irritated to see fellow Malaysians are still not happy with the drop in petrol prices. Compared to the previous RM2.70 a litre, oil price has gone down by a whopping 70 sen, something not quite expected before the global recession.
According to many of the people interviewed, the reduction is “not enough”. They said that we should pay around RM1.70 per litre as the price should reflect the prevailing global prices. While I agree, I would like to point out that these people sound rather unappreciative of the price cut.
I would like to remind them that for a long period of time, the Government was subsidising petrol and we had been enjoying a subsidised rate. We should not take it for granted that the price will always remain low.
I am a student but I do know the burden many people faced when the price jumped to RM2.70. However, it is not fair for people to claim that the price reduction is only 15 sen and therefore, it is “not good enough”. Please show some appreciation.
LIM FERN YI,
Taiping, Perak.

P. S. the one in bold are the ones that actually appeared in the published article. the rest, manipulated, deleted and masuk jamban MPT.

the thing is, IT'S SO DIFFERENT!!!!!!

well, look at what Malaysian media are doing.

spinning stories is now their favourite past time, eh?

so, use your brain and compare and contrast those two articles.

see whether you change your mind.

TO MR CHAN, hats down to you

2008-11-11T23:23:00.003+08:00

Mr Chan is a kind man.
Mr Chan is a GENEROUS MAN.

those were the exact thoughts running through my head, no, maybe all of the LiE-rs students when our greatest teacher (kneels and hails Mr Chan), belanja us for a meal at secret recipe.

SECRET RECIPE
SECRET RECIPE
SECRET RECIPE

raised in a very kiam-siap environment (note. my mother), i have been taught that indulging oneself in cakes and cakes and tom yum that is about five times the price of the one you get at the hawker center is utterly unnecessary. so therefore, i would like to reveal that i had NEVER ACTUALLY ate in secret recipe (taiping) before.

so therefore i jumped in the chance of eating there when mr chan belanja. come on.... free makan la.....

it could also compensate for my ridiculously low LiE marks, which sent me tumbling down to SIXTH place in the class, and contributing to my ONLY B in my results.

anyway, we went there and like most gatherings, sat, talked and ate. fern and i actually wanted to try the EXPENSIVE (rm25) lamb stew. but noticing that it was (one of) the most expensive thing in the menu, we settled for lasagna (which only cost rm12).
to our shock, when the waitress repeated the order, we found out that someone actually ORDERED that expensive thing.
and it was no other than..... Jen Siong!!!!

well, he scored the highest, so i suppose we get to eat based on our marks, which basically explains a lot. here are three pics (not a great fan of camwhoring, so only three pics) of it.

nithiyah and her kiddies meal burger.

no kidding, she actually ordered a kiddy meal set.

an earful!

2008-09-01T19:54:00.002+08:00

ok, ok, after much pestering by my friends, i finally went and pierce my ear.
and now it hurts like hell and there is a possibility of a 'nanah'.
oh, great.

hangin' those flags

2008-09-01T19:11:00.003+08:00

as my dearest headmistress absolutely LOVES LOVES LOVES, to stress that our school is not fully supported by the government, we must help the school by donating stuff and studying hard to get good results to help her 'sell the school' (yes, she really said that!). i wondered about that as i woke up early in the morning to go to school (answering my call to duty as a good prefect) DURING THE HOLIDAYS to help decorate the school. we had to hang up flags and make banners and hang them high up. as i was holding the ladder and keeping a watchful eye on siu chen who was climbing up the ladder, i kept asking myself, is the school that poor until they cannot afford to HIRE workers to put up the decorations. if so, then where do they get the money to buy buckets and buckets of hideous yellow ochre paint to paint the whole school? naturally, we, the prefects, as responsible and nice as we are, were assigned to decorate the school. during that day, siu chen and a couple of other prefects RISKED THEIR LIFES climbing up and down the ladder (plus facing bird faeces) trying to make the school look "ceria, kreatif dan innovatif". after the rest of the prefects went home, the remaining prefects decided to pose for a few shots, with the camera on timer mode, to mark our great success.

i forgot to edit this pic, so sorry wei ling, you will be upside down for the moment.

note the green and the black.
and they say that standing under the ladder is bad luck.
buddha.

i would like to take this moment to thank the faithful ladder who has served us well.

How To Ask For More Marks When Receiving Your Results

2008-08-28T16:57:00.002+08:00

well, remember the moments when u are inches away from an 'A' and you really need that one miserable, teeny-weeny one mark.....

where you are so desperate for that one mark to beat the girl next to you....

where one mark makes so much of a difference to you....

if you are in my shoes, which means the above situation happens a lot.....

here are a few tricks of the trade...

1. step towards the teacher, looking as confident as ever, even if you are not. in that way, the teacher will think that you are actually bringing forward a based argument, even if you are not.

2. always arm yourself with a calculator, a pencil and a red pen. remember, CALCULATOR, PENCIL, RED PEN. the calculator is very, VERY important. u need it to (re)count your marks after you add or minus marks. the pen is there so that you can save your teacher the hassle. usually, EVERY TIME u ask for more marks, the teacher can't seem to find her red pen. she or he will usually fumble around looking for a pen......

3. treat your teacher like she is GOD. do not, I REPEAT, DO NOT, EVER EVER shout or scream at your teacher. you are supposed to kiss her feet....

4. rally the support of your other friends, who, are desperate and in need of that one mark too. the more the merrier (and easier) it will be.

5. look at him/her straight in the eye. make sure you have his/her full concentration.

6. use our pathetic puppy eye look (especially if the your teacher is a guy). and use your manja voice.... it works pretty well

7. if all else fails you, CRY! cry like there's no tomorrow. cry like (touch wood) your favourite pet/bff has died. this is THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY. teachers are suckers for tears.

counting the seconds.....

2008-08-24T16:18:00.002+08:00

at this moment, i am 15 hours, 17 minutes, and 34 seconds away from going back to school.

and i am dreading every passing second. getting up at 6, trying to tie our hair in the neatest way possible half asleep, getting scolded for not having neat hair (and ended up having to pay a RM1 fine for that) and hearing teachers drone on and on about bio, chem, physics, moral....., going to tuition and hear the tuition teacher drone again, trying to finish (at least) the homework (of the fierce teachers).......
and the cycle repeats again.
again.

AGAIN.

AGAIN.

AGAIN.

they say a students life is a breeze. i cannot count how many times my mother has said, "ayor, ann-ah, you know-ah, you only have to study-nya. you see me, have to cook summore (apparently, people like my father and i cannot understand how hard it is to cook). last time ah, i have to help my father work...."

i cannot bear going back to school, and to that boring hectic lifestyle, but i have to force myself to face reality. the truth really hurts rite? in a way, we, students also have a 8-5 lifestyle. we go to school at 7 until 2, and then go home, bathe, grab a bite, and then go to tuition. after tuition, we go home, eat dinner, and then it is tuition again. by the time we go home from tuition, we want to just sit back and relax. but NO! there is homework to do. notes, activity books, science reports and etc. we want to cry in frustration but hey, you would be just wasting more time.

updating on oneself

2008-08-22T14:25:00.002+08:00

anyway, i have been busy blogging and editing and coordinating the other blog i am sharing with my 13 other friends, so i have totally forgotten on this one. (please spare some effort to visit the blog (clique14) which can be linked through this blog, on the right hand side bar)

so, basically, i have to do a u-turn and go back to this one which i had forgot.

last, erm, sunday, i attended a bbq at ye khai's house, which was fantastic as the food do not seem to finish or lessen, no matter how many trips i made to the buffet table. as we were bored we decided to play the magical spoon game, which is the magical box game, except that we use a spoon instead. so, after asking a few 'truth-and-dare' questions, a brilliant friend of mine, (who was borned into this world named hu may khei) went around asking whether we are 'padded or pure' .......

sweat.

can't blame her. she was high on bbq chicken wings.

for those who do not know what am i crapping about, well, you don't really need to know.

anyway, here are the results.....
*piggy, sushi, pumba, he....he....he, smiley braces - paded
*black banana, pao, goldfish, fire, pink bunny - pure

* names changed to retain privacy......

the annual torture highlight of the year - RANGERS CAMP.............from a sushi point of view

2008-07-06T21:36:00.001+08:00

heck, that's a long title.
well, as most (Convent) pandu puteri renjers know, the annual renjers camp is a must. held in the school grounds, it is a chance for the senior members (form 5) of the Renjers Uniformed Unit to payback for all the suffering they had to endure for the past 3 years by torturing us instead, for three days and two nights. we, the juniors, on the other hand, will have to just bite our tongue and get on with it, in respect.

this year, i was actually eagerly waiting to see how will the rangers camp turn out to be. it is, in fact, interesting to see how the different groups of form 5 students plan and organise the camp. each year is different and unique, and by far the Most Well-Planed Camp IS 'World Without Ranjers" by the Ranjers of 2006 and the Most-Tiring Camp falls to Ranjers Camp 2007. This year...

this year, things were a bit different as i was the few "lucky, handpicked" ones who were chosen to become a 'penolong ketua kumpulan', which is basically the leader of the clan which has to leads its pack to grasp for glory. hah. the other "lucky" victims were siu chen, wei ling, fern, vivian, fns, mei ching, ju, grace, phang, may khei and tee-jian.

maybe its just me, or something, but i think this batch of penolongs are the most spirited ones, by far. no offence, seniors, but look at us! all of us even went all out to hunt for new cheers and stayed up late to fix our scarfs. come on, we deserve a lot of credit... (even though a few of us went back home for (un)reasonable purposes).

comments on....
1) backwoods cooking
oh, i applaud mei ching for her efforts during backwoods cooking. all of us know that you are the ONLY one in our entire gang that actually KNOWS how to handle a pot. come on, this girl even made dessert! you really deserved it.

2) ghostbusting
by the way, nhormeeta, if you actually read this, please bear in mind that if you are really scared of ghosts, then just quit. don't come running back to me in the middle of the game. you held on so tight that my arm would just fall off. for me, the ghostbusting event was, in fact, not that scary, just right. at least we do not have any more screaming ghosts this year.

SCHOOL UNIFORMS - sexy?

2008-06-03T22:43:00.000+08:00

malaysians have done it again. they seem to be good at it-shocking people, i mean. i've always thought that the uniforms in malaysia..... are rather bland.....and unpractical. i still remember sweating and marching around in those horrid thick, blue pinafores with a shirt AND a camisole underneath all that. to make matters worse, all the pupils in malaysia WEAR THE SAME THING.
and now, they say its SEXY?!

School uniform sexy, says group

KUALA LUMPUR: A Malaysian group condemned the uniform worn by girls at government schools, saying it encouraged rape and pre-marital sex.“The white blouse is too transparent for girls and it becomes a source of attraction,” National Islamic Students Association of Malaysia vice-president Munirah Bahari said in a statement.“It becomes a distraction to men, who are drawn to it, whether or not they like looking at it,” she said, calling for a review of uniform policy so that it did not violate Islamic ideals.In multicultural Malaysia, home to majority-Muslim Malays as well as ethnic Chinese and Indians, female students at government schools have a choice of wearing a white blouse with a knee-length skirt or pinafore.They may also wear a “baju kurung” and a headscarf is optional for Malay students.Munirah said that “covering up” according to Islamic precepts was important to fend off social ills, including “rape, sexual harassment and even premarital sex.”“This leads to babies born out of wedlock and, to an extent, even prostitution,” she said.“Decent clothes which are not revealing can prevent and protect women from any untoward situations,” she said, suggesting that girls wear a blouse of a different colour or with an undergarment.However, the girls themselves also came in for criticism, with the association saying that some used the white blouse to lure men.“This is the source of the problem, where we can see that schoolgirls themselves are capable of using this to attract men to them,” Munirah said.“This could see them getting molested, having premarital sex and all sorts of things.” – AFP

goodness. these people must have nothing else to do. a school uniform 'encouraging rape and pre-marital sex'? what did that pitiful blouse did to deserve such treatment? in my opinion, these people are simply finding excuses for the increasing number of rape and kidnapping cases in the country. but, rape does not only happen to schooling students only. they should look through a bigger perspective. even 76-year-old women gets raped. why blame it on the students?

HECK, why are we focusing on whether or not the school uniform is sexy? instead, the government should give more attention to the bigger issues in the country, such as the PSD scholarships.

the event of the year.

HARI KOKU

well for my school's headmistress anyway.

so there i was thinking that it will be such a dull event and my brain is going to hibernation mode when suddenly i heard the word: fashion show/competition.

for an aspiring fashion designer n costume lover in small sleepy taiping, i was like....WAT!!!!?

i was in cloud nine. hehe, so happy, thinking about what i could do, who will be the model when suddenly, reality came down onto me.

i cannot sew.

aside from my horrid experiences trying to put together an outfit for my beloved barbie doll (which ended terribly) the needle is a very foreign instrument 4 me.

but i still tried my best. i wanted to join this. even better, i wanted to win this. after much drama designing it, buying the idiotic piece of blue cloth i was told i could not attend the fashion show.

WHAT THE ****?

n so i begged n begged until i could get my hands on the coveted pas bermalam. yeay!

unfortunately i didn't win. teletubbies won

......gloomy.......

here's the pics, anyway

THE 1ST POSTING IS THE HARDEST

2007-12-26T22:06:00.000+08:00

Here i am, sitting and pondering on this matter.

I suppose it's normal to talk and introduce myself in the 1st posting.

So here i go.

I am a descendant of eve, that makes me a female. I am from a timid country above Singapore, which is named Malaysia. I repeat , Malay-sia. I am struggling to reach the top in this tudung-infested country. I love drawing, and designing is my passion (which i cannot pursue).

There you go.
