I don't it's dead... Yet.

So, exam stress exam stress EXAM STREEESSS-

Is making me crazy.

And now my nose is flowing and my throat feels like sandpaper (this would be a GREAT time to get H1N1... Not.)

OMG, MIRACLE! I actually passed Sejarah test on Friday (second time in my life lol)! I hope I can do the same for mid-term... I'm actually studying moral. An apocalypse must be at hand.

Oh and that day, En. Yap came in for WBS. He had five stacks of paper under his arm and I thought we were going to have some sort of test (silly me). I was half-right. It was a test, but for the Form 3. So I continue drawing. Xiao Lin was doing Add Maths work with Suet Suet (you two always make me feel stupid... RAWR!).

Then, to cut the long story short, En. Yap COERCED XL and I to help him staple together the Form 3 test papers. We both didn't want to but he MADE us. Ok, so I guess him making me do is justified, since I was doing anything what other people would deem "constructive". But XL was seriously studying 'kay? People are busy doing constructive stuff and you go bother them. Areyouevenateachergoddammit?!

English Society had a Treasure last week... My group won. :D

Ok, my head is blank now. Will sign off soon.

Before I do - Kath, Len, Ching: Remember, no matter what will happen in the future, I will always love you guys!!! <3

Technology and Friends - a frightful combination
Sunday, April 4, 2010 10:37 AM
First of all, even my quota of half an hour internet per week has been withdrawn - again for no reason. Which is why my blog and facebook have been rather neglected. If anyone even comes here anymore.

So, if I'm on internet exile, how am I typing this now? It's simple actually.

Every Monday, my dad goes out to the night market. Miraculously, it's the only day I haven't any tuition. And my mom's at work so I have the house to myself. Oh, bliss, I (illegally) go online. But whatever I do, I gotta do it quick before my dad gets back. As it is, I've barely enough time to check out the Naruto update and check on my facebook before I get off. So I haven't any blogging time. So how am I doing this? Simple.

Now that there's 3G that is. XD

Actually, I'm using my friend's cell to do this. And I can say one thing.

It feels weird typing things out completely on a cell. The urge to slip into txt speak is almost irresistable. Which is why I'll keep this short and sweet so as to avoid making my blog looking like an archive of text messages.

Toodles!

Rantins, Ramblings and Angry Outpourings
Saturday, March 6, 2010 9:40 PM
Fore note: I ought to change my blog template soon... Maybe later.

Ok, moms.

I know my mom is awesome and all that, but she can be kinda overbearing at times (ok, who the he;ll am I kidding? VERY overbearing).

Today was one of those times.

First, when school began this year, she BANNED me from the internet for no apparent reason other than "Your SPM exams are coming up this year."

I mean, yes, I know that. But that's not a good reason to place a COMPLETE BAN on me.

So I literally had to beg and plead for three freaking months so I can finally, FINALLY get...

Half an hour of internet every Saturday.

Well, you take what you can get. And suck it up.

So then, comes my appointed time and I leap in front of the computer. I mean, it's justified, it's the only time I'm allowed to touch throughout the entire week.

And what do I get?

"WHY are you on the computer?! You should be studying! Did you know that university graduates are out there jobless? Have you read the papers?!"

By the Gods, yes, I have read the papers. Yes, I do happen to know there's increasing competition for job opportunities. But that doesn't give you any reason to totally deprive me of facebook and OneManga.

I mean, c'mon, is teenager even allowed to act like a teenager in this household?

Yes, I understand the importance of having an education, but this is crossing the line.

My brother said it was okay, so why can't it be OKAY?!

I don't think I'm even explaining this right, ugh. I can't express this frustration in words.

Maybe, in short, I guess I could say...


"CAN'T I HAVE A LIFE HERE?!?!"

I haven't been online for so long, I feel so.... Detached from the internet. Like I have no idea how to make a blog post anymore. It's terrifying. Miraculously, onii-sempai is online, someone to keep me sane.

Well, first of all, I saw my maternal grandparents for the first time in at least 4 years. Eh, long story...

And my paternal granma came to down to live with us for a while. Erm, not meaning to be nasty, but I don't really enjoy it. I mean, she can only speak Chinese and I can't. So erm, yeah, awkward.

Gosh, this month has proven many times to me that I'm an incompetent idiot.

... Geesh, now that I'm finally online, I can't think of a thing to say. Once I shut down the PC, my mind will explode into a dozen topics.

There's that idiotic deja vu feeling again.

It's Christmas~!!
Friday, December 25, 2009 9:04 PM
All right, so before anything else, MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!! :D Hope you managed to keep all your resolutions this year (I certainly didn't).

So now, the reason why this blog (and my facebook for that matter) has been dead for so long is after my self-banishment, we moved to our new house. And would you know it, it takes about a week for TMnet to transfer the Broadband to the new house.

Well, great. Just great.

And what was the reason to exile myself? I was entering a Wacom competition on deviantArt and decided to take time-off from the digital plane to work on my entries. No thanks to TMnet's outstanding performance, I missed the judging period. But it dosn't matter anyway. I didn't even make it into the semi-finals. Well, my Photoshop skills are still far from adequate.

So anyway, the past 2 months have been chaotic. Standing in either of the houses would give you the sense you were standing on the field of battle. Cartons and plastic bags were strewn everywhere, Wrong boxes were placed in the wrong rooms17 years' worth of rubbish was thrown out, my mom and I were slaving away to pack and unpack and what does my dad do?

"Hey, you forgot to pack this-and-that!" -puffs on ciggarette-

It ain't funny I tell you, it ain't funny.

Even worse, after everything was set up nice and proper, he starts stuffing HIS junk into, onto and under every available surface in the house (and that includes my room) regardless of how ugly it looks. You have no IDEA how much junk he can fit into our old apartment - it somehow was enough to fill up our new semi-D house (well, for the record, I have no idea either).

And not long after we moved in, we brought our new dog back home. :D

This was onw of the few things I managed to get my way (I sound so stuck up when I say that ^^; ). I got to choose his name and I named him Kiba (yeah, yeah, go ahead and call me whatever you want).

The only problem is - he barks. A lot. Even for a puppy. Worse still - he barks at night. The neighbours must hate us - then again, the nighbours have dogs too. Except theirs' don't bark at night.

Am still getting used to living in a landed property. I mean, you have to excuse me for this one - I've lived in an apartment my entire life. Now that I've moved, it's kinda of like that feeling you get when you experience culture shock. Lame comparision, I know.

And on the topic of Christmas, it just doesn't feel like Christmas to me this year. And for some unknown reason hidden deep in my subconciousness, that little fact really frustrates me. Maybe it's the absence of Jeanette's annual Christmas get-together/party. But she can't hold one this year as she's in the US of A visiting her sis even as I'm typing this.

Speaking of travelling, I'm following my mom to Korea this Sunday we'll on be coming back on midnight of January 23rd. Meaning I'll only get like a few hours of sleep then I'll have to haul my butt off to school and see you guys again. I think I'll just sleep in class. Hee, sleeping in class on my first day back xD

And also, sometime ago, my bro and sis came to visit. While my brother slaved away at the computer setup (sorry and thanks nii-san! ^^; ), my sis and I monopolized his Nintendo DS xD It was really fun - too bad I can't afford one. It'd take me 13 months of pocket money to save for that thing.

Maybe I could try my luck at Cash Converters. That is, if I can convince my mom to take me there.

Untitled (cause I want it that way)

Jeezus, what the hell are holidays for anyway if you can't sleep in and stay up late?

I have to wake at 7.30 tomorrow. AM. Doesn't help that my insomnia has gotten worse.

Hell, this sucks.

Heck, I'm not in a right state of mind right now (must have been the chocolate... muuu...) so I might just say something totally off and weird.

So, recently I saw a Tesco advertisement in the papers. A Back-to-school promotion. I just sat there and was like ... WTF?

Hell, how did the holidays pass by so fast??

Hell, what was so great about this year's holidays anyway? Or about the year itself for that matter? I've been sick throughout the holidays and now we're in the process of moving, it's been chaotic as hell.

And why is it no matter how much stuff I try to throw out, my shelves still don't look less cramped?!

Hell, this entire year wasn't so good for me.

Hell, why am I saying hell so much?

And why do I love the 'Enter' button so much?

Hell, something must be wrong with me.

I Simply Do Not Understand Myself Sometimes...
Sunday, November 29, 2009 10:09 PM
The people closest to us are usually the most alien to us. This is also true for yourself.

Well, see, the reason I exiled myself form the computer was to... Er, get started on and complete an... Assignment. Which I assigned myself to. That is, erm... Never mind.

The point is, whenever I was doing my... Work, I'd fidget thinking about Facebook and Gaia. The minute I was done with one of the assignments (which I assigned myself), I loog on to the internet. Even though I'm WAY behind schedule.

And now that I'm here, I'm thinking about my assignments (which I assigned to my - Oh, you get the idea).

And my deadline is tomorrow.

Well, crap.

I'm off!

I Bid Thee Farewell!
Thursday, November 26, 2009 7:38 PM
For those who read my blog (if there are any of you out there), I will not be updating..... Until Monday. But it shouldn't make a difference since I haven't updated much recently anyway. xD

Anyway, I will be on a self-imposed internet exle as soon as I've finished this post. Until Monday.

So yeah...

Adios!

DOG!!~ 8D
Sunday, November 15, 2009 7:52 PM
111th post!



Finally, I can get a dog!! :DDDDD

To be more precise, we just got one today!! 8DDD (I've always wanted a dog, but living in an apartment can be rather restricting in that way)

Actually, the house renovations are far from complete, and we can't bring the little guy home as we're still in the apartment, so he's still staying with the breeder for the time being. ]:

For those wondering, it's a German Shepherd. Yes, he's a puppy, but not for long - his dad's HUGE!! oo

How much was he? Well... 3.5 k...

Well, today my folks and I went over to Bangsar to check out this breeder who had put an advertisement in the Classifieds. So the first thing we saw was this great black gate and a sign with a dog's picture on it saying:

I can reach the gate in 2 seconds.
Can you?

Er, ok. Very reassuring for burglars.

And the guy opens the gate for us and beyond that at the back of the house is another gate. And behind that gate were two MONSTE - I mean, two German Shepherds. And they were big. I mean, BIG. They were up to my waist, ground to shoulder.

And they were barking. Well, that wasn't too much of a problem but my mom was scared. xD

Anyway, the guy took us through the office and into the back, where the kennels were. And in one of the enclosures were these two puppies. Yes, they were cute.

Nope, no pictures, sorry. But there will be soon! :D

There were 3 other females, but they all had been sold. Now the two remaining were males.

Well, all three of us liked this particular one - he had his ears all perked up and he was darker coloured than his brother. And bigger too. Oh, and more mischievous - he kept on torturing the garden hose. xD

And he seemed particularly fascinated by my watch - every time I approached him with my left hand, he gnaw on it. X.X (but my watch is still fine lol)

His brother was busy digging a hole in the corner. xD

My dad was a bit indecisive, and he said he would have to think about it first. So we went back home. But after a while, he made up his mind, called the breeder and BAM - the dog was ours! 8D

So we went back later to pay for him - the one we liked. :]

Well, it was quite a close call, because after we left and before we called to book him, another family came over and looked at the puppies too. The kid's mom actually wanted the one we wanted the one we wanted, but the kid was saying that he was 'too naughty' so they took the other one. XD

YEE - I wanna name him! But I don't think my dad would take to my suggestion very favouribly... My mom told me he was thinking of 'Ciku'.

Yes, the fruit.

Yes, I know.

There's completely NO RELATION between a dog and a fruit.

See why it should be I who names him? If my dad names him, we might end up with some weird name. Even my mom's supporting me (because obviously, neither of us want to have to call the poor guy some bizzarre name in public).

And training will also be done by my dad (he claimed he's trained dogs in past, so yeah). Poor guy, he doesn't know what's coming.

Naturally, I will be the one bathing him. 8D (lol, that's gonna be messy)

Now, let's hope he won't dig up the garden...

Transformers 2
Saturday, November 14, 2009 9:57 PM
Finally watched it yesterday (hee, behind time...). And I'm gonna ramble about it! :D

The special effects are completely awesome!!! 8DD (if I didn't already aspire to be a mangaka, I might have tried out CG animation)

Oh, and I'm still a fan of Bumblebee :] (all right, now my dream car is Camaro!)

And this, is my ultimate favourite scene from the movie:

Bumblebee: Your cheating heart~ ♪

And also, I'm gonna try and draw MECHA PEOPLE!! 8D (okay, that sounded retarded, even to me)

Now that I'm through, this post was actually a waste of your time, ne? >8DDDDDD
