Dedicated to you

Alright, so the world didn't end in 2012 (as expected) despite the whole doomsday hooh-ha, and now it's time to blog about my year. Well honestly, 2012 passed by in such a flash that I didn't really get to enjoy my last year in high school as much as I wanted to. All I remember about this whole year was that i was busy, REALLY BUSY, and I feel as if the calendar should be showing March/April right now, instead of Dec 31st.

I cant agree more that time really flies. Tomorrow I'll be moving down to kl for a fresh new start in college. Though I'm excited, all packed, and ready to go, I can't deny that I'll miss my family hell lots. I'll miss having family breakfasts/dinners, random family outings when dad is in a good mood. I'll miss my cat sleeping on my lap,accompanying me when i study late into the night, I'll miss the good food my mum always makes. I'll even miss my brother's rambling nonsense whenever he decides to go all philosophical on me. I'll miss everything :'(

And of course, I'll miss you.
Who knew that, when fate brought us together 18 months ago, that you'd be so important to me?  All the memories we've made, all the good times that we've shared: the late-night phone calls, countless outings and movies, making tangyuan at my house, the paper SMSes, the encouraging letters, etc etc, I'll keep in my heart forever. Thank you for always being there for me, my rock to lean on. You're the one that keeps me going whenever I feel like giving up. Whenever I'm feeling down, you're there to offer me comfort. Thank you for believing in me when the whole world turned it's back on me. Thank you for giving me the courage to dream, and for showing me that dreams really do come true when you work for them. Thanks for all the love and support all this time. You are such a wonderful, amazing person, dont let people tell you otherwise. Getting to know you, and becoming your friend is a privelege and an experience I will never forget. Although we'll now be going our separate ways, I'll never, ever forget all the times I've had with you. Remember that wherever you go, or wherever I'll be, I'll always be there for you. I'll be anything that you need me to be. You'll be in my heart forever. Thankyou. I love you.

:)
Gonna continue counting down to the new year now! Bye peeps!
Have a happy new year and a wonderful 2013!!

Ciao
:D

It's all the little things

HEYLO FROM SINGAPORE PEEPS! Just a quick one here.

So I'm in Singapore now. Dad drove down from kl yesterday cuz my bro has some squash tournament there. Staying at my uncle's apartment on Alexandra Road with my horrible, horrible, least favourite cousin EVER, who throws random fits and tantrums whenever we do anything that crosses her line. (I really hope she doesn't see this lollol). Anyway, when we were passing through Johor yesterday, we passed the Johor Premium Outlet, the where one princess Katherine hosted the opening cerominy (well,I think she did XD) you know, the ones with lots of posh, high street brands you don't find in most shopping centers in Ipoh. So dad said why not go have a look. Turns out to be the biggest mistake ever.

The first shop we went into was Armani. The sign on the door claimed that there was a 90% sale, so we thought, why not? But the prices there......3000 for tank top? I mean come on, a primary school teacher's monthly paycheque just for that little slip of cloth? And the quality aint that great either. i dont think so:/ I've seriously never been able to understand why people pay so much for so-called "branded stuff". Does it make you somehow richer or more respected in the society? Does it make you feel better? Ok well maybe it does to some people, but most people wouldn't know that you're wearing a 3000 dollar dress anyway. Most wont even care, as long as you look respectable and presentable. No offense to those who enjoy branded stuff though. I just think that we can do so much more constructive things with the money, say donate it to the homeless or stg, instead of putting it straight into the pocket of the franchise owner who probably has a billion bucks anyway. It's not that I don't buy expensive clothes. It's just that I believe in paying for my money's worth:)

So after that we went to visit my mums sister at her shop in ulu tiram, JB. Sat and read like nobody's business in the middle of the shop cuz the last Percy Jackson book was so epic. Hahaha. I'm kind sad the series has come to an end, though. Never thought I'd enjoy the series this much when I started then 2 years ago. XD

Reached Singapore at 10 last night and crashed into bed. Slept till 7 this morning and was woken up by my awesome cousin who dragged us to go swimming. D: gah. Anywy I beat my sis at swimming today! Which IS a big deal, cuz she goes for hardcore training (DBI at 5am everyday) and I don't. Well, I USED to, 7 years ago, but whatever. Point is, I BEAT HER. Yayyyyy! ;D

Queensway for shopping, which is right next to my uncle's apartment. Mum went crazy at the sight of all the sportswear =_= had to wait for her like aunsxjiwljahdqlmzns long cuz she was so hyper lollol. Bought a black lace dress at a random boutique there. By the time we it out, it was drizzling, so we decided to get home quick. But halfway, it turned ino a full-blown storm without warning wtf. Got drenched to the bone, sneezing like anything. But it was fun :D it's been so long since I last ran in the rain:) subway for lunch, and we returned to the apartment to sleep and laze around. Wheeeee.

Which is now. Hehehe. Gonna prepare for dinner. Ciao peeps! ;D

First post-spm week!

So as you all know, ess-peeee-em ended this Monday. Wait. It was THIS Monday? O.o Dayum, it feels so long ago already! Time really flies. College in less than 3 weeks yo! Super hyped up, as i said in my last post. but at the same time i kinda want more holidays. Contradicting much? D: Anywayyyyys. Gonna blog about my first post-spm week, or as guava calls it, 'this week's EPIC ADVENTURES'. HAHAHAH. ;D

 Sooo. On MONDAY, Guava and Gideon fetched me from school after the Chinese paper. Have to admit, guava's driving is not bad! Wheeeeee. Guava if you're reading this dont be too self-loving kayyy! :P:P:P Went to RPGC to bathe. Poor Gideon had to use the public washroom cuz he wasnt a member. Sorry yo! D: Watched Life of Pi, which wasn't as bad as everyone says. Not many people know how to appreciate it and i think that's why i kinda like that movie ;DD Sushi King for lunch before the movie, and ended up missing half an hour of the movie cuz the service at Sushi King is terrible shit. I'll never understand WHY guava is still an avid sushi king fan. =.= Planned to go for BR after the movie but we changed our minds and went to The Coffee Bean instead for hot vanilla. The reason? Cuz our hands were freezing after the 2 and half hour movie and none of us wanted to risk frost bite by having ice cream again. HAHAHAHA. Took ugleh photos at coffee bean. HAHAHA.

Normal one xD

Ugleh photo #1! Forced Gideon to do ugleh faces wheeeeeee! 

I

LOL at this! The three of us look epic here LOLLL! ;D

Anyway Guava left his phone in Sushi King (which he didnt realize till AFTER THE MOVIE, ==). We didnt know where he left it so we went to the cinema and barged into the theater like a boss with torchlights while the movie was showing (accompanied by the workers, of course;P) to search for his phone, only to fail immensely. So we went back to his car cuz guava was thinking MAYBE he left it in his car, WHICH HE DIDNT. =.= THEN we went back to Sushi King. Thank God it was there. My legs were breaking already D:  Guava fetched me home, and promptly got lost on the way back. HAHAHAHA .

Went to kay-ell on TUESDAY with the family to do my brother's Visa for next year! Went to the Australian high comm then went to One U to shop. Got office/formal wear for college next year! I shall skip the rest of the day cuz it was god-damned boring :|

THURSDAY was well, EPIC. :D Played badminton with Dominic and mommeh at ISC in the afternoon. Asshole was so good that I felt so damn paiseh playing with him after that, especially i saw him play with mommeh. Wth. Ah Pek if you're reading this (and i know you WILL), MOMMEH KEEPS ASKING ME JIO YOU PLAY WITH HER. ZZZZZ whats you people's problem yo. =.= Saw guava, faith and lime when we were leaving. Apparently, they went just to bump into me, which really made Dom LOL. Went for Rise of the Guardians after that. It was awesome! The characters were so cute and adorable and the story was quite touching. It really made me believe :) Sushi Zento after the movie, which was quite pricey. D: Thanks for belanja-ing yo! ;D 

Super ugly pic of me and my driver of the day! :D

So we sat and talked in Sushi Zento for quite some time, totally oblivious to the fact that people were waiting outside and throwing us spiteful glances HAHAHAHA. Whatever, it's not like we're gonna see them again anyway :P Finally got bored of the place and left. Then we had no idea where to go =.=  so we just parked somewhere and sat there brainstorming where to go next HAHAHAHA. In the end, we decided on.......GIANT. HAHAHHAA. Damn random i know, but that's the fun of it! ;D Walked around for quite some time, and even strolled in the supermarket LOLLL. Absolutely the first time i went into a supermarket with a friend. SO RANDOM! ;D Then even more randomly, we decided to go for boh eight tea. Shared a drink there and chatted some more and he sent me home cuz mah parents were out. Wheeeeee. Definitely the most random day of my life hahahha. 

Then photoshoot on FRIDAY wheeeeee! Thanks to my super talented friend Khai Jeng whom i bugged for a photoshoot XD We actually planned for me to go for the wild and sexy and rebellious look. you know, with construction sites, red brick walls and yellow police tapes as backgrounds, but failed immensely cuz it was raining crazy everywhere and we couldnt go anyplace outdoors. So we ended up doing this post-rain photoshoot at RPGC. Not my first choice as a photoshoot site, but cuz khaijeng is so awesome (i swear she makes anything work), it actually turned out quite okay. :))))))) Just ignore my terrible horrible make-up and huge eyebags, and focus on the angle and lightings :D

So. SATURDAY. LASER BATTLE YO! (alright this post is getting reallyyyy long, but whatever xD) Went with guava, gideon, jinxian, jinwei, winsoon and clement! Wheeeeee. This is really sad, but I SUCK AT LASER BATTLE. BIG TIME. D: Got my ass kicked by everyone, even lycheh D:  Gideon and Jinxian kept on shooting me. Especially Gideon! He'll hold you so you cant move and shoot you a few more times to get points. Boooo you, Gideon D: Went for, yep, Sushi King YET AGAIN after laser battle, suggestion courtesy of guava. What's the big deal about sushi king, guava?! =.= 

Which brings me to today, SUNDAY. Spent most of the day at home reading Percy Jackon :D I actually bought the whole series for rm25! That's rm5 per book! Such a bargain i couldnt help buying them all hahaha. But the condition of the book.....you know i know lah. Doesnt really matter to me cuz i'll only be reading them once XD 

Went for gym with Dominic this afternoon. My personal trainer hohoho. He put me through a friggin workout which he claims is 'just a warmup'. Wth. I dont dare imagine his 'workout' will be like D: My arms feel like jelly now gah and i hate to imagine what i'll be feeling tmr :( Anyway, as he says, 'no pain no gain' :D imma presevere till my 'wings' on my triceps are gone. HAHAHA. Wanted to go for jacuzzi also but the genius didnt have a swimsuit. Gah spoilsport D: Anyway thanks k dominic! Waiting for the next session xD 

Which brings me..here. Right now. Typing this post. I guess this post is the longest one yet for this year. HAHAHA. My arms are killing me right now, so i'll just stop here. Till next time, peeps! 

Ciao :D

Breathe in, breathe out, and ignore the butterflies

Hey guys! I know this post is wayyy overdue, but I've just been so busy! Busy with my post-spm activities, of course! I love the feeling of being totally free of any responsibilities, being able to do anything i want without feeling guilty, and most of all, being able to laze at home with a good book without a worry in the world :DD It's been so long since I last read a novel (mum refuses to buy books for me cuz she worries that i'll abandon my studies. wth.) so i went on a book spree straight after exams. Used almost rm150 on books in two days! And that just the books in Ipoh! Going to the Big Bad Wolf Sale in The Mines next week wheeeeee! I guess I'll have enough books to last me for the rest of the new year after I'm done with that sale :P

Anyway, back to business. SPM was... okay, i guess? Just keeping my fingers crossed for 9As (no hope for Chinese as usual hahaha) To tell the truth, I'm not that worried about my results anymore, even much less when March comes around. By that time, I'll be burying my head in books and studying my ass off (I hope) and i wont be bothered by that little slip of paper anymore. That chapter of my life has ended and has been sealed off, for good. So pumped up for college now! Can't wait to meet new people and start my life afresh at my new school, MCKL. For those of you who dont know, MCKL is this small but cozy college in Brickfields which produces students with kick-ass results :P

thats the best picture i can find. XD 

And and, guess what? I PASSED BOTH MY GRADE 8 CELLO AND PIANO THIS YEAR! Wheeeeee yay me! Only got a pass for cello cuz the examiner was freaking strict, but I'm satisfied! Best thing is, I got honors for piano! Different exam board with a much more lenient examiner of course, but still, WHEEEEEEE!;D Reason I'm so effing happy is cuz my piano exam was smack bang right in the middle of SPM. It was like, piano exam on Saturday, then bio and chemistry papers on Monday and Tuesday. I was like, WTF when i first knew the date, but now i'd say i wouldnt pick another date to take the exam. It really motivated me to work hard for both the papers in advance cuz THERE'S SO MUCH TO STUDY @.@ And i started practicing hard like 2 months before the exam. Hahahahahha. YAY! ;D

Okay, it's late and i should go sleep now. Will blog about my epic hangouts tomorrow cuz guava wanted me to blog about them. Hoho.

Goodnight peeps! ;)

Technically, I'm backstabbing myself by being your friend.

Selective seeing is awesome. It never fails to amaze me how people can choose to see something that they want to see, or just simply close an eye towards those that they do not.

You really won't have any idea what you've put me through these past few years. Everything you do, you have another motive behind it, and often, it's a selfish one, one that only benefits yourself. Time and time again, youve made this point clear. Last time, i was innocent enough to trust you, even after everything you've done. Well, this time I chose to grow up. I chose not to be pushed round by you anymore. I chose to live my life the way I like it. I chose to be myself. If your definition of friendship is doing everything the same way you do, following you everywhere, thinking alike you, getting the same results as you, mixing with your group of friends, then I'm sorry. I'd rather forfeit this friendship.

Do you really think that all good things don't come with a price? Are you really that naive? Yes, I worked really hard to achieve a just-average result, but I'm not ashamed of it. Just assume that I'm stupid, and I need to work extra-hard to get the results I want. At least i tried. At least i made an effort. It's better than not trying at all, totally giving up, and just sitting around and making empty wishes about getting good results. It shows that you don't give a shit about anything, that you don't even care. Saying
I've changed won't make me change the way things are now. It only highlights the contrast between our current personalities. Call me stuck up if you like, but I think I've changed for the better. Frankly, im kind of relieved that things are the way they are now, and i wouldn't do a thing to change it.

Reality sucks.

Hey guys. Blogging from my phone again. Just wanted to write, hahaha cuz I dont really have anything to blog about.. Well, actually i do.

Cello exam's this Friday. THANK GOD I got a professional pianist. I really owe her since she's been teaching me how to interpret my pieces, and helping with all the dynamics and stuff (except for my Bach suite, of course) , something my cello teacher NEVER teaches, and I've improved so much since last week. I am so blessed I found her:) and oddly enough, I'm feeling good about this exam. No idea what score I'll get though, and no hopes for a distinction whatsoever. I guess I'll just see how everything goes on that day:) keep your fingers crossed for me! Xxx

Reality check: trials are almost two months away. Seems like a long time, but it'll pass in the blink of an eye. My exam results this time showed improvement, but that's no reason for me to slack down. All the more to show that I'm actually on the right track. I guess I'll work my ass off for trials, with mum nagging behind..sigh. Good luck to me :/

Well its 11. Off to bed! Heh goodnight, peeps!

Holidays.

Well hello peeps! Just trying out the app on my phone hahahaha. Time really flies. Two weeks of holidays are almost over:(:(:( I want one more week of holidays! Don't feel like going to school and facing my crappy results. Don't feel like doing my homework. Don't feel like sitting for trials or cello exam or theory exam or whatever blardy exams I'm taking this year. Can time just stop now please? :(

Anyway our last competition as a member of the Chinese orchestra was last week. 在比赛的过程中，我真的有很大的感触. It's our very last time together on stage. Every drop of sweat, every amount of energy that we have put into CO during all these years has finally come to an end. Even though we complain frequently about the long practice hours, the teachers, the whole system of the club in general, all of us form 5 members admit that we are going to miss CO. We will miss the long practice hours, the times we gepo in the classroom in the afternoon, the times we had dapao lunch together, and mostly the bonds we have formed between us members. CO really has taught us alot, and it has seen us grown. It may not have gave us wings to fly, but at least it taught us to walk and run. It will always have a special place in our hearts. AMCCO rocks!

Just because you cant see something doesnt mean it doesnt exist. That's what faith is

No CO today! Such a nice surprise break for us all hahahaha. Apparently our school's hosting the zone netball competition and the school didnt want us students to go inside messing everything up, so they canceled co-curriculum for today. Yay! :) And i found out that i havent been updating my blog for quite some time, so yeah, updateeeeee nowwwwwwe! :D

Hmmmm schools okay, i guess. 6 more weeks till the mid-years omg! i cant believe this, but im actually nervous and counting down the days already :/ This is what being a form five student turns us all into -dull and lifeless bookworms ._.

Oh, and speaking of books, i finished The Hunger Games! Finished them in 4 days yay me! My reading speed has decreased cuz i havent been reading for sooooo looooong but anyway the books were awesome! Lots of thanks to Yijia for lending the books to me! And i actually have to kind of agree with everbody about Peeta. I dont care if he's fat or ugly in the movies. I love him. His love for Katniss and the way he lost control but still hung on cuz of her in the last book really tore me apart. :( Anyway it's an awesome awesome series, and if you havent read it, go read it. NOW.

You wont regret, i promise :)

On a brighter note, i went to the new AEON yesterday! lots of opening sales and discounts, and of course, people! Didnt really have the chance to look properly, so we're gonna go again tonight. ( I hope). Keeping my fingers crossed that dad will agree to go there for dinner! Hehehehe. :B

Tons of homework this week. Screw them. Gonna go do them now.

Ciao

x)

Holidays?

HAPPEEEEEEEEE MARCH HOLIDAYYYYEEEEEESSS! ;DDDD

WHEEEEEEEEE!

Right. Stop.

It's not like it's gonna be a real holiday anyway. Merciless teachers gave tons and tons of homeowork like there's no tomorrow. Homework count so far: 17, plus projects, folios, and aural tests to be completed and memorized. The teacher's will be like " Oh, since its the long holiday, i'll just give y'all a few more questions."

Imagine if 10 teachers did the same thing. O.O

CO practice, music class theory class, tuitions and of course, hangouts! Rach is back. Her house tomorrow for a birthday BBQ. Looking forward to it. it's gonna be awesomeeeeeeeeee. ;)

On top of all that, parents are away for the week in aus. I'm missing them already and they're still right behind me watching tv! :( Keeping my fingers crossed that the four of us wont starve to death while they're gone! Hehehe.

Ooooooh btw btw i wana watch HUNGER GAMES so baaaaaaadlyyyy! Never thought that i would want to read/watch it, but i waatched the trailer and read the synopsis online.. and NOW I WANA WATCH IT SO BAD! :( and i seriously needa catch up on my Vampire Diaries!!!! AHHHHH!!!!!!

This holidays is gonna be awesome! x)

Problem? Go fuck yourself, bitch.

Me gusta :D

Hello people! After 40 days, FOURTY. WHOLE. FREAKING. DAYS, my blog is alive again, like finally. Yay for me! Taking the opportunity to blog while i still have the time. Heh.

Sooooo. On the bright side, February test is history! Yayyyyy!

But on the other hand, i dont feel like i normally do after exams. There's no "wooooooosh" of relief, no 'merdeka' feel. It's like there's even more to do after exams. Presentations and aural tests coming up. Concert and mid-year in may. Cello and theory exams in august. Trials start in Septamber. It's gonna be a busy busy year :/

Have to start practicing piano like mad to audition for a new teacher. Xinlin's teacher. :O I took my grade 7 pieces out that day and TRIED to play them. gosh. it was like noodle-land. my fingers were all tied together :/ gah. have to practice lots and lots and lots :(

Well, off to teach my friend chemistry. wish me luck!

Ciao

思

时间真的过得好快好快。明天是除夕，后天就是年初一了。也许今年会是我在家度过的最后一个新年吧，真的很不舍得。不知道要等到几时我们才能像这样，一家人，团聚在一起..写着写着，不知怎么的，眼泪流了下来。

家，永远都是最温暖的。珍惜能于家人想聚的时间。朋友们，惜福吧!
