Dancing Queen

I bought the soundtrack album of Mamma Mia!

And they sell it a tad cheaper in Popular Bookstore. Instead of Rm29.90, it was sold for Rm23.90.

And at first we didn't question why, because well, who cares, when you got the soundtrack with all 17 songs in it!

But then when we reached home, we (actually, I) found out why. It was a Malaysian Edition. A MALAYSIAN EDITION!

How stupid was I not to see the label on the front cover of the CD?!

Though there were the main 17 songs, the little songs like "Chiquitita" were missing.

(Maybe you have no idea what I'm talking about but nevermind).

Yes, now we know the reason for the cheaper price.

Stupid.

Stupid stupid stupid stupid!!!!!

*curses*

I'd much rather have the original NON-Malaysian edition!

Peanut Butter And Cheese

My poor sister. She came down with a fever last night and didn't go to school today.

She slept the whole day through and she was still wearing her sleeping gown when I came home from school.

And speaking of school, I went to the Taylor's College Sri Hartamas Campus for my after-PMR activity today.

It was labelled The Amazing Race when we signed up for it, but now I don't feel anything amazing about it. Except that my sneakers made an amazingly loud noise when I was running though the college campus looking for the Explorace answers.

They made us sit down in one of the lecture halls when we came in and we spent our next 2 hours there learning about Taylor's College and What To Expect In Form 4 and playing Think-Go (It's something like Bingo, but with a little more twisted sense of fun).

So yeah. And when the Race came, all we did was spent half an hour going around looking for answers to the Taylor's University College's questions.

Arrrgh. Not up to my expectations.

And though Agnes said that whoever won the Race would get money, the winning team did not. In fact, they got a stress-reliever in the shape of a star and a notebook.

Well nevermind, I bet Petrosains would be a lot more fun. And I can bring a camera and take pictures too! :)

And That's Why I Wear Spectacles

Oh, I just realised that I have 9 books to read. Nine.

Let's list them out in proper order, shall we?

1. Lipstick Jungle- a book which is definitely not suitable for kids.
2. The Alchemyst: The Secrets Of The Immortal Nicholas Flamel- it seemed like a very good book, so I just bought it anyway.
3. The Chronicles Of Narnia- All of the 7 books. I haven't really read the whole chronicle, and I've always admired the greatness of CS Lewis as an infamous author, so I'm determined to finish reading his creations of Narnia.

And seeing as that I'm not into a reading mood these few days (and instead spend my days sitting in front of the TV and going online), I have to say I've turned into an extremely slow reader, which BY THE WAY, is not a good thing.

AAAAAAND, I really wish to read JRR Tolkien's Lord of The Rings triology, because people- those are the greatest books in history and should never be missed an opportunity to read (I bought the first book years and years ago but I think the english was a little too advanced for me to understand back then, so yeah).

Oh, A Tag!

Oh, I got tagged by Amanda. So alrighty then, I'll do the tag. :)

What do you like about number 3?

I admire her sports spirit. I mean, she's good in basketball and the only thing I can do is swim and play squash and a little badminton.

-End of Tag-

Thank you people!

Gimme Gimme Gimme

I watched Mamma Mia yesterday (finally!) with my mom.

And after watching this, I am sad to say that all the High School Musicals are pretty much nothing compared to this musical, because this has to be the best musical I've ever watched (I just have this thing for musicals).

Every character in the movie is so lively and jumpy and bouncy and carefree they sing like they have nothing to worry about.

And that's how life should be about! We should all be happy, smile always and sing all our troubles out!

It's definitely a trip down the aisle I'll never forget! :D

And mom has promised she'll buy the Mamma Mia Soundtrack because the downloaded version isn't as nice as the original one (Well duh!).

Oh and the salty popcorn in GSC isn't even salty at all! Wth.

It tasted a bit like caramel but not exactly caramel either.

I'd much rather have the corn in a cup or the mash potato.

Oh, that reminds me, I went to Wh yesterday and I found this really cute yellow top with the words "girls rule" written on it. It's a really nice and simple top and its 40 bucks (it would've been more expensive but it was on sale, so yeah).

And I didn't bring money, and no matter how much I begged my mom to buy it for me, she wouldn't!

Darn, I knew I should've persuaded mom to buy that blouse of hers, then maybe she'll buy the top for me seeing as she got something for herself as well.

Sad, real sad.

And also, I think I've found the perfect purse!

God, I really must go shopping with mom more often, because I can somehow find my wanted things when I'm shopping with her! :)

Through The Looking Glass

I've been nagging at my dad to get the Maxis Family Value Package since...forever. And my dad said he won't get it until my sister finishes her school final exam.

And she finally has! Finished her exam I mean.

And to get the Family Value Package you need to have every family members' numbers under one main line, and so...I had to terminate my old number and register for a new one. Today! :D

And my sister got one too!

And just in case I forgot to inform anyone, my new number is: 012-xxxxxxx (because someone said its dangerous to post my number on my blog).

And DON'T message or call me at 017-6278500 because I don't think you'll be able to get through to it. It's already terminated.

And thus ends my boring post and my boring day and my boring everything.

Except that I get 1500 free sms-es between family members and can sms my sister to get me anything everyday! :D

Flattened

Okay, wow.

I really don't know how to start with this. Umm, let's just start with 3 simple words: I. Am. Tired.

Physically tired but mentally energetic.

I originally thought yesterday ended with the Sunway College Teambuilding Workshop but then I guess I was wrong.

Carmen IMed me and asked me if I wanted to go watch the High School Musical 3 premiere yesterday night with Jing Hui and Zi Ling.

And somehow, just somehow, I said yes excitedly (since I didn't really like High School Musical 2 and I got a bit bored with High School Musical 1). So I asked my mom and she agreed to let me go watch the movie at 9pm.

But just before my mom fetched me to Cineplex Damansara she started complaining about how she regretted allowing me to go off to watch a movie that late during the night and how I will stand in the dark awaiting her to fetch me home after the movie and that it's SO dangerous she should have NEVER said yes to watching the movie in the first place.

But ah well, she fetched me there anyway and she fetched me back. (Thanks, mommy. :) )

And, I actually enjoyed High School Musical 3! I mean, I loved all the songs but I suspected that they cut off some scenes from the original movie (like how Disney Channel Asia cut off this whole singing scene in HSM2) but it was still nice. :)

So, here's to thanking Jing Hui, who won free tickets from Hitz.FM, Zi Ling who pointed out the cute little sauces lined up on a shelf in Bubba Gump Shrimp Restaurant and Carmen who kept giggling during the movie and who panicked when her phone suddenly rang in the middle of the movie.

So I slept for 6 hours last night, woke up at 6.30, skipped breakfast, dressed and hurried to my uncle's van at 6.40. I got the school magazine (sweet!) and went to Beryl's Chocolate Factory, bought RM44 worth of chocolates (bittersweet, tiramisu, tiramisu, bittersweet, bitter and black chocolate with blueberry filling). Then I went to the Ed Board AGM and had pizza and fries for lunch. And my mom couldn't fetch me home after that so I went to Pei's Sunway house and stayed there until 4 and my mom came to fetch me and I went with her to 1U to pick up my newly fixed guitar and to buy a guitar tuner.

So I FINALLY reached home after that and bathed and started to tune my guitar, only to find out my teacher cancelled my class today because he couldn't make it so I stayed at home and watched F.R.I.E.N.D.S and then my mom came home from her piano class and she brought with her my sister's new guitar which looks nicer than mine but the guy from the music centre said mine was a VERY good guitar so my tune sounds a bit different than other guitars (YAY, I'M SPECIAL!) and so yeah.

I don't care if you don't understand what I'm talking about, and I don't give a damn.

This is my blog. So deal with it.

Stepping Sticks

My legs feel sore. And my muscles hurt. It feels like someone has just made me run five miles without stopping. Or maybe I was just exaggerating. But my legs really do hurt.

On the contrary, my hands feel fine. And its a miracle that it is because I've just came back from attending this teambuilding workshop in Sunway College and one of the activities was to form a bridge with only sticks and helping your team members get across to the other side by letting them step on the sticks because their feet isn't supposed to touch the ground.

Did I mention that at least 4 pairs of people were holding the sticks in their arms as a support for the team member to walk across? And after being the support for 8 people to walk across my palms were as red as beetroot when the activity was finished.

Anyway its really hard to explain.

And then there's the indoor activity, which the whole team is supposed to squeeze into this tiny mat given to us, and see which team can stay the longest on the mat without any part of our body touching the floor or going out of the mat.

So there was a lot of squeezing, hugging, piggy-backing and shoulder-carrying. (=_____=)

And in the end my legs hurt because of the stick-carrying. You have no idea how heavy people can be.

10 promises

'10 Promises to My Dog' is probably the most emotional Japanese inu movie that I have watched.

This was the actually the first time I had to turn away from screen to try to soften my sniffing and I had to get 2 tissues from my mom and had a blocked nose.

No people, I'm not crazy or over-emotional, I'm just touched.

Let me just tell you that this movie is so touching that even non-dog lovers will cry their hearts out and will instantly go adopt a Golden Retriever after watching the movie.

Heck, even my DAD shed a tear. And if you watched the whole movie with your expression as blank as...a white piece of paper you are the most heart-less and most emotionless person I know.

I mean, to watch a movie about the loyalty of a dog and not cry!

What kind of a robot are you?? *narrows eyes and glares*

I would've dearly loved to go into detail about the movie but for the sake of my life (because I know that Pei will kill me if she found out about the detailed story plot) but people, GO WATCH.

And LOVE DOGS! <3

Too Much In Detail

I'm saying "oh my god" to 4 things, and you'll soon find out why:

Day Five, aka The Last Day aka We Don't Have To Study Anymore

Exam Subjects: Geography

OMG (that's one), Geo was crap. I mean, it was OKAY but at the same time it still stunk. I hate maps. And I suck at reading maps. And memorising places. And that's what Geo's all about. But I made it through. I survived!!

So after the exam, Pei rushed down from her Examination Classroom and practically dragged me to the bus stop. And so I recollected myself, tried to push crappy Geo out of my mind for a while, and then it hit me. OMG (that's two), PMR's OVER! IT'S OVER! HAH!

And so me, Pei, Michelle, JesCee and Mindy all took the bus to MidValley and decided to change there rather than change in school; Agnes, Mel, YuenXin and Ziling changed in school and managed to get out of school in good pieces without being yelled at Pn Susan (I think). We actually went to the arcade after lunch and got addicted to this racing video game (=.=), until Mel came and told us strictly that we had to get to the movies NOW if we still want to catch our show.

We watched The House Bunny, and then each headed off for shopping/the bookshop.

And so far, I've bought these nice purple bangles, a lucky star charm for my cellphone, tried to look for my purse, watched as Michelle camwhored a lot of times, ate Expresso 'N' Cream Baskin Robbins ice-cream and went to F.O.S and bought this pretty green/white blouse.

Aaand then it was time to go home. But it was RAINING (duh it rains every afternoon this month, without fail) and we couldn't hail a cab so we took the bus and took the LRT back home.

And after that OMG (that's three), I went to my guitar class and somehow in the car the neck of my guitar broke. It BROKE. And it was a SPANISH CLASSICAL, DAMNIT!

So my teacher suggested I take it back to the guitar shop from where I purchased the guitar and asked the people there to see if they can fix it. But I think it has to be shipped out and god-knows how long that will take.

Oh, right. There's only 3 OMGs. I definitely had 4 in mind when I wanted to blog this.

Nevermind.

Revived and Shocked

Let's continue on our countdown to freedom:

Day Four

Exam Subjects: Living Skills; Chinese Paper One and Two

Living Skills was fine. And as far as I've heard, you don't have to study much for that paper, because all you need is 35/60 marks to get an A. But nevertheless, I still did do a bit of studying, and the closed paper didn't turn out to be quite so bad after all. :)

Chinese Paper Two came first (surprisingly), and it wasn't all THAT hard. I did manage to finish all my questions and rechecked everything, and so far I reckon I haven't failed anything. :/

Chinese Paper One was....rather OK. I managed to finish all my questions and by the time I finished checking I had 5 minutes to spare. So that was very well planned indeed.

And when I reached home, I found out that just this afternoon, my mom was robbed. Right in front of my house!

And the worst thing was, one of them had a knife with him. When my mom saw this, she threw her bag at the robbers (because she obviously didn't want to get hurt, duh) and they went off. The car keys were safe, and so were the house keys, because the car keys dropped into the drain at the time (and my kakak went to pick it up) and my mom had the house keys with her, so yeah.

My mom just went off to make a police report, and she didn't get hurt or anything (thank god!).

But everything else was gone. And when I meant everything, I meant her purse, her money, her IC, her driving's lisense, her credit cards and all.

It sucks.

Counting Down

PMR didn't exactly feel like PMR, and here's how my last few days went:

Day Before Exam

Exam subjects tomorrow: Malay, Paper One and Two

I was feeling fine with those two subjects, and I made this clever decision to read the malay novel stuff on the very day before the exam. And that's where I started to panic, when I realised how many things I had to memorise and how little time I have. Plus, I have to revise a bit on my tatabahasa, and read a bit of model karangans.

In the end, I spent the whole night reading novel and memorising the stupid binaan plot, since everyone said it would come out.

Day One

Exam subjects: Malay, Paper One and Two

In the van on the way to school, I was reading the model karangans on masalah discipline and sukan, since according to tips, those were the things that were bound to come out.

In school, I got so nervous that I was actually shaking. Yes, shaking. I didn't feel shaky at all, so imagine my surprise when I found out that my right hand was quivering when I fiddled for my 2B pencil.

After recess, I recapped everything on novel and ignored karangan completely. And when I got the question paper for Paper 2, I was horrified when I found out nothing from what I read from the tips came out. NONE at all. (bloody, stupid tips)

But I still did fine, and I have to declare that I'm rather proud of myself. :)

Day Two

Exam Subjects: English, Paper One and Two; Science, Paper One and Two

In the van, I took out my Science to read, and I spent the whole morning reading the chapter on Reproduction, since it must be the longest-chapter-ever and I had a feeling it was going to come out in the exams.

English was fine, that's nothing to talk about. *cheeky grin*

During lunch, I continued my studying on Reproduction, when this HUGE WASP came buzzing about, and it was also carrying a BIG FAT GREEN CATERPILLAR. So all the girls' in the girls' canteen sitting near the wasp were all dodging here and there. And when Pei came back from buying her ice-cream (she wasn't there when the wasp was there), we told her about the wasp, and she got so freaked out she screamed at this tiny little bug which flew at her face. *grin*

In the end the wasp came back, but the caterpillar was gone (it probably ate it. Ewwww.) and Pei started screaming and Michelle was pushing JesCee to get out of the way to safety. XD

Science was fine. I managed to finish all the questions, considering how many people nearly missed and some missed the last two questions of Science Paper Two. Ow.

And btw, NOTHING came out from Reproduction, except for this sterility part. But everyone knows that, that's common sense. Wth.

Day Three (Today)

Exam Subjects: Math, Paper One and Two; History

As usual, I was studying in the van. I had spent the whole last night reading Form 2 of History, since I never ever do read Form 2, and was continuing to read Form 2 today, until after lunch.

Math was fine, but I had one careless mistake for Paper One, and let me tell you that that was a very ridiculously easy question and I shouldn't have even made a single mistake.

After lunch (which I ate 'nasi lemak' and it wasn't even that tasty), me, Agnes and YuenXin headed up to the Prefect Bridge and we were planning to sit there studying until we had to go in our rexpective Examination Classrooms. But then this teacher came and told us off for sitting too close to the Examination Classrooms, so we headed down to the Pondok to study (surprisingly nice and silent there) for 1 hour and yet History still SUCKED. Big time.

Darn.

I'm Fine. Really, I Am.

I am bored. Sick and bored of blogging about PMR. About how I'm not prepared and that I am doomed to die any second in the middle of the Big Exam.

Instead, I'm not feeling all the panicky anymore.
I actually feel fine about the Big Exam. I mean, yeah sure, I'm not prepared but I'm not nervous or anything about it. In fact, I feel all normal.

I mean, heck, you can still see me coming online and watching Grey's Anatomy everyday on TV. And if I were any nervous I'd take a whole cup of water and splash it on my dog whenever she starts yelping and scratching to get into the house, but instead, I'm still using the miniature syringe to spray at her.
And she usually ignore the spraying, unless I get too high and doesn't stop spraying, then she'll start to yelp and snap at the water.
Ah well. :)

Oh yeah, I watched the first episode of Ugly Betty Season 3. And it's sad that Betty didn't choose Gio, or Henry. Hmm.
And reading PeiShe's blog, it reminded me that Season 2 of Gossip Girl is already out, and that I'm supposed to go to her house to watch it because I'm lazy to download it and that it gives me a good reason to go to her house in Kemuning. :)

I Miss You and You Know I Do

I'm just bored.

This so called "holiday" couldn't be any worse.
Not only have I been stuck at home all day long ever since Friday afternoon, I haven't even been studying as much as I was supposed to.

I mean, yeah, I did do some workbook exercises for History, but that didn't help much.
I didn't score anything above 70, which is pretty OK to me, I guess.
But there's still space for improvement, as usual.

Right, well. Either studying has made me more observant, or it's just me imagining.
Ever since the little kitten came to stay, there have been cats wondering around my front yard.
There's at least 3, and they fight almost every night.
You can hear them spiting at each other and mewing loudly. And I mean LOUDLY.

And there's this big tom cat -white with black spots- it isn't scared of anything.
My dog has been barking at it ever since she saw it, and it acted like it didn't even see her!
What kind of cat could be this fearless as to ignore a mad barking dog?!
I mean, wow, that is ONE kind of cat.
And all cats scarpered at the sight of my dog.

Did I mention that Season 3 of Ugly Betty is here? And so is Season 5 of Grey's Anatomy and Season 3 of Heroes!!
