Drinking Honey

Okay so Chelsea didn't freak as I thought she would. But she sounded excited all the same. :)
Went to the concert after my guitar lesson at about 9. Met Carmen, Rachel and JesCee there, together with some of JesCee's church friends. Stood there waiting for Boys Like Girls to come on stage; Carmen and JesCee told me that the local artists performing earlier were very boring, and that I didn't miss much.
Well, that's good. Haha. :)

The Boys Like Girls concert was fun. I actually forgot to bring my camera so no pictures from the concert. :(
There were very little people at the concert, like, very very little. If you compare it to the All American Rejects concert- there would be no comparison at all. The good part about it is that everyone can stand very near to the stage, and at the same time standing with a bit of space around you. It's not at all packed and squishy, and the crowd wasn't violent like the one during AAR; I didn't even sweat at all.
However, the small number didn't bring the atmosphere down. The crowd was still very lively and noisy, just like how a crowd should be during a concert. :)

Boys Like Girls are AWESOME live. Even though I didn't know all the songs that they sang, but I still swayed and jumped along. Until I found out that I kept accidentally stepping the foot of the guy standing behind me, then I stopped dancing and just bounced up and down. Whoops. :/
I think the coolest part of the concert was when Martin Johnson (the lead singer) did a stage dive into the crowd and they crowd was carrying him around. The girl in front of me was screaming her head off when she saw him sitting on the crowd. Haha.

Well, I'm definitely downloading all of Boys Like Girls songs now. :)
And right, my voice sounds so hoarse from all the attempted cheering last night; The reason I say attempted cheering, was because actually couldn't really scream properly last night, because I had a sore throat. So I just clapped my hands and squealed a bit. And when I woke up this morning, I sounded like I ate a sandpaper the night before or something.
So yeah.
And now I'm drinking this honey drink to soothe my throat.

I wouldn't say it was the best concert ever, but it was still great. :)

Being Spontaneous!

Boys Like Girls

I cannot believe that my mum actually agreed to fetch me to catch Boys Like Girls LIVE (and for free) at the Bukit Kiara Equestrian Arena Indoor Stadium.
Today.
After my guitar lesson. :)
OMG MY MUM IS LIKE, THE BEST. :D

I'm actually not a big fan of Boys Like Girls, but since it's a free concert- WHY NOT?
My sister, on the hand, is different. She is going to freak. For all I know, she adores Boys Like Girls.
Haha I wonder how her reaction is going be like when I tell her that she gets to go to a last-minute planned concert. Whee! :)

Okay that's pretty much all I have to blog right now.
I'll be sure to bring a camera there. :)
Mwah.

NOAH PUCKERMAN. :D

So I was sick yesterday.
It started off with a few sneezes and sniffing yesterday morning, but by the time it was evening it became sneezing and sniffing every few minutes. I could barely see where I was going or what I was doing. By dinner I was so uncomfortable; I was so groggy and my eyelids were so heavy I felt like I was dying. I think I might have had a slight fever or something.

I skipped tuition yesterday, popped a pill and went to bed at about 8.15pm. A nice 10 hours sleep was all I needed, because when I woke up this morning I felt much better, albeit a few sniffs.
But as of now I feel totally fine. :)
I decided not to stay back after school to run the 5km track; another run might just send me off to popping another pill and sleeping for 10 hours again.

And now, off to watch GLEE. I have 5 more episodes before I finish season one. :)

Heavy Breathing

I could be sick. Could be. 
I've been sniffing and sneezing the whole day long in school. Plus I feel really lazy and sleepy and I didn't have the mood to do anything in class today.

Nevertheless, I still went for my 5km jog today. And I'm happy to say that there has been an improvement from the last jog, though very slight. So, thank you PeiShe and Aaron for coming on the jog today. Especially Aaron, because I know he was reluctant to come along and would've rather stayed back to play Modern Warfare 2 but you were still a gentleman to come along, so yeah. :)
And PeiShe, I'm so proud of you, because I know how tired you were and how hot the weather was and how we were all sweating like pigs but you still finished the jog and that's the spirit! :)

Anyway, I'm not sure if I should go jog tomorrow because the tiredness from the jog has finally kicked in. I still have homework to complete and tuition to go in another 1 and a half hour. VERY LAZY AH.

OH. One more thing before I end my post: GLEE.

NOAH PUCKERMAN IS AWESOME. :D

No Greater Love

This is my second post of the day. I'm getting my super-blogging mojo back. :)

So, late yesterday night I decided to watch The Notebook. And so I did. And it was GREAT.
I really loved the connection between Allie and Noah, I loved how they fell madly in love with each other when they were just teenagers and I absolutely loved how they spent their summer romance. She wasn't ashamed that he was just a Southern country boy and she was a city girl; he thought she was the most beautiful girl he had ever lay eyes on and his spontaneous activities with her just made them fall more crazily in love with one another.

And though they had to part suddenly after the summer was over, he wrote her 365 letters, one for each day of the year. She never received them, but she still waited for him for 7 years. He went crazy and frustrated when he didn't receive any replies for the letters he sent, and started working like mad to fix up the dream house he owned, and he fixed it up to be exactly like how she wanted her dream house to be. And so, when they finally met years later, they got back together, because the chemistry between them had always been there since they met as teenagers over the summer. He loved her for all his life and always thought about her and she yearned to be with him. And they stayed together for the rest of their lives.

This movie made me think about a lot of things, like whether true love can last as long as it is expected to, or whether these things just happen in movies and not in real life.
Anyway, The Notebook: :)

Somebody To Love

A few weeks ago, when the fever of Glee had just started spreading, people kept telling me how awesome the series were, how amazing and how spectacular and how jaw-dropping it would be. And they kept urging me to watch the series.

And on Wednesday night, I watched Glee for the first time on Star World. And to be honest, episode one was just a bit disappointing. After all the excited reactions from friends talking about Glee, I sort of expected Glee to be off the charts. And it wasn't until I continued watching episode two, three, four and so on did I realize that Glee REALLY was as amazing and wonderful as Gleeks say they are.
And for the record, I am totally in love with Glee. :)

Here are a few reasons why Glee is worth watching:
1. I have no idea how they do it, but they make every song sound nice. And I mean EVERY. I used to dislike the song Rehab and Mercy by Amy Winehouse and Duffy, but the remix that they sang on Glee just blew me away.
2. It is SO MUCH BETTER than High School Musical. After watching Glee, you won't even remember how Troy and Gabriella sound like.
3. Villains in the series are not typical slutty cheerleaders but evil, funny cheerleading coaches like Sue Sylvester.
4. Noah Puckerman is so darn HOT. And everyone loves Puck.
5. The show keeps getting better and better with every episode. Seriously.
6. The whole of William McKinley High School doesn't go beserk and lose their heads even after the two most popular kids in school are in the Glee Club (which is pretty much the bottom of the social level in high school).
7. They beat 30 Rock in the Golden Globes Award. 30 ROCK. So you see how good Glee is?

Okay that's pretty much all I can come up with. Just, go watch Glee. :D

Daydreams. :)

Saturday and school just don't match.
I mean, who likes to go to school on a Saturday? To go to school on a weekend and listen to teachers who, like us students, wish they could just spend their Saturdays sleeping in and taking a break from school.
But I guess today wasn't as boring as it could've been. :)

Woke up earlier than usual today and went to school. During assembly I knocked over my Sigg bottle and it got a scratch. :/ Dragged myself to Chemistry Lab and had a lot of fun pouring chemicals and seeing the results (the Brown Ring was just supa cool). Drew graphs during Math and wrote one quarter of an essay in BM. Sat down in a group during Civic and had a discussion about our Civic project (we decided to raise funds by selling cookies and cacti).

After school it took me one hour to get home instead of the usual 20 minute drive from school to home because of the stupid stupid traffic jam. After reaching home I went out for tuition again in a mere 45 minutes. Learnt more about Linear Law in Add. Math tuition and drew more graphs. Found out that we'll be learning about Integration (the reverse of Differentiation) in the next chapter of Add Math when I'm still having a little trouble coping with Differentiation, but I'm pretty sure I'll manage, because I have to, because if I don't I'll die this year. Literally.

And after 2 hours of tuition I came home and here I am, blogging about my day. And now that I'm done blogging I CAN GO WATCH GLEE YES WHEE! :D

Specifically,

This afternoon, I am proud to say, that even the blazing sun failed to destroy the will of Rachel Ho (that's me, just in case you didn't know that you dumbo), Lee Pei She, Michelle Anne Leong, Nicholas Lim and Leong Chi Han to jalk the cross-country track as practice for the real cross-country day run.

And even though we missed a turn (or was it a couple of turns), and we had to jalk the wrong way back to school, we still managed to finish our, um, challenge of jalking 5km. :)
So yes, even though we were all panting and trying to expand our lungs to let more oxygen flow through our brain so that we wouldn't just keel over suddenly or whatever, we still had fun. RIGHT?

So yeah. I don't care what you guys say, I'm pulling you for another round of jalking next week.
You guys are awesome. :D

Feeling Goofy On A Maunday

So the Editorial Board got a new computer today.
You should've seen the look on Aaron and Nicholas' faces when they saw the computer.

It was like, when they stepped into the room in the morning, and when their faces turned and they caught a glimpse of the new Acer computer sitting demurely on the computer table, their lips broke into a smile and their faces just...glowed. :D
And then they went straight to greet the new computer before greeting any of their fellow Edboarders who were in the room.
Nice one guys.  Ahahaha.
They looked like they could've just married the computer that very minute or something. HAHAHAHA.

So anyway, school was fine today (I'm finally, finally blogging about school!). In fact, school was so fine that I didn't even feel embarrassed when I misplaced my foot into the drain (thank god the drain was dry) and stumbled a little after school today. Haha.
Also, school was so fine, that I actually forgot that I had to pee. I finished drinking all my water by the 8th period and I told Shu that I have to go to the ladies afterwards because I needed to pee. And by the 10th period I totally forgot about the fact that I had to pee until ShuLin reminded me to.
How weird is that? HAHA.

Anyway, ut vita! :)

I Brought Three Rubber Bands To School Today

Oh man, I am so tired now. Physically tired but mentally hanging on.
Does that even make sense? I think my grammar's all wrong, but whatever lah. :) Whee.

So, GERKO Day today was really fun. I got to skip classes (I doubt my teachers were really teaching anyway), got to witness the crowd of students pondering over which club they should join, got to sit down on the floor to finish my English essay, got to walk around taking random pictures, got to be awesome in my last year of GERKO Day enjoyment. I cannot believe I'm graduating this year. 

GERKO Day duty was just the least of it all. After school and after eating a lunch consisting of asam laksa + meehoon and french fries, I went to play frisbee. And although I was initially rather reluctant, it turned out to be pretty fun. So yeah. I wouldn't mind playing it again. :)

It's better than playing frisbee with my dog, because you see, dogs cannot throw the frisbee back at you.
Ahah, ahah. :)

I Feel Like Cyring

I'm feeling very temperamental nowadays. It's like I can get all hyped up, excited and optimistic about something and before end of the day I feel very good about myself, but one minute later- BOOM. I'm all sad and sentimental and upset and jealous and hurt and possibly everything negative feeling you can come up with.
So after that BOOM, I just sit there thinking, and thinking, and thinking, and thinking. And after thinking for about 100 years, I feel better.

I can't just run upstairs and grab my iPod and listen to music and feel all better in one second like I used to be able too. Now music therapy doesn't even help. Something is wrong with me. It's not like I don't know the reason to my temperament; I have a pretty good idea about it actually. And it's not what you think it is.  But I just hope that it's not it, and that it's just my hormones playing me, or PMS or something.

See, something is so wrong with me I can't even type right.

Peace, Is All Anyone's Looking For

Lately, I find that my happy days tend to have been turned bad by certain events.
I'm not an unreasonable person, and I do try to consider and look at things in different perspectives.
However, I AM a human-being, and being that I have feelings and am entitled to my own opinion.
I can understand the complication of being a human-being, and thus you don't see me being a rebellious teenager, trying to invade into the minds of other people and making them see things MY way. Because the world doesn't just consist of ME and my opinion, I have to learn to respect other people's thoughts as well. And I do.
And when I find it frustrating that people don't see the same way that I do, I explain to them and try to get them to understand what my thoughts are.
If I have ever gone out of hand, I deeply and truly apologize. I'm hot-tempered and my agitated thoughts tend to be channeled to impulsiveness.

But please, back off, and show a little respect to what we have here. We're not looking for trouble, and we thank you not to bring trouble to us. 

That's all we, all I ask.

p/s: Oh yes, I want to thank the darlings who have given me advice and cheered me up during the time of my frustration, rants and when I was feeling upset. What would I do without you people.
MWAH. :)

Cool Things That I've Discovered :D

I have found the 8th Wonder of the World. :D
Okay well, I didn't actually find it, more like rediscovered it. :)
SKYPE.
Skype, is a programme designed for you to be able to have conversations on-line through the microphone (webcam or no webcam), designed for you to be able to have emergency midnight meetings with your fellow club members, designed to um, eavesdrop on the background voices of the people you are chatting with, etc. :)
I know MSN has the same thing as well, but no one voice-chats through MSN. Skype is so much cooler for voice-chatting. Don't ask me why, it just is. 

Okay I felt like I was crapping. But whatever. Just use Skype and you'll be able to see the power of it's um, coolness. :)

Okay, the second cool thing that I've discovered lately (through this TV series called Shark) is that there's this job called a hostage negotiator. By the name you can obviously guess that the job of this hostage negotiator is to well, negotiate hostages. Say for example, some people are being held hostage in this bank by a robber armed with a gun. Then a hostage negotiator will be called and will try to meet with the demands of the robber to get the hostages out safely while working with the police to find a way to corner the robber.
Awesome, right? How come we've never heard of these cool jobs in Malaysia?

And the third thing that I find really cool is forensic psychology. Seriously, this is a job that combines psychology with a bit of law. If I'm not wrong, forensic psychologists have to go to court to testify stuff sometimes, and also have to deal with prisoners and crime-doers to analyse them and figure out what-in-the-world is the matter with them. One of the very big risks of taking up this job is that you might get hit or injured while facing prisoners and/or you might accidentally get killed during a prison riot or something like that. But other than that, you're helping to do some justice in the world. Isn't that cool?

So, yeah. The cool things that I've discovered. I remember there's more on my list but that's what I have for now. :D

Facebook Shut Me Out of My Own Account

And the excuse that Facebook gave was that they were maintaining my site, and that it would take a few hours before I could log in again. Oh wait. Hey! They let me in again. :) Stupid facebook.


Oh yes. Harry Potter the kitten has been taken to the animal shelter to be cared for. The poor thing really needs a home to go to and someone to love and care for it. As I've blogged about in my last post, the kitten has a nose-sniffing problem and afterwards, I found out that it has a stomach-ache as well. Oh yes, it kind of also has a problem pooping, because I find that it cannot control it's pooping sensation properly. The poop just drips out of it's butt. And that's how I got poop-stains on both my t-shirts. :S

Well, apart from having kitty poop stains on my shirt, this week's been quite a good week. Friday (meaning today) was just awesome. :) Seriously, I love Fridays. I'm going to stay back every Friday if I can. :D

Mother of the Third

I'm 4 months to 17 and I think I'm already prepared for motherhood. Really.
I mean, for the third time in my life I am playing mother to another kitten who was spotted outside my gate. So, being the kind family that we are, we took the kitten in.

The kitten (now on my lap meowing for attention or something while I am blogging this) is black and white in colour, and has patches of fur missing from it's ears and body (the poor dear). It kind of looked like it went through a bad time.  I have decided to name it HARRY POTTER, because it has black fur on the top of it's head that makes it look like it has black hair, and green eyes. :D
This Harry, however, is nothing like the one in JK's book. Harry the kitten needs attention like, all the time, and it keeps wanting/needing me to pat it on the head (it meows really really loudly when I don't) and it sniffs too, all the while as well. The sniffing sounds like how we humans sound when we have a bad runny nose and/or cold.

Well, anyway, people REALLY have to stop littering cats outside my house. SERIOUSLY.
If you can't keep a cat, don't THROW it away for god's sake, just give it to someone else who will care for it much better than you will, or give it to the animal shelter. Don't pack it in a box and drop it in front of someone's house opposite a park. SHEESH.
STUPID, MEAN PEOPLE.

And We're Back To School

So Nick's birthday surprise didn't turn out quite the way I thought/hoped it might be. Somehow the birthday surprises we planned don't turn out the perfect way we want it to be. But anyway, as long as we enjoy ourselves and have a good time, it's all good.

So Nick, I hope you enjoyed a very HAPPY SEVENTEENTH BIRTHDAY. :)

And sorry again for the whole cold-shoulder-ignoring thing in the morning. That was supposed to be all part of the surprise plan. :S

THIS IS OUR YEAR.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, DARLINGS. :D

I think so much happened in the year of 2009 that my head is bursting trying to think about all those wonderful memories. :) That and my head is throbbing with the fact that I haven't gotten much sleep this holiday. See Rachel's eyebags for proof. :S


And, for my usual attempt to blog about something- anything, I will make lists. Again. :)

The Best of 2009 (a list every blogger is making/made)
(Here I have to rack my brains because every time I sit down to make lists, the list contents just flew out of my brain and into...somewhere)
1. The Editorial Board. Just about everything/everyone in this board makes everyday fun and kooky!
2. MY CHINA WINTER CAMP. I loved that 12 days spent in China; and you have no idea how much I want to go out with my camp mates again. :)
3. Merah Marching. :D Go on Youtube and you'll be able to see why we won First Place.
4. The Love Gang. Yes, I was a little skeptical with the name at first but I've gotten used to it by now. :)

5. Sweet Sixteens. Young adults of 1993, we were sweet, young and innocent at the age of 16 last year; now we're moving on to fierce some 17!

7. My Best Holiday So Far. This November/December has been my best school holiday yet. And I wouldn't trade it for the world.
8. I am more environmental-friendly. It's true, people! I so hardly often use the air-cond last year, I think it might have gathered dust and welcomed spiders and their new home.
9. Making new friends. I feel more sociable!
