Twinkling Stars

A late birthday shoutout to:

Cousin Abigail, who turned 19 on the 4th of April:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :D

Mom It's Your Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM! :)

Thank you for always being there when I need you and for being completely calm and understanding when I told you about that thing. Haha! 

So for mom's birthday we picked up two boxes of +Wondermilk's CuppaCakes for tasting. It isn't as nice as I thought it would be, but it's still pretty yummy all the same. What I've found out from +Wondermilk is that you can order custom-made cupcakes for special celebrations, friends & family's birthday etc. 

Which I guess is nothing special for people who can bake!, but still. :)

At night we went off to OneUtama's Delicious for a birthday treat, 

YES to smoked-salmon pasta!

and right after that late dinner we decided to catch the movie NINE at 11.30pm.

Went home at about 2am and slept for 9 hours and I still feel sleepy but who cares because it's the holidays right now, Ilovemymom and I'm going to go book WestSideStory tickets YAY!

Making Peace.

But on the other hand:

HAPPY 14TH MY DARLING SISTER.

THANKS FOR LISTENING TO MY RANTS AND SHARING YOUR SECRETS WITH ME.

:)

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

Sparky Sparky Boom Man!

Hello, I am back from my temporarily absence of blogging.

But see, I have a very good reason for my leave because I would rather delete my blog than neglect it and that's saying something!

Well, I haven't been online and blogging because I have been watching Avatar: The Legend Of Aang everyday after school for the past week. :D

It took hours to finish watching all 61 episodes of the animation series that Nick burned for me (which bytheway is now in the hands of PeiShe) and it was SO GOOD. Oh and I have also been busy cleaning my room of ALL things to ready my room for the painters to come and re-paint it. All my clothes and accessories and bags are piled up messily together with boxes of documents and such in the upstairs living room. There is pretty much no space at all to walk and you have to trod carefully once you reach the top landing of the staircase.

I will be so glad once this whole renovation re-painting thing is over. I cannot, cannot cannot stand the dust. My nose is super sensitive to dust or any sort of ticklish microorganism.

So there you go. A perfectly good reason why I haven't had the time to blog and why my Facebook wall is being spammed with posts and tags from the Love Gang.

Who came up with that name anyway?

And now that I have blogged about why I couldn't blog and have forgotten what I originally wanted to blog about, I think I will re-install my chatbox and go watch some time-wasting videos on Youtube. :)

Oh yes, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CHOONG QIAN XI, who I doubt knows this blog even exists. =.=

Pineapple Juice

I have no idea which one was the worst.

Midterm Chem paper, or today's Chem paper. :S

I shall not blog about it.

I have a choice of either crossing my fingers or studying HARD for the next 2 Chem papers

I obviously need to devote time to study Chem on a daily basis, but as I said, no self-promises. By the end of the day/month/year I'll be labelled a self-promise breaker.

So much for blogging about studying my butt off today's Chem test.

I'm just thankful that the Malaysia announced a last-minute-holiday, giving me

• one extra day to study
• the time to go buy pants before I set off for Pahang
• at least one good night of sleep before I wake up to a full late-night study mode again

And now I am off to relax, read a book, watch some TV before going to tuition and coming back to -

OMGITSRAININGMYRABBIT!

*Okay I'm back and I just saved my rabbit from being drenched in acid rain (you're probably thinking: whatintheworld-?)

But anyway, I shall end this post with a BIG BIRTHDAY SHOUTOUT to CARMEN CHUA, who just turned sixteen today, :)

HAPPY SIXTEEN, CARMEN.

I Have No Idea What To Name This Post

I am definitely what most people would call a planner.

I plan things, though not obsessively. But, well, who on earth isn't a planner?

I'm just the kind of person who likes to plan an outline in her life. I like to gouge a pathway (even if it's just a sketch of the pathway) as to where I'm heading towards in the future. It gives me a sense of comfort and relief knowing that I'm not lost in the middle of nowhere, and that I at least have a road to walk on.

It's just like the whole which-university-should-i-go-to thing. Most people would go "Agh, you're just a Form 4. You've still got plenty of time to decide."

Which is quite true, I guess. But if you think about it. Being a Form 4 is just less than two years away from graduating, and to me that's like having less than two minutes to decide between buying a red dress of a blue one.

Okay that was a very lame example, and you probably don't get what I mean, because you're not Rachel The Life Planner. Not the Daily Planner, because I cannot stand planning every single detail of my life- that's not fun. But the Life Planner, as in I like to have an outline of my Life.

And just for the record, today is my Daddy's birthday, so:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY! :)

Purple is the colour of royalty. Look it up.

:D

Duhh.

Hello!

Report Card Day was fun. I went class-hopping, had a bearded picture of me drawn onto the back of my hand by Pei, and ran up and down the school.

I had a feeling I was talking and laughing very loudly in class, but my form teacher told my mom that I was very quiet in class.

I mean, I guess I'm quiet during her class, but I think I'm usually pretty noisy in class loh. Not that anyone gives a damn about it. Why should they anyway?

Moving on, I just read JingHui's blog, and there's this picture where she took during Bio that has my big fat leg innit. I think that my arms and legs don't go together, because I have like these skinny sticks for arms, and big clumps of meat for legs. :/

OH and as for today: HAPPY SWEET SIXTEEN MICHELLE ANNE LEONG, who's like the prettiest european+asian girl I've seen, ever. She has these really big pretty eyes that I envy so much loh. :)

And, and she got this guinea pig for her birthday present, which we named Kimora (you know, after Kimora Lee Simmons), but then after that ChenLynn wanted Gracie, so now it's erm, Gracemora. X)

Oh yes so we were playing with Gracemora in the EdBoardRoom, and she pooped quite a lot. And I had to clean up all the poop you know. Yes, that's right; I'm Rachel, the Poop Cleaner. =.=

OMG. My pendrive isn't working! IT WON'T BLOODY OPEN.

AAAAAH!

Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice

I just realized that I haven't done a birthday shoutout post for about a gazillion years. =.=

So here's one to ShuLin, the darling who sits beside me in class and which I think we'll probably sit next to each other for the next year as well! :) :
HAPPY SWEET SIXTEEN! :D

I really do hope you like/love your present, and use it well (I know you will one lah).
I forgot to take a picture of the purse to blog it, so mind that you do and post it on Facebook to let the whole world see!
Because the purse is just so...YOU. So SHULIN.

So yes, enjoy your birthday!
XOXO.

Random-ia

Went to Mich's Sweet 16th Birthday Lunch at Italiannies today at The Gardens. :)
The food there was so delicious, and I felt so full.
There were like, pastas and pizzas and this chicken parmagiana, and iced water and this huge white chocolate macadamia nuts birthday cake. :)
In fact, I still feel kind of full, so full that I even skipped tea. :)
So Michelle, thank you for the awesome awesome lunch, and await your awesome awesome birthday present. :D

I actually forgot to bring my camera there, so all camwhore pictures belong in Pei's camera, Shu's camera and Chong Sheng's DSLR. Oh and Carmen's camera too I think. :)
They'll all post it on Facebook one la. I'll post the Facebook link once they post it. :)
I feel so happy! Which I guess will explain the so many smileys on this blog post.
And and, I also feel very random. :P
I wonder if Chong Sheng posted the pictures on his blog already?
OMG I just remembered this very stupid shot of me that Carmen took, and OMG she didn't delete from her camera, and OMG she had better not post that picture on her blog.
You hear me, Carmen Chua?

I feel kind of dizzy. I think it's the stuffy air in Mid Valley. I didn't feel like this while I was in The Gardens loh. The Gardens' air very clean and fresh and chilly and cooling one.
Oh yes btw, after The Gardens we went to Mid Valley ma right? So then we went to TopShop, and we went to try on these really fabulous outfits. The outcome was really funny for Shu, Pei and me (HAHA. Don't even bother asking why, because I'll never tell, because if I do I'll be slaughtered). Anyway, I looked really nice in these 2 dresses, but they cost about 200 bucks each, so yeah. :(
I think Shu took a picture of me and her in this Greek Goddess-like outfit. So nice you know?
Oh, I finished all my Sour + sweets already. :(

Talk To The Wind, Talk To The Sky

HAPPY 15TH BIRTHDAY SEAN!!

We shall take you out one day for a very belated birthday celebration. I hope you don't mind! ;)

Anyway, I got through the first 4 exam papers fine. Screwed up a little a lot. :/

Am definitely, definitely hoping for a miracle.

And my goal is to get top 15 in class! Top 20 at least. It's always good to know what you're aiming for, right? :)

Final papers before the 2 week holiday: English 1 and History.

History's a bummer, and I'm gonna have to pull an all-nighter for this subject just like I did with Moral yesterday/today dawn.

I took a 3 and a half hour nap from 10.30pm and woke up at 2! Just to study Moral. And I screwed it up anyway. I couldn't even remember any of the moral value definitions during the exam. And I almost fell asleep halfway through the paper. -_-

But I managed to finish the paper all the same.

And now- on to History we shall tackle!

A Smile, A Big Hug, and THUMBS UP.

In order not to drive everyone who comes into my blog into clicking the little X red button when they see my originally-super-long-post, I have decided to separate my blogging into two posts today.

And this post is a shout-out to my dear sister, who just turned thirteen yesterday:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHEL. :) ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

She had a pretty normal birthday celebration, but I bet you she had an awesome time in school. I mean, more than half her class signed Happy Birthday on this piece of paper and gave it to her after school! That's like, so sweet! :)

I spent like, the whole afternoon running around performing errands with my mom. I had a haircut, bought my pen and file, fixed my mom's shoes, bought a patchwork-cake for my sister, fixed my spectacles, fixed my mom's spectacles, bought a packet of chewing gum, bought my sister a heart-shaped box filled with Ferrero Roche's and wrapped my sister's birthday present.

Oh yes I got her this book called False Impression by Jeffrey Archer and you really have to check it out. Just by reading the back of the book will drive you insane to rip the plastic-wrapping off and read it immediately!

Oh yes and we stayed at home and watched The Kite Runner, very very nice movie. I want to read the book so badly now (in fact I want to read a lot of books so badly) but my mom lost the book I think.

Oops gotta study now.

I will stop checking my email, it's not going to happen.

Scrumptulescent!

Huh, I have no idea why but my blog feels very EMPTY.

Okay maybe it's the blogskin or something. Or perhaps it's the fact that no one leaves comments on my chatbox. ):

Ah well.

Anyway, I'm here to blog about INKHEART. I watched the movie just yesterday and it wasn't say, VERY nice but it was still enjoyable to watch. But all the people in the cinema with whom I watched the movie with wasn't. I don't know if it's me or the movie or them, but none of them laughed at the funny parts. There weren't a lot of funny parts in the movie and even so when a funny part appears nobody laughed. Or chuckled. Or giggled. I doubt they even grinned. Or smiled. Or twitched their lips.

Oh, yeah, and yesterday my mom bought me this purple lavender Sigg bottles. It wasn't my idea of buying it, I just told her that all Sigg bottles are aluminium-made and she decided to buy one for me and my sister because she disapproves of all plastic-made things. Yes, my very anti-plastic mother bought me an expensive bottle because she doesn't want me to die from cancer.

Loves mom. <3

Oh and one other thing about my mom is that: I think she's turning into a shopaholic! Which is a good thing, a very good thing indeed. And I think her current favourite shop would be Kitschen; whenever she sees Kitschen she will go in and start hunting for stuff. Which would probably explain the many Kitschen paper bags I have in my house.

Yesterday she bought me a red-striped halter tube top, from KITSCHEN (yes, where else?) even though she banned me (temporarily) from buying clothes because she said I'd already spent my budget (I don't even have any idea what my budget is!).

Loves mom even more. <3<3

Oh oh, and one last thing before I leave:

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

Get lotsa angpows people and spend all the money you received. :)

Babbitty Rabbitty and Her Cackling Stump

Today I :

1. Realised how cute ShuLin sounds when she's wearing her retainers. She said "twee" as opposed to "three" and couldn't really prounounced her name ("Hello my name is Shhhh-"). :)

2. Found out how nice JingHui looks with her newly straightened hair.

3. Think I do not really have a fear of public speaking as long as I'm enjoying myself.

4. Finished watching Down With Love and I love it as much as ever.

5. Think Renee Zellweger and Ewan McGregor look good together.

6. Found out that only 3 people in my class have birthdays in April. And the birthdays are on continuous days! 12th 13th AND the 14th of April. How awesome is that?! ;)

Haha. Anyway, I haven't been able to go online or blog for the past few days because my aunt and uncle came from Singapore together with my cousin and his wife who flew in all the way from Hawaii to celebrate Chinese New Year.

I've only remembered seeing my Hawaii cousin once, and that was year's ago at my uncle's birthday party. He speaks English with an American accent, and he still hasn't forgotten his Chinese yet! My cousin sister-in-law has a much stronger American accent, and I love the way she speaks! :D

Oh, bytheway, here's the photo of my dog and rabbit sniffing at each other as promised in my previous post.

Aw. :)

Oh yes I cannot believe I forgot to post a shout-out to YuenXin, who had her sweet sixteen just one day ago:

HAPPY (BELATED) BIRTHDAY!

Italian Spices

Here is a VERY SPECIAL shoutout to my one and only beloved DADDY:

HAPPY XX BIRTHDAY!! ♥♥

So for the special day (which also happens to be the start of my school's trial exam. Ugh.), we went to Marco's Pizza for a late dinner (because there was a traffic jam due to the rain and dad was home late blah blah blah).

And my parents wore the shirts mom bought from Taipei.

Look! Isn't it cute?

And then we had spaghetti and some pizza which I can't remember the names, and I ordered PASSION FRUIT Italian Soda. (Oh, PeiShe!) And it.was.good. :)

See? SEE?

And then we went home.
And later, probably at about 11pm, we'll sing the birthday song and blow the birthday cake.
*burp*

Oh, damn the Internet!

This one goes out to Michelle, who is very pretty and whom I noticed eating this chocolate-coated with two white hearts donut today. It looked yummy:

HAPPY 15TH BIRTHDAY!

Birthdays And More

I feel like I've been blogging all about birthdays these few days.

This one goes out to Shu Lin, the sweet yet tough girl (her punches hurt!) whom I missed being in the same class with her:

HAPPY 15TH BIRTHDAY!

And I hope your chinese teacher doesn't torture you like how she does to us. :)

Another Birthday

To Chun Yeen, whom I have also greeted and who complains about strangers greeting him a Happy Birthday on Friendster:

HAPPY 15TH BIRTHDAY!

A Belated Smile

I know I've wished them a happy birthday but I still find it a courtesy to shout it out on my blog.
So here goes:

To Seck Wei, whose birthday was on the 16th of July:

HAPPY 15th BIRTHDAY!

And to Amelin, whose birthday was on the 17th of July and whom we had a lot of fun selling muffins:

HAPPY 15th BIRTHDAY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
ABIGAIL ♥ ♥

MIN YIEN ♥ ♥
