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!

"See You Later" Doesn't Mean "Goodbye"

Today, I, Rachel, shall bow down to Susan Boyle, because not only has she the most magnificent voice but also because she has a Scottish/British accent.

ALL HAIL SUSAN.

I tell you she is by far the greatest vocalist I have ever heard. And for those of you who have never even heard her sing, you listen to me and go to Youtube straight away and type Susan Boyle in the search column. Like, now.

Oh and speaking of accents, I have decided that I shall go to England one day to study literature and I shall come back with an accent that I will proudly show off to everybody. But I doubt I can hold on to that accent for long once I come back to Malaysia, because you know, Malaysians settle real quick to the accent/slang of whatever environment they're in. Even Wikipedia says that.

Really.

The last time I went to China and soon I was speaking in a China-Chinese slang. But a few days after I came home, my slang wore off and I was back to speaking in my normal Malaysian way. :(

Ooh or I could just go and live in England! :D

Battle Of The Brains

This has become a habit of mine- blogskin hunting.

But I can't help it, there're so many nice and pretty blogskins out there just waiting for someone to use them. Haha.

Anyway, have been playing Restaurant City on Facebook (though I wouldn't exactly say obsessively) and fooling around on Photobucket.

Just remembered that the only subject that I finished studying is Literature, and I haven't even started on History yet. Yes, I know, I'm so screwed. And I really have to stop saying that and get down on my hands and knees and crawl to my History reference book.

But History is just so....boring and old. Especially Malaysian History. I'd rather World History a whole lot more. I even prefer Add Math and Math over History, and I'm a rather sucky person when it comes to numbers!

Went to Popular today and bought a whole bunch of worksheets to help me get started (like, for real, serious studying) on my studying. I have at least 2 History workbooks so that should get me into the full mood to study this particularly boring subject of mine tomorrow today.

Besides that, I think I'm about 55% prepared for next week's midterms.

Plus I just realised that my post titles stink.

And do I really look like a Singaporean? :)

Pardon any grammar mistakes, I'm just feeling awfully sleepy.

Night.

HaHaHeeHeeHaHaHoo

Finally, finally got the Merah Celebration pictures from Ee Voon.

So, THANK YOU EE VOON. :D

Oh and all the pictures are in my Facebook, as I am too lazy to pick which ones to upload on Blogger, and there're about 71 pictures people, so click here to view the pictures.

:)

I am STILL so screwed for my midterms. Maybe momsie will let me skip school on Monday and Tuesday to study at home. :/

I Am So Into Cookies Lately

The Secret Of Life, is to fall down seven times and get up eight times.

-- Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

I am so screwed for my midterms.

Like, really.

There's one week more to the start of exam and let me tell you people, that I haven't studied a BIT. No, not even one onehundreth of a chocolate chip piece on a chocolate cookie.

So you can probably imagine how much of a goner I am for the midterms.

It's not that I'm being a total lazy bumm and am neglecting my studies (okay, maybe a bit) but I spend like half of my time catching up with homework.

So, I DO wish that the teachers would STOP giving us homework and SPARE US, therefore giving us more FREE TIME to study.

Did I mention that I haven't even started studying? No, not even a BIT.

And here I am, blogging about it.

I've FINALLY finished my homework (am very lazy to do Mod Math, I don't think the trainee teacher will mind if I hand it in one day late. She's very nice one laa) and tomorrow I shall bring my History reference book to school and study.

I Rachel Ho, vow, and plegde to STUDY for as long as my eyes can stay open; and I will try (I said try) to keep all distractions (aka going online, watching DVD movies) away from me, and lock myself up in the study room, to study.

Who Stole The Cookie From The Cookie Jar?

I did, actually. And I took only one. Because I am still trying to cut down on some tummy-fat by eating fresh, healthy salad. And I've been eating salad for the past 2 days for every meal. And meat, of course. Just no rice and bread for the current moment. :)

Friday: Teacher's Day

Teacher's Day was, OKAY. I brought my camera there but didn't take many pictures, listened to the contestants of CHS Idol (there was this band singing I'm Yours, super cool!) and got pranked by Adrian Anthony (I will get him back for this!).

So this is like the ONLY picture I took, and Pei will love me for posting this. So there you go, Pei!

When I came home my dog was lying in the corner, and she only looks this sad when I fish the camera to take a picture of her. So not photogenic.

My nice and huge pencilbox that I stuff everything into, aka staplers, my calculator, glue, scissors, and my sticky note pad.

My words have gotten bigger and this is proof that I HAVE been doing my homework. :)

Saturday: Merah Celebration Party Day

Went to Cheras, the captain's house was BIG. And really well-decorated! Stayed there for about 5 hours and went home feeling really tired and sleepy.

The boys were sitting there watching football on TV for about 2 hours before we all finally started eating dinner. 2 hours!

Then we cracked our winning hamper but no one ate anything or brought home anything. -_-

Then they played games (I didn't join in any of the games because of my [as Pei said] lack of gamesmanship) but I stood there taking pictures with Ee Voon's camera. Lots of pictures. :)

All the nice, clear pictures are with Ee Voon and as soon as I get them I will upload them on Facebook. The quality is much, much, MUCH better than the pictures above. :)

Things-to-Do:

STUDY.

Charge Ipod.

Switch off phone.

Refrain cursing (@#%#!)

STUDY.

Do Stop Acting Like An Immature Bunch Of Kids

I knew it!

Danny Gokey got eliminated. And I predicted that the Top2 would include either Adam Lambert and Kris Allen or Adam Lambert and Danny Gokey like a month ago. But when the Final Week came nearer I guess my prediction narrowed down to Adam and Kris, and it came true! :D

And to be honest, I support Kris Allen a little more than Adam Lambert, because Kris is cute. :)

Oh but at the other time I have a feeling that Adam will win, because he is such an awesome singer (I don't care what Shu says about his screaming, I think that that's what makes Adam a winner)!

So either way, I'll get a win-win situation on the winner of American Idol. Unlike last year. Last year was really disappointing. :/

Aren't they just both the coolest? :D

Oh yes, on the other hand, I've gotten pretty tired watching the guys (specific details will be left out) in my class argue, because I'm the one who has to hear at least one of them complain about it to me. Oh and I really want to listen to class, especially since exam is nearing, and my current goal now is to not fail my midterms.

So yes, please please do stop acting like a bunch of immature 5 year old kids. I bet even monkeys are less immature leh. And monkeys definitely do not keep arguing and patching things up with one another.

I find this situation annoying and at the same hilarious.

Barnacles

That nice white top I was talking about?

Yeah, it's mom's. But I can always borrow it, it fits me well! :D

And I didn't walk my dog again today.

Was busy trying to write a piece about dear old Merlin.

Toodles.

Update:

Just read Pei's and Louise's blog about that form one kid.

What is his problem?

And yes, I'm tired of all the fighting that's been going on between the rivalry of the sports houses too. Practically everyone I know is.

So people, stop it once and for all. And let the CHS Spirit um, fill our hearts as one big family again. :)
