She Works Hard For The Money

Maybe the holidays are making me feel this way, maybe the boredom, maybe it's mum and dad going off to Europe for 2 weeks or maybe it's just me, but I miss my China camp, and I would love to spend 12 days touring one part of China again. :)

Whee. :)

Gee, Officer Krupke

This is going to be a short post since exam period restricts me from spending my time on long posts.

Yesterday I went to watch West Side Story musical with PeiShe, Aaron and Nic.
It was awesome.
It was enjoyable.
It was funny (MALE STRIPPER LOOKALIKE!)
and it was...sweet. :)

Man you guys are good companions to watch musicals. :)
Cheers.

Glitter In My Hair

I know it's a bit late for a Sports Day 2010 post, but I just had to record the experience down before all gets lost in the midst of the exam-frenzy and um, other stuff.

It was a great experience, being able to take part in something as exciting as the preparation for Sports Day. All the painting (non-removable paint, and I've got stains of it all over at least 4 of my school PE shirt & school pinafore) and the burning of egg trays to chase away the mosquitoes, the chatting, gossiping, laughing and who could forget the paper mache-ing? :)
Then, when all is done, you step back, take a look at your masterpiece and sigh in satisfaction. :)

And of course, staying overnight on the eve of Sports Day in preparation of costumes and khemah decoration. I'm not sure I did much during the night before Sports Day besides running around delivering stuff and trying to write/memorize a script to explain to the judges about the theme of Red House (The Night Before Christmas) on Sports Day.
But it was an experience, being able to sleep on the floor of the Sports Centre, trying to avoid the shiny bright spotlights above from blinding your eyes while you try to drift off into a dreamless sleep. My sleeping bag and fold-able pillow was taken away from me, so I curled up on the hard wooden floor and drifted off to sleep, only to be awaken one hour later at 4am by the talking of voices.

Sports Day was nothing but awesome. I dirtied my last & new red shirt, sprinkled glitter in my hair, painted my hand, put on a red hair band and tied a red ribbon, clapped, cheered, screamed, laughed, cried, hugged, sat in the sun without bothering to put sunblock and got both my arms sunburned. And the result of all that was that Merah came in first for both marching/formation & khemah decoration.


The marching has been recorded down and protected in my camera (LEGENDARY!) and our decoration items have their place of glory in the Foyer A for one week. :D
GO MERAH!

Sparkle.

Thanks for the present, Pei. :)

I love it. :)
This calls for a HIGHFIVE, a shopping/movie trip and a sleepover.

Red & Sweet

What can I say? I'm a sucker for these romance stories. :)
I've been thinking about this movie for the whole day, haha.

Considering the fact that Ais Kacang Puppy Love is a Malaysian movie, I wonder how many people have doubts about this movie. I'm proud to say that I'm not/wasn't one of them. ;D
I absolutely love this movie. There were some parts that got me laughing, and some that got me reaching for the tissue in my bag so that I could wipe the tears off my eyes that were clouding my view.
I think plenty people can relate to this movie like how people can relate to Taylor Swift's songs. I promise you this movie is just as heart warming as I Not Stupid and I Not Stupid Too, probably better.

I like how the movie shows the friendships of the kids who grew up together, the hardships that they go through, the romance that they face. I really love the scenes in the movie, the clean river, the little bridge that they sit and lie on chatting absent-mindedly away, how they sit at the cafe and eat ais kacang together as kids, the gambling, the betting, the Hokkien-speaking, the bullying, everything. :)
Aah such a lovely movie. And what an ending to that movie.

Do not doubt this movie just because it's a Malaysian-made movie. We've got talent here just like anywhere else! :)

Like Crushed Peas

AARRRGH to today.
The weather was hot and humid, and this unlucky thing that never should have happened happened.

I hope our luck goes up or I shall have to start hunting for 4 leaved clovers.

Happy Earth Day!

To be honest I completely forgot about Earth Day until I heard the reminder announcement during morning assembly in school today. But nevertheless, today was a good day. :)

Woke up in the morning feeling groggy, but then I received a text message that made my whole day. :D

So thank you, you know who you are. ;)

I find this picture both adorable and truthful. I don't think an explanation is necessary to tell people what Earth Day is all about, and if you're really clueless as to what Earth Day is all about, then go Google it. :)

And so from this picture I bring you a caption:

SAVE THE EARTH TO AVOID BEING STUPID.

HAPPY EARTH DAY!

And remember: make everyday Earth Day. :)

Laughter & A Cheerful Disposition

Hello, haven't been blogging for quite a while now. :)
Well actually I doubt anyone's been blogging lately because everything is so hectic.
It's like we all boarded the GoingOffToSomewhereExpress and the train master lost control of the the train and everything's just full steam ahead.

But today I've decided to take a day off all that, and have a little break. :)

Recently I've learned that I cannot do everything even though I want to, and sacrifices have to be made under certain circumstances. Well obviously this is a theory that everyone knows but I think to be able to grasp hold of the theory and apply it to reality is a totally different matter.
So right now I shall prioritize and stop distracting myself when I should be studying and stuffing myself with food whenever I feel like it. I need a healthy diet of food to eat, that's what I need.
Exams are about 3 weeks away, and so is Sports Day.
Personally, I'd prefer it if exams were pushed back until the holidays, then at least I'll have something to do while my parents are waltzing away in Italy.

I feel like time is passing really quickly, but at the same time passing slowly. Yes, I know, what a contradiction, you may think. But it's true: one week feels like a month, so I feel as if time passed really quickly, but then when you look back and find out it's only about a week ago since you turned 17, you realize that time isn't passing all that quickly. I'm not sure if that even makes sense, but that's how I feel. Hence the contradiction. Haha.

Alright, time for some videos and Facebook. :)
