sunday morning, rain is falling
oh yeahhh ....

Don't get me wrong, I don't like Sundays actually (when the next day is a school day that is). Anyway, today was such a laaaazy for me. Aside from homework, I pretty much just sat my butt down on the couch watching E! Entertainment :D Watching 'Iron Empress' now and this was what happened 10 minutes ago:

Me: Eh Hannah I think I would have been a good warrior, you know. Maybe I should join the army...

Hannah: Say what??!

Me: Yeah I think I'm quite capable.

Hannah: Oh please! You won't even last lah; you're not even tough!

Me: What??! Whatever. I am okay!

Hannah: No, you're such a sissy. Other people get drunk on beer or wine. People like you get drunk on plain water.


HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!

something's gotta give me butterflies
something's gotta make me feel alive
something's gotta give me dreams tonight
something's gotta make me feel alright
i don't know what it is, but yeah something's gotta give

I'm sure you get the gist, or even the slightest idea of what i mean by hectic. Haha. And well if you didn't get that, then let's think about the next 4 months yeah. Adrenaline pumping through your veins, brains throbbing away in your skull, eyeballs on the verge of bulging out of your eyes, tempers flaring, head-banging (on the walls), nail-biting, hair-pulling, stuffing your face with food as well as screaming, shouting and yelling definitions just for the sake of memorising them, etc... Yeah.... NOW you get it, don't you? Hahahaha. Okay fine, they say it's not THAT bad but still, "the stuffing your face with food" thing is totally true. I think I'm gonna gain 10kg in the process of preparing for O's. Watch me. And my Ca1 L1R5 was dots. 19 freakingg hell! haha but then again it wasn't as if it was a surprise or anything; I kinda expected it actually :/

Ooh and I watched Laskar Pelangi during HML lessons for the past week and a half. IT'S REALLY GOOD(: Haha just think Indonesian 'Slumdog Millionaire', except that while SM focused on the dark, dirty side of LDCs, LP focuses on the topic of education. And Alyssa and I had library day today! Haha the aftermath of 'anectomy of a boyfriend' made us more err aware of err good reading yupp. HAHAHA. Oh & that reminds me - a.math test tmrw ): Ugh. Sigh but I must do well, I SHOULD anyway. We are all morally obliged to do so :D Watching Laskar Pelangi will tell you why. And for Mrs Long also! Man, if being stressed up had bases like in baseball, believe me I'm doing HOMERUNS. Uh-huh again, and again. And again...

I LIKE! ((:

Hmm let's see: I woke up at 12-ish this morning, did some a.math (or TRIED TO at least), got pissed off because I couldn't prove a trigonometric identity, and now, lo and behold, I'm currently blogging while watching 'Teen Titans' at the same time. I know, I know - you're all probably thinking, "How does she do it?", but really, being bad at math might not necessarily be a bad thing after all.

Okay, so what if it's been a month since I've updated right? I fblogging is all about expressing your feeling to the whole world, literally, then I think there's no better time to do it than right now:

So, 2008 so far has been _______.

OBAMA for the democrats [check], NADAL for Roland Garros [check], SPAIN for Euro '08 [check], NADAL for Wimbledon [checkcheckcheck]. ARE you ffriggin' kiddin me?! The whole year has been GREATT! My life has never felt more accomplished! Well, sure my grades were thrash in the beginning of the year and my whole academic aspect of life was almost preposterous; but who cares?!! Wait, okay fine maybe my mum, dad and everyone else above the age of thirty, but well, you know what I mean! 2008 is ESPANA baby! And I am sooo going to Spain, soon. Very soon. I hope. Haha!

Ooh and I found out something new today. It was so shocking at first, but glad to know I prepared myself very well for it. (Hmm, if only I could do the same for my tests). Rafael Nadal, yes Rafael Nadal, has a girlfriend people. Uh-huh, exactly; tell me about it.


(Aww, they look quite good together, actually. And for the first time, I'm actually NOT in denial. Aha people, TAKE THAT.)


(I think she looks quite pretty. At least she's not like some kind of all-glam queen, high-profile kinda person. C'mon, any girl who can keep her 3-year relationship with Nadal a secret, definitely earns my respect.)

She is soo lucky. Haha, yeah anyways on to my life now. There's like 3 tests next week - namely, Listening Comprehension, A.Math & Chemistry. (omg). Then the following week, E.Math, Physics & Social Studies. (omg). I can just faint, peepos. And speaking of A.Math, my dad taught me the Linear graphs yesterday. Ugh, THANK GOD? I barely understand what Ms L says in class anymore. It all goes like a bullet train like whoooosh and after the whole lesson, I find myself sitting around wondering what just hit me. No wonder the whole class is suffering. I mean, look at it this way, I think all of us can agree that we barely understand half the stuff that teachers teach in class, we just sit there nodding our heads and pretending to understand while our subconscious mind is going "huh? what?". But then again, maybe it's just me. Still, I'm convince that I should be home-schooled. I mean, sewing, embroidering and cooking won't do any harm, will they? Haha. Gosh when my dad teaches me math at home, it's as if there's this shroud of a light bulb above my head that lights up in an instant. At school, the light bulb malfunctions and I go "Err...?", then I'll end up getting scolded :/ It's all the light bulb, baby, it's all the light bulb. Ooooh and guess what I found!:

Magic Thinking Cap - Brain Hat

Colorful, anatomically correct brain on the cap - flip up the brim and expose the words,"Think, Think, Think..." when you need extra brainpower. 100% cotton. One size fits all.

^This is so cool! I found it at allheart.com. I'm strongggly considering buying one.

Anyways, I have 4 GG books sitting on my desk waiting to be read now. I'm reading the first one but I'm only halfway through and this is the 2nd day. Man Ir ead slow. Oh God, how many flaws can I have? You know what, DON't answer that question. Blair Waldorf is the coolest person ever, and it's okay if she doesn't get into Yale. Eww I dislike Serena ): Haha okay I'm so digressing now. GG is so addictive, be it a good or bad thing. Hahah and Cheryl and I were controlling the time-score machine during training and we were talking about how laughing strengthens abs and we shouldn't be made to do crunches/sit-ups anymore. So here's your ab-strengthening exercise for the day, peepos:


- When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.
- Behind every successful man is a surprised woman. - Maryon Pearson
- Men are like bank accounts. Without a lot of money they don't generate a lot of interest.
- What you call dog with no legs? Don't matter what you call him, he ain't gonna come.
- I told the doctor I broke my leg in two places. He told me to quit going to those places. - Henny Youngman
- Energizer Bunny arrested, charged with battery.

^Stuff that makes you luff! (Wow, I'm getting good at this) Hahahahhaha!

Whoooooooo I'm back....!!! Again. Dude, I'm like super drained right now. Uh-huh. On physical and money terms. Hehh. Sorry about the late post reply Lynnie! Heheee!

Okay Thailand/Malaysia was quite well interesting, I guess. I mean there were a ton of nice people I got to meet on the trip, that made it especially nice. They were old at least ten years older than me, but still - nice. We didn't get to go to Phuket, unfortunately. But the other places were pretty nice too. Haha we spent a lot of time on the coach, similar to the UK trip. The whole of the first and a half days were spent in the coach from Malacca to Hatchai, then Treng. About 3 days plus in Thailand, yeah then travelled back down to Malaysia. I would have liked to spend more time in Thailand, cause then you'd get to buy more stuff. Oh wells((: The Malaysia trip was "lighter" in that sense. But we still travelled around a lot. But I like the hotels! I think the Penang one is the best. I'm so sorry I have no pictures! It's on Grammy's camera which I shall try to retrieve. I guess having 976 pictures on the UK trip wasn't really a great idea after all. ((: Yeah and OMG I ATE A LOT. I'm gonna die at training. For sure. Haha! The Thai lobsters are crazily huge, dude. They must be overweight or something because they were like THIS big. Man, I really need Grammy's camera now. Anyway, I ate one. Okay maybe half, cause I was sharing with my cousin.

And speaking about my cousin (whose name I shan't disclose because he's not supposed to eat gigantic lobsters), I found out a weird thing about him yesterday. Grammy bought a sandwich for us in the train and he gave me the white part. When asked why he said,

"... I don't understand why people eat fluffy things. The white part is so fluffy. I only eat the crust."

Dude! Like what?!! Hahah Nadhira said it's interesting. Hmm, okay yeap. I agree.

And sms-ing Nadhira during the trip was super funnn! Hahahah we talked about life+dudes (yeah I think you know what I mean). And I still find C.Ronaldo gross. No offense. I kept feeding her all the stuff they wrote in this trashy celebrity magazine I found in Malaysia.

1) "I'm addicted to making babies. I want to have at least 1 more," Heidi Klum
2) And Hulk Hogan's ex-wife, who is 48, is currently dating this 19-year-old dude. The mentioned dude used to go to high school with her two kids. Dude.

Sigh. The world is going around funny. Ooooh and big-big-big news! Guess who won the Roland Garros???





Whoooooo yayyy!!! Gosh-gosh-gosh that was one of the happiest day in my life((((((: I hope he wins Queens' too! And I so very-very-very enthusiastically hope he wins Wimbledon this year. I know Federer really wants it bad but please let Nadal win, God. Please, please, please(:

Dudes I think I should go sleep now so I can recuperate for Monday's training! Buhbye loves!((:

Oh man I'm quite pissed off ): My mum doesn't allow me to go training tomorrow and I can't understand why! She keeps insisting that I'm too tired and that I have to conserve energy for Thailand. Then she threw my sports shoes into the washing machine. Like wth??! So now I can't even go to training cause my shoes will be wet anyway and I don't even know if the shoes will dry in time for the trip itself!! Grrrrrrrr! And now I can't pass the chocolates to everyone and Jiao Lian ))): I'm damm sad! Can you imagine 20 days without seeing them? I will surely reach the highest point of physical tiredness when I come back for training after a friggin 20-day break!!! DIEEEEEEEE! vjsfbgubgseufbgesr;oig aaaaarghhhhh!!! Oh God please help me!
