time test got cancelled, yay. went to central market, where i got told the most vulgar, inappropriate jokes i have ever heard in my entire life.

eg.

Cinderella was all set to go to the huge ball, but she was having a severe case of PMS. She was crabby and pissy and moody and generally not in the party spirit. Her fairy-godmother again came to her rescue. Producing a pumpkin, she magicked Cinderella a magic tampon, which she substituted for a magic carriage.

Without her carriage, Cindy was forced to walk to the castle. She walked, and walked, and walked some more. Then, just as she reached the front steps and made it into the ballroom, the clock struck twelve.

Cinderella 'sploded.

YES. SOMEBODY ACTUALLY CAME UP WITH THIS.
and expected it to be funny.


the world is full of psycho.

~


they say shopping's therapy.
I need:

1. flippies
2. sneakers.
3. studs
4. sunglasses. (colourful, tourist-type ones)
5. shorts
6. studded tank!
7. couple beach t-shirts
8. Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book
9. skinnies
10. a PSP.

I NEED TO BE HAPPY!
desperately.

~

I worry, I weigh three times my body
I worry, I throw my fear around
But this morning, there's a calm I can't explain
The rock candy's melted, only diamonds now remain

By the time I recognize this moment
This moment will be gone
But I will bend the light, pretend that it somehow lingered on

chocolate jellybeans

are HORRIBLE.

i might possibly be heartbroken. they have BETRAYED me.

PASSED MY DRIVING TEST!

to be honest, i didn't study till like 8 o'clock in the morning yesterday, which was really irresponsible. the test was at 9:30. -_-

but things just came up and i sort of procrastinated.
stupid alcohol questions, would have aced it if i'd studied those.
But i passed with a 46/50, so i'm happy.

i freaked out so badly i didn't feel hunger. and i didn't eat a darn thing till Subang Parade at 4 in the afternoon. i don't know how i survived. stress, i suppose, has its advantages.

after that, went back to college, sat through Mr. Gerard's class and a whole lot of numbers and figures, taunted my classmates with my rock-solid excuse from the time-test, and skipped out gaily to meet Aunty Jen at Subang.

ended up having to wait a couple hours at Parade in the end while she had her hair done someplace else. So i decided to treat myself to a 30-dollar shirt that says

I'M FUN SIZE

which i love, and a 16-dollar lunch.
you might not think that's a lot, but it is, because i'm cheap.

~

ZOMGS.

i'm tired, so i'm just going to ramble. kay? :)


~


fingers. PAIN!

replying 80+ facebook messages and comments at one go will do that to you.

i've never felt more loved in my entire life.
it's a little sad, in a way, but i really do have the whole warm-and-fuzzy thing going on right now. it's mind-blowing.


~

i know i said i hated entering adulthood and all. i still do. in fact today, when people wished me i told them,

"I'M NOT NINETEEN TILL 1.23 p.m. SO TECHNICALLY I'M 18 YEARS, 364 DAYS, AND (blank) HOURS OLD, SO THERE!"

yeah i might have made a teensy bit of a scene.


~


but I had an amazing birthday.


FAREWELL YOUTH!


i realized that turning older's not so bad when you have wonderful family and special friends who keep you company and love you in your old age.


~


i thought today would be nothing special at first, because i had a full day of lectures and classes, from 10 t0 5, and that was kind of a bummer.


but they knew better.


when i got there, everyone wished me and everything.
thasha, vinho, and rajinah gave me their present (a scarf which i love much!) but apologized, saying they didn't have a cake (it's sort of a tradition to have one for every birthday in class) because rajinah had bought it friday and suddenly her house flooded and the cake was destroyed. -_-

now you might think that it was a pretty lame excuse, but this friend of mine can be very convincing. and at the point of time, i actually believed her. for a while.

REALLY!

then later during the break, rajinah told me to follow her to the bathroom, which i did.
and when i came back to class,

there was this beautiful chocolate cake on the table in front, and the whole class was singing to me, and i was in shock and sort of shook rajinah screaming "I KNEW IT!"

it was such a kodak moment.


~


my lecturer, when i offered him a slice of cake later (or rather, rajinah offered him a slice on my behalf) asked me,

"so how old are today? 31?"

i made this sort of incredulous rude noise at him and i think i sort of shocked him. -_-
Sorry Mr. Gerard! :D I respect you, really I do!

funny, funny.


~


i got such lovely presents too.

THANK YOU EVERYONE!
I LOVE THEM ALL!


~

I was blessed enough to have three chocolate cakes over a span of three days this year :D

how awesome are the people i know?

first cake, parents. Choco-banana. ate at Grandpa&Grandma's on Saturday.
second cake, Grandma. Butter-choc. ate at Uncle Venu's place, with family, on Sunday.
third cake, Suhana. (beautiful, beautiful girl)
Choco-chocolate chip. :D
ate at class, today, surrounded by some of the most ROCKHARD people i know.


How I love my class.

~


Think of more things tomorrow. I'm sure I'll come up with more goodies.


GOODNIGHT!
*curtsies*

Hi.

I am blogging today, because i did not yesterday, even though i wanted to, because it was a very auspicious occasion:

I'VE BEEN BLOGGING FOR A YEAR!

this may not seem important to you haters but i don't care cause i don't like haters and i wanted to blog anyway cause it marks my consistency and determination in sticking with something for a year and not backing out just because the pangs of lazy were kicking in and thus it was supposed to be a very special entry and then

well, i got lazy and went to sleep -_-

but!

for being a very agreeable little blog and putting up with my nonsensical ramblings for a year without disdain or complaint, I wish it

A VERY HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY!


because it is special :3


~


driving school is about as interesting as a toenail.


but it was like a UN meeting and there were like 3 hot foreign guys there and that makes everything okay even though i looked like a hag at the time -_-

~~

GOTTTAGONEEDTOSHOWERBYES :B

i has done it!

joined driving school, that is.

FINALLY, RIGHT? i mean it's only been two years. what is the big deal?

anyway, i am now officially a student (?) of Safety Driving Academy, Asia Jaya.

i, personally, think 'Safety' is a tad ironic.

the journey there is something else. (note: i'm probably going to exaggerate, but it's basically it.)

you have to walk across something of a desert wasteland (what they call the Asia Jaya station car park) just to get to a road (which happens to be a main) where they don't stop and it looks like their main goal is to try to run you down, and after you cross that road you stumble across a steel divider high enough to split you in half in you were to, say, misjudge the height of your jump, subsequently crossing another moreoftenthannot jam-packed road where they would rather risk killing you than letting you pass. Then you reach another sort of desert wasteland, (the entrance to the academy) where the malay hillbillies that work there leer and do that annoying kissing sound thing at you as you make your way to the office, (which, luckily for you, is at least half a kilometre away from the entrance)

not to mention the jokers you meet as you're waiting to cross the street.

for instance. when i finished registering (the signing up part itself was smooth, the lady i spoke to was really sweet and said i had 'muke yg comel', and i kind of have a soft spot for nice people like that) i was waiting to cross the road to get back to the station when all of a sudden this car overflowing (literally) with malay guys drove up to me and this one dude in a pink shirt leans out and yells,

"EYE ELL WHY!"

Now, I'm wondering what exactly this idiot is saying, and i'm thinking he's making fun of my driving school or something, so i actually look and check. 'SDC.' Nope. Not that.

Then it hits me. ILY. I love you.

WHAT?

Do these buffoons only think in abbreviations now? Have they gotten so lazy that their minds cannot process whole words anymore? It's not like saying the real thing causes them any more trouble. It's the same frigging amount of syllables.

nonetheless, it was very entertaining. at least i found it funny.

~~

ah yes. today was Ashley's graduation .

it was, as i anticipated, very awkward.

there were those who saw me, and pretended not to. there were those who didn't bother either way. and there were those who were nice enough to come chat for a while.

Chloe was the only one who surprised me with a panda hug that lasted about a minute, and told me how much she missed our year. It was a small gesture, but it was appreciated, and very sweet. a big difference from the majority that were like, "oh, she's here. how about that."

hmm. i guess that can come across bitter.

ah they weren't all bad. Ashley's batch is a very nice one. And it was very sweet to see how close-knit they are. Their graduation video presentation almost made me a little emotional.

I said almost.

~~

the samosas there were excellent.

Yi Wern's dress was jaw-dropping.
If I wore a size two and had a whole lot more confidence I think I'd be a fashion thief.

Mr. Chong told my mother I was timid! Said he thought i was going to burst into tears every time he asked me a question in class!

I mean i know i was shy, but -

haha. Have a good time in Ipoh, Mr. Chong.

dance time was fun. could have been longer. i got semi-molested by someone though -_- why does this kind of thing always happen to me? Jackie would say i've majorly ticked off, i dunno, the god of molestation or something. i'm sure that doesn't make sense, but pooh.

I'm just glad all the performances are over, and i don't have to hear that frigging Olivia Newton John song I've been forced to listen to repeatedly for the last week.

I miss my batch tons.

~~

went to Pyramid to let Ashley have her graduation dinner. Watched "Beyond A Reasonable Doubt" Despite the plotholes, predictabilities, and utter lack of common sense at times (and i ain't saying that because i'm a law student) i didn't suspect the ending at all, and it's Jesse Metcalfe, so.

but don't let that deter you. Law students will probably be building a better defense than what was shown, but other than that it's a pretty good watch. And hey, i'll let you in on a little spoiler:

the last scene has Jesse Metcalfe in all his half-naked absy goodness.

hoorays :3

~~

Driving Lecture tomorrow.
Yips.

(waves flag)

baby.

Never treats me sweet and gentle
The way he should
Cause I got it bad, and that ain't good

My poor heart is sentimental
Not made of wood
I got it bad, and that ain't good

But when the weekend's over
And Monday rolls around
My man and me, we pray some,
We gin some and sin some

He don't love me
Like I love him
Nobody could
I got it bad, and that ain't good

~~


ancient, this song is. my grandfather was five when it came out.
but i heard this one line in Tom and Jerry,

"I got it bad, and that ain't good"

and I've been singing it ALL FRIGGING DAY!

jazz it up a little ala Ella Fitzgerald, and you've got yourself a hit on your hands.


~~

Deepavali's here, yay.
Happy Deepavali, friends! :D

and I have a week's break.
yay me.

had henna done on arm by club at college.
it looked pretty on the paper, and okay on the arm while drying, but..


yeah, do I really have to say anything else?


but!
IT HAD A STAR!! I'M A SUCKER FOR STARS!!


:|

like this scarf i bought two months ago :3

ah well. looks passably cool from afar though. way afar.

sigh. three weeks to go till it wears down long enough for me to touch it up with the
henna Nina was nice enough to give me.


~~

no, i don't fall for your "whoop-tee-woo"

it has occurred to me, whilst browsing through certain friends' (coughkicough)blogs and then coming back to my own, that i rarely have anything truly insightful to say.

i was about to sit down and write something insightful three hours ago, just to prove i could be, you know, insightful and thought-provoking. but then criminal minds (i'm not one to say no to more Reid :3) and chatting with jane while exchanging jabs over a web-cammed AM-ing session kind of got in the way, and so here i sit, at one o'nine in the quiet, lonely morning, trying to think up something profound.

but all i got's this.



why is it that Asians have this universal rep, with the white boys that happen to come down to our miserable little corner of the world, for being EASY?

of course the slutty stupids that prance around the white flesh that come here like the floor they walked on was made of gold do nothing to dispel this way of thinking.

like this one girl i saw today on hitz.tv's special on David Archuleta's Malaysian concert:

girl: "liek omg i just saw you, David, at the autograph signing place just now and i took a picture with you, plz remember me, and if you forget everything else just remember my face okay? *grins perkily at camera* This face. I'll be here next time you come down *blows kiss*"



granted that's prolly not her exact words. but that was generally it and it irritated me to no end.

HONEY, YOU ARE EXACTLY THE KIND OF PEOPLE THAT GIVE US ASIANS BAD REPS.


okay, but we'll cut this girl some slack. he's a celebrity, and one of the most adorable post-pubescent faces this world will ever see. go figure.

but seriously.

my sister went to this AFS program Des took, and met Nils Naulers, an exchange student who happens to be (from a totally objective point of view) pretty good-looking. He happened to be her team leader. She told me how disgusted she was when she saw all these girls throwing themselves at him and sitting on his lap.( Where's the self-respect in all this, i wonder?)

He actually had the forwardness to ask her online later, "do these girls think we're rich or what? we're not rich! i don't see why we white folks get this much attention"

I applaud him for being one of the few white peeps to actually think it and say it aloud.

on the other hand, when you take a look at myself (not to blow my own trumpet or nothin') and my friends, you can see how we may take offense at this.

i mean, look at the culture of the average American, and look at us. if you think about it, we're not half as 'hip' as they are. And even if there are the exceptions (and what race doesn't have those?) we are actually not as 'open' and 'experimental' as you guys seem to think we are. For example. ( please pardon the french)

We probably wouldn't bed you after the first date. (or even the third for that matter)

Some of us actually don't think you'd be the absolute bomb in bed just because you're white.

some of us don't give you complimentary handjobs and massages and let you molest us for free.

Some of us actually care about more than looks, y'dig?

ergo, we ARE NOT SLUTS.

just my humble opinion.

a one o' clock in the morning opinion.
and one o'clock's usually not a very friendly time for me.



g'morning folks. :D

by the way

That's hot.


I know I said I'd be going buffer now, but I can't help it.
Matthew Gray Gubler is adorable. and I have this constant urge to hug him.




how could you not want to hug that?


wait watch this.



so teethy and geeky and ADORABLE!
I WANTS TO HUG HIM





okay off to bed.


edit://

okay. so as i look back at this post i realize it can come across as a kind of sarcastic cruel joke that i think he is romantically appealing (if that is in fact a term.)

but seriously! if you watch his character Spencer Reid on Criminal Minds, you would understand!
He's so socially inept and awkward around the ladies, and he never curses, and he does these adorable little magic tricks and he comes from this really sad broken family and..



AND I JUST WANT TO HUG HIM, ALRIGHT?! IS THAT SO WRONG?!?!







now if you'll excuse me. I have a date.
:D

did i drive you away?

I rewatched Wedding Crashers while at Aunty Jen's house for painting session on Wednesday. Rediscovered why i love Owen Wilson so much. He's so scruffy and adorable and unshaven and blond. :3


John&Claire are my new OTP. The make-out scene was so beautiful i almost cried.

"Would it be a total cliche if I kissed you now?"



me: NO, OWEN WILSON! NO! KISS HER DAMMIT!
(shakes the pillow i'm holding)

yeah.


Oh oh remember the scene where they both tiptoe to each other's bedroom doors in the middle of the night? Remember the song? I LOVE THAT SONG.


Did I drive you away?
I know what you'll say
You'll say, "Oh, sing one we know"
But I promise you this
I'll always look out for you
That's what I'll do

I say "oh"
I say "oh"

My heart is yours
It's you that I hold on to
That's what I do
And I know I was wrong
But I won't let you down
(Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah I will, yes I will…)

I said "oh"
I cry "oh"

Yeah I saw sparks
Yeah I saw sparks
And I saw sparks
Yeah I saw sparks

Coldplay's Sparks.

How crazy beautiful is that melody?

~


anyway.

went out shopping with Ashley today.

went back to Inai and happened to see Mr. Chong (how i missed Mr. Chong) Decided to drop in and say hi, which ended up with my sister and I sitting down and chatting with him for awhile. It was the first time in a long time i'd had intelligent conversation with another human being. But then, any conversation with Mr. Chong ends up intelligent conversation.

Then Mr. Xavier walks in and joins the fun.

We ended up talking two and a half hours!

and it would have been longer had my father not walked in and told us it was time to go!


it was really nice though. catching up. i think they kind of welcomed the distraction from paperwork. Nobody likes paperwork.


I took a picture with them (:


AND MR. CHONG GAVE ME A HUG! :D
i've never seen him do that!


AND THEN MR.XAVIER GAVE ME A HUG! :D
(but he's done that before we're practically family now haha :3)


It was sort of strange, but it made me feel ridiculously happy for some reason.


~~

I kind of hated my sister a while.

She told me it'd just be her and two other friends so I wouldn't have to feel like this obvious gigantic third wheel.

PRACTICALLY ALL HER FRIENDS CAME LIKE WUT?

yeah i felt like an obvious gigantic third wheel.

granted she tried to make me feel un-third wheel like and everything and i really appreciated it but still I was the oldest one there it's not good for my psyche.

her friends happen to be very sweet though, for which i was grateful. we played bowling (TWO STRIKES) and pool (FIVE BALLS IN THE POCKET!) and shot arm-crunching zombies in the archade.

saw FOUR form-fivers! :D
of course they were couples, so it really isn't that incredible, but yes.
always nice seeing friends. (:


oh and I bought a T-Shirt that says OL' SKOOL on front.
because it was cute and ten dollars.


~~~

all in all a pretty good day.




hm.

have the strangest urge to strum every single song i hear on the guitar now.
i think it's the passion kicking in.
