have a kit kat!

Bonjour! This would be a brief update (I suppose). Sat for an 8-day exam which ended on 25th May. The papers were quite grueling. Yes, it's tough and I know I haven't been studying earlier, so I realised that consistent work (which was what I did not do) pays off. Got my results for micro- and macro-economics and it was a mild shocker. Expected the former to be much better than the latter, but what I'd gotten was the opposite. And the reason I was a little dissatisfied with myself was that I spent the most time revising for microeconomics. It's quite a letdown, actually. Still waiting for the results of the remaining papers... Meanwhile, had time to chill out for awhile after mid-year's... This is for an avid fan of doraemon while the other's for a friend who loves cheese.

This, together with a bunch of carnations was for the advisor of Sixth Formers' Club.

Went to Titiwangsa with a bunch of church youths (we call ourselves Footprints) on the 31st in the hot afternoon. They played games there and had lunch after a session of 'torturing' members by the leaders. I was excluded. Am behind the lens ma....

That's it for now... one more week until school reopens... gotta start doing homework... agh! Anyway... the people in this photo (taken by our form teacher/the school guard) is who I see every other day in school, just so you know... warm colours. well... nah... my classmates lah. Unfortunately, one of our friend has Multiple Sclerosis and is unable to join us in class. Hope he will recover soon. Tough guy he is! Keeping you in prayer! Stay strong, you've still gotta sit for STPM!

interlude.

Thanks for coming over. Will update later. Easter was great despite the frustrating, pain-in-the-arse practices and rehearsals.

Important MUETters coming soon...

Adeus.

This is it.

August 17 , Sunday, USM Penang - sister's convocation

this sure looks like an olympic torch eh?
loved the 2 bouquets we brought there.
bought the flowers at a shop in PetalingStreet. packed them a day before our trip up north. strangely, they do look kind of Greek(I think I need to rephrase this...but never mind that).

scorched : came back with a sunburn and I've got red, itchy spots on my forearm for days.
had fun photo-taking though. Sunday's weather was good, really.

yeah, get work soon!

our HOME in Penang, vistana hotel. sure hope it won't be the last time we're staying there.
it's been 6 years already... gee...

raining the day after sis' session
talk about God's perfect timing huh?

Finally I got to watch The Dark Knight, despite hearing someone complain that he did not know what the movie was about. It was good. Psychotic. Deeply moving. And I loved the way the narrator(or was it Officer Gordon) talks when it was coming to an end, about Batman being Gotham City's silent guardian and all... but not the hero, the villain instead. sigh.

sheesh.... homeworks kept on waiting, waiting... waiting for the time to devour me.
(a la John Mayer)

August 19 , Badminton tournament for all sixth formers.
do not feel like bringing up the past. sadly, I was beaten by an olahragawati sekolah. It was fun, I know. The next day I felt like I'm a bag of stones. Getting up was tough.real tough.

August 21 , former classmates(form 5) gathering up a hill called 'Look Out Point' near Hulu Langat. Response was good this time. got to meet up and talk for a while. yea, it was good.

August 23 , titiwangsa family photoshoot : sister's of course.

I figured I wandered away...

Dynasty Hotel : Farewell Party for the Seniors.

decoration was minimal, but nice... cuz 'we' did it. fussy people, I know. but, it was a joy, such a contentment to savour that. by the way, sis and I custom-made this guest book. glued the ribbon. wrote the front cover. that's it. the prom was alright for me. good in a sense that we benefit from the exposure( pun definitely not intended ). nevertheless, there is still room for improvement. the organising committees have done a good job, but I have a feeling that we're still far from being able to adapt to the 'prom culture'. anyway, it was a good start for a school like mine. and mind me, my feet sure felt funny wearing 3-inch heels.

no photos available, my apologies : )

August 29 , NatDay Celeb in ChongHwa.
had to carry and wave the state flags. darn, was it tiring. no further comments.

okay, back to the present

had my hair cut real short. a load off my head and shoulders. hope to meet up with long-time buddies soon. gah... everyone's busy. exams are due in October.
lots to read. lots to do. lots to catch up on. (the haunt never ends)

that's all for now.


until then, ADEUS!

progress rep.? nah.

Two kittens found, July 5th, Sat. I prefer the greyish white one. One young magpie found the next Sat(died a day later).

A new method for crafts...oh yea...

(letti litte forgot her title)

one word sums it all up : hectic



June 24 - 28

minggu koperasi : got this badge, and another, for free.
initially I requested the owner to keep both first so I can buy later.
since he insisted that I'd not have to pay...
thanks a lot, kevin!

some of the photos I edited using picture motion browser :



got these roses from a neighbour who's returned from Cameron's
whole bunch here.

June 30 : late, late Mother'sDay dinner at SakaeSushi



salmon was good.

school has been tiring since May. two more weeks until our first exam. sixth formers' club is doing okay. coming project: Farewell Party for UpperSix seniors. Am still in the process of cracking that nut ( accounts ). have yet to read up accounting doctrines for a presentation due end of this month. it's for tuition, mind that. Asikin who's joined L6A for the past month(or so) will be leaving to SetapakHighSchool. It's quite saddening, really, to see someone you've just known, now fostered a friendship, and soon, leaving again. ( the 2 friends from Selayang already left ChongHwa ) there'll be 21, or 20 of us after Asikin's transfer, starting Monday. I guess this would be final. And Yes, today I've finally finished reading The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. So far everything is all right. unable to tell details. drowsiness taking over. eyebags are somewhat getting darker and 'heavier' these days. without fail. I shall take my leave.

sekian. and adeus!

trivial trials

ain't they lovely?

Father's Day, June 15th, 2008

these were what we've had.

every end has a beginning ; and every beginning, an end.
make way for desserts! (not posted)

Flowers for Teachers' Day, June 20th

amazing grace

God put a smile upon our faces. by putting heavy rain on hold last Saturday. without any major glitches, we pulled through. though there were last-minute preparations, all went well according to plan. it was great watching them all dancing in synchrony, with friends agape...and the actors playing their part in the skit,with all the attention on them... all in a crisp, clear night.

'twas worth all the hard work after all. without prayer and faith, it would be just like any other event we used to hold in the sanctuary hall.

our deepest gratitude,
to our King of kings ; Lord of lords.

for making it all possible.

School is back. Everything returns. 2 new friends from Selayang joined L6A. now it's 15. assignments throng. lots of reading to be done.

until then.

gracias.

penggempar bumi. apr 12th.

was together with our youth group. and my buddy was here.

7.15p.m. - doors opened up wide for the public. you could've seen how they thronged in.
the rest who couldn't find a place, even the aisles were taken, had to be ushered to the overflow room.





sometime after 8p.m. - Praise&Worship session begins. with speakers blasting and the hair at the back of our necks rising, Planetshakers, a band-cum-organisation from the land down under gave their all for the One Above.

sorry guys, badly wanted to record the whole chorus, but I got only the first part of it, and it's not even complete, due to technical errors, no, battery ran out la ni...



now, here are some other pics taken :

whiff---

how wonderful, how beautiful,
name above every name, exalted high...

that's it for now.
had thossai telur bawang for dinner-cum-supper.
still tired.
gah...

click here for lyrics and here for the music(though not by planetshakers)

It's been almost nine years...

...since I last stepped into Petrosains.

It's been five years

...since I last spent time with two lovely, lovely friends of mine.

It's been a few months back

...since I last met them at the cinema.

It's been a week

...since I last kept in touch with an NS trainee.

And...

It's been four days

...since I last updated.

haha.

well then, here goes.

10th April, Thursday

11a.m.

sis and I headed towards SwatchShop to meet Xiowei. instead, she came from behind us and we both got a shock.

11.17a.m.

the three didn't know what to do since we've decided not to watch a movie. but still, we entered TGV and bought three tickets for The Water Horse, 11.20a.m.

1.15p.m.

movie was okay. didn't really like the creature. it's called Cruesoe, named after Robinson Cruesoe. it whines. ugh. went up to meet Carmen. and off we went for lunch.

about 1.30p.m.

Indecisive. the three who were in the cinema were frozen. there were less than ten movie-goers back then. then we walked into GenkiSushi, longing for a cuppa hot matcha.
Got to talk about the past. present. but a little of the future. We were all filled to our hearts', and stomachs' content.

stuffed

3.40p.m.

four of us strolled around looking for a place where we could just talk and have fun. we passed by Petrosains, a lot of times.
Somehow, somewhat, we found ourselves in front of the counter buying four tickets for four 17-year-olds. seven Ringgit each. and FYI we are NOT 18 yet.
the reception guy told us we have not much time since they close at 5.30p.m. and we're told that the average time spent in there is about 3hours.
We skipped the helicopter simulation anyway. It's boring. We knew it because we went there during Primary Three.




Going there at our age, is NOT a waste of time at all.

We experienced a Category One hurricane with wind speed up to 100 over km/h. Four persons fitted nicely into a cylinder-like chamber. All came out in one piece, but our hair was a mess.

Next, they have an earthquake simulation machine where we sit on a bench and experience 3 different levels of earthquakes : low, medium, and high. and you are forewarned, it's kind of scary, in a particular way. there's a light hung above the bench. and it swings, and swings about.

Nonetheless, there were lots to see and tons to be tried out.

supposed to see how many images are there when you adjust the mirrors to 90 deg or less. we didn't try though. Love this shot!

short, simple, sweet, Carmen's at the back, agh! Xiowei's still a bubbly character. love the way you laugh. haha. carmen's still as sweet as ever. I'll not forget we lost my sis and Xiowei TWICE. haha. stay sweet!

I can only jump 0.71 metres high. Those who think that Petrosains is only for students, make sure you eat your words back.

5.30-6p.m.

We're out. Went to buy some bagels home. Bought bread. And we parted ways at the LRT station. Xiowei took a busride home and Carmen got down at Setiawangsa.

love you guys!

This made my day. And I am tired.

Until then, adeus!

Been listening to Crowded House's Weather With You. I know it's a long time ago.
