Fire Erases History

Piece of history eaten alive by flames...
May be a little too late to be blogging on the fire at Sarawak Club that happened on Thursday but it's no harm to just blog! Read Thursday's Borneo Post newspaper to get everything in absolute detail. When my mom sent me to school that day, we saw the road being closed and at first we didn't know that Sarawak Club burnt down. We thought it was just a police inspection. When I arrived at school, Lilian was shouting that Sarawak Club burnt down. Turns out that it was caused by a gas explosion at the kitchen that sparked the fire at 3.30am. Since the club was built of of 60% wood, it was no surprise that nearly everything was gone including the roof. Even the games room got a little scorched. The pool, tennis court, basketball court and carpark were untouched. Now, I wonder where would our St. Teresa prefects' dinner be held at. It was originally supposed to be held at Sarawak Club but clearly, we were not going to be sitting on a pile of ashes and eating our dinner on the 18th of August.

Poor, pitiful guy...

"...all because of the Choice Daily incident!"...
I sinned...*gasp*. No wait, I pranked today together with my fellow friend, Rhe. What was the prank about? Simple, the plot goes on like this about this poor, pitiful guy...

First, it was Jason went to tell his friends that he ran into a girl named 'Eileen' at Choice Daily and she was staring at him. Then his friends misunderstood what he told them and digested the concept that Jason was cheating and the girl was hitting on him at Choice Daily. So, the rumor spreaded and spreaded until it reached Jason's 'non-existant' girlfriend and she instantly dumped him for cheating. Next, the girlfriend's mother went to call up Jason's mother for cheating on his daughter and scolded him and then Jason's mother scolded him as well. Then, Jason got very depressed and started failing his exams and it was all because of the Choice Daily incident and 'Eileen'. And that was the end to his extremely over-dramatic and miserable life.

So that was the plot of the prank. So we told that story to 'Eileen' and then now she's planning on calling Jason up to say she's sorry. And she really did call Jason up! It was hilarious! When Jason called me back, I couldn't stop laughing. I laughed for the whole day thinking about it. Actually, the prank started off with a stupid bed Rhe and I made during assembly time. We were trying to guess who was that in the tudung, whether it was Athirah or not. I bet that it wasn't and Rhe bet that it was, so ended up, I lost the bet and I was supposed to do a very, very, very stupid thing, which, never worked out. So, we changed and modified our bet into a prank and this was the product of our combined plotting and planning. I shall blog further on the phone call if she really calls Jason up. Anyway, due to me loosing the bet right, I had to do this stupid thing and tell 'Eileen' that I was on with somebody and 'Eileen' obviously didn't believe it, as I wasn't that sort of person and she laughed so hard until she cried.

Tarian Curtain...
Heard of tap dancing, cha-cha, ballet, tango, waltz, break-dancing but now, the latest and most hip dance would be the Tarian Curtain. Which, you would have to get a bunch of people and tangle yourselves up in the school hall curtain and bop to the beat of the Tokyo Drift soundtrack by Teriyaki Boys. Well, this group of Form1s were doing that when we Form3s were up in the hall for one of our lessons on Tuesday. Our teacher was like, "apa itu? Tarian Curtain ke?"

Puan Mary John's first offical Wednesday assembly...
Was a bore! Well, not to say that other official Wednesday assembly are interesting or fascinating but this was just another boring assembly. Can't they make assembly time more fun? Perhaps with more eye-catching speeches that could grab our attentions. I ended up talking to Rhe the whole assembly and rambling on with her whether that was Athirah or not. We did that for two assembly sessions in a row. Remarkable...

National Service 2

Q: National Service for the good or bad?
A: Good...erm...bad...no wait, GOOD.

1. Cures PC addiction which, is currently a serious case among teenagers. (espcially me.)
2. Saves money. (Internet bill, phone bill, reload cards and etc. etc.)
3. Gets you into tip top shape for free! (skip the Marie France Bodyline.)
4. Prepares you for World War 3. (train using guns mah...)
5. You'll get the opportunity of living a healthy and fit livestyle. (like an ideal health commercial.)
6. Encourages 'perpaduan kaum' for an even more harmonized Malaysia. (Wawasan 2020!)
7. No household chores for 3 months.
8. No parents nagging at you for being a couch potato.
9. Free stylish haircut. (Skinhead is very in-trend now.)
10. Free tanning. (no more fake orangey spray-on tans.)

National Service

National Service...
First of all, before I forget. Congratulations and celebrations to Kenny for getting selected to go for National Service. Oh hang on, maybe it was deepest condolences? Hmmm... Andrea didn't get selected for National Service and neither did Cedric. Lucky two I guess. Rhe was saying, she would rather squat in jail for 6 months than to go for National Service and Mich says she would rather pay the Rm5000 just to skip National Service. Going for National Service would mean Kenny would come back with a skinhead look, he ought to post photos of himself after NS on his blog. I would rather pick National Service anytime over squatting in jail, eating curried rice no matter how nice the curried rice is. What's so bad about National Service anyway? You get to learn how to use ammunition and get in shape. Doesn't sound to bad. Hey, I'm just looking at it through a positive view. Here's a list of 10 attempts one could try to get out of NS...

1. Get extremely obese. (They have a weight limit to enter NS. There was a guy who was over the weight limit for NS and he wanted to go for NS, so he went on a diet until he was under the weight limit.)

2. Faint and get a heart failure at NS.

3. Get a medical letter signifying your 'un-fit for NS' condition.

4. Commit suicide. (before NS kills you mentally and physically.)

5. Hide and never show your face until NS is over.

6. Get disciplinary action at NS and get sent home.

7. Insist that you agoraphobic/ enochlophobic/ metathesiophobic. (any NS-related phobias.)

8. Insist that you are a PC-addict and that rehab wasn't going to do you any good.

9. Be generous and spill the 5K from your pockets. (generousity is good.)

10. Pick the 2nd option, which is, squat in jail for 6 months. (jail got nice curried rice.)

~Awe of the day: Shun Ming smokes and is going for nurse training at Penang??

Aspirin...

Aspirin...
I didn't know I was allergic to aspirin! I had a headache yesterday, so there wasn't any panadol left, so I took an aspirin. Which, as anyone knew was an aid to headaches. Then, I went back to the studyroom to read a little bit of Geography and listen to some music. Then, several minutes later, my eyes started to feel irritated. I thought it was just one of the normal eye irritation that I would get when I was tired. So, I went up to bed without looking at the mirror. Then, few minutes later, my mum came into my room to call me dow for dinner and she got a shocked when she saw me. Apparently, my eyes and the area around my eyes were swollen and puffy. It was hard to look at stuff. They were like asking me, what did you take this morning? Did you take anything? I was thinking and then I said, "aspirin". Then, my dad and sis took me to Timberland Hospital. There, the doctor said that I was allergic to aspirin and that it was lucky that I only took one aspirin and not two. If I took two, I would have been admitted into hospital and on drip. My blood pressure was normal, my heart rate was faster and my temperature was higher than normal. So he just gave me eye drops and some allergy pills that would makae me extremely drowsy and I was to drink lots and lots of water to dilute the toxic. I slept more than 12 hours today. My mum canceled my theory class today and it's a 50/50 chance that I would go to school tomorrow due to my condition. Oh, and I didn't get to eat any crab because they forbid me to any allergy foods.

What a drastic month!

Mr. Su leaves STS...
Just as we were all getting used to Mr. Su being SMK St. Teresa's principal, he leaves! It was barely even two years. Now it is Puan Mary Jone. When Mr. Su was our principal, we prefects got to relax more because the discipline of the school was close to excellent. The teachers worked harder as well and money was never an issue for St. Teresa! Mr. Su threw many fund-raising projects and we earned lots. Take a look at the STS Band Concert, a huge success! Our food and fun fair, triple big success! He even renovated the school, making it look greater than ever. Mr. Su's farewell and Puan Mary Jone's welcoming ceremony was last Wednesday. Mr. Su dedicated a song to all the students and staff of SMK St. Teresa. His daughter, Claire Su, played the song on the piano. I remember the first time when Mr. Su gave his very first speech in our weekly Monday assembly, so very slow indeed! Then, gradually, as weeks flew past, his speeches got shorter and shorter. He was a great principal and had done many changes to our school.

Retiring as a Form3 Red Crescent Member...sobs...
Natasha said that we Form3 RC members are retiring at end of this month! Sobs! No more attending any RC meetings. What a sad month, retirement as a prefect, RC member and Mr. Su's farewell. Today we had our measurements taken for RC full uniform. It would be ready in 2 weeks time before National Day. Making a RC uniform means commitment to RC, which, I am ready to give.

Fight breaks news...

Watch the full version of a schoolgirl fight at:

http://www.malaysiakini.tv/podcast/fight/

You can find the exact video clip on www.kennysia.com except that it isn't the complete version.

Speaking of fights...
We recently had a fight in SMK. St. Teresa, shouting and screaming and cursing. It happened during morning session. Details will not be disclosed in here. Couple of weeks ago, there were gang fights in SMK. St. Joseph and quite sometime ago, some fight between a few boys at SMK. Kuching High. Lately, it seems like fighting in school has become a new sport in school. You would see more violence in a fight between guys but more screaming in a fight between girls.

Lungs equals lunch

Lungs equals lunch...
We finished our diagnostic test today for mathematics. Science was yesterday. Science was just so riddiculous in the diagnostic test. The first question showed a picture of an ant, a guitar, a measuring cylinder and a flower and the question asked, which one is an animal. The next page, one question showed a picture of a pair of lungs and the question was...

3.The picture above shows and organ. Organ X is a...
A. Lamp
B. Lungs <------correct answer
C. Lunch <------answer given
D. Lounge

So, conclusion is that organ X is lunch.


Swimming, tennis, badminton...
Planning to be going for swimming training every Saturday starting this week. Then, after PMR, I shall go with Rhe and Christine wants to learn how to swim. Will be going for tennis with Christine and Rhe after PMR too and badminton as well. My swimming had seriously gotten horrible after 7 years of stopping swimming training! Time to restart from the beginning... Christine was looking for a female coach and personally, I think it's rather hard to find one and usually male coaches are better. Jason offered to teach Christine...how to drown...

Corruption!

Pinned...
News spread like wildfire in school today after us 3A1 students discovered two sheets of looseleaf papers pinned onto the 1 metre by 3/4 metre abestos roof board that ripped clean off our classroom ceiling. Written on the two pieces of papers in pencil, was some sick-minded method of masturbation.

Corruption...
Just how corrupted can today's young generation get?? The two sheets of papers pinned onto the abestos roof board already shows that at the sheer age of 12-13, one can already have a mind like a sewer, filled with nothing but porn. This is corruption! Most people would expect these sort of stuff to be written by perhaps higher secondary school students not the lower secondary, especially by girls. These sort of cases usually happen in boys' schools but today, 3A1's discovery prooved it all wrong! 100% wrong! Why would one do such a thing? Out of peer pressure? Seeking fun, thrill or perhaps a rush of adrenalin? Perhaps, just a sick-minded attention-seeker, longing to be in the spotlight of the play? I believe that the girl who wrote it (most people suspect that it was a girl from 1A1) is probably a sick-minded attention-seeker who has a desire for all these yellow stuff. Speaking of 1A1. It is a class of talkativeness as it has always been a tradition but the year 2006's 1A1 is more like a class of pornography forum. This isn't the first time these sort of papers were discovered. Several months ago, there were several papers discovered on cursing one of the teachers in very, very, very heavy curse words. Censorship to the whole paper. This new 'notice' on the abestos roof board, seriously and heavily censored. Serious action ought to be taken on things like that. As a student, I don't think these sort of things ought to be taken lightly, if not it would grow into something bigger and bigger and soon, corruption spreads across the school like wildfire.

Pirates of the Caribbean 2
Went to watch the Pirates of the Caribbean 2 yesterday. It was a pretty nice movie. Sort of funny. The BM subtitles were just riddiculous! Pirates of the Caribbean 2 translated to BM became, Lanun-lanun Laut Karibbean 2 and Dead Man's Chest became Harta Karun Lelaki Mati. Isn't there like a better way to upgrade the standard of the translations??

Red Crescent

Inter-school Red Crescent Marching competition...
SMK. Kuching High swept like practically every single category. They sent 10 platoons for the marching competition and my school only sent one platoon. Supposedly, SMK. Kuching High marched really fast like, "studuastudua". They must have had excellent lungs. They used like two busses to get to the competition venue, wherever that was. Our Red Crescent Youth Unit sent a couple of the senior Form4 Red Crescent members to the competition. I told Joshua, "why Kuching High so kiasu, send 10 platoons!". And he replied with, "cool mah!" *rolls eyes*

Marching...
Went for RC marching today from 10.45am to 4.30pm. First, I went to check the RC notice board to write my name down for the RC uniform, which, is Rm97 all together. It's Community Month for RC, lots of community work like stuff to do with SSPCA and recycling projects. Next month would be Health Month with all the dancing projects. Talentine is on the 25th of August and the tickets are RM5. Then we marched rom 11.00pm until 12.30pm when we were given a short break until 2.30pm. I went to eat my lunch at Sugarbun with Rhe and Lil. Then Lil wanted to go to Hopoh, so Rhe and I just followed along. Hopoh is seriously not my ideal shopping spot, they got practically nothing nice. Then, we marched some more until 4.30pm. This was Rhe's first time marching. She used to skip practically every single RC meeting but now, hahaha, I managed to get her to stay! Adeline had a nose bleed while we were all at "senang diri" position and she didn't even move! Until Marianne, the commander, was like "you are bleeding!!". Overall, marching was pretty fun. I discovered that, hmm, I actually like marching despite the fact that it is under the sun (normally, I would complain of getting blacker from the sun.) Joining Red Crescent was certainly the right thing I did! Anyway right, while the platoon I was in was halfway marching, this guy in a car, screened down his window and shouted, "you suck!" and then went, "left, left, left, right, left!" and then laughed and speed away! Stupid guy! Never underestimate RCYU#8!

Some people...
Ya...they just don't know when to stop.Tell me that in lay-man terms, breaks and fractures are the same thing. I know in medical terms, they don't use the term break. It's like longitudinal fractures, horizontal fractures and secular fractures. Ya but from the way this girl was like acting and talking like she is so great or something, she was literally telling me that a crack and a bone snapped into half was the exact thing! I was trying to explain the real thing and she kept cutting me off. Rhe was trying to explain as well but that girl just literally pushed us to the edge of our limits! Then yesterday at school, we did the 'pateri' thing for Kemahiran Hidup and one of our group members was acting like a know-it-all and tried to do the whole 'pateri' thing on her own and not listen to what Rhe and I were saying and ended up, our circuit board was like smeared with 'pateri' at one corner. This is what that happens when you don't work as a team and listen to what others have got to say. Teamwork is important but just how often do you get that!

Eavesdropping 2

Eavesdropping Version 2
Another of Rhe and my stupid 'facts' on what one can eavesdrop on about in the toilets...
1) How many litres of water produced. (look beyond the horizon to get what I mean.)
2) Who's constipating.
3) Interesting news. (like what Rhe & I heard about Danny's valentine.)

Both of you are obsessed with each other!
Christine's stupid theory on Rhe and I because Rhe and I like to disturb each other with crap. So, that was Christine's theory. But Rhe and I claimed that Christine was obsessed with us that's why she eavesdrops on us. Well, we had sat with Christine since Form 1 and as fun as she was, we learnt all her eavesdropping signs, which, includes twitching of the ears....

Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt

One Black Forrest please...
Went to Coffee Bean last night after I went to buy this pair of Giordano pants. Got a new MNG bag yesterday too. Ignore that. Had a Black Forrest ice-blend for RM12.50. Nowadays, coffee at any coffee shop is just so not worth it. RM12.50 for a plastic cup of coffee beans, cherries, chocolate and cream that had been shoved down a blender and then later, the product from the blender is served to you with a flashy spray of whipped cream. RM12.50 could feed at a small portion of the third world already! I know, I know, coffee tastes great especially ice-blends. So last night, I was bored at Coffee Bean, I ended up listening to my mp4 player and watching pool on the television. My sister said that I was just like Ezra's 16-year-old brother who would just sit there and listen to his mp3 player with his drink and not talk. She wanted to play pool but we were certainly not hitting any clubs or pubs to play pool. Apparently, nobody ever thought of placing a pool table in a more family-enviromented place like in a shopping mall or at a coffee shop.

Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt...
"...Brad Pitt!" Those were the two words Rhe and I heard that jolted back our memory about the time when *Anna (name undisclosed due to privacy) said that Cornelius Ng looks like Tom Cruise and Bruce Wong looks like Brad Pitt. We laughed so much that we could have possibly laughed our heads off, and I meant that literally. Then, today we remembered the whole Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt deal and we went to ask Anna if she remembered and had a heck of a laugh.

Tudungs...
It's so hard to tell the Malays' appart from the back! All you see is white tudungs (in school I mean) and the white and blue baju kurung! Gosh, it's so hard. You ought to try to get a few people to wear identical tudungs and baju kurungs and shuffle among themselves and then, you try to tell them appart from the back. It's hard! Like yesterday during assembly, Rhe and I saw this girl in a tudung that looked rather like Athirah but at the same time, it didn't look like Athirah. So we weren't sure and I was going, "Athirah, Athirah!" in a loud whisper during assembly. And, there was no reply. Then, Rhe asked Edith, who is that girl in the tudung in front of Aisyah and Edith said that it was Athirah. When, the girl turned around, it really was Athirah! Maybe they ought to have like names embroidered on the back of their tudungs. It would really save us some work and energy having to make sure we got the correct person before shouting out the name or smacking the person on the back.

Awes of technology

You may wonder that is this...
Well, it's a ball not just any ball but a palm ball. Apparently, it's supposed to exercise your fingers and I mean that literally not figuratively. Getting the impression of muscular fingers? Well, that just does not happen. It's supposed to strenghten your fingers, guess those with weak fingers could work with one of these things. For your information, no, I did not buy that palm ball. I would rather spend my money on more beneficial items like *cough* shopping or perhaps going pc plug-in hunting. My dad got that palm ball as a token of appreciation from the TMnet company for I-have-absolutely-no-idea-why. In my oppinion, the palm ball serves better as a anger-management technology. Since it's made out of soft rubber, you could just wham the whole thing against the wall or somebody and best of all, it does not cause injury to you or the poor victim you threw the palm ball at. No damage means no money leaking out of your pockets to pay for the damage done. Isn't today's technology a marvel to the human mind? Just how innovative did we get until we improvise simple machines into complicated machines...

A pop to the dentist's...
Cavities? No, I do not get cavities, thank you very much. Plague? Big no, no. I stick to my dental hygiene routine for your knowledge. Was supposed to have my braces fixed on today but Dr. Alex said that they would put the braces on my upper jaw first after they straightened out and pulled back my teeth on the top jaw with the retainer that I am now using. Then, after that, they would fix the braces on my lower jaw. Anyway, the nurses were commenting about the cyrstal necklace that I was using. One of them asked if it was crystals and the older nurse was saying that, my crystals still couldn't outbeat the diamonds some lady wore this morning. Who wears diamonds to a dental clinic?? It turns out that my dentist supported Brazil at first, then when Brazil was out, he supported Portugal and then when Portugal was out, he supported Italy. Exactly what I did!

Two versions of music

There are two versions of music...
You must be wondering what am I gibbering about here. Two versions of music? Is there such a thing? Is that a rhetorical question? It isn't a thousand and one questions and the answer is yes. There are two versions of music and allow me to clarify...

Version One...
Simply classified as music that is in tune and does not cause one to complain but instead, allows one to sit back and savour in the brilliant masterpiece. Great, enjoyable, version one music could be baroque, classical, romantic, 20th century or even modern music. Just as long as nobody complains when they listen to it. Especially if it is out of tune! That is a big turn-off when you hear any music playing that is out of tune. Version one is music that can calm you down, make you feel at peace and soothes.

Version Two...
Simply listed down as astrocious music that is out of tune, annoys the ear. Simply enough to kill one's paitience, mood and 'damage one's auditory nerves'. Does the old saying, music is joy to the ears, sound familiar to you? Ironically, music is joy to the ears but would you class in screechy, off-tune, monotonous or perhaps irregular twanging of the guitar as joy to the ears?? I believe not! Let me share my experience on what version two music can do...So, today I was in school and brilliantly, I came down with a headache and even more brilliantly, simply sparkling great, I had to endure the twanging of guitars and pitchy singing when I entered class. And wow...it sure works 'wonders' to make me feel a heck lot 'better'. Come to the climax of the whole pitchy story, the twanging and wailing lasted for at least 3 hours. Obviously, my headache worsen. Though, it may have had been worship songs and praise for God and God may not mind pitchy singing but at least be considerate with other people if they mind or not. It is rather self-centered to go twanging away loudly in class. As you can see, version two can do more harm than good.

Dim Sum

Dim Sum
Went to Dong Guan this morning for some dim sum. The dim sum wasn't so bad but really, it doesn't beat Lok Tian dim sum. In Kuching, you could probably only get the best dim sum from Lok Tian. First impression when I entered Dong Guan..."so noisy!". Clattering of pots and pans all round, ramblings from all the four corners and clinking of chopsticks against chinaware. It was like some noisy China Town market. Positively all the noise ruined my appetite and mood for dim sum. It's fine if its noisy but that was simply too noisy! At least Lok Tian isn't that noisy, so you can actually enjoy your meal in peace. My mum ordered this particular dim sum which, she thought it was toufu but brilliantly, it turned out to be pig tripe in some sort of sticky sauce. You know, the noise made in Dong Guan doesn't even beat the noise you would get at any local food court like Siang Siang Food Court or Ho Say Liao Food Court.

Football talk...
It's the finals tonight...Italy vs France. Who do you think will win? I'm going for Italy. I got that Rm10 bet with Jas. Apparently, that crazy boy bet lots and lots on the finals, even played focus. I think Italy has a stronger chance of winning because their defence are pretty strong. I hope they do win, so I will get my Rm10 from the bet. Sam came to theory class today wearing a France football jersey. Sheesh. Her jersey had that chicken (France club logo) on it. At first, I was like, "what's that chicken?" .Aunty Jennifer agrees that Italy would most likely win the finals. England's already out! Woohoo! I was supporting Germany for the playoffs and yes, they won! I ought to have bet on that one, regrets, regrets. Well...I won't be watching the finals tonight as it's 3.00am and I got school tomorrow morning, so I shall find out the results tomorrow when I reach school. Italy will win!

Hush Puppies!

5 hour sleep...
My sis came back from Russia today. Early, early this morning actually at 12.00am her flight from KL landed at KIA. Then we went for kolo mee at Siang Siang Food Court and came home around 1.30am. I think after all the packing and gift-opening, I finally went to bed at a rough estimation of 4.00am and so did my parents and my sis. Then, I woke up that morning at 10.30am because we were going up to my grandmother's farm to visit her. Then, we went for lunch at Memories Cafe and then over to my grandparent's house. That Basset Hound picture, that's one of the dogs over at my grandparent's house. They have a German Shepard too. It's adorable, both actually. The Basset Hound, the first thing it did when it saw my dad was sniff at my dad's Hush Puppies. My dad claims that the dog was probably thinking, "hmmm..same scent like me!".

Dinner at Permata...
At 7.30pm, we went for dinner at Permata for some seafood. I ate so much, ugh, I feel so bloated already. My grandparents and Uncle Matthew joined in for the dinner too. Theo and her family are in Sibu so of course, they can't join us. Stella and her family had some stuff on. Jared and his family...well clearly, Jared needs to be taken care off at the moment. Then, after that, my sis went to Lea Centre to buy new heels because the strap of hers broke. Mine...well, one Vincci pair, the heel broke off! Argh! I need to go to Vincci's tomorrow. I was supposed to go to Uncle Jimmy's birthday party with my dad but ended up, I was feeling kind of tired after all the seafood so I didn't go in the end. Ah Bie is going to be there without me. Nevermind, she very 'guai' so she will help out to serve the food and she can enjoy her time with Sarah and Loren. Hehe.

You see this? *shakes fist*

Sushi...
Isn't that such a cute picture? Looks alot like the bear I have sitting in my glass cabinet. Anyway, about my day. Well, Christine made sushi and brought it to school for some of us to try. It was pretty good except that it was vegeterian sushi and I wasn't so keen on the vegeterian meat because it had this particular taste that lasts in your mouth. I wonder why people keep making sushi lately? I had sushi three times this week from three different people. Christine's sushi had carrots (which Chai picked out of her sushi), mayonaise (which Ashley was like why got mayonaise??), vegeterian meat (which Isabella claimed made her felt like puking) and cucumber (which no one complained about).

Church...and humiliation
Went to church this morning, sat with Isab, Adeline, Christine, Mich and Rhe. I told Christine about Jason telling me to tell Christine nice try but you failed. Christine showed me her fis, shook it and ask me to tell Jason, "you see this? I punch and I kick." Hahaha. Christine claims she had never been so humiliated. Hahaha. Then, she showed us how she stared at 'Jason' at Choice Daily, it was really funny. Anyway, at church, *name* (I shall not mention due to *cough* humiliation reasons) asked me to show her who was Marcellus. I was like, "you crazy ah? I don't want to stare at people!"

Lucky draw...
I didn't buy any lucky draw tickets so obviously, I can't win anything. Rhe won an X-Pack. Christine was begging Rhe for it and so was Claire. Christine was, obviously, first in line for the X-Pack but I think Rhe would probably use up the Rm10 credit inside. Ashley won a guitar! She only bought one ticket and she was really lucky to win the guitar. Lilian got..hmm..a pillow. Isaac got a guitar tab book. Lots of people won lots of stuff. Facial vouchers, high-tea vouchers, tea sets, hampers...etc...etc...Not very interesting to blog about. Skip this and proceed a Trinietie Production.

Hidden Side

I had given so many years in tolerating,
I had given everything,
In being someone I am not,
Pretending to be the perfect one,
Sometimes when I give an inch,
They would ask for two inches,
The more I gave, the more they asked,
I could never satisfy their greed,
Crouching in the shadows,
There I hid my inner self,
Drowning in a world of hatred and pain,
The more I tried to hold it back,
The more it tried to come out of me,
Like a raging fire it burned,
Writhing, struggling within me,
Never once I let my guard down then,
Never once I had admitted defeat,
These days it burned brighter,
Sometimes I just had to let it out,
Sometimes it scares me so,
As I watch myself breaking and falling apart,
As a hidden side steps out,
As black as the night it was,
As bright as embers its eyes burned,
Hatred and pain was what that brought it to live,
Sometimes when it’s just too much to take,
I would give it all up and let it take over,
It takes over my thoughts, my words, my actions.

Some day caused by Jason!

I lost to Jason Chen!!!
Noooooo! Why like that? How can Portugal lose? How can France win? This is all Jason's fault, must be he go curse me to lose...hmf! Now I'll have to pay this Jas Rm15! Unfair! Yesterday evening, we made that bet and then this morning, the first thing that came out of my mouth when I reached school was, "who won yesterday's match???" and then the reply came, "FRANCE!!!!" I was like going, "nooooooooooo!!!" Sean is telling me to play focus, bet Rm5 on Italy and France and then if I win, I get my money back times five. Big risk leh...if I lose then pay times five ah! France won mainly because of sheer luck if you ask me because they scored a penalty, making it 1-nil. You know, so far I had never gone wrong for a single match, predicted them right in straight flushes and now poof, I broke that streak due to saying that Portugal would win 1-nil! Argh, total opposite!

I'm sorry, you just look like Jason Chen...
Hahaha! Christine was telling Rhe, Mich and I this incident that happened to her at Choice Daily yesterday evening. She told us, she saw this guy who looks unusually like Jason Chen in the same basketball jersey she saw him use at the fun fair and he was wearing shades, plus he was dark like Jason too. So, Christine said, the guy was picking out pasta sauce and she was staring at him, because he looks like Jason. So she walked to the front, further away from him to stare. Then after she was done staring, she went to pick out some apples. Then the guy came over to her and ask her, "why are you staring at me?". Christine replied, "No, I just thought you looked like Jason." The guy started asking, "who is Jason? How you know him? Maybe I know him." Then, Christine was like lost for words, she replied, "I always hear my friends talk about Jason." Then when they went to the cashier, Christine said that the guy was still asking about who Jason was but she said, luckily her mum came to save the day and the guy didn't dare to ask anymore. When I heard the story, I was thinking...wow, just as si ai bin as Jason Chen! Hahaha, so we think most likely, a 90% chance, Christine had ran into Jason at Choice Daily. Oh, and she mentioned and immitated the funny confused face the guy was pulling when he stared at the pasta sauce, trying to make up his mind, which one to buy. So, just now at 4pm, I asked Jas if he did go to Choice Daily that day and it turns out, he didn't and plus he claims he broked his sunglasses anyway. Oh, and he told me to tell Christine, "nice try but you failed."

All my money on Italy against Jason...
Jason is so kind! Cough! Hahaha. First, the official bet we made on France vs. Portugal was Rm15 and then later towards the evening around 4.00pm, he said, he pitied me so he reduce the stakes to Rm10! Hahahaha. Then I just played around and said, how about 15 testimonials and Rm5 instead and he agreed! But of course not la, I keep to my word and told him he would get his Rm10 together with the next bet we made, which was on France vs Italy. I'm betting Rm10 on Italy. Sean offered to play focus with me. He bet that it was France would win with a 1-nil score but I turned down the bet because I didn't want too much of my cash at stake! Especially that France and Italy were pretty good teams. Italy had pretty good defence but I'm not too sure about France. But surprisingly France came back pretty strong this year, beating Brazil and Portugal and now 50/50 on beating Italy. I can't believe some people are actually betting through dealers, that's like big win, high risk not to mention that, it's illegal. Well, actually I just discovered it was illegal from Jas when he said, "how to sue the dealer if it's already something illegal?" Oh well, Italy just has to win! Jason can't win two times in a row!!! Jason really makes my day...*rolls eyes*

Spooked...

I witnessed somebody getting possessed today...
Oh my gosh, I am so freaked out. The exact word to use would be...spooked...I witnessed some girl getting possessed today during break time. That time I was in the classroom, talking with Rhe, Esther, Nisha and Lilian. Then, suddenly, there was screaming and Christine and Ashley came, they said that, that girl was getting possessed. I went out of the classroom and I stood about 4 feet away from the girl. I was speechless, she was writhing, struggling and screaming while a few girls were pinning her down. At first she was fine according to Natalie, suddenly she spit out the drink she was drinking and started to scream and struggle. It was all starting to attract a big crowd. Then, Ustazah Aminah came and placed her hands on the girl's head and was reciting something from the Quran and the girl screamed even more. She kept screaming and screaming. She was struggling as Ustazah Aminah continued on reciting from the Quran. I was standing there, dumbstrucked, it looked almost like it was a scene cut out from the Exorcism of Emily Rose in Malaysian spice. To me, it had a fake spice in it but at the same time, who would pull off such a prank right? Then, she sort of passed out and the senior Red Crescent members loaded her onto a stretcher and brought her to the sickroom. It was kind of scary watching it all happen before my very own eyes either it was really a posession or not...

Before the possession incident today...
Yesterday, the girl was walking up the stairs early in the morning to school and she fainted suddenly. She claimed she heard somebody call her name and then she fainted. Andreana saw the girl faint. Three days ago, during the school food and fun fair, the girl went into the haunted house and when she came out, she was acting all weird and like I had mentioned in one of my previous posts, she tried to commit suicide, jumping off the school hall railing but Hayyu's boyfriend grabbed her and pulled her back. Apparently, Hayyu's boyfriend was affected too and was something like paralyzed in hospital. How true is that, or is it just plain exaggeration, I have absolute no idea...

Hysteria or posessed?
The girl said that she lost her necklace in the haunted house and that the necklace was givent o her by a deceased person. So, she went back into the haunted house for the second time and couldn't find it, so she thinks that the whole posession thing was the deceased person's idea of a punishment for loosing the necklace. In my humble opinion, the logical, sensible side of me seems to think that it was probably psychology and trauma. Because she psychoed herself to be scared over the haunted house, so somehow she psychoed herself to think that there was something haunting her and then finally threw a hysteria. And because she thinks it was a punishment by a deceased person, so she somehow pyschoed herself into subconciously acting possessed. Or perhaps she was trying to seek attention, right? Who knows. I mean, I thought you wouldn't remember details of being possessed, you wouldn't even know you were possessed and why do the attacks only come at school? What about at home? Wouldn't her parents had noticed them and not send her to school? Why does her screaming sound like it was an act? Why? I have like a million questions playing in my head. Another part of me seems to think, nobody would pull of this kind of possessed jokes, so could it be real? It is sort of scary thinking about it either she was throwing a hysteria or really possessed...

Guys...

I'm so fat! Eh, you're so thin man, what you eat??
Oh dear, I thought it was mostly girls that went 'I'm so fat' but now guys as well? I just came back from Mrs. Sim's Grade 6 Theory class and there were these two Lodgians. One was complaining that he was fat and that why the other Lodgian was so thin. So, Lodgian 1 complains he is fat that Lodgian 2 is thin. Here's how the conversation went between them...

Lodgian 1: I'm so fat ah! Eh, you are so thin man, what you eat??
Lodgian 2: I eat alot ah! But I exercise and you don't.
Lodgian 1: I know you exercise. I saw you at KGS that day.
Lodgian 2: No leh, didn't. You must be blind.
Lodgian 1: Got!
Lodgian 2: Yala, got la, got la.
Lodgian 1: You ever score hole in 1?
Lodgian 2: Ya.
Lodgian 1: Hole in five?
Lodgian 2: Of course la! What's your worst?
Lodgian 1: Don't want to say. You?
Lodgian 2: Hole in 16.
Lodgian 1: I don't want to tell you mine anymore

*30 minutes later*
Lodgian 1: I'm so fat man!
Lodgian 2: No you are not. I'm so fat!
Lodgian 1: If you are fat, I am obese, super obese, extremely obese! How much you weigh?
Lodgian 2: 55kg. My BMI is 16.
Lodgian 1: I'm only 48kg but I'm fatter than you!

*15 minutes later*
Lodgian 1: Eh, you can wear slippers to school ah?
Lodgian 2: No la! I came home, sleep then I come here. (*note* He was wearing his school uniform and it was around 5.15pm that time.)
Lodgian 1: Wah, your uniform still so clean!

Yuck...he went home and never showered! Yuck! Then, they were fighting over asking me for an eraser, as if I would eat them up alive. Sheesh.

New South Wales International Maths Competition
It went pretty well. I'm not sure what I scored. The subjective part was harder than the objective. They were all kind of IQ questions, more to logic and common sense. Joanne Pei forgot about it and came late for it but of course, she still got one hour to do it like all of us. And Rhe was absent today! That girl! Hmf! Anyway, we prefects for Form 3 and Form5 retired yesterday so we all get to use the blue uniform today.

Buy rose for Gabrielle!

Annoyed...
Somebody annoyed me today, well at the fair too. She couldn't fix the circuit board and she told us that she would leave us and the chaos alone. Right after she said that, we clipped the last crocodile clip on and the bulbs lighted and there she came, crawling back on her knees. Sheesh. Then at the fun fair day, she was shouting at Jason, Danny, Teh and one of their friends, "buy rose! Buy for Gabrielle!" My immediate reaction was, "you shut up!" I can't remember what else I said. Rhema was telling the story over and over again in school this morning. I mean, if you don't know if I know them or not, still you shouldn't shout out like that right? Just so improper. And she told Rhe and I, to ask Agan to buy her a rose if he passes by and not to mentioned that she had asked us to ask him. Sheesh, ended up David told Agan, Nish played her part too. Gosh, that somebody is just one big pain. I don't mean to sound mean but even Rhe and a few other people agree. Plus that somebody accused Ashley and Valerie of breaking the letter W ornament yet when she was the one who broke it. She accused Ashley and Val infront of Puan Tan. Then she tried to make up with Ashley by trying to make conversations and touching Ashley's hair. Ashley just ignored her. Honestly, people rarely get on my nerves but this is like already beyond my nerves. I mean, that was the first time I would snap at people in a public place like a fun fair especially in front of my friends.

New South Wales International Maths Competition...
Crap! I just realized, it's tomorrow! 4th of July 2006! Shoot. I just found that out today, I was like...oh no, I am so doomed. So going to be humiliated. Imagine the horror if I open up the paper and I can't answer a single question! My face...gone forever! Hopefully I can answer, let's see, at least half or maybe more than that! Hopefully all! I still got the NSW International English Competition someday later.

Haunted house incident...
Five people fainted! One girl fainted and did not wake up for 2 hours, so they had to call an ambulance. She fainted right after she entered the haunted house. One girl, got possessed, she tried to commit suicide, she was climbing the hall railing and that was a one storey drop. Christine was so scared in the haunted house and she grabbed someone whom she thought to be Isabella but ended up in was a guy that she had grabbed tightly and screamed the whole way throughout. At least that guy was Isab's friend. As for Chai, some guy was so scared that he hugged her. Two years ago, one girl got possessed too...
