A round of roti canai

My team won the debate today!!! Woots! And guess who is the best speaker? Me, me, me and me! Of course, we probably wouldn't have won without Fel's help and Cedric's help! Gosh, I owe him a round of roti canai. But, I shall just pretend I forgot all about it. *laughs gleefully* Come to think of it, I think I had Cedric's help in all the debates I've been through. Hmmm... Though, still no roti canai whatsoever for him! Hmmm...perhaps for myself one day.

Purplification and cheese

I blueify, orangify and now, I purplify my blog. First of all, why purple? Because purple is a colour that looks good on my blog and it looks good and cheesecake. Mmm...blueberry cheesecake...*Snaps out of mouth-watering daydream* Not only that, I decided to go vector as well, why so? Perhaps I'm just feeling the hip-hop swing? Hmmm...

First of all after all the purplification talk, a big thank you to Cedric for lending a helping hand with my debate! And no, that cheesecake is not for him, he did not deserve anything as he did not, let me emphasize on it, he did NOT come up with 5 POIs that I did not have. So no kolo mee, no roti canai or whatsoever for the octopus with the green hair. Tomorrow's motion will be, "This House Bans Cosmetic Surgery" and I am the opposition. And next Tuesday, I have another debate and this time, the motion is, "This House Bans Child Labor" and once again, I am the opposition.

Cheesecake... blueberry cheesecake... why do I have a sudden craving for mouth-watering, scrumptious, creamy blueberry cheesecake? Must be the effects of purplification.

Busy busy Loser

What a busy, busy, busy week it is!!! I am involved in planning the budget for the coming 52nd Anual General Meeting and Junble Sale for RC. Not to forget our very first meeting conducted by us Form4 RC board this Saturday. I stayed back yesterday and went for shooting today but unfortunately, there was no shooting because of something about nobody there with the keys to open the amoury. I will be staying back tomorrow for debate discussion which the competition is held this Friday. I will be staying back on Thursday for mooting discussion and on Friday for another of our Form4 board RC meeting. Busy, busy, busy week!!! Our topic for debate is, 'Banning of cosmetic surgery' and my team consisting of Rhema as first speaker, Nishanti as second speaker, Felicaity as reserve and me as third speaker are the opposition.


Anyway, I went for prefects' camp last Friday until Saturday at Camp Permai. We stayed in Cabin 2 and my cabimates are Ashley, Aazean, Melanie, Jacintha and Sharon. The camp was in deed very, very fun I must say. The food was great, the activities were great and the cabin was great. We did our obstacle course in two days because it rained halfway during the first day so we continued the next day. My group consists of Claire, Neeja, Clarisse, Anabelle, Zahira and me! We were the odd group out that named ourselves Losers. Why so? Because Losers meant that we had nothing to lose, rain or shine we are together, nothing to lose but to aim higher, we are the Losers. Okay, weird but...nevertheless, the Losers became best group for the camp!

Money and complains

Money, money, money in and money out... I've been officially told by the seniors that I am the treasurer 2007/2008 of Red Crescent. Well of course, if anything happens my post can always be taken away. So money, money, money it is, stingy, thrifty and money-faced must be what I am all about eh? Since I am the treasurer for Red Crescent and the Debating Society as well. Hmmm... So basically it's like budget, budget, budget. Meaning, people give you RM0.10, you ask for RM1.00 and when people ask RM1.00 from you, you give RM0.10. Anyway, coming up will be our Red Crescent telematch on the 5th of May and on the 22nd of May will be our Anual General Meeting! Lots of preparations to be done indeed and our very first meeting hosted by us this Saturday! What a pack! Back to the moral of the story, Gabrielle Jee is all about money, money, money in and money out.

I haven't been blogging consistently. Yes, I know and that's because I have alot in my hands now this year appart from studies. Speaking of studies, I made the most riddiculous mistakes in Mathematics that caused me 14 precious, precious, so so precious marks! For my cumulative graph, I miraculously summed up 10+9=15 and the following after that sum was all wrong and hence, my ogive was wrongly drawn! Noooooo! Depressing I tell you. So I was only given 3 marks for that section for drawing the y and x axis and for the first part of the cumulative frequency that I counted correctly. $#^%!#@!!! And off flies another mark at my geometry part, I actually used a pyramid formulae for a prism question! Off flies another mark at this linear question to find the values of P and Q. I found P of course but I miraculously forgot to substitute to find Q. And one question clearly states x<7,>

Broadcasting my results (though not comfirmed for certain papers but just an earlybird broadcasting so there...) I got a 72 for Additional Mathematics thanks to the blindness of copying signs and answers over to the answer column wrongly and thanks to 'intelligently' adding and subtracting 'correctly', "eg. 2x+x=5x". I got an 82 for Physics, seriously I never adored this subject, my least favored among the three science subjects. I got 91 for Biology, 85 for Mathematics, 100 for Moral, 93 for EST and 90 for English. Then I got an 81 for History, I got full marks for objective and close to full marks for structur but for my essay part, I had the points but my teacher claims because the head of my sentence was wrong and even though the point was in the middle, no marks given, so, a beautiful 10/20 for my essay part. I got a 76 for BM, 'terrific' marking from the 'terrific' other BM teacher that marked my paper. I'll elaborate further about this BM teacher in the next paragraph. And I got 86 for Chemistry and guess what I did, a really stupid mistake...I wrote 'M' for magnesium! How could I write a 'M' when it clearly stated in bold, "Mg"?? %&$#! Such lousy marks I obtained this term. I think that's all so over to the BM teacher...
So, we had two different BM teachers marking the papers in our class. Those who wrote about Gejala Sosial had their papers marked by Cikgu X and those who wrote about Kebakaran Hutan had their papers marked by Cikgu Y. So, Cikgu X one of the lousiest BM teachers I can think of honestly, she can even mark the points that you write (which are correct) as wrong just because they are not formed the way she wants and she circles your capital letters and tell you that they are not in capital form. Not only that, she insists that 'doktor' must be written as 'Dr.' She grades papers really lousily and honestly, I doubt her qualifications as a BM teacher and she claimed she went for all those courses but is she sure that she's actually telling our class the right thing? Not only that, what sort of BM teacher doesn't know that Karangan A is allowed to be over 120 words and insists that it MUST be less than 120. Preposterous bullsh*tting teacher.

So, due to the unfairness of this terms BM marking system. I demanded that all 42 papers were to be collected back and remarked by one teacher only. There are several more reasons to why the marking was obviously unjustified based on few other grounds which are rather provacative hence, I am not mentioning them here but I have already mentioned them verbally this morning in class. Frankly speaking, we got good teachers of course but lately, all my class seems to be getting are lousy BM teachers. I demand for a good one who can teach and mark.

Gabrielle asks, Aaron answers

The most fascinating and mind-juggling survey I had ever came across and the most fascinating answer I had ever heard from somebody.

I asked the question...
If there were two girls that liked you. One was ugly and fat but she liked you for who you are and another was pretty and slim but she liked you for your looks. Which one would you pick?

Aaron Chan answers...
What a hard question. The pretty one. Because the ugly one likes me for who I am so when I get sick of her and dump her, she'll get hurt. But the pretty one would dump me instead when I get ugly. This sounds weird...

Tagged...great

Was tagged by Samantha Si to divulge six weird things about me. Grr... I am so going to emanulate the colour purple now.

Rules:
Each player of this game starts out by giving 6 weird things about themselves. People who get tagged need to write in a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state the rules clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. After you do that, leave them each a comment letting them know you tagged them and to read your blog!

1. I get excited over puppies.
2. I find it amusing when Paris Hilton got an iron rod driven through her head.
3. I take a long time to make up my mind even when I have to decide to have chicken pie or stew pie for tea.
4. I don't like sleeping but I don't like waking up either.
5. I have a severe obsession for teddy bears no matter they are blue or purple or black teddies.
6. I actually answer to tags.

Now to tag people.
Cedric, the judo-ing Octopus

Chicken rice and orang utans

Yes indeed, Jonas Gumis is 16 years old today and he celebrated it with polysterene-packed chicken rice that his father bought. He calls that a sob story. Unfascinating. Anyway, so I decided to be a very kind *coughs out loud* person and let him have a seat in my blog about his birthday. Yes... it is an orang utan, a very hairy orangey one too (hey, it matches my orange blog!!!) and it's the only thing I could think off to photo-edit and not to forget, the birthday boy acts like an orang utan too so there. Happy Birthday! Cherish your first and last appear in my blog, Jonas.
PS: one of them is Jonas but it doesn't matter who is Jonas anyway. The one that acts more like an orang utan is him, so there.

I watched 300 and Bridge to Tribitha (is that how you spell it??) yesterday with a couple of friends and honestly, 300 was the most boring and unfascinating movie ever. At least Bridge go Tribitha was slightly better. There, I ran into Aaron Chan. Who 'politely' jumped queu in front of me and 'politely' stuck his fingers into his ears when I was speaking until I had to 'politely' yank them out.

I also noticed the unusual toilet conditions at Star Cineplex. Of course, I meant the ladies toilets. The lids cannot be fully lifted up and the sitting toilets were unusually low, about 20cm off the ground only and they were constantly wet as if someone just had a shower!

Petronas green

Aaron is so adorable!!! Who wouldn't swoon at a face like that??? Hahaha! Anyway, I just got my braces fixed for my lower jaw last Thursday. Originally they were purple but just as I was about to get off the dental chair, one of the brackets fell off. So, they had to redo everything and there was no more purple bands left. So, the dentist went, "Petronas green ok ah!" I only have seven brackets fixed on my lower front jaw. If Sam had her braces done, I bet she would have purple brackets! Ah, I am such a loyal customer of Petronas Malaysia, wonder if they would give me special discounts next time when I visit the petrol station or if I get large sums of bonus if I ever work for Petronas Malaysia in years to come. Hmmmmmmmmm... *wonders*

That's all I have to say for today. Facing a very busy week ahead with mooting competition coming up this May. Wonder if Sarawak Club is ready for our dinner by May... butter prawns... *salivates*. Oh wait a second, having braces might ruin my appetite for delicious, buttery, creamy, scrumptious, juicy, mouth-watering butter prawns due to certain difficulties in chewing which, I will not mention. As Cedric had already complained about it being disgusting to his knowledge.

I had been posing around the place with recycle-able goods ranging from bags and bags of tin cans to heaps and heaps of towering ancient newspapers for my Moral kerja khursus. It's like I suddenly became a model and the government wants to see me, a model, *cough cough* doing some charity work of picking up scraps of litter and dropping it into the recycling bin with style and flair that would get me an A for my Moral kerja khursus.

Note of the day:
I am now fringe-ed!!! *ruffles hair proudly*

It's a post!

Two days ago, I had a new member added to my family, Pooky the bear. And oh gosh, I did not name it Pooky, the Russ manufacturer named it Pooky of all the possible names that could have been for this unbelievable adorable teddy bear. Appart from any so call unusual names besides Rhe who's planning to name her puppy Pickles, I have nothing further to say. I hadn't been blogging much lately due to the horrifying fact that exam is just this Monday! Physics and Bahasa Melayu all in one go and come to think of it, my class hadn't had a Bahasa Melayu teacher for practically a month plus. We just got a new teacher last week. Splendid, we can finally enjoy ourselves doing Bahasa Melayu work.
Couple of weeks ago, it was Chinese New Year and sheesh...check out the date today that I am blogging about it. So as usual, stacks of red packets came flying into my pockets and for the first time I actually gambled for real. I started off with Rm1 which, increased to RM10, decreased back to RM1 and increased to RM5 and that was when I left the gambling table. Other than that, it was basically lots of visiting all around the globe, hang on I was just exaggerating. All around Kuching. From my relatives to my friends. This year I actually got hardworking and did extra visiting to certain Thomians' houses and it seems like it's all about gambling in every single house. I won a few rounds of Poker due to my great Poker Master, Rhema Basil and I passed my 'knowledge' down to Jason though I don't think it was passed down very well. My parents threw and open house on the Tuesday of New Year and the Friday of New Year. On tuesday, it was for the Malays and we served basically Malay Food on a New Year, how ironic can that get. Lots of curry, curry, curry and curry, everything seem to look like curry to me. On Friday, the food varied from roast pork to roast duck to some other stuff which looks like food to me. Basically, I think that's all I have to say about this year's Chinese New Year.
