Understanding? Absolutely not! =(

Rediscovering YOU~

2010-05-01T12:48:00.000-07:00

In times of difficulty, it's always reassuring to know that He is always there for us!

This song really moved me and made me keep those words close to my heart. Thought of sharing it =)

Special thanks to Vanessa for posting it up ^^

So Painful it HURTS!!!

2010-05-01T12:16:00.000-07:00

Like the title? I feel so proud of myself for thinking of it ^^ (Don't worry, for those who thought of this phrase before, I'm not gonna claim it as my own =D)

Felt sorta awful last night so I slept in the middle of watching a movie in my room. Of course, I paused, where I left it so I could continue the next day. I was feeling so terrible, getting up to switch of the lights took so much of effort =S

Woke up this morning with a splitting headache. So awful, I couldn't bear to go back to sleep (weird huh?). I couldn't even stand up straight, I was in total kyphosis (hunched back) for almost 3 hours. Even when I took a bath to relieve myself, it still didn't work. (I usually love taking baths because that's when I can TOTALLY relax ^^) I was practically leaning my head on the wall while showering =S

Still feeling no difference, I boiled hot water and drank honey water. And it made me feel better ^^ Seriously, I see HONEY in a whole different light now! If I were to choose some survival food, it'll definitely be honey!

Okay, I'm not gonna start explaining all the nutritional benefits of honey but to put it shortly, HONEY IS AWESOME!!!

I was still feeling a little woozy so I finished my movie (Btw, it was 'Push') and started doing random stuff since I knew studying wouldn't do any good. Nothing will get into my head anyway (not that ANYTHING gets in when I'm normal =S)

I painted my nails blue a few days ago, so I decided to do something on top of that. Sure beat learning on the 'renal clearance of nitrogenous compounds' XD

I really like this design. Goes well on short nails too! Definitely going into my 'Do it again!' design list =D

Why was I having short nails? Easy, because I cut them! =P

Okay, why did I cut them? Because percussing with long nails is dreadfully painful! And also because in CC, everything must be neat and tidy XD

A little note for non-medical students who are reading this post:

1.) Percussing is when the doctor puts his/her hand on you and taps it with his/her finger on the other hand to make all those cool sounds! (mainly on the tummy, in clinics)

2.) CC - Clinical Competence, where we learn how to interact with patients by taking medical history and do clinical examinations (sadly, not an easy for an extreme introvert like me D=)

Atarashii no koibito~

2010-05-01T11:22:00.000-07:00

(for those who know Japanese) "WHAAAATTT?" =P

Btw, for those who don't know Japanese, it means "New Lover"

O.o!!! Is that even possible?! This is Joanna we're talking about here!

Hehe.. Let me take you back down memory lane when I fell in love at 1st sight last year..

Koi shita.. ~to fall in love~

(Btw, the unload-able picture is one of my dear Sho-chan with the headphones ^^)

Oh alright.. I didn't get a new (human) lover. Yes, the geek has got a new gadget. Don't get me wrong, I'm still loyal to my 1st love. In fact, both of them get along REALLY well (recording songs XD)

Okay, enough blabbering. I have been contemplating to get Snowball-chan (the model name is 'Snowball', you'll understand why later) for a while now, since last year and FINALLY decided to splurge and buy it online =D

Last Tuesday while 'studying', some unknown person called..

"Hello?"

"Hello, is this Joanna Tan?" ('Tan' pronounced and 'suntan, TAN')

"Okay, I'm near your area and I have a package for you. Could you tell me how to get to your place?"

"Alright.." I just gave the guy directions

Came down and got the package. Went back to my room and RIPPED is open! Neatly of course XD

JAAAN~!

See how I chucked my notes to one side in some of the pics? XD

See why it's called a Snowball yet? =)

I have yet to record anything proper with it since EXAMS are coming up D=

But I did try it out and the sound quality!!! *Sigh* Falls in love all over again~

またネエルアアト？

2010-05-01T11:09:00.000-07:00

Yea, I uploaded pics into my com so I I decided to uploaded the nail art pattern I tried last time (2 weeks ago) ^^

I kinda prefer the previous one I did. This one looks too galactic =S

Sam painted the Irish flag on one hand and wanted something else on the other hand. Since it's Ireland, I decided to draw rainbows and a pot of gold at the end ^^

She then felt super patriotic so I painted the Malaysian flag on her big toe~

Thanks for the Countdown~

2010-04-15T14:10:00.000-07:00

As for the remainder of today, I have about 37 days and 2 hours till my finals.

Progress made? ZERO~!

Ahah! Thanks to the daily countdown FB updates by Zaf, most of us are getting more and more paranoid by the day. Thanks Zaf! Really a wake up call.

I now make it a point to actually understand every single lecture of a day BY THAT DAY!!! No sleeping till then! Slack a little in the middle? Okay, but covering some 'not yet understood' past lectures would be great.

Did another nail thingy again. Too lazy to post the picture. I prefer the previous ones though.. Although this one looks pretty futuristic~

*Sigh* All the best to me~

Manzoku? Tsukareta? Nayamu? アアト！

2010-04-05T15:22:00.000-07:00

Okay, it's been a while. I realise I say that in almost every post XD

Well, I'm on my Easter Break now so I'm supposed to be 'free' for 2 weeks. Nope, I'm not travelling this time (sad on my part). Instead, I'm staying here in Dublin studying ~~(rotting)~~ in my room all day.

In my opinion, I only started studying seriously towards the end of the first week of my break. Sad.. I know, I've wasted my time by wasting my life away (FB and dramas are the 'worst' things on Earth! They eat my brain memory space!!!)

I know I've been thinking too much recently. Regarding my future when (actually the word to use is 'if') I graduate and some other more current stuff. I may sound 'emo' but that 'want to cry out of frustration' feeling comes almost every night =S

Still think Joanna is calm and composed? Truth is, she's a total wreck on the inside =(

At times like this is when one would fully rely on God's providence =)

Mom told me to go out and treat myself every once in a while. When she meant 'treat myself', I think she meant by 'shopping'. She did say go out and makan at least once a week, which I do! Every Sunday after church ^^

As I was saying, I didn't feel like shopping for clothes (weird huh?) and I recently got into this nail art thing which is pretty cool! Discovered a nail art set (as in nail polish with thin brushes, precision nozzles, etc) that I could buy. So instead of buying clothes, I bought that set =)

Today, I managed to do a pattern out of boredom =D

Heh.. Pretty cool huh? My fingers look so stubby when I macro-ed the picture. (Note: I just took a random nearby bottle to hold so the design could be seen on all the fingers, so the bottle does not signify anything ^^)

I did another design last week that looked like Avril's 'Girlfriend' pink with black checkers which looked pretty cool too!

I feel pretty satisfied today. Not only did I manage to do my nails properly (=S), I managed to cover 4 lectures (most I covered in a day for this whole break so far) despite waking up super late =D

Blank

2010-03-24T10:06:00.000-07:00

I'm seriously *blank*

Have not done ANYTHING productive for ages.

Study? Ahah! It being 'nostalgic' explains enough..

Ok, the only thing I did was complete my part of the HBS assignment. Even that's not worth to counter the amount of time I've wasted.

Start studying now? Oh man! Where do I start? *cries in corner*

Tsukareta..

2010-03-21T12:55:00.000-07:00

Sundays are usually the most tiring, yet satisfying of days. Just came back from lunch, which started at 4pm =S

Well, church ended a little later than usual today and it usually takes almost an hour to get to the city centre by bus. Was full though! <-- That's the satisfying part.

Now, I don't have to eat dinner! (I usually don't on Sundays due to the satisfaction ^^)

International Night Dance

2010-03-19T08:54:00.000-07:00

Sam was initially suppose to do the Kadazan Dance. There were problems with the timing and integration so she decided to scrap it and join the Chinese Dance. Used several nights to choreograph some of the dance moves.

Then IT happened.

The Kadazan Dance was back on! So Sam and May went to dance the Kadazan dance with their Kadazan Gang. At least I managed to find enough members for me KungFu Gang!!!

We had loads of fun. Sure, it was tiring. Serene had bruises on her knee that made it look as if I abused her =S

On the big day itself, we had loads of fun! No stress at all! (not that I know of =P)

It was such a great and memorable night! To show you how fun it was, check out my FB page =P

For the videos, check out http://pmcsa.webs.com/apps/videos/

Good job to everybody who made this night possible. It was a really rushed 3 weeks, but it all paid off. I'm really proud of each and every one of us. I mean, people would be amazed too, when they hear the background story of how we managed to pull this off within such a short time frame!

LOVES!!!

Mada Ikiteimasu!!

2010-03-19T08:22:00.000-07:00

I'm still alive! After not updating for almost a month!

Many things happened during my absence on blogger. The one thing I truly regret is, that I have not done ANY studying ever since I came back from CMF (during CNY).

So I came back from CMF and celebrated Chinese New Year. Went dinner and unexpected karaoke with a whole bunch of us! Sichuan Restaurant. Need I say more on how SPICY the food was? It was like, chopsticks on one hand and tissue on the other. The only sounds we heard beside small talk was nose sniffling and those hissing sounds people make when the food is really spicy. Kept on refilling tea too!

It came!

The International Night Recruitment Email by none other but our dear VP2, Murni, who was the Project Manager in charge. I replied, saying that I'm willing to dance and that I'm willing to HELP with MODIFYING or ADDING any of the choreography if I'm needed.

The next day, I met Murni who said:

"Hi Joanna! Can you help choreograph the Chinese Dance?"

"Eh?"

"Can ar?"

"But I said I can help modif-"

"But nobody has come up to me saying that they can choreograph Chinese Dance. And you know right, Chinese Dance is one of the MAIN dances to add in Malaysia?"

"Yea, but what about the other dances? Got choreographers adi ka?"

"Got already. Only Chinese Dance. We're gonna have a meeting tonight. If you can, can you come?"

"SWT!! Okay, I'll see what I can do"

.....

Soon that night was the first International Night Meeting. Meeting between the director, project manager, president, vice presidents, choreographers, props manager, etc.

Director: So, who's the choreographer for the Chinese Dance?

Evelyn: Joanna can do it!

Me: O.o!!

So it was decided! Joanna is the Chinese Dance choreographer!!!

CMF

2010-02-26T10:48:00.000-08:00

So yea, I attended to my first Christian Medical Fellowship Conference on the 12th-14th February.

It was held at a small place called Swanwick, Derbyshire (go check GoogleMaps). It's where a whole bunch (more that 300) of aspiring Christian Medics ALL OVER UK gather once a year to learn more on life as a Christian doctor and to have LOADS of fun!

We had 4 seminars. Mine were:

Psychiatry

Contraception

Caring for Dying Patients

Answering other Faiths

Those who are conducting the seminars are the people with all the experience themselves. Christian doctors who are still in practice or have chose to serve God in their respective ministries.

It was a great experience! I learnt so much from this conference!

We didn't just have seminars. Of course we had lots of fun and games, including the Ceilidh (Irish and some others) dance! It was so much fun!

Met so many new friends from all over the UK and had great fellowship with everyone. We met more people during meal time because we get to sit randomly at 10 seaters tables. Oh yea, the food was absolutely DELICIOUS by the way =D

On Saturday (13/2) night, we all stayed up and talked up till after 1.00am. One of our friends, who stopped by London before the conference bought roasted duck from China Town and shared with everyone. It was our 'family reunion dinner' away from home. At the stroke of 12.00am, everybody (well, the chinese) started greeting everybody HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! My first CNY away from home!

The next morning, my room-mates and I opened our door to see 3 decorated pouches with some sweets inside tagged with our name on it which said "HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!". Aww...

Didn't really get the chance to take so many photos because we were pretty much busy with our activities. Had to wake up super early, and by the time we ended, we'd be dead tired! Of course towards the end, we managed to take loads of picture (but still not enough for my standards) and posted them of FACEBOOK!

I'm most definitely going for the conference again next year!

Sekai ga Odoru

2010-02-25T00:20:00.000-08:00

Well I came back from the CMF conference. It was a blast! Shall, write on it next time when I have more time.

Things have been very hectic for the past weeks. And now, it has just just gotten busier for me as we have to perform for the college's International Night on the 11th March!

Details would come in the next post when I have time!

Off to class I go!

London Ikuzo!

2010-02-11T21:02:00.000-08:00

So I'll be leaving for London again in about 40 minutes.. Not exactly central London, but in a place called Derbyshire ^^

Will be going to attend the CMF (Christian Medical Fellowship) Meeting there. I'm really anticipating a great and fruitful time there~

~~And I get to ponteng one day of college! (like THAT'S ever a big deal for Joanna XD)~~

New Layout

2010-02-09T16:26:00.000-08:00

Just trying out a new layout ^^

Feedback?

This one or the one before? Can put less apps on this one though..

Amazing Grace

2010-02-09T14:52:00.001-08:00

Went to the 1st CU meeting for this 2nd semester. We had MOVIE NIGHT!

Popcorn, sweets, chocolates, fruits, snacks and drinks!!! Not forgetting the most IMPORTANT element of movie night, that's right... THE MOVIE!!!

Title: Amazing Grace

As it's title says, it really portrays the amazing grace of God in the life of William Wilberforce in his fight to abolish the slave trade. Based on real historical characters, well, I can say that this is one of the most inspiring movies that I've watched ^^

Juuken Kekka!

2010-02-05T17:12:00.000-08:00

So yea, a day before me results are said to be published, my classmate came BANGING on our unit door. Out of curiosity I peeked out of my room door to check out on what was happening.

"RESULTS OUT ALREADY!!!"

Seriously, my heart dropped. I felt the blood draining from my face.

She told me how to check the results, so I went to my computer and saw the link... It was RIGHT THERE! Just a click away for me to discover my bright or dark future lying ahead.

Before clicking, I prayed. Prayed REALLY hard. I was desperately crying out (in my heart) to God. "Oh God! Just let me pass this exam. I know that I did not do well this time so just a pass in all my modules would suffice"

I kept on praying as I clicked on the link...

The first word I saw...

PASS

"Thank you LORD!" I couldn't thank HIM enough! Gave a great sigh of relief and kept on saying "Thank You" while I read the details of me results.

Well, they weren't really that great of marks.. Just borderline pass. But I'm somewhat content. Will just have to work harder and smarter!!!

Manzoku

2010-02-04T07:30:00.000-08:00

I feel kind off satisfied today. Woke up this morning on my own at about 9am thinking "Ah, just another day to pass by" then I started to continue reading a book I borrowed from Hosanna. My automatic alarm rang at about 10am. Then I realised that I totally forgot to switch off the alarm. Well, it was a good thing I forgot. If not, I'd be reading all the way till noon.

Kept the book and was about to mandi then I though "Since it's still early, should I go anywhere?". I realised that I have not been shopping as planned (one part of my agenda for the 2 weeks holiday). My broken pair of slippers needed a replacement. The 2 weeks is about to end anyway...

"Should I go shopping?"

"Un! Yes I shall!!!"

Determined, I got out off bed and headed to the bathroom. Had my breakfast (more of branch), drank a whole lot of milk (expiry date soon =S) and left for Dublin 1 (for those who are unaware, I live in Dublin 2 =D)

Bought a whole lot of stuff and paid a whole lot of money (I won't tell here. Too guilty). Oh well, at least I'm sort of satisfied from what I bought (went to the fitting room 3 times I think >.<). I shall try to refrain from any form of leisure spending for the next month (emphasis on the 'try to')

I suppose that's all for now.. Results tomorrow!!!

Matta?

2010-02-03T15:54:00.000-08:00

Hello~

Missed me? Haha I was kind of busy for the past month (?). Well, exams are over. I'll just have to worry about my results which are by the way being released on Friday!!! Nerve Wrecking!

Did I mention that I had a White New Year? Haha YES I did!!! It was so snowy and cold in the beginning of the year. It's getting warmer though *joy*

I'm on my 2 weeks semester break right now.. Everybody either went back to their respective countries or travelling. Joanna wants to save money since she's going to UK for the CMF (Christian Medical Fellowship) meeting for CNY, so she didn't go anywhere. I'm sort of alone here la..

This week I've been pre-occupying myself with preparations for the Praise and Worship for this coming Sunday. I'm sure it's gonna be a great time for us and the whole service =D

Had our practice last night (ok, by nowit should be night before last =S)at Abraham's place. Will have our last practice at church on Friday evening ^^

Well, that's much of a brief update for now ne? Haha~

つずく

2009-12-23T18:25:00.000-08:00

So yea, for once in my life I actually successfully BAKED COOKIES! Well, assisted Tina using my 'theories' on what and how much of ingredients to use. Again, I shall post the photos in FB when I come back.

Speaking of coming back, I'M GOING TO LONDON later today!!! Will leave home at abt 4.10am to the bus stop with the girls and take the 4.40am bus to the airport. Plane would depart at 7.10am. Apparently, London is really cold! To the extent that the snow on the ground is 10cm thick! I'm waiting with anticipation.

So why am I awake at 2.30am when my bus ride is like 2 hrs away? Well, we had a Christmas party today! Yummy food, rushed laundry, heart-warming and emotional moments followed by a drinking session. By the way, we had Baileys and another sour apple-flavored spirit (forgot the name). I only drank Baileys ^^ Me likes <3

After the quiet and 'relaxing' drinking session we have our very own clubbing session in our KITCHEN!!! They were still at it when I started composing this entry but they've now come into my room and started a girl talk session >.<

Ok, time for me to sign off for now and join them. Will be back hopefully when I'm back from London =3

クリスマスです！！！

2009-12-23T04:17:00.000-08:00

Ok, everything that I mentioned in the previous post has ended! I'm sort of 'free' now~

I did highlight sort of. Well, I'm not COMPLETELY free. I still have to study for my exams which are starting on the 11th JANUARY!!! So near, yet nothing is covered so far =S

Honestly, I'm feeling really worried for my studies. It's like I have no time to study at all! Not that it's on purpose. I have other stuff to do also =S

Ok, something to be excited about...

IT SNOWED!!!

Well, you can't see snow on the ground since the temperature is still not constant. But you can see flurries coming down from the sky every now and then ^^

How it started? On the last day of college!!! Ok, this is how it went.. Sam, May and I wanted to to go the Christmas Market after college but we were not sure whether it was open or not. We thought of just dropping by to check it out. After walking past Grafton Street, it started to rain hail!!!

Don't worry, it's not the kind of rare hail you see in Malaysia when giant deadly ice rocks come falling from the sky, ready to kill you. It's like rain drops, only in solid form. Sam and I thought they were really cute, being round and tiny ice blobs that we've never seen before UNTIL.. some it the side of our eye and O.O!! THEY REALLY HURT!!! *cries* It's a good thing we had out waterproof jackets on along with out safety eyewear, GLASSES!!! XD

So yea, back to the story.. When we crossed the bridge, the rain got worse.. So we decided to scrap the Christmas Market idea and head for warm shelter... Jimmy Chung's! We had our Chinese buffet. Ate till we were so bloated, May and Sam could not move.. For the details, check out my photos on FB.

After that, We went to Penney's for a VERY short while because I had something on later. Some happening occurred there. Sam was abt to take of her jacket, when she realised that there was NO jacket to take off!!! O.O!!

She was like OMG! Ran downstairs to when she thought she left it. Thank God she recovered it. Quite fortunate since she left at the jacket section and someone might have taken it, thinking that it was for sale.

About the something I had later, I volunteered to be one of the photographers in charge of taking photos of the Pharmacy Society Ball! Taking pictures is SOOO fun. While I was indoors taking pictures, Sam msged me saying that its

SNOWING OUTSIDE!!! >.<

And the Ball was already ending. All the pics I could take by that time were people dancing. Out of fustration (and sleepiness, I was kinda bored when not taking pics) I went back home with LOADS of pictures... I saw SOME snow but it ended by the time I got out of the taxi D=

Continuation later when I feel like it... =P

2009-12-06T01:48:00.000-08:00

Many things happening for these 2 weeks. Last week, my friends and I helped out with the PMC "Farewell for the class of 2012". It was THE BOMB!!! I was helping out with the deco and ushering later at the main event. It was SUPER TIRING but was SOOOOO WORTH IT! Sure, I has sores on my feet but thank God I had no blisters. It was a great experience.

All of the 'workers' were complaining at the main event because all were hungry but coudn't eat.

BUT...

By the time everything was over, we headed over to the Milin House kitchen and has a FEAST!!! We had so much food remaining we had to bring not some, buut LOADS home! Imagine a container with dimensions 30cmX22cmX8cm... Now, imagine 6 FULL containers!!! Filled with food. And that was just for a group of (7) us. The others took filled containers too! XD

OK, time to study! Last Card Signing next Friday along wif several other events too.

Tomorrow on Monday, theres this Chocolate Ball! Apparently it's one of the biggest and most happening event held in the College (apart from the PMC Farewell and RCSI Ball). UNLIMITED CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN!!! I really hope I make the readers who are not going so jealous.. =P

On Friday, after CS, I'm helping out with the Christian Union Christmas Carol Service. I'm handling the lighting for the sketch and am leading praise and worship with my friends ^^

Not to mention, I have MCQ for the weekend @.@

Ah, I really hope and pray that God will help me throughout these busy times.

KITAAA!!!

2009-11-28T19:20:00.000-08:00

I'M BACK!!!

Well, sort of..

Well, I think it would be impossible for me for me to share my journey throughout these 2(?) months. So, if you want to know about it, just ask me.

MSN fails at my place due to the stupid uni proxy. I do have skype though. So please add me at joannajanice.

Its currently 3.30am and I'm wide awake. Must be the green tea. And I have church tomorrow!!! Well, later today =S

I'm currently at my friend, Sam's place. It's kinda like a sleepover. Only that nobody is sleeping. Well, except for mommy, Eunice.

Ok, I suppose that's all for my update for now ^^

Hectic

2009-08-28T06:12:00.000-07:00

Mom keeps telling me that there's so much left to be done but I still can't point them out. Ok, some of the stuff in my 'To-Do' list still has to be accomplished but that's all I can think of..

I ACTUALLY took the time and calculated the days left to my departure...

26 DAYS!!!!

*cries* I don't wanna go so soon! What have I done with ALL THAT FREE TIME!?!?!

Tomorrow is going to be Last Minute Shopping and Wardrobe Cleaning DAY!!! At least I won't have to buy a ricecooker since my mom's friend is gonna give me one as a fareell present~

Thank GOD for caring people!!!

Even my friends in the UK and Ireland are already awaiting my arrival and checking on me. My parents call me Blessed bacause God has been with me EVERY step of the way. I really did feel HIS presence with me, especially for these two years!

If it weren't for Him, I think I would already be suffering from a nervous breakdown and won't even come close to Medical School.

HE IS GREAT!!! =D

We can Make it!

2009-08-20T02:00:00.000-07:00

Comments are love!!

I was bored...

2009-08-14T08:52:00.000-07:00

Ok, here I was writing some piece of fiction. Yes, I write...

I kind of got bored and my eyes were tired so I took a break. Mom came into the room and aksed me to list down the things I have to bring and do when I'm at the Uni office tomorrow, so I listed them down...

After doing so, my hands started to move on its own...

First, I drew a flower. Then I drew another different flower. After that, I redrew flower 2 and added leaves and a stem and a sun shining down on it..

Since what I was writing was fiction, I thought maybe I should make a rough 'illustration' of my character so I started to scribble.. I don't know. when I scribble things, they look nice. But when I redraw them properly (as in no scribbling involved) they look hideous. So I scribbled my character. Many MANY rough lines and I DID NOT redraw properly, just took a pic.

Look at your own risk =P (it's actually the same drawing but I took 2 pics~)
Picture 1

Koi shita.. ~To fall in Love~

2009-08-13T06:49:00.001-07:00

Ever believed or experienced love at first sight? For me, to love someone needs time and a chance to get to know each other. In short, love at first sight is totally NG for me...

...except for this one time!! >.< Introducing:

BANG & OLUFSEN'S
FORM 2!!!

http://www.bang-olufsen.com/form2

Ain't it beautiful? I fell in love the moment I set my eyes on this model ^^

The best thing is, while I was browsing though some magazine scans on the internet, I discovered this...

UO*G&GB#RE&NI(DJEG*$H#**#**&UFNO%%

Who wouldn't KEYSMASH after seeing such a picture in just mere days of falling in love? I mean, what are the odds?

I plan on getting it for my birthday, Christmas, CNY, whatever celebration I can think of as an excuse from my parents. It's ~~VERY!!!~~ quite pricey, so I added my...

GOOD RESULTS (*yay*)

...to the list. After all, it's an investment. Just like my camera.

Decided to enlist my aunt in Singapore's help to purchase it first since it's cheaper (no/lower tax) there. Dad would be going over on 16/9 for a fish show and come back with my aunt on 18/9. She wants to send me off ^^

I feel so satisfied today~ Why you ask? Well, for several reasons..

1. I started cleaning my room^^
Imagine, I just brought down more that 5kg of paper to be recycled. That's just from my bed and desk. There are still tonnes of paper hiding around in my room. I guess I'm just doing my major part to help save the environment.. That's 1.5 years (and maybe more) worth of recyclable junk. Still loads to go though.. There are still no changes in the appearace of my room since I only cleaned the hidden parts (ie: inside drawers, under bed). I'm taking it a step at a time. Maybe I'll start vacuuming the dusty parts tomorrow.

2. Many buried treasures found
Not really found, more of remembered. Since I do know where I put them and all.. What kind of treasures? Well, various. Story books, CDs (originals), stationery, games, etc. That's all I uncovered so far. I plan on giving my books, games and such to charity since they need them more than I do.

3. I hope to earn lots of money!!
Well, definitely less than what I spent but at least I get the money NOW, as in the PRESENT. I have tonnes of original CDs that I don't want anymore so I plan on selling them online. Yeap! I just have to work my way to get a PayPal account first. I also have loads of Japanese Mags that I have already read. I couldn't just throw them away since I paid good money for them and there are people (yes, I have my ways and sources) that are willing to buy past issues^^ I also have many A-Levels textbooks to sell~

4. My first actual cooking experience was a success!!
Believe it or not, Joanna can cook!! A girl has gotta survive on her own. I made Cabbage Rolls. Pork, mixed with various veges wrapped in cabbage and steamed. Well, I simmered. Same difference. It was so YUMMY~!!! I wanted to take a picture as proof but the family dug in too quickly. It was kind of a spontaneous thing. It was like suddenly at 5pm, I decided that I wanted to make them. Cooking is fun^^ Maybe I'll raid the cookbook for something else next time.

So I shall just summarise everything into this one post..

Hard Rock Cafe

So yea, we reached at 4.00 pm and finally ate our lunch at 4.30pm!
Had LOADDSSS of fun, including snapping tonnes of photos (more info: FB), chatting on what's new with our lives ~~and about LeeMei missing all the fun!!~~

One of the highlights I can NEVER forget are the quotes from none other from the GREAT CHIA SY!!

Izzat: So Joanna, I hear you're going overseas soon. Where you going ar?
SY: Oh! She's going to Dumpling~!! =D
Joanna: Yes, I'm going to DUBLIN..

Father's Day

2009-06-21T07:53:00.000-07:00

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DADDY!!!

May God continue to bless you with good health and wealth and long-life^^

Ok, I did NOT just call my dad 'Daddy'! So what if I did? Just for one occassion~

Mom and I and her friend from Indonesia planned to surprise dad and mom's friend's husband with a HUGE Father's Day cake^^

So yea, mom and I went out to 'buy groceries' yesterday without dad or my bro. It took some effort since my dad was like "Come, I wanna go too!!". He just didn't want to feel left out. Went to Secret Recipe to order a Tiramisu cake. When we came back, dad was like "So.. Where's my present? *inserts grin*" Who's the KID now? Haha.. JK JK

We invited my mom's friend's (from secondary school) family from Indonesia for dinner at the nearby restaurant since they liked the food the last time they came. Wanted to treat the 2 fathers and fellowship for old time's sake..

Their son, Jeremy, who is my age came along too^^ Well, he's a year ahead in studies since he expressed in an international school and he came back for summer holidays. Kashini met him before I think, with his bro during their last visit and when Kash came over for 'study session'. He's SOOO tall now. Ok, I'm sensitive when it comes to height but I can't help it >.<. I decided to wear HIGH heels to make me seem a bit taller. Blame it on my 'I hate to lose' attitude..

So we had dinner. Mom reserved a spot earlier because we kinda had an idea that it would be crowded due to Father's Day. Guess what? We were right~

We kinda used the 'Have to go reserve table' plan as an excuse for us to out to collect the cake. We didn't even make a sound when we came home. I sneaked in and ran to hide the cake in the outside fridge ^_~

So after dinner, we ALL went to my house to talk talk talk. When everybody settled down, I took the cake out and Ja Ja JAANN!!

SURPRISE!!!

We only managed to eat a quarter of the cake since we were still full from dinner ^^; While eating, the parents just kept talking and talking and... you get it. All about facebook (yes, I know!!), business and other stuff. Us kids just kept quite and observed.. Well, my bro had the computer to play with downstairs but mine was upstairs and I didn't want to be rude *sighs* Ok, I cheated a bit. I DID got up to upload the photos I took today and gave one random one I took of my bro to him so he can use as his display picture on whatever..

I kinda liked what I did though^^ Cool aite? It's not all the time we Tans get to take nice pics of ourselves (very un-photogenic)

So after loads of talking and stuff, our guests went back~

I guess that's all for today~~!!

Konbanchiwa~~

2009-06-16T04:21:00.001-07:00

Konbanchiwa~!

Hehe.. Ok, I was too lazy to update yesterday so I decided to do it today^^

Lets start with Sunday. Went to get a haircut. I promised myself the 10000000000000th time to NEVER get my fringe cut!! I mean, everytime someone cuts my fringe, they'll just screw it up. Last time it was too short, then it was out of shape, now its BOTH too short AND out of shape!! Not to mention that the lady 'thinned/layered' my fringe so it would look SUPER short, like about 3cm higher than my eyebrows if someone were to look at me from a distance. She didn't have mercy on my side bangs and went ahead and snipped them off. So now, not only I look like a retard, I look like a retard with a BIG and FAT face.

Mom HAD to bring me for a haircut ON PROM DAY!! *cries* So yea, I looked like a retard with a big and fat face DURING PROM!! I'm gonna be cutting my own hair by my own preferrences from now on until I decide to undergo a super makeover.

Speaking of prom, there was nothing much to speak of.. I mean, the juniors arranged it and they were not even punctual. We started like AN HOUR late! The best thing is, the host even warned us to sit down and remain silent for the start of occassion. He was like "Okay, last warning arr.." One word: LAME! Come on man, its like OUR day..

One of the eventful things that etched itself in my memory is the Hindi Dance performed by the lecturers! It was SOOOO exciting. I mean come on.. LECTURERS + HINDI DANCE (yes the one involving coconut trees)
= PURE CRACK!!! For the female lecturers, I went like O.O went the moved their hips so dangerously! As for the guys, who wouldn't just die of crack overload when they see their favorite and some forever serious male lecturers wear cool shades, hair slicked back, leather jackets and bling in the form of a shiny CD?!?! YEA!

So we had the prom king and prom king. 2 ppl got nominated from our class but sadly they did not come. We also had the best dressed award. A guy from our class got nominated but didn't win because our screams/squeals were not loud enough to beat the guys supporting another guy^^; All that, and we had the BEST COUPLE!!

THE BEST COUPLE is SOOOO <33333!!!

One would expect a couple, consisting of a boy and a girl to nominate themselves and take up a challenge by the hosts which is a sensual dance between the couple. One did not expect (or maybe they did) a couple (actually 2) consisting of a boy and a boy to nominate themselves.

So they had to introduce themselves and say something about themselves to appeal to the audience. So yea, my name is ____ and this is my bf/gf/partner and we've been together for how long. The guys went like "Hi! I'm ___ and this is my partner ___ and we've been together for like FOREVER!!!" *inserts passionate hug* O.o;;;;

Then came the sensual dance. PURE CRACK XDDDD

Yea, they kinda like marriage proposal-ed each other and did all sort of erotic moves which was too much crack and incoherence~ So yea, they ACTUALLY were voted THE BEST couple.

There was only ONE problem.. See, the organisers got couple rings for the best couple. One for the guy and one for the girl. It was a good thing that one the guys was quite small sized and that his finger could fit the ring. So, the got the rings and put them on each other like during a wedding, only that one would kneel while putting the ring on the other. ~~In my opinion, they should make vows~~. The taller guy then carried the other bridal style down the stage.. And they both live happily ever after XD

Pictures are too much of a hassle so I suppose you can go check my facebook to see if I'm tagged in any photos^^

More will come when I remember~

~Tanabata Matsuri~

2009-06-12T08:34:00.000-07:00

TEGOMASS ATTACKS AGAIN!!!

~With their irresistable cuteness~

Kawaii!!!

They're gonna be releasing their 5th and newest single 'Tanabata Matsuri' on 8/7 in conjunction with the summer season. I just saw the preview of the PV. This is like the 3rd PV involving kids. Well, I guess its a way to enchance their cuteness^^

Them singing and playing with the kids are just pure love! Did I mention that they're wearing yukatas? Yukatas fit Massu better because he seems more of the traditional Japanese type of guy to me. Or maybe because I spottes Tegoshi wearing a fashion ring with the yukata, which did not match *_*

They're also gonna be releasing their 1st album called 'Tegomass no Uta' on the 15/7!!! Kinda reminds me of their song 'Bokura no Uta' from the previous single. And we all thought promoting the Tegomass-ai during Koi no ABO was for nothing.

Ok, I'm just going to pretend that people actually read my endless flailing *shot*

Ok, YESTERDAY marked the last day of my A-levels exam and college life. Is hould be happy aite? But somehow I was depressed. Don't get me wrong, I'm not gonna miss anyone *shot dead for heartless statement*, it was just that I kinda screwed up my last paper. I was depressed for the whole day.

I kinda sorta cheered up a bit when dad took me out to 1u to buy bus tickets to Singapore. But I kinda felt terrible. Now all I have to is to change my prayer from getting good papers to good examiners who are lenient and MERCIFUL^^

Oh well, that behind, now I have to start cleaning my room and get rid of all the unwanted stuff. When I'm done, I'm just gonna scratch it off the list on the right >,>

This post was actually for Sunday NOON. I just got lazy.. =P

Its like noon and yet I'm still so sleepy. Just came back from church and grocery shopping with mom. Why only mom? Dad is on his way back from Singapore (I wanna go >.<) and bro is at some football competition with his friends.

Yesterday was SOO tiring.. Had to wake up early in the morning (say, 8.00am?) on a SATURDAY?! Well, not that I'm complaining. Who wouldn't want to get ready to attend their friends' wedding? Yeap, two of my friends tied the knot yesterday ^^ ~CONGRATS TO KEVAN AND WINNY~ *throws confetti and balloons* Winny looks so pretty and was like smiling throughout the WHOLE ceremony. Well, who wouldn't huh? The flower girls were in their cute pink dresses, I only know one of them though.. But the ring bearer, Zen is TOO CUTE for his own good. I mean, in that mini tux and hair gelled to one side, you would just wanna pinch those chubby cheeks and hug him to death!!

Well, the whole thing went smoothly and the ceremony ended with lunch upstairs courtesy of none other than 'Big Rajah Catering^^' I wore a brown dress, yes Joanna WORE A DRESS!! A low cut one at that, with little FRILLS!! Haha, even I couldn't believe I actually wore that ^^; Maybe I'll were that again when I go to Singapore for my cousin's wedding later in July. Wow! In like the first half of this year, I actually attended to 3 and coming to 4 in July! This must be a great year for weddings!

I didn't join the others for lunch though, because I had to rush to Pyramid IN MY DRESS for my brother's birthday celebration. We were afraid that there would be no parking or places at Pizza Hut so mom had to resort to valet parking and I had to be dropped off first at the main entrance with 3 (uncontrollable) boys (let me remind you, in my dress although I changed to flats than the initial stilettos) to make our way to Pizza Hut.

After we sat down, I felt SOOO AWKWARD having so many people staring at me. I mean, come on! Don’t tell me you haven’t seen a girl in such a dress before.. My goodness! I really wanted to leave the boys at Pizza Hut and go and change into my casual wear. Then mom came, we ordered. When we just finished ordering, Aunty Lucy came with the two kids, Zhe Hao and Yoke Lin. Of course they were looking at me funny too as I left.

Of course I was already rushing to go to the washroom when Aunty Lucy asked me where I was going. Well, I also HAD to explain why I was in the dress so yea I told her the reason why and dashed off^^

After lunch, the boys went ice-skating with the mom and A. Lucy staying with them. The remaining 3 of us ‘big kids’ decided to watch a movie~ When we reached the cinema, it was SO FULL! Thank God for easy access. So we booked tickets for Monsters vs. Aliens and had abt an hour to kill. We spent the WHOLE 45 mins at NOKIA comparing 2 phones for Zhe Hao. I’ve never seen such an indecisive guy in my life! Well, I find it amusing.The comparison was too petty to write here so I’ll just leave it to the fact that he ended up buying the better (in my and everybody else’s opinion) phone.

The movie was Hilarious! Fun! Great! I don’t mind watching it again. I highly recommend this movie to everybody^_~

Well after that was pretty much the usual. Dinner, home, computer, bed. Yea that’s about it!

Wow! The papers today, ok, yesterday were so tough! I mean, Bio was ok, lots of writing as expected. I did try to answer all the questions to my knowlege. I just hope that what I write down actually DESERVES marks. I wrote so much, that my hand actually gave out during the last quarter of the exam. I had to like rest it for a minute or so to let it 'recharge'. The cramps/pain in my hand remeined when I sat for Math. Thank God that my hand did not 'die' during the exams. Even now, I'm still feeling the cramps from my hand!! Math was a gonner. It was SOOO DIFFICULT! I'm already having doubts on whether can score A for it (my only hopeful A subject) *cries* I'm done with both my Math papers, so now all I have to do is trust God that He will help me and have mercy upon me ^^

Got our college magazine today! Yes, our college still has the 'Kemilau'-like magazine system~ I LOOK HIDEOUS!! Ok, it shouldn't suprise me since 99% of all the pictures I have taken in my lifetime look hideous. I can only save the remaining 1% for my picture reputation. So, pictures from all the classes, special pages for each class, words of advice and encouragement from the lecturers (much appreciated).. Basically the standard stuff.

Today (yesterday) was exhausting! I think I overworked my brain. I've never given my brain much thinking practice so I guess it went on overload today. I mean Joanna NEVER SLEEPS on FRIDAY!!! Since Friday is like the only day that I can waste my time on the computer without a care in the world due to the weekend ahead. Believe it or not, I slept for 3hrs! Probably more if my mom did not wake me up. Ahh, time on my computer wasted on sleep! Oh well, sleep IS the 2nd best thing to the computer~

Ikiteiru~

2009-05-28T07:25:00.000-07:00

I'M ALLLIIVVVEEEE!! Yea, I just posted here after a million years (?) just to let people know that I'm actually still living and breathing^^

So yea, I'm in the midst of my final exam now. 2 killer papers tomorrow, Biology4 and Math3!! But those 2 cannot be compared to the other 2 KILLER KILER papers coming on Monday, Physics4 and Chemistry4. I mean, I did manage to get 'D' for those subjects for my trials.. So worried.

Oh well, moving away from exams, I wanna congratulate my buddy, Lee Mei upon starting her classes! Now I know where to ge when I think I'm going crazy ^^; So yea, I'll be going down to Singapore after my exams in early July for my cousin's wedding and at the same time, meet up with some buddies *hints*

Its pretty random, but I found a link to a MV on youtube today. The song is 'Heaven' by BIG BANG. Suprising for a person like me who fears entering the Korean fandom to actually listen to Korean songs!! Like I said, it was PURELY RANDOM!! Besides, I found it because I found out that BIG BANG is gonna debut in Japan and their debut song is the japanese rendition of 'Heaven' but its called 'My Heaven'. I like how the Korean version sounds like but I find the Japanese version more understandable..

Arashi is stretching their whole 10th Anniversary Concert all the way from AUGUST TO JANUARY!! Wow! That's so long! Well, it IS their 10th Anniv Con anyways. I'm sure the fans are ecstastic! I just hope the boys take care of themselves, espacially with the A(H1N1) virus on rampant in Japan. Hopefully the whole thing subsides by the time the con starts..

Just want to say, Arashi's Ashita no Kioku is such a nice song. I mean, you can really feel the emotions in this song! And the PV really potrays the whole scenario with the melancholy and all. I think the directors really did a good job in producing the PV for this single.

Life is pretty much a bore for me nowadays. I mean, all I do is wake up, bath, study, eat lunch, study again, eat dinner, bath, study again again, then sleep. The cycle repeats again the next day. Of course there is the occasional toilet break, water break, computer break, I just don't wanna do anything break but yea, like has been quite monotonous. I haven't been going out or meeting up with anybody. Well, ALL of that is gonna change AFTER my exams!! For now, I'll just have to endure the monotony.

I just formed an Arashi fancover group with another 4 girls from all over. We are called Fの嵐, meaning F no Arashi, with the 'F' meaning Fandub or Fancover. I sing as none other than Sakurai Sho! Well, mainly because I have been 'scouted' by our ~Nino~ and that my non-existent rapping skills have been recognised! Haha, *fails* HAPPY!! So yea, we started a lj comm but we havent released any covers yet because, well, we're all jus tplain BUSY with real life! I quote from our beloved 'Oh-chan' who coincidently is also the oldest like the actual, "We are all a bunch of hardworking schoolgirls~!" Lolzz yea that was cute!

So I guess that ends my 'I'm Alive!!' update that 'some people' have been bugging me on~

Kono machi wo erabimasu!

2009-02-16T08:12:00.000-08:00

Applying for PMC and IUMC. So freaking expensive! *starts hunting for scholarships* Haihzz.. Applying for PMC is so troublesome! I have to like get EVERYTHING certified! I mean EVERYTHING. Even my birth cert and IC. I mean, do I really need to get the fact that I'm born certified by some person? I thought the fact that I have a birth cert and IC mean I'm ALREADY certified as a person born in Malaysia..

Haihzz.. Story of my life.. I finally confirmed my purchase and transfer of my NEWS Winter Diamont Party Key Strap! Can't wait to get it!! Its so pretty. Apparently its already sent to my aunt's place in Singapore. All that's needed is to wait for an email from my aunt saying 'I RECEIVED IT!'. But for me to actually get my hands on it, I'll have to wait till May, when my dad goes to Singapore for a show.

Well, thats all for the updats for now. Just didn't want this blog to seem dead..

Juuken Kekka!

2009-01-20T06:14:00.000-08:00

Arghh! I haven't been able to blog lately.. Well, what to do? started college again mar.. Just wanted to say that my life has been quite busy since I re-entered. Bombarded with TONNES of assignments!!!

And also.. MY RESULTS ARE OUT TOMORROW!!! Well, I would just like to think of it as just another ordinary day until someone with a BIG envelope comes to class.. With my future in it.. Dramatic huh?

Singapore!

2009-01-03T22:13:00.000-08:00

Lee Mei finally had the energy to send the pics over. However, I'm only gonna post 2 with us in it and one with just me in..

Shukudai

2008-12-30T09:44:00.000-08:00

Arghh! Homework overload!! OK, I'm the one to blame. Its my fault that I didn't touch my homework for the holidays.. Well, it can't be helped for a 'part' of it. I mean, its not my fault that I had to go to Langkawi and Singapore and didn't have time to do mt homework!!

Yeap! You read it correct! I went to Singapore!! Left on the 26th, came back on the 29th. Well, it was kinda like a sudden trip as my dad suddenly told me to follow him (with my bro) to Singapore. He had to go there as he was one of the judges for the goldfish competition. I went there to go shopping with my aunt and meet up with LEE MEI!! So long didn't visit her in Singapore! Sure, she came back several times but still..!

Lee Mei invited me to go karaoke-ing for the 1st time in my life! Kinda lonely that there were only 2 of us but it was fun coz we kinda went gila during the 2nd half of the session. Thanks Lee Mei! Really appreciate you for spending your time with me!!

Took some pictures but Lee Mei seemed to be a bit too tired to send them over so I guess the Singapore picspam will have to wait..

Langkawi Picspam!!

2008-12-23T21:50:00.000-08:00

OK! Here I am to spam ny blog with pictures I have taken in Langkawi!!! For starters, I suppose we should begin with getting out of the plane...

Rented a car, unloaded at the hotel and started our adventures in the UnderWater World nearby.. Saw many aquatic creatures. Well, most of them I have seen though..

OK, let's start with the cute ones! People around in the place started giving me weird stares when I kinda shouted 'MECHA KAWAII!!!!!' when I saw the penguins and otter. Well, who can anyone resist the cuteness of dwaddling flightless birds and a playful aquatic mammal? The otter was practically rolling over all over the place and capturing the hearts of ppl like me ith their cuteness! I also find the pointed snouts of the rays interestingly cute..

I just HAD to take a picture of this draing.. Apparently, it's a type of shark! Lolz..

The rock on the left is actually a fish. This rocky specimen is called the ROCK FISH!! *Gets shot for her ironic remark* I was joking with my grandma on how long would a Garoupa the size of a bicycle would be able feed our family..

Don't you just love BEAUTIFUL and GRACEFUL creatures? I do!! The jelly fish was aimlessly swimming and banging the glass wall though.. Can't help it, IT HAS NO EYES!! At least it's aimless swimming style was "graceful". I love seahorses! That's why I couldn't help but take a pic of one.. The LEAFY SEA DRAGON is one of the most BEAUTIFUL creatures I have ever seen! I mean, look at it! Its so pretty and the way it swims and sways it's 'leaves' is so gracefull!

Well, after the trip, we retired back to our hotel room. The next day, during breakfast, we sat by the beach. The area had a family of cats with 2 playful kittens. For us Malaysians, we would think "aiyah! Just can only mar.. See them all over the place. Summore so dirty. Better don't touch or feed them!", but for the foreigners, well, let's just say they were more kind-hearted..

See the kitten try to be the next Tarzan? During the walk on the beach, my bro spotted a starfish. Not knowing if it as still living, we still felt sorry for it and thre it back to the sea. "Shiori desu~!" How can I pass a chance to write in the sand.. Hehe..

Later we went to the cable car rides. I don't understand how people ould exxagerate on ho SCARY the ride is and people ith heart problems should not go.. Seriously, it was nothing! To prove it, I took some pictures..

Nothing right? Aiya! Why so big deal? There was a sky bridge on the higher stop but I just couldn't figure out how to get there.. Too bad..

Took some pictures just to prove there we were there. Mom, Dad and Grandma didn't come because they succumed to the exxagerated rumoures. Intstead, they went to the nearby Sheraton Hotel while waiting for us... Ok, I did take a chance to pose at the lower stop, but the pic at the second stop as not a pose. It was SOOOO SUNNY up there!!!

When we got down, we had some time to kill while waiting for the hotel go-ers to come and fetch us, so we decided to go to the deer pen and rabbits corner..

Deer fur is sooo rough! Feels just like the toilet brush, only finer! Got a chance to feed the rabbits with carrots and capture a few to take photos with.. My aunt didn't want to get her hands dirty so she just sat at the bench. I just found the sight of the rabbits leisurely siting under her bench cute si I took a picture..

Next day, we went to the bird park and saw all sorts of birds as well as take a picture with one of them..

Behold! The most vicious bird known to man, the CASSOWARY!!! I call it the PMS-est bird of all birds. Don't get this fella angry, it's kicks are extremely powerful and it's claws can penetrate metal sheets!!! Deadlier than the ostritch!(Lolzz) I somehow do not understand how can flamingoes and herons stand completely balanced on one foot only! The crowned heron is just so pretty! Ever seen a white peacock? I have! Just wanted to take a picture to 'shock sendiri'.. Mr. Peacock just wanted to show of his feathers.. There were some peahens nearby..

There was another rabbits corner there and I got a chance to find, hold, and take a picture with such a cute kitten! (for those who are not aware, baby rabbits are also called kittens!!) The colour pattern is so unique and pretty. I have soft spots for black animals with white markings. There were so many burrows but I couldn't find anymore kittens. Only this which was outside the burrow...

Next we went to the Galeria Perdana where Tun Mahathir exhibits so many of his belongings!! Couldn't take any pictures so I decided to take a pic of this flower outside the building..

We then went to Eagle Square to take a pic with the great Eagle of Langkawi!!! I only uploaded the pics of the eagle without us though...

The next day, we packed and ent home! So good to be home. Felt the withdrawal symptoms of not having my computer with me for 4 days. Didn't show all the pics I took though.. 111 pictures is such a hassle to upload..

Tadaima modorimashita! Came back from my 'no plan' trip in Langkawi with my family.. We ended up renting a 'van' (for 6 ppl) so we could drive anywhere we wanted on the island. I went on a picture taking spree and wasted my phone battery. Usually it would last for about a week but with what I did, it almost died within 4 days.

Lots of photos taken. Transferring them to the computer right now. Will post it later. Well, had lots of fun. Will tell what happen with my photos later!

Yasumi desu~!

2008-12-13T08:02:00.001-08:00

From tomorrow till the 17th, I would be going to Langkawi! Going with my BIG family (ehh?? I thought Joanna's family only got 4 members? Big ar?) I'm also going with my aunt and my grandmum! Best thing is.. We don't know what to do there! That's right! We're going to spend a 'no plan' holiday in Langkawi!

When I come back I ould be busy with the Christmas presentation in church and FINISHING ALL MY HOMEWORK!! Aahh..! Holidays also no peace of mind. My lecturers bombarded me ithe TONNES of homework and assignments. Summore when come back to college, they're gonna give tests after tests! THE HORROR! Well, I have to finish soon though because I would be setting off once again to Singapore! Haha can meet Lee Mei again (If she has time to layan me that is..)!!

Well, thats all for my ramblings today! Oyasumi Nasai!

Kabocha!

2008-12-11T08:12:00.000-08:00

Ha ha! Time to picspam by blog! I took so many RANDOM pictures but didnt have to post it (I was just too lazy) Oh well, without further delay..

Kawaii! See how cute this star shaped thingy is! The shape is so well balanced! Even I cannot draw such a cute star!

This is the zoomed out picture of the star.. It actually came from a PUMPKIN! Who knew that if you cut a pumpkin stalk it becomes a star! Well, I don't know if it happens to other pumpkins, but it did to this one, pumpkin no. 8! Nature sure is mysterious! My family and I (brother excluded, he went for camp) went for dinner at a restaurant we've never tried before. Somehow we were feeling a little adventurous and ordered the pumpkin since almost all the tables had it. We thought it would be some kind of pumpkin stew but the dish inside had NOTHING to do with pumpkins! We had such a big shock when we opened the top to find ABALONE, SCALLOPS, FISH MAW, etc. Such luxurious seafood! We suddenly felt scared, fearing it would cost us a BOMB! We were after all an oblivious family just going out for a random SIMPLE dinner and than THIS happened!

Well, the other dishes were pretty much ordinary. We felt to relieved that the pumpkin alone didn't cost us more than RM100 (we expected like abt RM200+) It actually only cost us about RM50 for just the pumpkin seafood stew, much to our suprise also.. Well we did learn a lesson to actually ASK what's INSIDE the dish before ordering it! ^^

This was the side view..

That ends part 1 of my picspam and adventures..

COLOR

2008-12-10T04:52:00.000-08:00

Ok, I know, I should be updating more frequently since I'm now on ly holidays.. No excuses. I was not 'busy' just lazy.. Haha..

I was suppored to post my review like WEEKS ago but somehow I got lazy.. Well here goes:

Downloaded the new COLOR album by NEWS! The songs are so beautiful! My current favorite is 'Forever'. Its such a beautiful song! To me, the chorus sound a little like the chorus of the opening song of Fruits Basket. Nevertheless, its still beautiful! I don’t get bored listening to it, it’s so nice and catchy! Love the acoustic guitar part in the beginning and Tegoshi’s voice to start was the best, so beautiful! Yamapi’s rap was a little out though. I think the song would be nicer if the rap was not added. *Dodges Pi fans* Im a fan too! I also loved Massu’s parts in the song!

Pi’s MOLA is a whole different story though.. I love the part where they used voice synthesizers for the whole song and all but the lyrics are just too *inserts incorent word*. Is it me or is the PIN fandom getting more real recently? Best friends, travel together, same hairstyle and now songs of the same TYPE of lyrics, genre and even in ENGRISH (yes I spelt it right)! Its so similar to Jin’s song, lyrics and message conveyed and all…

KoyaShige attack again with their mischevious, ecchi songs! First Chirarizumu, now Murarisuto! First they want to peek under, now ABOVE! Can’t help but love them for their cute, catchy, mischevious songs! Makes me wonder what they’ll be up to next! Ryo’s Ordinary is so much better than his previous Code. Can’t believe that he actually composed the song! The lyrics are so good! SUGOI!

Well, Massu and Tegoshi didn’t really have a solo song but they did have songs with them as the lead singers like in the Nantoka Narusa and Ai Nante formations. Minna ga iru sekai wo hitotsu ni ai wo motto Give & Take shimashou, what a long song title! Its so Massu to come up with such a dorky title! I kinda liked it better than NN. Well, both songs really do match Massu so much! Its really upbeat and the lyrics are so cute! Kesenai however was a bit too long and draggy for me. Its kinda slow. I preferred Ai Nante. But what can you expect, Tegoshi’s voice was Angelic! *melts*

FLY AGAIN is like really an inspirational song to me. The lyrics are so meaningful and the song really kinda lifts my spirit when I’m down. Another song that I really love. The melody also really can lift one’s spirit! Beautiful song!

There were other new songs like STARDUST and Smile Maker. You’d expect Stardust to be all sparkly and stardust like but its quite upbeat and Pop-ish. Nice song to listen to every now and then. Smile Maker really make you smile though. I don’t know, somehow throughout the whole song I just couldn’t help but just smile.

SNOW EXPRESS is finally out on CD! I only heard it during lives and concert but never had the actual CD version! Loved the song the moment I heard it and the fact that it came out in this album made my day! Towairo no Koi also finally came out. The song was pleasant and was the ending song for LE for the album!

Of course there were also songs like weeeek (So catchy!), SUMMER TIME (Ironically the track after was SNOW EXPRESS.. Lolz), Taiyou no Namida (Kurosagi!), and HAPPY BIRTHDAY (Sweet!).

Overall, this album is like a toned down version of Pacific. Pacific is filled with REALLY upbeat and GAAANN!!! songs and COLOUR well, is just a beautiful album! Daisuki!

Owarimashita! OOkini!!

So long never update.. ITS OVER!! My finals are finally OVER after more than A MONTH of pure torture! So happy its over but still not that happy because I still have to attend college untill the 5th of Dec.. I miss the good days in the past where you can just ponteng school after exams are over and have an early holiday.. Oh well, gotta face reality..

At least I can continue watching stuff on my compute without feeling guilty or worried that I may lose track of time! Yoiko no Mikata is finally out on streaming sites! So happy that I could finally watch my favourite ZERO and Beijing Olympics newscaster – Sakurai Sho playing the role of Taiyou (Sun) hoping to be the Taiyou of little children’s hearts by being a pre-school teacher, a field that is dominated by women. He’s so cute acting as such an innocent and hardworking teacher! Well, the drama was air like 5 years ago so he looked younger, but somehow he looks so much better now! As expected as one from the OJI-CHAN TEAM(granddad team – referred to as the other members as OLD!) of ARASHI (along with Ohno)

Guess what? There may be plans for ARASHI to go to Singapore for their 10th Anniversary since debut tour! Please do come! Its so much easier to go to Singapore than Thailand, China, Taiwan or Japan (Language and financial barriers)! I just hope and pray that if they come I would still be here and not in Ireland. Please some earlier!! I was so happy when I found out on Thursday that I lost my motivation to study for Physics on the same day (not that I ever had the motivation initially anyways..).

Well I suppose my next post would be about an ALBUM that just got released and I downloaded recently..

Kanashii no jikan desu..

2008-10-23T07:57:00.001-07:00

Haihzz... So sad! SOMEBODY actually forgot my birthday..!!! Tension level low adi.. Hehe.. Nevermind, I'm a good person, I forgive and DON'T forget..

Today I had my MUET speaking test! For those 'ignorant' ppl, its an English test if you wanna get into any Malaysian universities.. I was in the last group of the day.. Waited SOOO long! Without my phone! Yes, the temporarily 'confiscated' my phone since its an exam. Oh well, I was so bored I began to take out a piece of paper, pencil, eraser and a photo sticker that I took with some friends some time ago and started drawing. Well, like all my other drawings (biological cells included), my friends ended up looking like cartoons! Anime in my opinion.. SY is gonna kill me if she finds out!! I'll scan it and post it when I have the time and effort!

Well, back to the exam, when it was my turn, of course I was nervous. Adding up with the AC blowing my right in the face, I started shivering like CRAZY until the guy in my group started to think I was paranoid. Of course I stuttered and mumbled abit (or alot) here and there but the guy in front of me was talking like its nothing at all. And here I was talking like I was about to cry! In a way it was admiration (real skills) and in a way it was fustration (HATE to lose), more of fustration though..

Anyways, I came back and started my nonscense - inking my drawing and of course, using my beloved computer.

Don't you just find it cute when a guy who has so common knowledge of English confesses to you "I love you so much to you!!!" so confidently? I do! Although, I would think twice before accepting his confession! - Not a true incident, I saw it on TV...

Me ga itai!

2008-10-21T02:39:00.000-07:00

Funny thing.. Usually people would update less when they're having exams.. I seem to be updating almost everyday! More of than without exams. Maybe its just my way of getting my mind off the exams for a while.. Or maybe because I'm getting lazier by the day!

Today sat for Physics practical and Thinking Skills.. How ironic, my two WORST subjects on the same day! Somebody in Cambridge must be plotting against me.. Well, phy practicals were ok, WAAAYY better then chem practicals. I could actually finish the paper! Yippie! What a 'coincidence'. I mean, my trials involved measuring angles with the addition of paper clips and so did my FINALS!! The only different thing is that the finals included sand and a plumb line.. All the same concept! To me, it was too close to be a coincidence man..

The sand was the hard part though.. Getting just the right amound of sand into the container and all took me like about 10 minutes! After that it was 'kinda' smooth going... But the combination of wind and sand is a bad thing! Some of the sand got into my eye making it itchy and eventually painful to the point it was tearing (explains my title).

Was tearing all the way to thinking skills. Really, during the time interval I had something like a brain blockage.. I couldn't do a thing. All I could do was just listen to my clasmates discussing past year papers at MY table.. When TKS started I was still rubbing my eye sitting RIGHT IN FRONT of the discussion room! Worst place to sit at man.. But one good thing was that it was not too cold.

There were so many questions (more than 5) in the TKS paper that were WHOLLY repeated from past year papers!! Wow! Talk about cheating!! Kinda happy la, I knew most of the answers.. Even the answers, not even the orientation of the answers were changed.. Word for Word!

Futsuu..

2008-10-18T08:14:00.001-07:00

Well, nothing special happened today.. I guess its just a conspiracy to make yesterday the weirdest day..

For starters, todays was kinda gloomy as i caught a flu... Can't be a cold as is was suuuuper hot yesterday (remember, no electricity!). I guess I got it because by immunity was kinda down due to the exhaustion (didn't sleep the hole night - remember, no electricity). Better start geting better - don't want a leaking nose during the exams worst thing to ever happen!

I went to pp & lp at church today.. I expected people to be shocked because its been such a long time since Joanna came but they were like "Hey! blah blah..." like normal as if I have been coming every week as usual.. We're all practicing for the Christmas Celebration service on the 24th (pj) and 25th (klang). We're going traditional again this year since for the previous years we have been giving them more modern and contemporary dances.

I'll be playing the angklung chords with Charity. First time for me to do chords. I thought of doing the ordinary chords our seniors used, Lynette and Sanam are using. Apparently we're using the GIGANTIC 2 LEVEL set. I decided I'll be going the lower level because I wanted to sit while playing but gave the excuse that I was more 'vertically challenged' so Chat would be more suitable for the higher level.

The set was still in Klang and they didn't transport it over yet so I was set to help our CONDUCTOR, conducting the main anglung team comprising of mostly the younger kids and some of the older ones..

Sonia (ms. conductor) was too soft in instructing the kids so I became the bossy bad guy and started becoming the 'substitute' and the PA system. I suppose those kids must be thinking "Who is this girl to just come in out of no where and start yelling at us? She's not even a regular". Haha..

But controlling them was hard, I kept telling them to hold the angklung in place even when it was not their turn and concentrate by always looking at the conductor BUT NOOO... They kept holding the insrument like they were holding a machine gun and there was one girl who had the attention span of like 0.01 seconds!!! She kept looking all over the place an missing her turns!! Geram wanna yell at her but she's still a small girl (but big enough to understand by SIMPLE English)

I'm worried that I won't be able to get the notes right in time.. I mean, looking at my friends doing their chords is really scaring me! So fast! Summore its been such a long time, I forgot how to read music notes!! And I have my exams!!! How leh? Oh well, when there is a will, there is a way!! Just that I don't know if my will is willing..

Maji de? Yabai!

2008-10-16T21:03:00.000-07:00

Its official! Joanna's 18th birthday is the weirdest day ever. Not just weirdest birthday, probably THE weirdest day I have ever encountered thoughout the whole 18 years 10 hours of my life!!!

I was going for breakfast with my dad and his few friends. One of them was helping by talking me through the different paths I may take to my medical carrier.. I thought by going to PMC 2 years later was going to Penang for 2.5 years then to Ireland for another 2.5 years later... Apparently, ITS THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!!!!

IM GOING TO IRELAND IN 2 YEARS!!

Its too soon for me to leave the nest.. I still want to be elidgable to be enrolled in the PaMa (Papa and Mama) program!!!

Well, after that, dad's other friend stopped by the hardware store (the one in SS3 next to 7eleven). Dad and I went to 7/11 to buy bread and obviously there were a few school boys (from the school of yours truly) 'lepakking' in front with their footballs. From the colour of the name tags, I knew they were f3. I was thinking to myself, why would they be wasting their study time with football and lepakking (pointing out the obvious - its PMR season)

So, I shrugged it off and went out to wait in front of the hardware store with my 'education advisor' (thank God for good, helpful and caring people!). Suddenly out of nowhere the f3 'friends' started shouting and cursing and pushing each other.. Dad approached them abit with the 'intention of intimidating them to stop' (to me he looked like a completely ignored statue in the middle of the walk way - no offence dad). Suddenly they started kicking each other.

When dad was just about to 'interfere and stop the fight', a normal clothes policeman stopped them just in time so dad didn't have to do anything (sense the sarcasm?) , yet he still just stood there like he was 'in control' of the situation.

Saw 2 f3 guys walk pass us to he nearest clinic with one having a bleeding temple. Dad and his friend started joking the DR JOANNA can stitch it up for him given the wires, pliers and spirit from the hardware store FOC!

Apparently the bruised boy's 'friend' brought a pocket knife and cut him on the temple! Kids these days.. Isn't it like a barangan larangan in the school (no names mentioned)? What happened to the good not so old days when the only barangan larangan we brought were handphones, CDs, mp3 players, fire crackers,...etc?

HOw did I know all that? See, my dad, as his friend told me was suffering a temporary case of KPC-itis in which the body was temporarily too busy (busy body).

Summore some of the guys were wearing the school PE clothes and SCHOOL UNIFORM! How did they get so DUMB?! I mean, ANYONE in the RIGHT MIND would not even point a knife in public let alone point a knife at his friend while wearing school clothes, is about to sit for the major exam and risk being barred from the exam and expulsion? Where's the brains in that?!

Oh well, that sums it all up! Many things have happened today which lead to today being the weirdest day ever!

TANJOUBI OMEDETTOU..

2008-10-16T18:12:00.000-07:00

... to me and my 'twin' SOOK YIN!! Had a nice time last night.. Really nice of you guys (sy, waiwai, alex) to ajak me out and 'treat' me makan! This was after the makan..

Haha guess whose hand is that..? Reaching for something at the other far end of the table.. Went back to alex's house and had 'coke'. JUST coke! (*clears throat*)

In the beginning, I thought that today would be the WORST birthday ever.. I mean, who would have thought that just mere MINUTES before midnight the electricity would just DIE!! Its not just the ordinary "Let's call TNB to fix it " die, its the "Short circuit soewhere in the house! We have to find it and fix in on own" die!!! So dad and I were switching every main power source off. My laptop (source of hope on a dying battery) was left on while dad and I were searching high and low..

Apparently the fan in the living room had sparks. Dad and I disconnected the live wire, the sparks stopped BUT the electricity did not come back!! Had to wait all the way till morning then call the electrician to look at it. HOW TO SLEEP?!!? Cannot sleep when its too quite and when about too sleep, stupid mosquitoes start hovering around my ears making that annoying sound! (hot must open windows mar.. hence the mosquitoes) At then, I began to think that this was the worst birthday ever!!

One by one the birthday wishes came to which I replied them all.. Happy la, while suffering! Suddenly about 4.00am sumthing Kavin replied my message saying he was late coz he was taking a 'walk'. Who would take a walk at 4.00am? Apparently he just came back from supper ith his friends. Chatted with him for a while.. At least I was not bored..

Suddenly at about 5.30am there were 'FIREWORKS'!!! Apparently one of the elctricity lines of the nearby house blew up causing a chain reaction throughout the whole 2-3 roads. I thought there was some shoot-out between the police and some robbers, then I realised the lights of the next house flickering. I called TNB (this time can call them) straight away and reported what happened..

Still had no electricity at my house. Then, when my dad was about to send my bro to school, I decided to restart the fuse box and tweak the circuit breaker for one last time...

..AND THERE WAS LIGHT!!!

Happiest moment of my life! Didn't sleep the whole night! Parents told me to get some sleep but just couldn't coz I know if I were to sleep now, who knows when will I wake up (just in time for dinner maybe?) Haha! Seriously the weirdest birthday morning ever!

Iin desu..

2008-10-14T23:52:00.000-07:00

Today's Maths paper 1 was ok.. Paper lasted for 1hr 45 mins but I managed to finish the paper (minus the few I wasn't sure of) withing 1hour. Had to sketch 2 graphs (I HATE GRAPHS!!). Left that and 2 more unsure questions for th 2nd round.. Managed to finish everything and check with 10 minutes to go.. I was feeling bored (and cold! and annoyed - guy sniffling beside me) so I decided to write all my answers on the question paper with the intention of checking later.. Who knew that it was actually a CLOSED PAPER!! Wasted my effort for no reason! Well, at least I let time pass without being bored.

No exams till next week! (That's mainly why Im online right now..) YAY!! In 2 days time get to celebrate a BIG day! Haha.. So sad have to celebrate during exams.. Well, kinda used to it already lorr.. Every year also during exams.. Haihzz.. At least get treated for dinner by my parents! Will be looking foward to it!

Nakitai!!

2008-10-13T22:50:00.000-07:00

I seriously want to cry right now!! Chemistry practical is such a screw up!! I mean sure, nobody could finish the paper but THAT itself is SO FUSTRATING!!! Don't even have any time to finish up all my calculations! In the beginning there were already problems with my apparatus! I mean one was stuck and the other was leaking! How great was that! I didn't discover the leaking one until the mid of the exam.. I had to practically drain all the solution out, clean the other burette and use that, took me more that 5 minutes (precious time)!!

Then when I wanted to take distilled water from the main dispenser the stupid thing broke and I caused such a problem with all that water flying out under pressure! I even wet the sleeve of my lab coat! Then we had to deal with potassium manganate (IV)!! The worst solution that can ever be provided! I mean, there was never once I dealt with that solution without staining my clothes or hands and the reading is so hard to see!!

The others were kinda OK but too time consuming. Before i realised it, there was only 5 minutes left! I only managed to fill in the stuff that I could do easily and took lots of marks, that also not enough! I really have nothing nice to say today, didn't even have the appetite to eat but was forced by my dad.. Now I'm in my room feeling bad for myself and scolding myself like crazy! Have to get over it soon though.. Have Maths tomorrow!

Nagai no POST!!!

2008-10-10T08:00:00.000-07:00

Wow! It has been such a long time since I updated!! Actually I wanted to update yesterday but somehow my internet was not at its best! Well, I don't think I would be updating anytime soon coz of my finals. What a drag!! From Oct14 till Nov21!!! So long!!! Well, at least it gives me time to study in between.

Just two random pictures showing how 'rajin' my classmate can be..

The first picture is actually books! 4 of them! 4 freaking thick and heavy books borrowed from the library (Refer to the faint stamp marks)!! The second pic is actually workings for 1 particullar page on maths past year. All three copies of them! The one on the right was the 1st attempt, on the left was the 2nd more organised attempt and the middle one was the 3RD 'I feel like doing it again so Im scribbling on the paper' attempt!!! I'll post when there is a fourth..

Karaoke is fun!! Well, I've never been to one before but I tried on my computer. I joined this online karaoke community where we do cover songs on our fav artists!! Its really fun getting to compile our songs with other ppl's and listening to the end result. Of coure there would be out tunes here and there but hey!, the mic can be blamed for many things!! XD

I even downloaded this software which is really cool! I recorded my voice for this song 5 times covering 5 different individuals!! The software allows a person to change the pitch of their recorded voice but I preferred to change my voice while recording manually.. I did that, downloaded the PV then dubbed the song with my voice!! I love technology! I even posted the video on a video sharing website *hint hint* and got a good comment and 5 stars!! The number of views also exceeded the numbers I got for my other videos! Not to blow my own trumpet, but can't help it.. I'm so excited!!

There has been something bothering me since the beginning of this year and I finally decided to FINALLY draw a conclusion! I have spotted 3 JE look-alikes in my college! 2 guys that look like one skinny and one buff Shige (Kato Shigeaki), even with the same hairstyle although Shige is kinda blond-ish now; and one girl that looks like a female version of Taipi (Fujigaya Taisuke) curly hair and all, but longer!! There I said it! I would take a picture and make comparison but that would just be so weird! They don't know me and taking their pics would make me a stalker? Haha! Oh well, to make sure I always make a comparison my my head when I see them..

Natsukashii..

2008-09-28T20:38:00.000-07:00

I was on the way out of GIANT when I saw a small stall selling 'explosives' with a licence.. I felt so nostalgic seeing one of the snappers that were shut aside somewhere in my memory for more than 10 years.. Yeap, it was THAT long since I played it..

Look familiar? Im sure everybody has played it at least once in their lifetime.. Uneccesarily wasting energy and money by throwing small balls on the floor just o make sounds.. I bought one packet to play with my bro since he has never played nor seen it before just to share one of my childhod memories with him..

Pic Spam!!

2008-09-18T05:18:00.000-07:00

Im finally gonna upload the pix I had in my phone for a long long time.

This was from the impulsive decision of sy, wai wai and I to suddenly go out to Pyramid to makan and catch up.. Going home time was really fun. Taking load of pics in the car! Posing at every traffic stop!! When reaching home, I decided to take a cite pic of sy and wai wai in the car..

I was trying to record this very nice song from youtube but ended up asking lynn for the song coz the one i recorded was not so clear. The chelsea-msia match ticket, I think I already threw it away.. Took me 2 days to finish this bracelet. Ended up making it into a bookmark and giving it to my mom..

I got bored in the restaurant and started to take 'artistic' pictures using the glasses..

Pics I took in Putrajaya. The garden is actualli IN a building. The main feature in the 3rd pic is the small fountain (water feature) hehe.. I was just aiming from that.. The prawns and crabs looked very interesting so i took a pic of them.. So expensive! RM25 pre prawn/crab!! But still considered kinda cheap if u were to compare with other countries..

Gakkou Ikou!

2008-09-17T06:52:00.000-07:00

Haihzz.. Goin back college tomorrow. I can say that I wasted my study break. Didnt do any studying. All I did was revision work HALF-HEARTEDLY.. My exams are DOOMED!!!

Well, I can't say that it was a cmplete waste. I got to finish 2 Jdrama series starring non other than Nishikido Ryo~chan!!! He's such an angel in Attention Please! and yet such a devil in Last Friends. Really respect him for taking up a role knowing that everybody is gonna hate his character. Maou finally ended! Story is so anti-climax man!!! Don't like the ending! Wanna change it but I suppose that's the best way to end such a suspense filled drama. Replacing Maou would be Ryusei no Kizuna starring Nishikido Ryo (kya!!~), Ninomiya Kazunari (kya!!~X2) and Toda Erika! Another suspense drama I'm looking foward to.. (PS: I'm not the really kya kya type but I really couldn't think of any other way to express my excitement)

I was taking a few random pix today in Putrajaya when I realized that my phone card memory is REALLY filling up. Maybe later I'll upload some of the pics to clear my memory. If you were wondering why I was in Putrajaya, I was at the Marriage Dept. Don't get too excited.. Nobody is getting married.. I just went there coz my family members had some matters to settle. Then I realized that working in the Marriage Dept. is quite satisfying! You get to provide couples with happiness by issuing legalising their marriage but also remain depressed that you still remain single.. Haha.. (something to contemplate about)

Otsukare..

2008-09-04T20:56:00.000-07:00

YAY!!! TRIAL EXAMS FINISHED!!!

Next is the FINALS!! I wanna cry adi.. Today was the last paper, Bio Practicals. I know I already lost 6 marks coz I didn't answer the question properly.. STUPID FILTER PAPER!!! At least It was easier than the ones Ms Lena gave us. Those were killers!

Im gonna FAIL my PHYSICS and THINKING SKILLS!! I mean, the Phy paper was so hard! I couldn't even finish the objective... OBJECTIVE!! Joanna never 'cannot finish' objective!! Had no time left, just have to simple aim and TEMBAK! Thinking Skills also.. Haihzz.. I also what I was doing for paper 2. Hopefully Chem I get better marks than before..

2nd Sept I was supposed to go Sunway College to celebrate Vanessa's bday. Really wanted to go and suprise her (ps: suprise party) but I was scared I couldn't make it home in time to give my bro and his friend classes. Initially I told my dad that I wanted to go but I canceled last minute coz I thought I had to be a responsible person. Then my dad said:

"if that's the case, follow me to 1u buy bus tickets"
"what about my class?"
"Owh, I thought you were going to Vanessa's bday so I canceled class for you"
"I said I was going for the party but I didn't say that I was going to cancel class!!!"
"Whatever, let's go okay?"

..........

I really didn't know what to reply.. Sad..

Oh well! Now its a Happy Happy Holiday!! So happy!! Hehe.. Time to catch up on all the dramas I missed!!!

TANOSHII!!

2008-08-29T20:38:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was GREAT! Thanks Lee Mei for the makan! Really missed you man! Got to meet everybody after SOOOO LONG!!! We should do this kinda thing more often.. However, the one thing I just CAN'T understand is the SUNWAY people talking all their SUNWAY "stuff". Haihzz.. What to do.. Poor Sarah and I were left out.. Sarah prejudiced adi! Whenever the SUNWAY PPL start their own talk and we don't understand, she would be like " Sunway ppl talking".. Funny man! I tell you, we just can't stop snapping photos! Everybody was like "let's take a pic", "I never take pic with you yet", 'Ey YOU! Take pic for us!"!!! Haha.. In the restaurant, in Starbucks, in the car... Wow cannot stop. Summore that time got the 'Latte at 8' thing goin on at Starbucks. Sarah was like "OMG! I wanna take pic with JLo!!" At the end also take pic. Funny man, he started joking with us!

After that it began to get boring... Everybody was like "wanna go drink", "cannot coz underaged", "no money", "belanja me", "I wanna go home", "Im driving", "Going GILA" (That's what we do best).... Many Many! At the end also we were like loitering in front of Pyramid with nothing to do.. Cakap kosong and going gila.. Finally we decided LETS GO HOME!! Ok.. Hugs and kisses we went home. Funla.. Long time never see you guys mar.. We should do this more often *except the lepaking part*

Juuken..

2008-08-23T00:58:00.000-07:00

Well, its a little late to say but here goes.. MY TRIALS HAVE STARTED!!! Its official.. I'm so not prepared!!! Did my Phy practicals. The 1st exp was ok but the 2nd one was such a killer!! Hated it so much man!! Next week starts the exam marathon, beginning with Chem practicles.. Haihz.. At least I'm starting to do revision with my Chem. Hopefully I get good marks..

Can't wait to see you Lee Mei! Kesian la.. The government didn't stop Avril's concert for you. Don't worry, concert or not, I'll still come see you!!

Wahh!! Maou plot thickens!!! Oh-chan is such a great actor! He should have more dramas!!

Shiawase!

2008-08-13T01:44:00.000-07:00

Wahaha.. Finally finished Moral! I no longer have anything to do with any Malaysian Compulsory Subjects. Happiness!!!

Today was the Chemistry Workshop. I didn't participate because well, I'm considered as average.. Along with another four. That's right.. EVERYBODY from my class joined the workshop except fot the 'average' five (Janice, me, Fang Yi, Jack, Gao Lung). Wonder why? Well, majority of my classmates either scored EXTREMELY HIGH marks for the exams or EXTREMELY LOW. Oh well, its always the two extremes in my class...

By joining the workshop, they had to miss the last subject of the day... Maths. Obviously they didn't mind.. When Ms. Goh entered, everybody was like BYE BYE MISS GOH~! Poor thing, she was so blurr!!! Janice and Fang Yi decided that the wanted to "join" the workshop.

So all that were left were just me, the 2 guys and Ms. Goh... So empty, so quiet.. (Never happens in my class, rare occasion) At the end teacher asked whether wanna continue doing the homework that she gave earlier. I finished earlier so I told her that I told her that I finished... That she asked the other two. They also 'finished'. "Then OKlah! You guys can go back", "OK, thanks Ms. Goh... You can go back to your office now.. Bye Bye!!!"

Haha.. At the end, class tak jadi! happy la.. Get to go home early! But then, I still haven't started studying on my Bio coz tomorrow got test! Aiyah.. So sad man, life so hard.. Oh well, better start studying!!

Tsukareta!

2008-08-11T04:35:00.000-07:00

Fuh.. Tired too da max! Today we had a Biology Workshop to help those students that were kinda weak in Bio. Had to skip Maths for the 2 whole hours of non-stop talking. Note: I was the student helper and the one doin the non-stop talking was ME!! Wah so tiring. Finished my whole bottle during the 2 hours. At first I was kinda confused. How come there were more student helpers than students? Summore the lecturer wanted the group the students and let 1 helper handle a group. Only 3 helpers came from my class. The lecturer asked Jason to handle these 3 guys and that left Siew Pei and I wondering around with nothing to do..

At the end, we joined Jason's group. Lebih-lebih lagi, Jason 4got to bring his paper causing him 2 copy both Siew Pei's and my paper. Initially we wanted the ask the guys to do the paper 1st than if got prob, ask.. But in the end one of them asked me to help him out in mere seconds. Explained to him 1 question, ended up guiding him through the whole paper, leaving Jason with the other 2 guys. Siew Pei eventually got another group.. So enthusiastic man that girl. For me, I was thinking how come its like 1 to1 when it was supposed to be a group discussion. Better la.. I can handle things better that way. Finally finished the session, I was like.. IT IS FINISHED!!! Took a breather and ALOT of H2O.

Was supposed to have Physics test today but lecturer fell sick so tak jadi. Oh well, I sure hope he won't have it tomorrow! I don't want to study for Physics AND MORAL (my 'best' friend). Tomorrow Moral EXAM!!! How?!?! Never study!! Hopefully my assignment marks would help boost my grades. Making videos not easy kay? Especially when you have to start from scratch.

YAY!!! LEE MEI COMING BACK!!! However, its during my exams. Nevermind, don't worry, I shall try to make time to meet you! Will be looking foward to meeting you again. Tell the others kay? Then we can go out together!!!

As of today, I'm seriously freaking out..! Getting paranoid over the trials coming soon. Ms Hema was like "your trials next Monday right?" I went "!!!!!!!". Good thing someone said no.. next next Monday. Kinda cooled off but still!!! Scary man.. Oh well, enough about that.. I don't wanna get anymore paranoid..

Later I have to get ready for church. We're going to have a 24 hour non-stop prayer session starting tonight! I'm dancing later tonight AND tomorrow.. Have to wear my flowing white attire and 'sotong'. Don't mind the sotong, we call it that coz the bottom part of it was cut into many tentacle looking things. Its kinda cool though.. I heard the mothers are going to dance too! I'm sure its going to be fun seeing the special collaboration!!! Chat asked me to wear make up. I HAVE NO MAKE UP!!! I don't really know how to put make up. I always end up screwing it up.

I went online today thinking wow its Friday! I can finally go online and check up on the new manga updates and videos..! To my dismay.. NO MANGA! SLOW CONNECTION!! CANNOT WATCH VIDEOS!!! CANNOT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING!!!!! so sad..

Oh well, I suppose I better go off and prepare for church! Hopefully by the time I come back, at least the manga would be updated..

Suppaa Idoru Aiba-chan~! I really love his dorkiness! Ok that was random. Bio class was really funny today. Ms Lena was like "OK, so your bile will go along your small intestine along with your digested food then it would exit your body through your...". The 4 boys at the back had to say.. PENIS!!! Ms Lena thhen said sarcastically, "and yeah, your prostate gland is connected to your asshole!!" Haha, new discovery!!

Haihzz.. I still haven't finished my Thinking Skills homework. Wanna finish it but you can't THINK while watching TV.

Oh well, just wanted to talk about the joke of the day... Hope to update soon!

Wow! It has been like 1 month since I updated. Lee Mei already bugging me to update. hehe.. Explains how busy I was during the month. Its been so hectic time seems to fly pass so fast man!! Trials dis month! Arghh!! Haven;t started my studying yet. Summore my practicals are up first! Hate practicals man. I mean I don't mind doing them taking my sweet time (the whole 2 hrs - working do at home), but the exams are crazy! So rush! I can't even manage to get at least a 50% on my Biology practicals. Not only practicals, aiyo so much work to do with so little time and guess what? - I'm actually wasting my time goin online.. What to do? Friday mar.. Get to end class early summore!

Enough about exams. They just freak me out. 2 weeks ago was officially dubbed as PM9's sick week. We had something like the class virus. Funny, people would NORMALLY keep class pets. Well the whole class fell sick. Everybody came down with a flu, cough, sore throat, even food poisoning also got!!! My parents told me that it should be a very stong virus to get me so sick. Hated that week. I mean, who would like to sit in class making all the weird trumpeting sounds when the lecterure was teaching in class? Furthermore, I had to worry about a dripping nose!

Had to make anothe LAN video. Seriously, I'm sick of videos! I found it really hard to do this one as it was about religion. Serious wan! Cannot make it funny. So it was not that interesting.. The only thing I liked about the video was the nature pictures I put and the background music. I told it to Sook Yin and she told me faster transfer to Sunway and change coarse. Haha.. Maybe I should. But then again, I'm sick of it. Physics teacher tol our class since our class so creative can make nice videos for LAN, why not make 1 for Physics. I was an immediate flat out NO!!!

I really had a big scare yesterday. My dad told my to download something his friend sent though my email, so I decided to use my laptop because the othe computer was kinda broken. What shocked my was that my computer could not acces the Internet! Waah! Worst day od my life! I was such a scare. I couldn't even fix it! So I told dad that I couldn't access the Internet. He was shocke also. "Tomorrow Friday right? What are you going to do without your Internet?" That's what! How was I gonna survive? Thank God that I could access the Internet today to tell the tale! I couldn't explain what happened. I just connected like any other day. Yet, when I restarted the computer again and again yesterday, I still couldn't connect. I thinks its a sign from God. He knows whats good for me. If I could have connected to the Internet yesterday, I would have wasted more time than I already did. In a way I'm thankful but that was scaaary...

I've been thinking of changing my blog layout. As you can see, its kinda boring. Wanted to make it into my theme. "shiro" (white). Have been finding many pictures that I could use as my background but was to caught up finding pictures, I ended up with about over 50 of them! Really want to start getting to it but I'm really just too buzy (lazy). Besides, trials are just about the corner so I really have to start revising (procrastinating). maybe I just lost the mood.

New drama update!!! Yasuko to Kenji (Matsuoka Masahiro(TOKIO), Ohkura Tadayoshi(Kanjani∞))has a lot of potential. Its really interesting. By just watching the first episode you can actually laugh till you run out of breath. Its so funny. Well, something I like about its is that its not so draggy. In the first episode, so many things were revealed. Ganbatte Tacchon! Maou (Ohno Satoshi (Arashi), Ikuta Toma) what else can you say when you put 2 funny and hot (mostly funny) JE guys on the same show? Ohno looks so know-it-all in this show, not to mention is a two-faced lawyer who is like a saviour on the outside but an evil destroyer on the inside. So cool, calm, evil, sinister, and feared, in contrast of his actual dorky self. His acting is SUPERB!!! What else can you expect from Toma? He is such a great actor! As uexpected, he gets the hot-headed character. Its kinda great that you can see him act cool and dorky at the same time! This drama is so complex! One guy seeking revenge on another and the latter chasing the unknown murderer of his closest people which is the guy plotting revenge!! What I tell you, it really complex. In short its like a cycle that doesn't end, a dor chasing its tail.

Wow!! I wrote so much. I didn't really sum up the whole month though.. Oh well, I can always continue tomorrow (if I want to...). That's all for now!
つづく...

New semester started already. Not enough holidays man. Couldn't stop saying ' I wanna go home!!!' today. A we did today was discuss our exam papers, making me more depressed. Chemistry was the worst man! I was so hard. But I'm quite happy with my Biology though, eventhough I still have to aim higher. Hoshi wo Mezashite!!! (Aim for the Stars) Hehe.. My Physiscs Paper 1 really saved me! Without it, sure can't get A! Even with it also I'm at the border line. So sad man!

Well I got bored today so I went online. Perhaps its the withdrawal symtoms thanks to 2 weeks straight with the computer. Now I'm hooked. I forgot to upload some pictures, the ones I took in Singapore. So here they are..
This fountain was actually dancing! So kewl!

The shaker room to culture orchids in the Botanical Gardens

Wow! So close to the Komodo Dragon! Nolah.. Just a sculpture..

I also took some random pictures back home.. Lee Mei and I bought a zipper bag for Kash. I find it kinda cute. Got one for myself also. We also got her a bday card. Obviously we just HAD to give her a really sarcastice one! HEHE..

Well I guess thats it for now! Hope to post soon!

Well, actually, I came back a week ago, just didn't have the will to post it. Well, thats how its gonna be, I won't post often. Well, I went by what was said to be a 6 star double-decker coach with nice food and comfortable seat... BUT!!! Wow there were so many problems man.. Of course it was filled with people and my dad and I sat at the back. Halfway through the trip, the air-cond decided to cry/sweat whatever you call it. The worst part is, it had to do it right above me!!!

Good thing they had a pillow so i used it to 'protect' me.. But in the end it got SOO wet as if it was soaked in water! If you can see the wet pattern..

I got so bored I started to take random pictures.. I took a pictire of something that seemed like face with glowy eyes and a nose! Its kinda pretty though.. You would never have guessed what it actually was..

It was actually the lights and air-cond controller switch! What do you know.. 2 faces at different states..

Then I started to take random pictures...

My 2 rubik's cubes!!! Came back with another 2! So all together I have 4 now! Its so much cheaper in Singapore!!!

Lotte Plus X Apple! So sweet even when its sugar free.. I still like it though.. KAT-TUN promoted this in their CM! I also had Lemon but thought it was too troublesome to bring 2 packets of gum on a 4 day trip!

I was looking though my passport and realised that I left my Japan tickets in it! Glad I didnt throw it! Proof that I went there. Reallu miss it! Wanna go back there again! from left: KL to Osaka, Osaka to Tokyo, Tokyo to KL.

Then on the same day (wow tiring) went to Takashimaya to meet Lee Mei! Wanted to go there coz wanted to but mags in Kinokuniya. Didnt have Potato or Wink up!, but at least had Duet. Wanted to meet Lee Mei outside Kino but SOMEBODY cam a little late so I decided to kill time and make my way to the main entrance. Suddenly somebody called my name and there she was in her 'working' baju. Screamed and hugged until people were looking at us! haha that was so funny!

We decided to go watch Kungfu Panda. So funny man! I think we were the loudest in the cinema. Before the movie, while waiting, we decided to go makan since Lee Mei didn't eat her dinner yet.. Couldn't hep but just take picture of the cute girl eating...

Wow we really did talk a lot man! Go jalan-jalan wanna buy stuff but all most of the shops closed adi! So early closed. Went to MRT but someone wanted to eat ice cream. Summore no food allowed in the station..

Haha! Caught red handed!!!

Wah! Next day go out again. Go suntec city so crowded! Walk dunu how many kilometres IN the shopping complex. Go walk back and forth dunu how many times. At least we had fun! Watched another movie.. The Incredible Hulk. Well, Lee Mei found it boring. To me its... 'ok lah'... Bought many things man! New Rubik's Revolution!!! Yay! Went home by MRT. While waiting for the train, we took pics!

Ha.. Had lots of fun there!!! Thanks Lee Mei for the fun!! Miss you!

Exams finished adi!!! So happy! No need 2 study so hard for the next few weeks! URESHII! Will be going to Singapore 2moro! Haven't packed yet though.. Gonna see my long (not dat long) lost friend LEE MEI!! Miss her so much! When I emailed her, she so excited! Wanna go Kinokuniya in Singapore. Wanna buy dis month's edition of 'Potato' or 'Duet'. Missed last month's though..

By the way, I got some pics from dat day when we went out..

Really had a good time guys! Sorry I kinda ruined the mood wif my ribiks cube (which I happened to have solved)

How?

2008-06-04T01:31:00.000-07:00

Ok.. Im back! Came back last Sunday.. I now have less than a week to study for my exams and guess what? Im online doing THIS!!! So sad! Got Chem mini test tomorrow to test on how much I ACTUALLY know before I take the exams. Haven't ever started studying yet! Gone la...

Instead of studying, Im actually watching dramas! Somehow the new eppie of Gokusen is not out yet! IM DEPRIVED! I just finished Byakkotai. Kinda boring at first but at the end so sad! Yamapi so kakkoi! Koki and Fujigaya also acted well in the show! I found it weird that Koki was singing an old traditional lullaby with a 'pop' tune.. Makes the song nicer though..

Ok.. I think thats about it for now.. Maybe I'll post some pictures next time.. For now, have to go study.. (If I can..)

2008-05-30T01:43:00.000-07:00

I know the title seems to be exteme.. Im new to all these this so Im just gonna take it easy. I've realised that many of my friends and classmates have blogs which seem to be fun, so I thought, Why not? Not sure of how often I can update though..

So yea, lets start with my ramblings.. Exams coming soon!!! Never started studying! Going Melaka tomorrow! I realised all these distractions come when my exams are near.. Same thing happened for SPM and all the other previous exams.. Going to have to study during my Melaka trip but not so sure whether can actually remember or not. My Physics and Chemistry almost no hope. Im so lost especially for Physics. How la?

Enough about exams, today my class celebrated a 'belated' teachers day. Ms Goh kinda found out in the moring when she saw the presents (mugs signed by us). The interesting part is that they actually came thinking it was Kai Hoe's birthday. Poor thing, became the scapegoat for all of us. When the lecturers found out it was actually for them, they all went along but the wierd part is.. Even when we brought out the cakes and candles for the lecturers and they all blew the candles, Mrs Brooke didn't coz she still thought it was for Kai Hoe's birthday.. So blurr.. had to relight the candles for her. So funny man. I think we caused a huge mess in the cafeteria. The cake was nice though. Too bad it was used as weapons to throw at each other (lecturers included). Never thought that such things can happen.. Chasing each other around the cafeteria like that.. Good thing I stayed at the 'safe' side.

Haihzz.. I thought of coming online today so I can watch Gokusen 3 but its not out yet! I wanna see Takaki Yuya! Kakkoi! But at least I could read the new manga chapters for Naruto and Bleach. Yamapi's new drama is going to come out soon! Wanna watch! This time he gets to become a (hawt) doctor! His drama is also starring Aragaki Yui and Toda Erika. Hope its nice! But the part I hate about new dramas is that you have to wait every week for 1 epi to come out, like now Im waiting for Gokusen 3.
