All I Ever Wanted

OMG!

My dad bought me a D90 for getting 7As!

and I finally got All I Ever Wanted! (DUH, Kelly Clarkson's not-so-new album) Hui Min gave it to me for christmas.

and it was the deluxe edition not the normal one somemore!

Awesome!

now gotta read that D90 manual.

suck at using manual thingys...

(for now)

darn it. darn it!

why didn't i make a deal with my dad???

parents were asking about whether i want a Macbook Pro, iBook, iPod touch or iPhone yesterday.

(oh yea, i got straight As) XD

but what they didn't get was i didn't really want those!

I only want one thing, which is the thing i've been dying to get for almost a year, the thing that made me work hard (well, pretty hard, could have worked harder) for all As in PMR.

DUH

a D90

now got addicted to some korean drama called Cruel Temptations.

super extra complicated story, my aunt had to explain it 5 times before i understood the start (she was watching disk 8 of 13 which is episode 70+ i think)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

I'M BACK!

whether u like it or not. haha.

OMG.

im so excited.

PMR results.

then immediately drive to JB

for X'mas.

can't wait

Live like we're dying

Let me tell you this. If I were truly ti live like I was dying, I wouldn't watch the stupid music video.

After all Kris Allen advises us in the song, he gives us a boring, lousy music video that's a waste of your 4 minutes.

Or maybe it's the director's fault.

Either way, it nearly put me to sleep.

It was like, singing, playing with the mike stand,

playing guitar, playing piano, playing with the mike stand again,

playing guitar, playing piano

and

all the time there's a huge countdown behind him.

BORING!

but the song is quite meaningful, although it doesn't suit him at all.

Maybe...

it's time for MIRACLES?

Feel like watching 2012 now. After watching Adam Lambert's Time for Miracles music video.

Looks cool.

Although the world is ending thing doesn't interest me... It looks cool.

Darn it. Can't embed. Nevermind. Click HERE

Can't wait for Bangkok!

XD

... and so huimin spake with words of wisdom: "swt."

yes, spake, huimin. spake. it ain't no typo.

gosh, i hate that word. spake.

do you know how hard wading through lines and lines of medieval speak is?

Just finished the Rivan Codex by David Eddings.

It isn't really a story. More like a compilation of the history of the countries in his fantasy world that he wrote before starting the Belgariad and Malloreon series.

It's a nice series. If you like fantasy, especially Eragon, you'd probably like it.

2 series, 10 books, 2 prequels and the compilation thingy which is quite boring.

*sigh*

Now my head is spinning with Prophecies, Gods, Destinies, Choices, EVENTS, Seeres, crazy emperors, sorcerers and sorceresses. And medieval speak with all the thees, thous and forasmuches. I don't even know how you use forasmuch in a sentence.

Can't wait for our Bangkok/Chiang Mai trip!

Then to JB and Singapore for Christmas.

AND THEN...

PMR Results.

nice.

My Life Would Suck Without You is 7th on AOL's Top 10 Songs For 2009!

yes, I honestly have nothing else to do than search up random stuff like this.

Found it on Kelly Clarkson's notes on Facebook la.

Whitney Houston's I Look To You music video is lame and boring.

:X

i don't know what to do now.

i really don't know what to do now.

feel so frickin' useless here...

my favourite quote:

why me?

new moon

huimin, nat and zi ying LOVED it. They said it was much, much better than Twilight.

I, however, was not really impressed. OK, it didn't suck. But, as I said, it wasn't impressive.

Edward, as usual, looked horrible. He looked worse than in Twilight. In the Volturi part, he took off his shirt.

Huimin and I groaned.

"Please get a shirt back on!" was what we wanted to scream. Seriously, he looked terrible.

Oh yeah. And Bella screams like a stupid girl.

I liked Jane, though. So heartless. *evil laugh*

And all the songs sucked.

Still not happy that Kelly Clarkson's Did You didn't make it into the soundtrack.

Why is it too rock for New Moon?

I think Supermassive Black Hole is pretty rock too.

Oh well.

Feel kinda gloomy right now...

Angel - Sarah McLachlan

Spend all your time waiting

For that second chance

For a break that would make it okay

There's always one reason

To feel not good enough

And it's hard at the end of the day

I need some distraction

Oh beautiful release

Memory seeps from my veins

Let me be empty

And weightless and maybe

I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of an angel

Fly away from here

From this dark cold hotel room

And the endlessness that you fear

You are pulled from the wreckage

Of your silent reverie

You're in the arms of the angel

May you find some comfort there

So tired of the straight line

And everywhere you turn

There's vultures and thieves at your back

And the storm keeps on twisting

You keep on building the lie

That you make up for all that you lack

It don't make no difference

Escaping one last time

It's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh

This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

In the arms of an angel

Fly away from here

From this dark cold hotel room

And the endlessness that you fear

You are pulled from the wreckage

Of your silent reverie

You're in the arms of the angel

May you find some comfort there

You're in the arms of the angel

May you find some comfort here

Gotta admit, Sarah McLachlan's version is the best.

Her voice and the muted piano captures the mood perfectly.

Kelly Clarkson's version isn't as good. Though I like the face that the string part is louder in her version. :)

I HATE MPS!!!

OMG. The acoustic version of Behind These Hazel Eyes is awesome!

I'm going crazy again. On a Youtube spree right now... :)

really, Kelly Clarkson is so talented!

new favourite song: Because of You

I know it's really very old but it's such an amazing song (sad too). What's more amazing is that she wrote the song when she was 16.

It's like her most successful song ever. It's almost like her signature song. Whenever you think of Kelly Clarkson, you'll think of Because of You.

I can't stand Leona Lewis' accent.

i'm just glad things are back to normal.

at least. closer to normal than it has been for a while.

had to re-install EVERYTHING on the laptop cos of some spyware. *sigh*

all my files took like 1 hour plus to copy to the hard disk.

*grins*

apparently, i use up 23GB of space. my dad who has been using the comp for way longer only uses 2GB.

but it's mostly my pics. the whole file is 18GB and my music is 3GB only. oh well...

i missed google chrome. had to use mozilla to download it again and it's like so weird. not used to it already. haha

at least chrome is working now. before we re-installed everything, i couldn't mafia with it. haha. now i can

*big smile*

now, if you'll excuse me, i have a book to finish reading.

Just one spark starts a fire

send it on sounds so leo-ish.

DAMN

i've been neglecting my leo stuff. great, great, great.

why did i go for the interview again?

i dun wanna go for fellowship night!

but it sounds like BODs don't have a choice.

great.

i love my life right now.

so little time...

it seems that so little time has passed since we finished PMR...

been busy since then. (yes, i was BUSY, every one else seems to think that I was free like... someone who has finished PMR)

Life after PMR is... not exactly blissful. I never thought it would be. Cos after PMR, I knew that I had no more reason to put off stuff I have been putting off. (e.g: piano, MPS, camp, that stupid boring book my dad is bugging me to read...)

oh well, at least I don't have to study. It's weird. Every time I switch off the computer, I will glance at my pile of books and think to myself that I should be doing some revision. Then I will remember that PMR is actually over.

If PMR wasn't PMR, it would be a lot of fun. So much free time to hide in my favourite hiding place (guess where) between papers.

And after stock check, just sitting in the library (THE room, to be exact) playing Monopoly Deal, Boggle, monopolizing the room, annoying Pn M, and sometimes being the slave is VERY fun. It would take more than a month to get bored with that routine.

I'm going to miss it.

It's weird now, cos I'm NOT looking forward to the holidays. It seems like there's not enough of post-PMR/stock check hiding in THE room time. I'm still holding on to the last few hours I get as a post-PMR form 3.

I'm going to miss friends.

Emily's going off to Australia. Hui Min only can go out during weekdays. Jes? No idea. Me? I'm going to Bangkok/Chiang Mai next month.

I'm going to miss annoying Pn M!

Oh well, back to wondering why the internet is so sucky, bugging people about MPS, worrying about it and looking for places to go for camp. Yay! What else? Trying not to annoy my dad when I tell him that although I don't have school, I still have to attend shift next week, wishing that Em and HM could go to the same tuition class as me and wondering who will teach me Sejarah and English next year. Oh yeah, and worrying about PMR results and my next year class.

nice

Roasted, Smoked, then BBQ-ed!

"Shit! It's raining!"

I hope they have a back up plan... I thought to myself. Poor Leannza, she'll probably be stressing out while I wait for my dad to announce that we're leaving.

It wasn't long before I was standing outside school. I blinked. I blinked again.

There seemed to be an unusually big amount of people in the canteen. I didn't remember seeing so many names on the list.

At closer inspection, I realized that they were prefects (or mostly prefects). However, I spotted a group of librarian-ish looking people and quickly headed there. Guess what?

The librarian-ish looking people looked librarian-ish because.....

*drum rolls*

They were librarians?

DUH. How could you have not known? Any idiot would be able to put two and two together.

(In a nonsense mood now)

Anyway, for a little while, I looked around aimlessly and followed Yi May around like a faithful puppy. After watching Nigel snapping countless pictures, I decided to do the same.

Did I mention that I hate camera flashes? At least, compact camera flashes?

Well, did I mention that I hate slow shutter speeds when you don't use flash?

Can't be helped but I still get annoyed. Especially if that subject moves. Especially if you're moving subject is Leannza Chia the annoying moving subject. Or fire. Or Kar Yew.

Besides that, watching the fire grow from non-existent to minuscule to tiny to small to BBQ-able is fun. I will upload the pictures when my Google Chrome stops being stupid.

Hui Min arrived and I was a little less lost. Half raced Leannza up to the library (I won of course) and became the lock person. Seems that Leannza sucks at unlocking the front door.

Got dumped with Pn M's phone and was told to wait for the ice-man to come. Got wet hugging/carrying the ice in. (At least I could carry it without tripping over it)

We got roasted while waiting fot the meat to be cooked. Smoked to.

And just like every time our gang gets together, we laughed like crazy. Made up stupid jokes and statements. We decided that we wanted to hear Pn M say "Be careful, honey" in a sickly sweet voice because we just couldn't imagine her saying it. I could only imagine her saying it with a sarcastic edge to it.

Didn't really have time to play. Only got past 1 game of Monopoly Deal before we had to unwillingly slave for Pn M again.

One day, I'm going to compile a NEW set of jobs a Naib Pengerusi does. You will ROFL at at least half of it. You will stare incredulously at the other half.

Now I'm in a vocab-crazy person mood. Let's cook up some really indecipherable stuff for you... hehe. It will befuddle you.

Nah. Lazy. Later I miss-spell.

New formula:

Librarians + Crazy form 3 gang + not-so-crazy form 4 gang + Crazy Teacher + not-crazy-at-all teacher + Weird ex-pengerusi + BBQ pit + food = AWESOMENESS!

Just so you know...

I did NOT fracture my hand.

The story is I had the misfortune to hold the target for this red-belt guy when we were practising breaking planks during taekwondo class.

I should probably mention that I have problems with my wrists. Sometimes they're fine, sometimes they just can't take too much weight. And I've injured them like this before. Twice at least.

Anyway, he happened to miss. And kicked my left wrist. Ouch. And after that, I couldn't really put much pressure on it and bend it. Hence, the need to bandage it up.

And now, the bandage is gone! I'm so glad! Now I can bend my wrist and it feels so much lighter than when I had the bandage on. It feels good to feel water on my left palm after days of not being able to wet it.

:)

Just So You Know is kinda catchy!

DeviantArt

Browsing on DeviantArt is so fun.

There are so many talented artists out there!

Just looking at photography makes me feel so small.

Wonder what I will feel when I browse drawings. o.O

But they're all awesome and it makes you feel so happy to see such beautiful pics. :)

imPermanent

well. yesterday I realized 3 things:

1. Thinking about life in general is depressing.

2. Thinking about life in general makes me hungry.

3. Everything is impermanent. So the song by David Cook is wrong. He's not permanent. I'm not permanent. You're not permanent.

How depressing. As much as you want to, you can't assure anyone that you'll be there for them always. '

anyway, I did a little something...

with GIMP.

(I'm still a newb when it comes to this so shut up and comment)

Anyway - Martina McBride

Permanent - David Cook

... I know permanent is a little weird. was playing with layers and layers :)

O.o

Taylor Swift RAPS?

found this on Chui Li's blog

Help!

I need suggestions! What, WHO to draw??

(Kinda sick of anime now)

Boggled

Kelly loves trashing people in Boggle! (or as my cousin calls in "Boogle")

Actually, got trashed by Hui Min once today. Was being very stupid and not seeing much words. I was mortified when she saw "bleed" and I didn't. Oh well.

I just realized that the library doesn't only lend books out. And I'm not talking about CDs either.

The library also lends out slaves. Yes, us!

We wereb playing untimed Boggle after typing in a few hundred numbers when Pn Ruth came in asked to borrow two librarians. Since we weren't working, we went with her. (Yes, and we can't count. Three of us went instead of two.)

We wee told to tape up or use whatever method to cover up the gaps in her shelves so that dust wouldn't be able to get in during the re-wiring. I was the "tall girl". Emily was the "tape-san" and Hui Min was the "other person" and the "scissors-san".

After we finished, we had to do Pn Mary Ann's room as well. and the cupboards outside. What really struck me when we were doing it was how quiet and deserted the place was. It really seemed like we were preparing for war, sealing up stuff before leaving, hoping that it would remain intact during the battle.

(Did I go too far?)

Who cares. I feel so lazy now. Want to draw but I don't feel like drawing. Sucks right? Weird more like.

Listening to "Bedtime Stories" in the background is annoying. All the songs about fire...

Anyway, here's my current favourite song.

Never Alone - Lady Antebellum (It's a band!) & Jim Brickman

May the angels protect you

Trouble neglect you

And heaven accept you when its time to go home

May you always have plenty

The glass never empty

Know in your belly

You're never alone

May your tears come from laughing

You find friends worth having

As every year passes

They mean more than gold

May you win and stay humble

Smile more than grumble

And know when you stumble

You're never alone

Never alone

Never alone

I'll be in every beat of your heart

When you face the unknown

Wherever you fly

This isn't goodbye

My love will follow you stay with you

Baby you're never alone

I have to be honest

As much as I wanted

I'm not gonna promise that cold winds won't blow

So when hard times have found you

And your fears surround you

Wrap my love around you

You're never alone

Never alone

Never alone

I'll be in every beat of your heart

When you face the unknown

Wherever you fly

This isn't goodbye

My love will follow you stay with you

Baby you're never alone

My love will follow you stay with you

Baby you're never alone

So when hard times have found you

And your fears surround you

Wrap my love around you

You're never alone
