XOXO

everyone needs that slice of popularity/attention they seek



We're supposed to have a full-dress rehearsal tomorrow. Cherylyn says that we, the morning session, shall not have to attend the morning assembly.
Iona: What's red, pink and yellow all over?
Me: What?
Iona: Cherylyn murdering us when she sees us at perhimpunan tomorrow.

Honestly speaking I'm very tired of the choir but I will miss it next year. It's been a great experience so far and I'm glad to see that the younger ones are responsible and full of fun enough to carry on next year's. Cherylyn might have to come back for Form 6 next year to carry on the lineage. HAHAHA. I tell you, some of us in the choir will have to be hospitalised for exhaustion after the competition.

On another note, as I was walking from the Form 3 block which was adjacent to the Dewan Makan, I saw a flash of pale pink and an oddly-proportioned top of a woman. Oh, it was just Levin in a woman's attire. Orientation week looks fun. It always is. LOLOL.

Happy fathers' day! You are the cool father and I am blessed to be your daughter. Happy father dayS.



I was reading the Sejarah text book just now and I saw that the name "Rentap" actually means "penggoncang dunia". Hmm....doesn't that translate to PlanetShakers? LOLOLOL. Rentap Malaysia. Speaking of penggoncang dunia, my sister went to the Planet Shakers concert yesterday. Lorna told me Nisha saw her, which was weird. I remembered Nisha saying she would see me at GHM which never occured...LOLOL. Piece two and two together lah. I think Nisha also went for Hillsongs last Sunday. Fun right?

Anyway, my sister bought the Arise CD and got it autographed. When she came back, I asked, very politely if she could pretty please play the CD. Well, obviously she said NO. She wouldn't even let me touch the CD case or the small paper thing in the case. It's not like I expected her to say "Go ahead and listen to the CD!" because she said no when I asked her if I could TOUCH the Fall Out Boy, Avril Lavigne, 30 Seconds To Mars and All-American Rejects CD which are in her possesion. Touch only okay! Not even LISTEN to the CD yet. That girl is....materialistic. Wasn't Madonna materialistic? Luke 12:15 says "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possesions." from the Parable of the Rich Fool. The parable makes a lot of sense and is parallel to Matthew 6:19,20. If you're wondering why am I quoting scriptures it's because I want my sister to read them.

My new english teacher asked us to read Chapters 4 and 5 of The Pearl. I wonder what is the Spanish translation for "The Pearl". La Perla, maybe? HAHAHAHA I crack myself up. The Pearl is basically a very short story about a small family and a pearl but somehow it turns out to be this mudanely long and super-emo story due to the constant additions of "The song of the Evil", "The song of the Peace", "The song of the Pearl that Might Be" and other weird songs with weird names lah. I'll read it later. It's just revision 'cos I've already read the whole of The Pearl last year.

And also, there's this superbly weird video someone sent to me:

I have yet to see the whole thing as it takes an eternity to load. Still, it makes you wonder how people like that can stoop so low to cover their flaws by using a low tech camera phone to highlight that of others. Am I making sense? But it also shows that the person who posted the video loves the school a lot as the video comes up as a search result for the full name of the school. If you want to 'sabo' your school choir team oso do it with style a bit lah...But lookie here! We have a rating of 4 and a half stars. Woo hoo! We're so going to kick their -

XOXO
PS: I just Wiki-ed La Perla. I thought La Perla was a brand of expensive lingerie. Seriously! Here: http://www.laperla.com/home2.htm Ooh! I smell something nice wafting from the corridors!

Stick thin people are....bicycles.

Sensitive weight issues ahead. Don't read if you're not open minded.

Khadijah (http://ilostmymarbles-khadijah.blogspot.com) recently blogged about this person, Ning's entry (http://mizzwong.blogspot.com/2007/06/is-thin-really-in_05.html) on stick-thin girls who want to get thinner. I couldn't agree more with what the two ladies say.

I don't complain about my weight. I don't blog about my weight because not only is it unneccesary, it's calling for attention. That put aside, I'm very, VERY pleased with how I look.

(the following is adapted from Khadi)

Seriously, what need is there to complain about your weight if:
-You weigh less than 50 kg.
-You have a stick-thin (read: stick-thin, not hourglass) figure.
-You wear clothes in S or XS.
-Everyone compliments your figure.
-You've been a model (at least once) or have been called to model for products.

What is there to complain about? Do you want to weigh 20 kg like those under-nourished African children?

By telling yourself you look fat, do you hope that people will come up to you and say you look hot stick-thin and poufy-lipped? Hun, it's not working. That's just plain pathetic.

(and then K goes on to console the girls on how they SHOULD look without touching the superficial inner beauty stuff)

K put the facts down, and that's good. But instead of consoling the girls, what I'd like to do is to support them.

Yes, you are fat. You eat too much. You drink too much. Heck, you use too much toothpaste in the morning. You want to get thin? Go ahead. Don't eat solids. Don't drink beverages. And don't use toothpaste. Just treat yourself to the occasional glass of water. Wait, cut that. Don't even THINK about reaching for that glass of water. You're on a mission, girl! You want to lose weight, remember?
You want to lose weight fast, don't you? Good! Let's hit the gym. No better way to lose all that fat by working it off, eh? It's also a million times more productive than sitting in that air-conditioned room of yours blogging about how fat you are and how you need to go on a diet, waiting for some random stranger to agree with you.
Now that I've said what was on my mind, I feel SO MUCH better. I don't bear grudges against girls who want to lose weight. I SUPPORT the girls. I know they're on a mission to a size-0 for life. What a noble, self-sacrificing mission, isn't it? Girls who already look like skeletons on a mission to dissapear completely in thin air. Someone call the news crew.

XOXO

XOXO

monday, 11th June 2007

Wow! How time flies. One second it's January and the next it's April and now we're in June! In exactly less than 6 months we will be sitting for the dreaded SPM. Gosh, I already feel guilty for sitting here, typing this.

Today i had a chat with one of my friends. She told me about her relationship with a guy and i couldn't help but feel shocked most of the time. i wasn't shocked because of her story but shocked that she at that age already has one. call me kolot or whatever but it really surprised me.

What i think about getting into a relationship is if you're still young, don't do it. not only are you emotionally immature, you're still young and you are free! Think about it. having a bf/gf is akin to owning a pet. You have to bathe it, walk it, feed it, talk to it to avoid it from being suicidal, (jk) spend money on it, spend your time on it and tell all of your secrets to it.

Logically, i think, having a pet is much easier than having a bf/gf. Think about it. A pet will not cheat on you. A pet can pretty much live without much pampering. And a pet, be it a cat, dog, fish, hamster or horse will NEVER tell your secrets to anyone else. being attached, on the other hand....well, let's say you have this bf. You tell him EVERYTHING, even your littlest and biggest secret. ALL of your secrets. Then he breaks up with you. i wonder where will those secrets go to? Definately not to the grave with him. HAHAHAHAHA sorry i feel so mean now.

I have to say this to Pisang, though: If you don't like how people keep inviting you to rallies, you tell me who they are and i will tell them to stop bugging you. Seriously. For you, i'd go to lengths to make sure you're not bothered. However, do keep in mind that Jesus told us to go to the world and make disciples. So i can't help it if people want to bring you to rallies.
Besides, rallies can only be a Christian event if you want it to be. It all depends on how you see certain things. *sorry if i hurt your feelings. and that of other people*

finally, i read an e-mail from Sam and this is a part i like the most of her e-letter:

ps. barbie is made of plastic. plastic isnt cold but it isnt warm either. perfection is what we lack but why would we want it?

XOXO

thursday, 7th june 2006

why aren't there testimonies at rallies?
it'd add some spice to the line-up instead of the usual things offered...i mean, you'd be more open when you see people enjoying what they're going through, right?
we have to practice what we preach. it is when we fail to do so that we have let down the people around us. but then again, who are we trying to please? them or Him?

i see ppl going to rallies to enjoy themselves for half an evening....like, they come to jump around, watch the sketch, ogle here and there and poof they're gone before the preacher takes the stage. what the he!! is wrong with those ppl? don't get me started on those who come just for the fun of it. i mean, if you come with a friend, nevermind, but when you come just for the fun of it? like wth?!

maybe it's time to let the altar call happen before the skit and performance.


Second rant
i dislike the ppl who come and go as they please. they set a bad example to others. but hey, it's not like they even gave a damn about the others, do they? they're just shallow minded, self-centered people.

gah i hate the hypocrites! you ppl suck!

what the eff is wrong with you people?! just turn off the bloody machine when you're not using it! is it THAT hard? get a life!

you ppl are mean, and SO AM I. using the upper cases to point out the words. gaaaaaaaahhh!!!!!

Angry signs
*lightning bolt* *dagger* * skull* *stars* *radioactive sign* *something dangerous* *broken heart* *knife* *keris* *big boulder* *dagger* *lightning bolt* *radioactive sign* *skull* *something dangerous* *angry human* *stars* GRRRRR!!!!!

pretend
you don't have to pretend you care. i know just how you feel about the things happening. what, you think i'm stupid or something? i've got *brains* you know.
stop breathing down my neck! it tickles and it's rude.
get some manners, will you? look at my eyes when i'm talking to you. you ppl *suck*~!

you ppl make me angry inside! like really angry! really really angry! grrrr!!!!!
get some manners ok? it disgusts me to see mannersless ppl. what ever lah! ish!

GRRR

tuliskan semua kesedihan, semua tak bisa kau ungkapkan-nidji




i use a white background because everything looks good against white. why do you think professional chefs use white plates to dish out food?

from 1.30 to 5.00 i was at Glad Tidings for the pre-rally workshop. it was a really empowering workshop.

i found this last week and it's really entertaining. Cherylyn would like this:

Post Secret

A friend showed me a link and I followed it. It's a nice site, but only updated on Sundays.
http://postsecret.blogspot.com
Here are two secrets from the site:




It's only open to Canadians. By the way, notice that the whole system (secrets on postcards) look similar to the All-American Reject's Dirty Little Secret video. Look!


And this is the GY camp 2006 intro:


Have fun.

10 THINGS THAT I LOVE
1. I love my Creator.

2. I love my family. (I won't be living with them if I don't)

3. I love my best friends-Let me name you some I can remember. Well, there was Nicole in kindergarden. She was the prettiest girl in kindergarden and we were best friends. I don't know how that happened, 'cos I was a handful when I was young.
Then there was Michele. She was a very friendly girl. We wrote letters since we were 6 and stopped when I reached Standard 6. Many, many years later she's in the same school as I am, but we don't talk much.
The longest school-years best friend I had was and is, Joe Jian. She was the best friend I looked up to-the smart one who got better grades than me, the athletic one who always runs faster than me, the cheerful one whom I've never seen moody (unless her sisters bully her) and the one who, along with Sherene we vowed to grow up together. Until I went to STAR and they to MGS. hehe.
From form 1 to 3 I wasn't clingy to anyone but emotionally I was clingy. My best friends were and is Iona the banana and Samantha. On the other hand, Iona doesn't count 'cos she's my relative. Samantha is just this weird girl with a penchant for writing. She and I are like....uh....opposites. I think. Dunnolah.
The more recent additions of school-years BFs are Khadijah and Daryl. Daryl got me hooked on F1 (Go Hamilton!) and Khadijah is my private shrink. 'Nuff said.

(daryl and khadijah. i think they look sepet)


(family potrait, thanks to Zlwin)

4. I love thinking about others. See number 5.


5. I love people who aren't my best friends. I keep them close in my heart and in my prayers whenever I remember them. Izzatie, Adelin, Krystal, Kani and countless classmates and ex-classmates. Cherylyn the slightly emo-ish entertainer, Yin Xian aka Martha Stewart, joyful Joyce and sarcasm-filled Bawanie, ooh, Lorna! Bawanie and Lorna came in a package with Daryl and Khadijah-the Piala Datuk Wira debate package.
The people at Youth Energy-Andy the actor, Lillian and Lynette (Lillian is the...younger one), Zlwin, Yoke Ping (cute girl) and oh! Sarah, Jan Quin, Fong Hei and Rosmary-my roomies. They are fun people. There's also Mandy the newcomer, Emily, Rou Shinq and Sam. Uhm...Janielle, the old people at the back (PL, Weng Soon, Sister Kim and Pastor John) and all the random people like Evelyn and Angeline who pop in now and then! The GHM people and the people people. I love all of those people. They're colorful.
The second group is the ones from Harvest Youth-wow. I love Mun Khea, Mun Hwa, Aivy, Vivien and Iri. The brothers (Gideon and Ronnie) and the brother and sister ( Caleb and Madeline, I found Madeline's blog last year), the sisters, the other sisters and the brothers and those random people who made me laugh and made me feel welcome.
If you don't see your name here, nudge me and I'll blog about you. ;)

(bigger family potrait, thanks to Zlwin)

6. FOOD! I like to eat lots of stuff. Sam went to Thailand last year and said she'd bring back some fried grasshoppers. Bak Kut Teh, chicken rice, chicken chop, ice-cream, burgers, fried maggi, maggi mee, CHOCOLATES, keropok, wantan, NASI LEMAK, snacks, junk food and all those random food. CUPCAKES! And did I mention chocolates?

7. Music. Eternal Flame, Unchained Melody, Black or White, Billie Jean-songs from the 90s thanks to my parents. And the Sesame Street theme song! Lately it's Hillsongs and pop songs. Music-hmmm....I like Coldplay very much. And Linkin Park, Mika, Chopin and the random singers.

(coldplaying.com)

8. Nature. Trees. I love trees. They provide oxygen and prevent global warming. They also give shade. And....the leaves sound musical in the wind! Trees rock! Hug a tree today! Sunsets, sunrise and everything in between. Clouds, fields, flowers, animals! Cows and ducks and sheeps and goats and chickens and dogs and cats! I like mongrels too. I think they're the most emo-ridden of all.


9. I love stuff that I love. TV shows: CSI, CSI:Miami, CSI:NY, House, Grey's Anatomy, American Idol, Project Runway, America's Next Top Model, My Wife and Kids, Powerpuff Girls (they're cool), SESAME STREET! Books. I think it's better and "cooler" to spend time in MPH than TGV. HAHAHAHA I crack myself up. I like the company Padini too as I like Vincci shoes.

(google images)

10. I love starting something new-but only if I know it's not short term. If it's short term like using a new thick book I don't like it, but something long term like my life-another different story lah. ;)
