It’s not dead!

So. Where have I been all this while?
It’s…er…well…a long story. Anyways, I think it’s really awesome to be back again and I hope you all will enjoy reading…again! And WELCOME BACK! :)

Hmmm…I’m gonna blog about today. And what’s on today? It’s Michelle Paulsen’s Sweet Sixteen!
And what happened? So…a few of us (Aun Hua, Shuana, Kitkit, Dillon & I) got together and surprised her with the help of her parents and her sister.
Well. She teared.
As usual, Shuana the Banana will be the first to force us suggest that we take pictures otherwise known as camwhore in her world.
So here are some of the pictures.  


And no, that’s NOT Michelle. :D

Now, that is Michelle the Birthday Girl!
 

Happy Birthday, Michelle! And, thank you to Mich’s daddy for treating us dinner! Hope you like your present! :D

 

P.S : Dear best friend, now that I trust you more than ever, please promise me that you WON’T do it again!

Defending Myself

If you have read my previous post, the one about my teacher pinching me, that’ll be good. If not, go read it.

I realised that my principal, can’t really speak English. No kidding people. I spoke to her in English and she replied in Malay Language. And it was totally irrelevant to what I said. Haha. I’m so mean to post about her “dirty little secret” on my blog. I always thought that all principals can speak English but I guess I was wrong. She let me down.

Anyways, I went to the office to see her today to tell her about the pinching thingy and here’s what she said that I felt is kinda weird. I’m gonna translate it to English. It's not word for word, but that what she said.

“It’s normal for a teacher to pinch a student until it leaves a mark. Sometimes, even I accidentally pinch my student too hard until it leaves a mark. But I did it out of the love for my students. And I believe that Puan Suryani did it because she loves you all. Even as a mother, I sometimes pinch my kids until it leaves a mark because I love them”, my principal ‘quoted’.

Then I showed my principal my bruise, then she said “Tak nampak lah. Mana ada?” (means can’t see. where’s it?) I was wondering of she was blind or…well…yeah…blind.

Just to let you know, my mum has NEVER pinched me. The most was that she chasing me with a cane…and me, trying to snatch it until one day I was locked outside the house. And mind you, that was back then, when I was 5 or so. My mum has not pinched, caned, hit, slap or did anything to me that left a mark since I entered Primary school (thank goodness!).

So, who is she to pinch me? Who is she to pinch me until it left a mark? If teachers could pinch students, why can't students pinch teachers? So what if I am her student, she was given no lisence to "abuse" her students in any way...not even emotionally.

I told mummy today, and she was mad! (surprisingly!) I didn’t expect that reaction from her though. She was mad…like really mad. She said I should’ve called her as soon as she pinched me. Damn it, I didn’t.

Latest news,

MY CAMERA IS SPOILT!

I feel like crying. :(
I accidentally kinda dropped it that day,
And now, I can’t use it…cause the screen thingy cracked.
:(
I’m gonna go check if I could use the 5-year warranty thingy.
This means…NO PICTURES ON MY BLOG FOR A PERIOD OF TIME.
BUT
I think I could persuade mummy to lend me her’s.

I think this camera-spoilt-incident is gonna affect some of my duties.
e.g. taking pictures for the editorial board.
I’m think I better find an alternative…soon.

P.S : Except the principal thing, I am really happy today…everything was great, somehow. Loves…

I think I know it's with me…

Pinch Me Not

I DON’T PINCH and I HATE to be pinched. Call me bimbo, princess-y or whatever but I HATE it. Yes. I hate pinches. And the ”best” thing was that I got ‘em today, from a teacher. Why did she pinch me? Cause I did not bring my Malay Literature book, Anak Laut. And why didn’t I bring it? Cause I couldn’t find it, and I didn’t have time to get a new one. But whatever it is…she shouldn’t have pinched me so hard. It hurts. That’s not the point. I’m not mad that she pinched me, I’m mad that she pinched me till there’s a mark. I’m not sure if it’s a bruise or something but there IS a MARK.

While she was in action pinching other students.
Btw, her name is Suryani binti Ismail.
From SMK Bandar Utama.
For your information, she's also the Penolong Kanan of the school...

Told you there’s a mark!
I know it’s not a BIG thing…but, is this right?
Is this what the the teachers are trained to be?
Aren’t the teachers suppose to be our “role models”?
Do you even bother? :D

Somehow, there’s this little devil in me
wishing that she’d get into trouble one day.
Or someone would report this about her… :D
Oh! Her daughter, Fatin Asyifak,
is in the same class as I am.
I think she marks our Malay Language exam papers,
therefore, wouldn’t she be bias?
At least a LITTLE?

”Victim found!!”

Me : Teacher, teacher…Jason and Dillon fighting upstairs!
Teacher : Why? Why they fight?
Me : I dunno, teacher. They’re fighting upstairs. Faster go!"
Teacher : Aiyo. Why they fight?
Me : I don’t know, teacher. Just faster walk.
Teacher : Okay okay!
*walks faster*

Reaching back to the class…

”SURPRISE!”

Happy Sweet 16

Awesome 26th Birthday!

Aby, Here I Come!

Yeap. It’s here again. And NO it’s not that time of the month. Just…zits. I’m actually quite used to it but not this time, cause there are currently one, two, three, four, five…Five very obvious zits on my face. It’s not the time of the month yet (at least not for me :D) but I’m having so many zits, so, weather, I’m blaming it on you.

It’s hot nowadays, ain’t it? I mean, it’s REALLY HOT! No arguments about that. I’m sick cause it’s the heat and my bad immune system. :D I think the weather is angry. I don’t fancy zits…(who     does?). This is how I got ‘em (I think!) ;

.  Weather .  Hot  . Oily face .  Many sweat :D  .  Dirty face  .  No cleanser  .  Even more oil  .  Pimples  .

Today at school we did a Biology experiment. To test the effects of substrate concentration on the activity of salivary amylase. Please don’t ask me what it means. I won’t be able to explain exactly. Note to self : Read up! But it was fun though.

Starting…

Something plus some other thing
equals to this.

Shaun should stop eating!

Oh! This was during Chemistry.
Iodine.
Teacher asked me to wash my hands with SOAP when she knew.
So weird.
I always thought that iodine is…’safe’.

Remember To Eat

Have you ever forgotten to eat? Or maybe…you were doing something so important that you just wanted to finish it, then sleep? The only thing that comes between eating and me is sleep…and sometimes, laziness. :) I’m a pig, I know.

Went makan (eat) yesterday with Mum, the “all-famous” pastor of ze house (Desmond), his brother & wife, his nephew, Jothan and Miss Madam G. Mama. Where? Kepong. There’s this place by the name Yuen Kee.

Too lazy to post everything up!

After the “Mummy, it’s yummy!” dinner (lame!), we went to this place called Kei Tak Sek for dessert. And Kei Tak Sek in English means “remember to eat”. The dessert there is fine. I like the Sago Loh. And the Tong Yuen (glutinous rice balls)…Yums… BUT one thing about the Tong Yuen is that the filling (black sesame) is a little too crushed.

No. 22, Jalan SS2 / 63, 47300, PJ, Selangor, Malaysia.
03-78772499

Mango Loh, Red Bean Loh and Strawberry Loh
Sago with blended ice and it’s respective fruits.

A lil pricy though.

My STRAWBERRY loh.

* * *

Anyways, I’m ill today! I think it’s the weather. It’s so hot nowadays. GLOBAL WARMING! We should must save the earth lah! Back to where I was, I’m ill, so I didn’t go to school, then mum brought us for makan again. This time it’s Dim Sum. Yums… I didn’t manage to capture some of the things that we ordered cause I was so busy munching away. And I forgot to take a picture of the shop, so here’s the address :

Restoran Jin Xuan Hong Kong Sdn. Bhd.

No. 59, 61 & 63, Jalan SS22 / 19,
Damansara Jaya,
47300 Petaling Jaya,
Selangor, Malaysia.
Contact Number: 03-77296866

Oh…before looking at the pictures, Dim Sum literally means Touch Heart. It is a Chinese cuisine which involves a wide range of light dishes served alongside Chinese tea. Dim Sum is usually linked with the older tradition of Yum Cha (means drinking tea). The items are usually served in a small steamer basket or on a small plate.

Prawns inside. I don’t know what’s it called.
As long as it’s yummy. :)

The steamed rice roll with shrimps.

Also known as Chee Cheong Fun.

Ze porridge.

It’s nice, but a bit too salty.

This is DA BOMB! It’s YUMMAY!

Called the sticky glutinous rice.
In Cantonese, Lo Mai Kai.

I like to eat this, but I find that the filling (pork) is too big.

Anyways, there’s soup inside.

Therefore they are called the ‘soup dumplings’.

In Mandarin, it’s Xiao Long Bao.

Ha Gao (in Cantonese)
…Shrimp Dumplings…

This is my all time favourite.

Mmm…

Egg Tart

People, you have to MUST try this when you’re there.

It’s AWESOME!
Psst... We packed another 4 pieces home!

The PRICE is reasonable...5 of us for about MYR70+.

BUT

one thing bad about this place is that
they do not serve dessert on weekdays, just weekends.

AND

if you wanna try out this place,
try to go on a weekday
Reason 1 : A LOT less crowded
Reason 2 : Less noise
Reason 3 : Your order comes WAY FASTER!
Reason 4 : It's easier to find a parking space

P.S : I think I have mentioned PASTOR earlier in the post (paragraph 2). He is NOT a pastor and…well, it’s just, I don’t want to call him UNCLE cause he’s not my uncle. He’s my mum’s other half and her “husband” but is not my father. So yeah…I don’t know what to call him…ANY IDEA, ANYONE? :D

Over It

Know the song Over It by Katharine McPhee? No? You can watch it HERE! Click
it! Well, if you know the song, watch the video below.




I believe that Katharine McPhee (Runner-Up of American Idol Season 5) can do so much more than what she is given. The pop songs that she sings like Love Story, is so not her. Yes! No doubt that some of the songs are nice. But think, she can do WAY better than that!

She should be given nicer, slower songs...

Oh well, hope ya'll enjoyed it.

I forgot to blog about this yesterday.

Okay.

Hmmm...I asked Lynnette this question yesterday.

"What's the lightest gas on Earth?"

I thought she'd say, Helium. (Since I was holding a balloon)

She surprised me with the answer, "Oxygen!"

I STARED at her and LAUGHED!


Correct answer : Hydrogen
Helium is usually used to replace hydrogen.
This is because hydrogen is "flammable".

Dear Lord,
Maybe this isn't the right time,
I know you're telling me that it's a lil too early,
But I'll wait, Lord,
I will.

P.S : Next post would be about...food. I'm too tired for it now.

Stinky Snooker Club

Went to Uptown McD's today at 4. After that, caught a cab to 1 Utama. Only two of us went, cause Yi May didn't wanna come! There are some things that I would LOVE to blog about!

1 st : Lynnette TORE a bag that I wanted to buy! And it costs MYR20.
Yes! She did. There was sales at this stall, then I took the bag and I wanted to buy it! BUT there was this part on the bag that I didn't like, it was sticking out. So Lynnette tried to take it out. But she accidentally TORE it out. Leaving a BIG HOLE on the bag. :D We couldn't stop laughing! I just put the thingy in, hanged the bag back then walked away, laughing! I’m so EVIL!

2 nd : She can't pronounce PRIORITY!
prahy-awr-i-tee
Yesh! That is how we are suppose to pronounce it! Miss Lynnette's version was “prahy-raw-ree-tee”.

3 rd : Don't wear heels when you're out with Lynnette.
She told me today, when anyone go out with her, don't wear heels (for some...un-help-able reason). XD

4 th : OSC Stinks
After our Carls Jr. session, we met up with Matt and then decided to play Snooker. So we went to One Snooker Club at OU and it's STINKY! All the smokers...Eee...

PRO! (Looks pro only!)

5 th : Matt can’t CAN cam-whore
Haha. Matt was cam-whoring with Lynnette! Amazing stuff. Haha. I always thought he's the COOL guy, you know..the ones who DOES NOT cam-whore! He's FUN!

See? He IS pro.

6 th : Lynnette has small feet and small mouth!
Her shoe size...is 3 1/2. Yes...3 and a half. XD Small mouth. Very small. Why? Cause...

She had to split the burger into two.

So she just ate HALF!

See? She left that!

7 th : I haven't gotten a chance to eat ICE-CREAM!

I have been saying this so many times, so many days. I still haven't gotten my chance to eat ice-cream yet. I WANT ICE-CREAM!

We bought balloon! It was for charity!

I just HAD TO cam-whore with it!

Super act cute!

I think Nette is my cam-whore partner!

I told you so!

Haha. I shall not comment about this.

And try to hide the truth inside…

X - Men Origins : Wolverine

Nikkil texted me the other day and asked if i wanted to go out for a movie. Since I haven't been out for quite sometime and I miss them (ex-form 5's), without hesitance, I agreed.

It was quite an embarrassment for me after I found out that we were gonna watch "X-Men Origins : Wolverine". Why, you may ask. See, my childhood life was...boring. I actually sort of...dislike it. Well, I had no internet back then. Plus, my siblings were not there to take me out for movies and stuff like that (feel bad, Jie!). Ugh...and one more thing...I never really liked Mr.-and-Miss-comic-book-heroes.
Note : I have not a single comic book! I didn't even read my sister's collection of Doraemon comic books.

Oh well, so when we (Sonia, Nikkil, Jia Shen, Crystal, Leong Leong, Matt, Adrian, Thomas, Me...) went into the cinema, all settled down. Nikkil turned to me and asked, "Did you watch the first two X-Men movies?". I hesitated to answer...but in the end I thought, so what?. I smiled and said, "I actually don't know what's X-men." I thought that he looked a little disappointed in a way. Then he explained to me about X-Men and all...haha. Thanks, Nikkil!

The movie was kinda good though. Except that the graphics are kind of...fake and exaggerating. :D 8/10 I give!
Note : Gambit is hot!

So after movie, we went to the arcade. And guess what? Sonia and I played some racing game! Yes I did! I shall not comment about it. :D Damansara Jaya was our next destination, for Malaysia's signature, RAMLEE BURGER! Yums!

There you go Leong Leong, your piccha!

Leong Leong, Adrian and I

Right after that, Leong Leong sent Adrian and I back home. Thanks ya! And..as you can see, we "cam-whored" in the car.

So...it's been more than a week since I updated this blog of mine! Here's an update!

Woke up late today. And was having a bad rash day. But good thing was, I didn't scratch. I told myself, it's NOT itchy. And I prayed, of course. I Plurk!-ed. And was taking my own sweet time.

*fast forward*

Went to Botak's near Pelangi Utama, near my school...and well, I pretty much don't have the address BUT I think we know where is it or...not. :) I'll try to describe it. It's at the shop lot next to Pelangi Utama, near SMK Bandar Utama, near Kampung Kayu Ara...and yes! It's in PJ! As i was saying, if you're looking for a place to eat in the morning before work, that'll be a good place. And remember this, in the MORNING (and only in the morning)! It's hot and fresh. At about 8-ish. That's a good spot to go to. Nasi Lemak, Fried Vermicelli and the list goes on. Try not to got there for Lunch...breakfast would be BEST!

Reasonable price. No worries!

Left Botak at...

Then reached school at about 8.25 a.m. and met Crystal Chai, so we walked in together-gether. Choir practice started then went to the SJKC Yuk Chai for The Competition!

We ALL were stunned by SMDJ's performance...I mean it!

Crystal and Khai asyik (always) pose je.

Picture of the day!

Michael, you weren't suppose to be there! Ahaha.
But I guess that was the WHOLE POINT, right? :D


After going back to school, 12 of us went McDonald's...and couldn't find a place to sit.
So...we took some pictures at the Kiddy Playground upstairs.


Yeah, that's what I meant.


"Who's that?"

It's Mr. Gentleman, Michael C.!!!
After lunch at McD's, Michael and I decided to grab a cab home.

And Mike, in case you didn't notice,
I was cam-whoring while we were in the cab.
Too bad you were sitting in front!
XD

I had a FUN day today. Except for the fact that I had to ignore the itch! :)
Today was cool! Although we didn't win in the choir competition, doesn't mean that we have to CRY...or feel sad about it! :)

Met a lot of people today! But didn't have time to take pics with them. Sigh. But there's always another time...right? :D

P.S : Thanks Mike for stopping the cabS while I was sitting there.
And thanks Mike, for walking me home after that.
And "thanks" too, for making me feel so bad! Mike, you know you want IT!

Think Back and Regret

After school today, Crystal Chai, Mingy and I went to SMDU to "observe" their Leo meeting. They're more "disciplined" in a way (compared do some BU Leos, YES they are!).

Oh well. They had election today. Lion Chu (their Leo Advisor) was there. And it felt kinda nice being there. Haha. Met a few friends there. Mingy and Crystal were like saying "Hi!" to practically everyone. And I was...well...lost in a way. Wanted to ask Yee Ling to stay but I decided not to cause she isn't a Leo anyways. Haha. By the way, a big congratulations to Joshua (the new president of SMDU Leo) and the Board of Directors for this fiscal year (09/10).

This is a really short post and...I'm just gonna post some random pictures. (:

Had Softball Competition in school today.

And DJ team was there. So I met my long lost brother, Kok Weng.
Miss him "cow cow"!


And my long lost good friend whom I use to call everyday.
Amanda Fan.
I still remember her house phone number!
Those were the days, primary school...
Miss those days so much.


I like this picture somehow.
(:

Sometimes, some things are just meant to be kept to yourselves.
But this one is just irresistable!

P.S : I'm still feeling emo today. Aargh! I hate being emo. Someone cheer me up!
