i just had to share this. it is so friggin funny!
i love this song! awesome!
this is just sweet! :))
and i was one of the lucky people to have seen this awesome band live in MALAYSIA! :)
basically, life is good when you focus on better side of things. dirt of your shoulder! holla!
i would just like to crawl under a rock and rot to death. i would just like to go to sleep and never wake up. i would just like to get hit by a car while walking down the street. i would just like to get struck by lightning while i'm hanging out the clothes. i would just like to get electrocuted while switching on the light. i would just like to fall on shards of glass and get stabbed in the heart just by tripping over a stone. i would just like to get run over by the bus while chasing another bus.
i would just like it all to end and bite the dust in hell. not gehena. just hell. then, if i'm lucky, wake up and see the greener side of time.
but it's not going to happen is it.
for now it's enemy of the state for me.
yes. i am speaking in riddles. and i'm not sorry about it.
so it's been a month. i have finally gotten my exams over with! FINALLY! and i think, i shouldn't be in form 6! judging from my results, so far.
i feel so dumb! like, whatever i have learnt so far, really didn't enter my head! i'm still questioning my stance in being in form 6. half the time, i'm telling myself, oh this is it dana, form 6. it's all you have, just go with it. it's okay, all you gotta do is sit still, study, and everything else will be a breeze. then, the other half of the time, i''m asking myself, why am i putting myself through so much trouble just to get this effing diploma from stpm. i mean, what use is it to me!
my future is already set out in front of me. i have it in my head. it was all planned. i was gonna study and work at the same time. just so that, i can be a burden off of my parents shoulder. but, no! they didn't want that. they know better. so they say. they are, after all my parents. everything they do, they do it for me. sigh. i sometimes question the motif of my parents. i'm not saying that they are bad, they are just after things that in my view are considered shallow and materialistic. i'm not trying to defy my parents in anyway, but i always question what is it that is so important for me to be pushing myself so much to get that straight a's that they want. getting straight a's aren't that bad, you get a choice over where you wanna go and such, you know, the bonuses that comes with getting straight a's. but is it that important till, if that straight a's aren't achieved, the child is treated differently, and is compared to her other friends and is put down and is called many names that are too hurtful to even say. sigh. am i being immature for trying to be my own person? am i being self-righteous for calling them materialistic and shallow. i don't know. i'm just venting on a whim here.
i have to go mend a broken heart now. i think it's just one of those days where i feel that i'm not good enough for anything. for school, for music, even for my friends. inadequacy kills me all the time. yeah, i know, get over it.
i will. it just takes time.
see you a lil later. monthly update coming up. much has happened. :)
the week was long, tiring and a hard one to get through. totally the same feeling i had of the week before january 13. but, i'm a big girl now. big girls don't cry. they just tear and smile happily for their friends just like i did.
here's a breakdown of my week. 23rd Sept 2009 had breakfast with sya. our usual spot at 9am. okay, teri, man kit and i were there at 9am. then casey came at 9.15am and sasa came at 10am. and the guest of honor came at 10.10am.(happy time xD) haha. when they reached, they said the same thing, who the heck planned it to be at 9am!! typical. we had a lot of laughs reminiscing. then i got a call from chun yik. that was surprising. cause, he had weird dreams, and thought it was the mark of the dead. i'm a very skeptical person, so, all i do is sit back, think of possible logical explanations and make a conclusion. his fear overwhelmed him that it made him dream of the same girl 4 days in a row. why, you don't know this girl but have recurring dreams about her? simple, our subconscious mind catches people, things, events that we never realize is happening. so, yeah, while you might be talking to a friend, your eyes might have darted here and there and caught a mental picture of a certain somebody and in the end, they pop out in your dreams, and sometimes you might even have that dejavu feeling of meeting someone before. moving on, we then left at about 11am to mcd. cause sya felt like eating mcd. hahaha. weren't you the one who planned to meet at d.e?? so sya had her mcd while we gossiped. (if you were coughing a lot that day, we might have been talking about you. beware.) then, teri and sya went back home, whilst man kit, sasa, casey and i did some shopping for sya. one thing about us, when we plan to buy things, we always do it last minute! so, there we were buying things for a bbq. while going through the things we bought, i was thinking of what to buy for sya. that was hard! this girl is picky! xD like most of us. so we thought, okay we'll buy her something that has a lot of meaning to it. while paying, i was staring at this display of kitchen cloths and things like that. then, i had an epiphany! lets get her those mittens! i mean, they do look like gloves, don't they? so when she feels cold, she could always take them out and wear them. right? and if she feels like wearing the whole outfit, she can wear the apron that goes with it! i love my epiphanies! then, we walked back home to prepare for later. i went over to a friends house to help her out with some computer thing. and came back around 7pm. teri and sasa invaded my house. they were there, but they had other dinners to "attend". my dinner plan that night was with sya and zu zu. sya picked me up around 8.20pm and we ended up having dinner at kayu, ss2. the whole way, i was thinking, why are we eating here? the "mid point" of our houses is kayu, aman suria. oh nevermind. what's done, is done. while waiting for zu zu, sya and i talked. it's been awhile since we had MEANINGLESS, MINDLESS, HEARTFELT talks. hahaha. then zu zu came, and we had our girly talk session. at 10pm, we left, went driving around damansara, searched for this place called wondermilk. teri said it was near some car workshop. when i called her, she sounded miffed. so i told sya, both of us wonder whats up with teri the whole way. then i asked if we could go see teri, maybe get her a cupcake. when we found the place, it was closed. sya was devastated. i was, well, me. ahaha. asked zu zu to check the place out. while he was reading, sya decided to drive of into the sunset leaving zu zu behind. sya wasn't fast enough. zu zu ran and stood in front of the car. yeah, sya, a murderer. i could just read the headlines. "wannabe doctor, runs over friend, to test out her doctoring skills." so, we went back to kj. then asked zu zu if he wanna follow us to teri's place, and he was like, okay. no problem. i wasn't buying it, and we decided to send him back to his lavish home! RICH KID! hahaha then, i heard this song on the radio, and i thought of the proposal, which sya hasn't seen yet. i was quoting the movie and i realized sya hasn't seen it and i was like, sorrryy. she wanted to kick me out of the car. dana: "to the window, to the wall" *laughs to self* sya: dana: hello! the proposal. sya: get out now... get out. dana: alaa, sorry la. i terlupa kot. sya: *pushes me towards the door* dana: no! don't... don't rape me! i'ma good kid! sya: go! get out! teri: *stares at us from outside the car cause she just reached* dana: sya, trying to rape me. teri: *gets in* can hear u from my house. dana & sya: she lah! teri: *decides to change subject* AAR tickets. dana: i don't trust myself with this ticket. teri: okay, i'll keep it. eh, sya, first smoke. sya: jom. dana: @@ okay, ya'll go ahead. i'll stand by and watch. sya & teri: lol *continues to mcd* hung out with teri at mcd's again! oh, reminisce we did. teri and sya were mean form 2-ers! ahaha. i was always the good, innocent kid. always doing my work, and passing up my homework and getting bullied. while, teri and sya, they were the "kids from the hood" always bullying and not doing homework. hahha. got home.
24th sept 2009 laundry day. good samaritan day. 5pm, the gang came over. we started doing(decorating) the presents and writing our letters. i didn't get enough sleep the previous night, so i kept on making check lists aloud so that everyone could remind me. due to my fatigue-ness, i kept on making comments aloud to myself. then man kit. starts to "diss" me. man kit: *breaks into song* living in her own world. dana: man kits gonna walk. man kit: then all of you will get lost. dana: dum dum dum dum this is how we have fun!
at around 7.45pm we left for giant, bought sya a couple of nice t shirts. then, went straight to chai theng's place. when we started unpacking our stuff, we realised that we forgot, the sausages and the charcoal. so, we drove to tesco and bought those plus bread cause i wanted to make some american dogs. sadly, there was no mustard to be found anywhere! quote: tesco ruined my american dream! anyway, we were paying, and we were talking. i kept on LC him. ahahaha, hello, not enough sleep here. teri: we are so muhibah. man kit: what teri said? dana: muhibah. man kit: what? dana: mu-hi-baaahh.. man kit: what? dana: MUHIBAH LAH! man kit: gasp. dana&teri: hahahaha. relax la. i was just kidding. hahahaha. man kit: fine, buddy! went back to chai thengs place, bbq(why are we bbq-ing?, dono, SS i think. was supposed to have a farewell bbq for sya, but we knew sya's parents wouldn't let, and sya needs sleep cause she's going of to elope with some russian guy, so we just went ahead with it).
dana: eh, don't forget, we still need to finish up our presents. everyone: okay. chai theng: what we doing la? dana: we decorating the things we brought, ill show you later and we writing letter. chai then: hah? writing letter? but but... dana: all of us writing. chai theng: that means i have to write. omg. SPM ! dana: where got spm. chai theng: i never write letter before. dana: there's always a first time for anything. chai theng: @@
after bbq, clean up, continued decorating. i finally started my letter. i was trying so hard to control macho, well, it wasn't my best letter, sorry sya. but, i'll write u a better one. :) let me tell you, accountants have weird ways of thinking. weird concepts! ahaha. luckily for their ability to divide money, they can get away with it. haha. (too bad we forgot to take picture of the mittens and aprons. sya? send the picture? :D)
25th sept 2009 so, this was the day. sya leaving. actually, all of us were supposed to send her off at KLIA. sadly, we couldn't go, for one thing, parents didn't let. for another, yes, it is dangerous. and also, the one down all down thing we had. haha. so we just decided to meet her at her place. so we reached her house, at around 3.10am. all 6 of us plus thomas. were standing there in front of sya's hse. talking (trying to) in hush hush tones, but to no avail! hahaha. we gave her the bag of love. (2 shirts, 6 letters, 1 pair of mittens, 1 apron, sweet stuff) hope she likes it. so we said our goodbyes. felt really awkward, all her relatives were looking at us. couldn't really say what was on my mind.
relative: ramainya kawan you. semua cina. sya: a'ah. hahaha. *told us* dana: ya la. i blend in well in the dark of the night!
WE WILL MISS YOU! I YOU!
went back home at 4am, slept till 9.30am. woken up by zu zu's message. " seems like everyone else can't make it. LOL" dana: it's okay. the 4 of us can dating la. zu zu: you can have yann, i'll bond with teri. dana: haha. funny. lets see what teri says. zu zu: do you think we can move it to another day? dana: hah? no! zu zu: i have lots of work to do. dana:dude! don;t bail on me! alaa, i've been looking forward to this la. i've never been on the SKY BRIDGE! damn excited weih! zu zu: do you think i can bring my books? i need to study bio. dana: bring la. zu zu: on second thought, no. don't want to look like a NERD in front of teri. good luck on that zu zu. xD
so met with teri at around 1pm at her place. while waiting, i bumped into hoe yinn. oh gosh, it's been ages since i last hung out with him! even with with hoe wei! he sent us to taman bahagia. we had like a catching up session in the car. omg. we laughed so hard. do you miss us hoe yinn? cause we sure miss you a lot!
while waiting for the lrt. teri: dana, what media/medium should i use for my AP assignment. dana: uhmm, video? teri: hurrrmmm. dana: okay, what are your friends doing. teri: one is using, a seed (explains how it applies), another salt(explains how it applies) dana: owwwhh... hurrmmm, what about, magnets? teri: magnets. dana: yeah, it's hard, strong, attractive, surprising? teri: oh yeah yeah. dana: there's this kind of magnet, it comes in pairs, it's kinda cool, it's shaped like a pupae/oblong like that. then, when u throw it up, it rotates. teri: oh yeah. yeah. where to get? dana: at pasar seni got. last time i saw it. teri: oh, okay, we go there. wait. how. dana: after we finish at klcc, we go there. i'm sure they're okay with it. .. so we met with zu zu and yann at the lrt. intro-ed teri to them. oh, since sya isn't here anymore cause she's off to be the worlds greatest doctor! teri's gonna be the one i'm dragging along to most of my outings! xD and, i don't care if every guy she meets with falls hard for her! too bad, she's my bff. hahaha. and if you have beef with her not being into you, sorry, she's vegeterian. xP moving on. yeah, so we talked crap on the lrt, saw ru hui. she was on her way to tuition. she does look like audrey. even teri agrees. :p on the train, we started bombarding yann with random questions. one of it was if he ever been around kl. dana: so you've been around kl? klcc? yann: yes. dana: what about central market? yann: yes. dana: @@ teri: what? aren't we supposed to be bringing you around. dana: yah. yann: shrugs. zu zu: what about petronas sains? dana: yann: yes. teri & dana: hah! zu zu: then what are we doing here. yann: *shrugs* dana: aiyo, malu la! he everywhere also he knows. yann: my first month here, i had nothing to do, so i went around. dana & teri & zu zu: ohh.. zu zu: * still tak puas* so you been to gombak? yann: no. zu zu: okay, we bring him there! dana: @@ teri: *sees midvalley* have you been there? yann: no. teri: *feels so full of herself!*
finally reached klcc. yann walked around like he knew the place, i felt like a fish out of water. teri led us to the concierge. then we asked about the skybridge. teri: how do we get to the skybridge? concierge lady: do you have your tickets already? teri: no, can't we get them now? concierge lady: oh no. it's out by 8.30am. you have to be here by 8.30am to get the tickets. teri: so we can't get the tickets now? concierge lady: sorry, no. awwwwwww....
then, we did the first thing that came to mind. eat. lunch. famished. so we went to the food court. bought our food. i didn't eat well. stupid wan tan mee! luckily i can afford to lose a few pounds. xD so while we ate, we thought of things to do. dana: pavilion around here kan? teri: kena ambik monorail. yann: pavilion? i like that place. dana: hah? even i haven't been there. yann: yes, that placec is cheap. dana: cheap? yann: yes, cheaper than here. dana: oh right. how??? yann: i bought a shirt at pavilion for, 14 euros.. dana & teri: ohhhh. euros! fine fine.
teri messaged her mom. her mom said, either go to kl tower or lake gardens. then yann suggests we go to this place where we can look in to space. i forgot what's it called. then, bird park, butterfly park, blablabla. i was flabbergasted. for the second time that day! he can tell us where to go! omg! embarrassed! so, we figured, okay, lets go kl tower. asked the concierge lady again, she said, it's too far to walk. so we just stood in front of the concierge wondering where to go. we debated between movies, bowling, walking around ampang, kl. dana: oh why don't we go to pasar seni? teri needs to get something there. teri: yeah, then we walk around the place la. zu zu and yann: in agreement.
we bought tickets earlier thinking we can beat the rush hour. dana: eh, our tickets! teri: yah! why don't we, .... * starts talking about some weird concept* yann: oh, it won't work.. dana: omg. gg weih, yann can say it won't work. hahahhaaha. teri: okay okay. dana: so, we buy new tickets only la. :nods:
so i started explaining about the magnet thing to zu zu and yann. they looked at me as if i was talking crazy. fine fine. i'm talking crazy.
here are the crazy magnets i'm talking about!
zu zu: since we're going there, lets invite chai mei and tze chian. dana: okay! :D teri: oh, you can invite your ru hui also la. zu zu: why would i do that? teri: i don't know~~~ xD
we reached the place. walk around looking for those magnets that i imagined about. yes. i am crazy. we couldn't find it. so, we walked out, towards petaling street, which yann knows about. and he led us there! xD ahahah. i feel so malu! we just walked through the place. from one end to the other. we told yann, since he's white! he'll be famous on the streets. he agreed. his first time there, everyone kept on asking him. haha.
so, walked until the end, and then i said, are we lost? cause i don't know where we are. then yann pointed to one direction and said this goes to monorail, points to another, this goes to lrt, points to the direction we came from, this goes to petaling street. hahaha. he knows how to sass!
yann: here, got bowling? teri: sure got, but, not sure where. dana: the nearest i know is midvalley. zu zu: yah. yann: so we can go bowling? i have never been to midvalley. *does puppy dog eyes, and sound?* teri: hahahaha. dana: uhm... okaaayy? u all okay tak? zu zu: okay lor. so, we went.
while in the bus, yann sat beside zu zu. dana: hey yann. be careful. yann: why? dana: zuzu is beside you. he might, *puts my hand on teri's leg and rubs* zu zu: hey. i'm not gay. yann: it's okay, i can control situation. zu zu: == yann: it's okay, i understand, it's your choice. HAHAHAHAHA.
so we headed to the bowling alley(cosmic bowl) after we got some liquids! we got two games. oh gosh. at first, everyone had gutter balls. then, suddenly, yann was so awesome. ahaha. he got so many strikes! oh my gosh. teri, zu zu and i were so malu! haha. the tunes they played at the bowling alley were good. we were grooving to it. oh gosh. and this yann ah, diam diam ubi berisi! haha. he knew all the songs that was playing. mouthing the words. i mean, we all did too, but, it was a shock to me because everytime i asked him if he knew a certain song, he'd be, uhhh, no? ==
after being embarrassed and taking the walk of shame for what seems like forever, we decided to have dinner together.
on the way back, at the lrt. dana: hey, stand behind the yellow line la! teri: *stomps on yellow line* what you gonna do? zu zu: *walks on yellow line. looking at the railing* teri: *walks towards zu zu and pushes him* zu zu: oh my gosh! what are trying to do, kill me. my life flashed before me man. teri: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. yann: *looks at zu zu* safer here, sit sit. dana: omg, you all ah. teri: see, don't want to listen. dana said to stand behind yellow line! zu zu:i almost lost my life.
in the lrt yann: *points at an ad* what is it saying? zu zu: i don't know. i can't read chinese. yann: banana. dana: wah, sudah tera! teri: hahaha. dana: eh, should label yann too. white bread! yann: what! you call me white bread! hahahahhaa.
dana: eh yann, do you know, when you speak french, you sound so sexy. yann: hahaha. no no, my english is more important. it is very bad. dana: it;s getting better actually. you can understand all the weird jokes. yann: hahaha. dana: *looks at teri* he sounds sexy kan when he speak french. teri: nods in agreement. dana: yah, when other people says it, it sounds so, broken, when you say it, it sounds so smooth... xD yann: *shrugs*
mahesh picked us up and brought us to D.E. we ate, and talked a lot more. yann kept on saying he understood zu zu, that it's his choice and that he's okay with it. he can control the situation. then we asked a lot more questions about him and his family and questions that can't be revealed here. haha. anyway, we got to know each other a lil' more. had a lot of fun. after that, i sent them home. and well, at least now, teri and zu zu knows each other. haha. my BFF's!
reached home at around 10.30pm. wow! a long day!
26th sept 2009 overslept. thought man kit was coming over at a later time, turns out he wasn't. he came at 8.45am. i lent him my computer. then, after he left, thomas messaged asking if i'd like to follow him to a talk. i would have, if my mom wasn't so mad at me. sigh. it happens. then, i pretty much spent time at home, played piano, went for theory. then my brother came back from liverpool. so i went out with him for dinner. then i came home. that's pretty much it.
27th sept 2009. blogging! meeting. homework. no sleep tonight! as usual! xD
see you in a week or so! note to self: should work on writing shorter blogs. haha. au revoir!
so, it's been a long eventful week.. the last time i updated, it was quite a while back.
so, i'll just tell you about days that i can remember.
28aug 2009 abrsm exam. i was superbly nervous. cause i was in the middle where i'm not ready and i am ready. oh gosh, when i reached there, hilton hotel, i started shaking. i was THAT nervous! so yeah, the guy, the examiner. wasn't that friendly. i had that air where, i felt that he was rushing me. sigh. so, in addition to being already superbly nervous, now i am rushed. that was the end of it. i couldn't play my pieces well, i couldn't throw my voice out when i sung, i couldn't read fast enough, i couldn't THINK STRAIGHT. so yeah, i went out of the room in a daze! told my mom, it's a no go. though, i had lil' hope of at least passing. but yeah, i knew the inevitable was about to come. went to eat and bought some stuff for the event coming up the following day. went home a lil' disappointed at myself. sigh.
29aug 2009. mymf (malaysian youth music festival)[i think that's what it's called] i was in a group called dolce voci(which means sweet voice, i think. my theory/choir teacher came up with it) so, once i reached there, i felt that vibe. that really tense mixed with excited mixed with competitive vibe. wow. it was a really exciting feeling/vibe. so, we got our tags and such. and i saw some ex-seniors from my previous school. it was hosted at sunway convention centre. so, i guess, the sunway college/uni students helped out with the event? shermaine and alex came. we walked all over checking out each room. contestants were divided into different categories, which included different rooms as well. the three of us were amazed by the diploma students! omg, they didn't refer to their books at all. there were no stops. they didn't even looked at the ivory keys of the piano. they felt the music. they felt it! i felt it too, when they played. there was this one guy. oh gosh. HE WAS GOOD i tell you! so, how do you know if a musician is good at what he/she is doing? well, for one, they don't need to refer to a book. they already have it memorized. they feel the music. when i say feel, it just doesn't mean them moving their heads up and down. it's like, if the music is solemn, u can feel the solemn-ness in the way they play, in the way they express it. if it's happy, gosh, u can see sparkle. u can feel it. i mean, if the musician is good, he makes u feel what he's feeling when playing the song. it's like, the person is so in tune with what he's playing that he's telling you a story through his fingers, and you aren't able to runaway, because it's so enticing that you watch his every move, his every twitch. okay, okay. that's enough about "it's like, it's like"
so yeah, we went to check out who we were competing against. lo and behold. we're competing against friggin college students! TARC students. i was flabbergasted! the choir group i'm in consisted of kids aged between 11 to 18 yr olds. we had 1 bass, 1 tenor, 1 treble, the rest were made up off soprano's and alto's. i was part of the soprano's. can you imagine? haha. so, as always, i tried.. to make light of the mode. kid: omg, what? college student. die la die la. me: no la, wont want. i tell you ah. we go up there, we sing, everyone cry cause we so tera, we win straight. kid: no way! me: yes way!! then ah, all the leng zhai's from the TARC will ask for your number. really! kid: very funny la. me: i'm not laughing. it's not funny. it's true. kid:
me: the TARC students are going down! :smashes fist into hand: kid: ha? how you want to do that? me: i make roti canai with their face! kid:
sher: let's go check out the competition. me: i don't want la. sher: why? alex: why dana? me: gone la, we die la. we hear them, we pulak cuak. sher and alex: huh? me: we feel tergugat. sher and alex: huh? what's with the bm la. me: aiyo aiyo. we cannot sing on stage la... *in my head*: actually good idea we go see the competition, make all the guys in that group fall for sher and alex so they'd forget all their lyrics, go easy on us and yeah... lost in thought, coz suddenly i hear ppl harmonizing! me: oh damn! walk fast walk fast. alex: my dad and sis said their good. all of us: @@
then at 2.30pm, we gathered to warm up. la la la la. people staring. us smiling and giggling. we sang at, around 3.50pm. we were first. we were good. considering the fact that we started practicing 2 months earlier, and practice was once every week for 30 - 45 minutes. gosh, i was proud of us!
then, the TARC students went up, when they opened their mouth, i opened mine as well! THEY WERE GOOD. hat's off to them. so yeah. they won. duh! we got second. as i told everyone. i'll tell it to you. kid: sigh. we lost la. me: no! we won! i have faith in us! kid: where got! me: got. right from the start, i knew we were winners! u see, we got second what! kid: == me: aiyo, laugh la. funny ma. kid: hehhe.. me: fine fine.
but, anyway, i went home happy that day. and tired!
30 sept 2009 i will never forget this day! it's the day u rip my heart out and fed it to the dogs. it's okay. though i lost you; you, who is supposedly the one who is supposed to protect me from ppl like you, who supposed to guide and comfort, who is supposed to love unconditionally, who supposed to NOT judge! but it's okay. i'm fine. i got a better one up there who does everything that you never did. though i know he's not tangible, but i know HE'S THERE!
thank you to you guys who were there for me. i love you guys so much.
1sept 2009 first day. it was bound to come. i was nervous. so many "what if's" came to mind. but i prayed for strength. it was the first day of school without my other half by my side. i felt awkward. i felt odd. i didn't know how to react. i wasn't bitter, or sad or angry or whatever feeling ppl asked me about. i was just, blank. poon and nantha kept on asking me; dana, why you so quiet? me being me, i replied. quiet? coz ya'll so boring la. now i have to stoop down to ur level of boring. pffh. hahahaha. then they asked again. i just said, i got nothing to say. then poon, maybe trying to be my bestF (which you already are poon, i know u're reading this!) started telling me and opening up to me about stuff. so i just listened and said stuff when i needed to. it was, interesting i guess. xD
i was okay. i was contented. the only difference now is that, with her in class, i talk a lot more, because, we're on the same page ALL THE TIME. we even have our different looks that signifies a different mood or feeling or question. we even have catch phrases and puns be it cynical or comical, we throw it at each other, but at the end of the day, we know we love each other! xD without her, i still am cynical, but, i can't be throwing it all the time because, 1) people don't get it. 2) people DON'T GET IT! @@
3sept 2009 french day. teacher came into "after school" class and said; pn yip: okay, everyone, wait a minute, i know you all want to go home, but, i have exciting news. everyone: *groans* pn yip: there'll be a new student coming here. me: wow! how exciting! (sarcasm) *thinks to self, i wonder if the person will be as lame as my class.. * pn yip: he's an afs-er! me: WHAT? omg. it's a he sumore! pn yip: he's from france. he's coming after the holidays. *while speaking, waves his portfolio at everyone, some ppl saw his picture, so they said, he was hot?* 6bt/bs guys: a guy! oh man! why not a girl!? he'll take all our girls!!! he must die! *smashes fist into hands* me: rolls eyes. omg. this is exciting! i must tell this to sya! and teri! omg! poon: eh, dana, *nudge nudge* he's quite good looking la. me: i don't care. this is exciting! pn yip: so, he'll be staying here for one year. and you all can play with him la. me: play!? hahahahaha ok pn yip: so i'll put him in one of your class first, maybe in.. me: 6bs/bt! 6bs/bt! pn yip: 6 bs/bt first. 6bs/bt: woaaahh!! yeaahhhh!!
yeah. that was it. french day.
4th sept 2009 outing night so, obviously, i would tell my friends what happens at school and such! so i did. planned a buka puasa with sya, teri. and since man kit and sasa were around, we called them too. in the end sya couldn't make it cause, i came around late (sorry bout that), so, chun yik took her place. omg, it's been so long since i've last hung out with this kid! so, i told them. i was okay already, not so, "starstruck?" ahaha. then teri came along all hyped up about it. well, she is an afs alumni. so naturally she'd be excited. she was planning all these crazy scenarios. @@ i don't remember them though. we had a good time that night. teri telling her dirty jokes. i, trying to tune them out, but to no avail, they still got through to my brain. my god! ahaha
6th sept 2009 kids of the future. buka puasa at sya's. it was more like a farewell for her. and since it's the puasa month, it was made into a buka puasa thing. had fun. sya very naughty, she didn't even puasa that day. bad girl! had a laugh catching up with everyone. all of us so grown up now. :) driving and all. that night sya, teri and i had a good bonding session. i missed those sessions where we tell each other lil' non important things of our lives, and laugh about it. being random. being hysterical.
8th sept 2009 the classroom. the air was filled with chitter chatter and excitement of a new kid planting himself into the soil/land of 6bs/bt. everyone was awaiting his arrival. but to much of our dismay, he failed to turn up. everyone kept on thinking, maybe he can't tear away from that school? maybe, he changed his mind? teachers were wondering too.
9th sept 2009 the arrival. it was p.a. time. frustrating taps on the calculator and flipping of pages can be heard in the class. pn hanim was gave us some work on graphs. then, say joon came in and told everyone: the french dude is in the pejabat registering.. the air took a 180 spin to excitement and joy. poon turned to me and said: dana did u see the frenchie's pic? he's hot. someone: so , poon, u excited is it? poon: no, i'm scared la! someone: that he'll take all ur girls? poon: no, that he'll LIKE me and fall in love with me. someone, everyone: HAHAHAHAHAHA
*steps can be heard* everyone straightened out themselves, wanting to look presentable. he came through the door.
karina: turns back and said. what a ______. where's robert pattinson weih? dana: hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahhaa. *looks at poon* dana: continues laughing. poon, mana robert patinson. ni nampak cam, sape ah? tak igt la. poon: uhmm. okaayyy..
so, then, puan hanim got him to go up front, and we had a Q & A session. name: yann age: 19 country of origin: france other than that, ur gonna have to ask him yourself. xP
some weird questions. some weird answer.
me: have you finished high school? yann: yes. i am 19! me: oh right right.
c.s: so you're french right? yann: yes? c.s: so, are you good in french kiss? have you tried? yann: huh? pn hanim: eyh! ckg puasa la!! mane boleh tanye soalan macam ni! yann: haha. i'm not gonna try that on you. everyone: lol!
so, he's pretty much the talk of the town. he's really funny. has a really good sense of humor, despite the fact there's a language barrier in tow.
11th sept 2009-12 sept 2009 comfortable with them. it was sleepover day. since sya can't sleepover at either of our houses, we decided to sleepover at her place. i forgot what we were doing before that. i think we went to watch the proposal. ... yeah we did! it is a GOOD show. really wanted to watch it with sya. this is so her show. especially with that ryan reynolds who is so FINE! haha. okay, enough about ryan reynolds. we had our fun at tropicana mall. we watched the movie, had a lot of laughs, with mk and ct and teri too. then had dinner. then chai theng sent us to teri's place(teri packed her bag). then i drove us to sya's place. i drove a stick shift! after so long. i still remember it! yeay! once at sya's place, found out her aunt and her grammy were staying the night too. oh man. i felt so embarrassed. so we just hid ourselves in her room, talked all night, ate junk, facebooked, gossiped and stuff that girls usually do at a slumber party. we really didn't sleep until 6am. woke up at 2.30pm. lounged and talked and laughed. then, chun yik asked if we could all hang out. so we did. so basically, we hung out 2 days in a row. what a crazy bunch of "hangers" we are. xD
15th sept 2009 good students. went to the library. did some research on bio diesel which i have yet to finish! got shush-ed in the library! 8P c.s is very competitive! haha. he kept saying: teri... teri... == i was dead tired when i got home. @@ but, i had meeting. so i went. did my part as a householder. :D
16th sept 2009 tired and depressed. i was really tired. i couldn't wake up. bro came in and asked me what's up. i was mumbling i guess. then i think i mumbled no, not going. then i woke up at 10am, hungover. @@ this is bad. oh gosh. something is up. i really don't know what. this is not the first time. and i hate missing school. sigh. i have to get to the bottom of this. anyway, sya called me at 1pm and was wondering whats up with me. i for one was shocked. then i remembered, oh yah, she's visiting today. so i just told her i was tired and didn't go to school. haha. i think she had a blast at school. happy she did. :) at approximately 9pm, i found out friday is a holiday. oh yeaaaahhh.. a long weekend ahead awaits!
17th sept 2009 buka puasa with ckg hanim. so, we had one final buka puasa gig with sya and pn. hanim. everyone fasted that day. so did i. xD at around 1 pm, some of them started complaining of extreme thirst and extreme hunger. haha. the extremity of it. i had piano at 4pm, so, i didn't really dwell on how hungry or thirsty i was. went to class, found out i failed my abrsm grd 7. i was kinda in a state of shock. well, i was in denial for awhile. but, i'm okay. as they say, the hardest part in a battle is, picking yourself up even after falling so many times. so yeah, i was in a daze on the way home. tuned everything out, driving home. played my music loud for everyone to hear. it helped. :) got home, waited for mom to call for a pick up. it was raining elephants and gorillas at the time. :| sigh. picked up sya and poon, informed zu zu that we were gonna be late. we got there around 7.30pm. we ate/buka puasa. talked and laughed. ckg was astonished by eugene's ability to not eat rice. i mean come on, it's friggin staple food in malaysia.
ckg: wah u tak makan nasi. eugene: ye lah ckg. tak boleh. jaga badan. ckg: tak tempted ke? eugene: ada la tempted, tapi saya fikir pasal 6 ketul durian saya, pastu terus tak nak makan. ckg: hihihihihi. takut ckg dgr.
yeah. these conversations. it's what i go through everyday in school. haha!
when we finished eating,we started having our camwhore sessions. we were really having fun! there is power in numbers. there's also longer camwhore sessions with a higher number of people. hahaha. yeah, we seriously took a lot of pictures.
then, after standing around for what seems like forever. we finally made our move, with edwin, sya(who was supposed to walk home, but since i'm such a good samaritan, i took her home), poon and c.s. in the car. it was just 9pm. so i kept on asking, we came out all the way, and we're going home after an hour and a half? haha, everyone was not feeling it cause of the rain. curses! so, we started driving, was supposed to lead tze chian and chai mei and yann out but, they left first. then i asked, hey, why don't we go yam cha at chai mei's place, in subang? *light bulb lights up* so, c.s. called tze chian, and asked her about it, they said it's a go, and off we went, after sending edwin home of course. we went through myriads of traffic light& roundabouts, and subang airport, aviation units and turned a whole lot. luckily it wasn't a bad traffic night. i was amazed, because, it was such a long way for her to go home.
so we finally reached. after 15 mins. can u imagine. road is clear, traffic lights were almost all the time green, roundabouts were clear, and it took us 15 minutes to reach. @@ so, she brought us to this restaurant called "restoran 5 bintang". interesting name isn't it. we just ordered drinks since we just ate. then, chai mei took out her camera, and took lotsa picture. omg, we look like such kampung ppl. ppl were seriously staring. hahaha. we got to know each other a lil' more. yann, suddenly showed the other side of him. i was SHOCKED! then i told c.s. that it was time for him to pay, then c.s was like, it's poon's turn to pay! then while they were pushing it onto each other, yann stood up, no no, it's okay, i will pay. i was like, no no. we were just kidding, don't worry, they can pay. okay, fine, we can pay. yann: no no, i want to pay, just to say thank you. me: no no. it's okay. *then he smiled and went to the counter to pay* *i looked at c.s and poon, weih, dont let him pay la!* *c.s. and poon stood up to beat him to it. they were too late* it's okay, there are many other outings that we'll have the liberty of paying for u yann! :) thanks for paying! it was fun, then we had to leave, because it was getting late, and poon has a curfew. and i don't wanna be skinned alive by c.s., tze chian, sya, poon and yann's parents. so i sent them home. and i went home, with a contented feeling! ;D
18th sept 2009 movie day. went to work at mom's shop for a lil bit. then went to the movies with sya and met with the bs/bt gang. at the movies, bumped into our seniors; rachel, michelle, kentrik and wai yan.(hope i got their names right) was expecting to watch FD4, ended up watching where got ghost? that was interesting. i was kinda bored. sorry to say, i mean it was funny, but i don't watch this kinda shows, the ones dealing with spiritualism and the occult. somewhere in the middle, sya took out her psp and started playing. haha. that was funny. then i got bored even more, so i played too. yann was astonished by us. i think he was kinda bored. then we went to play foosball, pool and karaoke. @@ saw the seniors there. they wanted to hang out so much but couldn't because not many could make it. in the end, we all had to go cause some had curfew and i was the designated driver. chai mei and tze chian lef earlier, then edwin and shiang ling. then it was me, poon, c.s., say joon, and yann. sya stayed behind(she had buka puasa with her bro), keeping rachel and michelle company together with kah hee and zu wen. haha.
so i was driving and driving and i missed a turn, and i got lost. so lost that i didn't realize that i was going 70kmph on the road, and it was raining. at one point, i had to break because the car which was about 30meters away came to a halt. the funny thing was, i was pressing the break really hard, but the car was still moving. and it was going and going.. until we almost kissed the but of that vios in front of us. i was screaming/squealing. oh gosh.
c.s: dana, wth weih. why u never break?? poon: i'm used to this adi.. dana, okay ah? say joon: shit weih. dana: i break-ed.. but it was skidding. oh shiiiitttt... omg. omg.*shaken* *puts hand onto face* yann: *taps shoulder* u okay? don't scare her.. dana: i'm okay. i'm okay. c.s.: omg. dana. i sitting in the middle. lucky i wore my seatbelt, if not, i'll be in that vios. asking: "eh, how come i'm in a vios? i thought i was in a waja? " dana: hahahaha. ok ok.. relax.
told sya about it. she was like, oh, i went through it before. fine fine. :P *i think angels are at work!*
that was an eye opener. we got lost even more after that, saw signs like turn right to ipoh, jb. turn left to seksyen 4. @@ but we found our way back. haha. thank god! overall, it was a good day. :)
19th sept 2009 boring day. was with my mom the whole day. working. or lazing more like, i only pick up the calls. that's it. then sya, brightened up my day when she picked me up cause she was gonna take pictures for uni. so i just followed. then she sent me back to the salon. was bored to death again..
20th sept 2009 raya. 1st day. was at home the whole day, planned and cleaned and lazed around the house. listened to music. found bands from diff parts of the world. :) one that caught my ear was coeur de pirate.
she's good. the simplicity of her voice and her piano really caught me. :D was supposed to go for meeting, but mom told me to stay home. :| then, at night, teri, mk and sasa and casey called me out for yam cha session. thanks casey, for paying for me. :] then, they came over for a movie. we watched i love you man. it was funny. seriously. haha.
ok. i guess, i have to stop now. if not, you'll be bored out of your mind. okay, maybe you already are. @@ gotta go do something useful in my life! xD see you around!
name is dana.. eccentric and corky is my middle name.. am an indianpino or a philidian (indian x philipino) which ever u prefer.. =) i wanna learn tagalog, tamil and mandarin.. care to help? haha! sarcasm hurts. so? am not very tall, ard 5'1. not fair as u can see from my picture. very talkative, but can be quiet and shy when around strangers. it takes awhile for me to take the first move. =/ thats it i guess.. most used line: haha! wtf! u suck! whaaattt??
then, we walked back home to prepare for later. i went over to a friends house to help her out with some computer thing. and came back around 7pm. teri and sasa invaded my house. they were there, but they had other dinners to "attend". my dinner plan that night was with sya and zu zu. sya picked me up around 8.20pm and we ended up having dinner at kayu, ss2. the whole way, i was thinking, why are we eating here? the "mid point" of our houses is kayu, aman suria. oh nevermind. what's done, is done. while waiting for zu zu, sya and i talked. it's been awhile since we had MEANINGLESS, MINDLESS, HEARTFELT talks. hahaha. then zu zu came, and we had our girly talk session. at 10pm, we left, went driving around damansara, searched for this place called wondermilk. teri said it was near some car workshop. when i called her, she sounded miffed. so i told sya, both of us wonder whats up with teri the whole way. then i asked if we could go see teri, maybe get her a cupcake. when we found the place, it was closed. sya was devastated. i was, well, me. ahaha. asked zu zu to check the place out. while he was reading, sya decided to drive of into the sunset leaving zu zu behind. sya wasn't fast enough. zu zu ran and stood in front of the car.
oh, reminisce we did. teri and sya were mean form 2-ers! ahaha. i was always the good, innocent kid. always doing my work, and passing up my homework and getting bullied. while, teri and sya, they were the "kids from the hood" always bullying and not doing homework. hahha.
YOU!
