ouch.

I'm aching all over now and I walk like a retard coz of the bubbles on my feet.

thanks charlson. :)

I really, really miss basketball though.

so tired.

Went for basketball training today.

*basketball : happiness in the shape of a sphere. 4 pie r 2. :)

Whoa...was it ever exhausting. Felt like I was gonna die, coz my stamina is lousy.

Lim Charlson is one nice guy, but he can be one really, really tough coach.

Charlson : Run 5 times around the court and don't stop!

Us : Wei, cannot tahan already lar!!

Fiona : Run 3 times okay, then tell Charlson I punished you and made you run 5 times.

I love Fiona. :)

Now I have bubbles on the soft pink pads of my feet. Hurts so much!

*bubbles : commonly called blisters, but bubbles sounds so much cuter, doncha think?

I love basketball....but training sure is hard when you have a tough form 4 guy as your coach. Especially if your stamina is like, 20%.

Is there a law or something which says that guys are automatically good at basketball and can do lay-up, no matter their size or training? And that for a guy is considered not-very-good.

If a girl could do that, she's got-potential.

Quote of the day:

"Play the smart way, not the stupid way. Stupid way is you listen to everything coach says. Smart way, is when you can't do what coach says, then you do something else that works. We guys never listen to coach wan! You girls ar...."
-Charlson-

"You girls treat the ball like it's the goal. Got the ball, so happy already. Actually you have to train your stamina, make sure you run fast. The guys don't need so much, coz they're more constant, once they shoot usually go in wan. Girls ar...every 5-6 minutes only 1 goal. So you see, Fiona and Siok Yen can run so much lor. Now go run some more! Back on the court, go go go!"
-Charlson-

i just love those cute little daisies with iron hearts.

Of all the thousands in the whole wide world. God chose this one for me.

Mrs. Fat Boobs. Does that make sense to you? Does that even resemble me?

Yea. I thought not.

Insult me on anything and I can throw it right back atcha, baby.
But you say anything about weight, and I just wanna stuff your head in the toilet.

Just a little tip for girls :

Don't ever, ever cry if you're not alone. That's just handing them the victory, accepting defeat. Don't ever, ever let people see what you feel inside.

You're handing people ammunition against you if you do.

Just smile. :)

lalalala wheeeeeee ......

saturdays are so depressing.

I hate Saturdays.

Try staring at the most pretty person throughout the whole worship session and you can't look away coz she's right in front of you. And feeling more depressed by the second.

I always feel freakingly fat on Saturdays. School is so much better.

Thank God for Erin. xoxox. kisses for my best friend.

Happy days :)

Auntie and fave cousin brother (who will always be to me "Soon Soon Kor Kor") came today! went to Shogun for dinner.


Happy days of my life.... *smiles*

:: undomestic goddess ::

I can't wait for holidays to be over.

The irony of it all. I've been longing and longing for holidays.

*kaboom*

The long-awaited holidays arrive, and what do I do?

I wish that school would start again.

I can't wait to get out of this purposeless existence at home.

Oh well, only 3 more days.

Then I'll be wishing for holidays again.

I Saw A Dangerous Big Red Thingie

I've promised myself a treat of bubble tea if I don't swear for one whole week.

*big smile* let's see how this turns out.

***

It's been an exhausting day. Got dragged by mum to paint banners for sunday school for like, 6 hours. Then went off to walkie-walkie shed calories with dad.

As I was walking, getting really into that greeney, peaceful, "i can hear the crickets singing" mood, suddenly....

this Big Red Thingie with a thousand legs, the length of both my hands, crawled out from under a big dead leaf across the path.

I nearly had a heart attack, stuck there not knowing what to do.

I HATE CREEPY CRAWLIES.

I feel itchy all over now just thinking about it. *shudder*

After that, every single dead leaf I passed (maybe a few hundred leaves in all) was a potential CREEPY CRAWLIE waiting to attack.

I think I'm better off just going to the gym.

Hi! Quick review on John Tucker Must Die.

This movie is great fun! Esp if you're a girl who has had your heart broken by a smooth talking jerk.

Wait don't jump to conclusions. John Tucker is NOT a jerk.

He's a nice guy who wanted to get popular by the wrong method, ok. And he's sweet.

This is one charming dude. Feel really sorry for him though....he's sweet.

But somehow, his brother is more my type.

Gap has opened!! I just can't wait to go shopping again!

It's really weird how Gap is kinda popular here, but in the US, Gap is like our Tesco or something. Good but not that good.

I also has some really pretty stuff from Top shop *big smile* but in the UK, Top shop apparently is the shop that homeless people go to or somethin.

*hmph*

Shopping = Depressing.

Clothes shopping can be really, really depressing sometimes.

If you're a girl and you're arguing, you're forgiven.
If you're a guy and you're arguing, shut up.

[*deleted coz i got really frustrated whenever i think about it.]

Realigning My Priorities

Today during baptismal service, we sang this song :

Knowing you, Jesus
Knowing you
There is no greater thing.
You're my all, you're the best,
You're my joy, my righteousness,
And I love you Lord.

As I was singing this, it just struck me that my view of Jesus isn't like that at all. It should be *blush* but it's not.

I've been really playing around with my priorities lately. For instance, hand me this choice :

a) Shopping
b) Quiet time
c) Spend time with him.

You don't wanna bet which one I'd choose. My attitude isn't what it should be when it comes to putting God first in my life.

We had this "confessing our sins" session thing at yf yesterday. Seems that a lot of us have a problem with swearing. I do too. I know I should stop, but I just press ahead obstinately and use those words anyway in the heat of the moment because I just give in to my emotions at the moment.

I have a big problem with temper, it's the quick explosion type which I regret about 5 seconds later. I don't hold grudges, but I do blow up like a crazed volcano then immediately regret, but the words are already out there and I can't take them back. *boof*

I've been acting a lot according to what I like, what I want without giving a thought to the Lord's will. I do agree that there can be no sweeter pleasure than knowing the Lord, but I have a tough time putting him first in my life.

My attitude has been a lot of "me, me, me" and my own desires. I still remember that among my New Year resolutions for 2006, one of them was "do quiet time regularly".

Well, I kept it the first week. Then.....*blush*. I forgot all about it.

Uh oh.

***
On a lighter note....
After playing "It's a Happy Day" for cherru's worship at yf yesterday....it keeps looping in my head. Eeek, I can't stop it.

Went to david ho's house for barbecue after yf today. so fun!

I'll just let my pics do the talking. *big smile*

*dunno why, i kept getting laughing fits that night, esp when i saw marie :)

yummy food!!

beautiful chocolate. erin succumbed to temptation hah.

heheh. erin trying to tempt me.

future casino dealer ivan.

*played chor dai di with jon wee, ivan, matt & JJ.

It's a happy day... :)

i'll bring you cloud-sighting one day.

Was just asking TJ yesterday, "hey TJ, what do you do when you're crushing badly and you really, really wanna get rid of it?"

After a few huhs? and after that 1 or 2 hmms....his answer was

"Pray. Ask for help."

I was like, wow. The best answer I've heard so far, and the only one of its kind.

Why is the Lord always our last resort? Or sometimes even beyond last resort. Isn't it amazing that whenever we have a problem, we appeal to anyone and everyone around us with the least bit of capability, hoping they can offer us a solution.

And yet, somehow, we always neglect the only one who can really, really help.

Just imagine you're flailing around, desperately fighting for your life in a rapid-flowing river and people are throwing out ropes and floats and whatnot for you to catch. You desperately grab at every single one, missing every time, painfully aware that you're not far from the waterfall. Die. Die. Die.

And yet, you stubbornly ignore the guy who throws out the longest rope, the one with the best chance of saving your life. Perhaps, eventually, you give him a brief glimpse at the end of the day, or sometimes you just keep ignoring him, till you drown.

I know this is a weird analogy *smiles* but it was the first one to present itself to my mind, okay.

once upon a time, there was a poofy-head asparagus.

i'm just wondering why everyone always tries to fit in with "the popular crowd".

ok *tee hee* i plead guilty as well. :P

is it because they're fun? or particularly caring?

well, okay, sometimes....but usually not. How do you define "popular" anyway?

the oxford dictionary :
well-liked by many.
the teen dictionary :
the 3 Es = the elite. the envied. the elevated.

Mostly they're just people who've managed to find a bigger group of friends than other little cliques, i guess. But what we often forget is that they're all private individuals, with a character of their own. They're not higher-ranking or whatever.

(higher ranking? erm, couldn't find a better word.)

They're usually stereotyped as *bitches, bimbos or sluts*. But every single one of them is different. Not every one of "the populars" is a bitch, bimbo, or slut. We just need to know them as people special in their own way, and less as "the elite group".

That way, they become more human and less elevated, i guess. It's amazing how different someone is if you just get to know them, and not just blindly follow public opinion. Everyone has their own different character, personality and needs.

Different does not mean better, or higher/lower rank.
Different is good.

Just be grateful for one's present friends. Don't desperately try to follow the elite group till you ignore your true friendships.

"It is extremely easy to quit smoking. I have done it myself, many, many times."

*oh no. i have this huge craving to watch John Tucker Must Die. right now.

i'd just put "whatever" if it existed.

I'M NOT GONNA CARE ANYMORE.

KAYMIN LIM, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN.

I starve to hell.

nothing happens.

I stuff my face with chocolate and ice-cream.

nothing happens.

WHY DO I EVEN BOTHER?

Oh yea, did I mention that I'm a terrible prefect?

and got a C for sejarah and nearly jumped through the roof in joy?

and yes. i'm a bitch.

i know, i know. right now you're going "what a loser."

well if you are, i'd advise u to SHUT UP.

SUCKS FOR YOU, KAYMIN LIM.

[*edited]

sorry for swearing. i'm not going to again. ever.

start the day with a smile and get it over with.

I am destined for fatdom. Because I totally cannot control myself.

And you know it's for sure, when the one closest to you, the one you can always trust, is the one to say so.

Skipped dinner. Next day, skipped breakfast and recess. Then went to ou. and bought a Starbucks caramel.

And drank it all up before I even had time to think.

*glug glug glug*

100 tonnes of glucose sugar in me. which will turn to maltose in with amylase enzymes. (yes, i still remember my science *sticks tongue out*)

i hate me.

i'm sorry. i'm just moody today.

forget it. shit happens.

Shopping!!

Went to ou today with steph, minru and jowinn. I'm not gonna say anymore.
A picture's worth a thousand words.

you can see that jowinn's gonna burst out laughing anytime *evil grin*

minru's trademark sign. isn't she cuuuute? aww.

According to my calculations, there are now at least 5 pics x 1000 words in this post.

Best Friends Forever. Yea I know that sounds really cheesy. :)

I live for cheesiness.

2) played basketball with min. had the whole court to ourselves!!

3) going power-shopping tomorrow

4) *tee hee* not tellin ya.

*big, big grin*
i just love this time of year.

Anyway, I'm also here to promote something.

Tryouts for next year's school b'ball team are on 25 Oct. Come on people under form 2, show some school spirit and turn up for the tryouts!

We need a proper school team next year coz we're gonna try not to lose so badly again kick SMK BU3's butt!

in your silence i find solace.

heyya ... :)

I'm just here for the relief. I've been revising my sejarah notes like, forever.

I dislike sejarah. and I dislike malay.

In a nutshell, I dislike sejarah in malay.

I'm supposed to be studying now. *blush* but I have a really, really short attention span when it comes to sejarah.

I never understood why we are poring over dead sultans and how they were forced to surrender to the British. I mean, ok, it can be useful if I were to contest YDP Agong's position, or become the next Prime Minister, but seeing that I'm a non-Malay girl, I don't see the point at all.

I can't concentrate. Especially when I keep thinking about a certain someone. *blush*

*sigh* will go back to my sejarah notes now.

Quote of the Day :

"In prayer, it is better to have a heart without words, than words without a heart."
John Bunyan

the world is never as dark as you think it is.

phew. i'm ok now.

thank you so much to all those who helped me and listened willingly to my nonsense and ramblings.

I'm perfectly ok now. You know what it's like when all the little little things start piling up and

crash on your head all at once.

It's a bit much for any girl to tahan. But anyways, thank you.

With friends like you guys, what else do I need? :)

I'm sorry.

I am the biggest loser on earth.

*cue rotten eggs and tomatoes and soggy veggies*

I am nothing but a self-centred hypocrite.

I'm tired of acting.

I keep trying to control myself. Pretend everything's ok. Laugh like hell.

But in the end, I lose it anyway.

I cracked. in music class, of all places.

Thanks, CY and Flory and Sarah, for your concern.

I love you people.

Argh.

I probably just made a big big blunder. Sure, the consequences might not be astronomical, but anyway, I'm gonna BURST.

I must be the most airheaded idiot on earth.
Want my autograph?

[*edited]

I need to scream.

AAAAAAAaaaaaaaaHHHHhhhhhhhh.

Screaming into a pillow doesn't help. I need to talk ramble on and on to someone.

I need Erin Wong.

No, it's not about the mistake I made today. Being a nice, forgiving person, I have forgiven myself *grins*

It's about the most frustrating phone-call I've ever had in my life.

I'm going crazy. Erinnnn! I need you!

freaking difficult maths.

I'm here to BITCH ABOUT MATHS.

so freaking difficult. and guess what? questions were set by pn. lili fariza.

Now you wouldn't expect that from a teacher who never bothers to mark our books, and teaches maths in malay so you can't even figure out the connection between the malay maths she's teaching and the ENGLISH maths textbook, would you?

Once I even wrote CRAP in the middle of my karangan, just to see whether she would notice. And you know what?

She gave me a BIG FAT A plus.

But anyway. back to the topic.

I spent about 30 minutes on that ONE question alone, trying and trying to figure out the stupid radius. That question which stumped almost all of form 2, except TJ, of course.

yes. it came from pn. lili fariza. and contains 3 marks.

Bye bye 3 marks.

In the end I just wrote down all the freaking formulae I ever learnt and hopefully I'll get 0.5 mark *tee hee*.

DANG MATHS.

pfffft.

There I was, happily doing my science ......

What can you use to test the liquid in Figure 3?
A. litmus paper
D. anhydrous copper sulphate

......and just about to put a sexy little circle over D, when *poof*.

he pops into my head.

And after daydreaming for a whole precious minute, I come back to my senses and circle....

A. litmus paper.

Litmus paper?!

I'm gonna flunk Science....yes. I'm gonna get a B. die. die. die.

I'm getting paranoid.

***

Just like me to stop crushing for a year, saying "yay I'm over the crushing thing".....

then fall promptly in love 1 week before finals. Great timing, dontcha think?

I love school....?

I never thought I'd say this.

I Love School.

Seriously! Well not the homework and exams part of it, yea.... *long face*

Gosh I love being at school. This past week of holidays only just brought it home to me, how much I miss my sistas and guy friends (and how much they miss me *grins*)...

....the squealing and giggling and gossiping and checking out guys.

and talking about more in-depth stuff occasionally.

I never thought I'd say this as well.....but....

Thank goodness the holidays are over. :)

Nuts.

It just wasn't enough for me not to be able to concentrate when I'm studying.

Now I can't sleep as well. Dang.

Hey I really try. I wanna get good results okay, I really do. But it doesn't help that he keeps popping unceremoniously into my head like a cocky jack-in-the-box.

Thinking about both of them is driving me crazy.

If I go on like this, I'm gonna flunk my finals.

and yes, in 2 terataian language, B is considered flunking.

I wish they would just get out of my head.

I. Am. Obese.

OH. EM. GEE.

According to this Body Fat Percentage Calculator....

I AM OBESE.

which is the highest you can go.

there's underweight, normal, overweight and OBESE.

i. am. obese.

Camwhoring

I got my colours back!

Well actually it's coz I'm using a diff computer but anyway! time to camwhore!

in dad's car after going to the gym

the "scenery" on the way back from gym

me camwhoring at music class yesterday :)

me and erin before yf retreat (yea, it's old)

Jasmine's pretty foot :)

see i even post up pictures where i don't look good on a bad hair day :P

raisins are perfectly good for health. so there.

dang. i wanted to post up some camwhore pictures i took yesterday & today but yea..

I LOST MY IMAGE UPLOAD.

and the post is gonna end right here because i have total writer's block, due to exams and break outs and la di da dum.

I just can't wait till exams are over...*hmph* to pmr people!

First I shall go power-shopping with Kay and Aud, maybe Yung Ming too. Then, if i see Joel or Jowinn, will bug them to play basketball with me :) then, will go home and sleep like a log for ages and ages.

whEEEeeee.

And voila. I HAVE A POST.

Quote of the Day :

Aud : Dieting is like the in-thing nowadays. The problem is, what if we diet like hell and just get unhealthier and unhealthier and don't get thinner at all?

Kay : Boof, Aud. Nat, is that a pig I see in the sky?

* kay, of all the lala things to say!

frustrated.

i don't believe this. i lost my colours.

AGAIN.

and you're gonna be stuck with biatch colorless, imageless posts for a while.

dang. i don't believe i just ate nasi lemak.

King of Disguise

wow. i just watched this documentary on national geographic on The Most Extreme Camouflages.

It was on animals' most ingenious camouflage (countdown from #10 - #1), compared to humans' best disguises (military, etc.).

#2 - 10 were actually kinda blah (like the caterpillar moults and changes skin...) blah.

but #1 was sensational!

Behold :

The Mimic-Octopus

Now there's a guy with considerable talent. Not only can he change his colour, but also his shape and skin texture, all in the blink of an eye.

would you believe that there's an octopus somewhere in that mass of beautiful white coral?

Startle him, though, and he'll adopt the coloration and shape of a spiny, poisonous lionfish.

Aaahh! It's a banded sea-snake! Fly for your life!

But no, *tee hee* it's the octopus again.

Here's a real sea snake in comparison. *shudder* i hate snakes. creepy things.

These pictures don't do the octopus justice. His real talent lies in his acting skills. Dare I say....even better than Orlando Bloom? :)

Him as a flounder.

Not only can he change his appearance drastically to look like other animals, but also, he can act like them! (swimming in a lembek, flat motion like the flounder, assuming the *shudder* curly S-shape of the sea-snake, etc, etc.)

Welcome to the world premiere of Camouflage, starring Mr. Mimic Octopus as The Rock, by The Great Director.

shut up.

i don't believe this.

that wasn't my fault. i don't even use the bloody thing.

and now i'm getting screamed at for something i don't even know about.

what the hell.
every single damn thing is my fault around here.

yes, i'm immature. and i need to get this out of my system.

Ronaldo. Pfffft.

EEEEE.

This guy's face is everywhere.

Okay, so he's hot.
and a reasonably good footballer. :)
and HOT.
and err...nice.
and HOT.

what's the big deal again?
hey, he isn't as hot as this one.

bimbo post.

There should be a law against studying in the morning.

I mean, who wants to wake up early on a holiday, hoping to laze around, and yet have to read up on how hydrochoric acid reacts with calcium carbonates?

*poof*

I'd rather polish my nails. Which is what I did :)

Revlon Iced Mocha 410.
Burfdae prezzie from Jian Mei.

Sounds so fancy, but it's just a simple coffee coloured shade.

My nails are glossy + chocolatey now. *yum*

Lee and Stef.

I am so OVER Lee Ryan. He got a new girlfriend ok? :)

click for the drama

she's kinda pretty. but err...a bit on the chubby side. mmm.

Happy is Me.

On Saturday during yf, anderson asked us to name things we've been happy about in the last 2-3 weeks, then give thanks.

I just realized that although I have been really, really happy these days, I couldn't name anything in particular. No, not because I'm tragically sad or ungrateful, but because I have such a beautiful life.

If I were to name the things I really am grateful for, it would sound really, really cliched and insincere. Same old, same old. Family, friends, etc.

I think that all of us are quite happy people overall. I know I am. I've been super happy. Even with stress of exams and guy trouble and friendship complications and stuff, I still feel really, really happy.

Heheh, now Farm calls me The Smiley Pengawas Who Never Scolds People. :)

I'm really grateful to be so blessed by God. I mean, no serious stuff has ever happened to me...I haven't even been in a car crash. :)

Praise the Lord forever.

Kingdom of Heaven

just watched Kingdom of Heaven with dad. Call me outdated.

I am now truly convinced that Orlando Bloom is hot. and nothing else but. Gosh, he can't really act anyway. *pretty boy.

Anyway, it was so... gory. That's what I hate about these medieval scenes, they have wars and they plunge their swords into each other and.....the blood....Not to mention the heads. as in....without bodies. and they dragged the headless body away....leaving this sickening trail of blood....

(I cried at Star Wars : Revenge of the Sith for exactly the same reason. Everyone dying. So heart-wrenching, but at least they used light-sabers. Not as bloody and gruesome as this.)

I don't mind fire so much... or even those great catapults throwing flaming rocks at each other, that's ok. But eeek, they just rush into each other and kill everyone in sight and what's more, they do it "for God!!"

"Jesus will protect his people!"

"God will keep us safe!"

"It is as God wills."

it's like today's jihad!

And the poor men....dead bodies strewn all over the ground. literally.
I can't stand it when they just plunge the sword into someone's body with all the...blood and...stuff... and they make the sign of the cross and say "it is as God wills. I shall pray for him."

the poor guy writhing on the ground. aaaAAAhhh. i can feel the pain in my own abdomen.

Nowadays we critisize the Muslim terrorists for believing in jihad, that when they kill people for God, God is pleased, therefore justifying the "holy war". We say that they're ignorant to act this way. Or not so much ignorant as cruel or greedy, perhaps.

I was amazed to find that, in the 12th century, it was the Christians who believed that war and bloodshed for God was right! Furthermore, it was "the way to heaven!" Killing people!

Salahuddin (pronounced Salahh-deen), the Muslim king (a historical figure) is now known for his mercy. He didn't march into Jerusalem and massacre all the Christians. Instead, he let every soul go free : the women, children, the old, and the knights. Provided, of course, he got to march into Jerusalem in the first place.

I am impressed. He was nice. :)

Daryl's Pics

I was awed by Daryl's pics, so decided to post some of them up. Gosh, just looking at the pictures...which, btw, are just pencil sketches....makes me feel intimidated :)

guess who this is?

zoom in please, thank you...

yes, it's the one and only Captain Jack Sparrow. And if you look closely (sorry my camera isn't that good) he even drew the guy's 2 plaits of beard with detail.

and he drew this for me (observe the pretty flower at the top):

Just in case you can't see the teddy bear at the bottom, i took another picture :

one day, daryl is gonna grow up to be the next picasso or something.

Darasso Tan. Hmm. Has a funny ring to it.

You'll need it.

Good luck to all the pmr students!

Yes, it's THAT time of year.

My fave assessory is now ... the highlighter.


Multicoloured pages are attacking the class.


Exams are now not just around the corner anymore. They are HERE.

and we are all destined for certain doom. heheh.

I never want to hear the word "geography" ever again. For one solid week, geography textbooks, reference books, workbooks, notebooks have swamped the class. You can't expect any less in 2 teratai.

*2 ter : commonly called the first class. also, the kiasu class.

Go into 2 anggerik or siantan, you'll find them playing bingo like finals are over already.

Anyway, on saturday, we had just BM 2 and geog exam. And now, one whole week of holidays to study!

wheee.

Forgive me if I don't really feel like cheering.

Ack. I Love Food. :)

Would you believe it if I said I haven't dared to weigh myself for 2 weeks?

Yeah, what has the world come to? Actually had the self control to lose 4 kgs, and then was so happy that I ate everything in sight.

Pizza, chocolate, marshmallows, cake, gourmet pie (yes, i went to secret recipe), parpadam at lotus :) ..... there is no end to the list.

Ack. Defeated by my ultimate love for food :)
