Hello hello! I'm here to say...I LOVE YOU, MY DEAR FRIENDS!=D
Thanks to all of you guys who saved me last Thursday.

Although I felt violated and all lah. *blush* Nvm let me skip this part.

Last Thursday after PJ I had a terrible headache until I couldn't walk. That was the first (and last) time Mr Muscle failed to live up to his/her reputation! (DAMN!) So my dear friends were all sooooo sweet. What I remember was all of them were crowding around me and then Christina offering to piggyback me. People pulling me everywhere. Lol. Then Maya and Keshu, I think, ran and took the stretcher and then I don't know how many people carried me. (Damn Cun wei lie down on stretcher. Relax only. They all had to run like one kind.hehe)

Then they put me down in front of the stairs. I think it's cause they were thinking how to carry me up. So I told them I could walk. Then my super macho friends (Maya and Keshu-both so pretty but wah! manyak kuat oh!) pulled me up and suddenly Amirah and Vivient so coolly pulled my legs up and they carried me up!!! And everyone else were pushing my head, holding my neck and back etc. Like princess like that wei!!

When we reached the second floor I heard Nicole's voice saying OMG WHAT HAPPENED?!?!? After I was much awake I found out that Ju Chin was laughing when she saw me being carried up and she said it was soo funny. =.= No wonder she's my good friend. Lol.

Then I was put on the bed and everyone started... oh no. I'm so traumatised so I'm gonna skip this part. Hahahah! Anyway, Ju Chin wouldn't stop laughing. She, Maya, Nicole, Keshu and also Kae Lin pengerusi stayed back to jaga me. After awhile Kae Lin left for class. The rest stayed and did lotsa things good friends wouldn't do to their sick friend. Like, taking advantage of the situation and moving my hands around making me touch the wrong places. Then sticking my fingers into my nose, messing my hair, sleeping beside me. Ah.. How I love them all.

Lol. Nah but they were really sweet. Made me feel like I was in a spa. Nicole massaging my head, Maya and Keshu massaging my hands and Ju Chin fanning me. Lol. Manyak shuang siut! Shall pretend to faint more often. Hehe.

The others were really sweet too. My lover..Awwww! Came and visit me eh. Sorry I was sleeping when you came down. Hehe. And the rest of my classmates jaga-ing me after that. Christina so sweet messaged me to remind me to sleep when it was 11pm. Lol.

Kesimpulannya, gua manyak manyak berterima kasih dan bersyukur kerana dikurniakan keluarga dan rakan-rakan yang sungguh MARVELLOUS!!!

Sekian, terima kasih. =D
eleeeeeeneeeeeeeeeee

Suddenly i am smarting all over again. What does it take to be good enough, to be the best? What does it take to leave a mark, to make a difference and to be remembered? A lot of things in life are circumstantial, i feel. Generally, i believe in the concept of action and reaction but i think the rules of karma only apply to a certain extent. You can have all the talent in the world, you can try your hardest to be the Mount Everest and you can want something so badly that it makes everything else seem secondary. But in the end, you've still got to be surrounded by the right people. People who want what you want, people with passion who are willing to give things up to become the best. With a lot of things, i think escaping mediocrity cannot be achieved by the efforts of one person alone. No man is an island and really, self-effort just won't cut it sometimes.

For so long, we have been settling for average and not even knowing it. But on the grand scheme of things, we hold no significance at all and honestly, you only need to look a bit further away to realise this.

Ju Chin's Surprise Party

On a whole different note, we pulled off something sweet! See JC will be celebrating her 17th on the 3rd of June, but she'll be in Terengganu then for some Girl Guide ~~nonsense~~ grand ceremony. So so, raymond contacted us a week or so back and we decided to do something really memorable for her this year and we threw her a party yesterday. ECLH called up JC's mum and planned everything out. Here goes series of events:

6.00 pm- Chiu and I arrive at Jusco Permas, shop for party stuff. Are joined by Raymond and Sjing after a bit. Leave supermarket with chips, sparkling juice, ice cream etc. Proceed to borrow laptop from startled guy in Starbucks to place order from Pizza Hut(buy one free one if you order online :) cheapskate ma). Thank guy profusely. Pick cake up from Secret Recipe, leave by cab for JC's place.
7.00 pm- Arrive at JC's, greeted by Aunty T'ng who tells us to hide shoes in her car. Enter house, find Ivan Chia and Joshua in living room. Hide snacks and drinks. Go through plan for scaring the shit out of JC and making her cry before giving her a birthday cake. The plan was for Ivan to hide behind the door along with Joshua. When juchin entered the pitch-dark house ivan was supposed to immediately cover her eyes from behind and Joshua was to bind her hands, you get the idea. Breaking and entry style, like. Hide a baseball bat that Aunty T'ng puts behind the door for when somebody housebreaks. Don't want juchin breaking the boys' bones.
7.30 pm- Panic all around when car pulls in driveway earlier than expected. Lots of screaming, accelerated heartbeats. False alarm. Enter gang jaslynmayasueyinnchua fresh out of Roslan's tuition. Somewhere at the jusco supermarket, uncle T'ng is dragging juchin from aisle to aisle buying unneccesary things like kimchi and oats.

8.00 pm- Juchin and uncle arrive! Real panic this time. In the kitchen, we are crouched behind the dining table that holds a candle-lit Chocolate Strawberry cake. I hiss to Szejing that i will kill him if he talks now. Chua is lying flat on the floor like a corpse for some reason. Maya looks purple from the effort of not bursting into laughther. I am nervous. We hear the jingling of keys and the opening of the front door. Silence for a bit. Then juchin starts screaming, one piercing goosebump-raising shriek after another, pausing only to draw breath but her voice never breaking. Very Friday the 13th, but it means they're doing thire job. One of the boys outside says 'Shhhh' very gently to juchin. Silence for a second, then screaming resumes. People in the kitchen are getting worried now, is juchin crying? Maybe we went too far. They reach the kitchen, Juchin is released. Cue birthday song and lights. Juchin squeals again, this time with delight, I think. Juchin makes birthday wish and blows out candles with shaking legs and quivering hands.

From then on its just more fun. :)

This is funny. Joshua looks more traumatised than JC. XD

Sorry blog for neglecting you this way. Sorry future self, futuremayajuchinandchiu for not documenting so many months worth of memories. But eh future nicole, chill don't get pissed. I was (/you were) studying way too hard for the exams and all to come online and blog, remember?

So not. I hope you haven't forgotten what kinda person you were yeah futureNic. Future self, I hope you've changed your time-wasting ways already. And also i hope you are now thinner. PLEASE don't tell me you're overweight. Pleaseplease tell me you are not stuck with a desk job that you hate. You did go to college right. I hope you love your husband, kids and life. Please just be the person i've always wanted to be. If you're not, just go look for korkor. I think he's rich now. And he owes you. Remember when he deleted your moral folio pictures? Or when he ate the fish porridge daddy bought for you. >:( Yes i understand if you're still angry.

Okay i should stop addressing me. But i have a lot to say to future me. I shall soon write a letter that goes 'Dear FutureNic,..'.

Updates! Lets see, what has been happening.

Well 1) We won Datuk Wira! Ancient news but still. The states are in June, one week after the hols if 'm not mistaken.

2) Went for the IIUM Interschool again, very very sad that i will not be going back. Awesome friends and memories made though. Love the place so much, I would study at IIU if i was a muslim.

3) Just today, i got a letter from the ASEAN people to go for the selection exam. So did Maya and Sue Yinn. I think everyone who applied gets to go for the exam though? Correct me if i'm wrong.

4) Maya turned 17! We celebrated

5) We modelled! Kinda. The form 5 prefects had to do a fashion show thing for teacher's day.

Pimpin'

Okay, all for now.

the curse of beauty

2009-03-10T16:36:00.013+08:00

*Edited!*

*How does one publish such a post without worrying about judgement from other people..Haha anyways caution! This post contains exorbitant amounts of what appears to be perasanness(narcissism). However, said narcissism is nothing more than the effects of great boredom and consequently, self-induced highness.*

Hello, I am still buzzing from the adrenaline and triumph(?) of it all so i am in a good mood.
Time to preserve more memories!

Last year in form four Chiu and i used to get really high like allll the freaking time.
Especially after and before Omega on Thursdays and Fridays.
Towards the middle of the year i think, we started playing this game called It's Sooo Hard Being Beautiful!

Basically it goes someting like that-

Chiu: Omg nicole, those guys are totally staring at me!

Nicole: *after observing said bunch of guys who are staring anywhere but in our direction* OMG! You must feel so awkward! But actually i think they're staring at me. Don't worry.

Chiu: Like, OMG! So darn obvious right! Always like that one. But no, wait...see! See! See not? I think it's me they're looking at..

Nicole: I think both lah maybe. Guys very greedy one. Darn sickening okay. Why can't everyone just leave us alone!? *Acts exasperated*

Chiu: *glancing at guys who are still not looking* It's like that when you're beautiful. Everyone just wants a part of you. Like a curse lidat. Too pretty also very hard.

Nicole: I know...it's so hard being beautiful.

:D Perasan anot.
We played this ever so often. Like when we were walking with Maya/Keshu. All the indian dudes would start swarming around them but we would pretend they liked us lah.
Like: "Omg, back off man! I'm so not interested!"

Okay for real though, i know i'm far from the B word it was just so darn easy to get high playing that game! We taught Lisa to play too! JC and Maya wouldn't learn it. :( Pretty addictive! Anyways ask if you want and i can lead you to the blogs of people who are really beautiful. :D

See, when you can remain grounded and realistic while achieving insaneee degrees of highness, there's really no end to the fun you can have!

Anyhow, now you can play It's Sooo Hard Being Beautiful! too!

To play It's Sooo Hard Being Beautiful!, you need:

1) An inflated ego,

2)A sense of humour

3)A friend with an inflated ego and a sense of humour.

Basic rules for playing It's Sooo Hard Being Beautiful!:

1. Cross your legs in a manner that is supposed to be demure.

2. Twirl your hair around your finger. A lot.
(Variant: You can also tuck your hair behind your ears coltishly, over and over again)

3. Talk and act like you're in the Manglish version of Mean Girls.

Hello, out with chiumayaemelda today for the first time in a very long time.

The plan was to do Girltalk and gossip kaokao but we couldn't for long because ~~Maya's~~ guys came.

Bride Wars was okay enough to make me cry. Killer song was playing somewhere towards the end.

I was a little girl alone in my little world who dreamed of a little home for me.

I played pretend between the trees, and fed my houseguests bark and leaves,
and laughed in my pretty bed of green.

I had a dream
That I could fly from the highest swing.

Dream-Priscilla Ahn

:D Girltalk! the day after i got back from the hometown. Good day, good day.

*Edit(31/1): I posted this up on the 14th when i was in a foul mood but took it off soon after. Now i don't see much harm in reposting it so here you go. This really was some time ago though and i am no longer as angry*

Hello! Very sorry for the long silence.
I was in a very 'Loving My Friends' kind of mood which, truth be told, i have not been in for quite some time. Sadness.

Today on the 301 bus i took home after school, i was sitting facing this middle-aged lady who was there by herself. She suddenly started laughing to herself and she lifted her hand to cover her mouth so that no one would notice. I politely looked away but inside i thought it was weird.
Then i was thinking about my day and i thought of something funny that my friends did so i started laughing silently. I lifted my hand to my mouth then i realised that i was doing exactly what the lady had done minutes earlier.
Point is, sometimes you think critically of what other people are doing but you don't realise that at one point or another, you have done exactly the same thing.

We went to Wisma after school; before sports practice. We decided to walk back. Looong walk. Chiu was doing some funny shit (most of the shit Chiu does is funny) and being very weird. I was walking a few paces behind Chiu and Maya and i saw Chiu bend down to pick something up. It was a stick. In one fluid motion, she raised the stick and looked like she was about to bring it down on Maya's head. Maya flinched and raised her arms as to protect her head. It looked like something out of a bad horror movie lah. If any of the drivers passing by had bothered to look, they would have thought that Chiu was really tryna hurt Maya.
Case in point, things are never what they appear to be. There is a lot of shit going on beneath the surface that you don't see till knowing doesn't help.

My tendency to use swear words has somewhat increased over the holidays ever since i took to playing the PS2 with my sister. Somehow, video games and vulgarity seem to go hand in hand, at least for me. I have tried not to let this show through in school but the words escape me at the most random times. For instance, yesterday Khalisah gave us Sweets from Japan. I studied the wrapper and found that i could read it. Simple katakana.
"Soda!", i announced, "Gassy one the sweet".
"Yes meh" said Maya.
Later, when i ate my brown sweet, i found that i was right.
Me: Coca-cola one! Correct lah. Got gas.
Maya: My sweet pink colour.
Me: Eff you!
Point again, sometimes the things you say on impulse or when your not in control are the only things that come from your heart. The rest is bullshit.

Other points:
*This was kinda way to vulgar, i cut out a lot of it. We are a family-friendly blog! :D*
I really hate you
and
Please get away from my friends

*This whole thing is crap lah. Salutes if you read it through*

16th Birthday Celebration

Among the last of my buds turned 16 on the 14th of October 2008.
Two days prior to the actual date, we had a semi-surprise celebration at Secret Recipe.

If you've noticed, we were at Secret Recipe but we had a Season's cake. Reasonably enough, we were denied crockery by the staff until our food came. Hence, the sharing-is-caring style of comsumption and the crap-looking cake.

Raymond's Surprise Party(31/8/08)

Last Saturday was Raymond's birthday and his super sweet friends(Gary!) threw him a surprise birthday party at his house.

Raymond's dad was totally in on it too, providing access to the house while Raymond was at church.
ECLH and i arrived late. Later than the Bday Boy in fact. (my bad XP)

SSI kids do birthdays really, really well and i can't remember the last time i had that much fun at a party. Surprisingly, we were not as sesat as we thought we would be. Insanely fun bunch of people to hang out with.

There was a ridiculously large amount of food there because it was a miniature potluck and a lot of people brought a lot of food.
Even with me and Chiu there, a lot of yumyums were leftover at the end of the night.

Uncle Lim(Ray's dad) :Everyone say "Honeey!"

Reaching for the Bday Boy(in blue)

Sad thing is, we did not manage to get a lot of shots that night.

Go to Zhen Wei's blog to see a whole load of pictures and videos from the party. Among others, there's a video of me smearing cake onto my own face. (Poisonbox. I'm no idiot) Enjoy.

Cheng's blog has a post about the party as well. (No pics, but a makes-me-happy comment about my potato salad. *kembangs* :D)

Thailand

2008-09-01T20:14:00.003+08:00

I know we can't rely on Maya the freak to upload about our Thailand trip so here i am!=D

Maya and I went for a school trip to Thailand during the mid-year holidays and there were only 5 students who went including ourselves. The 3 other students' families came along and the rest were teachers and their families. So Maya and I were constantly checked on throughout the trip.

On the first night, we went to a night market somewhere in Bangkok. Its called the Suan Lum bazaar. As long as u have super thick skin then you can get a lot of things at really low prices.

Maya and I are already so good at this after going there twice. Actually in the itinerary we were supposed to rest at 8 on the second night but Maya and I took a cab secretly and went to the bazaar again. Thank goodness we went again cause we got more things on the second night without any pressure of meeting back at the bus on time.

Oh yeah we went to a private school in Thailand called Horwang School.Their school band was really cool cause it was like, some of them playing the instruments and a few of them doing some stunts with rifles. The students there were really friendly too!!

The band

Our Friends : From left : Me, Purn, Job, Their Friend, Jab and Maya

With their school band.

Minutes before we left the school, Job they all seludup-ed Maya and I into the Music room. They stopped practising to take pictures with us. Awww mannn..

Then Job came running in and passed us a magnet with picture of their school band. Just for the two of us okay. XD Then Jab was like.."bus!bus!going now!"
Maya and I ran out while shouting bye and the teachers were already across the field waiting for us.

Then we ran n ran n ran the students of Horwang were like laughing at us. luckily we din fall wei.tambahkan drama only.

After that we went for a boat ride at Menam Chao Phraya. Too bad there were no more floating market. The people there just stopped practising the tradition. We fed the ikan patins behind the temple. Then we went to Wat Arun. The stairs were like super steep and when Maya and I were going down our legs became numb. lol.

Nah pictures.

Mr. Muscle pun takut.

At the Wat Arun. The upper section so we couldn't get a better picture of the Wat.

Us drinking Thai Coconut in the boat on Menam Chao Phraya. Big deal okay. XD

At the Honey Factory with the Honey Man.

At the Gem Gallery with our 'mother' and her friends. They're sort of like waitresses there n they are super friendly.

The Alcazzar show with hot and sexy boygirls performing.

After the show, the boygirls wait outside and ppl can take pictures with them. But had to pay 40 baht per snap. XD

Maya and I decided to take a picture with one of them together. so we paid her 80 baht = 2 snaps. When we were taking the 2nd picture, a man walked pass so the picture tak jadi lah.

The boygirl was like " One more....one more...." in a super deep voice. fuyoh maya and i were speechless. =.=" cannot laugh lah damn mean.But at least they look good.

Us and the pretty woman.

Us on the speedboat ready to go parachuting! p.s. The superrrr cool speed boater is my guy.

Unity Run(30/8/08)

On Saturday we had the Larian Merdeka.
Juchin sweetheart here was dead set on getting a medal before the day was over and as per usual, her determination was enough to pull her through.

Miss Zhu Jing ranked 9th out of all the form 4, 5 and 6 students!

Bangga siut! Achieving 9th really is no mean feat.
Congrats also to Gillian who was in the top 5. :D

Maya opted to do PBSM duty so she wouldn't have to run. Pig!

Us with Number 9.

Our shirts are exactly the same colour as yam ice cream.

Ca-ching! Zhujingjing!

Stay tuned for the post about Raymond's surprise party! Super much fun.

"Kau buatku mau muntah" sajak

2008-08-21T10:26:00.005+08:00

Yeah, just like what Chiu has mentioned over at the chatbox, my wonderful friends composed a sajak recently while they were sleeping over at my house not too long ago.

Here's how the draft looks like :

Credits go to Chiu for her newly discovered talent in composing sajaks.

Inspired by our new BM teacher, who recently taught us how to "mendeklamasikan" sajak, my friends decided to give it a go and here are the results :

The "soundcheck" -

The "real thing" -

Have a great laugh, guys. (:

Lee Chong Wei made it to the finals of the Beijing Olympics. Salute!
But put the covers of today's Star and NST next to each other and you'll be laughing your arse off. Very un-macho.

RADWIMPS (also known as RAD) is a J-rock group formed in 2001 while the members were in high school. Their name is a mix of the English words 'rad' and 'wimp', and according to their official website, it is a term they coined themselves meaning "excellent weakling" or "superlative coward". Sometimes the band tends to go just by the shortened version of their name, RAD.

This is not the kind of band i would normally listen to but their song, Order Made is really good. The lyrics are dead touching. Super sweet!

Otogi is an English song by Radwimps as well. Also freaking awesome and they hardly sound Jap here.

Had a very hard time trying to find the right English translation to Order Made but this one is close to perfect.

(The coloured bits are the lines that touch)

I think I must have been asked this once.

Before I was born, by someone, somewhere.

"Choose one: the past, or the future,

And I will allow you to see it.

Which will it be? Which will it be?"

And I probably decided on the past.

So that, rather than just strong,

I could become kind, become kind.

So that I could understand what memories are.

Next, that 'somebody' told me this.

"I'll give you arms and legs and mouths and ears and eyes,

Hearts and breasts and nostrils.

I'll give you two of each one.

Isn't that great?Isn't that great?"

But then I made a request.

I said, I'd be fine with just one mouth.

So I wouldn't argue with myself;

So I could only kiss one person.

I want to forget.

But somehow, I can't.

What do you call this kind of feeling?

Looking a little disappointed,

The person continued with his explanation.

"The hearts are most important,

So I'll put one behind each of your breasts.

Isn't that great?Isn't that great?"

But, once more, I had a request to make.

I'm awfully sorry, but to be honest,

I really don't need a heart on the right.

Sorry to keep troubling you like this.

It's so that when I find that one special person,

And hold her close to me for the first time,

Only then will I finally be able to feel

Two hearts beating, one on each side.

The left one mine, the right, yours.

The left one yours, the right, mine.

So that alone, I'll always be lacking something.

So that I won't be able to just go on living alone.

I want to forget.

But somehow, I can't.

What do you call this kind of feeling?

My chest is pounding,

Yet somehow it seems familiar.

What do you call this kind of feeling?

"Ah, that reminds me, there's one last thing.

Would you like us to add in tears as well?

You'd have no problems without them,

But some people find them annoying, so they opt out.

What would you like? What would you like?"

In the end, I asked him to add them in.

So that, rather than just strong,

I could become kind, become kind.

So I could understand what it means to hold something dear.

"Oh, while we're at it, the tears will need a flavour.

So I'd just like you to choose which one you'd prefer.

We have sour, salty, spicy, sweet.

You can choose whichever you like.

Which will you have?Which will you have?"

Everything was put together just as requested,

So wipe those tears away and let me see your face.

Come on, show it to me with pride.

Thank you so much for everything.

Sorry to have caused you so much trouble.

But could I just ask one last thing?

"Have we met somewhere before?"

*melts*

Call me a romantic but hell, this is crazy sweet.

Happy holidays!

Hello! Greeting from the four of us from JuChin's study room.

We have just spent three days and two nights overnight-ing here working on our EST powerpoint and scrapbook.

We are somewhat getting sick of each other and now at sleepovers, we actually sleep. XD

Ju Chin: "What? Scrapbook??? No problem!!!.....Bullshit ah....=.="
Chiu:*In background writing a sajak which shall soon be posted here* "Kau buat aku mau muntah!"
Maya: *Commenting on Chiu's sajak* "Not bad, not bad"

Ju Chin says to write about how many assignments we have. So here goes. This holidays, we have to complete:
1)A PJ powerpoint about perkhemahan
2)Moral scrapbooks that have to do with the coming National Day

We have now decided to make a video out of the recitation. STAY TUNED TO WATCH.

Oh god this is gonna be one embarassing video to post. JuChin's dad says we have to go now.

My favourite videos

2008-07-19T17:55:00.004+08:00

I've decided to post a video we recorded in April or May just so that we'll always remember how to bully Nicole.

Before u watch this video please know that there are NO TRUTH in everything we say(sing) in here.

This is seriously just a joke but we still wanna remember it. So ppl!! jangan bising-bising after watching this ah. i find it soooooo funny i can still laugh when i watch it over n over again.

Maya : okay bu yao dong ah. okay fang fang. fang fang.

(jc n i sudah sedia)

Nicole : eh don't la. *begging tone*

Maya : NI~

Me : COLE~

Nicole : Stop it!

JC : LOVES........

(then we all realised not enough people to sing the last word)

so we 3 got really excited and we started shouting at each other!hahaha!!

it was like i wanted to tell maya to sing "nicole" instead of "ni" so we'll have enough to sing the whole sentence. then ju chin n maya were also trying to say smth about that but i couldn't hear them n they couldn't hear me either. LOL!!!!!! we somehow understood each other also la after 5 seconds laughing n shouting at each other. hahahahahahahahahaahha!!!!!

JC :ok

NICOLE : Don't la!!!!!

MAYA : NICOLE~

ECLH : LOVES

JC : ****

Nicole : Shh!!!!!!

wahahahahaha!!!

TRUTH : Nicole does not love anyone(?) =D

okay we did this while waiting for our parents to come and pick us up from school. We were so bored so we (maya, ju chin n i) decided to sing n make nicole mad together. Since her reactions are always so funny we keep doing stuff like this lah.

Oh yeah, just in case u are thinking about teasing WCC and Nicole.......i did warn WCC that we were joking n he cannot perasan. So yeah he already knows and he himself let me post this video here (after a lot of begging n persuasion XD).

Really lah this video is only a joke. (plus nicole's already taken.hehehehehe.jkjkjkjkjkjk)

Nicole made me kalis betul betul so there. had to emphasize a lot on how its only a joke. hehehe.

p.s. to mamak friend : dun terasa. this is recorded in APRIL know. =D

Second favourite :

wahahahahahahaha!!!!

Ju chin syiok sendiri wanna take pict but the camera was on a video mode. LOL! Emelda there laughing like one kind. hahahah!!

this post is also a response to WCC"s post. NAH we also can have fun in SIGS k. Think ur school only can meh. hehe.

XOXO

I am currently posting this from Maya's house where we are lepak-ing until we have to leave for Omega at 4.45(Maya has Chem; Chiu and i have Add. Maths).

We did not have Japanese today(Joy!)
so we got to leave school around 12.30.

I passed out on Maya's couch while Chiu was watching Evan Almighty and Maya was in her room sleeping.

Got bored so i decided to come up here to post a few more pictures of the Bon Odori from Maya's camera which have remained un-uploaded up till right now.

The form 4 students at MGS after the prize-giving ceremony.

Clockwise: Nicole(me), Maya, Amalina, Minako, Khalisah, Phoebe, Angela, Catherine(I can tell them apart as if they weren't twins. XD), Shi Yin(whose parents' run our fave store at Wisma), Mun Xing, Wei Ling, Han Ning, Jamie, JC, EC.

With Chee Sensei

Huahua.

With Kian Wei(middle). I look bald.

Right before leaving Intekma

These are non-Bon Odori-related pictures

At the Dataran Budi. I kinda spoiled the picture.

I know that one day, many, many years from now, i will be immeasurably glad that we took the time to make this blog.

Even though we would have all moved on to our new lives and more likely than not, we won't even be in touch that often anymore, i'm grateful that we will at least have this little thing as a reminder of this period of our lives.

Even though something ends, it doesn't mean that it didn't exist or that it was never real. Everything changes and everything comes to an end sooner or later. Cliche but true. This is why i think people should live for the present.

Example:

I know people(JC?) who believe that at this age we shouldn't be getting into relationships because we know that it has to end soon-when we leave for college, uni etc.

But isn't it better to have something awesome happen even if it has to come to an end rather than never having it happen at all?

(But of course, there are a lot of other reasons why people should not have relationships at this age eg. your studies? It's all about individual choice. If you can deal it's probably alright).

I don't know, i guess everyone has different opinions and thats okay.

This is a fully hypothetical situation though.

I'm just using it to make a point, the point being that you should live for the moment regardless of how the future might turn out.

But i have taken quite a large detour from my original purpose in writing this post. My actual point is that i want to be able to look back on these posts and be able to laugh and reminisce about nice things. Good memories.

And for that reason, despite the fact that having a blog gives you a lot of power,

i refuse to use this blog for personal attacks.

I am very tempted to start ranting right here and now but i have decided that the pleasure i would get out of it is not worth tainting the rest of my memories for.

I pondered aloud (to Chiu over a bowl of ABC at Wisma) if this would be considered lying to myself.

As in only making an effort to capture the happy moments when the bad ones are a part of my life as well.

But we realized that that was quite a stupid thought to have because if you can take the good and leave the bad that is exactly what you should be doing. Again, this is a personal opinion and it's okay if you disagree.

All things considered, i think today was a nice day. :D

BON ODORI FESTIVAL!

Here are some of the pictures taken while we were up in KL two days ago!

Tah-dahh! Those are some of the picts taken when we were at SMK(P) Methodist Klang.

They had lotssss of "yattai" (stalls) and exhibitions and furoshiki workshop and list goes on and on. But I'm too lazy to upload them. Hee.

Oh yaa!!! And I met Hanif when we were at the school. XD I was really,really happy to see him!

Didn't expect the chance to meet up with those people again after almost half a year.

Nahh, here's a pict of Si Hanif ~

Awesome guy, great personality, really natural. The only guy who's on par with me at bantering, hah! =P

Too bad Suhail, Danie, Hazim and some of the others weren't there. ):

Anyway, moving on ...

That's our dinner! *Yummmy!*

And we met up with KianWei too! XD

It was really awesome! Aahhh, how I miss those 10 days at Japan. ):

We took a picture with KianWei but its with Maya. I'll get her to upload it sometime soon.

The next day, we went shopping at Sunway Pyramid and KLCC.

We shopped, shopped, shopped till we dropped, dropped, dropped. (:

Nah, some random picts I took.

I totally love love love colourful stuff. (:

Juuuu Chiiiin! -.-

p.s. I've no idea why I felt like uploading this pict. Its just a spur of a moment thing. Felt naughty all of a sudden. Huahah! XD I freaking rock man. Peace out~

Asahi Beer and the Boogeyman

2008-07-14T16:35:00.010+08:00

We went to KL on Saturday for this Japanese festival called the Bon Odori

In Malaysia, Bon Odori Festivals are also celebrated every year in at the Matsushita Corp Stadium in Shah Alam, Selangor. This celebration, which is a major attraction for the state of Selangor, is the brain child of the Japanese Expatriate & Immigrant's Society in Malaysia. In comparison to the celebrations in Japan, the festival is celebrated on a much smaller scale in Penang and Selangor, and is less associated with Buddhism and more with Japanese culture. Held mainly to expose locals to a part of Japanese culture, the festival provides the experience of a variety of Japanese food & drinks, art and dance.

Wiki Bon Odori to find out more. Apparently it's origins has to do with worshipping the dead but now it's just another celebration for people to get together and have fun so there was nothing scary about the festival we attended at the Panasonic Sports Complex.

35 of the students who learn Japanese in our school went. Including the four of us. We gathered in school at 4 in the morning.

I started packing at 2. XD

We watched horror movies (The Grudge and Shutter) on the bus. Or rather, they watched horror movies on the bus. I hid behind my jacket with a book.

Sometime in the afternoon, we reached MGS, the school that was hosting all the Malaysian students who study Japanese.

They had some kind of mini festival there before the actual thing. There was a sale with a lot of badly-made sushi and dorayaki. We ate and spent a lot.

A whole variety of competitions were held at MGS.
Eg. the Hiragana writing contest, the fan art drawing competition, the Explorace, the Japanese culture quiz and quite a few others.

Originally the four of us had decided not to take part in any of the competitions so that we could "walk walk and make friends" while the contests were being held.
But Chee sensei (our Jap teacher) got JC to join the hiragana contest because she has nice writing.

So EC, Maya and i figured we'd just scout for lengzais by ourselves but then it dawned on us that there were no lengzais to scout for because everyone else was also involved with the competitions.

We ended up messing about in the sumo-wrestling ring that somebody had set up along with Wei Ling. The results were some very hilarious videos that Wei Ling shot with her pretty camera.
After we got chased away from the field so the Explorace could go on, we went to sleep in the Bilik Rehat.

SIGS got prizes for a lot of the contests. I didn't really keep track but i know we were cheering a lot.

We waited at their school until the MGS kids were ready to leave for the Bon Odori because our bus driver didn't know how to find the stadium. The number of people there was pretty overwhelming. Supposedly over 20 000 people attended the celebration.

A lot of gorgeous Japanese girls in yukatas were there. They were very pretty, very gentle and very bad for your self-esteem.

A whole load of Japanese food was being sold at high but understandable prices. We queued for ages at a soba stall only to have the noodles sell out when it got to our turn.

There was a booth selling some sort of Japanese balloons.

The balloons were a lot more pretty and big then the normal ones you see around. While we were eating on the grass we watched a blue one float upwards till it got so small that we couldn't see it anymore.

We drank Japanese beer-Asahi!

Luckily for us, the storekeepers were too money-minded to care about age limits.

There was a large stage right smack in the middle of the field and throughout the whole thing there were Jap girls dancing on it while Jap guys played these huge drums.

A lot of people gathered around the elevated stage in a circle to dance along with the girls and when everybody waved their fans up high in unison with the dancers it was quite a sight to behold. Goosebump-y.

Around 10 plus we left for Intekma Resorts, the place we stayed for the night.

It's this apartment style place with 3 rooms per apartment and Miss Chee had assigned 10 people to one apartment. The lobby was nice enough but the rest of the resort was scary.

When we were lugging our stuff to our room we passed by this conference hall.
I saw a shadow cast across the wooden door and got very freaked out because i couldn't find the person the shadow belonged to.
I stood very, very still considering my next move(Run? Scream and run?)
before deciding to shout Chiu's name as loud as possible.

After awhile i saw a Malay lady standing by the pool light quite a distance away and realized that it was her shadow.

But not before having Chiu run over with all her luggage to see what was wrong. :D

The twins were in our apartment too and i tell you, they were dead funny.
We were channel surfing in the living room.
A whole of 2 channels had colour so we were flipping back and forth between those two.
A wrestling program was on and the twins and Maya got very excited before they realized "this one not real one".

So Cat started telling us about this wrestler called the Boogeyman?
(I have no idea if i'm spelling it right.)
She gave a very detailed description of how the Boogeyman makes people eat worms when he wins.

He stuffs the worms down their throats like WAH and forces them to eat it to show he is powerful.
If he's fighting with a woman wrestler he stuffs the worms into their bras because he has no heart.
The Boogeyman carries a clock around.
This is also to show that he got power ie. your time is up when he says it is.

I found this very hilarious but at the same time i was a bit confused because this was very, very random even for the twins' standards.

Right after she finished her rant about the Boogeyman,
Catherine said, "I drink Asahi just now".

Then it all made sense.

Catherine's Indian accent is spot on and we laughed like hell listening to her talk like an uncle who sells keropok.
Silly stuff she said like "I tell you ah" and "What lah you" made me laugh so much i couldn't breathe. XD She kinda rolls the L's off her tongue.

We have this senior, Kirat Kaur. See, you're supposed to pronounce her name Key-Rirt.
But when i asked Cat where she learned to speak like that,
Catherine said, "I learn from Ki-lat". LOL. Apek nia.

(If i'm not mistaken, it's Kirat's birthday today so Happy Bday Kirat!)

That night, i made Chiu regret making me watch horror movies. XD
I shall leave her to blog about that (Herh. FAT HOPE).

The next day was relatively boring. Spent it holed up in Kinokuniya.

I shall leave now because i have not done my homework. SIGS kids get way too much work.

There's quite a lot more to be said though so i (maybe) will be back to update asap and to add the pictures and videos that i do not yet have with me.

And like i said before, i'm still doing this for myself. Preserving memories.

Happy birthday to you!

I would upload a picture but nah, i don't want the birthday boy to cry. XD

Also, I strongly disapprove of Robert Pattinson playing Edward Cullen in Twilight. His jaw is too square. I am boycotting the movie.

what's wrong with the world?

2008-06-24T16:00:00.008+08:00

Yesterday was LSJ's sixteenth birthday.

Happy birthday again Lisa sweetheart!

Sorry we couldn't make your day ultra-special but i know you know we love you!

I hope you never have another bad night the day before your birthday again. You deserve a whole lot more but i know it turned out to be a good day(you can tell from the picture!) so everything's good.

This is the recipe that ECLH and i came up with after having the cekik darah-ing brownie at TGIF.

1 American Brownie from Secret Recipe + 1 Vanilla Sundae Cone from McD's

=Heaven on a budget.

Lovee.

OK, it doesn't look that appetizing but it tastes awesome. We tested it out on Lisa for her birthday. She said she liked it.

Lisa doesn't tell lies. XD

Icekacang prices at Wisma went up by RM0.50. The world is coming to an end.

Daniel Bego, the Bee and the Experiment

2008-06-21T11:42:00.025+08:00

I don't know if people would actually be interested in the stuff that happens in our lives but a big part of the reason i wanted to do this blog was to record some of our memories.
Like a few years down the road, these will be the things we look back on and laugh about.

So these are a few things that happened throughout our week.

MONDAY
A huge bee flew into our classroom.
It landed on somebody's uniform and the somebody started screaming. As is the nature of girls, even those who didn't know what the commotion was about started screaming simply because other people were screaming.

Our Sivik teacher(i don't know her name) got over-excited and was yelling instructions from across the room.
Eg, "Bunuh dia cepat! Guna penyodok!" and "Jangan pijak, berbisa!".

Stuff like that. She freaked like crazy.
She contradicted herself a lot too.
Like one minute she would scream, "Lari lari!" and the next she would say, "Pukul pukul!".
Run away and hit the bee at the same time? But Catherine was very brave. She smashed the bee with a dustpan.

It was super hard trying to get a good shot of the bee because the whole class was dead set on squashing it flat.

TUESDAY
We carried out an experiment in Bio class.

Aim: To study the effect of temperature on the activity of amylase on starch.

The enzyme amylase is found in your saliva.

Therefore step #1 was to:
Rinse your mouth and start to collect 5ml of saliva in a beaker.

The other 3 perempuan called dibs on the apparatus jobs so i had to donate 10 freaking ml (Cik Siti Zaharah said to collect as much as possible) of my saliva.
All the while they were rushing around getting the apparatus and materials i.e. the starch solution, iodine solution, test tubes etc.
i was standing in a corner collecting the saliva in a freaking beaker.
I tell you, 10 ml is A LOT of saliva.
It took ages to collect.
Just ask the people from the other groups who had the saliva job as well.
Shi Yin, Minako, Gillian, Khalisah and Sue Yinn.
All kind souls. Like me.

Look away if you don't want to be grossed out.

So it was disgusting. But somebody had to do it.

In the end I was very proud of how much saliva i managed to collect. It was still nowhere near the amount that Sue Yinn collected though. That one drooling machine. XD

Mm and oh, did i mention my beaker got knocked over?

Yes, I know it's disgusting.

I DID NOT want to include this part but those 3 demons would have made a lot of noise.

Chiu wanted cellophane tape. I pulled and when the tape snapped my elbow hit the beaker.

Shaddap i know it was a clumsy move.

But i cleaned it right up with a piece of rag ok.
Not to mention my heart ached like crazy. It was no small feat collecting those stupid enzymes.

This is how monsters do experiments.

(Eh Ju Chin, it's iodine only what. Why's your face so ugly? I had to freaking drool into a beaker ok.)

Our experiment was a huge failure. We needed at least 6 or 7 pairs of hands to get the job done properly (a lot of the steps had to be synchronised) and we had only 4.

Look at JC's face. The horrible woman.
During the next Bio lesson our teacher was asking for our results group by group and recording it all on the whiteboard.
We panicked a bit when it came to our turn because we had zilch to show for our experiment.
So Maya started blabbering about how the iodine started out dark, turned light and then turned dark again.

Cik Siti Zaharah just shook her head and put a huge 'X' across the spot where our recordings were supposed to be.

Ouch much. Saliva went to waste.

WEDNESDAY
We (Chiu, Maya and I) ~~cut class~~ went to see our Pandu Puteri teacher so we missed most of our PA lesson during the 10th period. (We have 12 periods a day).

Pandu Puteri stuff sucks like hell and talking to that woman
(hey we need nicknames so i can badmouth the teachers without dealing with any consequences)

pretty much ruined the rest of the day for me.

Nimisha(Daddy-O!) was in town for a bit and we had plans to go makan at Wisma. We made plans to leave school early but got scared/started thinking clearly and went back to class.
Wednesday was depressing.

THURSDAY
We had Moral 3rd period and we went to class(a form 3 classroom we use for Moral lessons) late as per usual so we had very limited seats to choose from. Chiu and Maya sat themselves down at two desks right in front of the class.
I dragged a chair over and sat with them.

Then the teacher(i don't know her name either) said to take out our textbooks.
Only Maya brought hers so it was the 3 of us to one textbook which is pathetic enough to begin with.
And the next thing you know, JC is lugging her chair over to sit with us because she didn't bring her textbook either.
We LOL-ed a lot and disrupted the lesson for a bit.

So the four of us are sitting there sandwiched together trying not to fall asleep. Then i noticed something on the bulletin board infront of us. This:

I'd seen pictures of Daniel Bego before but he doesn't normally look this cute.
I was staring non-stop at that article all the while the teacher was talking about hak kanak-kanak or something. JuChin noticed and went, "Oi".
So i snapped out of my admiring-Daniel Bego's-arm-muscles state long enough to tell JC what i was looking at.

JC: What you looking at?

Me: No you see that picture! Hot!

JC: I know i know! I saw just now!

Together: *swoons

Maya: Aiyo what thing now?

ECLH: What what what?

Me: See that newspaper article on the board! OMG he's so cutee!

ECLH: Where where?

ME: There! On the board.

Maya: Not that cute lah.

ECLH: OMG yea lor! Who's that? Actor ah?

JC: No, it's the Malaysian swimmer. Sarawakian or something. Hot lor!

Me: No, you look at his arm! Ahhh! Swimmer leh! Hangat!

ECLH: Wah his muscle so big!

Maya: Yalar, he is cute actually.

JC: *Nods vigorously in agreement.

We went on like this for about 5 minutes. We started giggling uncontrollably as is also the nature of girls when in contact with cute images of guys.
So the teacher noticed and wanted to know what we were looking at.
We gestured towards the bulletin board and the whole class turned to look as well. The teacher went back to her lesson but for the next 10 minutes or so people kept breaking out giggling at 2 minute intervals. Needless to say, the teacher didn't get any happier.

Teacher: Korang tengok gambar ini ke?

Us: *nods while grinning.

Teacher: Tak nak bagi kamu tengok. Kat class kan sepatutnya bagi perhatian. *moves to stand infront of the bulletin board so as to block the picture of Daniel Bego*.

Me: TAK NAAAAK!

Chiu: TIDAAAAAK!

Our Moral teacher blocking the article. I got caught taking this picture.

Physics tuition on Thurs was funny as well. This SDJ kid got freaked out by Mr. Yip on his way out of the toilet. LOL the look on his face was priceless. I wish i had a camera.

FRIDAY
JC was debating the twins about homosexuals.

JC's stand:
Homosexuals should not be blamed for who they are. They did not choose to like people of the same sex. If they could be normal, they would, but it's not something they can control.
Twins' stand:
Homosexuals are to be blamed for who they are because they gave in to their unnatural desires. If stronger self-control had been practiced or if they had tried harder not to go to the wrong side, there would be no problem.

Or something like that. I didn't get the full argument. I made up most of the twins' argument honestly. I don't know what they were saying.

The very loud debate happening. These 3 believe that the louder you are, the more convincing you sound.

JC: "Take Maya for example. You think she chose to be a lesbian?? Of course not!"

Kidding. Maya is as straight as my non-rebonded hair.

Oh oh.
JC sees the camera.

JC catches us.

JC:"Eh sicko what the hell are you doing?? Put that camera down! *Russell Peter* you man!!"

Angela: "Oi JC you very rude leh! Debating halfway you go pose for pictures. *Russell Peter* you ok!"

Notes:
1)The reason i don't know so many of our teachers is because there has been a lot of reshuffling going on with our school timetable ever since the new term began. A lot of our teachers are brand new and they have their first teaching gigs trying to educate our class.
Bless their poor souls.

2)If you're wondering how we managed to get so many snapshots at school, we aren't breaking any rules when we bring our cameras to school. We are on the school magazine's editorial board and we need to have our cameras with us at all times in case any significant school events happen at unexpected times eg. unannounced prize-giving ceremonies/Biology experiments.
No harm preserving a few happy moments along the way. GRINS.

Oh yeah and we enjoy moaning together too!She and nicole n i, we will always pakat and not do homework together. Ju Chin not considered in coz she always does her hmw and she more rajinlah.

e.g. : ECLH is watching prison break. ECLH starts worrying about the hmw so ECLH smses MS to ask what she'll be doing. MS replies " I'm not gonna do anything today. I think i'm going to sleep now. kk then i'll cya tmr. gnite..muackzzz!" then ECLH very very very happy!! and continues her date with michael scofield.

hehe. my eating partner. hahahahahahahaha!! GOT STORY!!GOT STORY!!when this woman and i wanna take a bus back home together, we always end up at the wrong places. like wisma. wahahahaha!!!! when the exams are near we get really depressed and we tend to eat a lot to stop worrying about everything. eating makes us happy almost all the time. so we end up going to wisma like everyday after school for the yummy ice kacang n laksa goreng fuyohhhh yummy!!!

so one day we went there as usual..we told ourselves to eat less. n we ordered one ice kacang. then i was like "yeah okay.this is it for today k?" then nicole said " yeah okay!".

In less than 5 minutes we finished the ice kacang. so we thought.."aiya one bowl only mah. where got two ppl eat one bowl ice kacang like that?" so we decided to eat laksa goreng also coz we werent satisfied yet. we ate the laksa goreng n it still wasn't enough so we ordered another laksa goreng coz "later got tuition so need more food else cannot concentrate later". so eat two dy. then the laksa taste in the mouth like not nice. so wanna end it with something sweet. another ice kacang lor! ok lah. eat one LASSSTTTTT ONE. then when we finished eating...

ECLH : oh-oh wanna go toilet leh.ate too much this morning din shit some more. tsk tsk. how ah?
NLVV : aiyo....go there the toilet la. public toilet opposite there only mah.
ECLH : har..CS can ah?more conducive plus got music leh!
NLVV : oklor CS lor.
ECLH : kk lets go!

*walk walk walk*

ECLH : can we go TGIF there? there got toilet rite?
NLVV : what if they make us buy stuff n eat?super expensive ok the food there.
ECLH : no lah we tell them we wanna use their toilet.
NLVV : har..no lah we pretend to ask them whr's the nearest toilet ok?
ECLH : okay!!

so we walked into TGIF and there was this lady standing there greeting us n nicole loh didn't notice her so....

NLVV: eh chiu faster faster there the toilet quick juz go in. nobody here juz go.
ECLH : (already in TGIF, right beside the lady) ermm..come in la nicole.
NLVV : no there there the toilet quick la.
LADY : hello welcome to TGIF come on in! (smiles big big)
NLVV : oh. ok.

so we went in n chose a table and sat. at that moment Nicole thought i had a plan to not buy their super-cekik-darah-expensive food. but actually i wasn't thinking properly so in the end we ended up buying a friggin choc fudge brownie = RM 15 = toilet entry fee. dahlah at that time so full so we had to force the whole big brownie into our mouth. for the first time of my life i felt so sick of eating .hahahaha. super funny la.

So NLVV n i took one hour to finish tht brownie. we sat there pretending to be rich kids singing along to the music. playing n doing stupid-trying-to-be-pretty + high class face. lol.

damn cacat la but very fun also.

klah i have a date with scofield! hehehehehe.

I just realised something.

Our English Professor, NicoleLohVoonVoon, did not introduce herself. =/

And so, I shall have the honour of describing her now.

NICOLE LOH VOON VOON

Before I go on. Here's a special shout out to my friends.

Oi peeps. I shall set a blogging rule for us here k. NO CHANGING OR MODIFYING EACH OTHER'S POSTS. which means, NLVV, don't even dream of taking that picture off. *grins* You look real good here. (:

Yahh. Back to NicoleLohVoonVoon.

Ini orang. English damn good. The best among us all. And she's a debator by the way. We joined this UIAM debate competition not too long ago, and there were more then a hundred schools participating, which means there were 300 over participants. Our English Prof. got the 14th best speaker k!! Don't play play ahh.

Personality wise. Hmmm... just like me, she is very loud when defending her opinions and stands too. XD Hahaha.. So you can imagine it lah. When you put the both of us together, we will be at loggerheads most of the time. But thanks to Maya and ECLH, we can never fail to count on them to neutralise all "poisons" between us. Hehe. (:

Talking about that, I am going to side track just a little here. I guess the reason why the four of us managed to last that long together, is because, each and everyone of us play a special role. It sort of balances the whole friendship. We accept each other for who we really are. Take eg. I dislike melepaking, so they will go wander around here and there while I stay at class, without feeling left out, and without them making me feel that I'm left out. And I'm really very proud of that fact lahh. Really thankful for friends like them also. Ahh enough crap. I feel so the rouma ady.

Sorry Nicole. Back to you.

When you put Nicole and ECLH together, I tell ya ahh, loadsss of funny stuff will happen. Lol. No kidding. You'll read more about it when we blog about our daily life in future.

This just came to me out of the blue, since I 've written, or rather, typed a whole paragraph about tht friendship thingey, I shall leave the describing part to ECLH and MaySakthi. So they won't have an excuse for NOT blogging.

Signing out, Ju Chin.

The People I Love

2008-06-14T18:23:00.001+08:00

Good morning starshine
and the earth says hello!

If you're reading this post you probably already know who we are.
If you do, you can just just skip over this bit.
But if you don't know us or just wanna know more(ini tiga lengluis what), read on.

This blog here belongs to me and my three friends,

Eleene Chiu Li Hong, Maya Sakthi and T'ng Ju Chin.

I don't love doing this introduction thing ~~and it embarasses me slightly~~

But knowing this other 3, if i don't do it, they almost definitely won't either.
So what the heck. The things you'd do for your friends.

Thing #1: Breaking the ice on your new blog. XD

ELEENE CHIU LI HONG.

Chiu here is like the kai xin guo of our group. I know one time the three of us went to IIUM in KL for this school thing without Chiu and we were missing her like crazy because the whole event was very stressful and Chiu's happy thing could have done a lot for us.

She's my eating partner. HAHA. If you've ate with us before then you'll believe me when i say that we can SERIOUSLY eat more than you're average guy.

Normal people stop eating when they're full.

We stop eating when:

a)we run out of food.
b)we run out of money ~~to borrow~~.

Chiu's lifelong dreams:

Dream #1: To eat all the best icekacangs in the world

Dream #2: To eat all the best chendols in the world

The other day Chiu was going on about how people know her as a glutton (we were talking about identities) and i was thinking about it and i figure it's because she's passionate about her food and not afraid to fight for it. She's also very loud about it.

LOL that sounds bad. I'm exaggerating.

Hahaha this is horrible i don't know why i'm going on about Chiu eating.

She's strong. Both mentally and physically.

The physical part is very easy to explain. Earlier this year JC, ECLH and i took part in this Pandu Puteri camp at school and chiu was our pillar of strength! Literally.

I remember her standing on a chair pacak-ing these long wooden sticks to the ground with a hammer and i tell you, it was very cool. One hit and the thing sunk into the ground. XD Nice!

I gave it a try but the thing didn't budge an inch.

The mental part, I don't quite know how to say it. She keeps going even when things get rough. Very good self-control when she bothers to put in enough effort to try.

Nah conclusion I love this perempuan!

MAYA SAKTHI.

Maya here is uber gorgeous. Not just on the outside but also on the inside.

She's one of the nicest people i know. Not to mention one of the most patient.

When things get heated between us
(us being juchin and me because we're both loud when it comes to defending our opinions)

Maya cechi is nearly always the peacemaker.

She always, always knows the right thing to say at the right time. But more importantly, she knows what NOT to say.

Somehow Maya has a very good sense of what is right and what is wrong.

But most of the time we can persuade her into doing the wrong thing as long as it works out better for us. GRINS. Yet another thing you'd do for your buddies.

Thing #2: Abandoning your principles.

On Friday we hung out in the sickbay for awhile because Chiu had strained the muscles in her left arm pretending to be Sara Tancredi.

So because Maya is the only PBSM-er among us, Chiu bullied Maya into repeatedly massaging her arm with Deep Heat. (Chiu's muscles are her crowning glory!).

It looked very comfortable and i decided i wanted a massage for the bruise i have on my left arm where Chiu hit me. So the point is the bruise did not require a massage and the fact that Maya still gave me one proves how much she rocks.

Back off guys! I don't care who you are but Maya deserves better!

Conclusion of the day: Maya's a beautiful chocolate angel.

Ew. Ha ha.

T'NG JU CHIN.

Miss Zhu Jing!!

Eh woman look HERE, i'm telling you, you change a single word OR PHOTO from this post and I'M NEVER POSTING AGAIN. I mean it ah.

I suppose the first thing to be said about JC here is that she's a very hard worker! She does awesome in things like her studies but it doesn't come all that easily.
She works her butt off.
Very, very admirable quality especially since i'm probably the laziest person you'll ever find.

JC has very strong opinions and principles. She's kinda like the string that keeps us from floating off to lalaland? (That makes the three of us helium balloons? XD).

That's not quite what i mean but i don't know how else to put it.

Thing #3: Keeping your friends grounded.

I don't know but i think whenever i'm confused about something(or someone) i find it's always good to talk to JC about it.
She hardly ever gets blinded and her assessments of situations are nearly always correct.

Ju Chin also does a lot of thinking.

Like sometimes when you(i) look at her it's like she's in her own world and you(i) can tell that there are a million things running through her mind.

This can sometimes be very funny.
Eg. the other day when we were having the Identity conversation,
Maya and Chiu were saying to JC, "We don't think that much about the existence of God. I mean, we know He's there but we just don't question it that much".

(Or something to that effect. I don't remember their exact words. And i cleaned up the Manglish a bit. XD)

So after they said that, they looked at JC for a bit waiting for a reaction that didn't come.

JC had her head down and her brows were slightly furrowed so i knew she wasn't listening.

Then she suddenly looked up as in breaking out from a trance and said,
"Eh but actually Nicole does have an identity. Think about it...".
And she bla-ed some stuff
(that's a whole other story).

So Maya and ECLH burst out laughing.

That's just an example of how lost JC gets sometimes. Cute much! XD

So most of the time JC is a no-nonsense kinda person

(but not in a beh tahan kinda way, it's more cute than you're-getting-on-my-nerves sort-ish).

But she can get very, very sweet at the most unexpected times.

For example, when we found out that we got a new Chem teacher who isn't exactly that good, i got worried and started moaning about it because i don't take tuition for Chemistry.
So JC said, "Don't worry, you have us what".
XD i found that super sweet although JC just said it offhand.
Lovee! X)

Okie dokie! Intro gao dim.

So these are 3 of the people i love the most. If you knew them you'd love them too.

We've been wanting to create this blog for ages and now that it's done, i hope we won't let it die anytime soon.

Hear me not people? I say WRITE.

Nicole
