:: SKYSCRAPER ::

Good evening peeps! Have been waiting for this day to update my blog. I can't believe I actually survived. I thought I would have died in this week. I was super busy I almost lost breath. Was busy with my class tests, open day guitar performance and talentime band practices, and all the up coming exams which are piano practical and theory exams. Phew... Such a splendid and eventful week! Oh and, Kuen Cheng's open day will be on the 7th of August. Feel free to come ;) ! It's a Sunday. Shocking enough, attendance is obligatory. BUT, we have holiday on Monday! I feel awesome.

So, I went to Midvalley & The Gardens with Yi Teng, Yi Ling, Shu Yi, Hao Ying, Zhi Wen, Bing Sheng and Seth on last Sunday. Early in the morning at 9 sharp, I woke up and dressed up, got ready for my piano trial exam in the music academy. Didn't practise much because I've totally forgotten about it the day before. Had porridge for breakfast and practised my exam pieces for a while. Didn't know I would feel that nervous, I felt like butterflies were flying rapidly in my stomach. Reached the academy at around 10 and waited in the waiting room. I was practising scales on my book. Then, when the student before my turn came out, I walked in and greeted my teacher 'Good morning, madam'. Yes, it was awkward, calling my teacher a madam haha. I started off with my scales, then pieces, sight-reading, at last, aural. I made a slight slip in my baroque exam piece. I think I've started the piece in a wrong tempo as my fingers were uncontrollably flying across the keys in the middle where I didn't have any rests to stop at. Aural was horrible. I forgot all the chords and cadences I memorised early in the morning. Urgh, I knew they just couldn't get into my mind. To my astonishment, I passed the trial with 117. Ahh, 3 more marks to merit! 2 more classes of piano left. I don't wanna continue for diplomas, neither do I wanna stop. I'm in a terrible dilemma...

After the trial, my mum fetched me to the bus stop in front of IOI mall. Yi Teng and I took the bus together to Midvalley. She accidentally wore her slippers 'cos she was hastily running out from her house. Typical 'Cassandra' (yeeee, she's so gonna smack me when she sees this :D). We collected our tickets in The Gardens signature GSC. We wanted to book tickets for Midvalley but then the stupid website just couldn't function properly it kept showing us the invalid sign. Eventually, when I used my dad's credit card to book for The Gardens, it worked. A premier ticket cost us 24 bucks. Which is twice of the usual price, dang. Later, we met up with Zhi Wen and Seth in MPH. God blessed us, we bumped into Teik Yi! Her mum allowed her to come with us as I booked 2 extra movie tickets. After that, Yi Ling and Shu Yi reached.

My stomach was growling, so we went to Paddington House of Pancakes for lunch. I ordered Omelette-wrapped salad. It wasn't that bad but the portion was too big for me. Seth and Zhi Wen ordered two plates of pancakes each. 'OMG you ordered another plate?' 'Why not? It's GOOOOOOOD' haha. Yi Teng and I sneaked to Lavender bakery and bought Seth a Mango Cheese cake for his birthday. FYI, his birthday is on the 1st of August. Our outing was initially set on the 31st of July which we could celebrate his birthday together. Well, since we have thought about celebrating his birthday, celebrating his birthday way earlier wasn't that bad too :) . He went so speechless when the waiter served us the cake.

After our lunch, we met up with Bing Sheng who got kind of lost in the centre court, lol. We headed to the cinema and got ready for HARRY POTTER & THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 2! I was already looking forward to watching the very last part since I watched the 1st part in Australia with my sister. I would have to scream out loud that HARRY POTTER SERIES IS THE BEST SERIES EVER AND I'M LOVIN' IT! I can vividly remember the 1st time I watched Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone when I was merely 5. 10 years is definitely a long route. Thinking about how Harry, Ron and Hermione knew each other, thinking about how their friendship became better than best, thinking about how they almost died upon Voldemort's spells, I couldn't believe the ending where they waved their hands to their children at the station, with wrinkled visage, will never be continued. I used to be always looking forward to the next part... It all ended and I distinctly remember the day it all began. I'm feeling a little nostalgic right now, sobs. Harry Potter, is not just a name, it's more than that, more than what you can ever imagine. JK Rowling is goddess, prodigy. Oh and, this might sound like I have a bias against these 2 series, but most of US agree with this statement: NEVER compare Harry Potter series with Twilight saga. NEVERRRR! End :) .

After the movie, the family reached. We had dinner at Kita no Zen. Shopped in Isetan and finally, home. Haven't done any of my homeworks, but I was too exhausted to even think, so I slept after bath. It sure was a fun day. Omg, I realize I've been typing on and on it just wouldn't end. Seriously, I have to end now, haha. Yoga class later. Have to study French, Italian and German terms now. I don't wanna fail my theory trial exam :( . Bless me?

When you see my boy

Just tell him I miss his smile

Tell him I'm counting the minutes

Gonna see him in a little while


xoxo

:: JUST SO YOU KNOW ::

Bonjour everyone! Here to update! I'm seizing every second of my leisure time to think about what I should write about for my next update as I will not be updating so frequently when the time comes to the lane of hell, August. Right, I'll be sitting for two trials continuously then straight to the actuals. Trust me, you'll miss my updates from the month of August onwards! Heh.

My oral group was chosen to be assessed by Mr. Daljit. I wrote the oral script all over again 'cos our original oral script was lost. Well, even if it wasn't lost, I would still elect to write a fresh one since the original one was so lame nobody could actually comprehend what we were trying to say. Hence, I wrote an oral script about 'Harry Potter & the Peculiar Wand'. Everyone who read it gave me the same response: "LAME". I have to agree with them. Haha. So, during the 2nd recess on last Thursday, we rehearsed once outside our classroom before heading to the library to be officially assessed. We were enormously nervous our legs couldn't stop being wobbly. When we stepped into the library, there Mr. Daljit was sitting at a corner, waiting for us. Holey shyt, my heart pounded real rapidly I felt sick, probably almost to puking. Oh FYI, Mr. Daljit is the head of English department. According to some of my friends, he's the most strict English teacher in our school. How can you tell me not to feel scared? We started our dialogue. After that, we were asked to answer a few of his questions. To sum it up, it wasn't that scary after all. I've got 13 marks over 15, which I'm already pretty satisfied with it. Also, Mr. Daljit was acting quite friendly to us on that day. It may be one of his innate good sides!

Computed my average mark for this term's school exam. Improved. So what? It's considered the almost-lowest average mark in my class. Some people may tell me 'Don't compare yourself with others. Your friends in your class are psychos'. No people, I am NOT comparing my results with others. I'm competing with myself. I'm challenging myself, giving a target so that I would be more motivated to study hard to reach my goals. I failed. Do you know how it feels to have the kind of feeling, feeling so devastated like an unenthusiastic berserk girl. Sometimes, I feel like putting myself into a campaign to get rid of my hassle and problems. This is it. I, will just face the fact that I may not be the best, but in my parents' eyes, I am the best for I've done my best. URGH This is just such an absurd consolation to myself! The agony and exasperation deeply in my soul is so intangible it's giving me too much of torments. Save me :( .

On Sunday, we went to Uncle Andrew's birthday dinner. It was supposed to be on Saturday but heck, there were so many Bersih rallies all over Kuala Lumpur for protestations, causing so many of road-blocks. Plus, the restaurant is nearby KLCC. How could we manage to bring ourselves there? Bloggers are all talking about Bersih. No worries. I'm so not talking about that. I'm getting bored of it already. Let's just pray that Malaysia will survive, hehe. The dinner was normal as usual. Aunty Jenny's cakes never fail to be complimented. Oh yea, I'll be taking cookery course near my house after JUEC. Boy I just can't wait! Down there, you'll see a picture of me with a pair of sheer grey eyes. When you simply glance across it, you'll actually have the first thought that I might be wearing grey-coloured lens. But when you really look into it, you'll see a person who looks like a blind person with uncoloured eyeballs. Go and check it out ;) . Pictures wholly belong to Aunty Ruth. Enjoy!

I was rushing with my art homework few hours back. Came back home from school and daddy fetched me to a bookshop nearby to buy some stuffs for my art homework. Students who are not taking for the art exam in JUEC were given a homework to make a card. I found some decorations which are opportune to the idea I've thought last night (from the net precisely). Eventually, after some help from Jane, and so many hours of cutting and adhering, I made a friendship card. It wasn't that bad. In fact, I kind of like it. Haha. Pictures are below. You'll see a picture of a piece of paper. It's a shot of the paper I used for the card. It has many hearts on it, yay!

I used to love making cards. Anything to do with art and crafts was my cup of tea. I lost interest suddenly I downgrade myself a lot. Anyhow, I'm still glad I didn't screw up my homework, though. You may not like it BUT I LIKE IT. Probably mainly because it's partially covered up with polka dots! It's 10pm already. Wanted to study a little bit of Science. D: Brain-resting. Goodnight readers :) . I'll update on Sunday if I have time. TTFN!

The flimsiest obstacle in life

Gives your life

The aura of ecstasy and satisfaction.

:: FLY EMIRATES ::

Exasperated,

I know, I never promised it would be until my death,

But sometimes to go on I can see just a way,

Breakin something on your head,

So maybe you would be able to keep silence at least a minute of your day.

xoxo

:: STOP AND STARE ::

Happy Tuesday peeps! Been through quite a hard time last week. Took back all the exam papers and none of them literally reached my heart's content. I don't know. I tried so hard, and yes, I tried the hardest for this time including the exams when I was Junior 1 and 2. I studied so much I just couldn't find a better way to improve. Well, there is a slight improvement, but the ones which dropped have dropped drastically. I kept whispering to myself "Emily, your hardwork will be made up for all the discomforts". Everything ended up like a blank piece of paper. You wouldn't want to imagine how much the wounds on my maimed fragile heart have doubled and trebled. I'm yearning for a place which is just a ticket to me. A place with no worries but glee beyond boundaries.

On Saturday which is within the exam weeks, I went to my cousin brother's wedding lunch. I didn't want to go 'cos I had so many subjects untouched, like Geography and Sejarah. But it was something like my cousin brother's once-in-a-lifetime thing, so I went. Plus, he stays in Singapore and I rarely get to see him here. I brought some books and studied a few pages. was sort of distracted by my cousin sister as she couldn't stop annoying me. Also, some of my relatives who sat pretty far away from my seat asked my mum why didn't I lift up my head but kept looking downwards. They didn't know there were books on my lap. They thought I was moody or sorts. LOL. Then after the wedding lunch, they came and coax me that learning how to chill is even important than studying so hardly. That I have to agree with them. I was real nerdy there. Some of the strangers looked at me with the 'omg that girl is peculiar' eye contacts. Wanted to stop studying but I really had no ample time. The spiritual enforcement, yes it was.

To reflect on it, the wedding lunch wasn't that bad. The food was okay. Nothing special. But I got to meet my relatives who I've met when I was merely 3 from America. As usual, my cousin sister (shuni) sang on the stage with my another cousin sister who we call her the secretary of ShuNi. Their singing can damage my eardrums man. Sorry to insult, but they insisted singing songs which were totally out of their voice range. Nothing much about the wedding lunch. Recalling it just makes me blame on it for occupying so much of my revision time hah. Photos speak it all. Enjoy!


On the last day of exams, me, yTeng, zSan and zYuan headed to Sunway Pyramid right after the KH paper. Gillian didn't get to go 'cos her mum sort of grounded her. She'll be only freed off after our JUEC exam, which is gonna be a long long time. I know I'll be very disrespectful to her mum if I backstab her here but I still wanna say things about her. Firstly, does she know what is the exact definition of teenagers? Teenagers are meant to be given an appropriate life of a teenager, we call it a teenage life. A teenage life consists of so many varieties like playing truant every day with bad juveniles OR viewing the situation with positive perspectives, studying and enjoying life with friends. Does she think that her very own daughter should be stated in the group of playing truant every day, no? Her daughter needs a life; deserves a life; wants a life. She thinks that life without outings and conducive rules are what a teenager needs to have a brighter future. Does she think so this way. Then she's so wrong. She wants her daughter to quit athletics when she already knew very well that she has the talent and she performed so well showing such motivated aptitude. Please, as a friend, I don't care whether you're gonna scream at her for having a friend LIKE ME, but I would like to cordially tell you that, loving a child, is not like this. Give her, a LIFE. End.

Must be bored with all the craps and blabbering, but I myself did enjoy the typing haha. Okay. We wanted to watch a HongKong comedy but ended up watching another comedy about the racism between different religions. Although there were so many obscene scenes and so many swear words used, we learned quite a few facts regarding Jews and Islams from the movie. Oh yea, I forgot to mention about the name of the movie haha. It's 'Infidel'. It's a so-so movie. Can't say it's good, can't say it's bad too. Maybe a rating of 3/5 will do. Before the movie, we had lunch in a ramen restaurant. Was chatting and gossiping. Had a real fun time with them. Okay, it's turn for the pictures to show off!

Wanted to mention about another very traumatic thing I knew few days back. Seems like I'm lack of time 'cos I have some stuffs for me to finish up right now. I shall talk about it the next time I update hey? Gonna get back my Biology paper and English essay tomorrow. Firstly, teacher said the points in my essay which should be relevant to the importance of saving the earth are kind of, hidden in the mist. Meaning the points are not written clear enough. To exaggerate it, I consider my essay out of topic even though it's not. Also, teacher said my summary is lacking one more point because I joined two points in a sentence. In short, I flunked my essay paper. Biology. One word and you can get the picture: FAILED. Okay, goodnight.

I was waiting for you

Outside a dilapidated empty house

Located in an unknown suburb.

You never knew

How picturesque your back is to me

How much I wanna make a difference.

I know I'm gonna get through,

Albeit rather tough.

Just 'cos you would be there.

But you weren't.

Why,

Why didn't you turn back?

xoxo
