Em's Feverish Blossom: 2012

Helloooo everyone! My blog is sort of dead because I haven't been having enough time on blogging but now the days of piles of papers and works are over! Firstly, it was school exam. Okay I've got to admit that I didn't do much preparations for the exam so if my results end up really sucky I would have to say that I deserve it. And if my results end up like flying colours (which is pretty impossible) I wouldn't feel happy at all but in fact I would feel really guilty 'cos there are people out there who have put in so much of hardwork and concentration on exam. I personally think that every single one of us on planet earth can actually excel in exams or any other things that we are focusing on AS LONG AS we are willing to put in effort and not to forget, hundred percent of determination. That is basically the hardest task to achieve and THAT is why we people are categorized as stupid and smart that is practically equivalent to lazy and diligent ones respectively. Well, I'm sure all of us know very well which category we are at ;) .

Today's school was very unproductive. In the morning when I reached school, I felt that I would waste my entire Tuesday that COULD be awesome if I stayed at home to do something meaningful, like updating my blog? Haha. In spite of the really sucky moments when getting back the papers with superbly bad results that are a big eye sore, it wasn't as bad as expected 'cos we played games like snake and ladders, and we also thought of some activities like musical chair. Half the class was absent, so it was easier for us to play in a small group. The best part was the part when we started playing chinese chess and I only realized how people in private schools are so unfamiliar to chinese chess 'cos for the past few years in chinese schools, virtually EVERYONE knew how to play, not to say that we could really master it but at least we were quite familiar to the basic moves. And VIWAWA was the website that trained me to play better as I was quite addicted to it when I was standard 6. Tomorrow will be a better day since I'll be bringing chinese and english chess, maths magic, cluedo and monopoly deal.

Last Saturday was an important day in Malaysia. Why? Well I didn't affect me much but Kpop is becoming so on the trend recently that I feel that as long as you know Kpop, like Kpop, listens to Kpop, you can eventually join a huge circle of friends, haha. When almost everyone in Malaysia was in BigBang's (I used to be quite addicted to their songs when they were considered unknown) concert, my parents went to Genting Highlands with WenHui's parents for YeQianWen's concert. Her songs are quite soothing but I don't know how she looks like. I'm guessing that she's one of those old folks singers but if you want to make sure you can google her anytime :) . So, WenHui, Jane and I baked Red Velvet cupcakes and the cheese cream frosting was so tasty that I actually figured that I could gain weight by incessant taking in of the frosting since it tasted so heavenly!

I haven't been updating about birthday bashes in Sri KL 'cos to me it has become a very common tradition that is a must-have but on JiaYi's birthday, the present for her from me, Eunice and WenHui was a hamster (I personally get very disgusted easily by any moving things that look like rats and yes, hamsters do look like rats). Whenever I see them running all over the place and looking for desirable places to dig, I feel like I could actually bite my nerves and kill myself 'cos you wouldn't understand how sensitive I am to those tiny little things. However, I felt that I could literally bond with this particular hamster that we named it as Swift. Why? Well, it was actually named after JiaYi's idol, Taylor Swift, and also because it is superbly swift since I asked the promoter to get us an active and naughty one. I kept it at home one day before her birthday and you people should absolutely see how my mom reacted when she suddenly realized that there was a hamster just right in front of her room. Ahem, I'm guessing my genes are from her?

The next day, I brought it to school and it has become the attention of the class and they loved it so much! Especially the gang of notorious guys in my class who almost got it killed by insisting to get it out of the cage to feel the softness of its fur. Typical teenage guys craving for puffy little things, haha. So, other than the hamster, we also got her this chewy thing that I can't remember what it's called. I didn't know what was it for at first but I noticed it's for the hamster to clean, sharpen and floss its teeth! I couldn't help it but to burst into laughter. Look at the hamsters. They need not worry about anything in life, like getting good results, graduate, earn money, die young DOTS DOTS. They get everything like the chewy stuff and other really attractive soft toys. Maybe I should just die young and reborn as soon as possible. If I were to choose I would definitely choose to be a billionaire's saint bernard that can laze around all the time without having to look after the safety of the mansion since there will be well-trained security guards whatsoever. Hi Emily, dream on.

Say hi to Swift!

The certificate that I made, ahem, with my dad's chop on top -.-
He insisted to do so in order to make it genuinely official.

The last day of exam was on last Thursday when we had Chemistry for our last paper. Chemistry sucked to the max. I mean, how can people out there ever comprehend the unknown alphabets and numbers, the balancing BLAHBLAH whatsoever all I know is that it is seriously non of my business and I just don't seem to understand why I still need to struggle so much TRYING to understand when I am so certain that I was born to NOT understand Chemistry. Okay, my main point was supposed to be sushi and I shall stop complaining about my dumb brain chemistry receptor cells. Oh or maybe my sinus is attacking me RIGHT NOW so I can't seem to control my fingers.

So, I went to Wendy's house to make sushi with HoYan for JiaChi on that day. People tend to think that baking and cooking is the same but hey, baking doesn't involve much heat (except for the oven part) and oil (except for the butter and other oily ingredients) so basically, I don't usually SWEAT when baking. Hmm, I don't know whether making sushi is considered cooking but we COOKED pearl rice, eggs and crab stick so it's probably a part of cooking ei? At first, it tasted pretty good and we felt kind of proud of being able to make the sushi ourselves without any help from the adults ('cos we don't do sushi that often) and so we thought JiaChi would love to have those sushi as her birthday present. Sadly on the next day when it was refrigerated after one whole night, it was hard and tasted really BAD. We almost have devastated, so all we could do was to pray that it would taste better after taking out from the refrigerator for some time. Unexpectedly, it ended up tasting as good as before, just that the rice became harder but other that that, it was pretty satisfying.

Looks quite nice right? :DD

Mayonnaise was a really good flavour enhancing sauce. AHA.

OH there was a smiley face too! *RAWRRRR*

We went to JiaWen's house at first. JiaWen went out for breakfast with her family when we reached her front gate so we had to stand under the burning sun LOL. Her dog was barking at us like we were going to intrude her house and I actually thought that her FEMALE dog should attend pets etiquette class 'cos she seemed to be fiercer than my ROTTWEILER. Craps. Okay, then when they reached, me, HoYan, Wendy, ShuQi, JiaWen, JiaWei, WanYen and JiaChi went to 1 Utama together. We weren't planning about anything, plus the stupid TGV cinema was under renovation but all of us were way too smart that we didn't even know that there was also another GSC cinema in 1U so we were basically loitering around making a fool out of ourselves, well, AS USUAL. I seriously don't mind how people think about us 'cos as long as we are having fun, and as long as we are contented, nothing can stop us. Even when a horrendous catastrophe hit us, we're still like that and nothing can ever change us :) . Tight grasp of friendship ei?

Hmmm.... I guess that's all for today! My next entry will be a very intriguing one so stay tuned for my next update! See you real soon peeps ;) !

Having brunch at teppanyaki.

2nd attempt with ShuQi's nice face haha.

I didn't know there was candylicious in 1U. SERIOUS!

Humongous kisses.

Camwhore mo in Uniqlo.

Halloween is awesome like that!

To think about it, Halloween is actually more of having fun than
getting all freaked out of the ghosts and vampires, lol.

Awesome fruit cake by JiaWen's awesome aunt!

Beloved ones.

much attention HAHA.

I never did a day's work in my life.

It was all fun.

Helloooo lovelies! I just realized that I've always started my blog post about the weather so today I'm going to make a change! Oh well, listening to The Script's Breakeven is pretty much a heart's contentment half-filled. For some reason it actually makes my fingers feel like strumming on the strings of the guitar singing my lungs out but unfortunately my guitar is no where around me at this moment so let's just forget it. It is Malaysia Day tomorrow and I'm glad that I'm not going to fall into the situation of Monday Blues that is completely loathsome to me! Well, I get that every week and that just makes me an emo kid on Mondays, boo-hoo. I know this is really random but iTunes is currently playing Vanessa Carlton's A Thousand Miles and that reminds me about WHITE CHICKS, nananana.

Yesterday's music class was literally one of the most unforgettable ones. When piano class ended, there was a cockroach that came in out of nowhere once I opened the door. I didn't freak out as much as my teacher (FYI, she is 46 years old) did 'cos I personally think that cockroaches are like ants, no need to be afraid of. My teacher was screaming and jumping all over the place that all the other teachers from other classrooms had to come out to see what happened. It was superbly embarrassing 'cos everyone EVERYONE thought I was the one who screamed. Well, if you were one of them you wouldn't be expecting a 46-year old woman screaming for a small little cockroach, right? So, it crawled up the curtain and I was so tempted to catch it with my hands (like what I usually do when I see the 'buzzing bugs' in my hometown). I couldn't help it so I easily caught it with my right hand. My teacher was so traumatized that she went out of the classroom screaming at a corner where the parents outside were laughing. No joke, but people tended to think that I killed the cockroach which is definitely FALSE. I held it on my palm and I DID NOT squish it. Get the word right please. In the end, my teacher (who thought I killed it with my hands) got so disgusted that she immediately shifted my bags to the other place. Anyhow, my friend who was sitting outside watching the whole cockroach scene told me that it was enormously hilarious and virtually everyone outside was chuckling when the teacher and the student (yours truly) didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Once again, tomorrow IS Malaysia Day and speaking about Malaysia Day, do allow me to boast about our awesome pawsome class deco 'cos we got the FIRST place for the competition! Proudly to say, I was very much involved in the class deco unlike the one we had previously that I didn't even bother to help. Selfish is the word but I simply hated school to the max at that time. Nevertheless, the Merdeka class deco did not fail to unite our class as one team at least for ONCE, FINALLY! I didn't do much like painting, drawing and sorts 'cos I'm absolutely a dumb freak at all these stuffs but hey, I've done some word headers and it didn't turn out THAT bad kay. Not to forget, the duty roster that no one could ever believe that it was produced by yours truly :) . Now, let the pictures below speak!

LingHui is talented like that ;) !

We also filled up the windows!

Tiger version of the nyan cat, haha.

Amazing painting of the transformation of Malaysia.

It's Alison's birthday today and we had such a blast in DoubleTree Hotel just now! I finally got to meet her. Oh and, her boyfriend, Andy, who she did not mention to me! They're really sweet together though. So, the foods were simply mouthwatering. The desserts were somehow disappointing and they actually put the beautiful macarons into a glass container and when I asked for it, they said OOPS SORRY IT'S ONLY FOR DISPLAY. How great -.- . Anyway, HoiShan is leaving to the USA in November and I just can't bear with the feeling seeing my friends leaving Malaysia one by one, HURTFUL. She's such an awesome friend and I can't afford to lose another friend again :( .

Now back to the story. So, I got to make new friends like Leanne, Anne, Kautsar and Andy who are in college with Alison. Most of them were talking about their miserable life in high school and surprisingly Leanne lives in Puchong too! Basically the birthday celebration was fun. Especially the part when we played Truth or Dare and the birthday girl had to hug a female who was 18 and above. Yeap, she hugged a pregnant woman and you should totally look at her facial expression when Alison asked "I'm sorry but this is a dare. Can I hug you?". I couldn't help it but to burst into laughter. Her expression, was PRICELESS. Plus, DO NOT forget that it was a pregnant lady and if anything happened, ahem, haha...

I really missed the moment when we worked hard with the Cynorinx band, and when we were forced to sing the songs that we hated during school's Open Day for guitar society, and when we were acting like those people with high pitch voice, and when we created the 1st 'bubu' in Shogun. Everything was like a dream, it just passed by like a blink of an eye and we're all grown up (sounds pretty nostalgic now, haha). Thank you for being such an awesome friend. Once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY and even though we don't meet so frequently, may the memories never be forgotten forever :) .
