:: FROM THE ASHES ::

Good evening everyone! Sorry for not updating recently but I was superbly busy these few days. Homeworks are seriously stressing me up. I didn't have to do my homeworks when I was in my previous school. Well, I had to but I didn't want to. All I had to do was to copy, copy and COPY. Simple and nice :) . But I told myself that copying won't do me any good and it's definitely not helping me on enhancing those subjects drastically. So yea, I'm starting to learn to not copy and do everything on my own. Doesn't sound like me at all, haha. But firstly, I so so so need to improve my time management.

31st of January was my birthday and it wasn't too bad. At least a little bit better than what I expected earlier. I was expecting for a day which I would be lonely and it wouldn't even be my birthday that I will actually remember. But one thing was that in school, YingYing remembered my birthday and so everyone in the class knew it was my birthday. They started wishing me and they sang me birthday song as well. I felt the warmth, lol. We were in the Bio-lab and I was sitting beside Joyce. We were talking for 2 periods and when she knew it was my birthday, she kept saying that she felt really sucky 'cos she didn't know it was my birthday. The point is, we were talking for 2 periods! Haha, I didn't mention that to her 'cos I don't think it was necessary, though.

You might be staring at my dad in the last photo. Wondering why does he look so gay huh? Nahh, he wanted to cover his body with the pillow 'cos he wasn't wearing a shirt, haha. So, Chinese New Year is coming to an end. How's your CNY so far? Mine was okay and nothing special happened. The family and I went back to daddy's hometown. Missing the peace over there already :D . We also went to Thailand, as usual.

Dear GongGong, how are you in heaven up there? I sincerely wish you a very happy Chinese New Year and I hope you feel the sincere in me. I miss you so much. I want you to tell me more jokes which no one could ever tell me better. I want you to cook me maggie for supper when I feel hungry that I can feel the love from you through the noodles :) . I want to see you combing your bald head with gel to make your head look shinny. I want you to make me milo and say it's coffee. Why is God so cruel? Why did God ever take you away from us without even giving us an opportunity to say goodbye?

On the last day of school before CNY holidays, I was so excited and I was waiting for the bell to ring during the last period. When school was dismissed, my classmates gathered their iPhones on the table. I was surprised how people nowadays love iPhone so much. Then, we went to the canteen and had our lunch. It was nasi lemak and it didn't taste that bad. Today's was quite terrible 'cos we had tomato rice, chicken (which I'm completely sick of it already), salmon and vege for lunch. The rice tasted pretty eccentric. But it's still bearable. Well at least it's better than the tomato spaghetti in school -.- . Worst was mushroom soup. You wanna know how bad the mushroom soup tasted like? You can go and get mushroom soup in can, cook it and mix it with MILK. I almost have puked out everything after my first sip. Nobody in school will ever think that it's nice.

School is getting much better already. I am starting to get used to the new environment, teachers and friends. To be frank, the friends there are nicer far beyond my expectation. I had fun with a few of them who I would like to introduce here: Tharchanna (my first Indian friend and it's utterly fun to be with her. She's talkative, hilarious and kind. I love her :D ), Nura (my second Malay friend. She has beautiful teeth, haha!), Joyce (the awesome friend of mine who sits beside me. She calls me a loudspeaker and says she's a mouse 'cos she's shy. As a matter of fact, she can be pretty loud but oh well, I still win when it comes to comparing the loudness between Joyce and I XD ), LingHui (another awesome friend of mine who sits behind Joyce. She has a smart look that makes me feel tiny sometimes :D . She talks a lot, but I ALSO win when it comes to comparing :D ), YingYing (my good friend who has countless of similarities with me. She's adorable 'cos she has 2 dimples. The way she speaks is also very very cute. She does not sound like a form 4 student at all! I love talking to her :D ), Jinghann (a very friendly friend who is always busy with her prefect duty but I still love her lots, heh. She always has the AC remote control with her which I find it pretty cute. And, she's a great swimmer :) ), Crystal (who sits next to me. She's smart and funny. She belongs to the school's volleyball team and I envy how she can cope with both sports and studies. She's awesome too!) and Sheena (my 2nd Indian friend who is in red house with me. Sadly, she's transferring to another school soon ;( ).

There are also some other friends who are really nice, like ChengMun, Senoja, WenQian, ShuHuan, SiuChing, ShunEe, WaiHoe, Ryan, Aaron, TzeSheng, NelSern and dot dots. Life's getting so much better and I'm lovin' it. How's yours ;) ?

It is not length of life

but depth of life that matters.

Make your life wonderful

and full of challenges.

xoxo

:: KISS GOODBYE ::

Good day peeps! Today's the last day of school before CNY holidays. Since I didn't get to go anywhere right after school, I have plenty of time to blog right now. I'll talk about school in my next post, just so you're curious why I'm not updating about it, haha. In this post, I have some messages to my friends in Kuen Cheng. I don't know if they will actually read it, I don't know if they actually know the existence of this blog, but I'll just write. Since school has restarted, I only realized how much I missed them and how much I regretted not appreciating and cherishing each time I had fun with my friends. These days, I've been recalling the moment when we sang together while I was playing the guitar during recesses on Thursdays, the moment when we couldn't stop talking about TVB dramas, the moment when we were scratching our head off solving all the mathematics equations, the moment when we were all helping each other on PMR and JUEC revisions, the moment when we took our junior graduation slip...... The moments which nothing and no one else could ever replace.

Dear HooYiTeng, I knew you when we were Form 2 and you're my smartest friend on this planet earth. You're so awesome I just can't find a reason to dislike you. You're friendly and affable. That is why I feel really lucky to have you as one of my best friends. Until now, you're still the one who coaxes me to think of the positive sides. Thanks for giving me perennial joy.

Dear LimJieXi, you're an adorable girl with cute bangs, which totally reminds me of Japanese. We can talk non-stop that we won't even realize if any catastrophes is hitting us. You're intelligent and diligent. Hoping that we can meet up sooner or later.

Dear CheowZhiSan, okay, I seriously do not know where to start with :D . YOUUUUUU, I think you're like my bestest best best best friend and I won't be able to breathe without you. You're like a system in my body that provides me oxygen. This shows how vital you are to me, cheow :) . I remember how we used to talk about HongKong dramas DURING exams when we were in primary school. We weren't that close at that time. Then on the 2nd day of high school, FuLaoShi smartly ordered you to sit next to me. And that's where out story began. You're the sole person who never fails to console me, make me feel like hitting you, make me LMAO, make me feel really annoyed with your philosophy, pull me up when I collapse, make the ugliest face I've ever seen, make the most disgusting flirty face, and most importantly, make me realize how important friends are in life. One day, if I were to write a story between a friend and I, you're my number one option :D .

Dear LeongJiaWen, no wait, you aren't LeongJiaWen! You are AUNTY LEONG! Hahahaha. We used to be ordinary friends who would just walk pass each other without even saying hi and bye. Then when we were form 3, you sat behind me. We started knowing each other more and finally, we became the craziest students in class. No wait, I wasn't crazy. YOU MADE ME CRAZY!! Ahh, now I get it. LeongJiaWen, I now declare that you are sentenced to death for making me CRAZY :P . I hate you! Nahhh, I love you :) .

Dear AngZhuanYuan, seriously, I do not know how to convey my love for you in mere words, son :) . You're the sun that makes me shine, you're the music that clears my chaos, you're the smile that makes me happy, you're the tissue that wipes away my tears, you're the ears that always listen to my words, you're the food that provides me energy, you're the fan that cools me down, you're the eyes that make me see more of the world...... YOU'RE MY EVERYTHING! You're not my friend, you don't deserve to be my friend, 'COS YOU DESERVE MORE! I Love You Forever & Always :) .

Dear SoonRueChien, you bad bad girl who makes me go MORE crazy just like how Aunty Leong did to me! Hahaha, just kiddin'. First of all, I would like to congratulate you as you have successfully become the president of KC school band! I wanna see more of you conducting 'cos you're simply HOT! Heh, and COOL! I really enjoy going for karaoke with you 'cos you have melodious voice like a hummingbird! Remember the times when you, Aunty Leong and I were thinking of the melodies for the lyrics before JUEC? It was awesome! I genuinely wish you luck for being Cheow's seat partner. I don't want you to turn abnormal after spending too much time with her, hahaha :D .

Dear LeeGillian, you're a very hyper friend of mine and I feel way too peaceful without any hyper friends around in my new school. You're helpful and considerate. The most precious moment we had together was when we suffered studying together in the library when we were having PMR. You gave me motivations, positive encouragements and full support. I wish you luck in your future to excel in all your examinations. I hope to see you being the best athlete in school one day :) . You and I, MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE LIKE JAGGER!

Dear TzarinaMustapa, MUMMAAAAAAAY!! Haha, you're the sexiest belieber ever! *rawr* Whenever I recall how I started talking to you for the very first time, I'll just laugh non-stop. And yes, it was JUSTIN BIEBER who started our conversation :D . I love spending time with you because both of us play same kinds of songs on the guitar! Love 'ya mum :) . Dear Nini, GRAMMAAAAAA!! First of all, you're a really cute and nice person. You're fun to chat with and I love how you always make me feel happy to see you 'cos when I see you, I see the word 'cheerful', haha. Oh oh oh, there was one time when we were jumping up and down for the entire break in JR3B, remember? WE WERE DARN RETARDED! WHY DID WE ACTUALLY DO THAT? Hahaha, but heck it was fun jumping around with you ;) .

Dear ChaiYiLing, MY DEAREST HUBBAAAAAAAY!! You're my most beloved hubby ever that sometimes I would ask myself, how great would it be if you were born a boy!? Haha, I'll definitely woo you 'till the end of my life. We started to get closer and closer because of cartoons. Gawsh, I still can't believe it XD . We were talking about Dibo, Higglytown Heroes and so forth! You're really adorable and I envy you because you have nice and fair skin :D . I hope you're enjoying yourself in Sri Garden and hopefully we can meet up soon. Love you forever & always, wifey :) .

Dear Charmaine, DADDAAAAAAY!! You're humorous, sporty, and BEAUTIFUL! Have I ever told you that some people in my class (JR3A I meant) told me that you're beautiful? Hah, now I'm telling you this if I haven't! I have to agree with them because you were born pretty with beautiful eyes! If I were telling you about this in person, YOU'LL DEFINITELY SHOW ME THAT DISGUSTED EXPRESSION :DD ! I don't understand why I don't have your genes. I actually FAILED my basketball test last year and you're a player from the school's basketball team. This is SHAMEFUL :( . Anyways, I hope you'll have a great year of 2012. We must hang out before the end of the world yeaaaa!

Dear LooWendy, bwahaha YOU SEXY LOO! We're already really great friends when we were standard 6. The days when I used to sit next to you in primary school were a torture to me 'cos YOUR LAUGHTER WAS FUNNIER THAN ANY OTHER JOKES OUT THERE! I ALWAYS HAD STOMACHACHE JUST BECAUSE OF LAUGHING TOO MUCH WITH YOU! But you're a really awesome friend of mine :) . You're fun to talk to and most importantly, we're practically the same kind of people, haha. To be honest, you're like another version of Cheow :D . I can't literally tell you how much I appreciate our friendship by words. OUR FRIENDSHIP IS BEYOND BOUNDARIES! CHEEEEEEEERS!

Dear LowSoonYin, you're another extremely HYPER friend of mine :) . We are the UGLY BETTIES! Haha, that's a dumb name which I created after we had our braces on together. What should I say? YOU'RE SMART BUT YOU'LL NEVER ADMIT IT! Haha, just ADMIT IT. If you don't, PROVE IT TO US BY ACHIEVING TERRIBLE RESULTS :D ! I wish you luck on finding your true love. And, I can't wait to hang out with you without braces! We're so gonna look SMEXY! Hahahaha, just kiddin' :D .

Dear YapZhiWen, I just only realized that we don't even have a photo together, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? Lol. You're the best brother, the best silent-listener, the best helper and the BEST CHOCOLATE COLLECTOR :D ! I used to rely on you a lot, LIKE SERIOUSLY A LOT. 'Cos you're always there for me come what may. You listen, when I'm down; You help, when I'm not capable of finishing my works; You give comments, that I love to read best. Why do you have to be so reliable? YOUR FAULT :P ! Haha, the days in Sri KL without you are superbly miserable 'cos no one will tell me THE LAMEST JOKES on earth. Who is YapZhiWen? HE'S THE LAMEST PERSON EVER, but me likey :) .

Dear LoongChangHwang, I guess you won't even want to read this because you will only read things in Chinese, but I'll still write. You're another awesome brother and also a very awesome person to play + chat with. I envy you because you're really good in Mandarin and many other subjects, WHICH DO NOT INVOLVE LANGUAGES OTHER THAN MANDARIN. Haha, I know how much effort you have put on improving English, but it takes time kay Loong? Dream high and I believe one day, you'll reach your aim to start your career in America :) .

There are still a lot of people who made my junior high school life unforgettable. They're HanYin, SamYee, SethFoo, ZhiQian, AlisonTan, BeatriceTan, HaoYing, AndrewOoi, YeowRong and MANY MANY MORE! It will take me AGES to finish this post. In short, I'll like to thank all of you for making my junior high school life a blast and I can't find any reasons to not love you all :) . You guys are the best and I definitely have no regrets getting to know all of you. I LOVE MY KUENCHENG FRIENDS!

A real friend is one who walks in

when the rest of the world walks out.

:: POWER OF LOVE ::

Hey! This is my first post in the year of 2012! Well, most bloggers will start their first post with how they celebrated their Christmas and New Year. But I'm currently lacking time, so I might just tell you about that later. Sighs, thinking about 2012 just reminds me that the earth is going to explode in no time. I don't wanna just end my life this way! It's tooooo miserable :( . Okay, let's not think about the melancholic side but think positively.

Yesterday was truly a busy day! Early in the morning, my mum fetched me to the dentist. My teeth are actually hurting a lot right now. It's so tightened up and I can feel that all the teeth are moving to a different position. This isn't my first time so I got used to it already. It gives a lot of pain after the appointments every single time. But after a few days, the pain will just fade away. Also, my braces are in coral colour, which is a very striking colour and I'm lovin' it. Initially, I was thinking of having blue, again. For your information, I've got braces in turquoise, sky blue, ocean blue, aqua and many other blues. So i guess it's time for me to change into a fresh colour. It isn't that bad, though.

After that, I had violin, piano and theory class continuously. Ohhhh I'm so glad I am able to sit for the last grade of violin in June! You won't believe this, I actually got stuck in grade 8 for 2 years. Normal people out there would take merely 1 year but ahem, I am unique in a kind of way, haha. Piano diploma class is a torture. My teacher got me this Hanon book and it's more on finger exercising. It's tough, dude. I would rather play a hundred pieces of waltzes by Chopin than playing these exercises every day. Sobs. No pain no gain. I shall just bear with all the torments, heh.

Then, I went for swimming lesson, ALONE. #foreveralone. Xiaoteng, Jiaying and my sister had menses TOGETHER. I do not know if this is a mere coincidence or a beautiful lie -.- . Good thing is that, I can finally swim breaststroke without any floaties!! #victory. I don't know why I'm so into swimming these days. Whenever I see water, I'll think of the pool. And whenever I think of the pool, I'll have the urge to swim :D . As you know, I don't exercise much, and swimming is considered as an extreme exercise since swimming virtually depends on the movement of our entire body.

Just now, the sisters and I baked chocolate cookies and they're simply delicious! And that's where my inspiration to blog about what my friends and I baked last month comes from. Jiaying and Xiaoteng came over after our swimming lesson last few weeks. We attempted to bake macaroons and our plan ended up pretty fine. The macaroons didn't taste that GOOD but they weren't really bad. Plus, it was my first attempt and I considered that as a success. We baked macaroons in lychee, banana and chocolate flavours, with nutella and peanut butter as the fillings. The macaroons were sort of out of the norm 'cos they were all out of shape. Some cracked but most of them were fine. We have already lessened the amount of sugar but my mum said that the macaroons were way too sweet.

Then, we baked cookies! Whenever we took out the tray of cookies from the oven, Jiaying would put it into the freezer (for less than 5 minutes) to make the cookies cooler. That was Jiaying's smart solution to cool down the cookies and there was one time when she literally put the tray in and has forgotten to take it out. At night, my dad screamed 'cos he was astonished to see a tray of cookies in the freezer -.- . Fortunately, they were still edible and surprisingly, they tasted really gooood. Haha, you should try that next time, peeps :) . Sighs, since school has officially restarted, I can't really find time to bake as my schedule is kind of packed up. Especially during the weekends, I have sooooo many classes. How sad :( .

During the holidays, I went to Suanne's house and slept over for 6 nights. Agatha, Suanne and I baked chocolate cookies with marshmallows. It was awesome I tell you! They tasted so heavenly I was munching on the cookies profusely I couldn't stop. Moreover, the heated-marshmallows were gooooood. They were crunchy and a little salty which totally made a perfect match! When we were doing our last tray, Suanne suggested to make a humongous heart-shaped cookie. I don't know why we ended up making something different. I made 2 cookies. One was a x'mas tree and another one was a scary smiley face. They tasted awesome even though the x'mas tree cookie I made looked like an ice-cream cone after being heated in the oven. Alright, I shall let the pictures speak now :D !

So, what about school? How's it? Everything's fine? Yeap, that's what most of my friends asked me recently. Sometimes, I just feel like screaming AHHHHHHH, CAN I JUST GO BACK AND REUNITE WITH ALL OF YOU??!! I didn't, of course. Instead, I told them that everything's fine but I just miss them a lot. As a matter of fact, I don't hate my new school nor do I hate the teachers and new friends there. They're good, really good. But, imagine, I studied in KC for three damn years and my friends there are practically precious beyond infinity. How can I not feel sad? Honestly, I didn't feel sad for leaving at all on the last day of school. In fact, I was feeling super hyped up to leave that darn school. But now, I only realized that, friends are currently the force to pull me back. I don't know. Maybe it's because I still haven't got used to the new surroundings. Or maybe, it's just 1 week of school and things might turn out better when time goes by. You ask me if I regret it or not, I'll elect to answer you, I don't know.

Friendship

is a single soul

dwelling in two bodies.

xoxo
