Em's Feverish Blossom: February 2012

Gooood afternoon readers! This post should be published one month ago. Haven't been updating for a month because I had school exam before the holidays. It feels genuinely great to chill during the holidays 'cos last time when I was in KuenCheng, our exams were always after the holidays so we had to study during the holidays. So, what have I been doing during the holidays? TVB, TVB and more TVB! Well, as usual :D . I'm currently watching The Hippocratic Crush (also known as On Call 36 Hours) and it's simply awesome! It's so addictive and exciting that it leaves my heart hanging halfway while they as doctors are trying to save the patients. Plus, the chemistry between the main characters, ZheongYatKin (Kenneth Ma) and FanZiYu (Tavia Yeung) is indescribable. Sometimes, I just will like jumping into the screen and tell both of them how they really feel towards each other.

Yesterday, I went to HanYin's house with Wendy. We had a lot of fun as 3 of us are currently in different schools and we couldn't stop talking and talking! Wendy told us about the stress and all. I feel really blessed that I'm not sandwiched by the stress right now but you won't believe this, sometimes, I miss the stress a lot. Somehow, I feel that the stress was the main force that gave me motivations to study hard and try my utmost during exams. When I don't have the tiresome stress anymore, I feel like I can rott at home every day and do nothing. I feel, darn lifeless.

Last month, all of us in class were busy with the class deco. I stayed back on every Friday to help out but too bad, we were always unproductive on Fridays after school. Our class motto is 'A tree is nothing without its roots', which means that all of us need a strong foundation to move forward and learn more things. Not to forget, our class deco theme is 'Nature'. At first, I didn't really like the idea of using 'Nature' as our theme 'cos it sounded real boring. From primary school to junior high, and from junior high to senior high, the theme's always 'Nature'. But for this time, I don't think it's that bad after all! We made flowers and tree by using crepe papers and See Ai bought fishes too (yeap, real ones :D ). At least, we made the teachers feel the love for nature and feel comfortable in the class. I really hope we can win the competition as we have put in a lot of effort. Go 4 Delta!

Oh I almost forgot! About the school exam, it's definitely 100 times easier than kc's but I still flunked a few, like BM, Moral, Bio and Physics. Think I really need to buck up and try to not rott at home every day. On the last day of exam, I had lunch with Ying Ying and Joyce in Subway. I personally don't really like Subway, so I just ordered soup of the day and it tasted pretty good :) . After that, I took the bus to Midvalley and met up with Gillian and ZhuanYuan. Coincidentally, JiaYing and Nicole were there too! It's been exactly 1 year since I met up with Nicole. Both of them got braces and they're awesome like me, hahaha.

I have a post saying that a cafe called 'Charlie Brown' would be opening in KLCC right? It's officially opened! It's the cutest cafe ever and I'm lovin' it. The interior design was simply awesome! The foods were mouthwatering too! We ordered some cakes before going for movie. Daddy ordered lemon cheese cake, my sister ordered strawberry cheese cake and I ordered chocolate cheese cake. The first branch is located in Penang and I wonder if it's as awesome as the one in KL! Go and have a try and I can guarantee that you'll love it!

One afternoon, the family and I went to an organic restaurant called 'Green Green Organic Kitchen' in KL. It's the best organic restaurant ever! Their foods were beautiful, tasty and most importantly, HEALTHY! Their nasi lemak was not fattening at all! It's healthy and tasty at the same time. Man, where can you find nasi lemak that is healthy? Also, the pasta was green in colour and it didn't taste like those creamy pasta you get out there. It's very unique and the ingredients were wholly created by the owners. And there were many different types of tea. The one we ordered was flower tea (directly translated from Chinese). It helps you to release heat, be able to sleep more comfortably and many many more! You'll already love it by looking at the photos down there, haha. And yes, my tummy is currently grumbling like a naughty boy. For more information, please call Dr. Anya Tay 012-6061581. Address: 40-4, Jln Metro Pudu, Fraser Business Park, Off Jalan Yew, KL. You will not regret it! Go and have a try and tell me if you agree with me or not!

One night, we went to Ishin Japanese restaurant near KuenCheng. It's a bungalow but they revolved it into a humongous restaurant. Their interior design was with no doubt, unique and stylish. Their menus were iPads and I was like 'whaaaaat??!!', haha. Their foods were awesome! I will have to say that Ishin is many times bettter than Umaiya, Genji, Yuzu and so on. Don't compare Ishin with Sakae Sushi and Sushi King because they're TERRIBLE. Hah, have fun looking at the photos yo ;) !

For those who are interested to attend Pastorale's charity concert which will be held in The KL & Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall on the 22nd of April at 8.00pm, please buy the tickets from me or any other students from Pastorale. It's only RM30 and don't forget, IT'S FOR CHARITY!! You won't regret coming because you will get to watch us performing quartets, ensemble performances, choir and some solo performances! Please come and enjoy earth day with us and feel the magic through music. Thank you :) !

Many of of us

crucify ourselves between two thieves

-regret for the past

-fear of the future

Hello earthlings! It's raining right now and I'm lovin' it. The weather's been horrible these few days. It was like my skin would tear off in no time. So yea, the rain would probably kill the heat. Just now, I watched Forever Michael Tribute Concert and Michael Jackson's This Is It on FoxMovies. It made me start thinking, shouldn't there be more tributes for Whitney Houston showing on television? And E entertainment was showing a documentary programme regarding the death of Michael Jackson too. But oh well, Whitney Houston's a really awesome singer with powerful voice. Her songs are full of emotions and love. R.I.P. Whitney Houston. You will be remembered forever :) .

Yesterday, I went for string ensemble practice as usual. My teacher put me into violin 2 because there were only a few members of violin 2 who were present. I thought it was just for practices so the entire practice wouldn't sound so unequal since virtually all violin 3 players were present. I went and sat next to Shawn. Then after that, I only realized that my name would be put under violin 2 for our April's performance. I was so so so pissed off! Last year, I used to be in violin 2. Then teacher said that I should be promoted to violin 1. Then after a few practices, she told me that violin 3 needed more violinists so she put me into violin 3. After so many practices, I can practically memorize which part is the soloist's melody and which is not. I can already muster each and every part of the scores so well. And now, I have to practise all over again. Different scores, different sections, different friends, different style! It's so unfair why I'm the sole violinist who is changed to other groups anytime she likes! People call me a football 'cos teacher gets to kick me from this place to that place and that place to another place whenever she wants!

Another thing is that, I'm gonna sit for my grade 8 violin exam in June and yes, FINALLY I get to go for the exam. But I seriously DO NOT want to be yelled during classes. I hate the exam pieces I hate them! I can't believe that there are actually such lousy composers who would think that their pieces are good enough to be the exam pieces. THEY'RE LOUSY. The main point is that, THERE'S PRACTICALLY NO MAIN MELODY AT ALL. It's really hard for me to muster the pieces I don't like. Hence, I get scolded during classes and the teacher starts to yell at me without even caring about my feelings. I feel so devastated, useless and I just want to forsake, NOW. If I were to go for exam at the right time, I WOULD HAVE FINISHED GRADE 8 WHEN I WAS 13! Sometimes, it's not utterly the students' fault for not practising. It's the teacher who doesn't take things seriously and shirks all her responsibilities when she's supposed to be in class during lessons all the time, to be able to communicate with the students, TO KNOW WHEN IS THE RIGHT TIME TO FOOL AROUND AND WHEN IS NOT.

Honestly, I didn't plan to type all of these craps here but my fingers just couldn't stop typing. My heat is rising, so yea, forgive me. Last last Saturday was Kuen Cheng's Chinese New Year celebration. I went back and it was awesome! I got to meet up with all my friends who I really missed a lot, my teachers and my juniors! The guys have grown so much taller and I was amazed how guys could grow so quickly in such a short period! I had to lift up my head to look at them and it felt strictly awkward, :D . The school was utterly decorated with red lanterns and sorts. Felt completely different in Sri KL as Sri KL wasn't decorated for CNY. We took some photos outside Sr1ScA and we crapped a lot.

I received a letter from Kuen Cheng on Friday last week. It felt darn good to receive something from that school. Hah, and it was to inform me to collect RM100. So, on the next day, I chose to go at the time when they were having their lunch break so that I could meet them. I had to make my dad wake up early 'cos their lunch break was at 9.45pm. When I was there to collect the money from a teacher, she told me that all students from Sri KL are excluded because Sri KL is under Sri KL International School. I was damn pissed off 'cos I went there all the way from Puchong and eventually she told me that I couldn't get it? And, I'm not even studying in an international school. They seriously have no idea how to differentiate Sri KL School and Sri KL International School -.- .

On Sunday, the family and I had dinner with the family from my mother's side. Not many of my relatives came but we still had lots of fun. YeeSang has always been my all time favourite but I only get to eat it during Chinese New Year. Oh and, Chinese New Year has ended. It feels terrible as there are no CNY cookies, CNY angpaus, CNY fire crackers, CNY drama and movie marathons anymore!!

I went for Karaoke with Wendy, Shuqi, ZhiSan and YiTeng on Thaipusam. We didn't sing, WE SCREAMED, as usual. It's simply tough for us to not scream when we're together in the kbox. We always love to challenge ourselves by singing the songs with really high pitch, for example: I will always love you, JianAo and some other Chinese songs from the old generations. Yea we're just awesome like that ;) . Also, RedBox provided us YeeSang for FREE and it tasted pretty goooood. But sad thing was that only few of us could make it. One had to go for tuition, another one had high fever, another retarded one had sore throat. However, we had real fun and it's their loss for not turning up :P .
