Em's Feverish Blossom: October 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 ;) !
