Sun, Beach and Sweat

I've been going through some of my classmates' blog and most of them didn't update except for alex and giuleta. So hardworking. July was an interesting and exciting month. I went for the Platinum expedition WOOHOO! Its the best expedition ever. Despite me being sunburned and being a few tones darker, i still enjoyed everything during the whole expedition. In Alex's blog she basically explained everything there is in Plat, so i dont really want to write anything more, mainly because i'm lazy. :)

Some of my most memorable memories in plat would be when my team mates had to carry me on the raft (don't know what its called), while i was sun bathing on it, not really enjoyable because i had to lay out pieces of our map on my hand to dry it. Everytime they put me down, the waves would wet the map once again, useless attempt in drying them cos they were already in pieces and at last our map became a ball of wet paper. :(

I also gained an unique experience during our homestay in Teluk Bahang. We were given 2 hours to learn 2 dances. Tarian Zapim and Silat (not a dance but some Malay martial arts performance). Tarian Zapim was very confusing. Me, who has no talent in dancing gave headache to that student who taught us the dance. I was like asking her to repeat every step of the dance. Priyangkha also tried helping me but i just wasnt good at dancing. Sorry! At last i was chosen to be the bride because i sucked at the dance and let my other group members to perform. Mun Heem and I became the newly wed couple hahahaha! We got to wear Malay traditional wedding costumes. One word: Uncomfortable. We just had to sit on stage and watch our group members to perform the 2 dances. After that, Dr. Rizal came up to give us his blessings, he said : Have a good life ahead. HAHAHAHA.

I think Amazing Race was the best among the other activities. Every group has their own vans to drive us around Penang. Penang Batik Factory: painted batik; Tropical Spice Garden: made spice tea, chili paste, coconut powder (dont know what is that); Teluk Bahang Beach: flied a wau; Butterfly farm: placed two millipedes on neck, kissed a toad and take pic of butterfly; Teluk Bahang Homestay: cooked 30 roti jala for lunch and ate it in 2 minutes; Bird park: fed parrots, polished turtle's back, and took pic of flying bird; Botanical garden: danced Penang Joget, got confused with a man whose name is Mama Eina; Chowrasa Market: sold 5 packets of Jeruk; Fort Conwallis: look for silver box (i found it haha :)); Padang: take turns cycling the trishaw; Warung Pasembur: 2 person per very very big plate of Pasembur (Worst challenge and worst food); Tanjung Marina City: End of Amazing Race (we had to run with our stomachs juggling with Pasembur). Echo started last and ended second. YAAAY! So Cool! Overall we didnt get last, just fourth out of five placings.

RIP Michael Jackson

I was not a fan of him, until today. Its ironic, he died, thats only when i take notice of him. Almost every channel on Astro was about him, they showed the cronology of his career and performances of his best hits, can't help but take notice. His performance was undeniably very good. I was born when he was at his peak of his career and also when it was starting to slide down. Of course i have heard a few of his songs on the radio but i just thought it was good and thats all. When i was able to understand more things, i only heard of his negative side which gave me a bad impression of him. Its a great loss, when i was watching his performance it gave me an idea of going for his concerts but i realized that he's dead and gone, its such a waste that he was planning for a comeback concert. Everyone has his ups and downs, but Michael Jackson's road down was just too short and narrow that he hit rock bottom at only 50.

Here are some of my favourite songs of his.






If there is such thing as reincarnation (in this case, i do hope so, at least his talents), in few years time we'll see someone who has the same qualities as an artist as great as Michael Jackson creating a new era.

Save the world

Haha. This title reminds me of the song sung by the cheras primary kids during cempaka voices concert. Moving on, the idea of save the world umbrella was cool and interesting before it was officially launched. The hottest topic nowadays is always about global warming and all sorts of damaging the world stuff. And now our school is actually doing something to somehow aid the world by having this umbrella, i thought maybe if all cempakans came together n save the world, the rate of climate change would slow down at least a bit.

But, after it was officially launched, i was actually disappointed. The ideas they gave are already quite well known already. "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle", this was known once upon a time. I was expecting them to come out with cool ideas that will really motivate us in doing the 3R's. Considering this is their first project, i hope they will use the funds wisely and carry out some really cool and effective projects, at least motivate us better in saving the world.

..........................

Exams are just around the corner, specifically 1 more week. I'm so dead. I've done badly for my 1st mid sem, considering that's our first exam for f4 but this will be our 2nd, so all the teachers are expecting us to do very much better than b4, i dont thing i can do that. I haven't started studying. Yet, i'm still here blogging. Alex, it's all ur fault!

Short

This post will be what the title says. Short. That goes the same for my hair. Short. Yay! I finally cut my hair! My mom didn't allow me to cut it at first because she thinks its a waste cutting my hair. She planned to sell my hair when it's long enough. HAHA! I've asked her to bring me to the saloon for several times already but she just finds a way to avoid it. Maybe the pleading got annoying after asking her so many times, she finally brought me to the saloon. Short hair! Its not that bad. As promised, short. So goodbye!

ps. dont bother that previous post giuleta posted. And I love GD!

Hello!

Hi people. Giuleta here! Audrey Lim is so so busy screwing GD so she asked me to update for her. As a good friend, I help her since this is her English blog. She really really love English so she desperately asked me to update for her. She promised me that she will give me a prize if I update for her.

So I did. I wonder what it is. SO since I'm blogging for her, let me tell a little story about Audrey Lim.

Audrey Lim is a girl. She have a long straight hair and she got a face like a cat. Don't get me wrong. I like her face like a cat. She's cute that way unlike Alexandra! So Audrey is somewhere now doing only god knows what. She is a very shy girl but she's not that shy when she's in front of GD. She's very very vain and she loves her skin. She always dream of marrying GD one day.

But as a good friend of Audrey, I want to wake her up and tell her that GD don't even know you! So I hope one day she will wake up!

That's all for today. I know I will blog for her somemore because she won't stop 'playing' with GD!

Lollipop!

Exam's finally OVER!!! but that doesn't stop the homwork from stopping. :( The worst thing is that i dont have internet connection at home. Maybe u're wondering how the hell i'm blogging, well, i stole internet from neighbour. I have to be in my brother's room to have better connection. So here i am in my brother's room, blogging.

Internet is the best when u're at home, u get updated to stuffs... for example, my big bang's new single with new female group, 21 - Lollipop. It's actually a commercial for a phone called lollipop by CYON. I'm so addicted to the song! Check out the video

The school-less days

After 5 days of doing practically nothing, i'm starting to feel guilty. Therefore, i decided to blog, at least this can be considered as school work, to lessen the guilt...

I've been sick for 3 days. Flu n cough. No fever, i haven't had fever for years already. I'm considered as quite healthy. Unlike giuleta who is always the 1 to be absent from school due to her weak body (which i think is weak for having unhealthy food intake). I haven't been doing anything productive for the last few days. I was sleeping (i wasn't feeling well), stuck with laptop most of the time, searching for new songs, watching dramas, tv, reading fanfic (very addictive)... practically just enjoying holiday at home :P.

Saturday, i went for the prefect's interview. It was nerve racking when we were all waiting for our turn for the interview in the class. My turn was not long, i went in to the room with my best smile on....... (i do not want to spare the details as i feel really bad after that). I don't think i will make it but it was a great experience though.

Today is already wednesday n i havent even touched my schoool books... OMG! im gonna be so dead for the exams! I need a plan! I need to stop with the fanfic reading n the youtube! Oh gosh, i have tuitions for the next following days. I dont know when i'll have time to be at home and really study and i dont want to bury my laptop! It's too white to get dirty. I have accounts tuition exam tmr n i havent started studying but it can be done last minute, i hope its not hard.

I'm currently addicted to the song Say Yes by T-Max, an OST of the drama, Boys Before Flower. It's so addictive. It's those cheerful type of songs that says 'Say YES' and u'll jump along to it. I've been reading some of my classmates' blogs, their's are so interesting and funny compared to mine. I can't complain, the owner of this blog isn't those type of person... so Pn Azura and fellow blog readers, u'll have to bare with me.
