National Service, people!

I shall be stepping into NS in a few days time. I’ll be back for CNY, then I’ll go back and be back again around mid-March.

Feel free to leave comments, drop messages and spam in my chat box while I’m gone. I’ll be back to read them :)

...and Solid Youth strikes again!

Solid Youth Camp 2009
Pantai Indah Seaview Resort, Klang.
[28th-30th Dec 09]

Camp was a blast. It was jam-packed with activities the whole 3 days. And yeah, I DID have fun :D

Thanks for the 'farewell' you guys. But don't miss me too much, I'll only be gone for less than 3 months. Don't ruin my reputation while I'm gone xD

Solid Youth Camp Cautions 101

1. Do not do like 100 of the squats thingy during workshops when you haven't been exercising for months because you'll get muscle aches even before stepping into National Service.

2. Never accept Oreo Cookies from people (eg: YC and Edward) when they offer them ONLY to you, because the oreos would most probably have been filled with toothpaste (Darlie Brand)

3. Do not put toothpaste on Sharon's room door to trick her, because when she finds out, the toothpaste will end up on your face.

4. Do not get a sorethroat just before camp or you might not be able to scream with the rest of us in Heart Attack.You'll just miss out all the fun.

and

5. Get ready to be labeled as Tofu Backside everytime you do something wrong :P

Next year is tomorrow.

Bye 2009, hi 2010 :)

This year, I shall not make any New Year Resolutions because I think I’m good enough already and therefore, do not need to improve in anything anymore :D

NO lah. It’s because I KNOW that I can never keep resolutions, never for more than 3 months anyway.

Well, next year (or tomorrow) will definitely be a huge leap forward for me. No more school, no more uniforms and timetables and clipping up my hair everyday. It’ll be National Service, college (which one???), new friends, new environments.

All I want to do is to trust my Lord Jesus Christ in every step I take because I know that He has a great and wonderful plan for me ahead. The way has been prepared, I just need to trust Him and take one step at a time.

Trust the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 3:5-6

And I choose to trust the Lord.

Trip To Langkawi and Penang [17th-20th Dec 09]

DAY 1:

1. Arrived in school at 6am. Crazy time! I was late. Hehe, not the latest, but was late :P
   

[lynn and I]

2. Stopped by in Ipoh for breakfast

[hui shan, min yee, me, charis, lynn, shiau ling, jiax, sze geet]


3. Watched 2012 on the bus. The ‘helpful’ people who watched already kept yelling out what would happen next :
who would die next, when the floor would crack, when the volcano would erupt, when the crazy mental dude would die. haha XD



4. Arrived at Kuala Perlis Jetty for lunch.

5. Took the 3pm ferry to Langkawi.

[me, celeste, shu yi]


6. Arrived at Langkawi around 4.30pm, then took a bus to our hotel :
Aseanea Resort.


7. Played around the beach! :)

[me, lynn, shiau ling]


8. BBQ at the beach. GREAT FOOD. We started our Guardian Angel game, so it was a good time to serve and be served :P .Had games after that.


9.Headed back to rooms around 10pm. I bought HOTCUP at the mini mart. People! Stop lecturing me about maggi being cancerous!

DAY 2:

1. Breakfast. We were late. I don’t know why every time I’m on trips, the room I’m in always ends up being late. (Solid youth camp people, watch out.).

Alarms, morning calls from hotels and other people waking us up just won’t work.


2. Cable car. SCARY! And it doesn’t help that Ji Wan kept reminding me that the hinges of the cable car were rusted. gah!
HOWEVER, top view: wonderful :)

[brian, ji wan, me, weil shern, shiau ling, charis]

Us doing a jump shot on the suspending bridge. It crashed to the bottom and we all died.
NO LAH. the bridge survived our crazy jumps :D

[ a whole lot of us]

[ji wan, mabel, charis, lynn, min yee, jian kai, weil shern, me, shiau ling, wei lian]


3. Geoforest Park. Bat cave. Yeah, nice sights and stuff. We saw eagles and…bats.
Loved sitting on that motor boat thing! :D

[weil shern, me, shiau ling]


4. We had dinner at some Seafood Restaurant.

DAY 3:

1. We were late for breakfast. Checked out of the hotel then straightaway left for the Pearl of the Orient. (Which is, Penang: Food Paradise! :D )

2. Took ferry there. They were showing some movie using pirated dvds. And the ferry was freezing cold!

3. Went to the Toy Factory! No, it was NOT childish! It was more of reminiscing our childhood memories, going:

‘eh!Pokemon!Look at that Pikachu!’

or

‘awww…I loved Barbie Dolls’.

.
with Jack Sparrow ;)

Superman!!!

Monsters Inc.

The washroom :)

Some mummies thingies

4. Went to Batu Feringgi Beach.
Now THIS, is what I’d call a real beach:
Horse riding, banana boats, jet-skis, parachute things, flying Frisbees, screaming kids, you name it :)

Banana boat was funny weh. We’re SUPPOSED to be tipped off the boat at some point right? So there we were, screaming and having the time of our lives, then in the middle of the sea, someone must have fell off, tilting the whole boat, then every.single.one. of us were thrown off. We were in so much shock, then when we resurfaced, instead of the boat man instructing us what to do next, he started scolding us and said that we did that on purpose and if we were to get stung by jelly fish, it’ll serve us right. We must have pissed him off coz he didn’t tilt us overboard anymore, but it was still fun! :)
keep rocking the boat people!

[jian kai, mabel, charis, me, kgai ter, hock eu, yuee sun, yoon leen]

Here we are after getting drenched in the sea water.LOL. I just realised that we look like chickens caught out in the rain.HAHAHAHA!

5. We went to Gurney Drive for food later. Yeah, I went there dripping wet after the banana boat thing.

6. Checked into Red Rock Hotel around 10pm.
And 'lucky' us! We got like the worst room ever. No. 1, you can’t use the main elevator to go to our room, because you’ll end up facing the restaurant there. So you’ll have to use the BACK elevator. Then you’ll end up in some dark place that faces some store, and at the corner, you can see two rooms :268 and 288.

We were in 268, the guys in the other room. So obviously, we were given some worker’s room at the back of the restaurant kitchen or something. Gah.
Good thing we stayed there only one night.

DAY 4:

1. Breakfast. We were late.
( I should stop writing this, we’re ALWAYS late)

2. Checked out of the place.

3. Stopped by shops like chocolate shops, local food products shop, etc.
Took the opportunity to eat all the free sample food there.hee.typical stingy malaysian.

4. Had lunch and cendol at some famous place.

5. Reached school.

6. Then reached home.

The End :)

I miss you guys so much!

I think I can say that 5s7 has made my senior year my best year at high school ever!

Credits to everyone who took photographs, I took a lot of the pictures here from facebook ;)

Langkawi and Penang Part 1: Introduction

I'm home! :)

5s7 class trip was fun all the way!
okay, sure I had some emo times, just ask SuLynn. But that's coz I was sleepy from staying up late! anyway, I got scolded from my friends whenever I sleep or become too quiet, so you can see that I was practically made to have fun there :D

Thank you all you lovely people who organised the trip. You guys rawk.

Thank you Yuee Sun for the laptop for our entertainment at night. The video about reverse bungee jumping had me in stiches :)

Thank you to my roomies. I certainly got crazy with you guys in the room: Su Lynn, Min Yee, Charis, Hui Shan, Shiau Ling. I'll miss our screaming with each other for the bathroom.LOL

Thank you Lim Jia Xin for being my angel. Thanks for being my, erhem, maid at the bbq and for the chocolates.

Thank you all who were present. Your jokes and entertainment and the fun we had will be cherished forever :D

I miss you guys already.

btw, pictures to come :)

Langkawi :)

Yessssss.

i am in langkawi now :D and am still wide awake.

Honestly, i'm starting to stay up till 4 and catching up on sleep at around 12pm.

Cable car was scary.

and i'll blog when i get back.this laptop's letter 'i' on the keyboard doesn't work.

good night!

Something I read on MLIA

Today, me and my best friend made a pact, that on each of our weddings, we'd stand up, say: I'd like to make a toast, take out a toaster, put it on the table, wait for the toast to pop up, and sit down casually. I can't wait.

HAHAHAHAH :D
We gotta try that sometime!

I'm so busy I've got nothing to do

Have you ever walked into your bedroom, and suddenly your eyes just OPENED, and you realized that your bedroom could be equated to a pig sty?

This afternoon when I walked into my room, I suddenly noticed that there were clothes strewn everywhere, both clean and dirty, my dressing table was messed up with hair clips and earrings and chains all over, and my bed was crowded with books and bags and clothes. To cross from one side of the room to the other, I had to step over bags and shoes and muffins.

YES, muffins.

And that moment I looked around, I just felt that I really,

really,

really,

REALLY,

right at the moment,

I just needed to…

(no, not start spring cleaning now. Because firstly, I’m way too lazy, and it’s not even spring! It should be winter now, because it’s Christmas….but, I digress.)

I just needed to...

SLEEP.

Yeah, sleep. I just jumped onto my bed, where I could find a place free of the mess, and shut my eyes away from the world, knowing that I have a huge task ahead of me: To clear up my room.

And so my ‘just 5 minutes shut-eye’ turned into a 2 hour nap.

And then! I cleared up my room :) it’s not so drastic though, didn’t involve kain buruks and sprays. It was basically putting everything back where they belong.

So now I can proudly announce that my room is neat! :D

(at least, it’s presentable xD)

note:

I don’t even know why I’m telling the world this. I think my brain’s still not properly functioning after last night’s lack of sleep.gah.

Lalalalala

Yesterday’s caroling.

Hmmmm…sure brought back loads of memories.

The kids now are still using the EXACT same white skirt that we use to wear when we went caroling.

And I think I can safely say that the last time I went caroling, I was still in kindergarten, so the skirt has lasted for…at least 10 years.

Traditions die hard indeed.

Okay first house:

So cool! They gave us all random wrapped up gifts so everyone got different stuff.

And I think the award for the person who got the 'best' gift goes to ….Marck Chuah!

HAHAHAHA!

His present was the weirdest of all. Let’s just say that it’s not exactly something you give to people for Christmas :P

(solidyouth people *wink wink*)

We stuffed ourselves with food the whole night. Altogether, it was a pretty fun night out :)

Also read:

The Sleepover at Michelle's

The rest we all need

Location: Legend Water Chalets, Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan.

If you and your family are planning a day away from the hustle and bustle of life, seriously, go to this hotel :)
(gosh, I sound like some sales promoter promoting this place now)

It's so cute, that the first thing you step into when you enter the room is: THE BATHROOM :D




But we didn't plan to stay there for more than a night, because, there was basically nothing much to do there.
It's the authentic HOLIDAY, as in really relaxing.

And the sign at the pool really made me laugh weh.
It says 'Not Allowed At the Pool : SAREE'

Lol. Come on lar, who in their right mind would go into a pool, wearing a saree for crying out loud XD

The rest, basically the same ol' same ol' Port Dickson stuff :)

AHHHHHHH!

SPM is overrr! SPM is OVER. SPM is over.

I can almost not believe it.

For so many years, SPM has always been the big kid’s exam. Like once you take it, you’re out of high school. Wait, you’re out of SCHOOL. Period.

And then you're step out into the real world.

And now, I’m the big kid here. The one who took and survived SPM 2009. wow.

I can now join the gang that says

“ SPM was a piece of cake!”

…like how we always say that PMR and UPSR was soooooo easy. xD

Well, all I can say is I'm happy with what I've done.I did my very best already. :)

Like for Sejarah, I definitely studied the hardest for SPM compared with the rest of the year.

Then for BM, I used all the Puan Phang power that I have (eg: peribahasas, penanda wacanas, and more peribahasas) to write my karangan.

But the main thing is,

IT'S FINALLY OVER! YAYYYY :D

...and I finally did it :)

Guard Pondok

Aim: To step into the guard pondok before I leave high school.

Hypothesis: I will manage to step into the guard pondok.

Materials and Apparatus: Guts. And a pinch of stupidity.

Procedure:

1) Prepare what to say to guards before stepping into the pondok. Get suggestions from friends if necessary.

Suggestions:

1. Su Lynn: “Ada anjing di sekolah ini tak?”
2. Mei Yih: “HI!! :D”
3. Shiau Ling: “Today is my last day of high school”
4. My own idea: “Sekolah ini ada berapa kucing?”

2) Walk into guard pondok after school

Results:

1. I went into was pushed into the guard pondok by my friends, narrowly missing some stooopid cat sleeping inside.

2. I stared at the guard

3. He stared at me.

4. Then I said, “err..saya nak tengok ada apa dalam pondok ni.”

Guard: “Ada apa?”

Then I looked around and the other guard was smiling at me like I’m some idiotic school student being a jakoon. Which I probably was.

Me: “err…okay” (then stepping out of the pondok)

Conclusion: I did manage to go into the guard pondok! Hypothesis accepted :)
