Alone - Jess Moskaluke & Jake CoCo *Alone* + D



I hear the tickin' of the clock
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
And I wonder where you are tonight
There's no answer on the telephone

And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end so
Alone

Till now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone?
How do I get you alone?

You don't know how long I have wanted
To touch your lips and hold you tight, oh
You don't know how long I have waited
And I was going to tell you tonight

But the secret is still my own
And my love for you is still unknown
Alone

Ohh

Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone?
How do I get you alone?

How do I get you alone?
How do I get you alone?
Alone, alone

~27/07/2012~

Today's million-dollar question: What is the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you?

* * *

Ola :)

Okay, I have no friggin' idea as to why I didn't go to school today. Apparently, what I told my mom - when I was half asleep - was that I was tired.

I know. What kind of lame-ass excuse is that?? My sister said it made sense, though, because I only slept at 11:30p.m the night before even after my doctor said the upped dosage of my medicine would make me need more sleep.

So yeah, I didn't go to school.

At 8:21a.m, my mom came in again to wake my sister and I up. Obviously, my sister continued sleeping whilst I got up first to feed the dogs. I also had to mop the floor and clean Pepper's cage.

Right, so this is what happened: Pepper was still in the cage and she had done her business the night before. So, when she saw me, she stepped ALL over it.

Naturally, I had to do something. So, I let her out of her cage - all the while making sure she did not jump on me. After successfully grabbing her from behind, I proceeded to wash her legs.

Unfortunately, after doing so, I went on ahead to feed them. AND, since she was a pup, Pepper's been accustomed to run into her cage while she eats (it's kind of a habit she developed), so that's what she did when I picked her bowl up.

ALL over her shit, AGAIN.

It's not like I didn't close the door either. She nudged the cage door open and went inside like she purposefully barged in to trample over her droppings.

-.-

Yeah, I washed her paws again. This time, though, I made absolutely sure to lock her cage so she wouldn't do anything stupid like that again.

It was hell cleaning Pepper's cage and the tray underneath it did not make it any more pleasant.

Bleghh~ T'was a pain to hose the shit off her cage too, and an even bigger pain to hose it from the drains. I literally don't dare breathe whenever I have to deal with their shit.

O.O

When I finally got that scratched off my non-existent list, I washed the floor with the retarded brush thingy. Pepper was so bloody annoying because she kept jumping in the way and getting herself wet.

She was so adorable, though.

However, in the end, I couldn't take it anymore so I grabbed her and dropped her onto the steel table where she stayed for the rest of the time I was cleaning the floor.

Went back up to my sister's room after that. Woke her up then went to my parents' room to wake my dad up. He was already in the washroom, so I made my way back to my sister's room to get her up.

Changed my bandage when I came down to the living room. It's got the picture of a penguin now! And it looks so cute!! Mwahaha.

When my dad finally came down after another half hour, we went to the restaurant next to the office for breakfast. We had not gone there for a really long time so it had a nice nostalgic atmosphere. Ate half-boiled eggs with my sister and drank iced Milo.

Following breakfast, my sister and I came back and she bathed while I finished watching the third episode of Sword Art Online. Watched the first bit of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull before my sister found me and demanded that I go bathe.

After all that, we jumped into the Naza - driven by our dad - and went to Marco Polo for lunch. It was largely satisfying, especially the sesame ball and salad prawn. Heehee.

Parted with Mom - who still had unfinished business - and got on with cleaning Snuffly's indigestion vomit while my sister hung the second batch of clothes.

Post cleaning all that, I finished watching Indiana Jones. My brother was watching the latest episode of Suits, and my sister was watching Pets 101 whilst folding our clothes.

After about a few hours, at 5p.m, my sister and I sent my brother to MCKL where he was having his Midsummer Masquerade thingymajingy. Lounged in the car for 20 minutes before my brother got off. Got stuck in a jam on the way back because traffic's a bitch nowadays and class got postponed to next Tuesday.

Upon reaching our house, my sister and I discussed dinner plans with my dad - after she watched the last episode of Inuyasha Kanketsu-Hen as well as a quarter of the first episode of Lovely Complex (because I forced her to). We then left for the hawker stall opposite our house.

Marmite chicken, vegetables and egg infused with minced chicken. Perfect for a party of three.

Went straight to the office after that to accompany my sister. After a rather embarrassing episode with a student's parent - it had something to do with my not knowing where the hell they put the toilet paper - I continued drafting my blog post for the 27th.

Ooh, by the way, I wasn't selected for National Service!! Not that being selected would mean I had to go anyway, since my "condition" would prevent such a catastrophe from happening.

Stupid reason, but what the heck, right?

I'm predicting that I'll go back home, force my sister to watch more episodes of Lovely Complex again, watch the downloaded episodes of CSI: Miami, then go to sleep after updating my blog :)

That's about it, then. CIAO!!

Today's million-dollar question: If the disease you have is genetic, is it bad to think of not having children?

* * *

Ola :)

Did not go to school today.

Why?

Quoting my brother: I shall not answer that question on grounds that I don't want to.

- Under the influence of Suits' Harvey Specter.

Breakfast was at a hawker's stall opposite my house, and only AFTER I walked Pepper once, alone, around the area then the second time with Snuffly and my sister - who walked Pepper.

We also mopped the dining room area before all that shit O.O

Life is hard without a maid.

-.-

After breakfast, I came back and went upstairs to watch my sister bid for modules before going to bathe. When I finished bathing, my sister bathed whilst I waited for her downstairs.

Soon after, we left for Tesco.

Why?

Quoting my -

- No, I'm joking. I'll tell you why. We needed to get ingredients for today's dinner, which was homemade spaghetti. It only sounds delicious. It takes a whole lot of time and involved a whole load of shit.

Not real shit but argh... you get it.

Tried Cravings today! Ordered a chicken chop thingy while my sister ordered a sandwich. After eating half of each, we - as usual - switched dishes.

Finally managed to persuade my sister to sign up for the Tesco card today. Mwahaha.

After buying a lunch meal for my aunt to go, my sister and I went home, where I got bitten by Pepper.

It isn't what it sounds like. I was trying to get something out of her mouth but she obviously didn't want to let go. So she bit my finger in the process.

Just so you know, it was hard to write or do anything with my right hand after that. To make things so much better, I had to help my sister with dinner. And after THAT, I had tuition with my BM teacher.

O.O

Dinner preparations took longer than my sister and I expected, but I still managed to eat a bowl of our finished product before having class.

Which was torture, by the way, because my eyes kept closing little by little. Teacher left a wee bit earlier because fasting made her a bit woozy too.

Mom didn't allow me a second helping of spaghetti so I'm in here, drafting my blog posts yet again. Unfortunately, I can't remember what happened on the 24th, so I'll leave that out, 'kay?

CIAO!!

Today's million-dollar question: When do you actually know the person next to you?

*          *          *

Ola :)

Did not go to school today. The reason would be that I was going to see the doctor at ANOC again. At first, my mom just called to ask if the fact that the brand of my medicine was different could have caused Saturday's seizure -

Which, if I may add, was highly likely to have been the cause because the Lamotrix brand of lamotrigine that I bought from the local pharmacy was, in fact, a generic.

(For those of you who have limited knowledge regarding pharmaceutical terms, 'generic' means 'fake'.)

- but after more thinking, we decided to see the doctor because my headaches weren't getting better.

Upon reaching ANOC, at around 1000 hours (or was it 1100 hours?), we waited outside in the waiting area. They were playing the second installment of the Lion King series on the plasma TV hanging from the corner of the ceiling so I just watched that.

That reminds me: I was supposed to sync "Love Will Find a Way" into my iPad -.-

Nevermind.

When it was finally my turn, they were playing the last sequel of Lion King: Hakuna Matata. It was so cute.

Anyways, the doctor said she was almost absolutely certain I did not suffer any concussions. She mentioned that most internal bleedings of the head were results from car accidents.

O.O

She did, however, say that if I started vomitting or walking funny, I'd better go and see her again.

RM250 later, we crossed over to the Bangsar Shopping Complex and had lunch at Monte's. I know, fancy, right? I had quite a nice dish - mushroom chicken and something. Ordered nachos for appetizers too. Mom was feeling super generous.

Our starters were delicious and consisted of foccasia bread with butter. Oh dang, they were awesome.

:P

When we returned, I remember doing something before suddenly deciding to watch a movie. We - my sister and I - were initially supposed to go to Mid Valley to get Snuffly's Probiotics but then my parents had a change of heart and told us to go on Sunday instead. So, in exchange, I bought movie tickets to watch at 1Shamelin.

I know. Not the most fantastic place to watch a movie, but they were no longer showing the movie I wanted at Leisure Mall - which was the original plan.

So after fetching my brother from the LRT station, we came back, lazed around, then left to 1Shamelin at 5:45p.m. Reached at around 6p.m and proceeded into the labyrinth we call 1Shamelin. I think we took wrong turns many occasions that evening.

I'll leave the movie comments to a movie review, by the way.

Ate dinner with the family after returning from 1Shamelin (which took some time) at Pappa Rich. We're frequenting that joint a lot, aren't we?

Had my vegetarian mutton nasi lemak dish and Milo dinosaur whilst being my best friend's confidante. I had some help from my sister with regards to how I phrased my replies, but I'm ultimately proud of this one reply I conjured from the spaces in my heart:

I know you've talked for years. I know you've talked about everything under the sun. But the years you spent talking don't warrant your knowledge of each other.

Not to blog my own horn, but even my sister admitted it was genius.

And I DO want the best for my friend.

Funny thing is, I can't remember what happened when I came back. Oh, now I do. I watched the last quarter of CSI: NY and one full episode of CSI: Miami then slept.

That's about it, then. CIAO!!

~23/07/2012~

Today's million-dollar question: When are you considered close to your family?

* * *

Ola :)

Woke up at 10:20a.m today and only because my aunt made me think my mom was coming to do the honours. I skipped school because I couldn't fall back to sleep after what my sister did the day before.

Got up, brushed my teeth, changed out of my clothes then went to get my spectacles from my sister's room., She was sitting up on her bed by then and questioned me about why I left yesterday. After telling her my side of the story, she relayed her.

Turns out she was trying to switch her computer off but couldn't 'cause of some random shit. When she had finally gotten it to shut down, I was already pissed and on my way back.

Anyways, the two of us then sat outside and wathed the last episode of this Chinese series that my aunt was watching. If not mistaken, the English title is Family Troops. Can't remember.

Had lunch at the vegetarian organic shop. Ordered the set lunch again and shared it with my dad. My mom and sister had their usuals. I got iced cappuccino - same as my sister - whilst my parents had jasmine tea.

After lunch, my sister and I went straight to the office because she wanted to play on the Stagea before we went to cut our hair at Tesco. I went along but sat downstairs, drafting my blog entry for the 22nd. When my dad saw me, he was like: What are you doing?

When I told him, he said, "What do you need to do that for?"

So I answered, "If I don't then I won't remember what happened. You know I had to ask kuku what we ate yesterday, you know?"

Listening to that prompted him to say, "Okay la, write, write."

-.-

When my sister came down and my aunt had completed whatever stuff she wanted to complete, my sister and I went home to get the car. Before we left, howevber, my mom called and asked us to bring the maid along because she wanted to buy a bag before going back.

Upon stepping into the establishment that is Tesco, my sister decided to shop for the maid's stuff first so we did. Unfortunately, there weren't any backpacks for sale so we called our mom to ask if we could get it from Leisure Mall instead. She asked us to call our dad.

Our dad, on the other hand, asked us to dig up whatever we could find at home, instead. Managed to persuage him otherwise but my sister first wanted to go home and change.

Unbeknownst to us, my mom suddenly had a change of heart and asked my maid to take something from the house instead. After that was settled, my sister and I got into the car and drove off to Tesco... again -.-

Both of us cut our hair at Cuttin' Edgz. T'was not too bad, I guess. My sister got her hair semi-treated first before the guy got started on my hair. In the end, I had neck-short hair. I miss my hair already :(

The both of them say my hair looks better now but I don't believe them. I hate the way my hair frames my face now.

Anyways, after we paid the bill, my sister bought Sharetea for the both of us before driving home. We then went upstairs and I continued to update my blog drafts. At 6:20p.m, my sister and I left home to fetch my brother from the LRT station. He drove back home.

My Chem teacher was already at home by the time we reached so I didn't even have time to rest before I was made to absorb info about Daniell cells and carbon electrodes.

O.O

At 8:50p.m, she left and I updated my blog with actual entries. After the post about the 10th, I had dinner with milk. Continued blogging after that.

Should be sleeping soon. My mood swings are getting scarier by the minute. I think it's the medicine, but I'm not a doctor so I can't say for sure. The aches in my head is doing little to help as well.

That's about it, then. CIAO!!

Today’s million-dollar question: How are people born with photographic memory?

* * *

Ola :)

Woke up at 8:30++a.m today. No need to be so surprised; it was because I had tuition at 10 o’clock later. However, since I had set my alarm to ring at 9 o’clock, I slept a little while more before getting up.

Dragged the plastic foldable table out then proceeded to complete whatever unfinished work I had left before tuition started. Drank Enercal for breakfast then lessons commenced when my Chemistry teacher came at 9:50a.m.

Studied the next subtopic in the fourth chapter. Was interesting, to say the least. But I seriously have to make it a point to re-study whatever she taught in previous lessons because I absolutely abhor letting my teachers down.

After she left at 11:50a.m, I used my sister’s iPhone to play her Tap Tap Revenge whilst waiting for 2 o’clock to come. I had another tuition class then, that’s why. Add Maths, this time.

Oh, the things I do to myself.

-.-

Watched my sister ace at Tap Tap for a while then sulked when she left to Tesco without me and with my brother instead. Was ultimately saddened when my teacher messaged me at about 2 something to tell me she had completely forgotten about class today. I could’ve followed them to Tesco :(

Naturally, my sister was surprised to see me not having tuition. To make things worse, she said I was a minute too late with my request for her to buy ShareTea for me 

*Sobs*

After playing with my sister’s iPhone a little longer, my mom came up and reprimanded me for doing so. Apparently, I should not be looking at anything that flashes any form of light in my face.

So I went downstairs.

Curse the couch for being so comfortable. Yes, I slept. Didn’t even realize my parents were out until 6 o’clock came. And even that was because my brother wouldn’t shut up about me sleeping having slept for an eternity.

Bathed then went back downstairs. Memory’s still a bit fuzzy so I’ll jump straight to when my parents came back and we debated on what and where to eat.

In the end, it was Bone & Pot we decided on. I didn’t mind. I loved the fried beancurd stuff.

My parents invited my ex-music teacher too. I didn’t mind that either. The more the merrier, right?

Unfortunately, we had to wait for a table. Eventually, we were seated and then proceeded to ordering our meals. Had an orange juice to drink. Dinner was nice. Talked about all sorts of things before finally settling the bill and going back home.

Once we reached home, I went to change, brush my teeth and gargle my mouth with Listerine before my dad rubbed ointment on my bumps. I then went to my sister’s room and consumed my meds. After that, I drafted my blog entries in my Spell-It-Right notebook. However, before I could finish drafting my post for the 21st, my mom came in and told me to sleep. So I did.

Quite unfortunately, when my sister came in, she switched her computer on so I was plenty pissed because she woke me up in the process. After 5 minutes of that shit, I grabbed my phone, pillow, blanket, bolster and stormed off into my own room. Had to cry myself to sleep.

What annoyed me more was that I had to sleep in certain positions because of the stupid bumps on either sides of my head. Bleghh~

That’s about it, then. CIAO!!

Today's million-dollar question: If 'much' is for uncountables and 'many' is for its counterpart, why do we use 'much' when we're referring to milligrams and others of the like?

* * *

Ola :)

Woke up when my alarm rang. Went to bathe ahead of Sakura, then woke her up. After she changed, we went downstairs and each drank Enercal.

At around 8:00a.m, I went up to wake my brother from his slumber. Left the house at 8:14a.m to the Bandar Tun Razak LRT station. Unfortunately, Jas had not reached yet so to pass time, Sakura and I took a walk around the area.

Jas was still MIA by the time we reached the starting line so we just sat on the bench in front of the condominiums and talked about everything we could think of.

At around 8:52a.m, Jas called me and we met up. Was introduced to another dude our age with the same name as my brother then waited for Kar, who was the last to arrive.

Finally bought our tickets after that. Was pretty annoyed at the fact that they've actually never been to MBS using the LRT and was not even sure about how to get there.

Either way, we reached Sentul safely enough, but the three of them were walking too slowly so Sakura and I went on ahead.

Karma's really a bitch because we kind of got lost, thinking the event was at the MBS school itself. That's how Jas went on in without us and it was such a pain to have to call her because it was so bloody loud inside.

Called Sean, thinking he could help, but he had not seen Jas either. Luckily for us, she came out after answering my call. Got in without needing to pay and found seats for us - Sakura and I - behind.

I guess the event was not too bad. It was definitely better than SBU's. Bleghh~

The food could have been better, though. During the short break in between, Sakura and I got up to go to the toilets and that's when I had it.

Jerks, I mean.

You know, the signs that my seizure is imminent? Yeah, those jerks.

Sakura freaked when I said it but I told her not to panic and do what I told her. When I met Jas outside, I told her the same thing.

Didn't make a difference, though, 'cause I spazzed in the cubicle. Jas and Sakura went ballistic, banging on the door because I was unconscious. When I came to, everything was a blur. I did not know what the frick happened.

Jas and Sakura helped me onto a chair then called my dad. He told them to stay with me whilst he drove over. Bleghh~ I felt like such a baggage.

Sakura was a real darling. She stayed with me the whole time. Didn't fancy the fact that she was messaging *ahem ahem* but oh what the heck. At least she didn't abandon me.

When my dad came, my brother brought my clothes for me to change into then we went home. The first thing I did was plop myself face-down and sleep on the couch.

I pity Sakura for having to put up with me when we were supposed to be having fun. I'd never hated being epileptic so much before.

Woke up at 2-something-close-to-3. Sakura had already eaten her "bungkus"-ed chicken rice so she just accompanied me while I ate. We talked some more then her mother came and she left.

:(

After finishing my rice up, I threw the polystyrene box away and did some other stuff. Yeah, I can't remember. Sue me.

-.-

When my parents came home, I went to change and then we all headed out to Solaris. Dad wanted us to try out all of OT's 'Chef's Recommendations' so I got the spaghetti and chicken cordon bleu. Dad also allowed me to order Overtime Nachos :D

My drink was 7Up. Mwakaka.

Food was surprisingly good. Enjoyed the nachos a lot. The spaghetti could do with more sauuce but it was nice all the same. The cordon bleu was alright too but the nachos were the best thing I ordered.

My mom made me sneak some french fries too my gramps :P My aunt was RIGHT there, by the way. It's just that my grandpa had been doing such a good job maintaining his sugar level that he deserved to splurge.

Haha.

My brother had wanted Tutti Fruitti before returning home but unluckily for him, it had already closed. So we - my brother and I - went back up to where the car was, bade my aunt, uncle and gramps goodbye then got into the car and headed to the airport.

Yes, to get my sister and Jem.

The car ride ssure was long. I felt like I was going to get sick multiple times. After collecting the passengers, we went back home. Jem's parents got him, at our house and I went upstairs. Played with the dogs first, though.

Sister bought a souvenir for me from KK, apparently. A T-shirt. Black. I preferred that one to the white one. Good thing that's the one my mom chose. I took the black one then brought it to my sister's room. Dumped it onto the table.

I remember taking my meds. Everything else after that is pretty much a big blur, sorry. Oh, I remember messaging Sakura and apologising, though. You know, for all that drama? -.-

Went to sleep at around 11 or 12. Mind's fuzzy.

That's about it, then. CIAO!!

~20/07/2012~

Today's million-dollar question: When is it too late to apologise?

* * *

Ola :)

Woke up at 6 something today. Was quite irritated with the maid because she wouldn't stop pushing me -.- Not her fault, but yeah~

Brother sent me to school. Went for morning briefing and talked about the drama competition with the junior librarians. After our Prez gave her speech etc, we headed downstairs.

Morning assembly was tiring, as usual. Sang the national anthem, listened to the announcements, then everybody returned to class.

Our first subject was History so after dumping everything in class, we headeddown to the first floor room with the fancy board... No, wait a minute. My teacher had already finished the syllabus so she came up.

Some drama occurred then because I found a choco muffin wrapper (from the koperasi) in my desk and was pissed. The teacher heard me and started questioning Ju, who sits next to me. I pity her. I thought it was Kas, but apparently it wasn't.

That aside, the teacher then wanted us to use the model-papers book for History but a few people failed to bring theirs so we had to borrow them from other classes.

Borrowed from Danya.

After History, we had BM. Knowing it was KOMSAS today, I brought my Dirgahayu Bahasaku book. Sure enough, we studied the Dato' Onn drama text today. Couldn't finish it, though, 'cause it was too goddamn long with lots of singing.

During recess, I went to the library because I was on duty today. After cleaning to trolley, I went back to class. The last subject for today was Maths. Three periods of it O.O

Fortunately, the teacher was MIA for the first period and two-thirds of the second. After we were given work, she just did her own work because her whiteboard marker ran out of ink and there weren't any spares in the office.

Hallelujah.

The bell rang at 12:30p.m and I made my way to the library for duty when I saw Sakura. She had been in school since noon O.O

Unfortunately, I still had to complete my duties first so I told her where to find Jas because she wanted to see her. The library closed early today so soon after, we went home.

Sakura and I ate lunch upon arriving at my humble abode. Bathed after that whilst she read John Grisham's The Associate. Brother came down after bathing too and I voiced my desires to get out of the house because there was hardly anything to do at home.

Dad agreed, thankfully, so after changing into my Giordano pants, my brother took the two of us to KLCC. First thing we did was eat because my brother had not eaten lunch. Went to Dome's. Had my usual and iced water.

After that we took the bridge to Pavilion where we bought tickets to watch The Amazing Spiderman. My class was postponed to Sunday so it was possible.

Whilst waiting for 6:45p.m to come (it was 5:59p.m at the time), Sakura and I went to Starbucks. Tried the Hojicha + Tea Jelly. Did not fancy it. Sakura liked it, though. Then, we headed to Chatime because I wanted Sakura to try it - she had never tasted it before. Unfortunately, it was closed for upgrading (to a store on the opposite side).

So instead, we went up to Shimino, where they sold crepes. Sakura and I shared one with choco cake and bananas + ice cream. Sinful, I know. It was nearly impossible to eat it because it was huge and we needed to use a spoon O.O

Finished it soon enough and met up with the brother at the cinema front at 6:30p.m. Bought a regular-sized popcorn and Mister Potato for my brother.

The movie -

I'll leave that to a movie review :P

At home, we (Sakura and I) ate steamed fish then watched Dylan Moran's What It Is after she showered. Slept at 12 something with a resolve to wake up at 7 the next morning O.O

That's about it, then. CIAO!!

Today's million-dollar question: What is the philosophy behind purely theoretical hair?

* * *

Ola :)

Went to school today. Had no choice, since I was part of the 20 SBU-ians who were signed up to be the buddies to the Japanese visitors from Hagikouen Koukou whom we were later expecting.

Woke up late, though. Set the alarm to ring at 5:35a.m but only "realised" it was 6 o'clock when the maid came in. Rushed after that. Dad sent me to school and I ran (oh, shut up) to the canteen where some of the buddies were already waiting.

After a visit to the discipline room and the school office and the discipline room again (to get permission to bring cameras to school), the whole lot of us made our way to the Exhibition Room for our last few rehearsals till the Japanese's arrival.

They came at around 9 something. It was quite nerve-wrecking because while some were cute and smiling, there were a significant number of them frowning and not showing ANY form of facial expression at all (apart from frowning).

Thankfully, my Jap buddy was reasonably friendly. あやーさん is her name. There were boys this time, of course, but I decided against taking the risk. One of the buddies weren't so lucky. She got a small boy who found solace in constantly making it seem like everyone around him suffered from a severe case of malaria.

-.-

That aside, after many photo shots, we proceeded to the Exhibition Room ahead of the Japanese and got ready for their arrival into the room.

When all that had passed and the Japanese were safely inside, we did our routine and watched performances from some SBU students after grabbing our respective buddies. After the zapin, fan, and Indian dances, the Japapanese performed a number before the icebreaking game commenced.

It wasn't too bad, except for the deafening awkward silence when none of us knew how to say a particular phrase about something in Japanese.

Well, I'm sorry anime doesn't cover every aspect of everyday conversation.

Lee me alone -.-

Our next game was Musical Chairs. They played Catch My Breath by Westlife, Nee by Fujita Maiko and Crush On You by Tata Young before life went on -.-

After all that, and another exhausting photo session, it was time for the usual school tour. First stop was the muzium museum where they ventured into the antique and legendary legacy of BBGS, staring at the stuff, having absolutely no fricking idea what they were because we are rubbish translators.

Our next stop was the library. Couldn't remember the word for librarian, again. But argh, nevermind.

We then led our buddies down to the judo dojo where the SBU students were left to stand outside and rot into nothing whilst our visitors and teachers enjoyed the fantastic invention we dubbed "chairs" and watched the judo people kick each others' butts for their entertainment.

Our next place of interest was the chess corner, where the Head Boy devastated Laili, our most professional Japanese speaker, by using extravagant words he himself couldn't understand because he was too busy going "What the frick did I just say?!"

The school's best chess player played against two of the Japanese students simultaneously. Obviously, he won. There was pity for Laili's buddy, whom I call Mr Harry Potter because of the uncanny resemblance (back when Daniel Radcliffe was still cute, though :P), because it was obvious he was an amateur (who only knew as far as the rules) and he was trembling.

My heart went out to him. Sorry, I'm a sucker for tearjerking moments in life, so...

:)

After the chess stuff, we went to the Multipurpose Room for the traditional game introduction of congkak. Played for about 5 minutes before we left next door to the Teachers' Lounge for lunch.

Handed out tissues for everybody and therefore did not get any food because there wasn't enough. Obviously, we live in a time where goodness is rewarded with a big punch in the stomach and a hard slap across the face.

-.-

It was soon time for the souvenir-exchanging ceremony. Special thanks to my darling sister for buying the pineapple cake for my buddy. I received a fan in return.

They left quite soon after that. Of course, first we had to exhaust them with more photo session requests. We had to stay in our positions so long that I swear the sides of my mouth were bleeding.

Even AFTER they left, we were taking photos. I'd never posed for a picture so many times before during a school event. Oh God~ -.-

Went to Dellie's house at 2 o'clock and had lunch. The original plan was McD's but they were gonna be at least 2 hours late due to technical problems. Had Dellie's food instead. Felt plenty bad, just so you know.

Went home at 3 o'clock, straight to the Jalan Tun Razak LRT station to fetch my brother. Slept on the way home. Bathed after that, played Tap Tap Revenge (and many other Tap Tap's) then ate dinner. Chemistry tuition was at 6:40p.m until 8:40p.m.

Played more Tap Tap then spent the rest of my time watching, or rather listening, to Dylan Moran whilst writing my blog entries in my Spell-It-Right notebook before transferring 'em onto my blog itself.

That's about it, then. Currently 12:03a.m. Gotta sleep now :)

Today's million-dollar question: What do you call a person who comments after initially saying he/she will not?

* * *

Ola :)

Woke up at Lord-knows-what-time and reached school at about the time I usually do. After the assembly ended, Kanga, Dellie, Chucky and I waited for our teacher at the gazebo. The rest had wanted to come along, but after a long debate, they gave up. Chucky was lucky because she was already at the gazebo when the teacher came along so she didn't get "halau"-ed.

We then jumped into the teacher's metallic blue Alza and went off.

The competition had already started when we arrived so we sat in and watched. The teacher who came with us sat outside to grade exam papers whilst we did so.

Had lunch at the cafeteria sometime around 11a.m, or was it 12? -.- Anyways, in that time before the judges made their decision, we watched performances from Alam Shah, VI and other schools.

Sorry to say we did not win. VI snagged the title of Champion for state level whilst CBN got 2nd and Alam Shah got third. We did not see CBN's performance but it must have been pretty good because Alam Shah's was nothing short of a good performance.

VI deserved to win. They were great. Suspense, punchline, and a bit - just the right amount - of humour, it was all there. I definitely enjoyed it.

After the ceremony and shit, we came back to school and went back home. I think I went home earlier too. Shifted Chemistry class to the next day then chilled the rest of it. Still studied a bit first, though.

Slept at... Bleghh~ Can't remember that either.

Today's million-dollar question: Why do people get cold feet?

* * *

Ola :)

This was it. This was the day.

Reached school at around 6:45a.m after getting dressed and packing my bag. It wasn't easy, okay? I kept telling myself I must've forgotten something and only left the house when I couldn't think of anything else.

Waited at the gazebo for the rest. When everyone had assembled, I told them about the music timing. After explaining again, again and again to all of them, we finally got on the bus and left.

At the library auditorium (which Kanga and I had seen the day before with the teacher and our lighting and props manager), we waited for a while before deciding to eat breakfast at the cafeteria downstairs. Had rice and egg with veggie and a bit of sauce as well as iced Milo. Milo was too sweet.

Watched the performances after that. First one wasn't too good. Language wouldn't have been able to help them. Props failed them halfway and story was a bit too farfetched and illogical.

The next few were alright. The one about nosy neighbours was good, funny and the moral story behind it had a point, but I knew they wouldn't snag Champion because they used the Malaysian slang - la, ma, wan and so on.

When it came to us (we were the fourth), my heart felt like it would burst any second. The adrenaline was overpowering. Fortunately, they did pretty well anyway. There was a slight glitch in the music but all in all it was alright. Time was just right, too.

After our turn, we stayed for about a few more performances (and lunch) before returning to the school. For some reason, I can't remember what time I came home -.- Cancelled Physics class, that much I remember, but I can't remember what I did for the rest of the day.

Did I even have dinner? -.-

O.O

Today's million-dollar question: How do teachers get their qualifications?

* * *

Ola :)

I'm guessing and assuming that I woke up at around 6a.m again today. After getting dressed, I woke my brother up then went to school.

I'm going to skip talking about morning briefing because honestly, I can't remember what the frick we talked about.

Let's start from the classroom, then?

First subject was History, so my teacher finished the syllabus in that time. This one girl - which I can't stand, by the way - had a genuine bimbo moment today regarding cats and their whiskers.

Why am I NOT surprised that she's so duh?

For BM, on the other hand, I spent the whole two periods in the Teachers' Lounge because of the Japanese buddy thing we needed to discuss.

At 10 o'clock, the drama people went to the Star Studio to practice. Felt annoyed with Puan P because it felt like she did not know English AT ALL. Edits made little - if not no - sense and I could seriously feel myself fuming.

Practiced Think About It and found out that the lead actress sings out of tune. Fantastic, right? -.- Gotta ask sister to help pre-record. After rehearsing three times, I had to go back home because my sister refused to let me stay back.

Unfortunately, our original plans got cancelled. After finishing my sandwiches, my siblings and I went to Pavilion to shop for formal attire for my brother to wear to his masquerade ball (or something like that). Went to The Executive, Massimo Dutti, Jaspal and others until we finally settled for Damachi stuff. Had Gelatomio and Chatime then went home.

Used iPad after dinner. Arcana Famiglia is so cute. I love the blondie. The blue-haired one caught my eye too but I have a funny feeling the main character will end up with the blondie. Can't say for sure, though.

Campione! is quite interesting too.

Blogged about a variety of things then went upstairs 'cause my mom was making noise. Ate my medicine then went to sleep after updating my diary.

That's about it, then. CIAO!!

~12/07/2012~

Today's million-dollar question: How much of an asshole can a person be?

* * *

Ola :)

Woke up at around 6a.m again, got dressed then left for school after taking my daily morning supplements. Nothing much was said during morning briefing so we went downstairs to the assembly hall, where we sang the national anthem and listened to announcements before going up to class.

First, we had English. Our teacher forced the students to complete the previous essay assignment. If I'm not mistaken, I had already finished it before this so I just discussed the drama competition stuff with the teacher whilst the others sat in their groups and wrote.

Bleghh~ Speaking of drama, one of the members in Saki's group was being such a bitch, refusing to contribute anything to the essay. I hate people like that. If they're going to be so difficult and be an absolute pain in the ass, why don't they just do us all a favour and NOT come to school?

Sheesh~

Our next subject was Add Maths. The teacher came and gave us work but I - and a few others - had to leave soon after because we needed to attend the briefing for the buddy project for the Japanese from Hokkaido.

After recess, I went straight to the Star Studio where Puan Aza was waiting. She wanted to do an icebreaking game to get to know our participants better. Unfortunately, after she started, I got a seizure.

Apparently, I scared a lot of newcomers. Those who had seen me 'breakdancing' before were calm, though. I was brought to the sickbay after I regained consciousness and was laid to rest.

When 2:30p.m came, I went back to the Star Studio and continued practicing for the competition. At 4:30p.m, we packed and headed for home.

Followed my sister out to the office after bathing. Brought my Chemistry homework to complete whilst listening to my sister play Windscape and Elegy (in which I had to turn pages for her). Dellie sent me the latest script not too long after and after letting my sister read it, we made adjustments then gave our approvals. Went home at 9:45++p.m close to 10p.m. I slept at 12:30a.m but I can't remember why.

P/S: Please click on my Nuffnang ads :) Thanks!!

P/S/S: If anyone who goes to the same school as me reads this, the gap between my jerks and my seizures is normally 2 to 3 minutes, so if I ever mention that I got jerks, make sure I lie still within the next 2 to 3 minutes? Thanks!!

~11/07/2012~

Today's million-dollar question: How much shit can an average person take?

* * *

Ola :)

Woke up at around 6a.m today. Now that I sleep in my sister's room and set my alarm to ring at 5:45a.m, it's getting easier and easier to wake up.

Either way, I got up, got dressed, then bugged my brother to send me to school. There was nothing much to be said during morning briefing so we went downstairs soon after. As per usual, during our assembly, we sang the national anthem then listened to announcements before going up to our respective classes.

The first subject for the Gamma-ians was Physics so we went down to the 2nd floor Physics lab where we learnt lessons 47 and 48. We then did some Objective questions before it was time for History.

Went to the first floor multimedia room where our teacher resumed chapter 9. We then watched a short clip in the Powerpoint slides. T'was very funny.

Spent recess in the Multipurpose Room, watching the choral speaking peeps practice whilst editing the script. I really like the choral speaking script save that one part in the introduction where they say "kaleidicultural". I hated the way they said it. Don't ask why 'cause I don't know.

After recess, I had to go to the Star Studio for drama practice because the choral speakers needed the Multipurpose Room for themselves. So, after taking my stuff and telling Puan Shad to inform other drama peeps to go to the Star Studio, I left to the studio myself.

Bleghh~ Loads of drama happened after that involving Puan Prema, me, my main actors and the script. Had to bite my tongue to hold the tears. Not that I was afaid of them to fall, but I didn't know what I might have said if they did.

In the end, my main actors swapped with more senior students and the script was expanded because there weren't enough minutes in the whole goddamn thing.

Not to mention the teacher wasn't satisfied with certain things in the script.

Went home at 4:30p.m. There was no tuition today and the adults went out to make my aunt happy. Spent the rest of my time awake editing the script with Dellie's help, over the net. My sister was watching TV whilst I used her laptop.

Slept at 12 something, if I'm not mistaken :) Not the smartest thing in the world to do, but I had to finish the script before I slept, so... :)

That's about it, then. CIAO!!

Today's million-dollar question: What's life without a little bit of drama?

* * *

Ola :)

Didn't go to school for the first half of it because they had some retarded senamrobik thing. Woke up at 8:30a.m but only got up to bathe at 8:50++a.m close to 9a.m.

Had breakfast at a mamak place near Methodist College with the family-minus-aunt. Brother left first to college whilst I was dropped off at school where I TRIED to find Miss N but failed. Was ultra pissed when the ping pong group used the Multipurpose Room because then I had no place for drama practice.

Decided to call Dellie and tell her not to come. She asked me to go over to her place to do props with Ah Wen. I agreed and we met up outside the school. Got so paranoid because a patrol car actually drove past. I thought he was going to apprehend me.

O.O

After buying the necessary stuff, we went ahead to try stuffing the polystyrene boards in the car but couldn't get it in. Didn't help that the bastard blocking us was making noise. Dellie's mom actually yelled back at him.

Either way, since we could not get the stuff to fit into the car, Dellie, Ah Wen and I walked back to her house.

At 1:50p.m, we went back to school. Everyone was only gathering at 3p.m, so the three of us went to Pappa Rich for lunch. Had the usual N10 but no drink.

Reached school att 3:18p.m. Late. Couldn't find the meeting place too, 'cause the Interact Club used the Multipurpose Room. Moved to the amphitheatre and timed the drama, which came up to approximately 12 minutes. I could afford to add some other stuff.

Went home at 4p.m and got mad because my sister could have gotten me at 4:30p.m but did not because of my brother. Went to al-Shifa instead. Ate chicken and drank Milo. After that, we went home and bathed then slept for a while before my Physics teacher came and we had class.

Hmm... I think I could do with a different teacher. For one, he says that he can't see when it gets dark (whether or not I turn on the lights). How the hell am I supposed to deal with that? I can't have lessons in the morning because I have school. He has to teach at INTI.

Plus, he didn't even want a F5 student. The stupid agent misled him, saying I was F4. So, technically, he doesn't even want to teach me.

Ugh~

Anyways, class was from 6:25p.m to 7:55p.m. Ate dinner with gramps then went out to the office to discuss the script stuff with my sister. After that, I completed my diary.

That's about it, then :) CIAO!!

Today's million-dollar question: If you're so sick of us, why don't you quit?

* * *

Ola :)

Woke up at 6 o'clock today and went to school. Can't remember what happened during morning briefing but I remember being irritated with our principal because she was making it compulsory for us to jot down notes whilst the teachers were delivering the announcements.

Woman, we're not as old as you. Our memories might not be perfect, but they're good enough. We don't need you to tell us what we need to do so we don't forget stuff.

Maybe you do, but don't group yourself with us.

Anyways, our first subject was English. I finally finished the essay, with help from Jus and Josh. I was surprised they helped, but I'm very grateful. At least they helped. The others just went around talking to their friends.

Screw them. I'm not taking their SPM for them. By all means, get bad grades: that way, the graph will work to my favour.

:P

Joking, joking.

Our Add Maths teacher failed to make an appearance so our history teacher stood in and gave us a quiz. Was fun, to say the least.

For recess, I had the KFC nuggets from the SIR challenge the previous day. KFC had sponsored our food and Dellie helped take it for me because I had to leave for the buffet dinner.

Thanks, Dellie.

After that, I went to see Puan Nurul.

Physics was at 10:30a.m and after that, we had Biology. The teacher was very 'ngok' today because the students weren't listening again, as usual. I hate it when that happens. I came to study Bio, not listen to the teacher complain about how noisy the damned class is every lesson.

After Bio was another hour and 20 minutes of Physics so I went to see Pn Nurul again to ask about our permission to do the drama stuff during P&P.

When the permission slips were distributed and the participants gathered, I ran through the scripts with them again.

Went back home at 4:30p.m and had Chemistry tuition with Miss Vila. I forgot her classes were on Monday O.O Not to mention it was for two hours. My brains could've fried. Seriously.

At 9:30p.m, I had dinner then watched Beethoven's 2nd on my iPad. My God, it's so cute!! Gina, from Castle (who is his book agent) is one of the actresses in that installation.

Haha.

Funny.

But I hated her there. So annoying. And bitchy -.-

After the movie, I went to search for a few anime pictures to use as my iPad background wallpapers then went to sleep :)

That's about it, then. CIAO!!

Today's million-dollar question: Have you ever regretted something so much?

* * *

Ola :)

I have.

Woke up at 8:30a.m to read the dictionary for some tricky words that might come out. Got a list of common but funny-spelt word lists from the Internet too like gonorrhea and others of the like.

Bathed at 9:45a.m and left the house at 10:20a.m++ to Dellie's house. We were going to Times Square together :) But first: BREAKFAST!!

Had it at Taman Maluri. Awesome chicken rice. Seriously. Thanks, Dellie and family :)

Had iced milo too!! O.O

Reached Times Square at about 12 something so we watched the SIR competition for the junior category first, since it started at 11. And all the while, Dellie and I were looking at each other going "Shit, shit, shit, I didn't know how to spell that" and "Me neither!"

-.-

So we went to Starbucks to study some more.

After 3, our turn came. Mine was a big disappointment. Was planning to make myself look stupid so they wouldn't give me a hard word. And they didn't. It was "fledgling". How the HELL could I possibly get that wrong?

But apparently, they heard me spell out an "I" somewhere between "G" and "L" so I was disqualified. Didn't appreciate that woman going "Excuse me, there's such a word as 'pardon'." either.

Yeah, I know that, bitch. I'm not the one with ears shoved up her ass.

But what's the point of defending myself now? It's already too late. Can't turn back time.

So, at around 6:15p.m, my family came to fetch me and we all went to the Renaissance Hotel where we had a buffet dinner at TEMPTs. Dessert spread was to die for. Sushi, salad, oysters, prawns. Prawns were awesome. Marshmallows + chocolate fountain choc? Delicious.

Went home at 9 something after dinner. Sang "Not Enough" with sister until 12a.m then slept :)

That's about it, then. CIAO!!

Today's million-dollar question: Where did words come from?

*          *          *

Ola :)

Spent the morning watching movies with the sister today :) If I remember correctly, Beethoven was one of them. She wasn't keen on letting me watched the second installment of the movie, but in the end, I did anyway.

Can't for the life of me remember what I had for lunch, so I'll just leave that part out.

At around 5, I bathed to get ready for dinner out. When Mom returned home from the office, the whole family went to Paradigm Mall at Kelana Jaya.

You know, that new shopping mall that just recently opened?

Yeah~

Dinner was at Kung Fu Paradise on ht the 1st floor. We were supposed to go to the xiao long bao place but we would have to wait at least 35 minutes before we were seated. No way were we watc waiting that long.

Had cheese baked rice with fish fillet and chicken chop. It wasn't my first choice (I had quite a lot of those, truthfully), but I settled for it in the end because it was my sister's choice - I asked her to pick between two dishes. Fate was decided.

It was nice, though. Huge-ass. Shared passionfruit iced tea with aunt. Shared iced milk tea with sister. Both were nice too.

Yes, I had two drinks. Peace out, suckers~

-.-

Finished dinner w at 9 something. Stayed till about 9 something close to 10 then went on a road trip because Dad got lost. It was hilarious because my mom and him were fighting about which way to go.

Mwakaka.

Upon reaching our humble abode, I downloaded Akeelah and the Bee because I took part in the NST Spell-It-Right challenge and wanted to be prepared.

Which explains why I went to sleep only at 2:45++. I only finished watching it then.

That's about it for the 7th. CIAO!!

~04/07/2012~

Today's million-dollar question: What is the language of love?

*          *          *

Ola :)

Woke up at 7:58a.m. Was supposed to wake up an hour ago, but I didn't because I was too tired. My sister woke up earlier to send my brother to college, though.

That aside, after that, I bathed, got dressed then got into the car. We, my parents, sister and I, then went to get my grandpa from Sunway Hospital, where he was being checked-up on. My aunt joined us for breakfast at 9:42a.m. That was at Restoran Ming Tien.

Had char siew meen and iced Milo. Yumm~

I swear, those are my staples for breakfast :P

After that, my whole family - that was in the car - went to that Menara BDRB place. Mom and I got off the front entrance and proceeded to the 2nd floor where ANOC was.

Yes, you probably would've guessed by now that I was going to see my doctor. I had only just recently gotten a seizure so we were going to see her for it.

The doctor saw me at around 11:30a.m. Suddenly, everything came out. The truth, that is, that there was no medicine intake. Fantastic. Felt pathetic. Was embarrassing too because a few tears bounced off my cheeks like cannon balls.

Bleghh~

But I did know it would see the light of day eventually. All I had to do was wait.

Mostly it was the pressure from needing to get good grades. The medicine made me sleepy half of the time I was in school so I thought that not taking it would let me have better control over my eyelids during school hours.

Despite the fact that I came clean with the thingymajingy, the nurse still insisted on withdrawing my blood for a med-level test, to check if I was taking my meds or not. She was very nice about it :)

After she withdrew my blood, we went back home and had chicken curry for lunch. At around 3, my sister and I went to Claris where she played Yoshihiro Andoh's works - namely YES! and AYURA - whilst I blogged.

At 4:10p.m, my sister got my grandpa into the car then fetched me in front of Public Bank before fetching my brother from MCKL. Upon returning, I started messaging my friends about tomorrow. Checked my FB because I had Ed Board work.

Had chicken curry + bread + mee hoon for dinner. Listened to more Dylan Moran. Screw him for being so insufferably hilarious. Was thinking of sleeping at 11 but I don't think it worked. Haha.

*Pause*

Yeah, it didn't work, because I spent 54 minutes and 57 seconds on the phone with Miss Nina that night just listening to her problems and offering her solutions :)

That's about it, then. CIAO!!

Today's million-dollar question: If less is more, is more is less?

*          *          *

Ola :)

Went to school today and found out that the Vice 1, 2 and Head of Discipline turned in their resignation letters. Which, honestly speaking, I found rather stupid because we were gonna be retiring within the month anyway. But more on that later, eh?

Our first subject was Chemistry. Our class joined with 5 Sc Beta because their teacher was MIA. It wasn't too bad. Sucked not knowing the start of F5 Chapter 3, but at least now I know something O.O

After Chem was Maths but I thought out teacher wasn't gonna come in because she was MIA the first 30 minutes. So, Saki and I went to meet Miss Nina. I wanted to talk about the whole resigning thing, actually - 'cause I'm a naturally nosy person - but there were other teachers present so I didn't. Instead, Saki spoke to her about the choral speakers.

Later, Saki and I went to find Pn Nurul about our drama competition (which she only told me about on the 27th of June). We joined up again - with Dellie - at the Serbaguna Room after recess was over. Discussed the script and the many possible actor/actress candidates.

Okay, I was there until 3 but unfortunately, I can't remember why I stayed for an extra half an hour so I'll just leave it at that. My siblings fetched me today but there was no lunch for me at home so they brought me to Pappa Rich. Thank God I decided on bringing my money - allowance - today. Haha.

Had the usual N10 and ordered Iced Lemon Tea. The latter wasn't too satisfying.

When I returned, I bathed and then got around to typing out the drama script for the 17th/18th July. My sister helped me, thankfully. She read it, commented on it and edited it with me.

If she reads this - and I'm sure she will - thanks for making the script sound a little more down-to-earth than it previously was.

That was pretty much my day. Slept late because I was up fixing the script. After I did so, I sent it to Dellie because she was gonna give it to Pn Nurul.

That's about it, then. CIAO!!

Hiiro no Kakera



Ola :) So here's the review for Hiiro no Kakera. It consists of 13 episodes with the last episode airing on the 24th of June. Technically, this is about a few weeks late. 

Can't blame me, right? What with three seizures in the last month, I couldn't exactly use the computer whenever I wanted.

That aside, this based-on-an-RPG-game story tells the tale of Kasuga Tamaki whom, for some reason, has to live with her grandmother at the Kifumura Village. 

Upon arriving at the village, however, she is attacked by some enraged deities. Ah, but fear not, for she was rescued by her "knight in shining armour" -.-

That is, Onizaki Takuma.

After regaining some of her composure, the both of them make their way to Tamaki's grandmother's house, where, after gaining an audience with her grandma, Tamaki finds out that she is the new Tamayori princess. As the Tamayori princess, she has the duty of protecting the Onikirimaru, which has destructive power and may threaten the safety of the village, from the evil Logos people (who want to use it for some bad purpose).

All she has to do is prevent certain people from stealing what they dubbed 'seals', which consist of the original Tamayori princess' accessories/heirlooms.

Of course, with every shoujo anime, comes a bunch of hot guys who accompany her on her quest to 'save the world'. And these five 'lucky' peeps are Onizaki Takuma, Atori Mahiro, Ohmi Suguru, Komura Yuuichi and Inukai Shinji. All of 'em are from the Shugogo House.

Basically, it's another one of those Fushigi-Yuugi fairytales where a bunch of bishounen have to protect one useless girl.

Trust me, I'm not exaggerating (or, in true blue my-family style: exzazzerating) when I say she's useless. Not only does she not do anything that may benefit her protectors, but when she does find a use for herself, she goes and tires herself out within the next minute and becomes immediately useless again.

Bleghh~

The anime seemed promising in the beginning, but its interest was not sustained throughout the series. I ended watching it till the end not because of its amusing storyline, but because I wanted to know if Takuma and Tamaki ended up an item.

And I was disappointed even in that field.

Sure, there were signs of romance between the two, but not enough to keep me entertained throughout.

-.-

Imagine this: two or three episodes used just to let the audience know that the Tamayori princess has the power to do something to save them but doesn't know how to. To make things worse, her grandma's not doing the world a favour by telling her. Oh, and the Shugogo protectors are always beaten to a pulp whenever they face the Logos.

And then, to piss the Shugogo protectors, Tamaki goes around talking about how she wants to help them and how she'll find a way to save them. Dudette, you couldn't save yourself from one of the five Logos people - you don't have the right to say something like that.

To sum it all up: Unless you like an anime with a crappy storyline, this is not the anime for you :)

ばれちゃった

Today's million-dollar question: What is maturity?

*          *          *

Ola :)

Woke up at 7:58a.m today. Was supposed to wake up an hour ago, but I didn't because I was too tired. My sister woke up earlier to send my brother to college though.

That aside, after that, I bathed, got dressed then got into the car. We - my parents, sister and I - went to the Sunway Hospital to fetch my grandpa. My aunt joined us for breakfast at 9:42a.m at Restoran Ming Tien. Ate char siew meen and drank iced Milo.

After that, my whole family - that was in the car - went to that Menara BRDB place. Mom and I got off at the front entrance and proceeded to the 2nd floor where ANOC was.

The doctor saw me at around 11:30a.m. Suddenly, everything came out. The truth, that is, that there was no medicine intake. Fantastic. Felt absolutely pathetic. Was embarrassing, really. But I knew it would see the light of day eventually.

After the doctor withdrew my blood - which was a funny episode by itself, we went back home and had chicken curry for lunch. At around 3 o'clock, my sister and I went to the office where she played Yoshihiro Andoh works on the Stagea whilst I blogged.

At 4:10p.m, my sister got my grandpa into the car then fetched me in front of Public Bank before we collected my brother from MCKL. Upon returning, I started messaging my friends about today and tomorrow.

Honestly speaking, I'm not thoroughly thrilled about the way people make retarded assumptions. If you're going to make a statement, say it to the right person. Don't blame the wrong people because that's adding a lot of oil into the fire.

Checked my FaceBook later on because I had Ed Board work. I also have some library stuff to think about.

10 interview questions for the Form 4's.

Oh dear~

Had chicken curry + bread + meehoon for dinner. Ice cream for supper. Listened to more Dylan Moran. Screw him for being insufferably hilarious.

Am going to sleep at around 11, I think :P CIAO!!

Today's million-dollar question: Why do people get sudden impulses?

*          *          *

Ola :)

Woke up at 10-something-close-to-11. Threw up in the morning and had a splitting headache so I didn't go to school.

Went to Al-Shifa Maju for brunch.

Came back and bathed. Packed some books to bring to the office then because my sister wanted to use the Stagea. Ended up doing some Physics questions in the office with Dad.

However, soon after, I got a call from my mom asking me to bring the gramps out to the pharmacy, so I returned first. After retrieving grandpa's Co-Q 10 and other medication (plus a blood sugar level test & blood pressure test), we went back home.

Ate ice cream :)

When my sister came back, we brought Ah Kung to Tesco. Bought four cartons of milk and two bottles of soya bean. Then, we went to Watsons because my sister had to get some of her womanly stuff.

She bought me ShareTea and I got a few sausage buns from King's Confectionery (by Mom's orders).

After coming back, I lazed around, then had dinner. Mom wanted her sticker stuff from Lian Hing later so I went to get it with my sister but they weren't done with it yet -.-

Since I had nothing much else to do, I completed my Physics PEKA then filled in my diary with stuff. Slept at about 11 something because I was certain I couldn't skip school the following day.

That's about it, then :) CIAO!!

Today's million-dollar question: Why do people get mood swings?

*          *          *

Ola :)

Woke up at 8:23a.m today and freaked. Not because I thought I'd skipped school - we had Sports Day on Saturday the 23rd so there's no school on Monday - but because we were supposed to go to Al-Shifa Maju for breakfast with my grandpa.

So, after bathing and waking my siblings up, we went for breakfast with Ah Kung.

After that, they dropped me off at school because the Digital and Deco team were meeting up to finish up the Digital board. Unfortunately, only a handful of people could turn up, so there was only so much we could do.

At 1 o'clock, we locked the library up and then went to 1Shamelin for lunch.

Treated Miss Nina to Old Town White Coffee. Was determined to do so after that embarrassing episode in Hang Kei near my school. Excused myself to go to the "toilet", but actually went to settle the bill. She wasn't pleased, but I told her she could treat us some other time.

Bought a Subway 6-inch after that because temptation got the better of me then waited while Dellie ate at Tutti Fruitti. Stayed at her condominium until my brother came with my grandpa.

Upon reaching home, I downloaded and watched the last two episodes of The Legend of Korra Season 1 as well as the last episode of Hiiro no Kakera. I'll be reviewing the latter soon. I'm not sure if there will be a second season, though. Wouldn't recommend the first one.

O.O

Bathed again at around 5:10p.m and got ready for the concert at KLCC by the Queensland Youth Orchestra from Australia. Some MPYO players were taking part too so my sister wanted to watch it. And obviously, she found the intense need to drag me into it.

Oh well, I had Dome's for dinner so... :P

The concert started at 8:30p.m. Not bad, really. Like, duh -.- Got a headache halfway, but yeah~

At 11:10++p.m, we came back. Listened to Dylan Moran's Like, Totally until I fell asleep :)

That's about it, then. CIAO!!

Today's million-dollar question: Is life so sad that we have to smack a smile on our faces even in the presence of people we dislike?

*           *           *

Ola :)

I'll make this really short because my memory's really foggy regarding today. I just know I woke up in time for lunch at 12 something. If I'm not mistaken, it was leftover fried rice.

After that, everything's a blur until we had dinner at Organic Recipe in PJ. I vaguely remember my grandpa being moved to tears because he was so glad we were there.

I kind of understand that feeling, but he has to know he has no reason to feel that way. We're all family and we all love him, so it's a no-brainer that we would celebrate his birthday together.

Of course, I have yet to comprehend the reason that particular bastard was there. Last time I checked, our family dinners consisted of our close relatives/friends. If she's going to be like that, then I don't understand why is it we can't have WQ around when that cockroach has permission.

Bleghh~

It's like family politics. It's disgusting.

Thankfully Fi, our cousin, was there. Made dinner that much more tolerable.

Unfortunately, I can't remember what happened after that, so I'll just leave it here :) CIAO!!

Today's million-dollar question: How do comedians get their material?

*          *          *

Ola :)

Woke up at nine something today. Can't remember what I did that morning, however. It was all a very big blur up until late breakfast. Dad brought the Gramps, brother and I out to McD's for their breakfast since it was still 10 something. Had the Big Breakfast and iced Milo.

Mwahaha.

At 3 o'clock, I had tuition with my Add Maths teacher. I had just informed her about my previous seizure episode in my SMS so she said we could take it easy this lesson.

Studied Permutation and Combination. We were supposed to study my mid-year exam's Paper 2.

Yeah~

Memory's still blurry around 5 o'clock, but I do remember we went to Bukit Jalil for dinner. Didn't fancy the change in menu, but went along with it. It's the company that makes the food good, right? :P

It was too late for the night market by the time we came back. To compensate, my sister and I listened to Dylan Moran until we slept, which was at about 1 something, I think.

That's about it, then. CIAO!!

Today's million-dollar question: Does composure come from experience?

*           *            *

Ola :)

Unfortunately, since it's been a few weeks since this has happened, I cannot provide details. Therefore, I shall keep this short and sweet, 'kay? :P

Woke up at Lord-knows-what-time and went to school. Can't imagine how the librarian morning briefing went, so I'll just get to the assembly. We had the usual silent reading session whilst the Muslims had their Friday morning prayers before we proceeded to our respective classes.

My class went down to the Access Room for History where we started on Chapter 8.

Which reminds me, I still have Chapter 7's notes to complete.

Bleghh~

BM was next. Our teacher finally began discussing our latest literature installment, Konserto Terakhir. A few questions later, our lesson ended and then came recess. I can pretty much guess that I spent those 20 minutes in the library again, as always. I haven't been to the canteen in ages. Good thing too; I don't want to end up taking my friends' food or money to eat/spend anymore.

At 10:30a.m, recess ended and I went back to class.

Maths was our last subject today. We were having three periods of it. That's like... 2 hours O.O

After our teacher gave us work, she left us to complete them whilst she marked her own stuff. That's when I had another seizure -.-

Puan F had had experience with people having seizures before, though, so she was quick to act. She immediately ordered for whoever was beside/behind me to catch me so I did not fall and hit my head. Then, they cleared the tables so I could finish being retarded on the floor. After that, they papah-ed me to the sick bay where I waited until my mom came...

... again -.-

When I returned home, I just slept the whole day because I felt like shit. I only woke up to feed the Probiotics thingymajingy to Snuffly.

That's about it for the 22nd :) CIAO!!

おバカたち

Today's million-dollar question: What do you do when everything falls apart?

*          *          *

Call it quits?

I don't know, honestly.

I can count the months till our retirement using one hand. I understand you're pissed. I understand you're annoyed.

And I understand you can take no more.

But is this really the right way?

I remember you said once that we shouldn't do anything that would later come and bite us in the behind and affect our juniors. For example, boycotting.

You think you're not doing the same thing?

Truth be told, what you're doing is worse. It's going to affect us all. Sooner than boycotting would.

Hasn't it ever occurred to you that we would need people to fill in your positions and take charge? Haven't you thought of the people who would have to do more work now that you've thrown in your towels?

I don't f*cking care if you take it out on her. But don't screw with the rest of us in the process.
