I can't remember a thing.



4:18 AM

Random title. It's actually a song I'm listening to right now.

It's 4am and I can't sleep. I don't know why I can't sleep. I'm kind of sleepy, my eyes are stinging quite a bit, but I just can't seem to shut my eyes and sleep. I have to be in school in four hours for CBN's Orientation Day and I'm supposed to wake up in two hours. I don't care if I don't get enough sleep tonight. I can just hit the sack later in the afternoon or something.

I just feel so detached from my surroundings at the moment and this may last for days. I feel like as if my body is doing things without my realization at all. I guess I'm just having one of those times when I'm in the mood to be by myself and just enjoy the solitude that surrounds me. I don't know if you've had it before, but I have. A lot of times. And still am.

I don't know what to do right now. I'm not in the mood to read and I'm definitely not in the mood to sleep. But then again, I'm sure in a few hours' time there'll be a lot going on in school and I bet it's going to use up all my energy, so maybe I guess I'll at least try to sleep soon. I'm a night owl, heheh.



Hehehehehe. This kinda cheers me up a bit, in a somewhat pathetically sadistic way, whenever I look at it. I made this a few hours ago after dinner cuz I was bored and I felt a bit experimental. So I came up with this! I'm not sure what this picture is supposed to mean but I like how it looks so...meaningless. Just pure randomness. Haha. So, basically I just Googled for a picture with a simple background, which in my case, I searched for a wide grassy field. Then I cropped my photo of the red couch with my head peeking on top and my two sisters' hands on each side, which initially had a white background since we took the photo in a studio, and then I chose a funny picture of a household name cartoon character -- or in my case, Patrick Star -- and I just assembled everything into place. Then I adjusted the brightness and the colour balance and I made some other tweaks to make the whole thing look real and voila! Hehe. Pretty convincing, eh?

And look, it's now at the top of my blog too! Hehehehe.

I feel so much better now, after last night's little scare. I'm just so glad that I chatted with my two best friends online last night and I did follow their advices, which basically just summed up to turn to God when feeling helpless. And I did. I felt so much better after I prayed :)

Last night I dreamed of drinking alcohol. I didn't know what kind of alcohol it was, be it some kind of whiskey or wine or whatever, but I swear I could taste something lemony, or something lime-ish. I don't really know what that dream is supposed to mean so I looked it up. And this is what I got :

"To have consumed alcohol in your dream shows that you have a creative streak that is lost at the moment. Remember what is important to you in your life and stop trying to put up a smoke screen and take life to seriously."

Whatever that means.

Sometimes my dreams just scare the crap out of me. But then again, whose dreams don't?



12:53 AM

Ya Allah, I believe in You. I believe that whatever You have planned for me is for my own good. I believe that You are letting these heinous thoughts badger my mind as Your own way of telling me to keep holding on to You, to pray to You.

Ya Allah, please don't let me lose my faith in You. I believe that whatever happens is for the greater good. Please, don't let me loosen my grip on You. Please don't let me turn my back on my own religion.

Huh. Sorry, I just felt like I needed to vent out my feelings here. Lately I've been thinking of ridiculous, terrifying thoughts in my mind and it's making me anxious and stressed out. So I SMSed my two best friends and they came online, so I talked to them about what's been going on in my head for the past couple of days. And, being the wise people they are, they told me to turn to God and to pray to Him. That all of this is just God's way of testing my faith in Him.

I can really truly count on my two best friends to cheer me up. They're just so matured, so positive thinking.

I think I'm going to go pray now. Bye.

The woman who shows up on stage and then sings with the band in the end just had to ruin the whole song -.- Psshh. Anyway, 30 Seconds to Mars, is my current obsession!

And I love Jared Leto's voice! He is soooo...I can't even describe him in words, hahah.

I think I'm in love. Hahah.

Remember what I said on my last post? The one where I said that I had no doubts about having a good night's sleep last night? Well, yeah, apparently that was all just bollocks.

I couldn't sleep well last night, and I don't know why. It took me like about an hour to fall asleep after switching off the lights and tucking myself underneath the comforter. I also woke up a few times in the middle of the night and it was oddly warm inside my room. It was warm enough for me to kick back the comforter and sleep on it instead of underneath it.

There was this one time last night when I woke up with a start. I remember dreaming about all my teeth starting to get lose and then falling out of their sockets, and then I went to my mother, crying about how terrified I was. It was such a lucid and terrifying dream that I woke up with a gasp and my heart started pounding, and just to be sure, I ran my tongue along my teeth just to see whether or not they were still in place. Haha. That was really terrifying.

I hate dreaming. Seriously, I hate dreaming. I wouldn't mind if I dream of happy things, you know? But when it comes to weird dreams like oh I don't know, like my teeth falling out, that's just freaky. I always dream of weird things and sometimes they creep me out, other times they just annoy the crap out of me.

Anyway, I went to Ikea with my sister this morning since I wanted to treat myself after being done with the school magazine for the year. So I ordered their famous meatballs, hehe! We left the house at 10am, and by the time we got there it was nearly 10.30. But apparently what we didn't know was that Ikea serves breakfast until 11am, and they would only serve the hot meals at 11.30am. So while waiting for the meatballs to be cooked, my sister and I found a table and we shared a plate of Daim cake and I had an egg tart. So then my sister went back in line to buy our meals, but since she hadn't yet known that they would only be serving the hot meals at 11.30, she decided to wait right there in front of where they prepare the meatballs. Haha. She was so fascinated by the way the workers prepared our meals :P

After eating, we went walking around Ikea, just browsing through some stuff that we could only wish to buy. None of us got anything from Ikea, apart from our delicious meals, so then we went to The Curve since my sister wanted to go to a boutique. Then we went to Ikano because I wanted to buy myself an organizer and some stationaries for school next year. I got a pretty decent organizer. Not too fond of the colour choices but I still bought one in the end anyway. It didn't cost me a lot since the only thing I need in an organizer is the weekly planning, not all the extra jargons like the phone book and whatnot. Hehe.

Well, I'm glad I bought a planner for myself. Last year I just bought a notebook to notify me on the homework and assignments I had to do, but after a while I stopped referring to my notebook because it was just confusing. And I've been through a few times when I've forgotten about my homework and assignments and whatnot. I was just very disorganized with my work so I'm glad I have a planner for myself now. I'm sure I'll be laden with an atrocious amount of work next year, what with my affiliation with the school magazine committee, and my part time job, and not forgetting the homework and assignments I'll be receiving next year since it'll be the last and final year for me as a secondary school student. SPM, oh my God. It'll be in like, what? 11 months?

CRAP.

Oh well. At least last night I've studied a bit on chemistry. Hehe. I now know how the industry makes sulphuric acid! Yay! Haha. That's a good start...I think. Can't be a pessimist now :)



Friday, December 24
9:59 PM

Yes I'm out of titles, haha.

I am exhausted. I cleaned up my room a few hours ago, so that's why I'm feeling so tired right now. It's been a while since I've cleared my desk and my bedside table and basically everything else in my room. Haha. It was a freaking nest in there -.-

So I cleared my desk, threw away all the bits and pieces of rubbish lying around everywhere in my room, tidied my bedside table, and made my bed. Everything was very dusty because, like I said, it's been a while since I've cleaned up my room. I also swept the floor since I was too lazy to carry the huge, heavy vacuum upstairs to my room. I had to sweep my floor three times, just to make sure that the floor is 99% dust-free. Come on, you don't think that even if you use a vacuum cleaner, or even if you sweep your floor, then it would be completely dustless, do you?

Call me weird but I like to think of cleaning as a workout. I kid you not. When I clean my room, I can really feel my body being active and sometimes when I work hard enough, I can feel the tension in my muscles, not that I have any but, yeah. Haha. And I haven't really sweat that much so it felt good to be sweating again, hehe.

After I swept the floor three times, I scrubbed the floor with a wet rag. To use a mop would be pointless because my room is quite small, but spacious enough for me and I had to go through all the trouble of filling up a bucket of water and then rinsing the mop and squeezing the excess water after a few swipes. So I used a wet rag, instead, and I cleaned the floor Cinderella-style. I got on all fours and used both of my hands to scrub the floor, just to be thorough. Very old-fashioned, I know, haha but knowing me, I like things to be old-fashioned. And plus, it was a good workout! I could really feel the strain in my arms and that shows that I'm doing a hefty amount of work! Hehe.

I didn't realize that I got very exhausted until I was done showering. There's pretty much nothing to eat for dinner so I whipped up a chicken-roll sandwich for myself. I also ate the leftover apple pie from this afternoon's McDonald's, hehe.

I'm just glad that my room is clean now. I just love it when I'm greeted with a well-made bed and a clean floor and other clean stuff whenever I enter my cozy room. And then the lovely scent of fresh, clean sheets would just enlighten you and it welcomes you to your own abode. I mean, who doesn't want that, right? I can't wait to sleep tonight! Haha. My sheets smell so lovely and alluring that I have no doubts about having a good night's sleep tonight. And it's a cool night, to boot!

I can't wait for tomorrow morning. I'm treating myself to a yummy plate of meatballs that are sold at Ikea. Mhm!

Hah! Kalah TGIF :P

Kak Intan and I made burgers for dinner. And yes, the patties are homemade, hehe :D

The burger was so huge that taking a bite out of it became a challenge. I managed to finish only half of it because it was just sooooooo humongous. It was nearly as big as my face. 

But anyway, I had a good dinner nonetheless. Heck, to say that I had a "good dinner" would be an understatement. I had a wonderful fabulous yummy delicious dinner! Haha. I got so full that I was on the verge of throwing up. But luckily I didn't. Hah.

I just love cooking. Hehe.



4:57 PM

DON'T ASK. I'M OUT OF TITLES. And this computer mouse is a douche -.-

Anyway, today's whether is kinda bad. It's cloudy but it's not cold like how it should be. It's kinda hazy, in fact. I don't know why but there's just something about the weather that is making my eyes puffy... and I woke up six hours ago! It's pissing me off! But well, at least it's not warm right now :)

So apparently I heard that CBN did very well for PMR this year. 78 got straight A's, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah. That's even better than my batch, psshh. Last year, during my year, a total of 68 students got straight A's for PMR but this year the number increased. I have to say, I'm very proud of them. Hehe. And they say the generation is getting worse :P

My Facebook news feed is filled with students who've gotten excellent results, claiming that they're very happy and thanking everyone for their support and yeah you know the rest. Honestly, just reading these updates is making me feel more motivated to start studying now for SPM next year. Right now I've realized that I don't have much time left. SPM will be in approximately eleven months and it won't be long before eleven months have passed. Time flies by really fast and there's only so much I can do.

Well then, what the heck am I still doing here? I think I'm gonna start working on my Addmaths. And maybe later I'll work on my BM essay. After I'm done with my holiday homework, I'm planning to revise eeevverrryyyttthhhhiiinnnggggg I've learned in the past year. Everything. I NEED THOSE 9AAAAAAAAA's! Doesn't matter la A+ ke A-, as long as I get 9AAAAAAAAA's.

Anyway, I just wanna wish CONGRATULATIONSSSS to the form 3 girls of CBN! You've done really well, even better than my batch! Hahah. So, yeah, I'm sure you've made the school really proud :)

Once again, CONGRATULATIONS! :)

This is my 701st post! Haha I just realized that. I can't believe I've written 700 times here :p

Anyway, I'm working on an airplane plushie for my brother at the moment. Hehe. Although I know I'm supposed to be completing my homework right now buuttttt hehehehehe. I don't know why I just can't seem to sit down at a desk to write an essay and calculate some equations and whatnot instead of using the laptop for entertainment purposes. Sometimes it kinda pisses me off.

Hey, I think I'm quite in the mood to start doing my homework right now. Maybe later, hehe :P

I got another Jodi Picoult book this afternoon. Yessssssssss. Seriously, that woman is a novel goddess. The way she writes just glues you to your seat just to finish the book. And she writes about reality so well that sometimes when I read her books, she makes me plunge my thoughts deep into life as well. I kid you not, she made me open my eyes, she made me write better, she made me more open-minded.

Jodi Picoult, you're a legend.

So, last night I IMed with Tasha and she gave me a couple of websites that she suggested I should visit. I must say, it helped me a lot in choosing my career. Haha.

I won't bore you with the details, but from one of the websites, I got a lawyer. It even inserted my name into articles about law and whatnot and they were very inspiring! Haha. This is the one from HELP University. This is the website; http://apps.facebook.com/yourhelpfuture/

The other one got me an artist. Someone involved in fine arts, be it computer graphics or photography, etc. This one, I think, is a more accurate result since I had to take a really long quiz and it asked about my time management and how I would respond to given tasks and all that stuff. This is the website; http://www.careertest.net/index.htm

Well, I guess I can say that these two websites helped me shortlist what I want my career to be when I grow up. But still, I can't put aside the fact that I'm still considering to become a world renowned baker. Ceh, haha.

Ok, so it's either I become a lawyer or a graphic designer, or someone in the fine arts industry for that matter. Hmm. It seems like as if I'm following the footsteps of either one of my two sisters; one of them is a lawyer and the other one is an industrial designer. My other sister, who is the eldest among us, is still doing her masters.

Anyway, I really can't wait to see where this is going. My ambition might change sometime next year but I'm still excited nonetheless. And I am definitely going to the Education Fair again next year. Hahah.

STOP UNDERESTIMATING ME.

You have no idea what I can do and you don't even have a clue on what kind of talents -- yes, talentssssss -- I have coz you never even bothered to know.

So many thoughts are going through my mind right now that I can't even explain myself.

Is it so wrong to be so devoted to something that you really enjoy doing? Sheesh.

"hahahaha the funny thing was tht my reactions mcm "o.O *in my head: iman nak pegi mana, she wnts to try another fitting room ke? tkpela, i'll just go to the old one, hah knp she left her bags here? probleeemmm -.-"

Iman: eyh i tersalah fitting room hahahaha

Tasha: bimbooo moment hahahahahhaa
"

Haha. Never in my life have I entered the wrong fitting room -.- We laughed like crazy goons after that hahahahah



9:51 PM

Don't bother asking about the title of this post. I'm out of titles. Hahah.

I had a tiring but fun time today with a few of my friends. My sister was kind enough to drive us around, hahah. Anyway, my sister and I left the house at 10.45am and we arrived at Midvalley at 11. We parted ways because my sister had a movie to catch so I went to MPH whilst waiting for my friends to come. I spent nearly 45 minutes in the bookstore and I was very, very tempted to buy a couple of storybooks and a chemistry reference book, since I gave mine away to Ashiqin. But I still haven't withdrawn any money so I just left the bookstore empty handed.

So at around 11.45, Tasha arrived and so we started walking to the land of nowhere. Hahah. Nah, we just walked around because we didn't know where to go. So in the end we went to Saint Cinnamon and I had my favourite chocolate cinnamon roll and an Esprit passion fruit drink. It was my breakfast, apart from a chocolate granola bar I ate earlier, hahah.

And then Ash arrived and we waited for her in front of MPH. The main purpose of us going to Midvalley was to go to the Education Fair, so we went there as planned. It took a moment for me to realize what was really going on. Haha. Honestly speaking, I really don't know what I want to become when I grow up. I don't know which university to go to and what courses I should take. I thought that maybe by going to the edu fair I'd understand more about the courses that I have in consideration. And I did, a bit.

The education fair was crowded with sweaty people. Haha, kidding. But it was very crowded. Some places at the education fair were so crowded and it was nearly impossible to get through the crowd and we kept on bumping into everyone. I went to a few stalls owned by the colleges that offer fine arts. I'm really considering taking graphic design when I'm finished with SPM, so I asked some of the lecturers or students or whoever's affiliated with the colleges that offer graphic design. I inquired about the subjects that we have to take, and the requirements to be a student there, and also the fees and whether or not they offer scholarships. So yeah, among a few I went to for graphic design were MSU, KBU, PJCAD and some others that I can't remember. Haha.

I'm also considering taking law as well, since I love reading and my friends say I'm good at justifying my thoughts, or whatever. Haha. I never knew that :P Anyway, I went to KDU's stall and inquired about law. The fees are pretty steep but I got a lot of information from the lecturer who explained to me what law is all about. Heh, maybe if I'm still interested in law I'll just go to UiTM, that's where my lawyer sister went to.

And then my best friends stumbled upon a few stalls that offer pastry arts. So they told me to go and check them out since I love baking, and so I did. I'm not really sure if they're colleges or universities or blegh, but I can tell that they offer good education on pastry arts. They have pastry chefs coming in from Europe and some other countries to teach the students. It'd be really interesting to go to there and study pastry arts, but then again, I'm not sure my parents would approve of such a course.

Sigh, I don't know. Sometimes I feel so outdated and it makes me feel so stressed out due to the fact that my two best friends already know what they want to be. Tasha is passionate about actuarial science and Ash wants to take up journalism. I'm really glad for them but at the same time I feel so empty and so lost knowing that I really don't know what to do when I finish SPM. It's like stumbling upon a dead end. You've finished school, and then what? Ash told me that I can do a lot of different things and maybe that's why I don't know what I should do for a living, and that little nugget of advice cheered me up a bit knowing that I can actually do a lot of different things. But still, I just can't decide what field I want to be in. I know there's still a lot of time for me to think, I still have about a year and a half before I go to university. But still. I just don't want to end up being career-less and I don't want to end up being a useless douche.

I just wanna be someone who can put a smile on other people's faces.

Sigh.

Anyway, after spending about a couple of hours at the education fair, we went to Popeye's to have lunch. I haven't eaten there for a while and I missed their yummy biscuits. Haha. Tasha didn't want to eat anything so Ash and I just shared a plate of fried chicken and some side dishes. She had one piece of chicken, I had one piece of chicken, and we shared the same drink.

And, here's the funny part...While the three of us were having lunch and talking and laughing with each other, one of the workers at Popeye's came to our table and handed me a folded piece of tissue, and then he told me that one of the worker dudes handed me his name and his number in the tissue. Haha. It was so funny and so unexpected, I actually blushed like mad. Ash blushed too, haha! The dude was like, "Nampak tak the guy yang pegang senduk tu?" Apparently the dude with the ladle was the one who handed me his number. But I didn't see his face coz I was too weirded out to say anything. It was such an awkward moment and after the guy left our table, the three of us burst out laughing.

I've had a previous encounter like this before, back when I was 14, but he didn't give me his number -.- Haha. I still remember that encounter. It's so funny. I was buying my school uniform with my sister, and as we were lining up to pay, one of the salesperson walked up to us and asked to speak to me alone. I got a bit weary and then the salesperson said that her friend, the dude who helped me pick the right size for my school uniform, had his eyes on me and she asked for my age. I was so weirded out and when she left, I went back to my sister and I laughed.

I can't believe people actually have the nerve to do that. Haha. Anyway, the fact that the dude gave me his number sounds really cute and all but I'm not gonna give him a call -.- I took the piece of tissue along with me because I didn't want to offend the dude if I just leave it there on the table. I mean, come on, he actually had the guts to hand me his number -.-

So yeah. That was really weird and awkward and I really don't want the same thing to happen again. It's freaky :S

After having lunch at Popeye's, we met Atasha and her cousin, April. Then we went to meet my sister and she drove us to Telawi, Bangsar where we searched for clothes. My sister dropped us off in front of Bangsar Village II and then all five of us started searching for whatever it was we were looking for. We went to very few shops because it was getting dark really fast. What a bummer. Anyway, after going to a couple of shops, we went to Tutti Frutti and had a treat. I shared my frozen yoghurt with Ash, again. Haha. And then Atasha and April had to go home, so the three of continued our little shopping spree.

I'm too lazy to bore you with where we went, so yeah. And then Ash had to go home, so Tasha and I just walked around in Bangsar Village II since it was already dark outside. We went to Vincci+ where I showed her these cool pair of killer heels, but unfortunately I'm still too young to wear them, haha. Then we went to Dorothy Perkins, and then to Aldo where Tasha tried on these really cool red shades, and then to Skechers, and then to Liz Claiborne. I found a very nice button-up shirt at Liz Claiborne. It was RM269 but it was 50% off, so I had to pay like around RM135 for that shirt. It was really nice and the material was very comfortable, but then again I didn't have enough money in my wallet and in order to pay for that shirt, I had to go and withdraw some money and I was too tired to find an ATM and plus, I had to save money, so I decided against buying the shirt. I resisted, yay! Haha.

Did I mention that I bought a simple grey long-sleeve top from one of the boutiques at Telawi? Haha I guess not. It was really cheap and the material is so comfortable, so I only spent RM20 on clothes. The rest is on food. Haha. I am so like my sister. She spends a lot of money on food :P

After debating with myself on whether or not to buy the shirt from Liz Claiborne, we went to meet my sister at Coffee Bean. We waited for Tasha's parents to arrive because my sister wasn't comfortable with leaving Tasha alone. So after about twenty minutes later, her parents arrived. We said our goodbyes and then my sister and I went home.

And here I am now. I am exhausted and it feels like it's been such a long day. It feels like the education fair happened yesterday. Haha.

I still had fun nonetheless. I'm looking forward to more outings with my best friends like this. I just love spending some quality time with my best friends. I've been looking forward to it all month because we haven't been going out for so long. The last time we went out together was in August, I think, where we celebrated Tasha and Ash's birthdays. Haha.

So yeah, thank you, best friends, for such a delightfully wonderful day! You know who you are :)

Oh my god, sorry for the long post! Hahah. A lot of stuff going on today :p

I think I'm gonna take a shower now. Toodles!



Wednesday, December 15
12:37 PM

I slept relatively early last night. By 12.30am, I was already in bed, listening to my iPod to sleep. Haha, it has become a daily routine now, to sleep with my iPod on. But of course after a while I'd switch it off la -.-

I slept early last night because I planned to wake up early today. Well, I did, and I was already awake by 8.30am. Buuutttt I went back to sleep. Hahah. In the end I woke up at 11.30, as always. Since I've already wasted nearly half of my day, I decided to take a shower before doing anything else. So I hopped into the shower and had my hair shampooed. And oh, my hair just smells divine! Even though the shampoo I'm using now makes my hair a little dry, I still love it because the shampoo is so fragrant and the scent is like my Body Shop Cherry Blossom perfume, and it does a wonderful job at cleaning my hair. This shampoo makes my scalp feel so clean and fresh and it makes me feel refreshed! Haha.

I just love to start off my day with such a rejuvenating shower. I loooove smelling good all day :D

Anyway, I still haven't gotten any feedbacks on who wants to join the graphics department for the school magazine. But oh well. It's only been one day. And plus my teacher is going to make an announcement to the whole school next year when school is on, so yeah. We're trying to find someone who's good enough in computer graphics so that she can hold the title as the head of the graphics department when I leave school for good. And so far we're not doing a pretty good job at finding one -.-

Oh well. Good things come to those who wait, right?

I'm already working on my third project! Another sewing project, haha. I'm making a couple of cupcakes for my two best friends and I really hope they'll love it! Also, when I'm done with the cupcakes, I'm going to make an airplane plushie for my brother as well, just because I love him :)

Eeeep can't wait!

K, that's a very random title. Haha.

Anyway, it's been nearly a couple of hours since I've returned home from school. I had to go to school early in the morning today to finish up the dummy for our school magazine, the Marguerite. I must admit, before this I was quite reluctant and I felt very lazy to show up, but I still had no choice because I needed to be there. Arranging transportation was a pain and I feel like such a troublemaker because of the fact that other people's schedules aren't as flexible as mine to cram an extra hour to pick me up from school. Sometimes I just wish I can go home by train and have someone pick me up at the nearest LRT station from my house.

But, oh well. I should be thankful that at least there's someone who can pick me up and that I won't have to go through the trouble of getting home by train.

So, I found out that only three other people are showing up; my two editors and our teacher advisor. I really thought the whole team was gonna be there. Haha. But it's alright. We managed to get half the job done, although there's still more to do. But I'm glad that we've accomplished a lot today. Like I said, there's still more to do, so we'll have to return back to school on Friday to get everything done.

I won't bore you with the details about what we've been doing in school just now because I'm too lazy to write. Hahah.

I don't know what else to write. Hmm. Oh! Wait now I remember.

To CBNers, if you know anyone who's interested in joining the graphics department for our school magazine next year, or if you know anyone who's really good at computer graphics, do tell me. I don't mean to boast but since I will be the head of the graphics department again next year, I need to find more people who can help me with all the graphics and stuff. I also need to find somebody who's really good in computer graphics so that she can replace me on my position as the head of the graphics department when I leave the school. Please please please, I really need all the feedback I can get. I'll be very busy with my studies next year and I need all the help I can get. Even if you don't think that you know computer graphics that much and you're still interested, you can still join the graphics department and you can help by assembling the pages together. Thank you so much and your cooperation is highly appreciated :)

I had a delightfully wonderful weekend. My sister is home from another island but sadly she's going back there tonight. Anyway, I had a wonderful weekend.

I'm quite sad and I feel like I'm starting to get depressed again because the weekend is ending in about an hour and everyone will be busy and I'll be stuck here at home, forced to be my own company. Anyway, last night I went to Uncle Don's with whoever was home, mainly my parents and two of my sisters. I had such a pleasant dinner with them, the ambiance of the restaurant was lovely, the night had a slight cool breeze and I filled my tummy with good, hearty food. Oh yeah.

Have I told you about my new hobby? Oh no, I haven't. Haha. Anyway, I've acquired a new hobby; sewing. Kinda lame, haha but whatever. It's kinda fun, and my sewing skills really showed! Hehe. Remember my blog post about the ice cream plushie? Yeah, I made that. It looks pretty awesome, for a first-timer-plushie-maker like me. Haha. Yesterday after lunch with my sister I purchased a few assorted colours of felt and a huge bag of polyester fiberfill, the thing that is stuffed inside dolls and teddy bears. Apparently the smallest pack of fiberfills they had was weighed half a kilogram and since the fiberfills are really light, it was a huuuuge pack and has a loooot of fiberfills. So when I got home I started working on the templates and just by doing that was a huge pain in the ass. But nevertheless, the outcome is just wonderful :)

Once I started working on the ice-cream plushie, I really couldn't stop. I was so caught up with the project that when my sister announced that we were going out for dinner, I changed my clothes really fast and fixed my hair a bit and then continued working on the ice-cream plushie. In the end I stayed up until 4.30am just to finish the project. Plus, I couldn't sleep, anyway. Haha. I only had five hours of sleep last night, since I had to wake up early this morning to buy my school uniform.

I'll post a picture of the ice cream plushie soon ;)

I had a wonderful morning today. My two sisters and I went to Midvalley this morning to get my school uniform. We went early so that parking wouldn't be such a hassle and the mall wouldn't be so crowded with people. After getting my school uniform, we had a pleasant brunch at McDonald's, where I couldn't finish my Sausage McMuffin and also where I just happened to touch someone else's disgusting chewing gum that has been stuck and dried at the bottom of my chair. The asshole who stuck his/her chewing gum underneath the chair must've been either pea-brained or maybe just plain brainless. Imbecilic fool.

So then we went home by noon and I started working on a new project! Hehe. That is, after I finished my first project. Another ice-cream plushie! Haha. But this time the ice-cream is in a cone, not on a dish like the one I started last night and finished today. I managed to finish it by dinnertime and since my sister requested an ice-cream cone plushie from me, I made it specially for her. She was so in love with it and I felt so happy. Hehe. Oh yeah, and the ice-cream-sundae-on-a-dish plushie? I gave to my other sister :)

By the time I was done with both of my ice-cream plushies, I was thinking to myself, Oh S#1T what am I gonna do with all these extra felts and fiberfills? The answer? Just make more stuff! Haha. I'm already planning on making a pizza plushie and a fast-food box of fries, both of them coming from my sister's right-brained head. Haha. Oh this is gonna be fun.

Maybe I'll make something for my two best friends :)

I'm really bummed that the weekend is ending. Maybe it's just my teenage blues kicking in but I feel like I'm going to be depressed for a couple of days or so. That usually happens after I've had a long and wonderful weekend with my family.

I may be on school break, but that doesn't mean I'd enjoy my weekdays.

I feel so accomplished :)

Can I ask you a question?

Why is it always that some people are totally narrow-minded, and they think that just because you're not in the science stream, or that you choose a career that has nothing to do whatsoever with science and math, then you're just dumb, or not intelligent, or you're just not doing well in school? Seriously. I mean, do the words "smart" and "intelligent" only apply to those who are left-brained? I'M JUST SAYIN'.

You know how our brain controls our body? The left side of our brains control the right side of our bodies and vice versa. And hey, I may be a right-handed person, but I honestly think I was born to be a lefty, because I find myself to be right-brained most of the time. Haha. My dad once told me that when I was in kindergarten, I used to write with my left hand, but then I don't know why all of a sudden I switched to right. Maybe I was influenced by my kiddie friends in kindergarten. Haha.

But it'd be so cool if I can write with both hands. I'd be ambidextrous, baby!

Anyway, yeah, let's just get straight to the point; right-brained people are awesome too, you know! I'M JUST SAYIN' :)

I love the weather today. It's bright, it's sunny, although it's rather hot but who cares. After a while of not seeing the sun, I'm kind of thrilled to see the massive hot ball of fire again.

It's very windy, too :)

I think it's the perfect weather to go to the park and have a picnic under a tree or something. But sadly I see a storm brewing and it's coming this way and I don't want it to ruin this lovely weather! :(

Oh well. It was a pleasure seeing you again, Mr. Sun.

Tomorrow is a weekend and I'm excited! Hehe. My sister and my brother-in-law wanted me to bake chocolate chip cookies and I've just made a dozen cupcakes a couple of days ago! Haha. Hmm if I'm not feeling too lazy tomorrow, maybe I'll bake some. Although I do need to go to the grocery store and get some stuff for the chocolate chip cookies. Darn it.

A couple of days ago I had an injury. It was nothing, just a minor injury, although it makes my pain receptors scream like mad. I had that injury when I was helping my dad cook dinner and I was using the vegetable peeler to peel some potatoes. The process was painstakingly slow and somehow in the end the blade of the peeler went through my nail on my middle finger on my left hand. For a while I just stared at it, kind of indifferent, before the pain finally kicked in and I went to the sink to wash all the blood off. Hehe so yeah, I chipped my nail and it hurts. No, wait, it stings. Badly. You know sometimes when you cut your nails you tend to go further than where the nail-clipper should go and you end up injuring the flesh a bit? Yeah, it feels just like that, except that mine is deeper and more painful. I can still see a bit of the raw flesh where a fragment of my nail is supposed to be. HAHA. My sister freaked out when I showed it to her. Hahahahah.

My finger is fine now. I think. I can't apply even a small amount of pressure on it or else my pain receptors would scream at me. But the good news is that it doesn't hurt when it comes in contact with water and some bathroom products. Hehe. When the wound was still new and still sensitive and I needed to shower, I bit my lip. How the heck was I gonna shower with that disgusting, painful raw flesh sticking out of my nail? The answer was simple. I just had to go with it and pretend that it doesn't hurt. Oh but it did. Real bad. Especially when the wound came in contact with my shampoo and my bodywash. I had to clench my teeth so hard to block out the pain because it was so deep and unbearable. It stings, alright? Badly.

Well at least I didn't cry -.-

I am now relying on aloe vera to quickly cure my finger. And yesterday I just found out that there's an aloe vera plant outside my house so I grabbed a knife, went to the plant, and cut a small portion from one of the aloe leaves. The colour of the plant was kind of a dull dark green and I wasn't sure if that's how it was supposed to look like. But I just cut it anyway. And then I squeezed some of the gel to the wound inflicted on my finger and I have to say, it kind of soothed the pain a little. But the smell was just..err...not favourable. Haha. It has some stinky odour there, although I'm not sure if aloe vera gels are supposed to have odours.

Haha. Anyway. I shall stop crapping like a mad cow right now. I'm hungry. My stomach is growling at me for not filling it up. So I shall go and eat something now.

You know that lately I've been "back in the groove" for photography? Haha. Anyway, yeah, lately photography has piqued my interest again and I'm doing photography, again. I must admit, after a while of not snapping artistic photos, I've gotten quite a few good shots. In fact, I think they're even better than the shots I've had previously. Haha.

Anyway, last week I followed my brother to one of the stores in Midvalley that sells cameras since he wanted to buy a new lens for his Nikon. I found one Nikon model, it was a D90 if I'm not mistaken. It was fairly small and it looked like as if it would fit in my tiny hands. But, damn, I looked at the price and it was nearly 2K. Or probably more than that. Two thousand bucks is not really within my expenses. Haha. Since my brother found out that I was interested in that camera, he asked the salesperson how much the body costs. As in, just the camera, without the lens. My brother said if I have enough money then I can just buy the body, since he has another lens that he's willing to lend me. The body was RM1800, I think. Still expensive. Haha.

My sister got her Nikon at a secondhand dealer somewhere in Amcorp Mall. But unfortunately, that particular camera store closed down a long time ago. Sigh.

I'm not really fond of using the Canon 400D. It's not that the camera isn't good, it really is and in fact the quality of the photos look amazing. But I'm already so used to Nikon that using the Canon is kinda alien to me. I can still snap great photos with it, you know, but I just miss using the Nikon. Heh, my sister's Nikon, more like.

So at the moment I'm saving money to buy a new DSLR camera for myself. My brother recommended me to buy a Nikon since both he and my sister use Nikon, so that we can exchange our lenses from time to time. Smart dude, my brother is. Haha.

I bet it's going to take me up to a year from now to save two thousand bucks. Well then, I guess it's a perfect timing. After I'm done with my SPM, then I can go straight to the camera store and buy my Nikon DSLR. Hehe. InsyaAllah. Maybe I'll try transferring some money into my savings account so that I won't have the tendency to withdraw money just as I like.

Other than the camera, there's also one more thing that I've considered buying. A netbook. You know, those laptops that are so tiny they look like toys? Yeah that one. They cost about a thousand bucks or so, which I hope I can afford by the time I'm finished with my SPM.

If I were to buy both a camera and a netbook, I'd need at least three thousand bucks. Yikes. Haha. Oh well. Better start saving now.

Felt Ice Cream Sundae Plush

AHAAAA! I am soooo making that, people! Haha. I found this ice-cream plushie online at instructables.com and I'm really tempted to try and make my own ice-cream plushie. I mean, come on, isn't that just adorable? Hehe.


Hopefully I'll be able to buy the stuff I need tomorrow. I just need some colourful felts and a huge bag of cotton balls. But actually the person who made this ice-cream plushie used fiberfills, but since I don't know where I can get that I'll just substitute them with cotton balls. Easy easy easy! And I just made myself sound like Rachael Ray in my head. Haha. She always says that "Easy easy easy!" phrase on her cooking shows.

Anyway, I really want to start this project as soon as possible. I really can't wait to give my sewing skills a go and try and make my own ice-cream plushie. Who knows, if I succeed on my first attempt, I might be able to make other plushie toys! Think about it! If I have some free time on my hands, I might be able to make plushie cupcakes, and plushie fruits, and other plushie stuff! Plushie plushie plushie!

I caaaaan't waaaaaaaiiiiiittttttt!

I had a very, very crappy day today. You know sometimes it just happens to be "one of those days" where everything just doesn't work out for you and everything just...sucks? Yeah, I was going through that earlier today.

First of all, after I ate some chicken wings for lunch today, my sister took me to the bank to retrieve my swallowed ATM card -- bloody machine. Anyway, apparently it wasn't likely for me to be able to get my ATM card today because firstly, the ATM that swallowed my card was the one for OKU. Secondly, in order to get back my card, some safeguard dude has to open up the machine but unfortunately the fella would only come on Wednesday. Thirdly, I could apply for a new card but they'd have to deduct RM12 from my bank account, which was fine by me because I just want my ATM card back. Well, yeah, sure, I tried to apply and the lady at the customer service counter handed out the form to me so I filled it up. Then I submitted the form to the counter that's in charge of card renewals and blah dee blah blah. Buuuuttttt up to my disappointment, in order for me to apply for a new ATM card, one of my parents had to be there and sign the bloody form because I'm underage. Bullshit. Does it really matter? I mean, my sister -- and adult -- was with me!

So after wasting not only mine but also my sister's precious time, we left the bank with me shaking my head in utter frustration. After that my sister drove me to Amcorp Mall to collect my altered skirt from one of the boutiques in the mall. And, here's the funny thing, guess what? The boutique was closed! How convenient. I was so heartbroken and frustrated because I'd already wasted my time walking to a place to get things done only to end up with a fruitless outcome. I got so flustered and angry that I just kept silent in the car while on the way to Midvalley.

Oh, yes, after my utter disappointment of wasting my time and energy getting to the boutique in Amcorp Mall, my sister took me out to Midvalley for the carbonated drink survey, whatever you call it lah. It was a survey about some carbonated drinks where you had to drink some carbonated drinks and evaluate them. Anyway, it turns out that family members can't participate. I was like, what the....? So in the end I was the one who participated and we had to wait for a long time. So after a while, my sister planted some logical sense into my brain and told me that if she were me, she'd leave since we had to wait sooooo long. Apparently I heard that you'd get some money after doing the survey. So after a while of some thoughtful thinking, I finally decided to leave and just as I was about to tell one of the people associated with the survey, my name was called up so that they could start the survey with me. So yeah, after about fifteen minutes I left the place with 40 bucks. Haha.

After that, we walked around Midvalley for a while before going to dinner. I had to go to the restroom so I went to the one near MPH. And apparently, the contractor who built the restroom was either drunk while doing his job or just plain brainless. I think I'll choose the latter. Why? Because first of all, there was no hose inside the cubicles. You know sometimes toilet bowls have that thing at the back where it pours out a stream of water to wash your, um, you know what? Haha, a gross topic at the moment, but just bear with me. And in order to have the water running from the thing, you'd have to turn the tap. So yeah, instead of having a proper damn hose, they had that thing. Stupid, right? And to top it all off, the water pressure was so retarded and slow that I couldn't even reach the stream of water. That's just so illogical! I mean, why bother having that stupid thing when you can have a proper and convenient way to wash your genitals? It's just so stupid and I left the restroom feeling disgusted, dirty and just plain flustered and pissed.

Midvalley seriously doesn't know how to provide a proper restroom. Like SERIOUSLY.

So in the end my mood gradually started getting better as my sister picked up her friend from work and they brought me out to dinner at Sri Nirwana, Bangsar, where I had my favourite banana leaf rice and all. That was some seriously hearty comfort food! After that we went to the grocery store and I bought a packet of mini Snickers bars and some milk and some other things so that I can make some deep fried Snickers bars tomorrow. Yippee!

When I reached home, I took a really long and relaxing shower. I even conditioned my thick locks. Haha. Normally I wouldn't condition my hair whenever I wash it, I'd just shampoo it. But since I needed a good, relaxing shower, I decided to condition my hair and use a really indulgent body wash and after I got out of the shower I smelt so good I could eat myself.

And here I am now, venting out my feelings to an electronic device that allows me to surf the internet and whatnot. Haha. Okay I just made myself sound so pathetic.

So in a nutshell, I had such a crappy day today and all I want to do now is to just snuggle up on the couch and watch TV or read a book with a hot mug of chocolate tea. I'm so tired.

I can't wait to get back my ATM card on Wednesday. They'd better open up the damn machine or I'll throw a fit. And trust me, that's not really something you'd want to come across.

I'm gonna do some other stuff now. So, good night!

I just got back from the bank after having my dinner at Sushi King.

So, since I wanted to apply for internet banking, I slipped my ATM card inside the little slot on the machine. Thank God my sister was just right next to me because she was the one who suggested I apply for internet banking again. Yes, again. I was happily chatting with my sister and all of a sudden the screen on the machine said something about my card not applicable about something -- I didn't manage to finish the whole sentence before the screen went back to its original state -- but my card didn't pop back out like how it's supposed to.

Sigh. After a few seconds I had to accept the fact that the ATM actually swallowed my ATM card! So my sister and her friend tried to call the bank headquarters but only my sister managed to speak to the dude in charge, or whatever. They already blocked my card so that whoever possesses my card won't be able to access my bank account. Phew.

But still. My mind isn't at rest knowing that my ATM card is somewhere out there, out in the cold, not in my beautifully cozy purse. Haha. Anyway, yeah, I can't sleep peacefully knowing that I don't have possession of my own ATM card. Come on, we live in the 21st century, and there are bound to be skillful hackers out there. Who knows, maybe something might go wrong with the security system or whatever blahs and some disgusting hacker is gonna hack it? I'm just worried that someone is going to gain access to my bank account and steal all my money. Uuggghhhhhh blaaaaahhhasfhasdfjahwefbuasdfb. Maybe I shouldn't be thinking about all this.

I have to return to the bank on Monday to pick up my card. Or if my card ends up in the hands of the wrong person then I'll have to get a new card.

I just want the reassurance that my money is in safe hands and that no one can gain access to it except ME!

Blaaaaaaaahhhhhhhaslkfhashgasdghk I can't believe this is happening to me!

I'm scared :/
