What is gotong-royong in English??

See how fast 1 week is? You see how time flies?? This also mean I have 3 more weeks. Wait, I can't just SEE how time flies. ugh. forget that. I can't believe it. My high school years are almost over. I may not know how I feel now because the only feeling I have now has made me forget certain things and absorb more things which I will need to use them to determine my tomorrow.

So, Kok Siang has been carrying his camera along with him this week. Taking pictures and videos of our class. haha. You know how much I love the camera right?? *evil laughs* I was nicknamed as "the poser". I could detect a camera from far away with the receptors on my face. When that happens, my brain will be on auto-mode, that is getting ready for the camera. I can't help it okay!! Its like a reflex action/involuntary action. I don't know whether or not if I am a camwhore, who cares! I like taking pictures, whether I look ugly or weird in it. Its a lifetime memory.

I think I should bring my camera too. However, I would face another problem like what Kok Siang and Jian is facing right now. ugh.

After reading Kok Siang's post, it makes it so much harder to leave school. ....
As I was watching the video, I was like "omg. i hope he didn't put it in"
After watching the whole thing, I was so relieved. hehehe.
But, its ok la... I wont be angry or anything. Instead, I will be laughing my heart out.

I was just wondering. Who else is going for the Kasturi Tuition Centre SPM Seminar?? Cause, I'll be going on the weekends. XD. Who knows, I might bump into anyone I know.

Oh yeah, I met a long lost friend. How long if you might want to know? Okay. It was 10 years ago. I did not find her. She found me instead. She was one of the people I remember really well when I was studying in Cheras in Standard 1. We were in the same school but different class. (Back then, there are 13 standard 1 classes. I could not recall which class I was) We hung out together during recess and after school either of us will go to each other's houses and finish up our homework and talk all day. We were always talking. Although, I was not a social butterfly back then, I was a chatterbox around her. Talked in the car, recess, moral studies class, phone or anywhere. We were called the Double D's since our initials starts with a D.
All the memories with her are now starting to pour like hot soup. Warm. Refreshing. and wow. However, I could not remember saying Goodbye to her. I could not remember whether I told her that I moved to Ampang. I could not remember the last day I spent with her. Don't get me wrong alright? She was one of my good friends I had. We always get picked and teased in school for being weird. (I don't know what so weird about me/us back then)
I was quite surprised when she messaged me. I tried calling her when I moved to Ampang, but after some time, we drifted apart. I was truly overjoyed when I read her message and the fact that she still remembers me.
Well, I guess it was never a goodbye after all. =)
We grew up and became different people.

Wai min, I'm lazy to do the tag right now. I'll just do it another time, alright? =)
I can't think about answering any questions besides questions that are study-related.

*phone call*

"hello?"
"Denise, what is "gotong-royong" in English??"
"*blur, thinking* uhhhh....."
"I need it now! I don't have a dictionary"
" I can't think right now!!!"
" okok, why don't you call me back later and check it out for me okay? It's important!!"

What was I supposed to do??? LOL. I was so engross studying world history and writing an essay. All of the sudden, you called me and ask me what is gotong-royong in English??? LOL. crap. I might need this in my English essay and now, I already forgot what is gotong-royong in English. ps: I wonder what so important about the needing the word gotong-royong in English for.. ah, I wasn't bothered to ask any further.

That is all for now. Stay tuned till' next week(or maybe not) for more live and unexciting life of the goddess of wine(whine). haha.

Good night!

ps : I got no pictures now. My computer is squeaky clean now. NO pictures at all. I better start filling it up. well, soon.... (I wonder how soon is soon)

Life is so funny.

Hello earthlings. It has been ages, I know. I was busy and I am still busy. Yes, Kok Siang was right about my computer. BUT, not about me, "downloading naughty things"- Its an internal joke. I'm a good girl with evil intentions! muahahaha..... Just kidding. Its not really a bad thing that my computer was spoiled. It actually helps a lot. =D Just that, now that I don't use it and I don't watch television. Instead, I channel my communication through sms's, phone calls and the radio.

What was I doing the whole week?
Go to school, tuition, eat, sleep, bathe, study and study. That's about it. Nothing else. No television and no computer. Basically, this process repeats itself everyday. Its driving me nuts! Good for me.. I am already crazy. Go ask...

Anyway, I was walking to one of my friends one night. I don't know who started it but I think it was me because I was all emo and talking like a mad woman all of the sudden. None of us are sad but we were just talking and exchanging thought about being a guy and being a girl. Life is so funny. hehe. In fact, I found out something about guys. Its not shocking or anything. Just something that I never knew. Well, our conversation was left hanging since I was already asleep. It was 2am already.

I got my trials exam results and I am slightly disappointed with it. Some are excellent! but, the others are just... bad. One thing is for sure, I did not fail any of the subjects that I took. I got an A1 for Bahasa Melayu, English, Mathematics, and Moral. An A2 for EST and Biology. The others are lower than an A2. hehehe.

I had a haircut on Wednesday. I feel so much better now as my head is lighter than before. It's like a start of something new. I like it.

This week, I was being asked 3 questions. Not just ordinary questions.

First Question : What food that transforms from a liquid state to a solid state when it is heated?

This question was posted by my tuition Chemistry teacher. To my surprise, I could not answer it. Actually, the whole class could not answer it. haha. The answer made me feel so dumb. Anyway. Try answering this question and leave the answer on this post and not on my cbox.

Second Question : What century are we in now???

*slaps forehead* Well, a friend of mine asked me this question. I was surprised that he doesn't know what century are we in now. haha! We're in the 21st century!!!! LOL. I can't stop laughing!

Third Question : Sakai, What are you?? Mangsa Tsunami ar?? Like never eat for 10 days like that! If you're hungry at the correct times, its ok. But you are hungry all the time.. omg. What is wrong with you??

Okay, that was extracted from one of my sms's. hahaha. I've been constantly eating like there is no tomorrow. I can't help it okay. I just need to munch on something. haha. Wanna know what I replied?
"I can't help it. Maybe its my hormones or I'm pregnant. Hmmm... That explain my tummy."
I was joking alright. XD

A week ago, a few of my friends and I crashed at my place. We ate, laughed, joked and talked about random things. We did some crazy things as usual. Some of it made me laugh so hard that I could die. haha. Good times. I have the urge to blog about it but, I'll just pass.

Someone owes me a video and pictures (you people know who you are). I got a video and more pictures upload, but I'm lazy. So, I'll just post some pictures.

Vi, Kok and I at the carpark downstairs my house.
We look like sakai's(according to the dark dude in this picture)


Don't you just love tha rain??


These 2 clowns/sakai's- (that is what they call themselves) went camping and they did not sleep well at all.


Another clown. I did not have enough sleep.

Oh yeah....
Thank you so much for the beautiful rose!! =D
I love it so much!!!
Don't mind the backgrouns and the stuffs around it.
There's a story behind it. XD

I don't understand something.  First, I was being "questioned" (figuratively and literally) about the "choices" ( theres a list) I've made. I wanted to say I have my own reasons. However, I don't think I should put it that way. In actual fact, I have the rights to remain silent(haha) and I don't have to answer your "question". Second, you don't have to spoil my friendship with people. Its immature. Third, get the hell out of my social life and let me live my own life. To "XYZ"(whoever you are), What the f*** have I ever did to you?! I apologise for my language but you've just popped my bubble. I value certain things in my life. Yeah, talk about "people deserve a second chance?"  let's imagine this senario "ohh.... I did this mistake once and I deserve a second chance". Not everyone/everything deserves a second chance. I totally understand people do mistakes. But WHEN the "second chance" is abused? what will you do? My principle of forgiveness is simple, Forgive, put the past behind you but always remember them. As George Santayana once said "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it".(The Life of Reason, Volume 1:1905). You can find this on your Form 4 and Form 5 History text books at the beginning of every chapter. It is located at the bottom of the page. 
Well, I have nothing against "XYZ" now or in the future. Unless I'm being provoked (To incite to anger or resentment). Its not worth it at all. To be honest, I don't feel happy doing it. I might enjoy watching you angry but what's the use? I have better things to do. So, just move on with your life and let me lead my own life.

I'm Afraid

I don't know whether is there something wrong with me or is it just the weather? I'm officially having fever. AGAIN. This is the 3rd time of the year! What is wrong with me? gosh. I had sore throat twice this year. I just recovered from one of them 2 weeks ago and now I'm not feeling well again. This time, I almost have flu. I was supposed to go to one of my teacher's house for raya but, I could not make it because I feel like crap and I don't feel like going out.

Maybe its the weather. One day its hot and the next day is cold. Its driving me crazy. I can't tahan with the sudden change of the weather. Well, its global warming.  Hmm... I was watching Ellen Degeneres Talk Show today and I'm starting to love it. I do watch it almost everyday if I happen to come across that programme on channel 711. So yeah, today she was talking about animal extinction. For instance, Over 120 species of frogs are already extinct for the past 10 years. About 200 more species of frogs will extinct in 20 years in the future. Well, if my memory servers me right, that's what I remembered. Its really shocking to not know about this before.

I'm having mixed emotions now. Sometimes I'm happy. Sometimes I'm emo. Sometimes I'm just not interested. Sometimes I'm emotionless. Sometimes I'm just plain blur. what the... ok.. Sometimes, I'm odd. Don't worry.. I'm not crazy.Although there's a high chance for me to go cuckoo in a few more days or in a week.

I have extra class in school tomorrow. I'm so dead. Don't worry, I wont die. I'll survive. I'm really afraid to go to school tomorrow. SERIOUSLY! I'M NOT JOKING! I'm really afraid. I will have to face the music. I have the choice of not attending the extra class tomorrow. However, if I decided not to go, I'll be dead one way or another. I'll will be interrogated with a "bonus". So, if I attend, I'll be dead. If I don't attend, I'll be dead. So how? Well, If I don't attend, I will be slaughtered and dead. So, I better attend. Oh dear..... I'M REALLY AFRAID!!! help me..... I just hope I wont cry tomorrow. Well, after all I do deserve it. I mean... WE deserve it.

Okay, here's one more thing I want to talk about and I'm really serious about this. SPM is in 4 more weeks. I am doubting myself whether I am able to survive this challenge. I'm afraid of this more than anything else now. I don't know how to describe this feeling that is disturbing inside of me. I may not be the smartest person class or anywhere else, but I do have the determination to strive hard for what I want in life. I'm just really worried and nervous. I can't accept the fact that I'm sitting for SPM. I can't accept the fact that its my last year of my high school years. I can't accept the fact that I have only 4 more weeks to study with all my friends, go to tuition classes together, joke around with each other in class, complain together and enjoy each other's company. As much as I want to leave high school, I don't want to leave it yet. So many things happened and I'm not sure if I'm ready to set it free. I'm not sure if I'm ready for all these changes. ah.... Change. Its part and parcel of growing up. Everything has to change. There's so much to say. Well, sorry for being such an oxymoron. 

I feel like an oxymoron now. I don't know why. 

ps : I'm really afraid to go to school tomorrow.

Denise on a Tuesday.

Today was just another ordinary day. *phone rings* half awake. *phone kept ringing* I slammed my head back on my pillow. 5 minutes later... *phone rings* Me, being really pissed, I offed my phone. Damn annoying wei. I dunno who called. I kept pressing cancel, cancel, cancel. So, it didn't appear on my miss call list. What a way to start my day.

I was supposed to wake up at 8 for jogging. It failed. miserably. again. =.=" So, I slept until 12pm. Ate my breakfast or you can call it lunch or brunch. After I filled up my tummy, I cleaned my room and start reading Tuesday's with Morrie. I finished it! =D Another great masterpiece from Albom. Then, I start reading Da Vinci but I stopped at chapter 6. I couldn't digest anymore. Too much information that requires CTS(Critical Thinking Skills). Instead, I took a bath. I am very reluctant to use a hair dryer to dry my hair. Maybe its because I'm lazy to do it. 

After my bath, I tried to study. 1 hour later.... *listens to the radio* 
I was talking to myself. omg... what a boring day. I can't tahan sitting down in my room all day. So, I called my mum and told her I'm going to Ampang Point to entertain myself and get myself another novel to read. I spent about 2 hours at popular bookshop reading. I bought a pair of shoes from Bata. (why is this happening to me? When I'm shopping, I can't find anything. But, when I do not plan to shop, all the things I want kept appearing like mushrooms) ugh.

1 message. 
hey, wanna go out for a movie? 

A-ha! There..... something interesting. So, I tagged along to Galaxy and watched Eagle Eye. Damn. Its really good but very cliche. If you've watched I-robot or Stealth, this movie is no stranger. The storyline is about the same but a little different. I rate it 8/10. If you love cars, planes, lorries, trucks crashing each other. If you love technology. If you love explosions. If you love weapons and action. Watch it. =D 

I met Lynna, Lilian and their parents at Galaxy. When I saw them and when they saw us, they ran away. lol

Well, to sum it up, my day wasn't as bad as I expected. Tomorrow is a public holiday. So, I would like to wish Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to all Malaysians. =D Have a safe journey home, drink coffee, eat lots of ketupat, rendang, kuih raya and collect your duit raya

My school is closed for 1 week. What am I supposed to do at home? lol. Study? duhhh.... Relax? Definitely. 

Oh yeah. While I was bored, I was trying to make a ribbon like this.


But.... It turned out like this.



Looks ok huh??



I'm almost done.


Ok. I'm stuck. I can't do anymore. Its too hard.



LOL. It did not work. Its looks like a DURIAN NOW!
a purple durian.

Well, at least I gave it a try although it did not turn out perfectly. I know what I did there was wrong. Wrong technique. Someone teach me how to do this, please. =)

Before I say Goodnight, I'll leave you with another picture.

I love my bracelet. It sparkles!

Of novels, money and shopping.

There was something wrong with my previous post which causes some weird arrangement of my blog content. So, I decided to delete it and it's back to normal now. For the past 2 days, I've been spending my time with my aunties. One of my auntie(my mum's sister) drove down all the way to KL from Sitiawan, Perak. They are here to send their maid to the airport for a short holiday. So, I get to meet my young cousins. =DD 

They are really adorable but they can be very annoying. Especially the girls. They kept asking me to watch tv with them and play hide and seek. Haha. I don't mind playing with them at all. Actually, I do enjoy spending my time with them and spoil them. Their definition of tv is cartoons. ah, who cares? Its Tom and Jerry. I loved watching T&J even though the violence never make sense. I love kids. I know taking care of one kid is a heavy responsibility and it tires you most of the time.

I've been living with a dog or puppy (I'm not sure). A brown Shih Tzu. =) Shih Tzu means Lion dog in Chinese. They received that name because of their long, flowing mane-like hair. It belongs to my auntie and she named it Brownie. Brownie is a very intelligent, active, adorable, playful and has a wet nose/face. It gets really excited when there is someone new. She will start licking and sniffing them (this includes me) or sometimes even nibble your toe. I want a pet dog but it's impossible for me to have one now. Unless I got it as a present. haha. My mum don't like pets and my house is too small to keep a dog larger than a shih tzu. There are a few reasons why I want one. 

other than that, I was out shopping with my aunties at KLCC and Sungai Wang. I bought a few things from Esprit, Chameleon, and Metrojaya. NO, I did not shop till' I drop. I'm on a tight budget now. I spent about RM 140 on the things I bought. Its not much but actually I bought most of my clothes using vouchers. My aunties, my mum and I spent about RM300 worth of vouchers. haha. =D So, basically, I got some of my clothes for free. Thanks to Metrojaya and their membership card. Every RM 10 you spend, you'll get 1 point. That 1 point is equivalent to RM 1. So, you do the math. 

***

I'm so relieved that my trials SPM is over! Currently, I'm having a one week break. I have nothing much to blog about. I want to finish up all my novels. Currently, I'm reading Mitch albom's Tuesday's with Morrie. Next in line is Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code and Cecelia Ahern's Thanks For the Memories. Vi asked me, "what took you so long to read Tuesday's with Morries? How thick is that book anyway? I finished Da Vinci Code in 2 days!" LOL. I bought Tuesday's with Morrie a month ago and we were having our trials remember?? swt. Anyway, I'm gonna continue reading now.

Hmmm.... Is today The Singapore National Grand Prix 2008 at Marina Bay, Singapore? lol.. I think it is. haha. I heard its beautiful and the race is at night. lol... It looks interesting and different.

Tuesday, 23 September 2008

Hang on. Just a few more days.
I can't take the pressure anymore! its too much. 
I got a few things I wanna do. 
One of them is revamp the background of this blog.

My metronome is nuts. Sometimes, it turns on by itself and *poof* its off again.

I just found out why I gained so much weight this year. its because I've not been practising my flute consistantly for the whole year.

Number 7
I've been sms-sing too much lately. lol... its not that I don't have enough money. I'm just afraid i might be addicted or being too attached to my phone. So far, i'm not experiencing any of it. I need a new phone la..... eish.... my inbox is way too full now.

Sunday Morning.

Miss me?? XD It seems that now I can only update my blog once a week. I wouldn't want the exams solely be the reason for me not blogging. Currently, I don't have any papers to sit for today, tomorrow and also the day after. =D But, my paper will resume on Thursday onwards.

Last week has been a really stressful week for me. All the writing papers like BM, English, History, Moral and EST. Not having enough sleep is also one of them. 
Since its a fasting month, my after school schedule has been really troublesome. 
Well, the worst would be on Thursday since I have to walk to Prestasi because I have no transport to get there. So, I have to walk with Vi and Khai Wen. I got out of the house late because I was searching for my phone that went MIA(missing in action). I tried calling my phone using the house phone like countless of times.

Finaly, I found it. It was burried in my cupboard under a pile of clothes. Hm... I think its more like a hill coz theres too many clothes lying all around. =.=" lol... i had to rush out. walk to Prestasi. One hour later, walk to Dinamik from Prestasi for Physics tuition. lol...

Anyway, I had a really great weekend despite the exam fever that is still lingering. I would really like to thank everyone who made the effort to wish me Happy Birthday. =D Its one of the most meaningful birthday for me. 

How did I celebrate my birthday this year??

For the past 2 years, I would throw a party and invited some friends over at my place. Well, this year I decided not to have one. All I want is just a simple birthday but at the same time, celebrate it in my own way. Just the way I wanted it. =) Well, probably I would throw a post birthday celebration after my trials. JUST MAYBE.... I may not do it too since I don't have anything in mind besides my exams coming up soon.

Well, the main reason I'm writing this post is to thank everyone who remembered. =) 

My parents most importantly. I got some casy from them.. hehe...

Vinaya and Khai Wen who got a bracelet for me. (i'll insert the picture soon)
I love it so much! *kisses the bracelet* It has my name on it!!! =DDD

Nick who wrote a Birthday poem for me weeks earlier. That's really thoughtful of you.. The poem was really meaningful and yet its your first time writing one.

Wai Min, who was really eager to be the first to wish me. =D yeah, you are the first along with vinaya.

Vishana for the roses and a unique birthday wish. =)

Duncan, who sang me a song through Facebook just like every other year. and also for calling me early in the morning with a groggy voice just to wish me happy birthday.

Dinie, who wished me twice. haha!

What about now?

Since tmr I'll be sitting for my EST trials paper, so i guess its ok to blog a little bit here. XDXD
After days of sleepless nights of studying, I realised that theres no use sleeping early and waking up too early like... 3am? just to study. I ended up sleeping all the way till 6am. =.="

So, here's my post for the week. Its about the INTI College Challange. that our school won.
I'm here to present you 4 minute video. =) MUST WATCH!



i look weird in the video. =.="
Whatever it is, just enjoy the video. =) All of us worked out butss off doing this you know.
All the scolding, yelling, screaming, stress!!
Seriously! We keep change the scripts like.... a million times???
But the best part is, all of us had fun working together as a class. =)
20 people. 2 dramas. 2 weeks(writing the scripts, acting it out, practice after practice).
tooo much fun! and stress. XD.
This concludes that we work best under stress. I think.


Captain Jack and I

You know, I don't really mind whats going on in my life now. It's been going smoothly so far. =DD
I'm happy about one thing though. I feel free.. and and i love it. 
I've never felt like this before. I don't have to worry so much anymore. I just wanna do what I wanna do right now. I'll never let anything else bother me because it wont.

I seriously love Chris Daughtry's songs. >.<
I love all of it!!!!!

But theres one song that has been ringing in my head for so many months now.
Which is : Over You.

I have to say that that song really suits the situation I'm facing right now. 

ok..me gtg right now.

You're my sunshine after the rain.

Do You know?

It has been raining everyday?????!!?

I love it and I hate it.

Love it : 

Its nice to take afternoon naps on a cold day. =) (i have to stop doing this)
coz once i sleep in the afternoon, theres no way you can wake me up. You'll end up getting scolded or i wont layan you at all. XD
 
Although its cold, but it makes me feel really cozy under my blanket.
I hardly sweat (dont think i'm lazy to bathe, coz I'm not)
I sleep better.
I feel really fresh in the morning.

Hate it :

Its too freaking cold sometimes! Especially today in school...
I slept in class today while teacher is teaching. The best thing is, I was sitting on the 1st row. XD

Its really unfortunate to walk to tuition in the rain or after raining.
A Car(especially) will "purposely" speed up when they see a huge puddle of water and "wushhhhhhhhhhh!!".
There I was, running for my life. I got wet anyway. Inconsiderate people!!
These drivers really love making pedestrians life miserable don't they?? grrr...

It makes me lazy to study. =.="

traffic jams.

ok..i'm freezing cold now. and I love the whether anyway. I hope it stays like that.
btw, I don't know why I put my post title like that. XD
I like that song by 98 degrees..

PS : How fat is fat??? I mean, how do you classify a person is fat??

Google Chrome

I bet some of you might know about the latest software created by Google.

Yes, I like the name of it.

Google Chrome.

Sounds really stylish and sophisticated. XD. Well, I never knew anything about this until Wai Min told me about it. So, I decided to check it out. It seems that its better than Mozilla Firefox. XD

20 minutes ago, I was using Mozilla Firefox. Of all the search engines so far. The best would be Mozilla Firefox. I really hate using Internet Explorer (IE) to the core.

It has tons of pop ups
Opening a new tab takes longer time than mozilla. (i'm quite impatient)
and..so far thats all... Nothing much but I hate it anyway. XD

So, now, I've found a better software.

Google Chrome....

Don't you just love the name of it??? I do... =D

I haven't explore it thoroughly yet.. But, I really like it.

Incognito window!

This software is a free and an open source web browser developed by Google.
It was launched 2 days ago, 3rd September 2008. Well, currently, I'm only using the BETA version of it for Microsoft Windows only. Unfortunately, for Mac OS X and Linux users, you people have to wait for it to be released... well... soon... XDXD

You can read more about it here..

All I can say is, Hey there Chrome! and see ya around, Mozilla... XD
I still like Mozilla.. Just that, its my 2nd best option now.

***

*edits* 9.45p.m

I just got home from tuition and watched the news.
I was damn pissed at it. read KennySia's post to find out more.
What's gonna happen to our country?? 
As much as I wanna voice out my opinion on this, I better not. 
But, I too geram already now... 
Damn racist wei!! >.< !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol... I have school tmr. =.="
I am feeling the stress now. shit.
trials spm is starting next Monday onwards.
However, next week would be alright. Its the 3rd week of exams that I have to worry about more.

Actually, I have nothing to blog about. Nothing really big happened this week.
Nothing that really caught my attention to blog about.
Except Google Chrome la... XD
So, I'll rest my case here.
I shall glue myself on my study table and my books. @.@.
Anyone would wanna un-glue me from it?? XD

What is gotong-royong in English??

See how fast 1 week is? You see how time flies?? This also mean I have 3 more weeks. Wait, I can't just SEE how time flies. ugh. forget that. I can't believe it. My high school years are almost over. I may not know how I feel now because the only feeling I have now has made me forget certain things and absorb more things which I will need to use them to determine my tomorrow.

So, Kok Siang has been carrying his camera along with him this week. Taking pictures and videos of our class. haha. You know how much I love the camera right?? *evil laughs* I was nicknamed as "the poser". I could detect a camera from far away with the receptors on my face. When that happens, my brain will be on auto-mode, that is getting ready for the camera. I can't help it okay!! Its like a reflex action/involuntary action. I don't know whether or not if I am a camwhore, who cares! I like taking pictures, whether I look ugly or weird in it. Its a lifetime memory.

I think I should bring my camera too. However, I would face another problem like what Kok Siang and Jian is facing right now. ugh.

After reading Kok Siang's post, it makes it so much harder to leave school. ....
As I was watching the video, I was like "omg. i hope he didn't put it in"
After watching the whole thing, I was so relieved. hehehe.
But, its ok la... I wont be angry or anything. Instead, I will be laughing my heart out.

I was just wondering. Who else is going for the Kasturi Tuition Centre SPM Seminar?? Cause, I'll be going on the weekends. XD. Who knows, I might bump into anyone I know.

Oh yeah, I met a long lost friend. How long if you might want to know? Okay. It was 10 years ago. I did not find her. She found me instead. She was one of the people I remember really well when I was studying in Cheras in Standard 1. We were in the same school but different class. (Back then, there are 13 standard 1 classes. I could not recall which class I was) We hung out together during recess and after school either of us will go to each other's houses and finish up our homework and talk all day. We were always talking. Although, I was not a social butterfly back then, I was a chatterbox around her. Talked in the car, recess, moral studies class, phone or anywhere. We were called the Double D's since our initials starts with a D.
All the memories with her are now starting to pour like hot soup. Warm. Refreshing. and wow. However, I could not remember saying Goodbye to her. I could not remember whether I told her that I moved to Ampang. I could not remember the last day I spent with her. Don't get me wrong alright? She was one of my good friends I had. We always get picked and teased in school for being weird. (I don't know what so weird about me/us back then)
I was quite surprised when she messaged me. I tried calling her when I moved to Ampang, but after some time, we drifted apart. I was truly overjoyed when I read her message and the fact that she still remembers me.
Well, I guess it was never a goodbye after all. =)
We grew up and became different people.

Wai min, I'm lazy to do the tag right now. I'll just do it another time, alright? =)
I can't think about answering any questions besides questions that are study-related.

*phone call*

"hello?"
"Denise, what is "gotong-royong" in English??"
"*blur, thinking* uhhhh....."
"I need it now! I don't have a dictionary"
" I can't think right now!!!"
" okok, why don't you call me back later and check it out for me okay? It's important!!"

What was I supposed to do??? LOL. I was so engross studying world history and writing an essay. All of the sudden, you called me and ask me what is gotong-royong in English??? LOL. crap. I might need this in my English essay and now, I already forgot what is gotong-royong in English. ps: I wonder what so important about the needing the word gotong-royong in English for.. ah, I wasn't bothered to ask any further.

That is all for now. Stay tuned till' next week(or maybe not) for more live and unexciting life of the goddess of wine(whine). haha.

Good night!

ps : I got no pictures now. My computer is squeaky clean now. NO pictures at all. I better start filling it up. well, soon.... (I wonder how soon is soon)

Life is so funny.

Hello earthlings. It has been ages, I know. I was busy and I am still busy. Yes, Kok Siang was right about my computer. BUT, not about me, "downloading naughty things"- Its an internal joke. I'm a good girl with evil intentions! muahahaha..... Just kidding. Its not really a bad thing that my computer was spoiled. It actually helps a lot. =D Just that, now that I don't use it and I don't watch television. Instead, I channel my communication through sms's, phone calls and the radio.

What was I doing the whole week?
Go to school, tuition, eat, sleep, bathe, study and study. That's about it. Nothing else. No television and no computer. Basically, this process repeats itself everyday. Its driving me nuts! Good for me.. I am already crazy. Go ask...

Anyway, I was walking to one of my friends one night. I don't know who started it but I think it was me because I was all emo and talking like a mad woman all of the sudden. None of us are sad but we were just talking and exchanging thought about being a guy and being a girl. Life is so funny. hehe. In fact, I found out something about guys. Its not shocking or anything. Just something that I never knew. Well, our conversation was left hanging since I was already asleep. It was 2am already.

I got my trials exam results and I am slightly disappointed with it. Some are excellent! but, the others are just... bad. One thing is for sure, I did not fail any of the subjects that I took. I got an A1 for Bahasa Melayu, English, Mathematics, and Moral. An A2 for EST and Biology. The others are lower than an A2. hehehe.

I had a haircut on Wednesday. I feel so much better now as my head is lighter than before. It's like a start of something new. I like it.

This week, I was being asked 3 questions. Not just ordinary questions.

First Question : What food that transforms from a liquid state to a solid state when it is heated?

This question was posted by my tuition Chemistry teacher. To my surprise, I could not answer it. Actually, the whole class could not answer it. haha. The answer made me feel so dumb. Anyway. Try answering this question and leave the answer on this post and not on my cbox.

Second Question : What century are we in now???

*slaps forehead* Well, a friend of mine asked me this question. I was surprised that he doesn't know what century are we in now. haha! We're in the 21st century!!!! LOL. I can't stop laughing!

Third Question : Sakai, What are you?? Mangsa Tsunami ar?? Like never eat for 10 days like that! If you're hungry at the correct times, its ok. But you are hungry all the time.. omg. What is wrong with you??

Okay, that was extracted from one of my sms's. hahaha. I've been constantly eating like there is no tomorrow. I can't help it okay. I just need to munch on something. haha. Wanna know what I replied?
"I can't help it. Maybe its my hormones or I'm pregnant. Hmmm... That explain my tummy."
I was joking alright. XD

A week ago, a few of my friends and I crashed at my place. We ate, laughed, joked and talked about random things. We did some crazy things as usual. Some of it made me laugh so hard that I could die. haha. Good times. I have the urge to blog about it but, I'll just pass.

Someone owes me a video and pictures (you people know who you are). I got a video and more pictures upload, but I'm lazy. So, I'll just post some pictures.

Vi, Kok and I at the carpark downstairs my house.
We look like sakai's(according to the dark dude in this picture)


Don't you just love tha rain??


These 2 clowns/sakai's- (that is what they call themselves) went camping and they did not sleep well at all.


Another clown. I did not have enough sleep.

Oh yeah....
Thank you so much for the beautiful rose!! =D
I love it so much!!!
Don't mind the backgrouns and the stuffs around it.
There's a story behind it. XD

I don't understand something.  First, I was being "questioned" (figuratively and literally) about the "choices" ( theres a list) I've made. I wanted to say I have my own reasons. However, I don't think I should put it that way. In actual fact, I have the rights to remain silent(haha) and I don't have to answer your "question". Second, you don't have to spoil my friendship with people. Its immature. Third, get the hell out of my social life and let me live my own life. To "XYZ"(whoever you are), What the f*** have I ever did to you?! I apologise for my language but you've just popped my bubble. I value certain things in my life. Yeah, talk about "people deserve a second chance?"  let's imagine this senario "ohh.... I did this mistake once and I deserve a second chance". Not everyone/everything deserves a second chance. I totally understand people do mistakes. But WHEN the "second chance" is abused? what will you do? My principle of forgiveness is simple, Forgive, put the past behind you but always remember them. As George Santayana once said "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it".(The Life of Reason, Volume 1:1905). You can find this on your Form 4 and Form 5 History text books at the beginning of every chapter. It is located at the bottom of the page. 
Well, I have nothing against "XYZ" now or in the future. Unless I'm being provoked (To incite to anger or resentment). Its not worth it at all. To be honest, I don't feel happy doing it. I might enjoy watching you angry but what's the use? I have better things to do. So, just move on with your life and let me lead my own life.

I'm Afraid

I don't know whether is there something wrong with me or is it just the weather? I'm officially having fever. AGAIN. This is the 3rd time of the year! What is wrong with me? gosh. I had sore throat twice this year. I just recovered from one of them 2 weeks ago and now I'm not feeling well again. This time, I almost have flu. I was supposed to go to one of my teacher's house for raya but, I could not make it because I feel like crap and I don't feel like going out.

Maybe its the weather. One day its hot and the next day is cold. Its driving me crazy. I can't tahan with the sudden change of the weather. Well, its global warming.  Hmm... I was watching Ellen Degeneres Talk Show today and I'm starting to love it. I do watch it almost everyday if I happen to come across that programme on channel 711. So yeah, today she was talking about animal extinction. For instance, Over 120 species of frogs are already extinct for the past 10 years. About 200 more species of frogs will extinct in 20 years in the future. Well, if my memory servers me right, that's what I remembered. Its really shocking to not know about this before.

I'm having mixed emotions now. Sometimes I'm happy. Sometimes I'm emo. Sometimes I'm just not interested. Sometimes I'm emotionless. Sometimes I'm just plain blur. what the... ok.. Sometimes, I'm odd. Don't worry.. I'm not crazy.Although there's a high chance for me to go cuckoo in a few more days or in a week.

I have extra class in school tomorrow. I'm so dead. Don't worry, I wont die. I'll survive. I'm really afraid to go to school tomorrow. SERIOUSLY! I'M NOT JOKING! I'm really afraid. I will have to face the music. I have the choice of not attending the extra class tomorrow. However, if I decided not to go, I'll be dead one way or another. I'll will be interrogated with a "bonus". So, if I attend, I'll be dead. If I don't attend, I'll be dead. So how? Well, If I don't attend, I will be slaughtered and dead. So, I better attend. Oh dear..... I'M REALLY AFRAID!!! help me..... I just hope I wont cry tomorrow. Well, after all I do deserve it. I mean... WE deserve it.

Okay, here's one more thing I want to talk about and I'm really serious about this. SPM is in 4 more weeks. I am doubting myself whether I am able to survive this challenge. I'm afraid of this more than anything else now. I don't know how to describe this feeling that is disturbing inside of me. I may not be the smartest person class or anywhere else, but I do have the determination to strive hard for what I want in life. I'm just really worried and nervous. I can't accept the fact that I'm sitting for SPM. I can't accept the fact that its my last year of my high school years. I can't accept the fact that I have only 4 more weeks to study with all my friends, go to tuition classes together, joke around with each other in class, complain together and enjoy each other's company. As much as I want to leave high school, I don't want to leave it yet. So many things happened and I'm not sure if I'm ready to set it free. I'm not sure if I'm ready for all these changes. ah.... Change. Its part and parcel of growing up. Everything has to change. There's so much to say. Well, sorry for being such an oxymoron. 

I feel like an oxymoron now. I don't know why. 

ps : I'm really afraid to go to school tomorrow. 

Denise on a Tuesday.

Today was just another ordinary day. *phone rings* half awake. *phone kept ringing* I slammed my head back on my pillow. 5 minutes later... *phone rings* Me, being really pissed, I offed my phone. Damn annoying wei. I dunno who called. I kept pressing cancel, cancel, cancel. So, it didn't appear on my miss call list. What a way to start my day.

I was supposed to wake up at 8 for jogging. It failed. miserably. again. =.=" So, I slept until 12pm. Ate my breakfast or you can call it lunch or brunch. After I filled up my tummy, I cleaned my room and start reading Tuesday's with Morrie. I finished it! =D Another great masterpiece from Albom. Then, I start reading Da Vinci but I stopped at chapter 6. I couldn't digest anymore. Too much information that requires CTS(Critical Thinking Skills). Instead, I took a bath. I am very reluctant to use a hair dryer to dry my hair. Maybe its because I'm lazy to do it. 

After my bath, I tried to study. 1 hour later.... *listens to the radio* 
I was talking to myself. omg... what a boring day. I can't tahan sitting down in my room all day. So, I called my mum and told her I'm going to Ampang Point to entertain myself and get myself another novel to read. I spent about 2 hours at popular bookshop reading. I bought a pair of shoes from Bata. (why is this happening to me? When I'm shopping, I can't find anything. But, when I do not plan to shop, all the things I want kept appearing like mushrooms) ugh.

1 message. 
hey, wanna go out for a movie? 

A-ha! There..... something interesting. So, I tagged along to Galaxy and watched Eagle Eye. Damn. Its really good but very cliche. If you've watched I-robot or Stealth, this movie is no stranger. The storyline is about the same but a little different. I rate it 8/10. If you love cars, planes, lorries, trucks crashing each other. If you love technology. If you love explosions. If you love weapons and action. Watch it. =D 

I met Lynna, Lilian and their parents at Galaxy. When I saw them and when they saw us, they ran away. lol

Well, to sum it up, my day wasn't as bad as I expected. Tomorrow is a public holiday. So, I would like to wish Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to all Malaysians. =D Have a safe journey home, drink coffee, eat lots of ketupat, rendang, kuih raya and collect your duit raya

My school is closed for 1 week. What am I supposed to do at home? lol. Study? duhhh.... Relax? Definitely. 

Oh yeah. While I was bored, I was trying to make a ribbon like this.


But.... It turned out like this.



Looks ok huh??



I'm almost done.


Ok. I'm stuck. I can't do anymore. Its too hard.



LOL. It did not work. Its looks like a DURIAN NOW!
a purple durian.

Well, at least I gave it a try although it did not turn out perfectly. I know what I did there was wrong. Wrong technique. Someone teach me how to do this, please. =)

Before I say Goodnight, I'll leave you with another picture.

I love my bracelet. It sparkles!


Denise.

Of novels, money and shopping.

There was something wrong with my previous post which causes some weird arrangement of my blog content. So, I decided to delete it and it's back to normal now. For the past 2 days, I've been spending my time with my aunties. One of my auntie(my mum's sister) drove down all the way to KL from Sitiawan, Perak. They are here to send their maid to the airport for a short holiday. So, I get to meet my young cousins. =DD 

They are really adorable but they can be very annoying. Especially the girls. They kept asking me to watch tv with them and play hide and seek. Haha. I don't mind playing with them at all. Actually, I do enjoy spending my time with them and spoil them. Their definition of tv is cartoons. ah, who cares? Its Tom and Jerry. I loved watching T&J even though the violence never make sense. I love kids. I know taking care of one kid is a heavy responsibility and it tires you most of the time.

I've been living with a dog or puppy (I'm not sure). A brown Shih Tzu. =) Shih Tzu means Lion dog in Chinese. They received that name because of their long, flowing mane-like hair. It belongs to my auntie and she named it Brownie. Brownie is a very intelligent, active, adorable, playful and has a wet nose/face. It gets really excited when there is someone new. She will start licking and sniffing them (this includes me) or sometimes even nibble your toe. I want a pet dog but it's impossible for me to have one now. Unless I got it as a present. haha. My mum don't like pets and my house is too small to keep a dog larger than a shih tzu. There are a few reasons why I want one. 

other than that, I was out shopping with my aunties at KLCC and Sungai Wang. I bought a few things from Esprit, Chameleon, and Metrojaya. NO, I did not shop till' I drop. I'm on a tight budget now. I spent about RM 140 on the things I bought. Its not much but actually I bought most of my clothes using vouchers. My aunties, my mum and I spent about RM300 worth of vouchers. haha. =D So, basically, I got some of my clothes for free. Thanks to Metrojaya and their membership card. Every RM 10 you spend, you'll get 1 point. That 1 point is equivalent to RM 1. So, you do the math. 

***

I'm so relieved that my trials SPM is over! Currently, I'm having a one week break. I have nothing much to blog about. I want to finish up all my novels. Currently, I'm reading Mitch albom's Tuesday's with Morrie. Next in line is Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code and Cecelia Ahern's Thanks For the Memories. Vi asked me, "what took you so long to read Tuesday's with Morries? How thick is that book anyway? I finished Da Vinci Code in 2 days!" LOL. I bought Tuesday's with Morrie a month ago and we were having our trials remember?? swt. Anyway, I'm gonna continue reading now.

Hmmm.... Is today The Singapore National Grand Prix 2008 at Marina Bay, Singapore? lol.. I think it is. haha. I heard its beautiful and the race is at night. lol... It looks interesting and different.

Hang on. Just a few more days.
I can't take the pressure anymore! its too much. 
I got a few things I wanna do. 
One of them is revamp the background of this blog.

Numbers *updated*

Here's a quick update.

Number 1
I just discovered I'm not allergic to prawns anymore. That means I'm not allergic to other seafood anymore! Muahahaha!!! I'm quite happy about this although I still have doubts eating it after all the years trying to avoid it.. 

Number 2
I love sleeping with a very dim light on. It makes me feel so homey and cosy. =) 

Number 3
I don't like using Facebook and Friendster. I hardly use them anymore. =.=" 
Facebook is like a plate of spagatthi with chocolate, marshmallows and eggs. Yes, this does not make sense, I know that. But that the point, its messy.

I just found out why I gained so much weight this year. its because I've not been practising my flute consistantly for the whole year.

"woi! tak puasa ke!??"

Do I not look like a Chinese??? or maybe you're just pointing out the fact that I need to lose some weight?

Dammit!!! grrrrr............ I'm so disappointed.... >.<
Looks like I'll have to wait for another month. 
WTH!!! 

gaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!! eeeee!!!

I think I laugh too much today. my cheeks still hurts. and now my jaw hurts too... ate too much muruku.

*updates*

my teeth hurts and I got sore throat thanks to... whoever that gave it to me... 
I got Bio paper on Thursday.
i can't freaking eat properly now!
I'm annoyed.

Sunday Morning.

Miss me?? XD It seems that now I can only update my blog once a week. I wouldn't want the exams solely be the reason for me not blogging. Currently, I don't have any papers to sit for today, tomorrow and also the day after. =D But, my paper will resume on Thursday onwards.

Last week has been a really stressful week for me. All the writing papers like BM, English, History, Moral and EST. Not having enough sleep is also one of them. 
Since its a fasting month, my after school schedule has been really troublesome. 
Well, the worst would be on Thursday since I have to walk to Prestasi because I have no transport to get there. So, I have to walk with Vi and Khai Wen. I got out of the house late because I was searching for my phone that went MIA(missing in action). I tried calling my phone using the house phone like countless of times.

Finaly, I found it. It was burried in my cupboard under a pile of clothes. Hm... I think its more like a hill coz theres too many clothes lying all around. =.=" lol... i had to rush out. walk to Prestasi. One hour later, walk to Dinamik from Prestasi for Physics tuition. lol...

Anyway, I had a really great weekend despite the exam fever that is still lingering. I would really like to thank everyone who made the effort to wish me Happy Birthday. =D Its one of the most meaningful birthday for me. 

How did I celebrate my birthday this year??

For the past 2 years, I would throw a party and invited some friends over at my place. Well, this year I decided not to have one. All I want is just a simple birthday but at the same time, celebrate it in my own way. Just the way I wanted it. =) Well, probably I would throw a post birthday celebration after my trials. JUST MAYBE.... I may not do it too since I don't have anything in mind besides my exams coming up soon.

Well, the main reason I'm writing this post is to thank everyone who remembered. =) 

My parents most importantly. I got some casy from them.. hehe...

Vinaya and Khai Wen who got a bracelet for me. (i'll insert the picture soon)
I love it so much! *kisses the bracelet* It has my name on it!!! =DDD

Nick who wrote a Birthday poem for me weeks earlier. That's really thoughtful of you.. The poem was really meaningful and yet its your first time writing one.

Wai Min, who was really eager to be the first to wish me. =D yeah, you are the first along with vinaya.

Vishana for the roses and a unique birthday wish. =)

Duncan, who sang me a song through Facebook just like every other year. and also for calling me early in the morning with a groggy voice just to wish me happy birthday.

Dinie, who wished me twice. haha!

Jian, who also wanted to be the first to wish me. =D I really appreciate that.

Ji Mi... *AHEM* let me highlight this...
WHO REMEMBERED MY BIRTHDAY FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!!! XD even if its 3 a.m in the morning. =.="

and also the others... like

Joon Hong, Derrick, John, Muthalib, Adeline, Kenny, James, Chang Fei, Arvindt, Alicia, Kok Siang, Wai Cheng, uhhhhhh...................... my cousins, aunty, errr.... I can't remember!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol! and also everyone else who I forgot to mention. lol...

Here are a few pictures I would like to share. =)


I got to know her from debate back in Kuala Selangor Finals.





Thank you!!








These are the ppl who calls me DD and they are the only ones aloowed to call me by that.
Ji Mi, JH and PJ. XD
because you guys came up with that name.

Theres more like the poem, weird way of wishing me, msgs, calls. But, that all.. =)
I truly appreciate all the birthday wishes. It was really thoughtful of all of you.

Having to wake up in the morning with birthday wishes was really delightful.
and a great way to start a day. =)
especially on a Sunday Morning.
Remember the song? By maroon 5? hehe. One of my favourites.

THANK YOU EVRYONE!!!!
*Hugs and Kisses*

What about now?

Since tmr I'll be sitting for my EST trials paper, so i guess its ok to blog a little bit here. XDXD
After days of sleepless nights of studying, I realised that theres no use sleeping early and waking up too early like... 3am? just to study. I ended up sleeping all the way till 6am. =.="

So, here's my post for the week. Its about the INTI College Challange. that our school won.
I'm here to present you 4 minute video. =) MUST WATCH!



i look weird in the video. =.="
Whatever it is, just enjoy the video. =) All of us worked out butss off doing this you know.
All the scolding, yelling, screaming, stress!!
Seriously! We keep change the scripts like.... a million times???
But the best part is, all of us had fun working together as a class. =)
20 people. 2 dramas. 2 weeks(writing the scripts, acting it out, practice after practice).
tooo much fun! and stress. XD.
This concludes that we work best under stress. I think.


Captain Jack and I

You know, I don't really mind whats going on in my life now. It's been going smoothly so far. =DD
I'm happy about one thing though. I feel free.. and and i love it. 
I've never felt like this before. I don't have to worry so much anymore. I just wanna do what I wanna do right now. I'll never let anything else bother me because it wont.

I seriously love Chris Daughtry's songs. >.<
I love all of it!!!!!

But theres one song that has been ringing in my head for so many months now.
Which is : Over You.

I have to say that that song really suits the situation I'm facing right now. 

ok..me gtg right now. 


You're my sunshine after the rain.

Do You know?

It has been raining everyday?????!!?

I love it and I hate it.

Love it : 

Its nice to take afternoon naps on a cold day. =) (i have to stop doing this)
coz once i sleep in the afternoon, theres no way you can wake me up. You'll end up getting scolded or i wont layan you at all. XD
 
Although its cold, but it makes me feel really cozy under my blanket.
I hardly sweat (dont think i'm lazy to bathe, coz I'm not)
I sleep better.
I feel really fresh in the morning.

Hate it :

Its too freaking cold sometimes! Especially today in school...
I slept in class today while teacher is teaching. The best thing is, I was sitting on the 1st row. XD

Its really unfortunate to walk to tuition in the rain or after raining.
A Car(especially) will "purposely" speed up when they see a huge puddle of water and "wushhhhhhhhhhh!!".
There I was, running for my life. I got wet anyway. Inconsiderate people!!
These drivers really love making pedestrians life miserable don't they?? grrr...

It makes me lazy to study. =.="

traffic jams.

ok..i'm freezing cold now. and I love the whether anyway. I hope it stays like that.
btw, I don't know why I put my post title like that. XD
I like that song by 98 degrees..

PS : How fat is fat??? I mean, how do you classify a person is fat??

Google Chrome

I bet some of you might know about the latest software created by Google.

Yes, I like the name of it.

Google Chrome.

Sounds really stylish and sophisticated. XD. Well, I never knew anything about this until Wai Min told me about it. So, I decided to check it out. It seems that its better than Mozilla Firefox. XD

20 minutes ago, I was using Mozilla Firefox. Of all the search engines so far. The best would be Mozilla Firefox. I really hate using Internet Explorer (IE) to the core.

It has tons of pop ups
Opening a new tab takes longer time than mozilla. (i'm quite impatient)
and..so far thats all... Nothing much but I hate it anyway. XD

So, now, I've found a better software.

Google Chrome....

Don't you just love the name of it??? I do... =D

I haven't explore it thoroughly yet.. But, I really like it.

Incognito window!

This software is a free and an open source web browser developed by Google.
It was launched 2 days ago, 3rd September 2008. Well, currently, I'm only using the BETA version of it for Microsoft Windows only. Unfortunately, for Mac OS X and Linux users, you people have to wait for it to be released... well... soon... XDXD

You can read more about it here..

All I can say is, Hey there Chrome! and see ya around, Mozilla... XD
I still like Mozilla.. Just that, its my 2nd best option now.

I just got home from tuition and watched the news.
I was damn pissed at it. read KennySia's post to find out more.
What's gonna happen to our country?? 
As much as I wanna voice out my opinion on this, I better not. 
But, I too geram already now... 
Damn racist wei!! >.< !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol... I have school tmr. =.="
I am feeling the stress now. shit.
trials spm is starting next Monday onwards.
However, next week would be alright. Its the 3rd week of exams that I have to worry about more.

Actually, I have nothing to blog about. Nothing really big happened this week.
Nothing that really caught my attention to blog about.
Except Google Chrome la... XD
So, I'll rest my case here.
I shall glue myself on my study table and my books. @.@.
Anyone would wanna un-glue me from it?? XD
