PheW!!! I'm all tired! We had this BORING seminar in school, mathematics, what?? Back home isn't any better either. Took the whole afternoon designing the school notice board. Walked over to a shop to buy some materials for work, came home and start drawing and cutting and writing and got stuck with loadsa gold dust all over me!! Now I'm extremely eager to go to school and get everything up the board for all to see and ADMIRE!!! But my soar throat is not cured yet due to on-tune singing at Joel's place. And I've got choir tomorrow! Nvm...I'll just lip twinch, stwinch, whatever it's called. Ah yes, I'll also like to make note that Malaysians are indeed very friendly and helpful. I got stuck in the middle of work today but things got patched up by Kenneth and er....Boon Lian! I never know the Head of Research has a secretary, never know Kwok Yeen is the form 5 representative. Seems like I've been in a "blur" state that I don't even know who are the committees. I'd better work things out before I'm totally lost...

Seesh! What a crooked day. I merely fell asleep during Literature class but Pn. Fang managed to crack some jokes that kept me awake. We had a squash and computer committee meeting at the canteen and that's one location I never like meeting at. For me, that's just a place to EAT and nothing more than filling myself up. Yen, Nurun and I went home and it was already late. My mom and I later travelled to PJ for some matter but the shop was closed so we drove all the way home and dropped by at the wet market to buy home some veges. But as we were at the "greens" stall, it started to rain! The umbrella we brought along was too small to accommodate two gigantic elephants and we were soaking wet under the rain, hurrying ourselves to the car. Soon after I'm done bathing, eating, watching tv and doing my homework, I got along the design for the computer club's notice board and I came up with this splendid idea that looks quite ordinary in the eyes of others. The phone rang while I was messy on my desk and it was Yen Kaye on the other line. She dailed the wrong number and it happened to be mine, looking for Jene! Oh but it was after all an OKAY day for me.

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, never let it fade away..
We were at Joel's house for a choir committee meeting this morning and was looking at photos taken at some occassions....
Kelly: Oh look, Hanson!
Yvonne: Who's that prefect sitting next to Grace?
Miss X: Dunno....
Yvonne: Look's like David Teoh...
Kelly: It IS David Teoh!!
Okay I admit being blur but hey! That guy has different looks everyday! Or perhaps the clothes he wear, his mood and the weather affects his looks. You just have to doubt it's him sometimes.

I switched on the computer and Bwahhh!!! ACCESS DENIED!! Nah just kidding. The setup gave me problems, the computer was set back to the year 1998 and I thought I was strucked by the y2k2 bug. :-Þ But all is fine now. I did some hocus pocus to the installation and here I am blogging again.

Take a look at this,
man. An evil day, today. I walked home and fell down in shame. A few lectures from Taylors and Inti College came to my aid. But none offered me a lift. Damn! So I had to limp myself home anyhow. The nice man at a stall gave me a plaster for my bruise and while resting on a chair, more lectures came to concern me. (some actually thought I was knocked down by a car!!!) Aren't Malaysians just so friendly? But again, none of them offered me a lift. *sob* I went home and rang the doorbell but no one was in and I didn't bring my keys so I limped over to the nearby stall opposite Sri KL and had a cup of teh-tarik-ice. The owner of the shop rares a cat and it regconises me. It cuddled slumberly in my arms while I sipped my drink in the humid Equator sun. Oh here I am now, blogging at home, thank goodness that I'm save and sound like always.
Okay I take back my words in the previous post. I've gone over it now, I'm the happy-go-lucky type of girl. I'm more concerned about something else now..
Oh anyhoo, we had PMD in school today. Self-development program and it stinks. Actually, I'm fine with it but just that it took over my English Literature class and that's why it stinks. Alicia wants to start a English Literature Society and yeah! that's cool! We can then compete with the English Debating Society. Hahaha! Such contreversy.

I'm hell tired, back from Mid Valley with Alicia. Shopping was fine and I especially enjoyed myself at MPH where I got to admire the VAIO C1 in a magazine, I didn't bought it though. It's not practical to buy it. However, we manage to buy a SEEDS shirt for Alicia's 3 year old cousin brother. What luxury, kids nowadays. But I did not go to the comics shop that David mentioned, too much time wasted in MPH. I also did not get my Harry Potter jelly beans. yum! But window shopping isn't bad. Oh dear, how much did I spend today?
Waking to an empty house with the lonesome me all by myself was certainly not what I expected. Hanny said she will wake me up for breakfast but she didn't. Instead she went out with her friend and both my parents are not at home. So I went to eat along at a nearby coffeeshop and bought RM10 worth scrungys. For those of you who don't know what scrungys are, they're used to tie long hair. right, you guessed it. My hair is long now! So after that I walked home and did some chores until Hanny came home and we both went to a nearby outlet to rent some comic books. On the way back, we ate ice-cream at McDs. I had a strawberry sundae cup while she had a vanilla cone. We also dropped by at Subang Square and got myself a telephone book and a spectacle case. Hanny got a pencil box for herself. It was a really nice afternoon, not having much sun above our heads but cool and breezy wind. And now...it's raining with storm so I better stop here and get off the net.

Oh what a day! School was pretty boring (as usual) but just that we had a comp club meeting and I was appointed as Vice President. Yen, Nurun and I later walked home and it started to rain on the way so we hurried to the nearest Bakery Shop to have some snacks. At around 5pm, I finally reached home and dried myself up. After all the scrubbing and chilling in the hot tub, I came online to update the school calendar and had a quick chat with David. Ofcourse, as one led to another, I next watched TV for about 2 hours or less with my family. While my dad continued watching the news, I went upstairs to finish up my homework. After all the tiring writing, I watched another show on tv and here I am now, blogging till this very minute. So I predict that the next thing I would do is to sleep on my cozy bed, curl up and dream till sunrise. Till then, it'll be Friday another boring day...

No Fair! No Fair! My mom is going to China for a holiday and I can't go along. Why? Why? She said I can go when I'm big enough to earn and pay for my own accomodation... duh!!! By then I won't want to go with her!!! No Fair!

I was shopping with some friends the other day and went browsing through some mp3s. Something caught my eye but I did not buy cuz my soundcard was giving me problems. But heck I actually forgotten that I DO have an mp3 player at home and I only thought of it today. SheEesHhhH!

Right, the first week of school is over. yea? Yea! But not as nostalgic anymore, having Florence in my class again. Hoe, poor me and my next two years in this class. She's not a bad friend but I hate being lied to and she gets jealous at me easily. -since she's no way reading this-
Yesterday was a chore. I helped Hanny with her work and that's when I really sweat. Today wasn't any better as I sorted out my load of story books, wrapped some school books, cleaned some dusty area in the house and practised music. Yen said my intonation is good. But I discouraged Hanny to take up violin. She think it is too difficult and yet she's a grade 8 in piano. But studies got into her way and she couldn't continue her music. Poor girl.... oh nevermind, she's taking up guitar! so, not all things we see as bad are bad!

VOLA!! My one-and-only English Literature class consist of 1 torn and 30 roses. How precise. Jie Yow is letting me use his books but I'll have to return it to him after my first year of 0 Level because he has a sister who is a year younger than me and will need the books. But I had to buy my Economics book from Rebecca since Jie Yow did not study the subject, he took science. You won't believe this. Yewin who promised to give me his books a year ago threw them away just when I am ready to "inherit" them. $^**#@$&())%#@!!!
Wednesday, January 09, 2002
Today's my first day of study. Everything went pretty fine and teachers were pleasant. I bought an English text book from Wei Jie early in the morning but found out later that the book is of no use at all. What a waste of money! Guess I'll just check out Yewin for his books. Recess is no longer my priority. We now have to share break time with the form 5s and there is no way for me to buy stuffs. The canteen is like a can of sardine, we're the sardines. Nako head Tremayne plotted a punch which didn't go onto my face. :-Þ~ What is all the use of those self-defense technique that I learnt for the last 4 years when I can't even reflex to his punch!?! But as a girl...I don't have to do much. Just shout HELP!!!!!!!!! and all guys in shiny armours will come to my aid. Hehehe!!!
The day started off pretty bad. I was given the stream that I applied for but not the class I was thinking of. This made me feel depressed and under-estimated. During recess, I twisted my ankle again, lost contrrol and fell down. Deary me! But my friends were kind to rush to my aid at once. Unlucky me, a few students that I do not like are in my class and I will have to live with them for my next two years of O Levels. After school, I returned home and ate lunch with Hanny. We had a 3-hour talk about the supernaturals and that gave me the goosebumps. When I was ready to leave for my violin lessons, it rained! So I stayed at home and watched TV instead. Then I called Wei Jie and he promised to sell my his books. HoE! Lucky me! After the conversation, I continued my tv program and had a shower during the news. In my pyjamas, I came online and read a mail from David telling me about his new life and thanks to that, ended my day well.............

PooweeeeY!! I'm back from the first day of school! It was boring actually. Like any Mondays, there was assembly and the floor was wet by last night's rain so we had to stand on our feets for about 1 hour. On top of that, we, the form 4 students were given a drastically long and boring lecture which lasted for 2 hours. But this time we were in the hall with a roof above our heads.
I get to meet my friends once again after two long months of holiday. You won't believe how I hate holidays. I wanted school badly and was very overwhelmed that school' starting. But I woke up this morning feeling a little unhappy 'cause I remembered that someone won't be in school anymore. *sob* During assembly, I literally scolded Alicia in public as she just couldn't stop asking me to mov in front. For goodness sake it wasn't me who's backing up but the guy was stepping forward and forward. The space was so close that if I move more I would have kissed him already.
Also, I nearly burnt a guys shirt in school this morning. He was standing diagonally in front of me and the sun was diagonally behind me. The image of the sun was reflected from my lense onto his shirt so small that it can afford to burn him up! I didn't want anything bad to happen on the first day so I had to move about from time to time. How troublesome.
Our two-days-temporary-class is in block A while the class of the guy whom Florence admires is right opposite ours and so.....well, she just coudln't keep her eyes off him. Especially when his seat is so visual strategic. We even joked that she should have brought her binoculars. Hahaha!
Oh hell! I forgot to look for that fella in 3 Gigih. Ah....nvm. I still have a long life to live so....there will always be chances in the future. Ah yes, Bernard is in 3 Usaha and Lizzie's in 3 Nekad, for your information.
Somebody get me the VAIO C1!!!
There's nothing quite like the new VAIO C1 with its own MOTION EYE, now featuring progressive-scan technology for a new level of video beauty. Lighter than 1kg!!!
Wake up Yvonne! Nobody's gonna get that hyper 'chun' thing for you. It cost RM4,788 and with that amount I can get all the things in my wishlist already, except for the Leewuin Adventure, ofcourse. -awwww-
Yippie! school's beginning tomorrow! I'm now form 4! Oh what so great about that? aw....don't know I just love school. Watching all my friends leave school batch by batch scares me to hell. Hmmm... which class will I go to? Hope they won't have too many sub-science classes or my 3
rd stream will be down to the drain. I will see new faces in school tomorrow. Well, not really new because I already know 1/4 of the 1987-born students. But the most important and heart-shattering fact is that the person I really want to meet will not be in school anymore. *sob* If you want to know more about that you can always click on my galleries in the SITES section and go to my articles. Read the one with the title -A memory to remember- *sob*!!!
Oh....no...Jie Yow's pestering Cheryl to let him read her journal. What have I done? Sowweee ar.... hehehehehe!!!
Saturday, January 05, 2002
Oooh! I met up with Jie Yow this evening for a drink. He was so kind to help me scan some gifts. He just got back from his Personal Development Training and that's why the gifts were late to arrive at David's. They're supposed to be his Christmas gifts. So waddya say? You wanna have a look? Sure! No problem.
Here and
Here
Precisely, they're of better quality and ofcourse bigger in size too. They took me about 300K each!!! Thank goodness I did not color them or it will be worse. Ah yes! I also re-designed my galleries. Please take a look at it!

yum! yum! I'm eating Inari while blogging! I also ate some wasabi with Japanese rice and it tastes good!!! yum! yum! Hmmm.... it's Saturday and the lonesome potatoe, me! is couching at home as usual. Ee Jye asked me to join her at Pyramid to bid Michelle farewell but...I'm such a lazy bump. Good Heavens! She's leaving for Aussie but it doesn't mean she'll never return! right? Thank goodness she did not ask me to go all the way to the airport which is like so far away from where we live. But anyway...
All The Best, Michelle! Ah....it had been ages since I last saw her. Oh wait....she's leaving before she receives her SPM results? Hmmm...weird. But I'm confident that Michelle will score well.
Oh yeah Serah introd someone to me online. It's our schoolmate in Form 2. She's a prefect and through the conversation, I know that she's one heck of a nice gal. Precisely, she thinks that David is a good prefect. Hehehe...! Can't say she's wrong but I personally do not judge prefects. They are who they have to be and that's the story that beholds their identity in school. agree?
Hahaha!!! year right... Serah claimed
this to be funny but I still can't figure out how to play it. It's Frodo v.s Harry Potter. But I don't see the fun at all.

WooT! New Layout! Card Captor Sakura! How does this look? Pretty? hehehe... I don't think I will be changing layouts anymore. So hope I won't be inspired by anything better. XD Gah......I bought my new school uniform and a pair of new school shoes today. So I'm gonna return brand new.
The Yvonne Returns! or The Return of Yvonne! whichever sounds better...
Wednesday, January 02, 2002
Ah...it had been 7 days and I wonder how is David doing in Ipoh. Urm....miss him! So I just finish eating sushi for supper -again- and ohhhh! no! -recalls- xin yuen's leaving for Aussie in another 29 more days! Why do you have to go? No!!!!!!!!!!! *sob and whines* life is so unfair! so anymore friends of mine leaving me? harh? I'll get my bahamut to dunk your butt off!

Happy New Year! Yea...yea... it's another new year and I get a year older. Sweet 16!! Or not too sweet? So yesterday... we had a very-very nice barbecue at a cousin's condo located somewhere in PJ. The barbecue pit was much larger than most I saw throughout my boring life. After the meal, we went up and played Insight in Shu Mae's room. We also saw the fireworks at Dataran Merdeka. Oh, that was SO BEAUTIFUL!!! Cheryl should have seen it. She just love fireworks. Or, was she there? Then we left and I stayed at Alicia's place for the night, retired to bed at 4am to be exact. Oh, here I am now, back to my own house with my family. My relative came over too! With a microwave gift. Heh heh heh! Alicia bought me a souvenir from Hong Kong. Thanks buddie!
Okie...enough of the ranting, I have to continue polishing my musicstand. -grumble-
