Yvonne Foong -

Today is the 30^th day of the last month in year 2003. I'm glad this year is about to end because this wasn't a great year for me. I faced many mental crisis in my personal life that I'm glad its all over. Tomorrow is New Year's eve. I'd be having dinner with Kenrick, Elena, Alicia and Amy at Cafe 7 then maybe countdown and watch the fireworks nearby. Doesn't sound too interesting, does it? But what better way to celebrate the new year than spending some intimate time with my dear friends? Alicia's parents treated us to dinner at Planet Hollywood just now. I think my chicken was over cooked. The meat was so harsh...the pasta ain't hot... should've ordered fish & chips instead. Bintang Walk wasn't interesting either. I rather go to Petaling street! Subang Jaya is still the best place to live in, we have everything here. I hope and I know 2004 will be a better year. I'm turning 18 and starting college. But some problems will still be there as it is now. I did some search this afternoon and came across websites with information about the Malaysian Philharmonic Choir, Malaysia National Choir and finally Ms. Susanna's KL Young Singers at Bangsar Actors Studio. I'd really love to join since I have a couple of friends in that choir but its all the way in Bangsar! Had a little talk with Ms. Susanna on the phone, told her that I'll be in MSC International and she said MSC have their own choir! Good...and I thought it was only for the Music school students. hehehe! I won't make any resolutions this year cause I always come back to square one. But I do have a couple of wishes to make. 1. May everyone have their dreams come true. 2. May tomorrow be a better day for everyone. 3. I want my nerves to heal sooner so I can dance, run and ice-skate again. 4. I want to hear better especially in crowded places. and maybe some materials....hehe! 1. new ladies' sandals. I'm tired of wearing sneakers. 2. lots mini-skirts. I HATE pants! Lastest News. Well actually quite some time already but I haven't got the time to blog about it. Elena has a new boyfriend! who's in the Navy! COOL! ok...heck... wha so cool about that, HEH! She makes me go jealous I hate her handphone! Cuz Chris keeps smsing and calling her! ok...just kidding. I am happy for her. But she reminds me of MY love life. *sob* how mean that is...

You're Skittles!!! You have a very interesting
personality, you're so unique. You're the kind
of person who always thinks outside of the box.
You're also a very accepting individual, and
believe in inner beauty.

Which kind of candy are you?

Merry Christmas! oh it's past 12 already. Anyway, Christmas this year is great. Had loads of food from 12pm until now. Went to two parties and ate non-stop. One is my mom's friend's party and it wasn't as fun there but...I got presents so I don't care. :-Þ Then at night, went to Aunty Mei Lng's house for dinner and got presents again. It's great to see them, the kids and Angel, Aunty Mei Ling's shih tzu. But I think the best part about dinner is seeing Alicia making a fool out of herself among the kids, she was a real clown to them. HAHAHA!! It's nice being able to attend this party again, like last year. They're all so warm. But while there, Cheryl called me, urged me to follow-up with Swee and gang. *sweatdrops* she reminded me that tomorrow is yet to come. BAH! Now I am home chatting with a couple of my friends and really happy cuz Yukito sent me a Christmas Card!...virtual one. Hmmm...maybe he sent the same thing to everyone. But anyhow....it's the thought that matters. THANKS TREY! after dinner Aaron told us a joke... One day Tom, Dick and Harry came to a cliff. They were to jump off and had the ability to transform into the things that they utter. Dick jumped and said, "Hawk!" so Dick turned into a hawk and flew away. Next, Harry jumped and said, "Eagle!" and flew away. But when it came to Tom's turn, he was very nervous and freaked out while he jumped so he called out for his friends' names in fright, "Harry!! Dick!!" surprise..surprise... I thought the old smsj forum was abandoned. But now I visit it, I'm so shocked to find that the later post was in Oct 2003! before SPM and it was active all along! Ok...so Lisa if you're reading this, do send me the admin password, I forgot already. :-)

Okay..it's 1am in the morning and I'm widely awake. Why ah? hmmm...weird. This isn't normal. I am abnormal! Ah...crap. Quite pissed now... cuz I was supposed to meet Kenrick for tea today but when I arrive there, the restaurant was closed and he doesn't have my hp no. worse of all his dad said he should be in MCDs but he wasn't!! He's lucky not to be my classmate anymore or I shall kick his ass!! So instead, Jie Yow, Cheryl and I went over to Alicia's place for awhile and went for a drink with Yewin just now. Just got back and maybe it was the Ice Lemon Tea, I can't sleep!!! BTW, it is Kenrick's b'day and I don't give a damn! In lighter note, Cheryl photostated these training sheets and on one paper, wrote a question, "If you could have anything in the world right now, what would it be?" I dwelled on that question for a few minutes. Yukito? Health? Yukito? Health? ...then minutes later someone's words struck me. "Health comes before love". I despised that statement once but after awhile, I realised it was right. So I chose HEALTH! and how can the job I'm in now help me? Well, by the time I reach ambassador or presidential level, scientists would have created the cure for NF, I hope, and I will use my income to purchase this invaluable drug. Or if they haven't found a cure yet, then I'll make use of the money I have to buy all the treatments I need in US, since there is no NF specialist in Malaysia anyway. *sigh* and when I am cured, I'll help the other NF patients get cured! ain't I great? heeheehee...

I'm so tired now...but I can't sleep anymore. I don't know... my body clock is set to wake up after 8 hours of sleep and I automatically get sleepy and dry eyes when its pass 10pm. I can still stay awake after 10pm, but my eyes will be very heavy. And I don't sleep in the afternoon, even if I try to unless if I am sick. But some, or maybe most of my friends, have a bad sleeping habit. They can stay up really late until 4-5 in the morning, sleep and wake up at 12noon. Maybe its all in the mind... It's very easy to wake me up. Just give me a pat or call my name and I'll wake up but some people have problems even to wake up!! ok...enough about sleep. So why am I so tired? Well, yesterday morning, me, Yewin, Cheryl and Jie Yow drove to 1 Utama to meet this fella but he didn't show up!! What a waste of time since we were already very late for everything. Well, anyhow, we had lunch at Kyros Kebab for more than an hour for a brief business discussion with Yewin. At around 2pm, we rushed back to Subang to pick Li Ann and Jo Kim up from my house but Jo Kim was late, we waited for her until 2:50pm and the seminar was supposed to start at 3pm! So again, we rushed to Wisma MCA like crazy and 6 people in a car wasn't fun at all. But Jie Yow was a daring driver. He dared to speed, change lanes consecutively and even squeeze thru cars! So we made it there, late but they started just as we got our seats! I expected only a few hundreds of people to attend but few THOUSANDS of people were there! And everyone were wearing black suits and tie I felt myself attending a vice traid meeting. *sweatdrops* I thought the seminar was for 2 hours only, well, that's what I told Li Ann and Jo Kim but it ended at 7pm, 4 hours later. So again, we rushed back to Subang but there was traffic jam all the way home. We had our dinner before Cheryl, Jie Yow and I went to Damansara McDs for another business meeting and this one ended at 12am. I was already half asleep then. It was great seeing Yewin again. It had been months since I last saw him though he lives in the row of houses behind mine. hah hah! I called him at 9 something yesterday morning and he was still asleep. How cute he was talking on the phone at that time. He recently bought this magic set from the internet and was showing me some tricks he learnt. Magnificient! Now I can't wait to get back to him for the business we shared with him yesterday cuz he was very interested and I'm glad he was. And the new 1Utama building is cool. mmm...going to Genting on Jan 3, for 2 days and college starts on Jan 5!! I can't wait!! p/s: added Yvonne Foong into my links. No, that's not me but another 17 year old singaporean girl studying Aeronauticals in Singapore Poly. COOL!

Whoaaaaaaaa!! Watch the LoTR Finale, Return of the King, with Jarn Way at KLCC today. Chunla the show. She lined up since 10am but still got the side seat tickets and it was soooo cold in the cinema I was trembling! And this idiotic kid sitting behind me kept kicking my chair! Luckily, the entire row was empty so I moved to another seat. I feel MidValley is still a better place to shop than KLCC cuz they don't really have much stuffs. But Midvalley is in the middle of nowhere. Don't know why Albert always have functions there. *sigh* I took KTM to KL Central and then Putra LRT to KLCC. The KTM was blardy slow like HELL! On the way home, it was so packed I missed one train. But the LRT was alright. Just that people still can't learn to stand behind the yellow line. *sigh* By the way, today is Albert's 20^th birthday. HAPPY BURFDAY!

Kaulah satu-satunya, Di antara berjuta, Insan teristimewa. If you think you're no study material...think again. Are you really not for studying? or you just don't like what you study? After all...we're moulded by the books we read and people we meet. So how can we not like studying? It's what we learn that accounts to who we are today. It is amazing how far the human mind can go. We only use as little as 5% of our brain, imagine what if we make use all of the other 95% of our memory? There are a lot of things we tend to overlook here and there conciously. But if something reminds you one fine day, everything burried within your subconcious mind will surface. There are infinite things we've learnt and know but it is our ego that ignores it. My conclusion is, don't force yourself to forget anything or anyone. You'll just end up remembering it better. So why not just take things as it is and be happy about it.

Am blogging in Alicia's house now. Alicia Elena and Phoebe went to buy dinner so I'm alone here...ah privacy. :-) Signed up for college this afternoon with mummy. Got a loan, a scholarship and RM1000 rebate. Ok..it's MSC International doing a diploma in Interior Design. Would love to go to Lim Kok Wing but bloody hell they're shifting to CYBERJAYA!! I hope to do a degree in Interior Arcgitecture after I finish my diploma. hehehe..u know, so I can do a one-man-show. HEHEHE...!! They say life is destinied. And now I see my first destiny. I was born with no one to teach me how to draw and I won my first art recognition by Lat, a local comic artist, at the age of 7. Then I began to join more and more competitions and won more prizes. ofcourse I dare not say I'm good but I'm surely not average either. I never thought of doing interior design until I was in form 3 when Felicia told me of her ambition to be an interior designer because she has this uncle who earns a fortune in that career(she dropped the idea now *phew*). Without thinking twice I passed that idea. Then when I was in form 4 I went with Alicia to this edu fair and saw a brochure on Interior Design and thought, "hey! why not?" so I went and did lots and lots of research on the course. So am I born to be a designer? Ok...I'm a little perasan here... I'm now very excited cuz I had just embarked myself upon a new career. A career I never thought I'd do, thanks to Cheryl. It's a business...very big and stable one. Oh yes....among all of us(me, Elena, alicia, florence, kenrick and most people I know)...ONLY FLORENCE GOT CHOSEN FOR NATIONAL SERVICE!! Ok...don't want to say anything further. For the curious 17 year olds, please click on the link for information and to check the list. Good Luck!

Thought I knew it all....but I was the most blind person to see the wicked nature of others. Yet no one told me. They never remind me.... But what is the use of a reminder? It's over now... and I wish it'll never happen again. Not too soon at least. Everyone's enrolling into the future, college. And why am I sitting here? Because I have a vision...a plan I think is right for me. But is it really? Evil temptations....
