second time.

Settled. (:
Thanks, Jason. For starting it. XD
Even though I still don't approve of the streetfighting. =.="
But whatever.

Here we go again. If I read your mind, I would. But I can't.
Hey, if I could get involved in politics, I would too. But I can't.
Unless I want to end up in juvenile ISA.
If I could blog every time I felt inspired, I'd have a lot to say.

Like how A(H1N1) could be the subject of biological warfare.
And that racial bias is one of the biggest possible factors contributing towards it.
Bet you never thought of it that way, huh?

But right now, I'm more concerned about the fact that I have to attend to JYM, Taekwondo, CF and the drama team next year. And figure out how I'm supposed to handle posts and carry responsibilities that require at least 99% commitment in everything. At the same time. And on top of all that, I have to get used to the Form 4 syllabus. And deal with the fact that Lyn won't be there to "chill" me anymore.

Did all the training in the world prepare me for this?
Puh-lease, I can handle this.
I hope.

Omigosh, I need Leong Li Hui and Vanessa Chew NOW. I can't deal with this alone. Not my emotional balance on top of everything else.

If I sleep now, will it all be over by tomorrow morning?

sharing and caring.

Eelaaaaine!
She's in Penang at the moment. And unfortunately, so is her camera.
Aan-knee-weiz...

Yesterday. I couldn't wake up. After reading Aunty Bernadette's book until two in the morning. But I managed to get to Eelaine's on time. Carmen was already there. Li Hui was going to be late.
We didn't start without her. As if we even wanted to start. So what did we do?
Held StoryTime! I love our StoryTimes. :) Carmen had a shocking one to share. X) And Eelaine's was so cutee! (It's his birthday today! Must give those Kisses.) Then Li Hui called. She couldn't find her way to Eelaine's house, so we had to go pick her up at the taman.

Me, Eelaine, Carmen, Li Hui

Eh, do you guys know where 81 is?

No...didn't she say which taman?

Huh? How many tamans are there?

Maybe it's this one...this is 80...

Wait...what car does she have?

Some big black car, I think.

I don't see a big black car anywhere.

Are you sure it's this taman?

Maybe we should call her and ask her to come out of her car.

*Sammie calls Li Hui.

Hello? Li Hui? Are you at the taman?

Yes, I'm here.

Huh? Really? We're here, too.

Really? I can't see you all.

Err...can you come out of your car?

Oh okay. *Ends call.

She said she's coming out of the car.

I don't see her...

Oh no. I think we got the wrong taman.

Wait, she said she's near Yew Ee, right? Is the other taman there?

Oh yeah...it is...

We better hurry, her dad sounded mad...

Oh no, what if we got her in trouble?

We finally found her. (Li Hui, your dad is scary.)

Went back to Eelaine's house. Then Li Hui told her camp stories! Okay, then we finally started on our project.

Started cutting up whacking the gula melaka on the cutting board while it was stuck on the knife. Carmen managed to cut her finger as well. Took turns to fry the peanuts. Eelaine's mom came in while it was Li Hui's turn and turned up the fire. Which burned the peanuts. (No offence, but your mom really doesn't know how to make fah sang paeng, Eelaine.) Carmen and I at least had some cooking experience.

Then we made the onde-onde dough and started putting in the gula melaka pieces. Well, more pieces went into our mouths than the dough. X) Yum. Then we started shelling the peanuts before deciding to go for lunch.

Eelaine's mom: So, do you girls want to go for lunch already?

Yes, I'm starving!

No, I ate too much gula melaka.

Eelaine and Carmen had to drag Li Hui and I away from the peanuts to get us to go for lunch. XP While we waited for Eelaine's mom, Carmen, Li Hui and I got a good look at his house. :) We couldn't make enough noise for him to come out though.

Then we went to McD's for lunch. McValue Meals are so over-priced. Oi, the cashier was not flirting with me, okay. =.=" And we saw Pn. Ting, Kerwin, one of Li Hui's tuiton friends (who thought we were sisters? :P), Sheng Yong and Cherissa! :) We had lunch upstairs. Then we started camwhoring in the playground. XP And all the little kids started laughing and talking about us. XD

After that we walked to SaveMart. Imagine yourself as one of the SaveMart workers. What would you think if you saw four crazy girls posing with packs of peanuts, flour and milk? ROFL. XD Then we walked back to Eelaine's house. How we managed to get back when none of us had any sense of direction is up to you to figure out. We started shelling peanuts as we watched TV. :) We were so behind schedule.

After that, we actually made the onde-onde, peanut cookies and started on the apam balik flour. The onde-onde and peanut cookies were okay. Then Li Hui had to go. (See you tomorrow!), and we started on the apam balik.

That was a complete disaster. I'm never using the recipe again. Ever. We had to add so much more water and milk than stated and it was still so rubbery. But at least Eelaine made it look okay, and the excessive sugar, peanuts and corn made it taste better. X)

Then I had to go homee. With all my baking stuff, saving Eelaine the hassle of bringing it on Monday. :) Have fun in Penang, dear. We'll demand to know all about it when school reopens. =P

Omigosh, school's reopening.

I think we wasted most of our time talking about PeaNuts and Gene and Watermelons and Gene and Basketball and everything else. X) But, at least we know each other better.

Carmen. I checked. He posted. After your post. Now you can go omigosh.

I feel like baking a cheeezecake! You guys were right. Whoever marries me is going to be so lucky. XD

What's wrong with me?

Wish I was so over it.

Well, now she's hooked on you too. See the kind of things you do.

See the kind of hurt you're going to cause for us.

And you don't even know, do you?

rawr. (editted)

This feels so weird. Can you believe I've actually been spending the past four days completely at home?! I haven't pulled something like this off since...since...I don't know when. Definitely not since a year ago. This is so surreal.
I can't wait for school to re-open.
I can't even wait for Saturday.
Well, maybe I can. I just definitely can't wait to get out. This is so not me.
They're leaving for Penang tomorrow. And they're leaving for Selayang on Monday.
If my mom hadn't grounded me, I'd be on two back-to-back camps.
*sighs. One week off JYM is already mind-numbing. One week off everyone else is suicide.
At least...Sammie's got her call-answerable phone back! Well, it isn't exactly mine, which is still in the hand phone repairs shop. But at least I even have a call-answerable phone.
Not like any one's calling me. With the exception of an additional stalker, a.k.a. customer no. 3.
I feel so jobless. The past few days have been full of cleaning, cooking, drying laundry, folding laundry, ironing laundry and doing whatever else it is I'm slaving away at for my mom. And trying unsuccessfully to compose a song that's worth my time playing. And questioning the Education Ministry.
Like Aaron LXT says, it's like I'm living life during the emergency coup after May 13.
That's how sad it is.
Oh wells, tomorrow will be here soon enough.

The move by the Education Ministry to limit the number of As attainable to 10As for an average SPM-student is definitely not big enough a stride to raise the standards of academic acheivement in today's secondary schools. And will it be a step in the right direction to raise the quality of our As, as opposed to quantity (which they have, yays for them, come to realize will get us nowhere)? It disappoints me to read that Marina Mahatir, after consulting top foreign universities, finds that, with what appears to be academic excellence in our country, students must still take remedial classes overseas to catch up with their peers.
If you didn't understand that, never mind. Here's something else:
Raja Petra Kamaruddin's Most Sincere Apology to the Nation *click*
My flicker of faith stands nowhere compared to this man's firm stand in his belief and everything he speaks for. But maybe someday it will be.
