Movie Day

Okay, so.
It was Christmas yesterday, so Merry Christmas.
Last night, me, my sister and my cousins were bored.
So we went out for a movie.
Or at least we tried.
GSC at Pavilion was so full it was hard to move around.
And I'm not exaggerating when I say that!

We wanted to watch Sherlock Holmes, you see.
Initially we wanted to watch the 7.20 show with Kakteh and Abg Mut as well. (She was on-call the next day so she wanted an earlier show)
But as expected, no seats left.
So we decided on the 10.15 pm show instead.
Of all nights, that was the night where we couldn't buy tickets online via credit card.
For some reason.
So we had to go there ourselves, line up and buy them.
Such a waste of time and energy!
Luck was not with us.
The 10.15 show was sold out.
But we were so determined to watch it, we bought tickets for the next day (meaning today).

Sherlock Holmes at 11.45AM, GSC, Pavilion.

Not a bad movie. It was quite interesting, actually, but everyone was sleepy.
Why?
Well, before the movie started, we bought hot dogs, popcorn and drinks from the counter.
Not only that, we bought Chicken Popcorn from KFC as well. Had to smuggle it in la. ;)
Ate it in the theatre. Full like crazy mann!

After Sherlock Holmes, Kakya and I wanted to watch the Vampire's Assistant.
We bought the tickets for the 5.10PM show before we went in for Sherlock Holmes.
When the first movie ended it was around 2. So we had 3 hours to kill.
And so starts the shopping. At first it was Tangs. We bought a whole lot of chocolate. Like, RM100's worth. (Since you can claim 2 hours' free parking when you spend over RM100 in a single receipt)
And did we need those 2 hours' free parking!

We (well, 3 of us, actually) ate Subway, since Kakya like, mengidamkan it. For reasons I do not know. It had something to do with the night I went out with Aimi, Malik and Izzudin at Jusco. Don't ask.
After that we went our separate ways. I walked around with Kakya, waiting for 5 o'clock to come around.
Kakda went back with Abg Hazwan and Kak Liyana. (My other sis and my two cousins)

We (me and Kakya) went shopping around Forever 21 and Cotton On. Didn't buy anything.
Went up the the 6th floor. Got sidetracked to Video Ezy on the way to Starbucks. Didn't buy anything there either.
Reached Starbucks. I got myself a Caramel Cream. Kakya bought the Cranberry and Grapefruit juice bottle thingy.. (I don't know what it's called)
Really pahit and masam. Not my cup of tea.
So we spent our time in Starbucks until it was 5.

The Vampire's Assistant at 5.10PM, GSC, Pavilion.

Now this was the movie I've been waiting for.
I've even read the books! Though I haven't finished reading the very last one, which is the 12th book, mind you. Reading it as we speak. =)
The movie, which is supposedly based on the first 2 books, is completely, well, maybe not completely, but considerably so, different from what I've read.
A good movie, I must say. It was funny. I liked it, but I just have to say that it's not like the book.
There were characters that didn't exist in the book but appeared in the movie, and the characters that existed in the book weren't in the movie..I'd say they switched it up.
So there's no hope the later movies (if they ever make them) will be like the rest of the Darren Shan Saga. Sadly. It's such a nice collection.

So that's that then.
After the movie we went home straight away.
Not before forgetting where we parked and roamed around the parking lot a bit.
Dah lah pening from staying in Pavilion for 8 hours, we had to look for our car.
What a day!
But I enjoyed it. =)

PMR Results Day

The pre-results feeling was killing me.

The night before, I felt sleepy.
But by the time I closed my bedroom door behind me, I couldn't sleep a wink.

So I tossed and tuned until about... 2 maybe?
Then I woke up at 7 something.
Reached school by 9. (I know, awal kan?)

At that time, it was just me, Alini, a few girls from 3A and few from 3B.
Not that many to begin with.

When it was nearing 9.45, the school canteen was filling up.
Not just by form 3's, but parents were waiting anxiously too.

Pn. Ann went to get the results at 10.
We were like, "WHAT?! We have to wait longer now????"
So pissed.
Getting more excited/anxious/nervous.
One or two were so nervous they cried.

Canteen's getting noisier.
A group of people get up and walk to the hall. (just to be early, you know)
Everyone notices and gets up as well.
We all file into the hall.
Everyone sits, asking their friends to be with them.
Holding hands.
Hugging each other good luck.

Pn. Ann steps on stage.

The hall falls silent.
The tension grows thick.
In fact, it was so thick you could slice it like you do with butter.

She gives a speech.
Thanks the students and parents for being here today.
Congratulates all the form 3's, no matter what the outcome.
Quotes Shakespeare. (I can't recall what, I had more important things in mind at the time)

States that this year, 67 students got straight A's.
Percentage of those who passed was almost 99%.
2 students failed Maths.
1 Failed BM.
100% passed was for English, Geo and surprisingly Science.

Starts to announce the girls who got straight A's (8A's and 7A's) and 7A 1B.
She starts with 3B. Moves on to 3U, 3K, and 3T.
All those whose names were mentioned stepped on stage.
Smiling, laughing, crying. All out of happiness.
Then comes 3N. Quite a number of girls.
3A. Even more so.
3W. Also quite a number of girls.

Then, 3P.
As Pn. Ann said, "Now, 3P. The best performing class."
That was more than enough to get us all excited and anticipate the best.
I listened closely. Held on the Sonia's hand as hard as I could.
Practically jumped up when I heard her call out my name.

All I was thinking when I got up on that stage was, "I got 8A's!!!!"
I hugged Dian. She was practically screaming and jumping with joy.
Denise was like, "Dian, you need to calm down. The stage might collapse."
But who cares! Everyone was just too happy to be bothered.
So once we got off the stage to collect our certificates and result slips, those who got 8 and 7 A's tried to comfort those who didn't.

We took pictures.
Laughed.
Cried.
Hugged.
Congratulated.
Lots of stuff.
It was an emotional whirlpool.

So in the end, out of the 67 girls who scored straight A's, 20 of them were from 3P.
Yes, myself included. =D

Oh the joy.
No one can take away this happiness from me.

So, to those who got straight A's, Congratulations.
And to those who didn't, it's not the end of the world.
(I know you might think this is easy for me to say, considering the results that I got, but it's true)
You don't need to get 8A's in PMR to succeed.
So now, let's focus on SPM! =.='"

Pretty good, pretty damn good..

I loved this week.
I really did.
I don't even know where to start.
Okay umm.... how about I list them?
They may not be in order but..I'll try my best yeah?

1. I went out a lot. Like, almost every day of the week. (With who is a different matter)
2. I watched a bunch of movies. Two days ago I watched Zombieland and today I watched Avatar. =)
3. I've read quite a lot. Right now I'm in the middle of the Darren Shan saga. (The Vampire's Assistant movie is based on those books)
4. We bought a bookcase at IKEA! It's green. But it was real pain to assemble it.
5. I've proven to myself (in front of a few people) that I can play Expert level on Guitar Hero.
6. I finished watching You're Beautiful. It took a few days, but all those hours in front of YouTube were worth it!
7. I got my braces off. =D

Yeah, I think that's about it.
But maybe I left out a few little things.
It's not exactly easy to remember what happened this week right off the top of yor head you know!

Oh, and this is something quite irrelevant, but I'm comteplating on forgetting that guy.
(This may only concern a selected few)
Just felt like stating that out loud.
Makes me believe it more too.
And really, it's okay to state stuff like that to convince yourself, as long as not everyone gets the picture.

You get my drift here?
Hmm, maybe not.
Nevermind then.

I'm So Disappointed

I did something really really stupid.
I'm so freaking pissed at myself right now.

A mistake anyone, well, a lot of people make.
But it's so stupid!
I could've avoided it.
It's no big deal.

In fact, it's stupid.

What did I do?
I clicked on a link.
And what happened when I clicked on that link?
The page loaded to somewhere else.

What page was I on previously?
YouTube. =.="

I waited all morning to watch it.
Then I made the stupid mistake of clicking on a link without holding down the 'control' button.

ALL MORNING I waited.
For nothing.

I AM SO MAD!!!! >=(

You must think I'm irrational for being mad at this.
But you must understand my frustration.
This is a video that I'm crazy obsessed over watching.
I waited a long time for it load completely.
Kept on checking on it to see if it's done.
Then it was.
So I was gonna watch it.
But I got sidetracked by something.
So I clicked that STUPID LINK.

Then poof! It's gone.
Just like that.
EEEEE!!!!

Don't worry, I think I've calmed down now.
Just by a little bit.
I went back to that page.
It's in the middle of loading again.

Ciao.

Goodbye Westerns, Hello Asians

I'm sure you're wondering what this is about.
Recently, the whole obsession over Japanese/Korean dramas has started up again.

This time though, somehow my aunt got pulled into it as well.
It's still got me dumbfounded how that happened.

It all started about a 2 weeks ago, or maybe one, I'm not sure, when Kakya and I went into Speedy in Pavilion.
She bought The Legend of Hong Gil Dong.
Because she didn't finish watching it before.
Or something.
Anyway, I watched the first 2 episodes with her.
And guess what?
I was interested in it.
and once I'm interested in a story, there's almost no way for you to make me stop thinking about it.
Which results in me going to sleep at 4 something just because I wanted to finish watching the whole season.
Which had 24 episodes, by the way.
Each lasting about an hour or so.

It's not that i just watch it at night, when everyone's asleep.
No, I watch it in the daytime as well.
One of those times, my aunt watched an episode or two with me.
I was tempted to switch it off and change to Astro, but my selfishness got in the way.
There was no hope in geting me switch to regular TV once I'm hooked on something.
Except of course if my dad's the one who wants to watch TV.
That's another story.
I didn't expect my aunt to be hooked onto the show as well.
That was the most shocking.

Now she wants to bring it back to Oman with her to watch.

Well, I'm glad to say I've finished watching it already.
Truth be told, I did not like the ending.
It was too... grim.
If I may say so myself.
But the whole series in general was good.
I laughed, (and cried, admittedly).
Let's just sa I was too caught up in the moment.
Jang Geun Suk is SO HANDSOME!!!!!! =D

Eventhough some may argue that he looks too feminine.
But that's just because of the hair.

With the end of one, comes another.
But I haven't even got hold of it yet.
it's called 'You're Beautiful'.
Starring... Jang Geun Suk!
Hahahaha. I found it by accident, really.

As usual, after watching a drama, I always obsess a bit over it.
In comes Google.
Oh how I love it. It's so useful and satisfying when it comes to getting info.
Actually I was looking up the sequel to Hong Gil Dong.
That's where I found out about You're Beautiful.
Looks interesting, but like I said,I don't have it yet.
Can't wait, though. =)

Oh, and if you're interested in knowing what he looks like and some suff about korean dramas, check out drama beans.
It's a blog.
Quite an intersting read, if you're into the whole TV series-drama-actors stuff.
Yeah.
Or just Google the name.
Easier that way, I guess.

Bye!

New Moon

The very first day it's out, and there you go.
I watched it.

Not that different from when I watched Twilight last year.
Basically the same, with the over excited girls and the guys hanging around going, "this is so gay" and of course, me sort of obsessing afterwards.

But this time though, I went with Aimi instead of Malik.
And it wasn't the very first show.
But it was still good.

For some reason, I'm kinda depressed.
I explained to Aimi earlier that I get depressed after obsessing over stuff like this.
Maybe because it's something my life lacks?
What is it that my life lacks, you must be wondering.
Hmm.. I'm not quite sure either.

But I think it's something along the line of.. mystery?
Or love.
Either one.
Excitement in that kind of sense.
I guess.
Yeah, I'm totally not making sense right now.

It's the New Moon craze talking.

Anyway, about the movie.
I liked it.
Oh yes, I did.

JACOB BLACK IS SHIRTLESS!! =D

Oh god, my heart melted at the scene.

And this is something I want to clarify right here and now.
If by any chance you ask me what team I am, I'd say:

In the book, TEAM EDWARD.

But in the movies, TEAM JACOB.

For sure. =)
It's like, inside-my-head image versus real life person.
Still don't get it?
Okay then. In other words;

The character Edward is better than Jacob.

BUT

Taylor Lautner is better than Rob Pattinson.

Sorry to say Robbie Pats fans. =(
He's just too scruffy and.. stinky for my taste.
Did you know he rarely showers?
Gross.

A Christmas Carol

Watched the 3D version with my sis at Pavilion this evening.
Truth be told, it wasn't that great.
I couldn't really enjoy it much either.
There was thing with the seats and being scared of being thrown out...my sister's words, not mine.

But it was okay, but I wouldn't say it's worth going for a second time.

Old Pals

Oh how I simply loved today.

UPSR results were announced.
A bunch of us, namely, me, Aimi, Shaza, Nasfatee, Malik, Rais, Faris and Husaini, went to SKS to see it la.
This year, 94 students got 5A's.
Not that bad, eh? =)

My next door neighbour got 4A's.
My cousin got 5. Go Sofia!

Anyway, after all of that was done, the hall emptied and we just stuck around..taking pictures, talked to Cikgu Wan Rosli a bit. (Though he doesn't actually know me..hahahaha)
Then we moved on to the other blocks.
And came all the way up to 6A, 6B and 6C!
Our old classes when we were in year 6.
We sat in every single one of them.
Took pictures.
Reminisced.
Took more pictures.

Of course, on the way up we met Pn. Raja Maznah.
She still remembers all of us! =D
But, she didn't exactly get all of our names right.
Guess what she called Malik the first time?
Malik Hashim bin Raihan.
Hahahaha.
But it was close, no?
Good enough, since we left about 3 years ago.
Good news for me is that she remembered my name. Except that she thought my dad's name was Yusoff instead of Jamil. Oh well, can't expect too much, now can we?

The visit to the school was good and memorable.
God, I miss that school.

Once we got so hungry up to the point that we just had to eat, we left.
But not before stopping by Centrum first.
Just across the street, SKS is gonna have this dinner tomorrow.
On the rooftop.
Quite nice, actually.
Very extravagant.

After seeing all that, we finally went to McD.
See, everything is just within waling distance, actually.
So it was very convenient.
Plus, we were walking in a group so the distance was like, nothing to us.

Some more good news, Shaza's dad belanja-ed all of us.
Why?
Because Shaza's sister got 4A's and 1B.
So that was like, a 'kenduri sambutan'. Or something like that.
But we still bought our own ice cream.
Well, some of us did.
I ended up buying one for Malik. Just because I felt too nice at the time.
(Malik, you better be nice to me some time)
But then, we were all kind of in a good mood so no one cared.

Julia Nabilah joined us at one point.
And so, like most of the outings we have, what do we do?
Talk.
Laugh.
Kacau.

Hahaha..bet you were expecting me to say 'share' huh?
Er...no such thing. Haha.

Everyone went back.
But me, Shaza and Nasfatee went to Aimi's house.

What happened there was.. private and confidential.
Hahaha.
No, it was just talking.
Just normal girl-talk.

But I really enjoyed it.
Today was a good day.
Hope to have more of them while the holidays are here.
When we start form 4, eh, no. When PMR results are announced, I have a feeling people are gonna be busy afterwards.
Not looking forward to it, I must admit.
But hey, what to do?

Tuesday, November 17, 2009

Last Day

I can now say that it's officially...err.. official.. that school has ended for the year of 2009. =)

At least the form 3's lah.
Form 4's have until Friday and well, need I mention the form 5's?
They sure won't have any rest anytime soon..

Which brings me to say this:
Good luck for SPM to all form 5's that I know.
not that anyone would actually be reading this, but hey, it's the thought that counts, right?

Anyway, today was good. I liked it.
I brought Boggle with me, so I played pretty much all day with Erniza, Sonia and Ati.
Of course, what last day of school wouldn't be complete without a photography session? =D
That was both fun and... painful.
Yeah, it was painful alright. Especially at the back of the knees.
That's what you get for bending slightly down to pose in a group photo (well, several, actually) with a lot of cameras waiting to be used.
I think there were about 6, maybe more cameras wanting to take the same picture, but with only one person there to take them.

So yeah, it was a long shoot.
Thanks a lot to Emily Kok, you did a great job at snapping those photos! =)

Today was really good towards the end.
Cameras flashing at every turn.
Classmates saying goodbye, all too aware that this is they're final year (maybe, maybe not) together as classmates, for next year, in form 4, we're all gonna be separated, after 3 years together.

Ehem...mind the jiwang-ness of that sentence. Think of someone saying that in a really emo, depressed, on-the-verge-of-crying type voice.
Yeah.

I'm gonna miss 3P.
I really am, even though they annoy the heck out of me.
Then again, isn't that the beauty of it all?
The fact that we can still remain friends despite all the ups and downs?

I think that's the best friendship there is. =)


3P: the Perfect Psycho Princesses. =D

Guitar Hero

It's official.
I'm totally addicted to playing Guitar Hero.
Almost everyday, in fact.
Worse than before.
Because now, we have two guitars to play with.
=D

Actually the second guitar came only yesterday, but since then, I've been playing a lot with Abg Mut and Kakya.
Then again, even before we had two guitars, I was already wearing my fingers out trying to nail those songs!

Right now, I'm starting to get used to playing on Hard difficulty.

As you may imagine, it's umm..hard. -.-'" Hahaha.
It's really fun though.
I can't get enough of it.
My fingers are really stating to hurt a bit.
But I don't care.
I'm still gonna play after this.

Hmm...you know, the pain doesn't stop at my fingers only.
I signed myself up for the inter-class ping pong competition.
It's gonna be on the 16th of November.
So I still have a bout a week left to practice.
Where do I practice?
I might've practiced at home, but right now that's not possible.
The ping pong table's not here. ='(
It's somewhere in... either Kajang or Puchong.

But its ok. Pn. Gan lets us practice at school in the Ping Pong Room.
So, yesterday, when I actually came to school, (I didn't go today, hahaha, malas nak naik LRT) I played with Foong, Sue Jiun, Leena and Rishantinee at first. Then Hannah, Amaani and Khairun nisa joined, followed by Emma. But Khairun nisa and Emma just sat. They didn't play.
I played for about an hour, maybe more, non-stop. No breaks or anything. It was tiring.
And I didn't bring my water bottle.
Smart right?

I think I stopped at around 9.30.
Had a short break. Played again with Amaani.
Then it was recess.

After recess was chaos!
At first we played like normal. You know, with the ball actually hitting the table.
I took a break.

Then, it was Sue Jiun against Foong, Rishantinee and Leena.
They didn't even play regular ping pong. No, it was more like a mix of badminton and tennis. Either way, the ball was flying through the air.
It didn't even touch the ping pong table.

I didn't join of course, I just sat the with the rest and watched. And laughed. Oh, did we laugh.

And one thing I didn't expect to do there, was learn Japanese. =.=
All because of Khairun nisa and Amaani.
Now I know how to say 1-10 in Japanese! Yay me! Hahaha.

When it was time to go home, though, I had to stand in the bus.
Right at the door. On the steps, in fact.
Because it really was that packed.
Ate ice cream there too.
Bought Crunch before I got on the bus.
It was yummy. =)

When I got home, guess what I did?

You betcha, played Guitar Hero.
=D

Bye!
Expect my hands to be permanently in a death-claw position. =)

Netball

Almost every year they force us to play this game.
I never join, I support. =)

What I simply hate about this time of the year is that 3P falls to pieces.

We always fight.
We always end up yelling at each other.
We somehow end up crying.

Note: 'We' doesn't apply to everyone, not really. Just certain people.

So anyway, I thought this year was kinda unfair.
Right now, though, kinda pissed (and sleepy) to explain.

To put it simply, a part of the day wasn't in 3P's favour.

Yeaahh...I think that's all I'm the mood for.
Buh-bye.

Creativity flows

Mine apparently gets stuck along the way.

Recently I've been feeling an urge to write something.
It's like all the images in my head and all the stuff I'm thinking about wants to burst onto a piece of paper or something.

But I can't seem to put it to words.

This is so frustrating!!
It's the feeling you get when you're supposed to be writing this essay, but you have no idea what to write.

I'm starting to feel that almost every waking hour of the day.

Should I write about my dreams?
Nah, that wouldn't do.

I can't even remember them anyway.
It's all a complete blur.

The sad part is, sometimes I mistake my dream for real life.

So let's say I'm talking to this person. And I actually dreamt about that person before. It could've been about anything. A conversation that didn't make any sense or something.

So, when I'm talking to that person in real life, I get this feeling that I should be saying something important, but I can't grasp what it is.

It's hard for me to explain it. Which brings me back to how hard it is to put my thoughts into words. Very frustrating.
Anyway, I'm at a loss right now.
I read, but I want to write.
Yet I have no inspiration.
No goal.
Nothing.

Hmm...lately I've been reading these sort of mystery/murder case type books.
Same basic story line, but with a few unexpected twists here and there.

I think I might read a chick lit book again.
Haven't read one of those in a while.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I am actually starting to miss that same old story that you can just predict what's going to happen next.

I miss that predictability where you know when the guy is going to kiss the girl.

Who's going to end up with who.

The sad and tragic death or loss of a loved one.

The best friend who just suddenly leaves or back stabs someone.

The part where the main character meets the sweet and funny person that captures his/her
heart.

The friends and family that expected these two people to be together but they don't until the very end.

I actually miss that.
So you can expect my head to buried in that kind of book sometime next week.
Once I'm finished with the book I'm reading now.
It's called When The Wind Blows.

You might think when you read this title that it's some sort of sad, romance novel.
Actually it's not.
It's a James Patterson book.
About a mystery that involves a bit of science and murder.

Far, far from a chick lit.

So far it's pretty interesting.
Then again, I'm not even halfway through the book yet.
So yeah.

You know, this is what I love about blogging.
It satisfies my need to write something.
Expressing my thoughts in a way I write freely.
Not bound by errors in spelling or language or anything like that.
Not that I don't proof read my own posts.
I always do that, when I don't feel too crappy when I type it out.
Anyway, that's all for today, I think.

Bye bye. =)
I'm intent on not abandoning this blog again anytime soon.
