It's the holidays but I somehow don't feel as if it is the holidays. I think I know why...

It's because I STILL have to wake up at 6.30 in the morning to go to school!

Why?

For extra classes.

Well, I give up coz I'm not going tomorrow :)

Daddy's birthday was yesterday and guess what? Mr Sheat's birthday is today. HAHA. Now I'll be able to remember Mr Sheats birthday :)

Anyway, Daddy's birthday dinner was at One World. We ate at the chinese restaurant, naturally and had lots and lots of PORK. It's Daddy's day :)

Plus, I had the opportunity to wear my new dress from MNG so hey, I'm not complaining. Later, we went to the coffeehouse for some coffee and wine. Others had red wine from the bottle whereas I had Chardonnay, amongst other things. It was a good night, with the whole family together :)

Today I wasted my time in school because I did nothing except my moral project which I can easily do in the comforts of my home. I had lunch at Hartamas Plaza while Mummy did her grocery shopping then had tuition at 4.15. Trigonometry is horrible, it killed my brains.

I seriously need a new phone. I might have been exaggerating about it the last time but this time I'm serious. San called and we were talking on the phone for less than hour and my battery died, even with a full bar! It's rebelling against me :( On the other hand, I'm glad San's sounding better. Sure, she'll have her good days and bad days but it's getting better. Didn't I tell you that? :)

Pictures...

Today was exhausting and it turned out to be a very satisfying day :)

Got up at 10.30 to get ready for lunch with Yuen and her family at Shangri La Hotel. Mummy was rushing me like mad, I was so sure I forgot something but luckily I didn't. When we got to the restaurant, it seemed that mummy heard the time wrongly and we were there HALF AN HOUR early. Great.

Lunch was dim sum, it was quite good although I'm not a fan of dim sum. At around 3 something we went to KLCC for a but of shopping where I bought 2 pairs of really cute shorts from Roxy. Then of course when out with the Low sisters you must definitely go to the nearest bookstore. In this case it was Kinokuniya, their favourite place. I bought a thriller/mystery book which Yuen recommended. I'm just gonna borrow the rest of the series from her :) I also bought myself a sudoku puzzle book. Yep, I'm turning into a geek.

Then we went to Braun Buffel to get a wallet for daddy and at the same time, mummy ended up buying a rm 700+ handbag. Wait till daddy hears that :p

Mummy and I hopped to Pavilion after that to meet up with Gee-ee, Gee-tiao and Lisa after their movie. They watched Indiana Jones and according to Gee-ee, it wasn't very good. Quang says it was though. So, I dunno who to believe.

Before leaving Pavilion for dinner, I begged them to let me go to MNG and I'm glad I did coz there, I bought the cutest dress ever :D and a stylish white office kinda top. I am so satisfied today :) :) :)

Now, my feet hurt like shit because I've been walking around in my 3 inch heels all day. Smart, Vanessa, very smart.

The holidays have started! Which means.... DVD marathon!

I've already started with Escape from Huang Shi


... followed by An Empress and her Warriors.


I know, weird choice of movies but Escape from Huang Shi was pretty good. It's a true story about a British guy who sneaked into China when China was conquered by Japan. It showed how cruel the Japanese were and how the British guy ended up helping 60 orphans shift to a safer place along the Silk Road. What the Japanese soldiers did to the Chinese were horrible, one of it was making all of them line up in a row and the soldiers would shoot all of them to death.

An Empress and her Warriors was alright I guess. I would've enjoyed watching it more if the damn subtitles were correct. For those of you who know mandarin, the words being said was 'fei er' which is actually the name of the child but the subtitles were literally translating word for word resulting in...

fei=flying

er=son

fei+er=flying son

The subtitles were translating like that throughout the whole movie so you can imagine how screwed up my understanding was.

Then I watched Over Her Dead Body


And now I'm watching Cleaner


So I basically spent my day watching DVDs :)

Yesterday was Math Olympiad, PA performance and Prize Giving Ceremony. Harimau got 2nd for Math Olympiad which Quang didn't like very much but he won best participant. I'm so proud of you baby :)

After school I had Cambridge lessons and I got 27/30 for my essay! I can't believe it but I did! :D I really hope I'll be able to produce and essay that good on the day itself coz then it'll help pull my marks up.

Daddy and I went to Oriental Pavilion in PJ to meet up with Gee ee, Gee tiao, Lisa and Mummy for dinner. So much for worrying about not going shopping..... My mummy got me a Kipling handbag, Burberry perfume and Body Shop products! :D



Later on that night I watched The Covenant.


Quang said that it was a cool movie so I thought it'll be something like Jumper but how wrong I was. It was nothing like Jumper, it was scary and what made it worse was that I watched it at 12 midnight.

I woke up at 2 today, looks like I'm back to my old self. Thank god :)

I'm having lunch at Shang with Yuen tomorrow and maybe this time I'll come back with pictures :)

It's 1.35 a.m. and I just finished writing an essay for my Cambridge class tomorrow. I've seriously got to get a life.

I'll consider posting the essay up but right now I've gotta go to sleep!

It seems staying up till 4.30 in the morning really pays off. Perdagangan today wasn't so bad coz I finally managed to finish studying just in the knick of time. Funny incident though:

Ms Tye: Bryan, can you please staple the black paper to the notice board?

Bryan: Yes, Ms Tye.

a few staples and moments later....

Bryan: Ms Tye, I'm my tie is stuck to the board.

He had stapled his tie to the board. HAHA :)

I feel super weak right now. I think it's my complete and utter lack of SLEEP. But on the bright side, I feel as though a weight has been lifted off my shoulders completely and I can't wait for exams to be over!

Sa ee, Gee ee and mummy are going to KLCC on friday. I wanna go too but I can't because...

1. I have Cambridge classes after school

2. Prize giving ceremony ( I would've asked someone to keep my medals for me but seeing as I'm captain)

3. Gotta support someone for Math Olympiad :)

So I'm stuck in this horrible situation where shopping is calling for me.... :( Nevertheless, I gave mummy my shopping list already plus Sa ee knows what I want :)




P.s. Katt, you should start labelling which one of your asses is which ass as stated above :)

Good news: I finally finished studying form 4.

Bad news: I've only begun form 5 and it is 11.11 p.m.

No matter, I'm trying to relax and keep on studying until I can't take it anymore. Which will be very soon seeing as I stayed up till 3 in the morning last night.

Dinner was nice, good to get away from studying for a while but I didn't take any pictures with Yuen coz I was just too exhausted. It's okay, there will be other times :)

Back to studying!

It's official that I don't practice what I preach.

I was supposed to start studying on friday right? my ass.

I was supposed to finish studying form 4 yesterday right? my ass.

I'm supposed to finish studying form 4 tonight right? double my ass.

arghhhh!!! I am SO screwed!

*breathe in happy air* *breathe out stressed air*

And why did I not finish studying? All because of the stupid, stupid, stupid television. This is what they call pengaruh media massa. Now I know what that means.

Have I mentioned that tomorrow, I have BM tuition from 2-4? Which is going to suck my afternoon away and I won't be able to study after that because I've got dinner with Yuen and her family (btw, there will be pictures to commemorate that dinner, mark my words)

Back to the issue, yes I am dead for perdagangan. Why, why on earth did I take perdagangan??? :(

Alright, I'm going to stay up studying till however long it takes to finish up my form 4 syllabus.

Do you know what's bad about having a 3 day break in between exams? The fact that you keep thinking that exams are OVER when they are NOT.

That's what I keep doing, I keep thinking "Oh, thank god it's friday. I can sleep in, relax......." then a thought springs to my mind "Oh shit! I have perdagangan on tuesday." There goes that fantasy of mine.

Today was a horrible day, exams were like shit because of Sejarah. Well, BM was fine because the question that came out for the karangans were the questions that I discussed with Mr Ramesh the night before :) I really hope I'll be able to get better marks now that I inserted at least 6 peribahasas in there.

Then came Sejarah....... *drum roll* it was the funniest paper I've ever sat for. Here's how sejarah was:

In the beginning:

Katt: *staring at the paper**turns around* Ness! Do you know how to do???

Bryan: WHERE'S THE NABIIIIIIIIII?????

Siew Pun: *stares at paper* Aiyoh, die loooooo....

Min Hua: *opens paper**closes paper* Aiya, sleep lah!

Rach: *opens paper** immediately starts writing furiously* haha :)

Me: *opens paper**stare* I'm screwed.

During the middle of the paper:

*Mama mia song playing in the background*

Hazrul: Mama miaaaa....

Katt: *bobbing head up and down while writing* Here we go again...

Class: MAMA!

Me: Count Camillo Benso telah menyatukan negara Itali MAMA MIA! dengan meminta bantuan daripada MAMA MIA! Napoleon.

Yep, that was how Sejarah went :) I swear that classroom is the worst place to have an examination. It's right next to the swimming pool and the canteen. So when the primary kids have their swimming lesson I can hear Yew Eng asking them to line up and swim. I couldn't even write my karangan properly.

I should really start studying Perdagangan tonight. Hah! Fat chance :)

I'm desperate for a new phone. I think my current phone hates me and that's why it's rebelling against me :( Help me choose! Which one??? I blame this decision making disability on Lisa. Hehe.

So I woke up at 10 yesterday with the objective of studying BUT I failed. sigh. Well, let me tell you how my day went. After I woke up, I watched Criminal Minds. Then Lisa and I ordered MCD which we ate till around 1 pm while watching Desperate Housewives. It's not my fault she eats like a squirrel. Anyway, after lunch I thought I was going to start studying but I decided to relax first by playing Marble Blast. Mummy went out shortly to the hairdresser's so I seized that opportunity to wrap their gifts.Then I had tuition at 5.15 till 7. Then, we went out to Allegro for dinner till 11 where Lisa and I had 6 bowls of clam soup and 4 bowls of Tiramisu dessert (yeah, I know). Came home, started studying till 3 in the morning.

This morning, I woke up at 11 to study again and yes, although I may have proceeded more but I'm still not satisfied because I've still got Bio, Physics, Ekonomi and Sejarah to go. Arghhh! Someone please take a knife and stab me. Stab, stab, stab. Due to not being able to finish studying, I'm not going to school tomorrow for some intensive studying. Hah! Fat chance I'm going to finish studying by tomorrow.

On a lighter note, I love This Love by The Veronicas :)

There you go:

I, I,
I can see it in your eyes
Taste it in our first kiss
Stranger in this lonely town (this lonely town)
Save me from my emptiness (save me)

You took my hand
You told me it would be ok
I trusted you to hold my heart
Now fate is pulling me away, from you

Even if I leave you now
And it breaks my heart
Even if I'm not around
I won't give in
I can't give up
On this love

You've become a piece of me
Makes me sick to even think
Of mornings waking up alone
Searching for you in my sheets
Don't fade, away

Even if I leave you now
And it breaks my heart
Even if I'm not around
I won't give in (won't give in)
I can't give up (can't give up)
On this love

I can't just close the door
(on this love)
I never felt anything like this before
(like this love)
Tell me the truth no matter what we're going through
Will you hold on too 'cause

Even if I leave you now
And it breaks my heart
Even if I'm not around
I won't give in
I can't give up
On this love

Even if I leave you now (leave you now)
And it breaks my heart
Even if I'm not around (not around)
I won't give in (won't give in)
I can't give up (can't give up)
I won't give in (won't give in)
I can't give up (can't give up)
On this love

I've been doing intensive accounts exercises since 8 p.m. and it's 12.45 a.m. now. I should've been studying chem instead :( I am so so so screwed.

Well, I'm just gonna have to fit all bio, chem and physics tomorrow. Can I do it? YES I CAN!

Okay, that was a little too enthusiastic.

The reason why I blogged at 7 in the morning was because Sa ee was supposed to come over to send both Lisa and I to school. However, she didn't reach on time so mummy had to send us instead.

Katt, Jas and I really have no life because we started playing a naming game. Like, name a brand or an aminal or a country that begins with the letter A then we proceed to the letter B and so on, so forth. Min Hua and Siew Pun joined the game later on but they failed miserably. HAHA.

There wasn't any Cambridge class today so I went home early. Sa ee came with mummy and Lisa to pick me up. I like the Harrier, it's really comfortable.

Something funny came up in the car as Ling was going for her formal and during the after party her main concern was food. Then Sa ee and mummy started saying that if Lisa went to the after party, she'd only think of going home to sleep and Ling would think of food whereas I'd think of partying. hahahhahaha. We're so different in many ways but we're still united as one in one very special way :)

I'm exhausted, I can't fight anymore. You don't get me but you say I don't get you. So much is expected of me and when I don't meet your expectations, you're disappointed in me but you just don't understand that I'm not that person. You show your emotions openly whereas I show mine in a subtle manner but you don't see it even though you say you do. If you do, then we wouldn't be having this isn't it? And now, there's a thin line between me and that door. I swore to myself that I will never let it happen again and if I have to take the necessary actions to protect myself then I will. The only keeping me from crossing that line is the fact that my heart is with you. Don't break it, keep it.

It's 7 a.m. in the morning and I'm blogging. That's a first.

Well anyway, I was planning on blogging last night but I didn't get a chance to as a I was studying and by the time I stopped it was already too late to blog. I didn't go for tuition coz I was sure that I'd fall asleep what with all the talking going on and straying off the topic. So I stayed home, watched American Idol while doing my accounts homework and then proceeded to study chem. It didn't go as well as I hoped it would coz Lisa was watching Desperate Housewives next to me plus not to mention other distractions.

Oops, I have to go.

What did I learn during English today?

How to roll a marble :) through the computer. Well, you can't blame me alright. We were all supposed to read Ms. Tye's blog for notes on literature but obviously no one would read it right? So I know some were in facebook. some were chatting, some were surfing and I was marbling (I don't think that's a word).

I finally bought my accounts workbooks, the one that Katt uses for her tuition so I can start doing exercises anytime soon. I still need to study A LOT of things, I am so dead.

Oh damn it, I forgot all about my Cambridge homework. Ughhhh!

I want to kill the flu virus :(

I'm starting to dislike my internet connection. It keeps going on and off causing me to get really, really frustrated.

Well, all the late nights and lack of water finally caught up to me because I'm down with the flu. It's better today but yesterday was really bad. I came home after Cambridge class with a heavy head and my flu already there. Then at 8.00 pm I had BM tuition which I really didn't wanna go for but I forced myself to because I've missed quite a lot already due to sports practices and stuff. So when I arrived I was still alright. However, when he started talking I could feel my eyes slowly closing and I was fighting with all my might to keep them open. I am NOT exaggerating. I nearly wanted to tell him that I couldn't take it anymore and that I needed to go home to sleep but I toughed it out till the end of class. Very, very bad day.

Lisa's over for the week because her parents are in Hong Kong. I think Sa-ee's coming over to teach her how to cook simple dishes so that she can survive in UK. But we need not worry as Lisa can survive on nothing but bread :)

Exams are next week.

Somehow that statement hasn't really sinked into my brains yet. Or I would be furiously studying right now but I'm not.

Moral is another pain in the buttocks because the format that Ms Sharmilah taught us last year is different from the format that Pn. Nor wants. So that basically means that we have to start from scratch. Well, at least I've nearly gotten all my pictures taken so I just need to print them out.

Blogger's taking a really long time to upload my pictures but I actually think that it's my internet connection's fault. But here are some of the pictures of today:

Labor's Day. A day to recognize all the laborers and to give them a day off. My theory is, if we students get a day off on Labor's Day too then that means that we don't have to do our homework either :)

Well, that was my way of getting out of doing my increasing pile of homework. I woke up at 2.30 anyway so whatever hopes of getting any work done was automatically destroyed. Lisa and Gee-ee came over for laksa then a few hours after that I had BM tuition. At the end of the day, my guilty conscious got hold of me and I ended up finishing my add math tuition homework and I'm on the way of doing one essay for my moral project. Yay me!

Lisa thinks I have flesh-eating fishes in my fish tank and that's why I can't stick my finger in :)
