Feel hot this festive season!
Feeling bland this festive season?Need something to spice up your wardrobe?Want guys to drool over you?
Look no further then!
http://simpli-cious.blogspot.com/
This fashion heaven is guaranteed to spoil you with choices.
Feeling flirtatious?Want something exotic?Or just seeking something casual?Don't worry,it's all there!
Just click on it,you know you want to!No harm browsing through.Just think of it as window shopping xD.
(Erm,it's basically an online boutique ran by my cousin.So if you're interested,just tell me and I might be able to get you a discount or something.I can get the stock directly from her,so yeah.She's currently in Hong Kong and will be back on the 27th.
So ladies,no need for you to shop till your feet ache when you can have the shopping done right from the comfort of your own home! And sorry men,nothing for us there.Guess we'll have to do our shopping the old fashioned way :( )
Wow,2 posts in a day,that's a new record.

It's that time of the year again.
Hear the bells ring,the sled dashing through the snow.Yep,it's that time of the year again.The time where miracles are supposed to happen,when we put aside our busy schedules to once again appreciate the littler things in life.The happy glee on the children's faces as they carefully rip their presents open,the warm embrace of loved ones,a cozy dinner with the family.Christmas huh?
Last year I wrote I wasn't really sure what Christmas really was about for me.This year is no different I guess.Maybe next year.Hmm,who knows.I have this nagging feeling that next year might be different.
Cheers.
oh and
JOY TO THE WORLDDD.

Genting really is a city of entertainment.
Came back from Genting yesterday and all I can say is...it was one hell of a trip!It was probably one of the best trips I've had in a while.The atmosphere was awesome,the weather was awesome(althought I was freezing 80% of the time),the rides were awesome and most importantly,the company was AWESOME.
I can still remember it so clearly,starting with the weird albeit cute clown that Mun Suet seemed to take a liking to,shouting in the cable car and waving to the ones that pass by,jumping on Jason's back,being spun around and round and round while singing I Believe I Can Fly,the thrilling sensation of being turned around 180 degrees at God knows how many km/h while screaming at the top of our lungs,swinging back and forth as the momentum builds up and as we roar,riding up a 45 degree slope and then splashing into waters which were contaminated with who knows what,spending 20 bucks trying to win something but to no avail -.- (mark my words,I will win something next time! Oh,and I hate Eric for winning Shemale on his first try -.-), the feeling of your heart being thrown out of it's rightful place while watching the night scenery(imagine seeing KL from Genting,haha.At least,I think it was KL.Penguin said it is!),running in a wannabe F1 race with the freezing winds in our face,being rejected to sit on a ride because I was too heavy (go ahead and laugh!that ride is weightist -.-),playing pepsi cola infront of the theme park entrance with everyone watching us (I was the first to be kicked out,haha),eating overpriced food which these people should be sued for,sitting in a circle on the ground just outside Starbucks while celebrating fhan tong's (chong sheng) birthday,watching the hilarious gay moments (seriously,it was damn gay,haha.Nobody can pull it off better than fhan thong and his gay partner Jason),trying to do my business in the toilet while people start entering and invading my privacy xD.And not forgetting the camwhoring sessions in pretty much any place you can think of.
I think that's pretty much it.It was so much fun haha.For the whole day,I felt like my worries were washed away for the mean time.I forgot all about yesterday and tomorrow,and just had fun.It was like a temporary escape from reality,and that's what everyone needs once in a while as the burden life brings can be rather overwhelming at times.
Thanks to everyone that made it happen,haha.
You can read a more detailed story about the trip on Eric's blog.
For now,i'm just gonna reminisce a little longer before rushing back into reality.

Nostalgia
Well,it's been a while +cough3monthscough+ since I've put up a proper post.You can probably guess the reasons.SPM,procrastination,laziness,etc.Mostly due to laziness.Without further ado,i'll just update a little bit about what's been going on.
29th November - 4th December
LLC (LEO Leadership Camp 2008)
Yeah,it's the camp that I was supposed to blog about but failed to last year.It's the camp that I miss so much even till this day.It was a camp that brought me great memories that will probably linger in my mind forever.It's that awesome of a camp.And this year was no exception.It was a different experience,being part of the committee.The responsibility you bear is much greater,what with the lives of 46 people in your hands.And of course not forgetting the maximum of 4 hours sleep we get every night.Still,it was worth it.
The experience was...nostalgic,to say the least.When I stepped onto the grounds of Kem Bina Semangat,a plethora of familiar memories rushed into my mind.It felt weird being back there,seeing everything just the way it was.Well,almost everything.
The people were different this time.Different participants,different committees,different facilitators.But I guess that's what makes going to LLC again that much more exciting.
At first,I went as someone with no particular goal in mind.You know,just helping out and having fun.But then,slowly,I started to realise something.I think I was actually there to help the participants have a wonderful time just like I did last year.
When I saw them having fun,saw them working hard together,it gave me an undescribable feeling.A really perplexing yet nice feeling.
LLC isn't just about learning leadership skills imo.It's a place where you get to discover new things.Wether it is about yourself,the people around you or the way life works sometimes.
Even as a second-timer,I learned new things.I believe it's a different experience each time,and new lessons are taught.For example,I learned that it's okay to do your business in the jungle (haha,sorry jack) and it's actually possible to see shooting stars in Malaysia.LLC is like a teacher with a vast amount of knowledge to impart to each and every one of us.
That's about all I'm writing about LLC.All in all,it was (sorry Lion Clayton,my vocab really is bad) awesome and I wouldn't mind going again next year.
Oh,yeah,and I also learned that my skin actually has the potential to turn as dark as an Indian's.(no offense)
Next up is LEO Christmas Charity Bazaar.It's pretty much a bazaar where we sell miscellaneous stuff to fund some orphanages.Our barang-barang include stuffed toys,stationaries,WWF stuff,etc.So for whoever that reads this,if you've got the time,just drop by and maybe do a good deed this christmas.You don't have to buy things from our store.You can even donate things to the orphans.We have a christmas tree chock full (well,not anymore) of names of the orphans.You can choose one of the names from the tree and donate something to him/her.Donations of cash are also accepted.
Before you start asking,"Why should I help them?I've got better things to spend my money on,like christmas gifits",think about the orphans who don't have anyone to spend christmas with them!Think about how priviledged we are to be able to sing Christmas carols without a care in the world and exchange gifts with our relatives.Wouldn't you want to spread that priviledge?Then again,it's up to you,nobody is forcing you.Or are we? >)
LEO Christmas Charity Bazaar
Venue:Subang Parade,in front of Uncle Lim's (you can go shopping afterwards!)
Date:12th,13th and 14th of December 2008
Time:10 am-10 pm
Be there,or be square.(because i'll be stuffing a spongebob doll down your throat)
Okay,time to go...think.

I don't know.
I just don't really know anymore.Everything feels like a blank in my mind right now,like a black hole just went through it.It's that feeling where like your heart feels like it's being crushed by a ton of bricks.I detest this unsettling,insecure feeling.
Bleh,this blog has been dead for 3 months and the first thing I post is some retarded complaint.I'll post a proper post next time,for whoever that still reads my blog LOL.

Moments in the sun
Back from LOC at last,haha.It unexpectedly turned out to be fun.I thought it was gonna be filled with boring lectures and talks,but I was totally wrong.It was pretty awesome what with moments of throwing huge pails of water at the participants (for once it wasn't me getting splashed LOL),sleeping under the stars,random basketball sessions and of course,not forgetting our utter failure with Code 0500 (aka Operasi Burung Hantu) LOL.I know you all hate us for waking you all up at 5 a.m. with our fake as hell acting xD.I only got like 30 minutes of sleep that night,but it was worth it,seeing everyone's blur faces in the morning,haha.
I'm still experiencing that lingering feeling that happens after every kickass camp I go to.It isn't as strong as it was after LLC though.After LOC,i'm really really looking forward to LLC 2008.But before that,i'm gonna have to face reality in the butt,aka SPM.Trials start next week and i'm scared as hell >/.Will post more about LOC once I get the pictures I guess.And i'll show a picture that probably shouldn't be seen by any of the participants LOL.
Well,back to the books.

Of ramblings and ventings.
Tick tock.
Time seems to be slipping so easily out of my hands,and I can't seem to stop it from doing so.It's just speeding by so fast,that I barely notice it passing me by.I think i'm being a little paranoid by saying this,but time seems to passing faster and faster every year.I wonder if I'm the only one feeling this,hmm.Maybe time actually has an acceleration,going faster and faster each year! (Okay,i've been doing too much physics.)
Trials in about a month,give or take.Then comes the big boss in another 2 months.I don't seem to be in my panic mode yet >/.Someone help meeee.
And now for some quotes to glorify the oh so wonderful thing we call time.
“You can't change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying about the future”
“Don’t count every hour in the day, make every hour in the day count.”
“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” - Steve Jobs (Apple co-founder)
“The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.” - Albert Einstein
“Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't
own it, but you can use it. You can't keep
it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it
you can never get it back.” -HarveyMcKay
"But what minutes! Count them by sensation, and not by calendars, and each moment is a day." ~Benjamin Disraeli
Meaningful,no?
I feel like we're missing out on so much in this world,given the little time we have.I WANT MORE TIME,GIMME MORE TIME.
Sigh,guess i'll just have to be content with what I have right now.I can't wait till this whole overexaggerated SPM hype is over.I can almost smell the scent of me stripping naked and running through the streets once it's over.Okay,I won't do that,LOL.Too many innocent people will go blind.
On another note,
I'm sure most of you have heard the news about how Lin Miaoke (girl on the left) was lip-synching 'Ode to the Motherland' during the Olympics opening ceremony.And the reason the original singer,Yang Peiyi(girl on the right),wasn't onstage?No,it wasn't because she came down with a fever or had a last minute stomach ache.It was because she wasn't pretty enough.I was like,wtf,when I saw that.Like seriously,what kind of bullshit is this?And they even glorified Lin Miaoke to such an extent.
Discrimination like this pisses me off the most.Didn't they ever think about how Yang Peiyi felt?She must've been devastated when she was told that.Poor girl.I hope she doesn't grow up traumatized or something.And she's only 7 years old!Damned people these days,won't even go easy on a little girl's feelings.
This is like an insult to everyone watching the Olympics.The Olympics is supposed to be a sacred event,and things like this just tarnishes whatever grandeur it has.
The child on camera had to be flawless in looks, in her feelings and in her expression," he said.
Flawless?What the hell?Flawless is such an overrated word.There is no way to define perfection.Anything can be made to look perfect,if not almost.To me,portraying the truth is much more closer to perfection than giving us some fake.And all of this for their "national interest"?This is just another proof that the human mind is full of nothing but self-centered thoughts (no offense).
I have nothing against Lin Miaoke though,she looks like a sweet girl,and probably didn't really know what was going on.
This isn't the only time these kind of things happened.People get discriminated everyday for the way they look to the point that it's just sickening.I think everyone looks perfect in their own way.
What happened to the good ol' virtue of 'It's what's inside that counts'?
We need to start practicing what we preach.

Leo Installation SMKTS 2008
I'll just let the pictures and videos do the talking.Excuse the crappy quality and my poor camera skills xD
Thomas and Michael and The Revelations,or something like that
Hui Ying singing 'Collide' by Howie Day.She has an amazing voice,seriously.
Chien Lung,Kian Min and Chong Sheng xD.
Old Bod's performing 'Here in My Home' by Malaysian Artistes' for Unity.Aren't they just adorable?
Overall,it was a pretty awesome install.Thumbs up to the organizing committee.I have officially stepped down from the Leo Club of SMKTS,sigh.I had some of the greatest times of my life in the club.Guess it's time to let go.
Thanks for the memories.

Take another gander.
Time to revive this dead blog.I didn't write this small anecdote,mind you.
One day, a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family. On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"
"It was great, Dad."
"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.
"Oh yeah," said the son.
"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.
The son answered, "I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden, and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden, and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard, and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on, and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us; they have friends to protect them."
The boy's father was speechless.
Then his son added, "Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are."
I thought it was a kinda cool story.Shows how superficial some people's thinking can be.In this case,the father.Sometimes we just need to see a little more than what's on the surface.Don't just go and assume that something so ugly or repulsive,is equally as disgusting inside.We need to look at things from different angles,maybe peering from the top,or perhaps from the base?Though,we can be so stubborn sometimes that we refuse to tilt our heads even for a second.That's when you need someone to crack that damned neck of yours,to bring you back to reality.
I'm starting to think that the poorer people are really the ones that are enjoying what life is about.Sure,they may not enjoy all the luxuries of life like we do,but at least they know how to appreciate whatever it is they have or get.Don't take things for granted,seriously.
I feel a little hypocritical by typing all this,haha.
Life can be a bitch at times,sure,but every other second when it isn't,it just seems so beautiful that it alleviates all the hate and sorrow from your body,and just makes you stare at it in wonder.

An explosion of words.
I hate this feeling.The feeling you get when there's like a million things you want to say,but you just don't know where to start.If only all these words could be turned into pictures,life would be so much easier.
On another note,as Julius Caesar once said,
"Vēnī, vīdī, vīcī,"
We came,we saw,we conquered.
The battle is over,and we stride out with our heads up high,as we triumphed over the rest.
PBSM(the team i'm in) came out as the winners of the marching competition for the unit beruniform division >).I'm so proud of you guys.We were one of the underdogs,but we showed em huh?Congrats guys,you all deserved it.We gave it our all during that last performance,and man did it rock.
To the other teams,I take my hat off to you guys.You all did an awesome job,haha.The competition was a really close call this year though.It was impossible to predict who would come out as the champion.But in the end,we all emerged winners anyway.To me,winning isn't the most important thing.It's about giving it your all and learning something in the process.Getting 1st place is just like...an added bonus,something like getting 2 pay cheques in a month.nottomentionthesyokfeelingyouget
We all started out as strangers,but as the weeks passed by,we all got closer to each other through the sweat and tears we shed,after marching for hours on end in the condemned hot-as-hell sun and even in the rain.And not to mention sacrificing our skin,turning into chocolates,haha.The camaderie that was formed.That is one of the things I love about marching.It's a feeling you wouldn't understand unless you tried it for yourself.It's a feeling you'll never regret having,seriously.
And the main thing I love about marching is probably when we take the stage,haha.The feeling you get as everyone watches you,sweat trickling down your forehead,as you try your hardest not to screw up the formation,during that time which you'll be giving every ounce of spirit you have in you.It's an undescribable feeling,but you feel it when you know that you've definitely given everything you've got.It's a damn syok feeling haha >)
Lastly,thank you to everyone for doing your best.I'm gonna miss you guys haha.anddefinitelynotthepractices
Sigh,that's the end of another amazing thing to hit my life.The other being retiring from the school's Leo Club,=(. Why must things come to an end in life?Why must life be so cruel?I had some of the greatest times of my life in Leo.Especially during LLC 2007,haha. whichistillhavenotpostedareviewaboutandiprobablyneverwill
Congratulations to the new B.O.D's.I know you guys can take the club to the next level >).And kudos to the previous B.O.D's for everything you've done for the club.
With every end,comes a new beginning.
Didn't bring camera for sports day so no pictures >/.Hopefully,I can get my hands on some.

It's time.
In about 2 hours from now,the real battle will begin.All the torturous and strenous practices we've gone through will come to an end.Everything we've learned will be put to the test.The competition is rather tough this year.Even though the odds seem against us,we'll march on anyway,praying hard that it will work out,and that we will prevail in the end.

Buried beneath all the lies.
Bleh,tiring day.Had marching practice from 1 to 3 which wasn't pleasant at all.Started raining around 2,but we still marched on anyway xD.It got really heavy around 2.30,at which I danced in the rain for a while before taking shelter >).
Gonna be having practice every day after school for the next 7 days except on Sunday -.-.This is gonna be suck real hard.They're slave drivers,seriously.Well,hopefully we can win the competition this year.We're going all out this time,so I'll just hope for the best.
During English lesson,our "hot and sexy teacher" as quoted by Zhe Kai,made us do an activity.It was......amusing to say the least >).We all had to be "nice" for the day.Basically,she handed out A4 papers to everyone,and we were supposed to write our name down and pass it around the class.Everyone was supposed to write something nice about him/her.And man,I can tell you this,it.was.not.easy.at.all. xD I guess i'm just too evil to begin with.I had a hard time resisting giving sarcastic/mean/cynical comments >).
In the end,we got back all our masterpieces,and this is what mine looked like
Hahahaha,I wonder how much of it is true xD.
Kinda makes you wonder what everyone actually thinks about you doesn't it?Not to be cynical or anything >) .
Oh ya,was supposed to post this yesterday,but whatever.
Happy +coughnotcough+ birthday to the noob >).
Hope you won't be as noob after your sweet 16.
And also,happy birthday to the person who always-says-he-will-do-badly-in-his-exam-papers- but-always-does-so-well-in-the-end,my buddy Weng Hoe.

Dé·jà vu
School reoopens tomorrow,haha.Not the sweetest thing to happen.I always get this weird feeling everytime,on the last day of every long holiday.It's kinda hard to describe it.I guess I would have to say it's like.....
I don't want to leave the comforts of the holidays,but at the same time,I miss that nauseating yet nostalgic atmosphere that we can't seem to hate.
Miss seeing the familiar faces we always look at,the teachers rushing to their respective classrooms to make their students' lives a living hell with that devilish grin on their faces,(haha,just kidding,you know I love you teachers,well,some of them anyway.) and most importantly the friends,which without them,school just wouldn't be school anymore.
And of course,let's not forget the pile of books that we'll have to bring to school again,to read through them over and over and over,wishing we could just burn them whilst doing so.
I'm gonna have to work a lot harder this term to make up for the last,sigh.Let's just hope this term will be much better than the last.It is the final term of our high school years after all.
Anyway,
Dé·jà vu
Déjà vu (pronounced /ˈdeɪʒɑː ˈvuː/ (help·info); French /deʒa vy/ (help·info) "already seen"; also called paramnesia , from Greek παρα para, "near" + μνήμη mnēmē, "memory") is the experience of feeling sure that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously (an individual feels as though an event has already happened or has repeated itself).
Have you all ever gotten that feeling before?That feeling where like,you feel you've been in that situation before.The same atmosphere,the same people around you,the same expression on your face.When it happens,it's like,you can't help thinking at the back of your brain that you've experienced it before.It's creepy yet at the same time,gives you that feeling of intrigue.Sometimes I feel like I've dreamt about it before,but I won't recall it until it actually happens.It happens to me rather frequently if I have to say so myself.Maybe we actually have the ability to foresee the future without actually realising it? Hmm.Think Hiro Nakamura!
He can actually go into the future though >/.
Nothing more to be said.Time to make some sweet dreams.Maybe i'll be able to actually remember my 'predictions' this time. xD
On an utterly completely different note,
I feel like I can finally let go of these feelings.

Leo Forum 2008
....is what I should be posting about,but i'm lazy as hell to elaborate on the stuff
that happened.So i'll just talk about some of the interesting stuff.
I had my shares of laughter,and not forgetting the adrenaline-rushed dance floor moments.
Also,I miss waking up in my literally arctic cold freezing room.And of course the crazy moments with my roommates,Jun Hsien,Nicholas and the pro womanizer(damn him) Han Liang.
Our club only got like..10 awards?I think.Kind of disappointing.Those guys have a grudge on us
or something >/.We deserve better!
On the first night,I realised Malaysia actually has talent!No thanks to the Leo Idol finalists -.-
Save a few of course.I'm talking about Dina,the 1st runner-up for the 1st season of Malaysian Idol.
She brought the house down with the songs Umbrella and No One,seriously.
They turned the place into a dance floor after the event ended,too bad I didn't stay.
On the second night,the food was freaking awesome.It's like the food served in those fancy
Chinese restaurants.Too bad I got full fast.
Then there were the auctions,probably one of the highlights of the night.Other than the Top award presentations of course.
We were given Leo Money throughout the forum to be used during the auctions.Our club bid like 19k for a RM30 digi reload card and a fruit basket,haha.
We were all like ......
At first,they told us the grand prize was worth RM 10,000.
We knew we didn't stand a chance with our current amount,so we combined with Assunta and PJI,and it still wasn't enough!
So we combined with other clubs from Region 7 &8,though I've forgotten which,sorry.
We bid a mind-blowing amount of 61k!
And the grand prize is.....
A donation of RM 10,000 to the China earthquake victims! LOL
We got owned.But at least we did some charity xD.Maybe karma will repay us in its own way.
Then after that,they turned the place into a dance floor again,and this time I stayed for a while.
Everyone was getting into the mood,dancing to the beat of Get Low,The Way I Are among others.
The last night kinda sucked.Security was tight as hell.Couldn't even have fun for the last time.
Then the next day,at the closing ceremony,during the Q&A session for the YE program (Youth Exchange),a heated debate followed.The contenders:
Lion Ivan and Clayton vs the people on the stage (no idea what their names are xD)
They couldn't even answer Lion Ivan's and Clayton's questions properly.Tsk
The commotion eventually died down.
The bus returning home arrived at around 4 p.m.
So we had about 4 hours of free time.
Once again,they turned the hall into a dance floor.But this time,nobody seemed
to care.
Jing scared the shit out of us with the mask he brought.And what was even scarier was when
Yong Hui wore it.Seriously,she.was.scary.
I'll post the picture later,hopefully.
We returned home with a heavy heart,wanting to stay even if its just a little longer.
That's about it.Reached home around 10 p.m. I don't even know why it took that long LOL.
Overall,the whole forum experience was different than expected.
Oh yeah,congrats to SMKDJ for getting the Top Leo President Award (Lee Keng).Some of you might know her xD.And also,congrats to SMK Assunta for getting the Top Leo Club Award.
The incoming noob president better work harder >) You know who you are.
I really need to update more often.

Epiphany
(Blogging when I shouldn't be,xD.)
So,2 days of exams left.Bio 1 and Maths 1.Seems pretty easy(hopefully),so i'm starting to sink into my lazing mood again.Then again,when have I never been in my lazing mood.
I think I did pretty badly in my exams this time around.I don't know why,but I just can't seem to get into the studying mood >_>.And seems like i'm not the only one with this problem.Pre-SPM epidemic,perhaps?Just can't seem to concentrate this year.
Anyways.
I found this amazing singer today.Like seriously amazing.I know I should've known about her a long time ago,but what can I say,I'm a slow guy.
Some of you may know her,especially Kingdom Heart fans.
She is none other than.........
Yep,Utada Hikaru.
Even though I'm not an avid fan of Japanese songs(though she sings English songs),I still think her songs are amazing.Her fluency in english surprised me a little.It's pretty rare to see a Japanese converse in english as good as her.Overall,she has an amazing voice =).
+coughAndshe'shottobootcough+
Here's one of my favourite songs from her that I've heard so far.
It's the opening theme for Kingdom Hearts 2 for PS2.
Japanese version (Passion)
English version (Sanctuary)
IMO,the japanese version is much better.
And here's her singing a song I'm sure all of us are familiar with.
(Utada Hikaru singing Boulevard of Broken Dreams.)
When I first heard that,I was like.....ohmygod.Damn,she's good.
Don't take my word for it though.Listen to her for yourself.She's quickly becoming one of my favourite singers xD.
Well,better get to bed.I didn't study at all today >).Hope I won't do too bad on Bio 1.I'm slowly giving up on my exam results >_>.

Blah
Hmm...changed my blog header picture.Took the picture from my apartment window.Scary no? >=)
When I first saw it,I was like,"Damn,that's so cool,"
Guess what it looks like xD
----------------------------------------------------------------
What would you do when fate was against you?Would you still fight?Or just give up altogether?
What if the odds were as much as you being able to fly without wings?Fate has a dumb way of toying with our lives.I wish it would consider our feelings for once -_-
Well,back to emo-ing and trying to study.Tomorrow's gonna be a long day.

and ze clock strikes midnight.
Lol,been a month since I last blogged -_-.As usual,procrastination.Hmm,so....nothing much happened in the past month,maybe the Charity Carnival Bazaar,but that's it.Lots of homework these few days (maybe it's because I refuse to do them,hmm...).Feeling left behind on my studies,especially chem,bio and physics =/.I need to start bucking up,and focus on getting that straight A's i'm aiming for.But as for now,the future looks pretty bleak.So right now,i'm waiting for that boost of motivation,though seems like its never coming.
Sooo,right now i'm addicted with this song =)
This video is from when he sang at some concert,so the sound is not that clear,but I like the background xD
A more clearer version
Cinderell by Steven Curtis Chapman
She spins and she sways to whatever song plays,
Without a care in the world.
And I'm sitting here wearing the weight of the world on my shoulders.
It's been a long day and there's still work to do,
She's pulling at me saying "Dad I need you!
There's a ball at the castle and I've been invited and I need to practice my dancin'"
"Oh please, daddy, please!"
Chorus:
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone.
Verse 2:
She says he's a nice guy and I'd be impressed
She wants to know if I approve of the dress
She says, "Dad the prom is just one week away
And I need to practice my dancin'
"Oh please, daddy , please!"
Chorus:
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone
She will be gone
Verse 3:
But she came home today with a ring on her hand
Just glowin' and tellin' us all they had planned
She says, "Dad the wedding's still six months away but I need to practice my dancin'
"Oh please, daddy , please!"
Chorus:
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone
This song is for all the dad's out there who has daughters =)
Though it doesn't apply to me,I love it because I think the lyric is cute xD.Call me weird if you want.
(I should've posted this on Father's Day,but oh well...)
Well,that's about it for now.Still got an essay to do =/.
Ciao.

Dissatisfaction
It's been a while since I last blogged...
It's not that I didn't have time to blog,it's more like...I had nothing to blog about.(plus procrastination had played a part of course)
Had LEO orientation today,and my legs.freaking.hurt.
Seriously.I could barely walk anymore :(
It wouldn't have been so painful if I didn't have marching practice in the morning before orientation -.-.All that stamping with my feet didn't help.I hope I can go to school on monday.*coughnotcough*
We had station games during the orientation,and man did they rock.I was incharge of the Snowy Polo station (i think that's what they call it).Basically,we laid a watermelon before them,and they had to bite as much off as possible in a given time.Then,they had to dunk their head in a basin of flour,and try to find polo sweets xD.They couldn't use their hands at all for both parts.LLC,anyone? =D.(That reminds me,I still haven't posted about LLC,LOL.)There were also other stations like charade(was funny seeing them act it out),caterpillar,fear factor(we used real worms =D) and commando crawl.I think there was one or two more,but I forgot their names.And after all that,comes the worse part.Cleaning up.Dun dun dun.We had to clean up our respective stations,and since I was also incharge of cleanliness,I had to check the whole school to make sure it was clean.So I had to walk around the whole school(well almost).I even double (or was it triple) checked.Thus,the leg pain.I had to miss out on the drama that was being performed =(.But,it was worth it.Everyone got to have fun,and most importantly,the juniors,seniors and probates got closer to each other,even if it is a lil' bit.
Orientations are so much better when you aren't one of the participants =D.You get to see everyone squirm and make a fool out of themselves xD.(I'm mean,I know)But of course,the juniors and seniors had their share of fun.We splashed each other with water at the station I was at,since there were pipes there.And we had balloons.Lots and lots of balloons.And flour.What do you get when we have the equation water + balloon + flour?You do the math =D.So overall,the orientation owned =D.Too bad this is my last year in our schools LEO club,=(.I'll miss orientation.And a whole hell lot of other things.I guess one the next few posts is gonna be about the last year in school,the worse year ever (to me anyway).
Despite all the excitement and fun,it's one of those days again.Those days where you feel so dissatisfied,never feeling content no matter how much you get.I have no idea why either.I should be happy and satisfied,but i'm not.I feel like an ingrate,not being thankful for what I have.But then again,
that's what they always tell us to do.
As humans,I don't think we can ever be truly satisfied.We will
always want more even if we don't show it.
It's kinda sad...Why can't we just feel content? Someone kick me please.
Well,that's it for now.Not much to blog about but my complaints.I complain too much,I know.I should've been born a girl,xD. [no offence to girls =P (or is there?)]
Dun dun dun,
Zu Wen(Tai Ko)

Confusion is like going to a buffet,not knowing what to eat first.
I've been feeling rather confused and frustrated these few days.The worst part is I have no bloody idea why.Maybe it's cause my pile of homework is mounting higher and higher by the day,or maybe it's cause I have to hand in my moral project tomorrow,and I still have 2 tugasan harian and 2 kerja amal to finish up (yet I still have time to write this post >_>).But I dunno...last year was the same,and I didn't feel this bad.I seem to be rather bitter these few days.I curse for no apparent reason,and just get frustrated easily.Ohmygod,I think i'm PMS-ing. >_>
Well,whatever.It'll pass...I hope.
Now,for the emo part of the post =D
The Feelings You Left Behind
When you look at yourself,
You just can’t help but wonder,
Wonder about the feelings that were left behind.
The feelings that were never shown,
All bottled up inside.
The words that were never said,
Only made it worse,
The price that had to be paid,
With an empty purse.
The bliss that you could’ve felt,
The grieve that you should’ve felt,
The regret that has yet to come,
All feelings without within.
It was all just a fallacy,
Little pieces that didn’t make sense.
Looking into the sky,
You rendered it all,
Looking back to the path,
You take a step of it all.
Just a little something I came up with +evenwhenIhadmymoralprojecttodocough+
Hope it makes sense.I don't even know how I come up with these things.I'm just weird like that =D.
Okay,that's it.I really really really have got to get back to my project.

School Stinks,srsly.
Ahhhh,this sucks.It's 10.30 p.m. and I'm not even close to finishing my dumb Bio project -.-.I was pretty sure I was gonna start yesterday,but I guess that was shot down too.Procrastinating blowsss.I still have a moral project that has yet to be touched,and the deadline's at the end of the month.And to make matters worse,I have to revise all my Add maths,Chem,Physics crap.
Dammit.I feel like emoing now.Anyone wanna join me? D:
I really should stop making up excuses to not do my project,like what i'm doing right now >_>.Well,that's it.No emo post this time.Instead,have some beautiful fireworks =D.Recorded by me,during the countdown in 1 Utama last year.Magnific,no?
Boom!
P.S:Don't mind the voices in the background.Just some random crap.
