goodbye to LSS5..

Today, I stepped out of the class of vibrant characters. The very class I shared all my joy and laughter for about 2 months. I'll definitely be missing all of you although I am no longer a part of the big family of the class, noisiestly the best, I should say. Anyway, here are some updates of how I am doing in my new class.

Lessons were fun today and I am relieved that I could follow up and understand when the teacher explained. Puan Fairoz said I looked familiar. Then she remembered that I came from LSS5. It just felt so weird to be taught by her again in a completely different environment. Oh ya, before I forget, the class consists of only 16 students, which is less than half of the number of students in S5. A quarter of the class are left handed - me, Kevin, Chin Hwa and Adele. Coincidentally, we are all sitting in the same row.

I realised that the class is quiet. All the chattering at the back of the class is all gone. No more turtle-ish Clarence to crack up jokes and Bernard with his oldies. No more small chats with Yew Wai and Wai Leng during free periods. No more Harpreet or Simran to turn the class upside down with their giggles. Oh, how I miss those moments! =)

happy birthday, dad!~

Dad's birthday was yesterday, or rather a few hours ago. One thing I like about birthdays is that there will be cakes. Well, I don't exactly like cakes. Only chocolatey ones actually. Something like this one. Orange top and chocolate beans around the sides. MOM CHOSE IT! She has fine taste. No doubt about that. That's a credit for you, mommy dearie! The raisins are her idea. The cake didn't come with it. I wonder where she got those raisins from. Besides looking good, the taste is superb too. Okay, enough of cakes.

My appeal result to transfer to the arts is still unknown.

Two days ago, a neighbour of mine told me something about a dalmation loitering outside my house. Ah, another suitor perhaps? I didn't know she's so popular. I wonder how will her pups look like? With spots or no spots? And the new generation will be known as dal-fy-ish. (dalmation + saffy-ish). Oh, compound words are so much fun.

true friends??

I don't know why the lyrics of Shining Friends touched me so. I've been listening to that song for like countless times, yet the lyrics didn't affect me in any way. But today, it finally did.

A little faith
Brightens a rainy day
Life is difficult
You can't go away
Don't hide yourselves in the corner
You have my place to stay
Sorrow is gonna say goodbye
Opens up you'll see the happy sunshine
Keep going on with your dream
Chasing tomorrow's sunrise
The spirit can never die

Sun will shine my friend
Won't let you cry my dear
Seeing you shed a tear
Make my world disappear
You'll never be alone in darkness
See my smile my friend
We are with you
Holding hands
You have got to believe
You are my destiny
We're meant to be your friends
That's what a friend should be

I suddenly had a thought . Do I have true friends? Or they are just my true friends during happy moments alone? A food for thought worth to ponder over.

This year: Mathematics = PRESSURE!!

I suddenly had the feeling that I am no longer in love with maths.

a love story..

You will get this in every fairy tale. Once upon a time..... and the story begins. It seems to me like a ritual to start each story with the four words. I will start mine otherwise because it didn't happen once upon a time. It happened only yesterday, or maybe the day before.

As I've stated in my previous entry, Saffy has got herself a beau. I don't know where he came from but that minor detail about him did not matter at all. Shall I proceed? Sit back and let the story unfolds.....

It was a beautiful night with the presence of a full moon and a cluster of stars shining brightly, illuminating the dark sky. (well, it might not be a full moon because I cannot remember but love stories ought to have full moons and not half or quartered moons to make them more dramatic and romantic)

Okay, I am digressing. Let me get to the heroine of the story.

A pair of sparkling brown eyes were enjoying that night's scenery and was wondering how do the stars glow and about other trivial matters in life. As she stood by the the gate, watching and guarding at the same time, she saw another figure walking on fours coming towards her direction. No, there were two of them. Two of her kind. As the strangers of the night came closer and met her in the eyes, she felt her heart beating uncontrollably. Was it fear? Was it anger? It's my most honoured duty to keep this neighbourhood safe! I must bark. I need to bark.

Poor Saffy tried to get her voice out but she couldn't. Something prevented her to do so. Then, another incident which followed proven to be a test to the two strangers. The most determined one would stay and not give up to get near to Saffy. A teenage boy emerged and uncoiled the hose. Then, he slowly aimed the mouth of it and turn on the tap. The two dogs were sprayed with water and they fled. By now, Saffy had found her voice and she barked continuously, realising it was the right thing to do. The boy, satisfied with what he had achieved, went back into the house and Saffy was now left all alone, as she reflected on the incidents a moment ago. As she was doing this, again, she saw it coming. This time there was only one.

They exchanged greetings and the introduction began. (I don't know canine language so I am so sorry I can't interpret what the conversation was all about)

It was really a great date. They had moments of silence as they both continued to be mesmerised by the night scenery although the clouds had covered the moon but it was still a night worth to be remembered nonetheless. Occasionally, her beau on the other side of the gate would look at Saffy to tell her about how beautiful she was. Then, she would glance back at him and whined like how she does on every other day when she's hungry.

Time sure passed quickly when one is having a good time.

Soon, it was time to say goodbye and it was a reluctant one for poor Saffy. However, her beau promised her there would be another night when they would be able to enjoy the great sky again and express their feelings to each other. Saffy agreed to this and took him for his word.

24 hours later...

She was once again at the gate even before twilight came. Every second seemed to be like eternity and there was no sight of him. Maybe he has his reasons for being late. I will wait.

Midnight came. She knew he was not coming. Her heart broke for the very first time. She was hurt. She was hurt because of the broken promise given by her first love. Then, she made a terrible vow not to fall in love ever again.

THE END

There's a moral behind this story.
For the ladies: Never trust boys. They lie a lot.
For the guys: Never tell lies or you will remain a bachelor for life.

my will..

If only I could turn back time. Well, if only I could. Things haven't been going smoothly for me lately. Life is definitely no longer a bed of roses and the thorns are growing in number.

Studying 8 subjects at the same time is not easy. I will die very, very soon without needing any terminal illness or poisons to aid me. I'll die buried under my books and this is what will be written as the cause of my death:

"Brain leakage due to unnecessary pressures caused by too much reading and writing. In conclusion, she was murdered by WORDS and FACTS. Therefore, these two elements are proven dangerous and ALL students are exempted from keeping in contact with them unless no further deaths are reported."

Oh ya, I need to write a will. It will be as following:

  • money-definitely to my parents and siblings. They can divide it into a ratio of 4:1. It will be my parents' choice as to whether they want to take one fifth or four fifth of it.
  • stationery set-my dear friends. =)
  • dresses-they will be auctioned.

Late night news: Saffy has got herself a suitor. I'll only let her marry if the suitor is good looking enough so that she can have wonderful pups. =D

shelly creatures..

Here are a some of the pictures which I had promised to post earlier.


One of the terrapins. They bite! Ouch!


Yoda (this shot is taken when he's busy enjoying his meal)
*I told you he can eat a lot*


My dearest turtles!! So sorry if the picture is blur. They swim too fast! Haha. A bunch of hyperactive creatures they are. =)

updates..

I shall not talk about terrible things which will actually make some of you out there cry.

Updates:
I have a new star tortoise named Yoda. He's really cute and loves to eat a lot. I will post his picture here as soon. Sometimes, I think I should buy some fish to rear and turn my home into a mini zoo. Currently, there are four types of animals.

  • Saffy with teeth as strong as steel and will bite anything that comes in her way.
  • Five turtles unnamed-it's pointless to name them since they can't answer you when you call them. (Yoda is a different case)
  • Three terrapins with no names either.
  • And last but not least, the vegetarian star tortoise named Yoda. (he was named by his previous owner, so as a form of gratitude and respect, we kept the name)

As I've said, I will not mention about terrible things but this one cannot resist not to be mentioned.

I WAS REJECTED!

How dejected I feel. Maybe this is a test from God to test my patience. I will endure it through and persevere no matter what. On the brighter side, I will be appealing tomorrow. With God's blessing, all things are possible. As the saying goes, we plan the work but God will work the plan. So, I guess it will work that way.

The time is drawing near. And I am happy about it. =)

the verse of the day..

I finally found the verse Mrs. Yee has suggested that the lazy don't eat.

For this is written as in Proverbs 19:15,
"Laziness casts one into a deep sleep,
And an idle person will suffer hunger."

And I am afraid I will die of starvation.

all about school..

No matter how fun LSS5 can be, I want to leave as soon as possible. The environment there is all right and the personalities of the people within that four-walled classroom are interesting, but, it's so difficult for me to fit in. I don't feel a sense of belonging being a part of it. I want July to come sooner.

I've been tagged by Aisyah
but I'll only do it later.

Mr. Karu asked me why I wanted to take B.M.. "I just like the subject!" came as a reply. He looked at me as though I came from Mars. I suppose he reacted that way because I am one of the few students who would be interested in that subject.

Mrs. Tan is freaking me out. I don't know why, but whenever she looks at me while speaking to the class just makes me feel nervous. I can't imagine what will happen if she were to call me to speak in front of the class. First, my heart would beat so fast and hard that it might burst. Secondly, my knees would start to tremble along with my hands and lips. And when my lips tremble, I can't speak properly which causes me to stammer and blabber in gibberish. Soon after that, she would have the impression that I came from another planet because she would not be able to comprehend me. How embarassing! I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK!! But I should know better that there's no way escaping this ordeal. I just have to get it done and over with quick.

If my application is rejected, I will definitely reapply.

wines..

Just came back from KL about 3 days ago after tasting the 'best' wines I've ever tasted. Red is better than white though. But I still prefer Sprite more simply because it's more tasty.

Feeling tired now and can't manage to spill anything here. I better sleep now. That's it duyun. I posted this for the sake of you. Appreciate it, will you? Hehe. =)

catty dreams..

The AF fever is back. This Saturday will be the first concert and I can't wait to watch. In the meantime, I have made a resolution. I'll skip the diaries and only watch the concert alone. The three Ds are what I see repeatedly in my mind now. Devotion, Discipline, Diligence.

Last two nights ago, I had a dream about this lion which came into my house. I don't know how it got in because the gates were closed and the only possibility that I could think of was that it went through the gates. And I thought that was the end of my life. It came near to me and I shut my eyes tight. Please don't come near me, please don't. I have a lot more to do with my life. I don't want to be devoured!! But dreams are dreams. The impossible happened. I stretched my arms out to the lion and gave it a hug. It responded by putting one of it's paws on my shoulder and hug me just the same.

It's really weird to have such a dream. It's even weirder when my mom told me she saw a cat in her dream that very same night. She told me that a cat came into the house. Well, of course, the cat she was referring to was just an ordinary cat. Not a big cat like The Lion.

I believe our dreams did linked together in a way or another which is what I call CATTY dreams.


Recently, my mom has invented a new phrase. It's raining Rosie and Saffy. Yes, Rosie is a cat. She's my neighbour's cat. I'll try putting her picture here as soon as I had snapped it. She's cute and Saffy loves barking at her. Maybe she's just jealous of Rosie's beauty. Haha.

off-hand answers in biology..

I am online not because I am trying to kill time. I have serious stuffs to do. I am doing my homework. Haa! You didn't read this wrongly. I am INDEED doing my homework ONLINE.

I have no references whatsoever to help in any of my science subjects which resulted me into looking for the anwers to the biology questions teacher gave as 'holiday homework' which literally means 'holiday stress' online. The murderous questions are simple, yet I can neither feel nor see the answers come flooding into my poor head. Yes, it has been rather poor these days considering the excessive amount of thinking that it had done for the past week.

If all the questions required off-hand answers, it'll be like these:

Explain the structure and functions of the following: (15 freaking marks)
a) cell wall
It's rather simple, isn't it? Cell wall simply means the wall of a cell. Functions? A wall is a tough structure so it's suppose to prevent the interior of the cell from breaking apart.

b) cytoplasm
Hm, this is slightly tricky. But not that much of a problem. Cytoplasm is the area surrounding the cell which is located within the boundary of the plasma membranes. The functions? It's a medium for circulation and distribution of water, minerals and other nutrients.

Nucleus, mitochondrion and chloroplasts have many features in common. Describe the similarities and differences in their structure, distributions and functions. (another 15 freaking marks)
Similarities:

- they are located in the cell

- they are called organelles

Differences:

- they are of different shapes and sizes

-they have different functions


And I am tired. I can't imagine the expression on her face if I were to hand in these answers to her. She'll be horrified and might paralyse instantly due to the shock she received after reading my work of masterpiece. When she recovers, she'll award me with a HUGE EGG in red for each question thanking me in gratitude for such absurd and extraordinary answers. Of course, I will gladly receive them as I know I truly deserve them more than anyone else.

At the same time, I don't want to be bashed up by Miss So-And-So. That is why I am searching so hard for decent answers to be put into writing.

Still waiting in anticipation for the Approval,
Me

second week..

The second week of school has been a mixture of fun and stressful week. For one thing, I realised that I love MUET more and more. Phonetics is so interesting that I actually discovered so many words that I have mispronounced for so many years ever since I learnt to speak. And of course, that makes me realised the fact that I am so poor in English that I don't deserve to get A for the oral exams last year.

Other subjects did not capture my attention as much as MUET. I am so sick of studying in a class where I don't feel that I belong in it and the whole idea of continuing with science just bothers me a lot.

Chemistry is such a fascinating subject. The teacher is so well, I should say, near perfect and her teaching never goes wrong. There's not a moment of awkwardness during her lessons. Everything is well explained and I know there's no reason for me not to understand all the concepts she has so carefully drilled into our tedious brains. Maybe, it's only MY brain. But queer as it is, I still can't find myself well-suited enough to study it. My brain has been rejecting it countless times.

I shall not talk about Biology as I am no longer, maybe sort of, lost a total interest in the subject. I failed in my first attempt to use the microscope in the lab. In fact, I failed ALL the attempts. I just don't fit to use such gadgets. And I will never learn to. I am always lost when the teacher speaks. Every term seems so foreign to me. I don't even recall having heard such terms last two years. For instance, isn't cytoplasm and cytosol the same thing? Why is there two different words? And what on earth are plasmids? Do they appear as free particles as well in the cell?

I AM IN TOTAL CONFUSION!!

Time to chill out. I am going to read economics now. At least I feel comfortable and have the joy memorising all the facts. I am not exaggerating if I say I feel like I was born to study social science. I made the wrong choice last two years and I will never repeat my mistake again this year.

first day of school..

I am too lazy to blog. Anyway, here's a post.

The first day of school is not so bad after all. At least I don't have to continue rotting at home. I get to shake those moss around me. =)

When we were asked to assemble on the basketball court upon registeration, I remember something that I thought funny. During my years in Convent, we used to assemble on the volleyball court. Now, we have the basketball court. From the 'volley' to the 'basket'. If I have the chance, I want to try other courts too. But it'll be impossible, I know.

Next, we went into the hall for the orientation. A power point presentation was put up. It showed the achievements of the school and also the well known and successful beings who had been studying in the school decades of years ago. I managed to whispered to one of my friends, "One day your picture will be there on the power point too!" Upon hearing this, she chuckled. "Nah, not mine. Yours will be there la." "No! Not mine either!"

Then, I saw him. The school moderator! He looks really scary at times, especially when he shouted over the mic once when the noise in the hall grew louder. You know what to expect when a few hundreds of students are seated in the hall and have to listen the whole day. They become restless of course! I dare say he can scold very well and silence fell once again. Very effective of him to do so. Hmm. Students are bound to listen to him.

And the worst part of it? I'll be seeing him tomorrow! I just wish and wish that he will not be that scary as I saw him as he was today. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day for him.

There's a privilege for girls. This was the first time I heard such rule is applied in schools. Two girls get to share a pass while the boys are required to take a pass each before leaving the classroom. Cool, isn't it?

Why such a privilege? Maybe the girls' toilets are inhabited by ghouls. That's why company is needed. Anyway, the boys are supposed to be happier because they have the 5-star toilet. Yeah, the girls' toilet have no stars.

And the school canteen is not called a 'canteen'. Not called a 'tuck shop' either. It's called a ......

FOOD COURT!

"You want to know why it's named that? You will have to see for yourself!" the teacher said proudly. Indeed, it does look like a food court.

After recess, we were briefed more about the co-curricular activities. There are 67 uniform units, clubs and games to choose from. And I think I will continue with chess. No sweat, no hassle! Haha. I am so, so passive that I can't stand myself sometimes. Phew! That's all for today.
