Good girls go baadddd.

I'm currently in LURVE with the song by cobra starship with leighton meester.
not only is she pretty, she's also multi talented. argh.

went to church. i think it really calms me down and makes me happy. church i mean.

hmm. exam exam, please go away, cant you come back another day?

you know how in school madeline foo always says i smell like flowers? you wouldn't believe it mad. someone said i smelled like hong kong feet. i was like WTF? but i dont get angry over petty issues like that so i just gave her a shrug and walked away.

did a facebook quiz. Which Bitch Are You? the answer.

ALPHA BITCH: You are an Alpha bitch. You are dominating and controlling, but your man or friends can't say anything to that because you are so good at everything. You are pretty, smart, funny, social... your boys are lining up for you despite the way you treat them.

i dont treat people that way. or wait. no i dont! i dont dominate and control. if you think otherwise, comment. here or facebook. up to ya'll.

gosh. i miss him like mad. today, i saw this car that looked like his pass by my house. i actually stood up and smiled to myself. this infatuation and admiring is starting to take a toll on me. i mean. i keep expecting something when deep down i know there will be nothing there. i dunno whats wrong with me. i know he'll never be mine. so why do i still bother? argh.

michy's bday coming! hehe. got her gift ady. but still need to go shopping with her. hahaha! after i told her there was sale at charles and keith, she was itching to go! she's like a rebbeca bloomwood malaysian version. if you dont understand, rebbeca bloomwood is the main character of confessions of a shopaholic. i need to get new stuff too. like shoes and a jacket. preferably ballet flats and a grey jacket. hmm. turning girly. aiks. hope i dont turn into one of those high pitched squealing creatures. hahahaha.

i wanna go to kl la!!!!!!! I WANT TO SEE MY GRANDMOTHER! I DO THINK STUDIES COME FIRST WHAT ABOUT FAMILY??? DOESN'T THAT COME FIRST? ARGH.

i think i'm slightly scrambled up now. its like. just when i thought my life was totally under control, it spiraled right out and slapped me across my face.

hurting and in pain,

my first two days of freedom trip

I woke up on friday 29th of May. My dad woke me up at around 8.30. got packing.

The only way to explain where i was going to you people is this. Sabah has two horns one called kudat and the other called pitas. i went to pitas. thats where my dad works. the ride is about four and a half hours.

i love going on road trips. you get to see how the terrain of the land changes from smooth roads of the city to slightly bumpy countryside to the holes and bumps of the jungle. i love the four wheel drive experieces i get with my dad. its awesome! haha! it should have been raining cause thats when the real fun starts but this time the land was dry as a bone!

so anyway, arrived there to find workers just staring at you and when you look at them they just stare back. way freaky. so then, me, my dad and sister share a room. and there was uncle tony and uncle ah leong. the three big bosses. or rather. the three musketeers. haha. you want the math equation? Two neat freaks and one crazy messy person. you get three good and mad scientist/cooks. haha!

we went for this boat ride which i was freaked out about. when you sit in the boat, and if you stick you hand out of the boat, the water is just inches away. i was like OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG! but my sister was like so cool about. i was like when did we switch roles?

the funniest part was half way against the current going out to sea, the boat man suddenly slowed down and my heart went from normal to racing again, the boat man said in malay: oi you hunter in front, you damn heavy la, you're sinking the boat!

I WAS LIKE OH SHIATSU MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! both me and my sister were wide eyed and start giggling. and then we sent the hunters off to the jungle. and according to my dad, less than a minute after we dropped them. they shot a wild boar.that part will come later. so me and my sister tried to take a pic of the boat man but he kept looking away and due to that fact the boat also followed him and kept bending towards the wrong way. so we stopped to save ourselves. haha. we saw the most beautiful sights ever. i mean. i finally understand why my dad and uncle tony were so immensely in love with this place. the swamps are so beautiful. definitely picturesque. lush green trees, cool calm waters. was mesmerized.

the boat guy probably wasnt any older than i was. haha. but he's a pro man. his father is the village crab man. he's also my dad's personal boat man. haha. i guess being a boat man runs in their blood. he got us some crabs. i learnt how to kill em. hehe. there was this one crab who was HUGE? spreading his claws apart and their as big and long as my shoulders. i was like woah..... and he was mean. he crushed another crab's claw to pieces. pieces. and snapped it off while the poor guy was alive. and one crab was smart enough to jumpship while we were killig his friends. we had venison steak for dinner. we got the venison from kepala besi from kota marudu. his nick name is kepala besi or tit tau ahah. he's like the big brother of kota marudu. hehe. it was super nice.

at nine thirty or so, the wild boar they shot finally arrived. and my dad was like complaining why they took so long. it was cause they had to build a rakit to get it over. the boar was a size of a cow. okay. for those of you who have a fortuner or a frontier or any working car. the length of your car is the length of the boar. huge. and four workers were carrying it like they were carrying a car. even the car was slow because of the boar. haha.

so the next morning, we saw the boat race. two categories only for he harvest festival. 15cc small boats and 5cc small boats. i know these may seem like peas. but it was something different. i mean you bring a city kid, like a total city kid into the jungle and he'd probably wouldn't survive like us. my boat driver won and the names of their boats were so cool: there were spiderman, levi's, loudness, rising sun, bumblebee, primas, bmw, and so many more. and you know what i love about villagers and workers. they may not know you but they'll smile and talk to you. city people are so much more different thatn them. i really enjoyed the trip.

a few hours later, we packed and were ready to leave. and i felt a lil reluctant to leave. the place might be a bit old and rusty. but the place was simple, cosy and had one of those beautiful sights. one of the workers said i bet you've never experienced something like this? seeing a wild boar being roasted and shot right in front of you? i said no. and then he spoke the truth and said something i'll remember forever. sometimes being a city kid isnt fun, the kampung boys might not have fancy homes, cars and gadgets but they have fresh air, small boats and the raging sea to play with. nature is their playground. the guy might have been drunk but what he told me was evidently true. the nature was once everyone's playground but now only to a minority of people.

four and a half hours later, i arrived home. cleared my laundry. had some food and fell asleep. my bed never felt so good. i now cherish my endless supply of clean water to drink and wash from. i cherish my dad's cars. my mom's money. my family's talent.

the trip might have been only two days. but i think it definitely changed my perspective on life.

my dad said Leon my cousin would have had a kick outta this trip. i agreed. maybe we'll go back there with him before the camp closes one day.

nature within my palm,

sun, sand and tan.

guess where i went right after my exam?

i went to Karambunai!!! ahahahahahhahhaha!

i was like a prisoner escaping the jail but the advantage of having no warden running behind me!!!!!

i went to karambunai. and the moment i arrived my first thought or should i say, sight? was the lovingly lovely and oh so beautiful sea........

i know you guys always read about the sandy white beaches, but it was really sandy white! hahaha! i sound like those sakai tourist i know. but a holiday away from home was something i was in dire need of.

we had tea with clement lo. my sister mandy's bestie. he's pretty cool. couldn't really recognize him at first cause he totally changed. he was wearing a crisp white shirt with black pants and shoes. very formal. he just finish class. no wonder. i remember him in jeans and some weird top most of the time. ahha. i thought he was one of the waiters! hahahahahah! he likes to speak cantonese now. weird. hmm. anyway, he bought us lunch/tea which was pretty cool. i think this time he changed my perspective on him. he's a pretty cool guy, friendly, smart, presentable, efficient, and above all nice to my sister. not bad. not too shabby. haha.

the second day, i woke up at like 5.30 and went for a short walk. checked out whether anyone else in the resort was up. turns out i scared the workers cause they thought they were working late. ahhaha. so i went back to the room, tried to sleep but couldnt. so i just lay there in my thoughts amidst the synchronized snoring from my sister and my mom. geez. were they really that tired? i mean how tiring can driving be? from kk to sepanggar bay? hello? 20 minutes? that tiring huh? hmm. really terrible la my sister. acted as if she drove from china all the way to arab. anyway... so i went on a short walk by myself. took some pics but deleted them. bad lighting, shakey hands. its funny how when you're by yourself and all you have is your thoughts and its as if their outloud. well, my thoughts were mostly about him so they were good thoughts. i hope. then i had breakfast which was really good. some greens, bread and this awesome omelette. haha. the funniest was when i saw the batter. it was this huge bowl of egg. like huge la! and i asked her how many eggs were in it? she answered six trays and i went huh? she said there are 36eggs per tray i was like oh. then i was like wow! 36 x 5 is like 180 eggs. and she uses two bowls. thats 360 eggs per morning. now, thats alot of eggs.

i went swimming with my sisters. i would have preferably done it with my friends. both my sisters were like all graceful and 'tired' and just wanted to sit there and chat. thats what they call 'swimming'. i was like WHAT????? but fine, we all wanted a tan anyway. so now when you see me, i might look a bit tan. just a bit. not too obvious i hope. hahah. my dad came on the second day too. we took a ton of pics. the sunset was beautiful. the shades of pink, red, blue, orange, purple and streaks of white were amazing.

just goes to show how wonderful and insightful our lord is.

at night, we played monopoly. and the first time ever. i didnt die first. i didnt lose first. i came out second. i was in a tad bit of a shock whne mandy lost. she was holding so much money but i guess sometimes she is a bit too confident.

went kayaking too. tide was slightly choppy but it was cool to go against the tide. loved it. challenging but really fun.

wanted to go horseback riding but kept postponing. haha. in the end, i didnt get to. so, the third was the most fun i think. we swam in the morning and played chicken. so awesome la my dad. ahahha. all he did was push my sister with one finger and both of us fell. ahhahahaha. unstable la this chicken. ahhahahahahha.

i loved this trip. it might not be the best trip ever. but it was fairly interesting.

loving what loves me,

its my one hundreth and one post!!!!!!

haha! i finally got to sleep in till 11.... i woke up and looked at the clock.... and thought to myself its a good day! hahahahaha!

everyone in the house was up and running whilst i was upstairs on my bed reading the last book of the twilight series: breaking dawn.

i was so engulfed in it. i forgot to have my bfast and came down stairs to have a headstart on my history and geography projects. thank the good lord for computers and printers!

i imagine myself writing all those stories and information on the paper without the help of technology and shivers run down my spine! hahahahahahhaha!

i went out with my sister char for lunch! we were out with her friend edmund! who looks like a 20 year old but is actually 26! gasp! i know!~!!! he looks like he's fresh out of college well he kinda was but he's actually working now! but he's got plenty of free time oddly enough! he's funny! your typical super funny and lame kinda friend that'll make you laugh no matter what!!

so after lunch, he went for work after endless amounts of teasing my sensitive fingers when i coudln't take the heat of the pizza, so me and ce went to damai for some stationery restoring.

we went home and well, i'm here. typing this. while my very slow comp finds out how old the hospital queen elizabeth is. seriously. streamyx is terrible. argh. thinking bout it makes me pissed. but anyhow, we have to live with it. happy that it still works.

i felt like going to the beach just now when the weather was pitch perfect but then the weather did change and went from good to just fine to bad. it started raining. gah! why!!!!

i don't quite enjoy the rain unless i'm in the emo phase. hah. which is no where near me now. using my dad's laptop to type this. love typing on his keyboard. very effortless. very smoothhhhh... but sadly i cant hear music unless its blaring on the speakers. it wont cooperate with my headphones somehow. hmm....

my current favourite song is now : Hey Stephen by Taylor Swift. i wasn't very much enjoying the song at first but after a while of listening to it now i like it alot. its got this eccentric yet happy beat to it that makes me shake your head from left to right. ahahahahah.

but its just perhaps the lyrics are matched to my current situation but who cares?!

i love taylor swift. i mean she isn't exactly the best singer of all time but she is a good singer nonetheless. i love her songs. its the lyrics i'm drawn to the most. their just the pure truth added with a melody that mixes together and forms something that not only can you enjoy but relate to!

i'm ranting ang rambling again aren't i?

hah! i did some quizzes on facebook and it turns out! my actual age is seventeen instead of fifteen! mich got eighteen! once again a year older! haha! my sis char got 22! she was totally emo after that! hearing all the screamo music blaring from her car! hahahahahhahah! all because one stupid quiz told her she was two years older than her actual age!

i talked to a couple of my primary school mates whom have moved to Down Under! i miss them lots!!!! if you're reading this ian, my teddy bear, i miss you!!! no people he's not my boyfriend! he's just ian pang! my very good chubby friend who claims he isnt chubby but macho now! hahahahahahah! he wishes doesnt he? hahaha!

i think most of us have changed alot! we've all evolved and changed into someone else. like ugly ducklings into swans and tadpoles to frogs and from the caterpillar into a butterfly! its all so funny to see! but i know of some that have not changed a bit! in looks and thoughts! they seem to be stuck and they refuse to grow up! how grotesque!? i know!!!!!!!!!!

my house might have to undergo some surgery! oops i meant. construction.

and we might have to pack some stuff and throw some stuff out to accomadate with the might happens of the near future. my mom's overjoyed with this. she cant wait for us to start throwing things out of the house. keep in mind my mom is a simple person. too much stuff and she will start getting cranky and paranoid.

oh dear. i dont like construction works. their very. erm. dusty. stinky. and the workers are just weird. but then if they were any better they wouldn't be working as workers would they? no of course not! so yeah i guess i'll just have to bear it with the rest of my family!

i visited the hospital Queen Elizabeth on thursday. it was cool. fyi, i have never been inside before. it just never happened. everyone is family has gone before but i just never had the chance so this time i did. and i thought i could go inside the grey building which is the oldest since well, 1957! yeah its fifty yrs old. but unfortunately for me, the building was cracked in a couple of places and its starting to sink. so no one could go in anymore. i got to meet the deputy director though. that was pretty cool. he looked just like the rest of us. average. i took some pictures and then left for the museum. i havent been to the museum in AGES. i think the last time i went there was when i was in kindie. hahahahaa. the old rolls royce is still there. dusty as ever. it was kinda cool and creepy at the same time. it was awfully quiet which is pretty freaky. its got this eerie hum when you walk around. me and megan were like: is it too quiet in here? but every once in a while the tourist will pass by giving us smiles of warmth and we went phew okay we're safe. there was one part where we had to cross the so called caves of time and it was dark and there was this automatic sound of bats and a hum from the ancient times and me and meg were like what the hell? so we were walking in this fast pace only to find ourselves on the other end facing faces that were laughing at us. apparently, we were walking and giggling a lil too loud for them. hahahahahhahaha!

i got home. i started typing for history and then i find out that the pictures that i took actually needed me in them. argh! so now i might have to go to QE again. sigh.

i wanna go out of the country to finish my studies la! what in the world for do we need to learn moral and sivik for?! we need to memorize at least 32 definitions in order to pass and then go for the next level. civic and moral are exactly the same if you exclude the fact that civic has politics whereas moral doesnt. we have to memorize every word. forgot a word? too bad. thats two marks down your grade. its pure idiocracy. i know of kids who score for moral and have no moral basis at all!

oh dear. i'm getting worked up.

my mom's secretary is leaving us. she apparently wants to take up a course in tourism management. my mom was angrrryyy. well, i think my mom had the right to be. she didnt give her a months notice. in fact, she gave just a week. my mom managed to persuade her to give her a month to find a replacement. well, my mom decided that a replacement wasnt needed. that she could do it herself. we're not so sure. but well, my mom's kinda stubborn. hahahahahaha.

anyhow, my life's okay now. nothing too bad. nothing extravagantly good. its just stable and peaceful. well, got to go now.

life calls,
