Release the inner self;

I pinky promise!

Okay, why are the thousands of pictures I have in computer not up in this blog yet?

Basically, I'm busy with my moral essays and events going on in school. No, I'm not exactly involved in the school events but I have to take pictures of the events for the school magazine. This means I'm somewhat involved but not wholly involved.

And and and...I can't upload the pictures immediately after I transfer them from my camera. The file size is too huge so it will take ages to upload them. Which means, I have to resize them. All these take time. Including my procrastination. Ugh...I'm frustrated at my own procrastination. I need to do something about it. Oh, that takes time too.

But but the pictures will be up, I pinky promise! Really! But please do give me some time to relax. I've been getting angry easily lately. I wish I know why but currently, I'm learning how to control my anger.

Forgive your blog mistress who is still learning and trying, alright? =)

p/s i'll be going for another camp soon! Youh camp! Yayy!

A place called home.

I'm home from the one hour++ trip to Kedah.

I'm home from the 'ceramah(s)'.

I'm home from the huge dorm with double deckers.

I'm home from the huge one-room public bathroom.

I'm home from rapping 1Malaysia for the BBQ night performance.

I'm home from the flying fox.

I'm home from the 7 meals-a-day.

I'm home from being a Superwoman.

I'm home from running around taking pictures.

I'm home from my Leadership Camp!

I'm home! Home sweet home!

p/s i miss the camp though. =(

Good people who recycle.

For our Moral folio, we need to do recycling. Thus, our teacher organised a recycling event to help us with it. Stayed back after school for that.

Many many good people who "recycle".

They look busy don't they?

Me: "Mabela, I want to see your face mia."

And she did this! I told her she looks dead and we kept laughing about it.

Another one. Me: I want both faces ya.

They stopped right there and then. It looks fake but they look so cute! I couldn't stop laughing at this either.

We are good people...

who recycle...

...what's in the bag?

Recycle recycle recycle...

I probably said something that annoyed her. Look at her expression and mine.

She's looking at me as though she's in love with me. Hahh!

Me: Take picture! May: This is buang sampah, not kitar semula.

If you take a quick glance across this picture, she looks like a witch on her magical broomstick.

We come in peace...

peaces maybe?

Good people who practices good recycling habits come in peaces!

Looks like some draught eh?

The four good people who practice good recycling habit!

Time to call...

mom to fetch us home.

Mommy arh...

And guess what? We met Shiro's friend.

This is Shiro and her friend.

Too bad Shiro's friend doesn't know how to show the peace sign.

2 posts in a day! Rare, I know. But I'm glad I did it! I don't owe my readers so many posts now. =D *shows peace sign

Of Jota-Joti 2009.

I'll be leaving for my Leadership Camp tomorrow. No, I didn't manage to persuade my teacher to allow us to bring our mp3 players. Realised it wouldn't be good to keep asking her for permissions to bring stuffs. Oh well... I better post about my Jota-Joti before I forget.

Here are the pictures I get from facebook so far...

After all the blisters, splinters, sleeping on the field despite the blazing sun, we grabbed 9 trophies from the trophy table! We won the best cultural night, best dance, best cooking, best log book, best gateway, best totem pole, best name tag and best overall(including a piala pusingan which sums up to 9 trophies)!

Awesome, isn't it?! If there's one thing about the game I won't forget, it'll be when I was doing the smell-and-identify thingy...

Melanie ; me

*sniffs sniffs smells smells Colgate?(wrong) Milk powder?(wrong)

Something you hate alot.

(I was going to say ice cream but the smell was too strong to be ice cream so I kept quiet thinking)

Cik Baaiti!

*instantly Perfume!

Record number...?

I'm recording how many times I fall sick this year. I'm sick again now. It's sickening. My Leadership Camp begins on Friday and here I am at home, resting. Hoping to get well a.s.a.p. so that I can make it for the camp.

Tomorrow is my last day to persuade my teacher for permission to bring mp3 players along to the camp. It's a 2-hour journey to our camp site. What on earth am I gonna do in the bus for 2 whole hours without my mp3 player?!

Of Happy Retirement Home + Sleepover.

I know I know. I've been away for some time. I guess I lost my inspiration to blog, despite the many many events/topics I have in mind. I'm just lazy. Blahh. Nothing seem to be effective enough to cure my laziness.

Anyways, on Mabs' birthday(26th Sept), we, Ignite!-Youth went to visit an old folks home somewhere across penang bridge. On the day before(25th Sept), Melanie, Shir Hoay and I crashed Hui May's house.

We met in Gurney, then walked over to "Malaysia's Largest Chocolate Paradise"(stated so) a few lots away from StrikeII to get Mabs' present.

It's considerably big but I think I've been to a bigger one in KL. Oh well.. But chocolates! *screams I want everything inside! Okay, I shouldn't be greedy. What about a big packet of white chocolates?

Do you see Gurney Plaza?

*zoomed in. We were lost. We see Gurney Plaza from here but the roads seem to lead us nowhere. We wanted so badly to climb over the fence of the houses. But we didn't, obviously.

Me: Eh, walk here arh? Shir Hoay: Dead end larh.

Then we found out, the other road leads us nowhere. So we took the long way back to Gurney. We opted for shortcut because it was a hot day. Good thing we realised it would be better to sweat and return safely than to walk under the shades and lose our way.

We use the laptop for like...90% of our time in Hui May's house.

This box of chocolates is precious. It's RM3 each. Yes, RM3 sebiji.

Each biji is 3bucks. 3bucks!

Readers, meet Gingy the gingerbreadman, Moon the cow and Melanie...the cat.

Oh, and this is Shir Hoay aka Shiro. My pet "doggy". Yes, we have a pretty complicated family tree, I know.

Hui May's status: ignored.

Hui May's status: still ignored.

Hui May: What on earth is on my laptop that is more interesting than me? Shir Hoay: Smile to the camera and ignore Hui May! Me: Captain Jack...!(Pirates of Carribean was on tv)

Hui May: Finally she acknowledges my presence. Shir Hoay: Continue smiling to the camera! Me: Captain Jack...!

After all the fighting for Gingy the gingerbreadman, this is what its owner did to it. Watched Alvin and the Chipmunks then we headed for bed, despite all the "Turn the fan speed higher, hot larh!", "I'm cold larh!", "I don't want to sleep in the middle!", "I got headache...".

The four of us in the van the next day. Our van was so lively thanks to us. Right, William?

Goodbye Penang Island and hello Happy Retirement Home!

The first sight that met my eyes.

After the activities and sweat, it's Sunway Carnival Mall for lunch.

Do you notice something unnatural in the picture?

The end. =)

p/s my essay wasn't illegal!

Happenings during my finals.

5th of October 2009.
We sat for our last moral paper of the year. The paper started early and ended early. After recess, we have no papers. We were suppose to revise our history. However, I only studied 2 pages. For the rest of the 2 hours, I was laughing non-stop with Shir Hoay. We laughed 'till our cheeks sore just by talking about one topic: Childhood.

6th of October 2009.
It's BM paper 1 and history. For the first time, I wrote so much for my Bm paper 1. History was a total crap. I did regret a little for spending my whole 2 hours on laughing. Could covered more on my history if i didn't laugh that much. My cheeks won't sore too if I didn't laugh so much.

Throughout my exam, I have to go to the toilet at least once for each paper. I think my bladder is active when I'm stressed. *shrugs

7th October 2009.
The killer paper, Chemistry. Mommy May came with a pale face. She wasn't feeling well. We were so worried for her because she was weak physically. I wished I could take the paper on behalf of her but I know very well that's impossible. After our Chemistry, we started making fun of Mommy May eventhough she was sick. A little cruel but I'm sure she was entertained. Hahh.

8th October 2009.
Biology and Mathematics. I love Biology paper because it's all about explaining. Explaining is like talking through writing. I love talking. Thus, I love explaining. Which means I love Biology papers! I'm not trying to say I'll score with flying colours or Biology is my major.

Modern Mathematics was fine. I like Mathematics too. If I could rip carelessness off from my character, I think I could pass my Additional Mathematics.

9th October 2009.
It's a Friday! Which means 2 more days we'll be done with this stressful finals! Everyone was very excited. It's our last Physics paper and it's also the one and only paper for the day. Physics would be great without complicated calculations. Complicated as in I don't know what the question wants me to find. Imagine starring at a question blankly. Do you know how horrible that feels?

10th October 2009.
Crack your fingers, massage your arms. Be prepared for the 2 1/2 hours of solid writing. It's BM paper 2. However, we find this term slightly more relaxing. I really wonder why can't we just write the answer without repeating the question. In other words, why must we answer in a full sentence? Can't we just go straight to the point?

English paper 1 was fun. I chose to write a story which ends with "...I wished that I could take back my words". I wrote about me being an orphan and adopting a child I found in a garbage. I told Melanie about it. She replied, "It's illegal!". I hope my teacher won't comment "Illegal" on my essay.

Civics' was a 10 minutes paper. The time limit given to us is 1 hour but everyone just used 10 minutes to complete the paper. Next, all heads were down on the table, sleeping. I bet even the teacher fell asleep. Everyone in my class kept going to the toilet. I think the teacher was suspecting something. But we didn't cheat! It's just our bladder!

13th October 2009.
Last day! Last paper! But what a last paper, Additional Mathematics. I never once pass. But oh well, I can always learn from my mistakes and try again. It was horrible I would say because I was regretting while doing it. I regretted for not practicing enough. I regretted for secretly giving up my Additional Mathematics.

There was an annoying-to-the-extreme fly in my class throughout my finals. Imagine yourself there, in the class. Thinking hard for the answer and out of the blue, "Bzzzzz...". Pffft! We were very distracted by the fly. I would really kill it if I could. I would! But alas, it's so sensitive to movement that I can't get anywhere near it.

*******

I'm not the type of girl who can sit at her study table for one whole day just studying. I need to listen to songs, sing out loud, talk to the wall, scold the book, scold myself, eat, drink, jump and walk around my room for effective studying. Yes, I need all those. If not, this is what will happen.

I'll start off like this...
