The Start of the Holidays (Bal's b'day Party)*

2009-05-30T09:16:00.001-07:00

Today is the first day of my holidays and I went to my old friend, Balnish's birthday party. She is my friend from primary school and our friendship has lasted for about 8 yrs alredy..I was surprised but really glad that she now happens to go to the same tuition with me this year..Shes a sweet and cool person and I hope our friendship will still continue to grow=)

In there, I met my 3 other old friends Natasha, Olivia and Hsiu Jiuan.. Miss them a lot.. haven seen them for quite long alredy especially Natasha..I was also introduced to her other two friends, Vindra and Brinda who attended too.. :)

The food was great.. We didn eat them all in one shot though.. xD we ate bout 4 times..lol..

After singing the birthday song to Balnish, they danced to some songs from Olivia's ipod which has an amazing number of songs.. :D Oh yea, one of Balnish friend's even bought a card where each of us got to write a message on it..

The party was great.. We enjoyed ourselves and had time to catch up with each other bout how we are doing in school and about our friends since most of us are not in the same school now..It turns out that Olivia and Natasha's school are having a carnival on the 20th of June..For more info, you can visit their blogs.. =)

Happy Birthday to you again Bal! Hope that u had a great birthday! Thanks for inviting! :)

School Daze..xD

On the first day of Form 4, we had to choose which stream to go. And since I wanted to become an architect, going to the sub-science class where I can learn engineering drawing was the most reasonable choice for me to choose. So although I was chosen to go to pure science class, I went to sub-science class after a counseling teacher told me that its more suitable to go there. At first other people who I'm close to such as Brenda and Aimi also chose to go to that class. But once they were in there they started having second thoughts. One of the reasons was because the class consisted of too many people (48!).

So on the next day, they decided to go to pure science class. When I came back home I told my parents about it and I told them I was not feeling that comfortable in that particular class already. I did have friends in that class but I was begining to miss my old friends. So they told me to change the very next day. The next day, I told the Biology teacher that I wanted to change and she said if I want pure science I can only go to 4B because 4A was full already. At first I was hoping to go to 4A because 4B started on more subjects already so when I switched my class to 4B, I had to catch up on more homework and lessons..lol..

But it all turn out well in the end. Aimi, Nazifa and Hin Loong from 4A also decided to join this class. All the teachers are fantastic especially my English teacher. =) And she happens to be teaching my favourite subject too. Besides that, my Physics teacher happens to really great also eventhough this is her first year teaching this subject (she is a maths teacher).

I thank God for putting me in this class.. =) Ive got awesome teachers and many close friends here too! And surprisingly, I happen to have an interest in Biology after all.. xD

~2008 to 2009~

2009-01-02T05:42:00.000-08:00

There are many things that I learned from last year and many outings and memories to cherish too.. =) Here are some of the highlights from 2008:

I became closer to some of my school friends and I also went to christian camps with some of them too.. Besides that, I also got to know more christian people..=)

From the camps I also got to know new people, learn new songs and most importantly got to learn new things from the messages. Of all the 3 camps that I went to, the 3 same message in common that they taught was humility.

I also got to meet some of my old friends again such as Balnish, Olivia, Hsiu Jiuan, Magdelynn, Sylvia, Wen Yang, Nicholas, Damien and Mervin! =) And I got to continue keeping in touch with Syazwan, Putri, Firdaus, Roland and as well as Raymond, Shaereen, and Adilah.

I also got to get great results for PMR which was the best way to end 2008.

2008 was a great year but sadly, it has to come to an end..

So its Hello 2009!! xD I'm going to make the best out of this year too.. It will be much more different and might be more difficult from last year but I know God will help me through my days.. =D

My PMR Results!! =D

2008-12-30T07:42:00.000-08:00

WHEEEE!!! I'm so happy!!

Got 7A's in my PMR! lol..

Congrats to all my friends who got great results also! All of you did your best and thats all that matters.. =)

But I know I coudn't have done it all by myself.. I know that God helped me a lot and gave me peace throughout the whole exam.. =) Thank you Lord! xD I know that with Him everything is possible and that I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.. =)

My parents and friends also helped me a lot by giving me support and teaching me when I can't seem to understand.. Thanks a lot to all of you too! =)

~MERRY CHRISTMAS~

2008-12-27T01:33:00.000-08:00

Its a bit late but I'll still wish a belated wish.. xD

Merry Christmas everyone!!

I didn't get to blog lately because I wasn't allowed to use the computer. So now I'll continue updating about my camps and try to do the tags. hehe.. anyway, I hope all of you had a great and joyful christmas!! =)

But we also should know about the true meaning of christmas how it came to be.. So I also want to wish Jesus a Happy Belated Birthday!! and remember that its also a season of giving! =D

An outing with my friends from primary school.. =)

2008-12-21T01:54:00.000-08:00

On the 6th of December, I went on an outing with some of my closest friends from my primary school.. I was so glad to meet them again after 2 years.. Their names are Balnish, Olivia and Hsiu Jiuan! I miss them.. =( We met at Mcdonald's because it was an easy place to meet.. lol.. xD

I can't upload the pictures that we took though because they don't want it to be seen in the blog. It was great catching up with them. Balnish is going to a private school next year and Olivia might be going for the ACE adventure thingy. Meanwhile, Hsiu Jiuan will continue her education in the same school. =)

I wanted to go out with Syazwan and Putri Nur Sabrina to Sunway also but I couldn't make it because I had to go for a camp on the day after the outing so I decided to rest instead. =( I miss them a lot.. haiz.. Hopefully I'll get to meet again with them next year or sooner.. lol.. xD

Thanks to God for at least letting me meet at least some of my old buddies before next year and for having a wonderful time with them too.. =)

YF camp! xD

2008-12-07T07:18:00.000-08:00

Its been quite long since I updated! yikes.. it was because I went to my first christian camp! To me, it was awesome.. I learned a lot from the camp and got to know more people better too.. We stayed in Dominic Villa..

My dorm was named Berea and our dorm leader was Esther Lim. She was really good in giving instructions. =) I was first in Geraldine's team named Aquila. She was very helpful and was vry thoughtful in writing each of her team members a message before she left the camp.. Then later they change our groups so my new group was Barnabas and the group leader was Michelle Chan. She is a very creative person. She wrote a song for a memory verse that we needed to memorise for our dorm. And we won!! =D Besides that, she also helped me solve a problem that had been bothering me. Thanks Michelle! In our dorm, Charnice planned for us to play guardian angel. So at first my guardian angel was J-Anne then she changed to Harmony. My mortal was Michelle Hoe. Thanks guardian angels for guarding me.. lol.. xD n I hoped u liked the letter that I gave you Michelle!

The first day, we got our camp manuals and I during the connect activity we learned about drinking,clubbing, and movies.. it was actually stated in the bible indirectly.. Before this I also did not know that it was in the bible but my dad always advised me about this things.. at least now I know about it..I'm really grateful for that.. Then at night we had rally. And Pastor Connie taught us about the soul,spirit and body. My dad always tried to teach me bout those things but I never payed close attention. But Pastor Connie made it interesting. =)

On the second day, we played outdoor games. Our group didn't win but the games was quite interesting actually. Throughout all the game stations, we each needed to save the water in our cups and at the end of the game the group with the most water wins. But it got quite tough for me when we each needed to slide down a hill slide (as I call it). I was quite scared at first but I manage to face my fears thanks to the encouragement of some of my group members. =)

On the third day, we learned about backsliding. It means that sometimes as christians start doing things that we know we shoudn and it will lead us down the wrong road. So the pastor told us how about the roots and results of backsliding and how to return from backsliding. Then we learned about boy-girl relationship like is it part of God's will and how to behave in a relationship.

On the last day, we learned that Jesus washed the disciples feet including Judas' even when he knew that Judas was going to betray him. Those of you who have a bible, go read John 13:3-16. The passage showed us about humility especially the part where Jesus said "If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet , you also ought to wash one another's feet." Then the church leaders actually washed our feet. Most of us cried including me. I was touched. Then later we washed each other's feet. After that, we had to pack up and we reached the church at about 5:20 p.m.

Oh yea I forgot to tell that we did worship in the mornings at at nights. Many people got touched.. I want to thank Esther, Delicia, Pastor Connie, and Michelle Chan for praying for me.. May God bless all of you! =)

So it went better than I have expected. The food was ok too. Tomorow I might blog about my next camp that I went to.. hope that I can go to this camp next yr again! =)

My trip in Penang! =D

2008-11-29T06:23:00.000-08:00

Last Monday, I went to Penang with my family. I went there a day after Balnish came back from Penang.. lol.. On the first day of our trip, we reached there at around 2 p.m. Then we rented an apartment to stay for 4 days and 3 nights. And guess what? It has Astro installed in the television too! But the weird thing is that the Disney Channel pack is not part of the Astro.. =( haiz..

Anyway on the first day of the trip, my sis and I watch the television until evening. Then later we went to ate dinner in Gurney Drive! To me, thats one of the best place to eat good food. xD After that we went to the Pasar Malam. Than we bought many souvenirs. Its like as if this is our first time coming to penang.. lol! Then when we went back to the apartment, my sis and I stayed up til 2 a.m. watching A Cinderella Story. I never watched it before and the movie was not bad at all.. =)

The next day we went to the beach in the morning. Unfortunately, the tide was high so we went there for awhile only and there was not many people there. Then we ate lunch in a seafood restaurant. There were many types of sea creatures in the aquariums such as the Grouper, Prawns, Australian lobster, and the King Lobster! Since my dad liked the food so much, we ate in there again for dinner.. xD The dinner food and price were were different and much more expensive. But it was worth it because we really enjoyed our dinner! xD We ate the Mantis Prawns. =p so large! I never seen prawns which were that big before this.. Here are the pictures:

The restaurant that we ate in!

The GIGANTIC lobsters! alive! LOL.. xD

They were like this before~

And like this after! It was the last one left..yummy.. xD

On the third day, my sis and I went swimming in the swimming pool in the apartment area. After swimming, we went to Gurney plaza and ate lunch in Gurney plaza. We ate in the food court and I bought some fried rice which was too spicy so I ended up eating only half of it. Then later I shopped and bought about 5 outfits. This is the first time that my sis shopped for something herself so she got so excited she decided to outshop me (if thr is such word).. lol.. so anyway we really enjoyed our shopping.. =) N we ate dinner at Nando's. So delicious.. xD

On the last day, we went to Island Plaza. I bought some pants 4 my camps. Then after we ate dinner in KFC, we started our journey back home.. I took pics of some of the houses in Penang since I want to have some ideas when I become an interior architect next time! xD

Thank God for letting us have a wonderful time during that four days and 3 nights not to mention for the safe journey also! =)

Wheee! xD

2008-11-21T06:35:00.000-08:00

After 4 days in a row of staying in my house doing nothing, I finally got to get out of my house today. I went to my cousins' house and get to go for a swim! I dont know when was the last time I had a swim but it felt great! I got to exercise! lol.. xD

Then after that, I watched the Mamma Mia movie (my cousins had it). The actors could sing so well.. =) But it seems like every single scene has a song so its like more of a real musical then a movie but it was nice anyway.. =)

Oh and Esther lend me the movie Gone With The Wind! The story is kind of sad.. =( Many people died. But the story and movie is classic and I love the dresses that Scarlett O' Hara wore! xD

A few days ago, my mum, sis n I did baking! yes Bal, I admit it got quite messy when we started putting the icing.. lol.. My sis and mum baked 12 muffins and a cake.. My sis and I each get to decorate 5 muffins each with icing.. My mum is soo clever in baking already.. =) Last time, she did not know how to make the icing.. Ok anyway, after we baked, we were about to put it in the fridge then suddenly my sister's muffin dropped on the floor! Icing side on the floor! xD lol.. Pity.. but she took it up anyway and put icing on it again.. xp hehe.. Here are the pictures:

Its the muffins I decorated. Its kinda of messy but at least its something..hehe.. xD

My icing decoration on a plate.. xD

Both of them together! =D

At least I get to do those things to battle my boredom.. =) I'm looking forward go to my camps in December and on an outing with my old friends! yay! xD
Thanks God for helping me through my boredom.. :)

..An outing with my friends..

2008-11-15T05:21:00.000-08:00

A few days back i went on an outing with my friends, Hii Zen, Hou Ching, Brenda, Sarah, Pooi Leng and Ida. Actually, it was Hii Zen's birthday the day before so the reason we went on this outing was to celebrate her birthday.

First, we went to eat at the food court which was a good choice because the food there was cheap and reasonable. We waited until everybody bought their food then Ida prayed for the food. =) Sarah and Hii Zen bought the same food! lol..

Then after that we went to gift shops. Some of my friends have not bought presents for Hii Zen yet. So they had to buy when she was not looking..xD And guess what? Brenda bought me something too! She did not know that my birthday had alredy passed for about 6 months already.. lol.. But its sweet of her to give anyway.. =)

After that, we split up.. Hou Ching, Pooi Leng and me went shopping! The others went shopping also but they did not shop for clothes. So we first went to Padini where I bought a simple yet lovely white blouse. Then we went to other shops too. I tried on a lot of pants. Thats because I needed them for the camps that I was going to in December. I bought none of them! Then Hou Ching figured if I shop with my mum only I will get to know the right decision whether to buy or not and I agreed.. So I ended up buying only a blouse and a pair of earrings (from Zinc).

When we finished, we met up again at the entrance of the mall. Pooi Leng already went back while we were shopping but I did not even notice so I didn't manage to say goodbye to her.. I feel kinda bad.. Anyway, by the time I went back, only Hou Ching, Brenda and Sarah was left. We all got what we wanted.

I am so glad that I got to go on an outing with them.. Hope we can go again some other time.. xD

Thank God that most of us could make it that day.. =) Hope you had a great birthday Hii Zen!!

Happy Birthday Nick! =)

..A Poem..

2008-11-14T00:34:00.000-08:00

To You by Deb

In my life,
I have always been searching,
I have always been lost,
Until I began trusting
in you who took up my cross.

Jesus, I will love you with all my heart
I will love you with all my soul
I will love you with all my mind
For in you alone, I'll be secure.

You have never forsaken me,
You have never rejected me,
I'll cast all my burdens to you
and start each day new.

Now in my life,
I will have nothing to fear,
I will have nothing to hide,
because you will always be near
to guide me in the light.

..My primary school friends..

..In School Today..

2008-11-06T01:53:00.000-08:00

Today i planned to go to school because its been a long time since I went.. Besides some of my close friends decided to come today also.. so when I reached school this morning, the first thing I realised was that only about 1/3 of the students actually came today.. It was a good thing that my friends came if not I would not know any reason of why I came today accept to take my school magazine.. Without them, this day would not be fun at all.. xD

Ok so things are some of the things my friends and I played today..

1) Boggles. - I decided to bring it today since I did not know if
there was anything else we would be doing today. We played
for about 4 rounds only but it was quite interesting to find
out new words that we might not have ever written down.

2) A ball - It was Ida's. I should have wore pj clothes today!
eesh.. Instead , I wore baju kurung..=.= it was hard to catch
the ball especially when I had to run and catch it..We
were playing 'monkey' so I only played monkey once
while Ida, Hii Zen, Syeefa n Brenda became de monkey
many times. I think that was the most fun game we played
though. =)

3) A (good) gossip game- Everyone had to write something
good about another person. Everyone who played this
game got a chance to say something something nice about
everyone else who played.. It was a nice game and as Ida
said 'it is something from our hearts'.. :) so all de notes that
we have written to each other today will be ours for us to
treasure.. =)

4) Mafia - This game was suggested by Brenda. It was very
interesting..xD It was especially funny when the doctor healed
the mafia and the villager that was suppose to be dead already
get caught by the police..Lol.. poor thing..

5) Story - In this game, someone would start a sentence and the
next person would continue the story by making up another
sentence.. Unfortunately, most of the characters in our story
ended up dying or disappearing.. lol.. The only one that remain
in the story from the beginning till the end was the main character
named chicken.. xD

So thats all that happened today.. It was way more fun then I had expected.. tomorrow I am going to go to school as a last day of school this year because my friends and I are not going on Monday.. yay!! last day! xD

going off now.. bye...

..Life after PMR..

2008-11-03T07:05:00.000-08:00

Heyz..

PMR is finally over for all the Form 3 this year! so all 15 yr olds in Malaysia should be rejoicing right now.. Lol.. Scouts had Scouts Dinner on a Saturday after the week of PMR..And we had KFC for the dinner! =)

Then last Monday, i went out with 3 of my old friends.. I was so glad that i can finally get to meet them again after two years.. Their names are Wen Yang and Sylvia.. We went with Goh too.. Wen Yang and Sylvia are in different schools now. But sometimes we still do keep in touch..We had such a great time! =D Especially me, I think.. This is because I did not get to go to Sunway for 10 whole months just because PMR was around the corner!! So yea, at least I enjoyed myself on that day.. xD

After that day, I did not go anywhere else anymore.. I slept and woke up late for 4 days in a row.. I felt so sluggish and lazy.. gee, I should be happy and grateful that PMR is over.. But instead of enjoying myself, I find myself battlling boredom.. But the great part is that I can spend endless hours on the computer and tv.. =)

So now all I need to do now is to prepare myself for next year before this year ends and and get good results for PMR.. I can also spend my time reading the new story books that my mum bought.. Oh yeah, I have to practise my exam songs 4 nex year without my piano teacher.. And the most important thing, living by faith every single day..
