Post One, 2009

This is going to be a totally bimbotic post.

First off, I can't believe that I'm blogging again! Hahahahahaha. Been reading through our posts and realized just how much I actually miss school. Went for Forensics today, we've got finalists/semi-finalists in EVERYTHING. No finalists for Duet Acting and debate is semis tomorrow morning. NAdeBCMW and DT made it to semis for DA! VNYQ made it to finals/semis for THREE events (Awesome!). I wasn't planning to go for finals tomorrow, but my plans got cancelled so I'm going! If you're reading this now, wear RED tomorrow! This is really a bimbotic post, almost everything has CAPS and !!!!!

In college now, which is pretty cool. Doing pure science A-levels. I've got great classmates and fantastic lecturers, it's a really good semester. I'm joining the frisbee club and environmental science club, considering some others too at the moment. Maybe student council?

Are you superstitious? Check out the date. Happy early Valentine's day people!

We still rock

Yo Mel, I think we can win the award for the most frequently updated blog! I mean, 8 posts in 2008 alone? Must be a new record.

Anyway, what I really needed to talk about is the Inner Mongolia Yili Industrial Group Co., Ltd., one of the main main main offenders of the China milk scandal drama. I found this statement on their website:

So far, Yili Group owns 200 quality livestock farms with over 2 million of superior-breed cows under its control, which makes further assurance for the supply of high-quality raw milk.

To strictly monitor the production process, Yili took the lead in creating the all-process, all-directional, and all-staff “Three-A ”quality management system. Meanwhile, Yili also took the lead in the production process to use the international advanced technology of UHT and aseptic filling, to ensure the products safe and healthy.

"..products safe and healthy," MY FOOT LA.

The homepage of the website is dedicated not to their products, but to the enormous amount of profit they gained throughout the years.

Yeah that's all. Oh, I failed my maths extension, just thought you'd like to know.

Think your sister is a pain in the butt??

Meet the Hansel twins, the oldest living co-joined twins in the world! They turn 18 this year!!
They each control one side of their body, but they're able to coordinate so well!!!
Say wow...



From a website:

A set of twins who share the same body have celebrated their 18th birthday in the United States. Abigail and Brittany Hensel from Minnesota are the oldest conjoined twins in the world. The girls, who have two hearts, and two spinal chords, but share the same torso have lived their lives side by side.

The teens who enjoy swimming, playing the piano and recently got their drivers’ licenses said they had no intention of being separated.

The girls have beaten the odds and doctors’ expectations to reach their milestone. It is believed there are only four sets of twins who share the same torso and have survived into adulthood. And they are on track to graduate from university, and hope to have a family of their own one day.

“We want to be mums, but haven’t thought how it would work,” Abigail said. The girls passed their driving exams with two separate licenses and two separate tests. Abigail worked the pedals, and Brittany used the indicators and they both held the steering wheel.

Their parents, nurse Patty, and carpenter Mike 48, decided not to have the twins separated at birth despite the risks. “From the first time we saw them we thought they were beautiful,” she told the Sunday Mirror. -telegraph

GOODBYE CRAZY NAIL!

Holidays? What holidays?

I'm coming to the end of my mid year holidays. Just today and tomorrow left and then its back to school. Although of course, I've not actually stopped going to school -.-

Macam biasalah, ELDS practices for this year's Golden Jubilee were held during the school holidays. We weren't the only ones there; ELDSjr, Malay dancers and the school band came back too to practice. The band have a competition on 11th June. They've been camping in school, in the new (air-conditioned) Art Gallery for the past week. They're really a disciplined lot, much more so than us laid-back ELDSers, walking in anytime between 7 and 11, when everyone's supposed to be in the hall by 8. 

Then there was the Commemorative Book to think about. Third dummy done and STILL there's corrections. Its almost unbelievable, the amount of corrections there still are after we've all checked them over and over again.

On Friday last week (30th June), I went for the MELTA spelling competition. Its a team event thing, the Senior team was made up of TSMA, MYW and I. The Junior team consisted of my sister, VNYL and LS. It was pretty simple, all you gotta do for the first three rounds is spell whatever word they throw at you (First round: Any word. Second and third rounds: Choose either topic, Science or Mathematics). The two teams with the highest marks at the end of the third round go through to the fourth round where you spell a word and then construct a sentence using that word. I cheated a bit there: My word was genre and the first sentence that came to mind was "I tried to explain to my friend was 'genre' meant." They accepted it! But then again, they accepted any sentence, even the ones that didn't make sense. Case in point: Some guy said "I like the silhouette of music." Huh? Anyway, both teams won! Each team took home RM500, making it a grand total of RM1000. Not sure how we're splitting the money with school, hopefully its RM100 for each participant and school gets RM400. I think that's pretty fair.

The thing I like about holidays is that I can devour any amount of books I lay my hands on. I practically bulldoze through books. I read: Stardust, Alex Rider: Snakehead (Got both these books from the Popular Bookfest last Saturday), The Nine Lives of Chloe King, a couple of Agatha Christie classics and some others which made good reading material but don't stick in your head. Light stuff, ya know?

Bookfest was really worth it. After reading the reviews on the net, JY, MH and I weren't really expecting much. But when we went there, WOW! The amount of books they had! And the prices of stationery! Normally, for correction tape refill, I pay about 6.90 for two pieces. There, JY and I split a box of ten refills which cost RM19.90. CHEAP RIGHT?!?! There was a Canon exhibition on at the same time, which Fahrenheit (Initial reaction: Who?) supposedly attended but when we left at 3 pm they still hadn't shown up.

Today's the King's birthday. Read: Public Holiday. Also Click Five at Gentings and Roxy Summer Splash at Sunway. My supposed homework day, but hahahahaha, haven't started on it yet. A lot of people's birthdays now, including: CTMC!!! CTMC woke up on 3rd June 2008 to find that she'd somehow turned 17 overnight. Rafael Nadal celebrated his birthday the same day by thrashing Nicolas Almagro at the French Open.

That's basically it for now. Ta then :D

Of birthdays and jogathons

8th May 2008 was my sister's birthday! I didn't buy her anything, rather I made a banner-esque thing that said HAPPY BIRTHDAY and baked cookies which spelled out HAPPY 14th BIRTHDAY NAdeBCMM! Her friends sang Happy Birthday to her FIVE times in school, got her cake and all. Then about 10pm on FlyFM there was this shoutout "Assuntarians and Sri Amanians - You rock! Happy birthday NAdeBCMM!". My grandparents came for dinner and brought all kinds of fantastic food with them - birthday mee, roti jala, curry, chocolate cake and fruit salad.

Today, I went for the World Asthma Day jogathon at 7.30am. Mummy registered me a little late so there weren't enough numbers for my brother, CC, her dad and I. Instead, we got numbers that said VIP :D My number was VIP (3). As we were wearing VIP numbers, we couldn't competitively, we were just running for fun. So I jogged the 5 km in my own sweet time, keeping pace with CC. Took 50 minutes to finish it. Big blisters on my big toes :( The winners of the boys' categories were all timing 17:00 minutes ++ while the girls times about 30:00 minutes ++. After the run, the officials gave me two food coupons so I had double the food portions. Then I dropped my running number into the lucky draw box. I made my brother hang around till lucky draw time at the end of the day. And my number was drawn! !!!!! Not often that I win lucky draws. Anyway, I got two free passes to watch Ironman at Gardens at 12.30 today. I didn't particularly want to go so I gave the tickets to my brother, who couldn't find anyone to go with him.

I should be studying, I'm in the middle of mid-year exams. Physics and Chemistry tomorrow! 

Happy Mothers' Day, all!

Of mud, grit and speed

And so, that's it. My final Sports Day. (Just writing that sentence brings tears to my eyes). No more running for Assunta House and screaming my lungs out for the marchers, cheerleaders and runners. No more shouting myself hoarse at runners whom I KNOW can do so much better.  And this is the worst-There may be no more hurdles for me. MSSD, MSSS and Sports Day are over and done with. Didn't make the grade for MSSM, which is at the end of this month. Even if we go for any of the other schools' Sports Days, which they've invited us for, it'll only be for 4x100m. We've been for MSSS relays before, which are nearer the end of the year, but it's still JUST RELAYS. My hurdles, my pet event for the past 7 years, I'll probably never do again. Maybe I'll go for some Opens or something (Truly hope I can), then I'll be reunited with those striped pieces of wood. 

Anyway. Assunta House went to Sports Day today hoping to defeat Francis House, who have long been in the top half of Sports Day. Hermine's been leading almost all the way. We were only 22 points behind Francis, if we did well today, we'd rank second overall. Thus it was in high spirits that our deco team went to work, our marchers marched, our runners flew and our cheerleaders performed. As usual, the day began with Negaraku and prayers, then the marching parade began. As this year's theme was Flora, all the house mascots were dressed as flowers. Assunta's JT from Form 2 was a hibiscus, SO of Hermine was a sunflower, and I couldn't quite catch what Clare's FL and Francis's NY were. The ones holding the "sepanduk" were in traditional garb, mainly cheongsams and sarees. As the procession went round the field, Sports Captain AA had to stop and wait a while as she'd been going too fast so not everyone had started when she reached the end of the field again. Then she started again, not realising Assunta Alumni had yet to start moving. But it went well. 

Then the running events started!! The hurdles were brought out and set up, only six to a lane instead of the normal ten, as many of the hurdles are spoilt from being thrown every-which-way into the store room. We weren't allowed to wear spike shoes for ANY of the events, even individual events like the 100m and 100m hurdles, which don't cross into other people's lanes (I thought this was incredibly stupid, sorry if I'm offending anyone but hello? We run SO MUCH BETTER IN SPIKE SHOES. The reasoning that we might "step on someone" or "borrow spike shoes from school and not wash/return them" just doesn't apply. We've NEVER been allowed to borrow from school for Sports Day anyway. And in the individual events, do you think we'd purposely cross into someone else's lane, disqualifying ourselves in the process, just to step on them? I think not). The start of the lanes was muddy as its been raining really heavily these past few days, so it was pretty slippery. I decided to dig holes in the ground to use as "starting blocks" (which is why my nails are disgusting right now). It helped a little. My event went well, I grabbed the gold. Right after that was the 400m. I thought this would be the event to make or break my chances of being Best Athlete (It was a 3 way race for Best Athlete-IR already had two golds, L had 2 golds and I was trying to get 3 individual golds today) as IR and I were both in this event and both trying to get Best Athlete. I really gave my all in today's 400m. And-GOLD!!!!! I was exhausted, but proud of myself. People kept coming up to me to offer congratulations but I had to keep brushing them off as I couldn't talk properly or anything. I knew I should walk around and try to get my breath back for the next event, but it was SO difficult to even get up. I was alternately sitting and lying down. Band gave a short performance, giving me some time to catch my breath. Then, just as we were about to walk over to the tent to await the start of the 100m, I threw up. I just retched. (Don't read the next few lines if you're squeamish). I'd had marmalade and toast for breakfast, so it was all orange. Could see bits of my toast and marmalade coming out as well. It was mainly liquids, but it felt so good to have it all come out. At that moment in time, I really didn't want to run the 4x100m, I just wanted to go for my 100m, do it to the best of my ability (Yeah, I'm selfish. I still wanted the Best Athlete award but wasn't too fussed about the team event) and be done with it. So, I made my way over to the 100m start, still feeling a bit woozy but much better than before my throw-up. This was another make-or-break event. If L were first, the award was hers. If I got it, then it'd be mine. If either of us got second and someone else (not one of us) was first, then Best Athlete would be between the second-placed girl and IR. Once the P2 had started, we tried out our lanes. I had the same lane as earlier (3rd lane, my favourite. I got this lane for 100m hurdles, 400m and 100m. 5th lane for 4x100m) but I still had to re-dig my "starting blocks". I got off to a poor start. L and ED started really well. They were head to head and it was difficult to tell who had won at the end. I couldn't catch up with them, landing in 3rd place, totally dashing my hopes of being Best Athlete. 

The next event was cheerleading. Juniors went first, followed by the Seniors. I didn't go watch as I was still trying to get over my tiredness. Miss T gave me a whole cupful of salt water to "regain energy". It was so salty!! Tasted like she'd mixed a whole bag of salt in the water. Judging by the cheers of the crowd and what friends said, I thought we'd done pretty well. The final event of the day, the decider of the P1 Best Athlete was the 4x100m. By this time, I'd recovered, so I went ahead with being 4th runner for Assunta. My team consisted of Jay, JY, JL and myself (Yeah, I ran with all the Js). Jay got off to a good start. We were in the outermost lane, so it was difficult to tell if she was actually in the lead or in front because of the curve. JY got the baton, then fell behind to 4th place. JL did an awesome job of getting us back to third, but by then it was too late. I ran against IR, L and T (3 of us school runners) and came in 3rd. Disappointing, but not as disappointing as if this had been the tie-breaker for Best Athlete for myself. Its my own fault for losing the 100m race. 

Then it was prize-giving. For 100m P1, ED got the gold!! And then it was clear who had won Best Athlete, the tie-breaker being 4x100m. Didn't even have to wait for official announcement and I knew. For marching, Clare took home the trophy. Hermine took the trophy for Merentas Desa (I think). Best House Decoration went to Francis. Best Mascot went to Hermine. All my Assunta life I've been under the impression that if you're first for Junior/Senior cheerleading, you can't be first in the other category. So when they announced the Juniors results, JY and I were going "gold gold gold gold". Clare was second and ASSUNTA WAS FIRST!!!! Then we waited impatiently for the Seniors results. Second......CLARE!!! We were going shoot, that means we didn't get it. But then! "Johan Cheerleading Senior tahun 2008 - ASSUNTA!!!" Everyone started cheering like crazy. 'Twas a grand day. Then the best athletes were announced. P3 - Can't remember. Heh. P2 - Thchn from Assunta!!! P1 - IR from Hermine!!! She'd got it based on the results of the 4x100m, in which her team was first. L's team was second.

Then, what we were waiting for - overall results. Clare - fourth. A tense moment as we waited for 3rd placing. We didn't beat Francis :( Francis second, and what was obvious from the start - Hermine first. AA went up to get the trophy and she was so overcome, she started crying. Made ME want to cry. 

All's well that ends well. We finished the day with the singing of the school song. A bit of cleaning up, then snacks in the canteen. 

I can't say that I'm not disappointed in myself. I am - I was aiming for Best Athlete so much. Its my last year and I really wanted to go out with a big bang. But I am proud of myself - for putting the effort in, for getting the gold for hurdles, and especially for beating IR in the 400m. That medal really means a lot now. 

I'll post up photos and videos once I've uploaded them. Tata :D

66th post

Greetings from the land of Caryn's now-not-haunted-condo. Christmas partaaay last night. Bling bling bling it on! Purple dragons.

My nails are growing.

Do your nails grow too? I have to cut mine every week, if not they're too long.

I haven't cut my nails in 3 weeks!!!! I FEEL LIKE EATING CHEESY CRABS!!!!!!!!!!

Pancakes. And chocolate sauce. Lara Cameron.

I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE THAT STORY!!!! ONE DAY I WILL BE FAMOUS AND YOU WILL SEE MY NAME ON EVERY BUILDING IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!

No clothes. Hahahahaha. No toothbrush. Forgot I was staying over. Oops.

She FORGOT. FORGOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No one ever forgets that they're staying over at someone's haunted condo!! And yeah, my condo WAS haunted. I heard a ghost opening and closing doors at 2-16am on Friday, and I had this eerie feeling that something wasn't right. SCARY RIGHT!

Haunted by the ghosts of the past. Nail polish remover. Karaoke. Sushi. Tomorrow, the 16th, is Melisa, Wei-Ming and Josh's "Sweet sixteen". They're not triplets, btw. Just happen to be three people I go/used to go to school with who were all born on the same day. What do you get someone who has everything already?

NOT ONLY ARE MY NAILS GROWING, THEY ARE PEELING!!!!!!!!! I know what to get her! Get her a pet!! Hermit crabs are SO in! Or maybe a hamster, or a goldfish!!!!! She might need companionship!!!!!!!

Uh, right. Broke :( Christmas in 2 weeks :)

Much love,
Melissa and Caryn

Dinner

Guess who cooked dinner tonight?!?! That's right, ME! And no, it wasn't maggi mee or macaroni and cheese or boiled egg. Hmph. You people have no belief in my cooking skills. Okay, so I had (a lot) of help from my dad and my maid, Yuli. Oh, and Jamie Oliver, the guy who inspired the recipe. The original recipe was for "Roast Loin of Pork with Peaches".

We went to Megamall to buy the ingredients. We had to go to four, FOUR different places and NONE OF THEM had the piece of meat we were looking for, which was basically a roll of meat around the ribs. They either had
a) just the ribs, no roll
b) just the roll, in slices
c) the piece we wanted, but cooked
d) no non-halal meat at all

In the end, we settled for pork knuckle. Not the ideal piece, but it still turned out AWESOME. Recipe called for peaches, parsnips, potatoes, artichokes and celeriac but we changed it to peaches, pumpkin, parsnips and big white onion. What you're basically supposed to do is cut the meat around the bone and stuff peaches into the hole that you'd created, then cover it up with butter. I'd filled that knuckle till it was OVERFLOWING. Peaches, butter, everything was squashed inside. So I mean, hello, I expect to see peaches in the meat when I finally open it up right? Nope. I think they all shrivelled up and died inside the roaster. Anyway, they contributed flavour to the meat. You know how sometimes, when you have roast pork, the meat is a bit tough and the crackling's unchewable? Well, this one was just perfect. Seriously (Head not kembang-ing, just telling the truth). Omigosh, it was be-yeu-tee-ful. The pumpkins and onions went really well with the pork. The parsnips on the other hand were a bit overdone. Expensive too. Not using them the next time I do this.

The thing about me or any of my own immediate family cooking is that we tend to leave the cooking a little late, so we end up eating really late. CTMC's bugged me about this before, telling me it's unhealthy to eat so late, just before you sleep, bla bla bla. But who cares? It was well worth waiting for today. Ate at 10 pm.

Anyway, no pictures, it was eaten too fast ;-) More posts the next time I cook.

Ten things about flu

1. You can't breathe through your nose. Thus, you have to breathe through your mouth when chewing food or brushing your teeth, increasing the chances of food or toothpaste going down the wrong pipe

2. You can disgust people by telling them about the colour of your mucus.

3. Everything tastes the same. Good for when eating food you dislike.

4. You have no sense of smell. Useful when going past rubbish dumps or public toilets.

5. Ears keep getting blocked when you clear your nose.

6. You feel lethargic and your body aches. Bed's the best place.

7. Everyone avoids you for fear of catching the bug.

8. Flu is a bug that gets passed from person to person. So you could have the same bug that hit Freddie Mercury.

9. Mentos is good for keeping those airways open.

10. Your speech deteriorates into "Hi, I hab de fwoo. I cadt spea pohpely."

Of spilt food and leaky taps.

My cousins have been round to visit. From the UK and from Penang. Not all, but enough to make me happy :D

Last Saturday, Penang cousins, my sister, aunty and I went to Cosmo's World. Went on the rollercoaster 4 times, and posed for the hidden camera each time. McDonalds for lunch, my sister went to refill the ketchup saucer. She absent-mindedly pushed the refill thing and instead of filling the sauer, she filled her hand with tomato ketchup. Eh?

That night, we had chicken stew for dinner. My cousin sat down at the table, took some stew and poured it into his rice. Only problem was, there WASN'T a plate in front of him. He'd just poured stew all over his place mat.

My family is blur.

Woke up yesterday with a scratchy throat. Soon, it developed into a full blown cold, complete with total body ache and constant nose drip. Sitting in front of the TV: Drip, wipe, drip, wipe, drip, wipe. Not fun.

Hello all humanoids out there! :D


Greetings from MdeBCMM. It's holiday time! Poor CTMC goes back to school tomorrow but I have the WHOOOOOLLEEEE of this week off due to Raya. So Selamat Hari Raya to all! Lots of open houses to go to this Raya. Neighbour, uncle, friends....

Anyway, what have I done these holidays? I'm taking them as total relaxation-no need to worry about anything at all. Just pure bliss. Whatever I want to do goes. So I decided to clean out my drawers. Now the drawers are clean and my floor's a mess. NAdeBCMW and I were playing with candles and waz today. Made our own littlr tea candles. I have one that looks like Isengard! Now THAT one is cool. Also made multi-coloured ones by layering the wax.

Oh gosh, last weekend was just so gooood. Its been so long since I had a totally free weekend. No taekwondo and no piano, plus no school/olahraga/interact/whatever to do. Just wallowed in my own laziness and watched TV like a pro couch potato.

Today there was this huge thunderstorm. TV's blown :( Computer still works though!

I love this shop. You want really really cheap books check out the pay less bookshop on the 3rd floor of amcorp mall. The books are practically half price and they are not hand me downs or "rejected" books! They're books you and I would actually normally buy.

Stuck momentarily, so I'll sign off.

Much love,
MdeBCMM

I must sleep early.

Today was the fiiiiiiirst day of school. The hardest part was waking up, I had to hit the snooze button 3 times. Got on the bus, first thing everyone said was :OOOOO WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR HAIR YOU CUT IT SHORT!!! Niiice greeting!!

Slept through the entire journey, or at least tried to. I was feeling too depressed cuz i was in a bus on the way to school instead of staying at home cuddling in my warm warm soft soft bed with the computer less than 5 metres away from me.. sigh.

Arrived at school.. WOW WE GOT A NEW CANTEEN THINGY!!! Said hey hey hi hi to everyone, nothing too exciting. First period was PE, just great. Second was assembly. Met the new girl, Carmen who seemed really nice. :) Recess, BM, Lunch, math, science and school was overr.

Yea.. first day was okay. Feels good to be back in school, feels good to have my life back on track. :)


OH I CAME UP WITH A THEORY ABOUT HOW WE CAN WAKE UP LATE EVEN ON SCHOOL DAYS.
You see, every single day of our lives, we complain about how we have to wake up so early every weekday. We love weekends cause we can waste the entire morning away just sleeping. SO, our idea of waking up late/ sleeping in is sleeping through the entire morning and only waking up at about 10/11am. So if we can shift our weekend waking-up time to 5am (which means we would naturally wake up at 5am), then we will have like.. an hour and a half of extra sleep on weekdays!!! Don't get it??? its like shifting our sleeping hours earlier, so we don't complain about having to wake up early, cause we're not waking up early, cause 6.30 am is not early, cause we usually wake up at 5.
You get???

I'm guessing you don't. :(

Random Scribblings

Why why why habbo? its a hopelessly addictive game that ppl lose interest in after a month or so. so to my random scribblings-aerobicthon in school yesterday. Held to raise money for the new Art Block. My class made RM1300++. We had a haunted house, people came out CRYING. Yes, we were THAT scary. I have an awesome picture of myself somewhere but I can't upload it because I've gone and spoilt my memory card reader. *Shock, horror* Been campaigning all of last week. Hasn't totally sunk in yet, but you are staring at the scribblings of Assistant Head Girl 07/08. And please change the background, black is just MORBID. Tests next week, my Sejarah last week was just hopeless, its a lost cause as I hadn't read a SINGLE THING before sitting for the test. So yeah. 07/07/07 was Interact Club of Assunta's installation. Not bad, for an installation. The next day was the Chicken Run. Ran around with an egg in an ice cream cone, then enjoyed myself at the theme park (the event was held at Desa Water Theme Park)

Habbo is killing me

HELP!!!!!!!!!! I am addicted to HABBO agaaaaainnnnnn!

This is terrible!
I just bought 3 months of HC
Its ridiculous
The worst thing is, I feel so happy when I'm playing it.
Gahhhhh

Habbo US

Warning-LOOONG post ahead!

Another "make you happy" post

Okay, I'll start off with Lit Night. The English Literary and Debating Society of SMK Assunta held its Annual Literary Night concert on 22nd June 2007. This year, it was themed "MIRRORS". After a month of intensive practices and dragging ourselves out of bed every morning during the school mid year break, it was a great success!! We were so worried, I tell you. NOBODY was buying tickets. Then suddenly, on Thursday, the day before the concert, EVERYBODY wants tickets and are trying all sorts of dirty tricks to coax people into selling them tickets as the tickets were sold out by 8 am on Thursday morning. Anyway, the night kicked off a little off schedule (about 15 mins off) as the spot light had "attitude problems" and wouldn't work. Somehow, the AV team worked some magic and brought it out of its sulking :D The night started with the opening act, Carnivale, an explosion of colours and splendour. Loosely based on a circus, it represented all of us, Lit Night cast and crew, working together in tandem to achieve this night. In this production, I was a bumbling magician. Tried to pull rabbits out of my hat, but only after multiple tries did the rabbit appear. Then, I attempted to make my assistant disappear. I pulled the magic covers over her, counted to three and voila!! Then I looked at her properly and realised she was still there. Ran off the stage in shame.

This was followed by Poetic Mirrors. It was a collection of poetry recitals by people mirroring each other. Then, it was Mirror, Mirror, a play by Singaporean playwright Verena Tay, co-directed by JY and I. It's basically a story about an anorexic/bulimic girl, whose mirror image is constantly pressuring her to lose weight. (I think you guys were awesome, all 6 of you!). Instrumental Fusion wowed the crowd off its feet. Featuring six violinists and two singers, they performed "Reflection" (The song from Mulan) and Can Can. The fifth performance of the night was a solo act by MJ, "French Toast", written by Brian Heath. This was an act that made it to the finals of the ISKL South East Asian Forensics solo acting finals. "The Birthday of the Infanta", the classic story of a Spanish princess (A real spoilt brat) and an ugly hunchback, the Fantastic, made everyone sit up with its elaborate costumes, acting and music. (Btw, Infanta, remember this? I am a real Princess and the daughter of the king of SPIN! Whoever dares disobey me will be BEHIT!! Lol. For the uninitiated, it's Spain and beheaded, not Spin and behit). Our own comic rendition of Medusa had the crowd in stitches (A great script, S :D). Medusa was planning her own stylish death and Perseus, a fool really, helps her do it. A dance number by three very talented dancers to Gloria Estefan's "Rhythm's Gonna Get You" was deeply appreciated by the audience. Then, it was the Disney edition of Snow White, albeit in musical form. As the storyteller of this musical, I was dressed from head to toe in PINK by my teachers (I know, I know, I can already see you saying, PINK?! PINK?!?!). Awesome costumes and acting-great job RYPY! The last performance of the night was the Finale - the singing of LOVE by all the cast and crew. This was followed by the president's speech, thank you presents to our wonderful teacher advisors, and the singing of the school song.

After locking up, it was time for the traditional visit to A&Ws. This is a part of Lit Night that has been around for as long as I can remember. We stuffed ourselves with rootbeer and onion rings and met up with friends, both old and new who came to support our concert.


That night, I only fell asleep at 2 something. JY stayed over as her mum didn't want to pick her up so late. The next morning, a SATURDAY morning, was a school day. Thank goodness I didn't have to go. (I missed the clean up. Sorry, guys!) AN, TW and I went all the way to NILAI for the INTI I-Challenge competition, a series of challenging games. Won't elaborate too much on them, but one of the games was plunging your head into icy cold water and fishing out an apple, an egg and a balloon. My nose froze. Brrrrr. The balloon refused to be caught, you sorta had to chase it round and round the basin, while the egg was at the bottom of the basin, right next to the side, so I gnawed off some of the edges of the basin, XD There was a game involving frogs (they were tiny. Like, one inch long), one involving swimming and one involving balancing trays of water in your left hand over an obstacle course. We did sorta okay for this, we enjoyed ourselves anyway, but didn't advance to the finals which is a singing, acting, dancing competition in August in Subang Parade. Met up with a friend from USJ 12 there, his team made it through to the finals.


So that's June. Now for July's update:

Library Week two weeks ago. Academic Week last week. My Editor-In-Chief has been bugging me about class photos, class photo divider and FoA, and I in turn have been bugging the Arts and Graphics girl about them. They're STILL not done. The first one or two attempts have been rejected, so now someone else is doing the layout. I was in interclass debate last week. The motion was "Handphones should be allowed in school". Even with our weak points, we sounded so convincing we made it through to Finals :D The second motion was "Advertisements have negative influence on the society". We honestly thought we'd lost this round, the Opposition was so GOOD. Yet we somehow managed to beat them, emerging as champions of the Form Four debate :D There were lots of competitions last week besides debate, like drama, oral interpretation, forum, public speaking, science corner, etc. This week is Sports Week. Netball, chess, ping pong, badminton and handball are just some of the activities lined up for the week. Played netball yesterday and had a lot of fun, couldn't even catch the ball properly. I haven't played properly since Form One! We're through to finals. Aerobicthon next week. School's annual "Try to raise money for a new block" project. Then, exams.

I'm going to be so busy next year. ELDS. Prefect. Interact. Rangers. Assunta. Olahraga. Editorial. Posts in at least three of these things. And then there's SPM to think about as well. Need. To. Learn. To. Say. No. NO!

Dinner, have to stop here.
