Dinner parties rock

I went to the exhibitions in the afternoon after my Bio class, and daddy willingly agreed to bring me, so why not? I wanted to bring my little Tarap, but then he didn’t want to go!!! Fat, lazy bum! I wish he did, since he’s so much of a 井底之蛙. He needs to see the world, not his computer!

I first reached SAS and felt weird going there in casual clothes (like usual, I’m too used to uniform). After that, I stopped by at the biology lab to see the displays. I found Kevin G first, and he showed me his experiment.

Then Barry boy spotted me and introduced me to Julius, someone they always mentioned on MSN. I kepo-ed around all the displays. Jac’s display was cruel! He kept splashing water at this kid. Boo Jac! Shining’s one stinks, literally. It smelt of rotten egg. After that Jac brought me up to Lee Teen’s lab, where we met her at the staircase

I stayed there for a long time, and then soon after that Lee Teen brought me around. I like seeing the Primary section. There was a pet rat, turtles, fishes, etc. Mr Peter talked to me, and I didn’t realize he was calling me for so long haha. He went all, “Lim, Lim, Lim” and I was still blur XD And then I realized, oh yeah! my surname is Lim. lol.

My dad promised to pick me up at 4, but then by 4 he wasn’t there so I called him. I sat in front of the basketball area, waiting for him. I just sat at the side (under the hot sun) since I still felt weird (duh, my public places phobia was catching up with me).

In the car I got scolded for choosing inappropriate days to go for these things. Meh, blame SAS, not me And when I got home, my mom was shocked, since she thought I had reached home at 2. I forgot to tell her that I went to St. Andrew’s. Whoops I took a bath and prepared for the night.

Karate

I know I skipped out on karate for 2 months before joining the proper CCA in school. Strangely, I’m better than the others. I concentrate fully, and didn’t get punished.

I’m currently learning Kihon Kata, which is the basics. Grading will be at the end of the month, and sensei said that I should go for it, since I can do karate fairly well.

Note: That guy is NOT me. I’m a girl FYI.

When I went for lessons last week, Elisha taught the white belts. I’m a white belt so I had to follow as well. He counted.

One, two, FOUR, FOUR, five, six, seven eight.

I’ve never let him off since then, mehehehe.

And during grading in school last week, Faiz and another purple belt-er were sparring, and then it went all lulzy. They seemed uncertain and were unfocused. We were all laughing. Faiz ended his move with a pawing like gesture, and I also keep teasing him about it xD

Mursyid, on the other hand, doesn’t want to acknowledge that I’ve known him since Primary. What a snob At least I still am fast enough to punch him XD

Several entries grouped together

I forgot to blog several times here (but I did blog on QYnet), so I’ll just copy and paste everything over here. Plus I’m not blogging much lately with the arrival of tests and whatnot.

To the Mall

I went to the Mall yesterday with my friends from St. Andrew’s. It was great! I reached there at arond 10.35, and searched high and low for YP. I walked up and down and up again, and I was about to walk down when Jac called my name. So we both went to search for the others. Jac ran down to meet with Kevin C and Kevin G. The two didn’t see Jac, but saw me, so I kept pointing at Jac’s direction and they looked blank. So I also walked down, and we all walked up together. Nice.

Soon we met up with Shu En, Hazel and Felix at the cinema area. YP was late, but we all met up in the end nonetheless. We didn’t know what we wanted to eat, so in the end we walked down, then across the street to Mc Donald’s. It’s been 6-7 years since I went into that building. Childhood memories flooded into my mind. The girls and Felix ordered food. I didn’t order at first, but then I really felt hungry so I bought porridge, which is very typical of me.

Kevin C wanted a haircut so he and Kevin G went to Alan Salon in the Mall. We ate and gossiped. Somehow the topic of a particular girl came in, and apparently they knew what she did :O After a while we went back to the Mall to find the Kevins. We were about to SMS them when they appeared. An exhibition was to be held in the Mall so there was an empty table with four chairs. Felix, YP, Shu En and Hazel sat down while I stood and we all chatted.

We then went to the Food Court since the Kevins were hungry. Jac also ate again, because his apple pie wasn’t enough. I tried to snatch his wallet though, but it was a failed attempt I saw the various $1 notes and got greedy, meheheh.

We then went to the Arcade to see Grand Master Felix at play. I’m sure he quite stood out, because there were 4 girls around him LOL. Then the girls went to buy tokens and Karaoke-ed. I never heard the songs before, so I didn’t sing along

After that I played basketball with Jac. I thought that a rematch was fair, since last time I had help. During the first round, I scored nicely, but then as the second round approached, I felt my hands tire, and so had barely the strength to shoot properly. He scored 112, and I scored 64. He went about boasting about it to everyone. Sigh, maybe challenging him was a bad idea? Who cares! At least I had fun.

We then went to watch Shutter. Since it was considered a horror movie, Kevin C arranged us all to sit. Boy, Girl, Boy, Girl in two rows. I thought that by changing seats with Kevin G, I would get away with it. Unfortunately, the boys rearranged themselves and I had to sit with Jac. Jac said that he would be killed, so he and Kevin C changed places. In the end, I was supposed to sit with YP.

I bought popcorn and a drink (since I only ate porridge but didn’t buy a drink). When we got in the cinema, Kevin C rushed to sit in my seat, and then I was forced to sit beside him. I got scared because of the cold atmosphere in the cinema as well as the constant ghost noises made by Kevin C. Heh, he even kept pulling my left hand from my left ear so that I would listen to the movie. The movie isn’t that scary as I think back.

I screamed thrice in the movie because of Kevin C. He made me lose concentration, and when I do that I usually scream when something appears. Because he shook my hand so vigorously, trying to pry it from my ears, I dropped my popcorn several times, making a mess. In the end my popcorn wasn’t finished (which is a first, seeing that I always love to eat popcorn). It’s funny that the people in front of us were really screaming a lot. They screamed at a part which wasn’t scary, so the eight of us laughed at them because them screaming was hilarious. The ending was disappointing though.

We then went to the arcade, but we girls decided that we wanted to eat ice-cream. We walked down to DQ, and then the boys rushed down too (a few minutes after that), as Jac wanted to pay for YP who paid for his movie ticket. Jac and Felix continuously tried to give her the money, but she didn’t want it, so I helped to “protect her”. Felix kept telling me to not be a busybody and just eat my ice-cream.

I bullied Kevin C by grabbing his $46. I gave Kevin G $1, Felix $5, and each of the girls $10. We returned him the money though. YP held on to his money longest. “If you don’t pay you’re going to spend a night with me oh,” he said to her. She did return the money in the end.

Because he was loaded, I said, “We’re friends, right? So you should lanja (treat) me just a little bit.” Then he said, “Since we’re friends right, then show us a little bit.” So I rolled up my sleeve by 1 cm and said, “Nah, see already.” And then he said that he meant me to strip. I gave a WTH look at him.

Then we all were supposed to walk up when Jac borrowed my phone and phoned his brother. The phone call was really long so I was worried. What if I ran out of credit? Thank goodness my free credit was still there, so I wasn’t charged anything. Hazel and I accompanied Jac to find his brother who was working out at the Fitness Zone

Then we went to the arcade to find the others, but we couldn’t. We did meet some of the other SAS’s people. I saw Shawn, my friend from Inforama two years ago. I asked him if he still joined Inforama but he didn’t. Ben looked blank. “What’s Inforama? It sounds so familiar.” So we explained and he went, “ohhh!” and Shawn said, “You’re a computer student and you don’t know?”

Then Hazel received a message from the others pin pointing their location so we went to Chong Hock. They weren’t there. They were in xplorer, the place where I love to buy presents because there are many many cute toys! Then we went down to Ego, because it was nearly 5pm. Jac’s brother had apparently called my phone and then I realized that I didn’t see or reply to his SMS. We told him to meet at EGO, but he thought we meant meet at EGM. Then Jac went to collect his brother when he saw him.

We then discussed our transport home. Hazel needed to rush home before her parents arrived, so Jac’s brother agreed to bring her and YP was following them. Shu En also needed a ride, but then I offered to let my mom bring her home since at least I’d have company when they all leave. Kevin C and Kevin G went home first, and then them. So it was left with me, Shu En and Felix.

Felix was busy talking to his cousin so Shu En and I went shopping for bread (as per mom’s request). Then Felix went to the arcade. Shu En and I weren’t allowed in because we had food, so we went to DJ since I wanted to buy CDs for my brother. Then we both went window shopping. I didn’t realize that my mom was calling me. I thought, “Wow, these shops rock! They’re playing Utada Hikaru’s First Love!” *facepalm*

So we got in the car and Shu En and I continued to gossip until she reached home. After that I got home too, and had a great time doing my *still incomplete* Additional Maths homework. Oh yay! Another 6 exercises to go. Goshdangit! I fell asleep while using the laptop, and it was frying by the time I woke up. Meh, I should not try to Cabal anymore, because my graphics driver can’t handle it. Boo to 3D games!

W.I.P

I’m still trying to get my site back together, but I really feel like redoing it all. My posts from last year are too emo Last year was the worst ever transition period of my life.

Sigh, that’s one heck of a long to-do list. I need to complete all this by.. 30th March. holy shit!

At the brink of exhaustion

I just had my first Karate class yesterday. It was really fun, but I need to catch up with the class since I’m 6 lessons behind thanks to BGIC

Oh I feel so famous! I (more like my face) got published in RanoAdidas’ blog! In the first photo, I’m holding a placard (Denmark) two to the left of a boy in the center of the photo. In the second photo, I’m at the back row in the far right. I can’t be seen in other photos though I was also on the Borneo Bulletin on March 4th but then you can’t see my face. I was looking to the left. Blame the girl I mentioned in the previous post. ha-ha.

Anyways, my coach encouraged me to take up extra lessons in Pusat Belia on Fridays and Sundays at 3pm. I can only make it next week though, since I’m in no mood to go for Karate today with my sore body. I’m seriously out of shape!

I need to catch up on my maths homework. I’ve another 10 D-Maths assigments and 5 A-Maths assignments to do. HELP!

Letting it out

This is a rant. Read it if you’re OK with a lot of swear words coming from my mouth or fingers.

I shall not..

1. play Maple until 2 am.
2. fight with my mother over stupid matters.
3. procrastinate doing biology homework that is overdue
4. drink soya bean
5. eat a lot of food
6. eat peanuts

Reasons:

1. holy crap! Eyebags!
2. Because I love her <3
3. I’m gonna die if I don’t do my homework!
4. I puked it out.
5. I need to keep fit!
6. It triggered my rashes today.

Conclusion: I need to take care of my diet, school life and other things…

I am a failure.

Our hard work and effort down the drain. Our hopes that it would be passed on to GA because it was a good resolution was crushed. We had failed.

Kelvin, Ezah, Faizan and I worked hard on our resolution and we expected to pass it to GA because it was really good. There were no flaws and it seemed like the most perfect resolution ever. Until the delegate of Colombia stepped up and made an against speech against us.

Since it was dealing with Colombia, support from Colombia is essential. Since she didn’t want to support us, no one else did. The super tall guy from UK beside me, well he supported me. So did a cute little girl from SMJA, and the delegate of Germany. I rather pleaded with them, but they had willingly agreed as thy couldn’t find any flaws.

Well, I think that other delegates probably were intimidated by our resolution. If they had supported ours, they feared that their resolutions wouldn’t be passed. When asked, their reason was that they were doing the same topic. Like STFU bitches! !$%^*&@

It’s all about them, and not about the resolution. Certain delegates backed out of our sponsorship list, and so I plan to dump them later.

An eye for an eye. A pound of flesh for a pound of blood. Revenge.

Kelvin’s the most disappointed of us three as he was the one who wrote most of the resolution. His main hope was to get it passed onto GA. I didn’t know what else to do but to offer Redondo to everyone in my team.

I’m actually rather emotionally drained. Sigh. I really had high hopes for my resolution, honest! And Chris, the chair, said that he and May Ann believe that our resolution was the best among all.

Someone actually fell asleep during the conference, and everyone laughed at his response.

Chair: Delegate of Japan
D.o.J.: Present and voting
Chair: Delegate of Japan
D.o.J: Present and voting.
Chair: Delegate of Japan, please answer for, against or abstain.
D.o.J: Here. Oh! Against.

Anyways, some special guests are invited to BGIC and tomorrow I’m going to meet one! I’m really exhilarated because I can meet someone famous, or even take a picture with them!

I conclude this post with….. PICSPAM!

Grandma <3

She was one woman that I never did appreciate until I was older. I recall the times that she talked to me, advising me about a lot of things, and all I did was to run away. She lived with my family and I when I was still living in the flat.

I think my grandmother suffered from Alzheimer’s. I remember she took my doll and cradled it. I remember the feelings of anger rising within me as I couldn’t play with my doll. When I tried to snatch it back, my grandmother said (in Teochew), “Mai dong ie, ie lo kun” or in Chinese “不要动她。她在睡觉。” meaning “Don’t disturb her, she’s sleeping.”

I now know that, at this age, it was her maternal instinct that made her still cradle the doll so lovingly. I now notice that in the olden days in China, realistic dolls like the ones I had were rare and expensive or not even created yet, so that’s why she thought the doll was a real child.

I remember running away from her. According to my mother, when I first fell down the staircase when I was little, the one I shouted for was my grandmother, who immediately came to my rescue. According to my sister, I once accidentally threw a little stone at my grandmother as well. Knowing that I’ve done that makes me super upset. I hurt the one who loved me.

I wish I understood sooner, and wasn’t a bratty kid. I wish to beg for her forgiveness, if she was still alive today. She would’ve been around 96 years old.

I want to know more about her, more about her life in China, her childhood, everything. I can’t unfortunately. I know that if only I was more matured, I would’ve loved her to bits. But I was a brat at that time, who didn’t like to be touched or loved. I regret being the old me.

I’m glad that this event has taught me to appreciate everyone around me, even you readers who come by. My grandmother has made a huge impact on my life even after her death. And for that, I am grateful to her.

Gosh, this entry has made me cry more than anything else. I really miss her. And this marks her 10th year anniversary. Ily grandma.
