Sports Day!

Not been able to post an entry for a long time already, sorry busy mah. So far what happened in my life is the Help Institute Badminton Clinic, a few projects, a quiz tomorrow, and Sports Day which was today.

Helped Yellow house to distribute the food and drinks out.. after that did prefect duty.. don't know why the students want to go out earlier.. either you come and stay whole time or DON'T come at all! Then have to tell the parents to sign in the office to bring their child out.. I'm sure many parents were angry at us prefects for causing them that kind of trouble.

Hang Lekir(Yellow) got 1st!!! =P Good right... I didn't contribute much besides getting 2nd last in shot putt though.. hahaha! But good ler, we got 1st. =)Blue house got 2nd.. 3rd Green house, 4th Purple house, 5th Red house.

PBSM got 2nd for marching.. KRS first. KRS won 2 years already.. aizz.. But PBSM had a lot of new form 2 marchers ler.. They'll be more experienced by next year already. And I think the major thing about why PBSM got 2nd is because a couple of them could not hear the commander's command to salute. So a few people were late in saluting, and some did NOT salute. I say that would have caused precious points. KRS on the other hand did very well, although the formation was very confusing they did it really well. PBSM's formation was not so confusing, and much simpler compared to KRS. Anyway, 2nd place is good already.. I see no point for them to be sad, especially the form 2s.

After that went for CF.. =) Suddenly decided to go when I saw the notice on the CF board lor.. managed to drag CPLee to follow me.. hehehe.

Today quite a few members in CF.. but I enjoyed it, as it's one of those really really rare times where I get to stay in for the whole time and not have to leave earlier for duty. Can't wait for morning session school..

After CF CP and I faster walk to CP's house.. haha cause it looked like it was going to rain.. and neither of us had any sort of protection from rain.. hehe nearly reached her house then it started drizzling a bit.. but then stop lah. =) After that mum fetched me from her house.. and here I am lor. Hehe.

Gonna buy a rabbit!

Appeared in Star Metro newspaper! =P For the Help Institute thing ler. Maybe will scan it and put it on my photo page.. but my eyes were shut in the pic =P.

No time

Didn't have much time to go online lately. 2 days ago, I took home the NIE project to REDO the entire thing from scratch. Printed EVERYTHING out, as in the articles and photos. Slept at 3am that night, woke up at 7am to continue. Work on it almost 11 hours, if I count it correctly. Nearly slept in my transporter's car on the way home from school.

Then had to do homework(music, school) and some prefect report.. slept at 2am that night. Woke up at 7am for badminton training. Mr. Ong decided we were not 'tough' enough, so he's decided to train us with VERY tiring routines with a SQUASH racquet! Felt like vomiting at one point man.. but these stuff will make us tough lah =). Hehehe next time don't east jelly for breakfast, suspect that was what made me nearly puke. =P

Another exhausting day.. had piano at night.. I didn't practice 1 song at all, but when play my teacher so good! Technical excercise good mer.. but then the next page harder I could hardly play it.. haahaha! My teacher must be thinking what a weird girl I am.. =P

Today.. For the first time in like forever, I could get up at EIGHT am! had to wake up at 7am for many days already! Suddenly can wake up at 8am today like very nice.. hehe!

Found out about Help Institute Badminton Clinic today.. will be going tomorrow, very last minute I know =P.

Oh yeah.. thanks to my NIE group for the Winnie The Pooh cup! =P They gave me for my so called 'hard' work on the newspaper.. Hehehe! Jess said she wanted to buy a Winnie the Pooh bolster actually.. but then she don't know how to pass to me in school! Hahaha! Then after that say she looked for Winnie The Pooh Shuttlecock.. but cannot find! HAAHAHAH! Laugh until want to die when I think of it! hahahahah! Thanks guys once again! =)

God bless

School..

Yesterday had less homework than usual. Malay essay and a couple of maths sums. Then why did I do finish my homework at 12am last night? Because we had to do NIE project.. Jess, Vic and Kye Ling came over to my house. KL skipped her tuition just to come! Aizz.. anyway, didn't manage to finish, KL went home at 10.30pm, and Jess and Vic left around 11.20pm. And still didn't manage to finish! It's due on Wednesday.. if our newspaper isn't picked to represent our class then all our effort wasted.. haizz.

After that did some prefect stuff. Slept at about 1.30am. Woke up at 7am to send Jessica some of the NIE work, and to play piano. 8.15 CP's mum came to fetch me for badminton.

Badminton so painful on the arm today man! =P Use squash racquet swing until.. :-O Hehehe. But good ler, can feel my arm stronger already =P. Good thing we're doing individual lessons the time and day very flexible, any day any time also can train wan. So we're training on Thursday.. good thing also ler, scared if we train tomorrow our hands cannot swing =P. Aching mah! But doubt it will ache..

Oh yeah.. I got 2nd in class! Hahaha! My best achievement since year 3. =P That was like, 3 years ago.. hahaha! Somemore I studied in front of Thomas Cup.. all last minute studying too :-P.

Today..

Today just pkayed badminton at SK Taman SEA with CP in the morning at 8 something.. hehe nice ler we used the squash racquet, practiced some strokes with it. I managed to beat CP using a squash racquet while she was using a badminton racquet! Hahahaha! 11-3 man =P

Went home.. bath.. ate... guess what? I slept 4 hours after that.. hahaha! =P Then went cycling, decided to use 1st gear, like cartoon cycling only! Hahaha pedal soooo fast but like getting no where only haha! Spent 45 minutes and only managed to cycle 1/4 the distance I usually cycle.. =P Lol! Interesting though.. =)

Went to Giant, bought a ProAce squash racquet at RM49.90 for badminton training. Hehe. No, I DID NOT accidently buy a squash racquet for badminton! Lol, just needed it for wrist work, and I'm hoping it'll improve some strokes of mine. Now I know where all my pocket money go.. on badminton stuff.. grips, strings, shuttles, and now this racquet. Shuttle cost me the most ler.. nearly every month need to buy, and that is if it's not holiday.. if holiday 1 session can finish up half or the entire tube.

Somemore I'm always the one providing shuttles.. others don't want to. Can't blame them though, it's expensive to keep buying RM39.90 shuttles for kids like us. But then again, I don't spend my money on anything but badminton! =) I guess if you're really fanatic about something you won't mind spending anything on it.. Afterall getting up at 7am for badminton after sleeping at 2am is really crazy.. but worth it! =P

Went cycling today..

Just back from training

Haizz.. CP asked coach to make training at 8am today.. She likes to torture both coach and I alike ler.. make us wake up so super early.. I wake up ay 7am.. she wake up at 7.30am.. somemore come late.. I wasted 30 minutes of sleep! Hmmph!

Anyway we did routine work today, lobbing and lifting. Happy to say I think I've finally got the lifting part right, thought I had it right before, but was never taught so specifically until how to grip the racquet. Good thing coach taught us how to grip forehand grip, cause I wanted to ask him anyway, totally forgot how to grip for the forehand lift. Hehehe.

Nearly got bitten by dumb dog..

Today went to Pizza Hut with 9 other friends for Newspaper In Education(NIE) project. Some English stuff lah. We spent RM101.20 on 3 pizzas! 2 large and 1 regular pizza. Hehehe. And some other stuff lah. You can take a look at the pictures in the photo page.

Decided last minute to play badminton. So CP, Wern Ming and I decided to play at 5-6pm. Unfortunately Wern Ming and I had a miscommunication.. he went to SK Taman SEA court to play.. CP and I went to Taman Megah badminton hall.. hahahaha! Called him at 5.15pm, found out he was at the wrong court. =P So he didn't come lor, come also so short time already.

After that CP managed to convince me to follow her to a new mamak stall.. to try some ice-blended drink. Was quite okay, quite cheap too, RM3. But it was sooo far away from home.. reached home at 7.10pm.

After that went cycling.. went around my neighbourhood, went downhill to the Sungai Kayu Arang.. near the Rose Apartment there.. then suddenly one big black dog started chasing me. I've been chased by 2 dogs at once before when I was cycling, but those 2 had short legs. Now.. this black dog was BIG.. it could actually KEEP up with my bike! And I was going uphill too.. a man was shouting WOI!!! at the dog.. but doubt it was his dog, no collar must have been a stray. A lady carrying her baby quickly went back home too.. At least the dog stopped chasing me, in my panic I managed to cycle away in record time. Hehehe :-)

Badminton Training...

I slept rather late last night.. and had to wake up this early this morning for badminton training. I was afraid I would be too tired to stand the training but hey, it turned out okay. =) We did cross-court smash, cross-net, and net as a routine. It was pretty tiring but you must push on to improve right? After that he asked us if we wanted to play badminton this afternoon.. of course CP and I said yes! =P At 3 something he called to say he had sore eyes and couldn't come, but we could still go there and play. Fine with us. =) We went at 4.30pm and met Wern Ming there. Played until about 6.20pm. After that we went home.. and I went cycling around. Suprisingly after all the badminton sessions today I still had a lot of energy, more than usual in fact. I cycled up uphill very fast, which is quite unusual. Usually I just pedal uphill slowly, but today I had extra energy and just ZOOOM! Hahaha, okay maybe not THAT fast.

At the court when we went some kids entered with us. We were sure they weren't supposed to, went to Mr. Ong's house to ask him about it but no one came out of the house. Anyway those kids went off after a while. That's all for today..

Sunway Lagoon!

Today went to Sunway Lagoon with CP, her younger sis and Amelia. We enjoyed ourselves man! Went to every single ride of theirs, all but 1 that is. We didn't want to go on the Ferry Wheel.

In the dry park we went on that Man Eater's Snake or something like that(the snake one, with splashes here and there) 5 times, CP and her sis 6 times! =P We went on the Gallion(however you spell it, the moving ship ah..)about 4 times, went on the Lost City of Gold roller coaster twice, the Buffalo roller coaster once, the Boots once, the Tomahawk(you know, the swinging pendulum like shape thing that goes upside down =P) once, the tea cup once(was quite giddy after this tea cup), Colorado splash(2 people in a tube, slide down from a high slide), and the Rapid Waters (Sit in a huge tube/whatever it's called, then go along in some water pathway and get water splashed on you at certain parts of the journey).

The Tomahawk was fantastic, going upside down. Amelia was practically SCREAMING her head off! Until I asked her to stop "Oh my god"ing! Not that it stopped her from screaming.. =P

The Man Eater's Snake was also great, going up a really pitch black cave and suddenly diving down at the end of it! Then smooth journey for a while.. then we were 'pulled' up a steep slope to prepare for a really big splash =P. The going up was the worse! So slow but so steep.. so slippery I kept sliding backwards against the person behind me! Then.. the big splash! Hahaha =P

The Lost City of Gold roller coaster was nice, but too short and not as thrilling and exciting as Time Square's Roller coaster. Only part I like was when the ride was so rough and bumpy we were held on only by our safety belts, having sort of 'jumped' up for a moment. Hehehe.

The Gallion was pretty okay, but after sitting the Tomahawk it wasn't as thrilling anymore, but I still enjoyed it. =P

The Buffalo roller coaster was really nothing... meant for babies I guess. Just really bumpy, was afraid I was gonna be full of bruises today hehehe.

Boots was just some sort of round thing that went round and round and up and down quite fast. Was okay, but makes you quite giddy.

Tea cup? Made me VERY giddy! Cuz it was just after riding the Tomahawk.. was so giddy man! Couldn't really enjoy it, I had the impression that the Tea cup was for babies! But it sure goes very fast in circles for babies.. hahaha.

Colorado splash.. went twice. Was quite nice, but not exciting enough. Too short, hardly wet, but still quite okay lah.

The Rapids was quite nice, went 3 times I think. Got very wet but we all enjoyed it. =P

In the Wet Park there wasn't much, just a wave pool with waves sometimes, and 2 slides with tubes.

In the wave pool. When the waves start, I think it's timed, maybe every 15 minutes or so we really enjoyed ourselves. Nice mah, get big waves to splash at you. The bunch of jokers I went with chased and chased me around until they caught me and pushed me underwater. Thanks a lot you guys! %-)

The slides were quite interesting. 2 in a tube, we went down a slide, the 1st one was a short one but quite painful on the butt! Hahaha! Amelia told me to keep my butt of and not touch the slide, I only listened to her advice halfway. Nearly at the end I relaxed.. without realising that there were hard rubber mats at the end of the slide to stop us! Ouch! =P

The 2nd slide was quite okay too. Just went down until you reach a pool, Amelia sat in front of me and when she reach the end she 'popped' off the tube! I was laughing until I couldn't get out of my tube! =P

After the Dry park we went to Wet park, then we went back to dry park after bathing and changing to dry clothes. There's this exhibition of fossils there, we went in and saw a huge dinasour, the something-saurus, forgot how to spell already. Hehehe it was making noise and growling and we were like, walking extra slow TOWARDS it.. then we decided to turn back =P. After that we got brave and went again, I think it has censors in it's eyes, a red laser light because it moves it's eye around, then it started MAKING the noice again once it sort of spotted us. We were amazed man.. hehehe. I said imagine if the head was faulty and dropped off in the midst of a roar.. total chaos man. Hehehe.

Overall? Tomahawk was the most thrilling.. but still not good enough. No ride there seem too scary, all were too short in fact. Oh well, had a great time. Went cycling after bathing when I came home.

Back from Malacca

Today just back from Malacca.. had a good time there but slightly boring lah. Ate sate celup with relatives last night. I broke a record.. I ate 9 sticks! Lol I don't really like sate celup you see so eating 9 sticks was considered very good in MY opinion. After that went to an uncle's house.. outside in his garage was FULL of study books going to be RECYLCED! Brand NEW! The son is a salesman, give all these naskah contoh books away, the extras he recycle. 2 relatives of mine who are teachers took plenty of books, my brother took a lot of form 4/5 books too, and I took a few form 2 books. What a waste... recycling brand new books. Oh well, at least I managed to get a few books before it got recycled. =P

Reached PJ at 2 something this afternoon.. there's a Malay wedding going on down the road. Can hear the music from here.. Hahaha!
