Just my luck. The one time I actually take a decent looking picture of myself, the stupid camera cable doesn't work, and aargh! This stinkin' Mozilla Firefox is so damn slow!
Sigh. I know what you're thinking? Another bad day, huh? Well, I'll have you know, my day was not "bad". It was, in fact, miraculously splendid. For lunch we were actually treated to dim sum (where, might I add, I really stuffed myself). After that, we made a trip to Summit to buy me even MORE Add. Math books (sweatdrop, much...).
So, I suppose you can say that, all in all, my day was pretty darn good, doncha' think? (doncha' know? Haha)
Anyways, apart from that, I didn't make it as public speaker this year. Nirmal did, and I must say, I am rather proud of him. If Zenj's explanation was correct, than, yeah, I can't help but feel glad of the training I helped give (lol me!)
Hmm. Do you realize I use the word, "anyways" far too much? I do. Its getting really annoying, don't you think? I really suck at linking my paragraphs together.
So, anyways (there I go again), when I went in Popular today, I saw this REALLY coooool Yu Yu Hakusho (repeat it 3 times for good Yu Yu Hakusho luck) ORIGINAL COMPLETE DVD BOX SET!!! (scream like a fan girl three times at the top of your voice, then go, "YU YU HAKUSHO!" twice). It costs only RM99!!
AAAAAAH! I have SO got to buy it! I know most people think its lame and old-school and whatever crap like that, but, seriously, I don't give a donkey's ass (get it? DONKEY's ASS? Aah, forget you).
I practically demanded my mother to get me it for my birthday (which is on July 6th! Wink-wink, nudge-nudge), but my mum retorted by telling me she had decided on buying me the 7th Harry Potter book instead (I have absolutely NO objections to that!).
Sigh. How'm I s'posed to find RM99? I DESPERATELY need that Yu Yu Hakusho DVD set!
Umm... pity for the poor, anyone?

Oh, Woe Is Me!
My parents are out (again!) and I'm supposed to be studying (again!). These past few days have been dedicated to Add. Maths, Add. Maths, and even more Add. Maths. Ughhh! Its driving me insane!
Not to mention the fact that I've just been told to get a speech done by TOMORROW for the Public Speaking competition ON THURSDAY. Aaah! I have absolutely NO idea what to talk about! I've been given a few choices, but my mind just goes all blank everytime I find myself in front of the computer screen. I've been trying, with multiple failed attempts, to get a bloody speech done, and now I'm getting extremely desperate!
Oh, woe is me! Zenj and Nirmal must be having better luck than I am, I can tell you that!
AAAARGH!! I'm so angry that I just want to implode or something!!
My dad is forcing this stupid Add. Maths book into me. He said NO TV or computer until he comes home -- which would be like, four hours from now?! UGH! How am I going to survive?! Being the insolent fool I am, I decided to ignore him and went online anyways (the reason why I am here now).
I did about 10 mathematics questions, and I have another 50 to go before I can satisfy them!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

A Short One
Its been a while since I've updated this thing. My bloody computer doesn't work on blogger, so I am forced to use the study-room PC instead -- and the study room computer is, like, SO slow! Arrrgh!
Anyways, a lot has happened during these past few... weeks. Bad news? Loads. We lost debate. I failed my first EVER Add. Maths test. I made a complete mockery of my self so many times that I can't even count 'em.
Good news? Close to nil. I can count them with my fingers, in fact. I made Secretary of the English Society and the AJK of Chess -- which, I believe, is REALLY unfair to the other members. I mean, I've never even BEEN for Chess, and the one day I DID, I made it as AJK. And Besides, I hardly even know how to play the bloody game.
Hmm. Aside from that... I GOT MY MP4 player! Woo! The entire process of getting the dang thing took about 5-7 hours, more or less? Anyways, it was definitely worth it. I paid exactly RM200 (which is EXACTLY my budget) and got this pretty cool minmi version PFM-240 which I named, "Jack" (trust me, you don't want to know).
Ariel's birthday was today. They were so busy with choir; I'm kinda glad I didn't join, or else I'd be forced to meet for practices almost every single day. I gave Ariel this watch. My mum actually chose the gift, so Ariel, if you're reading this, you can thank my mum for that! ;)
Ariel and I have also decided to start making these freaky X-Men comics. A few of our friends have read it, and I guess they think its pretty cool, so I'm planning on publishing it to the school magazine. Yay! Now everybody can know how insane and immature I am!
I've been watching American Idol again this year. Its great! VOTE BLAKE LEWIS! :) or Jordin Sparks! Anyone but Sanjaya, Gina, Haley, and Phil (so what I'm pretty much saying is that you have a choice between Chris, Chris, Jordin, BLAKE <<<< VOTE HIM, LaKisha and Melinda).
Remember America, the choice is YOURS. Make it right!

Fooled By A Pancake: A True Story
I've been rather busy these past few days; ever since the last update of this blog. See, our next (first, for this year) debate competition is officially next Thursday, and I'd be damned if I took the occasion lightly.
We (the main debaters) have been meeting non-stop. We had our first meeting yesterday at McDonald's, where we didn't get much done, and ended up getting trapped in the rain after a quick break to the nearby 7-11 (I'll elaborate more on that in a bit). Today, in fact, we just had our second meeting -- but this time at a more suitable location; Book Culture; and this Sunday we are gonna schedule in our final, last-minute meet before the official debate competition.
Its been rough, planning all this. And the fact that I was just forced to do loads of research and am forced to get two speeches done AND memorized by this Sunday brings me back to the suckier parts of debate.
I mean, how could I possibly forget the struggle I had to endure last year? So far I've just remembered the various victories and the many lepaking we were able to schedule in during class hours... now I know.
Of course, I am taking this debate thing far less seriously than I did last year. I honestly do not want to get into a nervous breakdown before the competition, and I don't want to cry if I lose, so... whatever. I'm just hoping to take the stage right and claim this year my own.
Anyways, on to the tale of the very unfortunate Wednesday...
We met up around 2.20pm. Our original plan was to meet and totally go all out; not take our own sweet time and schedule in some unwanted crap-sessions. But somehow, being the "oh-so-focused" group of people we were, we could not help but to constantly stray out of topic.
I don't know exactly how it happened, but we had somehow managed to go from "Internet Promotes Learning" (our title for debate next week), to 7-11, to One Tree Hill. Don't know why, but most schools take us for granted. Perhaps it is merely the name, "SMK Bukit Kemuning" that makes us sound like kampung-ers, but I, personally, do not get it.
We have a McDonald's, for crying out loud!! Not to mention 3 (count 'em, 3!!) 7-11s! I mean, does that not just scream "civilization" to you?! What kampung do you personally know has 3 7-11s?? Besides, we almost even had a Jusco!
Ahem.
Apart from that, after the whole trip to ONE of the THREE 7-11s in our dear, wonderful and very much civilized town, we got caught in the rain on the way back. Me with hands full of goodies I just spent on. I still remember it; a blue-coloured, terribly melted slurpy in my right hand, and a delightful Picnic bar in my left.
So, there we stood. Sitting (or in my case, standing) underneath Proton, the shop right across from McDonald's (a symbolism of civilization), watching the heavy rain fall from the gray-coloured heavens, waiting for our parents to arrive... happy, happy day.
And today was another happy day. Oh, yes. We had gone out to this quaint little restaurant called "Treats" while supposedly waiting for our ex-Third Speaker, kG, to arrive. It was a pretty well-decorated restaurant... the menus were sweet... it even had decent background music! However, as all good things must have its faults, ours happened to be a rather big one (or should I say "little"?)
After recieving the menu, we decided to order this very appetizing-looking plate of pancakes, which, according to the menu, had a stack of FOUR in one plate. The size of the pancakes were also decently large, and was topped with very attractive syrup and a stick of butter. Scattered on the side of the dish, making it look even more scrumptious, was a handfull of strawberries and blueberries.
Being the suckers we were, Zenj and I decided to try some. We bought only one plate, deciding so because we thought there would be four pancakes (two for each) and would split the cost in half. I mean, a plate of pancakes THAT appetizing would definately be worth its price, right? RM6.90 only, right? If its as good as they made it look.
After minutes of waiting, our pancakes finally arrived. What was placed on the table before us was not at all what we had expected.
There was a plate, yes. Pancakes, yes. Syrup, a bottle, in fact.
But the pancakes were mini-sized and the syrup was cheap and there weren't even proper strawberries! We paid RM6.90 for a plate of THREE mini-pancakes and a small stick of strawberry JAM.
JAM!!
Grr... You have no idea how terribly cheated I felt at that moment. I even had Audrey take pictures of the pancakes with her camera-phone. I'll show it to you on my next post, together with the picture shown on the menu, and a delightful ad for men.
Til next time!

Room to Breathe
eI've been extremely pissed-out lately, and I don't really know the reason why. I just find everything irritating and unbearable, and I often find myself cussing and snapping at the tiniest of faults and reasons.
At the moment, I am sitting in my room, soaking in the tantalizing lyrics of Linkin Park and trying to ease my flaring temper. I just cleaned up downstairs, and I am now locking myself from the rest of my family.
My uncontrollable temper seems to slowly be clawing into the moods of everyone else; now my sister is mad for no reason, and I have the great temptation of screaming at her to, "shut the hell up."
Sometimes I wonder; would I be happier if I was all alone? Uninterrupted by the petty needs of the rest of the world?
I realize that my temper seems to unleash itself far more during the holidays than it does during my average school days. Is it just me? or perhaps the fact that I don't have enough time during school days to flare out at everyone else??
Well, I've gotta go now. I'm skipping my chores, and ignoring my parents, so I best not push my luck any further. Bye.

Sweat, Grime and Valentines
Today was Valentines Day -- is Valentines Day -- and as usual, nothing completely out-of-the-ordinary happened; to me, at least.
We spent a whole 3 hours at the school field; sweating, stinking and whining under the hot sun while we waited our turn on the lontar peluru whatever whatever. I made a total fool out of myself by being one of the few people who did not pass a single event! Ergh! I'm so furious at myself.
By 10.10am, my face resembled that of a lobster, and I was, to put it into simple terms, terribly embarassed.
On the bright side, however, the whole, "sukantara" thing wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. Ariel and I had our share of laughs. We made up this rediculous song that drove mostly everyone who heard it insane! Haha. I got a good laugh out of that one.
You know the song, "Farmer in the Dell"? Yes, the child song, thats the one. Yeah, well, due to the fact that UV rays were practically drilling holes through my very flesh, Ariel and I had come up with this new way of singing it -- a parody, if you must.
I won't waste my time by typing the entire bloody thing into this blog. I'm far too... sane... to do such a thing.
After recess, Ariel and I occupied our preciously wasted time by doing other preciously wasted activities. We read, we sang, we chatted. Nothing much there. Our Math teacher allowed us to go out at 1.38pm, instead of the usual 2pm.
Having MORE free time on our hands, Ariel and I decided to make a quick break to the nearby 7-11. We bought ice-creams and chowed down before my mum came to pick me up.
And.... here I am!
Interesting day, huh? All I want to do now is fall into unconsciousness by the sweet, soothing sounds of my Windows Media Player. I would use an MP4 player instead, but considering I don't have one, I had to stick with my lame second alternative. Sob! I'm just pathetic like that.
