OMG what a rare sight!
MY SISTER and BROTHER are playing SNAP! Snap you know? The game two person put cards and if same cards then have to say SNAP and who put their hand there first won't have to take the cards!
I think they are playing the Happy Family card game after this! You know, the cards with different members of a family then you ask the next player if they have this 'Barbara Bun' or 'Betty Bone'? So fun! I wanna play!
Sigh tomorrow EST. Better go study a bit now.
And Saturday got Asean test! How to study ah? And the test is bloody long! From 7.30a.m to 12 and then lunch break and then continue till 6.30 p.m!
OMFG wei.
And I thought exams are over and done with, for now.

Thanks for everyone's advices on the matter regarding my Asean scholarship. I still don't know what I should do but after emailing the lady again, I got a reply that seemed quite convincing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Miss Liew,
The normal requirement is for all scholars to arrive in late December. In
the event that you are awarded the scholarship, you may wish to submit an
appeal at that point to arrive a week after the start of the term.
We have allowed deferment of entry in previous years on a case by case
basis but as far as I know, they were allowed because they were required to
serve national service. At this point, I would not be able to advise you
further about whether or not such an appeal would succeed.
The best advice I can offer you now is, if you are still very interested in
this scholarship, go ahead and take the tests and if selected, put in an
appeal.
The other alternative would be to take a gap year and apply again for the
next year's intake.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeap so I've decided. I'm gonna go for the test although it's very inconvenient (the place is an hour ride from my place and I need to be there before 7.30 if not cannot take the test so Mom had to ask her cousin's blabla to fetch me blabla since she won't be here blabla).
I'm gonna just try lah, albeit being very pessimistic about it. Hello? How to compete with so many brains? And secretly inside, I hope I don't get also. Heh heh. But I shall just bet my luck eh? Like someone commented, there will be a lot of 'what ifs' if I didn't take the test. So if don't get means I'm not as smart lor! Case closed. Plus I won't study/prepare myself for the test cause STUDYING IS OVER for now!!!
And thanks everyone for their advices again. I don't even know what I want actually. I'm happy staying in M'sia but will also like to go overseas but am not willing to work so so so hard and wanna holiday longer!
Langkawi..huhuhu.
If I go Asean, no more Barry for me. Huhuhu.
I want so many things. Sigh.
---------
Something's wrong. Aunt Petunia's here for a total of TWELVE bloody days already! (pun!) Mom said it might be cause of the stress and all but thing is, I'm not really that stressed also.
And being the usual kiam siap me, I refused to go to a gynae till if this happens again next month.
Not gonna update much cause I'm very happy today!!!
SPM's unofficially over and I don't give a damn if you tell me I still have EST to look forward to.
Oh yes, by the way, today's Bio was quite tough especially the Paper 2. And I though I've studied enough..
.
.

Sigh so bored. =(((
What to do?

*grabs Biology book*
AGHHHH NOOOOOOOOO! I'm so gonna relax. I'm..I'm..I'm gonna..erm..gonna..agh!
What am I gonna do???

One big fat opportunity thrown down the drain and flowed to the South China Sea.
SIGH
You see, I received my reply from Asean lately.
It was good news cause I was selected to sit for the selection test this Saturday.
And if I do pass the test (test apparently quite ok and most people will pass), I'd be studying in Singapore for free! With allowance! for A levels! for two years!!!!!!
FREEEEEE!!
But..scholars have to arrive in Singapore on 27 Dec 2005 and latest by 3 Jan 2006.
You know what that means, don't you?
That means I'd be busy having fun in my Youth Exchange trip in South Africa!!!
I'd only be back on 6th of Jan and there's NO way I can come back earlier unless I cancel the whole trip altogether.
Man, this so suck. What if choosing not to go Asean is another big mistake like what happened when I chose to not go MRSM when I got the offer last year?
I mean I know I'm happier here and all but I just think that things might be better if I'm there, education wise. But then again, my social life would be nonexistential.
Sigh. I guess this is the same with Asean huh?
I can't cancel the trip. It'll bloody cost me RM7,000! ERGH.
Sigh.
I hate making decisions. I hate having to choose a path. I hate two roads diverged in a yellow wood! I hate thinking which road will make a difference!
So I guess..
Bye-bye, Singapore.
Sniff.
Edit: Maybe there's a bright side after all. Look, if I get Asean, I can't go SA AND Langkawi! And my life will resume being boring and have to study damn damn hard and no more holidays!.

I'm sitting here at 1.30 a.m on a Monday morning because my boyfriend is watching some MU match and I'm feeling quite good so I don't wanna pry his eyes off the match and because he has been very emotional lately thanks to some legend's death. (Yes yes dear, I know. Georgie Best, superstar, walks like a woman and wears a bra, a bloody good player, charismatic, 5th Beatle. See! I've been listening!)
Right.
Today is a nice day, hor?
.
.
.
How's your dog doing?
.
.

My tortoises are fine, in case you're wondering.
Right, like I want a tortoise as a pet.
Agh, I don't know what to blog about! Biology is killing my brain cells! So how about having an intellectual discussion on meiosis? Not your cup of tea? How about photosynthesis? Plants' growth? No?! Reproduction can?!
*tears hair*
Alright, I'm feeling better now. My brother just taught me how to strum Jingle Bell Rocks! Yay! Now can go play that song during Xmas for my host family in South Africa!
Brother was complaining how daft I am for forgetting those simple chords. Hmmp! I was the one who learnt strumming guitars even before you were born, young man! Funny how he managed to learn so fast in a short span of 3 weeks. It's all about passion, I tell you.
Speaking of passion, I feel like talking about basketball today. You see, I was a bball freak last time but lost whatever passion I had. Same goes to playing guitars, drums (never good in musical instrument but it's all about practice and passion), going church, being holy yadda yadda. Anyway that's beside the point.
I got into bball cause of this guy I had a massive crush on when I was 14. He was a bballer and I, like any other silly infatuated teenage girl who owned a 3310 with a pink glittered casing embellished with dragon (WTF!) handphone, decided to play bball to somehow make that guy interested in the fat me (what the hell was I thinking) and also as an excuse to see him.
To cut a VERY bloody long story short, I got together with him but broke up soon and was into bball ever since. So, yeahlah, thanks to him also.
When I was 14 till 16, I played bball like crazy. I played everyday and on Saturdays, I'd play from 7 a.m till 1 p.m; risking my skin cells and burning my body. That seemed like my idea of fun last time, you know, shooting under the scorching sun and dribbling barefooted on a 100 degrees celcius cement.
Man, I was crazy. But thanks to that, I dropped like 8 kgs! I created my own bball team for girls when I was in Form 4. Our teachers were very skeptical about us, saying stuff like we would never win so why wanna waste time and all that bullshit. What happened to dedicated teachers?
But I stood strong (che wah!) and didn't care much. It doesn't matter if we don't win, all that matters is the feeling you'd get when you're in a game.
It was one of those feelings I will never forget for life. Standing in your position (judging from my height, I was never a Center. Although I could have been one cause nobody was really that tall in my team) and waiting for the whistle to blow in anticipation. I can almost feel the exhilarating feeling now. Wow. All of us would be watching the ball in the referee's hand, watching him toss the ball up, watching the Centers jump for the ball, watching the ball fly. And when you're on the court, the outside world really seems to disappear. Everything revolves around the person holding the ball now and every player is as important as the best player in the team.
I played as Shooting Guard and Point Guard for the two years in the team. Out of all the games we played in MSSD, we only won once. Only once. But it didn't matter. In a game, it really doesn't matter if you win or not. All I knew was all of us tried our best and we enjoyed the games; that's all I really cared.
Last time, I was quite self-centered. Don't mind the bragging but I was the best in the team and I thought I was the most important one. I guess I was wrong cause we lost that game. Then I learned to open my eyes and looked into everyone. Damn, everyone is good! Everyone is as important! bball taught me so many things. Understand or not? The feeling of working as a team? ARGH understand!!!!???
Right, I should stop now. It's really boring you ain't it?
Indulge in some pictures!
2004 (I was number 10)
More bball pictures here. (might be a lil' laggy)
Now that I can never experience what I once did, all I can hope for is that my girls will learn from all that we've been through. (macam bapa/ibu ayam only call them my girls)
I hope all of them will learn that being individualistic in a game won't get them far, I hope they will learn to forgive their team mates and although they might be enemies outside the court, be good friends when you're on the court.
Nobody will ever have any idea how proud I felt(still feeling it) when I see you girls play now. I'm so glad I didn't back down after discouraged by the teachers.
And I will never forget this line, quoted by one of my girls.
"You might not be the best now and we might have out-skilled you, but all of us know and will always remember who you are and what you once taught us. Our Captain, Liew Suet Li," (damn dramatic I know but this is really what she said!)
Remember, girls.
One for all, all for one. Without a team, you are nothing.
Feeling damn emo.

I am so cool I don't even know how cool is cool.
I watched Harry Porter yesterday! I am now deemed 'COOL' by eleven-year-olds.
I didn't set high expectations, so I liked it.
I sat 4th row from front and my neck is still working fine =)
I'm very angry at today's parents. Who, in the right set of mind, will bring their kids to watch movies till 1.15 a.m? Hah?! I'm so enraged! I want to write to the papers! Bring this issue to light! Tell the whole world!
Kids are meant to sleep by nine! NINE!
And the movie was quite violent in some parts somemore you dare to bring your kids there! Why you all never read the 'Book of Parenting' one is it? Why you never go 'Kursus Perkahwinan' one is it?!
Tsk. Tsk. Because of all those kids, we had to sit so front =(
Because of all those kids, our ears were deafened by unnecessary laughter =(
Why laugh at so un-funny parts? Need not elaborate much here cause those parts were so un-funny and trivial I can't remember them anymore. (Actually cause memory too lousy)
Anyway, I should have learned my lesson after the Willy Wonka movie; these kids will do ANYTHING to watch their 'cool' movies.
Next time, buy pirated DVDs. Cheap and good. Can watch at home and if suddenly feel hungry/sleepy/horny, can pause anytime =D
