2010 is pretty productive so far

Many things had happened. And yeah, I'm really happy.
No, I did not get a boyfriend (FML) but eh more things had happened.

First thing's first, I joined the Student Council. If you're wondering what's a Student Council, it's like a group of students in different year groups to help improve the school or host/create events.
So whoever wanted to join had to write and read a speech; why you want to be a councillor, what would you do to help/contribute to the school, etc etc.

Initially there were only 2 students in my year group who joined. After a wonderful speech made by our deputy principle a day before the elections, a total of 18 students quickly wrote their speeches overnight (including me of course). I think our deputy principle has some kind of magic way of making people feel like shit. So the next day, all of the candidates were freaking out.

Since assembly was the last period, we candidates were all rehearsing and panicking.
In the end, we all got our speeches in front of the Y9's, and heck my legs were shaking. I know I'm a major loser lah ok. But at least I had the guts to actually go up. *grin*
After 18 speeches were done, all students were required to vote for 4 people, by ballots. So it's anonymous. But everyone kept going WHO YOU VOTING FOR WHO YOU VOTING FOR VOTE FOR ME PLZPLZPLZ YOU VOTE FOR ME I VOTE FOR YOU K.

Results are coming out tomorrow, so hey fingers crossed! Even if I might not win, hey it was a thrill (lol nerd talk) and at least I've tried.


I've been busy with schoolwork - surprising for someone like me. I remember the good times where I'd get caned by my mother because I lied about not doing my homework. I swear, I would bawl my eyes out, then never ever want to come out of my room. I couldn't lock my room up as in my old house the lock was broken so no privacy. Anyone could just barge in and see things they don't want to see eg. me sleeping while my drool forms a pool on the ground.

Uh. Why am I talking about locks? And me drooling on the ground WTS.


Baaaack to the topic nao.
Other than school, I went to meet my old friend, Amanda.
She had been one of my good friends since Primary 2, and yeah we used to 'stick' together (tee-hee inside joke).
She went to Australia 2 years ago, and yeah we decided to meet up and hey! We had a pretty retarded time.

I remember the time where we went bowling and my ball rolled backwards. Extremely retarded can.
More memories, but it's reserved for our minds only! Ya know more inside jokes (tee-hee wtf lol)

Also, I learned how to do some basic makeup at Shu Uemura in 1 Utama.
Mom got me a basic makeup set, and the lady taught me (also done the makeup on me + fake eyelashes fml fake eyelashes feel like they're gonna come out fts fts).

My mom wants me to girl up; and yeah wants me to learn makeup so I can hide my horrible future crow's feet and wrinkles.
I know 14 (going on 15) is a little late age for girling up, since I should've been drawing makeup on my face when I was 8, but that never happened. I was pretty much a man when I was little.
A very fat little kid man HAHAH NICOLE KID MAN OMG I'M SO FUNNY not really.

UHHHHH OKAY. I'm getting hyper/lame/retarded.


Um, to sum this post up; pretty much I've been more active in school.
I'm.. having a life; even if I keep using the computer everyday loh fail.

What's going on with my life

Answer: Nothing much.

Pretty much everyday I've been on Facebook, Twitter, Plurk, and a few other random shit I read.
I'm getting just plain bored, to be honest; but I can't help but to actually check the few sites everyday. Even if my social life sucks, even if I barely go out, even if I barely even get notifications on Facebook. But I just can't help it.

Like everyone else who usually goes on the internet, I've been trapped into the vortex. Yeah well, to make it simple, I'm addicted.
This has lead me to my bad blinking habit. I've tried to 'stop' going on the computer for many many many times. Going on holidays did help, but only for a week or so - but you would probably find me screaming at my iPhone, searching for free WiFi so I can check my Facebook notifications.

Going on holidays helped me cure my blinking only for a certain amount of time, but after that I get addicted to the computer again and my bad blinking habit comes back FML/FTS. The worse thing is, I'm beginning to bring my laptop along with me to my holidays. That's entirely my fault and it was my choice, but yeah, yaddayadda I can't help it.

The computer, or rather the internet, has amazed me. You could spend what you feel like is 10 minutes on the computer, watching videos on YouTube or reading blogs and articles, and voila! 3 hours have passed, with you watching random stuff that includes obsession of spoons or some guy getting whacked at the balls multiple times whatsoever.

My mom always told (or rather nagged) me about getting out of the computer to do some sports; mix some people, exercise (bleh) - but it just isn't the same as last time anymore.

When my mom was a kid, she lived in a kampung. Sekinchan in Kuala Selangor, to be exact. She said she used to play basketball and had many friends. She also has 5 sisters and 2 brothers. They would play virtually everything with anything they can find; sticks, stones, guli (marbles), bags of sand whatever. They just had so much to do.

But that was then. They did not have any computers, nor technology as advanced as it is now.

If they did have computers, I bet my mom would be tricked by some online predator and I would be an orphan.

Really (but not really).

This generation had changed so much. Computers came out, laptops came out. Game consoles were the 'it' thing to have, and yes; I'm proud, or actually rather ashamed, to have fallen into the trap.

I nagged my mom to buy me the latest game consoles. If I never got it, I would probably just watch the other 'cool' people playing and just sulk to myself. I do have game consoles; the Nintendo Wii and DS, but now it's all DSis and PS3s and XBox 360s. But I'm kinda happy with what I have now, considering I barely play game consoles because I usually give up on RPG games that they always release. Fail, I know. I give up easily.

So I rely to the internet.

And so does my mom now, since she's just started using the computer. So far, she's been addicted to it. Instead of watching TV with my dad, she would be in a room, clicking away at her email or Facebook or some designer label website. I think my dad's getting annoyed as he's being left out; and since everyone is abandoning him for the internet.

Lololol @ dad.

But the internet has been many help to me, and probably to everyone else; I chatted with my old friends, reminiscing about those memories we all had. I'm even going to meet one of my old friends who moved to Australia 2 years ago (woah that's a long time), Amanda. We're gonna meet up and talk about the good times again. Definitely excited for that event!

The internet has also been great help to my mom, who now still types extremely slow; but that's not the point. She misses my brother terribly, so she frequently video calls him when he's free.

Okay, back to the topic (which is going hanky-panky right now because my mind is spacing out and I don't know what to blog about so I'm simply just gonna type)

(wtf hanky-panky?)

So basically, my daily routine;

Wake up, brush teeth etc, eat breakfast, go to school, come back from school, eat my early 'dinner', go on the computer for a while, shower, watch TV while using the computer, eat some fruits or get some juice, sleep.

It's always like that everyday, and it's just my routine I guess.

Unless if there's something to do, like drum classes or vocal class, then it's pretty much sandwiched into the routine.

So moral of the story: Get a life, like I'm trying to right now.

Schools

'Kay, so some of you know that I've been in 3 schools (excluding kindergarten) in my life so far.
One had been SJK(C) Yuk Chai, which is a government school, Sekolah Sri KDU, the private school, then now Tenby International School, the international school.

This post is about what my experiences are. And I feel like an old lady telling her grandchild a story. *facepalm*

The government school, Yuk Chai; well, I've only been there for one year. That's why my mandarin is so horribly crap and my parents pretty much say I'm a disgrace to the Chinese. But when I was in Standard 1, my english was crap too. I wasn't pretty much of a study person (I still am now), and I barely had any friends. So, I was pretty much the lousiest and antisocial student any parent wouldn't really bother about. I did have some friends, but they usually went into cliques and their own little groups. I'd usually find myself sitting alone, in the canteen, eating curry noodles. And also getting curry soup all over my face and pinafore. FML. I only joined a few friends sometimes, then I'd feel so left out because they were going on with their own stuff and talking about secret stuff. Which obviously I don't know about. So yes, I was a super antisocial poor-english poor-chinese girl.

Yes, I pity myself. You should pity my childhood too.

When I was moved to KDU after a year of antisocial-ness, KDU was still a brand-new shiny school. I dared myself to make new friends, and well; that worked, because everyone was new and never wanted to leave their parents. So in came the 'Hi, my name is Jane!' and 'What's your name?' typical child language and curiosity. So, I made so much more new friends, and I was happy. There were a bunch of us; pretty much joined at the hip and went wherever who went. Childhood games, such as 'catching' or 'Fire and Ice'. Good times, eh. We even had this game which was something like 'Animals' or something like that. I remember vaguely being the 'owner' of all the other 'animals', which were the other students. I guess I've always liked being the main bitch leader. So anyway, I had dogs, cats, horses, turtles, and any other animal you could imagine of. Seriously. I used to hold on to my friends' ID tags and treated them like leashes. We'd all go up and down the huge ramps in KDU, outside the library. All the other friends even had their animal calls ready, WTS hahaha.

Now that I mentioned it, I sound like some kind of bondage mistress who has a weird fetish for animals WTF.

This was also the stage where there were 'cooties' and 'booties' (WTF booties). Cooties came from girls, while booties came from boys. Seriously, what were we thinking about. We'd pass the 'virus' all around, so it was a game of catch.

I was a student at Sri KDU for 6 whole years. I've met new people, made new friends, had some 'I-don't-friend-you' fights, and all that. I still do miss my friends, but yeah; we've gotta move on sometimes.
Even if they probably don't miss me for my arrogance. Fail, Jane. Fail.

After 6 years of being in KDU, I guess I just got tired. I was pretty much in a mess; my marks were going down under, and my social life was going down. I just thought, 'Hey, if I moved into a new school, I'd have more new people to meet, new friends, a new start.'

Yes, I do realize it sounds super cliché, like out of a High School Musical movie, but it's true. I did meet a load of new people. I remember the first day being lost, being left out etc; but after that, it's all fine. I'm still a little antisocial now; I barely talk to people when they don't talk to me, unless if it's important/if it's an awkward moment. Also, I remembered having a hard time trying to understand the angmoh teachers' accents. I kept saying 'Sorry?' 'Excuse me?' 'Huh?'. Not really a good first impression. Also, you'd have to address teachers by 'Miss', 'Sir', 'Madam', etc. You don't go 'OI TEACHER'. Yeah, I got scolded for it once. Never attempted to do it again.

I've so far enjoyed my time at Tenby. There's always so much activity; not just sitting your ass down in class the whole day and cramming for exams. It's more carefree, and it makes me exercise HAHAHAHA not funny but it's true. According to dad, 'Going to school is much better than you sitting your butt down on the computer 24/7.'

Yeah, thanks dad. You support me oh-so-much.

Anyhow, I'd prefer international schools than others all the way. The fees are pretty outrageous sometimes, but hey; it's an international school. You learn a different syllabus; you walk around the school like a campus, and people are just more awesome there. I would say more, but hey. This post is like the most boringest ass post in the whole world. It's a block of text.

In conclusion, so far I like Tenby best. If you say that it's biased, well, you'd have to face it. It is a pretty good school. Aside from all the drama.
