Earth Hour

In conjunction with Earth Hour, I'm typing in green. Hahaha. So anyway, did y'all switch off for it? I remember asking some of my friends if they were offing off for Earth Hour. Lol.

I am proud to say that I did switch off for Earth Hour =D Initially, I didn't plan to b'cos I thought that my family wouldn't. But the day before 28th March, Mum was like, "Tomorrow we light candles around the house, OK?" And I'm like, "For what? Earth Hour?" And she was nodding so fervently like it was a given that our family would be supporting Earth Hour. Haha. When I told Jo, he was like, "Dad can survive Earth Hour meh?" Lol.

So, Earth Hour is like some kinda large-scale event to promote awareness on climate change. Everyone thinks that the environment is deteriorating b'cos we humans are doing activities which are detrimental to the surroundings. But I am here to tell all of you that planet Earth is dying not b'cos of deforestation, ozone depletion, etc. It is, in fact, b'cos of this boy below:


Yes, this boy with that inconspicuous, innocent smile is Earth's NO. 1 ENEMY! Hahaha. Why, you ask? It is b'cos my dear brother, Josiah Hoi has a terrible habit of keeping the electricity on in every single room he leaves. And he never realizes it! Everytime I see one of the rooms in the house with the lights and fan on and no one inside, I just know it's his fault. Earth Hour has not helped to raise his awareness one bit. Lol. He still repeats his habit. Oh well... Here's to hoping that he'll break the habit XD

HAPPY SWEET SIXTEEN, LYN! =D

Monday, 23 March 2009

Hi! Lol. I know you guys hate me lah. I'm really inconsistent with my posts. Anyway, after many complaints from YP, Nette, Lil, Soon Chia... I have decided to update my blog. But I don't actually have a lot to blog about.

Let's see. The March holidays are just over. What did you do for that one week? I can't believe the holidays are over so quickly lah. It's like the holidays just come and go. So anyway, last Monday I sat for my first ever music theory examination. I sat for the Grade 5 paper. To Jessica, YP and Nette, I am proud to say that I think I did well and possibly no wrongs! Haha. I know you guys (especially Nette) think that I suck at theory and I'll most probably fail but I worked hard so I expect to do well. Hehe. I wish normal exams were like music exams. Or rather, were like Grade 5 music exams. Haha. I'll bet Grade 8 exams are way harder. You see, there aren't as many topics. Just transposition, melody composition, scales, terms... But school exams! Aiseh man. 2 years, 10 subjects, an average of 10 topics for every subject for every year. So that equals to... Um. I dunno lah. I can't count wan. Lol. But basically a lot lah. Anyway, I sat for my paper at SMK Seafield in Subang Jaya. The exam was in the hall which was really nice and big and air-conditioned. =D I sat in the middle row, 7th table from the front. I took about an hour and 15 minutes to finish the paper, and spent another 15 minutes dozen-checking. Left the hall and then waited about 10 minutes for Mum to come. Hehe. Selepas itu, I went to GTK for the "Sex & Sensibility" Seminar. I had a lot of fun there. Then I went to Nette's house after that.

Didn't do much for the next few days. On Thursday leh, I went to Aeon JJ with the three and Beverlea and Christina. Watched "Street Fighter" and "Dragonball: Evolution". Spent the whole day there lah.

On Saturday night, went out with Mervy, Melody and Jo to Aeon JJ - again. Haha. Mervy drove there! Hehe. I survived the journey there and back. =] We watched "Dragonball: Evolution" cause there was nothing else that we could watch. And Mervy told me that Wei Shern lost his ring in the garbage in Adelaide. I am so not surprised. If any one of us were to lose the ring, either Shern or Jon would've been the first. Hahaha. But thank God he found it back lah. If not, I think it's better if he remains in Aussie and not return to Malaysia for awhile. Lol.

So school reopened today. Assembly was unbearably long, as usual. They gave away many trophies today. But none to me. Hahaha. The trophies were prizes for participants of a few competitions, such as "Memasak Pengantin" and "Menghias Kek". Forgive me if the competition names are wrong, but that's what I heard lah. Lol.

Oh, oh! And we got our SPM angka giliran today. Mine is BA029A003, and Jessica, YP and Nette are 017, 032 and 025 respectively. Yoh, they sit damn far from me loh. I'm like separated from them. Sigh. Now, if only YP was called Apple. Hmmm. XD

Alright lah. I think I blog long enough lah hor? The next time I get more complaints again, then I'll update again lah. Haha. Tata!

I'm s-s-s-sorry. I'm s-s-s-sorry. I didn't mean to not update. I didn't mean to not update. (Sing to the tune of Will.I.Am's Heartbreaker.) Haha!

I know my blog is really dead. But I can explain. You see, I have a whole lot of drafts. Just uploaded pics with no text. So I am actually blogging. I just don't post them up. 'Cos I keep procrastinating so all those would-be posts are just waiting for me to edit 'em and post 'em up. I'll take my time lah. Haha. I'm much freer now.

And do you know why??? B'cos debate's off my list of worries. Now I just have drama, IU Day and others to worry about. Lol. Although it feels weird, not being under so much stress. I know, that's really strange, innit? Feeling that way? But I function better under stress - I guess. Haha. It's nice to have something to worry about. I'm just too bored if I have nothing on my hands.

So today the DP (disciplinary teacher) was talking about fights happening in MGS =O I'm really not sure if this is a girls' school anymore. Haha. But it would be cool to see girls pulling each other's hair and shrieking like banshees at the assembly area. Lol. Anyway, the DP said that penalty marks (40, to be exact) will be given to anyone who commits "sentuhan fizikal". In all seriousness, she used those words. Haha. It just doesn't sound serious. If that was the case, then me, Jessica, Nette and YP should totally be given penalty marks 'cos we hit each other everyday. Lol. This might happen:

Amanda: Cikgu, dia pukul saya.

DP: Kenapa?

Nette: Cikgu, dia cuba ambil lebih daripada satu nugget. Saya hanya bawa 10.

Haha. Sigh. I'm so lame lah. It's depressing =( But the above scenario is completely possible. Lol. 'Cos Nette is super protective with her food. Hehe. She's not selfish tho. I'm sure she's actually a very generous person XD

Ah, another thing has come to mind! Haha. I was just looking at the pic at Nette's house where she's resting her leg on my head. And it reminded me of something that happened today. The four of us were at the Physics lab, doing Add Maths h/w. And we only had one book to share. That book was mine. Haha. It went like this:

Amanda: *Copying question from MY book*

Nette: I need the book! *Takes the book*

Jessica: *Copying the question*

Nette: I need the book! *Raises hand to take the book buthen stops* Jessica, you copying ah?

Jessica: *Forehead creased in deep concentration, nods once*

Nette: Oh... OK OK. You copy first.

SERIOUSLY!!! Nette can bully me but can't bully Jessica. And it's MY book! Haha. Yoh. Then I popiah loh. Lol. But I've always been the one that kena bullied. Although among the four of us, I'm the eldest, but I'm kind of like the baby. 'Cos I'm the most naive, most gullible, basically most dumb lah. Haha. I guess I can't help it. *Shrugs* X] But those three are still lovable idiots. Lol.

OK lah. Bev asked me if I'm not busy with work. Really, that's just like saying, "Don't you have anything to do?" Haha! I should go and study (I'll end up not studying wan lah). G'bye~

CNY @ Nette's

On Saturday, went to Nette's house for her CNY open house. The road leading up to the guard house was super congested. Took me such a long time to arrive. And when I did, everyone else was already there. So anyway, here are the pics. I'm really too lazy to put captions adi. Suffice to say, I had a lot of fun being "anti-social". Haha.
































Hold your breath, people!
The photo that you have all been waiting for.
Nette, forgive me XD

Lil, Nette, Eireen

Happy Birthday, Mum!

Yesterday night, we celebrated Mum's b'day at Hajime KL. (One thing about my family is that whenever there are any special events, we almost always have Japanese food. Haha.) The initial plan was to enjoy a buffet at Jogoya in Starhill, but that place was fully booked, so we settled for Hajime instead.

Mum and dad
Ko, me, Jo
Ko and I

Once we arrived at Hajime, we quickly started browsing through the menu and placing our orders b'cos I was so hungry! I didn't eat the whole day so I could stuff myself at the buffet, but tragedy of tragedies, we ended up somewhere else. Haha.

Salmon sashimi
Cold green tea soba
Soft shell crab maki
Karaage or fried chicken topped with spicy sauce
Unagi and cheese maki
Prawn tempura and avocado maki
Fried oysters wrapped in bread
Grilled mackerel
Salmon roll

Chawanmushi or steamed egg custard

Prawn maki topped with avocado and unagi
Garlic fried rice

Mum enjoying her chawanmushi

Then Jo took some random photos. Lol.




After that, we went to Mid Valley Megamall to catch a late-night screening of "Ip Man". Such an awesome show wei. Loads better than Jet Li's "Fearless". Haha. The movie ended about 1am, then we left for home.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MUM!
