The American Idol !!!

22 May 2008

Yes!! And the title of the American Idol goes to DAVID COOK!!! YAYYY!!!!

I never even knew that so many people like David Cook!! Most of the people I know has fallen for David Archuleta's cute face, namely, Rui Mei. But I only just found out that many, many people support David Cook!! Yay!! Yan Xin, E Jean, Shu Mei, Chiau Thian, Ee Leng ... And even my PE teacher!!

God. It's unbelievable. I hope he will become big. And I mean very, veryy big.

All the best to Cookie!! =P (Okay that sounded a bit ... corny??)

Oh yeah, it's too good to be true. =)

*********

Just finished watching the season finale of Gossip Girl. Which means I have finished the whole season. A bit slow, I know, thanks to the exams.

I actually waited up until 2 o'clock in the morning last night, uh, I mean, this morning, for it to finish buffering, but there was some problem with the video, and I DID have an exam, the last paper, early this morning, so I couldn't sleep too late. Like 2 o'clock isn't late enough. *yawn*

The whole season was soooo great!! Totally loved how Blair kicked the psycho bitch Georgina Sparks' ass in the last episode. Way to go, Blair!! Oh, and I love Chuck and Blair!! They were too cute. Aww. But Nate and Vanessa?? Eew. How can such a rich-ass, total hottie, everyone's dream guy (which includes me, of course) even liked someone like ... Vanessa?? *frowns* He should be with someone like Serena or Blair. Dan and Serena ... I don't really mind what happened to them in the show because they are going out in real life, and that's enough, is it not??

Now I can't wait for the Season 2 of Gossip Girl, which would be ... this fall. Fall. FALL. This fucking FALL. Do you have any idea how long that is?? Damn.

***********

Went to Tict Chyn's with Jit Nee this afternoon. We watched an horror movie!! Uhh, well, I didn't exactly watched it as I was hiding behind a cushion from the start of the movie till the end and hardly knew what happened. I just watched the movie through a tiny hole between my fingers, because, well, how obvious, because IT WAS AN HORROR MOVIE!!

Not exactly my kind of genre.

Yucks.

One More Day ....

21 May 2008

One more day, and I will officially become the unoccupied, no-studying, computer-obsessed girl I was a few weeks ago before the exams started.

Maybe not.

I'm going to be so busy during this coming holiday that I wish there are no holidays at all.

Maybe not.

First, I'm moving to my new house, and what the toot, I have so many things to clear out, but so little time. Pooo.

Second, I have tons of projects to do.

-Two uber-important projects for PMR : History and Geography. Which, of course, I have no clue on how and what to do. Oh, crap.

-The school's Science Exhibition. I know I have been droning about this thing for ages, but the date was postponed.

-An extremely hard-to-do Art group project. We have to make a 3D stage, with whatever you want on it. From a boring but romantic Romeo and Juliet play to a red-hot burlesque striptease ... Anything you want. =P

Okay. Maybe not the striptease.

Third, I have the world's most boring thing to do during the hols : CO practice. God, kill me. Just kill me. Eh, cannot. Bring me to New York for a few years, then kill me.

Fourth, I'm afraid there are no fourths.

But doesn't my holiday sound awfully awesome awful already??

Those people who get to go somewhere nice, no matter in Penang, out of Penang, out of Malaysia, out of the Earth, or out of the solar system, you can go dunk your heads into the toilet bowl right now.

************

Of all the .... what the f-fff .... *tongue-tied*

Jane. Has. The. Chance. To. Go. To. Utah. USA. During. The. End. Of. Year. Holidays.

UTAH, USA.

It's not Manhattan, New York, it's not Los Angeles, California, but IT STILL IS USA. She's going to be disgustingly close to Manhattan, and even more disgustingly close to Los Angeles. Those places I want to go. Okay, maybe not THAT close to Manhattan but still closer than where I am sitting now.

Why can't it be me?? Why can't I get such luck?? WHY??!?

And you know what?? She's going to give the chance to her annoying brother, of all people. She claims that she doesn't want to go there ALONE, as her aunt who is living there is only paying one person's expenses. (Actually I doubt it would be fun if I am alone, too)

She asked my sister and I to go with her but then with parents like mine whose idea of a holiday is to go to Cameron Highlands, do you think that we even have the chance to go to USA?? And the expenses are seriously high lor.

Damn. I wish I'm Jane.

DAMN. I wish I'm Jane.

GODDAMMIT I WISH I AM JANE!!

Okay. I am SO going to study hard and work hard, get a good career, make zillions a day, and visit New York whenever I want. Fuck that. I'm going to live in New York if I can.

(Yeah, right. Like that could ever happen, I doubt I can even "study hard and work hard" ...)

Gossip Girl Season Finale

18 May 2008

Okay. Shu Mei just got me really, really excited, because she told me that the Gossip Girl Season 1 Finale is ... what, only two or three days away in Malaysia. Whereas the Americans can watch it tomorrow. *sigh* I'd like to live in America. Really. Or anywhere else that isn't here.

UPDATE :
Just re-read my last sentence. Which got me thinking, I'm a damn, fucking lucky person to live in Malaysia, where there are no earthquakes, volcanoes and those natural disasters. Reading the newspaper (I know, unlikely for someone like me, but yeah, I did) made me feel so lucky that I'm living here. Plus there are really nice food in Malaysia. =P

But I can't help it. Malaysia just lack a lot of things you can find in other countries. Firstly, a nice, clean public toilet. I know, not all of them are dirty and not all of the ones in other countries are clean, but most of them. I know we all are the ones to blame, so ... uhh. Secondly, we can't watch a lot of movies and stuff in the cinemas just because for a little bit of violence, sex, drugs, et cetera. Why can't Malaysians think like the ... who, Americans, Europeans, I don't know who?? Like, the more access to those "taboo subjects" (only in Malaysia), the more unlikely that they will abuse it."

Blah blah blah.


Watched the trailers for the finale!! Looked, like Shu Mei said, INTENSE. Yup. And interesting.

I also watched the Season 2 promo, looks even more interesting than the Season 1 finale. Ohh. As always, just typically Gossip Girl, there's going to be more ... criss-crossing. I'm not exactly sure, but from what I interpreted from the video ...

Serena not with Dan.
Blair, not with Chuck nor Nate.
Nate not with Vanessa.
Nate, maybe with Serena.
Jenny, still in the dustbin.
Vanessa, off to hell with her platform boots.

Don't get me wrong. Like I said before I don't hate the actresses, I just hate the characters.

*******



Blake Lively and Penn Badgley are going out in real life!! Such a cute, cute couple.

They even went away to an exotic, gorgeous beach somewhere to spend time together!! Soooo sweet.

*******

And, oh God, the new Gossip Girl books are coming out in May, and it IS May now!! Wheee!!

*******

Of course, there's also the American Idol finale, soon. Okay, I changed my mind, if the judges really have to narrow it down to one winner (well, of course they have to, that's an obvious MUST), I hope that it will be David Cook.

But then David Archuleta has so many teenager fans, especially girls, and who watches American Idol the most?? Teenagers. So who's going to vote the most?? Teenagers, duh.

No offense though, I like David Archuleta too!! So it won't be a bad thing if he wins.

Unlike how Saleisha won over Chantal in America's Next Top Model Cycle 9. That was a bad thing all right. No. Wait. It wasn't. It still IS a bad thing. That Jaslene and Natasha got into the top two and not Renee made me pissed like hell too. Renee was totally the best!! Arrrgh.

David C or David A??

16 May 2008



I AM ALIVE!!!


(Bet you missed me and my big nose, right??? =P)

I know lah, six days only what.

After suffering for so many days, eight or nine days in fact, staying back at school from 7 o'clock in the morning until 7 o'clock at night, and days of sleeping at 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning and waking up around 2 or 3 hours later at 6 o'clock, miraculously, I'm still alive.

Yes, it was all for the stupid exams.

Heh. I have no doubt that I am going to pass with flying colors get lousy results for a few (understatement) subjects, namely : MATHS and CHINESE.

Errrgh.

******************

Anyway.

Who, who, whooo to win American Idol??

David Cook or David Archuleta??

Seriously, I'm torn between the two!! I don't know, they're both different in many ways, and I like both. I always had to sought out one perfect, favorite person from shows like these, but this time, I just can't.

Okay, maybe I like David Cook just a little, teensy, tiny bit more than David Archuleta. David Cook's voice is more ... manly, very strong, yet sometimes so ... gentle and soft, and I don't know, I just like it a bit more than David A's voice. I like the way he sings, and the "high note at the end of the song" too!! And he's cute. Not as cute as David A but still cute, in an older guy way.

David Archuleta, the oh-so-cute guy with the oh-so-cute smile ... I like his voice (and his face =P), too. Very strong too, but in a completely different way from David C. David A's voice is ... younger. Yep. And full of emotion, which is perfect. And his smile is, oh my God. You'd think I'm crazy but yeah, it made me feel like screaming, because he is just too ... cute.

Damn. Can there be two American Idols??

Losing Concentration

10 May 2008

Understatement of the entire universe.

I already LOST concentration. That my mother always watches her addictive Korean dramas while I am studying is not exactly helping.

T_T

What to do, what to do?? I already finished my History but then I suddenly realised that I don't really remember what I studied. I tell myself not to care but apparently my brain doesn't listen to me anymore and now, I'm sort of flipping through the books again. Like I actually have the time to do so.

Sigh. I am so gonna give up on my Geography. Or KH.

But then, my brain doesn't listen to me anymore, does it?

So pretty, are they not?? Love the bottom one. Hilary Duff has it!! Damn, sometimes I wish I am a celebrity.

I still remember the day I saw the advertisement in one of the magazines I bought!! 29 of March. One stupid yet important yet stupid day.

Exams on Monday. Oh. My. God.

Let's see how many things I have yet to study.

(I know lah, why not just ditch this post and just continue studying?? But I don't want to study. I don't I don't I don't.)

1. Geography (Form 1, Form 2 & Form 3)
2. Kemahiran Hidup (Form 1, Form 2 & Form 3)
3. Science (Form 1 & Form 2)
4. WHAT. THE. *TOOT*.

Feek Feek Feek Feek.

OMG, there's Maths too. Maths. Locus. Translation. Transformation. Algebra. Index notations. Oh, gosh.

Found a few random photos!


I miss the cruise oh soooo much.

Sweet, sweet memories. Can't wait to go on the cruise again. But probably not so soon. Sigh.




I miss Ee Leng and Singapore oh soooo much.

Love this photo although my hair was a wreck and the sunset a bit weird.

Can't wait to see Ee Leng again!! But probably not until the end of the year. Awww. )=

Feek. Have to go study.

5 May 2008

I feel soooo tired.

Haven't finished studying the Sarawak and Sabah chapters for the freaking exam. Only 6 days and what do I have?? Thousands of useless crap I have to memorize for the exams. And then, after the exams, every single thing will be forgotten.

Bahh. I don't even see the point of studying these crap. Like hello, why the hell are we studying about Japan??? JAPAN?? Do we live in Japan?? NO. Are we Japanese?? NO. Like studying about our own country isn't boring enough already. NO. Like studying for our STATE and STATE alone isn't enough to kill already.

**************

Anyway, I collected two pieces of evidence about something today and in the past few days. What else can I say?? I'm as miserable as a mushroom. Sighhh .... I can't even not think about the fucking thing. It's even harder than memorizing all those boring stuff for History. It kept popping up into my mind at all the wrong moments. Eep.

T___T

Fine. Forget it. Sighhh.

***************

Today is the day the Form 2 Traffic Wardens "promote". Don't have much to say, except that a) I can't get used to them wearing ties, b) I don't really want to get used to them wearing ties and c) I really despise people with pink, rosy faces!! More like, jealous, because, it's soooo cute okay!!

Quite happy during the meeting, because .... for my own reason. *shhh* =P

After the meeting, attempted to study, but failed miserably. How?? How can I even study when I have that "two pieces of evidence" to mull over about?? )=

Later, I had a date with Bad Luck, and she caused me to lose my tag. Couldn't find it anywhere. Actually, I already knew it got loose ages ago, but I just couldn't be bothered to do anything about it, so, this loss was entirely of my own fault.

I wouldn't even realize that it fell off if Jing Wen didn't tell me. Poooo.

Looked around everywhere, but I couldn't find the stupid piece of junk anywhere. Sighhh. Bad luck lah.

After a while, I had to climb up to Jing Wen's class again SIGH SIGH SIGH. But couldn't help it, got to borrow the Form 2 History text book to study read as a good bedtime story. And she wanted to return me my project. Actually I don't really mind going to her class .... for my own reason. *shhh* =P

I saw "The Lame Person Who Sat Beside Me On Saturday" a.k.a Shi Yin!!

(Actually I don't know how to spell her name)

=__________=

Aherm. She was so freaking funny last Saturday!! I don't know what she kept laughing about, but whenever I turned to face her she will laugh, laugh and laugh. Then I will start to laugh, too. Talk about an influential laugh!! I don't even know what I was laughing at, laughing at her laughing or laughing at ... whatever. I don't know.

And she kept poking me. POKE. With her fingers, with the musical instrument, et cetera. So stupid ... xD

Sort of regretted that I talked to her in the first place. But I pitied her, she was all alone, and she was sitting beside me, so, why not?? So I asked her where her friend was. Then the laughing and poking and whatever began. She said that I was "The Vain/Self-Loving Grandma" (translated to Chinese) and DEAF.

She's very cuteeee!! Aherm. Even Jit Nee, of all people agreed on that, among many other people. She has deeeeep dimples!! And she sort of has a chubby and pink (ARRGH) face. So cute, so it's hard to be irritated and annoyed by all her laughs and pokes.

=_=

Anyway. Piece of evidence found at almost the same time I was at my friend's class.

****************

Highlight of the Day :

Crystal was absent. Mwahahaha. xD

No, just kidding. We all missed Crystal like shit!! Which is a lie, by the way.

Today, while we were in the Science Lab, Pui Sin told Rui Mei, Jun Wei & I creepy and eerie ghost stories. *shudders* And then, when Pui Sin got to the most exciting, scariest part (and I mean it, the scariest part, where people say in grim whispers : "Never do this, or else you will be ......"), Jun Wei suddenly screamed, causing Pui Sin to scream as well, and I don't know whether Rui Mei screamed or not, but I know that the both of us jumped hard in our seats.

How can we not?? We were like, so engrossed in the story, and our hearts were beating fast, and suddenly she SCREAMED??? Just like a creepy story.

I was trying to find out what caused Jun Wei to scream, was it because the story was too scary or what?? Then I finally found out that, because Hui Jing was sitting at the side, and suddenly the Malay lab assistant walked past Hui Jing, and she jumped. She accidentally hit Jun Wei on the arm, and at the same time Jun Wei saw the lab assistant (the dark skin and the darker side of the room only made it creepier), and the story was at the most creepy part, so she screamed loudly.

If it was you, when you were getting to the most exciting part, someone suddenly hit you on the arm, and a dark-skinned person walked past, what will you think?? :P

Couldn't stop laughing after that, it was so funny!! The lab assistant turned over to look at us with raised eyebrows, and the whole class was staring at us weirdly.

Gosh. Jun Wei frightened me to death, really she did. You'd think that it was some kind of scary sound effect for the story. Or that something REALLY did happen to Jun Wei. Eeerrrgh.

=P

Anyway. Have to go to bed. And I think I have a lot of undone homework, but, sigh, don't care. Don't care. Burn the two pieces of evidence.

I miss you!! So many freaking days already. ):

Freaky Friday

2 May 2008

Freaky Friday, indeed.

I was lucky enough to got hit by Jun Fang's strong, violent, MONSTER balls. Uh, I mean, netball balls. Not ... balls. Aherrm. Yuck.

First time, she hit me straight on my mouth and my front teeth. Yowwch. Second time, when I was trying to grab the ball, it hit me somewhere around my forehead. Ahhhh.

Gosh. Jun Fang, she really shows her ... aggressive side while playing netball or basketball. Especially netball. A few weeks ago, the ball hit Jit Nee on the nose, and because she was wearing specs, she got a tiny wound on the bridge of her nose. And today, she narrowly missed everyone a few inches. Not only once, but like, two or three times for each of us.

=_=

Talk about a dangerous girl.

********

It was so freaking .... freaky just now. I was at the fourth floor, at my friend's classroom, when I accidentally saw HER downstairs at the ground floor. Her and her pastel pink blouse and hideous skirt. Oh, and of course, her I-am-so-cool walking style. Like hello. She's far, far, farrr from the word cool. Uggh.

At least she wasn't wearing disgusting gold drop earrings like she was last time. And a pale cream blouse with huge shoulder pads and a pink (a bit of neon pink, really, which made it even worse), very long skirt, almost to her ankles, with ugly white patterns all over it. E-E-W.

I told Jit Nee I was scared that SHE would come upstairs, because, yeah, we weren't even allowed to look for our friends in the afternoon session. Crazy huh?? I PREDICTED that she would come.

My prediction came true. Ho ho ho. If only I can say something which will come true as well. Hmm. Maybe I will give it a try.

I'm going to become a freaking billionaire like Paris Hilton tomorrow.

I'm going to wake up as a lucky, happy and healthy girl starting from tomorrow morning.

Okay. If it does come true, I will tell you.

Anyway. Lucky we didn't got caught by HER. And such a narrow escape, my friend told me that SHE walked past their class just after we went downstairs. Phew. Or we definitely would have been caught by her. Pffft.

************

I'm sooooo miserable now. (Okay lah, just a BIT)

First, I didn't study. Second, she (not the pink blouse 'SHE') is driving me insane. Arrrgh. What IS on her mind?? I'm going to turn into peanuts if I don't find out soon. But on second thought, I might feel .... small and stupid once I found out. Maybe I'm just being paranoid again. Yes. That's probably it. Suspicions.

Okay, I might just have another wish to make.

I want to read her mind. End of story.

Third thing to make me so miserable, I didn't study. Fourth thing, I didn't study. Blah.

***********

Two must-watch videos (if you haven't watched it already, that is) :

David Cook from American Idol singing The Music of the Night from the movie The Phantom of the Opera. It was totally .... indescribable. Just watch. But a little bit off-key at first. Just a little, little teeny wee bit. Love his voice, really. It can get so deep, and ... manly at one moment, and the other it can become totally soft and mesmerizing. *mushrooms in my eyes*



And another one, is of Natasha Bedingfield performing A Pocketful of Sunshine on American Idol. God, she sings way, wayyy better live compared to records, unlike most of the other singers, who sucked live. Her voice and vocals are so STRONG ... I never realised it until I saw this video ....

And it was so cute how she hugged David Archuleta!!! =P



THE END

(WTF. How come even random posts like these can get so long?? T_T)
