End of October
29 October 2011
It has been a long month, and I have been lazy again. If I didn't happen to see my roomie updating HER blog, I wouldn't even be here right now. But I am, because the guilt for neglecting my blog has kicked in, at last. Took me long enough. Haha.
A great bunch of things have been happening recently, and sad to say, they were mostly unfortunate events. I lost my phone, almost lost my laptop (I know right!!!), got a new phone, sat for SAT and TOEFL, got the results, attended the Fright Night Halloween party, went through the Great Bad Luck week ... list goes ever on and on.
Haha. Yes, you read that right. I lost my just acquired-in-March Vivaz Pro phone. I'm just this slightest bit upset over it; to be honest, I feel more furious than anything else. Because I accidentally dropped the phone on the LAST bus specially arranged for us Taylor's Lakeside students (only us) who live in Casa Subang, and the next day, it was gone. Sorry I sort of suck at summarizing a long story. So just pretend you actually understood what I'm trying to say.
It's pretty obvious the bus driver stole it since my friend was the last one to exit the bus that day, meaning, no other passenger could have possibly taken it, but what the hell, I can't prove it. And I'm not going to. Even though I want to. But it's impossible so I'm gonna let it go. It's a very long story which infuriates me, and ... why dwell on things of the past? Let it go.
Anyway, I'll be uploading a few photos of the Fright Night and some other exciting - well, more exciting anyway - events in the past few weeks.
FRIGHT NIGHT ♥
The weather that night was pretty frightening. Stormy, rainy weather. I was wet before I even reached school. Haha. Admission ticket was a whopping RM40 when I could have sneaked in, gratis. The RM40 was for the buffet dinner, which was pretty bloody awesome. Not. But I'm trying to convince myself it was, because I wouldn't want myself to think that I've wasted the money for nothing. Hahaha.
Performance by the Theater students. To be frank, I didn't get the performance. Because I was distracted, and wasn't really watching. :P
Someone's really adorable (fine, it's not) headgear-hairband. Haha.
And here we are!! Hahaha.
We weren't exactly IN COSTUME, since I wouldn't call those genuine costumes, like, say, a Snow White costume. Haha.
Abee was, obviously, a hot devil.
Ah Bank, was a Chinese ghost-like clown from the front and Frankenstein from the back. Pretty damned creative, if you ask me. And she was wearing our school Chemistry lab coat HAHAHA. Talk about fully utilizing what our sponsors supplied us!
Ching Yee was the stare-at-you-with-big-eyes-during-midnight little girl ghost. Haha. Not very convincing right, she just looks more ... well, normal, like she's going shopping! Still nice though! :)
And I, was supposed to be a dark angel. I didn't have a halo, and my wings couldn't be seen. Talk about a ... um, fallen? dark angel. MAJOR FAIL! :P
My tutu-like skirt and gorgeous black shoes!
I know we don't look scary haha.
Neh, my wings! :D
With Wen Jin and her skinny long legs! Haha.
Some of my favorite photos from the night :
Borrowed Abee's devil stick for a bit and played around with it. Hahhaha.
I ♥ these two photos a lot!!
Right, go stalk me on Facebook if you wanna see the rest of the (decent-looking or acceptable) photos. Haha.
Deepavali ♥
Sheena kindly invited us to her abode in Kajang for Deepavali. Was a really interesting trip, despite the fact that I was sick the whole day before Deepavali and couldn't take part in the prayers to Sheena's ancestors, and I couldn't eat all those glorious, mouthwatering Indian curries and traditional murukus or snacks (!!!!!!). Sigh. I feel so bad. Not for myself, but for Sheena's family. An extra sick person in the house! During their New Year!
Anyway we took the KTM commuter to Kajang, and boy it was a hell of a terrible trip. For me, at least. Firstly something was wrong with that particular commuter, it was very stuffy and warm inside. Also, there weren't any seats, and I was feeling especially dizzy and nauseous at that moment, so I threw aside all my concerns for my reputation (ha-ha, right), and squatted down on the floor like a bloody drunk or drug addict. Awesome. Hahah. I suffered that way through around 11 stops. Am I hardy or what?
Sheena helping Ching Yee put on her Punjabi suit. HAHAHA. Yes, we wore the traditional Indian costume! Thanks a lot Sheena and sister for lending us those suits!
Next time, I'm gonna wear a sari. Whooopee.
These were taken on the morning of Deepavali. Candles all lighted up! I am not entirely sure why they light up the candles, though. A tradition, yes, but why? Didn't occur to me to ask at the time. Too excited to be wearing a Punjabi suit! :)
Sheena looked absolutely gorgeous that day! Dangly earrings, makeup, new clothes! Everyone should look awesome during New Year, haha.
Even toddlers deck out in their very best (albeit not on their own accord, I suppose)! SO ADORABLE RIGHT? He was wearing a ring and a necklace! :P
Hahaha now you can see us more clearly. We look pretty great, right? Right. XD
Surprisingly I looked pretty Indian. Kind of. Ching Yee too! Ah Bank, not so much. Perhaps she's too fair. Not that our skin tones are all that dark, but ... I don't know. If you manage to figure it out then tell me!
Sheena's awesome family!!
Went for a walk around Sheena's residential area. Quite a pleasant neighborhood, as far as neighborhoods go. They have the standard playgrounds, a very precipitous, grassy green slope to play and camwhore at, huge trees, and not that many strays roaming around (the same cannot be said for where I am living now), et cetera.
I LOVE THIS PHOTO!! Hahaha there's this very ... olden-day feel to it (well, duh, it's greyscale), I think it's probably due to Ah Bank's funny Hang Tuah headgear (cunningly created from the scarf that went with the suit) and the stick she was holding, LOL.
I look like a bloody parrot (you know, the fish! Wait, that's blood parrot right okay I shall shut up now). I meant, pirate. Haha. Sorry. Being lame.
Look how steep it is! And green! LOVED IT! Haven't been anywhere really green recently. Welcome to Subang Jaya, the horribly urbanized, congested, polluted, (insert negative adjective here) city in which I'm living. Poo.
Okay. End of this post. Obviously a lot more interesting things happened but I cannot post everything all in one entry right? Right.
Haha. In case you are curious, my SAT scores weren't awesome. In fact, they were quite ... well. Exceeded my expectations, definitely, but in a bad way. LOL. Who says exceed expectations has to be exceed in a positive or increasing way? HAHAHA. I suppose my scores weren't BAD, but I was expecting far better scores (like in my practice tests). Oh well. Sigh. I feel like retaking the test even though it's pointless. But ... sheesh. What happened to not dwelling on the past then? Let it go. Haha.
My TOEFL scores, on the other hand, were pretty great. Not great great, like 115/120 great (I have a friend who got 120/120 BLOODY HELL and her SAT marks were 2380/2400 DOUBLE BLOODY HELL), but it wasn't awful. I'm quite satisfied and pleased with the results, since I was totally expecting to retake the test next year as I thought I screwed up. Turns out I only screwed up my Listening and Speaking section! Phew.
No expectations, no heartache. :)
Goodnight!
