Hols....

Hols have started!!....that is a really long time ago. Yes i know, I'm very slow when it comes to updating my blog. Well i have a good and reasonable explanation that can be expressed with a single word: busy. Very busy in fact. I have ELEVATE camp and practices coming soon, trials that await me in January 2010 and i am suppose to spend time with my family and friends. It may not seem like a lot to you but for me, it feels crazy. I guess its because everything just shoots at me in one go and piles up. For examplae, yesterday i was studying economics and then i received a email on camp pracs. So i rushed to the computer and starting preparing. Then suddenly something came up in the midst of preparing and economics echoing through my head. It knocked me out of focus and into a valley clouded with confusion. After a while, i finally got my head straight and went to bed. ;)

Today, i woke up and went back to preparing for camp pracs. It took me about half a day to listen to all the songs. After that, i went out for a game of badminton with my cousin to let out some stress and wake up myself. Ate dinner, came back and felt the need to play the guitar. So i decided to attempt to figure out the solo from the song Belief (Acoustic version) by John Mayer. Boy it was not easy. Kept listening over and over and eventually i managed to figure most of it. Could have studied but didn't feel like doing so :P

Oh man, Jeremy just sent another songlist. ARGHHHHHHH!!! Okay, no time to waste. Will be back whenever!

Sigh....my phone is spoiled. It can't read my SIM card at all!! At the moment, i am using an old Motorola V600. It has a few problens but its good enough to use temporarily.

The worst part of not having my sony ericsson is that i can't play my music!! Sigh...:(

October, 2009 (Longest Post Ever)

Hey there!! So sorry for the late update. Been busy due to loadz of homework assigned out by Mr. Tan =_=

Anyway, yes. 23rd Oct was my birthday. I am officially 14 years old=) The first celebration occurred at school. It all started when Mr. Tan was teaching us matrices in Maths class. Then suddenly, the lights went off and Graham was standing by the controls. At first, i thought he was playing a prank on the class cuz he's the jester of the school. But I immediately knew my assumption was wrong when everyone looked at the door and then turned their faces with a smile to the corner where i was sitting. Then, they started singing the world's most popular song and there was Crystal walking towards me with a gorgeous, delicious- looking cake. At that moment, i felt really happy and grateful towards all my good friends and my irreplaceable sister who have gone through hoops to make me feel so special on that day. Before i blew the candles, Khiing (who has always been like a brother to me) interrupted saying, "One more time!" Unexpectedly, another cake came through the door and the class sang once again!! The second cake looked like a miniature version of the first one! Finally, i blew off the candles and cut both cakes;) After that, Hern Ah Cai reached into his bag revealing a present from the whole class. Guess what? It was a original Tropicana Life wallet! Just what i needed! Speaking of Hern Ah Cai, today is his birthday!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY HERN AH CAI!!;) All was going well till Mr. Tan gave us a bomb of maths homework. Sigh =_=

When i got back from school, i went up to my grandmother's house for dinner. She had cooked my favourite dishes. YUM!! After dinner, we had desert. Guess what? Cake again. Although i got sick of cake, (cuz there were many birthdays this month-10 to be exact) i appreciated the fact that my family gathered to celebrate my 14th birthday.

The next day, i went to church for DBS (Bible study). Unfortunately, Sarah couldn't come due to falling sick. Later on, i met up with Siu Fai and he gave me a Hillsongs United CD (Across the Earth) as a birthday present. Wow! Another gift!^^ Hooray!! Haha. Oh, and that Saturday happened to be Frank's birthday. And then the next day (Sunday) was Pastor Foo's birthday. SO MANY BIRTHDAYS IN THE MONTH OF OCTOBER!!

By the way, my dad bought me an awesome camera for me birthday!! A Canon Powershot G11!!! It has 10 mega pixels and is almost as good as a SLR. Its small and has many awesome effects. Thanks dad!=)

Anyway, i would like to thank my family and friends for everything they have done for me. I really appreciate you all. Thanks!!;)







The irreplaceable sister:)


Well, I'm not sure what Crystal here is trying to do
but it seems she is "fanning" the cake. =/

All the way from Australia, we had relatives over. There was Aunt Lin, Uncle Phil and Uncle Yong Chai, and two little, adorable cousins Ethan and Christian. Over the past week, we had loadz of good food eating at packed restaurants and recently, we brought them to Mid Valley for some real shopping. Later on at the mall, both families bought one another gifts and i got an awesome Nike t-shirt!! Thanks Aunt Lin!!^^

Anyways, here are some photos. *cheers*

music is like a highway of pleasure that goes on and on.....

Also, there's a link to their official website where you can watch their music videos, read their blog and check out lots more stuff. Enjoy!!!;)

Mr.Tan's 55th birthday...

If you were wondering, Mr. Tan is my school teacher. He is an awesome and funny teacher who threw himself a party inviting all his students, relatives and friends to celebrate his 55th birthday at Lynn's cafe. All of us had good food at the price of zero cents and had a fun time hanging out (well mostly at the end). While Mr. Tan was busy taking care of his guests, we youngsters got our grub, sat down and started talking crap. And soon enough, cameras went flashing as some of us wanted to remember that day and others, well...let's just say they were bored ;) enjoy the photos!


Graham's humongous head...


the Tan family...well, not exactly all of them were there.


the intelligent, awesome students!;)


failed jump-shot...




success!!:)


the students with the teachers...cheese!!!

What happened on Friday...

Friday was a happy and, at the same time, a sad moment. You'd probably want to know the good news first therefore i shall start with it. The good news is that Crystal Chin got older!! Yay! Serkarang boleh panggilan dia aunty Crystal! Hahaha...yea i know my malay is terrible. Anyway, we celebrated with a tasteless cake and the giving of awesome gifts like humongous shades and a tablecloth fedora. Oh, and we (the october people) got delicious, minty cupcakes made by Jenna.

Now moving on to the not-so-good news. It all started when i received a sms from Khiing. It said that Tania and Natallie were leaving the school. So fast!!! They joined in like a month ago and now they are already gone. Time sure flies like a bullet from a gun. Sigh...thus, the school gathered at KFC to say our last words to the two sisters. I have to say, they were really nice people and it was a pity i did not take the time to know them better.

To Natallie and Tania: Continue to have faith in God and all the best to you guys! ^^

Finished!!

Woohooooo!! My trials are OVER!!! Finally, after weeks of hard studying and sitting for pressurizing exams, i have more time in my hands and less stress in my head. However, the depressing part will come after the Raya Hols-discussing about our failures. sigh...oh well, you learn more from failures right! lol.

Yesterday, Jon called me to a jam session with the Loud 2009 team. Then when i left the house, teet-teet, you have an sms: jamming session cancelled, drummer in Vietnam and rockgod can't make it. Ended up going out for nothing. "=_= But on the bright side, i went to Loh Tau rich(Papa rich) and boy do they have good, hot food. *yum!*

Okay, gotta go to school now. ciao sin.

HAHAHA!!!

For laughs...




cikgu: Esok cikgu nak semua pakai topeng muka ya!
Sekarang virus H1N1 makin merebak!

students: Baik cikgu!

the next day...
students: Selamat pagi cikgu!

THE END

Woohoo!! i passed my mathematics exam!! Although, i was only approximately ten marks away from failure i am still proud of my achievement. For today's classes, we pretty much used up the entire day to go through the math paper's questions. Yet, i felt extremely tired during class.=/

After school, i went to shoot some hoops hoping to entertain myself. However, still i felt tired and bored. As an hour passed by, Graham came along. He invited to a one-on-one match and i accepted the challenge. To be honest, for a while
the game was getting no where cuz the both of us were-as Graham would say- "Boh Lat"(which means no energy in Hokkien). Eventually, the game ended as i scored the winning point. The score was 6(me)-2(Graham). However, its a duce cuz Graham trashed me in a game of ping-pong. Now the only event left is badminton. Wish me luck!;)

Finally updated!

Hey there! Yes i know that i have completely ignore my blog for the past few months and loadz of people wonder when will i update. Well, your wait is over! "For i have come back to life!!" said by the weirdo in the dress below.

(Btw, this show is highly recommended for those who seek to laugh like there's no tommorow.=P)

Anyway, for the past few weeks i've been studying and sitting for my trials at the center. And boy can i tell you how nervous and stress i was for the first english paper. I was just staring into space hoping a train of ideas would hit me in the head. Well, that didn't work out so i just wrote whatever i could think of till the very last minute. However, for the other papers, i felt there was room for improvement and all that matters is that i did my best and am persevering to do even better next time.

Fortunately, my trials for this week ended yesterday. That means i can relax today and wine down a bit.=)
*cheers*

Shots that spells the word 'beautiful'....
