.:: i See DoTS::.

Mood: I know I should be freaked out cos PMR is 14 days away... But Im fine, aside from the fact that i cant eat all the delicious food around me.

14 days to PMR.

I keep repeating that to myself everyday, subtracting a day for each one that passes.

Expecting my fear to jump into action soon.

But somehow, my "fear" gene is failing me.

Eventhough that is what I totally need right now to boost me up from "relax & holiday" mode to "study-like-mad" mode. At the very least, I hoped to have switched to "cram-info" mode, but its hopeless.

And the day before yesterday... it turns out that the RED mark on my neck wasn't a mosquito bite...

It wasn't even an insect bite.

Just when I thought I've escaped from my sister's "chicken pox" virus after recovering from that fever last week, I was wrong. Turns out the RED mark was a chicken pox.

No wonder I was feeling dizzy and heaty in school. I still can't immagine how I did my "pra-PMR".

Anyways, here are my not-so-good results for TRIALS:
6A1B

BM: P1 28/40 + P2 91/100 = 85%
BI: P1 37/40 + P2 43/50 +P3 10/10 = 90%
Science: P1 34/40 + P2 56/60 = 90%
KH: 90%
Maths: P1 40/40 + P2 53/60 = 93%
History: 83%
Geography: 78%

and for that "PRA PMR"
still 6A1B

BM: 78%
BI: 98%
History: 98%
Maths: 90%
Science: 88%
KH: 83%
Geography: 86%

Notice the kinda freaky fact that I always have at least a pair of matching marks...
(reminds me of having Amiboshi and Suboshi like in the Seiryuu Seven... I want Suzaku Seven!!)

So tomorrow, it's NO SCHOOL for me. Normally, this is where someone would scream, "YAY!", but I love going to school... So I'm kinda sad.

Owh yea... I've watched CAT RETURNS.
The reason it reminds me so much of Spirited Away is because its produced by Studio Ghibli, same as Spirited Away... (If I remember correctly... that is)


Also, I've noticed how cute TACKEY (TAKIZAWA HIDEAKI) is while watching him sing in Music Station today. (They say it's live but today's broadcast was actually somewhat in August) Tackey is from Tackey & Tsubasa, a famous band.



After during a little "research" on Wikipedia, was amazed to find that Tackey & Tsubasa was a group from Johnny's Jimusho. It's the first time I've heard of J.Jimusho as well.


Apparently, all the great J-Pop guy bands are from there too.


This includes my favourite V6, ARASHI, TOKIO, KAT-TUN...
Even Hey!Say!7 and Kis-My-FtII!! (okay, they sounded okay on Music Station)

Johnny's Jimusho is a talent agency that was established by Kitagawa Johnny and his sister Mary back in the early 60's. It has dominated the Japanese boy band market ever since. Just about all the top male groups on Japanese television today are members of this stable. Most of them not only dominated the music industry, they are also known for appearing everywhere from dramas to TV commercials.

Johnny's Jr. consists of young boys, probably around early teens, being "trained" to sing and dance. When they reach a certain age they move on to debut as part of a group, duo, trio or even solo. Most "juniors-in-training" end up being back up dancers for their seniors who already debuted. The Juniors are divided into groups with leaders. Takizawa Hideaki, Imai Tsubasa and Kimura Takuya are some examples of past Johnny's Jr. leaders. The current junior leader is Yabu Kota.

Didn't see that coming...


Well... Have to get back to work after sleeping the whole day... I know someone who'll spit fire on me if I don't... XP

but one last "GYAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" to Tackey!

*ahem*

.:: FiRe ::.

Mood: Kinda bored, sitting around doing nothing.

Since I had nothing better to do, I drew a picture. I decided to place her in my new novel that I'm planning to write soon enough. Maybe after PMR Trials. Okay fine. After PMR.

Owh yea. One more thing to be happy about... My article came out in the STAR OTAKUZONE. Kinda happy, mainly cos... BLACK CAT's picture is there! Yay ^^
Also on [THIS] page.



Got my hair cut today... My fringe looks... Horrible. Guess I just have to wait till it grows again. And the post tittle's FIRE because I've been stuck singing that song since morning. It's really nice.

Romaji Lyrics   Translation

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   
   
Kusubutteta mune ni nage irero fire!!
Chiheisen e kokoro tobasu nda
   throw in the fire into the smoked heart
I'll throw my feeling to the equator
   
Kara mawari no kimochi o keri agetara
Saki ni iku ze Tsugi no furontia
   after kicking up the feeling that has been running in circles
we'll go to the next frontier before you
   
Kanau sa Kanau Hakkaten wa mou sugu da ze
Dekiru Dekiru sa Bakuhatsu shite miseru nda
Burn up'n go!!
   come true, it'll come true the point of ignition is right there
it's possible, it can be done I'll show that I can explode
burn up'n go!!
   
Gomibako o tobi koeta saki ni aru mirai
Hikari o matotte get a fire power!!
Giragira to moe agare Hitomi no chikara
Kesenai yuuki de get a fire power!!
Michi ga michiteru furontia e
Hashiri tsuzukeru nda "Kimi o tsurete"
   the future that's beyond the trash can
gather the light and get a fire power!!
burn up,  the power of the eyes
with the unstoppable courage get a fire power!!
to the frontier full of roads
I continue to run "taking you along"
   
Housoku nante hatsumei surya ii ndaro?
Jibun katte mo tama ni hitsuyou sa
rules can just be invented, right?
selfishness is needed sometimes
   
Iu koto kike!! Nige dashita kunaru my heart!!
Hitori datte yara nakyanannai ze
   listen to me!!  my heart that wants to run away!!
there are things that must be done alone
   
Doko kara Doko e Toki wa nagareteku ndarou?
Wakaru Wakaru sa Gimon wa yamanai kedo ne
Get up'n go!!
   from where and to where does time flow?
know, we'll know although the questions will never end
get up'n go!!
   
Kaidan o kake noboru saki ni aru jidai
Takamaru kodou de get a fire power!!
Giragira to teri kaese Hadashi no taiyou
Makenai atsusa de get a fire power!!
Michi ga michiteru furontia e
Hashiri tsuzukeru nda "Kimi o tsurete"
   the time that's beyond the stairs
with the excited heartbeat get a fire power!!
shine back, the barefooted sun
with a greater hotness get a fire power!!
to the frontier full of roads
I continue to run "taking you along"
   
Gomibako o tobi koeta saki ni aru mirai
Hikari o matotte get a fire power!!
Giragira to moe agare Hitomi no chikara
Kesenai yuuki de get a fire power!!
Michi ga michiteru furontia e
Hashiri tsuzukeru nda "Kimi o tsurete"
   the future that's beyond the trash can
gather the light and get a fire power!!
burn up,  the power of the eyes
with the unstoppable courage get a fire power!!
to the frontier full of roads
I continue to run "taking you along"

Owh yea... almost forgot. Something came dropping in for me today...



Yup, it's the last Harry Potter Book! I read that people had to wake up at 5.15am just to get this in KL... I'm feeling luckier by the second...

Going to start reading now. XP

SPOILER!! Harry Potter doesn't die in the end. It's a lie.

.::RePoRT CaRD DaY ::.

Mood: Kinda happy considering the fact that it rained today.

The tittle says it all. Its REPORT CARD DAY. For some reason, some people are usually scared when this day comes.

Not me.

Mainly because my parents usually don't turn up. Usually. But today, Dad was free, so he decided to come after all.

I'm still not feeling scared though.

First period was English. Pn Wong BB turned up unexpectedly. She was supposed to be on some course till next week. But still, we didn't study because:

1. Muslims (96% of my class and school) had their Solat Hajat

2. It was Report Card Day.

So the non-muslims gathered at the TMK Lab. (It's a computer lab)

Went through the net and stuff like that. Email mainly.

Later, it was PJ. And the Muslims had just finished their prayers. So me and Gaaya went to play netball. (Originally wanted to play badminton but I forgot to bring racket...)

After a nice game of netball, (4:0) we went to the hall to see whether there was any extra rackets.

A lot of people were playing in the hall, though. Faqar and Zulhilmi were nice enough to lend us their rackets. So we played till Dad arrived.

And then, it was time to leave after hearing the nice comments my teacher told my dad. I'm still dead embarassed by the fact that I got only 26th in the whole form. Imagine, 9th in class. My results are horrible this time. Have to work on that. Mainly because I only had 2 days to study everything thanks to Parlimentary Debate. But those are just excuses.

What made me really happy was, just as I entered my house, it started RAINING. I just love rain. It speaks to me. If you listen closely enough, you can hear the soothing song it sings.

So mainly spent the whole day lazing around the house, since it was a Friday. (Actually I took a nap, till 6pm) Then I played Fire Emblem on GBA. The support conversations are really nice.

Finally, I continued a bit more of Miracles Happen. (It's a novel I'm working on.)

Its been ages since I last wrote in it.

After being satisfied with the current chapter, I printed out some song lyrics and the piano sheet for KONOYA NO UTA- SAYA'S SONG from BLACK CAT. It's surprisingly easy to play.

Mum took us all for supper at ALIF. I think I saw Arif there... XP

Then, it was a nice, warm bath before being tucked in my soft, comfy bed. the lyrics of SOBAKASU (Freckles) from RUROUNI KENSHIN were playing endlessly in my head the whole night through. Oh crap, forgot that there's open book test tomorrow! Oops!

.:: a FRiDaY 2 RMB ::.

Mood: A bit exhausted after finishing stacks of homework that has accumulated on my desk. Explains why I haven't been blogging. This post was supposed to be published on 6th July 2007.

Today, I had to go re-bind my folio... Many sarcastic thanks to my teacher, who utterly spoilt it by exposing it to the hot rays of the sun by putting it at the back of the car. Imagine, the comb was straight when I got it back! And because of that, I was late for school. (I'm rarely late)

So anyway, everyone is expecting the students from Eltham College to arrive anytime soon. They're from Australia and are on a trip. They just visited Taman Negara and our school's their last stop in Malaysia. After doing some last minute adjustments to my folio, I handed it to my friends to help me hand it in later. (Thanks, Wen Jun and Rusydah!!) Then, went straight to the hall where we had prepared an exhibition of traditional items.

For those of you who don't know, that's what a gamelan looks like. (the two thingy in front)

There were a lot of traditional games as well, some that I miss playing... Like congkak, batu seremban... and another game that I didn't know of. Then sepak takraw guys were playing at the back of the hall, including Hisyam. Amalen was stuck on one of the tables playing some game that used bottle caps. (I forgot the name for that one)

Priya, Nantini and Thanusha were practicing the Indian traditional dance after the form 2 girls did the Chinese traditional dance which used fans and umbrellas. (I can't believe Pri can flip the fan with her left hand and I can't!)

Anyway, I was supposed to go to bilik Al-Hikmah and take part in the welcoming of the students, but Azreeza placed me in the hall. Oh well... at least Pri and Thanu are here.

At last, around 9 something, they arrived. They went into the bilik Al-Hikmah. Around 10.30am, they came over to the hall. The tour was canceled due to lack of time. After watching the tradisional dances, I got to know Sarah. She's really friendly ^^

Okay, this is embarassing, but I took her to the wrong canteen. Haha... They were having it at the asrama canteen and I took her to the school canteen instead. Well, at least I didn't take her to a wrong school... XP Anyway, we had lunch at the girl's asrama. I didn't feel much like eating, after eating biscuits... XP I had a nice cup of teh tarik instead.

We all went round asking for emails and taking pictures. It was really enjoyable.

After that, we had time to go on a tour around the school after all. We went to Husna's class and then walked pass all the form 3 classes. You should see the response of the guys in my class. XP

After all that, we gathered at the sulop. We took a lot of pictures here.

Me and Sarah ^^

Group Picture + Pn Azora


Group Picture!!

We said our farewells... We all followed them until the bus! Haha... Hope to meet all of you again!

Mood: *swtdrop-ing*

[13-14 June 2007]
Well, guess the pictures do tell a million words.
After 1 day after being told...

I set out to Lipis. Miss Wai drove us all the way there.
And on our way, we passed by a lot of cows and trees and possibly, some unseen monkeys.
There was also a squirrel. The reason this is all I can say is because, that's all I saw along the way.

Might sound a bit insulting, but the roads there were VERY ULU.
We reached there around 5pm and had to go register at PPD Lipis.

The whole place was like a huge maze. Luckily, we had a couple to drive us there.

We took a twin single bedroom at Centrepoint.





We had to walk quite far just to find a chinese restaurant. And the only restaurant that was open, had only one miserable chicken sitting inside.

Apparently, all the chinese shops close earlier than 5pm. Great news.

After doing some shopping at a so-called "pasaraya" we went back to the room. I had to practice a few times. By 7pm, everyone was tucked into bed with pyjamas.


I slept at 10pm after sitting 3 hours in bed, watching some weird shows on the TV. I mean, who would actually do a documentary show about gays and lesbians...? And who's face is so thick to actually WANT to be interviewed as a lesbian / gay...?

Woke up around 6 am in the morning. Swallows can be seen flying outside the windows. (a mass amount, at that.)

Anyway, arrived at the hall of SMK Clifford safely. This is the 1st competition I attended that actually started without any LONG speeches. I like it.

I was the 9th participant and after called, I went up to deliver my speech, "Hakuna Matata"
Don't ask.

After the short break, we were quarantined in the room. I got to meet a lot of the public speakers there. Everyone was so friendly and we were engrossed in chatting, it felt like a long time before I had to go up on stage.

I told my teacher before the competition. "if they give a tittle that had something to do with Malaysia, I'm just going to tell the lady to disqualify me."

And as luck would have it, it DID have something to do with Malaysia.
"If you were the Chief Minister of a state, what would you do to make Visit MALAYSIA 2007 a success in your state?"

I wanted to faint. And the irritating part was, the lady in front of me wouldn't stop announcing how many minutes I have left. I mean, I know I only have 4 minutes!!

I crapped whatever I could on stage.

And... I kinda unbelievably won.

My mum was like, "Who was the one moaning about not wanting to go...?"

Anyway, reached home around 5pm. Was dead tired. Folios, homework and many more were awaiting me the next day.

[20 June 2007]
So, anyway, today I missed school because I wasn't feeling well... I am so dead tomorrow. Don't know which DUMMY went and told teacher I'm for sure to have stomach ache.

Oh well.

.::: AHH!!! PuBLiC SPeaKiNG!! ::.

Mood: Feel damn panicked... Public Speaking competition is THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW!! Otherwise, calmly happy.

Grandma got her new TV today. I got my Mid Year exam marks. I did really badly...

BI- Unknown
MM- 90% (P1: 40/40 P2:50/60)

SEJ- 84%

Gosh, I know... Horrible.

Anyway, toiled on fixing some errors in my SEJ folio (Many thnx 2 Jonathan, Firdaus, Sie Theng, Gaayathri, Priya and Chew Yee for the completion of this FOLIO!!), but managed to finish it in a while... My GEO folio is still under construction, Pn Siti Samiah's not here! Ah.



Pn Wong and Miss Wai had to break the lovely news that on Wednesday, we have to go to Kuala Lipis for PUBLIC SPEAKING. OMG!! Under such short notice, the only thing I can do is FIND MY SCRIPT! Oh crap! Why...?

Well... now that I've FINALLY FOUND IT... Time to start memorizing... Haiz. Wish me luck, minna~
