2. (my question) What is your greatest fear...?
Not being able to be myself.

3.What place do you want to go the most?
Japan and the world in my dreams. Oops, that makes two places.
But, still i'd love to be at home.

Both, depends on what food is served... =P

The ability to believe in myself.

 Depends. If he has sumone he already likes, I won't because then he'll be burdened by my feelings for him. For me, if I love someone, I should be happy as long as he's happy, eventhough it might hurt me. That's my definition of love I guess...?

Mood: Am missing the rain now.

I don't know why, but recently it hasn't rained heavily at all. It's always ONLY drizzling. This is, without a doubt affecting me. Half the time, I'm feeling moody today, maybe because of insufficient sleep yesterday.

I'm rushing like mad to complete history notes, yet I am calm. I seriously don't know what's wrong. Today, 2 shocking things happened.

1stly, MGSS won the choir comp. MGSS! Omg! I thought it'd be either SABS or Alor Akar, but owh well.
And for CHORAL SPEAKING... SK ST Thomas won. 2nd place was SK ASSUNTA. How'd that even happen...? The judge even SAID that 1st place and 2nd place were equally good... What's up with that...?

Anyway, today I saw Ezmeer, Shafiq and Nik who came for choir. They look so funny in that purplish pink tie... A shining one, at that. No offence if you're reading this! =P Ezmeer's face went red like a tomato... He was THAT nervous even after coming down. I toyed with his handphone a bit and talked before going back to class.

CHoral Speaking practice was just... I don't know anymore. I keep getting a bad feeling, but let's brush that aside for now. I hope we'll win this one for SABS... I can't wait to meet everyone from SMART at the competition though.

Scrabble... Well, nothing much I can say for now. It seems a little futile, just hoping things will look up soon. Sorry, if I don't make it to nationals, everyone... I guess this time, it's out of my hands. I'm missing all of you so much... And I really hope we get to meet at nationals. I'll just have to try my extreme best. And when we do make it to KL, we're going to hang out, rite? ='> Guess I'll be looking forward to that to cheer me up a little.

Gosh! Dammit, why won't it rain?  =( 
I miss u, rain. Hopefully it'll be a downpour tomorrow, then perhaps this foul mood of mine will be washed away. I'm kinda sad as it is, but there's no explanation to it. Screw the person who said everything comes with a reason. Maybe I just need to sleep. I think I'll take one of my 'all-cure' naps. =)

Of course, LUNCH has to come first... =D

.:: SaLuT D'aMouR - aTaSHi No MeLoDY::.

Mood: Sleepy... Drowsy... But feel the urge to be blogging, so here's today's post.

Unfortunaletly, I don't have enough time to do a complete review on La Corda D'oro / Kin-iro No Corda ~Primmo Passo~, but I'll definitely do it this weekend.

Samantha transferred to SABS today... I was happy to see a fellow 'ex-Smartian' at last, but she got 4sc2. Oh well, better than being a whole building away in 4sc4. When I saw her 1st, I was like so over-joyed. I missed her and my other friends sooo much... Then, a bit later after completing my bio peka (which I forgot to do) I felt a small pang of sadness... Dunno why, maybe cause Sam reminded me of my beloved SMART-ians and how nice it was to be around them...

I read Dell's blog and I just couldn't help remembering that Monday. 31st March 2008. I went to school after Mum told me I got the transfer. At first, I was still thinking about it, a bit reluctant, but I know it was a path I already chose... then i went to bio lab... Cikgu Syazwani was there, teaching and I entered with my bag and everyone was like, "hah!  Qian Wen lewat!" And only Wen Jun and Ann Bee were sitting at our table, Chewy and Dell came much later. Then, I told teacher I was going to move and said I needed my PEKA file... then Ummaira heard and sorta said it out loud in disbelief... I was sorta near tears and finally burst when Ann Bee and Wen Jun started crying. And then only Dell and Chewy came. We finally calmed down awhile after talking a bit, made jokes and stuff.

Then after that, Faqar said something really nice and I burst out into tears again... Omg, come to think of it, I must've cried enough to fill a pond that day. Then Hisyam, Zulhilmi, Syahrul, Firdhaus and Afiq scolded Faqar... Pity him =P They made stupid jokes, asked me to remember all the periods for Chem, Bio and Phy and asked me to stand at the basketball court and wave to them during those periods. It was really funny. And they asked me to cheer for them on Fridays during PJ by standing at the corner of SABS.

After that, I went to look for Sabrina and Priya. I think Priya was kinda mad for not telling her sooner... And Sabrina was immediately in tears. I remembered Ezmeer's 'muka sedih' when Nik told him I was leaving and he was like, "Player 1..." I didn't even tell Taufiq and Amalen come to think of it... i just left.

And then, the hardest was telling Gaaya... She was in Chem lab and she technically burst into tears and we were hugging... God, I miss my her so much... Best of frens forever, Gaaya! She was the one who made me run for 400m and I actually won something because of that. I miss her so much right now.

I practically spent the rest of the day looking for teachers, Pn Wan Aminizan was like so sad, but she said, "you have to take care of yourself first..." And I was crying. She gave me back my 1B Exam paper and wrote 'I'm gonna miss you' on top. Then, I went back to class to bid my farewell to my beloved table and spent my last moments in SMART there.

Guess I can't help but remember all of this when I saw Samantha here. To all the Smart-ians reading this blog, I miss all of you so much and i'm definitely coming for SMART Niaga. And I'm gonna miss softball practice... SMART, you have to win MSSM this year ^^

But as it is, I'm beginning to like SABS... Guess all I needed was just some time to get used to it... But sometimes, when I walk past places where I can see SMART, I can't help but stare at the place where so many memories were made. I guess it's just hard to let go... I was so happy to see Ezmeer, Nad, Hidayah and Hani when they walked past SABS today after choral speaking practice. I wonder when we'll be able to meet again... Guess I have to work harder to go to scrabble nationals.

Owh yea, the post tittle's Salut d'amour because that song has been stuck in my head since this morning. It's the last song all the Stella Quintet played for Hino Kahoko in the last episode, a classical piece. Its truly beautiful. Thanks to this anime, I'm listening to classical music now. Thus, the great influence of anime in my life. If I could get a hold of the piano sheet for this piece, I would definitely play it for all my friends in SMART. I miss you tons.

I feel really lucky to have all of you as my friends. You even told me to make new friends here so I wouldn't be lonely. And Sabrina, what you did was ever-so-sweet. I just can't stop feeling lucky. Hope you get well soon from your chicken pox. We still need to go for outing after Mid Year, right...? Haha =P

However, I have to say, SABS has its good points. I am making new friends and I was able to join choral speaking and debate and scrabble after all. I guess I'm starting to like this school, possibly as much as I loved SMART.

Owh yea, based on the song 'salut d'amour' the opening song of La Corda, "BRAND NEW BREEZE' by Kanon was made and also OVERTURE by Stella Quintet. Will elaborate on lyrics next time. I recommend everyone to download the song 'Ashita No Melody' by Tsuchiura, Tsukimori and Shimizu. It's reaaaallly Cute!~

Mood: Tired and a little sad (miss my frens) after coming back from IU Night.

For public speaking, this time I ended up second. I knew this day was going to come. The 1st place goes to Sandhya and I'm kinda glad. Public Speaking IS fun, but because of the impromptu, it has always felt like some sort of burden to me, knowing that my general knowledge is horribly poor. And I'd really like to say THANKS to all my friends who were actualli worried about me ending up second. I thought that I was dissapointing everyone, but I guess that's not it.

Anyway, the tittle's Brand New Breeze because:

1. Its the opening song for the anime Kin-iro No Corda ~Primmo Passo~ (also known as La Corda D'oro ~Primmo Passso~ It's a spectacular anime, I'll review later.

2. A BRAND NEW BREEZE is blowing inside of me. I'm gonna go back to square one for everything; studies, the piano which i long stopped learning, the violin (influence of Kin-iro No Corda) and maybe, JUST MAYBE general knowledge. I think it wouldn't kill me to know a little more about the world.

I went for IU Night. It's some sort of charity dinner the Interact Club of SABS holds every year, kinda like SMART Niaga tradition. Firstly, I was feeling VERY LOST because I didn't know that many people there, but it was fairly enjoyable in the end. It was kinda boring at some parts because of the organization, but I guess nothing's perfect. There was some breakdance performances which were kinda good too. And they even invited Racken Force which is supposed to be a popular dance group... I dunno, guess I don't care much about these things.

And...

I FINALLY found the handphone USB wire and so here are pictures!!

Chee Wei's bday ^^

Gaaya & Me (Best Frens forever!)

Firdaus & Me... =.= I'm shorter also... haiz.

Sabri & me ^^ Gonna miss u!!


My bunny ^^ She doesn't have a name yet, so let's call her bunny for now.
Obvious traits: LOVES to EAT and go under the sofa.


Me and Gaaya. This was taken at Shaun's house during his birthday.


Hisyam and Me ^^ This was my last day in SMART. *sniff*

Me and Faqar ='> Also taken on my last day after Chemistry. This was taken when we were both on tip-toes because I refused to accept the fact that he's taller than me. Its just not fair, he was shorter than me in Form 2! =.=

Me & Toh (IU Night) This was taken in the toilet because that was the only place where there was bright light.

Toh, Me, Carmen and Racken Force. I don't really know what Racken Force is famous for, but owh well...

Me & Shafiq ^^ He came for IU Night too ^^

Carmen & Me

Toh & Me again~

In conclusion, it was a tiring night. I also watched the Jet Li and Jackie Chan movie in the afternoon. It was kinda funny. =P

Will elaborate more on La Corda in my next post!~

And thanks again to everyone who've supported me until now. Thank you so much for being such awesome friends!~

.:: HaJiMaRi No KaZe Yo ::.

Mood: Trying my best not to feel saddened at the fact that my treasured friends are a school away.

Yup, as all of you MIGHT HAVE or MIGHT NOT have noticed / known, I have transferred to SABS two days ago... *NOTE: SABS is just OPPOSITE SMART. Reason? I'm gonna be taking EXTRA art stream subjects, mainly economics and accounts. SMART doesn't offer. This would probably total up to 13/14 subjects...

I also got back all my 1B exam results...
8A1s and 1B3
BM -> 73% (B3)
ENG -> 83% (A1)
PHYSICS ->83% (A1)
MOD. MATHS -> 94% (A1)
ADD. MATHS -> 88% (A1)
CHEMISTRY ->88% (A1)
HISTORY -> 87% (A1)
BIOLOGY -> 81 % (A1)
MORAL -> 81% (A1)

NOTICE that I have 3 pairs of matching marks. A NEW record. XP

Anyway, before leaving the school, I cried a lot...
The main point is... I miss all my friends. I can't believe that I'm already in a different school, eventhough it was a decision I had acknowledged and made... Tears still come when I think about all the good times I had in SMART.

Today, we had the sports practice thingy in SABS... I got dragged into the yellow house, but I guess I will be a WAJA (blue) member forever... after all, blue has always been my colour... But when they were doing the sports events, I remembered about SMART's sports day. The 400m and 4X400m race was already full, so i didnt get any chance to join... Gaaya, I'm sorry, I guess next year I probably won't be able to run for Waja after all... I almost cried when i thought about it. And I guess this year was d last time I'll be able to laugh at the funny mascot acts WAJA and KEMBARA always pull off. I guess this is what I'll call EX-SCHOOL-SICKNESS. Haha... =P

To all my scrabble frens, I apologise if we can't meet up later on... It's a new school and all, but i'll still try my best 2 get to the nationals. I seriously miss everyone.

And above everything else, I apologise to all my friends in SMART for not saying anything... I wasn't really sure that I was gonna move, so i couldn't say anything... But trust me, it was a tough decision to make. A lot of contemplating and tears. But I hope you guys will understand. And above all that, thanks for still being such great friends. I love all of you ^^

Well, I guess that's it... The post tittle's Hajimari No Kaze because whenever I was feeling sad or depressed, or even slight regret, the Winds of Beginning blows into my face, saying, "It's alright." This is a path I chose and I won't live on regretting it. =)

.:: SWaN LaKe...? Nope! XP ::.

Mood: a bit tired after the concert practice.

For those of you wondering, "what's with this random Swan Lake post tittle?", the reason is because, its only a few days away from the ballet concert my ballet school is having this 29th March. Everyone is a part of it and I'll be dancing two dances, one solo and another with my partner.

I have finished my february test and I'm kinda happy for getting A1s for all d new subjects. (Physics = 84, Biology = 87, Chemistry = 90) For the old subjects, I'm a bit dissapointed.. but to look on the positive side, at least I didn't fail. I can't believe I only got 90 for Modern Maths and 100 for add maths... @.@ Somehow, everyone keeps saying it should be the other way round... But anyway, it doesn't matter, because i personally think add maths is easier and more fun to do... XP I know a few classmates who would definitely disagree with me on this statement.

Lets see, the elections just passed by and well... I have no comment on it... Politics was never in my list of interests after all... too complex for a happy-go-lucky soul. Haha... I did hear that the results were historical, but I much rather not pay attention to that. My advice to myself, if there's no hope for today, hope for tomorrow.

Owh yea, and I managed to get my prefect post back. Yay ^^ (All prefects retire after form 3 and re-apply for the post in Form 4) This time, Priya made it too. Finally, I won't be the only non-muslim prefect of my form ^^. I'm loving the holidays, been watching lots of anime and have updated my list from time to time. So far, I've watched Princess Princess and Harukanaru Toki No Nakade Hachiyoushou. The guardians of Byakko, Seiryuu, Genbu and Suzaku are just so cute and cool!!~ A total bishie-filled movie. Even the bad guy is "gyah!gyah!gyah!" material. My favourite character has got to be Abe No Yasuaki, the Byakko of Heaven... It's just so adorable how he says, "mondai nai" (No problem) << Amanda is now muttering his words over and over again... haha..

Last Friday (the day before elections), we had choral speaking practice. It felt kinda awkward to be teaching the team in my mum's place, but I'm glad I got my old job of being a conductor again. I miss the old days. And after this week is the long-awaited 1B Exam. To be honest, I'm a bit nervous, but my fear gene's are failing me again... I can't get freaked out enough to seriously study.

So anyway, the list of activities that I have joined so far are:
1. Public speaking
2. Sports day (4 events, 100m, 4X100m, 400m & 4X400m)
3. Spell It! (organized by RHB & NST)
4. Sofbol MSSD (as a scorer)
5. Choral Speaking

and the list of TO JOIN are:
6. Parliamentary Debate
7. Scrabble Inter-School Championship
8. ICT competition
9. ICAS (4got wad it stands for)
10. Olympiad Matematik

I'll update if I think of any more... anyway, if there's any anime you'd like to recommend, be sure to comment. Thnx!~ Blessed it be.

.:: SPoRTS DaY // aTaSHi No NaKa Ni NaGaReTe aRiGaTou, KaZe::.

Mood: Body aching all over the place. Muscles killing me... But I think I can deal with it.

Woke up around 6am this morning, which is unsual for me on a Sunday. The special reason was today is SPoRTS DaY.

Unlike every other Sports Day, this time, i was actually taking part in the running. A lot of people find this hard to believe, but owh well. Anyway, I was SUPPOSED to enter 200m and 4 X 100m and was kinda nervous because I have NEVER held a baton before. (NOTE: This was my FIRST time running in a race)

Sport's Day, like every other year since I can't recall when, was always held at Stadium Darul Makmur (The only stadium in Kuantan) This year, it has to start off a bit early because by 2.30pm another school will be using it. I reached there around 6.45am. Sabrina and Priya were already there. We waited for the rest till 7.00am before entering the stadium for registration.

This year's sport's day was a bit unique as it was the first time there were to be CHEERLEADERS for each House (also known as 'Primer' in my school). There were 4 Houses altogether, WAJA (Blue, also my House), WIRA (Yellow), KEMBARA (Red) and SATRIA (Green) It started of with the foot drills as all the uniformed units and the 4 Houses marched around the stadium. Then, the song Negaraku was sang and the prayers were read. By this time, the 1500m race had already ended. (This 1.5km race was also a new addition to this year's Sport's Day)

I was extremely nervous, but not too frightened as there was still some time before 200m and 4X100m. The teachers had already called out the 100m participants and were ready to start. They couldn't find the participant from WAJA and so I had to replace her. Luckily, Gaaya was also a participant, so I wasn't totally freaked out. When the gun was shot, all of us ran as fast as possible, but I ended up third last. It was nothing to be sad about, as I never expected winning anything in the first place. After returning from the 100m race, teachers called out for the 400m participants. I had no idea what happened to the WAJA participants from my category because this time NONE of the participants were there. Desperate to have at least someone to enter, I got dragged in by my House teacher who spotted me at once.

I reluctantly agreed, saying "Cikgu, kalau saya kalah tak apa kan, sebab takut tak larat..."

So anyway, the race began. I don't know what happened, but i WON 2nd for this race. Maybe I was better at long distances...? By the time I came back from 400m, the 200m race had already started, so I missed it. The 4 X 100m race went badly as my whole team ended up last. Then for 4 X 400m, I ended up PARTICIPATING as well... and we GOT 3rd!! So, at the end of the day, I managed to get 2 medals, one silver and bronze. Yay ^^

And that wasn't it... Apparently, I had strained my muscles and had to face an aching life for two whole days. Trust me, it was painful... But I guess, it was worth it... ^^ Looking forward to becoming scorers for SOFTBALL this whole week. (26/2 TUESDAY - 29/2 FRIDAY) And there's ST John exam this SUNDAY. That's something to be looking forward to... @.@

The tittle of this post means, thanks for always flowing in me, Wind.
