Its just psychological.
The way you think.
The way you see things.
Netball just now...
I was proud of myself.
The problem is just I have to maintain.
Now that everyone have seen the standard that I can do.
It's wasy to begin, it's hard to continue.
Go on with that fighting spirit everytime. And even put it when I am studying.
I have to go out to the ball...towards it, not back down.
One step at a time. One improvement at once.
But I still feel that I have no power to push myself...like for dodgings. I dont think it's an ease to dodge. My stamina is also super low. Then just now training I felt kind of dizzy, dunno why. I was panting hard. I liked my defending just now too. Must keep that up. Must keep that up. At least now I ran in front of my opponent. Keep her out of the line. Must remember that. Feel the spirit. DEFEND!

She told me to come home b4 6.30 cos my uncle invited me to come for SITI NUR HALIZA's CONCERT!!! from London's Royal Albert Hall to Singapore.

I nudged my cousin," Eh, Taufik lah...taufik lah..." and my cuz asked " really? oh ya its him!" a man came up to TAufik, shook his hand and took a pic of him using his handphone.

SO i turned up my volume ,"taufik". and i waved but by that time, he was in the car so i waved but it was too dark to see if he waved back. But watevar....I SAW TAUFIK kay...finally..my turn CHARLENE!..haha. Then, my elder cousin's back was facing the ongoing scene and she did not see Taufik. She was holding her own camera phone.

Sebelah mata pun hamba tak terkilan
Cenderawasih burung kayangan
Tuanku putih kilau keemasan
Adumu bercadarkan pintalan gemawan
Tidur hamba beralas reranting hutan
Tak hamba terkelindan sayap dipatahkan
Tak hamba terkilan telur hamba dipecahkan
Hamba akur dengan suratan
Hamba akur dengan kehendak Tuhan
Hamba akur berketurunan bermandi hinaan
Cenderawasih burung kayangan
Tuanku putih kilau keemasan
Kau pinta didodoikan rintikan hujan
Ku mampu rintih senandung kedukaan
Aduhai cenderawasih pintamu keterlaluan
Kau inginkan hamba kalungkan bulan
Kau kepinginkan kerabu dari bintang berkerdipan
Kau dambakan rantai untaian buih lautan

TRUST
Trust is a very important factor for all relationships. When trust is broken, it is the end of the relationship. Lack of trust leads to suspicion, suspicion generates anger, anger causes enmity and enmity may result in separation. A telephone operator told me that one day she received a phone call. She answered, "Public Utilities Board." There was silence. She repeated, "PUB." There was still no answer. When she was going to cut off the line, she heard a lady's voice, "Oh, so this is PUB. Sorry, I got the number from my Husband's pocket but I do not know whose number it is." Without mutual trust, just imagine what will happen to the couple if the telephone operator answered with just "Hello" instead of "PUB".
NO POINTING FINGERS
A man asked his father-in-law, "Many people praised you for a successful marriage. Could you please share with me your secret?" The father-in-law answered in a smile, "Never criticise your wife for her shortcomings or when she does something wrong. Always bear in mind that because of her shortcomings and weaknesses, she could not find a better husband than you." We all look forward to being loved and respected. Many people are afraid of losing face. Generally, when a person makes a mistake, he would look around to find a scapegoat to point the finger at. This is the start of a war. We should always remember that when we point one finger at a person, the other four fingers are pointing at ourselves. If we forgive others, others will ignore our mistake too.
CREATING PERFECT RELATIONSHIPS
A person visited the government matchmaker for marriage, SDU, and requested "I am looking for a spouse. Please help me to find a suitable one." The SDU officer said, "Your requirements, please." "Oh, good looking, polite, humorous, sporty, knowledgeable, good in singing and dancing. Willing to accompany me the whole day at home during my leisure hour, if I don't go out. Telling me interesting stories when I need companion for conversation and be silent when I want to rest." The officer listened carefully and replied, "I understand you need television." There is a saying that a perfect match can only be found between a blind wife and a deaf husband, because the blind wife cannot see the faults of the husband and the deaf husband cannot hear the nagging of the wife. Many couples are blind and deaf at the courting stage and dream of perpetual perfect relationship. Unfortunately, when the excitement of love wears off, they wake up and discover that m! arriage is not a bed of roses. The nightmare begins.
NO OVERPOWERING
Many relationships fail because one party tries to overpower another, or demands too much. People in love tend to think that love will conquer all and their spouses will change the bad habits after marriage. Actually, this is not the case. There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "It is easier to reshape a mountain or a river than a person's character." It is not easy to change. Thus, having high expectation on changing the spouse character will cause disappointment and unpleasantness. It would be less painful to change ourselves and lower our expectations.
RIGHT SPEECH
There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that "A speech will either prosper or ruin a nation." Many relationships break off because of wrong speech. When a couple is too close with each other, we always forget mutual respect and courtesy. We may say anything without considering if it would hurt the other party. A friend and her millionaire husband visited their construction site. A worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted, "Hi, Emily! Remember me? We used to date in the secondary school." On the way home, her millionaire husband teased her, "Luckily you married me. Otherwise you will be the wife of a construction worker." She answered, "You should appreciate that you married me. Otherwise, he will be the millionaire and not you." Frequently exchanging these remarks plants the seed for a bad relationship.
PERSONAL PERCEPTION
Different people have different perception. One man's meat could be another man's poison. A couple bought a donkey from the market. On the way home, a boy commented, "Very stupid. Why neither of them ride on the donkey?" Upon hearing that, the husband let the wife ride on the donkey. He walked beside them. Later, an old man saw it and commented, "The husband is the head of family. How can the wife ride on the donkey while the husband is on foot?" Hearing this, the wife quickly got down and let the husband ride on the donkey. Further on the way home, they met an old Lady. She commented, "How can the man ride on the donkey but let the wife walk. He is no gentleman." The husband thus quickly asked the wife to join him on the donkey. Then, they met a young man. He commented, "Poor donkey, how can you hold up the weight of two persons. They are cruel to you." Hearing that, the husband and wife immediately climbed down from the donkey and carried it on ! their shoulders. It seems to be the only choice left. Later, on a narrow bridge, the donkey was frightened and struggled. They lost their balance and fell into the river. You can never have everyone praise you, nor will everyone condemn you. Never in the past, not at present, and never will be in the future. Thus, do not be too bothered by others words if our conscience is clear.
BE PATIENT
This is a true story which happened in Malaysia (Betol ke tidak, kita tak tau.. tapi kita pernah dengar..). A man came out of his home to admire his brand new car. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint of the car. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp as punishment. When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital. Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy woke up from the surgery & saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, " Daddy, I'm sorry about your truck." Then he asked, "but when are my fingers going to grow back?" The father went home & committed suicide. Think about this story the next time someone steps on your feet or u wish to take revenge. Think first before u lose your patience with someone u love. Cars can be repaired. Broken bones & hurt feelings often can't. Too often we fail to recognise the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge. People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever. Pause and ponder. Think before you act. Be patient. Forgive & forget. Love one and all. If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

Actually, in Singapore, there is a lot of talent, for acting, singing and what-have-you. Its just that maybe, they are afraid to showcase their talent, ot too shy. Or they may even think that singing will get them nowhere in Singapore. We can't blame them from hiding their talent. The fact is harsh and cold, but true. We have ourselves to blame too. We Singaporeans don't give them such a big support, other than the Singapore Idols, local artistes are usually left fending for themselves. I think the West has a big influence on us. We think their music is good and ours are inferior to theirs, thus we won't buy our local music. Still on the otherhand, we don't know much about these local artistes. Some of them give up half way and some go overseas to search for their calling but still representing Singapore. Take for example, Corrinne May.
Corrinne's journey began in Singapore, the former British colony at the cosmopolitan crossroads of east and west where she studied classical music and earned her degree in English literature before moving to Boston for an education in songwriting and film composition at Berklee College of Music. Relocating to Los Angeles, she came to the attention of legendary Grammy-winning songwriters, Carole King and Carole Bayer Sager, with whom she collaborated. Live shows at intimate listening rooms including The Hotel Cafe, The Mint and Genghis Cohen introduced her to appreciative audiences as well.
I am now a fan of hers. She is really a good singer. If you don't remember her, let me give you hint. She sang the theme song of Chase. You know the latest show where Utt was featured. Oh yah i like Utt too. He is so cute!
Ok just now, at my Maulidur Rasul, my madrasah seniors sang and OH MY...their singing can melt my heart. Haiz. And this p2 boy was singing with all the fixes man .....just like SITI NUR HALIZA...boy version. So I hope that they will put their talents to good use and we must keep supporting our local artists and local artistes must NEVER GIVE UP TOO...even if u are in the making of one!....

I love mixing around with people. Especially now, suddenly, I feel super ecstatic, I feel like saying "Hi!" to everyone I see. I used to see people like that in my primary school and I thought them weird but here in Cedar, I don't feel like I'm weird doing that. I'm just being me. And in Cedar, I know that most of my friends would not think me weird when I go around goofing up. Cedarians are enthusiastic and cheerful, as quoted by Amelia, one of our nominated head prefect for the year 2006.
"Cedarians are well known for their spirit of cheerfulness- besides their
prominent blue blouses and grey skirts."
And I think, it is an important aspect of life to mix around because you meet new people, new personalities. Either good or bad, you will always learn something from them. And when you grow up and meet someone like say Person A, you will be able to understand his/her better because you know what he/she probably is like. Still no two persons are the same.
It also provides me with a variety in life. Besides all the popularity you get....ehem ehem, you would also gain more knowledge. It is so nice to hear different people's view on different topics, their experiences in life, their lame but amusing jokes, their stories. And other people willl get to know you better too.
Now, I am closer to Geraldine then I was when I entered Secondary One. If not for Netball, I think it would have stayed that way. I am closer to Susmitha, Sarah, Rudihra and Rupini too. And all my other classmates... especially Susmitha cos we have a sudden liking to hit each other and run screaming away guiltily after that.
Just now, I went to Toa Payoh Community Library with Mu Jia, Inez, Ping Hui and Inez. First time with this combination. I was quite close to Mu Jia and Jerallyn. Ping Hui sits in front of me and I had a friendly relationship with Inez. I just tried to hang with them lah. And I have forgotten what it feels like to have to sit beside Jerallyn and really know her as a person . She really listens to what you have to say with genuine interest. I find this quality rare in a person. And Inez is really smart and pro. She explains and tests like a professor. Ha-ha. Her concept of Science me envy her.
And I believe in the power of having friends. You can really depend on them. It is a good idea to mix around so that your social circle will be built up. But choose carefully your friends because they are influential. And do not wait for them to come eo you. Go find out about that distant classmate yourself.

I wish to say thank you to my PE teacher. She pushed me. Now I know my power. Thank you.
Netball on Monday while I was running with Fade, I really was pushing myself. I felt like I could run forever. I wanted to run harder, faster but Fade asked me to jog with her so cannot leave her alone what. I actually could run in front of her. And she said that wasn't slow. I felt that drive- the drive to run. Thank you so much. I feel so proud of myself.
And on PE that day, she asked us to run to the end of the field and come back, sprinting all the way. The first time, I tried and I did my sprint fairly well. The second time, I went all out. There were people blocking my way so I spurted an extra bit and cut some people...even Geraldine! haha. Yeah so I was like one of the infronters. I was in front of Mu Jia too! But last min, Geraldine cut me again cos I was panting like what. My lungs were on fire and Miss Poon said it was supposed to. So I guess I sprinted correctly. Whoa... my first time at sprinting...

Yesterday, 2 UK students were introduced to us. They were from Sussex, England. I think. Names are Louise and Alice. The first thing that I though was " Surely I cant be able to meet them"...but thanks to Jannah, being on the right committee on the PSL board, the whole class was able to. They followed us to our Learning Journey. It was fun...haha...when we were on the bus to go there, we were singing,,,,so nice- me , Jannah, Adel, Mira, Hus and Atikah....i was SUPER hyper. Must be him. And cos i decided that I'm going to put Shee away out of my mind and I felt so good after that. It was really nice. Me feel so free and light. I can fly now...I hope...Ok at the Jurong Frog Farm, we saw bullfrog eggs turning to tadpoles. Then, their hind legs grow and their tales shrink until they become a baby frog. After 6 months, they are fully grown. When they are ready to mate, they are separated from the rest of the frogs and put in a special pond. I got to feed the rest of the frogs with special frog feed. When i threw the feed into the water in front of the frogs, they immediately jumped on it.Male frogs are much more colourful than their female counterparts, who are grey in colour. This is unlike the humans. We female are much more colourful than the males....haha.Then, I saw how they slaughtered the frog. Still alive, the butcher would just chop the head off. Then the fingers. Then the skin would be peeled off, exposing the raw flesh. Yes it is gross, but it is life. There is a demand for frogs legs thus the slaughtering. We Muslims cant eat frogs because they live in two worlds that is on land and in water. I am thankful for that. I wouldnt want to eat frogs. Amira cried by the way and I had to pacify her. Ala Cayang Cayang....hahax. Too emo lah she.Then went to Bollywood Veggies. Learned many new fruits like Custard Apple, Breadfruit....it was quite boring there.After school, me and Adel and Jan went to Orchard. Ate at Lido and took 3 sets of neos at Level One Far East. All nice nice lar... Sorry I fogot to tell u again Dian. I noe its ur territorry. haha...dotz...Me and Adel kinda bonded....more...nice....and we talked....and i let ma feelings out...peace...And the UK girls taught me... WHATEVER TREVOR....so cute....hee*[poof]***

These lyrics mean soo much to me...and im a new fan of Kelly. GC, bring that CD Breakaway tomorrow kay..u promised...haha.
Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong
Now I can't breathe
Now, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life
Now all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together, but so broken up inside
'Cause I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hangin' on
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
Swallow me then spit me out
For hating you, I blame myself
Seeing you it kills me now
No, I don't cry on the outside
Anymore...
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyesHaiz...u'll never see the tears I cry...U'll never...and I thought u would be one of mine...but u'll nevver....and once again, im here. ...will i be caught inside this trap again? i need to watch out for ppl like you. And I blame myself for it. I cant stand to see you. Go away.

NurSa, your connection type is The Networker
There's no doubt about it: You like to be in the know, and you spend a lot of time checking in with friends and family to find out what they're up to. You're a networker in the most natural sense and probably are better at keeping other people in touch than they are. What is it about you? Your easy-going style, your sincere desire to hook up the people you like in your life? You're just someone who doesn't take relationships for granted. You're probably still in touch with the kids you met at camp years ago — and you plan on keeping the friends you have now forever.
You love hooking your friends up with one another, and your friends might tease you about your obsession with matchmaking — but they know when they need a place to crash in Chicago, or a lead on a cool new job for the summer, that you're the person who can really connect them with a place to stay, some free concert tix, a new friend, a new job...
I'm a connector... really but I don't matchmake lah...aiyoh... Cos i connected Amira and Dian, Dian and Husna, Amira and Ahmad. haha...
Ahmad and Dian will stay with me forever....eee..sound like what...ok they will be my friends forever...
And Ahmad got new blog where he write abt his personal stuff instead of Simple PLan, Simpla PLan and Simple Plan... YAY...hurrah 4 u...dotz...
and Mumu, u sure wanna go NJC? So far leh, at Bt. Timah tau...Jauh kan.....Go VJ with me lah...haha...
And Yassy, me sooo sorry dat me neba bring you Charmed bks,...you oso @ fault cos u neba remind me lorhs...
CHEONG NETBALLERS...or wateva word that Mumu owaesss say...I WILL ALWAYSsS LOVE YOU ALL and me, being the NETWORKER,will try to organise gatherings and bla-bla cause that's my job and wat I like to do! haha...dotz again. We will grow up and still be friends k ppl...MUA HAHA HAAH>..you all are stuck with me once u be my gd frenz...haha...
BLINKIES
i love drama, but i dunt like acting
i love nature.
i love the night
pooh is cute and naive
I love butterfly
and ladybuggies
and sweets
and blinkies!
and dolls!
and my heart is full of love...
and pizza!
and ice tea
and im learning to accept change...

Nice family day. Happy youth day. Woke up to my phone's message tone. Opened it and saw Amira's message. Thanks mira, if u had not messaged me, i would have still slept and gotten a scolding forom my Mak. And CONGRATULATIONS to you for officially wearing the tudung starting from yesterday. Me so proud of you. I hope you will hadapi segala cabaran dengan penuh sabar dan pasrah. Then my Bapak asked me to vacuum the house, which I did after watching "My Parents Are Aliens". Very nice. Only one of the nice shows that are still on Kids Central i think. And Adik had to clear the bins. Then Bapak called and asked us to meet at THE TEH TARIK MUSLIM RESTAURANT for breakfast -brunch rather. Then I got ready and me and my Adik made our way there.
After breakfast, me, Adik and Bapak went to Tampines Mall to get Adik a HI-card. On the way up, I saw Ahmad and called out his name. Since I was behind both my brother and father, he saw both of them first. Then he saw me and he smiled. My brother saw a Neoprint in his hand. Im feeling kepoh. Shall call him later.
Then we went to THE M1 SHOP and the lady explained bla..bla..bla and said that the Student Plan was off...only for M1. And in the end, my father decided to buy the line plan which was on offer and it was no need to buy the SIM card. So my brother has a line. My father is going to give him his handphone.
I went round surfing and found another nice quiz webbie. Check out Quizfarm! and HAPPY YOUTH DAY...enjoy your youth and make it last...
| You scored as Angel. Angel: Angels are the guardians of all things, from the smallest ant to the tallest tree. They give inspiration, love, hope, and positive emotion. They live among humans without being seen. They are the good in all things, and if you feel alone, don't fear. They are always watching. Often times they merely stand by, whispering into the ears of those who feel lost. They would love nothing more then to reveal themselves, but in today's society, this would bring havoc and many unneeded questions. Give thanks to all things beautiful, for you are an Angel.

Usher - My Boo Lyrics
[Usher intro:]
There's always that one person
That will always have your heart
You'll never see it coming
Cause you're blinded from the start
Know that you're that one for me
It's clear for everyone to see
Ooh baby ooh you'll always be my boo
[Alicia intro:]
I don't know bout cha'll
But I know about us and uh
This is the only way
We know how to rock
I don't know bout cha'll
But I know about us and uh
This is the only way
We know how to rock
[Usher Verse:]
Do you remember girl
I was the one who gave you your first kiss
Cause I remember girl
I was the one who said put your lips like this
Even before all the fame and
People screaming your name
Girl I was there when you were my baby
[Chorus:]
[Usher:]
It started when we were young girl
You were mine my boo
Now another brother's taking over
But its still in your eyes my boo
Even though we used to argue it's alright
I know we haven't seen each other
In awhile but you will always be my boo
[Alicia:]
I was in love with you when we were younger
You were mine my boo
And I see it from time to time
I still feel like my boo
And I can see it no matter
How I try to hide my boo
Even though there's another man in my life
You will always be my boo
[Alicia Verse:]
Yes I remember boy
Cause after we kissed
I could only think about your lips
Yes I remember boy
The moment I knew you were the one
I could spend my life with
Even before all the fame
And people screaming your name
I was there and you were my baby
[Chorus:]
[Usher:]
It started when we were young girl
You were mine my boo
Now another brother's taking over
But its still in your eyes my boo
Even though we used to argue it's alright
I know we haven't seen each other
In awhile but you will always be my boo
[Alicia:]
I was in love with you when we were younger
You were mine my boo
And I see it from time to time
I still feel like my boo
And I can see it no matter
How I try to hide my boo
Even though there's another man in my life
You will always be my boo
[Usher:]
My oh, My oh, My oh, My oh, My Boo
[Alicia:]
My oh, My oh, My oh, My oh, My Boo
[Chorus:]
[Usher:]
It started when we were young girl
You were mine my boo
Now another brother's taking over
But its still in your eyes my boo
Even though we used to argue it's alright
I know we haven't seen each other
In awhile but you will always be my boo
[Alicia & Usher:]
I don't know bout cha'll
But I know about us and uh
This is the only way
We know how to rock
I don't know bout cha'll
But I know about us and uh
This is the only way
We know how to rock

Yesterday, I knew I wanted to go to that YESCOM thing. But I knew that Amira wanted to do CIP with her SSSs but I didnt want to cos I didn't want to trudge up there at 9 am and also because I had tuition at that time. So I asked Dian if she wanted to accompany me. The next day she said ok. HAHA....also it was a long time since I saw Dian ( only one week ) and I am now very sure that we will be seeing each other throughout our lives ( insyaALLAH or God- Willing). Very nice thought.
So I met Dian at Tampines MRT since the thing was held at the open field in front of Tampines Mall. Then we walked a gew times round teh things and I saw Amira so I shouted her name, "AMIRA!" She turned around but she stayed where she was and asked me who I was with. Then she saw Dian and mouthed "Oh, Dian....". Then me and Dian rounded the whole thing and saw Changkat Changi Sec. We were reminded of one person. Dian asked " Is Ahmad there?" and I said, "I don't know but he doesnt look like he's there." So Dian, on the spur of the moment said" Let's call him. Whats his number?" So I gave her his number. And we told Ahmad, my best boy friend that his school was down there but he knew already. Then we asked if he wants to come down and he said ok. YAY...long time since I saw him man....missed him... a lot....
So while waiting for him to come, we went to Tampines Mall cos Dian wanted to check out the price of ice cream sticks. On the way there, we bumped into Khai2(but i prefer to just say him as Khai...i think) . Actually he just spotted Dian so he tapped her on his shoulder. So he just followed us to Popular. He wanted to buy some guitar stuff thats why he was there.
Then Ahmad called that he was leaving his house so we started for our way to the MRT again to wait for him. We waited..and waited...while Khai and his friend or "brudder" went to check out the YESCOM. Then he came. And I was shocked. And jealous. And horrified. Because....HE WAS TALLER THAN ME!!! aagghh...its so saaadd..
Then we went rounding the YESCOM again. By then Khai and his brudder had left. I wanted to finish the coupon which I bought earlier from my Cikgu so I bought a $2 keychain from Temase Secondary School, which I gave to Dian...a $1 badge which says "I LOVE FUNKY" Ahmad offered to pay for that but I declined. Thanks anyway Ahmad. And the best buy which I bought was the 5 stones in a pouch, it was beautiful. I really thought so. Who made it? Or did Cikgu buy it from someone else?
And since Syafiqah asked me to take a lot of bookmarks, the FOC ones, i did. There were anime girls drawn on it. I suspect Simphoni drew it.
Then we went to Macs to have a tea break. Actually, ice cream and a drink. What was funny was that Ahmad was playing the 5 stones that I just bought and the staff there was looking at him with amusement on their faces. Then, she came to ask with a PDA in her hand and asked us what we wanted to order. Whoa...first time man...so jakun...Apparently they have maju-ed and becoming more high-tech.But people could still be seen queuing up and buying their food though. I ordered a hot fudge sundae and ice lemon tea. COOOOLll..
Then we went back to the fair and left Ahmad with his friends cos I wanted to put on henna. Not wanted lah but Amira insisted on it. When me and Dian went there, the Henna artists were still busy and Amira asked us to wait for her to come back cos sh was washing off her henna. I spotted my netball juniors while waiting and me and Dian went to "tegur" them. And they greeted me with smilesss...and Parveen had this blue furry halo. Wat lah she....she was wearing it and she looked like a devil..haha...ok ok. Then she bought another one for Evelyn and another for Kaitlyn. Shakila, Raihan and Irdayu,,,,u all so bad k...dont tease me again...or bully...even if u feel like it...haha
After Amira returned, we did our henna. Mine first. Caterpillar design. I like the flowers on my fingers cos when i separate it, it will appear cut up. Then Dian's was a a plant from the ground. Our Henna artist, who was only 14 yrs old, got it frm an inspiration of that plant. Then she drew the number 9, Dian's fav number beside it. I liked that. It was so personal and unique.
Then we went to find Ahmad after saying goodbye to Amira and the others. We saw him staring dolefully at the concert on the stage. So cute...but he was tired lah, he just came back from drills during NPCC. Then we crept up on him but he was too tired to be shocked. Haiz...
Then I suggested taking Neos but we didnt cos my mother called and said my guitar started at 5 instead of 5.30. I completely forgot so I had to rush there and we walked to the bus interchange together. Then we said our goodbyes...
Today was a nice day...I want it to happen again but a diff activity.

2:10 pm
Im feeling better. Yupps. Shahini said she likes the purse i bought for her birthday and she's using it everyday. Totally, I bought it cos it reminded me of her. It says "Mis Whatever, Yupps! Duh!" Cos shes the one hu first used whatever to me when we were in P3.
My leg muscles are so worn out frm yesterday's training and my P.E teacher asked us to run for a total of 3 rounds during P.E for the comping NAPFA test. This is not counting the additional 2 rounds we had to run for Jogging period. Whoo....at least I finished the rounds in time. Whahaha...Den the big news today. We have a new P.E. tshirt design! Yayness!!! Its fbt u noe...FBT!!! I think I will wear it for netball training, much nicer, unless it is hot....than I'lll wear my cotten house T.Ok since I do not have a pic of it, I will describe it. Its colour like the rays of the sunshinebrilliant gold. Subtle lines are engraved in itcreating depth and dimension.No buttons beneath the soft collarmaking the whole thing look like a football jersey. Enhanced with the latest technology,it keeps the sweat away from your body,allowing your skin to breathe,to be free. Wah...how can anyone in cedar make a poem about our new p.e. tshirt. I MUST BE THE FIRST! Anyways, just imagine how it looks like. PLUS, there will be no BIG CEDAR LOGO on it, instead, there is this futuristic logo...it looks so...TECHNO so FUTURE so MILENNIUM. That is the only way to describe it...Miss Poon designed a new logo, but still keeping the meanings of the traditional Cedar logo intact. haha...its really nice lah but my only doubts is that, the P.E. shirt would be hot when i wear it. My FBT netball jersey is HOT honestly...when i wear it. Anyways, some ppl liked the new design, some people dont.
No one can understand, unless they are with me hand in hand.
Ok even though I have ups and downs, I can look forward to his return next week...Rindu....Rindu Serindurindunyaaaa....
