stamina! marathon @ 11:14 pm

Lectures are all finished.

Somehow, it's okay that we didn't finish in time for all the topics for Econs that we were supposed to finish before 2009 started.

And.

Recap on what I've been doing.

8 November, Saturday

Early morning, took 8 all the way to Toa Payoh. Nice to remember the route all the way to Cedar. Then had the Tea Session for Camp Vivant. Only Meridian. NYEH. Very interesting things discussed. Had Old Chang Kee munchies.

Then, went to meet Sean and Amirah for lunch at the T2 Staff Canteen at Airport. Though they were studying for A levels. Then Zikri came... haha brought Nasi Lemak, forgot to bring it with him, asked his dad to bring it. Haha...funny.

Then, bought Shafiq's present: files, cos his papers are always everywhere and went to Jannah's house for Fried Mars Bars, movie marathon and Shafiq's "surprise" party with MJI. Oh he's at Dubai now. I wonder how he's enjoying himself. We didn't see him off but I think we're gonna greet him when he returns. Anyways, it wasnt really that much of a surprise cos he already saw the candles and the nice things we made cos he snooped around in the kitchen. The class saw him do tt, ok at least the MJI part of 08A301, and I just wanted to scream but I couldnt take it so I went in to the room nearest the kitchen, Jannah's room and SCREAMED into the mattress. Jannah and Fazari were already there I think. GOSH. Jannah's mum's laksa is nice. Photos are from Jannah... as usual.

2nd round of Fried Mars Bars... it's really nice when the inside is all melted and the outer covering is still crunchy and the ice cream is still not so melted. Yups.

SHAFIENAS FRYING MARS BARS... it's like frying bananas... i mean.. pisang goreng like tt.. ahha.

The rest of the class made this. I just bought the presents. AND whoever made the card... it's reallly nice! Cos Shafiq's going to Dubai for his Global Immersion Programme so... it's really fitting. HAHAH and when we surprised him, he act cute only. BWEKS.

10 November, Monday

I made engraved toast for breakfast. NYAHAHAs. WITH Ya Kun Kaya Toast. NYAHA...
oh then I ate with Shafienas at BBQ Chicken on the hot pink sofas. Gosh this seems like ages ago.

11 November, Tuesday

felt upset

12 November, Wednesday

rushed, cried. fell.

13 November, Thursday

Came too early for lectures. Lectures started at 10.25. So. HAHA had breakfast. So spontaneous. Was drizzling.

14 November, Friday

Back aches. OW OW OW.
Whole day was movie day.
Shakespeare in Love for Literature.
Children of Brothel for Urban Geog lecture.
Then some of them went to watch Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gham... is it spelled like that? O.o while I went home, took forty winks because was really tired and sleepy and then dad sent me and Ilhan to Najihah's. Sabrina, Nadiah and Farah were already there since 1.30 and I think I reached home only at 1.30pm. So, they bought snacks and drinks and I had lunch and fed Ilhan his lunch. THEN we started watching MY GIRL instead of GOONG. Which is allright cos I've been wanting to watch MY GIRL since after Os but the first 4 episodes were missing cos Najihah's cousins on the other side borrowed it. SO it was really allright, the show is nice. Watching it back to back with my girl cousins are nice. But we didn't stay up the whole time. We watched from 3pm to 1am on the first day and then the next morning, had Macs breakfast delivery and started back at 10am. It was done only at 10pm with all the NGs and bloopers which is really cute.

I invited Amirah and Kak Noi but they're not really into these type of activities. Anyway, the aunts and uncles ended up dropping by and Mak Chor ended up watching a large part of it too. Sabrina and Farah had to leave for some parts cos of music but it's allright cos they watched it already last year. And we had to take breaks off for solat and lunch and all and we ended up playing the piano and sometimes I took the guitar to play. Me and Naj tried to do a "Better In Time" by Leona Lewis, she piano, me vocals but it didn't really fit. The chords ahhah.. but it was really nice. It was a real success, this thing. ALL COS OF ME. NAYAHHAHA.. okok. WAHAH.. really serious... I thought of it. And they all wanted it and kept bugging me when the marathon would be held.

Then, my mum learnt some Korean. I LOVE YOU is SARANG HE YO.. which we all Korean freaks know a long time ago..but only after one minute, she said... "Bang, sayonara" cos she wanted to say it to my father. AHHAAHAAHAHHA.... We all burst out laughing. Everyone in the house.... "Sayonara", that's Japanese, and it means farewell. AHHA I think even my dad knew that then he said "Sarang burung lah" AHHAHHHHA... which is "bird nest" in malay. Sarang means...nest. NYEHAH.. my family my family....

But throughout, I was real tired but I didn't wanna sleep. HAHA.. cos I didn't wanna miss any of the parts.

Plus, kinda realise how some parts of my life is like a Korean drama huh? hahaha... yes yes life is weird. *BIG WINK**

*hee. pauses to smile, yes it is tiring taking care of bro, but it is a good type of tiring you know?**

and, I think I got like, TEN books to read.

Sean said he has to enlist on 11 Dec. I wonder when Azmi's gonna enlist. Well, yeah that's very very very soon... haha.. Makes me think... I remember one point of time not so long ago, when I viewed NS like so very far away from me.. like, I only saw it when Ayah Chor went for reservice, when my teachers went for reservice, when Abang Hatta enlisted when I was only in primary school? I thought it was such an adult thing, only adults did it. But now that the people around me are going NS, I think again... is it that I'm the one who's growing up, becoming an adult too or is it that they're the young ones, going in an adult world... yeah it's very fast.. In Secondary school, there was the anniversary of NS. Then, Straits Times did a special on it. There were all the interviews, the flashback of what the uniforms look like now, the different divisions, the stories about the scary officers. Even before this, there were the ghost stories told in primary school... NS is like... haha.. fascinating. Now, I wonder when the rest of the j2s gonna enlist.

Haiz...

What will happen what will happen... i dunno...

Well.. the week seemed reallly long. And I'm really forgetful I can't remember what happened in my week so I need to recap. Weeks seem long to me nowadays. Is it cos school's over? FINALLY? don't think so... since I'm in JC, Weeks are looong.

Ok now,

red is always hot @ 12:48 am

While having linner with Siti & Jannah.... some plans surfaced:

wake up early early, run in school, freshen up, study geog and econs (for me) during holidays. by siti, jannah & safiah. anyone up for it? no holidays for us, surely.
warehouse sale updates by safiah
flea markets by siti
email update system by siti

MONDAY:

ATIQAH's BIRTHDAY!!! Happy Birthday Dudette. Gave her artbox cuecards...even tho her OP ended. NYAHA.. nvm can always use for next year. It's kinda funny how it was all last minute. And we played with sparklers. And Athirah came AFTER candles was blown out, bday song was sung, presents were given and asked "SITI, KAU NAMPAK SHAFIQ?" when Shafiq, organiser of the surprise was there and so was bday girl too. HEH. FARNIE. We lighted up the whistling sparklers in front of bio lab area and took piccs there.

Honestly. That day, I felt tired and was being a bit OUT, but still.... had fun. I hoped everyone enjoyed themselves. (:

Then, it was back to OP presentations...

Felt kinda of "waa-eld" (sade's word) cos it was last day we were all together. I took a lot of videos of everything. I'm more of a vid kinda girl but vids take a loooong time to upload. There's one where Gary was memorising his lines, there's one where we were all stuck in the room doing the IT dry run and everyone got crazy and Elliot was dancing away like crazy and tried to seduce Farshad at one point of time... I guess I'll just miss the times where our class was so busy doing work with other classes too and we all bonded and crap happended and Miss Rai always brought potato chips ( the one pre-oredered in bulk for Hari Raya ) to class and gave it to us)

TODAY, 041108
OP ENDED

YES YES YES..
First speaker of first group of the afternoon session and it was aaaaalll okay. Haiz. Tiring. Breaks in between. Plus, was perfect nap timing and for the rest of the OPs, where had to sit for student audience, felt so sleepy and hungry. Siti just kept turning her head and got scolded by the assessors. Elliot's group handled all the moderators well but din't acknowledge them! Nvm... but I felt the group that wasn't in our class... their presentation method didn't really sit well with me...hrmms. Too playful I guess...

I was trying to read a book. The guys played World or Warcraft... heh. Denise... was...playing with her laptop and Siti.. was obviously reading Cleo... and she spoke out loud all the wrong story titles. TSK.

I think THIS is why I look like BJ from Barney & Friends...it's the eyeeees. Or something. HEH.

Then we went to Solat & I persuaded the girls to date me for linner (lunch + dinner ) cos was soo hungry...and had some IDEAS... Told them to take pic, highlighting the red parts of our socks. Jannah's colour accent rocksss hahaah.

we rock our sockkkksss!!

We are so patriotic for our house. EH Pak Wahid/ Dol, do this for some advertisement for colloseum or something! haha..perassan. okok.. I liked how it turned out though. (:

And THIS. haha.. so (RED) campaign! Nyaha..

I arranged the stuff. Shafiq took the pic But Sean said it's kinda complicated cos too many things...hrmm yeah now I think about it... BUT it still looks like an ADVERT aaand...the RED things innit are!

1. Me&Jannah's socks
2. Jannah's red bubble tea straw
3. Jannah's pink watch strap
4. My Minnie Mouse bag (lettering and inside of straps)
5. My Spectacles
6. My Handphones
7. My badly-in-need-of-a-wash Converse shoes
8. Suite Scarlett by Maureen Johnson, book (zoom in and her lips are red toooo)

WOO HOOO NIIIICE

Dunno why felt so Fashion Editor today (nyahaha perassan) but good good burst of "creativity". WOO.

I wanna eat at Pie Kia one day! (:
and...
err..
Fig&Olive!
all the places that we are all supposed to go eat at

Thanks to everyone who has been there for me through thick and thin. (:

"let's see what this love can do" @ 11:00 pm

I don't think I can really control my tears anymore. So I shan't even try anymore. Sorry about that. There was really no need to cry actually. Logically.

I think T2 is the nicest terminal. It feels very compact and small and personal somehow. Hrmms. Still, so many things have changed about it. I haven't been there for so long... gosh. And haven't taken the sky train for a long time too. And I don't think I took the train before. Hrm yes I think I did. With Mdm Faridah from some Geog Weather talk at the airport in sec 4. Oooh now I remember that... I was the only one who signed up cos noone was interested and thought I was really the only one but Thendral was there too and the food was nice. But I didn't remember how the MRT station looked like...Somehow, nowadays, I see more, I notice more. Anyway, Crowne Plaza is reaaally nice and even though felt like an intruder going in there with Sean, wasn't really treated like one. Yes! The good service campaign thing is really working. Good job government! Unless... that person was really a foreigner.. *stares suspiciously*...

Actually finished I&R draft 1. Using computer at home very distracting....waha!

Today feels weird somehow. In the morning, I think it's one of the only times I felt really close with the WHOLE class. Shafienas was playing Don't Forget the Lyrics using Xavier's playlist and Elliot was the contestant. Can't help but burst out laughing even in the midst of all the PW. Especially when Elliot made a very Paris Hilton move, copying how she moved in the video of "Stars Are Blind" and singing "let's see what this love can do". That move will take a very long time to wipe away from my mind. NYAHA. And for the first time, found out that Denise is into Cosplay. Really really into it, sewing and buying her own costumes complete with wigs and all. I was really blown away today, by who my classmates are. Elliot can sing. Then, it got me singing. Haha. Was fun. Though, it kind of saddens me that we will not everyone of us, move up together...and the normal voices will not be there and that some of the hilarious antics will not be there. But...

Sectionals went well today, for the first time. I was really proud of myself and my section cos we were the first complete set to come down for practise. Figured out the fingerings with Yanti. Was having sore throat whole day, since yesterday so Strepsils have been a staple today. Yanti left at 4. So had 1/2 hour to go through the part we were supposed to play with Wei Jin, Wei Zhen and Song Yang. Counted so many "1-2-3-4"s so that they could get the beat proper. I think this is why I like being a section leader. I like rhythm and conducting. Thing is, I don't really look at technicalities sometimes, just follow the rhythm. Plus, figuring out the timings for each note takes a lot of brain power. The logical side. So I hope, I can be better at math and all the logical stuff that I should be able to do. Still remember my violin teacher saying that when you're good at reading music, you're supposed to be good at doing math. But I stopped doing music for a while. And when I did, I stopped being good at math. Gosh. Music is really good for you when you know how to read it. Like math, I think I need more practise. Yeesh.

Then the rest of the ensemble filtered in F4-1 and we played the "Dance of the Yao people" as one sound, one ensemble. My section was really lacking in manpower. 4/7 only. Crystal had PW and Sandra didn't come even though I saw her earlier and asked her if she was coming. Was waiting for her sms to tell me why she didn't turn up. Harrumph. Still am not getting any sms. But the combined practice sounded good. (: Quite satisfied. Just need to be more fluent with fingerings.

So throat is pain. Voice is half gone and tomorrow OP presentation at 7.45am. The world is at ease... ARGHS. Nevermind nevermind.... calm calm. (:

Well, a lot of the House Comm people are getting retained. Haiz.. retaining is not the end of the world... I think there should be a support group to ease those who are being retained. Then, the theme song can be Daryl's Retainee song. Whaha.. but seriously, is there a group? Hrmm I shall look around in the net.. I'm not making a joke at this though, yes some may feel that they're wasting one year but still, time spent on education is never time wasted and it may be for the best in the end... (: Cheer up people... worse things happen allright. Don't cry too much... Live your life!!!

I should really sleep...

XOXO

it's tiring to be happy all the time; emo day @ 9:36 pm

Am so tired cos of Guitar orientation. Yes. This is how bad my stamina is at the moment. Run around school a bit and POOF my body is so tired. My immunity is sooo BAD.

Ok. I miss Daryl a lot. So Daryl if you're reading this, please don't ask me to stop missing you because it's a feeling and I can't make feelings from going away until it does.

Today I missed Jonathan too because it's the first time going to a guitar meeting with no friendly Jonathan's face. And his piercing. And his pro guitar skills. And yeah I kinda miss his friendly voice.

I miss Najihah also. Cos of the fact that she'll go around asking if everything is okay and me being SUCH a pro at guitar will always make funny faces at her, and tell her about the latest news of me and we'll share some insiders cousin-ny joke. GOSH...

ok ok Safiah stop it. You're starting to tear.

And sometimes, especially at this period of time, I cry myself to sleep because I feel so insecure. I don't know about what. My future? My friendships? My life?

Yes I know I shouldn't feel like this. I might as well have stayed in TPJ if I'm always returning back or missing people. But it's too late and in my BRAIN, MJ is the right choice because I really feel like I can study in MJ. If I was hardworking and self-disciplined and brave enough, I'd have stayed. But I'm not. I'm really not. So yeah. Too bad I just had to sacrifice my heart for my brain and future. Who asked me to be so lazy?

Atikah and me felt so unwelcomed or some feeling like that just now. I had to console her a lot. It's just if some people don't know how to welcome other people, it's not their fault right? Nobody taught them. All their life they only knew that the differentiation of 48x is 48 and so on.

I just expect everything to get better in time....as it is supposed to heal everything else. Because now it hurts a lot.
So this is why, this song is just going loop-de-loop in my w910i.

Better in Time- Leona Lewis

It's been the longest winter without you
I didn't know where to turn to
See somehow I can't forget you
After all that we've been through

Going coming
thought I heard a knock
Who's there no one
Thinking that I deserve it
Now I realise that I really didn't know
If you didn't notice you mean everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is I'm gon' be ok

Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time

I couldn't turn on the TV
Without something there to remind me
Was it all that easy
To just put aside your feelings

If I'm dreaming don't wanna laugh
Hurt my feelings but that's the path
I believe in
And I know that time will heal it

If you didn't notice boy you meant everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is I'm gon' be ok

Since there's no more you and me
It's time I let you go
So I can be free
And live my life how it should be
No matter how hard it is
I'll be fine without you
Yes I will

________________

on the brighter side of life, the day started with 08A301 reminisicing on old boyband songs and I was singing and singing with Martin. Then we started to reminisce about childhood TV shows. I remember there was this one show on Kids Central where there was a clown on a HUGE sofa. Then, Dexter's Lab, Mummies Alive..haiz..that was good fun.

The Sizzling Western food in our canteen can be eaten by Muslims now. YAY!

However, I really DO NOT LIKE the cleanliness of the canteen. EEE gosh. Everytime I go there I shiver. WHY WHY WHY?

And it's so easy to get stains on the MJ uniform. Like mysteriously, out of nowhere and somehow, they are there! Tsk.

I've been elected Vice Chairperson for temporary Class Commitee.

Q:Where is my life going to go?
A: I don't know but for the next 18 months, STUDYING is your main priority.

WHAT A LIFE.

Oh and Thank You sooo much to Shafiq for supporting me during the "speeches". Farnie! Thanks to Samantha for being my listening ear at the start of my emo day.

Thanks to Jannah for always picking up the phonecalls when I'm always lost and don't know where the class is.

Thanks to Christina for giving me the hug that I needed. Thanks for introducing me to your classmates. I can only remember Salihin and Azrul and Aida and Kamal.

Thanks to Mark for always giving me reasons to smile at the end of the day. And everyone is talking about Mas Selamat. T.T Everywhere I go. Class, hairdresser. I hope everyone will be safe and everything will be over..

XOXO
