Jo finally turns 18!

For the past few years, I see birthdays as a usual thing. Nothing special, a year older, a year wiser. That's it. But as I've grown older, I've come to realize that birthdays are really something very special. I remember last year, I told one of my classmate that, I see my birthday as just a usual day, nothing special. It's just another day which comes and goes by without you yourself noticing it. And further more, every year you turn older, so if ever you missed one year, there's still another one next year. And every year's the same. No biggie. - so wrong.

As mentioned on the above, as I've grown older, birthday is the most special day of the year. How? Why? somehow, someway, or probly it's my nature, don't know though - but I like to make people happy. Especially when it's their special day! Like for example, I remember last year we put in tonnes of effort into Su-Chien's surprise birthday party - and her expression when she actually found out about it, it was so priceless!! seriously. Just see her face, you couldn't help but smile also.

And so, today Jolene Lai one of my bestest friend has turned 18! Nope there wasn't any surprise party for her or anything else, but we surprised her with showering her with tonnes of birthday gifts which she really wanted, and further more, Sush, Kwo Kuang and I surprised Jolene with a small entertainment during the party. :)

Went for lunch in the afternoon with David and Sush. Paid Sushi King my weekly visit. My gawd! too much sushi man! anyways, after that I thought of going home to sleep, maner tahu, my kids - oops! my siblings called and expect me to go pick them up from Kah Kit's house as they were there for the vday production. After picking them up, driving dad's car, went home, and I end up spending time with my mom and dad - talked to them a little and realized that it was time.. hurried up and changed, and was wondering where's Sush, end up that she was late because she over slept. hehe!
Went to Kwo Kuang's house at around 6-ish after being caught in the stupid jam at the traffic light. We practiced! And then, proceeded to Jo's house.

Reached Jo's house at around 7-ish after our practice at Kwo Kuang's house. His dad simply adore our music. hehehe! He loved our Canon, and even the Greensleeves and even the Romeo and Juliet theme. He mentioned that it was "classic". phwoar! :)

Obviously someone needs to start somewhere, so yesh! this is Liss & I!!

Suddenly I stonned there. Oh no! Noooo!!! too fast too fast! I suddenly started shaking. God knows why, but I started sweating profusely and yes, I started shaking. Went and broke the wonderful news to Sush and Kwo Kuang. They both started to panic too. Went to the car to get our instruments, and walked in the house, like entertainers! LOL.

alright. where was I? oh yesh! first period - bur-laarr-dee law! gagh! have to see stupid Mrs. Ong's face. laadeedah.. went to class.. and then everything was a-okay.. until it came to lit time, Ms. Anne came into class and ask us to take our test papers out. O_O d-i-e! really! and then she said, "those without the test paper please leave the class room!" f-*-*-k!! I was so pist of with myself for being so careless, not bringing the test paper!!!!! and so, that was my glorious first day of class. btw, it's the 3rd time I got kicked out of class!!

Tuesday and the rest of the days were fine. Was the usuals, stonning in econs class and 1/2 awake in law. I still love my lit classes cos' we're doing chauser! :) medieval times! -- why didn't anyone use this medieval time theme for prom?! it's so interesting! ;)

Friday - 14.01.05

don't laugh at other ppl's misfortune.

Was wondering whether to blog this out or not, but to keep track of some stupid moments, I guess I would blog this out.

I went back to school yesterday again, because I had to drop my brother off at school and at the same time, David wanted to collect his SPM cert & attend CF (reason: I need to be holy-er), and I had lunch appointment with Jo and Ying Quan at around 2, so I decided to hang round school then. (sad case huh?!)

Everything was a o-kay at first. Was doing what a dutiful sister would do - fetching my siblings and also siblings friends (don't mention) home. yesh! I am a freaking c-kei now. *groan*

We were all at the canteen waiting for the stupid office to open so that David & Zen could collect their cert and then we can have lunch together. And then, suddenly when Ying Quan & Jolene were walking towards us in the canteen, they were having this funny-kinda-look.

Apparently, Jo & Ying Quan were climbing the stairs, and two juniors walked passed them. They greeted Ying Quan and then looked at Jo and then back at Yingky and said,

"Your mother ah?"

Right after we heard that, we burst out laughing! I seriously was laughing SO DARN HARD.. Jo even scolded me for laughing so devilish! hahaha.. but I couldn't help it!

And then, suddenly she mentioned that she was the same age as Ying Quan I once more burst out laughing again. It did not occur to me that they were the same age.
(tsk tsk, i know you guys are gonna say, "blur-woman, don't know her own friend's age!" -- P/s: I
know my friend's age, but due to Jo's maturity and long time friendship, she's practically like my age.)

To read more about her auntie-moment - click here.

After that we went for lunch and everything, and then I followed Jo to Pyramid to do her Chinese New Year shopping and then we went into Body Shop to get Dennis's birthday present.

***

Brother got home in the evening, and then he went, "EH, che, guess what?" .... "What?"

"My friend thought you were mummy!" -- oh shiat! the thought of Jo telling me that she was mistaken as Ying Quan's mom loomed into my mind.

"WhArTT? ... the crap!??" =__="

The whole conversation:-

Brother's friend: hey! I saw your mother in school.

Brother: huh? where got?

Brother's friend: thereee... *brings my brother nearer to me, points at me* that one with long hair and blue t-shirt. Oh! and that one sitting next to her is your daddy ah? (and the person sitting next to me was David!! who is supposedly my brother's 'dad' & my 'husband'! )
[I almost fainted on the spot after he told me that! ..... dad, mom and sister laughing like crazy now!!!]

Brother: noooo! the one with long hair is my sister and the one sitting next to her is friend.

Reminder to self: never laugh at other people's mistfortune.

***

Told Jo at night online, and she said that we can come up with an "auntie"-club already!! DIE loh!

just some happy random thoughts

This week is the first week of school and as I can gleefully say that I am enjoying my holidays *laughs at those who are going to school tomorrow! bleks!* to the maximum; which obviously includes going-out for movies, loadsa lunch appointments..shopping with the girls and it sums up to: spending a lot of money - simply a girl's forte!

As I see my little siblings get packed for school, especially my brother which is the age of 13, meaning that he's in form 1 now, I've come to realize that he has grown so much, I used to see him at the gate outside, waiting for someone to open the door, in that horrendous yellow shirt, and blue shorts (his primary school uni) and now, he's actually wearing LONG green trousers and white shirt, and he's actually in secondary school. I don't know why, but somehow, looking at him going to school and all, reminds me of myself in form 1 again. ohkay, I was just wondering why I didn't get all this funny thoughts of myself when my sister started school.. and my answer, it was because I was in form 5, and still having loadsa fun in school. :)

Back to looking at my brother going to school and all, and he suddenly tells me this, "hey, che, you know what, I think I don't have time to do my music homework, so I think I'll bring it to school and I'll complete them there, while waiting for class to start." Right after he finishes, the thought of Melody, me, and a few others sitting in the canteen doing our last minute art homework. At that time, we were rushing like hell to finish our art homework, mind you our art teacher was Pn. Christine, and if you didn't finish her art homework, she will throw your art stuff outside, and ask you to sit outside to finish her homework, or WORST; she would make you sit down OUTSIDE the teacher's office to finish your art work. And yes we rushed like hell, but kinda think of it, it was fun. Somehow, art has always been my favourite subject. :p Pn. Christine was also kind enough to let our class do this handcraft thingy; called Pualaman. You have to use oil paint to make this pualaman thingy. It was SO NICE. hehe.. too bad the other classes didn't get to do it because, we kinda, messed up the art room, and teacher didn't want the rest to repeat what we done. :p And ALSO, in form 1, she taught us how to make the 'tembikar' out of clay. It was so damn fun!! and then, in form 2, she even taught us how to do batik! :p It was DARN FUN! :)

And then, my brother continues with, "hey, che, must I pass this homework up tomorrow ah?" my answer, "ummm... dono".... he continues, "but I don't have this subject tomorrow..." "Then no need loh!" and then, the thought of respect popped into my mind. I remembered, in form 1 back then, we used to be SOOO afraid of teachers. kakaka. and then we went to form 2 and later up to form 5, hah! no one gives a damn, as in we weren't rebellious and all, well, a little, but then, we were not like.. afraid of teachers anymore and all.. you should know what I mean. And not only respect for teachers, I remember when I was in form 1, I didn't dare walk past the seniors classes - was scary okay. hah! NOW, kids nowadays arr, they are actually sending love notes (hahahahha... I remember back in form 2, this girl; [won't reveal her name here] used to throw in love notes into class, to one of my classmates! It was damn hillarious! The guys would be making funny noises, and then we would be the busy body ppl reading the note.) and also, I remembered that Joshua Tan used to have this whole troop of girls aka his fan club following him around school. hahaha.. if you ask me, now to do those stuff, I wouldn't have the guts to do so. :p

After that, he goes, "hey che, what should I join ah? Interact Club ah?" (FYI: normally, if he asks too many questions, I'd either ask him to shuttup or ask him to ask someone else or either ask him to eat his rice. But I didn't. Amazingly, I wasn't at all pist with him asking me so many questions.) and I answered his question with a 'duh'-face, and fortunately he was smart enough to understand the face I gave him. :p And suddenly the thought of visiting them during their agm would be a great idea. muahaha. go spy on them see how they handle the club. :p nalah. we just wanted to pay them a surprise visit! *whee. so we visited them today, and the members in our club, aiyah no need to say lar.. we have the biggest number of members compared to our sisters school, and I can see that the members are still growing - which is good. :) wish to list down some of the great memories I used to have in the Interact Club, but it'd be too lengthy also. But all in all I really enjoyed myself being as an active member and also a BOD - "service above self."

just some random happy thoughts about growing up in secondary school. :)

can't believe that classes are gonna begin so soon. reality check, "I-am-no-more-on-holiday-I-am-no-more-on-holiday-I-am-no-more-on-holiday" *chants* great! final semester in A levels - that's fast.

picture of us having lunch in Just Pasta on Tuesday
(L-R) - me, David (who came late), Li Peng (who's working nearby) and Jolene.
