It's a seriously colourful life

Dream-catchers

2011-09-02T00:39:00.006+08:00

And of course after a 6-month-long hiatus and blogger-block, I am back just for a lil while to talk bout something. Well, obviously I'm here to talk to bout something; that's exactly what blogs are for.

Anyway, ever had a dream?

No, scratch that, everyone has dreams. Unless you're one of those dead-as-a-log sleepers who don't dream bout anything at all (gosh, you have no idea what you're missing). I kid, I kid. I'm not talking bout those kinda dreams. Not the "series of thoughts, images, and sensations occurring in a person's mind" kinda dreams.

I'm talking bout dreams, the kind that you have as a kid, and then as a teenager and then as a young adult, the kind that you wish and hope will happen. This kind:

"a cherished aspiration, ambition, or idea."

People are taught to think about their future when they're still mere kindergarten kids. They are asked questions like, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Most of them have ridiculous answers like, "I wanna be a princess / race-car driver /etc." Then grown-ups look at them, amused and tell them that they can be whatever they want to be; you just have to work hard!

Years pass, and you're in your last year of primary school and you get asked the same question again. Your choices have matured. Some of you say, "I wanna be a teacher / doctor / scientist / etc." And some of you still stick to your kindergarten choices.

Start of high school and a lot of you want to be rich and famous or do what you love like being an actor, a singer, an artist, etc. This is when your teachers start giving you funny looks and tell you that you can't do it and try to direct you to choosing more "sensible" jobs.

Suddenly, you're at your last year of high school and again you get asked that question, seriously this time. Some people long for others to ask them, some people dread it. It's true that one is probably the most confused about their future when they are in their last years of high school, when the future is actually standing right there, ready to greet you and take you on a longer, harder journey. Some of you start considering more mature choices like, "I'm going to be a surgeon / accountant / biochemical engineer / lecturer / etc." Teachers are happy that you are so ambitious and ready to chase that much more sensible dream.

And some of you still stick to your start-of-high-school dreams. The "impossible" ones. The ones that make your teachers cringe.
And you are so intent on chasing that dream that you really don't give a * about what other people think. Whether your parents support you or not, you're gonna go for it.

It's those people that have stuck to that impossible dream, those people who risked everything, those people who chased it, those people who succeeded in catching up and grasping it, that deserve respect.
The ones that became wonderful actors, singers and artists, doing the things they love.

But of course, respect also goes to all the other people who in the end reached success, whether or not they like what they're doing.

I know a few people who had wonderful dreams at the start of high school and ended up changing their minds in the end. Most of them just decided that it was safer to be sensible bout their future jobs, to not take any risks, to just earn the money and live their life. Others were discouraged by their parents. And others just suddenly had epiphanies and realised that from being an actor, they wanted to do actuarial science instead.

I feel quite sad that some of them gave up their actual dreams to chase new logical ones. But I won't judge their choice because in the end, it is their choice and I respect that.

But I am glad to say that since kindergarten I've always wanted to be an artist. And after high school, I am joining an art course. And I will be what I've always wanted to be and do what I've always wanted to do. Fortunately, I have the support of both my parents, all my friends and a few of my teachers. I know it's not gonna be easy and I might lose some hope along the way, but I'm not going to let that dream out of my sight, not even for a minute.

It's a lil too precious.

I'm taking a break from doing my annoying load of prefect work. And so, I will tell you about my awesome Saturday....which was two days ago.

I read something somewhere on the internet that said something like, "You have to have bad days in order to appreciate the good days." And that's exactly what I thought to myself on Saturday. It's quite amazing how good that day was. It was just a normal day with friends and it was just......fun. And I was just so very....happy.

So I shall describe my good day and if you're the sorta person who just can't stand other people being so happy, I advise you to maybe go back to your Facebook-ing or maybe turn off the computer or something.

Anyway, my Saturday started off like this:

So we've got Andrew looking outside the window, part of Jasmeet's head, Nishanth's back, Lydia smiling at the back and HOLY SHIT JASMIN. Love the face la. Oh and Nat and Kok Yan are hiding. Boo.

That picture up there is only part of the Editorial Board of my school. These people, including me, were chosen to go for the School Magazine Workshop organized by HELP Uni and we were all pretty excited.

The whole car journey to HELP was just plain noise. My dad, who was driving, was just like -_____-
He was probably thinking, "DAMN KIDS. MY SATURDAY MORNING IS RUINED." But anyway.

Sooo, we reached HELP and realised that we were one of the three schools out of 20+ wearing normal clothes. Everyone else were in their school uniforms or Ed Board t shirts (how intimidating). And there we were, in our t shirts/checkered shirts and jeans with our sling bags standing around, looking quite embarrassed. BUT WHAT THE HECK WE GOT OVER IT COS WE STOOD OUT YEAHHH
We were cool :P

Signed in, got a random piece of paper with a number on it, filled up some forms and proceeded to the theater.

See how everyone's in their school uniform?!

Suckers.

And how we're the odd ones out?!

Cool.

Anyway, once we were all settled in, Mr. Dhanesh, or should I say Uncle Dhanesh (since I've known him since I was a mere toddler) gave a welcome speech

and all went well until we were split into groups according to the numbers that we were given when we signed in.

Let me tell you this, I don't think much bout making new friends. But when faced with a situation where I do have to mingle around and talk to people I don't know, I'd rather not. Okay, to sum it all up: I'm anti-social. I feel awkward around new people and when I actually try to be sociable, they just look at me all weird. Probably cos I make very lame remarks that end with an awkward smile or......you know what, let's carry on.

So we were divided into groups and each group was sent to different lecture halls for an ice-breaking session. I hate those words. Ice-breaking session. The first thing that comes to my mind is me on a frozen lake and someone purposely knocks the icy surface with a hammer and the ice cracks and I'm trying to run away but the crack is catching up with me and it gets bigger and then the ice actually breaks into pieces and I fall into the freezing water.

yea ._.

Luckily in the theater earlier, I somehow made a new friend, a girl from St. Mary's and she got into the same group as me. So we walked together to the lecture hall we were supposed to go to and I didn't feel so awkward.

The ice-breaking activity that all of us had to go through was the famous newspaper dance, but instead we did it on mahjong paper. Oh yea, you're probably thinking, "pffffft, mahjong paper, so easy." HELL NO

We were divided again into groups of five. So is a mahjong paper big enough? Not really.

Yeah, that lil white thing at the bottom of their feet is the mahjong paper after being folded in half bout 4 times.

The joys and wonders of climbing on people just to get to know them.

This all lasted for bout 15 minutes and then we were back in the theater with everyone else.

So the day went on smoothly. Got a lot of info from the talks given, one of them by Mr. Siva, or Uncle Siva (cos he too has known me since I was a mere toddler).

Explaining fonts.

Lunch break was awesome. Actually, aren't all lunch breaks awesome?

Had the whoooole place to ourselves :D

How deceiving.

He just can't accept the fact that there's no door.

AWKWARD TURTLE TIME with a terrorist at the side

With Gabby from Stella Maris :D

And the day pretty much went on like this. And I'm quite sure you can feel this happy vibe from all the pictures you just saw.

I loved that day.

And to top it all off, I had a really good Lit class with Lydia, Cassie, Andrew, Kean Hua and the new girl, Kimberly from WMS!

Let's end this post with Andrew making a funny face.

✌☺

The whole of Friday afternoon. The whole of Saturday. The whole of today.

Could have been used to study.

Could have.

But nope. My gut feeling told me to hang out with friends, stay on the computer, go to the mall, read books. And then my mind told me to feel the guilt. No, it made me feel the guilt of not studying. Buuuut I wouldn't do anything bout it. Just sat there, feeling pathetic and stupid and lazy and then I'd continue doing other stuff to keep me distracted from the guilt. And it would all happen again. And the cycle continued. It's even happening now.

My Add Maths book is in front of me now, just staring at me right in the face. I feel like slapping it away but then I'd feel the guilt again.

This post is going nowhere.

There's one more week and a day of exams to go through. Then that'll be over and I can focus on more important things in my life at the moment, like Ed Board work, prefect work and my art. I haven't drawn a proper picture in more than a month and I'm starting to feel a lil worried that I've lost my skill. It's a horrible feeling. So once exams are done, I'm gonna let the creative juices flow until it drowns the whole world!

Okay that sounds a little disgusting.

It's gonna be midnight and I have an English exam tomorrow.

My internet just got installed again and I've been on the computer since 8 pm. Thank God it's English tomorrow and not some stupid Add Maths paper. I haven't had proper internet for bout 2 and a half weeks, and I was just getting used to it. Getting used to sitting outside my room more and reading more and also studying more (omg). Then the unifi people came to the house today and installed, what I call at the moment, the lovely monstrosity.

Intervensi 1 has been going on for two days already. Two days, and I'm already dying. But I guess the dying part's my fault since I didn't study. At all. For the exams. I feel bad but at the same time, I really couldn't care less.

Anyway, exams go on until the end of February and then it'll be March and I'll say "Gosh, how'd I enter the third month of my last year in high school so fast?" and then I'll get all emo and try to spend as much time with my friends as possible and not let any of it go to waste.

As if.

I'll probably be sitting in front of my computer (unless the internet gets cancelled again) and refusing to go on any outings with anyone cos I'm a grumpy, anti-social girl who has issues with laziness and a tendency to take 2-hour-long naps everyday in the afternoons.

Okay, on a brighter note, the 2010 school magazine got distributed today and everyone seems to like it and I'm very happy with that. Not wrong to feel a lil proud bout something once in awhile. After all, Nat & I did put a lot of hard work into that 176 pages of pure awesomeness.

I think it's 176 pages.

❀ It's already 12:07 a.m.

I'm entering my third week of Form 5 life with a terrible sometimes-phlegmy-but-most-of-the-time-dry cough, unfinished homework, tired eyes and a fear of being scolded by someone because I haven't finished with the decorations for my lil English corner in class yet since I'm the English AJK. I DON'T HAVE TIME TO DECORATE, I GOT OTHER THINGS TO WORRY BOUT GAHHHH

Right now I'm taking a break from all that essay-writing (what am i talking bout. i've only just done 4 paragraphs)

*mirror image

Which is quite an accomplishment for me since it's homework and not an exam of some sort.

I only ever write well during exams because of the pressure. It's impossible for me to finish a karangan panjang on time if it's homework because I've got so many distractions. Damn distractions. But this is a new year! And with that, I will finish this karangan panjang and be able to pass it up tomorrow. But let's continue this blog post first.

I just realized I have less than a month before my first exams start, which are, unfortunately, on Valentine's Day. Not that I celebrate it. ....well, okay I do, but maybe not this year since nothing seems to be happening with the love part of my life *cough cough cough phlegm cough cough
But I pity the other Form 5's who currently have a significant other and feel all frustrated that they can't spend that special day out with them or whatever.

I became the vice president of the photography club in my school! :D
Quite happy.

Anyway, I found out yesterday that they were giving out Justin Bieber's concert tickets in BV2. I also heard that some people actually camped outside BV2 the night before. Is this true? lol
I won't be surprised if someone shoots JB while he's performing. I mean, we have some pretty crazy people here in Malaysia. And anyway, if he doesn't die by getting shot at, he'll probably lose his life by being suffocated by all girls below the age of 16 who are strangely obsessed with him. And when I say strangely obsessed, I actually mean that they're willing to kill anyone in the name of Justin Bieber.

Writing this is already making me feel a lil wary of my surroundings.

Who knows, there might be a strangely obsessed JB fan hiding under my bed right now, knife in hand, ready t- *slicing sound

I'm alright, I'm alright! I totally got her. Now where should I put her body....

You only have one life.

This morning, I walked into school, put my bag down at the prefects' corner, and was told, "En. Zainuddin, the SKBB headmaster passed away last night. Heart attack." Tell me, how many of you have walked into school and the first thing you hear from a schoolmate is that your primary school headmaster passed away?
It was indeed very shocking news and I didn't believe it at first cos the person who told me was smiling.

He was smiling.

Before I go on, lemme just say

Rest In Peace, En. Zainuddin.

I never really talked you or gave you a Teacher's Day present.

Dunno why I feel kinda bad now.

But whatever right? Hope you're enjoying heaven now.

The news spread around and I'm quite disgusted to say that most of the people who found out were pleased, or they couldn't be bothered or they just laughed. Seriously, have you no sense of respect? Yeah, we all know he wasn't such an impressive headmaster, but that doesn't mean he wasn't a good person. That doesn't mean that you get to say that he deserved to suffer a fatal heart attack in the middle of the night.

I had responses like

"OMG! Now SKBB will finally prosper!"

"What, seriously? Oh well, life goes on."

"Gasp! I can't wait to tell my mom the good news!"

Really, no hard feelings to the people who said those up there and who are probably reading this now, thinking, "Wtf la Shannon" but, honestly, have some respect for the deceased next time.

You wouldn't want people saying things like that about you when your time comes, would you?

And it's the weekeeeeend!

First week of school: done.

Which was pretty fast, if I do say so myself. This whole week hasn't been easy. On the 2nd day we already got our first batch of homework. And because teacher said so, we had to write the number of days left til the dreaded day on the whiteboard, which just adds to the pressure.

Today was one of the busiest days of the week even though it was a Friday. And you know, Fridays are for........chilling. But nope, not for me. Ran from the assembly grounds to the first block and back like a million times to get errands done. Returned to the assembly grounds, out of breath to find out where the sports houses AGMs were. Hurried to the surau where the Bendahara meeting was held, along with my fellow Bendahara mates (whom I love dearly) and I could tell everyone was feeling really pumped bout the whole thing.

Semangat Bendahara ftw.

I was one of the few candidates for captain of the house.....which really really surprised me. Jezreel got the captain post in the end (the whole house put their hands up. even the other candidates, including me, rushed into the surau again and cheered). We could tell he was really pleased and everyone was really happy he was. He really deserves it. We're all here to help you out, Jezreel. You're definitely not alone.
And I used the word "really" too many times in this paragraph. Really.

So I got picked to become the treasurer, which (according to Shipren) I humbly declined and asked if I could become the head of design again instead. Luckily the teachers said yes. That made my day. This will be my third and last year as the head of design for Bendahara. Therefore, I'm gonna outdo myself, if that's even possible, and everything will be good. Everything will be good.
I've already picked the people who are gonna be on my team and I really hope they cooperate with me. We'll see bout that next week.

Anyway, bout the rest of the day. Had more prefect errands to do right up til the last period of school, in which I retreated to my class, feeling quite relieved that I was able to finally sit down properly. Everyone was already in the midst of doing Maths exercises and I felt quite lost. So me and some other prefects in my class decided to ask teacher to teach us again. Was quite pleased with myself that I understood and got to work.

Right now, I've got a little pile of homework sitting next to me. And it's just calling out to me and maybe I should get it done soon.

........or I could go upstairs and watch a movie with my mom.

This is amazing.

2011-01-04T21:57:00.002+08:00

On the first day of school, I got stung by a bee.

No, actually, let me correct that.

On my last first day of school, I got stung by a bee. After all that time being in that school, walking casually down the corridors with bee-like insects flying above me, I never once got stung. Until yesterday. THAT GODDAMN BEE

And it's not like I angered it on purpose or anything. Not like I had this urge to swat it out of the air while it was flying around merrily, like some of the heartless people I know.
........I got stung cos it landed on my head. And it being a natural reaction, when I felt something on my head, I immediately lifted my hand to inspect what had landed on it, and I felt something furry. Okay, obviously it wasn't like a bunny kinda furry

lol can you imagine a bunny on my head

It was a bee kinda furry

GAHHHHHHH

And then I heard some pretty angry buzzing sounds coming from the top of my head and the next thing I know, my index finger on my right hand is burning like a ___________ and I'm actually swearing under my breath and squeezing my finger until it feels like it's gonna come off because of my squeezing and not the sting and then Su-Yi (who had been standing next to me the whole time) told me the bee had flown away.

The bee had flown away.

And I'm like, "WHAT. WHAAAAAT?! gaahhhhhhh swear swear swear" on the outside and in the inside, I'm like, "WHAT. WHAAAAAT?! gahhhhhhh swear swear swear DO I LOOK LIKE A FLOWER TO YOU, YOU STUPID INSECT" And then Nat and I rush to the toilet to wash the bee sting and my finger's throbbing, ACTUALLY THROBBING, and it feels like a hot needle is being pushed into my finger and coming out the other side. And then the pain died down.

And then it came back again.

Then it died down again. Thank goodness.

What a way to start my last high school year.

last. cue tear-filled googly eyes

I'm gonna burrow my face in my pillow and try not to feel sad now.

That picture just made you cry, didn't it.

Think of something to write here

2011-01-01T23:33:00.002+08:00

On second thoughts, I don't think I'm gonna write any New Year's resolutions cos of fear that I'm gonna jinx all of it. My belief in Murphy's Law is great. And since I have nothing to write about now, here's a picture I took for you to look at before you exit my blog:

and I be walking down the street with swagger, you won't know where ta look.

2010 in a blog post

2010-12-31T23:42:00.004+08:00

I pretty much have about an hour to write this post before it becomes 2011.

So.....2010. It was one of those years that passed by too fast. Everything was a blur and I'm actually having difficulty thinking of the rest of the content for this blog post (since you know, everytime a person blogs towards the end of the year, they talk bout the events of that year and how their dog/cat ate their carpet, etc. .....yeah, you get it.)

But before I go on, lemme talk bout New Year's Eve.

It was like any other normal day.

I woke up (Nat woke up too since she stayed over), had McDs for breakfast, walked to school, talked to the magazine publisher, got a ride back home from Hannah, had lunch, sent Nat back home, took a nap, played tennis in the evening.

Then it was time for the NYE dinner. Andrew Y. came over. He stayed till 10. This blog post is getting boring, I know. Had a Philharmonic Movements talk and discussed the plan for 2011 and also the rough design of the t-shirts we're gonna make.

This post is getting really boring. I feel myself actually falling asleep.

I'm spending the rest of New Year's Eve by my sad lonesome self.

*cold wind blows dramatically*

And I'm not just saying that cos I don't have any friends to spend it with. I do know that family counts too. But I am literally spending it with nobody. My mom's gone off to Prof's house. My dad's fast asleep. Even my maid's gone out to spend it with her friends! The only one left is my brother, who's being an utter nuisance at the moment and who's also glued to the iPad.

So I'll be doing the countdown, right here, in my chair, in front the computer, by myself. And then I shall go to sleep.

And now, lets start with the talk bout the year 2010.

It was a bittersweet year.

I shall talk bout the bitter parts of it first:

Form 4 Pure Science Stream is horri-bleh. Probably the worst part of growing up and being an upper former in high school. But I must admit, study-wise, I really treated this year as a honeymoon year. I rarely studied, I focused more on prefect duties and designing the magazine. I didn't have the slightest care for exams and therefore, my marks were always horrible (except for English of course). I finally had a taste of Add Maths. It's poisonous. To think that I have to go through all this again but in Hard mode next year is sending chills down my spine.

Losing the marching competition during Sports Day. But I expected it anyway. I failed Bendahara this year. As usual, I was focused on other things. But next year, I swear I'll give it my all to create the best props you will ever see. It will be my last year after all.

Being in a relationship which ended after 4 months. Not a long time but still.

And now let's brighten things up a lil bit with the sweeter parts of 2010!

4 Dedikasi was a terrific class.

Bendahara. Through this sports house, I made two new friends who would play bigger roles later in the year. Those two new friends being:

Andrew Yong & Nishanth Selvalingam.

One of them being my boyfriend of 4 months and the other, my best buddy. Your guess. Or is it obvious? But whatever. It's all long gone and we're all on good terms. And that's cool I guess. I really had fun with these two the whole of 2010. You guys are awesome.

The relationship that ended after 4 months. It was good. I enjoyed it while it lasted. Thanks for those brilliant 4 months.

The Prefectorial Board in which I was chosen to become the Secretary 1 for the year 2010/2011. I love this group of people. It's being a prefect that makes me want to come to school everyday, just carrying out duties and contributing to the school. Plus we have cool uniforms.

Philharmonic Movements is the best dance group ever to be created in my school. And I'm part of it.

Just hanging with my friends. They made this year worthwhile. Heck, they make my life worthwhile!

And so much more things. So much.

This is where this blog post will end.

There's 18 more minutes til 2011.

I'm gonna countdown by myself.

I'm happy for those who are spending this time now, with their loved ones.

You shall see me again tomorrow with my New Year Resolutions.

Happy Early New Year.

Just so you know, that picture of the wounded leg isn't my leg. LOL

Dad: Wow, look at this building's architecture. How to describe it? "Rustic"? Maybe something else...
Shannon: Balinese.
Dad: ....good word.

So I stayed in Bali for 8 days. Nothing much to go on about since we practically did the same thing most days. But there were quite a few interesting things that happened during this trip.

The Monkey Forest in Ubud is amazing. I just wanted to stay there the whole trip.
My parents, brother and I went cycling for bout 15 km, downhill, with guides of course. Which resulted in me riding myself into a freaking huge drain (with a tree growing in it too), slamming my abdominal area on the handle bars of the bicycle, stopping myself from slamming head-first into the brick wall in front of me after that, and then finally sinking into the murky, brown water that was obviously in the drain. Dad came to the rescue while my brother stood there laughing his butt off (karma will get to him sooner or later) (sooner would be better). So I got dragged out of the drain and the guide was horrified and he kept apologizing when it wasn't even his fault.
Moving on.
Wait not yet.
I then realized that I must have had some kind of wound/bruise from that trip to the big bad drain. I felt my face first (yes, vain. i know. but wouldn't anyone check their face first?). No pain. Then I felt it on both my legs. I look down and see this:

And it hurts and it hurts and it hurts.

And I'm just joking.
It appeared that I had no real serious wound where blood was gushing out by the litres. Just a very red bruise down the side of my right leg. And another smaller bruise on my left leg (and later on I checked, a small bruise across my tummy). I couldn't cycle the rest of the journey, so I hopped into a van that was being driven by the other guide. And drank lots of water.
........
Why the hell am I writing in bullet-point form?!

Because I had injured myself, I couldn't go white water rafting the next day. Oh yeah, I know in my previous post I stated that I would never in my entire life go white water rafting because......you know what, just read here. Yes, you can click that "here".
But I had changed my mind bout the whole white water rafting thing and that I should and would try it.

And then I went and I had that cycling accident.

I guess that's God telling me that my change of thought bout the white water rafting was a bad idea.

So my brother and dad went for it without me.

I went to the Monkey Forest again and witnessed a monkey's attempt at mugging Prof. The monkey jumped on Prof's shoulder and reached into her shirt pocket, closing its little hands on her credit card holder and also some money. But Prof was too quick for it. She held on firmly to her belongings and tried getting the monkey off her. The monkey gave up after awhile and jumped off her shoulder.

Or did it?

The monkey tried climbing a second time but again, Prof was too quick (that's the monkeyness in her) for it. And the monkey finally left her alone.

Prof -1

Monkey - 0

HAH! TAKE THAT YOU SIMIAN

Okay that's bout all the interesting things that happened during the trip.

Photos of the trip may be uploaded on Facebook. Just maybe.

Did I mention I was filmed there too?

Here's a screencap from the movie.

Oh and

BEST GODDAMN THING IN BALI BESIDES THE MONKEY FOREST.

HAI-YAH!

Right now I'm also actually drafting a post bout Bali.

Brace yourselves.

This is probably going to be the last post you see from me.

Ever.

I KID, I KID.

I'm going off to Bali tomorrow eaaaaarly in the morning. And yea, I'll be staying there for a week.
........a week in a hotel villa thing next to some paddy fields. What I'm going to do there? : Harvest rice for the family.

No joke.

I'll be going to Bali to harvest rice. For. The. Family.

I'm still joking.
I mean, about the harvesting rice part. The me-going-to-Bali part is real. And the staying-there-for-a-week part is real too.

Anyway, the hotel I'm staying at doesn't have any wi-fi cos they haven't set it up yet cos the hotel's still pretty new. My parents think my brother and I won't be able to survive there without any access to the World Wide Web. Therefore telling us beforehand that they'll take us to any cyber cafe we come across over there. Spoilt brats much? But yeah, I'll show them that I can live without the internet for a week!
My brother? Well, I think he will die from the internet deficiency and he'll definitely grab hold of that cyber cafe chance.

So it's gonna be 5 nights in Ubud and 2 nights in Seminyak. Okay, fine, that isn't really a week. It's more like a week + 1 day. But whatever, same difference right?

My dad and brother are planning to go white water rafting over there and they asked if I wanted to go or not. I said no. Cos I have this horrible fear of falling off the raft/boat thing, hitting my head on the rocks, passing out (or dying), and the current just carrying my body until it gets stuck somewhere...then my body will be left there.....and no one will be able to find me..............................worst case scenario: I go to hell instead of Heaven.

Hopefully, because of the lack of internet usage, I focus more on my art. That's what usually happens anyway. I draw more when I'm in some other country.

This is the end of this post. See you guys next week.
Nuffnang, please don't put the advertisments to sleep :(

Extras:

I be havin' a potpourri christmas tree on ma shelf to make ma room smell nice.

(I have more books, yes.)

& I be drivin' this car when I turn 17.

Peace out. ✌

This is pretty much boring.

I'm waiting for my dad to pick me up from home and send me to Nat's place WHERE SHE'LL BE HAVING A PARTY TONIGHT YEAAAAAHHHH

I watched a lil of The Sorcerer's Apprentice just now. Jay Baruchel makes me laugh. He's quite adorable. The movie's okay la. I mean, it's a feast for the eyes cos there's some great CGI. The story's very....common. Common = Predictable. But still, there's Jay Baruchel, so...

There is absolutely no point to this post. So I dunno why I posted it.

And I dunno why you read it.

More interesting stuff later.

Yoo-too-beh

2010-12-18T14:24:00.003+08:00

When the videos you watch on Youtube turn out like this:

It ain't right.

My Youtube just started working again. And yes, I'm pretty happy that it's started working again.

Not that I'm a Youtube addict or anything. It's just that it's kinda sad when someone wants to show me an interesting/funny video, and my Youtube refuses to load.

I had to go through that for 3 whole days. No joke. (insert serious-looking face here to add to the whole atmosphere)

3 whole days of Andrew Y. sending me links to all these dance videos (which I enjoy watching btw) and him feeling all disappointed when I tell him again and again that my Youtube doesn't wanna cooperate with me (I think he felt disappointed. I'm just saying.)

Then I decided to reset my modem. Yeah, I know, only after 3 days I decide to do that.

I have this strange belief that resetting the modem always makes things work better. No matter what the problem is. And lo & behold! My Youtube starts working again :)

Plus my internet moves a lil faster. It's like a wake-up call.

However....

When my Youtube started working again, this:

happened. ~~And I was flabbergasted.~~

I thought it was pretty cool.

I kept moving the cursor back and forth and back and forth along the bar thing to create more of those lil black speech bubble stuff with annotations in them.

It was quite fascinating to watch.

Kinda reminded me of the time I used to use Windows and that would always happen whenever I moved a window from one part of the screen to another part of the screen.

And I'd make pretty patterns that swirled all around.

Anyway.

It was soon fixed by clicking Refresh. And I could watch that Plant vs Zombies video properly, without any disturbances.

Fun fact: Shannon Chan Ziali was first introduced to Youtube in 2006 (or it could have been 2007 or 2008) by Andrea Gan Giannelli, Giuliana Gan Giannelli's older brother. And the first time she saw the link, she read it out as "yoo-too-beh" and was corrected by Andrea (Gan Giannelli) right after that. She was embarrassed and wished the earth would just crack open and swallow her up there and then.

P/S: LOL @ anyone who tried clicking the play button when they saw the Youtube picture up there.

Just a song.

2010-12-16T22:39:00.001+08:00

I came up with a song last year with Lydia.

And then I forgot bout it.

It goes something like this:

No I didn't write this for my neighbours. I like my neighbours.
I just thought of a really catchy tune and then I started writing these lyrics with help from Lydia.

We should totally get signed to a record label.

I got no title for this one

2010-12-16T00:05:00.001+08:00

My toenail came off.

Yes I know it sounds painful. ~~But worry not! It isn't as painful as it sounds~~. Who am I kidding. It hurts like a __________. I was gonna put a very vulgar word instead of that blank but I don't swear on my blog (unless there's an occasion like when someone pisses me off or something), so I'll just leave it up to you to fill it in yourself. Isn't that fun? :D

Yeah, so my toenail came off and I thought putting a band-aid would help ease the pain a lil but of course I was wrong. And then my mom said that we were going to OU cos she wanted to get a necklace or something like that.
I didn't even think of wearing slippers. I mean, I never wear slippers to a mall cos I feel like it makes me look shabbier than I already am. So,

I put on my shoes and get into the car - toe feels fine
The whole car ride - nobody moves their feet a lot in the car, so toe feels fine then
We reach OU, I get outta the car - toe feels fine
We start walking around OU - toe starts to feel uncomfortable
We walk some more around OU - toe starts to hurt
A lot.
I go to a clothes shop to try on some jeans - omg, the pain was....wow.

But I got used to it after awhile.

And now I'm sitting here, being as careful as I possibly can, trying not to knock my toe against anything. There's no band-aid anymore btw.

My brother kicked my toe.

Me typing out the word "toe" a lot is making me forget its meaning.

toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, toe, wtf is a toe?!

Anyway. I made cupcakes today. Vanilla cupcakes with chocolate icing and rainbow-coloured sprinkles. Okay, I didn't make them myself. My mom helped.
Okay fine, it's more like my mom made cupcakes today and I helped. Along with my brother.
They turned out pretty fine. 12 pretty fine lil cupcakes.

I shall go now.

Bon Appétit!

2010-12-13T00:30:00.002+08:00

I finally watched

today, after wanting to watch it since forever (actually since August).

But I never really found the right time. Cos what I heard from Prof is that you CANNOT watch this on an empty, growling stomach (cos this whole movie's bout the food *chorus of angels*). And you're probably thinking, "Then watch it after a meal or something. What's the problem?"

The problem is, I can't stand looking at food, or even smelling food after I've eaten.

I start to feel nauseous.

And a nauseous Shannon ain't good.

Nuh-uh, it ain't good.

So anyway, after a very long time, today, a light-blub went *ping!* in my head and I thought

"Why not watch it while eating?"

Brilliant idea. Positively brilliant.

Why hadn't I thought of it before?

So I went to my kitchen (this was lunch-time btw), heated some mash potatoes from last night's KFC dinner, along with some coleslaw, mixed them in a bowl, went upstairs, found the dvd, put it in the dvd player and pressed play. My mom came up soon after that.

I love the movie.

But it was a lil sad that, while Julie Powell and Julia Child were cooking serious food like boeuf bourguignon [bæf booŖ-gee-nyawN] in the movie, I was sitting on my parent's bed, cross-legged, with a bowl of mashed potatoes mixed with coleslaw in my hands. It was actually a lil torturous. But the movie was good nonetheless.

And I better go to sleep now. I've gotta go to school tomorrow. Yeah, I know, school during the school holidays?!

Oh I just got a G12. I dunno why.

bye.

hey that rhymed

YOO-DE-LEH-HEE-HOO GUESS WHO'S BACK

2010-12-11T22:52:00.005+08:00

Yes, I know it's been agessssss since I last touched the "New Post" button, let alone think of something to blog about. Everytime I click the "Blogger" button on my bookmarks toolbar, I just search for new updates on the blogs I follow. At first, when I saw the new updates from various blogs in that box at the bottom of the Dashboard, I did feel a lil guilty for not even trying to click the "New Post" button that was staring at me right in the face. But the feeling soon faded cos of my laziness of thinking of something to write.

I've obviously gotten my blogging mojo back yet again.

The last time I blogged was bout a week before HP7 was released in the cinemas (oh btw that was one heck of a good movie. the only things I found a lil inappropriate were the Harry/Hermione touchiness and also the scene where Ginny and Harry made out in the Burrow's kitchen. triple ew. I can't stand Ginny's face. other than that, the movie had some really subtle humour and I couldn't help noticing some stuff that made my smile wider than it already was when I entered the cinema. oh and The Tale of the Three Brothers' animation was marvelous. anyway, moving on.) and that wasn't even a proper blog post! I mean, it just consisted of a picture. But not just any picture, mind you. A picture of the lovely HP trio, holding hands and looking, obviously, lovely.

All hail J.K. Rowling. She's a goddess.

Besides that, the other movie I absolutely adored was none other than HP7's rival at the box office,

Holy crap, the animation for this was superb.

ALL THAT HAIR

Yes the whole time during the movie I was picturing myself with all that blonde hair and also eyes as green as hers.

+ she's one bad ass Disney princess armed with a frying pan.

I must say, Mandy Moore has a very Disney princess voice and it just suited the character and everything.

But sadly, Rapunzel wasn't my favourite character in the movie (actually now that I think bout it, my favourite characters in most movies are never the main ones. e.g: I hate Harry Potter. But I love Luna, Fred and George). I think the characters that really stole the whole show were

Pascal

Maximus

And Mother Gothel.

Even if she was the villain.

I'm gonna be watching this again. Hopefully.

And yet another movie I recently watched was "Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader" but I'm growing tired of talking bout movies already.

But lemme say this,

British accents (Y)
Skandar Keynes (Y)
Eustace as a dragon (Y)
Pretty Lucy Pevensie (Y)

I never read the Voyage of the Dawn Treader, so I have nothing like "THAT WASN'T IN THE BOOK, FUUUU" to say bout the movie. But I did read

The Magician's Nephew
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
Prince Caspian (only halfway)

It'll be cool if they made a movie out of The Magician's Nephew.

Okay, I'm actually sleepy now. And I've gotta wake my brother up for Wushu lessons tomorrow morning. GAH

Nighty-nights.

Through thick and thin

2010-11-12T23:49:00.000+08:00

OH HAHAHHAHA JUST ONE MORE DAY.

Badum-badum-badadadum

2010-11-04T09:47:00.001+08:00

Exams can really screw with your mind ~~sometimes~~ all the time.

But all's good cos I've only got 2 days left and then it's FREEEEEEEDOMMM! untilnextyearwhichisSPMyearohcrap.

I've already run out of things to say.

Clearly, being famous isn't everything, Mr. Potter.

2010-10-30T15:04:00.000+08:00

ON AN EXTREMELY BRIGHT AND HAPPY NOTE,

HARRY POTTER'S COMING TO THE CINEMAS SO SOON.

I know, it takes some time to read that line up there, cos it's all colourful.

Right now, the theme song's playing and I feel so fired up. But at the same time, I feel kinda sad cos I never want it to end. But good things never last, do they? Worry not, they'll always last in our hearts :)

BUT ANYWAY.

On the 27th of October, a whole bunch of us decided to surprise Giuli for her birthday. The whole thing was planned by Farhana S. and Giuli's beloved boyfriend, Montana. This whole surprise thing was done a day before her actual birthday so she didn't suspect anything. So anyway, Farhana gathered all of us and we proceeded to The Social where Giuli was already having dinner with Montana.

When we reached there, we (obviously) surprised her. It was a good surprise. And now I'll let the pictures do the talking.

It was a pretty awesome night, especially for Giuli :)

Oh, this is what I did for her as a birthday present!

Well actually I did that drawing in March and when Giuli saw it, she honestly fell in love with :|

And to her, it's "one of the best drawings" I've ever done in my life.

Aaaaaaand since she likes it so much, I decided to give it to her.

I've never done something like that before. I've never given anyone one of my original drawings. And it's the original copy! So be proud, Giuli.

This is what it looks like btw:

Oh speaking of exams (actually I wasn't. this is just a sudden change in topic)

The only thing I have to say is this:

Additional. Mathematics. Can. Go. Die.

And reincarnate as something less meaner.....like a butterfly or a snail or something.

Okay that's it for now.

Hear, hear

2010-10-24T13:04:00.000+08:00

And it's been forever since I last clicked that "New Post" button. I admit that many things have happened that were blog-able but due to my sloth-like behaviour these past few months, I've never really got around to doing it until today. And even now, I'm not gonna blog bout everything that's happened. Just a few things, here and there.
.........things I remember. LOL.

Right now, exams are going on and I don't even know what I'm doing online. But then again, I don't even know if anyone's actually studying.

It seems that this year has passed by unusually fast. I pretty much screwed this year up. I didn't study. I didn't learn much in school. The only things that have kept me going are the designing of the school magazine and being the new Secretary 1 of the Prefectorial Board. School's gonna end in 3 weeks and I'm not ready for it to end yet. It seems like nothing much has happened this year when, truth be told, SO MANY THINGS DID. Most of them unexpected. I'm not ready for 2011 yet.

*random off topic remark / I've got 2 BM papers tomorrow.

Prefect Dinner was held in Boulevard Hotel, KL, two weeks ago I think. It was awesome. But I felt that last year's dinner was a whole lot more exciting than this year's. I mean, the performances last year were epic. And that's probably cos we had more time to practice. But still. Dancing to Thriller and Beat It was an experience man. This year, we just......sang. And the songs were slow enough to put people to sleep. But oh well.

*another random off topic remark / I was high last night. And I mean, I couldn't even walk in a straight line

I need to watch The Corpse Bride again. And read the Harry Potter series again.
I need to clean my shelf and tidy it up and in the midst of doing so, get distracted by my Monster Allergy comics, take them off the shelf, sit in the corner and forget that I'm actually supposed to spring clean.

I already sat for for 2 English papers last Friday. It was horrible. Okay, maybe not that horrible, it's just that my story was so predictable (i ran outta time) but I guess my writing was okay. The guided writing, though, that was good. And that's probably what re-awoke my inner blogger self after such a long time. I had such fun writing bout ways to save electricity. I hope my teacher smiles when she reads it.

I need to watch all the Disney classics again.

Oh, my birthday was good. For those who didn't know, it was on the 4th of October. Thanks for the belated b'day wish in your head.

Okay, toodles.

Inspiration.

I don't want to sit for exams, they're a waste of time.

I don't want to study, that's a waste of time.

What I want to do?

I want to sit in a wide, green field and draw my life away.

oo ooo oooo

2010-09-26T11:34:00.000+08:00

Exams are in a month unless they've been brought forward.

Have they been brought forward?

Cos if they have,

that would suck.

...just here for a little stroll before this blog changes completely.

2010-09-15T15:33:00.000+08:00

I'm real tempted to remove my chatbox on the side my blog cos I'm getting these really annoying spam messages from...well...spammers.

grrrraarrghhhh

No title

2010-09-11T21:37:00.000+08:00

I wouldn't mind having a twin.

The first week of the Raya break is coming to an end. For most schools, there's still another week of holidays and for others, they're going back to school this coming Monday. Which is sad for them cos they were probably just getting used to sleeping in and going out shopping or whatever in the afternoons. Oh well, sucks to be them.

But I'm not gonna lie, I'd rather go back to school this coming Monday than wait another week. Home is just....boring. Plus I don't like the fact that I'm waking up later and later each morning. I mean, all that time wasted on sleeping! Gotta wake up earlier tomorrow.

I visited Kinokuniya in KLCC today and it was good to finally step through into that sacred bookstore. MPH and Borders will never reach the same level of magnificence as Kinokuniya. Kinokuniya is just....

Anyway.

Got two new books and now I'm a happy child.

You see, it just takes two books to make a kid like me happy. Cos that means I've got something to do other than study, draw or lay on my bed and stare at the ceiling. I've been laying on my bed and staring at the ceiling a lot these past few days. But that shall end!

*abrupt ending*

It's my dad's 8th day in Tibet now. He's out there ridin' with his Chinese homies on icy roads with his helmet visor open at 12 in the morn. Go, dad.

He sent me a message saying:

"Monks a daily affair. Tibetans very nosy. They will touch every switch on the bike and will climb on if not looking. You read a map and suddenly you have company also looking at map. Like monkey!"

Sounds like fun. Haha

My dad also said that there was one night where it randomly snowed and he was so excited. And happy.

That's all for today. Or rather, that's all for tonight, readers.
Cos I've been busy staring at the computer the whole day and editing photos of teachers, my eyes feel like they're gonna pop outta their sockets anytime soon.
........and I don't wanna be holding my eyeballs, trying to get them back in.

I just had a very amusing thought of the (His Holiness the 14th) Dalai Lama in his orange monk robes trying to get on my dad's BMW motorcycle.

GOODBYE.

Ah, a two-week break from school. ~~What am I gonna do?~~ What a stupid question. I've got tons of things to get done and I don't even know where to start. But I guess the holidays started off good.

Attended Geraldine's Sweet 16th on Saturday with the whole group.

Happy Sweet 16th again, Geral! :D

We've been friends for a loooooong time.

Let's keep it up.

Went for a movie with Jasmeet, Koshla and Nat yesterday (i can't believe i watched phua chu kang the movie). Played pool for the first time (and i suck).

Anyway, Blogger has this new thing now: Stats

And even if I feel kinda sheepish saying this, I love it. I mean, I get to check how many pageviews my blog's gotten for the day/week/month/all-time and it makes me feel good cos right now the numbers are pretty high. *joy*

Okay I shall go now.

2010-09-02T21:34:00.002+08:00

So I'm in OU's Delicious now. I've got nothing to do here except wait for my awesome chocolate cake to be served.
That's all.

This post is completely pointless.

Can't touch this NANANANANA

2010-08-30T00:30:00.001+08:00

My dad's off to Tibet tomorrow on a biking expedition with his (cina-fied but cool anyway) biker gang. It'd be cool if he got to see the Dalai Lama but unfortunately, Mr. Dalai Lama isn't at home but in India at the moment cos the Chinese from China are persecuting him. Or something like that.

Must be pretty cool (no pun intended) living up in the mountains of Tibet and waking up to fresh, freezing air every morning and going about wise, slow, daily routines and spending the rest of the day meditating.

....that's what the monks do...right? Or have I been fooled yet again by the movies I watch?

Honestly, nowadays everything seems to be based on movies. Or rather, movies seem to be based on everything. Am I making sense?

You ask someone of this generation, "Why is it so?" or "How do you know?" and they'll answer, "Cos I saw it in a movie." or "Duh, didn't you watch *insert movie name here*"

Not that I'm dissing films and the movie world. I love movies. I mean, I couldn't live without em. Otherwise what would I be doing during the holidays and with my friends? Even my mom can't live without movies. Movies are wonderful.

Well some of them are.

Actually I started writing this post just to let anyone who's reading this know that my dad's super cool cos he's going biking in the Tibetan mountains for 3 weeks.

And that when he comes back, I'm getting my Blackberry. hehehe

It's 12:30 a.m. I should go to sleep.

You funny man, Mr. His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama.

ATTENTION.

I wonder if anyone reads this blog anymore...

Well, it does say that I still have 29 followers. So I guess those people up there still bother reading what I have to say even if I don't update as long and frequently as last time.

I think :x

This past week has been lazy, yet hectic (how is this possible?)
Oh I forgot to mention that this whole month of August, my class and 4 Cekap were to sent to participate in this Merdeka choral speaking thing with 18 other schools. Only some us stayed back in school cos of stuff and because 3/4 of the 2 classes aren't there, we haven't really been having classes. So, actually, this whole month has been pretty relaxed for the 12 of us who stayed behind.

I'd like to see the teachers rushing to finish the syllabus for this year. It's gonna be pretty hard. And I'd also like to watch us students catching up on our studies after a month of not really opening our books.
Okay, you know what, I'm not looking forward to it at all.

-

I think I've become a more serious person after getting an exco post in the prefect board. Even my other fellow excos are taking things too seriously. Let's all relax a lil. Loosen up.

Pft, it's easy to say.

Anyway, I'm sorry to anyone whom I've appeared to be moody with. I don't mean to ignore you or snap at you or give you one-word answers.

Now I shall go to sleep and dream of pretty things.

2010-08-25T20:00:00.008+08:00

Long update:

L-l-l-llama

Well honestly, nothing much has been happening except that I'm obviously back from the land of hopping kangaroos and tree-hugging koala bears and yes, I did quite enjoy my stay there even if it did get a tad bit boring.

There are a few things that I'm looking forward to though as the year is slowly coming to an end. And you've probably read this in every blog you've visited (unless this is the first ever blog you're reading. in that case, i feel quite flattered that you picked my blog to visit to start your blog-hopping frenzy, so kudos to you. but this whole situation is highly unlikely. i should continue where i left off) but I'm gonna say it anyway:

Where has 2010 gone?

This has, in my history, been the fastest year ever. The months flew past in a hurry, as if to alert us fourth formers that we should most probably start bucking up (this is meant for the ones who aren't very constant in getting their A's in exams. e.g: me) in our studies and really start taking this pure science stream seriously cos SPM's waiting just around the corner with a scythe in hand and a malevolent smile to go with it. SPM is Death's other name.

Anyway, I was talking bout what I'm looking forward to, no?

Since it's the month of over-exaggerated patriotism, my school (along with all other schools in my district) is having a celebration and there'll be performances and the students get to dress up in ~~sassy~~ traditional clothes (the dressing-up part is not yet confirmed). I'm gonna be there waving the mini version of the Jalur Gemilang like an idiot and screaming the lyrics of all the Merdeka songs that I can remember. Ah, the things I do for my country. So yes, I'm quite looking forward to that. It's next Monday by the way.

The next thing will be my (yes, my) Geraldine Andrea Gayondato's Sweet Sixteenth party on the 4th of September and I'm very excited. The only problem is that it's gonna be held in a swanky place and I don't have any clothes to wear D:

But no worries, I'll find a way. So, Geral, if you're reading this, prepare yourself for a dressed-up Shannon and maybe a present to go with that dressed-up Shannon. I can imagine you clapping gleefully right now.

After that will be Lydia's Sweet Sixteenth (14th September) but no one knows the plans for that yet except Lydia herself. I think. So I'll just wait until I'm given the invitation with golden borders and my full name written in beautiful cursive handwriting.

Then comes Andrew Y.'s 15th birthday (24th September) but I dunno if he's doing anything. Are you, Andrew?

Then comes MY Sweet Sixteenth on the 4th of October. Oh my God. I don't even know what I'm gonna do yet.

THEN IT'S PREFECT DINNER. WOOYEAH. Can't wait for that.

And two days later will be my (yes, they're all mine) Jasmeet's Sweet Sixteenth.

Then year-end exams. Joy.

Then my (like i said) Giuliana Gan Giannelli's Sweet Sixteenth but that'll probably be during the exams. AWWW D:

Okay I'm gonna stop there cos the further I go, the more I realize that the year really is coming to an end and now I feel ~~emotionally unstable~~.

So for now, you can

Bye.

You have just found imponderable joy

Malaysia gov't probes alleged slurs by school head

2010-08-21T11:46:00.002+08:00

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – Malaysia's government ordered an investigation Friday into complaints that a school principal told students from the ethnic Chinese minority to leave the country and labeled prayer beads used by ethnic Indian Hindus as dog leashes.

Allegations that the ethnic Malay Muslim headmistress of a high school in southern Malaysia made the racial slurs at a school assembly earlier this week have sparked an uproar in this Malay-majority country, which has struggled in recent years to resolve concerns among minorities about discrimination.

Education Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said a special panel would investigate the case after outraged parents filed police complaints against the principal, Siti Inshah Mansor. He said the headmistress has apologized but was ordered to go on leave.

"We want to get the facts right. As of now, emotions are running high but we must be fair and have the correct information before we can decide on the next step to be taken," Muhyiddin said.

Police have said the principal could be charged for "provocation," a crime punishable by to up to two years in jail.

School officials declined to comment, and Siti Inshah could not be contacted and has not spoken to the media.

Malaysian media have reported that the complaints against Siti Inshah claimed she said "Chinese students are not needed here and can return to China."

She was also accused of saying that "for the Indian students, the prayer string tied around their neck and wrist makes them look like dogs because only dogs are tied like that."

Lim Kit Siang, a lawmaker from the opposition Democratic Action Party, said Siti Inshah's alleged comments have undermined Prime Minister Najib Razak's campaign to promote multiracial harmony.

Malay Muslims make up nearly two-thirds of Malaysia's 28 million people, while ethnic Chinese and Indian who mainly practice Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism comprise most of the remaining population.

The races have lived alongside each other amicably for decades, though many Chinese and Indians have turned away from the ruling coalition in recent years amid unhappiness over perceived economic and religious discrimination, especially over affirmative action programs that benefit Malays in business, jobs, education and housing.

Sigh. See what race and religion does. Why can't we just live peacefully with one another?

Ahhhh I've just finished packing for my trip to Australia. Well....kinda. I've finished packing just the clothes.

Anyway, I haven't been updating much, I know. Well here's one, finally.

I have been given the secretary post in my school's Prefectorial Board and now I am the Setiausaha 1. With Su-Yi as the Setiausaha 2 and my fellow secretary friend :D

I want to congratulate

Abhirami Selvarajah

for getting Head Prefect of prefect batch 2010/2011!

We have your back, always.

& also a congratulations to

Nurul Huda Aqilah & Lydia Chan

for getting Assistant Head Prefects 1 & 2!

Plus, a thumbs-up for the other fellow prefects who got EXCO posts, assistant EXCO posts and to the probates who are finally prefects. We'll show them that we're awesome.

I'm leaving for Australia tomorrow and the best part is that I still have to take my Maths exam in school before I leave. How nice. I haven't even practised my Maths yet and therefore, am not ready for the Maths exam tomorrow. Yeah, yeah, I know a lot of you are thinking, "BUT MATHS IS SO EAAAAASY". Well screw you. I hate Maths (eventhough I might be a lil a good at it). But I hate Add Maths even more.

Anyway, I should probably go to sleep now. Or go practise my Maths. Or maybe make my what-to-bring-to-aussie list.

I'll go with the first option.

& I don't mind owning a pair of shorts like these:

Today was the most boring day of my life.

Because I'm an optimistic bugger and my optimism shines

2010-07-28T17:55:00.001+08:00

BUNDABERG ROOT BEER.

So there's this new girl in school who's an exchange student and she's from Germany. She's gonna be staying with us in Malaysia for a whole year and right now, she's receiving 110% attention from almost everyone cos, well,.....she's a white in a government school. And not only that, she's a blonde. And she's super tall. Which makes her obviously stand out among us black-haired Asians, towering over us.

And she's in my class and sits behind me.

Well since everyone has been creating this human wall around her like she's this interesting new specimen, I hadn't really gotten the chance to talk to her (yea and she sits just behind me wtf) until today. She's real nice and all. We teach her BM while she teaches us German and it's pretty fun.

Nat, Syahirah and I learnt how to count from 1 to 10 in German today! It goes something like this...

Eins
Zwei
Drei
omg i don't remember 4
Fünf
Sechs
Sieben (i think)
Acht
don't remember 9 either
and 10 starts with the letter Z.

All in all, it was a pretty interesting lesson with her. Oh her name's Melina btw.
And since I couldn't pronounce 2 and 10 in German properly (cos the way they pronounce the letter 'z' is different), she tried so hard to teach me and I kinda got it and she was so happy she started clapping.

Other than that, just another day in school. A lot of running around again and sweatiness. The norm.

Oh, and should I join the Dasein Art College competition? I'm supposed to redesign their logo or something like that and hand it in by next Tuesday. Dunno if I should cos right now I've got artist block and also if I submit the drawing and if I qualify for the workshop at that college, I dunno if I can go for it, since I'm going to Brisbane next Saturday and I dunno when they'll announce the qualifying round results.

:S

Day 14 A hero that has let you down. (letter)
No hero has let me down. The end.

⨝

I started listening to Radiohead.

2010-07-23T15:26:00.001+08:00

Day 13 A band or artist that has gotten you through some tough ass days. ~~(write a letter.)~~
Well, honestly, no songs have gotten me through some tough ass days. I mean, I've never really thought bout it. Listening to music doesn't make me feel any better. I just prefer to lie down and sleep.

⨝

I just feel extremely disappointed at the moment. I didn't get to wish the debators our school sent to KDU College good luck. Which sucks. Cos now one of em thinks I don't care. But I guess it's not too late to wish them luck now right?

Good luck, Lydia, Nishanth, Kabir, Wen Jie, Heng Hoe & Dharshanth!

We all know you guys will make the school proud.

Plus, I just got back home from school to find that I had noodles waiting for me but it was the wrong sorta noodles.

But other than that, the rest of the day was fine. Carried out an impromptu spot-check in one of the classes and it felt good finding phone batteries and other rampasable things. Had fun breaking perfume bottles with Abhi and Jasmeet and shattering compact mirrors at the rubbish dump behind school.

And now I shall go to sleep.

Arrrrr matey

2010-07-22T15:59:00.000+08:00

Day 12 Something you never get compliments on.
Well there're a lot of things that I never get compliments on. It'll be a really long list. I mean, I never get compliments on how good I fly or how good I lead an army or how nice I look with an eyepatch and a tricorn hat.

You know, stuff like that.

⨝

This is something I drew while watching the debate practice in school today.

I never liked Harry.

Niceties

2010-07-21T18:20:00.001+08:00

Day 11 Something people seem to compliment you the most on.
First, my eyes. Cos I dunno how the hell I got hazel irises but I do anyway. My eyes are my favourite part of my face. But the most annoying thing is that people always ask me whether I'm wearing contact lenses. Dudes, I already wear glasses (funky purple ones too). So, do I look like I need contact lenses?
I used to be all flustered when I got compliments bout my eyes. Now I'm just indifferent. Cos it's normal.

Second, my talent in drawing. Every single person who has browsed through my file has never failed to tell me that I'm good at what I do. Yes, I know I'm good. But not good enough, and I'll never be the best. I'm trying though. I practiced alot. And I still have a long way to go.

⨝

No updates for today.

Who knew Marion Cotillard could be so cute

Yes, this is what I watch on Youtube.

The Prestige.

One of the best movies ever by one of the best directors, Christopher Nolan.

Day 10 Someone you need to let go, or wish you didn’t know.
All the people who have appeared in my life have done so for a reason. Some reasons pretty obvious and some reasons still unknown to me. I do not wish to not know people I've already met, or even let them go. How can I if they've already left their respectful marks in my life, some marks bigger than the others and some marks so miniscule, they're hardly there (but they still are)?

Somehow or other, I'm glad to have met everyone who has walked into my life. Even if there're some who have already walked out.

This picture makes me laugh.

Nishanth's sad attempt at drawing a person on a bicycle and drawing another "person" standing beside the person on the bicycle.

Hang on just a moment

2010-07-19T20:26:00.001+08:00

Day 9 Someone you didn’t want to let go, but just drifted.
Oh there're a lot of people I didn't wanna let go. But somehow or other I did. But I do still hang on to those really special ones, even if we're not as close before or we don't tell each other everything now. We've all found new friends that we can confide in; more friends. But at least we're still friends and we still have our laughs, and it's nice when we actually sit down and catch up with what's going in each other's lives.

These people being Geraldine Andrea (first ever real best friend whom i refused to play masak-masak with in std 1), Joshua Ryan and Giuliana Gan. Even if we've drifted apart, we still somehow manage to find our ways back to each other and talk bout the good ol' times. I miss those times.

Day 8 Someone who made your life hell, or treated you like shit.
The person who invented exams. This boy but that was 2 years ago. And that's bout it. Cos no one really thinks too much of making my life horrible.

⨝

I dunno whether today was productive or not. Cos I did study my Bio (but not enough), I did complete two collages for the school magazine (but I've still got 6 more to go) and I did complete my Chemistry notes (but my stack of homework is still piled up high). So maybe today was just an.....in-between. Oh well.

I've got a new English teacher btw. Her name's Miss Rheitta Desmond. She's a trainee and she's doing her practical in my school. She's only gonna be with us for three months, but I can see that we're going to get very attached to her. Like how my class in 2008 got attached to Mr Kenny Simon. Yeah, I guess some of us still miss him. He was a great guy.

Looking forward to the English lesson tomorrow :)

And I probably should continue making those collages and reading those reference books.

Day 7 ~~Someone~~ People who have made your life worth living for.

My parents. They are beyond awesome. They're cool and sporting and I think everyone should be jealous cos they're my parents and no one else's. I mean, who has a lawyer who makes his own speakers and goes on biking expeditions in Tibet as a dad and a fluffy, English Literature teacher/lecturer as a mom? Like I said, beyond awesome.

My friends. Seriously, without them, who am I? They make me smile and laugh. They make everyday worth going through. And who cares if I've only known them for 8 years or 2 years or even just 6 months? They're still my friends. And they rock my world. You know who you guys are.

Nathalia Lim Huimin. She's like my unbiological sister. Everyone knows we're best friends. Everyone knows that we always stick together. Everyone knows that if there's only Shannon or only Nat, something must be wrong. I've gone through so many things with this girl who's the only other person who's shorter than me (hehehe) and we have done stupid things together. She has always been there for me, as I have for her. And it will stay that way.

Nishanth Selvalingam. This cocky, talkative, smart-arsed guy is the reason I get up each morning, bright-eyed and with a smile on my face. He's everything to me and I will love him even if things change. He's special. And we're cute. So deal with it.

Aunty Virginia. My maid who has taken care of me since I was 13 months old (or somewhere around there). I don't even think of her as a maid anymore, but a part of the family. She's good-natured and I tell her most things cos she's fun to talk to. I'm gonna be extremely sad when she leaves Malaysia to go back to her home in the Phillipines for good next year.

Prof Kimmie. Cos she insisted that I put her in this list. But anyway. She's super cool for a 42 year old. She doesn't even look 42. People have mistaken her as a 17 year old. Yeah, she looks that young. She's taught me that I don't need a DSLR or any of those super huge cameras to produce pretty pictures. She introduced me to Lomos and other film cameras which led me to get my Actionsampler I have now. If there's one word to describe her, it's: Cool.

I love you people.

⨝

Wow, Day 7 is a long one.

I'm gonna be watching

later tonight and I can't wait :D

Panels, panels, panels

2010-07-16T20:41:00.002+08:00

Day 6 Something you hope you never have to do.

Give a speech/talk/do something on stage in front of many many many people.

I've got stage fright.

⨝

So I got the developed Actionsampler photos today. And I'm quite pleased with myself cos this is the first time I'm using it. I'm gonna post some of the photos here.

Leyla :D

Best frieeeeeeeends :D

Hey, look, it's me!

I am, at the moment, in love with this part of my wall in my room. I dug up old pictures (well actually, my dad did most of the digging) of my family, picked a few that I really liked and stuck on them on my wall. All those people you see up there, I will forever love (except for that random swan, first row, second picture)

I heart my wall.

Day 5 Something you hope to do in your life.
To be an artist. To be a childrens' book illustrator. To work in Disney. To meet Tim Burton.

Those 4 things up there are at the top of the list.

But there're still those little things that I hope to do in my life too. Like lie in a huge field of grass in a cold country, holding hands with that special someone and just look up into the sky and make shapes out of clouds. I'd like to travel around Europe with just my wallet, sketch book, pencil box, camera and a backpack of clothes. I'd like to visit Brazil and Japan. I'd like to publish a book.

I hope.

2010-07-14T18:02:00.000+08:00

Day 4 Something you have to forgive someone for.
I've forgiven most people already. I forgive but I don't forget. But I'd rather not mention it here.

That's it for day 4.

⨝

Everyone should watch Nowhere Boy.

And people should stop pissing other people off just for the sake of pissing someone off.

Cheese.

2010-07-13T20:35:00.000+08:00

Day 3 Something you have to forgive yourself for
This I've never really thought about. I haven't done anything so drastic that I have to forgive myself. Myself.

⨝

Sometimes I just feel like throwing everyone into a pit of fire and watch them burn. And eat popcorn while I'm at it. By "everyone", I mean those stupid stupid stupid no-lifes from my school. Those who skip class all the freakin time, those who bring freakin cigarettes and lighters, those who steal freakin sports shoes, those who keep freakin porn in their phones. Why you gotta make our lives so hard? Why you gotta make your lives so hard?

This I don't understand.

In December, drinking horchata

2010-07-12T18:10:00.002+08:00

Day 2 - Something you love about yourself

The thing I love the most bout myself is my talent in drawing. In creating something from pure imagination and then just looking at the "masterpiece" and thinking, "How did I do that?" The other thing I like bout me is my humour. I find myself quite interesting sometimes. And I dunno why, but I like the way I walk in school. Yeah, I know, weird, but hey, today's bout me talking bout what I love bout myself :D

I never cease to amaze myself.

⨝

Little things make me smile.

Just for fun

2010-07-11T21:52:00.000+08:00

So I'm gonna do this 30 day challenge thing I got from Tumblr that goes like this:

    Day 01 → Something you hate about yourself.
    Day 02 → Something you love about yourself.

    Day 11 → Something people seem to compliment you the most on.

    Day 14 → A hero that has let you down. (letter)
    Day 15 → Something or someone you couldn’t live without, because you’ve tried living without it.
    Day 16 → Someone or something you definitely could live without.
    Day 17 → A book you’ve read that changed your views on something.
    Day 18 → Your views on gay marriage.
    Day 19 → What do you think of religion? Or what do you think of politics?
    Day 20 → Your views on drugs and alcohol.
    Day 21 → (scenario) Your best friend is in a car accident and you two got into a fight an hour   before. What do you do?

    Day 29 → Something you hope to change about yourself. And why.
    Day 30 → A letter to yourself, tell yourself EVERYTHING you love about yourself

And everyone's welcome to copy this from this blog and do it too :D

So I'm gonna start now, today.

Day 1 - Something you hate about yourself.

Well I'm gonna write more than one thing.
I hate the fact that I'm a coward. I do have have this little courage in me, but my cowardice is a whole lot more. Another thing is that I can rarely finish what I've started, whether it's a drawing or an assignment. I procrastinate too much. And the worst thing is, I do nothing bout it. I hate my fickle-mindedness. I hate that I'm a slight hypocrite (but hey, everyone is). I hate that I'm not independant. I hate that I pretend not to care bout anything half the time when I really do. I hate myself for being scared of being judged by friends, family and even strangers.

Done.

2010-07-10T12:27:00.004+08:00

Cos she made me name this post after her :P

School has been pretty interesting these past three weeks. Haven't really been in class at all for 15 days. Everyday there's something that needs to be done, from arranging students for photo-taking to running all over trying to find the school's delinquents to arranging discipline files and jotting down names of students who have not come to school for at least 10 days.

Everyday is tiring. And everyday I try to catch up on my school work/homework. The pile never ends. There's always something that needs to be done.

But other than that, my life is fine. My life is good.

My mom's finally coming back from her 2 week trip to England today. And she's coming back with gifts. I'm a happy girl :D
My dad's gone to Sarawak with his group of biker friends to the Rainforest Music Festival. He's gonna bring me along next year! Which is awesome.
My brother's staying over at his friend's house.
Which leaves me at home alone with my maid and the two dogs. Oh yea, I got a new dog, her name's Beatrix. She's the one on the left.

Oh, of course! Camp. I haven't really talked bout my Prefect Camp yet. One word: Awesome. Except for the fact that I fainted (gosh i'm prone to fainting now, aren't i?) and that last year's camp was better. But I'll remember this camp cos of some special reasons. Some people would know ;) I love my team, The Alpha Warriors and teammates: Leyla, Hakim, Shipren, Syaza, Zul, Fadhli, Hanif, Shaz, Marsya, Radhiatul, Aimen, Justin, Danial, Faranaz, Yarlini, Shaun, Aqilah, Victoria, and Afiqah. And even though we didn't win first place, at least we got second! :D Congratulations to Wolfz for getting first place btw :)

-

Right now I'm obsessed with Vampire Weekend. Their music is just so...... wow.

-

Day out tomorrow :D

-

Oh and happy 3 months :)

Time should just a take a break. Everyone would be happy.

2010-06-28T21:02:00.001+08:00

Okay, okay, I should probably update now. Wait, that is what I'm doing.

But this isn't going to be a proper update....again. Cos I've just got too many things to do at the moment.

Shannon's-many-things-to-do-list that causes her not to update her blog frequently

Eat
Sleep
Homework
Photo-editing
Ed Board stuff
Socializing
Facebook
Tumblr
Finish "The Calder Game" book

and lots more other stuff.

Anyway, the point of this post is....

I'm gonna be on hiatus until further notice.

Bye bye blog.

2010-06-20T22:49:00.001+08:00

I'll update bout my Hong Kong trip later.

For now, I'm just here to say that THIS BLOG IS NOT DEAD. I think.

I shall find my blogging mojo tomorrow, maybe.

It's gonna be a very eventful week. Class photos, club photos and the lot and Prefect Camp this weekend. Oh Gods (i've been reading too much Percy Jackson)

Okay, now to get started on holiday homework which is due TOMORROW.

Slant-eyed people

2010-06-16T00:06:00.000+08:00

Aaaaaaaand I'm leaving to Hong Kong this coming afternoon. It's gonna be my first time there and I'm looking pretty forward to it. It's gonna be a busy 4 days over on that island. I heard that it's real congested there, no space or time for anything. People forever lining up, the trains forever full, a bustling city that never rests.

Oh well.

~~See you guys in 4 days.~~ lol jk, I'm still coming online from over there and I may be updating this blog if I have the time. But then again, to any of you who wanna text me or call me, don't. Cos I won't be replying or picking up.

kthxbai.

2010-06-13T22:40:00.000+08:00

And this is just a random post, cos my post-count has reached 666 and I don't like the number 666. So with this post, the post-count will be 667. So happy 667th post!

So I wanna start off this post by saying...

2010-06-13T21:56:00.001+08:00

HELLO AFTER LIKE 4 DAYS!

Yeah, so the holidays right? Pretty good so far. I guess.

Nat and I went went for Cempaka's Beauty and the Beast! (that was the first time we went for a Cempaka Production btw). And boy, we didn't think it would be that good. But seriously, it's worth your money and I'm definitely going for next year's one.

Me with the cool programme book.

And holy crap, I had never been to Cempaka Cheras or any of the other Cempakas at all until last night. I was impressed. I mean, I'd seen pictures before and stuff and the school looked grand in those pictures, imagine being there, in the building itself! Ahhhhhh

As you can see, I think very highly of Cempaka.

Anyway, so we entered the huge auditorium, took our seats and the show began.

Pure awesomeness.

For a school production, it was so good and so professionally done. The orchestra was real pro and the people acting on stage and the singing and ahhhhhhh

I should probably stop now, shouldn't I?

Favourite: Lumiere played by Teoh Jun Vinh

Oh we got to shake the choreographer-of-the-whole-production's hand, Miss Judimar Hernandez who was also a former So You Think You Can Dance Malaysia judge. Her daughter might be joining my mom's tuition centre (y) And she's cool.

Okay that's bout it.

And I'm ending this post with a picture of ice-cream-licking Stitch.

Is it me or are 12 year olds and 13 year olds more dramatic than ever?

The world is ending.

I, on the other hand, am as happy as can be. Life is good.

I don't wanna remember no enzymes

So I guess they've already finished filming the epilogue of Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince.

It's so sad that it's all gonna end already :(
