It's Over.

This is so frustrating.

Back for the moment, peeps!

After 252 posts with gazillion photos for 2 years and 1 month, this blog has officially reached its end. The image memory has been used wisely. I see my posts grow more in content and maturity as time passes me by. My love for blogging grew more and more. But, sadly, my Cbox isn't just as "happening" as it should be. Maybe I should stop blogging, I has said to myself.

However, I am not calling it quits just yet.

I got you, huh? :D I wouldn't stop what I love to do most easily, regardless if no one reads my blog anymore or people hate me. So, I continued my blogging in another new blog:

CLICK HERE!

I tried to use the same URL by doing some stuff behind the scenes, but due to some complications, I couldn't. I'm sorry if it troubles you, but I would like you to kindly re-link me. I won't be going blog by blog leaving a message and my new link at your Cbox. I'm just too lazy to do so. :P Oh, and to those of you who are owners of private blogs, please re-send me an invitation to read your blog at my email, joellecst@hotmail.com.

This is my last post on this blog, and more posts to come at my new blog. :)

P.S: This was supposed to be up on December 1, but I was caught up with stuff. :D

Sunway Lagoon With The Buddies.

Summer crumbles are love. :)

Holla!

I went out to Sunway Lagoon with Sis, Zhen Ni, Wei Qin, Denise and Sek on Wednesday (October 25). Justin and Sze Jie couldn't make it as planned due to personal reasons. Sis and I were an hour late cause there were some complications, and we are still sorry that we couldn't be there to pick Denise and Zhen Ni.

Anyways, I had fun with them. All of them made me ride Tomahawk, the ride that goes 360 degrees, as soon as we got in there. The first ride to start off the day without breakfast and with my fear of heights. Then, we proceeded to other rides and we were desperate to get wet, so we spent most of our time at the water park. We didn't take much pics cause we left our belongings in the lockers. Oh and speaking of that, something funny happened. 20 cents! *inside joke* And photo credits goes to Zhen Ni. Definitely ditched my DSLR at home cause I didn't want to risk it getting wet.

Us after changing, before proceeding to Sunway Pyramid around 3 pm.

We headed straight to Jusco's food court cause everyone was starving, except for me. I was just dying for a cold drink. But in the end, everyone forced me to gobble something down. So, Zhen Ni dragged me to get some sushi and I managed to fill my tummy with 3 sushis.

Sis.

Yours truly.

Denise.

Wei Qin, the BFF. :)

Sek, who had Wan Ton noodles, claypot chicken rice, Kit Kat and some weird Japanese food all at a time. Yeah, he was THAT hungry. :D

Watched Disney's A Christmas Carol with the girls after our meal. The guys had to leave early, so they didn't join us. I LOVED the movie! It was so awesome, although I haven't get my hands on the book yet. I would definitely watch it over and over again every Christmas. Correction: I love DISNEY movies. I loved how every single one of them brings out so many emotions in me and made me feel like a kid again. I laughed, cried and got scared while watching that movie. So Sek, why didn't you really like it? :(

YouTube update!:

Posted up another cover on YouTube. Covered Good Girls Go Bad by Cobra Starship featuring Leighton Meester. I enjoyed doing the cover, so I hope you guys like it. :)

Love this cover of Fly With Me by the Jonas Brothers done by jaredandmarissa. The dude, Jared plays drums, electric guitar, bass and piano. The girl, Marissa plays the piano and took over the lead vocals. Awesome cover, I must say. :D

Submitted my cover of Fifteen by Taylor Swift for the YouTube's Got Talent 2009 finals. I got selected as one of their finalists, but I didn't make it to their confirmed finalists. Well, at least I was one of the finalists. Thank you for watching my videos and increasing my views for that video. :)

An acoustic cover of The Great Escape by Boys Like Girls on AOL Music. And I'm currently in love with Paul DiGiovanni, the super cute lead guitarist of the band. I posted this on my Twitter page: "Dear Paul DiGiovanni (@paulBLG) of Boys Like Girls, I think you're VERY cute. Love, a fan you've never met before from Malaysia. :D". I hope he reads it. And I think that Martin Johnson is cool. I love the way he blogs (http://www.martinsays.com/). But no worries, I still love Joe Jonas the most. ;D

That's all for now. Until my next update, toodles! :) Take care everyone. Have a good holiday.

P.S: Christmas is just less than a month away. Yipeeee! :D

Heartache.

Broken edges.

The room is in pin-drop silence. The whirling of the fan blades and splats of rainwater on the window filled the still air with rhythm. The cool breeze that swept past the cracks of the half-closed door gave tremendous goosebumps to the epidermis of the skin. I sat in bitterness, watching droplets of water slip down the glass.

Where is this road taking us?

We are going no further, nor nearer. Go straight ahead, like what people would advice. But no. We just have to take detours along our journey. We just have to pick up the pieces of mistakes others left in a trail and find faults. We just expect people to know what are on our minds and care for us. We say stupid hurtful things that get us all into a brawl. We put on an immature act to have others notice us in their very eyes. These are all unintentional but could be avoided, if both parties would gladly raise the white flag and give in.

Is this all worth it?

What happens if this is the reason for broken hearts and lost friendships? It is such a shame to throw something beautiful and delicate into a trash can. It takes years to build one tough friendship, and to get at least on true friend is one in a million. However, the immature acts and harsh words spat tore down the bridge to one's friendship in an instant.

So where do we stand now?

Having to see us crossed with each other isn't a pretty sight at all. One slight misunderstanding/mistake could lead us into a conflict, thus makes us say words we swore we will never say to that particular person. Tears of anger and sadness would be shed, leaving us standing at opposite sites bitter.

Would there be a chance to turn back time?

Maybe it is not about you and me all these time. Maybe it is about me and my foolish acts. I am the one trying to travel back to time ever so desperately to rewind back the fond memories I had throughout this year. I became an ass, a jerk, an idiot; anything you would like to address me. I put on an act in front of almost everyone I knew, because I couldn't find me. I have been searching for who I truly am for 16 years, and yet, still no luck. I don't know if I will ever find the real me, the real life that I want. For now, I am living a life full of pain and sadness deep inside, but on the surface, I make life as lovely as an island vacation. I feel lost at so many points of life, as though I am standing on a street with loads of signboards telling me where to go to next but I am never sure of which way to take. I take the wrong ways all the time.

Do you feel my pain?

I have taught myself to keep everything away from everyone this year because someday people will get sick and tired of the sad emo life you made. Have this ever crossed your mind? Somehow, I stopped believing that your true friends will be there through your ups and downs with you because no one did show me that quality of a friend. I have only very few friends that will be there everytime I needed company, but like I said, they will too get tired of sticking around with me after some time. They have their own lives and problems too. So why not take a chance to stand up on my both feet when I can because as I grow, friends will be outworn, just like your shoes as you grow older.

Keep it to yourself.

Don't tell me some bullshit after reading this because you have no idea what am I ranting about all the way. I am just being crappy and moody like I have been throughout the year. You may call me a bitch or a drama queen, but you have no idea what I have gone through, so shut up and move on with your blissful life. I don't if anyone's ever gonna read this, but this is what that has been on my mind for a few months and I am glad that I have the opportunity to let part of it out. You have no idea how good I feel now. Not good, just better.

Go ahead and waste your days with thinking

When you fall everyone stands

Another day and you've had you fill of sinking

With the life held in your

Hands are shaking cold

These hands are meant to hold

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong

Move along, move along, like I know you do

And even when your hope is gone

Move along, move along, just to make it through

Move Along by the All-American Rejects

But you don't know what you got til it's gone

And you don't know what it's like to feel so low

Everytime you smile, you laugh, you glow

You don't even know

No, no

You don't even know

A Little Bit Longer by the Jonas Brothers

Holding on, the days drag on

Stupid girl, I should have known

I should have known

That I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairytale

I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet

Lead her up the stairwell

This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town

I was a dreamer before you went and let me down

Now it's too late for you and your white horse

To come around

White Horse by Taylor Swift

It's been awhile since I cried like this.

Before It's Too Late.

Travel back to time.

Hey guys! :P

How's your weekend treating you? Mine's just plain awesome! :D Went to Sunway Pyramid yesterday to watch the 11.30 am show of 2012 with Aunt Yvonne, her boyfriend and Sis since Mom and Dad are still in Guangzhao, China. They also paid for my breakfast (popcorn + large Coke) brought me and Sis for lunch at Sakae Sushi and bought us Cecilia Ahern's The Book of Tomorrow. I owe them big time. :D

Rating: 9/10

This is an amazing movie, like seriously! I was at the edge of the seat all the time, literally. There were a few scenes that made me sob silently in the dark theater hall. The movie reminded me to appreciate the people that are dear to me because you would never know when the world would come to an end. Well, I kinda believe that the world might end sooner due to the excruciating climate change, but not too soon. So, live life to the best before everything comes to an end. :)

Today, Aunt Yvonne and her boyfriend sent me to Subang Parade for my one-hour piano replacement class at 12 pm. After that, I headed back home and watched telly until now. At the meantime, I tweeted and watched videos on YouTube. Now, this is what I call a perfect Sunday.

PLEASE CHECK OUT Shauna's rendition of What Hurts The Most by Rascal Flatts. It's her first cover she uploaded on YouTube, so if you would like to comment go, click here. :)

That's all for now, peeps. Keep checking in for more updates. Have a great holidays and don't put the free time to waste. :P Goodbye for now!

Year 2009's Last Day Of School, November 13.

Time.

The remedy for broken hearts.

What's up, peeps?

Apparently, yesterday wasn't my last day of school cause I went back to school today to finish up the rack we built yesterday with the Scouties! :D Ah, my all-time favorite peeps. :)

Today, there are more pics compared to yesterday cause yours truly, of course, is the photographer on-duty today. :P Grab the pics, but remember to give the credits. :)

Sis so-called being shy. LOL.

Zhen Ni concentrating on tying the wood.

Kelly, Denise and Sze Jie taking a break.

Sze Jie and Denise.

Denise used the wood on purpose to cover the huge pimple on her nose. :D

People at work.

Guo Hao doing a last-minute check on the rack.

The rack with the woods.

We dug holes in the ground to make a draining system so that water will flow efficiently to the drain during the rainy days.

All our hard work paid off. :)

Such an awesome thing to do to end the schooling days of year 2009. The Scouties made my day, like always. :)

Joe Jonas looking hot, SMOKIN' H-O-T! See the DSLR he hung on his left shoulder and the football he's holding on his left hand? We have the same passion: football and photography! How awesome is that? 8D

Oh, currently I am addicted to Tap Tap Revenge and I can't help but to play everyday. Dang, even my thumbs are sore from the game. :P And and, tuition classes are officially over for the year too! TGIF. Fridays are loves. ?)

That's all for now peeps! Have a great holiday and enjoy them before the next year begins. To the SPM and STPM candidates, good luck and all the best to you guys. :)

Love this cover of Fireflies by Owl City. This girl, Tiffany Alvord is amazing! :D

The Rain Falls, And The Pain Is Gone.

Stab my heart and watch it bleed.

Hello, world! :D

I had a great time in school today. Skipped class the whole day and brought my another baby (my DSLR) to school instead of Joe (my guitar, FYI). Spent the entire day with my Scouts peeps rebuilding the rack for our woods.

Didn't take much pics of the process of digging holes, finding woods/stones and doing knots this time cause my hands were coated with a layer of mud to show you guys. But anyways, we would never leave without a pic if there are cameras around.

Anyways, the pics today are mostly taken by Kelly, Sook Yin and Sis. Grab pics and give credits, please! :)

The rack. Managed to stack all the 12 feet woods and tied the flysheet before it rains heavier.

Tze Haur, who just returned from Aussie, came to lend us a hand. :) He stayed the whole day with us.

Guo Hao fixing the flysheet to prevent more water from entering the shed.

The school was flooded with water until the water level covered our ankles around 3.30 pm or so. We had fun waddling and kicking in the water while we made our way to the canteen from the back of the school. Denise, Johanna, Zhen Ni, Sis and I went another time around the school compound with our reason of "helping teachers" if any disciplinary board teachers asked.

Oh, what a great way to end the schooling days of year 2009. Gosh, the year is coming to an end. :(

The peeps. :)

Nothing can tear us apart, not even the heavy downpour.

.:.:.:.:$[u]E t[E]nG:.:.:.:.

Both hands tied behind my back for nothing

Oh no, these times when we climb so fast to fall again

Why we gotta fall for it now?

I never meant to start a war

You know I never wanna hurt you

Don't even know what we're fighting for

Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield?

Fifteen Belongs To Yesterday, Sixteen Belongs To Now.

Go straight ahead. Never take detours.

Oh, reminiscing sweet old memories from year 2006 never feel so good. Remember that I promised a tear-jerking post up next? Ah... So here is it.

Tuning into the song Fifteen by Taylor Swift.

10:03 PM Oct 20th from web

On the night of October 20, she took off a few minutes of her study time to tune into Fifteen by Taylor Swift, reminiscing the 15 years of her life. The clock is ticking away, regardless if she wants to stop time and erase all the bitter memories she had and repeat those happy memories. Barely laying her eyes on the time, she still kept in mind that she is going to be another year older when the clock strikes midnight. She knew time is the best remedy to heal a broken heart. Like so many other teenagers with their raging hormones, she is still searching for her real identity, sometimes not knowing where she stands in this cruel world filled with heartbreaks and lies. Torn apart of everything that happened upon her, she held back from shedding tears as the song comes to the last chorus.

Cause when you're fifteen

And somebody tells you they love you

You're gonna believe them

And when you're fifteen

Don't forget to look before you fall

I found time can heal most anything

And you just might find who you're supposed to be

I didn't know who I was suppose to be

At fifteen

-Fifteen by Taylor Swift.

Okay, that is so not the initial plan for today's post. I just felt like doing some writing to start off the post. :D

A best friend of mine I've known for 4 years (and still counting on) had blown candles off the birthday cake (it's just a metaphor instead of saying birthday) on October 21, which is the first day of the finals of year 2009. She tuned into Taylor Swift's Fifteen while taking a break from studying on the night of October 20.

I still remember our first conversation. That was during Scouts Recruit Camp year 2006, when we were cooking lunch (Maggi noodles, to be specific) under the sun. We were in the same patrol, and none of my friends were in the same patrol with me, so I saw a lonely soul (like me!) and started talking to her. I approached her like a shy kid, said hi and give a self introduction. I was shocked that she speaks fluent English and she was from Chinese school. That was the first culture shock I got ever since I stepped my foot in the gates of high school. She started telling me about stuff, and I was lucky that my friends were in different patrols. And it was the time when she realized that there was two of me. It's hilarious to see the look upon her face when she knew!

Year 2007 was even better! It was my first time in an actual marching team. Sis and I bonded with her better. CFN preparation was a blast too. We worked on props, mainly the roof of a kampung house. We always have massive chats and soon, we were best buddies. And she did something I would never forget for the rest of my life. I was so thrilled until I screamed when she called me to share the good news with me. And I hugged her the next time I saw her and thanked her. You know what I mean, do you?

The following year was even better than year 2007. As Form 3s, we sort of dominated the Muda board. I still remember the Annual Camp, when we hid our cell phones and 100 Plus. Oh yes, the "100 Plus incident". Thinking about it is enough to give me a good laugh. And that is when we were watermelon dudes, jakuns and hooligans. Ah, the good old memories. Remember Enrollment Day when a bunch of us invaded your house and cut off badges together and took tons of pics in school before the event? It was a blast.

The best year of high school, so far, this year when we were Remajas. The Valentine's Day project was a good one. Then, the Earth Hour Party gave her an idea to celebrate events together. Speaking of the party, I loved the Twister game the most! Then there were yum cha sessions after meetings every Saturday. I remember during the first outdoor camp we had back in May, I was her Pikachu. I was a bad one for not writing letters to check on her frequently. Remember abseiling? I was crying and you were there to encourage me to accomplish the task. It was really brave of you to finish the task too. And the super awesome sleepover we had in her "hotel room" the night before the day we Form 4s took over. We were running to school the next morning cause we slept at 2.30 am! Oh, and the secret meetings we had at her place before Enrollment Day. Ah, the year has been a good one for us.

Wrapping up things, I have so many things I wanted to say but never had the chance to. You know what, you are an awesome person. I would describe you as a mature girl your age. Seriously, you have some deep thinking there. Like what my Mom said, you are a strong person inside out. Honestly. I've never met anyone so courageous like you, despite everything that had happened upon you. Sometimes I wish I was as strong as you are, you know. I know there were times I wasn't there for you and couldn't understand how you felt. And I feel bad for not being able to understand you the way you expected me to do so. I am so very sorry if I had ever hurt you in any way because you don't deserve anything like that from anyone.

I think you and I both know that there were so many things that were just a faux, but others just made it seemed like it was entirely your fault. Out of all the heart-to-heart conversations that we had, I grew to understand you better. And I know you're a good person. You're smart, super lame, fun, hyper and deep. You are so unique and original in your own way that there can't possibly be two of you. No words can describe how awesome you are as an individual.

I hope you're at the edge of crying at this point, SIA ZHEN NI, cause I am already shedding tears. Yeah, cross my heart. I can't say much here, but I think you get me, right? You're way beyond awesome, best friend. I lub you very much. :')

HAPPY BELATED SWEET 16!

Yes, I lub you so much that Denise is even jealous. :P

I sorta purposely cover Fifteen first of all songs I wanna cover because I want to dedicate this to you when I do your Sweet 16 post. See, I sayang you banyak-banyak laaaaa. :D

***

School today was a blast! Played guitar (lend Nee Cole's) and UNO and heart attack with Yee Fung, Wen Lee, Leon, Denise, Sis and Shauna. I'm so bringing Joe to school tomorrow. :D:D:D

.:.:.:.:$[u]E t[E]nG:.:.:.:.

I'm weird cause I hate goodbyes

I got misty eyes as they said farewell

But I'll know where several are

If my dreams get real bizarre

Cause I saved a few and I keep them

Party In The USA Seafield!

Complications.

Hallelujah, FREEDOM!

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES the finals are over, like finally! I've been waiting for SO long time for today to come. :D

Okay, I don't know what I wanna do now. There's like tons of things to do. But mainly I can't record a cover cause I'm currently down with a bad cough and flu. :( Sad, huh? But better than Sis who fell sick during the second week of the finals. :D

Oh yes, say hello to my new baby! Yes, a black iPhone 3GS! WOOT! Mommy got that for me for as my birthday gift for next year. :D Collected it on October 25 from Sunway Pyramid's Maxis Center. That's a pretty cool Paul Frank skin, huh? Got it from Bangkok during my previous trip.

As promised, here's the update on Sis' debut drum performance for the Yamaha Drums and Guitar fair in Sunway Pyramid on October 11.

Sis was suppose to perform at 2 pm that day, but because she had forgotten to grab her CD along with her, her performance time was delayed. She talked to the PA people and tried to get the song from the CD from the bloody pendrive that can't be read on the digital piano (WTH, right?). Then Mom and Sis went off to settle things while Dad, Zhen Ni and I stayed and had a look at guitars. After talking to the person-in-charge, we left to do our grocery shopping at Jusco before Sis' performance scheduled at 5 pm, same goes to Zhen Ni. Met Zhen Ni at the food court while we grabbed late lunch. Aaaaaaand finally, it was time.

The super awesome rocker chick. :)

The best friends.

Dad and Sis. (Mom was reluctant to have her picture taken)

And of course, the awesome photographer of the day, ME!

It was a good debut performance in public, alright. She did very well indeed. The audience were impressed with her. ;)

That's all for now, peeps! Wait up for my next post. It's gonna be a tear-jerking one, I promise. :P

Get me this and I'll love you to bits! Anyone! :D

Bounce! OMG watch it. It's hilarious!

.:.:.:.:$[u]E t[E]nG:.:.:.:.

Woah, I'm feeling you baby

Don't be afraid to jump then fall

Jump then fall into me

Baby I'm never gonna leave you

Say that you wanna be with me too

So I'm gonna stay through it all

So jump then fall

De-Stress Session, Please?

Joe and Jally. My loves. :)

What's up, everybody? :D

Yes, kill me for switching on the laptop 3 days before the finals, Mom and Dad, but I have been a good girl cause I studied for 7 hours today! *flashes super white teeth* Yes, 7 amazing hours, can you believe that? I might've gone nuts by now, but I am still fine, I think. I love and miss you, Mom and Dad. :( Hope you guys are having TONS of fun in Korea without me and Sis.

Happy belated birthday, Mom! I ♥ you. Hope you have fun celebrating your birthday in Korea!

October 17, 1964. :)

Proven that I've been studying. That was taken during my one-hour lunch break. Everytime I stand up to stretch, my back and shoulders will be aching like crap. When I shut my books and call it a day, my eyes will be heavy and my head will be throbbing. I guess most of you studying for the finals feel this way too, right?

And I can't believe I locked myself out from the laptop for about 8 to 9 hours everyday, excluding the times I've tweeted. :O Sorry to say, but I am a Twitter addict! I just have to tweet everyday, no matter what. At least one tweet. My online time is during the night cause I can't study at night. And I text. A lot. :)

So this is what I've been doing for these few days: get up as early as I can, wash up, skip breakfast, study, brunch, watch TV for one hour (sometimes I don't), resume studying until late evening, shower, eat dinner, go online + watch TV + play guitar, sleep after midnight. Hmm... I think that kinda wrapped up my daily routine for the preparation of the finals. Honestly, I want to get over with it whether I am ready or not. I am sick of being lifeless for the mean time. Endure what may come and the 13 days of horror will be gone sooner! :D

Anyways, I have a good weekend. Yesterday, Sis tempt my taste buds by preparing dinner according to Jamie Oliver's recipes! At least that made me feel better after studying for some long hours.

Mozzarella and mixed leaf salad with mint and peaches.

Fantastic roasted chicken.

Ohmygosh, it was SUPERB I tell you. It was the first time Sis tried out this recipe, but boy, it sure taste good! Me, Grandma and Sis had a wonderful "Jamie Oliver" dinner last night. :D

Today's dinner: stir-fried pasta! I found the recipe in the newspapers last Tuesday and made Sis try it. Guess what? Again, it was splendid! I am so stuffed right now. Ah, a weekend of good food! It's just a shame that the parents weren't in. :(

It's best for me to be off now. I had enough for now. I promise I will be back as soon as the last paper ends! And I will record more covers and post it up on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and my blog. Oh, and thank YOU for the lovely comments. I love you guys very much for watching my videos! Take care and good luck to those of you taking the finals with me! May the force be with us, literally. :D

My next update. I promise. :)

My cover of Fly With Me by the Jonas Brothers. Not my best cover, but I enjoyed recording that. :)

P/S: I'm not left-handed. The webcam inverts the images on the recording and I can't do anything to change it. So yeah, in conclusion; I'm NOT left-handed. :)

.:.:.:.:$[u]E t[E]nG:.:.:.:.

There's gonna be one less lonely girl (I'm coming for you)

One less lonely girl

There's gonna be one less lonely girl (I'm coming for you)

I'm gonna put you first (I'm coming for you)

I'll show you what you're worth (That's what I'm gonna do)

If you let me inside your world

Invisible.

You make me smile like a fool.

11 more days to the finals.

What the hell am I doing here? Well, I missed my blog and I want to make a statement to prove I am not dead yet, just away for a few weeks. :)

I want the finals to be over soon. I am hurting myself to not come online as often as I do. :D And I have to hold back the temptation to grab my guitar and record a cover. Yes, I am on YouTube now! If you want to see me play guitar (IF you never had), click this link: http://www.youtube.com/user/JoelleChew and watch my two covers. I hope you like it. :)

Taylor Swift's new music video for her song Fifteen. It's SO meaningful. :')

My second guitar cover on Taylor Swift's song I'd Lie. :P

That's all for now. I will be back as soon as the finals are officially over. Good luck to PMR, SPM

and STPM candidates. Oh, and not to forget to those who are taking the school's finals. :D

.:.:.:.:$[u]E t[E]nG:.:.:.:.

So maybe it's true, that I can't live without you

Maybe two is better than one

But there's so much time, to figure out the rest of my life

And you've already got me coming undone

And I'm thinking two is better than one

Once.

I wanna be a kid again, when I never knew what's pain.

Rekindle my childhood, and forget what today has brought me to.

Hello, you. :)

The last night of the holidays. Sigh. School resumes tomorrow morning. And I have to admit, I didn't something that I promised myself to do during the holidays: S-T-U-D-Y for the finals which is on October 20 (sorry to remind you about it). I've been going online everyday, mainly on MSN and Twitter.

Twitter had been awesome to me. Joe Jonas (@SupermanJosephJ, yes he changed his Twitter account) replied my tweets for 6 times and Kevin Jonas (@K2Jonas21) finally replied my tweet for the first time! Yes, I truly encourage you to start a Twitter account if you don't have one. It's fun and soon, you'll get addicted to it. :D

Yesterday was super awesome! The morning wasn't so good, cause I gotta get up early for the 6 -and-a-half-hour long tuition replacement/revision class which starts at 9 am. Thank God for Mom saving both Sis and my necks at around 2.15 pm. Went off to Kepong to Dad's friend's place for awhile (which seemed like forever) then went to KL. After Mom and Dad had enough to see in the Louis Vuitton store at Starhill Gallery, Dad had to go for a meeting dinner with his friends, so he dropped Mom, Sis and I at Pavillion. The three of us went for a window-shopping spree since its been awhile since we done that. Went to Esprit, Roxy, Nike, Adidas, Topshop, Bossini and Stadium to look for some stuff.

I found some clothings that I like at Esprit and Puma. So, I ended up purchasing a green shorts and a long black knitted cardigan from Esprit and a hooded green and yellow striped dress (Mom liked me in it, not that I want that dress badly) from Puma. Mom allowed us to purchase some clothes cause she said that I am growing up and I need to wear more variety of clothes instead of t-shirt and jeans/shorts. I simply have to agree with her.

A shopping spree with your Mom is good, if you do it ONCE in a blue moon, not every weekend. Geez, your parents don't print cash, they earn them. Shopping with Mom and Sis brought back the childhood memories when Mom used to hold my hand wherever we are, and she still does now.

Who cares if I will never grow up? It's better than being like other teenagers who lives in a different world from their parents.

That's all for now. Hopefully school tomorrow won't be that bad. My study mood has to come. Happy studying for the examinations, peeps! Take care and goodbye. Loves.

Here Is Where I Belong.

Transformation.

Hello, you!

Ah, yes, I am sporting a new look. Like it? I am getting used to it, though. Missing my long hair that I last touched on Sunday. :/ Oh well...

Anyways, we went back to school yesterday to re-do the rack we built on Thursday. Grab all the photos you want, as usual. But please do remember to GIVE CREDITS to where you grab the photos from and the photographers(s). Thanks! :)

Argh, my sunburnt skin and my left hand hurts. :( My injured finger is better now. This may be the last post until the finals are over. So, in case I won't be back until the finals are over, I just wanna wish all of you peeps taking PMR, SPM and school examinations GOOD LUCK and JUST DO YOUR BEST! ;)

Check this video out! ;)

The official music video for Party In The USA by Miley Cyrus. I kinda like this song. :P

Run far away

So I can breathe

Even though you're far from suffocating me

I can't set my hopes too high

Cause every hello ends with a goodbye

Pure Awesomeness!

I don't know what the heart wants.

I don't know what the soul is searching for.

Selamat Hari Raya, all my Muslim friends! :D

Allow me to update about last Thursday a.k.a. the last day of school before the Hari Raya break! I think I am the last to do it, cause others had updated their blogs about this already. Anyways, I'm still doing it. Credits to Zhen Ni and the other few people (including me!) for taking the pics. Photos grabbed from Zhen Ni's Facebook account.

The best shot of the day, of course, by yours truly. It beats Justin's ones flat! :P

It's supposed to be only Zhen Ni and I in this pic, but the annoying sister's face got in it. -.- Well, only half the face! xD

The half-done rack. :)

Finally done! A nice decent shot.

0 (suck it up; SSSSSSSSSSS!)...

4! 104th Scouts! :D

The awesome peeps. :)

The neatly-stacked woods on the rack we built!

But Headmistress came and told us that we have to shift the woods away from the school building (that means re-do it again) cause of some fire precaution when we were cleaning up the place. Oh well... It just give us a reason to be back in school during the holidays and have more fun! :D

Oh, I have something to tell you guys. I have uploaded a video on YouTube a few hours back. It's me doing a cover on Taylor Swift's Hey Stephen. I'm just playing the guitar, not singing. I haven't find any alternate ways for me to not sound weird when I am singing, so yeah. Please DO click on this link and watch my video, okay? I know the quality of the video is lousy (cause I recorded it using the built-in webcam on my laptop at midnight) and I am lousy, but do watch and leave your comments, rate and subscribe to/at my channel if you have a YouTube account. A big THANK YOU to those of you who had watched my video and leave me comments on YouTube or tell me personally. I really appreciate you guys for spending a few minutes to watch my video. Feel free to request for any songs. I will do it if I can.

I had watched this movie on September 12 with my parents and Sis. Yes, it is rated for those aged 18 and above, but we managed to sneak in. How? At the counter whereby they will tear your tickets, Dad was holding our tickets and Mom was gonna run with us in. I shouted, "Mooooomy I neeeedddd tooo peeee sooooo badlyyyy!" and ran in straight away with Sis. So hilarious! This movie is awesome, like how all the Final Destination movies would've been (I have not watched the first and second one so I don't know). EXCEPT for the deaths where they show human organs flying and blood everywhere. O_O I shut my eyes all times during the death scenes, or I'll puke on the spot. But anyways, good movie!

Rating: 6/10

Tsunami In Haeundae. I had watched this movie with the parents and sister last night at The Gardens, Mid Valley Megamall. The outcome of the movie was so unexpected. I thought that I would be bawling my eyeballs out, but I ended up laughing until I cry! Yes, this movie is THAT hilarious, with a few scenes that I teared. I expected this movie to be more tragical, instead I could hear the echo of my laughter ringing in the theater. But it is a good show. Worth your money watching.

That's all from me today. Oh, and my maternal grandparents are down from Ipoh again. Missed them so much and now they are here! They made my day even better. :D Keep checking in for more updates! Toodles!

P.S: Joe Jonas (ItsJoeJ) said bye to me when I left from chatzy (a chatroom with him and girls around the world) yesterday! I am still happy about that now. :D

P.P.S: Oh, kiss me in the rain, Mr. Venezuela! *inside joke*

Don't say things you don't mean. Yes, you.

Karuna's Farewell, September 14.

Goodbye, Karuna.

Thanks for being a fun companion throughout the year during meetings and all.

All the best in Adelaide.

Don't forget about us here and keep in touch.

Karuna had left for Adelaide on Tuesday night. :/

And I'm so sorry for the late update. I've been caught up with homework and stuff and I am lazy to upload and edit the photos too. Anyways, we had a small farewell party for Karuna after school on Monday, organized by Denise! :)

Sorry for the bad photo quality. The lighting in the canteen isn't that good that day. I edited the photos the best that I can. Like usual, grab the photos AND give the credits. Thank youuuu!
