Earth Hour Party.
Saturday, March 28, 2009
PICK. IT. UP!
Monday, March 23
Had Choral Speaking practice the whole day. Tiring. Then, head off for Add Maths and Maths tuition classes in the evening.
Tuesday, March 24
Had Choral Speaking practice until the fourth period only cause our Headmistress did not allow us to skip classes. Yeah, sad case, huh? Went for History tuition class later that night.
Wednesday, March 25
Had Choral Speaking practice the whole day. Then, went for librarian duty until 4.30 pm. Head off for Physics and Chemistry tuition classes right after duty. The crazy marathon day of the week, I'd call it.
Thursday, March 26
CHORAL SPEAKING COMPETITION!!!! Competed against eight schools; SMK Subang Utama, SMK Subang Jaya, SMK USJ 12, SMK USJ 4, SMK Bandar Sunway and a few other schools. SMK USJ 12 and SMK USJ 4 were really good. I was nervous when we were in our lines, preparing to go on stage. My hands were clammy and my legs were shaking. And I forgotten one head action. Embarrassing....
When the head judge was giving her comments, we listened attentively. Then, she moved on to the results. We all held hands, hoping that we will at least get a placing. SMK USJ 4 was the first-runner up. We felt intensity in the atmosphere. The hall was in pin-drop silence.
"And the champions are.........
(there was a long pause in between)
PICK IT UP!!! (Team 5, SMK Seafield)"
The hall was erupted with piercing screams. OMG, we won first place! That was quite an achievement! Good job to Team 5 (Seafield) for an awesome performance. Yeah, Jon Ho, we blew the judges' hair away! HAHA. Our hard work paid off.
My first trophy won in high school. Love it to bits. Heh.
Performed one last time for the audience. Everything ended about 11.55 am. Julia and I planned to go to Physics class and show off our trophy. Puan Goh was happy for us, and she didn't even scold us for not bringing any Physics books. We did not want to stay in class until 1.10 pm, so we decided to hang around in the canteen. Had lunch an chit chat with Joanne and Julia. Went home and did research for Spare-Time Assignment (STA) for Scouts about the Ministry of Youth And Sports and a little bit of homework until 11.30 pm.
Friday, March 27
Stayed back after school to do the STA with Kelly, Wen Hao, Justin, Guat Teng and Xiang Qi. Finished at about 2 pm and slept in the canteen while waiting for Yee Fung to finish choir practice until 3.30 pm. Continue my beauty sleep and went online for awhile before leaving for Biology and BM tuition classes.
While we were studying Biology, the lights went off. The whole street had a blackout. Wee! No tuition! We packed up and left. While waiting for my parents to come, me and Yee Fung walked to the burger stall at the corner of the street to get out dinner. Guess who we met at the burger stall? Zen Wei! It was such a coincidence. He had just finished his tuition class and he grabbed a burger while waiting for his mom to pick him up. We chatted while waiting for our burgers. Yee Fung paid for our burgers. Yeah, she was such a sweetheart to pay for mine along. Then, we went to a mamak to wait for my parents to fetch me home. Our tuition teacher belanja-ed us. Woohoo!
Mom and Dad came in two separate cars. Mom was driving her new white BMW 3 series! It is soooooooo beautiful! Went home to change cars, and dropped by Summit to get some stuff. Reached home after 10 pm. Changed to my jammies and read a few pages of Jodi Piccoult's Perfect Match before sleeping.
Today. Arrived in school for Scouts. Did our STA presentation. My patrol did a really good job presenting, despite the fact that we did not really know what the Ministry of Youth And Sports is all about. After that, had marching practice for Sports Day. Sir David dropped by school and he "tortured" us Remajas. We had "hentak kaki" for more than 500 times today. Yes, this is not a joke. For the first time in 4 years, I felt like passing out while doing an activity in Scouts. Maybe I was too tired. Plus, the weather was really hot that time. Went home after 12 pm.
Tonight at 8.30 pm, switch off your lights for Earth Hour. Try not to use as much electrical appliances as you can. Sit in the dark for an hour with candles for light. Show that you are voting for Earth. If you leave your lights on, it shows that you are supporting global warming.
Together, we unite and join Earth Hour tonight. All it takes is to just switch off your lights to show your support for Earth. :)
5 hours and 22 minutes more to Earth Hour.
.:.:.:.:$[u]E t[E]nG:.:.:.:.
I want to escape from all the pain. Run away.

The Story Untold.
I did a bloody huge mistake. When Mom found out, she was so disappointed with me. "How could you, girl? What were you thinking?", she asked. Taking deep breaths, I prepare myself to tell her what was on my mind. I opened my mouth, moved my lips; but nothing came out from my mouth.
What I wanted to tell Mom was that I told him off, that I didn't want to take it to the next level. Being tied down in a relationship requires a lot of commitment, and I definitely am not ready for this. I am a family-oriented person and I enjoy spending time with my friends. They are the light of my life, not a guy that I have a crush on. I spent that night thinking about what I did. I was being silly to put myself in the shoes of a character from a novel. The girl met a new guy, they fall in love with each other, there were things in their way but they made it through in the name of love. I said yes, he was over the moon. But I wasn't. Yes, honestly. I said yes because he is very nice and I want to give it a shot. Little did I know that I followed my heart's desire without thinking in a mature way. I told him there are loads of consequences and that I am a dead boring person. He said he could live with that. My heart dropped to my feet, and I was smitten. It was the first time a guy ever said that to me. He is the first guy who compliments me. I feel proud and confident. For once, I feel like I am somebody. I fell so hard for his words.
Mainly, I didn't wanted it after all cause I realize I have bigger dreams to achieve than this. I planned to take a part-time job after completing high school to earn some money to pay for my college tuition fees. If not, I'll jump in straight to college, pursuing in music business, songwriting or hospitality and tourism. If I really made it into a local music college, I planned to further my studies to Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. Then, I'll migrate to the States and look for a job there. If I'm going for hospitality and tourism, I planned to go to Taylor's College or KDU College. Then, hopefully, I'll get to work in Disneyland, my dream workplace since I was 10.
That thing didn't work out between us cause we don't know each other. You don't know my behavior. You don't know my favorite color, nor my hobby. You don't know the way I treat people. You don't know me. I don't know you too. How can two people be together when they don't know each other?
See why I didn't take that chance, dude?
Sis sent a text message and told him to stay away from him. He did as what was told. Things got awkward. I didn't want this to happen. He was my friend. Was. Past tense. Because of that incident, we are no longer speaking. Not even making eye contact. I feel guilty. I did not see this happening. Maybe he is angry. Why would he be bloody angry? I told him before that there will be a lot of complications. Didn't he remembered what I said? Maybe he is just like the rest of the guys out there. Insensitive, inconsiderate, not understanding.
After that, I lost my belief in love. No, you didn't get me wrong. Any romantic scenes in novels that I read or movies that I watch tugged at my heartstrings, but I know that it would not be real. It can happen to others, but not me. When I was younger, I dreamt of a nice garden wedding. It was in the beginning of spring, where flowers are blooming everywhere, the air filled with the sweet-smelling smell of nectar. The man of my dreams stood there, waiting for my arrival. I linked my arm with Dad's, and he walked me down the aisle. Dad took my hand and placed it into his, and told him to love me and take good care of me. He nodded.
But dreams are just dreams, right?
I wish you knew how bad I feel. I didn't see this coming, but things like this just have to happen upon me. Unlucky? Maybe. I crumble into pieces onto the ground. I did not cry, I was just sad and hurt. I do not know how does it feels like for those who went through this before; but now I do. It hurts. Badly.
Mom, I am truly sorry. I didn't mean to break your heart that way. And thank you for saying that you will protect me from getting hurt in every single way you can. You are my hero. I love you, Mom.
Sis, thank you for making me wake up form my dream. Thank you for making me realize that I made a huge mistake, that I actually did not want this. I love you too, Sis.
And I get what Taylor Swift meant in her song Fifteen. She made the same mistake, too.
Fifteen: Taylor Swift
You take a deep breathe and you walk through the doors
It's the morning of your very first day
You say hi to your friends you ain't seen in a while
Try and stay out of everybody's way
It's your freshman year, and you're gonna be here
For the next four years in this town
Hoping one of those senior boys will wink at you and say
You know I haven't seen you around, before
Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
And when you're fifteen feeling like there's nothing to figure out
But count to ten, take it in
This is life before you know who you're gonna be
At fifteen
You sit in class next to a redheaded Abigail
And soon enough you're best of friends
Laughing at the other girls who think they're so cool
We'll be out of here as soon as we can
And then you're on your very first date
And he's got a car and you're feeling like flying
And your mamma's waiting up and you're thinking he's the one
And you're dancing 'round your room when the night ends
When the night ends
Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna believe them
When you're fifteen and your first kiss makes you head spin 'round
But, in your life you'll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team
But I didn't know it at fifteen
When all you wanted
Was to be wanted
Wish you could go back
And tell yourself what you know now
Back then I swore I was gonna marry him somebody
But I realized some bigger dreams of mine
And Abigail gave everything she had to a boy
We both cried
Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you
You're gonna them
And when you're fifteen, don't forget to look before you fall
I've found time can heal almost everything
And you just might find who you're supposed to be
I didn't know who was I suppose to be
At fifteen
Your very first day
Take a deep breathe, girl
Take a deep breathe as you walk through the doors
A gentle reminder to all of you out there to switch off your lights at 8.30 pm to show your support for Earth Hour. Vote for Earth, not global warming.
.:.:.:.:$[u]E t[E]nG:.:.:.:.
I no longer believe in true love. Make me.

I L-O-V-E Saturdays!
Scouts was SO much fun!
We had an unofficial meeting today and lots of people didn't turn up. Anyways, we had a hell lot of fun. :D While Xia Shuen was briefing the Mudas about their camp, we Remajas had some fun. *winks* We talked, laughed and threw stones at each other. The Mudas were giving us the "WHAT THE HELL?" look. I guess they haven't seen the childish side of us. xD And out of nowhere, we got into talking about who are we gonna sleep with in our camp in future cause Xia Shuen advice us to share the same tent with our patrol members. I shall not tell you what we talked about, cause it sounded so wrong when we were talking about it, and that's what made us laugh our asses off. HAHAHAHA.
Guo Hao. He was throwing stones at Boon Hui, but his aims always gets off-target and I got hit. -.-
Zhen Ni. One of the photographers of the day. She also got hit by the stones of some off-target throws.
My sis, our another photographer of the day. As she quoted, " This is soooooo cool. The whole world is gonna laugh when they see this." =P
Sze Jie. I got hit by stones because of his off-target throws.
Boon Hui. His target was Kelly, and I was sitting in between them, so I was in a danger zone too. EEEEEEEKKKK!!!
Kelly. Boon Hui's victim.
Me. I defended Kelly when he attempted to throw a handful of stones at her. Cause she's my PL. HAHA. "Boon Hui, STOP throwing rocks! I KILL YOU, I TELL YOU." xD
My PL and me. :)
After Xia Shuen was done with the briefing and all, we were separated into groups. Remajas were placed in every group. I was in Group 6 (Green) with Kah Seng and other few Form 1s and Form 2s. And yes, we have to have our role call. So people, guess what's our role call?
"Green, green, save the earth!
Switch off your lights on 28th of March!"
Cool? Lame? Whatever it is, I think it's cool cause our role call is spreading the word to remind everyone to switch off their lights on March 28 during the Earth Hour, which is 8.30 pm to 9.30 pm. Make sure you do too. (:
Me and Zhen Ni. Got to take a pic with her while we were waiting for our turns to complete the basketball task.
Oh wait, I have something to announce. I shoot hoops today for the very first time in my life in three attempts! How cool is that? I mean, I don't play basketball (cause I don't like it at all, I don't know why) and I have to shoot hoops today to complete a task and there you have it! I can shoot hoops! *patsownhead* x) What an achievement, huh? BUUUUUUTT, basketball is still not my thing. =P
Group 9 (Red) won the game. Left for choral speaking practice although marching practice for Sports Day was on cause the competition is next week! *screams* I have not really memorize the script and I always screw up at the same lines. Yikes! I need to memorize the script, fast.
Choral speaking practice ended at 1 pm. Stayed back in school for a little while cause Sis wanted to take pics for her Moral project with Lee Yuin, Joanne and Hui Xian. I became their photographer. :D
Sis was in the mood, so she made her special baked pasta for lunch! Weeeee. xP Lazy to post pics, so you can't have a look at the finger-licking good food. Wakakakaka.
