Holidays are ending :[

The new semester's going to begin this Monday. I'm quite crestfallen that it's ending too quickly, but I'm anxious to begin again - this time, I'm determined to not speak to anyone once the teacher starts talking. That means you too, Fafrina. ( = 3 = )


Hey, desperate times calls for desperate measures. I'm not very good at splitting my already short attention span, so it's important I make sure I understand each subject.


My grandparents are in the house - they're here to look after me and my sister since my mom got a new job and the maid's gone. I'm feeling a bit guilty for neglecting my duties to entertain their time, but what can I do? I'm getting more and more busy each passing day as I cram all sorts of info into my brain.


Yes, I'm finally starting to follow my study schedule. I'm hoping with time and great discipline, I would be able to catch up to where the smart students are. That also means you too, Fafrina. Musheeroom, if you're reading, I'm taking up your mom's challenge at being your competition in the academics field. I'll prove to be a potent opponent, I'll make sure of that so that one day, we could be sent of to Japan on the school exchange program.


Studying proves to be much easier when there's nothing to distract or pressure me. I dislike when people poke and force me to go read a book, so when I have the freedom of choice to study by my own will, it's much less of a burden. Also, a clean environment helps a lot.


Speaking of cleaning, I'm almost done with the cleaning of my room - which is quiet a huge surprise. Thanks to new storage space, I'm able to keep all my prized possessions without having it clutter my room.


Also! I'm taking up the Drawing Challenge from here.

Here's Day 1.

Mothers' Day 2012!

Happy Mothers' Day to all mothers around the world, near or far. 
Today's your day and you deserve it! d=(´▽｀)=b


Anyway, here's a quick post of what I made for my mother.

The first half.

Worked on it outside, but mom came home early..

So I moved to my room to finish it.

Folded everything myself - now I have blisters.



At long last, the two halves are made!



Voila! A flower ball.

Wrapped and loaded.

Ooh, what's on the inside? = 3 =



Ignore my fugly writting.




Inside of the heart.




The ingenuous catchline that I thought of myself. Hahah.



Today, my house was full of mothers - two of my aunts, Tok Nyeh, my gramama, and my  own mother. Someday......

That's all for now. I'm headed off to make Fafrina her neko bookmark by Jo Nakashima.

Baii.

What happened this week?

Just a post to relieve me of stress. 

This week on Monday, a friend of mine - Sarah - helped me complete my electronics project to which I am indebtedly grateful for. However, I didn't get to properly check whether or not the project was a success because the battery provided for testing had run out of power whiiiiich was a bummer. ;-;

 Then the next day, which is Tuesday, another friend of mine -who has the same name as my mother, by the way - accidentally burned her fingers while we were doing a science experiment in the lab. She touched the test tube that was still hot after being heated with the bunsen burner. She handled the situation very well though, you couldn't even tell that she was in pain if not for the occasional "aah"s she sounds whenever something touches her fingers. They look like they're getting better, though.

On the same day, we had our music lessons and after almost an hour of not really getting anything, Sarah - the friend who helped me with my electronics project - taught me French! Well, not everything about the language; just a few words and simple sentences. 

For example, "Commons tu t'appel?" she said it means "what is your name?". And the answer is, "Je m'appel [Name]." 

And then there was, "le cole" or something like that meant the school. "Poulet" means chicken and "pain" means bread. 


So that's another language I'm adding to languages I'm learning, along with Japanese, Arabian and German. :)


Then yesterday, my second primary school had its 10th anniversary. I went to the carnival and had pretty much a blast.


Today, family members have flooded my house. All of my mother's siblings are here and they brought their babies! Yay! 


Tok Nyeh is back, btw.

SKBJ 10th Anniversary!

The Camera - A short story based on my sister.

Please don't take this seriously.

Once upon a time, there was a girl. 

She was walking casually when her eyes caught sight of a camera.

(Source: Link)


The person holding the camera asked her to pose. And so she did.

(Source: Link)



She asked the person if she could hold the camera to see her picture and the person said okay. But when the person asked for it back, she said no.

 (Source: Link)



Then she ran away. With the camera. The person was left, sad and alone without her camera.

(Source: Link)



The girl ran until she found her elder sister who was in front of her computer, blogging. She made her sister pose and so she did.

 (Source: Link)


But when the girl pressed the capture button, the flash went off, making her sister cringe and squint.

(Source: Link)



After the picture was taken, the girl walked away, leaving her sister blinded and confused.

While walking, the girl fell.

The camera broke due to the fall.

(Source: Link)



The girl was shocked.

And sad because she had no camera to play with anymore.

The sobbing bothered her elder sister who was blogging. The sister could not focus.

But she took care of the teary diversion easily.

 

Then, she continued typing away on her keyboard, happily blogging about who knows what.

THE END!

The moral of the story is:

Never steal others' things. It's bad. [The End.] 

 

April's ending!

Sigh, it's been a full week since I've written anything. I afraid my blogging skills might rust at this pace.. -.-

This week was full of sporting events and plenty of other activities for me. 

We had our road-run practice on Wednesday and yesterday was the real deal. I didn't run, though. But what I DID do was help out at my club's stand. We sold two types of drinks (Ocean Blue - which was basically a mix of asam boi, lemons, and blue food colouring - and another drink which contained soya, bandung and cincau), keropok lekor and popias.

I think Ocean Blue was the culprit to what made my stomach so sick today. =A=

But! All went well yesterday. We sold everything! Including the 4 batches of our blue concoction. I got to play with this cute little boy while chilling around and selling things with a classmate and my clubmate. The fact that I didn't have to run a total of 5 kilometers was just a bonus. 

Got into a fight with Musheeroom... which would be considered normal.. but not this time. 
It's just that, I know I was wrong - and I admitted it! But she was screaming in my face, and I was confused and mad because of that, so I screamed at her, too, in the midst of the rainfall and crowd bustling for shelter. I don't handle things well when anyone yells or raises their voices with me. It's my weakness - unfortunately.

Now I'm tired emotionally and physically; emotionally, because of familial problems and because I was bothered by the fight with Musheeroom and a way to say "I'm sorry" without seeming stiff or awkward. Because I know that what I did was stupid, but at the same time, I feel somewhat a mixture of angering grief that she had to be so rough about it. I'm sorry, dammit!!

Huuh... whatever. Oh, and physically since I spent the entire day making triangle bases for the 3D origami piece that I'm working on. Planning on having it as part of the gubahan project that was subjected by my new uniformed units.

Ah, which reminds me! I dropped out of the fire brigade because I was so sick and tired of the drills we had to practice at EVERY SINGLE MEET and the fact that there was no other engaging activities other than burn in the sunlight.

But that's not the best part yet.

Even though I quit the brigade because I hate the drills, I joined my sport's team's marching team. WHAT.

From my last experience with the school's marching team - which I had acquired during my first year of high school - it's not very different from the drills I learn while in the fire brigade. So, why?!

Oh, and did I mention the fire brigade teacher is also the teacher for my sport's team, too?

Speaking of sports, the winner of the road run was team Jupiter - which is represented by the colour green.

Mars - Red. Mercury - Yellow. And finally, mine: Earth - Blue.

The few things that I like about being in the blue team is that the shirt is slimming. And I don't have to wear a singlet - unlike members of the Yellow team, aka, Fafrina. Muhaha.


Tomorrow's a school day. I haven't been to school for lessons since Wednesday.

 Didn't attend on Thurday because I had to help my mother translate her part of the apple product called Siri.. or something? Meh, I don't know. 

Spent the entire day, from the peak of dawn to near Midnight sitting in front of the computer screen, typing away like a zombie slave.

And then I convinced my mother I was in dire need of rest on Friday which resulted to my absence. Ehe.

Later that Friday, I went for a visit to the TTDI pasar malam with Fafrina, Musheeroom and a classmate of mine and her brother. We had a surprisingly great time. SURPRISINGLY. Fafrina gave me lots of food.. heheh. ( =w= )

Anyways, I'm off to complete the swan origami piece. And make something for my fungian-nicknamed friend. And do something about my stomach problems. And finish reading a piece of writing by a classmate of mine. And sleep. And hope that I will live another day tomorrow. And bye-bye.

[END]

  

Who broke the iPad?

This week ended in fair bliss. 

E----xcept for the fact that I got an injection, was forced to run a whole field in a long skirt, lost my pencil case and found out that the iPad was broken.

But other than that, it's all fine and dandy.

Day Six: Five people who mean a lot (in no order whatsoever)

Here are a few of them.. :]

1) An old friend way back from kindergarten

I remember having a few awesome friends back in kindergarten. The most prominent memories I have in kindergarten mainly revolves two girls, and five boys - one of them being him. He was the most likable out of the five guys and was closer to him than the others - in the most sibling-like manner. He was like the brother I never had and acted more less like it. He was a winsome lad and remained untainted until the last time I saw him when we were 10. I remember the last day of school that year - also the last year I went to that school - and he and his mother waved and smiled goodbye at me as I walked past their car on my way home. Yes, I knew his mom - we were THAT close, haha. But the sad part is that I don't even remember his name anymore... :<

2) Fafrina

 As you probably would have noticed from all the mentions of her (and Musheeroom) in a lot of my posts that she has a big role in my life story. We didn't hit off straight away when we met, rather, it came as kind of a surprise to both parties that we'd be this close. She's mainly the only person I could really be myself and/or talk about feminine things (both present and future) and joke with without getting weird stares and forced laughter. Even though we came from different beginnings in the start, I can't imagine not being friends with her the way I am now. *cheesydesuka?*

It's a bit awkward saying this since I know she'll be reading it.. heheh..

3) Musheeroom

 Another bestie from my miniature list of friends. I've been in the same class as her since both of us stepped into this place. This year would be the fifth year. She's the one I have heated and (sometimes)irrational debates with. We argue about the most redundant of redundants (does not make sense, btw). We have different tastes in males, but compliment each others' choices very well. For example, I love Dante, whereas she likes his brother, Duncan; I love Shizuo, while she loves his brother, Kasuka. We will never clash. Unless it's for Zachary Benedict, the hottest man you will ever hope to find in a book. Period.

4) Tok

 She's my paternal grandmother. I love my grandmothers equally. But she stirs more emotions in me and much easier, too. I don't know why - maybe because she looked after me when I was little when my parents had to work. She's old now, older than my maternal grandfather even! I want to spend more time with her.

5) My uncle (whom I thought was a neighbor/cousin)

Don't know why, but he popped into my mind. I guess I don't mind putting him in the list.. See, when I was a kid, we always played together whenever I visited my maternal side of the family in Kelantan. We were like best friends, really. He was older by a year. I found out later when I was older that he was actually my uncle which came into a huge shocker. Since then, I haven't really uttered a single word or made eye contact with the guy. He's grown up now and so have I. We moved on, but the memories were fun. Thnks Fr Th Mmrs!

 [end]

Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.

1) Blog posts

 I would never have expected me being so dedicated to this blogging thing. Nowadays, random blog posts ideas pop up into my head so often that I'm thinking of making myself an idea book to keep all the ideas organized because it'd be a waste if the golden ideas go to waste thanks to me weak memory span.

2) Plot bunnies

 Sometimes, at the most unsuspecting time ever, a little bunny trots on over to my head like it owns the place and leaves like it's nobody's business. I can never seem to capture them, though. Those bunnies. s(・｀ヘ´・;)ゞ

3) My future

 I worry a lot about what would happen in the near future of mine. It's more dizzying since I can't imagine myself being anything else but a student, and later, a wife and mother. Eugh. My womanly instincts are too strong. Help. 

4) Relationships

 Don't go and get the wrong idea, fellas. By relationships, I mean lots of things - mostly friendships and family ties. Nowadays, I'm becoming more concerned about these two kinds of relationships I have. And the more I think about it, the more I could imagine how it could end. I don't want that. T^T

5) Hetalia and other Fandoms

 At inappropriate times, I remember certain things and that leads me to wanting to crack up during a serious speech or blushing(well, sort of) while solving a maths problems. This happens often during the exams when I finish the papers and there's still some time left. 

6) Problems

 I'm a worrier. I worry a lot, constantly. It doesn't matter if it's a serious one or not, unless I figure out a way to solve it, my mind won't be at peace.

7) My past

This doesn't really need an explanation; it kind of just self-explanatory. I know dwelling in the past is bad, but some of the memories I have are too sweet to not remember. It's a habit, maybe? > 3 >

[end]

Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart.

Oh, just the usual things that only exist in fiction...

1) Be sweet and chivalrous.

One of the things that I hate is rudeness - no one likes it, really. Bad boys may be attractive in movies and fiction, but in real life, nothing wins a girl's heart more than simple acts of chivalry. And this isn't only limited to your object of affection, but try to be genuinely nice to others too - especially towards the elderly, children and animals. Sweet wordings every now and then is very much appreciated, just make sure you mean them!

2) Be my best friend.

I am sort of an eccentric person, zany even! And my mood changes often. You'd need to be able to handle all that and accept it completely. Make me laugh and smile, talk with me, lend me a shoulder to cry and lean on, do me favours - and of course, I'll do the same to you. Those small, seemingly platonic things can do wonders and earn you merits. But of course, being best friends isn't limited to doing things like that... take me and Fafrina, or me and Musheeroom for example! There's a whole lot more that doing favours and laughing together. You need to open up to me as I do to you. Let me help you with your problems and don't push me away. I very much dislike being pushed away... :<

3) Cook with me.

Rather than having one of us cook for the other, I'd like it if we work team up and make a meal to share together. I've always thought of that as an extremely endearing action. And if all else fails, there's always pizza!

4) Be blunt, but tactful.

As I said before, I'm very moody and somewhat sensitive. Knowing how to maneuver me from that state makes life so much more easier for both of us and needs a great deal of strategic planning and tact. Learn how to coax and cajole, but don't use it to your own benefits! And don't beat around the bushes about things either. Just tell it straight to the face - but watch your tone and wording, since females tend to notice those more than what you're actually saying. Mostly. Hehe. 

5) Care for your loved ones.

 Nothing softens the heart of gals more than the thought that their man is one who is caring and loving. Take care of your family. Even if the only bonds you share is the blood flowing in your veins, try to be on good terms with them. Family is very important in life, remember that. Also, this shows that you are a home-bound person which is a very essential quality in the long run.

6) Make me something.

Buying my love won't do you any good; you got to earn it! What better way to show your feelings than to make something with your own two hands. It doesn't matter what it is - a homemade meal, a handwritten letter, an original(or parody) song, a picture you drew, anything. It warms one's heart to know that another cares enough to make something for them.

7) Be intelligent and playful.

Sarcasm is one of my non-existent middle names, you know? You need the wit and smarts to counter them. I just love having small, harmless banters and debates with just about anyone really - but the one who really only does this is mainly Musheeroom. And I want someone who I can have a decent intellectual conversation with - not to say that I'm all that smart, but when you're with someone with wits and knowledge, it tends to rub off onto you and that's what I'm hoping for.

In this boring reality, I'd like to goof around and enjoy life, and although I'm a bit stiff and take things waaay too seriously, I have my moments of rebellion and adventure. Helping me loosen up and have fun gives you lots of points. 

8) And lastly, be yourself.

Of all the things I hate most is deceit and pretentiousness. I always think that everyone has uniqueness in them and it would be a waste if they threw it away. Accept yourself then, and only then, can someone else genuinely accept you. Plus, I like it when people are comfortable enough around me to be able to show who they really are on the inside. It makes me feel special. （。-＿-。）

I know that a lot of the above is practically extinct in real life, but hey, a girl can dream.


[End]

Day Two: Nine things about yourself.

These nine things are chosed thanks to here.

1) Weaknesses:

I'd say that my biggest weakness is distrusting my intuition and believing others all too easily. My intuition is often right, but for some reason, I doubt it more than the words of people around me. I guess I'm a bit easily influenced?

2) Hobbies:

I enjoy writing and immersing myself in fiction. By writing, I mean blogging. I haven't found the guts to actually finish an actual piece of writing. And by fiction, I mean of any form - books, movies, manga, anime, music(lyrics). It provides an excellent doorway to release me from the tensions of reality.

3) Good habits:

I make sure my grammar and spelling are correct - is that a good habit? >_>
Oh, and I have this obsession with having everything shut down when not in use or is not necessary to use. I hate wasting.

4) Bad habits:

Oh, I have plenty. I don't make my bed when I wake up, I don't put my books back on the shelf and just leave them on my study table -which is why it's always cluttered. I tend to like to dwell on the past - that's a bad habit, right? The list goes on forever, really...

5) Strengths:

My bearings! I have a real good sense of direction, honest! It's one of the few things that I'm proud of.

6) Cons in knowing me:

If I'm a close enough friend of yours, I'll bug you with one hell of a lot of questions. It's another bad habit of mine, I guess - having too much curiosity.

7) Pros in knowing me:

I provide excellent company - or at least, I try to. When you have a problem, I'll be happy to be there for you, lend you a shoulder and help you solve your problem. I'll be loyal as long as you don't betray me.

8) Wishes:

My only strong wish and desire of mine that I've had since I entered high school is to have a family of my own. I mean, children and a husband. Yes, I know I'm young, but for some reason, I have a strangely feminine instinct in this aspect. I won't be searching for romance now, though. :P

9) Pet peeves:

The thing that I most dislike in the world, is a smug face of arrogance. Period.

[end]

Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.

Hm. Wait, lemme think...


1) My grandmother (fraternal side):

I'd just like to say to her that I love her and miss her a lot. Last time I went and visited her, it was really fun. I wanted to call her a few days after that, but I felt too shy to do so. I miss the olden days where I could show my affection with ease.

2) A-chan (an old friend from OtakuZone):

I want to say to her that it was really nice to have met you and that I'm sorry for my sudden disappearance from the site. I want you to know that it was a pleasure to have been friends with you and that may our awesome army reign supreme! And by the way, how's Joe doing? xD

3) My only male cousin of the same age:

To him, I'd probably say something about his vast changes during puberty. I still can't believe how his voice sounds like. It seems like just yesterday we were playing together in each others' front porch, and having arguments on how Ultraman is pronounced. I miss those days and feel a bit melancholic each time I see a picture of all of us back in the day.

4) A friend of mine when I was 10:

If I had the chance to talk to her, I'd probably keep quiet about this... I'd say that I appreciate your friendship while it lasted and I'm sorry that I didn't turn out to be the girl cool enough to be your friend. It would have been better if you had told me straight to the face how you felt, and not stab me behind the back when I'm not looking. All in all, it was great having you beside me during the short time that we were friends.  

5) My old neighbour who moved to another state:

I'd mention to her how much fun it was going to her house and played together as we did when she was here. I'd thank her for all the precious moments we shared, and for sticking by me even when I knew I was a bit... off? It was really unfortunate to have you move.. each time I pass your empty ex-house, I get reminded of our times together which I'll treasure always.

6) The person who planned our History Folio project:

I'd like to say to you, mister, that you have chosen the wrong topic. I'd like him(or her) to know that the project is too hard and virtually impossible for most kids. Have you not have any idea how we are? We are kids, and the people we need to meet are most likely against the idea of wasting their time on our flippy-dippy interviews.

7) Another old friend who left when I was 9:

If I were the same person I was a few years ago, I'd have raged about how you left without telling me anything and about you not keeping our promises. But now that I'm older - therefor, wiser?- I feel like laughing. Our claims on how we'd go to the same school and work at the same places and how we would sacrifice everything in order to make that happen were all too outrages that I could burst into a fit of giggles right this moment. You were a real great friend. Even though you went away, abandoning me and our 3-year friendship without word, I forgive you. But you still owe me RM3!

8) Amonderevex:

To Amon, I want to thank a million thanks for all the things you've done to us utattemita fans. You had posted videos of great quality and allowed us to enjoy the pleasure of listening to our favourite singers with such an easy click of a button. It was great having you around. You deserve the tittle as one of the best YouTuber in my heart. Good luck in your life and I wish you your success. :)

9) Dante (PDSKabushikiGaisha):

Dante!! Why did you bleach your hair?! T^T
I loved your regular brown hair that fits you perfectly... And it's not so much that I'm displeased by your now blond hair, it's just that you bleached your eyebrows (eye hair xD) too! Now you look like you have no eyebrows! *^*
But even with all that, I still love you and respect your decision... BUT WHY?!

10) My neighbour who lives two doors away from mine:

To you, I'd ask how much you know. I mean, I know you know about what I knew you knew ever since 2 years back. I'm still suspicious whether or not you have told people or not and why. Also, I know you know a whole lot about me and my habits (singing in the shower and fangirling - squeals and extreme giggling) and I'd appreciate if you didn't pay attention to those. And another thing, please refrain from bringing your friends to your house. It makes me feel awkward when I have to leave the house and restricts me from fangirling and/or singing aloud.  

[END]
