Seriously beloved dog and friend.
11am.
Rest In Peace,
Lobsters.

Death And Holidays
I haven't blogged for quite awhile, so much has happened. So many disappointments, so many changes, so much foolishness. And of course, so many good things. Hmm.
Well. School holidays are coming to an end. Gosh. I bet Georgina's going to kill me for having not gone out with her.
This holiday, or this period after exam, trepidation has loomed over my family. Lobsters fell really sick. She began to lose her appetite on the 15th of August. And when I say lose appetite, I mean completely. Anyone who really knew her, who have eaten dinner with her company, would know that she always loved food, always seemed famished even if she wasn't. But when she started losing her appetite, she ate nothing. All types of food made her turn her head away.
I would talk more about this issue, but it seems that now, with her in hospital on the drip, this issue is causing much unspoken unhappiness within me, making me lose my desire to blog.
Guess why. And it's not about Lobster's health.

CHIA SUE THENG!
It takes a special occasion to get me online now, during this totally stressful period where time, for the first time ever, is SERIOUSLY the limit- exam time. And this special occasion is,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHIA SUE THENG!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHIA SUE THENG!
(couldn't find anything better. Haha)
Going through a rouch patch now too, exams for you too there in Singapore. But, on this special day, hope you have a good day and be happy. Of course, stay healthy too! You're 16 now! Welcome to the Sixteen club. Hahahahahaha. Where the current members are everyone except Angela. Haaaaaaaaha.
Well. Whenever things get too much to handle, look at the clouds which are totally cool and pretty, especially in the mornings, and think of McDonalds McValue Lunch 12pm-3pm RM5.95. Haha. (Free advertising yo!)
Miss you! Hope to see you soon, when we finish our exams!!!!!!! WHEEE!!! =D Take care! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! =D

Leadership Camp
It was more like an Independence/ Discipline camp to me. With the way they handle things and everything. Oh well. So, yes I went to a camp in my school on Thursday and came back yesterrday. 3 days 2 nights. It's a leadership camp and it's a big thing because other private schools from around Sabah participate too, and a school from Bintulu. There were alot of talks, and some games. The games were quite good. We were all divided into small groups, 176 of us. I was in the Jasper group. The groups were all names of stones. Diamond, Jade, Ruby, and other weird ones. I don't think me an my group members will keep in touch. Sure we did exchange handphone numbers and emails, but then I just don't think so. It was more like an obligation, IN MY OPINION, because everyone else was doing it. But then I just think there will be more possibility I'll keep in touch with the group members of Angela's group, through her of course. Well, not keep in touch, but meet up occasionally. Haha.
We only had 5 minutes to bath. A real annoyance. Bathing under 10 minutes is a challenge for me. FIVE? Haha. They even timed it with stopwatches. Seriously man. From the time you stepped into the cubicle, you only get 5 minutes. They weren't counting the time only when the waters runs, but the time when you step into the cubicle, you take off your clothes, you shampoo your hair and everything, and change your clothes.
Angela went too and we slept in different classrooms, next to each other. But it was seriously so hot. So we decided to sleep outside on the corridor. The night air really was cooler. We chatted alot but I couldn't stay up for long because I was bushed! The moon was really, really bright. And there were stars! Ain't that cool! I think the best part of the camp was the end, when everyone was kind of sad to be leaving (though I wasn't, really.) and everyone was exchanging contacts and signing shirts and stuff like that. I had no sad feeling at all. Maybe only a little. But I was just glad to be leaving. I was sleep deprived and was craving for a long shower and a soft bed.
There were some pure laugh out loud moments. Like when there was this talk about communication. And there was an activity where a pair had to sit back to back and one person gets a piece of paper with alot of shapes on it making up a weird picture, and the otther person gets a blank piece of paper. The person with the blank paper has to try draw the shapes with only the verbal directions from the other person. And I could'nt hear Angela clearly or maybe I sort of lost concentration (which happens) while she was talking. The hall was getting noisier and noisier, with people speaking louder and louder and then when time was up, we compared pictures. And HAHAHA. It was so different. So LOL.
We also had to prepare for the talent time. And we didn't really get much time to prepare. The theme was modern childhood tales. The titles were given to each group and my group got Sleeping Beauty. There were Snow White, The Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella and some really random ones like Pinocchio, The 4 Little Pigs, The Frog Prince (?), THe King and His Shirt (?), and Mulan. Haha. Our group's performance was really funny. It was about the Sleeping Beauty who was reincarnated into the 21st century and loved to sleep, and could sleep anywhere. So the teacher sent her (a him acting the character) to camp (haha) and one of the lecturers gave her (him?) a Jasper (?) and it did magic. Haha. There were alot of funny bits.
Pinocchio was funny. There was one part where I-don't-know-who asked him quuestions to see whether his nose would grow longer when he lied. So he was like: Is your father male? Pinocchio: Yes. The guy: LIAR! And the nose grew longer. They used a rolled up mahjong paper we used during the talk activities to be the nose. The guy then said: You see! You are a liar! Pinocchio: No. My father IS a male! The guy: Oh. Right. He is a male. Okok, shu4 hui2 qu4, shu4 hui2 qu4. And the nose went back. Haha. Three Little Pigs were really good. There was a really random mother pig and an obstetrician who helped her (also a him acting the character) give birth to the three little pigs. Then the part with the houses, when the wolf finished blowing down the 2nd house and all the pigs were at the 3rd brick house, a newspaper man delivered a newspaper at the 3rd house. When the wolf went to the 3rd house, he was like, what's this? And picked up the newspaper. He gave a shriek and shock covered his face. Then he showed the audience. Swine Flu! Hahahaha. A great change in the story! =D
Me and Angela, Elsa and Zhong Ji Yun slept outside. The first night I slept well, without any mosquito bites. But the 2nd night was not that good. Woke up a few times because of the mosquitoes. I think the moon and the stars, and the occasional cool breezes during the night, made it all worth it. =D THanks Angela, for coming with me. Though the future of our club.. is uncertain. And probably in Angela's hands! Haha.
I am definitely sleep deprived though I hope that I have caught up with sleep by now, and am worried about school reopening tomorrow. My mum reminded me and I was like, Oh... yeaaa. I totally forgot. Well, I really have to pack my bag and sort out my books. Getting my exam papers back. I don't know what to think!!!
So well, closing this camp chapter, and hoping for some meet ups with fun people. I can honestly say that I'm glad it's over and that all I hope is that I'll keep in touch with the Tshung Tsin people I met. =D
Just finished watching the Singapore Super Series. Bao Chun Lai against Boonsaak Ponsana (I think) from Thailand. The first time I have seen a Thai player play, seriously. And my heart crumbled you know, when I saw the prize money. OH MY GOSH! I know it has always been big money, but for the first time I saw the cheque change hands, and Boonsaak (lost 1-3) won 7600. SEVEN THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED MAN! US DOLLARS! And Bao Chun Lai won USD15000. Think of how much money that is man! Sigh.
This holiday, I spent most of my time in Kuching and my Popo's house. Oh my gosh. Almost everyday we have dropped by in Popo's house. I don't mind, really. I like my popo's house. I spend my time there reading and watching tv. But don't really get much done in the end. So yup. Holidays over!!!!
Haha. Oh well. See you all at school tomorrow! =S Fingers crossed yo! =D

Goodnight, Beautiful
Goodnight, Beautiful - Dorothy Koomson
Eight years ago, Nova Kumalisi agreed to have a baby for Mal and Stephanie Wacken. Halfway through the pregnancy, the couple changed their minds and walked away, leaving Nova pregnant, scared and alone.
Eight years ago, Stephanie was overjoyed at the thought of becoming a mother - until she found a text from Mal to Nova saying, 'Goodnight, beautiful'. Terrified of losing her husband to his closest friend, Stephanie asked him to cut all ties to Nova and their unborn child.
Now, Nova is anxiously waiting for her son, Leo, to wake up from a coma, while childless Stephanie is desperately trying to save her failing marriage. Although they live separate lives, both women have secrets that will bind them together for ever...
Incredibly moving and powerfully written, Goodnight, Beautiful is a tale of love, friendship and new beginnings.
Wow. I finished this book a few days ago and it is an amazing book! It is really, really well written! Every detail is explained very nicely and the way she lays out the story in this book is very good. Definitely a book I'll recommend you all to read! =D It's really tragically sad but so believable. And it's not easy to write a story which spans out for about 30 years, without missing anything out, with every detail fitting perfectly in place. So yea, pick this book up if you see it! It's worth while! =D A 100% 5/5 for me! =D

Worried
I don't know whether I should be worried about these things, but I am! And I think I should actually be (I know! Contradicting myself!) because I'm sixteen (OH that sounds so oldddddddddd. No offense!) and I don't know how to cook real food. I have never done the laundry before, I think my conversing skills are not good enough, I don't know anything about what is going on around the world, the politics, economics and the history of this world and things like that, only a tiny part of it. Things I want to know and need to know! I want to learn all these stuff. I'm just worried, now that I'm soon to be leaving to study. But then on the other hand I can't wait, because I'll get the chance to learn all these things when I leave. Of course my mum may be coming along because I'm not going to a boarding school, and I don't know whether that's a good thing. She's not going to be there permanently, that's what she tells me. It's going to be comforting to know that I'll go home everyday over there to see someone I'm totally comfortable with, but then maybe I won't get the chance to really grow up and learn independence. DO YOU GET WHAT I MEAN? Because I don't get it, I'm confused.
I wish I had the chance to learn history properly. I'm quite interested with it. But then as you all may know, the history we learn here is not world history. So yeap, we only know about Malaysia's history. Which is not a bad thing. I guess. Haha. And I also want to learn a language. I don't speak or understand aany dialects at all and that is kind of lousy you know. When I'm in Kuching I just smile when they smile even though I have no idea what they just said. Sigh. I want to learn a dialect, (dialects, preferably) and a language because I want to travel, history, economics and accounting? Probably. But then I think it's not possible (stupid cake. You all know what I'm talking about...... Hopefully.) because the main focus is your VCE subjects and I don't know whether there's a maximum number of subjects you can take but I know if there isn't, it'll be stupid to take so many subjects. It'll kill your scores, definitely. My options are already Phy, Chem, Maths, Eco, Hist, Eng, and another Maths if I'm not mistaken. I know I have 7 subjects on my list and people usually take 5, I think. It's crazy! I wish I could just take a few only because I'm interested, but not for VCE. I don't know. Is that possible?
Anyway, Theng is back! =D Hahaha. Going to meet up with her probably soon. And sorry everyone, for not replying your texts, I've been so lazy and always reading my book. And when I'm reading (or watching TV), I don't like to do other stuff, like talk. Haha.
So yup. EVERYONE! Pray for the sick people! Seriously! And pray for the sick people's families to be strong! <---- MUST!

Heartless
Nat is very into Twilight and Kris Allen. I think it's quite good she's into Twiling because that gets her to actually pick up a book and read. As for Kris Allen, she has downloaded some Kris Allen songs into her phone. (Aunty Ping: Nat, there's more to life than No Boundaries, you know?) Haha. And it's just so funny (to me at least). Because I got past immigration yesterday coming home and the immigration counter is just in front of the scanning machines. And when I turned to walk away to my gate from the counter, a worker at the scanning machines, his handphopne started ringing. And guess what his ring tone was? Heartless, Kris Allen version. Hahaha. I couldn't help smiling to myself as I thought how funny it would be if Nat was with me at that moment.
In the night, I hear them talk~~~~~
