1AM

It is 1am, 12 of Feb, 2009!

I have officially been 16 for an hour, according to my computer time.

Cheers to being old!

My hp is currently battery-dead. But before it died, I received texts from Theng and Natalia! Thanks guys!!!!!!

I like Theng's message! Not to be mentioned here! But, HAHAHA!! Thanks, Theng! =D

The most important thing to me, definitely, is the thought! It's the thought that counts! =D Thanks Nat! Even though you should definitely be asleep at this time!

So, I hope my headache won't be there tomorrow (technically today), and that it'll be enjoyable. I have no plans for celebration, I don't know what I'll be doing later. But! Life still goes on on your birthday. Tests still go on, toilet papers need to be changed, homework still piles up. Sigh. Wish I could click the pause button at times like these.

Well, happy birthday, me! Hope I will continue working on my 2009 resolutions, my focus and my everything!

I am grateful. For the 16 years of my life, I am still healthy (hahahahaha), happy (hahahahaha), and have great friends and family beside me (!!!!!!!!!!!!!). I am grateful because God has watched over me all these 16 years, have had mercy on me and kept me and my loved ones safe and healthy, and have given me this wonderful life that alot of ppl are not fortunate to have.

So thank you, everyone; thank you, God; thank you, Mum and Dad; thank you, Kat Kel and Kev.

Do you know what lucky is?

It's me.

That's what I should try to remember AT ALL TIMES! =D


Goodnight, 16 yr old me!

birthday celebration!

My mum insisted to celebrate my birthday early, before Kat left. I was sort of indifferent about it. Sure, sure (Jacob Black! hahaha!). So it was planned and fell on a Saturday, last month (forgot the date!!! enlighten me, ppl!). The usual gang was invited, Aunty Maria and family, Aunty Anna and family, Aunty Elaine and family, Aunty Elsie and family, and family and cousins.

It was a small usual dinner with normal food cooked my mum and it was held outside the house. I was getting ready and naturally, I was late. I went down, greeted the ppl, got the presents (thanks everyone!!!) and chit chatted. Then my mum pulled me to the kitchen and she was asking me why I came down so late, ppl had arrived already and didn't she tell me not to be late. And I was just ok, ok. Then when i walked back outside.

Whoa.

The first thing I saw was Lai (moon!!!) and then my vision widened and I saw Angela, Chin, Liau, Rebecca, Pauline, HK, Dudu. With HK still in uniform. HAHA! Am I missing anyone out? Well, I was definitely surprised!!! And they bought me KFC!!!!!! Hah I'm sure they didn't have time to find a present. But thanks!!! I was really surprised and it's great to know that you guys know I like KFC! Haha. Fish came later.

It was sort of weird, I admit, to have such different groups of friends under the same roof Sort of awkward because I didn't really entertain everyone, just them (school friends!). Then it was cake time! So first, there on the table was a choc moist cake bought from I-don't-know-where. In my mind I was 'Choc cake? .....' disappointed! I didn't like choc cakes bought from outside. At all. Then another small heart-shaped cake appeared on the table. 'What cake is this???'. Apparently it was a carrot cake. I was still disappointed. Hmm..

Then Kat and Kev came out from the house carrying a cake with lighted candles on it. 'Happy birthday to you~~ (8)'. It was my mum's choc moist cake!!! My favourite, favourite cake of all time! My mum's homemade choc moist cake, where the 'moist' in the choc moist cake takes about 2 horus of stirring to do. It was baked my Kat this time, and it was WOW! I was so happy! Over the moon!! And the wordings on top of the cake was so perfect! (As in perfect for me) It was beautiful and perfect! THANKS KAT!

So, in the end, all ended well!!! I'm so grateful to have such great friends! Who go to lengths to surprise me! =D They met at my mum's station and Kev drove them down. I was so touched! =D It definitely made my day! The food, the cake, the drinks, the tables and chairs, the surprise... it took time, yes. And I Appreciate It!

You guys rock!

Most of all, Thanks Mum! Thanks so much!



Do you know what lucky is?

It's me!

belated posts!

Well. There are so many things I wanted to post about but have not done so. Chinese New Year was awesome!! I spent a few days in Kuching and of course, all the cousins went to Kuching, what we call cousining! This CNY's cousining was over the top! For the first time ever, all the KLs came! We had about 16 ppl sleeping in my grandma's bedroom! It was the first time we had to squeeze because we didn't have enough matresses! Poor, poor toilet! Or should I say poor, poor us who have to wait about an hour to get to your turn to use the toilet if you wake up late or you didn't sound your thoughts of wanting to use the toilet. It was crazy. As usual the fireworks were wow! Though it was shorter (I think) than the last time I was there, it was still a very, very long showcase of fireworks! It was amazing because my grandma's hosue being in a residential area with long, long rows of neighbours, the 3 houses next to each other opposite us also had family gatherings on the eve of CNY and they put on loads of fireworks. So it was right there in front of us! A hosue behind us had fireworks too, as well as the house a few hosues down from us. So we were technically surrounded by them! It was beautiful! =) Us 'kids' (ahem) watched from my grandma's room while the oldies (or more well known as adults!) watched from outside, together with the neighbours. The houses opposite us had a huge load of fireworks AND firecrackers! Contributers to sound, or noise as some people call it. We didn't get any fireworks. So the way we contributed was by singing Karaoke using the 'Sing Star'. It was so fun!! We sang those old songs, classic songs, and catchy songs. Hey Ya- outkast was so much fun singing, as well as the classics like 'we are the champions, we will rock you' and lots others. We also had crazy drama series marathon! There was a channel on astro, C324 if not mistaken, called 双星 which was broadcasting 4 drama series- They Kiss Again, You're My Destiny, Brown Sugar Macchiato, Romantic Princess. 1 series broadcasted for about 4, 8 hours? Then the next comes on. We first started watching You're My Destiny, but then we ended up watching all the series except Brown Sugar Macchiato because it was from 6.30am-10.30am I think. And we haven't woken up by then! =P It was crazy! We slept really late, woke up really late (ahem), watched tv all the time and ate those CNY snacks like we had bottomless stomachs! Most of us (including me!) got sick because of the hours and the snacks. Gosh, we finished most of the snacks watching You're My Destiny. It was enjoyable! Had a great, great time! Hope the cousins will all be there for the next cousining! Hmm, Kat was the only one not there. Oh well, till next time my cousins! And Sunnyhill too! Don't forget Iglool! =P

Sports day. I joined dancing and marching in the end, to help out Kat's friend. Dancing was fun, got to meet some funny ppl, and marching was..well, marching. Both weren't very good, but that's that I guess. It was an oka-y memory. I think sports day has become a neccessity now. As in it has become an event where we just go through it because it is there, when it used to be an event which EVERYONE anticipated and looked forward to, and also an event all of us willingly participated in. I really hope that the sports day will improve. Well, to all those participating in the interschools tracks and field, wish you THE BEST of luck!!! =D Do you best!

Oooh. Sports day. The field was in a TERRIBLE state. Because of the rain, rain, rain, the spike shoes and everything, the field was all MUDDY. The 2nd day of sports day, we met with big rain and wind! The field was literally a goner! So horrible. It made alot of ppl slip, and especially those pro runners who couldn't get 1st because they slipped, such a pity. And the field was also a reason why records were not broken this year. But it was fun watching ppl run so fast and slip, slide and get up in one smooth move. Woah. Haha! And there were a few cases were it was neck and neck between two runners near the finishing line. And in a desperate effort to pull ahead, one of them will jump over the finishing line and splash! into the mud! Haha! One case where it was 1500m I.S., two guys were neck and neck, and on eof them jumped too. And after that Mr. Yee was like 'ONE MORE ROUND! ONE MORE ROUND!' and they both were what? and had to run again. Haha! Amazingness! =D

I have been suffering many injuries or weaknesses these few days/weeks. Gosh. The right side of my body has many mosquito bite scabs and I got a cut on my right hand middle finger and right leg. I had a fever on Monday after sports day, and huge headache today. And today there were two tests- physics and sej, there are two on Sat- Chi and Add. Maths, one on Monday next week- BM rumusan. And incoming exam alarms are starting to sound! Go, Krystell! Fight to focus! That's what I need- focus! @@

Went to Little Italy for dinner at 9pm+ after my long nap after watching Ip Man on DVD after school. Dinner was with Kel only because parents and brother went out for a dinner party. Thanks, Kel! For dinner! =D

See next post for birthday celebration recount! =D

sports day

It's too rushed!!!!!! ROAR!!!!!!!

But part of me can't wait! I love sports day! There's so much activity going on. It's so lively. Bazaar on teh 5th of Feb! Welcome all of you to come! =D

And believe it or not, Go GREEN HOUSE! =D

Haha.

I'm hungry... Watched Underworld 2 yesterday with Ian and Kev. I think it's quite interesting. I enjoyed it just that it was cold for me without a jacket in the cinema. I am planning to watch Underworld 1 and 3. =D Although I don't really like movies where they have loads of creatures and they all look weird and ugly and scary and distorted in some. Haha.

Fine. I'll go to bed.

Go Jessie and Janice in sports day! Sweep everyone off their feet! =D

Oh and Janice, I don't know whether it's just me, but I can't seem to post a comment in your blog. Just to let you know! =)

Gnite all! Have sweet dreams. Or dreamless nights, for some people! ;)

Family

Being with my family for so long, to have the parents I have and the siblings I have, I am truly grateful. They are always there when I am facing a big problem or need good advice.

Being the child who was taken care of and cared for and taught by her parents, I think as children we have a responsibility to our parents that we should always try our best for them. For example, we have to learn their ways and try to accomadate them as best as we can as they were the ones who gave up a huge chunk of something to bring us up. Of course there are sometimes when we get into disagreements or arguments with them and tend to feel angry and hatred, but we should understand that it's just a passing feeling and absolutely no rash decisions should be made. Being a child for as long as I have lived, I have learned that my parents are usually always right. No matter what they say and what they decide for us, it's usually always the right thing to do/decide, even if we get really mad over it. I have also learned that it hurts your parents hurt the most when they see you cry. Of course my parents have never said anything about it, but you can see it in their faces and everything that it hurts them alot. =(

To me, I think the worst thing you can ever do to your parents is to make them feel that they have not done a good job as one, that they have failed as a parent. We have absolutely no idea how or what they feel towards us. As we have learned from Underworld 2, Heroes and other movies, they sometimes show their love in very complicated ways!

I just think that we seriously need to take time to consider what they have done for us for all our lives, that we should remember that our mums went through the worst pain ever to give birth to us. Even if we don't have any memory of that period, or the times when we kept them up all night crying for no apparent reason, or the times when we kept spitting and kicking and throwing tantrums, it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

I also think that we should also not forget how hard they have to work to give us a good life. Think of how much we spend in a month. The phone bills, the electric we use even when we sleep, the water we drink and use to clean ourselves, the expensive handphones and clothes and shoes and school fees (for those in private schools). Money seriously does not fall out from the sky. DON'T forget that.

I guess I'm just abit mad. Because is just that I feel we should know our parents better in a way that if you KNOW that they are kiasu people, then just let the small matters drop. Why press it and make everyone upset by getting into a disagreement that might turn into a cold war? Especially the small, small matters that get turned into a big issue just because both sides are so stubborn. It just gets me so angry. Maybe because I'm a person who doesn't really like arguments and things that make people sad. Or maybe it's because I feel that it's not worth it, for something so small to let you sever your ties with your parents, or at least strain it.

Ooooh, and also I totally, absolutely do not think it's worth it to get into a disagreement or a cold war with your parents because of friends. Friends, chosen correctly, can be a great gift to you. But family will always be the greatest gift, it depends on how you want to treat that gift. Family will always, always be there for you no matter what, but friendship might fade. Most friends usually disappear at some point.

I feel that (yes, another 'I feel that' statement) it's worth it (yes, another 'worth it') to lose your face and say sorry or drop the issue or admit that you are wrong even when you feel that you are right just so that it will make your parents slightly happier or avoid an argument. Disagreements and stuff like that will always affect others close to you, especially siblings if you have any. It's true! I've been there.

There's so much to say, so many thoughts running through my head. But all I want to emphasize is that treat your family members well, especially your parents. Say sorry when you have made them upset, by sms or by email or by a note, I'm sure they'll accept it no matter what.

I'm grateful for what I've got. What about you?

un-fun

I'm in Zhong class, in Green House. I just keep thinking about how it won't be that much fun during sports day without being in the same house as Angela, Pauline, Dudu, Jovie and all the other J3Ai 06-08's in Xiao. Of course I will meet new friends and have fun with them too, but it's just not the same. Things like practicing cheerdancing and staying back in school, cheering and singing in the camp, eating dinner together during night cheerdancing practice etc, it's just not that much fun without them. I still remember in J2, we managed to pull quite a few of us to join cheerdancing, and there was one night practice where we all bought dinner from ManTai, and we all sat on the edge of the field in a circle, joking and laughing. It was awesome! It's just getting me down when I think about how different it would be this year.

It's just so rushed! Sports day in Tshung Tsin is supposed to be the best part of the year. The school compound is always filled with people after school. But now it's something stressful and not as fun. I take pity on the S3s who have to organize it all by themselves. Sigh.

It's the cake thing that is getting me so down. Anyhow, I'm going out to watch a movie. I'm off to Kuching tomorrow! It feels great to not have school!

Buahahahhahaha
