Ramblings

As I thought about it, I decided (again!)
that I'll not see you more than you should be.

Being narcissistic doesn't help anyone (unless you talk to douche bags =_=)
And anyway, I'll never work out with you, so!

This is goodbye....

Also Lord,
I hope that You will help me on this.
I feel like this is a difficult test for me,
and I'm really not happy that he is a test.

But on the other hand, I also kinda feel happy that you gave me this test
cause it would mean that I would be able to pass it (with flying colours, I hope! :)

And anyways, you wouldn't give us humans great tests that we can't handle.
So let this feelings of mine dissappear like Neopets and Ichumon.

Either You or him... as it can never be both.
Teach me to draw the line and stop where friendship ends.
This is what I pray,
Amen.

And from now on, I'll fill my dreams with outings with chele and SR,
and baking and assignments and a 4.0 GPA.

PS. chele, I know the power of peer pressure,
So I hope you'll be able to help me remember this if I ever go back against what I said here.
Please bear with me, kay? It's really difficult since I've stupidly proclaimed it
(for the first time) to the world...

With much love, :D

rofl!! I almost signed off with my real name XD

The WORD was WITH GOD... in Old Testament

So, here is the counter post!
(okay, not really counter post, but a little sharing on my side when I read Michele's post) :P

I actually opened my Bible for this! 8D

John 1:1-2 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God; he was in the beginning with God.

John 1:3-4 All things were made through him and without him nothing came to be. Whatever has come to be, found life in him, life which for humans was also light.

This is how the book of John (in the NT) starts of; with reference to the Lord Jesus Christ as the "Word". And, in the book of Genesis, how did God create the world with all its creatures, stars, moon and sun?

Genesis 1: 3 God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light.

Genesis 1: 6 God said, "Let there be a firm ceiling between the waters and let it separate waters from waters."

Genesis 1: 9 - 10 God said, "Let the waters below the sky be gathered together and let dry land appear." And so it was. God called the dry land "Earth" and the waters gathered together he called 'Seas'. God saw that it was good.

Now, this means that the Lord Jesus was with God since creation, just that at that time,
He wasn't born (in human form) yet and thus had no name.

He also didn't have a form like a human being, since God's mighty plan of salvation wasn't revealed just yet.

So, in other words, the Lord Jesus was with God, in the mysterious form of God's Word.

Also, we Christians believe in the mysterious being of God as having 3 persons in one God;
God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

So if God the Father was mentioned in the Old Testament, obviously, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit would be present there, too... just not mentioned (if you don't read between the lines)

And yes, Michele, your reference to Luke and David was right :D
Go back and tell your teacher to study the Bible properly;
what's a lecturer if she can't get her facts right and has to rely on her students to tell her the facts? :S

*one lousy one* rofl!! :x

*she sure is proud to have read THAT much of the Bible without studying it properly to be able to come to that conclusion*

=/

XD lol.

SPM Result D-day!!!

So, yeah.

The title says it.

Today is the D-day for the SPM Result.

I can tell you... ugh.

Last night, at SR's, [wee early in the morn... 1 - 2 a.m., I think?]

the three of us sat down at her big kitchen table,

eating super light supper and drinking [ahbutthen?] plain water.

We were discussing our feelings, hopes, dreams, experiences and our expectations for today's result.

Needless to say, we were all...

"*sigh* dun wanna think about it liao..."

"scared can't get straight As liao..."

"sure won't get straight As liao..."

=.=;;

[lol. You match the correct statement to the right person between
Michele, She-Reen and I]

So, we talked about SR's stories in NS;

chele's dislikes about the pressure-fying people pressure-fying her life,

and I... just listen. and laugh.

[lol, sorry Allan. Didn't realize how loud my laugh was x.x]

Then chele said that it was no use regretting, and asked us [honestly] when we got our results and weren't happy with them, and if we were able to turn back time, would we have gone back to work harder?

For me...

Honestly, no.

I know I wouldn't.

I couldn't.

I'm not that discplined enough for that.

In fact, I would have done the exact same thing I did last year anyways.

There would be no difference whether or not I re-wound the clock.

So I just had to accept whatever results that the Lord gave to me.

Fast-forwarding after that,

we were sitting in the hall for about... 1 hour, waiting for the teacher to announce our result.

Here's some pictures to go with this... segment xD

Teacher Faridah becoming the MC for the Results Announcing Ceremony

The headmaster, En. Hj Khany giving his headmaster's speech.

lol, he was so happy with us, saying that our batch have improved by 10% compared to 2005

compare our batch to last year, we improved by 2%

lol.

89.2% on average passed... lol

I tell you...

it was damn nerve-wrecking wei!

When they announced that there were 17 top excellent students, we were like...

*cricket cue*

Then, starting from 17, we went right up to number 1.

Wow. Lol!!

It was super surprising, jaw-dropping, and a lot of drama-filled moments! x.x

Yeah, I know. WAHLAO.

The people you didn't expect to score, scored.

The people who you expected to score... also scored la! But maybe not as high...

Well, I've been away from school for a long time, and I was thinking...

"Hm... yeah... okay..."

without even realizing who was supposed to score and who... wasn't expected to score.

Ah well.

If you're wondering why I wasn't as nervous, I will tell you;

it's because I had already been told my result.

About how many As I had.

But not where I was in that placing.

I tell you ah...

I was telling Mum on having the 10As thing.

I told her... "I'm only confident in getting 5As on 5 subjects...

BI, Moral, Add Maths, Maths, and BK."

Turns out, yeah, I predicted correctly the subjects that I would score...

except BK. D:

And for the rest, which I said, I don't think I could perform, God allowed me to do well.

Thank you, God.

So, what did I get?

At first I was like...

*jaw drop*

*heart beats*

*excitement... no more*

Happy? I didn't want to be too happy.

Sad? How to be sad when you already know your result?

But I was unhappy with one thing, though.

"WHY MY BK RESULT IS A, NOT A+?!" D:

... actually, when I thought about it, I kind of felt VERY dissappointed.

I kept thinking, "What went wrong?"

Where did I go wrong? T^T

I dunno. God probably didn't want to give me A+ for a good reason.

This results was in His Hands, in the first place.

Lord, help me to accept your will.

Help me to understand; help me to stop myself from questioning you, o Lord.

Help me to be humble this way. I need You, Lord.

Please grant me this grace. Thank you, Lord.

Your Will be done.



Amen.

So, besides that, I went to collect the testimonials [I think]

and then got my school's magazine :)

Nice right? :)

Credits to Blake for the cover, lol...

In fact, I also took back with me, my set of Scholastic Books!

There were 7 of mine...

[2 belonged to my sister]

AWESOME!!

Wait, what?

There's only 6 books up there?

Yeah, that's because...

"Coffeehouse Angel" is missing D:

What de?

RM15.00 worth is missing?!

Oh noez!!

I'll return the receipt and ask Teacher what to do tomorrow D:

I called so many people, and told them.

Many also called me, and asked me.



Their reactions?

Mum: *screams*... I'm so proud of you!! Congratulations!

*tells the whole world*

Dad : Yeah? Congratulations! :)

Sis : Ah, yeah? Okay, bye.

Aunty Corinne: Eh congratulations, wei!
See, I told you right, the History for the whole Malaysia K.O ady!

BK Teacher: Congratulations! Haha, it's okay.
You've come a long way. It's okay, you did your best!

Neighbour-next-door: Oh, straight As? Oh, 5 A+ ah?
My nephew ah, he also straight A student. Yeah, he got 11 A+!

-.-;;

Yeah. That's the reactions of the people who wanted to know my result.

Of course, there are so many more people who asked, and were told; but I have no time to fit them all here, I have to go bathe.

Going to eat out today. o.o

Okays, gotta go! Ciao!

P.S. Thank you, Uncle Tan for belanja-ing drink and breakfast for me today. :)


[EDITED]

There was a dinner sort of gathering that Diviya, Angeline and Fiona [sorry if I had missed out on your name, if you had planned it too...] had organized, and I was invited [thanks, guys ;D]

Sorry I couldn't go.
I didn't feel right...
Ditching my parents right after the sleepover D:
Plus they were super excited about my result [praise be to God!!]

So... You asked what was the celebration, right?
Here it is;

 The menu x)

Okay, I didn't snap photos of the food after that, sorry no mouth-watering dishes for you to see.

The food was excellent, though :)
Was super-full after that.

Sorry Lord.
I broke my fast at dinner today. Again D:

ANGEL Book Review

Yeah, guys.

It's time for another review!

Which is a book review!

And I need to go quickly too! lol x)

Okays, let's go on with this xD

Intro:
This book was given to me last Christmas. By sis.
Sorry, forgot to mention that she gave me this book in the Prezzie post ;3
 

"The Only Good Angel Is A Dead Angel"

Sypnosis:

Willow knows she's different from other girls.
And not just because she loves tinkering around with cars. Willow has a gift. She can look into people's futures, know their dreams, their hopes and their regrets, just by touching them. She has no idea where she gets this power from...

But Alex does. Gorgeous, mysterious Alex knows Willow's secret and is on a mission to stop her. The dark forces within Willow make her dangerous - and irresistible.
In spite of himself, Alex finds he is falling in love with his sworn enemy.

My review?

IT WAS 
AWEEEEESSSSOMMMMMMEEEE!!!

*clears throat*
Ahem, excuse me for that xD

Truth to be told, it was kinda boring in the first few pages of Chapter 2, when I was first introduced to Willow. But after that, it was smooth sailing.
[Not to say I skipped the Prologue, okay, lol]

hm... there's no 18+ rating stuff though, and it's okay for those 12+ to read.
You know what it means if it's safe for my sis, ;)

It is L. A. Weatherly's first book, I think.
It has 507 pages, and it comes in a nice cover. lol

SPOILER ALERT!

So, this book is about... angels.
Who come to Earth because their world is dying.
And apparantly, they come to earth to feed of humans.

Nothing good comes out of it, though.
The humans who are fed upon becomes sicker, and more mentally afflicted.
Their "aura" becomes grey-er, more and more dull.

Yet, they think that the angels were good to them.
As if it was the best experience they ever had.

Alex is an angel killer.
[I actually wonder how he can kill angels with physical bullets when they are actually spiritual beings... Well, it's fiction after all]
17-years-old, and is a mean machine, controlling charkras to see angels.
His hatred for angels run deep...
as it was because of the angels that his whole family died.

Willow is a gentle girl.
Half angel, half human, she seems to have it in her to destroy the angels.
She's 17, too. lol.
She's also pyshic, thanks to her half-angel.

Plot goes like this:
Willow reads a friend, Beth, who had been fed on by an angel, Paschar.
Then Paschar finds out about Willow through Beth, and is afraid. Paschar warns Raziel, head angel of Church of Angels [yeah I know, weird name].

Raziel then dispatches Alex to kill Willow.

Alex tries to kill Willow, but can't.
As she is half-angel, half-human.
Then he refuses to kill Willow...
and suspects that his "boss" is an angel.

Then Willow goes to the Church of Angels,
almost got caught by the angry mob,
runs away with Alex...
ends up falling in love...

then tries to kill all other angels during the coming of the Second Wave of Angels,
but mysteriously fails, almost dying.
Alex arrives in the nick of time to rescue her...


Honestly, I kinda love this book.
It's not 18+ rated, which is awesome, or else I have to skip pages =.=;

It kept me entertained, and wondering: what will happen next?
There are some heart-stopping moments, actually.

Heck, this book reminds me of Numbers
without the dying stuff and apocalypse stuff...
and with a slightly mild cursing too.

If only Alex wouldn't swear against the Lord, that'll be great.

Another one complaint, though.
After you finish reading this, you won't be able to look at angels the same way again...
maybe for a day or two.
 [In a negative way, I mean]

Don't try this book for any sort of spiritual stuff; it's a ♥ novel. lol
[erm... hate-turns-to-love sort of thing? yeah.]


***

-Spoiler Ends-

Pros:
Good book,
Great plot.
Nice idea... involving angels, lol
Captivating read. [For a day... at my speed]

Lots of suspense.
Suitable for 12+

Cons:
Some parts were overly described [cause I noticed it? lol]
Has mild cursing, [using the Lord's name]
Too little action scenes [I want MORE!!]
Is a trilogy D:

Okay, so now I'll need to watch out for the next book, Angel Fire...
somewhere this June.

The third book would be out in 2012.
Why do I have a feeling that the books have already been written? -.-;

Ratings?

★★★★★

 I feel lonely :(

16th June and 17th June; Sleepover + Add Math + Late night Movie Marathon... @ She-Reen's house

I thought I'd be the latest there, seemingly I agreed to arrive at 9 a.m., but I came at 9.25 a.m.
Well, who'd knew that I would be... the earliest? xD

Then Diviya arrived, so the three of us started the Add Maths project while waiting for Michele, who was needed to affirm the prices of goods that was in her handwriting...

While that, She-Reen's dog, Hugo accompanied us [as if we weren't alone :(]
He made himself looked more like a loner [awwww... :(]

He was actually looking out... but he heard me, so...
*haiz*

Lunch! Yum!!

Dinner! :D
Ikan Bilis soup! :9

Sorry, not sure what this is...
*shrug*
but it tasted good :9

The food that you need to put inside the Ikan Bilis soup...
I actually *hearts* the rectangular 'flavoured' tofu
Could spend hours eating it... ;9

hm... really lazy to give you the full account. Let's say that Diviya went home, She-Reen watched her drama, Michele was surfing the Net, I updated my blog and edited pictures.

Too bad  Diviya can't stay longer. Wished you did =P

At 10.30 p.m., the three of us watched Twilight.

Taken from; website
Twilight Poster

Alright, first, I'll say that it's weird that I watched New Moon first, then [properly] watching Twilight. But I don't like Twilight anyway, and I don't know why Robert Pattinson [is this how you spell his name? Flame me, *sticks tongue* bleeeeeeh] is so damn famous *eyeroll*

So blah. Twilight dialogue was damn awkward. There was so many other things they could choose to say, but decided on THAT to say *eyeroll again*

Next, The Proposal. I watched this already, so She-Reen and I fell asleep. Maybe it was partly because this time, we were all lying down. I heard from Michele and She-Reen the next morning that Michele had laughed so loud that She-Reen woke up many times ;x

Truthfully, I was sound asleep. Michele's plan to laugh extra loud in order to wake me totally failed. I only woke up when the movie was over and they told me to sleep in the centre ;x

The next day, I finished the Thailand post, had breakfast, had snacks, had lunch, read debate material, and said goodbye to She-Reen. I had to send Michele back, so we left at 4 p.m.
The original plan was to go out, to the mall... or somewhere *shrugs*
It didn't work out because... Michele had tuition. D:

BTW;

Souvenir! :)

Thank you, She-Reen!
Love the turtle :D

Anyways, I'm also going to blog about today :)
and give you some reviews later, on books that I read during my Thailand trip ;x

I got up, bathed and 'played' my computer. I finally know how to create brushes on Photoshop Creative Suite 3 [CS3] :)
Love it! Bad news? I accidentally deleted all the original brushes I had =.=

oh well. At 1.30 p.m., Mum rushed Monica and I to IOI Mall. We were heading there to meet up with Vicky and her family to watch 'Karate Kid'.

Taken from; website
The Karate Kid

My verdict? This is a really good movie to watch :)
I believe that it's a great movie about [West says] moving on with life and [Japanese says] dealing with problems head-on.

It has humour, slice of life, and every part is definitely worth watching as you get to feel a character based on what Dre is going through.
It's like, an American boy trying to find his place in China... facing the [kung fu-style] bullies head on, and winning the friendship of a Chinese girl, Mei Ling... no wait, friendship? Lovers, more like *nods*
Okay, if they were in Malaysia doing what they did at the shadow theater, lots of people will disapprove, and the local news would publish it on paper D:

Oh well. What happens in the movies is mostly fanasty.
Anyways, it is a good movie to bring your child and teach him about never giving up; or backing down when life beats you down. It's the main lesson of this story.

Just food for thought. Is this movie really named 'The Karate Kid'? It feels more like, 'The Kung Fu Kid'. I think someone had miss-named this movie. Someone call the director, Mr. Harald Zwart!

Quote Dre, "It's not Karate, Mom! It's Kung Fu!"

haha xD

After watching the movie, I went into the Padini Concept Store to wait for Mum. Oh, She-Reen; we need to talk. Seriously.

Okay. Some pictures for you to feast your eyes on;

The carousel. Brings back memories, eh?

Have you ever noticed the rooftop of IOI old wing before? o.o

There was a Father's Day stand there...
Which I presume that it was meant for the fathers to take photos
But my Mum decided she was a father, and my sis decided to be the background ;x

Finally, you can see what it really looked like :)
Lol at the World Cup trophy
Who's side are you on this year?
I'm on Shenkuu!!... wait, that's in Neopets =.=

Even Coca-cola's promoting the World Cup o.o

Random aquarium picture.
I was waiting for Mum at the Niichi Store after Monica bought her 'Kapoh' [with a silent 'H']

I wanted to take the wordings on that red, round sign, but Monica decided otherwise ==

My bag's zipper :)

Oh look!! A fish!!
*excited*

My heels, as a model xD

Guess who's feet are these??

I like these branches. If only I could Photoshop like this...
*haiz*

We then went home.
Monica and I had digital gadgets on our minds that we personally wanted. She wanted a compact, digital, touchscreen camera... while I wanted a pair of headphones.

Are Logitech good ones? o.o

Taken from; website

OH! Love them!!

But sister said not to get them yet, as there were other shops I could look at @.@
Oh well *sigh*

Oh! Book report!!




Taken from; website
Dream/Dress/Date

Technically, these were She-Reen's books that I borrowed last year and read this year. I know, late and all *sigh*
Anyways, as proven, once I pick something up and read it, it's difficult to put down.

First we have... Jordan?? Yeah, head cheerleader and all; who discovers there's more than the outer shell of the prefect blonde 'It' girl when she's with Shane. She discovers her inner Goth-self [oooohhhh]...

Then, we have... Nisha, born in India, bred in America; she keeps her American and Indian selves apart from one another; lying to both sides... boyfriend Brian and to her Indian family. She refuses to be the middle person or take sides when her two best friends lead a massive catfight...

Lastly, we have... Tara, the ever stressing President of the Prom community. Secretly, she's in love with Nate, her bestie, Jordan's boyfriend. But when a secret admirer came over and she gave him a makeover, she's totally gone head-over-heels with him. After the massive, shocking break-up of Prom King and Queen [mainly because of her big mouth], she tries to make it better, but her good intentions backfire.

Will this be the end of the friendship between the three musketeers? Will they even make it for the ever-glamourous Prom??

Technically, once I've gotten 'into' the book, I would not pay attention to anything else besides the book. All the way, you'll find yourselves wondering whether Tara and Jordan could just push aside all pride and prejudice between them and come clean with themselves. At the same time, you'll be rooting for Nisha, hoping that somehow, she'll come clean with her parents too... especially about her American boyfriend, Brian.

Um... that's how I felt, anyways :)

Next up;


website
Dark Angels

This book was... sort of boring. Once I put it down, it stayed down and was unable to capture my interest until I forced myself to read it again. Things only gotten more interesting when Nest was about to be married with Godfried... wait... Godfry... or something. Humour only came about after Nest scolded... um... Brother... something. See? I even forgot the characters.

Anyways, like the cover, it was not my cup of tea, using religious figures [like 'Brothers', 'Church', 'Devil' and such] in the book. Bleh!

Final review;

Dragon Slippers

Personally, I loved this book, right up to the very end :)
Creel is hardworking, determined, brave and witty when it comes to being who she is. Also, I hated Princess... Amalia sooo much that I thought I would have had enough hatred to storm the castle and strangle her, fighting all the castle guards.

Oh, the best part is when Creel feels a longing loss as Shardas gets influenced by the power of Princess Amalia... and when Prince Luka elaborately tells Creel about a stolen Rose Pane at the local Church, and when Velika suddenly appears before Creel's very eyes with a witnessing, tramping, shrill Princess Amalia.

Um... this book is definitely worth your while *wink*

HAPPY 100th POSTS!!!

*spoken in order-ish tone*

Congratulate me!!


RAWR if you don't! Face the undesired [and very unrealistic] consequences if you FAIL to comply with my demands!!

*says the evil queen :[*
*rolls eyes*

So... what I've been missing to tell you lately...

IN truth, I kinda thought I'd like this movie...
and I do!
... Well, just a tiny bit :D
[maybe cause it's Gerard Butler as the main accent actor, and his *is it Irish?* voice stealing the show]

*shrugs* oh well.
hm... apart from that, I guess it wasn't that entertaining. Maybe cause the ending's kinda sudden :o

When it should not be. I sorta also forgot the main plot D:
Either I'm kinda defective or the movie is D:

Anyways...
Today my family and I went to AmCorp Mall to repair my younger sister's phone [which IS sorta defective]
And it turns out that we spent MOST of our afternoon there [in BooksExcess *.*]

I was thinking that I would not get any books, but since I was gonna something which involves fiction, magic and adventure, I got this:

Blame my phone camera if this pic causes you to squint your eyes. I have no other better camera to rely on since the family's camera just died.

Then Mum wanted a discount, so I got this book as well :D

I think it's gonna be lovely [and swell] lol? The price tag is still on XD

I'm so totally for the girl... [the main characters are brother sister who are supposed to be wizard + witch]

I actually read until chapter 8 in the book store before buying it xP

Oh well. Later I'm off for dinner in my late grandmother's house...

Kiss Chemistry exam goodbye T^T

TOMORROW'S PAPER :
CHEMISTRY I & II

On Tuesday, you're not gonna see moi in school. No sireee!!
Now, where's that broom?
