Little dough ball day.

I went out with my dad this evening to buy satay for dinner, and I think I saw my bus driver. There is no way I could've mistaken his janggut yang sangat-sangat besarrr dan berwarna-warni.

I never thought I'd see him again.

So, the 3R party. 

A lot happened that day, and the day after that, so I didn't have the chance to write about it. 

Anyway, the party. It was filled with stupid party games, pink fizzy drinks and corny music. A few people won a few prizes and I pretty much had a great time. I would upload pictures, but meh, the internet lags enough now. Maybe later. Or tomorrow.

Baoxin just asked me if I knew what day today is. "Little dough ball day?" I said. 
To which she replied, "Ah?"

Today's the day in the Chinese calendar where everyone turns a year older (sorta like officially, says my grandma) and they eat these little dough balls in syrupy stuff in accordance to their age (for example, I have to eat fifteen because I'm fifteen, and so on. Imagine if you're 99 years old..). Actually I don't know how to eat these things 'cause they're like chewing gum and you have to swallow 'em whole.

I know the Chinese have weird customs. CNY rocks, though. (If you're wondering, I'll be back for CNY so I can ask people for money.)

Anyway, Maz and Effie were on television Friday night. RTB interviewed them because they were very pandai and hardworking. 8A people. Hahah. 
Maz, I'm awfully proud of you.
Effie, you're going to be even more famous now, famous person. Don't deny it. Stella agrees with me.


P.S. Tira, I now have four badges, and my only two of my Pokémon are above level 30. =) I'm so lazy to train, I know.

Rain: snow Brunei style.

It rained early (it was almost ten when I woke up) this morning and over breakfast (pancakes, yum) I said out loud, "Rain: snow Brunei style!"

Christmas is coming. I went out with my dad yesterday to play with the toys on sale at Hua Ho Tanjong Bunut. Then we decided to buy some for my brother and my cousins for Christmas. I won't say what they are, in case someone tells Nate or Isaac and ruins the surprise. 

There was this Elmo toy thing on sale that said "Elmo loves you, really. Mwah, mwah." I think it freaks little kids out. Super life-like toys should be illegal. Seriously.


R class party is later. At somewhere. At sometime. =)

Dress code: White, black or red.

That's pretty interesting. 

I love Eddsworld. Zanta Claws II is here. Ah, Christmas specials. 

I'm downloading software for my iPod Touch now. It says "7 hours remaining". Internet here lags. Real bad.

But you know, it's better than nothing, I s'pose.

What?

Have to wake up early tomorrow, do some stuff, learn some things. Meh. 

I don't know why I have to go to a high school "of Mathematics and Science". Number one, I don't like Maths. Number two, I'm probably going to be the laziest person studying there. Number three, I don't like Maths. Number four, it's too much work. Number five, I don't like Maths.

What I do know is that the solutions to my problems are simple: I have to learn how to be hardworking and studious and try to brainwash myself into loving Math. 

I love Maths. 

Maybe I'll go to hell for saying such a big lie. Maybe I'll try again.

I really like Maths when it's easy, and when equations can be solved in a blink of an eye. I like Maths when it makes you seem cool, and when you get loads of As for it. I like Maths because when you understand and when you do it right, people think you're smart. I like Maths because it's a huge step forward for mankind. *cough*

Oh, Handy Manny is like, the next generation Bob the Builder. 

I believe Bob eloped with Wendy and migrated to Spain and changed their names. Then they had a son called Handy uh...Manny and then suddenly died of a mysterious disease. 

It's a strange theory, I know.

I mean, first talking cement mixers and now talking screwdrivers? 
It has to be related somehow.

Power cut.

I had lunch at Excapade with my cousin yesterday, and conned him into feeding my brother. Ah, the sweet power of manipulation.

So I went home, went online, and went to congratulate Stella repeatedly for scoring (however kalok she claims it to be; it still counts) 8A1s. We started talking about nose-picking (a continuation from yesterday) and decided to add Effie to our convo for greater effect. 

Our conversation progressed from "thou shalt insert thy gloved finger into thy heavenly nostrils" to whacking people on the butt with sticks and weird emoticons. 
And then, out of the blue, all of a sudden, there was a crash boom and I found myself staring at a blank computer screen. 

I assessed my situation: Computer switched off, air conditioner no longer working, lack of flashing lights from my modem, et cetera. 

Familiar situation, that was. Then I realised we had a power cut. 

The people working on the construction site opposite my house apparently broke/snapped/snagged/did something bad to a power line with a truck/crane/big vehicle used for construction. 

We went without power for three hours. A three hours in which mosquitoes decided I tasted very nice indeed. I still itch from them. I don't hate mosquitoes though. Even if they give you dengue fever or malaria. It's not exactly their fault.


Note: I wrote this post a few days ago, but I didn't post it because I was busy watching television. =) 
I just woke up, and had to send a few emails so I decided to post this out-of-date post. I'm waiting for my mum to pick us up to go to my uncle's house. Family gathering thing.

I'll try to post another post later on. 

Adieu.

Right.

I'm such an arsehole.

I think most people know this already, but what the hell: results are out. 

Congratulations to everybody who got 8As, or were at least satisfied with their results. 

I passed my BM. As long as I didn't flunk. Just. 

The waiting is over, people. Now we strive forward, to see what the future brings us, whether we get straight As or not...

Work hard, work smart, work your ass off for the future. Because it's all worthwhile.

Remember, O-levels are next.

I'm so evil. I know.

Memories.

My room is a bigger mess than ever. Great time to start unpacking after moving in six years ago.

Honestly, I don't mind, because we found this nursery report from when I was three. 


We went to the KFC at Giant today to take away some food for lunch at my cousin's house.
Apparently they were out of both wedges and chips, so Chun Wee and I had to look after my brother (aka the hyperactive monster) while my mum went to buy chips from Jollibee.

How on earth can a fast food restaurant be out of wedges or chips? That's seriously outrageous. It's like they're just throwing away their business. Tsk tsk. 

DQ is almost always out of chocolate. I'd have given up ordering chocolate-dipped cones, but it never hurts to try.
Once they even ran out of ice cream, and I had to wait for them to make some more. I mean, how on earth could they "run out of ice cream"? It's like going to a seafood restaurant and being told they'd run out of fish, prawns, crabs and other animals that live in water we consume.

Reminder: If the results do come out tomorrow, please do NOT let me know/inform me/tell me what I got. I prefer to live in ignorance because I'm a coward. =)
