2 more days! :)

The Legend of the Candy Cane
by Lori Walburg

I feel like reading that book all over again. Its definitely a children's book, but its my favorite Christmas story. Its really nicely illustrated too, and you know that feeling when you read a really nice story with all the drawings? Sometimes I wish Narnia had drawings.

Anyhow, the last couple of days have not been nice. My voice has been disappearing and coming back again, and then I start talking and it cracks up. Its very disturbing.

Plus, I've been working non-stop and will take a test tomorrow - it's Christmas Eve! :-O All my parents seem to be pleased at is if I'm doing work. I don't even think my December "holidays" have been much like holidays, I've hardly gone anywhere except school.

I dread next year cause I have to work like a mad man, sorry I mean girl. My goal is to graduate July 2011, which is possible if I work really hard. And plus, I need to work extra hard to higher up my GPA. GRC's system of GPA really frustrates me. A 91% average is a GPA of 3, in GRC standard.

In STANDARD systems, 91% is A- which is a GPA of 3.6!

HAH. TAKE THAT. :D

I do not like our system. It makes me look.. I dunno. I just don't like it. Now I need to get a 4 on some of my subjects so I can higher it to at least 3.2 or higher.

But I guess it doesn't matter much, cause when colleges look at my transcript they see my average and not just my CGPA so maybe they'll use their system to calculate my GPA. Then I'll get a 3.5 or something. :)

Oh, but it doesn't matter anyway. The majors I'm considering don't even need high academic scores and all, since it all involves the left brain. So actually, I basically don't why I'm working so hard.

I GUESS IT'S CAUSE I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO GRADUATE. :D

Heh. Enough rambling.

Anyhow, tomorrow's Christmas Eve. Going for a candlelight service and of course, staying up all the way till its Christmas day. Don't you just lovee Christmas. I heart it.

♥ Before Christmas

Due to my terrible tolerance for pain, I am alone at home while my whole family is at church. What could be better? Oh, the joy - NOT. My nose is absolutely a fountain of snot, my stomach hurts, I have my best friend, and my voice is.. practically gone.

For a quiet person, I guess losing one's voice isn't that bad, but you're talking about me! D: I am dying. Its like.. being antisocial is really terrible.

So I watched Poseidon Adventure 2006. Mike Vogel and Josh Lucus. :D But it was so scary and sad, kinda like Titanic. Except Titanic is sadder.

Anyhow, as I have totally abandoned to this blog, it's time to update about my week.

Monday, December 14th

Headed off to Bee's early in the morning. She was like half awake while Saph and I were wide awake. After eating some porridge with her, we walked to school. It's really close. :) Well, we went there and Joel abandoned us again, making Pom and I talk to the.. wall. ;P Haha. The school was boiling hot, no aircon. So we headed off to Bee's again after lunch. Played the Wii, watched a movie, etc.

After Sarah and Saph had left, Pom and I went totally high playing smooth moves on the Wii and cheerleading with the weird cheerleader girls on the screen. Muahah. I love being crazy with her. :)

Not forgetting, I beat Bee in bowling. 223 vs. 191.

Thursday, December 17th
This is when I lost my beautiful voice. Thank goodness I gained it back on Friday. :D So, I did an Art LPT in the morning and it was hard! D: I had to draw the features of a face but hardest was the shadows. Cause the book has specific shadows and all, and it was like... I DIDN'T STUDY IT! D: Meh.

Then, there was the whole process of cleaning the house only to ruin all my hard work when I baked later on. Not to mention got high. There was ants in the sugar so I was giving them a sugary death. Then I got all high imagining if SNOW was SUGAR. So rapture. :D Then then, I had to sieve the floor but I kept on calling it "shift the floor" and totally shifted it all over the floor. Oops.

 Friday, Decemeber 18th

Woke up early, for once. Saph came at about 9.30. We started on our pound cake. :) Then, we moved on to gingerbread cookies when I decorated an epic failure.  They started making fun of it and my sister came up with a rule that if one of us makes one cookie that doesn't look nice in all our opinions, we strike out and can't decorate any more. Oh the pressure. :P But don't worry, I decorated very nice cookies and worked the fastest. They still mock my failure though. D:

Went on to the gingerbread house. HAHA. Marshmellow fun, indeed. After melting a batch of marshmellows, we'd all quickly grap it and spread it as fast as possible. The funniest was my chimney. Those two were like, "it won't work", etc. but i managed to stick it on after a few attempts and a lot of laughter. It looked nice okay!?

I don't have the pictures. Wait for Saph to update.

After all the baking was completed we got pretty bored around 4'oclock. Went to the playground in the rain. (No wonder I'm sick!) So, I, not wanted to get sick, went to sit in the slide. But there was a litle puddle at the top of the slide so I moved to sit inside more. Only to lose my balance and yeaa, start sliding down. I was like, lying on my back, sliding down, and SPLASH! Full speed into this HUGE PUDDLE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SLIDE. Soaked indeed.

Well, at that point, Tommy arrived so my sister set off to get him while Saph and I stayed at the park. Saph was like, "Let's go swing!". So we smartly sat on the blue swings and swung. After a while, I realized and jumped up and exclaimed, "ARE MY SHORTS BLUE?" Thus, we nicknamed it blue pants crisis. We called Lyds and was like, "We have a blue pants crisis." "A what?!" HAHA.

Of course we went back upstairs to wash our precious shorts and left Lyds and Tommy in the living room. :P Hahah, plus we took the longest time and made the loudest noise and laughed the loudest when this classic SMS arrived. *winks!* Then, after changing, we went downstairs to the poolside.

Everyone started arriving then. Saph and I went to the babypool to swim. I fell in. I TELL YOU, WATER DOES NOT LIKE ME. So, since I was all wet already, we went to the big pool. And jumped in. And then the guard pointed out crap that was inside. We obviously jumped out. What more, I dunked my hair in. Ugh.

Chitchatted, went up to shower, labeled pressies with Pom. Jon still wasn't there. D: It's like 50% his party, according to him. Haha. Later on, my sis told us he couldn't com. =.=

Well, the regulars. Ate, talked, opened presents, played Twister, Uno, Skip-Bo, sent people down... till it left just Saph, Quel, Sarah, Celine, and Josh. Ahah. Played some game (idk the name) where three people are picked and say they were in the barn burning and you could only save one, which one would you pick? We gave Quel the hardest three people ever. She couldn't decide! Saph was like, "oih, if it really happens and you're standing outside the barn thinking, 'hmm. hmm. which one should I save' and those three are jumping up and down screaming, 'HELP, HELP!' and you can't decide, they all die already!" HAHA.

I was dead tired at 12 so I went to sleep while the others talked all the way up to 2. :P Sadly, I skipped it but oh well. I have no secrets to tell. ;)

Saturday, December 19th

Okay, I was antisocial. My throat burned, my nose wouldn't stop running, fountain of snot seriously! I didn't really do anything. Sat, stoned, chatted on MSN, er.. taught hyper quel some cheerleading, um.. yeaa. It was a sad pitiful day. What to do. D:

Oh, and when I walked Raquel home, I slipped on this puddle and almost got wet doing some retarded split. Geez. I tell you, water seriously does not like me. What did I do?!

Now, for the randoms! :P

•  Bee randomly SMSed me last night while I was sleeping just to say, "Eh you know i think the school should have badminton tournament next year. HahahaHahahaHa." ookay..?
• Joel is being unnaturally being nice to me and not making fun of me. How sweet. He has promised to try to be gentlemanly and not do stuff like take my chair away from me. *cough* I told him, he should take lessons from Fer or something....
• ... oh, and I told him to become a GOOD 18-year-old. Cause generally these days, 18-year-olds are either good or bad. Never in between. I am giving him lessons. Such a good big sister, yes. :P
• Melissa is back! :) Planning to meet with her soon.
• Matthew corrected my English and was correct.  I said, "You should of come"... I corrected it to, "You should of came." He said, "It's suppose to be.. 'You should have come' " Zomg. Improvement indeed. Eishh. :-O
  
•  I can't wait for Christmas. <3
  

Christmas time

Since Christmas is nearing, I decided to change my blog template to a more holiday sort of theme. Thus the snowflakes and green & red colors. I don't know about you, but to me it seems a bit over. Like its too much of an eyeful. I shall see how to make it.. simpler. :) Maybe remove the header and add borders instead or something of that sort.

Anyhow, at church today, the whole service was some skit by the children. It was really funny when the Inn Keepers went to get their signs that read, "No more room". Well, this girl held her sign upside down, and the narrator, some cute little girl, whispered (in the mic btw), "IT'S UPSIDE DOWN!" HAHA.

So now I have all the dramas, skits, everything running through my head. My sister has this weird longing these couple of days to organize one. She could of had that longing a bit early! Then, I remembered the Christmas musical I did in my old school. It was about cats and mice, I dressed up as a mouse.. and it was like.. a skit and then during intervals, the whole school choir would sing. I had a solo then. :O But I just love the songs we sang. It was like.. cat and mouse based.

Like....
Oh tidings of tuna and cheese,
Tuna and cheese
Oooh tidings of tuna and cheese,
Fa la la la, yeah yeah yeah

And...
Christmas time is no time,
No time for diet
So grab your fork and dive right in!

I know, it sounds so childish, but if you heard it with the tune and all the skits and solos and all. It was a really really nice drama.

Plus, I have all the regular Christmas songs stuck in my head. Jingle Bells, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Oh bring the fiddle puddling (We wish you a Merry Christmas), etc. Not the Christian ones. :P

And I know another version for Away In A Manger. And got it mixed up with the traditional version. We sang it in church today and yea, I screwed up. I started singing the other version. ;)

Well, tomorrow I'm off to Bee's and school. Want to take a test, score, get tests to take at home, etc. :D And of course, scheme with my partner-in-crime, Pom. :) Can't wait.

So breathe it in and breathe it out
Listen to your heartbeat
There’s a wonder in the here and now
It’s right there in front of you
And I don’t want you to miss
The miracle of the moment.

I am so content. :) Went to 1U today and spent 5 full hours just simple shopping. :D My mom, sister, and I spent altogether less than RM200. Not bad eh? :D I spent like RM80 on my stuff. I am such a shopaholic. And Cotton On is the best best. I bought shorts and a cardigan thingy. Omg, so rapturous.

Also, I did Christmas shopping. Still haven't bought anything for Lyds. It's just so hard to buy her something that she'll like! Its like, she doesn't even know what she wants. :-O When she goes to the awesomest place to shop ever next year (USA), she probably won't buy anything. When I go, I shall spend billions if I don't have discipline. Well, I'll probably ask my sister to buy this and that for me. ;P

Yesterday, I went to the passport place in HELP and yea. It was so torturous. After 1 hour of waiting, I had already finished my math book. I sat staring aimlessly at nothing and listening to the never ending numbers repeated in Malay for hours.

Christmas. Countdown of 14 days. As it draws nearer, it makes me think - What does Christmas mean to you? Usually Christmas is such a furry of activities. You have caroling sessions to attend, you rush here and there shopping for presents, you go to Christmas parties, you plan for lunch and dinner on that day, you decorate your house, you think about what to wear.. the list continues. Often, people go around getting ready to celebrate it, but half of them know the true meaning. They think Christmas is all about candy canes, snow, Santa Claus, stockings, presents, and Christmas trees. Is that all?

I love the presents, all the decorations and goodies, but that isn't all. It burdens me when people don't realize the true joy of Christmas time. Its the day that Christ was brought into the world. I don't know whether you realize this, but without that present we received 2009 years ago, no one would be living now. That gift brought us joy, love, peace... and redemption. That certainly beats all the gifts I've ever received.

I want this Christmas to be different. I want others to fully understand the real meaning of it. I want everyone to be rejoicing. Just thinking about some little abandoned child half across the world not having fun on Christmas day makes me so sad. Jesus came on Christmas day just because he loved me. He loved me. He still does. So many people in this whole wide world long for someone who would just simple love them. But I don't feel that ever, because I know that someone loves me. So so much.

Oh, I am so happy. December is such a joyous month. And I want to share that joy with everyone. And I want to be more like Him daily. :)

Don't miss that miracle that happened on Christmas day 2009 years ago.

everything to me (:

He's more than a story
More than words on a page of history
He's the air that I breath
The water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
He's everything to me

I'm going to have my own website soon. So, there won't be anymore irritating .blogspot.com thing. How brilliant is that! :D

So so, today I headed off to school again. Went to school yesterday as well, with only the company of Paul Mae, but it was fun. We went high complaining. Like Bee always says, "I want to complain". :D Today, went there. Did my Science 909 test early in the morning. I GOT 100% YAY! :D Josh, Ry, Vicks, and Joel came. Sat and talked while studied. Took my Bible 1102 test. Got 90%, not bad. I expected it to be hard, and actually did better than I thought I would. :)

Then, we were all starved when Ms Cath decides to go to 1U. Jo and I couldn't decide whether we wanted to go so in the end, we decided not to. So instead, Josh, Jo, and I went off for lunch. Made fun of my Americanism, how horrid. :P Ate really slow. Everyone was waiting for me to finish. ;) Heard Josh talk his first SCIENCE talk with Mr Nicholas. Jo and I were like.. *blank faces*.

After that, we went back when Josh deserted us. The only reason why we didn't go to 1U was so that we wouldn't leave Josh all alone in school, and then HE LEAVES. :O So, yea. Jo and I totally went bored. We walked back and forth around the center (cause I was impatiently waiting for my test results) and I practically crapped the whole time. It was like, Jo couldn't get a word in otherwise. Talking is SO entertaining. Then, we headed off to 7-11, bought CANDY, and went to the playground. Sat in the scorching sun for the longest time ever, headed back to the center and yea.

Here comes the part about the toilet! hahah. Last week, the girls' toilet was locked, so we were forced to go into the GUYS' TOILET. So, yesterday, I, thinking the girls' toilet is locked, went into the guys' toilet to check if there was anyone there first. As there was only me and pom, we had no guy to help us check. :P So, I go in, start kicking each stall, when ONE DOESN'T OPEN. And I went screaming out. It was so FREAKY. haha. Its like.. I went into the guys' toilet when some dude was in there. =O Well, so I'm like.. waiting for the dude to come out when another worker walks in. SO DESPAIRING. Then, I discovered that the GIRLS' TOILET WAS ACTUALLY UNLOCKED. ZOMG.

I tell you, I do not like the toilets there. Its like, yesterday I had the bad experience PLUS pom and I realized there's no toiletpaper or paper towels OR any ledge to put something DOWN ON. I'm serious. Its like.. my soap bottle. Pom had to HOLD it. And then, today, the whole place was like.. flooded. D: Terrible.

Anyway. We came back to the center and went to the Science lap to play with some Scientific electrical thingy-ma-jigg. It was really interesting. Like, all the currents, ohm, volts, etc. We learned Morse code and then connected it to this motor. Then we lit up a lighbulb! AND FOR YOUR INFORMATION, JONATHAN ROBERTS.. connecting a lightbulb to a battery is not going to make it light up. Well maybe it might, but you have to connect it with wire.

Yea, so we spent like a good 45 minutes playing with that thing. I can't believe I actually understood like.. half of it. D: My Science is terrible. Science just doesn't run in the Chang family. THAT'S WHY I'M SO HAPPY I GOT 100%! :D

So, yea. That was practically my day and yesterday. :) Hm, I have to go renew my passport tomorrow and my passport picture which I took yesterday looks.. weird. Its like, I look fine in it, except my hair looks horrid. Cause you have to push all your hair to the back behind your ears and that looks retarded.

Gosh, I am so rambling away. Haha. I love talking. Its like, if I am sitting beside two people who aren't talkative next year at school, I shall be so intimidated. It'll be so scary. And I wouldn't be able to do work. But then again, I am so friendly, I shall just talk to anyone I sit beside. :)

Avalon Everything to Me

In a moment, everything can change
Feel the wind on your shoulder
For a minute, all the world can wait
Let go of your yesterday.

• Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass,
  its about learning to dance in the rain. :)
  
• YOU loving everyone is enough of a reason why I should love everyone.
• I feel immense pressure on me and I don't even know how to describe it.
• Ever felt like you don't even belong anywhere?
• I wish my daydreams would come true. :) Alas, reality.
• Talent isn't genius. Sadly.
• I am awaiting next year with high expectations, but I realize that once it starts, I'll be head first into a business you don't want to comprehend.

I'll edit later on. Moods are in too much of a commotion. :\

candy vs. sweets

Joel and I were planning to go HIGH, but instead we got carried off when Jo didn't know what SNOW SPRAY was. Like, omg. So yea. Then we moved on to Swedish fish and thus, starts the argument of candy or sweets. Honestly, which sounds better? Go vote on the poll in the sidebar. Yes, you.

Anyway, this week has been totally awesome. :D I've been keeping myself busy, whether at school, in the mall(s), or at home. Christmas is almost coming, I am so excited. I say this a million times, but I repeat - I just love Christmas.

Tuesday I headed off to new school. Helped put records into the files and all while I waited for the others to arrive. Sarah came next, with lots of hugs from Celine too.We wandered around aimlessly with nothing to do. Haha, then Raquel came and thus, we started on the library. National Geography. :D

Then, we walked out for lunch and practically took a nice long walk. It was good for Joel since he can benefit from it, but I am skinny enough. HEH. Anyway, I just love guava in that asam juice/sauce, whatever its called.

After that, we were totally unproductive, went high, walked to 7-11, bought CANDY. Laughed, talked, till everyone slowly left, and then I left too. That was my Tuesday.

Wednesday, I went to Raquel's. Arrived @ 9.30. Chit chat, left to print a picture for Michelle's pressie, headed off to 1U. Shopping! Omg, we went to this Famous Amos stall and bought gummy bears and Cola gummies too. 100grams for RM4.50. So we managed to do perfectly 100grams. Not 99, not 101. 100. We are brilliant. Then we got a free cookie each. :D

Went to Kitschens, Cotton On.. OH OH OH. Cotton On is just.. amazing. I found a really nice pair of shorts that actually fit. :D And a white shirt that's really nice. And and.. singlets with the cardigan. OMG, so nicee. I feel into rapture. Except, I had no money.

Off we went to Sakae Sushi. On the way, stopped by at InqBox and saw the nail sponge thingy. The thing to put like patterns on your nail, omg. :D And then we stopped by at Sticky, you know, the shop that makes the rock candy. Zomg. There was no body there and Raquel & I were all "oo" and "aa"s that the guy gave us two free rock candies. YAY!

Sakae Sushi was fab. Oh, did I mention that I had my handy dandy calculator with me? I am just brilliant, I know. December sales are all 10%, 20%, 50%, 70% etc. So in came the calculator to calculate how much so and so item cost after discount. How rad. So yea, sushi totaled up to exactly RM9.70. :) It was yummy. I just love sashimi. :D

After that and going back to Cotton On to buy Quel's cardigan, we headed off to Michelle's. Arrived there, ate very little as Quel and I had just eaten. Michelle's sister, Danielle, is extremely tall! But she's a really nice girl, pretty friendly. :D And her brother, Joel, hahaha. Adorably cute and helpful. We had a treasure hunt and I was team captain of the winning team. :) Got this beautiful necklace. Got my face covered with floor. ;)

Wednesday night, my sister suddenly had this mood to set up for Christmas, so we did. Dragged the 'fireplace' out of my room. Hung up the cards and stockings and put out the rugs. :) Set up this little miniature Christmas village on the coffee table made out of Lincoln Logs, pipe cleaners, cotton, paper, ribbon, and well yea, SNOW SPRAY. I just love it. On thursday, we did more touch-ups. Added another house, more snow, a hill, a lake, etc. :)

Then, on Thursday night, went shopping again. This time to the Curve. Got more Christmas decorations. Checked out Elianto nailpolish. I didn't see the RM1 type. Very disappointing! D:

Today, we finished up the deco. Put the Christmas wreath sorta thingy on the top of the fireplace with candles and whatnot. Hung up the lights, did the last touches. Etc. :) All that Christmas prep stuff. Its fun though. And I really really wish I could have a real white Christmas like I did years ago. Christmas just doesn't seem like Christmas without cold weather.

Anyhow, I feel really like.. jelly now. You know, so lifeless and formless and emotionless. Holidays are not benefitual when you waste away and become unproductive. I definitely need to do some spring cleaning of my life. Well, you could say Winter Cleaning. ;) I'm so gonna go swimming tomorrow and work out all the fats I've accumilated. Swimming just makes me feel so refreshed.

Okay, last but definitely not least, birthday wishes. :)

on the 2nd of December..

Happy Birthday Michelle (:

So thanks for being a good friend, for your awesome piano skills
and being a great role model. I respect you in many different ways.
I had fun at your party! God bless ya!

on the 3rd of December..

Happy Birthday Daddy (:

You're the best dad I've ever had, and the only one too. :D
Thanks for going crazy with me and all the crazy things we do.
I love you very bery much. xoxo.

Till then. :) Keep loving, smiling, hoping, wishing.
Christmas is coming. :)

Hilary Duff Come Clean

of popcorn, pickles, and.. CRANBERRY SAUCE.

Ever since that awesome conversation with Joel and CAPLOCKS, I have officially gone high. :D I was like, jumping up and down, screaming my lungs out, dancing around in circles. Joel is BAD influence. ;)

Okay, well not that high. Cause today I did some serious thinking. And in order not to forget all my thoughts, I scribbled it down with the most horrid looking handwritting ever cause my nails were still wet with polish. :) Baby bluee, yea.

Anyhow, my Friday was awesome. It was so.. carefree. :) I popped popcorn in the afternoon and went totally high trying to toss it up and catch it in my mouth. I succeeded and became pro, I am not lying. I love kettle corn, its just.. sooo niceee. :D

Saturday I had to go to the dentist. Which, sucks pretty bad. I waited there for like. hours and the whole checkup thing only took like 5 minutes. My teeth are in such good condition. :)

Sunday was really really busy. Went to church, this singer from the group Boney M was there so they asked her to sing. She sang My Life is in Your Hands and Amazing Grace. Such a powerful voice. :D Then, we went home, at a hasty lunch and then sent my sister off to the Curve. Then sent my mom to Bangsar and then, home again so my dad could NAP. Wooow. Then, off to the Curve where I went shopping. Saw Yunnie in Mackers, she didn't see me. :P Picked up my sis, headed off back to church.

At church, there was this international carol thingy, so different country groups came up and sang. I joined the North America group. :) I discovered that South Africans don't have to be black. Half of their population is white also. They speak Afrikaan, which is basically Dutch. Anyhow, it was really interesting, hearing all the different languages Christmas carols.

After that, headed off to Bangsar again. I love Bangsar. :) So posh.

I have been totally into reading Little Woman for the hundredth time. I just love and admire Amy. She's so artistic and loves light blue, and has such a gentle spirit. And Laurie is just altogether to charming, handsome, and sweet to be realistic. Like, how could such a perfect guy exist?

Today was basically, stares at LifePAC books, procrastinate again. And thought really hard. You wanna know, you wanna know? I know you do.

• Why does the world rank people by how much money they have, their talents, or looks? Why can't the world see that character and values are more important?
• Sometimes, I see how ironic it is to talk about something so pointless, things that don't matter much in life. And I wonder, why don't we talk about something more meaningful?
• I want to be a girl full of spirit and gracefulness. :)
• I look for a guy with charming manners who has courage and honesty. I guess I think that looks aren't that important anymore; good character makes one handsome.
• I think 15 is a turning point. I feel so much older than 14, so much more matured, and you definitely realize more and understand more. No wonder its called bittersweet.

Okay, enough rambling. I think I've taken 3 hours just to write all this. Its really frustrating how long it takes to update one simple post. :P tchao.

So, Jo and I went absolutely high at 11.30 at night. :D hahaha. CAPLOCKS! and yeaa. I'm ordering mcdonalds like, NOW. I love my life. Anyhow, proof of MY awesomeness.

There is nothing like turkey, cranberry sauce, and stuffing.
I definitely miss that. =\

--
 I love vacation. I can stare at the wall and talk to myself. :D "Hi, meet Hazel. Hazel, this is hazel." ;) And I also can laugh to myself which is also very entertaining. Today, I watch Prince Caspian again, after having watched it a billion times already. (Just be glad I'm not obsessed with HSM3 like Bee is!)

I just love Edmunds hilarious bluntness. Its like:
Caspian and Susan are kissing and..
Lucy I think when I'm older I'll understand.
Edmund I am older and I don't understand.

Well, anyhow. Wednesday was fun. Went to the old school and the new place, it is absolutely gorgeous. :) Went exploring with Pom. Moved boxes and boxes. Totally got scared of lift doors, well I've been always extremely scared of them. :P Hahah, it was really funny seeing Pom's and Quel's bumbums getting stuck in the lift door though. And when Quel screamed "boo" to an innocent worker in the lift. AHAHA.  I love Yumi burgers and slurpees. :D

But then, I came back and got the worse headache imagined. And I am not making a scene, Jo. Its true. But panadol does wonders. :) And then, I wanted to go to school today but my parents had such a busy day today, I wouldn't of gotten any transport home, so yea. I stayed at home with my anti-social sister who spent 3 hours solving her Math problem. So geekish, I know.

I practically lazed around the entire day. Did some LA, History, Math.. okay. No math. I actually sat down at my desk for 20 minutes 'so-called' doing Math only to realize after those 20 minutes that I didn't even have my pencil with me.

Well, I have nothing more to say except, white nail polished nails are really awesome looking. Except white nail polish is really hard to paint, so I only painted one nail. Hoho, I am so pathetic. :D

Jojo Let It Rain

Today, I wore Axe body spray. I wasn't tackled by any women. MLIA.

I couldn't help pasting the above, it was just soo funny. However, I totally predict that half my readers do not get the significance of this, so thus, Kat and I shall laugh over it ourselves. :P

So, during a period of 2 days, I've discoved some very interesting things. One of them I discovered only cause I read a whole section of LA outloud to myself. It actually helped me understand it clearly. However, in the midst of my beautiful reading, my sister ran into my room and exclaimed, "ARE YOU TALKING TO YOURSELF?!" I honestly don't know what's wrong with tty-ing. :P

Today, since everyone else was in work, I was able to talk to myself the entire day without disturbance or weird looks. Talking to yourself is surprisingly really fun because you aren't sure which person is talking. Cause you always talk in the first person, not second person. As Joel puts it:

ǝzɐɥɔǝzɐɥ says what do you talk to yourself about?
j(o.o)el says i ask myself how i was
j(o.o)el says and then i told myself i was fine.
j(o.o)el says and then we had common interest
j(o.o)el says so we talked about it.
ǝzɐɥɔǝzɐɥ says OMG, SO CUTE
j(o.o)el says AND WE BOTH AGREE THAT WE ARE NOT CUTE!

Anyhow, back to what I discovered. Although I totally adore the eyes on one's face, and definitely think it is the best feature, I have to admit that the voice is most important. I mean, common. Some guy may have the most melting blue eyes but the scariest voice too, and that totally ruins the outcome.

 I also notice that the more you stare at a picture of yourself, the more you dislike it. I came to this conclusion because for an art activity, I have to sketch myself. The picture I chose of myself is becoming very ugly.

Tomorrow I'm off to school, but sadly I can't take two test that I desperately need to take. So, instead I shall be a good sport and go and help UNpack. :D Help aka talk. If I actually survive cause Joel plans to mock the life out of me. :P And be a third wheel with Josh, wait that makes it a third and forth wheel.
My head is freaking pounding. I shall tchao now. :)

all bout this week.

The thing about love
Is I never saw it coming
It kinda crept up and took me by surprise
And now there's a voice inside my heart
That's got me wondering
Is this true, I want to hear it one more time

This week has been on hectic week full of stress, happiness, joy, sorrow, and loveeee.  HAHAHA, Weeyen's speech. :P

Well, I shall just summarize my whole week in a few pharagraphs. :)

This is definitely worth sharing, it was so fun. Went for 'tchoukball' on Tuesday. We played like.. half a game and Quel & I were the only girls. So, we were centers cause we didn't want to wear evil knee pads and then get an uneven tan for Awards Night. Terrible centers, mind you. :P

So, we were playing happily. Okay, not happily cause I was so frustrated with myself when I couldn't CATCH the ball. I was like jumping up and down screaming "EEE!" (inside joke!). And then, it started pouring cats and dogs and I ran under shelter. Well, then it almost flooded.

Then, THEN! Neilson and Joel ran off to the playground and Quel and I decided to follow but stay in the comfort of the slide. So, we ran all the way and ducked into the slide. It was super fun sitting in the slide listening to the rain and spazzing with Quel cause.. well, Calvin kept on climbing up the slide and then slipping down the very second after he placed himself comfortably. :P

Went swinging in the rain! :D The bestest ever. I have lots of memories swinging in the rain, don't we Jon? :) We had a competition aka. a LA composition, or a conversation. I WON. In your face, Jo. And then, Raquel started spinning on the swing and she almost whacked her head on the pole, Joel and I were all like :O ohemgeee. Then she fell. Expected.

On Wednesday, I finally finished the backdrop, yeaa babeyy. :) Its awesome, awesomeee, AMAZINGLY stunning, I just adore it. :D Thanks for all my backdrop crew, especially Melinda. And you have no idea how scary it is to stand on two chairs that are stacked up. ;P

So basically, my Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday were definitely stressful days and just zapped the energy out of me. But as Justine said in that sweet touching note of hers, I shouldn't let stress overwhelm me. And I love my Jojo, he's always there making me promise I won't stress and de-stressing me. Even though, I do not keep my promises.

Awards Night was the bomb. I think everyone was very cooperative, it went smoothly and on schedule, and the presentations were great! It was really touching during the graduation, they all looked so.. like GRADUATES in those gowns. :P And, well. Only disappointment was that everyone was taking pictures with the old students and I didn't take hardly any pictures, I was all busy and stuff. D:

After Awards Night, went off with Bee and family to eat. We sat there, and I tell you, her brother is pretty funny, you know.. in the BEE BEE SORTA WAY. Must run in the family, eh? He was like, "You guys must of spent a lot of time together ah? All the same color. Always in sun together." AHAHAH. Then, later on he thought Lyd and Bee looked alike. What? He was like, "Before today, I only had one sister, now I have 2 more." LAWL.

When we arrived home, the weirdos didn't even want to shower. I was all like, "But I needa shower!" In the end, they were all whining about me hurrying up and getting into the shower, I didn't shower. Anyhow, I was licked all over by Roanne. She is so adorable.

So, we dragged down blankets after blankets and a billion pillows and set ourselves up nice and cosy in the TV room. Watched a movie, and then Lyd's went to sleep while Bee and I stayed up and played the Wii. I was soo high, and Bee started laughing for NO reason. AND AND, I BEAT BEE IN BOWLING. By one point. But still, I managed to beat her finally! And then, there was this lame game that was so funny. By the time we went to bed, it was 3. :)

Well, then. My smart genius of a sister woke up at 7 and started talking to Bee cause Bee was apparently awake. And I, who was so soundly sleeping, always gets waken up when someone nearby talks! Like, omg! So early. Lyds went to shower, while Bee & I, fell back to sleep. Well, tried to, that is. I was more like, just lazing around cuddling Roanne darling.

Party day was fun. Arrived there at around 9.45 and hardly anyone was there! O_o Sat in this little circle, slapped Jon a lot, laughed, talked.. ate. The noise was uncontrollably pounding so I slipped into the centre for awhile, only to be shoo-ed out. Then, there was this whole long hour of supervisor's speeches and graduate speeches and we had to sit on that freaking STICKY floor. So, I was mainly squatting, standing - any position that does no involve touching the floor

At the end, I was overcame by such sad emotions, I went around hugging people. :P And then, the photo taking spree. Peoples, send me the photos yea. And then, I left and then, yea. I napped. Cause I was just so tired, and you know, eyebags are not the trend. :P

Well, lastly but definitely the best, here goes to all the appreciations for all those whom I've grown closer to this entire school year and good old friends too. :)

say it again to me.

Why not take crazy chance 

Why not do a crazy dance

If you lose the moment 

You might lose a lot

So why not?

Thursday and Friday (and today of course) has been a blast! Are you ready for a "this happened, then that happened" sorta diary update. I dislike writing these, and I bet sometimes they're freaking boring, but I shall make it interesting since it was 2 very awesome days.

Basically, its been Awards Night backdrop all the way. I hardly even open a LifePac book, yes imagine the pressuree. D: I am so behind in my work! Anyhow, the backdrops getting along well, its gonna be the awesomest backdrop for Awards Night ever made (so far). :D Cause well, next year, you never know, we might make an even better one.

So, all the sewing was done on Thursday and I was out of things to for the helpers to do. Had a long chat with Josh about stitches and which stitch we should use and etc. My awesome brothers from another mother were totally being unproductive and Jon started patting Joel on the back singing this super weird and cute song, HAHA. It goes like this:

Soft kitty, warm kitty,
Little ball of fur.
Happy kitty, sleepy kitty,
Purr, purr, purr.

Jon is so hilarious. Then at lunch, was walking up with my two brothers and they started singing it together. I was like, soo omg. It was so funny. We sat down and they started singing it to Chanelle but in the end it was just Jon singing cause Joel and I were.. having a laughing attack.

Friday was basically the same. No more.. sewing, because some genius forgot her sewing kit, I wonder who that genius was. ;) I had to do some measurements of cloth and that involves math and Joel & even Timothy were all like, "Why are you doing Math?!" Hello, its measurements. ;P Anyhow, Jo was sleepy and he started singing that song to Michael. Like, wth.

We worked hard, 'cutted' out terribly un-proportional stars and painted them. Went high with Esther, got mocked by Joel (He just loves to mock me), screamed "Eeeeee". :P Finished a whole lot! So happy. Figures were made secure and stand-able, graphics finished, only leaving letters to do.

Chapel came, I missed the video, but worship and the preaching was good. Went down, lounged on the VIP couch watching the guys labor putting up stars in the 'sky'. Then, there was all the setups and crepe paper on the lights which Nathaniel, Michael, and I did very unsuccessfully. They were so scared of the ladder, I decided to go up myself, but I wasn't tall enough. ;P

Sarah, Kat and Bee finally arrived so Bee took Justine and I back to her house to freshen up. We totally petted Roanne (spelled as Roan) and put her in this little bee suit. Adorable. There were these wings and this hood with the antennas but her head was too big so we couldn't put the hood on. Bee so spoils her dog, but I don't blame her. There's one whole shelf in her wardrobe for Roanne's clothes and she even has SHOES (which she doesn't wear). That dog is like another child. :P

Arrived at Movie Night, Bee wouldn't come in! Haha, got put in charge of free drinks and sandwiches, ate too much sugar (probably the cause of going high later on), and drank a zillion cups of drinks. Movie started late and ended late but it was fun. :) Sat with Jojo who was slightly irritated about how noisy it was and how he couldn't concentrate. The movie was paused kinda halfway and thats when...

I was called up and yea, they sang happy birthday to me for the... second time. :P And I had a cake and an imaginary candle. :P And Weeyen went all lame. ;) Thank you Sarah, Kat, and Bee for the cake! I highly doubt that Bee did any of the baking.

This is when the excitement begins. It was actually the intense part of the movie, like the final game against the Soviets and like.. Pom came and we totally spazzed. Started spotting out the "hot" guys. :P It'll be like, the bald man comes onto the screen and we're all "THERE, THERE, THERE!!" *points* and then Pom's high pitch HAHAH. :P Jojo was actually rating guys with us. :D He was like, "Imagine if all girls had taste like this." OMG, it was so funky.

And Marcus came! :) He was like, all shocked that everyone was like, "OH, are you Marcus?" Oops, so my bad. :P Jojo and I were all talking about couples throughout the movie.

Movie Night sadly ended, we cleaned up, etc. and finally I went home at around 11 with Jennifer. :) I was like, "Okay, bye weeyen. Bye Justine." When Keiffer was like, "OH, is it 12 yet? Let's sing.. Happy birthday to youuu." And I'm like stuck standing there while they all sang, yet again. In the end, I was like, "Let's just GO, Jennifer." and we ran out on them singing. :P

That was all in a day, and I totally crashed my bed when I arrived home.

November 14, 2009 officially marks the day I turn 15. Sadly, yesterday was the last day of the glorious age 14. I woke feeling so dizzy and extremely burdened. Terrible start of a day, but anyway. It is not nice turning 15. It just seems, really really old. I love being 14. :)

Of all days, I cleaned my room and watched the bathroom. I know, I am such a good girl. :P Then, I went online, checked my oh-so-many facebook wishes, thankyou guys! :D Then, I went swimming and did 7 nice long laps. :) I love the water. I feel so at home in it. However, the chlorine was extremely strong, so my eyes smart like anything now.

Anyhow, its been a great day, and I wanna thank you all for the wishes, cake, everything. You guys are awesome, but y'all know, I am awesomest eh? :)

P/s. Happy birthday to the girl who shares this day with me. Megan!

Marie Digby Say It Again

two is better than one.

First of all, I wanna thank you for all my very devoted helpers with the backdrop. :D
♥ A big thankyou to Melinda my co-worker in crime. ;) Without you, my stress level would of been to extreme limits, it would be indescribable.
♥ I love my Jojo. He's so awesomely helpful and always makes sure I'm okay and no longer frustrated. And cute. I mean seriously, he is CUTE.
♥ Thanks to all my other helpers: Timothy, Raquel, Nicholas, Michael, Esther, Melissa, James, Ian, Nathaniel, Josh. I think I mentioned all. You guys are great.
♥ Thank you, Ms Cath and Ms Colleen, for buying supplies, supervising us, etc.
♥ Thank you, Jon, for being there to destress me and act stupid (WITHOUT A BRAIN) and using my paper to write that sign. ;)

Secondly, I've generated some thoughts.
☺I've realized that the stronger one's relationship with another becomes, you began to discover the bad sides of one and sometimes, you forget the good.
☺Somehow it seems that once you see the bad parts of a person, you suddenly lose all respect and love for that person and start treating him/her differently.
☺I didn't know that life would be so difficult at this age. Looking in the future leaves me feeling so insecure about bigger problems I'll face out there.
☺I really wish I could have a drastic change in my life. Like, migrate to another country, start life again. I know that if that does happen, I'll cry my eyes out, but only be reminded that I wanted it.
☺I've come to realize that some conversations and some things we often talk about is just pointless. Like, it doesn't even matter anything anymore. It must be puberty. You know, the whole process that I'm maturing and things people (who are younger than me) talk about don't interest me anymore.

And..
•I failed my very first Math test in my entire lifetime. D: 1010. So bummed, I know. I'm waiting for my sister to come home from work to get me more points.
•Been doing a ton of preparation for Award's Night and I'm not really excited about it. Backdrop, choir, and worship team.
•Movie Under the Stars is this Friday. :D You should definitely come, yes YOU. Buy tickets from Quel or Kat. Its gonna be fun.
•Zoe's birthday is tomorrow, so I shall do my awesome post for her... right below. :D
•MY BIRTHDAY! :)
--
SO, for my absolutely rad, awesome, terrific, pretty, HOT, girlfriend of mine.. this is dedicated to YOU.

A Jovial 13th Birthday to You
Welcome to teenager life. It isn't exactly smooth sailing. ;)

Thank you for being an awesome friend, little meime, partner in sharing secrets with, and everything else. I really really miss you, and I can't believe it's almost a year since you moved to Australia. School without you is dreadfully different from last time, but I survived, and I know you did too. :D I love you like I love a billion Sweedish fish and gummy bears. You are the very best.

Lots of hugs and pokes from your very loving,
Haz. :D

7 reasons.

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.
The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.
The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.
The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah."
The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?"
The little girl replied, "Then you ask him."

A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work.
As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was.
The girl replied, "I'm drawing God."
The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like."
Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, "They will in a minute."

A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year old's.
After explaining the commandment to "honor" thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?"
Without missing a beat one little boy (the oldest of a family) answered, "Thou shall not kill."

One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head.
She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, "Why are some of your hairs white, Mum?"
Her mother replied, "Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white."
The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, "Mummy, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?"

The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture.
"Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, "There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer," or "That's Michael, He's a doctor."
A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's the teacher, she's dead."

A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, "Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face."
"Yes," the class said.
"Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?"
A little fellow shouted, "Cause your feet ain't empty."

The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray:
"Take only ONE. God is watching."
Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.
A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples."

so yesterday.

• I love my  French nails . Its so pwettty. :D
• Its been not a nice week. Hardly did ANY work. I like to be honest and frank, and when I mean none.. yeaa. Hardly none.
• Went to 1U with the "youngsters" to watch a movie and help the helpless boys get shirts and slacks. Youngsters because I'll be the oldest again. ;) And I know, I am such a good big sister.
• So, there was 6 of us and 5 of us were around 5 feet 2 inches in height and suddenly 1 is like taller than all of us by like 8 inches. :O 
• Joel's shirt is so nicee. :D I am so proud of myself for finding him such a handsome/HOT outfit. :)
• Ties are cool. I'm obsessed with learning how to tie one now. However, I have no tie to try on. If I ask my daddy for a tie, he'll go like, "FOR WHAT?" O.o
  
• Started on the Award's Night backdrop yesterday. Its going good. Next Monday I'll be doing some serious BLACK painting.
• I hope poor Sarah gets better.
• Today I was like all coughing and spluttering, my throat hurts so bad. D: I totally strained it on Thursday, singing for 3 hours straight. And then yesterday. D:
• I have a headache now. D: 
• I can't go out any more for the whole month of November and possibly December. D: I gave up my birthday treat for today, but it was fun so I don't regret it. :)
• I need to start arranging Jon's Christmas party so he'll stop rubbing it into my face that I didn't invite him to come with us today.
  

And I finally experienced this myself, and am pleased to announce that... BOYS ARE SO HELPLESS WHEN THEY SHOP. If it hadn't been for me, they would just be.. walking around aimlessly, not sure what to do or what to buy.

Anyway, here's the account of what happen. I arrived late. :) I promised myself I'll do a ST before I go, so that delayed me alot. Got there, walked around aimlessly till we ended up going to Waffle World. When we walk around, Joel is sure to say, "Where are we going?" every five minutes. At Waffle World, we all took a long time to order, and the longest time to do all the math for the bill. ;) Oh, and Joel btw, got pretty high because he DRANK the leftover maple syrup and ate kitkats and sugar. Like immediately after drinking maple syrup he went high... highfiving with Andrew about.. Malaysian food.

Oh, and we visited Topman and forced Joel to wear this pink tee. So he takes this pink tee, and starts walking to the changing room when the guy who works there comes up to him and says...
GUY oh no. I think you need a LARGE.
JOEL Are you trying to insult me?
GUY Yeaa.. I think LARGE would do good on you.
HAHAHAHA. We were all like, laughing. Then, we shoved him into the changing room, but he kept coming out unchanged. Ish. But the pink tee did look good on him. :) And Joel's not LARGE, he's just so nice, big, poke-able, and polite.

Then we were on the way to the cinema when Quel and Vickie wanted to go ride those animal cart thing that goes around the whole floor. OMG right? I have pictures.. which will come. In another post. But they never got to finish their ride becausee we were late for the movie.

Ry, Vickie, Quel, and I went into the movie first while Andrew and Joel bought popcorn and drinks. They got a free bag, which btw, Joel carried his stuff in like a sissy. :D Hahah, so we were sitting there when we heard Joel's voice. He was like, A, B, C, D, E, F.......... and walked straight pass our row. ;)

Movie was alright. Very funny. After movie, we separated to go shopping. I went with the guys causee.. they are helpless. :P Went to Parkson, G2000, Kitschen, etc. Met up with the girls, went to Cold Storage. Got separated from Ry and Vickie. Oh, Vickie did some amazing shopping in like 40 minutes. After Cold Storage, we were on our way to Jusco but well, when you shop with girls, you get delayed. Went to Aunt Annie's, bumped into Tommy and Gilbert. Went to Inqbox. Went to Padini Authentics. Finally arrived in Jusco. ;P

Found a nice shirt for Joel. :) Hm, slacks was a different story. I gave him a 30 - too small. 31 - also too small. 32 - STILL too small. wth?! Got him a 34 - too big. OMG. Hahah, finally found a nice 33 size slacks that were pretty cheap. I am such an awesome bigger sister, I know.

After that, Ry and I seriously needed to go to the toilet. :P Sent Quel home, visited Mr. Toilet Bowl, went into Toys R Us, checked out the Rubik's Cube. 360! :D Hm, then we went down to the Tie Shop were we found the perfect tie for Ryan. Hahaha. We screwed up like a billion times trying to tie it. :P Thus started my serious obsession of I SO WANNA KNOW HOW TO TIE A TIE. ;) It shall be in my wishlist.

Well, I can't wait for Award's Night. :) Although it will be rather sad seeing them all graduate and after a while of vacation, I will want school.. I still can't wait. ;)

P/s. Happy burpday, Jia Yu and Mr. Nicholas.

Roberts: When you have the Holy Spirit, you'll become so passionate. You'll be out on the street and meet this guy and go, "Oh you're waiting for the bus too? Coool. You wanna something about the bus? God created the man who created the bus!"

Jon is a born speaker. He just hasn't realized it yet. Basically, he's denying the fact that he's so good at public speaking just so he won't follow the footprints of his father, his mother, and his brother.

This is pretty cool. Check it out and find out who truly is your role model.

DON'T SCROLL DOWN YET!!

FIRST, do the simple math below,
THEN, scroll down to find your hero.

It's CRAZY how accurate this is!

1) Pick your favorite number between 1-8

2) Multiply by 3 then

3) Add 3

I know I'm absolutely rad. I just have this effect on people. :P Admit it now, Joel and Raquel, I am much more awesomer than you guys.

P.S. Stop picking different numbers!! I AM YOUR IDOL, JUST DEAL WITH IT!!!!!!

Life's a game, but it's not fair.

I'm sorry for the lack of updates, but taa! I'm updating. ;P Everyone's like.. "HAZ! Are you gonna update you're blog?" I'm sorry, but I take a considerably long time to write everything nicely.

So, lyd's got an extremely high SATs score and GPA. She got 2350/2400 and 3.9/4 respectively. If you don't see the significance of that, I really don't know what to do. :P I've explained it a billion times to a billion people and they never seem to get it. Scholarships are the goal, babyy. :D

It just hit me that I'm still 14. (: I feel so young and I'm glad. Sarah was telling me that next year there'll be no more older ones in school and that we'll be 16. And I was like, 'Sarah darl, I'm not even 15 yet. I'm still 14.' I love being young. And 14 is the best age you could ever wish for. :) And I still have 2 more weeks to enjoy the pleasures of being 14. *hints!*

I've been busy busy, tons of activities, hardly ANY work done. I didn't do a single page of work during the weekend. D: Neither did I manage to do work at home for both Monday and today. ;) I've always come home really late, not my fault.

Sunday; Joycie's parteyy. Met up with the oldies, I haven't seen some in decades. Fai! :) And I met Matthew's sister. Plus all the others. Hung out mainly with Paullyn, Quel, Pom, Josh, and Kelvin. It was pretty fun, despite the fact that I was... denying it. ;)

Monday; Shopping till we drop with Quel and Lyd. Left school at 3.30 and shopped till like.. 8.30. It was awesome though. Bought a dress for Chech. Tried convincing Quel to buy this really nice dress, but she's so.. undecided. :P I heart Face Shop.

Tuesday; Tchoukball till 5.30ish and then off to Bee's. Played the Wii instead of doing what she wanted me to do, which was teaching her to knit. Argh. I hate knitting. Haha. So instead I played Baseball, Bowling, Tennis, and Golf with Bee on the Wii. Totally got thrashed, except Bowling was quite close. whee. :)

Wednesday and onwards; Tomorrow is PE. I love PE. :D Then, after school I have to.. make a trip to the doctor to check up on my stomach that's always.. giving me problems. ISCF this week is gonna be rad. Movie trailer baby. :D Movie Night next week. Birthday too. :D

Hah. Are you happy, Ry, Jojo, and Tommy? :)

Lyd gets her SATs results tonight at 8pm. :D I totally forgot about it till Isaac was like, "How'd your sister do?" and I was like, blur for a while till it popped into my head.

I shall post her results soon. :) Hopefully she'll get 2000 and above, I know she will though. I mean, right, my sister is a genius. She's make me feel stupid. :P

Speaking of test, I thought I only got 66% on my French test, but you have no idea how hard it is to hear your teacher say numbers in French. I heard 66% but she actually said 77%. Awesomee right? I feel a whole lot better now, my mom was like, "oohh, go take the DELF test in November then!" I was totally against that cause my French has flown from my head and the books are with Naomi. So, no way.

Alrighto, I better go do the evil book report which I have been procastinating. But it'll be good for me and improve thee writing skills. :D I really really wish I was at tchoukball right now. Tchoukball just relieves me of the very odd feeling of... I have no idea what, that I've been feeling the entire week.

P/s. I think 12 and 13 year old boys are the cutest things. Its just their mantality. The way they phrase things. Its so adorable. Timothy and his smart phrases. :) Jaedon, Joel, Marcus. :D And Paul Mae is pretty. wakaka.

a word's just a word, till you mean what you say.

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon

Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?

Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains?

Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

I did some quiz about myself, link here. Below are the results for my true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

Totally agree with the mood changing thing. I am always having a different mood every 10 minutes. I hate my girl hormones. They act up even when I'm not having PMS.

School and life has been really busy, I really just don't want to talk about it. So, just don't ask. And don't ask, "Are you okay?" because I really think that if someone wasn't okay and wanted to tell you about it, s/he would. No one's really gonna tell you "No I'm not okay" in answer to that question.

Jaedon is so adorable. Seriously. Haha. Today after school started the so-very-interesting topic about another CS with Pom and Jaedon. ;) I so can't wait for Saturday. Justine, just tell your brother to read this, and he'll totally understand and explain to you. :P Oh, and the high-five swirling thingy is soo cute. :)

I am currently having a YES-YOU-ARE-CUTE-JOJO conversation. I mean, honestly people out there in the world. Joel is cute right? So now, I have him as my little CUTE brother. :) And that adjective shall never be removed. ;D I just love my pet siblings. Jon chorch, Lyd chech (not pet sib), Matthew didi, Jojo, and Zoe Meime. :)

Okay, I'm fleeing. I, sadly, don't have all the time in the world.

Cascada Every Time We Touch

And I remember how You found me

In the very same place

All my failings surely would have drowned me

Still You made a way

Hi y'all. :) I am updating this blog for the sake of updating it, not necessarily do I want to, but because I haven't updated it since Tuesday and Joel's been begging.

Anyway, speaking of Joel. I was talking to him on MSN and thus, we started the debate of which is better, being a girl or a guy. I supported that being a guy is better and Joel supported that being a girl is better. Note how ironic it is. Its basically cause, I'm having the stomach cramps and really wishing I was a guy.

The Advantages of being a Guy (by Hazel)
#o1. You don't have to have your monthly best friend like we girls have to. Therefore, no PMS and stomach cramps.
#o2. You won't be looked down on by the opposite gender. We girls always get looked down on because guys think we're weak, over sensitive, etc.
#o3. You are better in sports.
#o4. Girls look up to you.
#o5. You don't have to wear 4 layers all the time. And when having your best friend, 5 layers. You can take of your shirt and act macho!
#o6. Guys can take stress better. And plus, they don't get as many responsibilities as girls do, partly because they aren't that responsible.
#o7. Guys are street smart.
#o8. They generally know more about cars and thus can take care of their automobile well. Also, they have a way better sense of direction (excluding Ry!)
#o9. Joel says boys are simple minded. That is a good thing! Girls minds are too complex. Guys don't have mental breakdowns like girls. Once one issue affects a girl, she blows up and gets all emotional cause it affects all the other issues of her life. Guys, however, do not have to face that. School is school. If a problem happens in school, it does not involve his family life.
#o10. Girls have to rely on guys for some particular things.
#o11. Doing the business part of the family is cool.

The Advantages of being a Girl (by Joel)
#o1. You can cry your eyeballs out without a guy saying, "Stop crying like a girl." because.. you are a girl.
#o2. Guys always seem to get into trouble but girls can slip away from it. (You see, when a boy is talking to his friends in class he'll get scolded for no apparent reason while girls can chat their heads of and get the least scolding ever.)
#o3. You don't have idiotic guy friends who purposely hit you in the wrong part and are a little bit too affectionate.. you know what I mean. (okay fine Joel, I agree with this. Guys are kinda stupid.)
#o4. Girls never need to worry about being mocked if you're a guy with no muscles and fats and you take off your shirt. Basically, because girls are not guys.
#o5. Girls are smarter academically. (I agree!)
#o6. Boys are simple minded. So when asked to write like a 3 page essay bout something, while girls can go on and on boys can only go half a page to 1 and a half pages.
#o7. Guys get proud because girls have to rely on them for some things. (So, its best that as girls, we don't have to deal with ego like guys do.)
#o8. When guys grow up, and get like families and all they have to think about finance, business for the family, whether his business will be sucessful, education for his kids. All the girls have to do is take care of the kids till they grow up... and house chores.
#o9. When a boys voice starts to crack it sounds totally retarded where as when a girls voice cracks, not everyone notices.
#o10. Girls always win. Like, I just did. (by Hazel)

 Yes, girls always win. And in the end, I am glad I'm a girl. Even if we do have less advantages. And if I did start a fight that girls actually are better, I would of won. Because, girls always win. :D

I updated, Joel. Be happy. :)

And we can build this dream together

Standing strong forever
Nothing's gonna stop us now

EDIT; So, today (aka, Monday) was classically fun. :D Kat and I, well, we seemed to have eaten something at lunch that made us go terribly high and we were just rambling on about reading assignments, average grades, and essays to Mr. Nicholas. He was like, "okay." hahah.

Basically, I was given this missionary book about the biography of Nate Saint. And you know, the questionnaire, book report paper thingy - and its like, SO BASIC. So Kat and I started asking Mr Nick why this, why that, etc. Then, my sister comes up with this brilliant idea that instead of reading the boring biography about Nate Saint, I should read Through Gates of Splendor.

So, I go up to Mr Nick and explain that I don't want to do a book report on that biography (even if I already finished reading the book!) and whether I could do it on the Gates of Splendor book. Through Gates of Splendor is about the same incident as Nate Saint, etc. And its written by Elizabeth Elliot, Jim Elliot's wife. I've met her before. I am not lying. Awesome right? In Massachusetts, I met her. :) And you know, she's one of those famous people that are humble and don't take any of the glory. Such a role model.

I really have no idea what I'm getting at, but I think being an MK is just so cool. Actually, I don't see why its called MK cause I mean right, why do they say we're just Missionary's KID. Not exactly a missionary, its like, only our parents were, but that's so.. off. I mean, we MKs are missionaries too because we were in the field too. That's why the newest name for it (okay, its pretty old now, but hardly anyone knows this stuff) is TCK.. And being a TCK is pretty awesome.

As Bee puts it, she has to deal with an "African" and an "American" every single day. I think that's so rad.

Bee really loves to bond with me. I told her, "Let's sit with Sarah, Paullyn, and Josh," at lunch, and she was like, "No. We can sit at the table behind that. We can bond!" =_= .... "Er, bee. We bond every single day since I happen to sit beside youu!"

And she says I can read her brain, and she can totally read mine too. :P We were discussing about who could give Bee transport home and this is how it goes..
Kat can't your dad send you home?
*Bee nudges me*
Haz er, he's overseas.
Kat your mom?
*Bee nudges me*
Haz oh uh, she's overseas too.
Kat your brothers?
*Bee nudges me*
Haz umm, they work late.
Kat your cousin?
*Bee nudges me*
Haz um, err. what? uhh. He's not going for badminton. 

I have no idea why she didn't come to school today, but it was sad. I probably shouldn't say this cause she'll be all gloating tomorrow that I missed her. haha. Hopefully, she was a good girl and did her work! Else, I'll totally scold her.

Award's Night is like exactly 1 month away. That's freaky, cause I just can't seem to get into my head that its one month away, and one month flies by like anything. Not that I'm worried. I am in such a carefree mood today. :P Seriously did not feel like singing today. :) But, I think Award's Night will be chill. It'll be a very sweet moment watching them graduate. Ya'know, bittersweet.

Justine was hyperwenting about CS today like she was absolutely obsessed with it. Haha. I really can't seem to understand her huge obsession, I would totally have a huge obsession on something else.

I currently can't wait for my birthday. wheeee. And the fun I'm gonna have this end of the year and the beginning of next year. So, we have 30 hour famine coming up, and maybe a sleepover at my house too. Then, we have my birthday. :D Award's Night shopping with Quel darl. :) Award's Night and sleepover again. :D Jon's Christmas party at my house. ;) Another slumber. Vietnam! Sarah's slumber. ♥

I feel.. awesome incredible! :)
(basically, I think the word 'awesome' is getting way overrated and overused by the '96 babies of our school.)

the BE attitudes.

Hard pressed but not crushed,

Perplexed but not in despair,

Persecuted but not abandoned,

Struck down but not destroyed.

2 Corinthians 4:8-9 ♥

So, I woke up and like a good little disciplined girl, I sat myself down at my desk and took out my blueprints. Today, it was about Matthew 5:3-12 - the beatitudes. Have you ever wondered why they are called that? Well, as I was reading the text, I remembered the recent Bible study I just finished, Living Your Life as Beautiful Offering, which focuses on the Sermon of the Mount. I pulled out that Bible study and decided to skim read and review the beatitudes.

That's when I found the verse above. I love the Bible! Its so full of verses that half the time we forget about. Usually, we remember the usual. You know, like John 3:16. John 3:16 is an amazing verse too, but the Bible's so full of secrets and other verses.

Often, the beatitudes feel like the 'Gotta Be's' to me. However, isn't it so much better to look at it as the 'When You Are's'.
_____________, when you are ____________________,
   (your name)                                          (the condition)
Jesus comes with ______________________.
                                            (the blessing)

If you fill in the blanks, it looks like this:
Hazel, when you are poor in spirit,
Jesus comes with the kingdom of heaven.

Isn't it so better that way? And you know that when you give your heart to Jesus, that broken spirit of yours, you become someone who, in the midst of persecution, trials, hard times, stands firm. (2 Corinthians 4:8-9)

Being humble is a hard thing to achieve. However, it makes it so much easier to achieve when you know that simple things like being poor in spirit (the conditions of the beatitudes) is being humble. It is easy to feel exhausted in your spirit, it's easy to mourn, its easy to be meek. Its not a condition though.

Using words to explain this isn't easy, but all I know is that God totally opened my eyes up to another perspective of the Scriptures. And the word humility has whole different meaning to it.

Humility isn't about having low self-esteem. You have to have a positive outlook about life to be humble. A humble person is not concerned with what others think. A humble person recognizes how God created him/her and sees that same uniqueness in others. A humble person can serve, even without recognition or shows of gratitude. A humble person puts herself below others.

To end off, I think Matthew 5:3-12 is one of those passages that everyone talks about. But come to think of it, it has so many different aspects of it. You can learn so much from it. :) I love The Message translation. It puts it in the 'When You Are' context.

3You're blessed when you're at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his rule. (poor in spirit)
4You're blessed when you feel you've lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you. (those who mourn)
5You're blessed when you're content with just who you are—no more, no less. That's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can't be bought. (the meek)
6You're blessed when you've worked up a good appetite for God. He's food and drink in the best meal you'll ever eat. (those who hunger and thirst for righteousness)
7You're blessed when you care. At the moment of being 'care-full,' you find yourselves cared for. (the merciful)
8You're blessed when you get your inside world—your mind and heart—put right. Then you can see God in the outside world. (those who are poor in heart)
9You're blessed when you can show people how to cooperate instead of compete or fight. That's when you discover who you really are, and your place in God's family. (the peacemakers)
10You're blessed when your commitment to God provokes persecution. The persecution drives you even deeper into God's kingdom. (persecuted for righteousness)
11Not only that—count yourselves blessed every time people put you down or throw you out or speak lies about you to discredit me. What it means is that the truth is too close for comfort and they are uncomfortable.
12You can be glad when that happens—give a cheer, even!—for though they don't like it, I do! And all heaven applauds. And know that you are in good company. My prophets and witnesses have always gotten into this kind of trouble.

He Reigns

From Heaven to Earth

My God is an Awesome God
