Tick. Tock.

Nobody's reading this at the moment. And I don't know why I'm still blogging. Or why I'm still spending hours on the comp with SPM on the horizons and firmly in view.






Heck, I can count it with both my hands now.







10 days to SPM. Brilliant. I hope the miracle salve is full. Need every.single.drop of it



Byebye. For real now. You won't me see me here till' SPM is done and dusted.
I may still reply chatbox messages, if there are any.
And you may still catch me online. hehe.



Signing off.

End of an era

After *I-dunno-how-many-years-actually* years of making History less painful to us all, Mr Marijan departs from SSI to assume a new role as...some Penolong Kanan role-whatever in SMK St Joseph. Not really well informed on that. But such is the really really low profile of his leave that it couldn't end any quieter. Just a final check out, and thats it. No grand farewell nor any formal acknowledgment or whatever. And it seems that defines the person he is. Despite getting all shrilly and ballistic at times (being the discipline master of the school, heh), but really, its a good history teacher that the school has lost.




And the pic above? That was, to say, an "opportunist's strike" as it was most convenient before he became somewhat unreachable. Ah well.








I just hope I get an A1 in History. harhar.

Disclaimer: The pics blur as its my friend's phone. Not mine. It doesn't give blur pics. hehe.

20 days to SPM. Tick tock. Tick tock.

Oxymoron-ic.

Malaysian politicians. You just have to love (some of) them.










‘Love and Caring Act'
to rename the ISA





As coined by independent MP Ibrahim Ali in his suggestion to rename the ISA so as to "make everyone happy". Locking people up at will without trial and opportunity to defend one's self is considered a "loving" and "caring" act?









Brilliant. Absolutely bloody brilliant. Now we know why Malaysia is where it is at right now. At least politically.
But in reality, in many many other aspects, too.







25 days to SPM. Hmm......

Wrapping it up.

40 $#@!-ing days to SPM.
-.- yeah yeah whatever.



At any rate, after today, I won't be blogging much (if at all). And these are just a few things to mutter about before the slight hiatus.

1) Jaslyn Gan's sexy 16th



Jaslyn Gan, one who can verbally out-talk most (thanks to debate experience) yet, outside the arena, appears to be the (konon-nya) super-sweet girly girl who talk what most girls talk about. You know what they are. At any rate, you did have a great 16th, with a surprise you never saw coming. Though I was invited to join the gang, I'm unfashionably grounded till SPM ends. Slight disappointment really. But anyway, cherish it girl, its something to savour and remember in your lifetime. ;)

2) Words of encouragement for MEshell.

Recent events have taken quite a toll on you, I can tell. I won't mention what they are, as you know them yourself. And its understandable if you begin to feel listless and not-so-hopeful of how things would turn out. But mich, keep praying like you always have. Some events in life can be really harsh and unexpected as I'm sure you know, but, whatever happens, be strong... and never lose hope. Ever.


3) A message to sunrae

You transfered to SSI in March. And at that time, I only knew you as "that new girl". It started with a rather random add through Friendster (which I hardly use nowadays) and some sms-es later, we got along as fine pals. And how much a few months can do to that "new girl" tag. From what I can extrapolate, you came feeling rather apprehensive about how things would turn out, having moved from the relative comfort zone that is Subang Jaya, where all your fond memories and friends were. And not to mention all the problems that you were facing. I did what I could to help. Perhaps I only thought of myself as a stopgap measure before your sis came back and before you find your footing in SSI.

And I guess, I can finally say that you have finally found your footing here, with the friends and all. I suppose it can be fair to say that my task is basically done. After SPM is done and dusted with and I go on with studies to who-knows-where, at least you'll be thriving well enough in school to make it sufficiently enjoyable.

4) To my fellow SPM warriors (for lack of better term)
Well. All the best peeps. Its been 5 years in secondary school. And its time to make the most of those years of fun, or agony. Whichever applies. Give your best, and let God do the rest =)


5) Post-SPM hitlist.

I just HAVE to write about this. Self-indulgence at its best after SPM.






Ok fine no details. I don't have avid gamer readers anyway. Red Alert 3 looks rather anime-ish. Spore is cute though XD.


















But Fallout 3's gonna be MASSIVE.

for more info on any of the aformentioned games just ask me....or check any freaking game website you lazybone! XD

Cheers. Pray for my SPM. heh.

more tags. yay.

1 ) Are you allowed to have a bf/gf?
My mum constantly pesters me if I have one or not. But technically, no. Not yet.

2 ) Describe urself in one word.
erratic.

3 ) Who would you pick, someone who really loves you, or the one you love?
Neither would work, in practice. It has to be both ways.

4) Have you ever loved someone BEFORE but never had the courage to tell him/her?
"Love" is a strong word. I have not truly asserted that feeling yet. But there are people I care for, and perhaps that is the basis to love. No further comments.

5 ) Does it feel good to love?
It is a wonderful feeling, and lack of it can drag people down the dark road.

6 ) What's the best thing to do with the one you love?
With the one you love, anything, be they silly, dumb or usually plain, can be an enriching experience and they can all be the best thing that can be done with a loved one.

7) What will you say to someone who doesn't want to believe you??
Believe it or not, its your choice. I only say what I saw/believe/heard/etc

8 ) Was there ever a time that you tried to learn to love someone?
Yes. Throughout teenage years, trying to understand and comprehend the deep, compelling nature of truly loving someone, that it is caring for the other and wanting only the best for him/her. Knowing and learning is one thing, but understanding it and practicing it, is a different matter altogether

9 ) What's your opinion about someone who's jealous?
They should be thankful with what they have

10 ) What would you say to playboys/playgirls?
Don't come near me.


[[ * PART 2 * ]]

1 ) Best place to cry?
Lock myself up in a room.

2) Who do you love the most?
Theres not one that stand out to be "the most". There are quite a handful, so to speak =)

3 ) Tell us about ur dream last night?
I dreamt that I was dreaming.

4) Ever hated someone so bad?
I used to hate some school people before, back in primary school days. But now, I try not to hate.

5 )The biggest & most hurtful lie you heard?
Not so much a lie. I basically got more verbal abuse than deceitful lies.

The last person..
-you had a beer with?
Cousin, his family, my family. Cousin's birthday bash. Just now

-you went to the movies with?
Uhm............Gabs and sunrae, a few months ago.

-you talked on the cell phone with?
mich. haha.

-you hugged?
Cousin.

-you yelled at?
The karaoke set.

In the last week have you..
~Kissed someone?
no.

~Danced crazy?
no.


Think of the last time u were angry, why were u angry?
When I read about the brutal murder of Lai Ying Xin in the newspaper. The people who did that were cruel, inhumane. You'd feel the same way too.

If you could do anything OR wish anything, what would it be?
I'd rather work for it or pray for it. =)

If you could have an all expense paid trip, where will you go?
Heaven, if that counts. harhar. Otherwise, Paris would be nice.

Would you or have you ever blackmailed someone?
Aside from being a joke, no.

Are you old fashioned?
Far from it.

What would be harder for you, to tell someone you love them or that you do not love them back?
Hmm. I think both are quite ok for me to say. hehe.

What thing would be the hardest thing for you to give up on?
Peace, serenity (they're 2 things, but, well, they come in a package, I suppose)

Lets not talk about trial exams. For they're inexorably boring and un-stimulating, it'd make a dead, rolled over bear roll over even more in its stenching grave.




Its not bloody over yet anyway. Theres still Biology paper 3 on Tuesday.

Fine. no more about it

***************************************************************************

News 1: 916 didn't materialize.


Joy for some. Despair for others. Kinda potong-steam to me. And its appearing more and more like a soap opera being dragged on and on unnecessarily. Anwar's proposed plan to topple the Government and set up a Pakatan-ruled cabinet has hit a roadblock. Or has it hit the wall? Only time will tell whether the 30-odd + MP's that he claims to have "acquired" is the real deal or a rant on cloud 8.5 (not at 9 yet).



News 2: The brutal kindapping-murder of Lai Ying Xin






One of the most inhumane acts thinkable, the kidnapping and the subsequent brutal manual strangling, killing and partial burning of a really innocent 16-year girl who really only wants to lead her own life happily. Why? (presumably) the dude who was ditched by her just couldn't take it. IF he really liked her, he wouldn't do this to her but instead try to make her happy and want only the best for her. But, no. He (if it really is him) only wanted to fill personal needs and when he didn't get her, he had to kill her in the most cruel way possible. And it transpired right here in Johor. When you look at that smile, and then imagine what those bastards did to her, it'll fill your eyes with tears and make your blood boil in anger as to how they could ever do such a thing to her.




News 3: Dumb usage of ISA. And even dumber reasons for using it.



Tan Hoon Cheng. Teresa Kok. Raja Petra. "Victims" (if you could say so) of the liberal, unjustified use of the Internal Security Act (ISA) by the police. Tan was released after around 18 hours. Teresa Kok after about a week. Raja Petra? Maybe they wanna keep him in longer cos they think he's a "threat to national security" with his forthright views on "that-which-must-not-be-said-or-I'll-end-up-detained-under-ISA" in his blog and on MalaysiaToday. As for Tan, Syed Hamid's reason for her detention was "for her safety". For what "safety"? How can you keep someone safe by detaining them under the ISA? The ISA is meant for people who are suspected to be GENUINE threat to national security (suicide bombers, nuclear terrorists, anthrax dealers, etc. you get the picture). Not for someone who reports what is said by some overly racist dude from Bukit Bendera.


News 4: The SPM Pendidikan Moral exam issue

The SPM Pendidikan Moral exam is pushed back 1/2 hour later than scheduled. But that ain't solving the mental/physical torture that's to be endured by 17 year old non-Muslims all over the country, what with 2 papers of Add Maths followed by Moral, which is effectively 7 hours of brain busting goodness. They HAVE to change the day. Guess they're really threatened by us "squatters"(as said by somebody) and want to subdue the majority of us "squatter" students. Hmm....what are they afraid of, eh?

********************************************************************

The Chronicles of Ahmad Ismail, (former) head of Bukit Bendera

But Chinese leaders want Ahmad Ismail himself to apologize.....

Yearp. Thats Malaysian racial harmony for you.

The calm before the storm.

Trials is around the block. I could've said sayonara to History, if not for some useful pointers from the good ol' History teacher. So....yes. I'm officially ditching (not totally, but, hmm. 90% of) Form 4 chapters 4-8 (though I already read chapters 4 and 5, which are pretty ok) and form 5 chapters 3-8.

Which leaves me with just Form 4 chapters 1-3, 9, 10. And form 5 chapters 1,2, and 9 to read through. Thoroughly.













I'm sure you don't understand one shit I'm talking about. Doesn't matter. (Hopefully) You'll know when you're form 5, to those concerned.







No time to chronicle all the events (of lack of it) that has passed in recent days in DEEP DETAIL. But just a glimpse of it anyway.



1) My kind and thoughtful class (ahem) threw a surprise (mini) birthday bash for our form teacher, Cik Norlela on Merdeka eve. The class collaborated and decided that some remain in class so that the class looks "deserted" and while she laments the apparently barren class, the rest of the class "taking refuge" in the next class marched (to put in a way) into the class, with the cake, of course. And, yay to one period of BM used up for eating cakes and snacks =P

At 7.10 am.

Bday girl and her cake. heh.

Erm. 2nd class photo. Minus me. I was the "official" photographer of this event.

yum.

2) Suan actually bought a snack from Singapore in an increasingly desperate attempt to prove her "sweetness" (or, heck, dire lack of it lah) She's hoping the caramel choc bar is as sweet as her*coughcough*
Not sure bout that one, but thanks anyway =P



3) For Johorian's, Form 5 Trials on Monday! SMK Sultan Ismail's standing army, OUR trials starts on Saturday @%^$$^@&$^$%#$%#!!!! But whatever lar its EST.








4) omg Man City actually signed Robinho -.- Proudly sponsored by their Arab owners.




Arabs. you gotta love them.







p.s. some pics can't be uploaded yet. later.
p.p.s won't be blogging for some time.
