Gasp!!! It's unlucky Friday the Thirteenth.... and I didn't even realized it...

Went with mum to the park again. But instead of the usual one round, I walked TWO rounds, which means that I walked 3.2 km.... wow... big achievement, but it came with a price.... I was dead exhausted by noon... I fell asleep at someone else's house, just like that.... zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Some bunch of people who are related to me (I have no idea how) came to my house today, and the 'thing' that was the center of attention of them all was no other than my lovely cat, BUSH. They commented on how pretty he looked (say they had never seen cats with his color before), how fat he is, and how pampered he is in our house. Wah... my head is swelling with pride.... I wonder if I still can go through the door......

I went to the optometrist again today to practice using contact lenses. After much futile attempts yesterday, I came with a renewed spirit and determination to put those bloody things into my eyes and to take them out professionally. And guess what? I succeeded!!!! HAHAHAHA.... The optometrist gave me a sample pair to wear for 4 hours, which I took off just now, and I bought a pair of monthly disposable contact lenses (daily type have no more stock). I absolutely LOVE wearing them... cause I can see things crystal clearly without those stupid heavy glasses. I am so happy.....J

I didn't go to the park today.... Couldn't wake up....

I went to the optometrist today to check my eyes. At the same time, I decided to try out a pair of contact lenses, cause I'm so sick of wearing glasses and would like to know how it is like to wear them. I had some trouble putting them in cause my eye won't stop moving around, and I even had more trouble taking them out. The workers there told me to lightly pinch the thing out, but I just could not pinch my eye. So sad... I'm not even sure I can wear contact lenses... it's seems very troublesome... I'm going back there tomorrow to practice.

If I am going to wear contacts, I will most likely get daily disposable lenses. It doesn't really cost THAT much, and the best thing about it is that you don't have to buy the cleansing solution cause basically you just throw them away after using them. And it's not like I am going to wear them everyday... only when I go out or have a special function or blah blah. This daily disposable type are mainly for lazy people like me who doesn't bother to keep the lenses properly and to clean them everyday...

I went to the park again early this morning. But this time I brought my digital camera with me to take some picture of Venus and of the sun rising (I am weird....I know, I know). I was also prepared against the stupid mosquitoes. I took quite a number of nice pictures... they are in the 'Odds & Ends' section. Click here to go there.... . The pictures are definitely worth having a look at.

I still got bitten by mosquitoes...but only two bite on my right arm. Tomorrow, I swear I'll have no bites....

While I was busy typing this, my mum asked me to dye her hair. The peroxide smelled horrible, and my right hand is brown because of it.... and it won't come off!!!! Boo Hoo...... looks like I'm stuck with a dirty-looking brown hand for the rest of my life....!!!! Did I mention that my hand smells too? Hmm.... I'm seeing stuff... this must be the aftermath of smelling the dye.... Hey, why is the screen turning brown, and black....? Uh-oh....

Woke up very very early this morning. Before 5 a.m.. I went to the forest park next to my house with my mum for a morning walk. My mum has been going for almost three years... every morning to walk three rounds... and goes there earlier and earlier. The reason why I went along this time was to train myself before going to KL and Singapore, so that I won't get tired after walking around. We reach the park at around 5.40 a.m.... and it was dark and cold. My mum brought a torchlight, but I must admit, it is creepy walking in the forest in the dark. I was so afraid that I was going to see a ghost, or step on a snake. I only walked for one round... that's about 1.6 km (never-ending) and stood near the car while waiting for my mum to finish another two round. I was itching all over. I assumed it was because of my blood circulation (it happens to me after I exercise)... but it wasn't. In actual fact, it was mosquitoes... but I was too busy star-gazing to notice. I went home with about 5 mosquito bites on my neck, 5 on my right arm, and 2 on my left arm.... talk about being unlucky...

But I am happy because I actually got the chance to just stand there and watch the sun rise. It was beautiful (I sound like a vampire who never saw the sun before)... and I took this advantage to spot for Venus. According to this 'Stars & Planets' handbook that teaches you how to spot these celestial bodies... Venus can be spotted during sunrise this whole month. I saw two very bright shining 'stars' near the sun, so I wasn't sure which one is Venus. Then the other star over to the left started to disappear.... and the one towards the right began shining brighter and brighter as the sun got higher, did I realized that it IS Venus. I was so happy (and sakai)... finally saw a planet! One down...four more to go! Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.... I'll spot you as soon as I get the chance!!!

This whole afternoon I was busy clearing up my room. This time is different. I am planning to go through every inch of my room and sort out all my junk. So far only a third is done. I have produced two bags of junk plus one very big bag of useless paper that I plan to recycle. Save our planet! Throw it into the blue bin!

By the time I finish typing this, it would be Sunday... but who cares anyway?

My dad came back from Guangzhou, China today. Brought back loads of stuff. I'm very sure he has spend a lot in China. Must be broke already. Back home here, mum and I are pretty much broke after we went to MJC this morning. In other words... our whole family is broke...

My dad brought back a lot of weird Chinese junk food. They look weird, smell weird, and taste weird (some are not nice). He also brought back a pair of sponge mice that can move by pulling a string. One pink and one white. Specially for BUSH. He likes pawing it... aaaaaahhhhh... so cute.....

Yay, next week I'll be leaving boring Kuching for Johor Bahru, Kuala Lumpur, Genting & Singapore... I am so gonna miss my bed, LILY, and of course, BUSH. I am pretty sure I am gonna be more broke after this trip.

I went to watch 'Die Another Day'. Must say, went in without much expectations. After all, it IS a Bond movie... so you can't expect much. But that movie was bloody good... the best Bond film I had ever watched. I was so impressed... especially by the Korean bad guys... they were mean... but cool (what's with me and bad guys?). Saw Madonna in it... bleh.... she looks scary... eyes so big, even though she's 40++ now. I bet you a thousand pounds that she had done some plastic surgery.

They showed some trailers before the movie. Obviously there was 'The Two Towers'.... and I just looooove it.... can't wait for that movie... They also showed a trailer on the movie 'Hero'. That movie has lots of famous stars in it, including 'International Action Star' Jet Li, 'Cannes Film Festival Winner' Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, 'Berlin Film Festival Winner' Maggie Cheung, 'British Academy Award Nominee' Zhang Ziyi, and 'Martial Arts Legend' Donnie Yen. Yes, that's what they put down, although I'm not very sure about Maggie Cheung's. Looks impressive, maybe I'll watch it.

I also managed to have a look at some upcoming movies' posters... namely 'Charlie's Angels 2', 'X-Men 2', 'Daredevil' and the whole set of 'The Two Towers' characters' posters. There exactly like the new wallpapers I put up. Too bad... didn't get to see 'The Matrix Reloaded' poster.

Yeah.. went out with my mum again today. Guess what? I pierced my ears AGAIN!! This time it isn't the 'alang-alang' just one side... instead it is the normal both sides... cost me RM 9. It hurts, but the position is better, unlike last time... I had to be so careful while changing my clothe so that it won't get hooked to the fabric and cause me much misery and pain. I'm so happy now... finally got it pierced... I was planning to follow this ex-tuition teacher of mine who was 30... and still has not pierced her ears!!! But now, it's pierced... lalalala...

Went out today with my mom. She had to run some errands, and I followed along. Unfortunately, I didn't eat any breakfast (no food at home), and very soon, I found myself feeling weak and drowsy. I thought it was because I didn't have enough sleep... until my stomach started growling did I realize that I'm weak from hunger...

I practically dragged myself around... I barely had enough energy left to walk... My mum was at this travel agency to get my sister's ticket, and she promised to get lunch straight after she's done. BUT... she was taking a bloody long time, and I remember seeing a food stall next to it. So I stood up, walked with what strength I have left to that stall, and ate a bowl of kolo mee alone. By the time I finished that bowl of mee, my mum walked out and said she was done....

We then went to Hock Lee, and went up so that she can get lunch. But I was still feeling hungry, and ordered a plate of beef burger and fries..... mmmmm, delicious... I am such a pig.... Yes, I finished that too.

I bought an earring (the round type) to change with the ugly golden one on my right ear. So when I was at home, I tried pulling it out of my ear... and GOODNESS, it hurt like hell cause it was SOOOOOOO hard to pull out. The thing is hard and my ear was red by the time I managed to pull it out (with the help of a pair of pliers). I tried putting the new round earring in, but it hurt even more because it's round and the hole in my ear is straight. I gave up, and wore the stud type (not the gold one... I'm never using the gold one ever ever again). Geez... no one told me that wearing and taking out an earring would hurt so much....

Did I mention that I am a Red Crescent member? Well, during these holidays, we have decided to plan a year-end evaluation for our juniors. Today is the second day of that evaluation, and we had a 'Search and Rescue' thingie where we act as injured people, and the juniors will have to find us, diagnose what our problem is, and treat us. I get to play a person who got electric shock and burns...

It started which me clinging onto a live wire, and they are suppose to remove me from it. My hands were painted red to indicate that I have burns. Out of three groups, TWO touched my straight away without removing the wire... my gosh, if it was in real life... they would have been fried... All THREE groups treated me wrongly, and left me in a very very uncomfortable position. In the end, I DIED THREE TIMES IN ONE DAY... sigh...

Ugh... barely had much sleep last night. Obviously... I can't sleep on my right, cause it'll hurt like mad. Basically I suffered the whole night because I had to be careful with the ear!!!

Then in the afternoon, I had a nap... and woke up with a ringing to my head. I guess that is what happens if you sleep in such a horribly hot weather like here!!! I HATE THE WEATHER!!! SO BLOODY HOT!!! At least rain morelah, or something...

I've been feeling horrible these past few days, cause I have absolutely nothing to read... and I'm feeling so lazy to do anything else but that... and my mum keeps picking on me because I have nothing to do.... argh!


Thursday, 21 November 2002

I went out today... and guess what? I pierced my ear!!!

I know, you're probably wondering what's the big deal about it... well, that's because I had never EVER pierced any part of my body before, and it's my first time!!! BUT, it's not the normal piercing on each earlobe. In fact, it's just one side, on the top of my right ear!! Cool or what??

I was kinda scared of piercing my ear, but two friends of mine practically forced me to do it. At first the ear-piercing lady told me that my ear was unsuitable to pierce the top part, and I was soooo relieved and almost walked out on it... then she said maybe she can do it.... and she did!!!

It hurt for the first hour, then I got used to the pain. But I'm such a klutz that I keep on accidentally touching and boy does it hurt!!!

I was quite nervous of showing it to my mum, cause when I mentioned it a few days ago, she shook her head and said "No, you'll look like 'pai kia' (samseng / gangster)". But I showed it to her anyway, and she looked at it with a wrinkled face and said, , which means... "not nice". At least she seemed okay with it...

My dad? Nah... no need to bother... He'll never notice it anyway. Very bad at these stuff. Totally clueless about changes around him. I remember once when I got my eyebrows shaven by my brother when I was probably around 6 years old... everyone noticed that I had no eyebrows almost instantly... but it took him a week to say, "Eh... what happened to your eyebrows?". Might as well spare myself all the trouble...

Wow... I haven't been online for a while... already starting to forget about stuff...

I went to that plastic surgeon...my mum made me remove my 'sexy' mole on my right hand... Oh... how my heart breaks... costs about RM 100. Now I have a big plaster on my hand... annoying. I can't take my bath properly because I must not wet it... did I mention that it's on my right hand? I'm right-handed.... I feel like I only have one functional hand...

My room is a mess again... not something new. I'm making dried pressed flowers, and my table is full of rotting flowers and leaves. The floor has my pants and bags, my bed a mess... the rack full of books... AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!! [BumbleBee bangs her head on the wall]

Hahaha... I am so pigging out this holidays. I just spent about RM 18 on food... know what I bought? PRINGLES... CHOCOS... CHOCOLATE LOVE LETTERS... BISCUITS... mmmmmm... I still have ice-cream, milk & Ferrero Rocher in the fridge... not to mention a pack of soy bean milk in the cabinet... wanna camp over at my house? NO PROBLEMO... but first, thou shall clean up mine room for me first...

I love that CHICHIRI dance picture down there....he's sooooo KAWAI (cute in Japanese.... hmmm, must add that in the 'Language Center')


Thursday, 14th November 2002

Do you know what's special about today?? HARRY POTTER & THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS is released today!!! I went to watch it with a bunch of friends... and my, was the cinema packed. Last night I watched this half an hour special on Harry Potter, and I'm just damn excited to see the movie. I absolutely LOVED reading the books, my favorite being the third book, HARRY POTTER & THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN.

I watched it, and was definitely impressed by it. Besides Ron (played by Rupert Grint, I think, I forgot his name), who is my favorite, I was SOOOO impressed by Professor Snape (played by Alan Rickman). He's so cool, especially when he kicked Gilderoy Lockhart's butt during the Duelling Club meeting. I know, I know, he hates Harry, so what? Nasty guys are cool too....

I must say, this film's better than the first (coz I liked this book better than the first too). Although there weren't much time and space for ALL the characters (FRED & GEORGE, OLIVER WOOD too, Boo Hoo), but the effects were FANTASTIC... Thumbs up...!!

Oh ya, when is that stupid fifth book, HARRY POTTER & THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX, coming out?? Ya TWO years late, Rowling!!!!


Tuesday, 12th November 2002

Woke up rather early this morning, at about 9 o'clock. Got a shock when I could not find BUSH, me cat. Guess where he was? OUTSIDE of my house. He was probably busy chasing some grass-hopper and I had quite some trouble shooing him into the house. My 'blind' mother probably accidentally let him out of the house this morning when she went out for an appointment with that plastic surgeon. And she didn't even know....

Sigh!! Well, today I did sweep the floor....and I had to cook rice too!! I NEVER cooked rice before, and thank goodness a friend of mine did tell me how. The rice turned out rather well, and I am full from lunch. Also, I bathed that stupid cat. Stupid, stupid cat.

My dad came back from Labuan last night. He brought back lots of chocolate, cause it's dirt cheap in Labuan (tax-free zone). Mmmmmm.... Ferrero Rocher, anyone?? He also bought this really cool WHITE GOLD necklace for me....WOW, white gold... it's so shiny and pretty... I'm throwing away all my silver necklaces.... haha, just kidding.


Friday, 8th November 2002

After two weeks of meaningless school days which involves a lot of dozing in class and 'Cho Tai Ti' playing, the school holidays ARE FINALLY HERE!!!!

Right now, a friend of mine is staying over for one night before she jets off to The Land Down Under, and what she is currently doing now is eating my food and reading my books....Sigh!!

I feel very groggy right now, just woke up from my afternoon nap. The thing about my afternoon naps is... I don't just nap for an hour... I SLEEP for a couple of hours. And when I sleep, absolutely nothing can wake me up. A few times already, my mum gave up trying to wake me up in time for church or for something else, because I totally ignore her! And guess what? I don't even remember her calling me to get up....

I am feeling kind of sad now, cause I don't think I'll ever get the chance to play 'Cho Tai Ti' in class anymore... Next year, we're all gonna be in Form FIVE... how DREADFUL!!! I only have these two months to enjoy being a teenager... you too... Sigh... isn't life totally unfair...???

I can't wait till it is DECEMBER... That's because... I AM GOING TO KL (finally), GENTING & SINGAPORE!!! Would you believe that I have never ever been to KL before? Considering that I am a Malaysian, this is very embarrassing... My mum keep saying that GENTING is gonna get bombed next... and this is what I always say to her, "Die, Dielah". I just hope that Genting won't have that many people... I don't really like crowded places.

SINGAPORE.... My goal is to shop until I drop... I have been saving a lot for this trip...please pray for me so that I won't go broke...

Man... I am sooooooooo hungry....can't wait for dinner... okay... that's all for now!!

Hah.... I am back. It's 10.30 p.m. now, and I just came back from a late night shopping and movie. Went to watch 'Mr. Deeds'. I thought it was gonna be a stupid movie... but it's actually good!! Very hilarious!!! I am so tired now, I think I can fall asleep while typing this....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....
