Your best friend always sticking up for you
Even when I know you're wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance
five-hour phone conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had and me...
or at least his sister.

ordinary, boring day. yes. skipped phung. she's a bore. too. i'm not freaking out. but i'm kinda stressed-up with spm. so, don't mind me if i'm just not in the mood to talk to you nowadays. i pity sze luan. was so lazy to layan her today. haha.
a bad day. i would say. and, oddly enough, sometimes, i just willingly slack back, pityful, pathetic, and pretty much a slob. for awhile. i'm a self-proclaimed procrastinator, paranoia, hater and i'm proud of it. XD. that's it. from today onwards, i will strive everyday, so if you see me sad, or whatever, for no particular reason, pinch me.
approximately 365 days ago...
so there i was, devastated, depressed, dumbfounded, tongue-tied, heart-broken, and any and every word in the English vocabulary that describes a surreptitiously smouldering individual, like that of a wrongly-accused 6-year-old.
at the state that i was, no consolatory condolence, regardless in the form of verbal, nor action, could have made me feel any better. at 200 degree celcius, i was prone to blow up and explode. likely to transform into the first ever serial killer in the history of smk seafield.
sloppy and messy, i shambled across the school compound in a sluggish catwalk, simultaneously shamming i was ill, practically giving 110 percent to fall sick, ready to be swallowed by utter depression.
very much a walking zombie, i was infuriated by the fact that i was lucky enough to be the minority of 1 out of 2900 to have another Lemony Snicket scenario befall me. the unpredictable, the unimagined, the impossible happened. reality shouted a wake up call into my face. akkw left seafield.
approximately 365 days later...
amazing how i picked myself up to be who i am today. like a begger with a winning lottery ticket. ever single thing was going wrong. my world was falling apart. i was in a class with 35 strangers, alot of homework, and this guy i had a crush on for 9 months and 3 days left school.
i think. life really isn't that bad. it's only as bad as we let it be. i mean, instead of being all lugubrious, exaggerating the whole story, i could have laughed it out loud, like i always do. i mean, i must have been so out of my mind. haha.
so here's my promise. from today onwards. i'll live day by day. and i'll live everyday like it's a gift, and i'll live my life with arms wide open, and i'll not wait for anything before deciding to be happy. and i'll not let anyone, like at all, bring me down. XD dont mind me. off to study. woooooooooooooo!!
LoveMeForMe.

Introduction
morning world!! weeeeeeeeeeee!! I'm over the whole it's-spm-so-freak-out phase. it happens. haha. before I go on out of topic, first and foremost, i wanna wish the Leo club all the best for today's iu!! damn, I so wanna be there, besides, Joel's prolly gonna be in formals for the first time in a public school event. Blah.
The remedy
okay. anyway, WORLD (which is really just a few person), I found the perfect remedy (more like ingredients) to avoid me from the whole slacking and all. It's like smoking dope, taking marijuana, my ecstacy *wink*, haha, no lah, it just gets me hyped-up. somehow, it makes me really, really happy, dope.
maybe not really, really happy. after having it, i couldn't sleep last night. listen close: milo + cereal + sugar + milk solids + palm oil, and of course lots of vitamins, mostly vitamin B, niacin, pantothenic acid, folic acid and permitted stabiliser. weeeeeeeeheeeeeeee!! don't ask me how did i mix all of that. i just did.
dotA mou?
by the way, drink lots of plain water with that, and some ice-cream. haha. i have weird eating habits. i know. back on track, what have I been doing the last couple of days. it's just naturally-compulsory to state down, you know, just for the record. besides surfing the net, doing homework, sleeping alot, I got my brother to ass off, and I, Joanne, got myself dota-fied.
weeeee!! it's pretty pointless talking about it, considering most of you won't understand a thing I'd say. haha. let's just put it this way, you know there's this guy (or some creature) behind the screen that encourages killing sprees? well he goes "OWNING!!", "DOMINATING!!" and all that. in my case, he'd probably go "FEEDING!!", if, by any chance, he was supposed to.
so dotA's out of my list, at the meantime. besides, Joel told me not to get addicted, just because Adrian (and all) is. Blah. I wont, don't worry. I realized guys are downright bad at explaining stuff. for example, I'd be dota-ing away, with my brother beside, and he'll shout "run!!", "back!!", "why you buy slippers?!!".
and there are all these terms, "all pick", "all random", "death match", "hot keys", "roshan" and alot more I don't remember. and my brother starts saying all these things and every once in awhile I'd go blinking like a totally clueless 3 year old while someone's pawning my hero's head. and at the same time wondering "pawn? gadai? why the head? they chop the head off?"
and Ben continues shouting, then my parents (think we're fighting) will start shouting, then Jess, trying to watch tele will start shouting, then the whole house goes mad. pity my neighbours. amen. and I'll start yelling shut up, while my hero (not literally) dies the twentieth time, and the whole house continues to shout, and I'd shout "BEN, SPEAK ENGLISH."
chaotic. Blah. and Ben totally fears me. more than The Mum. discrimination prevails in the family. Blah. "shut up or I'll slap your face into half". booyah violence's in the blood!! I'm SUCH a terrible person. haha. all I have to do is shoot him the look. muahaha. he dared not say I'm a noob. "Joanne, I think you better play offline first".
On homework.
so that's the dota and I story. we just don't click. not yet. I think for once, I'm listening to Ben. besides, there's really no point starting the game and letting Ben end them while saying things like "you know why I pick the Lich? cuz it's so PReEeETY", "Ben!! don't go to the water!! later your light burn out!!", "go frost them, faster, go pawn someone!! wooo!!", "you know why I pick the Lich? you know? you know?".
Ben'd go "because the Lich is so PReEeETY. the Lich is one of the lousiest hero la, can't attack, only help attacking heroes". okay, okay. enough. did i mention my dad's always mia? oh, and my sis' in hia, fyi. I simply hate her girlfriend. i would kill her, if it's legal. in fact, I used to throw tantrums when she comes over to my place. I wanna hurl insults, hurl HER out the window, destroy her, impale her!!, cremate her...
hehe. I hate her to me 206 bones. i doubt i have 206, do I? anyway, I got to talk to my dad over the dinner table last night. he studied 5 hours everyday at my age, and stil have time for sports (mostly basketball and jogging, no football -weird), and 8 hours of sleep!!
"now THAT, is SO unfair. EIGHT hours of SLEEP? and you can wake up SEVEN, school starts at EIGHT (ends at 'one something') AND you can nap in the afternoon."
" *smiles* that's your problem lah, who ask you not to stay in the hostel?"
" *raises eyebrows* Seafield hostel? if only we didn't shift here, we would have save alot of TIME and MONEY on petrol (gone up 30cents, parents making a HUGE fuss), AND i'll be more active in school, AND mum won't have to whine about driving us around (in fact, Jess just got her license, amen)."
The kerosene lamp.
when I was young, my dad always told me stories about his childhood, his first sip of milo on a wednesday, how poor he was, till milk was merely condensed milk + water. and how he'd do homework under a miserable kerosene lamp, and birthdays would mean an extra egg. tele at the rich kid's house, stealing guavas and getting caught, helping out at the paddy field, striving hard, finally got scholarship to some school, and one month later my grandpa passed away.
I never got to meet him. my dad was the youngest in the family. lucky me, he got all the benefits of education. so he lived in a hostel with three other kids during form 4, and he got allowance weekly. Blah. he thinks I should appreciate more. bottom line. kerosene lamp. Blah. aint it great? you NEED to sleep early to save the oil, and thus, a great excuse for NOT completing assignments.
not that they had alot back then. AND they had kess history to learn. muahaha. the next generation shall suffer mind-exploding amount of history. Blah. and, fyi, my dad should win a nobel prize for saving electricity and materials of the world, etc. for example, i MUST off the lights and fan, even if i want leave the computer, to go downstairs to get a 2 minutes drink.
So i was starting off my stupid LAST (double amen) moral project, taking A4 papers from the printer. and my dad went "Jo, why are you taking the papers?"
"tsk. UGH!! you wanna do my homework for me? do you? do you? *walks to my room*"
"I completed my homework long time ago."
"*enters room, peek out the door* oh yea? well did you have SO MUCH homework? did you have SO MANY assignments? did you have MORAL PROJECT? NoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo... *slams door*"
Conclusion.
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! I think I'm gonna go lock myself in the room. my neighbour's doing construction again. Drilling, hammering, it's the drilling that drives us hairwire usually. drilling since last year. during spm. through the holidays. Blah. rich people wasting money to uglify the house into some square thang. Jess and i vowed to hate the neighbour.
and when they shift in, she'll blast music so LOUD, and I'll play the organ at maximum volumn, till it drives the neighbour crazy, preferably till they commit suicide, OR pay both of us EACH compensation in the form of (cold hard) cash, of course. LoveMeForMe.

I know this is so syok sendiri.
haha. I'm just super glad that iu's finally over and done with!! woooooo!! and it turned out awesome!! better than many previous ones. amry definately did a great job. guaranteed 99% satisfaction. worth it? you bet!!
if you actually realized, I've been online 24/7 for the past few days. haha. Freak. I spent 5 days powerpointing. as no-life as it seems. haha. so maybe 80 slides may seem insignificant compared to what esther or amry did but when it comes to computer programmes, I'm almost a total noob.
and fyi. i did the online research myself, which i doubt i'm any good at, haha, and animation along with music plus the delays and... haha. I should shut up. but really. i don't get how can guys sit in from of the screen for few hours. without falling sick or going hairwire. XD believe me, it's sheer luck I didn't smash the computer screen or commit suicide with the wires.
iu summary. skip it if you were absent.
fashion show was ok. people cheered extra for certain people. happens all the time. popularity and physical beauty dominates the upper class of teenager hierarchies. whoah, deep. speeches. one way street. one way strret did a really good job!! they actually performed quite alot. haha. and the drummer was so cool!!
not really. it's more like. i'm such a jackoon. haha. but he played well. no doubt. dance. brenda and her friend. beat it!! then a drama on the factual story of Count Dracula. dinner was ok. food was ok. some liked it. Jess said no cuz she didn't get to eat anything. ahha. and I stained her skirt while stealing her food.
she looks weird in skirt. with that hair. and her shirt. so samseng. aunty. lala. bad combination. hahaha. ok. don't insult how I dressed. red spaghetti and a short black skirt. with black heels. I hate strappy heels. curse you feet killers. ugh. anyway. after dinner was tim and tjian (timothy and tjit tjian from one way street) with vocal and acoustic. ok-ni-lah.
slideshow presentation. this is a big haha. it was really kelam-kabut. the only part of iu which was kinda screwed-up. we had the audience waiting because we couldn't start up the laptop. poor amry had to read the polio slides. which was really-really-loooong. 70% of the profit we made from iu were donated to support the polio-eradication... thingy.
graceful aint we. haha. then function-z did their thang. they sang kau ilhamku!! lovely song. and they performed another 2 i think, but i was too busy changing the fonts, because that stupid laptop doesn't have my font. ish? you bet!! thankfully bhakti was there to like calm me down. haha. I even started singing along to the malay song. Lol.
and because of some so-called technical difficulties, the background music couldn't be played. so I covered-up with the folk songs. and I had to speak on the mike. which I totally didn't expect. I struggled through the slideshow with a little help from Josh. haha. wikipedia. thinking back it was seriously humorous!! and I made stupid mistakes like caval...holes. and i simply despise pronouncing romanian words. at least i got the crowd laughing at a 73 slides slideshow. ^^
ok. enough whining. then shuffling. it wouldn't have been so good without the lights. then the second drama was really good. funny at parts. Fuad was so funny up there. and amry seriously did a great job up there, dancing so seductively. haha. all the guys were like eyeing on her. Lol. then souveniers, amry's violin solo and award presentations.
after the Interact song, nishaa lost her handbag and handphone, and then the finale. Hora!! I couldn't believe it. I actually got Li Jen to dance. and alot of others did too!! haha. Jenny and Chai Yin. Tjit Ming and Joseph. not that we actually did anything close to a good job. it starts of fine. then the music got faster and I'd go "hey, we're walking again".
we're running in circles again. haha. after hora, we were dancing and all. almost like clubbing in formal clothings. weirdddd... Lol. amry seriously did a great job. and damn, she can dance!! she's SO talented. envy? you bet. after Jeremy (who was really funny during the whole iu) and some guys did their thang on the stage, shuffling, dancing and all, it was done.
farewell was a long process. people taking pictures and all. and I had to part with my beloved fellow posers. shaun and ken sing. till we meet again. next month I guess. XD study hard in college yea.
didn't believe I could do it? haha. Joel and I was aiming for Top Ten merentas desa this year. you maybe thinking I'm having too high a target, but really, like they say, aim for the moon, so if you don't get there, at least you'll land among the stars.
I got 11th. Ish. So, as an act of self-consoling, I'd say I got the 10th runner-up. not that it helps that much. to come to think of it. haha. Joel's ligamen or something tore. poor thing. he was actually behind that guy who got second place.
till he hurt himself and had to walk back. and it was really painful. I mean. think about it. I could have flicked it. now I wasn't even allowed to touch it. screw effin Jee Kin. now Joel really wanna kill him. me too. Joel's in bomba camp now. we'll kill him someday. no worries. holidays!! yea!!learning to breath again.
gg. click the player at the right to hear my siblings and I sing. haha. (Jess yelled shut up lah). Last but not least, dear Li Jen, haha, same to you la, all the best tomorrow aite, go break a leg!! (not literally). Leo IU. sorry I can't be there. =)
LoveMeForMe.

Joel. I never really realized how precious is the sight of Joel smiling, till what happened recently. I don't wanna mention about it. ever tried glacing at a person every 10 seconds to see if he's smiling? *roll eyes* Joel's such a pig. I could sit with him on the park bench for a whole day, saying absolutely nothing, and pretend that it's the best conversation ever.
right now. this very moment. I don't want to think about us parting, my pig going to college and all. I'd even go "aww, my pig's growing up" in that aunty tone when I see him going all lembik over some girl. don't you just love a happy Joel? funny, hunky, cute, tak halal...
so here. I just wanna say a big thank you to Joel, for coming in my life and all, pulling through the toughest times in form 4. and of course, nonetheless, all of my other friends. regardless my classmates. or not. thanks for, well I don't know. every single thing you guys did.
joel. ellan. quan wei. nishaa. sze luan. li jen. adrian. bay. adham. da qiang. foong ang. agnes. clement. ben. ji yung. kwan yi. esther. samuel. kishok. shaun. nad. worene. samantha. weng yue. chin yin. melissa. ganesha. izzah. lesley. thum. almaz. anis. deepa. denise. diana. elisa. eve lynn. grace. hsiao yinn. hui wen. khairul. khairunissa. logan. ross. wai chien. wai tseung. yi jien. zheng joo. yi heng. ken hon. bik yun. ting yu. loh. chai li. ei-jean. izzo. amry. emily. adam. and all the names i missed.
one thing though. I'm not as graceful as Li Jen. I'm not thanking those of you who I still hold grudges againts. I simply hate the few of you. I won't show it. Like you guys don't anyway. Eff. whatever. you don't know me, so don't act like you do. don't make-up effin stories cuz I'll never shed a single tear because of them. save it for your tombstone. Freaks. I hope you guys perish with thin air. forgiveness is so not in my vocabulary. I think about killing you guys all the time...
