MELISSA CHONG SHEN TZU

please don't worry about the post before this one. :) really. even before you'd mentioned him, i was already thinking about stuff. i guess being sleepy but not being able to sleep at the same time, in addition to the peaceful, breezy atmosphere, reminded me of him.

so it's okay, don't worry Mel. :) and it's a good thing that i remember again.

i'm really not sure why i was tossing and turning in bed just now, even though i was yawning my head off waiting for my dad to fetch me at Upperstar just now.

tossing and turning thinking about a friend of mine.

i'm not even sure if he's my friend anymore.

all the same, i love him very much and i really hope that he will find his way into God's arms. he needs love that only God can give, the kind of love that never disappoints.

i know he's been disappointed by many people many times before.

i should know. i was one of them.

Sunday, December 27, 2009, 7:08 AM

stuff just won't stop happening to me.

after carolling, drama.

after drama, IBC (or CBC, hehe.).

after IBC, house bash.

after house bash, computer test.

after computer test, practical.

no wonder i haven't managed to get a job yet. T___T

i really ~~need~~ want the money. because one, i wanna buy some stuff for myself, to do crafts, and to start an art portfolio.

two, i wanna buy stuff for people... T___T i wanna hang out with people, spend time with people. and how do i do that if i don't have money to pay for gas (to transport people) and belanja them makan?? (don't keep asking people to go out and waste money just to spend time with me mah, right?)

now playing Castle Age. i kinda gave up Sacred Seasons because no one play with me, boring. T__T and in Castle Age, i can level up pretty fast. :D

Christmas this year is an 'okay' event for me. :)

Let me list down a few more visible Christmas blessings.

1. Dad managed to come home for Christmas night because our Sabah teenage basketball team lost. If they'd won, my dad would have to go accompany them to the finals.

2. I'm in charge of the Christmas decoration for our church hall this year. So glad everything turned out nice and pretty, with Kak Yee and Sophia's help, and Kiren's grace to allow me to work during her drama practice.

3. I got my Ouran Host Club CD. AHH!!! XD

4. We went for dinner at Nick's house Christmas night. His mum gave me an orange Thailand bead bag, which was really nice, and a skeleton-key (so to speak) necklace, which was cool. :) My Aunt Shirley gave me a SHOWER CAP with a zebra's head sticking out in front, and four limbs sticking out all around the cap. SO CUTE! Dinner was delicious, I loved the bread pudding, someone said I'm growing prettier :P, and i felt happy!

(have to hang the washed clothes now)

(done. now makan siu mai <3)

5. Even though I had no faith in carolling, it turned out quite... nice. :D Thanks to the efforts of Jinho! Faith, Nicholas, and Colin. Thank you!

merry Christmas. :)

Wednesday, December 23, 2009, 6:30 PM

Note:

My Favorite Christmas Song is 'Noel' ;

My Favorite Christmas Carol is 'Joy To The World'

this will have to be a short post (tsk, macam lah i post long posts often. *rolls eyes*) mummy expects me to be wrapping Christmas presents today, and perhaps we can get into the car and distribute presents all--

OMG! i had just realized that my brother went for tuition on Christmas EVE! okay, just a slight digression.

--over Kota Kinabalu.

my problem is that i don't know who to give my gifts to.

i just saw that they were really nice and cute, stuff that i'd like myself, so i bought them.

sighs. :(

i really want to get a job instead of living at home being a total waste of oxygen, food, water, energy, and space. i think i'll go google 'part time job kota kinabalu' now. :)

well, it's worth a try.

Avatar was nice. :) For the amount of money spent on it, it had no excuse not to be nice. Although it was really exciting, I could still leave it to go to the washroom in mid-movie. Well, no surprise there. :) Everyone is different.

I guess it's because I'm used to this whole magical-other world idea. I mean, c'mon. I've been planning fantastical plots for novels like that ever since primary school. Magical scenes, fantastic scenes... All 'what-ifs' have been playing through my mind again and again...

But Avatar really was awesome. :D One of the better movies I've watched. Christmas this year definitely won't be 'BEST CHRISTMAS EVER'.

Firstly, I have to study for my driving examinations.

Secondly, I'm quite bogged down by some church work.

If you systematically go through my to-do-list, you'll probably think, "Hey, not much lah." That was what I thought everytime I systematically go through my physical to-do-list.

But when it comes to actually DOING the stuff... Stressed out laah. It involves ~~a lot of calling people up...~~ No, I think I have just realized what the problem is. It involves a lot of socializing.

I HATE socializing, especially when some back-motive is concerned. The motives here are either to delegate my workload, or to get people to come to this, or to join that. But I've accepted the workload willingly so I should follow through willingly.

After all, HABIS SPM BHA, FREEDOM MACAM TIADA BATASAN"

Ahem. :(

And it doesn't help that I'm not familiar with a lot of the adult church members. I'm a very blur person. For example, I totally forgot that someone's dad passed away so the children can't join caroling. Thank goodness that someone reminded me before I do something totally stupid like calling them and asking them about it in a sickeningly persuasive and cheerful voice.

I have loads more to write here, but my mum's now nagging away at me. Telling my dad about how sorry she is that she can't raise the children to be people who can do house chores. Saying that when we go out, we'll be people who don't know how to do house chores.

Thanks a lot mum for the curse. :( I hate it when parents say things like that, as though predicting the future. I haven't been home much, that's why I couldn't help so much with the chores. Why haven't I been home?

Been out with my friends, which is justifiable because friends are people too, you know. Friendships don't just bloom into flowers like that dandy-peachy, friendship needs effort on my part too.

Secondly, church activities. And today, why was I out the whole day?

Because you guys came late to fetch me so I had to reach home at 11pm.

Fine. I'll sacrifice all my online time to do housechores. :( That'll make EVERYONE happy, I know, because the internet is a wasteland filled with rubbish, unlike church activities that will ensure you get God's blessings and BLAAAAHHHHHHHH. Gosh, my mood changed so fast within the same post.

Alright, I have to go now. Shower, and go to sleep. :)

the first time i read Holes, i loved it.

now, after countless of times, everytime i look at it, i feel sick.

is this what Literature is supposed to do? making you sick of a piece of Literature so that you can just throw up everything for exam?

or maybe i'm just not cut out to 'study' Literature.

my forte is enjoying it. :(

What type of person do you attract? Your Result: You attract geeks! Your stunning intellect and love of sci-fi and video games allures the geeks like nothing else. Maybe it is the sparkle in your eye that makes them want to text you, who knows. Geeks make good partners, but tend to be arguementative. If you are a TRUE geek magnet, you will know if that was spelled correctly, and actually care. If it is a bad-boy/bad-girl you are seeking, you are barking up the wrong tree, unless they are just 'bad' behind a PS2 console.
You attract Yuppies!
You attract artsy people!
You attract rednecks!
You attract unstable people!

What Be Your Nerd Type? Your Result: Literature Nerd Does sitting by a nice cozy fire, with a cup of hot tea/chocolate, and a book you can read for hours even when your eyes grow red and dry and you look sort of scary sitting there with your insomniac appearance? Then you fit this category perfectly! You love the power of the written word and it's eloquence; and you may like to read/write poetry or novels. You contribute to the smart people of today's society, however you can probably be overly-critical of works. It's okay. I understand.

Heh. Loneliness can be my only option for sedation sometimes.

, 7:27 AM

i googled my name and Neville's blog came up.

Reading through his posts, i realize, yet again, how brilliant and wonderful he is.

I love reading his posts. :D

, 7:14 AM

i'm ~~a bit upset about something right now.~~

no, honestly, i'm feeling terrible. my mood's improving by the minute, but just now it was horrible. i didn't even realize that my eyes were wet. but i don't feel like talking about it, since someone almost literally told me to shut up about it, so i will.

all my friends are something special. as in, they have different impacts on me, and while some make huge, visible impacts, the others are extremely important as well, because it's like a dominoes effect.

if one domino doesn't drop... the others won't either. and yeah, i think i sound a bit random here.

the in-between parts are merely invisible, that's all. :)

Another After-SPM thing is the so-called 'love-life' aspect of my life.

Well, I'm very happy with dear Jesus! :D Heheheh.

Okay, I'll be serious. :)

I really, really want my next boyfriend to be the ultimate one. As in, no break-ups. Being my boyfriend is a one-way flight to marriage.

I don't take romance lightly.

And I don't think I view a boyfriend as a guy with whom I share a romantic period of time with, and then perhaps we break up and go our separate ways.

A boyfriend is not some "trial husband" for me either.

So, well, yes I think I'll certainly be a bit more open to this now that SPM is over.

Not really because of age, or exams, you know. It's more like, keeping a promise that I made a few years back. I'm free from that now. I wish him well, I wish him joy and I wish that he'll eventually find Jesus. :)

Because, let's face it. God is love. <3>

After SPM

AHH!

Unlike Daphne and Melissa, who blogged in detail about almost every exam they had, I was on a month-long hiatus. It felt like a total hit-and-run for every exam that I had. I don't want to think about it, I don't want to talk about it, let me just crash the exam and escape as fast as I can.

So, after 'hitting' so hard again and again (a particularly horrible hit was my Chemistry exam), I was running so hard away from all those that, right now, I don't really remember how I did for my exams. So, no SPM examination recounts here. :D Instead, let's look to the future!

*screams and dance the octopus dance*

Where's that long, long list of stuff I wanna do after SPM? I know it's somewhere in my blogs...

*digs*

FOUND IT!

Here's the list, with my new comments in blue:

1. Start working on my Art Portfolio.

(Yes! I will dig out my past art-stuff. One of my future projects will be helping Danial design his 'The Virus' characters.)

2. Start working on my novels.

(Very excited about this. Though I'm not sure if I can get myself published, but I have enough friends who support me to still wanna go ahead with this.)

3. Start sending articles to newpapers and magazines.

(Hm, not so sure about this one. I need 'contacts', it seems.)

4. Bug daddy for laptop.

(Not successful. Dad had just paid RM 5000 for our trip to Taiwan next March- which I didn't even agree to- and he's a bit worried about my driver's license as well.)

5. Get laptop.

(I'm thinking, not until next Easter. Or Christmas. Or maybe when I get a job because that's when I can pay for one.)

6. Camwhore with laptop.

(Please.)

7. Clean my iPod.

(Oh, yeah hor. Almost forgot this.)

8. Go for driving lessons.

(With Mel, Daph, and James? Next Saturday! :D Fee: Around RM1K)

9. Organize a picnic with friends.

(I WANT!! At the beach!! Guys, how's about it??? Think of the pictures we can take at sunset, omg!)

10. Bug daddy for camera.

(Mission: Success.)

11. Get camera.

(Got it.)

12. Take videos with camera and become vlogger like Nana.

(Not yet. Not until I get a laptop.)

13. Start working on my personal music album.

(Oh yeaaah baby. Girls, wanna jam? B) )

14. Watch Ouran Host Club.

(Not until I get my own set of Ouran Host Club ORIGINAL. But I guess... Sighs. Never meant to be laaah. :'( )

15. Buy Garth Nix's 'Keys to the Kingdom' series.

(Money problems. Sighs.)

16. Get a job.

(Solution to money problems!! I wanna work with Stan! But then, transportation problems. Sighs.)

17. Organize c.o.r.e.

(With Jinho around? Yeah right. We depend on him like we're a ship and he's the entire ship's bottom. Until he goes, no one will be up to the jobs like he is.)

18. Paint room.

(I have to make sure that I'm actually staying in the room for at least two more years before I invest in this. If I do, I wanna invite friends over to put their mark on my walls too! :D)

19. Start living minimalist life- donate/sell my stuff.

(In the process. Boy, my room looks so empty without all the tonnes of BOOKS and BOOKS.)

20. Stalk someone and blog about it.

(Any candidates? B) )

21. Photoshoot with friends at beach, school, seaports ect.

(YES. Have to arrange this carefully though, because we will need extremely transportable transportation. Will discuss this tomorrow during outing.)

22. Take pictures of all my belongings and blog about them one by one in a special blog.

(YES. I think I'll start soon. :D People are so nice, give me so, so nice stuff that I MUST blog about them!!)

23. Lose 5 kilograms.

(In process!! Without any exams haunting me, I find that I can actually resist food quite easily. *smirks*)

24. Take Grade 7 piano exam.

(Oh boy.)

25. Take up lessons for another instrument (drums/violin)

(Oh boy. Money problems again.)

26. Make friends with neighborhood kids.

(I already know Eugene, Julian, Benjamin and Lee Hong. My brother's playmates.)

27. Create own blog layouts.

(Oh boy. I don't think this will happen unless I get my own laptop.)

28. Write thank-you notes to teachers.

(Yes! :D Will wanna do this properly!)

29. Go out with Jeffrey (he's been bugging me about this.)

(Sorry about letting you down with the 1K dinner thing. :( After your exams, we go out, okay? :D This time I have no more excuses anyway. :P)

30. Go out with Nico (always tunda.)

(Have to contact him. That guy's been AWOL from my life since, like, long time ago.)

31. Start writing diary.

(YES!! Not in a public blog though. :) Diary as in, KEEP OUT, bwahaha.)

32. Buy Weekday Socks to wear (NO SHARING)

(YES!! But I need money first, though.)

33. Force myself to wear my retainers.

(Forcing in progress. Though I'm suspecting that it got bent or something, because when I wear it, it doesn't fit in properly.)

34. ~~LIFE camp.~~

(Thanks to Chinese exam, can't go. But it's okay... I think. They'd better not to laughing about inside jokes when they get home...)

35. Install the softwares Qay gave me for 16th birthday.

(Anyone interested? :) )

37. Write drama scripts.

(Yes! For next year's drama competition in school. I won't be taking part, but I'd like to provide the script...)

38. Design costumes for said drama scripts.

(Sounds fun. XD Loads of work, though.)

39. Design stage plans for said drama scripts.

(Loads of work here too; gotta get real creative.)

40. Buy Irish Coffee and drink.

(Have to wait till I'm eighteen lah. XD)

41. Cook own laksa.

(After I lose my five kilograms. Then we talk about this. See?? No appetite anymore when no more exams.)

42. Bake soft cookies.

(But this one I'm still interested. :D I wanna give them as x'mas gifts to people! I need recipe from Kavita, Kiren's sister. YUMMILICIOUS!)

43. Draw using my sidewalk chalk on nearby playground, basketball court, and jogging hill to take pictures.

(Have to check this out. I think I might get sued or something for this. Vandalism? But those are washable chalks! T__T)

44. Buy roller-blades and learn to blade.

(Unlikely. Sobs. But will work on this. (: )

45. Help Red Team to win the first place we never had.

(Problem is, they've created ORANGE and PURPLE houses as well for next year. And a few of our core Red Team members were sent off to the new Houses. Everything is reshuffled. Hm.)

46. Bug daddy for pendrive.

(Will start bugging tonight.)

47. Get pendrive.

(Wait for bugging success.)

48. Videotape mini-movies with friends to induce vomitting and intense sweating from viewers.

(:D Yes! But I need friends for this, hehe.)

49. Get my W300i back from daddy who always forgets about the poor thing.

(HE SAID CANNOT REPAIR!! NO!!!! I don't want a newer, better handphone, I want my W300i!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *infinite exclamation marks*)

55. Spend days in library.
