Random stuff that's happened in the past month.

This post will be about all the things I told you guys in school, but i'll be adding some pictures this time. Excuse the less-than-awesome quality. Ian's lenses are still unusable, and my dad still insists that it will "heal with time". D: Camera phone + normal digi cam shall have to suffice for now.

1) Birthday sleepover.
Not many photos, cause I didn't take out my cam alot during the time xD sabs has moar photos.
Main points:- Waited in boredom until Rach and Sabs arrived. Went for dinner, courtesy of Sabs' dad 8D free meal = awesome meal.



Haha we also took a picture of me holding the beer bottle. I wasn't actually drinking okay? D: but y'know, in case the picture brings up bad ideas xD pic is with sabs.

After dinner, went off to the night market to walk off the foodz and buy dvds. I bought my first cetak rompak dvd by myself :D and rach belanja'd me ice cream and a gibbitz (the thing I stick into my crocs). It was a Mr.Bean teddy bear.

Lost it 5 minutes later though. Damn it.

While waiting for Kelly to arrive, we went to check out Hard Rock hotel. (again, for me.)


At the beach, lolol. Both of them were actually pointing at the The Beatles statues, each somebody's boyfriend. ;0

After that, Kelly came and we hung out in the lobby. Best part of the day imo. xD AMOHS. Slept. Next day, woke up real early (Sabs' fault) ate breakfast at the hotel (courtesy of mom. Dw guys, she got a discount) so full so we walked it off by going to the kedai runcit opposite the hotel to buy my sandcastle kit and shorts for kelly 8D

Went to the beach, made an epic sand castle with no actual castle. Just a really big moat and some elephants + kura-kuras. Pics are with sabs rofl. Sabs fails @ sandcastle-building. Went swimming afterwards with an amoh mission (just me) and also went to the TEENS CLUB lololol to play pool and arcade games. After that, dropped off rach, sabs and kelly at CGL (just so that they can walk back to sabs' house) <-- before meep panics about cgl xD. Off to bukit merah. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. KL trip.
After bukit merah, my mom and I went to KL. She had this conference thingy going on, and I had to go cause dad wasn't home at the time too. Stayed at Piccolo hotel, which sucks btw. Nice decorations though.

Pictures of the room. As you can see, the theme is...underwater? And the bathroom is separated by the kitchen. As a matter of fact, there is no actual bathroom or kitchen. Just a shower next to the toilet, separated by a cabinet with a sink in it.

BUT the hotel was near this fancy mall = Pavillion mall. Where if you don't dress right, you don't belong there. Ate at Carls Jr. homg. RM 70 for 4 burgers and some chilli cheese fries. Totally worth it though. Burgers are HUGE.

Hahah that's Sierhan with a french fry 'stache.

Had a RM163 dinner that night. Expensive, but paid by the university. A lot of people didn't show up actually, so we had to call people to bring their families xD Although...some of the guests started arriving at 10 pm, when everything finished ;_; wth man.

Anyway, pic of the appetizer, main course and dessert.
Mama! Also bought this. Uhu! hu! mini cheese cups. Absolutely yummy. And they have different flavours too. Only in KL, I guess. /sigh

After the conference the next day, we headed home. I stole the flowers from the conference hall, they were going to throw them away anyway. What a waste D<

This is actually little compared to what my mom's friends took xD

Stopped at IKEA on the way back rofl. Look! I found the Billy bookcases :D


They look good man xD

3) The snake.
A few days ago when I skipped school and stayed home, I found a snake. I went to the side of the house to get the kittens, because I wanted to clean their eyes. That was when I found the snake, slithering away in the mini longkang. =_= What luck for the kittens actually, since they usually like to sleep in the mini longkang, right where the snake passed through. They were, however, under the box I gave them. For once.

I was panicking cause it was a freaking huge snake. And it had a fat belly too, probably just ate something. Went to the back of teh house. I quickly went inside and called my dad xD with a shaky voice lolol. Fortunately my next door neighbour just came home then, so I asked for his help. He took one of his golf clubs and started poking the snake D: I gave him a whole jug of hot water and he poured it on the snake (I did feel sorry for it at this point, I didn't want to kill it initially, just throw it somewhere else. What to do? Al-fatihah) The jug didn't do anything to it, besides making it angrier. It opened up and started hissing xD omg the stupid cats were getting closer to it. I had to pull them away before the snake bit them.

My neighbour smashed the head, to make sure it's dead. Then we poured more hot water on it. It was..pretty dead by then. Pic 4 u.


Poor thing. But my kittens > snake.

4) SPM
So far, 4 subjects down, 7 more to go. Week 1 of SPM. Haven't gone crazy yet. What my room currently looks like after only 3 days of SPM:

What a shame that the first time you guys see a part of my room, it has to look like this xD you can spot the sandcastle kit next to the clavi 8D
ONE VAIN PICTURE I'M SORRY I just wanted to point out my eyebags.

Although...not too bad for 2:28 in the morning xD

Well, that's it. Sorry for having so many pictures xD I r satisfied now.

Nope.

Adilla and I shared a similar childhood+life. We both used to live in England for a few years when we were smaller, our parents both work in USM, we both love art, we both don't live on the Island and we both travel around a lot.

We were talking about this a few days ago. About how people never understood our schedule. How people consider us lucky and fortunate and pampered, because we get to travel to many places, free of charge and that we get to skip school a lot. I agree that we are both indeed, very fortunate. But most of the time, it's not a very fun life.

Our life revolves around our parents' work. If they have to go outstation, we have to follow them. Note: have to. Because no one can take care of us at home. No one can send us to school, especially when you live around 40 km away from school |:

Of course, trips are always fun. Well, used to be. Back when we were younger, a swimming pool and arcade would suffice for us kids. Now that we're older, they don't. We have to sit in a car/bus for hours on end, not actually able to do anything besides sleep and listen to music (in my case, lol. I can't read in the car anymore, I get headaches). We have to leave our friends/responsibilities/lessons in school because our parents have to work. And when you miss a lot of lessons, it's not fun having to catch up by yourself.

Then when we arrive at our destination, we check in, talk to our parents for like half an hour, and they're off. Leaving us in the hotel room. They'll call every few hours/come back to bring us food. We only see them again at night. After all, they're there to work. When I was smaller I couldn't go anywhere without my parents, so I just sat in the room.

And we rarely get to go for outings because we live so far from the malls our friends go to. Also sometimes, we just want to spend the weekend at home. We rarely get to stay at home. I remember a time when we had to leave the house at 6:30 am sharp, and only come back later at night around 7/8 pm. By 10 we were already in bed. That's like..2-3 hours max of home time.

I know I skip school a lot. When I'm forced to leave Penang for a few days, I get left behind in school. Eventually I get tired of not understanding lessons and I just continue to skip because I started hating lessons. I get annoyed when I come back to school after a trip, and people tell me how lucky I was to be able to skip school and stay at a hotel while they were stuck in a classroom doing work. "FINALLY, you're back".

It also gets tougher trying to explain to the teacher why you're absent. My parents get tired too, and sometimes want the day off. They want to sleep in and rest and spend some time at home too. If they send me to school, which is an hour away, they have to stay in Penang until I finish school.

But I guess, a life like that isn't so bad. You just have to understand that it comes with a price.

/end rant

Career options.

A phone conversation between my grandfather and I.

Atuk: Cita-cita alisa nak jadi apa?
Me: Taktau lagi la tuk, rasa cam nak jadi pastry chef. Suka baking.
Atuk: Haih! Adaaa ke nak jadi tukang masak. Kenapa tak ikut macam pak usu kamu tu, jadi engineer.
Me:...takmau la atuk. Science subjects alisa pun bukannya dapat score sangat.
Atuk: Kalau tak mau engineering, architecture pun elok jugak.
Me: bukan architecture kena pandai maths ke?
Atuk: yelah
Me: Tak nak la...kena jugak ke ikut cakap atuk? Atuk tak kasi option pun?




Atuk: Option la tu, architecture atau engineering. Pilih la mana yang nak.

Random cause I need to go study after this.

I really don't want to go to matrikulasi. I can't imagine myself being surrounded by people who won't get my jokes (most of which refer to movies or songs) because the only movies they watch are remp-it and kl drift, or people who won't be able to give any witty/sarcastic replies to issues like Obama getting the nobel peace prize or Kanye West upstaging Taylor Swift.

Also, isn't it kind of ironic to call white people "mat salleh's" when in fact Mat Salleh spent years fighting white people (or more specifically, the brits)? I sort of lol'd when I realized this. I'm slow, I know.

11 days to spm. So close. 31 days to the end of school uniforms, heavy school bags and Pak Ali's nasi lemak. Bittersweet feeling.

Mom mentioned some sort of promosi that involves going to a university in Oakland at a cheap price. I was excited, so I googled oakland university, california.

First few images that came up were pics of this guy that looks like he was beaten up pretty badly.

11 days left
but spm is not the end of the world, it's not do or die, I think my own brother could be the best example and living proof of this.
