Life’s been quiet nowadays, what’s with prom done and I’m waiting for my ‘L’. Bob’s in Singapore, Imp backpacking in Australia, and Ee in Johor/ Sg so yeah, life’s kinda lonely.

On the plus side, I know I should be skipping with joy now that I’m about to start college! I should be ecstatic my New Year’s shopping will be done soon! I should be excited I’m gonna have my virgin ears pierced (finally)!

Well, I am. But its not over the top joy :/

I hate to say it so soon, but I miss my friends! :O

Yes, I have other friends but these 3 are like, my bros and sis. I need someone to talk to, to laugh with, to just be there..

Especially since emotionally, I’m not doing fine.

I owe all of these nonsense to my PMSing tho -.-‘

But yeah, I just miss them :(

Come back soon! :’(

Someone stop me!! :O

You know, I expected my holiday to be filled with relaxation. Lazing around, eating lots, sleeping, hanging out with friends.. The usual stuff, no?

I didn’t expect to :

* fall sick
* be given a task I thought people forgot about
* run around trying to accomplish it while feeling sick
* volunteer to help someone out
* end up exhausted from the work load given

But hey, lookie the bright side… I’m cured of my food poisoning! :D:D

I’ve been busy with prom stuff mostly. I volunteered to help with door gifts, and well, there were certain problems with it.. Ohhhhh, I just got an sms from Jiunn Jie. Hallelujah, I’m saved! Ok so lets skip this part, problem solved :)

I heard this girl needed help with deco, so kinda pitying her I volunteered my help. She needed help with the stage deco, and tho it may not look tiresome...it really is. Had to check out the hall, discuss and plan stuff, and of course, perform the plan. Tho I don’t really mind, but having to open my house doors to be the workplace is a drag. Especially for my bro, cause he wants to practice and its kinda disturbing him :/

I’ve started my driving classes too. The lecture was….boring. I went with Bob, Ee couldn’t make it and he was given wrong info from the clerk. Me, forgetting the rule, wore slippers which I had to pay RM10 for. Wtf??? We met a new friend tho, Marian. She’s cool :D But she spotted a few girls in slippers too who weren’t stopped by the workers… $&#$^#@$)!

On a lighter note, I’ve finally received my offer letter from


:P:P:P:D:D:D

Orientation day is on the 5th. Can’t wait wehhhh :)

Overall, I’m quite worried about my schedule. I know college would be hectic, and I should appreciate my free time now. But so far,

* 1 week is gone.
* I’d not a single work free day
* My schedule is planned for next week
* Which leaves me with the final week before OD free

I’m scared I won’t be free then too. I wish I am tho… I really wanna slow down and smell the flowers! Sadly most of my friends won’t be around during that time. I really missed out a lot, didn’t I?

I’m still grateful to have spent time with people tho busy. Ishaq, Wendy, Sofiah, Ee Leng, Jun Ren and of course, BOB! I owe him a great deal, he’s a true friend to me :3

Sayonara! I need to enjoy my 30 mins of freedom before I start work on deco stuff again. Hagrid is teaching about Blasted End Skewts, and I wouldn’t want to miss out on Harry’s first Defence Against the Dark Arts class with Moody!

:P

Red Riding Hood.. My version :D

| 12 December 2010 | 0 comments |
Before I begin, I wanna say sorry for changing the storyline of Red Riding Hood.. So instead, my character is named Blue Riding Hood! :D

Blue Riding Hood went to visit grandpa.
On the way she met a pig.
Piggy asked, 'Where are you going, Blue Riding Hood?'
She said 'Oh, to visit grandpa of course! But dear me, I seem to have forgotten to bring his meal along... I suppose I will have to find berries along the way!'
The pig, now in a thoughtful trance, rushed to grandpa's house.
He sneaked into the kitchen, brought up the big pot and filled it with water from the well.
He boiled the water, added in turnips,carrots, salt, garlic and rosemary,
obviously getting ready for a feast.
When Blue Riding Hood finally arrived, he quickly dressed up as grandpa.
'Come in Blue Riding Hood, grandpa can't see you with his poor vision, come closer! I'm in the kitchen'.
She went into the kitchen and got a shock.
'Grandpa! Your tummy! It looks bloated, what has happened??'
'Grandpa has a bad case of indigestion my dear, could you please cook up this broth for me as my remedy?'
'But grandpa, there are only vegetables in here. Where's the meat stock?'
Piggy revealed himself and said, 'Here it is,' and threw himself into the pot.

The end.
Alvin asked me for a bedtime story, so I conjured this up for fun. Hehehehe. I was too lazy to blog about something else, so yeah :)
Sorry its not halal too!

Stress?

| 17 November 2010 | 0 comments |
I dunno if it’s stress induced or whatever, but..

Like Bob said, I’m a different Maddie in school and at home.

Its so complicated yet simple, I wanna laugh wei.

There’s a long story to it, and a short chapter to explain this.

Its one of those situations where death seems like an easier way out, but I wanna live through it ‘cause its not worth my life.

You try to find a way around it, but its impossible yet possible.

Sometimes it’s worst, sometimes better.

But then when you think its finally getting better, it turns upside down.

You try to fix things, but it ends up falling apart even before you’ve started.

Life gives you false hopes sometimes and you hate it but.. You just can’t help but hope for the better.

Even if it hurts you badly..


I wanna be the real me, why can’t I?

I wanna show the true me, but I can’t ‘cause without the barrier, I’d be lost.

……

Do you understand what I’ve typed so far?

Nope.

I don’t expect you to.

I’m just…sorely tired.

More drawings :)

So I’ve finally finished it.

2 weeks :)

Plus all my procrastination.. Hehe.

Actually it took me only 3 days (I think?)

But hey, I’m finally done with my college requirements thingy.

I’m way proud of this than my portrait drawing, which is obvious I screwed it up. Oh well.


;D

Still-life drawing, here I come!

Baby smiles!

I decided to blog ‘cause.. I want to?

:)

People handle their SPM stress by studying 24/7, pulling their hair, snapping at people. And tho I’ve finally joined them (minus the 4 and 7 in 24/7, and the latter), I guess my stress took in the strangest form ever.

I’ve been having dreams.

No, not me failing SPM dreams.

Not dreams of me getting murdered by my parents either.

I dreamt…. Of my CHILDREN.

WTH.

I believe I’ve 2 daughters, or a daughter and son..

2 nights ago, I dreamt of my teenage daughter, we were hugging ‘cause of some horrific incident.

Hella horrific wei, imagine a haunted house with a girl haunting you over and over.

Then last night, I dreamt of a baby guy/girl with thick short loose curls. And best part is, it’s a good baby, rarely cries and smiles like an angel.

:D

I dunno la. Weird.

I’ve been thinking, all these weird dreams, do they really mean something?

Or is it normal for ‘creative’ people to dream such dreams?



You Are Wild



You're so outrageous it's intoxicating. You definitely live big.

You are unpredictable and kooky. You love to take risks and use your imagination.



You're a complex person with many layers. No one can figure you out... including yourself.

You live a chaotic, colorful life, but there is also some structure to it. There's a method to your madness!



And since I want 3 children… I’ve a feeling tonight will be my 3rd child.

Gasp!

Oh, happy day!

What if…

You cut yourself accidentally.

You missed your favourite episode of Desperate Housewives.

You found out you have cancer.

You had to give up your entire life support to live a memorable moment?

Cliché much? I know :D

Remember that scene in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, where he remarked about the ‘Ifs’? The ‘what if :the taxi driver had not stopped for coffee/the girl had not broken up with her bf/the lady had gotten into the taxi earlier’ scene? How if any one of it had turned otherwise, the girl would’ve not been hit by the taxi? *I know,tragic eh? Goes to show taxi drivers are scary!*

Thinking about life, I have always wondered how things would’ve turned out if the decisions I made were completely different.

One of it was; what if I hadn’t moved to Samad? What if I had remained in Taman SEA?

I would have met different friends, gained different knowledge, joined different clubs, and most of all, grew differently from what I am now. Would I have achieved great things there? Would I have met better people there? Would I still pursue my current dreams, if I remained there?

Would I be a better person?

Honestly, I don’t really care. I’m grateful for being in Samad. Full stop.

After all, when life gives lemon, make lemonade right?

My point is,

If I had not not noticed my grandpa earlier in school.

If the annoying office people hadn’t crowd in front of the fruit stall.

If any one of my food orders were late.

If the traffic lights had been a few seconds late.

If any one of these had not or had been late/earlier to happen.

…………

I wouldn’t have had a glimpse of him.

:)

Grateful like MAD! ;D

You Should Have Two Kids


You can definitely manage a small family, and having kids is one of your major goals.

That being said, having kids is not all you want to do. Two is a perfect number for you!

You want to make sure your children have the best upbringing possible, but you still want to live a balanced life.

Having two kids will leave you just enough time and money to do the things you want to do for yourself and your family.



YAP EE LENG! You should be taking this test. And Bob too.

:D



Sosososososo.. I got a few unexpected results for trials.

A : Eng, Art, Moral
A- : BM (wheeeeeeeee)
D : Bio, Sej (double wheeeeeeee!)
FAIL!!!! : Mod maths (expected)

I expected the fail, but 3As and A- for BM? Kewwwwl. I even passed those two subs. Hahahahahahahahhahahaha.

Thank you Pn Fadzilah and Pn Bong! Tqtqtqtqtqtqtq! :D

I’ll seriously study to get decent marks for your subs! :3

Mod maths and physics a diff matter…. LOL! Ok la, I’ll get a C for it k? It’d seriously be really high considering my abilities.. :X

You know, I never actually gave much thought why I started to enjoy Korean music. I was anti-ing it at first. OMG. Am I down with Korean fever?!??!?!

Gasp!

Gasp!

Gasp!

..
...
....
.....

No.

I enjoy songs with a good beat AND have meaningful lyrics. Somehow I find Korean music has a unique tone to it. I even tried watching a Korean drama.

It was too drama for me.

Girl cry, guy cry, side girl and guy cry. Sister cry. Mum cry. Everyone cry. And a happy ending. Coffee Prince is fantastic but its just too much drama. But its NICE! Don’t get me wrong ;P

I doubt I wanna end up like Krystle – sorry gurl! But so far I don’t like any Korean dudes, nor find any that’s… Er… Man enough? X]

Lee Seung Gi looks ok tho. Don’t slaughter me! :O

But but…


Tae Yang! He’s got 6 packs you know, and he’s a *somewhat* shy and *man* guy :D I like guys like these :P:P
FYL, that doesn’t mean I’m obsessed like you…

Kim Jong Wook! I know, so doesn’t suit me. But I dunno, I like his style? I’m still a girl you know :X
And and and, his song, Only You, really stole my heart.

Ah! Listen to it please!












Only you can make me smile.
Only you can wrap me in your arms.
Only you, only you shine brighter than a jewel.
You're brighter than a sunshine
Your mind is wider than a sea.

Only you, only you make me live
I passed by the farthest stars to meet you.
I must have come too far

I want to love you as one, just like that warm sunset.
Give me your heart that never dies.
Even if I gave you my poor love,
You gave me even more love
Only you, only you can give me happiness
Your eyes are twinkling just like a star
Your lips, your two hands, you don't have any place to hate.
We're starting to become alike, it must be happiness.


Such sweet lyrics… If my bf can sing that to me, I’ll elope with him to Hawaii and get married at the beach in a bikini with a sunset background behind us :D:D:D:D

Kim Jong Wook! Kimg Jong Wook! x3

Tae Yang! Tae Yang! x3

But really, I’m not obsessed.









Life at its best =)

Wow, my blogging mood is high today. It’s a miracle =D

Not really. I’m just trying to burn off my 10 minutes before True Blood starts. Hehehe.

So, I made a remarkable discovery today.

Did you know Earth has 365 days?

Each week has 7 days.

A minute has 60 seconds?

1 second just passed.

And did you know, its now October.

Which means = SPM is 7 weeks away.

Deng deng denggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Seriously, I didn’t realize it. I’m really such a pitiful SPM candidate x]

Pitiful as in I suck like mad.

No studying, no stress, just enjoying life to its fullest. I mean, why give yourself an opportunity to look old with your wrinkles and white hair? Just be cool and don’t worry to much, right?

I spent the whole day in school chatting with friends, teasing each other, gossiping, the usual stuff.

And that, is the best part of it all.

=)

Ideas pop out of nowhere!

| 10 October 2010 | 0 comments |
I’m gonna be random here, so bear with me!

Nowadays I’ve been getting interesting ideas for a manga. Weird that such things happen during exams..

This is the recent one, and the only one I can remember so far. Fun fact : Thought about it when I was showering :D

So imagine you died, and you’re walking towards the light that leads to reincarnation. However, you saw this other path and walked towards it. You wake up with wires connected around you. Turns out the earth is undergoing a ‘healing’ process and humans are preserved in pods until the earth is healed. The human mind is kept alive with them living in a virtual world like the current one we’re living in. And each day in the ‘world’ is merely 10 seconds in the real one, so each soul undergoes reincarnation multiple times. So the 'world' begins to evolve, the humans thinking they can do it all over again, save their 'world' from destruction.. But can they?
© MaddieTSL

Just so ya know, I want this storyline to be mine x]

And this is the idea you get from playing a game like .hack//GU :P

My essay for English paper is worst. I guess you can say, its waaaaay off topic (in a way). Hope teacher is open minded tho.

What? You give me a word ‘Fire’ and expect me to write an essay. You think I’ll want to tell you it needs O2 and releases CO2, or that it causes destruction or it reacts to fart and other obvious details?? Wait till I get my paper back, then I’ll post it here :D

Weirdly enough, I feel melancholic. Banyak people coupling, I tengok pun jealous…

………….

Don’t believe me? Phineeeeeee~

FYI! I’m even jealous of my bunnies, who stick so close together and nampak so loving, and they’re both GIRLS!

ILY Bunny, take care :')

| 16 September 2010 | 0 comments |


Yesterday, watching Marley and Me left me feeling loving. I snuggled her in my arms, eventho she was lying by her side, unable to stand up like when she used to. I didn’t care. I still love her. I fed her with bits of veg, stroking her, tickling her chin. I smiled when she licked me, now a rarity eversince she came back from the clinic. I kissed her saying ‘I love you..’. And I left to do my own things like normal.

And then, she’s gone.

GONE.

My rabbit… My Bunny… She’s gone..

Why didn’t I wake up earlier? Why didn’t I check up on her more last night? Why did I effing miss the chance?

Now she’s gone.

And I’m crying… I want her back. Please?

Grandma woke me up, told me Bunny made a weird noise. I grumbled as she does this sometimes. When I touched Bunny, an intense shock went through my body. Her body was stiff. She didn’t respond. I checked for a pulse and…

Nothing.

OMG… I don’t believe it!

I kept touching her, thinking she’d raise her head and greet me like she always did. Wishing that I’d see her chest rise and fall, indicating breathing. Nothing.

Walking towards my room, my mind was blank. Shocked. And when I passed my bro, then only thing I thought necessary to say was; Bunny is dead.

Then I cried.

Was it because of me? She was fine before I had to admit her in the clinic. She couldn’t eat, drink or act normally. But doctor said she’s fine, its just the diet problem. When I brought her back, she couldn’t even stand. I cried silently looking at her.

But her health gradually became better. She ate more, she could stand a lil better. Overall getting better..

So why did you have to leave so sudden?

Grandma said she emitted a loud cry before I came down. Did she suffer before passing?

Did she have a good life being my pet?

I’m so sorry Bunny… I’m so sorry…

Please forgive me..

I’ll always love you, no matter what.

These tears? It can’t stop when I think about you. Or when I look at your photos. Nor when we buried you.

Doctors said you’ve lived a long life, 8 years is long for a rabbit. I hoped you do not regret being with me..

Rest In Peace my friend..

Bunny : 8.2002 – 16.9.2010
2008
2003 :


2009


2010









These were taken yesterday… You can see how sickly she looked like..

And this is exactly the pose she had on when I found her this morning..

The future for the moment, seems bleak

| 08 September 2010 | 0 comments |
Here I am, sipping orange juice while thinking of what to blog about.

But since I know what I’m gonna type, what the heck =D

I’ve been doing lots of thinking lately, mostly focused on my future;

College.

Screw trials I say! Nothing seems to motivate me more to live through SPM except entering the One Academy x]

I have not studied for real, unlike my fellow Form 5 counterparts who, at least, are super duper worried about it.

I guess I’ll finally crack when the time comes eh? For now, I’ll just remain at this pace =)

So, college… I’ve been asking Cheryl lately about it, and being my usual worried self, I asked her loads of questions. Most concerning questions of all, the most glorious and intriguing but deadly (yes deadly!! >=D ) question of all is……

*drums roll*

*rolling*

* rolling*

…………

January or March?

AHAH. Potong stim. AHAH. *lame*

I’m referring to the intake of course.

Now being my over-indulging self, I would of course want to take January as I really can’t wait to learn more about my one and only talent. Starting early too gives me advantage to complete my studies sooner.

On the other hand, I only have 3 weeks rest before starting college if I choose Jan. And if I wanna work, March is the best pick.

I’m really worried tho. I’ve heard from Cheryl that people drop out cuz:

1) They can’t take the stress.

2) They find out art isn’t what they want.

I’m really scared outta my skin!

*Bless my skin,fyi! Without it I’d be the skeleton you see hanging on a rod in your Bio lab!*

These questions have been pounding on my head recently…

I’m an avid procrastinator. And I prefer doing stuff according to my mood. With the amount of assignments and obligations they have, can I cope with the work given? And if I can, will I do a good one at that?

What if I DO find out that particular field isn’t my thing? I’ll be lost!

Also, will I give up if I find out there are people way superior than me, and my progress seems weak besides their’s?

I’m bloody hell scared.

YIKES!

But then again, I should focus on trials first..

And based on my post’s title? Yea, I’m somewhat doomed in trials. Probably getting only an A for Eng, and a mere pass for others (if I’m lucky)!

Oishhhh, headache betul. But for now, I’m hungry! Maggi, here I comeeeeeeeeeeee~~! Wheeeeeeeee!

Thanks to all who have nagged me to update my very lonely sesat blog! Without ya guys, it’d be super dead. Hehehe!

Kiwi!

Going, going.... Gone

| 17 June 2010 | 0 comments |
Sooooooo… I’ve finished packing already.

Note that I can actually fit all my junk into the smaller bag, and the big luggage is meant for all my bro’s junk… Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I’ve given my dog a good scrub before leaving.

I’ve given my bunny a good scrub before leaving.

I’ve put on my 80% cotton jacket which I hope its enough.

And….. I’M SO GODDAMN NOT READY.

I dunno why but I don’t feel much excitement towards this trip. Weird eh? A once in a lifetime trip and I don’t feel anything. N.O.T.H.I.N.G.

Maybe its cuz I didn’t managed to submit my entry for the One Academy scholarship contest… T.T

Maybe cuz I’ve not done my art project…

Maybe cuz I’ll miss my net, friends, bunny, doggie, grandparents…

Maybe cuz I takut kena robbed, hypothermia( its 12C there and its summer! Wth!??!?!?! ) and the plane might crash ( choi choi choi! ) and wow, I’ve 4 flights to take… Eeeeeek. Time to pray =/

Oh well…

I just wanna say, I love y’all and I wish y’all the best and erm… Pray for me kay? =D

Love you guys!

CY kor, take note! I’m off to Russia now!

Ciao!

Oh, and this happened dinner last night. Nothing much, but I really geli hati when it happened..

Dad : Eh, today ah I saw someone wearing sunglasses you know. I thought who was it ah??

Uncle : Yalah, I also saw. I didn’t even recognize who is that.

Dad : And then she took off her sunglasses… WAH! Turned out to be Leng! Summore slide the glasses onto her head, like so cool.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha by everyone except me.

Dad : Good la. Her mother was worried you know. She was telling me last week she was worried you would be a tomboy. She always wear those pants and after scout meetings she act like guy with T-shirt and all. But then I say, see now wear nail polish, wear dress, put make up, now she’s a girl la.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha by everyone except me.

Mum : Neeeeeeeeh, she last time used to wear dress ma. Then suddenly Aunty Li Li asked ‘Why you don’t wear pants??’ then suddenly stop wearing dress and wear pants.

Aunt : Yala, I was damn worried you know. Last time we went out with her we saw her in, what’s that you call it? Cargo pants. And T-shirts. I said to Ah Teoh (my uncle); Wah, this is a guy man!

Hahahahaha……..

So this was what my parents talk about behind my back la????

And this is what my family talk about infront of me la????

……….

Holiday!

| 04 June 2010 | 0 comments |
Its here its here! No more exams for now!! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Come on, it’ll be the last holiday and time I can enjoy before trials and SPM, cut me some slack here!

I guess I’m intrigue with the Russian trip? Been learning new words, hopefully I remember them during times of need..

So I took quizzes just now, and here’s what I got;

You Are Impulsive

More than anything else, you crave freedom in your life. You have to be able to do what you want.
You are stubborn and independent. You don't take no for an answer.

You like to live in the moment, and you tend to be a pretty big thrill seeker.
You are easy going unless you are challenged. You are flexible until you're not.

Your Best Trait is Confidence
You are the type of person who just goes for it. Whether you win or lose, you're always happiest when you at least tried.
You are fearless when it comes to failure. You have learned that the key to life is just showing up, so you're always there bright and early.

While you are always doing your best, you have had to let go of what others think of you. You define your own success.
You may disappoint yourself or look stupid sometimes, but you always hold your head high. You know that tomorrow will give you another opportunity to try again.

I beg to differ… Confidence???

Heck, I can barely look at a guy I like without having blood rushing to my face or even actually looking at him!

Bob, I still think you’re wrong. LOL.

But besides that, the ‘I don’t care’ and ‘Just do it’ part I likey ;D

Gosh.

It’d be so cool if I can now have a glass of wine, with a splash of friends, $$, hot guy and whoa, perfect. Yeaaaaaaah.

I heard they’ll be selecting for NS soon. Yikes.

In a way, I don’t wanna go cuz it clashes with my plans and especially college.

On the other hand, it’s good experience and who knows, I might score a few numbers, no? x]

New friends ma!

Citrawarna '10

| 30 May 2010 | 0 comments |
I know I’m probably the last person to blog about it but heck, better late than never right? =D

Let’s start from the top.


Bear with me for the first few 700 words or so…


Citrawarna is like this big event thingy they have every year it seems, for tourism purposes. This year my school was selected, how lucky are we?

I joined it cuz most of my classmates were. The Form 4s were compulsory to join it, and the other forms except Form 3 were welcomed. We had practices for 5 weeks starting from mid April which were held in the school hall and sometimes, basketball court.

Trainers for the event visited usThe steps were simple but heck, discipline memang teruk. Typical Samadians -.-‘ Kesian Abang Eddie the most wei! Well, at least we made it through… Oh, and we learnt Dikir Barat on the 4th week.

For us Form 5s who participated, we had to take our exams via school level instead cuz they takut soalan bocor to us and all. Imagine spending your Saturday doing Eng, BM and Mod Maths papers.. Ishhhh betul! LOL.

I dunno why, but the formation of the steps kept changing. Believe it or not, we learnt the new formation 2 days before the actual practice with other schools. On Friday they told us we’ve to change it. WhaaaaAaaAt?!? So they told us to stay back on Monday from 12.30 till 6 to learn it. Damnnn.

They needed 160 people, and we were divided into a few parts; dancers and props. For props, these people will have to hold frames, boxes, shopping bags, and all except the ones holding frames have to dance too, but not the complete dance.

We spent 3 days in PWTC, from 8 to 6 AND skipping school in the process.. Wheeeeeeee =D

There were a few themes; Borneo, Beaches, Food, etc. My school’s was Mega Sales. Woot. And double the luck, we were the center school while the schools performing beside us was Catholic High and Taman Medan. Cool eh? Right infront of VVIP.. Get to say high to the Agong! xP

We didn’t have any air-cond during our first 2 days there. Damnnn stuffy there, had to wipe off our sweat every minute. 3rd day it was on tho, why le? Cuz our dear minister of tourism was visiting, so surely got lah!! -.-‘

On the 3rd day, we got our Ts (its pink, mind you) which was multi coloured to indicate what theme you’re in. Of all colours, why pink eh? Size also only got Ms and XLs.. Sadly Mada and I got XL, and had to use pins to make it look fitting. Bob and Szi Wei couldn’t fit into theirs. Pak Ngah (the head of us dancing teams) designed it I think, cuz, well, printed on the right-most top is Pak Ngah production -.-
Next time I should design a T and add Maddie's production.. Sounds nice, no? Hehehehe.

Fyi: I dunno how many schools were performing, but I think there was 12 or more? Istana Budaya people were there too. Very nice le their dance!

On the day before the event, we had to rehearse in the actual venue, aka Dataran Merdeka. We spent about 5 hours putting on make up and tying our hair in school (boys had to put them on too!). Our teachers did this, cuz we’ve to have standard dos.

Our hairdo is supposed to look sleek and neat, so they used LOTS of gel and pins and hairbands, so guys had their hair in a 70s updo and us girls had it pulled back into plaits or ponytails. I swear, the amount gel used could kill.. Our hair was so stiff, it can act as spikes edi -.-

Took a photo in scouts den... I look so scary =O Ishaq look so....Ishaq? Bazil, Xin You and Tzen Ren look like 80s gentlemen, dunno what to comment about Mada... More girly? xD


When we arrived there, we kinda lepaked for 2 hours, had our dinner at 5.30 before we were called to get our costumes. COSTUMES. WHEEEEEEEEEEE. Everyone was excited to see how’d it look like. I mean, isn’t that the best part? =D

So us girl dancers got them first. Ooooo, it looked ok, ermmm but tights? Not so hot cuz of the colours but heck, it SHOULD look great.

WRongggggggg.

It looked so wronggggg. Seriously…

Imagine a tiger stripped black+purple top that’s triangular cut, big, with orange/red/blue/yellow tights.

There were a few lucky girls who got the zebra stripped top with BELTS which made it look better (tho like a bathrobe) but for us unlucky ones.. Yikes! Plus it was kinda low cut, so we had no choice but to wear our pink T inside and it outside. It looked horrendous..

The others attires were ok tho. Guys one looks nice! But some looked kinda gay abit la. But heck, its better than what we had =( Even Catholic had better version of ours.. Dammit.


Catholics!

We started rehearsing after that, first our Dikir Barat, then dancing. We actually had to dance at 3 venues so yea, gotta parade around. Actually not parade, more like walking and waving from one site to another.

Honestly, I kinda disliked this. Why? Cuz people were thirsty and whenever there was water around they would rush like wild animals and some so selfishly drank many rounds of water without thinking of others. Really… Kinda stupid la seeing this -.-‘

What else… We went back at 12.10. Also had a mini ‘lecture’ from Datin Ng Yen Yen. Hmmm… A car’s tire rolled over Bob’s foot (ouch…). Errr errr.. Oh ya, I got injured. Wanna know the story? Well, if you’re reading this then you have to cuz me gonna type it out nyways x]

So they told us to run cuz we were late to one of the sites. Bad lighting and all, packed with running people… And I fell. Kinda cool cuz I fell, half rolled, got up right away and kept running (takut kena run over by ppl ma). Its also somewhat cool that a girl fell right after I got up and Daniel also fell. All cuz of a piece of wood that was placed to keep multiple wires intact. ****!

Was kinda worried cuz there was a hole in my tights at my right knee. Had to stitch it up. Sigh. At first I thought I wasn’t badly hurt, just a small bruise on my knees and very small wounds on my hands. That was until….


IKAN! There was blood on my tights at my left knee. FISH. My right knee wound was 1cm under the hole, that’s why tak nampak. Argh. Funny tho that the left wound was worst and the lubang was on the right. Hmph. Big wound le… Looked gruesome. Thank God the wounds were balanced, aka wouldn’t affect my kneeling during dance. Phew…



My handphone's 3.2 pixel camera sucks, but i guarantee it was x2 worst than this photo..

Next day, actual event! Oh gosh the adrenaline. We were pumped, and its cuz we were allowed to accessorize, do whatever we want with our hair (no gel!) and ‘fix’ our tops with belts. We were in school since 11.30 doing our make up, yet again, and it ended at 4.20.. Aiks.

Our make up (girls) was more than the day before and it kinda made us look… more like Chow Kit material? Or maybe it only applies to me.. Boys had to wear eyeliner and lipstick and blush O.O Ishaq look so dollish in make up wei, esp with the lipstick! xD Daniel looked the same, foundation and eyeliner didn’t work on him -.-‘

*he's 'black' ma, what to do...anyone got bleach? *

Joking Dan!


Teacher putting on our make up


We went straight to our first dancing venue, which was nearby Sogo. We had our dinner and lepaked on the sidewalks from 5.40 till 8.00. At 8, we grouped up and got into our positions. 8.30 it started..



Poser! xD


Aaaw, they look so pretty! Tharini is beyond recognisation!


Posing before the dance started.

The no on my hand is to count how many participated in Dikir Barat =D

Too bad I lost it in the heat of the moment.. Ciplak! I mean the band holding the no, not me. Lols.

So came our turn to dance. Yeahh, it looked great until…

Damn.

Can’t see our numberings.

Just so you know, we were assigned to numbers so we would be in position at all times. But cuz the crowd was too forward, they covered it up and… Oh crap.

Ahhhhh! Nvm. Have to agak-agak, cuz music started jor.



Shau Yuan, Donovan, Ish.. Look so weird, but their dancing O.o

So first venue… DONE! But we screwed up our positions big time cuz it was too compact. Nvmmm. Next stop; Dataran Merdeka! The important place of all!!

We got there and…. BAM! With smiles plastered on our faces, we danced like we’ve never danced before. LOL. Of course ma, I mean there were cameras there to record our lovely faces on live tv…

Ee Leng, Ishaq was on TV!! Wooooooooooooot! Ishaq’s the best I heard, cuz he got the full screen to himself. Dammmmit. You should’ve seen his face when people told him that -.-

I dunno why we didn’t go to our 3rd venue, but anyways we went back to DM for our Dikir Barat, last performance and to partayyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Well, their version of party is dance to multiple traditional music.. So yea, we danced from 11 to 12. Tired sial but had to dance.


Dikir Barat~ FYI, an estimated 4k people participated (i think...cuz i found no 4***) and we broke the Malaysia book of records in DB. Yay?


Saying bye to the Agong~ Lookie our trainers! Both also wear black caps -.-

*Clueless people*


Tourists were also invited to dance with us, and there was this couple that danced with us the whole time. Damn sporting, and the girl danced really good! Haha! We took photos with tourists also, and of course, many rushed to where the camera was to appear on the big screen infront. A few Samadians were on the stage where artistes were singing too. Damnnnnn funny to see them there x]


Dunno what they doing here la..


Dance dance dance… Photos photos photos. Saw Aaron, Afiq there too. Pn Kokilam also went, and on Monday our HM said she went too via KTM. LOL! Really a? Damn cool wei. Haha!


Istana Budaya people! =) They look so colourful

Jacie! Where's your hot-gay guy??

Ee Leng had to go back early tho, sadly =/

So I was left to party with Bob and all. Very fun tho. Bob with his plant tail, seeing Pn Rema, Pn Usha, Pn Sarala, Pn Premala and En Khairul dance… Really nice =)


Fireworks!

And 2 guys who wanted to take a photo with me (crew members I think? I dunno..) which got me excited yet feeling embarrassed? Yea, long story but heck, that’s cool too xD


LOL! Womaniser~!


LOL wei. Look at Aaron!

Bus trip back to Samad.
