Change for ... well, for more eyebags :)

Hah . kidding.


Add Maths tuition was fun, I was really really excited about it. Yay for me Jing Wei is in the same class, despite being tweeny bit intimidated by her amaaazing maths skillz, I like sitting next to her in maths :) She'd glance at my workbook a few times, and she'd point out answers she didn't think was so and we'd discuss the question. 

Unsurprisingly, she'd get it right, duhh. I'd stick to my answer like UHU glue, it takes quite some time for me to get what she's trying to point out. But so far the mistakes I make in my work are all causes of me not grasping what the question wants, so I'm not very very very very worried about AddMaths ... yet. If Lat was there she'd probably be saying, "Numero Uno" (but in German) so many times we'd get sick of it :P love you, Lat.

So now the only tuition I'm still anticipating would be Physics, this Friday afternoon. 

I ate the leftovers for dinner when I got home. It wasn't much, in fact, it was like 5 spoon full of rice. We didn't want leftovers to take up the space in the refrigerator. I had it with the tom yam soup my mom made for dinner. I like my tom yam soups more sour than spicy, mathematically, a ratio of 3:1. And my mom gets it perfectly every time. 

Every since Gina went home, the house seemed way too big to handle and laundry are impossible to finish. But my mom and I got used to it, now it's like a walk in the park, except the grass seem a little prickly at times, but it's not like we're drowning or anything. My daily routine have changed, no drastic changes, just tweaks here and there. And now that the school's each period being an hour long (so that h/w can be done at school, with the guidance of our teachers), chores at home are easier to handle.

If I can finish my homework at school, by the time I get home, I'll have time for revision, the chores and stuff I want to do. Dishes take about five minutes, so after dinner, I can iron while my mom cleans up the dining room. I'll be done by 10pm, so after I can just chill with the family instead of worry about undone homework. We have a housekeeper that comes the the house for the vacuuming and the moping thrice a week ... soo everything's going well. :) Hoorah! 

Anyway ... 

I have yet to clean up my room :) And my stuff aren't scattered ONLY in my room. Guests don't see the mess I make all around the house because I cover them up pretty good :) But daddy helped me move all my stuff/mess from all over the house downstairs (well, atleasy the ones he found) to one room. So tomorrow I'll have to get my room sorted out so that the mess downstairs can move into the room by tomorrow.

It's half past twelve. Sleeping any later than one in the morning, I'll face the consequence of showing up late in school. That's not something you wanna do if you're trying to not have Pn Mary call out your name with .. The Tone. :) Nahh, she's cool. Besides, being on time for school for the whole year is on my 2009 resolution. :)

Goo'nigh, peep.

Hello hello, ju-ju-juniors.

I was on the second shift to help out at the form 1's orientation today. Was on the same shift as Lat and Maryam so I wasn't as nervous as I could be without them there. 


So it was fun! :) It was my first time. I remember when I first came into school and the PRS ran one of the orientation days. During my year, Fairuz and Yasmin Lane were one of the few PRS's that did the orientation. 

While the form1's were sorting out their text books, the PRS were just waiting in front of the hall till they got everything sorted out. I was fiddling with the microphone, then I asked Lat if it was turned on. So she said "Hello" into the mic . After that she went on a silent strike cos she thought she sounded like a boy. lol. 

The both of us talked to Irena while we waited ... still still Latifah was on her silent strike. 

I didn't receive my school text books as I was in the hall ... so I'll have to wait till tomorrow. After school Lat and I got ourselves yam ice cream ! :D Weird thing was, on our way out of the canteen, we saw a total of three chocolate ice scream scoops on the floor. ): Such a waste of good ice cream.

I'll be going for my first ever Add Maths tuition tonight. Wish me luck, people. :)

Tootle-loo! and ciaaaoo


Lets talk .. school.

So how was your first day of school?


Mine was fine :)

I got into 4SC, and I'm happy with it :) Pn Hoh is our class teacher, she's really funny. She sang a little of 16 going on 17 for us. 

There's quite a few changes in Sri Aman. All (i hope) of the changes we're gonna start practicing this year on ...

  • We have to wear our sports house tag on the right collar ... lol
  • This year, we can help earn house points with sahsiah marks and our behaviour in class can and will affect our sports house points. 
  • 4SA and 4SB have 'new' classrooms. They're on the top floor of the PIBG building. 4SA have their own balcony with a view of KLCC in sight, and their own rest room to themselves. But 4SB gets the bigger classroom. 
  • Each class have a specific table they're responsible for during recess. :\ The class doesn't have to sit during recess, we just have to make sure the table is clean after our recess.
  • Every 3rd week of the month, chairperson(s)/president(s) of clubs, societies etc will run the Monday assembly.
  • Aaaaand ... Sri Aman will be having a production! I don't know if this is yearly, but we're having one this year. Hope this goes well. It'll be fun working on a production with your schoolmates. 
A was terribly sleepy during Mandarin class. After rushing home, I had like 15 minutes to eat lunch and wash up before Vicky came. I couldn't concentrate, at all .. so we'll be rescheduling the tuition to about half an hour later. Hope I won't still be as sleepy. 

Arrright .... this weeks favourite broadway number? 

Nowadays from Chicago. I think Renee Zellweger did very well. Catherine Zeta Jones was good too, but I think Zellweger was a little more carefree, and I found it fun to watch her have fun with the number.

First day of school - 2009! :)

I'm leaving for school in 10 minutes.


Couldn't sleep last night, probably the excitement of the first day of school took up too much space in my mind for it to tell the body to go to sleep. So I spent about fifteen minutes on the internet watching Chicago - the movie musical clips.

This year will be the first time 'first day of school' was without Gina since the year ... 1999. 

oh well, see ya'll at school :)

Aloha 2009!

What a way to start a new year :)

Someone tried to break into my dad's car. They used wires, a grass cutter and a plank of wood. They didn't manage to break into the car but the driver's seat window is chipped. This morning, when my dad went to the police station to lodge a report, both his nokia and his samsung phones were stolen. Contacts, appointments, info all gone. aaaaall gone. 

I woke up to my dad calling my name. hahah. That rarely happens, he usually leaves me sleeping even if it's after noon. But today the family were going to have lunch at uncle Zahrain's house. I like going there, uncle Zahrain, uncle Zubair and my dad have their weird jokes and it's fun to just sit at the table and listen.

One of the paintings, aunt Hairani wanted the painting on one of the walls. But one of the men suggested the painting be hung on another wall, he thought it'd look better. Then Uncle Zubair steps in and says, "Dude, you better let the woman decide. Take it from a married man, she won't let you forget about it until the day you die.". LOL. 

We were at uncle Zahrains house 'till about 6pm. After we picked up Sean from Uptown, we went to Ikea to get my wall shelves and Jean's study table. In the car daddy told me, as my reward for my PMR results, he gave me three choices of ... 

  • A short trip to somewhere during one of the holidays.
  • Deco for my room ... painting, bean bag .. anything
  • Or cash to spend
I'm not going for the cash, I'm almost certain I'll spend it all. I'm considering between choices one and two, but I have a feeling I'll be going for choice number two. There's an Audrey Hepburn painting I want from IKEA. Sure, it's no one of a kind painting, but I like it :) We'll see.


We bought my wall shelves, which my dad will help me put up tomorrow. Although, we couldn't find a suitable table for Jean, not only has it have to be suitable for Jean, but it has to have the correct width measurement to look like an extension from the table I bought. 

Tomorrow I'll be going to KLIA to bid farewell to our housekeeper, Gina, of ten years. She's been with me since I was in kindie, it's going to be weird not seeing her around the house. Or her voice calling out my name during dinner time. Or her coming into my room and telling me the mess is a sore for the eye, and can't stop bugging me to clean it up, especially my clothes strewn everywhere. I'll miss her. I'll really really miss her. 

On the way home, it was around 9.45pm and in my head I just went, "Ohmygod. Right now, at this moment, the cast of mamma mia is performing on stage in istana budaya." That, followed by the sudden bang of wanting to go to istana budaya and watch them strut their stuff for the last time in KL. The show should be finishing by now (11.14pm), I'm gonna miss the musical. Hopefully next year West End will send another great musical for an international tour. Please oh please? :)
