A Typical Day in School

Dear Seri Surians,

It's me, Anne, your ex-student. How's it hangin back there? I really miss yall very much.

Its been 3 years since I've left you. How time flies.

Studying here in SMK Bandar Baru Sungai Long has been pretty good so far, apart from a few bumps on the way. I guess its about time I let you know what's life like in my new school.

One word to describe my first impression when I first stepped into this school; colorful!

Seriously.
From our classroom,

Which, by the way, was painted by us. Awesome, eh?

To the people,






To the entire school!



Well... it looked colourful then.

But anyway, although the idea of studying in a government school sucked at first, I'm beginning to see some of the perks of studying in a national school.

First of all, there is a whole new variety of school uniforms I could wear. I could be wearing a baju kurung on Monday and maybe the next day, I'd wear a pinafore and the day after that, I'd wear a pinafore with long sleeves.

But I look like a nerd in it.

Meh, I look like a nerd with or without it...
Second, we can do whatever we want with our classrooms. Even paint the entire place a hideous green or something and we won't get screwed up by the teacher (thankfully, we didn't)!

We painted it yellow. Oh well, I guess its normal enough..

And ermm..... we get to bring our cameras to school (like duh! How do you think I got the pictures in the first place?).

And basically, I think its a really pretty school. The facilities are HUGE! We even have goats and rabbits somewhere around.

It looks like a little farm in the school as well. We have a mushroom house too!




Sometimes, after harvesting the veggies, the students would sell it to the teachers.

Well, that's all I can say about my school in SMKBBSL. Its not such a bad school as I thought it would be when I first came. The students and teachers here are great apart from the few bitches I came across so far.

In the government school, apparently there are all kinds of people I've met here. Some are poor, some are gay, some are rich, some are scary while others are really sweet people.

Although there are times when I wished that I was still studying in Seri Suria, I'm beginning to like this school very much and I wouldn't want to change it in any way.

With lots o' love,
Anne ^.~

Parties and Crappy Muffins

What up my dear readers? Sorry for the boring posts lately. Nothing much has happened to me lately. No story about boys, school or anything. Nada.

*sigh* Sometimes, my life can be so dull.


So anyway, I might as well recall what has been going on in my life so far. Hmm.... recently, I was at a class party which is organized by Mr. Balan, my Accounts tutor. I've heard that he's one heck of a great teacher and most of his students are straight A students.

A dirty little secret about Mr. Balan; he's bald. Its not real hair.

It was a pretty good party I guess. We have an unlimited supply of pizza (unfortunately, I don't really like cheese).


That's Roann's lil' bro Roanld with my lil' bro, Daniel. They're both the same age just like me and Roann!


We also had a talent contest. Just do whatever you want. Roann and I attempted to do a scene from Mr. Bean, but we didn't win. I can't believe it was the kid who wasn't even participating won!

Total WTF moment.

All he did was just do a lousy breakdance when the music was on and he won just like that!


I like this guy's performance anyway. I like his wig. Yeah, another one with fake hair.


And here's the winner of the best dressed female of the night (the cute one, not Roann). And yes, you guessed it, that's her little sister, Rowina.

Did you know that everybody in Roann's family's name starts with an 'R'?
Including the dog!


Ah yes! It during one of my baking frenzy that I came up with this crap.

Seriously, you don't wanna eat it.

I could bake all kinds of stuff actually, cakes and cookies are one of my specialties. But muffins are one of the things I have yet to conquer.

"Muffins are the easiest things to make..." YEAH RIGHT!!

You have no idea how many times I've tried making muffins. I've looked up so many recipes and tried different tactics.


But they all ended up the same; one moment they look all fab when taken out of the oven, the next, they've all sunken in.

This recent muffin however, managed to stay up for a loooong time! This was an accomplishment for me. Unfortunately, there was one GIANT fatal flaw; its totally inedible!

Its as hard as rock! I can barely chew let alone swallow! It was probably one of the biggest failures ever that I had to throw the whole batch away. I couldn't bear to look at it...

=[ sadface


So in the end I decided to make one of my successful creations; Butter cake and chocolate cookies.

Screw the muffins!

Battle of the Sexes: Girls vs. Boys

Ah! What a weekend!

Just been to an advanced memory course and it was AWESOME man! I actually learnt how to remember hundreds of numbers in a short time and won't forget! I could even remember a long list of words and stuff, beauty eh?

Also, they did teach us a little something about anger management. So like, we were assigned to a partner and my partner happened to be this tall guy who looks like a college student. He supports Spain and he looks pretty tough.

OK, back to the subject.

So anyway, we were told to sit opposite our partners and we have to be close. We also have to look at each other in the eye. Ah, a bit shy...

Then. we fire each other! And by fire, I mean scold the fella for no reason. He has to have no expression on his face.

Honestly, I'm not so good at firing people. Though, I think I hit the sensitive spot when I insulted Spain... heehee.

A few hours later, we had this session about ambition.

That's when we met Ms. Haji.

Mr. Dass, our lecturer, introduced her as the sweetest, sensitive and most gentle person of all (yeah, right.) She was there to talk to us about our ambitions and our dreams.

So in walked this Indian lady, probably in her forties with straight hair, a brown dress and black leggings. She introduced herself as Ms. Haji. At first, she spoke to us about some of the most amazing people in the world with big dreams and stuff.

As soon as she got us all inspired, that's when she attacks.

She turned to a girl and was like, "What's your ambition?"

And the girl said, "An accountant."

Wah! Then Ms. Haji said how selfish the girl was because she wanted to make more money for herself and stuff. And that's gotta hurt.

Next, she asked another boy the same question, "What's your ambition?"

To which he replied, "A doctor."

And then she called him a murderer. A murderer! She said how doctors are actually murderers and that they only want to make money because they're being very selfish.

Then she told a girl who wants to be a lawyer that lawyers are liers because they only wanna make money once again, a boy who wanted to be a cricket player that he's being selfish for wanting to do only what he wants and again, to make more money.

Suddenly, she turned to me. Shit!

Then I also kena the dreaded question; "What's your ambition?"

I was like, " A marine biologist and journalist, because I like the marine life and perhaps I could earn a living from writing."

Once again, she said I'm being selfish because all I wanna do is to only make money! But, I know very well deep inside of me that I'm not doing this for money. Sure, I need money to survive, but I'm doing this because I wanna help the environment and I believe I'd be happier this way.

I know who I am and I don't need some woman who doesn't even know me tell me who I am, thank you very much!

Several heartaches later, she said that we're the laziest, most lousiest, good-for-nothing bunch she have ever met. With that, she left.

By then, I could see some of the eyes of the victims almost welling up. I guess some of the things she said really did hurt them.

Mr. Dass came back and was like, "What did I say? Isn't she the sweetest person ever?"

That did it.

Then everybody was bombarding Mr. Dass with their complaints and stuff. One wanted to slap her, another wanted to punch her, and another said that all her dreams were thrown out of the window because of her.

I too, was a bit hurt. But I didn't say anything. Somehow, I felt that whatever she said, I didn't think she meant it. I mean, what kind of person would wanna crush peoples dreams and ambitions for nothing? There must be a reason for it.

The answer came soon enough. Apparently, Ms. Haji was supposed to crush us.

Mr. D said that if you love someone, sometimes you gotta punch then in the stomach in order to help them improve themselves. Ms. Haji is actually a nice lady who loves children. He said that if our ambitions were strong enough, our determination would've boasted up ten times more!

Also, it was the second part of our anger management session.

Dang! She really got us there.

But the best part of the course was Girls vs. Boys.

So the girls go to the girls group and guys to guys group. Then, we list down what we want in the opposite sex. Here's a few of the things we girls came up with:

1. Must have 6 pack abs.
2. Must be rich
3. No Tiger Wooding (look it up on Google)
4. No drugs
5. No farting in bed (guess who's idea is that)
6. Must be kind
7. Must spend on us
8. No free sex
9. Must do housework
10. Carry our shopping bags

Of course, the guys won't take it without a fight. So here's what they came up with:

1. Must be tall (Obviously, its requested by this really tall guy in the group)
2. Can cook
3. No leg hair
4. Must be able to have at least 2 kids (WTF!?)
5. Knows how to massage
6. Knows how to make cheeseburger (???)
7. Must do housework
8. No violence
9. Should be 99% girl
10. No nagging

Ah, I guess its hard to please everybody...

SMS- How The Heck do you do it!?

Ever come across the time when you're talking to someone while he/she is texting someone else continuously without even looking at you?

Isn't it annoying and rude?

Or how about the times when someone won't stop texting you 24/7?

Worst.

Sometimes it makes me wonder; how do you guys do it???

I mean, sure! Its the most trendiest thing to do these days. I guess most people are shy to call each other nowadays, I dunno. Plus, you can do this quietly too.

Call me old-fashioned, but I'd prefer to talk to the person rather than waste my time looking for the 'R' or the symbols and stuff like that. Why, I came across this guy I met who won't stop texting me, it drives me nuts!

No kiddin! Everyday its 'Good morning, Anne!' or 'Gud 9, Anne!' and stuff like that. Most of all, he always asks me, 'Free?'

Oh for Pete's sake! Leave me alone! He likes to talk about how childish he is and what did I think about Pokemon?

Whether I'm at the movies, tuition, or even when I'm asleep, he's always texting me!! Dang!

My inbox is probably jammed full of his messages right now. He's nice, but clingy.

But some of the things I don't like is when people gives you LONG text messages about their problems and I barely even know them!

For example, there's this girl whom I met 6 years ago. Suddenly, after all these years, she calls me and bombards me with all her problems about this girl she's obsessed with for more than half an hour! And that's only when I stopped the conversation.

God knows how much longer would she actually talk about this girl.

Worst of all, I'm not a very good listener. I'm not even listening to half of what she's saying! All I ever do is go "Uh huh,", "Yeah.", "Oh, I see" etc, etc...

Now don't go thinking I'm insensitive or something. Sure! I'm happy to talk to her again, but, why start a friendship with negative stuff? Plus, when she told me about that girl she's obsessing over and how she sees her everywhere and anywhere, it kinda creeps me out. She wanted to go out with me.

Nooo thank you!

However, sometimes when I'm feeling bored texting is another way to kill some time. But I don't think I could keep up with all those speed texting and stuff. It should be some sort of skill or something.

Thus, I'm killing some time right now so don't hate me if you love texting. I think its genius!

I Wanna be the Sorcerer's Apprentice!

OMG! I can't believe Disney has got yet another fabulous movie; The Sorcerer's Apprentice!

Hey! Isn't that the one from one of Disney's oldest film which is also called 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice'??

MICKEY MOUSE!!

However, the 2010's version of this movie goes something like this:

Dave (JAY BARUCHEL) is just an average college student, or so it appears, until the sorcerer Balthazar Blake (NICOLAS CAGE) recruits him as his reluctant protégé and gives him a crash course in the art and science of magic. As he prepares for a battle against the forces of darkness in modern-day Manhattan, Dave finds it is going to take all of the courage he can muster to survive his training, save the city and get the girl as he becomes THE SORCERER’S APPRENTICE.

And check it out! In courtesy of Walt Disney Motion Pictures Malaysia, hopefully I'll be one of the selected few to watch The Sorcerer's Apprentice 2 days before its official release date! EEeekk!!

I soo wanna be the Sorcerer's Apprentice because like duh! You get to say, "Can you do this?" ZAP! "Can you do that?" ZAP! ZAP! ZAP!

"Aww... you can't do any of those?" ZAP!

Oh and to help save the world from evil.... nah, too much of that stress is gonna give me zits.

If I were a sorcerer's apprentice, I'd have all these cool powers like that pretty blue fireball!

Hmm... if I had magical powers, I would...

1. Materialize a Mini Cooper S out of thin air and drive it to school in my hottest shades.

2. Fly upstairs instead of walking... or I could transport myself instead!

3. 'Pop' all the information from all my text books into my little head so that I don't have to study and I'd get straight A's in my exams! Yay!

4. Magically get rid of my fats and I'd become slimmer and muscular without having to diet!

5. On the day of the SPM next year, I'd 'accidentally' make all the test papers disappear!

6. Oh! And I'd materialize a driver's license to drive the Mini Cooper S from no. 1.

YEAH!

OOh! And if I had magical powers, I'd summon monitor lizards to chase after my school discipline teacher for confiscating my phone! Plus, it would do some good for the other students too :P

AND, and, and, with these magical powers, I summon Nuffnang to grant me a ticket to see the movie!! MUAHAHAHAHA!!!!
