Thank God It's Thursdays.

I havent been updatin much lately due to "heavy workload." (6)
Yesterday, I went to watch the salzburg orchestra.

it was magnificent!! however, the mozart violin concerto bored me to death. other than that, it was fine. Hadyn's concerto was AMAZING!!
majority of the ppl that came are like old people. expats mostly.

hmm.. lol

regina and i vowed to do our Maths cwk over the weekends. yes, we motivate and encourage each other to work hard. (h) WE ROCK.

What do i want to do NOW??
I WANT TO SLEEP. ITS TIME TO BE UNHEALTHY!!! COZ ITS THE WEEKENDS.



3 LIL PACKETS OF LAYS + A BOTTLE OF MINERAL WATER + LAPTOP ----> BOREDOM ---> YAWN FACTOR = SLEEPING.

Thus, 3 packets of Lays before sleeping:

3 PACKETS OF LAYS + SLEEPING + COLD WEATHER = FAT.

Anyways, im hibernatin now. ADIOS.

Listen to this!

I adore his voice! Oh my gosh.

This song's perfect.

Homesick.

I miss my grandparents.
I miss my aunts.
I miss my uncles.
I miss my cousins.

I miss the FOOD!

I realised that i never really blogged about my family. Haha. Well I shall, this time.

(U know why im suddenly inspired? coz right now, IM SO HOMESICK. I REALLY WANNA GO HOME)

im just gonna talk abt my mum's side of the family. coz i miss them more than my dad's side. SHH.

My grandpa used to be an English teacher and a sch principle, and my grandma, is a housewife.
OK. well. when i was small i prefer my mum's parents coz my grandpa has a great sense of humour and my grandma loves me more than my mum. yeah thats what i thought.

Having two parents that are working, my grandparents used to come and stay with us if both of my parents are away for work. Grandpa would send me to sch and be my chaffeur for like 2 weeks. and i had to cope with his slow driving. my grandpa drives at like 60 km/hr!

and he would blast the Classic FM instead of the Breakfast Show in the morning.

My grandma annoys me sometimes, because she LOVES going to the vegetable market. Almost every evening after sch, she would go to the market and buy fresh vegetables.

And then cook delicious food! I bet all grandmas cook delicious food dont they?? My favourite dish is fried minced pork rolled in thin tofu sheets. *slurps*

My mum's parents are like OBSESSED with the fruit orchard. i mean like no offense but its like ewww mosquitos everywhere, lizards and all those flying creatures. insects mostly. everytime when they come over to stay with us, they would call their friends every night asking how their orchard's like. i mean its not like anyone steals fruits or smt..

They used to have pepper orchard? such thing? LOL. ya w/e yup. like in May or smt, coz we have holidays in May, i used to go and visit them and collect pepper! end up getting paid for it!

anyways, yea.. my 2 aunts.

one of my aunt is a doctor. and shes single. im tryna hook her up with doods. but i fail, coz i dnt know dudes of her age. shes no more a doctor now, shes sorta like a director for the Controlling disease department or smt. i dnt really know. she has this teeeeny weeny irish accent which annoys me because she used to study in ireland. whenever we gossip or smt, that stpid accent comes up.

i need tips on how to make an adult fall in love. HAHAHAHA. i fall in love so easy, so why cant she?

shes SO COOL! so youthful! we shop together and stuff. we even fit in the same size for tops! everything's the same size, except our shoe size. we even exchanged bikinis! except i din get to wear hers coz it rained when we wanted to go to the beach. her feet's size 4 and my feet is size 6!

she sucks in cooking tho. really. -_-" thats why, last summer during my stay, i had to dine out like everyday. thank god for hawker stalls and coffeshops. homemade food but sold at shops. get it? :P hahaa. oh oh! and we both ADORE adam levine.

but me and her arent very much alike. because she likes reading, and i dnt really enjoy reading. oh my gosh. if u check out her apartment. she made a library for HER BOOKS. HER BOOKS! i mean just her books alone can fill up a room!! what can i say, doctors.

my other aunty, which is my mum's second youngest sister... is an engineer. some communication enggineer or smt. i dnt know. LOL. now shes in houston, coz her husband's crossposted there.

THIS AUNTY, I LOVE!

she gives me goodies. ALL THE TIME. never fail to please me by buying stuff. LOL (yes she wins my heart coz she buys stuff for me. LOL)

she even offered to pay for a manicure! too bad i aint got nails coz i bite em.

i LOVE her. coz she listens to the same music as i do. this aunty, also sucks in cooking. i mean whats wrong with them?? only my mum cooks well and my grandma. i dnt wanna be eating mum's homecook when its xmas or smt. at least some variations! hahaha

well.. shes.. not a gd shopper tho. we dnt have the same taste in fashion. and shes just too tall. so i cant fit in her jeans or anything. and her shoe size is like 8. hahaha

but shes more of like my sister's best friend. coz esther likes playing with amanda and albert, her children.

I STILL LOVE HER THOUGH!

and now, my uncle!!

im not so close to my uncle coz u know, doh, im closer to my aunts! hey.. if u have a hungry stomach, my uncle's the person to turn to. HAHAHA.

he knows every single restaurant that serves good food or not. ok thats exaggerating.
let me rephrase.

he knows almost every single restaurant in kl that serves good food or not.

my uncle's stingy. he still hasnt given me gifts for getting 5As in my yr 6 examinations. lol!!
ok i really dnt know what to say abt my uncle. seriously. LOL. oh and um hes a chemical engineer. AND IM GONNA BE LIKE HIM. and im gonna earn more than he does now(h) WAIT AND SEE UNCLE.

AND MY COUSINS!

OH BTW, im the eldest granddaughter in the family. my grandparents has 8 grandchildren. lol *smiles*

neena's my fav cuzzy coz i can do girl talk better with her than with esther. esther just sucks. ya i know shes my sis but w/e

darren's annoying but hey he was the only one who cried when i left for qatar! HAHAHAHA

albert is naughty. he bangs my piano.

amanda is coooool because she thinks i rock.

Teh Tarik Dilemma

* Screams! *

Omg What A Nightmare!!

In school, im haunted by 3 (maybe more) ppl telling me that TEH TARIK tastes AWESOME.

GROSS.

GROSS.

Ok,u must be thinkin....

WHAT THE HELL IS TEH TARIK?

According to Wikipedia, ( i cant be bothered to explain it because TEH TARIK SUCKS)

"Teh tarik ("pulled tea" or 拉茶 in Mandarin) is a type of tea which can be bought in restaurants and outdoor stalls in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei."

"It is often compared to cappuccino because of its frothy top. The main ingredients are tea and condensed milk."

"It has become the de facto national drink of Malaysia. In Malaysia, there are also occasions where "teh tarik" brewers gather for competitions and performances to show their skills in making this drink."

"This tea is special in that it is prepared using a unique technique. The tea is poured from a hand held high into a container held in a hand below. The tea is poured back and forth in this manner to create a thick froth. It is believed that this method mixes the tea with the condensed milk more thoroughly than other methods. It is also believed that this action cools down the tea to an optimum temperature for consumption."

"However, the most appropriate reason as to why Indian hawkers prefer this method of preparing teh tarik would probably be for the purpose of showmanship; the ability to drag a long stream of tea well over their heads was an amusing novelty for the locals and thus attract patrons"

-End-

Heres a picture

People usually consume Teh Tarik with Roti Canai or Nasi Lemak. Roti Canai simply means Pratha. Altho it tastes nicer than the Pratha here. Really.

Nasi Lemak is one of my FAVOURITE Dish. omg *slurps* Dont know what it is? Visit Wikipedia dearest.

I dont like Teh Tarik because..

1. I think its GROSS.
2. It all tastes the same.
3. Its a hot drink. ( u can never get iced Teh Tarik unless someone wants to make a designer tea and named it Teh Tarik)
4. It makes ur breath stink. All tea does anyway. (A)
5. Teh Tarik is just NOT NICE.

Lol. Reasonable enough??

U know what is my favourite Malaysian drink??????

OMG.......

AIR BANDUNG. (air is pronounced ayer btw)

What is it??

Its a drink made outta Rose extract mixed with Condensed milk + Sugar + Ice!

The drink's pinkish in colour.

Omg. Drink it when the weather is hot and oh my, REFRESHING!!

*gulps*

Infact, ima ask mum to get a bottle of Rose Cordial or syrup.

Alright. Study mode.

Gasps!

Science Resits!

November 22nd!!

This Thursday!

Im revising.

Ciao!

Post numbero uno nueve uno.

This album rocks!! To you, RnB/Pop fans, this is a MUST HAVE! Now Ive got 2 of JLo's album, and this one's way better than her self-titled album.

I thought this album wouldnt be as gd as Como Ana Una Mujer seeing as the songs in the spanish album were pretty ew. BUT I WAS WRONG. This album RULES!

Catchy.Sexy.Groovy.

And to u ppl who wants to dance in MADD, I'd reckon u listen to all the tracks in the song. and make a medley. HAHA.

i think im just so into this kinda music. haha. i dont like singers like Ciara or Christina Millian.. they just have the same beat all the way. This one's like extraordinary!! More like songs for a showdance or smt.

i bought Colbie Caillat's album too. its not bad for her first album. i cant really say anything abt it right now coz atm im so hooked up with JLo's album.

Listen to:

Mile In These Shoes --- > Song about self-confidence (h)

Gotta Be There ---> This one is my fav! coz i can relate to it, except i dnt live in those places she

mentioned. haha

Stay Together ---> Damn sexy song.

Be Mine ---> Hehe.

I Need Love --> HMM. JUST LISTEN TO IT. Some of the things she mentioned is true haha

When she cries..

Its horrible when I come home from school,

10 minutes later, i see and HEAR Marisa crying..

GRR.

I HATE LITTLE KIDS WHO CRY over just a slight..... mistake. Even worse, NOTHING.

especially MARISA.

and shes still crying now. FOR GOODNESS SAKE! SHUT UP.

Shes crying over NOTHING!! My mum's busy, so i guess she wants the attention. Or maybe, she misses my dad coz hes in dubai.

BUT STILL. STFU grrrrrr!!!

i tried to load the Disney channel website, and tried play the ever so annoying Hannah Montana on it, and SHES STILL CRYING!!

so what i did :)

i took a photo of her.

:)

CRYING.

Haha! *smiles*

anyway.. i tied up my hair.. and OMG FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY, I COULD ALMOST TIE IT SIMILAR TO HOW THE KOREAN GIRLS tie their hair!

OR.. how the chinese girls in my old school tie their hair!

i could NEVER tie my hair in a half pony tail like that so perfectly. NEVER. coz my hair's too fine that it would basically turn out to be a pony tail after that.

OH MY GOSH. SHES STILL CRYING GRRR!!

RIGHT NOW, i wish someone yells at her or smt. i cant do that, or else ill be in trouble.

oh i took another picture! MY HAIR COLOUR!! woooooo...

now that pic below, is esther's hair. AND LOOK THE HAIR COLOUR. its not black. and its NATURAL. i always envy that of her. other than that na ah,.. well i want to be the same height as her too. COZ SHES TALLER THAN ME.

Oh, What An Experience!

I just got back from Kuwait last night.. went there on Thurs.. I was attending the Performing Arts Workshop.

and yes.. no words can describe HOW AMAZING IT WAS!!

i made new friends.. learned new things..

I attended the Choral Workshop.

Basically.. I learned to sing in a choir! And discovered that im an Alto singer. an alto singer is someone who sings lower than Soprano singers.

Vocal warmups are soo fun!! the choral workshop group was taught by an opera singer.. so she teaches us how to do vocal warmups and how to reach the right notes etc.

The person who teaches the choir the songs is a male teacher and hes realy fun!

we sang about 4 songs.. Streets Of London, Fame, Jambo Buana and a song of his own composition..

We only have a day to prepare 4 songs.. because we have to perform them the next day.

and wow.. it sounds amazing! i cant believe.. after 8 hours of work.. we can achieve such thing! the choir sounded as if we were practising for a month or smt.

Some other ppl did Dance workshops - where they learn choreographed routines for JLo's Do It Well single..

Some attended Tech workshops - where they control the lightings and sound system for the overall concert

Some attended Drama workshops - acting and stuff

And Some attended.. Fashion workshops - designed their own outfit in just 8 HOURS and they were able to strike a fashion show in the morning! AMAZING.

Where did i stay??

I stayed with a host family! It was an american family... Well, it wasnt just me alone staying with them.. asti and poppy were with me.

OHH MY GOODNESS.

we were treated like a PRINCESS.

we get fresh new towels everytime after a shower.

we got our uniform ironed IMMEDIATELY after it came out from the dryer. (my mum irons it like a day after she took it from the dryer -_-")

i was using a blow up bed and it got deflated in the morning *blushes* so. they bought me a matress! so for the second night, i was sleeping on a brand new matress (h)

we had FRESHLY BAKED CROISSANTS for breakfast in the morning.

we had dinner ordered from the hotel serving chinese cuisine and got it delivered by the host's driver.

we had maids helping us to pack our stuffs.

OH MY GOODNESS.

we had a driver that made sure we have a bottle of mineral water with us before we leave the house.

we were SPOILT BRATS FOR A DAY.

and our hostess.. Sofia was soooooo lovely!! shes just in yr 7 and she acts so mature.. and so caring!!

and oh my goodness. she can dance SOO WELL. it freaks me out. an 11 yr old can dance that well!

her mum.. omg.. she cared too much LOL. she kept checkin up on us until she knows that we're asleep. shes against fast foood so thats why she offered to order food after we come back from the workshop.

IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE!too much too tell.....

Silent Breaker

on the way home,

the bus conductor told the lil kids to wear the seatbelts.

hes like..

CHILDREN, WEAR SEALTBELT HAR! ALLUF U.

doesnt ALLUF U sounds like.. I LOVE U.

what he meant was.. ALL OF U.

hahaha me and the girl sitting beside me laughed for like 2 mins or smt. its funny

and i swear.. the bus conductor gives girly glares to show that hes mad at the lil kids. HAHAH
