Exams are almost over; and i've got a whole list long of plans coming up ;) most of which i've been dying to do since last year end - like getting rid of those unwanted books from my messy studyroom. mind you, those who have been there would've known just how 'tidy' it iS.

Just a couple of days ago (i think it was Monday) i went out for a 2-in-a-row movie marathon with seyin at Mid Valley; we watched Harry Potter and then Mr. Deeds. By the end of the day, i wasn't in the mood to read or study.

Sis finally got herself a Nokia 8310 which looks something like... this one. Now that's cool - 'cause i can send her text messages through SMS ;) ahh.. it's not like i've never messaged her before, but it just feels different because she's all the way in uk, and it only cost RM 0.15 for each message i send - promotional rate. At least that's way faster than e-mails.

Went to Mid Valley with Mom yesterday, it was only for fun. We've one whole stack of Jusco Vouchers, so we spent it on the supermart, cause there isn't really much other stuffs that we could get there.

Basically, we just walked around the mall.. saw this rrreeally gorgeous girl..(or lady) in MNG trying out some clothes. I was like.. "woa..Mommy look!! She's so pretty.." lol. She's even tall enough to be a model. If only i could be half as perfect as she is.

We had dinner at Chillis at about 9.30pm.. and we were all starving.

"I think that there is a place where she realizes that people come in and out of your life, sometimes for one day, sometimes for longer, and all of them make you what you are. You can't separate these people out of you. They form who you are, even the ones that you kind of say, 'Well, you know, I don't know if I wanna be formed by them anymore.' But you are in some way... you are, that's why maybe you don't have to look at them so harshly because they have affected you. At the end, though, you know, it's us as individuals with our love for the land, for something untangible that, when soulmates come and go, you're never alone even when you're standing just you and your shoes, because you carry them with you." -- Tori Amos

...counting down the days to November 26th...and i just can't wait! *gaWd. How many times have i been repeating that already? Dad took a whole week's leave so he came with mom to pick seyin and i home from school. asked how was the paper.. i just said i don't know.. well. i really don't.

basically, i had just carelessly got a question wrong, and didn't know how to do that stupid kuartil ketiga thingy so i simply made up a working for it. and the rest.. i guess i don't quite know how to do either. well, whatever they might be.. no point in placing the blame at myself for *ahem not studying when i should be, and too late to regret over what's been done and pass.

no bithday treat for me this year i think last year's birthday celebration was one of the best so far. movie at klcc..celebration at Starbucks..*geeS.. even going home at 1.30am after showcase and hanging out at Starbucks, and mom or dad didn't even nag

Have you seen the old man
In the closed down market
Kicking up the papers with his worn out shoes
In his eyes you see no pride
Hands held loosely at his side
Yesterday's paper, telling yesterday's news

So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something
To make you change your mind

Have you seen the old girl
Who walks the streets of London
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags
She's no time for talking
She just keeps right on walking
Carrying her home in two carrier bags

So how can you tell me you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine?
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something
To make you change your mind

In the old night cafe at a quarter past eleven
The same old man sitting there on his own
Looking at the world over the rim of his teacup
Each tea lasts an hour, and he wanders home alone

So how can you tell me that you're lonely
And say for you that the sun don't shine
Let me take you by the hand
And lead you through the streets of London
I'll show you something
To make you change your mind

Have you seen the old man
Outside the seaman's mission
Memory fading with the minor ribands that he wears
In our city winter the rain cries little pity
For one more forgotten hero
And a world which doesn't care

Found this qoutation somewhere..

Friday, November 1

We always have this session in school where we shake hands and hug all the teachers right before a major exam. I still remember the one i had in the BBGS School Hall before PMR. But that was 2 years back. and 2 years can change so much.

Everyone was hugging each other goodluck after hugging the teachers. i didn't cry but there were tears on my face! LoL. For hugging my English teacher who had tears on her cheek. haha. Though it's not the last day we're going to meet each other, but the sappy atmosphere made it seem like it's really High School Graduation day. And for once, i hugged so many of my old friends whom i hadn't been talking to for perhaps... three to five years. Like my primary classmates, and my secondary 1 classmates. And i think i hugged Christy for about 4 times!! One of them for belated birthday wish. And then there was Sham - known her since standard one.

Obviously this isn't the last day. 26th Nov. won't be the last day either. We still have Prom Night. and then our own gatherings, maybe. and some reunions. friends outings. but honestly i know, everyone will be on different tracks, unevitably - busy schedules, new crowd of friends, studying abroad.. but we're still going to keep in touch. Still going to hang out together, sometimes..perhaps.

I don't usually enjoy those weekly assembly. It's always long speeches and boring long talks. With all sorts of prize-giving. Well, it did start off a little boring, and i was wishing it would end earlier. But I enjoyed it today, when i listen to all the changes they're going to make next year on, and knowing that i'm escaping them all. *yaayy

We exchange contacts, and ate and ate. There was actually too much food around. I skipped the briefing on spm, and stayed in class. We were blasting songs like My December, Papercut, Graduation(Friends forever), goodbye, we sang to the songs, laughing and taking pictures.

I still remember days in BBGS after our PMR, when we had our class party. We could even play with water because it's right behind our class. and we'll run to the middle of the field, even though it's against the rules. We blast the music on the radio playing CDs or Cassettes. Now it's Computer, onlining as we blast songs from CDs on the CD player. and watching VCDs on the TV which is connected to the supposedly teacher's computer.

gotten this really adorable doggie stuff toy from emma today. *hugs* thaanks so much :)

And so we talked all night
about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be
when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking
things will always be the same

But when we leave this year
we won't be coming back
No more hanging out
cause we're on a different track
And if you got something
that you need to say

You better say it right now
cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on
and we can't slow down
These memories are playing
like a film without sound

And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real cool
Stay at home talking on the telephone with me
We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change
Come whatever,
We will still be friends forever

So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule

Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can we ever find a job that won't interfere with a tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

yay it's fiNaLLy nOvEmbeR!!!!!!

yay. i love November.

i suddenly remembered diana's website and i cracked my brains to think of the website's url, only to realize that i could actually check on the log! haha.

i can't sleep cause i just drank a cup of coffee at about 12:30am. LoL. Sis had been really busy with all the activities and studies in University. and only called up today cause i e-mailed her and told her that Mom and Dad are dreadfully missing her and dead worried about her. she hadn't called back or replied any emails for about a couple of weeks already. and told her to call home a.s.a.p. after reading the email. and she did. they were so relieved after the call.

oOh and it's cool cause sis told seyin that she has already posted our birthday present which will reach in about 6-8 days. aww.. man, can't wait to receive it and i want to know what's the gift!! hahaha
