DAL SEGNO
I had my first Lab Practice for Chemistry yesterday; and we did the experiment on the titration of potassium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid..which I did before in secondary school. I repeated the titration for 4 times to supposedly get a concordance result, but the last repeat was the most inaccurate one ;P Thinking Skills lessons are nice, and Bio is fun. I didn't know lab practices could be that fun. Before, i thought Lab Practical are one of the most boring times. But now I realise it isn't really all that bad. It turned out to be one of the funnest times when we could mix around, talk and laugh. When we're in class and lesson's on, we could hardly move around.

Met up with Yoke right at the class next to mine early morning before classes begin, and we talked until classes are about to start; Saw Suet Voon too while I was on my way to go for lunch today. During break, we chatted at McD about our plans tomorrow ;) even though the venue still didn't sound that appealing to me. But i've been told it's a nice place that it isn't bad at all.. *shrugs*. We'll see. ;)

Monday's a holiday for us *cHeeRs*. So I guess Prom Night was held on the right day. Because even though I'll miss the whole Saturday to party till late night, I'll still have Sunday and Monday to catch up with homeworks and revisions.

THE ONE WITH THE BLUR ME
;o) I came online since I have a few spare minutes to myself before I actually need to start getting ready to leave house. *haha* Because I made a mistake and somehow got mixed up early morning I thought class starts at 8am today blekks. I drank Ice-Blended Mocha again yesterday and so did I on Saturday. Such coincidence to have met Shireen while Seyin and I was walking around =D and we chatted until her supervisor started looking.. so we quickly purchase something and continued walking around.

I slept at 3 and woke up at 5 *rubs eye* so basically, I don't know how am I going to make it through today..thankfully no LAN subjects for me today. Because *coughS* you-know-why..

These few days had been strangely eventful.. including the weekends which I was expecting to stay at home; but ended out whole day. College had been great, because I met so many of me old pals ;) On orientation day alone, I met countless exBBGSians; and then the other day met Diana who I was only guessing at first, and then suddenly she shouted my name - then the three of us were chatting together when Theresa passed by, and she stopped..another familiar face. haHa. She looks a bit like April.. just a little resemblence. And she asked, what are you guys doing here?
Me : standing?
Diana : chattinG..
SeYin : A Level.
Theresa : ohh.. waah.. *giving thumbs up*
And i felt dumb. heh..
Then for the first time in the whole week, we saw CJ on Friday while seyin, emma and I were on our way to meet Nick and Cindy in front of Mac Book Store. (KY - I DO know where Mac Bookstore is!!!! ;] ) then we walked over to the most-mentioned Seaview Restaurant to so-called have lunch with KY and Kenny but we actually already had our lunch.

I didn't know Mommy would be so supportive about me getting a boyfriend....geSsh* Dad checked out some notebooks, he told me. But I *wish* he'll buy them instead of just checking.. and I finally bought myself a dress for prom =)

College officially begins today ;) yay! I finally could keep myself busy again : ) And I'm still on an addiction for pool, not the virtual one.

Been on this path of life for so long
Feel I've walked a thousand miles
Sometimes strolled hand in hand with love
Everybody's been there

With danger on my mind I would stay on the line of hope
I knew I could make it
Once I knew the boundaries I looked into the clouds and saw
My face in the moonlight

Just then I realised what a fool I could be
Just cause I look so high I don't have to see me
Finding a paradise wasn't easy but still
There's a road going down the other side of this hill

Never forget where you've come here from
Never pretend that it's all real
Someday soon this will be someone else's dream

Been safe from the arms of disappointment for so long
Feel each day we've come too far
Yet each day seems to make much more
Sure is good to be here

I understand the meaning of 'I can't explain this feeling'
Now it feels so unreal
At night I see the hand that reminds me of the stand I make
The fact of reality

Never forget where you've come here from
Never pretend that it's all real
Someday soon this will be someone else's dream

We've come so far and we've reached so high
And we've looked each day and night in the eye
And we're still so young and we hope for more
But remember this

We're not invincible,
We're only people,
Hey we're not invincible,
So again I'll tell you

Never forget where you've come here from
Never pretend that it's all real
Someday soon this will be someone else's dream

THE ONE WITH THE CRAZY STREET PARTY

Both my legs and hands are tired, and it's a miracle I am still able to type right now. Yesterday afternoon, I was down at BB, walking around with Se YIn; and after walking around we settled down at Coffee Bean for a drink. We had the couch seat! ;) and we chatted a bit as I flipped throught the newspaper occasionally. Then Changkeat and Chang came by to say hi.

We left Coffee Bean and only to realize that Nelly was searching for us there minutes later. So we met up with Ian, Kenny, Nelly, Nick and Cindy in the middle of Bintang Walk. We walked all the way to Cosmic Bowl just to decide that we didn't want to Bowl. And with SeYin and I being the tourist guide around, we walked over to Low Yat and played pool at BrewBall. YaaYYyayaa. I © pOoL.

Then Boon Wah came with Alex and Jason Law and someone else. Just chatted a bit, I don't know who they're waiting for. We played doubles in pool. Me and Se Yin against Nelly and Cindy. Some couple of weeks ago I played Yahoo! Pool with Boon Wah and I hitted a 2in1 shot. Unexpectedly, I did - too. In real ;) And HEY! Adrian and Wen Jie happened to be there too. I was really surprised, it was such mere coicidence. Haha.. and I wish I did book a Hotel room too so I don't need to fuss about the jam on the way home. *Envies people who booked hotel rooms for yesterday night* :\

We had three hours of it (am I right?), and since there are so many of us, it only costed each of us RM3. We had dinner at Fish&Co. Again. Of all place in the world. Of all the restaurants along Bintang Walk. Why, I just went there on Christmas Eve. Johnny and Jenn must've think we somehow loved the food there so much that we have to dine in there so often. And I won't ever step in that place for one whole year now. I've had enough of it.

We missed the countdown because we were far from the Bintang Walk area - in front of Beach Club; where we should've stayed. We were listening to 'It's The Final Countdown' song which was repeated over and over. We walked over to where we thought we'll have a clearer view of fireworks. And we had this New Year Race - everyone around us started running to get a better view of both the KLCC fireworks; and later on Fireworks from BB. It was wicked fun. CrazY.

I had to try more than ten times just to be able to see a MESSAGE SENT with that envolope on the tiny handphone screen. Naturally, since everyone is so busy calling each other and wishing each other Happy New Year; or getting lost and contacting each other; or interference from all these stage works. We wished each other Happy New Year and hugged, but the next thing we know, we're seperated into 2 groups because Nick and Cindy and a few others are out of sight. We walked back to BB in the end, because we're all tired and desperately dying for a drink.

I walked across the land that used to be my very own school. SeYin and I was saying - that's the field; this is where the Office Block was; Prouse Wing was far down there. Whatever happened to it now.. It's a car park and demolished piece of empty land. Surely that land was huge. And I missed my alma mater so much. Now I'm stepping on the ground, on my classroom. And I still remember my first few days in school. It felt like it was just yesterday, but I'm already outta High School now. Looking forward to college. Clinging on to memories of my Secondary 1, 2 and 3 years on that piece of junk land. And thinking where which building once stood. That this part must've been where we played long jump. What has become of BBGS? Only legacy and history to remain in our hearts.

Met Chang keat on my way back to Sungei Wang area from the stalls in front of Federal Hotel. Then we partied on the street in front of Sungei Wang. It was 1 something am, and we were there until around 2am, and when it ended, we walked to the car; Nick dropped seyin and home. But gawd. I should've just walked down the street from where I partied, and Dad's car was right there - waited for an hour. Unable to contact. And it's bizzare because he didn't even scold when we reached home at 3am. Just some miscommunication.

A year went by with so many unexpected happenings. Sorrow and pain. Tears shed. Happiness and joy. With hugs and handshakes. So many lessons learnt. And it all actually depends on how you look at that one happening.
