I'm home!! *smiles*
The ballet was beautiful - I like the Gipsy Dance best. I found myself appreciating the accompanying music more than ballet..It could've been because I was never brought up into liking ballet, but it's amazing the way they could dance so gracefullly and i don't think I could be half as graceful as they are. They have pieces by Tchaikovsky and Minkus and Soloviov. The dinner wasn't anything special though; we just have a nearer view and have tables with white tablecloths and food and drinks. The boring part was when we had dinner, they played Russian songs which I don't know how to sing. During a 15 minutes intermission they played some music which, finally, are some familiar songs.
Reached about half past six in the evening, placed our luggage and settled down a while in our hotel room. We have two free rooms on the topmost floor of the hotel, and it was really awesome because we could actually open the windows and feel the clouds.
Se Yin and I played with the camcorder a while. Seven fifteen went down straight to the Arena of Stars. Dad met a few of his friends, and I had to bear a while with all the uncles-and-aunties' chat. When it ended, Se Yin and I get changed and spent two hours at Coffee Bean - chatting and drinking our regular Ice-blended Mocha. We met saw the ballet dancers at the lobby; but of course they don't even know us.
We stayed awake the whole night, chatting away. Finally at 3:30, we decided instead of wasting time like that we'll finish up Math homework And guess what? I only have 2 hours sleep. So right now, I'm actually feeling a little unwell. A little bizarre. I still have to rush my Bio practical and read up for the upcoming test next week, with eyes half shut. Maybe I'll get a nap or else I don't know if I'll be able to put up with the dinner tonight.
I wish we'll have the atmosphere like Genting Highlands in KL. It's 17.5°C up there at 8 A.M. I think the thing I like best there will have to be the breeze. It's like they have air conditioners in the car park. Okay… well I haven't been there in ages :P
I will have to miss a birthday party because I have obligations.
Dad bought tickets to the National Russian Ballet - Revival Concert Tour, as a compliment to the organizer, his friend. It's one of the PS2 seats which is the one with Cocktail Canape, inclusive of a glass of wine & free flow of soft drinks per person, or so dad said, inclusive of dinner. It was described as "captivating", "colourful", "enchanting" and "memorable". *puzzled* oh, well, at least it isn't one of the terrace seats I'll have to suffer ;) It may sound kinda cool, but frankly, I never have interest in Ballet and watching people dance :|
No offence, but I still haven't learn to appreciate these yet.. well maybe one day I'll learn. I'd rather be partying at a birthday party with a number of unknown people rather than going to watch boring concert which I don't even have familiar songs to sing along to.

I’m getting a bit bored with my hand phone now… :P These days we had been fiddling with Yvonne’s new phone, snapping pictures of each other silently and later show the class and laugh about it, and then try our best to make our dreadful looking picture deleted. And play bounce until we get bored.
I went for tuition today. It was, well…beneficial, and yeah, it had never came to me that I’d ever be attending tuitions in College, but I that’s what I am doing right now. He is the funniest looking teacher I’ve ever seen in my whole life… he looked so hip and retro! He's wearing this wig and dressing up like he's in the 60's. And put on his sunshades while he's teaching.
When I was a kid, I used to think my parents are so busy and they don’t even have time for me. Eventually, I got used to it and never complain anymore. But lately I started thinking of how much we’ve missed out on just being so busy with our own life; even though we still have family outings and all. There was a time back then when I just couldn’t get along with mom. I fought with her almost every day, over the smallest little problem. She was misunderstood, but I only think I was the one who was. Perhaps it takes a little adjustment and getting used to. Mom had suddenly started sitting down for chats when she comes home, and we’ll talk about a lot of things. Like asking about if Celine sent any mails, or what she told her on phone when she called her the night before. We’ll talk about guys, college, people in general, and she’ll buy me things I want.
We had quite a number of family outings lately. It was supposed to be just breakfast with Mom, Dad and Se Yin the Sunday before last week. We went downtown for breakfast - I had to sit at a place where the sun shone right down on my back. Ended up, Mom suggested a look at the exhibition a National Art Gallery on the Dialogue with Nature by Mr. Daisaku Ikeda. Nice photographs, but I’ve seen most of them before in the small book. Then we stopped by at KLCC. Se Yin and I had Ice-blended Mocha after walking around the mall with my parents. Coincidentally, we met Grandma, uncle and aunt. We had Sushi for tea break back home. Dad doesn’t usually follow us to super mart, but when he did, we’ll be having a super mart spree; and we had one on Saturday. And on Sunday we had dinner at Saisaki, I ate so much I almost couldn't move! :P

if it were last year-end, I’d be enthusiastically wishing I could go out somewhere in the weekends, or holidays when I’m almost bored to death at home. Bintang Walk, or maybe Mid Valley. I’d want to Bowl and play Pool, or sing karaoke, or just walk around the malls. I still go out every weekend in January when college first started. After all, we were free enough to spare the weekends after a whole week of studies.
I don’t know… maybe it’s because I’ve finally gotten myself out of the habit since almost everyone doesn’t want to go out anymore after the news of SARS came by. And maybe it’s also partly because I spent too much lately, by month end; I don’t have much cash in hand.
Chemistry class yesterday was amusing. We were learning on 'Reactions of chlorides with water’. Teacher asked us the reaction of sodium chloride and water, and the first thing that came to our mind was sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid! And it couldn’t possibly be. She asked, “so, actually what’s sodium chloride?” and everyone instantly said synchronically that it’s table salt. If the reaction we said is true, we’ll all be drinking acid and alkaline. lmao. We stayed back a few extra minutes in the class, threw Chun Yan a last-minute-surprised-Birthday-Party. We brought a cake, and some plastic fork during break time. All of us were so absurdly singing the birthday song in the dark.
I was almost going to start talking about..ugh, crayons and colorpencils, have I not found what to post. Don't ask me "why that?" cause I really don't know. I am really, really bored. And I meant really, really, really bored to the extreme. Apparently, all the adrenaline rush up to my brain (and i died) few days ago. I had been waking up to strange dreams - I suppose stress is the culprit *wicked grin* well, *step step on stress*.
I spent last evening at Bangsar with seyin and two other friends. We had ice-cream at Geláre, and dinner after that. It was grand, because we have so much to catch up on. So today I woke up and finished my Math homework, and then now I thought I should just sit around and do nothing. We had Bio presentation two consecutive Friday, which was last week - on Heart and Cardiac Cycle, and yesterday on EFAs and EAAs. I thought that was the boring-est topic on earth, but after all it isn't all that bad. I have tests coming up after the holidays *smirks*.
And I was going to post more than just that song the other day but I got so tired and I wasn't in the mood. So, basically I was sad. My dog have tumors. We considered an operation on removing those tumors, but it would mean putting her life at risk. Since she's so old now, we thought we should just let things slide. She's still very much alive and mischievous now. I <3 her a lot cause she's been with me for almost 9 years. I was heartbroken cause my dad's Flowerhorn fish was lying sideways; with backbone broken. It's such a waste but that's life. I don't know why I could get all that sentimental over it cause I used to hate it a lot. No, the song wasn't to mourn for the fish.
Anyway, plugs to Marion who's also got a LoTR featuring Eowyn and I love this green Legolas layout by Alli. Comments plug: Ruz (ooh, yeah I love that song!).
I am having a two weeks holiday, yay.
