SALE!! aaand an excerpt from a soap opera -_-"

OMGosh it's a freaking SALE!!! up to 90% wei *eyes widen* There are Jodi Picoults & Nora Roberts (not that I'm a big fan of them, just making a point) marked down from RM 33 to RM8!!!

Okay now I just need someone to send me there. But I can always go by LRT... Apparently you can take Putra LRT line and get down at Taman Jaya LRT Station. *looks around in hopes of getting a lift*

A waaay too long break before my final 2 papers for A2 has left me with excessive time to recount and recount my marks (lost!) in my head over & over again... And rethink how I truly value myself. And of course how people value me too.

TRUTH:
Dad, though you tell me it's okay, I can take a course I like, but when I told you I applied for BioEng for all 5 UK unis, you gave me that usual "are-you-sure-it's-a-good-course" scoff. And yet you don't tell it to me straight to my face. And EVER SO SUBTLY hint that you want me to take pharmacy/medicine.

QUESTION:
Why are people so concerned about ACHIEVEMENTS? And why am I so concerned about MY achievement? Sometimes I feel that I score well to make myself worthy. Worthy of being who I've always appeared to be in front of relatives, friends etc... A hardworking, studious, does well in exams person. Obviously there's nothing wrong with that but. Why can't I be MORE than that?

I want to do amazing things. Things that will enrich my life. Touch people's lives. I envy those people braving heights, climbing Mt Everest though knowing very well that people have died in the process. Going on missionary trips to places I've never even known existed. Or even just spending a day in an old folks home, listening to their (mis)adventures in their youths so they can relive the moment.

Yes, that's it. I want some memory, a fragment of an out-of-this-world experience that I can share with my grandchildren.

GOSH this IS seriously an emo post! This is the FIRST time I actually feel like crying while writing a post. Maybe it's time for me to flip thru the Bible; God has an amazing way with words, serious :)

OKAY I'm fine now! *sniff*

5S2 Class gathering + Random shots

Psst. I think it's fair to say that King of Pop Michael Jackson got a lot more recognition for his music after his (tragic!) death. Before that, we were all to too absorbed in his scandalous child molestation lawsuits and jokes about his nose dropping off in an airplane. Heck, his moonwalk and 45 degree lean--timeless!


The secret to his 45 degree lean here.

Anyway went for 5S2 class gathering last night at Station 1 near Klang Parade. And just yesterday there was this rumour going on that someone got H1N1 flu at Klang Parade... I was pretty worried about it too since I'm paranoid and uhh.. forget it. I can go on and write 2 paragraph worth of ways to contract the flu.

Only 1 picture taken! Oops I forgot to remove red eye (and photoshop my double chin!) From left, clockwise: Grace, Sue Ann, Chee Ling, Me

Only around 20 something out of 46 people showed up, including couple of non-5S2-ians.

Absentees are either overseas or busy with studies... and some of the ones who showed up are going to leave Malaysia soon anyway. Good luck to everyone!

Random shots:

There's been a recent craze of Rubik's Cube. Around 80% of the gals in my class are almost "pro"s (but we cannot flip quickly like you see on tv though T.T)

WY being enviously looked on by Ah Loo

BS reminds you of something? "My preciousss...."

Times bookstore warehouse sale at Centro Klang today! Total damage: RM 54. Bet it's even cheaper than a copy of Stephenie Meyer!

Mom and I tried out our new oven with cupcakes! Though they looked kind of rough but there's still a sense of accomplishment when it tasted pretty okay :)

Feeling kind of fat now. Off to do some hula hoops!
