When reality catches up

"Add Maths test.

 English Paper. 

 Social Study worksheet.

 Unpack.

 Study.

 Extra lessons.

O levels."

This is reality.

All this sums up to: Less sleep and more work.

Those are the first things that banged into my mind the moment I set foot in Singapore.  They literally pulled me from the clouds above where I can still smell the hint of the abalone soup I just had yesterday. Like a magnet that draws one thing to another, the pile of homework keeps getting higher and the to-do list seems unending.

Time is so unforgiving. It would be a miracle if I am able to hand up my homework tomorrow and still not fall asleep in class. 

P.S I had a terrible haircut. Don't comment on it if you see me. C:

if all clocks turn anti-clockwise

I had the pleasure of watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, at least, half of it and I must admit, it was not what I had expected. The dwarf actor that portrayed Benjamin in the first half of the movie was incredible. His decipher of his character was thorough and he could easily bested Brad Pitt who is acting the same character in the second half.

The story, so far, is about a baby who was born with wrinkly skin and the life of an 80 year-old man. Sad? You bet. His dad wanted to throw him into the river but somehow he ended up in an old folks home. A kind woman working in the home took him in and showered him with all the love his parents never gave him. When she first held the baby in the living room to introduce it to the old folks, one of the women commented. "Oh my, he looks just like my dead/ex- husband". It was out of the blue and a light of humour in the hour of bleakness. C: Kind souls. Bless them.

His body's aging process is biologically reversed which means he's growing younger day by day and I'm predicting that he will die a young baby. No, I have not have the opportunity to finish the movie yet. :C But whatever happened to him in the end, he led a full and interesting life.

Imagine if all our biological clocks turn backwards, we'll all be born ugly and die beautiful. Which would mean that we're practically useless our first 10 years on crutches or wheelchair and then spend our remaining lives productively. An 80 year-old lady could might as well be a model. Imagine that. That would be cool, wouldn't it? If I were to born old and ugly and then die young, wow, my obituary would have a really gorgeous picture of me. C: Haha. But wouldn't it make us vain if we were to look so young at such an age? Most probably at that time, people would start making movies about how to STOP Time instead of reversing It to freeze their moment of youth.

Wait, we have Botox.... Guess that movie's not going to be made unless the title were to be "BOTOX".

Cheers!

It's not to late for atonement

It is the Chinese New Year celebration. Sacrificing beauty sleep and comfort, we-which would mean the 5 of us- had a neck-cramming journey to our grandparents' house which starts at 5 pm in the morning. Not that we really care anyway for we were still too dazed at the early hour to feel irritated. We hopped on the car and started off our journey with out maid crammed in you 5 seated car. C: We dropped her off at a toll for our uncle to fetch her to our grandparent's house. After she car-pooled at my uncle's car, we had more space and thus started our sleeping.... uh adventure?. C: That's the best time to travel honestly, with the sky still dark and the sun not up yet. I couldn't guarantee that I didn't snore but I am darn right Gie Mei slept with her mouth dangling open. I laid my head on my brother's shoulder and sometimes on the car's window's pane. Yeah, I can't believe I'm actually sleeping on his shoulder. He's grown so much already! At that moment, I wish time wouldn't pass so fast.It's making me nervous to think that at the next moment I could be in the examination hall doing my O level's papers. Let's stop at that and not spoil the CNY mood that i've been trying to keep up.C:

We stopped at Bidor and dined at a kopitiam. We ordered our must-eat-everytime-we-come-back-to-Ipoh Wantan noodles. And......... waited for 45 minutes for our 5 plate of noodle which we chow down in 5 minutes. No kidding! And kids don't try this at home. Warning: Choking Hazard.

When we reached our destination, the sight of my grandparents, especially my grandmother, made my heart skipped a beat. She looked so pale and sick with heavy eye bags which I later described her as an "albino needing sleep badly" to my cousin. It really rend my heart looking at her so frail. I hugged her lightly but my heart felt as heavy as lead. Tears threatened to flow out at that frozen moment.

We out everything from the car and placed them in our designated room.After that, I went to help out at the kitchen. My mum made me peel the potatoes and there I sat for 40 minutes *could be longer*. When my grandmother came to offer her help, all the women in the kitchen told her to not move around so much as her feet is swollen. It didn't made her feel any better when my mum asked her to peel potatoes with me at the dining hall. My grandmother needs to move around and feel useful. Right now she's feeling really useless and it's pulling her down. I told my mother about it but she said my granny has to get use to it in the future. I kept my silence at the truth of my mum's words but wouldn't allow myself to think more than that.

Perhaps to justify herself, she decided to test the water and guess what she did? She took the bike's keys and jab it into the initiator. My heart was beating wildly against my chest at that time. But my uncles and aunts were all calm. My head screamed " WHY AREN'T THEY DOING ANYTHING TO STOP HER?!?!" but no words came out. I rushed to my mum and told her that but she brushed me off lightly and told me to ask my dad to advise her. By the time I went to dad, she had already taken off, with the reason she's wants to buy something. I wasn't going to buy that and I didn't.

The time waiting for her to come back felt like light years. When the sound of her bike hit my eardrums, I felt as though the room had been lit up brighter and the birds had just started to sing again. Now i've learned how people felt like while waiting for someone you love to come back. Although I do not prefer it this way which concerns my grandmother.

I had a very deep conversation with my cousin, Bell. We concluded that we see our friends differently now. We both get pissed off when we hear our friends cursing their parents for being annoying and in some extreme cases " My mum's a bitch" or " My dad's a real asshole". It pains us to hear those words even if they do not concern us. There are MILLIONS of orphans out there,people! AND YOU HAVE BOTH YOUR DADDY AND MUMMY THAT DOTES ON YOU! IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP! I think life's too short to be pissed off at your colleagues, boss, parents, friends, teachers, classmates and whoever you can think of. If you're going to hate and bitch at everyone that tipped you off once, you're leading a SAD SAD life. Think of the children in Haiti. You're complaining that you're not getting the Converse shoes that your parents had promised you. The unfortunate kids at Haiti are not wearing shoes and not complaining about it. You're complaining that your parents aren't letting you out to have fun. The kids in Haiti have got no parents. People, treasure the people around you. You never know when they'll be gone.

"I complained about not having the pair of the latest pair of heels until I saw a man without feet"

Maybe time and death had really forced me to mature faster than I expected. If you hadn't said "I love you" to your loved ones, start now. Give your mum and dad a hug or kiss before it's too late.

Ly-En had been providing me daily entertainment. Yee Jia had been injecting healthy doses of Phineas and Fern into me. Thu.... well, Thu is just Thu. Thank the Gods above. I do not know since when, but Albertus started to hang out more than usual with us now. He's part of the crap but awesome group.  Cheers!

We have nicknames for everyone.

Albert: Gicabirdle, a cross breed of giraffe, cat, bird, and turtle.

Ly-En: Pog, a cross breed of pig and uh... something intriguing.

Yee Jia: Jigglypuff from Pokemon.

Chang Won: The PMS guy that hails all the way from South Korea.

Well, the teachers are not spared from mercy too. *snicker!*

One of them is called Donald Duck, another once is called The N*d*, one of them called

So far my exams results are.... so so i guess. ☹

I don't remember my Malay marks so who cares. 

I just came back from running at the tracks today. Stamina went swirling down. I can't blame it on anyone, considering I hadn't ran for such long time. 

By the way, Mum said if I dropped 1 or 2 sizes, I get to revamp my wardrobe! But apparently my gicabirdle said I CMI which pissed me off a bit. Albert, you better watch your back, I'll always just a shadow away. *sweetest smile*

That's all for today. I've got to start finishing off my worksheets now. 

Bye, people!

Happy Birthday Jack!!! ♥

Hmm, today i'll post a bit. Nothing much happened. Well, I had Chemistry test today. I think i can pass but to attain high scores is another question.  Tomorrow I will be participating in the boarding school's basketball match. I'm not sure how it will turn out. Most of other teams area all guys and are their school's top players. 

Today, this post will be dedicated to my special childhood friend. His name is Jack. I knew him since we were both 5. Wow! That makes us friends for a decade already! I'm sorry i can't be with you to celebrate this year. ☹ Doesn't time pass really fast? In just a blink of an eye, we've both been good friends for 10 years. Well, even as time continue to past, you'll always have a place in my heart. ♥

After all, you're my

Own Personal Amiable Giant

Well, as a final word, Happy Birthday!

Lots of love from your childhood friend,

Ivanka.

Tests. Tests.. Tests...

Sorry, I'll be on hiatus. Too much studies to catch up and upcoming tests. 

Lots of love,

Ivanka ♥

Double Makeover ♥

   Today could be the one of the best day ever. I finally did something that I never thought I would do. I finally got a haircut that I want. A haircut that i like. A haircut that I love. And most importantly, a haircut that I designed myself. You might wonder how in the world did I suddenly get myself a haircut.

Chronologically:-

1. The Awesome Asshole was having a dilemma on whether to get her hair cut yesterday.

2. She was still in dilemma the next morning when we got to school.

3 I made a on-the-spot decision, "Okay, why not I go cut with you?"

4 Lydia a.ka Chad was waiting for us at Clementi Central.

5. We went into the shop. Its one of those $10 for 10 minutes per haircut.

6. The hairdresser starts to cut my hair and also Ly-en's hair.

That's how its happened. Its was a spur on the moment. I didn't tell my mum about it....yet. *cheeky* Well, I couldn't fathom what she might say if I told her that i had just gotten myself a haircut. 

After the haircut, we -me.ly-en.lydia.yee jia*she tagged along*- hovered around the area to hunt for hair wax. Me and Ly-en will learn how to style our hair from Lydia. Woohoo~ I just love my hair. My hair looks cool right? Right? Right? Right? Say YES! :) 

Ly-en's hair is really cute! She has few locks of hair pointing out on her crown. She was wearing yellow too. She was a perfect picture of a Tweety Bird! Credits to Yee Jia.

This is how i look like after my hair cut. I love my hair!

*squeal*

Tag me if you love my hair too! Gee, i'm starting to sound like the narcissistic Ly-en. Haha. Okay i'll post Ly-en Tweety hair when i've got a mug shot of her. 

The Awesome One Turned 16

Chin Ly-en, the asshole next door, safely celebrated her 16th birthday today. With blurry and droopy eyes, she had a dumb smile plastered across her face when i greeted her "Happy Birthday" in the morning. As expected from the princess, she couldn't wake up even when her alarm clock screeched and scream for 5 minutes continuously. Extraordinary ears.

There you go. That's the birthday girl.

We managed to reach school. It's still a wonder to me on how we had not gotten late to school before. 

Reaching school, everyone started throwing wishes at her. The spotlight is on you, dear.

To Ly-en the Asshole,

As your good and faithful roomie, I would like to thank you for all the sarcasm that coloured my daily life. Your undoubtedly perfect pitched singing *ahem* that bamboozled gracefully through my eardrums had constantly "entertain" me to no ends. Although i know that you have a fetish on me, but i shall take this opportunity to appreciate your undivided love for me. Yep, i know you do love me. As of the good supply of DVDs, thanks for the awesome videos. We both love the phrase "Who's calling at this ungodly hour?" and never fail to laugh on it. Lastly, I know I always deny that I miss you when the holidays. Well, when i say "I don't miss you", well you just keep in mind that i always mean the opposite. Okay? Despite all the torture you put me through- that includes your singing, calling me fat, and so on- you now know i love you too. ♥

Okay i'm not repeating that anymore. So don't get too smug. Hehe.

P.S I know what to get you for your bday. Just wait patiently for it. Hugs♥

P.S.S I'll upload the pics tomorrow. Internet's a bit slow.

After two days of Oh-So-Good sleep.

Kuala Lumpur was where I spent most of my day today. It’s kind of general, isn’t it? Anyway, to be exact we went to Suria KLCC at first. After a agitating journey to the ever- famous twin towers, we went parking hunting. It’s was not long before we found a parking space. It’s Mum’s super powers again. Let me tell you something about my family.

 

1.     1. Dad never drives the car when looking for a car park.  Reason? Look at number 2.

2.     2. Mum always finds a car park in 10 minutes. J

 

So we travelled on the escalator and went up and up and up to the ever- the- same Petrosains. Mum wanted to show our Singaporean visitors Petrosains. However luck was not with us today as the ticketing counter was overflowing with people too. We were told that, to enter the centre, we would have to go in at 2 pm. Mum went berserk. “HAR?! Pukul dua baru boleh masuk?!?!” said Mum, her big dolly eyes bulged with surprise.  She reluctant to leave the place at first but relented in the end. So we got out of the building to the green park through the Suria KLCC entrance. Upon exiting the building, we were greeted by a man made lake with fancy displays of fountains. We did the usual stuff. Snap photographs and commenting on the place.

 

We, the youngsters were getting impatient. Mum, being the sensitive one, suggested that we all go to Times Square that moment. I rejoiced at the proposition. J It has been ages since I last went to a theme park. We drove there. Wait, I mean Mum drove us there! *we’re underage, so we don’t have license yet* Anyway, when we reached there, we realized that our tummies were growling in protest. We went around fishing for food before agreeing to eat pizza at Papa John’s. My, it was scrumptious! The spaghetti was so cheesy and creamy that the feeling lingered in my mouth after each spoon. J Pizza was nice. Compared to Pizza Hut, this is awesome. No oil in the pan and no fatty essence oozing out of the pizza.

 

Went up to the theme park. Bought the tickets and went in. I was immediately disappointed as the cashier told me that the DNA Mixer is closed for maintenance. Sigh, I came all the way for that damned ride!

 

We took the opportunity to take a ride on one of the amusement attraction, something that resembled a wave that goes round and round and round, as our appetizer. Maybe it should be called “Merry- Go- Wave”. J Right after we got off the ride, the visitors that we brought along (my Mum’s friend and her two sons from Singapore) had rather funny response towards the ride. The lady was so nauseous that she went to throw up in the next 5 minutes when I and her two sons went for another ride.  This time, the structure of the amusement ride is a very tall pillar, which has four extensions attached to it. A circle of seats is attached to the four extensions. The circles of seats will then spin while the four extensions will revolve around the pillar meanwhile going high up at the same time. It was quite an exhilarating ride. J

We tried out other rides too. Everyone was too chicken to accompany for the roller- coaster, which was the theme park’s main attraction. They freaked out at the sight of people screaming in fear, L which pissed me off. In the end I took the ride myself. The man sitting next to me was really nice. He told me to just relax and the ride would be over very soon. Boy, it was so awesome! I screamed a bit here and there through out the ride.

 

After a while, we went out of the theme park and met up with our parents and drove back home. We had a hearty dinner and went home. I suppose that summed up my day.
