I've been feeling v sleepy and tired these past few days. Still getting used to going back to school again. And I've been having a little bit of flu. Must really sleep early and take care of myself.
Gotten back all the Block Test results. Well... I got exactly the same marks as I did in promos. So I had another ABCD. Was quite disappointed especially with Econs, but oh well, at least I maintained my grades.
Just tried on the skirt that we're going to wear for competition. And now I realise that it's really very very short! I thought it wasn't that short when I tried it on last week, but now I think it's going to be as short as last year's one. Oh man! At least this time, the colour is much nicer and it's a proper skirt, not a wrap-around one.
Why are the nice movies coming out now? As if I've the time to watch them now. Scooby Doo 2 was out on Thursday. I know it's quite a childish movie, but I used to always watch Scooby Doo when I was small. Then The Passion of The Christ is going to be released on 1 April, and it's going to coincide with Good Friday, I think. But it's M18 and that means, I can't watch it. Bleah...
I think watching American Idol is part of the reason I'm sleeping late nowadays. I think this season's one is quite exciting, in that there're like so many different people who can win the competition. I mean last season, it was obvious that it was going to be either Ruben or Clay. And this season, I think the people are also better-looking. I like quite a few people... Jasmine, Camile, JPL, John Stevens and Fantasia (though I think she's got an attitude problem). LaToya is ok, but I think she looks old. Anyway, I can't believe that my parents are actually watching this too! I guess it must be quite huge also back home. When I went back home last year, I remember I was watching an episode of the second season. The third season is now being shown, and my parents are hooked on it. Hehe.
THE REASON (Hoobastank)
I'm not a perfect person
As many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you (x4)
I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you
Helped out with ushering today at Shineforth with the rest of sunday school class people. Must say it was quite an experience and it was pretty fun! Training's also getting better, I think that's cos Wahid is getting crazier everytime. Like yesterday, he kept on telling me I was too soft-hearted and I must not be too gentle cos we're playing tennis and not dancing... He really has weird analogies. And he kept calling Shuping, and sometimes the rest of us, "baby" and honey", which were really hilarious. Went shopping for the attire for competition yesterday with some of the girls. I like the top..I think it's quite cool. And the skirt too..it matches the top well, though it's pretty short, but still, I'm quite sure it's not as short as last year's. Last year's one was quite horrendous, I think.
Anyway, MU won 3-0! So happy! And they managed to keep a clean sheet too! And oh..Michael Schumacher also won! Haha.. Barrichello came in fourth..not a bad day for Ferrari huh? Haha.. but Montoya came in second, and Raikkonen retired again. Oh well.. but still.. quite happy.. at least better than last week..
Today's the last day of holidays..
Now, everytime I read sports news, I always see articles on MU being so far behind Arsenal and stuff... Why must I always be reminded that MU just lost 1-4? Argh! To make things worse, Lin Dan won the All-England title..three of us wanted Peter Gade to win. Oh well... Anyway, I think I really am getting sick, which is bad. I really felt feverish this morning when I woke up. I really hope that has nothing to do with the mosquito bites I've been getting a lot recently..really v scared of dengue fever.
I hate it when I suddenly bite my lip when eating. It's extremely painful and I'd start feeling angry about the whole thing. Not to mention that ulcers take some time to heal. Sigh..
I was actually supposed to have gone for class chalet, but decided not to go in the end cos I was too tired from training. Slept the whole afternoon..been sleeping a lot lately. Don't think I'm that tired, but don't know why I've been sleeping a lot. The weather doesn't help either..it's been pouring lately and it just makes me want to sleep. And I think I'm getting sick..I've been sneezing and blowing my nose the past few hours. Sigh. Not a good way to spend the holidays.. I've a feeling that I won't be able to spend much time doing the stuff I want to do on my own during the holidays, with much of the time taken up for training and other stuff. Went for my Sunday school class BBQ last night. The food was gorgeous..ate non-stop..I was totally bloated afterwards. Must thank the teachers really.. they can all really cook..and also the guys.. haha they were the ones who cooked the food and they were the ones who were also supposed to finish the food cos they were just so much food. Got to know people better also, so it was good. Oh and the teachers were like telling the girls that we should marry someone who's studied abroad before..cos then the guys can cook well. Hehe.
I've just registered for SAT II. It's much more expensive than SAT I, so I really really must do well this time so that I don't have to retake again. Sigh..I'm really getting uncertain about my future now. It's like well..it's getting closer to end of the year and I really have to decide what to do and which schools to apply for. I've kind of already made up my mind on what to do, but haven't decided which schools to apply for.. only have like 2 in mind. And I have to apply after Prelims. Sigh..this is not good. I don't know how it'll feel like being in a faraway place with no one familiar to turn to. I don't know whether I'll be able to cope with it...
I've been watching lots of American Idol recently. Have watched last week's and this week's episodes for the past 2 days and I'm going to watch another one tonight. I'm surprised I'm not sick of it. I think the producers are quite bad showing an episode of the Idol rejects. I don't think they planned on doing it. They probably did it after seeing how popular William Hung become. Speaking of him, I can't believe that he's got a record deal! Seriously..
I don't know why I like to include song lyrics in my blog. It's like whenever I come across lyrics that are meaningful and sort of inspire me, I'd post them. Guess it's just becoming a habit..
STAY THE SAME (Joey McIntyre)
Don't you ever wish
You were someone else
You were meant to be
The way you are exactly
Don't you ever say
You don't like the way you are
When you learn to love yourself
You're better off by far
And I hope you always stay the same
Cause there's nothing 'bout you I would change
I think that you could be
Whatever you wanted to be
If you could realize
All the dreams you have inside
Don't be afraid
If you've got something to say
Just open up your heart
And let it show you the way
Don't you ever wish
You were someone else
You were meant to be
The way you are exactly
Don't you ever say
You don't like the way you are
When you learn to love yourself
You're better off by far
And I hope you always stay the same
Cause there's nothing 'bout you I would change
Believe in yourself
Reach down inside
The love you find will set you free
Believe in yourself
You will come alive
Have faith in what you do
You'll make it through
Don't you ever wish
You were someone else
You were meant to be
The way you are exactly
Don't you ever say
You don't like the way you are
When you learn to love yourself
You're better off by far
And I hope you always stay the same
Cause there's nothing 'bout you I would change
Cause there's nothing 'bout you I would change
Don't change
Haven't updated for quite a while..was studying, sort of, for Block Test. So glad it's just all over! I'm pretty excited about the hols, which start tomorrow..don't know why. It's been one really fast term..can't believe it.
A Level results were released last week, together with the AO results. I got a B3 for Malay. Oh well..kind of expected it. I was shivering cold and hungry during Paper 2 and almost didn't finish the paper..plus I think I wrote crap for my compo..so.. But was quite disappointed. I guess deep down I'd wanted an A2 at least. And I was the only one to get a B..the rest got A, so that makes it more disappointing. But good thing is, I don't have to take Malay anymore. So I'm really happy about that.
Formula 1 season has started. So happy it was a Ferrari 1-2 at the Australian GP! :) My brothers were quite, well.. unhappy, about it cos they're not Ferrari fans. They both support Kimi, but I think they just support anyone who's not connected to Ferrari. Haha..it was just one of those rare times where I could torment both of them. Then of course MU crashed out of Champions League. Was really sad yesterday morning. I just happened to watch the match when I was having breakfast cos I taped the match. My brother just had to rewind to the part just before the free-kick. I was quite happy at that time cos it was 1-0 to MU. Then they were like showing all the downcast faces of the Porto fans. Next thing I knew..Porto scored, in the 90th minute, and MU's out! And then they showed the faces of MU fans. Like what a contrast! How cruel..Oh well..at least Juve also crashed out. Hopefully MU can win the Double and silence all those gooners. I'm quite confident MU can beat Arsenal in FA Cup..don't know why..but I just think they can.
Oh well..feeling high all of a sudden..
