The New

1s August 2007, welcoming another new month in the year. A month filled with so many people's birthdays! Including the big fat but not so big country, Malaysia. I don't quite agree to celebrating Malaysia's Independence Day on 31st Aug though. Sarawak and Sabah joined Malaya and then there was Malaysia. But i dont think that was 31st Aug, or even 1957. 31st Aug was when Malaya gained independence. I'm not a 100% sure about my facts, haha. That 'kemerdekaan' topic was so Form 3. Apologies if I'm wrong. *crappppp talk*

Forget bout that. OK.. so many friends' bday! Including mine. hehe :D. The calendar in my cellphone has its August date numbers bolded to remind me of birthdays.

Sighs. Turning 16 soon.. big deal, rite? rite? haha.. there goes me, infected by the yellow culture (budaya kuning). How can I not? With E! on channel 76, celebrity news 24/7. lol. And other tv programmes and.. the internet.

Speaking of YELLOW, THE SIMPSONS!! Oh they're the most entertaining family in the world.. on-screen family.. 'fake, imaginary, animated' family. :P Can't wait to watch the m*donut*vie.

D'OH!

At Least I Enjoyed What I Did

I don't know. I think I just had the best PE period of the year.. well, Last week's treasure hunt was nice but I wasn't playing, was helping out.

Today was scheduled for dance but I saw some playing basketball and William was kicking a ball while I was making my way towards Pondok B. So, I decided to join the boys for football. haha.. I haven't played it for a long time and today, I had fun all right. I was running, well not really running up and down the court but I perspired! -more today than on any other PE lesson. Kicking the ball felt good. It's kinda like kicking it and letting out that angry feeling at the same time.. haha

"Darn football, lemme kick you!"

Something like that.. :P Gee, some Form 6 boys were watching us play and they were annoying to me though. Cheering stuff like "Eh amoi bla bla.." I didn't like that, coming from them. Sounded more like .. teasing? lol. So what if I'm a girl? I just wanna play some soccer. . But.. I won't really mind if my boy friends teased me that way. cause I know who they are and their intentions. They're fun, funny and fun. :) I love those boys.. haha. Oh come one, I love my friends.

In the end, my team won 4-2.. or was it 4-1.. haha. In conclusion, we won. William, Nazwan aka Legolas-san, jeremy, samuel and I were on the winning team, beating Wei Yei and Co. (Dennis, Bernard, Nate, Ambrose).. No ugly fight scenes or whatsoever. It was a clean, good game overall. Now my shoes look like.. almost look like chocolate brownies. :P I was on my way back to class after PE lesson ended and I bumped into Melvin.. He said something and it made me laughed cause he IS funny. He can't make a 'not funny' expression on his face. So he said this: "You look like a tomato." haha... I'd laugh everytime think of that.. Well, my face was all blushed up, pinkish-reddish cause I've been playing.. you get the picture, right?


Oh, how running around the basketball court made me feel like a 5 year-old girl again.. lol. Sighs..

I Carry Your Heart

I Carry Your Heart With Me

by E.E. Cummings

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart)

i am never without it (anywhere i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)

i fear

no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)

i want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)

and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant

and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows

higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

Another poem from 'In Her Shoes'.

Try to find time for fun. Cheers mate.

One Art

I watched 'In Her Shoes' last night and there were poems in it. I thought why not share it with everyone :)

One Art

The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.

I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.

---Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

Deep Poop

I'm in deep shi*. haha. Morale project is due on Wednesday, today's Monday and I haven't written anything yet. I've planned a schedule for me to follow in this 11th hour but I don't follow it. What a waste of time. I shouldn't be here either. But, how can I resist internet? haha.

A little prayer:
O God, please help me. I'm so lost and I can't think straight.
I pray for your blessings.
Amen.

A Different Kind of Sunday

A scene from Sunday morning. That's EC's stall right there, across your face! Lol.

My church had a food fair/parish sale over the weekends. I was a part of it for the first time under the EC, a part of it as in 'helping out'.. haha. As usual, I was supposed to leave my house around 730am as I planned to but being the girl that I am, I always end up leaving later than planned.

"Women aren't always late. It's just that things start so early."

So I left around 10 minutes before 8. My place is less than 10 minutes drive away from church and I was suppose to be there before 8. Now...I don't remember what time I reached church but it doesn't matter anyway. haha. Stepped outta the car, my glasses were blurry so I took 'em off and went to search for my friends. Luckily I went in the right direction. :P After that, everyone 'kui kang' lo. EC set up a game stall. Darts, guns.. wow. Sure got the boys high. Lol. kidding. I don't how else to describe that morning.. it was hot, kinda crowded.. some parts were funny.

Lucky draw for a remote controlled helicopter. Only RM2!

Note: I didn't crop the top, it's the roof :P

Marching to promote.

I went to attend mass at 10am and at around 956am, I went to play the darts game. Thanks to a kind little girl who spared me a coupon so that I could have a taste of throwing darts at koi fishes. Fake ones of course. The fish were printed, just like a portrait lar.. So, I got to pick 2 prizes 'cause I won 2 prizes .. (?) lol.. I gave one to the little girl and I kept one for myself. haha.. I felt mean for not giving her the toy. haha.. oh well, she had one already.. oh man, I'm such a 'lau gu'. I am, kinda. When mass ended, I went back out (of the church) .. As Father Chua drawed for the lucky, REALLY LUCKY winners of 6 quite good-looking and beautiful guitars, Lovelyn, Monica and I were waiting anxiously near that place where Father was, hoping AT LEAST one of us won.. haha. Right. None of us kena, Monica's number was so close! Only 3 numbers away. Hers was 396 and the draw was 393. 'LONG PIAK AR!'

The Sunday School's stall. No mistake, that's Grace, Simon, Sophia (partially hidden) and Natasha.

Went back at 12 something, ate lunch and hamplang myself onto my bed.. Zzzz till 5.

So many friggin' projects and homework. Teachers, give us a break lah.. I haven't done my add maths homework for 3 weeks if I'm not mistaken and now there's an add maths project. Apuuuuuuu...
