CCRRRAAACCCK!!!

The title above can mean a list of a billion things but I'll break it down to one. My head is burning with this fire and the expansion cracked it. Simple? Exaggerated? YES YES and YES.

Why am I writing threee yes's for two questions? I don know. Or I do know. Why am I writing so many spelin mistakes? I dON't know an I do know!! I'm angry or maybe more of upset which has the almost the same meaning as fed up which is pretty close to the word angry and yet different. ArGJH! I'm Fed up. Fed Ex. haha. wait.. why am I joking when I'm angry!??! argh!! Okay, you got me! I'm smiling now even though me whole brain is all upsidownnnny. What? I can't help it!

Okay. Now, I'm calm. XD still don't know why I'm posting this...

Just forget the crap in the paragraph above, it's just there for decoration. (not really)

I'm posting this post in a crazy manner maybe because of New year's Day...you know all that EXCITEMENT!.

But I think it's because I think I'm a wimp. Why I think I'm a wimp? because many ppl think I'm a wimp. And I feel it's okay to be one. Give me confidence and I get annoying and proud. Give me humility and I become quiet and annoying. So I figure it's better to be a wimp than a proud snot. I'm not sure what snot means. but for me it means person in a negative sense. And I'm getting tired of being a loser. What can I do? nothing. HAHAHAHa!! YESH. SO I'll be me forever.

But I thank God so much. I could have fallen down a stairs and got Permanent head damage but God help my hand grab onto a bar and stop myself. I could have fallen into a pond from a mini rocky cliff near a waterfall and drowned but God increased my feet's frictional stuff and my sister's hand's grabbing speed and I didn't.

Conclusion: this is a crazy post in conjunction with new year. Happy 2011.

The Malaysian Football/Soccer Team

I've been wanting to blog about them ever since I saw them beat Vietnam 2-0. Awesome win right?

By now, the Malaysian team has already won their first AFF Suzuki Cup, beating Indonesia 4-2 on aggregate. Congratulation! I'm very happy for them, because a few years back they were pretty down. As a Malaysian, I had course had this hope to see my country's football team playing and winning international tournaments. And there was this ultimate hope of seeing them as world cup champions. = )

I have always wanted to see this team make Malaysia proud at a international level; and they have done it. So, this post is dedicated to the football team for all the hard work you all have done, and for all the disappointments you guys went through before finally clinching victory. I can really see teamwork in the way they played in both of the final legs, and I know they tried really hard. But sometimes I feel the Malaysian Football team is a bit too generous. I mean they are not greedy enough to keep on going for goals and more goals and more goals to torture their opponents. Ha ha. I don't feel that's bad, but I certainly hope the slight decrease in aggressiveness isn't because of overconfidence.

I also want to say that I'm really sorry for Mr. Kunalan because he didn't manage to score a goal even though he tried so much. I saw him running up and down between the two ends of the fields. I'm not surprised he ran the distance of a marathon in that game. Anyway, he actually vowed to try to get a goal but I guess En. Safee Sali probably helped get a goal in his place. Another two persons to congratulate are Mr. K Rajagobal and En. Khairul Fahmi Che Mat. The chief coach of the Malaysian squad, Mr. Rajagobal really helped in building up the national team along with all the assistant coaches. The goalkeeper, En. Khairul, made plenty of saves that were vital for the Malaysian team's win. In fact, when En. Khairul was about to go for the Indonesian penalty around the 18th minute, Mr. Rajagobal told him to dive to the left. Sure enough, En. Khairul dived left and saved the shot from Indonesia's skipper Firman Utina. Amazing? You tell me.

Here are some photos:

I got interested in football by watching it on TV. So, if the Malaysian football Team plays well on TV, then they don't have to worry about more people getting interested in the game. So, by now I think we can be pretty sure we'll have plenty of talented football players in the future if the Malaysian Team keeps this up. Yea, maybe not all will be superstars, but there will be a few youths or children out there who are either have talent or train very hard and get into the one of the training squads like Harimau Muda.

So, keep up the good work, Malaysian footballers! Because in the eyes of many, you are actually role models to the young footballers. Not necessary footy fans, but all sport fans will be influenced and encouraged by you guys. And maybe in the near future, Malaysia might and just might be one of the world's football powerhouse. XD

I've been thinking...

And I feel that all this while I've not been really impacting this blog, I'm not making a difference in peoples lives through this blog. I've only been pleasing you-the reader. What I mean is that I've been doing nothing on this blog but write, write and write about things around me- events, holidays etc. etc. All this has started to become monotonous. I'm not saying that it's bad to be just that but I want to share. I finally want to share about what I think about this about that. Yea, I do share my thoughts but not very often.

I'm actually very happy when someone gives a comment here or a smile there. (Ru Yen, Ara, Mom thanks for commenting!) Maybe I feel this blog is boring. Yes. I do know that many of you are reading this blog. So since you are already here, can you please just waste a minute or two to leave a line on the screen? Ha ha.

Erm...now I don't know what to say. Alright, conclusion is that I'll be writing my views on news or other stuff from now on. Is it okay?

P/S: And thank you for reading my blog and staying with me all this time, I appreciate it!

Of Knuckles and Giants

Well this isn’t about any Plants vs. Zombies gargantua or Harry Potter trolls. I’m writing about the day my two friends and I went to visit our ex-school. Let’s just say we went there because we wanted to see some teachers and students we know. We wanted to walk down memory lane, so to say. Haha.

One reason I’m writing this is because I’ve finally understood why the older generations used to say that the younger pupils are getting shorter and shorter. There could be two factors we think that way. It’s either because we are growing taller or the younger pupils are getting smaller and smaller. It could be both, too. In fact, I’m short for my age, so for me to think that way you can guess how genuine that is. But I’m mostly referring to the standard 2s and 3s, because many standard 6 fellows are taller than me.

Speaking of standard 6 fellows, one of my friend had a younger brother in that school so while three of us were at his class, I just got into a very weird conversation with a standard 6 pupil I don’t know at all. He asked me whether I knew how to crack my knuckles and I said yes. Then he cracked his knuckles and asked me if I could do that. I was speechless. I honestly didn’t know what to say, and that’s saying something about my social skills. In fact, I kind of ignored him, apologizing quietly. Anyway, I got to meet my friend’s brother. Maybe I’ll see him next year. My PMR year. Sigh.

Before that we were just walking around the school and then finally my friend stated the fact that we were like giants compared to all the standard ones. I was literally watching my step half the time because I didn’t want to knock any of them by accident. Well, when I was standard 1, I actually had fun just weaving around everyone, like a motorcycle weaving through traffic - everyone has to look out for you while you don’t have a care in the world. No wonder this school made a rule that no one was allowed to run in the school compound. But we little ones just found a loop hole- we skipped instead.

Anyway, we did meet some teachers, too; Like my former English teacher, Mdm. Mag and My standard one class teacher, Mrs. Chia. I’m actually a bit disappointed that my standard 6 class-teacher had moved to another school after becoming the headmistress there. One teacher told us that the pupils nowadays are exposed to many, many new kinds of technology from a very young age. iPhones, Plasma TVs… you name it. Yea, that’s quite true. I was exposed to TV from a young age, too.

So that’s about my trip with my friends to m ex-school. I realized from this outing that my fluency with the Chinese language has declined tremendously. *Sigh* I’m very sorry, mandarin teachers. But what can I do? I speak mandarin not so often now.

Mandarin-I Need It...

"Aunty, 可以买一包鸡饭吗? 我的桌子就在那儿. erm....要黑鸡."

(Aunty, can I order a plate of chicken rice? My table is just over there. Erm...and I want black chicken(roasted chicken).) XD

Yep. That's about the conversation between hawker and me when I ordered chicken rice around three months back. Since that day, I realized that how important Mandarin is to me and how bad my pronunciation is starting to become. You see, many Chinese hawkers speak only cantonese, hokkien or mandarin (all these are Chinese dialects) and I only know mandarin because I went to a Chinese school.

So, no matter what, I have to hold on to some of my mandarin even though it is tough to study. I have no problem with conversing in mandarin it is just the Chinese grammar is getting harder the higher the level I go. So, in exams, I usually get a C in the Chinese paper =D. Some of my friends hate Chinese, and I kind of dislike it too. But at least they have other dialects to hold on to. I, however only have mandarin unless my parents teach hokkien or cantonese to me.

So, conclusion, mandarin is sometimes useful!!! XD

Skin and Blood

Nah, this isn't has nothing to do with vampires.

I think my skin has a problem. Every time I go under sun for about an hour it gets one shade darker. I don't mean just a bit darker, I mean I become roasted. I tried putting sun-tan lotion but that didn't work. Well, it should be normal to get tanned after bathing under the sun but I have seen people who just stay white even though they spend and hour under the sun-and they don't put any lotion, not even wear a cap.

So, something is wrong either with them, or with me. Yea, it could just be genes.

That's the main reason I'm writing this post. Just curiosity.

About the blood, well that's blood pressure. I got my blood pressure taken in school the other day and it was low. Which means I should eat more, etc. etc. But then my mum says I should get a second opinion.

From my view, it is better to be low then high, all I have to do is get angry more and eat more fat-simple right? Heh heh.

Comments are welcomed.

Spending Time With Yourself

Brrrrrrr...... The continuous hum of the vacuum cleaner was unusually distant. And I was deep in thought.

It is good to spend time-alone, as I've realized. Especially when you are doing housework. :)

The time you spend by yourself is the time to think. Thoughts and ideas somehow fly to you when you are not in a noisy environment. The light bulb always lights in my head more when I am alone and the atmosphere around me is constant, like someone plugged in more voltage into my brain. What I mean by a constant atmosphere is that there are no disturbances and distractions around. Just you your work. The gentle hum of a vacuum cleaner or the constant dripping of water in the background are examples of ideal condition for thinking. Yet, sometimes the ideas could be crazy. But they are still ideas, right?? I'm not trying to say that housework is fun, just good for meditation or thinking!

Anyway, I'm not absolutely certain that it will work for everyone. All I know is that the only way to find out is to try. Yet I'm pretty sure it won't work for school work because all your mind power used up for the exercises. So have a good time during your date with work!

Speaking about work, the holidays have arrived and many people are enjoyiing their long-awaited break from school. So, I'm wishing you a blessed holiday. Just don't forget the exams. Oh, I just had to spoil the moment, don't I?

Book Music

Have you ever read a book while listening to music? I am sure many of you have.

Well, I have been doing this on and off for quite some time. And I realized that I like it. Reading a book while listening to music is a good combination but there is also another thing I noticed. If I read a book and listen to the same song every time I read that book, I will began to pair the song with the book. For example, I read Percy Jackson while listening to the song Fireflies. So, after some time, whenever I hear the song I will think of Percy Jackson. It sorts of becomes the theme song for the book. I know this is weird. Well, I'm quite sure I haven't explained this properly and all of you are gaping at this screen.

But I'm sure some of you out there have experience the same thing. And for those who are gaping or frowning at the screen, just try reading a book while listening to a song. I'm sure you will understand.

By the way, after writing about all these stuff, I just figured that if we put a song player in a story book (one that's suits the storyline of the book), the reader will be able to listen to the song and read the book. An idea for a new invention? Maybe.
