The Story That Led Me Here

I know I'm 1 week late but better late than never right? So today I'm gonna blog about my graduation day and everything related. Sit yourself down for a long post.

Ok so when I was 1 of the 8 (that sounds so cool, like the Power Of Five) chosen as the 2009 graduation dinner committee, I felt kind of sad that none of my best friends were chosen (ie: Chris) but now, looking back, I realise that might be a good thing.

If I had a close friend with me on the committee, I wouldn't have bothered with anyone else and wouldn't have communicated much with the rest of the committee. I can see this is what happened in YE last year. Megan and Chris were in YE with me and what happened? We stuck to ourselves and didn't mix much with the other people 'cause we knew we already had our own little posse. We didn't need anyone else as long as we had each other. This might be bad sometimes 'cause you become antisocial and don't really connect with your other colleagues (did I spell it right?).

So anyway, I was stuck with 7 other people I didn't really know very well for a year. The worst thing was that Chaw Yeh was our chairlady and I didn't really like Chaw Yeh last year. (Don't worry Chaw Yeh I like you now!!) I don't really remember why but I think it was partly 'cause she was the mean-looking AMD and I didn't know her. Also because she said something to Megan and Chris about 'not contributing' or something.

So I was thinking to myself "What? Chaw Yeh's chairlady? How am I gonna work with her for an entire YEAR?! With no friends near me!" I wasn't happy. Then besides Chaw Yeh there were Kasvini (I liked her), Hsieh Zhen (never really mixed with her that much... But she seemed nice) Shi Han (I knew her and liked her so I was ok with her), Ee Lynn (didn't know her), Siew Chii (sort of knew her) and Karen (who the heck is that?).

At the start of the year, I stuck to Kasvini and Shi Han 'cause I didn't know the others well. I got to know Ee Lynn and Siew Chii 'cause we were the ones who ran around telling classes to hurry up. I still didn't talk to Chaw Yeh, Hsieh Zhen and Karen but I was starting to see they weren't so bad.

The as the year wore on, I was forced to mix with every single person on the committee 'cause we had to practice our dance, think of a theme, plan this, plan that....... I realised it was actually kinda fun being on the committee. I really didn't know Chaw Yeh could be so sampat and that Hsieh Zhen's quiet and serious exterior was hiding a psycho girl who laughs at everything. (Still didn't mix much with Karen so I'm not gonna talk about her. I'm still not close to her anyway.)

So hor, by the time we were skipping class everyday to hang out and do stuff (can do stuff and have fun at the same time so don't accuse us of slacking), I was looking forward to seeing our mismatched and dysfunctional committee.

It wasn't all fun and roses though, we had our ups and downs. There were times when I'd feel like punching someone and there were times when I didn't wanna leave their good company. All of us had strong personalities and of course there was the clashing of horns but that's normal in any committee.

I realised how we all changed in a year. Well I don't know about them but I changed (I think). I grew up while hanging around kids and found out that stress can do funny things to people. I learned that you can't get along with everyone, you can't please everyone and how even little things can change a person's view of you. (Damn I sound wise!)

Chaw Yeh, I like you now. Like your whole family la. *winks* It was nice to realise you're not mean and that you can act so stupid when you're around stupid people. You're good at taking charge and making sure people get things done. You're not afraid of telling people off and that's a good thing. I like the way you say 谁. 这是谁的? SHEIIII!!!!!

Kasvini, please learn to be more punctual. (I don't think you read my blog. Hehe!) Take it easy. Don't stress so much over little things.

Hsieh Zhen, who knew you could act so 幼稚. You very funny la. Big, big house with only round things. HAHAHAHAHA!!!! You give your opinion on everything and usually you're right (only on the artsy stuff). You act weird sometimes.

Shi Han, I like the way you're so direct and don't beat about the bush. You have good taste in music and you're good at computer stuff. I already knew I liked you.

Ee Lynn, you've got a lot of contacts and it seems like you know everyone. You don't like complimenting Shi Han and you also act like a kid a lot. (Hey most of us do so you fit right in) You know your drama stuff and that helps.

Siew Chii, (I just realised I have never seen Siew Chii online before. Does she even have a computer?) I like the way you do your eyes at people. A bit like juling but funnier. You're a bit blur sometimes. Haha!

Karen, no comment. I don't know you well enough.

I would like to thank all of you guys for dealing with each other and not causing each other serious harm.

Most of all, I wanna thank those people who came to the auditorium last year to choose your committee. You guys chose well. We rock! If you say you loved this year's grad night, it's thanks to you guys too. Without you, we'd be nothing. Seriously.

Chris and Megan, your ears have been very patient. You've endured me a lot. All the time. Not just about the grad night. You see I told you I could keep secrets!

Special thanks to the technician's daughter and the engineer's daughter plus Hsieh Zhen. Without you guys, I'd be a sobbing mess. You saved us all. And Chaw Yeh, I know you're happy I gave you work to do. I did you a favour by tripping over that wire. And don't you dare ever forget about the lam mee thing! Hsieh Zhen, you're the best plastic surgeon I know. You did wonders with our broken backdrop. I loved being the 'backdrop mia people'.

Who else to thank? Err.... My mum? For err.... being my unloading bin. All the secrets I kept from Megan and Chris went to her. Thanks for telling me what you think about everything! It helped.

Pn Chan probably never gonna see this but I wanna thank her too. She gave valuable advice and allowed us to skip class.

Chaw Yeh help me thank your dad for fixing the thing at the last minute! I was panicking at the side until he came along.

Zhao Min! Thanks for your lip gloss!

I wanna thank myself too, for doing such awesome make up last Saturday night. I'll give myself a pat on the back.

I think that's it. I hope next year's committee knows they're got their work cut out for them. *smirks* Haiyah they all drama people sure can la!

What An Eye Sore

While everybody blogs about graduation and stuff, I'll be blogging about my hospital stay. I was gonna blog about my graduation too but I guess that'll have to wait 'cause this is more exciting!

So on Sunday, the day after our graduation, I had a cold and a sore throat. Probably 'cause I didn't drink much water the day before and was screaming my friends' names all night...

So that was ok, but then my mum bought some medication for my sore throat from a pharmacy and that night, and it got worse. WAY WORSE!

Half an hour after I ate the medicine, my eyes started to swell up and it looked like I had mosquito bites above and under the eyes. This happens sometimes (I don't know why) so my mum and I thought it was normal and waited for the mosquito bite things to go down. But it just got worse and worse and worse until I could barely open my eyes.

The whole time it was swelling up, I was on the internet getting tagged on Facebook, talking with Chris and checking my mail but after it got really bad, I didn't have the mood anymore so I told Chris I was going to the hospital and logged off everything.

Then my dad started asking where I was going and everything so I said hospital but he's like 'All the people in the hospital at night are trainees and you shouldn't trust them' so I got fed up and asked 'So what do you want me to do then?'

So he told my mum to call his doctor friend and ask him what to do.

This was about 10.30pm and my dad's friend (let's call him Doc) told me to go to his house so he could take a look.

I got there with my slitty eyes and when he saw me he was like 'Oh this is serious.' then checked my blood pressure and everything. Then he said I had to get an injection but he didn't have 1 at home so I had to go to the hospital and probably stay overnight.

So I took my IC, insurance card (I have insurance!) and overnight bag and went to the A&E room in Lam Wah Ee Hospital.

Thanks to Doc, I got treated first and I kind of felt bad 'cause there were a lot of people waiting but my mum told me I looked the worst.

So then while my mum went to register, I lay on this bed in this room waiting for the nurse to do whatever to me.

After a while a nurse came, asked some stuff, yadda yadda yadda.... Then she stuck that thing in me, you know that thing where they only needa poke you once and they can give you as many injections as they like. So I was kinda surprised that she could find my vein on the first try 'cause my mum told me its very hard to poke a fat person's vein 'cause there's too much fat in the way. Anyway she managed to do it.

Then she told me 'We're putting water in ok?' and she injected the water. Then she said 'We're gonna put the hydro-dunno-wat in now ok?' then she injected hydro-dunno-wat in me. Then at last she put in more water and I was done.

This is where the fun starts. I got wheeled in a gurney all the way up to my room which was a single room in the new wing. (Bliss!) And the whole way up I had to try not to smile 'cause I was getting WHEELED! On a GURNEY! And only 1 dude was pushing me so must've been hard on him...

Then I got to my room where they took my blood pressure and emasured my heart rate and everything all over again.

Then after everybody left, my dad turned on the TV to watch football. And my mum said they had CARTOON NETWORK!

I wanted to SMS Chris and tell her what went on 'cause she might've worried but my dad was like 'Don't tell anyone ur staying in the hospital until you get out or they'll be bothering you all night and calling you.'

Right at that moment, Chris called me but I quickly rejected her. She called again while I was SMS-ing her not to call me again and I rejected her again.

When my dad finally left to go home, I pleaded with my mum who was staying the night with me to let me call Chris and it would only take a minute.

Of course, knowing my mum, she said ok and I called Chris and told her everything that went on and she was worried and everything then called me a drama queen for acting normal one second and telling her I'm going to the hospital the next. Hehe!

So then I went to 'sleep' but I couldn't sleep so I just lay there and sort of slept and at 5.00am nurses came in to check my heart rate and whatever again and at 7.00am the cleaning service turned on all the lights and started cleaning the room.

So.... I got up and turned on Cartoon Network and watched stupid cartoons. Who even watches the Pink Panther and that stupid crane thing anymore? The pictures look so old, do little kids still like watching them?

And then that stupid Tom & Jerry came on. I seriously do not know why T & T like watching that show so much, it's so lame.

I finally turned it off and went to sleep but later on when I turned it on again, there was the Powerpuff Girls!!! I only got to watch the ending of the japanese version and then the original version came on. By this time, my bro was there 'cause my dad insisted he come to see my beautiful room.

Here I took some pictures of the TV and the shows and even got a video so enjoy! I know I did.

And I'm not putting up any pictures of me 'cause I looked horrible and I do not want those pictures on the WWW. I'm only gonna show them to friends in real life. Oh ya and I skipped school today 'cause my eyes are still really swollen but not as bad as Sunday night.

New Shoes, New Shirt, New Bruise

Last Friday, I wore my new shoes. It was the first time I wore them out in the real world so I was really excited! When I came home, My shoes didn't even have a scratch on them! I was so proud of how I managed to keep them shiny and new!

Then on Saturday, I went out with the Rangers and wore my new shoes again. (because I was wearing the same outfit. Don't worry I didn't sweat!) And after I got home, I found out that my foot was hurt!

The skin came off at the back of the heel but it didn't really look gross. Just a little red...

But it HURT! When my pajama pants brushed past it, it hurt. When I bathed, it hurt. When I accidentally poked it, it hurt!

So today, when I went to Queensbay, I was SO HAPPY when I found this shirt!

It completely describes how I feel! 'Cause when I went to the Ranger dinner thing, Sue Yin told me I look like I'm 22 or 23 years old! HAHAHAHHAHAHHAH!!!!! I look SOOOOO mature!!!!

Especially since Shi Han looked like a little kid twisting her fork and knife!

This was what I was wearing on that night. I know la.. My eyes look so tiny next to Wan Ching and Shu Yon.... Well it shows that I was smiling broadly and happily ok?

And if you're curious about how my foot looks today, here's a photo. The yellow thing is not pus la, its flavin. It's supposed to help the wound heal. This is the first time I ever hurt myself for vanity's sake. I'll NEVER DO IT AGAIN! I'd rather look ugly than get THIS!

Ya its bad. It just got redder and redder since Sunday... Oh well! Lesson learnt. *rolls eyes*

Oh ya and I also bought this shirt.

My mum actually said she might borrow it sometimes. HAHAHAHAHA! Oooh you're a BAD GIRL aren't you...... Wait. EWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Forget I said that....

Enough for now. Bye!!!

ps I would like to thank my charming, genius friend for reminding me 'it was your own stupid fault for wearing your new shoes.' Thanks a lot.

Destined For An Early Grave

I just saw that there is a trailer for Destined For An Early Grave, 4th book in Jeanine Frost's Night Huntress series.

Here's the link: http://www.jeanienefrost.com/

I thought I would get a good look at Bones but there's so little of him!!!!! *pouts*

Ah well at least I get to read the 1st chapter!!! Hehehe!!!!

Exam's Over, Results're Out!!!

Hohohoho!!!!! Exam finished yesterday. Got these results today: English, Chinese, Add Maths, Accounts, Maths.

Guess which one I'm the proudest of??? Come on! Guess!

It's CHINESE!!!!!

Now its only paper 1 results, which is the essay part, but I did GOOOOD!!!! I even beat the Chinese Genius Chun Han! Hahaha!!!! And when Shen Chaei turned around to see my marks, she shouted, 'I only beat you by 2 marks ah????'

Well I was shocked too! I mean I'd never gotten B- for directed writing and C+ for continuous writing before!!! I'm so proud!!!!

Oh I just realised I didn't actually say how much I got yet. I got *drumroll*........ 65.5!!!!

Good right? Now I only need to get 35 for comprehension and I'll pass!!! Woohoo!!!

Megan, let's try again....

This isn't as good as the first 1 because in the first 1, there was also the scene where Beyonce won the Best Video Of The Year award and when she went on stage to give her speech, she said she won her first award when she was 17 and it was 1 of the most exciting moments of her life, so she welcomed Taylor Swift to come on stage to finish her speech and have her moment in the spotlight.

There was also a scene where Kanye was on the Jay Leno show and Jay was asking him how his mum would feel if she saw this and Kanye cried.

This video only shows when he took the mic away from her. But I think that's enough.

Megan!! This is for you!!!!

Hahahahaha...... First thing I saw was Taylor Lautner!!!!!!

Poor Taylor Swift must've felt so humiliated... She just stood there on the stage, not knowing what to do next...

Beyonce was really nice about the whole thing!
