It's mid-december, I'm still playing neopets, Joanne is reminding me to do my work, and I'm still ignoring her. Yeah.

..

My pokemon cards bring the nerds to the yard
And they're like "You wanna trade cards?"
Damn right I wanna trade cards
You can have two but not my charizard

I know you want it,
the thing that makes them,
what the nerds go crazy for.
They lose their hp,
the way I attack,
I think its fireblast time

la la-la la la,
warm it up.
la la-la la la,
the nerds are waiting

I can see you want it,
you want me to teach the
techniques that freak these nerds,
it can be bought,
for a charizard,
watch if your smart,

Once you get in a battle,
everyone will look this way-so,
you must maintain your charmander,
same time maintain your wailord,
just get the perfect blend,
plus what you have within,
then next they're eyes are squint,
then they have picked up your sweet scent...

(Yeah, yeah, I know. I seriously need to grow up.)

My hamster died the other day, and I didn't cry or even think about it then, but now I realise how quiet my late-night studying has been nowadays (that is, while I'm studying for my religious class exam). There's no more "Goo goo ga ga," or "Whoshe cute wittle hamshter?" or tickling of the hamster and watching her run around me as I sit on the floor with my book on my lap...

My sister ain't going to buy another hamster because it's too much work...there's too much work for me too, of course, but I'm still crushed...who can I turn to at night now (while I'm staying up studying till 4a.m.)? Who can I disturb anytime I want now? Sigh...I miss her so much...here's to you, my furry little friend.

Cheesepiecheesepiecheesepiecheesepiecheesepie...it's a dirty word...oh nevermind...I'll tell you when you reach Singapore, jw.

Anyway, I'm back from Genting. We went together with my aunt's husband's family for the first time...and I fell for my aunt's husband's brother...he's quite cute...and quite young too. Sigh...I have to stop falling for guys...I always do, and then I'll get so shy and quite...afraid of embarrassing myself...sigh...

My sister is getting so close to this guy and soon she might have a boyfriend and I just know that I'll be the last one to marry in this family man...

Why am I talking about this...when it's already first of December and I should start on my work...Can you believe it's first of December already?

...

"It's probably just Draco," Ron said, then clamped his mouth shut. What on earth had possessed him to speak?
"I know what Draco Malfoy looks like," said Mortenson, aggrieved. "I know because he came by the office today."
Voldemort looked almost interested. "Did he?" he asked.
"He did. And- he brought his girlfriend with her."
Rhysenn arched an eyebrow. "He has a girlfriend?"
I can't believe this, Ron thought. I've been kidnapped by the forces of evil, dragged hundreds of miles to a remote mountain fortress, I'm surrounded by demons and vampires, and everyone is still discussing bloody Draco Malfoy's bloody sex life. There is no justice.
~Draco Veritas

Say "Cheese pie" 5 times out loud and very fast. Just keep repeating it and you'll get it. Damn lame actually...

And yeah! I'm going Genting again! Wow! I've gone there every year! I can't wait to go AGAIN! And I'll be there for 3 days...how FUN.

I haven't even packed my bag...it's 7a.m. now and we're leaving at 9a.m. and I still haven't packed my bag...just keep procrastinating, Munirah, and next year will be hell for you.

Oh yar, Eli and Sham, I'm sure we can go out around Cristmas...oh what a busy life I live...not.

This place is so stagnant I'm starting to breed mosquitoes again. I've been playing Neopets only so don't really have time for my blog...do you know how slow the Wheel of Monotony is spinning? Argh...So anyway, for the sake of updates...:

I'm going KL batu caves next week for 7 days with the rock climbing team to rock climb natural rocks. It's sure going to be fun. But of course, we need to train first so that we got the endurance to climb the routes there. But then we are leaving on Monday night, which is the second day of Hari Raya and I'm going to miss it! Oh what a thing to sacrifice just for rock climbing...money...sobsobsob...I want green packets...sobsobsob...

{Oh great...too many people speaking with me via msn...I'm so afraid they might ask me to go out with them...I really want to but there's no time!

That's the problem whenever I go online...I'll chitchat and chatchit until I can't finish updating my blog.

But I'll try harder this time.}

So...I got promoted yap. They moderated my Chemistry, increasing my mark by 10, so I failed Biology but passed Chem. I'm going to seriously study hard in December, man. If I don't I'll just die for As.

{And I was right! She did ask me to go out with her...sigh...so sad I might have to refuse...and why do I have to ask about Promos? All of them did very well but me lah.}

But why bother about studies that now when it's still November? Hah...we had class outing last Monday and we went ice-skating! (I really miss the 202 righties ice-skating trips...) And I don't know why but the only prominent things I remember from that Monday were the falling down part and the getting wet part and the freezing part. Haha...but it was still fun...we had speed skating with Alvin who caused Bernice to knock into a group of people once and he said, "If those people had died, that's it lah. I would seriously run away lah." Then we had Renny falling over and over again but he's quite a fast learner since it was he's first time ice-skating. And we also had Joanne who kept complaining, "There's so many people!"...hehe...but Sigh...it's so sad that we have to go off once we got the hang of ice-skating...heh...

My class is so fun. There's this 'funny', 'weird' guy in my class, Dexter, who keeps doing weird things in class and is so irritating that he always gets comments like, "I'm going to take off my shoe and throw it at this guy..." and "You know, Osama shouldn't kill all those people in the two towers...he should kill this guy instead." Actually only Shafiq said that...he can be mean sometimes, but I bet Dexter is so blur he don't know what Shafiq is talking about...

We're going out again on Wednesday to see Alvin and also Bell off at the airport. It's so sad that Alvin has to go away to Australia. He's the only guy in class nice enough to make friends with Dexter. The other guys are all so childish they don't bother lah.

And oh I made it to become an OGL yeah! I don't really know what's so exciting about it but it's going to be fun still I bet. Gosh, I must really study hard and not get too busy that I fail all my tests on the first week of January next year. Time just keeps flying. I think if I can chose a supernatural power, I would chose to stop time. That would be so great.

‘Oh, stop quoting and give me something to shoot’
‘Suit yourself,’ sighed Foaly, selecting what looked like a finger from the rack.
‘What’s that?’
‘It’s a finger. What does it look like?’
‘A finger,’ admitted Root.
‘Yes, but not any ordinary finger.’ He glanced around to make sure that no one else was watching. ‘The tip contains a pressurized dart. One shot only. You tap the knuckle with your thumb and someone goes sleepy-bye.’
‘Why haven’t I seen this before?’
‘It’s a covert kinda thing…’
‘And?’ said Root suspiciously.
‘Well, there have been accidents…’
‘Tell me, Foaly.’
‘Our agents keep forgetting they have it on.’
‘Meaning they shoot themselves.’
Foaly nodded miserably. ‘One of our best sprites was picking his nose at the time. Three days on the critical list.’
~Artemis Fowl

Ok, fine, I don't hate it. I must look at things positively and learn from my mistakes. What does it matter if I don't follow my 2004 new year's resolutions, right?

..

‘Are we good to go?’ roared Root into his mike, as though it wasn’t whisper-sensitive.
‘No need to shout Commander. These headsets could pick up a spider scratching in Madagascar.’
‘And is there a spider scratching in Madagascar?’
‘Well…I don’t really know. They can’t really–’
‘Well, stop changing the subject, Foaly, and answer the question!’

~Artemis Fowl

i totatally hate this. i totally hate this. i totally hate this. i want to act confident. i am confident, i am. but am i really? i just do not want to think about it. lucky some people get to go overseas. don't need to study in jc. stupid stressful life. i hate this. complacent. depression. stupidity. regret. idioticness...is there such a word? y can't i just...just...just...shut off my mind somehow...sigh...forget it. i just totally hate this. it's my own fault anyway. if i got retained, then i deserve it. i deserve to get retained. deserve to be embarrassed when the new j1s come in. deserve to lose all the nice friends i made this year. deserve to die. should i post this or just throw it away? i shall

My exams only end on the coming Wednesday and here I am...and I even managed to finally read Artemis Fowl, which is an irony, since I've been avoiding that book since the beginning of the year because of my heavy workload. Anyway, that book is great! I can't wait to read the next one! It's so magical and so cool too...bad guys give me tingles all over...Hehe...Do you remember these quotes:

The dwarf swallowed dryly. Wasn’t it typical of the Dwarf Brotherhood? What do dwarfs hate? Fire. Who are the only creatures with the ability to conjure up fireballs? Goblins. So who did the dwarfs have to pick a fight with? What a real no-brainer.

and

[When Mulch, the dwarf, who was sneaking around in the house, was talking to Foaly, the centaur, who was in the watchtower.]
The hardware in Mulch’s eye flickered and sparked.
‘Oww!’
‘Sorry. Small charge.’
‘You could have warned me.’
‘I’ll give you a big kiss later, you baby. I thought dwarfs were tough.’
‘We are tough. I’ll show you just how tough when I get back.’
Root’s voice interrupted the posturing. ‘You won’t be showing anyone anything, convict, except perhaps where the toilet is in your cell.”

Dumdeedum...I'm feeling so very bored...I don't want to study...sigh...stupid PW...why must it be so troublesome...sigh...can't stand school...want to stay at home...but I can't stand home either...want to be in school...but school...got some friendship problems...problems with stress...problems with imaginary boyfriends...then go back home...I got problem with wanting to sleep sleep and sleep...when I wake up, I'll get a headache...don't know why...so I'll continue sleeping and sleeping and sleeping...I want to study...want to get 3 As...want to fullfill my parent's dreams...right...sigh...

Have anybody seen this site: www.jcguide.org ? It's damn funny lah...what it said about srjc is so true...and what it said about tpjc's short skirt is...also quite true...heh...oh man, my sis need to use the comp...sigh...exams suck.

Yeah! Upgraded my computer to Windows XP! And I can borrow the Lymond Chronicles from Shamiah after Pui Man! I really thought it was going to be a long list of people borrowing from her. Ah...there's so much to do after Promos is over...not to mention my Perdaus (religious class) exams...

But for now, I promise to start studying for my 'A's on 1st January 2005. That's what the book I'm a Genius and so are you says...studying starts from the very first moment you enter the school...or something like that. I always find these kind of books on the last few weeks before my exams, which is really inconvenient since none of these books give tips on last-minute studying. Sigh...I still fear that I might get retain...trying to accept the fact now...gosh life is totally great isn't it.

..

It’s definitely not convenient for a place like this to be so icy cold! A fireplace would be of advantage. But it could possibly turn out to be a problem if somebody called by Floo.

On the other hand…

*dirty smirk*

The looks on their faces…. might be entertaining.

' The classroom door banged open with a crash, and Harry Potter half-fell into the room. He was staring-eyed, and his robes were smeared with what looked like luminous yellow paint. He glared at Flitwick. "SO WHAT IF I'M LATE?" he bellowed. "WHAT RIGHT HAVE ANY OF YOU TO JUDGE ME?" ' -A Lot To Be Upset About

I will never ever mess up my room ever again because I always have to spend the whole of Sunday (or any public holiday) to clean it up.
I will, from now on, leave things exactly the way I found them or even better.
I will also ensure I wash my dirty laundry every Saturday morning instead of throwing it all over my room.

And I'm feeling irritated, annoyed, angry and frustrated again...because everyone start studying already and I haven't...I know it's only one month away but I just can't do it...

I think the aliens from Aliens VS Predators are quite cute. Sure they are disgusting and all but they are big and strong and have sharp teeth and acid blood...that's pretty cool too...I don't know...I just like their sharp teeth...and in a way that's cute...and they are just doing what their instincts tell them to do, which is to feed...although that involves killing...and it's not their fault if they accidentally come to earth from one of the earth's space ship (in Aliens) and start killing the human beings, 'cause in truth, humans are not angels, but are predators too, killing animals till they are extinct...I think we all deserve it if aliens come down and rip us apart right...

Oh and I see The Princess Diaries II movie is out! But it's not showing in Singapore yet...is it? I want to watch...it sounds really funny you know...how how how...

"Hallo, mirror," he (Draco) purred. "How do I look?"
"You look fabulous," the mirror gushed. "There isn't a man, woman, or talking portrait in this castle who wouldn't get down on their knees and thank Merlin for the opportunity to lick chocolate sauce off your incomparable instep."
Okay, maybe it wasn't biased.
"And my hair?" Draco demanded.
"It is a glorious golden nimbus that frames your angelic face and moonlight eyes like a halo."
Draco squinted suspiciously. "You don't think I'm pointy?"
"Not at all. You're chiseled."
"Or pale?" Draco set his jaw. "Tell me the truth, I can take it."
"Well," the mirror hedged. "Maybe a little on the pasty side -"
'You lying piece of tin!" Draco shouted, seized his tortoiseshell hairbrush from the nearby nightstand, and hurled it at the mirror.

Aww...you guys are so sweet...thanks! The interview with Salman was kind of scraped off because it was kind of too late by then, but he already did the interview (email interview), although we can't use that interview. He said it's ok because he enjoyed doing the interview anyway...'enjoyed'...right...

Actually things are going quite well. My soccer team got in 4th in Soccer Open (Girls)! I got to watch Aliens VS Predators with Swee Ying and it's quite a cool show! I also got to enter a bithalon or something, organised by NIE, taking place on 5th September...I have to run 5km...which will be quite fun...I hope...

Yet there are still a couple of things I'm annoyed at. Like how people speak CHINESE RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE AND DURING DINNER AT THE SAME FREAKING TABLE. I thought telling them once would be enough, but I had to tell them twice, then thrice, and then I might as well record myself and play the same simple request over and over again. Where's the RESPECT?

And how in the world does Kevyn manage to become the top three for his promos last year, and also the top for Physics? I mean, he is one of the best in rock climbing, he has a girl friend, and he also has to be smart? He doesn't even look like a mugger...he looks quite attractive really...how can such a perfect person exist...like what Marcus said: he probably never sleeps. He mugs in the morning, rock climb in the afternoon, then goes out with his girlfriend at night.

Is there a chance I can be like him? ........... i'm trying to be hopeful here.

And my computer is being irritating again...

I feel like killing myself again. I know life is not all about studies and everything, but I can't help it if everyone around me is so smart while I'm so stupid. I hate this. I totally hate this. You are such a loser, Munirah.

Dumdeedum...I'm slacking again. Asyley already started studying for her promos...diediedie...and I want to watch the Moscow Circus...diediedie...and too many people know about my crush...diediedie...let's not mention him anymore, kay...

yeah...diediedie...

I'm very sad because my parents were surprised that I didn't get 3 As for my CT. I'm also sad because my bio teacher told my mum during the meet the parents session that I'm very slow during my practical, so I should learn to cook in the kitchen so I'll keep to my timing. I'm also sad because I really want to go for the OCIP and also for the Rock Climbing trip but my parents have to spend a lot of money on that, thinking that I will repay them when I grow up to become rich and famous or something. I'm sad also because I got no local athlete (who had competed for Singapore before) to interview for my PW. I'm also sad because I have Bio SPA this Saturday. I'm also sad because some people do not reply to my smses. I'm also sad because I want to watch King Arthur, Garfield and Kill Bill 2 but I don't think I can. I'm also sad because my crush will not be in TPJC anymore by the end of the year...I'm going to miss him terribly...Wow, I didn't know I'm feeling THAT sad.

I'm only happy because there's Rock Climbing tomorrow and ('cause of the Racial Harmony Day celebrations) only TWO blocks of lessons! Yeah!

"You have to work hard to achieve your peek, only then will talent bring you that bit further and make the difference" by a friend

I must never ever forget to cut my toe nails ever again. The climbing shoes are just too tight for my long toenails. The toenail of my middle toe of my left foot has been pealed off...well, half of it...and it looks ugly...

Orh, my results for CT: -
Maths - A
Chemistry - C
Biology - C
GP - C6
MT - B3

Aim for Promos: -
Maths - A
Chemistry - B
Biology - C
GP - C5
MT - A2

Actually I doubt I can ever get an A2 for my malay. And I'm afraid I can't maintain an A for my Maths...

Sigh...why's my class so smart? I really need to work harder. Though a relative of my friend said it's ok if we fail all our common tests because he failed everything too! And what did he get for his A-levels? 2 As and a B I think...sigh sigh sigh...
And Mrs Neo said one of our seniors who got 2 As and a C can't get a place in NUS at all...so how?

By the way, I really want to go for the OCIP (Oversease CIP) at Thailand! Almost my whole class want to go but I can't. Actually I can but I'd rather go for the Rock Climbing trip at Thailand. It'll be such a cool experience...climbing those natural rocks...though the trip there will be expensive...10-day trip...with about ten bucks on food each day...
