Interesting Story

SOS

Jacky and Vi Vian, the class monitor of 3A5 did not do their job and pushed everything to me. This morning, as I was in school, I was asked by my friend to "wakil" to finish the job that we had not done the day before. Okay, let me made this clear. I was assisting Jacky in his work on Monday. I was involved in that job. But, Jacky was absent today, so did Vi Vian. As I was the only person that had been involved in this "job" and present in school, I was pressured to finish it. And Oh My God! I had to plough through a class of SMM form and keyed all of the words into the computer. Oh my god my eyes were swollen and dried! And I had only managed to finish 22 sheets of paper in 2 hours time.....It takes us painstaking effort and days to finish it. But luckily I meddled in when there were less paperworks to do.

Jacky and Vi Vian, you better don't come to school or I will dice you!!
Well, here is something I wanted to share with you. As I was reading the students' information, I found out a student's mother's name is Tan Char Bor. Wahahaha. I was laughing my head off, so does my friends. "Char Bor" in Hokkien is a girl.

My eyes were swollen. Seriously. Imagined yourself looking at a computer for 5-6 hours nonstop. Okay. Maybe I was exaggerating. Imagined yourself looking at a computer for 5-6 hours, with only a 20 minutes break in the middle. All of us, everyone, who was involved in this "perwakilan" was having two swollen eyes. My eyes felt pain. Therefore, as I reached home I dragged myself into bed to rest, but I dozed off and woke up at 6.00pm sharp! 3 hours of sleeping....

Unbelievable? Yes. I am now doubting my ability to read the clock.

It was just another overcast day and eventually rain began to pour down. I have absolutely no idea what is happening to the climate. It was boiling in the morning but freezing in the evening. The unpredictable weather is getting on our nerves. I'm not the first, I'm sure. It was raining cats and dogs and the fight between these two animals seemed endless. Ashamed to say that I'm not fully accustomed with this climate changes. Sometimes I fall sick, due to the different temperature changes. But I believe I adapt better now.

Grandmother

As I mentioned earlier, I couldn't play badminton today because of whatever that was set to be ongoing in this afternoon. My plan for afternoon had been ruined and therefore I had to rearrange them. "Rearrange" seemed to be a word that kept me busy from anything else. But, alas, I was wrong. I couldn't think out what to do.

My mother had asked me to go to my grandmother's house in Penang for a cleaning. I refused initially. But...I was seriously bored. Therefore, just a few minutes before they departed, I followed on a whim.

My grandmother was a great person. I remember her vividly even though she passed away last year. March 2008 to be exact. She was a healthy and friendly person. She was shopping happily with my mother few days prior to her death. Her death was unfair. She was just a normal lady walking at the side of the road when a motorcycle knocked her down and took her away. Life is just like this, you are living happily then, wham, you die. You can never ever anticipate what would happen in the future. Her death had left a painful void to my mother, not to mention my aunts and uncles. I could still remember how unstable her emotion was. Just a little talk about my grandmother could trigger the time bomb in her head and she would start crying. She hid her sadness, but I could read her mind. It was sad, very sad. What happened to my grandmother should not be happened. It was unfair. But what could we do? We can never change the power of the God. It she was destined to be dead, what else can we do?

It has been a year, almost two. My mother seems more cheerish when she talks about my grandmother. I don't really like to dig up the past. Sometimes she would cry inwardly. She thought she can hide the feeling, but eyes never lie. It's quite obvious she is sad.

After dusting, me and my mother went to Tesco. Just for a short while to kill our time, and then went back home. My mother is now cheerish, no more enveloped in the state of sadness. It's a good news.

Library

School was having graduation ceremony this morning. Therefore, every form 3, form 4 and lower 6 students were not needed in school and had a day off.

Once again, to my chagrin, I woke up 8.15am. I didn't want to get up, therefore, I continued to lie on the bed until I couldn't bear it anymore and eventually got off the bed at 8.45am reluctantly. My time was accurate, I watched the clock ticked for 30 minutes before I eventually gave up trying to sleep.

I sat in front of the computer two hours this morning, watching television drama on tudou.com. My eyes were swollen with tiredness. But I couldn't do anything. I can't play badminton on Sunday because of whatever that is ongoing there and I couldn't leave the house because my parents forbid me to leave if they were not at home. They even wrote a warning letter!

Eventually I came out with the idea of going to the public library in Seberang Perai. I remember vividly how it looked, although I couldn't remember when was the last time I stepped my foot there. My mother, who just came back from work, brought me there without complain. Thank you. I appreciated your kindness. Ok, I didn't know what. Maybe I wasn't good in finding books, maybe I didn't explore the entire building, but what I found was the library was seriously running out of books. Almost all of the books there were old and musty and yellowish. And it was unbelievably lack of books. There were only 3 shelves of english fiction I could find. 3 shelves??

I had trouble finding a good book to borrow. I just took Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and eventually fled from the poor library with my mother. I don't think I would go back there again.

"Killer" by Giddens is actually a page-turner. My interest were actually aroused when I read it.

Finally I finished the series "Crime Buster x2". Yeepie! Not a bad series.

Oh, and I chanced on Joshua Ang's website through a blog. If you're curious about his blog: http://www.nutzhen.com/

Oh, and my friend Chee Yee can't play badminton tomorrow due to family schedule. Wahaha. I feel like I'm gloating. Sorry. Whatever the problem is, we can play another day, right?

Joo Phin had uploaded her blog and she regale us with the stories of her trip to Thailand. Frankly, I envied her for having a trip. My father is not a travel person. He doesn't like to travel. Even if he does, only in Malaysia. It's good to have a chance to see how is other country look like. Thanks for the updates.

Rain

It is raining again, nonstop. For a few days it have been raining in the evenings. Probably just because of raining season. Whatever it is. I don't want to talk about it. It reminds me of geography.

Morning was still boring. It was Wednesday morning, and school was having rehearsal for the graduation day. Many of my friends cut class. Bored, I borrowed The Time Traveller's Wife from Chow Chia Yuin, my ex-classmate (but still a friend). She bought the book on Saturday and she was absorbed into the book more than I do. It is evident by the pages she had read for the past 3 days, more than 200 I think. I finished the book in school, startlingly fast as I finished about 80 pages in only 20 minutes. This broke my record.

I love this book. The ending is good, but I hate when Henry dies. This love should last. It should not be broken. For those who have read the book, if you could not fathom how Henry dies, read this. Henry is actually killed by Clare's brother, who shot him earlier in this book.

My father printed out the bill for my sister's semester. It dared not ask. It must be exceedingly expensive.

I wish the old days when my sister is home. If my sister is home, I would have somebody to fight for computer with. I would have someone to bicker with. I would have someone to play with. I would have someone to confide in. But now she is in Kampar, located in Perak where 6 lives have been snatched in a week time. My mother is worrying sick. She is afraid my sister is one of the victims sooner or later. Luckily, my sister is not an outdoor person. She wouldn't dare go anywhere far without my parents' consent.

I thought of going to QQ Comic Shop. I wanted to go there, until a downpour ruined my plan. I had nothing to do but slumber.

Having games on Viwawa.com. Losing badly. I thought it will be a cinch to battle with the lower levels. Apparently I was wrong. I still need to improve my moves.

Pasar Malam

Monday, pasar malam night. I was so looking forward to go to pasar malam. Initially I thought my wish was doomed when an overcast sky emerged from nowhere and followed by a downpour. Luckily, pasar malam was as usual, still crowded, but I wasn't there to spend money, I just wandered at pasar malam.

This morning was the first day I went to school after staying at home for four days continuously. Today the attendance was good, which was surprising, but yet there were still nothing to do, and Joo Phin was pestering me and a few of us to tell her stories. I was astounded. Completely startled because I had no stories to tell~~

I watched Where Got Ghost yesterday. It was a hormedy. By the way, if you are asking what "hormedy" is, it is actually a portmenteau coined by Jack Neo, Singaporean director. The show was not extraordinarily funny, and the directing was a bit lame at the end of the movie. At the highway to be exact. Anyway, just my opinion~~The hormedy in Phobia is still the best. I couldn't hold back and eventually burst out laughing. I really wish to watch it again!

Phobia

It's Sunday, me and my friends decide to go to Pacific for a movie. We had lunch there, at Pizza Hut. The price is exorbitant. Then, we try to select a particular movie to watch. Eventually we decide to watch Phobia 2, a Thai horror film which is currently the highest-grossing movie in Thailand. It is a sneak preview, therefore the ticket price is higher than normal. We enjoy going to cinema for movies because of the sounds system and pulsating musics. But since this is a horror movie, we're not expecting sounds system nor pulsating musics but we are seeking for the horror effect. Phobia is rated 18PL, which means children below 18 are forbidden to watch. But luckily they didn't card us.

Phobia 2 is branched into five parts. The first one is a bit....cruel. Second and Third are spine-chilling. The fourth is kind of exciting, kind of like hide and seek, but quite enjoyable. The fifth is, actually, not a part of phobia because it is actually a comedy. If you're asking me which is my favourite, I will say the fifth, it is the only chapter in the film that caused tension among the people. It is also the only part that successfully make people laugh their heads off.
The first four are frightening but in a boring way. I can't fathom the stories, nor can I decipher the ending of each stories. The third is probably the most horrifying. It involved zombies, blood-sucking zombies. If you're afraid of seeing blood, avoid this part, it is gory. And as I mentioned, the first four are mind-bending, so do remember to watch the show carefully to catch what are they whining about. We finished the film after the fifth part. Actually, thanks to the producer for making such a brilliant ending or all of us will be leaving the cinema fearfully and uncomprehendingly, and deadening our leg after sitting for two hours. Haiz, I couldn't hear anybody yelling in the cinema.....
