The 101th Post

Today, I GOT woken up at around 9am by my dad, because we had to go eat a family breakfast. But I was actually planning to wake up way past 9, but when it's my dad, you have to get up. It was hard trying to decide where to eat, so we ended up going to McDonald's for breakfast. And of all the chances, while I was about to finish ordering for my family, the power got cut. There was no one else behind me or beside me, just me and my hungry stomach. So we had to go to the OTHER McDonald's but still in the same area, at least their place had power. So we ordered and sat down to eat. But lots of family drama happened that I don't want to recall.

Then after that, got home and got dressed for today's "Shopping" trip with Ying Xi and Jodi. I was excited 'cause I finally get to see my friends again after SO long (especially Ying Xi, cause I already saw Jodi, no offense Jodi :D) I got there and hung around with my mom and brothers a bit, while waiting for Jodi and Ying Xi to arrive. When they did come, our first mission was to get lunch.

After much indecisiveness, we finally went to Garden to eat. And I'm GLAD we picked that place(sarcasm could be either way). At first, we just sat down at a table for two (note that there are threeee of us) So Ying Xi kept making "Third Wheel" jokes for me. They messed around with Jodi's DSLR while waiting for the food to arrived. I was skeptical at their Watercress soup cause it was PUKE GREEN in color. But I've learned how to consume disgusting food without puking. So I ate it with a face on the whole time.

Then our main meal came, Spaghetti for Jodi and Ying Xi and some Turkey and Pineapple sandwich for me. I ate quite slowly, at one point, I tasted something odd. Odd in the sense it tasted PLASTIC, so I picked that weird plastic-y thing out and checked it out. It WAS plastic, so I told one of the waiters after some pushing from Ying Xi and Jodi. And then they kept asking me if I wanted a replacement meal, but I kept rejecting as I was full. Then, surprise surprise, some lady, of higher position I assume, came to apologize and tell us that she has paid for our bill. Ying Xi's and Jodi's faces were in... shock? But they said it was weird cause she paid for ALL our meals and not just mine. She also offered complimentary cake, but I said no(secretly yearning for some delicious cake). Then after many 'Thank You' and 'It's okay' we left the restaurant.

PROOF OF PURCHASE

We were just wandering around, deciding whether floor by floor was better or section by section. I didn't know much, so I just went with the flow. YING XI AND JODI ARE MORE PICKY ABOUT CLOTHES THAN I AM. THEY WINDOW SHOP WITHIN 5 SECONDS AND THEY WALK REAL FAST. Then after a while, I got thirsty and we went to JuiceWorks, WE WAITED AND WAITED LONG for two stupid drinks. Everyone was waiting. Then finally we got our drinks and went on shopping. Didn't get much(cause I was afraid that Ying Xi and Jodi would judge me. LOL), and I didn't have much money anyways.

At Cotton On, Ying Xi accidentally dropped one of their shades, so she had to purchase them. And since it's 2 for RM50, Jodi got one too (makes up for their paid lunch, karma). Then around 4.30pm, I had to leave, said goodbyes and really really REALLY(I couldn't emphasize more, cause my heart ached physically, funny? but I'm serious) sadly watched them go :( Hope I get to see them again REALLLLL SOOON. Miss you guys already. Overall, a fun outing with Ying Xi and Jodi. I NEED REAL CLOTHES, SOON.

SORRY FOR WASTING YOUR TIME TO READ THIS LONG BLOG POST, I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT I LOVE MAKING LONG ONES, UNCONSCIOUSLY.

THAT'S ALL I GUESS. BYE.

Before we come undone in 14 days.

The 100th Post

to the person who is that special to have this post all to herself. *insert joke here* but I'm not in the joking mood for her now. This isn't a joke post, it's a... um... farewell post?

On orientation day, before I went up to class to get "orientated". I stopped in front of the name list for 1 Galileo. The thought "Who's going to be my bestfriend?" flowed constantly through my mind. I shut my eyes tight and let fate decide. My fingers traced up and down of the name list, I hoped for the best and stopped. Not knowing who it would be, I opened my eyes cautiously. The words "Lim Jodi" seem to pop out of the page just where my finger stopped. I mouthed her name, and tried to picture her in my mind. A person who's bubbly, cheery and pretty. I felt warm inside knowing that I'd have a bestfriend sooner or later.

And now after a year, fate did what it said.

I just reused that story :/ but it's a TRUEEEE story, believe it or not.

Let me try to recall a funny story which I have not used yet... hmm...

Yesterday, after the gym with Jodi, we went back home and I went to shower while Jodi lazes around. And some point of 'before dinner' Jodi fell asleep. And I was used to Jodi being asleep and left her there to get her well-needed sleep. After a while, I went to check back on her, her eyes were open. I stared at her with disbelief on my face. I waved my hand back and forth in front of her blank gaze, no response. I started to panic a little and wonder if I should wake her up, but decided to hope and waited. She was still and breathing, and I was hoping for more than that to prove she wasn't... somewhere else. I tried to hide my worry with some computing. Then it was dinner time, I had to wake her up. And man, was I relieved when Jodi turned over and gave me the 'I'm sleepy and you woke me up' look.

Jodi's a very... different person depending on situations. Sometimes she can be so awesome, you'd think she's always cool. Other times, she's just weird and lame. It all depends on her mood and her will. She can give professional-looking advice if she was in the mood and was concentrated. Otherwise, she's just make wise-cracks and sad faces :( But when in person, and she's upset, I'd just shut up and let her be alone, cause.... if I just sit there and not talk, that'd be awkward wouldn't it? I keep feeling the need to watch over her and protect her, because frankly, Jodi's accident-prone.

I think this post is long enough as it is.

Jodi, you know what I'm going to say, you've heard it all before. You're an awesome friend with awesome talents which you yourself do not want to acknowledge. You may have a checkered past, but that doesn't mean you can't have a good future ahead of you. Spend time thinking about the future, you don't want to just jump in there unprepared. I'm afraid FOR you, Jodi. So many things happening around you and you're just... stuck in the middle of it all. You didn't choose for it to be that way, but I know you'll make it through, especially with the awesome people in your life to help you every step of the way. And you know I'll always be glad to help you in any way possible. You've heard it tens of times before, so I guess I'll stop soon. Love you best friend :D DON'T EVER WANT TO LOSE YOU, YOU BETTER KEEP IN TOUCH WITH ME OR DIE... MAYBE NOT DIE... OR ELSE YOU'LL SUFFER FROM CONSTANT TICKLISH FEELING ALL OVER YOUR BODY AND NEVER STOP LAUGHING. BWHAHAHHA.

Okay. That's all for the farewell posts (I think).

A Great Big Hug (Part 3)

The 99th post. And it's a special post.

I've never... had a writer's block this bad before. I'm currently rereading my previous posts to get some "inspiration" and is epic-ly FAILING.

Attempt 1:

I've never been a very

Attempt 2:

I've always been an easily satis

Third time's the charm:

When I was in primary, the thing that made me THE MOST happiest (so far) is when I see everyone working together and happy, especially during Children's Day and Teacher's Day. No one complained or didn't cooperate. Everyone simply just helped without asking for anything in return. And (seriously, not to brag) I was kind of the coordinator (KIND OF), so you don't know the happiness and warmness it brings to see all your tiny(we were all once) friends working together, smiling and having a great time. No matter what the occasion, whether someone got bullied, teachers scolded you, you fell down and cried, all of your friends would cry along with you, cheer you up and help you up. The girls would cry along with you and help you up(if you fell), and the guys would ask 'who bully you' and go confront the guy on your behalf, they'd make lame jokes to cheer you up. Thinking back on all of these memories, really wants to make me tear.

But people change, for better or for worse. And this part(the helpful part) is slowly morphing into something entirely different. It has gotten worse as we mature. These people have to be your friend if you want to help them, and sometimes, people don't even want to tell what's wrong. When asked to help out with some class stuff, they'd just bitch behind your back. Is that what we've really become? Some crazy self-centered popularity-seeking bitching jerks? I don't want to become one, but I'm guilty of the crime too. I've read somewhere, "As you grow up, your brain's just being closed up." ask a kid what love means (Ying Xi's blog) they'll tell you a creative and deep answer even a philosopher couldn't grasp. When we were young, we'd do all sorts of crazy things, but as we grow, we stop and realize that 'this is stupid'. But what's stupid? Heartlessly watching your classmate being bullied and not doing anything to stop them? Our definition of love has become massively physical, he doesn't love you if he doesn't touch you. But is that really what love is?

This is pure instinctual sense, help your species survive? But we humans have grown cold and too closed up. Everyone thinks everything's a scam or a trick, sometimes it's just a lame excuse not to help. We have to reopen back that brain of ours. Become more carefree, more caring.

Now, billions of ideas are rushing into my head, just exploding to be typed out and expressed. But let's not forget the reason of this post even existing. These people, who have helped me through the toughest time. Who've been there to share in my happiness and bitterness all together. These people are like my siblings. I practically need them for my mental well-being. And I hope that our friendship lasts till the end of time.

Tan Ying Xi

The storytelling friend

Ying Xi's my storytelling friend. Why? Because I feel so comfortable telling her stories, secrets and my retarded mistakes in life. She understands my problems and is an AWESOME adviser. She can give full and complete advice on the spot. She gets straight to the point and rarely beats around the bush. Though me and her get into stupid arguments quite often, we still stay friends at the end! Her birthday's two days after mine and she's a Virgo too! Together, we fight the evil forces of... maths... with our Virgo telepathy! Sorry, had a lame spasm back there. ANYWAYS, though she's an awesome adviser, she can't advice herself. But she has awesome friends to help her anytime she needs it. I'd miss her when I go to Australia.

Ying Xi's smart. She's really really smart. She picks up on those things you THINK people wouldn't pick up. All the social things anyways, she's a gifted people person. She knows if you favorite this person, or if she's your best-est friend even if you have loads of other best friends. She's sometimes self-sacrificial, which is good, but don't take on what you can't handle.

Ying Xi, you've been an awesome friend to me, and forgiven me when I do stupid things. You've had a pretty rough boy-past, and rely too much on the outside source of love (school boys, sigh). You have your awesome family(COUSINS) and awesome friends. I wish you all the best in your dating future? (God, I feel so weird typing that out.) I LOVE YOU TO BITS MAN. YOU HAVE TO KEEP BEING MY FRIEND EVEN IF WE DO ARGUE AND FIGHT, CAUSE YOU'RE AN AWESOME AWESOME FRIEND TO HAVE AND I DON'T THINK I CAN LIVE IT DOWN IF ME AND YOU WEREN'T FRIENDS. I'LL THINK OF YOU EVERY TIME I SEE A PICTURE OF TAYLOR LAUTNER OR SEE SOMEONE SHORT(SORRY). I'LL REMEMBER YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.

Johann Razali

My adviser friend

I knew Johann through Jodi. As you all should know, they're dating. And one day, he just confronted me on msn and asked 'what's your problem'. Cause I've been giving him the cold shoulder (unintentionally of course). And I just roughly told him what's happening and he gave good directions (he actually asks you to do something rather then ask you rhetorical questions). He helped me through one of the dark times in my teenage life (A huge misunderstanding). And through the two-way helping(I don't think I helped much), we became close friends. Though we do occasionally get into fights(more than usual now), he forgives my unforgivable mistakes. Since I met him, he has changed into a better person(Johann 2.0 :O) I'm so glad that I have a friend like him. I honestly honestly, have never met anyone like him, till now of course. He isn't afraid of expressing his opinions, even if they seem harsh, and that's helpful. Only a true friend would be able to do that.

Though I've only met him for a few months, I feel like I've known him longer. He's like the older brother I wished I had. I hope our friendship can last a lifetime, I've never regretted befriending him, I've never doubted the strength of our friendship. We'll stay in touch no matter what. Though, when seen in person, he can be very very odd and say/do weird things. But that just makes him all the more human.

Johann, keep your promises and don't give up your life just like that. I'll never be able to cope if you do that. I know you'll have an awesome future. And I wish you all the best in your SPM next year. Thanks for all the times you've been there to help me(tons and tons of times). I'm sorry for the times I'm not there for you, or can't give good help. Love you hero. I hope you and Jodi can last really long. AND I BETTER NOT LOSE CONTACT WITH YOU, EVER. Continue to blossom in your life as a young adult, you know you have awesome friends to back you up when you need it.

Make your breathing shallow

I'm currently being pierced through the abdomen by my brother. ANYWAYS. Today was boring. I'll edit this post later when I don't have a sword through my body. BYE.

A Great Big Hug (Part 2)

I'm a very moody person (according to many many sources). On some days, I can be crazy hyper till everyone thinks I'm weird and avoids me. On other days, I can be all emo and quiet till everyone thinks I'm weird and avoids me. Wait, all options equal to people avoiding me... Oh well. You guys have seen it with your own eyes. I'm very moody and love to mood swing a lot. I'm sensitive and critical (though I don't voice it out all of the time). Must be hard for my friends to keep up with my ever changing mood. It's a wonder why they still stick around and be my friend. I honestly do not see any sliver lining of being friends with myself. So that makes me have this secret worry\doubt that one day, my friends are going to realize that "Why bother be friends with such a physco" and just get up and leave. And day by day, I'm hoping it wouldn't happen. Cause I love my friends to the bone.  They can tell me this and that, but still I'll always possess this inner weakness\doubt\worry. But I'm eternally grateful that I have such friends. Even though I'm not super close with all of my friends, they still make my day and cheer me up when I need it. They make me laugh and cry, make me lame and crazy, and change me into an entirely different person. Thanks you guys.

Sophia Liew Yii Lin

The lamest person to walk the earth friend

Eventhough I've not been close with Sophia at all. I think our friendship has been better this year. I'm sorry if I come off offensive or distant at times. But you're a good friend :D You make people laugh AT YOU :D but on rare occasions WITH YOU. Work hard on your studies! All the best for next year's PMR. Have a great walk with the Lord.

Sophia, I'll miss all your lame jokes and random laughter. Your spontaneity and misspellings are all so entertaining. You need to find a man soon! I'm sure there's someone out there secretly admiring you. Don't be afraid to take the jump. You know even if you do fall, you have friends to catch you at the bottom! Every time I see someone laughing out of the blue, I'll think of the ever-so lame Sophia.

Caitlynn Zoe Zuzartee

My occasionally sick-thinking partner. 

Usually, when someone tells a remotely sick joke, me and Caitlynn would be the first to get it! I don't blame you if you think sick Caitlynn! It should be the person's fault for even saying it :D She bakes and makes the awesomest food for a 14 year old! Though sometimes, she gets a little crazed(murder-crazed :O) and has hearing problems, she makes your day so much more exciting (close to death)

Caitlynn's favourite all-time hobby: Shadowing easily annoyed people

Caitlynn, don't torture Xiu-Ying :( I wish you all the best in your cooking, studies(WHY ARE YOU SUDDENLY EXTRA SMART?), PMR, shadowing, hearing problems :D oh yeah, and not thinking sick (this is a HARD one)(damn, that just sounded sick). ANYWAYS, thanks for being my friend and cheering me up whenever I needed it! Sorry if I had ever done something wrong or offending. Wish you all the best in your future cooking show! (HAHA!)

Sabrina Chua BeiYu

The super ultra smart friend!

Sabrina is super ultra smart(because she's awesome in Chinese(the hardest subject of allllll!)) Although she's quiet and withdrawn at times, she's funny and caring once you get to know her better! She's an awesome helper if you encounter any problems in your studies (who doesn't). She good in ALL the languages (English, BM and Chinese) and she's Caitlynn's kitchen assistant!

Sabrina, all the best in your studies (like you need luck :D) I'm sorry if I had ever offended you in any way. Thanks for cheering me up those times I needed it! And thanks for being you! Best wishes!

And that's the conclusion of Part 2.
