Went to Ray's house yesterday around 12.00pm with the intention of helping her complete her overdue bio folio and her helping me complete my overdue chemistry folio. Had to call Phoebe 5 minutes after getting there cos neither of us even knew which experiments to write the reports on.

We got settled down at her desk, got our books out and I wrote sentence on my paper then Ray showed me Kane's (her adorable, half american, 4 year old cousin) photo album. After going through that, Ray and I started talking about the toys we played with as kids which led Ray to bring out a few of her old barbie dolls.

We got our creative juices and decided to give them a make-over. We cut and highlighted their hair and drew heavy make-up on them with magic markers and gel pens. We made them over according to stereotypes, a punk (which actually looked pretty cool), a slut (which looked like she had major sun burn cos I smudged light pink ink all over her face) and a goth (which ended up looking a psycho run-away bride who had been crying with make-up running down her face).

After that, Ray and I wanted to go to The Spring (it's a mall btw) to go watch a movie but there was no one to send us. The Spring is kinda close to Ray's house so we walked even though it was raining. Ray decided to do the rain dance where she twirled the umbrella, started skipping and twirling and singing like those over-happy people in old musicals. Both of us almost fell a few times and I almost pushed Ray into a huge deep drain. We kept bumping into each other and kept trying to avoid getting splashed with water by cars passing by and freaked out everytime we had to cross the road cos both of us are afraid of crossing roads. People on the street and in almost every car that passed by stared at us.

By the time we got The Spring, we were drenched from the knees down. Our shoes were so wet that every step we took, water would squirt out. Got inside the mall to find it in semi-darkness. There was some technical breakdown so the electricity was out and the only lights on were the back up generators. No electricity meant the cinema wouldn't be open. Ray and I wanted to kill ourselves at that point. All that trouble and then this happens. Many of the stores were still open though so we went to eat. Halfway through our meal, the electricity came back on.

Lights come back on.
Ray: *pumps fist into the the air* "Hoozah!" (inside thing)

We tried to get dry under the hand dryer in the bathroom but that was kinda hard so we just took off our shoes, put them in a plastic bag and walked around barefoot. Our jeans were covering half our feet so it wasn't as obvious but we still got a few strange looks. We tried to hold every persons gaze who passed by so they wouldn't look down and notice our feet which kinda worked but not really. Went to get our tickets for Jennifer's Body when we saw 3 girls from our school in the que next to ours at the ticket counter and Ray and I faced each other the whole time we were queuing up to avoid getting noticed by them.

We had one and a half hours to kill before the movie started so we went back to the bathroom and dried our shoes under the hand dryer. After almost an hour, we got them dry but not without everyone who came into the bathroom looking at us like we were homeless retards. Went to get ice cream form Just Desserts. I tried almost every flavour they had before deciding on what to get. The lady behind the counter was not happy about that.

After walking around (with our shoes on this time) for a while, went to watch the movie and dropped Ray home after that. I went over to Ray's with the intention of completing my school work this morning and came home with only one sentence written. For some reason, Ray and I always get ourselves into insane situations everytime we go out.

I. am. so. freaking. sad. :(

I had to get my laptop reformatted but my files couldn't be backed up so I lost every single file in my computer. Pictures, videos, music - all gone! What the fuck laaaa? I hate technology.

Instead of using facebook and twitter, we should all just live in some hut together with all our friends and family and sing kumbaya by the fire every night. That way, we wouldn't need social networks to stay in touch and wont feel heartsick when hundreds of songs you downloaded get deleted cos the only damn song we know is kumbaya. Wtf does kumbaya mean anyway?

On or more cheery note, school was hilarious today, as usual. Sara was absent so it was just Theresa, Phoebe, Ray and me today.

After recess, we were all playing kiddy games. Phoebe decided to play 'Mafia'. I used to play this in my pd school back in form 1 except we called it killer there. It's where everyone gets a piece of paper with 'citizen' written on it but one of the papers will have 'mafia' written on it. Whoever gets the mafia paper has to discretely wink at the others and if you get winked at, you die and the others have to guess who the mafia is.

Phoebe: *places the folded up pieces of paper on the desk*
Me: *takes the one in front of Ray*
Ray: *takes the one on front of me*
Me: "you know, maybe it was destiny that put our papers in front of us and we took each others. we just switched our destiny, we just changed the future!"
Ray: "whoa! what does your destiny say?"

After that, we kept calling it the destiny game and everytime Phoebe placed the papers on the desks, we'd all go crazy and scramble for them, trying to take each others, screaming "my destiny! my destiny!" We started messing about after that. I kept winking at everyone even though I wasn't the mafia and Phoebe kept yelling "you liar!", then we'd have to start all over again. HAHAH.

After we got bored of mafia, we played truth or dare. Instead of just using a regular pen or something like any other student would, we attached two highlighters by the caps and used that as the spinner which didn't really work out cos the highlighters kept coming apart and flying off the table everytime we spun it. Not to mention, it's impossible to play truth or dare with us cos we kept cheating by blowing the spinner in someone else's direction if it pointed towards us or asking lame stupid questions like "have you ever waxed your pubic hair?" We already know everything about each other, there was nothing to ask.

After we gave up on truth or dare, I spotted these baskets that the juniors who used our class in the afternoon session had woven out of coloured paper for art. So, I grabbed one and stuck on my head like a hat and had the brilliant idea to create a new game. Everyone did a ridiculous dance while balancing the baskets on their heads and if the basket falls, you lose. So we played that and I swear we were laughing like hyenas on weed.

Went to church this morning for St. Teresa's feast day cos our school is named after her. St. Jo boys didn't go so it was all girls. The St. Tre primary school girls sang the hymns pretty loud, it was so cute to listen to their kiddy voices. I like that St. Tre and St. Jo schools make their students go to church every first friday of the month and on Christian occasions. Its actually cool, everything is run by students and the whole cathedral is filled with students only so all around you see people in school uniforms. It doesn't hurt that lessons are cut to 25 minutes per period for the rest of the day to make it in time to go home by 12pm either.

Father Albert was walking around church talking to students after mass and showing everyone the peace sign with both hands. He saw me and said "Michelle, my dear! I told him I was moving and he went into full prayer mode, praying that everything goes well and gave me a hug. He's a nice white man. Oh, he’s dutch by the way.

Random;

Ray and Theresa pretend to be married and Sara (flower fass / ah fass) is their kid.
Ray: "ah fass ah, you know you are not apek like your parents you know."
Sara: "then?"
Ray: "you are adopted. you are actually a bangla."
Sara: *turns to Theresa* "mommy, daddy say I'm a bangla."

Making fun of our maths teacher's fake lashes.
Ray: "I think she can hear us. don't L-A-U-G-H."
Me: "you know, she can spell right? she's a teacher."
Ray: "S-H-I-T!"

Ray: *discretely draws a cute pig's face on Phoebe's and my arm*
Me: "what the-"
Ray: "you have just been porked!"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHAYNE ANDREW ESPECKERMAN!
You are one of the fun-est and funniest people I know and
always manage to make me laugh without even trying.
We're staying friends forever even if you dont want to.
We can finally go steal those alcoholic milkshakes
you're always talking about since you're legal now.
Have a freaking awesome legal 18th birthday.
Your Babypuke looooves you, Peanut!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHANA!
Have an awesome sweet 16.
See you in november, babe!

I got confirmed! To my non-catholic blog readers (I talk as if I have a million followers), confirmation is this just this church ceremony you have to do as a teenager where the dress code is all white making us look like the pure innocent angels we're not.

Ray and I needed to go the toilet 5 minutes before church began, so we had to run. So there we were, running across the huge church parking lot in our all white attire, my skirt flying around my knees, giggling like little girls. We looked like we were running away from our own wedding. We were dressed in all white right down to our underwear. Ray and I promised each other we'd wear white undies. HAHAH.

For confirmation, the bishop holds mass instead of the usual priest and he has to wear this tall pointy hat which I couldn't take my eyes off. I was resisting the urge to run up to the altar, grab it off his head and put it on. Ray was sitting behind me and I knew she was thinking the same thing too. After mass, instead of congratulating each other, the first thing we talked about was the hat.

You know what? This happened in august which was 2 months ago so I can't really remember anymore. Rachel is pretty much never going to give me the confirmation pictures so just decided to get the post over with.

Random;
Me: "you know I'm so easily influenced."
Rachel: "in what way?"
Me: "I was watching the history channel and it made me wanna study sejarah."
Rachel: "well-"
Me: "then I was watching this medical show, Second Opinion with Dr. Oz which I am now obsessed with by the way, and it made me wanna study bio."
Rachel: "so what did you study in the end?"
Me: "oh, I didnt study. I went on facebook instead."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOSHUA DARAN!
Stop being stuck up and keep in touch okay?
Kidding. I miss you and your funny laugh.
Hope you had an awesome day.

No studying at school today. Theresa and Phoebe skipped school so it was just Ray, Sara and me. We acted like complete idiots as usual. You know how when you're a kid, you make up your own games where you pretend to live a grown up life and you pretend to go to work and all. Well, today I realized that my friends and I still do that except in a really retarded way. Ray and I pretended to be apek chinese hairdressers and manicurists while Sara was a british tourist customer and we gave her hell. It was hilarious.

Random;

Pretending to be a chinese apek hairdresser with customer.
Me: "ok amoi, lu mau potong rambut berapa panjang?"
Sara: "just a little bit. about an inch or so."
Me: "ok, botak ah? ah, ok."
Sara: *waves hands frantically* "no! no! no! just-"
Me: "aiyoh, sudah potong oh. banyak cantik botak oh."

Me: "miss ah, lu mau dye rambut warna apa?"
Sara: "just a light brown."
Me: "mau dye pink dan hijau ah? ok."
Sara: "no! no! no! I said-"
Me: "hwah! baaanyak cantik lu punya rambut pink kaler oh."

Me: wei, lu pegi oder itu dim sum.
Sara: *in british accent* "you eat a lot of pork?"
Me: "cina maaa. number one babi fan."
Sara: *dies laughing*

MSN convo with Roisin and Sasha.
Roisin: I'm gonna die guys. I'm gonna be stuck in hell while they poke me with sharp things.
Me: ooooo, can I have your bed? (Roisin's bed is this woven rattan thing, its cool).
Roisin: yes, you can.
Sasha: I'm gonna miss you, Ro. I love you so much. I love you like how I love my guitar and I'll miss you like how I miss starbucks. (sasha is obsessed with her guitar and starbucks).
Roisin: AWWW!
Me: umm.. umm.. umm.. I like your bed :)
Roisin: HAHAHAH. I love you too, Michelle.
Sasha: WTF?! She just likes your bed and she gets the love?!

Hello, I'm sick.

I skipped school today meaning I skipped my biology exam. I love bio but I didn't study so its a good thing mom and I had to run in the rain from our car to church on saturday evening, making me sick so I dont have to sit for my bio exam. I have my EST exam on thursday which is my last paper and then freedom!

Well, not really, I'm actually gonna study really hard after exams and during the school holidays. I have a lot of catching up to do as a result of not paying attention in class after chapter 2 for every subject except for modern maths and add maths cos my teacher is scary. Even then, I didnt really pay attention, I just pretended to which is probably why I've failed add maths throughout the year. Yeah, this is what I get for constantly yakking away with the girls and acting out stupid chinese opera scenes with Ray and doing pretty much anything that would get us laughing instead of solving equations.

So, I think I have pets. There were 3 kittens and their mom (who I named The Bitch Cat at first cos she hissed at me when I tried to pet her kittens even though I gave her food) who were living behind my house. After a while, they got more friendly with me and then my mom started liking them so we give them food and they've never left my backyard since. We dont even really have names for them. We just call the mom cat 'Mommy Cat', the orangey-brown kitten 'Ginger', the black kitten 'Blackie' (but I call him 'Oreo' cos he's black and white) and the scared kitten who's always running away 'the scared one'. HAHAH. Oh, the mommy cat died though. A stray dog killed her so the poor kittens have no mom now. I can't believe I typed a whole paragraph about cats.

So... yeah, I dont have anything left to say. Will update about my confirmation when Ray sends me the pictures. Ray, some time before I'm 80 would be nice.

Random;

Me: "maybe I should name the black and white kitten Michael Jackson cos he's black on top and white underneath."
Ray: "uh, dude, Michael Jackson was the other way around."
Me: "oh, right."

Me: "we gave the cats food one day and they keep coming back for more."
Sara: "just like my aunty Mala."
Me: *dies laughing*

Happy Birthday, Charmaine !

I remember how we first met at Pn. Tengku's science tuition. I remember you spending the night in my hotel room in Ipoh after UPSR results were out, eating Pizza and talking about what our parents were giving us for getting straight As while my parents were away at some ball. I remember always walking around the school with you and Keshia everyday and how we always had a group prayer every morning before exams with Joshua as our priest. HAHAH. Ain't it funny how we clicked so easily and started out really close when we had just become friends in primary school and slowly drifted apart after a few years of friendship? Even after our stupid petty fights in form 1, even though we've both moved away from the small town we became friends in and are currently living in different continents, I'm glad we're still friends. I hope we can regain the friendship we had before all the high school drama got between us. I love you and I hope you had an awesome sweet 16.
