I know I'm not quite sane either. Haha.
Glor. Ely. Me. :)
Chiau. Glor. Ely. Me.make new friends but keep the old

Yesterday at Chiau Hui's was AWESOME.
Karis and Wendy couldn't make it, but I'm glad that the rest of us - Glor, Ely and I did.
:)
Looking forward to seeing you all in March!!! Hahaha. :)
PS: These are some of the AWESOMEST friends I have. & we've known each other since we were 10 years old. Same class in standard 4, still going strong.
Just to let you guys know, I felt so blessed yesterday. :D
And she's not gonna tell you why! :DD
Oh fine. My essay was shortlisted in the EduSmith Essay competition.
*dances around the room to some random Mamma Mia song*
Yeah, congratulations over the Ole BRATs today, fellow BRATs. Sandra, Kelvin, Dhinesh, Kah Mun, Kah Yan, Adrian. Did I miss anyone? Congrats, I can't wait to see my name in the papers next month.
But but the happiness of the Ole BRATs was cut short by a message from Kian Seong telling me that Teoh Yee Sook had passed on that morning.
Which was utterly STUPID. Because I had just prayed for him during mass yesterday. I was thinking about it because they were talking about sick people. And of course I thought bout him. Though I never knew him or talked to him before but when someone in the school is sick with a bad illness everyone tends to rally around him or her; it just gets passed on you know? That family semangat of standing behind our schoolmates whatever.
Yeah so it was STUPID because I'd just prayed for him yesterday evening. And the next morning, he was gone.
Apparently he was a really nice person to know. I'm sorry I never got to know him.
It SUCKS that he died TODAY, just before the reunion dinner tonight. I was so emotional, I went to the top of Kek Lok Si and shouted happy chinese new year, yee sook.
CHOY.
So when you're having your dinner tonight, let's think of someone who'll never again get to share that special once-a-year dinner with his family; think of a family, that will forever leave a seat at the table empty, never to be filled again.
Think of how short life is, and even if you're sad let's just enjoy Chinese New Year anyway. Because as we just found out, we never know which will be our last.
my best friend gave me the best advice
he said each day's a gift & not a given right
leave no stone unturned
leave your fears behind
& try to take the path less travelled by
that first step you take is the longest stride
if today was your last day
& tomorrow was too late
could you say goodbye to yesterday?
would you live each moment like your last?
leave old pictures in the past?
donate every dime you had?
if today was your last day
against the grain should be a way of life
what's worth the price is always worth the fight
every second counts 'cause
there's no second try
so live like you're never livin twice
don't take the free ride in your own life
if today was your last day
& tomorrow was too late
could you say goodbye to yesterday?
would you live each moment like your last?
leave old pictures in the past?
donate every dime you had?
would you call those friends you've never seen?
reminisce old memories?
would you forgive your enemies?
would you find that one your dreaming of?
swear up & down to God above
that you'll finally fall in love?
if today was your last day
if today was your last day
would you make it up by mending a broken heart
you know it's never too late
to shoot for the stars
regardless of who you are
so do whatever it takes
'cause you can't rewind
a moment in this life
let nothing stand in your way
cause the hands of time are never on your side
if today was your last day
& tomorrow was too late
could you say goodbye to yesterday?
would you live each moment like your last?
leave old pictures in the past?
donate every dime you had?
would you call those friends you've never seen?
reminisce old memories?
would you forgive your enemies?
would you find that one your dreaming of?
swear up & down to God above
that you'll finally fall in love?
if today was your last day
RIP, Yee Sook.
In Penang now, I shall soon die of homework overload because of all the days I've missed. :(
On the other hand, I went SHOPPING today while you all were still stuck in school. HAHAHA. Gurney Plaza's not bad now. :) I feel happy.
Retail therapy seriously works man.
*Justin, I want pictures from yesterday so HURRY UP LAH. I'll pixelate your face for you!
And now, I seriously have no mood to write that article. I wonder if I can get Sue Ann and Soraya to do the work for me.
Anybody going to Rihanna's?
I'm being happy! And everyone else is being funny :)
And Aaron's back. =.="
I think Aaron and Jonathan Wong LookKeeth are really alike. It's just a thought I had but yeah! Ed Boarders would know. They're both:
1. absolutely random
2. absolutely weird and
3. absof*ckinglutely annoying lah.
oh ohh and did I mention?
4. they're both chubby/flabby/fat.
HAHAHA.
But back to me.
I woke up sick on Sunday morning and stayed that way for the rest of the day. I was throwing up and going to the toilet. Ughhh. I tell you I could count all my ribs after that. It was SCARY.
And you know what's even better?
I lost 2 kg.
:(
Trust me that is so NOT a nice way to lost weight.
And I had to be sick on a Sunday too, when I had the entire day off. I could have finished my Physics PEKA, Chemistry PEKA, Add Maths, Karangan and my stupid CV that day but nooooo, I had to fall sick and spend most for the good part of Monday recovering and catching up. And I still am, right now.
BAH.
And typing my CV didn't make me feel any better either. It's painfully short compared to Xin Lin's. They HAD to go and hand out an overachiever's CV to serve as an example. Itellyou I've been digging things up like "2006: foreman for kemahiran hidup class" and putting that in.
(Don't tell me if it's not acceptable. I already put it in and am loathe to take anything out!!!!)
And I really don't like this mouse! Because I keep pressing the BACK button by mistake. Which is uber irritating if you're buffering a YouTube video. But wth, the Ed Board room is about the only place I can go online since I shorted the modem a month ago.
DON'T say anything, Izzy. You know it's your fault too. So there!
All things considered though, it's REALLY helping me on my new year's promise to study hard and stay focused. Mabel gave me this (uhhhhhhhhh) look when I passed up Add Maths and Mod Maths for the FIRST TIME in OVER A YEAR. (was celebrating then.)
Congratulate me lah :) It's really good effort. And I think I can understand Physics too. Hohoho.
Oh bugger it's gonna be 4.15 soon. But just to irritate fellow CHS-ians,
HAHAHA. Now go sweat your pants.
First term exam is MARCH 6 '09
Tata.
PS: Debbie just so you know, the school decided to upgrade every toilet in the entire school AT THE SAME TIME. Save for a few toilets that are so remote and out of reach that we have to walk up five flights of stairs to get to them!!
PPS: But the Block E toilet is now really nice! But they need more mirrors lah. The Block A toilet had better look this good.
PPPS: I just remembered that when Ian and I went to interview Pn Lee Kim Lai last year, we mentioned the poor condition of the school toilets. o.O I wonder if we're directly responsible for the portable toilets then.
Lily and Yee Aun have just left. Feeling lonely. But it's been a good day. I love school. I love the ed board.
My thoughts are really disjuncted; you can tell, right?
I'm thinking of quitting piano.
Sorry lah, but I can't even find a time for it. I have tuitions just about every day; I especially HATE Thursdays because I'm at school till 5pm in the stinking library being the Ketua Harian (and the people never turn up =.="), and after that I'm so tired but I have to go home because there's tuition from 6-8pm.
Yeah anyway. I still haven't found a slot for piano this year. :( may have to stop till May, when house practice ends.
Bah.
PS: Need to pee! But I HATE the portable toilets and I have not gone near them since. Gonna have to walk all the way to the top of Block A now, which is full of Indonesian workers smoking.
And no, I can't ask anyone to go with me because only Kai Boon and Adrian are here now.
HELP!
First week of school, okay lah. I'm sitting beside Mabel Loui and she's okay :) but I almost died when they plonked Ronnie and Kah Ming in front of me. I'd rather take 3rd row than be sitting behind them in 2nd!!
And I've been hanging around the ed board room a lot. I miss the seniors.
Last night, I had a really really long talk with my parents because I didn't want to miss out on tomorrow's BRATs meeting, but they felt that (of course) I should start studying NOW.
And I can see their point actually. I mean, 40-50s in all sciences and maths in form 4. I barely know my physics. I forgotten what I got for sejarah but it was like 50 too.
Yeah you don't feel so bad now right?
: (
IDK how but I've GOT to catch up. Not only keep up with form 5, but re-learn and revise form 4. I am NOT going to regret this year.
So because I argued so hard, the BRATs thing tomorrow had BETTER be worth it.
I heard somebody in the toilet! Eeep! He's waking up
MY DAD'S LAPTOP IS GIVING ME ATTITUDE. RAWR.
Almost literally. It's turned itself off 4 TIMES within the last half an hour. 4 times! Why didn't it give my sister this attitude huh? you tell me that, stupid fujitsu. It's not like I gave you any viruses right. If anyone has a virus and, therefore, a right to PMS, it's ME. I'm sniffling and blinking here in the ac/ed office. The day before school reopens too.
BAH.
I really am sick. ;(
This is SO not a good way to end the holidays.
Ian, this is all your fault!
But yesterday was a good, I enjoyed meeting up with the BRATs for the Drum Circle and the launching of Studio V. :) For a while i forgot about the SPM and going back to school the day after.
For a while.
I can't help wondering what the school term's gonna be like. :/
1. no more staying up late
2. no more slacking
3. no more using the internet so much
4. no more shopping sprees every fortnight
Yeah right, like I'll ever keep that one.
Before I ciao.
what my brother gave me for Christmas. =.="
The salad I helped to make!
Mixing the salad.
The Christmas tree.
The Ole BRATs!
Sister licking the pot after making sauce for the pizza. HAHAHAHA.
Pizza!
Camwhoring in front of the mirror at 2.30am.
Hwee Yeen and Ern Lyn at Bubba Gump Shrimp.
My lunch!
And last of allllllllll.
My back-to-school arsenal.
BRING IT ON, 2009!
x louise.
And so this is Christmas.
And what have we done?
Another year over
And a new one just begun.
And I didn't bother making any resolutions because as we all know, we never keep them.
Promises don't get broken so easily.
I just realized how utterly CUTE the blockquote is!! ♥♥♥
Heehee.
Can't resist it, gotta use it again la.
Good promises right? :DD (there are more. But they're private.)
Went out with Hwee Yeen and Ern Lyn today. Sucks la, I have all the pictures in my phone but I didn't bring the connecting cable. :// We had lunch at Bubba Gump Shrimp restaurant, which has this UBER COOL setting and interior decor. It's all from the movie Forrest Gump. Go watch it, losers. Go and eat there.
You know they were selling alcoholic drinks there? They didn't even put an age limit! We all wanted to give it a shot, but being good girls we didn't la.
Oh and we watched Bedtime Stories. Utterlylame la, haha. And just okay.
Back-to-School shopping list
1. Water bottle
(Ohhhhh fcuk can't believe I went to the Curve today and forgot to look for one. Bother.)
Oh yeah!! Can't believe I forgot this either.
OLE BRATS!!

Okay where was I?
Oh yeah. Back-to-School.
Scuks la, seeing as so many of my friends are free and off to college already. So even though I know form 5's gonna be a fun ride (even if it's hellish) it's not gonna be as fun. :/
Oh well what to do. Lemonade, Louise, LEMONADE.
Darn I didn't realize how long this post was. Blame the blockquote on being too cute.
Maybe I should promise to be less addicted to the internet for 2009.
anyhoo. Ciao!
edittt: congrats Joel on passing undang!! and the colour blind test, OMG so glad for that. hahaha.
