Tomorrow

I am in the midst of a last minute packing for tomorrow's 3 days 2 night
Year 11 Camp, facebooking and also getting ready for my Chinese Oral Trial.
Eek!

I just bought my very first pair of boots (yay!) today for the camp.

Yes, winter has just ended. Talk about bad timing.

I will take loads of pictures during the camp if time permits so stay

tune to my blog ;D

shi-yi.blogspot.com's COMEBACK

I am here to deliver a request made by my puny little best friend,

who is upset or so I would like to believe that I have not been

updating my blog for what it seemed for months )':

Anyway, as most of you people know, I am now living and studying in

Melbourne :7 The transition was rather smooth, I think. Well, the funny

thing is I tend to wipe out all the unpleasant memories so yeah ;D

Uh kayy.. updates I shall make now.

1. (I always thought writing in point form is an act of laziness but here

I am succumbing to erm...laziness?) I have friends. LOL! I remembered

picturing myself having recess in the toilet alone before I came to Melbourne.

What if no one understands what I am saying? What if the teachers

think I am stupid? What if I have no want likes me? What if people see

me as a freak? There were so many what ifs and well.....

...in the end I found out that people DO understand me or

at least they look like they do :X, the teachers think I am brilliant
HAHAHA joke! Australian teachers are way too polite and
shower students with praises whether they truly deserve
them or not. Being educated in an Asian country, I some times
find it AWKWARD to you know, accept compliments....
wait, who am I kidding, I am Shi-Yi =.= I do get praises ALL

THE TIME ;D hehhehehhe! People DO like me for what I am,
right Su Yee, XinYe, Rita, Elaine, Michelle, Emily, Ching Yi??
LOL And of course, I am still a freak :x

2. I tried out two new subjects- Economics and Accounting. HUMPH.

Unfortunately, I got Mr. 烂人 for Economics and didn't get to experience
the JOY of macro and micro economics that I heard Michelle and Melissa

talk about :X sppsh! Accounting is like maths, so systematic and
logical that it is impossible not to get the concepts right ;D

3. I represented my school badminton team to play badminton. sppsh,

of course! what do you think? as a ball girl? hahahha, don't worry,
Adele, I won't snatch the glorious job of yours :)

Oh yeah, today was the last match of the year ;X Jacquieeeeeeee
I am so sadddddd!

4. I debated for the first time of my life. And it was darn bloody
scary even though there were only 14 audience =.=
hahahhahahahha!

5. I am taking public transportation to school. Yep, I am an independent

woman and am ready to take on all sorts of hurdles and challenges in life

so bring it on! Ohmph! Yes, I am still lame. I know. I know. Apparently,
lameness stays even if you have cross the ocean .="

6. I am washing the dishes now. Sad case, man ;X

7. I decided to continue blogging for the sake of keeping in touch with

my dear Malaysian peeps (esp. Carmen hahah) and also the bloggers.

All right! That's it for now. See ya'!

2011-01-30T13:13:00.007+08:00

Since I don't have wifi at my new house, I typed this post, saved it in a USB and went to the library to post it. So yea, this is a LATE post.

24.1.2011

HELLO. Readers, HOW ARE YOU?
I really miss you guys.
It has been too long since yours truly blog.

I haven’t got any wifi installed in the
new house so I can’t access to the internet.
I had to use the public libraries’ computer.
Since I am a member of a group of libraries,
I am entitled to borrow a maximum number of
70 books at one go for a period of 30 days (about a month!).
The computers in the library are free to be used too.

The BEST thing is there were no charges needed for the
membership card. Yep, that’s what you get for
being a first world country’s resident. Well, of course
you have to pay higher tax compared to when residing
in Malaysia.

I went to the city today which explains my lift of mood. YAY.
Seeing tall, compact buildings and people of all skin colors
with their distinctive style of dressing speaking their
native language really got me giddy inside out.

If it weren’t because I was rushing to the bookstore to
buy my school textbooks, I would have park myself on
one of the benches beside the busy sidewalk
and people-watch.

According to Jamie (the daughter of my dad’s friend),

the bookstore, which is at the intersection of Longsdale

and Swanston Street, sells secondhand school text books.
Knowing this, my mum bought us the daily train ticket
to the city. Unfortunately, the three novels- Stolen, Night
and Hannah Montana required for my English class
were sold out. Looks like I have to get brand new ones. HUMPH.

The past few days have been a pretty big letdown for me.

I felt like hopping on the next flight available
back to Malaysia. THEN, I visited Carmen’s and Ariel’s blogs.
I was cheered up instantly. I smiled and couldn’t help
laughing out loud like crazy (I was in the library and
it was so quiet that even if a needle drop on the

carpeted floor, you can still hear the ‘TING’ sound)

especially when I read what Carmen missed about me.

HARHARHAR. The way I laugh?

OH MY GAWT. What is wrong with my LAUGH?
HUH? CARMEN TEOH KA BOOM?!
I like the Carmen ugly part though.

I vaguely remember running the memories
I had with the MINI PABOs through my head

as I steadied myself towards the red and white airplane.

It was so SAD (not the memories, idiot). I felt like the HEROINE

giving up her wonderful life and fantastic friends

to save another country from boredom.
(PIC 4)(need to find)

OH. Do you want to see my new room?

Tell you something…

I don’t think I can take this anymore,

another 311 days hanging the clothes,
washing the dishes, helping to prepare lunch and dinner, etc.
Before this, I, Lady Shi-Yi, NEVER had to do any house work.

Auntie Liu, come back to Lady Shi-Yi.
I will never complain about your horrible cooking skills

(as if you have any HAHAHAHAHHAHA).

I even assembled my very own WHITE CUPBOARD.

Brava Lady! Brava, brava dear Lady!

This white cupboard comes in a flat pack,

which my mum purchased from the REJECT SHOP.

Jeez, I wished MR REJECT SHOP will read my blog

because the next thing I am going to say is,

CHANGE IT! CHANGE THE NAME OF YOUR SHOP!

Aiyo, how would you feel if someone walks into your bedroom,
stares with total adoration at your white cupboard

and says enviously, Oh boy, this must has cost you

an arm and a leg. Lovely thing, isn’t it? Where did you get

this baby from? I MUST HAVE IT. I MUST. SO, DO TELL ME.

You cough and smile feeblishly in vain hope to

cover the embarrassment you are about to face.

Oh, this white cupboard? *waves hand in the air as

if it cost a toenail and an eyelash*

I…got this baby from…THE REJECT SHOP *DUM DUM DUM*

EPIC SILENCE. Then, you laugh again.

He or she laughs out of plain courtesy

and leaves without asking you where THE REJECT SHOP is

while you run from behind and try to explain

that the items sold at THE REJECT SHOP

are all good and new, not rejected things other people leave

behind.

Walao. I just realized how lame I was

in the last three paragraphs.

Talking to myself. Well. Well. Soon I will be telling jokes to

my imaginary friends.

=.=

Do you still remember me bragging about my

sacrifice for making little cute cards for my besties?

Scratch that. THIS IS 100 times more tiring and energy

consuming. My bare hands screwed the nails into

the holes until they turned red and blotchy.

Even after three days, I still am proud with my ability

to “build” my cupboard from “scratch”.
HEHEHEHHEHE. Looks like studying Kemahiran Hidup

for three years paid off handsomely. Thank you, Puan Rahaya.

GUESS WHAT PEOPLE OF THE CYBER WORLD?
My new school is having an overnight orientation program

for all oversea new students this Thursday.

I really am excited!

WHEE~

I wonder who will be my future school mates
and potential friends. I can’t wait.
Whenever there is a big event coming up,
I am usually excited first, then, nervous the night before.

HAHHAAaaaaa ha. Ok. I think I am a little scared now. Pray hard for me, OK?

OH. I am finally getting a mobile phone. My OWN phone.

I know right? How can the Lady not have one when everyone

else have it since primary school days. Nevermind.

At least I have a BUBBLEGUM PINK laptop, which allows me

to watch LOADS OF KOREAN AND TAIWANESE DRAMAS.
Here is the list of shows I have watched so far via this laptop
Since my dad bought it for me last year in August:
1. (Korean) Boys Over Flowers
2. (Korean) You Are Beautiful
3. (Taiwanese) Summer Desire

4. (Korean) Sungkyunwan Scandal

5. (Korean) Playful Kiss
6. (Korean) Shining Inheritance/Brilliant Legacy
7. (Taiwanese)(movie) Love Announcement
8. (Taiwanese) Hot Shot
9. (Korean) Princess Hours
10. (Taiwanese) Gong Zhu Xiao Mei

11. (Korean) Dream High

I saw this LG KU3800 pink flip phone with LED lights

at the LG CYON website. Yep, it is a CYON phone.
Many Korean celebrities had advertised for LG CYON

Mobile phones. Lee Min Ho, SNSD, Big Band, 2NE1 are

among the ambassadors. AHH! AWESOME MUCH?!

Before you get too happy, GET THIS- LG KU3800 was only released in
Korea on the December 2010. =.=

So, think. Aussie surely won’t have that model in the market yet.

Malaysia… wait for 100 years later lah.

I WANT THIS I WANT THIS

I hope the weather tomorrow will be like how

Subang Jaya, Malaysia was in December. Not sunny yet not chilly.

I cannot stand Melbourne’s weather.

Last night was chili pepper hot. So, I just used one layer of quilt.

I tell you, don’t play play because THE NEXT MORNING WAS

FREEZING COLD. I regretted keeping away my second layer of quilt.

Really. Melbourne’s weather is unpredictable unlike

other countries with four seasons. Sometimes, you

will get four seasons in one day. SERIOUS. My parents

studied there so they know, okay.

Oops. I have almost forgotten to tell you what

happened on my arrival day in Melbourne Airport.

We MISSED OUT one of the boxes. Yes, we were supposed

to collect 6 boxes from the conveyer belt BUT we didn’t

count them to make sure we had collected all of them

before leaving the airport.

Back in the new house, my mum was telling

my uncle about the“very good” and “has two handles at it sides”

cooking wok she bought in Malaysia,

which my uncle remarked,
“Aiya. You can get this kind of wok over here.

Nothing special about it!”

Feeling insulted, she ordered me to bring out

the box that contained the wok because I think

she wants to prove her point or whatever.

So, I went to search and OH NO!

YEP. THAT WAS HOW WE DISCOVERED THAT

OUR NUMBER 6th BOX WAS NO WHERE TO

BE FOUND.

Alright. That’s all for today. I hope that

this long post of 1390 words will make up for my absence

of blogging in the past few days.

I shall end this post with….

2011-01-18T23:02:00.005+08:00

Ying Qi just came over to pass me the
thumb drive which contains all our pictures
taken together in the past.

Yep, SHE DOESN'T KNOW THAT
THERE IS SUCH THING AS EMAIL.
WHY HELLO YING QI WELCOME TO THE 21st CENTURY???!

I just realised that I sounded like an
ungrateful best friend. ehhehe.

OK. How about this...

I am so touched
until my eyes had popped,
until I sang 12 different Chinese New Year songs,
until I don't mind admitting you are going to be taller than me ONE DAY(not today),
until I am done plucking Carmen's eyebrows and am proceeding to Min Ling's,
until I

THANK YOU YING QI THE BUSHMOES
(yep, u have recently upgraded!)
for coming all the way JUST TO GIVE
ME THE PICTURES.

Thank you for the card and photo frame you gave
me last Friday. They(the photo frame and card you idiot)

Imma missing you :))

Why, HELLO ARIEL.

2011-01-17T23:45:00.002+08:00

" I, Tio Min Ling, is a sheep. Everyone knows sheeps are stupid but you never know(inside joke) because now I am going to be the MINI PABO's BABO!"

" I, Ng Shi-Yi, the awesome human being, am going to hand over the MINI SHI-YI title to Tio Min Ling, who is going to change the title to the MINI PABOs"

#Sorry, I don't have the certificate so I don't know

the exact words. But the main content is like that lah.

Confuse?

Ok, to those who DON'T KNOW US,

my friends and I are generally whacky people.

We have our very own idea of fun, which usually includes
making up meaningless songs (hua ya kai ya song,

chicken ball song & mountain song)and then later on

belting them out loud in class, having themed outings,

cooking (or rather dumping anything edible into one bowl) food,

making "perjanjians", etc.

Instead of having a regular Farewell Party for me

like any other sane people would, we, the MINI PABOs,

decided to conduct a ceromony after having lunch

together at Daorae Korean BBQ.

OH. Guess what was our THEME for that day?!!

SINGLE LADIES. Credits to Miss Ariel, the Tongkei Fanshee.

Yep, surprisingly, all of us are single.

I know right? HAHAHHAHAR

i can be so thick skin sometimes

now you know why i am single HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAH

We had to wear rings BUT BUT BUT SOME PEOPLE

FORGOTTEN. you know who you are.

On the 14th of January,immediately after school,

YQ, CT and LOO followed YAP back to her house

to get dressed while TIO and AC went back to
their respective houses.

Since I already left school for good,
I went straight from BP lab to YAP's.

Then bblalalalabla bla i am too lazy to type already.

YQ, YAP and I were the last to arrive at Daorae.

It was 2:30 already and the restaurant closes at 3:15.

Thank God smart Carmen helped us to order before we came

or else we would probably go to Mc Donalds to eat.

The food was great. Mainly because there was PORK.

hahahahaha. BBQ PORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because we were the LAST CUSTOMERS in Daorae,

the waiters stood in a line and bid us farewell.

HARHARHARHAR. I bet they couldn't wait to get rid of us

behind their smiles and "KAM SA MI DAs".

OH GUESS WHAT? My father fetch us back to
Denise's usind A CAR.
SEVEN OF US I TELL YOU!
Of course, I sat in front beside my father so the
six of them had to squeeze behind. MUAHHAHAHAH.
Imma so evil!

LOOK! YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE MIN LING...

WHERE ARE YOU MIN LING? MEH MEH MEH...

I SEE A MUSHROOM HEAD. THERE YOU ARE!

TIO MIN LING IS ALIVE.

Back in Denise's.

What happened next in Denise's is private so I won't tell you anything.

So bye bye.

Shin Yee

2011-01-17T22:15:00.034+08:00

the little something you do

I am so touched
until my eyebrows are popping out,
until I feel like singing Chinese New Year song,
until I don't mind standing in the rectangle,
until I feel like plucking Carmen's eyebrows,
until I

WHAT IS IT WHAT IS IT??!!!!

We were in the same class in primary school

but we never mixed.

She always gets position NO 1 for every school examination.
TO me, getting into the top 10 was already considered GOOD.

She always sits in the first row and seldom open her mouth.
(yawning does not count so don't try to be smart alex with me).

She pays 100% attention during class.
I give 10% attention to whoever teaching infront of the class.

Needless to say, I always sit at the back row,
busy passing notes to my friends.

Fate must have wanted us to be friends
because we got into the same secondary school and
were placed in the same class. We didn't know anyone else
besides each other so we chose to be desk partners.
We got along quite well and often hung out together.

Unfortunately, we were placed in different classes during
Form 2. At first, we tried keeping in touch by writing letters to
each other. Then, it became tiresome.

Nowadays, we only talked once or twice in a
few months. Sometimes, we just HI and BYE when
we walk past one another.

THAT WAS WHY I WAS SO SURPRISED WHEN
SHE CAME TO MY HOUSE TODAY JUST TO BID
ME FAREWELL AND HAND ME OVER A PRESENT
AND A LETTER.

Thank you, Looi Shin Yee.

2011-01-17T00:40:00.011+08:00

Thank you MINI PABOs/ EX MINI SHI-YI

for all the wonderful memories.

You guys are really awesome.

I hope that I can find people as wacky as

you guys in Aussie. Cross your fingers and

hope for the best for me.

Tan Ying Qi aka Fuai Gua the Bushmo

with brains as big as mine.

You are AWESOME+BRILLIANT which is why we click so well.

MUST SKYPE OKAY OR ELSE OR ELSE YOU WILL HAVE

ANOTHER MO AND BECOME THE BUSHMOES INSTEAD OF

THE BUSHMO.

I will never forget those epic moments with you:

brainstorming for ideas during NiE Mag Inc. Competition,

decorating the class's notice board together,

hanging Jacie's bag on the wall behind the classroom,

pretending to cut Ian's hair which nearly

got you bashed up by him, messing up with

Winson's pencil case by cellophane taping it,

having loads of sleepovers together,

writing love notes to Sweetie Baby pretending

we are guys HAhahahHA that girl still doesn't know

we were behind it HAHAHAhahah,

painting rocks for Teacher's Day,

performing for Merdeka Day,

plotting how to get into the Editorial Board

(remember turning the door knob

reaaaal slowly while waiting for Pn Arni to call us?), etc.

THERE ARE JUST TOO MANY TO LIST THEM ALL HERE.
12 BLOODY YEARS I TELL YOU HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Tio Min Ling aka Ferococcus Laila

You are HILARIOUS and CRAPISH.

Yep, you definitely live up to your self proclaimed-

THE CRAP QUEEN title.

You never fail to brighten up my day

with your lame comments.

Unless I am not

THE BEAUTIFUL MARGAROT PEE, I don't think

I would be able to forget that clapping hands thing

you always do when you give out those infamous

enormous laughs.

You may be loony at times

BUT in general you have a good heart and have

an unbeatable high spirit.

I just know that you

will be sucessful in your future.

BELIEVE ME, girl, you rock!! Look, I am

not just saying this because you dedicated

an awesome post about me in your blog. HARHARHARHAR.

To anyone interested:

http://memories-careentml.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html#5126405656120086779

Is it charisma that you have or

what's that your big mouth of yours spit out?

You actually got me inspired a little bit.

Because of you , I took THE TWELVEANS RUN

seriously and became interested in hip-hop dance.

I trust that you will uphold the MINI PABO's BABO

title with honour and ~~cough~~ dignity.

MUST SKPE AT LEAST ONE WEEK ONCE, OK?

Denice Loo Sze Shan aka The Toilet

YOU ARE MAD.

The only thing that i won't miss

about you is your uncanny habbit of

pinching people's ass for no reason.

You the MOST DETERMINE, HEADSTRONG

and HARDWORKING friend I ever had

besides Jacie. HAHHAR.

Whenever I feel like slacking or giving up

during preparation for school examination,

I'll think of the time when we were at Jacie's

house for sleepover, you had the HIstory textbook

firmly planted in your hands,

refusing to play with me (I know right,

I am so childish. I like to play, cannot eh?).

Keep in touch via facebook, you better :)

Carmen Teoh Kah Woon aka Ka Boom

the Mantoe Faeces

YOU ARE LOUD AND NON-SENSICAL

SO THAT'S WHY I LIKE YOU.

Thank you for the colourful beaded necklace.

I don't know which one I'll miss more-

the lame phone calls with you or

the random stories about your hamsters/

condominium pipe/ pork noodles/your parents

kayak until reach the shore/etc.

You are actually quite sensitive and thoughtful.

Okkay, please don't get too happy.

This will be the LAST TIME I shall praise you

in words or verbally, ARASO?

Im ma miss you A LOT. Be yourself and

never change for a dude just so you can

wear pink coloured couple shirt with him =.=

PS: I AM ACTUALLY MUCH TALLER THAN HER IN REAL LIFE. SHE CHEATED IN THAT PHOTO!

Ariel Chen Ee Dong aka Tonkei

the Moodless Duchess.

YOU ARE A FAIL FANSHEE

but it's OK because I like fanshees

and this has absolutely nothing to do

with being one too. HARHARHARHAR.

You don't talk much unless you are excited

about the conversation taking place.

You are observant which is why you

are the BEST ARTIST I have met so far.

I wonder if I can find another Ariel in Aussie

that is as brilliant as you in drawing.

I am pretty sure that I will miss you. Email me
~~if you are free.~~ at least 3 times every month
because I say so :)

Denise Yap the Dobiman

YOU ARE ONE OF A KIND.

I wished I have started sitting behind

you since last year because throwing

your blazer over your hair and watch

your reaction is actually very entertaining

and satisfying. HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA.

You are smart and conscientious

so work hard!

I have no doubt that you will excel in your studies.

Well, if you don't (choi choi choi choi!),

you can always open a Dobi and be a Dobiman.

Then, maybe you can hire us to be

your MINI DOBIMANS. HAHHAHAHAHA.

Keep in touch!

2011-01-16T18:56:00.002+08:00

this is not a goodbye,
just a long holiday.

A lot of people asked me
why am I migrating/moving to Aussie.

1. I never said I was migrating/ moving. =.=
I am just going to there to study.

2. My parents are hoping to give me opportunities.
Opportunities I can achieve based
on my abilities instead of skin colour
or political connections.

3. Malaysian education system
doesn't seem to show any improvement
rather the opposite. Remember on the
9th of July 2009, Malaysian government
announed that they are reverting the
medium of instruction of Science and
Mathematics to Bahasa Melayu?

4. The very corrupted judical system
and political system Malaysia has.
My parents don't think that I will
have a fair play here.

5. ~~The school uniforms in Aussie~~
~~are prettier because I am that shallow.~~

2011-01-15T12:34:00.003+08:00

I AM SHI-HUI AND I HAVE THE HIGHEST RANK IN THE HIERARCHY OF AWESOMENESS, NOW I REQUEST YOU TO GIVE ME THE HIGEST OF FIVES, AS BARNEY STINSON REQUIRES EVERY TEN SECONDS!

I HEREBY HACKED SHI-YI'S ACCOUNT SO WE CAN ALL SEE THE UGLY SIDE OF SHI-YI, WHICH YOU SEE ALMOST EVERYDAY, IF YOU LIVE/ GO TO SCHOOL WITH HER. :D AND I STILL CANT GET OVER THE FACT THAT SHE HAS FRIENDS. HOW MUCH DID SHE PAY YOU GUYS? :O

XOX,
SHI-HUI
Ps. SHE PAID ME A HUGE SUM OF MONEY TO BE HER SISTER.

Late to school

2011-01-15T10:50:00.004+08:00

10.1.2011

"HELLO SHI-YI!!!!

hahahahahahahhahahaHAHAHHAHAHAH"

was my bunch of crazy, lunatic friends' way
of greeting me as I stepped into the classroom.

Yes, I was late.
I had to stand infront of the assembly hall
for 20 minutes, which was our school's
brilliant idea to punish the late commers.

Our school is rectangular in shape
made out of four blocks of classrooms,
which are right angled to one another.

All the students were lining up infront of
their classrooms, waiting for their subject teachers
to arrive.

Guess what's in the middle of the rectangular?
Me and the assembly hall.
Absolutely wonderful, no?

There were 10 other late commers besides me.
All of us stood in one bloody straight line(another brilliant
idea of Pn. Teo's. FYI: She was late for our school's Prefect Dinner
and why wasn't she punished to stand on the stage?).

To make things "better", I was the only one wearing blazer
among all the "offenders".

Wee~ I must have had an absolutely fantastic time.

2011-01-14T19:24:00.004+08:00

I am in a quick sand.
I am so depressed.
10 tonnes of weights are being slung around my neck,
dragging my limbs down.

The last few hours happened so fast like a whirwind.
What's wrong with me?
It's not like I miss them terribly.
No. Not that. I just don't know what's wrong with me.

I am in a quick sand.

This is not a song.

2011-01-10T16:42:00.003+08:00

I am dead exhausted. But I am still hanging on.

My sister and I in Raffles Hotel's toilet..

Me, using toothpick to cut open the kiwi fruits.
Look, there weren't any knifes in the car and
I was hungry, OK?

Hello. Back to school again.

I was in Singapore for four days because
my parents had to get my sister's scholarship
terminated, wait for her to receive her testimonial
and her gold medal+$200+certificate.

Guess what? My mum said OK so I can go to
Daori with you guys this Friday.

Anyway, school today was boring.
My classmates were concentrating real hard
during classes. No one was paying attention to me.
Staring into spaces, pretending to listen to
the monotonous voice of the subjects teachers
were suprisingly harder than I thought.

I made a few cute cards for my girlfriends last
night. I hope they would like it. Please do as I
have been surfing the internet, using my bare hands
to colour my drawings, cutting the drawings, glueing
the drawings onto coloured papers, then, finally
writing messages behind the drawings.

I am tempted to post the cards here but... ...
you would have to wait because the receivers
have not seen them yet.

I am going to school tomorrow. Wee~
It's going to be my last week in SMK USJ 12.
I am not sad to leave somehow.
I am ready to venture for the better.
Wish me luck.
I shall excel in Aussie. I must :) !!

Someone messed up my hair

2011-01-06T17:40:00.006+08:00

I am kinda pissed off now.
I was using one of the computers in
the computer room in Hwa Chong Boarding House.

Then, someone walked passed me from behind and
stucked "IT'S" FILTHY HAND into MY HAIR.
Then, "it" rubed "it's" palms against my hair and
messed it all up while doing so.

I was so shocked that I turned my head like real
slow.

Guess whta? I don't even know who she is.
I just glared at her," What?"

She was like," Nothing."

Ohmygawd mademoiselle, you (who are you?) had
my hair all messed up and you had the nerve to say
nothing?

You call yourself a scholarship holder?
Like seriously, where is your manners?

When I told my mum, my mum was like,
maybe that girl mistaken me for my sister
or something because we look alike.

WTF? !@%$

Well, OK. If you have mistaken me for someone else
after you have messed up *cringes* my hair and when I turned my
head, surely you would have realised that I am the wrong person.

WHICH MEANS YOU SHOULD BLOODY APPOLOGISE?
NO?

2011-01-05T21:50:00.003+08:00

On the move :)

Hello there, as a few of you might already know,
I am going to Melbourne, Australia to study Year 11
at the end of this month.

Yep. Now the secret is out.

I was always making trips to Melbourne and
a few of my close friends were like,
Huh? 3 weeks? To Melbourne AGAIN?
Why are you always going there for holiday?
What's there to do there?

Holiday? Hah. I wished.
Dude, I am going to study there.

Since my new school in Melbourne is
not commencing until the 1st of February,
I will be still attending SMK USJ 12
in Malaysia.

So far, I have only told Ying Qi, Denise Yap,
Denice Loo, Min Ling, Carmen, Ariel,
Mrs Lee(the auntie who fetches me to school every day
without fail and horns before she has even reached the street of my house),
Miss Chin(my piano teacher which I detest),
Ms Tan( my passionate Chinese language tuition teacher), and
Divyanna( the AJK prefect, whom I told only because Min Ling
wanted to have the same duty with me during recess).

Alright, I am off to call Jacie and tell her since I am in
Singapore now and she is too, so, the phone costs would
be less.

Adios!

2011-01-03T20:38:00.006+08:00

I just got off the phone with Michelle Chua.

She was like, can you tell me the anwsers for
today's English homework?

Thinking that I would be transfering to a new school soon,
I didn't bother to do the comprehension questions given by
Ms Shirley.

But being my usual nice self, I reluctantly paused
the Taiwanese drama 篮球火, promised to complete
the questions and call her back.

Bah.

Really. Why am I even typing all these?

Duh. I am a nice person.

Bye! Off to watch 篮球火!

公主小妹!

2010-12-29T23:29:00.007+08:00

Hello. I am watching 公主小妹!
I know I know it is a 2007 Taiwan show.
So what?
WOW. I didn't know Wu Chun is so......
I am speechless.
I wish I am a guy right now.

PS: Ying Qi, why aren't you replying my email? :/

awake

2010-12-28T03:20:00.010+08:00

3:30am.

OMG. I know. I can't sleep. Help me.

My brain wants to play. She (shush, the brain is highly
sensitive regarding its gender) refuses to have ice cream with
Kim Hyun Joong and Takaeshi Kaneshiro. Yep, she says
she wants to make me suffer. So, here I am in cold, hard Earth,
writing about..her..my brain? Are you happy now, dear brain, satisfied
enough to bring me to Kim Hyun Joong?

Oh, wait. She is dancing now.
The left side of her is doing the Macalana
but the right side of her wants to break dance instead.

Oh gosh, they are cat-fighting now.

2010-12-22T17:52:00.009+08:00

If perfect is what you are searching for

then just stay the same.

This week is one special week to me as two of
my best friends are celebrating their Sweet Sixteenth.

Jacie Law, whom I known for 3 years has officialy turned 16
last Sunday, was out of town so she could not celebrate with
me over candles and balloons. Hopefully this Saturday would not
be too late?
You are the clumsiest, chubbiest (LOL! you are not taking this seriously, are you?!)
and most comfortable friend to be with. I just know I can call you any time.

Min Ling, whom I befriended with since 13 and had since
become my closest and oldest secondary school mate.

You were sitting in the Dataran with your back facing me.
Your ponytail was swinging like a pendulum.
Wow, what an animated person you are, I thought.
That was the first time I saw you.

You are the happiest, hippest (sort of!) and
the most honest friend I have know so far.

You can tell me point blank
how horrible my new hairstyle is without bothering
to be diplomatic. haha. Sometimes you hurt my feelings
but I guess it is alright.

I went to her work place during lunch hour
to have lunch with her on Tuesday.
Sadly, I did not take any pictures with her.
BUT. I did took couple of snap shots of the birthday
card I made for her. heheheh!!

Hope you have a lovely weekend. Cheers!

2010-12-20T15:09:00.003+08:00

Mum said not to speak to strangers.

Sounds familiar?

Out of utter boredom, I went through
my Facebook Friends List and did a

neat analysation on it.

I "disected" my friends list into several parts:

25%:

Who are you? Do I know you?
Why on earth did I accept your friend request?
In the past, I have always accepted people's friend requests without
checking out their profile because I wasn't actively using
my Facebook account to err...socialize? The truth is I personally
added not more than 10 person.

There was once my friend used my account to add some
random people. Sorry if you are one of them. Don't worry,
I deleted you. hahahah.

60%:

Oh. I see you in school before. Hi? Bye?

10%:

Yea. Ok. We talked.

5%:

The actual number of people I interact with via Facebook
right now.

That's why I decided to delete the 25%.

You probably wouldn't even know
I have deleted you. haha.

Cheers! I wanna watch Korean dramas! WEE~

2010-12-11T10:00:00.007+08:00

I'm back?

The reasons behind the lack of updates:

1. Got my hair cut by my mum yesterday! Not bad, eh?

2. Finished 28 episodes of 찬란한 유산 / Chanranhan Yusan!!
Omg! Awesome drama!

Bae Soo Bin looks like Takeshi Kaneshiro, no?

3. In the midst of watching 궁, Hanja!

Kinda slow BUT
I really like Kim Jeong Hoon!
I googled him and imagine the shock I got when I saw
this: Born in 1980.... which means he is 30 now!
SO OLD!!!! ahhhhh! Hanja was aired in 2006 so he
must be 26 then. GOSH. He looks YOUNG and CUTE right?
hmm. Some of my cousins are 30 too but PLEASE really,
HOW ON EARTH CAN THEY(my cousins) COMPETE WITH Jeong Hoon?!

4. Had a day out with Jacie and Ying Qi:
Lunch in Delicious@ 1 Utama,
Watched Made of Honour @ Jacie's AV room,
Did art & craft (boring like shit. what to do?),
Had dinner cooked by Jacie's mum.
PICTURES: ( taken before I got my hair cut)

5. Got a new watch from French Connection/ FCUK!

6. Watched Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallow Part 1.

One of the best HP movie! LOVE IT although I DID

jumped when Nagini sprung his head towards Harry.

Day 10th @ Melbourne

aussie aussie aussie

oi oi oi!

aussie oi! aussie oi!

How are you?- a common greeting the Aussies use.

I suppose one would reply,

" I am fine, thank you." or

" I was fine until you came along." or

something like that!

But no, the Aussies don't.

They reply, " How are you going?" or " How are you?"

Weird, huh?

So, in the end, everyone just go asking around

with no one actually anwsering.

Anyway, I was meaning to post this up on Monday evening but Christopher barbequed sausages,

fish fillet, steak and chicken and Auntie Ann said

we MUST eat it while they are PIPING HOT.

Mum, sis, Chris and I went to Boxhill for dinner.

Did you know that Boxhill is literally

PACKED WITH CHINESE?!

Everywhere you turn, yep, north, south, east, west,

you would see an Asian face staring back at you!

I felt like I was stepping onto the streets of Beijing!

I LOVE IT!

ASIAN PRIDE!(when I blurted out these words,

stupid Chris laughed)

There were many Chinese restaurant to choose from.

The best thing is, I can get pork from

any of those restaurants!

YESS! Back home in Malaysia,

you don't see pork being sold commonly,

let alone eat it!

PORK IS THAT RARE IN M'SIA!!!!

I made Hui(my sis) to take my picture which

she reluctantly agreed and called me a vain pain.

HUMPH!

Then, this stupid afro guy just HAD to jump in

at the back. Some people just don't know that they

are not wanted.

LOOK! FOOD! PORK!
Eventually, mum decided to have dinner
in a Malaysian cuisine.
YUM!
Mum asked Chris to try our congee but he
being stubborn said no. He doesn't like wet food.
Oh, whatever. His loss=MY GAIN!!! hahahahaha.

HEYY! LOOK AGAIN!
It's the BEAUTIFUL BLOGGER, the one who is behind all
these MAGICAL WORDS and
the said STUBBORN Chris.

NOW. FEAST YOUR EYES!
The Hakka Belly Pork with Noodles was delicious
I must say!!!!

As much as I like Melbourne,
THERE IS JUST ONE THING I, for one,
CANNOT TOLERATE- the SHOPPONG MALLS
HERE CLOSSES AT 5pm!
5pm, I tell you! So what do you during the night?
NOTHING. That's it, sleep, rot and move to the
next stage of life.

LOOK! Us, in the mall, which is already 99 percent closed down.

DON'T LOOK. thank you.

HAHAHAHAHA!

LOOK LOOK LOOK!

I KNOW you guys ae going to hate me for saying this,
but I really need to go now!
My dear sis NEEDS(that's what she said)
to check on her Facebook. HUMPH!

BYE BYE!

reach aussie

2010-11-17T13:54:00.008+08:00

It's half past nine here...
... because I'm in Melbourne right now.
(7:30pm in M'sia now! having dinner, yeah? i had mine!)

We arrived yesterdy morning and I personally felt like
I just survived 10 buckets of parmesan cheese
and 3 handfuls of cold, boiled mushroom.

To those who know me, you can understand
my pain and sufferings.

poor Beautiful Lady Shi-Yi.

Imagine taking a low budjet airline.

Imagine having your butt glued to a semi hard seat.

Imagine a 18cm leg room.

NOW, imagine having a chatterbox sitting directly behind you,

who does nothing but talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and TALK

for 8 freaking hours!

Still can't?

Imagine ten Min Lings talking- simultaneously!!!!!!!

Before exiting the plane, Mr Chatterbox said to

the girl who sits beside him throughout the flight

and had to bear his endless chatters,

"It was nice meeting you."

My mum said,

"But it wasn't nice listening to you."

hahhahahahahahah!

Don't I wish he heard my mum? hehe!

Anyway, I just came back from dinner with my aussie cousins.

I took some pictures sometime in the afternoon:

Huge TV which my cousin bought.

Yours truly.

Knock knock! This is the entrance to my uncle's backyard.

What was I doing?

My sister. We felt really chilly that we had

to sit under the sun. haha.

Sunbathing? I would never imagine doing THAT

in Malaysia. heheheheheh!

To Ying Qi and Jacie: Hope to have an EMA gathering as soon as

I come back from Aussie.

BYE! for now.

2010-11-02T14:34:00.006+08:00

Ohmygawtt! I LOVE SUNGKYUNWAN SCANDAL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sun 8:35 to 11:05, encore two episodes.

This is theme song for Sungkwunwan Scandal:

snippets of ribbon

So we in Bread Talk @ Topayoh, Singapore buying buns for Hui.

Hui takes out MY pink Roxy purse from HER pocket.

Me,"Hey! Thay's my purse! Give me back!"

Hui," Humph."

Me," Eh! I used my OWN money (hard earned not pocket money from ma and pa) to purchase the purse, you know?!"

I sounded so childish, a whiny 4 year old. heeehe. Sorry 4 year-olds. It's just a way of saying it...I could say Tio Min Ling instead but decided to give her face. heheheheheh.

Hui," Fine! I'll give you back!"

Me," Aiyo. Nevermind."

Hui and Ma stared open mouthed at me.

This is what Hui and Ma were PROBABLY thinking... ...

Wah! How can someone change her mind within 2 seconds?

Dude (hehe. I doubt they even know this word. Nevermind, I'll type it anyway to make them sound cooler. They cool=My blog cool) , make up your mind !

Me, in an innocent look. What?

This is what I KNOW what I was thinking... ...

Chill dudes (cool eh?). Hui, you should be grateful that I lend you my purse. Ma, come on, this is not the FIRST time you know your daughter.

Me," Besides, I don't bring money to school anyaway."

Ma," WHAT?"

Me," I can borrow money from my friends."

Ma," WHAT IF YOU ARE STRANDED AT THE HIGHWAY????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Me, " THE SCHOOL, MA! For pete's sake WHAT HIGHWAY are you TALKING ABOUT?"

P.S.Café @ Palais Renaissance

Location:
390 Orchard Road, Palais Renaissance

Palais Renaissance, Level 2

My family and I went to Singapore last Saturday and stayed at my grandaunt's semidetached house for a night before dropping my little sister off at the boarding house.

As soon as we reached S'pore, we went to PS Cafe @ Palais Renaissance, which is beside the Thai Embassy to meet up with Auntie Ngoc and Uncle Nigel.

Auntie Ngoc is a Vietnamese whereas Uncle Nigel is a Singaporean. They are both married and whoever their future kids are, I am telling you, THEY ARE GOING TO BE REAL SMART ASS KIDS! Because Auntie Ngoc and Uncle Nigel are BOTH FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This cafe took my breath away from the moment I walked through the door. The café's sophisticated yet inviting ambience is beautifully executed with the dark woods, high ceilings and black and whites reminiscent of the colonial era long forgotten.

Auntie Ngoc and Uncle Nigel told us that PS Cafe is famous for its big servings of deccadent desserts.

Since it was way past our lunch time and nowhere near our dinner time, mum said that we should order dessert. We didn't have lunch you know! I was mad hungry!

Uncle Nigel ordered a plate of sour creamed french fries coated with a layer of Parmesian Cheese. Yummy!

Hui ordered lemon merigue pie. I hate to say this but the pie was really dissapointing. Bluek!

Mum wanted this, the sweet and sour lemon tart.

I ordered the Chocolate Crunch Doorstep Cake ($15.90) which tasted as luscious as it looked, with a paving of walnuts sandwiched between rich chocolate mousse on top and dense fudge below. YUM!

OKIE! That's all for now! Cos' my laptop's battery is running low!

PROTON SAGA=Potong Harga/ Ben Dan Sa Gua

We were in the car waiting for the traffic light to turn green when dad pointed to the Proton Saga (PS) beside ours.

The PS driver was pulling the window screen up, trying to prevent it from dropping. The scene was EPIC. HAHAHAHAHA!

Dad," Gosh, I still remember my PS days. I tell you ah, my window always drop down. Then, sometimes the car door would fall off."

Sis and I, "hahahahahaah! really meh?"

Dad," Yalah! I remember telling myself that I will NEVER EVER WANT TO DRIVE A PROTON SAGA in the future."

Sis and I," Was it THAT horrible?"

Dad," Do you know what people used to say about PS those days? They said Proton Saga means Potong Harga (a Malay term which means discounted/ cheap things) or Ben Dan Sa Gua (a chinese term which means stupid and crazy)."

Needless to say, the three of us laughed like crazy.

This is how a PROTON SAGA, our local car, looks like:

Passport to AWESOMENESS and BEYOND!
you know you want it... ...

I have successfully finished my AWESOMENESS THERAPY within one and a half week and am now officially HIP AND COOL!!!

This AWESOMENESS THERAPY consists of watching You're Beautiful (the best korean drama yet) and Summer's Desire ( a taiwanese drama) .

All together there were 30 episodes.
You're Beautiful=16 episodes
Summer's Desire=14episodes

I was pretty much addicted and hooked on to dramas then (still am. I'm sure my love for dramas is still buried deep inside me. I just need a REALLY GOOD korean drama to kick start it).

But don't you fans worry about me having insufficient time for you because the days of my AWESOMENESS THERAPY are over since I have already achieved the HIP and COOL status.

I couldn't have been prouder of myself than right now.

I know you are probably itching to know where can you indulge in this AWESOMENESS THERAPY. Right or NOT?

Well,this is the

smelly hairy hair

ohh... I've got a feeling...tonight is gonna be a good night...
I just washed my hair today and ooh... I've got a feeling...

My hair wasn't washed for three consecutive days because I have read from somewhere that it is better if we do not wash our hair everday.

Ok. ehem.

Allow Professor Lady Margaret Shi-Yi to enlighten you.

It's better to wash your hair less often because it keeps it healthier thanks to your scalp's natural oils. Depending on your hair type and texture you may only need to wash it every other day, two to three times a week, or even once a week.

Get it?

You're beautiful

SHI-YI's GAGA SWEET SIXTEEN!
PART 2, as promised!

After dinner, we had a mini karaoke. We danced and sang while circling the dinning table like a bunch of 6 year olds. IT WAS REALLY HILARIOUS

IMAGINE: Us, in colourful socks, weird hairstyles with colourful hairbands, mismatched outfits, belting out Mama Mia and Dancing Queen.

Then, we took turns showering.

Nicely washed, back with the usual sorts and T-shirt, we were in for a night of TABOO, the BEST game to show off your charade skills AND also the WORST game for your next door neighbours who wants a good night sleep.

Taboo is a word guessing party game published by Hasbro in 1989. The object of the game is for a player to have his/her partner(s) guess the word on his/her card without using the word itself or five additional words listedon the card. The player can gesture and/or give verbal clues.

We were having such a great time until, yes, UNTIL the Denise Yap, reached out to tickle Carmen, who "smartly" moved away, GOT ME TICKLED INSTEAD. Oh, did you know that I was holding an uncapped water bottled?

Needless to say, the TABOO cards, MY PYJAMAS PANTS, the bedsheet and Denise pants(serve her right!) were ALL wet. How smart you are, Denise Yap :DDD

So, we played memory game. Ariel and Denice Loo were too exhausted and dozed off.

Eventually, we slept. I think it was 3am. Oh, yea, there were 7 of us. Thank God my room didn't burst! :D

...................................................................................................................................................
The next day.

Pictures taken at my house:

Pictures taken in the park:

Then, we went to SS15 for BAK KUT TEH!
Feast your eyes, cos' you ain't gettin' any!

Okie! that's all!

Bye!

Next year, I am going to have a NEW THEME instead of Lady Gaga!

I MIGHT be going for:

Pink
White House (I WANT THIS! SO AWESOME!)

SHI-YI's GAGA SWEET SIXTEEN!!

you what? you didn't know it was GAGA DAY?!...

do you want me to throw a bucket of worms over your head?

this is a matter of "social justice"!

Event of the year: Shi-Yi's GAGA Sweet 16

Dress Code: Lady Gaga(hint:weird, funky, eccentric)

Aim: To have fun and celebrate MY 16th birthday

Date: 20th of August 2010

Time: 5pm(supposedly! but someone just HAD to pee...)

Venue: Lady Margaret's mansion

Guests: Fuai Gua, Small Potato, Feroccocus Laila, Dobi Man, Toilet, KaBOOM

On that DAY:

..........................................................................................................................................

It was 5pm. So, I waited like any other sane person would. Tick-tock-tick-tock.

5.15pm. Ok. Let me take a nap. Tick-tock. Where are they? Did they lost their way?

Can't they just pick up the phone and call? Tick-tock. 5:30pm. THIS IS TOO MUCH I TELL YOU?! Didn't we agree on starting the party at 5pm??? Apek people. Tick-tock.

*SOB* Maybe they have forgotten about me. (If you are reading this Carmen, stop laughing because you are suppose to feel bad and fan xing.)Tick-tock. 5:40pm. Ok, whatever. I went to do my History notes. Tick -tock. I called Min Ling.

"WHERE ARE YOU?"

"hahahaha! Coming! Just now Denise/Denice wanted to pee. Then, suddenly, everyone else wanted to go to the toilet too."

"aiyo! why like that one? Don't tell me you guys are still at Yap's house.''

"We are reaching already. Traffic jam now. A lot of people just came out from their sembahyang."

6:10pm, they arrived in one car.

From upstairs, I can hear Carmen's voice booming," SHI-YI SHI-YI!"

God, she is so loud and embarassing. I hope the neighbours are having their earplugs on.

Note: She was OUTSIDE THE HOUSE, BEHIND MY HOUSE'S GATE. She was that LOUD.

hahahahaha! you know what? I waited upstairs and just when Carmen and Min Ling walk up the staircase, I attacked them with my big pillows! hahahahahaHH! Then, the seven of us engaged in a pillow fight.

THEN, they started singing HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SHI-YI!

THEN THEN, they shaked their arms at my face.

THEN THEN THEN, they collapsed on the floor and layed motionless.

SO LAME, I TELL YOU!

The card:

...........................................................................................................................................

designed by: Ariel aka Small potato. Thank you chen chen. I like it very much.

mini cards on the big card are made by: Ariel, Ying Qi, Yap, Tio, Carmen and Loo.

PS: I realized that there were three versions of my nickname on the mini-cards.

Ariel spelt my nickname as "Margaret".

Tio spelt mine as "Margorot".

cough* why do I sound like someone who is rotting?

The worse one was Loo, she had my beautiful nickname......."Margeret"!!!

please, ah Loo.

..................................................................................................

After that, we prepared our dinner.

Let's see who brought what:

Yap>>sausages, bread, mince meat >>>to make connie dogs!

Tio>>hard boiled eggs, mayonnaise, lettuce, Thousand Island sauce>>>to make salad!

Loo>>potato salad

Ying Qi>> bread, cheese, ham, sausage slices>> to make pizza!

the TRUE strory of Shi-Yi and Nasi Campur.

where? the Curve shopping mall

when? June holidays

who? me and nasi campur

“Err.. Saya nak nasi campur( English: I want mixed rice)”, I mumbled uncertainly to the foreign worker, who is peering at me behind the food counter.

According to the huge words embeded on the super huge metallic board beside the food counter:

Nasi campur = ayam/ ikan/ kambing + sayur
(English: Mixed Rice = chicken/ fish/ lamb + vegetables)

The foreign worker (lets refer to him as F.W!) stared at me. Ohmygawd! He knows that I don’t know what I am doing. I am doomed. What if he cheats me? I was so nervous. Know why? Because I have not a slightest clue about nasi campur.

F.W began scooping rice from a big tong onto a plate.

Then, he thrusted the plate towards a very panic-looking me.

I smiled. Big smile. Nervous smile. Okkay. Why wasn’t he smiling? RUDE MAN! Maybe he should pick up Moral Studies from Miss Lim. Hahahha!

Wait. Where is the said ayam/ ikan/ kambing + sayur (chicken/ fish/ lamb + vegetables) ?

How come he gave me plain rice only? SO, HE IS TRYING TO CHEAT ME!!

“Buat apa?”, I spluttered.

“Ambil sendiri!” , RUDE F.W gestured his RUDE arms (I don’t care. I can describe his arms any way I like cos’ this is MY BLOG) towards the food counter.

“Ambil apa-apa pun boleh?”, I asked. As soon as my final words came out from my mouth, I felt like a maron. I felt very very very very very idiotic.

RUDE F.W (and don't forget his RUDE arms) noded.

BIMBO=PINK

what?!

Whoever said that is a bimbo him/herself (is it possible for a guy to be a bimbo? enlighten me, will ya'?).

OKKAY. My definition of a BIMBO is someone who...

...voice out their opinions without thinking of the consequences.
...shallow, dense, thick skull, air headed, you get the picture.
...flirt unbashfully.
...big boobs. hahahahahahahaH. IT'S MY VERSION, OK? So who are you to decide? Am I a bimbo now for throwing out words without thinking? nah.
...selfish.
...self-centred.
...tends to be happy-go-lucky. ATTENTION: Someone who is happy-go-lucky is NOT necessarily a bimbo. A bimbo who is happy-go-lucky IS a bimbo. Confusing, eh?

WHAT's YOUR definition of a BIMBO?
do tell me!

2010-06-11T01:00:00.000+08:00

I want to make MY BLOG more "ME", you'll ask.

How to change the font/colour/header of your blogskin?

Shall I enlighten you?

OK. First, go to DASHBOARD, click TEMPLATE.
You'll see a lot of codes and those are the codes that make up your blogskin.

1. To change the colour of your header/title of a certain sideback(ex: PROFILE/TAGBOX/CREDITS) or your blogskin background:

Search for something similar to this in your template codes,
body{ font: normal 8pt Arial;
color: #666666;
background-color: #ffcccc;
cursor: crosshair; }

Can you see the "colour: #666666;"?
yea, that's the code for your colour.

Let's say you want green colour instead of the given pink.

Go to POSTING, click COMPOSE.
Simply type a few words, highlight them and colour them with the green you wanted.
Click EDIT HTML, copy the code of the green colour.
The code of a colour looks like something like that, #006600. (The figures of the code varies with the colours.)

Go back to TEMPLATE,
replace the previous colour code with the new one.
body{ font: normal 8pt Arial;
color: #006600; (changed! before it was #666666, now #006600)
background-color: #ffcccc;
cursor: crosshair; }

Click SAVE NOW.

TADA! you are DONE!

2. To change the header (a header is the big title/mastheader across your blog):

Sorry, but I can't show you how the code for a header looks like.

I am NOT an expert.

I just figured it myself.

Anyway, say, your given blogskin has a header, ASPIRE TO INSPIRE,

Go to TEMPLATE,

search for ASPIRE TO INSPIRE(or whatever your header is!).

Delete it and type in your desired header, say, SHI-YI ROCKS.

Click SAVE NOW.

YAY!

You'll probably think that I have died from peer pressure (I don't!)/ poisoned to death after drinking that horrible soup/ jumped off the cliff due to mounting exam papers( 26papers, I tell you!)...

WELL. I AM BACK!
And I have changed my blogskin! Like it?

JL and YQ just went back after watching Casonova with me.
Is it just me or does Heath Ledger looks like Leonardo DiCaprio?
Oh, nevermind.

Allow me to bombard you with PICTURES from my food trail in Penang and Ipoh.

The horrible soup

2010-04-05T20:13:00.000+08:00

THIS. IS. THE. WORST. SOUP. IN. MY. LIFE.
probably yours too, if you have tried it.

It's not sweet, nor it's sour.
It doesn't feel bitter nor does it feel salty.
It's just sick and wrong.
As if God don't know what to make out of the soup and decided to throw all four tastes(bitter, sweet, sour and salty) into it.

ARGH ARGH ARGH.
Poor poor poor poor poor Beautiful Lady Shi-Yi's Beautiful Lady Mouth!

Let me know if you have someone in your mind that you very much dislike because I THINK I HAVE JUST THE PERFECT WEAPON for you!

2010-03-31T17:26:00.000+08:00

I can feel the HEAT, yeah!

Would being the smartest make you happier?
Would money make you have the best clothes in the world?
Would fame bring you more friends?

HOW WOULD LIFE BE BETTER?

Ying Qi and I were going to the ends to dig out the answers.
But we still found nothing.
Why is it so hard?

PS: Papa is back.Yay!
PSS:Two more days till Esther Friday with Hui Hui. Double Yay!

SEXY CATS

2010-03-30T21:11:00.000+08:00

SEXY CATS meow!

Ying Qi, Ya Qi and I decided to form a team in conjuction of the HOTSPOT TOUR COMPETITION organised by Sri KDU College, which is going to be on the 8th of April at Sri KDU College.

Our group is SEXY CATS. hahahhaahhahahah! How that name came about? I shall tell you.

During assembly, a teacher announced this competition. Thanks to the lousy PA system our school inherits, we(Carmen, Denise Yap and Min Ling) mistaken HOTSPOT with HOTCAT.

So, we kept refering this competition as THE HOTCAT THING.

I remembered saying this to Ying Qi, "Why not name our team as SEXY CATS?"

Then, during English period, Mr.Asraf introduced a fantastic game to us. We were divided to 4 groups. GUESS WHAT's OUR GROUP CALLED?

Duh, the SEXY CATS.

Well, Carmen and Ariel insisted. What to do? They LOVE my SEXY CAT. heeeeeheeH!

I wish I am in Singapore

2010-03-29T16:53:00.000+08:00

How I wish I am studying in Singapore right now.
School life is so repetitive and dull in Malaysia.
I wish I am staying at the same boarding school with Hui Hui.
Then, we can hang out at Orchard Road together during weekends without any adults.
Yay! We shall be independant sisters.

2010-03-27T14:05:00.000+08:00

MY NAME IS HAIRPIN.

I HAVE PINS AS FRIENDS.

Am actually enjoying the fact that Pin-Pong, Pin-Qi Ling and Dong-pin are having their Chinese tuition while I am blogging about them having tuition.

Yeah, life is good.

In case you don't know (and may I ask why? now, go pluck your left eyebrow), I. Don't. Like. Chinese. Subject. Chinese language is hard and it doesn't make sense. Whenever I read an article written in Chinese, I'll take hours to comprehend the meaning of each and every word in it. To me, they (the words, stupid. now, go and pluck your right eyebrow) are like entangled strings, all jumbled into wrong places.

I just came back from the Exellance Award held at school.

Good gracious Jacie's mum couldn't attend or else she would have to endure the torture for three solid hours just like the rest of the attendees.

Do you know what ridicculous procedure we, recipients of awards, have to do for the past two days? Take a guess, come on, this is Malaysia right? Anything absurb is bound to happen. Think missing RM100 million F5 fighter jet engines.

We were instructed and taught to do these:

Firstly, walk up the stage with a smiley and cheerful face. Pn Seriati's exact words, "Senyum manis-manis. Jangan bermuka masam." In other words, she meant, smile as sweet as honey, until all the bees stink you and no matter how badly you are stung, you must not be soured face.

Secondly, say, "Selamat Pagi, puan", which means good morning, madam. While you're saying that, bow to show politeness (my foot!).

Thirdly, say, "Terima Kasih, puan", which means recieve my love and affections(or should I say, affectations?). Bow again to show humbleness.

Then, collect your award.

Fourthly, take a step back and bow. Please don't ask me why bow again.

Fifthly, tuck the award under you arms and strut down the stage and pretend that people are actually clapping for you.

Thank god, I wasn't unlucky enough to be subjcted to yesterday full-day rehearsal for the Exellance Award.

Pin-Pong, Min Hui, David Ho and I were invited to represent our school on the Star-NiE Mag.Inc 2010 Workshop at Taylor Lakeside Campus.

Fen Ling (at least that's what I THINK his name is) (is the spelling correct?) (ahh, never mind), who was the ex-editor for our school's editorial board, was kind and generous enough to give Pn Shirley and the four of us a lift to the workshop.

The workshop was attended by approximately 60 students, four per school.

Ms Adeline from Star Newspaper conducted the first half of the workshop while Ms Natasha from Taylor's Mass Communication lead the second half.

This year's theme: A BETTER LIFE
Deadline: 12th of July 2010
Template will be out on: 7th of April 2010
Period of competition: Three Months .....hmmph. so little time. that means I have to eat less, shower less, study less(YAY), rest less, drink less and breathe less...

Till' then, bye!

Fruitful Absences

2010-03-20T09:14:00.000+08:00

"A child's mind is like a blank piece of paper, and on this paper, everybody that walks into the child's life leaves a blot of ink in his or her wake." These were the words of wisdom that spewed from the lips of Nabi Mohammad.

We, children, are fragile and helpless when exposed to the ugly side of the world. Our world isn't some Wonderland with Cheshire cats disappearing into thin air, rather in real life, children go missing. We came to realise that the world we live in isn't made of rainbow, ribbons and roses. Cherish every waking moment with your loved ones, just be thankful to be safe and healthy.

Fruitful absences:

6-3-10

Saturday
Shi-Yi's house, Sunway Pyramid

I watched BOYS OVER FLOWER.

Instant Reactions that made me...

...feel like err,okkaay-
Min Ling: Heheh heheH! See, I told ya', you would definitely love it. The guys in that show have such sexy voice right?
i know, they are so hot.

...wanna-slap-you kind-
Carmen: SO OUTDATED! Now only you watch arrh?
geez, Carmen, as if your bangs are very IN horrh?Next time, look at the mirror before you open your big smelly stnky silly stupid mouth!

...hesitate whether to cry or punch you right at your face-
Denise Y: WHAT?! You actually watch movies?
Wow. So all these time we were hanging out together, you were picturing me with stone utensils?

Since Shin Yee has the DVD for Boys Over Flowers, I invited her to my house so that we could watch it together. Ying Qi came to my house later as she had tuition lesson.

OUR ORIGINAL PLAN FOR THAT DAY:

2pm: Shin Yee arrives at my house. We watch B.O.F.
4:25pm: Ying Qi arrives at my house. My parents give us a lift to Sunway Pyramid.
5:30 to 8:45pm: Have dinner, window shoppin, etc.

EVENTUALLY OUR PLAN WENT LIKE THAT:
3:30pm: I really could had murdered ShinYee. She came so late. Apek! We quickly played the disc because Ying Qi would be arriving soon. As soon as YQ arrives, we had to leave the house. My gawwtt, the show was really addictive!

4:30pm: OH NO! YQ arrives. Shin Yee and I pretended not to notice her. HAHah! I didn't want to leave the couch. I wanted to watch that show badly. YQ joined us. THEN, she got addicted too. YAY! SO, we kept on watching.

7pm: Parents rushed us out to Sunway Pyramid because they were to catch a movie.

7:20pm: Visited boutiques, secretly took pictures with the clothes on.

9pm: Had dinner at the Italiannies.

10pm: Headed home and continue watching B.O.F.

Prefect Camp 2010

Activities:

1. Absailing

I was excited initially but after waiting for like eternity for Group 5, 6 and 7 to have their turns, the excitement died. Why does Group 8 always have to be the last team to do every activity? Albert was terrified of the height but he eventually got through it.

2. Night Drop

You literally get 'drop' ALONE in jungle.

HOMECOMMING QUEENS

2010-03-07T16:45:00.000+08:00

This month's HOMECOMING QUEEN award goes to- not one BUT TWO young ladies,

NG SHI-HUI aka HUI HUI,

my sister and also favourite person in the world

JACIE LAW JIAQI aka EMA 3,

my best friend and also the cutest monkey you can ever find

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Air stewardess from FireFly and Air Asia are expected to welcome these two mademoiselles who will depart from Singapore and fly towards the north, to a place where the citizens had been enduring summer for the past 53 years, still storing hope that one day, just one day, WINTER WILL ARRIVE at MY DOORSTEP!!!!!!!!!! Oh please, I cannot stand the humid, sticky, hot weather any one minuet second longer.

ah-hem.

So, as I was typing, Mademoiselle Jacie will touch down on Friday night whereas Mademoiselle Shi-Hui will be stepping out of the aeroplane a night later. Unfortunately, Lady Margaret also know by the norm as Shi-Yi (me lah!) could not welcome the two lovely mademoisells on their arrival dates because of the prefectorial board. Argh! %^%&*# I hate it when they force us to attend every single trivial activities organised by them. This time, we were asked to PAY *gasp* $135 to attend a Prefect Camp in Port Dickson for three days, two nights(12-14th of March).

In case you are wondering, I am waving my arms in the air in vivid movements in hope to forget about the camp.

ah-hem. Side-tracked, again.

Wasn't it just yesterday Jacie was sitting in front of me in class with her blazer hung on her chair?

"Shi-Yi! You KICKED my blazer, didn't you?"

Jacie dear, I wonder if you still accuse people without evidence... ...

I miss barging into Hui-Hui's (my sister lah!) room without knocking the door and pester her to entertain me. I guess I will be able to resume to my old habbit very soon. hahahahahaahha!

PS: INKHEART by Cornelia Funke is a good read.

Second Job

Bee Lun

There are moments...
when you feel like you have been given extra stars by your kindergarden teacher for your neat and tidy handwriting:

So, this customer asked,"What's your name, girl?", as I was taking out a brand new bag from the plastic bag. Yes! I am a sales girl in Bee Lun, a uniform selling shop.

"Shi-Yi", I smiled in my professional yet warm smile.

"Shi-Yin?"

May I know why is it SO HARD to pronounce my name CORRECTLY? Try Sheee Yeeee. now, one more time, Sheeeeee Yeeeee. OK? Say, SHI-YI! Eventhought so I didn't make any attempt to correct her. I just nodded.

"Oh, I see what form are you from?"

"Form 4", I lied for some personal reason.

"You are a very good sales girl",the woman praised unexpectedly.

Hahah! I KNEW I have some potential. Bt of course I didn't say that.

"You have really good PR skills. hmmm, you speak very well", she continued praising me as I smiled in my said professional yet warm smile.

I KNEW IT right there and then that I HAVE FOUND MY CALLING as Malaysia's Top Lawyer!

Oh, Denise Yap, only now do I truly know how it feels, how you felt when you can fold the school uniform so efficiently. Oops! I didn't mean it that way! hahahaha. My advice ("borrowed" from Min Ling's ex water bottle>>> FORGIVE AND FORGET)

Friday

New Moon, Redeem Pizza Hut Voucher

Ying Qi's parents came to pick me up to Denise Yap's. Denice Loo unexpectedly at the doorstep when Ying Qi and I arrived because I was told that she has tuition and won't be seeing us till 2pm or later. WOW, Denice Loo skiped class for ME?

While waiting for Jacie to arrive, the four of us + Marcus(Yap's little brother who speaks monotonely alike her) started thinking of ways to welcome Jacie who we haven't seen in person for at least one month.

First JOB

at
Aus Ed,opposite Taylors College

"I know. How about the name Jessica?"said Jean, a taiwanese consultant. She has this kind of Mainland China's heavy accent, one that makes you go tongue tight if you're not used to speaking like that.

"No no no! You must have a name that is like really OOHM. I know what, how about...", said the mixed blood (I think lah) Linda. I DO like her but... this is TOO MUCH TOO MUCH!

Linda paused, waiting for the momment. What momment?

"Mari-ah ! Well, you know...as in Mariah Carey?"

Well, needless to say that I was utterly shock. Really ludicrous. Here I am, standing there, letting my collegues to give me a CHRISTIAN NAME due to the fact that they CANNOT PRONOUNCE MY NAME?!

"hahhahahaha. I think Cecillia is nicer!"Amy suggested. She has this China Doll hairstyle and really cute tiny eyes just like Min Ling. (Shoot, I really shouldn't have said that.)

"So which name do you like the best?"the three crazy women asked me.

"Well, I don't know..." I said, trying not to offend any of their absurd ideas. Really.

"OKlah, you are Cecillia from now on", Jean announced the verdict. sighed.

MELBOURNE 2009

2009-12-14T11:48:00.000+08:00

You lift my feet off the ground and spin me around... ...

You make me CRAZIER, Crazier...

BIG HELLO from MELBOURNE! (No worries, I will be back in time for my second job!! yay >.< )

Lucky for us, my uncle's family stay at Ferntree Gully. We are able to use his car too whislt traveling around Melbourne.

Train stations are found in many suburbands, which have certainly made our trip to the city much more convenient. So far we have spent two separate days in the city.

Melbourne city is like WOW- the hustle and bustle, the diversity, the architecture and the PEOPLE! Everybody walks with purpose in their own unique kind of style...

Numerous gardens and parks were visible in the city, whose skyline mixes elegant spires with dazzling modern skyscrapers, which dwarf the elegant Victorian-era buildings dotted along leafy streets. TO MIN LING & YING QI: I have plucked dfifferent types of leaves for you.

Immigration at the end of World War II transformed Melbourne into a thriving cultural melting pot, totalling over three million people, with sizeable Italian, Malaysian, Indian, Korean, Hong Kong and Chinese communities each carving out their own quarter. Oh, there ARE Singaporeans too but in comparisons...come on, the country IS small :-P

TO YING QI, whose size doesn't quite match up with her enormous appetite:

Due to the big international population, Melbourne has a wealth of different cuisines, from the outdoor cafés overlooking the Yarra River, to the pizzerias in Carlton, the Chinese banquet halls in Chinatown and the fine seafood restaurants in trendy St Kilda Beach (St Kilda is BEAUTIFUL, just wait until you see the yatchs!). I recommend Ying Qi to come here and eat!

One topic that is guaranteed to be discussed over dinner is the weather. The city has four distinct seasons. Sometimes, all four seasons occur in one day. The ever-optimistic locals joke that if you don't like the weather you just have to wait ten minutes and it will change.

I shall blog MORE in DETAILS as soon as I touch down at the airport next week.

See and listen to this music video by TAYLOR SWIFT-CRAZIER!!!!

Till' then, ciao!

Current dilema (I say current because God knows how many dilemas I have in the past few hours>.< ) :

To choose B1 Finale by Beethoven, which is a late classical period song so there is a need for candidates to be really expressive OR B2 Allegro con brio by Clementi, which has a lot of ornaments and is like REAL FAST, speedy kind.

There is a B3 to choose too.
My teacher said," I can only allow you to pick B1 or B2 only. The notes in B3 are too hard for you and has 10 pages."

HA! There goes my third choice. Whatever happened to "let every kid make their own decision so that they will grow up being more confident and independent " ????

I'm actually tempted to go for B1 because my next door neighbour has been playing B2 since the beginning of this year. Every afternoon, dee da du dodo don dum... Every night dee dau duuu dasda....Good heavens I have school in the morning or else! just or else, ok?!

BUT. B2 has a tenuto.

help?

Yes! The above is a YouTube showing ME playing B1 finale by Beethoven.
