The mop and I

Today marks the beginning of the second semester. While every TOAians grudgingly wake up early in the morning, get prepared and go of to school, I'm still basking in comfort of my bed. While everyone was in class, I was watching Totally Spies and Martin Mystery with chocolate bars. And..... I..... LOVE IT!!! IT FEELS GOOD!!! Missing my friends is another story, but I feel really great at home and the Telly is playing Totally Spies as we speak!! Yay!!

Yeah, mother is coming home today so I had to do some cleaning to make sure the house is in tip top shape. Sweeping, clearing my table and mopping was in the job description.

In clearing me table, all the stuff I did in TOA, including all my materials, tools and gadgets were nicely put away in a box. I be sure to take it to America with me. If I go. I wanna go. I digressed. So, I kept all my stuff and yeah.

Mopping? I did it. In style. With my iPod I have yet to name, 3 albums of TH, a mop, a pail, water, cleaning agent and the entire upstairs to be mopped, I mopped the floor. Sometimes I sing along, sometimes I bounced all around, sometimes I concentrate on mopping, most of the time I shake my ass, sometimes I slide across the floor, the whole time, TH was playing. Sometimes my mop is a guitar , sometimes my mop is a mic stand and most of the time, my mop's a mop.

Mopping is fun.

Note to self, mop more often.

My mother, my dark woman

So it came to past that I journeyed to Penang on a scorching hot Friday and back to home sweet home on Saturday, yesterday, and the weather isn't any better. 

Mum left for Hong Kong last Wednesday and so that leaves dad the hefty task of getting his daughter to Penang and back and so he did and I must say, Dad did a good job. Really! We had a great father daughter time. He told me stories from his past and boy, were the funny!! Then I realized that my character, along with my siblings' weird characters and diverse personalities didn't come from no where! And the 5 hour trip to and 5 hour trip back wasn't all that boring. We had movies to watch in the bus and well, I watched. With dad. 

TOEFL? Well.... TOEFL wasn't the easiest thing on Earth. To be frank, I was rather jittery and to think that I'm a slow person (I need more time to think compared to other people), everything tested is timed. Every question is timed. And so, when it came to the speaking part, I kinda lost confident because they only gave like.... 15 seconds to prepare your answer before having to speak into the mic. Yeah.... didn't work really well with me but it's ok. I have other sections to feel safe about?

I wanna wanna wanna go to America. It's where everything is happening. I can't wait for my adventure to begin. Maybe I will be a super spy and save the world! Or I can be a rock star and rock it out!! Or I can be the super cashier in Wallmart and do super cool stuff like bagging. Or maybe, just maybe, I can be a fireman.... woman...... just so I can wear the super cool yellow jumpsuit.

---------------------------------

Oh, boy do I love TH. I wish them all the best in all their future ventures and wish to meet them in person one day. I will. When I get to America.

---------------------------------

Mummy. My mother isn't home for Mother's day. But It's ok. We love her dearly and we miss her.

I remember when I was just a little girl, and Ah Boi wasn't born yet, and there was Kc and I who were mischievous little rascals, we used to sleep in the same room my parents share and we used to talk to each other like little chatterboxes into the night. Mummy who was well aware that we had pre-school the next day needed us to sleep and so she told us to but we being the restless stubborn kids, we continued talking, though in a softer volume. Mummy got mad and scolded us but still we couldn't sleep. So she got off the bed, walked to the other corner of the room and fetched the cane. In the lack of light, mummy was but a dark shadow and because it was just the silhouette we could see, dad called her the super villain, The Dark Woman. With the cane in hand, she slowly approached us and out of a sudden spur in bravery, our hero, daddy jumped in front of us, preventing mum from hitting us. Yet, mother wasn't afraid. She wasn't fazed with the sudden arrival of a hero. In fact, with more pleasure, she whacked father with the cane! And dad was like "Argh, Ugh, Ow, Dark Woman! I'm not afraid! Stay away from my kids" and Dark Woman was like " What? You wanna get hit? Ok, sure." *hit hit hit* and we were like " Daddy!! you so brave!!!"

Yeah, that's my mum. My beloved mum. With a mum and dad like that, everyday at home is like a movie and it keeps me laughing the whole way.

Mummy, Happy Mother's Day. I love you Dark Woman. XD

My choir my baby!!

Ahh, choir.... brings back so much memories... and ironically, as I type this entry, the choir competition of 2009 is taking place in Datuk Hamzah and I so wanna be there to watch... or rather, to conduct again!!!! ARGHHH!!! I miss conducting so much... and all our choir practices...

History Mystery of choir, it was disbanded in the beginning of 2006 and with a few friends, Sheen Yeen, Mandy, Charlotte, Julia and Hui En, we reestablished again not long after, collecting signatures of students and getting Pn.Tay as our teacher and the rest was history. We participated in the annual competition and brought home awards for some years and weren't so lucky some other years but it was all in great fun!

My choir team is like my baby....I watched it grow up.... and now, its like as if it doesn't need its mummy anymore.... One time, I remember our choir club getting an award for the most active non-academic club in school..... made me almost cry.... almost....

Well, choir is not choir without choir dramas involved.... oh, the countless times I actually cried for it and all our fun fun fun voice warm-ups like ^^^Sheen Yeen is very ham sap^^^ XD haha..... 

What I want to say is, our generation of choir members is different from the batch now.... more special and more closely bonded than the new generation of members. Us, Sheen Yeen, Mandy, Charlotte, Julia, Hui En, Mirshal and Prashant, the core members and some other core members I cannot really remember, You with me the entire 3 years and in addition, Nancy Bonanzy who graced us with her presence on my third and final year...

And and and  not forgetting all the songs we sang, the songs I so happily separated with audacity and the once in a while visit from sheen yeen who helps me with the parts sometimes.... ahh.... dear.... Kau Ilhamku with Kc on the guitar brought back third place for us remember? Along with the you raise me up. The song circle of life in which we did not perform. I'm sure it would have been a hit if we had what with the amazing intro XD and our beloved Dirgahayu oh Tanah Airku and Man in the mirror .

I LOVE YOU!!!!! Ya man. Ya. XD

Not forgetting Tommy's second bow and Shane being the only dude in front with the sopranos

Penang.... again

Well errrr.....

I'm going back to Penang this coming Friday to take my TOEFL the next day. There's so much to do and so much to get done, my passport for TOEFL identification, the printing of the ticket, bus tickets and accommodations and TOEFL preparations and and and its just so intimidating and sometimes I forgot how to spell tomorrow and they will like totally test my listening skills and speaking skills and grammar and all that jazz and and and what if the sound clip is blur and what it i stutter and said something stupid like pineapple and and and..... and.... and..... I wanna watch Totally Spies =_=

So I went and got my passport done today and my beloved mother went to Hong Kong today to lead a tour for 6 days and she has only been gone for a few hours and I miss her already. Haha, Ah boi was so cute. He keeps reminding mum to bring her mask and to take care of herself because he is still so young and all that. XD

I like peanut butter. alot. I like TH too.

I'm scared!!! What if I go to Penang and get so lost that I get lost and I don't know what to do and it says KDU Penang but KDU Penang is so huge!!

On the other hand, I'm excited about going to America!!! Can't wait!!! I really really really hope I get accepted!!!

Sometimes, Ribena and Nose Biscuit Bag

Penang, penang, penang

So it came to past that the family visited Penang, where my parents were born, grew up, and fell in love. yeah..... and Jason came too! so yeah.... Well, the original plan was to go on an all out shopping spree but things didn't go as plan. Amazingly, we managed to visit 3 malls in 2 hours, which is an impossible thing in KL cause we can stay in a mall for an entire day. In Penang however, things were different. First we went to Penang Time Square, but it was so new and so huge, there were only 3 open shops in it. Then we drove to Prangin Mall and it was like the more run down version of Summit, selling seafood fashion and all that, which was not to our liking (well, I used to like it, but than I got an epiphany of sorts awhile back) so then we went to Gurney Plaza and yeah, it was nice there. XD Oh, and we didn't go to the beach because it was raining cats and dogs *tears* but its ok. Instead, we went around Penang listening to dad's childhood story. Again. But it was fun. And and and I learned a new thing about my late grandfather. HE WAS SHO CUTE!!! and and and, we heard mum and dad's love story again!!!! Hahaha.

I WAS APART FROM ELFIE AND TH FOR 3 DAYS!!!! But now I'm back with both so its cool XD

--------------------------------
Kc has a fetish of saying the word sometimes.

Pn. Chan : Who said I was sending you home?
Kc : Sometimes

Dad : You wanna go eat now?
Kc : Sometimes

Cheryl : Hey hey hey look!! That shoe nice!!
Kc: Sometimes

Mum: You really wanna go to the beach ah?
Kc : Sometimes

Me: Kc.
Kc: Sometimes.

=_=

---------------------------------------------

Within the 3 days of our Penang trip, Dad and Ah Boi have come to an agreement. Dad wanted Ah Boi's kids to have the initial RO just like him and ah boi, both with the initial RO. So there were a few choices being thrown about and they agreed on the name Ringo Ong. Ringo Ong Lai Thau ( Ringo Pineapple Head). XD

Upon the announcement to the family,

Dad: K K, guys, we have decided. Ah Boi will make me one son. 

Ah Boi: Yes yes, Ringo Ong Lai Thau. 

and they were both happy. Until.....

Jason: What if its a girl?

*silence*

Dad: Ribena. Ribena Ong.

Hahhaahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!

-----------------------------

Pn.Chan was always carrying a brown bag and Kc thought it looked like a biscuit and so when we were shopping in Gurney Plaza, we saw it in Nose!! And Kc took it and she inspected it and she was quiet for awhile and then all of a sudden

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA PN.CHAN'S NOSE BISCUIT BAG, NOSE BISCUIT BAG, NOSE BISCUIT BAG!!!! and she called Pn.Chan that night just to tell her about the Nose biscuit bag......
