Pack Your Bags!

I have just received an email from my aunt, telling me that, yes, I have been accepted and I AM GOING TO AMEDICA!!! YAY!!! I can't wait for my adventure to begin!! Where do I start? What should I do? I'm just so ecstatic!!! 

It will be a month before I leave and I'm gonna miss like, my friends and family!!! I need to see you guys!!! Like, ASAP!! as in, now if possible XD

Ah, My days of Totally Spies have evolved to Totally Spies and everything else, including Spongebob (which I really enjoy) and The Replacements and American Dragon and Martin Mystery and Phineas and Ferb and much much more. Yeah, life is good no matter how you look at it. I'm embracing my youth.....childhood. 

Oh my gosh, I CAN'T WAIT!!!! It's just the visa now. XD

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 

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......

The Sofa and TH anonymous

Guys, I know that I've been too much about TH lately. and I know its unlike me. I don't want to be those rabid fangirls. I want to be those decent, they-can-talk-to, calm and collected fangirl. Yah. So I made a responsible decision by sitting in on a TH anonymous session and the session was refreshing!! I met other crazed fans and together we struggled to keep ourselves calm!! I have an achievement!!! Yesterday, I went a full day without looking up TH in the internet!! I didn't listen to any of their songs! I didn't see them on Mtv or Channel V!! (well, I tried but they didn't appear) All I did was to play durch den monsun twice on the piano and that was it! That was it!! I'm so proud of myself!!!! Well, but today, I'm listening to them again XD

Anyway, I have managed to spend the pass few days on the couch. I'm finally one step ahead into my life long dream of becoming a professional couch potato. Yesterday especially, I maintained my position on the couch, only moving for toilet breaks and to get food. It felt so good! It's just me, the sofa I call Sally and the Tv for the whole day. Together, 3 of us make a great team. When I stood up to go upstairs, I left my permanent butt print on the sofa. It's like.... sunk in where I sat and when I came down this morning, it's still there!! And when I look under the sofa, I saw something horrendous! Something so ghastly, it was appalling! I saw, a spring.......  .____________________. (XD) Wait... How can it be!! I'm not that heavy that the spring will shoot out of the bottom of the sofa!!! Am I??? 

.

.

.

Oh wait!!! Jason sat on it that day!!!! It wasn't me!!! What a relieve!!! XD

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

Remember the time when you were at my place and there was the kimono and the monkey hankie and we did random stuff and took pictures?

I was in glee! And as we were blowing, little kids came by and we gave them 2 bottles and they blew too and after that, we went to get ourself bubble tea!! It was a bubble filled day! And I fond out that the bubble tea shop was named after their 2 year old son, Carson! The boy was adorable!! We gave him a bottle of bubble too and he was sooooo happy, it made me happy!!

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

Today, I was finishing my CG assignments and when I finished, I found something else.

I found all our form 5 pictures and I'm like " I MISSS FORM 5!!!" I wanna wear my uniform again. Maybe one day I will.

Anyway, here is just 1% of our memories

Wing, his 2 wives, and a jealous other XD

The 5 of us,

5 of us
and, 5 of us XD I miss the curry soup and... TAU POK!!!!!

T_T      those were the days.........................

XD. no, seriously, XD.

Imagine today is like.... umm... the 12th of March. Yes, it is a Thursday. 

Today, was results day. Yes, SPM results. You sat for it last year remember? Yes, I remember. So anyway, I had college today so I will be late and I wanted to find out what I got myself so I sent an sms to all my buddies telling them that I will be late and not to take my results for me. Yeah.

Then time came that class ended and I entered Yin Ying's car and I was anxious to know how my friends did so I called Elyna and

R: ELYNA!!! where are you? I just finished coll and am coming now!!

E: Hello ah Ong ahh!! Syok la u! straight A's wei

R: huh what??

E: 8A1's 3A2's

R: Chup chup chup!! I didn't hear anything! I dowanna know yet!!!

E:8A1's 3A2's

...... So much for finding out myself. But yeah, 8A1's and 3A2's. The whole ride to school was dramatic. I didn't know to be happy or sad. I wanted straight A1's. Then when I arrived at school and I met mum and mum saw my face and thought I did badly, but yeah straight A's. All the teachers were proud so after awhile, I decided I was happy. THANK GOD!!!! I mean seriously, I remembered singing " Yes, yes Lord Amen!!" before every paper.

Then the trick. Yes, the trick. I told everyone. Everyone but my father. He called my mum and my mum didn't answer. He called again and my mum broke the news to him. Rachel didn't do so well. She is upset and the news haven't sink in yet. After awhile, my dad called me and I answered, pretending to be really down and upset and cried and all that jazz. Not long after, DADDY CAME HOME!!! I HAVEN'T PREPARED MYSELF TO ACT YET!!! I COULDN'T CRY IN TIME!!!! but so yeah, I hid my face behind my fringe and daddy placed a hand on my back and tried to cheer me up. He said that I did good and I started shaking (laughing silently, actually) and he thought I was crying. I turned and look at him and laughed and he thought I must have gone boinkers.

Then

.

.

.

I threw the result sheet at his face and he started counting and HAHAHAHAHA GOTCHA!!!

He was actually so worried, he couldn't work and he came home early!! So yeah. XD

yay

*drool*

Hari ini, I pergi ke Ikea karna nak tengok meja. I dan keluarga I, bersama dengan Ah Pek, Ah Em dan Jason pergi makan kat Ikea. Taula, kat sana meatball mereka paling famous, pergi sana pasti order tu punya. Jadi I biar ibu I pergi order, I duduk jaga tempat. Setelah tunggu bertahun-tahun lamanya, ibu dan Kc akhirnya tiba ngan orders kite. Mula-mula, letak meat ball kat depan pho pho. Pas tu, Chero, pastu ah pek, pastu ayah, pastu kc, pastu jason. Eh? mana meatball I? Tada? Apa? U order something else?

And then........

Mum placed a plate infront of me.

.

.

.

OMAIAPPLE!!! YESH!! MOTHER I LOVE YOU!!!!

SALMON!!!!!!

Heaven on earth. I closed my eyes and savour the entire smoked salmon. Yes. *bliss*

Splash

Splash. yeah.... Splash.

Splash was awesome!!!!!! Like.... YEAH!!!!! The first part was a little dull though.... running around, looking for stuff and doing some other stuff....AND I'm happy cause cause cause I didn't have to walk on the length of the suspension bridge!!! Like.... you know.... afraid of height and all... yeah. Then we totally hung out and buried Ange in sand and all, he was like " I want six pack!!! where is my six packs????? mana???" so yeah, i guess we gave him six packs but ended up as one unity pack XD. Oh? we gave him boobs too XD.

Then there was this mascot female duck thing, that went around shaking hands? Yeah, dude, that duck was a pervert, he/she (female mascot duck with a male inside) hugged Ange and Edmund and grabbed their asses!!! Oh oh oh, and and and he/she was totally addicted to Jeffrey's hair!! Like.... so cute!!! and the duckie and I.... we had a LOOOOONG chat all the way up multiple elevators. He/she was talking to me about his/her ex girlfriend. yeah.

Then then then, we went to the dry park again to ride some stuff, and the whole gang except for a few of us went for the pirate ship thingie which went a whole 360!! yeah, obviously, a coward like me will chicken out. And and and, after that, THEY FORCED ME TO GO ON THE LOG FLUME!!! THE ONE SIMILAR TO DISNEYLAND'S SPLASH MOUNTAIN? YEAH, THE ONE THAT MADE ME CRY??? THAT ONE!!" Well, Jeffrey was rather persuasive, and and and Ange said if I went on it, he'll buy me lunch. haih.... Love that guy. I went on it. I almost died. I attempted to climb out and escape mid-ride. 

Then after that, we went to makan Subway!!! I love Subway!! You can always smell the cheese!!! And I love cheese!!! But Ange didn't pay. I wanted to take care of his pocket. Yeah. But we sat down, Ange, Yew Chin, Yin ing and I, and we had a looooong chat, before going back to a mountain of beloved and welcomed assignments. Yesh

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!!

You see, yesterday was a good day. A very good day.

Usualy, I follow Yin Ying back from college. Yeah. But yesterday, mum offered to pick me and send me home. Her reason was because she took kucheh out to buy some stuff and she was around the area so it was convenient for her. So i thought, sure. Why not. I mean, kucheh is leaving for China soon and I'd like to spend some time with her even if its just a car ride home. Yeah. Then when I entered the car, kucheh was like "Rachel, why don't you come up to my place for awhile later. Kucheong wants to show you something." I was like "sure! why not?"

Yeah....... And when we got to the apartment, mum left and went home. So, it was gonna be just Kucheh, Kucheong and I. When I got there and after all the greetings, Kucheh revealed that she just bought her apartment a new plasma TV and she was happy because it was cheap, the colour was good and all that. Yup. I took the newspaper and began to run through the paper. Then Kucheh was like "Rachel, you know what? Kucheong and I have been talking and we decided that, you deserve this." And....... *drumrolls* they pulled out a Macbook. 

.

.

.

I let my mouth hang, and for awhile, my mind was blank.

What?

Huh?

 and then

REALLY???

ARE YOU SURE????

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!

I MEAN, THANK YOUUUUUUU!!

yeah. This is my first blog entry with my macbook. I should name it. Maybe.... Perhaps..... yeah. I'll name it Elfie. 

And then I'm reminded how good God is. He answered my prayers or rather.... Well, it goes like this. I kinda wanted a laptop to call my own cause you know, they know, everyone knows I'm in college now and I have a single running Pc at home. The other one died. Welll.... and sometimes, I stay up really late or early in the morning to complete some assignments. AND, the pc is in mummy's room so yeah... not very convenient especially when its 4 in the morning. However, i didn't even dare to ask for it, though dad did say if I needed anything, laptop included, he will get t for me. Yeah, but i was thinking that you know.... times are bad now, dad has to pay my college fees and this things don't come cheap so i kinda push the thought aside. I didn't even ask God for it!! I was just thinking to myself how nice it will be to actually own one.... And Voila!!!! God loves me and thought it was the right time to reward me so, THANK YOU LORD!!!! I LOVE YOU TOOO!!!! yup. 

Yeah.... I love Elfie too.

Once again, I would like to thank Kucheh and Kucheong for Elfie, God for letting it happen, Jason for telling me about the battery and Chipmunk in advance for a favor I am gonna ask for. 

Valentines~~~

Yay. Valentines was GREAT!!! Well, not all of it, some part was a tad bit galling but when it was over, the FUN parts started kicking in!!

Firstly, there was the Eve's of Valentines, where afew college buddies and I went to pyramid to camwhore, in which, MY CAMERA'S BATTERY WAS SOO LOW, IT KONGED!!!! I did charge it the night before though. I did. Then there was some drama which left an awfull taste in my mouth. Yeah. Whatever man.

THEN, there was VALENTINES!!!!!!!!! Like..... VALENTINES!!!! I gave 15 treasured dudes chocolate bars, 5 of which were college buddies. Yay!! Then the night came and the WHOLE gang (except for Elyna, man, I miss her likeCRAZY!!!) wentto pizza vs satay. Mirshal surprised me too!! Yeah, anyway, we ended up ordering Valentines sets, except for Ji Kinwho was missing his other half. Anyway, I shared a set with Yi Wei and due to the lacking of cutleries, we ended up feeding each other. HAHAHAHA, so cute.

The drama>>>>> Sheryll and Wye Cheung's food arrived late and I asked for a cut in the price. The dude was like " yayaya,yes we cut!" so we were all expecting a price reduction. When the bills came however, no pricewas reduced.Inquiring this from the dude, we were like" You say cut. Where got?" And he was like " yes yes yes, we accept CARD, you want maybank?" AND we were like "......... no no no, cut in price!!!" And he was like "Ya ya ya we accept CARD, you want CARD or cash?"

HAHAHA then half of us went to Mc'D's, talked about stuff andmet Jason at the park, where we laughed our asses off!! YAY!!
