Yesh, a little or maybe way much more on this post.

I stopped at Round 7 of the debate on Day 4.

Oh yeah, Round 6 and 7 were silent rounds, which means the results or any comments regarding the debate would not be mentioned till later.

So, after all of that with 7 freaking rounds were over, we headed back to the Moot Court for the results of who's going to be in for the double-octos. You know what, I love that place. It's this hall like a mock court, with the jury seats and all. And the chairs are really grand XD Actually that's not really the point, it's also the place where all of participating teams gather every time and I really get the "Debaters United!" spirit, especially during the roll call, which always starts with Chong Hwa Independent High School. Lol. I really miss those moments. I felt like I really belonged somewhere at last =)

So after the results, SIGS A got into the double octos and off we went to watch it. The motion was something about merging Perodua and Proton.

Anyhow, it ended there and then. I'm super proud of our senior team, consisting of Ju Chin, Nicole, Sherylee and Maya. Fierce debaters indeed XD

After that, Jasmine and I got lost and ended up hanging out with the SMSAH team. They were really friendly and all, staying with us all the way even though it meant being bitten by mozzies and tanning out in the sun. Love them lots =D

Initially the plan was to chill with the SMSAH team excluding Kak Azia as she wanted to study her Bio, but apparently Miss Aini, their teacher was not allowing them no matter what, so it was really depressing to see them leave =( Especially Add, she was planning on boycotting on her teacher just to go out with us. Luckily they managed a field trip to the city the next day, so it all went well =)

So..As the Jitra team's plan got cancelled, Jasmine was really disappointed as she really wanted to go to KLCC and see how it looks like in the night. She wanted to take pictures to show her family her experience in KL, so we still went out in the dead of the night for her. Oh well, it was kinda worth it, cos seriously, I had never seen Jasmine smiled sincerely for a long time. You guys wouldn't want to know about her real self. It's really..depressing.

Anyway, I had a good opportunity to snap some shots for myself.

Reached the hostel really late. Trust me, feeding myself to the mozzies and whatever insects that live on blood was horrid.

Day 5 - 15/04/2008

It was a free day for all of us.

Everybody went to 1U except for me and Jasmine.

How I wish I made Jasmine change her mind at that time.

Not like I didn't tried.

So, we went to Midvalley, Times Square and KLCC.

MPH and Borders especially was awesome.

Halfway though, this Chinese nun approached me and gave me two amulets. Okay fine. Long talk by her saying that I shall be blessed and live a long fruitful life.

But of course there has to be a catch.

I have to give her some sincere donations.

Of course I said no, I was outta duckets and she insisted I had to pay for the sake of my future and all that.

I said I wasn't a local and I don't have such cash.

And from there a heated argument began.

In the end I said I ran out of money after showing her my empty wallet. My duckets were in the pockets so yes, I admit I gave her false hopes, but it was really obvious she was practically showing an evil aura and smile when I produced my wallet.

Then, she just grabbed and practically snatched the amulets back and walked off in a huff.

Everybody was looking, no kidding.

Hello, I may be a loyal Buddhist, but you definitely can't fool me into these kind of scams. It's downright lowly trying to fool sincere followers, or I can't seem to find the right word, into deceitful things like this.

Slightly late for finals. Note that I said and emphasized on the word slightly. You guys know the rest of the story and I seriously don't wanna elaborate more. It brings back a whole load of tainted bad memories.

The fountain in KLCC at night. Jasmine loved it here.

Day 6 - 16/04/2008

The worst day of the entire trip.

Quote from a former classmate, "The whole world is against me." For my case it was a was, not is.

Managed to have a glimpse of how a BM parliamentary-styled debate was like. They get to actually refer to the other as beliau. Like that is way more formal than the English debates I guess. Nah.

Checked out early so that the rest can do more shopping.


Some photos I took while they were busy talking.

So we stopped by Alamanda, this new shopping centre in Shah Alam. I wasn't really interested, it was kinda empty. And just full of brands which I can't afford at all. Just aimlessly walked around feeling depressed over the prospect of being banned from debate for something I had been wrongly accused for. I hope I'm still in for the next 2 years anyway.

Went back to JB and that's about it.

Food for Thought:

1. One of the speakers from Damansara Jaya B reminded me A LOT of Sarah. But well, of course, Sarah could only be Sarah, so..XD
2. Add likes this guy from the Merbok team. The girls of SMSAH were also grooving over somebody from RMC XD
3. Rumours or was it a fact, that Chua and another university debater called Ibrahim or something were really husband and wife? Naomi said they would make a sweet couple but I think the other way round. Lol.

And anyhow, my most sincere thanks to Naomi and Michelle for I had grabbed a lot of pics from their respective blogs or/and Friendster accounts to complete this entry =)

This trip was freaking awesome despite the really major conflicts and misunderstandings I had with the rest. Would love to go again, but I really hope we still get Al-Ameenah cos it's the newest building which means it's in a better condition compared to the rest of the hostels, haha.

And, I really had never thought of the prospect we would meet new friends there. Seriously, that thought had never crossed my mind cos it was just all full of debate stuff. So, a big shoutout to the SMSAH team, the SWING team and Chong Hwa Independent High, you guys made this trip even more worthwhile ;)

Owh right, I still owe Miss Nav 4 essays, a powerpoint presentation and 2 reports on this trip. Whatever. The only bad thing about this trip, I am really majorly behind in my work. I seriously wonder how Naomi managed to get everything done! XD

So, hoping there's nothing important that I left out, I hope this much delayed post was enjoyed by all of you out there XD

Now, about my choir competition today...

Hmmmm...

Cheers till the next post! XDD

It’s not an English name I came up with for myself. My mother is indeed a genius in coming up with such a splendid name for me. Although my name has been unfortunately mutilated (nicknames are excluded) over the past years, full credits to my mum for my current identity.

I’m certainly looking forward to changing the word ‘patient’ to ‘survivor’! If you’re interested to read about my journey in battling lymphoma, you can click here to proceed to my cancer blog.

Ironic, I know; this blog is mainly pink instead. I like all colours actually, but I find myself having an affinity to the colour green. In fact, I can safely say that green is my soul colour.

Languages, music, fashion, photography, cultures, dance, literature, writing; just about anything, really. The arts truly intrigue me, especially thought-provoking pieces. Of course, the arts play a major role in inspiring me in my everyday life.

I don’t have a favourite genre – I read any book that interests me!

I am a trained right-hander from young, since apparently being left-handed is considered ‘wrong’. Basically, I’m ambidextrous! No wonder I find it easier to air guitar using my left hand than my right; I simply relate to the arts than subjects that deal with logical thinking better, too.

A stubborn Bull I am, too. I abhor being rushed. I prefer doing matters at my own reasonable pace. I don’t particularly like changes in my routine, but I can adapt quite easily. I’m a very practical person as well. I enjoy the beautiful things in life, but that doesn’t make me shun ugliness at all. Besides, it all depends on how one perceives beauty. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Still am, but I’m slowly learning to accept imperfection into my life. Also, I’m doing my best to erase the many expectations I have so I could one day master the art of letting go and freeing myself to simple happiness and joy.

Compared to before, I’m less dramatic nowadays. Language-wise, I attempt to blog flawlessly in English and speak proper English online with my peers. Call me a Grammar Nazi all you want, but that’s how I roll. I only converse in perfect English in formal situations and during my dramatic outbursts. Otherwise, I’m absolutely capable of communicating like the average Malaysian!

It’s a different issue altogether when you’re forced to learn for the sake of getting good grades, though. Other than that, I’m open to new information and knowledge anytime! I especially would like to learn more languages and pick up new musical instruments.

…are just some of the things I would love to do in the near future, hopefully!

the basic rules apply. If you respect me, I’ll respect you. If you happen to be someone who has low EQ skills, I’ll try to be tolerant but my patience is definitely limited. I’m observant when it comes to human behaviour. I’m a person of many opinions, but I don’t voice them out unless I trust you enough; I’m very honest and candid when it comes to the people I can trust. Even though I trust very easily, not everybody can prove that they’re all that nice. Hurt me, and I’ll only defend myself if necessary. Hurt my family or my friends – you won’t find me holding back.

Is there anything else you would like to know about me?
Throw me your questions and/or doubts here! I honestly have nothing to hide, so you’ll expect the truth and nothing but the truth.

It’s only how I phrase my answers that you’ll have to be aware of.
Or…you can click hereto go back to reading!
