Mmm.. I haven't made a list in a long time. And we all know how much I like lists. Strange lists. Random lists. Completely unfollowable lists. But lists just the same!
I think I'll make a random one today. Because I'm half asleep, but I can't sleep coz I'm thinking too much. About somethi.. No, that's not quite right, but I won't bother elaborating. Takes waaay too much effort to write in double entendres when the brain's shut down! Hehe.
Here goes...
21-Things-Elaine-Can-Think-Of-While-In-A-Stupor:
1. I just realised how much I love the movie "Dear Frankie" after watching it again last night! Simple, straightforward, heartfelt movies ROCK!
2. One random conclusion from the movie: Gerard Butler is hot-ness personified! Drownable eyes, super-bod, Scottish accent.. what more could you ask for? Hypothesis confirmed ;)
3. I am a sucker for sad parent-child, family-ish tales. I cry. Buckets.
4. The song "Butterfly Kisses" makes me cry, too. Reminds me of me and my dad!
5. Adam Sandler is actually a not-too-bad actor! Amazing how life surprises you.
6. I'm an Italian food addict. Like, for real. I could live on it.
7. David says my kids will be the only Malaysian kids whose complaints about their meals will be: "Mum! Not pasta again!"
8. Ribena + vodka tastes like cough syrup. Uck.
9. Vodka any other way is fine. Fantastic even. And yes. It's my favourite sorta alcohol.
10. New personal record: I haven't read a novel longer than 300 pages since.. March, maybe? I haven't had the available brainpower to concentrate for long enough to finish it while I'm still interested!
11. I should learn to stay away from chocolates. My thighs are suffering! So are my skirts.
12. Ethan is the cutest kid I know! And the cuddliest! He is 3.. and calls me "Yane". So cute!!!
13. David and I have the most un-(dis?)-proportionate legs in the universe. Thigh-calf length ratio is absolutely whack. Too short thighs, too long calfs. That, folks, is the sad story of our legs.
14. I love roses - unless they're red, white or yellow. But orchids are my absolute favourite flower. In case you haven't figured that out already.
15. Westlife is the greatest boyband alive. 'Nuff said.
16. I. Absolutely. Dread. Turning. 20. The "teen" in my current age makes it easier to still try to be a kid - even if I haven't exactly been one in years.
17. I miss my kids!! Haven't seen them in weeks!!
18. My 5-year-old Sunday School class kids, people. Lol. Don't worry.
19. I want a golden retriever! *sniffles* Or any other large, friendly dog. Tiny dogs are cute, but I'd like my dog to be big enough to hug without suffocating him.
20. It's possible that I've finally figured out what I want in a man! Hip hip hurray! You don't want to know about that now, though. That list is... longer than this one, I think!
21. The reason I watched "Dear Frankie" again was coz of an impulsive need to hear Scottish accents. (Gerard Butler was a major plus! Hehe..)
All righty, I have to go try figure out some Trigonometry thingy again - the solution's been eluding me since.. yesterday, technically.
[PS: Anyone have any idea where to find the VCD/DVD of the movie Chocolat? Need help. Let me know if you do..! *biiig hugs in advance*]

22 Years!
It's my parents' 22nd anniversary. Twenty-second. 22 years. That's 3 years older than I am. And in my books, that's LONG.
How do people do it? Stay together for so long, I mean. How do they survive living with same person, day in day out, knowing them inside out and upside down? How do they do it, in spite of the arguments and fights and sometimes extremely hurtful words?
I don't understand it at all. But then, I think maybe that's the way it's supposed to be. Maybe love isn't meant to be "figured out". Maybe it's enough to know that it exists and just give in to it.
Maybe love makes it impossible not to care about the other person. Impossible not to miss them. Impossible to imagine life without them. Even when they hurt you so badly, it almost destroys you.
I guess love isn't something that can be controlled. You either do, or you don't. There isn't any in-between. It's only the TYPE of love that changes, I think. If it ever does.
Maybe I'll be so lucky as to find that man one day. A man that I love enough to endure anything for. Until I find him, though, I don't ever want to commit myself to a marriage. Coz marriage is tough enough as it is, with love to guide you through the rocky parts!
That's why I admire my parents. And that's why I'm so happy for today (well, other than the fact that I wouldn't exist if not for it! lol..). They've stuck out the bad times and remained faithful to each other in all ways. And in spite of all the bickering that really is inevitable when you're in each other's faces all the time, they still love each other enough to fight for what they've got!
And that's the kind of marriage I want - with the man I'd be willing to fight dragons for! And for once, this is not me being loony with my head in the clouds. For once, this is the real thing and I hope that I'll always remember it!

I Don't Have A Clue!
I'm addicted to Celine Dion. Really, I am. Mainly coz I'm a sucker for mushy romantic ballads. I wonder why that is.
What I DO know is that I have the Hero syndrome. The knight-in-shining-armour-who-sweeps-you-off-your-feet syndrome. [Oh, bite me. I can't help it.] ALTHOUGH.. I don't think I'm quite cut out for the whole helpless, swooning maiden who needs saving role.
Sigh.
What is to do? What IS to DO? Poor Elaine doesn't know.
[Yo Vin, you still up for forgoing the male species and setting up the Old Maids With Kids association? :P ]
God, I'm such a sad case! Haha.
I miss the DEDS. We used to "sing" every single holiday since we were 10! Right up til.. 2003, was it? Although our "repertoire" only consisted of all things Westlife, with a little BSB, Blue and Linkin Park (lol!) thrown in here and there. So saddening la, this eras being over business. Me no liking!
Speaking of Westlife.. I heard they're heading to Singapore as part of their Asian tour? Anyone with info, let me know please! What can I say? Old fanaticisms die hard! Although I think it's a shame they don't come to Malaysia anymore. Especially after the turnouts at their concerts! The football game they had was amazing too - we made a GORGEOUS banner, I tell ya! Although, "Westlife - Sultans Of Our Hearts"..? Oh well. I think if I could go back and do it all over again, I'd probably do it exactly the same!
Mm. So much for living in the present. All my thoughts lately have been about the good ol' days.. I wonder why. Maybe that's what happens when you read your own blog archives. (There you have it - clear, undeniable proof that I have no semblance of a life. Sigh.)
That's probably also how I know my writing's deteriorated. I should be 2 years maturer, but NOOO. Still the same ol' Elaine. Wheeee! Hm.. Maybe I should be thankful for that. I actually kinda liked the old me better. The new me's too reclusive for my liking! For real.
Uh oh. I'm runnin' away with myself. See? This is what happens when I just leave my fingers to their own devices. Sigh. They can't be controlled, I tell ya!
OOOookay. Will shut up now.
Have a good day!
PS: Man U won their first Champions League game against Celtic last night and they top their group! Yeeehaww! :D

Round and Round and Round It Goes...
I just realized that I have some very distinct habit patterns. Especially around exam times.
Case No. 1:
Sleep has come easily to me for the past year - I could sleep before 12, sometimes as early as 10. And I could wake up early, too - 5.45 a.m. was pretty standard.
However, ever since August drifted (sped?) to a close and tagged good ol' September, I haven't had ANY sleeping patterns to speak of. One day I'll sleep at 7 p.m., wake up at 6.45 a.m. - barely. Another I'll not sleep at all... and spend the rest of the day like the zombie I used to be in high school.
Case No. 2:
I haven't blogged properly in months. All of a sudden, just when the trials start, I'm blogging every day! And it's not like I have anything of consequence to say. I just have this compulsive need to type.
It's deja vu, folks. This thing's scarily similar to what I was during the months leading up to the SPM exams. Oh, and I've started the coffee infusions. Again. After a whole year of trying to wean myself off dependance on caffeine.
Yippee!
Now if only my writing capabilities could revert to what they once were, life would be absolutely glorious. I rue the day that I stopped blogging properly! My writing skills are so rusty they make Malaysia's old underground pipes look like pure silver *mutters in frustration*
Words don't flow as easily as they used to.. I remember a time when I didn't have to think at all, just let my fingers move.
Hm.. maybe that's the answer. I'll try that tomorrow and see what I come up with. Oooh boy. It's been a long time... Oh well. Worst I can do is make a complete fool of myself - which won't be anything new, either!
Win-win, folks, that's what it is!
Now if only that bloomin' Astro Smartcard would work, life would be absolutely peachy.
Goodbye my lovers.

Set Adrift On A Memory Bliss..
Anyone remember that BSB song? It's pretty old by now - what, 7 years, maybe? Oh well, doesn't matter if you don't. The song isn't the point here. The title is.
Lately I keep getting flashbacks of what life was like in MGS, during the school hols with my darling, darling cousins, choir practices...
Even our completely neurotic conversations, Ju! What was that you called me again? Sleepy Suicidal Zombie-like Mole? I still can't quite get the order right! Man oh man.
(To the uninformed - no, I wasn't suicidal. The MOLE was suicidal. I was just sleepy and zombie-like. Ju Li just decided we were both the same person is all. I know. She's delusional. She actually thought the school cat would care if she greeted it. Right. And I doubt you're making any sense of this "explanation". Hehe. I am evil.)
I don't know why I'm suddenly feeling so nostalgic. Maybe it's the meds I'm taking. They're making feel like I'm floooaaatiiingg..... *dances around room*
I'll leave you with a bit (just the top half) of another song I've been wondering about.. do guys actually wanna hear stuff like that? I can NEVER tell! Adios, amigos!
Tell Him - Celine Dion and Barbara Streisand
I'm scared
So afraid to show I care
Will he think me weak
If I tremble when I speak
Oooh - what if
There's another one he's thinking of
Maybe he's in love
I'd feel like a fool
Life can be so cruel
I don't know what to do
I've been there
With my heart out in my hand
But what you must understand
You can't let the chance
To love him pass you by
Tell him
Tell him that the sun and moon
Rise in his eyes
Reach out to him
And whisper
Tender words so soft and sweet
I'll hold him close to feel his heart beat
Love will be the gift you give yourself

QnA With Ze Gueen
Whoopee! Haven't done one of this in awhile! This was taken from Ju's blog. JEN! I didn't receiver the one you sent me.
Okay people, I'll just post and be gone. I need sleep. Oh, and I'll add the colour colour all when I get back to my good ol' comp in Klang.
************
1. Whose picture is it that you keep in your wallet?
* Only pictures in my wallet are on my IC and driving license. David's baby pic was there, once upon a time!
2. What time do you go to bed?
* Generally it's around 12 a.m. But lately I've taken to staying up til 3 in the morning, at least! I was reading through my archives - and it seems that this is standard exam behaviour for me! Sad sad sad.
3. What's on your mind just now?
* How to get the car so I can go buy some junk. Food, I mean. My house is SERIOUSLY lacking in nutrient-free goodies. Bah. It's no wonder I'm so cranky these days!
4. What was the latest movie you saw?
* Hm.. Snakes On The Plane, I think. Not bad for a movie which had some of the most artificial looking snakes every created by mankind.
5. When was the last time you went out?
* Sunday - took Ryan, Brandon and Ethan (my lil cousins) out for ice cream with Sharm, Dave and mum.
6. What do you hate the most for now?
* The fact that we're made to study things which will have no effect whatsoever on what we're going to do! I'm absolutely NOT gonna do differentiation with the number of my patient's teeth.
7. What things you want to do now?
* Just for the exams to be over and done with. They making me go out of my mind! Plenty of proof of THAT lately, if you asked me.
8. What do you do everyday besides eat?
* Watch TV, read, try to study, go online... repeat cycle and end with sleep at whatever hour I feel like it. Hm. Is it just me or don't I seem to have social life? Lol.
9. Talked on the phone just to say good night?
* Just to say goodnight? Uh.. Never?
10. Miss someone?
* Yes indeedy! A few someones in fact - top o' the list being the famously infamous INSANELY SANE! (Still can't believe that nickname stuck.. haha!)
11. Are you a coffee addict?
* I was - especially when I was 17. I've cut down now, but maybe that's why I've been so moody this year! Caffeine withdrawal symptoms! AHA! No one shall stand between me and my coffee! No one on this ball we call Earth!
12. Are you satisfied with your life now?
* Not exactly. I'm not doing what I REALLY want to do... but in so many other ways, I live a charmed life - so I shan't complain more about THAT.
13. Will you share a glass of water with a friend?
* Why the hell wouldn't I? We share ice creams, for cryin' out loud!
14. When was the last time you ate seafoods?
* Ages and ages ago! Oh hang it all. Now I've got a craving for seafood. GRRRR.
15. Ever had a food fight?
* Um.. don't think so. But we usually came up with pretty nasty concotions; to describe just one - crushed vitamin C tablets with milk, grape juice, biscuit bits and the oil from the cod liver oil capsule.
Ugh.
16. What do you usually eat for breakfast?
* Nowadays I'm a good girl and eat bread. Before this it was a cuppa coffee, and out the door I go!
17. Lost a friendship over something stupid?
* Nope, not really. I've never actually LOST a friendship.. we just sort of drifted apart and started hanging out with different people.
18. Who's on your mind?
* Dumdeedoo.. this one's easy! And I am SO not telling! Muahahahahaha!
19. How's your heart lately?
* According to my know-it-all lil bro, I have arrythmia (did I spell that right?). According to me mum, it's palpitations. All I feel is an adrenaline rush every now and then. Question: Menopause doesn't occur at 19, does it? Haha.
20. Reminds you of ur 1st love?
* I can't remember who my first "love" was! Too darn many teeny weeny crushes over the years. That's what happens when you start noticing boys too early. You either forget a whole lot, or you're scarred for life (esp when older guys are involved!)
21. Ever had a crush on a teacher?
* Yeah, Ju! Rudy and David Fan! Haha.. I can't believe we all actually had crushes on them! They must've been, what, 25? And we were, like, 11! *shakes head sadly* We really were delusional, huh!
*****************
That's the best thing about memories.. They make your life seem like it really happened, that you weren't just drifting through life aimlessly without ever leaving a mark in someone's heart that says, "I Was Here"!

Shortie
I am BACK!
Okay, not for REAL real because I doubt I can be on much longer. I give my parents about 5 minutes tops before they come in here and drag me off.
Sigh. I choose the best times to blog, don't I?
I'm so out of practice at this that I can't think of anything to write at all! But I just figured I should get back in the habit. My writing skills lately have been appallingly atrocious! I can't seem to construct a nice, concise sentence. What most people can say in 5 words, I say in 26.
Ugh.
Moving on.
David's got his L license! Gosh, does time fly... I've been a C (what does that stand for?) driver for more than a month now, and my baby brother is going to get his P license pretty soon. *shakes head in disbelief*
It's pretty hard to swallow, this time thing... especially since I still think of him as this little thing that I have to protect at all costs. Sigh. But I still give in when he begs me to take him out on "test drives"! I'm a sucker for his big, puppy-dog "pweeeassseee!" eyes. Argh. Have more backbone, girl!
Y'know, I'm missing the Insanely Sane like crazy right now. I have no idea why. Or maybe it's coz you guys are my best friends and I haven't seen a single one of you in a month! And Ju's in Hong Kong and Ee May's in Adelaide.. Jen, we HAVE to coordinate our schedules one day or I'm gonna get much insaner than is normal, even for me! Haha. I miss you guys la! You have NO idea how much! (In fact, I think you guys are the reason that I'm blogging today.. I just realized that!)
The post that is hardly a post has to end here. Mum just threatened to pull out the wires. Hehe. Told you!
I'll try and not procrastinate too much and write a PROPER one soon.
Over and out.
Okay, not for REAL real because I doubt I can be on much longer. I give my parents about 5 minutes tops before they come in here and drag me off.
Sigh. I choose the best times to blog, don't I?
I'm so out of practice at this that I can't think of anything to write at all! But I just figured I should get back in the habit. My writing skills lately have been appallingly atrocious! I can't seem to construct a nice, concise sentence. What most people can say in 5 words, I say in 26.
Ugh.
Moving on.
David's got his L license! Gosh, does time fly... I've been a C (what does that stand for?) driver for more than a month now, and my baby brother is going to get his P license pretty soon. *shakes head in disbelief*
It's pretty hard to swallow, this time thing... especially since I still think of him as this little thing that I have to protect at all costs. Sigh. But I still give in when he begs me to take him out on "test drives"! I'm a sucker for his big, puppy-dog "pweeeassseee!" eyes. Argh. Have more backbone, girl!
Y'know, I'm missing the Insanely Sane like crazy right now. I have no idea why. Or maybe it's coz you guys are my best friends and I haven't seen a single one of you in a month! And Ju's in Hong Kong and Ee May's in Adelaide.. Jen, we HAVE to coordinate our schedules one day or I'm gonna get much insaner than is normal, even for me! Haha. I miss you guys la! You have NO idea how much! (In fact, I think you guys are the reason that I'm blogging today.. I just realized that!)
The post that is hardly a post has to end here. Mum just threatened to pull out the wires. Hehe. Told you!
I'll try and not procrastinate too much and write a PROPER one soon.
Over and out.

Nana
I can't write much right now coz I'm running out of time.. Er. That didn't sound right. I'm just using my cousins' comp, and I have to go home now, is all.
SO. A lot of things have been going on lately, not all of it good. It's been a tough month or so, and just last week my grandmother, whom I've been helping to look after a little, passed away on the 2nd of August. She was 92, so she's lived a good long life. I know that, and I also know that she's in a better place, free from all the pain and suffering that is part of this life.
However, I can't help missing her presence in my life. It feels so weird, especially since there was a time when I couldn't stand spending so much time with her. But now, I'm glad that I did. I have memories that no one else will ever have of her, and I can reassure myself that she knew I cared, right up to the end.
It's still pretty hard to accept - she's been a fixture in my life for 19 years, a constant, if you will. But now she's gone. And a whole generation with her. I never did get to learn the songs she wanted to teach me "when she got better", or her cream puffs and custards, which she was supposed to teach me to make during the holidays. A lot of wasted chances, and I guess the regrets are just starting to surface, since the fact that she's gone forever is only just starting to sink in.
Anyway, I'll end this depressing thing now. But I have absolute faith that she's happier now than she's ever been in her looong life. And I really do thank God for that.
Bye peeps.. I LOVE YOU ALL!

Okay Already! :P
I have been accused of neglecting to post. Lol. I'm afraid I shall have to plead guilty to that one. Sigh. I so rarely get on the computer these days that when I do, I sort of lose whatever it is I'd been meaning to write about all week long! Pathetic, eh?
Anyway, last week was rather eventful - the week-long Golden Jubilee Treasure Hunt took up basically all of our time ["our" being Allan, KP, Jessmine and me]. I must say that I was pretty impressed with the resilience of some of the participants - I know the course we Upper Sixers set was NOT easy. But they still carried on with relative good humour. Great sports, they were. I'm so proud of them!!!! [Cue - "Awww!"]
I beginning to rediscover the joys of single life.. It's just so much simpler! No guilt, no keeping awake wondering if he's missing you, no watching your every step so as not offend him or embarrass yourself, no forcing yourself not to notice other hotter guys.. Man! Contrary to what Mr. Teddy would have me think, I'd say the single life is a heck of a lot easier! At this stage in life, at least :) [But knowing me I shall find someone to have a crush on again.. like, tomorrow. Sigh. SAD!]
Y'know, I noticed something - the minute I stop praying, my life just comes crashing down around my ears. I'm serious! Take one step back and immediately I'm swamped with temptations. It's REALLY scary. To all Christians reading this - if our lives feel like it's going nowhere, that's probably coz it's not focused in the right direction. As long as our goal is Jesus, everything'll fall into place - somehow. I guess we just have to trust in that.
And for all my rantings and ravings about crushes and broken hearts, I know that these things are only fleeting... It's just time I make myself remember that :D Oh, I'll still complain, coz it's plain good fun to discuss ridiculous relationships on a very public blog (lol!), but as long as I know I'm keeping the reality in perspective.. Yeah.
Okay, gotta go. Have to head back to PJ now. Bye til next time! :)

Pacifier :)
Okay, I admit I'm a lousy updater. THERE. I said it. [Satisfied, KP Chen? :P]
I've hardly been able to find the time to think about what to write, let alone write it! Blame it on lack of sleep la, if you want. The World Cup is really taking it's toll! Haha.. But I ain't complaining. This is one of the most fun times in 4 years!
There's a week-long Treasure Hunt going on in school right now, and we 6th Formers are planning it. Or rather, the Lower 6-ers are planning the preliminary rounds, and the Upper 6 is doing the final. Thus far it's been a fun sort of headache. And good exercise too!
WC updates - ENGLAND IS IN THE QUARTER FINALS!
That's all there is to know, baby :D
I'll end with by sharing the lyrics of a song by Christian pop group Avalon - I love the lyrics to this song coz they're just so TRUE! I wish I knew how to put up MP3s or whatever.. This song is beautiful! Bye people..
Everything To Me
I grew up in Sunday School
I memorized the golden rule
And how Jesus came
To set the sinner free
I know the story inside out
I could tell you all about
The path that led Him up
To Calvary
But ask me why He loves me
And I don't know what to say
But I'll never be the same because
He changed my life when He became
Everything to me
He's more than a story
More than words on a page
Of history
He's the air that I breathe
The water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
He's everything
Everything to me
We're living in uncertain times
And more and more I find
That I'm aware of just
How fragile life can be
I wanna tell the world I've found
A love that turned my life around
They need to know
That they can taste and see
So everyday I'm praying
Just to give my heart away
I wanna live for Jesus
So that someone else might see
That He is
Everything to me
He's more than a story
More than words on a page
Of history
He's the air that I breathe
The water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
He's everything
And looking back over my life at the end
I'm gonna meet You
Saying You've been
You're everything to me
You're more than a story
More than words on a page
Of history
You're the air that I breathe
The water I thirst for
And the ground beneath my feet
You're everything
Lord, You're everything to me

Two Sides Of A Coin :)
You know how they say that the best things in life are unexpected? That's true, but also disastrously untrue.
Let's look at the same quote in the 2 different contexts based on life experiences. (My life la, of course!)
*************
True
David and I were coerced into going for a youth retreat in Johor last week. I can tell you now that my reaction was "WHAT THE HELL FOR?!" I've been for gazillions of youth retreats and they're all the same - shallow, a bit fun, and VERY superficial.
Boy, was I wrong.
I went in expecting to be mildy entertained, and what I got was a slam bang "WAKE UP ELAINE!!" call. I think it shocked me into paying attention. Which is a good thing, because my life has pretty much been derailed for a long while now. And I finally got the shake to get me back on track.
Oh, and the youth there were definitely not what I was expecting. I'm so used to the clique-ishness of the KL crowd that it was a VERY refreshing surprise to note that the Johor youth welcomed Dave and me into their crowd without so much as a blink.
That = good unexpectedness.
False
I have an old friend. Who thus far has been nothing more than an old friend. Who was never particularly attractive either. But when I met said old friend again recently, my heart just went BOOM! Talk about an unpleasant shock.
And I think I know why - I've seen just how much more mature he is now, and how strong he is, and I can't deny that he's become so much more appealing than I ever remember him being. Which would be entirely ridiculous if I hadn't been so aware of WHY I've started becoming attracted to him - something that has NEVER happened to me before.
Those who know me know that I usually have NO clue why I like the guys that I do. This time, I know exactly why, and the reason is so solid that it terrifies me no end. Okay, I wouldn't classify him as good-looking, but he actually has substance this time.
Best part is, I have to force myself to act normal in front of him. I hate that. And I think he noticed something was wrong. I'm hoping not, though. It'd be soooo awkward! Sigh.
And, that folks, is the bad side of the unexpected.
*************
So you see? That's why all quotes shouldn't be taken at face value. The prosecution rests.
Court dismissed! Goodnight!

TRIUMPH OF THE SOUL PATROL!
I know this is old news, but:
THE SOUL PATROL HAS CURED THE MCPHEEVER!!!!
Hahahaha! I love it, baby :D Y'know, I screamed so loud when Ryan Seacrest said "Taylor Hicks" that our maid came running from the kitchen - which is waaaay on the otherside of the house - to see what happened :P I think I scared her to death.
Teehee.
But but BUT, my FAVOURITEST (lol) part of the show, was BY FAR!, the "surprise" appearance by Clay Aiken. Have I ever told you that I'm in love with Clay Aiken and would marry him, like, now? Haha. Yeah. Well, now you know :D I'd marry him - even if he DOES kinda look like a Korean actor now (what's with the hairstyle, man? *shakes head*)
And Yin - he's mine! But if you want, I'll loan him to you on Monday.. since it's your birthday and all.... Haha.
CLAY AIKEN! WOOooOOHhOOO! He's MY American Idol. I love Elliott.. but Clay's still No. 1. Nombor Satu. Numero Uno. Er... I don't know any other languages so I'll shut up now.
AH YEA! The school holidays have started. WHOOPPEEE! 2 weeks of.. well, freedom of sorts. No school is ALWAYS a good thing. 'Cept that I'll have to work on my Math. Needless to say, I still suck at it. Big time.
OH! It's still the 26th isn't it?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JU LI AND DAVID!!!!
Amazing coincidence that my bro and best friend share the same birthday, ey? Weird! And they're turning into each other!!! It's so freaky...
Anyway. Gotta go now.
WooHOoooo! CLAY AIKEN! IloveyouIloveyouIloveyou!
Right. BYE!

SOULPATROLSOULPATROLSOULPATROL!
Bio and Chem are over. And so am I. My existence, I mean. Coz once the teachers read the rubbish I wrote, they'll be fighting among themselves for the right to kill me first. And whoever comes in second will re-kill me anyway.
I am serious.
Anyway, enough of that depressing stuff. Taylor Hicks completely blew me away today. I had goosebumps listening to the guy! And guess what - that's only ever happened to me when I watched Clay Aiken and Elliot Yamin sing. So.. Yeah.
GO SOUL PATROL!
On another note.. JU LI's COMING BACK IN 3 DAYS! WHOOOOPPEEEEEEE!
(Gratifying to know you're missed THAT much, eh Julesy? :P)
I can't wait to hang out with her again. I also can't believe 8 months have passed so fast. It's hard to believe when she left, I was just getting used to being in a completely new school, and missing her like CRAZY. I still miss her, but I'm used to the school now. Lovely people.
And I'm starting to sound like my cousin Ava. Not surprising, since she's been talking to me non-stop for at least 2 hours a day. Which is good. I've only seen her 4 times in my life, and one when I was so young, it's practically negligible. So yeah. LOADS of catching up to do. And it helps a lot that she makes all her "stories" so interesting.
Oh, and have I told you that this weekend, I'll be the brokest that I have ever been in my entire life? This is the reason:
Ju Li's birthday: May 26
David's birthday: May 26 (yeah, same date)
Yin's birthday: May 29
Someone tell me. How can I NOT be broke when I have 3 presents to by on the SAME weekend? Sigh. Not that I'm complaining about buying presents.. Just that.. Why'd you guys have to come out so close to each other, huh? Couldn't you have spared us poor souls a money-less stint by postponing the uh.. urge to come out?
LOL. Good lord. I have NO idea what I'm saying. Ignore me :D
Anyway, I think I'd better go now. Using my cousin's computer and I don't wanna overstay my welcome, so...
Oh and Ju. I have obviously updated :P Email me and give me the details of your arrival, and schedule for the next 2 weeks, aight?
Bye people!
I am serious.

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :'(
Can you believe I'm in a cyber cafe? Sigh. It's sad when I have to resort to that. I really should start wheedling a computer (or prefarably a laptop hehe) from my mum. Beg whine and grovel, actually. I think she'll expect at least that. And probably end up saying no anyway. Ah! Woe is me!
David caught a viral infection. Again. It's really weird, coz these viral infections only show up on weekends. Therefore, me and Sharmo have come to the conclusion that David's actually the Las Vegas of the viral world. Weekend holidays for viruses. Y'know, "Viralville", to quote my darling cousin. And I must say, their timing is impeccable. Seems they know their host is more than happy to get sick on Sunday, and recover on Tuesday. LOL.
OH NO! Elliott's GONE!!! *sobs heart out* How COULD they?! HOW COULD THEY?! Oooooh the agony!! Sigh. I've decided I'm in the Soul Patrol camp. I think Kat's a little too full of herself for me. Much like Nita, except that Kat actually HAS a reason to be. Blah. But still, being full of yourself is no good in my books. But OOOOHHHH ELLIOTTT!!! *cries heart out*
Oh, I only know this coz I've been on the Idol webbie. Don't know if I'm gonna be home in time to catch the result show and there is NO WAY IN HELL I could wait til 8.
Yes I know I'm an addict.
Ah hell. I'm depressed now. I think I better go off. Sigh.
For the record, I seem to be having a thing for Canadian guys I can't see. Bah. Bloody Luc's spoiled me. Dammit.
Okaaay. No more nonsense. I promise.
Buhbye.

Of 1st and 3rd Generation Women.. Sorta :)
I have a niece who is 2 weeks old today. Bernadine Rachel Thong Wern Lee.
OHMIGOSH.
I have a niece! That's an amazing thing in itself... Wow. You have no idea how exciting it is to have a new generation in the family. We're now back to having 3 generations!! Woooohooo!!!
And yeah - I'm her godmother :D Only thing I don't like about the role is the fact that people are referring to me as the "Godmother" (as in the "Godfather" *rolls eyes at the utter lameness of it*), courtesy of one Beng Beng a.k.a Teddy. He's, of course, promised me he'll never call me that again but... That's one promise he has yet to keep. YOU HEAR, BENG WEI?! [Su, help me out here. LOL.]
Anyway, back to the topic at hand... I want to see the kid so badly. Unfortunately something ALWAYS comes up. Sigh. First my grandma, now David's sick. I can't believe I haven't seen my goddaughter yet and she's been in this world for 2 whole weeks! I'm such a failure. *sniffles*
But needless to say, we're all so excited about having a little niece to dote upon. The way things are going now, she'll probably be spoiled rotten by the time she's old enough to say "mama". Haha... Having 15 aunties can do that to a kid :) Especially since at least 3 of those aunties have very soft spots for kids. Luckily though, most of her aunts are still teenagers, so we can't spoil her THAT much. Yet. Hehe.
Okay, this post is just for me to kill time... but funnily enough, I already love that kid without even seeing her. I suppose that's what family is, huh? :)
Goodnight all!
Oh and, one more thing:
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all mothers!!!!
And just so the whole world knows,
I HAVE THE BEST MOTHER IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE!
I do, and you'd better believe it!
Okay, signing off now. Goodnight again! :)
OHMIGOSH.
I have a niece! That's an amazing thing in itself... Wow. You have no idea how exciting it is to have a new generation in the family. We're now back to having 3 generations!! Woooohooo!!!

YES!
I just had to post this:
ELLIOTT IS IN THE FINAL 3!!!!!!
Woooohooooo!
Okay, so I'm hoping like CRAZY he'll go all the way.. Fingers crossed people!
And remember: This is a singing contest, not a Mr. Universe contest - so there!
I LOVE ELLIOTT YAMIN! WoooooH!

Just So You Know..
MUET exams are over. Finally. It wouldn't be such a big deal, except for the high expectations all 'round. Y'know? Okay, so my English is a little better than average. But I'm horrible, HORRIBLE at speaking. My spoken English is so the rojak-ed that it can get a little weird. And there's proof enough in that sentence. Lol.
Sigh.
Anyway, I guess I should let all you people know this (yes, especially those who still seem to think I'm hung up on "someone"). I'm over him. 100%. I know you guys find it a bit hard to believe me, but please. Do. For both our sakes. Do the words "just friends" mean anything to you? And that's all we'll ever be.
And I've realised that I like the single life too much to want any form of relationship right now. Took me 19 years to reach that conclusion, but what the heck. It's a good one and I'm sticking to my resolve. This time. (Right, Ju, you can stop rolling your eyes right about now :P)
It's an amazing feeling, y'know? This whole being crushless thing. Now I'm free to er... "sight-see" :P *winks at Steph* We should go do that more often, girl! Haha.
I loved catching up with Jen, Ee May and Dav last Saturday. After which Dav, Jen and me went to the Evergreen hair saloon and did our hair. Just for the heck of it :P That was some random fun, eh girls? :)
Oh! And Ju's coming back in... just a little more than 2 weeks time. I CAN'T WAIT! My bestest friend in the whole wide world is coming back!!!! *giggles* I couldn't possibly sound more like a 7 year old now, could I? Oh well. But I AM glad she's coming back. And for THREE MONTHS! Oh boy, the awesomeness. [Must feel good to know you're missed so much, hey Julesy? :P And all this in spite of the fact that you liked the school cat more than me... *grins*]
Okay. Duty done for the day. Don't you DARE say I never update, Jules! ;)
And yeah, a reminder : I AM OVER HIM.
Thank you.
Sigh.

I Posted! I POSTED!
It's May. I cannot believe I only posted ONCE in April! Me, the notorious obsessive-blogger. Will wonders never cease.
You know, it's weird. I'm changing. Pretty drastically, actually. I'm so reclusive now, it's bordering on the scary. I'm not writing anymore, and what I DO write is.. well, not worth reading, really.
Ah, self-pity is a beautiful thing, is it not? We should all wallow in it. Makes us better people. Really. You should try it sometime.
Now, is it not obvious that I've lost my mind?
Sigh. Why oh why did I choose Form 6? Should've just done psychology and be done with it. Unfortunately we live in Malaysia, where we have more nuts than nut houses and even less people who want to help them.
Oh, and not to mention that most nuts don't want to acknowledge their nuttiness. I'm just glad that the nuts I know actually LIKE being nuts, and admit to it. Otherwise I'd be pretty darned lonely. Hehe. Although.. I'm not so sure I want THESE nuts helped. They're much funner as nuts. Dontcha think so?
Lordy. It's been ages since I've written about nuts. Must've been in Form 5 the last time I did that. Sigh. It seems ages ago. I FEEL SO OLD! I'm 3 months closer to being 20. TWENTY!
ARRRGHHHHHH!
Am I overreacting? Am I? AM I?
I KNOW it's a little too early to be freaking out, but.. dammit. I don't want to grow up. I want to stay a kid. Forever.
No, scratch that. I like some of the stuff that comes with being older. Like being able to go out without being called every 2 seconds by worried parents. Like playing footsie which gorgeous guys under a table at Coffee Bean. (Yes, Jenna.. it happened ;P). Like finding out that I don't know of a single guy I would want to date on a long term basis. Or one who has the power to make me want him, for that matter. Oops. Am I supposed to be being positive here? Sorry.
It's so frustrating! The first guy I can actually see myself being cosy with is halfway across the world.. and the likelihood of either of us budging is.. well.. zero to none. SO THE SAD LA I TELL YOU!
*sniffles*
Haha.. Okay. Griping quota over for the day. Ahh.. it's good to gripe every once in awhile. Okay. Every twice, thrice or quadrupice in awhile. HAHA. KOK PUN! All your fault. I'm getting lamer by the second!
(I particularly like the random thought progression, don't you? :P)
I'll wrap up with this:
Elaine's Guide To Clueless Guys:
1. Pick up on the small things, little things she says and does that give you hints of who she is. Believe me, she'll appreciate it a hell of a lot more than 100 roses that wilt faster than you can say "humid".
2. She's gotta be a perfect 10 - or over that, prefarably - to you. Otherwise she'll always feel less than adequate. And if she is anything but beautiful in your eyes, chances are you don't love her as much as you'd like to think you do. Oh, and she'll know it, too!
3. Say clever but sweet things. Remember secret jokes and remind her of them. She'll be thrilled that you remember.
4. Compliment her SINCERELY! If you exaggerate or make your compliments all flamboyant and too far-fetched (even for an apparently love-struck male), she'll never know when you're being serious and when you're not. And she'll end up being unsure of how real your compliments are.
Those are just a few tips I could think of. I know I'm fussy, but I believe in all or nothing. There was once a guy did all of the above, and believe me, it was AMAZING. Pity 'bout the circumstances, though.
Oh gosh. This one's a long one. I think I'd better stop, or you guys will wish I'll never write again. Ever.
Haha.
Bye, babes!
