morning lights;

And yeah, I am talking bout the year of 2009. It's like. 57 minutes to the year 2010 and all I really gotta say is that I'm gonna miss 2009 like helllllll. It wasn't a great year, really as Kyles said but it's definitely a year I'll be missing. No, wait. A year we're all gonna miss.

Thinking back I can only remember so clearly how I always wanted to grow up and start over fresh at some place new. In fact it was the last thing I plurked about.. too bad I don't put up the Plurk box anymore or you can see for yourself. In October when I officially enrolled as a SAM student in Taylors' University College, Subang, I just couldn't wait for high school to end so I could start college - with the new anything-you-want-to-wear attire, new study plan, new transport methods [yes, I'm driving!], new guys, new freedom. But standing right at where I am now, I think I can safely say I'd trade all that to keep the old. What do I mean by "old"?

I mean my old friends. All the times we spent laughing in class over stupid things.. the times we pakated not to do homework so that the teachers wouldn't get mad.. the times we scribbled like crazy copying each other's homework, the times we played cherades in class and shrieked our guesses at the top of our voices... All that - simply priceless.

There was once before that I felt like this. I felt so.. unsure about the year ahead and my future that I thought, "Hey, I wanna sit down and talk to the gang bout this laa. Have a nice heart-to-heart." And as I thought that, I pictured myself and all my friends in school. At the back of 5 Science Alpha, and having like. 6 of us crammed into 3 seats. And then it hit me. We're not going back to school. We're never going to be able to do that again.

So before this year ends, I just wanna shout out to all my schoolmates and friends that I care about that I'M GONNA MISS YOU LIKE FREAKING CRAZY AND NO ONE'S EVER GONNA REPLACE YOU GUYS IN MY HEART. I KNOW IT'S SO DAMN CLICHE TO SAY I HOPE WE'RE GONNA BE FRIENDS FOREVER, BUT HONESTLY, I REALLY DO WISH SO.
I know I don't have to say names for you guys to know who you are. Because honestly I care bout all of youuu. Hahaha.

All in all, I think this transition from the year 2009 to 2010 has taught me something really important : I don't like change. I don't like moving on.
But life just goes on this way.. and whether I like it or not, I have to accept it.
So my New Year resolutions are plain and simple for the year 2010. They are :
One, to keep in touch with my friends.
Two, to grow in God's eyes the way He wants me to.
Three, to simply grow up.

So I wish you all the very best in all your endeavours and no matter what happens, don't forget you have a friend named... WOON EE LAINE. aka MEEEEEEEE! ;D

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

And yeah although it was KINDA stupid.. thanks Zoey. Gonna miss having you around x)

Date : 30.12.2009
Time : 10.30 a.m. - 4.30 p.m. [but I came late! eheh]
Venue : All over Times Square.
Occasion : Last outing of the year. Farewell outing for Dan, Meng and Shane who are going for NS this Saturday.

So yeah the day started out with me arriving fashionably late. XD Erm, I seldom go to TS sooooo I was really lost in there. Called up Fei and he brought me to the bowling arena where I found everyone already there and bowling. Or more precisely, I saw Juls and her "friend" Benny bowling one on one and Kess, Shane and Ian bowling on another lane. The best part? HAHA.

Note that they played the same number of rounds that Fei, Josh, Chan and I played that day. HAHA and note that I beat all of them. X3 Match the initials to the people yourself. This is Shane's, Kess's, and Ian's scoreboard. MUAHAHAHAHA.

Then our movie started at 12. So as you can imagine I didn't have the time to bowl. Only got there around.. 11.15? We watched the long awaited Sherlock Holmes baby! It was entertaining enough - funny as hell. Holmes and Watson are SO GAY they just don't know it! Nik and I were thinking awwwwww why can't they just get over themselves and admit they're gay already! HAHA.

After movie photo. =D Why only three of us? WELL. Cause Juls ditched us. Why? Because her "friend" was around. No, I'm serious. She literally walked off with him and Yee Ming and half of the outing gang. Owh well.

Then it was lunch at Papa John's. Juls' half of the outing gang which consisted of her, Benny, Yee Ming, Shane, Ian and Kess went off themselves to Papa John first actually while we were waiting for Fei, Haseef, Faisal and Chi Hoe to get out of the toilet. When we got to Papa John's, we saw them sitting comfortably inside the restaurant and there were no seats for us =_= I mean literally. The restaurant was full. But anyway after 10 minutes, they cleared a table for us though it was far apart from Juls' table. Owh well.

I like this photo :D We look happy! <3>

Our side of the outing gang. Lols.

Had to take a photo of this, cause I absolutely loathe jalapeno peppers. Of all sorts.

The last pizza that nobody wanted until Faisal took it. Poor pizzaaa ;(

So after lunch, Juls' half of the outing gang went off by themselves again. =_= WIthout telling us. SIGH JULS. SIGH. :( So we decided to head to the arcade and bumped into them again. Lol.

Nik and I played this CRAZY japanese game that we had zero understanding of. I mean we honestly didn't know what the hell we were supposed to do and we kept hitting blindly at the screen with those phone-like thingies you see us holding. It was HILARIOUS. HAHAHA.

So the funny part is that there's this weird cute white thingy speaking Japanese to us [probably giving instructions but since we sure as hell don't understand Jap...] We got SOOOO frustrated we started ATTACKING it. AHHAHAH.

AND SEE WHAT HAPPENED AHHAHAHAHAHAH FUNNY SHIT MAN.

Dan and Haseef in an intense game of air hockey. I told you Haseef. The key to winning air hockey is to be GANAS! ;D

Had to go about 4.30 p.m. Wanted to avoid the traffic. Ee Von said Ken Xhen wanted Krispy Kremeee and it just so happened that Fei had to buy donuts for his family too. So I went and hunt for Shane to say bye. Hahaaa.

Our last photo for the next 3 months >.<

And took a group photo. Yayy! Unfortunately Ian went home already.

Thanks Jet for taking the photo :D We have big heads. I jaga him today okay :p

All in all, a good day! Entertaining, at the very least! Hahahaaaa.
Meng, Shane and Dan, take care okaaayyss. Dan, remember to wash your undies! PROPERLY. You don't want scum on your undies do ya! ;D And Fei, if I don't see you before you leave for UK, take care of yourself too. And take care of Chin. Don't be ber-gay-gay-an in UK. Play SAFE . God be with you. =]

Okay you may have realised this post is exceptionally elaborate and detailed. Well it's for you and Kye Li, MEL so appreciate! :D

Lim Poi Yin, when you read this, know that I want to kill you for not telling me you're back from Egypt. Hmph and DOUBLE HMPH!

Honestly, I'm hell lots tired of caring about the screwed up affairs of this place. I've spent way too long caring way too much and yet, you consider that wrong. Is it not my duty to care? Is it not my duty to do my best for this messed up institution? Other teenagers my age have it normal. I don't. I never did.

You always think you're right. You always think that nothing anyone does now will make up for what they did to you in the past. Well, guess what. You're the only one holding on to this grudge. And you're going to take it with you right to the grave.
Stop slamming the damned doors. You're not making any better a statement.

And somehow you people take my care for granted.

It's funny you know. Why does it seem that the closer I try to get to God, the worse things become?

So, after an hour of searching high and low (not literally though), I settled on this blog template. Still thinking whether or not to keep it. Votes, people? Cbox. And oh yes, tag me if you want to be linked. :) As usual, the link list disappears every time I change the template.

Currently not so happy. I'm dreading the new year and I'm already beginning to feel distanced from everyone. Where are you guys? When's our next outing? :(

:( 5 alpha. :(

It's Christmas today, and I just wanted to share this story with all my readers. My aunt told it to us last night at our first potluck dinner. I might post up photos later, and I might not. See my mood? ;)

So, everyone should know that Christmas is not about Santa Claus or Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer and kissing under mistletoe. Truth to be told, I don't even know how these came about. Hahaha. But ah well.

So have ya? This book has 5 pages and uses nothing but colours to tell its meaningful story. There are no words, and no pictures. Just colours.

The colour gold represents the kingdom of heaven. Because everything in heaven is said to be made out of gold; even the streets and it is the most beautiful place one will ever see. Through the colour gold, God reminds us of the riches that await us in heaven and how much He wants all of us - every human and every being He has created - to go to heaven, no matter what race, culture, and skin colour. But there is something that keeps us from heaven and that is..

Black.

.. sin. When you see black, what enters your mind in significance? Evil? Darkness? Yeah, that's right. Black represents the darkness of sin that we as people often commit both knowingly and unknowingly. God is often upset with those who sin against Him and these people are often denied access to heaven and that is why..

Red.

.. He sent His only son to die for us on the cross. Yes, red represents the blood of Jesus, who was born on this very day! Christmas Day! Jesus died on the cross for everyone, and I mean everyone in the world. Jesus's death on the cross marked the cleansing of our sins. And we were born again.

White.

White represents purity. After Jesus died on the cross for us, we are as "clean" as this white page for all our sins, no matter how bad and evil, have been forgiven by God!

Green.

The last colour is green. Green represents life and growth - just like how green plants grow. Once our sins have been washed away, we can learn to grow in God's eyes and live our lives meaningfully. We're reborn!

And that is exactly why all Christmas decorations centralize around the colours of red and green! =D

So having told you guys the most powerful and important story of Christmas, I hope everyone now knows the true meaning of Christmas and learns to appreciate it!

Having said that,

have a jolly good CHRISTMAS everyone!
=D

I'm goiingg for dimsum lunch now. Ehehe XD

For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son; so that whosoever that believes in him shall not perish; but have everlasting life.

Okay you know what, I haven't bitch-blogged in a long time.. wait, scratch that. I've never actually bitch-blogged before but I'M GONNA DO IT NOW.

Went for a haircut. Sooo guess what. My sister and I told the "beautiful lovely" hairdresser to cut my hair two inches shorter. You know how much is two inches?
Here :

-guiguiggogogpigogogogogogogoggog -

From that first dash to the second dash. Not much right?
BUT GUESS WHAT. IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S AT LEAST THREE INCHES SHORTER.

NEXT. We also told her not to cut it so thiiin. Told her niceeeely not to thin it so much.
BUT GUESS WHAT. MY HAIR FEELS SO THIN NOW IT'S LIKE THERE'S ALMOST BARELY ANYTHING.
Okay, maybe that's exaggerating. BUT IT'S HOW I FEEL.

Okay, hello miss hairdresser, I know you can't understand ENGLISH, so that's why we spoke Cantonese to youuu. But even in Canto you don't understand us?! I know your haircut sucks la. No need to make other people's hair sucky too!

I want my long, thick hair backkkkk. :(

My ponytail is so short and thing nowww :( it looks like Jenny Humphrey's hair from Gossip Girl Season One, whom by the way, I simply loathe and despise cause she's such a wanna-be. GAHH.

I'm gonna tie my freaking hair everyday I go out from now on =_=
I thought people were supposed to look better after SPM :(

Yeah yeah, maybe you think it's fine. But it's NOTTT. So there! You might be getting annoyed at me. But give me a break. I'm not usually like this and my hair matters to me a lotttt :(

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Eh yo! This is my 500th post! Lol yay for meee and my bloggieeee. Anyways, I got a lot to blog bout. Okay, so Ee Von came home last Tuesday night. She brought back lots of UK chocolates that really rooocckk and are a class above any other Malaysian chocolate I've ever eaten. I'm so afraid I'm gonna get fat eating them :(

Okay so the next day we went out to Mid Valley so she could satisfy her craving for Thai food.

She bought me this Billabong bagg :D

The famous super-hot-and-spicy tom yam noodles at Flying Chiilies in Gardens. Gotta say though. It's gooooood :D

Was kinda having a sorethroat that day.. so imagine my agony. HAHA.

Hahha yay for us

Okay nexttt, prom! Went to the saloon early at about 4 thirty pm to get my hair and makeup done. I gotta admit, I kinda had butterflies in my tummy the night before cause high school prom was something that we all had anticipated ever since stepping into secondary school. And it was finally here and finally over :S

Retarded yo!

My fancy hairdo.

Pose for the camera!

Fire breathers! It was cool!

And the "dancing". Really, everyone just jumped up and down to One Buck Short and Altimet. Lol. I joined for a while when One Buck Short was performing until the SJI guys started pushing around hard and I realised my hairdo was too fragile to be rammed into and my dress was too long for jumping. Hhahaha.

Eh yo, I finally taller than Chin! :D

Michelle and Xinyi!

And so we twirled around like retards. Was my idea!

I am still amazed at how decent this photo turned out lyra. ahhaa

Sistersss wheee (sorry hyper)

The 14 pins in my hair that night.

Polaroid courtesy of Chiong who blinked :p

Overall lessons from prom :
1. Fancy hairdos are painful. No pain, no gain!
2. Professional makeup sessions make your eyes water.
3. Fancy hairdos and professional makeup are expensive.
4. I love my straight hair. Love love love love. No perms for me.
5. Professional makeup shadows your topaz brown coloured contact lenses. Hahaa.

Okay, Genting.

I SAW LAM FUNGGG AHAHHAAAA. Okay I've told the story so many times I don't feel like talking bout it again. Lolsss. All ya need to know is I passed by him and was like barely 2 meters away from him and he was staying on the same floor as us! :D

Ee Vooonnn. Don't tell her I think she looks pretty in this photo >.<

Yesshh now you see the topaz brown eyes :D

My bubble bath and the tv!

Okay done with this post. Yay.

Soooo, Avatar, Storm Warriors or Bodyguards and Assassins?

Hahaha, I would say prom at Nikko Hotel was pretty awesome. :) I never had high expectations of things and I guess that's what makes me easily contented. Yeah, prom is always overrated. But I enjoyed myself. Great job to the committee by the way!

And yeah, that's me in the middle. Hahahha it was fun twirling around and taking photos :D

More photos will be up when I get back from Genting. :) Yeah, I'm going agaaiin.

That I wondered about this. Okay, let me lay it out for you so you can get the picture too. You know those few certain people in your life who seem to be just so special? So perfect? That one or two people who just seem to excel at everything they do and never once seem to fail at anything? Yeah, so recent events got me wondering; what is it like to be these people?

I mean, they never fail at ANYTHING. They seem to be good at everything they do. People like them, they can lead. They apply for this, they get it. They try out for this, they get it. Just what is it like to be so perfect? To have never, ever, faced failure?

Wow. Lucky gits eh.

I am feeling really HAPPY.

Why?

EE VON'S HOMEEEE. Hahahahhaa. We just went out to Mid Valley and did lots of shopping. The Jusco sale was MAD, I tell you. Worse than China. =s There were loudspeakers in the place and the sales people were yelling for everyone to check out the stuff. It's not normal. Not normal I tell you!

And I got coloured contacts too. XD Couldn't help bursting out laughing when I saw my reflection in the mirror cause my eyes reminded me of Japanese anime. I looked like some kind of anime out of manga. HAHA.

ANDDDD Nancy Drew has finally finished downloading! Time to go figure out how to work it. =s

You know there was once I mentioned the term fling to Yin and she said she hates that word. And guess what. Although the word held much of a better meaning when I was feeling heartbroken, right now, it sounds plain stupid. I mean, why do people do flings anyway? To me, these people are just plain self-centred because they KNOW that they're gonna hurt the people they have their "flings" with. I mean fineeee laaa, flirt all you want, get all the stupid attention you need. But there's always a certain limit to everything one does. And if someone crosses this limit, feelings can get trodded upon and people get hurt. Or have these people forgotten that their "flings" are human too? That they too can cry themselves to sleep and for maybe, the first time in their lives, feel suicidal?

I understand that you MAY be feeling heartbroken and therefore go around looking for flings to make yourself feel better. By all means, go right ahead. But like I said, LIMITS. I mean. Why start a sort-of-relationship, make someone fall in love with you, and in the end, when you realise you don't need the fling anymore, dump him/her because the whole thing is starting to make you feel uncomfortable, and end up hurting yourself AND the fling? It'll be like a stage where you care for him/her, but you don't care enough.

Okay, I'm done now :D Phew. Time to change my header!

and saw none of the Geminid meteors. There was supposed to be a massive shower last night and so I waited looking up at the night skies until my neck hurt.. But I didn't see any. In the end, Mum yelled at me to lock the front door. At 2 a.m., I looked out my room window and still saw nothing. Maybe it was God's way of telling me what I had been wishing for was never to come true. That it wasn't meant to be. Cause if I had seen a meteor that night, I would have wished for the very same thing I wished for so long ago.

Okaaayy, back to real business. So where I have been recently? Been pokering with my two younger cousins and my brat brother. [speaking of which, I am damn pissed at right now for literally stealing the desktop from me so now I'm dead bored cause I can't play L4D] Got lucky the first night. Won every single chip there was to be won. Left my cousins and BRAT brother flabbergasted. XD

So over the weekend, we had a short holiday in...
Yeah, you guessed right.
Genting. Stayed in that super suite again. :D Brought one of my cousins.

The cousin.Yeah my BRAT brother is seriously good-for-nothing.

Suiteeeee.

A rose in the bathroom. I was fascinated by how lovely it bloomed.

Somemore of the crap available in the suite. ahaha.

Heh. I need a haircut.

Today pulak went out with Nik. Hadn't seen her in ageeeess. Walked around MidValley like soooo many times. I think we travelled up and down the escalator almost 6 times from the top floor to the bottom and back again.

Carl's Jr for lunch and the portion was sooooo large that we sneaked into the cinema to continue eating XD

Watched Zombieland and Josh, Fei, it is SERIOUSLY like the MOVIE version of L4D. I am serious. Hahaha. Also bumped into Xinyi and frieeendd while walking around. Ehehe.

Ee Von's coming home tomorrow. =]
