A wise man once said...or was it me? Ah wtv. A wise man once said that only slaves can truly appreciate the meaning of freedom. And I could not agree any better. The exams cut short basically ANY form of entertainment I had. I promised to myself usually during these kind of times, "After the exams, I'm gonna make the best out of my time. I'll spend it with friends, write more pages to my novel, and study abit."
And once the exam is REALLY over, I'd find myself sleeping everyday, occasionally waking for for a round or two of dotA. Sigh.
Well, least I didn't spend the first day of this short freedom in vain. Li Ching, Ben, Colin and Boon Heng spent the day with me at Sunway to watch Final Destination 3. It was a good movie really, except that my right shoulder still hurts from Li Ching's pressing against it whenever someone is about to die. =.= Some yumcha at Coffee Bean, did abit of shopping myself(pics later), and we checked out a car-mod competition. Surprisingly, the host of MTV's Pimp My Ride "Big Dane"(damn. he's huge) was present to judge the cars. More pics then too.
Watch Casanova with my parents that same night too. And to be honest, I prefered it from FD3. The movie's very funny, and I find myself laughing silly most of the times.
Anyway, some pics of the stuff I bought.
I finally get to read Dan Brown's the Da Vinci Code, though I MUST say I'm very dissapointed with the cover. Too many facts and quotes from book critics. It looks like a Microsoft Packaging. Hope the book content won't let me down, at least =/
This month's PC Gamer Malaysia. =) Lara Croft is back. Hope it's not as shitty as the last title, "Angel of Death." Fucking cheesy title. But still... Lara! *squee*. Yes, laugh at us gamers. We go goo-goo over shapely pixels. =)
I bought two new pieces from BodyGlove(oh shut up):
A greyish shirt. My mom asked me to stop buying black ones. Tempted to, but didn't in the end.
And a new pair of jeans =) I'm going through a Denim phase, k? One thing I love about BG is that the second item is ALWAYS 50% off. So I got this jeans for Rm65 which was originally Rm130.
I also bought a scrunchy. I plan to wear it to school after the holidays.
As if. I found it in my bag once I reached home. Li Ching left it in there. =p
Pics from the car exhibition:
I didn't know Mei Yoong bought her own domain. PLUS, getting McDonald's to advertise for her =p
The hottest couple at the moment. I call the pairing... Booching! Or LiHeng? or Chua Boon Ching? Tan Li Heng? They shared a shake at Coffee Bean, so I decided to take this sweet pic =)
Sunway Hotel's fabulous toilets. I'm a toilet reviewer, didn't you know?
Aightz...that's about all I did today. The next 8 days are prolly gonna be about nothing but sleep...dotA...sleep...dotA... and then some.
Kudos =) Btw, I didn't watermark THESE pictures with my signature url cos I doubt anyone would use them. I think =/
Subang has been hit by probly the worst storm that I've ever seen. It's weak, but it's my worst =p
About 3pm yesterday, the storm caused a power cut that lasted all the way till 3am, forcing me to study by candlenight T_T...
Anyway, Colin called and said that school might not open tomorrow(today) since it was flooded. I replied, "Hello, I live just down the school. Where got flood?"
Buttttt... from the ways the houses around my house were damaged, I suspected that alot of juicy pictures could be taken at SMKSU.
And true enough, there was.
Situated just outside the lower gate, was a pondok's roof. o.0 And from there, I knew bringing my cam that day wasn't a wasted effort.
Taman Gemilang turned into Taman Muram...
Broken rubble of our pondok. Now newly named, "Pondok Lego."
Shocked students of SMKSU.
Hmm? What happened to a strip of Dewan Berbumbung's wall?
...whoa. Luckily, no one was hurt from that. I touched it, and the thing is ROCK solid. Scary how the wind could do this to it.
The football field ravaged. Jo might be abit happy, cos now there's a big 7 on it.
Another shocked student. Terribly potrayed, though.
There wasn't much damage to the Flora area...but I can't help think that something's amiss.
Ah, that's what. The goal post, flattened.
I changed my camera settings, and the pictures from hereforth should should clearer and sharper.
Sharper pic of Taman Muram.
I call it...the Leaning Tower of Fern. Predictably, this is how she'll be like in 40 years. Bongkok. =D
The inside of our Dewan doesn't seem damaged, besides that strip of wall.
Roof tiles blown away. I heard from someone that the afternoon session peepz were having the time of their lives because it felt like they were in a part of a disaster movie. Chairs flying out of windows...etc etc. You know how kidz exxagerate. But Py's blog said someone was...electrocuted. Knowing how kei po our school is, it's strange that I didn't even hear it ONCE in school today. o.0
The form 5's were relocated from their ravaged classes( =( ) to the lower classes which weren't affected by the storm. Much.
Sunroof!
Flood in 5 Kappa! =D I'm easily amused.
MmM... I like this pic.
Taking pictures of disasters started to get boring, so I captured close up pics of people's eyes instead. =) I'm weird.
This is Iffah's eye. It looks very exotic, which Nab explained to me was because Iffah had Arabic blood. Ooooh... It's also scary, because it reminds me of Pn. Asmahan's eyes.
Zakhren's british eye. Classy.
This is Colin's eye. If it wasn't because I remembered that his was just after Zak's, I wouldn't even know it belonged to him. Shaved your eyebrows recently, Ooi Hong?
Boon Heng's eye. I keep telling him he looks like Jin Kazuya from Tekken Tag(Ps2).
By far the prettiest eye I took. There's not a trace of eyebags, a wirinkle, or even a mole. This eye belongs to Stephanie Tiah. ^_^ The fact that her eye is so clear(or maybe cos it's under the sun) gave this pic a really COOL effect. Check out the black of her eye, and you can see me with the cam.
Sigh. I, on the otherhand, have slits for eyes. Sepet. T_T
Pontenging is gonna be sooooo much easier. If Puan Wu or Puan Susela looks for you, just jump into the fallen trees. Our pants should be able to camouflage in it.
I started to notice how BIG the pondok's bumbung was after school...
Which is why I used Albert as a model for comparing the sizes, having tricked him into thinking it's for modelling, and that people really want to see his picture.
Go go Bert!!!
More coverage on the Storm can be read at Pei Yi and Boon Heng's blog.
MAKE sure you comment before going there first, though >=( Spent 2 hours on this post.
Bandwith costs money, and my abuse of shutterfly.com has finally come to an end. If you look at the previous posts, you can see that they are now ALL with faulty images that wont load.The printing website finally ceased all hotlinking, meaning my entire blog has been utterly destroyed(same goes to my sis, who is pulling her hair out now).
Guess I'm moving to Photobucket.
Because Photobucket does not provide a good resizing, I had to resize this picture myself to test it out.
You'll realize that I've decided to start 'watermarking' my pictures with luzzio.blogdrive.com. I initially wanted to copy http://pigtitude.blogspot.com and use a white cursive font, but prefered to be instead a little more unique and went for a little more...erm...well...it's hard to explain. But I kinda like it.
The original size of this picture was 1600x1200 at 796kb. Now, it's 470x353 at only 43kb. Not bad, eh? The problem with Photobucket is that there will be bandwith limits. My blog isn't exactly popular so there's not much of a threat there, yet sometimes for e.g. during the weekends when alot of people are online, it MIGHT exceed, giving an ugly "BANDWITH EXCEEDED" picture instead.
So from now on, posting pictures on this blog will mean at least three times the work, with an addition of resizing and watermarking. Dang.
Here are two more samples:
As much as I love photography and blogging, it's starting to become a hassle.
*Back to studying*
EDIT: Shit. I just realized the pictures are more than 200kb each. No high quality pics then. *sigh* Do I REALLY have to move to blogger? =(
A friend of mine came to me one day saying that when a friend of her's GOOGLED "SMKSU PORN"(don't ask), they found something that linked to something about her that I uploaded for my blog. Even though the THING I uploaded was FAR from being pornographic material, my friend didn't feel comfortable about it and asked to delete it. So I did. I searched SMKSU PORN on Google again, and found that there wasn't any websites linking to my file with the words "SMKSU PORN"
What I suspect was that when SMKSU%PORN was searched in Google, the engine basically searched SMKSU and PORN. And since some of my files have the keyword SMKSU in it, and have quite a number of hits compared to most SMKSU files, that's probly why it came out. Sigh, such a waste of bandwith.
Anywho, speaking of SMKSU, there are two websites related to our beloved school that have tweaked my interest. First, of course, is to see the voting polls for Gemala's website http://fiftyxfifty.tk up again, so we can all spam our own names =/
And just a few days ago, Claire tagged my board with a link to http://smksu.com. The flash teaser, tho simple, looks cool and promising(like some fashion show). Whether it's another crappy site or a promising one, we'll just have to wait, won't we? I'm not even sure if it's an official school website.
Colin did some searching around, and found out that the creator's someone named Lim Lay Chuan, and the website is based in SINGAPORE.
If there's something I hate more than flamers, it's frogs.
Especially crazy frog. Axel 5 was SOOOO mainstream at one point that anyone who listened to it was deemed "Retard". Eh...look below the frog's belly. Holy shit, it's got a penis.
Anyway, 5 Sigma will be disecting FROGS tomorrow. Green, slimy, yucky frogs. Ech. I'm sorry, I KNOW every creature is special, but I JUST CANT STAND ANYTHING THAT'S SLIMY. I wreak at the thought of holding something like it on the palm of my hands. Basically, I'm afraid of insects(my worst case being having a rhino beetle on my head in Frazer's), and frogs(where in primary school, a boy stepped hard on a live toad, causing it's guts to blast out of it's mouth. Eyes popped. ew T_T).
=(((((((((( howwww/?????? I might faint tomorrow.
And killing anything bigger than the size of my thumb is a no-no for me =(
My parents often use her as a 'good example'. Like how my mom always says "Che che wouldn't do something like that. Che che would be more tactful. Che che this... che che that."
And really, I don't see any reason why they shouldn't.
She had 3 best friends during her very small years. I had none, and the only people I played with outside of the school, were hers.
She's a PTS, and I'm not. On top of that, she got ALL A's for UPSR and ALL A's for PMR. I got 4A's 1B, and 5A's 2B's.
She's popular among her friends, leads a happening life of outtings. I'm not, and dont.
She was in the school volleyball team, and a part of her time's 'volleyball gang', besides being an Interact Secretary.
I was never good at sports, and only had one year of post as Club Service Director.
She's got a steady boyfriend, despite it being a long distance relationship. I'm still confused with my own feelings for someone, even if that person will never like me.
She's likable, charming, and fun to be with. I'm disliked, moody, and boring.
And on top of all that, her blog has reached it's 100000th unique visitor, and my dad said she's going to be writing for The Star, and PAID, too.
