HOME SWEET HOME

Home at last. After 4 days of being stuck in Bali, I'm so glad I'm back. To tell the truth, I didn't particulary enjoy this trip. First I have to be stuck in a dumb plane for 4 hours because we only found out about the delay AFTER everybody boarded the plane. And then our so called 3 star accomodation turned out to be like negative 3 star. We had to switch hotels because nobody wanted to stay in the hotel. Then a walk on the street with shops that are extremely dusty and that set my nose off. Then the prices of the stuff are sky high and I ended up not buying anything that day.

I did remember to buy stuff for my friends of course. I'll give it to you girls when I see you. Uhm...okay I did forget someone but it's not my friends. I forgot to include my cousins. So my cousins won't get pretty stuff like my friends do but it's not really bad.

I met an Australian tour guide who was on holiday. She didn't like Bali and can't say I blame her. She told me she wanted to go home the first day she arrived at Bali, just like I did. She gave us some tips on how to avoid being mobbed by people who sell stuff on the streets.

Kuta beach sucks. The beach is filthy and we can't swim there. Nusa Dua beach is pretty. I went jet skiing and I got to drive a jet ski! WOOHOOO! My dad was sitting behind me and he kept shouting in my ear "SLOW DOWN!" cause I gunned the motor and went speeding across the sea. Wakakakaka. I loved the speed. It was fabulous. My sister won't go on it. She went shell collecting. That was the only thing I liked about my trip. That and kite shopping. Oh, and I suppose talking to someone else from other countries as well.

My Busy Hols

Tomorrow I'll be going to Bali after months of waiting. My whole holiday is packed with activities. I can't believe I dont really have much time left for doing whatever I wish this holiday. I'll be in Bali from tomorrow till the 25th. Then I'll probably be off to Thailand on the 27th till the 28th. Then comes the movie session with Esther on the 1st. Then Pangkor trip on the 11th till the 13th. Then a gathering on the 22nd. Then there probably will be another Christmas party held by my mother's childhood friend, whose kids are my childhood friends. Then a dinner on the 27th, so I'll be gone from 26th till 28th. Then results come out and ba-da-bing comes the year 2010. School starts. In between all this, there could still be some other activities such as British Council year end term and Vero's little party. OH WHAT A BUSY HOLIDAY!

SPM Student

so in year 2010, I'll officially be an advanced student in British Council. Finally, I will be a SPM student...but what about IELTS? I wanna take it!

Can you believe my luck when I found out that out of my usual group, only ME and Valerie got into SPM class?? Valerie will be form 5 next year anyway. The others are going to some class I've never heard before. YA-UI. Lucky Jia Yi is going to SPM class with me or I'll be lonesome...

I hope I get a certificate this year. I have to talk to Tom and ask if I can get the report and certificate-if got-earlier since I won't be in KL for the final lesson of the year. Sad, cannot be with those wacky gals... :( Can I not go to Pangkor? Since I don't want to meet those two damn 'beaches'. Plus I've already been there once and I DIDN'T LIKE IT THERE.

Last day of Form 3; Last day of 3B 2009

Goodbye to Form 3! I LOVE YA ALL, 3 BERDIKARIANS!!!!! Vero, Li Ann, E Xuan, Celia, Sarah, Asther, Anis, Madiha and Peh See, I love you guys too! All of you contributed in making my Form 3 year happy and fun. I will be counting on you lot in making my remaining school years interesting and fun as well.

I didn't realize that my Geo group had won in the competition. I am so happy and surprised. Taman Sains got 2 hampers!!! We split up the snacks and the whole Bilik Pameran turned into a Picnic Haven.

Celia said she was glad that school ended because she don't have to see the teachers' faces anymore. But I pity the librarians since they have to go to school just for stock-checking. Poor Vero, Shakthy, Jia Yi, Jasmine and other Form 3 librarians...

3 Berdikari of 2009 has officially disbanded. Next year, we'll all be split into different classes depending on our results and choice of subjects. I sure will miss the all-girls class fun we had this year.

12 Nov 2009, Thursday

School holidays for us Form 3 is starting next week. Oh HELLO FREEDOM! Tomorrow, I will be helping teacher carry hampers. -.- Silly job right? But since the teacher asked, we can't exactly say no.

Today, I found out that Peh See and Skye enjoy singing Love Story by Taylor Swift. They started singing when me, Wen Yi and the two of them were playing UNO. Turns out Wen Yi has a Love Story phobia because of that. Even I got a leetle bit phobic after 2 hours of continuous Love Story. Especially the part:

Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said
Marry me Juliet you never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes

OMG, just that part drives me crazy. They can't stop singing it. And for some reason, Wen Yi kept winning when they sing it! Then Peh See started to sing-sort of-You Belong With Me by the same singer. Then she claimed that Skye belongs with her. o.o

We kept playing from 9 am to 1 pm. Sitting in the Bilik Pameran with the air-cond on. Plus, we were also directly under a fan. Brrr. Freezing. Then Peh See had 'bladder problems' and had to keep going to the washroom. Actually, the point was to ponteng the Win, Lose or Draw game by Cik Sri Devi cause the teacher just hosted the game and talked and talked and talked. I only went once with Wen Yi, but that was after the game session and I really needed to go.

We went home at 1.10 pm. But then pumpkin stoped me and Wen Yi and Skye as well as some other students. Her alasan was that we sering ponteng. Which I am totally innocent because my attendance record was almost flawless! Then turns out that pumpkin just needed some students to clean up the Bilik Pameran! Which was totally pointless since it was spotless...

Wahaha...my class has a very nice attendance. No sarcasm. Seriously, we had more than half of the class coming everyday! We practically won the other classes except the Solihin class. That class has nearly full attendance EVERYDAY. Really rajin, those lot.

Vero and the gang. You better come tomorrow. It's the last day of school and I want to see you guys. I get to see Anis and Sarah a lot since they are so hardworking-nope. No sarcasm there-and I practically attend almost everyday. Ah well, I'm turning really blabby right now. Gotta stop ASAP.

Form 3 to Form 4

Form 3 is coming to an end. For some reason, I feel sort of down about this. To think that we'll be a year older and might be forced to face some decisions that might be hard to make. Time sure flies, doesn't it?

Some of my friends will be transfering and I won't get to see them anymore. It would be different if they are staying in KL, but all of them are going to be outstation. I hate to say goodbye to my friends, the same thing I did when I was forced to leave my childhood days behind me. I do hope we'll all stay in touch.

Esther Tang, since quite a number of students will be transfering, I guess your chances of getting admitted will be higher, won't it? Now that's something to look forward to. I could be saying adieu to some, but at the same time, I could be saying hello again to a wonderful friend of mine.

Form 4 might be hard, but if I have my group of fun-loving and wacky friends, I think I can endure the pressure of studying. After all, friends stay by each other's side, no matter what happens and no matter when as well. Even if someone needs someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on, friends are always the best choice to share your feelings with ( though I don't think anger and fury counts).
