there are no words that i can say to describe my feelings when i saw dudek block shevchenko's penalty shot...when i saw the joy and disbelief on each and every one of their faces...when i saw gerrard lift the beautiful cup...

LIVERPOOL FC...CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE!!!!!!!!!

oh my god this could possibly be the happiest day of my life! i had high hopes that we would win but when we conceded the 3 goals in the 1st half, part of me almost went with the billions out there in the world who were watching the match, who thought that liverpool had virtually zero chance of coming back. practically everyone was writing them off already but i knew there was still a tiny glimer of hope that we could change our fate. and we did! what a comeback! what a header from gerrard! it really gave the boys hope and confidence that they could do it, and a few minutes later, voila...3-3! by then i was pratically at the edge of my seat, biting my fingernails. and oh my god my heart was beating so fast during the penalty shoot out...i'd never been so nervous in my entire life. and when dudek block shevchenko's shot, the feeling was...undescribable! i was jumping about trying to stop myself from screaming coz the rest of the house was still sleeping but i juz couldnt...it was magical...

and check this out, this was what one of the Liverpool fans' banner said:
No small toffees for feast tonight
Kopites party with Turkish delight
Jose, Sir Alex... London press
All choking on sweet success
Money, not love, is your drive
But tell us... Can you count to five?
hahahaha...

hiash...i went straight to sleep after that. i wanted to celebrate some more but i was damn tired. i didnt get any sleep before that. i had a day camp from 9-5pm in school. it was fun but so physically exhausting. my wwhole body is now aching coz we did lots of weight-lifting, human weight-lifting. had to carry my classmates over a web thingy...bleargh. then after that i went to wan jie's house to freshen up coz she lives right next to school...damn her...the both of us went to watch CAMELOT with fazli and mei jian. as much as i hate to admit it, the musical was good. and i mean really really really good. each and everyone of the actors spoke perfect Queen's English, the acting was splendid, the costumes and sets and props were absolutely fab...and the guy who played arthur was sooooo cute! the guy who played lancelot was hot...and there were lots of eye-candy amongst the audience...and their tickets were very professional looking. oh but there was a costume screw-up. hahaha, yay! a flaw, wahahaha...and it was a tad too long, 2 and 1/2 hrs! oh i didnt get to see hazri dance coz i had such a bad seat, i only saw him walk on stage with a long stick thingy, he stood for a while, then he walked off...hahaha, great job anyway darling. good luck with your remaining performances. =D

oh well. gotta go improve my general knowledge for tmr's NE quiz...great...

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, MY FRIENDS...

heya.

i was just reading an article on blogging. here's a small extract from the article:

As the pool of blog writers has grown, perhaps inevitably so have complaints about quality. It's true that some bloggers seem to feel the need to log every sneeze.
But even drivel has its readership, Fake says. "Sure there are a hundred teenage boys typing, 'I'm bored. School sucks' every three hours, but their friends read them -- and that's their intended audience."
And not everyone is a natural-born blogger.
"It takes a specific set of skills: self-expression, the desire to connect with other people and a certain chutzpah," says consultant Amy Jo Kim, author of "Community Building on the Web: Secret Strategies for Successful Online Communities" .
"The people who do the really good Web logs edit."

what makes a good blog? i guess majority would consider a blog where the blogger expresses his intelligent views and opinions on a very deep topic like philosophy or politics as a GOOD blog. perhaps. but it's not fair to say that the lot of us, who blog about issues like what happened on the bus today or what that bitch in school did yesterday, are bad bloggers right? i mean do people really need a "specific set of skills" to say what's on their minds? where's the freedom of speech when people begin to judge whether you're a good blogger or not?

or maybe i'm just trying to make myself feel better by standing up for the trivial and mundane stuff that i post on my blog... =)

i went back to anderson on friday...met nani at amk station after french then we happily caught up with the latest gossip as we took our own sweet time walking to anderson. gossip sessions with nani are simply precious. i laugh so much when i'm with her. we were late. we actually got lost coz the building was new and we had to make one whole round around the school just to get to the hall. but the GOH was still giving his speech. i think his speech was like 40mins long. dont these people ever shut up? anw, throughout the concert me and nani were wondering where anderson got all the money for the nice sets and lights and effects from. we never had such nice stuff when we were there. but ooooooh, the malay dance was damn nice. i'm soooo proud of them. and their costumes were sooo gorgeous! damn i'm jealous. it was nice to see all the teachers again, mr chye, mr yu...even asnah! and mr kwok was there too (sharini, he says the costumes for Oz were nice...yay!)...

ooooh i went to watch star wars episode 3 on saturday...i was planning to go watch with my friends but i couldnt resist a free ticket...sorry guys...i dont think i've ever cried so much for a star wars movie. partly because of the extremely heart-breaking scenes and partly because it was THE END. but i my favourite episode is still return of the jedi. LOVE IT! i thought attack of the clones was the worst. the way they presented the love story between anakin and padme was abosolutely disgusting.

i'm skipping camp tmr coz of a performance at the woodlands library...GOD HELP US, REALLY...PLEASE!!!

i need to find a paperbag...

ok so i'm in the school library now with jx. doing nothing remotely related to school work. what's new? i have got to stop slacking if i ever want to scrape through my mid-yrs and promos. i totally dont get maths. and malay, well, i really dont know how to go about answering my sastera qns but my teacher seems to think that i do. that worries me. as for eng lit, with teachers like mine, i can kiss my As goodbye. it doesnt help that nanyang seems to support mediocracy. and it doesnt help that almost everyone in nanyang seems to accept it. was i wrong in chosing to come here? no. i'm loving it here. =)

i think i'm going for bahas. i'm having mixed feelings about it. i mean i'd love to experience it but i dont think i have the confidence for debate. i dunno, there's just something about public speaking that scares the shit out of me. it's weird coz i dont mind acting and dancing on stage. but when it comes to directly speaking to an audience, i freeze. i guess with acting and dancing, i'm lost in a world of my own, my mind is not on the fact that there are people watching me, maybe it is, but only a little. that's one thing i hate about myself, the lack of confidence. it affects my realtionship with certain people, confident people, people who aren't afraid of what others think of them. it's these people i want to learn from. but i havent been able to.

oh well, enough of self pity. really, i've got to stop feeling sorry for myself and actually DO SOMETHING! off to skip PW lecture. =)

fare thee well.

i cant seem to tag on ppl's blogs. everytime i tag this msg 'cookies deactivated?' appears instead of my msg. i have adjusted my cookies. i still cant tag. this is disturbing me to no end. why, WHY is this happening to me???

today was quite fun. i had to go to sch in the morning for english make-up lessons which wasnt fruitful at all but it was fun at the end because we got to watch a controversial movie with vulgarities and sexual references. we quietly watched and did not giggle and make immature comments about them. oh wait who am i kidding, of course we did. get a life...or better yet, get a brain...

after that i went to j8 with some of my classmates. we were supposed to discuss our GPP but we ended taking neoprints, having lunch and shopping. what's new right? then i went back to school to help out with the reception for college day. i think it is safe to say that the highlight of the whole college day was indeed, the reception. a funeral mass would have been more lively than what i saw juz now before the guests were invited to have some refreshments. me, nadia, sharini, rhadiah and fatein were in charge of serving the muslim food.

actually kan, sekolah kiter ni memang sial, nak cater makanan tu apesal tak boleh cater makanan halal? satu hari tak makan babi tak boleh ke? nak bezakan pulak. abeh dah gitu bila time reception, si cinonets ni smue nak kebas makanan halal. bagi lah yang muslim makan dulu. kalau tahu makan tu takpe lah. ade ke patut diorang ambik satu pinggan kecik, taruk mee bertimbun-timbun, abeh taruk kueh lopez dengan sirap?

there was this bitch with big boobs that juz got me and the rest of the girls seething. first of all, which parent goes to a school function wearing a cleavage-baring top which showed here humungous boobs everytime she bent down, which was one too often? and she's so selfish! she took 2 pieces of kueh lopez. she ate only half of one piece and came back for more. when she came back, there was only one left which another parent was planning to take. SHE took it instead. then she got ants all over her plate coz of the kueh lopez. she STILL wanted to eat it. and she tried to shoo the ants away, at our table where there was food. like wtf! then she left her cup of tea at our food table. and she spilled it all over the floor. according to rhadiah ms audrey tang didnt look too happy coz she thought we did it. she also left her newspaper at our table. at the end of the whole thing while we were cleaning up she kept walking around and staring at us as we were cleaning, eyeing the left-overs. then we decided to ask her whether she wanted to bring some home. she said she wanted all the kueh. she didnt even give me the chance to bring home the delicious kueh lapis that i wanted! *fumes* i pity her son.

oh but matahari looked uber hot in formal wear! *hyperventilates* nanyang is lacking in eye candy but we definitely have one that is super super hot. i realise i am being extremely bimbotic right now. stop it zu.

heya.

yay yay! *dances ard gleefully* it's friday!

this was one hellish week. first of all i was still tired from drama night. the week started off with MLCS ex-co interview on monday which i thought went horribly wrong for me coz i said quite a few 'i dont know's here and there and the ex-co members were not too happy with that. damn zu. then there was my NAPHA 5 items test on tuesday which sucked too coz i failed standing broad jump and my inclined pull-up. later on i sat for my very 1st maths lecture test which i'm totally going to flunk. wednesday was ok coz of the volleyball finals. but i still ended the day feeling quite foul coz i had my ever increasing pile of homework left in my bag to rot. on thursday i was supposed to do my 2.4 km run but it rained during P.E. i was thrilled for a few minutes but then we got a chance to re-do the 5 items, especially the ones we failed...and i still failed! and juz now i sat for my french test, which again, i am going to flunk. then there's PW which is causing serious damage to my self-esteem coz i feel extremely dumb that i cannot come up with a decent, even remotely creative idea. and tmr i have to go back to school in the morning fo to attend an unbelievably boring 2-hr english tutorial that would juz suck the life out of me by the 1st half hr.

*screams and engages in pillow fight with annoying brother*

ok i feel better now. =) star wars is coming! revenge of the sith! so exciting! 19th of may...let's go watch! any takers?

so i had quite a bit of fun today. school was slack coz we ended at 11.40 so that we could go for the volleyball finals. NYJC girls vs JJC girls and NYJC guys vs TJC guys...our guys won! we won! we beat TJC hands down. it was so cool. the guyz were really good. our girls team didnt win but it was a tight battle lah. brenda was so good. she looked really disappointed at the end, who wouldnt be? but juz chill k girl...you did good.

actually i had more fun cheering than watching the match. me, nadia, rhadiah, sharini and jx screamed like there was no tomorrow. the people sitting around us during the girls' match should be shot down for being so unenthusiastic. it was irritating coz we were almost the only ones making any noise. what's the point of going all the way to the toa payoh sports hall where it was so hot and stuffy and you dont bother to show some support?

we were looking back at our days in anderson juz now. karen and her spot on puns, marion and kwokie saga, rebellious pei rong, adorable mr yu, mr chye, the most lazy yet the best form teacher mdm hasniza....everything! i miss anderson! i neglected my time there, i thought i hated it but now, it seems like it's the best thing that's ever happen to me, or to any other andrsonian for that matter...it was where i made the bestest of friends, it was where i learnt how to live a little...it was where i matured...

all i can do now is hope nanyang will make a difference in my life like how anderson did...

N! *clap* Y! *clap* J...C! *clap clap*

heya!

mummy...it's over! production is overrr!

boo.

Oz was a success. i'm so glad quite a few ppl turned up. we managed to fill up about 3/4 of lt4 for both days so that's a relief. i thought friday was the better performance. aaron was hilarious as late guy/time keeper. everyone loved him. and the singing was great. i'm talking about the actors, let's not even begin to talk about mei jian lah, she sings even better than norah jones...but there were a few hiccups costume wise. heheh. my bad. i made up for it on satuday. but omg yit hahn was way over the top on saturday. but his friends were in the audience and they loved him so that's that. and some of the cast forgot their lines and the sets were a bit off. i guess everyone was nervous coz we were facing a different audience whom we expected to be less supportive and easily amused. hashani looked soooo gorgeous!!! she looked absolutely stunning in her white outfit and hat. so was ravin. i'm so jealous! all in all it was great. congrats drama!

after the whole thing we cleared up the stage and dumped everything backstage. thank god they didnt expect us to clear backstage that night. the costumes were soaking wet by the end of the whole thing, especially fazli's. his costumes were drenched with sweat it's disgusting. eugh. oooh mr seah gave us all stuffed lions. so nice. thanx mr seah and mr seah's wife! we left school ard ten. me and sharini were about to leave for home but desmond persuaded us to tag along to orchard with mei jian, jasmin, ravin, fazli and hasif and co. they wanted to have supper and go watch a movie but nothing good was showing that time. we walked ard for half an hour trying to find a place eat that's actually open. desmond and fazli kept straying away from the group, walking so close to each other and whispering *raises eyebrows*. in the end we settled down at the burger king at orchard cineleisure. by then it was eleven plus already. we ate and talked for almost two hours. it was fun! but i wa getting worried that my dad would be waiting for me at home with a parang coz it was one plus and i still wasnt home yet. sharini got a lift from ravin's bro to bishan so me, desmond and fazli were left walking along the streets of orchard with nowhere to go. the buggers were supposed to accompany me home by taxi but i had no money and they didnt want to waste their money on expensive taxi fare. they wanted to wait til 5 plus when they can take the train home. as if any decent father would let their teenage daughter walk around orchard on a saturday night with two guys. i called my dad, he scolded me, but he offered to pick me up. heeee. saaayaaaang daddy. so then i left the two lovebirds alone to do whatever hanky-panky they wanted to do til 5.

haiz, even though i didnt spend that much time with the drama ppl, i still managed to get to know them better. so sad that the seniors will be stepping down soon. i'm gona miss them. i dont know whether our batch can match up to their standard. :(

oh well, i better get started on homework. it's been ages since i even thought about homework.

we're having pizza tmr. wheee!
