Deflower!

"My kids will steal all your kids virginity." -SY-

Oh the horror. Beware of this woman. Do not be fooled. Her pouty look and innocent face belie her convoluted mind.

Just look at that grin, those eyes! You have been warned.

P.S. Personally, SY is starting to worry me. Her kids will never sleep over at my place. I do not want them deflowered. In fact, I will tell my kids to go play with the nice little prudes ie. JM's kids. I would like my kids to be ermm... flowered?

P.P.S Ignore the fact that I'm in the picture as well =D

She said all that I think.. after I insulted her tofu. hahaha SHE THREATENED MY YET TO BE BORN KIDDIES. GRRRRR. And THATS why you get the basement unit Su. Tsk Tsk, can't let her babysit when me and the missus go out for dinner. JM here we come. :D

YOU ARE EVIL! I was just making funny faces!!!! EVIL!!!!!!

And the threat was for Darren. For mocking me. My kids shall be innocent. Till they are corrupted by their friends. *coughlikemyownfrenshavecough**

Blackout

JM and Jas arrive home from Batu Ferringhi hoping to watch an episode of 'Bones' and a movie. Just as we step into the house. 'POOF' The lights go out. We are in DARKNESS. 

 Neighbourhood blackout. 

Ever had one of those moments when you just feel cursed? Yeah, this was one of 'em. You almost expect the scary music to start playing and somebody to pop out and go BOO.

A torchlight on the couch was the only source of light in the whole house. I call this picture... salvation.

We spent a very sad, very desperate hour or so playing speed in semi-darkness. When we got really desperate, we started playing memory card games. A game I haven't played since I was 6 years old but which I believe has contributed significantly to my apparently amazing memory and my OCD. I obsessively compulsively arranged all the cards in straight little lines and rows with even spacings between them. 

JM just watched me and shook her head. Now she's leaving me to write this post all by myself. When the lights came on JM sang "Hallelujah!" and went to turn on all electrical appliances.

By the way, in that very very long time (an hour) in which we had no electricity.. we came to realise how important it was to us. No tv. No lights. No air con. No computer. No internet. No phone. Only cards and each other. What a scary thought.

How we're slowly turning into each other-

Add your own here. Note that this does not mean we are losing our own individuality: it just means that your friends' little quirks do rub off on you. (:

Su Yin:
1) Wei Yun is now self-praising excessively.
2) Wei Yun is trying (and failing, just like Su) to give cute looks.

Sarah SC:

1) Wei Yun is starting to eat incessant amounts of fruits and vegetables (Though to be fair, she is also eating incessant amounts of everything else at the moment)
2) Wei Yun was referred to by Mr. Walton as "Sarah's grade-obsessed pal". Oh dear.
3) Wei Yun has taken to chewing gum in class- mind you, to keep awake only though, because I HAVE STARTED TO FALL ASLEEP RANDOMLY.
4) Wei Yun has started writing poetry.
5) WEI YUN GOT A 6 IN MATH. THOUGH SHE WILL NEVER LIKE MATH. NEVERRRRRR.

Jasryn:

1) Wei Yun is starting to get even clumsier than usual. Oh dear God.

Jing Min:
1) Wei Yun is now giving answers like "Yeah... Right. Yes, (insert person's name here!)
2) Wei Yun is now calling people "YOU DONKEY!".
3) Wei Yun is now spazzing about food... No wait, didn't she already?

Priya:

Panit:
1) Wei Yun is becoming meaner. Very mean.

Darren:

Sara Loh:

Wei Yun:

Embrace our individuality. Or the lack thereof.

Harloww.

After a conversation about the new P.E. teacher which was inspired by Ms Ross' orange car we spotted at Island - the cute female one with green and red specs who also makes weird noises and awkward sudden movements just like me [:

JM: If all else fails, I will become a P. E. teacher!!!! *grins*

*silence*

SL is seen to be bopping her head, singing along enthusiastically to 'Empty' by The Click Five.

JM: I'm talking to myself, aren't I?

*silence*

After a considerably long moment..

SL: *still bopping* Mmhmm, yes. If all else fails, YOU will become a P. E. teacher!!!! Applause!! *claps hands* There would be more, but there's only one person here..

JM: -.-

Note: all this was happening while Sara wanted to pee, very badly. But JM made her stop by Cold Storage Island Plaza to get instant noodles and Cheese Sausages. Thus, the slow reply and ignoring of JM are appropriate. Slightly.

Routine

A set of customary and often mechanically performed procedures or activities as defined by Answers.com


The Crew's routine:



1. To have loads of laughter.
2. To go to McD every Friday. (4 weeks in a row d!!!)
3. To take loads of videos and pictures when we go on "outings"
4. To go to KFC every Wednesday.
5. And Wan Thun Mee every Thursday.
6. To poke fun of Panit's BOINKY! (this routine shall prevail!)
7. To color coordinate our clothes *the girls at least*
8. To have random conversations like 'Ooh the toilet seat is cold, my butt feels cold. It's quivering, shriveling up O.o' in the school toilets everyday (perhaps just the girls).
**Sarah W. calls us the 'toilet buddies'. Whee.**
9. To act random and have people wonder what in the world is wrong with us.
10. To blog excessively.

A time for a change?



How about to go to the beach instead of McD?
BEACH!!! STARBUCKS!!!

Or maybe.. uh.. uh.. BATU?! LOL. Is it just me or does routine often imply = boring? hehehhe...!!!

Not always! But a change might be fun (:

DARREN SUGGESTS GOING TO BALIK PULAU THROUGH TELUK BAHANG TO FIND DURIANS!!! Though Darren is not very fond of Durians. It has been said that his hair did resemble a durian in the past, but that is long gone now, he is now into longer hair. Like Elton John's. Anyway, back to TELUK BAHANG!!!!

Darren suggests go hiking to Pantai Kerachut. It only takes a wee 45 minutes to 2 hours trip. And there's jellyfish in the sea, but who cares? Its the ambience that matters, no?

Alternately, we could go swimming by posing as guests of high-end resort, ie Rasa Sayang, Golden Sands, Park Royal, or we could just go swimming in the sea. :)

Ways to annoy your (really really bad) English teacher

Speak in French
Forget to finish your senten
Read everything out loud, in a British accent (like darren :P) or Australian...
Write every essay backwards. Bottom to top, right to left.
Tell her that you dropped your homework in a birds nest
If they're no good, tell the other teachers
Play charades across the classroom
mispel evurythik
Throw chopped up rubber into your teachers hair
Ask them why you can whiten, blacken, or redden something but not bluen, yellowen or purplen it?
Tell her you know shakespeare personally, and her interpretations are wrong
Tell her you could help her get fired so she can work in a better place
GRammEr> rULES?" w'hat Gra mm:er R(u.le)s?

(note the use of the pronoun 'she' rather than 'he')


Hmm this sounds like something WY would write. ahahhaa and yes, my accent is AWESOMEEE! You should have heard my impersonation of 'The Maid' from 'A doll's house' on Thursday. :P I said one word and Mr. W changed the reader from me to Kylie. hahahaha

Wei Yun votes-

That for every day this blog does not get updated, Wei Yun will consume several gallons MORE of sugar (since she consumes a gallon every day anyway, it doesn't really matter) that will increase in the form of an arithmetic sequence in the form un= u1 + (n-1) d, u1 being a gallon and d being god knows what, and the sum of all the sugar eaten will be Sn= n/2 (u1 + un), where Sn is sufficient to give any sane person diabetes or to cause death through a sugar overdose (which will not matter to Wei Yun as she is not sane)

Win-Win situation for me. I get to eat candy, or the blog gets updated. Either way...

I am a happy camper.

Everyone else goes NOOOO!

NO. Because, No.1, too much sugar will make you HIGH.. and then EMOOO.. And that's a fact. I highly doubt you want to see yourself go THAT insane. And I know it is a fact because Auntie Suzie told me(A psychologist, not the Suzie we know). So, no eating sugar according to arithmetic and geometric sequences please.

The Crew Deathmatch!

Inspired by Mr. Klar and his silly mustache wonderful teachings, you might notice that there are a few new polls.

People, I bring you: The Crew Deathmatch... (Or not really)

Basically, you guys vote on who you think would come out on top if they were thrown into a random situation. For instance, a dance battle between Jasryn and Su Yin? A violin-crushing contest between Panit and Priya? Having to endure Wei Yun singing for longer between Jing Min and Sarah?

You vote for the winner, who goes on to the next round, and so on. And so on. The one that emerges as the winner of the final will get errrr. Errrr. No idea. LA LA LA LA LA! XD

HAVE FUN :D

What stems from post-commentary depression

Conversation in the library with Sarah (typed on my laptop), which Darren interjected later on (:

we should both do our work
wei yun im sad
SO AM I
we will wallow in misery together (and grow fat like panit)
alliteration of the letters w and r
boink boink boink ONOMATOPOEIA
panit is rotund and globular. his spherish nature causes much speculation amongst scientists of the modern times, who find it impossible to fathom how in the world something could have grown to such monstrous ROUNDDDDDD proportions. upon releasing an object of substantial size onto his stomach from a height of not less than 7 cm, this said object will bounce upwards with a force of 30N (F=MA, TEEHEE) at a velocity of 6 m/s , following a massive hyperbolic curve that is symbolic of his roundness. however, when people tried to throw objects at him from nearer distances they sunk into his belly and were never to be found again. his heaps of flesh enveloped them in their BOINKETY-BOINK-BOINK embrace, joyous with the recognition of heralding such wonderful creations,

why the look of such disastrous aghast horror?

Due to the ghastly image of Boinkety-Boinkiness. GAAAAAAH now I have to get that image out of my innocent lil' mind.

*end convo due to having to control laughter in fear of retribution from Rosie*

Sigh. I really am getting mean. >.<>

:)

A conversation with Sarah C in chemistry:

Priya:
So Sarah...how is your love life??

Sarah:
I don't have a love life. I'm doing IB.



A conversation between Mr.Neild and Panit:

Mr Neild:
So how do you propose we go about organising the answers to this exam question?

Panit:
We should intergrate it.

Mr Neild:
Well done. I like that word.

Panit:
You wrote it on my sheet

Mr Neild:
I know.
This is called irony.
Go ask your English teacher about it.

Varoot:
OOOHHHH Panit...BURNNNNN


Walking in on a conversation between Panit, Jas and Su

Panit:
My tok is on the sssisssttth i think.

Me:
The sixth or the sssisssth??

Panit:
*POKE* *POKE* *POKE* *POKE* *POKE* *POKE* *POKE*

Panit in biology:
*POKE* *POKE* *POKE* *POKE* *POKE* *POKE*

Exactly what I meany by higher animal... Or lack thereof.

Let's have a discussion

Are we human beings "higher" than animals?

I'm not talking about in the food chain, just in the sense that we are "above" them.

Discuss.

I'll start off by saying that I don't believe we are; we're the only species that wakes up every day either wondering if we're going to get killed or be killed by our own kind, or whether we're going to be backstabbed or betrayed. We're the only species that would eradicate another or put the world on the brink of destruction - because we can.

Personally I'm not overly proud of being human...

The Apartment

When we grow up, we shall have the Crew's appartment.

Imagine the elevator buttons:
Basement The Lai's
Ground floor
Floor 1 The Chia's
Floor 2 The Goon's
Floor 3 The Ng's
Floor 4 The Lim's
Floor 5 Entertainment (Movie theatre and bowling alley)
Rooftop terrace (Swimming pool, bar, BBQ pit and The Deck)

And here's Darren's artwork of each floor and the "important" rooms in each floor.

WY says she will write a book and get it published to fund the building of the apartment.

Panit feels left out. And will say the same for Sara, Sarah and Priya.

Darren only had a small amount of space to draw, so he only did it for the people present. :D give Darren a bigger sheet of paper, and HEY PRESTO! AWWW DID PANIT DIDDYKINS FEEL LEFT OUT? SCHOOCHYMOOCHYPOO. HAR HAR.

EWWWWWW!!!!!

People, this is a demonstration of "tough love". Anyway! Sarah's house will be near a giaaaant garden so that she can grow (and talk to) her little veggies and carrotsies, Sara's will be with her Baby I think? Priya will like with Federer :D And Panit gets the broom closet.

I'll defy the laws of Physics and create a space in between floors to live.

You wouldn't fit. HEH

OWNED! har har har

Not going to go there... Her mind is convoluted as ever.

Talking about Polls... Someone needs to die for this last one.

But why panit?? it's one you're winning comfortably hahaha

haha he said someone needs to die? Statistics show that by popular demand, Panit shall be sacrificed to the Volcano so that the Rain Gods will shower down onto the vast plains of Africa and so Melman the Giraffe can go on his honeymoon with that sassy Hippo. What a waste of a good giraffe. Burn Panit instead? hahahaha

Oral Commentaries:

Report on status here after all people in your class are done with the commentaries- which means Sara, Jas and Jing Min go first. (:



Mine isn't til next week :]

...


Actually I don't know if that's a good or bad thing... O.o


A good thing until Sunday when we all get to gloat?


Panit answering for us yet again =P why aren't you online Panit??? Nobody is annoying me with stupid head patting smileys. Jas got Wind by Hughes. Was referred to as Sarah 3 times by Mr Cadman. Jas repeated a lot of words. Jas ran out of the IOC exam room. And slammed into a door. Jas' shoulder hurts =( Jas misspelled enjambment as enjoulement. Idiot. Jas is... hungry.


Jing Min got 'Asia' from "Running in the Family" by Michael Ondaatje.


*inserts comment before Wei Yun*
HELLO BELLO SMELLY JELLY JELLO! [: Sara got Jaguar by Ted Hughes. Mr. Cadman asked if I was 'Happy" with what I fished out of the envelope. I was like uhhh.....I suppose I'll make do. I would have preferred a prose passage. Or one of those with words like Boohoo, Achoo and Gobbledygoo. Blehh. Newayzzz..I could have done better, but what happened, happened and there's no use dwelling over the past, right? && I'm so not looking forward to my marks.

P.S. I love Wei Yun no matter what happens! Oh, and Jas, too. XDDD
Btww I'm supposed to be depressed. La la la [:

Wei Yun probably screwed hers up, got O-blahdee-thello, stupiak guy talking to stupiak girl, my love for Othello has died just like my love for English has for the time being (will be rekindled in a few days or with the writing of some bad bad bad poetry, or with a good commentary score 26-29 out of 30 which is not going to happen any more) and I think that I messed up big time because I dunno I dunno I dunno I feel like I stupied so freaking BLAHDEE hard for freaking BLAHDEE NOTHING. od;;df;;;;

Su is done too! I got The Thought Fox by Ted Hughes. Written in 1957 based on a dream. I thank Sarah and WY for sending me the link. I left the room calm. I did not run out. But I met Johan right after and went AHHHHhhhh!!!! Lost my cool there. Oops. And then while waiting for KS to finish, I got to watch people play b'ball.

Darren got Wind. :D Ted Hughes is pretty the coool, and Mr Walton is super-secret stealthy FUYOH. HAR HAR he didn't wear a tie today, and the lady invigilator lady was nice. She lent me a green highlighter and two pencils. :) I chose envelope number THREE because when I was in Primary School my school number was 97003 as '97' denotes the year I joined the school and '003' was my number in the form. So I like Number 3. :D Darren planned to check his HoroScope in The Star today to see what his lucky number for this week would be, but he forgot so he went with THREE. Heee. Darren spoke too slowly initially but he picked up speed once he realised he was only halfway through the extract at 8 minutes. Dang. OOOOH Mr Walton had this SUPER-SPECIAL Countdown thingeh with BIGGG numbers. Cool. Awesome. Amazinggg. And yeah I missed mentioning the structure of the poem, and also didn't talk about the last stanza yet when he was stopped. Mr. Walton then asked me three questions. Delightful.

Overall, happy. Though I'd have prefered the get 'Dulce et Decorum Est' by Owen. Wheee still Darren is pretty satisfied with 'Wind'. After all, it could be worse. I could have gotten 'Asia'. :O :O :O THE HORROR! Thank you school number 97003. :D :D :D

Music Overload.

Hello, Sara just finished her flute exam yesterday. Yes, I play the flute. After weeks of panic, nerve-wrecking fear, endless sleepless nights, it is OVERRR. And she feels good! GREAT! FAN-FRICKING-TASTIC! Yeah. Oh and last night was Extraordinary Sounds, and that was good! GREAT! FAN-FRICKING-TASTIC! too. We had Carla's smashing alternative rock band 'Carpe Sapien', electrifying experimental music by KS and gang, African Drumming by the 'Yellow Africans' (including sara), blablabla..and Capoeira! Liani came! Capoeira's awesome. It's like the most graceful martial art ever. It incorporates dance, self-defense and music and blends them all together to create a wonderful flow of creativity. So coool. They practically defied gravity with their flips and turns and mock fighting.

On another note, NONE of you came. The only non-music-student in Year 13 who came was Ming. AND PATRICK. Whoops. So much for friendship.

*stabs everyone with a sweet smile on*

Nevertheless, Sara had loads of fun getting high on music and laughter and extremely weird dancing antics. She then went home to collapse half-dead on her bed, only to remember she hadn't brushed her teeth or taken her bath yet. And this is why you have prolly noticed Sara was not in school today. Anyhow, Sara will see you ppl tmr, those of you sad souls like Sara who have English Oral Commentaries tmr. All ze bestest! Gaaahhh!

Lots of lurrrvveee,
Sara.

Quotes of the day

Chemistry class:

*Chaya forgot to bring her paper*
Mr. Newton: It's okay, I can always photocopy another one. Take mine. Trees grow anyway.
Wei Yun: So says the person teaching Environmental Chemistry?
Mr. Newton: I don't always have to practice what I preach!

*We are talking about why the North Pole does not have depletion of the ozone layer in different seasons*
Mr. Newton: There are no penguins! Therefore there aren't any animals to dance around like in Happy Feet!
Wei Yun: NOOOOO! THAT'S BECAUSE SANTA IS IN THE NORTH POLE!

Yes, I think I can acknowledge my dumbness. (:

How come he isn't that funny with us?!??! Besides the fact that we are half dead most of the time.. HEH.

Chain Emails

I don't often read them, I don't often send them on.

But this time, I did.

This should be sitting in most of your emails now (except Goony), however I feel the need to repost it here... With some minor changes... :]

Once upon a time in Singapore, there lived a happy couple, Mr. & Mrs. Ng with their 3 lovely daughters; Jasryn, Jing Min & Su Yin.

The 3 daughters were brought up in a prim-and-proper way and when they reached 20, they were still virgins.

Years passed, and it was time to get them married.

So, the parents found them the most suitable ' leng chais' (handsome guys).

They got married and were preparing to set-off on their honeymoon.

As 'concerned' (more like 'kay-poh') parents, Mr.& Mrs. Ng were curious about their daughters' first-night experience.

So, before the daughters went on their respective honeymoons, Mrs. Ng told them......'Your father and I want to know about your 1st night encounters and whether you are satisfied. Write a letter to us, but as not to raise your husbands' curiosity...you all must use a code-name to describe your experiences'.

So, the excited daughters were off. A week passed.

Mr. & Mrs. Ng got the first letter. It was from Jasryn.
They opened the letter and found the word STANDARD CHARTERED. They immediately took the newspaper and looked for the Standard Chartered advertisement. 'Ah! here it is!', exclaimed Mr. Ng. The motto for Standard Chartered was... 'BIG, STRONG & FRIENDLY'
Mr & Mrs. Ng were happy.

A week later, they got another letter. This time it was from Jing Min. The content was simple. 'NESCAFE'. So, again they took the newspaper and looked for the Nescafe ad. 'Ah! here it is. 'NESCAFE: PLEASURE TILL THE LAST DROP'. Mr. & Mrs. Ng beamed with joy.

Another week passed. A month passed. And another. There was still no letter from Su Yin.

The Ngs became worried.

Finally, the letter came. It was scribbled and could hardly be read, but Mrs. Ng managed to figure it out. The code-name was 'SINGAPORE AIRLINES'. Why Singapore Airlines? Mr.Ng rushed to the nearest store and got a newspaper. He flipped the pages frantically. 'Ah! Here it is!' Mrs. Ng grabbed the page and read aloud. Before she could finish ...THUMP!!!...she fell off her chair. The motto was ...'7 TIMES A WEEK. 4 TO 6 TIMES A DAY. NON-STOP'.

(The Ng family name was a coincidence by the by).

HAR HAR BOINKY. I already received that email. Thanks to ever-reliable PRIYAAAAAAAA! :D and editing it was kinda sad........... :P the 'Su' part was funneh though. HAR HAR

ROFLMAO WHAT DO YOU MEAN SAD DARREN? CHANGING THE NAMES WAS MADE OF ABSOLUTE WIN. Great job!

Priya sent it first!!! Quit being such a cheat Panit =P

And why do Jasryn, JM and... well, SY I understand... but why the rest of us????

NO! It is not fair to put all of us there. Stick to the originals!

panit....you sorely lack imagination i tell you ahahaha

but appropriately picked names nonetheless :P

The Big Red One

Put The Big Red Button on your site

Jas would like everyone to note that she introduced Panit to the Big Red Button. But he forgot. Evidence can be found here.

Panit... WHY DID YOU STEAL MY BUTTON?

ahahaha omg i can't believe i spent a part of my life clicking red buttons forever and ever XD

i did stop at one point though...only cause the keypad was about to explode

um is there actually an end??

Yes Wei Yun... even though it feels unending, trust me, someday, it will be over. There is an end. Just head for the light!

Sorry, random. Too much English.

Jas, that's PRIYA. Though after so much reading.. i can understand how the mistake was made.. ITS CONFUSING......... *eyes pop* HAHAHHAHA you actually tried TO CLICK IT! *can't say anything cos she tried to.. in January* >.<

Allow me to introduce...

THE GAME.

The Rules:

The objective of the game is to forget about its existence

1. You are always playing the game.

2. You lose when you think about the game.

3. You must publically announce when you lose.

Enjoy :]

NOTE: Apologies if you have come across this before, this was big years ago... Now, well, have fun :]

Oh and btw, I lost.

P.S.

Blame Allison for reminding me. Stupid bloody Panda.

AHAHAHAHAHAH oh no panit....i remember this one

i thought it was a real game -,-

is reminding others allowed??

HAHA when you announce "I LOST" you then remind everyone immediately because they too are reminded that they lost, so you remind them, and if you try to remind them of The Game otherwise you thought about The Game therefore you lost too.

This reminds me of CamTrad so badly >.< Some people in our group (the SSS, don't ask about the name because even we don't know what it stands for) would just shout it out randomly, and everyone lost and was like... NOOOO! Though there's a version that if you say "Moo." without thinking of The Game, you can actually win.

AND I LOST OTL||

Bored and should be studying for English Commentary but I am a piece of shit

the lovely flame that
breathes from my cupped
palm on your shoulder, that
bursts into an emblazoning
fire along the nape of your neck.
each smoldering of ash is a
gentle caress.

the blossoms of heat are
a pulsing beat, of life
that sprouts along the
length of my deadened hand;
giving it breath,
breathing blood into
the cold, blue fingers

Motivation, or the lack thereof

I need to stop procrastinating so much LOL-

Ehh!!! There can only be 100% of me... And I'm NOT insane. Maybe just a tad bit. But not 100%.

Well, you're on this blog, aren't you? HAHHAHAHAH

Sarah's Half Marathon

These are the toes of my left foot

And these are the toes of my right.

They are this way due to an obsession with running, as possibly the 26 kilometres I ran this morning.

I arose at 2.15 a.m. to defecate and carbo-load, something only a mad person would do. After having defecated and carbo-loaded with oats, prunes and biscuit-y things which all of you would not consider biscuits due to them being really healthy, I proceeded to study about the mechanisms of how Iago comes to dominate and be in control which parallels Othello's descent into sexual jealousy and lack of judgement. At 3.30 a.m., my father (who is possibly mad too) and I drove to Queensbay.

Upon our arrival, we were greeted by a multitude of bodies already sweating, jostling and whining even though the race hadn't started yet. We could not find the registration counter. In fact, "registration" consisted of giving someone your paper and receiving a rubber band in return. Excellent.

I waited in the toilet line for 15 minutes and it was horrendously smelly (16,000 participants in this competition, so you can imagine.)

My race started at 5.00 a.m., so I warmed up a bit and observed the antics of the other runners, judging them (albeit a bit harshly) on my ability to possibly beat them. If you don't wear proper shoes, you're not a runner; but I think I don't look like one because I wear tracksuits to run. All the good runners wear skinny shorts and large underwear which cover their butts. Anyway, I am being crude. It is all Iago's fault.

So I went to the starting line really early and waited because it's such a waste of time and energy to try to push your way through the eager amateurs when the race starts. I saw SGGS cheerleading team who were energetically cheering their hearts out at 5 a.m. (BRAVO GUYS! I WILL ALWAYS BE A GEORGIAN AT HEART). And they saw me and waved and cheered as I passed so that was lovely. The lion dance was very noisy but, I can see why people say it's beautiful. Very artistic and it tells a story.

So at precisely 5 we started which is quite surprising, this being Malaysia. I started off slow as normal, a few people I've seen around Botanical Gardens running all the time were going at about my pace.

Runrunrunrunrunrunrunrunrunrun
PoundPoundPoundPoundPoundPound

Met Lina who is a superb runner for her age. She was ahead of me for the first 8km and a bit, but I think she started off too fast.

This other Thai lady who was in her 30s was running beside me all the time, we paced each other. But towards 11-12 km, I was dying out and she raced ahead. At the half mark, I saw a water station and shouted 'WATER!' and tried to drink but must of it ran on my shirt. People were pissing by the side of the road in the dark.

Turnedthecornerslowingdowntiredanotherlonglongwaytogo
Shouldistopyesnoyouidiotyourealmostthere

Heard someone say 'GO Sarah!' And I assume it was Patrick (he arrived late, and was possibly disappointed because they did not serve beer at the water station).

The next few km were a blur. After running the whole length of the bridge one way, I now had to run all the way back. I kept a steady (but quite slow) pace and it just seemed bloody endless

but I persisted


about 18-19 km down the line, I thought I was going to die. Then I saw a refreshments station. Now me being an obsessed retarded person who refuses to consume many things, I do not normally drink 100 plus. But I was like, screw it. When push comes to shove, just gasak.

So I drank 100 plus and I don't know whether it was the mental thing or if 100 plus actually works but suddenly I wasn't going to die anymore

So now it was RUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUN

And the Thai lady was already like 2 minutes in front of me (This is about 400m at our pace) so I kinda gave up chasing her

Then suddenly I saw "4.5 km to go!"

So I sped up because 4.5 km is like running from my house to Island Glades and back which isn't much

And then I was past USM and it was back to Queensbay

And I was flying

And I saw the Thai girl and I beat her

Last 2 km

Stretch

Head pounding

Breath going crazy

iamnevergoingtorunabloodyhalfmarathonagain

400m

sprint

200m

stride

......and then



I saw balloons. I saw people cheering. I saw a ribbon.. So I stopped. I thought it was the finishing line. My head was going all funny. I couldn't stand properly.

A lady held me up. "Are you okay? Where are your parents?"
Me: What's my time? What's my time?
Lady: Time? I don't know.. You haven't finished yet

Me: WHAT? FUCK! (I actually screamed this)

...yes. After running 25 kilometres 900m, I stopped with 100m to go because I mistakenly thought it was the end. I didn't know how far the Thai girl was behind me.

Having lost the rhythm, I half heartedly ran the last 100m, dejected, disappointed, cursing myself for my stupidity


... Then... "Congrats, you're 5th"
Me: *blabberjumbleofwordstryingtoexplainpredicament*
Person: It's okay, no one overtook you
Me: It's the time that counts! I stupidly *jabberjabber*
Person: Uh.


So anyway
Yes
I got 5th in the Women's Open Half Marathon, which was more than a half marathon because I ran the thing in 2 hours 07 minutes (but please allow for my stopping at the 100m mark) so its around 2.05. And that is definitely more than 25 km because no way was I running 5 minutes per km. It was much faster.

So I got RM600 after waiting for 3 hours for Lim Guan Eng to arrive and give his speech and his wife presented huge cheque to me.

...Overall, a satisfactory day. Because the other runners were all from Thailand, Kenya, etc. Some Malaysians too but they're seasoned runners, 20+, 30+.. I can't believe I'm in the "open" category. It sounds so old.

Anyway

Dad finished his in good time too, no prize but still, for 57 he's going strong.

Now, lunch, work, sleep.

Hope you guys don't mind me posting about it.

OMG ahahaha you have an amazing sense of humour despite the fact that you should be fast asleep right about now

if not for that stop huh damnnnnnn you still make us proud of you either way :)

so my chem/bio partner came 5th in a half-marathon women's open catagory huh (did i get that right?? XD)

Sarah has tiny toes.

OLD Age I tell ya'! OLD AGE!

There are many things that I wanted to put on this blog. And the others too...


Until...


WE
FORGET.

>.<
We have now resorted to writing lists.

The prom run
The mini prom
SY learns how to cook
Maids, one for each child
Black and white nail polish
Jas on cars and JM's car

JM on Jas being short


And convo's too!!
Ones like these:

*Jas puts on dress*
SY : It looks trashy
*stunned silence*

Panit: Pink is so last year.
SY : Oh my god Panit! Pink was so two years ago.
*Cue laughter*

Jas: JM, WEAR THIS DRESS!
JM:.......Um... no? It looks a bit too short.
Jas: But I can wear it......... *thinks*......*lightbulb*... HEY!

Jas: Oo.. this is a nice dress! I think it'll look good on SY!
JM: I don't think she'll fit into it. She's taller.
Jas: Heyyy... you insulted me!!! *hides with Priya*
JM:.... *thinks* WOOPS! SORRY SORRY!!!!

As you can see, we often unintentionally insult each other/Jas.

Orange Pocky

Guys, yesterday, Jas, Darren and I went to Gurney with Panit and Allison and Eveline and KS. After the four of them left, we went to Winter Warmers where we bitched about life and took random photos like this:


But that's not the point. The point of this post was...


Yes, people, the orange pocky that I bought before the movie.

Oh God. It is absolutely wonderfultastically heavenly and godly and wonderful and lovely and brilliant. The orange chocolate isn't too sweet, just sweet enough to tinge your taste buds with that whiff of chocolatey richness and the orange-flavoured zest. It's not too overbearing, not too sugary, not too bland, just perfect. The biscuit and the chocolate combine until it's like they melt in your mouth together, a melange of sweet and crunchy as the citrus taste emerges from the tip of your tongue, to the roof of your mouth, and-

MORE PICTURES. I CANNOT DESCRIBE MY LOVE FOR THIS EXCEPT WITH IMAGES.

Orange and orange! :D

Best candy I have ever had. No joke. >.<>

Important Questions

Jasryn's birthday countdown!!!!

3 weeks... 21 days!!!

(Sara Loh's is in 25, I could never forget my partner in crime.)

Jasryn was thinking: STEAMBOAT

At her house. For dinner. With an option for sleeping over. For the girls. The boys may take some convincing of my parents.

Anyway, due to the fact that I own only one steamboat set... maybe someone has another one? I have another set! So do I!! Yay. Then we can have both plain and tomyam. I am asking a very important question. Would you like tomyam soup or just the normal plain one? As of now the votes are:

WY - Tomyam

Goony - Tomyam

JM - Tomyam

SY - Plain

Panit - Plain

Priya - Plain

Sarah C - Plain

SARA LOH THE OTHER BIRTHDAY GIRL WANTS TOM YAM!!

AND POTATO SALAD TOO!! OR MASHED POTATOES!! OR ANYTHING WITH POTATOES THAT DOES NOT TASTE SWEET CUZ THAT'D JUST BE WEIRD!!! [:

Another important question. What does everyone want in the tomyam? Dont you mean plain?

SY has spoken and she has said only one word: TOFU!

Another question. Salad anyone? We shall make salad for Sarah C. I could make this salad with Japanese sesame seed sauce, Japanese noodles, jagung, cabbage and so on. Just name your vegetables.

Jerejak

WARNING: This post is exactly the same as the one on my blog. Cause I'm lazy.


So last week was SY's post-birthday surprise birthday party (Sorry for the late posting) which entailed... a trip to Jerejak Island!

We blindfolded her. And Priya made funny faces to make sure she couldn't see. Then we kidnapped her from her house and brought her to the jetty.

We took the boat over (after about 30 minutes of trying to buy tickets from the most annoying ticket seller ever, he was so slow I had to help him gather all the tickets and hand them out)

Check out this guy checking out Panit. Notice how far away Panit is sitting...

We played Frisbee! Watch me dive for it... look at my enthusiasm.

Ouch...

We walked across a suspension bridge. For those of you who don't know thats A BRIDGE THAT IS SUSPENDED BLOODY HIGH IN THE AIR.

Note here that I suffer from a ridiculous fear of heights. All the while as I was freaking out trying to cross the bridge, people are telling me about how safe it is according to Physics and stuff... Forgetting that rationalising does not work with irrational fears. Like I'll be thinking about Physics when I could very well plummet to my death.

The purpose of walking across this bridge and scaring myself silly was so I could get to the flying fox area and scare myself silly some more. Look at my reluctant, "hahaha-you've-got-to-be-kidding" face.

Flying fox is this thing where they strap you to a pulley like device and you hang on for dear life to it while you're pulled across the length of the suspension bridge. I was very reluctant to fly so... the guy pushed me! And people do this for sport -_-"

See Panit run! Jump! FLYYY

As if getting me to walk across some flimsy bridge one way and then fly across the other way wasn't enough... NEXT we went to conquer my fear of heights some more, by wall climbing. Look at my amazed face. Look how far I had to tilt my head back.

Surprisingly though, I'm pretty good at it. I got all the way to the top. Although the only reason I forced myself to climb that high is because I really didn't want to let go. Sadly, once I got to the top, they said "LET GO." And I said, "WHAT???" And clung on for dear life, until they started yanking at my rope.

See, I climb like a monkey. I just can't get down again. Getting down involved lots of fear and screaming on my part. Priya has the most amazing videos of me doing the stupidest things.

We went through the obstacle course at the resort too. Just for the fun of it. (Mostly to use it to camwhore)

Priya has the most amazing video of me doing this too. At one point my legs started shaking so violently the whole line shook. But I made it across... albeit with lots of help.

We went swimming too. In the rain. Imagine this scene...

*Jasryn touches the water... draws back... touches it again*

"There are icky things in the water!"

*Jasryn looks up for sympathy... sees Panit shirtless*

"OMG! There are icky things out of the water!"

*Jasryn jumps in*

Inserts rude comment: OMG FOR A MOMENT I COULDN'T RECOGNISE PANIT. HE LOOKS SO DAMN EXTRA BOINKY-FIED HERE.

After swimming, we naturally had to bathe and dry our hair. There was no hair dryer but being innovative Uplands students, we made do. And here are some final shots:

Before

During

After. See how tired we all are? Despite what it looks like, I really am wearing pants. It was cold, so I wore Panit's jacket which... him being boinky and me being short, was too big and long for me.

Shot of me in Queensbay enjoying ice cream at Swensen's. Close up of Panit's jacket that looks like a body bag.

Some people really enjoyed the ice cream.

Final shot of our birthday girl. The caption is apt.

P.S. There are many pictures of me in this post. Probably cause I wrote it =) And I look pretty!

I like this picture. If only we could cut the yellow teletubby out...

P.P.S Annoying ticket seller guy officially became weird and creepy ticket seller guy when he tried to hit on me. (I like to think its cause I'm so pretty but then again... I think it was more my amazing ticketing skills)

Su Yin says thank you. Again. It was funnnnn!!!!!!
