NEWS ALERTS!!

News Alert #1 (Relevant to candy lovers)
from The Wall Street Journal

Kraft Foods launched a hostile bid for the U.K.'s Cadbury PLC valuing the company at 9.8 billion pounds($16.28 billion), setting in motion a tussle for control of the British confectioner.

By making its offer official, Kraft is appealing directly to Cadbury shareholders to accept a merger proposal that Cadbury's executives and directors have steadfastly rejected. Kraft, facing lackluster sales and upward pressure on its raw-material costs, wants to absorb Cadbury to boost its exposure to developing markets and growth prospects.

News Alert #2 (perhaps not so relevant)

from The Wall Street Journal

In a tight vote, the House passed its sweeping health bill late Saturday, marking the biggest victory yet for Democrats in their drive to create near-universal health insurance.

The bill passed by a 220-215 margin. It came after House leaders made a surprise last-minute concession that blocks abortion from the new government insurance plan in order to win over wavering Democrats.

Anyway, back to the game.

BYE SARA!!!!!!!!

I think Panit will miss your poking. And someone to poke.

Everybody!
Don't forget to post random things.. of random things....! Let's keep the world interesting with the crazy things all of us will be up to, shall we?

So for those of you who are leaving, or staying, from wherever you are, do post something interesting.. or wacky.. or in Panit's case, mildly disturbing. Wasn't this why we set up the blog? To catalog how fantastically random we sometimes are?

So everybody, do remind us where you're going!

Darren takkan pi mana-mana, so don't worry! :D

Might I suggest that everyone change their wishlist? Because quite a number of us editted it during times of severe stress, and hence it is less than complete. Thanks!

Also.......

For updates on Perhentian, please visit Jasryn's blog, http://www.jasryn.blogspot.com/ for more information. :) Anyone is welcome to make a post on it, but as stated before, I shall leave it to less... boring people. Heh. Enjoy.

HELLLO! Wishlist changed Prudence. :] It's a bit... happier now? Haha. Of course whoever said that the stress was off? I mean, we now have stress from other sources. Ohohoho.

I know! Happier wasn't quite the word.. Hahhaa. But yours had swearing. LOL. Not family friendly. Tsk tsk. Hehe

HAH I almost forgot the password :P and JM you didn't change yor wish list what is this?? Maybe its time we revived what has become a disamal and unexciting blog...we need pictures haha oh and WY new competitions too

I just did. Heh.

THE MOCKS ARE OVER!!!!

That's all.

So, on behalf of The Crew. Here's to wishing you:

A MERRY CHRISTMAS

A HAPPY NEW YEAR

It's not even Christmas or the New Year yet... Why couldn't you wait? I mean... It's the internet... It's not like we have to do anything in advance.

And to be not so mono-religious... Happy Hanukkah or whatever else you may celebrate this time of the year.

Oh shut up Panit. And besides, I felt like doing it. So there!

I think that's the excuse world dictators use...

uh oh. We're all gonna die....

Of over-population.

That was all :)

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

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.

WEI YUN WANTS NOODLES

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

:] :] :] :] :] :] :] :] :] :] :] :] :] :] :] :] :] :] :] :] :]

Notes: A Song of Ice and Fire is one of my most favourite book series.

Panit went "OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG" ... weird.....

And isnt that a song too?

panit...apparently i don't travel on the same wavelength as you because im clueless and i cannot comprehend why you are 'OMG'-ing so many times :P

I know u'll probably call me an idiot after this...thats how predictable you've become...but well i've done the honours for you...

I'm going OMG because one of my favourite book series is being adapted by HBO for TV. I've been waiting for news like this for years...

aha...now i understand :P

Work OVERLOAD

The general consensus among the group is....

WORK OVERLOAD.

WY: WHAT THE HELL?!??! 33 QUESTIONS IN CHAPTER TWO!!?!?! THIS IS MADNESS!!! *followed by massive swearing which only stopped after the entrance of Mr. Klar*

JM: -.- I.. faileddd!!!! :( *walks around like a zombie* *Sings 'Rasputin - Boney M whilst hoping to stab the Russian Tsars and their incompetence*

Feel free to add your own comments and quotes.

I HAVE SO MUCH WORK THAT I AM GOING TO DROWN, DROWN IN THE SEA OF WORK THAT CONSUMES ME WITHIN MY OWN BLOOD, AND THEN EVERYTHING WILL COME CRUMBLING DOWN AROUND ME AND THE PILLARS THAT HAVE BEEN HOLDING ME UP WILL FALL, ONLY THEY WILL COME DOWN AND I WILL REALIZE THEY ARE MADE OF MATHEMATICAL EQUATIONS CRASHING TO THE GROUND.

PAAAAAAAAAAAAH econs homework for tomorrow, math exercises, DT Major Project, DT Grad portfolio (which me and Sara are trying to hide and keep it secret. Maybe he'll forget he ever gave it to us as work.

Tentative new Prom date

WUuuhhh??? Its most likely the 28th... Because of hotel bookings. What's there to discuss? More like complain.

I thought yer bradder said 30th Jan. No mehh?? Panit I am hereee. Haha. Poke.

My brother? He said 30? I din know about that...

End of school I heard from a not-so-reliable source that it would get moved to Jan 30th.

THIS ISN'T HUMAN

THIS IS EVIL

THIS IS TREACHERY

THIS IS TREASON

THIS IS SUPPRESSION OF OUR RIGHTS AND OUR EMOTIONS

THIS IS.... SPARTA!

. . .

Because I am bored... I shall quote Sara on the event of Su's birthday:

"Dot... Dot... DotdotdotdotdotdotdotdotdotdotdotdotdotdotdotdotdotdotdotdotdotdotdotdotdotdotdotdotdotdotdotdotdotdotdotdotDOT DOT DOT [="

That shall be all. :]

Uhh. PanPan! When exactly did I dot so much?? Why don't I remember this?? Are you putting uhh..dots into my mouth?? Huhh?? Oi.

The DOTTING of Su's present in maths.

EVERYBODY

For those of you that are interested:

Please contact WEI YUN or SARAH SC if you want to be a staff member of THE UPLANDS SCRAPBOOK.

Submissions can be sent to theuplandsscrapbook@gmail.com

SPREAD THE WORD :D

Are you accepting book reviews? I wanna do a review for The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch, partly because I just saw it arriving in the school library.

Rules state that we will accept all submissions unless they come from Panit- nah, kidding, sure! I'd like to read that book anyway (:

Storm Front

Very, veeeeeeery entertaining :]

"My name is Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden. Conjure by it at your own risk. When things get strange, when what goes bump in the night flicks on the lights, when no one else can help you, give me a call.

I'm in the book."

I know I'm sad to be posting about a book... But it's funny - and good :]

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I just thought of something.

Now I know why Su reads romance novels...

HEE HEE thats what we were discussing that day. When Su was supposed to be doing 'Malay test papers' hahaha ;) LEMON!
I read it for the story. And not all books have lemon okayyy. I'm not that bad.

Now, THAT I must agree. Girls read romance novels for the story. >.<... We're crazy, but not perpetually and mortally insane.

Jeanson used to keep asking me to read this book, which I refuse to because apparently I write like the guy, my main character sounds, apparently, like a 17-year-old Harry Dresden (but probably a less cool, Asian version) and the way I write about magic and stuff is pretty similar...

If I read that book, I will probably throw my arms into the air and faint. Haha. Because I don't think that I'd ever be as good as what people have said about this? :] And if I end up not liking it, I'll probably get insulted and never speak to Jeanson again. So no thanks, I'll pass. Not until I finish an epic masterpiece I think? *no wait that will probably never happen, screw that*



Lol epic masterpiece, for me, means Steven Erikson's the Malazan Book of the Fallen. Starting with Gardens of the Moon.

What's it about? The title sounds pretty good already. I'm pretty hard to please with fantasy though; a lot of the writers TRY to be too epic and then I get bored. Neil Gaiman is one of the few writers I like. Terry Pratchett, too. Heck I couldn't even swallow the Belgariad.



Belgariad sucks balls.

OMFG PANIT THANK YOU. YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE WANT TO KILL ME BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET PAST THE FIRST HALF WITHOUT DYING OF BOREDOM. SAME WITH ERAGON. I ******* HATE ERAGON.

I finished the entire four book tetralogy... But yeah it sucked. I've read Eragon and Eldest, but I doubt I'll ever bring myself to read Brisingr... Or Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows :P Sorry not into fan-fiction.

... YOU INSULT HARRY POTTER? *cries* :]

Fantasy, particularly high fantasy, for me means:
A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin (first book A Game of Thrones)
Malazan book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson (Gardens of the Moon)
The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan RIP (The Eye of the World)
The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb (Assassin's Apprentice)
The Gentlemen Bastard Sequence (The Lies of Locke Lamora)


And currently on trial right now are the Dragonriders of Pern (Dragonflight) by Anne MacCaffrey and The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant (Lord Foul's Bane).


Lastly, for something rather different and short, sweet read, there's Lud-in-the-Mist Hope Mirrlees.

Le boredom

My mommy tinks i'm kool

cepat cepat..mari pulang kampung =D

We miss you Sarah... No one to shake, no one to turn to for help...

On the other hand, we won't be hopeless staring at you in awe for the amount of French work you get done :]

The Uplands Sara(h)'s are missing one part of their threesome. It does not feel good. Ahh. Sara also misses Jassy Poodle.

Eh, it doesn't feel the same without you la. COME BACK SARAH. RUN BACK LIKE NOWWWW.

Hello sleepy world!

I say

GOONY IS A CAMWHORE AT HEART [:


He makes such pretty supposedly 'random' poses but..
I believe, that aaaallll this while, he's secretly been practicing very uhhhhhh studiously?? at home.
Well hah! EXPOSEDD!!

You can't fool me!

Hee.

Good night.

PRIYA IS HEREEEEEEE!!!

BOO :)

you people have left me with no colours to choose from so i have decided to:
pick
and change
to random
colours
whenever
i feel
like it!!!!

ok ok i'll pick what looks to me to be the closest thing to gold...and no im not colour blind...there's simple (er simply -,-) no better shade :(

"simple no better shade" ? What kind of English is that?

This blog is simply reinforcing my points about idiots.

:]

Oh, shut up, Panit. >.<. Welcome to Idiot Land. Heh. Or rather we know how to have funn.. JOIN USSS... Come to the darkkk siddeee... =_=. And Priya, we all know who's colour blind. *points*

I can still see it's JM and it's red, and I can tell everyone apart. IDIOT.

<_<

>_>

-_-

oh you and your english!!! learn to speak properly first you idiot -,-

Maybe if I start talking like JM, Panit won't be able to tell the difference between the two of us. So I need to sound... serious. And philosophical.

*insert ToK stuff here*

THERE. :D Did that work?

NO. And Panit, you thought something GREEN was PINK. Wheee.. and I can talk like WEIYUN!!! SUGARRRR!!!!

I hate being the one singled-out for ostracization. :[

Well you can't really blame us :)

Yes I can  <_<
