safe and warm.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Stephenie Meyer has stopped working on Midnight Sun(Twilight from Edward's POV).

Cause a draft of the first 12 chapters has been leaked online and Stephenie Meyer is very upset about it. Thus, she has decieded to stop writing the book.

For more details please visit her official website *here*.

She has allowed the 12 chapters to be posted up now so that the rest of her reader's may read it without feeling guilty.

Why people why???

I really wanted to read the entire book from Edward's POV but I guess it's not possible now just because of a bunch of impatient people who have no respect for the author's rights to keep the book under wraps until it's finished and edited.

wake up call.

Totally funny spoof on the Twilight trailer.

And I'm done with Breaking Dawn. Not as bad as the reviews said it would be but it was still a bit of a let down at the end.



And here's a link to a SUPER funny comic thing on Breaking Dawn from Edward's POV.

*Click here*


And if you're really bored and wanna pass time and a Twilight fan, here's a couple of videos about the 4 books in a nutshell. Funny stick figures.

Twilight

New Moon

Eclipse

Breaking Dawn

never what it seems.

This is a true story that happened in Japan .

In order to renovate the house, someone in Japan breaks open the wall.
Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls.
When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside hammered into one of its feet. He sees this, feels pity, and at the same time curious, as when he checked the nail, it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was! First built..

What happened?

The lizard has srvived in such position for 10 years!!!!!!!!!!
In a dark wall partition for 10 years without moving, it is impossible and mind-boggling. Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years! Without moving a single step--since its foot was

Nailed!


So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what it has been doing, and what and how it has been eating. Later, not knowing from where it came appears another lizard, with food in its mouth. Ah! He was stunned and touched deeply.

For the lizard that was stuck by the nail; another lizard has been feeding it for the past 10 years...

Imagine? It has been doing that untiringly for 10 long years, without giving up hope on its partner.




On another note, Mr. Yow assigned lab partners today. If you've read Jia Lik's blog or are from 5 Mozart then you'll know about the funny 'events' that happened. I swear, when I head Mr. Yow say that Kok Wai's paired up with Jia, I couldn't stop laughing!!! The whole class laughed too. It was just way too funny. Waiting for us to go to the lab to see how those two communicate. They might just write down their conversation on paper cause they don't want to speak to each other. And poor Trixie has Chang Lin. Prepare for a fight or at least many arguments.

School is pretty mundane these days as only Physics, Bio and Sejarah hasn't finished syllabus. The rest we're just doing tons of revision. Can you imagine? Only a few more months to SPM and to the end of our secondary school life. Time has passed WAY too fast this year.

we must reach out.

Some famine pictures taken by Nat.




Our survival kits that seemed to have a million and one things in it(pillow, towel, toothbrush, mosquito patch, cap, mini torchlight, keychain etc.)

Not hungry people. Still happy.

Team H.U.F.T. Not even an hour into camp and they're already thinking about food.

Shelter built by Tribe JiaLik.

Campers watching some videos.

Most of our sponsors.

Nokia Siemens Network RM20k sponsorship mock cheque.

Still happy people a few hours into the famine.

Yu Kuan making a 'pancake' as part of the scavenger hunt.

They had to sort beans out too. In the evening where light was limited. *Cue evil laugh*

Whole row of people playing speed at night.

Sleeping time!! *It was freaking cold in the night*

After getting off the bus walking to the stadium.

Half of the crowd at Bukit Jalil. The other half was up in the shaded stands like us. Those people down there stayed there despite the scorching sun and later the pouring rain. Talk about being enthusiastic.

Sad hungry bored campers. Only a few more hours to go.

Break fast time. They're all stuffing themselves now.

Happy not hungry campers!!!

I'd definitely do it again next year if given the chance. It was an experience and I've learned a lot more organisational skills from it and it was nice to know that there are other people out there who care about people other than themselves.

Thanks to all those who attended, helped out or contributed money to us.
We managed to raise RM55,280.94.

Special thanks to the committee to getting the famine organised and running (Trixie, Nat, Melissa, PuiYi, Aleena and Andrew) and Aunty Vivienne for all her support and generous contribution.
Committee. L-R Trixie, Me, Nat(above), PuiYi, Aleena, Melissa and Andrew.

Us and Aunty V.

frame my soul.

I'm so tired out from the 30-Hour Famine.

Not because I was hungry or anything but all the making sure the program got a move on. While I must say the camp did not go as well as I planned it to be cause of the stupid rain seeing as it's monsoon season. But I think everything went quite okay considering we had such limited time to plan this and we're all so inexperienced.

I wanna do the scavenger hunt too. And the groups were pretty creative in their group names and building of shelter.

Group we had are as follows:

H.U.F.T ~ Help Us Feed Them (Wan Ru)
Fooderz (Greg)
Whoopsie daisy (Ben)
Balls (Nikki)
A.H.P.U ~ All Hungry People Unite (Faiz)
Femine ~ They had an all girl group (Mae Yeen)
Tribe Jia Lik (Jia Lik)obviously
Spartrix ~ Spartans and Matrix (Wui Yang)

I would say the group leaders did a pretty good job. And while more than a hundred people told us they were coming for camp, only 70+ people turned up. For the past week, people kept telling us that they couldn't come due to 'last minute' plans.

And as for the Famine Countdown. VERY dissapointing. No offence but there were just TOO many chinese speaking people there. It's like WV expects every single person to understand Mandarin. For their 1st 'English' emcee, she kept speaking in Mandarin so many people from our camp were 'sesat'. And their volounteers can't speak English or understand it either. I mean, I don't have anything against Chinese speaking people but is it too hard to at least speak and understand basic English??

Anyway, I'm going to sleep now even though it's only 10 cause I'm just exhausted. Waking up early though to finish some work.

a song about trains.

This like the first time I'm using my Mac out of the house.

In Starbucks!!!

Haha. Suppose to be having an early discussion about the famine but so far it's only 3 of us (Trixie, Nat & I). Everyone else hasn't arrived yet cause they're all busy sleeping in.

Famine planning is coming along. Basically only a few minor details left to sort out. Can you imagine that half our holidays are gone? And it's only 1 day more to the famine.

*Everyone who's using a computer here uses a Mac. Haha.

son of the damned.

So for the famine, our total amount of donations raised is


RM53,280.94


Of course, RM20,000 is from the Nokia sponsorship but it means that we ourselves raise RM33,280.94 which is quite impressive.


Only 3 more days. So much to do.

And my holidays are non-existant. The crash course is eating up all my free time. But at least I don't have to study when I get back seeing as I've 'done' 6 hours worth of revision already.
