it's been laid down.

Yesterday, Ed vinn introduced this singer to me. And this guys voice is just so awesome!!!

He's a singer from the Philippines.

Gabe Bondoc-We Match.

Another band that I like. They're from the States. Not very well known but I love their songs. Can't seem to find a place to download it. So only have Youtube to listen to them. Unless someone wants to buy their album for me from iTunes. =)

Honor Society-Unpredictable(acoustic version)

buisness plan.

So today was the final day of Career 'Week'. Was looking forward to the Advertising talk but due to unforseen circumstances, Yasmin Ahmad couldn't make it. Talk about a bunch of dissapointed students. So in the end I went for the 'Taking Chances' talk by Greg's dad. All I learnt is that Greg's dad's life is really interesting with 3 near death experienes and traveling across US and from London back to Malaysia on a Harley Davidson. Sounds so cool.....I also wanna try!!!

Food buisness was quite funny. Marketing was okay but the woman droned on and on for so long. And you know the funny thing is, that people like Greg's dad and the DELIcious guy who are doing so well now, either don't have a degree or a totally irrelevant degree to what their doing now. So during the Q & A sessions, you could see that the PTA had to ask questions so that the speakers would tell us how important education is. Quite funny actually.

Concerning the 30-Hour Famine. We finally got an answer from Mrs. Chan today. It's a NO. Cause apparently we are such a high profile school with high profile parents who will sue the school if anything happens to their precious darling children during the 30 hours without food. I mean to a certain extent I can see what she's gettin at but if we make eveyone sign the consent form I don't see a problem. After all, it's not like we're going to force people to not eat. It's their choice and their parents choice on whether anot they'll be allowed to go. We have given everything to Ms. Harriet and she'll be reviewing it. So I hope she'll say yes tomorrow. After all, does she think we have the luxury of time? We'll totally be behind schedule if we don't get an answer tomorrow.

We have thought of 2 back-up plans. One is that we just do 8 hours in school if Mrs. Chan will let. Get the students to do the activities and what not and then go home later so at least we won't need to stay over at school. Sounds like a good idea but the students might find it quite troublesome to come and go. They'll also have to find their own transport to Bukit Jalil for the countdown if we can't get buses.

The other plan is to do it at another venue. Problem here is the rental fee and whether anot other places will allow us to stay over at the place. What's more I don't know how it'll be if the girls and guys will be allowed to sleep in the same room.


Argh!!!! Mrs. Chan!!!! If you had only said yes we wouldn't have this problem!!!!!

Just a couple of pics from ballet concert.

Us in our 'monster' costumes. So colourful!!! (Sarah seems to missing for some reason.)
After the show. In Boho costume. There were too many cameras so you'll realize that not all are looking at the same one. (Jasmine's missing)
Another one. Jasmine has decided to grace us with her presence.

Today was the second day of our Career 'Week'. I only signed up for the Journalism talk as wasn't very interested in Animation. Most people I knew either went for the Cardiologist or Money Matters talk. The talk was much more interesting that I expected it to be. Learned a fair bit more about the job as a journalist. Speaker was Niki Cheong who's a writer for the Star newspaper with a column out every forthnight titled "The Bangsar Boy". Journalism does seem like an interesting career choice but I probably wouldn't pick it as my first choice. Maybe I'll try freelancing sometime next time.

For tomorrow, skipping the first session as neither Film Direction, Architecture, Taking Chances nor being a Pilot piqued my interests. Am going for Food Buisness (Speaker is the guy who owns Delicious group of restaurants), Advertising (Speaker is Yasmin Ahmad, the person who directed Sepet) and Marketing (No idea who the speaker is). Should be an interesting series of talks tomorrow.

Also met our new Physics teacher today. He is............nice. He's also very soft spoken. He also looks WAY too young. Haha. Someone even said he looks younger than Head Prefect. Understanding his speech is going to prove a small obstacle as some of his pronounciation isn't very good. At one point me and Amanda were wondering why he kept saying fox and foxes all the time. Later realised that he meant force and forces. Oh well, maybe it's just first day nerves. Please get better with time!!! Physics is a subject where I do need to listen to teacher cause the textbook and notes don't really make sense all the time.

parallel lines.

Don't you just hate it when you have to go through lots of trouble to make up for another person's mistake?

You see, all SPM candidates have to do this thing called PEKA for SPM and must do well in order to get an A in the subject. The problem is that the 'pentaksir' person is coming tomorrow to check up on our PEKA files, and when do we start doing it?

Today. One freaking day before the person comes you expect us to finish a draft and report for 2 experiments? May not seem like a lot but it is quite tiresome to finish. Reason that we're only doing it now is that apparently our previous teacher told the current teacher that the pentaksir only comes in August. I do not see that as a valid reason!! If other teachers had already made us finish by May I don't see why you have to make us do such last minute work!!

Anyway, ust submitted the proposal for the 30-Hour Famine today. Hopefully Mrs. Chan will approve it by tomorrow so that we can get down to sorting out the details.

"Career Week" starts tomorrow with a short talk on Education Overseas. Hopefully will actually learn something useful.

Sometimes I just wanna walk into a fantasy.

singing in the rain.

One of my all time favourite movie is Center Stage. Not because of a stellar cast or wonderful acting but for the dance. I mean, how often do you find a good dance movie about ballet?


The entire movie centers around a group of kids who attend the American Ballet Academy and are trying to get into the company. The storyline and characters are a bit cliched but the dancing is amazing. Most of the main cast are actually ballet dancers in real life who are very good. Anyway, they're coming up with a sequel this year and I was hoping that it would center around ballet too.

Unfortunately, the storyline they're using is WAY overused. It's about some girl who is a ballet dancer but secretly likes hip-hop too. Sound familiar? Save the last dance and step up are just some examples. But I hope that there will be more ballet than hip-hop.

Also, did I mention that I absolutely love Center Stage's finale dance? The pointe shoes the main actress wears are so AWESOME!! If I could, I'd get red pointe shoes too.

through the night.

Every 2 years or so, my school organises this Career Week thing for the Form 4 and 5's. When I was in Form 3 I remember that they had a wide array of professionals who quite famous in their fields. So naturally, I held high hopes for this years Career Week. Cause the last time they had Melinda Looi the designer and Harith Iskandar the comedian.

What's more, the last Career Week really was an entire week from Monday to Friday. And there talks throughout the entire day if I'm not mistaken. Wanna hear about next week's Career Week? It's only three days from Tuesday to Thursday. Not even the entire day. Barely 2 hours a day. The reason for such short sessions are that this time, we have to pick which talks we want to attend. Where is the logic in this?? The whole point of Career Week is to expose the students to various career choices so that they have a better understanding of different careers. Instead, our of 6 talks, we'll only get to pick one. I mean, what if I'm interested in H&T, accounting and journalism but they all fall at the same time?? Am I suppose to just blindly pick one? Also, some of the speakers and just lecturers from KDU college. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against them but wouldn't it be better to get someone who is actually in the field so that we know what the real world is like instead of getting a bunch of people who are probably just going to tell us the curriculum at college??

The time management is also horrible. 1 hour for 4 different people to talk?? Not possible. How can 4 people give 4 talks on education in Canada, New Zealand, UK and some other place. By the time everyone settles down it'll be 15 minutes past. And only half an hour for the various career talks? In my opinion, very bad planning this year.

Anyway I've picked to attend the journalism, advertising, food buisness and marketing talks. Hopefully I'll actually learn something.

Have to convince Mrs. Chan on Monday to allow us to have the 30 hour famine. Apparently she told Mr. Zac it's the same as the Skip-A-Meal thing we had last year. Half an hour and 30 hours are so different. Hopefully she'll say yes.

drink up baby.

It was a busy weekend.

Had ballet concert on Saturday. Woke up early seeing as had rehearsals at 9. I totally prefer KL Pac compared to Security Commisions. Backstage is so much nicer. Rest of the day was spent in the car with my mum taking my sisters to and back form their rehearsals as all three of us had different times. Got back home around 4 and took a shower and went to do hair. Left soon after that and reached KL Pac around 6.45. Spent sometime changing into costume as I couldn't very well wear a tutu into the car. Did makeup then put on my pointe shoes as had to warm up. In a short time it was our item. 'Thriller' by Michael Jackson. Can you imagine doing ballet on pointe for that song?? My toes were dying at the end of it. After that changed costume and hairstyle for the next dance. 'Bohemian Rhapsody' by Queen. Basically that was our finale dance.

Every year Ms. Leong includes a small audience participation thing in between the show. Usually the audience has to stand up and do a dance. I remember one year where a father came on stage and had to do the 5 positions for ballet. Damn funny!! Anyway, this year's one was SUPER funny. She made them do the YMCA and Soulja Boy. I swear when I was watching from backstage, everyone looked hilarious doing the dance. Some of us backstage did the dance too. Overall, this year's concert was one of the most fun ones.

Pictures up some other time.

Sunday woke up early as usual for church. After that went to Mid Valley for breakfast and then I met up with Amanda as it was her birthday. Bought tickets for 'Made of Honour'. Then Jia Lik came and we lepaked around till Trixie came and then we went for lunch. Went to 'Sushi Zanmai'. Not as good as I thought it should be. Definitely ranked below Sushi Groove and Sakae Sushi. Movie was at 3. The movie was not bad. Trixie rated it the best romantic movie this year so far but I definitely prefered 27 dresses.

Jia Lik, Trixie & I got Amanda a necklace and matching earrings which were pink and sparkly. That was the actual present. Why I say actual? Cause a few of us actaully shared another present which we only gave to her today.

You should have seen her face cause she didn't want to open it. Placed it in the Pet's Wonderland plastice bag so she was so afraid we got her a frog seeing as frogs are her bigget fear. In the end when she opened it, it was something not alive. A collar. A dog collar to be exact. Hahahahahaha. Those in my class should know why.
