yell for more.

As most everyone should know, Cheer 08' was held yesterday and today. Went for today's one seeing the results would only be out today.

So I just wanna say

CONGRATS!!!!!

To the boys team for getting third despite being so inexperienced and losing one of their main flyers a day before the competition.

To the girls team for improving their standing since last year and for raising the bar on cheerleading with more complicated stunts.

Took the LRT in the morning with Trixie, Jialik and her sister, Amanda and her sister and her sister's friend. And my sister. Got there around 9.30 but thank goodness the competition hasn't begun. Let me tell you something funny, this is the first time we took the LRT to Bukit Jalil so there was one point where the line splits into two so there are two different trains. We obviously took the wrong one. You see, there was a bunch of Dynamitez supporters and Blitzerz supporters in front of us so we were just following them. Just goes to show you that you shouldn't follow other people. But we happened to get onto the same train as Aleena and all so it was okay. Trixie just made a comment that the KDU-ians all look like one mafia gang cause our shirts are black and we all walked in one big gang to the stadium.

It was a long day as only a handful of teams were worth watching. The top 15 to be exact. Other than that (not being a show-off or anything), but even our house team cheer could beat at least half of the other teams there.

Results for the day are as follows

1st: Shirtliff from SM Sri Bintang Utara (Don't you think they have a weird name?)
2nd: Dynamitez from SMK DJ
3rd: Stunners All-Boys from SM Sri KDU
4th: Titans from SMK Ave Maria Convent, Ipoh
5th: Xavier from SMK Convent Bukit Nanas

One little thing, I do agree that Shirtliff deserved to get 1st as they had a perfect routine both days, but the thing that annoyed me was that when the emcees announced Dynamitez as 2nd, all the Shirtliff people got up and cheered. Talk about being overconfident that they were going to be first. Me, Trixie, Jia Lik and Amanda were like 'Don't let them get 1st' just cause of their cocky attitude. Shirtliff also won the Silkygirl Merit Award(No deduction of points) and Best Showmanship. So many awards la.

There was also this team that were the kind of team that wore tights to cover up their legs but they did this dance to Buttons by Pussycat dolls that was so OBSCENE!! You could tell the entire stadium was so shocked. I swear, all the younger people now a days like to dance so obscenely. There was a sort of game in between performances where the emcess got 5 girls from the crowd to dance to a Pussycat dolls song. And their moves were such an eyesore. There was this one girl in a denim miniskirt who totally flashed the entire world when she did a high kick in front of the judges.

All in all, Cheer always serves as a memorable occasion. The amount of people, the amount of energy, the funny moments and the gossip that we observe are all memories that can only be experienced at cheer.

every other time.

Had a 30 Hour Famine meeting with most of the committee and Aunty Vivienne. You don't know how much of help it is to have an adult involved in this. With her help, we don't have to worry about venue, transport, sponsorship for water or cash sponsorship. Such a relief!!!

Now as long as we get a venue, we go all out already.

So to all KDU-ians who read my blog, spread the word that we'll be organizing a 30 Hour Famine in August. Dates are 23-24 August. No donation card distribution yet cause we wanna secure a venue first. But we're only opening to 100+ people so if you wanna join please do get the donation forms as soon as we decide to distribute them. I will post it up here the date as to when we'll be giving out the donation cards.

After the meeting, followed a bunch of them to Jasema to buy the stuff to make the 'banners' for some of the cheerleaders tomorrow. Went over to Melissa's place to do it. 8 banners to do. And within 2 hours, 6 of us (Aleena, Puiyi, Melissa, Nick, Andrew & I) managed to all 8 roughly but without any details. I went back at 6 cause had to get ready for ballet.

To all

Stunners Cheerleaders

Good Luck!!

(especially to the guys team as they just lost a flyer. one night before the competition.)

down blankets and pillows.

NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Entertainment Weekly US did a interview with Stephenie Meyer considering her book Breaking Dawn and the upcoming Twilight movie. Not a clue as to what it says in the interview so the cause for the NO must be something else.

You see, the cover of the magazine is a picture of Edward(Robert Pattison) and Bella(Kristen Stewart). And this picture is a glimpse of what the charatcters will look like in the movie, I think I'd rather not watch the movie.

Here it is.

Do you not think that Robert Pattison looks more like a werewolf than a suave vampire?
While Bella looks more like a vampire than a normal human being?

Something funny happened in school today.

You see, during physics, the guys must have been pretty bored so Edward decided to draw something on Yu Kuan's hand. Normally I don't think Yu Kuan would have let his hand been drawn on seeing as it was Chemistry next and we all know how much Mr. Yow dislikes people having things drawn on their arms. But, Edward made a bet with Yu Kuan and promised to give him RM5(I think) if he showed the hand to Mr. Yow.

Now you see, if it was just a normal squiggle or something then it wouldn't e so funny. So you know what was on Yu Kuan's hand?

A big RED HEART with the words 'I love Mr. Yow'in the middle. Once we saw it we couldn't stop laughing. Yu Kuan actually wanted to go to the toilet and wash it off but Mr. Yow caught a glimpse of something on his hand and said that unless Yu Kuan shows it to him he won't let Yu Kuan go to the toilet. So eventually Mr. Yow saw Yu Kuan's 'declaration' of love. Hahahahaha. I missed the moment when he saw it but apparently all Mr. Yow did was smile and laugh at it.

So yeah, that's all for now.

Hopefully I'll be allowed to go for Cheer 08' and that we can start promoting the famine in school next week. Anyone who reads this please pray that the famine will 'jadi'.

is it broken?

Had violin just now at Hartamas and seeing as my sister's piano class only finishes at 8.30 while my class finishes at 8, got my mum to drive me around the Hartamas area in search of the new Taylor's College campus. So apparently it's in Plaza Damas. But since we're all lazy to get out of the car, we just drove around looking for the place but couldn't find it. After asking around, finally found out that the place is like in between all the shops where they have this street that cars can't go into. So hoping to check the place out properly sometime.

If the place looks nice and they have experienced lecturers, I may go there for A-levels. The Subang campus may be the main one but Hartamas is such a better location. I know the place so much better seeing as I've lived there for 12 years of my life so I won't get lost and I'll know where most of the shops are.

Went for dinner at Saffron. It's this restaurant in Sri Hartamas that serves really good Indian food. I think the restaurant is as old as me cause ever since I've lived at Hartamas the place has been there. Quality of food is still as good as I remembered it to be many years ago. Prices haven't changed much either. Bad news is that the portion of their chappati has shrunk. I remember when I used to order it, the chappati used to cover my entire plate. Now it barely covers half. Size of the rest of the food is about the same though. I absolutely love their Bhatura!!! It's this sweet fluffy naan like thing.

So after dinner, my sister wanted to take a drive around Hartamas to see how much it has changed over the past five years. Not much has changed save for a few houses which have been renovated and now have this ultra modern look which sticks out like a sore thumb among the other houses. The playground opposite my old house hasn't changed either. There's just more street lamps and all the swings and monkey bars and stuff have been repainted.

Driving past all these places totally bring back such great memories of Hartamas. Times when computers didn't rule our lives. Every evening I used to cycle out with the Hartamas people and we'd just cycle around the neighbour hood laughing and talking. I even remember a jambu tree at one place where we'd pluck the jambu off but never eat them. Fun times....

Cheer 08' is this weekend. Planning to go on Sunday but haven't really asked my father yet. Waiting to catch him in a good mood. Don't really know how well our teams are. But I think they'll be facing tough competition this year. Hopefully they'll place in the top 10 for all the holidays and hours they've sacrificed for this one competition.

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.
