Of cheerleading, ballet and Australia

Sorry for not updating for such a long time but everytime I wanted to upload pics, my sister hogs the camera. So for the weekend, there was ballet rehearsals, the concert itself, crashing alia's party, cheer 07' and finally Adranne's 2 farewell parties.



Our finale dance. All in all did 3 dances. 1 was about bullying, the 2nd was the white witch from Narnia and above is our finale. I need a hero. Yes, the one from Shrek. If you want to know, this year's concert theme was 'World of Villains' so at the end we showed how we need a hero to make the right decision.


The Grade 7's and 8's. The 'pirate' in the middle is Captain Hook. Aka my ballet teacher. Ms Leong. Funny looking no?

After the concert, we, as in Melissa, Aleena, Trixie, Pui Yi and me walked to Bukit Kiara. Why you ask? For Alia's party. Me and Trixie we gate crashing. And NOONE told me we were going so I went looking like an idiot as still had make up on and my ballet bun. It was interesting. This is because not once has anyone had an actual disco-ish party. Slept over at Melissa's.

Me and Trixie woke up at 5.30 to follow Emily to school as we were following the very 'full' bus to cheer. Melissa went later as she had already went on Sat. And Aleena went somewhere else.

The stadium in the morning. Quite empty. Stunners and Strikers were last so not many KDU-ians yeat. The CBN, BU4 and DJ supporters took up a whole section. Maybe around 400 people?


Stadium later. Very full. As you all may have seen in the newspapers, Dynamitez won. Shirtliff 2nd. Vulcanz All Boys, All Girls 3rd and 4th respectively. Stunners didn't get top 5 but Strikers won bet dress. Stunners got 12 and Strikers 13.

Rushed home after that and took a shower as had to go to Adranne's 'surprise' party. She's leaving tonight for Australia...But when me and my sis got there, found out that Jasmine accidentally let it slip that there was going to be a party. It was okay la. Adranne's was like a water tap. And none of the ballet girls came, but at least Lucas was there. He's seriously entertaining I tell you. His family and Adranne's family along with 2 other families went to Korea last year together so they are pretty close.
Me, Adranne and Weng Yan.

As none of the other ballet girls went for the farewell thing on Sunday, all of us met up at Souled Out Tuesday night. Ate, talked, gossiped, looked at concert pictures till 10. Then everyone went home as it's a school night. Gonna miss Adranne!! Why does everyone leave for Australia? First it was Vicky from ballet, Li Ying and Hooi Shan from school and now Adranne. Is Malaysia that bad? Oh wel...we're all bound to leave sooner or later.
From the left: Farah, Sarah, Yen Ping, Tiffany, Jasmine, Me, Adranne, Sher Wen, Ms. Leong, Chrislynn and finally Stephanie(If she looks familiar it's because you saw her on th front page of the Star on Monday-Dynamitez).

London!!!

London was really nice. Not very cold, not very hot. Didn't rain as I expected. Just a little drizzle at times. Lazy to blog all about it but will upload pics now.

That's Westminster abbey. Really nice but not worth the 10 pounds to go in and see tons and tons of tombs. (Sorry it's the wrong way, I dunno how to rotate it.)


The Marble Arch. Nothing great about it but lots of people go to see it.


The 'Crooked House of Windsor'. They built it this way, not that it became that way.


Stonehenge. A bunch of rocks in the middle of nowhere.
Ascending angels. Didn't get the descending one.
That cauldron was once filled 4 times with alcohol for a party. One hell of a party!!! It's about 30 galleons.
Roman Baths. Go to Bath people. Really nice place.
Shakespeare's Birthplace. Hope some of that talent will rub off on me.
Really AWESOME cookies. From Covent Garden.
Greenwich park. Pretty no?
Can't you just picture Hogwart's students here?
'Dr. Watson', my aunt and my mum. 221b Baker Street.
Really funny stuff inside. Ex. An artist's tinned faeces.

Sunrise on the plane.
Super funny!!! Adult themed though. Must watch!!
Les Miserable. Quite nice. Spaced out in the middle though.

Those were the highlights of my trip. Hoping to study there.

Of alcohol, movies and camps

Let's start with camp.
Got there around 10.30. Had the opening activity which was the skit for 10 minutes. My group, 'Yahweh yellow' had to do the 10 plagues. Jon was a very good Moses. Haha. Had lunch then went over to the clubhouse for telematch. Did the blowfish and handball. Blowfish was fun, we had to do a wheelbarrow then blow a newspaper fish. But my arm hurt like crazy after that. Handball was okay. Lost in the first round as 80% of our team was under 12. And the other team had all the adults.Got 2nd place though as other adults played for our team later. Went back to the apartment after showering. You know, when I went in I realized that I've stayed there before, not only for prefect camp but in primary school for some study thing. Had icebreakers that night. Not much to say bout that.

Second day, woke up around 7 which is pretty late by my standard for a camp. But anyway, wanted to go to the river but Michelle took very long to get ready so just went for breakfast. Had a session with Wei Shen. Had lunch then the 'highlight' of the camp. Fear factor/Survival challenge. For youths only. Started out with a brain teaser asking loads of questions bout Becca, Lauren and Jason. Had to swim in the pool for answers. Was the first team to finish then went to the futsal court to do the 2nd task. Jon had to be blindfolded and we had to tell him what to draw. Next was the football thing, get 3 goals while blindfolded. Did the gurney sack race after. Then went to Jason's station. Had to stick our hands into a mixture of cornstarch and soya sauce. AND rub it in our hair. Then stuck our foot into it to take out a prune. The worse was next. Lauren and Becca's station. A mixture of flour, raw eggs, soya sauce and tomato sauce. There were 12 high sours in the mixture and we had to take it out using only our mouths. Didn't really taste that bad but it was REALLY salty. Someone puked though. Finally got the last station where we all had to memorise a sentence. 'Dear friends we are pleased to present you with our 2006/2007 gifts of hope catalogue featuring gifts that will put a smile on your face and hopes in the hearts of children and families.' Got to the finish line second. Lost to red by only a teensy weensy bit.

Talent night. Didn't do really well. The adults in our team so 'tak semangat'. Got last for that. Overall got second though. Lost by 1 point to purple but tied with red. This camp like went by so fast. Had loads of fun though.

Came back and started packing for Puiyi's b'day. Went to redbox. We all 'sang' so much. It was fun though. Then me, trixie, melissa and aleena went back to puiyi's house for a sleepover. Though you know that teenage girls never sleep at sleepovers. Watched a french movie called innocence but as only me and trixie could understand a bit, changed the movie to 'the perfect creature'. Melissa's pick. She likes vampire movies. Aleena wanted to watch the pick of destiny but we all didn't. She said it was because of the fat man. Haha. 'The perfect creature' wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. Watched 'perfume' after that. It was a good movie if a little vulgar. Okay, not little, quite vulgar. Ended up sleeping at 5. but woke up at 9. Had to leave at 11.30 as had dental appointment. Changed my braces colour to BLUE. Wanted white but then it wouldn't really show.

Went for piano rushed home to get ready for ballet. Had dinner at San Francisco Steakhouse that night. So was super tired when reached home.

The End.

After 2 long long long long weeks, I am happy to say that Mid Years are unofficially over!!!! It'll inly be officially over tomorrow. But those two papers don't really count. They are in other words UNimportant.

Going to watch Pirates of the Carribean 3 today. Wheee!!!! Hopefully it won't be too crowded. I'm not really one for crowds.

My hoilidays are going to be so packed. This Sat is Church camp. Coming back on Mon, then it's puiyi's b'day. But as my father seems to think I have boys on the brain, no hotel staying. You know, I think he would have let me go, but yan so totally spoiled his perception of girls who go to KDU. I mean, she's always on the phone, talking to or about guys. So bimbotic la. My dad must think that I'm secretly like that too and if left without supervision in a hotel might just bring a boy back. *Sighs*. My mum was okay with it though. She says she trusts me and my friends enough to know that we won't do anything wrong.

Then after that, on Friday, I'm leaving to LONDON!!!! A week with my mum. No naggy dad, no naughty brother, no annoying sisters. The original purpose of going to London was for me to see Oxford, Cambridge and LSE. As my mum says to 'motivate' me. So that I'll aim high and get a scolarship. As if. Not for Oxford or Cambridge anyway. LSE maybe. Even my dad agrees with me, he says that it'll be too much pressure at Oxford and Cambridge. And after all the depressed genius commits suicide stuff, he doesn't want to take the risk even though I'm not a genius.

But knowing me and my mum, we'll be too busy sightseeing and shopping to motivate me. Don't get me wrong, me and mum aren't shopaholics. We only really go shopping at sale times. But we've found this place called Bicester Village, and it's like a high end outlet place. Loads of top brands sell their last season's stuff at 50-70% off. Even though it's last season, if I'm able to find a nice pair of shades and jacket, I'll get it.

Going there for 9 days and arriving back on Sunday. Then it's back to skool on Monday. Not really looking forward to that as the Mid Year results would be out. And I don't think I did very well. Not in Bio, Add Maths, Chem......might as well say all the subjects. Except English. Hopefully.


P.S. LSE stands for London School Of Economics.
