THAT'S ALL FOLKS....

Grad ball was a blast! Marina Mandarin felt the wrath of the Andersonians as everybody strutted in their suits, shirts and dresses. It was one heck of an event.

I was able to get eveything I wanted to wear. Well almost. I couldn't find the ringer T-shirt that I was looking for. So I just got a Fender T-shirt. It worked well though. I wore that together with a white tailor-made blazer(couldn't find my size), black jeans and my sneakers. I realized there was nobody else dressed in the same style as me. Makes me damn original. hehe... :)

Pradip looked damn sleak in his trenchcoat. Reminded me of Neo from the Matrix. Dope sia Pradip. Fadhil wore a fitted blazer with a damn nice T-shirt underneath. He actually got everything that he wanted. Yiyang looked like a CEO the first time I saw him. Blazer, shirt and a T-shirt? Not hot ah Yiyang? Syafiq...Hai...Wore his grandfather's blazer or so he says. Looked good actually.

Actually, everybody looked good. Even those I didn't expect to look good came out quite well. But there were a few who did not exactly seem that presentable. I'm not naming any names.

The event itself was great. Although I must admit, the MC was a faggot. Can't even pronounce boombox properly. The prize for the lucky draw was crazy man. Altec-Lansing speakers, Karaoke sets, MP3 players, The IDog, and the top prize was a TV. Man, I wish I got the TV. But nevermind, my room already has a TV.

The awards had a few surprises. I'll name all the award winners. Mr. Personality was Melvin(no surprises) and Miss Congeniality was Anjali(quite a surprise). Man of Valour was Jeevan(lost for words) and Lady of Valour was Li Mei(not surprising). Prom King was Hashir(totally no surprise there) and Prom Quen was Liyin(damn bloody surprised).

Didn't manage to bag anything at the end of the day, but I did get to spend a memorable time with all my friends. That, I think, is the best thing about the ball. It's better than any prize that was up for grabs. It's also a great time to have fun together with the teachers. They worked damn hard for us and we worked hard for them so they deserve to have some fun with us.

I feel sorry for those who did not want to come for dumb reasons. I don't mind those who were already on holiday or were not allowed to go to the ball. But for those who just did not want to come missed out on alot. They missed spending time with friends and teachers. When are we ever going to be able to spend time together as a level with the teachers after today? You might think it was a bit expensive, but the memories gained from this experience were priceless. Never again could I have such an experience with my friends and teachers if I had not gone for the grad ball.

Oh yeah, before I go. Calling out to all those who have pictures of the grad ball with me in them, I WANT THOSE PICTURES!!!!

CAN'T REPEAT

Woohoo!!! Finally renovated my blog. I don't think it's gonna be permanent. But I think it works for now. If you don't see anything new then click on refresh. Inform me of any problems pls =)

Ok...First of all, the most important thing. The O's are over!! I'm so relieved. All the stress gone. No more studying for the next 6 months. Now it's nothing but work and money. I think I did quite alright for the O's. The only tough ones were Malay and the Sciences but I think I pulled through. Hopefully I can hit my target of 15...

I was actually quite relaxed throughout the O-levels. Not studying much, just relaxing and chilling. The way my papers were scheduled helped alot. I had my papers on alternate days and it allowed me to rest after each paper. This is what i expect: English:A1, Higher Malay:B4, English Literature:A2, Combined Humanities:A2, Elementary Mathematics:A1, Pure Physics:B3 and Pure Chemistry:B3. This gives me an L1R5 of about 12. Give and take a few and I think I hit my target. At least I hope so.

The first day after the O's which was on Saturday, me and some of the other Malay peeps went out to berjalan raya. Had alot of fun. Went to quite alot of houses including Cikgu Razilah's. I ate quite alot as there was food to be eaten at almost every house. We went to about 10 i think. That's alot of food. My stomach was so bloated at the end of the day, I thought it was gonna explode(sarcastic exaggeration). There was food, fun, friends and forgiveness. Something every Hari Raya should have. Hope we can do the same next year guys!!!

Grad ball is in two days time. Haven't gotten my T-shirt yet. Damn it. I'm really starting to get desperate. I hope by sheer luck I can get by the Grad Ball.*shrugs*

Well, that's mostly it. The song playing is Can't Repeat by The Offspring. I thought it was fitting since life in Anderson is coming to an end and we cannot repeat all the good times we had. I hope the memories will remain for as long as I shall live. Goodbye Anderson, Hello World

The Offspring - Can't Repeat

I woke the other day
And saw my world has changed
The past is over but tomorrow‘s wishful thinking
I can‘t hold onto what‘s been done
I can‘t grab onto what‘s to come
And I‘m just wishing I could stop, but

Life goes on
Come of age
Can‘t hold on
Turn the page

Time rolls on
Wipe these eyes
Yesterday laughs
Tomorrow cries

Memories are bittersweet
The good times we can‘t repeat
Those days are gone and we can never get them back
Now we must move ahead
Despite our fear and dread
We‘re all just wishing we could stop, but

Life goes on
Come of age
Can‘t hold on
Turn the page

Time rolls on
Wipe your eyes
Yesterday laughs
Tomorrow cries

With all our joys and fears
Wrapped in forgotten years
The past is laughing as today just slips away
Time tears down what we‘ve made
And sets another stage
And I‘m just wishing we could stop

Life goes on
Come of age
Can‘t hold on
Turn the page

Time rolls on
Wipe these eyes
Yesterday laughs
Tomorrow cries

FINALLY....

I'm blogging just after 'sahur'. I slept the whole day yesterday after the HML O's. Damn tired. Now I can't sleep, so I decided to update my blog.

Finally...

I can't believe it. It's Hari Raya in two days and the major O's start in about 6 days. Both these events i just can't wait for. First it's Hari Raya. Can't wait to see all my relatives. Especially can't wait to see my cousins. I hope they come. I need to know how in the world they were able to get a gig in K.L. I know their band started out two years ago, but now they have an EP, they're getting gigs easily.

If you wanna know, they are actually a punk band called Rejected Scums. They are not your typical squeaky clean pop punk band that you may be thinking of. Pop punk's just a load of bulls*it. Their punk takes its roots from The Dirty Rotten Imbeciles and Anti-Flag. They stay true to what punk really is, everything against everything. They'll screw the government in more ways than one if they had the chance to. They are your typical spike and studs punk usually thought to be left behind with the 80's. They sound great too. Too bad my band's in a totally different genre.

So, ya. I can't wait for Hari Raya. The food, family, fun, forgiveness. Can't forget forgiveness. It's what Hari Raya is about.

Next big event is the O's. I know it's already started but those were minor papers, nothing much. Next week, all the Big Cajunas begin. All the Sciences and Humanities. Can't wait. I know most people are dreading the O's, but what is there to worry about when you know that you have studied and learnt everything there is to learn? You just have to chill and relax. Don't stress about anything. You've got to have confidence. That's a key factor in exam performance.

Well, I've pretty much have run out of things to say. My eyes are getting sleepy. So before I leave I'll wish evreybody a Happy Deepavali and Selamat Hari Raya.
