Normality.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IFFAH
ol' buddy ol' pal.
*throws rubbery cicak* :D
I know you're not a pink freak anymore, but what the heck.

In other news, HAZE upon us! Grab your gas masks!

In other other news, school today was fun. Said toodloo to the moral students, who went to FRIM. The signed this really long cloth banner thing. It's supposed to go into the Malaysian Record Book or whatever. Something about longest merdeka-happy banner ever. It would be a lot more cooler if they let everyone write in different languages, to display the DIVERSE RACES in the country. And, not limiting us to really cheesy phrases that made me feel guilty and not at all patriotic.

Then we watched some cheerleading vids and gymrama vids that we did during PJ with Cik F. That was funny. Then we watched a student drama of Puteri Hang Li Po during BM. Recess was uneventful. Chemistry was ... normal. And there was no Physics, so Nazia, Iffah, Sophie and I bonded with the two trainee teachers.

I'm posting a lot lately. Hmmm.

EDIT: Found this while surfing the net:

"Just got back from Borders, where they took back my book [Breaking Dawn] with no problem. Got into a discussion with the cashier about how I was the 15th(!!!) person to bring my book back today. Seems like many customers felt that SM was not true to her characters and her self created Twilight world, and are calling foul." -- quoted by julian_black on LiveJournal.com

The tagline for this is "Don't Burn It, Return It."
And I'm all, duuuuude. This looks like serious business. (cue Joker-reel saying "Why So Serious?") I know the ending wasn't the best in the world, but ... I'm wondering what Stephenie Meyer's got to say for herself now.

EDIT2: I read up more on the DEMON CHILD and I can't take it, THERE'S SO MUCH BLOOD. Ah well Sara, this is what happens when you ask book writers for gory, bloody endings. Avatar wouldn't give it to you, so ... eh, well the DEMON CHILD decided to oblige. Egghyuk. At least it's not boring. Completely weirded like palatypus crap, but nope, not boring.

Motivational speech free with every Happy Meal.

Mira: *yells at Nazim for drinking her Strawberry F&N*
Nazim: *giggles uncontrollably while fending off Mira*
Mira: *storms out of room*
Nazim: *still giggling*
Me: *very ticked off by all the yelling* Keluar!
Nazim: Hola!
Me: O_o;; Keluar!
Nazim: *still giggling, runs out of room*

Seriously. That boy does an awful lot of giggling.
Ooh, and a shout-out to Hannah's mom, who reads this web space. :D Hey Aunty!

Anyway, today wasn't as bad as I feared. Bio was incredibly fun. Laksh and I constantly related the Bio-topics to DEMON CHILD. Of course, none of you will understand what this DEMON CHILD is. Let me just say, when the time is right, and you ask me the right question, I might just enlighten you. ;)

Moving on, not everything was Fun and Laughter (tm) today. For one, I realised just what kind of effect Stupid Paper Monkey is having on our *ahem* society. Or maybe it's just the society itself. Whatever.

There are so many people who don't like school anymore. And that makes me sad. :( Not only that, but there's so much animosity flying all over the place. And people being depressed. And people who've just thrown caution to the winds and just don't care anymore.

Let's just say that the beginning of this year, everyone was so happy. I hope - no, pray - that I'll be able to see it again before we graduate. It's our last year, guys. I say we rock it. (I suggest doing the most awesome prank in SA history, but then again, that's just me wanting to act like Giggly!Jim in the first part of the post. And yeah, Jim is my pet name for Nazim. Yup. xD)

So let's give the remainder of the year our all, yeah? Maybe the teachers don't think that we live up to what our seniors built, but that doesn't mean we can't leave an impact on them. :) It's OK, it's alright, c'mon Form 5s ... fight fight FIGHT.

Ps. Blog Poll Numero Dos is up! Vote vote vote! :D

Scribble-mode and poll-analysing.

Updated my blog layout! :D My blog malfunctioned earlier this week and my layout went all wonky. That was why it was white all the time. I thought of putting the old blue-splatter up again, but felt like drawing something (I haven't touched Bamboo in two weeks!). So here's the new layout, complete with The Fish. Which is the name of the little leopard, by the way. He's the plushie I go to sleep with every night (other than Roony the homemade rabbit. lol.).

I coloured the same way I did for the SPMonkey some posts back. It's lotsa fun to do. I'm thinking of making a cutesy little-kids series of as many animals as I can. It's simple, and a great way to de-stress, compared to drawing one of my human characters and slapping the colours on (I've got like, ten unfinished drawings of characters from my SIPUT project story thing. And I don't think I ever will finish them.).

Anyway, blog poll results! According to the statistics ...
Many people enjoy good-looking villains over all other aspects. xD With the number of hot fictional villains out there? Buaha. (But yess, they are indeed hot.) And, people also like cookies. Nobody thinks that bad guys should be hated. Haha. Wow. xD I'll probably have another poll up in a while, I'll just have to think of one first.

And, well, that's all I have to say for the moment. Just a short, quick update. Ooh, and by the way, holler out which animal I can draw next. I don't guarantee that I'll get it done, but I'd appreciate the input anyways. ;) Ciao, guys.

Holy spoilery bad endings, vamp-man.

Remember the stuff I was referring to two posts ago?
About a book series?
And the lame ending?
And wanting an in-depth SPM-bio style study of vampire biology?
IT'S ALL TRUE.

EWW.
EW AGAIN.
It's so awful.

The loch ness monster livesss. Cheesily. And lamely. It lives. D:
I'm so so sorry, Twilighters.
I want to borrow the book from someone. I will not spend good money on Breaking Dawn when I could easily splurge on Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox and go crazy over the antics of a teenage genius.
Instead of crying/laughing hysterically over the epic fail that is the ending of Twilight.
Dude, I've seen fanfiction with better endings. Ugh. *facepalm*

*yanks tie*

School started off great, then ended on a note so bitter, I choked. Or rather, tried to with the stupid striped tie.

I mean, I was set to enjoy the best of school days, i.e. the kind that only has four subjects, one of which is put on hold where we have to go to a pretty fun ceramah. And also the kind where I get to talk all day long no problemo. I got to discuss the finer points of film and literature (Hehe, the Avatar finale and the latest Pendragon book) with Tarsha, have an easy-going Bio lesson (I love learning Bio when it's human-related), build plot-points with Nad, good food for recess (seriously, prefects? Really good food-providers. xD I'm lookin' at you, Nahjan and Anne.), and one of those Agama class days where Ustazah tells super-cool Rasul stories.

And then the last two periods arrived.

And all I have to say is: I am tired of this. I'm sick and tired of getting teachers who completely make me feel like hating English. The last English teacher I really enjoyed was Pn. C (Yup teacher, it was you in Form 1. ;] ). It's not teaching-wise ... but just the way they make me feel during class. And Pn. B is really nice, but I hate it when she starts going on about us not paying attention in class and about letters.

I understand that you've got to get the job done, but really, I get so so so tired. So so tired of how that's the first thing you ever say when you come into class. None of us have ever had to worry about frickin' letters. None of the other teachers seemed to care. Form 5 seems a lot too late to plant the habit into us, considering we're ready to not care anymore.

And then, to all those other people who make me want to choke myself with the stupid tie even more. No offence, fellow classmates; but really, when a teacher starts off on a tangent and tells you to shut up? SHUT THE HELL UP. STOP THE FREAKING GIGGLING. Almost every single class, guys. I want to tear my lungs out every time a teacher howls at us about paying attention. Not all of you, of course. Most of you are super-cool classmates. But some of you (or one of you, I can't really decide).

So yeah. I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I'm acting like a total a-hole right now. But I had to get this off my chest. Oh, and here's another thing I want to get off my chest:

Stop hushing people when you're the one who's making the noise, you moron. I'm quite aware that you want to be every teacher's bestest friend. Stupid hypocrite. Just because you throw the story in first doesn't make you the person in the right. You're like that stupid kid in The Pencil story in Form 1, when he stole the pencil and squealed to the teacher that the other kid tried to steal it from you first.

You make me sick.

Sigh. I was pissed off all the way outside the school gates, and even in the car when Mama picked me up. I cheered up considerably when she took us to Subang Parade to visit the fish spa ... y'know, just to give it a try. It was incredibly ticklish. xD I closed my eyes because every time I saw just how many little fishies were gnawing at my legs, I'd get all giddy. But I got used to it after five minutes. My legs were all smooth afterwards. And the skin on my hand is slightly better (all you people close to me, you know about my hand) ... I could actually clench it properly (the way you're supposed to in Taekwando), something I've had trouble doing since last year.

So I'm thankful that something sweet happened after all the bitterness. It was a ... cute experience. xD

Loch Ness Monster sized spoilers, lol.

So I've been hopping around, poking my nose in the business of fictional characters, if you will. Fun stuff, gossiping about fictional characters. For one, they'll never hunt you down and gossip about you back. Which is why I believe it is a reasonably safe hobby. (insert LOL here)

So I read a couple of spoilers about a certain book coming out in August. Good luck finding out what book it is, there are quite a few coming out this season. All kinds of epic series continuations, y'know? So all I can say is ... if these spoilers are true, and not an incredibly fanfiction-inspired load of mumbo-jumbo, I really do pity all the fangirls of the world. And yes, the blog title does have something to do with this. But you'll only get it after you know.

Ah well. If it is true, I will have something to laugh about in these dark times (meh, it's quite bright nowadays. And hot too.). But if it is true, I want a detailed description of vampire biology. Seriously.

Whoops, did I let something slip? *whistles and moves on*

Meanwhile, there is nothing interesting to note about school. I'm actually doing very well with catching up on my homework. But now I've got studying to catch up on. GRRAHHH damn you SA formative marks.

In other news, the Commonwealth Essay Competition results are out. I got a Highly Commended, which made me extremely happy. The results were supposed to be out on Monday, but there were technical difficulties and stuff ... so I was hanging around in suspense (Yes, I am indeed lame that way.). And when they did upload, I only saw two SA girls names, juniors. And I'm all: "Oh. Well. That's OK ... I still have next year. Yeah. *sadface*"

Then I scrolled back up to see if anyone I knew from other schools got certs. Then, I saw three SA names, which I didn't see the first time around. I saw Rui Rong ... then Nahjan ... then me. And I started squealing and grabbing Mira by the shoulders and going hyper. Alhamdulillah. This was the one individual-based competition I really wanted to excel in. So yes. They got Papa's name wrong (again) but that's alright. Man, that really gave me a high.

So yes. I am quite happy at the moment.

PS. 2 days left to vote on my poll! If you haven't, please do. I'm interested in seeing the final results (even though I pretty much know what the majority likes right now, harhar.).

The only reason I don't regret going to school on Saturday:

*During teacher-less classroom discussion on why we were in school on a Saturday morning*

Syar: Eh! Kucing! Kucing!
Everyone else: Huh? Where?
Me: *turns to right window* MONKEY!
Sophie: *running towards said window* MONKEY!
Everyone else: *also running towards windows* MONKEY! not kucing.
Monkey: *sitting on garden roof thingy* WTFish, crazy schoolgirls. :|
Sheren and Sophie: *makes faces* Hisssss.
Monkey: *bares teeth* Hisssss!
Everyone else: MONKEY ARRHHH OMG.
Me: *watching the hissing* Urm, I don't think we should -
Sheren and Sophie: *still hissing*
Monkey: *loses temper and moves towards us with death-glare face* >:(
Me: *slams window shut* CLOSE THE WINDOWS!
Everyone else: *panic, scream and slam windows shut* AAAAAAAARRRHHHHH!
Sheren: AH OMG, it programmed my face, IT'S OUT TO GET ME! I'm going to have to be protected ... like Chuck!
Me: By hot FBI agent?
Sheren: Ohhh yess.
Me: Male of course, unlike Chuck's.
Sheren: That too.

*temporary peace where everyone sits back down and laugh*
*Five minutes later*

Someone I can't remember: *points to left side of classroom* AAAHHH MONKEY AGAIN!
Everyone else: *Combination of yelling, slamming windows shut and wanting to see it* MONKEY!
Monkey: *walking along rainwater harvesting tank thingy* WTFish, they're still screaming at me. :|
Sheren: AAAHHH it's out to get me! D:
Sophie: We have to be protected!
5SB people plus Pn. Nitce: *run out of classroom* Huh? Monkey? Where?
Monkey: *has vamoosed*

So yeah. That's why I don't regret going.

This post has nothing to do with Physics.

So much 'background radiation' everywhere.
I'll stay out of it, but seriously, it feels like a cold war.
Sometimes I feel like throwing a punch at anyone - anything. Speaking of which, thanks Soph for being a real pal and letting me vent to you. ;)
But yeah.
I'm always the last person to know what's 'going on'. You guys talk about popular people, and I go, "Eh, who?" You guys talk about an event, and I'm like, "Since when ...?"
But now, I feel like I know too much.
I feel unclean.
*scrubs self vigorously*
Maybe ignorance really is bliss.

Oddity of Ends

I post too slow, I think. So many eventful things in life, so little blog posts! I didn't even talk about My Epic Weekend. So I will, just 'cause it was the most epic fun I've had in terms of fangirling. First, I watched Dark Knight (cue "Oooh" sound). Then, I finished reading Pendragon: Raven Rise (cue "Aaah" sound). Then, I went online, still reeling from the awesome and shock that was the book, only to find that the Avatar: The Legend of Aang finale had already shown in the US and had been posted online (cue whistles and applause). It was the best cartoon finale I've ever watched in EVER.

Seriously, it was like an overdose of Good Stuff. I was high for most of the weekend and Monday. It was so good, my dreams consisted of me being a Traveler from the Pendragon books, having to hide away some secret book. Most of the dream consisted of me actually able to make decisions, as if I was awake. Shasha was in my dream. xD And Loor, from the Pendragon books. Grampa dude from the Ben10 cartoon was there. And River Phoenix, dressed up as he was in Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade. Georgina from Gossip Girl made an appearance (she was in kahoots with the evil bad guy, who was Saint Dane - also from the Pendragon books). And ... I could've sworn Prince Zuko was somewhere lurking in the background. Can't be too sure. Oh, and the rock used in last year's drama team was essential to our secret mission. Then there was a nightclub, and Pn. Alainal. O_o Yes. That was the weirdest part, actually. And there was dancing. Lots of dancing and neon lights.

One of the weirdest dreams ever. Even tops the one I had two years ago about Batman and Borders (the book store) and the mysterious "Jagged S".

Wow, typing all this out has made me feel loads better. :) Because there were some events of this morning that managed to kick my spirit around again. Seriously, I have to give it a tougher skin.

Hear that? Tougher skin. Which is exactly the reason why I was miserable. Or rather, the lack of it developing. Making no sense? This is intentional. Remember Wormtail? From Harry Potter? Yeah. He wasn't a very nice guy. :( I feel sorry for Sirius, James and Lupin. Poor things. They were like BFFs, but now they're BFFs - 1.

Or, they're nothing at all, 'cause they're dead. Because JK Rowling killed 'em all.

Ouch. Tragic.

It's nearly ...

The AVATAR FINALE is online.
I can't believe it's ending.
Should I watch it all now, or just half or not at all?
...
I think I'll watch just half. Prolongs the roller coaster ride.
*goes into fangirl-mode*
