My Very Own Facebook Account!

Last paper...Chemistry...

...and it's DONE!!!!!

Finally...11 days (for me) of paper, paper and PAPER!!!
(...Not that I don't like paper...in fact, I face paper everyday---while drawing)

Anyway, as I have promised many of my friends...(since SPM is over)

I'm opening a FACEBOOK ACCOUNT!!!

By the way, don't expect me to be so active =.=
I'm not a facebook freak...Oh well...


And guess what? The very moment I signed up and confirmed my email address...

...BOOM! 7 people requesting to be my friend! (O_o)
Some I know, some I have no idea who they are O_o (sorry if I ignored you whoever you are lol)

*scratch* *scratch* I'm such a n00b at this =.=

Anyway...my account name is...

GUESS WHAT???

It's Cynthia Chee (LOL)

Well...nothing else here...

Later~

Final Pre-SPM Post

Yes...it's only two days before the big moment...

But why am I still online?
GOOD QUESTION...


...WITHOUT A GOOD ANSWER o_O


Nothing much to post here, really...

Just wanna wish all Form 5-ers good luck and all...

And yes...in case you're still wondering...my drawing habits never die...
I'm STILL DRAWING!!!!!

By the way...if you're looking for motivation before your exams, I certainly recommend that you do so.

...It helps more than you'd think it would.


In a strange way, it gives you a kind of...

...peace in mind.


My next post will be (obviously) after SPM is over.

Good luck, everyone!!!

Sunshine and Hope!

Dang...8 more days! And it's already night, so count that as 7!
It's finally...one digit O_o

My feeling is like..."Oh well..."

But a few minutes later, I go "OH CRAP!!!"

And then I cool down again O_o

In other words, I can't describe my feelings properly <_<

Anyway, here are some of my favourite 'quotes' from my autograph book~!
I won't tell who wrote what though, that's for you to guess! (If you can, that is)

Also, take note that some of them may belong to the same person xD


"Mess with me and you're dead." <---(O.O)

"Anything could make one's smile is the best 'anti-depressant'"

"I STILL COULDN'T READ YOUR COMIC BOOK!" <--(Eheh, sorry-lor...)

"The first step in the acquisition of wisdom is silence....." <---(This is only a part of it, but it's good to use this phrase against someone who just annoy you and can't shut up xD)

"The world is full of stories and from time to time, they permit themselves to be told."

"Between tomorrow's dream and yesterday's regret is today's opportunity!"

"P.P.S: C.Y.N.T.H.I.A, you're a clever, creative, caring, young, hot, interesting, intelligent, active, agressive (wakakaka!!) and ambitious friend." <---(I HAD to read twice when I saw 'hot' xD Now's that's what I call unexpected!)

"What is a fren? A single soul in two bodies."

"It's better to die for something than to live for nothing" <---(emo-ness O.o)

"Precaution: Being fren is an irreversible reaction. Friends forever, t = ∞" <---(Quite obvious to know who, eh?)

"If you are a chocolate you are the sweetest, if you are a Teddy Bear you are the most huggable, if you are a star you are the brightest, and since you are my friend you are the 'BEST'!!"

"A friend is sweet when it's new...but it is sweeter when it's TRUE! But you know what? It's sweetest when it's you."

"The man of wisdom is never of two minds; The man of benevolence never worries; The man of courage is never afraid."

"Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow; Don't walk behind me, I may not lead; Walk beside me and just be my friend."

"Study more but not to be a nerd girl" <---(Nerd!? O_o)

"A ship in harbour is safe, but that is not what ships are for."

"If you need a friend and there are a hundred steps between us, you can take the 1st step to get near me and I will take all 99 steps to be there for you..." <---(Awww~)

"We've known each other by CHANCE, became friends by CHOICE, still friends by DECISION, and when we say FRIENDS FOREVER, that's definitely a lifetime PROMISE!" <---(How do people come up with these cool words-lah?! I'm so impressed X.X)

"With clothes the new are the best, with friends the old are the best..."

"A circle is round and has no end, that's how long I want to be your friend!!"

"Friends are like peanut butter, It sticks to the roof of your mouth, Like a friend sticks to you, And it feels as if they never go away!"

"In years to come, some day we will meet again. Then I hope to get the chance to call you 'Dr. Chee'"

"At first, you appeared as an enemy to me, After a year, you've become my close friend." <---(Enemy turned friend? lol)

"We shall soon walk our own paths...But never shall we forget those who have made our journey so far all the more memorable..." <---(Aiyah...ok-lah...this is mine =.=)


I do cherish every single entry...they are all so heartwarming...
Reading them gives me a really fuzzy feeling...and also a bit of sadness...

But then...this is part of life, no?

Thank you, friends!
Lots and lots of love to you guys... *tears welling*

Just because SPM is coming soon, there's always time for friendship!

*****Later~*****

Correction: Always~~~ and forever~~~!!!

Autograph...

There isn't much time left until school ends...
Not much longer until we Form Five students become former students...

Sure, some of us may continue to be together as if by fate, but most us.....will say bye-bye.

But then, what is important is cherishing the laughter and joy that we shared.
Maybe many, many years after this...when we have all become 'asau' and 'apek' then we can laugh at each other's grey hair and wrinkles. xD

But the friendship is still good as new.

I, being the old-fashioned one, used my birthday present (autograph book) and asked some people to write in it. It's just that something written personally gives you a very.....warm and fuzzy feeling...(maybe it's just me, but I like it this way)

14 years: Tung
Tung, oh Tung xP
From arguing over a toy in nursery, to dancing in the classroom in primary school...
...and now we still laugh over small matters in secondary school xD
Fourteen years, man! Surely it can go longer than that ^^

11 years: Lim Jun Yee (a.k.a. Patrick xD)
Though we've been separated for I-don't-know-how-many-years before getting back to the same class xP. I tease him a lot, and vice versa.

10 years: Brian
The naughty kid, and I often tease him of having 'diarrhoea' (ask him for explanation). I can never imagine Brian as being emo and dull xD

10 years: Chiew Pui Syam a.k.a. Piggy-chan
One of the few who I'm not (entirely) afraid to show my drawings to xP. The hardworking Queen Guide, and I think her personality really goes well with Olivia's (don't ask me why, I don't know how to explain it).

10 years: Jason
Yep, though he used to be kinda annoying last time...but he's quite a fun guy actually. We do talk about lots of different things, and we never get bored >.<

9 years: Crystal
9 years, lots of laughter and a crap load of girl-talk xD. She's the more mature one (though she's 8-9 months younger than I am) and she's a few inches taller *envious* (it used to be the other way round in primary school O_o)... Anyway, our friendship is as clear as crystal!

9 years: Olivia
Lots and lots of hugging and talking nonsense <_<. But I truly admire her outgoing and friendly personality. Also, her handwriting will always be of that huge size xD.

5 years: Lai Kien Hiung (or as Tung and I liked to tease him last time, Chicken Breast Meat xD xD xD)
He's a cool and smart guy. (Though I sometimes have a problem reading his handwriting), we often agree on many things. We talk about the future a lot (and I mean A LOT)...and he's very updated when it comes to electronics and automobiles.

2.5 years: Lai Hsiang Juin (a.k.a. SoLai, as I often call him)
2 years plus+++ but he deserves a place in this blog (and the second one to write in the book). He calls me "Yi Min" (y'know...a type of noodles =.=) and I call him SoLai (and ask him to change 'L' to 'H'). I punch him (a lot) and he gives me thousands of funny reactions xD

2.5 years (I guess maybe 3, but oh well) : Vun Jun Kent (a.k.a. 'dei' or 'bugger', whichever suits the situation)
The super-nerd and Physics + Add. Maths genius. Sure, his 'scientific terms' are always included in his conversation, and he often mistakes 'he' with 'she' (which makes SoLai often the poor sex-changed victim). His spelling mistakes are always present, even when the word is given. But above all that, he's a helpful and very generous guy.

2 years: Yee Ming Kang (a.k.a. William Bunsen Crimson Sunny Yee Ming Kang xD)
I asked him about his plans for the future, and he told me a few things.

Case 1:
Yee: I want to be a baker. Like in Yakitate! Japan.

Case 2:
Yee: I will be in Daniel Tan's band. He plays, I sing, and we create the anime soundtracks. You draw the anime. (LOL)

2 years: Kok Chee Yung (a.k.a. Ribena)
He's often funny, but really, really hardworking and I'm his unofficial teacher~ I would always warm him that I'd punch the living daylights out of him if he were to ever give up xP

2 years: Leong Ming Chen
Kok's beloved friend and *ahem* partner. I asked him to support him and also punch him if Kok gives up xP. (Don't worry, I also warned Leong)


Sure, there are a lot more, but it's kinda late at night...(10-something is late!)
So, later~
(...but never forget)

Kiasu-ness

"Come on lah, just admit it!"
"Just say it out lah!"
"It's so damn obvious lah..."

I've been getting a lot of these phrases (or similar) these days...

I'm not mad or annoyed or anything, but I personally dislike it when I am told things like that...

When I am asked about my results, if I don't say anything, they say that I'm too proud to share it with them.

...And when I answer their question, they say I am too proud until I want to boast my marks.

Come on lah =.= In that case, I can never be humble???

And what's more frustrating, is that I can't talk to others normally...even when I try.
Among the replies I get are:

"You don't need to talk to us. Your standard is too 'high' for us."
"You no need to study also can score lah!!"
"Aiyaaa...no need to study lar you!"
"So what did you do at home? Study all day long?"
"I don't want to disturb you oh...studying there all the time..."

Wei, I'm not a robot! =.=
Call me geeky if you may, but personally I think that some of my results aren't actually that good...

And some people are so kiasu when it comes to marks.
Yes, I am kiasu (I admit it) but not kiasu to the point that I become kiasi...!
SOME PEOPLE.....(correction: some KIASU people)...seem to enjoy hunting down my marks to compare...

I don't mind, go ahead =.= but at least do it HONESTLY LAH!!!
SO KIASI UNTIL YOU WANT TO LIE SO MUCH MEH?!?!

...Ooops...sudden unintended burst of fury.....

Anyway, things don't look too good now...

19 MORE DAYS!!!

I saw that on the board today, but I felt nothing.
I looked at the calendar, and it started to dawn on me.

OMG!!! I haven't started revision!!! (Ever since after exams, that is)

I've gotta do something...=.=

...Later...

Countdown...

I stare at that black-red board right at the school's basketball court.

I look closely and keep staring in disbelief.
26 DAYS TO SPM?!?!
And that was YESTERDAY. TODAY, IT'S 25 DAYS.

How the heck did it come so fast?!
I mean, on the very first day of exams, there were 42 days left.
Now yesterday was my last day of school exams (because I take Arts too).

What a huge waste of time...
Sure, some argue that all these Excel and Exams can "force" us to study so that we are more prepared.
But I really do not believe that "last minute" preparations count as "preparations" at all.

Anyway...what to do...it has passed...no use wasting more time blabbering about it now...

By the way, here's a snippet that went through my mind yesterday...

***BEFORE BIO EXAMS(revising)***
Hareesh: (from across the classroom) Cynthia...!!!
Cyn: *looks at him* Yeah??
Hareesh: Help!!!
Cyn: *goes from one end of the classroom to the other* What is it?
Hareesh: *points at reference book* What the hell is this??!!
Cyn: *starts explaining*

***AFTER EXAMS a.k.a. YESTERDAY***
Hareesh: How much you got for Bio?
Cyn: 47...
Hareesh: Yes!!! First time I beat you!
Cyn: *stares* ...48?
Hareesh: *nod* *nod*
Cyn: *in awe*

I still find it amazing...O_O
How one can improve so much like that...I'm impressed! xD

Later~!

Bill's Gate's 11 points of advice to youngsters...

Hello! Another post~ Wee~~~

Let's get to the point now...
I found this newspaper article (in Chinese, which I can't read...unfortunately...but good thing it has English translation!)

The article is quite old...(2006) but quality is what I want!
It's entitled...(according to my lousy Chinese to English self-translation)

Bill Gate's 11 points of advice to youngsters
Yep, Bill Gates - the richest guy on Earth and the proud owner of Microsoft.
Now...why would it be on a CHINESE newspaper...? I don't know xD

1. Life is not fair, get used to it.
A hit below the belt to those who think that life is merely for enjoying. Yeah, you need to enjoy life, but you have to know the right way to do so.

2. The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself.
In other words, don't just sit there and wait for fortune to come flying towards you! You won't be considered "quality" unless you prove it.

3. You will not make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice president with a car phone, until you earn both.
Yep...don't dream too much. You have to walk the talk.

4. If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn't have tenure.
Don't think what you're suffering now is...well...suffering...at least until you grow up and face life for real.

5. Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping, they called it opportunity.
In other words, don't look down on things that may seem petty...you'll never know what it brings!

6. If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about our mistakes, learn from them.
Look at yourself in the mirror, then start to whine...and think of how to prevent that in the future.

7. Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bill, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents' generation, try 'delousing' the closet in your own room.
I like this one xP...and how we're called 'parasites'. xD

8. Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades; they'll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to anything in real life.
If you think that you can just simply fail something and try again (like in school), think again. Reality doesn't give you a chance to rise above unless you can actually correct your mistakes and let go of that "Oh, I'll fail...but it's not like I can't try again" attitude.

9. Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.
Basically, you need to be prepared to face life...even in situations out of your own comfort zone.

10. Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Don't just wish to enjoy ALL the time-get up and do soem work!

11. Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
Hah! Take that to all those who tease me of being a "nerd"!!!

Well, that's it...
Never thought typing could be so tiring...
I understand now, newpaper editors....X.X

Later~!

Boundaries

Finally, an update!

Well, it's not like there's really anything interesting to blog about...
(Why else do you think I'm so lazy to update this?)

Anyway, since there's not much of a topic here, let's BLAH!

First of all, there have been numerous people trying to test my patience recently.

I mean, I've been holding it in, thinking to myself that the &*(#$%&^ doesn't deserve my concern or attention...but yesterday...

Yesterday, I nearly blew.
I was on the verge of spouting vulgar trash at the #$&^*@#, but my conscience stopped me just in time.
Hey, I'm not against freedom of expression, but there are certain boundaries that I've set for myself to keep behind.

I ain't gonna go across that boundary I've so carefully set just for one useless person.
Why would I break my own record (in a bad way) just because of someone who's so insignificant in my life?
In fact, there's no way I'll let anyone at all drag me past the border.

So, sure it took me a few aching minutes to cool down, but at the end, telling myself that I did what was most probably right...
Mentally, I gave myself a pat on the back, telling myself "Good job".
I felt like kicking myself for even wanting to punch that person to high heaven and low hell, but then What the heck! It's the success at controlling myself that matters.

Besides, ever since a child, I was taught not to humiliate others, be it directly or not.
Yeah, I DO talk about their weaknesses, but I try to only say what is true.
Humiliation would be spouting unnecessary crap about someone, which I have experienced quite frequently.

And yeah, it happened yeaterday too.
I won't blab out the #$*(%&#('s name, because that person doesn't deserve to have any place in this blog, nor any place in my life, or any place in SOCIETY.

Whatever these kinds of people (who have nothing else to do but scar the honour of others) plan to do with their flaws, I couldn't care less.
I'll just play my part and keep myself behind that boundary.

If you want to mess with me, go ahead. You won't get anything in return.
But I can tell you this: you have no rights or any existence in my life.

Ta-ta~

On-The-Spot?!

I've realized how long it has been since my last update...
But I really have nothing much to type...
I guess I do now, but I can't guarantee it to be interesting...

It's already August!
How time flies, huh?

On Friday, when I woke up from my "nap", my mom waved an envelope in front of me...

I looked at it in a daze, and though it looked blur at the moment, I could see my full name printed on it.

I opened it carefully...What a thick envelope...
And guess what?

A letter from The One Academy!

It congratulates me, telling me that I'm chosen to participate in the On-The-Spot
competition at Bandar Sunway late August...

Holy crap! On The Spot?!?!
Bandar Sunway!?!?

My first thought wasn't OMG I'M CHOSEN!!!
but instead, OMG is it safe to go there???

Oh well...O_o

Later...

Mid-term holidays...?

Current condition: Bleh...
Current mood: <_<

Finally...another chance to update this dusty blog...

Well, what do I say? The mid-term holidays are almost over...

And what did I do for the past two week?

Play, Sleep, Draw.

Not only that, of course...

I went to practice the drama for BM oral test several times...
so far still not completed...

AND

I spent day and night, day and night...
Doing the #$&^ing Seni project...

I have to admit it:
1) I am not a crafts-lover --- in fact, I really dislike it.
2) I HATE the smell of UHU glue...or whatever glue that has that GLUE smell...
3) I am annoyed by cleaning jobs and also peeling off the "skin" on my fingers when glue is dried...

But every single day...for the past two weeks...
I've been doing crafts and crafts and crafts...
I've been inhaling LOTS and LOTS of UHU glue...and I doubt that it'll be over anytime soon...
I've been sweeping and vacuuming the floor, peeling that "skin" off again and again...
Cardboard, polystryrene, nylon, coloured paper, coloured cloth, acrylic paint, YOU NAME IT.

The BAD thing is:
I don't know what this UHU chemical stuff can do to our bodies...but I know it ain't good... It's just as bad as inhaling petrol: just found out today-the hard way.
I don't know how much damn longer do I need to take to finish this...
I don't think I can ever sit down peacefully and continue my drawing...sigh...
I lost count of how much $$$ I used for this project <_<>

The GOOD thing, though is:
I THINK I'm getting a bit better at crafts...I guess...

Lessons learned:
1) Keep your finger at a safe distance when using a pen knife!
2) Scissors to cut cloth shouldn't be used to cut paper and vice versa.
3) UHU glue MELTS (that's the only way I can describe it) polystyrene...found out the hard way... they react chemically, so double tape would be a better choice...T_T

Oh well...tomorrow I gotta continue...again...

Later...
