Today is another one of my double-post days...
In 30 minutes, I will no longer be 15 years old...

SWEET SIXTEEN U_U

Thinking about it...makes me feel.........old....T_T

Reminiscence of past events...the happy and sad moments...
Sigh...
It's time to start anew... the bad things I've done...the pain I may have caused yet be oblivious to...what do I do with them?
PARSSHHHH!!! Flush down the toilet~
And as we all know, when we flush the toilet, the dirty stuff is replaced with clean water...

It's time to start anew...
It's time...

An outing

Current music: Gorillaz - Tomorrow Comes Today
Current condition: Rejuvenated~
Current mood: Post-going out for 6+ hours traumatic syndrome <_<

Last night was the longest (and funnest) outing I've had this year <_<
There was a dinner at the Jade Restaurant (at Trig Hill near the Tower).
It was a Steamboat - Buffet ^^
It was supposed to be at 6:30 p.m., but we ended up arriving SLIGHTLY late due to several factors:
Crystal had to wait for her parents to pick her up.
Stephanie was follow Crystal, so oh well...
David was frustratingly waiting for Ms. Lat to fetch him, but Ms. Lat was waiting for:
- Catherina who claimed she has low blood, and overslept. =.=
- Tung who also overslept, but eventually went with his mother.
and then there's Olivia who was the earliest of the H.O.P.E. members to be there,
and me who also went with Ms. Lat

So last night we makan-makan until really full xD and chit-chat...a lot...
then later we went for a "stroll" around the park...in the dark night...

Well, for those who don't know, in Trig Hill near the park there is a monument - a statue of the founder of the place. Nothing much-lah, but I've got to admit...it DOES look kinda creepy at night... In daytime the statue in some kind of black colour, but at night it looks almost gold in colour O_O...

So we went for a mini stroll...
I was in front at first, then I spotted in the shadows...two legs entwined...
and then I thought..."What are they...?!"
And as I got closer, the light finally shined on them fully and I saw that instead of doing *beep* *beep* they were merely a couple with the girl sitting on the guy's lap and *smoochy smoochy*
So what to do? Ignore lo...if I keep staring at them macam orang gila tak pernah nampak aje...<_< style="font-weight: bold;">REAL LIFE, and even worse, not RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME...)

Just as David said, there are many cases of condoms being found in this place =.=
And as I name this place, the red-light district of Sandakan.

Anyway, we continued to walk, then we made a turn...then suddenly Catherina turned back...
Cath: Why is the statue gone already?!
(Then tiba-tiba I heard one of them scream, but dunno who exactly, and the whole gang except me ran away) <--- leaving me there to catch up with them.
Cyn: Oi, what's wrong oh? Like that also run away...<_<

Then later in Ms. Lat's car, we were about to go for a MOVIE~ (my second time to the cinema this year, my first being with my family)
***In the car***
Cyn: You know...I dunno why, but this reminds me of Scooby Doo and his gang =.= David is Shaggy, since Fred is always the one driving, so Ms. Lat is Fred...
Ms. Lat: Fred? Fred is the handsome one right?
(lol xD)
Ms. Lat: Then who's the dog? (Scooby)
David: Catherina!
Cath: Yerrr~!
Ms. Lat: So, Tung. Do you have low blood?
Tung: O_o??
Ms. Lat: Because that is the reason Catherina gave for oversleeping, so that means you too-lah.
Tung: xD

Then we went to buy the tickets, it was Tung's first time at the Sandakan cinema in his life O_o
In the cinema Crystal kept awing over the posters, saying "I'm gonna watch this!" and "This is a must-watch!" (everything for her is a must-watch xD <---movie freak, as she says)
After buying the tickets, we went to kill time at the cafe...aiyaa...forgot what name already...Oh yeah! Champ's Cafe'. It's sort of like a cafe-bowling centre...

As if we hadn't eaten enough, we ordered French Fries (RM 7), CBRC *something* some sort of ice-cream (RM 7), Peach Melba <---another ice-cream (RM 5), and Hawalian Boat (the misspelling is in the menu xD) <---yet another ice-cream (RM 7)
So we ate and ate and ate....guh...and played with the mini-umbrella that came with the Hawalian Boat (for decoration purposes)...

Then we rested and chat for a while, and went to the movies...
But THEN, as if THEY hadn't eaten enough, xD they bought drinks and popcorn...
The movie we watched was 10, 000 B.C.. There were a few parts that kinda confused me, but overall it was a pretty good movie - except for Cath and David's constant chattering xD
I kept quiet throughout the movie because that's what I do all the time...focus on the movie.
Then Ms. Lat sent all of us home... I finally BATHED (since school <_<). And slept lor...

Infamous quotes throughout the outing...

Cath: I have low blood-bah...

Crystal: Very nice oh, the tung-fun...
Cyn: It's tung-fun lah... xD (She pronounced it wrongly... it's actually a slightly higher tone, but she pronounced it like "Tung is fan <---very frustrated" when tung-fun is actually a kind of vermicelli xD

Cath: Why is the statue gone geh?!

David: Nah, you see... just now we went one round and Stephanie is gone... (actually Stephanie went home) and now we're going another round and Olivia is going... (home xD)
One by one disappearing...

Olivia: Bye, everyone! I go home lor!
Cyn, Crystal, Tung, Cath: Bye! Take care...
David: Don't pok-kai ah! (Apalah David ni... pok-kai = something like hapus or mampus like that)

Crystal: Indiana Jones! I'm gonna watch this, I don't care! And this one! Starring Rain, the Korean star...I wanna watch this oh!
David: Everything also you wanna watch lah.

Cyn: You're not taking the 10 cent change?
David: Aiyah...tips mah...
Cyn: Ok-loh, then I take...
David: Woii...put it back eh... (the he took out another 10 cent from his wallet and put it to replace xD)

(During the movie)
Cath: The girl so pretty oh!
Cyn & Ms. Lat: Shhh!!!

(At the near-end of the movie)
Cath: *claps hands* Wooo!

(In the car)
Ms. Lat: Next time I don't want to bring David and Catherina to watch movie lor! So noisy!
Crystal: Yealor...but why Cynthia so quiet?
David: So maybe next time Ms. Lat only want to bring her for movie.

*another scene in the car*
David: Ms. Lat? I thought I heard something...
Cyn: I heard the opposite of Heaven...
Ms. Lat: Itulah you guys! Bad influence!
Cyn: So next time you don't want to talk to us anymore xD

Well...I guess that's it...super long post...
Later~

Current music: Onoken - Felys
Current game: Stepmania, Audiosurf
Current condition: Yesterday - Worn out. Today - Still fine...
Current mood: Mixed feelings...

Yet another long week has gone by, but next week will be another long one...
I myself am surprised by how many things have happened all in one week...
Some of my buddies and teachers may know some of what happened as they're involved in my life xD but they don't know what happens "behind the scenes".
Behind the scenes? Means what goes on in my mind the whole time.
It's something like the Malay poem in the Form 4 Komsas book
(trasnlation) The wound and bleeding on your arm can be seen,
But the wound in your heart - who knows?

Ok, there's not really a "wound" in my heart =.= just some inner thoughts and expressions.
Let me reveal some of them ^^ (since it's a good thing to share right? =.=)

Monday, 24th March 2008 (I think)
Harikesh: OI, CYNTHIA
Cyn: *jolt* <---terkejut (about half the class laughed <_<)
Harikesh: Someone's looking for you.
Cyn: ?
Person: Ms. Lat is looking for you in 3E.
Cyn: Oh...ok. (Inner thought: Uh oh...)

In 3E...

Cyn: *knocks, greets teacher and goes in*
Ms. Lat: This Thursday you need to get ready the activities for English Club. Do you remember what activities?
Cyn: (Inner thought: Oh man...T_T) Err...station games, I think.
Ms. Lat: Ok, so need to use the Astaka. Get it done by Thursday, ok? *explain some more, but malas type so long*
Cyn: (Inner thought: Mommy...) Ok.

Tuesday, 25th March 2008
Cyn: Elliot! We need to discuss about this Thursday.
Elliot: (he was walking with Harikesh that time) Oh...ok.
Harikesh: Elliot! Don't care about this freak-lah. Come on! (Inner thought: Freak? FREAK?!?!)
Elliot: No, I want to go! Because if I become a good assistant then she can recommend me and next year I'll take over her position *grins*
Cyn: *laughs* (Inner thought: Wah...so eager...)

Thursday, 27th March 2008
Crystal: *accidentally pushes my water bottle...and all the water splash out, leaving the bottle empty* Oh, sh...! <---she didn't really say it, ok? She stopped at "sh" xD
Cyn: O_o..... *speechless*
Crystal: Sorry, Cynthia!
Cyn: No, no...it's okay. (Inner thought: My WATER!!! T_T)

And later during co-cum time, the students are SURPRISINGLY EXTREMELY PASSIVE =.=

Cyn: Okay, so now this is your theme, and you need to make a yell about it, understand?
Students: *silence*
Cyn: Err...do you know what's a yell?
Students: *silence*
Cyn: ..... (says to Janice) I'm talking to thin air... <_<

Only a few groups are considered active...like Cason's and Amanda's group...others are like... NIL...U_U I don't mean to critisize or anything, but they should speak up bah...
And I don't see a single hint or teamwork and cooperation... A small group, like 3 or 4 students discussing their yell while the others stand in the back like cameos =.= Oh well...what to do... some people are really shy...

Moving on to the next topic...TESTS...
Yeah...when the Form 3 and Form 5 students have their EXCEL PMR/SPM tests, we Form 4 students have what I like to call Test-Spam =.= or Hujan Ujian or if you want the Mandarin version then kao shi (shi not as in test, but shi as in mati kokok).
So the normal kao3 shi4 becomes kao3 shi3. <_<

They say Physics is the easiest among the 3 Science subjects, Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
But if you ask me, I don't see any difference-lah... sama saja =.=

They say Mathematics is fairly easy, but Additional Mathematics can be expected to get "fail".
BUT if you ask me...<_< Additional Mathematics is easier to grasp the concept... <--- or maybe it's just something wrong with me?

They say EST is a nonsense subject and doesn't need revision.
BUT if you look at SPM statistics, how come some can score As in the hard subjects but B in EST?! I know there are specific formats-lah, but you still can't ignore what they say about EST being nonsense right?! It's just contradictory!!!

They say Sivik is a non-exam version of P. Moral, and is a waste of time.
But if you ask me, I'd rather have Sivik compulsory and Moral a non-exam subject because then we won't have to memorize those 36 moral/values <_<

They say girls are better in Chemistry, boys in Physics and both bad in Biology *lol*
But if you ask me................I don't know what to think *lol*

They say that the selfish and manipulative students always get the highest marks and the best results.
Okay, WHAT?! They've gotta be kidding. I mean, COME ON...it's true to some extent that many smart students can be cheeky and cunning, but exactly how many people like to be around them?! Even if they're smart, what's the big point? The current trend right now is "get all As, get all As" so students become cheating machines lor hor?
Sorry, just expressing my opinion... but I do very well know a handful of people who're like that. However, I won't mention any of them, but I'll give a hint.
One of them is the infamous bugger who has made so many appearances in my few previous posts...But now, he/she has a new nickname - thanks to Brian and his subordinates
Infamous bugger = Tandas bergerak = Moving toilet = The reason why he/she is called this shall be kept secret

That is all for now. I hope I won't have to mention him/her in my future posts (not that I want to, but it can't be helped...)

Later~

My Mini Gallery

Current music: Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends (long time liao...but just listen-lah... finally a song that you recognize, eh?)
Current game: Worms 4: Mayhem, Audiosurf :D (It's kinda like a game...I guess)
Current condition: Normal
Current mood: Neutral
OK...first things first... If you do not like to read/do not want to know/(or whatever reason...) about my drawing (again...I know...very leceh right?) then I advise you to leave immediately, and patiently wait till my next post xD because this post is ALL about art. Please do so NOW.






































Ui? Still here? Ok-lah...fine... Before I start, I would like to explain my reason for this post.
Some annoying classmate (assume him/her to be A.C.) I won't mention his/her name, coz nanti he/she will come and beat me up...I know you're reading this, A.C.. Observe as I keep your identity a secret =.=. And just so you know, this A.C. is NOT the bugger I mentioned in the few previous posts. This A.C. is at least 10 times better. (A.C. you'd better be grateful for me saying that <_<)>de a bet. If I win, A.C. would give me RM 1 (sure it's not much...but for a broke person like me it's better than nothing). But if A.C. wins, (I expected A.C. to ask for money or stuff or something) but instead, I had to post at least 2 pictures from each of my 10 books in my blog.

And guess what?
I lost the bet. T_T


Cyn: ?! What?! Oi...paiseh lah...(paiseh = figure it out yourself >.<)
A.C.: What paiseh paiseh oh...do you know why I do this?
Cyn: ?
A.C.: So that you'll have the guts, not be so secretive and show something!
Cyn: *baffled* ..............
A.C.: So, I want you to post 2 pics from each book. I let you choose-lah...take the good good ones so that you won't be so embarrassed.
Cyn: .....scan or PC Camera? Malas scan-lah...
A.C.: Aiyah...PC Camera-lah...as long as can see...

Well, I've gotta tell you...It IS BLUR (like in my previous post), but I hope it can be seen, so that Annoying Classmate will be satisfied.

A.C.: Don't let me down. I'll be checking your blog.
Cyn: .............

There...enough with the babbling...let's just get this over with... There's been a lot of improvement (though it doesn't look that obvious...) and I'm quite surprised at the difference... (of course I don't show the difference >.<>

Here are two from my FIRST book, which I started late last year...around November or December...


Ignore the yellow-thingy hehe... and what big eyes she have O_o...


Guy: Don't look eh...paiseh betul...
Even I feel paiseh looking at him <_<>Hard to believe that these two simple pics are my BEST from book 1 T_T...

Oh well...here's the SECOND book... a little better, but still not as good...
Somehow she looks sad O_o...

Reminds me of Crystal and I xD (except that we're girls and they're guys...)

Now, from Book No. 3! (Note that Book 1 - I forgot the number are mainly on portraits an expression... the action and sceneries come in later books)
dui mian de ni hai kan guo lai~


kan guo lai~ kan guo lai~
(if you know the song you'll know what it means lol)
Translation: The girl next door, look this way, look this way...look this way...

Book no. 4...getting better...I hope


Girl: ...... *doesn't dare say anything coz she's being looked at by YOU*


I like it when they do this...looks so...so...cool.....

Ok...time for the fifth book...


"I know I look weird, so could you please stop staring?"


I LIKE THIS ONE!!! Even though it looks kinda plain...I like the perspective...
Perspective drawing is NOT easy, you know.
It's not easy, Mr. "I can draw better than you!"

Ok...moving on to the 6th book...U_U


This is obviously not one of my best *lol* but I put this here for a reason...


Tung: Whoa! Why is that eye staring at me?! So scary... *imagine Tung reading this and looking dumbfounded*

Book SEVEN!!!


One of the best hands I've drawn at that time...


Good friends...(I seldom draw happy people laughing together so this is rare >.<) And now Book 8...! Almost there...


Sad...? Worried...?


WOI!!! Don't jump!!!

Phew...now for the ninth book...one more left after this...



No matter what...I can't get enough of this pose! It looks so cool U.U (to me, at least)
(and it's perspective again...though not that obvious...it's from the top)


Geh!!! This is a VERY SMALL version of what took me nearly an hour to finish... first, have to draft the perspective point, then draw the buildings (hard to see in this small version but visible in the original) then rub a large part of the buildings to draw that weird swirly thing...) Definitely the hardest to do in the whole 9th book <_<>

And now...the TENTH book!!! Dum Dum Dum DUUMMMMM!!!!!
(these are probably not the best, but since I haven't finished...I just started actually...just give a little preview lah...)

Just drawn these pics yesterday/today...

Noticed that I've actually found the diligence to shade my drawings <_< Starting Book 10, I'm gonna shade and add more detailed backgrounds to my drawings...as painful as it sounds...

That means it's gonna take a longer time for me to finish one book O_o...

...finally...


"Whatcha lookin' at?"



Geh...enough! Enough!!! That's all for now *hides* Flame, comment...whatever...
I guess that's it...

Later...~

10th Book Anniversary

Current music: Jimmy Eat World - Hear You Me
Current manga: Doubt
Current game: Worms 4: Mayhem (Yay~ :D)
Current condition: Feel better after lots of sleep xD
Current mood: Quite good, I suppose

Guess what?!
I've finally (just yesterday) reached my TENTH BOOK~!
(okay...it DOES look very blurry...but at least it's still readable... I'm using my almost-broken
PC Camera here...lazy to use scanner xD)

ANYWAY...people said I'm crazy xD
Ok-lah...admit it lah...but not completely crazy...just a little ^^

And what shall I do?
Of course, I'll keep on drawing...


(nice perspective xD and that's my favourite Papermate Pacer 300 pencil xD)

...and sometimes need to erase a bit...

(that's the type of eraser I use while drawing...for bigger "mistakes" I use the normal, big one ^^)

...but still, I'll keep on drawing!

(...can you guess what is that I'm drawing?)

...until it's complete!

(.......OKAY, FINE......it's not 100% complete...still need to darken the lines and shade some more...but this is what it'll basically look like...<_<)

...and second thing...I myself have no idea what's that in the background...(just thought I should tell you before being asked U_U)
I guess it's something fantasy-related, huh?

And to Tung: Don't let what happened on Wednesday bring you down, ok? You can make the right choice, and Crystal and I will support you no matter what.
To Haziq: Farewell, Haziq *sob* *sob* It's been nice knowing you for the past 9 years... must keep in touch, ok?

Ok-lah...gotta continue now xD
Later~!

"Lang" week

Current condition: Tired from staying back till 3 @ school
Current mood: Very, very, very, very, very, very ,VERY FRUSTRATED.....

Geeeh...I feel so "sien" that I have to blog it out <_<
The Language week in school, that felt somehow so good...left such a bad impact on me <_<

Language Week, or as I like to label it "Lang" week (lang is "person" in Hokkien...doesn't mean much in this case though...just sounded better <_<) makes the organisers suffer----or at least the PERSON doing everything suffer...

Things I need to do - TODAY/TOMORROW:
Hand the forms to Felicia ---->My SECOND biggest problem
E-mail the results to Audrey
Give details about the certs to David
Type the "Innovation Programme" form --->Tie with 2nd biggest problem
Type the "trip to KL" report (? <_<)> T_T
WRAP THE PRESENTS AAAAAHHH!!!! ---> My biggest problem right now (WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH PRESENTS?!?!?!)
Maths test tomorrow O_o...--->Doubtlessly my THIRD biggest problem

Really la...so many problems surfacing...and got SOME (only a little bit lah...but makes me feel very "mm song" <---uneasy) tension between some people...

Next year, as much as I wish not to be bugged, the English Literary Society would be the organizing club...

P.S.: What on earth did JaJa give me?! Ms. Lat asked me to get it from her... -----surprised----- I have to draw that?! O_o and do I need to type kah...gotta ask JaJa...<_<
*sigh*.........

Later...

Current music: Pendulum - Out Here
Current condition: MUCH better than yesterday
Current mood: Good and bad at the same time.

Whoa...another post?! Unbelievable, eh? Posting almost everyday is something rare for elysiumodyssey@blogspot.com xD
But---since I'm in such a goody goody mood to post, might as well not waste the mood, eh? I don't always get the "blog" mood, you know.

OK...but the thing I'm gonna blog about isn't something happy, (at least to me). It's about a certain "someone" in my class whose attitude seriously needs some "repairing".
I'm not going to mention his name, (though some of my classmates and pals could've known who I'm talking about already...but don't be so bad la har? Just play along and hush hush... I may dislike hie behaviour, but the act of exposing and humiliating him directly is even worse, so I have to make sure his behaviour is more hate-able than mine xD xD xD

OK...this guy...
1) Is quite smart, I admit. Though he does have some weak subjects-lah...but he's quite strong at those which involves counting (Maths, Add Maths, Physics)
2) Doesn't have friends in the class (or even in school I may say <_<) <---- and there's a pretty good reason why he doesn't <_<
3) Talks "big". Yeah...if you've encountered someone who talks very "professionally" and "smartly" then you know what I mean.

Ok...the part I dislike is his "talk smart" part... many times I kena "slap" by his sudden comments <_<
A few weeks ago, the naive fool came to me and ask for "technical drawing" lessons (coz' he's taking Reka Cipta and he's intruded my personal stuff and seen my drawings before <_<)
So out of courtesy I taught him a few basics lor... perspective drawing...shading...etc etc...
Then he follow obediently-lah.

AND THEN...about a week (?) later I was drawing in front of Crystal and Tung and that fool suddenly came to me and eavesdrop on our conversation about drawings.
Suddenly, he had to cut in and said something that would hurt (someone like me, who draws A LOT)
Tung: Wah, Cyn...you really can draw ah...
Cyn: I wanna finish this book lor...wanna move on to my ninth book...
Crystal: Gambatte!
FOOL: I can draw better than you.

I.can.draw.better.than.you.

My goodness! A few weeks ago he came up to ask me HOW TO DRAW and now he go and hammer me with an insult like that. (The way I type it out of course sounds neutral-lah, but you've got to listen to the tone he used <_< macam very "amazing" type)

I mean, come on-lah. even if you can draw better than me why do you wanna learn from someone lower status? And what good does it give you to boast around <_< (he did kinda boast around after that) Which made me quite "mm sun" (tak suka)...

The only thing worse than a person who boasts his abilities is a person who boasts his abilities which are not even true.

Later (about a few hours after the incident) someone else (forgot who it was...too lost in thought) came up to me and ask me for help to draw something (school related, but forgot...again <_<)
Classmate: Can you help me draw *explain explain*
FOOL: *eavesdrops again* (Memang busybody...he does that ALL THE TIME)
Cyn: I'm busy right now. How bout ask HIM? He can draw better than I can. *looks at him and smiles* right?
FOOL: No-lah...mine is technical drawing only...

%&#^*& !!!! First he boasts, now he denies...make up your mind-lah...!
He makes me feel guilty for teaching him how to do technical drawing T_T

Whatever-lah...I feel much better now... I guess this is one of my "flaming posts" xD
Moral lesson: Don't boast. Instead of making you sound cool, it does the opposite. And what's worse, as I've said before, don't boast about something that's made up and not even true, just because you want to "be cooler" than another. Seriously. It'll leave an ugly impression on others. Very ugly...So ugly that it makes Godzilla look cute =.=

And about his cautious, "spying" attitude, he can be pretty much labeled as "STALKER".
Don't be rude, ok? And don't always talk smart...it makes other feel very..."what" bah... like they wanna beat the living daylights out of you...
Yealah...some people are tolerant enough. I do try to be tolerant, but there's always a limit, right? Sometimes it's not a matter of the victim being tolerant, but the bugger being more understanding.

Ok-lah...that's all for now... I've learnt my lesson lor <_< the hard way... but this is not too serious a problem yet... I've gotta do something about it, before it gets real ugly...

So ugly that it makes my previous statement (comparison with Godzilla) look even cuter <_<

Later~

You're being watched...

Current music: "Penelope" (By some unknown artist <_<)
Current condition: More tired and groggy as usual...(really weird lah...one day I'm good, the next I feel horrible)
Current mood: Slightly better than this morning...

Watch out! You're being watched! At school, at least.
Yep, the devastating reality...today the prefect AJKs had an unofficial meeting in school. While Carmen was explaining stuff, we noticed (we were at the astaka) a suspicious man (xD) climbing ladders at the senior block... fixing something utterly fishy...
...a CAMERA...

Yep, folks. CAMERA, as in the ones the government meant when you read the newspapers or heard from your pals...

So some students would be like "Oh, ok...I'm being watched...so what? I'm clean"
Some would go "This is intruding my privacy! (Even though I'm innocent)"
And OTHERS would go "Oh man...I can't "do it" anymore" ("Doing it" is up to you to imagine)

It started on the second floor, at the corner of class 3C...he slowly "pasang-pasang" until class 4E!!! Gyah...now my class is booby-trapped T_T

After the meeting, Tung and I went to check out the cute lil' cameras...

We STARED directly into them (I dunno if they're already turned on or not coz just newly fixed there) and walk around...do a few stupid acts (not stupid enough to be obvious lah...but I did feel kinda stupid xD)

And we went inside 4E (luckily no cameras there....or at least we didn't see any O_o) and whoa! 3/4 of the tables were wrapped in PRETTY BLUE WRAPPING PAPER~ with sparkly little horoscopes~
That is most probably Lim Yee Ting's and Joan's work xD Thanks, mates!

Anyway, just as Tung stated, I've almost finished my NINTH book *grins* I'm about 3/4 along the way now~

Today's conversation:
Cyn: *takes out the book* (yeah, I take it nearly everywhere xD)
Elliot: That's your drawing book?
Cyn: Yealor
Tung: This girl ah...I dunno what she do...must be all the time drawing.
Elliot: What do you draw for?
Cyn: For fun.
Elliot: And what do you do with them after you draw?
Cyn: Collection lor...

(Couldn't think of any other reason <_<)

And today I finally got back my 2GB flash drive T_T
After countless months of claiming back my old one, arguing about the warranty (not me argue, ok? I'm not that gutsy xD) and chasing the guy...sleepless nights with my 256 MB (no-lah...they serve me fine...just kinda inconvenient sometimes) I got it back!
But this time it's not Blue Thunder... it's KingMax. A white colour KingMax 2GB flash drive.
Boleh-lah...as long as can use and can last long enough...
But my dreams of an 8GB shattered liao T_T Never mind lor... maybe next time...when the price drops so low that I can think of it as a joke...
Currently 1GB is only RM 20+, 2GB RM 35-39
4GB RM 55-59, and 8GB RM 99. (the price dropped below RM 100 last week. 2 weeks ago it was RM 110).

Ok...I guess that's it. I've been posting a lot this past week, don't ya think? But that's gonna change once school starts again...

Later~!

51st Post!

Current condition: Cha bu duo... Ok-ok-lah
Current mood: A bit on the bright side

Wuh~ a bit tired but a really fun day at the Cheshire Home. Ms. Lat went to pick me up along with Joyce and Catherina. Before that, they had to send someone home from tuition - and he has such a nice house number - 88.

Cath: What a nice number! 88...cai cai...right? (looks at me)
Cyn: fa fa la...
Joyce: *giggles* "cai cai"
Cath: I don't know ma *giggles*

Cai cai pula nie xD I mean, eight is "pa" mah..."fa" sounds like "pa" mah...how suddenly become CAI pula xD Cai can be received from the Cai Shen "the God of ----Cai? I'm not sure what's cai xD" Ah...back to the main topic.

At the Cheshire Home, Tung saw us and opened the door wide (I can admit...it looked kinda dramatic xD) It was my second time at the home (my first time was in January when we took the children to the Sports Complex).

So I met the children once again...but this time, there was another one, that I haven't met before (because he wasn't there during the January activity).......
Cyn: (looks at little kid lying in front watching TV)
Kid: (looks back at me and gave me this "look" and turns away)
Cyn: (turns to Tung) Hm? Who is this? I didn't see him geh...
Tung: Oh, that's Titus.
Cyn: (thinks: oh...! So this is Titus!) Hello, Titus.
Titus: (starts screaming)
Cyn: *shocked* ?!?!
Tung: He's always like that one.
Cyn: Oh...O_o

Wah...surprised me leh...I thought "What did I do wrong?!"...
And then when he continued to scream (because his favourite CD wasn't there and he wanted to watch it) the teachers tried to calm him down but seems impossible xD
Then when everyone was outside for the farewell ceremony (except Titus, who was still kinda upset) suddenly came up to me...

Titus: *groans something I couldn't understand*
Cyn: ...? Yes? What's wrong? (In cantonese)
Titus: *groans*
Cyn: Hungry? (makes an eating action xD)
Titus: *slaps my hand and jumps up and down*
Cyn: (thinks: I guess not...now that I think about it he didn't want to eat when the teachers gave him food) Err...toilet?
Titus: *groans more* (I didn't understand so that's what I assumed...>_>)
Cyn: *brings him around to look for toilet* (thinks: Aww man...I just remembered...I don't know the places in this Cheshire Home!) (so we walked to the end of the hallway and saw a door marked "Rest Room") *tries to open door but failed*
Titus: *opens the other door but fails too...coz they're both locked*
Tung: *notices* Why oh?
Cyn: Where's the toilet?
Tung: *looks at the door and suddenly laughs* Eh...that is rest room lah. Toilet is over THAT way *points the opposite direction*
Cyn: O_o *dumbfounded* (thinks: and here I thought toilet IS restroom...)
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX NOTE : PAISEH MOMENT FOR ME (IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S PAISEH THEN LET'S JUST KEEP IT THAT WAY) XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Cyn: Nah, Titus. Toilet over here.
Titus: *walks away*
Cyn: O_o.........................

That was my little "adventure" with Titus...
And with Ai Lu pula...
Cyn: *opens door to find Ai Lu playing "the farm game"???*
Ai Lu: *looks at me and gives me a COW* (a toy cow if u can't figure it out already...about the size of my palm...slightly longer)
Cyn: *takes the cow*
Ai Lu: *grabs a BULL and rams it towards my hand (the one that's holding the cow)*
Cyn: ...!! (then I begins to make lame "cow" sounds...mooing mooing there T_T *super paiseh*)
Ai Lu: *makes "bull" sounds pula*

And the whole room becomes a farm. Titus stared at us a few times but ignored. YB Au comes in and plays along xD

Anyways, after everyone (except the HOPE members and the Japanese volunteer) had left, we had a little sushi-making lesson xD It was pretty interesting xP
David was forced to be the first to try after the lesson. He one he made turned out to be rectangular in shape ^^;
I was second. I put in whatever Ms. Lat asked me to put...rolled it up and the final result was pretty good for a first.
Cyn: *unrolls the wooden thingy used to roll the sushi* Wuh~
David: (was busy slicing his rectangular sushi xD)
Cyn: Hm...at least it looks better than David's.
David: *stares at me*
Crystal: Nah, Cynthia. Slice the sushi you made.
Cyn: *slices it neatly*
Crystal and David: Whoa.....
Cyn: See? Better than David's xD
David: *fakes a sour face* yealah...
XXXX OUTSIDE THE KITCHEN XXXX
David: Aiyaa...this is my first time making sushi mah...
Cyn: That's no excuse. It's also my first sushi.
David: Aiyaaa...I'm a boy mah...
Cyn: *stares* Heh...

Later, Crystal dragged me to the kitchen.
Crystal: Go ahead-lah...speak some Japanese with her. (Sumi-san, the volunteer)
Cyn: Eh...? (I do know bits and pieces of Japanese, but not enough to hold up a full conversation)
Sumi: *smiles* Ya?
Cyn: K...konnichiwa. Watashi wa Cynthia desu. (Hello, I am Cynthia)
Sumi: Hai. (Yes.)
Cyn: Eto...(Umm...) Nippon wa kirei desu ka? (Is Japan beautiful?) <-----(Japan memang beautiful what...what a lame question I asked T_T)
Sumi: Hai, totemo kirei desu. (Yes, very beautiful.)
Cyn: Koko wa suki desu ka? (Do you like here? <---here as in Sandakan)
Sumi: Suki desu yo. (I like this place.)

*Joyce and Catherina was beside me...I didn't dare speak anymore until they went to the living room coz it was really malu xD*

Crystal: Come on, Cynthia! Speak some more-lah! Hajimemashite! (Nice to meet you) Yoroshiku onegaishimasu! (Please take care of me OR a pleasure to work with you...not suitable for our conversation lah xD)
Cyn: Ano...(Err...) Hazukashi desu...*laughs* (It's embarrassing)
Sumi: Alamak...(Yes, the alamak that we hear in BM often xD) Hazukashi no koto shimasen desu yo--------(something like that la, forgot the full sentence but I understood) (It's nothing to be embarrassed about)

(Later, I picked up a piece of sushi xD)

Cyn: Itadakimasu! (Always said before eating)
Sumi: Hai, dozo. (Yes, please do...) (Eh...so hard to translate..."dozo" is like "ching" in Chinese or "sila" in Malay. So technically it's something like "Jemputlah makan".)

Finally, around noon, I followed Crystal's car home.
But before that:
Cyn: Sumi-san, I'm going now. (In English because I couldn't figure out how to say it in Japanese xD)
Sumi: Jya, sayounara! (Well then, goodbye!)
Cyn: Sayounara! Matta renraku-shimasu ne <<---no idea if I said it right but I think I did. (Goodbye! We'll keep in touch.)

Ok-lah...haven't typed such a looonggg post in such a looonggg time... SPM results out today but I'll see it in the newspaper tomorrow ^^

Later~! Jya ne!

Expressions of Thoughts

Current music : Enigma - Back to the Rivers of Belief
Current game : The New Zealand Story; Worms
Current mood : Neutral

"There are so many things...that conjure emotion,
May it be the soft feeling of the soil,
Under the spring light,
Or may it be the chilly morning breeze,
The light clouds overshadowing the sun,

The smell of the autumn leaves,
The sound of light raindrops on a little umbrella,
The scent of books, and the chalkboard,
The laughter of those around,
With nothing but pure joy,

The fact that all of us have such complex feelings,
That no words can explain truly,
Yet many of us fail to appreciate this,
Nor understand one bit,
The senses and emotions all around"


Aah...now I feel much, much better...
Just thought I had to get some load off...
What this little "musing" of mine means, entirely up to you.
Comment, ignore or even flame me, I do not mind.
These are "complex emotions" after all ^.^

P.S. : I drawn something I think I'm brave enough to post xD but probably next time...because I don't feel like scanning <_<

Worn out...

Current condition: Weak and tired xO
Current mood: Neutral, I guess...

Language week...English Club...
At the end of the day, after all the running and talking and chasing AJKs, giving orders, etc etc...I feel really worn out and tired...
I've been feeling this way since the past few weeks...and just when I thought I was handling it fine, I came down with a cold and cough just last night... And just as I thought that a good night's rest would be enough to help me recover, I didn't know how wrong I was...
When I woke up this morning I felt at least 10 times worse than I did the previous night. I was half-asleep while getting ready for school, fell asleep on the cough while waiting for the school bus, fall asleep in the school bus, TRIED not to fall asleep when I reached school, (I did close my eyes for a few moments, but ultimately I jerked myself awake, coz the bells rang)

And on the way home in the bus, I COULDN'T sleep! Even though my head was aching like mad and tears coming out from my eyes just like that...
And when I reached home, I plopped on the couch, fell asleep and some time later heard the phone ringing:

Cynthia: H...hello?
Crystal: Cynthia, I'm outside your house! (She sends me to tuition together)
Cynthia: Wh..what?! (Still dazed) So fast...??
Crystal: Fast? It's already 3:20! (Tuition starts at 3:30)
Cynthia: O..oh..! Wait ah...
(And so I rushed around, simply changed my clothes, packed my bag and rushed outside)

AND to make things worse, I fell asleep in the car! Dx...Luckily it didn't last long...just a few minutes...

And here I am now...still a bit drowsy, but still able to type this post.
Co-cum starts tomorrow...and I'm to stay back until 4 p.m... It's never-ending!!!
I-JUST-WANNA-SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!

Some of you might go "Then sleep already! Why are you still here typing this?!"
My answer is "I can't sleep". As lame as it sounds, it's true T_T
I seem to sleep when I don't want to and can't sleep when I try to T_T
And my other reason is "I still have a few things to do..."
Not gonna go in detail on that, mostly English club stuff and school homework...
Gotta finish it as quickly as possible so that I can hit my comfy bed before 9...eh...9 doesn't sound possible...ok-lah...hopefully 9:30....

P.S. : I wonder how I'm gonna survive Prefect Camp...being my first one as an AJK, staying up 24++ hours...I might end up looking old like Mathilda Loisel ten years after the necklace incident...<_<
No time to draw la...I said before that I can't last a day without drawing, right? Then I guess I'll try to draw just one or two pictures every few hours...? At least relieve sikit...

I guess that's it for now...*YAWWWNNNN* Later...~

2 posts in one day =.=

Meh...and I thought I had already "gau tiam" with my post...oh well...
I could do this some other time, but malas lah...just get it done with now lah...
kena tag pula =.= OK...8 random facts about me...random...random....hmm....

1) The first thing I can think about: I can't go one day without drawing...!
Well, sure...I won't die or anything, but I'll go weird...T_T I dunno why...it's just abnormal to go more than 24 hours without holding my favourite Papermate pencil and drawing some stuff on paper...even if it's just nonsense xD Ok-lah...seconds fact T_T

2) Contrary to what some may think (except Crystal and Tung, coz they're close enough to know) the thought of romance never crossed my mind. Aiyaaahhh got-lah, but not about me <_< about others, that is...I mean...all of us must have at least have some classmates who have their love lives pretty much revealed, right? I don't intend to offend or refer to anyone, but I do believe that we secondary school students are just too young for romance. And it somehow worsens my impression of teenage love when I hear stories of my classmates breaking up then getting with another...like an on-off story...It's none of my business, and it's not for me.

3) I get the feeling that others may dislike me...
Yeah, some of you might be thinking "Whoa...she's so self-conscious" or something like that. But there's always this kind of feeling when I talk to others... I do ask some of them if I'm annoying and they said no (some of them said sometimes) I do try to change myself, but many are not very honest with me-lah...

4) I don't do girl talk. It doesn't work for me <_< Maybe for certain topics I am willing to share what I know, but for the most part, my ideas are as blank as a white sheet of paper. I don't do boy talk either xD (Not like I've been in one anyway...) So what do I like exactly? Dunno...<_<

5) I drop my stuff or knock myself against things very often...this is not a fact that I can hide...it's really true... Ask my friends-lah...they can unanimously agree on that.

6) Hmm...what else random hah? Ok-loh...here comes a random one...
I have a cousin that I've not met in 10+ years...I don't even remember the exact year, but I know it's more than 10. And I just met him (finally) last month and except for his name and familiarity of his look, he seemed like a stranger to me O_o

7) I CANNOT stay in front of the computer/television screen for long. Ok, don't give me your shocked looks yet...I get tired and headaches if I stay too long. That's why every few minutes I walk around in circles before sitting back down xD

8) Ok...last one...make it extra random...
I learned English from the TV...to be exact, *covers face* from CARTOON NETWORK.
I didn't learn it from my parents, you know. I speak Mandarin with them. So my English comes from CARTOON NETWORK, and my BM comes from TV3 xD my Mandarin from my parents lor...my Cantonese is not that good, but still ok-lah...I got Cantonese and Hakka from my classmates and friends, Hokkien from some of them (Hokkien is my mother tongue, but I'm bad at it T_T) Japanese from watching anime xD, Korean from Crystal and Tung's chatting about K-dramas, and the British accent from listening to people speaking xD

So...now it's really gau-tiam...Phew...Later~

Down-time

Current music: DJ Sharpnel - Blue Noah 2006
Current mood: I'm not even gonna start on this...

Wuh...a lot of things happening - as always.
Sports Day just ended last week...I was there for two full days - morning till evening - and what I got was a mild tan and a nasty side effect: fatigue and didn't feel well enough to attend prefect meeting the next day T_T "P.S. I'm sorry, Carmen..." and I literally had to drag myself out of home to attend tuition...(coz' it's paid, you know...gonna be a waste not to go...)

That was last week...but THIS week, a whole new bunch of work comes my way.
Language week is here...and English Club activities are on Wednesday... So much to do man...I hope the other AJKs don't mess up and let me down T_T...I'm putting a lot of trust on you guys...!
But then there are a lot of problems-lah... Nearly all the AJKs can't attend public speaking T_T because they're either
i) Chosen to participate ii) Time problem iii) Account lesson?!
Geh...what am I to do...I can't simply cut their names-lah...if business was that easy then the whole world would be corrupted by now.
Anyway...hopefully I'll find some alternative...

Now then, about some "irresponsible classes". They make me slap my own forehead in dismay <_<...First, they don't pass up their participation form. Second, they don't pay for it. Third, they're smiling and laughing joyfully while I'm freaking out here.
As much as I wish to DOUBLE their fine (from RM 5 to RM 10) I have to keep my cool and abide by the rules. Just keep calm...shake the money out of their treasurer...keep calm...

I'm not gonna lie...today's been a horrible day for me <_<
Not the fact that I was the MC for assembly today, or that today's assembly was one of the longest. Not even the fact that I had to pull out time from my magical clock to do spotchecks and help teachers with co-cum stuff. If it isn't because of these things (OK, so maybe they did affect me a little, but that's not the major point here) so what, really is the cause?
THE AFTER-EFFECTS OF SPORTS DAY (?) It does sound weird, but it is possible, you know... I don't remember how much sleep exactly did I get, but everyday I feel like I only slept for an hour <_< (of course I slept more than that in reality...)
Guess I can't exactly pinpoint the cause, but it's sucking the life out of me <_< I think I'm becoming dull...not that I want to be, but my adrenaline levels have probably dropped very low...

So...I don't know what to do now, except continue and be patient for now...
Things that will probably give me a better day (or at least increase my mood a little)
a) Election holidays...so that I can recover T_T (But if only the holidays wouldn't be clogged up with work...)
b) Any cool gadgets like an 8GB flash drive, an iPod, a laptop...etc etc...<<--- these are definitely only in my dreams...sigh
c) For Jason to make a post <_< (Come on-lah, impossible that there's nothing you can blog about...your life can't be that boring...and don't tell me you're too lazy... I'll electrocute you >.<)

I guess that's it for now...Oh yeah! One final thing...
Whoever said that Form 4 is a honeymoon year deserves a whack on the head...
by yours truly >_>

A few eye-candy conversations form today...(I felt bored, so...here)
SCENE 1 (spoken in hakka...85% of the time, that is...
don't laugh at my hakka ah...I know that it's below normal conversational point, but at least I'm good at listening and understanding...)
Cyn: Eh, Tung. You busy ah?
Tung: Yealor...account work.
Cyn: OK-lah...for now I'll speak to you in hakka xD Ming pat mao? (Understand kah?)
Tung: Yeah.
Cyn: (Then I forgot what I did, but I asked Tung something lol)
Tung: Sorry ah, Cynthia. I'm busy right now...
Cyn: Ok-LOH...(emphasis on -loh)
Tung: Aiyerr...don't give me that tone eh...makes me feel bad-lah
Cyn: Ok Ok (laughs) mm hao yi su (Sorry). Zho nya gung kho (Continue your homework)

SCENE 2 (English U_U coz it feels weird to speak hakka to Crystal lol)
Crystal: Ei, Cynthia. How to do this oh? (maths question...then I taught her) Oh...ok.
Cynthia: Crystal...crystal (actually means nothing, but the way I said it is like she's causing me trouble lol)
Crystal: Don't say that eh...I feel like a hopeless person.
Cynthia: O_o (thinks: wow...she and Tung think of the same thing geh...guess I'm the odd one here...sigh)

Ok-lah...gau tiam for now...Later-lah~
