I Could Be Purple

Mika - Grace Kelly

Mika's songs make me laugh. I used to hatehatehate his annoying-ness. But now I find it so entertaining! Everybody's gotta love today. Love love me... Love love mee!!!! (Sounds familiar? It was StarWorld's theme song for a year!)

Today has been a loooooong day. I'm so exhausted. I know, I keep ranting non-stop about how tired I feel and yadayada. But I really am, I can't help it. Not only physically, but mentally as well. No rest. So stressed. And shit, I have like 4 monthly tests waiting to torture me. Nutty and I missed 2 days of school this week. And we have to miss next Monday too. Die. There's BIO on Monday. Shit. There's also Add Maths on Monday. Fuck. I'm supposed to take most of my tests on Monday. BLEEPS. Volleyball better be worth it.

I just *heart* Nutty

She's such a nice person to talk to. I never noticed how much we have in common. We totally dig the same type of guys! She may seem naive and all, but once you get her to open up *poof* The true Wacky Nutty! She's the right person to go to whenever you have a problem. Did I mention how adorable she is when she's nervous? She'll get a mile high and start talking giberish xD

THERE'S A RULER BANDIT IN CLASS!

well... at least I think there is. My ruler keeps going missing. I buy a new one, and it goes missing after a few days. Happened a couple of times already. Now I'm so tired of buying a new one. I then became the "accidental bandit" because I keep ACCIDENTALLY mistake someone's borrowed ruler. Jen is usually my victim xD I had this emergency the other day... Emergency : To draw graph for Add Maths. I hate everything that has ANYTHING to do with graphs. But somehow I love form 5 add maths. For now... So, I ramsacked my whole room for a ruler.

And... Look what I found.

It may look like an ordinary ruler... But Nooo.. There's a story behind it. A really silly but hilarious one.

That's a ruler a crush (whom I won't googoogaagaa over for some time) gave me a looooooong time ago. I can't explain how much I laughed the minute I opened the drawer and saw it sitting there in a layer of dust. Immediately, primary school memories flooded in like crazy! So, the story goes. I was so into this guy whom I found cute but everyone said he isn't. The scenario was : I lost my ruler, and went all teary-looking when I needed one. He happened to sit beside me at that time, so he was all "oh, you poor/pathetic thing" xD Then he gave me his ruler =D At least that's how I remembered. Who knows, I might have stolen it and my memories created a fictional fantasy over the past 5 years xD

No la. It wasn't such a freaky-obsessed-stalker kind of crush. It was very naive mind you!

See. I even diligently taped it back together when it broke into half.

I must have really liked him back then. I can't seem to figure out why now xD
Gosh... How I miss those times when love was so naive and problems free.
Not that I would call that love.
But yeah, that fuzzy feeling.
Now everything has gone to a whole new level, it seems so complicated.

Well, that's all. I'm feeling embarassed about this whole crush thing xD Was reluctant to blog about it, but oh well... I had nothing else to blog about xD

Cheerios!

I'm torn in between. I can't make up my mind. Help...

The Tragic Fall

Sugarcult - Bouncing Off The Walls Again

Damn it. Chelsea lost to Tottenham Hotspurs... Of all clubs, Hotspurs. *speechless*

They won by a penalty shot and an accidental header by Woodgate(which Cech should have caught easily instead of letting it slip *bleep*) Bows for Berbatov though! As for Chelsea... Sigh... They had all the star players on the field and still couldn't break through Hotspur's defense. Please oh please bring Jose Mourinho back!!!

Class went on as usual today. Nothing out the ordinary except for Vinser's non-stop annoying pastures and ChongSheng aka Fan Tong's silly monkey acts. Tomorrow's the last day of training and tournament is up! Die. I'm both relieved and shitty scared. *sweats*

Whoot~ Finally got my jersey! It's in wash now, so shall post a picture some other time =)

Road Blocked Either Way

Jay Chou - Kai Bu Liao Kou

Yesterday was a totally exhausting day. Had Leo Orientation from 10.30 am till 5.30 pm. Yeah, 7 hrs straight, talk about mental! I skipped lunch, again. There wasn't enough food. Note to future organiser : please be kind enough to supply food for your commitees. Don't worry, Shih Yian, we didn't mind that much =) I was totally slumped when I came home. Managed to rest for about an hour or so, then had to prepare for our "open house". Yeah, mummy dearest decided to have a small "open house" AFTER Chinese New Year. She was all "No lah... Just invite some friends over for dinner..." xD She was so anxious throughout the morning TILL the time came when people started coming over to eat.

10am
Mom : Eh eh... See, I went marketing.. do you think this this this this this... is enough??
Me : Huh.... *groans* yeah... ZzZzZzZ

10 minutes later....
Mom : Shoot laa... I don't think it's enough. Shall stop by the market on the way to your school later yeah?
Me : *munching* um-hmmm... yeah... okaaaaayyyy....

In the car (after picking me up at 5.30pm)
Mom : Seriously, Stephie... I don't think there's enough. *does mental calculation* Are your friends big eaters?? Shall I stop by the convinient store to grab more? Do you think there's enough seafood?
Me : .......
Mom : *continues on with mental calculations*

Yeah... I know. So mom's batch started dining at 7pm and she couldn't stop worrying about insufficient food. My batch came in at 8pm. Late bunch of bum-bums : Davi, Tania and Jean. Then my mom even had my annoying pipsqueak bro's kindergarden teacher over. She was dressed gorgeously-hot making all of us feeling under-dressed. Apparently she was gonna head over to dance class after dinner. Seriously, once you've taken the first glance at her the last thing you'll ever expect is her career as a kindergarden teacher. Imagine, a smoking hot teacher. Well... not that HOTT laa. So anyway, we had steaming hot steamboat. Jean couldn't stop whining and eeek-ing over the fish and squids. How can someone not like FISH??! I can definitely live without chicken, pork, whatever red meat but would die first if the world ran out of fish. Speaking of fish... I'm craving for SUSHI!!!

Damn it... we were all busy talking and eating till I forgot to take pictures... Gahh... Today shall be a lazy day. I hereby declare Fridays and Sundays LAZY DAYS =D Sadly, I'm only able to officialise it end next week because I have to study for next week's bunch of monthly tests. Bio, physics, mod maths, sejarah....

OH THE TERROR *faints*

Don't make it difficult and force the words I don't wanna say...

Bunk Of An Annum

Johnny Cash - I Walk The Line

Phew... It's been another hectic week. Volleyball tournament is just a week away. Shit. I've been sleep deprived more than ever. *Bleeping* Biology project. I only manage to catch 4 hrs of sleep on Monday night, stayed up late to fix the *bleeping* power point problem. Thank goodness Nutty was so kind to keep me company and helped a handful in finishing it while our *cough*useless*cough*vinser*cough*cough* group leader slept like a PIG. The most pissifying part was... turned out we're supposed to pass it up on Friday and not today. Like what the *bleep*bleep* right?? I could have enjoyed my beauty sleep!! Then I wouldn't have panda eyes! Then I wouldn't have to find it so friggin difficult to stay awake in class. Alright alright. I'll stop my ranting...

Have a new collection added to my Hall of Bruises for diving onto hard and friggin hot pavement! Sometimes I wonder why on earth do I put myself into this kind of situation, just for a ball game. Geez... I can't wear skirt until these bruises are gone *sobs out loud*

Today's training was tough rock for me. I was starving throughout the game. Didn't have time to grab a bite for lunch. Had BOD meeting till 3pm and training right after. Luckily I managed to munch on a bun while warming up. Gawd, I feel like I'm gonna fall ill anytime now. There's no place like home seriously. I just threw myself onto the couch the minute I entered the house. Just when I was about to doze off, there was a knock on the door... My oh-I-have-nothing-better-to-do cousin, "Eh, let's go mamak! Got something to ask you..." He practically dragged me out the door and didn't even give me a chance to shower. Scared the shit out of me. Usually he's all distant and quiet about his personal life, all of the sudden he acted as though something went extremely wrong. Imagine how much I wanted to fling my cup of teh o' ice limau at his face when all he asked was silly idiotic questions that he could answer himself, without a doubt. Geez... GUYS! They just ask the silliest questions on earth! Things they could easily settle they would pile a mile high and fret non stop about it. Sigh... Now I'm completely dried. After all that advising and stuff, I feel like a pathetic social psychologist. How I wish my problems can be settled as easily as his can. Damn, the world is so unfair at times!



Darn it. Jay Chou's concert is THIS Saturday... Didn't know it was so soon! Intended to go actually but sigh... It HAS to be THIS weekened!!! Although I'm not a HUGE fan of his, I'm just crazy over his songs. You have to admit it, no one composes love songs like Jay Chou does!!

Oh well, like I said... Life's Unfair (most of the time)

Miles Apart

Jay Chou - Qing Tian

Your ignorance fucking aggrevates me...

I have no idea what's your freaking problem.
What did I ever do to you?
I never realised how much it affected me until today...
I can't help thinking how much I miss those amusing care-free moments
Now it's just a battle of ego, just waiting for one's tongue to let loose
Can't believe I told you things I never told anyone
You took advantage of my attention
You used me to feed your fucking ego
I took it all in thinking that's what a friend should do
I still stuck by, even when you misunderstood things
Turns out I was fucking stupid to do so
You have no idea how difficult it was to put up with you
If you can throw your tantrums why can't I??
If you think I'm sensitive, get a freaking self-check...
At least I know when to NOT take things too seriously
Probably I'm making a big deal out of this
But can you imagine yourself in my position??
I'm anguished and disappointed
To assume that we were once friends, I would be bullshitting myself.

As far as ignorance go.... I can do just as well to put this behind me.

Down That Rusty Road

Leo Sayer - When I Need You

Shugar... Oh, honeh honeh...

bah, I'm so late in wishing ya'll a Happy Valentine's Day! Been busy yesterday. Now I'm so washed up! According to JJ&Rudy, it was S.A.D yesterday. Singles Awareness Day, when every single realises that he or she is..... SINGLE. lol I just love the way they try to cheer the singles up but in a way they are miserably reminding us that we're single xD

Shweet Davi gave this pretty lil muffin. It was so cute till I couldn't bear to munch on it. But I did anyway ;)

That's the result of continuous volleyball training. Thankfully no training today, finally a break! And Thank God I'm kinda tan, so it ain't that obvious. How on earth am I gonna go out, I look like an abused victim!

Yesterday's BM drama went on smoothly. Everyone gave in their best and that's the most important part. Vinser got most of the attention though! He's been flying on Cloud 99! Mr Perasan...

Josiah Lemming (with a sexy british-accent)

Aww!! Josiah didn't make it to the top 24 on American Idol. I totally fell in love with his blue eyes and his sexy british accent. He basically lives in his car like a homeless guy, but he ain't exactly homeless. Damn, it's such a waste that he didn't make it. He performed Grace Kelly by Mika (if I'm not mistaken) during Hollywood week. Weird choice, I know, but he pulled it off perfectly! But he got over confident and screwed up the next audition by singing Stand By Me in acapella. Over-confidence took over him. Gah!! I still think it's such a waste he didn't make it. Hopefully he manages to come out into the music industry on his own. Will definitely anticipate him!

#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#

Now, I shall write about my CNY. Somehow, this year's CNY seem so different. Didn't feel as excited as before. Prolly because I have passed that kiddy stage. But it's a totally different story during Christmas. Funny...

My noble uncle took an effort to encourage multi-racial celebration. So, he celebrated Deepavali with CNY. No... I'm kidding. He just wanted to outdo his neighbour with all those glaring colourful lights!

le gasp* he wasn't the only one!!! houses all over Penang are decorate with glimmering lights!!

Sungai Bakap, Seberang Perai

Went to visit my dad's old hometown in Sungai Bakap on our last day in Penang. At least 3 families stayed in one unit. There are about 3 to 4 units in total. Each family had at least 6 children. Can you imagine??

Even the entrance was so chinese-y

This was where my dad slept with 7 of his siblings together with my grandparents. Yes, it did fit them all.

Yeap. The Kee Tradition :)

My one-eyed great-great-grandfather, Kee Teik Phang, from China.

My great-grandfather, Kee Ban Yam.

My grandfather who loves watching Discovery and National Geography

My dad with another generation of annoying Kee's, hoping to continue the blood-line xD

No idea who. I guess they're my ancestors or great great uncles.

Ancient chairs on a really ancient floor.

The place is filled with priceless antiques...

It's a scroll of names of my ancestors from China all the way down to my great-grand fathers name. Seriously priceless...

Really old bottle of medicine. Guarantee to kick you sky high with a single dosage.

Take a look at the description. The clinic's phone number only consist of 4 numbers (No.3143). At my dad's time in the 60s there were 6 numbers. Imagine how old this bottle of medicine is.

It was definitely a walk of reminiscence for both my dad and my grandfather, on the land where times were harsh but worries still seem so miniscule.

All things come to an end. I don't have any pictures of my family reunion dinner cause they were not the type who would actually allow you to snap snap. They were all busy gambling to bother actually, so there was not much to take.

The trip home was as long as ever. 3 and a half hours drive, under the freaking hot weather! By the way, do you see that black spot? I tried cleaning my camera lens but that spot won't freaking come off!! Any idea, photography experts out there??

I prefer it so much better when my brother's asleep. He's much more adorable that way. And I can annoy him in return xD

Bwahahahaha.... It's pay back time!!!

A notice of beware. I just got flashed through webcam by a guy by the name of Michael. His address is michael007@live.com.my. Sick sick sick fella. Wouldn't wanna know what he did on his webcam. I was naive enough to think it was my old primary school friend. Told me that I'll recognise him through cam when I asked him to identify himself. I was stupid enough to fall for that. So beware, girls. Unless, this kinda stuff turns you on... I have nothing left to say *gag-gag-puke-puke* What's wrong with guys nowadays???

Toodles~

Off Ramp, Away From Civilization

Alicia Keys - No One

Since yesterday I updated about the day before yesterday... I shall update about yesterday, today xD It's just a silly excuse for me to make full use of the internet for now cause I'll be MIA for a whole week *sniffs* Going back to hometown Penang for a week! Away from my comp and internet connection. Sadly the only tech that my grandfather owns is Astro and a telephone. His doesn't even describe for HBO! Torture! I'm so gonna beg-on-my-knees-beg my cousin to bring his uber cool VAIO laptop when he visits for my sake of staying alive! Okay... I'm totally exeggerating....

Yesterday I went shopping with mummy dearest and pipsqueak brother while my other evil sibling went out bowling with his friends. Thankfully our lil "shopping spree" was a success. Managed to buy a bunch of stuffs. There were times when we walked around for 5 hrs and not buy a single piece of clothing. Somehow the fashion nowadays is super lala. Seriously...

Mummy dearest and pipsqueak aka pain-in-the-butt brother.

Lat-chiu restaurant

Went to Chili's for the first time. Mummy dearest was torn between Dragon-i and the great big CHILI. I wanted to eat the... err... what do u call that delicious "soup-in-the-dumpling"?? xD But mom had a kick for western, so I had to give in. She's paying...

Lamb Shoulder. It was pretty satisfying. If only it wasn't burnt at the side. Would have tasted great. But I have to say it was damn juicy. Not bad laa...

Jack's Mushroom Fajita. I love love loved it! It was still sizzling when served.

The fajita came with a plate of 'I-have-no-idea-what' and tortilas. If I'm right... It's cheese, cheese, cheese, whipped cheese, cheese, cheese and guacomole xD I'm a fan of cheese.

Overly-active-till-I-can-drive-you-up-the-wall

I'm gonna annoy youuuuuuu and make your life shorter by grizzilion years.....

More pictures of the annoying twit. Did I mention that he's such a poser for the camera too??

Patience is indeed a virtue when you have two annoying brothers. But I guess without them I'll be a totally different person in life.

Lunch was great @ Chili's. Will definitely dine there again. But they should improve their service. We waited for ages for someone to take our order and the friggin bill. This is coming from an ex-waitress xD

Well, I have nothing more to blog about....... cause I ran out of pictures. I don't fancy blogging without pictures cause it requires me to type type type a friggin essay that would bore the hell out of people. Although I love writing long posts, I shall spare you guys =D *sobs* I'll be awaaaayyy for a week. Thank God for really really really good food and red shiny ang pau's!!

Ohh... I almost forgot

Happy Chinese New Year, ya'll!!!!

Ciao~

A lil rumble?

Feist - One Two Three Four

Thank God my mom didn't take my grounding punishment TOO seriously. I was allowed out finally. Simply because I was a super goody-two-shoes for the past week to own up to my "bad deeds". I would swear not to make the same mistakes ever again. Oh please, it's dreadful to be away from it all for too long.

Went to Marco's on Friday, with permision mind you, to eat their yummy Carbonara. I waited oh-so-patiently for the rest to arrive while I hung out with Vinser, ChienLung and ChongSheng at the cyber cafe. I know! Of all places. They wanted to play DOTA so desperately, I was practically dragged along with them.

Busy spending their precious time (and bucks) digitally killing each other...

I can't express how pointless I find "DOTA-ing". It's just a plain excuss for them to kick each others asses non-physically but through the computer.

Steph : What are you guys doing?
Vinser : Killing each other la...
Steph : No strategy wan ar?
Vinser : Err... no...
Steph : *sweat!* (I don't use this expression often but I'm left with no other)

It costs RM3 to play for an hour. Can you imagine? But I guess it's a way for them to unwind, like how us girls splurge tonnes of ka-ching on shopping sprees. It was an "experience" joining them. Actually, I just sat there and watch xD Now I know where the term PWNED is from. I thought it was some cynical word from the dictionary when I first heard it but noooooo... It's from all that "DOTA-ing" that you guys have been doing. At least I learned "something" new... After that I finally ate... correction : GOBBLED, shweet delicious Carbonara. Sorry, no picture. I dug in too fast to remember to snap a picture of it xD Teehee!

Anyhoo... Miss Stephay was so bored yesterday till she decided to bake cookies!
I was craving for fattening food and chocolate chip cookies are on the top of the list. It's my second time in baking chocolate cookies. I'm still an amateur or NOOB (so to say). I stumbled here and there but thankfully it was a success!

Little blobs...

I have a really really tiny oven. Can only manage to make a dozen at one go. Imagine how long it took me to make 6 and a half dozens of cookies.

Stack em' cookies!

My brother just couldn't wait to gobble em' down... Seriously, he never took his eyes of em'.

This cookie "jar" will placed waaay waaay up high away from the reach of that pipsqueak brother of mine... *explodes into evil laughter*

That's all for now. Shall update more later on. Toodles~

Is there a way to get to you? Damn, your ignorance aggrevates me...
