Start of Something New

Dear all,

I have officially moved to

http://zunsanwong.wordpress.com.

I suppose I've grown up, and its probably time to move on.

I was looking at my old blog posts, and came across the first ever post I've made, back then when I was 14, and getting ready for my PMR.

My, how things have changed.

Then, I was a growing kid, still raving about using shortcuts while writing sentences. E.g. OMG, u, ur, btw, thx, etc.

Now, I can proudly say I write/type/text in full sentences, with MINIMAL shortcuts, none if I can help it.

Then, I was some girl, who talked like everyone on the street.

Now, I can also proudly say, I speak better, fluently, and PROPERLY. hahaha.

Okok, enough boasting about myself. I'm starting to feel like some pompous moron. I hope to catch all of you in my new blog then.

Cheers. :)

Happy Birthday, Iman!

Oh and by the way,

Happy Birthday, Iman dearest! :D! I KNOW you'll have a blast! And a big surprise... ;-) Hahaha!

And also,

for tomorrow, since I won't be here to wish anyone through the web...

Happy Birthday to my dearest Kak Nik, and also to my dearest Cik Sri Devi. May you both have a blast! :D!

Love you all.

Happy Bizzare Logic Season!

Well, today's NOT exactly Bizzare Logic Day, its probably on the day I posted up the Chronicles. Can't remember now. You must be wondering what on EARTH is Bizarre Logic Day. The three words said it all! Whatever that is BIZZARE...and LOGICAL...would be a great contribution for the aforementioned occasion! Hahaha! Right now, I can't think of anything bizzare yet logical, though I am sure I can poke my Granpa Daryl to come up with something...again. hee hee. The last time he did, I totally forgot to save it! But since I had changed Bizzare Logic Day to Bizzare Logic Season...I'll be posting things up as I see fit.

I'll be leaving to Johor tonight. Another choir tour performance there. The last one for us seniors (minus the Konsort). Hopefully we'll all reach there and come back in one piece. *prays* We'll be performing at the RTM in Johor. We've been told that the accoustic is not good there. Ugh. Darn. Means more work for the tummy and the little voicebox in our throats. Hahaha. Hmm...I'm already thinking of Johor Laksa and other Johor specialities. Oh dear. I better go revise my checklist, see if I've forgotten anything!

Will update you when I return from Johor.

Til then!

Cheers.

Plagued.

I am at work.

And I am PLAGUED with slight food poisoning.

And I suspect it might be the lamb chop I had in Sg.Long Club House. Oh man. *groans* :-(

I feel like throwing up. But I get hungry. And when I eat, I'll feel like throwing up after. Even now, I still feel like that. Darn. I don't like this. Not one bit.

I hope I'm not getting Salmonella. That'd be scarryyyyy. Especially when you've done research on Salmonella and presented it right in front of class. Ahhh! I don't want to get infected with whatever stomach flu!!! I want my healthy stomach backkk!! WahhhHH! *cries*

Mom thinks I should visit a doctor. But I have no time! After this, I have a class at 5.45 pm til 7.45pm. Then right after that, I have choir from 8pm til (god knows) maybe 10.30-11pm. Then, its home, and what can I do after midnight? Maybe clean my room a little, and get ready for the next day. What a routine. Now I can't wait for the holidays! Whee!

I shall update all of you when I come back from choir, or something. Or maybe tomorrow. Ah!

Cheers.

P.S. Any more contributors for The Chronicles of a Dull Boy and a Bimbo? Lol.

The Chronicles of a Dull Boy and a Bimbo.

Greetings, my fellow friends.


I am going to start on a silly project, one "inspired" by my 'Granpa Daryl', who has been the source of imagination, light of my life, the ol' and wise who would keep my spirits high throughout the day, through rain or shine.


The title of this project is (as above): The Chronicles of a Dull Boy and a Bimbo.


In this project, we shall name the Dull Boy as *Jack and the Bimbo as *Jill.


This is a love story between Jack and Jill.

Jack is a Dull Boy, because he discusses serious issues, despite his young age. Many finds him weird and strange because of his seriousness. He's matured way beyond his years.

Jill, a Bimbo, is...well...a Bimbo. (Granpa Daryl, I'll never forgive you for this!!)

What I need YOU (yes, you there, reading this) to do... is to complete this chronicle for me. You can come up with all sorts of conversations, ideas, stories, qoutes, etc. ANYTHING! Just to spice this Chronicle up. Once I've decided that we are done, I shall post up the creativeness of how this Chronicle is created. This might be the silliest thing you've ever done, and there really isn't a point in this somehow, but the motive is just to perk you bored people up,(yes, you are bored, because if you are not, you won't be reading my blog at this very moment, hah!) and add some laughter in this blog of mine. It's been some time since I feel laughter and exuberance emitting from my blog.

Anyway, I'm going to start the opening quote for the Chronicle first, thanks to Gramps, he came up with this brilliant excerpt:


Jack: You know, it's really nice to know you. especially since when INTEREST RATES go up, the economy will start to CONTRACT but seeing your smile makes my day!

Jill: Yes, everybody tells me of their INTEREST in me but i RATE them all the same...borrriiinnngggg. And talking about CONTRACTs, I think I will sign up for that new Digi promo with free sms

Jack: Er...yeah...I think. Let's go out together.

Jill: Aren't we already out now, you moron?

...excerpt of conversation between Jack and Jill the first time they met (from The Chronicles of Jack & Jill).


Hahaha! (I have a feeling only I alone, am laughing to this)...Oh well, this is one of the latest invention, feel free to drop in your own ideas.

P.S. Foul, obscene, raunchy and any other ideas which I deem inappropriate shall be deleted without a second thought. HAH!

Quoting my dear Gramps, "Let the creative juices flow!"

Cheers. :)

Break Me.

Friends. A universal thing. Everyone has it. Whether you like it or not, someway or somehow, you're bound to have one. Even the Christmas Grinch has one. I suppose there are many types of friends. You have your hi-bye friends, close buddies, best friends, friends-for-life slumber mates, etc.. Not forgetting you may have one or two complicated ones as well. Usually, the complicated friends are the ones who display the most irony. These are the friends that are hazardous to your health (mentally), yet you know that somehow, they are a part of you. No matter how ridiculous they get, you know that you'd somehow take their crap. But...when your head starts to clear out...and suddenly you find..there's a limit to everything. No matter how dear anyone is to you, say your parents, sisters, friends...there is always a limit.

And then comes the million dollar question. Should you suck it all in, or...should you just let go? Then you realize...both ways, you lose. In this cruel game, you never win. But..you suddenly see a loophole. That loophole has its thorns as well. Hmm...you would have to know, to measure, how important that friend to you is. If the importance is insignificant to you, all you have to do is just let go. But..what if, that friend means a lot to you? You don't know why she/he is important, you just know that a part of you will change without that person even though it may only be a small change. Letting go...would hurt. So much that even you're not sure of. If you choose to hold on, it may destroy you and probably the both of you.

I know what you're thinking, just let go. Why the trouble? You're going to lose anyway. Both ways would still hurt. And at this point, my mind drifts back to the start. What have I done wrong from the beginning? The answer hits me like a lightning bolt.

EVERYTHING.

The Turning Point

Finally! It's like a dream come true (not exactly)...My first ever paycheck! =D! And I earned that all by myself, hah! Well, I don't suppose that it's something I can be truly proud of, it's just something that I sorta earned it with my efforts, more or less. Since I started work, it hasn't been hectic, or difficult YET. But now I'm getting the hang of it, and I'm in it for the long haul...I gotta learn fast. Life's been..slightly interesting, now that I have something to occupy my time with, albeit the routine. Yes, I dislike the whole 'daily routine' thing, it's something that I can get used to very fast, and then I can already see my whole future stretched out before me...lifeless and boring. For now, it's okay, since I'm really not doing anything. Everything is starting to slowly evolve, myself mostly, but..there's still one thing that's not evolving and I don't think it will, at least for the next decade few years or so. *frowns*

I've been dying to meet my friends, (ok, so 'dying' isn't quite the right word, hmm) though I see them almost every week now. Still, I suppose it's the only...er..key? For me to realize that I still have that bit of freedom with me. Other than that, you might want to think that I feel like a little birdie, still trapped in that golden cage and almost oblivious to the wide world out there.

Have you ever feel like you desperately want to grow up quickly? I used to hate the idea of growing up. I've always wanted to stay as I am, and in the comfort of my parents' protection, never needing to worry about anything at all, maybe except school. And THEN, I started growing up! To my dismay at that time. I didn't want to be old, or have to worry about being old, and worry about every other thing that evolves around me! Again, to my dismay (or shall I say good fortune?) I start to see things in a different light, and found that growing up has its advantages. I start appreciating the good ol' brain that's been with me all these years, and I try to learn to see without judgement. Of course,I have to admit, it wasn't easy at first, especially since I've been brought up in a society that (whether you like it or not) judge people, and quite sternly at that too. Of course, when there's a will, there's a way and so, I sorta kinda pushed the judgement part of me aside and see things in a neutral way. Of course, the judgement part has its pros and cons, but if I ever have to judge someone, I would certainly prefer to judge one by learning about that person than to judge simply by the cover, won't you agree?

And so, back to the point that I was trying to make, but as usual, I got distracted. One part of me is feeling the need to be free. Free to make choices, free to make mistakes, and free to learn from the mistakes I made. But..when you have parents like mine, (not saying it's a bad thing), they'd wouldn't want you to make mistakes at all, they'd want to protect you from any if possible, and try to make their child's life as perfect as it can be. I suppose it wouldn't be so bad if I was a spoiled brat, I wouldn't quite care at that point. Well, I guess life's unfair. You will never truly get what you most desire. Nothing can be done, except be thankful and content with all that you have now. I believe, when you find contentment, you'll find what you truly desire. Contentment. *winks*

"Enjoy youth while you can", they say. But I wonder...how can you truly enjoy it..when you know that you're still trapped in the protective, comfortable, golden cage?

33 Things Kids Should Do Before They're 10.

Okay, forgive my loooooonggg absence. And also, forgive my impudence for wanting to share this piece of article with all of you. I took it off MSN website. I think it should be known to the world, this article! All for the good of the kids. *shines*



33 Things Kids Should Do Before They're 10:



1. Roll on your side down a grassy bank.
(okay,when I was a kid, there wasn't any grassy bank. Though I MAY have done this one. *hopes*)

2. Make a mud pie.
(A mud pie? Worry not,for mud pie is not made of MUD. More like CHOCOLATE! Yummy. Unfortunately, I haven't accomplish this.)

3. Make your own modelling dough mixture.
(Nope, not yet.)

4. Read under a bedcovers with a torch.
(Ah-hah! This I have done! Definitely! *grins* *shhh!* Don't let my mom know! Tee hee.)

5. Make perfume from flower petals.
(OooH! This is interesting, I'd like to try this someday!)

6. Grow cress on a windowsill.
(Hmm, I may have grown cress before but not on a windowsill. More like the balcony.)

7. Make a papier mâché mask.
(I have no idea what this is but after Googling it, this is what I got. How to make papier mâché. Sounds like hard work.)

8. Build a sandcastle.
(How I wished. The last time I went to a beach...hmm...I have memories of me tasting the salt water, but that's it.)

9. Climb a tree.
(AHH! Something I have always wanted to do, even NOW! If only there was a tree that I could climb! My mom knew how to climb a tree! No fair! Hmph!)

10. Make a den in the garden.
(What garden? lol.)

11. Make a painting using your hands and feet.
(OooH! Hand painting, I've done. Back in school. Feet? Interesting. ;-) )

12. Organise your own teddy bears' picnic.
(Now why didn't I thought about that? They still clutter around my bed, today.)

13. Have your face painted.
(Would be interesting to have it painted.)

14. Play with a friend in the sand.
(Hmm, as long as they don't kick sand into my face, I'm perfectly fine with that. Though, it happened anyway.)

15. Make some bread.
(Mom wouldn't let me into the kitchen back then.)

16. Make snow angels.
(It doesn't snow in Malaysia! I think I tried it when I was in Korea, but oh no, it wasn't snowing that much yet when I was there. Pity.)

17. Create a clay sculpture.
(Hey! Cool! I'd go do one now! :D!)

18. Take part in a scavenger hunt.
(Why didn't anyone organise a scavenger hunt when I was a kid???)

19. Camp out in the garden.
(Again, WHAT garden??)

20. Bake a cake.
(I can bake a cake, NOW. Not then. Like I said, my mom thinks I'd burn the kitchen down. She still does now.)

21. Feed a farm animal.
(This, I should do!)

22. Pick some strawberries.
(Hmm, going to Cameron Highlands would've been a good idea.)

23. Play Pooh sticks.
(What are Pooh sticks? Someone enlighten me? :) )

24. Recognise 5 different bird species.
(The only birds I could identify here in KL are crows,pigeons, what else?)

25. Find some worms.
(Worms? My nephew found some. Lol.)

26. Ride a bike through a muddy puddle.
(I still have some slight phobia riding a bike.)

27. Make and fly a kite.
(I believed I flew one before, but not make one.)

28. Plant a tree.
(Where??)

29. Build a nest out of grass and twigs.
(This would be an interesting activity! If the birds can do it, so can we!)

30. Find 10 different leaves in the park.
(Back then, I was more interested in the playground, then the leaves.)

31. Grow vegetables.
(I lived in a condo, as a kid, where am I to grow vegetables? But it wasn't impossible. Just didn't thought about it.)

32. Make breakfast in bed for your parents.
(Hee hee hee...)

33. Make a mini assault course in your garden/the park
(Now this sounds like a lot of work, but once it's done, I'm very sure it's well worth it.)

Okay, THAT'S IT! Whatever I have done, or have not done...I'm making my kids do them! This is definitely an experience not to be missed! I mean, come on! Things that I never got to do...I have to say, is truly something I regret. Living in a perfect, protective bubble, to have things spoon-fed to you...isn't something I'd call a perfect childhood. Then again, there is the comfort of being protected, but, one must live life to the fullest! Even kids! Don't you all agree? :) Nothing's perfect, but as long as we're happy, it becomes perfect. Hehehe, I feel I may not make sense, but oh well! You get the drift.

Cheerio!
