strange and funny things

Strange and funny things happen all the time.

They do.

Just a few days ago, I got a phone call from Iman dearest, screaming in my ear, telling me that I am on the cover for Dewan Siswa's magazine for June edition.

I found out that...she wasn't pulling my leg.

If I could organize my feelings at that very moment, I would.

But I couldn't.

Why?

Because the emotions were cross-linking each other and there's no way to find out which one I'm feeling first and most.

A part of me was screaming "Why?".

Another part of me was feeling joy, somewhat.

Another part of me was just numb with disbelief.

Funny, don't you think?

I'm studying like a mad man. Please, oh God, please...expand my brain, will you? I need to fit in every single detail by this Sunday!

I don't want to die on Monday!

Ah...the horror that lurks around the corner everytime exams come close.

gone were the days...

*snip*

*swoosh*

*snip snip*

Gone...

Gone were the days when I used to look at my thick hair and wonder what happens if it's suddenly not so thick.

Gone were the days when I used to look at my long hair and wonder what happens if it's suddenly not so long.

Now...

Now my hair is thin.

Now my hair is short. Not so short, not so long either.

Quote from my hair dresser:

You lost 2 inches and 1 kilo! (of hair!) (2 inches literally, 1 kilo figuratively)

It's true, 2 inches off and he actually cut away most of my thick hair. SO yes, 1 kilo gone. Lol!

Today (22 May) is like any ordinary day.

Nothing special.

But, I'm looking forward to my next birthday.

Not because I enjoy growing old, mind you.

It's because I never felt truly happy... until today.

I feel so jovial and I have this funny urge to SPREAD my happiness!

I hope I did.

Tomorrow, I have to resume my daily torture: study!

Study until I lose my head, and my hair turns grey!

Wheeee! How wonderful!

Chocolates, anyone?

5...4...3...2...1...!

YAY!!! It's my birthday!!! Whee!!!
*Fireworks in the background*
*Corks popping out of wine bottles in all direction*
*Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday to meeeeeee...happy birthday to me!!!*

Ha ha ha! Yes, I'm having fun, sitting in front of this computer, celebrating on my own, my little birthday in my heart.
However, I want to thank EVERYBODY who wished me, all the same. I appreciate your wishes so much more. Seriously. It makes me happy! =D! I feel so light and merry...
Nothing much happened since well...it's only 9.22am.

Truth is, at this very minute, I CAME OUT!

So, imagine, this very minute 17 years ago inside the four walls of a cold hospital operating room...OUT CAME ME! =D!

What a pleasant surprise.

I'm just glad that I did not let the past 16 years of my life go wasted.

Each year was filled up quite well and appropriately.

No drugs, no juvenile crimes, no dropping out of school.

Yeah, I have to say I'm happy with my life.

My name is Zun San and I just turned 17. (Say goodbye to good sweet 16)

Throughout my life, I have never really done anything outstanding to the world or have spotlights following me around. In short, I lived a very simple life.

(Am still living the same ol' style!)

I have lovely parents and a (not so) lovely sister (I love you all the same!) ; my parents watched my sister and I grow up while I watched myself and my sister grow up.

I love to read.

However, ever since I was young, I was not exposed much to a place people called 'the library' and at that time, my parents were busy with work etc.. So, I practically grew up with normal reading materials and I didn't really read as much as I do now. I'm just very glad that knowledge is something everyone will gain as long as they live, because right now...I'm trying to catch up with everything I can get my hands on.

I love history.

This unprecedented longing for history is something I cannot figure out. Maybe because when my mom was in school, history was her best subject. Then again, I love Math and Biology and Chemistry...actually, reading is just fun. Don't look at me, I'm not a top scorer and I don't score exceedingly well for these subjects. I cannot explain why but that's the way it is. Life is a crazy thing. O.o!

I love chocolates too!

Give me just one and I'll swoon. Okay, that's so dramatic. OF course, I won't swoon, just having one. But I'll get the sugar rush and then become 'high'. He he. You can experiment on me, if you want. All my close friends did and they enjoy doing it again, and again, and again...LOL!

By the way, did I mention that I pretty much like wine too? ;) Red wine to be precise. Well, so far I've tasted red wine and...it's good! heh heh.

I'm sure everybody know how it feels when it's your birthday and then a friend that you may not be close to might suddenly pop by just to wish you a simple 'happy birthday'.

Yes, that's how I feel. I feel exultantly joyful! Elated, I say! And it definitely made my day. Well, that's for this morning. I'm not sure how the day unfolds, but if miracle happens, I'll let you all know. *winks*

2 down, 4 more to go.

Yesterday was my Math exam. For AS level - A levels June examination. So far so good. I'm really thankful to God that I didn't break down or anything. The paper went on smoothly, or so I hope. My next 2 papers will be Biology and that's gonna be on the 4th of June. My last 2 papers will be Chemistry, on the 6th of June.

Pray for me, for I'm going through a very tough battle. Not only that these papers cost me quite a fortune, but heck, I don't want to fail!

I have to do this right. I don't want to repeat, thus wasting my time and my parents' money. I'm very happy that my parents are always here with me to give me support. Somehow, I'll get through this.
