If I were to stay back in Kwang Hua, I would have entered my holiday mood by now. -_-
All my Kwang Hua friends are already off school and started gong xi fa cai-ing since yesterday. Me? My Chinese New Year holiday starts on Wednesday, WTH. Less time to grab ang paus. == That's why I am being such a good girl right now, finishing up my Maths and Business Studies homework. And I was so stupid to leave my Maths textbook in my desk. All I can do now is wait till tomorrow to rush those Maths questions in school. What a great way to start off a very blue Monday. *rolls eyes*
Oh, yea. I thought of inviting a bunch of crazy friends from my old school over but I feel that this year's CNY holidays are just too short, don't you think so? In fact, the holidays for CNY are getting shorter and shorter every year if you haven't noticed. This is so weird. No wonder our ang pau money is getting lesser and lesser each year 'cause we don't have sufficient time to, uh, earn them. -_-
BTW, I REALLY got in my school's Photography Club! Can't wait to learn new techniques of taking pretty pictures! :D Su Li Tan and Jil Ee Tan, you Tan people just wait. My photography skills will be a gazillion times better than yours after I get my own DSLR. >:J MUAHAHAHAHA.
I have just finished reading my Accounting textbook. I can finally understand now how one can get so attached to a certain subject, like how Ccy loves History. I almost dropped those three Sciences and wanted to be an Arts stream student because I felt that there's no point studying those Science subjects as they don't interest me anymore but my mum successfully talked me out of it. So, now I'm taking those subjects just for the sake of taking it. Kiasu syndrome, I must say.
Well, I think my love for Accounting is as deep as Ccy's love for History.
Or perhaps, even deeper.

Have you eaten that before? I like the dried cube-sized mangoes and sliced bananas inside. Mmm. :9 But the thing is, we bought that stupid bag of Tropical Nuts & Fruits Mix for 125 bucks!
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!!
Yes, you can. >:)
We bought it for 125 bahts from Thailand. :PHAHAHA, I know I'm lame. x)

Anyway, now we have to choose which club we want to enter but there are just too many choices; it's very frustrating. I was supposed to pass it up yesterday but I didn't know which club to choose so I pretended I didn't bring my form. :X When they were about to collect the forms, I was called out by a teacher. He gave me a note :
I was speechless and was so LOL-ed out. My mother contacted the school just to tell me THIS?! And they even bothered to pass me this message?! Shocking; this school surprises me. Funny thing is, although this was just a small note but it had touched me deeply. That morning, my mother didn't agree to let me join the photography club as a DSLR was necessary; but then, she changed her mind and called up the school just to inform me that she allowed me to join after all.
It's the little things that matter the most, right? :')
In the end, I didn't choose anything 'cause I couldn't decide. Cookery sounds fun... What? Everyone joins cookery there; don't look at me as if I'm preparing myself to become a housewife - NEVER. And then, there's archery... But subscription fees is needed. I'd like to do modern dance as most of my friends are there but I'm afraid they'll be teaching some weird Indian, Chinese or Malay dance. So boring. -_- And should I join um, cheerleading? D: My friends are forcing me to join 'cause I can split. *speechless* But I couldn't do the scorpion stunt and the bridge; besides, I'm so fat. LOL. I have one more day to make a decision. Gosh, I hate being so fickle-minded.
BTW, my English essay would get at least 25/30 in Kwang Hua, but here? I just got a mere 17/30. Damn embarrassing. Time to work on my English, man. Okay, I have to go finish up my Add Maths homework now. And my sister wants to curl my hair. LMAO, bye!

I knew there were three quizzes that we were going to be tested on today - Add Maths, Maths and Accounting - so I should be studying and revising yesterday, right? But, NOOO. Ru Min who thinks she is so damn smart glued herself in front of the TV and watched Chuck the whole night. And this morning, before I went to school, I confidently (or maybe TOO confident) told my mum with a smug smile, "Chill, mum. The tests are going to be SO easy. I know EVERYTHING!"
When the Add Maths paper was handed down, we were only asked to do four questions. I mean, FOUR questions? In 45 minutes? *snorts* It's like asking me to finish a slice of apple pie in an hour. SERIOUSLY, was 45 minutes even necessary? *rolls eyes*
Sadly, it was.
It took me about half an hour before I finished my first question. Yes, the FIRST one. WHAT? IT WAS HARD! D: I was scribbling like mad on the foolscap paper and in the end, I DIDN'T GET THE RIGHT ANSWER. Like, WTH! >:O I scrunched up the paper
I paused a while when I was doing the second question, but it wasn't as hard as the first. The first one was really like shit. >:( And when I reached the third one, HALLELUJAH! So freaking easy, even a baby could solve it! :D I think God wrote that question just for me just so that I can gain more marks. Thanks, Lord. :] And then, "Times up, pens down." Fine, I shall just leave the last question. I read the last question and really wanted to slap myself. DAMN EASY! >:O Should've just skipped the first question and finish the rest!
As far as I know, three of my classmates managed to finish all of them. I was very pissed at myself until I almost dug my own eyeballs out. >8( BTW, the 8 symbolises empty sockets. -_-
NVM, Add Maths, I still love you! :3
Next, Maths. We thought it was a quiz but it wasn't. LOL. Finally, some air to breathe. The teacher allowed us to discuss and refer to our notes and textbooks. Woohoo, awesome! :D But if you think about it this way, there wasn't any excitement lah 'cause I'm sure everyone didn't have a hard time finishing it. No kan-cheong-ness. :/
And Accounting! I LOOOVE ACCOUNTING! :D It's fun counting money 'cause I LOOOVE MONAYYY! $_$ (Don't burst my bubble by telling me that I'll be counting someone else's money lah, please. ==) Anyway, I finished my paper in five minutes and sat there like a pro. Okay, I did check and made some amendments but there was nothing much to correct lah ('cause I'm so smart, right? *smirks*). I didn't really think twice about my answer and started doing my own stuff. After the teacher collected our papers, my friend asked me, "What did you write under current liabilities?" And I replied proudly,"Loan and creditors, of course." She shook her head wildly and said with eyes wide open, "No, loan is a long-term liability."
That was when I freaked out. I can't even score in an Accounting quiz (or FA - Fun Assessment - as my teacher calls it)? SHIT LAH. >8O
My head spun as I asked around for the answer. And unfortunately, the answer wasn't something that starts with an "L" and ends with an "N". -_- Bank overdraft was the answer, WTH. My brain stopped working at that time and didn't even thought of that. Phailed lah, Ru Min, PHAILED! After THREE years of stupid Pilihan 4 : Perdagangan dan Keusahawanan, you still can't get it, right?!! WHAT A DISGRACE! *bangs head on wall*
Darn, I feel so ashamed of myself. It's like the first time not finishing an exam paper! My coursework marks will surely be deducted. No more 100%. :'( Now I understand how my seniors failed or got 40% and below for their first Add Maths test. I feel SO bad. And sad. AND MAD. >:(
So, the moral of the story is : Never be too confident about yourself.
I shall go dig my teddy bear's glassy eyeballs now. Grr.

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag, drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
This caught my attention as I was thinking the exact same thing, feeling so useless and unwanted. And then I heard :
Do you know that there's still a chance for you, 'cause there's a spark in you. You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine, just own the night like the 4th of July!
Whoa, this was like fuel to my soul. IGNITE, SHINE, OWN THE NIGHT. 'Cause I'm a firework! :D I was so rejuvenated after I heard that song, it had encouraged me to stand up and feel good about myself. What does it matter if I'm a nobody? It takes a NOBODY to be SOMEBODY, you heard that right!
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag,
Drifting through the wind
Wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards,
One blow from caving in?
Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you?
You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colours burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
You're gonna leave 'em falling down-own-own
You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe your reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know
You just gotta ignite, the light, and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
You're gonna leave 'em falling down-own-own
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through-ough-ough
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, Oh, Oh"
You're gonna leave 'em falling down-own-own
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
I guess everyone has already heard this song except for me; that was my first time hearing Katy Perry's Firework. It's just plain awesome. :] Motivational and encouraging. And FYI, it's my new favourite song.

Let me share with you some stuff about my school. :) Firstly, THE TEACHERS ARE GREAT! :D Seriously, NO LAZY ONES! So awesome! I was so happy when I first realised that the teachers ACTUALLY guide their students and not SIT at their tables to make their chairs hot. I'm not saying in my old school there are NO hardworking ones; there is, but very few. They just want to finish their syllabus as quick as possible so that they have more time to sit down and relax.
And I'm not in the science stream in my school. Okay, fine, I am, but we don't go by S1 and S2 or something. We just go by names - not alphabetical. If you're on the KBSM stream, the classes are 4 Alpha, 4 Beta, 4 Delta and so on (cannot remember anymore :P). If you're on the IGCSE stream like I am, the classes are 10 Sigma (first! :D), 10 Theta and 10 Kappa. Yes, there are only three IGCSE classes. :) I'm in 10 Sigma. Subjects I'm taking for O-Levels are English, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths, Add Maths, Business Studies and Accounting. Two additional subjects which are not included are Malaysian Studies (a combination of History and Moral) and PE. And the only subject I'm taking for SPM is BM. WTH, right? If I get an A+ for it, it seems like I've only gotten an A+ in SPM while others are getting 17A+'s and stuff. Pffft.
So, the school rules. SO. VERY. LONGGAR. -_- They don't need to pin up their fringe, just make sure their fringe is not covering their eyes; can use any type of hair accessories as long as they're in shades of blue, black and white. AWESOME, RIGHT? :D And their SOCKS, walao. We have to wear school socks, but they don't care if your socks is over your ankle or not; you just have to WEAR it. LOL. They're prefects, right, judging from this week, I think they only have to go for duty during assemblies only. SO RELAX! :O
Speaking about assemblies, we don't sit according to our classes. We sit according to our forms. So, the youngest (Form 1) is in the front and the oldest (Form 5) behind. And the Form 5s have the chance to sit on chairs - those auditorium ones - 'cause they're the oldest in our school (don't include the teachers lah). Okay, so on Monday I went for assembly, there's this girl behind me who stretched her leg so long that she keeps kicking my butt. I turned around to look at her and she looked back at me stupidly. YES, STUPIDLY. I think she doesn't have a brain that's why she can't think. And zero manners. *rolls eyes* I hope not all Sri KL students are like that. Screw her.
The funny thing is, we have to write policies/rules and regulations at the back of our exercise books. Like, "1. Do not use correction tape/liquid paper." or "7. Draw margins on every page of work." and even "12. Respect yourself and others." LOL. I think it's really lame (and a total waste of time and energy and money and trees) but the teachers say they want us to write that down so that no students will ask them anything because everything is already there. Quite smart also lah. :]
And the way their teachers teach is so... kindergarten-ish. Nothing like the teachers in Kwang Hua teach - a world of difference. o_o Here, the teachers don't say, "Take out your textbooks and turn to page..." They say, "Take out a piece of paper. We are going to do an activity." What I'm trying to say is, we do a lot of practical work here and less writing. I might even say some of the "activities" are irrelevant to the subject. For example, our Chemistry told us to write down the words mouse, tree, laugh, rain and train, and then form a sentence out of it. I was like, "For what?" She did explain in the end lah but I still think it's nonsense. LOL.
Oh, yes! Our uniforms! Gone were the days of wearing white shirts and blue pinafores... *sniffs* Our uniforms are kinda... special. On Mondays, we (girls) wear a white shirt (like normal ones) with a tie and a dark grey skirt. The rest of the week, we wear a white (some are yellow; mine's white) polo-looking tee with thin black stripes and the dark grey skirt. Oh, and black shoes with black Sri KL socks for everyday. I know it's weird; it doesn't even look like a uniform! When I go to the A1 tution centre and walk into the class, everyone will look at my uniform. LOL. Fei Ya didn't even realise I was wearing a UNIFORM. She thought I had become so sporty and was wearing a polo tee. HAHAHAHAHAHA.
The air-cond in my classroom is really super duper cold. My lips cracked and my skin is so dry. Zero humidity in there, I tell ya. We can bring our jackets/sweaters to school but because I forgot to bring it to school, I had high fever. Great start. -_- And from Monday to Thursday, we have to sit in that class until 3.40pm (school ends). Mondays aren't so bad as we are wearing the white shirts and all; Fridays aren't so bad, too as we leave school earlier (12.50pm); the rest of the days are murder. D: I heard that our headmaster is going to sell school jackets (maybe blazers?) to students of Sri KL 'cause of the chilly atmosphere in the classroom. SO COOL! :D
Ah, the food. We have two recesses! :D :D :D We don't need to pay the food as we already did (included in the school fees); we just have to take a tray and line up. BTW, the food from the first recess (tea) is really... unappealing. My brother says the food "no hope already". LOL. The second recess is longer 'cause it's lunch. I will not say the food is awesome but it is definitely better than the food from the first recess. And the students from every form have recess together 'cause you know why? The school only has 1200+ students (and the headmaster is so proud of it until he announced it during assembly?). D: Compared to Kwang Hua, that's like a tenth (or maybe not) of the students there! So few!
Now, my class. The people are okay lah, quite friendly but just a few. There's this girl I particularly dislike 'cause when I speak to her, she doesn't answer. And when she actually answers, she doesn't have any eye contact with you. She's the rudest person I've ever met. Irritates me A LOT. And her attitude is just plain snobbish and very spoilt. I don't think I'll ever get close to her; such a weird person. A real despo (I hope you know what I mean by that). And in every class, there's always an Ong Kah Shin and a Chong Eu Meng. :P The girl sitting beside me is another Ong Kah Shin. She's also a new student and she was previously in Chung Hwa Independent High School. She took the UEC exams and the PMR exams and for both she had straight A's. I was like, WHOA. And she's in her school volleyball team. DOUBLE WHOA. An all-rounder. o_o
The Chong Eu Meng of my class is very funny. Our English teacher told us to introduce ourselves and use one word to describe ourselves. So, he said, "My name is something something something and the word that describes me is not a word; it's an acronym." We were like, ohh-kayy. "And that acronym is DSLR." We blinked at each other and the teacher said, "Well." LOL, awkward moment, man. That Chong Eu Meng really loves photography. When our class teacher asked us, "What theme do you want for our class?" and he said, "Can we have it as photography, please please please?" *speechless* Even in Facebook, his name was set as Canon Nikon Chua. LMAO, even more of a photography freak than I am.
Anyway, my class has a German (I'm not sure whether it's true or not as he looks Chinese), an Indonesian, an Indian (very sweet girl :3) and a Malay; the rest are Chinese. I have no friends yet but I hope I'll have some eventually. There are some of them which I already know (they're from my primary school) and when they first saw me, their eyes were like THIS big. *shows a big 'O' sign using the thumb and the index finger* Yes, THIS big! O_O Like an owl's. ;) HAHAHAHAHA, so funny. Well, at least I have Yvonne in my class. :)
Oh, and our exam system (only for the IGCSE stream students) is sorta... different. We don't have monthly test and stuff. Our monthly test is the daily work teacher gives us and some random pop quiz, which means we have to DO our homework and hand them in ON TIME or else marks will be deducted. I mean, REAL marks. Not play-play ones. o_o SO HARD! HOW ARE WE GOING TO SCORE? :( FYI, I've just taken my first test yesterday. English, forty marks. It's just the first week of school and we have our first TEST. And we were informed about the test just TWO days before it took place. What the crap, man. -_-
So, I think that's about it. I actually have more to tell but I couldn't possibly type them all out here. I miss all of my friends so much. :( Every night, I dream that I'm still studying in Kwang Hua. Put on my blue and white uniform, having classes in 4S2, laughing out loud like nobody's business... And when I wake up, it'll dawn on me that it's just a dream. In reality, I'll never wear a blue pinafore to school again, never going to sit at my seat in 4S2, never going to laugh with friends when we go to the canteen... I feel so lifeless. :( I think I'm going to cry. Someone please HUG me.
I MISS ALL OF YOU!!! x'(
Well, if I can't change the fact that I'm already there, I'll just have to accept it. Don't worry, I'll creep in to Kwang Hua once in a while, so expect me, alright? :P Oh, and here's a glimpse of being in Sri KL.
Uniform worn on Mondays.
My school badge (that doesn't look like a school badge :P).
Uniform worn for the rest of the week.
School socks which are cooler than Kwang Hua ones. >:P
PE tee and shorts. Yes, I'm in the Blue team. Go Blue! :D
School badge on the PE shorts.
School exercise book. What was I thinking to choose an Add Maths book for a picture? ==I shall post up more pictures next time. BTW, don't call my house/send me anything; I've shifted. :] So, basically, you can't contact me anymore. HAHAHAHAHA, bye bye world!
