Earth Hour 2009!

Yay! We switched off our lights from 8:30 - 9:30 PM and played with candles on the balcony. Then I had this brilliant brilliant idea, so I took the Shofar (ram's horn) that my parents got from Israel, stood on a set in the balcony, and blew on it. It was disgusting. It tasted kind of sweet and salty-ish, and it smelled like blood and saliva. I should've wiped it before I blew it... who knows how many people have blown on it? Ewww.

Anyway the idea of it is cool. At about 9 PM I took this really nice candleholder I have. The place where you put the candle is translucent and shaped like a rose, and a green vine with a rose and some leaves on it is curled around the golden stem. I took it and went down to the backyard with JH to just walk around coz I thought it was kinda magical. You know, walking around trees and ponds and stuff with a candle? Then our dogs Lexus and Guiness (both female) joined us.

Then my bros started looking for us so we hid in the outdoor kitchen. Then YuWen came for a sleepover and she, her dad, my bros, and my mum were calling us. So we ran and hid behind the bathrooms outside, then inside the bathroom. Then JH ran and hid beside some plants, and I hid behind a big chair thing. When we were sure they weren't looking, we both ran to the playground swings and pretended like we'd been there all along.

And they actually believed it, so we stuck to our story until the next day. And we found out that YuWen and her dad drove outside to look for us. Lol. Oh well. Fun while it lasted.

Today

Sarah and Rachel are gonna skip school this Wednesday to go to 1U before it opens so that they can buy David Archuleta's album (they're helping me and Em buy, too). You get a concert ticket for Archie's concert at Sunway Lagoon Ampitheatre (11 April, 3 PM) if you buy his album at Rock Corner, Victoria Music Centre, or Artist Gallery - WHILE STOCKS LAST! Some other students are also gonna skip school.

I really really hope we'll be able to get tickets! It'll be like my first-ever celebrity concert! >.< Arghhh! If we get tickets, I'm going to listen to all of Archie's songs and try to memorize them so I can sing along at his concert! Hard work, but Zero Gravity is really nice! Go listen!

We gave each other nicknames after underwear brands!!

Charmaine: Mamy Poko (diapers  =P She doesn't want that name but we call her that and now Mr. Kevin is calling her that too)

Rachel See: Xixili

Michaella: Scarlett

Omg. My glasses broke on in half on Tuesday so I had to go to school with blurry vision. After school I went to the optometrist to get new glasses (I didn't know what to choose, so my mum had called earlier and asked someone she knew to help me, but I still took 1 hour to decide), but they aren't ready til Friday, and I also got superglue. Part of the lense cracked off but I managed to superglue them back XD. I'm wearing the glasses right now!

My uncle from America (I call him Si Che) is leaving tomorrow at 6 AM! He brought a box of really delicious chocolates with caramel and nuts in them. We had this sort of farewell party for him and my aunt who is leaving for Australia (she migrated there; Tuan Tuan's mum), but it was really just a normal dinner with some relatives. Me, my bros, and YuWen and ShiWei did handstands/cartwheels/bridges. ShiWei can tuck his feet behind his head. Oh, and Rachel (my cousin) found the star tortoise that belonged to JH in the garden. He set it free a few years ago, but it's still here and now it's quite big. Rachel's mum recently had a newborn baby girl and she's adorable.

And I just found out that Si Che, his daughters Justine and Jacqueline, and a few friends went for a Jonas Brothers concert last year. People like these... Life isn't fair. YuWen and her family are going to America this August, too, and ShiHao already got accepted by one of the schools he applied for and is on the waiting list for another. Arghh!

Eyes?
Uhhh. 4.

Lips?
I like it that I have quite a small mouth, but my lips arethin. And they used to be horribly dry, like  I had scales on my lips that were constantly flaking off, but thanks to the Vaseline a doctor gave me, they're fine now. Uhhh. Omg I can never make up my mind. I took 1 hour to choose which glasses to get. 3 or 4.

Skin?
Ugh. 3. It changes color waaay too often, and I have spots!! And I'm serious about the color-changing thing. I'm like a chameleon. Sometimes it's tan with pink cheeks, sometimes it's okay with pink cheeks, sometimes it's yellow, sometimes it's tan/okay/yellow with no pink cheeks (ugly). In Japan, it was quite fair, and after I took a shower in the place we stayed in Hakuba, my cheeks were PINK BEYOND BELIEF. I was so shocked.

Promise that you are honest with everything here. TYPE "I PROMISE" BELOW THIS
I think I was honest. I need more time to think about things la. I kind of promise.

Now tag at least three people:

Too lazy to blog. Bye. 

Oh, and Si Che (I don't know what the pinyin is, so I'll just spell it as Si Che), Justine and Jacqueline's dad, from America, is here for a business trip! He's gonna stay in our house for a few days. But he's gonna sleep in my room so I have to sleep in my bros' room. Sob.

They went swimming first, then we ate dinner (I kept going from the party to the study room to use my laptop, back and forth). I stuck around to watch them sit on balloons to win prizes. One boy burst his balloon the second JH said, "GO!", and I'm not exaggerating. A few others had trouble popping theirs. After the balloon-popping, I went off. Sadly I missed out on the pinata-smashing.



Pretty balloons! Imported from America, so they cost RM4.50 and/or RM3.50 each coz of the pretty designs. Some of the balloons are local-made, so they're RM2.50.



Look at all the food! Yumyum. Honey-grilled chicken wings, prawns, corn-on-the-cob, spaghetti... *stomach growls ferociously*



JH (middle) and 4 of his 10 friends.



The chocolate cake (btw, it says "The King JIA HE").



The adorable pinata. This is quite an artistic shot, if I do say so myself. Although I didn't do it on purpose, I was too lazy to move the pinata so I just took the pic like that.

I left at 6:30 PM or so to go to Nicole's (new girl) 12th birthday party. Emily, Chanelle Dawn, Shu Way, Jonathan Teh/Sharif Salmia (or something. He's Pakistani! Cool eh?), Jason, and a bunch of other people I don't know were there. Sorry, no pics. Sadly I didn't bring my camera. I can be so daft sometimes.

They were eating when I came, and I found out that I had missed the balloon-popping and treasure hunt and who knows what else, making me wish that I could've came earlier. I ate a bit, and we played with Nicole's adorable rabbits. I realized just how adorable they were. Those big big eyes and silky soft fur!

Those rabbits reminded me of one time when I tried on this beaaautiful jacket with fox fur at the collar with some longer strands of fur poking out, and rabbit fur lining every inch of the inside of the jacket (I think the outside was leather)...  I know it's cruel, but it's just soooo comfortable! I hope someday we'll have faux fur that feels like the real thing.

Oh, and I used to have rabbits when I was very young but I think they died coz JH shook their cage too much. I also killed my turtle unintentionally by shaking it upside-down by the tail (and I lead JH to do it too). Seriously la, how could they die so easily? Anyways I'm sorryyy! Poor turtles. D=

*ahem* ANYWAY, like I was saying before I so rudely interrupted myself, we then noticed a shelf of exotic memorabilia and proceeded to ask Nicole's mum all about them. They had some little pyramids and a small metal book with The Ten Commandments carved on it from Egypt, a shisha/hookah (look it up! You like smoke something from it that is strawberry/pineapple/etc-flavored) -- Jonathan got so excited when Nicole's mum started talking about Pakistan and shishas (he likes shishas, and he and Dawn were arguing about whether he was addicted to it r not), it was so funny -- an old replica of those scrolls you see people fighting for in kung fu movies, weird wooden slippers from India that are impossible to wear, a little statue of the 7-star hotel in Dubai (I went there! To Dubai, I mean), and other equally fascinating things from China and etc. 

We roasted marshmallows, sang "Happy Birthday" to Nicole and one other lady who shared the same birthday as her, ate cake, talked, and played a game organized by Nicole's mum. We all got these really cool custom-made shoe keychains. When Shu Way took his shoe keychain out and we saw that it was pink, some of us screamed and started obsessing about it. In the end he gave it to Dawn, who gave it to Chanelle, which isn't fair coz now she has two. Then Nicole opened her presents.

Then Em had to go home at 9PM. My driver came at that time too, but I didn't want to go home so Nicole's mum suggested that the driver come and eat, so they went and called him in. Me and Chanelle watched as the others took turns playing racing games on the PS2. Then Dawn and Shu Way (Nicole accidentally referred to them as "Dawn and his brother" -- twice!) and Jonathan had to go home, so it was only me and Chanelle left (not including the other people whom I do not know), so I went. It was like so fun la.

JH is nuts. He kept waving a piece of dried mango my parents brought back from Thailand in front of my face and saying, "Mango alive, mango alive!" You know that lweird ittle baby doll called Baby Alive that can actually pee? Yeah. Then he started saying "piano alive" and said that if you played certain notes on the piano, it meant the piano was sad/happy/sick, and if you closed the piano cover thing, it meant the piano was dead but you could still play it.

My brother is so weird. But so funny.

Ho-hum. I finally finished copying down the piano notes to Helena by My Chemical Romance on my trial download of NoteWorthy Composer 2 by watching a vid of mk13Rain, who is really talented, playing it by ear on the piano. Some parts sound a bit weird, but that's what's mk13Rain played, so whatever. I took like hours doing it, including yesterday. But you know how I get when I'm desperate. Remember Spring Nicht? I practiced it for 10 hours. Insane, I know.

mk13Rain even played It's Not a Fashion Statement, It's a Deathwish on the piano, which is like unbelievable, coz it actually sounds good. Really good. I want to piano notes to that! Ahhh!

If only I could be like that about schoolwork. Sigh.

Lol. That's my manicdote results (it's like a game). If you dunno what a manicdote is, add smarterchild@hotmail.com to your MSN contact list, then type "manicdote" to play.

Oh, and I apologized to Marianna on Wednesday, after PE (apparently they came again). She looked so touched or something, and she said it was okay and at least we apologized. Or something like that. I can't really remember what she said exactly. Omg. I felt like sooo super nice after that. At least now she won't think us GRC-ians are really that bad. Emily asked her, "Why don't you guys come for chapel again?" But she said they had to go to Seremban.

But you know, I saw them on Friday after chapel at the guardhouse, standing near their van and talking.

Helena Sims 2 Version by Jaydee

Don't bother looking that up on Youtube coz Youtube removed it. Copyright crap again. Arghhh! It had like so many views. What a pity. You can watch it here though (click on "Storyline" at the left side of the page to understand the video more, because it's kinda confusing. But it's a really awesome, sad video. Tash and I ♥ it. Since like 2006 or 7 or something. I thought that black-haired guy in the vid (Gerard) was so hot. And I still do. =P

And as some of you know, VenetianPrincess has a new perfume called Tiara, and she held a contest on Youtube, where you're supposed to come up with an advertisement for it. There are like 7 finalists now, and you can watch them here and vote for your fave at Venetian Princess' Website. Here's my absolute fave. It's so funny!

 

Creative Category Finalist ~ The Receptionist

This one is pretty good too. It's a bit sad and sends shivers up my spine.

A Few Minutes Later

I have a sudden urge to go into fangirl mode.

So I will.

He is the reason for global warming! So smoking hot. Omg, I love him I love him I love him. One girl on Youtube posted a comment saying that her "b*tch friend" fainted during a TH concert, and when she woke up she was in a room with Bill, Georg, and Gustav (dunno where Tom was), and Georg hugged her and said he was so scared for her, and she kissed him on the cheek. That girl is 13. NOOOO I HATE HER I HATE HER!! I was so jealous when I read it I could just die. Some people have all the luck!

I suppose I should be grateful I can afford to buy TH's stuff, and live in a decent house and have decent clothes and a decent bed and an aircond in my room. And why are some people so inhumanly beautiful *coughbillkaulitzcough*? Well at least I still have my nose and skin and my limbs, not like some pitiful people who don't have noses, have skin grafts, and don't have arms and legs... I don't know what that has to do with anything, but ya.

I want Tokio Hotel's new album! It was supposed to come out this month, but they pushed the date back to late May or early June! Sob! At least now I'll have some more time to save up for it. Somehow I don't think my parents would be willing to pay for it...

OMG, ich liebe liebe liebe dich Bill! >.<

Oh, and it's a holiday next week. Wheeee~!

P.S. With some help from Sapphira, I've come up with a name for Emily: Betsy Connie. Isn't it beautiful? "Betsy" is a very cow-y name, and Sapphira says "Connie" sounds very goat-y. So Emily's name is now Betsy Connie on my phone's contact list.

My bros saw, so JH and JW went and painted on their faces. JH found that it was a quite hard We went downstairs and watched the last half or quarter of Vertical Limits with my bros and Aunty Lori and ate pizza for dinner. My grandma called me crazy when she saw the eyeliner. Then we washed the eyeliner off with lotion and makeup remover, which was super mafan, but totally worth it, and took a shower.



JW



JH





JQ, Emily, and Guiness (dog)

At about 8:30 PM, after we showered, we played hide-and-seek-in-the-dark with my brothers (JQ, JW, JH). 2 of us would be the seekers who waited outside the AV room (TV room) coz being the only seeker is scary coz the AV room was pitch-black. It was so incredibly fun.

Then Emily and I watched Get Smart (WATCH IT, IT'S SO FUNNY) until midnight, and Emily had a midnight snack (instant Maggi Mee Goreng or something) which was way too spicy, so she added some sauce to it, but then it tasted really weird so she threw some away. We also had some instant mushroom soup.





We read magazines for a while and talked until 3-something AM. I think we probably fell asleep by 4 AM or earlier, and in the morning it was so hard to get up but oh well. I kept trying to sleep in school today even tho it was kinda hard to coz it was so uncomfortable, and I even drooled a bit on my hand. So gross.

My parents were in Thailand, that's why we got to sleep so late. XD Perfect timing. Not that I don't like having them around, but if they were there, my mom would've made us go to bed by midnight or even before that.

OMG. I have to practice the piano now and I forgot. Stupid piano. Byebye!


11:10 PM

Done! I hate scales and contrary motions and arpeggios, but River Flows in You by Yiruma is sooo nice. And now I remembered that I still have piano homework to do... =.='' Swt. But it's only one page and not so much.


I HATE THEORY AND I HATE SCALES AND ETC.


But I like piano songs.

tokiohotelchannel finally posted a new episode of TH TV! Do you know how long I had to wait for it? 2-3 months! It was like forever!! AND NOW I CAN'T WATCH IT. It says "this video is not available in your country"! I am so boiling mad! I used to be able to watch it before, and now! Now I can't! All those copyright claims and the this-video-is-not-available-in-your-country things and stuff and so stupid!

STUPID STUPID YOUTUBE. GAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!

5:09 PM

Well I watched the video. Posted by someone else. In really crappy quality. I guess I'll have to get used to watching every single TH TV episode like this. Forever. =.='' It's called Party, Fans, and Table Dance and it's about their fan party in Germany on Nov 30, 2008. There were like fans from Germany, Austria, Latvia (wherever that is), Czech Republic, etc., and America there. They actually flew all the way to Germany for the fan party.
Rich people. I wish I could do that.

The fan party looked sooooo awesome. Bill & Tom dared Gustav to dance on a table for one minute, and he did, so they paid him 500 Euro each (omg). I am so super jealous. I feel kind of weird. Half of me is excited after watching the vid, and the other half is just, well, emo.  I know I know, I am the type to get emo about these things. Or maybe I'm bored. I don't know. I guess I'm just mad at Youtube for not letting me watch TH TV, and for some stupid reason I can't load TH's website. This has been a really bad day. Forgive the lack of hyperness in this part of the post.

I'm not in the mood to blog anymore.

JH got 2 pet scorpions. I wish he got a tarantula instead, like ShiWei. ShiWei got a chile rose tarantula or something. It's not so big, light, can't jump, not that hairy, and has really adorable tiny eyes. If you look it up on Google or something tho, it doesn't look like the one SW has.

Stupid Youtube.

Omg. Yesterday was so embarrassing! A group from YWAM (Youths With a Mission; another group from Brazil came to my church and did this really awesome pantomime show! You should've seen it!) from Australia (I think, although they were Norwegian, Canadian, and American) came to our school to have PE with us and share in chapel. They let us play a game in chapel, and the audience was so extremely noisy! Especially the juniors coz they were screaming so much in their high-pitched voices, but the middlers and seniors were noisy too.

Me, in the middle of the screaming crowd: Hey, *Bobo, it's so embarrassing they're so noisy right?

Bobo: Oh... huh.

Sarah: *to me, so Bobo can't hear* But his (Bobo's) group is also noisy.

Me: Exactly.

So subtle. I don't think it worked though.

Anyways like I was saying, it was so humiliating! They (the YWAM group) must think remember us as a group of noisy, rude, disrespectful people now. ): If I were them, I know I would. After they left, Mr Kevin came and gave us all a scolding, and he even counted the number of times they said "be quiet" (not sure if he included "shh"): 64. Emily wanted to go look for them to apologize, but someone said they went home already.

Ish. There are 4 kittens in our school, kept in a box with cloth and newspaper. Bryant put it there coz the mum gave birth near the electricity wires or something. But she comes back to feed them at night, I think. The kittens are so adorable and so young they can't even open their eyes.

I had a nightmare. I dreamt was in the mall with my family and friends and I lost 2 hamsters I took from the pet shop (but not stole; that is the way of dreams, things don't make sense) in the toilets. Then I lost them and so me, PaulMae, and one other girl went back to the toilet to look, but for some reason there was a bathtub in the toilet, and in it was...

... a huge white cat with fangs and BLOOD all over its body. It was bigger than any household cat I've ever seen. It looked as us, and didn't look very friendly, so we ran screaming out of the toilet. The mall told everyone to leave that floor and go to another floor. I don't know why we didn't just leave the mall, but ya.

It was so scary. And I wasn't even thinking about cats before I slept.
