I like to dance all night, summons the day
But that's how I play, yeah that's how I play
I said who are you? Don't matter who you are
So we dance all night and dance all day

I say, I say

We're gonna fuel the fire, gonna stoke it up
We're gonna sip this wine and pass the cup
Who needs avenues, who needs reservoirs
Gonna show this town how to kiss these stars

I say, I say

We're gonna hunt to kill, gonna skin the hide
A yelp and scream and away I ride
And every drop that spills on every plot of ground
It's all for you for what you found

I say, I say
I say, I say

It's gonna take your head
And gonna drive you home
It's gonna keep on, keep on, keep on
And then forever roam

craze

i think my baking craze is slowly coming back..

french pear tart

choc chip scones


this is starting to be a food blog eh? haha

cinnabon bon bon

when the family's over..there's more motivation to bake

i love it when the double volume effect takes over..

spiral crazy

i want my holidays

NOW

i love conan o'BRI...en....

i'm gonna missssss him!

i have to wait 3 months?
damn..

i freakin love this song!

in conclusion..

uni offers weren't as exciting as i thought it would be..

so much for all the waiting and hoping and wondering..

so sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

waiting sucks..

heya...
its been two months again since my last post...
i'm hopeless..

so i'm in malaysia now...
on holidays...
while waiting for my uni offers

waiting sucks..

i've been doing nothinggggg
being the biggest bum ever..

i've been watching the aus open almost 24-7
vamos rafa!
so now its over...
what am i gonna do now???

i am soooooo bored...
help!

finally

well HELLO there!
its been almost two months since my last post!
that was the first day of hari raya! haha
soooooooo much has happened these past months...
its the reason why this blog is close to dead

first of all, i have to say that i have finally graduated baby!
i am DONE with high school..and school in general!
well except for uni, but just let me enjoy this moment for a bit
i am soooo happy that i have finally, finalllly FINISHED school!
man! 12 years!
that's crazy
i've been at school for practically my whole life and now i never have to anymore...
that's just weird..
awesome!
but a bit sad too..

there's definitely things i am NOT going to miss...
from now on,

• i will never have to wear that uniform ever again!

i hope i can slowly love the colour blue again...
and not get so turned off by blue clothes

• i will never get that horrible smell that school gives you..

no matter what school..there's always that 'school smell'
right? right?
its that smell from what i think is a mixture of teenage body odours, books, stationery, locker bays, portables, the actual school building, the walls, floors, tables and chairs..
i hate that smell!

• i will never have to worry about that 9 o'clock bell!

because of this, 9 AM has such a bad connotation to me..
9 AM just means 'gotta be in homegroup now! hurry up!'
run run run!

• i will never have to wait at the front of the school to be picked up again
  

time seems to go by so much slower when i'm waiting to be picked up after school...
carrying all those books have caused a chronic ache in my shoulders and the wind can be so annoying at times-blowing my scarf way out of place and blowing sand into my eyes and on cold wintry days, it just made me turn into ice! andd not to forget the million eyes that constantly stare at me...i dunno why but all these passer-bys and drivers just stareee at me as if they've never seen a person wait to be picked up before! i think its because of me wearing a scarf but i am so SICK of having to prove myself la..bloody hell ah..

apart from the above, of course there will be things that i will miss dearly..
i will miss hanging out with my friends..seeing their sleepy faces in the morning and crazy hyper-ness after recess and lunch..haha
i will definitely miss all the jokes and all the funny things that happen in school..
i'll miss laughing with and at my friends..hahaha
laughing till tears roll down my face...ohh the memories!
good times, good times..

nov 18th is probably a date that i will remember
for the rest of my life
or probably just for the next few months..haha
it was the day of my last exam
the three weeks before that, i have been studying like crazy...
my brain was close to exploding
i was cramming all this information in
it was madness
all i did was sleep, study, sleep, study
ok la, maybe that's exaggerating..but still!
apart from going to the actual exams, i was at home for the whole three weeks!
i had all these notes all over my table..
all these words that i was trying to memorise
somehow, even when i took a break..my mind always found a way to relate it to stuff i was studying..
it was insane
thank god its all over!
wooohoooo!

well..i can safely say that i am now finally and truly
FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
i have waited so long for this...and its here! its finally here!
but funny enough..i have 'post graduation symptoms'
i STILL question myself if i have any homework that i have to do...any due dates that i have forgotten about..any tests that i need to study for..
but two seconds after this, i'll realise that i have NO MORE SCHOOL..
and man! its the best feeling!
i just feel so relieved and relaxed..
its alllllllllll good

it's here! it's here!

SELAMAT HARI RAYA!!!

of the desserts i made for my
food tech folio (which i have completed, thank god! took me

i'll "try"

hey hey hey!
sorry i haven't posted for just about a million years...
my family came and i've been busy with school too...
however...i have no school tomoro

so i have some extra time to actually publish a post
on this deadly blog..
also! tomoro is the first day of puasa!
i can't believe its here already
so fast!
this year has gone by so fast!
i didn't believe my teachers when they said that this year,
being my last year in school,
will go by so fast...
i kept thinking of all the work i would have to do
and how dreadful and boring it would be...
and that it will take long straining hours of studying
with late nights and dark circles under my eyes in the morning...
actually...all these has happened..
just really fast!
wel....it's ok...
6 more weeks to go!
wait, 6 more weeks?!
oh god
i feel relief hearing that
but i also get a 2 second panic attack
ok, so back to puasa...
i can't believe its here!
i'm gonna miss music so much!
i bet you there's gonna be songs that are goin to be stuck in my head
and i won't be able to get rid of it!
i'm gonna miss breakfast
i'm gonna miss waking up to eat toast and nutella...mmm..
and hot tea! mmm...haha
i'm gonna miss sleeping through the night
but then again..
i canNOT wait to make....
KUIHHHHHHHHHHH!
yay!
yay!!
yay!!!
k i'll stop it...
you all must be sick of my baking "adventures"
so...other than that...
i can't wait for hari raya too!
yipeeeee!
haha
kk i gtg now...
i'll "try" to post more often...

by the way, here's some photos of my food tech folio i'm completing

I still put on a vest with an “S” on my chest
Oh yes, I’m a superwoman

funniest speech!

but maybe i'm a bit biased..haha
but IT IS funny!

awesome-mess

i've found a new love...

TENNIS!

hahaha

what has happened to me?

i watched the wimbledon finals last night..
and i really mean the WHOLE night!
i slept at 7 in the morning!
it kept delaying because of the damn rain
nevertheless, it was such a great match!
my heart was beating like crazy during that last game!
it was another rare moment in my life where i really really really want someone to win and my heart starts beating like crazy and i'm sitting on the edge of the couch and my hands cover my mouth in anticipation of the result...
it was like when i was watching that match that qualified the socceroos to the last world cup
(the penalties at the end, that was intense!),
or the socceroos match against italy (still hate that referee)
or pretty much everytime i watch amazing race and prison break
OR believe it or not,
when guy sebastian won australian idol..

of course i wished it was marat in the final (he will, soon, he will)
but it was, no surprise here, the number 1 and number 2
i didn't know who to go for, cause i kinda sick of these two winning everything! especially roger!
after rafa was so close to winning the first two sets, i dunno why or how but i really wanted him to win! he was so close too, but irritatingly enough, roger started to fight back and even more irritating, it started to rain...
i can't believe roger won the two sets after that...bloody hell
he just had to win something didn't he? sebok aje

however, the last game was...

oh my god

exciting...intense...scary...thrilling....exhilarating

crazy!

and this was like at SIX o'clock in the morning! dah suboh dah!

it was the 'awesome-mess' match..
i'm happy rafa won...
roger has enough, give others a chance!

*exhale*

that's it! stop it! stop it!

adios!
