Correction pen issue

Why can't we use these during exams?

Smoke and Sneezes

Wow! It feels like such a long time since I let my fingers touch the computer keyboard to blog. Yes, it's the time factor-too little time on my hands actually.

It's been so long already and the haze is still this bad. On some days, it looks a little better but if it doesn't rain for some time, this is the picture you see out your window. So much for sunshine on your face when you get out of bed. Sigh. It's been going on for some time already. I think this alone is a good reason for someone to have his/her face mask on.



Not to mention the Influenza A (H1N1) issue, on Wednesday morning, my dad was pleased that there was very light traffic when entering the school. I thought I was late. Then he realised the strange atmosphere as if he was the only one going into the school compound. I went up to class only to find many of my classmates absent. Why? In fear of the H1N1 virus. Because of that, we only did lots of revision instead of getting lessons on as usual.

Let's hope everything goes back to normal next week.

Woman in red

It seems like I getting familiar to pinks. Pinks make girls look young but I like deep and dark reds. Hmm...maybe I'll finally come to terms with the standard of a typical young girl by liking pink. Oh, what am I saying?? I'm should be happy being myself and not compare. Haiz... It's not like I have anything against people who like pink. I'm just saying that I'm becoming more feminine than I used to be.




Other than the black and white neutral choices, reds normally give women the elegant look and suits mostly any skin colour. It looks stunning on girls with fair skin and it really brings out the womanly figure and adds contrast and colour on the darker-kinned.

You know what's the next best thing about reds? No matter what age or size you are, it suits.

I kinda observe that older women wear lesser bright colours especially when it comes to shocking barbie doll pink. They normally go for those dark reds and darker shades. Wonder why.

Her say: At first when my friends brought it for the class to watch it, I thought it was a strange movie until I saw the plot. I love the stories of the musicians of that era. What they went through which is expressed in their music pieces. Wonderful production team. Excellent plot. It is a MUST-WATCH. It made me reflect back on what history was really like. Probably the uncensored truth. Definitely not for those who can't take war movies.

God-given e-mancipation

No, not at clubs or bars. Not in any superstar concert. I don't know why. Everytime I close my eyes and listen to music, my mind starts choreographing the show. However, when I listen to christian music, it makes me act and choreograph at the same time. That's the only time I can actually let go and just burst out doing what I want for the Lord. It's different. Way different in a way. Freakish you might think. But I think it's the best blessing.

Wierd looks

Girls, have you ever walked down the street and have some people riding on motorbikes or perhaps cars whistle at you? I have. It really ticks me off. They whistle or they'll call "Ah moi" or some of them give you those stares and I feel vulnerable some times. I get that a lot. They're annoying.

Just today, I went to this restaurant I usually go to every Saturday for lunch. There were 2 men sitting at the table across mine. They were pretty old. You know those typical old men who go to kopitiams a lot. Yeah, like that. One of them seem to be staring at me and with his eyes wide open. I pretended not to notice. He called me and then he told me " You Melayu tak boleh makan sini. Sini makan babi punya." That raised my eyebrow. Then he continued "You bukan Melayu ka?" I shook my head. Then he named all sorts of different countries and races, pronouncing them inaccurately of course, to try to guess what race or where I come from.

"Australia"
(shook head)
"Indonesia"
(shakes harder)
"Sabah"
(Shakes lightly)
"Sarawak"
(Shakes and giggles)
"Malaysia"

"Melayu"

"Cina"

His eyes went bigger as if he can't believe that someone who looks Malay would be sitting in a chinese restaurant. No, I am Chinese. A chinese brunette. I laughed and told my mum about it. She laughed too. We're chinese la.

Pink Panther 2

Boy am I slow! I just catched Pink Panther 2 last night watching it on dvd with my sister. The movie was great. I can't wait if there ever is a Pink Panther 3. However, if this movie goes on to maybe Pink Panther 4 or so on, I'm afraid that it might bore some of us as the story revolves mainly around the Pink Panther diamond and about it being lost and found again by Inspector Clousseau. Unless it can change the subject and yet maintain the significance of the movie title "Pink Panther"; but hey, it's possible....
