Go Around Twice if You're Happy

Hey, watch this. You won't understand the first part, with all the construction and stuff, but don't stop the video there.

Just keep watching, and you will find that it's quite nice. Enjoy.

LEGO-Back when you were young

I'm too lazy to say anything. Just look at my extensive LEGO collection. Even I didn't realize there was so much.


Looks like a rubbish dump, but just enlarge and you'll see.

Time for Speed to Meet it's Master

I went to Dylan's place again, and it was damnnnn fun.

As usual, we skated. I won't tell about the skating, the boringity of the story can kill.

But there are some fun parts. Like the clubhouse. And the story of speed, bravery, wind, and heroism. And last, but not least, the story of my life. Nope. Not the story of my life, but the story of the Big Apple Leaf.

Oh yeah, about the story of my life, I've just added a song called the "Story of My Life" to this blog, so give it a listen. It's not the best song, but it fits my blog. Haha.

Oh well. To the stories. Ok. First, the clubhouse story.

After our legs were sore, throats dry, body, about to faint, we went off to the clubhouse for rest and relaxation. And lunch.

So we went into the changing rooms to wash our hands, and Wow.

The changing room was like heaven. Air-conditioned, bigger than Jeremy's house ( according to him ) and totally well maitained. I mean, we could have licked the floor and not minded. ( But we didn't, obviously. )

We went over to the basins, and Dylan washes his face in the cool water of the basin. Suddenly,

" Oh damn, my hands are THAT dirty. "

I assumed that it was my hands that made the water dirty. Jeremy and Dylan looked over to my basin, and upon seeing the brownish-yellow water, let out high pitched screams that a blond TV girl would be proud of. ( Exaggerations )

Then, it turns out that it was the water, and not my hand that made it dirty. And it was the same for all the other taps. And Dylan washed his face in it. HA!

So we left the room in disappointment, and ordered ourselves sandwiches for lunch.

Then Jeremy went:

" Hey, isn't that guy from our school? "

Heads turn.

"Oh yea! It's Wee Lik! Hey, Wee Lik! Wee Lik! Weeeee Liiiikkk..."

He walks away, without hearing.

" Hey, isn't THAT guy from our school, too? "

Heads turn.

"Oh yea! It's Kwang Yang! But, nevermind. I don't think he knows me."

"Who?" "Who?"

"Kelly's brother. They live here."

After awhile, Wee Lik walks over. He's heading to the bathroom. He sees us and walks over, says hi, eats my fries. Then walks off.

Moments later, he comes back with Kwang Yang. They take an interest in inspecting our skateboards.

" Hey, show us some skills, man! "

* Cough. Time for Editor's note: I have never, in my life, perfectly executed a kickflip before, except for on grass. ( a kickflip is a trick that involves the skateboarder jumping with his board, making it spin a full rotation, and landing back on the board. )

So, I go to show some demo stuff to Kwang Yang, and then:

"Hey, can you do like, erm, a flip or something? "

I paused. Should I try it, and chance screwing up my rep? Or just play safe and make excuses.

I took the more berlagaky option. And I DID IT! The first time I ever did a kickflip, and it was the best show-off I have ever shown-off. Haha. Plain luck.

So after they left, discussing how good I was ( Not Really, Just Joking ), we ran around the clubhouse a bit more, and ran into Kelly on the way out. That's the clubhouse story.

Time for the story of Brilliance, Bravery, Speed, Wind, Knighthood, and Heroism. ( I enjoy exaggerating )

Life was hard. Thirsty. Tiring. And a hurt ankle. Then Jeremy nearly died of dehydration ( So he says ). We were in the middle of a playground, far, far away from the house ( Oh so very far ). Unfortunately, we all didn't bring water.

" I need water. "

" Don't we all. But as the philosopher Jagger once said, you can't always have everything you want. "

" No, seriously, I can't stand it. "

Really. He looked like death coming early. So there was much discussion on whether we should leave early so Jeremy wouldn't die.

We all were rather selfish about it, seeing as the place was perfect fun, sitting on top of a windy hill, home was miles away, and it was tiring just to think about it.

" Oh dear god. Hahaha. Ok, I'll get it for you. "

" Serious? You don't have to go. I can go m....."

Not wanting to change my mind, and rather impatient with his manners, I was already speeding down the hill.

On that day I learned something. There is no such thing as too much speed. Speed is a like a backstabbing friend. Hurts you mercilessly when you stumble, and it breaks your bones. But when you are moving and keeping control, it is the best thing which keeps you moving.

I had never felt so good. The idea of a mission, the super speed of never pressing on the brakes when coming down the hill, and being the first person to drink the water when I reached home.

So I went back to the two damsels in distress ( hahaha, no offence ) feeling heroic.

Now, the story of the Big Apple Leaf. Here's a picture to explain. And by the way, there isn't a story. I just found it. That's that.

Look at it. It's shaped like an apple, and it's bigger than my head. Put it together and you get......

Holidays-Boringly Relaxing

Eahgh. I'm sick and tired of these holidays. I spend 40 percent of my awake time watching House M.D online. And it's about the only interesting thing that goes on around here. Sadly.

On a brighter note, I will have my guitar by next weekend. AND, it's drawing closer and closer to X-mas! Woot!

Boooooringg......

Goobye Steph- The Megamall trip

Actually, so far the holidays haven't been boring as I expected. We went out today to Midvalley Megamall, a group of ten: Me, Jeremy, Dylan, Mun Keat, Chen Yang, Rachel, Steph, Sze May, Sam, and Sxu Gene. Is that 10? OK, I'm not missing anyone.

So we went to Dome to meet up with them ( Me and Dylan ), and took some pictures, prank called Ashwin, and told Chen Yang that the thing was cancelled. But still, he came.

We went on to find Stephanie, who was buying our tickets. We found her in Mcdonalds with her family.

" Here's the plan. We pretend we don't know her, and just walk past without looking at her "

So we go and walk past her table, clearing our throats loudly as we go.

Then SOMEBODY, I'm not sure who ( My accusations point to Sze May or Sxu Gene ), goes right up and talks to her. So the plan is blown. Hmph.

Then we go in to watch the movie. Stardust. It was quite good, except for the fact that SOMEBODY ( me ) desperately needed to go to the bathroom.

So after the movie Chen Yang already left. Sad. He missed so much fun.

We went to...... Where other, than PETS WONDERLAND!!!!!!

We had lunch there.... Or we had planned to, until we were discourteously summoned from our fun before we had finished our share of dog and fish.

We had lunch at.................. SUSHI KING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

" Rachel, you belanja us right?!? "

" !? No.... "

" Too bad, you pay. "

" No!!!! "

" Okay, you pay. "

Unfortunately, Rachel didn't belanja us. All I can say is that Mun Keat ended up with alot of money. Lol. Nevermind if you don't get it. I don't expect you to. Unless you went.

Then, we went......... BOWLING!!!!!!!!!

We separated the boys into one lane and the girls in the other. One game only.

Guess who got highest score in bowling??

None other than Yours Truly........ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sam and Sze May had to leave before bowling, and Steph went right after bowling.

ELIMINATED!!

So, there are only 6 more contestants in the game. Me, Jeremy, Dylan, Mun Keat, Sxu Gene, Rachel.

Who will be the next to leave? Find out more...... Now!

So we head in the direction of Coffee Bean, where we plan to get a drink.

On the way we get mesmerised by many different shops and items.

" Hello?......Oh.....Ok.....Bye. Guys I have to go now. Bye. "

Who is the unlucky one.....? It is........... SXU GENE!!!!!

Okay, I should stop talking like that.

So we continue on to Coffee Bean, where the blessed drinks are waiting, waiting, just out of our grasp.

We reach and all of us order Ice Blended Mochas, except Rachel, who ordered some white creamy thing, No idea what, since she seemed to ignore me when I asked her.

After the Drinks have been drunk, and all of us are full on ice and coffee, we go on to Room. The shop. Y'know.

" Hey, I stopped gambling already lah. "

That was Mun Keat outside the shop. Then when we reached the shop:

" Oh My God! This is so cool!! ( pointing at the slot machines, giant poker cards, roulette machines, shot cups and chips. ) Eih! Should I buy this to use for CNY? ( Holds up the chips )"

Hahaha. He doesn't buy the chips, and after finding out that the only things we can afford would be in a shop named " The Cheaper Room ".

Now Mun Keat has to go home, so we go and send him off.

On the way there, we go into Puzzle World, where they let you try out the Rubik's cube.

I pick it up and complete it in two minutes or less, only to find the whole shop full of people staring at me. Coool....

Suddenly, my friends start laughing and point to a TV screen behind me.

Owh. On the screen there's this little girl of age 5 or 6, completing the cube in 58 seconds. Ouch. Ouch. Shown up by a little girl on TV.

So I walk out of the shop heartbroken.... Lol. So we continue on our journey to the South.

He has to go back to the South Court, but we end up at the North. Ah well.

So we turn back. Head all the way back to the South end.

We reach. We see him off. We get scolded by the security guard for playing with the turning door.

As you can see, I'm getting a bit short with the details. That's because I'm tired of typing so much. So I'll just cut off the details.

Jeremy's car broke down. ( sad, that I have no spirit, cos' this could be made into a fun story )

Rachel has no transport, meant to go home with jeremy.

But his car broke down. Dunno what happens after that.....

Then me and Dylan go home at traffic hour. Jammmm........

The Three Seasons -Pepper, Salt, and Sugar

Birthday, Christmas, and New Year.

To me, the three most important events of the year.

All coming up soon. Wohooo!

I think I'll throw a birthday party but I have no idea who to invite. Don't worry if you're not invited. It doesn't mean I don't like you, it simply means I don't want to invite you. There's a difference.

The Christmas tree is coming up nicely. Well, at the moment it's just outside getting a tan. Sunbathing. Ah, Christmas.....

So, how's life?

Meh.

Damnit man, can't you come up with a better answer?

Meh.

WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN??

Meh.

Growwwl. That's it. I'm not talking to you anymore!

Meh.

Meh!? I just gave up talking to you! How does that make you feel?

Meh.

Meh- The Multi-purpose word. No consideration needed. If you don't want to talk to them, just say "Meh" from time to time.

It Has Been a Great Sunday.

So, I'm sitting at home and suddenly Jeremy appears at the front gate. ( Not literally of course, as house has no gates. :P )

Then, Jeremy asks me to message Dylan to ask him to come now, since he was earlier than the arranged time.

30 seconds later,

" Dylan's here already! "

Wow, he travels at the speed of sound.

So, we grab our boards and head to the back. ( The purpose of this trip is for me to teach them to skate. )

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. Today is Jer's birthday. Haha, but me and Dylan denied the fact and pretended we didn't know the whole day. It went like:

" Hey, guys. Guess whose birthday it is today? "

Dylan shoots me a warning look, Jeremy looks up in anticipation.

" It's Margaret Atwood and Johnny Christ's birthdays! Let's sing them a birthday song! "

*Jeremy cries loudly.

Okay, maybe that was exaggerated. He didn't cry. But the rest was true. Even the fact that it's Margaret Atwood and Johnny Christ's birthdays.

So, after that we go on and on cracking birthday jokes......

And we go to the Sierramas West clubhouse.

Skate.

Football.

Basketball.

Skate some more.

Then, the fun begins. We go into the baby playroom, with the ball pit and soft walls and cooling Air-Conditioners. Ahhhhhh....... Pure bliss......

So begins the war of flying balls. Hey, don't let your mind wander. Stick to the idea of plastic colourful balls. You know.

And after an hour or so of laughing at how stray balls all find their way to Jeremy's face, my stomach began to cramp of all the laughing. And we had to stop laughing or suffer incredibly.

Quite impossible, as you would know if you are familiar with this kinds of situation.

"If we laugh this much everyday we're going to end up with 6-packs!"

" And then when people ask us how we got them we just laugh at them! "

And then we go on laughing at every little thing that happens or someone says.

Then, haha! The real thing. Prank calls.

Under the name of Kate. And with funny voices, asking people out on dates.

"Helloooooo? Are you free on Saturday night?? Let's go out somewhere nice....."

But I can't say anything more about the prank calls, as it may cause some feelings of resent if I post their personal humiliations on the Internet.

Anyway, I'm feeling sleepy, so I won't be posting anymore today. Gnight.




Second or Third Cousin's Wedding. Not Sure.

Saturday was my second or third cousin's wedding. Not Sure which one, with so many cousins running around the place.

It was in Kuala Pilah, the last option on the list of places to have my wedding. The place is some kind of kampung, not your ideal wedding place.

First off , the road there is like some VERY twisty mountain road ( It was so twisty and narrow, if you make one small mistake with the steering wheel, it's goodbye forever. Down, down, tumbling down the mountain rolling. ) with monkeys swinging from side to side on telephone wires.

Secondly, when you reach there, it doesnt really improve. Here's an example:

"Hey, look at those stray dogs! So many of 'em!"

"Those are sheep."

"But they're so dirty and un-fluffy!"

Heading down the road ( There was only one road ), we continued to meet some of the dirtiest, ugliest sheep and goat, in all shapes and sizes. And the most welcoming sight there ( To me ) was probrably the small skatepark we drove past.

The last,but not least. Or maybe it IS least. The wedding was held in some primary school. Sad, but true. In the school hall, there was like tables and chairs set across the whole hall, and I'm surprised to find I have so many relatives from this small town, and all dressed in their home clothes, while me and my closer family were dressed formally, rather out of place.

And guess what? The waiters looked like they were students that were held back after school for detention or something, and ended up having to serve us. There was one fat boy who seemed to be the waiter of our table.

" Hey, go away, fat boy! "

He turned and stared at us.

" He heard us! Quick! Turn away! "

* Started whistling.

When we looked back, he was gone. Seems like he's heeding our commands. Oh well......

The rest of the night ended in karaoke performances of Tong Hua, Peng You and other songs. Surprisingly, the singing wasn't so bad. Quite entertaining.

Have a Great Holiday, People

School is finally over......

Just before the bell rang, we were having a countdown. ( Obviously ) And halfway through, the 1Ps walked past. Kind of spoiling the mood, since they've already left the class, and we're still in there counting.But anyways, Intan didn't let us leave until the bell rang.

Downstairs, outside the phone collection place, Li Yang took out his 7-up and asked us all to drink from it. Then he took the bottle and shook it. Shake shake shake
shake shake shake shake shake shake shake shake shake shake shake shake shake shake shake shake shake shake shake shake......
BOOM!!!
And that's how school ended. As in really ended. The school exploded. Really.

Obviously not. The liquid just sprayed everywhere until it caught the attention of Mr. Pandian or someone. I don't really know the teachers in the school that well. Well, suffice to say " That fat Indian teacher who isn't Gobi ".
" Hey, boy, stop that. "

A little bit disappointing, but that's all that happened.

Well, that's it. So have a great holiday, people.

School has rather lost it's spark of interest.

The best times I have in school now is playing cards, sadly.

And I spend alot of time playing cards.

But there's just ONE more day left of school for me, since I'm skipping Thursday.

Got nothing to say. Nothing at all. Ermm...... Ah well, nothing to say then nothign can be done.

Holidays Are Coming ( The Long Ones )

Next week shall be the last week of school before the year-end holidays.


After next week, we are unofficially form twos. ( Us form ones, I mean. )

They say that form 2 is the best year of school, but I don't like the thought of being form 2, for some unknown reason.

The holidays will be so boring. Except for Hong Kong. And my birthday. And Christmas. And CNY.

But the majority of it will be boring. I expect it to be.

This is my to do list for the holidays:

1. Go to
Hong Kong.

2. Go to Singapore and skate there.

3. Buy an electric guitar and learn how to use it.

4. Celebrate my
birthday.

5. Celebrate
Christmas.

6. Visit a friend or two.

7. Learn to draw properly. ( My brother and sister can draw really well. Why can't I? )

You see, I don't have enough things to do to fill up 2 months of empty space. Ah well, I daresay the list will grow longer within time.

As You Can See...

As You Can See... I have changed the template of my blog. If you prefer it, then stay quiet, if you don't, then let me know.

Apart from that, today is Deepavali and I will take this opportunity to wish you all:

" Happy Deepavali "

Although I think most of you people who visit my blog DON'T celebrate it, I would still like you to have a:

" Happy Day "

Smoooke.......on the Water.... A Fire in the Sky!

Life just keeps getting better, eh?

For my birthday...... ( I Think )......( I Hope )...... I am getting an ELECTRIC GUITAR!

Sure, I won't get any other presents unless they insist on buying, but this guitar accounts for all the presents put together.

The mother of all presents... Can't......Wait.........

*Drools*

But the biggest problem ( obviously ) is the money.

It costs almost a thousand ringgit and that's for the cheapest set of guitar, amp, and other stuff.

But, it's all worth it......

Trick Or Treat?

It has been a Wonderful week. I pronounce the word "wonderful" with a capital "W".

So, it was Halloween on Wednesday. My sister went for this form 3 party, hosted by Cheng Yee. About 50 people or so she claims, went to this party.

But, I will not be talking about that. I, and my brother went trick or treating, and there were more than 50 people, guaranteed, that went with us. It was an organized excursion, of course.

I, was dressed up as some kind of thing that was originally intended to be Jedi, but changed into something else.

My brother: A dead musician.

We were split up into 3 groups: Little Scaries ( young kids ), Zombies (My group), and one more that I appear to have forgotten.

It was rather interesting, so many little vampires, zombies, and undead creatures running around at half my height.

Me and my brother first met up with Lin Rui, who had brought along friends. Two of them.

Then, met Stefan and gang. Stefan and gang weren't dressed up as anything, but still followed us on our tour.

We soon strayed from the rest of the trick or treaters, and went our own way. ( Me, brother, Stefan, and gang. Sorry I'm not mentioning gang's names. Too lazy. )

After awhile, we sat down on this kind of grass island, where the grass was like sinking sand. Comfortable, though.

We sat there for quite awhile, while talking and listening to the DEAD MUSICIAN play his saxophone.

Then we just lepaked around until me and my brother realised that we had school on Thursday.

Here are the pictures of me, my bro, and my sis. On Wednesday night.



And the haul that I had gathered.



So that's about it.
