pfft

i got Sims,

but not the RAM large enough for the game to run smoothly
but not the graphics card good enough for whatidontevenknowimnotacomputerstudent

but not the time.


ALL I WANT IS TO PLAY!

we don't even have time for anything nowadays.

last saturday was the finals of the 3 on 3 basketball tournament at MD. i went to watch. khairul "stole" my stall, selling drinks. oh well, i had no patience waiting all day in the hot and humid gym anyway! even though it was full of hot sweaty men...cough. haha! not interested. but he made a lot of profit! GRR. and he says i dont deserve a lexus, i deserve a Kancil. hrmpf

in between the matches, fel and i were bored and real hungry, and clinton wasn't playing yet, so we decided to go out for breakfast/lunch. at the edge big roundabout near kiulap, i was in the middle lane, so obviously if i were to enter the roundabout, i should be in the middle lane right? BUT there was this stupid car, he was on my right, so he should enter the innermost lane, INSTEAD, he cut my lane and went to the middle one, almost resulting into a crash. STUPID CAR!! as if i dont have enough accidents already! he's obviously at fault. im in deep trauma.

BV6409 if you ever read this, YOU OWE ME AN EXPLANATION!

fel calmed me down and we went on ahead to bandar. i was going to collect my prize. ooh let me digress. i won a prize calling in to Pilihan the day before. all i had to do was answer two simple questions, anyone who was listening would know! What song was playing? Kelis' Little Star. where will the Pilihan Roadshow be? Mall, 2nd floor (another story for that day in the equation).

so i won a $65 worth of necklace from GemsWorld..or was it Gemstones. or something. GEM something! mmhmm.. and i was told i could collect it on saturday morning so there i was. BUT there was no one in the office because they were all at the Roadshow already. pfft. waste of time. haha =)

takeaway Paus (in the mood for dimsum?), final match was starting. back to the school gym, and semi finals was just done. Fel drove my car around the school area haha she's a GOOOOOOOD driver, but she always felt that the road was too narrow. it's okay! it's how i felt too when i just started driving. but must have confidence, that our car is actually thinner than it seems. HAHAHA.

so the final... DUH, clinton's team (and george and chi hong and ken) won. he shot 3 points like it's nothing! shot after shot after shot, even Max the ref said "somebody, stop him!" hahaha. fel got the videos! so far she hadn't uploaded them yet... will update on it! final score was 71-46 i think. yeah. i think clint's team was ripped off of about 7 points coz the ref wasn't paying attention and gave ChiHong's last 3 points to the other team. ahahhaa. but they still won.


after that.... i called up Carmen.... i was desperate for her to join the Akira Pilihan Talentime. and she finally agreed (reluctantly!) to at least go and have a look at the auditions! AHAH! she's the best singer i know, i tell you! hehe. Fel and i went to pick Carmen and Shen up, Clint went home to shower, we met up at the mall, registered Carmen (i promised i'd join with her but i left my ic! honest!) and wait for her turn to sing Mariah Carey's Open Arms.

we watched the first two contestants sing, then Carmen said she could use a walk, so we went upstairs. i suggested we go to the arcade to "exercise" carmen's vocals first, so off we went. not a very productive action, coz the arcade's kbox song's keys were all thrown off here and there. Carmen-Mary-Kelly-Mariah-Carey cannot sing like that! considered changing songs (when you believe, still mariah carey) but sticked to open arms. i joked and said maybe she'll do when you believe for the finals ehhee.

i really don't know how Carmen felt because she was quiet and looks..unperturbed. SO CALM! amazing! i didn't know what to do, seeing her like that, so all i did was say supportive things. but then she doesn't need it, she didn't even want to sing! haha. but she did anyway and she was AWESOME. definitely will enter the semis. other contestants were awesome too, especially the dude who sang whitney houston's...uhh..dunnothenameofthesong, but he was SO good, he actually SOUNDED like whitney. normally i'd say it's gay but he was good.

so im just waiting for Carmen to receive the call. i hope she get into the semis even though she was so reluctant!

300 is just a number

once upon a March, a delegate of a certain Asian communist country in BGIC V said "i feel like a hypocrite. i'm speaking for something i don't believe in."

and then someone replied, "you're not a hypocrite. you're a politician."

it's term break for bruneian students! WHEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! now i can actually be online!

.

since early this year (count: 3 months so far), i've been sleeping around 8pm. UNBELIEVABLE RIGHT? so i get an average sleep of 10 hours a day. i am SO healthy.

except during public holidays like Chinese New Year (which chinese sleeps early during chinese new year??) and last saturday.

Last saturday, a friend of mine decided to bring a few of us to Dynasty for dimsum, because she was happy it was her birthday (normally she's happy too, but you get it) so umm after dimsum we went to watch 300! midnight show. hm. so it was about an hour till the movie starts, we went to play pool, which i havent done since.. since i left st.george (count: 15 months).

anyway, 300! 300.

300

"SPARTANS, WHAT IS YOUR PROFESSION?"
i would say "to kill".

such a gruesome movie. all they boys i know loved it. i know i almost fell asleep, since it was around 12am. but the general moral of the story: BELIEVE IN YOUR STRENGTH! and you can inspire.

kinda like the hummingbird story* Professor Wangari Maathai told us during BGIC. i suppose she can be a scriptwriter too now? we'll call it 300 hummingbirds.

and latest news: the February progress report is out, and i have AWESOME results. totally unexpected and im beginning to like my teachers better now. but i still dont like the one who told me "page 3 is between page 4 and 5".

IM NOT AN IDIOT!!!!!

the hummingbird story according to Professor Wangari Maathai (Nobel Peace Prize Awardee)
a short and summarised version
once upon a time a huge fire broke out in the forest.
all the animals ran out. they couldn't do anything.
a hummingbird was frantically asking the animals to stop the fire.
the animals couldn't do it. they told the bird to forget it.
the hummingbird refuses.
it flew to and from a river, carrying a single drop of water each trip.
of course it doesn't help.
the other animals just stood and tried to discourage the bird.
the bird didn't stop.

-end-

and then the Professor said if we were all hummingbirds, we could make a huge difference.

what the Professor forgot to include to make this story and inspiring one is that THE OTHER ANIMALS SHOULD'VE BEEN TOUCHED AND INSPIRED AND DID THE SAME AS THE HUMMINGBIRD!

omg. it's like all of us are the animals, who aren't doing anything. the story doesn't even tell us that the animals did anything in the end. i dont get it. do you?

but you know the general idea.

I LOVE THEM.

im just too much a sucker for sexy voices that can sing "how deep is your love".

one of them is gonna be the next american idol i tell you!!

Choice

It's all about making a choice.

1) I CHOOSE to wear my scraggly fro down today, because it makes me feel good about ME.

2) I CHOOSE to not let this 14-unit thing get the better of me, because the FAITH I ventured into it with was JUSTIFIED.

3) I CHOOSE to ignore the pain and not let this spoil my day, because I've taken enough Panadol to subdue a HORSE.

4) I CHOOSE to not let my weight issues become a problem, because I am SO MUCH STRONGER THAN THAT.

5) I CHOOSE to not mess this task up, because I AM AN ACHIEVER.

6) I CHOOSE to not let a stupid technicality get the better of me, because I will NOT let my circumstances control me.

7) I CHOOSE to become a doctor, so NOTHING IS GOING TO STOP ME.

8) I CHOOSE to give everything my all today, because if I can do it TODAY, I can do it TOMORROW, and the NEXT day, and the NEXT day.

9) I CHOOSE to not make excuses for myself, because excuses lead to COMPLACENCY which lead to INDULGENCE.

10) I CHOOSE to own this day because it might not come again.

11) I CHOOSE to do the right thing, because I am answerable to MYSELF.

It's ALL about making a choice.
