hi! something new everyday?

hello gorgeous people!! it is now 8.42 pm on a chilly Saturday night and i have never been more tired. the day for me started at 5 am and it was freezing. in kampar i sleep without air conditioning which sucks most of the time but today i wasnt mad about it. i genuinely could have lost my nose from frost bite. i had an alarm of course and it was so spooky. whilst setting the alarm on my device last night i realised that theres a button that says something like, 'read time aloud'. now, i have not noticed this before so i was all for it. instantly regreted it this morning. it rang like once and than a ghostly, female voice just reads, 'FIVE. AE. EMM.' may be that's why i felt chilly. from the coldness of the voice i heard first in the morning. so it wasnt my brightest idea.
i got up, had the kettle on for my morning tea, then took a warm shower. i had my clothes laid out the night before so it was a really simple time for me. after getting dressed, i had an egg and a cuppa. i downloaded a couple of chess strategy videos to watch on the way to the competition but i only watched half of it. haha! at 6.40am my ride came and i was so excited! it was my first time meeting my chess team and they were the coolest! there were 4 of us including me and they were all interesting people and chatty and we play chess hahaha!!
we reached the venue which was a polytechnic i didnt even know existed despite being from ipoh. we were a half hour early so we just hung around and tried to calm our nerves. the poly was really simple- a low cost building really. then you see their lifts and immediately think you've been transported to a luxury hotel! it was the kind of lift with the mirrors inside.
we started playing about 9am, and then it gets hazy for me. i know there were five rounds. i lost round 1 to the most obnoxious girl ever, had a draw in round 2, and only won one game later. so my overall wasnt the best. i really practiced hard so it hurts that i wasnt able to show it. my biggest regret today was definitely not taking a draw. i basically gave away a win.

lunch was definitely the highlight for me today. just sitting, eating and talking is really fun. also i was on home turf so yes eating has suddenly become something i like to do. we went to wingzone for chicken cause it was near the poly and it was also sorta empty for a Saturday.

i am now home in kampar. under the sheets, feeling like a Care Bear. i need a early night because i have a very special day tomorrow. which i sadly cant tell you about just yet.
but what i can tell you, is something utterly silly. yes i just so happened to do something silly. probably no one is surprised. i now have a super secret post in one of the clubs im in, where i am supremely awkward and have a totally different personality during meetings. i mean the members are great but we have a barrier that prevents me from being comfortable. lets hope i wont be awkward for long la. it comes at a great sacrifice for me. but really, it is such an honor to be given the position. more on that later! time for bed!

ending my hiatus after a fortnight

hello everyone!! it has been awhile. wow i miss typing for fun and not like rapidly typing away for an assignment or something. ah, assignments. maybe i'll rant on that later but now i'd like to talk about my today. my first class was a tutorial and i was early so i wanted to take out my homework so i'd be ready when my tutor starts and i almost cried when i couldnt find it. i worked hard on it to impress my tutor and i hadnt brought it. i was sitting in the front of the empty classroom (apart for 2 other people) and i was freaking out inside. i frantically messaged my sissy and she tells me not to worry and just take a seat at the back where the tutor might not see me. i moved to the back and i started my homework all over. i was really panicking when my friend with a different timetable calls me back and says, 'there's not going to be a discussion today cause it's all presentations'. i was so relieved but i also had completed the homework again so i didnt have anything to worry about in the first place. i moved back to my regular seat in the front which must have looked weird to the two people who first saw me move back initially. so i went front again and my regular group mates where already seated there. we arent close thats why i have to careful to never refer to them as friends even by accident. i once thought we were considered friends but that was before the incident of last thursday which you will understand soon.
after class today, my tutor held me back and she asked me, 'i saw you sitting at the back last Thursday. Why?' what really happened was my group had reached class before I had and to leave me out on purpose, had a random guy who was one of their friends to sit at my normal seat. so i moved to the back which i had never done before. i have forgiven them since. i mentioned that to our tutor but also added that i have already settled all issues with them. she told me it's good that i have managed to settle it and she also said, 'well, that's life'.
there's a guy in the group who really really looks like my dad. not like a current version of him, but of  him when he was younger. he has tan skin, isnt tall at all and looks somewhat nerdy. there is really a resemblance and that's sort of weird.
my schedule tomorrow is a bit of a relaxing one because i just had a 2 hour lecture cancelled. so that frees it up a little. but, my day would still end late as i have a taekwondo lesson to get to tomorrow at night. you have no idea how scary it is to bike at night guys. it's the worst but it must be done. taekwondo is fun!
i am now in the middle of week 4 of classes and loving it. i cant to tell you more about my friend, SW and my adventures in my clubs yeah!

entering week 2 of my something new

hey everyone! happy monday! my weekend was a great one! i finished all my assignments, went swimming, went to a big mall and finished watching the 2016 version of PowerPuff Girls. last thursday and friday, my dad was around to drive me around to where i needed to be and that was really fun for me too. also, he gave me driving lessons. i drove around our neighbourhood and i thought it was really good driving. we did some parking practices and i entered the box perfectly 3 out of 4 times. sadly, when i asked if he thought i was ready to drive to school, he said i could use a bit more practice. but thats okay though, cause i still feel nervous when driving and if he thinks that way means its for the best. so i get into an accident or hit a monkey or something.
i finished my assignment and that is super amazing and whats super amazing is that i brought mahjong paper to the same class today and we used it. okay, yes, we were asked to bring it but it sounds cool if i just had an instinct to bring a funky sized paper to school and we just so happen to need it and i was the only one who had it.
swimming was definitely my highlight this weekend. it was really cold so early in the morning and i was feeling so 'urgh' to get into the cold water but once i started, i loved it. my specialty is the breaststroke and now im learning to master the freestyle. still cant thread the water though. it was my coach's birthday too that day and i hope she had a great day. we sang for her while doing our warm ups. there's a guy in the super advanced class and he's young but has abs and its not the fake kind where he has to flex to let it show but it was just there. a lot of people saw it last week and i think all of us were impressed and couldnt help but stare for a while. whatdyaknow, he came to lesson this week with a shirt one, which he didnt have on last week. think he noticed the stares? maybe.
i went to a mall, the big one in ipoh and i bought quite a lot of stuff. i got a tshirt, some gloves for cleaning my turtle, and 2 pairs of pink fluffy indoor slippers. also i bought a book. its called 小王子 and i loved the english version of it. i read it so many times.
okay now time for some cartoon action here! so if you were born in the late late nineties, you may have watched the original Powerpuff girls where their emergency phone was a toy home phone with curly wire, where their voices(for all except for buttercup) were super duper high pitched. the concept is still the same, 3 powergirl sisters, saving the town. theres a professor who's like their dad and a mayor who is huge baby. the animation is really different though. its like a cross of adventure time and phineas and ferb though more of adventure time. the girls still have the same personality just they talk different using terms like: yassss, mic drop and selfie. most importantly, the emergency phones are now iphones. hahaha.
okay it's getting late and its a new day tomorrow. see you guys!

kingsman 2017 review... loved it

hello everyone!! i am back and its so good to be finally doing a post after what feels like forever. you wont believe how busy i have been. and to think that i was considering starting another blog. that would have been too much work to handle! anyways i am bursting with happiness and i have a great speech to write about that but let's get on to more recent news. this weekend was a fantastic one. just like wow! so not only did i get a super cute guitar pick, i went to the theater to watch the greatest movie of 2017: KINGSMAN: THE GODLDEN CIRCLE.

isnt it the most adorable thing?!

okay about the movie! it starts of with a fight scene between a guy in a suit and a guy with a robot arm(i thought of Deandra from MPGiS) so i was really liking it from the start. Also there's a guy named merlin?! like my absolute favourite uk- tv series ever!! the protagonists' Eggsy. he's agent for the spy organization: Kingsman. so he fights the robot arm guy who was trained agent by Kingsman but got rejected and went rogue. they were figuring out his motive for the attack and turns out, he got scouted by a psycho lady who is leading in the drug distributing world. she's rich but no one knows her so she want's fame. she poisons her drugs so that everyone who takes them get these weird blue rash action going on and that turns out to be symptom one of the 4 levels of intensity before death by her drugs. she holds back on the antidote, making a deal with the president of the united states. she's got her hostage situation going on so everyone knows her now. the president has his own agenda and think he's going to outsmart her but he fails and goes to jail while the psycho drug lady dies by her own drug in the end. oh yeah her drug ring is called The Golden Circle hence the title. 

there's plenty of comedy included. more if you count swearing as comedy too. 

elton john makes an appearance too! he was one of the hostages the psycho lady kept with her and she made him do private performances and stuff andddd he has his own fight scene. he wore heels and feathered coats like such a diva! 

my favourite scene happens at the ski resort in italy when they try to steal a vial of antidote from the lab there. they were in the gondola going down when the ropes holding the carriage snaps and they swing off, sliding downhill towards a retirement home resort place and there were elderly sitting ouside and when they stop the carriage just in time, an old guy said that it was the first decent shit he's had in weeks and i thought that it was funny coming from an old guy. 

now i have to get going to start with school so i'll see you sometime soon!

watching Girl Meets World- yes that Disney show

Good morning my readers!!! it is thursday today and we are nearing the weekend! yesterday i had a fun time! the best day of ever! there were flowers, balloons and decor all over the house. even cake!! yes there was a super special birthday yesterday!! the most amazing person ever... MUMMY!!! yeah it was so much fun and i was very happy. oh yeah, also it was the mid autumn festival yesterday. to all my people celebrating, eat lots of mooncake! 

a couple of days ago, i watched Big Hero 6 in mandarin on iflix and i discovered that Baymax in mandarin is BeiMian!!! hahaha!! it was pretty easy to understand but then again it's a kids show so they cant use very complex vocabulary after all. i really like having an iflix account so you can tell how excited i am that i have a free subscription until december of this year. so i was scrolling to iflix and i decided to watch an episode of this Disney show- Girl meets World. when i was a tween i lived for such disney sitcoms like hannah montana, wizards of waverly place, and icarly( actually thats nickelodeon). thing is, they had only the first season of GMW on iflix so if i wanted to watch season 2, i was going to have to find it on my own. i found this site where you can watch it free right here: watch it! 

thing is, having not watched such shows in a while, you realise that there are valuable life lessons that you can learn from these shows. i want to talk about the most recent 2 episodes that i watched. they are season 2 episode 17 and 19. 

here goes: 

episode 17 is called GirlMeets Rileytown. In this episode, Riley is being bullied for her unique personality. She smiles a lot and is always cute and happy. the bully called her names, made fun that she was goofy and silly and different. her gang of friends found out about what was going on and tried to help her. but she didnt want them to find out or talk to them about it. they just kept talking to her, supporting her, telling her that she is unique and that they like her just the way she is. they accepted her weirdness and it gave her the strength, courage to face the bully head on. she accepted herself and the bully left her alone in the end. what is amazing to me is that they didnt give a face to the bully. is it said it was a 'her' but that was it. we hear what she said through riley's retelling to the gang and in the end when they face off, she riley faced the camera to make it seem like the bully is beyond the screen! i think it's great they did that because a bully doesnt need to look any specific way. it can be a kind looking guy but do you have any idea how hard it is to judge character. i really cried when riley cried next to maya telling her everything that she was called. in truth, why do people hate smiley people? what is so wrong with being goofy? why cant a girl with a bright personality be accepted just the way she is? who do the bullies think they are, trying to control how an innocent person should be behaving? listen up, i know what it's like to have schoolmates tell you that they'll punch the smile off your face. i know what it's like to be called names. but i also know how to rise above it. to not be affected or change yourself to please the bullies. 

episode 19 is called Girl Meets Rah Rah. in this episode, riley tries to fulfill her life's dream of being a cheerleader even though she is inexperienced and the coach doesnt like her. her friends try to discourage her in the beginning and they tell her that she wont be good and stuff like that. it made me really mad for a while because i hate it when people look down on other people's dreams. dreams should be protected. thankfully her dad supported her and she had a strong will to not give up so she made it to all 3 days of tryouts. i like that her dad helped. soon her friend's realised they were wrong to discourage her. they decided to not stop riley from doing what she wants to do as true friends would. this is a true mark of a friend, they support, always remember that when youre choosing your friends okay, susanna! her dad who also happens to be her teacher said some really nice things like, 'if you give up, youll only be left in the dark' or something along that line.

my favourite character is Farkle. he's skinny, tall, awkward, smart and pale. there's a charm to it. here's how he looks post puberty and not in his Farkle character:

i have some business to take care of now but ill see you guys in my post tomorrow where i will most likely write about how bad greed can destroy a life. that is if i dont see another disney show i would like to write about. see you!

when you look back

hey everyone! it is a wet morning in kampar. it started raining about an hour ago. i was out on my bike and i felt a drizzle so i made a quick turn and came home. i really like cycling and stuff. so anyway, its raining really heavy and i think its been rainy for a week now? maybe that long.
last night i googled 'utar carpool app' and i found it! it is called U Drive! you guys should check it out. i think there's like a thousand downloads. yesterday, i also found a website where you can stream Fresh Off the Boat for free. iflix shows you until season 2 but there's actually 4 seasons. here's the link: Fresh Off the Boat. the show is about a Chinese immigrant family made up of a mom, a dad, a grandma and 3 kid boys. the series is actually based of a memoir written by eddie huang and that is also the name of the eldest kid character in the show. it's actually great comedy. there s no focus on the struggles of fitting in as a non white in a white country. but its like a regular family show just based on chinese people. GO CHINESE PEOPLE. the kids are actually really cute. my favourite is the middle kid and his real name is Forrest wheeler. it's a real name and it reminds me of forrest gump which is also another character i like. he's handsome and he looks really tough too. check it out:

cute, no?

this morning has been a morning of discoveries. i discovered that i am really bad at choosing 'friends' and i am really naive and that is a very dangerous trait to have. i really regret that in the past i chose a lot of wrong people to give to my support to. i supported people i thought were real friends because i couldnt see past their front and see their real intentions.
my real personality is naturally a supportive person. i get that from the folks. happy!
the thing is in the past i have supported people i thought were 'friends' but they were real fiends. i have said this before but i will say it again. PROTECT YOUR OWN DREAMS. dont let the negative 'friends' bring you down or say you cant do stuff. people are always jealous of me thats why they tried to bring me down. i wasnt careful enough to see that but now i will try to be less naive and be more sure of the people i hang out with in the future. i will keep working hard and move forward. i hope those people who are or were like the victim i once was will chose to create their own path and ignore the haters who try to tell us we cant but we can and we will. we can and we will is actually a line from my friends salutatorian speech. i havent spoken to her i liked her because i know she is genuinely nice. well guys it is getting late so i have some things to get to. see you soon.

car issues!!

hello everyone!! it is a saturday and i am so excited for time to pass because of my big adventure next weekend. today has been a busy day from the start. last night i realised that i hadnt brought my swim suit back from kampar and i needed it this weekend so i was bummed so we went to the mall today to get a new pair. its really cute and looks like a cute zebra costume haha.
last night also happened to be a flooded time on the highway where we were driving fast and water got into our engine so it started giving a loud sound and the body was shaking pretty bad. we made a uturn to a mechanic and he got rid of the water and the shaking problem. when we finally got back on the highway we realised the weird sound issue was still there so a mechanic came to our house this morning. he came and talked a bunch about the car, some parts of which i understood.
today also was a day of good meals. lunch was seafood soup at a korean restaurant and it came with scallops and abalone slices too. pretty good stuff. then we went to get some green tea ice cream which my whole family loves and that was great too.
i want to mention something me and my mom saw this morning as we drove to breakfast. there was a motorcycle parked and on the bike was a child and i dont think she was more than a year old because she was very very tiny. thing was, she was sitting on it alone. she was part on the seat, part perched in a little basket thing in the front near the handle bars. i dont know where he parents were and why they would leave her alone, looking scared and doing nothing at all. yes that made me mad and sad a bit because she could have been kidnapped or the bike could fall if she didnt know better and jumped.
looking at these scenarios you also feel more grateful about your life. i and thankful for my parents who did a splendid job!
this blog post is going to be short because im tired. haha more news tomorrow okay! see you
