Ice skating

Ice skating.

The title says it all.
I just have this sudden urge to go ice skating...
oh what about tomorrow then!

Hold on a minute, I can't!
Why?
Coz'
1. my trials is next week
2. I haven't finish studying
3. Its freaking expensive to skate during the school holidays
4. school holidays = crowds ( hate squeezing with em')

Bah!!
I guess i'll just go after my trials.
I WILL GO after my trials!

I just caught a glimps of a figure skating competition video clip on tv and i had flash back on how good it used to feel when i was skating and the wind was blowing on my face, skating gracefully, feeling confident and fresh! Thats when i had this 'craving'/urge to want to skate.

I can't exactly remember when was the 1st time i ice skate but i do remember how i know how to ice skate. It all started from roller blading. I did not learnt how to do so alone. It was actually my dad who taught me to roller blade on a badminton court! And from there, he brought me to the ice skating ring and slowly hone my skating skills. The best part is that my dad did not know how to skate at all! neither on roller blades nor ice skates. Whenever he was teaching me, he was wearing slippers and i was with the skates. Even in the skating ring, he was outside the ring instructing me, guiding me. How cool is that!

The secret to him being able to teach me how to skate even though he did not know how to is his observing skills. Never underestimate the power of the observing skills and I admire my dad for that! =D

I am very proud that i am able to ice skate and even more proud when i told them that my dad was the one who taught me to skate even thought he himself did not know how to. Of course my ice skating skills cannot be compared to those figure skaters who took lessons from professionals. I cannot do stunts like a hop or a spin but at least i know my basics very well.

I find figure skating a very graceful sport. Its just so beautiful watching professional skaters glide on the ice, moving so 'swiftly'. Even though i cannot do stunts but i enjoy skating and feeling the wind on my face and fantasising being able to move like how figure skaters are able to. Its just a whole new and different experience for me.





P.S : Dear, i want to go ice skating *puppy eyes*

home!! =D

Today is not exactly Sunday but i'm finally home. and i'm on my comfy bed now blogging.

Sunday~

Woke up kinda late today about 12 noon ( i slept quite late the day b4 so yeah....) After washing up, i took my time packing all my books and notes and tutorials. By the time i finish packing, it was already 3pm and somehow i just felt kinda slow in doing things/ tired so after packing i took my nap. I'm suppose to be studying but i was just too excited to go home. I lazed around and waited for my parents to pick me up for dinner.

I didn't had a good lunch, i had a box of chocolate milk and biscuits for lunch.. so i was kinda looking forward for a good dinner. Anyway, about 6.20pm, I went down to the canteen to meet up with kean lee and ate twisties (chezzy flavour) *Yumm!* =D

Spent some time just accompanying one another before we both leave for home. It was a beautiful evening i must say. The sky was hue blue with a tinge of orange sunset. Beautiful and mesmerising. We both do enjoy taking evening strolls together, feeling the wind in our face and the fresh air.

After we parted, i continue to wait for my parents while trying to read some biology. I was expecting them to arrive about 8pm but they came half an hour later. So, the plan was to eat a simple meal and go home. Dad drove us to a backlane restaurant where they were famous for their steam fish. If i'm not mistaken its in Raja Laut, Restaurant Ong Lai ( Goh Kee). We reached there about 9pm and it was full house as we still had to wait for a table. And by the time our food came, it was already 10pm! Anyway, the bill came up to rm155, 4 person ate for rm155! crazy wei..well, we ordered steam fish, prawns ( as big as my hand! actually my hands not that big so don't hav to be so shock..xD), vegetable, fried oysters and noodles. Each person had 2 prawns and I had 3 big prawns mainly coz' mom only ate 1. Seafood's usually the dishes that is costly. Anyway Its been quite some time since i had such yummy meal so i just wallopp whatever there is..heh..

So thats my day for Sunday. The best part for today was the food! hehe..well of course i did enjoy my little evening stroll and home sweet home =D

fluttery fluuu...hehe

Ahh ~ another day has come and gone. Its 4am, sunday morning! ( told ya my body clock is kinda out)..heh..

Today was another day of studying, eating and more studying with kean lee in hostel. Studying together, the sight of seeing our partner working hard for the little future and dream that we both hope for really encourages me to wanting to do the same to put in our best and not give up.

As for tomorrow, I will be going home for the week break before coming back to hostel again on the 21st of march to sit for my trials.

------------------------------------------------------

I was once an Interact Club BOD and did organise International Understanding Day back then and I know how stressful and crazy it can get organising events. Anyway, I am quite proud of this year Interact Club BOD as they somewhat did a good job in marketing, advertising and running the I.U Day. Why do i say so? Coz' I did not attend the event at all but just by reading their blog, I can so feel their excitement, energy, enthusiasism and dedication in the making of the event. Therefore, I proudly introduce http://www.interactsmkss17.blogspot.com.
I find it interesting, knowing what they did just to raise funds etc. I had my times and they had theirs. Those were the days.

Anyways, I'm signing off now. I'm so looking forward to home and good home cooked food! I've been eating like biscuits and more biscuits and junks for my meals * yucks*
Nothing makes you miss home then staying away from home.

HOME SWEET HOME here i come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D

Sometimes we're just so afraid what others might think of when they know that we're in a relationship with someone. When the phrase 'we're in love' is being used, people will often squint their eyes and ask'' what do you mean by in love?' 'are you really in love or isit just a moment of feeling happy and good being around with this somebody?' It is normal that when statement is being said, people will have questions flooding their head, wondering what makes you say so, why are you so sure that you're in love instead of just an infatuation? etc. Considering that people nowadays tend to abuse the word 'love'.

Adults especially our parents will usually be sceptical and thinks that young adults are incapable of juggling relationships and studies at the same time thus concluding to us that it is just not the right time to get into a relationship. So when is the right time to get into a relationship? After SPM? When we're in university? or after we've gotten a stable job and able to support ourselves then only we should start looking for our life partners?

I am not saying that all young adults are able to handle both relationship and studies at the same time but if we do not get into a relationship, experience the little cuts and bruises of loving someone, how are we to grow emotionally, mentally or grow in maturity? Telling us that it is not the right time isn't gonna help either. It will just leave us feeling unfair and even after we do get into a relationship, it is not easy to open up to our parents as deep inside, we do still want our parents support and advices to these matters of the heart.

Being in a relationship can either build you or break you at a certain point of time. When both are lovey-dovey, happily in each others arms, one will be glad that they have each other and often seem to think that 'they're made for each other'. However when the road gets bumpy, things doesn't seem to go well and characters starts to show, those who cannot endure and cannot take it will choose the easy way out which is the breakup. If life were that easy, which is to get into a relationship just because we get along well and have alot in common and breakup just as easily because of an argument or problem that arises and can't be solved , then where would commitment stand in and where would love fit in?

Being in a relationship,getting a life partner is not just having all the good times, its not just loving one another by holding hands, embracing but It is the beauty and the bumpy roads that strengthens the relationship. Getting through hard times and overcoming problems together, looking out for one another, enjoying everything that is done together, those are the memories that cannot be bought and erase just as it is.

People always say that love makes one blind, love makes you go 'cloud nine'.
Love makes the world seems like a better place.

Do share your thoughts if you have any. =D

Rambles from hostel canteen =D

The night doesn't seem that peaceful after all when your staying over the weekends in hostel.

I'm currently in the Hostel canteen area where i was suppose to be stuyding but i thought of utilising the facilities that is provided ( the wireless internet connection)...heh..

anyways, i'm not alone here, there are quite a number of people still up and awake, mostly using laptops and a small amount doing course work. There are some who come out from their rooms at weird hours (3am) just to go online.

Yes, I'm still awake at this hour of time ( 3.30am). Trials is just around the corner which is 23rd of march till end of the month. There is just so much to cover, so many things that need to be done. I've been staying up for the past 3 days just to study and this is my plan till next week. My body clock has somewhat been turn upside down but its ok coz' I'm burning as much midnight oil as possible now as I don't want to stay up during the exam period.

Hopefully i'm able to last till end of this month!

This is my table with books and my laptop sprawled all over. Most of it is not my books tho..heh

Nostalgy

My sister came into my room holding a very familiar magazine... she asked whether I'd want to read the latest school year book(2009). I wasn't too trilled or excited about looking through it but I just told her "ok, just leave it on my bed." and she was gone leaving magazine behind.

I know my pictures will not be in the magazine.. I know I have no memories being in SMK SS17 which is why i was disinterested in flipping through the pages of magazine which I know i have no part in it in year 2009. However, I was curious to see who was the head prefect(2009) and who was the editor(2009) for the magazine and partly I kinda wanted to ''take a break'' from doing my revision...heh..

It started with flipping through the pages, looking at the pictures only....
every passing pictures are people whom deem strangers to me or even if I did seen them before, they weren't people who I had memories with..

What caught my attention was when I was flipping through the class album section... I remembered that there were quite a number of friends who i knew who was studying form6 in my former school, so I took out my magnifying glass( not literally) and tried spotting people that I once knew.

Surprise Surprise (or maybe not so) I found those people whom some I knew back in primary school. Some did change, many still look the same. Wonder how they are doing now... Continue on my flipping of pages, I spotted my little sister in the form1 section. I must say, she looks adorable there..haha..

When I reached the senior page section, I felt so nostalgic, remembering back during my time (gosh I feel so old now) we'll bring our camera's to camwhore and our super tall class monitor will bring his Nikon DSL to shot and capture all the candid moments and memories..as I feel myself being absorbed back into my secondary school year once again, I looked through the magazine from the front page again and this time, really capturing what I am looking through..

I realised that this current year book is the 13th year book that was published. There and then i remembered back in form4, I was one of the producing committee for this year book. What a year it was..rushing deadlines(as usual) and post-poning deadlines(very common). As i flip the pages( this time i did it slowly), I reach the high achiever for spm where they did their interviewing of some of the top scorers (which I was not in it...>.<). The pictures that was posted looked very familiar indeed..they were my former classmates! Remembering back the laughter we shared, the silly things we( more of they) did in class..

those times where our class was usually picked to go for outings;

the times when I was the assistant secretary for Interact Club..organising the I.U Day outside of school;

going out for taekwondo tournaments which gave me a different experience of taekwondo,staying back in school for intensive training (plus get to skip class);

went for chess tournaments too and getting to meet really pro players..plus getting free ride home from my chess club teacher advisor after tournaments =D

being a sales person selling stuff over the counter as a koperasi member, selling my '0h-so-yummy' buchetta's during Hari Koperasi..I remembered having to bring my mini toaster all the way from home and rushing to carefour to buy more ingredients coz' everybody loves it till they wanted more;

Disected a frog!!!

and many more times when we stayed back for ko-ku, we would walk together to ss15 to eat lunch.. add in some cc(cyber cafe) and a game of pool..what an adventure it was!

Oh! Did I mention that we get allowence too when we go out for tournaments..hehe..fun!..xD

and And! the one day trip where 5 to 6 tourist buses full with japanese students came to our school when I was in form 4 and form5! Each selected students get a japanese partner for that day and entertain them by interacting with them. Those were really fun time plus I got to know 2 cute japanese guy for that 2 years of the occasion =D

Ahhhh~ those were the days...

...and I always thought that i did not have any interesting moments in secondary school...

...I guess it was all covered by the memories of me always being alone in school..

I'm not a 'sad case' person after all..hehe

and I really do love and appreciate the last 2 years of my secondary school life.

P.S: To all my former classmates, I really hope that we could catch up one day soon. Really miss you all!

17-01-2010

Today passed as like any other ordinary day. People go grocery shopping as usual, eat their 3 meals a day as usual, nothing out of the blue but yet to me, today the 17th of January is a very special day indeed. Nostalgic day for me as i remember back my other years of this day....

Year 2010 will be a new start for me for so many different things in so many ways....

It beautiful to have found that someone to share my thoughts with yet...
It hurts to realise certain things..

With the 3 people whom I spend most/all of my years with have overlooked this beautiful day, my heart aches but its ok.

I promise myself that i will not cry today but i know i will break that promise....

Thank you for those who remembered this day....

I treasure every single moment with you in my heart
