selamat tinggal ku ucapkan kepada Bahasa Melayu
tidak akan ku menulis sebarang karangan lagi
walau sekalipun
sepanjang umurku
(translation: good riddance to the malay language.
i wash my hands off you and
i'll never write another malay essay in my life HAH)
i finally took the lastest malay exam in my entire life (i hope) and i must admit i thought it was quite. a breeze. HAH ego boost! i finished the paper abt half an hour early. so i had alot of time to do people watching. and well, since the invigilators may suspect me of cheating if i stared at my peers, i stared at them instead. and a specific lady caught my attention..
she had a very strange haircut. it was cut straight all round thus making it appear very unnatural. and she had awfully long bangs. her glasses were the old fashoined sort, big lenses and gold frames. she had an uncanny resemblance to moaning myrtle frm harry potter. i suspected she still is a miss at her probable mid-thirties.
i spent a good half hour scrutinising her ridiculous outfit. she was clad in a blouse and a long skirt. sounds simple enough. but let me go into detail. her white short sleeved blouse was rather loose and looked like something out of the store for grannies. which is way past her age.
her skirt, on the other hand, was not exactly full length, neither was it 3/4. it was pulled high up and tightly wrapped around her waist by a visible length of elastic band. her socks, were pulled up way past her ankles but not high enough to be hidden beneath her maroon skirt. thus, revealing an inch of skin on each leg.
sadly, her shoes were in no state to compensate for the rest of her outift. i was suddenly reminded of the reality tv show extreme makeover.
after a while, she began to roam around the hall to watch us. since i was so free i kept my eyes on her. as she walked past me, i nearly gasped in horror at her skirt. upon closer inspection, i discovered the repulsive embroidery all over the lacy material.
just by looking at her i could imagine her voice in my head. it was a soft whimpering sort of voice. the kind of teacher the brutal school boys would dare to throw tables at.
i wondered if she has a boyfriend..

its strange how i persevered with those cookies and managed to eventually emerge successful.
doesnt seem to apply to 2.4km run..
-aysha
oh. my. gosh.
i just spent 4 most gruelling hours in my life in the kitchen earlier. making stupid cookies. it is so tedious i felt like giving up the moment i began.
firstly the weighing scale decided to go bonkers on me and i had to keep correcting the zero error. i think i spent a good ten mins just measuring out the butter, sugar and flour. that didnt quite tick me off. yet.
the making of the dough part wasnt a problem. i placed some dough on the board thingit and started to roll it with the rolling pin thing. and that. was when i decided i made a horrible decision when i chose to make those dumb cookies.
i tried desperately to roll the dough out as evenly as possible, comforted only by the presence of my mother. (she tried to be encouraging but i saw right through it) so next i used the little cutter things to make little stars and flowers and hearts of dough. and attempted to scoop them onto the tray.
bad bad outcome. i declared myself hopeless and was on the verge of giving up. why should i subject myself to such kitchen horrors? but my mom insisted that i keep trying cause as cliche as it may sound, practice makes perfect. so i obeyed.
and spent 4 bloody hours on that stupid task. at least it tasted good. but the conclusion is, i will see to it that each and every person who steps into my house for hari raya WILL eat those cookies and they WILL compliment me for it. yups.
yes im done.

i miss school.
ok no, let me rephrase. of course i dont miss school.
i miss s21. yeah. i see 4 of them regularly though. but the rest of them seem to be so faraway. like hiding behind the windows of the v17 classroom.. or standing outside the bio lab.. or being god knows where.. sometimes online but 'busy'. i demand an outing.
i know this is a stupid thing to update about but i feel like the scab has somewhat taken up so much of my attention. its taking me so much effort to not pick on it. i'll miss it when it falls off. hah.
i very dont like a certain somebody right now. not that i havent hated said person since nearly forever. but its just peaking right now.
im gg to bake now. satu hari di hari raya.. kulihat blablabla.. (im useless at malay so i hum.)

the scab on my knee is shrinking and stretching the skin along with it. i havent had a scab in a very long time. forgot how much i like its smell..
had a lousy and rather pointless malay lesson this morning. i think i might be anti-social to a certain extent. oh no. anyways. i had pw after tt and well. im supposed to still be doing pw right now. op rehearsal is on wednesday and i really shouldnt be slacking anymore. *sigh*
went to the lovely treehouse to play bridge again this afternoon. replacing wara with hari followed by faiz. after which we got caught. -_-' tan yew hwee gave us a mini lecture and shoo-ed us out of our own school.
so hanisah, vibs and me walked out of school to stand at the overhead bridge and bitch about teachers in general. i know tt this blogging about teachers thing is supposedly illegal blablabla i can get sued blablabla so i just wont mention names anymore. but teachers do take note, we students are only human. we dont really mean any harm. but sometimes you really irritate us that we have to resort to fantasizing about your deaths. its sadistic, i know. but im not the only one.

so i saw faizah's picture on friendster. bloody hell i flipped when i saw it. haha. tts not called frothy, lady. tts called curly. but it doesnt look as natural as before ): ohwells. will take some time getting used to, tt short hair. i wants to see!

the only reason i bothered waking up this morning to go to school was simply because i was the one who printed a copy of the written report. since the deadline was today and im a responsible groupmate i decided to turn up for school and hand in our excellent piece of work. however, tt was all i did today. i popped into gp lesson after rotting with the class in the canteen. then my hp cocked up. again. and jolencia was extra irritated by it. haha..
so we decided we needed new phones. we dumped our stuff in the chior rm and attempted to happily walk out of school by the main gate. unfortunately the guard stopped us and i stupidly admitted to being a year one. so jolencia and i went to the big gate behind t-block to escape. haha. this is the ridiculous bit. jolencia managed to climb the gate with utmost ease. so i thought 'hey cant be tt hard..' so i tried next. and landed on my knees after being clearly instructed to land on both feet. haha.
yups so we went to pwae and walk2ed ard and went into every single hp shop there was. both of us are totally in love with e720c. but apparently abah was right. it is obsolete. the lady at hello! said tt e720c is being replaced by e730c tts y all hp shops got no more stock of e720c. shucks. even if they have like a few phones left for sale, theyre this icky grey colour.
blabla was heartbroken yadida went to macs to read while jolencia studied chinese. and then a rude little man decided to help himself to a seat at our table.
"hi im not gg to ask u to buy anything. just wanna advertise... blablablabla 70 dollars blablabla no need to buy blablabla FREE blablabla.."
*bored expressions on our faces*
"no need to buy blablablabla so if u guys want i'll be ard here ok?" then he cheerfully walks away. quite irritated tt he wasnt affected by our obvious lack of interest in his shit story.
oh today i buka in the bus.

im baaaaack!!
yesyes promos ended last friday not today but i only started blogging again today cause i dunno.. i dont think i like blogging very much anymore.. i have games to play movies to watch places to go novels to read the bed to sleep on and i'd really rather do all tt than rant about nothing in particular to myself when i can actually do tt in my own head without sharing all my thoughts with the public. but then i kinda miss it. my tagboard is so dead. haha.
before promos, mugging period was disaster disaster all the way and just as i thought it couldnt get worse the real promo papers were so disgusting tt terming it disaster would be an understatement. yup. so basically life was hellish and i was perpetually sleepy and irritable and at the verge of giving up hope.
now tt the papers are over the hope has really disappeared. bye bye S papers. hah. so yeah. havent done much since friday's freedom. did a whole lot of sleeping (which was undescribably glorious i must add) and sims have come back into my life(: rediscovering the joys of sitting in front of the computer and playing brainless games tt amuse me for a while.. thanks to faizah i now realise tt sims give birth to babies in diapers. its so cute. hah.
i have a feeling im gg to be visiting the library quite often now.. since its ramadhan and im going to be bored silly anyways.. been getting insane urges to bake. very unlike myself. oo speaking of bake, i have a whole stash of cookies and brownies hidden within the depths of my room. haha.
went to town w fai yesterday. met her right after her paper and we walked around the entire of orchard. learnt a fair deal about orchard yet again. hehe. yups, watched corpse bride (quite sweeeet!) and went to hmv. fai was looking for cartoons (but sadly to no avail) and i saw ghost reveries. 47 effing bucks. ouch. anyways, then we cudnt resist the temptation to buy cookies. so yeah. i spent about ten bucks on them. talk about splurge.
haha and after tt physically draining trip to town i had to meet my family at geylang. ew. more walking but this time with boring and unengaging sights. hehe. buka puasa at the mosque near hotel 81. hee. and prayed maghrib there. quite an experience. i found the chorusing of the 'aaaamiiiin' lovely(: must go again.
well. right now my shoulders are aching so badly. i have no idea why. ashraf said it could be a ghost sitting on my shoulders. i think i dont like him very much today..
