Worlds Within!
i watched the first two episodes, and crazy, this show is so AWESOME! :DD certainly this is not your normal cheesy-comedy drama; this drama is very realistic. it deals with feelings and surprisingly, i can connect to it! ......dealing with the past, facing truths, working situation....wow. the whole drama production managed to portray all this feelings in just 2 episodes! and i just can't wait to watch the whole entire drama after SPM!
that's about it. off to bath, then probably study.....probably.
SPM'S IN 10 MORE DAYS!!!! =O

1 litre of tears..
emo. i did not get enough sleep yesterday - i should really stop watching dramas and animes online! i think i need to hire somebody to drag me away from the laptop. xD sigh. and you know la, not enough sleep = Emo andrea. after school, came straight home, ate nuggets (which wasn't fully cooked but i was too fat to cook it again, so i was contented with my half-cooked nuggets) . Emo-ed again anyways. then, listened to Mark Schultz's "Walking Her Home". at first it was to fill my time (so that i can hum along the song....practicing for my opening number on stage next time. :p), till i listened to the lyrics....a loved one passed away. :( EMOEMO! had lots of accounts homework to do also before tuition today - couldn't sleep again after coming back from school. Lagi Emo. then kena lecture....More Emo. worse, woke up late for tuition. it wouldn't matter if it was other tuitions, but it was THE tuition. Accounts Tuition. roar. Emo. then got nagged again. Super Emo. now still emo-ing......
Hi. nice to meet you, my name is EmoGirl.
Mark Schultz - Walking Her Home
Looking back
He sees it all
It was her first date the night he came to call
Her dad said son
Have her home on time
And promise me you'll never leave her side
He took her to a show in town
And he was ten feet off the ground
(Chorus)
As he was walking her home
And holding her hand
Oh the way she smiled it stole the breath right out of him
Down that old road
With the stars up above
He remembers where he was the night he fell in love
He was walking her home
Ten more years and a waiting room
At half past one
So when the doctor said come in and meet your son
His knees went weak
When he saw his wife
She was smiling as she said he's got your eyes
And as she slept he held her tight
His mind went back to that first night
(Chorus)
He walked her through the best days of her life
Sixty years together and he never left her side
A nursing home
At eighty-five
And the doctor said it could be her last night
And the nurse said Oh
Should we tell him now
Or should he wait until the morning to find out
But when they checked her room that night
He was laying by her side
Oh he was walking her home
And holding her hand
Oh the way she smiled when he said this is not the end
And just for a while they were eighteen
And she was still more beautiful to him than anything
He was walking her home
He was walking her home
Looking back
He sees it all
It was her first date the night he came to call
ps. some parts were overly exaggerated for readers. heehee.

EVENTS, EVENTS, EVENTS!
Mid-term results
well, mid-term was quite tough especially sejarah since....you know, i didnt study. haha. when results were out, surprise, surprise! i managed to get number 14 in class! i really wanna praise God for that! but my average was kind of low though. (i got a 67.72%) still okay i guess.
conclusion : i need to start studying and stop procrastinating. no more late minute work! (i think i've said this a million times already)
less than 120 days to SPM! (when i wrote this as a draft, it was less than 120 days to SPM.)
Teachers' Day
preparation by my juniors were a total mess. the day before teachers' day, many seniors had to come back to school and worked through the night with the juniors. many didn't sleep at all until the teachers' day event was over. but i stayed in school for the whole day till 11pm only cause mum didn't allow to stay any longer. in short, teachers' day was a frustrated day. so geram with juniors!
Carnival Day
on this very day, i spent most of my time dutying. yes, DUTYING. (and plus helping out at the netball stall a lil) nevertheless, i enjoyed parading around the school in my blazer. not like every other year, this year, they opened the door to outsiders. there is no need for a pass, no need for any paper or signature. of course, they still have got to abide by our rules. like for example, not being lala (wearing super SUPER short shorts, micro mini skirts, etc.....)there were tons of these chinese girls struting their lala clothes, so yea, NO COMING IN! muahahhahahaha! sadly, i was deprived of lengzais on that day! so few lengzais okay! sighh.. hahaha..
Malam Senanjung Kasih
it was held a week after our carnival day. and again, the prefects dutied; we dutied. this was a concert put together by teachers. they brought in chinese singers, and our very own students performed too. tickets to this concert were RM10 for the one in the afternoon, and RM30 and RM50 for the one in the night. it was a fund raising concert with the aim of collecting more money for our canteen and to build air-cond in our school hall if i'm not mistaken. well, there was no need for us to duty much on that day though. we just enjoyed ourselves (free admission for prefects) and got the best view! (we stood up right near the stage, beside the VIPs) i liked the dance performance performed by a group of form 4 guys, and of course the guy artiste who sang Michael Buble song! the taekwondo performance got my adrenaline pumping too. hehe.
Junior Prefects Interview
boy, was it a great time of shooting......the senior prefects. lol. no, its not typo error. your eyesight is well. i found that rather than us questioning the juniors, telling them of their mistake, well.......the senior prefects had their fair share of being shot at, by the juniors. truth be told, i was giggling when my batch got shot. muahahahhaha. yes, i'm evil. but if you were there, i'm pretty sure you would chuckle out loud too. no joke. (any prefects reading this, i'm sorry.)
after a few weeks......
big news.
TAN PAK KHEONG GOT APPENDICITIS
and his appendices almost rupture. it was a great shock for the whole 5S class. i'm sure you'll ask why didn't he go and see the doctor when he had symptoms? like....when he had stomach ache and all.... guess what. he did went to a clinic before that....
and they diagnose him as gastric. = =
i mean, how much lamer can the doctors in clinic get?! grrrrrr. anyhows, praise God he's still alive and kicking! lol. and i really wanna thank God his appendices did not rupture fully.....if not the chances of seeing him again........................
CHOI CHOI CHOI CHOI. xD
sadly though, he didn't make it in time for the
PREFECTORIAL BOARD 2007/2008 RETIREMENT DAY / INSTALLATION OF THE NEW LEADERS OF PREFECTORIAL BOARD 2008/2009
yeap, i'm old, and i aint shy to admit it. (see, i'm not in denial for once.) hehe. (: it felt like it was just moments ago that i looked at my seniors retiring when i was in form 3.....and form 4. and now, i'm retiring. time sure passes by quickly indeed. we had all the jamuan and stuff. oh, we went to Shogun to eat too! heheh.
now, i'm enjoying my life as a normal student. normal crazy student. (how can normal and crazy be in the same sentence???????) lol.
soon though, i'll be sitting for my
SPM TRIALS.
and in less than 90 days time,
the REAL SPM.
0 o
gosh, i really am old!
ps. pics for all events will be coming up later in another post. i'm too lazy to upload now. :p

CF Camp 2008!
as the days drew nearer, things started going our way according to plans, and there were less doubts in me. ernest, adelene, jacqueline, Ms Assunta, Mr Joshua, Ernest's mum....they kept on praying and praying so much so that the devil didn't have any opportunity to attack us. but one day before the camp, problems aroused......again. but on the day of and throughout the camp, the scattered pieces fell back at its place, and everything went well.
at the starting, we actually had only 2 musicians at first..we couldn't find a guitarist, only found a keyboardist and drummer. but on the way to SUFES campsite in the bus, we found out Ser Jin (don't really know how to spell his name) knows how to play the guitar! praise God! and as we got along the camp...we found out many other who knows how to play the keyboard. Grace was one of them and she helped out in the later sessions. then came along Jeremy, Pastor Katherine's son who knew how to play the guitar too! and helped us... God worked so many miracles among us i tell you. He's just so awesome. when things seem like it's not going our way, God is always there putting things into its place for us when we ask for it.
and right....i was the only one scheduled to song lead for all the sessions. and i was like, "What?! it's my first time doing it, and Lord, i don't think i can do it!" BUT. i actually did it! ( Ernest helped to worship lead the last session btw. ) God helped me, and He actually taught me many many things while i worship led and while preparation too. before this, i wasn't intact with God much. i hardly pray, i hardly do my devotions (almost never), but i realised that if my life is not right with God, i can't worship lead. i can't lead this people in to the presence of God. i'm so unclean. and darkness and light cannot assemble together as you guys know. so i asked for forgiveness and made my life right with God again. and really, God really moved in our midst. the first session of worship and the last few session of worship was so different! the whole worship music team grew more in the Lord, and He took us to a very different level of worship! thanks to Ser Jin, Ernest, Adelene, Gibien, Joanne, Jacqueline, Grace, Jeremy, Mr Joshua, Ms Assunta, Che Che Esther, they helped me so much in worship and we were all like worship leaders during worship session! they constantly prayed for me, we kept seeking God together, there were just so much unity! God brought us together, and i still remembered all the session we would sit down and pray together for a theme, for the Holy Spirit, for everything! while we prepared for the worship session too, we had our own worship time!
God really really really is AWESOME i tell you! those of you who did not go, you guys missed out so much! i'm back, rejuvenated! refreshed! restored! and renewed! :D the Lord has certainly done a great work in camp.
we had many memories too in camp. we went for jungle trekking and stream trotting! it was so much fun! though we were really tired, but everyone managed to stay awake until bedtime. hehe.
and did i tell you that i had my very own breakthrough in my spiritual life?! cause YES, i had a breakthrough!!! as i worship lead, God spoke so much to me and lead me on to Him through many many people. especially Gibien.. Gibien is certainly a man of God, and God used him to speak to me about many important things. Ms Assunta also spoke to me, and i really thank God for her.. i thank God for using her to speak to me. i thank God for Ernest, for always believing in me, and praying for me...Joanne, Adelene, and Jacqueline, for always being there praying for me, helping me, encouraging me, believing in me. Ser Jin for always helping me during worship.. you know when i couldnt reach the note or something, he'll sing so loudly to cover up for me, and also to queue me in when i didn't know when to come in. i thank God for Jeremy for being such a great cheerful guy, and he taught me many things about being a worship leader. Che Che Esther too (haha. not auntie. lol. ). she taught me many things about being a worship leader and she's always there encouraging me. i thank God for Grace too, she helped me alot in playing the keyboard, even when i give my hand signal late, she doesn't blame me...(the whole worship team too. thanks guys!) i really really appreciate all you guys. and i really thank God for each and every one of you, including everyone who attended this CF camp!
i could just go on and on talking about this camp and God's great work in us. God is just such an awesome God and friend! thank You Lord for everything! :DD
anyways, here are some pics..
CF Camp 2008 Worship Music Team! you're looking at the faces who impacted my life...who helped me in my relationship with God..who built me up. (:

i belong to Jesus.
haha. i know i'm really outdated, but i found this pics on net recently only. the cute guy in the pic is none other than Kaka, after AC Milan won the match against Liverpool last year i think. correct me if i'm wrong.
i really admire him for his courage to stand up for God amidst all the hype after winning. rather than self-praising, or throwing off shirt to show off the well-built body like other athletes normally do, he threw off his shirt to reveal another shirt, "I belong to Jesus"; he gave glory to Jesus.
God bless you, Kaka. (:

flesh is weak.
New American Standard Bible
"Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
God's Word @ Translation
"Stay awake, and pray that you won't be tempted. You want to do what's right, but you're weak."
i posted up two same verses with different translation so that the meaning will be clearer and easier to understand.
currently, this verse speaks alot to me. i went through a bunch of messed up thoughts today as i quarantined myself in the room the whole day.. (except when i had to eat my lunch and dinner) i realised, many a time i had the will and determination to do something, to change my ways, but i always end up in the same old spot; the black spot on a white piece of paper. each time i make a change of mind to change my ways, i would be so full of hope and strength........well, at least for a few days. then, i would begin to forget and forgo everything i should hold on to; i fall into the devil's temptation again.
and the cycle repeats and repeats and repeats.
it's kind of funny actually. i know all the steps and facts i should know to change my ways. in fact, i even advised people on this matter before, yet, now that i'm in this situation, i can barely pull myself out of it.
i know i should rely on God, ask Him for strength to carry on, to pray, to be strong-willed in changing my ways...but i don't. i know with human effort i'll fail, yet i insist on going on with only my imperfect human strength.
sigh..
now i'm like a bonfire dying off due to lack of woods..... i need refill! wood refill....God's wood refill to carry on, and to stop giving in to the devil!
one day... one day i will be able to smirk at the devil and tell him, "hah. LOSER!"
just wait for that day, devil. just you wait.
and then, i can praise my almighty God forever and ever...without feeling ashamed or guilty. (:
anyways, CF camp is coming up! can't wait! haha.. it's gonna be exciting and refreshing. Hillsongs' coming too! in 2 days time.. sadly can't go. oh wells..
good day, peeps! :D

last-minute superstar.
but this year, This very year, life proved me and my lazy mindset wrong. the on-going mid-term exam slapped, and is still slapping me in my face, practically screaming "HELLO??!! you can't possibly cram so many info into your void head now!"
really. i barely understand any concept, i don't remember formulas, so practically, i have nothing but nuts in my head! okay, so i have a mass called Brain inside my head, but yea, it's filled with nothing. nothing, baby. Nothing! nada.
at least last year form 4, there were so few chapters to study. i could burn the midnight oil and revise the subject on the night before whatever-exam-it-was and still attain great results. now, yes, i can achieve "great" results. i can fail with flying colours and be called a blond....or in a Malaysian way, lalamui - not in fashion sense, but in academics ya know. cause lalamuis tend to get failing grades and all, due to their disgusting-wannabe-CUTE-with-the-guys and their inability to think normally, especially in fashion. stop the 1,2,3,4,5, finger-sticking-on-your-face in the pictures before a Normal human being tells you off in your face. and pleaaseeee, DO NOT misinterpret it as "i think she/he is jealous of me!". same goes to the lalazais. normal people can only tolerate certain amount of stupidity. go back to kindergarten and learn your colours and numbers, kiddo.
ANYWAYS. back to topic. (gee, i strayed so far.)
so i call myself a last-minute superstar, Not superwoman. why? because i'm well-known for being Ms. Last-Minute, but i don't always happen to get away doing it. i am powerless. and i ain't no superwoman.
i guess as we grow up, we have to put a stop to doing work last minute. time management is essential, and nobody's gonna hire me in future if i keep this going. so, CHANGE, ANDREA!
say NO to Last-Minute work.

must. must. must.
i'm being a lil not-me anymore nowadays, it's like i'm being someone else, someone alien. i hardly talk, i hardly smile, i hardly burst into paroxysms of laughter. i feel no euphoria. perhaps, i'm being affected by everything that is going on right now in school...in prefects. sigh.
anyway, i'm still in the middle of exams, and really, i'm doing no good. i've been a Garfield these few days, well fed, and well lazy too. mum's taking extreme good care of me, cutting mangos for me, grinding juices, and here i am, being an ungrateful child by going online and flunking exams.
guilty as charged.
i must change. i must. i must. i must!
and i was being Meredith just now, thinking of my very own McDreamy and McSteamy, after having a real good quality time with mum, talking about her love life back in the old days.
boys......the distractions they bring. xD
before i go off, please, whoever you are, come for SMKB CF Camp in June! God is going to do mighty things among us. keep the CF camp in prayer too, will ya? thanks a biggie bunch. (:

Unending Love..
Well, i was up in Genting when Juin Hoong called me and told me the Big News. to say i was shocked would be a lie..........cause i wasn't even close to shocked; i was all calm and normal. no breathing difficulty, no "WHAT! OMGosh!".
Yea, no whatsoever.
In fact, i smiled; i sort of half expected it to happen, but just not as soon as i imagined. they've been giving many signs all this while actually, the "this is the last thing i'm gonna do" sentence, the "look", etc....... Plus, it is really time for them to take a break, especially KJ. As a friend(if he still consider me as one. lol), i felt happy for him, but as my prefect self, i felt terribly at loss.
Haha. But imagine if Lembaga Pengawas were to be a famous board, they would have made the headlines in newspaper today.
"IS THIS A JOKE? 3 ASSISTANT HEAD PREFECTS, TOGETHER WITH A TREASURER BACKED OUT YESTERDAY"
or in news report on tv...
"Breaking news, live from SMKB. 4 respected senior prefects have made their move. They resigned yesterday and was seen wearing normal students' uniform. Many are wondering, many are asking. Everyone's curious.
"why?" "what has happened?".
As for now, reasons to why this sudden incident has happened is yet to be known..."
lol.
Anyway, back to topic. After we ended our conversation, it finally dawned to me that it IS a Big Thing.
"what are we gonna do?" I asked myself repeatedly.
Since my parents were with me in the hotel room, i told them right away about this thing.
and they went like,
"YOU SHOULD HAVE FOLLOWED THEM!"
LOL. and they started nagging me to resign too. haha.
I know it's pretty hard to believe, but i came to school with quite a heavy heart actually. i thought to myself, "isn't this such an irresponsible act by them?" "how can they leave us like this?" (*note that i wasn't very clear about everything at that time, since i've only heard the story from JH.)
Until now, i still say that it IS a very irresponsible act by them. (seriously, i don't see why Jian Lim, Wai Ken, and Nyin Hui had to resign.. but i believe that as time goes by, i will learn) As for KJ, i can't deny that he has a solid reason to do what he did.
I've also heard about what they said in the meeting with seniors yesterday, about their personal reasons and all to why they did this.
want to have a piece of my own mind?
it's all down to MISCOMMUNICATION. (if you don't understand what i'm saying, it's okay. cause i know you won't understand. if you do, kindly keep it to yourself. haha.)
sighh..
life would definitely be better if everyone took the time to understand one another, build each other up with words of encouragement rather than piercing words. Most importantly, life would be best if everyone was truthful to each other. So no rough assumptions would be made, and there will be no wrong thoughts and choices done..
if.........and only if.
(i'll be doing a tribute to 4 of them in my next post regardless whether they are able to read it or not to remember all their hard work, effort, sweat, strength, encouragement, ideas, etc....to remember at least a little of what they've done so much for us..........for LP.)
but one thing i know, and i will always know.........no matter where we go, or what we do, in 10, 20, 30, 40, or even a 100 years later, we, the prefects of SMKB, AJK 2007/2008, still have one thing in common.
WE LOVE LP. AND WE'LL ALWAYS LOVE LP.
"now i hate LP. because i once loved LP"
the last words of Senior Wen Pin before he retired..
shucks, i'm dropping tears already!

everything is new.
this new look is more matured than the previous one. and simpler too...that is if you realise. this makeover thingy is actually my first step to changing for the better.
what do i mean for the better?
well, starting from here onwards, i'm going to stop blogging about the apek aka number 2. (fyi, it's a guy whom i have a crush on.). i've found much more meaningful things to blog on, for instance, my journey in life with God by my side. i realised, how much i miss walking through life with Him guiding my every step.
after i stopped going for youth services on saturday (due to tuition and unavailability), my faith went down the drain altogether with my relationship with God. oh yes, my excuse may sound valid enough to not go on saturday, but it's still mere excuses. my ego made me think that without going to church, i can still be strong in faith. i was definitely still strong for few months......but now, i barely do my devotions.
hence, the new blog outlook. and a new change of heart. a step closer to maturity, perhaps?
in this blog, i want to speak fervently about the One i love, Jesus. the ups and downs i go through. the One who loves me so much so He never fails to pick me up each time i fall.
i wanna keep my faith alive. i want to give my all to Him.
"Astounding."
His miracles in my life. His wondrous works. His amazing grace.
"for no eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has in store for those who love Him. 1 Corinthians 2:9"
surprise me, Lord. (:
for the old has gone, the new has come.
ps. no worries. i'll still be blogging about school and all. haha. i'll still humour you faithful readers of mine. heheh. and you like my new pic? the fireworks... took it during Independence Day 2007 at Putrajaya. :)
for the sake of remembrance, i shall post my previous blog skin picture here.

=D
(i'm happy!)
- even by staring at you, you make me go all girly. (andrea going girly? ewww. you can say that again.. ewwwwwww.)
Monday, April 28, 2008
bah..
i'm feeling heaty.
mid-term's coming up.
tuition teachers freaking out;
'blessing' us with tons of homework,
shucks! it's making me go berserk!
sigh, it feels too long a day,
but what am i to say?
datelines, datelines, and more datelines,
oh, just let me rest under a pine!
of course, bring my boy along,
so we can sing lots and lots of songs.
together.....forever. :)
but he's not here with me.....he's only in my dreams; we hardly talk now, we avoid seeing each other, we barely acknowledge each other's presence. HOW NOW? :(
so many obstacles.....
even if it does, love sees an imperfect person, perfect, accepting every of his flaws.......
................i just wish that..we'll talk again. - and that's more than enough a reason for me to smile.
okkkkkaaaayyyyyy. andrea's emo-ing.

pronunciation..
while chatting, Khing Yuan said this,
"if you want me to pass you, i'll fail you 3 times first before you get to pass.."
"FEEL you 3 times first. haha." the oh-so-creative-and-funny KJ repeated.
and he got his deserved smack from me.
dirty dirty boys. agree? agree.

i hate pmsing.
i should just quit and end this misery.
it's just not worth it. AT ALL.
Somewhere along in the bitterness
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

LOVE is..
It does not envy, it does not boast,
It is not proud, It is not rude,
It is not self-seeking,
It is not easily angered,
It keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil,
but rejoices with the truth.
it is always ready to excuse,
to trust, to hope,
and to endure whatever comes.
Love bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends.
Love Never Fails.
* 1 Corinthians 13 : 4 - 8

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!
EDWIN CHEW SOON YIN
AKA
AARON CHEW SOON YIN!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!
you've been such a great dad all these years to me... i really really thank God for you, for being such a big blessing to me; always providing everything i need, keeping me in prayer all the time in your daily devotion and especially when i have exams (i know mum and you pray extra hard cause you guys know i study last minute).
i can still laugh whenever i think of you; cracking all those lame jokes while on the road when we have family trips, and making every Sunday morning merry by singing those really really OLD lame songs accompanied by your VERY LOUD guitar strumming, so loud, it wakes us all up in not a nice way - with tousled hair and muffled mumbles cry of pain.
but haha. it's funny when i look back and think of all these memories. until now, i still can remember you won the cooking competition for the red house on Family Day...even your fried rice, does enough justice to proving you as the Best Dad God has ever given to me. in tough times, you're always The Man, strong and standing, while we look to you for comfort a nd sometimes, to complain, and you'll take it all like a man without uttering a single word of frustration.
i adore you, daddy.
we all adore you.
this year, as you grow a year older, haha. and a year more matured too, i pray that your hair wont go white so soon, wont drop so much, and that God will slow down your aging rate. i pray for good health,(must not be so yit hei or cheong hei, okay. no good for blood pressure.) and that the Lord will prosper you in every part of your life, be it in work, family, or health. (when you're more prosperous, i'll get to shop more! heh.) i pray that you'll also continue to be strong in the Lord and also a man of God...
to me, you're an accomplished man, and you're the most perfect man out there.
daddy; my knight in shining armor; my friend!; God's best gift to me.
(:
you so rock weh! i wanna my future hubby to be like my daddy! kekeke.
have a blessed birthday and year ahead, dad.
ps. mummy told me alot of funny stories about you. she told me how you're so innocent, and didn't know how to say flattering stuff to her when you kau her that time. haha. funny.

1st of April!
APRIL FOOL!
haha! xD
lol. ignore the lameness. so yeah, i actually skipped school today. the thought of sitting mindlessly in class while, half of the class are out skipping class with the reason of having "science and maths week activities", and the only reason to why you're sitting in class is because you're a prefect, and you ought and is expected, to be a role model to students, just, sucks. sleeping at home definitely sounded wiser, thus, my absence in school today. haha.
- it's April Fool Day! obviously........it's 1st of April.
- form 4 junior prefects
- it's Soon Heng's birthday! Happy Birthday Soon Heng! (though you wouldn't be reading this) was supposed to attend his surprise party today, but i being the queen of FFK, ffk-ed it. haha. sorry!

a pervert in making?
i had school in the morning today too. i know, sucks right, it's a Saturday and we're having school. but that's how we attain our long continuous holidays, so it's good in a way............in a way.
anyhows, this was one of the questions asked by our BM teacher, Pn Jalilah in class today. we were discussing about the prosa tradisional Sabor in class and she asked a KBKK question.
"Pada pendapat anda, bagaimanakah seseorang suami dapat memastikan isterinya tidak curang?"
guess what i told Ben?
.....
"belajar lebih banyak posisi....."
...
...
xD
and being the smart Ben, he stood up enthusiastically, half laughing, and told teacher my answer........ "cikgu, andrea kata belajar lebih banyak posisi....."
.................which.............in fact started to make her rant about how much we youngsters know about "everything" these days; how corrupted we are; how the government do not need to give us educational talk on sex anymore considering our wide "knowledge". hahahahahah. oh wells.......hehee.
but shucks, i'm starting to sound like a pervert now. am not, okay! AM NOT! (just trying to justify myself) xD
believe the innocent me, would you?
hah.
ps. i saw Chee Yung in Genting today! :D (for those who don't know him, he was one of the hottest guys in school last time...an assistant prefect, a top notch athlete with an absolutely GREAT body and face.........how'd i know? ...........i saw him topless before. * drools and grins * but now he gained plenty of weight already, so, whatever laahh. ) :P met him on the elevator at first world, and we were opposite each other; we were going down, he was going up. sis and bro managed to say hi to him, but i didn't! cause was so busy talking to my mum, and did not realise his presence, not until my bro shook hands briefly with him.......by that time, it was too late already. sighhh. hahaa. what la me. haha.

How to Save a Life - The Fray
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
=( sighh...
American Idol.
heh. one can easily list down the few finalists that will be in at top 5. David Archuleta, duh, will be one of 'em, and not forgetting Syesha Mercado...who actually gave her best performance today, singing Yesterday by Paul McCartney. David Cook and Chikezie, is very versatile too though they did receive bad comments from Simon today. as for me, i'm rooting for Jason Castro, the cute innocent guy everybody can't help but smile at,
top 2?
David Archuleta's seat is like haha. 99.99% reserved, unless a big mistake occurs, which would not happen in a million years. hahahahaha. i have no idea bout the other contestant who would be in top 2.. hmmm..
for today, i like Syesha's performance best. her rendition of Yesterday can simply make your tears drop,
personality wise, i like Ramiele Malubay.. she's cute and bubbly and has the most gorgeous eyes ever.. hehhehe.. okay, i sound like some lesbo now. xD Jason's personality attracts me too. he reminds me of Andrew, a finalist in the very first Malaysian Idol if i'm not mistaken. very smiley; very gentleman. :DD
trivia : David Archuleta is a mormon. :(
go Syesha! go Jason!

Cinderella - by Steven Curtis Chapman
Without a care in the world.
And I'm sitting here wearing the weight of the world on my shoulders.
It's been a long day and there's still work to do,
She's pulling at me saying "Dad I need you!
There's a ball at the castle and I've been invited and I need to practice my dancin'"
"Oh please, daddy, please!"
Chorus:
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone.
Verse 2:
She says he's a nice guy and I'd be impressed
She wants to know if I approve of the dress
She says, "Dad the prom is just one week away
And I need to practice my dancin'
"Oh please, daddy , please!"
Chorus:
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone
Verse 3:
But she came home today with a ring on her hand
Just glowin' and tellin' us all they had planned
She says, "Dad the wedding's still six months away but I need to practice my dancin'
"Oh please, daddy , please!"
Chorus:
So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
'Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh I will dance with Cinderella
I don't want to miss even one song
'Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she'll be gone
this song's touching, huh? (: so people, love your dads!
how how how??
HAK MUI ALREADY ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
(kiok pei; crippled; kaki tempang. hak mui; dark girl; black girl)
i'm currently limping cause my middle toe on my right foot is swollen..................and may i add, badly swollen. (but i still went for marching practice today! semangat, semangat! haha. though half way through i had to excuse myself out from the line cause my foot couldn't take it anymore...)
heh.
due to marching, i've gotten really really dark too. my two toned neck and legs are extremely visible. :(

hot guys oh hot guys...
SMOKE?!?!?!?!??!??!?!
it's so not cool; what a big turn off. gahh.
anyways, i went for my 5 hour lecture driving course today, and i made it back alive! :D
.......lame. haha.
so i met this cute guy friend at the course. during break in the afternoon, both of us went out together from the driving course (located near Wasbudi), to one of the shop lots in sri sinar since haha. the food they sell at the driving place there did not look appetizing...
nice guy, cute, not lala, stays at Mont Kiara.. what more can you ask for?
but one thing, he smokes. or at least i think so. i wonder if i was hallucinating. cause he seriously do not look like the type of guy who does that kind of stuff. saw him smoking in the morning (it was a quick glance, thats why i'm not sure) when i sat next to him while waiting to register.
why, why, why?!!!??!?!!?
WHY SMOKE?!!??!!
its so ewww, and it kills. (it rhymes!) haha. :D so people, don't smoke! if you do, don't come near me. cause it's bad for MY health too you know. hehehehe. xD (no worries, we'll still be friends..)
(:
sighh....
BE GAY?!!?!?!?!?!
aren't there such nice available girls
.......i just came back from Genting btw. heh. (: oh, oh! i'm starting my undang driving lesson course tomorrow too! gonna be sitting for 5 boring hours of lecture. torture maximum!

AGM LP 2008!
my alarm went off sharp at 7.30am today since i was required to be in school by 8am. but as expected of me, i stepped foot in school only at 8.30am. hehheh. well, as guilty as i'm charged, i've got a valid reason! reaaaaalllyyyy!
you see you see, as you guys dont know (lol), kj was busy doing our prefect's AGM stuff till 2.40am yesterday night or should i say...today morning? ..he worked really really hard to plan and coordinate everything for this day, like, really REALLY hard. sometimes, he works so hard, he puts me between cheering him on, or knocking his head so hard it brings him back to what people call a normal student. kekeke.
so i obliged by accompanying him, since he has always been such a wonderful guy to me; never failing to send me into paroxysms of laughter when i'm down, standing my soundings when i'm in a rage and so on.
aside from the fact
the consequences? i only got 5 hours of sleep, which equals to a very very sleepy andrea. heh. :)
throughout the whole morning, many problems aroused.. it's actually Mr Lim's birthday today and we wanted to give him a surprise and celebrate with him. unfortunately, he couldn't come. it seemed that the final invitation letter did not reach him. only the old one did (we changed the time from morning to afternoon, so he came in the morning..) =( sighh. aside from that, many teachers did not turn up for our AGM! we gave out like, 16 letters? only 5 people, including Mr Ong came. = =
and almost none of them informed us about their reason! grrrrr. haha.
oh wells. it was still a great AGM anyways! ;) i'm not sure whether i can post the whole video of all the prefects up, so i'm posting only my video (unedited version).
heard kj's voice? haha.

Ah Beng's toilet visit!
am in the mood for jokes right now. so here's an Ah Beng joke i found in some other blogger's blog. it made me laugh a whole lot! xD
Dr. Quek made a routine house call to Ah Beng, one of his elderly patients.
He asks, "And how are you doing today, Ah Beng?"
Ah Beng replies, "I feel just fine, doc. But you know, it's the strangest thing. Every night when I get up to pang jio,the bathroom light goes on for me automatically when I open the door!"
The doctor is worried that the old man is getting senile, so he phones the man's son, and the son's wife answers. The doctor tells her, "Mrs. Lim, I'm a little concerned about your father-in-law. It seems that when he gets up to urinate at night and opens the bathroom door, the light somehow goes on..."
At which point, Mrs. Lim yells, "Ah Seng! Ah Pa pang jio in the fridge again!"

5 seconds of fame. (:
here's a snapshot of my video. will be posting up the whole video after the AGM only.
don't i look cool? *grins*

election fever.
who did the people vote for?
this year was definitely a big sweep for the opposition party, seeing that the citizens of Malaysia have finally realised the great need to voice out.
the biggest news. BN, did not win 2/3 of the parliment seats. this means, the opposition parties will be able to voice out any doubt in decisions made by BN. thats a good thing. they're able to keep track of financial issues (in case of bribery and those not-so-good stuff) and projects worked on (where did that part of budget go to? etc..)
next biggest news. DAP has finally got hold of Penang! new rulings, new Chief Minister! woot!
next next biggest news. opposition party rules in 5 states! (way lot more compared to previous election) BN only got 6 i think.
next next next (lol) biggest news. DAP has got all the urban areas! such as, Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur (many parts of it), Perak! (ipoh, taiping and the cities), Selangor! last but not least..........Penang! :D
after much inspection (lol) and analyzing, this time the citizens did not really care about who (in their area) were they voting for, rather, they just wanted to vote for the opposition. the opposition parties worked together in a way too. if you really go in depth, when one opposition party becomes a candidate for a certain area, the other opposition party will automatically keep themselves out of that area. good job, people!
Malaysia has finally got its balance in politics; expect more voicing out and a better Malaysia! :DD phew.......finally!
ps. stay at home these few days though. it's not quite safe, in case there is a riot or some sort going on..
andrea's signing off!

i offer devotion.
so anyways, today is election day! meaning........tuitions are off! no scouts activity! and................I'M FREE! yay yay! :D
seeing that, i decided to go for youth! and i didn't regret going...really. worship time was awesome! i felt so free in His presence and everything that has been troubling me was lifted up to Him. i even surrendered all my thoughts about him to Him. haha. got to see friends and chatted alot too. and haha it was my first time in Omega group. (shows how long i haven't been to ca's...almost like forever.)kekeke... xD
what i wanna say here is that, God is just so amazing. all the testimonies i heard today really blessed me. i've still got tons and tons of things to learn about God, but He's really great. He never fails to captivate me time and again each time i begin to stumble or stray away from Him..
Lord, you're such an awesome God and friend to me. :)
In Your Freedom.
I bow to you in my brokenness
No other king could have so humbly come
To save my soul and heal my heart
I have nothing more than all you offer me
There is nothing that else that’s of worth to me
I love you Lord, You rescued me
You are all that I want, You’re all I need
I pray to You, God of peace
I rest in You, my cares released
In Your freedom I will live, in Your freedom I will live
I offer devotion, I offer devotion
yew.
i couldn't stop thinking of him the whole yesterday; my thoughts were practically completely booked by him. xD
where are you, where are you?
even when i got ready for tug of war, my eyes searched for him. when i held the rope, my eyes was still searching for him.
sounds haha cheesy, but that was what really happened.
my friend told me once, that your dreams in your sleep, is either what you fear to happen most, or what you desire most.
........and.....i dreamt of him the whole night. (details of my dream will not be revealed here for privacy purpose) :p
the question is,
was it what i fear or desire most?
andrea, you gotto keep your head empty!
keep it empty, keep your head empty, keep your head empty! haha. xD

tug of war!
tug of war, was no doubt the hottest topic of the day.
i did some errands during the last period of school until 1.45pm? somewhere around there. and boy, i dread getting signatures of approval from certain teachers! i got pushed around like mad!
"i'll be back in a minute.."
yeah rightt. i waited for around 5 minutes and ran some other errands for other teachers in the meantime, and still she did not appear. i got a lil fed up of waiting, knowing i'm not so much of a cough cough, patient person, so i asked my way around and ended up seeing her in bilik guru, chit-chatting with other teachers. excuse me, i've been running around for an hour to get whatever approval you need before you sign, and you're here chatting?! uhh, the anger. thank God she finally gave me her signature after a million years of waiting.
after that, i went for a video and photo session to film my "5 seconds of fame" video, taken by kj. lol. had to think up of our very own pose and yeah, i did a lame one - buttoning up my blazer. gosh, i'm so creative, i can be a creative director next time! sarcastically of course. haha. had real lots of fun anyways. kekeke.
2.30pm. i realised my white pe shirt is a lil too transparent for my own good. umm, not gonna elaborate here bout it, but yeah, in short its transparent. very, very. haha. so i called my mum to bring my green shirt to school. after eating my lunch, i thanked my mum for bringing my clothes and headed off to the tug of war competition. running competition started off first though. cheered for them, walked around, blabbered to weng wah and sze huey about how green house girls gonna lose and all. and soon, it was time for tug of war.
they started off with the guys first....fortunately. i was talking to this girl from green house at that time, and she did not know whether her name is inside the list for this event....she wanted to join, and thought it was a open event. i panicked, cause she was the biggest sized girl there at the pavilion. if she isn't in, we'll have a great time losing, i thought to myself. i quickly asked eu jin and he said that the judges don't really mind, as long as you have enough members to pull. right then, i thought of ru jun and dashed off in search of her to pull since the rules changed, or in this case, is lenient. found her in zone 2 meeting and got her out from there to change.
went back to the pavilion, and found the green house guys starting their game, fighting to get into the finals. (blue house guys lost to red house guys while i was away with ru jun.)
they lost the first round. shucks, was the first word that came to my mind. they exchanged places with yellow house for the second round. i had the sudden urge and vibe, therefore resulting to my scream, "RUMAH HIJAU!"
.........and i was the only one who shouted at that time. paiseh giler. nevertheless, they lost again. so they were officially out of finals...and had to fight to get the 3rd place with the other losing team, which happens to be blue house.
in the meantime, the whistle was blown.
"peserta tarik tali perempuan sila ke hadapan.." (all tug of war female contestants please come forward.)
SHUCKS! haha. i was so prepared to lose.. and so happened that we had more than 10 contestants (some who did not register their name came along too.) it's a good thing, cause some of them are big sized and yeah. so i asked eu jin to pick 10 of us, and i was chosen..ru jun was not though.
sat at the field along with the other contestants and scanned around. yellow house girls were humongous! they practically had the top 5 biggest girls in our whole school in! .........and we prayed hard not to get them first. i bet blue and red house girls were praying hard too. haha.
they did a lucky draw, and thank God once again, that blue house was to be against yellow house! such a relief...seriously. they started off first, and duh..yellow won.
at that moment, we couldn't deny..that,......it was time.
us against the red.
got up and we gave words of encouragement to each other. did some cheer and got ourselves ready. everyone was in position; this basketball player right in front, thuvija the second, and i was after jun lin, somewhere in the middle, and another basketball player was behind me along with 2 other girls. held the rope and i dug some holes with my feet for better stand.
everyone was ready.
while waiting for the whistle to blow, my heart went, dub dub dub, dub dub dub dub, dub dub dub dub dub. yeap, faster and faster.. wye mun cheered for me, and i roared in response, as a form of semangat. haha. yes, i know its very unlady-like but aiya, who cares! xD
and the whistle was blown.
"TARIKKK!!!! PULLL!!!"
all i could hear were noisy muffled words. couldnt hear what everyone was cheering or saying.
keep pulling...keep pulling.. 1, 2, pull! stand on your ground. bend your knees and body behind for lower gravitational center. keep pulling....1, 2, pull! keep pulling, andrea.
that was what i recalled thinking of.
"pittttttttttttttttttt!!"
WE WON THE FIRST ROUND! WOOOHOOO!
we then exchanged places with red, and dug holes again.
siew called me while standing at the side, i turned to look, and he said, "andrea...dont like this la..give chance to us(red house)" sorry siew, friends are friends, tug of war is tug of war. haha. afterall, red house is leading overall right now. paul, on the other hand was there too, cheering green house girls on.
we took hold of the rope once again, and waited for the whistle to blow.
"pittttttttttttttt!!"
Mr. Herman blew!
again, muffled voices were heard.. and we were.........losing it. we took a step forward...which clearly meant - closer to losing.
i dug my leg inside the hole and my toes coiled in response to being pulled.
hang in there everyone... and i guess we were thinking the same at that point of time. we started the 1,2 pull thing.
we gained a few steps back. good, keep going, keep going. keep pulling at the count of 1,2.
"PITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!"
and we.......OFFICIALLY GOT INTO THE FINALS! WE WON BABEH! HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHHA! :DDD
we jumped and hugged and cheered and yeah. we were so bubbly and hyper after that! haha. such is the enthusiasm portrayed.. hehe.
anyways, we had great fun today! and i've got a medal secured! HURRAY! (the guys got 4th place though..) and as you guys know, its my last year in school so its a big thing for me! memories such as these are priceless. imagine me telling my children about my high school life next time, so fun so fun! :DDDD
the finals will be on sports day itself.....and i am able to foresee us losing to the yellow. guess most probably we'll get silver medal. well, its still a medal! rightright?! :D hehehe.
all in all, praise God for everything and for His grace that kept me going! thank You, Lord! (:
it's 2.23am now; andrea's off to sleep! :)

lala-ness.
how lala / jinjang can you all get? uhh, i wonder....
frankly, their lala-ness does not tick me off. it's their muka tembok-ness that ticks me off! i mean, hey, ITS LALA. and they can still think it's oh-so-fashionable and strut their stuff. eeekk. geli-ness!
now now, being a prefect rocks so hard weh. having the opportunity to ask those girls to pin their hair up is just my joy and pleasure. i'm downright serious! their lala sense of fashion disgusts me out to the maximum. thank God my close friends aren't like that. haha. but i do admit that there are some girls who looks good with their bangs down.
i recalled a few years back, when bell bottoms were in fashion. gosh, THE OOOGGLLINESS!!!! X 100000000 that was one of the worst fashion scenarios ever in our school. guys were practically wearing TIGHT bell bottoms, showing off their "toned" legs and how "sexy" it is......so gross. makes me wanna puke just by the mere thought of it. thank God those days are over and done with.
i just really wish that our KEPONG BARU school can just be a little bit more civilized. just a little more will do. its my last year here anyways, so perhaps i'll close one eye and walk away from those lala people? haha. wish me best of luck in that.
ps. sorry if i offended anyone...but an overdose of lala-ness is just such a turn off.
so seafood; so lala; so jinjang (no offense to those from jinjang..)
