Hello to all readers out there! Sorry not updating from a day-to-day basis. Seriously, it’s only been about a week since I’ve been in IB and the workload is just overwhelming already! I can’t imagine how it would be like as the week’s come. I’m actually feeling pretty sick just now – I just woke up from my nap and I’m still feeling a bit dizzy. Sorry, I got a bit side-tracked; my Dad just arrived from KK – YAYE!
Anyway, like I was saying – the workload is terrible! I have homework in every subject (I have 6 subjects in total) plus my CAS Diary work...
So that’s it for my short post because I really have to get a head on start with work. Plus, I’m really looking forward to the long weekend – I do hope they spot the moon on Sunday night so that Monday would be a public holiday as it would be the start of Ramadhan (spelling?).

Today is another day and man was it... How should I say – exhausting? It’s called Temburong afterlife I guess. Anyway I started off the week with French B and it was alright I guess – everyone wasn’t that enthusiastic since we were mostly learning about the IB learner profile... In French! So not the drama! French went by in a flash and before you know it, English went by really quickly too. We already have to do a presentation for English for a poem that we chose in groups of two – Tharindu was my partner. English went by in a flash and next lesson was Art. Art too went by in a flash and we were even let out 15 minutes earlier than when the period was supposed to end – gosh Mr. Peacock! He even told us to tell the other teachers that we were let out to do research if we had been caught! Lunch break came and while I was having lunch, Tharindu was rambling on telling me to hurry up so that we could get a head start on our English presentation. I was like what the fuck towards him and telling him that we still have a lot of time seeing as our presentation is not until Tuesday next week! Gosh he’s so funny – in the end we did try and do some research in the ICT Lab. After lunch break we had Maths – YAY I have Ms. Then again as my maths teacher! We were issued new textbooks and before we knew it, maths went by really quickly too and the day was over! I’m only guessing that the day went by fast because the lessons weren’t really that formal yet as it really is only our first day into formal lessons. When I got into the car, I told my mom that I couldn’t finish my lunch, and so she asked me why. I replied, “I don’t know, maybe it’s because I’m so used to just having buns...” LOL, hilarious but obviously if you had read my previous post about Temburong life, you would know exactly how I feel... And that is it with the day in the life with Allison Geronimo!!!
Oh and one more thing to add – remember how I said in my previous post under the first five things I did when I got home? Well I wasn’t expecting it to happen again today but my Mom made it her obligation to feed me good food again – 2226111 PIZZA HUT Delivery!

OH MY FRICKING GOSH!
I can’t believe I’ve actually made it home all in one piece with no broken bones or cuts and bruises. Praise the Lord for he brought me home safely. Okay, for those who have no idea about what I am talking about – I just came back from a 3-day weekend camping trip in Temburong. It was a programme set up by Outward Bound Brunei Darussalam (OBBD) for people of all ages – I guess...
First 5 things I did when I got home:
Okay, so I’m going to be blogging about the 3 day trip from my point of view and bear with me for I’m only trying to remember everything from the top of my head. I was going to write it in my notebook that I had brought along with me – unfortunately I couldn’t find the time to even spare just five minutes to write. So here it goes...
Day 1 – Friday, August 22nd 2008
My Dad came back to
I woke up to the blistering sound of my alarm clock at around 5:30am all pumped up and excited about my weekend in Temburong. I had my morning breakfast after my morning shower and I was off to the jetty by Kampong Ayer. I met up with my friends as we all waited for the rest of the campers to arrive. There were about 38 of us in total excluding teachers – Mr. Toomer, Ms. Hancox, Mr. Klein and Ms. Tracy. I think there were about 10 or less than 10 other students who didn’t join in our expedition but still had to do something else, which was helping out with this thing called ‘Special Olympics.’ It’s about helping the disabled in
After the getting to know each other exercise, we had a short check-up at the medical centre that was followed on by a short talk from the medics about safety regulations. We had a quick but mediocre lunch after which we were all issued items from the storage room – items such as a camping rucksack, ponchos, water bottles, white-water helmets, etc. We had no idea what was going on so we just packed our rucksacks thinking that we were somewhat going to be camping out that night. It was nerve-wrecking since we hadn’t the slightest clue where our instructor was not nor were we told what to do. We were then able to settle into our cabins (like put all our belongings there). Our cabins were across the Outward Bound Centre and the only way to get there was to walk over a suspension bridge. When I crossed through it for the first time I was pretty scared since during the talk about safety regulations it drizzled a bit which made the wood surface of the bridge a bit slippery.
After putting all our stuff back into the cabins we got a head on to start our planned activities the Centre had for us. The first activity that we started off with was the pitching tent exercise. We had to know how to pitch a tent seeing as the next day we were to camp outdoors. It took us about 10 minutes to pitch one tent up which was, according to our instructor, not so good because there were 14 of us so it should’ve been quicker. After pitching up the tent we had to take it down as well – trust me, it took less minutes to do than pitching it up.
After that activity, we headed on to do the flying fox and I must say that even though I’ve already been on it twice (like way back in Year 6) I was still freaking scared when I went down it – actually it was the anxiety of waiting to jump off. I screamed my head off for like the first 8 seconds and when I was halfway through, I just talked to myself saying ‘oh my god, oh my god, oh my god’ repeatedly. When we all got through the flying fox, we did an activity called the ‘trust game’ where the other group members held out a mat and you had to jump of from something high and trust that your team mates will catch you when you fall. It was scary yet awesome. To be honest, we as a group wasted a lot of time getting ready for the next activity and so because of that we didn’t get to do the white water confidence exercise like the other two groups did. But because it is a must, we were told by our instructor that we would do it the next day with dire consequences – late lunch. To me, that wasn’t much of a ‘dire’ consequence. Anyway so I think us girls hung out at the cabin for a while until dinner time which was at around 7pm. After dinner we headed back onto the third floor to do another exercise and that was ‘what animal represents you.’ I hadn’t the slightest clue about which animal represented me so I just chose a fish, and since we had to report back about why we chose that particular animal, I just said ‘because I like to swim and obviously fishes swim...’ After that, our instructor told us how to read a map and get directions from a compass. This was because, even though our instructor was coming with us on the trek, he’s somewhat invisible to our group and only visible when there’s an injury at steak. He told us that if we’re lost, he isn’t going to tell us that we’re lost and as a group we’re gonna have to overcome that problem and trust those that are leading the way. After all the talk, we had a question and answer session to mentally and physically prepare us for the trek and outdoor camping.
By the time it was over, it was 10pm and supper was served. After supper, Nisa and I rushed towards the toilets to take a nice cool shower after a long hot and sweaty day. And plus, the showers were pretty empty since the other girls bathed already after their water activity. After our shower – the WORST ever thing happened to us that had me shout swear words out loud not even caring what the teachers would say. It was painful and it had me in tears. I was like saying ‘FUCK’ repeatedly as I hosed down my feet with cold water. I know, you’re probably thinking I wonder what could’ve possibly made Ally swear and cry and the same time. After Nisa and I had our shower, we walked back to our cabins – since it was dark, we couldn’t really see where we were stepping, but we could see the cabin in front of us. Because we could see where we were going, Nisa and I trampled on an ant hill and instant pain from the ant bites caused us to curse and swear as we cried. Fucking shit it was horrible and painful! After Nisa and I calmed down a bit about the whole incident, we started to pack our rucksacks ready for the next day. By then we all went to bed by 12 midnight. Oh yes – and have I mentioned that the toilets are freakishly crappy and so were the cabins? I mean there were no beds nor were there any mattresses. We had to use the sleeping bags they had issued for us to use and there weren’t even any pillows so I used my backpack instead. It was so un-cool – neck pain and stuff... And that was it for Day 1.
Day 2 – Saturday, 23rd August 2008
HAPPY 14th BIRTHDAY to my Sister Angela!
All was well when suddenly there was a fire alarm drill at 5 in the morning! At first I thought it was someone’s alarm seeing as we had to be up before 6am that day. For some reason, when I heard it, I only heard ‘Alarm’ and strangely enough, I looked at Ann Lee – don’t ask me why because I seriously have no idea! Then it only came to me that it was a fire drill when Yesmean jumped out of bed and started screaming ‘life jackets! Life jackets!’ It was hilarious though I was pretty dizzy when I jumped out of bed! All the girls managed to get out and to the assembly area as we stood for almost 5 minutes just waiting for the guys to come out of their cabin and because the guys hadn’t come out from the cabins, the guys at the camp said, “fire, Fire, FIRE!” The first two guys slowly paced themselves down the stairs without their life jackets. So we all yelled at them to get their life jackets as they ran back telling the other guys (who were just getting out of their beds) to get their life jackets. Surprisingly after 15 minutes all the guys arrived at the assembly point and it’s not that the guys from the camp were mad at the guys, they just said that whenever there is a fire or flood alarm we should be able to gather at the assembly points in 2 – 3 minutes. Somewhere earlier on in the morning, I talked to some of the guys about what happened during the fire alarm drill and I got all sorts of responses. Some said that they didn’t hear the alarm while others admit to hearing the alarm but couldn’t be bothered to get up because they knew it was just a drill. Sheng told me that when the guy repeated the alarm again, Adam got up, turned on the lights and pulled everyone out of bed as he shouted out, “GUYS FIRE!” Mr. Klein told me that he thought the guys were say “Hola! Hola! Hola!” And he told me he was totally confused about why the guys were greeting everyone in Spanish. It was fricking hilarious to know all sorts of things that were going on in the boy’s cabin that morning. Anyway, to get back on track, since we were already up by the fire drill, we headed back into our cabins to get ready and bring our bags over the suspension bridge to the OBBD Camp Site and ready for the flag raising ceremony at 6am. While the flag raising was going on we had to sing the Brunei National Anthem – which I had no clue how to so I just stood there smiling, LOL.
After the flag raising ceremony, we got back into our groups and did a bit of stretching before heading off for our morning run. I started off alright but then I got tired after a few hundred metres because it was non-stop running. So I walked, then ran, walked, then ran until eventually I was like almost probably just under a 500 metres away from the rest of the group. I wasn’t the only one let behind though, because Jeff too was about 500 metres behind me... What can I say? I’m not THAT fit. At least I managed to catch up with the group when we walked back to the OBBD Camp Site. After our hour of morning run, we got ready to do the white water confidence exercise that the other groups did yesterday. It was awesome and refreshing at the same time because the water was nice and cold.
After the white water confidence exercise we had our late breakfast and started to finalise our packing before heading onto the longboat to
Out of the blue, the other three tents started to talk once again – Ann was even singing. Siobhan, Sita and I were still asleep or half asleep for we were kind of woken up by the chattering and singing from Ann. At one point Yesmean yelled out for the time, and since I was time keeper, I got up and looked the watch with Sita’s flash light. Of course, blinded by the bright light, I could see, so Siobhan helped. To her surprise, she yelled out, “Guys! It’s only 12:35am!!” And on a high pitched tone, I heard Azim yell out, “WHAT? ONLY!?” Even the other groups were surprised – they all thought it was 5 in the morning and they were all happy to know that we’ll be trekking back to the OBBD Camp Site. It was hilarious I tell you – I mean, even I kept on repeating this story to the other groups and teachers and they would always laugh! It’s was way beyond FUNNY! Anyway after a few minutes everything was quiet again – the other groups had apparently fallen asleep again...
Day 3 – Sunday, 24th August 2008
Dad off to Philippines
We were woken up to the beckoning of Rais’ mocked fire drill from the other night at 4am. Rais was like “fire, Fire, FIRE!” Hilarious – like I mean seriously, it’s not funny to those who weren’t there to ‘experience’ it. I mean it’s so funny that it’s not even funny anymore when it’s overused – you know, an overused joke doesn’t appear to be funny anymore? Whatever... Anyway, back on track, we had buns for breakfast and when the sun raised we started to pitch our tents down. Rais once again was rambling on about how they had ants in their tents and that Azim squeezed himself closer to him and Jeff and apparently managed to sleep on half a tent – so it was like fitting 3 guys in a 2-man tent. Rais said that Azim was literally on top of him – it was fricking hilarious to hear about it! Oh yes – I’ll tell you this now, during our prep talk the night before we went trekking, our instructor showed us how to dig a shit hole – you know, a place to take a dump while in the jungle. Okay, so the guys were supposed to dig a shit hole (looks at Rais), but they never did. Plus I’m never comfortable to take a piss or dump in the jungle, so, like what everyone else did, we kept our pee in until we would reach the OBBD Camp. I was crossing my legs the whole night so that I wouldn’t feel like peeing and what’s worse was that I actually kept my pee in my bladder for over more than 24-hours. I know it’s not good, but I had no other choice and plus I felt so bloated. I had no choice because there was only to be one shit hole for the whole group – disgusting I tell you, I mean, just the thought of it creeps me out! *barfs* Anyway, we were able to get back on the track by 7:30am and man was in overly dangerous. Because it had rained for the whole night, the tracks were VERY slippery and the mud was terrible. My shoe sunk into a mud pile and my shoe nearly came off. The track especially near to the OBBD Camp Site was terrible for it was like rock climbing but without the ropes. You had to grab either on the vines or someone’s hand. If not, one slip and you’re dead – like seriously. I’m not kidding! If you had slipped, it was a highway to death for you were literally about 5 metres high above the river and if you had fell, you wouldn’t have splashed into the river, but on the river bed of stones. By 8:30am we had made it back to the OBBD Camp Site and were overwhelmed with joy that we all, as a team, made it back in one piece. I mean, I so totally thought I wasn’t going to make it out of the jungle after my serious meltdown during the trek yesterday, but I just kept on praying to God to protect me and of course my team mates and guide us back to the OBBD Camp Site safely. I love you God. But when we arrived at the
By 10:00am, the other two groups had arrived to the OBBD Camp Site on kayaks. They had kayaked from where our group originally started our trek which was at
We got changed back into our navy-blue IB CAS shirts and had our late lunch. After late lunch we cleaned up the rest of our equipment to find out that we had lost a few of the items that we were issued – 1 water bottle, 1 waterproof tent cover and 2 waterproof bags which apparently cost the whole group $137. But it wasn’t that bad as the WHOLE group had to pay because it was a group responsibility thing, and so we only ended up paying $10 each since there was 14 of us – they even earned an extra $3 out of us. While we were trying to sort out our lost items, it started to rain miserably again. Before we headed on back to Bandar, we filled out an evaluation sheet about the whole trip and there was one question in particular that I wanted to point out because it made me laugh when I heard Siobhan say it. The question was, would you recommend this programme to friends, family and relatives? Siobhan: Yes. Why? Siobhan: Because I want them to suffer like I did... LOL. After that we got onto the bus at about 4:00ish as we said our thank yous and goodbyes to the Outward Bound guys who helped us throughout the programme. By quarter to 5 we reached the jetty and we were all drenched while we waited to collect our bags from the truck. Lucky for me my bags were just near the end of the truck and so I got Mr. Klein to just hand them to me and I ran off into the shade out from the rain. I felt so sorry for those who had their bags all the way at the front of the truck and had to wait in the rain for everyone else to collect their before they could even get to theirs. After everyone was able to collect their bags, we boarded the boat that took us back to Kampong Ayer, Bandar. On the boat, Tharindu, Amirah, Hui Yen and I couldn’t stop laughing about the funny moments we had during the trip and stuff and we literally kept most of the people awake on the boat for those we were sleeping from out belts and snorts. By 5:30pm we reached the jetty at Kampong Ayer and it was HOME SWEET HOME. The first five things I did when I got home have been mentioned above and I was oh-so glad to have a nice soft bed to sleep on for the past 2 nights I’ve had a hard wood surface and a backpack as a pillow and on the second night a uneven surface and my wet clothes in a plastic bag as my pillow – total and complete grossness!

Dear Online Journal,
LOL, forgive me – it’s just that with so many IB things going on today, I just felt like starting off with ‘dear online journal’ in relation to CAS Blogs that Mrs. Canterford was talking about today in school. B.T.W. I’m not so sure yet on whether I should make one of those handwritten diaries or a blog – I’m gonna have to sort that out later though I much prefer a handwritten one so I can go all crazy with how artistic I can be on it ;) if that even made any sense at all to you readers out there...
Anyway, today is yet another day of Inductions at school – boring yet I think it’s absolutely useful to get a kick start to IB since we’re only going to be formally starting classes on Monday. PS: I am so not looking forward to that day – like totally! It’s practically gonna be THEE start to IB life. We spent like almost the whole school day trapped inside the library with all the talks and what not a better way to end the day with Russell Peter’s new DVD Outsourced between our form and of course Mr. Klein. Awesomeness I tell you – laughter to end the day!
Tomorrow is our Temburong CAS Trip and I’m sotra, kinda like partially excited... Who knows – maybe during the course of the trip I’ll find it even more EXCITING, that is, once we hit the activities and stuff. I’m actually praying for something not to happen while I’m there – it’d be such a kill joy! And seeing as I will be in Temburong for the next 3 days and 2 nights; I won’t be blogging until I do get home safe and sound :).
Oh yes, one more thing before I wrap up today’s post – I got my ICT Results today and I was so eff-ing shocked when I saw the A* written on the piece of paper! Congrats me! I’ve just messaged my Dad about this and hopefully (fingers crossed), I’ll be able to convince him to get me a Pink Vaio Laptop with the Lizard Skin as my reward for a job well done in my IGCSE Exams... ^_^

BLEH! I’m finally back at home after the first day of IB.
It’s seriously such a blur – so much stuff to remember. Ugh, and the stupid dress codes.
I have Mr. Klein as my form tutor! WOOT! WOOT!
There’s like only 8 people in my class – 4 guys and 4 girls and I somehow managed to wind up with Rais in my class along with Sheng and Hazim. There’s a new guy in my class too from DC, his name is John. And then there’s a new girl Diana from SAS – and the oldies (like me), Ardyn and Brittany.
Today nothing much happened except Inductions like Welcoming into IB and Outward Bound stuff. Tomorrow will be a whole day of Inductions as well – oh joy. Anyway, I might as well just leave some pictures from the day. Formal classes will start on Monday when we’re back from Temburong...
Gangsters – like NOT.
Mr. Klein!
Hazim, Sheng and Rais – Class Clowns
Me & Brit!
HAHA – Oh my God, I just remembered the talk Ann Lau, Andrew and I had yesterday. It was SO hilarious! Well – it won’t be THAT hilarious to you readers out there... Because I don’t know, probably because it’s an ‘inside’ joke.
Andrew: Hey Ann! Why you do IB?
Ann: ALLISON I DON’T KNOW HOW TO ANSWER!
Allison: Uh... Because I want to?
LOL – see it’s not funny to you right?

Anyway, I should really stop blabbering about school starting tomorrow... It would only make me more depressed to know that tonight I’ll be heading off to bed early and waking up at the crack of dawn to the ring of my alarm clock – oh joy. No more ‘10 more minutes’ for me... How sad.
To end such a tragic post, I would just like to say...
HAPPY 8TH BIRTHDAY COUSIN KIERAN!!
Hope you have a nice one too on this very special day just for you!

FINALLY RESULTS ARE OUT!
Been waiting for so long, but then it’s not the final/official certificates yet...
At least I know what I got for each subject! And no I’m not gonna say what I got here on Blogger. If you want to know, you’re gonna have to ask me personally ;).
I messaged my Dad immediately after obtaining my results, and this is his message back to me: "Ok good dog, so u need reward for that? Haha utang first daddy broke ehh wala pera. See yah on friday 5pm pick me up." Too bad I won't be there to pick him up - I'll be in Temburong by then ;).
After I got my results, I went to go see Nabilah off at the airport along with others.
NABILAH! I’M SO GONNA MISS YOU!!!
I LOVE YOU MY BOOB-PRESSING BUDDY!!Camp Rock buds :P.

Okay, since I was tagged by Brittany and Casey I might as well play the game.
But don’t be scared of me – I don’t think I’ll be tagging anyone out there…
Let’s see how many of the 15 things you DO/DON’T KNOW about ME!
(Caution: Highly Contagious – NOT!)
RULES
1. Each player of this game starts off with 15 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself.
2. People who get tagged need to write a post of their own 15 weird things/habits/little known facts as well as state this rule clearly.
3. At the end, you need to choose 10 people to be tagged and list their names.
4. No tags back!!
15 weird things/habits/little known facts about ME:
1. I’d date ANYONE who’s an exact replica of DAVID ARCHULETA♥ (And if it’s damn-right possible, I’d date DAVID himself!)
2. If you open my closet, you can clearly see that I sort my clothes by colour.
3. I’m such a cam-whore (no surprise there)
4. Even though I have this MAJOR crush on David Archuleta♥ – I tingle and squeal when it’s JOE JONAS♥
5. I have a little sister named April (born March 19, 1998) but she passed before birth.
6. One of my favourite cartoons to watch on Disney Channel is Phineas and Ferb XD.
7. I have this really bad habit of starting things and quitting in the end.
8. I don’t care if I’m in the cinema, but when it’s a tear-jerker flick I WILL cry…
9. I try hard not to be plastic – in other words, if I don’t like you, I don’t like you. I won’t pretend to like you…
10. I can only watch horror flicks in the cinema or at home during the afternoon. It scares the shit out of me if I watch it at home during the night.
11. I have an elder step-sister named Jasmin and she lives in
12. I have this habit of randomly entering the kitchen, opening all three doors to my fridge, randomly stare at whatever’s inside and then close the fridge door and walk out – like for real.
13. I actually do wish that my boobs were bigger (just so their actually in proportion to my body – they’re tiny!)
14. When I laugh-out-loud… I really LAUGH-OUT-LOUD – and trust me, I find inside jokes between best buds better that jokes that the whole world knows.
FINALLY – damn my head is sore from thinking all 15 things up, so the last one should be good…
15. I fart and burp really LOUD (when I’m at home that is – because I don’t give a shit)

Hallelujah Praise the Lord!
Nabilah isn’t leaving today! – Which means we still have just an extra two days to hang out with her before we send her off to
Today David Archuleta♥ is in
Isn’t this such a smexy picture of David? Well I think so ;).
What else is there to say? Oh yes, my Mom called up the school yesterday and scolded them because they promised us that we could obtain our results yesterday, but they didn’t have them. My mom thinks that the school does indeed already have our results but they just don’t want to give them out until the last minute. Why? Because I know that some of us out there NEED our results to get accepted into another school – and let’s face it… ISB doesn’t want us to move to another school because of $$$. Sucks doesn’t it? Oh well, let’s keep our fingers crossed that we WILL get them by Monday…
You want more?
Well we had ritual Summer Barbeque night on Thursday – it’s a family thing.
Before I leave…
HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY JOE JONAS♥!!

I’m so not enjoying this...
It’s because school starts in less than a week (six days to be exact) and results are sure to be coming out tomorrow! I’m so frickin’ scared – to be honest, I wasn’t actually THAT freaked out when I knew about results were just days away from coming out. Come to think of it... I’ll be needing to buy new stationary for IB! LOL...
Anyway, so yeah nothing exciting has been going on since my last post and nothing is going on at the moment. I just wanted to say that finally our living room has been repainted and is now purple! It was actually already finished on Sunday and so I’ll post pictures of it soon. Also, my room had a make over too – just moved around some furniture and painted the walls Raspberry Pink!!

Yesterday – as mention in yesterday’s post, we had dinner at Thiam Hock for my Ate Joy-Joy’s 23rd Birthday celebration. Also, right after I posted yesterday’s post, it started to rain vigorously here and so I went out of the house on the street with my cousin for a nice refreshing bathe in the rain. LOL – well it was hot most of the morning and part of the afternoon so I see no reason as to why I should cool off in the rain...
OMG my heart was like beating so fast when I got an email from Edexcel. I actually thought results have been posted online... But, it was just a notification to say that I will be able to access my Edexcel results on Thursday 21st August 2008 from 06:00AM GMT. So does that mean that I can only get my IGCSE ICT Results on that day? Now I’m totally freaked out...

Hey to all readers out there (if there are any for that matter of fact), sorry for not updating for the past two days – I was, how do you say, lazy? Yes, lazy and I wasn’t really up for posting a post because I didn’t really have anything to say except for a few small details. Anyhoo, I’ll mention them now and sorry to those for a late greeting.

ps: I’m still oh-so hooked onto CRUSH. Love love it so much!
Moving on to yesterday – Yesterday I went out with some friends to spend the day out at the Mall. I met up with them at Pizza Hut after which we went to book tickets to go see Mummy 3. To those who haven’t watched it – DON’T. Just buy the DVD or something if you wanna watch; it’s not worth going to the cinema to watch it. It was horrible! – well for me that is. Well before the movie we went to iTop and tried on some clothes at Bingo – I had my sort of chaos and my lovelies, a.k.a Amirah, Hui Yen, Nabilah & Valerie would’ve known what happened that time ;). After that we watched the movie and after the movie had some eats down at Swensens. We then did some window shopping at Bodyshop when we suddenly ran out the shop like a bunch of obsessed fans when we spotted Gyver. Seriously, we were like obsessed fans – hugging him, talking to him, asking for his phone number, taking pictures with him… LOL, but we didn’t get his autograph for some reason. After the small reunion, Amirah and Hui Yen left leaving Naby, Val and I to shop at Charles & Keith. Well, Naby and I were being cam whores while Val showed us the lovely pair of shoes that she bought! So jealous right now – if only I had the same size feet as her then I could borrow it of her HAHA! After that we sent Nabilah off to her car and then I stayed at Centerpoint with Val talking about – ahem, yes Val talking about you-know-who HAHA. Then my Mom came, so end of outing. Pictures have been posted up on Facebook from the day if anyone wants to have a look-see.
Today? Well, I’ll be stay home for… OH MY GOD! HAHA. Jonas Brothers on Hitz.tv right now! Sorry – I ♥ JOE JONAS!! ♪When you look me in the eyes, tell me that you love me, and everything’s alright, when you’re right here by my side… When you look me in the eye, I catch a glimpse of heaven, I find, my paradise, when you look me in the eyes…♫ HAHA. Nabilah – can’t wait for
Anyway, before the Jonas Brothers popped out on the television with “When you look me in the Eyes,” I was just about to say that I’ll be staying home for the whole morning and half of the afternoon doing whatever could keep me out of boredom until I head on over to Mabohai for my swimming lesson. And on a last note, tonight I’ll (most likely) be sitting in front of the TV watching the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. HAHA – this is so funny, but I remember watching the news yesterday on CNN about how there have been so many rules for the locals to follow during the Olympics: “Taxi drivers must slow down on garlic as it causes bad breath – Never ask foreigners their age, income and love life as it may come to an offense to them – Don’t shake hands for more than 3 seconds – Women with thick legs should cover up with black stockings to hide their imperfection…” Trust me, there are many more.
While on the topic of CNN news, yesterday I remember also watching Paris Hilton sending in a video which can be found on http://www.funnyordie.com where she campaigned for her candidacy to run for President of USA. It’s hilarious I tell you – she kept on referring to McCain as ‘White hair Dude’ and at the end of the video she was like, “Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go pick out a vice president – I’m thinking Rihanna.”
Long post, anyway… to end, we’re getting our living room walls painted purple!
toodles♥!

Tuesday 5th August 2008
Yes – it is yet another one of those days at home with nothing but the computer, TV and myself to keep out of boredom. Ten more days to results and fifteen more days to school – it seems as though Summer went by in a flash but maybe it’s because of how I deprive of a vacation. If I could, I would spend the next two weeks soaking up the sun in lovely
Anyway, if this were today, last year’s entry I’d be telling you guys that I’m on my way to
toodles♥!
ps: before I slept last night, I kept singing in my head David Archuleta’s new hit single and guess what? When I woke up this morning, that was the very first thing I did too – sing his song! :D.

Hey, this is going to be a short post but nevertheless:
Happy 1st Birthday to my cousin Joshua!
He’s the little baby that my Aunt Shea is holding in her arms :D.
Yes, I was able to see him a day after his birth.
Today is also my Aunt Jen’s Birthday! (Aunt from
Sorry Auntie Jen; I forgot how old you are :S
Anyway, that’s all I have up my sleeve for today, and I’ve also just been notified that IGCSE Results aren’t coming out on the 10th (what a sigh for relief), but instead will be out on the 15th – I don’t see much of a difference in the change of date by at least I can delay my worrying...
Today and tomorrow David Archuleta♥ will be in
I am on the verge of memorising his lyrics to “Crush-” AMG I LOVE THE SONG!

David Archuleta Crush Released
[quote] David Archuleta is excited and nervous about his brand new single on the radio today. The “American Idol” runner up was reportedly shaking when his song “Crush” hit the airwaves for the first time. Video camera in the radio station recorded the reactions from him and young fans as the single played. [/quote]
I ♥ DAVID ARCHULETA!!!

It’s the first day of August – whooooooo!~
Okay, maybe not so ‘whoooo!’ seeing as there’s like 9 more days before IGCSE Results are out and like only 19 more days to SCHOOL! I’m so not ready for any of this, though I’ve said it many times; I’m looking forward to our Outward bound Temburong trip for IB CAS.
Anyway today went differently – and when I say differently, I mean getting up earlier that usual and not lolling around in front of the TV and computer. Today my sister’s and I joined the Bodyshop’s ‘Make Me Over’ session from 10 – 11AM. I leave you with pictures from the day...
Today is also Aunt Shea’s 30th Birthday! (My Aunt from
And also, Happy 5th Birthday to my niece Annabelle!
