Jokes... from everywhere?

One of these days I'd probably give you a tour of my room via photos. Oh and post the overdue photos of Miri.

But camera's in my room upstairs. So... far... so lazy to get. HAHA.

Okay, on with the random jokes from everywhere. In my life la, dumbo.

Lol.

Yesterday, we were playing this memory snap game. Me, Muz, Kok, Ak, Emm and Khang. So we were supposed to make up names for ourselves. And if we open the same cards, then we have to yell out the oth person's name first before our name gets yelled out. So Kok and Muz being the perverted ppl they are :P gave themselves the names of (due to younger readers reading this lol it shall be thus censored) P* and V*. If you're smart and dirty minded you'd get it la.
Anyway, both me and Muz opened the same cards, and he was laughing so hard he couldn't say my name so I yelled out: V* instead.
The entire class turned to stare at me.
Needless to say Khang was the one who laughed the longest, the loudest and the hardest.
The rest of the table collapsed into laughter.

And Jas, we'd just keep our little joke between me and you. Okay? YOU know what I'm talking about. ;)

And yes, we have the ever blur Kim asking me...
Kim: Siaw Hui, is Gawaii over yet?
Me: WHAT?!

And Khang who is so obssessed with the Big Boss mug we bought for Gerald Lee...
Khang: (holds up the mug and wails pathetically) Why no one give me this leee?
Me: Coz you don't deserve it.
Khang: But...
Ak: Just coz you're class monitor doesn't mean you're the boss of us.
Khang: But...
Me: AIYAH NEVER SEE MUG ISSIT?
Ak: GO AWAY LA!
Poor Khang.

Oh. Khang is also obssessed with ribbons and curls. He made this bow for himself to wear. It's bright purple and he looks RIDICULOUS with it around his neck. And he calls himself the dealer of the UNO cards when he wears it.

He made some really long and dangling curls using the same bright purple ribbons and turning to me...
Khang: (holds the curls from his ears so it looks like earrings) Look Siaw Hui! I'm Elton John!
Me: ...

Once when poor Jas was trying to finish her EST and I was sitting right in front of her...
Khang: Eh, Siaw Hui is it you finish already?
Me: (annoyed because I'm trying to read book) Yes, yes.
Jas: Aiyah, you keep quiet la you.
Khang: (not mortified) Eh is that book nice?
Jas: I tell you you keep quiet. (punches Khang)
Me: Yealah, ppl want to do work keep quiet la.
Khang: Eh Siaw Hui can borrow your Add Maths hw?
Me: Go take it from my desk and stop bothering me.
Khang: Is ...
Jas: YOU KEEP QUIET UNTIL I FINISH MY WORK YOU!
Khang: (whines) But I want to annoy Siaw Hui!
Me and Jas: YOU SHUDDUP LA YOU! (Jas punches again)
Poor Khang Wee.

Oh. And when we were in Miri, Van called me on the hp when we were in the airport. She was on the earlier flight which departed 2 hours ahead of my flight. So she was in the departure hall and I was in the store buying Emm her butterfly pen...
My phone rings.
Me: (Van's name flashing across handphone and I pick up) Hello?
I hear Van hyperventilating on the phone like she got asthma attack...
Me: Uhh... Van?
More hyperventilating.
Mtyp: (next to me) Why? W'ho's that?
Me: You listen la. (presses phone against MTYP's ear)
Mtyp: ??
Me: (takes back phone) Uh, Van?
Van: (in between VERY BAD hyperventilation) Our... flight... got...delayed...till...6.30...which...is...just...half...an...hour...before...yours...
Me: Oh ok.
Van: (continues hyperventilating)
Suddenly I hear someone whining in a very high pitch voice going Why? Why? WHY? WHY?
Me: What?
Van: WE GOT DELAYED.
The whining grows louder.
It's then I realize that it's Jasmine whining in the background.
Lol.

Oh. Btw, Bryant in my church had a very enlightening convo with my friend Ruth...
Bryant: I'm gonna play with this.
Ruth: Why?
Bryant: (getting annoyed) Because it's fun.
Ruth: (annoyingly) Why?
Bryant: Because it spins.
Ruth: (EVEN more annoyingly) Why?
Bryant: (screams) IF YOU ASK ME WHY ONE MORE TIME I"M GONNA ASK YOUR MOMMY TO SPANK YOU!
Ruth: Okay, I get my mommy to spank you too lo.
Bryant: (calms down and pauses to think) Okay, nevermind, we both cry together okay?
Lol.

Then the little kids were playing with the whiteboard and whiteboard marker the other day. Playing hangman...
A little girl called Eunice asks: This is a place in the Bible. What is it? (the place got six blanks)
Her little sister (very cute), Beatrice: Circus!
Ruth and Rebecca (my friends): ...
Was that in the bible? Never saw it if it were. :D

Leticia sat on my lap while I was doing LCD the other day. So I taught her how to press simple buttons to run the slide show. The moment she saw Bryant...
She hopped off my lap, crashed into the keyboard, sending it to the ground and yelled, BRYANT!
And since it was during the prayer and altar call time (as in ppl getting prayed for and everyth very quiet) everyone turned to stare at me.
Yeah, stupid old me with the keyboard wires entwined around me and a little kid tugging my hand.

Agan fell asleep in his chair in church the oth day. He was sitting next to my friend Rachael. So he was nodding off to sleep and he started to incline towards her...
Rach: (hisses to me sitting in front of her) Siaw Hui... SIAW HUI!
Me: (turns around) What?
Rach: (almost hyperventilating) You - look - at - HIM -
Me: (notices that his head is almost hitting Rach's shoulder though she's leaning very far away from him. She can't switch seats because all seats next to her taken)
Lydia turns around and we start laughing quietly.
Rach: (glares at the sleeping boy fiercely) You come any closer and I'd scratch your face!
Agan suddenly wakes up the moment she says this and catches me and Lydia laughing.
Agan: (scowls) What are you ppl laughing at?
Me: Oh nothing. (turns around and snorts)

Ah. And Silas' sleeping habits quite cool. He can fall asleep on his Bible while propping the Bible in his hand. Hebat.

From what I heard from Rebecca, both Agan and me fell asleep in church last Sunday. So I know I fell asleep, I didn't know he fell asleep too. Anyway, she was sitting in the middle of us...
Me: (fallen asleep and starts inclining towards Rebecca who's on my left)
Becca: Oh no, Siaw Hui, no.
Me: (continues inclining)
Becca: (leans to her left and hisses) No, no...
Agan who was nodding off to sleep starts inclining towards her who's on his right.
Becca: (practically petrified) Oh NO.
Agan continues leaning towards her. Rach and Lydia sitting in front turn around and laugh.
Becca: (tries to squeeze herself to make herself smaller) Help me...
The Bible I'm holding in my limp hands finally fall to the ground making a huge BAM sound.
Both Agan and me spring awake and the entire church turns to stare.
Becca: (sighs in relief) THANK GOD.
Me: Wha...? (picks up Bible) I fell asleep?
Becca: (glares at me and then at Agan who's about to fall asleep again) YES YOU DID. AND NEXT TIME YOU DO, MAKE SURE YOUR HEAD HEADS IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!!
Me: (blank) Huh... Whatever.

Ah. And there's this little boy called Nat who's learning to talk in church. So he's been calling everything he sees APPLE (pronounced as APPEL by him)...
Nat: (looks at potted flowers near stage) APPEL!
Silas: (coming down from stage with Agan, Jon and me) Hey NAT!
Nat: (looks at him quietly for a while then he points at Silas) APPEL!!!!
Me: (snorting) Silas, looks like you got a new name.
Silas: No!
Nat: (laughs gleefully and points to Silas solemtnly) APPEL!
Agan, Jon and me collapse into helpless laughter.

Argh. So late already. Tata!

Wake up Call

Yes, Khang, not about Miri trip again. But I feel like I must say this. And I don't care if ppl laugh at me. Or ppl will kill me for saying this or whatever! JUDGE ME IF YOU MUST!

Ah hell, here goes!!

Guys! Gals! All my friends!

Wake up, guys, wake up! All of you!

Stop feeling depressed! Stop feeling like you can't go on. Because you know what? You can go on! You're who you are! You're humans! You have ... uhh... survival tools to your advantage! Go on get up!

Don't feel morbid. It's not good for you. Trust me. Been through that stage already. Am still going through. I know I'm a hypocrite to ask all of you to cheer up when I myself am botching that job. But hell, I'm trying. YOU ALL MUST TRY TO!

It's hard, I know. It's so bloody hard. But we all must try! Look on the other side of life. Look on the other side of the world. Appreciate what you have. Appreciate what YOU are. Come on ppl! BOOST YOUR SPIRITS!

It makes me so sad to see all of you looking so down, and looking so dejected. I'm a sucker for empathy. I know, because my brother always teases me about it. But I don't care, empathy is the core of me. Getting rid of me would mean I wouldn't care about you all!

Come on ppl. We can pull through this. It's all - all teenage angst. We can pull through it. Together. Hold on and hold tight, if we just help each other everytime one falls, we just - we just might pull through. We just might keep afloat in this sea of depression.

I myself am morbid. Need I make myself feel even more guilty because my morbidness is seemingly rubbing off on all of you? Need I make myself even more sad because I can't do anything to help you guys cheer up?

Come on, come on. Kampate. We can pull through this together. Don't feel sad. It takes more muscles to frown than to smile. KAMPATE! GET THROUGH THIS PPL! WE"D GO THROUGH TOGETHER! WE"D PULL THROUGH TOGETHER!

Yeah, I know, you might think Siaw Hui doesn't know what she's talking about. But believe me, though I don't know why you're feeling depressed, I know how it FEELS to be depressed. You feel like you're the lowest of low. You don't know where to go on from here. You feel so lost. You feel like if you could go back in time mebbe you can pick up your pieces and do it all over again, better this time.

But guys, come on, you know what? Things happen for a reason. God sets the stars in place, He aligns all our past, present and future, He sets events in place and sets them in motion. We are just in His hands. Fall back into the events, let them go on like they should. All you do now is to cheer yourself up.

Yeah it's hard. I KNOW. Am still trying to work on my own morbidness. And yes, if you feel like you want to blog out all your depression or cry it all out. Go ahead. At least we'd know that something's wrong with you. But please, after it all, please try to cheer up. It hurts to know that I cant help you ppl cheer up.

Hence this blog post.

Wake up call people! WAKE UP SMELL THE ROSES! I KNOW YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR NOSE IS STUFFED UP COZ YOU'RE JUST TOO SAD TO SMELL BEST PARTS OF LIFE BUT COME ON KAMPATE YOU HAVE TO DO IT! FOR THE SAKE OF YOURSELF IF NOT FOR ME! SMILING IS BETTER THAN BEING DOWN!

Wake up call! Wake up call! Cheerio! CHEERIO!!

Ok, now you can go ahead and call me a hypocrite in my comment box.

But at least I made an effort to get all the laughter back onto your faces. Your scoldings would be worth it. Who knows, maybe your scoldings will make you feel better.

WAKING UP PPL! DON"T FEEL DOWN ANYMORE! CHEER UP! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

One Last Time

I know Khang Wee I know! I'm supposed to write about Miri trip.

But somehow, feeling pretty morbid tonight. Must be coz I'm sleepy and that stupid SHUNT QUESTION IN PHYSICS WHICH I GOT WRONG JUST COZ I CALCULATED WRONG!!

Anyway, cooling down...

Since I was in a morbid mode tonight, I decided to write a poem called One Last Time. Yeah, yeah. It's about girl and guy again. I can see Van wagging her eyebrows. I CAN SEE IT! And again, NO it's nothing to do with me. It was just inspired by some sob love story I watched with mua mum last night.

Anywhoz, it's about a girl who likes a boy who likes another girl. YEP LOVE TRIANGLE! Haha. Ok ok. On with the poem.

And comment on it ya? LOL...

One Last Time
By: Wong Siaw Hui

Was at the wishing well tonight
Tossed a coin into its depths
Closed my eyes and said a prayer:
How I wish this pain would end –

Watched the coin going under
Knowing that the sinking coin
Is synonymous with my heart
As invisible tears streaked my cheeks

And all I can say is –
Save the last dance for me
Give me your hand and waltz with me
Under the moonlight where dreams come true
Let me look into your eyes
And smile once more without this pain
Just for one last night
Just for –
One last time

Never thought it’d turn out like this
A fairytale was what I dreamed
But in this world the law dictates
That impossibilities are never made real

You hurt me more than ever
When you turned around to say:
That friends were what we would ever be
That she was who your heart was with

And all I can say is –
Save the last dance for me
Give me your hand and waltz with me
Under the moonlight where dreams come true
Let me look into your eyes
And smile once more without this pain
Just for one last night
Just for –
One last time

Would you ever believe me
If I told you that
All my life, all my words
Are just part of a façade?

After all you can never tell
How hard one has fallen
How saddened one can be
When love given is not repaid

And all I can say is this –
Save the last dance for me
Give me your hand and waltz with me
Under the moonlight where dreams come true
Let me look into your eyes
And smile once more without this pain
Just for one last night
Just for –
One last time

Should have seen that we could
Never be more than what we are
Tried to block out the truth
That you gave your heart to her

A flower borne by the wind
Caught it in my shaking hand
Crushed the lovely petals
Knowing that my heart feels exactly the same

And all I can say is this –
Save the last dance for me
Give me your hand and waltz with me
Under the moonlight where dreams come true
Let me look into your eyes
And smile once more without this pain
Just for one last night
Just for –
One last time

~Finito~

Miri (2)

Actually, was kind of lz to blog the rest of Miri. Coz well excitement die down liao bah.

BUT, stupid class monitor of a Khang ask me to do it so here goes.

Besides, I can always have this in my blog archive to laugh about it one day soon.

Day 2 - Friday (12/5)

The morning was free. Actually, we were supposed to go Curtin in the morning but since Curtin had a graduation day in the morning, the visit was postponed to the afternoon. We were supposed to meet up by 12.30 though.
The guys were supposed to have a football match at 6 in the morn? Or smth like that. 5B boys against 5C boys. But, I suspect, most of them couldn't wake up in time. HEHE.
Kim and I woke up at 6.30 to find that Tan was already up and awake in the gym. So Kim and I showered and then we got ready for breakfast. Went down to fetch Van, Sal and Jas before we went though.
After breakfast, while most ppl were using the sport facilities, the six of us went up to my room. Cyn, Tan them all went swimming and since we were neighbours, we ended up being caretakers of their belongings. But neh, I ain't complaining. Coz Cyn left her ipod together with its speakers with us. So for the next hour and a half Kim, Van and I benefited from all the 1000 songs in that ipod. Jas and Sal left us halfway to have a little walk in Marriott's beautiful garden. Small but absolutely loaded with cool and blooming flowers.
Tan didn't bring her swimwear and ended up wearning some tank top together with like 5 layers of underwear. One of them saying I'm sexy. Me and Kim were like laughing our heads off when we saw that until she stormed out the door to the pool. And considering the 5 underwears she wore, she practically hogged the laundry line with all of them when she got back and washed them. The horror of having to get rid of all of them when we wanted to bathe (the laundry line was in the way of the shower)
At about 11 Kim started to shower. When she came out, Tan came back and so we pitied her and let her go bathe first (anywhoz, she stank of CHLORINE) By the time I got into the bathroom, it was 15 minutes to 12.30. I came out of the bathroom at 12.25, hopping into my socks and then my shoes. At just about this time, Cyn walks into our room, complete in her swimming outfit...
Cyn: (stares at an uniformed clad Kim, Tan and me who's running like a mad idiot getting into my shoes) Oy, change so early for what.
Me: (spots sought after red tie on Tan's bed and pounces on it with right hand while left hand pulls up sock) Early mer?
Cyn: Ya. Meeting isn't until 1 right?
Kim, me and Tan stare at her, me frantically slinging tie around neck.
Kim: Uhh Cyn. Meeting is at 12.30.
Cyn: Even then not yet time wad.
Tan: Lu si beh gong kuan. IT"S 12 25 ALREADY YOU IDIOT!
Cyn: (grabs my left hand to look at my watch just as I'm about to tie tie) OH NO! I HAVEN"T BATHE YET!
Cyn runs frantically back to room.
Cyn: WINNIE! WHO"S BATHING!
Winnie: Pivian.
Cyn: PIVIAN PIVIAN! CAN I BATHE WITH YOU?
God that was funny.
Laughing like anything, Kim Tan and me stumble out of the room, my untied tie getting almost caught in the door. Fortunately didn't. Even though how much Tan tried to get it wedged there. :P
We finally left for Curtin. Yes, even Cyn made it on time. Why? Coz she jumped into the shower to bathe while Pivian was still brushing her teeth. LOL
Don't really remember the trip there. I was sleeping the whole way. Huahaha.
Went for a REALLY boring tour throughout the campus. The only cool thing about it was probably this council room. It had this Parliament style to it. You know horseshoes on two different levels. And huahaha, I sat on the higher level; Sal and Kim beside me. OOOOO and we got lollipops too. Haha. Ended up everyone started sucking their lolipops!
Oh and then there was this Curtin video with Curtin students saying how good Curtin is. And when this Chinese guy started to talk about his experiences and the China flag popped up to indicate his nationality, everyone went CHINA! And grinned evilly at Khang. :D
Then we went on tour the REAL campus. Got some refreshments before moving on. When some of the guys saw the Lakeside Apartments (which are accomodation for students)...
Guide: So that is the Lakeside Apartment...
Dex: Wahh, so lousy wan mer?
Everyone stares at him.
Dex: Uhh, actually quite good la.
Lol. But I have to admit. It looks shabby.
After the hideously long (and hot) tour of Curtin, we finalyl took a group photo (Muz has it) and clattered back into the bus.
And this is when we realize that our bus driver has a knack for always grinning at ppl. Esp Tan. EHHHH... ;) LOL
After Curtin, it was back to the hotel again to have a rest before coming out to dinner. Not much interesting stuff happening then though.
For dinner, we went to some Malay restaurant whose food was spicy and MTYP and Van almost died from eating them. Proof: To keep themselves from dying from such food, they drank lotsa lotsa iced juice. Huahaha.
Then it was off to the Miri International Jazz Festival (MIJF). And here there was a huge confusion.
Everything was fine at first. Everyone seemingly got their tags to enter... until there were left six of the ppl from our tour. The tickets, it seemed, was less than the supposed 40. There was a huge frenzy. And we started calling those who had entered the festival to come back to sort the whole mess out. And then we realized...
Those missing tickets? WERE WITH AIDAN AND NOEL. Wanna know why? Coz those stupid organizers go give them tickets when they weren't supposed to! The tickets were supposed to be kept temporarily by the organizers not them. And what more, they gave Aidan and Noel three each!! Memang man...
With the whole thing sorted out, we went in and managed to catch the last part of the first act: some jazz band from Swak. They were cool.
THEN, there was some weird classical jazz from a Korean lady who, in my opinion, kept screaming the lyrics. And it was... the whole thing... was weird. I mean, she sang a song on Pancakes man!
Because of that, everyone started to fall asleep one by one. We were supposed to go back at 11.30 that night. But since everyone couldn't stand it, save a few, we managed to bug the teachers to go back at 10.30.
Jackson Chan brought us back while the other two teachers stayed back to babysit the rest. Damn it. It was the worst decision I made in going back at 10.30. Because of that horribly lady, there was a fantastic band from Aus. DAMMIT!
We went back. And Kim, Tan and I fell into a deep sleep. Well, Tan had trouble sleeping actually coz Kim and I snored...
Tan tucks herself into bed and tries to sleep.
Kim starts to snore.
Tan: Dammit, how am I supposed to sleep?
Kim stops snoring.
Tan: Thank God now I can sleep.
I start snoring.
Tan: DAMMIT!
I stop snoring.
Tan: FINALLY...
Kim and I start snoring at the exact same moment.
Tan: ARGGHHHH!!!
She fell asleep with four pillows heaped over her head.
Kim fell asleep like a butterfly in a cocoon. None of her could be seen under the covers.
In the middle of the night, Tan woke up to go the bathroom. When she came out, Kim had changed her sleeping position. She had her head propped up against her left hand and her right hand was wiping her nose every once and again as she sniffled. And her legs was in the position like she was standing like a sumo. She awoke yelled at Tan to shut the bathroom light off and fell asleep again.
Poor Tan.

Will continue the rest of the trip tomorrow. 2nd day was probably the most boring day of all. Not many jokes. Hrumph. Oh yeah, jokes from the 1st day that I forgot.

At some park which have the suspended bridge (yes the one with ropes and can swing violently)...
Ms Teo was clinging on for dear life.
Me and Van laughed at her as we walked past.
She glared at us going WELL CAN YOU BLAME ME?!
Laughed even louded until Sat and Noel started to jump up and down on the bridge.
Van and I yelled in fright and clung onto the bridge too.
Ms Teo gives a satisfied smirk and goes NOW LOOK WHO"S SCARED NOW?!

Oh. Cyn tricked me that there was a frog in some pool. So I decided to trick Ms Teo...
Me: (acting frightened as Ms Teo walks towards pool) MS TEO MS TEO! GOT FROG!!!
Ms Teo: (jumps back and screams)
Me: (laugh like I want to die) NEH, JUST JOKING!!
Ms Teo: SIIIAAWWWW HUIIIIII!!! (screeches louder and lurching towards me chases me into the bus) YOU COME BACK HERE!!!!!!

Lol.

Miri

Huahaha... I'm back at the blog after four days and three nights.

So how was Miri? Fun AND tiring. Hum hum. Here goes what we did.

Day 1 - Thurs (11/5)

Arrived at the airport at 6.30. Coz Ms Teo say she'd be there before seven and we all have to be there before 7. Mana tahu. The moment I walk out of the car, NO ONE FROM SCH WAS THERE. Phooey. Then as I was about to drag my bag out, out pops someone in a white t shirt(all of us wear white shirt btw) and I was thinking who the heck was that. The person spotted me also I think and he turned around. It was Noel. And our reactions were:
Me and Noel: (same time) You?
Lol.
Then after that, everyone started showing up one by one. And for a moment, we thought that we were going to stay in chalets. And this was what Kim had to say about that thought:
Me: Eh, if stay in chalets pretty cool oh.
Jas and Sally: Ya ya!
Kim: (pauses to think) Eh, chalet is by the sea right?
Me: Ya...
Kim: Aisee, I'm scared boh.
Me, Jas and Sally: Why?
Kim: Coz the sea got pirates mah. What if the pirates break into our chalet?!
Me, Jas and Sal: ...
Oh. And Sjane was wearing a tshirt saying: Girls will be girls and boys will be toys. Haha. Quite cool boh. Lol.
Btw, the Kch Airport layout is darn stupid. We were supposed to depart from Gate 5. And we walked the whole length of the departure hall on the top floor of the airport... only to find that Gate 5 is downstairs. Sheesh.
Anyway, we managed to get on the flight in one piece (yeap no casualties due to stupid quarrels and all that) BUT I LOST MY CAMERA POUCH! I left it in the stupid airport coz when I was taking pics for Sally them all, we were asked to board the plane. So since I was holding so many things: my backpack, my camera itself, my handphone and my boarding pass, I managed to dump my camera into the bag but not the pouch. I didn't realize it until we were airbourne. By then too late liao bah. Sigh. Thank God it's just the pouch and nothing else.
Sat with Kim and Van on the flight. And when Kim and me found out we could get free peanuts, we snatched up the lot. Huahaha.
When we landed, I had to call my mum (you know how mums are la) and I had to tell her that I lost the pouch. I got blasted. After that I went to the toilet where ALL the girls went. And since there were only 3 miserable cubicles, we had to line up. While lining up, we were remarking on how Tan was taking a hideously long time in the toilet cubicle...
Sally: Haiyah you Tan ah. So long wan you. Other ppl later than you come out liao lo.
Tan: (muffled) What la!
Me: YEALOR.
Tan: Ahh shut up la.
My phone rings so I pick it up. While talking Tan walks out of the toilet and past me and to the sinks.
Me: (puts phone down and noticing Tan's INITIAL toilet cubicle door is still closed) Oy! Tania ah you! So long wan boh you! Ppl come out liao you still haven't.
Tan: (from behind me) WHAT LA YOU I CAME OUT ALREADY YOU BLIND GIRL!
Me: (turns around) Heh.
Whole toilet erupts into laughter including Ms Teo.
Then, when I was peeing, I heard this Chinese lady asking Van about the whole entourage of us...
Lady: (in Mandarin) So where do you come from?
Van: (no one else in toilet so forced to ans in Mandarin) Uh... Kuching?
Lady: (excitedly gabbles in Mandarin) Oh! What school you come from?
Van: Uhh... Lodge?
Lady: (Mandarin) You come here to what? Play? Study?
Van: (looks desperately at me when I walk out of the toilet) Uhh... Uhh
Me: (in Mandarin) We came here to play.
Lady: Oooh... (walks out of toilet)
LOL.
Anyway, we left the airport, Khang Wee dragging a whole box of chicken he brought from Kch for his aunt in Miri. We were laughing and teasing him about it the whole way. Even Mdm Voon and Ms Teo joined us in poking fun at him, saying that we needed the chicken for BBQ. Lol.
We went back to the hotel but our rooms weren't ready. So after tagging our baggages, we lazed around the lobby for a while (the lobby was really nice but it was not air con bleh) Then we went for Miri City Tour.
While getting to the City Fan and Miri Library, we passed by all these huge election posters... which all belonged to BN. Aiyah. So no competition wan. And what more, Miri only 3 constituents. By the time I left Miri, I could remember all the candidate faces. And some of them were saying that one of the candidates named Lee smth looked like Linus. HAHA.
Anyway, we went to the Lib which had cool potraits done by some local artist. And one of the potrait of a Chinese girl looked like a cross between Sjane and Jackie. And they actually dragged Sjane to the potrait to compare the both. Huahaha.
Then we went to the real library. And since there were winding stairs, one can actually stand at the bottom of the stairs, be really cheeky and see the underwear of those who are wearing skirts. And that's what one of the guys (can't remember who) were doing until they got scolded by Pivian. HAHA.
The library was pretty cool. There was the strong room where they keep all the private gov documents. And they have this huge safe, like those leading to gold vaults. But of course can't go in. Then we went to the kid's reading room and then to the garden. The garden had flowers labelled with their names. When passing the plant called JASMINE...
Me: Ooh. Jasmine!
Kim, me, Tiff: (shoot evil grin at Jasmine)
Jas: (wails) What!
Me: Eeee, so lousy wan. No flower. Only got small buds. (evil grin)
Jackson Chan: Got la. Neh this one over here. (waves hand at Jasmine)
Jas: (fumes)
Me: Oy, you supposed to grow on the plant. Get back to the plant liao. You not supposed to come out here. Later no nutrients then you die ah.
Needless to say, I got whacked mercilessly.
There was a plant named Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. Noel made some stupid lame joke about it but can't remember liao.
We went to the City Fan and took this group photo on a Chinese-looking bridge in the park. And Chiew and Dexter went to take a couple-paktohing-on-bench pic. Damn funny. We laughed our heads off.
AFter City Fan, it was to the shopping mall for lunch. The mall was DEAD. Half the shops were open and there was ABSOLUTELY nothing. So we went for lunch (where we all got conned out of our money the laksa in Miri sucks btw) outside the shopping mall and went back again to scour around. And Sjane being the very funny girl she is actually sat on the musical horse (you know the one where you put 20 cents in, make stupid music play while you bounce happily up and down on the horse?) Yep, that one. I have a video of it in my handphone.
Then we went to the Petroleum Museum and the Grand Old Lady of Miri (which is the first oil rig ever built in M'sia back during Brooke's time in 1910) Took some pics but what was really funny was the ride up to the Museum.
The ride was uphill. And considering the bus contained 40 ppl, it had trouble climbing the hill. So Ms Teo was like leaning forward in her seat going PUSH PPL PUSH! PUSH! WE CAN DO IT! WE CAN DO IT!
Lol.
The Museum was smth like Petrosains in KL. But it's just that got Islam inside too.
After everything was over, we went back to the hotel. AND our rooms were STILL not ready. But for what it's worth, Marriott was really nice. They gave us cool drinks and towels on our return. Finally, we got our rooms. The hotel was kind of resort style which meant we have to walk instead of taking lifts to our rooms. Most of us stayed in the Orchid Block (which is 3 blocks away from the hotel lobby) where our rooms were 18 something. Tan, Kim and mine was 1818. Cyn's was connected to mine since her's was 1819. My whole floor was our sch's rooms. And directly below us on the ground floor was Jas' room, 1808. And then got 1803 which was Sjane's room. A few of them stayed in the Heliaconia block, where the rooms range from 17 onwards. Sat's was 1708 and Muz was 1707.
The beds in Marriott are made of feathers! You can absolutely sink in it! But the problem was, since I was the one holding the key and opened the door with it, Tan and Kim ran in first and took the huge comfy beds. I took the smaller normal one. But we compromised. Kim and Tan gave me half their pillows. MUAHAHA.
After fooling around a while and opening the connecting doors so Cyn and come over and vice versa, we got ready to go our for shopping at 5.30 Something that happened in the bus...
Someone attempted to sit next to Khang...
Khang: You want to sit next to me meh? I stink boh. I haven't bathe.
Person edges away to another seat.
LOL.
We had dinner in the shopping mall till about 8 and then it was back to the hotel for rest. But most of them used the sports facilities in Marriott. Whether it was the gym or the tennis courts or the swimming pool or the football field. Something really funny happened that night...
Kim and Tan went into the hotel room first. I was caught up with discussing the next morning's programmes with Ms Teo and Muz in the lobby. So...
Tan: (in the room spots Mentos sweets on the beds) Wah, Kim this is just like heaven. They gave us sweets!
Kim: (leans on the curtain which cannot be pulled the whole way across the windows and a scratchy sound is produced OBVIOUSLY)
Kim: (stands stock still) What was that?
Tan: What?
Kim: Got some scratchy sound. (starts hyperventilating) Oh my God. What's that? WHAT"S THAT? AHHHH!!!
She bolts for the front door to get to Cyn's room when all the while she could have just ran through the open connecting doors into the room. Tan starts to run for the doors to in the frenzy, screaming as she goes. When both reach the door, they were so frantic they kept pushing on the door to get it open when it was supposed to be pulled open.
Finally, they got the door open and they ran out and banged on Cyn's front door. Cyn let them in and they ran into her room and told her about the sound.
At this exact moment, I walk up to my room, thinking nothing's wrong and open the door.
Only to find Cynthia and Pivian running into my room through the connecting doors. And Cyn was gripping a rolled sheet of paper firmly.
Cyn: Don't worry! Cynthia's here!
Me: (lost and calm unlike the others) What's going on here? What happened?
Cyn: (leaps onto Kim's bed) You all Christians right?
Me: Uhh.. yeah, why?
Cyn: Okay, we're going to pray. (points dramatically at the curtain) In Jesus name, whatever you are, be gone! We are all God's children. Amen!
Tan: (echoes) AMEN!
Me: Amen... but to what?
Cyn: (approaches curtain slowly and I'm beginning to think what's in the curtain and she tugs it) NOTHING LE
Tan: (dramatically) IT"S UP THERE YOU GUNDU!
Cyn: (jumps up and down and away from curtain) SHIT WHY DIDN"T YOU TELL ME!!!
A hand suddenly shoves me forward towards the curtain.
Me: (walk towards the curtain and looking up, tugs at the curtain, producing the simliar scratchy sound)
Kim: YOU SEE!
Me: Huh? (looks up at the curtain and realizes that it can't be pulled all the way across the windows) (tugs on it again and same sound is produced because the railing ends there!)
Me: Haiyah you ppl! OF COURSE GOT SOUND LA! THE STUPID THING CAN"T PULL ALL THE WAY ACROSS! SO WHEN YOU PULL IT AGAINST THE END OF THE RAILING IT MAKES A SOUND BAH!
Silence. Then...
Everyone turns to glare at Kim.
Kim: WHAT!
Tan: HAIYAH YOU AHHH!
They all storm off leaving behind a red Kim and an amused me, staring at the curtains that caused so much unintentional trouble.
Then the rest of the night passed without any other incident.

Oh crude. The post is so long. I'd continue another night.

Lost and desperate, when is this pain ever going to end?

The Wonderful World of 5C

Haha. Today I got mood berblogging (new word that Jas came up with so don't blame me for destroying English as we all know it)

So. I've been thinking about what to blog about. And I thought, well hey, why don't I do a post on Tingkatan 5C?

*evil grin*

And then I can comment on all the people in our class (don't worry la, nice comments hehe) and the jokes or funny things I remember about them. So here goes:

*Warning: Wong Siaw Hui is not to be held liable for anything that goes on in this blog post if you the reader feel offended.*

But don't worry, I won't be snide and mean. :)

So in sitting order, nearest to the door:

Sally - She's a really sweet girl, once you get to know her. Very quiet and pretty shy. But she can scare the crap out of you when you're doing your work. I don't know why, but she has this knack of sneaking up on me whenever I'm busy doing something and tap me on the shoulder. And she enjoys seeing the shock on my face too. Hmph. Oh and she can be loud when she wants to too. Trust me on this.

Yee Ying - Ahahaha. She looks like our new Chem teacher! Lol. Okay, okay, don't get mad with me. Hmm. This girl here is Queen of Sejarah. Has a brilliant photographic memory. She just reads and everything goes in and most importantly, stays in. Wish I could have her brain. Hrumph. Oh and she likes going around, crying "Ahhhh!!" and waving her hands madly too. :D And she loves having cute stuff, on her bag, in her bag, on her pencilbox... you get the idea.

Tania - This girl is ... uh... rough? What! She is! But she's funny too. She can really make you crack up on a moody day. Oh and she steals my chicken pies too (as in pies that I buy not bake duh) But beware her punch and whatever methods of "torture" she perform using her hands. ;)

Jessica - She laughs loud. She talks loud. But she's adorable and cute at the same time. And no, I'm not a lesbian. It's just that whenever she laughs, she sets everyone laughing too. Oh, her favourite pastime is bullying Van into providing homework to copy or to teach her stuff. Just before tests too. Now that's what I call smart studying. :)

Vanessa - The perfect example of don't judge a book by its cover. She might look quiet and shy on the outside, not to mention really gentle too, but she isn't. This girl can be tough when she wants to and she can be loud and bold when she feels the need to do so. However, it doesn't stop her from getting bullied by Jasmine. Tut tut tut. Poor girl.

Jasmine - The girl who goes "Yadush" when she punches ppl. Lol. She's a pretty girl who's always ready to lend a helping hand to whoever who needs it. But she also has a short span of concentration. For eg. when she's studying and when someone's making a noise behind her, she'd turn immediately and her eyes will light up. I don't know how many times Kim, Sally, Noel, Van and me had to yell at her to get back to studying. Oh. And if you drop by her desk, remember to check out her spectacle case. It is simply one word: cool.

Khang Wee - The ever-efficient class monitor whose only ambition was to be a class monitor thereby making him the only peer I have whose already accomplished his ambition. Hehe. He is totally obsessed with class whiteboard markers ever since his got stolen by Mrs Ngu. However, his obsession is starting to die down. :) Oh and he's CP's descendant. If you don't know what CP is short form for, go ask him. You'd gasp when you find out. I did. :D

Kok Ming - Lodge Head Boy. What more do I have to say? ;) Oh just this. He never fails to tease and disturb me everyday (it's one of the daily facts of life for me :D ) He once called himself Rolex and called me Gua Niah. The ego of it all. But for what it's worth, he has a good heart and will always help out when the time calls for it.

Aidan Chan - The 5C resident genius. He is Duke of Physics, Lord of Add Maths, King of English... you name it he is it. Lol. He however has very weird philosophies about life. And he thinks too much for his own good :P Neh, he's uniquely Aidan because he does. His loves in life include chess, fireworks and maths. Oh and his recent philosophy is: If a ham sandwich is better than nothing and nothing is better than eternal happiness than a ham sandwich is better than eternal happiness. Go figure.

Sing Yue - The teachers are forever complaining that his handwriting is barely legible. But that doesn't mean that he's not brilliant in his studies. Oh. And he's the one we go to when we need to soften the teachers up through sweet talking. ;)

Kai Lun - He's quiet. Well not that quiet but still - Anyway, he gives out an aura of being very kwai. And it's not like he isn't but well he can do a fair bit of disturbing to you when he's up to it. Let's just leave it at that. And the Sejarah teacher enjoys picking on him. Lol.

Louis - School basketball player. Sits next to Sjane... enough said. *evil grin*

Tiffany - The star of the Wizard of Oz which is going to be staged end of the month. *breaks into applause* This girl here is Wonder Woman. Note the capitals coz she can do absolutely everything. She can run excellently, do academics excellently, hit the high notes excellently, do art excellently - No wonder she's Miss Near Perfect. ~Tiffania Tiffania wanna look at mia ~ Sorry couldn't resist.

Satnam - The LION in the Wizard of Oz. Beware his roar - well, actually he's a really nice guy. Mild mannered too. So don't be deceived by the mane (haha, oh that cracked me up lol) He will always help you no matter what. Oh and he has a sense of humour too. Though I still don't get why he wants me to name my future son Teh Hiang and Alison to name hers Andrew.

Muzafar - He can do pretty cool art work. And he handles the comp like a pro. Though he has always fancied Apple and I have always fancied Windows. Oh well.

Kimberly - My punchbag! My wailing bag! My ranting bag! She's three in one! She endures everything I dish out to her. She can pretty blur at times. And yet at others, incredibly sensitive and fast on picking up things. Lol. I still remember her cartoon plaster on her arm. And the way she yelled when Jessica, thinking it was a sticker, ripped it off her arm. Ow.

Elane - Hardworking. This one is a replica of Yee Ying. Read only can get into her head liao. I envy the pair of them. But just because she works hard doesn't mean she doesn't help me bully Kim at times -

Emmeline - The RBC and the ROYAL MINI! Huahaha, but seriously she is tall. T A L L. And she plays basketball like a pro - but she's also as blur as Kim sometimes. Esp early in the morning. And she does really good potraits of ppl. And one tip for you - it's easy to disturb her in the early morning coz she's either too tired to fight back or too blur to realize that she has to retort. Lol.

Alison - The Royal Fashion Diva! She is a walking fashion guide so if you need help in that area, go look for her. She's a really good speaker (who has tried to pull me to go along with her for competitions and workshops bleh) and she can be really bold if the need arises. Oh. And she has a really quick mind too. :) And dry sarcastic wit.

Chin Ann - He might be smaller compared to the rest of the guys but don't underestimate him. He is a good footballer (from what I've heard) and he can really do something when he sets his mind to it.

Yitian - The class clown. Well sort of. Always making people laugh especially during the morbid lessons.

Sarajane - Smart, more smart and even smarter. :P But she knows how to have fun too. ;) Oh and she loves shopping. I still remember the horror of her and Kim dragging me to go shopping for long hours on end in KL - *shivers*

MTYP - She can think. A lot. I mean as in you know, ponder about life. :) But she's a really sweet girl who never complain about her prefect duties (hint to all the others out there who do ;) Oh and she loves snatching Kim's pencilbox from her desk everytime we come into class after lining up - and trying to slam the door into my face.

Celeste - One day she and Mel decided to gang up on me and slapped me really hard all over my shoulder and arms. The day will live on infamy, being known as Bully-Siaw-Hui-Day. Whatever. Lol. Every lunch time when she walks in, almost every la, Kim and I will without fail to see her licking and sucking an icecream. Hmph. Never belanja us wan.

Melissa TY - Basketball captain of Lodge girl bball team! Whoot! Haha. She can be funny if she wants to, lame funny la. Haha. Jk jk.

Akmal - Akmal the Makmal. Huahaha. This guy here packs a mean punch. So run far far away if he's looking to punch you. He has a very contagious laugh and can be funny (in a very very lame way) I still remember him and Tania going, "Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?" Hilarious that act

Cherling - The class monitor also. Loves and adores cats. She has a very nice laugh and she is totally obssessed with thinking that the canteen ppl are out to get her. She keeps complaining that her lump of beef rendang is smaller compared to mine, Kim's, Jeremiah's and Tiff's. Lol.

Jeremy - The King of the back table in the canteen. Small kingdom if you ask me but nevertheless it is still a kingdom. He's a kind guy and a nice one at that. He and Noel were screaming at each other and tossing things at each other to complete their Moral poster the oth day. And he taught Alison how to mist her glasses up today - for Lord knows what reason.

Lee Lip - The person who thinks he can play every musical instrument. According to Tania la. The guy gets bullied by Aidan everyday in class who calls out - I'd really rather not say it here.

Winston - He loves, eats, drinks, breathes football. And he has this knack of ticking me off whenever we do oral. Urgh. :D

Noel - The beloved squirrel. NOT! Huahaha. The squirrel here believes himself to be a musketter but is not. He together with Akmal will bully me nonstop about my height. He actually tried to get me to jump for food that I really needed to filly my growling stomach! He's a mean old squirrel he is. I should steal his supply of nuts one day.

And that is all there is to the wonderful world of 5C.

Know You More
Hillsongs

You hold it all at once
The earth and all within
You look with eyes of love
To the sons of man
That I am known by You
Compels my heart to sing

I live to know You
I live to know You
I live to know You
For me to live is Christ
And to know You is my life

The storms will come and go
There's laughter and there's pain
Your kindness leads me on
To the light again
So I live and breathe
And find myself in You

I live to know You
I live to know You
I live to know You more

I count it all but loss
Compared to knowing You
I give my life away
To know you any day

And I'm thinking to myself... there's laughter all right... but where's the laughter in my life now? There's pain only... for now.

God help me pull through this.

Help me find myself.

I'm - I'm lost...
