After Carnival Day...

cFirst things first. MY FEET HURT LIKE HELL!!!!! I haven't sat down for more than ten minutes since 8 all the way to 3. Here's the run down of my day.

1. 6:45- Appear in school and try not to look too free.
2. 7:30- In the Pusat Sumber receiving the hundredth briefing from Goh Jin Han. All of us in promosi are seriously put of by what he has to say.
3. 7:50- rush down to padang, scared that Pn. Lee will scold me. But it turns out I was pretty early... Malaysians... 
4. 8:00- After trying to help Jia Hui find her class, I go to 5E2 for the fortune telling class. Believe it or not, their business was actually quite good! In fact, they even had a waiting list. 
5. 9:00- WTH, the person that is supposed to take over duty DIDN'T come. And poor Haris had to skip his * to watch the PS2!!! So sorry, Haris!!!!
6. 10:00- FREE! I walked around with a teddy bear and saw Pamela and Camilla Tee!!! WAH! So happy leh! REALLY missed them! 
7. 10:30- I am outside the ghost house waiting. 
8. 11:15- STILL waiting! I give up. 11:30 had to go duty. WHATLARH! I want to PLAY leh!
9. 11:30- We love you so much Ching Man! 
10. 11:45- Zhi Xin, Ching Man, and I walk around selling drinks. Partly the cause of my poor aching feet.
11. 1:15- Change shift. Congrats, Goh Jin Han. I really pei fu you. 
12. 1:30- I take a sit in 5E1 throwing darts and imagining someone's face there. Mmmhmmmm...
13. 2:30- tired and out of temper. But Aun Chian, Bryan Lim and Yeoh Song Lin are not. I tag along holding the PPS store sign while they sing loudly:" Burger, burger, burger!!!" over and over. I am still not sure how I feel about it. To be sure, it succeeded beyond expectation...
14. 3:00- I am going back~~~~ and my IDIOTIC brother decides to DISAPPEAR!!!!! I HATE HIM!!!!
15. 3:30- I have finally found that IDIOTIC boy!!!!
16. 4:00- back home writing this and not caring for Germany. I can't believe myself...

Before the Carnival

SMK Taman Connaught is holding a Carnival! WEEEEE~~~~ (Right, that does not sound like me. It sounds like Camillia)

Am I excited? Yeah, OKlah... (that sounds more like me... actually, it should be: no, no feeling leh) But I am just a little excited and beginning to feel stressed out. I don't think I should have gone for promotion. I won't tell here, 'cause it might ruin my life, 'cause it might be one of the most embarrassing thing I might ever do in my life. (Of course, I might not do it... see firstlah) Well, first, I would like to complain about my schedule.

1. 6:45- reach school, begin preparation for PPS.
2. 7:45- Find Puan Lee in the padang.
3. 8:00- the carnival starts, and I am stuck in 5E2 supervising 5S2 tearing their coupons. I wander if they will get any customers at all. They are doing fortune telling, I think. What are they going to do? Imagine the scene... Some guy stands at the door way, he's wearing a rubbish sack on his head as a hood and a rubbish sack on his body so he looks like Trashy Potter. Then the customer comes. "Welcome." He pays don't know how much and meets a woman in huge, colorful clothes. "Good morning, young man. I see a black aura surrounding you today." There is a pregnant pause. Then she shrieks very loudly. "AAAARRRGGGHHH!!!! The GRIM!!! You are going to die in at the stroke of 11:59!!!" There's one reaction they will get: *swt*
4. 9:00- I walk to the class next door, 5E1 for class duty. I have to look after the PS2. And the irony is I don't know how to use one! I never even touched one in my life! Hahaahaaa! I hope Anita can teach me fast enough. LOL! I'll enjoy it. 
5. 10:00- I am FINALLY free! One and a half hours of FREE time! What shall I do? First of all, I shall go to the St John maze. Then, I might go for the ghost house if I hear it's anything good, then I will walk the car park where all the food is =D and then I will take a look at the dunking machine, and maybe I will have a go at it. Anyway, food is the priority for me tomorrow.
6. 11:30- END of freedom until 3:00. PPS duty. Don't ask. I will tell you nothing. It's too much, it's the reason I'm stressed out today.

Anyway, I am now agonizing over how on earth to cut two cabbages and two cucumbers... I will probably take an hour or two...

It Is An Art

(Warning: if you don't know me well, don't read this post. It will create a bad impression)
I have recently accumulated a rather exotic hobby: collecting slaps. This year, I have collected numerous slaps from numerous people for numerous reasons. I don't really get it. Am I more annoying this year then I was last year or the year before or the other years before that I should be slapped so many times this year???? It's a mystery that is just waiting to be solved. My slaps too, have levels. There is the Ultra Rare Slaps, Rare Slaps, Uncommon Slaps, and Common Slaps. I sound crazy, don't I? But maybe it's because I'm feeling a little stressed about the carnival tomorrow.

These are the slaps I have so far collected:

Ultra Rare Slaps: Alicia's, Shepard's and Daniel Chong's... (I know, I don't know what I did, but they really did slap me. Maybe Alicia is an exception, she only looked like she was slapping me, but it was so funny, I had to put it in. And as for Daniel's slap, I am not sure WHAT I did either. I am going to pay back someday. Shepard's, let me assure you, was an accident...)

Rare Slaps: Voon Jensine, Saw Li Ming. (Two of Jensine's! And one of Saws)

Uncommon Slaps: Ginny Ngai's. (I was annoying her about her eating her carrots, and she went PAK at my face. Ouch...)

Common Slaps: Tiffany Chua's. (Goodness knows how many people she has slapped already... So common slap)

To make things more interesting, I might add a limited edition sometime if i get slapped anymore this year... Ouch, no wander I have been getting so many pimples on my face this year. And I thought it was PMR that caused it....

There are so many things to talk about that I have to use a new post to tell about the carnival (It will be mostly complaints)

The Whirlwind that is MINE...

Hey~~~ I'm feelin' high. Like my title? I like it too. I haven't read an English book for sometime... I must have read like, only three English books  this year? Let me list them: I read two books from Warriors: The Power of Three, and a romantic, slice-of-life novel What She Wants. Hold on, hold on, I'm still Jasmine here. Aliens haven't abducted me yet. Recently I've read quite a few romances, all of them chinese, 'cause they are quite simple and use very elaborate phrases to describe their... 'romantic scenery' in which the protagonist and her lover meet and fall in love blahblah... To be sure the stories are all nonsense, but I kind of enjoy them 'cause they are funny and light hearted, and I can forget about PMR... It's ironic because I am reading them FOR PMR. What am I crapping? I didn't want to write about that,  but I've forgotten what I was planning to write.

Anyways, I have been down with the flu for... three, four days? And yesterday was the worst I had a headache from the moment I woke up to the moment I put my head on the pillow, around six or seven. No, I didn't eat dinner. LOL, in school I kept complaining about my head throbbing to Shepard and Zhi Xin and they were all trying their best NOT to give me what I wanted, sympathy. And then I thought I had fever 'cause I felt so hot, but my palms were sweating like mad and my face was full of sweat too but I felt so dry. But then Shepard told me that I wasn't hot but COLD! Hehe, but how can that be possible when I felt so hot and feverish? I want to try and touch someone who claims that he/she feels hot but is actually really cold! I'm not sure whether you readers are getting me, 'cause I sure feel rather confused. I have a feeling that this is going to be a really long post. If you haven't given up reading, good for you, sure get A++++ for patience.

And there is the school Carnivel! I am helping in the promotion for PPS. Actually, I was only helping because I thought I might have nothing to do, since our class was doing nothing (besides talking about selling live ayam) and Shepard's friends were coming and Yi Ling's friends were coming and Zhi Xin was helping in both PPS and scout and Ngai was helping in PPS and Jia Hui was also helping elsewhere and Anita, Tiffany and Jensine were probably helping CF, so I was like, what am I going to do, and I went to help out the PPS. How was I to know that our class was going to do anything???  And the PPS are going to show three movies in the PPM, Inception, Om Bak 2 and Predators. I REALLY want to watch Inception, so I hope they put Inception as the first movie, 'cause I can't watch if it's from 11:30- 3:00, because I am on duty, and I don't know WHY I agreed to duty for so long??? Zhen shi bai lei...

Is there anything more to write about? So much has happened this week, and I can't quite remember what I was planning to write about in the beginning. my memory is getting worse and worse by the day, because it is being used more and more and I am worried that it is reaching it's limit. I wish there was a USB slot to download info into my head so I wouldn't have to remember all those useless facts that I will clean forget once I go up to form 4.

Yes, I remember something. If my friend is reading this right now, I hope she knows that it is she I am writing this to. Finding it hard to speak face to face, i resort to the underhand method of writing, but this is a modern way, writing on a blog, hehe... anyway, I don't advice this friend to forget, because it is impossible to forget. I ask her instead to treasure the happiness and learn from the sadness, and look to the future. Life is not easy, but we can still enjoy it, if we learn not to cling to the past and learn to look forward to what the future holds. No matter how much bitterness the past may hold, the future still holds sweetness, and pray it will last to the end...

I am still the same Jasmine, man. Do not expect me to go around spouting that sort of cheesy stuff in ordinary circumstances. I just wanted to get that of my chest because I really love my friends, all of them. I did not write that, some one else hacked into my blog.

Signing of, missing Facebook and starting to regret, CLQJasmine. (But for Germany I shall remain in my pitiful state until after PMR!!!)

The following is the story of my week in pictures, because I have trouble finding words to describe how I have felt =)

 

Some of them I put 'coz I like how they look, but some really made me think, yeah, I really felt like that...

The point of it all

I want to do everything in point form because that way everything has order.

1. Wishing dontouchme Jensine a very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY   

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY 

To be truthful, that is all.

The End of the World Cup 2010

Spain have beaten Holland. 1-0. I am not happy. But I am not angry. I just have to accept the reality. It is comforting to know that Germany lost to Spain, for some reason. It makes me feel like Germany are the second best team in the world. Mind, Germany are a very young team and they had to put together a new team when two of their goalkeepers died suddenly and captain Michael Ballack got injured. It has been an incredible season, I admit. But all things must end to allow new things begin. In this case, distractions end. No Facebook, no computer games, no books, no TV. And studying begins. Revision books by the dozen and work books are literally strewn all over my room...

Congratulations to Thomas Muller for being awarded Hyundai Young World Cup Player. And the German team too will receive top honors when they return home, as coach Joachim Loew will too. I cannot make myself feel happy and enthusiastic, when nothing but gloom is in sight in my near future. Swirling gray clouds veil a mystery which may not be pleasant to uncover... I am beginning too think like Shakespear...

The World Cup and I...

People sometimes tell me, "Hey, kid. Your a girl, football isn't for you. And also, even if you like it, don't go crazy over it, it's just a game." I admit that I kind of agree. I get really worked up about these things. But I really like football because it brings people together. Yeah, cheesy, I know you're thinking, but that is really how I feel. One of the only times I can remember doing things as a whole family besides dinner (that doesn't count because I can remember more silent dinners than noisy ones) was one of the World Cup 2002 matches. It was held in South Korea and Japan, so we could watch it. I can't remember what match it was, but it wasn't the Australia- Germany match which ultimately started my campaign for the eagles (my dad was supporting Australia, so, rebellious even than, I chose Germany and stuck to it from than on. Germany won, by the way. I can still remember yelling 'EAGLES, KILL THE KANGAROOS!!!' and my dad repremending me for such foul language) (Germany's national animal is the Eagle, by the way) Being a man, disloyal things they are, my dad switched teams and went for Brazil, who ultimately won Germany in the finale. And being childish, he tricked me of a dollar. (Bad father who teaches his daughter gambling) That may be why I am so interested in football, though my family doesn't go crazy about it anymore (what am I talking about, my mother and sister never cared for football anyways) but we still have light conversations about it (imagine asking where the World Cup was held right smack in the middle of the Quarter Finals!!! And saying ... "Oh, yeah, I think it's being held in.... GERMANY!!!! *bang head against wall) (By the way, the World Cup is being held in South Africa, to those who have been living in caves and eating raw meat) which brings us to the whole point of this post. (I know what you are thinking, 'WHAT, YOU HAVE TYPED OUT SO MUCH AND IT WAS ONLY CRAP????!!!) (I can't help it. It's a contagious disease I caught from a particular friend whose name starts with a capital 'T)
Here is the first point (If I don't do it with numbers I will write more crap)

1. Thomas Muller has my vote for the Best Young Player of World Cup 2010. He has shown that he has what it takes to shine, and he's only twenty *Swoon... I feel like one of those Twilight fans, only Thomas Muller is way better than Robert Pattinson. He's like a robot with white paint and a crooked nose. Them idiots who swoon over him are blind as bats* (I am team Jacob, by the way, but only because no one likes him and I like Taylor Lautner's six packs :D) - crapping again - . Makes me fell proud, even though I am not German. I do have German relatives though, so I have an excuse to support Germany so wholeheartedly. 
2. The Netherlands will kill the Spanish and take the World Cup trophy home. I really want them to win, even if it's only because I spitefully despise the fact that Spain killed Germany's run in the World Cup. I salute David Villa, though. And Fernando Torres, in your face. You are quite useless, next to David Villa. He looks good and plays better than you. (But I prefer Thomas Muller)
3. Congratulations to Germany for taking third place, beating Uruguay 3-2. 
4. Darn, when the World Cup's done I have to go back to thinking seriously about PMR. Sometimes, I think that I may like football because it serves as a distraction from daily life. 
5. Gambateh, Jia You, Jangan Putus Asa, PMR students GO!
6. Gee, I am so serious about football that I really think I can quit Facebook until PMR is gone because Germany lost...  T.T I hope I don't become one of those people who commit suicide because their team lost. 

Thomas Muller. He's my idol <3

Anyway, Goodbye for now and Take Care. Signing of with No Regrets for Quiting Facebook, CLQ Jasmine.

The sky is not blue like it was once,

I see no stars like there were once, 

Life, no longer truth like it had once,

I am living a lie, that's what I feel.

The rain was falling from the sky,

The clouds a gray carpet in the sky,

I wanted so much to say goodbye,

But I felt like I was living a lie.

My heart is beating,

My mind thinks, 

But such empty thoughts flow in my mind,

If I were dead, no difference be.

But still I play my living death, 

Till a day when I draw my final breath,

Look back and see the nothingness,

Look fore and see the emptiness.

They aimed for the Moon...

... and they landed among the stars. I want to congratulate Germany for making it to the semi-finals in the World Cup this year. Germany were not one of the favorites since they were a very young team. Michael Ballack, teh team captain was out with an ankle injury, so Peter Lahm had to step in. Most of the team had no World Cup team whatsoever save for Bastian Schweinsteiger, Peter Lahm, Lucas Podolski and Miroslav Klose. But they totally exceeded expectations, especially Thomas Muller, who, at only the age of twenty scored four goals for his nation. A slap across the face for those who were supporting the big teams like Argentina, England, Italy, France and Brazil. I still feel sweet revenge when I think of that. Perhaps it was because Thomas wasn't playing against Spain that they lost. The magic just wasn't there. But I won't say that Spain are a rotten team. Germany are too good to be beaten by a rotten team. It is an honor to play against the world's best football team, and even if we lost, we didn't loose badly. Germany have gained experience and maturity during this World Cup. And also kudos to Joachim Loew, the Germany coach who lead Germany so far. Next World Cup, Germany will be a force to reckon with. Euro 2010 will show the world how Germany football has improved. Germany no longer only defend. They attack like pro's, though not yet with Spain's level of style and skill, they are near and will surpass given time! Therefore I conclude that World Cup 2010 has been a fruitful campaign for the Germans, and come what may, GERMANY STILL ROCK!!!!!

P.S: In honor of Germany's semi finale finish, I have quit Facebook and shall not return until after PMR.

No Regrets,
CLQ Jasmine.

The following is an album of pictures that depict emotions with no words.

Bingo

Today I skipped CF and went to Zhi Xin's house with Shepard to study Sejarah. Half way through we decided to play another game. It was like Mastermind, only it was called Bingo and was played on the computer. We spent the better part of our day there trying to figure out four numbers. I wonder what is so interesting about it, guessing what the numbers were. Tomorrow is report card day and either one of my parents is going. I really wander what reaction I am going to get for my marks. I myself admit I haven't done my best, or even very well  for the first term, and if I don't buck up, I'll never get my straight A's. I must say that at the rate I am going I am not going to be anywhere close. There is reason to rejoice this foot ball season, and I really hope Germany wins against Argentina. The odds are equal for both teams, I think. Despite Diego Maradona's less then cool tactics and drama filled pitch side acts, I really respect his team. Especially when Lionel Messi is there. But Germany have a record to be beaten. Three world cups and not a single world cup not in the last eight since 19something, I really feel that Germany has what it takes to beat Argentina. While trashing them may be like building castles in the air, winning them is definitely a possibility.
