I have been absent from the blogging world for a long hiatus and finally I had the time to finally sit down by the computer and do a little update with my blog. Due to the constant events popping up, a lot has happened in the pass few months or at least since the last update...
I really have been gone for a period already, haven't I?
Anyway, here are some of the brief high lights:
My 17th Birthday27OCT08
I was given a liberty to plan my own birthday party even though I was so close to having my SPM. As I know I'll be leaving for Down Under anytime soon, I thought it would be really great to have some of my friends over for a little party. And since my dad and elder sister were in Sydney, I only had my mum and younger sister as my guest if my friends werent around. Now, how can a party be great with only 3 people. So in came the reinforcements, which are the original 4,
ME, GERALD, JOEL, CHUN KIT , they are undoubtedly my closest mates through my high school years. I know, I know, I'm going to be very friend-sick when I leave.
The party was planned a few days prior to it and with a hard decision, I finally ended up having dinner in Evergreen Laurel buffet. It turned out to be better than I expected, the food was great, I even got a free cake and also had my meal
ON THE HOUSE! But whatever it is, it is the people that were there to celebrate my day was the important thing.
And also thanks to all those who wished me. It was really awesome. It made my day brighter.
After the party was over, Joel drove us four out for a little drink at Starbucks. Soon after we took a stroll around Gurney Drive. It was really a night to remember. But I really wish there were more people. I would have loved it if everyone could make it, but of course money is of the matter. But to conclude it, it really was a fantastic evening.
SCHOOL GRADUATION31OCT08
Finally, after 5 years of torment in Chung Ling High, I graduated like the rest of the students, with top honours? hahaha, as if. Anyway, the ceremony was simple, just like every other graduation ceremony. Speech after speech by all this "Very Idiotic People"(VIP). After their rumbling on and on, we had to endure a long line of people who have done super well in their studies and are receiving top honours - book vouchers :( Anyway, they werent a bunch of pretty handsome and cool people, so it wasnt interesting at all, not like a fashion show.
But the climax came when we started singing our graduation song and school anthem. Even though I've been in these walls(the school hall) for years, this is by far the best I've heard how the song was sung. It was full of energy, even was just fabulous. Even after the graduation ceremony came to an end, the teachers(MR Lye and MR Yeap) were singing to the students as we slowly joint in.
SPM Examinations11NOV08 - 27NOV08
This is the event that took up most of my time. I was busy mugging - so not me. And I had to wake up early in the morning to go to school when all other students(non-fifth formers) were already on holiday. I was coming back from school when I saw my sister playing play station and I went, "Arent you going to school?"
She replied, "I'm already on holiday!"
Now, that spoiled the mood. hahaha, I totally had ZERO holiday mood, I mean zero. But then time went by fast - the first week was over and then the second and then the third came following too. It was done and over with.
It was rather bearable. Ok, moderate :)
POST-SPM27NOV08 - ???
Right after the last paper, a bunch of us. Me and my friends went out to finally have some fun. I mean real FUN! we went out and catch movies and did shopping.
We watched James Bond. To be honest, if you noticed, it the latest installment, Quantum of Solace, James Bond did not do his trademark "I'm Bond, James Bond!" at all!
Besides that, my cousins are slowly arriving in from overseas for holidays and most importantly Lam Wang Ching's(my cousin) wedding. Prior to the dinner ceremony, I had to bring many of them for shopping. And even bought some stuff for myself. We went shopping non-stop, nearly everyday. From morning till late evenings. But I had ample time, I didnt mind doing it, I loved it *wink*
Lam Wan Ching's Wedding30Nov08 & 6Dec08
Till present time, We've only done the first ceremony which was on the 30 of November. The latter hasnt been done yet and it will be all the way in KL. So all of us over in Penang will be traveling down to the capital.
Everyone wore really nice for the morning tea ceremony and all went according to plan. I was asked to open the door and for that I got a big Ang Pow. Later on, Since the bride's maid will have to create obstacles for the groom and his best men in order for them to claim the bride, one of them was to entertain the guest. I and Jessica came up with some really nice dance moves for the song "Beat It" by Michael Jackson. And all went superb. They got the moves right and proceed to other task.
Some were easy, some were torment! but luckily, I'm on the brides side of the family. So we watch them do all those stupid task. I wonder during my wedding, what will I gotta do?
Anyway they got the bride at last and the afternoon was left to get ready for the night ceremony.
At the night ceremony, everyone wore really glamorous, I mean everyone pointing to our family - my uncles & aunts, parents, cousins. Seriously, we look like celebrities when we entered the restaurant.
During the ceremony, good food was served. Besides that the music selection was good, that it got our aunties and uncles up on their feet and dance on the dance floor. We cousins too joint in the fun!
As the night slowly came to a conclusion, it was really nice.......
