Today was not supposed to end this way.... It was supposed to be a day of people proud of me! But then it turned out totally out of proportion! Seriously..... I try so hard! To please you and to feel like I belong. Why is it so hard to say what I feel out loud? It sounded so good in my head..... Why can't I just say it out? It could have solved the problem! It would have solved it.... I'm too weak! Can't say it out without voice breaking and tears falling.... Hate this side of me!

How long has it been?

2011-10-29T16:07:00.003+08:00

Omg!!! How ever long has it really been?
8 freaking months? haha..... That's just crazy! I've been doing nothing for almost a year.... Well, other than that one month in September where I was in college. Yes, one month! 4 weeks to be exact. I've attended college for a month.

To sum all my 8 months, nothing happened actually.....

March,My best friend since I was like maybe 6,7 left me and moved to THE Big Apple. My Elmi and Erica Yeboah left in March to New York City,Brooklyn. Were there at the airport to send them away. I just sprained my ankle and had to walk with a crutch. It was so difficult AND tiring. Cried a lot that day.... Hope someday we'll meet again. But we do skype from time to time. It was Vern's birthday when my ankle was STILL sprained.... haha! Had a lot of friends that helped me a lot. Took quite some time for me to actually walk again. But it's all good now..... I've recently just started running again. Sometimes when I hit my ankle on something hard it still hurts.... So I have to be extra careful.

April and May,nothing happened much really..... Was still bumming at home! Doing nothing and asking for money.... Hahaha! I know! It sounds bad..... Real bad!
All I did was go out with friends for lunches,dinners,movies, and shopping! Feel stupid thinking back..... But it was definitely fun at that time! Looking back,I feel like I've wasted so much time....

June,was definitely my month! My birthday was so much fun.... But not on the day itself though. We celebrated early.... Had a really small party at home and it was really memorable! Loved my friends for coming..... But well,on the day of my birthday itself, not so much! We had a vacation every year with some of our close friends in Fraser Hill. The vacation was great but we didn't celebrate my birthday so it was kinda disappointing.... But the trip was great! Went to tons of places and the weather up there was just fantastic!!! Love it there..... Hope to go again next year.

July and August was kind of a stressful few months for me! Finally got to me how little time I have and was rushing everything so I could get into the right course and college. Was really difficult for me to choose..... Whether to decide between whats general,easy,and straight forward which is Business or Mass Communication and Photography which I really love! Mom wanted me to take Business..... But what she doesn't know is that it's not what I like or even,who I am! So it was really a struggle between doing what I like and what she wants me to like! It was a really difficult time for me....

September! I finally know what I want(Mass Comm),and started my Certificate course. Which lasts for a month. It was really tricky because I needed to take it but it is also a Business studies course..... So it was a little difficult for me to follow. But it has all ended now... Which I'm so grateful of! Found a few really fun friends. One of which will take the same course with me. Quite excited for diploma to start.

October. Holiday AGAIN! Yes.... I can't believe it either! keke..... But that's what happened. Diploma was supposed to start in the beginning of November but then the school contacted me and said that Mass Comm will be delayed to December because of the shortage of students enrolling. Definitely made me really nervous..... Because it's not going well at all! I really don't want to wait anymore.... And I'm afraid that they might delay it again! I'm praying really hard that it will commence in December.... And to make it even worse,I lost my iPod Touch. Like seriously October is not my month at all! Was so disappointed in myself for not taking care of my stuff carefully! Cannot blame anyone but me!

Well,as for now,2 more days till November and I'm still hoping and praying really hard that Diploma will really start in December as they planned. Don't want anything to fall apart anymore.... Will really break my heart! Been working for an uncle from church for about 3 weeks. Just some paper works and stuff.... Get some experience in life! haha.... Take my mind of the bad things thats happened. But I know they all happened for a reason! For something bigger to happen. I really do believe it..... I know He has a way in doing things and these set backs are just the beginning! Better and bigger things are about to happen.

Keke.... That's about all that I have to say today. Been good typing again..... Lets just hope I continue! haha..... Didn't know how to start again so I just thought I'd give a run through of what's been happening for the past few months! Bye for now..... :)

OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING TO ME....

2011-03-10T23:04:00.001+08:00

So guess what? I freaking sprained my ankle.... It hurt so bad! Went for a walk with my mom in the morning and we were kinda fooling around and I landed into the side of the concrete and sprained my leg.... Went to the doctor yesterday and it was terrifying! Cried all the way.... But the doctors were friendly! They were cracking jokes the whole time twisting my ankle.... Haha! I just hope I can I can walking again. It kills me to not be able to walk at all.... Makes me feel useless. I'm never goin to take anything for granted ever again. For it to happen at a time like this makes me so depressed.... Was supposed to be at a friends farewell! They moving to another country and I've never seen them for so long... I miss them so much. And then Japan happened. Things are not going well at all.... Pray that everything will get back to normal again.

movie with my sisters....

2011-03-07T16:05:00.001+08:00

I'm at jusco right now waiting for my movie to start.... And as I was tweeting about my whereabouts, Diana came asking what movie I was watching.... So I told her it was I Am Number Four! By Alex Pettyfer.... With my other sister Vern! Then Diana told me she was watching with Jane.... Also a movie by Alex Pettyfer. Beastly.... How fun it is! To have a movie day with all four sisters in different states.... Haha

-Joann

wow.... I'm loving the new APP

2011-03-06T19:25:00.001+08:00

I found this application in my iPod where I can blog to my blogspot.... Haha! This is so cool.... This way,I can start blogging again.... I know I've been neglecting my blog for a long time! But now with this app,I'm gonna start getting into the blogging world again.... So spread the word because I'm back!

-Joann

OMG

2011-01-20T22:32:00.002+08:00

Wow.... How long have I not posted anything? I wonder how I've became so lazy.... I used to practically blog everyday! Even a few posts in a day.... LOL! But now,I post up a short post in a few months..... Everything has changed! I'm not that naive girl that everybody likes anymore! I'm that person that everybody hates.... I've become a nuisance to a lot of people! haha..... I'm just going to stop all that nonsense! I'm not gonna look depressed! Although I may be.... LOL!

Well,a few of my posts were about how I've done my SAT test and everything is doing well! So,I did already get my results and they're not bad..... Not good either! Just above passing scores..... haha! I'm kinda disappointed actually..... I expected to get better than that! But what can you do? I just have to blame myself for not working hard enough... And that I didn't rely on Him more than I should have!

On another note,I've graduated high school..... And right now,I'm just slacking around the house and doing nothing at all! Went looking for a few part time jobs but I'm too picky.... So maybe after Chinese New Year I'll try again! I'm currently looking for a college in the U.S. I really want this opportunity to be able to go overseas and have a good education..... And to be able to be taken seriously. So people would see me as a responsible person!

Wow..... I've been babbling! My apologies.... I just love typing! It's been a long time since I've done all that typing! haha.... It's late now! So I better get off..... :)

2010-11-12T21:46:00.001+08:00

Guess now I know how you feel about me! Dissatisfaction..... I'm not stupid you know! Don't think that I can't feel how you feel about me all this time.... I don't know how much you dislike me but I don't understand why you can do and say such a thing! Don't you think that you're actually saying really hurtful things to us? Saying so bluntly that we are not part of your plan? That you did not plan for us to go out together.... I really thought you're a good friend and that we would be inseparable.... I guess I was wrong! I thought our friendship will go far.... I liked what we had!

How I feel!

2010-10-27T23:26:00.000+08:00

The truth is,I miss you! I miss talking and laughing with you.... I miss making fun of each other. I don't know what happened! Maybe because you found some new friends or you think that we are not worthy to be your friends.... I don't know if you became our friend just for someone or whatever,but doesn't that friendship mean something to you?

Hello there!

2010-10-27T00:08:00.005+08:00

Noticed anything different? Yes.....the pictures are different! They are edited in a totally different style than pictures that I've ever posted before.... Why? Because it's the new application..... From where? My IPod!!! hahahah...... It's almost like my phone already. I bring it to everywhere I go..... My favorite toy till date! LOL.....okay! Maybe I'm exaggerating a little.... But I totally am psyched!

Oh and by the way, I just finished my SAT test couple of weeks ago,and I think I did great..... Not in a "I'm gonna get so high marks I can't believe it" way but like "I'm gonna totally pass it" kind.... LOL! I have a good feeling about it..... But you'll never know what the outcome would really be. You might be disappointed,or you may be proud of yourself.... Either way, I'm just glad that it's all over! Results are going to be out on Thursday online..... I don't know if I wanna go check the results or not. Maybe I should just wait till they send my results to my address.... I'm still kinda debating about it in my head! Planned to check them with my other friend,but plans are off.... Apparently,someone else is more important than his results I suppose.....

Anyhow,I'm gonna just keep praying and hope for the best! Whatever happens there is a reason..... He's going to control everything that happens in my life. He's going to be my hope for living. I Love You!!!

BACK FROM CHINA!!!

2010-09-22T12:11:00.003+08:00

I officially love Malaysian weather!!! OMG..... The weather in China,GuangZhou is hot hot hot! It was freaking hot..... No air,no wind,just heat. We would just sweat when we get off the car. But the place was a lot of fun. And the food..... Everything is delicious. Except for the turtles,pigeons,jungle rats, and cow intestines. Arghh..... I hated all of it!

The people in China is very interesting.... Though in China,they all speak Cantonese! Dad's friend from China were very helpful and friendly.... They helped us so much! Though they had to work,their boss still gave them leave to take us around GuangZhou. Went to Fashan where the famous Ip Man used to live....

The driving there is crazy! Everyone just cuts a car after another.... They would ignore the traffic light. Every car would horn once every time they turn a corner.... It was freaking crazy! haha.....

Get to visit some sites.... Went to the zoo! It was amazing....almost all the type of animals were there! We went to ShenZhen and went to the Windows of the World... It is where all the famous sites for the world were there. So we practically went all around the world already.... We traveled around the world in 3 hours! LOL.....hahhhaha!

Overall,other than the weather,we had tons of fun.....bought a lot of snacks! Met all kinds of people.... Funny people,rude people,kind people,warm people! Will definitely like a chance to go again! To visit my granduncle and his family...

Be Thankful!

2010-09-09T22:18:00.001+08:00

because it means you have a home;

2010-09-04T15:33:00.006+08:00

Hi....It's been long! Been very busy....hehe! But now, it's the holidays!!! So sure very free.... Today is only the 1st day of holiday I'm already too free to blog! LOL..... Nothing much! Just desperately needed to update my blog.

Holidays starts! No plans to go anywhere at all....
Wanna go Melaka with family but they are all too busy!
With church,work,
And then when they are free,
We have camp! Haiz....
Wanna go back to Klang to go shopping with Jane but she's very busy with her work!
This holiday kinda sucks!

Hopefully this year's school camp is soon!
Lets just hope that they plan this well....
No mishaps like the last time.
Everything well planned....
Not like how it was last time.
Everything kinda sucked the last time we had camp!
Bad food,bad place,bad accommodations,bad childish games.
At least the company was good...
Good friends.....
I think this year would be awesome!
Though some off our friends are not here anymore....

OK! I'm babbling now....
Sorry for keeping you busy with my gila talk! hahaha.....
Just thought I should update...
Even without knowing what to say
Didn't even get ready! heheh....
I'll see you guys real soon! ...... Hopefully!

-Joann

Whatever that is happening....(more to come)

2010-08-09T23:57:00.005+08:00

2010-08-08T00:26:00.002+08:00

Hey...Long time no see! I don't think anyone comes here anymore... But I'm still gonna continue writing! Who knows.... Someone might randomly come here! ha.....

So,what have I got to say? Well,many things are happening right now.... I don't even know where to start. Except maybe that I'm starting my SAT preparations already. I'm taking tuition and I'm staying back at school to study...

Life has been really hectic! Nothing much that I can remember actually... But mom just got back from Korea. For the Prayer Mountain camp.

Oh and I almost forgot.... Diana brought her boyfriend back last month. And it was fun..... Dad didn't really make the effort though. He was even more friendly to my classmate than he was to his potential future-son-in-law! We'll just have to continue praying... Did I mention that he's Indonesian? AND he's a pastor? Yeah.... Cool I know! They met when Diana was at the mission trip teaching English to some kids....

Well,something shocking did happen! As of yesterday,I am officially the only one single in our family. Everyone is somehow caught in a relationship... I guess there are good parts and some bad parts. But I'm enjoying being alone. I enjoy having the total freedom to do whatever whenever.... I do feel lonely sometimes! But it's okay.... Right now what I have to concentrate on is my SAT test. I've officially finished on my History & Geography.... And I'm working on the last book of Bible! I only have 4 subjects left now.... I'm glad something is really gonna happen! I'm really going to graduate this year.... I no longer have to worry that I'm slacking behind everyone my age!

I should get to bed now.... Before I fall asleep at service tomorrow! Nitez....

-Joann

Say Cheese!!!

2010-06-26T23:57:00.004+08:00

Got this instant camera about a week ago! Got some amazing shots already.... I think it's going to be my best investment ever! But everything else is quite expensive... The films are crazy expensive! And hard to get too...

June is ending. Didn't do much at school..... But more that I thought I would. Diana's bringing her boyfriend with Jane to JB this week. I'm really exited. I wanna get to know him more... And I'm quite nervous. Because I think dad don't really approve of this relationship.... I really pray that he would accept him when he gets here! Hope that they get along well.....

I've officially registered for SAT test. It's going to be on the 9th of October. I'm exited and sick to the stomach at the same time.... Time really do flies away in a blink of an eye! It's been 5 years since I've moved to JB. It's been 6 years since I've started homeschooling..... Everything is happening so quickly. I'm going to college very soon. I'm moving back to Klang very soon.

I just hope that I can be really serious about my school work. And not procrastinate anymore. And be more mature in doing everything. Not being offended so easily.... It's going to be very hard for the next 3 months and I just pray that everything will go well! That I won't have stomach crams on the day of the test like every other tests. That I won't be sick. That we'll get there in time,that we'll remember to bring all the things that we're supposed to. Like I said,I'm exited and sick to the stomach at the same time!

-Joann

Is that how you feel??

2010-06-21T20:17:00.003+08:00

Being the outcast is not a good feeling!
Don't you think I know that already?
You thought I like being an outcast?
That I like being alone ALL THE TIME?
No one does....

-Joann

Where? Where? Where?

2010-06-20T15:08:00.003+08:00

Where the heck have you been?
I've been waiting and waiting.... I missed you!
I went crazy when you came back....
But now you're going again?
Must you leave me like that?
This is absurd.... I won't be able to take it anymore!
Stop going away without a word.

-Joann

2010-06-17T19:30:00.002+08:00

Just got back from Klang and it was relaxing....
It was my birthday week so all of my friends and family celebrated with me!
Had a gathering in JB with some friends. It was nice to meet some friends that I seldom see.
Got to catch up with some of them. Got some amazing presents.... Some perfume,a G-string, a hand made jewelry box,a hot red purse, 2 piece of cakes and some chocolates. By the way,thanks guys.

Headed back to Klang and visited my grandma.... She looked a lot better than before! Looking very healthy despite the fact that she turns 90 this year. My birthday was fine..... Went to have seafood with the family. Mom bought me a Dorothy Perkins dress,dad gave me some cash. Thought the sisters got me nothing when Diana got me some durian kuihs. But turns out she bought me a Mango red purse.... And then Jane brought us out and got me and Vern some hot headphones. Thank You! I love my family....

Got a chance to go out with Elmi and Erica too.... It has been so long since we went out together! I think the last time was 2 years ago.... Literally! Coincidentally,it was also for my birthday... Elmi got me some earrings. And when we were having lunch, Vern and Erica sneaked to the 'bathroom' to get me some light up again candles and Big Apple doughnuts. It was very surprising.... Did not expect anything at all. Love them to bits! And the candles.... OMG! They just won't go out.... They keep lighting again it was embarrassing. Stayed over night at their place..... It was so much fun! We got to do things we never did before....

Went for some cycling with Jane and it was torture.... I didn't had any breakfast and Jane decided to go the more difficult road and I thought I was going to have a heart attack. It was so exhausting! But lots of fun.... Had some kimchi soup at some place and it was really spicy! But cheap too..... Will definitely be going again!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my family and friends for this wonderful week! I had so much fun.... Thanks for all the surprises and presents for my birthday. Love you all very much.... xoxo

-Joann

Yellooooo!

2010-06-02T20:28:00.003+08:00

Hahahhaha..... OK! I know that's a lame title but hey....
I'm just freaking bored. Been feeling very moody this few days.
Don't know whats wrong with me..... Been very emotional.
Feel like crying every time something happens.
Watched a dog get killed slowly made me sob like when I was 7 and mom comes chasing after me with the cane.
If you're not the emotional type and watch that video I think you'll tear up.
Freaking people with no compassion....
Can't they at least get them to the pound and see if anyone wants to adopt them before killing them?

Enough with all that crappy emotional stuff....
Holidays are coming in exact 2 more days.
I'm smelling the freedom! So many plans but I think it'll not be enough....
It will never be. Guess I'm just never gonna be satisfied with anything.
Going back to Klang,meeting some old friends for Cameron,meeting up with Nicole,
Going out everyday.... shopping! OMG.... Cannot wait for all of it.
Wants to get some fresh strawberries.....

I learned something today.
And I think it'll be very useful in the future.
When I'm taking a test,
Or when I'm just doing something important
Or even something that's not really important.
A few classes had to get the mid term test this week
And some of us that aren't taking the test had to help out.
We were supposed to just supervise them
While taking the tests.
For three days we have to stand there for hours and just walk around so that we wouldn't find anyone cheating.
The grade of my class compared to theirs is a little higher so maybe I understood some of the questions of the tests.
And I would just walk around and peek at their answers and compare them with the other answers from other students.
And as I was just watching them,I find that all them were not really serious at all.
I don't know what they're thinking going into the test being not ready at all.
For about 20 students I guess only about 2 or 3 are serious about them.
They either do not know the answer or are so very careless with their answers.
They got the methods right but the answers wrong.
Whats worse is that they would just not answer the question at all and skip it.
I feel very disappointed about what is going on with them.
They don't have the urgency at all to graduate.
They are so far behind their age and still not be serious about the work.
I feel that I have not been serious about my studies....
That I'm neglecting everything that's really important to me.
I'm just beginning to realize now how little time I have left.
I need to step on it. I need to have action rather just a voice saying that I will!
I need change. Just like how I think they need change.
That there are no difference between me and them.

hahhahahhahah!
I've been babbling! Sorry.... I understand if you didn't read the whole thing!
I'm just loving the feeling to type again.
The tapping of the keyboards. LOL.....
Gonna go now! Before I start typing none stop again.
Bye.....

Haven't been blogging for such a long time and I think I should start again.... Just hanging around Jusco Starbucks and so I thought this would be a good time to blog. It has been a couple of busy months. In just a blink of and eye,it's now May. Very unbelievable... Time is flying away too quickly and there is not much time left. I'm beginning to just realize that. I'm 18 now. Not 16 anymore. I don't have any time more to waste. I'm taking my SAT this year and I need to step up on my game.

We've been so busy lately.... Going back to Klang even though it was a school day,shopping everyday,and then Jane came to JB,shopping again at Singapore,and then missing school again! School has been hectic! So many birthdays to celebrate,so many events! Mother's Day,Teacher's Day,and soon Father's Day! Where am I going to get all the money for the gifts? Got to spend less from now onwards.

Got to go offline now... So I'll update again soon! Love you all who still reads my blog....

This week has been nice! It has been peaceful... Genting trip was fantastic! I had so much fun..... Everything was so exiting and new to me.

The first day that we were there,we reached in the afternoon. Met Joanna's friends and they walked us around the place since they've been there for a couple of days..... They told us where to go to have our meals,to walk to the theme park,and the arcades. Everything there is very expensive.... Like 5 dollars more than normal. And the fast food's price rose too..... I thought they were standard prices. But obviously,it wasn't.

First day we went to the arcade and played for hours.... Trying to get those redemption tickets. Spent a lot of our money there and is kinda embarrassed to tell you guys. Spent the rest of the night at Starbucks just talking and laughing. Went on Facebook on the PSP,and talked until really late. On the first night itself we had tons of fun....

On the second day,we met with Joanna's other friend which works at the First World Hotel to get the super cheap theme park tickets. He got us in with 30% discount. And then as we got in there,we started with the mildest roller coaster.... And from there,we went to the most thrilling ones. I was terrified at first. But as I got to play more,I started to get very exited. And we met Kenyon(friend who works there) for dinner and we went back to the arcade again to finish our game. Won a snow man soft toy. Went for the 4 Division show and it was s.c.a.r.y.! It wasn't like ghosts or anything,but it's just scary because things just suddenly pop right in front of you with that 3D glasses and the seat is moving along with the show which makes it hard to not scream. It was fun though.... What's hilarious is that Vern was so scared of our screams that she thought it was ghosts,and she was literally closing her ears and shutting her eyes and her head was bent down almost to her knees.

Third day was very tiring because we spent another night at Starbucks again along with Kenyon and we only slept for a few hours. Shopped a little and hopped on the bus and almost slept through the way....

Overall,it was a lot of fun. We're definitely going to go again.... Maybe with some more friends. Maybe next trip,Tioman. Can't wait!

Pictures are at Facebook. Loves.....

Holidays for a week has come to and end and I'm quite satisfied with what I've done for the week. Paintball was painful,bowling was fun,sleepover was awesome craziness..... I had so much fun! Except that Vern didn't like the gifts that we got her. Which I loved so much.... Two G-strings and a very cute little lamp!

Friday was a day of reuniting with some old friends. Everyone was there..... Talked for hours! Shopped,and talked again. It was a great day to talk tot hem again! I loved seeing them again.....

Mom has left today for Jakarta. Meanwhile,I have a week of Freedom! And that was totally what I needed.... School starts in 2 more days and I have to get ready.

Oh yeah...uh huh uh huh!!!

2010-03-13T16:48:00.002+08:00

Went for steamboat buffet yesterday with some classmates and teachers. It was surprisingly fun.... Never expected it. Took tons of pictures. Ate for a very long time.... Talked a lot and laughed a lot also! The food is amazing.... It is also very clean. The price is not too expensive,and there's also music! Good music.... Very impressive! Should go there again sometime....

Holidays has started and I'm very excited for this week.Vern's early birthday celebration is in a few more days,we're gonna have a paintball match.... Must really hurt! It'll be so much fun. Regardless of the blue-black marks that we're gonna get,I'm so psyched.

And in two more weeks,we're going to Genting Highland with a few friends. No parents. Just us friends hanging around the machines..... We're gonna ride the bus and through cable car.

As all you have heard,SPM results are out and you may ask how did I do for the test? Well,I don't know.... Why?....you ask? Because I didn't take the test. So for your information,I'm still in high school. And that is just so depressing. All of my ex classmates has started college,assignments and I'm still here with no certificate or whatsoever. Still stuck at high school.... Feeling very down despite all the plans that I have for this week.

Nonetheless,I'm not going to give up just because I'm a lot behind everyone my age. I'm going to be a positive person with His guidance. I'm going to try my hardest to graduate as soon as possible. I'm going to study very hard for my SAT test to get high marks. Yes! This is what I am going to do.... :)

Taylor Lautner is still so HOT!

Eclipse Trailer is out! And Jacob Black is still so so HOT.... And I think they made Edward lok a tiny bit less pale. Which would definitely be a good thing.

Till the next time.....

These are a few of the pictures that we took during Chinese New Year..... I had a blast! It was a lot of fun. Gained like 2 kgs.... School is going crazy! So much work in so little time.... But is handling it quite well. Can't get any more worse.... Life's good!

Found this paintball range like 3 minutes away from school.... So exited and can't wait to go shoot some people one day! Maybe we'll go in a school trip.... P.Amy already said yes! I'm superbly anxious and exited to go. Jane,when are you gonna come? Lets go and shoot each other.... We'll be a good team against Vern! haha.....

Down's syndrome is not an illness because people with down's syndrome do not need medication to make them better, what they need is the right to be accepted by society the same as everyone else... 93% of my friends will NOT copy this... Will you be one of the 7% that does copy this and put it as your status and leave i............t for at least one hour in aid of Down's Syndrome Awareness.

My year!

2010-02-03T18:43:00.002+08:00

It's February and in two more weeks it'll be Chinese New Year!!! I'm extremely exited.... To get to wear new clothes,to get ang pau,to meet family and friends,to have holidays and to watch FIREWORKS! I really love fireworks.... Especially when they're right in front of you. I wanna play dress up and go have the so very famous Ipoh dim sum.... And then visit all the family members which we do not meet regularly.

School has been awesome! I love the feeling of accomplishing all the goals of the day. It's really working..... I know I can graduate this year. I just need to work harder not only at school but also at home..... I have to know that I'm already 18,which is a lot behind those who took SPM last year. People keep reminding me it's like I don't know what's going on. But I do.... And am even more clearer when they keep telling you. Which is kinda good because with that reminder in my head I'll strive harder and eventually achieve what I'm been working hard for. This is going to be my year! I know it.....

Life is like a kite on a string

2010-01-26T20:32:00.003+08:00

You see, life is like a kite..
Its not always that easy to fly one...
Especially to get one flying up so high...
Sometimes life is going very nicely, the winds are favoring you...
You let life go on its own... you release the kite...
Sometimes life starts turning bad... the winds stops...
We try to control our life so that it doesn't fall...
Well sometimes life falls to the ground...
Yet we pick ourselves up and try to fly it back again...
It may take a couple of times to start up again...
Just don't give up, soon life will fly again...
You see, there are many kites flying around,
Some go very high, some not as high.
In life, there are some people who are more successful than others,
We cant change the fact that our strings are at its end...
But we do know that we have climbed to our summit...
And at the end of the day...
however successful we are,
We still have to decline gracefully to meet our maker in heaven..

Went out with some friends from the Taiwan tour yesterday. Met at Jusco and had a very super long lunch at Manhattan! It was like we had lunch and then continued on to dinner..... We talked for almost 5 hours. And I'm not exaggerating... I had fun. Mom had more fun! Bought some New Chinese New Year clothes before the gathering and I'm loving them..... School is starting to give us stress already and it's really helping me in school. Everyone is supposed to do at least 3 tests a day and if you don't do them,you'll pull down the whole class and get punishment. It's really working..... Though sometimes one or two students couldn't finish them all. This few weeks I've done so many books you can't imagine. I'm really proud of myself..... It's really pushing me a little. But I just hope that I could do some homeworks at home. I'm still slacking a little.....

Chinese New Year is only 3 more weeks away and I'm supper exited! I love CNY.... Not just because of the ang paus but also the time we get to spend with family and friends. Plus,holiday! I'm so psyched right now..... Can't wait for the event!

I'm going to miss her so damn much! I remember when she got here. We were forced to sit with this annoying girl and we always talk about it and just make fun about it..... I remember making tons of origamies with rubbish papers and playing Bingo! Doing retarded stuff we would just laugh so much.... I miss those things that we do together! I miss sitting with you..... I miss laughing with you without caring who is staring at us. I miss us! Not in the boy girl way..... haha! I'm really going to miss you a lot... Lets not lose contact okay.... Lets not forget about each other and make sure we still talk after you leave. Lets make sure that we are still good friends even after 10 years. Lets make sure that we attend each others wedding! Lets make sure that we're going to be each others children's god mother.... Lets continue to be friends! Lets continue to do whatever we're doing now in years to come..... Even after we're to old to do those childish stuff! Love ya tons..... Muax muax!!

School has started and it's the 3rd day of school.... So many students have left and so many new students are taking their places! Everything changed in school..... Nothing is the same anymore. The teachers changed,the class changed,the environment changed! We share classes with the guys now.... And we have class by year! Everything is totally different from before.... I don't know if it's a good change or a bad change. But we'll just make the best of it. I'm starting my SAT preparation soon. Hopefully I could get it done by May..... Praying really hard! Need to start my tuition with teacher soon..... Gotta get it all done before June! That's 1 of my 2 resolution for this year.... One of the very simple one. This year it's gonna be about my studies..... Nothing else! It's just gonna be between me and God accomplishing my goal. I can feel this is going to be an amazing year.... I can't wait for everything to go the way I want it to be!

This Is My Year!!!!

It's the end of 2009!!!

OMG.... How the hell did that happen?
I really cannot believe that I'm 18 years old already.
Next year is going to be very different!
It's going to be crazy.
It's going to be insane!
I'm very exited and nervous at the same time.....
Exited about starting a new year,
About doing different things for one,
And getting things right again for another.
I'm really scared about going back to school.....
Because I did nothing during this month of holiday....Literally!
But it's a beginning of a new year.
I've made a decision to be really hard working this year.
To graduate before June.
I'll be able to do it! I will......
A new year will bring me to greater achievements!
I can feel it in my bones already!

So,Happy New Year to all of you!

Happy Happy Christmas!!!

2009-12-23T00:16:00.008+08:00

I've been missing from long posts for quite some time and I'm just too lazy! I've been going out a lot this few weeks... I think I gotta stop at some point and just stay at home and do some homework.

Met up with Shannon yesterday..... They were at the clubhouse of my garden and I thought maybe we could catch up a little. I had fun talking to her again.... All the old happy memories came rushing through my veins.

Went for badminton early in the morning with Joanna and Linna today.... Was too lazy to play and just wasted time! Went for Christmas dinner today and the food in Yew's Cafe in Molek is just delicious.... Though they're kinda pricey. And then we went to Linna's condo and played a little of basketball with Jing Hong. Exchanged gifts and I love what they got me.... Though two of them got me the exact same cup. Love them though.... Thanks guys!

Dad came back last night from China. And he bought all of his precious daughters a phone..... I love mine! Though it wasn't the one that I wanted. I'm still loving it.... At least it's better than using mom's old phone!

Christmas is just a few more days away and I'm really exited! Will be going back to Klang and I'll get to meet up with Elmi and the Yeboah's!

Loving life as it is..... No matter how good or bad,I'm grateful.

Got my car back today and I'm driving manual again..... This time,I have more confidence! After driving auto for a few months I think I finally got the hang of things and life.

A few days ago, a girl in my class asked what a terrorist was. As we all looked at her in disbelief, the guy next to me says, "Oh my god you're so dumb. A terrorist is like if I go to China, then I'm a terrorist." The teacher then looked at him and said, "You mean tourist right?" MLIA.

Today, I went into a store with my little sister. I left her alone for a second, and then I heard a crash. I turned around to see a mannequin on the ground and my sister standing over it. I asked her what happen she said, "She pushed me first!" MLIA

Today, I heard a loud gasp and a "WHAT THE..." from my brother's room. Being slightly interested in what was going on, I walked into his room and asked him what happened. His response? "Elf and The Chronicles of Narnia are BOTH on and I can't figure out which to watch." Glad to know that I wasn't the only one who had this problem. MLIA.

Today my family and I got on an elevator. We were kind of just talking to ourselves when 10 min later, my sister says "uhh is the elevator stuck or something? We've been in here for a while." Turns out, no one bothered to press the button to go to the lobby and we were just standing in the elevator with the door closed. MLIA.

Today, my friend and I decided to IM each other in all capital letters. We had been at this for about an hour when my mom asked me a question. I accidentally shouted at her. MLIA

Tonight, at Thanksgiving dinner, my uncle passed his four year old daughter some turkey. She refused it, and grabbed a bowl of fruit. He asked her, "aren't you a carnivore?" She responded, "no! I'm a fruity-whore!" MLIA.

Today I met my mom's new boyfriend and his son at thanksgiving. His name is Drake. My name is Josh. Obviously, it's meant to be. MLIA.

Foooooookittt as Jane call it!

2009-12-14T02:06:00.001+08:00

Taylor Lautner is HOT!

2009-12-09T00:25:00.003+08:00

Ok....I know I made a very dramatic post yesterday and I'm still at Klang! But I really am leaving tomorrow..... And we've gotten the bus tickets already. So,no more bailing.

Watched New Moon today..... Well,actually I've been waiting to watch it with friends at JB and we've talked about it for a year. But I checked the dates for Jusco at JB and tomorrow will be the last day it's on theater. So we decided to watch it separately..... And so,you know how Twilight sucked so badly? Well New Moon,is actually kinda not bad. Not bad is all I can say.... It's not good,but it's not bad also. Maybe because I had such high expectations on Twilight and when it didn't go well,it sucked so badly. So before we went to watch New Moon,my expectations are like really really low. And I's really better than Twilight. Now I'm exited about Eclipse..... lol! Hopefully my friends are not too angry at me for watching it without them. Sorry ya,Joanna.

One more thing. Did I ever mention to you that Taylor Lautner is like HOT? Ya.... I've hated the first movie for one reason is that the actors suck too. Especially Robert Pattinson's stupid pale face. And in New Moon,he still looks palely ugly.... But when it came to the part when Jacob became a werewolf,and he cut his hair,he looked totally HOT! Like I was literally screaming inside of myself.... OMG! I'm having a slight crush on him right now....LOL

-Joann

My heavy heart calls out!

2009-12-08T04:00:00.002+08:00

I'm leaving JB in a few more hours and we planned to not sleep and wait till McD breakfast is out and will ride the bus home to JB..... It's going to be a very tiring day! I so don't feel like leaving. After meeting with Elmi and Erica today,all the more do I not want to leave. And then came supper with a bunch of friends..... Oh shit! I don't know what to do. But I know if I don't go back now I'll be stuck on my homework. And I already promised my friends at JB to watch New Moon with them..... I'm seriously thinking about living and studying here. But I know if I do,I'll just have too much fun and forget about everything else. I also have a dental check up and practice for Sunday. Seriously.... I'm leaving with a real heavy heart! And then there goes Jane asking us not to leave. Like really,2 Janes asking us to stay. Jane Chong and Elizabeth Jane. But I can't leave mom alone for so long. Dad's leaving for China again in a few more days and I can't just be so selfish and leave mom alone at JB.

I'm kinda used to living in Klang already. Getting up in the afternoon,and then if we planned to go somewhere I'll drink a cup of shake and then eat later. And we'll just shop and shop..... And as we leave we'll get a cup of grande Starbucks just to get a chop for the 2010 planner. And I've got mine today already..... I totally enjoyed my trip. The best ever I have to say. So many weeks without mom has been fun. Though I'm missing her,I don't know whether I remember how to handle her or not. Don't give me that look and I know everyone DEALS with their parents in their own way. Yes,DEAL. Well,lets just hope that she's having a good day and not start lecturing us the moment we get into the car. Though I know she loves us a hell lot! And I love her too....

And thanks to you my sisters for taking care of us. Though I resent that word,'take care' because I'm already 17. And I don't need taking care of,though you need to keep asking if I've bathed or not,or if I've eaten. Lets call it 'accompany.' Thank you guys for accompanying us for this past 2 weeks more. I love the company and truly wish to not leave but we have to. And I hope to be able to spend more time with you guys as soon as possible. I really loved this trip. I love coming home to Klang. I hate to admit that I'm living in JB now and that I'm just visiting but it really felt like home this time after so long. I've always felt like coming to Klang is just a trip because of the short amount of time coming here..... And after spending almost 3 weeks here I feel home again. I feel safe in this home again! Love you guys jie..... and I'm going to miss you guys so damn much. It'll take us some time until we can be used to living in JB again.

Cycling

2009-12-03T23:24:00.000+08:00

Went cycling on Monday morning with Jane and Vern. Well,it was also when mom and Diana came back from Turkey. We were all so surprised because we thought they would be back by night. But still,we went on our schedule. I was actually very exited to go. I've never been cycling in a park before..... We prepared sandwiches and icy juices. When we got there,the first thing that happened was that I slipped and fell on my hurt buttock from the other day's skating. And I also hurt my arm..... It was in such a good timing. I thought I was going to be in pain through the whole time cycling. Chose our bicycles and guess what? I chose a bad one and had a really bad time going up hill because the bike keep changing gears. But the place was really beautiful. It's in the middle of a jungle. And it wasn't hot.... Very windy. It was raining for about an hour so we went to a pondok to seat around and talked. Vern finished her sandwiches there. We talked about the Twilight Saga. I had so much fun talking about them. Continued cycling and went to this beautiful river thing and me and Jane had our sandwiches...... It was very relaxing. Camwhored a little bit and cycled back. This is such a good exercise. I'm gonna go again soon.... One bad thing was that because I haven't been exercising for a long time so when I got back my arm hurts from the fall,my knee hurts from cycling too hard and my ankle hurts too. But I'm loving it.... I'm trying to pull out the adventure side off of me.

Well,mom is back, Dad came back yesterday and they've gone back to JB today. We didn't because we're having a lot of fun here and wants to spend s little more time with Jane and Diana. We're gonna ride the bus home to JB on Tuesday. Going to a music concert on Monday with Elmi and Erica..... Maybe spend more time with Jane before we leave. I'm having so much fun with her. Didn't thought that I would want to stay here more.... Can't think about leaving her. Hurts.... There will be no more fun. May be going out with friends but it wouldn't be like with Jane..... Hope we could spend some time with Diana too. She's been losing out a lot on out outings.....

-Joann

2009-11-30T22:21:00.003+08:00

Ice-skating was very painful. But it wasn't torture.... kinda fun. It was very scary. Always feeling anxious of falling on that icy floor. I didn't know what to do at first. Was just holding to the bar at the side and just feeling jealous of the sisters for skating so smoothly in the middle. Then after a while I got better and just skated very slowly but not holding on to the handle anymore. It got better then. And then as I was skating very carefully,some idiot guy came and hit me and I fell. He's a guy who doesn't know how to skate and wears a very loose skating shoe. He kept falling every 30 second. He didn't even say sorry! I let it go... But when my Jane said we're gonna go for one last round before we leave and wants to hold my hand and lead me, she skated so quickly and I lose my balance and fell again! This time,it's hurts so badly..... Came back home with a blue-black mark! I don't think I'm gonna go again anytime soon..... But,it was fun!

And guess who we met while we were shopping? Some friends that we had lost contact for about 10 years,aunty Pellita and his sons,Timothy and Jed. Talked a little bit and I realized that we've grown. Like we've all grown.... Doing our own stuffs. I remember going on a holiday with them and having so much fun..... I think we were just around 7 or 8. Time really flies away...... We'll meet up someday! Right?

-Joann

2009-11-29T22:05:00.002+08:00

Had fun catching up with people from Klang today!
Went Fish Market and to the Oh's.
Is having a lot of fun with my sisters even when we're at home.
I'm grateful to what I have and is right now.

2009-11-26T04:41:00.003+08:00

Went star gazing tonight when we got back from watching A Christmas Carol at the park in front of our home. I had fun lying there and just look up to the sky.... Thank You God for such a miraculous creation!

-Joann

2009-11-25T05:16:00.002+08:00

It's 5 in the morning and I'm still up and about! Why? Because mom and dad is not here and I don't have to wake up early tomorrow... Is this good? I don't know. I've been turning in and getting up real late this few days and I'm not liking it. Makes me feel like time flies away real fast. It stresses me up a little.

But enough of the boring and worrying stuff.... My life here at Klang is currently a lot of fun. Went to The Curve two days none stop. Went to this Japanese store yesterday and today.... A lot of fun stuff to do. Been eating some expensive stuff.... Went to Summit for the book fair today and bought 4 books with the prices altogether less than RM50. I'm very satisfied.....

With this kind of life, I don't think I'll accomplish anything. Maybe a few pounds but that's it! But it sure is a lot of excitement in it.... Once in a while is fine! But if this keeps on I think I'll start gaining more weight and losing more hair....

Hopefully I can start some work before I forget about them.... I'm always worrying about my work!

I wanna thank Jane for staying with us and not hanging out with her friends all day and everyday! Being with us is sometimes very difficult I know and so I thank you jie....
-Joann

How I'm doing......

2009-11-18T20:01:00.002+08:00

School holidays have not started but I'm already on my holiday..... Will be going back to Klang in two more days. Then mom will leave for Turkey..... She's having the time of her life! And then granddad's birthday celebration is this Sunday. And then I'll be staying at Klang for the rest of the two week or so..... When mom comes back we'll have to rush back to JB because mom has work to do. I don't know if I want to come back or not because Elmi and Erica's concert is gonna be on the same week...... But I don't want to leave my friends in JB alone too! I'm still in a dilemma.....

Christmas is near and we're planning a get-together at Fridays with my friends at JB.... And one more for my friends in Klang. I don't know anything about that yet.....

But I can't just forget about my homework. I need to do them when I'm free and I cannot procrastinate..... Or I'll just let myself down! I CANNOT......

right before worship!

with Nigel and Nic

the smell of the flower!!!

in the bus

2012 was awesome.Very touching movie!But do you believe the story? I don't.But I'll definitely get ready for His second coming!

Yesterday,when were goofing around in the bus on our way back to school,I was knocked a few times because the bus was shaking a lot. And today, I have bruises all over my arm! It's really painful...... But it was worth it! Or we wouldn't have this lovely pictures.... There will be no memories!

-Joann

2009-11-14T18:39:00.003+08:00

Today was Awards Day..... It was a success! Not because everything went well. But because the Bible said that everything happened in God's plan and thus,it was perfect. Though it may not be perfect in our eyes but they are to Him because He planned everything to happen the way it did..... You get what I mean?

Well,today was very tiring...... We shouted a lot today to cheer for the presentations and award winnings! We were the only one really cheering..... It was a tough crowd! But it was fun..... The music went out during worship and it was really awkward to sing without music. But it was fine..... Because we didn't do it for the people. It was for God! And so the worship was perfect..... And I thank everyone that participated! Thank you for persevering..... And for being so patient toward my requests.

Went out for the movie 2012. But it was all sold out for today...... So we went to Redbox instead! This time,we were able to go with Nicole and her brothers. It was a lot of fun..... Played 'truth or dare' and we spent so much time laughing. Going for the movie tomorrow with Nicole and Joanna again..... But the seats are really front! So I hope that my neck won't get sprained after the movie.... Overall,today was a lot of fun! Even though it was very tiring...... Pictures will come very soon!

And remember my last post saying that I don't want to screw up and get disappointed? Well,guess what! I screwed up and is disappointed..... But again,it was God's plan and it is perfect in His eyes!

I'm too tired to say anything else now! Bye.....

2009-11-13T22:41:00.000+08:00

I really don't understand something! Why would anyone be so stupid? Like seriously..... Doing something without thinking is like jumping into the deep blue sea even when you know you can't swim. Serious stupidity man..... Can't stand it! Useless...... Meaning,of no use!

-Joann

I'm not going to be disappointed right???

2009-11-12T19:11:00.003+08:00

Awards Day is coming in just 2 more days....And we're still making changes to it! What am I going to do?

Will I get disappointed? Will I screw up? Please give me a 'no' for an answer for both of the questions...... Please!

Did this in computer class today.... I had fun today! Despite the fact that Joanna missed school today. Learnt a lot of stuff..... More than any day that we've had. Because we had 45 more minutes after what we should learn.

Still have to think on what we're gonna wear for Awards Day. Maybe Polo's or t-shirts with jeans. Guys are gonna wear shirt with jeans..... I'm very vexed. Don't know how it will go on that day.... Hope nothing bad happens and that I can get an award.

Dad's gone for China again... This time,it's gonna be for 10 days! I'm gonna miss him.... He'll miss my Awards Day again. This is his 2nd time missing it.... Last year he went to China too!

P.E tomorrow.... Very exited! Will be playing badminton.... And tons of chats and gossips.

Awards Day preparations are going rather smoothly. It's just that I feel bad sometimes because I'm changing a lot of people's solo part because they can't really do it in so little time and I have to do something.... I just hope they won't get rejected. I feel sorry for changing their parts..... I hope they understand where I'm coming from. I truly appreciate their efforts! And hope to continue working with them in the coming future..... Thanks everyone who's helping me and participating. Love you guys tons....

My current obsession-Cecelia Ahern
Bought another of her novels and it's doing great.
Still awaiting for her P.S I Love You
With the original cover.
And saw some of her others novels which I've yet to read
I need to buy them soon before it goes out of stock again.
I love her work.....
Just as much as Stephenie Meyer's novels.

We'll be the one bugging you.
Love ya....

No more lies do I wanna hear from you ever again

2009-10-29T21:37:00.003+08:00

So many things are happening in my life right now I don't know where to begin.... Everything is still very blur. I still have 2 more books to rush on with only one day left! That will be all over by tomorrow.... I will stop losing hair again. I will not be so moody anymore. These few days has been very scary and upsetting. So much fear and anger in me which I do not wish to ever have again. There are so many things that I wish to say but shouldn't.... Just get everything off my chest! And out of my mind.... Forget about what happened. I just wish to get it all over with.... Stop with the subject and never to speak of it again. I wish holidays would start earlier not because I don't want to study but because there are some things and people that I wish I would never explain to and meet or speak to again. I would really like it for this feeling of fear,anger and anxiousness to be away. I would really love it if I forgot about what happened and just go through a normal life again. To never again hear lies which are so obvious in them. I would appreciate it if problems will just leave me. Bitter people will just go away and leave everyone dear to me alone. Hypocrites stop what they are doing and live a real,honest life. Never again do I wish to go through this again because this is very hurtful..... I just wish tears will come falling down my face and the troubles I have will disappear. I need a shoulder to lie on.... And I know He is always there for me. I just need to acknowledge Him.....

Have been very busy with the preparations for Awards Day.... We're leading worship and we still have 2 more weeks left to go. But we still have not gotten everything settled yet with so many more troubles coming in the way. I guess it's because I've only been thinking about myself and not about for who I'm doing it for..... And I wish I would change my heart. Start over again with a reminder that I'm not doing it for myself but for Him.

Reminder:Not for you but for Him!

-Joann

Not of who but of what!

2009-10-26T19:00:00.003+08:00

I've been discouraged by a lot of things and who doesn't. It happens quite often too and this time,I'm not! At least not on who but on what. On the character in you...... Of what you are. Disappointed on what you did and said. I don't regret on what I said and what my decision is. Because I know it's the right choice. Having not you but your character with me will not only not lift me up but moreover it will bring me down. It will bring me a step back in doing the good thing and in His will..... Maybe it was meant to be that you shouldn't participate. Maybe it was His plan that things has to go this way. Whatever it is,it's happened. And I'm not discouraged..... Disappointed,yes! I did care you know......
Discouraging it is! Not about who but about what happened....

Where's my mamma gone?

2009-10-25T22:55:00.002+08:00

Mom's away to Ipoh,Tapah because my aunt from The States are back. Their son just gave birth to a baby son. So mom rushed home to see her sister..... I missed her! But too bad we couldn't go back. Mom asked me to go back with her but I couldn't because Awards Day is coming and I have band practice. And the most important thing is that I need to rush my books. I still have 4 more books to finish and I cannot let this week be a waste. I need to fully use this last week of October to get this all done..... So that I would not feel useless even when I don't get an award because I know I worked hard for it. I won't feel so disappointed if I know I tried my best...... I need to console myself! I need to encourage myself to at least strife for something very important and meaningful in my life.

I missed mom terribly. Went to church with only Vern today feels really weird..... But it was fun,different. Pumped petrol on my car for the first time today..... It feels great to learn something new. Dad let me use his credit card and we went for sushi after church. With the credit card! ha.... Amazing stuff what you can do with a credit card in your hand!

Went to Harvest church yesterday night with dad. We were invited by some old church members and it was nice..... Catching up,and just seeing all of them after so long! The best part? Everyone saying we're so much more prettier since we've met! woohuhuhu..... But overall,it was sweet. The church was a lot like City Harvest church. But nothing is in English so I don't really understand it....... Not considering to transfer anytime soon. I like my current church..... Furthermore,I just learned how to sing the Chinese songs from my church!

Missing mommy......

The Host,report book

2009-10-21T17:21:00.003+08:00

I need to stay back soon! Because report books are coming out and I don't want to have mom hear anything bad about me. I need to do homework. I need to stop doing things that are affecting my school work. I need to stop going online so much,watching TV too much,read novels too much,and just focus.

Finished reading The Host a few days ago and it is freaking amazing! I think personally,it is better than The Twilight Saga. Not to be offensive though... Don't come spamming my blog! I would recommend this book. Go read it.

-Joann

Freaking Awards Day! Makes me feel useless.....

2009-10-20T20:22:00.002+08:00

So many things are in my mind right now. Four more weeks till Awards Day. Two more weeks till October ends. Two more weeks to finish 5 books. Two of them are still in section 1. I really need to do something and not just say I want to. Actions speak louder than words. But doing it is a lot more difficult than saying..... I need some motivation. I need a goal! But it seems like trying to aim for an award this year isn't working. Because I really really want an award this year.... I've been in this school for 6 years and for 5 years straight I've never had a award. I really need one to show that I am not stupid! I need some motivation...... :(

-Joann

2009-10-15T17:10:00.001+08:00

I'm feeling very paranoid now......
I just feel that nothing will go right!
Nothing will work the way I wanted it.....

awards morning? Never heard of it!haiz.....

2009-10-14T23:10:00.003+08:00

Just found out about the Awards 'Night' for this year. And the thing is,it's not an Awards Night.... Neither is it going to be Awards Afternoon like last year. Rather,it's going to be Awards Morning..... 9 AM! Like seriously..... Who gives out awards in the morning? It doesn't make any sense. It makes it dull..... I don't think my parents are coming. Last year's Awards Afternoon also they didn't make it.... Since it's not at night anymore they didn't come! They say that when it's earlier,it would make more parents who can't make it at night would have the chance to come..... But,look what happened? Even lesser parents are coming to this....thing! I really don't have the mood anymore. Plus,after I found out that the awards will be combined with the guys,all the more I know that I'm yet to get an award this year. I really hoped that I would get one before I graduate.... But,no! They just wouldn't let me. I'm actually quite disappointed..... I kinda worked a lot harder compared to the other years that I've been here. I really thought that I would have a chance! Now all my hopes are gone. Not that I'm very sure that I'll get any award,but at least I can hope! But now....I can't even imagine how much I will humiliate myself for not getting an award even when my English is better than anyone else,my grades are higher than anyone else!
I can't think straight right now.....

lala land as I call it!

2009-10-13T09:20:00.002+08:00

Good morning everyone! I'm back from Taiwan..... And I'm really glad! I missed my daddy,and my bed and laptop. Taiwan....was not as much fun as China,but the view is definitely the best! Everything is about shopping. Cheap cheap stuff. I bought like 4 handbags.... I know it's crazy but all of them are under 20 dollar. I really do love the weather there......It is very cooling. The wind in China is also very windy but it hurts your hair. When I got back,i used tons of conditioner. The food there isn't of our type. No one likes the food there. We had 'mala'-super spicy-steamboat and it is tasteless. Every shopping street that you go you can smell 'chou dou fu'-stinky tofu. And it stinks real bad. No one tried it.

What I really like about this trip is that I made a lot of friends. We were very shy at first. Sticking only to ourselves. And then as we have more stuff in common,we got closer and we even exchanged our email addresses and Facebook accounts. None of them are in their teens anymore but we still get along together quite well. One of them are even pregnant..... And she walks around like there's nothing in her belly. There are a few couples,one of which is my school mate's parents. How cool is that right?

The places are really beautiful.... Though they look like it's still in the 80's or 90's. The buildings are really old. You would never have guessed these because of the shows.....

Our tour guide and leader are really helpful and friendly.... Especially our leader. They don't treat us like customers but more of like our friends. We joke around a lot..... He called Vern and I little darlings which is so cute because we've not heard something like that from our parents for a really long time.

Overall,I really like the tour. I love the weather,the view,the people,but definitely not the food! Bye..... Pictures are coming real soon.

Ni Hao from Taiwan. I'm trying to feel some earthquake as I write but theres nothing! haha I'm currently at Hua Lian,where it is said that they have earthquake everyday 24 hours a day 7 days a week. And it is totally safe. No need to worry..... I kinda wish I could feel it. They said it's very mild and if it's 3rd degree you would only feel a little bit.

The weather here is very nice. No rain in the meantime.... I was kinda worried at first because when I checked online it says that it will rain everyday. And I thank God it didn't. Because in Taiwan,when it rains,it is really hard to travel from one place to another. We have not reached the capital city of Taiwan,Taipei yet. And the places we go are kind of a rural. Something like the country side. But,the view is totally amazing. The beach,mountain. I really like it here..... Everything is very different from Malaysia and everything is very unique. Although the trips are quite far,it's really relaxing. We don't rush from one place to another.....

Well,I can't tell you much right now because it's only day 3 and we have 4 more days to go. What I can say is that I love the weather here.... Not too cool but you won't sweat when you're warm. Loving this place and my group leader. Not too much on the tour guide though..... Maybe because my tour guide in China was so good that I would compare the both of them together. But he is nice!

Continue waiting for pictures and more information about Taiwan! Love ya to bits.....

xoxo-Joann

How have I been doing? Read....

2009-10-03T19:14:00.002+08:00

So many things are happening in my life right now I don't know where to begin. School has been very busy. Rushing on all my work.... Went to the Doulos ship,it was a lot of fun. Met with a lot of people. Like Alicia Goh,some old classmates,Sally,Ernest,Aaron and some others which I can't recall. The Doulos team came to our school too the next day and it was a nice visit. Played some soccer with a Brazilian,and met new friends from Canada,Korea,and Austria.

Went badminton with some friends on Friday..... It was the best time ever. I get to sweat as much as I want and not feel disgusted by it. I really did burn calories. Gonna do it more when I get back from Taiwan. Mid-Autumn Festival at church after badminton...... It was fine,better than the usual. Sunday church was the fine,too. Shopping at night was fun..... Bought another cardigan which I already has a lot. A pair of very cheap jeans and sunglasses. Broke a few of mine by sitting on it,'kemek' in my bag,and fell from a high place.

Will be going to Singapore first at around 5 in the morning later. We'll be departing from Changi Airport. It's a five hour trip..... I don't think I'll be sleeping tonight. I'll get a nap in the bus and in the flight!

I'll miss you guys whose reading ok? :)......

-Joann

Oh-my-goodness! School....and Taiwan! So busy....and then REPORT BOOKS? stress la dey!

2009-10-02T00:05:00.002+08:00

October start today and report books are coming out real soon. Don't really know how I did since I didn't do any in August but finished most of them in September. Not sure what teacher would write on my book too.... Hope it's not anything too harsh. I think I did quite good in September. Well,I'm not a very good student so of course I would skip some homeworks for a few days but there are some days which I would do them. I just hope I can work harder this month. Because I'm going to Taiwan so I know it'll affect my work and I'll have to do more. I need to start on my new books before I leave so that when I get back I've at least started on them. I need to be very 'tekun.' No more procrastination and no more excuses saying I'll do them tomorrow or 10 more minutes. No way..... Not anymore!

-Joann

I'm sorry Lord....please forgive me!

2009-09-29T18:53:00.007+08:00

I almost killed Kiko today..... I feel like a useless person! How could I have done something so wrong? I don't deserve him.... I'm sorry Kiko! And thank You God for protecting him..... Keeping him save! Thank You Lord..... I'm gonna change my attitude from now on. Not only to Kiko but to everyone and to everything..... I'm gonna really try my hardest to change to be a better man!

-Joann

Doulos ship here I come!!!

2009-09-29T17:27:00.005+08:00

Will be visiting the Doulos ship tomorrow with school. I've been there before and it has been a lot of fun. Gonna get some books..... Dad's giving us each a 100 dollar! Because he knows that it's all books so he'll give us money. I'm very exited.... Not sure about badminton this Friday anymore! Might cancel it..... I'll be leaving for Taiwan in a weeks time! Time flies by so quickly..... Half a year has gone by in a blink of an eye when I was still at China. Hope this will be as fun as China because this trip is without my elder sisters!

Today was a lot of fun...... School was fine! Nothing bad happened..... Finally did something on Maths. It was kinda easy. Went bowling in the evening with some friends and met a new friend as well..... She's very nice and funny. Drove there and mom was so worried because I drove home at night. She was really scared for us. I was too and we prayed before driving so I have God. Bowling was a lot of fun. A hell lot of laughter.... The whole game was very funny. Some kept missing the pin,some hitting all the pins even when they don't know how to play. One even dropped the ball behind her when she was swinging it..... I had tons of fun. And someone still owes us a meal.

Planned another trip for badminton next Friday..... I cannot wait. I'm so exited right now...... We're planning to do this every week. Keep us fit! I'm gonna gain mom's trust and soon she'll let me drive at night.

Another semester is gonna end in 2 more days of school. Took our reading test and I kinda slowed down. I don't know why but a lot of friends did too..... Hope for the next semester I can improve myself and get more than 200+ marks.

Got to wake up real early tomorrow and help mom wash the curtains... Because we went out at night so she wants us to help her out. Then maybe we can go Pasar Pagi. For some morning walk.....Might bring Kiko along too.

I've really got to do some homework this weekend. I'm leaving for Taiwan soon and I need to rush my books. Before I slow down even more..... I need to work extra harder than everyone else if I want to graduate by next year. I must!!

-Joan

2009-09-23T18:32:00.004+08:00

I'm back from Klang and school started already. Others has one week holiday but we only have one. But it's fine..... I did some homework! My trip back to Klang was a lot of fun..... A lot of picture! A lot of dress ups.....

Wedding was sweet..... Lucas was definitely the limelight! Saw a lot of cousins....one whom has just become a dad for a few days. I'm an aunt now! Saw some cousin's girlfriends and boyfriend too.... They might be family someday!

Sunway Piramid with Nicole was tiring and funny..... Other than the fact that she was late for more than 2 hours,we had fun..... A lot of laughter

A day at The Yeboah's place was definitely the best! Haven't seen them in more than a month..... I was also able to celebrate Roxas' birthday. With some other old friends.....Joni and David!

Pictures are on Facebook now! Wedding and birthday.....
I might post them up here too.....
Hard to say! Depends on my mood
Bye....

These are serious vain-ness pictures! I'm kinda ashamed that I'm so this vain too.....But after that first picture from my web cam I can't stop playing with it! And kept on taking and taking..... Forgive me for being so self-conceited. I'm just very new to my hair I guess.
Before I had my hair cut!

I look like a spy in this dress!

Will be going back to Klang tomorrow after school. Cousin's wedding..... I'll be helping mom and dad drive! I'm very exited. Awaiting for Friday to be over soon..... Will also be able to see Erica and Elmi..... Maybe go for a movie! The Ugly Truth? I'm very exited about this weekend..... And then another 2 days of holiday on Monday and Tuesday. Can't wait......

-Joann

2009-09-15T20:54:00.002+08:00

I'm so disgusted right now I'm shivering! There was a cockroach in my bathroom and I almost stepped on it. It's so disgusting.... Ew!

This few months have been real busy.... School,driving classes,going back to hometown,grandparent's birthday,shopping with friends,and church camp. Life has been really hectic. And I thank God for everything..... Even for all the shits that happened. I've learned a lot..... Gotten higher level in school,a P driving licence,bonding time with grandparents and friends,and camp.

I'm so blessed and I'm really happy. I appreciate all that's given to me..... Many things have changed throughout this few months time. First,I've cut my hair....obviously! Getting my licence is what I'm most happy about. I'm really getting better at this..... I can start driving without mom in just a few more days. I just want to show others that I'm growing up. I'm not that little kid anymore whom you pat when you see me.... I'm already 17. Going on 18..... And soon I'll be going to college. I'm really grateful to Him who gave me these experiences. Either good or bad..... I've learned so much. Especially mom... She's always been there for me no matter what. And I want her to know that I love her a lot..... Sometimes I make her really angry and made her think that I don't appreciate her or don't love her. And I'm really sorry...... I forget sometimes that she's really important to me and I don't want to realize that only when she's gone. I love you mommy.....

-Joann

2009-09-14T18:51:00.002+08:00

Finally cut my hair today after so long of struggling on what to do with my very boring frizzy hair..... Did some rebonding on my fringe too and I really like the effect of the whole thing. I'm happy.....Drove around town today too and I'm really getting better and better everytime. I think in a few more days I won't need my mom's company..... She'll also feel better. She's really scared that she'll die in a crash or something. Did I tell you I love my mommy?? haha.....

Harris is my favorite......

2009-09-13T22:57:00.002+08:00

Today was a very simple day.... Nothing much happened. Was at home the whole day after church,did some homework and a lot of online-ing. As I said,nothing much. Went to Manhattan Fish Market for dinner at Jusco. Then went to Harris to apply for student member card. And spent about 45 minutes looking for novels.... Bought six discount novels. And one of them is the all so famous 'The Host' from the all so famous and my favorite Stephanie Meyer. I hope it's as nice as the Twilight Sagas. More homework to catch up on.... Got to go now! Before mom comes in by surprise with her keys. Seriously.....no privacy at all. What if I was changing or doing things that are not supposed to be seen by them? LOL.....haha! I'm just kidding okay.

2009-09-11T17:05:00.003+08:00

I so want a Maltese right now..... I'm definitely going to persuade my parents. Or I'm sure gonna get one when I live by myself or when I can make decisions without them. They are so freaking cute I tell you..... If daddy says yes,mom can't say no! I want a MALTESE now......NOW NOW NOW!

2009-09-10T17:33:00.002+08:00

Today was totally boring! Even the very fun computer class was boring.... Tests are even more boring! lol..... Learnt a little bass from Nic yesterday and I played for worship today. It felt real good. I've been playing the keyboard at school for so many years I'm bored of it. Playing another instrument other than the keyboard is fun! Gonna continue learning and maybe start on drums.... Have been really interested in drums for quite some time but couldn't really catch the rhythm and my hands are not flexible enough. Considering this, I think I wanna start on Monday since there's always been drum classes at school. I should really start on what I like shouldn't I? Before I'm too old to even understand anything.... You know what I mean!

-Joann

2009-09-09T23:32:00.002+08:00

I'm so freaking tired right now.... Went out after school until late at night is not good for your health I'm telling you. Went to City Square with some church friends to watch Final Destination.... It was fine! Very fake and disgusting..... And then they decided to watch another movie. 'Murderer.' It's even more disgusting than Final Destination..... Very eeky! Shopped for a little while and came back. Today was fun..... Hope to have more of this kind of days! Gotta go get ready for my Home Economic Lifepac test....

When I was a flower girl

Some recent pictures and some real old pictures which was sent to me at Facebook

Yesterday was a torture.... Woke up and and I could already feel the pain in my stomach. I can't exactly tell where the pain was..... But I need to go to church to serve. Played for worship but couldn't take it anymore during the sermon..... Went down to the visitor's room and took a nap. It got better after a few hours and then it came back. It caused me my math homework and a nice dinner and bonding time with my church friends..... Sad!

School today was fine..... Finally started on my math work! Hope teacher won't get angry because I've delayed it for quite some time..... I need P.E soon!! Finally found something I really have interest in and they banned P.E? No fair!!!

2009-09-06T01:20:00.003+08:00

Gotta wake up real early tomorrow for church.... Got to be there earlier than ever for more practice. Very grateful for the guitarist whom I'm sorry for not knowing his name..... He purposely wrote chords for songs which I do not know! And I haven't even thanked him yet.... Gonna do it tomorrow. Or else he'll think that I'm a rude person.....

Muax mommy.....

2009-09-05T00:05:00.002+08:00

I'm so freaking tired but is very satisfied! School was fine.....The usual stuff. Mom bought me Converse shoes yesterday but I don't know how to do the two-shoelace pattern so went to Jusco to get it fixed. Bought a pair of jeans and then headed to Shogun,JB. And then we were totally stuffed..... Went to Leisure Mall for bowling. It was so much fun..... Gonna go with my friends some other time. Chat with Joanna just now and talked about Christmas. We're planning on a big get-together at a hotel buffet..... It'll be so much fun.

I really had a great day today.... Drove to school this morning and it was kinda scary because I was driving my jeep. It took me like 20 minutes to reach school.... It usually takes around 10 to 15 minutes! I love my MOMMY so so much..... Tomorrow's gonna be very busy. Morning walk,church,Sunday church,mom's line-dancing class,school! And homeworks..... I'm gonna be so dead if I didn't do my homework! T.Felicia's gonna call my mom very very soon.....

P.S:I really really love my daddy,mommy,both of my jie jie's, and Vern!
