gone

And you walked out. Just left. Gone.


Eventhough I didn't personally know you, I felt this awkward... connection. Your turquoise blue eyes never failed to get my attention; I saw you from afar. I looked down and tried to avoid staring at you. But you knocked me on the shoulder and at that moment, i felt like a spark; an electric current. You apologized in your godly voice and smiled. I returned your smile and continued walking to class. My heart was still beating... I turned back to look at you. Surprisingly, you looked back at me too.


That was the last time I saw you...


WELL, LIFE GOES ON! =D hik hik! ^^

the pianist

The willow tree was swaying its elegant long vines as the wind blew fluidly. Beautiful cotton-like clouds contrasted the bright magnificent sun as it set into the fascinating horizon. The swimming green grass was surrounded by dandelions; fluffy, tiny bits were floating in the cool atmosphere. The sound of water sprinkling could be heard from a distance; a stream nearby. And on the branch of a mighty oak tree, was a nest of a mother nightingale, singing a lullaby for her little baby nightingales, as the smiling sun was leaving demure Earth, hiding behind mountains to rest…


Back to reality. She looked at me with her face stern, but her sharp features remained soft. Not moving her delicate fingers from the keyboard, she raised her eyebrows and spoke to me with her thick Russian accent. She then focused her serious yet gentle eyes at the beaming grand piano in front of her. Her fingers glided once again on its fragile keyboard, and there I was, not removing my eyes from her graceful fingers; full of admiration. The melody was like a dream; like doves fluttering in the sky; like floating in a deep sleep; like being lost in a world of tranquility.


I blinked twice to make sure I was awake. It was easy to fall into a dream with such soothing music. She faced me again, but this time her lips were smiling at me, giving me support. I scanned the notes thoroughly, staring blankly at the sheet of paper in front of me. The fringe of my hair fell from the side of my face, and I placed it behind my ear. I took a deep breath and positioned my clumsy fingers on the shiny black and white keyboard. My fingers started playing and the piano produced music, but it wasn't like the one before. I couldn't imagine the wide sparkling ocean. I couldn't imagine the birds chirping cheerfully in a field. I couldn't imagine the wind blowing peacefully, gently touching the side of my face. I couldn't imagine anything. All I could hear was a sound; a sound drowning in a boring black hole. So I stopped playing. It didn't sound as nice as I expected it to be.


She laughed a bit at my silliness. All it takes is practice, she said. I always thought her fingers were like spiders; they were strict, accurate and alert; asking for quiet attention, but at the same time, they were gentle and admirable. I looked at my stubby fingers and shook my head. She placed her delicate right hand on my shoulder and gave encouragement. Then the clock striked 6. Time to go.


I left and bade her goodbye. I peered through the glass window and smiled at the grand piano. The sky was like what I had imagined, and I knew I would become a professional pianist someday. =)

holidays almost over. don't know if i'm happy or not. i've been sitting around like a couch potato, eating and eating to get rid of my boredom. XD omg not good!

LOOK AT THOSE BEBEHS!

okie lah. you see also you wanna eat riiight??

I just found out that 1/3 OF ONE KRISPY KREME DONUT is 100 CALORIES. so one donut is equivalent to 300 CALORIES.

OMG that's even more than eating a WHOLE plate of healthy salad! sob sob... bye-bye donuts! T.T

have to watch my weight from now on! why can't i eat and stay thin?! WHYYYYY??!?!??!

okies! gtg now. my DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER is getting cold. XD

education

YAYYYYYYY!!! SPRING BREAK!!!! omg american schools have so many holidays. so happieee~!

the teachers so cool lor coz they oso don't give homework =P

I have never really admired the 'beauty' of school before. I mean SSG isn't that bad if you compare it to government schools. omigosh I just realized I've been upgraded. From government school to Private school and now i'm in an international school.

If you ask me which is the best (in terms of education), I would have to say international school. I feel so relaxed here! The teachers don't pressure you to study hard, and like my counsellor at school said "They can take harder subjects if they want to, and they also can choose to take the fairly easy subjects. If they are already drowning, we help them up. We don't leave them do drown or drown them even more. They do what they can. We don't force them"

I do agree on that. I mean the system that Malaysia currently has is the British system; you either do very good, or do very bad which I think is kinda one-sided. I'm currently taking 7 subjects and all the teachers are really good. they give you a lot of support even when you're failing. But in Malaysia... ERRR... I don't know if the teachers give support or not. XD


somehow you can tell the difference between white teachers and asian teachers. White teachers are reaaaalllyyyyy open-minded omg. Like my english teacher talks about sex in class HAHA. And it's a requirement for all students to learn sex education. I mean it's kinda interesting coz they teach about protection and all. Well, it's better safe than sorry =P

If you ask me which is the worst school, of course it would be government school. WORST TEACHERS, BAD FACILITIES, and friends... are okay. I used to have a lot of friends but now I only keep in touch with one or two. people change when time changes. The only place where I made solid friends was in SSG.

Most strict teachers... SSG XD. I don't know if you agree with me but I do think SSG is strict. Cannot dye your hair, cannot wear coloured contacts, cannot this and cannot that. It's true that you need to be disciplined, but discipline means in behaviour. My current school is pretty disciplined eventhough there are some students with blue hair and really funny fashion sense. When I first came, I thought it would be kinda fun to wear whatever we liked to wear, coz I've never worn anything else besides a uniform to school. But later on, you get so tired of it coz you have to choose what to wear to school everyday of the week.

People who are deprived tend to do things to break the rules. The few rules I've ever broken in SSG were dying my hair(i had to dye it back to black T.T), not cutting my nails, and not pinning up my hair. And for all these minor rules, the school makes it as if it's such a baaad thing. they pinnilize you like no tomorrow. I'm sure Encik Sahari(if he is still in SSG) still catches the boys with long hair and boys who don't tuck in their shirts. WAHAHA.

I feel that if you give the person a little bit of freedom, it's better than no freedom at all. Like, take me for example. Back home I eat pok laa normal thing right. But when I came here I FEEL SO DEPRIVED. i feel like I want it even more XD

The school should understand us too, instead of us always trying to understand the school. I mean at this age(teenagers), we are kinda rebellious. A little bit of freedom doesn't hurt.

Discipline is good, only when it applies to your behaviour. You can change the way a person looks, but it wouldn't improve their attitude. That's the only thing I think that all schools in Malaysia should change. For schools, good and well-trained teachers. Not just some pariah you pick up at the side of the road. Sure it's your job. But teachers must put passion before their pay. How many teachers do you find that are actually passionate about their job?

And students also must study hard lahh. Shouldn't be relying too much on teachers. =P

BUT... in any case, ALL of us are very lucky to be going to school. AT LEAST we have education. Eventhough Malaysia's education might not be grade A, we must be thankful that we still have schools. Those really poor children really want to learn, and here we are, lazy like pandas to finish our homework. -_-'

P.S DOHA GETTING HOTTER T.T

multimedia

As usual, have been busy this week. Tons of MULTIMEDIA work I had to do.

Project : Take a photograph of a person that reflects his/her personality. Then, make different variations of the same picture using Photoshop.


Original Picture :


The first person i thought of was my mum. You can EASILY tell my mum's personality by LOOKING AT THE PAN SHE'S HOLDING. COO-COO XD.

so this is the first one i did. I wanted this marilyn monroe vibe in it.

my mum was soooo HAPPY when she saw this. WAHAHA. I'm sorry George's girlfriend!

I find this disturbing. SKIP!

FLOWERS! OOOOooooOOOO....


HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA. mum pls don't kill me T.T

aha yes. wonders of photoshop. =P

Britney's song stuck in ma head :

You're drifting
The sun comes up
You're fading
You seem so far
I don't know
If I'm awake
Open my eyes
And then we
We kiss...

P.S SPRING BREAK NEXT WEEEEK! WOOHOOO! =D
