Sneaks Up On You

Updated with new stuffs. Keep looking around and I'm hoping someone has something meaningful to say about all this.

Ain: That's your sister?
Jun Ian: Yeah.
Ain: But she doesn't look like you!
Kevin: Except the nose.
Jun Ian: Does my brother look like me?
Ain: You have a brother?!

My birthday's in less than a week. I can't believe it.

Today!

I have a few topics to write about.

Number one!

Stop. Global. Warming.

School is super hot these days. It's so hot I don't even feel like having dance practice.

Which is a real problem, since I don't mean dance practice for concert (which some people are already getting into), but for the Australian students, who are gonna be here in about two weeks. We haven't even started!

On a slightly related note, I really wanna watch An Inconvenient Truth. Anyone know when that's coming out here? Or is it out already or is it not coming out?

And number two... we found out the form fours are planning to carry on the year-old tradition of social night!

Is it considered a tradition if it only happened once? Probably not, but it might become a tradition soon enough! It's all up to future years to decide.

Form threes! Gonna do social night too? All up to you.

Okay, masterminded by Ain and Sandra, the form four social night seeks to emulate the previous year's social night by having dinner and a dance, but they are not planning to call it social night. I forgot what it is they were going to call it.

I don't know the details, you know, not being form four and all.

[22:09:23] † ???i † | I: they'll think we're drinking booze and having some mass orgy in there
[22:09:46] junian: im sure they would disapprove equally of sparkling juice and holding hands

Brii and I are talking about the school. The school would probably not like the idea of us having social night if they knew about it.

But how could they stop us? I mean, it's not like the school has to be involved at all. It's like trying to stop us celebrating our birthdays or going to the mall.

They will try if we give them the chance. They really will!

Somehow they think it's their business that we wanna get together for something like this. Maybe because if anything goes wrong it's their name that's gonna be all over the news regardless of whether we acted independently or not.

Their fears aren't completely unfounded I guess. After all, I did break a door at last year's social night. Yeah, I did.

It was like this.

As to the reason why I was so angry I will not post it here. If you want to know you can ask me yourself and I might tell you.

Some of the form fives don't like the form fours having social night. They see this as copying and are somehow offended.

That is really weird. It is not like it is going to trouble you in any way, and you are not losing anything from such a deal, so why not be proud that people want to do what you did?

One more thing. I had to find some music for our Malaysian international understanding video, so I tried an Ares search.

I think the results speak for themselves. I'm actually trying to download this. Keep drifting sideways, Malaysia.

This kinda proves that regardless of your bangsa or agama the international language is smut. But... oh dear Mahadi. MAS crews getting it on?

I ended up downloading Negaraku. For reals.

Finally, congratulations to the Under-18 football team for getting the squad you want, even though you had to push aside a few people to do it. Now if you don't win this year you have no more excuses.

In Which Suat And I Buy Lots of Stuff

Wye Ping: Sarah and Daniel! You look like such a cute couple!
Daniel: Er...
Wye Ping: You two look good together!
Clarissa: You know who looks good together as a couple? Jun Ian and Daniel!
Jun Ian: What?
Sarah: Oh yeah! Remember...
Clarissa: One time we saw these two gay guys and they looked JUST LIKE -
Jun Ian: Yeah, you told me.

I blogged about that once.

Jun Ian: So which one of us is the guy?
Clarissa: You la!
Jun Ian: That's the way! See? I'm the guy here, Daniel.
Daniel: Of course la - no wait, that's not right!
Jun Ian: As it turns out, in this relationship... I'm the man.
Komala: Obviously... SISTER!

New word for today!

CHRISDDHISM

A cocktail mixture of Christianity and Buddhism. For the casual chapel-going student who isn't really Christian! There are a lot of Buddhists in chapel these days. Free thinkers too. No one knows whether we actually outnumber the real Christians or not. But I think we do.

Christian Fellowship (CF) is held every Wednesday at the chapel during lunch break. There are a lot of Christians who don't even go for that, but again... the Buddhists are there to fill in the spaces.

Usually we play games and stuff but today, we learned how to sing the new testament.

The first four are Mark, Matthew, James and Luke. I got the order mixed up. Something about Romans and then... some stuff and then... two Timothys, Titus and it ends with Jude and Revelations. There are like twenty seven books or something.

Yeah, I don't really remember too well. It was worth it to watch Mrs Peters sing, though. Hari gave her a hug today. That was cool, but nothing will ever beat the memory of Mark dancing with Norashima on Teacher's Day two years ago. Anyone remember that?

Blame Liwen for the whole Christian-Buddhist thing. He started the entire movement last year.

Dexter: And then, through some freak accident, David pushed Goliath out the window of the children's hospital. Goliath fell many stories and died. This proved that David was indeed the chosen one, not Neo.
En Yaw: This... this is blasphemy man!

Good old blasphemy. We even got Dass to come along once.

Mrs Peters: What are YOU doing here?

Did you know that if we bring a Muslim to chapel, we're effectively trying to convert him and we could all go to jail?

Yeah... that's our Islamic law.

Yan Por: And this is what a AIDS cell looks like. Since it's so small, I'm going to draw it on the board. Something like this...
Kiat Jin: Yan Por, permanent marker!
Yan Por: HAAH???

My sister is a librarian! I am like SO PROUD.

Tuesday's News
(Some pictures were removed cause they were taking up space)

I feel sick and tired and I'm still blogging this...

Dunno why I'm doing it also.

But we bought so much STUFF.

That's about a thousand bucks worth of branded stuff.

I feel so sick. I just had my second shower in like... SIXTEEN HOURS.

The two of us were in KLCC until 9.45 or something. It's a school night!

I can't tell you exactly who gets what because Suatz took the list of prizes home.

The football.

First place gets the iPod shuffle. Now we have TWO.

I just found out that I can actually hang from the hoop in the basketball court... now that there's an extra layer there.

How To Throw A Party

Blogger's Note: I was sick tired the whole day. I slept for three hours in the afternoon then I went online to blog this. It was a pretty bad idea to go on MSN since I couldn't think straight enough to even hold a conversation at the time, all the way up to dinner and even after dinner I felt like sleeping again.

Nescafe 3 in 1 + cadbury hot chocolate + cold milk = solved that problem

Should have thought of it earlier.

Step One

Decide where you want to have your party. An ideal location would be a house on top of a hill where it's windy all the time, especially at night.

If the house is a mansion which can be seen from any point in the surrounding countryside, even better.

Brian: Is that her house? How can we even see her house from here? It's like... dominating the whole mountain.

Step Two

Decide what you want your guests to do at your party. If the house has its own basketball court, outdoor tub, karaoke room, playstation and plasma TV you're pretty much settled.

Just make sure you have guests who can sing, and not act out chinese soap dramas on the mic instead.

Jason: Dim kai... DIM KAI!?!?
Jon: Why did Suat Lay install a torture room in her house?

Still, you might wanna invite a DJ or two along... just so someone can keep an eye on the music while you're having fun. A good choice might be someone you've had along on previous occasions... so they know what you like.

Jun Ian: Is that a sauna? It looks like a sauna. That had better not be a sauna.
Wai Khuin: Checking... it's a closet.
Jun Ian: If she had a sauna in her own house that would have been too much.

Step Three

Decide on all the elements of your party. What kind of food are you going to serve? What kind of music are the DJs going to play? Do you have a grand piano for the music purists? How many decks of cards are you going to provide? Is Liverpool playing Everton that night?

Tip: No-outs-street-style-basketball is a pretty cool game. Even when you can't actually play bastketball it's fun to be caught up in the insanity.

Jason: Grand piano, huh Rufus?
Rufus: I haven't touched it yet. I'm... resisting the temptation.

If you want the people to dance, make sure the floor is right and the music is good. Make sure you know what tunes your crowd likes, and make sure those tunes are played.

It's My Life, Satisfaction, Everytime We Touch, Tokyo Drift, Beep, Sexy Back, YMCA, Shake Ya Tailfeather, Dragostea Din Tei and Pump It are good choices.

Still, sometimes you have to make sure the DJ updates his list with songs that were released sometime during the last year, and not play Good Charlotte or Linkin Park for no good reason.

George Michael's Never Gonna Dance Again was also completely uncalled for.

More than one person: What the fu-

When allowing your guests to watch a game, make sure the room is properly divided into two halves. Allow the Liverpool supporters to sit on one side and the non-Liverpool supporters on the other.

Do not let the one guy with the Liverpool jersey sit in the middle of all the non-Liverpool supporters. It's bad karma.

Jenq Yan: All Everton this side... Liverpool over there.
Jun Ian: What about him?
Jenq Yan: Traitor.

I have to go OOC for awhile and describe what it was like to watch the game in that house on that TV with those people.

It was electric.

Like I mentioned, the room was split in half except for Jing Hang, snug in the midst of the people who didn't support Liverpool or Everton, but didn't want to see Liverpool win anyway.

The TV was in a room that was practically all balcony with a roof. The wind was blowing in from all sides and it was almost like we were in Genting or something. Only not so cold.

Anyone who actually watched the match would have known how Everton played something like 1-0-9, and how many times Liverpool almost, almost scored.

Wai Khuin watched the game from Suat's grandfather's chair in deep concentration, not making a sound the entire 90 minutes.

Jenq Yan: FLOWER!

For those of you who were not there, he meant Robbie Fowler.

Step Four

If the party is a birthday celebration, insist on following the tradition of pulling one candle out of the cake with one's mouth.

You are encouraged to push only slightly so that the tip of the nose and maybe the chin goes into the cake instead of just wasting the whole thing and covering the newly-turned seventeen year old's face with icing.

Happy Birthday Suat Lay!
