Joy of Being Random

Oh dear! It's one in the morning =x and I still remember what Betty said: "Sleep early/Asses do not talk to Amanda after 12midnight, for her own good~" LOL! Guess what I've been doin' since 10:37pm til now! Chatting with Arif on msn! hahaha! Hanson too, but he left around midnight.

Ooh, and I finally got to know Fido's and Arif's full name with their ancestors', as in Fido/Arif bin their fathers bin their grandfathers bin etc... Hahaha! It all started with:

...
(11:23 PM) Arif: fido fido fido...
(11:24 PM) Arif: why do u embarress us human beings so cruelly
(11:24 PM) Arif: actually right...it's kinda weird when u say his real name

...
(11:31 PM) Arif: Firdaus is one of the names for Heaven
(11:31 PM) Arif: if i'm not mistaken, Nasution was the name of a famous indonesian leader
(11:31 PM) Arif: Arif means smart
(11:31 PM) Arif: husaini means soft-spoken
(11:31 PM) Arif: meaning i'm a polite smart-ass

...
(11:33 PM) Arif: as u already know, i swear a lot
(11:33 PM) Arif: lol
(11:34 PM) Arif: but then again, so does everyone else
(11:34 PM) Arif: so, come on come on, what does ur name mean?
...
(11:35 PM) Call Me Amanda : well i really dont know

(11:44 PM) Arif: *ask fido if he remembers

...
(11:44 PM) Arif: seriously cool sometimes wei
(11:44 PM) Arif: yea, coz we can add the name of the father after each name what
(11:45 PM) Arif: coz "bin" means "son of" right
(11:45 PM) Call Me Amanda : it would be REALLY RANDOM if i suddenly text him like that askin' about his name for 3 generations
(11:45 PM) Arif: i'm pretty sure u dont have to ask him directly like that, amanda
(11:45 PM) Arif: farney la u

>>> fido, can tell me ur full name including ur ancestors as well? as in fido bin ur father bin ur grandfather and so on

(11:58 PM) Call Me Amanda : hahaha!!!
(11:58 PM) Arif: he'll understand that too

Since fido asked why, we have to come up with something! Thus, the creative one and only Arif:

...
(12:02 AM) Arif: just say ur curious, and u saw someone write their name down like that on grafitti near a ktm station
(12:02 AM) Call Me Suicide: lolx
(12:02 AM) Call Me Suicide: damn long
(12:02 AM) Arif: (yes, i'm very good at making up stories spontaneously)

OH I LOVE THIS part that made me laugh!! while we waited for Fido's reply -

(12:08 AM) Call Me Amanda : hahahahah!!!
(12:08 AM) Arif: lol

Fido finally replied! and Taadah~ His full name was so long, but Arif's full name is one generation longer than his. hahaha!!! I shall not write their names out here =P Ask me ask me, I know xD

Last but not least, before I go to bed! cause it's seriously late now! I like this line by he who is the 'wise, polite smart ass' ARIF =P

...
(11:05 PM) Call Me Amanda : well, i'm sure izzat WILL DEFINATELY be in an adventurous mood when it comes to doin' pranks on Fido?
(11:06 PM) Arif: yeap, we're talking izzat here....mr i-think-i-can-run-against-the-walls-coz-i-saw-ppl-do-it-in-the-movies

C'est tout! Bonne Nuit!

If I were a bell.

Here I am, updatin' my blog (which is a very borin' thing to do!) for one simple reason - I can't watch tv!!! because the astro/tv in my house is so retarded...grrh! sick of the "NO SIGNAL" word appearin' every 5 seconds. I would probably curse astro or curse the neighbour's cat that loiter around the houses! OR I don't curse, and do something else. =P Be nice :D

Anyway, I woke up at 8:30am today, thinking that I would be very hardworkin' to practice the whole day. but NOoo I watched tv in the morning til 11am. Haha! Only then I went to the piano to practice o.o Surprisingly, ignore the minutes I stand up to take a walk and to drink water, when I stopped practicing it was 4PM! =D I couldn't practice any longer because my wrist started to ache =(

The sad thing was I realised that when I practice the flute for more than 1hr, my left wrist starts to ache, and when I practice Gershwin's Prelude, my right wrist aches. Omgoodness~ Well, "Just take a break!" and stop complainin' cause I didn't do enough practice yet! zzz...

Hmm, I shall talk abit about yesterday Sunday January 27;

Despite the fact that people rest on Sundays, I don't, my music teachers don't, music schools don't. Why, because we have Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday to rest as we get busier towards the weekends. Cause kids have school on weekdays *duh* and I don't cause I'm not studying. Well, Arif doesn't have, Ron doesn't have, Hanson has, Fido has, Izzat has, Jacque doesn't, Nana has, Aifang doesn't, BETTY HAS! But she goes to school or rather kindergarden to teach and lie to little kids xP *sinful* haha, ignore my lameness~

Oops, come back come back~

So I worked at Music Makers from 10am to 5pm! Had a new violin student to teach at 11am. Zzz, I don't understand why parents let their child learn the violin at 3? I think it's too young! Pam agrees too =P haha! Anyway, since Pam is going to stop teachin' for the year (it's her !Big SPM year) I'm arranged to take over her students for the time being.. thank god her students are not that young, easier to teach ^^v So yeah, teaching is very tiring =( But its good experience.

Parents came to pick me up at 5pm, and we went to 1u to do "a bit" of CNY Shopping. Oh, we walked for like five hours and I bought the most! as usual~ Wanted to get a new pair of Sketchers, but mum didn't really want me to buy it, so I didn't. Cut the story short, I bought:

1. one blouse and two tshirt from Baleno - casual & cheap
2. one beige dress (more like a jean dress) from G&H - not expensive & nice!
3. a dress I love love love very much from Armani Exchange! - expensive but lovely!!
4. a pair of Lewre wedges - comfy to go shoppin' in it.
5. a pair of :Exodus wedges - I bought it and wore it there and then because sadly the stripe of my Lewre heels broke while shopping! T.T

Oooh yes, yes, yes, I bought that dress from Armani Exchange! The actual price was RM539!! But I told my mum the other day that it was RM300++ so she looked at me and said "you missed a 5 before 3." xD Anyway it was on 60% sale! So I paid RM216 for that dress. All the joy~ Mum was like "okay, you burst your budget and don't tell me you want to buy any clothes for the rest of the year" Omg~ That is so not going to happen, cause that budget thing is *invinsible* =P

Elle peut quand elle veut.

i don't think it's a girl's room :)

in the cleanin' up process.

these, I don't want.

this, I don't wear.
Since I have NOTHING to post, I shall crap a bit about myself. For you people who are reading this, feel free to agree/disagree by tagging me yeah!

no.1 I'm just an ordinary girl, probably with a bit of SOMETHING in me. (Better than NOTHING =P)

the bad side of me

1. I (sadly) 'm very picky 'bout everything includin' friends. (what to do~ I'm tryin' to change.)
2. If I don't like you, it means everything you do/say will annoy me.
3. If I talk to you in a crude yet polite way, it means you'd better leave me alone.
4. If I don't reply your messages on msn after a very very long time, it means I really don't want to talk to you.
5. I'm lazy in all ways...
6. My mood changes with the weather. (Beware?)
7. I rarely talk to people I don't know.
8. If I'm dressed "cheap-skately", it means I'm going to "cheap-skate" places doing "cheap-skate" things.
9. I learnt from past life experiences that, boys younger than me (there're exceptions) can stop wastin' my time. My advice: jump off the cliff before I push you down myself. (Ooops...noo, I'm so bad.)
10. I'm kinda two-faced? I will treat you nice & kindly even though I don't like you. If I can treat you badly in a very obvious way, it means you're done for.

*ding dong* that's all for now =P

I have many lists!!!

1. VeryImportantPeople list: S3 asses, Pammie, Jennifer, OTM, my family.
2. Gentlement list: Izzat, Arif, Fido, Jon, Hanson.
3. Jerk list: (It's not good to list out =P)
4. BFFs: Betty, "some" from ASS.
5. Oh-no list: Fido (for the crazy/unbelievable things he does)
6. the Entertainer's list: Izzat and Jon.
7. the Listener's list: Arif and Ron. Pam and Jen.
8. Last but not 'least' it's -out of the list- means you suck big time!

ha-ha-ha-ha ^^v

Je ne peux pas aimer.

Zzz, I can't seemed to log into msn! First, it's connection failure, then it's incorrect username or password...wth! I haven't been online for two nights? Haha, only two nights. Zzz, I miss chatting with Ron, Arif, Hanson, Betty, Jon!! online =( Screw msn, screw internet connection...

So here I am, to update my blueyy bloggie!

Had dentist appointment on Monday morning~ p.s. I had my teeth cleaned, ish! I hate polishing! Anyway, reached home around 11am, had early lunch. Omg, then I took a nap from 12pm to 2pm xD That's like so wrong! Woke up at 2pm, and Teacher Pearly texted to cancel class cause dear Jennifer was not going. So surprisingly! I went to the piano at 2:30pm and spent 1.5 hours practicing scales!!! Omg~ haha! It felt really good though! I spent another hour practicing Bach's Fugue, which was so demm annnoying =P Didn't practice much on the violin, nor the flute nor the drums Oops! Not enough time.

Woke up at 7am this morning, had french replacement class at 9:30am. I drove down to Lorong Gurney again~ zzz, I drove the civic though =P How fun! It took me 1 hour to reach there and less than 20mins to go home. Mum sent me to Music Makers at 2pm. Teacher Pearly decided not to teach today cause she needed to rest~ So I spent 2 hours practicing piano again!!! *proud of myself* Left my flute and music books there since I am going there again tomorrow.

Fido picked me up at around six to go to OneU. How nice of him, I didn't have to drive. It was the first time I see him dressed up "formally" cause he just finished class at IMU~ usually he would wear just t-shirt, shorts and slippers! Ok, so he wanted to get some stuff, and I accompanied him to shop at OneU. I'm such a nice friend =P So we went to DKNY, Calvin Klein, French Connection, Zara, Topman, Padini, Armani Exchange, etc. Yeah, all branded shops!

Oh, we had McD for dinner xD Fido's so-called cheap skate dinner. Anyway, FINALLY! after walkin' all around up and down, he bought a Padini Tie for himself and a Sigma bottle for his nephew. Zzz, he wanted the DKNY Tie so much, but he didn't buy xD We actually sat down infront of DKNY thinking whether to buy or not to buy!! Even the sales guy was laughin' when he saw us sitting outside.

Mum and bro came to OneU at 9pm for dinner, so Fido didn't have to send me home~ and so I heard from him, that he went back to DKNY again after sendin' me to my mum! Now he loves the jeans. LOL! and I love one very nice dress from Armani Exchange. No thanks to Fido for takin' me into so many branded shops!! That dress costs at least RM300 =( Saw a pair of shoes in Sketchers which was beautiful too~ and I bought a dress from Polka Dots! o.o

I sooooo want to buy that Armani Exchange dress!!! anyway it's late and I should sleep! good night ppl~

If I could write "happy" tunes.

Shogun NOgun.

I know it's really late now and I should be sleeping because I have class in 9 hours' time. Shall quickly finish blogging and go to bed. Ok, fyi- c'est post for January 18 (Friday). Firstly...

Happy 18th Birthday to Izzat!

Woke up at 7am this morning and went for French class at 9:30am, finished at 1pm. Reached home half an hour later. Alone at home again, cause mum and bro went for cny shopping without me. Why? because I had plans =P

Spent two hours or so surfin' the net and chattin' with...JON! haha! and RON! until 3plus~ It was time to get ready to go out! Fido was surprisingly early! xD So yeah, I kinda rushed out my house, hence I forgot to wear my watch and I forgot my camera! Oh wells~

Anyway...Fido and I were like the earliest! LOL. So much for Jon askin' me to remind Fido not to be late and stuff~ haha! So since we were early, we were window shopping again while waitin'~ Fido was soo attracted to Zara's kids wear that we spent quite a while in there! Ok, then we met up with the others. (p.s. Xin Lyn was soo pretty tonight! Hanson came in shirt&slacks which made him look so demm smart xD Ron has a new style for his fringe =P)

Ok...I'm really tired I can't think what to write anymore...So...to be continue =) Oh and, I was practicing my flute just now...when it was 1am!!! hahaha!!! *proud*

Oh, they're broken.

Wonder how dull and boring my days would be, if I had no music classes or french classes to keep that titsy-witsy bit of discipline in me! I would have turn into a potato couch, or is it a couch potato =P whichever! Well, my days aren't that miserable yet! I wake up early these days for morning exercise (= So yeah, I'm not PIG even though I'm on sabbatical xD

Realise that it's January 17 today! I have practically 6 weeks til my audition for Berklee! and I am so dead! Haha! Pearly was just telling how much work I've got in these 6 weeks to get me well-prepared for the audition. Not to mention that I suck in playing Jazz! Improvisation! cause I studied classical and nothing else. OMG. Blues! *chup* I love jazz, I love blues, I love improvisation :) All I have to do is to practice harder and harder.

Thus! For the next 6 weeks or more, I will be spending my time at Music Makers everyday! practising... apparently I have more discipline there. HA-HA. Cause there's nothing there to distract me and there's nothing to do there except to practice. All the joy.

Anyway my apologiess for postin' in such mess. I should be practicing my instrument now!

Til then.

Oh look at these! They're my new year's resolutions!

1. Lose weight before 18 January 2008 - be fit and healthy, happy and noticable? xD
----Started doin' exercise everyday, and January 18 is tomorrow! haha. 50% BROKEN!

6. Use every 24 hours productively (; includin' spending time with my beloved ASSes.

Gershwin Darlings.

I had the busiest most tiring weekend in this wonderful 20th year of my life (lala, bare in mind that it was only the 2nd weekend of January haha!) Isn't it obvious?

Thursday, January 10

I woke up at 7am! but lazed around til 8am. Practiced piano til 9am, then another 30 minutes on the flute. Was all ready to go out by 10:30am! but, no. Anyway, I went to the Gardens at 11plus to meet a friend who turned up after twelve. Right, I think I'm the nicest human being on earth! Cause Aifang went straight home after waitin' 10 minutes for a guy who asked her out for lunch. Oh wells, we had lunch at Chili's and did some window-shopping at the Gardens. Ohmy, I just love the Gardens more than Mid Valley, less crowded. Had to leave at 2pm for flute lesson at 3pm. Went to Cheras Pantai to visit my uncle who had brain stroke, saw my cousins crying for the first time in my 20 years. Conversation at the Gardens not ended, to be continue...

Friday, January 11

Woke up at 7am again! Had french class from 9:30am to 1pm. Class was okay, enjoy learning the language (= Dad picked me up from Alliance Francaise and rushed to Bangsar for my flute lesson at 2pm. Had to work at the front desk because Aunt Molly couldn't come. So I worked til 8pm. Dad came to pick me up and we went to my uncle's house at Sungai Long. My uncle (dad's brother in law) has passed away... The doctor announced him brain dead at 5:30pm. Spent the whole night there, and reached home after midnight. Spent an hour on msn talkin to...I think Jon? Another late night.

Saturday, January 12

I woke up at 9am cause duet practice was at 9:45am. Decided to go home after violin class, cause I was too tired! Had flute lesson again, then violin lesson. Parents came to pick me up at twelve. Dad took me to Maxis to get my new maxis number. Yesh, I betrayed Digi. Reached home around 2pm. Was textin' Ron & Fido til I fell asleep on the comfy sofa~ haha! Anyway woke up at 6pm, had to go to uncle's house again to help out. We were not allow to laugh or smile but my uncles and grandfather ended up playing mahjong and my aunts were chatting away at one table. Had a good laugh at ourselves when my cousin sister showed us some really old photos of all of us. Left after midnight again! Spent a while on msn talkin' to...Jon again I think! haha! and Arif? Don't remember. lol~

Sunday, January 13

Drop dead tired. Woke up at 9am, which was so demm late! Rushed to Music Makers for final duet practice in front of the parents. Had to wait for Jennifer to finish teaching and get change. While waiting, Pam, Swathy and I had a good tiring laugh with Reena and Eric in the office as they joked away about how we dressed like waitresses. Right. We were all dressed in B&W, and I even looked like the hostess~ how "nice". Reached Roland Asia Pacific located at Dataran Prima at around noon, we were super early (= which was a benefit for us, to be recorded first before the other competitors arrived, so only one pair of duet heard us and we heard all of em. LOL! It was a good experience for me. Spending about 6 weeks on this jazzee yet classical piece; Three Preludes by George Gershwin. Pam&Jen and Swathy&I were the only duets who played Gerhswin. Unfortunately Sara&May didn't play Gershwin :( anyway, Proved that we can learn a piece so quickly if we practice. Okay...haha! Had serious headache after listening to two teachers perform for like 10 minutes. haha! anyway, went back to Bangsar at 4pm. Had lunch/tea/dinner at Marmalade with Albert and Jennifer, followed up with one junior scoop of Green Tea ice-cream from Baskin Robbins. Conclusion: Never gonna eat Baskin Robbins anymore, Haagen Daz is the best!!! Spent the whole night chattin' with Jon, Betty, Hanson, Arif, Izzat, and Fido~ thus, meetin' up with them this Friday! Cheers~

Spin the bottle.

First week of 2008 ended so quickly that I couldn't even catch a proper breath! I was as always busy at the music school for the weekend.

Went for my first French class of the year at Alliance Francaise on Friday morning. *I'd taken one semester of French few years back, unfortunately I stopped for a simple reason - School, too tiring. Oh, and I've learnt Japanese before too ;D Stopped in the end for the same reason. SADLY~ want to learn again though =P Rushed to Bangsar for duet practice with Swathy after lunch. Schedule got messed up so flute lesson was cancelled.

Had to wake up early on Saturday for Flute lesson. Saturdays have became rather borin' ever since I stopped working at the front desk. Could feel the emptiness, cause I have breaks in between classes. Played some pieces from the Groove Lab book during Flute lesson, realised that they were very nice (= I love the flute? Violin lesson was suckiee in the beginning, cause I was like so out of tune. Ish! T.T but overall it was fine after warmin' up. Have to practice more though!

I seriously think that my life is a little messed up now. Like, my sleepin' hours and not practicing as much hours as I should be practicing! Waking up late and watching tv. Omg, I so so so do not want to turn into a couch potato? or is it potato couch? =P

Woke up at 7 plus on Sunday, went to Music Makers at 9am for duet practice. This time, we had to play our piece for others to listen. "Others" here refers to Pam & Jen, Sara & May, who appear to be Swathy & Amanda's competitors in the Roland Piano Festival 2008 Competition. Haha, no no no, we're friends =P Anyway, Pam & Jen is playing Gershwin's Rhaspody in Blue while Sara & May is playing Scarra-sthg-sthg xD I have no idea how to spell. Worked from 10am to 3:30pm. OH, and I got to drive the Honda Civic to Bangsar cause dad wasn't free to fetch me! *YAY* Went home after that of course and there goes my Sunday~

I happily spent my nights chatting away with the ASSES =D and omg, I woke up at 11am today! =( Managed to practice the piano for like one hour before I went to Music Makers for piano class at 1:30pm. Well, I was so honest, I told Pearly that I didn't practice much. Hope that it will never happen again, cause going for music classes unprepared is really sufferin' and I struggle like crazy. =( Had duet practice with Swathy. It went well, there's nothing much we can really do at the point, except to practice more and work on the speed. The heats is on 13th January which is this Sunday!!! Really hope to get into the finals though.

That's all for what Amanda did ~

Nobody spinned the bottle,
yet the secret is no more a secret now!
Betty, oh Betty!
Izzat, oh Izzat!
I'm so dead.
Izzat took action too quickly!
Everyone includin' ME,
shocked and speechless.

Good night people! Zzz~

Crush or Crash.

Omg, it has passed midnight now. Another late night! Demm, this is so wrong. My hours are so messed up lately! Will quickly finish this post and go to bed.

Woke up at 11am today. Sat in front of my laptop was the first thing I did. Wth~ haha. Went out for lunch at Taman Desa. Reached home around three, then parents left for Ipoh with my brother while I stayed at home (; Hanson came over to grab photos, and I meant really grabbing tons of photos. Haha! Apparently he lost almost all of the ASSes' photos, should we like screw him or something? Anyways, he left and I started practicing my flute, since I did not practice for the past "so many days". AND, I'm so dead tomorrow cause I didn't touch the piano at all. Craps. I've seriously got to arrange my time properly, to start working hard again next week!!

Was all alone at home til 10 plus. Had salad and cottage pie for dinner (= Talked to Ron in the afternoon and Betty at night, about some unbelievable crazy stuff. Uhm, I still can't imagine that it's happening. We'll see if it's true or just some sudden wrong instinct in the coming days~

That's all for today, photos now (;

Unforgetable New Year

Hello, everyone. It's 2008. I wanted to post on the 1st, but I wasn't at home and I was too tired. Anyways, I'm finally home. However, already missing my friends very muchy! ); Something for a change, I had a different new year! I spent it with this one group of friends who I think is my closest group of friends (:

ASSes' New Year's Eve Gathering (;

Azlina, Betty, Amanda, AiFang, Fido, Izzat, Arif, Siow, Hanson.

Hanson came over to fetch me from my house at 5pm, then we went to Sunway to pick up Aifang from college. We then took the train from Kelana Jaya to KLCC, to avoid the jam. Met up with Betty, Azlina, Siow and Arif at KLCC moments after we reached. Had dinner at Nando's while waiting for Fido and Izzat (smart guys who drove to KLCC!) Both of them were like so amazed that we took the train!

Strolled around KLCC for awhile, doing some hilarious stuff. Haha!

- we love (; -

After that, we walked to the park, and spents 4 hours on the grass (; There and then, it was 11:30pm, and it started to dizzle 'heavily' SAD. We were reluctant to leave the place but we did. So yeah, what a disappointment! Cause the smart guys who drove there were so lucky they stayed back to see the fireworks on the way to Izzat's car. WTH~ For those who took the train, we saw the fireworks from the train stations. So Yesh!! I saw fireworks at KLCC, Dataran Merdeka, practically the whole of KL city, KL Sentral and lastly Midvalley ;D

In three cars, we headed to Betty's house. Stopped at a mamak for a drink on the way cause some of us were hungry and some were demm thirsty like me ;P I felt so sick after drinking a glass of orange juice and a cup of teh tarik, which was so demm wrong. Reached Betty's house at around 2am. The guys knocked out after spending awhile in Betty's room chatting and crapping. Azlina was drop dead sleeping right after she bathed and Jacqueline slept after the guys went away, Aifang slept around 4/5 in the morning while Betty and I stayed up the whole night! We didn't sleep! Haha!

Betty and I were dying to sleep but we didn't because we were afraid that we might not wake up in time to join the others when they wake up. Haha! So we went for a morning jog, which was so nice. I'm in love with Gita Bayu the housing area where Betty's house is situated. TREES & NO POLLUTION. What do you know, we were so tired that we fell asleep on the sofa in the living room, the others woke up like so demm late Haha! The sofa was so so so comfy at that time! Sadly, Fido snapped a photo of me sleeping, which was so embarassing! haha!

The girls left for Jusco to get stuff for BBQ while the guys lazed at home. BBQ was short and sweet, ended early because Izzat, Fido and Azlina had class today. Then Siow and Arif had to go home after BBQ so Hanson didn't stay back SO! Jon didn't get to stay back cause there were no guys left =P By 9, the house was like so empty, we felt so empty after the guys left. haha!! Anyways, Betty and Aifang were like so tired they fell asleep while Jacqueline and I crazed around on the webcam with Jonathan online. Hahahaha! which was the CRAZIEST THING I EVER DID!

- me! reindeer! -

Woke up at 10:30am today, had girl's talk with Betty and Aifang cause I didn't have to leave at 11am. We had lunch before leaving Serdang. Took the KTM to KL sentral, while Jacque stopped at Midvalley station. That's all for my wonderful 3D2N gathering with the ASSes, my beloved friends!

My head was 'exploding' after practicing with Swathy at Music Makers. Went home and fell asleep. However, I really had a great time with them~ and I miss them so much now! =( Oh wells, we'll be meeting in 16 days from now =D

p.s. to view my photos, please head to my friendster or facebook ;D til then.
