Good hair days have been more frequent for me lately ! Maybe it's because I've stopped blow drying my hair ? I'm letting my hair air dry itself hoping it would be less frizzy, and it seems to be working, slowly. It's becoming as soft as it used to ! :3 So yeah, lesson learnt. I'm not going to use heat on my hair unless it's a special occasion. HAHAHAH.

I was looking forward to school today but all the schools in KL and Selangor have been ordered to close due to the haze. I can't remember the last time schools were closed down due to the haze. Sigh. Now that my studies have been interrupted and I've been thrown off track, what is there to do at home ? Well, I'm blogging. And I should probably do a little bit of revision later.

These pictures were taken last week (see! another backlogged post) at Sunway Pyramid when I went out with my mom and sis for shopping :) We decided to have an early dinner before going back home, and we always seem to end up at Asian Avenue so we could tapao porridge for my grandpa. We dined at Snowy !! I've always wanted to try the food here...

Pretty mom :)

The picture was taken before the everything was shrouded in haze. 

Fruit Platter consisting of mangoes, kiwi, papayas, watermelon and wintermelon for RM7. I felt so healthy HAHAHAH. I think I'll be eating there if I ever hang out at Pyramid. It'll be a nice and healthier change instead of Hot&Roll and whatever else I always eat there.

Mom and Sis's food :)

I'm looking to Form 6 week !! It's just around the corner and I've been practising with my friends and seniors. Hopefully everyone's hard work and effort will be rewarded with great results. It's my first time dancing Dikir Barat (although it's mainly just hand movements), but practises have been fun, so I hope the real thing would be a super energetic and full of energy !!

Seik Yng had Jajangmyeon ! :)

Weekends. They were supposed to be my break from the hectic week that every student goes through..... Unless they skipped school of course. That wouldn't be fair !! I grew up my whole life forcing myself to go to school even if I'm sick and yet there are people who skip school because they "don't feel like it". I don't know what to make of it actually. Sometimes I'd be angry and at other times I'm like "Meh".

So this weekend has been a busy one ! On Saturday there was CFN ! Or campfire night, as they call it. It was my first time attending Seafield's Campfire because they never invited other troops before. This time, however, they invited U8, SAS and Catholic. HAHAH. And because of that I got to meet up with some JUTU members :) It's been a long time since I last saw their faces :) Brings back the jamboree memories !! Speaking of which, I forgot to take pictures with them again sigh.

I'm still wondering if it was worth RM25. I heard from a few people that it was more expensive compared to the previous year's CFN. The only part that attracted me was the fire performance. They were spectacular and I believe that they put in alot of effort for that. The other performances were great as well :) They kept me entertained for the rest of the night, but none of them really stood out like a sore thumb. I guess I just wasn't hyped enough. None of the campfires I went to were as hyped up as Kelana Jaya's in 2008, and Yvonne agress with me ! Oh well. The food was kinda okay I guess. The rice was really hard and the vege tasted like the kind they use to make Asam Laksa. Not to mention the syrup was very diluted. It's just my personal opinion though. You probably have your own.

Failed group pictures HAHAHAH. Last picture from left : Yvovnne, Me, Seik Yng, Yan, Carol :)

Tell me why my fringe always becomes so ugly when I leave the house :|

My fringe is poking my eyes (*-*)

*gasp*

I wish a day had more than 24 hours. 

I'm proud of my memory ability. Of course, I'll lose to a computer, library or a phone because I don't store information like they do, but I have a brain and I use it. And it's thank to the fact that I can remember so many things that I'm able to score well in my exams. I'm not the kind of student who reads and digests information. I'm the kind that gobbles everything up like a pig and then vomit them all onto my test papers. Yupp. And right after the exam it's like I can barely remember anything. This probably applies to most of you as well. 

The tough part of it is maintaining or improving our memory. After just 3 days of studying again I feel like a rusted nail no longer able to be used. (that just came to mind because well, I think my friends and I normally say "I karat alreaydy"). I stare at the questions and notes for a tremendously long time before I understood it. I haven't used my brain to study since December last year, and have been slacking because I had nothing to do. I really felt the side effects of not studying continuously yesterday when it took me about 2 hours just to understand a 4 paged sub topic -______- Time to start up the studying gear before it's too late rawr.




By the way, did you know that stress is one of the worst enemies to have ? Be it yours or mine, if it's bad stress it'll always eat away at you from your core no matter how strong your mentality is. Depression is worse. I don't know how you deal with stress but if I were you, just sit back and take a short nap. Don't let it consume you. Just take some time off and relax. If you can't get off the Internet, might I suggest you visit The Quiet Place ? I like it there. Hehe. Although I strongly that you take a short nap instead of still being on the Internet. They say that it's easier to absorb whatever you read or learnt :) And besides, being sleep deprived adds a bucket load of stress on your body and mind.

Oh well. Time to do another brain workout !! Hehe. And by that, I didn't mean studying. There are other things you could do as well. Like playing instruments, concentration exercises, sudokus, crossword puzzles, etc. Or you could play the typical memory game HAHAHA. I prefer playing the piano and playing sudokus though.... OHHH and speaking of my piano, I haven't been uploading any recordings lately eh ? I'll try to get one up before the holidays are over :) Gimme a comment if you think I should ! HEHE. :)



PS : The pictures and blog content are so different from each other HAHAHAHA. Sorry bout that! The headache I had last night still isn't gone yet :( Not even after a night's worth of sleep !! T_________T
