| misz_licorice has moved.
Find me at blogspot.
It was fun while it lasted, Xanga. Sniff. | | |
| Since this site is virtually dead, I have considered moving. I've already set up a new page and everything. It's still naked tho cos I can't be bothered to edit all the HTML and put in this and that and my links and a header, and bla bla bla. But it's up.
Xanga was just getting old.
It was originally http://ohlookitsmirah.blogspot.com/ but then I thought I'd go with something, much, much simpler, so it became http://amynixx.blogspot.com/.
Yea. So unpredictable. But it makes life so much easier y'know. I mean, it's the same on Livejournal, Photobucket, Multiply, etc. ... Any suggestions?
The move isn't finalized yet cos I'm still contemplating.. so in the mean time, I'm still here. But I think I'll be making the decision by New Year's Day.
In the mean time, I just saw our timetable for next year on Amielia's Xanga, and everything's all haywire. :(
I have P.E. on TUESDAYS. Which means, I have P.E. on ASSEMBLY DAY. Which means, I don't wear my baju kurung on TUESDAYS. Which means, I'll be experiencing a discomfort when I change into my clothes AFTER P.E. And did I mention that P.E. is after break? God damn it's gonna be so HOT. :(
AND WE HAVE ALL THREE SCIENCE SUBJECTS ON TUESDAYS. What? Did they want us to die of mental and physical exhaustion on the second day of the week? Ok fine so P.E. is barely physically challenging, but remember - we SWIM fortnightly. :(
I'm going to hate Tuesdays.
Whoever organized this timetable didn't think of us. If only this was like KTJ where our timetables were changed every semester..
I'm sorry I'm such a drama queen.
Call me anal, but I like to be organized in everything I do. Or at least, I try to be. It gives me this sense of control, and I know this sounds really stupid, but I feel more.. lega you know, with a system? I'm sort-of like an objective person. So I had everything planned out, you know. And when I mean everything.. I mean everything. I've even got my uniform and shoes planned out.
You heard me.
I was planning on wearing baju kurungs on alternate days. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The Agama classes fit in nicely cos their on Mondays and Wednesdays. And I was hoping PE would fall on one of these days, but it didn't.. :( Cos I hate changing in and out of the prefect uniform. And I was planning on wearing that on Tuesdays and Thursdays, cos assembly is on Tuesdays and I look like a peach when I wear my blazer over my baju kurung.
And don't even get me started on SHOES. I'm buying two black shoes for school, see. One pair is the leathery slip-ons, and another is the laced up PVC(?) ones for sports. This is cause I was intending on wearing the latter days only once a week - on P.E. days - cos I can't run in the slip-ons, and I'm not gonna bother bringing sport shoes to school.
See? I've got everything planned out. Seriously. And don't look at me like that. :)
Did I tell you my schoolbag for 2007 was bought from Roxy? Cringe. It's not that I don't like the brand, don't get me wrong, it's just it's so.. common. Bleh. The only reason I bought it was cos my mum pushed me into it. And why? Cos if I buy it, she'll get a 20% discount on Maria's schoolbag. But it's nice la I guess. So I suppose I'm happy. :P It's black, and shiny. And square. Haha.
My tuition is all set for the big 07 too. SPM and everything, gahh. It seems like everyday is full. :( Cos I might be taking Kumon again. I know I knowwww. I haven't gone for a year, but lately I've been thinking about it.. Form 1, 2, and 3 mathematics was such a breeze for me because of Kumon, I kid you not. It really did help me, and if I hadn't succumbed to laziness, I could probably be doing level K by now. I'd probably catch up on Add Math a lot faster this year too.. But if I join in January, I'll start with level I and I hate that level. :(
But if I don't take up Kumon, I'll only have Accounts on Tuesdays, BM on Wednesdays, piano on Fridays, and Physics on Saturdays.
I decided not to have Add Math tuition on a regular basis, but rather during holidays if I need it. Crap man, I'm gonna be a SENIOR next year.
Okay that's it, no more school tuition talk!
--------------------
I baked today! Or rather. I was forced into baking. Elena's having a party tonight so she made me help her bake or else she'd never drive me anywhere else. So really, I had no choice. :) We were baking Gooey Chocolate Stack taken from Nigella Lawson's cookbook. Everything looked so yummmyyy.. We had some .. difficulties, though. Haha. :P We had to call my mum at least 10 times to ask her what was "baking sheet" and "Gas Mark 1" and golden caster sugar" hahahaha so funny. She was so annoyed I think she hung up on us at one point. It didn't look exactly like the one in the book but it was alright for our first attempt. :)
I know how to make meringue now! :D
Mummy says we'll be doing Molten Chocolate Babycakes soon, and Creme Brulee once she buys the blowtorch. Mmmmm I can't wait. :D | | |
| I've never been happier - I just got the Mini from the Apple Service Centre. WOOOHOOOOOOO. It feels so good using the desktop again - I never really fancied the laptop. The screen's so much bigger and everything looks more familiar. Yay. Apparently, the guy said that my hard drive crashed, heh, so they had to replace it. The damage? RM790. Goddamn. He said it was due to excessive heat, so, um, I guess it was my fault.. Eheh. No more leaving the computer on overnight, I guess. :) But, I now have DASHBOARD! Yippee! :D:D .. And something called Autonomator (sp?) but whatever. Other than the fact that internet connection is really pundek, everything's fine. My MUSIC and PHOTOS (priority numero uno) were successfully backed up so yippidee. I didn't have any other important documents, so.. I even took the liberty of cleaning out my iTunes and from 1300+ songs, I now have 1201.
All I have to do now is wait for the people to repair the cables affected by the Taiwan Quake and I'll be able to download iTunes 7, MSN Windows Live, and new songs (!!!!). Happy happy joy joy.
And no this isn't the best part, oh nooo. Last year, a few weeks before I went to Italy, my iPod suddenly went whacked and I couldn’t update songs from my iTunes, so I haven’t used my iPod the whole year. But ever since my hard drive was replaced, it re-installed everything so now I CANNNNNN! :D The only thing is the backlight in my iPod is out, so. Yeah. -_-
I sent my Mini to the Service Centre in BSC, so I went to Times for a looksie before my sister came to pick me up.
One of my guilty pleasures are, and get ready for it..
Stationery shopping.
Seriously.
It's like I get a rush from browsing through pens, highlighters, pencils, erasers, notebooks, folders, crayons, post-its, staplers and papers of all sorts. Leave me in a bookshop all alone with a lot of time and I'll be just fine. I'm like a little kid with candy whenever I get the chance to buy stationery. Which is why I love going to Popular at the end of the year, to restock my pencil box with all sorts of goodies. I know this sounds really lame, but when I'm faced with so many decisions, I suddenly start considering every option and I won't leave the shop until someone makes the choice for me. For example, I spent fifteen minutes buying a roller Q-tip in Popular yesterday. I took the diameter of the roller into consideration, the discounts, the free refills, the price, and yes, I can go on.
Tom Hanks said to Meg Ryan in You've Got Mail, "I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address." | | |
| I should have informed this earlier, but..
SRIKDU'S YEARBOOK 2006 IS NOW AVAILABLE IN STORES NEAR YOU!
Nawh, just our Administration actually. So go get your copy guys.
It's pretty cool how everything came through. Props to our team! :D I personally like the cover, too, and it's a shame a few articles weren't published. I thought it was good, save for a few of the printed pages which were not what you would call good quality but oh well nothing's perfect.. Good luck Editorial Board 2007!:D
----------------
Ten more days till the start of a new year. Shit. Everything's happening too fast.. Maria's even gonna be in the secondary block! She's in freaking 1 Jenner. Hahahaha. No offense, to 1J of 2006, k, I'm just poking fun at the name. :P I'm gonna be in FORM FIVE OMG. But we're not exactly the seniors cos we have IB kids. :p Geez. Hahahha. Did you know Paramount Championship is gonna be spread out during the first term next year?
Whoa.
I watched Godfather today while eating kacang Cap Tangan. Geez all the gore and blood.
"Leave the gun, take the cannolis." <- My favourite line.
I had a hard time understanding the movie at first tho cos we were watching it on laser-freaking-disc and there were no subtitles, and we ALL know how Marlon Brando mumbles. Lol. :p
Anyway, what are your plans for New Year? | | |
| Well, I'm glad we've cleared that up. It's okay SummerMarissa! I understand annoying younger siblings. Hehehe. :)
----------------------------
So anyway, I just finished Add Math with Cheryl and she covered the subtopics in Chapter 9 which Chewie left out.. and call me a geek but I actually enjoyed myself. She gave me a sample of Paper 2 as homework and I was all gungho about completing it the night itself until I went to Question 2 of Section A and just went "Roiiiiight.." and closed the book.
Tomorrow's a new day!
(Did I mention I have physics homework as well? And a MINDMAP to construct? I don't believe in colours and mindmaps in "enhancing memory skills" cos I've always been a by-the-book person, but if Zoran says it works..)
I finally finished my CPE exam today. Writing was BALLS! It was as if my mind shutdown temporarily (like you know those lockdowns in Prison Break?) and I had to rewrite BOTH my essays twice. Reading was bollocks, too. So I just hope I get a merit at the very least. Bla bla bla. Went to Swensen's for ice cream in the evening with Appa and Maria and I had Sticky Chewy Chocolate which is sinfully delicious btw. My dad then said, "Eh, you lost weight already don't put it back on lahh."
-_-
I was also watching Entourage with Elena in the living room downstairs, and then I suddenly saw boobies in the Pyjama Party @ Playboy Mansion episode and I just went,"OKAAAAAY" and left for dinner.
By the way, momo surprised me with a call today. From the navy ship. :) He is coming home on Sunday evening so babi lah. Not to mention that cellphones ARE allowed in the camp, but he just didn't bring his. -_- He's in Langkawi now and he'll be in Lumut tomorrow! My military man, hehe. :) I rindu lahhhhh. :(
But anyway, I'll be buying school books tomorrow. And hopefully clean my room desk so you can see another Oprah before&after transformation. I still have pictures from Najwa's party but the computers I've been using are sooooo slow so I'll have to wait until my Mini comes back but it's taking forever cos the guy still hasn't called me back.
OOH by the way Elena finally got her hands on Light Grenades so I'm listening to Incubus' new album and my current favourite is Oil and Water. I hope they come down again next year.. They'll be on their World Tour but they haven't announced whether or not they'd come back, so keep your hands crossed people.
Oklah I think I'm going to hit the snooze button now. (OMGIT'SNOTEVENTWELVE!) | | |
