Bizarre Dream

Talk about kissing... (blush, blush)

Okay...I had a bizarre dream on Friday morning, which I think is a result of watching Korean dramas and reading vampire stories.

My dream..of course, a combination of the drama I watched, My Girl and the vampire story I'm reading, Twilight. I was a vampire in my dream, and so is my.....mate? Haha. My mate is the main male character in the drama. We had a vampire family and the Rosalie in my dream is a girl in my school that I wouldn't want to talk to. Weird eh? >.<

There was a kiss in my dream. I guess that was because of a kiss that I saw in My Girl. The kiss in the drama was AMAZING. Listen to how the guy says "I love you", so passionate and full of love. Plus the way he kissed made him looked like he is a good kisser. Better than Robert Pattinson. HAHA

See...from 5:20


The kiss in my dream was nothing like that, of course. Or else I would faint in my dream. The kiss in my dream was...nice. ^^ I guess that's the best I can describe it. Haha. I swear my heart was beating like crazy that time.

Hark the teenager is talking about kissing, she is crazy!!!

Gosh, this is SO embarrassing...

P/s: Please listen to 降落傘! I don't have the last three songs in my playist because I still haven't like them... >.< The last song in my playist, Touch Your Heart is just a song for the Welcome To Taiwan thingy...

You are back

You are back
I supposed I should be happy
But you
brought unhappiness upon me
or
it is I myself
who brought unhappiness upon myself?
Why?
Why did this happen?
It makes me fear
that your presence brings unhappiness to me
instead of happiness
You make me want to run away
To a place where there is your absence
You make me cry
and fly into the arms of Her
I miss Her
So much now
Because I am not happy now
I crave and yearn
for the warmness of the embrace of Her
Is it so
that because I was the only one present here
so when you came back
all fault is my responsible?
I regret
that I seem not to make you happy enough
I am sorry
I question myself
Why are you not satisfied with me
even though when others are?
Maybe, maybe
alone is the best for me
I am not lonely when I am alone
At least,
I am not unhappy when I am alone
Is that reason good enough to be alone?


To You,
I love you
But I am sad


To Her,
I wish to fly in your arms now
Will you accept me?
I am falling of the cliff now
Nowhere to drop to
Please say yes
Please.....

Now I know where I'm gonna sit!

Ten Months

Continued from previous...

To me, the arrival of spring meant another. Its arrival meant time. Ten months. I have lived in Vietnam for ten solid months. I couldn’t bring myself to believe how time flew, just before my eyes. It seemed like it was only yesterday that I have arrived at Ho Chi Minh City. I remembered my first day at school. Everything and every person that I could see with my curious eyes were all fascinating to me. Never in my lifetime have I ever seen so many white people. My heart was beating furiously against my ribs, full of nervousness and excitement. That was eight months ago. That was when my feelings were blurred by my visions. Everything was gradually clear now. I wasn’t so excited anymore. Things and people that were charming seemed alarming to me.

I was having lunch with my usual group of friends. They talked while I ate. I didn’t usually talk, I preferred to listen.

“Hey, did you guys see that Jennifer was always in a wanting to puke stage today? Do you know what I think?” Val asked us. In her voice, I could her that she was dying to tell us what she thought, but she also wanted the same level of enthusiasm from us. I kept my head down though, concentrating on my lunch, not giving Val the attention that she wanted.

“What?” mused Kae. Good thing Kae was interested in the subject, or Val would be upset.

Short Strory

I started to write my short story. I have only wrote 158 words. I'm posting it here, to let you guys read. A few days ago, I started thinking about what to write.

I thought of stuff that I'm more familiar with: friends, jealousy, homesick, and culture stress. I thought of writing a boy's relationship with his younger brother. I think one of my problems may be the names for my characters. I don't want to use English names for my non-English characters.

Now, I decided to write from the first person point of view as I could write more about the narrator's thoughts if I used this perspective. I think mainly of my story would be about friends and culture stress. I might be writing about myself!

So, here is the starting of my essay, I have not edit it, it's just a ROUGH draft.

It was March, which meant spring was here. How was spring supposed to be? As much as I knew, spring should be happy, green and full of flowers. That’s what I only knew about spring. Spring has arrived, but there wasn’t much change in the weather as I wasn’t living in a four seasons’ country. I was living in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, a place that is like summer throughout its three hundred and sixty five days. In fact, before I came to here, I had only lived in my home country, Malaysia. That was why I knew so little about spring, information that I acquired about spring was from images from books or cartoons. The only weather that I had experienced and was truly familiar with was just hot, hot and hot. The weather of spring didn’t mean a lot to me.

To me, the arrival of spring meant another. Its arrival meant time. Ten months.

Right or Wrong?

1. I think I have to rethink my actions and attitude. I am not always right.

2. If a quiz asks me whether I'm happy, I would answer, "Yes". The truth is, I answered yes because I think there is nothing to be unhappy about. Now, I question myself, if I think so, am I truly happy?

3. Anyways, time for music. ^^ I want to introduce two pieces of music to my faithful blog readers. These two pieces of music are soundtracks from the Harry Potter movie, written by John Williams, currently the most famous and richest movie music writer.

Firstly, Harry's Wondrous World


Secondly, Hedwig's Theme


Another movie music writer that I admire is Andrew Lloyd Webber. He wrote the music for The Phantom of the Opera. Don't tell me you don't know his music!

假期啦~

Okay~假期啦！这次的假期是春假，花蝴蝶飞出来咯！哈哈，要替蔡依林打歌。^^

My science project was finally over on Wednesday,这次的project真的是困难重重来。>.< 本来拍完整个影片，结果那个file convert不到。所以要重做。告诉老师的时候，我还在老师的面前哭了出来。>.<啊~我可是第一次在这间学校大庭广众哭了出来。那时的心情是upset and disappointed，因为那时的感觉是付出的努力好像没有收获。老师对我很好，没有生气，还多给一点时间让我完成。

要搬家咯~下个星期六就要搬家了。由于爸爸换工作，早上不能一起坐车去学校，所以要搬去离学校很近的地方。所以……开学开始我就要开始走路去学校咯~

这个假期，除了功课、弹钢琴和准备搬家之外，I need to write a short story that is 1500 words length because I'm planning to compete in a short story competition. I have some ideas in my mine about what I might write about but I have really decided yet as I have not started to really sit down and think about it. Wish me luck! I hope that I will succeed in finishing this story. ^^

Spring is here, which means about one month later, I will be going to Malaysia! Haha. Actually I planned some of my activities during my stay at Malaysia in my head.
30/4 Arrive at Malaysia at 2pm
1/5 Go out with Zm, Jm, Chyn (Haven's ask any of them yet)
2/5 Music-Man concert
3/5 Go out with Chong Hwa friends
4/5 Back to Vietnam
Not sure about my plan though, they are just what I thought what I might do.

Personality Quizzes

I took some personality quizzes today and I'm posting the results here as I think they are quite true. Tell me if you think they are true!

Your view on yourself:

Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them. (I know I hide my true self >.<)

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes. (Yes, I do like serious, smart and determined people. But that doesn't mean I dislike people that are not serious, smart and determined. Yes, sometimes I find myself liking people that are not really good looking. Looks doesn't mean EVERYTHING. Especially those good looking but mean people, I really dislike those people.)

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship. (This is very important! It's too 冲动 to be with someone that you don't really understand)

The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates. (Straightforward? Am I?)

Your views on education

Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own. (Haha, sometimes, maybe)

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life. (Not sure about this though...)

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous. (I HAVE TO change this attitude of mine >.<)

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

2nd test:

1. You are a very serious person. You tend to be quiet and well behaved, and you don't have a great deal of self-confidence. You prefer to be alone rather than with friends and that could make you a little less interesting to certain types of guys. You are very attractive in an individual kind of way, and this means it can take people a little while to get to like you.
2. You really care about other people's feelings and are quite serious about the issues that affect your life. You are sincere, and your concern for the well-being of others makes many people want to be your friend.
3. You are a bright, cheerful and bubbly person. You are thoughtful and considerate, and like to have fun. Everybody feels comfortable around you because of your pleasant nature. When you walk into a room, people's eyes are likely to be drawn to you because of your charm.
4. Guys see you as being a thinker and a careful person. They will be really attracted to this quality in you, but you need to learn to speak your mind, otherwise people will find you too shy and quiet. Learn to relax and lighten up--it's okay to have fun sometimes. When you learn to develop your fun-loving side, guys are going to flock to your side.
5. Your boyfriend believes that you are a strong and independent person. Your confidence and cheerfulness make you an attractive person to be around, but sometimes you need to pay more attention to what other people, including your boyfriend, are thinking.

3rd:

Your kindness is your charm - you are also gentle and sweet. Everybody likes to be around people with your personality. Like a psychologist, people like to talk to you to discuss their problems because you are proper and discrete, as well as confident. You look mature and people respect you. People with this kind of character are few and far between.

Yes or No?

School is going to hold a competition, called SSIS Idol (Saigon South International School). I have never intended to sign up for it. Today, Jenny, Hain and Diep came over to shoot videos for the science project. We talked about Hain signing up for SSIS Idol. Jenny wanted me to duet with Hain at SSIS Idol. Hain was planning to sing When You Believe (it's in my mp3 playist).

Aaahh...I don't know what to decide. When You Believe is a very big song, sang by Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston. Plus I am not very familiar with the song. I have no confidence. To sign up for the competition, I think a lot. Hain doesn't even know how she wants to present this song when she has already signed up for one month! And she doesn't have the karaoke version. >.< Hain's voice is good 可是我对他没自信．不是声音，而是性格．她太懒惰了．如果答应跟他一起表演，如果她又是个很懒惰练习的人呢？

想太多了吧？我不知道……该怎么决定。

Tomatoes and Lettuce

I never like tomatoes. To me, they taste disgusting. Even the small ones from Cameron Highlands. I almost puked when I ate one of those. Today, something happened to me that made me confirm more about my dislike towards tomatoes.

What happened? As usual, I walked into Algebra class and sat down at my usual spot, after throwing my bag on my chair. After about five minutes of an action of pulling my calculator from my bag, I felt my pants were really wet. I was panic stricken. I was having my menstruation and I feared that...ya..you know what I meant >.< So, of course, I went to the toilet (we call it bathroom here, don't know why when you can't bath in it).

I felt the back tip of my shirt was wet too, so I took of my shirt and peered at the spot. It didn't look like blood. It looked like I sat on food that was somewhat red in color. My pants were, of course, wet. But it wasn't blood too. It was another thing. I couldn't recall when I had brushed myself against food. It wasn't lunch yet, I haven't been to the cafeteria. I couldn't figure out how I got food on myself.

I went back to class. Before I sat on my chair, I noticed there was something red and green on my seat. It was TOMATOES and LETTUCE. HaH! I stared the tomatoes and lettuce so long that Molly (the girl that sits beside me in Algebra class) turned and looked at the red and green things that were squishy. She raised her head and asked, "Were you sitting on that?" I could only answer her a feeble "I don't know." Molly was kind. She helped my wiped away the squishy stuff and said she was sorry (not that she put the stuff there, she just felt sorry for me). Ahh..tomatoes, I will never eat you again.

Anyways, an electric guitar was bought today for my brother. I plan to take guitar lessons, but not until my piano Grade 8 practical exam is over. My brother had his first guitar lesson yesterday, so he taught me the only three notes that he knows how to play on the guitar, E, F and G. Well, I have learned music for several years, with the three notes that my brother taught me, I soon figured out some other notes and played Mary Had A Little Lamb and 客人来 on the guitar. I was proud of myself, haha. My first two songs that I played on a guitar! I will post a picture of the electric guitar soon, I promise. ^^

Realization

今天我发觉到
当你找到一个人的缺点的时候
你会把那个缺点无限的放大
所以
你对那个人的愤怒也会渐渐的……
更加生气
当然
这不是好事
毕竟
退一步
海阔天空
但是
心中就是很不甘
为什么
她不要改
可是
我又不愿意告诉她
我其实
很生气她
无奈
是我错
还是
她错？
所谓
当别人不能改的时候
你就改
固执的我又说
如果我改
不会帮了她
只会害了她
那我还要改吗？
借口
是吧？
都是借口
明天
是新的一天
然而
我怀疑
我是否有再面对她的力气
想放弃了
她
不是我17年以来
交朋友的其中一种类型
是的
类型
我始终相信
交朋友
是有类型的
交到合不来的朋友
还真的是
歹势！

21 Questions

Got these 21 questions from a note of my friend's in facebook. She tagged me, so I'm answering them here.

1. What is more difficult for you, looking into someones eyes when you are telling them how you feel, or looking into someone’s eyes when they are telling you how they feel?

I think looking into someone's eyes when I am telling them how I feel is more difficult for me because I have problems looking into someone's eyes even though I'm talking about something ordinary!

2. Think of the last time you were REALLY angry. WHY were you angry? Do you still feel the same way?

Ahh..I don't remember. Haha. I get angry frequently, but sometimes I can't remember them. Should be about one of my friends from here or my brother. No, I don't feel the same way now as I don't even remember what was the last thing I was angry about!

3. You are on a flight from Honolulu to Chicago nonstop. There is a fire in the back of the plane. You have enough time to make ONE phone call. Who do you call? What do you tell them?

Well, of course the common answer SHOULD be family. But considering the situation now, I'm seeing my family everyday, I think I would like to call someone I love that is in Malaysia. It's a her. That is because I missed her dearly and I hope to listen to her voice just before I die. She's a cousin.

4. You are at the doctor’s office and he has just informed you that you have approximately one month to live. Do you tell anyone/everyone you are going to die? What do you do with your remaining days? Would you be afraid?

Yes, I would tell everyone that I'm going to die. I'm going to die, can't I have attention on me for one last month? I would do everything! First, say goodbye to my friends in Vietnam and fly back to Malaysia and enjoy myself. I would be afraid, of course, but I would make sure that my last month would be the happiest month ever.

7. You are unfaithful to your spouse/significant other. Do you tell him/her? Why or Why not?:

If I'm unfaithful, it SHOULD be because I'm madly in love with the other person. Then yes, I would tell him because that's the only way to be fair to him.

8. Your friend confesses that he/she has feelings for you more then just friendship. He/she is falling in love with you. What do you do/say?

If he is a person that I have never dreamed of being together with him, I would say, "I never expected that and I don't know that I would fall in love with you in the future but now I just want to be your friend."

9. Are you the kind of friend that you would want to have as a friend?

Erm, I don't think so. I think people that are close to me is because they have known me for a VERY LONG time. I have a kind of feeling HERE that some people talk to me because they need help for homework >.< So...pityful? I don't know.

10. Does love = sex?

Of course not. Sex is like an element of love. They don't equal.

11. When was the last time you told someone HONESTLY how you felt regardless of how difficult it was for you to say? Who was it? What did you have to tell the person?

WOW..I don't understand the question. Haha

12. What would be (or what was) harder for you to tell a friend, you love them or that you do not love them back?

I do not love them. However, I'm not a person that easily says that I love them.

13. What do you think would be the hardest thing for you to give up? Why would it be hard to lose?

People that I love. Because it takes a partial of my heart away to give up the love that I have for them.

14. Excluding romantic love, when was the last time you told someone you loved them? Who were they to you?

Erm..I think it was weeks ago. She was one of my best friends.

15. Imagine: it is a dark night, you are alone, it is raining outside, you hear someone walking around outside your window. WHO do you wish was there with you?

This is difficult. I don't want someone that I wish to see is soaking wet under the rain!

16. Would you give a homeless person CPR if they were dying? Why or Why not?

Yes, a life is priceless. Would you hope for someone to give you CPR when you are dying?

17. You are holding onto your grandmother’s hand and the hand of a newborn that you do not know as they hang over the edge of a cliff. You have to let one go to save the other. Who do you let fall to their death? What was your reason for making the decision?

My grandmother. I think she would agree with me as the newborn has a big whole future in front of him/her.

18. Are you old fashioned?

I am VERY traditional, compared to the people here. >.<

19. When was the last time you were nice to someone and did NOT expect anything in return for it?

Last week. I got a nasi lemak today in return!

20. Which would you choose, true love with a guarantee of a broken heart, or never loved at all? Why?

True love with a guarantee of a broken heart. At least I had him for a period of time.

21. If you could do anything or wish anything, what would it be?

I wish I have the three Twilight stuff that I want are in my hands NOW! Haha. So lame.

Piece of Homework - Newspaper article

THE STAR NEWSPAPER

Human Sacrifice Again-There was another human sacrifice this morning due to the rain-less week

The rain-less week has been affecting our main crop, maize. Our ruler had to do something to solve this problem, so a decision was made. Another human sacrifice to please our gods.

At dawn as usual, a prisoner was taken from underground. He was transported up the stairs to the top of the pyramid in a wood-made cage. The village people started to dance, in a big circle around the pyramid. The was a very huge bowl at the very end of the stairs, waiting to be lit.

At last, the prisoner reached the top. He was laid on the flat stone that was in a length of man. The priest put yellow paint all over the prisoner's body. The village people started to sing at the top of their voices. A fire was lit inside the huge bowl. The grand fire was so big, big enough to kill a person, but not immediately.

Then, the priest cut the prisoner's forearm, into his blood veins. The priest put a yellow small bowl under the prisoner's forearm, and the blood dripped drop by drop into the bowl. Uncannily, this time the prisoner was unusually calm, unlike the prisoner last sacrifice, who screamed like a pig that was getting killed.

When the sun was high up in the sky, the yellow bowl was finally full with blood. The priest ran down the stairs of the pyramid, and poured the bowl of blood into the burning fire. The village people sang louder and louder. Finally, the time has come. Our ruler, who has been sitting on his throne all the time, stood up and walked towards the prisoner.

Suddenly, our ruler pushed the prisoner down the stairs. From the ground, I could see the stairs were becoming a little yellow and red at the places where the prisoner's body rolled through. "PLUNK!" The village people cheered. Besides the cheering, a faint, miserable screaming could be heard. It seemed that the prisoner has gone into the flames.

p/s: This article really looks like a newspaper article when I printed it, but I couldn't make it look like that here. This is one of my favorites, I love the last paragraph!

Piece of homework

I was already in the sky for five hours. Hope was slipping. Three days. I have not been in contact with my mother and my best friend, ZM for three days. They were supposed to be at the United States by now. But they weren’t. ZM’s family and my family were so worried that we just couldn’t wait for my mother and ZM to come back to us. We had to do something. So, I borrowed ZM’s helicopter and set off to look for them. Luckily ZM had taught me how to fly a helicopter.

Suddenly, I saw an island. As I flew nearer, I saw on the beach, ten black specks and a huge SOS sign. The hope that slipped away came back again. Immediately, I flew down to land on the island. My heart was pounding tremendously against my chest. Will my mother and ZM be among the ten black specs that I saw? What if they weren’t? What should I do then? Finally, I set my trembling left foot out of the helicopter, on the sandy beach. I raised my head and saw ten different pairs of eyes looking at me, blue, brown and black.

I started from the left pair of eyes. I felt my eyes became as round as meat balls when I realized the fictional vampire was standing three meters away from me. Robert Pattinson! I had to tear my eyes from him to look at the person beside him. Then, my eyes were as round as tennis balls. Einstein! I looked at the third person. Finally, a normal person. My eyes shrank to their normal size. From his clothing, I knew that he was a priest. My eyes moved rightwards. Meat balls on my face again. Mr. Scorgie! Beside Mr. Scorgie, stood a boy that was about twelve years old. Another surprise! Barack Obama, the president of United States. To the right of him was a couple that was dressed in branded clothing.

“Wei Syn!” I turned my head to the right and I saw the two people that I wanted to see most at that time. I ran to them and threw myself in their arms. After a moment, I realized that ZM’s shirt was wet on where I had just put my head. I brushed my cheek using the back of my hand. It was wet, too. They were tears of happiness and relief.

The sun had set. I had brought some dry food with me. I shared the food with all of the people. We seat in a circle and talked. I asked them about how they were stranded on the island and what happened to the other passengers on the plane. The story was difficult to listen to. Their pilot had a heart attack and the plane crashed into this island. The plane caught on fire. People were screaming and pushing each other, trying to find their way out from the plane, to survive. In the end, only ten of them survived. During the three days, they ate fruits that were found on the island and waited in vain for a ship or a plane to come by to rescue them. After the talk, I learned that the priest was Mr. Brown, the boy, who was indeed twelve years old, was called Seth, and Mr. and Mrs. Smith were the wealthy couple. That night, I slept on the island with the ten survivors.

Honestly, it was unpleasant night’s sleep. About three in the morning, I was shaken awake. I forced myself to open my heavy eyes, in case something bad had happened. To my surprise, I saw Mr. and Mrs. Smith. I pushed myself up, and asked them if something had happened. Although there was no light that I couldn’t see very clearly, I thought that I saw Mrs. Smith blushed. I could feel heat coming from her.

“I’m so sorry that I have to wake you up at this hour of time. We have to ask you something. I hope that you would forgive us for our impoliteness. As you see, we saw that you came here with a helicopter, so my husband and I were wondering if you were planning to take others back to the United States with you when you leave. We don’t want to stay on this deserted island forever.” said Mrs. Smith.

My mind was blank. I hadn’t thought of that before. I stared at Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Smith seemed to be abashed as she looked away from me.

“Well, Mrs. Smith. I can’t bring all ten people with me. I’m sorry. The helicopter only fits six people, so I could only bring five more people with me when I leave. I will think through this tonight. Why don’t you go to sleep? We can talk about this tomorrow. Okay?” I smiled a polite smile at her. She nodded at me and left with her husband.

I could only bring five people. My mother and ZM would definitely be in the list. What about the other three? I thought of Seth. He was just a little boy. He would have a bright future. I thought of Barack Obama. The people of the United States need him. Then, I thought of the other six people, Robert Pattinson, Einstein, Mr. Brown, Mr. Scorgie, Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Who would I bring? The world needs Einstein the most. The decision was made. What about the other five people? I could seek for help when we were back at the United States. I smiled to myself as I was falling asleep. We were going home.

p/s: My homework from Public Speaking class! It's a story, of course. It's not really a good writing, but I quite enjoyed myself while writing it. Tell me what you think about it!
