Trials and Jaundice

It might be a little late to say it since it's practically ending at this point...
I'm sitting for my SPM trials! :D / D8
Yeah, the latter emoticon might be more appropriate for considering this situation...
I'll upload exam hall pictures later
The connection here isn't exactly super =.="
Anyway, we still have bio, chem and for me, Arts 2 (yeay!! ♥)
I have absolutely no idea what I should draw, though... -sigh-
I'll think of something by Thursday
I'm sort of dreading my results for certain subjects (physicsphyscisphysics)
Particularly PHYSICS because our teacher said something along the lines of:

"Saya harap Paper 3 awak dapat cover Paper 1 awak, ya?"

SO you can probably imagine what our expressions were like when she said that...
and again, when she said only 8/126 of us scored 40+/50 for Paper 1
Holy schmucks
Are we really that bad?

ANYWHO
Jaundice? What jaundice?
I just realized I've purposely been avoiding mentioning my medical sitches here
-probably because I rant about them somewhere else-
But I didn't have time to go rant there this week thanks to the above topic, so here I am.
Yes, apparently, I have jaundice
Not one of those sever cases with the fevers and the extreme lethargy and the complete loss of appetite accompanied with mustardy yellowness
But jaundice, all the same
The whites of my eyes are yellow and my face looks like a faded langsat or something... I don't know (-A-)
So here I am, back on the 5th floor of Surgical A, South Tower of SDMC...
My old room is just down the hall and around the corner (and down the hall some more)
Do I miss this?
Hell no.
I almost broke down crying when they told me I was getting warded TT^TT
Funny part about my return here is:

1) One of the nurses is a current ward resident, LOL
2) Some of the nurses didn't recognize me at ALLS XD
Possibly because I've lost almost 20 kilos since I left (on steroids) and I actually have hair now

Buuut I'm getting better. The yellowness has become pretty much diluted :)
Which means I can probably go back tomorrow
Which means I... can... sit for my chemistry paper on Monday...
uh... yeay?
">_>
Ah, I'm gonna go drain my OJ now ♥
Ciao~☆

Café Lunch and Raya Shopping

Yesterday, we went to fetch my brother from GMI in Bangi (Bangi, not Bangsar!!) but when my mom's friends went ahead to see if he was ready... he wasn't.
So we (me+mom+mom's friends) went to 'get coffee' at what I was expecting to be a mamak place or something. Instead, we were led by said friends here:
by fzld (Faizah Zainal Lifestyle Design)
The moment we went in, I was like : "Mama, can I go back and get my camera?"
It's a show house/café and IT'S SO CUTE 8D (wow... I sound like a girl... (>_> )
Wanna see the inside? I bet you do... even if you don't, I'm uploading them anyway :D

Ain't it pretty in there? The food looks (and was) pretty good, too^^ (Western food, ftw) Should've had the French toast...
A few 'demerits', though...
  • My table was wobbly
  • The toilet was... unimpressive
  • Ants (=.=)
Come on, a wobbly table? Seriously? And is it too much to have a regular check for ants in your show house/café? Couldn't help thinking about my friends dreaming of opening a pie/ice cream/wtv it is now place after they leave school.
The funny (laaame) thing was that my mom and her friends were ex-TKCians, I was a TKCian (heck, I was still in my school uniform (>_> ), the women sitting behind my mom's table were ex-TKCians and the family in the booth behind me was also and ex. I bet the people working there were all like, "Wth? Are they having a party?" just as much as they were wondering "When will these people stop taking photos?". I swear, the owner of the place was staring at me through the door when I was snapping photos outside (-__-") Scary...

Anyway, my mom was afraid we'd be too busy during Ramadhan (what with trials and all...) to look for our Raya clothes so we got dragged out today. And, being me, I got mine soon enough.
Not wearing the skirt on purpose. It's emerald green :D
Moar heels :0
...
Should've gotten the purple shoe for my aunt's nikah in March, the family theme is lilac (-3-) Maybe we can go back? Teehee :D The shoe was RM100 but it was on sale for half-price, YEAYZ!! Mom wanted to get new shoes too since practically everything looked nice and was on sale but... well, they were all heels heels and my mom can't really wear those anymoar XD
We decided to get emerald for Raya because the family theme for the wedding reception at the hotel will be in that colour. Nothing wrong with reusing, right? When else am I going to wear something fancy like that, a date? (=.=)" The top's waist is kind of big though... I wonder if we can do anything about it... It was ready-made, duh. I'm clueless when it comes to picking out cloth. I take forever to pick out any piece of decent clothing on my own, anyway (-A-) (Mom pulled this one off the rack for me.) My bro also got his pretty fast (also because mom pulled one off the rack for him). And since it would seem guys reuse their shoes until their soles come off, he didn't seem interested in any.
We were hopping to nab some serunding from one of the stalls but apparently it's too early for those (,>_>)

That's about all I have to say for now. Oh, if you still have time, try reading this (excuse any typos in there...) while listening to this and review if you will (>w<) I just got a comment on it suggesting the song and now I can't get it out of my head, lolz...
So she dances~

The End: Arts Project and Harry Potter

Because it'll take less time, I'll talk about HP first.
OH LAWD I CRIED MY EYEBAWLS OUT Q_Q
Snaaaapeee... I mourn for thy unrequited lurve T^T
I never did like James. LOLz to Harry for coming out short. (apa kaitan doh?)
Though I could've sworn you died in Lupin's hideout under the Whomping Willow, ね?
Dumbledore, you are so cruel!! ,>x<
And Mrs. Weasley cursed in teh moveyy~ XD *B!TCH!!* I thought they'd change her line for the big screen because of all the kids most likely to be watching (but then... anyone following HP from when it first came out is definitely at least my age now...) but I guess not!
As if they don't curse enough already...
PUNPUNPUNPUNPUNPUN
I am SO pissed that they didn't show how Fred died because COME ON, THAT WAS A MAJOR SCENE!!
I practically got a heart attack when I read it in the novel >_>
I was like 'omg, omg, he's gonna die!!' and then I was like '... wait, did he died? Already?? WHEREN!!??'
Damn director =.=
But I'll have to admit, this was probably the best HP movie installation since... the... fourth one? Yeah. Best one since then.

So anyways, that was basically my thoughts on Harry Bladder.
Moving on to the arts project...
DUN DUN DUUUNNNN!!!

To be honest, I don't think we would have rushed like hell to finish it as we did if we'd actually started waaay back in February...
But then, the teacher wasn't really sure of what we were supposed to do because for some reason, she wasn't being called to any art teacher meetings...
That reason being we weren't registered to take the SPM arts exams in the first place.
I mean, wtf!!??
We were supposed to be registered at the end of Form 3!!
Apparently, our ex-Academics PK forgot to register the arts and geography kids
So we would've been doing it aaaalll for fun
Hallelujah =_=
Anyway, we are registered now so the evaluator's coming around the 25th~27th of this month
And here's my work :D
Well, some of it...



















I didn't take pix of the process for the some reason...
Guess I forgot?
Sorry for the LQ-ness, I didn't exactly have a scanner with me at school and I couldn't settle on a decent camera function -3-
As for the actual product:
Pre-'touch up'
I reeeaaally liked how the flowers turned out in this one :D
Since the brush was still new, it was still pointed and comfortably firm
and it gave a really nice effect with the petals :)

But then...
Post-'touch up'


I think I died.
My teacher thought to make it better and now that I think about it, I should have stopped her.
If I like it the way it was, why let other people mess with it?
I didn't see the whole 'work' until I revisited the workshop after school
(I already finished my folio then, so I'd left earlier)
I don't remember crying that hard EVER.
Not even when I missed the 2nd SuJu concert held this year.
I had to be going at it for about an hour or so -_-
Someone might as well have died considering the way I was bawling >_>
Then my friends started arriving and one of them offered to help me scrub them clean (and I mean CLEAN) with thinner, so that's what we did.
I magically managed to finish redoing the whole thing by that night:



As you can see, the flowers are completely different because the brush was already flared out.
I kind of screwed up the orange splashed the second time so I am sooo not satisfied with myself
But I did what I could and this was the best I could do.
Unless I wanted to start over on the cup >_> Again.
One of my friends said that my teacher knew I was pissed off with her
It was pretty obvious, considering the fact that I wasn't even looking at her anymore
If I glanced, I glared
But I don't care.
Screw me, screw you.
And thus, the final setting:
It's lame, but I couldn't find any flowers to put in a vase or anything so I just put pebbles in a goblet and a nest in a pudding cup
I'll update if/when I know how it turns out.

Okay! I think that's a lot for today so...
Ciao~☆

Deadlines and Movies

Warning: Unless you're as bored as I am at the moment, don't bother reading this. It's a rant. Period.

Yes, because even when I'm busy as hell, I still have a movie running (be it on the tv, a dvd or on my laptop--either way). I don't really watch it. It's just for the sake of ambiance so I don't realize how freaking late it is and I get myself to keep working to unearthly hours (joy). Kinda like how I listen to Hans Zimmerman and Alan Silvestri while I'm cramming for exams.
Which makes me wonder why I bother to select what language I want my subtitles to be in...
-_-

Anyway, I just found out about two hours ago (or so) that the deadline for my arts folio (I'm not sure if it's the official deadline or just the one my school set, but what the heck) isn't the end of July, but the bloody 15th. Which means I have until next Friday to get this thing glued and binded along with a sprayed, shiny teacup+plate ready to submit.
Holy crap.
And I thought I was rushing to catch the Eurostar back in 2004. >_>

I'm supposed to be pasting crap now but considering the fact that I just cut my way through a FEW printed pictures for my freaking 'inspiration' page, I thought I could use a few minutes break just ranting off somewhere--so why not here? I'm just typing a bunch of random stuff to flex my fingers. WEEE~!!!
I probably got the idea to rant here from watching Social Network--which is what I was doing before I found out about the deadline thing. Joy.
Only difference is, I'm not drunk. I'm underage. (and a Muslim. Okay, so three differences--buzz off =.=)

Seriously hoping I'll be able to get back in school by this weekend because I've been slacking off enough these past few days (credit to my own laziness and this stupid... neuro-thing).

Oh crap.
I just remembered that I have tuition tomorrow morning.
I guess I'm going to have to cut this rant short.
ABANDON SHIP!!

Oh, before I forget:
Ciao~☆

Numbness and Pain

I lay down on my bed, staring at the phone,
wondering
I lay down on my side, staring at the phone,
growing numb
I lay down on my own, staring at the phone,
falling asleep

I'm not telling you where that came from because honestly, I'm not too sure myself -_-"
Just wanted to write it down somewhere before it slipped completely from my mind
like so many other things have...

Let's see where life has brought me so far
The sad stuff:
After an 11-year Sports Day winning streak, my house yielded first place to Green House.
We placed 3rd.
Boo.
2nd-Red, 4th-Blue
We didn't win the Inter-SBP Wind Orchestra. Heck, we didn't even place top 3.
Boo.
After God-knows-how-many rounds of vinorelbine (a chemo drug), I experienced probably the worst of the worst among the possible side effects: peripheral neuropathy. I'm not even going to bother telling you what that means so you can go ahead and Google it yourself -_- Here's a rough image though: I haven't been able to go up the stairs since last Saturday night.
No wonder I'm not in school, eh?
I didn't even argue about going to the hospital in the wheelchair. Heck, I was practically begging for it.
Boo.
Other sad things are too private to post here so piss off -A-
LOL

Now for the happy stuff:
Nil

I seriously can't think of anything to be ecstatic about at the moment.
I haven't actually done anything I can be proud of (not complaining, just stating) so... meh.
Life's got its ups and downs, right?
I'll get better and I'll get there soon...
Soon... :)
Ciao~✩
