MERDEKAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Merdekaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :))))))))))))

I finished sitting for my grade 5 theory exam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wootsssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!! :))))))

Ok. Here's the story of how it went today. :)

So, I arrived at the school, found my class, and sat down at my table. I had table number 18. : )

Then have to wait lor. Wait, wait, wait. Then the fella incharge of our classroom, gave us instructions and blablabla...... then 9am sharp, START!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :))))

Btw, I was starting to get nervous even the night before when I realized that this morning was my exam!!!! :) Of course I was also nervous before my exam started today... :PPPPP Normal right???? :) But after mummy prayed for me I felt better. I also prayed to God to be with me during my exam. ;)

Anyway, to get back to it, the first thing I did when we were allowed to look at our papers was, to check what was the instrument choice given for the part where I had to compose an 8 bar melody. wheeee I got violin or oboe!!!!!!!! :) I was hoping I will get either violin or cello. Because I play a string instrument so it's easier to compose a melody for the instrument. Of course I chose violin!!! :P

Page after page I did, took few minute breaks in between............ :))))

Then came to this part where they gave me the german word, MASSIG. :) I had to give the meaning of the word in english.

But for the life of me, I didn't know what it meant. So I thought I had no choice to leave it BLANKO.

I continued to the next page, and then suddenly, I don't know why but I thought that maybe the word means MODERATO(in a moderate speed). So I thought, maybe I will just "tembak" and write that down. :)

Because no harm what, even if I don't put that, I will still lose the 2 marks. But if I put that, maybe I will have a chance of getting it right. :)

Then, I was concentrating so much on my composed melody, that I FORGOT TO WRITE THE TEMBAKED MEANING IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ayuhhhh.....

But nvm laaaa....

The worst thing that could ever happen was, I went home to check the meaning of the german term, and guess what???????????!!!!!!!!!! IT REALLY MEANT IN A MODERATE SPEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so angry and annoyed with myself, I kept stamping my foot and saying aiya aiya!!!!!!!!!!

Ayuh, if I had tembak and put that in, I would have gotten my 2 MARKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(((((( *sobs*

But nvm, it's ok, I still did my best for the Lord, and I'm happy. :)))

As Lily told me, just be confident in myself. :)

All's well, I survived the exam, and I'm super duper happy that I CAN SAY MY FAREWELL TO THEORY NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)))))))))))

Cello lesson after my exam was good too, teacher was mighty pleased with my playing today. :))))

I'm a happy girl,

Exam in 3 days time..........

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH My Grade 5 Theory Exam is on Monday, just 3 days from now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sooooooo fasttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!! :((((((


I'm currently sick, rather, jie fell sick somtime early this week, and she passed her germs to me.... :((((((

I really hope and pray that I won't feel too sick during my exam.... Please Pray For Me!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)))))

So, the horror day is awaiting me.............. it has come so quickly!!!!!!!!! I can barely believe it's just this MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :((((((((((((

If you are wondering why I said horror day, it's because, I hate theory.... rather if I wanna use a stronger word, I despise it.... :(((((

Practically everybody hates it..... it's so annoying. I mean, ok, you still need to know the basics if you're playing an instrument. Right. But the thing is, they make you learn and memorize other things that you won't even use after the exam!!!!!!!!!

Especially all the Itailian, German, and French terms!!!!!!!!!!!! arrrgggghhhh!!!!!!!!!! Basically theres 9 PAGES of those terms.... but I'm only gonna pick those commonly used ones to remember... :)))

Anyway, please just pray for my flu.......thanks so much........and please pray that the exam will go well. :)

A Jonah Day...

This morning till afternoon was perfect, but late afternoon?????? It was the worst time ever of my life, and as Anne of Green Gables said, it was such a jonah day.......

I'm sorry if I had to do it, I couldn't stand it any longer so I had no choice....... I don't understand anything or everything!!!!!!!!!! If you can just let me know why, I'll try my best to take it as it is, but as there hasn't been any explanation for so many years, I couldn't take it any longer....

I'm sorry.........

All I can say is, I don't understand why or how come but I have to try and do my part and just be quiet about it and take it...

Trying my really best

It was awesome seeeing them again... :)

We had a "dilly-dally" time of planning how we should meet, where, and when, finally we decided to go to Klang, where they stay and meet them in one of the shopping centers... :) But only Tabi could make it because Abby had to go for an interview, and Debs was in school... :((((((

But it turned out well in the end, because we took Tabi home and we visited at their home for a couple of hours... :) And Abby and Debs were back....also met their mum, Aunty Theresa!!!!!!! :)

They are nice family!!!!!!!! Have yet to meet their father though.....he's really very busy...always traveling.. :)

Anyway, it was nice meeting them!!!!!!!!!

BSF 2011 ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BSF 2011 started on Monday!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) I was having jitters in the car the whole way there, I usually do after a long break... :)

There was heavy traffic for what reason I don't know....maybe everybody wanted to go out for a romantic Valentine's Day Dinner... :)))))

So, we arrived when they had finished calling the names of the kids to their respective classes, and this year, SENIOR CLASS IS DIVIDED INTO TWO CLASSES!!!!!!!!!! Last year Level 4 was divided, but this year it's senior, too many seniors this year... :)

And PHEW!!!!!!!!! I was sooooooooooooooooooo happy that I'm still with my old "girl-friends!!!!" All of us were freaking out throughout the whole 3 months break that we will be seperated!!!!!!!!! But we are still together!!!!!!!!!! Wheeeeeeeeee, what a relief for all of us!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Jie is in the other Senior class, :))))) And guess what, WE, SENIOR 1'S, GOT THE AIR-CONDITIONED ROOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOTTTTSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!! The other seniors have to be out in the hot air... :(((((( Kesian them though...... ;(((( :)))))

Anyway, it was really awesome on Monday!!!!!!!! Great seeing all my friends again!!!!!!!! :) And, HOMELETICS WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!! We did something different and Joo Yee and Samee made me laugh like nuts... :)))))

My two class leaders are ok this year... :)

Charissa

P.s. A funny thing: On the 7th of Feb, I got an sms from Aunty Kay saying Happy Birthday....I was suprised at first, then realized she got the date mixed up!!!! :) Then on the 8th, Aunty Christine wished me, she also got the date mixed up, then on the 9th Ah Ma almost wished me............... :))))))) So funny la!!!!!!! But all the same, I'm grateful for their bday wishes too!!!!!!! :)

HOME SWEET HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :))))))

Arrived back in KL today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JAM FREE!!!!!!!!!! ;P My aunties and uncles were caught in a massive jam on Sunday and it took them more than 4 HOURS just to get from Penang to Ipoh!!!!!!!! Shocking!!!!!!!!! The average time is about 2 hours plus.... :) Without jam... :)

It only took us about 5 hours(less than the usual time) to get from Penang to KL today!!!!!! Jam-less!!!!! :P That's why, never leave at the last minute, either leave later or earlier.... never at the last moment..... ;)

Anyway, finally I can blog and post some pictures of my CNY HOLS 2011.....sorry that I couldn't blog earlier because I was using my grandma's comp in Penang and her comp has a bit of virus and since my blog isn't privatized I'm scared "germs" will get into my blog....and I didn't have time to really blog anyway.... :)

So, my Holiday Report will be posted soon, when I have the time~!!!!!!!!

PACKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm doing LAST MINUTE PACKING THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm the type of person, who DOES NOT like to pack at the last minute, except like toiletries and stuff you have to pack at the last minute... :)

But this year, oh boy, instead of packing yesterday, I'm actually packing NOW.... :(((( And we are heading for Ipoh in a few hours time... :PPPP

Why I'm packing today instead of yesterday????? Simply because I was EXHAUSTED and too sick to pack yesterday.... :((((((

Sigh, the packing doesn't seem to wanna end.... I keep packing and packing, and then I find that I forgot to pack this and pack that........ARRRGHHHH!!!!

Ok, I think I have to go off and finish my packing now..........................................will probably blog again when we reached Penang in a few days time....

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Adieu home,

House cleaning, AAAACHOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacccccccchhhhhhhhhhhooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been sneezing since morning!!!!!!!!!! aaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope I'm not falling sick, not now!!!!!!!!!! We are gona travel tmrw, and it's CNY, and I DO NOT WANNA FALL SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just hope it's because we were taking out things from wardrobes and it was a bit dusty... :(

Anyway so I did a crash cleaning today.. :))))

Swept the floor, mopped the floor, scrubbed the toilet, and then clean the balcony!!!!!!!!!!!!

Phew!!!!!!!! I was deadddd after that.... :((((((((((((((((((

Aaaahhhhh my nose, it was giving me problems the whole time I was cleaning!!!!!!!!!!!! Everytime I sneeze then the mucus flows down, then I have to blow my nose, but after blowing my nose it makes me sneeze again, so it's like a merry go round, one after the other round and round and round and on and on and on....now my throat feels a bit funny, and I hope it's just some psychology problem... :)

So, off to Ipoh tomorrow and Penang on Friday..... no internet for a few days until we arrive in Penang, how sad is that... :)

Baby Susieeeee

On Sunday, I got hold of Baby Susie after church... :) I carried her the whole time after that, even during kopitiam... :))))) Then later Jie Jie Jan wanted to carry her, so I passed Susie to her.........then she started sliding down because Jie Jie Jan wasn't holding her properly... :)))) Susie was deadddd tired because she missed out on her nap that morning... :(((((((

Anyway, Grace came again on Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So funny la she...... she said that because she only had  about 6 hours of sleep, she cannot entertain me today.... :))))))))))

But arrrrrr she very funny wan......in the end right, she forgot all about being tired and she was making me laugh and laugh again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She's sooooooooo funny!!!!!!!! ahahahahaha

So back to Susie, while Grace was telling something funny to us, (sis, me and Jie Jan) suddenly we burst out into laughter and Susie suddenly started wailing!!!!!!! Oooopppsiee!!!!! I think she was drowsy and probably going to sleep when we must have scared her, so I took over from Jie Jie Jan, thinking of taking her to her mum and after I took a few steps and came face-to-face with Aunty Mandy(her mum) Susie STOPPED CRYING!!!!!!!! hahahahahahahaha.... :)))))

So I decided to continue carrying her since she wasn't fussing anymore........ sat down, then Grace started talking again to me and sis........but this time we didn't suddenly burst out into laughter.... :) Next thing I knew was, Grace told me that Susie fell asleep!!!!!!!!!!!! wheeeee!!!!!!

She was soooo cuteeeee leaning against me.... :))))) But sadly she woke up like 15 mins later... :( Poor girl.... she was exhausted.....

First time I carried a baby for sooo long and my arms were weak and aching after that, but I don't care, I love carrying babies and playing with them that I won't notice the pain that much... :)))))))
