Wesleyan Idol. Attempt 1.

Sorry for the lack of posting and stuff.

Lala.. I was supposed to sing in Wesleyan Idol today, but, there weren't enough time for me to sing. So, mine is postponed to next Monday. I'm very busy these few days, so I can't like blog everyday anymore. Here's something I did for my bro's Prefect thingy:



It doesn't look like fire, does it?

Wee.. Long pants..

There's a reason why I'm wearing long pants. It's cause that lower secondary librarians are required to wear them now because Kenneth, the head librarian suggested it and I killed him for it. :P We were ordered by Mrs Peter( there's no S after R lol) to buy long pants on 10th of March, which was the Friday and wear them on 20th of March till we finish school. It's hot. Very. I kinda hate it though. It's a must change during sports practice we're having these days.

I'm really going low on story supply. :D

I did a really ugly and kinda like too-much-leaves background for myself xD

I hate projects.

Lalala.. Still half awake xD. Stayed up doing my Sejarah project. Madam Kumari asked us to do 10 pages for Bab 7, I did 13! XD. It's practically nothing to brag about, but I'm just too sleepy to think what to write about. Anyways, something for all:



However, if you wanna add fonts in the middle, drop a comment. The font will be the same like the copyright.

Nanny McPhee


Wee.. My first review! xD.
Gah.. So, I went to One Utama and bought the tickets for Nanny McPhee Wednesday morning. And waited for my cousin to come 2 hours later -.-'. And I'm very very very very the sad cause both GSC and TGV sold tickets for I Not Stupid Too at night. Screw that. Above is the poster of the movie Nanny McPhee. An educational movie about Nanny McPhee (Emma Thompson - the-use-to-be-so-pretty-actress acted as an old hag which eventually became beautiful at the end O.o - Below, the starting) teaching 7 children dicipline.

Unfortunately, I don't have the picture of teh beautiful picture of Emma Thompson at the end :D. Oh well, guess you have to watch yourself then.
Where was I? Oh yea, it started off showing a chair, the chair that belonged to the wife of seven children. She died when Aggy, the youngest child, was given birth to. After she died, the became naughty because their father doesn't pay as much attention to them like their mum. And that baby is so freaking clever lol. She can imitate every single word her older siblings said. Amazing.


The father of 7, decided not to feed them at night 'cause they shoo-ed away the strictest, meanest of all nannies, by pretending they ate the baby. But actually they put the baby into the tray and ate the chicken instead :P. The oldest child, Simon, is played by Thomas Sangster. When my cousin watched the movie, she went like "Omg, so cute!". Actually, he's borned in 1990. But he still looks young.

Yup, he's eating the baby. Simon.

So, Nanny McPhee also stated "If I am needed but not wanted, I will stay. But if I am wanted but not needed, I will go." She had 2 warts, wrinkles, a tooth coming out of her mouth, and gray hari. It all equals to 5. Everytime a lesson have been taught, one of these 5 will go. At the end she became beautiful. It's really hilarious and educational, meaning, learning dicipline in a funny manner.

Hmm.. This is my first review, so, drop a comment. And I will change. And below is a signature I made for a friend. No, it's not Soe Foong. It's Soe Fong.

Limes!

I've made a background with Yahoo! Widgets. And it's lime green. I was so depressed yesterday I felt like I needed something to cheer me up. Then I discovered Yahoo! Widgets :P

Yahoo! Widgets are fully functional "items" on your desktop. Like if you have a Clock, it works, showing real time. I also customized the widget, Zoomy Bar, cause I didn't like the original buttons -,-. Gah.. I'm so lazy to type. Screenshot!:


Updated - 7.43pm

I made a new background just now.. Felt that my new one doesn't give the feeling that it was mine. Below:

Kepong Baru

I went to SMK Kepong Baru this morning for my Grade 6 Theory Exams. You know, the ex-school of the person I hate the most. Yes, I'm talking about Deng Zhen. The one that says I'm handsome and tried kissing me last year. I had nausea for a week after that.

I reached at 7.20. I was alone with my brother. Scary. I was there, I saw an overturned rubbish bin. Rubbish. Came out. And a cat. Lol. Dirty drains and funnily, well mantained Taman Sains. I was literally impressed with the Taman Sains. Beautiful.

The Boys' toilet was big. Bigger than WMS'. xD. 8 stalls for shitting, a line of those old-school-military-urinals, and what I thought it was, a bathing area. I'm not sure though. It's like there's a tap, a bucket and rubber tube. And there were plenty of them. I can't simply imagine students dressing down and bathing in front of everybody. Correct me if I'm wrong, Deng Zhen nekkid in the toilet with other boys. Screww.. *shivers*. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures. Next year, I shall be taking the stupid theory exam again.

Here's something I did last month and it's still my background:

New year, new blog, new graphics

Aite.. I'm quite happy now, lol. Since I spent like more than 3 hours on the template. It's almost mine. I kinda like, "stole" half of it from the original one - Tic Tac Blue. This ish how the ori look like - http://www.blogger.com/templates/tictac_blue/sample.html

Tomorrow is the day. The day of MY death. I fracking hate theory exams, especially Grade 6. It's like so freaking hard and takes more than 2 hours to finish 5, FIVE! questions. Hurray for holidays to go with that.

Other than that, I think I failed my Art xD. Simplest of all photoshop skillz:
Took me like.. 3 mins to finish this. Busy shit.
