Flower at my granddad's grave. :D

Ughh. Over the weekend, (well, only the Saturday) I went back to my dad's hometown in Johor for Qing Ming. It's a period of time when almost every Chinese goes back to their hometown and clean your deceased parents' graves. Or something like that. xD

So my mom and I were talkin about what to do with her ashes when she passes away, like, God-forbids-me-to-say-when years later. xD Hopefully she doesn't. :D

I came up with suggestions such as spreading her ashes over the mountains of Kinabalu but decided not to because she'll be stuck in one place, and probably haunt the hikers for so many generations to come. The Legend of the Talking Emily Wind.. xD

The next was to spread her ashes over the Pacific Ocean, which is a bad idea cause her ashes will float ashore and get stuck there as well. One thing leads to the other and she'll be stuck on a coconut tree and dropping herself onto unsuspecting tourist and having her (coconut) juices sucked out of the poor fruit. x)

We decided to drop the topic and move on to other important stuffs like what would ever happen if you clear a graveyard and build a multimillion dollar hotel on top of it. You don't wanna know. My mom's a trillion times lamer than I am. xD

A camwhore pic everytime I go back to Muar. :D I liked last year's more. HAHA. x)

After that very much elating chat, we decided to go back to my uncle's house and take a bath and rest and all and rest and all and rest and all. xD

My dad's from this kampung called Parit Jawa which means Kampung Jawa in Indo. So yeah, my dad's family was poor last time, but evidently they were quite a close and happy family. The stories that I hear oh-so often, about the good ol' kampung days. HAHA. It's just so different and carefree-ish. Kinda wish life's the same now as it was for him. :D

Huge catfish. HUGEEEEE. My mom's hands. Note: Size difference. :D

The wet market was a fun experience. It's so different from the one in KL. Much more quiet. Much more peaceful. And much CHEAPER. Like, srsly. x) The prawns were THISSSSS huge and still costs less than the ones here in KL. Not to mention hawker food prices. RM2.90 for a Large chicken rice set. Here? RM4.20 Or somewhere there. xD

Enough about Muar. Ughh. Feeling guilty for lack of postage. xD

Chemistry's just getting better and better. :D

The above diagram shows a test tube containing unknown chemicals that an unspecified specimen, otherwise known as Tek Chia Arthur had mixed and matched and thus, obtained a wonderfully coloured compound.

Having 3 layers of different colour, the bottom layer consists of Cu2+ ions and the following layer CuCl2 precipitate and the top most layer, a mixture of Fe2+ ions and Fe3+ ions that had reacted with the Cl- ions in the CuCl2 precipitate.

I have absolutely no idea what's it called. After all, it was just a spontaneous thing I felt like doing. :D

Here's an article that I found really interesting and just wanted to share cause it's VERY TRUE. Taken from page 24, the April issue of Reader's Digest.

Right Here, Right Now
HOW EMBARRASSING
A new survey reveals our Top 10 most awkward social situations

1. Wardrobe malfunctions Zips left undone; tucking skirt into underwear. [ Ughh. Underwear thing. *shy* ]

2. Lost for words Having no response in conversation; forgetting someone's name. [ Nyeh, nowadays, yeah. :O ]

3. Mistaken baby bump Congratualting someone on a pregnancy when they're not pregnant; offering a woman a seart, assuming she is pregnant when she isn't.

4. Romantic mishaps Seeing one's ex with a new partner; saying "I love you" for the first time and not having the sentiment returned.

5. Looking foolish Making an inappropriate joke. [ Like, always. T.T ]

6. Nigel no-friends Having someone turn their back on you or, even worse, no-one talking to you at a party. [ Omg, yes. x( The feeling's the worst ever. D= ]

7. Embarrassment by proxy Your partner acting stupidly in public; the drunken behavior of friends.

8. Dating disasters Awkward silences on a first date; spilling food or drink on a partner.

9. Caught out Making an excuse for not going somewhere, then being caught in the lie; being overheard by the person you're gossiping about. [ Yesh, to hell with you, base tart. ]

10. Clumsy catastrophes Slipping over when attempting to get up after tripping, dropping food on your chest while eating. [ OMG YES AGAIN. :( ]

So what do you think about this? :D

SkyTrex Adventure ; 21.3.09 ; Taman Pertanian M'sia

The seemingly normal entrance.

First challenge; Just climbing this freaking thing made me tired. My arms were so sore that I couldn't even wrap my fingers around the bars when I was about to reach the top. :O

Spot Aranna! :)

The last flying fox challenge. Note the height of it by comparing the height of the guy and the platform. :)

Our Sky Adventure club president! Donkayy!

Henry. :D

And me.

Hectic week.

Saturday well spent. - Above pictures as proof.

Tried dodgeball for the first time. - Friday, dodgeball club.

Other days boring ol' college days. Assignments and what not. But awesome Chemistry experiment on Wednesday. SO PRETTY COLOURS. Not to mention the glittering products from the reactions. :D

SkyTrex Adventure - The awesomeness of a Saturday well spent. 70m above ground level. Organised by the Sky Adventure Club of Taylor's College Sri Hartamas. Sore arms and a terribly sore leg, who cares! I'm so incredibly proud of myself, being able to complete the challenge. I'd never imagine myself doing it but I did! Being up in the tree 70m above ground level. The feeling that you might just fall down to your death - Awesome. :)

The adrenaline rush HOMG. Even though my arms are so sore right now, or how many blisters I've got on my palms, I had the time of my life, doing something that I'd seriously seriously seriously imagine myself doing at all. A total of 23 challenges. It was just. So. Freaking. Amazing! :3

I did, however, made good friends and became closer friends with people I've met earlier this year. And of course, hanging out with my bunch of girlfriends. HAHA. Friends since forever la. xD

Anyways, I iz tiredz from all ze walking and all. So toodles. :)

friday

And so Arthur went out for lunch with Yi Wenn and Shari on Friday. Arthur made an amazing discovery that Yi Wenn is incredibly lame and Shari is more perverted than I am. So what do you get when these three people have lunch and share jokes in a very crowded table?

Iono. xD

I couldn't stop laughing LOL. I had to stand up and walk away from the table trying not to choke on the food I had in my mouth. I don't know why, but it was so funny. The joke. It's a perverted joke, but pfft. XD Something about a celery stick on the other and an orange Garfield-shaped boneless chicken as the spectator. :D Not to mention some tartar sauce as the end. :O

Oh, we ate at TGIF. :D Awesome food. But freaking expensive haha. xD

HAHA YI WENN. xD Motherboard, fatherboard, sonboard. It's not even funny, but coming from Yi Wenn sounds funny. :P

Anyways, I'm not really in a good mood. Did nothing for the psat two days and it's really disturbing haha. xD

OHH. I took a cab back home on Friday cause my mom dropped me off and said, "Find your own way home," cause my dad, mom and bro all not free to fetch. O: And I returned my cousin's car on Sunday. SOOOOO. Took me like, 10 minutes to get a taxi.

Then when I got into the cab, he asked whether I was local or not. I was like, yeah, why wouldn't I be? Haha, cause right, TCSH is located in that area, where there were many foreigners, so he thought I was Korean cause of my eyes. And of course where I was at that time. Absolutely hilarious on my part. :D Don't ask me why, it just is!

OH WELL. I'm not really satisfied with my results. I mean, I'M HAPPY. :)

YET.

It's not good enough to apply for the scholarship at Taylors. I need the scholarship laaa. I mean, now I'm just entitled to apply for the RM1k one. Meaning it'll be seperated into RM500 for the next two terms. NOT ENOUGH. O:

ANYWAYS. I went to the NS department to hand in my deferment letter today. :) It all took like, 5 minutes. I went, filled in forms and left. JUST LIKE THAT. My mom was smiling ear to ear. The efficiency rate? AWESOME. :3

Then we ate at Sushi Zanmai and left. Came home. Slept. xD

OH BTW. I went back to school today, right? So I drove to school while nervously tapping my legs. It's so funny, Jie Cong at the back shouting nervously LOL. xD He was SO NERVOUS. But he did good for SPM.

When we reached the school, we nervously walked into the school compounds, saying our hellos to the guards and what not. :) Then we saw all our old friends! Well, A LOT OF THEM. HAHAHAH JULIUS CHANG. Muscle shirt and super tan skin from NS. Wth. xD

A lot of baldies though. LOL. Suddenly, everybody kept quiet. The clerks came out of the office in slow motion, in their hands, stacks of papers, as if in an action movie. We were all excited and filed into lines in front of our classes. THEN. We were shooed from the lines and to the temporary assembly ground.

Madam Matthews was torturing us. She was slowly announcing the names of people from the highest A's to.. I don't know. I didn't get what I wanted to get. But yeah. :)

The bell rang and people started coming out of their classes. :P I met younger people! Nick Sia being one of them. xD

Whatever. :P

Oh.

Even though you didn't get what you wanted, results isn't everything in life. So what if you've got a 5C. I know people who've got 1A's, 2A's and even zero A's. People from all sorts of backgrounds. They were glad to even get 5 credits. :)
So yeah, chillax Wesleyans! The Wesleyan culture of scoring A's is so stressful, but it's hokai! :)

CONGRATULATIONS ON RECEIVING YOUR RESULTS!

Nothing much to congratulate, but oh well. :)

cheerioseets, arty.

spm

OKAY. So yeahh, tomorrow is like, THE important day. I have no idea what to expect, what to do before and what to do after. Sigh.

Most probably, I'm just gonna take my results and balik rumah. Yeap, that's all haha. I'm not going out with anybody just go to school, ambil results and go home. Unless of course someone invites me to go out and we can emo shop the whole day. xD

MM. I might teman Nana and Pikky shopping. Unless a certain someone that wants to invite me to watch a movie, I don't mind. x_x

Arty ways of dealing with SPM results stress
1) Kill yourself.
- Pros: Guaranteed satisfaction. Works 100% and all other problems go away as well.
- Cons: You might be numbed of all other feelings as well. Oh wait. You lose your life too. :)

2) Shut yourself in solitude.
- Pros: You'll be able to meditate the whole night and MAYBE able to calm yourself down for the big day the day after.
- Cons: You went to school the next day and hey! Why isn't there anyone there? }.{""

3) Watch tv.
- Pros: You get to enjoy good singers on American Idol. And temporarily forget your results until the advertisement comes. :O
- Cons: Actually, this can be considered as a pro as well. :D You'll be so absorbed into the tube that your eyes start to strain and make your eyes so blur that you'll mistaken 10E's with 10A's. :)

4) MSN till you drop.
- Pros: It gives you all the attention that you want. :D AND discuss other possible ways of dealing with this hard_to_deal_with situation.
- Cons: You might end up sleeping after 1am and have absolutely no strength when you wake up tomorrow morning. :O

I shall. MSN now. XD

BAI.

spca

Doggie! Homg, he's so cute. A bit a playful, but awesomely cute. :)

This sad cat. :( He was totally avoiding human contact. T.T

SPCA trip! Organised by The Tree Huggers Club. :)

I was supposed to meet at Taylor's at 8.30am, so I decided to leave my house at 7.50am. :O There was a police road block at Jalan Kuching. Stupid cops. They put up the barricade and just sit there while looking at the poor people in the cars suffer the freaking jam. I was so pissy this morning cause Mel decided to chat until 1. x)

SO ANYWAYS, I reached Taylor's around 8.05am. SO EARLY HOMG. And freezing cold. It doesn't make sense that they have to leave the air conditioning unit on the whole night. SAVE THE TREES. xD

People started coming and boom! Off we go! :D

Miss Liew drives okay-ish. I was going quite fast behind her haha. Benz Deey was like, hugging the seat cause the backseat of my cousin's car doesn't have safety belts yet. Lawl, his reactions were so funny LOL.

Anyways, I was speeding. Yeap, plain ol' speeding. :)

We reached SPCA around 9.30am. And Nicole was like pinching her nose, cause there was this horrible pee stench. Masuk dah, then we eventually got used to it. The first thing we had to do was to seperate chicken meat from chicken neck. Freshly brewed and hot. :) Yummy. x) We even took pictures! Well, Twan did, I didn't. xD

So anyways, next thing we did was feeding the dogs and cats! That's where I took the pictures! HOMG. So pretty, right?! But it was kinda sad, cause they're all unwanted. :(

Anyways. I emo memo nao. MSNing and I'll tell. O:

OH, HAPPAY HOLIDAY MONDAE. :)

Kat! :) Moar below.

Random Arty fact! #29
Believe it or not, I like cars. LOL. XD
I mean, it was kinda expected la, me being a guy, but then again, people around me wouldn't know cause I don't talk about cars AT ALL. x)
Iono la, they just seem so.. beautiful. :D

Arthur Chia is officially an official driver on the official roads! Without adult supervision, of course. xD I already received 3 weeks of advice from my mom driving to college every morning. So yeah! I CAN DRIVE ALONE! XD

So yeahh, today, I drove behind Katherine when her mom came to pick her up to let her drive haha. So funny, really. It reminds me of how I was just three weeks ago. :)

ANYWAYS. Sunday! Which was like, yesterday. I went out with Kate! I like, drove to her house. Picked her up. :D The pic above was taken at a traffic light on the way to our tuition teacher's house. LOL. Yeah! We camwhored even whilst driving! :P

Mehh, I felt so good! xD It's like, homg, I'm driving people around! Her dad didn't even mind haha. :D We went to Selayang mall and I PARKED! XD Perfect reverse parking. I must say that I've became relatively good at reverse parking. Even this morning at college, I reversed parked into a small space between two small cars! :D And I did it in one try! x)

Katherine is seriously farny. Eccentric. Weird. It's hard to find a word to fully describe her. :P When we reached our teacher's house, she immediately commented on her dog. It was so funny. xD Then then, she saw her baby. Prichita. :D SO CHUTEEEE. So pinchable omg! XD

She's so pinchable until Katherine held her stomach and started vibrating her hands. Imagine:

[*wiggle* {hand{{babystomach}}hand} *wiggle wiggle* ]

LOL. XD

Then Katherine started making funny scat-like sounds. WHICH failed to attract the baby's attention. She was more interested in my facial expressions. And my very very movable eyebrows. xD

Omg, so cute you know, the baby. We ordered pizza and all, so when it came, she always leaned towards the pizza to grab a slice but all of us would stop her before she could even reach it. C'mon, she's less than 6 months old! xD But yeah, like her mom, she's an awesome eater. :) M'sian ftw!

That was it. We said our goodbyes, and prolly I'll drive Kate back there after we get our SPM results. :) AND our teacher will be cooking for us. I never knew she can cook. xD

Marcia. :)

I made this paper pop up thing for Marcia! Cause she asked for it, so yeah. xD Made her one. :D

I'm accepting requests! RM2 for one. :D Customisable, tell me, I'll make for you. x)
