Of Christmas and New Year.

This year's Christmas was spent with friends and family. That should be the way right? Not by clubbing your Christmas away. What's the true meaning of Christmas then? (:
It was also my first time celebrating Christmas with Catholics. I would say that it was an eye-opening experience cos firstly, I'm not a Christian and I have never felt the christmasy atmosphere at home. All in all, thank you, Suiee and your warm family for sharing your Christmas with me and also for showing me what Christmas means to you!

At Vanessa's House.

To the whole eccentric gang of 4BR, this is the hotel in Penang I told you guys about.

With their very own private beach.

The plan is still on, people! Dad already agreed to let us have a vacation there.

I CAN'T WAIT TILL POST-SPM!!!

Can't wait to sink you teeth in that? :D

Sorry, Ian Wright, but I reckon laksa looks and taste just fine the way it is! :D

What Happened in .... Taman Golf.

Reasons why you shouldn't live beside a river during rainy seasons or heavy downpours :

Indoor pond look-a-like.

I even spotted a teeny weeny tadpole.

Pardon my feet. Had to put it somewhere since the floor was wet.

The water looks clean here but actually..

....its this colour. Probably a mixture of cow dung and sewage water.
Oh and dried leaves, little fishes and tadpoles.

An unhappy Diva cleaning up her house.
Which took her about 1 day to clean up her whole entire house with the help of

Dad, Mum, Aunt and maidy.

Lucky sis for being temporarily disabled. All she had to do was to supervise. -.-

Even after this misfortune, I still like can't think of a better place to stay despite not having any friends living near by. Peaceful area, I tell ya!

An Early Christmas Present.

Before I write this post, I would like to justify my long absence from Foon & Spork. I guess there's always an excuse why isn't my blog updated. (: This time, I would say so many things happened ( including life-threatening experience ) consecutively that leaving Foon & Spork to collect dust and ignoring my social life for now seems to be the right thing to do. So, please do accept my utmost sincere apology,my fellow loyal readers ( if there are any ) !


Firstly, I would like to write a bit about the Sam Tet's 48th Annual Gathering. Most of you all know that the fees charged was RM 25.00 ( the most costly gathering I've ever attended so far) by now. Considering it has been almost a week since the gathering was held. RM25.00 is considered as a big sum of cash in a poor student's world, like me! And yet, I insisted to go for this event cos I know this gathering would probably be the last one that I'll ever attend due to SPM next year. I insisted to go even though the attendance from most schools were abysmal. I insisted to go even though the fees was an absurd amount even if God-knows how much from that amount was for charity. Not to mention, their lack of time management skills. I admit that I thought this gathering was a waste of money and time and the lamest gathering ever by midday. Absolutely convinced, in fact cos of the oh-so-poor attendance from most schools except for Poi Lam, of course. By night, by the time I set my foot into Yuk Choy's Hall, I would say 39th Kinta Troop gained back my respect. The decorations, the backdrop, the jaw-dropping gadget at the entrance of the hall blew me away. The decorations especially! That 'wow' factor did not stop there. When they gave away cheques to representatives of a few old folks' home and children's home, I definitely felt I did the right thing to attend this gathering. It feels good to know that you probably contributed to the little and elderly ones in making their lives a better one or maybe even made this year's Christmas celebration a remarkable one to them. I guess that truly is the true meaning of Christmas. A season of giving!

Now, for the life threatening experience, it didn't occur to me. It was my sister. This incident not only taught a few life lessons to her, but also to me. She was recently robbed by an armed man in the worst place to raise a child ( maybe just to me cos I'm sort of a small town kid ), KL. The aftermath? A deep slash on her left arm. Deep enough to cut her nerve. I can imagine the blood splattering out. Shudders* It's funny how money can make humans act so inhumanely, right? The moment of realisation for me was I was so close to losing my sister, okay maybe losing my sister's left arm that I would have cried my eyeballs out of the eye sockets even though I know it wouldn't help. I even thought how stupid I was to even joke about how the world would be a better place without her existence. Through this unfortunate incident, I learned how important siblings, family, and friends are in one's life. As for my sister, she really do have a lot of friends who do sincerely care for her, who paid a visit to our crib, who willingly drove her around (p/s: I've got no driver now! Man! ) and that made her realise "there are a lot of love and care out there despite the cruel existence of those willing to hurt others for mere materials" and had shown her "how important family and friends are to any individual" By the way, I find it necessary to say that she is recuperating fast and she owes me big time! I know you'll read this soon enough, OKU. Haha!!

My Disatisfaction.

• I don't really see the need to online these days. Thus, the long absence here. I guess I've been so caught up with Midnight Sun that nothing I do is more interesting than reading it. And now I'm starting to wonder where are all my friends? It's been like so long since the last time I even talked to them. But then again, maybe I'm so busy preparing for Sam Tet's gathering and reading Midnight Sun that I didn't have the time to catch up with them. So to the gang who is reading this right now, WE NEED TO CATCH UP WITH EACH OTHER SOON!! :D

• I really reckon that Midnight Sun is a better version of Twilight. Maybe its because I'd like to know what's in Edward's mind instead of Bella's thoughts. I also personally liked the way Stephenie Meyer changed the perspective of a vampire to most people. Its just the way she describes a situation, a feeling,an emotion, a character that had me wanting for more. And Twilight the movie is really not as bad as what everybody's saying these days. I mean, c'mon! It is a low-budget movie after all. Give the director and actors/actresses some credits! They weren't that bad. I can't even think of a better Edward that could have been casted. And the scene effects could be better, no doubt but lets be reminded that it is a low-budget movie. Yes, the movie is not as detailed as the book but it's still not bad, at least? Maybe all these critics that are being thrown at the movie is because there are a lot of people who are into this Twilight Saga and that by not liking it, they'd be different. Or their expectation was just a little bit to high. This is just my opinion. Everyone has their own opinion. So please do not be offended.

• Sometimes when you're a sincere friend to someone, that someone might not be as sincere to you as you are to him/her. And it bugs me. It bugs me that I actually do bother to keep in touch but you're not bothered. It bugs me cos its as though I'm being used. I guess this is how life works and all I can do is to accept it. So, thanks for everything, friend and good luck with your life.

The Unexpected Meet

The following is the most interesting thing that happened yesterday night :

As usual, I went with my dad to buy newspaper and bread at a newspaper stand. Specifically Sin Chew Jit Poh. Okay, that's not the point. Anyway, I was walking towards the stand and I saw this woman yang bertudung from afar. She looks so familiar, I thought so. I shrugged it off and grabbed the newspaper. This time I could see the other side of that familiar looking woman. I spotted a mole on her right cheek.
BAM! No one can ever miss that mole, I tell yah.
It's Puan Sharifah alright! my witty English teacher. So, being an obedient student, I went over to greet her.

Me : Heeyyy, teacher!

Tea : * Looks over to her right, wide-eyed, mouth hanging wide open with her right hand held up to her chin * Oh dear, Eva! You almost gave me the shock of my life! Where did you come from? How did you.. Why are you here???

Me : Uh, I'm here to buy newspaper and bread. And I came with my dad. * Points towards my dad's car * Haha.

Tea : Ohhhh, I see. So how was SPM?

Me : * Gives her the sweat face * Um, teacher. I'm still in Form 4, remember?

Tea : * Wide-eyed with her signature hand gestures* Ohhhhhh! Yeah. I went to school today and those girls were screaming so loudly. You people better not make so much noise next year.

Me : Yeah, right ( under my breath ) Soo teacher, what are you doing here anyway?

Tea : I just came back from my dinner and I need to buy some bread for breakfast tomorrow. So happy holidays and see you next year, Evon. Bye! * walks back to her car *

Me : Happy holidays to you too teacher. And it's Eva. For the millionth time. ( Mutters under my breath )


When you never expect something to happen, for example, bumping into your English teacher in a newspaper stand, it has a bigger chance to happen, does it??

Moscovitz Discovery.

Made an amazing discovery today! I was watching The Princess Diaries for umpteen times and as usual, drooling over Michael Moscovitz ( points above ). So I Wikipedia-ed him and guess what?? He's actually the front man/lead singer of the band Rooney! The band who brought you the smashing hit 'When Did Your Heart Go Missing' which was featured in Gossip Girls. He is also Nicolas Cage's cousin. He was 17 when he was casted as Michael. Now, he's 25 and has facial hair. Not as attractive as back when he was 17 though. Okay, it ain't exactly an amazing discovery but still ...

The Script and Jason Mraz are really talented songwriters.

Awesome!

Although they make mine sound bad.

Outing on Sat.

The Unlucky One.

What do you do when you come back home one day from tuition to find that your computer ain't working?

What do you do when you tried to see what went wrong only to find the phone line was black, thanks to the lightning that chose to strike your line of all the other people in the neighbourhood?

What do you do when you just lost your most important tool to keep in touch with the world outside your house?

You sleep. You eat. You watch the idiot box. You play a few tunes on the guitar and piano. You read a couple of good books while tucking yourself in a comfy blanket. You walk to Ipoh Swimming Club cos you feel fat after all the pigging out. Yes, that was what I did for a week until this baby was fixed! I swear I could almost hear "Hallelujah" at the back of my head. (:

P/S: I just noticed that there are some angmohs who walk past my house occasionally. (There weren't anything better to do since the comp died) With their dogs. That means they do stay in my neighbourhood. That also means I need to do some walking around my neighbourhood.

The Amazing Chair.

My computer chair can do what a normal chair cannot do.

Behold the amazing chair, the chair that cures constipation!
I'm serious. Place your butt on it and next thing you know you'll be flying to the toilet with your hands placed on ur bottom.

I just did it. Again.

(:

I'm running out of ideas of what to blog about these days.

Been catching up on movies that I missed.

Foon & Spork is miserable.

And I think I am the one to blame. Geez.

Outing on Thurs to Sue's place.

Rocker!

Rocker again! With a touch of Lalaness.

I really can be a Lala chick.

Remember to shave your arm pits if its hairy.

Is she giving you any ideas?

Outing on Sat to celebrate Suiee's Day.

Of Bird Watching and Feet.

That's my foot by the way.

4th Unit Rangers was in charge of Bird Watching and we represented the Malaysian Nature Society during the Mini Tourism Carnival in school. Yes, bird watching where people watch birds. I am an environmentalist but I have to say it was the most boring booth of the day. The booth had all the information about birds and the Malaysian Nature Society members actually brought along a DVD about birds. If anybody out there have insomnia, I strongly recommend you to watch that DVD. It takes about 5 minutes max. to put you to sleep. Achievement of the day? We sold a book which costs RM45 to Mr Lau who bought it after some convincing and gave away approximately 5 membership forms to those who were genuinely interested in birds. Come to think of it, most of the members of the Malaysian Nature Society are teachers and from what I saw, single. I'm afraid the chances of me joining them over the years are pretty high. Not because I would like to be a teacher but I might be a bitter old woman and somehow developed a liking towards birds.

Touch wood.

Of Open Houses and Politicians.

Curse the bugger who bang-ed the cable post in front of my house. Seriously, of all houses why must it be mine? Thank God I can finally online now.

Recently went to a lot of open houses. Trust me, I can never get enough of Indian food. Its just so yummay! ! I went to my dad's friend's open house and boy, the food was like heaven. Heaven I tell yah! So I was so busy with the food that I did not notice that Anne, the German exchange student was there as well. I didn't know she was staying with Uncle Kula. That was not the only surprising thing for the night. While I was indulging myself with the OMG-So-Tasty food, suddenly a man was walking down the porch shaking everybody's hand. As usual, being myself, I paid full attention on the food and when he finally reached my place, I looked up to shake his hands and TADA~ Lim Kit Siang standing in front of me. Fuiyo. Its not everyday you get to see him. Hahaa.

The best open house? Pavi's. Hands down. It may not be a big house with fancy furniture and a huge compound. It may not have the most and best tasting food. It may not have the big shots and VIP attending her open house. It may not have fire-crackers. But it was the best open house. Why? Her grandmother cooked all the food on the table instead of catering. She made me feel so at home just like it was my house. She offered us cookies and murukus. She apologised for not making rasam for me when I was just joking. It was just her family and her friends. Isn't that the whole point of having a open house? To spend quality time and to do something for your relatives and friends that is from the heart? Thanks so much, Pavi! Oh, and I must admit, Chandra Gupti is a very interesting woman.

Like I promised, updates on China Trip. I'm just gonna load a couple of pics since blogger's not really co-operating and it has been so long ago anyway.

Nice place to search deep inside you.

These are slippers. Actually were slippers.

People wear flip flops now.

HAHAHAAAA! My name seriously rocks.

5 star hotel wey. Good taste with the name.

Not so typical stuff to find in China.






And then the typical stuff you find there.

Mountains, rivers, that's what you get.

During the China Dynasties, they actually do have porn. In a well, more solid form.

Won't post the pic here. But if you're curious, its printed on porcelains.

**

Screw end year exams.

I will not be so spontaneous after what happened yesterday.

There is a price to pay.

Arms ache like hell now.

Anyway, can't wait to celebrate Deepavali in Pavi's open house.

Please say this post is not a feeble attempt to revive my dying blog.

I just missed the train.

And I think its something good.

EvaDiva's Day.

My long over-due post.
Firstly, my sweet sixteen was the best birthday so far in these 16 years.
Thank you so much to all my friends and family!

Secondly, I came back from China about a week ago.

And I apologise for not updating my pityful blog.

Thirdly, Rangers farewell is over.

Fourthly, I finally went to 1U to stuff myself

with Shogun's scrumptious food.

Lastly, Exams Part 1 ended.
Whoop de doop!

Everybody meet Scrappy.

Scrappy was a gift from my friends.

& I'm still debating on the gender of Scrappy.

THANKS A MILLION TIMES to :

MUM! Sueli Diana Jane Deb Kim Mag Pavi Ykit Suiee Nicolas Raeshma Tharshini

Srsly. Thanks so much you guys!

A mini one from Dung. (:

What could be better than handmade cupcakes from your closest group of the most awesome friends??

The Mr Ng pose.

Went mamak-ing with Sue, Jane & YKit before Mr Ng.

What a nice thing to do to end the day!

*

I am very thankful for all the birthday wishes and birthday cards from Jane, Eldon, Mr Insurance Man & handmade ones from Sueli! I will always love my family no matter how weird they are. I am very grateful for everything my friends did and planned for me. I am very lucky to have Sueli as my annoying bestie for 9 years and still in counting. I am very thankful to everyone who made my birthday a special one this year!!

PS: Boy was I surprised to get a guitar for my birthday!! I thought the mini one was how close I was to get a guitar. And Sueli actually wrote me a song!! More surprised, I was. Because it actually sounded good. Hahaha! And the cupcakes, they were delicious! Especially when it is made from the heart. Just exactly how Eva Diva likes it.

PPS: Updates about China trip and recent events in the next post!

Take A Break.

Sis brought back her Lappy and she was kind-hearted enough to download a movie for me to watch over the weekend. It was The Other Boleyn Girl. I happily thought that I had a romantic comedy movie to waste my time on. See see the setting is during the 18th century. And I didn't laugh at any scene. =.=

Natalie Portman was in it and I dunno whether is it just me but I thought it was weird to see Natalie with long (silky smooth!! Sorry I love saying that. Zohan got me.) hair. I mean the last time I watched a movie with her in it was V for Vendetta and I vividly remember her being bald in it... Anyway I didnt finish it. Felt a tad bit guilty for not studying.

//

I am so thankful that I'm getting a break from reality.
A break from everything.
Goodbye Ipoh!
And Hello China.

P/S: Happy Birthday in advance to myself ! and Dad in case I don't have the time to blog
tomorrow.
And of course to you, Angelyn! Have a great one.

Converse No. 3

First thing's first.
I've been tagged by Sueli but I'm too lazy to do it.

And I've been awarded by Mabel ages ago and I just realised it.
Thanks anyway!

Secondly,

I would like to announce the arrival of a new pair of Converse into my collection. Whoop me!

I've been hoping to get a printed one though.

Noticed the Germany flag??

I guess that's my early birthday present from Dad. Really nice of him considering he hardly gave me anything during my birthdays and I ain't complaining or showing my dissatisfaction cos well, nobody owes me anything. Especially my parents. I owe them everything. That's something most teens conveniently forget or never realised. Seriously. Using parent's hard-earned money like nobody's business on useless stuffs as though money is like pee. Dude! Wake up, man.

Oh and I am proud to say that I have the same birth date with Dad.

I am truly Daddy's little girl.

Face Problem.

I have been trying to online for the past few days but unfortunately the DSL keeps blinking for God knows what reason. I'm already at the end of my tether. And its seems that I'm the only one in my family whom the DSL blinks for. What the hell. Must be my face punya pasal. Yup, my sis must be right. Face problem. But for now, she's wrong. Hahahaha!

Anyway, there ain't anything interesting to blog about this week. Unless you consider me hitting my head at the corner of the freezer door while taking a Yakult out from the fridge interesting...The pain was excruciating.
Oh and I was in JJ yesterday and I finally ate in Black Canyon. That was my first time. (Okay, don't laugh!) And on my way out I saw this IIS bus thingy and I think they actually have a shuttle bus to JJ! What the hell? Man, MC doesn't even own a bus!

Going to Diana's tomorrow for a Buka Puasa Party! That's probably ze most happening thing for me this week. I'll probably have the chance to finally meet Hannah the cat tomorrow. Whooop!!

Weird Fact.
Did you ever noticed that Mona Lisa has no eyebrows? It seems that back in those days, shaving your eyebrows is a trend.
Who knew?


Note to self : Buy Honey Chicken.

Dung's Day.

HAPPY SWEET SIXTEEN, DUNG


I won't say much here cos I think the video I made for ya would describe everything. I know you're touched and flabbergasted and you better be! Hahaha. Anyway, I would like to thank everyone who helped me make the video a success. Dung, your sweet sixteen is sweet. For you, for me and for all of us. Lastly, thank you so much for sticking with me through all the ups and downs. Thank you for knocking some sense into me when I'm crapping. Thank you for kicking my ass and being pissed at me when I'm not sensitive enough to notice something is wrong. Thank you for sitting beside me in class cos if it is not for you, I wouldn't know I actually do have homework to do. Thank you for bringing my stuff back to class when I left it in the canteen. Thank you for tahan-ing me in class when I sing Row Row Row Your Boat in my own version. Thank you, Sueli. Lastly, you suck!

And The Nightmare Begins.

I watched it twice. First time, I laughed till my Twisties flew outta my mouth. Second time, I just laughed. Nothing flew outta my mouth. Phew! Overall, its mindless humour. But still, it did make me laugh.

I still have not watched Wall.E ! Eva's the name of the girl robot right? ( According to Deb's blog )You see. The producers have really good taste. :D

If you wish to laugh or look at some idiotic pictures of me, please log on to :

And the nightmare begins tomorrow. Aw Man!

The Post.

Diana came over today! It was totally last minute. She just called and said, "Eva, I come to ur house now, k? Since I'm fetching my bro to Maziah, " and in about 5 minutes, she's here. So happy!! I was really really lonely la the whole day. Walked over to Ipoh Swimming Club to have lunch. Alone, sadly. Why lah? Why lah nobody lives near me?? WHY?

But I had fun today with Diana. She made my day. Like srsly. And I desperately need to find someone to fetch me around. Wish my sis is back. Cos I'm kinda scared to take the taxi alone cos I might get raped. It is very dangerous for a 16 actually 15+ year old girl to take the taxi by herself which is driven by an old Cina Ah Pek. Who knows the Cina Ah Pek might go all high ? Cannot. Dangerous. Maybe I should just stick with in-door entertainment. Man!

//edit

Sometimes when we're to busy with our lives we tend to forget to notice all the small things around us. So today while I was brushing my teeth, I actually took the time to scrutinize my bathroom and I realised there are 9 toothbrushes, 3 tubes of toothpastes and a variety of shampoos and body wash. WHO THE HELL NEEDS 9 toothbrushes when there is only 3 person using ze toilet. Its not like I have 3 mouth or something..

PICS.

Girls can be aggresive at times.

Yo! Greetings from Eva.
