for the last time.

my school, folks.
no, not the whole building. just the shop lots under the "CALVARY" sign. 

Like many other posts, I shall start with a "it's been a while!".

It's been a while since I updated the blog, and I'm sorry! Oops.

Anyway, school holidays started this Monday, but our teacher decided to have extra classes for us on Wednesday and Thursday (today). My school is shifting to the big building (CCC) that I blogged about previously, so technically today is the last day that we'll be here.

Also, this morning, I was helping my teacher pack science lab stuff. We were taping up boxes and labeling them and my teacher said this: "Anything we leave here will be cleared by the movers!" Omg. :'(

So I decided to be jakun and take pictures of the premises. So here goes a guided tour of my school!

at the entrance, there's this
reflective (?) glass door. this is kind of
an unofficial mirror for anyone who wants
to give themselves a last minute check
before entering school. 

And then, as you go in, you notice this sign which tells you where to go.

After that, you go up the stairs or take the lift if you are a lazybum like me... and the rest of the school.

This lifts holds a lot of memories. It is where my group of friends, Strictly For Girls, took our lift photo. It's also the ultimate troll-tool, where we purposely call for the lift at the first floor so that whoever who was on the way to the second floor would get stuck. And our lift is the slowest lift ever because the close button is broken. Either that or it's just very, very delayed.

After that, we head straight up to the office, on the 3rd floor.

Ding-dong, ding-dong. Whoever staff is supposed to open the magnetic door for us when they hear this bell, but every one knows the password...

2-5-4-6. LOLOLOL.

In the office, a long corridor leads you from the main office to the rooms.

okay maybe it's not that long.

Then you'll see the computer lab.

*don't even ask what Kathy was doing*

The computer lab is notoriously known for it's musty smell, also known as the "pee" smell. It is also the house of many laggy computers which nobody uses. Besides, all my accounts classes were held here. The best part of the lab is that it holds the wi-fi modem, very famous to the students as the internet connection called "AIM Lab".

Okay, now we head back down to the second floor, where we students have spent countless hours. Our classrooms are there, the awkward corridor is there, the free-time room is there, and the pantry is there. I'll explain these soon.

Here are our classrooms: 

the O2 classroom, which we used last year.

and our classroom! the O1's.

I'll miss all the times we spent in these two classrooms doing these things:

1. studying, obviously.

2. doing lifepacs.

3. falling asleep.

4. actually sleeping.

5. complain about the amount of homework.

6. wrack our brains for essay ideas.

7. made noise.

8. harassed our teachers. 

9. talked to our friends.

10. snacked.

11. played silly games.

12. jammed; singing songs and playing the guitar.

13. getting lectured by the teachers.

and the list goes on. :') 

yesterday and today.

Today was a hot, sweaty and tiring day. But first, let's rewind to yesterday morning.

23.5.13

Yesterday was Teachers' Day in our school. We had a little appreciation service for the teachers and staff of AIM College, during which I was the emcee. It was completely impromptu; it was the best emcee job ever. We had speeches from each class, messages to the teachers, represented by Leona for O2 and Keenan for O1. I've got to say that the teachers quite enjoyed what we had to say. After the service, we had lunch at Tange, where we treated the teachers for the meal. After lunch, we headed back to class where we took group photos and played games.

Class photo!

Around 2 pm, the six of us girls (KFCM2J) left for Florence's house. We cramped in Florence's mom's Harrier, along with Keenan, who decided to car pool with us. He sat in the car boot, which led us to calling it "smuggling a bangla in the trunk." It was a laugh.

By the way, the girls gave me a hard time for breaking a promise of bringing two movies and Taboo (the word game). I completely forgot to bring it for the sleepover so we kind of had nothing to do for awhile.

So, when we reached Flor's house, we played the Game Of Life. I have never seen this game so interesting. Usually it is quite boring to me, but this time, it was pretty fun. After that, we played the Dance Dance game on Flor's PlayStation, during which I sweated like nobody's business. It was some good workout. Then, Flor's mom said that dinner was ready so we went down, my stomach growling. Lasagna and spare ribs waited for us downstairs, and I've got to admit that the food was awesome. I ate darn a lot of lasagna. After dinner, we went to the playground/park. Scooters, slides, swings, seesaws, flying foxes, pepsi-cola (yes, the childhood game) and our laughter filled the evening. After some two hours, I was really tired and then we went back to the house.

this is me getting stuck in the slide.

After all of us showered, we watched Mean Girls (I finally watched it!). It was really funny. Since the movie kept pausing halfway, we got fed up. Carmen and I got hungry so we went downstairs, where Flor heated up leftover lasagna for us. NOM. We also had cookies and marshmallows. Awesome supper. When we were done with our food, we finished watching Mean Girls, and, surprisingly, went to sleep.

BREAKING NEWS: SIX GIRLS AT A SLEEPOVER SLEPT BEFORE 2 AM.

This is catastropheeee.

24.5.13

So we slept for about eight hours and woke up at 9 something the next day. For the first time, I felt refreshed on the morning of a sleepover. In the morning, we played card games (Speed and Uno), then went down for breakfast. We had sandwiches with egg mayo, bacon, sausages, tomatoes, lettuce etc. We also had mushroom bruschetta (did I spell that right?). There was leftover lasagna too. NOM.

Then we got ready to go out to Mid Valley Megamall. After getting ready, we all cramped again in Flor's brother's car (but this time, there was more space). When we reached Mid Valley, we met up with Zhen Yi (who got there really early) and walked around for a bit while waiting for Keenan and Bryan to arrive.

After Keenan and Bryan arrived, we went to play...

LASER TAG! :D :D

It was super fun. And super tiring too. We played twice, and I bumped into Ashley, an ex-school mate, at the laser tag place. Our group played with her friends twice. My score was the highest in the team twice! Sadly, though, our team never won because the other teams were just too good :(

we look too cool here.

After laser tag, I was sweating like crazy. I think I ran too much in the arena. EXERCISE OF THE YEAR. We were hungry (no lunch, I just realized) so we went to Sushi Q to grab some food. After I was done with my food, my family came to collect me and I left.

So there was my day! I'm still slightly unwell, but thank God I wasn't full-on sick during the sleepover.

Oh, and thanks to Kathy for the photos! :)

Till next time!

the second tallest.

On Sunday, 19 May 2013, my family and I had a great time at Menara Kuala Lumpur a.k.a. the KL tower. My cousins, aunts, uncles and grandmother were there too, and we had high tea to celebrate a belated Mothers' Day. It was indeed HIGH tea, since we had it in the revolving restaurant... 

HERE.

KL tower!
At 1381 feet, it is the tallest tower in Malaysia after the Petronas Twin Towers.
Malaysian pride, yo!

You see the pod? Part of it is a revolving restaurant, which we had our high tea in. It's called Atmosphere 360 since it spins a full round in two hours, giving you a beautiful view of the city of Kuala Lumpur as you enjoy your food.

These are the twin towers, obviously the main attraction of the view. ;)

Anyway, we entered the building at 3 something in the afternoon, where we waited in the lobby for quite awhile because the place was packed. As we waited for the elevator to arrive, I couldn't help but take a picture of the magnificent ceiling in the lobby.

JUST LOOK AT IT. WHAT!? IT'S A CEILING, YES.

tickets ;)

Anyway, when the lift arrived, my family was just there being jakun.

My family, everyone. 

We went up so many floors; I lost count. When we reached a certain level, my ears started to pop. Pressure.

And after a loud "ding!", the doors opened, and we were presented with a really nice galaxy-like lobby, with the restaurant's sign and, on the floor, how many metres we were in the sky. Check this out!

woo!
282 metres!

And in we went to the restaurant! :)

Panoramic-ish view of half of the restaurant. I tried my best! 

We started pigging out...

food food food food food

Unfortunately, I wasn't feeling too well that evening, so I only ate two plates. WHO ON EARTH EATS TWO PLATES OF FOOD DURING A BUFFET?

Oh, and here are some interesting facts about the restaurant's... toilets.

These doors are done by my second uncle's woodwork company.
And look at those handles; apparently, they cost over four thousand ringgit.

This handle is the toilet cubicle's handle. It's over a thousand.

And this sink is the coolest sink ever. You see that cross on the top right?
Just touch the cross and the water will flow out of the slit in the middle.
So darn cool (y)

And of course, a mirror selfshot with the cousin.
HA WE'RE SUCH GIRLS.

Ooh! Another interesting thing about the restaurant:

Here's my dad posing with an awesome-looking door. It's the entrance to the restaurant captain's door.
My uncle also designed this! :D

and then, my grandmother was presented her Mothers' Day gift: 

A CHEF HAT!

Aw, doesn't she look cute?
And by the way, my father wanted to pretend to be like her, so he took a napkin
and wrapped it around his head. LOLOL.

And then we started getting bored of the food and stuff, so I decided to test out sitting and eventually lying on the glass windows. It's actually kind of comfortable, but when the doubts of the glass breaking creep into your mind, you'll never go near those windows ever again. I mean imagine, the whole KL city lying beneath you, and all you see are trees, buildings, highways... and you're just there, lying on top of it all.

CERTIFIED EMO PICTURE.

Then, my dad did the most awesome thing ever. He spread out on the window, feet on the frame, stomach facing down, and limbs splayed out. He looked something like this, but this is ME doing it. Everyone was like WAHHH YOU SO BRAVE AH JESSICA!

This is my favourite picture ever. I mean look at this! I look like I'm skydiving without a parachute.
Oh KL, how I love you! *embraces KL with a big hug*

So there's my day at KL tower, and here's a picture of me 

while I sat with the city in the background. :D

And a pic with the fam: 

thanks for reading; 

'Til next time! :)

*by the way, by the time you have finished reading this post, you have just helped me pass A THOUSAND BLOG VIEWS.
thank you so much! :) 

cookies

So today I spent the evening at Kathy's house. I stayed back a little later than usual to...

BAKE COOKIES!

Believe me, I don't normally bake. I used to say that I would burn the house down if I bake. Even if there is no fire involved.

Anyway, Kathy managed to convince me and we started baking. After searching for a recipe (chocolate chip cookies, obviously) online, we started work.

I was way too excited, seriously. When Kathy was done measuring the chocolate chips, as she was measuring the other ingredients, I kept sneaking in handfuls of chocolate chips. It's okay, we had so much. 

Just look at them! Who can resist?

After measuring all the things, we beat the mixture and got cookie dough! :D 

Ta-da! I kept sneaking in bits of dough too, until Kathy reminded me that there were uncooked eggs in them.
Then I stopped. 

After scooping spoonfuls of dough onto the baking sheets, we popped two trays into the oven. 

by this time, I was beyond excited.

Soon after that, the aroma of freshly baked cookies filled the kitchen. Nommm.

Anyway, we kind of messed up a bit on the temperature and the duration so the first batch was a little soft. So we raised the temperature and the duration and the second batch got slightly burnt. Slowly, we switched around the temperatures and the duration and we got it just right. Yay! 

Chocolate chip haven!

Between batches, Kathy and I were slightly high from the sugar content in the cookies, so we kind of laughed and joked non-stop. It was fun :D And she also gave me two containers of cookies to take home.

Mom tried them and said they were nice. Woo! 

So there was my evening. Quite productive, considering the fact that I had planned to do nothing today because MONTHLY TESTS ARE OVER! *cue celebration*

Anyway, it's 12:23 a.m. now and it is the 18th of May. This means that it is the birthday of my funny, slightly clumsy, cray-cray, bookworm of a friend, Ms Florence Chieng! Thanks for all those entertaining times you've spent with me ;) 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FLORENCE!

found this picture of the two of us and thought it was pretty cute. HAHA.
Love you, Flor. x 

Ciao. 

Seeds.

Hi everyone! I'm back :)

So these two weeks are going to be the last in the Damansara Perdana premises of my school. From 10 June onwards, the term will resume in CCC, the big building I blogged about during Easter.

Because of this, we're going to eat at as many different restaurants as we can, just to eat there for the last time. Nostalgia :')

Anyway, today is the last day of monthly tests. Did my accounts paper today, and it went better than I expected. Hmm. But before I can start celebrating, there's the weekly Business Studies test tomorrow. Which means I have to study.

Why why why whyyyyy.

I guess it's all for our own good to have tests every month, and in the case of business studies, every week. Considering the fact that 'O' Levels are only five months away, it's really not that far. Kathy and I were talking about it that day and we realized that five months is twenty weeks, and twenty weeks is...140 days.

*cue scary music*

Oh, we did an experiment on dicotyledonous seeds today, and we decided to create a little Hitler-lookalike. Enjoy.

Bye for now.
