To Calyn

I know my last post was like 2 years ago! LMAO,like seriously but I really wanted to do this post for your birthday especially since I forgot about it. I swear its because I m not in school anymore I barely know what day is it in the week. SORRYYYYY! I ll get you something pink with my first paycheck, whenever if I get one? Forgiven? LOL

Anyways this is probably going to be long and wordy (Mostly to drive other people away from reading it cause this post will contain many embarrassing pictures)

Calyn Ong Jen Ching.

Jan 10th 2004

Probably about the first day I met you. First impression? High class, snobbish Convent kid, follow-the-rule-fromA2Z-type of girl.;P. Probably about the first day of school, I was new to the school and you were selected to recite the school song to us "new girls" in school.

You were probably the class monitor or something cause I remember you collecting money from me in class. But that is probably all that I remember about you in 2004 cause GLADLY the week after the school decided to downgrade me to the second class.

Oh yeah another incident I shall not let you forget, one day towards the end of the of the year I unexpectedly did pretty well surpassing most of the first class students and out of a sudden I was noticed by you guys. Haha and this was what happened:

*note we have never really spoken before*
We were sitting at one of those gazebos, Hoay yean, you and I.

Calyn: You did really well in the exams. I was really surprised.
Me: er....haha
*HY and I exchanged the wtfiswrongwiththisgirl look here*
HY: No lah, she has always been good.

Hahaha bad impression much.

2005

You were still in the snobbish gang though we are now in the same class

2006

Okay so you weren't that bad after all. We got to know each other a lil bit more. Went to DOTA (was that the name of the camp?) together and the rest was history! =)

2007
My chance to finally maybe be in the same class with my fav classmates again (Song & Ash) hehe. But the school hates us so they decided to put us away from everybody else, I still wonder how did that happen!! I remember they read names for Sc3 first and we were waiting for our names to be called! T-T

So this is when you were separated from Reena, me from babes. Haha I think we almost cried, but I guess we were glad we at least had each other and of course ever since then I got my BEST TABLE-MATE EVER. (Sorry song and ash. She arranges my books! Haha what more can a girl ask for?)

2008
Probably the year facebook got popular, haha so I can share pictures starting now. This was the best yet the worst year.



Table mates! The LYNS. =)

Also the year Calyn and Song decided to cheat on me. Haha, so now there were three:


And then school ended, we went our separate ways. THE END........




HAHA NOT QUITE LIKE THAT.

And then we took SPM, sad farewells etc, but something I remember clearly and keep telling people is about the day Calyn checked the wrong ID for me, told me falsely that I wasn't selected for NS. When I found out it wasn't true, I started crying. And then you started crying I think cause Song and I were leaving you. Haha.

Can't remember if this was before or after NS, but one of the best trips ever:




Dear Calyn,

Thank you for

1. Being there for me to bully all the time, from the harmless Pengawas comment to the joke I pulled on you when I told you somebody died in the store room long time ago to scare you cause you needed to go through there every morning to check the classes. (F3 block)

2. Arranging my books, my bag, filling in my forms, ETC

3. Not giving me any perks being besties with one of the most influential prefects.I remember one time I forgot my name tag, and borrowed Song's spare. I had to hide from you all day long cause I know if you noticed you would have written me up anyways! T-T no mercy.

4. Lending me your money when I forgot to bring my lunch money

5. Always believing in me. I remembered I was the first you asked to be your head prefect campaign officer. WTH were you thinking! Campaign suicide??? LOL.I still think you deserved to win. (No offense to anybody)

6. Letting me diss pink, your fav color although I don't actually hate it that much. Kinda like it actually. Haha

7. Never finishing your hw, so I know i had to be a tiny bit more hardworking cause I can't count on you. ;p

8. Always there for me. I remember I was freaking out first day of college, and of course Song and you were kind enough to allow me to text you guys like 100 text messages that day to virtually accompany me.

9. Reading until here. haha was going to do 22 but yeah, you are too old. So you'll just be 9 years old to me. Teeeheee

Okay more pictures, of my two fav memories (after high school):

The day you guys surprised me by coming all the way to KL to send me off. Hey at that time KL was big deal. #biggirlcity



And the summer we were all Interning in the city, all grown up + our Genting re-make trip

Morning!

Just wanted to share two things which somehow seems rather inspiring to me.

an "Awwwwwwwwwwwww" post, here

food

It has been a month since the last update! Well today, after a long long week filled with exams,I decided that I was going to make dinner for a few of my friends.I dint give much thought to it at first, just that my friend,Jessie asked me to eat out with her as she was too lazy to cook, so I suggested that I cook instead. So in the end I ended up cooking for four, and halfway through I realize I have never cooked for more than two before and that they might not like my cooking.T-T
BUT, they finished everything, "fuh" * hopes nobody comes down with a stomachache tomorrow*

And heres some picture of the food. =)
p/s - table arrangement by my lovely suitemate, Paola.

Overall. =)Closer look at the chickenUS

Faster say its impressive! say it say it say it NOW! ;P

HI

So im approximately 15130 km away from home, what has change so far besides the fact that im no longer in Malaysia.

Firstly im never without at least two layers of clothing, besides when i m in shower.
I dont enjoy taking shower that much anymore.
I love the sun now, why do we ever complain its sunny? Sun's good=)
I wake up before 9am everyday so far, without the alarm clock! ( The sun shines in at ard 7)
Ive never brought water around, even to school in Malaysia but I m constantly looking for water right now.

Things that remains the same,
My hair is growing longer and longer everyday though its been less than a month since i last cut it.
Im still as messy as ever.
And i still have the same readers and I heart you all!!

Anyways heres a picture i took yesterday, I ll put up more soon. =)
Owh looks like my laptop doesnt want to read my memory card, another time then. =(

2 zero one 0

I read an article on christmas about what christmas meant to this guy, and for him christmas reminds him that in 6 days, the year will be ending and a new year begins. So i thought to myself during christmas, and i vowed to spend my last 6 days in 2010 wisely, sad to say i wouldn't say i did. However here I am writting my-year-end review slash maybe new-year-resolution-post on a brand new year. =)

So what did i do this year,

1. Took my SAT begining of this year, which was hell. I wasnt really prepared, and i dont think I put this test to use, but it taught me quite a bit. =)

2. Celebrated CNY in Taiping-Kota Bahru-Tok Bali-Cherating-KL....=), one of the best CNY ever. =)

3. Finally put my driving licence to use although I got it in April 2009, Its feels good being able to drive around, I m quite proud of my driving skills, =). As of end of this year, i have driven to, subang, pj, bangsar, klang, taiping and my lastest accomplishment is to drive from tpg to kl although not Solo.

4. Wooops got my first pay this year, hopefully more to come in 2011. ;p

5. First trip with friends from INTI to Langkawi. The trip was good, we chose Langkawi cause there was a discount for Airasia, and i think we paid just around RM 50 for the round tickets, but because our flight was delayed, we got a rm200 voucher from them. I kinda heart air asia...
6. My first prom!!! Haha, it was just alright, but still had fun playing dress up.
7. My first community service kinda work. Joined EPIC, 2010 where i signed up as a volunteer where we helped compiled a village census of their demographics, played with the kids and help in cleaning up the village a bit. My first time in a orang asli village too. It was a great experience and this program will mark the begining of me joining a program like this, cause the feeling after is just epic. =)

8. First time to Bangkok, but once is enough for me to fall in love with Bangkok! Shopping and food there is just awesome, I think its one of those place I will never get tired of, okay maybe not never, but you get what i mean.

9. Also took some weird subjects in 2010, and i secretly kinda like them. Naming, public speaking, philosophy, world religions and business communications. Though i complained about having to study for it, I have learned quite a lot from religion, I am no longer religion-noobed though I still stand by my beliefs before taking the subject. The two project that I did was also very interessting, might talk about this one day when I feel like it.

10. Went Bangkok for the second time, on a charity program sponsored by BRANDS. Some awesome stuff which marks my first time overseas alone for non holiday purpose.

11. Night out with ash which I will remember for a very long time. XD

12. Officially became an EX- intian.

There are also several farewells this year where I bid goodbye to some of my friends to Canada and US. And soon, 12 days from now, it would be my turn. This is what makes the 2010-2011 transition so special for me. 12 days, I m a liltle freak-ed out, okay maybe alot but it's the new year, what better way to start a new year than to start anew.

Honnestly I thought I was gonna come out with a list of new year resolutions although I dont usually make a list, but right now I am too nervous to do so, so lets just enjoy my 12 days, and hope for the best for ALL.

Playing with the continuous shot feature in the lake gardens, Pictures taken by calyn, we should do this more often. FUN.!!!!! =)
