Happy Merdeka Day Malaysia! (Strange way to put it but I can’t think of any way better) I’m Malaysian, and proud to be one. ;p I have to be awake in less than 7 hours and will be away from home till evening. I hope I don’t fall asleep tomorrow (technically, today). There’s a party to enjoy! So I really probably should get enough sleep… but, I don’t feel sleepy, just yet.

I just finished making a collage for my netball team. I had no inspiration whatsoever to do a layout - I just drew ugly unknown stuff. Oh, today I went to watch Ratatouille: I liked it! Went with my mum so at least, I went out after exams. Saw a couple of schoolmates. Bought paper from Shabby Chic. We went in there twice - once before and then after the movie and left with 3 pieces of paper. Expensive, but really good quality and pretty too. I’m just thinking of how to use them. Last night, I slept at 4 am, staying up to finish the book, Everyone Worth Knowing by Lauren Weisberger (author of The Devil Wears Prada). Overall, it was very familiar - storyline was quite similar, just more drama in this. Nothing very unexpected or out of the ordinary.

Oh well, I’m going to leave with a few pictures.

6.45 pm 23rd August 2007

I love this shot, taken a minute after. The lower half is a reflection of the sky. Guess what I used as support to get that reflection?

The skies in Brunei are beautiful really. They’re different everyday. I can actually sit and watch the clouds move or just stare at the sky. I can’t recall seeing pretty skies in Malaysia - I think I’m going to miss the colours when I go back.

EDIT: I just posted less than minute and Steven has already read my blog. And I’m still editing it. Hi YOU whom I happen to be talking to at this time.

1. We won the Interzone Netball Tournament hence, we’re champions in the whole nation. Hooray for us! My team rocks! (including Coach of course - where would we be without her?)
2. I twisted my ankle in the finals. That was on Tuesday and after 4 days, it’s still swollen. The swelling’s been appearing and disappearing a little. Right now, it’s bad.. again. What happened was, I somehow landed with my foot either bent inwards or outwards (I can’t remember). The “first-aid” lady asked where the pain was. I couldn’t describe where exactly - it was all around the right ankle. So she put ice on the left side of the ankle. A few hours after getting home, my dad realized that it was swollen on the right side and the left side was blue-black. So iced the right side this time. The pain was intense, too much to walk. So I literally hopped on one foot up the stairs with my hands as support. It was fun really; my parents would have bombarded me seeing me go up the stairs that way.
   The next day, I went to school in shoes - terrible idea. Next day wore slippers with ankle guard. Oh, wearing the ankle guard the first time was strange. It feels unbalanced as one foot has something wrapped around it while the other doesn’t. Yesterday, somehow the left side of the ankle (the iced blue-black part) hurt really badly when I touch it. Then, my dad used ginger and some ointment to massage it. My mum’s friend said massaging isn’t good for sprains though. Anyways, a lot of pain yet again then this morning, the swelling seemed to have gone down. But look, it’s back .. and it’s bad.
3. I wore slippers to school today and my feet were freezing. So were my fingers. The hall’s air-cond must have been at a very low temperature. One and a half hours for Malay 1 in the cold “weather” probably caused my handwriting to turn uglier towards the end but ya, couldn’t be bothered. Imagine the next 2 and half hours for Maths in crazy chilliness.
4. So yes, Mock exams have started. I can sense I’m not going to do well - who am I kidding, I’m barely halfway through revision for all the Sciences and seeing that I seem to have the time to sleep so much, blog, surf the net aimlessly, watch TV and Grey’s.. I’m so going to regret all the time I’ve wasted and am wasting. I’m most worried for the sciences - I’m getting more worried by the second thinking about how much I have studied and how much I have left to study. Oh no.. Someone lecture me/knock some sense into me and get me to study or I’m dee-ee-ae-dee .. DEAD. Gah~
5. I think that’s about all the things I have to say. Goodnight and oh, good luck to those having exams.

And so I’ve said, “I need a break from everything” but till now, I haven’t got it have I? Not that, I’m giving it all to get it though.
With every single little step I take, I add that much to my pile of regrets.
With every thought I have, I add more than needed to my endless list of un-answered questions.

Certain things come and go but they leave imprints on you. They make you think, confuse you, frustrate you and in the end, you’re left bothered, frustrated and without answers; and you have no idea what to do.

Hmm, did you dear reader, purposely highlight these few lines, copied and pasted somewhere to read all these? It’s interesting if you did. Because really, these are my thoughts which I wish to type out but don’t need attention given to them.
