DIY iPod Cover

Have you ever felt that no one sells very nice covers for iPod and only for iPhone? Want a cheap way to have nice cases without splurging on buying them online? Well, here's the tutorial for you. This is my first tutorial so I hope i can give very clear instructions so all you people can enjoy your beautiful iPod cases . My camera died so I had to use the iPad. Sorry for the unclear pictures. Also, don't be discouraged if you have an iPhone, iPad, or any other devices actually. This is a very simple DIY that can be applied to all devices. You just need the clear case (according to your device, of course) and the right measurements. Lets get started! Here's the stuff you need:

1)Pencil
2)Scissors
3)A design that you want as an iPod cover. (make sure it is in portrait or not the full picture wont fit! Unless you want the design to be landscape ) I printed my design on Microsoft Power Point. The slide is in landscape and 3 pictures should fit side by side. Its okay if there are extra's.

4)A clear casing. I got mine for RM10 at my local night market. Sadly, I only have this one but it works just as fine. Make sure is has sides that grip onto the edges of your iPod. I recommend you get a silicon one. It's much better and it protects your iPod too!

5) Your iPod (of course) (i can see my iPad lol)

 

Now, lets get onto making! First you would want to lay your iPod face down against your desired picture. Then, use a pencil and draw around the ipod. 

Remove the iPod and cut out the design. Don't worry, we'll draw in the holes for the charger, speaker, ear phones later. 

 After you cut it out, place the design into your clear case. Make sure you face the design inwards. (the white surface facing you). Fit the design in properly and don't worry if you see any folds. push the design gently against the casing, flip it around and draw the outline of the camera hole and whatever hole there is on the cover with a pencil.tle tricky. 

Take the design back out, and cut out all the holes. Its optional if you want to cut out holes for the volume and power button. I choose to not do it. The camera hole is a little tricky. Fold the part of the camera hole gently without making any lines on the design, cut a small hole big enough for your scissors to fit through and cut out the hole.

After you are done cutting all the holes, put the design back into the cover but this time, put your iPod too. Yes, you're done. Now, isn't that simple? Now, since you made your design, you don't have to repeat all these steps to make a new one. Just use the one you have and draw the outlines. Enjoy all the purdy designs you'll be making. Don't be surprised if your friends ask you where you get your casing. ;) Here's my other designs. (I'm a major swiftie if you guys didn't notice.)

*blows dust*

So, how long has it been? 3-4 months? Well, its because my internet got blocked and i have to study for PMR. But the good news is, ITS OVER! ITS FINALLY OVER! I CAN PLAY! Therefore, from today on wards, i will be on hardcore play mode until next year. Here's a summary of what i have been up to lately.

Forget it, i forgot what i did the past three months. all i know is that i had trials, flunked it, studied like a mad cow and i just finished my PMR today.Me and my friends had pizza for lunch. Yeah. Well, i have many activities to look forward to after this. There is this Petroscience trip that I'm going with my science teacher and friends. Then there's a gathering at my Primary School for children's day. Then there's another outing with primary school friends at ou, then theres a trip to go to Gua Tempurung and Lost World of Tambun at the end of the month. Then, it's school holiday until next year.

I'm thinking of having a part-time job somewhere to spend time. And maybe start an online business selling bracelets. Also, I'm planning of cutting up white shirts and dye them. What? My mom doesn't really let me buy clothes as much so might as well make my own. That is all i have for now. I have the day off tomorrow while the other people who take Chinese have to suffer MUAHAHAHAHAHAAHH! I'm evil. Bye.

Hi, Me Zombie.

Okay, first to say is that it has been 3 months since I update my blog. One, I'm busy. Two, I'm lazy. And three, nahh there's just two. So I'm BACK and I'm going to write about my Sports Day!

Woke up at 5:30 and arrived at the stadium at 6:45am. Got the marchers ready with the bows, caps, face paint and gloves. And guess who's our mascot? ITS IRON MAN EVERYBODY! We got on the track at around 7 and started marching at 7:30. Our solute was awesome and our Iron man bonded with the other house mascots like Yellow house's Spongebob, Blue house's Cinderella, and Green house's Ninja Turtle and Tinkerbell. We did the usual hoohah and the principle's speech was very long. When it ended, there was a sigh of relief.

After that, i don't really have anything particular to do. So i just walked around the stadium with Carlotte and Carissa then found Samantha and Yin Eang. After that, we all raced to the milo truck and attacked until Mr Mah decided that if no one ran for it, no one gets milo. And we took orders for the teachers. So we went back to the truck many many times. Then the guy suspected me for coming back so many times. Mr. Mah then took a box cover and loaded it with cups of milo and served the teachers. He handed me the tray so ever since that, I just an back and forth serving milo to the teachers around the stadium, the St. John members runners and Quarter Master's members. I served more than a hundred cups of milo with the help of my friends of course. The teachers faces when we gave them the milo is priceless.

When the truck ran out of milo, we had nothing to do already so i just hanged around the stadium and took stupid pictures with friends. After that i took Elizabeth's camera and snap pictures of the runners of the 4x400m race. Being on the field was a really great experience. Giving the runners support and all. And also helping the St. John fan the exhausted runners.

At around 1pm, the sports day officially ended and Red House was officially announced the winner. We  were all very happy and personally, I think we all wouldn't win if Khai Hann didn't help us, support us, be there for us. I swear, he was the best Manager red house could ever have. I also admire his bravery/ determination. He dare to walk into Diva (a girl's accessory shop)and bought hair ties for the girl marchers. I  don't know any other guy that would dare walk in there alone without the company of a girl. Just imagine the stares he got from the sales ladies at the store. Ng Khai Hann, I salute you man! You did your ultimate best.

After sports day, I followed Carissa home. And had a very fun time there. After i got out of the shower, Carissa wasn't in her room and when i walked out the door i had the shock of my life. Her brother shirtless outside. And i wasn't even wearing my glasses and wondering what on earth is that *squints eyes* HOLY BRIAN PUT ON A SHIRT LAH D': And he stil didn't wear a shirt until he bathed.And we had PIZZZAAAAAAAAAAAA and it rained and the power went out for a while and then cam back on so yeah. Discovered Brian's secret obsession for Miku Hatsune on his phone. And then stole his phone to take a picture and he chased me around the house. -.- I had to let go. He was squeezing my camera D:

Then yeah  he let me listen to a bunch of his favourite songs from Miku and watched tv and ruined Carissa and Brian's childhood. No thanks to Smosh and then I discovered that Brian and I share a love for Epic Rap Battles of History. GEEKS UNITE! And when their grandfather came home he pointed at me and Brian (we were sitting on the sofa staring at Miku videos, yeah) and had the weird face. Then Brian was like " She's Carissa friend." He doesn't seem to believe him so i said the same thing. I think he thought we were bf and gf. HELL NO WAY I WOULD DATE HIM. But staying at Carissa's house for 4 hours was fun. Having siblings is fun. I wish I had siblings. *starts ranting you don't have to know*. Then my mom came at 5 to pick me up then I went home.

That's pretty much how my day ended up like. Not much but it was fun. I promise i will update more often. Until then, see you in the next post :)

Must. Blog. Often.

As what the title says, I MUST BLOG MORE OFTEN! My blog is like, practically dead. So now, i shall update about 1) my visit to Clara's and 2) my trip to Bali. Okay? 1....2.....3.... GO!

On Tuesday, i visited Clara. Scheduled time of arrival is actually 11 but my dad wanted to go to work so i ended up arriving her house at 9. Phone convo:

Me: Yo, you awake yet?
Clara: yeah, just woke up. why?
Me: I'm ariving your house in a half hour.
Clara: wait. wait. WHAT?!
Me: Okay see you bye :D

Once i reached there, i was attacked by her cute dogs which really loves me then went upstairs to do nails. For 4 hours.  Then her mom drove us to OU for lunch. We actually walked while eating our so called lunch. We wanted to go to Diva to get some accessories we wanted and we saw Huey Ning, my wifey. The funny thing is, we see all the accessories online but when we go to the actual store, we can't find anything we want. Which is really stupid so okay. After that, we walked the entire mall and met a few other people. My first time trying Chatime that day. And stole a few macaroons from Clara.

Tried the Pearl Milk Tea. And it was AWESOME! 

 

The macaroons we bought. 

 

Cutest Tip jar ever. 

 

Got this Slap-on band.

 

And this necklace which my mom calls it a dog tag. Which IS'NT!

Now I shall talk about my trip to Bali! *le drumroll plays*

Arrived Bali at about 7 at night i think? The guy at the Imegration was not friendly. My dad's friends were just joking around and laughing and the guy was doing a death stare of some sort. Obviously we kept quiet. Then he questioned my dad in a very scary way. But we got over it. The guy is still very non-cheerful. Had dinner at the beach. Wind blew very strongly that my dinner nearly flew away. Luckily it didn't. Hanged around the beach then we head to the hotel which is Hard Rock Hotel. (yay)

Unfortunatly, the didn't have enough rooms. They only had 6 rooms available including 3 suites. So, my dad's boss's family (of 5) get to sleep in the Deluxe Suite which has a second floor (awesome!). I got the kids suite which can fit 2 adults and 2 children. I though the room will be quite small but it was huge. The manager of the hotel escorted me to the room and i was practically jumping and there is a PS3. YOU CAN PLAY GUITAR HERO! The manager is so nice to upgrade our rooms. We were suppose to have a normal room. He said that he would bring me the CD and i waited while jumping till midnight. Sadly ir didn't happen and i went to bed, falling asleep to Kim Kardashian ranting on E!

The next two days was mostly touring around the island. It is really cold up in the mountains. Reminds me of Gold Coast, Australia during inter in the mornings. omg. It is freezing! But i got over it. Some ladies who sell   oleh-oleh outside a restaurant kept asking me to buy their stuff. Convincing me with words such as "Tolong lah, saya takda wang. Tolong lah dik. Murahlah dik." And i shook my head till it becomes numb. I kept myself looking busy using my dad's friend's DSLR. :D Once the door of the bus opens, i ran as fast as i could. The ladies are scary. At lease 5 of them kept begging me to buy their stuff. I would but i got no money so yeah. And if i did buy the stuff, more of them would come my way and i would be in bigger trouble. I saw fat monkeys on the way downhill. They are so fat and furry i just want to jump out of the bus and hug them. Since we are traveling in bus, we can't stop for the monkeys. :( Then we passed a babi guling store, all my dad's chinese friends went and ate while the remaining of us sat in the bus and played around with the games in our phone/gadget. 

The second night's hotel was not really nice. They didn't even provide us shampoo. Luckily my mom brought some. The sea was rough so i couldn't get to see the dolphins the next morning. But, my dad won an iPad and i kept screaming "MINE!!!!" :D Then the whole gang went to a bar in town. While i drink on my juice, i observe the surroundings of the bar. I see a total of 5 drunk men, and 0 drunk women. I guy at the bar was so drunk he striped off his shirt and payed some hookers to have some shots with him. By the way, those hookers are ugly. The only reason the guy chose them is because their boobs are practically hanging outside their skimpy tops. 

The third night there, once again, because of the very kind manager at Hard Rock Hotel, he upgraded my room. And i FINALLY get to play Guitar Hero. I played it all night and slept on the ottom bunk of the double decker bed in the childrens room. Which was nice. Their internet dies 15 minutes before it's actual time to die which was stupid. But i had a fun nght in the hotel room. The next morning is the time we head to the airport and back for home. I will miss Bali, but i wouldn't really stay there for a really long time. Somehow certain people there scare me. But not as much as the people in Jakarta that appeared in the news the night before. 

I shall end my post here. It tok me about 2 weeks (?) to write this. The main cause is procrastination on the internet, and my distraction towards the iPad. Now, i finally finished this damn post. I talked too much. So, imma go now. Kthxbai. :)

Happy Leap Year guys!

Oh gosh. It has been one month since I updated something. School work is pilling up. Come to think of it, only now I think the school work is a lot because i do my homework everyday. Unlike the past two years, I literally lazed around and panic at the last minute. This Monday is the start of exams and honestly, I don't feel quite ready for it. My history, KH and Geography is really crappy. My other subjects, I don't really want to care about it. My aim is to get A for BM, BI, Geo, Sej (or maybe a B cause i suck loads) , Sivik, Art, Agama. I hope I can get better results for the others as well. If I get 6 A's I will get an iPod YAY! But must work hard. It's DO OR DIE!

Okay. The really exciting days recently is I met this new girl in Form 4 and she's like so nice. On "Friendship Day" she gave me a pair of ear rings and i only knew her for 2 months. I was really happy. THANKSLEKALEQAILOVEYOUMUAH! Okay. She and I have got along really well so you can consider us best friends. She really freaked me out yesterday (I won't mention it because i will suffer from a really terrible spasm kthxbai) SHOULD I OR SHOULD I NOT????!!! My first time omg what am i going to do? She already made reservations. I will so die. I am going to die. DIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIE. I'll go bang my head on the wall till it bleeds now k? k.

I think I am going to end it here. I really have to go injure my nervous system now. Toodles!

Rachel's CNY Steamboat party.

Yesterday night was by far the best night of my life. I assume I arrived the party a little late as everybody is already at the steamboat table eating. I gave them my packet of Onde-onde and headed into the house to eat. Everybody is already eating. Oh god i am super late. I ate quite alot. I guess then i watched Hazim and Kenny go head to head on Dance Dance Revolution. I am sad i don't own any game consoles. Really sad.

Hazim and Kenny is like ULTIMATELY GOOD on DDR. They got everything right man. Unbelievable. I tried a few rounds and failed terribly. Like even the slowest song i failed. Me and Charlotte both failed. Rachel didn't want to play. And I don't know what to step on. My gosh. Hazim helped at least. :)

Since everybody was darn tired from DDR, we switched games. Me and Rachel wanted to play Barbie. xD But we saw a better option: ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS! But we didn't get to play it. We ended up playing this racing games which we all sucked at, except for Hazim. Rachel drives okay. Cgarlotte too. But me on the other hand, I was practically drunk driving. I keep banging the walls of the street. Some people from Vivian's group of friends sat around and watched while i continue banging the walls. They then ended up discussing about drinking and driving. They concluded that people shouldn't Drink AND Drive but Drink BEFORE you Drive. I know it's a stupid topic to discuss but it is kinda true. Dont listen to them. Booze will make you go mad. LIKE ME yesterday. Although i didn't drink any booze but i was drunk.

When one of Vivian's friend went home and has to bring his PS2 controller back, we played DDR again. This time it's Vivian's gang who played. Me, Rach, Char and Grace headed outside and cam whored. We climbed the wall, took some really funny pictures , laughed a little bit, took more pictures, laughed somemore, Hypered a whole lot. Then we saw Hazim and Rachel's mom walk out of the house. He is going to go home. :( Gonna miss him and his DDR mat. We all were so "drunk" that we decided to escort him home. We girls squeezed in the back seat laughing like mad woman. Once we got back to the house, took more pictures and promoted SHANDY! I was the cameraman.

Then later, one by one, people went home. I was the last of Rach's group to go home. But hey, it was really fun. I didn't want to go home. D: Rachel, you better have another party. Okay?

Chinese New Year 2012

This is by far, the best Chinese New Year celebration I have ever had. I skipped school on Friday so i could head back to Penang without getting caught in the jam. My dad had work to do so I accompanied my mom to go buy some Chinese New Year requirements.

The next day, we headed to the old house at Tok Aka Lane to clean it. My uncle livs there but the thing i don't get is how can the floor be so dirty that the first step i took in the house made my feet black. I swept the floor then headed to get the dustpan. Guess what, there is a huge spider web on it. Can you imagine? HE DIDN'T EVEN SWEEP THE FLOOR!!! Me, my mom, my maid and even my dad helped and clean the entire house while my grandmother bosses us around and cleans the prayer table. My lunch was Line Clear Nasi Kandar. My favorite dish squid eggs was in mine. :)

After 2 long days of cleaning, It's finally Chinese New Year. I get to wear my dress. Imma post a pic on fb if free. So lazy to describe my CNY so imma just post pictures. Oh, and i have a baby niece now. :3 Her name is Angel Tan. AHA SO CUTE!!!

was my youngest cousin last year. not anymore :D

Meet my niece! Angel!!!

Lol so bad larh. :3

Angel got a Princess angpao. :D

she is shoo adowable... :3

A proud daddy. :) He's effing buff o.o

Like mother, like daughter. 

Oh and i went there on 

I got a shirt. Is it nice? :)

Oh and i met up with Yun Teng on the third day of CNY. We shopped at Queensbay Mall and bought matching clothes. Then she followed me to my aunts new apartment. She pole danced. :D okay end of story. Bye!

First Saturday

Today is the 6th day of the new year and the first saturday of the year. On the 4th, school reopens and the horrors of form 3 welcomes me with open arms. I am officially form 3 this year. When i first arrived school, i saw the new form 1's and literally, they get shorter and shorter. But i also saw many of my fiends and gave them huge long hugs and asked how their holidays were. My class is on the top floor so this year, everyday will be climbing hell. Currently sitting behind Ee Lee and Jia Jing, beside Asuka and infront of Samantha and Yin Eang. I am surrounded by awesome awesome people. Since I am not so close to Charlotte and the gang anymore but we still talk. So it's cool right?

Since it is the new year, I'm going to make some resolutions.

1) Study every day. I have to do that because i want to feel prepared before the exam instead of panicking at the last minute. That always happens and I don't want that to happen anymore.

2) Get Straight A's for PMR. I don't want to let my parents down and i don't want to let myself down. I know i can do it. It's just that i have to work harder than i ever have. I am still thinking on whether I should take Chinese because if i do, i will not get an A and there goes my resolution. But i want to try, and make a difference, to prove that even though you are not studying in an Independent Chinese school, but in a Government school, you can take Chinese as a subject even though you don't receive that education in school. But I know I suck in the subject and can only speak it, so i don't think I will be taking Chinese. Too risky.

3) Become a better librarian. I think I am not a good enough of a librarian. I don't think I involve myself much. I want to become a better Librarian, a better role model, so that the juniors will learn how to be a good librarian, just like how i did from my lovely seniors. First, I have to be more hardworking on the newsletter. two, I have to update the librarian blog more. Three, Help plan the camp and the Annual Dinner.

4) Get top 20 (or 20+) in class. I actually achieved that last year but the term after that, I dropped. So this time, I am going to do better and maintain it no matter how challenging it may be. I have very bright student in  my class so this is going to be a little difficult but I'll try anyway.

5) Respect people more. I have disrespected alot of people last year and I have lots a few dear friends and i don't want that to happen again. I have to control my emotions, and to choose my words. And i also have to not rant about people online because people will misunderstand. I also have to respect my parents more because i have disobeyed them too many times last year. I don't want their heart to break again. I don't want them to be sad or angry because of my own wrong doing. I don't want that happening again.

6) Be Fit (and be Skinnier). I seriously have to get the kilo's off. My thighs are like elephant thighs. Must cut down on food and run a mile.

7) Play AoOni. I know this is a stupid resolution but i have to gather up my courage to play it man. The purple troll runs so fast. Anybody know where to download the game? If you don't know what AoOni is, it's Blue Ghost. lol. Lame english name :P

8) Grow my hair till it is super duper long. yet another stupid resolution. But i want to have loose curls and tie a side plait. Since i keep experimenting on other people's hair instead of mine.

9) Be closer to God. I seriously have to do that. I keep neglecting my duties as a Muslim. I better improve on my Agama. Seriously.

10) Open a booth in CF with Yue. I kinda promised her so we are going to set up a stall selling buttons! All designed by us both. :3


I think that is about it. There might be some other stuff I want to achieve later in the year but i must achieve all these resolutions for this year and maintain it. Improving myself to be a better person. I will end my post here then. Kthxbai. :)

Back from Penang.

Just got back from Penang. At least there was internet or not i would actually die from boredom. My computer froze for quite sometime so i gave up on it and 'used the tab but then my dad fixed it. Thank you daddy! Mostly, i just stayed in the new house, watch movies, online and played games the whole time. But i did go out for just one day which was Christmas day! First we wanted to go to the beach but detoured to my uncle's house instead. Then we head to Kedah to meet my other uncle from my father's side. We just stayed in the house and watched tv while catching up. I on the other hand, didn't have anything to do so i took a short nap since my eyes can't stay open. Later we drove back to Penang and went to the beach for a while (I FOUND I HUGE SHELL!) then went to Queensbay Mall for dinner and shopping. And no, not shopping shopping, shopping meaning buying things we need for the house like new bed sheets and groceries. Not so exciting but i got a hair cut! :D my hair is shorter now. and my fringe is , well, a normal fringe. My mother can no longer nag me to pin up my hair :D

It's going to be the 2012 soon and the days of PMR creep even closer. I can start the new year fresh since i let go of some other things. I won't be having problems about certain things anymore. I don't regret (although i feel sad but i'll get over it soon enough). :) Oh and new year means new probaits! Torture time. Okay not to be so mean lah. I always say that. But if they seriously screw up then they are dead. I wonder how they will be like. Hmm. Hopefully they won't be lazy and arrogant. I have to improve too. My sudies are in the drain and i hope that my class won't be on the ground floor. Lazy to move around lah but then can skip class abit lah. And no more skipping class with Quek. After PMR only skip. :D I think I am done with my post since i have nothing else to say. Kthxbai. :D

A Letter to My Ex (My Christmas Wish)

Dear you:

        How are you doing these days? Hopefully you are happy. If you're reading this, it seems that we broke up. I'm doing fine. Don't have to worry about me. I don't mind if you hate me either. As long as you're happy I'm happy.

As you know, beautiful lights are hung on the front porches of houses and the side of the streets. A sign that Christmas is near. Everybody rushing around, trying to get their Christmas shopping done on time before the days arrive. I'm sure quiet a number of people have asked you what you want for Christmas, right? Same here. I tell them to not get me anything as I know they will have to take the time and money to get the present. So, to save their troubles, i decided not to ask for anything.  The only important thing is that the people you love are around you. That is enough to make me happy.

What am I saying? Of course i want something for Christmas but it is not the type where you can buy from any old store it's not something from a foreign country either. What I want for Christmas is for you to become a better person you already are. Let me explain:

It's not that you are a bad person or anything, it's not a bad thing to improve yourself right? I want you to do yourself a favor. Continue reading this letter. I know it seems like I am mocking you, in a way but I'm not so keep on reading. And please, please, please try to do what I'm going to tell you later in this letter. Here goes nothing.

I want you to be a better man. Don't make the same mistakes over and over again. Treat your girl right. You don't have to buy her flowers, or a necklace although a gift out of the blue is much appreciated. You  don't have to use cash to make a girl happy, unless you're dating the type who only cares for your money. Then that is her problem. What I'm trying to say is, just spend time with her. You can go over to her house and just laze around and your girl would be really happy even if she doesn't show it. Trust me, a little alone time with your girl goes a long way.

Also, remember the day which are important to her like her birthday, Valentines day, her parent's wedding anniversary maybe. You don't only have to remember it but you also have to show her that you remember. Some girls like surprise parties, some like quiet romantic dinner at home or at a restaurant, some would just want you to come over and spend your time with them. 

The rest, you just have to find out yourself depending on the girl you are with. Please be a better man. Don't make the same mistakes again. I don't want the girl you are loving to go through the hurt i did. I don't want her to break up with you because of your silly ways. I want her to love you to the fullest just like i did. Please. Be a man that all the other girls would kill to have.

All the best in everything you do. Don't mind about me. I'm living my life now. Just focus on yours. 

Sincerely,

Me

Balls of Glory

Today is known as the Chinese Winter Solstice. So as the chinese does it, we make tang yuan. Or to be exact, little round balls made of glutinous rice flour mixed with water and moulded, then boiled in sugar water. Some people put filling in the mould, some people mix the mould with some flavouring. Here are some pictures of my balls. :D

That's pretty much it. And i have something to recommend, it's an audio book actually. So far I have listened to the first 3 hours of it. I'll just leave the video here. The link for download is in the description. Btw, It's free. The author will pretty much explain what's in the book. It's free for the next 6 days only so better download it. It might take a while since it took about one hour for me to download using unifi. But i swear, it's a good book. Although it's only half of it but i still recommend it. GO GO GO DOWNLOAD!

New set of nails.

I somehow got inspired by those nail designs where most of the nails are he same and the remaining ones are different. Since the nail colours i have are really light and really dark so i decided to mix them together.

I call it Naughty or Nice. 

My christmas mood is kicking in. It's sad that i don't celebrate Christmas though. The main reason i want to celebrate christmas is because you get presents although it is not your birthday and you get to decorate a pine tree with lights and little balls of joy. All i can do is just enjoy the YTF Christmas album for now. See you in the next post :)

Diamond in the Rough

Recently, I have been working on a story, somewhat similar to Confession just that no one dies. I am going to upload the first chapter here and if you like it please comment in the shoutbox. If there is anything that i have to improve on then please let me know. Thank you :)
______________________________________________________________________________

Chapter 1

“Gah! When am I going to get out of this hospital? It’s boring! All I can do is watch tv. Although that is what I usually do at home too but with one arm in bandages, I feel completely miserable. At least my mom always stop by for a visit. I also love the food she brings. Way better than the food they serve in this damned place. “ thought Carly while watching the news in her ward.  Suddenly she hears a knock on the door.

“Honey, I’ve brought your apple pie. Feeling any better?” said her mother.

“Hi mom. Yeah, feeling better. The doctor said I can be discharged by tomorrow” replied Carly. 

“That’s great news, honey. At least you won’t be complaining on how bad the food tastes.” Said her mother while taking a seat beside her bed.

“Is my complaining that bad, mom? If yes then sorry.” Said Carly while having a bite of her apple pie.

“It’s okay. I’ve gotta go, okay honey? My boss wants me to do an extra shift at the store. You okay alone?” said her mother with concern.

“It’s okay. There is a game going on later. I won’t be that bored. Plus, I have your apple pie. I’ll be fine. Just don’t work yourself out, okay mom?” said Carly with a smile.

“Then I won’t disturb you with your game then.” She said as she closed the door behind her.

The room is now quiet. So quiet that it’s deafening. The only sound there is in the room is the music from the tv and Carly’s munching.  Outside the quiet ward there are nurses walking around, some are rushing, some are just talking amongst themselves. Doctors walking into other wards checking on their patients, some visitors at the waiting area.  The usual things you see at a hospital.  Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. 

“That’s weird. No one else visit’s me beside my mom. Maybe it’s the doctor or one of his nurses.” Thought Carly.

The tall handsome jock named Jason from her school stood before her. Brown hair, perfect facial features, bright green eyes, and a hot body to boot. Carly couldn’t believe what she was seeing. What is a famous with the girl’s prince doing in her room?  They hardly ever talk. One of the reasons is that girls always surround him wherever he went. Only his friends from the football team can bypass the commotion.

“Hey, Carly. Is your arm better?” said Jason nervously.

This is the first time Carly sees him nervous. Usually he would act cool and calm. Every word he say would roll off his tongue like warm butter and would be perfect when listened by others.  Absolutely, a prince. Obviously, he has strayed far from the path of perfection. To think him being nervous in front of her is completely unimaginable.

“Yeah. My arm is better. I still have to keep the cast on for another few weeks or so. I’ll be discharged tomorrow.” Said Carly while trying to think of a reason why Jason was standing in front of her. Not that she liked him or anything. She’s just puzzled.

“Glad to hear that.” Said Jason while taking a seat beside her bed.

An awkward silence filled the room.

“So, what brings you here?” said Carly, breaking the silence.

“Actually, I have something to tell you.” Said Jason softly.

“Really? What is it? “ said Carly while watching the game.

There was a long silence.  Without Jason noticing himself, he was actually breaking into cold sweat.  As he stared at the white tile floor of the room, Carly watched the game waiting for his reply. Realizing him suddenly quiet, she asked “You said you have something to tell me. What is it?” while paying close attention to the guy that stood before.

He slowly lifted up his head, gathered every single bit of courage and said “I’ve liked you for a while now. Will you go out with me?”

For a second Carly thought she heard it wrong.  After a few seconds of processing what she just heard, she was shocked.  Thinking of all the possible reasons why would Jason, the No. 1 dream date in school would like a girl like her? Concluding that this is all a joke, she said “I think you have mistaken. You, Brighton High School’s top man, would never like a girl like me.”

Suddenly Jason said “No. YOU have mistaken.  I really like you.  If you don’t like me I understand. I’ll just have to make you fall head over heels over me then.  Have a nice day, darling.” He said with a grin while walking out the door.

As the sound of people cheering from the game on tv filled the room, Carly has founded herself stunned by the remark that Jason has made.  In her entire life, she had never been confessed to.  Now that it happened, she doesn’t know what to do.  She can’t tell this to anybody but her mom.  She has no friends to talk about boys to, only her mom.  Only her mother will stay by her side. No one but she stayed by her side her entire life.

“What am I going to do?” she said to herself. 

Bukit Tinggi with Bestie

On Friday night, my mom told me that we are going to Bukit Tinggi for a weekend long holiday. Since the hotel room has two rooms, my mom suggested that i could invite Clara along. I ran to my phone which was upstairs and called Clara. Somehow, on the very same day, we were both talking about having a sleepover so when Clara's mom said yes over the phone, i was practically jumping for joy and nearly did a flip. I couldn't wait.

Finally the day arrived. Sunday. I called Clara at about 9 to wake her up because i know if i don't call her she won't wake up. We were both really sleepy as we slept really late the night before. At around 1pm, me and my family left the house so we could pick Clara up.

After picking up Clara, my mom decided to da pao some Subway sandwiches. After that, off to Bukit Tinggi. The weather wasn't that chilly at first but when we were slowly reaching the top, it was kinda cold. We checked into the room and dumped our stuff.  Me and Clara wanted to walk around the place to collect some pine cones. Since my dad is busy with his work, my mom decided to be our "body guard" and walk with us. Our main plan was to walk to the rabbit park then walk back to the hotel. Since my mom spotted a shuttle car, we hoped on it and made our way to the rabbit farm.

I remembered I used to go to that place all the time. I would remember all the bunnies and would go "Aww, look at you. You're all grown up." and starts hugging them. Then the rest will come to me.  I also remembered that you don't have to pay to enter the park. You just have to pay for the food. Now you have to pay RM3 just to enter. And the people that collect the fees killed the pet scorpion. I don't have a soft spot for insects but that poor scorpion was bullied, so there.

After that, we walked all the way back up to the hotel while picking up pine cones and taking pictures of the greenery. My mom picked up a long branch along the way and used it as a walking stick. Oh mummy. After that, we headed to the playground nearby to take pictures.  The metal fence was making a really creepy noise when the wind was blowing. We kept thinking there was a troop of monkeys wanting to attack us. Took really nice pictures which we think were tumblr worthy. Once back at the hotel, me and Clara changed into our Pijama pants as we forgot to bring shorts to change into and watched Monte Carlo. We goofed around with the Chipster bag. It wasn't so inflated but because the air pressure there was low, it was inflated to the max. Clara claims it as her new "face" but too bad, it died as we consumed the chips inside the "face". Didn't manage to watch finish the movie as we have to go out for dinner.

After getting ready, I heard my mom scream outside the room. Somehow, the moths from outside entered the hotel room and practically attacked every single light source available. My dad, being a hero, offed the lights and opened the door so the moths would fly out. On the way to the car, we have to hide our heads from the swarm of moths flying above our heads. My dad and Clara were lucky as their jackets had hoodies while me and my mom had to pull our shirts a few inches higher to cover our heads.

Finally we reached the car and so we drove to the French Village located further up the hill. We walked around, took pictures, then settle down at a restaurant and have our dinner. The food was okay but it was really pricey. After we are done with our meal, we stayed at our seats and watched the performance nearby. It was really good performance. I really enjoyed the gymnastics act. The girls were so flexible that i was confused which side was actually their back. After that, we head back to the hotel.

Fortunatly for us, the moths were gone, either they flew away or died. Me and Clara throw ourselves onto the bed and lazied around for a while. Noticing a whole lot of dead moths on the floor of our room, i used the welcome mat and sweeped the dead moths our of the room. We were so lazy to change so we decided to change after watching finish Monte Carlo.

Suddenly i heard something funny while watching the movie. It was actually my phone.  It was an unknown number. Then the person called again. It was him. He wanted me to call him back. Wondering what he wants and as Clara was curious, we both switched phones just so that i could put the call on loud speaker. I have to admit i was kinda mean but i seriously don't want anything that has to do with him anymore. He was still wondering why i cried that time. Hard to imagine he still remembers though. Then we talked about some useless crap and Clara took pictures as evidence. Bad Clara. We kinda ended the call awkwardly and i freaked out a little then continued watching the movie. he called again at around midnight and the movie ended. So, Clara actually took my phone and offed it just so he couldn't call again. Then played One Direction songs to cheer me up. CLARA, IF YOU'RE READING THIS, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! I WILL MOVE IN WITH YOU ONE DAY!!!!!! I WILL!!!! PROMISE!!!!

After that we kinda got hyper and goofed around. Laughed too much. Laughed too loud. My mom even called my phone and asked what we were laughing about. Clara started up her iTunes then we hypered all the way. Laughing, talking. It seemed like a long time because once we were done, it was about 2 am in the morning. So we decided to watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire before we hit the sack. The movie was really long. After that, at around 4 am we turned off the lights and crawl under the covers. Since we can't sleep yet, we talked about the people from primary in our secondary school's. We finished at about 5 am. I turned on my phone and we fell asleep to the sound of music.

The next day, I woke up at about 9 am and took a picture of Clara sleeping soundly. Do you know she occupies only half of the bed's length? Now you know. Sadly she deleted the picture. CLARA! :( Ate instant noodles and leftover Subway sandwiches for breakfast. Later we watched Thor on tv then packed our bags. Waiting for noon to come, we went to the playground but was occupied by little kids so we walked around the parking lot of the hotel.

After taking pictures of the view, we headed back to the hotel and took a short nap before leaving Bukit Tinggi. After our nap, we packed our things into the car and drive back to KL. I really don't want to leave. The air there is so cool and the scenery is so pretty and there is Clara! I want to repeat Sunday night over and over again in my head. Our next trip shall be Berjaya KL! Hopefully mummy let me shopping. Mummy, can Clara follow me back to Penang please? I don't think so. I sleep on the floor. Where is she going to sleep? o.o

I think i am going to end my post here now, I, in future, will rent an apartment so that Clara and I can live together. Clara so cute :3

Yay for Nail Art!
