The Strikeforce.
for those of you who have absolutely what/who the strikeforce is, click on the link that says "strikeforce". anyway, it's a percussion group which makes use of creativity and technology, creating amazing sequences.
i'm happy to say, i'm part of strikeforce! (:
so anyway, have been inside for a few months. i think about 4 months... yup. and i have to say, i've learnt alot. from a person of zero drumming experience to a person who can at least play some beats. hahahaha.
so anyway, side note. i hope to play fhw soon! hahahaha. (it's a sequence btw)
well, enough said, strikeforce is awesome drumming, awesome people, serving a really awesome God. (:
goodbye.

Rants.
tell me again why i need to go to school.. ARGH. so irritating. i'd rather go for Asia Conference than school anyday. (DUH, i actually LEARN at Asia Conference). yeah. the teacher decided to postpone the test. i mean, can you really do that? no doubt you teach us for more than 1 subject. but shouldn't you stick to the allocated time for that particular subject?
giving the weak excuse of "oh you aren't prepared enough" just doesn't cut it. to me, that translates as "oh shit, i haven't taught you this and it's gonna come out... lets look for more time"... and because of this, my planning of my schedule has gone haywire.
so i question, should i just forgo the 5% and go for Asia Conference, should i run (literally) out of the class after taking the test? or should i be a good student (omg rite.) yeah.... what a tough decision. and to think school really doesn't benefit me in the first place. they take 5 days to cover something i can learn by myself in 5 mins. WASTE OF TIME.
LOL. i bet i could finish poly education in 1 year if they let me. i bet they're just out to get more money from me. that's how society functions nowadays anyway. LOL.
goodbye.

Rants of a girl who's "too small".
so for everyone's benefit, here's a picture of the very average sized me! its updated okay! just took it last week.
to many people, i'm small. some say skinny, some say slim. whatever. and i'm pretty short too. so what's wrong with all this? no, it's not a health problem. it's a "i can't find clothes" kinda problem.
now if you know me, you'd probably realise that i'm almost always in jeans and a tshirt. casual as always. this however, isn't always my choice. you see, i can't fit into alot of clothes! for example, cotton on's smallest size is still big for me. and when clothes DO fit, they're too long cos of my amazing shortness.
so what to do? just take tshirt n jeans lor. hahaha. quite sad. i was looking at some really pretty dresses (yes, i do wear dresses) hahaha. but... they're all too long :( how lidat?!
i really pity my dad. hahaha. he has to shop with me and my aunt. who both have well, problems with clothes. we're both short. and i'm really small, so i can't fit into clothes cos they're too big. and my aunt is rather big, so she can't fit into clothes cos they're too small. and my dad actually has to walk around the girl's department for a couple of hours trying to find nice clothes that fit the both of us. i feel sorry for him!
hahahahaha. we need the odd sizes store. hahaha.
well, today was an interesting day. had fun at parliament. took pictures. hahahaha. all with des! will blog about it soon!
so lesson of the day: don't be too short, too skinny, too fat, too tall. be average sized. but den again, who defines what's average?! hahahaha that's another topic altogether!
goodbye!

Chocolate Chip Cookies.
yes, it's the irresistable triple C that has mouths watering just at the mention of it. Chocolate Chip Cookies. recently, i've been eating ALOT of chocolate chip cookies. so, i'm here to do an analysis of the different brands of choc chip cookies.
first up, danone's CHIPS MORE.
the yellow packaging, filled with cookies. i find these cookies more like biscuits, but they taste nice anyway. they're kinda like the choc chip cookies you'd find in biscuit assortments. chocolate flavoured biscuits with chocolate chips. very rich in chocolate flavour, and quite irresistable. they come in many flavours, butter, hazelnut, double choc, so you can take your pick!
overall rating, 3/5.
next up, kraft's CHIPS AHOY.
this comes in a blue packaging, and are available both in big and bite size options. they taste very much like cookies, with yummy chocolate chips that are semi-molten. the cookies are crisp yet soft. a buttery cookie loaded on with chocolate chips, for a well-balanced mix. and they look really good too, not perfect round shaped, but shaped like you'd find if you baked cookies.
overall rating, 4/5.
next up, mcvities's BOASTERS.
this comes in a maroonish packaging. the taste of this cookie is very light, and has a little bit of the digestive biscuit taste, but it's not overwhelming. it gives the very marks and spencer feel, where the products are usually light tasting but delicious. the chocolate chips are moist and molten, melting in your mouth. delicious indeed! they look really appetising, and could pass off as baked cookies!
overall rating, 4.5/5.
last but definitely not least, FAMOUS AMOS.
this freshly baked cookies are no stranger to all. the very yummy cookies with awesome smells need no introduction at all. the cookies melt in your mouth and have the feel of being disjointed. like they're formed with little bits that fall apart when you sink your teeth in. definitely very yummy! my personal favourite, the no nut choc chip.
overall rating, 5/5.
so that's it for chocolate chip cookies! go get yours today! they're yummy, tasty and fun to eat!
goodbye!

Friendship.
despite everything that i've gone through, i realise my friends are always there. no matter how many mistakes i've made, they accept me. and yes, i know that i don't really open up to my friends that much but i still love them to bits!
friends literally form my entire life now. of course, besides God and my family. and to all my friends, i may not share everything with you, but sometimes it's just me. i used to keep EVERYTHING to myself. now, i let out quite abit.
i just want to say, i love my friends. alot.
true friends are hard to come by.
goodbye (:

Dependency.
As i type this post, i’m here using Microsoft Word simply because my internet modem suddenly decided to bail on me. And it’s here and now that i realise how incredibly reliant i am on that small grey box.
Without it, i have no connection whatsoever with the outside world. Of course, that’s with the exception of my hp, which also fetches high bills. So here i am waiting for it to work. And even as i pen down this line, it works now! (:
It’s now that i realise how machines have changed the way we live. And how even while waiting i found writing this post somewhat comforting.
So enough about the lil modem of mine which is fine now (:
On to something more controversial?
Well, i’m a person who’s involved in alot of activities. And i feel that your involvement and commitment in a certain activity will determine how far you go with it. However, this is not always the case, which leaves me rather confused.
I always thought commitment+hardwork+skills=success, no?
It doesn’t seem so nowadays. And i find myself wishing i was back in secondary school, gracing the waters of macritchie reservoir in a k2, or k1, paddling in absolute bliss. Ahhh those were the days. The days that i actually felt needed somewhere. That i actually felt wanted.
All that changed and it won’t ever come back. I guess, it’s just the cycle of life. So, i’m gonna create my own future. I don’t know how. But i will.
goodbye.

Sitophobia.
sitophobia. the fear of eating.
i'm scared to eat. almost all the time. simply because everytime i eat, i get sick. extreme discomfort.. though i've learnt to live with it and pretend everything is fine and dandy, it's not. my stomach protests everytime i eat. and i don't even know why..
i don't like this feeling so much that i'd rather not eat at all. or i'll eat very little so i won't get sick. so far, medicines don't help. water doesn't either. it literally feels like the food gets stuck in my gullet or something. swallowing becomes difficult, even water.
and i don't eat alot of different foods because they make me very uncomfortable. an example is rice. everytime i eat rice, i get sick. even to the extent of turning pale. i don't get it.. i had an injection for this discomfort before, but not only did it not help, i ended up fainting. so i guess i shouldn't get that injection anymore.
so the next time i don't eat, or eat very little, please. don't force me to eat more. i'm not trying to lose weight, i'm just trying to make sure i don't feel uncomfortable, like i do now.
goodbye.
