Me: Knock knock!
Yew Wing: Who’s there?
Me: You know.
Yew Wing: You know who?
Me: YES! AVADA KEDAVRA!

*silence*

Yew Wing: Why do students bring ladders to school?
Me: Why?
Yew Wing: Cause it’s high school.
Me: Hehe.

Me: What does mozart do when he dies?
Yew Wing: He grows huge hips?
Me: No, he decomposes! :)

Yew Wing: What do you get when you cross a Punjab and lame jokes?
Me: …...Shivani.
Yew Wing: Wah, so smart.

I love Malaysia for our history, our culture and our heritage.
(: Not so much for the idiots who run it.

Me: Happy Merdeka mom!
Mom: What Independence DO we have in this country?

She has a point, really. Let’s hope things will change. But nevertheless,
Happy Merdeka (:

Morning lovelies :)

Well, updates.

Friday.
Instead of going to school, I allowed myself to sleep in and skip a day of nonsensical nonsense. The moment I woke up, I grabbed my Breaking Dawn book and read it for hours. I’m not going to tell you how amazing it is, cause Li Ling said if I continued with my Twilight craze on my blog, my readers will decrease. I checked my statistics, she’s right :p

Then at night, I went for add math tuition. (: Bought more pringles. Sara and I tried hiding it from Keiran. His nose is incredible. He turns behind and gives that breathtakingSMILE >.< and says “I want some!” He stole all the perfect pringles. Butthead.

Saturday.
I woke up at 8am instead of sleeping in ): Carrie picked me up and we went to CHS for their install. It was my first time in CHS compound in 10 years. It’s pretty-looking, undeniable. But Assunta is gorgeous :) The install was very well organized (kudos to the club service director and well, Vijay) (:

After that, we went back to our school for the art competition with the kids from the orphanage. It was pretty fun, really. Too bad I had to leave early.

Sunday.
woke up, and decided to blog (:

Haha, oh. I was talking to Sam last night.
Sam: Denise won the Avril wannabe thing!
Me: Oh? Haha. Awesome!
Sam: *mumbles*
Me: Haha, Denise always wins these kinda things la.
Sam: Come to think about it, she was doing some Disney ad. when I first met her.
Me: Yeeeeah. And she’s in Penang now shooting some movie.
Sam: Media magnet.
Me: Yeah.

Anyways, congratulations to Denise who is RM3000 richer, owner of a gorgeous Fender Telecaster and 2 tickets for Avrils concert which she had to give to her sister.

When you come back to school, you’ll have your addmath book dearie :P


Oh, and honestly I’m amused cause this was an AVRIL concert thing and her older sisters name is also AVRIL.
Yes, yes, easily amused :p

Taa loves.
xoxo.

You’d think Robert Pattinson wasn’t already goodlooking enough as Cedric Diggory. Now he’s Edward. How can the industry expect girls like me to actually BREATHE during the movie?

xoxo.

Dazzle me.

Have you ever wondered how it feels to have 8 free periods in one day?
It is amazing, I tell you :)

I guess I have to thank our wonderful minister of education who employ such excellent teachers. Good job, dude. 8 free periods. Excluding recess. Reshmin studied the whole way through. Me? Finished some physics homework. Studied some biology. And of course…
Indulged myself in reading New Moon.
*sighs* I love Edward Cullen.
:(
You have no idea how I wish he would pop out of my book (Zahras book) and meet the vamp in person. Laurens falling in love with my old Wicca series. 4 Science 2. Lovers of witches, vampires and werewolves too :) Which got Resh and I thinking (during our only lesson of the day, biology).

Do you believe in them?

Seriously. Think about it. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. I think every creature on this earth, including humans are born with dark and light. We’re usually good. Edward is a good vampire. He doesn’t kill and hunt humans. He resorts to animals and he controls himself. In Wicca, Morgan and Hunter practice a beautiful form of magick.

But obviously, there are those who choose evil.
And in the end, we shrug it off and make ourselves believe it’s not true, it doesn’t exist.
I think that’s just what we want ourselves to think. Life would be so much more easier without the fear of getting hexed by a witch or bitten by a vampire. So we classify them as grim fairytales (if you must).

Of course, we would never know for sure. And even if we did stumble upon a totally different reality, who would believe us anyway right?

I guess I love it enough to believe in it’s existence.

:)

Anyways, Nick turned 16 and Chyis leaving for England.
Sorta like a happy and sad occasion. But a very fun one I must say :)

I met LiLing and Sandra at LiLings place. Cupcake is so cute (: I love that dog. Gorgeous little creature. We left for KLpac around 7-something hoping the watergun-playing was over. Obviously, as Murphy’s law is defined; Shivani MUST be miserable.

We arrived exactly when everyone was getting wet.
What joy.

It was hilarious, the none-GIS-going people. Sandra came in her ILoveKL shirt and felt underdressed. LiLing looked like a carpenter. I looked pretty decent, but didn’t wear flipflops nor did I bring an extra change of clothes. Carrie looked….like Carrie :) And gorgeous Tsen came in a dress.

So Tsen had to borrow one of her cousins clothes,
she’s so pretty I tell you.
Don’t you agree? :)

Nick: *looks at liling* you look lovely!
Me: *chuckles*
Nick: But then, what do I know about fashion right? (in his annoying almost brit tone) :)
Me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Lalz: =.=”

Haiih. I love Nick (:

Anyways, the games were actually fun. We were separated teams most of the time. It was Chyi’s turn to pick between Tsen and Lalz.

Carrie: Pick Tsen! She’s tougher!

Haha, but we still had a good time.
I ended up bringing my camera into the battlefield.
The moment Sandra saw me, all of us girls grabbed our waterguns and did some posing ;]

Of course, we had to go mafia on the men in action (:

Eventually, we ran out of normal water. However, we still had the metal-ice-box-thingy. Eng, being Eng, did what Eng would usually do.

Filling up the bucket with icecold water, causing a majority of us falling sick after the party ):

Anyways, much to my delight, I met my better half :P Her name is Sue-shen!
SHE’S SO FUNNY.
She loves HelloKitty and Barbie.
Just like meeeeeeeeeeeeeee. *melts*

Just cause I met Sue-shen doesn’t mean I’ll forget you Sandra (:

After that, I went to temple. It was good.
Ritesh: *sits down*
Me: AND EVEN WHEN YOU SIT DOWN TO TALK TO ME, YOU STILL HAVE TO LOOK DOWN TO ME!
I hate tall people :(
Reached home at 2am. 4 hours later, my August break was over, and I had to get ready for school :(
Time to finish up homework.
About the magick thing?
Think about it :)
Taa loves.
xoxo.

I’m a little drained out.
You see, I’ve got the Edward Cullen fever.
And I am head over heels in love with that vampire.
So allow me to indulge myself in the twilight zone.
I promise I’ll blog soon :)
Expect pictures!
Of Sue-Shen, especially =p
xoxo.

muirn beatha dan.

in gaelic, it means “heart of my heart”
in a more 21st century tone, it means your soulmate.
hmm..

I woke up at 10.00am especially for Xin Yan. I can’t remember, but I think my little cousin came in around 7-something looking for her shirt. Plain white tee with angels on it. Maybe I was dreaming? Maybe not. I hate it when that happens. Sometimes, I have dreams of packing my bag. Then in school I’m clueless on how to explain why I have all the wrong textbooks. Which is why I’ve started to pack my bag, before I fall under the sandman’s spell.

I decided on wearing my grey Roxy three-quarters and a Target graphic tee. A pretty velvet-purple Audrey Hephburn tee.

Xin Yan’s mom came around 11.30ish. Met Milly, Nadia and Su Shen (of TeeseMe) at Secret Recipe. Nadia ate Kiddie Burgers. Selene says “Wanna hear a long joke?” “Sure!” “Jooooooooooooooooooooookeeeeeeee” I laugh my ears off (:

Su Shen has one of those big, black, cameras. I told her I had a camera that was cooler than hers. Everyone objected of course, thinking I was talking about my ELPH. Then I showed her my thumbelina sized pink pretty picture-taking device (:

Good things come in small sizes.

Then we rushed to go to the bowling alley realizing we were almost late. Xin Yan and I split. I went with Josie and Su Shen to Starbucks. There, we talked about a little miss you know who. “I heard she likes talking bad about people for no reason” “Yeah..” Hmm, I wonder who.

Once I reached the bowling alley, I saw Keith Badboy Pinto. I swear, he was wearing a black shirt. He hugged me *die**melts**die*. Five minutes later, I see him again but this time in a blue shirt. I blink, and again. Oh wells. Short term memory loss, perhaps?

My bowling team consisted of Dennis, Warren, Chavi, Li Ling and myself. Dennis, did not show up. ): So he was replaced with this guy from CHS (who ended up getting strikes all the way) but I can’t seem to remember his name…nice guy though (:

It was considerably fun. I felt really sick-ish for a while though. But then talking to Nadia and Millie and staring at a Mr You Know Who definitely made things better ;)

Anyways, the Japanese people :) I honestly only remember one persons name. His name is Noah. Almost 18. He’s actually Korean, but he lives in Japan. His English is actually really really good. He doesn’t carry that dictionary thingy like Kasumi did.

His slang is so, very sexy.
Carrie and I literally, DIED.

Yeah, I’m aware that he’s wearing a weird hat, weird glasses and a man-tanktop. But if you sound that sexy, I wouldn’t mind even if you wore some fluffy prom dress gone wrong (:

This is a lame attempt of Carrie and I trying to fit in.

Notice only how Carrie and I are the ones flashing the peace sign?
Not all Japanese people are lala, you see.

Okay, except her (:

Notice the Audrey Hephburn Target Tee?! :)

In the midst of all the bowling, blue lights, and techno music. Serena B popped out of nowhere and glomping me from the back. I miss hugging my Serena. Thank God I was holding the camera in my hand at that moment ^^

Not a very flattering picture, but our first in a very-long-time. I miss her.

After a long tiring day of bowling, we finally went to McDonalds where I finally enjoyed my McChicken, french fries and coke :) Straight to the thighs, baby. Then Li Ling and I went back to her place for our little “Bollywood Night”. We ended up watching Kabhi Kushu Kabhi Gham. It’s probably one of my all-time favorite Hindi movies. Lalz and I had such an awesome time watching it.
Laughing.
Crying.
More laughing.
Her screaming “Shiv your BUM is blocking my view!”
Haha, I love her.
Taa loves.
xoxo.

Worth reading word for word =.=

When you want to improve a country, you have to do so in ALL imaginable aspects. Including MUSIC. When we compare Singapore to Malaysia, it’s safe to say Malaysia is more rich in culture and that’s what we’re proud of.

But Singapore celebrates the SAME festivals and has the same cultures, just not in a greater scale. Yet they are extremely developed and foreign countries pick Singapore over Malaysia in a SNAP.

When I was in US, someone asked me where I was from.
“Malaysia”
“Where’s that? O.O”
“It’s below Thailand?”
“Dude, no, that’s Singapore!”

WE ARE LITERALLY INVISIBLE ON THE MAP OF THE WORLD BECAUSE WE’RE NOT AS DEVELOPED AS WE HOPED TO BE.

Mahathir came up with Wawasan 2020. No way in living hell can we ever achieve that if we still have Islamists in our country. I understand that they don’t want the artists to influence us with their “bad behaviour” or “bad dressing”. I’m NOT going to counter attack that by saying “Look at the Muslim girls who come half naked to the concerts, what about THEM?”. Instead I’m going to AGREE.

I AGREE that artists should be decently dressed. No, I’m not some extremist my dears. I just think that’s what our country has always been brought on upon. We’ve grown on all these “budaya timur”. Why give in completely to “budaya barat” ? PLUS. YOU THINK THE GOVERNMENT WILL EVER ALLOW PCD JUMPING AROUND IN THEIR BIKINIS AGAIN?

I think NOT.

If you can’t break the rules, BEND THEM.

The government PARADES and goes ON AND ON, and even in SCHOOL we’re told to vacation in our country.
“Visit Malaysia”
“Cuti-cuti Malaysia”
MY ASS LA, THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN
.

No one will be CUTI-CUTI MALAYSIA-ING. Instead, everyone will get their bums to SINGAPORE where concerts are APPROVED and major world-class musical festivals always go on.

Is that what the government wants?

Us, music-freaks to get plane tickets and run off to Singapore every time there’s some awesome concert? Tell me, how does that affect your CUTI-CUTI MALAYSIA plans, huh?

Now, obviously you’re all aware I’m talking about Avril Lavignes Supposed-To-Happen-But-Cancelled Concert.

I’m not the ONLY person who’s talking about it :)
Kimberly Tong is.
Sandra Tan is.
OH, LOOKIE, PEREZ HILTON IS TOO T_T

I think that’s possibly the first time Malaysia has ever been mentioned on his famousawesomeblog. Here’s the article;

Yesterday, we mentioned how the Malaysia’s Islamists wanted Avril Lavigne’s concert cancelled.

Who can blame them???

Apparently April’s moves on stage were considered “too sexy.” Haha!

In Malaysia, they require all performers to wear clothes without obscene or drug-related images. They also need to be covered from chest to knees and need to refrain from shouting, jumping, hugging and kissing on stage.

Well, yesterday Malaysia ended up canceling Lavigne’s tour, saying it was appropriate, especially with their independence day celebrations soon approaching just two days after the show.

The Arts, Culture and Heritage Ministry stated it decided April’s show was not suitable for Malaysian culture.

A rep from the ministry says, “It is not timely. It’s not in the good spirit of our National Day. If we go ahead with the concert, it is contrary to what we are preparing for.”

An official from the youth wing of the fundamentalist opposition party, the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party, said “We don’t want our people, our teenagers, influenced by their performance. We want clean artists, artists that are good role models.”

Good luck ever thinking Lavigne is a good role model!

Honestly, after every Perez Hilton fan read that, the only thought that came into their heads was “Malaysia sucks”.
We’re portraying SUCH a bad image of ourselves to the world!

YOU DON’T BELIEVE ME?
HERE ARE SOME OF THAT ARTICLES COMMENTS
.

feelthepressure says: Even though I don’t like Avril, what’s a concert without shouting or jumping? That’s bullshit. Then I wonder who’s even allowed to play in Malaysia.

hyde30 says: I actually don’t care for Avril, but this is such crap. Who knew Malaysia was a bunch of buttoned-up grannies?

velvet rope says: Again, Who would want to perform in Malaysia?
No wonder why they’re so stuck.

MHE says: Malaysia goverment is just pathetic and ridiculous!

There are more of course, but I choose NOT to use so much of foul language on my blog :)

Do you not get my point? Although these are not WORLD LEADERS writing these articles and comments, they are still people who carry opinion and thought. And I’m sure it’s the PEOPLE who will mostly want to come and visit our country, not the eversobusy world leaders.

Don’t tell me our tourism sector is fully supported by Prime Ministers and Kings? BLEHHSS.

Anyways, I can go on and on about this. But a good debater knows her limits! I’ve brought my points and made my case.
I’m sure Laura will be proud of me :)
