Friends' reunion.

Sorry for abandoning here for quite some time.
It's like I have quite a number of happenings going on for the week, especially Wednesdays.

First, let me explain; why Wednesdays?
1. The Blues' house practice day.
2. Mid-week? *This is lame.*
3. It's meant for Trio, perhaps.
4. Results' release falls on that particular day.

Let me bring you back to March 21.
This was the day, when everyone was so eager to see their friends, thus causing a massive traffic jam in Penang.
Or should I say, cars were not even moving on the road?
Imagine how terrible it was.
Thank God, mum decided to take a day off and be my driver.

*I'll skip the parts regarding results, cause it's not as well as expected like, for most of us. Duh.*
At least I got to meet my girl. =)

Thank you for showing up. Glad to have you to cheer me up, at least.
Sorry though, for having to leave you in school.
More outings next time?

Next up, Carrol followed our car, then we departed to Gurney to meet Crystal and June.
It's camwhoring and arcade!
Thanks mummy for sponsoring the tokens. I bet they had loads of fun.
*Note: These are just group photos. All BTS are in our respective albums so click if only you gained permission by adding us on Facebook.*

I, am creating a new meme. XD

Toilet pic #2. Peace!

Next up, on Saturday and Sunday.
I wasn't at home, if you were trying to find me out. >.<
Out and about to camp after 3 months.
This one though, was special.
第2届北马约锭团康突破营 a.k.a 2nd Northern Region Dynamic Dance Camp.
Let me guide you through on the 2-day activities.
Day 1, most of our time were used to learn dynamic dance of some songs that we're performing in 1st Avenue on Sunday. It's sort of a flash mob.
You'll know if you were there shopping, met me or saw a big group of people wearing red.
10-star difficulty about day 1 - 100+ campers with only 3 shower rooms. DIE.
Committee members made their alarm 7:30am for us, but I insisted to put mine at 5 to avoid the queue.
7-star difficulty - Sleeping with your own sleeping bag, on tiled floor, provided there's fan and air-con.
Whatever. I have no problem for this.
It's only 1 night and people brought almost everything from their house. Their pillows, toys, bolsters. DUH.
I had my towel as my pillow dudes!

So here's what happened for day 2.
12:00AM - Preparing to sleep, but people's phones kept flashing bright lights. (I don't know who had that many people to text, but never mind.)
1-ish - My sensitivity towards voice woke me up. Randomly few weren't asleep, and commandant was patrolling. When I looked outside, a few committee members were there to prevent any campers from running away. =O
2-ish - The girl who slept on my right turned over, and eventually pressed on my sleeping bag. Dang, I don't have to sleep any more.
3-ish - Did someone accidentally switched on the lights? I woke up again.
4-ish - This was the bomb. Someone (who slept less than a metre away from me)'s phone rang, and the ringtone is no other than T-ara's Roly Poly. It was so loud that it woke quite a number of campers up. The phone not only rang once, but twice. OH GOODNESS. Totally restless for me.
Slightly before 5:00AM - Guess it's time for me to wake up and head to shower. I don't care if the water is cold, there wasn't any heater here. Thank God, the pipe water was warm.

As I finished shower, I sat on my sleeping bag to tidy up some items of my luggage.
Around 6-ish, yes, the committee members finally did something right - wake everyone up to shower.
The alarm was played through the super loud audio system (which was just right above me). Guess what?

Fantastic Baby by BIGBANG.

It was fun to see everyone's shocking face as they heard the song. XD
*successkid.jpg* Haha!

Let us go directly to what happened in 1st Avenue.
Upon arrival, we were given a paper containing 8 different picture.
Yes, if you get it. RUNNING MAN!
We'd have to search for those pictures all around the mall, from lower ground concourse to 8th floor!
*Thank God for the elevators!*
I'll get the photos if someone did snap it in their phone.
Some photos were very ridiculous I can honestly say.
A photo including shooting the background of it? NO WAY, but it happened. >.<
After Round 1 (yes there's rounds 2 and 3), each group was divided into 2 sub-groups for round 2 mission.
Sub-group 1, formed by 6 members of the group. Mission, head to arcade for basketball game with a total of 500.
*Yes, I was in this sub-group! So excited!*
Sub-group 2, formed by the rest of the members. Mission, head to Carrefour to purchase a total of 8 items, including junk food, daily products and stationery for the exact amount of RM19.90, cannot be more or less. Budget = RM20.
The successkid.jpg moment when 507 points were achieved by only 4 people. =D
As we thought they'd take longer time shopping, we planned to wait after we finished our mission but the timing was just perfect and they reached the concourse too. Group 8 DAEBAK!

Round 3, another 8 photos to spot the exact location.
This time around, marks were allocated for each photo, so it's up to us for which one we're gonna go for.
Oh about one friggin 500 points! It's a photo of a beige-colour thingy, with some fur on the left side of the photo.
As we walked, then finally decided to run, we stopped at a sports billboard.
They thought that billboard was meant for another photo, until they looked up to the centre part...
TADA! Photo spotted! Guess what?
The given photo was the athlete's knee! Oh cheeky them who took that photo for us to find! >.<
Thank God however, our groupmates have very sharp eyes. =D
After all running and chasing for clues, flash mob time! X)
*Leave some spaces of imagination for yourself.*

Finally, we always save the best for the last.

Trio outing!

It just happened yesterday.
In the end, I drove as far as 75.5km total after I refilled petrol.
REAL-RY?!
A summary of places I drove to, from my house.
e-Gate > School via Green Lane > Straits Quay > Island Plaza > Precinct 10 > Gurney Drive > Gurney Plaza > Gurney Drive > School > Pulau Tikus Post Office > School > Midlands 1-Stop > Gurney Drive > Northam Tower > Gurney Drive > Home via coastal highway.
Shitty traffic, sigh.
Nevertheless, there's always pictures and memories to cheer me up. =D

I love myself with my sunglasses. =D

Childhood days...

I want to go back to the childhood days, when a packet of candies are enough to make me happy for the whole day.
I want to go back to the childhood days, when saying sorry is a very difficult task to perform, not just a word.
I want to go back to the childhood days, when marbles, crayons and sand are my companions.
I want to go back to the childhood days, when falling down from a bicycle is the biggest wound I can ever get.

When will I ever, ever, go back?


-aLiCe_RawkXZ-

Intense.

It's tomorrow.
Back to the intense training after hurting my muscles last week.
Thank God, at least my legs are a lot better now, no more aching.

Though, I have missions tomorrow.
Guide the juniors through their grading syllabus.
Yes, you heard me, and I guess it's time.
They've been training so hard to prove themselves and bring themselves up to another level.
Perhaps, I should lend them a helping hand as a (super old) senior.

Um, instructors.
Not too harsh training tomorrow, please?
I still have to drive.

-aLiCe_RawkXZ-

Music on the go.

Being a person who knows basic guitar chords, it's awesome.
At least get to play some favourite songs. =)

Life?

Just had a superb long conversation with daddy around an hour ago.
Even at the age of 50, he'd definitely gone through a lot in life.
In the family, he cared every member more than we cared about him.
As an immature 18 years old girl, I really must reflect and repent.

My dad. For the 18 years with him, he cares for me all the time.
We can be as close as a couple, yet sometimes he can be as strict as a discipline teacher.
For every plan I make, he never fails to fulfill me.
Perhaps, that's the reason I'm that arrogant, proud and rebellious outside.

We were discussing about furthering my tertiary education.
"If you're to go to other places (out of Penang) to study, I don't think I'll be less burdened," daddy expressed.
*I think I'll have serious homesick. I depend on my dad a lot, and he knows it very well.*
Talking about going to Form 6 back in PCGHS.
He was concerned about the parking spaces if I drive to study.
"Now the road has widen," he said, "And the school doesn't allow you girls to park inside right? Actually if they allow you all to park inside, I won't be that worry for you to drive there, but now, if you have to park somewhere else, though it's safe for your car, what about your own safety then? Who knows some group of people will target on you then plan to do something to you? And then, going back to Form 6, by then you'll be matured by 2 years, knowing what you want to do next, at least you don't have to be stuck in the middle of misery," then talked about my brother's and cousins' cases.

Speaking about friends, he told me about himself and his friends.
My godfather (whom appears to be like my second father) was my dad's colleague many years back.
Till now, they even keep contact with each other, knowing at least, how are each other doing.
He also mentioned his secondary schoolmates who till now still keep contact with him.
"Secondary schoolmates are the ones whom will be the closest with you," daddy said. "In the future, when you're out in the society to work, you will definitely meet some of them, working as a boss, a doctor or so. There's a different feeling when you meet someone you know outside. For example, if your friend is a doctor, you might as well greet the person 'Hey doctor, aren't you that whoever from my secondary school?' or 'Hey I remember you!'. Make more friends, don't stick to just one area. Maybe you have no friends (as my dad thinks I might be an arrogant person in school), I don't know, but try not to just stick to the same group of friends, socialise with the others too. Let's say you're in Taekwondo (yes he knows I'm a Taekwondoist), you can also join other friends from other societies. I know some of your schoolmates have already gone to overseas for study, you can keep in touch with them, as simple as greeting them 'How are you?' or ask them about their life, just go ahead and socialise more. I don't mind you continuing Taekwondo in your Form 6. (Thank you daddy!)"

Comments about my driving as well.
I know all this while I have not been an excellent driver, but at least he lets me drive to near places alone.
"Sometimes it's not I don't wanna let you drive alone," dad said, with slight worries in his speech, "You have to let us know where you'll be going, then let us judge if it's safe for you to drive there alone. Some places because of the traffic, to be frank I'm also sick with the heavy traffic, not only you, I drive until I feel bored and tired. I know last time you're not happy for I don't let you drive alone, cause I don't feel you steady to go alone yet, you see at least now you can handle better, so I allow you to do so."
Dad is a super big fan of cars, as well as his own cars.
He washes his cars and vacuums the interior every week without miss.
However, he's far more concerned about our safety than his car's looks.
I can still remember December 2010, when my brother had an accident while driving in a rainy day. The car was quite badly damaged, but once my parents got the news, they immediately drove another car down to check out his condition.
We're not born wealthy, although dad always says he doesn't mind spending to get our car done, he's very worried about the money flow at home. That made me feel very bad for not helping out in this part.

Well, the most sensitive topic of all, relationship.
He didn't know I had one. *Sorry daddy.*
"To be frank, I don't like you both (my brother and I) to be in a relationship at this age," he confessed. "How old are you? You see, I'm 50 (I had sudden heartache when he said that), your grandfather is 70 something, you're not even 20, do what a teenager has to do, study what you have to study. Why make yourself tied to another person when life has such a long way to go? Let's say you have a boyfriend, later you're restricted to go to places with other guys' existence just because of his words, and being so obedient this way doesn't benefit you any ways. Slowly, when you enter the society, perhaps when you come out to work, slowly aim for one who'll suit you best. I get married at the age of 26, so there's actually nothing to rush for. Maybe you have set your goal, with a salary of RM3000 a month, you're satisfied with it, and decided to be a mum, that's up to you, I don't know. (Well daddy, I want to get angpows a few more years before it's my turn to give.) I hope you consider well, alright?"

If you were sitting down with me to listen our conversation, what he said was far more than these. Tried my best to cut it short, but seems like his words were so powerful and meaningful I have to write them down.

As a conclusion, you really have to rank properly between these 4 things:
Family, studies/career, friends and relationship.
*We exclude wealth, let's say the money you have in hand is sufficient to sustain life till you're old.*
There's a reason for the rank to be in this way.

1st place, family.
Let's emphasise family on parents here.Without your family, you won't even be exist. Without your family, you couldn't have gotten this far in life. They are the closest to you in life, giving you the best shelter, good food, 100% love and care. Some people may not understand the purpose of their decision sometimes, but think again, they do so for your own good. They spent all their precious time, money and energy to raise you, they gain absolutely nothing but age. When the whole world is against you, always remember that family is the biggest support you can have. They play many roles in your life: teacher, chef, plumber, mechanic, doctor, friends, etc. When you face any problems, turn to them and they can be your counsellor the next moment, guiding you what to do. If you merely treat them as strangers at home, no communications, no interactions, you don't deserve to be in the house.

2nd place, studies/career.
Before you know how to be independent, you'll have to go through studies. Not only textbook-based knowledge, but also life experiences by exploring the outside world. Sometimes what you learn from the books cannot be applied into daily life, therefore you have to go through some challenges and obstacles before you can gain success. With sufficient level of education, you can only pursue your career, thus securing you a better life in the future, be it a(n) designer, doctor, singer, lawyer, engineer, artist, technician.

3rd place, friends.
They are one of the factors for you to continue living colourfully. You can always consult a friend when you face any problems in life. Beware however, some friends might lead you to the wrong pathway, therefore be wise enough before ensuring that a person is a good friend to make.

4th place, relationship.
If you really think you should put this in front of the top 3, sorry but you're just a person who's not respectful to family, not focusing on studies/career and not kind enough to friends. For me, relationship is just what comes after you're firm with everything above. Once you make up your mind to hunt for it, there's no turning back. You might get hurt, but if you cannot heal from that, you'll fail your life for being pathetic all day long, trust me.

Life goes on. Stop crying, keep moving.

Emo.

Silence is a girl's loudest cry.

I wondered how many people actually understand the meaning inside this quote.

In fact, girls think a lot, but not the complicated way.
They just want things to be perfect and smooth.
Sometimes guys might say girls are unreasonable in certain areas, but think again.
Why are they that way?

If you've been in a relationship, you know the most important things.
Commitment, honesty and trust.
Yes, you can love each other so deeply that no one can divide you both apart.
However, you cannot predict what comes next.
People might not trust you 100%, even the one you loved, so be prepared to be hurt by a backstabber.
He thought I don't know, but sorry.
I copied the whole conversation between him and his cousin, then posted in my secret territory.
Victim - me, the conversation states the obvious, although I tried not to admit that he's talking about me.
Whatever, since I'm already back to my single life and recovered.
Don't ask me who that person is.

Previously I was dumb enough to think too much.
Wetting my pillow during my bedtime because of him.
Insomnia just because I want to talk to him longer in the night.
Stupid, when I think back how naive I was.

To all the females out there,

If a relationship is over, it's over. If it can be rescued, it won't be over.

And,

Sometimes people are meant to be selfish. Love yourself.

Finally,

Stay strong no matter any circumstances. Stand up from where you fall and prove to the people that you can overcome the problem.

The warrior,
