~Otsukare~

Very very very tired larrr...Lots of stuff had happed that's why..Not to say its all bad..Let me start of with yesterday's happening..Funny because I've onlined yesterday but just can't find the time to blog,busy chatting online and on the phone I guess.It was THE DAY..the speech contest day,after how many weeks of mental torture,the day finally arrived..Yeah,I used to switch on the "ignorance is bliss" button,where until the school reopen did I start going through my speech for the upteenth time.Actually I've memorised it a few times,but of course there was misses and glitches here and there..Never have I put in so much time in memorising..

Anyway,the whole week was a life disaster,for I touched no books,though it was school day,when I was in the hostel..Only had my usual fix of Korean Drama.Reason,school just started man...But hell,was I wrong..2nd day of school,I saw Chiang Shen burying himself in Physics,Xin Ning flipping through Jap,early in the morning..Lunch,Teck Soon was reading Jap too,while eating lunch..me?Ha,yeah I'm reading also,newspaper that is.^ ^"

Oh well,I gave myself more excuses..Seemed to be doing a lot of this lately,really got to control or else,I'll never go"in front" instead,""pushed back by the flow of the river"(chinese proverb),namely,escaping into the cocoon of ignorance..That I have a speech to memorise,so focus on speech,give myself a break this week...Yeah right,I've not finish the "full House" also..die..Next week,another busy week,got dance for Bulan Kermerdekaan,have to stay back everyday except Monday,got moooncake Festival Party..blah..busy busy life

Yesterday,I had a bad night sleep (must be the kebab)and had been going through the speech for a millionth time until I can see the words in my dreams.Had a practise with MayChing before and I was really taken aback by how well May Ching did for her speech.Really really impressed til the max.Her speech contents were really smashing and powerful.Oh well,speech day arrived.REALLY BAD NIGHT sleep,woke up 3 times..Anyway,the first thing was Ayuni's morning greeting."Ohayo Ti.."she greeted me with a grim face"Ohayo..jnglar mcm muramje.."I replied..haha..Yeah,she was also one of the contestant of the terrfying yet highly anticipated Speech contest contestant.She was actually one of the best i've ever heard,and secretly,I believed I'll vote for her today no matter what..Yes,i believe in her that much..

First and second period went passed quickly,with me non stop bugging Aizat(my ex and also new seat-mate)about how nervous I was,while he smiled encouragingly..Aiyo,paiseh-lar,but damn,my palms was sweating as the lessons went on,and Ayuni and I have been non stop looking at each other,smile knowingly that the time is closer and closer etc..Walau,first time my stomach really felt so uncomfortable and cringed in nervousness.Too much lar,it was 2hours away..But Aizat got the time to tease me and reported,"ade setgh jam lagi..""ade 15 min lg ,Ti"at every passing moment..arrgghhh...Bet he was having a great time seeing me flitching every minute the teacher pause and rest..Well,it was 10am,20minutes before the speech started.I was already jumping here and there with Ayuni,chattering like excited bird non stop..I even went to the other class,see the rest so calm,I..WAAAAAAA....jumped even more...James said I siao but.."don't pretend you not nervous larr"I wanted and almost did shouted at him..at least I'm honest that I'm nervous,so did Ayuni,we just vent out the extra energy only mar..Finally,we went in the hall....

"tsugi wa Ti-san no Ichi Go Ichi E,onegaishimasu"Ok,blah blah blah blah....Done with the stage,over..FINALLY!!!!Yeah,I freaked out pretty much,but acted calm,but my cold hands really gave me away..Thank goodness Xin ning's hand was colder,she won't notice..Ok,I was done,and I was amazed how our brain really works,my hand instantly warmed up..Serious,our body really works wonders,every part of it is controlled by our emotions.Then,I can calmly listen to the rest of the speeches,cuz I was number 4(yeah,si..but it was my lucky number all my life)and I was pretty much sure that i won't get a prize so,listened and voted..AS I predicted,Ayuni performed splendidly,and Xin Ning and I both agreed that she spoke like a Japanese,but can see she doesn't want to win full-heartedly that's why it lacked a litle emotions.Xin Ning's one was good too,she was after me,and my,it was good!So was May Ching..all were good,except James with his "24" sign,Aimi forgot her speech,Shobri with his "MERDEKA" cheer stunt,and Zulkamal for his attire and "selamba" speech..I really salute Kim Shing for,though it was his first time on stage,he did marvellous..So,yes,I had a hard time voting..In the end,I voted for May Ching,Xin Ning,Ayuni and Hanim..

Before I go on with the results,let me "cut" in some programmes I had today.I woke up at 6am,got ready and walked to the bus station at 650am got on the bus at 710am reached KL sentral at 720am,thinking it was just nice to meet Xin Ning and Clement cuz they said they'll take the 7am LRT.Guess what?They arrived at 810am!!What the!!!I was like"what the!!?!?"Clement woke up late and when I sms-ed hm he was like "On de way"yeah....i thought he meant on the train,guess what?walking on the road,just out from the hostel!!Suan lo,got to Klang,had a delicious "bak kut teh" forgot everything loo...Today,I spent exactly 1hour and 15 minutes waiting for people..Great just great..The "Bak Kut Teh" where May Ching's father brought us was at Bukit Tinggi(thanks for the info*wink)and it was simply too nice..After all,it wouldn't be famous if it wasn't good right?Wow,really respect her father,really made tea for all of us to drink,as in,he really got into doing the Tea Tradition of "washing the tea,the cups"etc..respect,gotta learn that part of our Chinese culture..^^"

We went to Port Klang too,saw the North,South East and West Port..Really nice,we even got to see where the Star Cruises depart etc..Then we had another round of "makan" for cendol..it was nice but by then I was so full...walau,...cannot jalan..hehe..We took another hour rest at May Ching's place befoe risking our err...(lives,no lar) safety,on our trusted friend to drive us to Telok Gadong to take the train back..May Ching,I hereby declare that you are fit to drive alone!BRAVO!!hehe..the tran ride was long and hot,and the 3 of us collapse into deep slumber all the way til we reached KL Sentral..And we head to the Monorail and went to Times Square to catch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with Min Ley and Chin Leong who was pretty much comfortable hanging out the whole day at Borders..The show was marvellous,with Johnny Depp giving me a little creepy feeling but the rest was simple magnificent,that show..It was very musical too..though a little hard to catch on the words..

Then had dinner with mum at B'Sentral at Brickfields..It was a pretty posh looking South indian Restaurant and the food was marvellous,and it was affordable..Had 口福today lo..then home sweet home..I even went for a swim in the creepy swimming pool just now..it was 915pm,the lights were shining insde the pool and i got up at 930pm..well,it was because my imagination got hold of me..i was thinking "what if....a face suddenly appear in front of me?"and " what if suddenly some force pulled me down?"er...the pool was empty you see..haha,better safe than sorry hor??err...nolar,tired already,whole day play..(again excuses)

And then the final paragraph,back to the speech contest..we were told there were 2 first place and 1 second place,and these 3 will represent PPKTJ for the competition at the Japan club..it was a suprise for 2 person got 1st..Amir's title was announced followed by his name,he got 2nd place..at that time I was like,"there goes my last chance"yeah,i secretly wished to get at leat a 3rd,but then...and then drum rolls(hand thumping on the table)"Dai ichi inshyo" "Ayuni-san omedetou"....No suprise there,we already expected her to get top,just she doesn't looked extremly eloted..the suprsise winner.this drum roll was forever.."Ichi Go Ichi E.."silent...then *clap clap clap..yeah,it was me,the suprised winner..up on stage,with Ayuni by my side,she looked pretty glum for,actually she didn't wanted to join this speech but was voted to do so(told ya she was good)and now,she has to go Japan Club?She was like"tak nak lar,knp vote sy?tak nak tak nak.".silently..Oh well,I was very vry shocked but smiled on..I was really suprised cuz i thought May Ching would be the winner..Oh well,it was worth it,victory was sweet but cannot really show or else peole wil say u lan si lan yong..hehe..But my pocket bled after that..Manhattan Fish Market,KLCC,made me "fished' out Rm90..suan liao suan liao...korekara...I'm under Yoshida Sensei...great...How will my practises be afte this??ponder ponder...
