Mama told me there'll be days like these:$

Hello again...long time no blog..well actually malaslah hehe....things are nt looking very bright rite now..well firstly my dad's not well and has to undergo surgery for the removal of his stomach .I am very worried bout him but hey the one thing I know bout my dad is that he's a fighter and he has been through this before...so with God's help and constant prayer I know he'll get through this. My dad has opted not to have the surgery here but in London ...so he's there rite now and my mom will be leaving us tomorrow to be there with him:(..for a month which leaves me here alone with Nigel..I agreed to stay and look after my NASTY sibling for a month (oh wat joy!)..my mom's really worried bout him with his SPM comin up and all!...and plus we can't really afford 2 plane tickets to freakin London so it's best that my mom goes:)...

Seriously though I've come to appreciate all the things my mom has done to run the household coz trust me it ain't easy..I've got to get up early every morning to wake Nigel up...get down stairs make his breakfirst..give him his vitamins...send him off to school...then I have to decide what to cook for the day...which means I have to do the marketing (well actaully I'm gettin a lil' help from my mom's cuz in that department)..bt I have to decide how much and what to buy..veggies...chicken...fish....herbs...and I have to keep track of the grocery stuff that's finishing in the hse like eggs..milk...light soy sauce...dark soy sauce...blah blah blah ble blah blah...and then do the dishes...seperate the clothes for washing ...put em' to wash according to colour and type...dry em' fold em'( and mind you cleanaholic nigel goes through 3 pairs a day nt including school uniorm which has to be hand-washed and the clothes he wears to tuition...that's about 5 classes a week!)...then when he gets back make sure he eats his food and STUDIES!!!( I have to practically force him becouse he still thinks he's gonna be a rockstar kick ass guitarist someday so yeah..I DON'T NEED TO STUDY COZ I BET SLASH IS STUPID!...ahhh plz!!)...and then make sure he gets to bed early set his alarm clock ( although it's no use I still have to wake him up!)..and start all over the next day!...Okayyy now that I think bout it that's a lot of shizzz!

If that was not bad enough my stupid tooth started to ache...(okay well actually it's my fault I should have gone to the dentist months ago but didn't give a rat's ass)...well it all happened last year...you know the saying "an apple a day keeps the docter away!" well bullshit!...I bit into a freakin apple and it chipped my tooth...but it did't hurt so I didn't care...as months when on I think the hole got a bigger nad bigger until finally yesterday it literally STRUCK A NERVE....the pain was excrutiating!!! like somebody taking a knife and stabbing it through you gums!!...this time I absolutely had to check in with the doc!...my appointment was at 10 that's what the grumpy receptionist VERA DE SEQUIERA told me..( yeah i remembered her name coz she was my mom's old schoolmate who was shitty then as she is now!)...I had to wait a whole freakin hour before it was actually my turn to go!!! but somehow I was not scared at all although the sound of the drill echoed in my ear..I guess it was the amount of practice I had since primary always having to get my holes filled whenever those BRUTAL dentist paid a surprise visit in school...they would drill right to my gums!! (it feels like you're being given an electric shock everytime they do it!) but this was private so I reckon itcouldn't be that bad...

So when I finally got in and I should say that his room was astonishingly clean...so sanitised not a speck of dirt in sight...I even had to remove my shoes before getting in...and there it was the CHAIR!!!....bt an upgrade from the usual dentist chairs it was auto...felt like a massage chair...totally comfy!...I remember in school the dentist chair collapsed when one of the girls got on it haha!...and out of no where I heard a kind voice say "Good Morning Sonia are you scared??" and I was like "Nope!:)"...Dr. Nagen had that surgical mask on so I couldn't really make out his face...bt from what I could see it really resembled OBAMA haha...yeah no kidding!...unlike the other docs who dived right into my mouth he actually asked me what happened...so I explained and he laughed!!!(prob coz he thought it sounded too far-fetched)...so he put a lil' medicine to numb the area and took a look see...he sighed and said.."okay here's the thing..from what I see it's pretty deep so I'll giv you an injection to see whether it has reached your nerves but there is a good chance that it has..if not I'll just fill it up but if it has...."I interupted and said.." you'll extract it??"..then he clamly said " No, no...dear..we'll have to do a ROOT CANAL! because you're still young and that's a very important tooth!"...I gasped in horror!!

So unfortnately it turned out that yes I had to do a root canal!!...this I did not like because
#1: I heard it's very painful!

#2: It costs a bomb and all because of a apple...shizz!

anyway I agreed and the cost..well RM480!!...I paid for it though cause I didn't wanna trouble the folks...and so part 1 of 3 started today!..dude it felt like major surgery...there were like 4 helpers around him....one doing the suctioning and the others passing him tools..and VERA came along to watch coz she was such a kepoh and I could see her from the reflection making all sorts of faces as he drilled into my tooth...ughh what a wimp!...so first he said "I'm gonna give you an injection through the nerves to numb the area and it's gonna be painful but try not to move!"..and I was like "Okie"...bt I swear he was so fast I didn't feel a thing! he kept asking me..."does it hurt?...if it does just raise your hand"...but I seriously felt nothing and the whole thing went smoothly no PAIN at all!!...and before I knew it he was like okay you're done!...but he
did tell me I had to come back next week and the week after to follow up but the worst was over!...THANK GOD!! but really I was impressed...he gave me a couple of antibiotics and pain meds and that's it...I no longer fear the dentist!!;)..

So that was my day so far...nt looking forward to tomorrow coz i gotta send my mommy off...gonna miss her very much...one month is a long time...but I think Nigel is most sad...he doesn't wanna even talk bout it...guess coz he has never left my mom's side from the day he was born...poor him......well that's all for now...oh yeah and tomorrow is ash wednesday for us Catholics which starts the fasting season...so I think I'm gonna cut meat out of my died and go veggie...maybe we'll see gotta make some sacrifices;)...till then TTFN...

• I made a new year's resolution to give up chocolate at LEAST for a year..but have yet to keep up to it till this very day...in fact I ate almost half a bar yesterday!!!

• I have an acoustic and two electric guitars courtesy of my dad but am unable to play a C chord in tune because I have a little trouble developing callus on my fingers:( so it sounds a little muffled when I strum the guitar but hey I'm still learning!!!

• Most people think (I mean considering my age and all) that I've actually reached grade 8 in classical piano...but I actually gave it up after grade 1 and enrolled myself in a course in which I learn to play it by ear without notes...and I have done so ever since.....

• I'm ashamed of some of my family members attitudes ( I will not mention who) towards people less fortunate than themselves...labelling them as "survivors". This went against every thing I stand for and believe in!! I honestly thought that people like them only existed as bad examples in moral books and nothing more! Apparently not!

• I can't sleep without a bolster and still sleep on my tummy...just like I did when I was a baby!

• Most people do not believe that I'm the kinda girl who listens to heavy metal music as well as music from the 70's and 80's. I prefer them to most of today's musics genres...

• When I was 10 I took a puff of my aunt's half lit cigarette bud and decided never to go down that path ever again...

• I dislike carbonated drinks like coke or Pepsi because it feels like I'm swallowing acid for some reason!

• I unconsciously start biting my nails whenever I'm nervous...especially when it gets closer to important examination dates...before I now it they're all gone!!

• I have an obsession with flavoured lip balms...I have them in strawberry, peach, cherry ,butterscotch, milkshake, marshmallow, green tea and so on...

• I previously wanted to become a gynaecologist or paediatrician because I love taking care of babies and toddlers and also because I feel that they are the most innocent of all humans:)

• I currently have 5 piercings..2 on each year and 1 on my nose and I plan to get more in the future...

• I knew for a fact that my previous house was haunted because I used to see a shadowy figure lurking around my room at night but my mom told me that I was imagining it...only recently (after moving to the new house) she has admitted to having seen it too!!!

• I find it very interesting to argue with atheist's because i like to see their reactions to death...they say they will cease to exist, so I say.."wait doesn't that scare you?"and they go all numb!

• People find it very hard to believe that my dad works overseas and only visits twice a year!! but I never felt it because it has been this way ever since I was born!!

• I have a car but have not actually driven it out anywhere although I have had my driving licence for over a year now because my mom worries that something will happen to me!

• I personally cannot stand clutter and dirt (maybe it's just how my mom raised me...she herself is a cleanaholic!)

• I punched a boy right in the face once and made him cry!! until this day he does not dare to come near me! hehe

• I do not like to wear white or bright colours so almost half my closet is filled with black outfits!!

It waz my place....DO NOT make it yours!!!

How would you describe my place residences???...grotesque? gross? nasty? icky? sick??...well in short all of that and much more...this piece of hell waz where i waz forced 2 stay for a year and a half when completing my A levels in Subang...sorry i didn't post this earlier thnx 2 d min0r mishap I had with my laptop bt as promised here it is....these are d original pics I took wit my phone...

If ur wonderin? yes it's tap water and yes it's flowing into the washing machine along with all sorts of sludge....and when we drained it into the drain even the cockroaches scurried out of drain...I think we had ourselves a pretty solid reason as to why our clothes remained unwashed for weeks! ummm... we did complain along with d rest of my place's residents bt as expected nothing was done about it....fyi the bath water is just as dirty and plus it has this foul sort of either rusty or putrid smell depending on how dirty the water is...

This one is the bathroom area with some kind of mould growing on the sink and under d soap dish and u obviously would nt wanna hang ur towel on that rusty bar! disgusting!!

Haha..yes the trash....don't get me wrong it's nt that we deliberately make a mess...i've tried my best to make it more cleaner...even bought a freakin dustbin on my own expense bt sumhow it juz seems to pile up...well actually we pay them to clean the hse and take out the trash every week...bt since there waz too much trash I would occasionally take it and throw it out myself...bt let me tell u it waz nt pretty...once as I waz carrying the trash out I felt like there waz sum ants crawling up my hands....when I looked down I saw.....MAGGOTS!!!....owh gross!!!. I waz half way thru the living room so I couldn't juz drop the trash down so I started squashing those icky things coz I didn't want them gettin into my clothes...the second time I waz takin out the trash wit cassie nt realising that sum1 threw a half open bottle of coke into the bin so as we carried it out coke spilt all over the living room floor which made it sticky after we wiped it off....lucky for us we wore home slippers...God knows wat germs would get into our feet otherwise!!!

This waz my room (Thank God!!)...and check it out when they were fixing the fan they didn't really take good measurements did they???....this waz a real scary experience for me...when I first came in I had no idea that this waz so...and while unpacking I opened the top cupboard without offing the fan(luckily the speed waz on low)...n KABOONG!!!!!....my first instinct waz to run out of the room in fear that the fan might fall onto me which it didn't phewww! close call!.....bt it waz totally bent out of shape so I waz forced to get a new one fixed!!!....this waz nt the first time that this has happened....a girl who waz previously in the room got into the same mess and had to replace the fan...I waz thinking since it was those 'my place' idiots who fixed the new fans twice...why couldn't they do something about the placement of the fan or maybe actually warn us of the danger when they were giving us the "grand" tour of the apartment??? .....maybe they got some kind of cheap trill from watchin' students make the same mistakes again and again...ughh SADISTS!!!....as for the light it never got fixed until I waz finally leaving the apartment although I followed their stupid procedure of filling out a complaint form months ago!.....I swear I never wanna have to step foot into that apartment ever again! EVER!

It has been mths now and haven't refunded my deposit of RM1,290....so my mom called up the office to give them a piece of her mind!!!....they were like " oh...ahh wait ahhh let me check...oh okay ah miss....we juz send to u the check lo". ...I think if my mom didn't inquire the cheque would have never arrived in the first place...so PLEASE ...I URGE YOU! if ur plannin 2 study at Taylor's....DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT stay at MY PLACE!!....TTFN;)

Oh Well...

A-levels is such a rip off I swear...I should have done a more easier course like the Canadian pre-u or Australian matriculation where u don't have to put all ur eggs in one basket and hope that u ace ur finals...hmmm maybe i waz brain-washed from school in to thinkin' that exams are the only way to go since coursework and mini tests did not count for your final grade....arghhh damn u Malaysian schools and ur lousy system!!...I think back and really I should have juz put up with all that coursework and stuff so that my finals did nt account for 100% of my grades!!

Well wats done is done!!! jeez man when i started this course i waz an optimistic and bright-eyed 17 year old...now i'm a disgruntled 19 year old well almost 20!!!! I'm old dude!!!.....it robbed two years of my life!!!! well not all regrets there I made some lovely friends along the way who went thru the same shit that I went thru but i guessed whatever we went thru did make us a little stronger and a hell of a lot more cautious about our decisions in life!!

See for those of y'all who don't already know there are two parts to the A-level examinations...first is the AS exams which I did earlier last year which accounts for 50% of the final grade and second is the A2 exams which i did later last year which is the remaining 50% of the grades and all this done over a span of one and a half years in Malaysia....when people in other countries do it in two years!! which I think is pretty unfair because it gives them an extra 6 months to prepare for their A2 which is generally much tougher than AS exams....and it is silly because i started in July 07' and my AS waz in May thru June 08' this gave us roughly about 11 months to study for our AS exams which I think waz more than enough time.....however it only gave us about 4 months to study for our A2 which mind u waz a billion times more harder what more wit us re cooperating from the exhaustion of having done one major exam....simply ludicrous!!!!

As for my AS results.... I got an A for each Chemistry, Biology and Math and a B for my Thinking Skills which waz enough for any sane human to be overjoyed with...bt somehow I wasn't to thrilled...it only added to the stress of the A2 exams cause now I had to figure a way in which to maintain those stupid results in just 4 months!!! and let me tell u it waz pure torture....bt i never have high expectations so when i finally got my final grades last week I waz thrilled to say the least ...I scored an A for bio (haha in ur face miss Charmaine...she's my bio t'cher whom i absolutely hate for her childish behaviour...anime fetish and violent mood swings...boy wat a psycho!! and she prob hates me as well and gave me an E for my trials!!)..and a B for Math and Chem which means I dropped a grade for each but it waz expected coz the papers were hard....wat is the rip off u ask?? well the fact that other countries in Europe get an easier version of the paper which makes it whole lot easier for them to maintain they're A grade and way more difficult for us Asians for some reason...anyway I'm happy bt I feel bad for some of my friends who really needed that A to get into top universities with ridiculous entry requirements.

As for my future I've given up on the prospect of doing medicine....not because my results were not good enough or anything cause there are always loopholes...bt for the simple fact that it waz gonna take way too long and it's actually a life changing decision concerning my future so I thought long and hard weighing the pros and cons of the profession and finally came to a conclusion in which I figured that medicine is not the way to go for me....so I'm actually considering biomedical science in Canada...or sumthin else to do with science....money does nt really drive me because I value job satisfaction more....prob I always wanted to become doctor becoz i thought it was always a safer profession but I now choose to take the road less travelled and see what life has in store for me....oh well it can't all be that bad rite??....till then TTFN;)

You have to wonder...

For sure we already know the widely popularised song "viva la vida" by coldplay taken of their album of the same title...bt did u ever think that they would ever be filed for copyright infringement??....Recently world renowned guitarist Joe Satriani did so claiming that the song includes "substantial original portions" of the Satriani song "If I Could Fly" from his 2004 album "Is there love in space"

.......Satriani......

If you don't already know Satriani is well-known as a kick ass guitarist who trained some of todays guitar prodigies such as Steve Vai (bottom) and Kirk Hammett of Metallica(top).....but wow he has the guts to sue coldplay...haha good luck buddy...

Here are the videos of the songs....you be the judge.... for me does it sound exactly the same??..well nope juz the chorus I think bt still sumthin 2 ponder upon..... and fyi it took me so freakin long 2 figure out hw 2 put these videos in becoz i'm so nt tech savvy....so tada!! here it is and I'll give myself a lil' pat on the back for effort;)









"If I could Fly" by Joe Satriani











"viva la vida" by Coldplay
