When Cats Pray

Enjoy! It is pretty funny!

Before you start reading this post (if you are in NZ) go, watch the moon, it lits the sky up beautifully, the wonderful creation of God. Amazing isn't it? Anyway, the little group that I sit with, most of them have boyfriends. Shocking isn't it? It was especially for me. Alice got hers by slamming into this brunette guy and both were desperate so they started dating. Jokes, didn't happen like that, it was full of drama and all sort of nonsense. Go ask her personally if you want to know. I think as the time pass, I will be the only one who is single.

I have got badminton tomorrow, somehow I dread going there especially when I am the only year 13 there. Bo-Ring! Oh well, just play and enjoy it. I really don't like chemistry, especially when I felt like I was the dumbest in class. I don't even know why I took that class! I should stop writing now, I should get on with graphics since it is due on Friday.

I haven't been blogging constantly because i have been really busy lately especially with graphics. Why am I blogging right now, it is because of my friend pavitra who keeps bugging me. That girl should really start reading books instead of blogs. Anyway, I made a mistake in class by putting the alcohol percentage way too high, because what I am doing right now is designing wine labels. I didn't realised, think that it was really low, but my friend, G, picked it up and whistled when she saw the alcohol level '15%! man that is high!' Why? I worked so hard doing my designing 4 concepts no way i am going to change it. Oh well everyone will get drunk easily when they drink it. Aubrey told me that it shouldn't matter since it is graphics, so yay! But then again she doesn't take that subject. If I do get mark down by that, I am going to give her a piece of my mind.

Chocolate tuesday, I brought a cake for the whole physic class, and the terrific thing is that they love the cake i brought! Well another win for me today! That lifted my mood up, until maths class. I fixed Amy's bag and she was excited about it that we high-five today which seems to be a little too noisy for her that she started yelling at us 'Can you read!' she says while pointing at the board that has something written on it. Well, excuse us, but we don't notice it when you put is far at the corner. But I got over it eventually, while amy was just being stuck up and swear at her a few times behind her back. We did have a good laugh at the teacher in study period while all of us just tell some funny stories about teachers. I think I should stop for now, I better do my work now since it is due next week and I still got a wine stand to design.

Ah, love that song, I remember I keep singing that song, 'All about you' by Mcfly. Haha I found it at last! After 2 years of long search, my friend remembered! Gosh, I do miss my malaysian friends a lot while listening to it.

Anyway, I am here to tell you my stories about what happen and stuff. I went to Hanmer with my friends. Gosh it was such a great trip there! It will always be rated the best memories maybe second best...I don't know one of the best. Alice Dwyer, the little monkey, always stealing my stuff and stuffing down her...oh well somewhere, knowing that I wouldn't dare to grab it. Well, it was a torture when she pull my whole shoelace off making me limp to class without any shoelace on, at last she felt sorry and gave it back to me. What else? She didn't stop there, she told Hannah everything which Hannah wanted to take my shoelace off too. What am I talking about? Oh right, Hannah and Alice...two same personality and two massive destruction to my life. Jokes! There are fantastic friends, I love them! Oh also not forgetting the others in the group.

I want to go to the prom, yes! I have never been to one except for once, which I wore like a crazy hobo to that party or prom or whatever. I thought i wouldn't be fancy because my friend Jia Ling told me that she would be 'jamming' up there. When she said 'jamming' I thought she meant rocking out on stage and all. She did so but everyone dresses so elegant and stared at me when I came in, I felt like drilling a big hole there and drop in it and disappear. Oh well, Alice was totally bunking class today! Should slap her face or headlock her again like what I did the last time. It was such a fun thing to do watching her face go completely red...ahh...memories, sweet memories.

Abby asked me to bring my brothers friend to the prom. Well, it would be socially awkward bringing him there and it would be absolutely weird. I don't even know him and who said my brother would just give me his number. Of course he would just roll his eyes and tell me off.

I totally forgot about this blog. Well, here am I again updating this blog. I am suppose to update it and now I am updating it because of Jennyfer who texted me. Well, I am way behind my graphics, I really need to do my graphics work. I have been too lazy now of this day and I really need to study.

I also realised that I like designing houses and the weird thing is I planned on being an architectual. Great, another choice in my life, now I am making stuff worst for myself. Sigh, how am I suppose to know what I want to do? Oh well, I am going to go now.

The second one

Just when everyone was starting to forget the first, the second one struck. This wasn't expected from anyone (not sure about those geologist). Happiness in school was just forgotten so fast because of the second earthquake. Thank God everyone in my school was home when it hit, we got home because of the teacher's union at 12.15p.m and the quake strikes at 12.51 p.m.

Difference of first earthquake and the second, everyone was home when the first earthquake strikes but when the second earthquake struck everyone was having lunch or in work in the city centre. The first earthquake has done quite some damage to the city and the second earthquake have done all the damage for sure. This earthquake was 6.3 only 5 km deep and 65 people pass away. This is definitely not a great day for Christchurch.

This was violent, my house shook and sway violently as if it was enraged. Mum was screaming while I try to stopped a cupboard from falling onto me but everything

on the cupboard just fell of and one of our decoration drop and broke beside me. One of my bad habit was just sitting there waiting for it to stop, I should have dive under the table. Christchurch main building, the cathedral, was partly gone.

Before the earthquake After the earthquake

I hope there won't be anymore earthquake.

Ellie and Jennyfer kept calling me granny just because I am the oldest in the group. Anyway, those little brats will be taught some manners. Megan passed around the paper asking us to tick what time we want to watch the movie 'No strings attached', when it came to my turn, I don't know what time to tick, 3.55 or 6 something so I tick both. I passed it to abby who yelled out 'Who would bloody want to go at 4!' and she laugh like a maniac. Well, somehow everyone wanted it to be at 8 something, so I changed it too and abby called me a rebel. How does that make me rebel?

Alice changed my pencil case placing and I thought I lost all my pens when I went to study. Well, it was hilarious in graphics, Alice jab me and the teacher saw it calling her a bully, then she said I should learn self defence from Alice. Boohoo! Alice isn't that strong, and she is not that tough. I was right! She tripped at the door, why would I learn self defence from a girl who can't watch where she was going.

Jenniel sent me a disgusting picture of me. Gosh! I must get one of them. I will get it tomorrow. I have to do my homework now.

Where O' where has all my friends been?

Friends come and friends go. Does it all have to be like this? Life is a misery without any friends. I long for one who would ring me from time to time. I remember Jia Ling who would ring me and chat with me throughout the whole time, ignoring the phone bills and all. I love those days, and yet it all always comes to an end. Life seems perfect just at that moment and yet when I was at there I fret about all worldly things and now I still do. Here I worry about one thing, losing my friends. Everyone seems so independent so well sorted, so well planned with everything. I am still lost in my track, finding my own path, which one should I lead? I am sometimes still searching. I am lost. So many thoughts and questions, but so little answer. I should ring my friends from time to time, keeping them close is one thing that is important.

My friends in malaysia has all parted their ways, each going to the college or universities that they desire, and they are just so hard to keep in touch. Sure facebook will do the trick, but soon a whole paragraph of story will be one sentence and one sentence will be a word of reply. As the time tick, we distance ourselves, is it just me or you? Who changes? Did I change or did you change? It is hard to understand. Time gives us no time, it just comes and goes. Simple and yet quite complicated for me to juggle between 'adjusting' to the new life and 'keeping' the old life. How can I do both at the same time?

I want to keep my old friends and meet new friends, but once I do one, I start losing track of the other. This is hard. Life is complicated. Why do I worry? I guess it is all because I am a worrywart.

Happy New Year!

Happy new year to all! 2011, I am ready for you, even though I am not ready, you will just rush into my life without any hesitant. So I am always ready, willingly or unwillingly, I am ready. What can I say, 2010 was great but it has always felt the same like every other years. You look back and you feel accomplished...maybe, not quite. I don't set new year resolution because I know it will never last and I will never remember whatever resolution I set up. I hope I shall start off 2011 with a great start, a great booze will help me, and that booze should be good results. I know that no matter how hard I try to forget my results, it will still stick to me like a magnet, I will always remember it no matter what. It depends how good it is; it will either be a flower that blossom beautifully or a ugly weed. One that will be mock and one that will be praised, I cannot choose. Life has always been tough and hard. But again, happy new year to all, may God bless you.

Alice in 'Wonderland'

Alice a young, beautiful lady, mingled with her friends. Instead of tying her hair up into a bun, Alice had her curly brunette her down, somehow a young man from a far took notice. Not knowing this, Alice as usual had her friends laugh like a maniac around her while she farted loudly. The young man somehow find it so amusing that he laughed out loud too. Alice turned around and found this young man laughing by himself, thinking that he is insane, Alice told her friends about it while they stared at him weirdly and move away from that man. The young man realised the whole group was staring at him and he knew that he made a fool of himself. He picked up his books and head towards the group of girl. One girl screamed 'Get away from us' and everyone started running as if their life was in danger. Alice was running clumsily and she tripped over a rock doubling over and injured herself that she can hardly get up. The young man hurried towards her helping her up. Shocked by his reaction, she examined this young man who seems so handsome up close. His jet black hair and his blue eyes seems to impressed her. 'Why were you guys running from me?' the young man asked as he stared into her blue eyes. Knowing that it was her fault she put on a silly smiled and shrugged. 'My name is *blah* (put your ideal man's name in), let's get you to a doctor', he smiled and carried her in his strong arms. She placed her arms around his neck hugging him. 'Do you take arts?' he asked.

'How do you know?'

'Oh, your hands..'

'What?' she look at her hands, which were covered in paints 'Oh...'

Well, after a few weeks time, Alice started dating him and he seems to impress her parents. Those two seems so close that they are always together. When Alice was 25, she got married to him and they had four lovely kids and they live happily ever after.

'Relationship'

There are two types of friends, one that will tell you everything and one that is so secretive that she wouldn't tell anyone anything. There are some of my friends that is such a chatterbox that would tell you everything except for one thing, 'relationship'. She talk and talk and talk, while you listen attentively, not missing one word, until she blurts out a name that she shouldn't have said but still continue on like a tut tut train trying to cover up her mistake, until you interrupt her 'Who is (name)?'. She shrugs and deny your comment but at the corner of your eye you see her blush and smile and you know you may be right. Maybe, just maybe she is dating or maybe she had a crush or maybe she is embarrass that you tease her with a certain someone. No matter how beg and ask she will always shake her head vigorously and say 'No' in a stern way. But some people are just like a detective they will always ask 'Who is he/she?' and followed with the normal phrase 'Tell me EVERYTHING', they will persuade until that stubborn nut gives up and tell them everything except missing some important points. Yeah, that would be me, but I don't always persuade, I used to not anymore. All I do was smile along and stick to my 1st two maybe's, it is fun and interesting that way but yet annoying not to know. But why bother? Yeah sure it is the lastest gossip in your own 'reality world' but don't you have your life to gossip about?

There are two types of people, one who wants to be in relationship so badly and one that doesn't care at all. Most of my friends are the one who wants to be in relationship so badly, almost everyday I hear the same thing 'I wish I got a boyfriend' or I hear a sigh when I tease them about boyfriends. Until I met someone who said 'I don't care, I can't be bothered to have a boyfriend', how interesting. She jokes and laugh about having a boyfriend and this is how the conversation goes...(I will call her A)

A: I will be sick of valentines and stuff like that. He will be like 'I got you some chocolate! So...what did you get for me?' 'Uh....socks?' and I will give him my socks!

Me: Lol! I bet he will dump you at the spot.

A: Haha! And I would be like 'Aww...why do you to break...uh..I don't care anyway, bye!'

Wow, if a girl dumps a boy like that I would call her the 'heartbreaker'. My friend is a joker, she is not all bad. She does have a heart, I remember the time one of her mates got mad at her she was all sad and worried. I am in between this two people, sometimes I want to be in one, but once I see that you have to text him like every 5 minutes I get put off. Sure being in a relationship is nice, someone who care for you and love you, aww..how sweet but don't you have your own friends who cares? I am not against relationship, I just want to be happy everyday without worrying. But it is hard to be honest, especially for me.

The pride of the sign 'L'

I got this last Wednesday if I wasn't mistaken. The pride of getting 'L' is like getting a badge of honour or getting a gold medal. Most people will think this is silly or stupid but not me. I stride around proudly showing my temporary piece of paper to everyone. The yellow square template with a black sign 'L' was attach to the car wind screen. Getting behind the wheel is lovely, smiling in glee while you rev up the car and step on the acceleration too hard that it jerk forward, leaving your teacher sweaty and their hands are gripped on tightly to the side handle.

This 'L' is not just an L it is the part of your success and a step towards independence. I smile with pride as I drive onto the road, smiling and waving at every bypasser while they give you a look, a look that say 'She is crazy', a look that you might agree. For you it is just a learners, but for me it is a learning process to independence and pride.

There was once I called Jia Ling, she was so excited about this one shoe and she wants to get it but I just don't know how. Anyway, she wanted my address so I told her and she replied 'Can you say it slowly once more?'. My address has a word 'Grove' in it, while I was mentioning that she was like 'Growth? G.r.o.w.t.h?' and I was like 'What kind of dumb address it that?' after having a few laughs at her while she sighs and grumble, I spell it out for her. And again, the questions that she always ask 'Why are there no photos of you in your facebook?'. Oh gosh, I can't just take a picture of myself and post it in. That would be extremely weird and having friends to take with me? I would say my friends don't really like the camera flashing their way when they are not pretty enough. I remember when I am in the mall they were like 'Livia can you not, I am in this dumb outfit' or whatever, something like that. They were actually wearing all this flashy outfits with some blings and bangles everywhere, whereas I am just wearing a shirt and a jean. Jokes, I hardly take pictures anyway, I look like a douche carrying my camera everywhere. I got my phone, but nah my phone is terrible, the pictures in it always look awful.

Today, my dad's mates are coming over for lunch. Last night my mum was asking me to roast a chicken for his mates. Why? Why me? You know I always burn it. New Zealand got a gold medal for commonwealth and Malaysia has 5 gold medals, yeah! Go Malaysia! Alice! Asians are winning that Kiwis!

Holiday

Holiday is becoming more and more boring. I am planning to take my learners license tomorrow, but I am still unsure whether I can pass. I just hope that I can pass and get it done with. I haven't been studying lately, gosh, and I so much to brush up especially english. Amy haven't top up her phone, she is really slow, how is she suppose to make plans when she don't top up her phone.

I haven't been writing in my blog because I had been really busy lately. Busy resting. I know, I know, how can you be busy resting. Well...actually, if you rest you take lots of effort. You have to take some time off, trying to push everything aside just to rest. I mean come on, sometimes you rest, your mum will ask you to do some work, thinking you are lazy. You need to find a time, to just sit back relax and enjoy doing nothing until you hear your name being called. There goes my mum again, I need to clean the table now and then back to my books.

Reaction

I hate how I reacts to Saturday, everything seems slower, my movement, my thinking, especially my reaction. I don't know why, I always feel tired, or some other people might say lazy. But I am seriously not lazy, I want to be active. But somehow, I am way too tired to move, when I stand up, I feel dizzy, the room feels shaky. Probably is the after shock huh..

Yesterday was hilarious, Alice was funny. I mean, when you look at her you start cracking up. It all started when Abby said 'Look at Alice! She looks funny!', yea that was when everyone started cracking up. Danielle said it was because of her skirt, it was slant sideways and her jersey make her body a little bit distorted. We played a game how fast people react or realised what was changed to a person's appearance. I suck at it of course, I don't know what I was doing, so all I did was fold up my jersey's sleeves and lower my tie. Before that, they were trying to pronounce my chinese name correctly, obviously it was a failure. Abby was the closest one to getting my name right and she was asking 'Do I sound asian?'. She is good but she doesn't sound asian. Alice is always the worst at pronouncing my name.

Earthquake

It was the biggest earthquake in New Zealand. It started in Canterbury, that is why it was so huge. Everyone was actually freaking out, even me, the magnitude was 7.4. I text Alice, who was actually sleeping until her mum came into her room yelling 'Get under the door!'. It freaking woke me up alright, shaking so hard like trying to shake a sleeping beauty up. Misa even text me asking whether I am alright. This is really one scary experience, I couldn't sleep after that. Even dad got calls from every where especially from my aunt and uncle. Just pray that God will keep Christchurch strong and stop the earthquake.

How can people can excellent when I can't even get achieved?

How can I achieved the highest? Why can't I be like the others? What is wrong with my essay? Why do I fail when I just make one stupid mistake? I got that date wrong, so what? That is much of a problem is it? Well, I really need to brush up on my stupid essay. All three of them, short stories, unfamiliar and extended text. I really need to study now.

I am really kind

My title post really got nothing in common with my post here but it might have something in common. Well, I won badminton singles and doubles so I am really happy. Misa was my badminton partner in my doubles. Laura, one of my badminton teammates kept saying 'Livia stop doing that' after that it followed with 'Livia you are being too harsh!' or 'Don't be mean'. I am kind, real kind, seriously. Everyone was against me in badminton, can you believe that, I mean come on mate, even Misa was laughing crazily at my terrible hit. But anyway, I won, as amy said we should have credits for playing badminton. She reckons I would get excellence for it. It would be great if I get credits for it...

It was a close call, I freaking slip and almost smash out of the windows. What a day, probably not smashing out of the window, my head was an inch close to the window. I was going down the stairs arguing with Zahra as usual because she called me a 'gleek' because I watch glee. I argued that she did watch glee, anyhow, I was walking backwards then turn wanting to walk the right way but I slip, missing a step so I slip. Rushing down the stairs at full speed (just imagine someone push you down a stairs but you didn't fall) but it was alright because two steps and I got my grip back. But I thought I would slam into it, I already had my hands up to my head. Dayna, Felicity and Zahra was laughing hysterically and so was I.

I came home and text Zahra about how I met this indian muslim guy who would love to meet her. She didn't believe me at first, calling me an egg as usual and saying that I was lying. I told her that it was true and he was interested in meeting her and I said I describe her very well. She asked what did I said and I said that she was short but pretty, smart but dumb at times and said that she would make a good wife! Then she called me a douche bag, real nice ae after I called her pretty and smart. The boy was ten or under...totally her type. Zahra the Zebra never miss her chance to insult me and I never miss mine.

I was imagining the story that I would like to write, my heroes would be Alice ( I know she is not the type of hero, anyway her attitude might make it fun), Abby and Terri. There are more, but this three would be one of the main character. Oh I told Zahra that she can be the annoying main character who gets everyone in trouble. Amy and Stacey, can be the funny and annoying merchants. There will be more to plan, I might put some of my Malaysian mates in, Qi can be the strongest enemy since there is no one as strong as her, Jia Ling the expensive merchant the others might be the minor character. I haven't plan it all yet, just bit by bit.

Alice and G, a charlie angels? No way... Alice and a fantastic dream, she dreamt that she was like one of charlie angels with her partner G. She tells her story, full of adventures and action. It was something like this...

It was a late night hang out, Alice, G, Danielle and Abby went for a lovely walk in the city. Out of nowhere, buskers came, dancing and singing, Alice realised they were in danger, 'Quick don't make a sound (something like that)'. But stubbornly G shouted something that I can't remember. The buskers notice the girls, they rushed towards them and all of the sudden, Danielle needs to tie her shoelace. While the two girls got caught behind, Alice and G became heroes, rushing in saving the 'damsel in distress'. Alice grabbed one of the man by his arm and twisted it saying 'Don't do that again!' then she blow him off with a powerful punch. G no idea what she did, bet she got her crazy 'kung fu' skills. While Alice did a high kick causing stunning some men.

But no way such thing would happen, Alice is tough but never would be able to do karate and G way to soft to have 'kung fu'. I tell you who got karate's moves, Zahra the Zebra, the girl who hit me on the elbow so hard it hurts. Nah just joking it doesn't, it was a soft knock because I ignore her. I tell you what hurts, my chinese teacher giving me more than 55 strokes, using a cane. Yup, that was the day I cried...oh wait, I cried once when one of the PE teacher plans to embarrass us, asking us strip just because we forgot to bring our PE clothes (we didn't strip though). I mean how can you embarrass people, that is a terrible teacher, sure you can yell and shout at us but not embarrass us, we are embarrass enough if they told us off.
