CONFIRMATION!!

I got up at about 8.1O a.m this morning, mainly because the guests in my house were making a lot of noises, and also because my mom was too anxious that i was gonna be late to church to prepare. when i got there, i didnt see desiree and raymond, because apparently they were hiding behind a pillar for fear of passer-bys ogling at them. when i arrived, i was kinda shocked to see raymond's curly hair. well i thought he had straightened his hair before, but why was it so wavy? anyway, i began working magic to his hair, and the whole straightening process took about roughly 45 mins. imagine the thickness of his hair, minus the sideburn. the front part was the hardest cos the baby hairs were so short. when bishop arrived [i never knew he was so punctual!] i was still doing his hair and he was mortified when he heard the bishop's voice.

the whole process was exactly as rehearsed, except for the part where we need to kneel before "your grace" for the anointment. during rehearsal, i was practically laughing my arse off because bishop JUDE was so funny! but the actual thing didnt require us to kneel face-to-face so it kinda eased my urge to laugh.

now this is the best part : us singing "we are one in your name". everyone of the girls wore a dress, except for me. but i rocked that look even though i was wearing skinnies with my sister's red-laced adidas stan smith sneakers. the singing was as expected, i guess, because i did not ask for anyone's opinion.

after the concluding rite, we were taking pictures with everyone. its not often that you get to wear all white, and the last time we did was when we were nine. i had a dress back then.

cameras were flashing everywhere at the altar, and i too took some pictures on this special occasion. basically it was an experience too precious to be forgotten, especially the preparation for it.

ohh, and as i was writing this, i got a phone call. ohh and guess what? it was mr raymond himself! he was expressing his gratitude towards me by offering to treat me for a meal soon. hmm.. i wonder if that day will ever come.. but it was nice of him to call me personally just to say thank you. that took me by surprise.

later in the evening i had dinner with rainier and the gang, including joshua, the most unlikely person to join us. we ate at crocodile rock, the outermost part of the restaurant cos the whole place was deadly silent. no one made any noise, except for the clinking of the cutlery. i ordered *ehem* bangers and mash [in a bri'ish accent]. it got everyone laughing their heads off. after we filled up our stomachs we made our way to john's condom, just opposite to croc roc. that place's nice if only they have their lights on.. plus the pool looks creepy in conjunction with the dark surrounding. all of us ran to john's house right after rainier and desiree went up to check out the flickering lights. well, they caught up in the end so we ended up messing with john's facebook account instead. coincidentally, raymond was online at the same time so we made john sound gay. it was soo funny and in the end i got about 90+ notifications.. all thanks to the bunch of monkeys spamming my pictures.

Grandparents' Birthdays!

well, last night was fun in the beginning because i get to take lots of pictures and stuff like that but almost at the end things got boring cos i when i tried to play "happy birthday" on guitar i failed. miserably. and so it got my mood down for the rest of my night or so. i was yawning and got bored of taking pictures of everyone, mainly because its either most of the people were drunk or extremely anti-social. when i finally got back home i slept immediately. i just couldn't stop staring at the clone. at all.

i need to...

get a life. seriously. all i do is just going online... visit random sites, and thats it. my addiction to the net is baaad and i need to get off this thing.

nothing but the truth, please

so, the confusion sets in, when mixed signals are sent off. which is it then? there is a fine line between virtual and reality, and if you dont interpret clandestine messages correctly, things happen. its like being asked this question : [[seeing is believing --- looks can be deceiving]]

maybe some things are better left alone... and let it work itself out. but you wouldnt know if you dont try, or so they say.

p/s : dont strain your brain tryna understand what ive written.... whats not yours will not be yours and if its not meant for you, you wont know what im talking about..

maybe its just gibberish? maybe. the possibility is there

dont try to avoid the truth, what goes around comes around.. wait til karma bites you on the arse

Part II

so, here goes part 2.

there was this part where you have your own envelope hung up and anyone can write anything for you. so, we as mischievous kids have a brilliant idea on spamming raymond's inbox! that was really really fun. so melissa and i brainstormed for quite some time and came up with the idea of a chainmail. its those sorta thing on facebook where if you don't post this to other statuses you will die a horrible death, which is plain bullshit. we made up a ridiculous story about how a girl hung herself with her pantyhose and then stuffed it in his mailbox, not forgetting the See More part. rainier, too did some spamming.

we also had this angel-mortal thing, and i scolded my angel for not coming to my rescue when i needed him. time passed by so fast and in the blink of an eye its time to head home. right before the ride home we were given a stern warning by raymond on not to comment anything about his driving. well we kept our mouth shut on that. a few minutes after the journey started he literally fell asleep on the steering wheel! we just had to stop. we got outta the car and got ourselves and himself something to eat. the journey continued and we were making a lot of noises in the van, singing to justin bieber songs just to annoy him. but he showed no reaction and that wasnt fun at all. what a party-pooper! he was soo quiet for the whole time that i seriously thought something was wrong with him and the way he reacted actually made me feel bad for always being so sarcastic to him. unbelievable, i know!

so, thats the end of it. the whole thing was really fun and saying goodbye to the friends we have just met for 2 days was a difficult thing to do. but we sorta promised each other to still keep in touch.. and this is where facebook plays its role. the reason im jotting all these down is because i know i have limited space in my memory, and the only way to refresh it would be carving all i need to say here.

praise the lord‼

Confirmation Camp

well, i just got back from the MBS Rawang Resort about 3 hours ago, where my final confirmation camp was held.

the journey there was okay, and i was in the same car as melissa, sonia, jane, alcia and two other aunties. we got into the mvp cos the van was taken by kristyl, rainier, desiree and the others. they just couldn't wait to torture raymond with justin bieber songs, ever since raymond mentioned it to us herd of buffaloes just right before the trip. how much smarter can he be? ¬_¬

well it was all his own fault

we were kinda off-timing, cos we were supposed to be there by 7 p.m., but reached there a little later than expected. this is all because of raymond's driving and also those justin biebers that raymond had to babysit. well he was just lucky enough not to have ludatelle there.. or else he might die before we even reach our destination. the resort was located deep inside a forest with winding roads, so remote that its almost impossible to locate it.

the first person that i met was sean. what an outgoing fella! so later in the day i warmed up to more people. i noticed something about myself though. the phrase that i used the most was "whats your name again?" cos i just cant remember names! there was this dude who said " you asked me many times dy la"

how embarrassing.. ughh. the sessions were okay, the only thing everyone looked forward to was the pool!

at the pool yesterday : i cant swim, so all i did was just soak in the water in my clothes. raymond and his gang were having water polo, and heck, he looked like a giant in the water! the water level was at everyone's chest, but when he stepped into the pool, it only reached his waist! so he started to splash water on everyone, mostly on me. at first he tried to drag me into the pool but failed. we had our payback time when all of a sudden his leg cramped. sonia and i grab this oppurtunity to splash at him in return. muahahhaaa!!

later, i saw roy walk by with sandra. he made some gestures with his hands on wanting to push me into the water. i got up and said to him that if he's got balls then let me push him into the water instead. i guess he's just those type of guy that cant be challenged. he admitted that he had 4 balls, but i kept the convo going by asking him is his balls are made out of plastic. we walked to the 6 feet deep area and he challenged me to push him, but i sensed that he was gonna pull me along, so i turned away and left. he, in turn, grabbed my hands and forced me to the side of the pool. i was trying to grab anything that i could touch but there was nothing.. i told him that i can't swim. he brushed it off saying "come on la". he was really strong - he just literally flung me out into the water. the moment i fell into the pool those chlorinated water swallowed me quickly. i felt my feet on the tiled ground, but my head was still underwater and so i tried to stay afloat by moving my arms like mad. this time the water gushed into my nose and mouth, but i managed to get some air before i started to sink again. the next thing i knew, someone jumped into the pool and dragged me up to the surface. he pushed me up to the side of the pool. i was soo relieved but at the same time had panic attack as this was not the first time i almost drowned. when i opened my eyes, i see auntie t, brandon, rainier, joshua and roy crowding near me. i was hyperventilating so much. i was coughing out the water from my nose when i heard someone asking me if i was alright. i got up, made my way to the toilet and had to explain to about a hundred people of my condition. at that time, i got so scared that my hands were basically numb and shaky. the next thing i know, desiree cut her finger by the rotating fan. that place was pure evil.

so later in the evening roy came and apologised to me. at first i just walked off cos i was still angry. the second time he approached me i made him tell me his side of the story. apparently, according to him, i did not tell him that i couldn't swim. i did! he twisted the whole story by saying he didn't hear what i say. not only the apology was insincere, he even turned the whole story around by saying that he saved my life. wtf! more like he almost accidentally killed me! i accepted his apology anyway.

later in the night i met the most awesome person in the entire camp. and his name given by me is mister awesome, real name richard. i went out of the room to get fresh air, wanting to sit on one of those benches but all of them were wet. then i heard someone calling my name and at first i thought it was brandon cos they were wearing the same colour, but it turned out to be two of the facilitators. he made me tell my story to him for the millionth time. i dont know why, but apparently he found the way i present it funny. hmm... well thats when i found out that he is awesome, if not as awesome as i am. and it only took us one conversation.

part 2 of the story is gonna be continued prolly tomorrow cos i am really tired. all my energy is drained cos i was playing the name game with mr. awesome until about one something last night, and i was woken up today morning at 6.15 a.m.. what a life!

sports day

yesterday was prolly the last sports day for me.. and life is ironic. i remember how i used to hate going to school, and now that when i only have about 6 months of schooling time left, i try to cherish it as much as possible. and that includes playing tricks on the teachers.

so the other day my maniac friends and i had this idea - to find 'things to do in class when bored'.. i did my part by googling it and you tube-ing it and came up with a whole list of it. and so, as usual, i would be the one to try it first. i made up a brit'ish accent while answering history questions and it came out not like what i expected. melissa! you promised not to laugh but in the end your laughter was all i heard!
