Hey guys! I've moved to http://bidingink.blogspot.com. I'll be inactive in blogdrive. However, I'll keep this blog open so that all could see. For memories sake I suppose. :D

Till then guys!

Basking in the ambience;

Our meeting with Cikgu today was surprisingly short. It was done by 10am, so where do you go at 10am? As in, seriously.

My intention of hanging out with my gal pals were apparently hampered. :( Why? They insisted on going to JURONG POINT to eat. If there's one place I want to run away from, it's JP. I have had enough of that place! I might visit again though, but only after the new JP is open. So where to? IMM with Azizan :D Something tells me IMM is going to be our new haunting place. Eeeeyeer.

Since it was STILL OH SO EARLY, we breakfast-ed at Burger King. The bacon was freaky, and had this burnt taste to it. So I donated them all to Zan. He was a happy kid.

Adilah was nice enough to make a blog post, dedicated to me; suggesting on places to go. Thanks woman, I loveeee ya! So today we decided to go with the first suggestion i.e. Chinese Garden!

After walking around for quite some time, we sought refuge next to a huge shelter, which looks more like a multi-purpose hall; which is also, apparently, called the GUEST HOUSE. Go figure.

This is was the best part of our whole Chinese Garden experience. 1) There was this topless apek who was juggling between playing a flute and playing with a hula hoop. He was there when we came, and also, when we left. HAHA. 2) We saw M.Shadows. hahaha, nvm. 3) We sang our hearts out to Avenged songs like two drunken assholes.

At first we were like,
Him: I can't sing lah. It won't be nice.
Me: I would, but I won't. Aiya, paiseh lah.
Him: HAHAHA.
Me: Let's listen to A7X songs.
Both: START SINGING

How stupid. The singing part was awesome cos we kept whining like how M.Shadows usually does at the end of almost every line in a song. We were screaming/singing to the songs. Some fun shit. :D

Basically, we were literally, "Basking in the ambience" the whole day. *winks to Ashiqa. We decided that maybe we should both grow blacker. However, in the end all we got were 2 white faces, looking all red instead. HAHAHAH.

I'm sorry I'm not the kind who takes a lot of photos, like Nadia. :) But I do take a few.

Looks more like a painting to me.

Azizan: "LOOK! Swash and backwash!! *swishing hand movements* "

Something tells me that he wants to live in the trees there.

See the lake there? We saw a duck that was standing ON the water!

Rather hard to get him NOT looking at the camera. How annoying.

We both look like toot-asses, cos the sun was too bright.

I had a lot of fun laughing today. There's still a lot to blog about actually. But I'm tired. Furthermore, lets keep some things in our memories instead.

Thanks for the great day, I love you! :D

Quote of the day: "Wait, why are we whispering?!"
Word of the day: "REDUNDANT!"

Okay, think I'll end the post here. Maybe we'll even continue with the list of suggested places by Ms. Adilah? Insyaallah.

Anyway, I want to go out with my irritating girlfriends soon! No more JP people, PLEASE!

Till then,
Ika, Biding Ink.

I feel the static;

Wed, 26 Nov 2008 09:26:21 GMT

I'm currently listening to Eminem's Mockingbird. How random is that?

Anyway, I'm finally OUT today thanks to Azizan :D .I think I need to think of new places to go to. Shall seek assistance from Adilah, HAHA. The pain of staying at home with absolutely nothing to do, is unbearable!

I'm clearly still in a holiday mood. Like I said, I'm stuffing my pitiful brain with studies only in December, make that only a few weeks in December. Cos 1) I'll be holiday-ing in Chiang Mai (yay!), 2) I'll be having 3 FD Comp training, 3) I'll be having a family chalet.

:D

Finally, things to do! Frankly speaking, I have no idea what to blog about. All I can think of is RC camp? Okay, I don't like blogging about camps, cos that means thinking through all over again what happened. And typing in great detail; which is something my brain apparently, can no longer handle. Haha. All I can say is, it was a great effort put in by the Sec2s. Like I said, I have faith that you guys would improve even more. You'll get the hang of it, trust me! Great job by the way, guys. (:

Okay, suddenly my playlist is playing jiwang Malay songs from like a million years ago. HAHAHAHA.Sorry, that was totally random.

Anyhooo, I'm excited to go to school tomorrow. Why? Cos I'll get to meet my girlfriends. It's been quite some time since I last saw them. I especially miss Shahirah, the irritating bitch. ;)

I know this is not exactly a proper update. But I just felt like blogging about something. Haha. I think I'm getting high (as in hyper/happy) again. I NEED HELP. *grins.

And I realise Zan loves to say this, "Cannot takiiiit seh!", in a very Melayu accent. The expression on his face is priceless! HAHA.

Anyway, I think Ashiqa is mad, cos she keeps going to the zoo. And I still haven't go yet! URGH. I wonder where she gets the cash. (????!) And I think I'll have this uncontrollable urge to slap Syarizan tomorrow, cos she'll definitely annoy the shit out of me. :D Still, I love my insane companions. Wonder where's Afiah though...HMMMMM.

Okay, think I'll end the post here. I think I need a bath now. (Haha, stinkkksss).

I need to take photos! :(

Till then,
Ika, Biding Ink.

Passion in my eyes;

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 13:34:35 GMT

Hello good people of the earth! Okay, so today I'm finally out of my humble home. Did I mention I was stuck at home on BOTH Saturday and Sunday?! The horror.

Alrightey, today I went to Vivo with Azizan, to catch a movie. So here's the thing, 1) I get to watch Madagascar 2; 2) I get to take a long bus ride; 3) I get to go to Vivo. See, told you guys my "wishlist", more like my list of wants is almost completed! :D *dances in joy!

Today became slightly panicky (especially towards the end of the day), since SOMEONE was smart enough to leave his handphone lying unguarded at home!

Anyway, our little trip to 7 11 was plain dumb! I've never felt so stupid being in that store, EVER in my life. Why? 1) We already paid for the chilled snacks, and we forgot to heat it up; 2) We already paid for the chilled snacks, and we forgot to buy drinks; 3) We already paid for the chilled snacks, and we forgot to get an eating utensil to eat it with. SMART RIGHT? hahahaha. And the best part was, we circled the whole store JUST to realise that the microwave was just a mere 5 steps to the left of the refrigerator.

-

Well, the movie wasn't too bad. It was hilarious, as predicted. As usual, my favourite part of all was watching the Julien dude, the highly narcissistic, self-proclaimed king; dancing away.

Just look at his face, can't take it seh. HAHAHA. :D

Basically, our day was mostly - us trying to find certain places in Vivo. And let me tell you, it didn't help that the two of us were bad at directions. We were lost like what, 3/4 of our time there. Haha, but hey, I still did have fun okay. ;)

By the way, does anyone have any idea as to WHY youngsters just love hanging out at the outdoor-roof-part-thingy in Vivo. There were like truckloads of them (including ourselves, haha). Yes, I know I sound rather ironic at this point of time. :)

Vivo was extra crowded, school holidays la, so yeah. No shocker there.
This was kinda cute & the woman in the foreground thought we wanted to snap a photo of her. Excuse me eh.

Okay, so like maybe we went overboard with the excessive Adidas watch coverage.

:)

The view was nice, unfortunately SOMEONE wants to burn the tree back there.

For those of you taking geog, *takes a deep breath in. Azizan claims this man-made pool has got backwash and stuff. UGH!

I would describe today as odd, in an extremely good way though. HAHAHA! I had tonnes of fun!

-

Thanks for the day & the surprise-thing,
loves; :D

Till then guys,
Ika, Biding Ink.

and that feeling of doubt is erased;

I'm stuck at home with absolutely nothing to do this weekend! It's such a contrast from what I was doing last weekend, with my cousin's akad nikah (solemnisation) on Saturday and his actual wedding ceremony on Sunday. On top of that, I accompanied my aunt on Sunday to Swissotel for a Hi-Tea with Indonesian stars from this popular Indonesian drama, Cinta Fitiri. Wasn't too keen on going at first, but hey, if it means "escaping" part of my cousin's wedding (which was starting to get boring after some time), then why not? :D

Sad to say, I don't have photos from the Hi-Tea cos they're all in my aunt's digi cam. Recently I'm in the mood to take like beautiful, awesome photos but I can't. Why? 1) My cam phone's quality is horrendous; 2) I don't even own a freakin' digi cam! I feel so shitty!

Anyway, yesterday marked the last day of my journalism course, aka AEM (Advanced Elective Module) course. I'm really going to miss the bus rides to and fro Ngeen Ann Poly. And I'm going to miss the canteen. Basically I'm going to miss our whole time at NP!
We went to IMM yesterday after the course and roamed around like idiots. We looked like even bigger idiots when we sat down and did this! But it was stress relieving okay. So f you people who walked by and think we were insane!

The bottled paint-like thingies were falling in by the way (: Art piece by Afiah, Ashiqa, Azizan and ME! Haha, yes I know, WE NEED HELP.

Now I feel like screaming (in a good way though) in Bharatth's face, "Lucky I went to the journalism course!!!!!" heeee! But seriously speaking, the course wasn't too bad and the idea of poly life is starting to sound great since I attended the course.

-

RC camp in a few days time, from the 19th-21st. Hope this would be a memorable & good one. Good luck to the Sec2s who, I assume are still frantically trying to make ends meet (and last min preps) for the camp. Do a great job guys!

Pejam celik, pejam celik (haha), 2008 is already coming to an end. I know this sounds extremely cliche, but time DOES fly. Imma savour the last bits of Sec3 life yaw!

I still have no idea where my parents are bringing me this December. They keep contemplating between Jakarta and Chiang Mai. My vote is still with Chiang Mai okay. Wth are we supposed to do/see in Jakarta, I mean seriously! Whatever it is, I'll just go with the flow. So long as I get to go out of Sg to take a break for a bit. :)

Haha, I think I'm starting to fall in love with Times New Roman. It's feels so...classy. :D

And Nadia, I ain't posting any photos. HAHAHAHA, yet. ;) Sorry for the very disorganised blog post!

-

By the way, thanks for making my so called "wishlist" from the previous post a soon-to-be-reality (slowly, one by one of course, insyaallah)! I love you. :D

Till then guys,

Ika, Biding Ink.

I'm too young to worry;

Tue, 11 Nov 2008 13:50:40 GMT

Hey lovelies! :D This week is so called the first "official" week of holidays. I still don't feel like its the holidays though, reason being we still have to go to this journalism course at Ngee Ann Poly. The course is pretty much okay, I suppose. Although it can get rather annoying at times, especially with one of this really IRRITATING "tutor". Nonetheless, I still learnt quite a bit during this course (I must say). I kinda enjoyed it when guest speakers come in and share their experience and stuff. My favourite was the talk on how to take good "journalism photos". The photos they showed us were awesome. Nothing tingles my senses more than a well snapped photo! (:

Today we did TV broadcasting. It was quite cool la I guess, but it didn't interest me that much. Maybe cos I already had quite an experience about this kinda technical stuff during my P6 days, when I was in IT & Media club. HAHAHA. Wth.

I'm rather surprised about the fact that this holidays, I am so no jammed packed with the most ridiculous and random stuff on earth. All I have is what? RC Camp. :D That's it. I feel so FREEEEEEEEEEE!

I'm done feeling guilty over my EOYs. It's over anyway. I'm thinking of kicking off my study-mania during December. I'm using my November to rejuvenate/recharge etc.

I want to visit the Mandai Zoo.
I want to watch Madagascar 2, so that I can laugh my ass off with the stupidity of the characters in the movie.
I want to go to Vivo cos it's been quite some time since I went there.
I want to take a looooooooong bus ride to no where.
I want to visit some random Bukit Batok so called "park" thingy.
I want to do a lot a lot of random stuff! :D

I think I've lost it, really. HAHAHA. Who cares?!?!?!

I'll update more soon okay, so people like Adilah & Nadia won't complain. I think they're like the only free ones to actually come and read my nonsensical posts.

I miss Shahirah by the way! :(

Oh ya, anyway, today we visited Afiah's grandmother's stall at NP. She's so generous that she gave us like $2 each. The way she gave us was like as if it's Raya. HAHA, she's cute! :D

Oh oh oh, and I'm like totally in love with Seize The Day played on the piano. It's some cool shit man! There's even like what, Bat Country on piano!

Anyway, someone's sick.... :(

Till then guys. Have a great break! :D

Ika, Biding Ink.

Hola lovely people out there! To tell you guys the truth, I am in no mood what so ever to blog these days. Anyway, the holidays are supposedly here. However, us sec3s still have to come back for 2 weeks of extended curriculum, like duh. It's rather annoying I must say, but it's not so bad actually. 2 weeks is very short.

A7X concert was amazing to the max! :) Though I had like bruises and I fell -.- Hey, I'm only 15. There's always a first time for everything. Right? And I realise that watching a live concert instantly makes one "high" for some reason. (without the help of beer,drugs etc.) I know I was.

Okay, Pelegong was awesome!!!!!!!!!! I miss that place. Kinda reminded me a bit of my kampong. When I was there, most of the time I didn't feel that I was overseas. Maybe it was because of the fact that it's a Malay country and also cos I was surrounded by my friends.

Maybe I'll post the pics next time, when I'm not lazy. I need help, serious seh. You know why? Cos I'm losing my touch. My blog posts are crap!

Till then guys!

P.S. If it has to happen it'll happen. (I am extremely random)

Ika, Biding Ink.

No shocker there.

EOY results are out. Except for combined humans. So far, the results are fucked up. Thankfully I am somewhat mentally prepared for it. I keep telling myself : "I'm so going to screw up for this eoy". My instincts are unfortunately right. It's not about having a negative mindset or anything, it's just about facing reality. And the reality is, my eoy sucks, BIG TIME. I know people are telling me NOT to talk about my results cos obviously I would feel more depressed than I already am. But blogging about it serves as an outlet for me to let go of my increasing worry for whether or not I would make it to Sec4.

1) Bio wasn't a surprise. I seriously didn't study much for it. So, yeap, MY FAULT.

2) I'm quite shocked/happy about my chem. I got like 49. Okay, I know I still failed it, but hey, I didn't study. I expected like 20+ or 30+. If only I studied, once again, MY FAULT.

3) A Maths, need I say it? Majority failed anyway.

4) My Emath was NEVER strong. Emphasis on the NEVER, people.

5) Geog is just URGHHH. I stupidly (under the influence of panic/stress/tension) left two 6 mark qn blank. And I didn't listen to two very essential tips given to me.

6) EL Compre was fucked up. The marking was irritatingly strict!

7) HMT is alright. My only secured A so far. How pathetic.

8) SS and History papers have yet to be given out. My last hope.

I heard that CA1 and CA2 is 15% each. Followed by MYE which is 25% and EOY which is 45%.

And this point of time, I can only rely on my CAs and my MYE to save me from my turmoil.
I knew this was coming so at least I'm not terribly shattered or anything. Heard many others screwed up too. It's either MYE is good and EOY sucks (like me that is), or both sucks, or MYE is ok-ok and EOY sucks, etc.

I shall shut my trap and not tell my parents anything until I get the report book. You know, when everything is added up and when your results don't look so bad anymore. Yeah, that's the time.

Shit, suddenly I feel like a dumb ass.

If it's just another phase, I'm shooting ME.

Wed, 15 Oct 2008 02:03:34 GMT

Hola people! Exams are over and I'm at a lost. I don't know what to do, haha. It's like what I always say, 'we humans are never satisfied'.

Mini Raya gathering at Afiah's house on Monday was nice. Her mom's cooking was awesome. Shahirah was getting on my nerves. No surprise there. And best of all, Ashiqa and I watched White Chicks! Haha, okay I know it's like so loser to still be watching such an old movie, but if it makes us happy, so why not? :D

Okay, been spending the past few days out. Yesterday was just hilarious and dumb. I felt like a criminal to tell you the truth. Okay, more like just running away from the authorities. Not that I committed any crime or anything, lol.

Today me and my dear girl friends are going to Mr. Halim's house for Raya. It is quite a waste going to just one house when you're already all dressed up, but it's alright. :D

I think I'm seriously losing my touch. It's like I don't know what to blog about anymore. I need help!

P.S. Do I really sound/look/seem very emotioness these days? Hmmm.

Ika, Biding Ink.

got me hypnotised;

Fri, 10 Oct 2008 12:08:33 GMT

END-OF-YEAR EXAMINATIONS are officially over.
I can finally breathe!

For some reason I feel that I may screw up for this eoy. But, what the heck, it's too late to do anything about it anyway. I did try my best, I hope :S

This past week felt like it passed by extremely SLOWLY. It's painful, I must say. But at the same time, it was great at certain points.

Forcing a shitload of info into my brain didn't give me the slightest second to realise that it's still HARI RAYA! Haha!

Oh crap, I have nothing to blog about. I drained all my brain cells during the exams. Sorry people. Maybe some other time.

Till then,
Ika, Biding Ink.

Go wtih the flow.
