MOVED!

I know, that's fantastic!

FANTASTIC NEWS #1 :
My SPM examinations are over! No more studying! Well, not till 15th of February 2007 anyway. And I'll be in Australia, sadly.

FANTASTIC NEWS #2 :
I have moved to a new blog. Who knows if it's gonna be better, but it certainly can't be worse eh?XD

FANTASTIC NEWS #3 :
I will be able to blog everyday now. It only remains to be seen if I'll really blog.

FANTASTIC NEWS #4 :
I'll be off to Pulau Langkawi, Genting Highlands and Kuala Lumpur on the 8th at midnight. Without chaperones! Hah. Take that!

Okayy, being silly. I REEEEAAAALLLLYYYY need a bath. Excuse me.

And oh. Yes.

NEW BLOGOSPHERE :

CLICK ME CLICK ME!

With many many loves,
Katie ( Yes. I am getting used to the sound before I leave to a place where the angmohs pronounce HUI YI as hoi-yeh. SADLY.)

PS. If the blog isn't up, I'm probably bathing at the mo. Patience patience.

exams should be outlawed.

2006-10-07T02:01:00.000-07:00

Recent exams have got me thinking that if I had a government, what ruls would I set down for the population?

Well, my population is going to be made out of students who don't enjoy school that much ONLY. All those who love studying, basically nerds and geeks need not apply, unless and until they learn to dislike school.

I would like to add that I do not necessarily dislike school. It's just the early waking hours and long studying hours that drive me mad O.O

A recap of my Trial Examination (that's like prelims in s'pore) results.
They sucked the bag.

Malay - 1A
English - 1A
Modern Maths - 1A
Additional Maths - 3B o.o
Biology - 5C o.o
Physics - 6C O.O
Chemistry - 3B o.o
Moral Studies - 1A
History - 2A
Literature in English - 1A
English for Science and Tech - 1A

Those with o.o and O.O mark a very bad result. My physics!

Needless to say, I won't be doing anything that has ANYTHING to do with Physics.

To continue with my plans for a Hui Yi-run country and population.

LAWS OF HUI YI LAND

1. All students are to attend school, it is COMPULSORY. However, they learn interesting subjects such as "Blogging 101", "How To Keep Your Mum From Discovering Your Secrets", "Football For Dummies", "Maximising Your MSN Usage", "How To Organise and iTunes and/or Download Music Illegally", "Selecting Cheaper Branded Clothes(this includes brands like Prada, Louis Vuitton and Chanel)", "Analaysing Romantic Comedies".... so on and so forth.

2. Students need not study for exams, as exams only test general knowledge and brainpower. Sorta like an IQ and EQ test.

3. School hours shall last from 10am until 3pm. Of course, there's an hour for a lunch break and it does not have to be on school grounds.

4. Also, all animals should be allowed to wander around with you in shopping malls.

5. Couch potato-ing will become an official religion.

6. Parents who nag will be grounded for three months. AND denied usage of their car.

Until I think of more...

of narcissm and self-obsession

2006-07-21T03:17:00.000-07:00

Welcome back to me after a few weeks of not blogging. I switch on the computer, open Blogger, and stare at a blank page before finally clicking the red 'X' at the top right-hand corner. Maybe some sort of Blogger's virus=x

My current favourite word is "LA-LA".
Definition of la-la :
Ah lian-ish. Lala-ism!=D

Anyway, I'm here to blog about Menghong's incredible birthday party!

OUCH.

Okay, so it wasn't THAT incredible. But it was enjoyable. ENOUGH.

Snaps from the night!

The birthday boy and I. We've known each other since Standard 5. So that makes a grand total of.. oh, 6 and a half years! Thanks for putting up with me all the time, you're one of the few guys I truly trust! And also, thanks for always letting me bully you, such as ferrying me to tuitions, and carrying my heavy books after Literature class!=D (I would also like to point out that you look toot here, but what else is new?)

Khai and I. We look a LITTLE bit alike. He's a big mouth freak!XD Surprised that I look pretty good after ONE shot. It usually takes a little more than that -____-

Three of the Femme Fatales and Menghong. Jolwee was absent, SOBS! What can I say, we all love pattern-ing!

My few good guy friends. I know, Menghong is zilian. If you can just look past his face to the other guys, none of them are for saleXD Clockwise from top left, William, Kayvin, Neo, Zili, Dhiraj and big mouth Khai. Gosh, I will miss all of you guys when I'm gone!

So, A-Day is drawing nearer. Of course there's E-Day before that.

Katie's Jargon :
A-Day " Australia Day, meaning, the day I leave for Australia to further my studies.
E-Day " Examination Day. As in, the SPM examinations. Gulp.

But enough about that. Another few photos to keep us ALL entertained.

A BIGASS photo of Jess to keep ... satisfied. And also, thanks for reading my blog always (:

The two OLDER sisters in our gang, sorry they're taken!

And ohyeah, another BIGASS photo of me. What can I say, the title said it all!

I'm so sorry that I haven't been updating lately. I owe a thanks to Chareli for giving something to start off with. Computer time has been limited and all that.

Which brings me to the topic.

DEATH.

Don't you think it's easy for another person to tell you, Hai-yah, death comes for all of us at some time or another what.. Don't be sad. In reality, when you've suffered a loss, that particular sentence won't help.

My dad's best friend passed away last Sunday night, at the hale and hearty age of 50. He was on his weekly 20-mile bike ride, when 100metres from his house, he died instantly of a heart attack. It was unbelievable and unfathomable to all of us, as he was the healthiest man I've ever met!

I've known him since I was a baby, he's been with my family from 20 years ago. He watched my sisters and I grow up, but sadly, he'll never get to see us marry, or have babies. He came over to my house every morning and every night to have breakfast and dinner with my dad. He's become a regular fixture in my house, and it's difficult to accept the fact that he's gone. He takes us to tuition when my dad goes out of town, and he even comes over to check on us occassionally. At his funeral, I caught sight of his car parked in front of the funeral parlour, and I broke down. All of us felt the loss terribly, my mum, my sisters, and most of all, my dad.

How would you feel if you unexpectedly lost your best friend of 20 years without having a chance to say goodbye? My point is, "Life is short and sweet, make the most of it while you can" may be a cliche, but it is undoubtedly true.

In loving memory of a great man, you'll never be gone from our hearts.

something quite stupid really. Neglected my photoshop as wellX( Thanks for the inspiration, Michelle!

Temporary layout for the moment. I was getting tired of the "liquid dreams" comments that I kept receiving. Time to put it up on Blogskins huh?

Nothing to say. I need time to revamp my blog AND my thoughts. Rearranging takes time. A thought-provoking question is on its way!

TOMORROW.

For now, visit Kaigee's blog!

Goodbye and good riddance to bad rubbishXD

haircuts and shouting

2006-06-04T21:55:00.000-07:00

Hello again. Looks like this time I haven't been blogging about serious topics anymore eh? Oh well, we'll get back to those after this last oneXD

Firstly.

THANKYOU to everyone who rated. My skins are at number 1 and 5! Not bad for a first time blogskinner! ^^

(( Sorry, I'm just feeding my ego over here. ))

Secondly.

I had a fun outing with Tingxin and Jessica last night. We went to get our hair cut. After cutting, I thought I looked cool. Went home and bathed, and realised that I looked like a hairless freak if I didn't wax my hair!

PICTURES!

Sorry. Narcissists will be narcissists=D

We had fun with this picture, as Jess looked like a ghost. Oh rest assured, you look much better now!

Oh Jessica, you're too cute too resist!XD

And finally! My beautiful waxed hair. As opposed to this :

EWWWWW!

If you're wondering about the meaning of copykate and copykatie, wonder no more.

Copykate happens to be Kate's favourite word. So, she insists on calling me
copykatie. LAME, I know.

Feeling very random and confused today. Just blogging to meet the quota. New layout up soon!

screamscream!

2006-06-02T07:33:00.000-07:00

Doraaaa~ I would like to EXPLAIN myself. The reason I'm not blogging is, no visitors. No visitors = no blogging. Stupid theory huh? Which is why I'm blogging now. To make you happy :D

My topic for today, my screamscream partner and me!

MICHELLE AND HUIYI'S OUTING

To tell the truth, Michelle and I are the two biggest football freaks ever. When it comes to every single Manchester United and Chelsea player, we're your girls! Whether it's their strengths or weaknesses, or their handsome-ness and hot-ness *wink, wink* Michelle and I can be called uponXD

Michelle and I are close friends with many of High School's football players. So when we heard that the guys were going to have a tournament with the Malay guys, we jumped at the chance to finally watch them in action.

A RECAP.

7.00am - Turn off my handphone's alarm clock and curse Michelle for forcing me to wake up so early. Took a little snooze for the moment. Ponder over what to wear to a smelly field full of sweaty guys. Finally decide on a big T-shirt and shorts. Seems like the safest bet.

8.00am - Michelle arrives to pick me up. We're off! I still hadn't forgiven Michelle for making me wake up at the crack of dawn!

8.10am - Arrive there to find that none of the guys had arrived. Went to Michelle's friend's house nearby to hide.

9.00am - Hid all the way up to this time! Stupid guys who aren't punctual.

9.10am - Finally. There's some action. We get to the football field. The guys are there. Something interesting finally happens.

The guys... They have a little practice session first. 4 on 4. One side was wearing white, and the other side was wearing red. Michelle and I decided to alternate between cheering. She cheered for red, I cheered for white. And about five minutes later, vice versa. It got a little confusingXD

9.30am - The guys decide that they need their strength to win the tournament. And obviously, they needed to show off in front of girls=) What do you think guys are for? William and Neo walk to the buildings nearby. Zili went a little later, so Michelle and I just followed him like little ducks trailing after their mother.

9.35am - Zili shouts furiously into MY phone.

Where are you guys leh?! Lost already is it?

He got the coordinates of our meeting place. Arrived at a tiny kopitiam where William and Neo were drinking MILO. Breakfast of champions eh? ^^ Funnily enough, the other guys seemed to have disappeared totally.

9.40am - Michelle and I realized that we didn't have a single cent between us. That's what we get for leaving our money at her friend's house. We insist that William pay for our drinks, and him being the un-gentleman that he is, very firmly refused. In the end, all the drinks were paid by Neo. Thank you! =)

9.45am - In between drinking, we chat. That was a seriously fun time. Except for William saying that I'm fatter than him. That is one BLIND guy.

10.00am - Finally the tournament is starting. Michelle and I can't seem to find a good spot. And the guys' novelty at seeing girls has kinda worn off XD

10.10am - It begins! Well, really, there's nothing much we can say about the actual tournament. Except for all the screaming. And screaming. And screaming! We went crazy shouting Kayvin! Zili! Zili! Kayvin! William! Bengchun! William! NEO! Hahaha. That was fun. Michelle's got a good shouting voice=pPp

10.45am?? - Halftime. The guys are seriously sweaty at this point. They take off their shirts! Which is not as cool as it sounds, because these guys don't have six packs! Abs, not beer -_-

Halftime score : 0-0

11.00am?? - Continue playing. Cool. Screaming screaming. Argh. All the screaming.

In fact, it would take me forever to get through half the day. Let me just highlight the important points XD

HIGHLIGHTS

# The score at the end of the game was 0-0. The guys were held to a draw, because they were too tired to continue playing. Those Malays were rough!
# Zikhai, being the bad guy that he is, sat on a little Malay boy's bicycle and started showing off with it. Serves him right that he nearly fell down. To add insult to injury, the little boy came and grabbed the bike from Zikhai and wheeled it to a safer spot. We nearly DIED laughing.
# Michelle and I went to eat after the game. We didn't get a treat from the guys, even though we screamed our heads off! Unfair unfair. While eating some horrible food, a text message came on my phone.

WILLIAM
Picture me sweating.

All of us thank you for coming to support us but finally we cannot win this match beautifully. At least draw lah. Pass this to Michelle also.

Passed my phone to Michelle and she started laughing her head off.What an UN-typical William message. His messages usually go this way.

Walao, you so ugly, you walk home very safe lah. No one will catch you.

WHAT A CHANGE.

So abnormal eh. Sounds so serious.
# Michelle and I lost our voices. But we still talked so much on the way home! What else would you expect from girl football supporters huh.

Pictures of our dayoutt!-*

ONE MORE IMPORTANT THING.

Kayvin was not at the coffeeshop because he was helping Lee Poh with header training. Congrats to Kayvin for being so good! (:

smellysneakers, GONE!

2006-05-26T21:16:00.000-07:00

No more smelly sneakers for me! toying with bluesneakers but decided there was no OOMPH to it. So, instead of bluesuedeshoes (elvis presley's finest, for your information) it's bluesoccershoes-.blogspot.com for me! For origins of this name, please check out the column on the left. Many thanks. And welcome back to me! :D

CONTINUED

Holidays are fun eh? Enjoyable.. Although I can't imagine the thought of spending two weeks at home! Michelle and I are planning a secret rendezvous to go spy on the guys while they're playing football tomorrow. How typical of us. DEVIOUSNESS.

Sorry for this horrible blogskin. I know, I know, not up to my usual standards! Decided to make this temporary layout so that I could blog. I miss blogging!

Have revamped nearly everything I own. My Internet assets ^^ That would mean Blogspot and Friendster, which now features Kirsten Dunst. Something Meng Hong said to me the other day really cracked me up. He said,

Isn't Halle Berry white? You know, the girl who played Mary-Jane in Spiderman?

Picture me rolling my eyes and laughing the hair off my head.

A random post for my un-hiatus-ing. Dora, I'm waiting....!
