The Path Not Taken

"Dream what you want to dream; Go where you want to go; Be what you want to be;Because you have only one life and once chance to do all the things you want to do"
-Unknown

Easier said than done. Don't you agree? hmm

I am a person who love all the thrills and exhilaration of performing-being in the spotlight, acknowledged and noticed

Ballet

Rhythmic gymnastics

Figure skating

Synchronised swimming

Cheer leading

These are all what I had always wanted be part of ever since...forever. Too date, some I managed to achieve and some...no luck.

But what you never had will never hurt you right?

By the time I was given the chance, I had to prioritise. And giving up a cheer leading audition, quiting ballet after 11 years is part of it. But sometimes I wonder, did I make the right choice?

One things for certain, I will take up figure dancing in the future- ice dancing. But I think I'll stay away from pair skating. You don't want to know why.

Maybe I should take Latin or Salsa or modern dance or...

I AM a girl with many interest after all XD

I don't know what to say~

Harry Potter is back in town and I'm really excited actually. And even more so when Carmen agreed too.
But going on movies on Thursday is not a very good idea~It will earn me a nice good spank instead XD So we've decided to go that weekend. It was really last minute and we were lucky we managed to book earlier.


See~~We got really good seats. We even went there an hour earlier just to get them. So meanwhile...LUNCH~!!

Actually we planned to eat at Sushi King~ Their udon is *yum~*(well I haven't ate any other before XD Loyal customer right? Not really =P)


But somehow or another we ended up here~~(The queue at Sushi King was 30 minutes long)


The food there was quite good. I ordered Sakana Ramen and I didn't know what Sakana is until the bowl came =P (Sakana is fish BTW)
Just one thing,honestly, I was quite surprised that her parents came along XD

Okay the movie~~

The movie was great..Some scenes like Tom Riddle's childhood, the part after Dumbledore drank the potion was just like I've imagined from the book.I was amased at the effects but I was dissapointed that they skimmed through and changed certain parts.

Though I really liked thepart when Ron ate Harry's love potion tainted chocolates and went moony. Oh and I really hate Lavender.

The movie went well but two times the screen went black just for a few seconds. I don't know what happened but I expected better from GSC. *sigh*

With a few minutes to spare~One pic for the album.


Cheras Leisure Mall- Dated 18th July 2009.

AFS 2nd Round~~

Actually I was going to post about the lame anti-dadah week at my school (I had quite a lot to say XD)...but I think It sort of got hijacked because...Tada *drumrolls*

A second round of grueling afs Interview~!! It was the first time that I've ever gotten this far...so I hope that lady luck will continue to shine on me all the way.

This time I had to fill up a detailed booklet ranging from personal statement to health certificates (I have to get a REAL physcian to sign)...parental authorization + academic stuff and even photos.

I hope that I do well~~Its a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

Well I have to go (to fill up everything)~~ BTW I'm going to watch Harry Potter tomorrow~!! (Yay~) Blog post comming soon

Capitol Night~~

You know what...Capitol Hotel is Awsome~!! for a 3-star Hotel. I would certainly recomend it to everyone after that lovely stay there =D

Isn't it crazy staying in a hotel a few km away XD

Anyway my dad had a complementary stay coupon and days ago he'd JUST realised it was going to expire like say...THIS MONTH XD Sooo...a couple of frenzy phone calls and with lady luck we manage to secure two rooms for one night~!! (Yay~~)

But on our way there, (Its not really my nature to curse people but still...) this blasted + idiotic + dumbass + has-a-death-wish-looking-for-trouble guy...


And his stupid + ugly (why red~?? Anyone who owns this type of car should not feel offended because this is directed at HIM) car


Banged/grazed our car...His car has practically almost NO damage (Its his fault) and he is making a big hell of a fuss (Hellooo we're at the golden triangle then and he is causing a jam) claims that its expensive etc bla bla bla. As if our car did not take any damage.

He called his friend and ask us to drive to HIS workshop. Yeah RIGHT cantik muka. If we go to his FRIEND's workshop we would get ripped of for a SIMPLE paint job. To a workshop he was tailing our car REALLYY close like we would run away (how do you escape from people in a traffic jam~?? *smiles sweetly*)*sigh*

Argh the hotel almost released our rooms to the public because they thought we're not coming~Lets move on~~

I have to admit, from the outside of the Capitol, It dosen't look like the best of accomodation. But I mst say I was impressed ^^

The theme there is seems was modern-contemporary, simplistic + chic. It wasn't those fancy place with lots of frills and statues etc.


This is our room. Though I was impressed...this place dosen't offer you the best view. All you will see there is rooftops...more rooftops and high rise buildings



Everything here was adequate and comfy. The only thing I had to complain about was their Wifi services. We brought TWO laptops and cannot use them because they requested for additional RM 25 for internet. >(

Oh and I absolutely LOVE their toilets =P


Well its not everyday you see a shower with glass door XD



The breakfast buffet was great for a 3-star accomodation. I couldn;t take much picture because the security guard was staring at me XD But still~~


The food there was great. there was a great variety and selection. Only one thing...I couldn't find any soya sauce or tomato sause there...Strange



The corridor of our rooms... Its quite darkly lit even during the night there probably to save electricity


By 10 am, we blah from the hotel~~ And go back to our usual routine...I wished I could stay there longer

Missing The Fun

I know I should be posting this a long time ago...

Talk about missing out on the good stuffs~~Friends taking pics with Jien (I wished I could do that since last year *sigh*)

All the action and blitz of the second day(following through twitter isnt quite the same)~~And I certainly won't miss all the troubles trying to get these pics~~

These photos are courtesy of a great friend (you know who you are~~) who became my camera there.

So this post is dedicated to display her lovely photos as thanks. (or they will be wasted and never see the light of day)

These are some of her best pics

Calyx~love this pic



Stunners...



Titans~~still love their cheer routine XD



Adele, sister team to Xavier



Forgot what team is this *thinking* but they remind me of antelopes...no bad feelings



The Teh-tarik dance routine~!! well it seems like that to me =P


Woah~cool stunts



Orriginally I intended to insert clips of videos from cheer but I had some "technical difficulties" So pictures will have to do.

Cheer 2009 Day 1~ [edited]

"Cheer ony ma~~You went last year rite?"

Or so they say...But this time, I'm part of the reporting crew for The Star BRATs. When my people heard that they were like "w0ah~~"

I mean being a spectator is fun and all but hey, being part of the crew gives you acess to "restricted area" and that alone is half the fun =P


We even got to go SUPER close to the cheerleader's in action to take awsome close up pics...



The first thing we were assigned was to get to know the teams. Walking around, I was stopped by Blitzer's supporters sporting cute hair band thingy. I think they are one of the future BRATs~~


Snapping away I saw this cheerleader limping~ Then a friend said that she fell earlier that day. It was then I felt that cheerleaders are very dedicated. They put their hard work into it~Practicing for as many as 6-7 hours for some of the teams daily~expecially when Cheer competition is drawing near.


Met an old friend there~~My primary school mate. We haven't seen each other in like say 4 years...And I must say she has changed alot...or was it me who didn't change~??


Lunch break, BRATs crew went hunting for BRATs very own chearleader Michelle~!! We even did a mock interview: "We are of The Star BRATs..."


Jien was "bullying" Shirtlift's mascot...XD



Janice interviewing Muriel's (my school) captain and co-captain for 'Talking Heads'


Anyway, when it was almost turn for Muriel and sister team Dazzle to perform, the supporters sort of multiplied...Look here~~This is BEFORE..


And this is AFTER...

Amazing right~~Quite surprised that there were this many Muriel supporters...on a Saturday too. Hope that they will be here tomorrow.

Waiting for lunch break to be over...We apprehended this "innocent" Dynamitez mascot. And that leads to...Camwhoring in midst of work~!! Then again our shifts are over.


Its not everyday you get to see a guy do this~~


Falling asleep in the middle of a Cheer routine~?? Nah~~=P


More impressive lucky shots unedited. Some of the photos were ruined because of the bad lighting, slow shutter speed etc.






Jien an Jeremy announcing top 15. The atmosphere was...well everyone is waiting in anticipation~~


And when Muriel and Dazzle were not in the Top 15...They were quite disapointed.




Tada~!! As usual what is BRATs without more camwhoring~~~


I'm tired and I have school~~ My feet are dead from all the walking. Even when my shifts is 9am - 2pm It seems that the concept of shifts went down the drain the moment you step foot there.

Check out day 2 at cheer! Coming soon~

BRATs Videos

W00t~Finally after so long~Our sweat, tears and death... Team Banana's video assignments are up on youtube~!!

This is what we did on our second day~~

BRATs on the Streets



~~Third day...

Old School Drummers




I was glad that they didn't edit much~^^ Go Team Banana

Sushi Party~~

*Memories* This is a not-so-recent event~~But I'll blog it anyway. Actually I meant to blog quite a while ago but somehow various things cropped up (see previous blog =D)

This Sushi party thing was just a random idea by us (me and Ka-tan) who wanted to:

a) eat sushi



b) make sushi



c) hang out at Jun's house



It wasn't even supposed to be a surprise birthday till we learned that Qi-chans birthday was 2 days prior to our party...

It was a fiasco. While buying ingredients a bottle of soya sauce I brought from home leaked and my whole bag and everything in it (camera, purse, handphone) stank of it. Ka-chan and Jun was running around helping me with my contaminated items. (Thats why I don't have photos of the Jusco shopping incident)

Lesson 1: Never have soya sauce in your bag~~

Then we waited at 12.00pm under the hot hot hot sun for my mom who never arrived because she thought I had to call her first~~miscommunication... (The cake almost melted coz we had to wait 30minutes)

Lesson 2: Always confirm your plans with your parent...

After we finally arrived at Jun's house...We immedietely set out to work. While some of use were busy...


Others were munching faster than we can make them~ =D


Tada~~Done~FINALLY without too much casualty~!! Quite a feast~ But I think we bought too much ingredients and materials~~$$ wasted



This is Arthur...from Power Axis Hetalia~!! Though I don't know why Rin-chan spend so much time to make it. (All this while she only made one sushi..I think)


But before we eat...Surprise~!! We had a surprise birthday party.

Here she is wearing one of her birthday gifts~~

Before we went home~~We were given a momento handcrafted by Qi-chan and Jun. Arigato~~
