Boys Over Flowers. Girls Over ...?

Yay! At last finals are over. This also mean that my diploma is over too and that is only if I passed all my papers this sem.

*fingers crossed*

At the moment, I'm just addicted to the Korean drama Boys Over Flowers on 8TV. Kim Hyun Joong as Yoon Ji Hoo is so cool and Kim Sang Bum as So Yi Jung is so cute. Aiguu.

Besides that, I'm looking forward to meet my darling this Thursday and also the Malacca 2d1n trip this weekend. Woohoo.

I still haven't make a concrete decision on which uni to go to for my degree :( I'm just not in the mood to think of it right now since exam just over today.

My plans for this holiday is to go out, out, and out, go sign up for the 2 weeks trial in Celebrity Fitness, sleep, and watch the idiotic box at home.

Oh, I need to catch up with my story books too. My dearrie books, I'm sorry I've abandoned you guys for quite some time. I'll have some bonding period with you guys soon aite. Till then, back to Boys Over Flowers.
Toodles :)

Congrats to LITTLE GEE =D

Sorry to my dear readers for neglecting my blog for some time. This is because I’m sitting for my finals now. I have just completed my Company Law paper this morning. It was awesome. Hopefully I can get an A *wink wink*

Anyway, the reason I’m blogging now is because I want to share good news with you guys. Few months back, my team, LITTLE GEE which consists of my sis (Nikita), my friends (Mun Ya and Chloe), and myself entered the Sunsilk Blog 2 Paris contest. All we have to do is just blog, get people to vote for our blog, and get people to use the Watson RM2 voucher to purchase Sunsilk products so that our sales points will accumulate. After we do so, Mun Ya, as our model spokesperson received a call from the organizer saying that we’re in the top 20.

Weeks after only we actually started voting that’s why we were o far away from the 1st team who got A LOT of votes. I spent almost an hour or 2 on the day that I got go online to enter my friends email addresses one by one for Sunsilk to send them the voting link. I knew many of them wouldn’t log in to the main page themselves because it load SO SLOW therefore; I sacrifice my time to slowly key in one by one and all they need to do was to check their email, click the link, and done. My mom did the same too. She helped to key in a few of her colleagues email for us. So, from the 14th or 15th place out of the 20 blogs, we manage to climb up to the 9th place. That is because the teams in front of us stopped voting (thankfully). When we were at the 9th place, the 8th place team also continues to vote so we didn’t manage to catch up.

Anyhow, on Monday (7/12/09) while in the bus on the way back after exam, Mun Ya again received a call from the organizer saying that we’re in the TOP 10. Oh dear, this feel so great. BUT, when she checked her email, guess what?!?! We have to prepare a 5 mins presentation on either ‘What we learn about 1 min to great hair?’ or ‘How would we promote Sunsilk if we win the trip to Paris?’ and we had to present it on THURSDAY together with other teams.

First of all, we had to find a new member due to some reasons. So I called Wai May thinking she could help but she couldn’t because she had voluntary work to do that day. Then, Mun Ya called her friend, Pei Wen, to help. She said must see first but again, thankfully she agreed to help us out. We needed someone who can give a kick-ass presentation and I think Mun Ya found the right one . So on Tuesday, Mun Ya, my sis, and I actually came up with ideas but then it didn’t seem so right. I told her what my mom suggested and she told us what she thought. We have the starting and ending but the content seems to be empty. Then, on the same day itself, Mun Ya and Pei Wen came up with a new idea.

On Wednesday morning, my sis & I went to Mun Ya’s house and we discussed about it. It was a simple yet clear presentation to me. So we stick to that idea. We googled for pictures and find for songs in YouTube and also trying to see what can we add into our presentation. Around noon, Pei Wen came to join us. She is such a funny girl and I really mean it. We discussed until one part, Pei Wen fell asleep and made everyone so sleepy too. After the discussion, we did our rehearsal, slideshows, etc till around 8pm. Got home, packed ready everything and get my good sleep.

Here comes D Day. Mun Ya and I had class in the morning so we attended as usual but left early after we got our tips for next week exam. Then, there came the BAD NEWS!! Mun Ya told me something. It was a freaking f***ing nightmare for me. The dress which I wore for the presentation was stained with my period. It was f***ing embarrassing and it happened in school for the FIRST time of my 20 years of life. I went to the toilet, tried to wash it with tissue but it didn’t go off. So I called my mom but she couldn’t leave the office to go home and get me clothes (great right?). So I was stucked in the toilet with Mun Ya and Suyin. Then, my sis came because our plan was to go to Lot 10 together with Pei Wen and Pek Lim (Mun Ya’s friend & our team supporter). How now? Should I go to Sg Wang to get my clothes? I’m doubting VERY much because the clothes there are 95% la-la and so not my style (no offence).

I had no choice so I told Mun Ya to follow Pei Wen’s car to Lot 10 first and I go get my clothes and will take public transport there ourselves. We’re supposed to be at Lot 10 around 12pm for rehearsal and it was already 10.30 so I said it’s better we both late then the whole team late. Then Suyin was very kind to drop my sis & I at the entrance of The Curve instead of the bus stop. In my mind was to go to B.O.S or F.O.S or Nichii. I was quite sure I could get it in either one of these. So we headed to F.O.S first but I couldn’t find anything smart casual and nice in there. Quickly, we left the place and straight away head to Nichii. My sis went to the left and me to the right. I needed something with a touch of pink. My eyes spotted on a dress worn by the mannequin and I told myself I think I’m just gonna get that.

I went searching for the dress but couldn’t find then I showed it to my sis and she already got it in her hand. Whoa! Great mind think alike . So I went to the fitting room, tried all 3 dresses and still the one I saw is the one I chose. We went to the cashier, paid the money (THANKFULLY again it has 30% disc so it was only RM42), rushed back to the fitting room, and quickly changed. I came out, look in the mirror and said something is missing. It was too plain so I needed a belt. Luck was on my side again. My sis found a black belt which was simple and nice. There was only 10% disc but I still have to grab it. So my sis paid for me first, I wore it and we rushed to the bus stop.

We took a bus to Asia Jaya LRT, from there took to KL Central LRT, and then monorail to Bukit Bintang station. Then, we rushed again to the salon in Sungei Wang to wash my hair because I woke up with a bad-hair-day. We had problem searching for Kim Marie because the place is so confusing. Found it at last and we just enter without thinking much of the price as we were rushing. So I told the stylist to just wash my hair, no need to massage and all. Maybe he’s new so he moved a little slow but he was very nice so I just kept quiet.

Then, again we rushed to the place where the grand finale is going to be held which is Level 8 (rooftop), ROOTZ, Lot 10. Got our things from Pei Wen, rushed to the toilet, my sis changed and I put on my makeup. Then mommy (our supporter too) reached and found us in the toilet. When we were almost done Mun Ya called and ask us to go up cause they want to do the briefing soon. It was already around 3pm that time. They reached around 12pm also they wasn’t any rehearsal because the organizer haven’t finish setting up the place.

So we just sat around, talking, and talking. Then the bartender served red wine so we just took. We were curious actually because the email there said no alcohol is served but we just took and drink. Then later only Rachel came up and asked who gave us the drink and we said the bartender then she told us it was only for the VIP. So the bartender took it back. Luckily all of us did drink some before they took it away. Around 5 something the event started. Our team was the first to present. It was ok but it didn’t go so smooth because we didn’t have tables, and there were only 2 microphones instead of 4. Apparently, for the FIRST time also, I wasn’t really nervous up on stage. Mommy said it was because of the alcohol. Jonathan actually told me that before too and well, maybe it is really because of the alcohol .

We were a little ‘kelam-kabut’ up there because when Pei Wen and Mun Ya went behind to change I had to look for the mic. Aiyo. Then my sis forgot 2-3 lines of her speech. I had to say softly on the mic to remind her. Don’t know the judges got hear or not. LOL! Another part that didn’t go well was the slideshow. Actually we want to end it with Tommi from below snapping a pic of us when we go down the stage and the slideshow will show the 4 of us in Paris but it came out too early. So, most probably everyone will be wondering why we went down the stage for .

Anyway, people clapped their hands when they saw the picture of us with the Eiffel Tower behind so ok lah! After the first 4 teams performed, there was performance by the Urban Groove. Then, continued with the last 4 teams. The 2 other teams couldn’t make it so there was only 8 teams that evening. 1 team by the name Shiny Girls 4 really did a good job. They made a fairytale story yet it was something fresh and new and nice. There was one part where the background was a fairy Godmother talking and the girl lip-syncs with it. It looks so real.

After seeing their presentation, I know we won’t be able to make it to Paris already . But in my mind there was hope for us to either get the 1st or 2nd placing. Mommy said maybe 2nd or 3rd placing. So, Liang as the emcee announced the 3rd placing first. The 3rd place was won by Dramatic Dos. Then, he said
“The 2nd place goes to….DJ, can you turn off the music…the 2nd place goes to…” When he said that, I told Pei Wen, “Later if he announced our team name we scream ya?” And Liang said “Goes to….LITTLE GEEEEEE” I was like “OMG! OMG! We won 2nd place. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!” And we went to stage to collect our prize which is RM1000 and Sunsilk products. WWWWWWWAAAAAAAA….So exited.

Next is the climax. Who’s going to win the 1st place and the Grand Prize (a 4 days trip to Paris)? Then Liang called the two teams up which was Shiny Girls 4 and Hoshi. From there it was so obvious who’s going to win the trip already. Like I said, after the presentation itself we ourselves knew their going to win and indeed Shiny Girls 4 won it. CONGRATULATIONS! You guys deserve the prize but then CONGRATS to my own team too!! Thank you for your co-operation and teamwork although I almost choke and die in Mun Ya house while eating ‘hung dao sui’ (not gonna elaborate on that ^.^) The one thing that I’m NOT so satisfy is that I think we deserve the 1st prize more from all the point seen by the judges. They were a little bias (no offence).

In conclusion, although it is just 2nd prize, I think we are all happy because we already did our best and all these came up in only ONE DAY! *clap clap clap*
Pic very blur. Will try to get the clearer ones from Tommi after exam :)

There is another contest that we’re going to join after our last day of exam. Again we need a team of 4 so most probably we’ll remain as a team again. Hopefully this one we can win the Grand Prize lah! We want to travellllllllllllllllll………….GOOD LUCK TO US! Now back to study for the last 2 LAN subjects. Gambateh nicoley :)

TRANSLATIONS

*Wedding dress*

I would argue
Then you would cry
As you're struggling, I would only get stronger
My heartaches behind these shadows
My face brightens up as I see your smile
I worry that you might notice my feelings
And I get scared that the gap between us would widen
I hold my breath
Then I bite my lips
Then I pray that she would leave him.

Once the music ends, you'll be with him forever
I prayed and prayed that this day wouldn't come
The wedding dress you once wore
The wedding dress you once wore
The wedding dress you once wore

You, who never understood my feelings
I despited you so much
So much, to the point I sometimes would wish a misfortune upon you
But now, my eyes are dry
Now I am talking to myself, it must be an old habbit
Every night I would look at myself
And wonder how it turned out like this
I would close my eyes
Then I dream an endless dream
Then I pray she would leave him.

By all means, be happy with him
So I can move on
Please erase me out of your heart
Although I tried my best but, no oh~

I've been living the lies for too long
Yet, she would look at me and smile.
