Ello!

I would like to tell you a story. About a certain incident that happened to me in kindergarten.
One kindy day, a girl from my class discovered we had the same water bottle. So we became 'best fwends'. She got me to sit with her in the 'Mommy and Daddy' transport line, but i had to wait in the 'School Bus' transport queue, as i used to go back by bus.

When my school bus fwends passed by, i happily waved them bye bye. LOL. Then my 'best fwend' left cos her mommy and daddy picked her up. Then i didn't know what to do. My kindy teachers called my grandparents up and they picked me up later.

Aah, good times :)

WooHoo!

I feel really sorry for 4-legged animals. Especially sheep.
I mean, they're head is at the same level as their rear ends. And sheep in a flock have to stay close together. They'd be practically sniffing each other's behinds the whole time! How sad is that??

I watched Sense and Sensibility on HBO today. There was a short scene with a flock of sheep. I noticed one sheep stopped abruptly, and the poor one behind it smashed it's nose against the other's behind. I couldn't stop laughing.

BLA

O my gosh. I was so cute! Yeah so were the other two.
In case you don't know, I'm the one in the middle. But you'd be a bit daft if you didn't know cos I'm the only one wearing a dress, and I'm the only girl as my siblings are all boys, and they can't wear dresses and only I can.

I like square glasses. Not spectacles, but the thing that holds your drink within a confined space.
It's easy to grip square glasses. Unlike the round ones, which slip from my fingers.

I get very annoyed when water vapours condense on glass. I have to keep wiping the water droplets off or else I won't be able to concentrate on eating, as I'd be thinking about the water droplets kissing my glass.

I had mentioned before that I very often think of something to blog about during the course of a day, then when I settle down to blog, my mind goes blank. So now I just put reminders on my phone whenever a get a burst of inspiration.

And now I remember!
WooHooo

Today I told myself that I will remain sober for as long as I live.
This Easter, the youths of my church put up an Easter skit. I played a drunkard. I had to hold this heavy Carlsberg beer bottle. Halfway through the skit, I had to put it down (to attack the girl haha).
Unfortunately, I had left it on stage (not intentionally!). So Pastor Roy was preaching with a huge beer bottle lying visibly behind him throughout the whole service.

Oh dear.

I'm sitting here on my Uncle's chair in my Uncle's room in my Uncle's house trying to blog, but the darn mosquitoes are attacking me, trying to stop me.
Well, you little Pests, I'm going to squash all of you and wipe your blood ALL OVER the desk. And none of your mosquito friends can attend the funeral cos they'll all be dead too.
My feet are starting to itch now, dang it.

My brother and I had a good laugh that day, when one of my other brothers started dialling some numbers into the phone using his head. Don't know why he decided to use his head. Maybe his fingers were dirty or he wanted to start a new way of dialling numbers.

We recorded it too. I'd upload it here but, being the kind sister i am, i thought I'd spare him from embarrasment.
I'll post it on Youtube instead BAHA

It's about time the billboard-changers start changing the billboards.
Some billboard ads are totally unnecessary here.
For example, along one highway (Federal, i think) there's a billboard advertising winter clothes - 'Moments of Warmth' - something like that.
I doubt we need winter clothes here in Malaysia. Unless we experience one of those days when the temperature drops drastically to an incredibly low 26 degrees. (:

A few days ago, I heard this girl on the radio sharing this piece of information with the listeners -
"Today is my one year anniversary with my ex-boyfriend".
Haha! I'm trying to figure out what that's supposed to mean.

1. Was it a year since she broke up with the fellow?
2. Was it a year since she's been with the guy, who previously happened to be her ex as well?

Dating seems complicated. How sad

I think that food can be related to different types of music. For example, when i hear Latin music I think of spicy (Mexican) food. Don't you think so?

Below is a short list of food and music I feel go hand-in-hand:

Rap - sizzling sausages. The oil that makes it sizzles reminds me of rappers spitting.
County Music - dairy products. Like cheese and milk
Pop - bubblegum and candy floss, obviously
British stuff - baked beans, peas, corn
Jazz - vegetables. I don't know why
Rock - Soothers and Strepsils

I had been wondering for quite some time, about a minute, why we don't make left U-turns. Only right U-turns. I just found out that we can't, because there won't be road to our left to turn into, as we drive on the left side of the road.
What a discovery! I mean, talk about deep thinking.

Okay, I need to work on my drawing skills (okay, develop some drawing skills)

Out with the old and in with the new. No more green glasses! WooHoo
Yep. It's been - too long. I got tired of people saying 'OMG, your glasses match the grass!' and 'Your glasses match your t-shirt! (if I'm wearing green)'. Now I've got subtle (some might say boring), half-rim, dark-green-it's-almost-black rim, a-bit-of-gold-at-the-sides glasses.

My green ones were a bit small. I thought it made my eyes look smaller. These new ones are bigger, so I feel that my eyes look bigger. The only thing is, the old pair hid the dark circles around my eyes. This one doesn't :(

Ah, good times

By the way, the dude in the picture is not me, but Zac.

I cringe at the sight of pau, just recently. Why?
One day i had forgotten to peel off the top layer of my chas-yu (is that how you spell it?) pau. Then my mom told me that 'the stinky pauman wipes his snot all over the pau'. Haha!

I wanted to warn you guys - peel off the top layer before eating pau! - but my mom said everyone already knows that, I'm the only one who doesn't.

It was one of those profound learning experiences that will definitely go down the memory lane : )

I have a new cousin. He was born on the 2nd of this month and he is still nameless.

Uncle, why haven't you named him yet?? What's taking you so long
To help you, below is a list of names to be avoided when naming your child : )

• Harold
• Maximillian
• Englebert
• Rufus
• Arnold
• Chester
• Adolf
• Barbara (cos it's a girl's name)
• Howard/Howie
• Wattie
• Benedict

When I was young, my brothers and I had a little slide in our front garden, which my grandfather made if i'm not mistaken. It was so fun, throwing baby powder on it and slidig down. Sometimes using the hose and creating water slide. Then one day, my aunty decided to try out the slide. She broke the bottom part. I was very sad : (

We also used to play cricket in the garden and every day without fail one of us would whack the ball into the neighbour's garden. The poor aunty's flowers were ruined. I'm not surprised she refused to return our tennis balls back

I wanted to create the most colourful shoe that could ever be worn on a foot. I'm working on it. It looks like I'm wearing a rainbow on my foot, except the red is missing. But I've replaced it with pink.
You can even find a pot of gold at the end of the shoe :)

Okay that's lame, even by my standards

O my gosh! I have two followers!
Thanks, you guys :)
This is one of the biggest compliments I've received so far haha (besides one time when a lady said I have nice nostrils. !!)

I live in this bubble of ignorance. If I know or hear about something I don't like, I try block it out, or totally ignore it.

For example - football. I've settled nicely into this huge bubble. Then someone says something like
'Liverpool lost man, boohoo.' and just pops the bubble.

And today I was forced to watch Fast and Furious. I'm not impressed by cool cars and even less impressed by whatever stunts they can perform.
'How was the movie, Alessandra?'
' Oh, just loud and screechy.'
And it's easy to tell when someone's about to die or the car's gonna crash just by listening to the over-dramatic music. So at that moment i'll stare hard at the popcorn or just close my eyes.

Okay, I haven't gone a single day without posting something. Or maybe one day. But still.
Impressive or pathetic?

Coconuts

My mom says I'm like a kampung girl. Just because somebody dumped a heap of coconuts in our garden and since i had nothing better to do i started throwing coconuts down from my grandparents' room, which sits directly above the garden.

How often do you get a pile of coconuts suddenly appearing in your garden? I wanted to crack open the darn coconuts so i tried slamming the coconuts against each other, also throwing them out the window.They just fell with a 'clunk'. Not a single crack. How boring is that? Just clunk. clunk, clunk. Or plonk. Whichever.

Then we (my brothers and i) thought we could use one of them as a cricket ball. And instead of cracking the coconut, it was the poor bat that almost cracked.

Don't you hate it when you go for a movie, and by the time the movie actually starts, you've finished your popcorn? And you can't go out and buy another box as the movie's starting. Then you sit there not having any popcorn to eat and can only drink your huge cup of Coke. And since you don't have any popcorn left to eat and you've only been drinking coke, you have to go to the restroom. But you can't go cos your only halfway through the movie so you have to hold it in. Then after the movie, you take the wrong exit and end up in the parking lot with no toilet in sight and it takes even longer to go to the restroom.

Never happened to me thankfully

It's tough being the only girl in the family. I mean, not having to be compared to your sister, not needing to share clothes with your siblings, and what not.

Sad, isn't it?

It's so frustrating. A while ago I knew just the right thing to post. I have TOTALLY forgotten what it was. Aaaaauuuugggghhhh.
Crap now i have to think of something else to post.

If I'm so forgetful now, I can't imagine 20 years down the road. What if i forget what I had for lunch on the same day! Or what I wore to church last Sunday so i don't wear it the second week in a row! Unthinkable!!!

Top 5 Most Annoying Songs That Should Have Never Been Composed:

• The Ketchup Song
• Macarena
• Auld Lang Syne

Dang it can only think of 3 right now

Kid Cudi - Day and Night.
Cool song

Ooooo purple

This is the first time typing in red font. I don't really like red. Reminds me of bulls, empty angpaus (is that how you spell it?), blood, and other unpleasant red things

Manchester United's jersey is also red. ICK.
Okay, so is Liverpool's but heck, their's is a nicer red

I used to think that that whatever painted could pop out of the paper and come alive. That's why i used to always paint lollipops haha. This, I believed, could only be achieved if performed this way:

1. On an art block, colour the whole thing with oil pastel crayons
2. paint over it with black paint
3. using something sharp like a satay stick, draw!
4. Whatever you draw will come alive after a few hours

I stopped believing when I realized it wouldn't work

Do you sometimes get annoyed when you look at a person without even knowing that person yet?
I do. Especially when I see people:

• Wearing a cap to one side
• walking as if they have a wedgie but can't be bothered to fix it
• smoking
• wearing super-flared pants
• chewing with their mouths so wide open you can see exactly what they're eating

Ick.

I can't seem to pronounce the word 'depth' and 'depths'. Aaaauuuugggggghhhhhh

If I could get a dog I would get a Scottish terrier (they've got moustaches!) and name it Norman. If i had a penguin his name would be Nelson

My brothers are so good at creating really cool sound effects. When I try, I get a look that tells me I should stop. And not do it again. And that I should be embarrased. So I stop.

My Uncle keeps bugging me to keep update my blog. He's probably my only dedicated blog-reader. One person. But that's enough to want me to keep writing. Whenever my Uncle asks me to update this thing, I feel warm, like my heart's been put in the microwave and zapped for a few seconds. I feel that I'm not wasting my time writing down crap because I know someone is reading, even enjoying, this crap. In other words, I feel Flattered.

So, THANK YOU UNCLE. I know you'll be saying "You're welcome, Shawabeans" when you read this. And now you're gonna smile/laugh because I'm actually writing this down
:)

And now you're probably gonna roll your eyes.

I couln't even write the previous post without Josh correcting me on spoilers and what not.
"When you talk about spoilers, it's general. Don't talk about models...."

I try. I try to listen. I honestly do. But if it's about cars, bikes, or any other sort of vehicle, I totally zone out. He keeps talking. I guess it's because he just wants to say what he knows, which is a lot. I let him. I can lend him my ears; I don't really have to listen, right?

"Hey Alessandra, guess what car that is, the one that just passed us."
"It's a small silver one."
"(Grumble). Yesssss, but what kind of car is it? Like the brand and all."
"Errr........"
"Hayo. It's a Porsche 911 GT3.Oh, I like the Carrera S but the GT3 is..."
"Right."
"And you know that spoilers are supposed to help in... but the Proton drivers are so... doesn't even need spoilers... looks stupid..............."
"Hmmmm."
"Hopeless."

Another thing I don't like saying (don't like having either) - Pimple.

I just don't get guys and computer games. I guess it's like how they don't get girls and shopping.
My brothers (who like to be referred to as the 'The Highly Intelligent Trained Ninja Monkeys) all kinds of weird games. I once played this Halo game with Josh and Ashereen, and I got negative points. Like -4 or something! I didn't know that that was even possible. Then i tried playing Stick Cricket. I got out 6 times in one over (for those who don't know cricket, that sucks)

And when I try those racing games, and keep crashing, my brothers would be jumping up and down shouting at me, tearing their hairs out in utter frustration and going, 'OMG YOU SUCK AT THIS! AAHH STOP CRASHING! I BET YOU'LL DRIVE AS BAD AS THIS ON THE ROAD.'

Nah can't be bothered

Josh said he prefers 'randomness' to 'randomosity'. So for his sake, I'll change it.

(Aunty writing down grocery list on pink paper)
Mother: Why are you writing with a red pen?
Aunty G: OH. No wonder so difficult for me to see what i'm writing

(My father in Australia, calls his grandmother to say hi)
Father: Hi Grandma! Aloysius here
Grandmother: WHAT? Aloysius not here lah, he's in australia! (Hangs up the phone)
Father: Not again

Luke: Here's a joke - I say no to drugs, but they won't listen
(everyone rolls eyes but laughs anyway)
Zac (5 seconds later) : Oh! I get it!
Josh: What?
Zac: It's because drugs can't hear you!
(???)

(Josh tells a joke)
Luke: HAHAHAHAHA. HAHAHAHA. HAHAHA
Josh: Do you even get it?
Luke: Uh no.

See what I have to live with

I used to love painting. I used to paint, and paint, and paint till I ran out of paper. Okay, slight exaggeration. But still, at the rate I used to produce paintings, people must've thought I was a born artist. Okay fine, another slight exaggeration.

My point is, (wait, i don't have a point to make) our interests change over time. And they'll keep changing (okay I just made a point!). Two months back, I tried painting a picture of a girl with candy limbs, but she ended up looking like a robotic duck. I think it was because i made her head look like a helmet and her lips like a beak.

I had wanted to be a cop when I was younger (God knows why). Now, I don't know. It's a jungle out there. So many fields, new lands to explore, making me crazy. Some people now make a living just by blogging (howcoolisthat). Now that I've finished school, it's time to put on my explorer hat, apply some mosquito repellent, and step out into the strange world.

I can't paint for nuts now. But i can draw really cute stick figures :)
