Everybody Sing A Song

KDUDA! KDUDA 2009.

Basically, its an interschool debate challenge organised by KDU's Debate Association.
This also happens to be a competition where I put alot of hope and dreams and effort in.
Ultimately, because of one person.
If you're close to me, you'll probably know who is she.
Yes, its a woman =.= A woman I don't like.
A woman who looked down on me.

So, it started out shaky.
With rigorous trainings everyday during school hours, and even after school, we did our best and practiced for four days straight. As the days go by, there was this certain tension, pressure in the air. Every day, I would be talking to my teammates or my coach on debate. We worked hard.

If you want full details on the debate, head over to WenMin's.
Cause I so lazy lah. LOL
Basically, I managed to achieve something I wouldn't have even imagined.
And I just want to make a thank you speech here on my blog.
For every single individual who helped, contributed, adviced.

First, thank you to all my seniors, and all the debating people.
You guys are like super role models.
The people we all look up to (: thank you.

I also want to thank my teammates yo!

Rachel Gan
The whip. :D


WenMin.
The studious 2nd speaker.

My awzum team, with an adjudicator for one of the rounds.

I also want to thank lah Lim Yuli Tweety.
For being somehow there always during debate.
During the good and bad times.

Almost lastly.
Must thank lah the awzum CHS coach.
With all his intense training, even though he could be in Kolkata.
Must give him credit.
Ian Beh, we all thank you.
I thank you.
Like I said, you'll always be the best coach I had, and will ever have.
(:
And like Peter and James also!
BUT I DON'T HAVE PICTURE T.T

Of course, lastly.
Thank you, lady.
I hope you like me more now.

She Uses Black Magic

Exams are over.
For now (: Wah so happy.
Happy birthday, WENMIN!
Brought her to try the mixed berries meringue in Alexis, Bangsar today.
Awzum.

Came back.
Too lazy to do anything,
except watch Leverage.
AWZUM SHOW.
Very interesting.

Then I played this Facebook game.
Typing Maniac.
WAH LAGI AWZUM.

Life's awzum.
Despite people not always being nice. :(
Oh well.

Onions.

Ah, of Onion News and McDonalds.
:) Such a wonderful way to destress.
Especially after a horrible exam paper.
Namely, Additional Mathematics.

I'm consoling myself with what my classmate said.
'It's normal to get a single digit mark for addmath second term.'

Treated myself to fried chicken and french fries.
I try to enjoy life, even when Chinese is tomorrow.
And that sort of spells doom. :) :)

Busy Saturday ahead, then its Dad's Day.
Then its Monday.
Oh I love this upcoming Monday :)
Sweet smell of examinations ending. How awesome.

The Sweet Things in Life

... are meant to be savoured. :)

SINGAPORE PART 2
So, after an interesting first day which included shopping, bungee jumping, eating, and a little drinking, came the second day. :D

So Rachel, WenMin, Kim and I took the MRT to Harbour Front. From there we proceeded to Sentosa by shuttle bus ($3).

We were at the Sentosa Shuttle Station, doing the customary 'pose with the bus stop sign' before proceeding to Sentosa. We went for the Extreme Log Ride, The Luge and Skyride, some airbrush tattoo thing (which I now realise, is a conjob) . Yeah basically, we tried out 3 things only. Because Sentosa is a crazy expensive place!

Oh and halfway through, we met ChenLynn who was in this shuttle bus to go meet the pink dolphins. Surprising though, meeting her there, cause we couldn't keep in contact with her.

After spending about $30 plus, we headed to Siloso Beach. Wanted to try out the Flying Trapeze but the place was booked for some kid's birthday. :( Oh well.

Siloso Beach is pretty decent actually. Picturesque, with coconut trees and white sand and all.


Of course, what can 4 girls do on a beautiful beach? :)

WenMin spotted a crab! O.O

Kimberly auditioning for Baywatch ;)

Imagine me asking 'why is the sand sandy?'
Then look at my expression.

Some sort of painfully constipated jump.

Don't like Rachel. >=/
She always jumps the nicest.

HAHA WEN MIN HAHA I'm a rockstar!

Baywatch babe and I!

we have this thing for jump shots.

Starfish jump by Kim.

SEE WHAT I MEAN? WENMIN BIAS. TAKE SO NICE FOR HER.

Yeap. Left Sentosa at about 8 plus.
Ate at a simple Japanese restaurant in Vivo City.
Went back to Kim's house after that (:
That wraps up day 2.

Someone Hates Me

Click to enlarge and you'll understand my misery.
Someone hates me.
I know it.

3 YEARS?!
T______T

By that time, Sims4 would be out already.
Oh leave me alone to rot and die.

Testing

… Windows Live Writer.

Singapore: Part One

Can’t believe I found this interesting thing after so long. My connection can go fry itself like a sunny side up for all I care, if it continues to disconnect every 5 seconds. SERIOUSLY!

Anyway, Wen Min has uploaded some of Singapore’s photos! All photos credits to WenMin and her awesome Canon.

Shall let the pictures bercakap-cakap (:

First day in Singapore. Headed to Din Tai Fung, Paragon for lunch. Bill was on PoPo, Kim’s grandmother :) Later headed to this shop called Tango Mango (again, if not mistaken), bought souvenirs here.

Outside Paragon. :D We just like to have fun.

At Clark Quay. As you can observe in the picture, the four girls show clear happiness through their smiles and are in a euphoric state of mind. Why? Just check out the shopping bags. As I say this, emphasize on Rachel Gan.

Clark Quay in the early evening. Malaysia should so have a place like this. Exciting ambience, fancy bars and restaurants, hot Caucasians. :D What’s there not to like?

At a mall toilet by Clark Quay. Usual girls doing their usual thing (:

G-Max Bungy. Awzum ride. A must-try if you visit Singapore, or I won’t befriend you =.= It is THAT awzum.

Anyway I sat the bungy with Rachel. And this funny thing happened.

Carmen Rachel Bungy Operator

So, do you guys want a surprise launch or a countdown?

Countdown, pleaseee.

Why countdown? No fun. Surprise!

Countdown T__T

Surprise!!!

COOUNTDOOWWWNNN!!!

Sur….

*Bungy launches up in air. =.=

Headed over to IndoChine: The Forbidden City in Clark Quay after the Bungy Ride. Restaurant and Bar with nice ambience, fancy deco. 3 of us skipped dinner and opted for a round of drinks and dessert (Mango Sticky Rice) while Kim had KueyTeow.

… and that’s what we did for the first day. (:

Last Piece of Ritz Biscuit

Hello!
Next poll is up!
Street smart as in, well.
I know how to prevent myself from getting kidnapped, or raped, or stalked, or murdered and stuff like that. I know what's a dangerous situation, and I won't put myself in situations that will harm myself. I know how to deal with scary people who look like they're gonna do something to you. That kind of thing.

What do you think?

Anyway, came back from SuperCamp last week. A day after that, left for Singapore the LionCity. I'm currently waiting for pictures from Rachel and WenMin so I can elaborate more.

Well, the holidays are over. I guess I have to start studying. But... Wait a minute.

One more thing.


This is David Garrett.
He is very sexy.
So sexy, he persuaded Rachel, Kim and I to buy his album.
Out of thousands of other pop albums in That Cd Shop.
I bought a violin album =_______=
This proves he got power lor.



Sexy right!

The Truth Hurts, The Lies 're Worse

You can't play on broken strings.
You can't feel anything,
that your heart does not want to feel.

- Broken Strings, by James Morrison & Nelly Furtado.

Great song.
Awesome lyrics.

Its the last chance to feel again.
James Morrison is a genius.
I bet he knew how to cope with exam stress.

Obstacles We Don't Foresee

Have faith.

Under Pressure

Okay.
Take a look at the picture.
Grossed out? Disgusted? Feel like killing those people who did that?
Well, the picture is just one side of the story.

It's the killing of seals, an annual event in Canada.
Animal rights organisations protest over this event every year too. Why?
Okay, not ALL animal rights organisations. Lets take PETA.
Yes, PETA the organisation that encourages people to protest on the streets naked.
Yes, that PETA.
PETA says its cruel to skin the seals.

Why don't they go protest not to skin cows? Not to break chicken necks?
300,000 seals get mauled every year,
but seals in the Canadian coast are overpopulated.
If seals are going to be extinct, fine protest for all I care.
But the very fact is, seals are overpopulated.
Seals are eating up so many fishes that the fishermen have nothing to fish =.=
The way chickens and cows and pigs are slaughtered are way worse than this.
Thats why I say its not cruel to kill seals.

One reason people protest is because seals are cute. Kawaii. QQ. Comel.
Just because seals are cute doesn't mean its cruel to kill them.
Its just the human nature that thinks cute animals should not be killed.
Although I agree that the pictures are just toooo cute,
that you don't really want to kill them :/
For example,




Which of those two would you rather see killed?
The bottom is actually the Purple Frog. An endangered species.
Its 5% of the seal population.

And which one would you kill?

p.s. I'm also doing this to prove I'm not a bimbo lah. =D

Self Discovery Mission

Hello people!
I'm not in the most comfortable mood right now.
In fact, I have this swollen gum at the back of my mouth.
Somewhere around the last tooth T.T
AND IT JUST STARTED BLEEDING T.T
Anyone experienced this before? Help me.
It hurts too. =/

Anyway,
Refer to the title of my post.
Yes that's right,
I'm embarking on a mission.

Event:
Carmen's Self-Discovery Mission

Participants:
Everyone who reads this blog on purpose or stumbled upon it. Please participate if and only if you know me. Not necessarily personally, but you have heard of me before or seen me before, at the very least. Cause I can't have people who don't know me do this.

Purpose of this:
Well, Carmen is a tad bit blur about herself. She just wants to know herself in the perspective of others, ie. what other people think of her. By the end of this whole mission, she hopes to get to know herself better, keep up her good features and fix her flaws (hope there's not too many though =.= )

How is this Going to Work:
Basically, Carmen is going to put up a new poll at the side of this blog every two weeks or so and pose a question. You guys just have to look at the question, evaluate her and vote. This is where the 'must at least seen or heard of me' part comes in. Carmen can't possibly have you judge her if you don't know her right!

A Few Gentle Reminders:
Carmen would really, reaaalllly appreciate every honest answer. Don't lah purposely click some other stupid answer just because you hate her or something okay! T.T

For example,

'Is Carmen a vegetable?'
Don't lah click YES.




T____T Unless you really think I'm a vegetable.

But anyway, this whole mission is suppose to help me improve myself as an individual, as a team player, as a partner, as a daughter, as a sister, as a classmate, as a debater, as an Interactor... You get the drill. So please, answer truthfully and nothing else but the truth.

How Long is This Going To Last?
Well, I hope to achieve all the answers I want to get by the end of this year. At the end of this year, I'll compile all the questions I've asked and see how I fare.

So, deal? Do me a favour and collect karma? =)

Now, first question.
Quite infamous one.

'IS CARMEN A BIMBO?'

Note the question properly okay. I asked, am I a bimbo? Not 'do I look like a bimbo?' As in, do I really act like one, sound like one? Just because I look bimbo doesn't mean I am one, so there's a clear difference between those two.

For those that still don't know whats a bimbo... I am too lazy to explain so click here.

Get your definitions clear first okay!

Thank you very much for your kind attention, you will be blessed with happiness and 7 kids for voting on the right side of this blog. =D

Everybody Wants The Truth, But The Truth Isn't Even Real.

The only thing worse than;

a. Being born in a war-torn country
b. Being force fed vegetables for life
c. Being murdered with a chainsaw
d. NOT being murdered by the Yakuza
e. Being bedridden but unable to die
f. The feeling of breaking up
g. The feeling upon finding out the person you love cheated on you
h. Being raped
i. Recieving an accusation/insult
j. Not getting what I want (I AM spoilt after all)
k. Not standing up for myself
l. Losing friends
m. Losing tickets to a concert =____=
n. Getting disowned by my parents for getting bad results
o. Being broke and then seeing something I want to eat. T.T

... is having a mosquito bite.

... ON THE SOLE OF MY RIGHT FEET.

T____T

Side note for today:
I realise I am so capable of flinging all my emotions out when compromised, without a care in the world. Being a normal human, I'd blame this on something else but not myself. This time, I'll blame it on low emotional quotient. I'm sorry to Zean, Prashanth, David and all the affected rest of the lot.

I Want To Smell Like Roses, Not a Baseball Team

Hello!
Had a blast last night, and still having!
First and foremost, since I didn't do so during the actual date.

HAPPY SMASHIN' SWEET SEXY SIXTEEN KLOTHILDA LIM!

:D Oh man, it actually rhymes!
Awzumm.
Her gathering was no less awzumm too (:
Thanks for dinner, Klot.

Oh oh.
I figured an all time trick for lazy bummers like me already!
So if you're as lazy as me, ATTENTION OKAY.
Actually, its not my trick.
My friend who shall not be named taught me.

Very awzumm one ok.
Okay, don't freak out.
But I'm so lazy, I haven't washed my school shoes for at least,
2 to 3 months already?
At least 2 months.
I know =____________________=

So feel free to use your imagination.
Imagine how dirty my shoes are =D

I couldn't stand going to school another Monday with dirty school shoes again,
so I did the unthinkable.
The forbidden.
The deadly.
The Insane.

Hehe.
I skipped the washing, and proceeded to whitening the shoe straight away.
And it actually turns out white!
As if I just washed.

Now it looks like that.
REALLY!
Even whiter than after washing! :D
I confirm saw it shining lehh!

Haha and then right.
Mum Dad I

*whitening shoe happily*
Eh look, your daughter crazy one! You see what's she doing!
*peers inside washroom*
Eh dear, I did that too when I was young!
*silence* *hopeless sigh*
HAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHA

Last but not least,

OH HAIL AWZUMM SHOE WHITENER!

Attack of the Zombie Trainee Teachers

There's a batch of trainee teachers in school lately.
I think they're doing their Practical exam or something.

Not being mean, I know they're inexperienced but.
HELLO MY MIDTERMS ARE COMING!
IF THEY CONTINUE TEACHING,
MY MIDTERMS ARE SCREWED!

How =(

I understand that they're new and they don't know how to teach.
I actually pity them cause they get bullied alot.
Like in my class =___=

She punished JesCee by asking her to clap her hands for a minute.
For those of you who know Jess.
Obviously, she went and happily clap.
Made the teacher so pissed,
I confirm got smoke come out of her ear.

Yes, like that.

And HAHAHAHAHA Klothie's story.
Our trainee teacher misunderstood her.
Klothie was shaking her head,
because she was playing with Michelle.
And the teacher went and thought she didn't understand Math.
=____________= made her come out and do math.

Most humiliating incident yet?
Happened to Michelle and I.
In Chemistry yesterday, (another trainee)
I was braiding Michelle's hair =.= for the fun of it.
The teacher tried to put on a scary look,
and asked "what are you two doing?"
We stoned and stared at each other =______=
and everyone else was laughing.

Actually now, thinking of it, I have no idea what was so funny.

These teachers right.
They TRY to be scary, but fail.
Their wannabe scariness makes them seem funny and loser-ish.
Sad teachers.
I pray for them.

The Motion

Ever felt like you got punched in the guts repeatedly, til your lungs burst, bones break, ligaments torn, teeth came out, eyeballs popped out?



I'm not stopping.
Until I'm the best.
I will prove you wrong.

I'm sure my team thinks so too. (:

Covalent Bonds

So right.
I'm up again at 1.22am copying Chemistry notes.
Life is wonderful.

I just want to list a few things I want to do by the end of this year.
Okay here goes.

Carmen's List
1. Join a cooking class perhaps during the Nov/Dec holidays.

Basically, I just want to join this to prove to myself and my family members and well, basically everyone who looks down on me that I can cook. The worse part of this, is after going to the class and I still fail to cook up a mediocre dish. That would be downright humiliating. Good part of this though, I successfully learn to whip a few dishes out. And who knows? I might be some star chef some day!

2. Go on retail therapy due to depression

Yeah, believe it or not, no I've never been shopping just to cure sadnness. I want to see how it feels like. For example, spending big bucks on a few dresses and shoes after failing Chemistry, or blow dying my hair for no apparent reason just because I have a guy dilemma. That kind of thing you know!

3. Get a few strikes in bowling lah, c'mon!

Is it just me or my hand's natural curve lines won't balance out the aerodynamics of wind at an angle of 278 degrees with a magnitude of 136w/mph? =.= I made that up. Its just that I can't get strikes in bowling lah, and you know. The feeling of striking would be awsum!

4. Go diving in Sipadan

I have no idea how long I've been ranting about this.
I want to go to Sipadan!
I want to go diving in Sipadan!
I've been saying this for a year already at least.

5. Bake a cake for someone I care for.

And obviously the cake will taste nice.
I'm just putting my oven to good use here.

6. Meet a hot guy with either the name Sebastian or Nathaniel.

Just seeing how far this list can take me.
=.=

7. Balance my whole life out properly.

That includes church, school, family, activities and everything in between.

Yeap thats my list, for now.

Fearless

Hello!
Loads of things have been happening lately.
I feel somewhat depressed.

Midterms in a few weeks, and well.
Every typical teenager will tell you,
no I have not taken out my books yet.

Yeah, that's me.

Some editing here// You know right, when i say 'yeah, that's me' up there right. I wasn't referring myself to Taylor Swift in the picture below ok =.= apparently JiaLing thought I was saying that. NO! I perasan also put Jessica Alba or something lah ok, Taylor too skinny. I just put her there for fun, because I just heard her song and I thought it was quite nice. (:

Okay lah.
I shall try doing something productive today.
So enjoy a picture of Taylor Swift.
=____________=

So, Stop and Listen to MY Post.

Since you wanted it this way.

You took away your rights to beg.
I'm not doing this because I'm traumatised.
I'm far from it because I felt nothing.

I'm doing it because I'm alert now.
I see things clearly now.
I understand the consequences of not doing it.
I know I need to exercise my right.
I have to stand up for my own because if I don't,
no one will and you'll get your way.

And I wouldn't want to be blamed for that.

oh and :)
The Aliens got back their throne.

Charlie the Unicorn

If I can't have you, I don't want nobody, baby.
-BeeGees, or if you prefer, Adam Lambert.

Anyway, hopefully for now.
Everything will be less hectic.
There's nothing much for this week,
except for SportsDay.
Initially wanted to join marching too,
but turns out I'm human.
I have to learn to tone down, to be in the background.
Not to get involved in every single thing.
I have to patch up friendships, relationships, my whole life.
I've missed out, and now its time to find some things back.

Don't get me wrong, this isn't an emotional post.
Its a determined post.

Right, on to other things on my mind.

First watch this.




This.
Introduced by a friend.

And then along came KahJo.
Complaining about some cooking competition thing.
He named his dish Erotic Chicken
=_____________=
I don't blame him for not winning.
Sorry, Jo.

Fong Kah Jo CHS says:

Fong Kah Jo CHS says:

And that is the end of Charlie the Unicorn, Kah Jo's erotic chicken and the start of all my nightmares. (:

Well, no nightmare yet. Chinese homework first.
Worse than nightmares.
