When I'm down in the dumps, I open a fashion magazine or browse the FRUiTS community and I immediately feel better. When that doesn't work, I throw open my closet and start planning outfits because I can. Somehow, looking at clothes is my therapy. Some people eat when they're stressed, I buy fashion magazines.

YE Awards were today. Woke up at 6.45am to get to school by 7.20 am so we could arrive at Federal Hotel on time. It was a stupid event anyway, Damansara Utama and Tropicana kinda just swept everything so the only thing we won was the Best Teamwork award. HAH. Whatever. Oh, and Subang Utama is a noisy school. I hate them and their bad English.

And DU's annual report? WE WERE SO ROBBED. Motherfuckers, our Annual Report was the best and the goddamn judges were just too blind to see it. Serious, I'm not being prejudiced or biased but what's done is done.

Met the US Ambassador as well. I had a handshake and a conversation with him. And that, is my five minutes of fame. LAWL.

Sammie's leaving for Rome tonight! :D :D :D && we talked about obese people before she left. She told me this show she watched on TV where this 750 pound guy asked his nurse out while she washed the folds on his back. I feel nauseous just thinking about it. ((Obviously, she turned him down))

Lastly:
Sammie, MIU MIU DELAVE TOTE PLZ.

SALSA CLASS JUST GOT BETTER TODAY!! I'm now in Improver 2 which is like one the senior senior group already. Imma so happy! *sob* What makes it even better is that now there's NO SKINNY CHINESE DUDE!! YESSSSSS!! DO YOU KNOW HOW HAPPY I WAS WHEN I WALKED INTO THE STUDIO??!?!?!!? ONLY ROBERT AND HIS SEXY HONKEE ACCENT AND JIMMY. WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. But I don't like the new shines though, we have to slide and stuff and everytime I will stab my toes with my pointy heels. :( Oh and Robert smells really nice. LOLOL. I can't believe I just said that. I don't go round smelling people, really.

Ohoh and something pretty cool happened to me today. I was at the Taman Tun pasar malam after salsa, walking around telling my mother about my latest Kamenashi Kazuya exploits. It was pretty much my typical fangirling crap when suddenly this woman stopped me in the middle of street and said in rapidfire Japanese: "Nihongo wa blahblahblahblahblahblahblah?"

O_O


A picture so this won't turn out just text.

Me and Sheau Ran in Times Square. YE Achievers Carnival (14 July 2007). It was in the papers on Friday 19 July 2007, so check check check it out!

(the YE carnival thing, not my face)

So this is waaaay long overdue (though not as overdue as the Japan series, oh well). Anyway I'm kinda lazy to write everything except summarize the two days as fun, fun, fun and a little scary because of stalker. 'Nuff said. Kay.

I grouped up with Huda and Suzanna for the second day. We were the Street Mimes Inc. S'cuse the crap name, but whatever. We had an AWESOME costume.





Stalker is the one sitting down. Crappy pic cause I didn't want him to see. BTW, he was sitting next to me. He was like, "HI REMEMBER ME?"

Me: Uhh....
Him: Remember, we met at Leader Camp thing. I was in your group, best actor remember?
Me: Ohhh, yeah!!! I KNOW YOU!! [...I was creeped out by you]
Him: *beams* Okay Nicole! *takes seat at table next door*


OHHH CRAP.


This was the Catholic School group in front of us. So cute right? HAHAHA, they were the Wizarding Brokerage or something like that. The dude on the left is Kian Siong from my BM tuition whom I did not recognise until he asked me, "Are you from my BM class?"

Me: Huh? Am I?
KS: Yeah, you're Nicole right?
Me: .....Yes.

*quiet*

Me: OH YES! I KNOW YOU NOW!! YOU'RE THE DUDE WHO ALWAYS EATS ROCKY IN CLASS!!!

*laugh*

Man, I'm crap with names.






This was my favourite. The "BLACK+EMO BROKERAGE". Sorry for the crappy image. All their members wore tight white shirts, with this torn black tulle around their shoulders, a choker around their neck and lots of eyeliner. The two boys inside this group were HOT. HOT. HOT. Everytime we had to line up to buy shares I would slowly move towards their direction and stand either in front or behind one of these 'BLACK+EMO" people. Hohohohhooho. Boys in eyeliner are hot okay?! (excluding Kazu, he's already smokin')




stalker.



Our slogan.



Me with half my makeup wiped off. You can't see my awesome lipstick.





Awesome costume man.



The winners. The guy in green at the back row, 4th person from the left is Joel 'Alamak' from Add Math tuition Sammie. His team won second overall. WHUT WHUT right?!?! Catholic won anyway. I'm not surprised. Chinese are good at business AND math.


Note: I call stalker, stalker because he knows my name. My FULL NAME. He called me by my full name several times throughout the day even though
A) I have never told him my name. Not even my first
B) Not many people know my full name. Sammie? NOPE. She can't even remember my surname let alone full.
C) I have never met him in my life. Even Rachel who theorized that maybe he was from Taman Megah, was astounded when she met him. See? See?


HOW DOES HE KNOW MY FULL NAME?? I HAVE NOT WRITTEN IT ANYWHERE. NOBODY HAS TOLD HIM. WHUT WHUT WHUT. SO CREEPY.

i'm in love with Namie Amuro now. Go download "Hide and Seek". SO CATCHY. I could totally bokgo dance to this. Otanoshimi ni!

Young Enterprise carnival in Berjaya Times Square today. I had to replace Mandarin class to Sunday instead. Oho, another day of procrastinating from my Chinese homework, joy.

The carnival wasn't bad, it just kinda proved to me that my mother and Sammie's grandma are suckers for students. Water fishes, the both of them. So I arrived around 11.30 a.m. with Rachel and headed straight up to our booth to hug and scream at Krystle. AHHHHH GUESS WHAT??!!!

I FINALLY KNOW HARLEY'S NAME AND SCHOOL!!!!

COOL OR NOT??!!!! IT'S GREAT TO HAVE FRIENDS WHO KNOW FRIENDS WHO ARE FRIENDS WITH HARLEY.

HARRRRLEEEEYYYYY.

Ok, that's not his name but I don't want to reveal it to the world. ;D HARLEEEYYYY IS MINE ALL MINE. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I KNOW HIS SCHOOL MAN. NEXT TIME SAMMIE GOES TO TAIPING I AM SO GOING TO FOLLOW HER AND SPEND MY DAYS SITTING IN THE LOCAL MALL IN STARBUCKS OR SOMETHING AND WAIT FOR HARLEY TO SUDDENLY PASS BY. Then I will immediately jump up from my seat and rush to talk to him. AHHAHAHAHAhh. AHHHHH SO NICE. (I'm mad)

AHHH Krystle!!! ilu!! KURISUTARU AISHITERU!!

K, then after lots of hugging and squealing, Rachel and I then proceeded to walk around the mall hunting for 'lala' clothes. It was quite nice actually. Everything in Times Square is mad as hell cheap weih!! There was one shop where all the clothes were RM20 only! WAHHH SO CHEAP. Then we walked to this shop where I found this really sexy Gothic Loli like skirt that you see on the streets of Harajuku. I wanted to buy it but bad communication with the sales assistant kinda prevented me from buying it straight away. I decided to wait for my lala friends (lol, Yvonne and Nastassja) to come and help me. The sales assistant was quite funky, like the ones in Shibuya 109. Shibuya girls. Copy-cat Shibuya girls. Ohohoh. Idc, that skirt was SO sexy and it goes well with my new boots I got on sale in Zara. SO NICE. SOSOOSOSOSO NICE. Lala fashion is so cool. But why is my Mandarin so shit? The only thing I could tell her was, "Wo pu hui zhiang hua yi!!" [I cannot speak Mandarin] And Rachel had to go, "Wo mei yo zhian liao." [I have no more money.]

That's what Mandarin classes are for honey.

Anyway the highlight of the day was of course, FINDING THAT MY STAR SHOP!!!! Stupid Hiew Lam, she told us it was closed!!! AHAHAHAHA LUCKY THING WE DIDN'T BELIEVE HER. Rachel and I were kinda walking around aimlessly looking for lala stores when suddenly at the end of this alley was a HUGE Dong Bang Shin Ki poster. WAAAAAH we immediately ran towards it. Then....

WE SKIDDED INTO EACH OTHER, BANGED HEADS, DIED AND WENT TO DBSK/KAT-TUN HEAVEN.

SERIOUS!!! THE WHOLE STORE WAS A DBSK SHRINE!!! WTFFFF. THERE WERE PRACTICALLY BOXES AND BOXES OF THOSE 7% WATER THAT DBSK ADVERTISE. The one I told my dad to get in Korea but he forgot. Oh well.

Ohohoho, I'll spare all over the stupid details of our time in Heaven but I'll let you know we spent like an hour inside that whole shop. Oh and while we were browsing, there was this Malay girl there with her Chinese friend exclaiming over KAT-TUN. She was like, "KAMENASHI!! WOWWW. I LOVE JAPANESE DRAMAS! OMG NEWS! OH YAMAPI!! BUT KAMENASHI! OH HE'S SO HOT!"

Fucking pao tau, I wanted to scratch her eyes out. You get lost!! Go support your Mawi or something and leave my turtle pear and Krystle's mountain down alone. Hmph.

But damn, that shop is a bit expensive. I wanted to buy a Kazuya pen to replace my lost pencil I bought in Japan, but my God, it costs like RM69.90! Siao! Mine only costs 250Yen!! Which is like, what? RM7.00?

In the end, we dragged Sheau Ran there and ended up with stickers, some handphone charms and a DBSK clock. Mad. Rachel is MAD.

Then I did my shift and crap. And oh yeah, I got my stalker's name and phone number. Amazing huh? He was like, "Hey Nicole! Remember me?" OH JESUS CHRIST. I was harassed by him to buy his products cause they were behind. Was also harassed by Kian Siong a few times cause he was next door in the Catholic booth to buy his products. Then was harassed by Joel 'Alamak's friend (I dont know his name...>.>) from tuition to buy HIS product. Ran away before Joel actually came. And THEN, I met Audrey Ean Yin from primary school in the Tropicana stall. Was harassed to buy more stuff.

I ended buying no ones but Kian Siong's cause he provided delivery via tuition and he bought like 4 hearts and a belt to help our stall. :)

And then we had lunch in KFC, and who do I see? STALKER BOY AGAIN. OH GOD LA, can he not leave me alone?? Pretended to look the other way. Then we walked back to the booths, STALKER BOY WAS AGAIN THERE. AHHHHHH I CANNOT RUN AWAY. WHAT. IS. THIS.

And then I did my job selling stuff and ended my shift by going with Yvonne to i-Socks to buy my lala skirt. It's so hot and so sexy and I love it. END.






I noticed this was a longish post with absolutely no pictures. Gomen. :( I think I'm going to cry.

Having a major headache now because of the rain and my very long day. Meeeehhhh. Anyway let's backtrack and start with...TUESDAY! (20/3/07)

Drama practice:


Krystle is prettier in real life. Really. And HOMGZ, don't I look like Jin in the pic above?


Yeah, you're probably thinking, "You wish, Nicole!" Mmmm, no, I wish I look like a cross between Lee Jun Ki at his girliest and Ayase Haruka, but you know we can't always get what we want so moving on...!





I'm wearing a sort of suit thing because I'm playing a man. A father to be exact. A jobless one. And that jacket makes me look fat IMO.

I'm going to pretend to be one of those "nu-rave-fashionable-Japanese-dads-with-funky-hair". My English teacher's words not mine. Maybe I can style myself to the likes of Takuya Kimura? Hey, he's a dad! With funky hair!

WEDNESDAY (21/3/07)

I got to miss school for a whole day (including tuition) for some Young Enterprise workshop thing sponsored by this American company called AMCHAM. We're sponsored by Nestle. Surprisingly it was so much fun!! For once the presenter of the day wasn't boring and didn't ramble on for too long. He was actually funny, articulate, very entertaining and really nice. I think his name was Shaun.

The place was in like, somewhere I've never been before. It's still Selangor but in the middle of nowhere (okay, Kesas highway but where is that?!). How embarassing I haven't been to my own backyard.

London, Paris, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Shanghai etc etc? YES.
Kajang, Klang, Cheras? UHHHH WHERE?!

I can tell you how to get from Watford to London in an hour flat. Even tell you the stations you'll pass, where to interchange and even what line to take. From certain stations, I can tell you what buildings you're going to see and the best places to shop. London is like a second home and I can navigate my way around no problem, no map needed. Baker Street? Yup. Picadilly Circus? Yes. Oxford Circus? WOOOHOOO LET'S GO TO TOPSHOP AND HMV!

Tell me to go to Klang and I'll give you a blank stare. No wait, let's try nearer. Tell me Old town and New town and I'll tell you I only know Uptown.

I blame my parents.

Took a few pics before we entered the building. Apparently cameras weren't allowed (don't know why, eeesh!).



Sadly our Chinese teacher was handling the school debate on the same day, so we got Puan Azna instead. She tortured us in the car during our 1 1/2 hour ride to the location by blasting Malay radio. I will never listen to the "Hey Mickey" song the same way again. NEVER. And oh, Malay rap SUCKS but you don't need me to tell you that.


From left: Irina, me, Jamie.


The workshop thing was held in the building of some company as you can see called, "STATS ChipPAC". Don't ask me what they do, walking inside the building seeing all those machines and workers we still couldn't figure out what they manufactured/do. Eventually we concluded they probably manufactured microchips or something and left it at that. Too busy amusing ourselves with "Chippac!" jokes. LOLL. "Jamie, you so chippac one!!" "Irina, don't be so chippac!" "Aiyoh guys faster la, why so CHIPPAC?!"

MUAHAHAHAHAHA. Use it people. It could be the newest internet slang invented by us. Sorry STATS ChipPAC, but your name is so LOLWORTHY. Don't sue us :( .

The thing was from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. so we did like TONS of fun activities. I'm not going to report about everything. And oh, Sammie! Remember Deborah from Mrs. D's class last year? The one who always ate McDonald's, didn't do her homework (wait, me too!) and sat with the 'smelly' boy? Yeah, she recognised me. Lol.

Oh, and we met a group of guys from St. John's. They were so creepy, I noticed one of them kept staring at me. At least he was semi-hot. Everytime we made eye contact he would smile at me. Cause we were in the same team and I was coaching him what to say (some sort of act/skit) we eventually won. He was like, "Nicole, we rock!" and smiled at me.

Me: OMG HOW DOES HE KNOW MY NAME? SUPER CREEPY. I DON'T EVEN KNOW HIS!

And then all activities after that, we were always in the same group. (even though we kept changing alot)
After we left the building we were behind his group trailing after our teacher WAAAAY in front, he was like all, "Bye!" *smiles and waves*
How do we know he was smiling and waving at us? We were the last group to leave.

Reaction: Errr, bye! ^_^
Inside: O_e!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like I said, at least he's semi-hot. :)

No shit man, the way he smiled at me all the time just freaked me out. No, I did not get his number Krystle. Not even his name. I'd like to leave it like that.

My teacher is a lazy bugger who won't even send me to One Utama even though she lives in Kota Damansara (nearby!) when I told her to drop me off at the LRT station she say she don't know how to get there. Eventually she let me off at the bus stop in Section 14 (the rest were dropped off at Courts Mammoth, lol). IT WAS RAINING, I WAS FREEZING AND ALONE. My mum couldn't pick me up cause there was a massive jam and thunderstorm so I had to shelter and eat dinner in McDonald's by myself. As well as being the only idiot who clears her tray and wipes the table clean. (what can I say? My parents were McD majors even went to Hamburger Uni in Arizona and Illinois. McD is like, my childhood and LIFE) I didn't get kidnapped/mugged/raped/followed. But I did get a cold.
