Happy (belated) Chinese New Year and Let's welcome the Water Dragon!

It's suppose to be a lucky year. In fact, I read in the newspaper today that a lady in Malaysia wants to perform IVF and be a surrogate for a Dragon Baby.

Yes, Dragon babies. Why are in demand?

Well, apparently, they are hardworking and have a fair chance for success.

I told my grandmother this (because she is a Dragon too) and she said, "Horoscope aje." Then, it said that Roosters (me) and Dragons (my grandmother) are compatible. Yay!

Let's start the week off with Chinese New Year celebrations.
After so long, more than 5 years, I managed to spend Chinese New Year and tagged along with my grandmother and my aunt.

It was nice because the houses that I usually go to did not change. It's just sad that I sit there in the corner while my grandmother, aunt, and my Chinese relatives speak in Cantonese or Mandarin.

I'm here:

I enjoyed eating the dishes served at my grandmother's older brother's house. It's vegetarian so I can eat it. Nyum. Nyum.

One of my relatives said that I should learn how to speak Chinese. Sigh. I wish I could. It's such a cool language, either Cantonese or Mandarin. Sadly, I fail at it. Oh well, I understand what's happening with body language and certain phrases that pop up that I know. So, I'm not so lost.

I received Ang pows. Yay! That was nice. I mean, I haven't seen them in so long and I still get money. This beats Hari Raya.

Okay. So it was time to return back to school.

I hated it. There was so much due and I slacked off. Thank god we only had 3 days of school this week. I was glad when the Weekend rolled in.

On Wednesday.
Back to School.

Ew. I mean, it was nice because I had two preps that day. But the 'ew' is knowing that you've done nothing and expect to be prepared for school.

The best part was Impromptu and having prep with Prawn. History was a joy to go to as always (no sarcasm intended). Math, a killer, I don't get the unit at all.

Coming home, my grandma didn't cook because she came home late from CNY partying the night before. So, we ate at Sri Petaling Sea Food Restaurant. I love their glass noodles.

Tons of homework to do, I just want to cry.

On Thursday.

BAD DAY of the WEEK.

I started out the day with uncompleted homework. As USUAL. Then, I was rushing because I had to pack before my taxi driver comes and, ARGH!.

At school, all the classes seemed so boring. I wanted to just run away.

English ORALS next week. FML.

French - ORALS too. I need to send her my speech. Fuudge.

Econ - had a surprise quiz. At least I did okay. Pure luck. (Grade in Econ, C. SAAAMSOOOOON. UPDATE!)

Bio - on and on. Seriously. She has to keep up the pace or keep the class in tact. I dislike Bio with a passion because of the way she teaches.

The good part was after-school, when I saw Mr. Psi. He's such an amazing teacher and looks to kill. So is Mr. Temp. Gah. I loved 11th grade.

Almost all my teachers were amazing and English and Bio were my fav. Good looking teachers. Yes. Creepy. But hey. :)

I calculated Mr. Temp's and my age difference. I actually considered being with him at one point. I even listened to the song "Don't Stand So Close to Me" because of that one implication.

"Young teacher, the subject

Of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to be
Inside her there's longing
This girl's an open page
Book marking - she's so close now

This girl is half his age"

So yeah.

Well yeah.

Okay. So Thursday ended a bit sour at school because I wasn't able to hang out with Prawn. It's tough because I also have to juggle my friends from the Lunch table.

I just don't want to be those type of girls that ditch their friends for their boyfriends.

What sucks for me is that I sometimes feel that I don't pay any attention to Prawn. (Marshmallow, don't feel guilty). I guess I still have traces of when I was still single for so long.

Speaking of Prawn, I had a little tiff with him yesterday night.
I was feeling a bit moody because it's almost the time of the month and I just didn't feel right.

So he started telling me a humorous story of how the cashier at the school's sandwich shopped started to ask him if he is free on Saturday.

Okay, I was a bit jealous, but I knew where the story was heading when he started. So I played along as the jealous girlfriend because I thought it would be awesome to troll him.

However, I think I couldn't control myself. It was weird.

Then, it was a small misunderstanding on both parts.

After that, I called him again, after he hung up. Then, I just felt bad. I mean, I didn't hang out with him today plus I just had a bundle of emotions that I couldn't control.

I miss my family. I am falling behind in IB. I just couldn't contain it.

Then, I bawled.

I cried a bit when I talked to him because it was the incorrect timing.

After crying for awhile, I felt slightly better. Plus, he tried to cheer me up, which was nice.

In the end, I managed to finish my history homework before the next day. Accomplishment of the semester.

FRIDAY.

So Friday started out amazing. I had a good dream the other night. I vaguely remembered that it was some romantic dream because I'm a hopeless romantic and all.

Then, I woke up later than usual because I didn't have to rush.

I had time to eat breakfast and shower. It was a good morning.

PLUS: my shorts fit me again.

Good music came on my iPod as well.

Overall, good start to the day.

Then, I came to school and I managed to read 3 pages of a book that I'm dying to read, Jerry Maguire's Wicked. I finally had a free morning. I managed to talk to Prawn as well.

Overall, a good morning indeed.

Then, I had my two preps in the morning. That was amazing. I got to rest and study for the math quest.

Akimal came. I think I was the only one who greeted him warmly.

Sorry Marshmallow. I had to. I guess it's because, deep down, I still think it's him. Despite the fact that he puffs a cig. I don't know. I feel indifferent about it.

I guess a friend is a friend. But at times, I can't stand the fact that he is a two-faced person. He'll be in a friggin' good mood when his precious ANNA is nice to him and whatnot.

Marshmallow, I have your back :)

Well, Akimal kinda took up most of my prep time with Prawn. But it's fine... I guess. SIGH.

Then, he left. I managed to grab lunch with Prawn before I had to go to Impromptu.

At least he is in a good mood as well. So, this makes up for a week ago where he said, "What am I worth to you?"

Somehow, remembering that still stings. I guess I have to get my priorities straight.

So far, I'm actually gonna start greeting him rather than he greet me. I just, STILL, feel so shy doing that. WHAT'S WRONG with ME!

Well yeah.
Going on with the day. I had Math after lunch.

The Quest. I didn't get the last question. I managed to finish it though. It was surprisingly not that bad.

I know everyone's been saying that the Quest was horrible, but I managed to do the first two questions and finished early. I guess I might get it wrong. I didn't study anyways.

Oh well.

Then History.
I really do love History class.
As my friend, Z, puts it, it is the only class that doesn't feel so long. I agree with her 100%. It doesn't seem dragging, which is weird because it's history. Odd.

Oh well. I did do the quiz today despite not studying for it, again. Oh well.

After-school. Amazing.

I had EE club and I actually worked because I finally got my adviser's comments back. Woopie.

STILL HAVE A LOT TO DO but she said there's potential.

Then. OMG.

Surreal.

I got accepted in a university. I was so amazed since I just sent in the application on January 5. Then, the decision was made Jan 25 and sent on Jan 27 through e-mail.
I couldn't contain myself. I asked Mr. P to let me out. I went to Ms. R and she threw glitter at me for celebration.

Then, I screamed in the hallways.

YES!

Well. It was a nice ending to a good day.

I was suppose to work tonight, but nah.

I'm blogging instead.

Sleeping soon.

Good night.
