Fare thee well, Holidays.

You shall be missed.

(kind of.)

Thanks you guys, for dragging me out of my hermit hole these past few days. To eat, to laugh, and to have fun. It was great while it lasted. (:

Now, I am afraid that I will have to go into the dreaded state known as 'Hiatus' for my own good. Updates will be infrequent, replies to tags few. I apologise in advance.

BACK TO SCHOOL IN ONE DAY.

Post-it productions?

Hey thanks guys, for the overwhelming feedback (: I hope that I can be witty enough to produce good shirts. XD Anyway, heres a overused, not very witty warm-up I did in flash:


I was wondering if I should add the phrase "whoever thought bears were cute has obviously never met one before" somewhere, just because my dad said i when he walked past. XD I should start getting my rear in gear and churn out something funnier soon. If you guys have funny phrases or prompts, tag me and I will see what I can do if I have time. Someone get sham over here and tell her her mathlete sweater started this whole mess. Look out world, Jacs moving from post-its to wear-its.

OH MY. WEAR-ITS WOULD BE AN AWESOME BRAND NAME. O:

*EDIT*
I couldent resist.

Thinking...

Uhm, hey guys, part two of the cameron highlands escapade is going to have to wait. I'm not really in the mood to sift through/resize/watermark the pile of photos sitting on my hardrive, so yeah. Im just here to ramble. Turn away now if you know whats good for you. Jac thinking is actually not a very good thing.



That there is a squid pen. My father has been badgering me to pick up my pencil and to start designing things again. In KL we had discovered that most amusing shirts with amusing graphics have non-amusing prices, so my dad was telling me that I should just do my own designs and print them, and then maybe sell them to shirt ompanies. He says most of the work I do with post-its actually may make it as shirts, just that I need to enlarge them and add more detail. Oh, and to make them understandable to the general public, and not just people in my class/level. Hmm. Maybe after O levels? :X

Sigh. There was this awesome sausage shirt from Paul&Frank in KL that I liked. But it was over a hundred ringit, and that translates to fifty sing. Sigh. Why do all the witty, intresting shirts have to cost so much?!

Well. I guess thats the end of shopping with mother. I complain too much at the outrageous prices. XD; (Happily runs off to cheap-o pasar malam with non-witty, but decent shirts.)

Hmm. Maybe I should design shirts as birthday presents instead of looking forever trying to find an appropriate gift. Yeah. I could start a birthday shirts line, personalized to the birthday girl. I better start soon, then. XD

The return from the mountains

I am baaack. :D

Its been a long time, hasn't it? A week can pack in so much, and in such a short time. As promised, here is the long blogpost of my little trip up to camerons, complete with photos.

But first;


This shot is a birthday photo dedicated to Lesley. Happy birthday! I know you like cats :D if you want a A4 print of this, I will be happy to oblige. Happy late birthday again!

First off, my family and I had to make a quick detour to KL. Horrors of horrors, it turns out that there was no water up at my uncles place in the highlands! In the end, we spent about two days in KL, where we ate, walked around, ate some more, got a bit of food poisoning, ate some more anyway, and shopped. Food in KL is wonderful, but very bad for you. But wonderful anyway. :-D


That there is a kettle for making Bak Kut Teh. The proper way. Not by sticking some powder in hot water, like the way most people do it here. Real tea is brewed, before boiling pig bits in it. Notice that I said pig bits and not pork. This is because EVERYTHING goes in the pot- stomach, intestines, tail. Simply delicious.

I had pig's blood sausage there too. It was as good as I remembered. It gave me food poisoning, but no pain, no gain, eh?


This is a shark in the KL city center aquarium. He dosen't do much. But the fact that he has the nerve to just sleep there for people to gawk amuses me to no end. XD


THIS IS HOW PROPER CHINESE FOOD IS MADE. LOOK AND LEARN, FUTURE CHEFS.

Luckily, the water started flowing on monday, so up went the chua family to invade my Uncle's villa on the mountain.

Small towns on the way up mountains are very photogenic.

So are lizards in said small towns.

"The sky is blue". Proven. Much more photogenic than Singapore's grey skyline.

Lee Villa. The Chua Family Retreat. Occationally No electricity, No hot water, and no mordern distractions! My study haven/ Photo playground for a week.

Because Lee Villa flowers are beautiful.

Raspberries ripe for the picking! And to make Jam with! My sisters and I just went outside whenever we felt peckish and ate them straight off the plant. Way better than potato chips.

This dog occationally came to visit us. She's a natural model, eh?

How I studied.

With my blinding markers.

Study with a view?

even haze is appealing up in the mountains.

Macrooooos.


Eh. Will continue my rambling in another post. This one is too long already!

Run away, to the land of daydreams...

Today was the last day of "School".

(Otherwise known as the extended supplementary lessons that have stolen half of our June holidays.)

AND I AM SO FREAKING HAPPY.

Today was actually kind of fun. With the exclusion of the horrendus Amath test, it was actually quite a slack day. I trained with SJ, stoned during SS and bio, and managed to convince our dear math teacher to have mercy and cancel math class. (Of course, this was done with the rest of said math class, and a lot of whining.)

After the great escape from math, I trained a bit more with Sj and tried to play badminton. Unfortunately my arm muscle was pulled and refused to let my arm straighten without a lot of pain, so I gave up. I apologise for my muscle fail.

Dilys, Joy, Pamela and Nadiyah, one day I will teach you all how to be able to defend yourselves, and to become my secret army of ninja warriors. SJ, practise your kicks and one day you will help me head the army, and I will teach you how to smash tiles. >:D

Running away to cameron highlands tomorrow. HERMITUDE, HERE I COME.

Far far away~

Is where I want to be right now.

I should be studying for math, but I don't really feel like I'm up to it. Blech. Curse you, laziness.

I think I need some motivation besides the impending doom for failing O levels. That does not do much to make one happy and willing to study. If anything, it makes me want to burrow under a pile of pillows like a rodent to sleep until it all goes away.

I hope my little stint as a hermit for a week or so will make me feel better. My Mother is most convinced that all I need is some fresh air and a change in environment. However, that does not mean that I can run away to a mountain somewhere to train like those kung-fu hermits you see in chinese movies.

It is amazing how moms can always read your mind.

I should stop complaining now and get to my math.

I curse you too, procrestination.

T-rex

On request from my sister.

Maybe I should make this the blogger heading.

Or give the dinosaur a top hat.

Yes. A top hat is a good idea.

MATHLETE SWEATER DESIGN

[front and back of the sweater respectively.]
TO KEEP YOU WARM IN THE MATH ROOM.

SHAM, THIS IS FOR YOU.

GO MATHLETES, GOOOO.

ZOMG. AN ANIME THAT TEACHES YOU HISTORY.

WARNING: JAC IS ON a POST-PAINKILLER HIGH. THE FOLLOWING POST MAY NOT MaKE ANY SENSE WHATSOEVER. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
(this is what too much history does to your brain.)
8D

I HAVE FOUND HAPPINESS.

AXIS POWERS HETALIA. WWI, WWII AND A BUNCH OF HUMANFIED COUNTRIES. The puns are so accurate that it hurts.

Ahem.

I mean,what a humerous representation of how countries interact with one another, and their political ties.

Sigh. I have missed the internet.

I am such a nerd.

(By the way, the dude ith huge eyebrows on top is England. His cooking is horrbile, and he is forever annoying the USA and popping his bubble. The awesome.)

Right! Back to life!

Its moving a bit too fast for my taste.

Hey man, its the holidays. Is it neccesary to drown us in papers? Even machines need time to oil their joints and cool off, you know. at this rate, I fear extreme exam burnout. >.>

Sigh. I just want O levels over and done with, I guess.

Yesterday I had a sparring marathon during taekwondo. I missed that. I have come away with not only a rather bruised back, but a slightly sprained ankle. ah well. This is the price of a fight, eh? My mother is threatening to kill me if I don't kill myself first. But I guess I enjoy sparring, so it dosen't really bother me. Its very good stress relief. XD

My grandpa Is getting discharged from hospital the sunday after next! He's so happy. My entire famly is preparing for his return, and we have even started preparing his room so that he can get in comfortably and without much fuss. We have even hooked up the Wii near the front door again so that he can play Raving Rabbids ith us as part of his physio-therapy. He's gotten so good at the underwear washing game that he's managed to beat my high score. I must. Practice. more.

AHAHA I SCORED AS RUSSIA FOR THE HETALIA QUIZ. I don't know whether to be insulted or amused.


You Scored as Russia
Despite having the cruelty of a child, Russia is the tallest of all the nations. He adores vodka and sunflowers. His primary hate is "General Winter", despite using the cold to his advantage in war. Russia has a kind and gentle face, but has mentally cracked from the strain of his bloody history. The other nations are mortified by him, particularly Lithuania, whom he loves to both physically and emotionally abuse. Occasionally, he stalks others while in a panda costume. Russia promises that eventually "everyone will become one with Russia". He also frequently says "KolKolKolKol" to nations he is threatening. Russia is almost always seen carrying a section of pipe. He is classified as a yandere character.



WHAT THE HECK IS A YANDERE CHARACTER.

ITS ALL A LIE. (momentary hiatus notice.)

*complain start*

WE HAVE NO HOLIDAYS.

WE HAVE STUDY BOOT CAMP.

D:

*Complain end*

Sigh. School has sapped all my free time away. Sorry guys, but strangely enough, I cant go on to the internet as often as during term time. Even with the supposed increase of free time (LIESSSSSCOUGHCOUGH) I have too much to do, and too little time. On the third week of june, I will be going up to camerons, where there is no TV, no internet connection, and occasionally no electricity. It will be a nice change of environment, and if I enjoy my little hermit retreat enough, may actually consider getting a permenent residence in a hole on some mountain somewhere.

Well, here's to my upcoming withdawal from society. Bye people. (:
