From table cloths, chair covers, red carpet arrangements to photowall placement, stage and dance floor setting... after finalizing that and a whole bunch of other stuff, the big night finally arrived - SMK BUD(4)'s Senior Prom 2011. Though not a senior myself (yet), couple of us form fours were part of the Prom Committee, lending a helping hand and earning some experience when it comes to event planning.
Junior Committee with Sue Ann <3
But my hat's off to Sue Ann and Justin the head of the committee for making it all happen. Gotta admit planning an event like this with absolutely no money is tough, but for the sake of putting a memorable touch to the end of their high school years, they did it. Though there were couple of obstacles along the way that's undeniable, but nevertheless everything manage to fall right into place. The committee is super duper thankful for having such awesome photographers, bands, dancers, that evening, couldn't be thankful enough! :')

Photo timeee :)
Congrats to all the winners that night. I had a pleasant time working with Sue Ann and the others in helping organize this event. I guess everyone knew the hard work and effort she put up for this event, and returned the favor by crowning her Prom Queen of Prom 2011. Well deserved ;) The night ended with everyone dancing their worries away on the dance floor to the thumping beats by the DJ. Well, I hope everyone enjoyed the night in memories of their high school journey. Hopefully, when my time comes our prom too would be as successful as this. Till the next post, xo.
Please forgive me for my sudden absence in the blogosphere, life has been really hectic this year. Also proven by the drastic downhill in the number of posts this year compared to past year's. I have to admit I kind of lost my blogging mojo, I've tried opening Blogger several times before this, but all that came out was 'hello guys' and .... that's it. Oh well, but this time Imma sit my ass down on this not-so-comfortable chair and start typing out some crap that hopefully people will read.
Tanjung Sepat, known for it's great seafood and nevertheless the Mui Choi Pau (veggie pau). The family wanted to head down there for a food trip weeks ago, but no action was taken until today. Hmm, must be a 20112011-thing I guess? I would do anything for good food, so food trip it was! Plus, it was a perfect opportunity for a semi-vacation though I wouldn't call it a vacation but, with packed schedules like mine and the rents' where in the world can we find time for a week long vacay. It was my second time heading down to Tanjung Sepat, the last time I've been there was during my Port Dickson trip, we stopped by Tanjung Sepat for lunch and to purchase some of their well known paus, but sadly they were out of stock then. No fret, no fret this time, we've got plenty, and I mean really. 50 veggie stuffed paus, U MAD? :P Well, obviously they aren't all for us but for ze lovely relatives and neighbours :)
The SEAFOOD, yes according to my mom if you Google "Tanjung Sepat Seafood", the first place that pops up would be Ocen Restaurant, and yeap that was where we stopped for lunch. The restaurant was situated by the sea thus the breeeezzeee, i laike. As we waited for the food to come, rents' and I decided to take a stroll down the near by jetty. The sun was scorching hot, hallelujah for shades, my eyes would've been fried without them. Great time to even out my two toned skin too ^_^ But seriously, after volley practice that day the two tone got even more obvious, gah someone invite me swimming or to a beach please, I'm desperate to even out my skin tone! Enough of my rants, moving on. Food was pretty good, the clams and crabs were really fresh!, the only downside was the portion of the crabs, it was really small :( Not long after that, we got back on the road and made our journey back to KL, made a few stops on the way such as the Dragon Fruit Farm, even had a dragon fruit popsicle, hehehe ^_^v and also some kajang satay at the Dengkil rest stop. I'm more than satisfied with this trip though only 7 hours but, heh. Like I said I would do anything to get my hands on some good food ;) Till the next post, take care!
These are our excited asses just before leaving for Cheer Clinic 2011. I love my girls, BLϟTZERZ. Look at our shirts, YES it's finally here! MY DESIGNS, COME TO LIFE! Though I'm a tad bit disappointed with the back and I think we could have gotten a less see through material but other than that it's how I pictured it, clean and fresh, simplicity at it's best ;) That totally rhymed! Can't wait for the black one.
Of all fine days to twist my ankle, it happened during Cheer Clinic, while we were performing our routine to the judges -_- GREAT. You would probably die of laughter if I told you how I twisted it. Should save myself the humiliation and get back to icing my swollen ankle :(
current yesterday's state. Gotten better today, yey ^_^v
I'm so hating myself for this. Please god, help me recover in time for competition.
Pray guys prayyyy! FOR BLITZERZ.
[EDIT:]
Screw the counter, competition has been postponed to the 24th of July!
Which, is good new for my ankle but bad news for the competitors since it's only a one day competition! D: There's no room for mistakes, we only got 1 chance to perform, better not blow it.
Competition only gets tougher and tougher each year ._.
wish us luck, bud4 boleh!
Hello! Hope everyone's enjoying their school holidays!
Well I sure am, after having to finally dye my hair for the first time. HEEE. I thought of coloring my hair a couple of months ago, that's when I decided to buy the Leise Bubble Hair Dye. I asked Melissa's opinion on it since she has tried Liese's Bubble Hair Dye before and coincidentally she was using the same color that I had bought! I wanted something subtle and natural looking so I went for Liese's second darkest color -- Chestnut Brown.
I got my hair dye from Sasa. They were having their weekly sale, so it was discounted to RM34 if I'm not mistaken. They even gave me a free mask and a tiny butterfly keychain :)
Hmm, I would say this hair dye is rather fun to do on a little DIY weekend. But I would recommend getting someone to help you on your first try. Like my mom, she helped me out with this one, and since my hair is kind of short I had left overs so she joined the fun x)
MUST DO's:
>> Be in a well ventilated area/ with mini fan or opened windows. This is cause the dye gives out a really really strong ammonia smell, it has already been more than 24hours and yet the smell is still in my hair!
>> Apply oil base product eg.Petroleum Jelly on forehead, ears and neck to avoid staining.
>> Wear some raggy-ol' t-shirt or just cut a plastic bag a tie it around your neck, like what I did.
>> Wear gloves, duh.
& have fun :D
End results under sunlight.
It's only noticeable when the light hits, but indoors hardly anyone notices it. Unless you actually knew how black my hair was previously, it would be really obvious. Well maybe I'm speaking too soon, cause Melissa says it'll get lighter and lighter after more washes. So we'll see... Overall I guess I'm pretty satisfied with this product. Go give it a try since it's the holidays!
I'm so sorry for my somewhat prolonged blogging absence. However, this week has been particularly busy. From Inter-house Basketball competition held on Monday and Tuesday, to hopping from cheer practices to basketball practices each other day. Inter-house was great, yellow house did an amazing job winning all 3 matches and snagging first place for all categories in basketball. I'm so happy :')
Next, MSSD basketball next Tuesday! Scraped my left knee in finals of inter-house and got a nasty wound, [insert some graphic disturbing photo] let's hope it doesn't affect my performance. "Let's hope for the best, we can do this." i know i say line too much in a basketball match. HAHA

Besides that, I also attended Perfection's annual Celebrative Hi-Tea last Saturday with a couple of my tuition buddies. It was a dress to impress event so, everyone dolled up and got their best outfit on that afternoon. Brian looked rather dashing that evening, with his new haircut and formal attire, not to mention Mr. Loke too, who doesn't seem to admit that it was him, when we questioned him in tuition last night. He claims the guy we saw that day was his "twin bother". HA-HA!
Hitched a ride with Amelia to Perfection's HQ located in Kepong. Food there was good, but the only down side to it was it was very hard to eat as there were no tables. They were performances by both students and teachers that evening. It was like watching my school's very own Malam Bakat, which was held a night before the Hi-tea. (didn't attend malam bakat cause I had Physics &Add Math tuition, sue me :P ) Crashed at Regine's that night and it was straight to basketball training the next morning.
Mouth watering or what? I only took pictures of this table, cause it was my favorite. HEE
Just look at the amount of BERRIES! #.#
My rockstars and I. Lyonnes too performed that evening.
with my tuition buds (who apparently ganged up on me to score 6A's, haha!), including Brian,
Christopher and Keeve who helped took this photo.
The following day, had an hour of badminton with ze badminton buddies, Brian, Arif and Yong Jac. Mom decided to pay for our first game. After that it was dinner at Asia Cafe next door.
Well as you can see in this photo right here, Blitzerz was at the semi finals and finals of the CIMB KL Open Squash Championship held in Berjaya Times Square last weekend, where our very own Nicol David emerged triumphant for the 7th time! She was up against Word No. 6 Madeline Perry of Ireland in the finals. Nicol took just 34 minutes to win the match 11-6, 11-6, 11-2. However, in the men's finals, both from Egypt, world No.3 Karim Darwish beat Mohamed El Shorbagy 11-9, 11-9, 11-3 in a game of 53 minutes. That match in particular was really exiting to watch as the 2 men's scores were really close!
As cheerleaders, we were invited to perform for them in between matches. Got there early on Day 1 for makeup. Vinyi and Amanda were just darls to volunteer themselves to help with the makeup. After getting our makeup done, we then head in the court for some warm up. After that we went to grab a bite, practically raided the whole Cold Storage.
Soon after lunch we were told to be seated down as the game was about to start. Us cheerleaders were given seats directly behind the players, so it was really a fan girl moment for all of us. Funniest part is when the guy players take their shirts off in between matches to change to another one, and of course the camera would be facing the players, you couldn't imagine how much Ashley and I were trying not to laugh.
We were told to only perform three routines a day, but we ended up doing five on Day 1. I was so eager for it to make it on live TV, that I'd already set it for recording at home. Came home and watch through it, to find only a glimpse of our routine for Day 1. However on Day 2, careless me forgot to set recording and BAM, NOTHING! :( Mom said they aired it on TV, so hating myself for this.
Performance wise I think we did great! All stunts went up for all 7 routines, succeeded the 21 front walks I did in total for 2 days, Mel's side aerial is getting better by the try, not to forget Yuzana's front walk, and everyone else's. Great job!
Lunch at our so called "Japanese styled" restaurant. (it was just a bench in the middle of no where)

Nicol was kind enough to sign my jersey on the second day. IKR, basketball? I couldn't think of anything else!
The half routine, on DAY 1
Overall, it was a great but exhausting experience, really enjoyed myself. Now, I think i caught the flu :(
BYE.
Nothing exiting happening so far now in my life. But....
Did I mention I finally got to try the 'most sought after' macarons? Yeah I did, like finally. They were made by one of Pn.Chan's ex-student. A couple of my classmates were ordering them so I said why not? They were really, i mean really pricey so I only ordered 2, heh. I can't lie, but they were really yummy. Can't wait to try some more macarons, as promised by Nick korkor, that is if we visit him in Sydney (hopefully).
Day 2. Greys have faded. Redish is a good sign. :)
Cheer practices are going on as usual during the holidays. Sprained my pinky finger at yesterday's gym session. Got it while I was catching puanpuan from her kick double, which she manage to ace effortlessly. It's starting to swell and bruise now, but not to worry it ain't broken. Just some resting, ointment rubs & tape will do the trick ;)
Pst, Blitzerz will be performing at the CIMB Squash Tournament this weekend. Either check us out at Time Square or live on Astro channel 801! :D

The rest of the month were just filled with school, cheer practices, basketball practices and pop quizzes. Still getting the hang of the new subjects like Add Math, Physics and Chemistry. Like they say, form3 doesn't prepare you at all to face form4. All I can do now for myself is to work hard and try not to get carried away by the playfulness of my class. Nick korkor came back to Malaysia last November and he just flew back last Wednesday. Hope his doing well there. Cheer practices have been doing okay lately, no longer a flier as some of you may have already known. I'm a backspot now, soon be getting those bruises GOT them already sista! Haha, which I might have brought it up in my English ULBS last Friday that I did on Cheerleading. HEE ^_^v
Speaking about basketball I joined back the team! So stupid for me to have left in the first place. Don't like talking about why I left, it was really a tough time for me. Got our jerseys this morning at training, I'm really happy with the design and colors this time. But if only it had our names on it like the picture above, I would be even happier. (I edited my name onto it, just so you know.)
Splits to God.
This has been by far the most unorganized post, KTHXBYE. x
