Whoa, I thought the last time I updated was like... forever, but it was only exactly a month ago only! Well, I'm memang bad at estimation so I can't take all of the blame. xP Anyway, I'll talk about the few things I remember about since the last time I wrote here.

Firstly, there're the debates held at school. I tried out once, but didn't make the cut. I tried a second time, and I still couldn't get in. The reason? The teacher thought I was too soft. Too soft?? Doesn't she know how loud I usually am? I try to keep quiet and usually fail too! Okay, so that isn't really something to be proud of but bleh.

Then, there's choral speaking. Uh... I don't think there's a teacher in charge and I think stuff are really getting out of hands. I mean... we took up about an hour trying to train about six people to sound okay or 'in harmony', but failed miserably. Really. It just didn't work. I'm having doubts about trying out or thinking about entering at all, but I don't want to let my friends down or anything. >_<

Ah, public speaking too! As far as I know, there're two parts for this competition. The first part is to present a prepared speech, and the second is to speak about a topic that is given to you 4 minutes beforehand for 3 minutes. I have no fear whatsoever for the first section, but the second one is a completely different story. If I ever enter and mess up, it would almost be guaranteed to be the second half. I don't think I'll enter at all. Some scaredy cat I am. >>;

Just yesterday, I went to try out for the school's drama team. I'm now under probation, and we'll see if I can enter for sure next week on Monday. I'm doubting I can do well for this, but I think I can get in. I think I'm bad at it, but not that bad as to not be able to enter. Well, all I can do is just hope I can do it. I hope my other friends can get in too, of course; it's no fun without you guys and girls! No use practicing for me- I'll just get worse by laughing my head off every time I try act emo or act like a sadist.

The discipline teacher gave my class penalty marks because I wore coloured contacts. Now tell me, is that unreasonable or what? I asked her why I can't wear them, and she simply says, "Don't ask why! It's just like dyeing your hair! It's just not allowed." All in Malay and complete with slang, of course. I nodded dumbly and just let her walk away. She's warned me once before, and I totally ignored her then too. She doesn't really expect me to throw my dear precious contacts just because 'it's not allowed', does she? Um, she probably does, but I don't care. Really. It's a new pair, and I'm going to wear them to their full extent, and she can't do anything about it, so there! *sticks tongue out* All of my friends keep asking me, why didn't I tell her it was my native eye colour? The thing is, I would've loved to tell her that, except that I forgot I could say that the first time she caught me, and because of my dumb reflexes, I simply said, "Yeah, they're coloured contacts," when she questioned me. Okay, that was a long sentence and it might've not made any sense, but I'm not going to read it over again. Just try squeeze some sense out of it, yeah?

Oh, and my parents held an open house last Saturday! I invited several people, and all of them made it except for two people. Who are guys. Male. You get the point. Girls are way more loyal. =X Just kidding, guys! I don't mean it! But then, I wasn't lying when I said the two friends of mine who couldn't come are guys. One had no reason at all; I just got a text message saying he couldn't make it, and he was sorry. That was all. He had a reason, maybe, but I can't remember what it was. >< The second guy had another event to attend. His church was having a 'Valentine's Night' or something like that. I still think it's odd that it was held on the 16th and not the 14th though. I asked him like what, three times(?) and he evaded the question every single time. I don't know if he's just ignoring me, or if he really didn't notice my question. Oh well. Anyway, the ones who could come made the party great! I hope everyone had a good time. I sure did, and I'm sorry if some of you got bored or anything. I'm a bad host, I really am. *hits self on the head*

P.S. I don't think I'm used to morning schooling sessions just yet. I become really sleepy by midday, and feel all dead in the morning when I reach school. Yesterday, I slept from 5pm til 6.30am and still felt groggy. Sleep deprivation = Not good for you. Get enough sleep, all meh friendlies! It keeps you fresh and active!
