Great, 2012 HAD to be the year I have prom :(

Today, I went to watch 2012 at Trop City Mall :) It was a movie I've been dying to watch even before it was released, and it was SUCH AN AWESOME MOVIE! The effects and everything, whoa! Okay fine, it was a little 'Hollywood-ish' when John Cusack's limo was the only one surviving through all the sinking roads, but overall, it was a good movie. A compilation of awareness, tearing and humor stirred up in the hearts of people who watch it. (at least for me, heh) Awesome movie, really. Worth watching the second time, and the third time, and the fourth time and the fifth time, and etc. (honestly, I think I won't watch it THAT many times again la :P)

The only thing Terry objected about the movie was that the end of the world stuff like the tsunami and all only lasted for a total of 27 days. But I think otherwise; the only thing I have to say in objection about this movie is, WHY KILL SASHA?! :'(

After all my friends watched it before I did, when asked, "How was 2012? Nice ar?" responded with, "It was a good movie, but sad, cos' they killed the hot guy". At first I thought they meant John Cusack, but then when I saw Sasha, (the very extremely good looking pilot :D) I instantly abandoned all thoughts about John Cusack. Then suddenly, boom, the plane crashes. Sasha dies. I cry, "NOOOOOO!" :(

Oh erm, fyi, SASHA'S A GUY. And his real name is JOHANN URB. And he's an ESTONIAN *awesomeness! :D* and a bit of Talinn (what's that? o_o), AND he has a sexy accent!!! :'D He's an ACTOR CUM MODEL too! *EEEEP!* Oh, did I mention, he's ESTONIAN? ;D

These pics are not shots from the movie; mostly from his modeling and acting career I guess? Couldn't find pics of him as a PILOT *eeep!* in 2012, booo :( Oh well, these will have to do. But, wait till you see him smile! :D

*gasp* DIMPLES! How cute! :D Haha *cough cough* please excuse me, I'm not feeling like myself today, having these kind of celebrity crushes. But he IS hot, k! If you don't think he is, we just have different taste in guys then. The fact that he's in that weird movie, 'The Hottie And The Nottie' disturbs me, but I'm ignoring it, lalala ;D My sister saw the pics and has decided to watch 2012, and I'll be watching it for the second time, heh. I CAN'T WAIT :D YOU SHOULD WATCH IT TOO! Not ONLY because Johann Urb is in it, but also because it's a good movie. That's all for now! Taa'!

At a child's glee.

Wednesday, 18th November 09- Went back to SKTM for its annual Hari Kanak-Kanak celebration. I insisted on going despite my mom going all, "*sarcastic glare*, you kanak-kanak ah?" because it was my chance to meet old friends from other schools like Hong, Yang, Iain and etc. again :) Although I didn't really get to catch up much with them as we're not really that close, getting to see them again already made me feel contented.

I bumped into Hong and Yang when I was on my way into the school compound. I haven't seen them since I stopped BM tuition, I think? So yup, immediately Hong did what he did best, he compared his height with mine, pffft. (obviously he was much taller than me la, eeesh, these twin towers) Said hi to some teachers at the tapak perhimpunan and then found Atiqah, Amanda, Cherish, Nadia and Eunise at the highest floor of the Tahap 1 building, so I quickly headed there. Then, I saw ALEXEI, whom I haven't seen since the last day of my Std 5 schooling days! WHOA, he still looked the same, only taller :D

I had fun watching the performances with Amanda and Tiqah, laughing at how a bunch of Std 6's actually used a name I once made up as a joke to annoy Tiqah and Mun Lee (the die hard SUJU fans, especially Tiqah) as their dance group name, HAHA. I remember, that time we were in class, and I was all, "Next time, when I grow up and become famous, I shall form a band and call it 'Super Senior!' :D", and Tiqah and Mun Lee were like, "O.m.g *stabs self in presence of Alycia's lameness*" So I couldn't stop laughing when I heard that name being called out :'D The performances were a whole lot of fun with them two with me :)

Amanda and her plant :P

Atiqah!! :D Finally a shot with you! And no, I think you look nice here :) *ohmy, I gotta start sleeping earlier! My EYEBAGS, O_O*

Manda and Tiqah :)

Haha, I remember how we wanted to go to the toilet and Yang (or was it Hong? o_o) stopped us, saying, "No, don't go in! The clown is inside!" Raising our eyebrows at how absurd that sounded and not believing him, we went in, and ohmygoodness, there WAS a clown in there O_O HAHA, it was soooo lame :P For one, what was a MALE clown doing in a GIRL's bathroom, and secondly, how did YANG, (or HONG) even know the MALE clown was in the GIRL's bathroom when he's a MALE? Tsk tsk tsk* ;D

After saying hi and salam-ing with more teachers like Pn. Hidayu, Pn. Angie and En. Mhd Nor, Manda and I were about to pay a visit to the two super cute boys we suddenly remembered about; one was named Matthew and the other Ian, (something like that) they were in std 1 when we were in std 6, so yeah, we wanted to see how they are now, remembering that they were now in std 3. But before we could, the school's PA system announced:

"*the opening part of the airport-like-sound-system thingy* ATTENTION TO ALL EX-STUDENTS. PLEASE LEAVE THE SCHOOL NOW. *the closing part of the airport-like-sound-system thingy* "

Of course we were like, O_O-fied. But oh well, had no choice but to leave for Ming Tien. I feel lazy to type more, so pictures lah :D

An incomplete picture sadly, but I still love it :)

Haha, Cherish in action with her camwhoring. (haha, Cherish, remember what camwhoring is, translated into BM? :P)

Cherish :)

Atiqah and her poster. HAHA, she covered that guy's face! (see, I can never get these Korean names right, pft -.-)

Cherish: "Alycia, come take photo of this!"
Alycia: "Why are you putting an 'X' in front of that guy's face?"
Cherish: "cos' he's not hot!"
Atiqah: "NO, *inserts name here* is hot la, you should see him when he doesn't tie up his hair, *blablablabla*"

Oh man. Mun Lee, I blame you for this! :P

Oh oh, THIS PICTURE. Ohmygoodness la, I'm telling you. He looks EXACTLY LIKE TERRY TEE THE TUTOR. Anyone agrees? Yes la, seriously, Lin Dan looks just like Terry here. Scary O_O

Anyway, at Ming Tien, Iain, Liang Jun and Kreeshvwar joined us! :D When we walked back, we went to the playground in front of SKTM and fooled around there. Haha, Nadia looked so bergaya standing on the seat-less swing ;D After that, we headed to the back gate of the school, which was really developed. O_O It reminded me a lot of DJ's pavilion, and imagine, it's just a place for primary school students to hang around while waiting for their transport home everyday! Lucky buncha kids :(

Thank you, 5E students for fattening us 'beggars' outside your schools' back gate! :)

Haha, I don't know why but this picture just makes me smile everytime I look at it :P I bet it's the same with Cherish :)

Liang Jun :D

Iain finds this picture very nice. Don't ask me why, I can barely see our faces here, but oh well, if he likes it, I like it too :D *haha, so peer pressure-ish*

Iain Liew, whom I haven't met for a whole year :')

Yup, that's all the pictures I have! To top it all up, although the 'suasana' of Hari KK this year wasn't as 'meriah' as last year's, I didn't regret going even one bit :) Although SKTM which turned from small dewan's to advanced (try saying small dewan's and then advanced, and you'll see that I picked the phrase 'small dewan's' to rhyme it with advanced! Geddit? ;D) doesn't make me feel that homely feeling anymore with all its new changes, I had a great time nevertheless, getting to meet old friends and dear teachers again. Must plan more outings this hols lah. Hari KK was the bomb, thanks to you all! I can't imagine getting kicked out of the school, all alone :)

Okay then, that's about it for this post. Taa'! ;D

The Change

Yes, I know it's late and I should be asleep and blah blahh. But I suddenly feel that I owe my band members a blog post. Indeed, I am referring to members of 'The Change'. Two weeks ago, Pn. Julie announced about this competition known as 'DJ's Got Talent' during our weekly assembly. Somehow, my ears perked up at the sound of that, and the first person who came into my mind for me to join this competition with was the one and only Rayshell Wong Rui En.


Coincidentally, Rayshell and Kar Mun already decided to participate in this when I found them outside the school hall. It was all really fated, I must say. Slowly, things started falling into place. From the numerous songs we were choosing from, Rayshell and I finally came down to three songs; More Than Words, Tongue Tied and Here In My Home. I still remember the first practice we had at Jit Haw's house; the fun we had jamming, making fun of Jit and his Powerpuff Girls mug and shaking our heads at Rayshell who kept making fun of Jit's poor dog. (*ahem* An ewe-b*tch was what Rayshell called it :P) The first practice was short, but productive nevertheless, despite most members being extremely late. Not to mention, Rayshell and I managed to get some help from Ken Vyn, James and Tian Xi at Impact that day. Thank you, you three. It was really great help :)


The second practice was the more crucial one. Not only because Jit was sniffing sick, but also because we realized that we still couldn't master More Than Words on guitar and Here In My Home was abit difficult when it came to the vocals. However, we did not fret. Kantoi was our solution to the problem. Rayshell managed to master the guitar chords in no time and we had a great time practising on that. We even planned in advance that we would save that as a surprise for the finals IF we actually qualified. Then, we ran through the whole performance over and over again, while having fun here and there with Kar Mun's lovely piano playing, accompanied by the beautiful tune produced by I-Ern on his violin in 'Right Here Waiting'. Jit's mom was really nice and hospitable; she too, is someone I have to really thank :)

Monday, the first day of the auditions. We only played 'Right Here Waiting' and 'Tongue Tied' there. If you ask me to count the number of times I practised Tongue Tied with Rayshell who played the guitar while harmonizing, (yeah, she is one heck of a talented person! :D) I'd miserably fail to count. Well, our performance wasn't perfect, but it was overall not bad. We were a bit nervous for the next day as Miss Ely commented something about the balancing of our voices, so after the auditions, Rayshell and I went outside the hall with Ken Vyn who was really nice to stay back the whole day to watch the whole thing and support us. There, we actually considered playing other songs, including my own self-written songs and Use Somebody. I must say, Ken Vyn was really great help there.


Tuesday, the second day of the auditions. We decided to perform 'Right Here Waiting' as usual, the acoustic version of 'Tongue Tied' and 'Kantoi'. Everything had to be either instrumental or acoustic as Jit couldn't make it that day. We thought we did fine, but when it was time for the comments, it was honestly quite a kill joy, as I guess we weren't ready to expect the worst. However, we qualified to the competition! I still felt really anxious that evening though, thinking, "What song do we sing next?" That night, Rayshell and I were pretty much stressing out on MSN, suggesting all kinds of songs to each other. But I chose to end all this by saying,

"Hey Rayshell, let's just not care about what the judge has to say about us tomorrow anymore. Let's not care about what will impress them and what wouldn't. After all, the reason why we joined this competition in the first place was to have fun, and not to win. So, let's just have fun!"
I know it sounds very HSM-ish typed out here but well, it really did help to calm us down. We managed to pick our song right after that! Praise God, really :)

Wednesday, the competition day itself. Went to Jit's place at 9 sharp, and he wasn't expecting us, heh. It was only the three of us there as practice was planned at the very last minute. However, we still managed to practise productively and even managed to watch Charlie The Unicorn! :X (not good, not good) Went to school in our attire straight away. I could tell Rayshell was really nervous when it neared to our turn, she was scribbling on a piece of paper non-stop. But when all five of us, I-Ern; violinist, Kar Mun; pianist, Jit Haw; drummer, Rayshell; guitarist and singer and myself went up on stage.. Well, I wasn't sure what they all were feeling, but for me, I lost all my anxiety which I initially only had very little of. I just trusted God on our performance that day, not caring what the judges would have to say and stuff. Most important thing was that we did our best and had fun :) You guys are awesome and did a great job up there!


Well, we expected the P's to come in first, but instead The Cast did. (Congrats to The Cast!) Oh well, everyone did an awesome job nevertheless, not counting who came in first or whatsoever :) We didn't win anything but we were perfectly fine with it, as we knew we tried our very best. Through this DJ's Got Talent competition, I gained a lot of experience; it really opened up my eyes to see the various talents the afternoon sessioners have to show to everyone. I had a very great time during band practices with Rayshell, Jit, Kar Mun and I-Ern (although he didn't talk much :D) too! Although the competition took away three of my last few school days, I do not regret participating in it. It was really worth the experience, time and everything lah.

A big, big thank you to people like Ken Vyn and Tian Xi for being so supportive the whole time, Miss Ely for her sharp and honest feedbacks, and everyone who gave us encouragement and support throughout the competition. I really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. As for The Change, you guys are the best la, and I love you all. DJ's Got Talent was the bomb, and

I will NEVER forget The Change :)

I iz quite the happy today

BECAUSE, I GOT MY PHONE BACK! :) My beloved N73 which has been MIA-ing throughout this whole year, thanks to its mentally challenged pixel screen. And now, it's back! Man, I missed it so much :D

Anyway, today, I tried to clean my very extremely nerdy-looking study table. Like, "OH YEAH! FINALLY I'LL GET TO CLEAR ALL THESE JUNK OFF THE TABLE AND MAKE SOME SPACE FOR ME TO AT LEAST MAKE CARDS OR USE THE COMP". Well.. It went.. pretty well? ;D Heh. Heh. Heh.

Okay. It was a failure. This is all I was able to get rid off. Yes, only THIS. How pathetic is that? O_O

And THESE are SOME of the countless books that are going to continue stealing my Jupiter and Mars away from me till after PMR :(
[fyi, if you are wondering what I mean by 'stealing my Jupiter and Mars away from me', it is another Alycioriginal, which is a more expressive way of saying, "taking up my SPACE", geddit?] :'D

And yes, the highest pile happens to be the one packed with revision books which I have to bear with till after PMR, argh. Lucky you people who already got it over with :\

In case you were wondering, yes, I left my room like that halfway. So yeah, my room looks like a mini bookstore in the middle of a stock count! Very extremely neat, I tell you -.- Oh well, I'll get to it soon lah. Gee, I feel like such a slacker :P

I'M SO FAMOUS THAT YOU NEED A TELESCOPE TO SEE ME :D

cos' I'm a STAR! :D

Yep, another one of them lame Alycioriginals ;D Geddit, famous, telescope, star?! *big cheesy grin* Yes, I know I'm superly duperly lame, tyvm ;D I learned it from the best. *ahem* TimSim *ahem*


Argh, school's closing, Impact's closing, what next? Impact closing was awesome, I can't wait till camp! Eeep! I'm going to miss Impact very much :'(

I see the best of me inside your eyes.

12th November 09- Last day of school. The whole DJ Talent thingy is over, and now school is too. Went to school early for class party, but didn't eat much. Bought my tanda sesi and felt old :( I didn't regret joining DJ's Got Talent, but at the same time I did, slightly. Why? Simply because I missed out a whole lot with Amanda, Mun Yan, Tiqah and Mun Lee. It was the last week of school and before I knew it, after the competition was over, I was only left with one day of school with them four as my classmates. We played The Game Of Life and then Hangman. And as they moved on to 'chi gu pak' when I didn't feel like playing.. That whole heavy hearted feeling started to fill me up.


It was English period and Miss Ely called me out. She showed me a video she took of 'The Change' when we were on stage, then I had a chat with her for a while. She's like a friend to me now. When I went back to sit down, A whole lot of things started to flash back in my mind, including the first day of school. I realized that Miss Ely was the first teacher to walk into 2 Belian this year, and the last to walk out. Then as I turned my eyes to Amanda, Szen, Kabir, Mun Yan, Jun Yee, Ang, Tiqah, Mun Lee and then Justin.. I just felt so... sad. Then this played back in my mind. (taken from my post about the first day of school in 2 Belian 09)
-

Monday- The first day of school 2009. I was like some crazy endless-hug-machine or something seeing all my friends again. Sat beside Amanda in class and Mun Lee and Tiqah sat behind us. Pffft, got elected as Naib Pengerusi for class, AGAIN omg! :\ (Amanda: "Cos' you're SO RESPONSIBLE blahh") -.- Sigh, looks like the Buku Pencegah Ponteng really loves me :\ During Miss Ely's English period, we were to introduce ourselves by telling her our names and saying what particular thing or whatsoever we liked, so;

Me: My name is Tan Wei Wenn (pffft) but most of my friends call me Alycia, and.. I like myself! :D
Miss Ely: Okay, I admire people who like themselves! Next!
Amanda: My name is Amanda and I like her too! *points at me*
Me: *grins*
Miss Ely: *nods head* okay..
Mun Lee: My name is Mun Lee and.. I LIKE BOTH OF THEM! :D

Then..

Atiqah: I'm Atiqah and I LIKE NONE OF THEM!

-

I remember how excited I was at the start of the school year this year when I found out I was going to 2 Belian along with so many people I knew. Well, turns out I was right all along when I thought it was going to be an awesome year there. At the start of the year, I can say that I actually drifted so far from Tiqah that we didn't even have proper conversations anymore, we barely even had much to talk about with Mun Yan, Tiqah barely even knew Amanda, and I think she thought of Mun Lee as annoying :P And as the year went by till this very moment, wow. We're so close, that you can't even squeeze a lidi stick through us.


Amazing huh, how time works and flies. As embarrassing as it may sound, when the school bell rang, I cried hugging Tiqah and Mun Lee. And even more embarrassing as it may sound, they were at first fine, but started crying too when they saw me crying. Comparing what we were doing at the start of the first day of school with what we were doing at the end of the last day of school = Whoa.

Ohmygoodness. I hate you guys so much :( [you know this is another one of my "LOSER!" moments] I feel like crying even as I'm typing this. Idk, at that moment, a million thoughts started rushing to my head, thinking, "What would it be like if we weren't in the same class anymore next year?", "What if we drifted apart and never got as close to each other as we were before?", "What if everything that made us smile and laugh so much throughout the year disappeared next year?", "What if...." So yeah, even in the car, and when I got home, I got laughed at by my parents as I was still tearing. *yup, I'm an emotional kid* -.-


Chit chatting about movies, siblings, parents, books which I never read, things that don't make sense at all, and countless other things; I don't want it to end so fast.. Everything just flew past me in a blink of an eye. School year 2009 ended way too fast, before I even got the chance to experience it fully. Now, everything we went through together; thick and thin, whether it was Ikan Sashimi, making up some silly video of "Sorry Sorry Sorry", laughing our butts off until we couldn't even do a proper badminton serve, and even getting into trouble together for being late for PJPK lesson, seem so far away.

MAMAT, (Mun Lee, Amanda, Mun Yan, Atiqah) I've never laughed as much as I did with anyone as much as I did when I am with you guys.

It's only been two days, but I miss 2 Belian so much already. I miss MAMAT, I miss all my teachers this year, I miss EVERYTHING about 2 Belian :( If we all got the chance to remain in the same class next year; all of us, wow, I'd be overjoyed.

Anyhow, it has been one heck of an awesome year with you guys, especially Amanda, Tiqah, Mun Lee, Mun Yan, Ang, Szen, Justin and Jun Yee, and I'd do anything to have it all again :') Thank you for making 2009 such a marvelous year for me.

I love you all so so so so much, and we MUST plan lots and lots of stuff throughout the holidays. There's so much more that I want to say but words can never suffice for how happy you guys made me throughout the year. Thank you so much. I love you all, and I'll never forget all the times we had together. I'm going to miss 2 Belian very dearly.

Goodbye, 2 Belian :( Eeesh, I hate goodbyes.

'Comfort-ability', ahaha.

"I'm the ghost of pigs' past *snort*"- hehe, so adorable rightt!

Sleeping early tonight to avoid voice-losing tomorrow :P Had band practice for two days in a row. It was really fun, I had a great time :D Okayy. Signing out now! It's so early! *yep, 12 am is now counted as early, how much worse could my sleeping habits get!* Heh ;) Anyway, taa'! Everyone participating, all the best for the DJ Talent Auditions tomorrow aight'! Looking forward to see everyone perform! :)
