HELLO SOPHOMORE YEAR
As much as I hate it and want to immortalize it, the holiday between my last semester of my foundation and my first year of degree has come to a close last week; certainly justifying the famous phrase "all good things come to an end". I've only been to the first week of classes and all my mind could fathom is the dreadful homework / assignments / projects / presentations (ultimate dread) / whatnots. The reason I cross out projects is because, well, I think projects — with or without a partner/group — are pretty fun. If you're a close friend/family, you'd know that I love to get my hands dirty. Practical things to me are so much fun to deal with, rather than theory... Boring ol' theory where you sit and understand your textbook or in my case, attempt and fail miserably and then end up memorizing it all. Ridiculous, really. Presentations though, is pretty practical actually. What I'm still working on is my fluency in speaking to a crowd of > 20 people. That's 20 pairs of eyes looking at your every move. Duh, I'm going to stutter. Hence, dreadful.
And it's not like I have to present my slides in French. That would be a good excuse to stutter. I have been speaking English more than any other language in the world. All I hear is English! (Minus the obvious fact that it's the most fluent language my brain can compute.) I may or may not have been diagnosed with stutter issues; I wouldn't know because I never really go to the doctors/speech therapist for such. I'm not sure in severe cases, but for me, the words are sentenced perfectly in my brain — stitched together with my voice and facial expressions — and when it's time to say those magic words, somehow it seems like some letters are stuck somewhere in my veins causing me to stop talking and stare blankly at the person whom I'm talking to. I mean, it's not like I can't string together a sentence. I can or could talk normally, but my stuttering is like a more-than-a-once-in-a-blue-moon-but-less-than-sometimes thing. Somewhere between those lines.
Other updates, Grace has finally flown off to the U.S. for her accounting degree — possibly finishing her Masters there too — at Buffalo, NY., which is a 20 minutes drive to Niagara Falls BTW. I'm so jelly thinking about it. Plus, her flooding me with pictures of her picnic/hangs in Niagara Falls (which has become a norm for her recently) isn't really helping. I don't blame her though, I would have done the same. I sent a request asking her to get me those overrated I❤NY t-shirt and she sent them through mail, along with a postcard!; her parents being the mailman because she sent those all together at once. The t-shirt is fairly humongous for my tiny frame but meh, who cares? It's a freaking I❤NY t-shirt. Grace sent a separate letter addressed to me, so this one was sent by the official mailman. Hahahaha. The very first thing that got me intrigued was the metal fastener the envelope had... But my excitement wore down when my sister said that Malaysia had those too. Oh.
Recently, I decided to brush up on my piano skills. I learned a few songs and thought I was pretty amazing... And then I kept playing each song over and over and over again to learn that it was actually easy and I wasn't amazing afterall. Damn.
1. "Wonderwall" by Oasis
2. "Fix You" by Coldplay
3. "We Are Young" by Fun.
4. "To Make You Feel My Love" by Adele (originally by Bob Dylan) — I'm exceptionally proud of myself for this one.
5. I can't remember?
So hopeless.
Though, I'm slightly proud that I could sing along while doing those fancy extra notes stuff. What's it called?
Thank you for reading all my crap. Here you go, an awkward bathroom, no filter/edit photo of me.

PS: I have a full-on rant about my college's registry office. I can't wait to make a post on it.

I WENT TO SIOW TENGS HOUSE TODAY
Just to finish our Accounts homework due tomorrow. (:
And after 2 and half hours writing downwhat mey yen said over the phone the answers, we're finally done!
This is a pencil. But is it small?
THINK AGAIN.
Then I saw this CHINESE - ENGLISH dictionary in an ancient state. I LOVED IT!
Siow Teng's Ipod Video.
After that, we packed up and Siow Teng exclaimed "PIANO TIME!".
LaughOutLoud. Well, I played and she played. And then i played and she played. I could swear I play so awesome with her piano. Thats what you get on her piano sounds okay too. Bella's Lullaby was the awesomest. utterly awesome. UTTERLY LITERALLY.
Then As Siow Teng said that Her Cambodian maidSteal Bone Curi Tulang-ing.* And I now confirmed & believed that she was.
1. She was carrying scissors all around in the garden "to cut grass". kononnya.
2. She went andplay with the fishes "clean the pond water".
Ha.ha.ha.ha.ha.ha.
This question made everyone in school laughed today. (:
Ans: Spongebob Squarepants!

WELL OH WELL.
Mastered Paramore's old song called "Breathe". If anyone wants the chords, email me. Well, probably you wouldn't want the chords cause:
ONE: You don't know what song is this or who the hell is Paramore.
TWO: You don't play piano.
THREE: You've already figured that easy song out.
Seriously.
Its an easy song to duplicate. Even if you never composed by ears before, I guarantee you that, You can work this thing out. Like, i mean, how hard can it be right? Its only three chords..
And you can also email me for the piano version of that song cause I composed it from there. And it took me approximately 2-3 days to finally master the song. I've been practicing and practicing, and I'm guessing Michelle can't stand it anymore.
Seriously.
Well, I've tried to find Breathe sheet music but its either Guitar Tabs or you gotta buy 'em. Damn. If you can read Guitar Tabs then it shouldn't be a problem. Oh, I've also downloaded the "A Thousand Miles" sheet music performed by Vanessa Carlton. Its a nice song on piano. I know I know. Eventhough i can't read notes, Ill just count it at every line, okay? (omg. that'll take forever..)
Anyways, I made FIVE Nokia Themes for my phone.
ONE: Twilight
TWO: Paramore
THREE: Kris Allen
FOUR: Bella And Edward
FIVE: Hayley Williams
Want to download it? click here.
My Pick is the Bella and Edward and Hayley Williams. And twilight isn't twilight-ish. Its also mostly Edward and Bella's lovey dovey pictures. Laughs.
* Only suitable for Nokia: 2700 classic, 3120 classic, 3600 slide, 3610 fold, 5000, 5130 XpressMusic, 5220 XpressMusic, 5300, 5310 XpressMusic, 5330 XpressMusic, 5610 XpressMusic, 6126, 6131, 6131 NFC, 6133, 6208 classic, 6212 classic, 6233, 6234, 6263, 6267, 6270, 6275, 6275i, 6280, 6282, 6288, 6300, 6300i, 6303 classic, 6500 Classic, 6500 Slide, 6555, 6600 fold, 6600 slide, 6700 classic, 7100 Supernova, 7210 Supernova, 7310 Supernova, 7370, 7373, 7390, 7500 Prism, 7510 Supernova, 7610 Supernova, 7900 Prism, 8600 Luna, 8800 Carbon Arte, 8800 Gold Arte.
And that is the number of phones eligible to use that theme. Seriously.
Yesterday I finally went to check out Adam Lambert's gay photos and I saw one, and saved it in My Pictures. The next thing i know my mom wants to use the computer, and found out there was no Microsoft Excel (my dad deleted it, it wasnt me! Laughs), and so my dad wanted to install Microsoft 2008. My good ol' Computer had to be all outta space and my dad went to check on the files in my computer. And wala, he found two guys, kissing each other, tongues tied. After that, he said to me, "You better clean your computer, Its filled with nonsense!". But i knew he'd deleted some files and so i check the recycle bin and saw adam's picture. I nearly screamed about the fact that he saw it.
Seriously.
Oh Josh. (:
Went out for a walk in the night after dinner; with the Rascal boy.
SIGH. and so he wanted to kill this cat.
And i mean, seriously.
Btw, I wondered if Siow Teng went to school today?

i watched Twilight today again, on DVD! (grins)
And i just, JUST noticed that Stephanie Meyer was featured in it! haha.
She was eating something.. salad-ish. The waitress was like, "Here you go Stephanie".
And Stephanie nodded. Then, the old folks wanted to know whether Charlie had caught "the animal". Lol.
The kissing scene was nice. :D and in clear pixels i noticed that Robert Pattinson, DOES NOT KNOW HOW KISS at all. tsk tsk tsk.
AND OMG. The DVD is soo awesome. The menu itself is amazing! And i chose scene selections on the menu the whole listing was very nice-with music. And then i chose special features, it has James there. but no music. And then i chose languages, it has Edward Cullen-really big picture with it and has Bella's Lullaby music at the background. really nice!
And, those of you who had the DVD already, choose "scene selection" on the menu and hear that song. IT IS SO NICE! THAT song, is also played in the beginning of the movie. and, yeah, im playing it on piano. trying to figure it out.
4.
I recently just found out about Paramore's Piano Tribute and their Live in the UK CD. And i went and download it. Want it? message me @ Itstracyy@hotmail.com
And You're Welcome.
5.
Me and Michelle listened to Paramore's Piano tribute, Emergency. whoah . we got so jealous. We wanted to compose it through the piano tribute but, Emergency is too complicated. gah. i only scored the intro and the rest, only on right hand. Where did the left hand go? So, we composed Thats what you Get instead. IT IS SOO AWESOME. And i got a lil bit too far and composed Crushcrushcrush. But the best part of the whole song is the part where she sang, "They taped over your mouth scribbled out the truth with their lies...". I Love that part when i play it on piano. (giggggglesss)
6.
Michelle's friend borrowed Sims2 CDs To Us to install in our computer. (: That includes, Sims2 Nightlife, Apartment Life, Bon Voyage, Freetime, and also something called My Sims. the animation of My Sims is more to anime. You know the small cute ones? But it is, under Sims only in anime version. Plus, you get to build your own furniture. Thats oughta be nice!
7.

10.
Mom, Michelle and I "baked" a cake without baking it. RIGHT.
Its a no bake thingy. you can find it in stores. Its our first time doing this, it turned out pretty tasty, id bet. I ate it while doing my homework. satisfying; cause it doesnt make you rip your hair off when your doing additional mathematics! slash.. history chapter two.
11.
I know this is everyday life. But i just wanna upload it!
Love,
