The big '1'

Finally it has come to the big '1'.
The day I've always been 'waiting' for has finally arrived and I am finally mentally and physically prepared to attend this freakin' long camp.

I wonder if i'm able to survive though ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

But now, I would like to wish an advanced Happy Birthday to anyone whose birthday falls in the month of April and May.

A big GOOD LUCK to all the WPQGC and hope all of you are able to be Queen Guides when I return!! (Is a must, all must pass!!)

And good luck to all my friends who will be going on for furthur education in any college, university, or school. Hopefully everything goes smoothly in your own personal way.

And finally, good luck to all PLKN participants!!!

I'll be gone by tomorrow and I'll BE BACK!!!!!!

Mark 12 June on your calender people cause THAT is D day where AW MAXINE is returning to KL!!!!!!

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!




Bye for now!!!!

Camwhore

These are actually my mid-childhood friends and I only got to camwhore with them when they are that big. Hmph.... The time we lost by fooling around. Maybe Dad wasn't confident in me handling the camera myself then. =P



I looked so sleepy.... Just had dinner.. duh~~



Kidmen (the younger one) fooling around like always



Cheese!



Us fooling around.... Gotta love the webcam.. No pimples.. hehe



Watchu thinking about? The webcam is here doh!!??



Darling angie~~ 13 This year. Can't imagine she's this big already..

How time passes..

^^

The big '2'

The countdown as finally reached the big '2' and finally coming to a '1'.

Hmmm talking about going to NS I'm actually quite excited and at the same time quite nervous about it.

I mean, excited in the sense that after years in girl guiding I feel that I'm one step ahead of most people when it comes to this kind of stuff... I learnt alot 4 years approaching 5th in guiding and if you compare me now and me 5 years ago, I would have to give a big thanks to guiding for this humongous change.

On the other hand, nervous in the sense that, all this while I've been going to camps which lasted 1 week the longest. And, this camp lasts 2 months. The first thought that came into my head was, "Can i survive this?". Not to mention the people I'm going to meet and the activities I'm going to perform.

Is my first experience going to such a long camp and I'm really looking forward to it. If you asked me a couple weeks earlier, I would hesitate to go and I would be all whiny. But now everything seemed to be clear and the pathway was 'safe' for me to walk on. So, i'm just gonna enjoy myself and be myself ^^

I just finished packing my bags and all my stuff for my next 2 months 'survival' and the outcome is GINORMOUS!!

My bag is HUGE!!!! 2 months what.... What to do? Takkan la ask your parents to ulang-alik to your camp every week?? Xiao ar??!!

Anyway, thanks for your good luck wishes.... Like Shereen always say :"

Aw Maxine won't die so easily!!" You bet I won't, I would be coming back, healthier and happier then before (Not to mention slimmer if possible =P)

Cherio people!!

Woah.....

It definitely has been a long time since my last post...

WHAT????? Was too depressed and lazy to update.

Anyway, I just came back from yet another Girl Guides camp in brickfields.
This time, I have to say I was so into the camp until i was sooooooo relucted to go home after the final days.


Maybe going home = NS approaching and I have to admit I was not prepared that time. Mentally I mean. Everytime that thought of going for NS came to me, I would shed tears and all the negative thoughts would come running in my mind.


Even when I keep telling myself that I have to be strong no matter what, and come on, stop being such a whiny!! This is JUST another normal camp, only is slightly longer than the usual 3 days 2 nights camp in HQ. AW MAXINE WON'T die that easily...

And yet, I still can't get over it.....


This morning, I went to the Defence department to get my NS letter, if I don't get it soon, there's gonna be loads of trouble registering myself there.. So to save the trouble, my dad drove us all the way to wangsa maju to get that one single piece of letter.... =.=... The work done to get A letter... *shakes head


When we arrived our destination, it was practically packed with people.. It was like sardine in there, plus the air-conditioning wasn't working very well so people were sweaty in there...Hmph!!


I gave in my IC number and the waiting starts... That half and hour was like the whole day... I mean how hard is it just to locate one freaking letter??? When the receptionist finally came out, she was holding a stack of letters with documents inside


Why can I see what's inside you ask?? Because, the envolope wasn't sealed in the first place, and some of the documents wasn't even in the envolope... I suspected they haven't even printed out the documents yet and when we requested it face-to-face, only they started printing it....


I mean if you haven't started printing yet, so that means you haven't started sending out letter to those letters..... Then how do you expect all the participants to receive it on time eh?? Tell me TELL ME!!!!

Anyway... I got loads to pack...
A long list....

Got the viral bug from camp.... Sick days before NS... yipee~~~~

Gotta go~~ tata!!!

No updates....

Hmmmmm now that I've exactly 2 weeks before my 'departure', I'm currently searching for a college which offers A levels with a reasonal price. Any recommendations??

Any how, life has been easy going after myself knowing to the 2 major threats of 'd' year.... As time passes by, I've became more and more courageous, relaxed and beginning to look forward instead of regretting anything that has been done. I thank my parents for being so understanding, and of course I'm thankful for being able to go through that moment without tears.

As from this moment, I wouldn't want to discuss anything related to SPM as this is already the pass in my life and I wouldn't want to bring it up that often and recieve comments which I wouldn't want to hear.

As for NS, I welcome positive comment about it but negative ones are discouraged. All I need is time and self recovery to overcome this 2 major threats. A week ago, I would feel disoreinted, depress, stressful, but now I'm feeling less nervous about NS and I even look forward into attending it. Who knows? I might even look better after I return.

Hahahahah.

So.... that's about it... I just came back from a genting trip last week, I'm seriously lazy to blog about it but you can view my facebook profile for the photos.

Cherio for now!

Updates.....

You Know, every since I got the updates on my NS, I've been more worried about it then my SPM results. I don't feel nervous at all, I still am able to fall asleep.... that's a symptom, plus all the GG activites I'm gonna miss out during my 3 months leave.. T.T

Is just sad, though... Not to say I won't enjoy the activities prepared there but I still prefer to stay in the comfort zone and enjoy myself in the HQ.

Next Thursday will be the first and last camp for me this year before I head to NS. I'll have to make full use of this camp and really let my hair go, before I have to torture myself into loosing weight and waking up during ungodly hours everyday..

I won't be able to use the computer and my phone that often anymore, which is fine actually... I would miss my facebook gossip and blogging that's all... Not to mention the clicknetwork.tv updates....

Plus the thought of me turning 18 in a 'cell' is seriously not a welcoming thought at all... I mean most people get intact with their NS friends but somehow, celebrating my bday with them (that's if they know when my birthday is), it won't feel the same as celebrating it with my closed ones.

The feeling is different and the surrounding is different. It might turn out good or vice versa. *imagine self singing happy birthday song holding a cupcake*
I hope you know what I mean. I'm not trying to be whiny or anything but, the feeling just doesn't feel right.

*wails....

I still need time to get over it....

16 days in counting....

CNY 2010 ~~~~~

Chinese New Year this year and last year had been a really quite one. Since all my grandparents are in a better place, we seldom go back to our hometown which is in Kota Bahru, or to be more exact, Temangan... Which is waaaaaay deep in Kelantan.

Frankly speaking, being the daughter of a Kelantanese and being a Hainan myself, not being able to communicate and dialogue in these two languages is not something to be proud of. Yes, I admit it, I don't and can't understand a single word of Bahasa Kelantan and Hainan. Well, I can make out some if it but to communicate in it, it would be like playing the piano for someone who doesn't really appreciate it.

That is why, I'm still a banana when it comes to these two languages. I haven't even mastered my mandarin yet!!! Ask anyone of my classmates, they would tell you "Maxine's chinese ar?? Very cha wan!!! Sometimes speak out of tune somemore.... very funny wan!!!"........ I can bet everyone of em' would tell you the exact same thing!

Alright, back to CNY. We went back to Penang, as both of cousins 'migrated' there to pursue their studies. After the half day work my working company offered all chinese staffs, dad picked me up from work and we zoomed to the highway and head to penang to avoid major traffic.

I slept all the way... so I had no idea what happened on the way there.. Except we stopped by Dunkin Donut for lunch and the Penang bridge was freakin' jam when we reached. (Alright, after the lunch break in Dunkin donut, I swear I would never buy/touch/bite/eat/taste/eat a donut from dunkin donut... Is just to traumatising)

When we finally reached Penang after an exausted 5 hour drive/journey, we were all starving and my tummy was crying.... So we headed to this famous local food court. Well not technically a food court but is combine with a few houses to form one so.....

It serves basically penang's famous food like Prawn mee, ice-kacang, oyster egg, fried tofu and yada yada yada.... We had a feast that night, came home burping like no one's business.. Had steamboat too later that night as our reunion dinner. I don't know whether there is a tradition with steamboat cause it seems most people have steamboat as their reunion dinner... Or is it because is less troublesome???

The next day was the First day of CNY. Had a scrumptious breakfast my aunt prepared (you gotta love her Mee siam, the best!!). After wishing the elders, we head to Queensbay mall for a walk.

Butter cookies have always been a tradition in my family. Its a must to have it on the dining table every first day of CNY.

ANGPAOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was actually Bro's idea to go, he wanted to shop for some 'accesories' =.='

Guys with accesories... Seriously, he has more hair/skin/body care products then me. You don't see me going round the house squirming for a blackhead sticker.....

Eventually...... the whole mall was freakin E-M-P-T-Y. "Wow, no one for the first time.... cool" That went through my head and I was quite happy cause there was no one to bump into. We were walking round and round like a luna until the 'master' voiced that he was hungry...

SEE!!!!! The whole path was practically empty ~ ~ ~

Even the shops were closed.. Come to think of it, who opens during CNY? No one!

Well, at least the deco were fab. Do ignore the couple =P

We ended up in Kenny rogers tasting their new product... and seriously.....

IT WAS HORRIBLE...

(tasted like laksa then pasta)

Tangy is not tangy at all!!

The japanese Yee Sang I was preparing with my cousin. Worth the price!

Camwhore at the mean time!!

The main side dish.... SALMON!!!!!

Dinner on the First day of CNY. Ya, we forgot to purchase Yee Sang for breakfast so we did it during dinner time. =P

Ok, I was bored...... No harm right?

Fireworks!!!! Don't ask who is that, just aware that I'm the one snapping the pics!! ^^

We spent 3 days in Penang, and we head back to KL on the second day.

Was hungry so I bought some steamed peanuts to munch!!

I also did some house visiting on my own back in KL. With some friends of course..

We had fun visiting and dancing.... Best time of my life!!

Wan Ting being all pinkish for CNY....

Ok, I suggested something goofy and we came up with this....

S-A-D.

Cheerio!!

Singaporean Girl Guides Gathering

OK..... seriously talking, I am really lazy to blog right now. It's been a few days actually, that I've been postponing by hypnotising myself "I'll blog tomorrow" then when tomorrow comes I'll be like " *grunts* I'm lazy, I'll blog tomorrow" and this went on till today where I finally forced myself into blogging...

Anyway, ya ya I know this event was eons ago and I'm only blogging it now. As you can see my symptoms, so please spare me for this once..

Yeah, from the title you basically know what is this about. We had a gathering for a group of Singaporean Girl Guides last year right after SPM if not mistaken. It was fun to make new friends and exchange emails like always. Of course we did some games and songs for them to sing.

Some of the guiders also did a welcome speech and explain the history of guiding on how it all started till today. Quite cool though, I didn't know part of it frankly speaking...... Now I do!! Yipee!!! =.='

Overall it was fun. Managing the PA system alongside with Wen Cai and Xin Mei was cool, the photoslide was hilarious cum embarassing, fooling around with the two MC, Shereen and Alyea was unpredictable and having fun with KL and Singaporean guides was just plain fun.

The pictures shows it all ~~~~~

Wen Cai and I ambush plan on Mei Wern was a big success!!

Myself and The two emcess fooling around...

The game of happy family went well, their favourites among all of em' went from this....

To this......................................................

To this...............................................................

And ended with this......................... (the agony they had to suffer)

Not forgetting the Makarena ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The finally, group photo!!!!!!
