Natassia.
Now, a short update on the life and times of Wan. I'm down with the flu, so everyone, stay away from me. 99.8% positive that it is not the H1N1 viral strain, although I wouldn't want to be overconfident. Have been avoiding school for about 3 days. Throat's been giving me hell. Amen to you, Ronnie.
19/5.
Today was a very special day for Nyai. It's her 69th birthday, the very 69th one. Instead of going out to dinner (as always, initiated by the more affluent amongst the league of extraordinary aunt's and uncles), my families had a simple, home-cooked dinner at her home. The poor birthday lady (who looked subtle and soft in pink) was ill and coughing throughout the whole day; the whole family was, actually. But, although her spirits were dampened by the flood of attacking viruses inside her body, she still remained as strong and just as ever.
For she is, the lady in Gray.
But mistake not, the presence of bittersweet melancholy in her eyes. After having just lost a sister, I can imagine how lonely it must've felt. But, fret not, because although the rains have been harsh, and there hasn't always been shelter, the beat of her warm heart remains to this day, loud and strong. For, for someone who has overcome the harsh storms of adversity, and has ridden out the bitter fall-outs of life, she truly is, and has always been, one unbeatably tough nut.
That's all I can say. Z' dnyem rozhdeniem, Nyai. (I'm not very good at romanizing Cyrillic, but hope that spells out as: Happy Birthday, Nyai. *winks*)

Birthday & birthday.
The twankskats Rafael and Mikhail turn the big 20 today (well technically yesterday). God, it's been a long while since we've all conferenced together, and yesterday was such a needed reunion. The wankers.
In addition, after what felt like 1 googol billion millennia, we finally managed to celebrate Ah Tan's birthday yesterday. Haha, it was real funny and awkward in the beginning but in the end we were all laughing.
I've got a lot of things to do tomorrow. Drama first thing at noon, then it's off to Dad's. Can't wait for that three-course meal, Sam!

The great indoors.
Life has been absolutely peachy.
I have been doing quite a lot of productive things at home this past week. Like cleaning up my actual room (I'm back at mom's) for instance. After weeks of inoccupancy, my bed has been a foster home for all sorts of dust bunnies and kitties. Talking about foster homes, I really need to do something for Aunt's Sophia and Rita; both of whom had kindly offered me a space in their homes for when I was at school the past 2 terms. How nice, I know. Maybe I should tutor their children for free or something. And from the looks of it, Shasha does need help in her science. Anyway.
Another reason why I'm happy is that now that there's no mom around to feel guilty about messing up the kitchen anymore, I can cook with ease. Hallelujah. It's great that mom's left me with extra money to get food for myself; although the nearest supermarket's quite far away (Cold Storage down at Stadium Walk) I do make it a point to stock up on supplies at least once a week (I can't wait for the completion of the Stadium and Mountbatten MRT stations, just hurry up construction will ya'). As everyone knows, me cook, me happy.
I have also been quite of a couch and computer seat hog these past couple of days (scoffs out loud). Now, I can't wait for the new episodes of Skins to be out (praise that guy who uploads all of their episodes on YouTube). It's also quite a bit of a long shot, but I do want to get started on re-downloading all of the movies and shows I've lost when my Vaio suddenly died. It'll take years, but I can't live with the fact that I do not have Trainspotting, Goodbye Charlie Bright, Kill Bill's Vol. 1 & 2, and all of the Foster's episodes on my laptop anymore. Curse that one brief moment of impatience, argh.
I also need to get out more often. Sighs. The last time I had so much fun outdoors was with Putri and Sam last Saturday (losers), and yeah, that ridiculous outing with Ama and Hanisah on Monday. Maxxie boy, I effing need to see your face.
Haha, and before I forget, today, Lirong turns eighteen. If you're reading, I wish you all the best for the future and may you have a cliched birthday card greeting of a fulfilling life ahead of you. Cheers friend.
p.s. Rafa and Mika's birthdays are coming up. I haven't gotten them any prezzies yet, but I'll do give them something when they come by here in September. Well, that's till then, then..

3 days.
I am as tired as heck. I guess we all are, right? Before I start my rant, I just wanna applaud all my poly friends (as well as the others who are pursuing their 'A's) for working so, so hard. Life is heck. But dealing with problems, sadly, is part and parcle of life. Yes, I know, I suck up to people a lot.
Okay, well, the start of this week came in a hushed whisper. More like in a demonic laugh I guess (those who know, just laugh). After 1 day of rest, it was back to the same ole usual schedule.
Monday was so-so. Made boxes in Chevady's then had actual fun during Mr. Ng's drawing class, playing with watercolour effects. Halloween Night rehearsals are on every single (weekday) evening, till the big night. I have not fully felt my character, yet, no matter how much I look like one.
On Tuesday, I came in 7 minutes late for Joon Kiat's drawing class. Well, personally, I feel his disciplinary methods for us are a tad bit off. Moshi moshi, were in poly, and we have rock hard egos (well most of us). I feel it unwise to have that kind of attitude (in relation to 'discipline') around students. Yes it makes you seem high and mighty respectable but if students hate you, then of course, that would do more harm than good. Halloween Night rehearsals are getting violent. David, hang in there. And of course, happy birthday to Eunice! (drama) You rock!!
Tuesday night, frantic. Studio Project. Colour studies - another last minute assignment.
Today started off with hectic-ness and ended off in unity (drumrolls). Our SP (studio project) presentation, no matter how messy and last minute it was, turned out barely well. Good job, people. I love you. After a brief rest period (colour studies) it was back to heck, with Photography class, the submission of the SP cd, and drama. And I managed to squeeze everything within a few hours. Klappa klappa for me. One thing I would like to add, I do pity you, Mr. Ayob, really, for being so misinformed. Agreed, first impressions leave quite a huge mark, but obviously, what you see in my character is doubtfully, untrue. So please, bug me, not ever again, I hope. Affirmation: I can suck up to people, yes, but only up to a certain extent--.
Wow, rehearsals are indeed tiring. I do miss going back early (as in, while the sun is still out), but I guess its something I just have to live with from now on. I have been desperately trying to find the right time to research on my characterization and movement. Thanks to those whove helped me out, a lot. And thanks for the vampire teeth, David, i'll keep them wet for you good. Hahaha.
Before I go become freaky once more, I just want to acknowledge the fact that just now's (well, yesternight's, technically) daily bus wait was ullllltraaaaa draggy. Had to wait for 4o+ minutes for kandarolli's sake. Though another thing to note, Vicki and I had a lot of fun disturbing some month in the bus. Hahahaha, *evil laugh*.
Later, I am going to give myself a treat and sleep early. I hope tomorrow the stress wears off a bit. Adios, alibaba.
p.s. thanks for keeping my file, July!

Today, Amalina turns eighteen. Lyna, here's to the three years (and more) of friendship, jokes, drama, and minah-fights to come! Happy birthday!
It also is the last day of Ramadan! To all of those who've fasted their butts off during the past 30 days, I clap for you. And for those who didn't, don't you dare take my special wish to heart (peace!).

Today, Eunice turns eighteen. Happy birthday Miss Pluto Universe! You shall receive whatever you wish for today when the clock strikes 12. Thats because I have the magical powers to grant you such a wish. Happy birthday!
On another note, I am terribly sorry to have not been able to attend drama meeting today. I feel so guilty for all the little ones at MINDS (somehow) as well as my other drama mates.
Thing was, after today's session, I had to look after Shasha and little Daniel (alone at their home) while the maid brought Nyai to the dentist. My uncle's bringing us food for dinner later. So I do apologize again.
