2008.

I spent the night at some sunway hotel or another, watching, the miss tourism international metropolitan pageant.
My mom made all the batik clothes there.
I think New Zealand should have won.
Or at least got into the top ten.

Food was not as brilliant as one might like but it was edible.

We left early.


So,

We set off to hunt for fireworks till 12.20

We drove in one direction to see the fireworks only for it to diminish. Then, a U-turn and a couple hundred meters to see the next one ... and then the next one... and the next one..

The one near bangsar village was quite good.


So, the year began with firework chasing.



Hope its a good year.


Happy new year!

End of 2007.

So, The year ends.

I actually have about three quarters of a dozen posts i wanted to do but i rather don't feel like typing them out. As such, this will be 2007s last post.

This year, many things have changed dramatically, i cant even begin to phantom the differences from the start of this year to now. The first of the first of the two thousandth and seventh to the last day of the year-

Right. Im typing rubbish.

So, this year, I did a bunch of stuff which i enjoyed.
Among them are reading good books,
going to school ( sad isnt it),
Going to Bali where i surfed, rather painfully,
the pmr camp,
yjc and other clubs,
Switching schools,
Camp again,
PMR,
Mufti day,
Christmas hol in Thailand.

Well, there are a lot more ( im guessing) but i dont exactly recall them at this moment.

So, yeah, i have absolutely no idea what to type now.
New years resolution? Nah, never do,
Promise to be good all year? Not possible
Not use the com so much? Unthinkable

Anyway then, Happy New Year and a belated Merry Christmas.
So long 2007. You have been.. here.

Right, i have a little less then five hours till 2008.
I get sentimental every-time something ends, eg: leaving a hotel after a holiday, leaving the house for a camp and what not.
So, yeah.
Oh dear.
A bit over four hours till the new year.

Bugger.



So, im off to watch a beauty pageant with my family.
On new year , a beauty pageant, ? you might ask.
But then, my mom made all the contestants costumes.

I Do hope that they have fireworks.
I love fireworks.

Now then, off to put on my suit and bugger off.


Bye.

So long.

Take Care.

Tata.

toodles.

Bugger off.

See you.

Bye.

Holidays.

Righto, so the holidays came.
and have not gone.

Yet.

So, what have i been doing in the last 4 days?

Well, First off, everyday, i have been shooting something. Be it Battlefield, Generals, Tiberium Wars, Company of heroes, Medieval 2 total war or Dawn of war :Dark Crusade, it all comes down to blowing up everything from Americans to MECs to Chinese to Aliens to elephants with cannons to more aliens and even more aliens and more aliens. O and Nazis. And aliens.

Everyone loves shooting things.

So, aside from shooting, ive been watching a lot of tele lately. The Queen, About a Boy, Love Actually, Apollo 13, Wild Hogs and such. Strangely, none have guns in it. Well, i meant to say, no warfare.

Yes, yes.. i have also finished a book for the first time in a couple of weeks. Lovely. I started a new book 5 minutes later. Hoping to do at least a dozen books by start of term.

AND board games. I have won at settlers of catan but lost at risk.

All in all, i am very bored.
But hey, the carolers are coming tomorrow and there are more aliens to shoot.



Evan.

Very bored.

Friday

SO the next day, i came and collected my report.
Wasn't half bad.
All the grades were good - excellent though.... there were a lot of goods..... which isn't too good.
I got all As for psychics which was lovely.
And, surprisingly IT.
The subject i despise the most. I don't even pay attention in class, i cant. I have not a clue whats going on there..
Weird. . . It think he gave everyone all As. Well, it adds more As.

So, twas the end of school for term 1.
It was a super fun term.
Loads more fun than Cempaka. No offence.

I find it somewhat sad that when we return in january, the christmas trees wont be there anymore. There was one in the lobby, canteen, other canteen, office, other office, in fact, every office had a tree and deco.

Tralalala. Ah well, that was that.

So night was prom, i ended up going on my own as Pavel had to get shoes last minute.
The bliddy jam took me an hour and a half to get to the hotel.
It had not started yet. Lovely thing, lateness.

Anyway, so many suits...
mine was the coolest.
Well. not really .

So dash through, food was okay, there was pasta ( all that mattered) , The sherbets were bloody sour, the chaps on my table resorted to taking it in one gulp and spasming for the next minute. I did not. I am not a sheer moron ( so i tell myself).

skip skip, started to get tired and was sick of the stupid light always shining into my eye. Then i went home and slept.

P.S. Mr Wilson is really cool.

Flight Sim.

So Last Thursday, Sam and I went to a flight simulator pilot academy somewhere in Subang.
We left for the Aerospace place sometime around ten or so.

So, i had malay in the morn. I don't recall doing anything aside from doing nothing.
Once again, we were wearing hats and eating candy canes ( thanks to nicole.)

O, and , i think that was the first time i actually ate a candy cane. I mean, i have always known they were edible but.... i dunno, i thought its primary use was as a christmas tree decoration. Tasted like a sweet-like sweet. Sort of.

So, i don't remember doing much, before break, went around in circles, collected a certificate, and went around in circles again looking for the pickup zone which i apparently passed around half a dozen times.
And off, to the place. I sat next to Sam and discussed ways to extermina- , i mean battle other armies in computer games. Half an age later we arrived at this swanky looking place. It was next to a swanky looking school which was called " Smart School".


So we went in, and there were joysticks and a f-15 cockpit slap in the middle which i didn't get to have a go at. Sam got a go at this propeller computer simulated program. He didn't crash.

Next off , ( i rather sick of using "so") , we crossed the street to the swanky school. We had pasta, my favourite ( wow, i just found out the american computer spells favourite as favorite. . .Weirdos). It wasnt half bad, actually, it was quite good. I had two boxes, the chap sitting in front of me didn't want his.

Ah, yes, i forgot to mention this chap, he was the one teaching sam how to fly. He is Thriteen. Lovely no?
The smart fellow is taking his A- Levels already. ( i gasped. i didn't believe it.) I don't know or forgot his name so ill call him " Levels.

We even tested "Levels" with our chemistry which we could not do and he solved it. Oh dear. Lovely.

So fast forward a bit. ( how do you spell foward? foward or forward?)

- Kids below 12 should not be allowed. Two bugger below knee height were the loudest , most annoying bugger this side of the planet.
-We waited a helluva long time for our turn and after our turn.
- Those kids are annoying.
- Mr Christly is funny
- did i say those kids were annoying?


So, our first sim was a airbus 3 something something. I landed it and didn't crash. I rock, though, the pilot might have been helping and controlling a bit - unconfirmed - but ill go without that. I saw someone crash and the whole screen went blank.

THEN, we got into the sim with hydraulics on. We had to cross this bridge to this huge box which cost 15 million USD.
That was lovely, when we took off, i felt as though i was really inside a plane taking off, and then to the side, downwards, upwards. wow. so real.

" Levels" got annoying in the cockpit.

Sam landed it rather..." smoothly" .. but he didn't crash.

Then we went into the waiting room where Darth Yoda 1 and 2 began to fight. I share my candy cane which came along with a lovely christmas card i received from nick in the morn with sam and some other kid. I think it was "Levels."

Tralalala a bit. The others had a go at the sim as well but thats unimportant.

Mr Christly is superbly funny.
One of the jokes.
Its a chemistry joke.

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa..

Geddit geddit?

Anyway, the trip back took ages and all and i didnt get my report till the following day.
yeah...

Grease.

So,
I seemed to have missed a whole week of activities which i am going to compress into a few short post.

Starting with Last Tuesday.
That day, after a horrifyingly long day, i went off to watch Grease, the school play.
Jon came to pick me up around a quarter to seven and we buggered off to watch the play in school which is a drastically nice change from having to leave the house absurdly early to Cheras for Cempakas production.

So, i didn't know of anyone else aside from me , jon, nazmi and jane who were watching the play on tuesday but it ended up with Lance, Desy, Nirvan Sam and Sam, Yoren and others. The show was quite good. Fraiser, Sam's Brother was quite good. All in all a 6.5 out of ten with ten being top notch in west end. The Mike Problem brought it down .

It was not as good as the cempaka productions but it took a good deal lest time, less money and the practice was always after school in contrast to cempakas two straight months everyday practice and elaborate stages.

It was a fun night. Songs were good and Sam's other brother, Hugh is so cute.


next post, flight simulation.

Malay Class.

Today during malay, we got back our testpapers.
And.
I wasnt paying attention while we were marking them.
mostly.
Last night, i was looking at how to write cursive and i ended up playing with writing which evolved....

Well, anyway, it started by us having to hand p our books, and nicole had "vandalised my centre spread" so i tore it out.



here it is.

So, i got bored and started writing my name , then everyone elses. ( by this i mean the ppl sitting in our table)
Then i drew.



this is what yan had to say.

Evan's page.
First he was practicing cursive handwriting.
Then he drew our...hobbies/talents? Evan - taking over the world, Irving - basketball, Nirvan - football, me - swimming, Nicole - umm...standing with a lollipop. Then he drew hats/headgear. E - halo, I - top hat, N - jester's hat, me - crown, Nicole - hair. Then it was transport. He got a jet, Irving got a car, Neerwon got a BICYCLE (Evan can't spell), I got skates/skate+skate, Nicole got a...I don't know what she got.
This is how bored we get in Malay class.

Yeah.....

Then irving drew on a page.



He only did the Big EVAN in the middle. i did the rest.


Then The last page was blank but i dubbed it Nirvan/Yan Page.
And sent her off to scan it.
But... she drew on it with Rachel.






Yeah. Thats my malay class.





AND... i went to watch grease, launch and build a water rocket and had macdonalds today. I put that in the next post.

under the rainbow , under the SEA.

Anyway, this morn, i went off to BSC to have breakfast and look at the christmas decorations for the how manieth time. AND i went into the toy shop for the first time in who knows how long.

I bought a boat.
A frigate.
With a movable turret and rockets.
And it floats.
on water.
With a propeller. ( batteries not included.)

It was so cool.
I named it IMPERATOR.
So the first thing i did when i got home was launch it off into the pool. 2 seconds later i asked my bro to launch it back from the other side. The smart fellow threw it. It landed up side down but still floating.
Of course we wernt in our swimming gear and it was in the middle of the pool and we didnt know how to retrieve it but it was still floating so that was good.

Then, suddenly it tilted upright and sunk. ( like titanic) .
I watched i horror as 5 seconds ago i just took it out from the box.
So i got changed and brought down the aircraft carrier which we didnt know was sea worthy or not.
IT was.

So i went of and played with the ships. I love ships. I want more toys.

So , later i went to Relish for Lunch.
The burgers there are really good, it reminds me of GBK from london.


I saw a RM6 000 000 without duty car. A maclaren. WOW.
That was cool.
But i prefer an aston martin.

Anyway, blahdibalh, went off to play tennis with Jon only to remind myself how much i suck at it.
THEN - well lets fast foward to dinner.

MY brother aimed the aircraft carrier at the Imperator and pushed it hard.
The carrier smacked dead center the Imperator sending it spinning before capsizing and sinking again.
Now it lies beneath the water waiting to be collected tomrow.


AH... from green men to boats.

Next off, Paratroopers,
Then, Paratroopers landing on boats.
Then remote controlled helicopters leaving the boats and flying up to drop green men ( paratroopers ) on boats.



Lovely.

Life and stuff

I've realized, that I cannot simply keep living so.. well... simply.
I must give up my days of carefree fun and joy.
Many people think that I am just a fun guy to be around; that I do not ponder the ways and the inner workings of the universe, and my purpose and function in this strange state called 'life'.
I do not blame them, for my actions and words have done nothing to prove otherwise.
This image of me, someone who does not care about what others say or think of me and only ever has a singular transparent motive, is great and makes people more comfortable, but sadly, it is false.
I think about stuff.
I'm not as shallow as I seem.
I merely do not wish to share or express my thoughts as openly as some others.
I like pasta, that statement is true.
That string of words however, does not necessarily confine the borders of my thought to italian cuisine.
I think, I feel, I am.

Never assume otherwise.


















BWAHAHA YOU GOT PUNK'D


by~ the jon

Green men.

Today, i found a bunch of toy soldiers i played when i was super young ( around 10 years ago. { wow... im more than 10 years old.. how odd. does not feel that way})

Was so tempting and in the end i succumbed.

Right, so i devised a brilliant story. ( or unbrilliant as some might say)


The High Terra Aircraft carrier of the Aurus Naval Defence was sucked into a whirpool into the depths of the planet as the part of the sea it was in was drained into a big hole.
Then, it was discovered there were ORKs below the crust and they detonated a bom to escape and rule the world. So the survivors of the High Terra decided to hold of the orks as they were in a defensive position.
AND they requested reinforcements. So, as the other battleship Imperator was nearby, it sent reinforcements.
( as you may have noticed, im making this up as i go along.)
So a company of the great Aurus Marines descended into the bowels of the planet and started a defence as the planet gathered armies to halt the orks.
Over 24 hours, all the energy and solar powered weapons and armour were made useless in the lightless area. The imperator went around collecting un modern weapons and sending it down. So , the marines ended up with WW2 gear and drones which worked, along with bombers flown in from the surface and a Mega Heat Ray Cannon set up down there.

Yeah....

It illogical but WTH .



The Defence!



The "CIRCLES WITH EXPLANATIONS!"



" EVEN MORE CIRCLES WITH EXPLANATIONS!"


Who knew i could be so lame.

Cough.

Well, today was the christmas bazaar. Which was quite nice.
chrismasy and loads of food.

Otherwise, it was a pretty normal day though i felt blur the whole day and it seemed strange.
this whole week seemed to have been weird.
Or maybe its just today and i think the whole week was weird or maybe im just sleepy.

Anyway, yesterday, my mum came over to school to have a meeting with teachers . ( for new students)
Well, i got good reports. Mostly.
well, actually all were good. yeah.

Tralalalalalalaa.

i don't really like today.

Swimming Gala.

Today was Swimming gala.
Wasnt as large a scale as cempaka's but this way, i actually watched the swimming.
Thats a first.
Anyway, i lost in the freestyle. which...
i expected.

And, i got a A* for Maths!
Yay!
Yippy!


AND,

There are christmas Trees in the front entrance and canteens!
which i could have decorated better.

O well, Add math and Malay test tomorrow.

Christmas!

Christmas !
Just around the corner~!

Well, Today i put up the Tree, My maid and I, double handedly while my Dad and Brother watched Independence day. Anyway, i say, it isnt too bad considering i did it.

Ill be ultimately horrifyingly morbid when Christmas is over, thus waiting another year for it.

The Tree is up!
Tralalalalalalalalala.

Hurry up and load ~
