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.
