Gotta get back to Hogwarts.....

Ok u guys,  just so you know I've had more then my share of mini pavlova desserts and I'm sort of regretting it right now since I had them at night (which is a big no no in diet land) and because I discovered I gained 1 kg in the past 3 days which lands me at 69 kg ( gawd that is ssssooo inappropriate on so many levels). I'm closing in at 70 kg you guys. I really hoped I didn't have to go there but apparently I'm about to which drives me crazy. On top of the one too many pavlovas,  I decided to have a tub of chips after that. I can only blame myself for this ( and my dad for bringing in those chips......dat hoe) so now I'm very upset although I already did my usual rounds of jogging. But it's not enough...... I would love to take a picture of that mini pavlova I ate because it was really cute but as you can see, I already ate them all -_- as in all, I meant (a lot) All... thank you for reading this rant.....

I go loco for glen coco

Thinking there was nothing left to piss me off, another tragedy happens with my laptop screen because it suddenly decided not to show any displays today. I swear, I feel like throwing that thing out the window cos this ain't the first time it happened. The worst part is. all my saved documents (my personal statements) are in there and I have a deadline next week!!! Son of a.............. I am really pissed right now but I mustn't....Today is maulidur rasul and I am certain this is a test from the Lord Almighty. But you know who should really take a chill pill... my brother, he too is being all pissy but apparently not for a good enough reason (He's losing in a video game). So, to redeem himself, he decides to lay all his anger on me. So as of now I'm waiting on my ordered pizza. my dad won't be  too happy about this but what the heck!

Because I'm strong as an O. A. K

 Hey reader!
 So as I promised in my previous blog, I would give you a full review on beautiful creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl (spoiler alert). Overall it was a decent book filled with Gothic southern settings and forbidden love. So basically the story is written through the perspective of a guy named Ethan Wate. He lives in this small southern town and like many of us is very eager to leave it. But it all changes when this weird mysterious new girl comes to his school. Unlike Bella from the twilight series nobody seems to like this girl because she apparently is the niece to the town's shut in Macon Ravenwood (sort of like the Boo Radley of that town). But Ethan being the bored yet inquisitive sort of guy kind of likes her not only because she's from out of town but also because she's been consecutively appearing in Ethan's nightmares ( I know, trippy right?). So the story begins with Ethan trying to court this chick (whose name is Lena Duchannes) and figuring out why she's all shy, awkward and moody. Eventually we find out Lena is actually a witch....oops!  I meant a caster and will probably be one of the most powerful casters in the world by her 16th birthday. The catch is she will either end up being claimed for the light (that means chosen to be a good caster that could save their entire caster race) or the dark (chosen to be an evil caster that could end up destroying us all). Its pretty sad because thanks to an ancestor that didn't think about the consequences to her actions, only the girls in Lena's family don't get to choose either they want to be good or bad. So it begins with Ethan and Lena trying to find loopholes to prevent her from going dark while at the same time trying to figure out how in some way they are related and drawn to each other.......
  I know it's slightly complicated but I still think it's decent. I really enjoy the setting for this novel since you don't really hear about a lot of fantasy stories set in the south. I also liked that the authors gave a lot of basic history and knowledge behind the whole caster world so it became easier for me to understand. This book is much more different compared to twilight (to those of you who are comparing) mainly because it's written in a dude's point of view and Lena isn't exactly the abnormally beautiful and broody type. She's just plain awkward and dresses funny like most of us. But I have to say Ethan is a little bit like Bella when it comes to the whole "I am so in love, what the hell I'm going to do when you're gone" thing. But hey, it is natural to feel those things when you're in love so I ain't gonna debate on that. People have been saying how they prefer the mortal instruments by Cassandra Clare more which increases my curiosity. Maybe that should be my next book series to read?
   Okay, so in other news my sister finally left for the states and she's all emotional and messed up over there. My mum said that she's been crying over everything from room disputes to missing supply lists. I don't know how her apartment buddy's doing but I bet probably much better than my sister........They both left last Sunday and all of us got all emotional when sending them to the airport. Compared to her buddy's family, ours is so much more emotional and sensitive to the point that it can get a little hysterical at times. I have a feeling my family is probably one of the most effusive families around. But the weird part was I didn't cry as much as I expected (being the cry baby that I am). I shed like one or two tears when hugging her and than I went back to being normal, my brother didn't even cry at all :/ I don't know what this means but I hope it's nothing serious and my sister will get herself together in time to start her classes.
  Other than that, I'm studying for my computer test (which I hope is this Saturday) and typing out my personal statement (who knew writing one is gonna be this hard?). I'm really pissed at this one teacher who hasn't updated me about my recommendation letter because his letter is probably very important in proving that I did some legit extracurricular activities at school!!! I really need to get everything done in time to send it out so I can at least be considered for that scholarship!!!! Oh god I'm so angry right now!!!! AAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!! *flips table*

Beautiful creatures

Yes as the title suggests, I am currently reading that book right now because I saw the trailer for the movie and it seemed interesting. So far so good and I'm actually making good progress with it. I bought the book in Thailand at this place called Asiabooks and over there, they offer to wrap your purchased book for free which was great! The price for the books are still sort of the same but I just couldn't help myself to purchase one. I seem to do that a lot.....
In other news, since I have nothing else to do at home I am begrudgingly  studying for my computer test (ujian undang-undang). I really hope that I only have to take this thing once because I am not gonna haul my ass to this secret unknown location of a driving school in the middle of puchong time and time again. One trip is enough. My other cousin already took his test and he got 47/50 and I am slightly jealous after hearing this. I know as his family member I should feel proud of him and all but having a cousin who happens to be the same age as you (and just happens to always do better in certain criterias such as exams and social interaction) you can't help but feel a little bit of envious at times. But whatever, it's natural. My parents and I are going college browsing tomorrow and I already laid out my plans (if you can call them that)....they agreed to look into IB diploma as one of my choices so that's good right?

Superman socks.....

Okay, quick one..... so last night I was back at school in my uniform and I was confused. I decided to go back to my old class but the thing was, the people in that class weren't my classmates so I decided to ask someone what year I was in and she told me it was 2011 and then I was like Nnnnnoooooo!!!!!!!! After that I told her I was in the wrong class but then she said "oh no it's ok, you can stay here if you want" but then I was like Nnnnnoooooo!!!!! I woke up from my bed after that and realised it was all just a bad dream.....as a token of my appreciation for reading this please accept this lovely picture of me. Bye!
