I love this picture!!


Broken glass heaven. I love this picture too.. !

Spent one of our last lunches at Peppercorn.


After lunch, Darvin and Garrick(the two tiny figures in the picture who didn't wait for me) showed me a shortcut back to college. It was not that much of a shortcut, but it was quite a pretty one! I love clean back alleys.


The back of the My Place hostel/apartment.


For keepsake.

Barry and Me. Hehe, I snapped before he was ready.


Ok lah, bagi chance.


Must be the exam stress.


Apparently two thirds of the class are bonafide camwhores. And the remaining third are hard core studying/lazy to come for the last ever class of their A-Level's course.

Good luck to all A-Levels' mates who are sitting for A2 on Monday!!

Last Week Of College Pt. I

I'll be dividing my entire folder of photos that I took in the last week into TWO entries. Heheh. Yeah, that's a sign for you to go make yourself a nice cold glass of Ribena and then maybe cook a maggi mee and come back to see if the pics are done loading. But shouldn't be that bad a problem lar since Shutterfly.com helps me resize 'em.

Um, by the way, I'm SUCH a hypocrite. I'm going for the prom. And YOU KNOW WHAT? APPARENTLY OUR TABLE IS THE ONLY TABLE THAT HAS CONFIRMED FOR PROM. AND I'VE PAID. *#^$#($^%$%$&%$(*%$&%$(%$&%$&%$..


Remember the old hag in my bedroom? Well, she died. So I have to make do with the family hall. Dad(yellow chair) and I(blue chair) will be back to back when he does his surfing on the old computer and me studying.


My blood sugar level had to be kept at a constant (high)level to enable me to sit through the studying sessions. Groan. I officially hate M&Ms.


Our last lab experiment. That's me pouring potassium dichromate(VI) into the burette.


An 'artistic' shot of our lab apparatus.

Shi Wen and Me


Man and wife. Haw, haw. But it does look like it eh? Kekeke.


Deborah and Me


Me and Michael


My dear Prema and Me


The "chau kong" staircase in Taylor's College. I'm serious, I've seen a lycra dark blue underwear, lacy pink ones, the conventional white one, a black sexy one and the world has probably seen my Winnie The Pooh panties.(My dad's colleague thought his daughter was still in Primary school, but I politely accepted the present as I was running out of undies..) I am just extremely grateful the girls who wear G-strings in college do not wear skirts and walk near the railings.


The contents of my bag. Not seen in picture are house keys, pink panadol and handphone.


Garrick and Han Chung under the sunlight. Nice.


Me and Siau Ying


The folks at PM9 walking out for lunch.


Walking down for lunch, we bumped into Kwo Kuang. :D


Gan, the ever faithful McD's patron. She was tapau-ing McD's to join us at Burger King.


Kay Hong and Me. After "ending" his stint at Buy Sell Trade, he is now with Aus Ed.


The nice willowy trees in the Sri KL Primary school. Taken from the 3rd floor of Taylor's College.


My beloved Chicken porridge!! They ran out of yau char kwai so I had to go down to the other coffeeshop(Mee Yoke) to buy sweet yau char kwai. Eew, but it did it for me.


I'm gonna miss my chicken porridge.. *Air liur meleleh* But thank god I stay in Subang.


I have spread the art of camwhoring to the best of them.


This is Jocelyn's hair/spikes.


This is Darwin's hair...


This is Garrick's hair...


....and this is Han Chung's hair. Don't they look like microscopic images?


Li Shen and Me.


Prema, Li Shen and Siau Ying


Me and Rudi

The Big Prom Issue

So much for going on a hiatus huh? Hahaha. I ought to be shot.

This will be a post.. a few and far in between one. Study to blogging ratio should be damn big okay. No more long ass photoblogs. Pointless for now. Bah. Waste time. Bah.

Seems like almost everybody I ask say that they are not going for prom. The ticket is a little too over the top for a place as mundane as Holiday Villa. Yes, holiday villa. Weddings there are fine, because the splendour belongs to only two people. But prom is meant for EVERYONE and all of us want to feel special on prom night. Sad to say, but Holiday Villa cannot provide the same amount of elegance as somewhere like say, Mandarin Oriental can.

Why do you think we scour the boutiques in town for the prettiest dresses? Fork out more than half our allowances to get professional make up and hair? Hours spent trying on the perfect pair of stilettos? Stressing over the price of accessories?

Because it's one of the only nights we are allowed to dress to the nines. Not everyone have big weddings to go to every other day, not everybody can go to posh clubs to be seen. Prom is one of the only chances to be able to see your friends in things you'll probably never see them in again, unless you end up in the same institution in the next education level.

It's a night for the seniors to remember. It's a night where we take the hands that we were shy to hold to the dance floor and slow dance the night away, akin to the fairy tales Hollywood portray. We all imagine tinsel floating from the ceiling and discoballs in the ballroom where the prom will be held. Kids, we've been watching too much of tv.

I remember clearly prom planning always belonged to the upper hand of the social ladder. Sad to say but my secondary school was very racially divided. Unless you're a school athlete, you don't have many friends of other races. I mean the "sama geng" ones. A bunch of Malay girls(they were the more radical ones) started handing out flyers that had a survey on it. I remember sniggering at the themes. We had Hollywood, Funky.. I can't remember, something like Teenangel or something. The price was crazy. Rm111 for VVIP. What the hell is VVIP? And then Rm88 for normal seats... Okay. I didn't think much of it because of the price. But I knew that I'd end up going somehow.

However, I remember another bunch of chinese girls approached my bunch and asked us to organize prom instead. I do not mean to brag or anything, but we were the ones dominating the Interact and Leo clubs therefore we knew how to handle functions ..well a wee bit better than most of our peers. We were contemplating whether we should or not. But we decided against it as focusing on our SPM was far more important.

Like I said, racism is quite apparent in my old school. Though it's not openly talked about but it's there, lurking among the students who divide into cliques during recess times. So there you have it,a bunch of Malay girls organize prom and there were only three tables full of chinese students at the prom. Oh, and we had it at the Sheraton ballroom.

Racism or not, I wonder why nearly 70% of the faces I saw at prom were unrecognisable. Is it because of the make up? But I realized most of them were friends from outside and the entire place was not fully dominated by SMK Subang Utama students. My group of girls, we were pretty neutral. We never got bitch comments from others because we just never got involved in those my boyfriend-your boyfriend dramas or portray mean girl characteristics. I don't know how many of us, but at least I tried to be nice to all who were nice to me. So I daresay, yeah, we'd have tried to involve more of our fellow students and convince our friends to come for the prom. The organizers did try to form a committee which comprises a member of each, *sigh*, sad to say, clique. I think they managed it, Amanda represented us. But the girl didn't do much accept put her phone number down to be one of the contacts.

Yes, perhaps if they really got a person from each clique to be on the committee it would have been the ideal prom crowd puller. But then again, we were in different cliques in the beginning because we didn't click so much. Our seniors' proms were organized by specific cliques. And we'd laugh at the prom king and prom queen results. They were all of the same gang, and they were all on the organizing committee. Hmm..boggles the mind, doesn't it?

I ended up going for the prom anyway. It was great seeing everyone dressed up. One of the most essential bit about prom is the phototaking session. Nothing beats the photos of your very own prom.

However, it's a pity that the performances lined up the night were of those screaming rock songs type. Kutu rock? Erm, the generation after that. Almost every school function you'll get one of those wannabe Metallica bands belting out something incoherent and so fucking annoying you feel like stuffing the (saliva coated)microphone up their clenched anus.(Why clenched? You scream like that sure must clench your backside ma. Then only got oomph!)

So yeah, there we were sitting prettily in our gowns and handsomely in our coats, we bite daintily into the elegant(or rather so so) dishes served as a boy would yell and scream 'da house dowwnnn...'. Proms are romantic, let there be slow music. Please. Only slow music. You want noise? Head out to Zouk/Atmos/Rush for some some serious head thumping after prom. I like the old fashion American prom.

I had my dance with Chee Kiang. It was not really dancing, just normal hugging and slowly moving to the rhythm. I remember clearly that all around us were couples kissing openly(remember? I told you they are the more radical ones in our school) and I got nervous because EVERYBODY was doing it. Since then we already had some sort of history, I looked up at him and I felt the situation getting too awkward and I immediately looked at the floor,bent down and enquired, "hmmm! Are those confetti or rose petals?" to which he just pulled me up and we continued dancing. That's exactly what he did back in form4 when we were in Genting when a bunch of us were holding hands because it was too cold and suddenly it was just me and him left in the clutch and I felt the awkward situation arise again and saw an object in the middle of the road and ran to it and said, "Hmmm! It's that a slipper?". I was pathetic, I know.

Sorry for digressing, but that's my memory of prom. :) So as I was saying, save for the slow dances, the prom felt more like a rock concert because soon you have those really "rawkin'" performances and you see the dance floor dominated by people in T-SHIRT and Knee-length Cargo pants!! Argh!! The horror. It totally spoiled prom. There I was the whole night, positioning my chiffon shawl around my arms and these buffoons barge in without an ounce of respect for the importance of this event.

As for the A Levels prom, I was prepared to pay whatever amount they ask, but why can't we have it somewhere more elegant? I've smsed the juniors who organized the prom and apparently all final decisions are made by the admin. Another thing is that I discovered that the ticket price for a prom at JW Marriot is about Rm20 less than for Holiday Villa. I understand that only 500 seats are available and their policy on no-outsiders is fairly acceptable. But it's stupid lah, what about the other few residual hundreds of students? As far as I can remember, there are more than 500 students in the January and July intake combined.

Guess I'll be following the crowd and will not be going for prom. Speaking of which, there is a guy in the course who has started a petition to have a clubbing night out at Zouk instead of prom. Well, I'll salute him if he can rent the entire place for us, and if he can fit half of Taylor's College inside Zouk. It totally defeats the point if other patrons are allowed to throng Zouk at the same time. Oh, heard he has gotten over a hundred signatures already. Sigh, some people just love to club too much. But like I said, it'll only be nice if the entire place are filled with A-levels folks and not the public.

Did I mentiom prom is on the DAY the exams end? Usually we need at least one month to prepare for the night. Oh well, too bad some of our collegemates live on the other side of the country. Sigh.

Hi, my name is Jolene and if there is a question in your head, this answer will definitely answer it: I was wrong and irrational. I was being a woman.

Jolene Lai, Jolene Lai,
Came to life in January and not July,
She is 19 years of age,
Can't wait to earn her own wage,
This dental student is home sick,
Will never be in Kedah for more than three weeks.

Subang Jaya is where she's from,
The only place she'll ever call home.
Has a boyfriend, a brother and a dog,
The things she says can give you a shock.

Especially for her father, who always gets a heart attack when he reads this blog.

Hey, rhymes!
