Funny Quote!

"I don't feel old. I don't feel anything till noon. That's when it's time for my nap." --- Bob Hope
haha, just thought it was funny. so wrote it down.

today's the last class of this module and next week's my exam. haiih. well, i was squeaking with excitement when i got the timetable for the next module! haha. coz...coz....i won't have classes on Sundays for the following 2 months!! How wonderfuL!! Friday nights are off too! Saturdays 9 to 6 as usual lo. Kesian some of my frens lo, haha. can't imagine 9 to 5pm every Sunday studying LAN M'sian studies. had to laugh. coz while they're yawning in class, i might be wandering around having fun! or at least snuggling in bed. haha.

do you often have moments when u saw something and you thought of someone? well, i ALWAYS. it's good and bad. like today, i saw a niu niu then i suddenly remembered of yaya. called to ask Ben the exact date & it's today. still in time to wish her happy bday :) but most of the time those 'whatever' things make you miss that person so much although all the happy memories again appears like it's just YESTERDAY.

my kissing monkeys

These are my kissing monkeys at home. supposedly to give out one but thought they were too cute to be separated. and i found a really good place for them. my cupboard. would have attached the video if i knew how to. everyone who saw the live show would laugh and love it. haha. muakss~~

i just seem to start thinking of home again. anything that resembles home. okies, nitey. goodnite kiss ^*^

Fridays vs Mondays

Well, most people would love Fridays and not Mondays. they call it Monday blues. as for me, both days are not as great. Mondays i gotta wake up too early to wait. Fridays are tiring, especially when there're night classes, and when i have to look for ppl to send me home. won't dare to take the late bus anymore ^_^ one time scary experience is enough. i just hate to be alone.

Nadia took MC on Friday, and David scared my life off. how could he? bringing his emotions to the class, sighing all day long. and even asked me to do such a thing! unbelievable. 22 in a class, shout until i wanna die. help la, sit there got what use wor. how can my dear voice ever recover wor? sometimes i think i'm really too low-paid la, just because the college introduced me as a student, i had to work more but get less pay compared to them? so unfair. the older ppl are all good to me, just that sometimes i dunno whether i should trust them. sometimes i think i'm too soft-hearted, putting myself in a dilemma. since i made my decision to leave after May, i better. cannot xin ruan all the time. joo said, "learn to be good to yourself." ying said, "learn to stand for yourself. i can't be your 24h angel." i always remembered these.

That Friday nite was the boring class, and again Saturday whole day. i couldn't stand and was kinda sleeping. really can't open my eyes. Her lectures...hard to understand, boring & telling jokes that are not funny at all. we purposely chose a table for only 4 during lunch. she sat with us 2times already, and even lunch wasn't fun. so we decided to be bad today, she really did came by, (eh, today no extra place ah?), we juz smiled, haha. sorrylah, bopien. have to see her whole day, at least give us 1hr without her ma. aduhh. go join the old group la, why join us young gang wor?

I always take the bus & has made it a habit to add the numbers everytime i took the ticket. there was one day when i had 21 for all the 3times i took the bus on the same day! it was said that it'd be your lucky day. i had 21 again this morning. i don't know if it really makes your day lucky, and is even more not sure if the luck can be transferred to your loved ones. haha. but one thing i'm sure, it makes me happy. i'm always happy when i got 21.

better sleep. tomoro got drama class. kakaka.

The day after valentine's...

I woke early but was lazing in bed, until i cannot resist the smell of laksa. i decided to drive, so i don't have to think so much. after 2 weeks of enjoyment & relaxation at home, it's like the most dreadful thing going back to work! berat hati, but i always acted cool during departures, only silly yindeh made me cry like stupid before when she left. xxxx ah. well i had yummy laksa for breakfast, and kueh chap lunch with daddy. the food wasn't great, but it's the feeling eating with only daddy, daddy-daughter chats i just enjoy so much! I thought I'd cry this time, but nope! daddy gave me a hug and soon i was waving to him 10m apart. berat hati lah.

now i'm alone. gate A8. long way. i went to the toilet & dropped my NOKIA, internally not injured but had cuts on the side of its face. my BODY GLOVE trousers' button came off too. what bad luck. then i went the wrong way, coz the arrow was pointing forward but you actually should walk down the stairs. ishhh. when i reached gate A8, two little twin sisters (i supposed 2yr+) suddenly came up to me smiling then use their botles as guns to shoot me. pong pong pong! then they laugh. then their parents laugh. then i laugh. weird la. after that it's boring waiting until it's time to board.

this was how. hot sun. first time see the plane so near, so just took a picture. haha. well, it was a boring flight. i was sleeping most of the time, but towards the end my ear and neck felt uncomfortable so i started noticing ppl around me. i didn't manage to get a seat by the window. the lady beside me was sleeping, but the guy was opening his legs so big, hands already at my place, had to close my legs so tight so he cannot accidentally touch my thigh. (not that i think too much, but he did and i am a thigh-itchy-freak! i nearly wanted to scream at him.) the flight reached 10mins earlier. but waited for the luggage quite long too. jane's husband came late, so i read Rong's letter. (he said i could only read it when i reach KL, so i kept my promise) here it is:

hahaha, i laughed so hard when i read it. he's always so cute when you're not with him. if not, monsta is the only word to describe this little brother!

Finally i was fetched up after almost an hour. it was raining really heavily. dunno it's the ahpek eyes or what, (though the wipers are ot really good la) he drove so dangerously my heart was thumping. i had to open my eyes so big to see the roads for me, uncle here uncle there. got car ah. aiyer. it was quite weird alone with him in the car too. it seems normal during quiet moments with family members & dearer friends, but with him...awkward la. nearly met with an accident too, coz he was driving on the opposite lane and din hear me. the van was right in front of us! scared my life off @@

well, at least i got the chance to get to subang first b4 going to jane's house. but guess what, i haven't had time to even rest awhile, Yen was ready and we went down to Asia cafe straight away. she wanted us to escape the fussy owner. chatted and had dinner. but the owner was still here, so we had to go to the comic shop to waste time. so tired la, but still had to read. 2 comics i read. then finally can come back. dunno how i walk, i fell down 2 steps off the stairs, and got a beautiful bruise on my higher butt. back bath. so tired. jane called pula, said she's coming in 10mins. what the hell?! her fren came in Merz with her to pick me to her house. gossips, gossips, gossips. and her daughter kacau kacau my things liao. omigosh. they finally left me alone at 12am, but till then i couldn't sleep though i was so tired. yindeh asked me to think of the 19candles, but it was raining so hard, doesn't suit the mood. i miss the smell of my comfy bed(their smell so strong, ewww), miss talking to yindeh till we fell aslept, and miss hugging my NiCi to sleep too. i miss him. but i slept too in the end, dunno what time la.

not before long at about 5:30am, i had to wake up again. opened my eyes to realise that i'm in another world again, far away from home sweet home ^^ i miss you all. all take care ya!

When you are a Believer, anything is possible. Your imagination is fresh with promises and dreams. Your heart is a happier place knowing they will someday come true.

7th February

today i had to wake early to follow dad. omigosh, i asked my sis how we could ever wake up during school days?! that was like reach school 7am? if got RC duty, then...wow!! how could i do that in kuching? hoho. different life. 7am is my usual time in KL, exception of some extraordinaries...well, daddy brought me for laksa as i wished, we sat down & realised that the laksa stall was closed! mum asked dad to go another shop. haha. so dad actually stood up & brought us to another shop! unfortunately, that stall was again closed. i paiseh to ask dad go another shop la, so i had mee jawa. 4times oredi lo. 1st time is when the 4 of us went Green Road to eat. no laksa. yesterday went with yeh to ChunYuan also no laksa. kolo-mee for replacement. luckily the kolo-mee was nice :)

replaced my ATM card, and i asked for an account book, but they said the newer accounts no need account books one. so weird. after that, i came home. got Nadia's call, from the kindy. and the kids were singing for me, and the call ended with the kids altogether saying, "Teacher Angie, we want you! we love you!" omigosh, they just sound sooo cute. i miss them too, but definitely not my workplace. these kids...they're adorable. how would it be having kids of my own in the future? hehehe, nice thinking about it at times.

after that i went to sleep and accidentally skipped lunch. siaw chabo. woke up to tidy & vacuum & mop my room. then CJ invited me to Kenny Height family park. Had my hands on the bike once again, after a really long time! only 15mins (but non-stop) then it started to rain, we went uphill in the drizzles...abit wet but it was fun. when i got down the bike, i felt like i was flying, my legs were so soft i nearly fell down. haha. too long no exercise, that's it. the sweat made me feel 爽！

dad & mum came home. durians. helped to carry & stupiadd. the torns on the durian left my upper calf with 5 scratches. ouchh. had dinner. watched ying's favourite korean movie <对不起，我爱你>。it's stupid but it still captures your attention. Ben always came in when they started to kiss. and it makes him excited, haha, that's what we kacau him. CJ used his toenail to scratch my thigh. a little piece of skin came off. then he laid his head on my thighs, enjoying being a baby. then dreadful Rong came jumping on us. ying & me were saying, "How can we ever grow up in this family? having so little brothers at home, having to act childish & fight with them almost everyday?"

every advertisement me & dee were like checking our phones for messages. dunno, juz today, like we're desperate waiting for mails. my phone seems quiet, except few messages from Jac & Yen. so i smsed ying when she wa still i dad's room, "Stupiad XXXX, i noe u gonna check your phone now! =P" so i went down to get water. when i came up my message tone rang, i knew it was her, but she pretended to look so innocent. blah. lousy actor lah. actually U look funny!! haahaha!!

played around with my new camera. got a good shot of daddy wanting to smack Rong. but he said it'll spoil his image, so he tickled me & got the camera over, just to delete it! notty dadda!! online. shan said yeh just offline, then awhile she also gone, left me with her sis. blablabla...i'm not gonna elaborate this part. boring.

well, actually i was juz trying to see how much i can write for a day. not purposely thinking, just writing spontaneously. coz i realised that my mails are always the longest but i dunno why. juz type nia ma. lo-so gie. quite a lot to write for today too. call it a day. gotta sleep liao...zzzZ...

SEVEN minus one

Get to know the differences between impairment, disabilities vs handicap, disabilities vs difficulties. this lecturer actually took around half an hour to explain this! "Don't ever misuse these terms!" i'm actually a handicap tonite. (not gonna explain here)

hmm...my dear family back in Kuching was having their supper at Pizza Hut! must be again mummy's idea. dad juz love her to have a round apple face and he loved the photo with her sexy belly! hohoho ~~~ mum called and said, "Juz suddenly miss you coz there's an empty seat here. SEVEN minus one." i know... i miss them so much too =.= feel like flying back straight away to get my share of family's pizza!!

but guess wat i was doing right then? haha, PACKING. packing new clothes into the briefcase, ready to go home. i was actually tidying up the room la, so might as well pack first! 19 days. should be fast! mum and dad were laughing heads over heels, but another woman out there was saying "siaw mian-mian". who else?? sms la. peace. haha :P

CORNTOS

Once you’ve tasted Corntos, there’s no going back. It reveals a new pleasure you never would’ve thought possible. Call it excitement. Call it sheer thrill. Call it anything you want. Corntos opens you to a new world of flavours. It’s an experience that you’ll want to enjoy over and over again. Corntos. Try it, you’ll see the light.

'alone time'

i heard an adult tell another busy adult saying, "Don't you think you need some 'alone time'? free from everyone, doing anything you like or just nothing!" I did it right after that. the next day. and i really enjoyed it. it's not the loneliness you feel when you're alone. (coz i hate to be alone) it's just that little time you need just for YOURSELF. i went to Midvalley an hour or two on my own, walking the mall as i wish. it's the only time i feel that i have a sense of direction. hah. WALKING IS THE BEST REMEDY FOR STRESS. i think.

only after that only i met up with frens. and he asked me why i was wearing spects once he saw me. alamak. and you know what the kids at the kinder said? once i wiped my spects and juz hang it on my shirt to play with them. then a girl asked me why i wasn't wearing my spects. "you look like...(thinking)...a monster." i laugh till wanna pengsan. and purposely went forward towards her with my eyes wide open! (but still small, haha)

hmm...one thing you have to experience is squishing each other in the train!! just imagine. it's totally packed. every space is occupied!! and when that somebody farted, you still have to stand on your spot, giving your nose a GOOD treat!! humph!

oh ya, i found another way to release stress. eat 开心果。it's called PISTACHIOS. and i like the name. sounds special. pis(stress,stress, piss off! i wanna...) ta(big--mandarin) chio(laugh--hokkien). then take a long shower. haha, ignore the translation. i'm just being crazy. but it's what i did and thought of when i ate 开心果 just now. coz i just heard that tomoro i might have to go work ^_^

my treasure of SMSsss

dearest momma only started sms-ing after i came to KL, and she's improving fast! sometimes SO short-cut that u have to read over and over again to understand. well, i enjoy it when we talk through the phone using codes. hehe. all i have to do is "Mmm"/"Ya"/"yes"/"no"... and give little hints, then mama can interpret all. very 'keng' one. daddy and yindeh still need more practice, haha.

some of mummy's sms i'd like to treasure, but my phone memory is running out of space. so i'll save them here :) this point i'm like mummy, but i didn't record every one la. mum said she record almost all her sms le. and one day daddy was too free and decided to help mum delete messages...but got bombed instead!!! haha, kelian.

The Kissing ‘GAME’

I thought I’ve escaped from the Kissing Monster at home, but I never knew I have more ‘keng’ ones here!! Believe it not, he can kiss everywhere, EVERYWHERE! I mean ANYwhere! Omigosh…just imagine, your neck, your back, your feet!! Worst thing is I felt so ticklish, and when I said, “Enough of these! Get off NOW!” “But I like you.” Worse came to worst, the 3rd or 4th party came by and just jumped on me. “No! this is my teacher!” “My teacher!” “My teacher!” ~~fighting, fighting~~ “OK, OK. I’m EVERONE’S TEACHER, OK??” So……the kissing game starts AGAIN, but with more monsters. Just got glued to the floor until really cannot tahan, then gather all my force to stand up right, letting the bugs fall to the floor and laugh to myself. Haha, kidding. See how my mood goes! Today I’m in good mood :)

Today, I looked closely at my hands, which are called the ‘tauhu’ hands. Haha. Remembered the days they suddenly held my hands to other friends just to touch my hands. Terkejut saya. Pengsan. But now, it’s so ‘kelian’. I feel the muscles growing with the fat, currently 2 small bruises from dunno where, 3 little pieces of peeled skin from toddler’s fingernails, 2 minor tooth marks from a naughty baby! It makes me envy yindeh’s hand now. My twin hands. Haha. And another thing, my hands always reminds me of papa. The spots (oki/otiam, whatever you call it) inherited from papa. More and more are appearing. Dunno when they popped out!! Hmm…daddy’s girl. I miss daddy.

How's your soul today?

Is there a day when you kept shouting for your soul-mate(s) but 'respond' has never arrived?

Today's a nice day until after exam, when i felt waist-ache, thanks to my diarrhea. maybe i was dehydrated and yet i only slept an hour. but i should say that last nite was some memories i got back as a student. me and WLing was sms-ing each other to keep each other awake. the funniest thing was that both of us ended up on the 3-minute toilet bowl. Saji & SYee drifted off first. haha. It's dreadful reminding ourselves that we're working ppl now. what a hectic life. often discussing life in university, rather than our tuition-like college. such boredom!!

now an amusing dream i have to jot down. in my dream there's another dream, me & dee were having the same dream, but it seems so real! This is 2/3 nights back. Well, to summarise, Ben was shot dead by a CAT! Ben's 1st response was, "choi ar!" and dee, "hahaHaHaHAHA...u make me can't stop laughing, gie!! you made my day!! but a CAT?! and gun??" okies, this made me laugh back. no choice. WHY? coz Ben kept spanking the cat and it finally acted up! this might be a lesson to teach Ben not to be so aggressive, and must have self-control. ok, it's just a DREAM. and noe wat? dreaming is good for you. i juz read about it. To 'o-lo' back the victim in my dream, i gotta say that he's became a sweet(er) guy/brother since he became a boyfren. sometimes his sms can juz cheer you UP!! thanx, Bendie :)

going back to reality. i have to go on with life which is not so life, i call it. especially tonite. i've caught a fever. freezing juz now. but it's assignment time. deadmeat. torture. it's slaughtering me with hideous cruelty!!!

holiday fever

my roomie find ne very cute smiling to my comp when i was chatting with my ex-roomie who's in US now. hahah, who knows? it just turned out to be so natural wad~ and these two days i've been watching so many episodes of NARUTO, coz i gotta delete the files to put in BLEACH. gosh, what's that anime power? the first episode of leach i was laughing so har already, especially when the silly dad was like about to drag the mom's photo down...hahaha

the one-week holiday has come to an end. why so fast?! haven't really enjoyed yet. but lazing around, YES. i'm so scared i can't wake tomoro, and be prepared to go back to work. oh no!! i was telling kim that she'll be first to graduate and be the working woman then! but was shot back that i'm now the first to start the working life. haihh~~

well, i've a good news today. i've found someone to countdown with me for 2006. hehe. must think that i'm crazy thinking so far ahead. i had to. it's so called motivation. i had to look forward for holidays, as sometimes i feel like a piece of deadmeat, getting dried up. CNY2006 is my greatest motivation!!!

concert day

suddenly i feel like time is running short and i've no time for assignments and reports. it's all due on the same day with my exam! but still, i'm as lazy as ever. why?! studying all day yesterday, then me & yen went to watch 'The Myth'. some parts were really funny. good for a break :)

today, it'll be the kids' concert. i'm feeling anxious coz i hope my class danced their 'Lenggang Kangkung' well. i actually promised them lollipops, which i bought after the movie last night. haha. they're all wearing very nice and eye-catching today, but teachers...aiii...it's named 'small-sized', but it's like XXL size. ngai ti. i wonder when's the concert for the kindy i was teaching before i came. i taught 2 dances. wish i could see them.

oh ye, i realised i have a habit of buying bisciuts and storing them. haha. so much i can't finish. okies, now i'm gonna eat the keropok my fren gave me as 见面礼。laugh till wanna pengsan that day. we haven't met for months. then next i gotta study and prepare to go to the concert :)

Nefeli

just some cutting & pasting from my sister's blog...like you said, when felt like writing, can't write, when it's over, you just won't feel like writing anymore.

I had a sponsored trip to KL the other day just to attend a 2-hours talk. It was a fabulous opportunity for a shopping excursion! hehe. not that i shopped much. I was just absolutely grateful that i would be a having a few days off-work, and also at the same time see my sister there. I miss her sooo much. This girl is one determined angel. She's working five days a week in a kindergarten and then going for lectures on Sat and Sun! I really don't know how she does it. It's passion. Her thirst for doing something that she loves. Sometimes she seems a little tired, but in the end she knows it's gonna be worth it. So she moves forward with a reason. Sometimes, i wish i could just borrow some of that enthusiasm from her.So it was really great that i could see her this time. Although it was short, it was nice. We did our rush shopping - why does time pass so fast when you're spending money - and then we settled down to have our late dinner at the Captain's Cabin. We decided to be adventurous and go for an Indonesian Oxtail soup. It turned out to be super yummmy. We also shared a Seafood Au gratin cos the portions seemed huge and we were only half-hungry. After that we just took a cab back to the hotel and relished in our half silly and serious conversations until one by one, both of us just nodded off into dreamland.

hehe...put up coz u puji me until so good. wahaha. i'm not so great, k? acting tough, haha. Captain Cabin's a nice place, if only we had cocktails that night! and that night, my backbones were in heaven. you should come on Christmas or New Year, then we'd have more time together, i had no plans for then yet. so bad gotta let you go shopping alone.

There's this weird thing about my youngest brother. It seems like he's born with this incredible hulk personality. Except that he's not incredible. He's just this little guy who can be a evil monster at times. Except that when he runs to you and pleads for a bear hug and slimey kisses that you just become weak at the knees and forgives him for all the mean things he has done. He's that good. I dono where's he's got those kissin' n huggin' genes from. Can't be from my parents cos me n my other siblings seem to be out of place with all the intimacies. It's just the Asian upbringing in my days. I'm NOT that old, to persist, but it really seems like lots have changed since 2 decades ago. We were much more innocent and gullible then as children. Well, not anymore as i have observed. My brother seems to be born into an entire new galaxy. His assertiveness and mannerisms are certainly not of a 5 year-old in the 1980s. We were so much more subdued then. Oh maybe it's just me. I was such a good girl and all. Hick hick. Well to cut it short, basically i wanted to say that it's a love-hate relationship between my 5-yr-old bro n me.

i'm so glad i'm not with him. love him sooo much when i read his letters. he's so cute! but when you're with him, that's right. a love-hate relationship. you'll see more kissings & huggings here. and biting, when they get excited. it's scary at times. hiakzz~~

i love weekends

i've become a traveling person, 4nights stuck with two maids, in an isolated place where u see up, the sky; left right, houses; front, apartment; down, boring floor. used to hate that time flies, but during weekdays, i just wish it was the next day everyday! i love weekends, though i have to attend college two full-days. but at least it's more called LIFE. i wish i had more time for other activities though.

i went to check my eyes today, 3 shops i went, with 3 similar but different results. the first shop i went, the stupiad woman freaked me out! i felt like crying. she said my short-sighted increased by 300!! i'm so scared i'll be blind one day...incidents i can never forget: 1) mistaken my dad's underwear as my singlet 2) watch TV as near as 2cm coz my spects were in the shop 3) used the toothbrush i used to brush my comb to brush my teeth! (still feel like vomiting)

idiot in the bus

hmm...i seem to face at least a little problem whenever i took the bus since i came here. Last Saturday was my first day of class. I woke up so early & walked to the bus-stop. no bus. until around half and hour or so, a blue bus came. i was so relieved and went to ask the driver, "sunway pyramid?" he said, "ada, ada!" so i juz went up the bus, only then realising that i was alone in the bus with the driver. some more, he purposely took a wrong turn. only then i realised that i was in a bas pekerja. shit. imagine, i was alone with this guy for an hour, so scared i was crying already. lucky he still berperikemanusiaan, brought me safely to my destination after an hour. i was just in time for the orientation. free ride.

the next day, i still woke early. took a bus but it stoped at the ktm station for about half an hour, then the bus driver said, "ahmoi, cantiklah kasut awak. mana beli?" "bapa beli, tak tau la." ... ... then he called me to teach him mandarin. so i juz told him 早安。whatever, at least i noe i'll be safe.

today everything should be running smoothly, but me stupiakk la. i came down the bus one stop earlier, and that makes alot more to walk. so hot when i reached college. but i'm still early.

things are getting better. just hope everything is good. i'm adapting as soon as i can :)

life as a temporary 'teacher'?

This holiday i decided to make good use of my time. I chose to be a temporary kindergarten teacher. The main reason is I LIKE KIDS. But i'm not sure if i can handle a whole big bunch of them, and how it feels --- to be surrounded by kids everyday. Will i get bored??

What is your first impression of a kindergarten teacher? Well, most ppl might think that it's an easy job, teaching the kids the easiest things you'd ever known...whatever. But try it just for a day! And you'll know how it feels like. From my experience and advices from consultants, the most important thing is that you must have the LOVE for the kids. You have to ENJOY being with them, you need PATIENCE, you gotta be GENTLE and METICULOUS, you must have CONFIDENCE and be CREATIVE, and sometimes make yourself FEEL LIKE THEM.

These are my first badge of students. The six-year-olds. They're really adorable, though annoying at times. You won't believe that they're soooo smart and some have very matured thinking. Sometimes i was thinking, how can just a year's difference make it such a big gap between the six-year-olds and five-year-olds. But one thing in common, even for the little one-year-old, they hate it when you forgot their names! Yes, another important thing, you have to remember every single name and even their parents. It's even better if you're abit 'kepo' to know about their family background...hehe.

You can see straight away who they like and who they don't, especially teachers! For teachers, it's the same. You'll definitely have different levels of love. It's just that teachers had to hide them, and just be fair. As for me, i feel weird when they called me "teacher". So since the start, i had let myself be their friend. And didn't really act like a teacher? So they liked me. I was just like their big big sister, and their angel when the other teacher suddenly burst out and smacked them all. It's only a month or two i've been there, but they said they'd miss me. And i knew i did too.

The working hours are long, and it's tiring at the end of the day. It's worse in the morning when you have to wake up so early. It makes me think over and over again...whether or not i should continue to run along in this field. I don't think being a kindy teacher all my life would satisfy me, but open a kindy myself? I've never really thought that far yet...but i wished to be braver...especially this time, as i've made one of the BIGGEST decisions in my life.
Thinking of the positive sides:
1) Mrs. Sue said, "............"
2) Ms. Lo said, "............"
The above statements are my secrets. hehe. But i was so touched when they told me those.
3) It's my dream.
4) Feel young always. The kids can cheer you up.
5) My loved ones are raising their hands to give me support.
... ... (i dunno wat else, but i don't think i need much reasons.)

I just gotta give it a GO!

That'll be the real me :) That's what mama says...i'm just so stubborn. haha. 'coz it's me :p
