Mi mejor nombre de amigas es Charis Ow Phui Yan. Ella es de Malasia pero ella es el chino. Ella tiene 18 años y ella está en el mismo grupo de año que mí. Ella tiene el pelo largo directo marrón. Ella es corta, pero ella es todavía muy bonita. Vamos de compras juntos casi cada sábado para la diversión, y a veces vamos para beber el café. Le gusta beber el café, pero no me gusta el café. Su color favorito es la naranja y su fecha del nacimiento es el 18 de julio. Amo a mi Mejor Amiga muchísimo.
My friends' best name is Charis Ow Phui Yan. She is from Malaysia but she is the Chinese. She is 18 years old and she is in the same group of year as me. She has the long direct brown hair. She is short, but she is still very nice. We go shopping together on almost every Saturday for the diversion, and sometimes we go to drink the coffee. She likes drinking the coffee, but I do not like the coffee. Her favorite color is the orange and her date of the birth is July 18. Very much loved my Best Friend.
Awwww... thank you, Anh. btw, that's his essay for Spanish.

I was randomly blog hopping, and came across Annie's blog. Well, that's what I normally do these days. Since I stopped blogging, I visit blogs during free time. But mind you, I DO NOT have tonnes of free time in my life. Hello, IB diploma is a serious bitch. I just finished a 1,137 Theory of Knowledge essay and I still have Higher Level Maths to do. FML.
Okay, Im going off topic now.
So anyway, she posted these survey questions up around New Year's time? Well, I not too sure, but it sorta encouraged me (thank you, sexy!) to just update my blog by answering them for myself.

Oh, by the way, I just came back not too long ago from Chiang Mai. The trip was AMAZING. Will go into talking about that the next post. Well, hopefully.
These are the pictures on Saturday night/Sunday morning. It was impressive how we managed stay up late and wake up at 6 to go to the airport. *pats self at the back
L-R : Me, Annika, Amber and Jess. I love these girls.
My roomie for the entire week in Chiang Mai.
The hotties; Amber, my meimei and Jess.
"ooo yeah, that's right, I luff it"
the bestf and Annika.
EVERYONE, TO IOP!!! by the way it stands for Individual Oral Presentation. Some literature shit required for the IB course.
Seriously, I dont deserve this kind of treatment. IB is no joke, people. Literature sucks.
Fishbowl. Yumm.
Haha!
I've more pictures to upload actually. But oh well.
I might keep my blog private soon. Cos I have a feeling my little cousins are still reading my blog. (YES YOU, GRACE AND GLORIA!) Probably they stopped, but I dont kno. Im fine as long as they just read it for fun, but if anything inappropriate goes back to my parents, which I know that WILL happen eventually, I would have to be safe and make my blog private.
And I know for sure, I cant bribe these little kids. It never works. I've been a kid before, I know. cos I was a pain on my siblings' arses. Lol*
Happy New Year, world! (and also, to my blog! which... has been... in a coma...for God knows how long)
ANYWAY!!! *clears throat
year 2009 was overall an incredible year for me. It is likely by far, one of the the best years of my life.
I've gone through tonnes of challenges, ups and downs. However, with all that, I've got to know who my true friends were and who really loved me for me. I've also came to realize that certain people are just not worth of my time anymore and some are best stayed away from.
I have been in Vietnam for more than half of a year now. And I love it, honestly. But, I hate the fact that I have two lives now. One in Penang and one in Vietnam. It seems really hard to keep up at times. But I know that God placed me here for a reason and He knows what's best for me.
- besides that, I also wanna thank a certain someone who had always been there for me from the beginning of the year towards the end of 2009; Bryan Teoh. With his SUPERSONIC (pfft...) sarcasm skills and lousy jokes, it definitely made me a happier person to have known him.
Oh, it's my cue to insert a picture now...
this was during the summer holidays. Butterfly Farm!
and... this was on New Year's eve ;) see the difference?
note: can you see snow?! *gets all excited
- there are so many people back in Malaysia that I wanna thank for making last year an awesome one. I probably will not upload everyone's pictures here right now cos Im really, really tired at the moment. Lol*
First up...
kache and korkor,
my jkor,
my didi,
the bestf,
my favourite gang,
+ Joshua who is currently in the States now :(
and my super heroes,
words cant really describe how incredible you guys are. Im sorry I cant elaborate much about each one of you one by one, but I just want ya'll to know that I appreciate every single thing that you guys have done for me. I love you all!
Gotta go off right now. my bed beckons :D
Happy 2010, everyone ♥ Cheers to an awesome year ahead!
I have mind-blowing friends even though I see them everyday. Friends that I met for just four months, seemed like friends that I've known for my entire life.
Days in school are getting better and better; they are all filled with laughter, talks and goofs.
Teachers who rock my socks off; they actually give you credit for the work you've done, notice you and encourage you to do something more than you're capable of.
sensitive, caring, and praises you when you're doing well.
Parents, are letting me go slowly although I know that they're dying to not let me go. still protective, as usual. especially Mom who goes loco when I forget to text her. Even though I got my ass kicked, I loved it. Cos I know she loves me.
Gradually they're letting me to go off by myself in Vietnam. Im 18 in reality, however, I will never be over 13 in their eyes. But that's how I know they love me.
Currently missing Rebecca Ow and Jonathan Ow tonnes. the annoying singing, the eavesdropping, the "mei-do-this-mei-do-that"... Im looking forward to being in the midst of the both of you again.
so, again, I've been missing in action. this time, I cant say that I'll try to update anymore cos I fail at it every single time.
Lol*
anyway, this is what I was up to last week...
KOREA!!!
I miss this so much.
we MUN-ers are awesome like that.
the country I represented throughout the conference.
people from everywhere but mostly Koreans though.
and this is my homestay family.
I miss Mr and Mrs Kim! Nicest/coolest homestay parents, ever. they allowed us to hang out past curfew and we went out past midnight on the last night!
why is Mr Kim cool? That's not him, by the way. He's the one on the left.
Mr Kim : Child, child(I know, it's weird that he calls me that)... You drink? Charis : Only a little bit. Mr Kim : How old you? Charis : 18? Mr Kim : OKAY! BEER PLEASE!!! awesome shit.
I know I've been missing in action forages, but I just wanna let all of you know, I'll try to blog as often as before (though I've lost all my blogging mojo)
I have been facing a lot of rough moments these few weeks and I couldn't even find time to get myself back together, let alone blogging. But no worries, guys. Im much better now. Im doing fine.
Im going to blog tonight or maybe tomorrow night. Either way, it's soon.
I've never learn how to appreciate weekends before school started because everyday was a weekend to me for the past 9 months.
UNTIL...now.
Nowadays, Im looking forward to weekends to catch up on my work, hang out, family time, church and most of all, some me time.
Seriously. The phrase "you never know what you had til it's gone" is so beyond true. Imma start appreciating holidays and making the most out of it.
I had dinner in Al Fresco's yesterday and it was superb. Despite the fact that I hated my food, I still had a great time hanging with Lillian, May, the Brians (Le and Hwang), Julia, Grace, Arusha, Anahita, Frances, Rhys and Paolo. Yup, it was a big group of people.
We even sang This Love and I think it sorta pissed the waiters/waitresses off. Lol* but it was a heck load of fun.
Lillian.
May and Lillian.
Brian Hwang and May.
Julia. she's playing Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz.
and she has an amazing voice.
Julia and I.
that's how cool this place is.
woot woot.
I spelt Anahita's name wrongly here. Ooops*
the weird tic-tac-toe game.
Haha!
Grace and Arusha.
Brian Le, Anahita, May and Lil.
some gay thing is going on here between Brian and Paolo.
see, I told ya.
Rhys.
Grace and I.
before...
and after.
Lol* Brian is weird. The worst thing is, he knows and admits it.
Anahita.
Frances.
Brian Le.
Paolo.
and Lil!
overall, it was cool hanging w/ them. Now I know where to go for awesome Italian food.
anyway, Im rushing my assignments now. Gotta go!
XO.
Currently watching -
Kanye West dissing Taylor Swift.
took me awhile to search for the real footage cos mostly were banned if not random people who were commenting on the situation. Those vids misled me for like 10 times now. Gah.
Anyway, Im not a HUGE fan of Taylor Swift, but I do like her songs. And the whole thing above was just inappropriate, in my opinion.
I'd be so upset too if I was in her shoes.
White Horse. one of my favourite songs from her. ps:// download the Stephen Jerzak version!
