Today I had fun FuN FUN! Now the blood in my veins is being pumped to its limits, intoxicated with an intense dosage of euphoria. However, my throat is rather itchy from 3 hours of ‘singing’, which is defined as screeching and screaming our lungs out, and also all the non-stop talking (well, it was mainly Eu Chern who did the talking, which were stories about the weird and dislikeable girl, *********, in his class).
So, today, the March Outing, was technically defined by one word: Karaoke. And I enjoyed myself a lot. In fact, so much that I begun to miss it as soon as we stepped out of the place. Yerp. You heard right. Ying Hui had joined the ranks of Amanda, Joanna, Jing Hua, Eu Chern and Chee Kin to get high and loose herself in a Karaoke session and she totally, 100%-ly loved every second of it. Of course, this was mostly because there were only four Chinese songs (Chinese characters stress my eyes and burden my brain to decipher them) and one Japanese song present. Plus, out of the 95% of the remaining songs, I knew and sang more than half of them.
Me, Amanda and Eu Chern, being the first to arrive, started the party with ‘Big Girls Don’t Cry’ by Fergie, ‘Rehab’ by Amy Winehouse and then one of my top listed songs ‘Apologize’ by One Replubic (Eu Chern thought it was sloppy and slow, screw him for that). Chee Kin came when we were on our 4th or 5th song, though things only went wild after Joanna arrived. With her to flank me (or vice versa), I had the chance to torture my throat and ‘sing’ all the rock songs, including ‘Bleed It Out’, ‘In The End’ and ‘Somewhere I Belong’ by Linkin Park, ‘It’s My Life’ by Bon Jovi, ‘I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing’ by Aerosmith and a couple of Nickelback’s hits (I just mumbled through them coz I didn’t know the lyrics).
I must say, Joanna was HIGH. Like she had taken some ecstasy pills or something. One moment she was laying back on the couch and the next moment she was jumping to the beat of the music, screaming her poor lungs out and moving her limbs in some unknown movement. But that wasn’t all, oh no. Her peak moment was when she went HYPERVENTILATING before, during and after the Bon Jovi song! Before: “OhmyGodohmyGodohmyGod! It’s Bon Jovi! My song! My song!” During: Loudest voice amongst us. After: “I LOVE this song! Play it again! Play it again!” (or something along those lines) My God, I didn’t even so much gave a squeal when I saw ‘Apologize’ came onto the screen. Okay, it was a slow song, but you get my drift.
By the time we finally decided to leave, it was half an hour past our time slot, making it 2.30pm and making all of our stomachs grumbled. We strode over to the New Wing, took a glance around, found that the food were too expensive, agreed to eat at Esquire Kitchen and walked back to the Old Wing, where we ended up slumping down in Pizza Hut instead. While we ate, Eu Chern continued bitching like diarrhoea about that ********* weirdo and sometimes turned around to check coz he said everytime he talked bad about her, she would just materialize out of nowhere and appear behind him or something. Creepy.
Anyway, when we were standing outside Pizza Hut after we ate, trying to decide what to do next, a person from Pizza Hut came up to us and asked whether we (me, Amanda, Jing Hua and Joanna) want to help their survey by tasting their sample food. We agreed to, but later on they said they only needed 2 of us so only Jing Hua and Joanna went. After both of them went in (to the kitchen I think), the 4 of us took some photos before me and Amanda left, taking a taxi back to her place, which cost us RM8.50 each. Fuck that taxi driver. We didn’t have much choice though, most of them didn’t go to Taman Megah.
To Amanda: Thank you so much for accompanying me back and very sorry that you had to join me and missed out on rest of the outing (I wonder what they did)! Lurv ya! BFF;-)

We bloody did it. We joined in on the awareness campaign across the world and switched off our electricity for an hour, 8pm-9pm, which was called the ‘Earth Hour’, the purpose being to show concern at global warming.
Thank God we finished our dinner long before that and our maid had done washing our plates, so we kept our promise and off the lights at 8pm sharp. After we were in darkness, my sis and bro took the opportunity to play with the aroma candles (the ones in a tin container, not the nice smelling ones), lighting a few of them at once, chucking them all over the place and lighting more when there weren’t enough. Me, my mom and dad laid on the sofa and relaxed coz somehow the living room was breezy and cooling.
After a while I went to play the piano, using torchlight to light up my piano score but I couldn’t last long coz the piano area was hot like hell, causing me to sweat all over. So I stayed on the sofa for the remaining time, watching my sis and bro playing chess. Talk about efficient (for both of them, I mean).
Well, that was mostly what we did the whole hour, nothing much in one way (we practically couldn’t do anything in the darkness) yet a lot in the other (we helped save electricity and created awareness for global warming). To be frank, I wouldn’t really mind to spend an hour everyday without electricity. I mean, if I couldn’t live up to the hour with all the heat, I could just walk over to 1U for the paid air-con, right?
Everyone's favourite part of the post: photos!
