Selamat Hari Raya!!

Selamat Hari Raya to all Muslim readers! How was my hari raya? Yesterday, I spent it at my kampung, Muar, Johor & in the evening with my grandparents in Cyberjaya. Today, I spent it by going raya at Aunty Tuk Nik's house & Nabil & Naim's house (the horror!!). Now I'm waiting to go to my grandmom's house.... Well, for once, I have no idea what to say... oh well! I bet I'll be writing in you soon....

Signing off

The Cempaka Concert 2005

29th October 2005 - Today I went back home early from my 11am -1 pm piano group class bcoz we students had to arrive at Cempaka Cheras at 1:45pm even though the concert is 2:45pm. My uncle Jeff & his girlfriend (Aunty) Putri fetched me from my Anne Perreau studios. When I arrived back to my sweet sweet home & my sweet sweet room, Natasha called me. She informed me that the concert was delayed to 3:30pm so I told my parents & they told me to relax. Then, I was wondering what happened to those other people who doesn't know so I called all of them. Majority didn't pick up but (finally) Ashleigh picked up her hp & asked where i was. I told her & she said that the concert is still on! I panicked & rushed the adults who were lounging in the living room. After the 20 minute drive (while Elina & Marleena called me & Sher May smsing me), I quickly rushed with my full-size guitar behind at the back stage & guess who I bumped into? Yes, I bumped into Brian Cheng in his casual clothes (of all people, why must it be him?!?!??!). Then, I went upstairs & I heard a few people calling my name. I turned around & I saw the gymnasts sitting on the upper-staircase including Sabrina, Bella, Philip, Jonathan & Daniel. The boys were insisting that Philip wanted me to pinched him (to be honest, I was so tempted!!). I kept going up & down (enduring with those idiotic boys to pinch them) bcoz I can't find the guitar group!!! So, I finally asked Alex & she replied that they're in the office. I went downstairs & ran to the office & I saw the guitar group. I was so relieved (& abit tired from all that rushing down) to see them & I asked my guitar teacher to tune my guitar. Then, he asked me to go back to the classroom where the gymansts were sitting at (I was like "WHAT?!?!?!?!"). So, Shu Anne & I just climbed up & this time, Jonathan kicked me so, I pinched him & Philip (I was so geram)!! Then, I rested & I fidgeted so I visited the gymnasts to talk with Sabrina & Bella (enduring with those boys talking & teasing). Finally, I just sat in front of the air cond & just talked with Shu Anne, Clarissa & Natasha. Later, Cik Nor asked the Boria students to line up. Shu Anne & I realised that guitar was right after boria so Shu Anne & I called all the boys & asked them to line up & Mr Koh (our guitar teacher) asked us to go backstage & guess who I saw? (No, not Brian) The gymnasts!! & Philip & Jonathan kept annoying me so I just pinched both of them really hard (so don't annoy me over the limit). Then, when it was the guitars turn, I lined up first (why did I have to be leading the line??? WHY?!?!?). & here's the topping of the cake, (we have to look at Mr Koh who was the conductor. He was standing behind Datin Fridah) Brian Cheng was standing behind Mr Koh, so I had to stare at them!!!!! After that guitar play, I went & lent my guitar to Mr Koh bcoz the Std 6 needed it (he's gonna give it to me next year). My dad nearly knew how BC looked like but thank god no one called him!! But now BC knows how my dad looks like... Oh well!! It was fun while it lasted!!

Cheras Rehersal

27th Oct 2005 - Today I was suppose to go to Cheras by 8am sharp (try & imagine my parents expression). I woke up for sahur & went online. Apparently, Sabrina was online. When it was 7 am, she went offline bcoz her driver was waiting. So, I just had to wait for my dad to wake up. While waiting, I packed all my neccesaries (Garfield comic book, hairbrush, handphone, outfit) for the rehersal. I know it's gonna be one long day! (Finally) My dad was all set & drove me to cheras. I think it was like a 20 min drive.When I arrived, I went to Cheras but I froze bcoz I noticed evry1 was wearing their costumes & I was in my sports attire!!! So, I quickly changed & rushed into the North Hall. I noticed that evry1 really put some effort in this concert. It was fun to watch especially the gym bcoz I watched evry1 & they really were good!! So I went backstage with my gigantic guitar & passed Philip who apparently was laughing at me for wearing a weird green-collared shirt with black pants (I secretly wore them backwards. Obviously, Philip knew). That fool! Tomorrow he ain't gonna laugh ( I hope). After playing what seems the worst performance eva & to our surprise, they applauded to us (or was it for us? Hmmm...). I wanted to try & pinch Philip but apparantly he was guarded by Ms Wong so he's safe for now but wait 'till 2moro.... Anywayz, the whole rehersal was repeated & we went back home early..... It's fun. 2moro is also the full-dress rehersal but at Damansara. Can't wait to type that entry in!!

Annoy Aishah Day (?!?!?)

26th Oct 2005 - Today I actually came early (I consider coming to school at 7:50am, u know)!! After 4 levels climbing up the stairs with a full-size guitar in my hand, I opened the 5 Aqua door (while panting) & saw the usual crowd, a bunch of std 4 students mixed with the std 5 students in our territory! I was kinda upset bcoz my best buds Kim & Sher May didn't come to school today so I guess Shu Anne, Elina & I were the only sane students in the classroom. I heard the boria students sing their boria with the recording of Elina playing drums (on the real day, she use real drums)! It sounded quite cool!! & so they sang over & over.... finally, we went down for lunch. I decided to go downstairs too bcoz it's so boring playing uno all the time!! I annoyed Alex & Clarissa for a moment (I forgot how to annoy ppl but I still had my "touch". LOL) . Since they were insisting me to go upstairs, (as if! I know they're trying to get rid of me!! Hmmph!) I decided to go upstairs =P I played a few rounds of Speed with Dania. Later, I was waiting for Encik Mazuki (the boria teacher) to come in but he asked the boria performers to go to the hall to practise & that's when insane people started to annoy me. First, Robin (5 Terra) came in our class, then he started to annoy us by thinking we're some sort of weirdos as a presentation (do not comment)!! Then, I accidentally released an eraser at BC & he kept passing it to Daniel & he ran out of the class & threw it between 2 lockers. After taking the eraser, I chased Daniel back to class & he tripped & fell (good for him & BC was laughing like a maniac). Right after that, Philip came in our class. I chased him out too (bcoz he so insulted me). When I caught him, I gave him a big slap & a pinch (don't laugh. I pinched Kim & she has a bruise). Then, Philip kept teaming up with BC by throwing the eraser evrywhere (I really hate it when they do that) & annoy me. Finally, (after the moset long 2 hours with people bothering me) I went down to lunch (bringing my full-size guitar) with Shu Anne. After Lunch, Shu Anne & I headed to the guitar room for practise. When Mr Koh (guitar teacher) asked me to go up there to tune my guitar, I went back down to sit (thank god I had some sense to do slowly) but I felt like I'm sitting on a cushion of air bcoz Jing Lun took my chair. All the boys laughed. After 45 mins of practise, we headed back to class. The routine was the same as before lunch (Boria was in the hall & Philip kept popping in & out & BC annoying me but NO robin bcoz I pinched him to stop bugging Shu Anne & I) but Melanie & Ashleigh decided to bully me also. Melanie kept slapping me bcoz got mosquito (as if). Oh, but here's the worst bit where I was VERY VERY ANNOYED WITH BRIAN CHENG. He threw a duster at my face & then on my pinafore. I slapped him but here's the bit: IT'S NOT OVER!!!

Another Thursday

21st Oct 2005 - I came to school super late for the fact that I woke up at 7:45am (same goes for my mum) & we left the house at 8am sharp. My cheeks were burning red for the thought of entering a class with my noisy fellow 5 Aquans saying "Hey, look! Aishah's late!!" (it happened once). After climbing up the 3 level stairs, I opened the door & saw like what it seemed 65 kids in the 5 Aqua classroom. Unfortunately, BC saw me coming in late & I just know he'll tease me or something like that & my best bud, Kim was absent on that day. I spotted my friends (Shu Anne, Melanie, Alex, Bonnie, Jane) sitting in one corner of the class with everyone gathering around (being awed) Shu Anne to listen to her practise the guitar. I too decided to practise the guitar with her (unfortunately, we were the only girls chosen to play guitar in the concert bcoz we are the only girls who plays guitar in the whole std 5. Not to brag but I guess we're pretty good to play guitar). Later, we were quiet bcoz the class was supposed to practise their "boria" (with En Mazuki singing or shouting his head off. We noticed that his face was glowing red). 2 hours had passed & it was break time. I decided to go downstairs (even though I was fasting & had to stay to class) to tempt myself in front of tons of kids gobbling food. Nothing much was happening bcoz my friends were not really in the mood to talk to each other so I decided to go back upstairs. The routine was the same as in the morning. After our lunch break, Shu Anne & I went to the guitar classroom to practise playing our guitar piece with the other chosen boys. After 50 mins of practise, we were forced to go back to our 5 Aqua. We were shocked (& relieved) to see no std 4 in the std 5 territory. I sat down quietly writing down in my school diary when a rubber band flew out of no where. I suspected it was BC & I was correct. I chased him on the whole upper level & when I caught him, I slapped him. Panting, I sat down again on the same spot & again a rubber band flew but this time it landed on Amber, a std 5 Ignis girl who was sitting next to me. She too chased BC the whole level same as me. He really was annoying me alot bcoz there were no other girls to disturb, I guess.... But it was a fun day suprisingly!

Tiring Thursday

Thursday, 13/10/05 - The Thursday began with me coming to school late by 5 mins (I woke up at 7:30). I saw all of my 5 Aqua classmates playing board games/UNO cards. After greeting my teacher, I rushed & join my friends playing UNO. Our break was cut short for a suprise assembly by my principal, Pn Rajini & vice-chairman, Dr Ridzal. I was standing between Meenaksi & Ashleigh, beside me Marleena. It was quite boring, listening to people talking about a spelling-bee contest but the amusing bit of that assembly was Pn Rajini informed us about not saying dirty 4 lettered words & say this 4 lettered word: L-O-V-E. Hee hee. After the longest assembly of my life, we headed on playing UNO but I cut it short because I had to go to guitar practise along with my gigantic guitar & Shu Anne beside me. Later (after the finger-breaking practise), we dragged my guitar upstairs to our class. Since the classroom contained only Sher May instructing girls to dance for the concert, we decided to practise on the guitar. Suprisingly, we attracted quite a crowd. My Maths teacher ask me to sing in the end & I sang 3 songs!!!! People say I sing nicely but I think they're being polite....

The Cempaka Days

11th Oct 2005 - Today (as explained) is not the "perfect" day for me (as usual). My friend, Dania polka-dotted my sock with green permanent marker. It's quite hard to fit in with the 5 Aqua, Cempakans, who are quite different comparing to last year's 4 Ignis & calm down with people trying to annoy your head off. I'm one of them. Yes, today was one of those days. I have issues against Tuesdays like Garfield with Mondays. They are just plain horrible & will make bad luck come along with you. Today was fine & dandy, playing Star Wars Monopoly with the boys, singing with the girls & my vocal teacher, Ms Ann & playing 2 versions of UNO: Harry Potter & Simpsons. I brought my full-size guitar for the concert practise & in the end, it was cancel. Conclusion, I dragged that gigantic thing in school for NOTHING..... Later, I went to piano straight. I was so tired & exhausted from the fact that I was fasting. After the 1 hour torture, I went home & headed to the computer & so here I am...
