Well, as plan, I got up, had my usual succession of "wake up and sleep back again" routine like every other normal holidays. Anyway... straight to the pre-movie preparation XD It's nothing much really. I put on a black sleeveless-top and just a casual pair of jeans. Had my hair combed as usual to the right side and i was off to the gurney plaza!

Waited for bout 5 minutes after getting the already-booked-tickets(Enchanted... yes the disney childish film =P) and finally PETER arrived!! Well, actually his name's not peter but its just something i call him since he called me something i'd only allow my sis and family to call me by. Anyway, we had dinner at "pastamania" (a newly opened outlet beside GSC). The food tasted alright to me(nothing too special) but damn the portion was huge! Anyway, i managed to finish more than 3/4 of it =D As he finished his meal and i was still trying to get mine down my throat, his cell phone rang and he went out to answer the call. Well, almost practically the whole time he was on the phone =P (before and after the movie) 

The movie was .. well.. fine =) I was the one who chose the movie so when it first started with "once upon a time...." i turned to him and said 
"You're so gonna kill me aren't you?" XD Cause he warned me before if the movie was bad then he'd kill me. But in the end, peter thought the movie was funny =D I did too to be honest. Well, at the end of the day, Peter apologized for no apparent reasonable reason... he thought it was a shitty encounter cause he was always on the phone.. i think... Oh well.. peter's always peter XD

OMG!!! Sorry i haven't been uploading recently. Of course you guys know the reason to it... Stupid stressing and not forgetting long-gone SPM!!! Well let me just say "YAY IT'S OVER AND WILL ALWAYS REMAIN HISTORY!!!!!!!" Couple of things happened recently... for instance, not only is SPM gone but the concert by PESSOC(penang state symphony orchestra) has also just became a 4 hours ago history. 

Actually, PESSOC organised a camp like a week ago which i didn't attend except for the last 2 practises just before the concert. The camp lasted like 5 days or something. They even "imported" a cello tutor from Thailand who was really good. Unfortunately, none of the cellists had the time to attend the sectionals. Guess the tutor had a boring week... so pityful T.T Concert was not too bad though very tiring. Most of the pieces this time were energetic and ecstatic by Johann Strauss which made the performance very taxing. And i was sight reading all of them for the second time during the concert XD Imagine that!!! Thank god i pulled it through.

Anyway, my relationship with thomas ended a few days before SPM started. It was due to the distance and things really started getting very blurry and obfuscated. So we decided that it was best we ended it. Though i must admit i still haven't completely gotten over him. Everytime he starts a conversation with me i get this very weird feeling as though i was afraid he'd ask for a break up. But wats there to be afraid of when it has already ended between us... I'm so emo =_= Oh well, that's something i must get over.

Went out with Pei Khai and Wan Jun the day after SPM. Florence didn't go because she was up all night the night before gallivanting around with her sister so she kinda had "hang over" the day after XD No, she didn't drink... its just a term to express and not literally describe =P We watched a movie titled "balls of fury". Was funny really. 

Oh yea, when i was getting tickets for the movie, i met an online friend whom SUPPOSINGLY i've seen once before in the concert with the Uplands orchestra (supposingly as in he was there and he saw me but i didn't notice him because i'm an ignorant person... its like wat they say "ignorance is bliss" I'm blissful =P) Anyway, we've been chatting online for a year now and there was once we were planning to meet up when he came down to KL from Aus (he studies in Aus) and i was in KL for a music camp. That didn't work out cause his plane touched down a few hours after i left KL for Penang. Oh well, we finally met yesterday =P Besides, we're going for a movie tomorrow night. OMG, i can't wait to watch the movie (Enchanted premiering tomorrow!!!!!!!)

Oh yea, i've already discovered a very very very nice song, "Let go" originally by Frou Frou by i prefer the covered version by the band boys like girls!!! (btw the guitarist, Paul DiGiovanni from this band is sooo hot =P) 

Well, that's a lot of information for one entry... Will be back for more soon. Ciao.

Oh and one more thing... i highlighted my hair COPPER COLOUR!!! Wanted purple and blue at first but the hair dresser talked me out of it saying it was:
1) 4 times as expensive cause i need to bleach 3 times before dying the colour
2) 4 times as time consuming
3) Not long lasting
4) Easily fades and turn GREEN!!!! (OMG)

I guess yesterday marks ALMOST the end of our years in high school. We held a farewell lunch for all the 5th formers students in our school. It does seem really aggravating and frustrating going through all those tormenting year, but when it's finally ALMOST ending, everything just seems so empty. Lets not go there for now. 

Preparation
About yesterday, I and my best friend. Florence, were appointed as the stage deco committee. We planned how the stage is gonna be quite early but being the procrastinating youngsters we were ( and still are XD), we left the work for last minute. We did all the preparations needed to be done just a day before the farewell day(yesterday). We're amazing, I know =P Anyway, we did all the stuffs from approximately 8pm until 2 in the morning and woke up at 5am to complete the stuffs we were hanging on to (imagine how obvious my dark rings were =P ). Apparently, we completed all the tasks only at 7 something in the morning and had forty winks till 8am and had to get out of bed to get ready for the "big day". 
P.S : It was fun working with florence =P

The big day
After reluctantly getting up from bed, we got dressed (me in black long gaun while florence in .... something really weird XD ) and had our hairs set at a salon. We also had make ups on. Mom did it for me =P Anyway, after all the hassle, we were a little late and therefore, very very rush. We hastily packed everything (or so to say "everything") into 2 baggages and went on our ways to Tanjung Bungah Hotel. Upon arriving at the hotel, we quickly elevated ourselves into the ballroom in the lifts and finally got to the destination (thankfully in one piece =P... no i mean in 2 pieces since its 2 of us... lol ) We happily(happily??? Really??? o.O) decorated the over-sized back drop of the hotel. Suddenly, it stroke me that we didn't include the wordings which were the main thing of the decoration when we packed this morning. Everyone ( as in I, Florence and the teacher) paniced out a little...(maybe a lot =P) So i quickly called my parents and apparently, and ironically, they were still taking their own sweet time enjoying their breakfast and insisted on finishing it before fetching the words to us. I don't blame them... i've got no rights to. It was our fault and i do admit it. Florence got so paniced she went with another friend, Yumin to get the keys to my appartment from my parents to get those silly wordings. Very very fortunately, they came back JUST in time =) We were so relieved. 

Lunch went on quite smoothly and guess what... I even won a lucky draw price. Hehehehehee... though it's ... KINDA useless, i'm still lucky =P What?? You want to know what it is??? Ok then. What i won was a set of shampoo + conditioner of the brand Feather XD I've never used this brand before but oh well, who cares what product i use =P Astonishingly, i also won the 3rd placing for "classy VS crazy" contest. Obviously i went there as classy.... don't think anyone could ever imagine me in crazy dressing (specially with my definition of crazy dressing XD... Florence got the shock of her life when i told her what to wear for the crazy contest since she was a participant in it XD.. You really should've seen the look and expression on her face LOL) Anyway, the price was a little cute bear =D 
Few comments i got from this day: 
(1) I like you hair ( i really really really did like it too!!! Looks very English) 
(2) You look very nice (hey, thanks =D )
(3) You look like a real model (.... WAT??? Really??? Are you serious??? XD )
(4) You look so different today (oh well =P It is afterall the only farewell we're gonna attend in our high school history so why not dress up =P )
(5) Nice dressing (thanks again =P)

Conclusion, the farewell lunch was quite a success really.... though there was something that went wrong. Dear penguin lost her hp T.T She was the organiser for the games of the day and also the "classy VS crazy" contest. Therefore, she's always busy "migrating" around searching for people and coordinating the programs. She accidently leave her hp at backstage and when she went back for it, It WAS GONE!!!!!!!! ALL GONE!!!!!!!! Some one must've taken it since when she tried to call, it was already off. Whoever stole her hp will definitely pay for it... T.T Poor Penguin. 

After the farewell, I went to watch a performance at Dewan Sri Pinang. There was also a violin soloist playing Tchaikovsky violin concert. SHE WAS SUPERB!!!!!!!! SO GOD-LIKE!!!!! It was amazing how in tune her double and triple stops were. AND she's sweet and pretty too =P Great performance !!! (TYT came as well =P it was actually held in conjunction with his birthday. Clichedly, the big shots were a little late =P )

SEE BACK DROP NOT THE PEOPLE!!!! XD

I know some of you are questioning why the hell i'm using SalsaCabbage as my username. Actually, if you are observant enough to notice, the reason IS written in Adwen Leith's page. But anyway, I'll just explain more in detail of how the name was formed.

It started of something like this. Cellist and Adwen aren't only best mates but also students from the same class. They've been like that ever since the start of high school of their lives. Despite being in the same class and all, Cellist is still younger than Adwen by a couple of months. Their friendship first started when Cellist requested for a transfer from her previous school. Apparently, she found herself in this new and totally alien environment in her new school and had quite a hassle trying to blend into the new society of her new school. 

Initially, Adwen and Cellist were just normal and common buddies. Only since the 11th grade, the two girls started putting aside their differences and got to know each other better. Well actually they are very much alike (isn't it Adwen???? =P ) No. I wouldn't put it that way. Actually, they're both quite vastly different. Thats what's truely required in a relationship isn't it?? Being different to compliment the other persons characteristics. 

One fine day, (such a typical starting of a fairy tale isn't it =P ) Adwen invided Cellist to join her in a livejournal =P Cellist never really had the initiative to start the journal until Adwen had to send so many requests to Cellist's e-mail. Adwen repeatedly reminded Cellist at school to update her journal and all. So, Cellist decided to finally take a start at the journal. Before ever starting, she was in a dilemma about which username to use in the journal. Being a die hard fan of hardcore classical, Cellist wanted to honour her favourite composer at that time whose name is Shostakovich ( a 20th century Russian composer whose born in the year 1906 and passed away in the year 1975 of the Soviet Period). When she told Adwen about it, Adwen misheard the name as SalsaCabbage. Cellist went home, tried on the journal for the username Shostakovich but failed as it was already taken and not available. So she finally decided to go with Adwen's idea. And there you go..... SalsaCabbage is finally formed =P

First entry of my brand new pure untouched Journal.... Truthfully, I wouldn't have made this if it wasn't for darling Mad @k@ Adwen Leith who persuaded me into making this account. So, here i am.

Well.... Here goes.. Was forced to wake up in a worse-than-drowsy condition this morning at approximately 9.30 am. Why???? Why tortured like this??? Because my school had to hold a food and fun fair to raise fund in order to get the roof of the school building which is currently infected with termites fixed. My dearest sister, Joycelyn, and I was supposed to be meeting up with an orchestra friend, Kit Leong who i thought shared some similar features with another school friend, Debra, at 10 am in school. So obviously, as soon as we regain consciousness of the real world from dream land, we were already rather late. Therefore, we hastily got changed and headed off for the school before tidying our beds up (not that we usually do on a normal day either =P it's just an expression to show what a rush we were in) Actually, we saw this coming since we were up late last night watching Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in the cinema and the late i meant was roughly 3 am. Anyway, guess what?? We arrived in school 5 minutes late when Kit Leong texted in that he was gonna be even later than we were..... Well the rest of the fair wasn't too amusing to me. It was clichedly really really really warm as this is afterall Malaysia. They had horse rides but i didn't fancy having a go at it. Food there were typical Malaysian in which i didn't have palate for so i still return home with quite an empty stomach. In fact I hadn't taken anything much even till now =P Diet??? Sounds great =P 

Had quartet practice with my sis, Kit Leong and also Alicia. It was just a brief practice and as usual it went on quite smoothly without much stoppings. We played some serious classical pieces as well as some light once and some final fantasy pieces. I find the cello part for the final fantasy pieces really really simple and rhydhmically less challenging which can also be equated with boring =P But the violin 1 part seems melodious and all... It's so unfair =P

Was supposed to be meeting Thomas up after quartet practice at some point today. Unfortunately, he slept in today that there were too little time to hang out. So all plans were cancelled... and that makes up the disappointment of the day... Oh well... there's always tomorrow, the day after tomorrow and so on.

I've never really like killing insects... even if they were harmful deadly mosquitoes.. To me, they're all living things just like us and therefore, deserves the same amount of rights to live in this Earth. However, I do disdain insects and creepy crawlies.... They make me sick in a way =_= Somehow, insects have been mysteriously appearing on the table in my room recently. Must be the crumbs of the food i've been eating in the room that lured them =P Anyway, an ant passed by the table as i was on the laptop just now and intrigued by thoughts, i took the correction pen and squished a little of the liquid around the ant. The poor defenceless creature took a step on the sticky substance and got itself caught in it and kept struggling on to get itself out. I decided not to touch it just in case I worsen the situation. Later, a spider appear on the window of my room. I tried to trap it under the cover of a bottle and ended up squashing part of it. Body fluid squirted out from the spider before it dropped on the table... I couldn't find it after that... Wonder if it's still alive... Poor thing. I really didn't mean to do it.. And there goes the guilt for today.. Oh yea.. by the way, after the the spider incident, the ant wasn't there anymore as well... Maybe it finally got out?? Maybe i accidently squashed it with something...... :S  Actually, there's also elements of unlucky for today... Believe it or not.. this is the second time i'm typing this over... First time i had to close the windows without posting the journal =_= So stupid of me... Oh well.. better be off now. Ciao.
