A feeling unable to be called forth by any other means than my father's praise.
His pride gives me a figment of purpose in life, one that I'll stretch wide apart and paint my life on.

bob the builder ftw! (obama stole material from him, totally)
Exams start tomorrow!
Can I do it?
YES I CAN!
Tomorrow, it's English and IT.
I need to do well. I hope I will do well. I can do well!
For some strange reasons, I'm not so very stressed out about the exams. Despite the fact that it's going to start in less than 24 hours, I'm just sitting here...not stressing.
You might think that's a sign that I'm confident and that I know everything I need to. But that's not the case.
Going to go throw myself into piles of books and God's arms for this.
See you in 2 weeks.

Muse
I don't know if you guys realized, but I renamed my blog and gave it a new description. The seemingly random words at the end of the description are words/symbols that remind me of certain people. There's one for each person. Try to guess which one you are? :P
Been writing. A little bit. I wrote 3 pages a few days back. I actually really like this piece, even though I think it'd be confusing for most. I'm going to force someone to read it and critique it. And yes, Soph, I'm thinking of you.
Exams will destroy me. But not if I destroy them first!

120%
Cough is getting a lot better! Still there, but my white blood cells are working hard to evict them.
Exams in 3 weeks, and nowhere near prepared.
Wishlist for self-persona:
- Priority recognition
- Time management (never ever)
- Reality check
- Stability
- Commitment
- Maturity
- Love
Lately, in order to compensate for my lack of writing, I've been mentally scripting out things I see. My friends have noticed it too. They keep asking me if I have enough sleep, because they always see me 'daydreaming.'
Sometimes I'm not quite sure where to draw the line between daydreaming, dreaming, and reality. They all form a prism, with me sitting at the very meeting point (mitzpah).
Google Chrome is awesome. Will get braces in a few weeks (omg, help me pick a color! Blue/green/orange?)
DATE FOR ROANNE'S RETURN !WRITE THIS IN YOUR DIARY/CALENDARS/HANDPHONE ORGANIZERS/ETC! - DECEMBER 12
HOHOHOHOHOHO!
Prepare yourself Malaysia, a storm is coming!

Her house was awesome. I had a lot of fun baking my own wedding cake. AND JAEDA LOVES ME! <3 SHE LOOOOVES ME, SHE LOOOOVES MEEEEE! (i think she does?)

SHE STILL LOVES ME!
(i hope)
it's my natural motherly presence that welcomes her and makes her feel all comfortable around me! yes yes, i truly believe in that!
....I want my own children. D= 20 sons, 5 daughters. please, God, please.

Low Battery
She mulled over her writings, pencil at the ready, always swift to cross out any word that didn't please her. She murmured to herself
no, not that word, 'desired' maybe? 'longed for'? ah, yes, 'wished'!
as she went along, searching for the words that would complete the jigsaw puzzle.
Writing wasn't romantic for her. Not at all. For some others, writing was as romantic as love, as spring, as Paris, as rainbows and butterflies. But for her, it wasn't. It wasn't romance. It wasn't expression. It was life. And she clung to her life desperately, knowing full well that without it, she'd lose her voice.
She scribbled along, rushing -- others took their time in writing, penning down every word with great care -- always rushing. Life was calling for her, and she was ready to answer it immediately.
Hahaha, okay, I don't know what that was about. I just needed to quickly write something. I haven't written anything in ages -- bad Roanne! -- and I need to express something (yes express. That girl up there is not me -- writing is my way of expression). My muse decided to come back from her vacation. Well, not really. My muse ditched me many years ago and still hasn't returned, but I'm getting along fine without it. She'll come crawling back to me! They all do! Rawr.
But yes, I needed to write a quick drabble. That one up there had no direction at all, I just wrote on impulse. It's too simple and un-pretty. :( And also, random. But heck, random is what drabbles are. I don't know. I'll work on something pretty later. Maybe something romaaaaantic for my birthday, kekeke.
I think I'll start posting random writings up here -- in order to make up for my lack of updates. You know, I'd love critiques and comments - especially critiques - but I have a feeling that most of my writings will be too short to warrant anything. Hahaha, oh well.
And OMG, LOL @ Vonn's "gotta catch them all!"

Behold! And all was right in the world once more!
Hark, a new post!
Okay, no one checks my blog anyway, hahaha. =D Yesh, it's my fault for not updating. But it's Korowa's fault for not letting me update.
Actually, it's the education system in general. DARN YOU, SCHOOLS!
Okay, so are there any new updates about me?
...NO! Roanne is eternally the same. Never-ever-changing, always remaining the same wonderful girl. Forever. And ever. And you all must be so grateful for that.
Oh, right, I cut my hair. More layered now (as in, it's more obvious than last time). I'm happy with my hair. No fringe also. Screw you fringes, you go take your oh-ow-stop-poking-me-in-the-eye-hair-strands to someone else. Not for me, hair fibers! Not for me!
Anyway, yeah, it's shorter, and I can't do my cute pigtail braids anymore (RIP cute schoolgirl look) because all the hair will stick out randomly, and I'd look like Medusa with braided hair.
But it's nifty. I don't think you guys would notice any difference though. No one ever notices when I do something with my hair, seriously! Everytime I get a haircut, and whine about how the hairdresser cut too much off, everybody would just say, "...you got a haircut?"
Heck, last time, when I got a PERM, no one noticed. A PERM. PERM. P-E-R-M! As in, curly locks of love. NO ONE noticed.
(actually, that was because my hair somehow can't be permed and went straight during the weekend, as I had gotten my hair permed on Friday...which brings me to another point)
So, my hair is uber straight, yah? We all know that. It's a gift and a curse for me. Easy to maintain, but I love curly hair. Like, really love curly hair, the nice long elegant swooping mega-ringlet (not those small, multiple ones, but the type of ringlets that swirl down into one smart, elegant and classy ringlet). But my mom doesn't want me to.
And in a way, I'm okay with that. Because 1) I might suck with curly hair (I AM NOT A RISK-TAKER!) and 2) You know how a perm fades with time right? I personally think that for most people, during the period when the perm fades (approx. 3~6 months), the hair turns out really raggedly and un-classy. And I don't want that. Roanne + unclassy = DOES NOT COMPUTE!
But anyway, my now-more-layered-hair has more shape in it. Well, moreso than last time. I love you, hairdresser lady.
Hairdresser lady (henceforth referred to as HL, or Hello Litty) is a Malaysian, too. And she speaks in the most Malaysian-Cantonized way ever. I love her.
My sister doesn't like her though. Cause Hello Litty gave her a strange, omg-there's-a-bird's-nest-on-your-head fringe last time. Rachel's all "Never more, Hello Litty! You can take your scissors somewhere else, my money will never enter your pocket!"
Rachel's fringe is now all awesome though, thanks to an Australian hairdresser she saw a few weeks back. His name is Robert, and they serve hot chocolate in his hairdressing shop. He's awesome. I've never met him. Mom won't let me go there though, cause he charges 3 times as much as Hello Litty.
Oh well. My hair is made of win. =)
And yes Vonn, I'd like to buy a student. Buy 1 get one free, you say? I'll buy 2 then. I want four kids. ALL BOYS PLZ! Can I choose? I want Ivan. Oh, wait, can I have Jovene too? :D
Oh, and SOPH IS COMING HERE TOMORROW, OMG?
And....MY BIRTHDAY IS NEXT NEXT WEEK, OMG??? I expected to be bombarded by presents from you all. Send via snail mail please, I love you all.
Oh saya tuhan! (hahaha what what?)

I am both a lazy little pig and a very busy nerd, thus I haven't updated this Roanne-forsaken blog.
Anyway, holidays are over, school's up again. Homework's killing me.
Watched Batman on Sunday. Was very good. Go watch it now. When the credits rolled, everyone in the cinema started applauding. :D
I think my memory's improving, but my concentration is started to falter really quickly. D=
Daddy dearest is returning tomorrow night -- with a weight scale for me. HAHAHHA! Also hopefully some games/music CDs. Again, he's bought a whole bunch of Chinese dramas for Mom. ~_~ If Mom watched romantic comedies or something, I'd watch along and try to focus on what they're saying to learn Mandarin. But nay, she watches old war movies with cheesy sword clashing sound effects. And also, old guys with strange strange moustaches.
I need to start managing my time better. D=
UPDATE END!
Oh wait, one more thing. What the heck is with random spam on my chatbox? AASKDFJAWELKASKAHI!

Random fact of the day: there is no Hokkien word for: bra, airport, and pattern. And other words, but eh, let's keep it simple for now.
Bonus random fact: Hokkien is the best Chinese dialect. It's true!
Week 1 of exams OVER! Time to begin Long Weekend Revision For Week 2. Monday is a holiday, a celebration for the Queen's birthday. ALL HAIL THE QUEEN!
Next week, IT and Biology exams. Hu hu hu.

Party ti -- wait, no, wrong
Exams start tomorrow! First up, ENGLISH!
Will be doing a language analysis and an essay on プライドと僻み. Also known as Pride and Prejudice. Hu hu hu, I have no idea whether my Japanese is correct? I know I got the correct words down (プライド = pride, と = and, 僻み = prejudice) but maybe I have the wrong context for these words? There's probably other synonymous words more suited for this context. Hahaha, nevermind. Can't wait till I can TOSS THE FREAKING BOOK OUT OF MY WINDOW! DIEEEEEEEEEE, AUSTEN!!!
(I love you Soph, forgive me darling!)
After the exams, I plan to commence my LINGUAL IMMERSION in all three Asian languages that I so desperately want to learn: Chinese, Korean, and Japanese! Hu hu hu, can't wait. And yes, I realize that attempting to learn three languages at once may cause severe brain damage to myself. But what the heart so desperately desires, the mind and the soul will act accordingly. Or something equally stupid-sounding.
Seriously. All three of those languages are so wonderful. And Hangul is the most awesome thing ever. MINI-SYMBOLS UNITING INTO ONE MEGA-GUNDAM! Okay, I'll calm down.
But Japanese and Korean grammar keep insisting on tripping me, gnawing on my pants leg, and then throwing eggs at me. I hate grammar. Chinese grammar is so much easier. D= Well, kinda. Is there actually any difference between Chinese and English grammar? I can't actually think of any. Probably because I don't really know much Chinese in the first place, heh.
Anyway, meanwhile, I'm currently freaking out. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to do well. At all. Well, maybe on English and IT. But I'll fail Biology, Chemistry, and Math Methods. I'm pretty sure of it.
Pray for me? Please? :D
Oh, fudgecakes. Googled it, and it's supposed to be プライドと偏見. I TRIED, OKAY, I TRIED! *cries* 僻み does mean prejudice though...:(...maybe for another context. Bleh.
More kanji to learn, I suppose. Every little thing I learn is a step towards mastering the language! I must be 前向き! (Optimistic) AND I KNOW I GOT THAT CORRECT, OKAY? (I hope)
Okay, I'll stop procrastinating and go study now. Pray for me, kthx, love you all, hug hug hugs, saya memeluk awak, cium cium cium
(come on guys, start chanting, "GO ROANNE! GO ROANNE! GO GO GO ROANNE!", and dance!)

Oh, fudgecakes. Googled it, and it's supposed to be プライドと偏見. I TRIED, OKAY, I TRIED! *cries* 僻み does mean prejudice though...:(...maybe for another context. Bleh.
More kanji to learn, I suppose. Every little thing I learn is a step towards mastering the language! I must be 前向き! (Optimistic) AND I KNOW I GOT THAT CORRECT, OKAY? (I hope)
Okay, I'll stop procrastinating and go study now. Pray for me, kthx, love you all, hug hug hugs, saya memeluk awak, cium cium cium
(come on guys, start chanting, "GO ROANNE! GO ROANNE! GO GO GO ROANNE!", and dance!)

mosquitoes must DIE
I hate them. Grararara.
On Thursday, I was petting the neighborhood cat (name's Jazz, and is so cute and fat, and I love cats now haha). And then, lo and behold, a mosquito bit my pinky finger. Within ten minutes, my finger had swollen up quite badly, but I figured it'd go away.
It's Saturday now, and it's swelling really badly. My pinky finger's width is now bigger than my THUMB. My freaking THUMB.
And the spot where the mosquito bit me keeps producing this weird, yellow pus-juice thing. I have to keep wiping it off with a tissue. It's on my left hand, too, so writing is now really hard. And I have to do my homework. Lousy mosquitoes, trying to make me fail my exams. Seriously, if I write, I'll have to bend my pinky, which makes the juice squirt out more and my finger swell more. I don't know what to do. :(
You know the loose skin around the middle of the finger? The part where the finger bends? Yeah, for my pinky, that spot is all swollen up completely, and fat looking. It's like having an obese finger.
On a happier note, DBSK/Tohoshinki is totally brightening my life up. OH JAEJOONG/YUNHO, MARRY ME! And of course, Teppei. ^_^

oh, i wuv youuuu anberlin!
OH YES HOT STUFF ANBERLIN! Akakaka!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Surrender
Their fourth studio album currently slated for an August release.
OH YES! I am pumped! I need more awesome songs to fuel my playlist! The album will be "guitar-heavy", but I really hope they put in one or two happy-poppy songs like Autobahn or Downtown Song. ^_^
And there'll be "diverse instruments"...like the sitar. Whoa, the sitar. Awesomesauce. And they also want one of their tracks to be playable on Rock Band. WHOOAAAAAAAA!
This is their first album with their new record company, by the way. It's a 'major label' : Universal Republic Records. Now, pretend that you know what that is. Because I know that I don't. =/
But regardless: Anberlin will rock. Oh, right, and because I know most of you won't care to read the wiki article, I'll just copy-pasta a quote regarding the album title, New Surrender:
August, come quickly!!
By the way, I think this is a record for me. How many updates already? Normally I only update twice a month. Wakaka. I think I'm just procrastinating studying. Lol. D=

defeated, that something has conquered us. We must change, not because we want
to, but because we desperately have to. We can not take life in its current
suffocating state, even to admit such desperation shows that we are feeling
deserted, wandering the barren desert, a shell of our former selves. It is only
up from here, it is impossible to sink any lower into ourselves or our
circumstances. But we can be salvaged, a deliverance. No vice can stand, no fix
can take. The thorn in the side can be removed, but you have to be willing to
admit and surrender. Surrender your habits, your lifestyle, your past, your
present, and your future. This is your new surrender. The new surrender.
August, come quickly!!

I am a sad panda. And also, a banana.
I feel a lot of regret over not doing more when I was younger.
I think that the reason why I feel that I don't have a lot of free time now is because there's so much I want to do. I want to play the piano, I want to learn the guitar, I want to develop my musical ability, I want to learn Mandarin, I want to learn Japanese, and I want to write like a frenzied artist.
When I was younger, I should've taken advantage of my free time to further my piano and Mandarin studies. But nooooo, I had to not be interested in them back then.
I don't "regret" any of my decisions. They make sense to me still. I stopped piano and Mandarin because I didn't like it. I don't learn anything if I don't like it, really. But I just wish that...I had wanted to learn it back then. If I was interested back then, I know I could've achieved so much.
And so now, I have to cram in writing, learning languages, and learning instruments into any time I have that isn't dedicated to studying.
I think I do sound quite silly lah. But I really want to be awesome at all these things. I want to be a polyglot (can speak a lot of languages lah), an awesomesauce writer, and a OMGWOWOWOWOW musician. And I know that if I keep working at these things, I can and will one day be all those things. But with what little time I have to practice these things, that 'one day' is very far away.
I haven't practiced guitar in weeks. WEEKS! When I finally practice again, my fingers are going to hurt like heck.
What I regret: not having good time-management skills. Oh time, where are thou?
I'm going to make my kids watch Nodame Cantabile so that they'll want to learn an instrument and Japanese, and make them listen to awesome (not ulu opera songs) Chinese songs so that they'll want to learn that.
Oh, and I wish I had taken up violin. I was actually suppose to study violin! I remember going to the music store with my family and looking at a selection of small, cute violins meant for a small girl like me! But...I don't remember why I didn't study it. O_o. I went with piano after that.
And you know what that means? IT MEANS THAT I CAN'T JOIN AN ORCHESTRA! Darn it all, how am I supposed to meet hot musicians and have awesome romantic dramas with them? I LOST MY CHANCE AT A REAL-LIFE J-DRAMA! *cries*
Oh, and I want to do Vonn's awesome photo tag thing. But I'm quite lazy! I also don't have a lot of photos. D= I'll get around to it though. Meanwhile, KEEP TAGGING ME PEOPLE! WITH NON-TIMECONSUMING PHOTO TAGS! JUST WORDREPLY TAGS PLS!
Summary = I'm a sad black-and-white banana.

I fell asleep in class today. I woke up riiiiight before my teacher went, "Are you sleeping, Roanne?" To which I quickly replied, "Huh, oh, no, of course not!"
I'm such a good student, hor?
I have a maths test tomorrow. Pray for me plskthxbai. Oh, and also an IT excursion! We're going to the city...TO A GAMES EXHIBITION! OMG OMG OMG, PSYCH!!!!!!! I love IT. Wakakaka. Exhibition is about gaming, history of games and whatnot. I AM HYPED!!!!!
But then...MATHS TEST.
But then! GAMES!
But then...MATHS TEST!
But then...GAMES!!!
I'm contemplating taking up piano lessons again, at my school. I want to not suck at it. ~_~
BTW, Vonn, START FACEBOOK-WALLING!!!! ~_~_~_~_~_~ I WANT EPIC POSTS, DARN YOUUUU!!! And papayas do not suck. Squeeze lemons over them and they rock. AND they make your boobs grow (according to some Chinese tradition, lol). Thus, they are vital to me. :( I hate being an airport. ~_~
Back to music-topic: I wish I was more musically attuned. D= Like, perfect pitch, sense of rhythm, blah blah blah. I have the worst hand-eye coordination too. And heck, left hand-right hand coordination.
....mangosteens, where art thou? D= Currently, my fantasy is hugging Teppei Koike who's holding a bowl full of mangosteens and rambutans.
Anyway, back to maths. Anyone want to help me? PRAY FOR ME :D!

From condoms to fruits
Dear Australian supermarkets,
Please stop overpricing your papayas outrageously. RM20 for a small, unripe little green ball is ridiculous. Also, please stock rambutans and mangosteens for reasonable prices. Also, I would like to request tasty mango, not those pathetic unripe abominations that sit under the white paper sign labelling them as "Mangos". Those are not mangos. Those are sins. Please purchase a ticket to Malaysia, and proceed to buy and taste the mangos there. Those are mangos. Those are divinity incarnated as a fruit.
Also, in case I lost you in my first sentence, what I call a 'papaya' is what you call 'pawpaws'. Don't ask me why I use a clearly superior title for these heavenly fruits. Rather, ask yourselves why you insist on using such a stupid name for such respectable fruits.
Thank you for your time. I hope you will take into consideration everything I've written and come to the conclusion that I am right and you are wrong. Good day.
Yours truly,
A very cranky, fruit-starved Malaysian.
