As usual, I'll boast about my mushrooms and word count at the start of the post.
The mushrooms are slowing down, at 10 as of today, but 10 days into NaNoWriMo, I have 17,000+ words! Woohoo! I can taste the 50k! I'm still writing the early part of the story, but I'm getting feedback that the plot is pretty good right now. Gosh, if it is good, wait till they read the ZOMGWTH plot twists I have in store later. xD I can't wait till I get there!
Now, moving on with life. First of all, we had our last Teen Quest Gathering of the year, and I've decided to return to the organizing committee by January 2010 after my months of well deserved break. I'm less bitchy and angry without having to worry about piano practices or all the political what nots I faced mid-year this year. *ahem ahem* Meanwhile, the Sunday Dhamma School Concert preparations are going on well, and will happen this Saturday. On top of that, I'll be watching my brother's choir perform tomorrow! Yay!
For school, I've only been going to school these few days because I'm involved in the Amazing Race organized for the form 3's, just like the one I had for my post-PMR activities last year. But then, last year's was just a lame treasure hunt which was just a bunch of station games. But with me organizing this year's event, I made it 100% ala Amazing Race, with envelopes of clues and Roadblocks, Detours, U-Turns and all!(they even hopped on the "mat" to check in at the finish line!) So, just to prepare this, I went to school on Monday and Tuesday, with today being the event. Anthea helped me take lots of pictures and videos, which I'm planning to compile them up and make it into an "episode" of Amazing Race. But then, I'm pretty lazy right now(having only written 300+ words for NaNoWriMo at the moment!), so maybe I'll do it next time.
Sadly, I had somehow lost my wallet today... For all SMK USJ 13-ers, if you spot a brown, bulky, Crocodile wallet, please return it to me!
On the bright side, I've done pretty well in my exams this time around! Not the best results, but definitely great for my standards, and for the first time with full format of my SPM path! Get a load of this!
Bahasa Malaysia - 71 - A2
English - 79 - A1
Modern Mathematics - 90 - A1
Additional Mathematics - 62 - B4
Biology - 75 - A1
Chemistry - 61 - B4
Physics - 71 -A2
Pendidikan Moral - 66 - B3
Sejarah - 51 - C6
English for Science and Technology - 94 - A1
Woohooooo!!! 6As3Bs1C! Does that mean I'll get 9As and a B for SPM? :3 Anyhow, I'm quite glad with this results, since I got quite some low marks in my last exam. But at least now, my marks are all about 60(with an exception of Sejarah, pfft). I'm especially happy with BM(one out of 4 in class with A), Biology(still maintaining As, when others can't), EST(EAT THAT YOHANN, top scores man!) and Physics. To top that up, I'm number 5 in class! Wew! So, yay! MOVE ME INTO 5 AMANAH, YOU HEAR?
So, I be skipping school the next two days to spend some time with NaNoWriMo and the computer. Whoopieeee. More updates to come.

I've been super productive these pass few days, as explained in the previous post. But I'm just gonna state it again. :D I have done
9 mushrooms in a week and
10,500 words in 6 days of NaNoWriMo! I'm owhsmness!
Mushroom Mushroom!
On a side note, due to the owhsm multiplying abilities of my mushroom, Badger Badger Badger Mushroom Mushroom Snake has been a fanatic among Fiametta-inkers. To find out more, go
watch this so you would not be left out!
As stated, I have written the blogpost for the Fiametta-ink sleepover, as Anthea bummed out of it.
Read about the Fiametta-ink sleepover: here!However, as certain happenings during the sleepover are just too owhsm, I have to show them here on my blog too.
Before
After!
ZOMG, DIVINE FAKE EYELASHES!!! It's just supaa owhsm! It makes me look so sparkleh, muahahaha. Obviously, this is just for cosplay, I'm not the type who would wear these sort of stuff on a daily basis. Still... :D
Okay, fine, I just wanted to show off the eye lashes! I'll throw in a picture of Anthea's adopted kitten, Oreo, too.
School has been all the same after exams. Boring, uneventful, etc. etc. Thank goodness for my cross stitch. So, we performed on Wednesday, Ian totally killing the girls in our school with his rapping and glare at the end of his fashion show catwalk. The was pretty much the only eventful thing of the week, other than Pn. Rachel requesting me, Sarah and Kuan Yee to help organize the Amazing Race for the form 3s.
But my marks, OMG. I'm sooooo glad with my marks! I got a high A1 for my EST!(94!!) I should be able to get an A1 for my Biology, again(I need to reconfirm folio marks with teacher, but it's a definite A). Chemistry's a C(could push to B), Modern Maths an A1, and the rest I conveniently forgot, or simply haven't gotten the results back yet. But no fails, woohoo! I'm holding onto my no fail streak maaaan.
Today, I went out for almost the whole day. Morning was Taekwondo, then I had my Hello! Project dance practice with Cherry and Amelia again(became more of a lepak session). I was supposed to have a concert practice at the temple, and a Leo Halloween thingy I wanted to represent my club to attend. I opted for the former, as I "ffk-ed" them last week. On top of all these, I had a primary school gathering at Sunway Pyramid, which I opted to skip for the concert practice, but then went anyway because the former got cancelled.
One thing I was skeptical about the gathering was that there would be too many groups wandering on their own. It happens 90% of the time, as it's Pyramid and people just don't get the definition of "gathering", not "hang-out". But this time was pretty okay, probably because of the number of people I reunited with, and the short amount of time given to them to ditch me, haha.
I saw Kang Shyan, Wooi Sheng, Chun Ye, Eu Mun, Kar Soon and Kuan Yee again. And after 4 years, saw Hsiang Xin, Pei Zhen, Hoe Yen, Chee Yee, Joo Yee... and many more! Whoooo~ Sweet memories. Although the guys were all so quiet and reluctant to talk, making it pretty awkward. All they would do is cross their arms, or put them in their pockets, then answer in a monotonous manner with the least words possible. Funny. We watched Jennifer's Body, which I thought was only selling because Megan Fox was apparently the main character, which is not quite the case. And the show was pretty... iono... weird... So pleaaaase, don't get disillusioned by Megan Fox being on the poster, kthxbai.
Overall, pretty fun day today. 8D Now, I shalt go back to typing my story.

The
lvl 999 procrastinator has been working hard since she finished her exams! As of today, I have
made 6 Mario mushroom cross stitches in 4 days and
wrote 1,751 words for day one of NaNoWriMo!!! Gosh! I feel so enthusiastic all of a sudden! My procrastination must've been passed on to Anthea, because she was hardly working during our Fiametta-ink meeting and she has yet to blog about our sleepover. *rolls eyes*
Just like last Friday, I wanted to blog on Saturday, but couldn't because I was still at Anthea's house for most of the day. Then I wanted to blog on Sunday, but I was out all day, and while I was at home I was rushing my NaNoWriMo. So here I am, blogging today before I wear my NaNoWriMo thinking hat!
At this rate, I won't have any time for games. :X
But meh! It's a good thing. I'm actually working, and I feel really proud about it.
I'd like to blog about the Fiametta-ink sleepover, but Anthea was supposed to do it, and I don't have my pictures with me here on this computer. Maybe I'll blog about it later on the Fiametta-ink blog after I finish today's NaNoWriMo quota...
But just to point up a few things of interest from our Fiametta-ink sleepover...:
Anthea's kitty, Orea ish sooooo adorable! Anthea picked her(well, we can't really tell... but there was nothing there, so we figured we'd call her her) up from the drain and adopted her till she's big enough to fend for herself. She's really tiny and fragile, I'll post up a video of her on Facebook, once I get on my laptop.
WE BOUGHT FAKE EYELASHES! *spazz spazz* It's so pwetty!
Melissa's first sleepover! Congrats darling!
Melissa sleeps like a spacewoman, says Anthea.
We should really do a sleepover again. :3
It's pretty boring at school now that exams are over. The teacher doesn't really teach much, heck, they don't even enter class! But for these 3 days, I'll be going to school to practice for choir's last performance(we already had 2 "last" performances) of the year at a 1 Malaysia jamuan. Obviously, we're singing a 1 Malaysia song. We're singing "Satu Suara", the one with the rapping and all. And I'm gonna be rapping Point Blank's part, in cantonese. :3 Hey, I'm a Cantokien(Cantonese-Hokkien) after all!It's pretty fun, but while I'm in class for the next few weeks, I'll be mass producing Mario Mushrooms. xD
On the other hand, class after exams are always about giving out results, and BOY, am I super proud and happy about today's results! I got pretty good marks for my Add Maths 1, an A1 for Mathematics aaaaaaaaaand... *drumrolls*
AN A2 FOR PHYSICS!!! ZOMG!!! It's liek one of my worst subjects, but I took a 20 mark leap from C to A! Woohoo!
I really am super happy and accomplished these few days. :D Let's hope the enthusiastic streak keeps rolling on!

WOOHOOOOOO~ I can't wait for
November!
1. Exams will be over!
2. Fiametta-ink will be active! (http://fiametta-ink.blogspot.com/2009/10/today.html)
3. Holidays!
4. More game time!
5. Tan Academy Courses!
6. Cross-stitch time!
7. ZOMG WTH IT'S NOVEMBER IT'S NANOWRIMO!
Now... what the heck is
NaNoWriMo? Read more about it at my writing blog,
Pen, Paper & Sugar(yes, I actually have one). It's actually the reason why I created my writing blog in the first place, and that's why the layout was of a Heartless, because I was writing a Kingdom Hearts fan fiction for
NaNoWriMo last year. xP I'm not gonna elaborate much, but I'm just gonna say...
YES, I SHALL WRITE THAT 50,000 WORDS! JUST YOU WAAAAIT!!!
I really really really hope I'll achieve the target this time around! After all, the Ragnarok Online story(named the Eminent Guardians) I'm planning to writerewrite for NaNoWriMo has been a brainchild of mine since primary school. It's just that as I progressed on it, I keep going back and rewriting it. xD In the end, I didn't make much progress, despite the many angsty scenes I've already planned ahead for the characters. SO THIS TIME, I shall progress and get to my goal. 8D
I'm so excited over it! I spent liek 2 hours on my bed yesterday just drawing out the timeline of the story. I threw extra spices into my character
(DIE EDEL, DIEEE) and you can take my word for it, it's ALOT of spices compared to the old version of the story(which you can find lurking at
my deviantART).
So please please pleaaaase! I appreciate all comments, critiques and support for this project. I really want to reach the finish line this year, and I really want to see the Eminent Guardians make progress too. Poor Amelia, she's been bugging me for an update since two years ago.
TIS FOR YOUUUUUU~
Yeah, I'm mostly excited because of that. But also because Comic Fiesta is approaching! Therefore all the preparations for Fiametta-ink, and I really need to start making some cross stitches if I plan to make a proper debut this year. My cross stitches was supposed to make Fiametta-ink unique(chewaaah) for last year's sales since you don't see much of it, but in the end I was selling off my old work...
And wheee! Ace Attorney cosplay! I can't wait to see it happen! :3 And then, there's also our plan to conquer the Group Cosplay competition! Muahahaha... I sincerely love the series and wanna promote it. xD It's a good chance to do so!
Just as a side note, I'm doing a Fruits Basket and Chrono Cross cosplay in 2010. :D Whoopie!
Oh yeah... I'm a middle of my final term examinations, aren't I. 8D This week's papers were pretty tough. With Add Maths, and Physics, and all the other Science stuff. And most of all, History. OwhAmGee, thank goodness I could answer the questions. I just hope I do better than the last exams.
Next week is slacking week! Multiple-choice questions? Modern Maths? Civics? PJK? Pah! xD The only thing I'd worry about is Add Maths 2 and Sejarah 1.
Whoooooopieeee!!! I can't wait!

It's the looong Deepavali weekend! So, what's Suzanne up to, other than lvl999 procrastinator-quality last minute studying?
1. Getting Rayhan back in Ragnarok Online.
2. Getting banned from the computer until the end of the month.
3. Getting dance practices! WOOHOO!!!
Fun fun fun! Today, I was going to meet up with a few C
omic Fiesta friends to practice on a few dances we were going to perform at Comic Fiesta this December. There was two groups, the H!P dance and the Korean dance groups. I was just dancing the more simple, cutesy H!P dances by Buono! and Guardians 4. I'm not really that big a fan of pop music. But I love dancing! And I love Amelia, and she asked, so I said yes. xD
So I got over to Cherry's house(who conveniently lived opposite my school, and was my senior!), got her to drive me to the studio, along with some other of her friends who I met for the first time today. They started out with Sorry Sorry by SuJu, and I just watched, as I decided I'm not gonna stress myself out during Comic Fiesta(with cosplay
ing and boothcaring already!), and I'm not gonna screw up a cool dance with my not-so-smooth steps. I only practiced Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! b Buono! before this, but then we decided on Rottara and School Days, the former being ABSOLUTELY LOTTA LOVE! Amelia came and I glomped her and she taught me how to dance Rottara. And now the song and dance is stucked to my head. It's honestly so cute!
It makes me feel giggly and happy. :D And now to master it! Then to learn School Days. I cant't wait for Comic Fiesta! Aaaaaaah!!!
And after this, we fetched Cherry's friend, Sam off to a PS3 tournament. It's going on for a few weeks, and today is the Street Fighter 4 tournament. I didn't stay to watch, as I was off to the temple. But why I talked about this was because the same PS3 tournament had a Puzzle Fighter tournament last week. ZAMAGAWD.
This is liek my childhood game! I played this in pre-school on the first computer my family ever had. And I went on to buy the PS version(which was exactly the same) because of the nostalgia. GOSH! It ish luv! If I went for the tournament last week, I had a fat chance of winning, especially since Sam said most of them were pretty bad at it. xD But gosh! A Puzzle Fighter competition! That's good enough, considering most people around me wouldn't play this with me. Sniff. At least the AI never fails me.
So, I went to the temple to lead the Sunday School kids to the "We're All in This Together" dance again. They're getting better in it, thankfully. =] But one thing I felt was that this bunch of kids were being overused, and so am I, lawl. I was only supposed to be there to choreograph their dance steps. I then was asked to actually dance with them, and then to act the scene about the Teen Quest Gathering, and then to sing You Raise Me Up. Whuuuut. Oh well. I'm just too kind. :X
So, that's today. :D Haven't been going out much lately, not even the temple, so this was a breath of fresh air! Alrighty, Physics and Add Maths on Tuesday! Time to daaaaaai. Toodles!

Soooo, PMR ended today. Great for the form 3s, but its not a celebration for us(sadly).
End Year Exaaaaaaaams!!! We have already entered our second day today, Chemistry yesterday, Biology today. The next two days would be language.

Yeah man. I'm sleep deprived.
Exams aren't too bad so far. It's pretty hard to fail, seeing that you need to lose 120 marks out of 200 marks. But of course, that's not an excuse. I think I should be able to score. :D
Ugh, 11 days to go. I'll only be done on the 30th of October. Soooooo, wish me luck! Meanwhile, I wanted to blog about something, but I can't remember what I wanted to blog about, and I can't think of any other materials, so I shall stop here I guess. 8D

Wow! I procrastinated blogging again! First post in October, and I'd like to just say...
GOOD LUCK IN PMR GUYS!!!
Just relax, chill, don't stress out. PMR is not that tough, and I know all of you can do it. Even if it's not important, do your best! It's the most important short term goal ahead of you. It's not too late to start studying! Just read lightly, don't drill your heads too much, and you'll do fine. Sleep after you're done with your paper, regardless of what your teacher might tell you. o__o
(then again, 9 out of 10 of them are studying right now and wouldn't come to my blog)
I'm rooting for you guys! All the best!

My workplace for the week at the Tan AcademyI now have a new found respect for tailors. It doesn't take long to tailor something... after going through so many agonizing years of experience. o___o I'm in day 4 of my
Tan Academy's Tailoring Course, and it's pretty painful. ^^" The past few days, I keep having problems keeping the line straight and maintaining a firm hand. Yesterday, I was working on pajama pants. Finally, I was sewing one on my own, with only my teacher guiding me to make sure it's not wrong. When we were about to proceed to the last part of the sewing, she dropped the bomb.
We have been sewing the pants bottom side up, waist side bottom.ZOMGWTHSTFUBBQ!!!So, we had to take apart the whole thing at midnight. What I worked hours on, was taken apart in 30 minutes, and was rebuilt by my aunt in 15 minutes. o__o
My heart cried as she took it apart D:
Honestly! She works sooooo quickly, it makes me look so newb. But then again, she has been doing this for decades. I wish I could be at her level of tailoring, provided I get more experience and have a sewing machine of my own at home. Although cross stitching takes a longer time to complete, everyone can do it and it's really simple! Tailoring however, needs soooo much experience and understanding of the subject. D:
*dies*
At least, today, day 4, I have completed my own pajama pants while my aunt was out dyeing her hair. :D Finally, success!!!
Tadah! And in the background, my guilty pleasure
It's simple, but it means alot to me. @_@ And now, I'm working on the second part, and it gets pretty frustrating at times... Oh well, wish me luck. Tomorrow is my last day for this course, as I'm going home on Sunday.
On a happier happier note, I had more time to watch my anime. And as of this morning, I HAVE FINISHED
CODE GEASS!!! Zomg, it definitely deserved its title of best anime of the year. It's soooo twisted, and the character developement is good! It's like Death Note, being behind the mask with some super power and all, but with mecha, more character relationships, more twists, and a hawt hawt Lelouch.
ALL HAIL LELOUCH!I cried many times. And cried tons on the last episode. I'm a sensitive girl who shows her sadness, so sue meh.
Now, I shall watch Avatar. 8D *disappears*

Alright, we all know I procrastinate tons. :D
Just a mini list on what happened since the last post till now, as I guess I won't be doing full reports on whatever I did before this, which I said I would report about. Events are in no particular order.
- My eldest brother graduated from Monash! On stage, after he got his degree, he turned to the audience and yelled "I'VE GOT THE POWER!". Seriously. :D And I made a cute lil' graduation bear for him.- Mum's birthday!- I was asked to teach Sunday School kids to dance for their end year concert. It's to "We're All in This Together". I got so enthusiastic, but response from the kids are a big, blank stare. D:- Exams are on October 9, LEGASP.- Leo Installation! I hope I didn't screw up.- Ragnarok Online and Facebook addict, yay!- I got my Black Belt in Taekwondo! PHEAR ME!- I passed my grade 8 piano! MIRACLES DO HAPPEN!- I've been reading Manga liek crazy. Finished Fruits Basket, catching Naruto, Bleach and Vampire Knight, reading Rave!- LELOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH!
And for my Hari Raya holidays, I'm back in Malacca, alone now. I'm here to enroll in the Tan Academy Tailoring Course! 8D It's a crash course of 5 days though, teehee. It's my 3rd day today, and I'm working on pajama pants. My first project was a dress for my niece, which I've only contributed 5% as I was doing more mistakes than I was helping. 8D
Rou Ya and her new dress!
This week was actually quite a progressive week, visiting my relatives alot, playing less RO, and watching whole loads of CODE GEAAAAASS!!! I was urged to watch it after coming back from GACC(read previous post). I'm so surprised no one told me about its owhsmness before this. Well, no help from the ebil mushroom who failed to tell me anything about it. *stares* But honestly,
Code Geass is EPICSAUCE. The plot twists are crazy! Watching Lelouch - who is oh so hawt - doing his evil scheming and at his weakest moments just makes me bite my fingernails. By the time I finish it, I think I'm gonna bite off my
whole finger. xD
From today on, I'll try my best to actually blog more often. o___o And stop blogging liek, 3 months after something happen. xD
Poke meh to blog? 8D
Quote of the Day: Long time ago, Nunally, Suzaku, and I talked about something. We wondered what happiness would look like if we could give it a physical form. If I'm not mistaken, I think it was Suzaku that said that the shape of happiness might resemble glass. His reasoning made sense. He said that even though you don't usually notice it, its still definitely there. You merely have to change your point of view slightly, and then that glass will sparkle when it reflects the light. I doubt that anything else could argue its own existence more eloquently. -
