Mood swings

Pressure’s causing one to be stress.

I hate it – when someone reminds me that I need to use my trials result to apply for college. ( it’s good actually. only that the pressure’s driving me to holland )

I hate it – when I can’t do anything other than studying.

I hate it – when I cant remember things I studied.

Trials, trials, trials. Spm, spm, spm.

Needa go now. Time for history again.

Exams’ no good, no good, no good. 😦

LeeHom’s Showcase

Leehom’s performing. ❤

❤ Leehom.

*runs* and *wave* Bye. ='(

And, Leehom’s autograph. Ahhh ❤

His showcase was really good and awesome. Despite the fact that the participants who won the contest have to wait for 172901 hours to get in to the Vip/Media zone to get his autograph.

&Something embarrassing happened yesterday. Leehom looked up and Smiled, with a big grin, then Signed quickly. After finish signing, he nodded his head and smiled again *Means that i was supposed to leave the stage already-lah). but i was still standing there, didn’t move and still looking at him like some crazy person, -.-‘

He sang Ni Bu Zhi Dao De Shi yesterday, very nice.

“Wei Shen Me Hu Die Hui Zha Yan Jing?”
“Na Shi Ge Bi Ni Shou Fa.”

awww.

And, he even asked whether he can leave to the washroom for a while or not. Every one screamed, of course. hahah, he’s super cute. first time seeing Artist asked to leave for a while while the autograph session’s still running. He’s back after 20 minutes (considered really fast already k. fyi he went to the hotel’s washroom, and drive all the way back to oneutama again.)

cant wait to see him again. Now I feel like furthering my studies in Taiwan. :S
’cause of Leehom.

btw, something really disgusting happened yesterday. i believe in karma. stupidfella.

I better leave now. time for sejarah. :’S

Time is Swift.

Woke up at four in the morning and went to sleep again, until eight am. Skipped school today, apparently. I started flipping through my Chem’s reference book after bathing my dog. So many things to cram in to my brain. :\

Trials’ in two weeks plus time. I need to sign off now.
Goodbye and have a nice day.

& not forgetting, Happy Puasa to all the muslims!
