rowell

heya guys! finally im able to write another entry. ive been dying to flood my blog with what telah happened these past weeks!!
so here goes: the trip to kl was a blast!! i dreaded the trip for the first few days cuz it was super boring. first day of arrival, we ate slumber breakfast. some soggy stuffs. then, took a 30mins ride to Batu Dam where the race's gonna take place. the dam was damn nice. (yah...haha.) at least nicer view than the factories in pandan reservoir. anyways, yea. all i did for the first day was sit under the super duper hot merciless sun and did a little bit of riggings to my boat here and there. i think we went down to the water for a while to test the boat. uhh, the water was super scary, i tell u. something ive nvr experienced back in spore. so we found out that the boat was unsuitable for me and my partner, shuying. so forget the painstaking riggings and all, we had to choose another boat that could support our weight. oh what the heck. i dont think u're all bothered with all these, yah?
okok. i'll move on to the exciting partS of my wonderful trip. 1stly, there were a handful of seriously tall dark and handsome guys. i mean it. and they come from philippines, indo and msia. i dont know abt spore's rowers. haha. but it was lyk, "WHOA~" *boy crazy mood activated* i hardly know them on the first day but as days passed by, they slowly get to know me, and i got to know them and yeah~ they're a bunch of super cute, super friendly, super tall, dark and handsome lads. national rowers ley. dont play play. anyways, when they smile, ooh, u'll just go week in the knees! ok, aisyah. stop it. =P
rowell tolentino- thats his name. yea. the 190cm, 21 yr old hotie from philippines. when i thot adeel was super tall, standing next to rowell was lyk super WHOA! i took pictures with him twice and yea, i dont mind u showing it to u all but i haf no idea how to post pictures in my entry. haha. so, yep, we exchanged numbers, he gave me one of his nike wristbands. u noe the "in-thing" now. he had 3 of them all
blue. so wall-faced me asked if i could haf one. he was sweet enough to hand me one.
the SEA rowing federation had a dinner cum karaoke on one of the last few days of our stay. that was the first time the other filipino guy asked for my name. mark, yea. i heard he's a little cheeky. haha. but he was kinda cute. well, everyone was cute so yah. haha.
the rest of the story, is my darkest secret.
and syahir came up with a super lame joke of the week: aisyah's darkest secret...
her skin.
where was i? uhh yes. chinatown. the haven of cheap imitaion goods. i dint know i was a shopaholic until i stepped into chinatown. and yea, i learnt the art of bargaining as well. i also went to berjaya times square. bought pirated dvds. went to the indoor theme park. oh, we walked to BTS with the filippinos but they dint follow us to the theme park. i got the chance to walk with rowell for a few minutes. haha. suker ahh tuu. *blush* ummm, yea, raihan awarded me the loudest and most irritating screamer for the day. cannot tahan lahh, the rides were super scary. what luck those filipinos werent there. haha. after about 4 thrill rides, my head felt like spinning off my neck. blardy headache.
after that, i went for a little shopping for girls' clothes. guess what? i went clubbing for the first time! it wasnt really nice. the club was dark, smoky, loud, noisy, havoc, wild. WHOA. i was so lost in that sinful place. i couldnt dance. so, it was SO not a place for me. no more. aisyah will always stay innocent. promise.
ummm, the worst moment of the trip was saying goodbye to the filipino guys. haha. part and parcel of life yea.
well, in case u dint see my name in the papers, (hehe) we came in 3rd for our double sculls event. we almost capsized twice. bcuz the water was blardy fierce. haha. wah, i miss last week already. haha.
got back to school with "lost" written all over my face. one week has passed but i still haf not yet blended in into the surroundings. acjc is an english school. no doubt abt that. ive never felt so mute during netball trainings. its lyk the scgs, chij, mgs and rgs girls makes up about 99% of the team. that leaves only me. from bp. uhhh, life's tough but ive gotta do what i wanna do. yea.
so far, not so good, but what to do, i must try to fit in or i'll regret my 3mths. well, i look forward to the cny celebration when the malay cultural society gets to perform dikir barat. and yea, this means that all the malay acjcian gets together. yey.
today, i just ended another rowing competition. won 2 silver. had my first singles race. and the water had to be mean to me. anyways, philippines wasnt invited so haha. nothing much lah.
missing all the people and things i miss,
Aisyah *=)

acjc.orientation.05

...i wanna say something.
...acjc rocks.
well, for the first week of orientation lah. we havent had any lectures yet. no ccas yet. no traininigs, no competitions, no tests, no exams...yet. but so far, its better, much much better than i had expected. i actually had fun, made a number of friends and surprisingly, ended up in one of the top arts class just because my L1R5 is lower than 10.
so my class is in a cabin. again. yes. but its called the North Lodge like some kind of a hotel or something. oh it doesnt look like one, trust me. my teacher is this irani lady called mrs dolly. she's kinda funny. and nice. my class has 20 ppl, 18 girls and 2 damn lucky guys. im the only malay girl. well, expected lahh. oh btw, jc1s in ac this year has only 20 malay ppl out of the 900+. yea. and im even taller than the malay boys. how sad. very sad.
the seniors came to our class, then we went to theirs. we got a small get-to-know session which was pretty fun, btw. and one of my senior is this small guy, about half a head shorter than me, dark and super cute. ask xinjie or sam, they'll go, "oh u mean raj? *squeals*" yea. Raj. esp when he pulls his pants high up when he's acting as the Bubble of Olendros. makes u wanna hug him like a really cute soft toy. so, we played angel and mortal and yea, that was it. dont know if i can survive in arts class. dont know why the hell i chose arts. oh shit.
on friday, we were sorted into houses. mine was Shaw House. yea. its the guy who founded the Shaw Movie thingy. hahaha. so, our cheer goes something like this,
"Watch movie! Shaw House! (x3)
Go Lido!!!"
("-_-) i know.
and the cheerleading captain is Darroch Chua from acsi whom later i found out that he was my primary school classmate. oh my god. i cant believe he used to be this really skinny and pale guy with think white plastic-rimmed glasses. now, he's kinda cute.
we had OG time in the afternoon for about 4 hours. so we travelled to bugis and ate lunch at a prata shop. oh, u expected something more expensive bcuz most of my group memebers are filthy rich aye? that was only lunch mind u. and the service at the prate shop was pretty bad so we were there for about an hour or so. then, we headed to the billard centre. its like only my second time playing pool so i was pretty bad. no, damn bad, actually. the acs guys were really good. one of them thought me how to aim and stuffs. and i had a little chat with this super duper uber cute chinese high guy. oh, he's not only super duper uber cute, he's a GEP student and a softball player. he goes clubbing, drinks but doesnt smoke. he said that smoking kills faster den drinking. ok~ and he was my dance partner, tho he cant dance really well. i asked him how he picked girls in the clubs, he replied, "i get drunk and yeah.." i think im the most innocent person in acjc. i think bp ppl are pretty innocent. nono, seriously innocent. i'll show u his picts once i get them from my OGL. i feel lucky. we danced like 6 times, but still could not get the steps right. oh darn. who cares. my dance partner is the cutest chinese high guy ive ever seen.
ok, so we planned to eat at swensons for dinner. told ya prata was lunch only. but the boys were kinda engrossed in showing off their pool skills so we skipped dinner and i was blardy hungry for the whole night. and the nxt morning, i lost 2kg. seriously.
we returned to school for campfire. ohhh...the atmosphere was hectic sia! everyone was excited. i was only looking forward to the mass dance, honestly. well, everything was ok. except that some performances were super duper lame and crappy, not as in haha lame but, ("-_-) lame. there weren't many games lah, thats the down turn, i guess.
so mass dance was WHOA~ not only bcuz my partner's super cute. haha. they played the Boogie and Superstar song over and over and over again and i dint even felt a tinge of boredom. i was feeling super high. i danced as if the world's gonna end. and towards the final dance, when my super cute partner has already tired out, i grabbed his arm and told him to keep on dancing. muahaha. he's super sporting. and there's the "come baby" song which i LOVE and he HAD to sing it to me, "come aisyah come aisyah aisyah come come." hahahaha. ok, stop it.
*screams*
i miss the mass dance!!!!
*sniff*
we left the school gate about 11.15pm. then, thats when this super cute acsi rugger talked to me!!!! what do u think of, "hey, ure malay eh? whats ur name??" xinjie and arthur overheard him asking me and they thot it was the lamest pick up line they've ever heard but i thot it was super cute, just like the person!!! haha. *drool* and the rest of the story is left unfold. why should i tell u? muahahaha.
yesterday, went back to bp for the sec1 campfire. yea. another one. no wonder im having super conspicuous eyebags. met the ppl i miss aLOT! almost everyone was boasting about their jcs. we, the seniors, had successfully made some ppl hate us even more. and i have to admit that our batch is the last of the enthu ppl. too bad sec1s, u have 3 years and 11 months to go.
enjoy.
and yea. super fun week, i tell u. next week, im leaving for kl. wish me luck, guys. im gonna make spore proud. haha. like real. its the SEA C'ships and i havent had any serious trainings at all. im gonna miss ya. and acjc too.
super tall, superMe,

first day of school.

yep. first day of school in ACJC.
excited?
not really, actually.
woke up late.
bad hair day.
blardy conspicuous eyebags had to appear.
sunburn on my forehead.
ergh. ergh. ergh.
they had assembly in the air-conditioned hall. with chairs. i know, swakoo! well, there was the principal's talk. she ended her speech with a prayer. so i felt awfully lost for a few minutes. gotta get used to it. the school is SO christian. after the prayers, me and sam exchanged that look.
so, there was the subject combi talk which i found rather useless being held NOW. the funniest had to be the discipline talk. oh no it wasnt literally funny as in haha funny but u see, ac is choke full of girls with super short skirts and boys with pants so low u could almost peep on their boxers. and the discipline mistress went, "for girls, skirts should be knee-length, 2cm or less above knee and boys, no baggy or loose pants. and white shoes with colour markings, for footwear." i went, "ok~" the girls must haf mistaken the 2cm for 2 hands spacing. and i dint know a black shoe with white markings could be considered white shoes with colour markings.
*scratch. scratch.*
the councillors took over after that. they are seriously a bunch of enthu and wacky crazy loud ppl. somewhat like me when im normal but just now, i was a little shy lah.
and yea. ACJC is a haven of super cute guys and chio bus as well. its like in every nook and cranny of the school u turn to, there'll be a cute, hot, gorgeous guy. but the bad thing is, next to every super cute guy u see, there'll always be a super chio bu. life is unfair. lets face it. haha.
oh and i must say that the more handsome u are, the more unfriendly u'll be. true? maybe its just the first day. i hope the students are nicer tomorrow or the day after tomorrow or soon.
and i must also say that almost everyone there talks like arvind and matthew. with an even thicker accent that makes u feel blardy inferior. i dont give a damn. i dont intent to change the way i speak juz bcuz they speak like that. actually i do. but oh *slap* be yourself. be proud of yourself.
we're divided into groups or so called clans with super weird names. oh, there's supposed to be a story to the names of the clans but the sound system during the video was so bad all i could hear was, "crack crack". anyway, i wont bore you with the names and all.
so, we played games. got wet, dirty, muddy, dizzy and the worst was sticky. they used detergent, soap, grass and starch. i had to lie on my stomach then on my back on the super disgusting mat with super thick coat of not only starch but sweat and footsteps.
ergh. eugh. wuek.
but hey, it was all for the name of fun.
i have to sleep now. tell u more about my group members and other people some other time.
drool oogle swoon gaga,
whoa,
Aisyah. *=)
