Of best friends' nieces

Happy Birthday to Kate/Kimberly/Kiera/Kimantha who was born on the 16th of June 2009! Her name is undecided as far as I know. I just know it's gonna start with a k. Congrats to Evelyn on getting a new niece. Congrats to Evelyn's big sis and brother-in-law on the new addi(c)tion in the family. And a warning to Kate/Kimberly/Kiera/Kimantha; you will now be subject to Evelyn picking you up and looking at you with eyes as big as saucers and speaking her own alien language to you. It goes like, " Ohm-pa. Ohm-pa. Ohm-pa." I don't know which one is cuter, the baby or her. Then again, by the time you read this, if you ever read this, it might already be too late.

Of proof that my little brother takes after me

Calintz: Jun, am I cute?
Jun: Mmm (In an, "I don't know," way)
Calintz: Are you cute?
Jun: Yeah?

Yes, it's official. My little brother is as cocky and arrogant as I am. -sniff, sniff- I'm so proud.

Of holiday plans, busy weeks and birthdays

Ah, holidays are here. It's been so long since I've been typing on the keyboard, I feel like my finger joints are being born all over again. Haha. Anyway, my holiday plans are to study and play piano till I drop. ^_^ Or something along those lines. Of course, I'll be using the pc a bit more lately. Nya, there's almost nothing to post about. Ah yes, this past week, I have been participating in a PRS (Pembimbing Rakan Sebaya - Peer Group Helper) Course and a Leadership workshop. It was really fun. Okay, so the course was pretty much made up of lectures, but I learned stuff. Like, the correct posture that a couselor should execute during a counseling session. I learned about body language and how self-esteem helps with the results of an acquired task. I hope I'm making sense. The workshop was filled with activities from Tech challenges to Energiser games. From Water-Rocket to Amoeba race (A sort of activity whereby a group except the leader is blindfolded and the leader has to direct the group to complete a puzzle), this workshops really taught me about leadership. Of course, I wasn't agroup leader this time. No, my group leader is Tiah Teck Hean @ Tiah Wei Hean. By my personal point of view, he deserved the Best Leader award, but then again, what group member won't think their leader is better than the other leaders? Plus I never really got to know how the other leaders carried out their duties. Anyway, overall, it was a fun week. Tiring, but fun.

Yesterday was my father's birthday. After spending coming back from OGDC yesterday evening (This is where the Leadership workshop ended), I had to go home, shower and go out and celebrate it. I'm not complaining, rather, I could hardly stay awake. -sigh- Ah well, such is the life of me. ^_^ Will try to post more next time!

Of birthdays, overprotective fiances, netball teams and...... the 1OOTH POST!

The time has come. Yes, my dear readers. This, is, -drum roll- ONE GIRL ONE LIFE'S 1OOTH POST! After 3 years, we have reached the ever awaited for, 100TH POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would like to apologize for the delay between posts. School has been hectic lately. We just finished the exams for the Form 4 students. I'm really worried about my marks. -sigh- In my school, physical education classes are held with 3 different classes at the same time. My P.E. class has been divided into 6 groups and will be competing against each other in......NETBALL! (A very popular sport in my school. At least, among the girls.)

My team name is Phoenix and guess who became manager. -smirk- Yup, the authoress! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-takes a DEEP breath- HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Of course, the manager takes up loads of work besides bossing people around. Technically, managers aren't supposed to boss people around. Heck, the managers work the most. -sigh-

Check out the team logo! Thanks to the boys in the group, Adi, Aminul, Muhammad and Tan, along with Natasha and Fatin who helped out with the original design of the logo. Photoshopping of logo was done by me. Final decision of logo choices were done by Tan. (I made like 6 different backgrounds for the logo.)

This is the front bib of our team bib. (This is a maybe since, we might not be allowed to have this done. There's also the problem of the budget.) Thanks to the boys of the group and Natasha for original design of the bib. Photoshopping was done by me. This is the back of the bib.
A very late Happy Mother's Day! to all mothers! That night, we had dinner with my cousins in Brunei on my mother's side. We had cake!
2 Nights ago, my aunt and my cousin celebrated their birthdays. More cake!Mother and daughter posing behind cake! Family picture! I think it's time to introduce a soon to be VERY happy couple. Peng and her fiance, Ah Hong ko-ko! (This is what I call them, deal with it.) Aren't they cute? During the party, we had this conversation

Peng: You know, I had this uncle, and when I was young, he used to pick me up and kiss me all over the face. See, he's sitting right over there! -points at uncle at nearby table-
Ah Hong ko-ko: I'll beat him up.
Peng: It was when I was young!
Calintz: Peng are you trying to make him jealous?
Peng: No!
Ah Hong ko-ko: Let's go beat him up!

They served beer at the party. As you can see in the above picture, everyone sits in groups at tables. I shared a table with my brother and a bunch of men. This waitor came by and poured beer for everyone except me.

Calintz: -when the waitor has walked away- Ko, do I look THAT underage?
Ko-ko: -laughs-

After that, a waitress came and offered me a drink.

Waitress: Little girl, what would you like to drink?
Calintz: Huh?! (More at the little girl part than the surprise at her showing up)
Waitress: We have Coca-cola, Pepsi, Miranda, 7-up, chinese tea and 100 Plus.
Calintz: Chinese tea.
Ko-ko: Me too. (My brother doesn't drink. At least, he drinks when his sister drinks.)
Guy at table: -gestures for tea too-

When the waitress walked away.

Calintz: Ko....
Ko-ko: Hmm?
Calintz: She called me little girl!
Ko-ko: -laughs-

When we joined in with Peng and Ah Hong ko-ko and told them about what happened.

Peng: So what did you want her to call you? Auntie?
Calintz: No, I would have been content with pretty lady. -smirk-

Now that I think about it, I wonder how my aunt felt when she gave birth to my cousin. Possibly, it went like this.

Everyone at party: Happy Birthday to You! Happy Birthday to You! Happy....OMG QUICK CALL AN AMBULANCE, HER WATER JUST BROKE!
Aunt: Damn, wasted cake.

My aunt and cousin aren't the only 2 relatives of mine who share a birthday. Loyal readers might remember that my brother and grandpa share the same birthday. My siblings and I were born in Malaysia. So maybe, 19 years ago, when my mom gave birth to my bro, this happened.

Everyone at party: Happy Birthday to You! Happy Birthday to You! Happy Birthday to Grandpa! Happy Birthday to You!
Grandpa: Thank you, thank you.
Random dude(tte) at party: Hey, where's one of your sons?
Grandpa: He's at Malaysia. Apparently, his wife is about to give birth to her firstborn soon. He said he would call today though.
-phone rings-
Grandpa: Ah, that must be him. -Picks up phone- Hello?
Dad: Hello, Dad?
Grandpa: Yeah?
Dad: Happy Birthday. I got you a grandson.

With this post, I would like to celebrate the gift of life, love and happiness! Thank you to all faithful readers who have stuck with this blog since post number 1. One Girl One Life will continue to provide posts about the authoress and her life in the future. You have helped make this blog what it is by reading it. Thank you! ^_^

Wait, that's so cliche. I know. -clears throat-

Thanks for reading guys. -smirk-

That's more like it.

Of cool choreography

I was watching MTV (very rare occasion) today and I saw something that amazed me.


Rescue - KAT-TUN Officially one of the best choreography I have ever seen. Along with this.


Perfume - Polyrhythm Another piece with awesome choreography. My respect.

Of getting picked up by my brother

Ever since my brother got his driver's license, he's been fetching me to-and-fro everywhere. Today, he got himself locked out of the house, so he hung out at my dad's workshop. I had a meeting to attend so I left school quite late. My brother was sent to fetch me. On he way out of the school compound, we had this conversation. Time: Around 4.40

Ko-Ko: Let's go eat. What time does your swimming start?
Calintz: 5.00, there should be time to eat.
Ko-Ko: There's always time to eat in your schedule.
Calintz: What's that supposed to mean?! Your sister does not have a bottomless pit for a stomach.
Ko-Ko: Yeah, but it's something similar to that isn't it?
Calintz: .....No.....
Calintz's mind: But then again.....
Calintz: .....No.....
Calintz's mind: Yet technically.....
Calintz: ......No.......It's not that similar......

Apparently, even though we ate and went to the gas station to fill up the tyres with air, I wasn't late-beyond-all-reason like I expected to be.

Of conversations in class and maid outfits.

Why Sir Chok seems to not like the color white.

Sir Chok: All right class, if you would look at this example here, opps! -drops Calintz's eraser, picks it up- you can see that it's not balanced, opps! -drops Calintz's eraser, picks it up-

After the example

Calintz: Fatin-chan, I think Sir has a thing against white.
Fatin: Why?
Calintz: He keeps dropping my eraser and mine is white.
Fatin: Ahha!

Sir never seems to wear white at all. It's either blue or black. His class has a rather dark setting too. The one day he came in wearing white, it was a moment in history which shall always be rememebered for as long as this blog continues.......I think.....

Why English Literature is filled with puns.

Sir Allen: So you can see here that in this poem, Time is trying to tell us about himself (etc. I can't remember, it's a damn deep explanation)
Fatin: Hmm, must have a lot of time in his hands.
Sir Allen: Cheeky puns will not get you anywhere in life.

We were doing Time by Allen Curnow (no, the poem was not written by my literature teacher. I've had enough of puns)

Alright guys, do you remember that maid outfit my brother and I wore? My school will be having a carnival soon and they will be allowing cosplay and so I need your help to find out any anime character who wears the exact same costume as that maid outfit. Big thanks yous to the person who finds out.

P.S. Why Calintz' friends care too much about her love life.
Calintz: Should I have lunch with him later?
Natasha, Najeebah, Sya-chan, Jane-chan: YES!
