If anyone loves Ong Cheng Ken,

And wants to see him alive,

And survive the laceration I am about to bestow on him,

You had better tell him to call me back.

NOW.

I Just Wanna Have Fun

I Just Wanna Have Fun

As dictated by Faranza Syns

Yesterday was...

Disappointing.

Fun?

Let's settle for entertaining.



____________________________________


Yesterday was the EdBoard interview.

Let's hear the rave reviews on how my interview for the BM Dept was, shall we?

"Wah, Farhana's interview was so tough la!" - Billy TanKY.

"OMG, this is tough la." - Julia.

"Shouldn't you lower your standards, Farhana?" -Ka Mun


No. I want the best, Ka Mun. ;p

Cheng Ken came to play around. He came to my table and said "I wanna try your interview."

Me: Okay.
Ken: *Sits down*
Me: Okay, perkenalkan diri anda.
Ken: Saya Ong Cheng Ken dari kelas 3 Amanah
Me: . . . *waiting for more. stares*
Ken: *STARES BACK*
Me: *Gives the OoooKay look*. Bagaimakah prestasi anda dalam subjek BM?
Ken: Just give me the hardest question la.
Me: Sweat la, Ken. =_=''

So, I took out a slip of paper and slid it across the table towards Ken.

Me: Baiklah, baca situasi yang diberikan.
Ken: *reads*
Me: Berikan saya satu tajuk atau ayat yang memberikan impak buat situasi yang diberikan.
Ken: . . . Wah, this is tough lah.
Me: . . .
Ken: . . . Wait, wait, I'm thinking.
Me: *smug* Don't worry, take your time. *laughs inwardly*


He took more than 10 minutes. I think he was thinking of it for a long, long time. Even after the mock-up interview was done.

Lol, Ken. I guess that shows that you can never think like me. Nyeekkkk =p

Throughout the interviews, I maintained the I'm-very-polite-cum-You're-not-that-special look. Yes, it's cruel. But I was trying to dig deep for the values I want in a potential BM Dept member. For those who I drilled on the spot with spontaneous questions, know this: I was drilling--digging--because I know there's something inside to be found.

And since you were too nervous at the time to dig it out of yourself, forgive me for doing the digging, albeit a bit too roughly. It didn't actually leave you guys crippled, did it? =P Don't worry. It's worth it, I promise you.

=_=''... Seriously, when I looked over at the editor's table, and saw Erin playing with the Rubik's Cube and laughing while interviewing people, I felt like I was the only one who was being a tad too tough on the people auditioning for my department. (Auditioning... I don't think that's the right word, but nevermind.)

But then, I saw Laine. My, my... I think I pale in comparison. =_=''....

Julia's interview was like: "*Smile* Oh, hello." and "*Smile* Thank you!"

=_=''... I felt like a mean monster with clumsy feet.

And Cheng Ken still couldn't figure out an answer for my question. Kudos for me! XD

I think Afzan breezed through the mock-up interview with me because it was just that: a mock-up. I was laughing the whole time. And so, I guess she wasn't as tensed.

Don't worry about the other interviews, Afzan. ^_~ You scored with mine. ;p

It's kinda sad, the turn-out this year. Like Laine said, the form 3's this year seem so dead. They don't seem to want to be involved in something as prestigious as the Editorial Board. Tsk.

By the way, Dharr, if your bones hurt, I'll make it feel all better. *wink wink* Haha. XD

Laine, although there were a lot of people you had interview, look at it this way: You're Popular! XD .

Kye Li,... Darling... sadly, there's no such thing as kurus KONTANG. hahahahahahahhahaahhaha. I can still laugh my arse off at that. XD By the way, it's Canon, Kye Li, by Johann Pachelbel. ;p Not C-A-N-N-O-N.

Now.. who else? Melly-Smelly~ I want KY but if you want him, I think we can negotiate. XD

Hmm... Aly. I love you. Especially when that one moment you said, "I like the way Farhana walks. It's kinda cool." Yes, Aly, I love you, too. Haha.

Hmm.. Amanda. No, I didn't watch the other *cough* risque *cough* CD's you gave me. :D I'm a good girl. Nyeekkkk ;p

Ajaaaaaaa.... I enjoyed our oh-dang-my-battery-is-gonna-go-out-but-I'll-still-chat-with-you-until-my-battery-goes-byebye sms-es. Lol. In the end, I was praying fervently my battery won't go out or I'll lose everything in my PDA Phone. Sucks, PDA Phone. nyekkk ;p

Hmm... basically, I had a nice time on Friday. Chan felt like she's fried to the bone.

Chan: Lying down... lying down sounds good.

Lol. We were walking back from the canteen. We were supposed to take the staircase closest to the canteen, but then she kept on walking to the Skylite. I was like o_O... but I just followed her, thinking that she wanted to go somewhere. Then, halfway...

Chan:*Stops abruptly* Where exactly are we supposed to go?

Me: o_O... 3 Amanah.

Chan: Oh shoot. My brain's fried.

Lol, don't worry, Chan. It was just for the day.


My new passion: Reuben Gingrich. ;p Despite his barefoot playing of the double bass drums, he's the best.... For now.

Quoting my writing pal: "I know what you mean, Faranza. I'm practically ADD my attention span is so short. lol."

I still love my Hanamichi. Although he did dunk a basketball on someone's head. XD



The beginning of the end will come soon enough.

Because I Promised.

Because I Promised.

As dictated by Faranza Syns

We had EdBoard Farewell the other day, as most of you well know. It was fun. Lots of eating (yay!). And lots of calories (gosh, forgot to think about that.) But the thing that still has me laughing is the fact that all of us acted sooo "jakun". Photo-taking every 5 minutes? If that's not jakun, then I'd say it was an extreme bout of camwhoring. ;p nyekkk

Okay, guess who? (Kye Li doesn't know I took this pic. HAHA)

I took this pic and Kye Li went "I can take MUCH BETTER!"
... Sweat, Kye Li, sweat =_=''.

I just realised Kye Li's actually quite pretty. =_=''... haha.

While we were waiting for the form fives, we were doing all of the above. Basically, taking picture of stupid stuff and things that aren't necessarily new to us... like our own faces? Haha. And then we saw CTC walk in. You know, Tien Chuen (is that how you spell it? Lol, he doesn't know I'm writing about him, so it wouldn't matter.) And there he was, carting his whole photography set. We didn't actually expect him to bring the WHOLE set, but good, anyways. At least we'll get good photos.

CTC setting up. The publisher (I think that's him) looked this way.
*Gape* You didn't think I was taking a picture of you, did you?

Arrgh, Nurul, you moved. And the lighting was so perfect.

I was only going to take their pic.
Isn't it just my luck my phone snapped the pic right that moment? XD

Basically, we were waiting for Pn. Sheila and the other teachers before we could get started. You know, common courtesy and stuff. They took quite a while. Ann was going "I'm hungry laaaa..." And just from that sound, I could deduce that she was pretty much starving. Of course, the next line she said did support my claim.

"I didn't eat breakfast."

Well, neither did I, Ann. Haha, so much for prepraring space for a feast.

So we sat talking. And snapping pictures. Then, we got a call. The teachers said they were going to be late since they got stuck in a traffic jam.

And they said we should start first.

Don't hold your breath.

Like a shot, we ran to the buffet section.

Holy moly!

This was the only picture I managed to take before I started salivating, so... ;p

And thus, let the feast begin!

Mel's and Kye Li's plate. Or shall I say PLATES.
Ooh, the carbonara was... just wonderful.




Enjoying themselves, of course.

And behold.... MY PLATE.

Yes, I stopped half-way to take this picture. =_=''
The sandwich was delicious. Kye Li said it's turkey meat.
p/s: I'm salivating right now.

Right after I took that picture, we had to stop eating for the moment to greet Pn. Sheila and the other teachers. One of us (I think it was Chan?) said "I don't wanna leave my food!" Ah, you don't know how much I agree with you, Channy, dear. And so we got up from our seats and exit the Melting Pot. We were gonna walk quite a ways to greet the teachers. But Erin, our dear, dear Erin, said "Eh, no need to walk so far la. The less distance we walk to greet the teachers, the less distance we need to cover to get back to our food."

Good point, Erin. Never knew you were that smart... wait... always knew you were that smart. =_='' My bad. Haha.

And so, we stopped just a few metres away from the Melting Pot, accepting Erin's words with nods of agreement. Well, from me and Chan, that is. The other four went on ahead already. We had to call them back. But then, Mel, Ann, Nurul and Kye Li spotted the sign "Shopping Gallery".

Okay, who can quess how excited they were?

Even I was surprised.

They ran up and left me, Erin and Chan down at the lobby to greet the teachers.

Lol. So we waited. When we spotted the teachers, me and Chan were like running: "Kye Li! Mel! Oi, the teachers are here! Hurry, hurry!"

And I was in high heels. =_=''.

So, we smiled, we greeted and we looked sweet. ;p

Then, we got back to our food. FINALLY. And where there's a round one, there's always a round two.

Beginning of Round Two:

I loved the "gourmet sausages" so much, I took them again.
And yes, that IS salmon. Smoked, I think. Can't be raw.

A different angle. Yes, I WAS enjoying myself.

At this point, Kye Li was going "Eh, where's the sushi eh?"

Someone answered, "I didn't see any. Empty already."

"But they'll refill, right?"

"Yeah, surely."

Then, Kye Li saw it. "Eh eh! Sushi sushi!"

She stood up and ran to take the sushi.

Mel: Take a whole plate!

And yes, Kye Li being Kye Li, took a whole plate.

Tadaa!




This is the point where I thought... "Oh crap, what about dessert?"
Ah, heck, no more room.


We took a whole plate, and yet we didn't finish it. Brava, Kye Li. Haha

After that, we moved on to dessert. Well, Kye Li was actually slow at finishing her food (mainly because she took a lot. and also she ran to go and take the sushi) , so we waited for her. But when she finished, Nurul was away, so she and Mel went on for dessert. I waited for Nurul, and then we went to take some desserts. SOME desserts.

We went there and Nurul said "Oh, wait. I wanna eat some dimsum (i think that's what it was. Dumplings is the english word, I'd say). "

Me: I wanna make room for dessert, so let's just share.

Nurul: Ok

Then we turned to take the plates and guess what we saw.

Kye Li and Mel, with two plates stacked up with dessert.

Say it with me people: OH-EM-GEE.




For sarcastic purposes, let's do that again: OH-EM-GEE!
That was Kye Li's plate. Mel already devoured hers.




This was how far she got before she seemed to want to give up.
Lol, us greedy creatures.

And here's me and Nurul's quaint plate of dumplings. Mmm.. nyumm. XD

I think Nurul took a picture of us both "attacking" our dumplings. Lol, but it's in her camera, so that'll just have to wait.

Once we've devoured the dumplings: "OK, next: Dessert!"

Wanna know what we took?

So little, you say? Not much?
Well, I guess.
But wait, if we're not kiasu,
Then we're not Alpha-ians.

So, I present to you,
Me and Nurul's plate of desserts,
Just desserts,
That could rival Kye Li's.


Faranza Syns and Double N Productions Present:

Yeah, baby, it's beautiful!


I couldn't help myself, I took another picture. XD

I should get into photography. =p

Once again, I couldn't help myself.

Not a nice picture, but I loved the food.
So what the hell.

We had an incredible time. I'm pretty shocked it went that well. (Yes, I'm actually talking about the food.)


But all in all, it was a great 1st EdBoard Farewell Party for me. It's not so fun with my HOD not being there. Zi Kang, *sigh*, you barely had exams then. I was gonna have exams in a day's time. How come I could go, but you couldn't? Haha, I guess he was busy. Tsk tsk.

After Erin did her spontaneous welcoming speech, and Pn Ros gave hers, we handed the form fives their souvenirs.

And we took a group picture of them.

I might've arrived,
into these arms,
These spaces,
This time,
Just a little late,
But the warmth,
It stays,
It lingers,
Never to fade.
-Faranza Syns,
Soon-to-be-really-popular blogger.
Haha.

I love the Editorial Board. We were bonded together to create something wonderful. Something amazing. Something that we will share for the rest of our days.


But there comes a time when we'll have to move on.

And it's time to say goodbye.

If you need to crash,
Then crash and burn;
You're not alone.
-Savage Garden-
Crash and Burn.

________________________

Today was absolutely hilarious. Now wait... let me recollect those pieces of memories...

Ah, yes.

Me, Afzan, Amanda and Yin were like, struggling, to finish Aja's "surprise!". =_='' cutting out heart shapes wasn't that easy. haha. I would know. ^_^

"Hana, do me a favour, please," Afzan had said. "Cut this. No need to cut so nicely. But cut close la. Make it a close cut. Make it nice. But I don't want-- what the hell am I saying? Just cut. @_@;.'

ahahaha. What the hell.

Hanamitchi: Amanda, do your eyes hurt? *asks after a while of cutting a strikingly green paper*
Amanda: Not yet, but maybe soon.
Hanamitchi: Ah, darn, it hurts! I'm seeing all pink!

Then, when I was three-quarters done, it was already recess.

And Aja was at the door of the class.

Dun dun dunnnn....

Hanamitchi: o_0... *hides hands, scissors, paper and hearts under table* Afzan. How???
Afzy: *speaks discreetly while smiling at Aja* continue, continue.
Hanamitchi: Someone distract her la.
Amanda: *hides paper under table as well*. How la?

ahahahaha panic set in then. XD.. then Aja came into the class. lol, got worse.

Then, (maybe to distract her) Afzan hugged her and stuff. lol, I had my hands underneath the table. Couldn't seem to let go. =S ahahaha.

Afzan kept on bringing up Aja's duty. It was funny as hell. And to us, it was so obvious Afzan was bringing the subject of duty up just so she could get Aja out. ^_^ ... we smarty asses. We should get an award. XD. .. Aja, if you're reading this, see how special you are to us ;p!

Mel nearly let slip on the "surprise!"...

Mel: So Aja, did you see my message? I wrote two!
Afzan: =_=''....
Aja: ^_^???
Mel:...
Afzan: Mel... *gives the I'm-gonna-kill-you-Mel look*
Mel: Oh! *realises* Oh! Nothing, Aja! Nothing!

Lol, smooth move, Mel. Darn inconspicuous.

But all in all, it went well.

Then, during BM class (or was it Chemistry??), Afzan and Yin were fighting over Shane yet again. So, Mel interjected.

Mel: Ok, ok. So now, Shane officially belongs to Yin and Afzan. There, happy?

Absolutely not! lol.

Mel: Shane! They're fighting over you again
Hanamitchi: And again, and again, and again...

Shane just smiles. Isn't he just sweet?

Hanamitchi: Why are we-- okay scratch that. Why are you guys fighting over Shane, anyways? (insinuating that there are other better victims)
Everyone: *Silence* *No reaction* (doesn't listen to Hanamitchi)
Hanamitchi: Forget it.
Afzan: HAHAHAHAHA!

Me and Afzan skipped Agama. Sorry ustazah! ^_^''.... went up to 5 Omega ( I think) so that Afzan can see her beloved secretary. So, we were standing out there, and heard Pn. Rashidah's voice.

Afzan: Hana, you tolong call Anis. I'm scared la.
Hanamitchi: Lah? Why?
Afzan: It's Pn. Rashidah.
Hanamitchi: Why me?!
Afzan: Please please please. Just call Anis.
Hanamitchi: Anis?
Afzan: Wan Farhah Anis
Hanamitchi: Hah? What?
Afzan: Anis. Anis. Just call Anis.
Hanamitchi: But I don't want to!
Afzan: Hana!

So we stood there, outside of the class, Afzan trying to get me to call Anis, me saying "don't want, don't want!"

=_=''... no idea why.

Then, a solution came up when Jules came by. So, I accompanied her in, and she asked to see Anis. ^o^ there you go! Mission accomplished!

While I was waiting outside the class, then I saw Zi Kang. My beloved HOD. Did mention what happened at Farewell?

He came over to me. "Farhana, my dear, let's take pictures."
And we camwhored.
Then he looked over and saw Mel. "Melissa, my darling, let's take pictures together."
Lol.
Then, Jasmine walked past. "Jasmine, come come, let's take pictures!" he said.
When we gathered round him, he said. "This is my dear (pointing at me), this is my darling (pointing at Mel), and this is my sweetheart (pointing at Jasmine)."

*laugh my arse off*

And he took a picture of Dharr's legs. I messaged him about it.

My message:
Wah, Zi Kang! You took a pic of Dharr's legs! Lol, you're just hilarious sometimes

His reply:
I am hilarious, I am attractive. That's why people LOVE me. (I was taking the picture of an ant, btw)

My reply:
Wah, must've been a huge ant. Ever heard of zooming? XD You're a bad liar, THAT'S why people love you.



Zi Kang's Zi Kang. It's reason enough for him to be who he is. XD

His other message:
I'm not going to school tomorrow. You can give me back my pendrive on Thursday. Don't miss me. But I know you will anyways.


WTH, Zi Kang. Keep telling yourself that, and maybe one day your prayers will come true. ;p

And THAT is my BELOVED H.O.D.
