Hello!

So Jacqueline and Frank did arrive on Sunday, I took frank and jacq to lunch with my parents a few people at the gym, then on Monday we had dinner again, then Tuesday i took Jacqueline for KFC, on Wednesday I had pizza with mom, and friday, I'm looking at dinner with jacq, frank & cj (philipino trainer in india)
If in hadnt been working out lately I would feel immensely guilty. That's alot of indulgence!

Been pretty bust lately studying for exams & managing my time... Gonna sit for a bio paler in about three hours, wish me luck!

P.s: I hope nothing much comes out from the animal kingdom chapter. Jesus Christ, I hate that chapter. No one needs to know who rules the animal world! Arrrghhh!

je m'ennuie de toi!

Annnd so will Frank Drew! Suupa stoked!

... Oh and in 46 hours and 14 minutes, my math exam starts. Arrrrghhh

Goodluckem! Yes this is my blog I think I'm entitled to wish myself luck.

Moving on,

those people mentioned in my previous post are in the process of being suspended, so is the camera lady, and two other goons who tried to make a parody version of it and posted the parody on facebook. (another stupid & lame attempt to get attention, obviously)

I won't really rejoice over this fact until it has materialized.

Why do I have a strong feeling these people would be laughed at, pelted stones at & shunned upon if they were thrown into the Malaysian sekolah menegah? Instead of being famous & worshipped; these people would be made fun of & would be made a joke if left to the Malaysian thinking. I'm not being racist. I'm just saying some people here think a lot differently than people back home, not in a positive way. Too much Indian Soap Opera Drama. But to give credit not everyone is like that. Just the dumber ones. In fact you can find a handful of nice, down to earth, trustworthy people here, you just have to look harder. Thank god.

Much love
Emily.

Hello.
2 weeks to exams!

Anyway I'd just like to blog about what'd happened yesterday.

*No real names will be used.

I was in school yesterday, as usual and I only had classes during the second half (12.30-3.00). Anyway I was busy attempting a Business Past paper when a LOUD commotion was heard from outside the room. No one really thought much about it so we simply wrote it off as hyperactive 11/12th graders coming back from lunch. About three minutes later, a girl comes into our class, calling a girl out of class. We didn't think much about it, since it's comon to be called out of class.

When she got back, she announced that a 11th grader girl named *Dana got into a fight with *Natasha. Immediately I thought it was stupid and immature. I mean, SERIOUSLY? 18 year olds are pulling at each others' hair?

After class, we went out of course and there was a HUGE group of random people just talking aimlessly and crowding over phones as though there was gold on the phone's screen. It wasn't even just one group, it was a hallway filled with tiny groups everywhere, all huddled over a phone, or just talking at the top of thei lungs (they tend to do that here because of major inferior complex problem which they are scared you can't hear them so they think they have the need to scream at you even if you're one cm away)

Curiously, I checked out what's going on. Apparently the 'fight' between dana & natasha was more than just hair pulling. It was Dana, kicking and pushing natasha to the ground, and once natashas on the ground, dana proceeds to kick her in the face, causing her to bleed and then pulling her up by pulling hair and then punching her some more. She was bleeding and crying in the end.

These are actions I'd NEVER imagine anyone doing outside a martial arts class. I found it DISGUSTING, primitive and on top of all that, highly immature. Mind you, they are 17/18. The story goes that natasha called Dana names and that's how Dana started physically abusing her.

They both were stopped eventually by my math teacher and was called into the office. After that incident EVERYONE was talking about it like it was a trip to the candy store. "omg how awesome was that kick? Did you see the video?" that's right. They videotaped the WHOLE Goddamned thing and NO ONE around them decided to help the bleeding girl.

Is this how imhumane people are? Is this the way people are brought up to disrespect each other's morale conducts & beating each other up and not feeling REMORSEFUL after that?

Worse part? Everyone was happy about it. No one saw anything wrong about bashing a girl up in school. She might have emotional (not to mention physical) problems after this and god knows what she's cappable of going with such anger/ embarassment? (bowling for columbine, anyone?) the video got posted on facebook, a FREAKING group was made on facebook with the title "Dana OWNS!" and just about the entire highschool/ middle school kids who tries to fit in joined the group. And 80% of the school population's status on facebook was about the fight and how "oMg, kEwL" it was. I feel sick. I really do. I feel like I'm in a jungle with the popular / pretty animal trumps everyone and it's completely acceptable to the animal kingdom.

Just so you know, Dana pretty much has her head in clouds 99% of the time and she has said once "how can you not know me, I'm the prettiest girl in school!" if this was a publicity stunt to grow her fanbase, I hope she knows it only a cheap trill for guys to be watching her kick with a skirt.

What people are saying now is, "omg I better not mess with Dana, she can do stuff..." FOR PETE'S SAKE! This is what she wanted all along. For people to know who she is and FEAR herً. I guess it's working, for all the imbecilles out there.

I am thoroughly disgusted.

Much love,
Emily

HAPPY DIWALI!
sorry . well the camera isn't in my room now, so yeah i'll upload the trip pictures soonish. but can i tempt you with some other pictures of school? :)

well. i'll upload them in a bit.

today is diwali and its a big thing here, obviously (being india and all?) i was up all night yesterday watching the fireworks display in my balcony. (yes i actually did it up. i laid mats and a matress and pillows and stuff) ha.

strangely enough, there were more fireworks display today than there were yesterday, i mean usually you'd play fireworks on the eve of the celebration to usher in the celebration by midnight, but i guess things are just a little different around here :/

i do have a weeks' holiday due to this celebration and i plan to use it on ... getting back my sleep, studying for my exams, and probably sleeping some more. ive been so tired lately. as you can probably already guess by now, i am just a little over the "bored" line. and i don't seem to be in any form of mood to blog about cheery happythings but umm... i think i should establish that im still using my blog and ive not ditched, au contrare to popular beliefs. haha.

anyway, i'll just upload pictures.

I think i killed him. Haikal Azahar, Malaysian boy stuck in India. :P

This is Monster. he is reading Shivani's english notes.

Dipanjali, Jing Yi, me. and the sweeper lady who likes the guy who mans the water station.

Tamas & Rick
New dudes; one trying to be Chinese, and the other trying to be ... Edison Chen.

hi.
i'm not dead.
just kinda busy.
anyway, ive been travelling alot the past month.
after the mumbai trip we took a four hour ride to samode barg in jaipur with auntie lisa and her family. It was so much fun! we practically lived in the middle of a desert, with camels and horses and ...
wait for it,
wait for it...

PONIES!

haha!

we were there for a nice weekend getaway. pictures up next post!
then the next weekend, we went to shimla cuz my parents wanted to join a race. it was a half marathon race thing, and it was a 9 hour journey up and 11 hours down. talk about all day in the car! excruciating!

but the trip was great! we went shopping at the "mall" which is basically a HUGE stretch of shops in the middle of the town selling scarfs, knicknacks, jewerly, shoes etc.
guess what i bought (among other random things such as a cowboy hat and a halloween mask)? a BB gun! ITS LEGAL IN INDIA before you barge into my 1x1 m room, drag me off my bed shackle me in pretty silver bracelets and toss me into Khetri. (a notorious jail in Rajasthan)...

anyway, back to shimla. It was pretty cold up there. it got to about 10 degree ish in the night and wee hours of the morning. I volunteered in the race, being the registration girl and the time checker. pretty fun!

until some random stranger starts coming to our checkpoint at 7.30am asking us why we're starting the race from a different checkpoint than stated at the sheet. Well, Mister,maybe its because when we gave you all a thorough breifing about it the day of the registration, you were too busy picking your nose or whatever nonsence that you do. BTW- its VERY rude to be barging onto MY table, picking on the YOUNGEST volunteer whilst i'm in the middle of my work. NO this is NOT how you deal with things.

p.s: tearing up the map and tossing it on the ground makes you a criminal, you littering idiot. oh, btw, that was a VERY mature move. My advice? Stop watching all those hindi dramas. No one actually feels sad you toss crumpled paper on the ground. it just makes you look VERY VERY stupid.

MOVING on.

the day after we came down from Shimla. we started at 12pm and we came home at 11pm.. yes 11 hours. in the car. *shivers*

theeen, i took monday off. hahaa.

I've been spending time with my BB gun lately. BUT only on empty water bottles. No animals :)

...unless i see monkeys.

much love
Emily.

Not exactly!
hey.
haha the past week has been filled with fashion shows after fashion shows. :) its been good.

the week before last, on a Saturday, Louis Vuitton threw a party for my parents... I brought Sarah along. it was nice. they had good food and drinks all around, and i got to meet people that i've not met. Saw Thomas's wife and she looks really good 7 months along.

Sarah and I in the bakery getting cupcakes.
Sarah and the 1 lakh purse limited edition in leather with gold sequin embodries.

Last Thrusday, there was this Vogue Fashion Night Out thing in Emporio where people get served with food and various drinks all night long in different stores, whilst browsing through the shops there. It was good. and obviously service was nice... Met Tarun Tahiliani again and talked to him about his clothes. (btw, i got to wear one of the sarees which costs one lakh. WOAH... who buys these stuff anyway?) he asked what i wanted to be. I told him I really want to be a fashion designer but my parents wouldn't let me. then he gives my mom this crestfallen look and was like, "WHY EVER NOT?" haha. psh, designers. but he's right. :P (hint)

Last Friday, i took a flight to Mumbai to catch the Raffles Design International Graduation Fashion show, named Runway 54 (due to their postal code, 54) it was comparable to the one in Singapore, apart from the fact that it was dragged on much too long. Got to meet MORE people and very inspiring lecturers here.
papa and I in the exhibition area before the fashion show.
the runway.

I found her designs to be very unusually creative. props!
I took a million more pictures but i can't possibly post all of them here!

This Friday, I went out with Chahat to watch Final Destination in 3D. honestly speaking, the movie storyline was absolute crap. but due to the visuals, oh my god.every knife, every screwdriver, ever bloodsplatter fell upon your face. i admit, i flinched more times than i wanted to haha.




THEN, yesterday there was a fashion show in DT mall next to emporio. it was a MNG/ Aldo fashion show. we went to DT mall but didn't bother to actually attend the show haha. it was this tiny thing in the middle of the mall. in a country with billions of people.... ouch. stampede?

haha but it was a good month.
and oh , HAPPY EID! to the muslims. going to aunty liza's for her open house at her place tomorrow. yay! malaysian food! :) so excited.

and probably gonna catch sister's keeper tomorrow too. i heard its alot different from the book. we'll see. i loved the book. Speaking of book, you'll never guess what book im reading now (just finished Perfume the story of a murderer, a very good book i'd say. and the movie was very similar to the book) Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, the classic. ahha its a little odd i must say. a few pages into the book and you'll understand why. Next book? Breakfast at Tiffany's!

posting pictures NOw :)

much love
emily.
