The 8


There was a short lecture in school today, one of the humorous one's
I've attended, not that I attend a lot that is.
(Maybe because it was short !)

Say hello to the nerd-anni,
I'm actually blogging about a lecture !
Not entirely actually,
I'm curious about human's mind,
it fascinates me unfailingly :)


The lecture was about multiple intelligence

According to the list formulated by Howard Gardner, there are 8 intelligence types :
(other types of abilities exist too, they are far more complex though)

so there's :
  • Verbal Intelligence
    - good at reading, writing & speaking

  • Logical-Mathematical Intelligence
    - Likes finding & solving promblems

  • Visual & Spatial Intelligence
    - good at drawing, painting & designing

    - you scribble on test papers during exams. You're a natural at sewing, knitting, carving, carpentry or decoration. You day dream ! You like making things with your hands. Pictures or patterns dance in your mind. You innovate from things that you've somehow seen somewhere before. People often don't get your idea. You have too many ideas. Brushing and mixing colors are fun ! You're stubborn. You look at a illustration or painting for a long time. You get excited going to IKEA ! You don't like following steps. You memorize things by using the mind's eyes. You're slightly weird. You like making your own recipe. You'd prefer practicing drawing skills than solving an algebra question. You're sensitive towards colors. You often imagine ! Being messy doesn't really bother you. You like setting your drawing tools in a bunch than neatly organizing them in a box. You VISUALIZE !

  • Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence
    - Learns through play or movement

  • Musical & Rhythm Intelligence
    - Has a good sense of beat, tone or music

  • Interpersonal Intelligence
    - good at interacting, likes group activities

  • Intrapersonal Intelligence
    - self-reflective, aware

  • Naturalist Intelligence
    - Aware of environmental issues, loves nature


so which category do you fall in ?



if you have the patience, click here to find out
ps, I like making notes =)


I believe people can be clever in different ways.

My sister

Just this morning I said it was more peaceful without you around !
And how could you have left and not seen my specially created card that I left for you on the table !
And then I argued with mom again just now,
where were you when we weren't speaking to each other just now ?
.
.
well, good luck with the cold showers everyday.
and all the spicy food that I will not help you eat.
ooh ! and the extreme sports that you just hate to do. hahaha !
and the hot sun you hate being under.
.
.
You're stupid precious dogs are still alive, don't worry !
though they got bombarded by me today.
.
.
when asked for number of seats needed at a table in a restaurant,
I'd raise 4 fingers, just to find myself quickly twining my pinky back down.
.
.

My sister is a brat :



Looking more like a lady everyday





she's a dog lover. shesh





she's a natural





she bullies me







we always look good together,

because we complete each other.




like yin and yang,
but in this case : red and orange




and when we work together,

we are unbeatable.







I come second place after your lover.
I am not jealous,
I repeat : I am not jealous

and I will be at my best to not bully him ( that much )




Till then,
See you in a week ?
come back and go kayaking with me !

2010 | Sakae Sushi



You're 17 Joee !
I love looking back at all the pictures the all of us took.
It shows our changes every year and also brings back so many memories.
Sometimes I think of the past,
there were some sad ones, some happy ones & some blur ones.
I can't help but indulge myself into them.
Esther's post is so overwhelmingly touching, I've got nothing else better to say.
Good one Esther, she loved it !
But I will say that I cherish you, and that I love you.
and
like I used to tell you :
I hope the BEST for you, and I still do !
Have a rocking good year gal !

School ?

So the first week of school just passed !
For the first day, if I had to describe it, I would use one word : LIVELY
It slowly drifted off to BUSY as I scribble down some reminders on my organizer pages.


Just for kicks, I paraded a little show for my sister of how we would react when we woke up late for school.

WAKE UP ! IT'S SCHOOL TIME


30 minutes later...

JIE ! WAKE UP ! WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE !

she laughed

Of course, that was me imitating her. She no longer has to wake up that early, and now I have to depend on myself to wake up in the morning. bumer

Saturday, January 2, 2010

so yeah, senior year

17/ 4/ 2009 | Mbs | Joint Boards Day


hey mates !
Its 2010 ! and I'm a senior already ? Must I take SPM ? and must I go through long hours of Undang Lecture ( driver's ed. ) ? Obviously, a lot of whining is going on inside my brain.
Time passes bloody fast, what happened to the good old days when I had nothing to do ?!
I survived high school for the past 4 years. 4 years already you say ? It just seemed like I just started high school yesterday, a nerdy, studious, geeky, lame - so me.

Being the nice person I am, I'll share my survival guide tips for you fellow juniors. hee



Anni's guide to high school survival !

1. If your form 1 / 2, its important to find the gang you want to hang out with, they might be with you for many years to come.

2. Don't call your seniors "goh goh" or "jie jie".
Don't call your juniors "mei mei" or "di di"

3. Don't approach seniors overly excited, its scary !

4. DO ponteng (skip class) from school or class once in a while, just don't get caught.

5. Don't steal ! I hate stealers !

6. Don't always pride on being popular, its so sickening.

7. If you forgot to bring a textbook a fierce teacher told you to,

( a. ) use another book and try to turn to the page of a similar color that everyone else is looking at. Shift a little to a side, so you can read the text from your friend's book.

( b. ) Screw it !

8. Do homework that you only want or should do.

9. It's safe to join activities, clubs and societies. It doesn't make you uncool, got that?

10. Sleep in class. Its quite comfortable actually.

11. You don't have to be nice to annoying teachers, just don't be mean to them.

12. Be yourself. Second thought : be nice enough if your "self" is mean.

13. Stay away from friends that make you feel bad of yourself.

14. Study, and work hard for exams and tests.
Not all students in science classes are nerds !
Not all students in social classes are dumbasses !
Got that ?!

15. Go on dates, time to get to know the opposite sex better. But don't be a flirt !

16. Keep your clothes on ! Don't do something you'll regret !
( Unless you don't regret it, I've got nothing to say)

17. Most of all, enjoy yourself in school ! have as much fun as possible whilst studying !



I'll stop here.
All the best to all of you.
Till then, see you all in school !

Just Dance, gonna be okay



Better late than never right ?
here's a post about my high school's prom which was like 10 days ago !
I'll try to keep this within readable length

It was prom for the Seniors of Class of 2009,
this bunch of people, I have known most of em' since I was form 1.
Gee, its gonna take some getting used to to not seeing their faces in school next year.

Who knew there was so much preparation just for one night ?
Hair, make up and shopping for perfectly fitted heels !

Izmir, Song yee and Vincent came over to my place,
and we headed to Park Royal Hotel,
and the night began !

I'll let the pictures do the talking now :)



my prom date, Izmir


Slow dancing for the first time. eeps



my sister and friends


my girls and I
















everyone looked crazily awesome that night.
even the studious types, looked like hawt chicks with cleavage !

On leaving the hall,
Izmir and I turned our heads back,
to have one last look at everything, everyone
who was still taking pictures, chattering and hugging each other.
It was like looking at a moving picture.

For Izmir, 'high school ends here already ?'
For me, 'am I gonna feel twice as bad when I leave next year ?'

Till then, I'll know
I might feel good maybe
who knows :)

And jingle all the way !



Christmas in Pahang wasn't bad this year,
rushed to the pool and water park with our swimwear,
its going to be hard for the tan to disappear.

On Christmas night then, we went star gazing !
It was beautiful, it was magical, it was amazing.
It made me...hopeful, a-feeling.

and then a shooting star appeared !
palms locked together by my fingers,
I wished upon it.

Its things like these,
that bleach the screwed up past from my head

Its things like these,
that cheer me on for sleeping sound at night in bed.


here's some pictures :








I guess we're really too big for Flinstone's ride. ha















the kid and the aunty





squashing my cousin cause he was so noisy !


that's all for now

Action speaks louder than words


Someone once told me something very wise
he said,

Actions speaks louder than words



Back then I was arguing with my mother again, apparently.
What was I to do ?!
I'm a raging teen and she's the aging women.
But there was something I could do, and I did it.


No words were spoken, but she was already crying.


Here's what I did :
I bought a plain A6 note book
And tittled it,
" The tale behind a wonderful women ".
( just ignore the cheeseyness kay )
Inside, I included some crafty stuff, some quotes, and some pictures.
and got some sponsorship from my sister
(printing pictures, and buying materials are expensive y'know)

It's her Christmas present by the way.
of course she had no idea I had been preparing this for the whole year,
while she was yapping and scolding all the way.

did she like it ?
you betcha

















yes, i bought the naggier one : (


(below) a photo of my grandmother I fixed.
the photo is about 70 years old or so,
It looks so much better !
thankyouverymuch

Maybe for now,
she wouldn't think my photos are rubbish


(before)


(after)





















Action speaks louder than words

you can't exactly say I love you to everyone
but there's a way to show it


merry christmas !

Merry Christmas



Let me experience snow,
just one more time.
Craving for a white Christmas,
that's not a crime.
Having snowball fights,
that was our wartime,
and Singing "12 days of Christmas",
way past our bed time.

That was my childhood.
but I'd like to experience snow,
just one more time.


Merry Christmas !

Christmas is about love and joy,
so don't send yourself a lime.
Go grab someone,
and tell them you love them

When he wouldn't take 'No' for an answer



Let's call her June and let's call him Sam

June had an admirer named Sam.
Now isn't that nice to know.
the only problem was --
he would not take NO for an answer !
.

She couldn't take it any longer and decided to

Set Him Up


.

How ?
She agreed to go out with him.
But what he didn't know was that she had asked
another person out on the same day,
and to meet her at the exact venue where
she and Sam had agreed to meet in the first place.
.
Sam showed up then,
and she said :" Owh ! I forgot ! "
Sam never looked for her again.

Ouch




Based on a real life experience someone told me today,
I find it to be so hilariously original,
Don't you ?

Ring around the rosies

What's with all the ROSES man !
Can Anni ever stop talking about roses already.


Answer : Yes she can !

Forgive me dear readers.

.
this post will soon be labeled under
Header Story once I'm done writing this.
Its when I tell the story behind the picture I use for my header title.
Its not like me to blog about my personal life.
So read if your like
but please don't comment if you don't have to.


and This is my story :


It was the first time I ever received roses. And there was a box of chocolate with the name of a tongue twister ( ferroro rocher ) attached to it. Never before in my dreams or fantasies has it ever came to me that I would receive flowers, let alone roses, until today. I was flattered of course. Eventhough I did not feel in 'that' of a way for him, when he passed the bouquet to me, I felt gushes of blood dancing in my body, then it rushed to my cheeks, displaying red flush blush. And my heart skipped a beat that I was pounding and pounding and pounding. ( Oh let me faint already )

No no no, this is not a love story where I gradually develop feelings for the guy and love-dovey-fy everything. The happiness of flattery did not last till the end of the day. It came to my knowing that the giver and his friend both felt in 'that' of a way for me. And they both then engaged in disputation. How ashamed I should be. ( please do not take me as showing off or being arrogant, I am telling the story as it is ). Taking blame for it then and pleading myself guilty will indirectly show that I am trying too hard to prove that I was utterly innocent and it was their fault they got themselves into this mess. I felt uneasy, but it was better I shut up. I know it must not have felt 'wonderful' for them. I earned a bad name for myself. But I am glad I found out about this. I don't know what I should have felt, but what I do know is that I did not feel very good. And I never want that to happen again.

Time makes you drunk of your memories. Things are far better as it is since then. Perhaps we are all more mature now. The giver and his friend are still as good and both are too my good friends now. That means friends that are good to each other. For this, I conclude a happy ending with no romance, but friendship.


I love roses, nothing more petite but elegant.
Every time I see these layered ones,
I can't help but think of this
and I'll smile,
just a little







Mind over matter
