CHS Golden Jubilee, and other things

Gawd, I used a total of Rm75 this week.

And I owe people money.

I'm supposed to go out and get a birthday present for a friend today, I know exactly what she wants, and it ain't cheap.

I've got all these money going out, but none coming in.

Sigh, if you've borrowed money from me, and I've forgotten about it, and you're reading this, return the money, okay? (Keeping fingers crossed.)

It was wonderful, I pretty much achieved my goal, which was to visit every stall/exibition in school.
It would be pretty crazy to not visit them, 'cause they're all real interesting, and besides, they're not gonna be there, ever again. Unless you live another 50 years, and return to CHS.

So I went around with my sister, yeah, and we watched a rat dissection / got a henna tattoo thing / waitted in line for the haunted house but figured there were just too many people.

I wasn't kidding when I said I had no money. My sister had to go make her friend return her Rm10, just so we could get that henna thing.
Pretty stupid really, but hey, this'll be the only time we're allowed to have a tattoo-like thing in school.

My mom's reaction to them, "Aiyoh! Sai mm lat ga! Teacher tai dou dim hou?!"
You translate yourself la.

You know, the Sejarah society's exibition deserve a special mention. They had this almost life-sized sarcophagus thing, complete with this corpse inside.
They also erected this really tall thing on one side of the room, and it had all these egyptian wordings carved onto it.
The wonderful thing was, they were all made from paper-mache, but they looked so real. Wonderful.

It was great, that the LKT stall had an endless stream of customers. I mean, people were coming in non-stop, yeah, so it would be pretty safe to say, they did a very, very good job.
They could've hiked up the price a bit, though, 'cause their prices were pretty cheap, and 'cause they were that much in demand.

There were a few weird stalls, like the PTA's, that were selling watermelons.
I walked one round, two rounds, three rounds, all at least an hour in between, and by the third round, the watermelons looked... like it never moved. There were this much watermelons when I left, there were this much watermelons when I came once more.

They could've sold brocolli, and bussiness would probably have been the same.

There were also a few rip-offish stalls, that sold food that were pretty much yuck.

I took my parents to the chemistry lab, to check out a few of my friends' experiments thing. We checked out Lu and friends' volcano.
The first time we went, Linda told us to wait till 12.30pm, which was another 5 minutes. So we went ahead and looked at the other experiments, and when we returned later, the S3's were ready.
My mom waited while they poured this mixture thing into the volcano.
My mom waited while the volcano got ready to puke volcanic lava.
And just as something was about to pour from the volcano's opening, her cellphone rang. By the time she finished talking, the volcano was done.
Talk about bad timing.

Anyway, it was a call for her to return to her office, which was a bummer. My parents left then, so I was left with my sister.

The whole 'being-poor' thing really hit us big when we wanted to get this mummy doll trinket thing. It costed Rm2.50 each, and we both wanted one, so we kind of took out the money we had, counted them, took aside money we needed for transport home, took aside emergency money, and figured that... we could only afford one.
Oh, how bitter being penny-less.

So we left school at about 3.30, and at the end of the day, I had Rm3.00 left in my pocket.
'Twas just after it was too late to go back to school that I realized, I could've gotten another mummy-doll trinket.

But the most wonderful thing was, it was July 1st, which means a new month, which in turn means gettin' ALLOWANCE, baby!

You know why my sister had no money with her on saturday?

Because she just spent a cool Rm89.90 on My Chemical Romance's DVD. 'Life on the murder scene' or something.

She's so crazy over them, she made my brother buy MCR's first album in the US and air mail it over to us, all because Malaysian music stores does not stock up on that album.

I don't see what's so special about that DVD, I mean, even the lead singer didn't seem to take it very seriously. They were shooting their video diary, and the guy was talking to the camera while lighting a cigerette / rubbing his eyes non-stop / taking large swigs of F&N right from the bottle / sratching his out-of-bed hair / extremely slouched on the couch.
If people were shooting me, and it would be on DVD, where it'd be watched over and over, I'd at least make sure I looked presentable.

Well, at least, she no longer listens to Hilary Duff. Eurgh.

My dad drove us to the Curve for dinner last night, because we wanted to try out that Japanese restaurant, but while waiting in line, we suddenly realized we have had enough sushi while in school.

So we went to this italian-ish cafe.

And I had the most amazing smoked salmon cream pasta. I forgot my manners, 'cause it was good, and went ahead and licked the leftover cream and small salmon flakes. Lovely!

What is the most delicious fish if it isn't salmon?
