1st of August

It's the first day of the month. If I were in school, either Nic, K or Hibi would say something really fast and give me a punch. I have spent one and a half years of my life with them, and til this day I cannot remember what little ditty is it they chant...

At the moment, the first paper of my trials are over! Whew, only six left to go. I'm drawing up a list of trial commandments as I go. The first is:

Thou shalt not speaketh of any paper thee has finished.

That's a golden rule that can prevent depression and further sinking of marks. I think everyone should follow it. Because what is the point of comparing notes after the exam anyway? It's done and gone. *shrugs*

On another point: I woke up this morning and made brownies because I was craving chocolate. I forgot to reduce the sugar and ended up with sugar-high-inducing-brownies. The rest of the day was spent in a sugar filled delirium and time passed very, very slooowly. And while we're on the subject of food...

I'm participating in the 40 Hour Famine campaign again this year. I think the campaign exists in Malaysia although I've never personally participated in it over there. Anyway, it concerns the Global Food Crisis, which is currently in its third year. The best way to help out would be to raise donations by depriving yourself of something crucial for 40 hours. More can be found out here: http://www.worldvision.com.au/40HourFamine.aspx

I've decided to go without food this year. Lets see what happens when I deprive myself of sweets, protein and carbohydrate. I'd probably end up sleeping the whole time. XD So, please donate! I'm hoping to raise 100.00AUD this year, because everyone should shoot for the stars, and 100.00AUD is awesome enough for me. Here's my link: http://40hf.com/Donate2Didi-40hrfamine

Cheers!

Happy Earth Hour!

At 8.30pm today, I turned off all the lights and electrical appliances and experienced my manufactured blackout for exactly one hour and 5 minutes. During that one hour, I wrapped some presents in the dark and played the piano by touch. Hence, I have officially participated and celebrated the Earth Hour this year.

Earth Hour is celebrated globally every year, with many countries participating in this act to save earth. I remember celebrating it frequently in Malaysia as a result of blackouts during thunderstorms or for some other random reason in the middle of the day. My usual modus operandi for such occasions is to play the piano or sleep. If I have to do work, out comes the torch-lights and candles. However, such appliances usually lead to shadow games and wax artwork...with the eventual result that no work gets done anyway.

On the more fun stuff.

Yesterday was the school walkathon. Wahoo! Instead of participating in the actual walk, Year 12's were responsible for creating food stalls and activities for the tired juniors at the end of the walk. My group decided to have a Mehndi stall. Was it popular! We were supposed to work in shifts, but that went out the window the minute the lines started building up. I was pretty hyper (as usual) and working non-stop actually left me pretty thrilled. That and the fact that I was gorging myself on food for one hour prior to the arrival of the juniors. My only complaint about it is that everyone wanted the elaborate designs. Elaborate designs hurt. However, there is that strange sense of satisfaction whenever I complete a complicated design and it turns out pretty. At the end of the day my hands were splotched and mottled brown from mehndi stains and resembled some weird skin disease. But my group raised 297.5 dollars! Whooo!

Tomorrow I shall work on an elaborate design to cover up those stains. Today I shall rest. XD

Cheers!
