Caitlin's Great Adventure

It all started .....

On the morning (9.30 a.m.) of the 10th of April 2008. All was peaceful in the house. Caitlin was sound asleep in bed. The SUDDENLY... her mother pounced on her! Caitlin had to choose between two options, if she valued her life. Option #1. Take the bus and go to Singapore, find your way around and come back tomorrow. Option #2. Take the shuttle bus from Ikano to the Kelana Jaya LRT Station and then take the LRT to KLCC then find your way to the British Council Library.

Caitlin groans and turns to the other side. Her mum refuses to give up.

Anywayyyyy. To cut a long story short, Carmen and I got dragged into this by our mothers. We haven't yet figured out the objective of this ...... adventure, but I'm quite sure it has something to do with getting us out of the house.










As you can see, we made it.. Oh yes, while waiting for the train to come, I just had this random thought. I totally forgot what LRT stood for, you see. So I asked the amazing, one-and-only, Carmen. Her answer?

"LITTLE ROCKY TRAIN"

I .................... have absolutely nothing to say.



Anyway, this morning, I had an interesting conversation with my mum.


Mum : Hey, what happened yesterday? What did Daddy scold you about?

Caitlin : Huh? Daddy scold me? Where got?

Mum : Yeah, I thought I heard him scolding you, something about leaving things to the last minute..

Caitlin : Where got? OHHHHHH. No la, he was scolding Gary (my brother), not me.

Mum : Oh, really ar? He didn't scold you? How come so good one?

Caitlin : Yeah, actually I'm quite surprised also. I slept so late last night (2.45 a.m.) and you didn't even scold me at all.

Mum : *in surprised tone* Oh, I just pretend you didn't come back from Australia. How else do you think I could have survived this two weeks?

Caitlin : MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM !!!! So mean la you !!!



Oh yes, yesterday night, I decided to create one of those test things. Just for the fun of it. =) Although it was VERY EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING because I had to TYPE OUT THE WHOLE THING TWICE. Yes. So we shall see how well you people know me. =)

The woman (teoh jiah min) came over just now, so we decided to create a test on our opinions of each other. Quite amusing, really. =) Go do that one as well !! It's below my test. It's the one that's outlined in (very faint) blue. The test about me is the one that's outlined in (very faint) pink. =)

Okay, I'm going to sleep. G'night, people. =)

panic

OH MY GOD &!*$ !! WHAT IN THE WORLD DID I DO TO MY BLOG?? I wanted to put a slash through ONE PHRASE, now EVERYTHING IN MY BLOG HAS A SLASH RIGHT THROUGH IT !! I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EDIT THE HTML CODE !! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeeeeeah. As you can see, I don't handle situations very well. But I figured it out. =) Turns out it wasn't so difficult. But I STILL took a while to figure it out. Nuts. Stop laughing, Carmen, it's not funny and I do not take a long time to figure EVERYTHING out. It's just this one thing. Really.

Remove 1 question from below, and add in your personal question, make it a total 20 questions, then tag to 8 people in your list, list them out at the end of this post. Notify them in their chat box that he/she has been tagged.

(I forgot to remove a question and add in my own. By the time I remembered... too lazy.)

1.) What was your dream when you were in your childhood?
Childhood dream. Hmmm. I think I wished I could do magic. Or fly. Or something like that. Hehe.

2.) Rainy days or sunny days? Why?
As mentioned in the post before, rainy days put me in a good mood. For some reason I get hyper during rainy days. Even when I'm stuck in the rain. *beam*

3.) Which do you like the most? Black or White?
I used to like black a lot. I thought it was pretty cool (apologies to Michael), being goth/emo and all that. Now I like both of the colours, but if it was a choice between white and black (like this one) I'd choose white, because white is like, pure and everything. Matches my name too! (the name "Caitlin" means pure) -carmen shuddup and stop laughing. =)-

4.) Who would you marry?
Someone who loves me. And whom I love. And who,of course, is conveniently rich. And handsome. And ... haha... kidding, kidding. What do you take me for? =)

5.) Where is the place you would like to go most? Why?
Well, I'd love to travel around the world. No idea which place in particular, but somewhere with beautiful beaches, and mountains..

6.) What are you afraid of?
Death? And cockroaches. Betrayal. Pain. And I don't mean physical pain. Monsters. (which I know don't exist, but I have a vivid imagination-that's why I've never watched a horror movie.....ever.)

7.) When you encounter a sad moment, what would you do?
Lock myself in my room and cry. If it's REALLY sad then I'd put the air-cond to full blast, draw all the curtains, switch off all the lights, lock my door, light a candle and then stare at it while reflecting on my life. Seriously. I'm not even joking.

8.) What is the one thing you can never get tired of?
Hmmm. Pride and prejudice!!! Reading story books. Amusing myself by doing stupid things. Like clipping my finger with a bullclip. XD

9.) If you meet someone that you love, would you confess to him/her?
I wouldn't confess. I'm a staunch believer in the "guys should do all the confessing" theory. Of course, I would give little hints.. even if I didn't want to, I probably would. Natural reaction. =) But I think some people mistake gestures of friendliness as hints. ><

10.) What do you think of the person who tagged you?
Erm. Cheng Chun ar. He's a nice guy. Super hardworking (well, a lot more hardworking than me, at least). Smart. Friendly. Kind. =) (cheng chun this is your cue to bow down and worship the ground I stand on erm, I mean.. to say thank you.)

11.) What are the requirements that you wish of your other half?
He definitely has to play some kind of sports. (but not golf, puh-lease) Smart. Good-natured. Can understand my weirdness and inability to understand myself. (ohmygoodness I sound like I'm advertising for some person to put on a cereal box) Not so nice to admit this,but .... Good looking. =) Respected. Respects me. Cares. Not egoistic. Doesn't think he's the centre of the universe/that the world revolves around him. Willing to listen. Able to make sense of my nonsense. Comprehends and FOLLOWS COMPLETELY my (newfound) and (a bit hard for anyone to accept) principles on relationships. Oh, and loves me, of course. I think that's enough for now. =)

12.) Which type of person do you hate most?
People who act like they're something when they're nothing. Actually that sounds quite bi*chy. But I can't stand people who act all high and mighty when they've actually got nothing to show.

13.) Favourite part of a song?
The lyrics, definitely. I LOVE songs with meaningful lyrics. Which explains why I only listen to "emo" songs. After the lyrics comes the melody. But most "emo" lyrics go with "emo" melodies, so that's alright. XD

14.)Do you ever admit it when you're emo?
I don't have to admit it ... everybody can tell when I'm emo. =) But I usually say I'm not "emo-ing". Out of habit. =)

15.) What will you do if the world ends tomorrow?
I'd hold on to my family and friends and reassure them (and myself) that everything will be alright (even though the world is going to end).

16.) Who's your favourite cartoon character?
Erm, none in particular.. I like the Disney princesses though. =)

17.) To what extent would you do something for the special ones?
To what extent. Erm. Whatever it takes to make them happy. But if that takes giving them a million dollars ................... forget it. XP

18.) Describe your dream house.
It should be somewhere in the countryside. Peaceful and all that. I'd love one of those old houses.. the ones where you can see the brick work. It's so .... classy. =) And the inside.. something simple. Elegant but understated.

19) Does music make you lose control?
Lose control? Like go on a killing spree or something? Nope. *grin* When I'm REALLY REALLY sad, "emo" music with "emo" lyrics makes me cry. But I somehow don't think I can get high by listening to rock songs or whatever.

20)No music = no life ?
Well, not necessarily no life.. I mean, now that we DO have music I guess we (read: I) tend to take it for granted. Let's just put it this way.. life would be different without music. =)

not my fault

The internet connection has been down.


That would explain the lack of an update.


(Of course, I doubt I would have updated even if the internet was working - but that's not the point)


Anyway,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHELLE !!

*hugs&kisses*


G'night, people. *wink*

oh so interesting

You know, one would normally think that coming back to Malaysia after spending close to 2 months studying in Australia would be a ... refreshing break. I'm bored out of my wits. You know what I did today? Guess guess guess.



Well, I'm going to tell you anyway.

So eventful right?





I've only been back for two days. Bah.







Oh yes, I totally forgot about this..





Trinity College Foundation Studies Student Committee !!





I got in !! So cool, right? Of course, I think the only reason I got in was because not many people applied for it (at least, I think not many people applied-I probably wouldn't get selected otherwise), so yes, I think everyone who wrote the essay got in. =.=



Oh well, I still got in, and that's the point. =)

So cool, right? Have a look at the e-mail ..

Congratulations! We are pleased to confirm that your application has been successful and you are eligible for membership of our TCFS student committees.

We look forward to seeing you when we have our three leadership workshops in late April. We will contact you closer to the time to give details about dates and content. All these workshops must be attended to be part of any of the committees.

*grin*
