Here's what I think these characters / actors are thinking.

All: Do I look good from this angle?

Gotta look cool in front of the camera.... OMG it's really hot! Cameraman, ARE YOU DONE YET!?

Why did you force me to wear this ridiculous helmet?!!?!!

Mystique: I'm going to use this plane and fly to District 12 soon. I'll turn my hair brown, eyes grey, braid my hair and transform into Katniss Everdeen.

Charles: I hope they don't make us sparkly vampires.

Guy: And I was like, BABY BABY BABY OHHHHH~

Stop telephoning me, I'm not Alejandro.

Just dance, gonna be okay. Keep on dancing till the world ends.

I'm bringing sexy back, yeah!

Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never gonna turn around and desert you.

Charles: *laughs*

Missing in Action

noreply@blogger.com (FionaChan) — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 04:01:00 +0000

Dear Diary,

Yes, I've been MIA lately. Not really, just MIA on this blog. I was doing something, and lost in my own perfect world, but suddenly I miss my diary, so I decided to drop by for a while.

I just had a great, inspiring, epic, awesome, heartwarming talk with my diary. I'm so glad we had this talk. Here's how it went.

Me (Fiona): Hellooooo, diary! :D

Diary: *silence*

Me: Hello?

Diary: *glares*

Me: Stop glaring at me, diary, *shifts uneasily*

Diary: *continues glaring*

Me: I know, sorry. :( But you have to understand, I've been ve..

Diary: Shut up, I don't want to hear your excuses. *walks away*

Me: *mumbles* rude..

Diary: *turns back* WHAT? WHAT DID YOU SAY?!

Me: Oh, nothing! I didn't say anything. *acts innocent*

Diary: I heard something!

Me: Maybe you need to see ear specialist... Oh wait! You don't have ears! *laughs at my own lame joke*

Diary: *pulls out a gun*

Me: What the, where did you get a gun?! *backs away*

Diary: *rolls eyes* You, of course. You once doodled this gun on me.

Me: I did? I know how to doodle a gun?! Are you serious?

Diary: *rolls eyes again*

Me: Well then, I'm sure I didn't draw bullets.

Diary: *waves the shiny bullets*

Me: WHAT?! I DID?! *in awe* wow, I am awesome.

Diary: *annoyed*

Me: Wait, be right back.

5 minutes later...

Diary: You went away to get an eraser?! *smiles wickedly* I don't see how that eraser would save you. Maybe you love your eraser so much you want to die with it?

Me: *starts erasing something*

Diary: *eyes wide open* wh.. what is this?

Me: You said I doodled the gun, so I'm erasing the gun. *grins*

Diary: I hate you. *screams in anger and frustration*

Me: Love you too! *grins again*

Great conversation, yes/yes? :D

Hey, I haven't been here for 2 months (I think). I have a few posts drafted, but.. oh well.. and I didn't even come back for my birthday :D So...

Happy belated birthday to me and my darling twin! (lol wtheck) and thank youuuuuuuuuuu my darling friends! ♥ Super touched ♥

Anyway, I think I'll be back uhm.. after SPM maybe? Or January.

Lots of love,

rain, rain, go away.

noreply@blogger.com (FionaChan) — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 22:14:00 +0000

Dear Diary,

When I was a little girl, I used to sing a song to make the rain go away. And guess what, it worked!

It worked more than once, so I believed that this certain song had some magic or something. I forgot what song was it though, something related to rain, or making to rain stop, or rainbow, or sun. I can't even remember the language!

Did you do that too when you were little? Tell me I'm not alone T_T

Dear Diary,

Today is the last day in our school for Pn. Tan! :'( She's my additional mathematics and mathematics (now another teacher teaching maths, but still..) teacher, and she's an amazing teacher. :D

I can't believe she's leaving us months before our SPM. I can't believe she's leaving us. I can't believe she's leaving. I can't believe...

I never thought that she would leave us! :'( Especially not now, anyway. Now I have to pay even more attention during tuition. :/

Selfishfiona does not want to let Pn. Tan go, and share her with a bunch of strangers from other school. Selfishfiona doesn't do sharing. But selfishfiona cannot do anything, so now I'm helplessfiona, wtheck. But wait, I have a whole bunch of helpless5alpharians accompanying.

Don't want to write until so... detailed and touching. I refuse to cry and turn into crybabyfiona again.

Dear the amazing Pn. Tan,

We surely will miss you, and we love you! Thank you for everythinggggggg! You've been nothing but a great teacher!

I hope you enjoy your new school, and the daily one hour drive there. :x

Farewell teacher, good luck and take care! We love you lotssss! ♥♥♥♥

sorry, you got the wrong number.

noreply@blogger.com (FionaChan) — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 05:45:00 +0000

Dear Diary,

Some stranger just called me. He asked for someone I don't know. He obviously called the wrong number, or the someone did not update him with his/her new number. Wrong number, normal thing, right?

The weird thing is, he asked a lot of questions too! He asked me my name. I shouldn't have told him. -__- Then, he asked where I'm from. What do you need it for?!?!?!

Oh he also asked about which company do I work for. Later he asked if I'm still studying. -___-

The worst part is, he actually asked me A LOT of times, "How come I have your number saved in my phone?". HOW. WOULD. I. KNOW!? It's YOUR phone, why are you asking ME?

Seriously, I don't see how these informations could help you to reach whoever's you're calling.

Happy Birthday?

noreply@blogger.com (PyNiC) — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 15:22:00 +0000

My birthday is going to end soon...already 25 years old and I am still stuck here...moneyless and loveless. Oh well, before I cry myself to sleep, I wanna wish

happy birthday, Mr. Lee Soo Man~

Fiona: *hugs* you'll fi)nd your Mr. Right! and your career. :D
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PyNiC!!! and my brother Nelson! :D
Love you both lotsss!

Sony Music Malaysia is the best!

noreply@blogger.com (FionaChan) — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 10:24:00 +0000

Dear Diary,

Diary, I hope you've realised that I actually got qutie a lot of freebies thanks to Sony Music Malaysia. What do you mean you don't? I've written about it on YOU for a few times, darling!

Maybe you'll remember if I refresh your mind.

Remember the awesome AUTOGRAPHED Kelly Clarkson All I Ever Wanted CD + DVD?

Or the Amazing GLEE Notebook?

and also This signed copy of Danell Lee Live In Concert CD + DVD?

Now you remember? :D Good.

How do you think I got them? It's all thanks to their very very up to date and active fanpage (the Glee notebook thanks to goodboygonebad.com :D but Sony Music Malaysia sponsored, if I'm not mistaken). They're amazingly generous and listens to what their fans say too. They have tons of giveaways and contests.

I've been a fan at their fanpage and their twitter follower for very long and I absolutely love what they're doing and their improvements! They're friendly and down to Earth, far from snobbish and etc. They even agreed to snailmail my Kelly Clarkson Autographed CD + DVD to me, complete with bubblewraps. :( *touched*

Plus, they have a lot amazing artists under them, so they have updates and contests for the fans of their amazing artists! They had this contest for Alif Satar fans, to star/appear in his music video!!! That's a very attractive prize, if you're a fan of him or you just really want some fame.

They also share a lot of pictures from some events or something, very kind of them. :D Just see below. Beware, super long picture.

I made it smaller-ish so you can click on it for full size.

I LOVE YOU SONY MUSIC MALAYSIA!

one goal closer to winning

noreply@blogger.com (FionaChan) — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 14:57:00 +0000

Dear Diary,

I just watched the summarized version of 2010 FIFA World Cup, well but now I'm here because I stopped watching. I have headache.

Surprisingly, I enjoyed watching it! No, I didn't think that so many men chasing for a ball is silly. It's just a sport. But it's not really that part that I enjoyed, so diary, stop laughing.

Their excitement and joy when they goaled, how they all rush to hug each other weirdly (awww...), or rush to the substitutes are and hug each other (awww...). Oh if the guy sort of fell (weirdly) on the floor, they sort of stack on top of each other (aww...). Sooooo sweet. Whoever videographed that even slowmotioned the moments! Awwwwwwwwww.. I guess sometimes they either get too happy or too busy or too-shocked-and-don't-know-what-to-do, then they saw the hugs and they were kind of late-ish for hugs, so they actually just touch their heads or something. HAHAHA aww...

Ha, I actually also really like when they fight or cheat or fall down. Hahahaha! Then the random guy would come up and show the red card while the football guy tries to defend himself... and fail. Nyehehe.

<

Not to forget, the funny faces they make. The videographer sometimes slowmotion those too. -___- No wonder when you google football or some football player's name you can see him/them playing really hard, by their faces. The faces can be so cute or so ugly or just simply funny. :D Or when they get angry or angry+sad when the other team goaled.

Okay enough. Good bye diary. I have so many drafts...

A picture is a fact #37

Best Bits of Project Alpha Season 2

noreply@blogger.com (FionaChan) — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 09:43:00 +0000

Dear Diary,

Wow, Season 2 of Project Alpha has officially ended! Can't believe it's ending already. It feels like it's never going to end.

These are the last 3 episodes + 1 bonus episode of Project Alpha.

For me, the best bits of Project Alpha Season 2 is, London. London London London London.. afbvkabfjasfasf London is my favourite city!! I love London, I love England, and I love United Kingdom! Wait I also love Europe. I am sooo jealous of the crew. Watching that makes me sad and jealous. Damn it.

Anyway, they featured a lot bloggers. I like seeing how the bloggers interact with each other in real life. We rarely get to see that, we know they're friends but we never get to see their interactions. Which makes Project Alpha even more worth watching. Of course, also how the bloggers are in real life. :D

Oh! The moment when the monkey bites Cheesie's phone! Oops, sorry!

There's an episode that took place at Kenny Sia's Level Up Fitness. I get to see his gym, and also the bloggers exercising! They were so cute! Oh and Kuching, sorry yours truly have never been to Sabah or Sarawak, even though my mum always go there, but I never get the chance to follow. :/

Not to forget, we get to see them playing football! Football fever eh?

Of course, there's more great moments that I can't recall right now (bad memory), so watch them all!
Thanks for the show! I'll be watching on hitz astro! Season 3, pretty please?

Project Alpha is presented by Adidas Action 3 and supported by P1 and MAS.

candyprison blogiversary on FionaChan's Day

noreply@blogger.com (FionaChan) — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 15:06:00 +0000

Dear Diary,

Today is my day. MY DAY! SERIOUSLY!!!
First of all (also the most important of all), *tries to control myself*

agfahfakufjbasfhgksfvh ASHTON KUTCHER REPLIED ME ON TWITTER hasfgkianbf hakl *catches breath* akjfaskhvfklasbfaskjbfaslfakjb *pauses* fjoabfjklsfhksjafafajsbfaslbj

*pauses for picture*

*unwillingly resizes the picture to fit blog*

MAD STARSTRUCK RIGHT NOW. This made my day! or week, or weeks, or month, or months! My life is now quarter-complete. HE SENT ME TO HEAVEN OMG!! With just one tweet. I'm ridiculous, I know.

*hears someone talking and turns around* What? What more? Who's Demi More? Wait, what do you mean you're shocked?

Just joking, I know and I like Demi Moore! :D

lol at the accounts that retweeted. Ignore Ashton's typo. It only made that tweet even more special. :D

Wait, I forgot this one.

It even got translated!!!! -________-

few hours later (to calm myself down)..

OK, what's the main topic of this post again? OH, oh, my day!

Today is my (and Syn Jie's) second blogiversary! I actually started blogging around 2007. I can't find a convincing post for the real date I started blogging though, unless anyone remembers what my first post was.

Then I closed the blog. :D I moved the original blog to another link, then I created a new blog with the same link, revamped my blog, and reopened. :D With Syn Jie (Josh Tan)!

Both of us changed our blog link once I think.

Thus, I get to share my blogiversary with good friend! :D

Happy 2nd blogiversary to candyprison and surferic-island!

Third. LOL I went to Maybank and banked in through the counter. I feel so adult! I have only banked in thrice (through cash deposit machine), and all 3 times failed! I had to trouble Patrin to bank in for me, without me. :( Thanks Patrin!

They're not very... bank-dummies-friendly, probably no banks are. Even filling out a single form was confusing. -__- They should put a guide thingy around the bank, just in case a bank newbie and dummy comes in. *nods* I'm serious. Not everyone can figure out how to work everything bank-related. Go make a VERY detailed guide already, on everything.

The girl I got was.. cold, unfriendly, smileless, slow and... boring. She even kind of ignored me. -__- Excuse me, I'm right here talking to you, give me some response so I know I didn't wear my Invisibilty Cloak by mistake.

Fourth should be.. watching Killers starring Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl! This is what made the 1st thing on this little list happen! It's a comedy-romance-action movie. I really love the movie! It's better than what I expected! Plus, today is the release day of the movie. I've never watched a movie on the release day, only other days, and premieres.

I was so focused on the movie I didn't really feel like eating the popcorn lmao. Of course I ate. Or maybe I didn't have the popcorn-mood. Then again popcorn can be really annoying with the "unpop"corn. They're like those uneatable seeds of a fruit.

Stupid cinema, it was really cold. While walking towards the cinema hall's exit, I struggled a bit to walk without falling down. Then we went to the toilet to warm our body up with the hand dryer thingy. :D They can be so incredibly useful, you know?

Fifth.. *cheeks burning with guilt*I splitted with Kritz and KM after shopping in Starbucks, so I could use their wifi for a while. Then I went to MPH Bookstore for something, and the staffs were really nice and helpful and friendly! Even though they couldn't (thus didn't) help much, but I'm really happy with their service. :D At least they tried! The guy who lead me to the right counter for that issue, saw me when I was leaving and asked how did it go (lol sounds like it was a serious matter, but it wasn't, of course). *touched*

Syn Jie, this is why I love calling big companies (unless they're famous for being arrogant), these people are really nice. Of course, you'd get some bad ones, but the awesome ones could always make it up. :D

Sixth. Packages for me, in my mailbox! I always love receiving them, but I don't trust Malaysia's postmen or custom people, I can't. They stole my packages before. *glares* Also, it takes forever for an oversea package to reach my mailbox!! It could reach Malaysia and get approved by the custom in 5 days, another 2 days to reach the mail centre, but 2 or 3 weeks to reach my mailbox! Seriously.

Fine, let's just say that's normal and okay, they have who-knows-what to check and etc. But dear Malaysia, stealing packages is low. I think I lost a few since I never receive them. *glares again* I hope they give mail thieves much bad lucks.

Okay, that should be all.. I'm not sure. I'm really sleepy right now. Overally, 4th of June 2010 is awesome! Mad awesome day! No one decided to ruin it for me like how someone did yesterday. Yesterday was supposed to be a day full of exam-free happiness. Thanks for ruining it!

Sorry to my darling friends that weren't informed or invited to this outing! *sends apology hugs* I didn't really care who what where yesterday, since all I wanted was to go visit the bank, as long as they have Maybank, I'm happy. Serious. I went there mainly for the bank and a friend to go to the bank with me, so I wouldn't get extremely lost (and insecure and lonely) in the bank. The movie was an add-on (for me).

xoxo

Birthday boys of the 2 June

noreply@blogger.com (FionaChan) — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 15:48:00 +0000

Dear Diary,

Happy Birthday Au Hau Nung and Justin Low!!!!

Ahn, I'm sorry for avoiding and ignoring you before and some time after the exams, because I don't want to risk giving away anything!

Oh, I was hoping that you'd cry when we surprise you! Not only you didn't, you didn't even put on a surprise facial expression. Pfft! Next time, try to put on a fake surprise expression to entertain us, make us feel more successful and less an failing-at-surprises-idiots please?

But TTH said that you're happy with the surprise, so that's great!

Oh and thank you Justin, for the birthday angpow. Hahahaa! Actually, was it 1 Ringgit or 50 cents? Anything.

p/s: I feel a little weird not having to blog everyday. I nearly blogged yesterday, out of this very new habit. I even went to the dashboard! Good thing I realised that blogathon is over before I wrote anything! :p

CDs In My Mailbox

noreply@blogger.com (FionaChan) — Sun, 30 May 2010 12:05:00 +0000

Dear Diary,

I must thank Sony Music Malaysia for letting me have this, and even snailmail it to me! :D Thank you!

What is this, you ask? Yes, of course, it's a CD. But it's not an ordinary CD. You cannot buy it outside. Not. For. Sale. :D Here's an -obvious- picture as a clue/hint.

It's really obvious now, isn't it? If you still do not know what CD by who, wow? I am too happy to not share with you anyway.

Well, promotion copy is not really the point here, but it's a bonus. I did not buy the CD woot.

It's an...

Woot! Autographed by Kelly Clarkson!!! Autographed! Autographed! *dances around* ha! CD + DVD!

I can smell her perfume from the CD, and feel her touchhh....

HAHAHA! Ahem, I did not smell the CD, that's creepy, and quite disgusting.

Even though they were nice enough to use bubble wrap, the casing did not do well. :'( I haven't try the CD and DVD yet (too precious!), but they should be fine. I don't really want to change the casing to a new one, lol.

No the post is not ending...
goodboygonebad.com sent me this CD to thank me. O.O He didn't have to!

Thank you again! and sorry with all the troubles to send me this. -__- I feel very guilty. Heh, I am not sharing the thank you note. It is kept safely with the CD though.

Nyehehe.

I actually have Paris Hilton's Stars Are Blind Promotional VCD, consists of only the video. It was a free gift from the CD shop. :D Guess they didn't like her.

external hard drive drove away from my computer

Dear Diary,

Well, Happy Sweeeeeeeet 16 to Cheng Li! :D

My (temporary) external hard drive is ridiculous. The lights are on, but I can't see the drive in My Computer.

Stupid external hard drive! The last one I used, same brand and maybe same model, had the very same problem. This and the USB cable problem. I don't even know how to describe the USB problem. OK let me try..

When I plug in the USB cable to my laptop, the thing does not light up. Then I pull it out a little, very little, and then it's connected. -__- I put it back in, normal-ish how we usually plug in our usb cables, then it can't work. What kind of problem is that?! Or when I move the external hard drive a little, disconnected!!!! Too sensitive OMG. This is ridiculous. I have always hated this EHD and I still hate it.

Need. A. New. One.

My classmates

noreply@blogger.com (FionaChan) — Fri, 28 May 2010 14:25:00 +0000

Dear Diary,

Diary, I believe I have not introduce you to some of my classmates. These classmates I'm introducing you to, they're smart, they're childish, they're boring, they're ridiculous, and they're funny. Just watch this video below.

See? See? The funny game they're playing!!! LOL!! How entertaining!!

PS: Pay attention to a guy dancing around 0:14!! HAHAHA. I hope he doesn't read my blog and sees this. He's going to kill me.

Update: what's with that thingy under the video? Any idea on how to remove it?

Kiss me goodbye, into the light

Dear Diary,

I'm really tired. I only had one hour of sleep today/yesterday night. If my brother didn't annoyingly wake me up rudely, and if my mother didn't force me to take my dinner, I wake up the next morning.

Since I'm already up, I might as well blog. Of course, then go back to sleep. Woot!

I'm a bit bored of A Picture is A Fact. I mean, too much random one picture post is too random. (lol) Especially since one random picture appear on daily basis. I should definitely post more haiku, that'll make my blog more... literature-y, and artistic. AHAHAHAHA.

I miss my random and not-very-related-but-somehow-still-related blog post titles too! I enjoy seeing random titles on my 'Recent Post' list, I really don't like it when they're filled with the same blog post title.

After blogathon, I should slow down the posting speed. -__- too much pictures appearing and too little pictures left to share.

By the way, my internet sucks. There's this site that I've been trying to load since afternoon. No one's having problem, but me.
