Miss Fiona

last night, the seniors organized class night which is basically a night to conclude senior year. we had a skit, slideshow and prophecies. the skit we had this year was hilarious, basically seniors act out characters consisting teachers who are ‘interesting’. making fun of them. super funny.

the row of ‘teachers’ and our ‘award presenter’ in red.

then we had our prophecies read out. so, basically they predict your ‘future’ based on your personality or your idiosyncrasies. and guess what mine was? “FIONA GAN-is Miss Malaysia, becomes a lawyer, gets married, takes care of her husband and beats Oprah/be in Oprah”. I’m not too sure about the last part but it was good i thought. funny.

i look like a ghost here somehow. but anyway,we watched a slideshow after that. our baby pictures and then our current picture. what a transformation for everyone, i must say. and then pictures of them from middle school, to high school and finally senior year. very sweet.

and i’m glad i came here to experience this.

headed to the cafeteria after everything ended and what in the world is charlie doing?

love our senior shirt. all our signatures are on the back on the number 09.

the girls who worked hard for this. thank you.

charlie and i in the backseat. on my way home till…

alie had this ‘brilliant’ idea of jumping of the bridge into the lake. at 9.30 in the night. with our normal clothes on. so spontaneous. so exciting. and we all had to agree. it’s all or nothing. so, i decided what the heck, 2 weeks left, go for it. the old me would have just made a huge fuss and stayed in the car. it was fun i’m glad i did it. something to remember haha. the lake was about 10 feet deep and the distance from the bridge to the water surface is about 10 or 12 feet. alie and i hold hands and counted 5,4,3,2,1 so many times before we finally had enough guts to blast off. the guys didn’t think we would actually jump off. but we did. lol. in our panties and camisole. drenched wet. sickkkkkkkkkkkk.

drenched in the car. charlie’s expression is sickkkk. he calls this the photo bomb where you make weird faces like that behind the person taking it.

charlie complained about him being skinny. seriously? he hasn’t seen what’s really ‘skinny’ then.

yea yea all wet. now what am i gonna say when i go home and they open the door to see me like this? lmao. so i decided no way, im putting my pants on before i get in the car.

when i got home, my host dad said “you look wet.  very wet.” haha and i went up to my room and took this pic. damn right i look wet. and showered. hot bath.ahhhhh. the best ever.

peace out.

playing around with my webcam.

-simple pleasures are life’s greatest treasures-

since it’s spring break now, thought i’d share a few shots from school, basically random stuff.

my school here is neither a huge one nor an elite school. it is rather small and closely knit. there are no big competitions or amazing tournaments. it has what a typical average high school has.

but it is its mediocrity that has allowed me to experience a whole different perspective of what it feels like to be an american student. its engaging classes have provided me a renewed outlook on everything in general. most of all, its occupants have inspired me through their simple acts and genuine thoughts.

the title says it all. seriously, all my respect for olympic runners or even if you’re just a very athletic person. because i am not! get it? yeah there you go, fiona is not an athletic person at all. all she likes is brisk walking, yoga and tennis. though i’m not good at tennis cos i haven’t played like in  forever. hyperbole again but oh well we use that every single day. i will lose every race on the field, really.

today i went for my first track practise and i am exhausted. there are so many reasons as to why i made that decision and it was mainly due to how i felt after the 2 hour run. first of all i have never, note the word NEVER participated in a race throughout my life. LIFE. see that? and now you put an 18 year old grown up, stiff bones, girly girl on a super athletic mode and this is what you get. out of breath. literally. it was so hard for me to breathe, it wasn’t funny at all at the moment. i was almost tearing up due to the streches and the extreme pain and fatigue i felt. plus, i have scoliosis. yes, people i have scoliosis and that is so sad but i’m learning to cope with it and not be too judgemental. after all, the causes have not been identified and it might be due to genetic reasons because my mum has it too. only that mine is more severe as it shows more, probably because i’m more of a bony person. so, i’m quitting tomorrow and shall be taking yoga lessons next monday onwards. now, this is something i actually am really excited about and looking forward to. i really liked it the last time i did it plus this will help with preventing my spinal curvatures from worsening. it won’t cure but it will help treat and prevent. i hope it will help. and yoga is good for relieving stress and good postures. totally what i need. absolutely! now, i am so pumped up about the benefits of yoga. i have read that some people think yoga actually causes more harm to your back and stuff, but i would really like to give it a try. so, guys i will be doing this.

1. although i will be nowhere near this pro.

at least i won’t have to look like this anymore.

2. i think i looked worst, with red legs and hands cos it was so cold and windy and rainy.

3. oops my bad i’m just not a runner.

march 16-20 is the spirit week of MRHS.

monday-pajama day

tuesday-tacky tuesday

wednesday-color day

thursday-tropical thursday

friday-school color day

the point of this whole event is to show your school spirit or some say class spirit. i don’t know. i’m just glad to be part of the experience. judging from a very malaysian perspective, this is very refreshing. after all we don’t see malaysian kids going to school in pajamas, do we? neither do we get the chance to see teachers roller blade. haha. very FUN. okay, let the pictures do the talking.
