There was a businesswoman who just made a million dollars for an Arabian Oil Sheik. When she was leaving the Oil Sheik offered her Diamonds and rubies and a Silver-plated Rolls Royce, but she declined.
The Sheik insisted so she said that she just started to golf and maybe a set of golf clubs would be nice.
A few weeks later she received a telegram from the sheik. "So far I have bought you 3 golf clubs. I hope you aren't disappointed that only 2 of them have swimming pools."

the first day of school was exactly how i'd pictured it. predictable. nothing extraordinary. but i'm happy to be hanging out with my girls again. it's funny how we talk about the same thing every single time we meet, and never get tired of it.
but yesterday hadn't been all dull. i had my weekly dose of adrenaline at BODYCOMBAT class! i sent K.C. a text to tell him that i would be late 'cause i was from school and that he should start the class without me. but he said he'd wait. yay!
but i was already 10 minutes late. so upon alighting the bus, i ran all the way into the building and practically threw myself into the
studio where everyone had already been in their positions and waiting for me to fill mine. "everyone" however, had only been 8 people. including a newbie.
5 of the more gung-ho members and piz were unable to make it and i gotta admit i was a little disappointed and thought the class would be less fun.
boy, was i wrong! K.C. made up for the lack of "power" people with lots of awesome Power tracks and Combat tracks. it may not have been as fun as the previous classes but it was definitely more intensed. i found myself giving 200% and my muscles were probably shocked by the intensity they almost went numb halfway through a Combat track. the presence of a newbie probably motivated me to push myself harder too.
i remember how i first stepped into the class a year ago and almost gave up halfway 'cause the choreography proved to be too tough for me then. and how my body would start aching days after that. but i never gave up and now i can actually feel my stamina improving. yesterday's BODYCOMBAT had been immensely powerful and for the first time K.C. told me i did exceptionally well.
i'm elated.

school starts tomorrow. my second year. wow. time flies so fast.
i'm just a little excited to start school again after a whole month of break. there had been so much going on during that one month, I almost forgot I'm still a student. i'm determined to work on my punctuality (or lack thereof). i can do it. i know i can. father: early bird catches the worm...me: ...but the early worm gets eaten by the bird...heh.other than that, i'm looking forward to the reunion of the Lempeng Girls! our school is located at Lempeng Drive, you see. Very "glamourous", huh? Only with these girls can i get away with doing stupid & crazy stuff i'd otherwise never even think of. one thing people would first notice about us is that, in the canteen, all 9 of us would squeeze into a 6-seater round table. it's amazing how we manage to do that, considering we never sit still what with all the crazy-ass laughing at each other's stupid jokes. then you'll see the girls from neighbouring tables frown at us, and start to agree among themselves how freaking irritating we are. i'd say they're jealous 'cause we're having so much fun, while they're trying to stay all prim & proper 'cause "the guys are looking". hah. looking at how tight they wear their school uniform, it'll probably burst open the minute they let out a giggle. then, the guys would REALLY look. we're not obnoxious, really. we just don't think sitting around and doing nothing is very fun. what's wrong with playing a harmless game of UNO, Heart Attack or UNO Stacko if we think it's fun? okay, so we're a little loud....somewhat loud, but no one's complaining. or rather, no one's dared to come to us and complain. =) don't worry, we're really nice. we don't bite.
the father told us yet another lame joke (if you will) today.
father: kalau kapal terbang crash masuk laut, dia keluar kat mana?
- if an airplane crashes into the sea, where does it come out? -
me: *question mark*
father: keluar kat suratkhabar lah.
- it comes out in the newspaper LAH. -
