I am feeling rather down these days. There are thousands and millions of authors... how am i gonna be a very popular and everyone-knows-you kinda author, like J.K Rowling, Charles Dickens or CS Lewis?HUGE TIP FOR BEING A PRETTY GOOD AUTHOR(from www.cathycassidy.com. do visit!
* Read lots... you'll learn about plot, style, narrative and dialogue as you go!* Try writing 'in the style of' a fave author. 'Trying on' different styles can help you find your own voice.* Write as often as you can - nothing beats practice! Stories, poetry, journals, reports, it all counts!* Write about what you like/care about - it'll show in your work!* Keep a notebook handy to play with ideas or write down daydreams/inspirations.* Don't expect overnight success - it can take a long time to come! Don't compare yourself to others, either, you may end up feeling discouraged. Enjoy writing for its own sake and see every story/poem as a step on the way to being a better writer.* Be a people-watcher and a daydreamer - that's where I get all my best ideas!* Believe in yourself - and go for it!
OK! I guess this load of tips can do for now.

I got back my report book a few weeks ago and mum wasn't very happy with my results. I wasn't too. I did not top the class like last semester and i am feeling very depressed.i did very badly for my eng composition but i want to be an author!!! How am i to succed, can you telll me? i feel very sorry and very... you know... down. i've let mum down. i guess i did not work hard enough this time round. Mum also said i should not write compos in this story-like way, where i use shorter sentences and spell word wrongly (duh) (:
I still got to go to speech day although i did not get a prize. i performed in the choir instead. it was so scaring. Luckily, i didn't have stage fright like yoyo in the 9pm show, if not i would have withered there and then. *urgh*. The thought of it still makes me feel.... like retching. Miss Tan, the guest of honour, Mdm Pang and all the VIPs staring at me... you know... that feeling. petrified and nervous.... (i am not being patheic) this is the truth, believe or not.
But this is a very very good news. pssssssssssssssssssssst... ... guess wat... we are are are comfirmed going to Sunway Lagoon and Genting. i feel happy!!! i feel lik dancing yeah! Sad thing is... ... the holiday to S.W is many days, let us say weeks away. But at least we still get to go... yeah!
dad is going... quite comfirmed even more yeah! it would feel safe, warm and fun and nice to walk down the streets as a happy family!!!
I can't wait!!! <33>

Heyyas! I have been rather busy these days, so i haven't got much time to post. Life is so unfair. Guess what !? ~ i've got h/w ; a chin compo and a math w/s. My teachers are all potty. hello, the exams are juz over and they just come and torture me and make my spend and sort of waste my time on h/ws when i wnat to write my novels?:0 :) one super gd news. I am positive and 100% super positive we are going to Sunway Lagoon for a holi!!! Yipee!!! ~ Dad might not be going ; has to attend to a very important client. Anywaes, if dad goes it is a total waste of money... etc: like he scream for the viking to stop 1 and a half yrs ago... and takes ewww games like teacups and ferry's wheel and all those baby stuff? But dads can be fun too, dad always breaks the ice but cracking somewhat clownly jokes; not funny at all but at least he tries hard... and i can't wait for the 5th, the date i reckon we are going. i hope to get a copy of a s.w brochure from sis. She isn't like... really zealous to give me it... unless i bribe her... :D
Sunway Lagoon... here i come!!! ~~~ xp

Today is Deepavali, and so , there is a public holiday!! I have just watched a rather, i mean very funny movie and i laughed till my sides hurt. Lunch was... ... yum! It was some spicy food got from my uncle and aunt house yersterday. It was heated and baked, so the food was still rather nice and crispy.( the bread)Anyway, uncle and aunt and eldest cousin's house was quite small. i thought it was huge at first, as the entrance was rather grand. There were many rocks at the doorstep, probably to message feet.
The house was so stuffy and there seemed to be no windows.( although there were) There were tons of wardrobes and suprisingly, there was a secret one, which i thought was the wall. hawhaw. Cousin's room was so small, my gosh, and there was even boxes under her weeny table and even a piano!!! !!! Her bed was low and sagging.
As usual, we reached home sweet home at almost midnight. My watch was chimming madly. Actually, to be home at 12 is super early. Other days we come back at even 1 OR 2!!!
