what if?

Just as the title of the posts says, what if?
What if I was never here? What if all of this didn't happen? What if I never did left there in the first place and stayed there instead of coming here? What if I left? I don't know why but all these what ifs questions just struck me all of a sudden while I was looking at one of my ex-classmate's pictures on Facebook. Now, you must be thinking, what has an ex-classmate of mine have got to do with this. Before I start on his story, He will remain as he who shall not be name.

When he first came, it was standard 4 or 5, if not mistaken. Well, he was nice and all and he indeed did have some friends; but everyone teased him as he mixed mostly with girls only and as you know all of us were only 10 or 11 years old back then. I think he was pretty sad just that no one could really tell as we were all kids. People gave him multiple names from calling him a faggot to a sissy to a gay lord, basically stuff like that. I think he cried multiple times too but nobody really bother. I also remember seeing how his parent constantly scolding him in front of everybody but he always just keep calm and do nothing since he was raised by his single mother.

Well, that was back then for him, a couple of years ago. Now, he's in a really really great school and he seems really happy with his new friends and all. My point is, what if he didn't come to SSB in the first place? Will that undo all the bullying? What if he just went to that great school that he is in right now instead of coming here the first place? Will he just be a super nice and happy guy that has no scars? and that he has left, what about his friends? What and how do they feel? Do they feel that he's just another come and go friend or that he is a friend that they had cherished and will forget about him? You see, things like this are things that we will never know and maybe these things may just be the things that we will never want to find out.

Now to connect the whole story together, I was just wondering will I still be happy if I didn't come to SSB? That's one those things that I will never know and one of those things that we will never want to find out thanks to the cold truth.

This has nothing to do with nineteen-ninetyseven in any ways, I am fully grateful and thankful that my friends and I made this blog. This is just a rant post as I've been feeling pretty crappy lately at times. Thanks for reading through the whole post.

To end this post in a higher note, I shall present you guys these:

 Heart-shaped macarons -

The story of my birthday surprise

actually, the title quite perasan but OH WELL!
So. It was an early Saturday morning and I had to wake up early (not really) to go to school for extra class because my friends forced me too. So I showed up late. I showed up when 2 classes were over and it was time to go for 'break'.
Suddenly hor, my friend emo for no reason. I was like. WTF. And.. then..

I sat down in canteen with my friends. Actually they all acting QUITE suspicious. QUITE. Then, from behind, a few of my friends were holding something, (I looked even closer.. a CAKE?!), then all my friends, stood up, AND STARTED CONQUERING THE CANTEEN BY SINGING THE LOUDEST BIRTHDAY SONG. EVER!!! I think my glasses almost cracked and the building almost fell down. ALMOST. But not yet. That's why my school still intact.

Pictures. From DEBBIE'S FB!! :3 All credit goes to her!

me crying from touched-ness. I refrain from putting any other solo shots of me because I WAS CRYING IN ALL OF THEM AND LOOKING UGLY OH GOD ok

oh gd. my beautiful beautiful gd.

My lovely friends. I love them all so much.

My friends enjoying the birthday cake that, for once, is not baked by me. I'm quite surprised there were spoons because it is tradition by my friends to eat without any. Kinda. Almost.

Hey you readers out there! It's E-Lyn here. Today, I will be blogging about ' The History of nineteenninetyseven 1997'. Once upon a time, there were three girls named Amanda, Florence & E-Lyn. They were talking bout something, then Amanda suddenly came up with this bazaar plan and we were all like

then,we started talking bout CUPCAKES, COOKIES, PIES, LEMONADE etc. Then, we finally agreed with our plans! (we even talked about how to decorate our cupcakes,menus and all!) And so after school, three of us went to the nearest private cafe to discuss about our business plan. So impressing right, we were all 14 back then and we had this sudden urge to sell cupcakes! 

the only picture we have in the cafe.

The pictures below are all about the events we had before and so on.

SO here goes. Stayed back for librarian stuff today at school. THIS IS TO ALL THOSE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO SAYS I DO NOTHING BUT CRAP. I would add a picture of me doing the activities, but I looked like crap and I couldn't find any pictures of it yet.

Apparently while I was eating steamboat today, I suddenly got a call. Oh and before I answered the call, some stuff like splatted on me. so, yeah. 

Here's how the conversation went:

Paggie: EH AMANDA. YOU SEE ALREADY AH.
Amanda: SEE WHAT. WHAT YOU TALK. CHEWS FISHBALL.

Amanda: REARRY?!!?!?!??!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?234#@?$!?!?!?!?
Paggie: YAH. GO SEE YOURSELF LAH.
Amanda: I EATING LAH. HOW I SEE.
Paggie: Wait, I read for you.

AND THEN, SHE LITERALLY READ OUT THIS WHOLE THING:

AND THEN. I STARTED HYPERVENTILATING. (mind you, I am perfectly healthy, I just fan girl. a lot.)
AND I WENT ALL FAN GIRL AND LIKE. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN BY TYPING.

and then,  after I went back home and all, I went to see the blog post the Audrey posted since I couldn't really believe Paggie, since it's. Paggie after all. :/ AND WHEN I SAW IT. I GUESS YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED NEXT. I HAPPY DANCED. and hyperventilate at the same time. I think. I shall stop here now before I become too excited and end up not sleeping.

I think some of you are here from Audrey aka fourfeetnine 's blog post. :3 :3 :3

^ THAT'S ME!!!

I cannot quite contain myself. I'm just. So much compliments. :3 

Anyway. Things that has been happening with myself and ninetynineteenseven.

My school had a Carnival Day and me being a librarian, I opened a booth selling. I don't think I have to tell you what I was selling.

Me at the booth! I think I earned the Librarian board quite a lot of monet from the sale of my PIES and MACARONS! Not the famous amos cookies on sale. My macarons and pies were awesomer.

That's me when I came home. I am a pretty big fan of Big Bang who happens to have memorised their wikipedia page for my English oral exam with the pentaksir from kerajaan. HAHAHA. Ok next.

WHAT IS THAT I HEAR??

A CAKE THAT'S AWESOMER THAN THE ONES I BAKE??????

yes. amanda. there IS  a cake that is awesomer than the ones you make.

WHAT IS IT??

A STRAWBERRY MARSHMALLOW CAKE WITH GD'S FACE ON IT.

I am thankful to have such great friends.

Some cakes I have baked:

I made the cake but not the dirty tissue in the left side of the photo.

The picture of the cake means:

magical things happen around us everyday.

I don't simply make cake with no meaning wan!

My pink unicorn. It's so magical you can hear someone sing it now, right?

other happenings:

ok you might actually know about this bit felt like posting it again, AND RELIVE THE MOMENT!

the photographer is really good 0-0 ascentuated (or however you spell it) the awesomeness OF MY BAKING!!

Here's a closer look... to... my... RED VELVET CAKE!!

Basically this post is a lot a lot of photos about pastry to make you WANT SOME.

OH THOSE TIMES WHEN I MANUALLY STICKED THE PAPER ON TOP!! Now I got myself a CHOP!! I would put a photo of it here but I'm too lazy. I should make a 'evolution of the nineteenninetyseven packaging'

My friend asked me to try making cake pops. if you don't know what it is:

 should I??? Quite lazy to do actually.

Anyway. That's all for now AND I THINK THIS IS A FAIRLY LONG POST. OK bye.

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH

Pardon me for the title as I do not know what to name it.
OGEH. SO I GUESS I PRETTY MUCH LIED. Well, not really. Yes, I WAS planning to schedule a post but I ended up not doing it as I got carried away by other stuff(s) and forgot to do it. ):

So here's the stuff that has happened to us (me [Amanda], E-Lyn and Florence!) so faaaaar.

WARNING: SUPER LONG POST WITH PICTURES SPAM COMING RIGHT UP.

JANUARY 2012
Okay, I can't really remember what happened during January. I just know that it's the month that's everything so new to us again! School resumed back to normal and yeah. No more bazaar going for me. ): Sad me is sad. I don't know anything else about the month already. HAHAH. SO YEAH SKIP.

FEBRUARY 2012
