Unhappy Birthday

It's my birthday... my 13th one. You know, another time I would blog about height, new school, no friends, newbie-it-is- the awesome pantomime...
But not now.
Why?
Because it's an unhappy birthday.
I have a really really really bad flu.
With hacking coughs, high fever, runny nose, headache, exhaustion.
I stayed with my sick cousin and aunt for a day after I moved here for a day, and that led me to catch their awful flu.
Last night, I needed water so badly, my throat felt like it was being scratched out with glass. And there was only SPARKLING WATER. I mean, I can barely stand the stuff when I'm awake and well... but in my current condition... and my dad said there was no other water. Turns out there was. Oh, and the back of my mouth hurts. I hate being sick. I HATE HATE HATE it. >.<
*cough* *sniff*
And the temperature... I mean, I'm from the MALDIVES. As in, an average of 30 degrees Celsius.
ANd now I'm in a UK winter.
GAH.

I can't believe I said that.
Someone please, please please reply...

Stuck in the Airport for 5 Hours. Puchi Puchi, Lolle' pops and MLIA

                          Yup. Be darned, you annoying flight delays!!! I'm lucky I have my net-book and internet.
(Of which I usually ignore it's existence- help, anyone? How can I say that in proper grammar? Nerd, I know) The flight from Male' (NOT male, Male' capital of Maldives. With the little apostrophe, see? There is this true story about that... A woman travelling to Male' saw the sign for the mens bathroom, it read "Male" Said person, thought that it lead to the Male' departure gate, and they stepped in. This was one  of my way-too-many cousins. I think Anyway, what was I talking about? Oh yeah, I'm in a bracket...) was delayed, and when we got here (To Dhoha Airport, Qatar (Ghathar) in ARABIA. 
                  And although the plane had NOT TAKEN OFF YET, we were not allowed in, (and it said "Final Call. Not 'Gate Closed.') we figured it was because it would taken too long to load the luggage from one plane to the other. The next flight in at 5:30 P.M Dhoha time. So... five. hours. in. the. airport. in. this. cold. and. boredom. Time to log onto to nano, I hope someone is there!!! 
                About the other matter, the Puchi Puchi, that was from the time when I was in Singapore. I usually travel there quite a lot, and I was there a few weeks ago. And you see, I had this whole post planned and everything, and I was too lazy to post it ^^;; No time that the time when you are stuck and bored in an airport for hours to write a blog post. Anyway, there were no regular hotel rooms, so we stayed in another another suite room, and it was big. Huge. So, randomly, I yelled puchi puchi puh- CHI! well, chanted, more like. My sister joined in too xDD
               The lollipop- Lolle' Pop- matter was also in Singapore. Yet another family of cousins live there (They used to live with our family for... well, all my life till now) They go to Tanglin Trust School, I hear there are a few nano-ers over there. We went to their apartment, and my sister and mu boy cousin- call him Imree, played the gummy bear song. Wait- i need to backtrack a bit there. Okay, so Imree's sister Sammy, has lots of awesome books, so, naturally, when we were supposed to go shopping with our parents, I wanted to stay and read. In the end, I ended up 'babysitting' Imree and my sister. Don't get me wrong here, I do babysit- and properly, but if I had tried it with those two, they would have a fit. So... it was something like ignoring them and reading until Imree decided on a bed-wrestling match. This is where there are two people on a bed. And you have to knock the other person over.I challenged Imree to it, I won, about four times in a row. He wqas mad about being bet by a girl- thats why we had to do it over and over again. To be fair, he is younger and smaller than me, BUT before you say it was an unfair advantage- he actually knows how to fight, and he practices, and he is a bit stronger than me AND he ha beat his sister, Sammy who is older than me.
             Then we ran around the apartment with me trying to catch Imree to use his dart gun for target practice. We ended up with my sister turning on the Gummy Bear song, and we listened. Okay, there are two or three, the one i mean goes "I'mma gummy bear, a yummy gummy... etc...." 
              The whole day, my sister had been longing for lollipops, and we had lollypops the night before AND she was currently having a lollipop. So I started sining along to the tune "Lollypop Lollypop Lolly Lolly lolly lolly lollypop." Alternating with "Lo lay pop" and "lollypop." 
             In case you are for some reason interested in these mad ramblings I'll also mention that all this ended up in mopre chasing for the dart gun until our parents returned and even then, we were running about. Imree's mom filmed it, but I think Imree made her delete it. Darn. xD 
            The next bit is supposed to be about MLIA, I know, but the tips of my fingers are freezing off, so I'll leave you with another gummy bear song. (To the tune of the Alphabet Song/ Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Whatever. Same tune.)
           A B C D E F G,
                Gummy bears are after me
          One is red and one is blue
                  One is trying to steam my shoe
          Now I'm running for my life
                  'Cause the red one has a knife

Please ignore grammar mistakes, I'm half asleep, needing to go to the bathroom and freezing.

Eid, Malaysia, Schools, Deathly Hallows, Wordy's Triumph.

Wishing all of you a very happy Eid, and sending prayers to all the Muslims in Pakistan who can't make it to hajj this year.
                    Yep, I'm in Malay. Visa problems. I should really explain/type more, but I hardly get anytime on the computer... My sister is constantly hogging it, or trying to make me play this game for her amusement. Said game is her latest obsession. I don't like it that much. It's called Sushi Cat.
                   Anyway, we are having troubles with the Visa to go to study at UK, (The person who gives out Visa's is a TROLL. Or possibly and ogre... I can back that up, but that would mean details, I don't want to bore anyone who may be here to death.)
                   So we need a "Plan B." Which would be to enroll in a Malaysian school. I really like it over here, Malay is one of my favorite countries. My father wants to get me in a good school. We have been to one already... I liked it. It has a Canadian education system, and that means 70% of my grade will be from my coursework/classwork. Just 30% (If that much, it might come from a project or something.) Will be from an exam paper! Which suits me just fine. I tend to do well in the year and have my mind go blank during exams. Dad, on the other hand, does not like the school. He said the person who gave us the introduction about it (call her S)  was talking like she was marketing the school., and late he said they were treating the students like "products." I don't understand how he reached that conclusion though... And to make matter even more complicated, that school can only accept me, not my evil little sister (I'll post on her evilness later. A bit short on time right now)
                 There is another school too, but they have a British system, thing about them is that they can accept me AND my evil sister... Darn it.
                 Now. On another note..... I'M SEEING DEATHLY HALLOWS IN ONE HOUR CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!?!?!?! I'm dying, thinking how I might miss it. <.<
                 Oh, and congrats to Wordy, who HAS REACHED 50,000!!!!!!!!!!! =D
                  Though I do feel a bit annoyed because if I had not got serious Writers Block, I might've (<-- I know it's not a word) But this is awesome for Wordy! *glomps wordy*
         Oh, and ('m posting this after Eid, though I wrote it on Eid.

Nanowrimo Site Bugs- Lost one thousand words

The bugs are driving me NUTS! But I have to wait and be patient, after all, Nanowrimo has a one man tech team. See, apparently the 4 servers arent communicating =/
It's messing up my word count too!
And yup, I lost 1000 words, by forgetting to save! Now for the rest of the month, I will be thinking that I could have been one thousand words forward.
=(
Oh well, and sorry for not posting much, busy with nano.

Nanowrimo Dreams

                So, I had my first nano-related dreams xD
Well, the first was about ALOHA, can you believe it? I need to link her this post. =P
Okay, so I meet Aloha at a shop, I think it was a mall. We meet and I ask her what her name was, and she says, "Aloha." So then I say, I'm from nanowrimo too." And I wouldn't tell her who I am....

In the second one, I think I was  human with the Clan cats in warriors, not sure whether I was a human or a cat in that dream. In it, Graystripe dies, and I want to bring him back to life, and starclan say that only a nano-er can do that.

x)
Proof I am addicted to nanowrimo.

November First

                     And we're off! All posts promised earlier, will be delayed to the end of Nanowrimo. Sorry, but I'll be writing like  a nut. I was allowed to write just one sentence last night at 12. After I finished happy dancing and *eeeeeeee-ing* in my mind of course... I dont have much of a kick off, but I'm going to do my best not to die during this Nanowrimo. I think my WCG will be 15,000 words. I might increase it though....depending on how the month goes. (Oh, you probably thinks that is a little WCG, but its harder than it looks and I'm suffering inside and all that yada too.) 
                      My plot this year is crazy, and so far only Sam (WordsToSay) knows it... I might post it later. 
Anyywaaayyyy, good luck all you nano-ers!
((must-----write......more----)
Oh yeah, and my posts in nano will probably be more insane than usual.

Walking Ceremony.

This probably make no sense whatsoever to non Maldivians. So I'll explain. Whenever a baby is old enough they are placed on a coconut, (while being held) they, (of course) slip off and that is there ifficial first time walking/on the floor. Then we eat coconuts. *yummy* ((Ok, it's like, not hardened coconut, the kind with water and...Heva in it.. Heva is...in english, I guess, the fleshy stuff?)) The ceremony is usually on - WAIT.

Hiyya

       Hiyya! i'm Tigers Eyes, or Winnie, or T.E, Whatever :) I do  NaNoWriMo* and I'm a novelist and an author I love writing and reading, I'm so addicted to reading that my mom and dad said I shouldn't read so much, and I got banned from bringing books to school!
       I'm random, weird, and somewhat crazy. so don't expect all the posts to be lah-di-dah and sane. Don't say i didn't warn you! Oh, and I hate HTML, so complicated!
     Oh and  narrate my life t myself sometimes in 3rd person, as I was recently shocked to find out, others do as well.
     I've attempted and failed blogging loads of times, I think it was since I was 9! I don't remember how old I was when I wrote my first book, embarrassing, I know! Around 10 or 9...
     See, thats the thing with introduction blog posts, you write it, but you can't put in anything much thats interesting. So. Yeah.
