Soap !

Experiments are just nice, nicer when you did it with a bunch of friends. 


Our Chemistry teacher instructed us to conduct an experiment to produce soap. By following the apparatus and material list, we picked and took the required items. Ah, there they were. I like Chemistry very much, after Physics. I just like to mix this and that, then BOOM - another 'that' came out. How miraculous. I'm always fascinated by the work of science and its application. To be honest, I'm tired of theories taught without any practical work. That will be just like reading a book about flying an airplane without actually flying one. I like practical work or experiments very much as they are quite rare in my school. Teachers just don't let us do that much. So I was excited whenever there will be one.


I enjoyed every part of the experiment, including the chat with my friends to pass the waiting time. It was total fun. I enjoyed stirring, mixing the solutions, heating, cooling, filtration, crystallization, etc. Time flies, an hour of Chemistry just passed when the bell rang. Oh my, but I ain't going to recess until I made my soap, from olive oil and palm oil. We made soaps from both oils. Great. At last, we finished it. It smelled, soap-like. The touch was soap-like too. Okay, it was soap. Haa. Nice. 


I took part in a Physics quiz too. Don't think I did great. Hope for the best!


More experiments, please!

A blasting 40th STSL Annual Dinner

Well, I mean 'blasting' as in literally rocking the dance floor kind of blasting. Whether you feel the same way or not, I was happy. It was held in the Heritage Hotel's ballroom.

Oh man, I was surprised to see the crowd gathered in front of the entrance when I reached there. I was looking for my fellow buddies. They dressed up smartly. I can hardly recognize them without a second look. The girls were dazzling too, maybe hours of make-up did paid off, or maybe not. They were eye-catching as always. I found them by the corner, in front of the door, by the elevator - almost everywhere. Some were even playing in the elevator, up and down it went. Here he was, the head librarian Yi Xuan standing by the door looking great welcoming the guests, including me. I shook hands with him and congratulated everyone. Have fun!


The show was going to start soon. The ballroom was sparkling brightly. Well, maybe it was the shining crystal glass light above the ceiling or maybe it was the wonderful guests we had in it. Nice. The event was started with some video clips dated back from 37th until 40th - the newest one. The 40th video was splendid and funny. The RFAs and Kien Leong danced nice. Time-wrap. Dimensions crossed each other in hyperspace. Bah!


Next, it was like the never-ending of ceremonies, speeches and souvenir-giving sessions. It was nicely done and smiles on the VIPs' faces. They were happy too. Kee Min, Li Yong, Kien Leong, Weng Sie and Ting Fang were the MCs. Good job! There were sessions such as prize-giving, handover ceremony and performance by Li Yong with the electric guitar. He was awesome playing it, plus the touching ending. He's the man!


Im trying to cut this post short. So ain't gonna tell on the buffet dinner and all those weird stuffs happened then. XD


I was voted as the Best Comm with 58 votes. Thanks for everyone's support! I felt great. I will not forget what I had been through these years with you all. Old and new, it meant very much to me. You all made a place in my heart. 


The photo-taking session - we turned this upside down. Nobody went on queue or whatever. We went in groups of tens. Snapshots, group shots, flashes from different cameras would have lighten up the place even without the ceiling lights. XD 


Everything has an end, including the annual dinner. They went for second round. I wasn't going, waiting by the door. Oh man, how much I savour those moments.

My Last Duty Shift

im lost. Lost track of time. Bla bla bla.

Cheers. It's near the trial of my Form Five life. Gonna take the papers next month and then the final test - SPM at year's end. What a life! Half of the year passed and what I did was already uncountable. I can't really recall everything and pick up all those pieces of life-images to complete my life-drawing. What I can do, is only remember as much as I can, those memorable ones, important ones, unforgettable ones, amazing ones... wonders...

Oh yea. It was my last duty shift for the year. I'm gonna miss everybody, including my duty librarians, friends, buddies and companions. Honestly, those duty librarians can be aloud and chatterbox-like. They were cool and nice. They did their work nicely and happily. I don't think they like me much, especially my nagging. Hope you all won't mind. I appreciate the cooperation and joy with you all during the time, even though it was just 3 hours. The duty was relatively short but meaningful. Don't you all think so?

The first and last treat by me! Haa. Well, I bought boxes of pizza to treat all my duty librarians and my friends. I'm glad it was enough to fill everyone's appetite. The pizza was finished in a flash by a handful of hands once the box was opened. Oh my, the rate of 'reaction' was superb. Was it nice and fun? 

Tomorrow's AGM. Annual dinner's around the corner too. Looking forward to it. XD

Dickson's back!

What a week I had with my friends especially with Dickson who came back here all the way from Australia. As I remember, he had been friends with me since primary school. Nice. He went to Australia and came back for the first time. We had so many plans for him in the week. So many laughters and fun, to share every happy moments together. That's something wonderful.


At first, I received a text from him. But I was takin' a nap. Geez. Then, I had to call everyone for the meet-up. Then, it was me, Chuan, Dickson at Old Town Kopitiam near Ipoh field, chatting for about two hours. Ah, we had this conversation going on and on until my lips dried. Well, drinking the white coffee will help. That was it.


On Wednesday, we had an unexpected visit of Dickson to the school. Oh, he was like Mr.Popular. Haa. Crowds of students which are his friends chatted and meet up with him as he strolled around the school and into classes. I bet he felt nice and happy to be back even though our school is kinda stuffy. 


On Thursday, I thought it gonna be Burger King. But then I headed to Pappa Rich for the first time and had my first meal there. Wasn't that bad. We had a stroll across De Garden to Jusco. Ah, the traffic was like, 'hey, don't cross the road! the road's mine'. Drivers were so fast. Had to wait for the traffic lights. Movie time. We bought tickets for the Flirting Scholar 2 there. We chatted and went in for the movie, or rather freakin' funny comedy. That was great. I laughed at the jokes and stared at the screen when the jokes are too weird. HAA. In fact, we all laughed and watched with awe. We came out of the cinema with bright smiles on our faces. Nicee....


On Friday, time to play ball! oh man, geez, the basketball court had no hoops. Ah, Ren Chet took a football there. We played futsal in Meru instead. We had so much fun running up and down the place, kicking the ball flying over the sky, into the 'goal'. Nicee.. Meru was so nice and cooling. After the rain, the whole valley was like autumn. Great weather. Then, we had to go the clubhouse for bath. Geez, the freakin' fees. So we headed to Ren Chet's house for bath instead. His house was like huge and spacious. Full of gadgets and gizmo's. I like it. Haa. For dinner, we went back to the clubhouse. During the meal and after it, we chatted again on miscellaneous stuff, random ones. Dickson let us watch photos and even a view of his place through Google Map. Nicee...We ended the day with a nice and happy note. Gracious.
