SPM

2011-03-25T17:01:00.000+08:00

After those months of preparation and hardwork, we did our best in the SPM last year. We put our hearts and souls into it. Undeniably, everyone tried their very best.

I felt proud of myself. I did great. OMG, I can't believe it, especially the subject that had been haunting me. My friend, we tried our best. We should be proud of ourselves no matter what. :) Guys, lets fly into the future. Keep in touch btw.

That's me. LOL

Gambateh!

Relieved

2011-03-01T13:48:00.000+08:00

I found some spaces to breathe now. I'm relieved that the test was over.

I never thought a car test could make me feel that nervous. I feel nervous when I was waiting for my turn, spending my time looking at cars one after another. The weather was hot even I was sitting under a tree. Butterflies in my stomach all the way until my turn, weirdly I didn't feel nervous when I was in the car. I felt nothing when I was doing all those car test. I guessed it was just the plain idea of waiting made me nervous. Oh my, why I have to wait that long time for the test...

Passed, now I'm gonna sharpen my driving skills further. As they said, driving comes from experience and practice. So let it start. =)

2011-02-21T21:57:00.000+08:00

I left this blog 'alone' again.

Owh man, I had no idea to blog. Perhaps it was just not my habit to blog yet.

Congratulations to all as STPM results had been announced. 12 students from my school got 4A. Nice job!

I wonder how well will I do in SPM. Hmm, we'll see. I am still waiting for the exact date of SPM results announcement. All the best!

Reviving this blog soon. (I guess)

2011-01-19T16:44:00.000+08:00

These few months seemed too much for me to just relax. Although I was learning to drive, it didn't fill up most of my time. Days crawled like snails. Ah, so boredom kicked in.

Get a part-time job? Well, I think I will wait and hang along for awhile. That can wait, right?

Well, some of my friends went to further study this week or so. KL or wherever, I am sure that you all can face every challenges and hurdles with resilience and determination. Memories still preserve every bright smile and laugh. Make sure to visit when you're back. =)

Eh, anyone? Suggest something for me to do during this long period of time.

The search for other existence should be continued.

2011-01-11T14:22:00.000+08:00

NASA spots smallest planet yet discovered outside Sun's solar system - CNN.com

Even it was just a tiny exoplanet compared to other large exoplanets found in the past decades, scientists are really working hard to find the closest planet with Earth-like environment. Credits to them.

I believe we are not alone in this super vast universe or multi-verses. Moreover, out of all those galaxies, there must be other existences. To find a planet as an alternative habitat, it is a future task. In the not distant future, that may be a reality or still a dream in every man's mind. However, we won't make it become a reality unless we dream on and believe in what we dream.

Sometimes, things don't just pop out in front of you and present themselves. Things remain hidden are waiting for us to discover. Although men had discovered many stuffs in the past decades, I believe there are still more stuffs yet to be discovered. The exploration of new knowledge is a never-ending journey. So I'm gonna equip myself with all the basic 'ammo' before I set on my journey to the furthest place, who knows where I end up in. =)

Walk and brace yourself.

The Difference between Years

2011-01-10T14:20:00.001+08:00

The first week of 2011 just ended, not long after 2010 ended. In fact, time flies regardless of what I do. So what can I do? Try to stop time? Life is an endless run with time as your companion.

So what was the highlight in your first week of 2011? Anything funny or worth-sharing? I'm bored. It would be nice if anyone out there in the world wide web shares some of the happenings with me. No harm sharing, right?

A brand new year is here. Well, the planet Earth still turn, the Sun still rise and set and the Universe still whisper in an unique way. There is a variety of knowledge wandering around in the vast world, waiting to be discovered. It's not like you can see, touch or feel them. However, we will see them through in time. Be patient.

The difference in years is nothing. In terms of time, there is a difference. From another perspective, what really do matter if it's 2010 or 2011? Everyone is still the same. Time and the difference in years do not change who you are and what you do. Those values are in your hands, not time's. So don't blame time for the things you did or should have done. Learn from your past and look forward into the future. Do not have the mindset that you can repeat your mistakes in the past years only because now it is a brand new year. Some people change through the course of time. Well, I agree we all do. The change is still in your hands. Whether to be better or worst, you decide. Whether to start an argument or make peace, the decision is up to you. You decide what to change and what to improve. You are in control, not anything else. The difference of 'you' in this year and last year is independent of time.

One of The Few Steps

2011-01-07T14:14:00.000+08:00

Undang test uh. I did the 5 hours course and the computer test. I passed the first part, now it's time for me to learn driving. Honestly, the test was more on testing your patience in waiting rather than doing the test. I spent more time waiting for my turn than finishing it. =)

I still need to wait for my turn. Gotta learn driving soon. It seems fun and nice to drive. As I waited there, I watched people drove and passed by. They seemed to be enjoying themselves. Okay, I ain't gotta wait anymore. Haa.

Another class of 16 hours period long is waiting for me. Endure it, then I will see the way. Ah, I feel like driving dy. =)

The Last Day of 2010

2010-12-31T21:31:00.000+08:00

Ah, I'm so 'detached' from my blog lately. I haven't been around to fix it, update it, decorate it or whatsoever. Now that I have time, ought to tidy up a bit. =)

Ah, smile at how time flies. I'm walking at the speed of human limits while time is travelling at the speed of light. I can't chase it, just end up like a boat, adrift in its flow.

Nothing seems to bother me now. I was too relaxed dy. Gotta learn driving soon. Tonnes of stuff waiting for me, I think.

A lot had happened in 2010. So I gotta miss it and those years before it too. Look at how time takes a toll on someone, how time shifts the world, how time shapes a person. It's part of the history soon.

So now it's time to enjoy the last day of 2010 and embrace the coming of 2011. Wish that 2011 will be better than 2010, even though 2010 was good enough. Anticipation uh.

Nice trip

2010-12-23T22:41:00.000+08:00

I had a nice trip with great experience. Awesome people with fantastic views lighten up the trip. I felt relaxed.

After the tensed up exam month, it was really a nice timing for the trip. It loosened me up for the end of the year. Gotta miss it though. Blog about it when I'm free.

So my holiday is a few months long till the day that results will be out. What to do?

Guys, plan some stuffs. Haa. Thinking...

Long Live by Taylor Swift

2010-12-08T23:11:00.000+08:00

I said remember this moment
In the back of my mind
The time we stood with our shaking hands
The crowds and stands went wild
We were the Kings and the Queens
And they read off our names
The night you danced like you knew our lives
Would never be the same
You held your head like a hero
On a history book page
It was the end of a decade
But the start of an age

Long live the walls we crashed through
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders
One day we will be remembered

I said remember this feeling
I passed the pictures around
Of all the years that we stood there
On the side-lines wishing for right now
We are the Kings and the Queens
You traded your baseball cap for a crown
When they gave us our trophies
And we help them up for our town
And the cynics were outraged
Screaming this is absurd
Cause for a moment a band of thieves
In ripped up jeans got to rule the world

Long live the walls we crashed through
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders

I'm not afraid
Long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
I was screaming long live the look on your face
And bring on all the pretenders
One day we will be remembered

Hold on
Just spinning around
Confetti falls to the ground
May these memories break our fall
Can you take a moment, promise me this
That you'll stand by me forever
But if God forbid fate should step in
And force us into a goodbye
If you have children some day
When they point to the pictures
Please tell them my name
Tell them how the crowds went wild
Tell them how I hope they shine

Long live the walls we crashed through
I had the time of my life with you
Long, long live the walls we crashed through
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders
I'm not afraid
Singing long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
Long, long live the look on your face
And bring on all the pretenders
One day we will be remembered

Oh yea, Long live is simply magical. Everyone should listen to this! =) Fairytale feel!

The Track

2010-12-05T19:50:00.000+08:00

Back on track, the right track.

After a few days of relaxation, it's time to go back on track.

Enough of fun, it's time to tense up a bit.

We're half-way there. So be cool and face the challenges ahead with wit and perseverance. Nothing can stop us if we move on.

Gotta make this short. =)

American Music Awards - Taylor Swift Performance

2010-11-26T22:53:00.000+08:00

'Back To December' remixed with 'Apologize' a bit. Nice. ♥

Taylor Swift New Look - Hot as always!

2010-11-26T12:15:00.000+08:00

Hair Highlights | Gallery | Glo

Oh yes! Taylor Swift decided to change her look as went for the straight hair and bangs. Great. She is looking hot and pretty as always. Nice.

That's pretty nice, even better when she sang at the AMA. She won the Country Female award and performed a fantastic 'Back To December' remixed a bit with 'Apologize'. How creative and nice!

Her newest album 'Speak Now' is one of the fastest selling album in these few years dy. Oh man, I want to get my hands on it. Haa

Go girl.

Weirdo' Time

2010-11-18T12:13:00.000+08:00

Before the arrival of SPM, I'd decided to blog. Wasn't I supposed to be studying hard like the others now? Well, maybe I'm not the others. Just different, perhaps.

Ah, I groaned at how time flies. I watched my buddy Dickson graduated in the photos uploaded to the internet. My buddy, how cool-looking. And I'm sitting here like a fool waiting for time to pass. Now, I moaned at how time crawls. I want to hit 'fast-forward' and get it all over now. I'm so eager to take the papers on now.

Hey weirdo' time.

Can you be any faster? What I thought was time had mixed up with space just like what Einstein said. Gash, I feel like warping space-time.

Hey weirdo' time.

Can you be any slower? I miss school and my friends altogether. I miss the time we shared and precious moments of friendship. I want to relive it.

Whatever time is, you will be my friend. I want time to be on my side, even down the nanoseconds.

High school

2010-11-13T12:03:00.000+08:00

High school uh. Yesterday was the last day of Form 5 in Sam Tet, technically. So this is it uh?

Winding the clock fast-reverse, I flashed back all those memories in high school. Sweet, bitter, awkward moments flooded my mind yesterday. While I enjoyed myself in the graduation ceremony, I nearly cried. Tears of joy and reluctance nearly dropped. I was over-excited.

Looking back my own 'history book', I was just a little kid back in my first year here. I was just wandering around the school with my friends and thought it will never end. And I still think so. Friendship will never die, even if we are separated. Those who had been in the same class with me or whatever events with me will be my friends. Even though I just had a few talks with some of them, not much, still you are a part of my life, a part of my own 'history book'. I etched those memories in my head, and there is not a button to delete them.

Do you all still remember the days when we smiled and laughed? When we faced challenges together? High school was ever vibrant. I watched my friends come and go, including those who went to Australia and Singapore. Honestly, I enjoyed the moments even though it was just five years or less. Knowing everyone of you is one of the best things that ever occurred in my life. You made my high school lively and wonderful. We laugh, we joke, we fight, we argue, in the end, we are still friends. Don't you agree?

Friends are part of my high school life. They motivated and helped me much. They kept me away from boredom all the time. When we had classes until it was too much, we had joke session or so-called 'blow water meeting'. During the fifth year, I had a fantastic family of 5S1. We had joke sessions, SAW trailers, 5S1 mini-olympic games (ping pong, tennis, soccer) and boys talk in class. We study smart rather than study 'dead' meaninglessly. We study hard, play hard, joke hard, laugh hard till our stomach hurt. Ah, how I enjoy walking along the corridor back in school, bumping into friends from some of the classes in Form Five and chatting with lots of them.

Too much to say, anyways all the best in the coming SPM. Lets study smart.

Lets keep in touch.

Nice knowing you all. =)

Taylor Swift spills the secret of her success - Entertainment - DNA

2010-11-08T12:36:00.000+08:00

Taylor Swift spills the secret of her success - Entertainment - DNA

Oh yea. I found this article in the Internet. Nice written article on Taylor Swift. That's the way to go for the young country pop princess!

The driving forces of her songs are one of a kind. No wonder her songs can move me much and create tornado in my mind. It's amazing that she can turn hardships and hurdles into motivation, then write such beautiful songs. She has the glowing aura and energizes me.Yeah!

I'm gonna learn from her, but not writing songs. I'm going to chase my dreams regardless of the hardships and challenges thrown at me. I'm haunted, but now scared away. Go!

Billionaire?

2010-11-08T11:44:00.000+08:00

People are going on facebook more than often nowadays. My friends, you guys should tweet, blog, and do other stuffs. Most of them are in facebook rather than twitter and bloggie.

Out of random, I clicked 'The Social Network' and watched it. I was amazed by Mark's IT skills. He is the founder along with his friends. All of the wonders started from Harvard. Facebook is such a huge success and global hit since then. Now, he is the youngest billionaire in the world. How nice. I wonder, 'can I be one?'

Believe. I'm trying real hard for that day to come.

So social networks are like trending nowadays. People check on their facebook page more than clicking on wikipedia dy. Right?

I'm just out of stuffs to write. My blog is kinda 'dead'. Tryin' hard to revive it. =)

T.Swift songs are still creating tornado in my mind. =)

Dear John

2010-11-07T19:15:00.000+08:00

Long were the nights when my days once revolved around you
Counting my footsteps,
praying the floor won't fall through, again
My mother accused me of losing my mind,
but I swore I was fine
You paint me a blue sky
and go back and turn it to rain
And I lived in your chess game,
but you changed the rules every day
Wondering which version of you I might get on the phone
tonight
Well I stopped picking up, and this song is to let you know why

Dear John,
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress,
cried the whole way home.
I should've known

Well maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame
Maybe it's you and your sick need to give love then take it away
And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors who don't understand
And I'll look back and regret how I ignored when they said "run as fast as you can"

Dear John,
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress,
cried the whole way home

[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/dear-john-lyrics-taylor-swift.html ]

Dear John,
I see it all, now it was wrong
Don't you think 19 is too young to be played by your dark twisted games, when I loved you so?
I should've known

You are an expert at sorry,
and keeping lines blurry
Never impressed by me acing your tests
All the girls that you run dry
with tired, lifeless eyes
cause you burned them out
But I took your matches before fire could catch me,
so don't look now:
I'm shining like fireworks over your sad, empty town

Dear John,
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress,
cried the whole way home.
I see it all now that you're gone

Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress wrote you a song
You should've known
You should've known
Don't you think I was too young?
You should've known

Taylor Swift is back with a brand new album 'Speak Now'. Plus there's a deluxe edition. Haa. I'm going on a T.Swift songs' marathon. =)

I felt something while listening to this song then checked out the lyric. Sad feel, but nice written song. I wonder who is the 'John' written by her. Ponders. Go listen!

5S1 Awesome Class Party

2010-11-02T19:40:00.000+08:00

Looks like high school is going to come to the end eventually. Maybe it's not the end for all of us, but it's certain that we will go our separate ways and embark on a new journey. This is the crossroad of our life, another turning point, which we will look back after years and say, 'Ah, look back at that time. We were crazy etc.'

Time flies. There goes another year in planet Earth. Earth is like 4.5 billion years old. We were only here for a billionth fraction of that life-span. Life's short, too short to waste time. Although it's just a short period of time, we build strong bond of friendship.

5S1 had its awesome class party. It was awesome in a sense that the support and devotion everybody gave to make it a blast. We are a team and we will always be a team. It was a nice poolside barbecue party. It was raining intermittently but we still had some problems at first. We started the fire and lit the charcoal up with Henry's cool torch. Nice. I called it, 'The Flamethrower'. The music was rocking the place too as we waited the others.

BBQ was nice as we chatted or barbecued the chicken wings and bacons. Flames and steam warmed up the place and grilled the food. Domino pizza was tasty. We chatted and joked around all the time. I wanted to jump into the pool so badly. Ah. Champagnes were popped open and smiles, or rather shouts everywhere. Friends for life. The atmosphere was joyous and wonderful. Letting our faces warmed up by the grill's heat, we smiled and laughed.

5S1 buddies, you guys are awesome. Thanks for the joined birthday celebration for me and Guan You. I was touched by you guys. Sweet. Haa. The blueberry cake was delicious. Thanks again! I will remember that for life.

Friendship is one of the greatest lessons I learnt in high school. My friends, be brave to chase your dreams.

Clock's tickin'

2010-11-01T00:19:00.000+08:00

Buddies of Form 5, it's exactly 23 days to the first day of SPM. Don't panic.

We should start working hard and fight for what we want. Don't give up easily. Don't be lazy too.

Everything comes to an end eventually. For some of us, high school is near its end. Cherish the days left. We will live through it and might as well enjoy the days. SPM isn't that bad. Have fun folks. Don't forget each other.

Clock's tickin'. But hey, who's gonna stop us?

Thoughts

2010-10-21T22:07:00.000+08:00

I want scholarships so badly!!!

Okay, I will try my best to ace my SPM first then fight for it. I'm fired up dy. Go go go!

School had been fun these days. Games and chats were the main activities all the time. Most of us seemed to lose some momentum in revision. In fact, I think we should learn something new. At least it won't bore me and send me under Morpheus' spell. I noticed that some of my friends are really diligent and hardworking. They just can't stop studying and reading books. I salute them. I wonder why I can't seem to improve my language much. People can score that high and write that lengthy. I think I should start to give my best dy. No more taking it easy. I'm gonna shine, might as well let it be from now on. I want to outshine everything else and take this world by storm. Well, this is just a thinking.

I had some crazy ideas recently. I'm thinking of writing stories in my blog during my free time. Should I?

Stories will be random and weird, or mysterious and dark. Just a thought. I'm still pondering and thinking plots. This idea is purely for fun and exploring something new. But if someone spots me, I wouldn't mind at all.

Future, I see it. What the future holds? It doesn't really clear to me yet. It can't be predicted that accurately. I'm not Nostradamus or his apprentice capable of making prophecy. I don't want the world to end in 2012. I want that year to be a new beginning, but not the end. Don't worry. God save those who save themselves. Be positive. I'm sure something will happen and turn things around.

Class party possible next week. Birthday is on next week. XD

By JM

2010-10-11T23:04:00.000+08:00

It's Monday and the start of another week.

Fresh start. I'm feeling better. Thanks for all the support.

I'm thinking of trying something new. Maybe trying something random such as photography or some new sports. There's still time to think and ponder my future. But time flies and slips away. Appreciate time while it lasts.

This second trial is really meaningless. I'm taking it as exercise. If you want to discuss, please try not to be too obvious.

Star Movies is showing tonnes of thrillers this month as it's Halloween soon. Nice.

Dream on

2010-10-10T18:42:00.000+08:00

Finally the letter came last Friday. It wasn't the way I dreamed it to be. Merit Award in ASEAN scholarship. Not the full one. But I said to myself, 'It wasn't that bad, at least I made that far'.

People got the forecast results, but I haven't. Still need to wait for Second Trial to over. It's a waste of time. I am tired of exercises. Now, I'm gonna walk my own way. Still not sure which way. I'm hoping for the best and expecting the worst. I wish that I were somehow rich and have a billion k dollars in my hands. How nice would it be. Thanks to my friends who congratulated me and wish me luck. I promise I won't let you all down in the future. I will try my best always!

Dream on, don't let your dreams die.

This is my quote from now onwards.

By JM

Life, Learning, Future.

2010-10-04T22:53:00.000+08:00

Three weeks of Gerak Gempur and Second Trial are waiting me. But I am aiming for SPM and my future. I put my sight further than just a few months or years. I ain't that short-sighted.

Gerak Gempur was just crap, or rather exercises for us to prepare for SPM. It wasn't that formal and difficult. I finished it and then went on with my own business. After the trial, school life really bored me as teachers finished the supposed syllabus. Now it's down to intense exercises and the so-called Gerak Gempur and Second Trial to further improve our performance. Will the aim be achieved? Wait and see. I just want to learn new things from this point on. I feel like finishing SPM in near time and move on afterwards.

Life, we gotta move on. We can't stop at this point and say 'now I'm studying for SPM only.' Then, you got your study purpose wrongly set. It should be for the knowledge and our future, more than just SPM. Out of the syllabus stuffs are useful too. You can't say people not smart enough when they didn't score excellent grades in school exam papers or SPM. Maybe people has their own unique talents that can't be valued by merely a school exam. Learning is a life-long process. It doesn't stop here or there. It survives through centuries since creation. The only problem is that its meaning is kinda distorted nowadays. I can see students learning for the sake of high grades and rankings. In my opinion, we should learn for the sake of learning and self-improvements. Sad it is.

Recently, during some conversations among friends, the topic of our future after SPM circles endlessly. Some of them are so wealthy that they can go on to further studies without the worries of money. For some of us, money is a big problem. We are fighting for scholarships, just for that golden opportunity to get better education for a brighter future. We talked about each other ambitions and the pros and cons. It was nice to have a talk like that.

Friends, we have to move on and go our separate ways after this year, probably yes. We should fight for our dreams and ambitions. Nobody can stop you. Believe and thrive.

Nice line from one of my favourite physicist,

It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education.

By JM

2010-09-29T23:11:00.000+08:00

Honestly, I'd been wasting much time after the trial. I wish SPM to come sooner. The date is set so late in the year. I don't feel like waiting for a few months. I want to settle it once and for all.

Geez, the school is having second trial, but this doesn't bother me. I will just prepare well and do some papers. There is a programme by the JPN to improve our standards, which is Gerak Gempur. This means we should be having exercises provided by the JPN in the following few weeks. However, why can I see a timetable for it? I thought it should be exercises. Well, so be it.

September is near its end. It's October soon. I really want to get the scholarship. Letter, please come to me faster. Pray hard. =)

Come on, study hard. Don't waste time. Let me learn new stuffs. I don't want to read the same thing over and over again. Gosh.

After Trial

2010-09-23T16:54:00.000+08:00

I'm back on bloggie. This post title didn't explain everything in it, but it will do. Anyway, SPM trial was over. From now on, SPM awaits me. I ain't gonna go through results here. I did pretty well (I reckon'), but did some mistakes here and there. Well, there always some spaces for improvements. Keep learning man.

School started and I was kinda busy taking back marked exam papers this week. I was frustrated at the marking scheme at times. It was freaking weird. The marking scheme was supposed to be a reference, right? Gosh. I looked at my teacher and a thought popped out in my mind - 'you can do that?'. Thank goodness I scored A for Chinese in this trial. I was excited. Whoops, need to buckle up a bit in the forthcoming 'exam'. I'm not sure what do they call it, but I'm sure I need to do papers. That's for sure.

Ah, why people can score so high for history subjects - 90+? I just made the A+'s mark. They improved a lot. That's good man, if you did it yourself. Sorry man, didn't keep the first place. I ain't a bookworm.

My friends were saying, 'my result dropped, his result improved.', comparing whatsoever. I was kinda satisfied with mine. Buddies, even though we ain't that good now, doesn't mean we can't be better, get it? We can improve over time, or vice versa.

First basketball session after holiday wasn't that nice. Too crowded. I prefer holiday's.

Penang's Cruise

2010-09-15T16:01:00.000+08:00

Lazy me to update this blog now. I was so enjoyed in the holiday that I didn't spend time here. Well, I think I'm going to update it once per week, I supposed.

It was a crazy weekend. My uncle family took me all the way to Penang for cruising. Star Cruise Pisces. Well, it'd been awhile. My cousin bro drove us all along the highway to Penang. We reached there quite early. So I ended up strolling around Queensbay Mall with my cousin bro while the others do shopping. Shopping can be quite boring when you can't find pretty girls around. Gah. But the mall was kinda huge and my legs were kinda tired. Shopping does not do me good. Later, we had lunch for the day, some shop selling mama's food.

In the afternoon, my cousin bro drove us round the island to Rasa Sayang and Hard Rock area. I went into Hard Rock for the first time, just for sight-seeing, and not staying for the night. Maybe the next trip. Ah, I took some photos for the trip, but ain't uploading them yet. Boarded up the cruise, was waiting for the departure while having my dinner. No international buffet, ah.

Honestly, I can't find much to do on the ship rather than strolling around and enjoying the strong wind. Salty feel of the air, I can barely stand still. I sat on the bench and found myself alone. I was like, 'where's everyone?'. Oh, busy spending money and in casino. Ah, I still can't get in. I found myself in another place - theater with pictures but no sound. How funny. There are many things in the ship, but none suits me plus it's damn expensive. I slept for the night in my cabin with cousin bro. Woke up for breakfast then bye bye shippie. It was fun, at least I went on a cruise and Penang. Holiday seemed to pass quickly this time. I had basketball sessions with my friends. Love it, the basketball gang is growing larger and larger. HAA

Holiday startin'

2010-09-07T18:07:00.000+08:00

Yes, trial is over. SPM is not. I might as well pick up my books now.

Well, nothing feels better than total relaxation and fun with friends. I had been away from my blog so much that I don't even know where to start. So lets start randomly.

I had a terrific paintball game with bunch of buddies. I was excited on the concept that I will be shooting and being shot at a few minutes later. How awesome will that be. We had a briefing then it was game on. We geared up and entered the field. I was at a lost of mind. Okay, here's the trigger, there's the bunker. It can't be that hard. So I played and survived the first round. Other rounds later, I wasn't that lucky. Pellets came from the other side, and coincidentally hit my neck and hand, nothing else but there. Ah. Can't they just take a headshot? I had neckshots, less headshots. Haa. It was total fun and excitement. It was a whole new experience and activity to venture into. I should try it more often.

Later, they hang over and played for the rest of the day, well almost. Another blast. PS3 was so cool and the graphic was amazingly clear. I can almost feel it off the screen. The game was such nice and thrilling. I want to play the game again. Ah.

Basketball is another thing that never fail to excite me. I enjoyed the game again with friends back there. Come on. Shoot the hoop.

Time flies, especially we are having fun. Right?

2010-08-27T18:08:00.000+08:00

It'd been a busy week. I had the trial and an interview. How nice it was. I did pretty well. That was how I think I did. Wishes now. Rushed here and there, but it was truly rewarding.

Tips are not good. The 'tips' pipe was somehow leaked this time. I would like to trace it using radioisotopes, but this pipe ain't exist. I can't even find the pipe coz it's not near me. Bah. Gone with tips man. If you rely on those freakin' 'tips' pipes for the rest of your life, I tell you, 'you'll be lifeless'. You'll be living a pointless life. Come on. Do it yourself. Show me what you got.

Eminem songs are so nice. I was listening to those songs over and over again. Haa.

Gonna blog on all those stuffs after the trial, or maybe later.

Phase One - Languages

2010-08-21T10:13:00.000+08:00

Ah. The SPM trial was started with such a nice way that I was happy and actually enjoyed it. I found out what kept me high. Nice.

Phase One - Languages

Well, mostly are languages papers only. Yet there are Bio and Maths papers too. But they were okay. I think I did pretty well, but I don't think that will get me far in the future. I need to buckle up more. I took the trial with an easy-going feel. That was nice and relaxing. I don't want to be stressed like some of my friends did. Yet I want to do well in it. Okay. I hope my trial was so far so good. There are two weeks left in the long trial. I wonder why they want to make it such a long period. Other schools are ending their trial next week. Ah. I am having a weird 'relationship' with examinations. I like it when it is on, don't want to stop when it is on, hate the waiting for the clock to strike the end in some papers. Haa. Overall, examinations was nice in some ways.

The examination hall was long and spacious again. I had a lot of space for myself during examinations. Ah, I had the feeling of saying 'thank you' to the table, chair and everything else again. Thanks for the help. The fan was windy and nice too. It provided me a comfortable atmosphere. That's it. The teachers were nice too. For instance, I didn't see Mr.Bala that often before the trial, but I can see him in the examination hall almost everyday now. How nice. Haa. I like when all my friends are in the same hall and we can chat right after the papers were collected. I don't care where are they from. I just want to mix around and have fun.

There are still two weeks left. All the best my friends!

By JM

SPM Trial is around the corner.

2010-08-14T10:27:00.000+08:00

SPM trial is on next week. The trial takes too much time. Three weeks just to finish a trial. I wonder do other countries have trials.

Ah, I'd been through the books and found out I ain't learning much these years. There're still many things out there, waiting to be learnt or discovered. Oh man, I want to learn them.

Watching movies before trial, may not be the wisest choice, but I had fun and enjoyed movies. When I was walking through shopping complexes like Jusco, I found the place somehow less crowded. Maybe it's exam season, or maybe it's not officially weekend yet. It was quiet. There were even ample parking lots. Nice. Just not much pretty girls for the lookout.

Physics, Chemistry, Bio, Maths...

I like them all. Nice wert. I even like history now, but not the textbook's.

Gah, trial is coming. Buddies, lets do our best. Even though it's not SPM, we should do well in every test. Come on! Have fun!

p/s : and I wonder why girls like Justin Bieber so much.

Beyond school

2010-08-03T19:28:00.000+08:00

Honestly, I don't like it when some teachers ignored me on some questions or enquiries. They replied my questions by saying those are not in the syllabus. Bah!

I thought of it for a moment. What's wrong then? I should learn whatever I can, not follow every part of the syllabus without any second thought. Come on, there are always some thinking going on in everyone's mind. No matter who you are, you must be thinking what's outside, what's beyond school, the syllabus. If the syllabus is done, what's next?

The system should be set for learning purposes, not examination based assessment. Do you think the syllabus is enough? I say not. Think again. People from the olden days treat learning as a life-long process. They learn from the surroundings, think as they go on, use their gifted minds for good. Did Leonardo Da Vinci follow syllabus? Did Thomas Edison and Einstein, other great figures follow syllabus that much? They don't, but they think and try something new. Did you?

Syllabus is important, but it's just basic or somehow a preparation. If students ask for more, teachers should try to answer them, regardless whether it's in the syllabus or not. When students learn more, they understand more. I want to understand more and learn beyond school. For instance, History lessons should be a platform for students to express their views on those events, in the mean time look at other historians' views. Viewpoints are important. They represent our identity, unique in its own way. Maybe the class will find history even more interesting when they exchange views.

Soap !

2010-07-30T20:45:00.000+08:00

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

2010-07-25T17:41:00.002+08:00

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

2010-07-20T21:25:00.000+08:00

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!

2010-07-09T23:47:00.000+08:00

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.

Back to school. XD

2010-06-28T16:01:00.001+08:00

Back to school. This line seems to be quite common, or rather lame. But I am really back to school. I took the results of the earlier mid-year examination this week. The results were okay except for Chinese which I need to struggle and improve it abit. Abit wasn't even enough, I reckon. Being a Chinese but can't get excellent result for Chinese is kinda weird to me. I don't wanna be a banana. LOL. Otherwise, my result sheet can be a lot weirder with that B+.

Damn, I hate myself for being that into FIFA World Cup. Fever indeed. I was watching football matches everyday. This year, World Cup was certainly interesting with all those unexpected turnovers and upset. Italy and France checked out and booked air tickets home early in group stage. The reigning champion was not up to Slovakia's challenge. Surprisingly, South Africa sweep France home with their first win in World Cup. Both Italy and France can't even get a win this year. Weird. England made an early exit too after losing to Germany strong side. One thing for sure, that shot by Lampard was certainly in and a GOAL, but the referee didn't gave it. That was so controversial that replay can even confirm it. That's what made World Cup more interesting. Portugal's complete dominance over North Korea was even impressing. Gonna watch Netherlands tonight. XD

After all, my life's mine. I live the way I want it to be. I am happy with my results but I know that I can do better, hopefully in SPM - I can get straight As. My future will not be entirely determined by destiny or luck. I write my own future. I walk my own way. XD

p/s: Dickson's back. Hee.

Youth Empowerment Camp (YEC) - Day 2

2010-06-21T18:19:00.001+08:00

It was an early morning when I woke up. I took my breakfast in the multipurpose hall(MPH). Then, I listened to what Mr.Boh and Dr.Sia had to say. They talked a great deal on change and passion. I was inspired indeed by them. They made a great pair together when they were 'running the show'. Haa.

After that, Dennis had a session with us about careers and interest. I kinda like swam into the INVESTIGATE 'island'. I met friends there and started building our life-saving boat. We built a simple yet workable boat. However, we had so much plans in our heads that we don't have enough time to carry them out. In the end, the boat kinda floated but crashed abit during the 'fall'. We didn't expect that 'in the middle of the sea'. LOL.

After lunch, those alumni went back here and shared their past experience with us. It was funny when they went into a field which is not directly related to the course they studied. But it was nice for them to share it. Later, we had that O.P.T.I.O.N.S session. Those alphabets meant so much.

Fun time. I was grouped into Group 6. Yeah! I met so many friends and played so many games with them. We did our best in every activities and enjoyed ourselves to the fullest. Nice time mates! Those activities were fun and exciting especially when we had a 'shoes fight' instead of pillow fight. Haa. We came up with the strategy first. Haa. The 'train' thingy was fun and exhausting too. We persevered throughout all the activities. Right?

Dinner was served in the bakery. After some rest, I headed back to MPH for more activities. When I walked into MPH, I saw the video 'Nobody'. A thought went across my mind - 'Dance?'. I was right and I had bad feeling about it. However, when I started to dance along with my group mates, it was so much fun that I forgot that I don't dance. I blended in with them and dance along with the music happily. I was surprised when Group 6 did the best dance! I wanted more dance. Bah...

After dances, we had an activity which we need to cross over the other side through 'holes'. With the help of everyone, we tried to pass everyone through one by one. I was one of them. I felt like, ah family. Haa. All passed through except two as we ran out of chances. Haa. I was even more surprised when Group 6 was announced as the best group by Dr.Sia. Yeah! We got hats. We are all leaders in the group! yeah!

We didn't stop there. We went to the bakery for the night. I had a fun time drinking and eating with all my friends that I met in the camp. Yahoo! I even watched FIFA World Cup. We chatted and laughed at jokes. When we were playing Truth or Dare, we laughed more and couldn't stop there. Haa. Details, please refer to facebook. Haa. In the Truth or Dare, there were so many highlights that I can't finish blogging. Fun and nice. This lasted until about 12a.m. Then I went to split ways with them to the snooker room to meet my school friends. When I was on the way back, I saw them playing basketball. I joined in and played with them until 1a.m. again. So much fun! Haa. I shot in two balls. I was happy and energized. After the match, I walked back with them to the hostel. Actually we chatted for a longer time then only we entered our hostel. Haa. Thanks for the fun to Shu Ren, Lydia, Jia Wern, Nishant, Ricky, Wei Yang, Ariff, Leow, Jing Lun and Jin Fai. Haa. Yeah!

Youth Empowerment Camp (YEC) - Day 1

2010-06-20T17:59:00.000+08:00

Oh yes. My holiday was so packed and fun that I'll never be the same again. Two weeks earlier, I was informed of the INTI-IU Youth Empowerment Camp 10 by my friends and the email. Interview and YEC. Okay. I sent my information and whatever they need to INTI. Transportation in the form of INTI bus was provided. I still remember that I replied one of the message asking 'how can I identify the transport?' The reply from INTI was 'INTI bus.' Oh, special man. Haa.

So there I packed my bags the other day and hopped into the INTI bus with one thing in my mind - 'Go have fun .' The bus was designed for 44 passengers but ended up with about 15 passengers in it. The air-con was chilly with so little heat and carbon dioxide exhaled in the bus. I chatted with friends, listened to some songs, and watched Eric playing PSP in the bus. Nice. After about 3 hours plus, we arrived at INTI-IU Nilai. I was like, so many trees and bushes, is universities like this. Then, I saw the building blocks.

We had lunch and waited for the interview. We went in when our names were called. The interview was not what I expected to be, instead it was more like a normal and simple conversation. Nice. Later, we had dinner in the bakery. I was told about the Beau Bristow and David Story's tour. I joined it as admission was free. I had a wonderful time listening to the creative songs. I bought a T-shirt signed by them. Yeah!

The first day was simply nice. I had an enjoyable day with my friends. And I slept well.

To be continued...

FIFA & Treasure Hunt

2010-06-14T16:48:00.000+08:00

FIFA World Cup 2010 had kicked-off in South Africa last week. I am still in the fever now. A month's fever. Group matches were not that exciting. Until now, there were a few nice matches which did not make me feel like sleeping on the couch. Oh, that's nice.

England's slip was unexpected. Germany's big win was great. Well, we'll see who will take the golden cup back home in the final next month. Haa. Actually I watched the Kick-off Concert in a series of split show. I watched the first half on one day and completed the second half on the other day. It was amazing. I like the World Cup songs very much. I love that passion and feel in those songs sang clearly in the concert, well only those which I understood. African songs by the 'Queen of African Music' was nice too. She had a wonderful voice. Most Africans do, it's just I don't understand a word they sang. Maybe I should learn more languages in the future. It would be nice.

Life's had been more about the same in the holiday. I'd been here and there, doing stuffs like this and that to pass my time. It had been a nice holiday break so far with plenty of great experience and fun. One of them was the treasure hunt by Sin Chew Daily yesterday, in Old Town of Ipoh.

Well, let me tell you one thing I learnt. Ipoh is really an old town. Believe me. If development don't take place, it's gonna get older. We were searching for clues and name of historical places all over the old town, guided by the only hand-drawn map provided by the organizer. I was like, 'What happen to Google Map?'. Okay, back to basic senses. We roamed the streets under the blazing sunlight. The clues were rather awkward. There was one time that we went to a part of the map where we were like spinning in circles. Haa. However, we got through in the end.

In the park, we played games to add marks to your 'campaign'. Rather like a child, we played child games and had fun, but not really nice scores. There was a urge to jump into that children pool only for kids in that park. Chill. After the games, we walked into the primary school's hall and submitted our answers with 'gifts' bought and brought back for the organizers. Awkwardly, they gave more back to us after we gave them ours. Don't waste. Haa. We waited long enough in the hall for the presentation of photos and answers. I was like, 'Hey, why most of the photos are girls, especially nice ones?' Okay. When we were announced the 6th place, I was shocked and on cloud nine. 074. Well, 007 is not fat away. Haa. Grab some bucks and waited for my ride home.

Nice Sunday and enjoyable roam around the so-called Old Town. Ah, it's the 21st century. Life move on. XD
By the way, nice preview. :)

The start of holiday

2010-06-10T23:45:00.000+08:00

Geez. I'm returning to midnight bloggin'. Near midnight now. Just finished my exam papers today. My holiday starts now. So will FIFA World Cup 2010.

Holiday's schedule is quite packed. This holiday is not that long but not that short, just like something in between when you can't do much. I think I'm gonna spend most of my time on entertainment, including facebook, chat, tv etc. I want to active my blog again since it was kinda frozen throughout my exam period. Haa. Did it reach the absolute zero temperature? Hope no. Haa.

imbored. I'm passing my time with bloggie. With the Astro B.yond, HD tv was cool. I like the HD channels such as National Geographic and HBO. I can even see the wrinkles of those old men in the History HD. Lol. Goin to have a treasure hunt this Sunday. No idea how it will be, just going to have fun. Hey peeps, who's still stayin' up late now?

one thing, why people keep changing their profile pictures and liking those long statements recently? oh man.

SIMC 4.0 - x

2010-06-10T23:30:00.000+08:00

Urm. I lost track. Okay.

Day 4 - The On-Site Challenge Presentation. We needed to present our challenge solution to four judges in four different classrooms or labs. Some of the classrooms are air-conditioned while we went into a catalyst room which was new to us. The SIMC presentation was rather fun except the Q & A part. Haa. After that, we had lunch and followed by an educational trip to Science Center and Marina Barrage of Singapore. I went to the science center before in primary school trip. It did not change much. The Marina Barrage was new and nice. Windy and amazing. I liked the view and concept of the Marina Barrage, but kinda bored by the exhibition room. Haa. Youth Olympic Games is coming soon.

Later, the closing ceremony was held in the auditorium. I liked the speech delivered by the professor from Hong Kong - the chief judge. An idea is a good idea. The only bad idea is no idea. I think that was what he said. Haa. That night, we had dinner and farewell party. The slideshow was nice and almost touching. Well, I didn't play that game, but it looked fun. Haa. Not gonna write Day 5 as I went to KL on the next day without following the bus with my friends. So long Singapore, till we meet again.

Starwalk 2010. Not just a walk.

2010-06-07T15:28:00.000+08:00

Starwalk. It was like the event of the year with people from all walks of life rushing into the stadium, with me in between the entrance. Gosh, my mind went like 'highpressure, low speed', explaining the slow moving of crowds and delay of the walk in the morning. I registered and took the blue wristband quickly in search of my friends. Well, I found some and decided to walk with others in the end. Lol. Just enjoying the morning walk. I liked to move between people and advancing further ahead. Well, without running, I like Starwalk. However, not everyone was walking. In fact, most of them were half-running and half-walking while some ran all the way. Gosh, some even took shortcuts. Cowards. You thought you were fast. I can see 'that'.

I kept walking the long way which promised more sceneries and sight-seeing. I walked and looked ahead. I kept thinking that I will reach soon. Lol. My legs were aching somehow. I walked through somehow. Yet I finished the walk without running and got a certificate somehow. Haa. An uncle even told those who ran were just too eager for certs or winning. He said, 'The walk is only a race against time, not human.' How inspiring! I passed him and continued my journey. Honestly, I thought it was a 5km walk. But when I'm finished, my friend told me it was a 10km walk. My reaction was like, 'really?'. xD

Then, I went for drinks in the 100Plus and Spritzer Booths and food as breakfast. I chatted for awhile and wandered around for a bit before I walked to the side for the variety show. There were singing performance, magic show, dance show and more. The lucky draw was long and in vain as I didn't get any lucky numbers. Geez. I sat there and enjoyed the show for the day. Haa. I heard some of my friends won some medals. Nice. Good job. This year's Starwalk was one of my favourite times as I enjoyed the times and experience. Sweat is nothing.

SIMC Part 2.0 - 3.0

2010-06-04T19:11:00.001+08:00

Day 2 - Day 3

These two days were the On-site challenge preparation period. The release of the On-site challenge was made in the morning. Then, we had this yellow envelope with CD, papers, maps.etc. The organizer explained some general rules and deadlines. Haa. Later, we were led to our classroom by our SLOs. Damn, the classroom had six fans compared to two, with less pupils. Geez. So fun. So nice. So fully equipped. We started our challenge. Well, I read the questions first then pondered awhile. My first thought was 'what. now what?'. But then we wasted much time. We started late and rushed a bit to get it done by Day 4 noon for the report. The presentation was done in minutes. Haa. It was okay but not so good as we didn't have that much info. We had chats, walk, music, fun, anything on these two days. We were too bored. Why two days period? I wonder. Facebook was one of the pastime. I even strolled around to enjoy some sight-seeing in NUS. Nice school to study in. Wish this was my school.

Guys, there's still more days. Figures.

SIMC Part 1.1

2010-06-01T20:47:00.000+08:00

Still Day 2. In fact, after the opening ceremony, we had our poster presentation to the VIPs. Okay. But then was the cultural immersion trip. Nice one. First, I think I was assigned to a group to mix around. Ice-breaking. Playin those games again, calling names or like childhood games which I barely remember. Haa. I was like blurred all the way till the end. Still thinkin who the heck thought of those games. LOL.

Well, time flies again, time for the trip. Yea, at last I was on the bus. Dr.Mark gave us each one 'card' and 10 dollars to spend on. Okay. We went to Chinatown. We roamed around temple there, to mosque, indian temple, ate egg tarts, city hall exhibition and Bugis Street. Well, mostly was shopping which I was not that into. Haa. Anyway, we proceeded to Marina Square, Marina Bay, Esplanade, Helix Bridge later. That part was the best. I like sceneries better than shopping. Haa. Oh yeah!

Later that night, I was sleeping sweetly. So nice.

SIMC Part 1

2010-05-31T21:01:00.002+08:00

Time flies. And I was back from the SIMC 2010 held in NUS High, Singapore.
Well, where to start? Honestly, I've no idea. Just the raw memory went around my head unprocessed all over again. They just don't wanna to be processed and get deleted forever. NO DELETE, just SAVED it. But how to index it?

Okie. Day One - was the freaking bus trip from Ipoh to Singapore. It took like more than 10 hours to reach there when it was supposed to be only about 8 hours drive. Too many pit-stops. Gosh. The SLOs had to wait for us like 3 hours. So tiring for them. Blame the bus, change the engine, will ya?

LOL. I remembered my first dinner there was a set of BigMac. Nice as ever a BigMac can be. Chit-chats. Janice Soo and Shao Hao were the first two SLOs I met. Later, I got into my hostel room in PGP. Transpunder. That's something new. Maybe I should've play with it more. But the fine was like...

p/s: I didn't know there was a third SLOs until...

Day Two - Let me think. I woke up like early. Then, gathered and boarded a bus to NUS High. Breakfast time. Then, the food was okay. No comments. Just the coffee was like, different. We waited, as Janice said there was like a person called Asmidah coming. SLO. At first, I was thinking... Foreigner, Indian? Well, I still not so sure now. Haa. Feel free to tell me. xD.

Then, I think it was the briefing time. I went into the Theaterette and sat for some while. Listened to the man, observe. Later, the opening ceremony was a blast. The auditorium, to me, was huge and cool. Found my seat and waited for the guest of honor.

Note: This was the time when those two naughty girls borrowed my booklet and somehow made some form of ART in it. Thanks.

Did I ever tell you we set up posters earlier? and we were chosen to present our unique hand-drawn posters to the guest of honor? Wonders. Just imagine that. The opening ceremony included speeches as usual, and something special like the passing of 12 cubes down the auditorium. Nice and well-planned. Credits.

To be continued...

Teacher's Day

2010-05-18T23:58:00.003+08:00

It was a long pause again since last time. Feelin' the teacher's day celebration? Well, it was not that much of a celebration. When the vid was played, I laughed like hell taking in those moments captured naturally, and there was me wishing the teachers in the vid too. Haa, but I had fun too, with Henry's sleek cool DSLR. Snap Snap*...

I hate to put this into my post. But I feel like to - 'exam'. Oh man, it's near and I am still that easygoing and relaxed. Looking at the others all tensed up, some even took study leaves just to finish revision or revise more. I shouldn't be surprised since this happened last year with more significant number of absentees. I wonder when will last year record can be broken. Haa. If this keeps up, I think the record is gotta be changed by Trial. Figures.

Lower Six is here. Well, that adds to a whole new row of classes, meaning neighbours finally! Haa. It had been quiet for the past months with only a class in the 3rd floor. Haa. Well, the Form 3 classes were far away. We were typically isolated. But nice and joyful too.

Heyhey, anyone in lower six is interested to be a librarian? Come on, it's fun. Haa.

2 in 1

2010-05-08T23:46:00.002+08:00

I had one of the funniest day in this year. The 2 in 1 calligraphy competition and Chinese culture gathering took place in my school. I was dropped by the school early for the competition, for some coco marks. Haa. Didn't know it was 2 in 1 until then.

Indeed, I had one thing for sure - there were a lot of people from many schools came by. And I don't know any of them. Yikes. Haa. I stood there waiting for my fellow friends who were too punctual. I registered and wandered around a bit with boredom began to envelope me. Then, I entered the hall - one thing was good, the air-conditioner was ON at last. Speeches were in the agenda again. Well, listen people...

About time when I left the hall to the class. I simply finished my piece of work with little effort as I weren't that skillful. As I said, ok? haa. Fun indeed. Laughters even my principal said our works were beyond 'mark'. Haa.

Bang bang, I entered back into the hall again. The cool air embraced me again. How kind. I sat and watched the show went on. With Chinese orchestra performance from schools including our school, wushu, Taichi performance, the show was a hit. Although there was a number of technical errors, I still give them a 9 out of 10. Good work. Keep it up! Eh, can teach me some of those great skills sometime? HAAHAA!!!

Inter-School English Quiz

2010-04-29T19:55:00.001+08:00

I'm back. It had been a lot for this week. There was a Inter-School English Quiz and my essays. Haa.

Yesterday, I headed straight to Olympia College after my quick dinner near there. Haa. I was the first to arrived for my team, the others caught up minutes after. Inside were other teams with their respective teachers. Mr. Seow was our teacher. It was fun. We registered and had an unexpected short chat with the Rotary Club President. I signed my name and received a bag of stuffs - brochures, notebooks, a pack of tablets. Then, we headed upstairs. The auditorium, we sat there to listen to some speeches and a video. The draw - Room 1, Group 3. Out we went. Haa.

The room was not spacious with so many students, teachers and Rtn in it. We took our seats and started. Those questions were asked on various fields such as politics, science, English, sports etc. We grabbed 4 marks only. Not much. Anderson won in our room with 9 marks. After that, we went out for some refreshments - Doughnuts and coffee. Later, we went back into the auditorium and had a open-to-audience-quiz session. Haa. I was at total blank. What? Haa. Laughters. It's time. We didn't make it to the last four. However, I just took my participation certificate. I'm contented for the experience and joy I gained from this activity. Okay. Gotta go.

Surprised by his reaction. xD

A long assembly

2010-04-27T00:03:00.003+08:00

Yo. That was a long assembly to start my day. In fact, that was the longest assembly recorded this year. About an hour with my butt on the floor, looking at the stage with people up and down it. Haa.

Just nice. Mostly b'coz of the launching of Program NILAM, which I kinda involved in. The gong and the two students who presented their books' synopsis nicely. They were entertaining. Haa. I was surprised that they were so 'into'' their parts. By the way, the prize-giving just can't seem to stop during the assembly. I thought our principal will be quite contented with all those achievements as he gave away the prizes. Haa. At least he and our Coco PK were smiling happily. Haa. BSMM, the chinese debate team, ping pong, chess, bowling....etc.

Then, our principal finally had the chance to deliver his long-awaited speech. He gave some reminders and introduced a international student from Germany to us. Luca, I think. He was, cool. I wondered when will there be one in our class. Haa.

Well, the rest of the day was highlighted by Henry. Haa. I felt it as funny as described by them. Just weird.

Red Alert

2010-04-24T23:33:00.002+08:00

It's weekend. Another boring weekend with my usual morning coffee and bread, plus tuition. Weekend has no rest, only more work.

Mid-year is less than a month away. Trial is about two months away. SPM is months away. Time is getting shorter. My studies are not directly proportional to the time passed. I was slacking with thoughts bugging me. My goal - my studies, is my priority number one. Red alert should be alarmed to achieve that goal. I have to work harder coz just hard is not enough. And harder is not enough too. I must work and do my best to reach my dreams. I'm no high scorer or any gifted boy. I'm me, that's it. I'm gonna hit SPM with all I have. Promise myself this. Nothing else is getting in the way. If there is, it's going down. End of the story.

Hmm. This place sucks, as in here. I want to explore the freaking outside world when I have the chance. Just wait me, ok? I'm gonna get there soon enough. Just the matter of time, wait. Why? There's no why. Just answers.

Telematch

2010-04-21T20:05:00.001+08:00

Geez. Craps. The world had turned upside down and back again. So fun and exciting.

To start off, there was the telematch where other schools came for the first time - Poi Lam and Ave Maria Convent. So, I went there early and played like there was no tomorrow until lunch time. I resumed my playing with the station game after lunch. I was exhausted but contented with what I played and experienced. Simply memorable. For once, I had my first basketball match competition style in my life. HAHAHA!!! Although we lost, somehow badly, I had fun just for playing. I don't care much about the scores back then. Haa. I played almost everything, except for soccer. Haa. Sweat all over my shirt and I was relaxed. Wind blew and I welcomed it. Yeah!

Station Game - Fun! My team played each station with so much laughters and joy. We smiled and ran. In the treasure hunt, I was excited to be involved. Ran, ran, ran! Found it! End the hunt when we hunted down the last man OC. Haa. He was even charged down by Shiuh Jye in the end when Shiuh Jye found him. Haa. Too bad, we played with the OCs only at each station. No other teams to compete with. Haa. Anyway, just nice.

I was maths freaked today. I just knew half of the papers' questions. Haa.

By JM

Rush Rush Rush

2010-04-13T21:54:00.003+08:00

Gosh. I had a rough week and was exhausted. I had never know applying for something will need such work. However, it will be worth it in the end. I hope I can get it along with all my fellow friends who applied. Today was a 'rush rush' day as friends and I rushed to get signatures and send the documents through courier service as soon as possible. Friends, I helped you all sent it. I hope it can reach there on time. Good luck!

Scholarships, a way to get my education opportunity increased and the fees needed reduced. I want to cut down on my expenses for my education as much as possible. Money is not enough for everything. I just wished I had enough or more. Haa. Tomorrow, there is a talk on studies in UK and US. Geez, I like that too.

Sometimes things just don't go right. Gosh, when I was writing my essay yesterday. My phone won't just stop vibrating. Questions, what do you think I am? Answering machine? Okie. Enough. Next time, no rush. Everything is to be learnt from experience. I learnt mine. I won't repeat my mistakes twice. Nono.

Clash of The Titans

2010-04-06T23:29:00.001+08:00

Last week was nice, with April's Fool, Good Friday, Easter Sunday....

Clash of The Titans, the remake of this film was great with the new CG effects. Kraken, Medusa, Hades were made very much 'alive'. I watched it on Good Friday with my friends in celebration of Chea's birthday. On that very morning, before I rushed to the cinema, I went to my grandpa's cemetery to pay some respect. Geez, grass and twigs grew all over the place. We had to cut them down again, although we paid for the maintenance - which only includes road and herbicide spray. But why was the wild grass growing? That was a question mark which many of us can answer to. Haa. Paid respect, burned the box of 'valuable goods' to be sent to grandpa. I had been here every year. Celebrated my bro's birthday too. Wondering whether I will be doing that next year....

Life's about decision. I haven't make mine.

The connection is damn slow recently. What's wrong?

By JM

2010-04-02T01:00:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, it supposed to be a double treat with two cakes - moist chocolate and blueberry cheese cake. Boon didn't show up so it ended up as a single treat with Chea had the cakes to himself. Haa. But then we 'savaged' the cakes like we haven't been eating for days. Typical S1 students. Eating the cake with my hand tasted better. Moist chocolate cake was nice. This time, it took place in the canteen. Before all that, there was a short and interesting story.

Bio Lab. We walked slow? I don't think so. Maybe we just started late. Nah. Anyway, our principal dropped by unexpectedly and gave us quite a 'lecture'. He stood by and monitored our lesson. Haa. Ironically, he took the mic from the hands of our Bio teacher halfway through the lesson. Haa. He got all that adrenaline and passion for the teaching of Bio back 10 years ago, when he wasn't a principal yet. I gotta gave it, he was a pro in Bio. He taught us well, for me to understand clearly enough. He made my love for Bio burns once more. Mr.Phang was dedicated, gonna fight for free periods to teach us. Haa. I wonder how will that end up. Waitin...

'I love Bio'
'I'm very happy to hear that.'

Haa...

By JM

2010-03-30T21:55:00.003+08:00

I'm broke.

Here's the 'why'. Last Saturday, we had a celebration for Sin Cyin's b'day. Another night of fun and laughters. It was Earth Hour's night. I was in the library waiting for the start. It took awhile and some chit-chatting - anything. I even watched a video with Yi Xuan about a philosopher somehow saddening story. Ironic.

Then, the lights went out - time for Earth Hour(even though the air-con was still ON) and Sin Cyin's ghastly welcome scene. Actually, it was just dark. Nothing much but with her long hair, she can be quite a nice one. Haa. Everything went well, from the welcome scene to the cream fight, from the cake-eating to the the present-giving. The present was so nice, handmade with pictures of all the committees together - handwritten signed with wishes. My part was the shortest and that got her complaint. Hee. I ate the cake with blueberry tops with cheese. Nice. What happened after that was just photo-snapping and chit-chatting. Some continued the cream-fight which I blocked, somehow. Kuan Fei and gang were so concentrated in their work, even a cake can't move them. I really salute their spirit. I wish I had that kind of spirit in me that will keep me moving for a long time, but not in this standstill.

Sin Cyin, happy birthday again! If you are reading my blog now, I heard you want to be a doctor. Good luck, you will make a fine doctor that will save lives. Then, I hope I won't be visiting you frequently(and you know why). Haa..Don't give up! As those who give up often end up lost. As those who continue no matter what often end up with a road to success and freedom. Haa. Enough long?

They celebrated another b'day today. And there's class fee to pay again. Gosh, don't buy cake every month for the class anymore. Just buy one for the whole year. Not everyone can afford the payment. Okay?

What do my future holds?

2010-03-26T00:10:00.002+08:00

Phew. At last, I got all my results. Not all of them are satisfying for me. I gotta improve on my weaker subjects for my SPM's sake, my future. I was awaken, by the sudden drop and fall. I kinda feel that kind of spirit back years ago when I was motivated. Geez, I am fired up by some 'hydrocarbons'. Accelerating...

Time flies as education fair was held once again on Wednesday in my school. Ironically, I was still in the same situation where I still struggle to choose a path that truly belongs to me and suits me well. I felt like doing everything but too little time and money. Haa. Silly me. Just choose by your heart. My heart knows well, I thought. Great. Now, I have only one year left to plan my future and make it a bright one. Life is full of turns and this is one of the turns that I mustn't take a wrong turn. Wrong turn is bad just like those movies. Haa. I was just taking brochures randomly from the tables while listening to the advices of some representatives of various institution. I heard names like SAM, INTI, Taylor, Sunway, AUP like a dozen times, but I am still lost. Any advice for me?

To improve my academics, there is one thing I should do less - facebook-ing, which is addictive. I found myself spending too much time in Facebook. I need to play less, if not I will suffer. It's now or never. I must sacrifice some of my entertainment, for that - anything.

By JM

What will I get?

2010-03-22T23:16:00.000+08:00

I could simply summarized my break with a word 'homeworks'. That took most of my time which involved a lot of writing(kinda scribbled), copying pointless essays and etc. Another thing was facebook-Ing.

Gonna get all my papers' results this week. Not so good, I reckoned. I gotta hit the gear earlier next time, just to reach my long-distance and higher destination - SPM, for now. After that, I think there will another whole new life awaits me. Hope so. Coz this life kinda had its flaw. Haa. Nothing much. Just me. Don't expect much from me. I'm not that serious and disciplined like those who get straight A+ last year (like Pn.Lee said), but don't count me out. I will try my best. Haa.

Slumdog Millionaire. Genius? It's written.

2010-03-15T00:33:00.000+08:00

LCD's back. With a better view, I'm all set for blogging again. Miss me? *lol*

Closed the car door, walked up the stairs. 'Jia Ming!'.. Turned my head back to KCleong. He finished his photo-taking session with his former students. Nice. ' Help me bring this bag up.' I was like how did he remember my name. So, I asked impulsively without thinking. He said, 'Well, I remember.' Oh, I carried it up with some converse'. After all, I was curious. After his tuition, I was waiting along the corridor as usual. Saw a man with some kind of problem, was begging for money. Geez, get a job, I thought.

Slumdog Millionaire. I watched this film for the first time. Nice, amazing - genius? It's written. It was a nice and touching story played well. I liked the young kid part where he jumped into the mess, for his idol's signature. Simply truthful and portrays life in the slum.

First day of break.

2010-03-14T00:46:00.001+08:00

First day of my March break. Nothing like a break would be. Woke up with the morning light and my phone alarm blaring my favourite song. Typical Saturday morning...

Jusco. Something was ON - International Women Day, I reckoned. I noticed some kind of ballet and a couple were singing 'two is better than one' on the stage. I wondered what was that for. Just curious. Anyway, it was not bad. Keep it up.

Kbox. I sat and over-looking the entrance of Kbox. People were entering and exiting the 'musicbox' non-stop, mostly were youths. I even saw some boys from my school, including Chin Foo. *lol*. At first, I stopped by 'Hong Kong & Tea', then followed by the 'cafe takahashi'. I ended up at the restaurant opposite them. Been to Hong Kong and Japan, back to the locals. Nice. Haa...

By JM

End of first term

2010-03-12T23:23:00.000+08:00

Exam was over. But I still have a lot to do. I didn't do so well in it.

I will surely do better next time and in the SPM. No more Bs or lower.

Geez. Homeworks. Library. Back to original working state. Resonance occurred.

14 before Chap Goh Mei

2010-02-28T01:37:00.001+08:00

Had a waiting and NILAM rush yesterday morning. The juniors were so picky these days. Their life were too fab. Geez. And they don't talk slowly or in turns, instead they spoke with at the same time but with different questions. Gosh, I had only one mouth...

Later, I got in a car and went to Pizza Hut for lunch. I realized, 'It was quite a long time since last time I been there. They don't even have that there buttons last time- Call, Dine-In(I think), Bill.' Hah! I was so hungry and craved for pizza. Hah! Even the soup tasted good with garlic bread sticks. Hee... Blah Blah... but I was late for tuition and forgot to change my slippers back!

At night, we had a celebration of Yi Xuan's birthday(early) with all the librarians. It was nice. The cake was yummy too. Hee...chocolate! Hah! We even had Yee Sang in the library together. Everybody was so joyful and enjoying themselves. I really admire those who can study in the library. So concentrated! Hah!

We kinda had dinner at 'Tong Sui Street'. Sort of. After that, I hit my ride home. STPM exam's result was given out last Thursday. I read the newspaper. 5As. If I am going to study Form Six, maybe I will take five subjects in STPM too. Hah! That's just an understatement. Keeping an eye for SPM now!

By the way, it was 14 before Chap Goh Mei. Now, it's midnight, early Chap Goh Mei. Now what?

Librarians' 'Bai Nian'

2010-02-19T16:06:00.002+08:00

Another day of 'bai nian'. Nice. I woke up and received the sms from Sin Cyin. And I was like 'what? mi mi?'..Hah! Then, I got myself drove to the meeting place. I got into Si Mun's car. Not a good decision. Hah!

So, our first station - Menglembu. Where were we been to? Bukit Merah! Hah! We had a detour for some sightseeing around Ipoh. Lost? No. Actually, we went to quite many houses. Let me just list them out...

Mun Yee's
Mei Yan's
Yi Xuen's
Jia-Ming & Jia-Wei's

Yi Xuan's

Zheng Heng's

Shiuh Jye's

Jor Yi's

Yon Sheng's

Si Mun's

Ms.Chee's

Kai Yan's

Mine....

We missed some houses. Maybe going there next time. Hah! I ate those CNY cookies and drank carbonated drinks until my stomach had to say 'no more'. Hah! Happy Chinese New Year!

Movie.Card Games. My 'Slip'.

2010-02-19T15:51:00.000+08:00

The weather was hot and humid. Seldom could I feel the wind blowing... Hot. During this CNY, I had a few reunion dinners with my family relatives. Nice to eat together once in a while even though just a simple meal. Haa...

Tuesday, I visited Yah's place and sort of 'bai nian'. We played card games like 'Cho Dai Di' and 'Chi Sap'. I just got a grip of those games on that day, for the first time I learned them. Haa. How fun! Then, we walked to Jusco for a Chinese film - 'True Legend'. The movie was nice and long too. Before the movie had started, during the trailers' time, I accidentally slipped my hand thereby spilled some popcorns on the floor. yikes. Sorry !

Conclusion? It was a nice day with friends and movie. Don't forget card games which I just learned! Hah!

By JM

Before the CNY break

2010-02-12T18:48:00.002+08:00

The end of the week. The start of the Chinese New Year's break. Fun and thrills are waiting for me, as well as delicacies and carbonated drinks. I'm craving for food even now, anything crunchy or chilling...

I was reading this book, or rather the entire collection which I found it tempting and amazing. Percy Jackson. Just finish the fifth book, The Last Olympian. Terrific. It made me kinda attracted to Greek mythology, stuffs like that are cool. The movie was out in the cinemas, which will be a blast(I guess). Almost everyone is reading the first book now. Some even finished the fifth. Percy sure did create much of a buzz around the 'sea'. Hah!

won't it be so cool if I am him?

Fascinated when I watched the Night Glowed's Dragon Dance back today. Creative and nicely done. Even the drums performance was outstanding. The entire celebration was okay except for some parts(you know). And actually I'm rolling back my memory now, which means you're reading everything in my day backwards. So, I had my first-in-my-lifetime experience of caligraphy competition at school, which I hardly even win. But it was fun and 'experiencing'. School was in a washing machine. Students were here and there, mostly throwing things here and there(including dustbin). Some just laid down by a corner while some were trying MJ's tricks in the class(video-cam-ed). Other than those, all seemed in order. School is a playground, though I forgot who quoted that. Hah!

'Late' Christmas and New Year Celebration

2010-02-01T21:08:00.001+08:00

Last weekend with friends was nice. I went to the Christmas and New Year Celebration at the stadium.

We were early birds that day. I had a meal with Chuan Yi and Qi Wen at the food court. Just chit-chatted for awhile while drinking my chilly lemon juice. Then, we walked until it started rain. Rain poured intermittently, droplets of them hit me. It was rather nice to walk under the rain. Hah! When we reached there, there were only organizers, performers rehearsing for the last time, our school brass band getting ready, students in blue attires all around... We simply sat somewhere in the middle as there were lots of ample seats available for us to choose from. We saw our teacher - Raymond, was there supporting the brass band. Other friends came one by one or in pairs after somewhile. We had plastic bags filled with light stick, biscuits, a bottle of mineral water and a red string. I cracked the light stick to make it glow in the dark. Nice. Others did the same. The uncle sitting next to me aked me to do the same for him, but without the red string. Hah!

Then, we waited again. Went out for breaks as it was boring. When I got back to my seat, some of friends' seat had been taken by other people. One lady came blaring with her principles and accusations that we booked the seats even though my friends weren't there. She was wrong, my friends came and sat. They just went out for fresh air or the lavatory. Geez.

The show started with churches's choir, or rather they were sort of appetizers. When the VIPs came in, our school brass band welcomed them with their great performance of a few songs. Thunderous applause shook the hall as it ended. Later, we endured some lengthy speeches from some VIPs. Great. Later, I watched the performance planned for everybody. A few caught my attention, namely one unexpected remix of the old and modern with break dances from the Ballet School, a church's choir which sang the contemporary remixes. Nice, nice...

After the local artist's performance, Yoga Lin went in as the fans of him screamed as if forgetting the presence of our VIPs. They rushed down to the stage to get a closer look. Well, but they were hold back by the RELA. After the celebration ended, Yoga Lin had another session of performance. I listened to his singing and watched he sang like he was really in the song itself. Possessed. I was surprised to see his action at the last part. Unexpected. It ended with a great feeling. The crowd subsided swiftly even though the local artist was next on the list. I was tired too. Wandered around and hit home. Peace.

By JM

January ending...

2010-01-27T23:43:00.001+08:00

Geez. I left my blog unattended too long. Messy and 'old' now.

In fact, I was busy. Schooling like always. Just sukan tara was underway now. And nothing feels better than cranking music in my room. Hah!
A few more days to weekends, I'm looking forward to a weekend which I will both dread and enjoy. Life is ironic in its unique way. Gotta have to record Nilam on Saturday. May be the Christmas and New Year or whatever its name is on Sunday. That event will be just another reason for me to relax myself a bit, unstrung myself from the invisible net which had trapped me for awhile. I was confined like ever, Freedom never come easy, as usual. Lol...

Today, PE wasn't as fun as I expected. We ran two laps, easy. Another laps of squating of all kinds, tiring! When I got to the basketball court and played, I barely play even though I was in the court running here and there with dozens of guys. I felt like a dummy, am I? Geez, I gonna play well, you will see.

One thing went bad, my legs were numb after I sat down for three periods. May be I stressed them too much. Fine, nothing to be worried about. Besides, I had tonnes of worries.

Percy Jackson. I was addicted. I am still.. Half God. Half Human. All Hero. Nice. The first movie is gonna premiere soon in February. I want to watch it so badly. hah! For the mean time, read the books. Hee...

Live Like We're Dying, Like Every Moment Counts

2010-01-18T22:43:00.004+08:00

Songs again. This one is a personal favourite.

Live Like We're Dying

Sometimes we fall down, can't get back up

We're hiding behind skin that's too tough

How come we don't say I love you enough?

'Til it's to late, it's not too late

Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come

And we could make a feast from these crumbs

And we're all staring down the barrel of a gun

So if your life flashed before you, what would you wish you would've done?

Yeah, we gotta start lookin' at the hands of the time we've been given

If this is all we got, then we gotta start thinkin'

If every second counts on a clock that's tickin'

Gotta live like we're dying

We only got 86 400 seconds in a day to

Turn it all around or to throw it all away

We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say

Gotta live like we're dying

And if your plane fell out of the skies

Who would you call with your last goodbye?

Should be so careful who we left out of our lives

And when we long for absolution, there will be no one on the line

Yeah, we gotta start lookin' at the hands of the time we've been given

If this is all we got, then we gotta start thinkin'

If every second counts on a clock that's tickin'

Gotta live like we're dying

We only got 86 400 seconds in a day to

Turn it all around or to throw it all away

We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say

Gotta live like we're dying, oh, like we're dying, oh, like we're dying

Like we're dying, oh, like we're dying

We only got 86 400 seconds in a day to

Turn it all around or to throw it all away

We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say

Gotta live like we're dying

You never know a good thing 'til it's gone

You never see a crash 'til it's head on

Why do we think we're right when we're dead wrong?

You never know a good thing 'til it's gone

Yeah, gotta start lookin' at the hands of the time we've been given

If this is all we got, then we gotta start thinkin'

If every second counts on a clock that's tickin'

Gotta live like we're dying

We only got 86 400 seconds in a day to

Turn it all around or to throw it all away

We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say

Gotta live like we're dying, oh, like we're dying, oh, like we're dying

Like we're dying, oh, like we're dying

We only got 86 400 seconds in a day to

Turn it all around or to throw it all away

We gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say

Gotta live like we're dying.

I like it because life's a live show. One will never know what will happen next, even the fraction of a second next. Cherish every moment of your life before you regret it.

Weekend?

2010-01-17T00:32:00.001+08:00

It had been two weeks. What I did were just Nilams and Class Readers..etc. I was even thinking about them in class, pondering ways to get them done in time. Deadline, is such a drastic word that almost send me to my end. Fortunately, some librarians helped me to complete the Class Readers. However, there are more to come after the first struggle. Next week gonna be harsher than the first two weeks. For the first time, I met my teacher advisors in almost two weeks consecutively. Every recess time, every free period, or not. She called, I was there. Hah!

I met a Poi Lam librarian friend today. I chatted with him for awhile and found out that their school didn't even carry out the Class Reader programme! Only the Nilams, wow. Oh, well. Now, I barely have time to relax. I was outdoors the whole day, doing the various things from small to big. I went to stock check today. Although I wanted to help them, I helped just six shelves. I received new tasks again. Paste all the Nilams and the files! Wow, Tuesday will be the deadline. Again! I pasted the papers for the rest of the morning while my vice took over the rest afterwards. It was done. I hope the stock check will end as soon as possible. Maybe I can't go on Sunday. Sadly, I just can't. Piles of homework waiting for me. Gosh.

Honestly, I don't even have time to think about girls. lol.

Gotta Concentrate On My Studies...

2010-01-14T00:29:00.000+08:00

It had been a while since last time the blog was updated.
I had been busy all the time recently. This will continue on throughout the year, I reckon.

Class Reader was the main reason. I spent too much time on Class Reader and Nilam. I was neglecting my studies at some point now. I gotta better concentrate on my studies soon. Please don't give me anymore tasks to be completed! I can't attend to so many people at the same time as Superman can. Hah!

Internet problem was a nightmare to me when it kept disconnecting for the past few months. Now, it can be considered quite stable, for NOW. Hope it keeps on FINE. 5S1, still the same atmosphere of 'play hard, learn hard'. Nothing seemed to slow us down. Gonna distribute the Class Reader this week. Hope it will go smooth.

Pikom PC Fair - Again!

2010-01-10T00:29:00.000+08:00

Pikom PC Fair was ongoing again here in Ipoh.

The stadium was crowded with people from all walks of life. Before this, the stadium was silent, lonely and creepy filled with nothingness. Now, the stadium went to life, resurrected from its long time slumber. The stadium roared, with bargain voices!

I walked in again. I wondered, 'why am I here again?'
'I am here b'coz I'm curious.' Hah!

Inside the old building, I spotted Li Hao working as an Avira salesman. Nice. The stadium was used less for sports' purposes, but more for these public fairs. Weird uh? I had a walk around the stadium. Well, the same thing all over again. Crowds ! Can't move. Hah! With salesmen and salesgirls standing at every corner, I just took much brochures from them. I had a look to see whether there were any nice deals. Hmm, just more or less the same.

Still can't get a laptop yet. Now is not the right time yet. Later maybe.

Busy Life Goes On

2010-01-08T00:06:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, I had my Physics' tuition at Omega. I came across a ex-Form Sixer working there. I was broke when the fees came out to be over-budget. Hah! Then, I climbed up the stairs to wait. I remembered that I was among those inside the room last year as Form 4. Now, I was waiting outside instead. Hah! I observed the Form 4 coming out one by one from the room. Some familiar faces from my school. Quite a number of students.
In spite of that, yesterday Form 5 class was comparatively few. Tuesday had 133 students whereas I counted 23 students for my day. Hah! So quiet and nice atmosphere for studying, boring though. Can't chat much. Hah! There was not much girls too. Hah!

I had many homework. Geez. My hands don't work so fast at the start of year. Gotta train it back. Piles of stuff needed to be done again. Today's things stacked after things of yesterday. There was not enough time to finish it, but others came again. Again. Busy life. I hope I can be like Naruto and learn the Shadow Jutsu, so that I can be many places at the same time. I just can't split myself, you know?

Second Day of First Week

2010-01-05T23:54:00.003+08:00

It was only the second day of first week of school. But I had got myself piles of works to be accomplished. Damn. It's really is. This new year, our class had some new students. They are just new to our class. I knew them, only not too close. Friends, don't hide, lets be friends. I don't care who you are. Just that your heart matters in friendship. Backgrounds didn't matter in my eyes. If you are good in heart, I want you to be my friend.

Oh gosh, Class Reader again. yikes. then had the orientation too. Hah! What a day!

Na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na

With a bang
She was there
Yeah she blew up off my cover, wasn't looking for a lover
And I crashed
I fell apart
And now I'm picking up the pieces
No, they're not exactly pieces
But it's a start
Did you ever think I'd let you go?
You're the only thing I've ever known

It's like twisted sister
Meets miss and mister (?)
It's like a-rolling thunder
Meets a careless whisper
It's like Jesus Jones and The Rolling Stones in a game of twister
It's like boy meets girl

Na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na

And she went right
And I went wrong
By the time I turn around and look for her over my shoulder she was gone
I'll never know
How to make her favorite drink
And does she like the color pink on her toes?
But did you think I'd let you go? (go)
I think I always knew that we'd grow old

Its like twisted sister
Meets miss and mister (?)
[ Evan Taubenfeld Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
It's like a shout at the devil (shout, oh)
Meets careless whisper
It's like Motorhead and The Grateful Dead in a game of twister
It's like boy meets girl

When I when I saw you, I could see
I wanna wanna have you lying next to me
I wish that I can take it back
Put you on my favorite track, and play you on repeat
And every day since then is incomplete

It's like twisted sister
Meets miss and mister (?)
It's like a-rolling thunder
meets careless whisper
It's like Fleetwood Mac, Biggie and Tupac in a game of twister.
It's like boy meets girl
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na

It's like boy meets girl
(Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na)

It's like you and me girl
(Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na)

You'll always be my girl
(Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na)

Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na

Happy New Year - 2010

2010-01-01T00:57:00.000+08:00

Tik Tok...

Few minutes before, it was the year of 2009.

Few minutes after, or now, it's the year of 2010.

Few minutes made the clear difference between years.

2009, a year of fun and thrills. I enjoyed this year much. I had friends. Just amazing.

2010, I expected this year to be much better. Hah! I expected there will be more challenges, hurdles, ups and downs too. That's life. Life.

The change of years was like a flash, then it was done. 2009 was gone and replaced by his brother - 2010. We gotta say bye bye to 2009, and hello to 2010. Hah!

Pacific Ocean to Love River

2009-12-31T00:24:00.000+08:00

Next on the list, it was a long drive along the coastal highway to Kaoxiong. The coast, Pacific Ocean was strong and mighty with an aura of grandness. Thousands miles across the ocean, it could reach USA or Japan. How vast was it. Remarkable. I watched in awe along the road trip. I had music rocking in my ears, such as Whatcha Say, Love Story, Numb.. I was just relaxing.

But then, we went to a Buddhist temple. Nice. Commercialize, I thought. With ancient-design temples and statues, students study and research Buddhist here. I was told a great master from here, is now traveling around the world to promote Buddhist.

Afterwards, we reached Kaoxiong. Nice city with neon lights aglow everywhere. It had a river, Love River cutting the city into two parts. We had a boat ride on the Love River. Why it was called the Love River? I'm not so sure about it. It must have something to do with the word 'love'. I just enjoyed the ride and nice views. Bridges of different heights was rigid regardless of the salty river water's splash. Love River, I was told that someone jumped into the river once before, just to show his love to his girlfriend. He made news and happiness. What a buzz! Hah!

We also went to the Kaoxiong harbour. We climbed up to the fort at the hill. With surprising Dutchmen fort and clear harbour's view, we took photos and noticed a lighthouse too. Couples sat around the fort, overlooking the harbour, so romantic. It went better when there was a club singer sang near the fort. Hah! Just a singer. By the seaside, by the barricade, couples sat and cuddled happily. Just another sight to behold. Whole row of couples. Nice.

Natural Vista

2009-12-27T02:27:00.002+08:00

On my trip down the coastline, the bus cruised onto the mountain highway for awhile. We had to take this route to embrace the wonderful Taroko sceneries. Taroko was fabulous, with lush green trees and fast flowing streams between the stiff cliffs. The natural setting was fantastic indeed. We walked along the roadside while embracing every bit of it as much as we could.

Later on, we left and stopped at a coffee shop for some coffee and cakes. Overlooking the distant temple and waterfall, the view was spectacular. I even took a photo with some foreign tourists, Korean and Bulgarian. Hah! Then, we continued our journey to the Seven Stars Beach ( I think). The beach was long, sandy, and shone when rocks reflected the sunlight. Enchanting as it was, the strong waves made it better. The clear sea water washed its way up. The wind was strong there, with plenty of tourists. This place was once a military base before it became a tourist sites. Hah! We had lunch with style - cracking bamboo sticks for rice.

After that, we visited a barnyard which did not have much cows or horses at all. Nothing much. We went for a hot spring bath too. Hot, steamy, and relaxing to be in it. Lets try it again next time. We checked-in to our recreation so-called hotel. That night, there was a party which we danced and let off 'Sky Lanterns', even fireworks. It was magical and fun.

Natural vista.

You see?

Look! The waves were coming!

From City to Rocks

2009-12-26T02:03:00.005+08:00

The bus took us down the east towards the southern part of Taiwan. Along the road, we stopped at some places for sight-seeing. The air was simply fresh and windy.

By taking the High Speed Railway (HSR), we reached Taipei from Taoyuan within 45 minutes. We had a city tour around Taipei before that. Just some memorial halls with grand statue of important people. Later, there was a daily marching in one of the halls. The soldiers marched patriotically in front of the hall and the public. They wore neat, formal uniform with badges reflecting off the sunlight. With grace and still movements, they marched through the wide hall corridor or passage. There were two soldiers stood still at the both side of the gate. Unmoved by any disturbances. The soldiers continued their march until the front gate. We watched till then, and took off again.

After that, we visited the Yeliu Park too. The park was a place with remarkable geometrical scenery such as stones and pillars with various shapes after centuries of wind and rain. The scenery was magnificent with all kinds of pillars and stones of imagination. There was one particular rock looked like a Queen head. Majestic with a thin neck. Hah! The park was beside the open sea. The air was refreshing. The park was filled with enchanting rocks and some weird ones too.

Then, we reached this place called Jiufen. Long time ago, this place was inhabited by only nine (Jiu) families. But now, there were multiplies of that, in counting. What so special about this place? The one and only old street of Jiufen. We strolled along the street and had lunch. They sold all kinds of stuffs and food. Looked delicious. We had a decent view of the ocean from the top. Old street, Taiwan had too many of these. Hah!

Later, before the train arrived, I was still rocking the music with smile. Hah! When the train came, I stood for a few stations because there were not enough seats. Hah! The train was one of the earliest models, with rows of seats by the side and handrails for me to grab hold of.

Sleep tight then.

Christmas Eve

2009-12-25T02:39:00.001+08:00

It was Christmas Eve. Now is Christmas day. Time passed too fast. I can't catch up.

It was just another plain day. I woke up with the same face. Santa, where are you?

Christmas here, I just can't seem to get the festive feel.

Merry Christmas, everybody! and a Happy New Year too!

Late. Gonna make this short.

Hike

2009-12-24T02:20:00.001+08:00

I woke up, feeling refreshed and alive. The morning light pierced through the sky earlier here. The curtains were drawn, blocking sunlights from the outside. Another day, gotta have fun...

I ate my simple and satisfying breakfast down at the hotel's cafe. They served ham, eggs American style with coffee or tea and a glass of juice. Nice. I took a bus to Taipei's Yangming Shan. It was a mountain with some attraction sites.

The 260 bus took us there, bumping and racing through traffic even though it was just early in the morning. The bus was full with passengers already when we aboarded it, consisting of old folks, young students and other civilians. I stood, grabbing the holding strap tightly and swayed with the bus. hah. Then, some left and some came up. I sat down beside a student. She was just sleeping all the journey. hah. Quite nice. University students don't get enough sleep, I thought. Or perhaps the nightlife?

We alighted at the last stop after the bus was almost empty. We waited for another bus to reach our destinations. In the bus, we met some good people who helped us with some tips. Fortunately, one of them - Mr.Lee and his family guided us throughout our visit in Yangming Shan. He took us round the mountains with his experience and kind warmness It was so generous of him to help.

In Yangming Shan, we visited Erzi Ping. It was in a valley between Xiaotun Shan and another one. hah. We hiked along picturesque trails, between enchanting trees along the way. The air was clean and fresh without pollution. We watched the sceneries of Xiaoyou Keng and Milk Lake. Both were views formed by natural phenomena - volcanic cracks. In Xiaoyou Keng, the sulphur caused yellow gases billowed out of the fume holes. The air was exceptionally stale, smelled of rotten eggs. Sulphur. Milk Lake was about the same with its water white like milk, or rather white chocolate. hah.

Later, we went back to the nearest railway station to board the metro. The less than 1 hour ride to Danshui was rather fast. After awhile, I found myself near the sea, breathing in the salty air. We reached the Lovers' Bridge after sunset. Lights from the bridge itself lighted up the dark sky with green lights. Or was it white? I strolled across the bridge briskly. It was kinda short but elegant. I caught sights of happy couples cuddling by the side as the cool air blew. Lovely, sweet and happy. I enjoyed the cool air with the happiness of others filled the space. Empty yet satisfied. We took the metro back. The night was just as bright as the day, I thought.

Taiwan's Trip - Prologue

2009-12-09T01:15:00.000+08:00

At this year-end holiday break, I took a trip a Asia entertainment country - Taiwan.

I had been in KL before boarding MAS to Taiwan. The flight was quite pleasant except for one problem - there was only one lavatory available. yikes. The four hour flight brought us down to Taiwan's ground. The weather was windy and just nice. It was sunny with the sun shining up high. The city looked almost like KL, with its expressways, freeways, and turns. The traffic was congested as in KL too. Terrific.

By night, we strolled the streets for food and fun. We savoured the famous 'Ah Zhong Noodles ' there. I stood by the side, eating away every bit of its content. It was simply mouth-watering. The place was different, I reckoned. I could see pretty girls around much more often here. Nice and sweet. Schoolgirls. LoL. I ate, walked, enjoyed the night walk. It was a great way to end the day. Besides, food in Taiwan were delicious.

To be short, I will end here. Photos taken will be uploaded later. Stay tune.

p.s. : this post will be updated later coz time's short. lol.

2009-12-06T02:15:00.002+08:00

Two days ago, we rocked Si Mun's birthday celebration.

On Friday, we went back to school for lots of fun. I played basketball for hours non-stop with my fellow friends. I just shot, shot, shot... can't do the moves yet. Damn, those guys were pro. We had a game between ourselves. Hah! The game almost exhausted me, but not yet. The fun and thrills kept me on playing and shooting. All the hell of fun went down like heaven's stars. I glanced towards my friends which were always supportive. I'm glad to have them by my side. Always. That day was meant to be till night. Wait and see. LoL. I was really thrilled.

We walked to the 'Tong Sui Street' to have our nice dinner. Alongside my friends, I walked along the road. The night was near. Wind blew at my face softly, just gently enough. I loved the wind and everything else. Just nice. Oh yea. We had a pretty good meal with chats all the way. Then, we walked back as rain seemed to be approaching. It seemed to. Hah...

Back in the library. LoL. They spoke ghost stories again. Cool. I explored the room under the stairs with Chin Seng. Creepy and cool. Oh yea. Then, the celebration started. Birthday songs sang at various languages. Si Mun and Sin Cyin even sang in korean. Wow. The birthday cake was creamy with chocolate. Nice. The gift was a wonderful board handmade, full of wishes. LoL. Everything was so right. It went well, and ended well. So, off I went.

Maybe I could use a new name. How about 'midnight blogger'? give me some opinions on this.

By JM

2009-12-03T18:16:00.000+08:00

After days of non-stop hard work, the Class Reader was almost done. What's left is just the computing files. Yeah.

It was yesterday. The last day and happy holiday. Hah! Sincerely, I thanked all the help from the librarians involved. Although they were active, loud in conversations, naughty at times, you all were the best. Thanks. I thanked the whole gang, everybody who helped.

Yesterday, I went to library again, for the third time in this week. The usual stuffy books greeted me. Well, I had to help choosing old books too. Wow, library books were really ancient. I saw the year 1955 written in some books. Books were covered with layers of dirty dust. Dust, made my nose itched. Their covers were brownish yellow after years of 'aging'. Out of all those old books, most of them were masterpieces by Charles Dickens, Enid Blyton... However, students barely read them.

For my lunch, it was the Ipoh Parade's food court again. LoL. Yon Sheng came along this time. We dropped by the place where the RFAs worked. LoL. We ate noodles which were the cheapest around, I guessed. Then, we strolled back down. Yon Sheng spotted his friend there, working as a promoter. I heard from him that they were friends back in primary school. Oh, then we chatted with Si Mun and Sin Cyin for awhile.

Back to work...

Anyway, it's Si Mun's birthday today. So...

Happy Birthday!

I watched New Moon for real now. It was simply fascinating.

I skipped my precious lunch for the movie due to short of time. yikes. During the movie, I just filled my appetite with plentiful of popcorns, golden yellow yummy. I drunk the rest of my Coke with ease. Haa.

Twilight was nice, then New Moon was great. I can't wait for the next one - Eclipse to be filmed and produced soon. Maybe it will turned out better. In my opinion, it was so thoughtful of the original author to bring the story to life with vampires and werewolves together in a set! What a perfect combination of story elements plus human beings too!

At first, I can't quite get the storyline. But then, it sort of came to me slowly and clearly. Vampires made deal with werewolves. Both are unique. Fast. I like the werewolves more. If you ask me Team Edward or Jacob now, I will say Team Jacob. Haa. Jacob was so cool, muscular indeed. In contrast, Edward was so pale white. As we can say, Jacob was hot, Edward was cool. It's like opposite poles. Fire and ice. Hah!

Anyway, the movie lasted for approximately two hours plus. We broke off. It was kinda fast. I bought food and ate up heartily. That was all.

By JM

2009-11-27T01:12:00.001+08:00

Wow. Class Reader for the whole day was exhausting. Not to mention the tremendous effort to keep those boys under control. Unbelievably active. Still in half-way, better than square one.

It was my first time to taste that RM4.70 chicken rice from Sun-Tet Sushi. Hah! They were going to sing karaoke. Looked fun, unfortunately I needed to stay for some matters.

Running out of ideas. Life's just dull recently. Someone asked me recommend books here, but I am no expert reviewer. However, I will try later.

New Moon

2009-11-26T00:16:00.001+08:00

Twilight Saga : New Moon, is on the hot track, right on course to total stardom. I watched the TV these few days and can't stop catching news of the new released movie. It premiered this week. It was expected to gross around 142.8 million, as the news said so. Hah! Unbelievable. Are everyone so obsessed with vampires' love now? Wow, cool.

This time, it is more packed with actions than Twilight. That's what I hope. Hee. Not sure when I can lay my eyes on the movie. However, it's just fun to know such buzz the New Moon made so far. Waiting for my ticket.

click here, Twilight Official Website as I can't describe much. Not when I didn't read the saga, nor New Moon yet.
