SPM

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!

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)

Clock's tickin'

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?

Life, Learning, Future.

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.

After Trial

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.

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

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!

SPM Trial is around the corner.

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.

Back to school. XD

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.

Essays

Last weekend was the weekend of essays. Cuz I did BM essay, EST essay, Chinese essay and even a English essay today. Haa. So much fun but my hand was tired. Geez.


Justin Bieber was hot recently. I like his songs. Nice. Too bad he was so young at his success, but I'm just a nobody here. Oh man. This world. In fact, I'm listening to his songs while blogging this post. Cool. 
Eenie Meenie Minie Mo Lova! Haaaaa..
Exam's coming. I have limited time to finish my revision. Rush man. Pure rush and fun. Haa. 
The lower sixes are enrolling in next Monday. Haa. Wonders huh. 
PL lessons for them? Uncertainty 
One question, 'Why there are so many concerts this year? and every concert has a ticket of RM10?' xD
I'm broke and friends are selling tickets. Oh man.
Mathematics month.
I'm going to Singapore soon. SIMC, I can't wait. 33 schools must be lots of fun! Hell yeah!
Training? You tell me, I go. Luck.


Good luck tomorrow ya. Hee...

Red Alert

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.


By JM

What do my future holds?

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?

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.

By JM

End of first term

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

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?

Surprise

Exam was over. I hoped all the best for all my friends. Although it was difficult, relax now. It's over.


The last day I ended with something cheerful. Honestly, meeting only, I thought.


Special duty. I will do them in the holidays. Can't come on Sundays cause of particular reason. I was really absorbed into the whole meeting mood back then. The surprise or celebration never crossed my mind, not even a spark. Although it was weird when Sin Cyin texted me the day before, I did not suspected anything cause it's normal that the meeting will last until 5.30p.m. However, I found out the time showed 3p.m. when Yi Xuan said 'it's over'. I think he said that or otherwise. I was thinking, what am I going to do to kill my time then? 


It went weirder when Yi Xuan closed the lights off, saving electricity. Hah! Dark... Eh, what's wrong? I saw candles flickered in the dark. And there was a cake, with chocolate chips and fruits' toppings. Oh my... 'Is this it?', I thought. They sang birthday song. I was shocked. I don't even know how to response properly. You can say I was stunned. They made me wished. Hah! Then, the present was, urm, rather creative - a handkerchief sewed with their names and an additional 'smiley'. Hah! I was touched with their sincere even though the gift was nothing luxurious. I was satisfied. Well, the cake was deliciously sweet. We had fun and laugh. Shock, happy, then still stunned....


Parade, I had a brisk walk with them. And a glass of Hazelnut White Coffee. Yeah! Then, we chatted. After that, walked.... Later, home....

Wait?

A week of exams had passed. Another week left, which should be the next week. However, it was postponed. yikes. Another week of wait is the last thing I want. Never mind that. I think I ought burn my time in some activities or assignments of clubs.

From my observation, this final exam was nothing worse or better than the previous ones. It just the same. We just see things on the outside. We never spend some time to think about the inside or hidden truth. You will never know what happen. This is a free world. People advance quicker than some do. Fair competition is barely in existent. Gotta rush for most of the papers. Some mistakes, serious ones that are enough for me to be regretful. I felt like a fool.

PMR had just ended. I remembered clearly in my figments of past memories. I was just those brats facing PMR, same time, same place last year. May be our feelings ain't the same. That's all. The past remains as the past, history. Mistakes can't be undone. I felt hopeless. Hope don't always seem bright and by my side. I sat by the canteen corner. I looked upon them and thought what would it like if I walk in the exam hall again. Form 4's life appears to be tougher.

Recently, internet's connection could get as slow and inconvenient as it can. I was fed-up with the continuous disconnections, lag, crash down of several programs. Damn. Accounts going weird and down. My head hurts sometimes. I was confused and disappointed. Wanna study but can't concentrate enough.

someone just wed' today. The broom looked cheerful and happiest of all time. Will wed' and love do such impact on someone? I wondered.

The Exam 'Hall'

It's exam week. My SCHOOL's exam week. DARN. Three days & 6 papers in the FIRST week. About 11 hours long. Even my hands were tired and 'sprained' due to the continuous writing. Legs' muscle cramp and my back hurts. The exam chair ain't good quality, straight up 90 degrees. 

EXAM HALL ~ quiet and seems 'ghostly'.

Nobody is 'alive', suffered from the tension of facing mid-year exam. Teachers are the only one 'alive'. Walk around freely, hands off, no worries in them beside to pass that period. In contrast, us, students had a hard time struggling with questions prepared by teachers to push us to maximum 'velocity'. Maybe they can't even answer those questions themselves. 

When the papers are on my table, it's a complete stranger to me. However, I must convince myself by thinking deep down in my subconscious mind,  " 'You' are my 'friend' ". 'You' ain't gonna Knock Me Down. Thoughts only, can't easily be reality. If you think I'm mad, go ahead. 

EXAM TABLE ~ shaky and earthquakes occur.

I found myself unlucky. I had a companion during my exam, which is my table. The table provide me with 'shaky' writing ground. Table's always full of 'conteng' and 'drawings'. They are artistic in style and wise in words. THANK YOU, MR.TABLE !

Back to EXAM HALL ~ now is full of chit-chatting and 'messaging'.

Our school (not all) culture is unique in all ways. That's why we are well-known. You know, exam is a important process. It brings out all of your potential, creativity, intelligence and courage. Chit-chatting, is it allowed or not? This line had blurred since the last few years. Well, what do you think? .. 'Messaging' via papers or friends, is it legal or illegal? This case blurred me too. That's our future hopes. During exam, no cheating. After exam? A student cheated after exam. Does it count? He cheated in a new way. It shocked me. Nevertheless, he copied my papers WITHOUT my PERMISSION, or not even ASKING. He did after exam and before handing the collected papers to the teachers. Are the teachers blind? They should go for a check if yes. It angers me. Damn, you're good. I salute you for your bravery and ideas. I despise you for your immoral actions and backstabbing.
