A blasting 40th STSL Annual Dinner

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

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


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


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


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


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


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


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

My Last Duty Shift

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

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

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

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

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

A long assembly

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.

Telematch

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.

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?

Librarians' 'Bai Nian'

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...

January ending...

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...

Weekend?

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...

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.

Second Day of First Week

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

Boys Meet Girls By Evan Taubenfeld.

Recently, addicted to his songs. LoL. Nice.

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

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!

By JM

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.

Good Morning

It was a bright sunny morning. I woke up abruptly when my alarm sounded loudly. So drowsy was I that I closed my eyes for another few seconds, perhaps minutes. It was dim in my room. Low light was shining through the curtains. It was rather serene, peaceful. I had to rush, everything. I had a quick breakfast. Coffee and bread, just typically nice. I love'em.

Minutes later, I was in the newly-built 'Foh San', situated in the city center. It was crowded like last time. I rarely eat here. If you are new here, you will take it as a grand place-like building, not a place to eat traditional chinese dim sum. Dim sum-s were delicious, I reckoned. I savoured them one by one. 


Out of the corner, I caught a familiar figure, Wei Herr who was back. Hah! He only noticed me when I called him. Hee. We got some nice seats - in front of the counter, facing the road. Warm breeze rejuvenated me for the rest of the day. Dad chatted the his best friends. Every topics brought happy laughters in the air. Everyone was happy, why not?

School was the next pit-stop. I went in and found the school's grounds were rather empty. I ran up the staircase to the library. Still not many students here. Hmm. Well, I thought they were all in their respective exam halls. Wish them luck. I went around and found the others. 兰姐 was so nice to help and select some old, unpopular books for Class Reader. I appreciated it very much. Thanks. 


Most of them were busy stock-checking. Books piled up mountain high, undone and mixed up. Everybody were diligent at their tasks. I read for awhile and found the clock was ticking away. My phone rang. It was my dad. yikes, I had to take the long turn now. Oh my, a few more minutes walk, I was fine with that.

End of the story...
