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!

Relieved

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. =)

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)

The search for other existence should be continued.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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. =)

Taylor Swift New Look - Hot as always!

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

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

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

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!

5S1 Awesome Class Party

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'

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

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

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

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.

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.
