Cross country

The day started with a bloody tired body that had to wake up in the early hours of the morning. Did my usual morning stuff before i started the journey to school that was actually promising me great hopes and dreams. Before i entered the bus, realised that i was wearing my black leather shoes with trackbottom so i asked my uncle to wait and changed to my sport shoes. Not that it made any difference anyway. I never expected i'll reach my home again in a different mood alltogether.

So I arrived in school tired, and feeling kinda excited at the same time deep down inside. I'll have the cross country event at 8:30 am! , just when the first bell of the school rings. We assembled at the foyer at first and got seperated into our individual houses. I'm in the spirited Yellow btw, and i'm still proud of it. We did a few body warm ups and got to hear some motivational thing. The whole group of Yellow arrived at the Starting Point together and we met the other houses over there. The cross country event is divided into 4 categories btw. Class 1 , Class 2 Girls and Class 1, Class 2 Boys. So as I waved goodbye to the other classes who departed group by group to start the grueling race, I was slowly building up a sense of nervousness inside me. Haha. Not like it matters anyway, again. So we assembled there and got our faces taken by some Smartphone with this nice little camera. Not long later, the whistle blew, and we were off.

The famous uphill at the starting point is the killer, really. After jogging up the hill in a good speed so that i will not embarass myself to death for being last in the pack since start, i thought i could manage to pull myself through after that. But omg, my legs failed me badly. My whole leg was so numb or something and felt so so weak. I finished the cross country with my right leg all numb and both my legs struggling to stand up. It's already a well known fact that i will get 1 point. and I did. even some of the best runners couldnt get 2 points. A special thx to Kin for accompanying me all the way and no thx to Kin also for being a lanci prick the whole way through.

I arrived gracefully at the pitstop with a broad smile on my face and inserted my slip of paper with a big '1' in the center to the yellow coloured box. The Yellows were told to go to the foyer so we went, still not sure of the overall results. Mr.Ariff came in and announced we got Second.Gosh. We had 82 points, lost to blue, 84. and Red had 76. There were cheers and applause and everything except disappointment. We were so proud of ourselves. After that, we had our marching practices along with the cheerleading practices so everyone splitted up to do their own thing. All the things that happened after the practices were nothing compared to the news I heard during the assembly at the foyer after Lunch.

I went down straight to the foyer after the light cheerleading practice in the hall and i saw Aiza as usual speaking loudly and angrily at the students. Waited and waited for the announcements to finish and finally Ms.Ki, the sports coordinator this year, came out and spoke. She said she was happy bla bla bla for the success of the cross country and how 'disciplined' we were. And then after that, she started to read out the results. Below is what she actually said:-


Ms.Ki : You all wanna know the results for the cross country rite?

Students : YESSSS~~~~ (dragged long and loudly)

Ms.Ki : Ok, (opens her book) Red house, got 76 points. Blue house got 84 points. And Yellow house got 82 points.

Students : *Cheers, boos, jeers*

Ms.Ki : Wait! Before you are so happy, those are not the final results yet! The top 3 runners of every category gets extra points for their house!

Me : (OMG. SOUNDS BAD.)

Ms.Ki : (continues)... first place will get 10 points, second will get 7 and third will get 4...

Students : *Mixed emotions and words*

Ms.Ki : ok......if added, Blue is still first with 12# points!

Students : *Loud Cheer*

Ms.Ki : Red has 10# points and Yellow got 93 points.

Me : *faints* *and then looks at a few people from my house and there were this weird emotion in their faces. Little did i know I had that very same emotion too*

After that, all i heard was soft and blur mumblings but i managed to caught one more line from Ms.Ki

Ms.Ki : This is more fair because red has less members. Quality, not quantity is the most important.

OMG. WHAT IS THIS?! WE WERE ROBBED. TO THE MAX.
This sux. I'm sure it has ruined our spirit some way or the other. To say it hasn't is a lie really. AT first, every member in Yellow were really really so confident and so spirited. And now, this. I really really am worried for this thing. At first i was damn happy cause this year everyone this year in my house looked so confident, strong-willed and proud to be in Yellow. For those who were in Cahaya for many years, everyone knows it is a disgrace for someone to be in Yellow and everyone will become dead when it comes to team spirit(eventhough i don't agree). And for once when i noticed a change, this happens.

It is worst then telling us we got last without having a single clue of the results at all. Like i said to my other frens, we were pierced by false hopes and stabbed by the happiness that actually meant nothing at all. We don't deserve this, and neither should anyone at all.

And besides, if anyone thinks there are nothing fairer that the system that robbed Yellow, well there actually is one. I wouldn't mind getting last at all if there is this system where everyone in the top 10 gets extra points, not only the top 3. As in the first will get 10, second 9, third 8 and so on. Till the 8th place with 3 points and the rest who made the qualifying time get the 2 points. If u only take the top 3, it'll be ultimately unfair because one house may have 3 best runners and just because of that, they get an extra 10+7+4 which is also equal to 21 points. That is also, 10 and a half ppl who make the qualifying time or also a huge TWENTY ONE people who got 1 point. So so unfair.

Oh well, to look on the brighter side, next week there will be 40 points up for grabs! It'll be the under 18 and under 15 Tug-of-War competition for male and female on Tuesday and Thursday respectively. Today we lost 6, what's the big deal rite? Next week, with every little strength and determination we have, we're gonna own. Hopefully.



Till then,
It is not over yet.

Updated!

Bahaha. I'm entering the 4th week of school now. And i'm thanking it for the piles and piles of work and having to wake up at 6:15 every morning and suffer for 7 hours in a building which slowly drains ur life force away and tires you like you have never been tired before and eventually kills you with the pressure and the amount of work you have to do.

Wow, good job alexeO. You have survived 11 years including pre-school going through that torturing ordeal and welcome to the final 12th year. The final obstacle which will end anyone's life if they're not careful enough. It's the final year godamnnit! I'm supposed to be jumping for joy! Not crying over the tough grueling pressure! Oh well, it's the same case with Games I guess. You go through all these levels of play and u'll encounter one final tough enemy in the end.. but this time, it's real life. You don't get to load back ur saved games or save first before u face the enemy. You don't get extra lives to save ur ass or have any potions to heal you. It's the fuking reality! Argh.

I think it's the same case with real life.As in really real, Life. After going through many many years or the so-called levels of play, you will eventually face the final obstacle before you get the "Game Over" message. Let's just hope the message doesn't come too early or at least let me finish every single level and quest first.

Er-hem. Yea, American Idol 4 has started! I watched the 2 episodes last Wed and Thurs and so far nothing worth blogging about has happened yet and it's the same good and bad auditions over and over again. Some interesting stories though and some 'unique' ppl i guess but none really shook my attention. A different format this year for the top something stages and that's something i can't wait for. Hopefully this year it'll stand up to everyone's expectations! How's Fantasia and Diana doing btw? I can't find their Cds in malaysia anywhere. Hm...

Yesterday i went to 'arthur's place' for some party. And arthur is a person and his place means his crib. Not a restaurant whatsoever which actually sounds kinda suitable too. Yea whatever. So erm, before the party i had this Physics class in school on a saturday. Yes a saturday, and after that i went to my regular table tennis games in the Sunway Club with Kelvin , Jon and Adrian. Went home after that and got ready for the party at Arthur's Place. The theme was tropical btw and luckily i got this light blue shirt that has white flowery stuff and acts like 2 stripes going down on both sides. Ok confusing. But i can't show it anyway. So since there were rumours going around bout some 'water fight' or something, i was told to bring extra clothes but what the heck, damn dumb to bring a bag of clothes so i just decided to wear my 'tropical' buttoned shirt outside and a light coloured t-shirt inside. Wore jeans with it, applies some gel on my hair to have some Real Spike! And i was ready to go. What the heck.

Anyway, arrived there at about 7:35pm or so and bahaha, as usual, i quickly search for my friends and sat down at their table. The party at Arthur's place was actually to celebrate my classmate, Allen's birthday on the 21st and some other 3 ppl's birthday together. So anyway, didn't socialise much at first and i was having a good time drinking my shandy and crapping with my friends. The party was divided into a few groups btw. So couldn't get to know ppl that time. So as i was talking, Allen's sis, Arleen got really hyper and began to stack up cans and was throwing the shandy cans around. I ate the stuff they have .. (the potato salad and chicken wings were damn good btw) and then drank some stuff as well. I started off with some Jolly Shandy or whatever and then I was like, what the heck just gimme a beer! At that very moment, i was feeling kinda wanting to be more involved and fun so i actually asked for a beer from Prav...kinda rare situation but it happened anyway. Then everything happened like so fast, i only took like 2 cans or something.. Only. And i was feeling damn brave!hahaha! As in, i'm not scared of being embarrased which I usually am and started to laugh weirdly and loudly. I know i wasn't drunk. The beer just made me a little mixed up and nothing to worry about!

So i walked around with my frens and started to crap more and tell stories i have never told before. I was talking kinda loudly i think and that doesn't happen very often cause i always ask my loud voice friends to lower down their voices. I wasn't drunk. How can you get drunk over 2 cans anyway. I was just , brave. Then i was sitting down in this group with Allen's friends and ppl i don't know. Then i started to socialise and hopefully i didn't make a fool out of myself. My frens told me i was kinda drunk but i really really wasn't! Hmm. Got to know a few ppl and stuff...actually, come to think of it.. What a fun night! :D
(for the more embarassing incidents, ask me.) Visit my class blog,5 Science 1 for more info. :)

Lala. Time is passing damn fast now and i have school tomorrow. Zzz. I got holiday on Tues though and at least i got something to look forward to in school. The sports day this year is getting kinda hyped up cause i have 3 presidents of each houses in my class and the rivalry looks stronger and bigger this year. I'm really really not looking forward for what's gonna happen AFTER the sport's day so i guess i'm just leaving it like that. I have some prefect's camp coming too. And ZZZ. SO NOT INTERESTED! bahahaha.

Hmm. Crap, come to think of it, i don't even know if i have any homework. Zzz. What dumb education system i have to face. What dumb stage of school i'm having. Cross your fingers for me as I hopefully am gonna pass this year with a wide smile on my face and great memories in my head for me to cherish. :)

Cheers all!

THIS, is cool

Lol!
4th day of school. Freaking hella tired. :/
Mind can't get used to it yet. Can't get used to anything these past 4 days.
Sleeping hours are screwed up, not used to be doing work, not used to counting numbers...not used to be worrying for something.
I gotta change this. very, very soon. or best, immediately..

The 4 days had been enjoyable, with people being extremely friendly and at least we are taking this year with a bright note. People around me smile more and i hope the smile remain in the upcoming months. Zzz. Was asked to do a new year resolution thing on a piece of paper and write an essay on it after that in english class yest. IT actually made me thought of what i really wish to achieve and want from life esp, this year. School has been full of memories for me and next year it'll be taking a while to get used to the new life after many many years in uniform, morning assemblies, and stuff.

This is actually worrying me. Hmmm. Besides that, freaking sick these past few days. Body must been not working properly cause not used to my new tiring schedule. Sickening. Argh. Had a flu last 3 days and thank god the flu subsided. My voice sounds slightly different now...no! i'm not saying my voice broke. it broke long time ago! Grr.. but u know, flu? it affects ur voice. or something. Arh.

So, American Idol 4 is starting on Jan 19th. Weee! Damn excited. American Idol is like one of my favourite Idol shows. and yes, i do watch other idol shows online.. Malaysian Idol is not that bad too..we may be lacking the talent but what the heck, i enjoy it cause it's malaysian based. And yea, anyone knows anything about the released Diana Degarmo's CD? If you do, please tell me where can u purchase it. Will appreciate it lots! thx. And yea! i also bought Jaclyn Victor's Gemilang CD. I don't really know what the critics are criticising about the CD, i personally thought the CD was not that bad as reviewed.. there are even a few songs that caught my ears a few times i heard it and i know the lyrics for 1 or 2 songs already. What the heck was wrong with Tunggu Sekejap and When I Fall in love; both songs which are heavily criticised. I thought they were really good and nice to hear. However, Jac's voice may sound a little soft in the CD but nevertheless she sang really well. It's Jac. And i'm a supporter! =)

Hmm..let's see what else. yea, the reason i've not been updating the blog for a while is because i had an almost 2 months school break and i've been really lazy and my sleeping hours were irregular. I also really had nothing to blog about as i spent most of my time at home, eating, sleeping, TV, computer or the rest of the time i spent in my mum's convenience store, online. I went out with my frens a while but nothing interesting happened that is worth blogging about. Adrian Chong, my malaysian ex-classmate that went to Aussie to study is back though..n i think that's about it. Went out several times with him to boring ol' pyramid but the outing was kinda fun i thought. HM, my christmas eve and new year's eve celebration was kinda sad. Both occasions i spent my time in Coffee Bean with 3-4 friends and watched everyone spray each other with colourful foams. I didn't get to join in the fun as only Kelvin was the only one who seemed interested. The other fren had a boyfren and the boyfren wasn't looking keen. So what the heck, drank coffee and talked. I didn't mind it that much actually, i wasn't bored. I just knew i could had more fun.

And yeah, the Tsunami Disaster was horribly devastating. The death toll is staggering and the amount of homeless people is really really high. I really felt something for them especially when i tuned in to CNN last week and i saw their little clip of pictures of people suffering, women crying, child confused and injured, men dead. And the suprised people.. woah. I myself was surprised at this tragedy. On Dec 26th afternoon/night, i walked in to my dad's room and i found him watching CNN. As soon as i stepped into the door, he immediately said, earthquake in Indonesia, effects felt in Malaysia. At first i was really skeptic and was like, wtf? earthquake in malaysia? what happened to the facts i learned in Geography class last year about the Pacific Ring of Fire or something? and the stuff they were praising on how malaysia was freaking safe from all these and all. and stuff i knew since i was very young! But nevertheless, a small part of malaysia did feel it. Believe it or not, i know people who came running down from their hostels or apartments cause they felt the ground shake. I wouldnt think it'll be such a coincidence for any construction errors to occur at the same time. Ok, Maybe the earthquake didn't start in the Malaysia area. But it did affect Malaysia. And that's something. So the 8.9 earthquake wasn't the news of the year. The tsunamis that was formed from the earthquake was. Before any warning, countried around the indian ocean was affected by the devastating tsunamis. The damage caused will only be repaired after a very very long time. The hearts broken will be the hardest to mend.

Still, after so many days of reports in newspaper about the increasing deathtolls, the silver lining is that a few miraculous survivor stories are being recorded at the moment. Some exceptional especially the ones which caught my eye were the baby who was on the matress, the 9day at sea on a coconut tree and the one where the woman spent a long time casted away but was still thinking about her husband. I hope there are many more of those survivors still waiting to be found. And hopefully with god's will they will be found very soon. A sad event for mankind but it has happened, and people have to move on in life. I just wish the damage caused on the country and the people is hopefully the most minimal it can be.

As i sign out, let's just all have a moment for the people who had lost their lives in this tragic incident and pray for the ones who had lost their family members, homes and everything in their lives. May light be casted upon them to guide time and let them live their rest of their lives with the least misery possible. May help be given to them to help them survive and to not suffer. May the world learnt something from this tragic incident because there are many where one moment u were enjoying yourselves with your loved ones, one moment they're all gone.

Finally, Good luck to those who are facing any obstacles. Just remember, they're all part of life and in the long run, they are actually things that would shape up your life.

-Adios-

Lol, finally!

Yeah!!!! First day of school for school term 2005, and it's my last year too! I seriously can't imagine what's gonna happen after this year. Like Allen said, at least last year we know the following year we will come to school and all but next year it'll all change! So it's kinda exciting thinking about it but at the same time, this is gonna be a hell of a stressful year too.. dumb SPM. Argh, and the projects..and the classes which i will not understand a thing..all those. Damn stress man. And dumb NS selections...(PLS HOPE I"M NOT SELECTED!) i personally find it a terrible waste of my precious 3 months of party time after the SPM!

So erm, first day of school. Arrived in school, went to class, got a good seat. Nothing new, just a really really usual first day of school. First few hours was getting the exercise books and all and we had maths and additional maths classes after that. Was damn blah. Came home, went tuition. CRAP man, i'm damn hardworking. I'm not really looking forward for the next day of school and the whole year to be honest, but i'm really taking it day by day and hope it will all be over with the blink of an eye.. After that, let's just leave it to after that.

Have i mentioned that i hate camps? Lol. I'm really not the sporty kinda guy and camps are not my number one favourite thing. IF i got a choice, i rather spend my time at home. Sigh. Oh well. Compulsary camps are sad~

IT's getting later and later and lesser and lesser stuff are going about in my mind. I can't really find anything to type anymore for now. Hahaha, will post very soon. This is just a very bad time to update my blog. ZZZ. Had 2-3 hours of sleep yesterday and i'm a guy who needs at least 10.

So erm,
ZZZ
and

Gd nite.
