Haze-d

Condition already worsened. Really really bad. In my 17 years of life, I never experienced such....phenomenon. Things are really blurry. Ahh. I will post photos I took very soon.

Malaysia in state of emergency from pollution haze
August 11, 2005

The Jakarta Post - KUALA LUMPUR (Agencies): Malaysia entered a state of emergency Thursday as air pollution levels soared to extremely hazardous levels on the west coast, which is worst-hit by smoke from fires in Indonesia, an official said.


The choking smog has blanketed peninsular Malaysia for more than week, disrupting airports and shipping, panicking citizens and raising fears over public health.


"We are now in a state of emergency," a National Security Council (NSC) official told AFP after the environment department said the air pollution index (API) reached 529 in Port Klang and 531 in the coastal town of Kuala Selangor.


An API above 300 is considered hazardous.


The prime minister's office confirmed that a state of emergency existed, and said the NSC would make a public declaration later in the day.

The NSC official said that although only the two west coast locations had exceeded 500, the measures would extend to the whole of the Klang valley in which the capital Kuala Lumpur sits.


The measures will include closing schools, advising citizens to stay indoors or wear masks outside, and even beginning rain-seeding in an effort to wash away the dust and smoke hanging in the air.

Amid rising health concerns, Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi telephoned Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, and offered to dispatch fire fighters to help contain the fires, which have created the increasingly thickening hazesince last week.


"The President responded positively to the offer," an aide to Abdullah told The Associated Press. He did not elaborate. (**)

Hazey Public Speaking

Yes. Hahaha. Hehe. How do I start?
Ok anyway, my school's having its English Week this week. I was never so involved in an English week until this year, the reason mainly being this is my final schooling year and all. There'll be no such thing as this week anymore when I leave school.

So yesterday was the opening, with some quizzes conducted for the lower seconday. Today was Public Speaking.

Oh my. From now on, i'll never ever not prepare if I am to join a Public Speaking competition. Yesterday went offline at 2am just to find a topic. Couldn't print myself so i sent Shyan the file and she helped me print the 5 pages about earthquakes. Little did I know that I would actually waste her paper and ink.

Arrived in school, Shyan's sister passed me the papers(shyan was absent btw). So i read through and tried to pick out points etc. Pls note that at this point I still had NOTHING ready. Went to computer room to help with the design of the 3on3 Basketball Form and Pei Huan saw what I was about to deliver for Public Speaking during Breaktime. She advised me not to talk about something I don't know cause i'll surely forget.

How true she was!

But i wasn't stubborn and I listened to her. She gave me an idea of talking about my years in SSC since this would be my final school year. So i listened and thought it was kinda interesting. Afterall, since there was no articles to refer to, less chances to be stuck. And all this happened just 15 mins before the Senior 4/5 Category.

I gambled and it paid off, i think.

As I was called onto stage to speak on my topic which was entitled '7 years'(how cool is that. 7 years means 7 years of SSC btw), I received loud applauses from ppl from my class especially. That really shook my nerves away. So I started and woah, ppl laughed and cheered and etc. I couldn't believe I could actually do such thing. I never expected to be on a stage and make ppl laugh like how they did...

It felt like a dream, really.

Even halfway, i was already saying to myself,''I can't believe I was actually doing this."

But regardless of anything, I finished it and my spontaneous speech was a success by my standards.

Hehehe. Proud of myself.
And oh yea, to whoever who heard me today. Jus wanna let u guys know that :-
1) I wasn't showing off
2) I mentioned Chrisanne not because of anything else but to show that a person whom i talked about even before the school started can be a good friend. I mean most ppl who i know are my close friends too. Not just chrisanne. So no misunderstandings pls.
3) If i could i would had spoke about other ppl but my mind couldn't think properly on stage.
4) I really wasn't prepared so forgive me if I offended anyone in particular.

That's about it for the Public Speaking part. There's a Drama Competition tomorrow too where a team from my class would be representing us. I was actually the director but somehow i was rudely fired. Grr. But i'm still helping though. I wish them all the best!

The following day would be the Debate Finals. Between my team and Haris team. Whole school will be there for I don't know what reason but one thing's for sure, I wouldn't want to embarass myself on that day.

And...
HAZE ALERT!!!

The condition of the haze has gotten from bad to worse. This is really terrible. When I step out from my school it feels like someone is burning something right beside me. Really burny smell and bad for the health too.

Take care of your health everyone!

Science Stream

It is extremely sad if you are under the 'weak-students' list for every single science subject.

Well there isn't really a list... but u will know if the respective teachers have you under the 'weak' category.

It is not really my fault, isn't it. I like to say i do not have the logical left side brain and in truth, have more passion in the arts field. Not that i'm incredibly talented in drawing or anything but I just prefer it more. And the reason i like it is not simply because it is easier to do.


Few months back, during the FIRST term examination returning of Bio paper.
Bio teacher:- "Wow Alex! 60%. Not bad! Check if I marked correctly"(jokes)
Me :- (deep down) *wtf*


2 Days ago, during one of the 'lectures' of my Physics teacher to the class.
Basically he didn't put it into direct words but he was referring to a few students in the class when he showed his frustration. Like saying so and so are weak and still not doing anything about it and kinda tried to motivate him/her. And yea, I am one of the so and so.

Just today, during Chemistry Class while doing revision
Chemistry Teacher:- "Alex! Go do that question on the board"
Me :- "I duno ler"
Chemistry Teacher:- (looking annoyed) "You don't know and still not trying to do. Not referring to any notes at all. Just looking at the question won't help u solve the question"
Me :- (thinks) *well she got a point but i never bring my notes anyway*
Chemistry Teacher:- "If you say you don't know. Drop la. Drop chemistry since you also don't know"
Me :- *rolls eyes and looks away in denial*


................hm.
All those situations basically says it all doesn't it.
Science stream, those are the 3 main subjects. And i'm not really doing a good job with it.

If you consider Additional Mathematics to be a science subject too, what more i failed that paper 4 out of 5 times already. So i guess it's considered terrible too.


Sigh. I like to put it as I chose the wrong stream but even if I can turn back time I don't think I'll change stream. The more I sigh, the more I respect the ones who scored 16As, 17As for their SPM. Incredible. You guys rock.

In response to Dad's statement on SPM's getting easier because ppl are scoring more and more As, :- It is not getting easier. Ppl are just getting smarter.

;)




Gone were the days when i can be proud of my report card..

Crap results


2 ppl were voted out of Malaysian Idol 2 first spectaculars hours ago.
And it has to be the best 2.
Trish and Atilia.


I was talking to my brother just yesterday night about MI2.

Me : Eh, i think there are only 2 ppl with unique voices this year in MI2. Trish and Atilia. The rest have just normal good voices.

Bro : Izzit? Ok..


And now..
They are out. gone.


Nothing to look forward to anymore. I'm sorry I didn't vote for them. I'll watch next week but I don't have the same excitement anymore.

There goes our unique MI winner this year.



Saddened and stunned
-alexeO-

..gone were the days

*stares blindly at the window and sighs*

Went through Friendster for a little while just now, just to overcome my frequent boredom and to lighten up my meaningless life. So surfed around and came across a few Srikl-ians who I remembered. Vividly, i was having memories and reminiscing about the past..where many years ago I used to be there, spending time with my friends around my little school world.

How much things have changed since then.

The more I browse through the more surprised I get. Friends who I remembered who used to look a certain way in my mind changed dramatically. Not to an extent where they are not recognisable anymore but just changed alot. Ppl who were my close friends back then were of my biggest interest and deep down inside i was thinking if they even remembered me at all. "chia yuan, chia yuan!" they once called out. Hm..

So much so that I kept thinking what will happen if I hadn't make the bold move of leaving Srikl to the school i'm currently at now, SSC. So many things wouldnt have happened and so many things would. I wouldn't know 95% of the people I like now and would remain close to the Srikl-ians who are still there. The thought is scary but I'm not sure which would be the better choice, honestly. I mean i love my current class and all but I could had just been happier if I actually stayed.

Well that's life rite? The fact that we will have to make decisions and not being able to try everything first.

Hello to any Srikl-ians who know me and who are reading this but i doubt there is any. I just want to know that I really do miss some of you guys eventhough I was only about 10 that time but a boy has feelings too. Heh.

What can I do now eventhough if i was to regret anything anyway. I'll be 17 this year and this will be my final schooling year. The best thing I can do now is to appreciate the things I have and not look at any possible wrong move which I may had made.

But I know I wouldn't forget it 100% cause I'm Alex. So screw it.

And the thing that scares me is that, i'm a bad decision maker and my decisions normally go astray.

So i may have just screwed up my life with the decision i made 7 years ago. Lol.



Hmm. Makes me wonder.
-alexeO-

Ambuussshhh!!!

What freaking luck! My team once again won the debate!! Go team! eventhough my english teacher was stressing on how close it was over and over again, we still won by 200 points i think. the total was 2400 to 2200 or somewhere near there.

Once again, 'taken away' from the convenience of simply double clicking WoW then spending hours on it and denied access to another world which seems more suitable for me ;). Dad's com once again had been shifted back to the projector room so i'm left with my soundless computer and brother's laptop. Zzz.

Shaved my moustache last night. How horribleeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
:(

Ariff today told me that he does not have my physics file which he urgently needs to be submitted to the ministry. Only mine is missing. Crappy. Gotta do roughly about 5 reports today. The sad thing is, i have no idea about the graph sketching or diagram drawing for every report. Duno what to do now. Need helping hands now. Argh. Worried ****!

Everything's shooting me at once so i hardly got any chance to avoid the 'bullets'. Been shot many times already so erm, i'm kinda used to it. My life's pathetic because if things do go smoothly, nothing bad will happen at all but when things are to go wrong, it all comes tumbling onto me all at once. And i'm already half squashed as i'm typing this.

Alrite.
Tired.
Not sure what i'm going to do after this.
Tuesday.
Tomorrow got tuition.
Sickening.
Stress.
Bwahaha.
Who am I kidding?
No one.
Ciao

kiddo

A day before Praveen's 17th birthday(16th July), went over to Rainforest with Allen, Kelvin, Adrian, Richmond, Chrisanne, Shyan and Prav.

Had a great time drinking. And eating the blueberry cheese cake the girls bought. I only had roughly 2 bottles including a Tequila shot. I felt kinda high though and they said i was drunk again which I was quite sure I wasn't. Anyway, happy belated birthday Prav! Glad he had fun. Went to mamak in ss14 with Allen, Prav and Richmond after that. I must say though, the car ride there was hella fun. Bwahaha.

Blogging with my own computer now. Sad that Dad wants to use his com back and now i have to resort to this sound-less, less good PC which cannot support WoW. Had some problems with IE with dad's com anyway. I wanted to post so long about the birthday outing a day after the event but the IE hanged, 3 times. Zzz. So i'm just typing whatever i remembered.

Thinking bout Prav's birthday makes me wonder about my own upcoming 17th birthday. I've been through alot these 16+ years and finally knows where i stand in the world. Heh. Looking forward for my birthday. Afterall, when it comes, I will only have 2 more subjects left for SPM. Only one month to party after that including my driving lessons. That's extremely sad but gotta live with it.

My mid-term examinations are over, finally. Took longer than it should be but it has ended anyway. Results are back too, unfortunately. Just know that i've passed everything(yipee!) and failed nothing. Got a couple of high scoring subjects(bwahaha i rock) but it's expected anyway. Nothing outstanding but slight improvement in certain areas i guess. This exams shows where i stand.

Talking bout exams, my class is really feeling the pressure over SPM. 3 months more to study. That's a really scary thought thinking that i've hardly done anything yet to revise. My seemed-almost-impossible dream is slowly slipping away further. Honestly speaking, i don't think i'll be disappointed if i don't pass SPM with flying colours. I just want to achieve good results based on my standard.

And don't even bring the 7As for PMR subject up. It's not related at all.

Was taking photos for the SSC Photography sessions last few days. Freaking hot weather and still had to do it, with my camera. The teacher who was in charge took pics with his camera to as a backup. He wanted to use my digital as it is easier to be developed or something like that.
So basically, the whole school knows me now. Took pic of every single person who was present.
It's not over yet though, on Monday gotta take admin photos and photos of teachers.
Hmm.

I got a debate semis coming up. If u remembered, my team won the first round(I blogged it a few posts ago). So this is supposedly the second round or the semis. 3 teams made it to this round so we gotta fight the 2 teams. One team will be knocked out so there will be 2 for the finals. I think it will be based on overall marks over the 2 rounds or something like that.
Gonna have the first round on Monday against Haris team if everything goes to plan. We'll see what happens then.

My name is in the list for Public Speaking too. It's gonna be a day after/before the Debate Finals on English Week. Had no interest at all initially, but thinking as this will be my final year in school, i guess it's no harm trying. Afterall, my history with public speaking competitions is reasonably good. ;)

3am and thinking of what to do besides chatting is quite sad. Days are passing fast and the things i am not looking forward to is coming nearer and nearer. Pressure increases after every breath i take. Every heartbeat seems to be mounting more and more fear in me. Ppl are stressing their brains out, fun seems to be a non-existing word these days.


N do i look like i give a damn?


^^ not very likely eh?
-alexeO-

Oh..my..






I passed add maths.





alexeO

Boom

Freaking hot day. And I had to help to take Junior class photos from Year One to Year Six including clubs and societies.


zzz.


So other than got burnt in the blazing sunlight, i guess everything is cool.
Got senior photo shoot tomorrow. And those not completed on Monday. Another day. Nooo.

Got several results back. Duno what to say. I'm quite happy actually. But i know alot of ppl wouldn't be if they have my results.
So i duno. I'm average scoring boy again. Average in my class. Like somewhere in the middle.

Wanted to play WoW but damn lag while trying to connect. I think it's blizzard. And streamyx is lagging again anyway.

Prav's birthday is on the 16th. Happy early birthday!



Yawn.
-alexeO-

Hahaha. Life

IT"S ALL OVER!

Freaking prolonged 3 weeks duration exam. Wtf man. Damn tense my mind.
Now can relax a little before I start working hard for my next exam.
Bwahaha. I'm really gonna work. I'm not kidding. I've learnt my lesson.
;)



and I mean it.

The London bombings were a horrible tragedy.
I'm really sorry to hear that. I wish all victims RIP and my deepest condolences to their family members.

Congrats to Lee Chong Wei for showing the world Malaysians should not be written off just yet. Hehe.


Now, time to relax my mind!
I'll work soon! Believe me!
Bwahahaha. Fun mode, activated.


Weeeeeeeeee

Exams are a gay thing

Hey all. Went to a wedding dinner yesterday night.. I thought the ballroom was huge and damn nice..but my parents disagreed and thought they had seen better. -.- They probably know more anyway. They had this little orchestra thing with a flute, piano and a cello i think.. It was not bad. Then they had this friends who could sing and they had The Prayer duet! The girl was quite good.. The guy was not bad. I dressed damn smart. Sad that I didn't take any photo. But i wore a gaya buttoned black long sleeve shirt. Not mine anyway. I'm such a sucker.

Exams are tomorrow, unfortunately. And I have little hours left to complain. However much I would like to state my rebuttles on the importance of exams, no one cares anyway so I will just have to live with that.

Will start studying after this. This exams are like 100X worst than the first exam as the school is gonna use SPM format for this. So the whole exam would be 2 weeks + 1 day long. 2 weeks exactly for me i think. With papers everyday. Sigh. I'm more worried about Week 2 as there would be all the science subjects and stuff.

And oh yea, the SPM timetable is out too. I guess I can only yell my lungs out on the 30th of November. There won't be any papers on my birthday anyway but there's Chemistry the next day. What-sad-life.

Studying too much is unhealthy. ;) But i've been studying far too little. I feel really bad, honestly. But ... argh.

My timetable looks a little like this :-
Day One
Moral
EST - 2 Papers
Day Two
BM 2
Eng 1
Day Three
Bm 1
Eng 2
History 1
Day Four
History 2
Day Five
Maths - 2 Papers
Day Six, Week Two
Physics - 3 Papers
Day Seven
No papers
Day Eight
Chemistry - 3 Papers
Day Nine
Additional Maths - 2 Papers
Day Ten, Week Three
Biology - 3 Papers


So I guess I wouldn't be blogging much for the next 2 weeks or so. The funny thing about this exam is, even if it's over, you wouldn't feel any much better. When this exam is over, SPM's nearer. And we have all sorts of trials coming in very soon after this. So what the heck, I'm just preparing myself to face the pressure. I'm gonna adjust to this life and learn to get used to it. It's all in the mind whether I can actually take it or not.

Ok. I'll go off complaining about my life again while revising my moral.



Adapting to exams
-alexeO-

Tee hee

Today was my debate day.
Hahaha. Freaking. Was damn fun!

Anyway, my team and i were debating on the topic Should Prostitution Be Legalised. We were in the proposing team, ..and no. It wasn't on purpose. So erm, we debated with the team from 5 Arts and hell..it was fun!
Firstly, i'll like to state that i'm not the debating kinda guy. Don't really have interest in it. But it doesn't matter now. Hahaha. So we debated, and debated, took turns to speak etc. Hahaha. The real debate however, started AFTER the debate. I'll explain.

The 'judges', and may i stress 'judges' ..comprised of who else but my frens who think they are qualified(i'm not saying they're not), suddenly wanted to ask us a question after the debate. So he asked and we defended ourselves and in the end caused so much havoc. Haha. I'll have to ask permission from the judges first before I post the conversation. I'm glad i stood up for myself anyways.

It was recorded on camera anyway! Hahaha.

My team was announced winners after that.. with the Best Speaker going to me.

O_O!!!

OMG. I was seriously damn shocked. I'm no showoff. What's there to show off anyway. But really. Hahahaha. Best speaker. :D

My english teacher commented on every speaker and i remembered she said she liked the way i talk but i have to improve on my body language. Don't scratch head too much etc. Hahahaha. I can't stop laughing. Hahahaha.

Hahahahhahaahaha. What a fun day.

On a less brighter note, I got a project to do which 93% of the students handed in already. I still got lots to complete. I'm having a headache again. zzz.


Project(s), here I come!

Biology and Life

Had some really really unhygenic experiment at Bio class today. We were divided into like 4 groups and had to drink different volumes of water. Then we gotta urinate it out and measure how much volume of urine we can get after every 20 mins.

Freaking! O_O
Felt so weird the whole time the Bio class was going on. Oh well, at least i can actually write a report for an experiment now..

So life's pretty hectic as usual. Been seeing life in a very negative aspect this past few days. Hahaha. Been hearing songs too! To try to balance out everything.

Lots of work to do. So little time. No mood actually. Everything seems out of reach or just too difficult to manage. I need a permanent advicer by my side. :(

I heard Carrie's Inside Your Heaven already. Damn nice. Must listen! Other than that, i'm really starting to like the Lifehouse song that has been playing on Hitz.Fm over and over again. You and me? Something like that.

Life's such a burden.
Haha.
Y can't i actually start to enjoy my final school-year?
Such is life i guess. The unfairness. Tsk tsk.


Off now
-alexeO-

National Service

What is this big fuss thing going on about NS? Today in tuition, a couple of girls i overheard were saying stuff like how much they hate NS and who got chosen in their class etc... I ignored, thinking it was probably a prank by their friends..

Then I reached home, checked my phone and realised Nimi had asked me if I got chosen for NS. Then immediately after that, Haris sent me a message and said apparently some ppl got chosen already etc.. and thought me how to check through sms.
After that Chrisanne called me and asked me if i got chosen..apparently her 'cousins' got chosen for it.

And just, Allen called me! Asked me if I got chosen. I told him it may be fake news, but he just told me his friend got it.


Har?!!!
Y the list came out and i know nothing about it?
Sent the SMS twice already. How sad. No reply.

Argh.
If this thing is true, pls pray i am not chosen.


Confused
-alexeO-

Movies to Watch :-

Mr. and Mrs. Smith

Madagascar

War of the Worlds

The Island

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Batman Begins

The Interpreter


Woah. Seriously man. Damn many nice movies are out or coming out already. Looking for company for these movies that i must must must watch! I'll update this list as soon as i realised i missed something. Hahaha.



Movies, here i come!
-alexeO-

Mr. and Mrs. Smith

Went out for a movie today at boring ol' Summit. The place where you have nothing to do except for movies, San Francisco Steakhouse and probably the amusement centres which includes bowling, pool etc.

Caught this show btw.



Great movie!
I'll probably rate it a 9.2/10 ... The 0.8 point missing is for some really 'delayed' scenes. Haha. But it doesn't really matter anyway. Really really cool movie. Damn damn gaya! :D I recommend this movie to everyone!

Feeling a little tired.
Not enuff sleep. Zzz.


Watch the movie! :)
-alexeO-

New old things

Haha. Arsenal's new kit! I like it damn alot. It's supposed to be a tribute kinda thing kit..supposedly they try to make it look like the one the Arsenal team of 1913 wore..first year at Highbury. It's a gaya kit.



Gaya.

Btw, Nadal just won the French Open. Freaking chun player. Won Federer twice already. And only 19.. he's only 2 years older than me!! And already achieved so much. I feel so...weak. Haha.


:)
-alexeO-

'Saman' boy

Seriously man.
It's getting scary.

Btw saman is a malay word and i don't really know the exact english word for it to be translated to. Damn used to phrases such as, 'kena saman' or ....erm..kena saman.

So anyway if u dont know what saman is. Ask a malaysian. If you are a malaysian and still dont know what saman is, i suggest you change ur nationality ASAP. :)

Ok btw..i'm saman boy. Really man. Not that i'm the one who always kena saman or gives saman...but somehow.. whosever car i sit in... will kena!!!

SCARY! as in like... duno how long ago...last friday i think. I sat in Allen's car. He was driving me home after we played pool in summit. I was sitting in front btw. His younger sister was behind. Since our sense of directions are equally as bad, we decided to go to my mum's shop since it was nearer to where we were.

Suddenly, traffic light. And it turned red. Allen just drove passed it when it turned red.

Bad move allen.

And yea, police at the next turning immediately stopped him. Wtf so ngam got police there. Haha. And kena lor. I know it's not really my fault. But i felt bad cause... i felt i was partly ...at fault also! Argh.

Then today. Just!
Kelvin's mum was driving me home from school(we had some physics extra class thing).
Kelvin was rushing his mum if i was not mistaken cause we were gonna have the Undang seminar at 2pm.. So his mum was exceeding the speed limit a little i think.

Bad move kelvin's mum.

Police stopped her and bla bla bla kena saman as well.
Omg damn sad. I felt more at fault this time. If only she didnt fetch me home..she would had used a different road.. and wouldn't rush as much.

Nooooooooooooooooooo.

Conclusion is, i'm Saman Boy. So try to avoid me being in ur car if u are driving. :)

Gonna go off to my Undang driving seminar now. Sigh. Hopefully they'll teach me a thing or two to remove my saman boy jinx. ZZz.
Gonna ask about my colorblindness too!

Alrite. Time to go.

Btw, i was just joking about the not driving me thing.


Bai bai
-alexeO-

Toilet paper, pls!

Sigh. What a tiring tiring day. Last night or early this morning i should say, i slept at 3am, earliest so far since the start of the holidays. Ok i actually went to bed at 2am but i couldn't sleep because i woke up at 4pm that day. So i tossed and turned and finally got to dreamland an hour later. What a waste of time. Gosh i was struggling to actually fall asleep! Why can't i have the same tired feeling i have everytime when i wake up??! ARgh. Unfairness. Btw, i went to bed that early was because I have some kinda Bm Tuition Exam at 8.30am the next day, which was this morning.

Woke up at 7.30am. Noooo. Tired like shit but i got out of bed anyway.

Arrived just in time for my exam thingy and spent a good 5 hours there doing 2 BM papers.

So after the whole stressful exam thing, I took Kelv's transport to have some lunch first since i didn't eat anything from morning. And oh yea, we wanted to look for the Undang place too.

Freaking. And this has to happen.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, my intestines ached and shouted for pain. Gosh. Not even a single warning! My tummy ached like hell in the car. It's not those normal stomachache where u need to shit badly thing. Or those really painful gastrics. It's a combination of both. *Scary music plays*

Anyway, i decided to tahan a little while more as the feeling may just, u know..go away. So erm, arrived at the cafe.. ordered my food(still holding in the pain), and ate. Finished my food. Pain gotten worse. Then i decided i should just go to the toilet. ASAP. *please note that i'm still very tired due to the lack of sleep the night before*

This was where the real fun started.

Hahaha. Freaking dumb. So i did my thing in the really comfortable toilet for a lil while and as i was getting ready to 'leave', wtf. The worst possible thing happened.
Looked left, no tissue. Looked right, no water.

...............................................................
(silent pause)


...TOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What-the.
OMG.

Hahaha.
I eventually got of the situation though. Clean. Though not very, but still..clean.

Btw, American Idol 4 is finally over. And damn happy Carrie won. Hahaha.
Can't wait for the release of her single, 'Inside Your Heaven' on June 14th.
Buy her album guys! Kakaka.

I'm having my 2 weeks holidays starting from this coming Monday. Yay. Too bad I won't be able to enjoy it to the fullest though. Exams and shit. Hahaha.
Happy mood. Off to listening to Carrie or this Tong Hua song again!



Adios!

Ownage

Lol. Got this from Atif's site. Hahaha.



I own.

-alexeO-

Heh.

Was browsing through the cd consisting photos that t.e burned for me yesterday and i came across a few photos that i thought was really interesting. How everyone looked in 2003,2004 and now.. how much they had changed or simply not at all! Haha. I am in a lazy mood now so i guess i'm just gonna post the group pic that was taken after the trip to the autistic centre for our moral studies project..



Btw, the biggest talent-search competition will come to an end tomorrow. American Idol 4 Finale in a few hours time!!! Wohoo! Can't wait. Bo vs Carrie should be interesting enough to watch. Eventhough Bo screwed up my prediction a little.. haha. I don't really mind actually. He got to me after his performance last week. Damn good i tell ya. Hoho.

I should be at school now anyway. But decided not to go after i realised not many would be going. Today my school had the seminar thing which would last the whole school day ..It's happening now as I type. My frens planned not to go as we didn't pay and thought it would just be a waste of time. Afterall, i always go with the flow. So i'll just see what happens.

Hope to 'study' a little later. You know, so i wouldnt feel so bad and all. I really wish to be able to understand a little more about what i'm actually learning in school. Hohoho.

Alritey. Blogging mood over. ~_~

Arsenal FA Cup Winners 2005




YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Greatest moment so far this year for me! I was at Gazebo watching the match with my friends who are all MU supporters. Throughout the match everyone was tormenting me especially after the disallowed goal. Whatever it is, i sticked through(just like arsenal) and managed to have the last laugh! HAHAHAHAHA!
Was a great feeling anyway. I liked the atmosphere. One group cheering each time a penalty was scored. I remembered being part of the 'group' though..who celebrated after each penalty was scored. When Scholes missed, i already knew it was like 90% there. HAHAHAHAHA! Then Vieira finished it and we WON!!!!

Congrats Arsenal! Jens, good job!!!





I'm having fun,heh

A rare update

American Idol has their top 4!!
N the funny thing about this top 4 is..each represent a genre of its own. Meaning, 4 contestants with 4 different styles of music!

Anthony - Pop
Carrie - Country
Vonzell - R&B
Bo - Rock



The gayaness.
Woohoo! Damn excited for the next show tomorrow.

Btw, the Amazing Race 7 finale tomorrow!!! Eventhough my fav old couple is out, i still dem excited for the show. Hahaha. Hope Rob & Amber don't win though. Whatever the outcome, i'm sure it's gonna be damn kan cheong.

Hm. Currently very engrossed with WoW(World of Warcraft). Damn fun game. Currently level 19 but gonna be level 20 soon. Level 20 is where all the cool spells start coming in. Huhu! Btw, i'm playing Troll Hunter in Azjol-Nerub. My character name: Oexela. Join me guys!

Yeap, i've also approached the time where the teachers will start asking us to study at home...then scare us with the amount of time left for us to study. SPM's not long really.. I really gotta start putting in some effort. Still need to buck up my Chemistry and a few chapters in Physics. Add maths need to really do some self practice. Gonna have tuition for it tomorrow after school..hope to practice it there. Other than that, I really need to set some time for this stuff. Hmm.


And yea, went Koi Lin's 17th Birthday Party on Saturday night. Her house is a really really cool place. The best part of it it's the pool and the amazing architecture. Really great place to stay! Let's just say i've found my very new dream home! :D ... The party had a DJ blasting us with great music all night long. The band that performed was pretty cool too i guess. Had 1 can..so i didn't get drunk. Haha.
Talking back bout the pool, EVERY guy that went from my class got thrown in. I was actually the photographer that night and i was enjoying myself taking shots of the victims, realising that i'll be safe as long as i keep slinging my camera over me. Anyway, when I realised EVERY guy had be thrown in that night except me, i quickly went up the stairs to hide. Then in the end i had no choice and had to make a call with my fren's phone located, downstairs. So i went down...still with my camera and made my call..

Somehow or rather, a friend(not involved in the throwing at all) was asking for my camera that was dead in batteries. I duno what i was thinking but i took it out and passed it to her.. Suddenly someone grabbed me from behind. From that time onwards, i already knew there'll be no escape and i was happily tossed to the pool with my phone, wallet, socks and shoes removed by the 'gang'. Hahaha. It was really fun though. I enjoyed every moment.

Speaking bout the photos, the photos turned out real bad! I'm really such a noob in night shots. Every photo was either blurry or there's something wrong with it. Really disappointed with that but i know it's over. Here's some of the pic of koi lin's crib anyway(i'll post pics of ppl soon enough):-







Upload at photobucket is taking far too long! I'll post the pool pic and pics of ppl next time.. Argh.
Till then,
Ok. I guess that's enough for an update.Hmm.. Gdnite guys. Thx for visiting. ;)



Lots of love!

6 more months, 2 days.
About 185 days roughly.

I don't know. I'll rather see it as 6 more months. or 24 more weeks. It sounds nearer.

Haha. Nothing else to say.


-alexeO-

I need to update.

Today's my school's Open Day. Parents of students are supposed to collect their Report Cards and 'discuss' with the teachers bout their respective childs.. discuss their marks and all that. Zzz. My parents would be back in 20 mins time and they will pick me up and go to school together. Sigh. I'm bound to get scolded. I already can sense it. Afterall, who fails their additional mathematics paper 4 times out of 4 exams? Even with tuition? Zzz. So if you don't see me on MSN anymore, u know why..

And yea, today's not only the report card collection day but visitors would come and 'hopefully' apply for the school. There's gonna be lots of performances and if i'm not mistaken, the performances have already started 7mins ago. My main point of going there was for the performances. Summore i've already promised Kelvin to meet him there at 11. Hahaha. I don't think i'll make it though.

Ah, American Idol. Once again a disappointing result. I've given up complaining already.

My frens and I were just discussing about 'life' the other day and lolz. So many stuff that we don't usually talk about came out. I realised i'm like the only one having the 'problematic' life whereas my frens just have 'confused' lives or 'lonely' lives or even some who just want to seek perfection. I dunno man. It's like, i'm born with all these type of weird diseases, some G6PD deficiency, colourblindness and all that. And i can't even get a smooth sailing life to balance it all out. Bah. But i'm not complaining yet though.

Yea, i guess it's time for me to face my nightmare. If i'm not mistaken, my marks were better than last year's finals... I hope i can bring that up as my defensive point. Hohoho.



Heh,
-alexeO-

I need a beer

The FA Cup Semis has just ended and the finals will be played by Man U and Arsenal. A long awaited classic? Nah, i rather have arsenal fight Newcastle to be honest.. Now the media is gonna have alot to 'say' coming to this match. Van Persie rocked btw. Great great player. In holland i heard ppl say he's better then robben.. I guess it's finally showing now. :)

Yea yea, what else. Congrats to teck eng too for receiving the student of the year award. I envy his hardworking character and being able to be playful at the same time too. That psycho. I really like that guy in a straight way. Hahaha. Funny guy.

Tomorrow's gonna be a start to another boring boring week. The only thing i'm looking forward to is the holiday on Thurs? Lol. Freaking gay usual school weekday routine. Argh. I can't believe i'm actually dreading school. I really really used to like it. :( Oh well, back to waking up early early in the morning etc. The pressure n stuff. Sigh. Life really do suck at this stage. :/

Oh well, just gotta face it i guess. Time to go~

American Idol

I can't believe it.
I can't can't can't can't believe it.

Don't READ on if you don't know who's eliminated from American Idol Top8 yet.


I can't believe it.
Nadia.
Gosh. The best performer without a doubt. Best. Greatest of All.
First Jessica, now Nadia? What is America doing?

I'm stunned. Speechless.
Nadia is my top 4 at least.
However much i love everyone in the top 8, i still think she shouldn't have left so fast. Between Bo, Scott and Nadia..Scott should have went. Between Bo and Nadia, I really prefer Nadia. I'm shocked to the max.

Vonzell has to win it now.
Vonzell and Carrie for the Final 2.
End of story.

Thank you for your time.

Fuking. I'm pissed.

I'm fuking pissed. My parents called back about 20 mins ago. First thing asked,"Are you home already?" . Me, assuming they were just curious about my exam results that i got today, happily replied,"yeah".

The next statement from my parent shook me.

"No computer, remember."

What the fuk? What the hell was that all about? My whole 'great respect' for my parents crumbled just like that. I always thought they were the only ones understanding us, my siblings and i. I always defended them as though they were the most precious things in the world when my siblings got angry with them.Oh how much I regretted. After all, i never understood why my siblings got so angry with them sometimes. I didn't know why until just recently.

Going back to the phone call, I hastily replied ," Huh? Why?"
Let me just briefly stress out that NO good reasons at all was said back to me. All was just things like 'because u have to study'. The conversation went something like, :-

Parent: No computer, remember.

Me: (wtf) Huh? why?

Parent: Huh what why? Don't argue. No computer. Today is a weekday.

Me: So? No reason why not to use also.

Parent: I said don't argue. No computer. You have to study for exams.

Me: *bewildered* HUH? but exam just finished last week!

Parent: Exam *pause* SPM. Study for SPM.. so no computer.

Me: What the..even if i don't use the computer also i won't study.

Parent: Good! I prefer that. Go and sleep the whole day as long as u don't use the computer.

Thinking that the conversation is too one-sided and doesn't make sense anymore, i tried to talk some sense into them.

Me: Exams just finished last week! Let me rest la!

Parent: Rest using the computer? No. I said don't argue. These days u argue alot. Don't argue with me.

Me: I"M NOT ARGUING! argh. I am just making a very honest discussion here.

Parent: Don't argue. No computer.

*parent hangs up*




Ok. End of conversation. Obviously, they just beat around the bush without stating any reasons at all. I am fuking pissed. Why can't they just let me do it on my own? Why can't they just let me be? When i was taking my PMR, were they like this? No way. Far from it. What did my dad thought i would get? 4As maximum. I got 7. When my older siblings took their SPM. Were they treated like how i am now? No. Far from it. They just let them be. And they were happy. Think this is the best way to make me study? No way. Far from it. I'm someone who can't just concentrate on something 24/7. When u take away my so-called distraction, everything is gone just like that. My concentration goes missing, my attention will not be there.

Why can't they understand that everyone studies differently? Why can't they get it no one studies as much as they want them to? Why can't they get it is my fuking future and if there's someone to ruin it, it's me. Why can't they know that i'm mature enough to understand the importance of SPM and my education? Why can't they at least ONCE respect that i exist and let me choose my path of life for once? Why can't they let me be independent enough to make my decisions in life? Why can't they understand that i do not wish to be treated as such? Why am i treated so differently from everyone else? Why do they so easily get influenced from other parents? Why has my parents change? Why has my life change? Why?
Fuck, i'm pissed.


To change the subject, i got a few of my results today. I had 74% for History which is good if you compare it to the class average. Highest was 88%, lowest failed badly.
I needed ONE mark to get an A for History. Gonna see what i can do about it tomorrow with my history teacher. I had 60% for Moral Studies. I thought i had done badly but i was shocked at that results. It was soooo much better than expected. Highest was 80% and once again if you take the class average, i did well. And yea, to top things off, for these 2 subjects i beat some of those so-called 'smarty pants'. So really proud of myself...heh. And yea, the spoiler of the day was my English paper. I had 73%!!! OMG. English teacher said she was disappointed and bla bla bla at the class but yea i am disappointed with MY results. I didn't get an A for god's sake. *faints*
Highest was 80%, then 79% then 76,75,74... So i'm like about... having the 6th highest mark which wasn't so bad, eventhough i expected to get higher.

Ah. Blogging is great. Feeling better now. Forgive me for the tantrum though, and the vulgarity. I'm not like that everytime and i'm sure everyone knows that. :/

Okey. Hope something great will happen soon to balance everything out.




Ciaoz.

No regrets. Not the slightest.

Exams are finally over. Weee. Could had posted this earlier but was busy playing or Friday, and the whole of yesterday i was out. So i had little time. :)

Ok. So erm, exams are alright. Chemistry ended with a good note i guess. It was easier than expected but that doesn't mean i would score high marks. I just expected it to be more difficult. End of story. I SHOULD pass it though. ^^

Starting from the first day, BM and English was alright, History was ok. Moral was gay for me, my fault( i didn't bother to memorize the dumb stuff ) . Er, Bio was slightly to the tougher side...Add maths was impossibly tough(as usual). Maths was alright eventhough i doubt i'll get an A. Didn't do many questions due to my slow brain. Physics was to the tougher side. And chemistry was okay. Est, SHOULD be able to score. Ok. End of Report. :)

Yesterday, went to the regular physics class. Nothing to talk about. Weird as usual. Then, went to badminton. :D Badminton was fun though. Won Kelvin straight sets :P, and lost 1 set to KY and won him another. The deciding 3rd set has not be played though. Oh yea, i think i'm organizing a friendly badminton tournament among my class to. Details at my class blog. :) After that, went home, showered and Atif picked me up to Summit for their futsal match against my form. Went and makan with the guys after that. Played some foosball in summit(i realised how much i suck), took a ride to Section13 in Shah Alam when they played pool(realised how much i suck too). After that went home and went online for a while. Was damn tired so i slept.

Exam results are all THIS COMING WEEK! NOOOOO! If i got a choice i'll rather not take it back. But i don't. So zzz. At least it's better than doing it. Hahaha!

Okler.
Eyes damn watery. Hands dem tired.

First term examination and Malaysian Idol

Yeapz. So far completed my BM, english, history and moral studies papers. BM and English was okay, history was easier than expected and i've never done so badly for moral before. Hahaha. The moral paper was easy but it's my fault as i didn't bother memorizing the 'nilais' and its definations. Oh well. This upcoming week is gonna prove to be the hardest one of all with all 3 science subjects , add maths and zzz.
Wish me luck. Can't wait to be here typing again without any exams to worry about!

Bio's tomorrow. WISH ME LUCK!!!!

Btw, the auditions for Malaysian Idol 2 is gonna start and the tv and radio stations are already beginning their hilarious advertisements. I couldn't join last year as I was only 15 when the audition took place but this year, i'm eligible to try. Hahaha! I damn curious and really wanted to go but i dunno yet now. Mixed feelings. Will see when they come to KL! Btw, here's a pic i took when i went to a MI show last time! IT's the top 6, RnB week.



Yea, gtg now. See ya all very soon i hope with a smile on my face!(HOPEFULLY)

Welcome to my Life!

Gosh.. Simple Plan concert was amazing. Eventhough it was as packed as the Incubus concert, suprisingly i didn't find it difficult to breathe at all! It's definitely not the growth in height but somehow.. it was probably because i was rocking all night long! It was amaaazzziing! Almost indesribable. The people there were great. All knew the lyrics and that makes it so so much more fun! And the best thing was, Simple Plan promised to come back! Hahaha! I know some may argue almost every band in the world that visits will say that. But, they better! It's a promise man. I'll start counting the days from now. :P

Arrived at 3:45 pm, gates opened at 7:00pm. Wanted to get a good position but ended up having the same position as people arriving at 5pm or later. Haha. The position i had wasn't that bad though. I was still one of the front rows and gosh.. it was a fantastic place. I really got quite a good view and I enjoyed myself to ...argh. Hahaha. Fun night. Really really fun night. Like many of you know, I really really like Simple Plan! Fav band. Their songs are all great and there is no one song i dislike. I was so glad i had their new album and they played me against the world!!!! Hahaha.

And oh yea, Atif managed to grab an autographed poster too when DJ Utt threw it few minutes before Simple Plan actually came out.

Hehe. I lost all the strength I had for Shut up, I lost my voice at Welcome to my Life, I lost my senses at Me against the World. It was seriously good.

Their encore performances, esp Perfect was woot! Hahaha. Pierre came with a classical guitar and strummed. The reason it was so good is because everyone actually sang. All knew that song. Hahaha. Then the band joined in and it was a fantastic end.

I do sound like i'm exaggerating a few things but i'm actually not! Hahahaha!
Fun fun fun!

:) Like you can see from my typing style above, i'm extremely tired now. The concert was just a few hours ago and i still can see myself jumping up and down. Hahaha.
Can't stop laughing. Huhu! Thx Shyan for the opportunity. It was FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!


I WANT SIMPLE PLAN!!!

p/s: Oh did i tell u guys i'm colourblind too? Just checked. And it's confirmed. :)

Photos and photoshop-ed photos

I recently just updated the photos for the MSSD basketball zone level to my class blog where my school eventually emerged as runnerups. Haha. Here are some of the pics which i added caption onto them.
You can find many many more of these original pics in my Class Blog.



Haha. I find this rather interesting because i actually didn't plan to edit the pics so soon but zhi ven was asking me to do it for my Class Blog. So i was in the mood and started with my work! I can understand how nooby all these pics are but my knowledge of photoshop is really very limited. :)



I like this pic cause it's just damn gaya. I don't remember if this shot went in but i'm quite confident it did. If only i took this 1 second later where he was already jumping a little bit higher. Oh well..this isn't too bad.


A quote by Ghandi. The original one is actually something like ,'The measure of success is not by the result, but by the effort put in'. Something like that. I find it incredibly meaningful though. :)



Haha. Sorry if the caption is a little erm..=/. :P I really thought like about 30 secs for it. And hey, it isn't too bad also!



This caption was originated by Zhi Ven. He actually edited one pic and then somehow asked me to delete it from my Class Blog and asked me to do a new one. I think this is not too bad either.


And there it is. I took so many pics on that day i can actually find more where i can practice my photoshop skills on. I shall post the edited pics here as soon as i do them. Hehe. Exams next week so i don't think i'll have the time. :)



Till then,

School and SP

Weee. So my computer is back again.. this time i have a totally new monitor! Some Samsung Syncmaster thing , some model. New wireless modem. Old one got fried. Bla bla. Nothing to talk about really, dont want to think bout it anymore.

Today. Let's see.

Yea, the one thing special happened today was .. the form 4s and form 5s had to go up to the hall at about 1pm and listen to some kinda talk by a former Cahayian student. Alina Ee was invited to give her speech and told stories about her journey to success etc. Was kinda interesting as we had another look insight the former Cahayian of the Year and the Cahayian top scorer. Oh well, i have to admit her talk did affect me a little in some kind of motivational way but dunno ler. Mixed feelings all inside me as usual. :/

Survived the worst day of the week today and gonna have the supposedly best day of the week tomorrow. I'm judging in terms of the subjects for that day. =)
Also had tuition just now and my poor mind currently had surpassed its limit.

Yea, Simple Plan's concert next week on the 29th. What a great time. Sandwiched in between my exams, this concert really know how to pick the time. Sigh. I already know i'm gonna regret like hell but i have no choice really. Nothing to say, try not to remind me about it anymore in the near future. :(

Ah what else. Feeling damn tired now mentally. Physically i'm still alright but duno ler. Gonna have tuition tomorrow again and Thursday. Exams are next week so wish me the best of luck.

I guess that's all for the moment.
Thx for reading this dull dull post.

No time to jam, it's time for SPM

How annoying can the world be? Is education over-rated? Y must every single person in the world excel in everything they do? How significant is a straight A result? What happens if you fail in your education? What else do you lose besides a good name? Why will someone ruin their reputation if their respective examination results are below par? Once again, how annyoning can the world be?

Is it just me, or have i not know the truly significance of it yet? Is this what an 'immature' person would think? I'm honestly not sure. Please care to explain it to me. I'm stressed out. I want to be left alone.

I hate the state of life i'm in right now.

Sandwiched between the pressure of getting good results and my personal problems, the world i'm living in right now is really heading nowhere. I do something for a reason which i do not know what, I live a life that has no direction or any sort of goal. I try to live and enjoy my life individually and seperately day by day , not thinking of the long gone past or the future..but ppl tells me that is wrong. I worry each day about my grades and problems with my mind wandering about in the future and the past..but ppl tells me that is wrong.

I'm lost and confused. Like a little blind mice. At least the 3 blind mice had company. I'm alone in this.

My everchanging ambition is the only thing i'm depending on now. Currently i'm very very interested to be involved in Designing. Whatever sort of designing course i may pursue, i know i'll still have lots of fun and enjoy it. Besides, my creativity isn't that bad too. I still can picture objects in my head and know how to bring the effect out of something. And i guess that's something.

Because of that simple reason, i am gonna work my butt off for my SPM examinations later this year. I'm no engineer or doctor, i just don't have the brains and determination for it. I'm lazy, i do not know why. My discipline is horrible, must be badly trained in school from young. My memory is the worst you can find, again i do not know why. My personality is too carefree, once again got something to do with my low level of discipline. I'm beating around the bush again, and this post is heading nowhere. If you got any advice, i need it. Thx.

Ah, so the SPM results collection was on last Thurs if i'm not mistaken. My seniors who mostly now are already in their colleges came back to SSC for their results. As soon as one arrive, the whole bunch suddenly swarmed it. Suddenly the school's office was flooded with ex-cahayians who wanted to collect their result slip. Many were approached by my schoolmates, many greetings were exchanged, smiles were of a plentiful, congratulations were made and i noticed no tears. Maybe i missed it or something but i certainly didn't see anyone crying whether for joy or sadness.

So the results of my old frens were passed on by word of mouth from one to another and i got to know some of my old buddies results. I was pleasingly shocked by some of the results in a good way and was quite surprised at some of the results i saw in a slightly less better way. =)

As the day went by, I was at a point sitting alone thinking to myself... Next year, it'll be my turn. I began picturing my friends in their home clothes coming one by one and saying things like "hi, long time no c"..."how have u been doing"..etc. I was thinking bout what i would get and how i would react to the results. I see some of my friends screaming for joy whilst others crumbles under the pressure. Some were very disappointed by the corner and i was yet to collect my result slip. All i thought that time was a disappointing result and i just couldn't think of a fantastic result that would make me happy. I actually felt the sadness in me. The disappointment. The hopes that people put on me crushed.

After a long while of thinking, i began to try and think of what will happen if i managed a good result somehow. The happiness. The joy.

And i want that feeling. I want to feel happy. I want to keep the hopes of my family and friends alive. And for that, i'll work hard. I'll try to work towards achieving my goal. I really really want to be happy. I want to have tears of joy on that very day, not sadness. I want to be proud of myself. I want to finally achieve something in life. I want people to look up to me. I crave for that feeling that i imagined about. The very feeling i felt in December 2003 when i collected my PMR results Slip.

My emotions do whirlwinds in me everytime i think of it.
My mindset is changing as i type this post... this is confusing. Something is pulling me to it yet something is pushing me back.

Pls. Someone guide me. I really really want to do it. But i just ..... :(


To change the subject and end this pointless topic, i recently did some quiz thing to know what kind of person u are, bla bla bla... so here are my results! I did the Nerd Quiz and the Loser quiz and i must say i got a result i'm satisfied with! :) Here it is!





Hahaha. I'm a cool guy.
After that i was damn bored so i surfed around the site looking for other quizzes and i found this. Damn, this was a close call but yet.. :D

I feel better now.

Sports Day, and the never-looking-forward-to Prefect's Camp.

The postponed Sports Day was on the 4th of March last week if i'm not mistaken.. exactly 1 week from today. The reason i did not update sooner was because I went to a camp the very next day after my Sports Day and my computer was fried by lightning. MY computer's still not back yet anyway. The computer guy took it away and has not returned it yet. I'm on my bro's laptop now.. Freaking funny keypads ...damn hard to type. Argh. So anyway, the 1 night camp was kinda fun, better than i had imagined it would be. On monday i was extremely tired but i had no choice but to go to school on that day eventhough i just returned from the camp the day before. ZZZ. Back to boring ol' school with the 1 week holiday the only thing i'm looking forward to.

Anyway, Sports Day. IF you had been reading my Class Blog, you would know that ..............YELLOW WON!!! WOOOT! WEEET! WAAAAT! Omg. Seriously, what better time can the house victory be achieved? It's my final year goddammit. And WE did it! Gosh. I remembered being overly excited and happy that day. But the feeling is fading as the days are passing. Damn. Whatever it is, Yellow still won. At least now we can prove many many ppl wrong. :) . For all those who doubted Yellow, hahaha, i duno what to tell u guys also. Oh well, we let the talking be done in the stadium, and what great talk that was.
Congrats to the 2 Junior fellas and Rong Xuan from Senior 3 for grabbing the Sportsman/Sportswoman of the Year award. You guys make Yellow feel like champions. A special congratulations to Chung Wei Ling(Red) from Senior 3 too for grabbing the senior Sportswoman of the Year award. No one else deserved it more than you.

Ok what else. Cheerleading. Congrats to Yellow once again for winning! Hahahaha. March past..congrats blue.

Bah enough with the congratulations shit.

Btw, here are some photos i took. For more photos or for any special requests, pls msg me privately. Thx.

These photos are either just the Yellow house photos or the photos which i thought are my favourites. Many many more photos i took WILL be posted up in my Class Blog(5 Science 1). The link is available under the Link section in my blog at the sidebar to ur right.

Yellow, Champions 2005.




Ok.
The next day after the tiring Sports Day, I went to a camp which i was very reluctant to go at first. Freaking prefect's camp. Freaking Camps. What are they for anyway? To let ppl suffer and live in a very uncomfortable place? Bah. So anyway, departed to camp at about 7:50am. The whole bus was waiting for me as I was late(as usual). Said hello to my frens and took one quick look at Huey Shyan who was busy giggling away with my other frens. She had not experience a good day the day before. Blue house got 3rd overall and 3rd for cheerleading. Saw her smiling with her red face all rosy so i gave a small grin, left my big backpack on the seat and sat down.

Managed to take a short rest in the bus and arrived at Broga Campsite at about an hour plus from departure. The place was almost exactly the same compared to 2 years ago when i was there as a probate. Haha. Time flies. Now i'm part of the senior batch of prefects and I'll be sitting for my SPM at the end of the year. Time ...omg. Too fast. I can't take it. ARghhh! *pulls hair wildly*

Anyway, got there and we got our very first "seminar-like" kinda thing. Damn boring. Tought us about leadership skills, how to manage time, omg. Freaking boring. I wished i had taken photos anyway. But too risky to bring a camera to a campsite. So i did not take any bergaya shots or any photos at all.. sorry. After the boring talks, we got divided into 2 teams. And guess what, i was put into the underdog team again. Actually i was not even sure if the team i was in is an underdog team..we won every event that we competed....we showed more spirit, more teamwork...hm.. Anyway, did the water rafting again. Exactly how I did it 2 years ago. Haha quite fun actually. There's this big pond which the flying fox cables were overlooking and the water raft was good man. Damn lazy to explain in details. Just know that we had a few bamboo sticks and four huge airdrums and rafia strings. That's all. And it was like Survivor man. Hahaha. I loved these challenges!

My team, the Swedish Reds completed the raft in no time so we got a huge headstart and finished the task quite fast. I can't really remember what happened after the water rafting events but i do know we had a couple of free time and a campfire that night. The campfire wasn't that bad too. Had many fun games which omg i almost laughed my head off. My team's applause, yell and skit wasn't that bad too i guess. We did what we could with the amount of time we had.

The next day was the so-called 'rough day'. Zzz, for every camp i know there'll be this day where u do all the physical demanding activities and i suck in all this kinda things. However fun and enjoyable it may look, it'll be damn hard to do it when u try. Or when I try rather. I'm a noob. And a useless piece of shitz. My team had to do the Obstacle Course first. This dumb obstacle course lookalike playground has strict rules and we had to start all the way from the beginning if we fail to comply to those dumb strict rules. My team had to redo about 3 times and freaking was it tiring. So many obstacles i thought i could have done but when u are actually there, omg. Can't man. Whatever it is, i still managed to complete it and ignored taunts from Christine. GRr. Thx Praveen and Vincent anyway. For helping me throughout the whole damn thing.

My team went to the flying fox next and seeing Shyan(from the other team) sitting on top there for 15 minutes scared me. Haha. I just loved the adrenaline rush when i was on top waiting for the strong winds to reside. Looking down, i thought about the thrill of the ride i was about to go on to. Damn it was fun. And it wasn't the low kinda flying fox. It was actually kinda high and was overlooking a big pond. The pond where my team so gracefully won the Water Rafting event. Hahaha. The wind began to reside and.. I was OFf!! AHHHH!! Haha, thinking about it makes my heart skip a beat. What a thrilling ride.

After my whole team had completed the Flying Fox, we went to the High Ropes and saw the other team still stucked with a few more members not even starting yet. This High Ropes thing was kinda new and i never tried it before the last time i came to Broga. It was freaking scary the first time i looked up. How u are just hanged with the cable thing(i forgot what it is called) and if you fall, omg. scary man. Thinking about it, it was actually damn fun. We actually had to go to 4 stations on different trees and complete each station before anyone can go on it. When i climbed the ladder up, the guy who was in front of me was screaming like shitz and because of extreme fear, he actually fell. To cut things short, i was part of the rescue mission since the ropes are actually interconnected to one another and since i was already on the first platform, no one can reach the ropes needed but me. What a terrible experience. I was already damn shaking and panicky and right in front of my eyes that guy fell. So bla bla bla, my turn was up. And the freaking first rope was not easy. It's called the V-something. My rope actually went out of position before i actually finish the thing. After that I completed the rest and woah. Satisfaction man. I did not think i could do it and so did anyone. Once again, I proved people wrong! Hahaha proud of myself.

What pulled me through those obstacles was a strength i never felt or experienced before in my life. As i walked halfway through the ropes, I wanted to give up, i really did wanted to. But i suddenly thought about the people who had always teased me, insulted me and never gave me a chance. I thought about many moments where I was criticised for not being a 'guy' and being too sissy and how i have to be more manly. As those thoughts began to play in my head, this inner strength i never thought i had took over and made me complete the whole obstacle ropes thing. I was proud of myself. I think i'm beginning to understand the meaning of "believing in yourself" now. :)

Whatever it is, i've done it. Completed it. And i went home with pride and a whole new level of self esteem.
There was an invicible grin at my face and a huge cry for joy in me. But i never showed it and i don't think i will. Hehe.

Ah, I wanted to blog also about the SPM results collection by my seniors in my school and how it affected me but i'm afraid my ramblings would take up too much space and thus make this post a too long of a post. After all i have quite a few things i want to say about it too. =)

So now, till next time..
Ciao!

On Cho Yat, we had a little mini photo session in the house. Every family got to take their seperate photographs and we took one huge group photo with my bro's Canon's camera. I gotta resize and edit the photos cause the files were too damn big.

The whole of last week my relatives came over and did the usual CNY stuff...except this time it was a little different on new year's eve and we didnt go out for dinner in some fancy chinese restaurant. We had steamboat in the house! It was kinda fun cause it was kinda 'lau juak'(hokkien) cause everyone was there, laughing and all. Zzz so hard to explain.

Still in the CNY mood! Call me if you got an empty seat at your mahjong or blackjack table.. :)



Till then,
HAPPY CNY!

*edit*- I got this quiz link from friendster and i thought what the heck so i decided to try it out. My results! :-

You Are A Romantic Realist

You are more romantic than 50% of the population. You tend to be grounded when it comes to romance. Sure, you can fall hard... but only for someone you've gotten to know. And once you're in love, you can be a total romantic goofball... But you'd never admit it to your friends!

Are You Romantic or Realistic?

One of the best days in life, one of the worst days in history, and one simply average day. I've experienced it all. All in 3 days.

Last Wednesday was simply, dreadful. It was the day after the day(Tuesday) when My house, Yellow bagged 17 points in Tug Of War out of the total 20 in the Boys event. Being the sometimes optimistic person i am, i thought that great incident will just be the start of a very good week. How wrong i was. How horribly wrong i was.

Tuesday ended great with me listening to the end of school bell ring with a smile. Yellow had just completed a day of great success and we crawled up the House Standings up to 2nd place. Weee. Nothing much happened after that and i got home, did my usual stuff and finally got to my bed early at about 10pm. EEp. My point was not to sleep early, rise healthy or something like that. I actually had something on at 4:00 am. Arsenal Vs Manchester United, the match where the whole world had their eyes locked on, the match where I just cannot wait for.

At 3:55 am, i woke up automatically, before my phone alarm rang. Omg.How often do u see that. I believe that was a sign actually. I believed i was meant to watch the match. So i just closed my eyes after that for a little while and got to my senses at 4:05am. Turned on the TV, was freaking great. Arsenal was celebrating and my internal stuff in me was partying. Vieira had just scored from a header. Easily. I was already thinking about a definite 2nd place and looking at the pathetic faces of MU fans. Kaka. Later, Giggs equalised. My body was not that crazy anymore and i was beginning to focus more on the match, fingers crossed. Then the legendary and fantasic Bergkamp scored another. Great. We went into half time 2-1 with the pundits saying that they do not see Arsenal losing. I didn't see it too. Or maybe, I did.

Second half started with a blow from the whistle by Graham Poll and to cut things short, the fake Ronaldo scored twice and O'Shea added salt to the wound. I can remember being stunned at that time and immediately went back to my room to my bed. I closed my eyes and i can remember being very very disappointed. I couldn't even stretch my lips upwards when i try and i didn't know what to do really. It was already 6 at that time, so i went to the bathroom and eventually waited for my school bus. It was one of the worst days of my life. The more i thought about it, the more stressful i get. It was not easy witnessing a rare Arsenal lost. Especially to MU. I strode off to school and found myself lucky when a whole group of MU supporters from my class were not in school as they had to participate in some Volleyball Inter-school competition against other schools who are in the same district as my school. Everything was dead after that in school.. there were so little classes and everything was a bore. ZZZ.

Thursday came and things didn't really look promising at first. That day was when they had the Tug of War events for the girls under-15 and under-18. To be honest, i never expected the results at all to be so and so at all. Again i was proven wrong, by a large large margin.

8:30 am. *ringgggg!* We had to assemble at the foyer and the girls who are participating in the Tug events had to proceed to the field for their warmup or something. Being a patriotic Yellow, i was really really hoping that we will achieve our target of winning at least one match in each category so we will at least end up 2nd place and not last like how our girls always ended up every year. Red and blue had to pull first and to cut the story short........

WE GOT FIRST FOR BOTH CATEGORIES!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is like a full additional..omg... 20 points for us. The Yellows were seen crying for joy(not literally) at the end of the events. Hahaha. Our spirit is great this year. I can see great things happening for us. Overall, we achieved 37 out of a total 40 points for the Tug of War events. Great great start. So far, we are in the hot seat leading by 6 points. The Sports Day is getting really heated up. It will be great if Yellow actually achieve something this year..for me at least, where I had already done all i can and personally faced ONE year as the champion house and the rest....right at the bottom of the standings.
Anyway, that day was actually one of the best so far in 2005. I needed it. I needed it badly.

Then it was Friday and things were looking kinda blurrish and tiring. I know i had a Table Tennis MSSD tryouts at 1:30pm and god, how i was looking forward for it. It is already my final year in School and my final year to participate. The week after this is gonna be a holiday for the CNY.. I could had ended the day happy, but all i had was just a, =/

The school started with a dull dull computer class and they were teaching Visual Basics. ZZZ. After that, i had my physics class and funnily, i understood much more than i usually did in physics. Even funnier, the twin who is sitting beside me in class who had always always advice me to pay attention and study when i started to talk is not there at that time! If i'm not mistaken... he MAY be the problem that i am not paying as much attention than i should in class! hahaha. So we studied, and usual school stuff except there is something to look forward to...the 1 week holiday! Bah, i have an add maths project to do anyway and some other homework so it actually balanced out my happiness and sadness level. At 1:30pm, i got down to the foyer for the Table Tennis MSSD tryouts with a few of my classmates and started to get a little worried.

I really needed it. My will was there. My determination, maybe. My mind was ready. My body was not. I'm a kind of person who needs at least 15 minutes of warm up before i can get to my best. How long did i get? 5 mins. To break my confidence level even more, i picked out one folded slip of paper and after praying for a little while, i realised i had drawn number 1 and i had to go against the guy who had number 2 on his paper. HOW LUCKY. Seriously, the whole week i was hoping that i can avoid that guy and look.. YAY! AND TO MAKE THINGS WORST, it is a knockout system and is divided into two sections. YAY. so if the best 2 is drawn against each other in the first game or if one section got the best players and the other section is not that good, it will mean that we will not be able to send our top 2 for the school! even better. AND TO FINALLY BREAK THE CAMEL"S BACK, the game is played only 1 set. Some ppl may be saying,'nah, 1 set is nothing really big actually..' OMG. ONE ELEVEN POINT SET. THE ELEVEN POINT SYSTEM IS ALREADY BAD ENOUGH. BUT IT"S BEST OF 7 AT LEAST. This? Best of ONE. OH GOD. WHO PLAYS BEST OF 1 and decide on that game?!!!!! ELEVEN point is anyone's game. PLUS MY other reasons that i stated before this on top, this must be the most unfair system in the universe on how they are picking the representatives from the school. And yea, only 2 can represent. So weee. Great, Confidence level = ZERO.

So yeap, i dont care if you are now saying i'm giving an excuse whatsoever, but i lost the first game due to lack of warmup and time. 11 points. How terrible. I still managed a deuce anyway against that guy.. if that's something. The most painful thing is that i know he's sooooo very very beatable. It wouldnt hurt that much if i know that he's a better player compared to me. But he's not. He really really is not. Sigh. He didnt even win in the end. Sigh. After that, i played against the 2 guys who won and are representing us. ZZZ, and i actually won them... :( I was playing for the reserve spot and NO.. they weren't giving me any chances. One guy who was representing played with me cause he always mentioned that he wants to play a friendly with me and bla bla bla shows that he can win me and all but sigh........................ i never lost to him.. :( And the other guy? I was trying for reserves and i made it after i won him too. SIGH. BIG BIG SIGHS.

I guess i was robbed away from it thx to the system. Sigh. I went home after that and i thought about it and i think the best thing to do is that i will be taking part in the Doubles event and becoming a reserve in the Singles event. The only bright thing i got from that Friday is that the next week is gonna be a holiday and i guess that made the day very average, slightly more to the bad side. :(

And after 3 days not being able to get connected to the net. I finally managed to this morning. Somehow, i think the system is up finally. Yay. Cheers. :/ ... The more i think about those 3 days, the worst i feel. Hm. Even the great results on Tueday and Thursday can't really bring my mood up. Feeling slightly better now and OH well, it's part of life i guess.





Just in case i don't blog anytime soon,
Happy Chinese New Year! =)
