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.

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,

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!!!
-alexeO-


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

Change of plans. Simple Plan, here I come!!!



Gosh. I am finally going. Freaking excited. Darn happy. Gosh. Gosh. Gosh. YAY!

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.




Cheers.

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

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!

*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! =)

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.
