A week after Hell Week

2011-03-02T17:25:00.000-08:00

Location: INTI lvl 4 with friends
Song : Travie McCoy ft Bruno Mars - Billionaire

What was hell week? Well, it was the week I had Econs test, Public Speaking presentation, Maths tests all in the span of 3 days. I'm really glad I'm still alive and mentally healthy after that ordeal.

Right now, I'm getting myself ready for test, albeit it's an open-book test. But my gut feeling tells me whatever I bring in will be rendered useless. And I have Malaysian Studies exam tomorrow. Not as bad as last week, but still a challenge itself.

Whatever happens, Imma keep myself in top form and one day, you gonna see me be a freaking billionaire!!
Well, let's be serious here, I probably end up just being a millionaire.

=D

Louis' Farewell

2011-02-12T00:45:00.000-08:00

I went to see off Louis Teoh, fellow INTI college mate with some of his friends. I was in the same dorm in the 1st Combined CF Camp in 2008, and the same group in the 2nd camp in 2009. He was leaving for Melbourne and is on the plane right now as I'm writing to his destination.

Another friend, Adoria is leaving soon. She was there too. I first met her during the preparation for the INTI Debate Competition last year in June. She was actually a distant cousin of my secondary school class-mate Larry!

As I look at him going through the departure gate, I wondered how would I feel when it's my turn. Yes, it's probably another year before that happens. But today was a preview of what will happen to me as well. I'll be lying if I said I'll be cool as Horatio Caine in the airport when's it's my turn, it'll probably be mixed feelings, but that's an understatement.

"What will happen to me when I set foot in US?", "Will Uni be as awesome as INTI?", "How am I gonna survive there without my parents??!!" Those run through my mind during the airport as we chit-chat in McDonalds.

Until then, I guess I'll do my best in INTI and get good results so that I can actually think of those questions instead of "Now what am I gonna do if no Universities accepts me?!".

Public Speaking Blues

2011-02-09T21:49:00.000-08:00

Today, I had to do my presentation for public speaking class. Needless to say, it wasn't my best day in the office.

I chose "History: Why We Should Appreciate It". I felt very nervous beforehand, but that usually happens to me. My problem is, that nervous persisted throughout the whole presentation. I guess I myself wasn't that convinced by my own topic. I really did have a hard time finding a topic that I am passionate about.

In the end, I was quite monotonous, and basically didn't hit top form. Next week I have to do again, and this time, all of us are given marks. You know what...I think I'll ditch the power-point slides, and go back to the basics : My mouth and my knowledge.

Manchester United : What's Happening?

2010-10-17T23:34:00.000-07:00

For many decades, Manchester United has always have the last say in all atrocities, be it the Munich Air Disaster, doubts over the "Fergie's Fledglings", or high-profile departures such as David Beckham or Cristiano Ronaldo.

If only the term "Glazer's Family" could be put on the first paragraph. A couple of years ago, it wouldn't be such a concern. But as the roar for a takeover goes louder and louder, the very club I support may very well be suffocated under the savage beast: Money.

It didn't help that Liverpool's (ex-)owners were kicked out emphatically because of the large amount of debts that burdened the once great club. Would the new owners, also from the US, help galvanize the club once again? We can't be sure.

But what is the problem that is Manchester United 10/11? It could not be the Glazer's entirely. Just think back a few years ago, when opposition wasn't mellow at all, we won 3 EPL titles in a row, 2 League Cups, 1 FIFA Club Championship and the holy grail, the Champions League.

Now, they can't even guarantee a win even when Man Utd is 2-0 up. The recent match is a fine example, 2 goals from Hernandez and Nani wasn't even enough to beat WBA. And the manner those 2 goals were conceded were humiliating to say the least. An own goal by Evra, and a blunder by the dinosaur Van Der Saar.

Our strikers are shooting blanks(literally), especially Rooney who is a just a speck of a shadow of the player that was EPL's player of the season a year ago. We don't have any decent midfielders. Scholes getting old, Anderson is a flop, Fletcher has probably reached his very best..and it isn't a good thing at all.

Even worse, Manchester United's greatest asset in winning titles are their defense.,nut their defense is so leaky it makes abandoned hut's roof look like it's made out of solid steel. Vidic and Ferdinand are not what they used to be anymore.

The problem lies in the fact that we lack a holding-midfield player. We used to have in the form of Hargreaves, but where is he? We need someone who's fit and consistent in term of connecting the midfield together, very much like how Xavi does it in Barcelona. If we can get someone like that, and young, the benefits far outweigh those if we buy a prolific striker, fast winder or astrong defender.

For now, I could just hope and pray that Ferguson's gamble with Bebe or the other young but not prolific players pays off. If Manchester United continues to under-perform.... then the proverb "The grass is greener on the other side" may very well be true...and that greener grass could horrifyingly be that on Stadium of Manchester.

Negaraku?

2010-09-29T02:16:00.000-07:00

I received an email, wanna share with you all.. =)

Negara ku .....

Interesting! Really good point here, read on!
A comment posted on Marina M's blog inresponse to an article on the issue.
Some self-appointed defenders of Islam including the chief of "1 Malaysia " have insisted that Catholics should use "Tuhan" instead of "A" to address the Catholic or Christian God. But in the national anthem, "Tuhan" (not "A") bless the country (...Tuhan kurniakan...). How now ?!!!. If Malay-Muslims are that easily confused as portrayed by some politicians, they must be thinking that Malaysia is blessed by the Catholic/Christian God, and the Muslim God "A" is perpetually on leave.
Perhaps, this confusion may cause the government to change the national anthem by replacing "Tuhan" with "A". But then again, non-muslims will not be allowed to sing the national anthem. Then it would be non-muslims turn to be confused. If this issue goes to the courts, even the judges will get kepala pening.
So much for "1 Malaysia "!
Happy Malaysia Day!

"I think I have a suggestion.... assuming the "Tuhan" is changed to "A", for non-Muslims...we can go like this...
"Rahmat Bahagia.... toooooot* Kurniakan...Raja Kita...Selamat Bertaktha".
See? We censored the word. No more wording problem!

1+1=1???

2010-08-30T08:09:00.000-07:00

I know...it sounds ridiculous right? Well...I refer that equation as "ajaran sesat" by my Calculus II lecturer.

One simple example: 1 Group of sheep, add with 1 Group of sheep. What do you get if you add them together? 1 Group of sheep. (although it's a bigger group...but it's still 1 group right?)

He then showed us this equation:

x=y

Nothing wrong right? Now we go to the next step:

x(x)=yx

x^2=xy

We multiply both side with x. This would be sensible right even if you are still PMR level..i think.

Anyway, we go to the next part, we reduce both side with y^2

x^2-y^2= xy-y^2

We still obeyed the algebraic rules, add/subtract/mutltiply/divide/play football/learn how to fly kite on BOTH SIDES.

So...we factorize!

(x-y)(x+y)=y(x-y)

Can we divide both side with a same denominator? Sure! (x-y)!! 8D Then we get...

x+y=y

That would be the end product. Now let's recap the first part (x=y)

Since x=y, then if x=1, hence, y=1. You substitute both unknows...

1+1=1

I know, it sounds unreasonable, and it actually is in some sense. He showed us the flaw with that theory if we use 0 and the application of limits and infinity. But that's the boring part...so let's just savour the screwed-up system that is Calculus II: Improper Integrals.

Sem Break is over...in a few days anyway

2010-07-28T20:11:00.000-07:00

I'm going to start my next semester very soon. Next Monday in fact. This time, it will be the long semester until the end of November. So, I got my results for my previous semester, and my C.G.P.A. was 3.43!! Just 0.07 short of 3.5, at least I get to keep my scholarship streak going. Save some money in this dire times....

Anyway, I'll be going for a "Manikayu(Wood Badge)" camp tomorrow. It's the 2nd stage for my scout leadership course. I'm just praying the whole thing would be over and get the cert to recognize myself as a 2 bead Wood Badger. It's a state cert people!!!

My highs and lows about Fifa World Cup

2010-07-13T01:09:00.000-07:00

Ahhh..at long last, the 2010 FIFA World Cup has ended, with the crowning of a new World Champion--- SPAIN!!! So, I enjoyed the whole 31 days of Football, but definitely, there's the shortcomings too.

HIGHS!!

1) Tsabalalalalalalalala's.... GOAL!!!

South Africa 1-0 Mexico

Simão | MySpace Video

It's the first goal of the tournament! And besides, just look at the strike. Wonderful!

2) Diego Forlan

He scored 5 five in the tournament. Practically brought Uruguay to where they are, with a helping "hand" from Suarez and all five of those goals were magical.It's a pity his last kick of the tournament, a free kick hit the bar. Otherwise, it would have brought the 3rd placing play-off to extra time.

3) La Furia Roja!! Spain the world champions!

Just look at them, they have Iker Casillas as the man between the sticks. Puyol and Sergio Ramos as defenders. A midfield spoiled with Xavi, Xabi Alonso and Iniesta, even Fabregas and David Silva are on the bench! And the strike force...David Villa!!! And Torr... let's forget about that shall we? We also cant forget the beutiful passing and ball control...a total of 3389 passes. Yeah....3389 passes. That's an average of 484 passes per game.

4) Germany's Blitzkrieg.

In just one World Cup, a total 7 matches of them. The German's destroyed their reputation of just plain technical football with the demolition of Australia,Germany and even England. They showed the way to play beautiful, solid passing football with swift counter-attack. It's akin to seeing the former Nazi armada during World War II..... but this time, the whole world applauded it.

5) Landon Donovan's goal against Algeria

Background: the US had a goal from Clint Dempsey disallowed. It's over 90 mins and 45 seconds, a few more before the whistle ends. Had USA drew, they would be eliminated at the group stage.

Result: Landon Donovan's strike sent not only the National team to the top of the group, leaving England to be trashed by Germany(thought they lost to Ghana in the end). It sent the whole US into esctasy.

6) Shakira's Waka-Waka. =D

Low's.....

1) Italy and France

Well, there isn't nice to say about them right? Italy, the defending champions were not even 5% of the might they used to be.Heck, they drew with New Zealand. All the so called Italian legendary defending were crumbled by the Sloaks(3-2) and the Kiwi's. They were probably scared when the Haka dance were performed.

2) England

I had to reserved one special place for this "team" cause they epitomized the terms of "Crash and Burn". A team, with all the abundant talent with the likes of Gerard, Lampard and Rooney can't even score against Algeria. And Algeria wasn't playing that well. It's not a need to elaborate on Robert Green's blunder, Rooney's lack of form(to say the very least) and the whole team in general. Thank God for the whipping by the Germans. They deserved it. My previous blog post on them elaborates more.

3) Luis Suarez's handball.

It's not Luis Suarez was the total villain. It'll be most footballers reaction to ensure their country won't get eliminated so easily. What happened next was out-of-this world. First, Asamoah Gyan missed his penalty kick, and Luis Suarez was celebrating like they won the World Cup. It didn't help that the players held Suarez up in the air as if he was the hero and Suarez's boasting his "Hand of God" and poor PR skills. A wonderful match nonetheless.

5) The-Goal-That-Never-Was

It's a shame that England did not get that goal, even more so for Frank Lampard, who hasn't got a goal in the WC finals to his name(and judging by his age, not anymore). But this opens up the debate about the goal-line technology. I still have a gut feeling the problem will never be resolved at all.....

Fifa World Cup 2010

2010-07-02T09:52:00.001-07:00

England & Japan:How the three lions lost the great war from the start while the blue samurais died valiantly."

This year's World Cup is not short of controversies or excitement. But what is lacking was, in the English and Japan's point of view, the end-result to go with the hype. England, with its frantic media who is asking way too much from such an underachieving side to win the World Cup, while Japan has it's coach who claimed Japan can make it to the finals.

Well, both of them lost in the same round. England got overpowered by the German's blitzkrieg, whilst the army of the rising sun lost out on Penalty shootout because of a misdirected kick to the post.

That's where the similarities end. Let's take a look at England. They virtually had a perfect qualifying campaign and a decent run of friendly result, including a 2-1 win over, well, Japan. In fact, many people believed that the current squad, dubbed the"Golden Generation" under Fabio Capello will finally give England something to cheer and win the World Cup again. The holy grail for national teams.

The Japanese however, did not had such a bright start. Although they did qualify comfortably for the Finals, their recent friendlies results before the World Cup was bad to say the least. Even before the Finals, the national newspapers criticized the Japanese squad to be too dull in their playing styles. And laughed at the prospect of them even surviving the group stage, let alone reach the semi-finals.

But the beautiful thing about football is that what's written on paper, it's usually just a piece of trash. England suffered miserable draws, ranging from the back(think Robert Green's howler), midfield(for God sake's,playing Lampard and Gerard is like asking Alex Ferguson to play twister with Rafael Benitez) and at front( Rooney's goals, or rather the lack of it). Japan on the other hand, scored an upset over Cameroon ( this was my top surprise) and the remarkable win over Denmark. Two spectacular free kicks from Keisuke Honda & Yasuhito Endō sealed the Blue Samurai's ticket to the last 16.

And let's not even talk about England's campaign against the young German warmachine. I watched the highlights, and it was like watching the last part of Saving Private Ryan. Where the US forces(this time England) got killed off one by one by the Germans(yours truly) and the part where England was saved was when the referee blew the final whistle.

You may argue that Lampard's goal would have change the course of the game. There's no denying that Germany was shackled for a while after Matthew Upson's goal, but the problem is the pkayers themselves.It's not like if Lampard's disallowed goal was the end of the world, heck they have 55 minutes to scored THAT goal. And at the very least, don't concede another. The 3 lions(oh wait, cubs) horribly failed in both task.

(England-1, Germany-2, Fifa-a big zero)

Japan faced a resillent Paraguay team. Although it was a dull game, not just because of the scoreline. Japan did play some pretty good passes which Capello would do anything for England to emulate. The thing is, if Japan had gone guns-blazing from the start, they would probably have won. Throughout the World Cup finals, Japan had been playing cautions football, it's a pain to see how they could have gone so close in making chances and finishing good ones if they just take the risk at the appropriate moment. If only Keisuke Honda had a decent striker to work with.

Too bad the coach played safe in this poker game and lost by just a number, or rather a penalty kick from the defender Yuichi Komano, who had worked very hard alongside the other Japanese players.

But what we all know is that Japan will go back to their motherland as national heroes. Fallen, but with "valiant" added to it. England......... it's safe to say that England can never win the World Cup, because they are England. Are they are about to see red over their woeful performances, and I'm not even talking about a battalion of fans wearing the away kit armed with tomatoes.
(Cue: Tomato blast!)

*Oh yeah, Holland defeated Brazil 2-1

Debate

2010-06-08T07:55:00.001-07:00

I wasn't officially in any clubs in INTI recently, so when I heard that there was a debate competition for all the INTI colleges, I signed up immediately.

I was delighted to know that the pioneers for this year's group were Adoria(Wei Lun's cousin) and Nicholas(whom I debated against last year). It's kinda like a reunion... haha...

Apparently, we do not have the motion until...20 minutes before the competitin(WTH!) and our only clue is a theme "Equity,Access and Quality"

(What I got for google image search for that term, Ironically, I still don't have what the right picture said)

I'm kinda glad that the people making up the teams are experienced speakers from various schools in Penang. So it's like an All-Star team!! It also shows I still have alot to catch up and I have better speakers than I who I can improve my own skills.

Hopefully we can do well in the debate competition, and make the college proud!

And so, my college life begins..

2010-05-24T08:22:00.000-07:00

If you all didn't know by now, I have already enrolled in INTI Penang's American Degree Transfer Program(May Intake). The reason for being relatively late in enrollment was because I need time to decide whether I should go College and Form 6. Now many of you will surely pick college cause you don't need to wear school uniform and all those stuff but.... for me, Form 6 is also a strong option for me too.

Anyway, I choose INTI in the end. My intake for my program has only 12 students!! So, I thank God for this small amount as it helps me to mix with my new college mates easier. Not only that, the May Intake begins with a short semester, hence, I only take 2 subjects for this 7-week long program. So, it is definitely easier for me to juggle between my work, study and getting to be more used to my new surroundings.

So, I did meet some new friends like Kent, Nick,Manesh and Chen Yu(who was in Hamid Khan for a brief time). Didn't get to know the girls that well yet cause there's only 3 of them!! XD

The 12 of us are in the same class for English, but the majority of us split up between Maths and Econs. Mine was Maths.

For the Maths class, we combined with the March intake student, so the class students would be aroud 20++. I'm also in the same class with Tabitha, whom I met during the AFS interview. We don't really talk much cause the College Maths is quite a touch subject. And I have to score well in this paper so I can have a easier live in college.

So, I'm proud to say I survived a week in college!!! XD

Irony

2010-05-22T10:15:00.001-07:00

Well, I let Cracked.com do the explaining on my blog, ironically. XD

Only a select few people in the world get irony. The rest think they do. And that's ironic. Possibly.

Most people simply do not get irony.
After reading this topic, most people will still not get irony
But they'll think they will even more than before.
Then they'll go out into the internet and disseminate even more false information about irony.
We don't even know why we're doing this; we just get a kick out of it.

Irony is the clash of opposites. It is the juxtaposition of what is expected against what happens; what you know and what you think you know.

It is not the same as coincidence. If a ginger person finds that the only drinks left at a party are cans of ginger beer and ginger ale, this is not ironic. If anything, this is the opposite of irony. If there is a convention of ginger hair haters and the only drink available is ginger beer or ginger ale, this may be considered ironic, but it's a long shot.

Nor is it bad luck. If a president is killed by someone accidently discharging their weapon, this is bad luck. If they are killed by someone discharging their weapon in celebration of that president being elected, that is ironic.

If something is appropriate, it is not ironic. If you see a grossly obese person tucking into a kebab, this is not ironic. It is exactly what you expect them to be doing. If you see a fat person deciding to give their heart a break for once and instead of going to KFC, they cross the road to get to the salad bar and are then run down by a truck transporting diet pills which, this is ironic.

If in doubt, just don't use it. It's better to stay quiet, because you're bound to get it wrong. And then your effort to look intelligent will only end up making you look like a bona fide simpleton. Aah, the irony.

Here, irony is perfectly summed up in the simple phrase "I'm not."

The following are cases of the internet lying to you. None of these examples demonstrate irony, only that somebody is capable of being an idiot long enough to caption a poster.

Blogs

2010-05-14T10:29:00.000-07:00

Is there any of my friend's blog which is still alive??!!

3 weird dreams,in one night.

2010-05-07T20:43:00.000-07:00

Honestly, I didn't know how I end up in the first dream, let alone 3 of them. It's usual for us to dream about starting without realizing the starting point, or that we're dreaming in the first place.
Anyway, I'll start off from where I'd remembered. Dreams are in bold, my comments between each dreams are in italic.

-----------------------------------------Dream 1---------------------------------------------

So I was walking through some big house, but it kinda looks like my grandma's house in Ipoh..somewhat. In my mind, I was quite angry and wanted to find this girl. It was time I tell her a piece of my mind, face to face. So, I went through this complex, and I finally met her. But with a window blocking me.

I then knock the window just to get her attention. She was talking with some of her friends. When she saw me, I told her to come in cause "we need to talk". But she told me to come out, in a somewhat happy mood.

At that moment, I was really pissed off. And then I shouted at her(but the curious thing is, I didn't hear my voice,though it "looked" like I was shouting hard) telling her that I have been chasing her for so long, it's time she comes to me.

Then she had a teary face, and she walked with her friends out from the scene. I then came out, and find her. But I couldn't find her anymore. So I quickly searched through the place and the yard. After that, I heard sound of a procession, I thought it was a wedding. I found the bride..i thought it could be her...but it wasn't. Then procession left....and I'm left stading, baffled by what happened.

Moments after, the scene changed. It was something that looked like my church...i think. So I walked around, then I saw in one of the rooms, some youth activities inside. I glanced through, didn't see her.... then I walked through a door, the scene changes again. There, in a cafe, was my mum. She then told me "Why worry? Isn't she coming to visit the church this Sunday?

I was puzzled, but I walked out. As I searching, I tried calling her through the phone, but to no avail. Then a call came to me, I thought it was her! But it was my friend, telling me to bring a game because he and his friend wants to play. I just said yes then continue searching, I end up in a familiar street in the middle of the night. Then I woke up.

____________________________________________________________________

When I woke up, I realized that it was just a dream...or a nightmare? I don't know. But either way, it still sucks that we can be together for anytime soon. I looked at the clock, it was 7.15 am. I was supposed to be going to tennis at 8..but...what the hell..i still wanna sleep. So...I sleep!

)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))Dream 2((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

This was quite a short dream, but equally baffling to. My parents and I were watching a play in my church.Forgot what the play was all about, but all I remembered was that after the play, my dad and one of the actors were arguing about something. Apparently about that actors inability to protray an accountant. lol.... it got heated and we all just get my dad away into the car and drove home.

In a car, I told my dad that "if we want to mock someone, mock them until they can't defend themselves, just so to save our faces." Then he wanted to reply back but my mum stopped us. So...it was raining...then there was a motorcyclist who fel from his bike, and rolled over to the other side. We somehow moved over the motorcycle without damaging it...then the dream ended.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

It was 9 a.m.,but the clear skies couldn't help me comprehend what in the world just happened in the first..and second dream. I'm still going blur about those dreams, but this time, I took a gamble and sleep again, just to see what's in store for me.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Dream 3(finally!!)++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This would be the most baffling of them all. I remembered walking through this elavated walkway, covered in wood planks. With windows along the side.Very much like those you see in western rainforest canopy walkway. As I look out, I saw some kind of church with resort facilities. The whole surrounding matches those with cool-climate places like Cameron Highlands or Fraser Hills.

Then.... I ended up in front of this chapel. I saw my friends near there, then one of them just jokingly told me that I'm still in my pyjamas.

The worst part was...I was in my pyjamas...WHAT???? How the heck my clothes changed to pyjamas?? I dashed back, went into my parents room to change and then went into my room.

What I saw, was like an altar room...with Muslim and Buddhist altars in it. It was really dark and reddish..very scary. I quickly put out the candles in both altar, and the room became light again. Then there was this house keeper(i think) who came in, and told him to put a plant in a lotus-esque pond. Apparently, this symbolizes that I have shunned away from all this religion and are not scared of them. This is also shows I'm a Christian. At that time, it was like something we Christians do.

Then he showed me what "evil" those people do. When I looked out, I saw some ppl in speed boats speeding through the water, and when they stopped at their own places, they just take the water and splash around.

When I turned back, my whole room became like a cafeteria, with many people in it chatting away. I felt that I wanted to pee and went into this room which was supposedly the washroom.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Lucikly, I didn't pee on the bed after that dream. But...when I looked back at that dream..i wondered...why in the world I put a plant in that pond? It sounded and look bizarre to say the least.It was already 11.15am, I think I had enough weird dreams for the day.

Anyone mind helping me in interpreting the dreams? I'm at a lost here.....

4th May...my birthday!

2010-05-04T21:32:00.000-07:00

Yes peeps, yesterday was my milestone 18th birthday!!! Really had a great time.

Anyway, few days before this, there were already people wishing my happy birthday. My facebook wall gradually become more interesting during the day when alot of my friends wished me on the Facebook wall! At one point, I got 66 notifications after I offline for just 5 hours!

For me, I took my time to say a thank you to all of them, cause I too wish that when I wish someone happy birthday, I get a reply back. It's basically how I show my appreciation to my friends who wished me. =)

Yeah, it was definitely tiring...I probably got about 100+ wished(including verbally and in my phone). So imagine my face when I saw those scribbles on my Facebook wall. Was shocked and happy at the same time because, despite having to reply 2 each and one of them, I thank God for this because it shows I have many friends.

So, I start off my with working, but for today, just a five hour shift. And then I went to get my cake which still hasn't been eaten yet. XD I will upload the photo later on...

Then, I visited my friend's college cell. Finally, I manage to make it for the CG, and I also want to go because she is leaving for Matrics on May 10...so...I try to take any opportunity to meet her again.I also brought LF also, guessing this would a great chance for him to hear more about God.

But the amazing thing was, not only God let me bring one person only, LF also brought AH and Ryu along! Amazing how God works when we have faith for such little stuffs; God will give you more than you can imagine,

okay.... it's alright...

I mean, it's a good chance to make up and reconcile right?

DAMN YOU...she really changed alot. And not for the better.If last time was because of Shyness, I can guarantee now is because of lansi or arrogance.

And worse part is, is only to me.

Haiz....this is definitely not a nice part on my day, but I still did have fun over there! Especially the discussion.

After that, I went to Seo's house to meet up with my friends from Brotherhood for a while. We played games and I tried my hand on Winning Eleven 2010. I beat Biboo Rabbit 4-1 XD

I was Barcelona, leading 2-0 on the start of 2nd half. =D

Yeah, so that's my gist of 4th May 2010. Sure there was that not-so joyful part. But it's part and parcel of live. I just go on and enjoy life, whacking some hard tackles along the way. Verbally and physically. =)

I think that'll be my life motto!

Dancing when the stars go blue....

2010-04-28T20:00:00.000-07:00

I dance today... and look around to see those who are dancing with me.

But when someone does not join me on the dance floor of life,

I realise there is nothing wrong with me. It just means they either do

not feel like dancing or they prefer a different step.

SO you are dancing....you are dancing...you are dancing as free as a bird... joyfully and harmoniously and with such loving energy...

And yet you wonder why someone will not dance with you.

Your focus is so much on the person who will not dance with you,

that you are not aware just how many people are dancing so close to you...joining

you on the dance floor.

But when someone does not dance with you, it does not mean your dance is lousy.

It does not mean you cannot dance!! Oh no!

It does not mean you are doing the wrong dance or you are out of tune or out of step.

It just means that someone else either doesn't feel like dancing right now... or they

would prefer a different dance... a different floor.

Our dance is our life... our being.

And when someone walks out on us, leaves our life in some way, decides

not to sign up for the next dance class or doesn't wish to be our dance partner, it

does not mean there is anything wrong with us.

We might think there is a lot wrong with us

We might think we are ugly

We might think we stepped on someone's toes.

We might think we have gone on a bit too long.

We might think we have overstepped the mark... hugged too hard? Held someone too

long?

But all of us have to get it in our heads that there is nothing wrong with us.

We have to quit taking things personally. Just have to if we are to live our life in the

way we would like to live our life. Quit taking things personally.

Because when people decide not to be our dance partners, to refuse our invitation to

join us in whatever way we would like them to join us, it is about them and not about

us.

How can it ever be about us?

We cannot convert people into liking us... we cannot convert people into wanting to

be with us every moment of the dayor night or even some of the day or night... we

cannot convert people into falling in love with us.

We just cannot.

We might miss them like crazy... but we still do not have the power to convert them

into being our buddies, lovers or companions.

If they do join us, it is because they have made that choice to do so.

If we fill our hearts with love and express that love we will become very attractive...

very attractive indeed.

But not always to the person whom we expect will respond to our attractiveness.

Because the truth is that some people won't appreciate our light.

Some people just won't appreciate our loving, as strange as that might seem to us.

Some people just won't respond to our warm smiles or melt into our arms with a hug.

Some people will walk away from us.. keep their distance... leave our space.

And because they decide that they are uncomfortable with us, or they would rather be

in another space, does not take anything away from us, does not make us wrong,

does not make us lacking or inadequate or plain bad.

It just means there is something happening with them because they cannot feel

comfortable with what is right about us.

They might be vibrating at a different energy level. They might find our loving

smothering, disabilitating as they play their role of victim or wish to separate

themselves from the world.

They might just need a different lesson to learn and we cannot be their teacher in this

time and space.

But as Mother Teresa says: Love them anyway.

If they are meant to be our students or our teachers some time soon, they will show

up again... they always do.

If they are not meant to show up in our life then they will journey to pastures new...

but at a soul level the connection goes on. People leave this planet but the soul

connection always remains. We are all one.

So look around and be grateful for your dance partners.. those who are dancing with

you right now.

And realise that all those who have ever danced with you have shown you something

about yourself.. and no one ever leaves you.

And if you give love to someone... pure unconditional love.. they stay in your heart

forever and you stay in the hearts of those who give the same to you.

Just carry on dancing.

You will never be alone

The dance of the heart is the richest one... where the love flows in each and every

moment.

Let's dance... and dance... and dance... and dance...and let's see our

connection…..

I love the anology behind this email I received. We all can relate ourselves to this dance session....probably at varying degrees, but, the dance floor is ours to treasure. =)

Work and Play: Between Responsibilities and Leisure

2010-04-19T01:49:00.001-07:00

Last saturday, I had a scholarship exam to study in Wolverhampton Royal school. It was held in KL. I choosed the "Humanities" paper and in simple terms, it was quite a joyride, haha. It wasn't that boring, but wasn't really that hard till it's beyond comprehending the paper. Then on Sunday, I have an outing to play futsal. (This is be important later on)

In the paper, we have English (Grammer), Maths and 3 writing tasks. The last one was about people who work very hard but gave no time for leisure; and those who only know how to play and be merry. I was required to give my opinions about both these stereotypes and my own opinion regarding work and responsibilities.

So, in my point of view( and many of you, I hope) is that, well, there is time for us to play and have fun, but we do have to work very hard because not only our responsibilities comes first, but also that we can have a good life and not worry when play or enjoying ourselves.

But, in a cruel twist of fate, after the exam, I received a message about a scout leadership course on Sunday, which if you noticed earlier, I had a futsal game. And the course is a full-day course. It wouldn't be that bad if it wasn't for the fact I gave my views on work and play.

It took me quite some time to decide, but I decided that I would go for the course. Some of the reasons were:

1) I get to be a "penolong pemimpin"(assistant scout master) for my scout troop and get 2 "manikayu". It would be a equivalent of an administrative post which is state recognized and a medal in miltary terms respectively.

(It may not look like much, but I'll take it over Paris Hilton)

2) The another reason is that well, futsal can wait for another day. It's not like the end of the whole if I skip one right? And also the scout course comes only once a year

3) I'll need to spend more money for the futsal and drinks then listening to the "big fish" people giving theory courses as if they are talking to themselves.

At the end of the day, we have to take compromises whenever we make a decision. The deciding factor however, which choice would have a lesser negative impact on our lives.

If you did dropped by,

2010-04-04T07:37:00.000-07:00

What's with me?

Up until today, I still have a part of me who can't let you go.

Right now, I just can't imagine me being with another girl whatsoever.

The scar you inflicted on me, whether intentional or not, it's still there.

I can bet the whole world you don't know how I was hurt that time.

I can hid the pain, seal it off with all the fun and joy I had all this while, but nevertheless,

The scar is still there.

I just talked to you just now, but you still don't seem to care.

It's like I'm talking to another person, a very different one from the one I used to know.

It's either an "oh", "lidat lor", "hmmm" or better still, nothing.

I can still talk to you, and trying slowly to stop talking to you so you won't notice,

But it's hard for me to ignore you,cause I can't imagine what would happen if you suddenly realized,

I'm ignoring you like how you did it to me.

Now though, you are in College and all the perks that go with it.

I'm sure you won't bother about me not talking to you.

Of course! All the boys in your college, I'm sure they are better smooth-talkers to me,

and it seems it is working, judging by your Facebook wall.

Those words you chatted, it was my line, my conversation.

But then again, you never give a damn.

Incident in UK supermarket‏

2010-03-31T19:46:00.001-07:00

I got this from an email. I find the analogy very interesting and yet, thought-provoking.

I am passing this on for your information
An incident occurred in a UK supermarket recently, when the following discussion was witnessed:

A Muslim woman dressed in a Burkha (A black gown & face mask) was standing with her shopping in a queue at the checkout.
When it was her turn to be served, and as she reached the cashier, she made a loud remark about the English Flag lapel pin, which the female attending the checkout was wearing on her blouse.

The cashier reached up and touched the pin and said, 'Yes, I always wear it proudly. My son serves abroad with the army and I wear it for him'.

The Muslim woman then asked the cashier when the UK was going to stop bombing and killing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi.

At that point, a Gentleman standing in the queue stepped forward, and interrupted with a calm and gentle voice, and said to the Iraqi woman:

'Excuse me lady, but hundreds of thousands of men and women, just like this lady's son have fought and sacrificed their lives so that people just like YOU can stand here, in England, which is MY country and allow you to blatantly accuse an innocent check-out person of bombing YOUR countrymen'.

'It is my belief that if you were allowed to be as outspoken as this when in Iraq, which you claim to be YOUR country, then we wouldn't need to be fighting there today '.

'However - now that you have learned how to speak out and criticize us English people who have given you the protection of our country,
I will gladly pay the cost of a ticket to get you back to Iraq.'
'When you get there, and if you manage to survive for being as outspoken as what you are here in England, then you should be able to help straighten out the mess which your countrymen have got you into in the first place, which appears to be the reason that you have come to MY country to escape from.'

All listening cheered and applauded.

In a way, it is true. The intention of the so-called "War on terror" is good, and there are many reasons why the US and the UK government would send in troops to invade Iraq. The only problem I think most people would have is how the war is managed. Whether or not the benefits of the war would be worth all the pain the soldiers have to endure and the taxpayers' pockets have to endure, I'm not so sure.

MYF Youth Retreat. is.......just read the post.

2010-03-22T07:16:00.000-07:00

I was in the bus near Bukit Merah and I thought to myself: "What in God's name am I participating in some "youth retreat" camp costing as much as Tiger Wood's dignity organized by some church I rarely go to? What's worse, I barely know anyone there??!!"

Oh yeah, I and my BK classmates promised Joanne we will join the camp last year so....yeah, I DID forget why I went there in the first place. More so, I and Jo Lene were the only ones who followed Joanne there. Jonathan was working in Breeks, and Nathaniel is in Subang, or is it Petaling Jaya? Either way, all places in Selangor look and smell the same. =.=

Anyway, I was acquainted with Denise so it wasn't really that bad, and also Anne, who was a friend of Sook Koon. In the bus, I only talked with Jo Lene because I wasn't really acquainted with the others.

But after 4 days in Cheefoo ( The venue), things changed. Alot. There weren't many people who joined this retreat(think 19++) and it was very easy for us to communicate. They started talking to me, I started talking to them, somehow the barriers were broken.

Dr. Sam's sharing of the word was also something to look upon. He really brings a new dimension when it comes to sharing, he taught us songs before he starts preaching without fail, from the very hilarious (Ping Pong song XD) to the melodious (Dona Nobis Pacem) and many more.It does make you wonder, how shallow are the lyrcis in today's Christian Music compared to those found in Hymns, many which we the younger ones will never learn to embrace.

Aunt Valarie and Uncle Geam Liang was also very fun to talk with and share things with. They really know how to relate with Teenagers, and come out with some witty one-liners as well. I really can't imagine the Trinity Youth without them...haha...

I also like the whole program, which ironically doesn't really have much in it.XD Why? Well, this is the camp where we are not burdened with intense programs and scheduling,there's no need to start exactly by time or end by a certain time(though we usually abide by the rules when it comes to sleeping) and most of all, we have freetime!! Lot's of them. And to me, this epitomizes what a retreat is all about, we have the luxury to TRY* to learn how to maneuver a Rip-stick, play basketball, try out the cool playground(not the McD ones, thankfully) We even get to do Star-Gazing for one night and two comets pass us by!!

I can even play Football!! And better still, not by myself! Apparently there is also FGS Subang Jaya who were also sharing the place and well, someof the MYF-ers were quite intimidated by the sheer number of ppl (Me and Jo Lene, we're used to it =.=||) but once we get 2 know them, they are a bunch of friendly people. I even get to score a goal....since October. XDDDD

Of course, I didn't just sign up for this camp just for the fun of it(I did have lots of it), or to see pretty girls(Not alot, but still 'ada' XD) but more so to learn about God, without distractions from computers or people I know. Throughout the course, we are told that we are never to young to be a disciple, I couldn't agree more, cause even if you don't want to be want, God will put you in situations where you can't help but share a little bit of the Gospel or Christianity(It does happen, trust me.) There's is no way you can outsmart God.

But, God has a tender side to him too. One of my most significant event during the whole camp was when I prayed my whole heart out to God about every,everything. But as I was praying, suddenly I just can't speak, I have no idea what happened. I tried to utter a word, but I just can't move my lips, that's when God told me to not worry so much. I can feel that he was trying to calm me down and just showed me that he is my shepherd and that he cares for me. I was really comforted from that moment.

I have no regreats joining this camp, it's the camp where eveybody talks with everyone, and it's a rare sight for many camps I been too..... new friendships are forged, and somehow, I believe they will last than some I foolishly keep.

Right now, the guys are now spamming a photo on facebook. Right now there's about 117 comments, still a long way to beat my primary school photo(443+), ironically, I chose the Youth Retreat than the hotel-stay with my primary school. THANK GOD!!

Edu fair > Fasting > SPM results

2010-03-12T04:43:00.000-08:00

I went for the education fair in PISA last saturday and sunday. The main reason I gone there is partly because my parents insist on going, and I'm also quite curious about what may colleges have to offer.

So, to make the story short, it opened my mind. After that, I told my mum that I wanted to fast and pray for 3 days starting from Tuesday and to Thursday.This was the first time I did such a thing and so I only had a solid-food fast. I get to have water, and only water.

Well, it was an enriching experience for me. Some religion made it tradition to fast for a certain number of days on a certain month.(Think Hari Raya for example). But I believe many people do not know the significance of fasting(Malay Term= Berpuasa). Basically we keep the body symbolically empty and cleanse our body so that we can worship God without any foreign substances. For me, it also shows how one can go great lengths to pray and ask for anything to God.

Ironically, not eating to fill my stomach made me feel at peace with God. It felt that God is the only thing that matters to me during that 3 days, although I do go out and live a life, I felt no distraction or feel gloomy. It was wonderful.

And then the SPM results came, I got 7A's(A+,A,A-) and well, I reallly hoped for 8A's at least but, I have to thank God for my results, and although on that day I was REALLY dissapointed cause many of my friends got really good results(think 9-15A's), I now really feel okay about it. Gid also reminded me that many of my friends too did quite disappointing in their own view so that's why God reminded me that "Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years, to humble you and to test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands." (Deut 8:2)

Of course my family never went through the 40 years of exile, but I believe it applies to everyone who has suffered difficulties of varying degrees and that God has kept his promised to protect us. Now is up to us to remember what he has done for us. And right now, I have to keep his commands to thank the Lord for whatever he has given to me, even the 7A's I get. The Lord has tested me, and I have to admit it was difficult on the 1st day...but today....I'm glad for the 7A's.

Thank You Jesus. =)

Edelweiss..the Mark of a True Soldier

2010-02-23T06:52:00.000-08:00

The Edelweiss, also known as the "Leontopodium Alpinium" for you geeks out there, is a flower found commonly in European countries such as Germany, Switzerland and Spain. The word "Edelweiss" derives from the German word Edel(noble) and Weiss(white).

Well, why would a guy like me talk about flowers? Actually, I never really know much about the flower besides the song derived from it's namesake. I never actually seen one before until one scene in the WWII series "Band of Brothers".

As you would know later on in the clip, German soldiers during WWII would make a climb to trees to get an Edelweiss flower. It supposed to be "the mark of a true soldier".

(Don't ask, I don't know, I don't wanna know)

What really attracted me to this particular flower, is the name. Literally it means "Noble white".
Now white is a symbol of purity, adding the word "noble" makes it even better. In fact, Austria, on St. Valentine’s Day, it is traditional for a man to present a woman with a bunch of edelweiss, the implication being that he has risked his life climbing up to where the flowers grow. Not only that, GM versions of the flower is grown commercially at lower altitudes, but I have a feeling that it is primarily for those who are to afraid to climb trees.

(Cleary he does not have any problem with that)

Ah yes, the song.....Edelweiss...Edelweiss... it is a scout song by the way. And my troop has a way of singing the songs with hand clapping. It's very interesting, but our version may lack the soft and melodious flow of the original from "Sound of Music"

I particulary like the last line,"Bless my Homeland forever". It's the line I always sing out loud. And not only that, it'll be cool to give a girl a bunch of Edelweiss on Valentines Day, something different from roses don't you think? Haha....

The time of my life? My foot...

2010-02-08T08:08:00.000-08:00

So, apparently after I posted all 75 letters to the schools to invite them for our March 20th Rover Owl (C) Campfire, the majority of my workload is SUPPOSEDLY gone. But now, more sh!t was shoved to my face.

1) The leader said I need to send 200 letters. (As if 75 wasn't enough)
2) All letters aren't received by ANY schools.
3) Many people said I posted the wrong stamp(75c). Hello! More experienced post office workers told me and my mum 50c is good enough for the entire Malaysian penisular.
4) The JPN did not fax back the letter yet, I'm forced to call my way to the Penang and Kedah JPN,
5) Now I'm handed the task to call SMK Air Itam to call whether we have permission to use the compound cause miraculously* he's cellphone have "network" problem.

I am so convinced the schools received the letters, cause none were sent back to me if it was undelievred to the respective schools. But no....they don't give a damn, they said all 200 letters have to be send by this week.

What the bloody hell, even if I send all 200 letters by this week, and none of the school did not receive it, what? Resend again? BULLSH!T!!!! And if the campfire did not go as planned, now am I going to claim all the money I spend on photostating and stamps. THOSE ARE NOT CHEAP!!!!

Well, just as Forest Gump said, Sh!t Happens.

HHH: Hymns....Hillsong....Hell?

2010-02-04T06:37:00.000-08:00

If anyone of you who recently went for the REVO concert, or any Christian concerts here in Malaysia, there's bound to be the loud and rock music you'll hear during worship. It could range from the ever-famous Break Free(Hillsong), our "Buatan Malaysia" Bigger(Revo) or the absurdly outrageous "Jump Around"(Planetshakers).

(At least they are better than Nickelback)

And I'm only listing the bands that are well known around the world, or Malaysia for that matter if you take Revolution into the equation. There's still many more, but the only one I could think of is Skillet. This is one of their songs "Whispers in the Dark"

I can safely bet that the whole congregation will die as a result of shock. Really.

They are not the only ones getting scrutinized for composing "satan-inspired" songs. Even Hillsong and more commonly, PlanetShakers. Majority of PCC don't really like Planetshakers. For those "old-folks", they said Hymns are the songs that Christians should listen and worship God with.

If I were given 2 cents for my thoughts, I actually think we as Christians have a freedom to choose how we worship God, as long as they bring us closer to God,instead of the band. My dad used to be against all those rockish Christian music, but recently, he believes that if we were to pull the young generations to Christ, Hillsong and Planetshakers would be instrumental(pun intened) for reaching out to them.

I'm not saying hymns are obsolete in this era, I actually enjoy singing hymns compared to Hillsong and Planetshakers. Heck they even sing hymns time to time(Amazing Grace,Come Holy Spirit and Nothing but the Blood)

My concern is that if the young generation are driven to receive Christ because of lyrics and wonderful music, it won't last. It's like making a fire. We start with the more flammable stuff like papers and leaves,then we put the thick branches to keep the fire going. If we keep on putting the papers and leaves(nice songs), the fire WILL NEVER LAST.

Once they are touched by the Holy Spirit, they need constant nuturing. A careful and in-depth study of the Word of God will help strengthen new believers, even old ones. Although the Bible won't answer all our answers(who will be my life partner?), but it has enough info to tell us who God is, and how are we to lead our lives.

And that is something "Break Free" or "Healer" can never ever do. Am I right Guglielmucci?

Sam Sparro - Black and Gold

2010-02-02T04:54:00.000-08:00

I first heard about this song from Kabian, who said it was from FIFA09. I gave it a try, it sounds really nice. I actually liked the song the first time I heard it, a rare case from me who needs some convicing before digging a song.

If Katy Perry did a cover on it, why shouldn't it be a boring song? X)

If the fish swam out of the ocean
and grew legs and they started walking
and the apes climbed down from the trees
and grew tall and they started talking

and the stars fell out of the sky
and my tears rolled into the ocean
now i'm looking for a reason why
you even set my world into motion

'cause if you're not really here
then the stars don't even matter
now i'm filled to the top with fear
but it's all just a bunch of matter
'cause if you're not really here
then i don't want to be either
i wanna be next to you
black and gold
black and gold
black and gold

i looked up into the night sky
and see a thousand eyes staring back
and all around these golden beacons
i see nothing but black

i feel a way of something beyond them
i don't see what i can feel
if vision is the only validation
then most of my life isn't real

'cause if you're not really here
then the stars don't even matter
now i'm filled to the top with fear
but it's all just a bunch of matter
'cause if you're not really here
then i don't want to be either
i wanna be next to you
black and gold
black and gold
black and gold

Too bad Island Records don't let anyone embed the music video. So here it is:

It's really unique, give your ears some alternatives instead if a certain "Wanita Gila" or the band who came close landing on Mars. Until then, good bye!

Kum Ba Yah....Kum Ba Yah....

2010-01-25T20:26:00.000-08:00

First things first, here's some of my status currently :

1) SPM leaver, now looking for some decent work to kill off time. Using the computer can be boring time to time...

2) Learning how to drive, will be undergoing practical course this Thursday.

3) Rover Scout troop is having a campfire!!! And we were "inspired" by that birdie above, even our troop logo(which is way cooler), although to be fair, the owl above isn't that bad after all...

Unless...

So, I was elected the secretary for the campfire and the majority of the my workload is pre-campfire. I need to complete letters and other paperworks, including the invitation letter for schools to participate and so on.... so for now, looks like I can cross out (1) for the moment.

So, until then....good bye!

The tradition lives on...

2010-01-17T07:27:00.000-08:00

My mum asked me to remove the post regarding the church. So I deleted it, it's essential to one's life to please those nearer to us cause they can bring significant ( benefits/harm) compared to those above us in social ranking.

So anyway, I came back from a scout camp that was to train new and upcoming committee members. They sure learned alot, but hoping that they still remember and apply it would be asking a dog to sing "Bad Romance".

But my main concern is how will they cope in the school, they know what awaits them in SMK Hamid Khan- the pressure of studies, from the scout masters and worse still, the teacher advisors.

Many of the former committee members in 39 G.T. (S) which is our scout troop has cross swords with the administrators and advisors who reluctantly hold on their post. And many of it were quite bloody, and there is no signs of it stopping just because new blood has rise up.

I for one am thankful I have leaved the hellhole, but me and my year's committee have to help those going through the hellhole.

The advisors for one don't want to take any responsibility for they claimed their academic responsibilities are quite a handful. Well, teaching in SMK Hamid Khan is sure tough with all the students you face and judging by the recent PMR and end-year exam results, the teachers have simply put more pressure on themselves and inevitably the students.

And with the new aim of emphasis on academic, rather than co-curricular activities, very active members and committee members of any uniform body(that actually are active) have to endure denials and bullsh!t from those who were supposed to help them in it, not into it.

There are some who said they have to take care their family(when all we ask is a few days off from 365 days of cooking, feeding and making love), don't want to take responsibility from the normal response(how am I supposed to explain about the accident?) to those plain bullsh!t. (I want to take care of my "air muka")

Either way, I'm out from Hamid Khan. Yay!

2010-01-05T19:24:00.000-08:00

Well, no school for me for these few months! Now I can sleep in late(relatively) and wake up late. But then again, I don't have much opportunities to meet my friends or make new ones. This is the time of the year where building old relationships comes in....

So here I am, scribbling new words for this blog post, while waiting for my mum to pick me up to run some errands. Come on, I'm not gonna sit in front of my desktop every hour,minute or every second! But this is what she thinks I'm gonna do, so she plans to drag me to the other end of the world to do stuff which I have no part to play. So much for Dawn of War,FIFA07 and youtub-ing BEG, Big Bang dan SNSD....

(Haiz....)

Anyway, I am reading Calvin and Hobbes all over again! Still midway from reading all my collections, but it pays to read my childhood memories once again...and it isn't Calvin's, but wait I AM reading his but..... forget it. Bye!

God's Blessing

2009-12-13T05:18:00.000-08:00

I was saving my money to buy new futsal shoes. I need one cause my football boots are spoiled so badly, and my tennis shoes are so bulky for futsal. Plus, I need a lighter shoes for floorball.So, I was saving my money...week by week, put it in my piggy bank(not really, it's just a box) and there I have it. Enough for me to spend.

But there was one Sunday in youth, when pastor Victor came to share. He shares about how we would give our all for God, and believe in Him. Pastor Victor also shared his experience when God asked him to stop taking allowances from the church and just trust in him, even though many bills are still left unpaid.

Guess what, a friend of his invited him for lunch and give him all the money Pastor Victor needs for his daily needs. The friends used his money that he saved for modelling courses and gave it all for the pastor,without any favours.

The story and his sharing really convicted me. I took up the altar call and he prayed for me.He told me that if God also wants us to have good things, but if he calls upon us to give our all, he will bless us even more.

I was somehow, at peace. Even though I may not have my boots, but, somehow I felt it doesn't really matter if God needs it.

But in the end, I did get my boots. Did God actually called me before I bought, but I did not listen? I was puzzled.

Turns out, this was indeed his blessing. When I told my mum that I want to buy a set of sports jersey with my own money. She paid the jersey for me, saying it is a Christmas gift.

I was shocked. Even though I could pay for it(and it was quite cheap really, around RM30+ for that standard), I was quite happy. Not only that, I even have new tennis shoes from my dad today! It was RM429 (phew!) but there's a 40% discount so it was around RM200.

All he ask was "Is it tight?" "Need a bigger size? That's all, no questions about "why I need it?" even though I can present my case as my old tennis shoes were 3 years old, and my brother has one already.

Well, for me, it was really a joyful week. And a lesson I learn is, if we are willing to give out our all when God calls us to, he will bless us one way or another. Sometimes by means we never expect.

AMEN! =)

CCC: Chin Peng>>> Communisn>>>Christ??

What am I thinking. How am I supposed to connect the dots altogether. Linking Chin Peng to Communism is alot more easier than failing your SPM. (Actually, with a blank paper, it's tempting to answer the paper, but hey, let's assume I'm stupid for that moment)

But from Communism to Chirst?? Here, on the former, it's known to be an radical ideology which believes there is no God. And on the latter, he's the "Way, the Truth and the Life"

Actually, it's possible. Let me start with Chin Peng. If many of you had actually look through the new(and boring) version History Textbook, he is one of the main leaders who help form Malayan Communist Party. He is also viewed as one of the guys who call the shots in killing people, destroy property and taking M&M's from babies.

(Communist's favourite pastime)

So anyway, as the apparently interesting and important (not if you decide to do at least something meaningful) story goes along, CMP got kicked in the butt as many times as Manchester United winning EPL and the rest is history. Literally. Chin Peng and his "brothers in arm" in the party were sidelined from development (which is still going on until today,albeit at an slower pace), they were forced to disband and consequently, Malaysia became.....Malaysia?

(Yeah...very Malaysian-like)

Anyway, communism 0, Democracy 1. So why does many people during that time embrace the Alliance's concept of democracy? It could very well be the fact that communism didn't take the right step in promoting communism properly. As you all knows, CMP was linked with several striker from workers, train crash, assaults on plantation by innocent farmers and many more cruel acts. They broke the first rule when it comes to promoting an ideology: Never, ever disrupt the lives of people even if you intent to give the same thing to them.

Democracy was also seen as a shining light during those bleak ages. The opportunity to have a say in the goverment, vote the people to represent you to voice out the needs of the people, education for all and most importantly the ability to govern the country independently. Actually, some of these aims were also part of the CMP's agenda, but they don't have a proper institution, and most importantly, the support of the British Empire.

(Malaysia: Meet my elder brother and my step-sister, the drag queen with the beard)

But, I believe the very ideology Communist is pushing for,ironically, might be their undoing. You see, communism is based of the concept of sharing. During the dawn of communism, they fought for a classes society where every human is equal. This is also further advocated with the sharing of property. They also envisioned for "a free society with no division or alienation, where mankind is free from oppression and scarcity."

Now where did I heard this from? Hmmm...yes, the most unlikeliest source of all.....

THE BIBLE!!!

If you all can refer to the book of Acts, the apostles of the Lord promoted sharing of property between the belivers. One fine example is Barnabas. He was a good man from Cyprus who sold all his property and gave ALL the profits to the poor. This can be said about the other believers, although they do not need to give away all the profits, they just need to tell the apostles the truth, something Annaias and Sapphira learned the hard way before their untimely death.

Infact, Jesis also strived for a kingdom where everyone is equal before God's eyes. And this is evident with the acceptance of Gentiles into the Kingdom of God. Now, they have all the privileges the Jews used to have with God. This is definitely good news for me and all my fellow friends who does not have a Father who looks like Elliot Yamin, or a brother like Adam Lambert!

(Frankly, I hate him. No more,no less)

So, why does Communism have the same concept with Christianity,to some extent, and yet fall into ruins just like the Berlin Wall which is well known to be a symbol of communist dictatorship?

I believe the answer is simple. They don't have Christ as the center of the household. If they don't have Christ as their leader, who are they serving?

It's money!! Money has always been the problem since people began to realize the barter system is obsolete. It is the "root of all evil" and Communism took a downturn after corruption tooks it's place in the communism hierarchy.

God also fixed the problem even before it got hold of the early church. When Annias and Sapphira tried to deceive the people into thinking they gave the whole lot for the poor, when they actually kept some of the profit, the Spirit came down on Peter and he condemned them to death.

See, I believe Communism is a decent concept ever conceived for the well-being of others. But because Christ was not in the center of communism, it will never flourish, and worse still, they will have a hard time hanging on to the very last thread of survival.And Yes, Democracy took over the world by storm and is viewed as alot of superior against Communism, but if they turn their backs away from Jesus Christ, I believe the Kingdom of God will come sooner than we allthought it would be.

Beauty

2009-11-19T02:29:00.000-08:00

" This was the question I attempted in my English Paper 1 for SPM. Initially I wanted to try one question that was about long holidays for student. But I couldn't brainstorm for good ideas and put in many proverbs or bombastic words for that matter.

So I answered the one-word essay and this is what I wrote for the examinations, I think."

I always wonder why is there such a quote such as "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder". Initially I disagree with this statement. Since when Beauty was such a bias thing? Isn't beauty supposed to be universal??

So here I am with my friend, sipping our English Tea. As we chatted among ourselves all the things we done during the holidays, suddenly my friend pointed out the artwork on our tea cups.

"I'm fascinated by the artwork on the cups. Don't you think it takes alot of talent and patience to come up with such details?" He commented.

"Well, I think it is a load of crap".

He was stunned. I must admit art isn't really my forte. It could be due to the fact that I never really love artwork that much.

After that, we payed our bills and left the shop, walking along the streets. Then out of a sudden, a lass walked pass by me, and what a sight that is. She had eyes like Sapphire and a figure that could rival that of Venus or even Megan Fox for that matter. But my friend just shrugged his shoulders, saying that she look more like a Drag Queen to him.

A drag queen? Come on! She is the girl of my dreams, even more so for many other people to be exact. He must have been from another planet or a lesbian to say that girl was a "Drag Queen".

"Now this my friend, is beauty". My friend then said.

"What? Who? Where?". As I look around, found nothing decent, let alone attractive.

" Here, my sister."

Her sister? He must be seriously out of this world. His sisters has so many freckles and pimples she would scare the living daylights out of Frankenstien! But I can't blame him, because he used to have a brother who recently just passed away. So it's a no-brainer why he treasured his sister so much.

After they had a brief chat, she left us and walked towards the town mall. Apparently she is going to the mall with her friends.

" Isn't she a beauty?" My friend asked.

Okay, so what am I supposed to say? I'm now caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.

" She's.....different today". I spoke with a smile

My friend smiled back at me, I hoped it wasn't sarcastic as mine. So after that, we parted ways. He had to buy some groceries for his mother while I walked back alone, after I take a detour around a lake.

As I walked along,I sat on a stone bench.It was quite clean so I lied down for a moment. I can't help but notice the evening scenery. The sun is descending, along with it came rays of orange painted on a purple canvas. The birds are flying, drifting through the breeze that pass by me.I closed my eyes and ponder back on my memories.Then something stopped me.

"Mum, can we go back now? This place is boring". A child whined.

"Dear Jimmy, we will go home soon. Okay?"

The mum and child then walked away. Then I thought to myself,"Indeed, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder".

SPM!

2009-11-16T05:14:00.000-08:00

So this is it, in two days time it'll be THE exam I have been studying and working on since DAY 1 in form 1. It is the only sensible reason (albeit by a small margin) of why students in the Malaysian Education system have been blind bulls for almost our lives.

The waiting is already starting to get on me, because I don't want my parents, friends and teachers who have taught us tirelessly ( most of them anyway) till they sweat drops of blood. And most important of all, I don't want to let down God.

Sure, he'll know what I will get for my SPM because he "was,is and is to come", but I think I wouldn't want to ask what I get for SPM. I think I'll find it out myself.....

So, all the best to the SPM candidates, and may all the luck of the world be with you. And together we can survive the ordeal together!

SPM, here we come!!

7 Days....and it's not enough! (For some of us anyway)

2009-11-11T02:03:00.000-08:00

Gosh, with just one look and it's Day 1 for SPM. When I first started school this year, it looked like SPM will never, ever come. Now it seems like most of us wish it'll never come.

I never intend to spoil anyone's day (if it isn't spoiled) and announce that SPM will start in 7 MORE DAYS. But behind all the expectations and "excitements" that happens around this time of the year, I began to realize that my days of White uniforms and cheap slacks are numbered...and it's no double-digit integer.

When I was in Standard in SRJK(C) Chong Cheng. We've been celebrating once UPSR was over. And when the final day in my primary school was going to end. Many of us began to shed tears, cause we may never meet again...I had one friend who was so sad he was bitter in his heart, and kicking his bicycle many times-- And that friend was a really good friend.

As I look back at my Hamid Khan school life, it was enjoyable.I faced many setbacks,(some because of my wrongdoings) and disspoinments, in fact there were many things I wished I could have done to make a difference or have a good experience. It can be from forgetting to buy a share in the "Ko-Operasi" to being a better CF leader, or even trying to be a Warden for a while.

Mind you, I still don't like my school's prefects. It's not because they have to enforce the laws, the problem I have with them is that they sometimes break the laws....heck I can say some of them are worse than the ordinary schoolmates. Yes, there all a few Good Apples in the body but then again....they are the minority. I still remember one time I go against one prefect (who was a senior) for not asking some people to line up while he hold us up.

It is these moments that define one's school life. Now I'm going to face the same thing all over again. This time, it'll definitely be the last.

Unless I don't study in Form 6 though.

The last BK lessons?

2009-11-03T06:59:00.000-08:00

Today was the last of my Bible Knowledge(BK) lessons for the year. It'll probably be my last one. Ever.

Throughout my one and a half year of studying God's word for exams(I came in quite late in 2008) I have learn more about the Gospel and actually took time to read Acts. Before that, I never ever read or even look through Acts. I didn't know about Luke, I didn't know that Paul was against Christianity in the first place or that Acts was written by Luke in the first place at all.

But by studying BK, I have gain more knowledge of God's word and met great friends. I even have a wonderful teacher who help me enjoy BK and taught us very well.

However, what I fear is that my batch or even the BK candidates of 2009 will be last. You see the government has set a quota of subjects each students can take and that is 10. Well, some of you might think that for National school students, it will be okay for them to drop English for Science and Technology(EST) for BK. But how about the secular schools? They are required to sit for Chinese exams. (Taking Chinese schools as an example)

What's ironic is that Islam-related subjects are exempted from this ruling. True, I supposed their Principe is that the more religious paper you take, the more merit you'll get when you meet God. (I'm giving an presumption based on the ruling for Islam papers)

Well, I do agree that Religion and Education should not be clashed together, so it's good that Islam students (or anyone for that matter) can take as many Islam-related papers as they want. But why can't BK be given the same exemption. Shouldn't Form 4 BK candidates be given the luxury to choose whether they want to take BK or not? It appears that many of us wouldn't have any choice at all....

Paul once wrote that "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day"(2 Tim 4:7-8). I believe BK exams are not "THE" only race every Christians must race and compete( otherwise many people couldn't have return to the Lord), but the ruling has severe implications not only to Christians, but many people as well. They are people who are not Christians that even take BK as an exam subject just for an extra A. This is an indirect way of spreading the Gospel to those people because the Gospel is to be known "to the ends of the world" (Acts 1:8)

Now, it seems, people like us have one race we can never enter in our lives. Ever.

Untitled.......for now.

2009-10-27T03:08:00.000-07:00

I'm off to a BBQ later this evening. It's kinda like a farewell for the form 5's for two years of hard work and a year of preparations for the form 4's. Hopefully I can be there earlier to help up and possibly get the first taste of what is to come. ;)

Anyway, school has been relatively quiet these few days. And I mean it literally. Attendances has been predictably very low, and although the HM will do something about it, I doubt any of the "soon-to-be" school leavers will pay a single attention to her.

We'll see about that, but I must admit I like a smaller class. It's easier for me to do my studies this way. But oh well, it's the school's calling. They have to execute power to show they are still relevant and mean business to the students. Let's hope they are not like our National Football Team with all the teeth broken from all the whipping they get playing against other lesser teans. What tigers.....

Post-Trials Fun; Pre-SPM preparations

2009-10-16T05:53:00.000-07:00

I'm really sorry for not updating for such a long time! Gosh, never had ample time for blogging.

Now, my trial exams are over! Got all the results, pretty decent I suppose. So what's a student gotta do? Prepare for SPM!

This may seem ironic for an average student, but I enjoy going to school now. Alot of my classmates are not attending school (apparently they want to study at home), and attendance is--at times-- an all-time low. Except for some cases where miraculously most students will turn up on a certain day ( 28/37) and days where 5S1 won't even turn up. (10/37)

As for me? I'm forced to go to school most of the time. It's really hard for me to get permission to skip school. First, I have to go through my mum, the I have to go through my dad who is alot harder to convince. So I plan out when I decide to skip school provided I have enough reasons that are plausible for me to sleep in in my bedroom.

But even if I have to go to school, I still enjoy it. At times, me and my friends will study in the physics lab cause Pn. Lim is so gracious to let us study there. It's alot more peaceful, conductive and a cleaner place for me to do some exercise or even the occasional chit-chat among us.

I'll TRY to blog as often as I can, so stay tune!

Unneccessary Maths Equation + Good for Nothing Rapper = This Random Post

2009-09-27T03:12:00.000-07:00

My days at school will start in about 13 hours time and to help all of us get out of the holiday mood, it will be our last day of trials.

And as you all would probably know, it will be the Add Maths paper. It has been the most hyped up topic in our class cause :

1) It's THE subject to score(and fail) in science stream SMK Hamid Khan
2) We have the whole week of holidays to study
3) A s0-called "Ninja" teach us---at "Ninja" speed.

So,I revised my paper and went over the Perak trial paper for 2008. So I guess I'm pretty pumped up for the exam. I think.

+-=+-==-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+=-+
(Sorry, I can't think of any other symbol after dealing with them for so,so, long)

Anyway, I'll be sharing on my thoughts on the "Good for Nothing Rapper", and for the moment, it's none other than the "Douche Bag of the year"---Kanye West

(He couldn't be pictured better)

If you all haven't heard recently, while Taylor Swift was making her acceptance speech for winning the "Best Female Video" for "You Belong with Me"(which is a craze among my peers at the moment). Kanye....you know what, this dude doesn't even deserved to be referred by his name. I'll substitute it with...

(In recognition for his moronic rationality)

Okay back to the point, so as Mr.Douche-bag went on the stage and grabbed the microphone and said that he thinks Beyonce has "one of the best videos of all time". This shocked Beyonce and Taylor Swift more so, Mr. Douche-bag was booed off my the crowd and was removed from the remainder of the show.

Despite many apologies, he knows what happened on that night will surely tarnish his already screwed up reputation. I mean, any man in the right mind wouldn't do suck a stunt and it has already received condemnation from many celebrities and even him.

You know, I think this is his publicity stunt cause he's career is at mediocre at best . Look at him, he has a music video that had a pornstar(Touch the Sky), a song that "borrowed" tunes from two helmet-wearing guys(Stronger) and a song with T.I. that is surpassed by an American Idol's version.(Heartless)

But he isn't a stranger to dissing fellow artistes in public. Remember the last incident where he wasn't happy about getting the "Video of the Year" for "Touch the Sky"? He thinks that his video should win cause it has:

1) A Pornstar
2) He flying in rockets
3) Refer to 1 and 2.

But I have to admit that these days, sex+explosion is the "in" thing right now. Just look at Transformers.

(Flawless formula, what can go wrong?)

In the end, all the best to Taylor Swift just for being Taylor Swift and a slap on the face for Mr. Douchebag, although some ass-spanking on him would be good too. But let us not go overboard, I do think Mr. Douche-bag should deserved an award for all the crap he has been giving to all of us.

(Oh, this is the Kanye West award, isnt it?-CavalierX)

Enough said, good bye!

Raya Holiday

2009-09-19T23:13:00.000-07:00

I was supposed to finish off my trials exam by this week, but no...the government had to give an impromptu holiday for all of us. Now I have to wait for one more week just to finish off my Add Maths paper.

So, to kill of time, I decided to reinstall Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault. It was quite an old game that I used to play often, but as time goes on, it got shelved. Out of boredom, my bulb just light on and I dug out old games I used to play often.(very often)

Until then, happy holidays!

You know, it isn't right when the one dressed as a duck is the manliest guy in the group.

That's actually just one Flash trying out several different pick-up approaches at once.

This isn't what I meant by flash mob.

He's still a lot better than Nickleback.

Trials

2009-09-06T18:43:00.001-07:00

Tomorrow will be the day the majority of SPM candidates will be having their trial exams(With the exception of CGL of course). Some slightly later, some will start after today.

And it would be the inevitable period where people will mourn or groan aloud that they can't do it, will fail their subjects badly and daa dee daa dee daa...

I mean, if they really want to spend their time groaning, they could save their tears and their whining for the economy, global warming, political chaos or even the burial of MJ.

(Boohoo, I'm dead)

Back to the topic, while some starts groaning about their exams, some come out with "equations" that justify why students fail in exams. Ever heard of the list of things people do in a lifetime and how much time each of those chores took? (e.g. Talking - 4 Days) and then they subtract an average life span with all their chores which leaves studying into 0.

Okay, I admit I was amused by that. But it does not justify those who work hard for their results and earned 8A's or more. Some to the extent of 20. Are you trying to suggest that those who study so hard that they would leave out their daily chores? You think these people are zombies???

(Pictured: SPM top scorers)

You could say that she took multiple subjects related to her faith(that is Islam) and that is the reason she could achieve so many A's. But then again, 20 subjects are tiring enough, not to mention the papers each subject consist of. So, applause to this girl who is very lucky just to have a plate of rice on her table.

At the end of the day, everyone can do well in their studies. Some may not be academically talented, but they can still earn a decent score. As for me, all I want is that I have the assurance that I done well and that "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."- 2 timothy 4.7

So, study without fail cause you will fail without study. (I hope I can copyright this phrase)

Until next time.

My favourite MJ songs

2009-09-04T02:25:00.000-07:00

Today, the King of Pop will finally be laid to rest in a cemetary.(duh) Well, no one can deny his impact not only to the music world but in everyone's life. He was one of the pioneer's of crossing genre, moonwalk, robot-dance and even made MTV to what it is today.

So, here are some of my favourite MJ songs :

Billie Jean (Thriller) :

Dirty Diana (Bad) :

Stranger in Moscow (HIStory) :

Blood on the Dance Floor(HIStroy) :

You Rock My World (Invicinble) :

GOD- Great on Degrading.

2009-08-30T19:07:00.000-07:00

Yesterday while I was at my church's main service, the youth's were going to present an item. The pastor's son, Jeremy had written a song "In This Land" and it was a great song. Not less nor more.

But what I want to give you a glimpse of our society isn't found in the song, rather it was the people who were seating behind me. One, in fact there's two of them, were talking among themselves and wondered who was the guy who presented that item. Then one of them said it was Pastor's Kok Aun's son.

"OH MY GOD!!! It is him!! Wow, MY GOD, he has grown so tall".

"Yeah, he even sounds and act like his father, OH MY GOD."

Great, now people are using God's name in vain not only in public, but in his Sanctuary??? God's name is holy, it is his name that commanded evil spirits out of people, it is his name that the lame can walk, the deaf can hear and people are saved to meet him in heaven. All because of his holy name.

Did you know? Back in the times of Ancient Israel, anyone who uses God's name in vain will be punished....to death by stoning. Yes, that is how serious the offence was. And now people are beginning to swear by God's name and go 'Oh My God' when something big happens. OMG (Pun intended)

The reason these people are not condemned to stoning these days is because :

1) By God's grace he endures our sin
2) Stoning is so old-fashioned compared to electric chairs or death injection
3) There's no more stones around cause it's been used to construct new churches without any regard for the people's welfare.

And my church is building a new church.....beside our old one (if you don't consider the AIA building). Pretty much like building a nuclear reactor beside one. One is enough to impact one's neighborhood, two will likely create a rivalry between both churches to see who can 'harvest' more.

Back to the topic, it isn't cool to use God's name in vain as opposed to the movies.(Sometimes I wonder when will it go passe). The least you could do is "Oh My Goodness", but I don't think God's goodness should also be taken lightly. Right?

Blogging Tips

2009-08-27T06:01:00.000-07:00

I received an email from my mum which contains an useful link from those who aspire to be bloggers or have already blogged since they learn how to type.Unsurprisingly, I'm one of the latter and being the curious lot, I checked out the link.

Turns out, my bandwidth did not go to waste. In this particular link, the author says that blogs are not essential to everyone. I repeat: IT's NOT ESSENTIAL TO EVRYONE. It really gave me a clearer picture on this blogging trend as I see too many people starting one and yet stop posting for about a couple of weeks. Just as what an old chinese adage:半途而废 (literally meaning that you progress halfway before wasting all the effort).

This is because not everyone wants to reveal what are they doing their whole life. They also won't enjoy Twitter or even Plurk. So what the author is trying to say is : If you have something to say to the internet community, then blog; If not, forget about it

But some of the tips are a bit way too much for me to handle. 3 posts per day? I admit I don't have the capacity to brain storm effectively, let alone 3 blog post per day. My aim for now is to blog at least twice 2 day. Maybe more depending on my time, my mood and whether my mum decided that I should earn a living by blogging.

Besides that, I'm not really a photo blogger, so the link for cropping photos in one go is maybe not that necessary for me yet. Perhaps in the future? Maybe. So I better save the link.

"Draft ideas as they happen." Now that is something I would like to point out. I agree that the best ideas or inspiration doesn't necessarily comes when facing the desktop(or your laptop for that matter). Ideas can come from everywhere, from Proms to Short stories(e.g. the Pearl) or even cockroaches. Yeah, it's true. My friend wrote about it and my oh my it gave me some chuckles.

Well, you can visit the link at the intro to learn more about this blogging tips. And now, I'm gonna cancel my nuffnag from my blog cause:

1) I don't need to increase my traffic and destroy the purpose I blog.
2) I doubt I can earn money from nuffnag for poor traffic
3) Screw nuffnag.

Happy Holidays.

And here he goes complaining again....

2009-08-24T07:01:00.001-07:00

Carloz Tevez claimed that Fergie, the current manager of Manchester United is "scared" of the new and supposedly "improved" Manchester City squad.

First of all, he says that he isn't satisfied that he doesn't get as much league appearances as Dimitar Berbatov and Wayne Rooney, who as also fellow strikers. First of all, Tevez isn't as good as those two as he "thinks" he is. Besides that, can't he just learn the art of being a "super-sub" just like Solksjaer during the 90's and early 2000's? Solksjaer, for your information is the one who clinched the UEFA champions league for the Red Devils, and thus the season that is Treble 99.

(Two babyfaces, except one has a CL medal while the other whines about everything)

If only Carlos Tevez had taken the initiatif to take up that role and possibly be the centre stage of the matches he will be playing. And then, he decided to snub a deal from Manchester United and went to Manchester City, the derby rivals. It's like rejecting a Mercedes for a Kancil.

(It isn't much of a hard discision right?)

Which brings me to my next point. Aepparently Carlos Tevez snubbed a move to Liverpool and choose City because of "Emotional Reasons", stating that it would do less damage to the fans of Man. United. Okay Tevez, how is switching to a club whose rivalry streches way longer than that of Liverppol or possibly his score sheet, justified? It doesn't make sense.The problem with Manchester City is their record of winning titles(or rather the lack of it).If he says switching to Manchester City raises a higher chance of European glory, he clearly dismiss the fact that the last time they won an European cup was 39 years ago. And the last domestic glory? 6 years later.

On the contrary, Liverpool have won the Champions Leagues in 2005 and they won the FA cup the following year. I'm not suggesting that I like Liverpool, but if I have a choice, I'll know who I'll choose.

Despite that, Tevez is still adamant on moving to City. And almost everyone(except himself) knows that the sole reason he moved to Manchester City is because of the high wage he will receive while donning the light blue shirt on the field, not to mention the newly purchased Barry,Robinho and Adebayor who too, came because their eyeballs are shinning british currency all over them.

I can go on and on about Tevez's rants on Fergie, but I believe he is beginning to realize that he went overboard. See, if he stopped complaining to the press about his disastrous relationship with Fergie, he could probably pulled off the greatest hoax and gain sympathy from the Red Devils fan. See, the fans have very high regard of him and pressured Alex Ferguson to sign him on a permanent deal. If Tevez just stop the noise and proceeded to sign for Manchester City, Fergie will get the very "hairdryer treatment" he is infamous for from the fans.

But Tevez went overboard and ironically, the fans who adored Tevez so dearly is beggining to hate him for criticizing Ferguson. And we all know who is the victor at the end of the day. Just look at Beckham or Van Nistelrooy.

(Believe me, he has worser moments than that)

And now we have Tevez claiming that Ferguson is scared of the new Manchester City squad ahead of their derby match which will surely excite both sides of Manchester. If that's not enough, he continues by saying that Mark "Sparky" Hughes, the manager of City is a better manager cause "he has been a football player so there is a big difference in the way he treats each player."

Now I'll probably show the middle finger to Tevez for this one. Ferguson was a striker in Aberdeen during the 60's (i think) and mind you, he scores goals. Lots of them. Probably more than Tevez could in 10 cycles of his lifetime. And please, guess where did Mark Hughes rise to fame? Manchester United. Who was the gaffer? Ferguson.

So, at the end of the day. Tevez is screwed. He talks to much, is as dangerous in front of goal as my old teddy bears and worse of all, he doesn't know it. I'll hope he spends time getting used to the bench, cause he'll have a hard time getting a place on the starting XI with 9 strikers in Manchester City. I'm not kidding.

(Better be used to this scene from now on)

Girls Generation - Gee

2009-08-22T03:31:00.000-07:00

WL introduced to me this video. Pick yours, you'll be spoiled for choices. :D

My favourites are:

The one with the green jacket and aviation forage cap (1.22), the one with the sun glasses on her head with pink feathers all around. (2.01-2.10) . The girl in 2.18 (in my opinion) has better vocals compared to the others. The one singing in (2.42) and (2.53) isn't quite bad too.

At least I now know that WL "kua cha bo" ( Attraced to girls). Progress is the word. XD

A New World Survey

2009-08-18T07:49:00.000-07:00

Got this from an email:

NEW WORLD SURVEY

Last month a world-wide Phone survey was conducted by the UN. The only question asked was:-

"Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?"

The survey was a huge failure because of the following:

In Eastern Europe they didn't know what "honest" meant.

In Western Europe they didn't know what "shortage" meant.

In Africa they didn't know what "food" meant.

In China they didn't know what "opinion" meant.

In the Middle East they didn't know what "solution" meant.
In South America they didn't know what "please" meant.

In the US they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant.

And Finally...........................

In Australia they hung up because they couldn't understand the Indian accent.

I like the punchline. I never know that the UN's voice is someone born in the streets of Madras....or Kampung Buah Pala.

I think if Malaysians were to fit in the survey. I think we won't understand what "give" means.The irony of this is so depressing cause Malaysians are thought to be very generous, and yet we crowd around an accident scene cause we like to "jaga tepi kain orang" without any regards of the road users who maybe have something more urgent errands to take care of rather than some dead man who has a " Lisen Kopi".

*Actual name not revealed to avoid backstabbing

I been through this scenario before, and I lament to myself, "WHY OH WHY SUCH PEOPLE EXIST??". They take people for granted, never try to be a friend, and yet suddenly calls you or talk to you in msn just because they need help. And after that they just say a bloody 'goodbye' and be strangers to you.

I have a scout senior who tells me of such people. In his case, he said some people will suddenly ask you for transport back home out of nowhere. And the thing is, these people never even bother knowing you, let alone talk to you.

See, this are what I call people who take advantage of you. When they need something and if all else fails, they will find you. Thickening their face to ask you to help them as if you been their BFF forever. That is why if I have to say out one type of attitude I can never tolerate, it is this.

*******************

In another story, I kinda like this girl. But everytime I try to..let's just say, compliment her or what's that word... 'pikat'?? She just shrugs it off. I mean, I don't know whether she likes it, or simply don't bother at all.

My friend(who is a close friend of that girl) says that that's her usual reaction cause she's an introvert. But, despite the fact I can understand the rationality behind her action. I just can't keep it on.I'm the kind of person that expects to see results, and prefably something prominent and not obscure. That's why I doubting myself on holding on until I'm done with my last exam(SPM).

I seriously need help, anyone? I need God help me cause I know, He cares for me and he doesn't want me to see me suffer. If only I can see the answer for myself. Perhaps he may send someone who can give me advice? I'll just have to wait.....and see.

Weird Websites

2009-08-11T03:40:00.000-07:00

"For the fun of it anyway". That's what I tell people. Random browsing of websites can(and will) give you a more wider view of the world, sometimes a tad TOO clear. Some of it range from the weird and funny to those that are...sinister is word perhaps??

EMO KIDS: For EMO____(place any object here)

http://www.luv-emo.com/

What is the site dedicated to:

Justifying EMO is a kind of lifestyle that everyone on this world should embrace. It even dedicated webpages to defend kids who are labelled as EMO.(It can be seen in the main page, refer to EMO KIDS)

Seeing the website, it makes me feel sad. How pitiful that those EMO jerks have to set up a website to spread their cultural and protect their long-gone integrity.

It's like a shopping mall. You have the hairstyle,clothes,pictures,makeups and wallpapers, or if you are like those who like literature, there's the poetry, quiz and even jokes. Jokes??? And emo???? How contradicting. It's like putting Anwar & Kit Siang together to have Milo Ais in my school canteen.

Benefits:

Seriously, my friends in school could do a whole lot better than what these monkeys can come up with. Better have a trip to Queensbay to undertstand EMO culture. Close Up.

(Their message: EMO is good. Reality: I'm a moron and I know it, just that I don't want to admit it.

STORM FRONT : White Nationalist Community

http://www.stormfront.org/forum/

What is the site dedicated to:

Idolizing Nazi's and screwing Jewish people all the way. I'm not kidding. There's even a thread in the forum that reads : " The White Nationalist Field Manual."

(What the cover would probably be like)

As I browse through their threads, some of it are just plain stupid. There's even a "Poetry" section which serves to "Expand your vocabulary and discover the secrets of our language." I even found one thread which reads "Over hyped Jewish Actors".

Any Benefits?( No, seriously)

If you plan to rise up against humanity and revive the Nazi propaganda, this would be the ideal site for you. But seriously,there are better things to do like cap Nazi Soldiers heads in "Call of Duty", sewing or even watching paint dry.

By the way, I found out that Adam Sandler is a jew.

( I play with Remote Controllers just for the fun of it, so slap me in the face)

And my favourite of all.....

CRACKED!!!! America's only Humour and Video Site Since 1958.

http://www.cracked.com/

What is the site dedicated to:

Giving people with nothing to do on the internet something to read about. (That's me!!!)

I stumbled unto this website while reseaching for my debate competition (which we lost spectacularly) and honestly I enjoy reading their articles. Some of the articles are in fact facts that really shed light on the events of the world. I also admire some of the photoshop-ing skills of some of the readers of the website.

(One of their latest magazine, some say the worst)

But be warned, some the articles that are published are, although are reinforced with legitimate sources to back up their facts, are presented in quite an unconventional way.I leave your imagination do the rest of the job.

Benefits?

I can only think of one. None. It's a retarded website for pete's sake. The articles are really there just to make someone laugh or brighten their day. But you should give it a try and read some of the articles and videos posted, it's worth your bandwidth.

**********

Now please be reminded I do not intend to :

1) Promote EMO culture
2) Patronize Nazism
3) or even making fun of Cracked.

I just hope that my readers will have a fun time browsing through websites that helps make the world a more interesting place to live in. Ironically, I'm starting to get scared of the internet. And for good reasons.

What I want to say.

2009-08-08T22:04:00.000-07:00

It has been a week since I updated my blog. Nothing much has happened besides the Balik Pulau Scrabble competition. We lost out badly.

Overall.we won 4th placing. A bad record when compared to last year when we were champions. All I can take as a consolation is that this year SGGS and CLHS entered and that's why it was tough for us to win. =(

Anyway, I got an idea from my friend that since my blog link is "Irony Coast",why don't I try putting the word "ironicallly" or it's root word "irony" in all my blog posting?

Can it be done?

A Review: Biology Form 5 Textbook

2009-07-31T18:11:00.000-07:00

Surprisingly, I actually managed to read the whole textbook for the first time! And well, I thought some of you might have a opinion of the book somewhere in a place call the internet but I couldn't find one that is honestly, honest. So here I am trying to share my views on this free* book compliments from the Malaysian Government and despite my lack of Book Critic credentials,experience let alone recognition--- I'll do one just for the sake of fun.

*Taxpayers money

(first image that popped out for "book reviewer" courtesy of Google)

The book starts of with acknowledges to the people who contributed to the book, then the contents and message from the government...much like a Form 1 folio. Geez, did they refer to their folios as a reference for a SPM quality book? The irony..

Now the book is essentially a part of a 5-part episode of "Science" series in secondary level. This biology book is actually a spin-off title that started from "Biology Form4" textbook. However, more details of the plot is found in this book that expands the stories found in the previous 4 books.

For example, in the first chapter(Transport), we learn more one of the most important characters throughout the series which is "Red Blood Cell" & "White Blood Cells". In this book, we learn the different names they are referred to and not only that, the sub characters that are part of them(Think Monocyte,Basophil for Red Blood Cell). Not only that, we learned more about another character which has a very 'emo' name that is"Heart" and this book explains more on the chracteristics of the character and clarify that "Heart" is indeed not an 'emo'.

(Don't touch me or I'll cut my wrist to bleed to death!)

In a gist, the first chapter of this book has done well to explain more on those popular characters found in the previous book. Good start.

Not the 2nd chapter. Apparently the 2nd chapter(Locomotion and Support) is a totally story altogether and is a short story itself.Here, we learn about bones,bones and bones. That's it. It's about as relevant to my aspiration as a box of matches on the moon.And if you are thinking the chapter is all about the television series, it's not.

(Not found in the chapter. Sorry)

But as readers continue on with the 3rd chapter, you find that the previous chapter sets the prologue for it. Apparently the government is trying to do is convince us that chapter 2 is linked with chapter 3. Bad plot settings, they might as well combined the whole chapters in the book and make a Star Wars series out of it.

(The next proposed Biology syallabus)

But we are introduced back a sadly obsucre character found in "Science Form 3" textbook. That is the nerve cell. And it has a cooler(but more geekeir) name---Neurone. And now the character is also expanded with 3 more sub characters, the Affrent Neurone, Efferent Neurone and Interneurone. We also get a glimpse of the setting which the story takes place which is in the Spinal Cord. If you don't have time to read all the chapters, read this one. It's worth your time you allocate for "ponteng".

We learn another group of characters which are in a organization called "hormones". They are bascially the "Power Rangers" of our body and in this book they are explained thoroughtly and dare I say it, they are cool!

(Imagine them as hormones, but a lot less geekier and ridicolous)

Okay, now this is the part everyone has been waiting for since "Science Form 4" the more exciting, but not less controvesial chapter---Reproduction.

I must say the authors of this book really knows to sell their book.(Although it was given free* by goverment) Not only that expand more on the plot found in "Sciene Form3", but they dedicated an arc,which consist of 3 chapters!!!

I'll sum up the 3 chapters dedicated to sex. In chapter 4, we learn a little bit* more on how menstrual cycle works, how the two lovely character called "sperm" and "ovum" meet and their origins.

*Ten pages

(I'm not saying anything)

In the next chapter, the readers will be enthralled by the "after" part of birth. We learn about another character which is a pain in a butt to read that is "chromosome". Since we learn alot about them in the previous book, we now learn how they influence babies all around the world so that they won't look like the parents they are hate* for the rest of their lives.

*The writer isn't in any circumstances relating himself

"Everyone is Different"

That is how the last chapter (Variation) starts itself.Now the "chromosome" has a bigger part in this last chapter of the book. And surprisingly, I feel the way the last chapters sums up the arc of "Reproduction" and not to reveal too many details is really a great techinique of ending the story. The readers are left to wonder how will "choromosome" end up after the book and it's adventures later on in life. Actually, there are canon's of reproduction for plants but hey, learning about our own body is way more interesting.

So, I can say that the last 3 chapters of the book wants to give a clearer picture on the reproduction. From "Penis+Vagina= Babies" into "Male reproductive system+ female reproductive system=the next generation". Wait, isn't it the same? And more complicated??

Because of making this the whole process more complicated, I'll have to reconsider giving a good endorsement. Thus, after some considerations, I give "Biology Form 5" a 6 out of 10*.

*Now I just hope my bio teacher doesn't see this.

Friends for Sale Poem. =.='

2009-07-27T06:52:00.000-07:00

In order to publicize myself so that everyone will "buy" me. I created an impromptu poem to attract people. Not sure they bought me because of the poem, or my good looks or just that they want to have fun buying me as their pet. =.=' I hope it's not the latter.

I use to play hide and seek,
but that does not mean I'm meek.
I'm crazy over Facebook,
it got me on the hook.

My price may be more than a triple,
but that's because of Mrs. Pineapple. (That's Tze Yen btw =P)
I write with right,I kick with my left,
I have a friend whom I call What-The-Ef!! (Wei Teng Wei Teng.... XD)

A man like you seems like a nice person,
but you can never be that handsome.
A crowd,You may gather with your beauty,
but compared to my mother, you're look like your ninety.

I'm have great friends whom I trust dearly,
cause I appreciate them truly.
So if you want to know them more closely,
BUY ME BUY ME with my heart I say sincerely!!

Opinions?? :D

Scape Goat

2009-07-26T05:42:00.000-07:00

I was doing my "Bible Study Fellowship"(BSF) work moments ago and this year we are studying about the life of Moses, in Egypt and out of it. Specifically, Exodus and right now, Leviticus.

So this week we were learning about the goat and sacrifices.Now, as I was doing the questions. One of the question reads:

10."Describe the symbolic ceremony for the removal of the sins that had been atoned by death"
(ref. Leviticus 16:20-28)

Apparently the process is somewhat unique, to say the least. Aaron(the high priest, not the one blogging about this when he's got better things to do) is to bring forth a live goat.But before this, he actually has to find 2 goats in the middle of the dessert. Thankfully he has the whole community of Israelites ready to help him cause they too, committed MANY sins.

(Their worst)

I'll bring you back to another part of Levitcus, 16:7-10.

"....Then he is to take the two goats and present them before he Lord at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.He is to cast lots for thre two goats-one lot for the Lord and another for the scapegoat.Aaron shall bring the goat whose lots falls to the Lord and sacrifice it for a sin offering.But the goat chosen by lot as a scapegoat shall be presented alive before the Lord to be used for making atonement by sending it into the desert as a scapegoat."

Some of the things I learn:

1) The method of casting lots for choosing a goat to kill is also used to elect the new disciple to replace Judas.
2)I never know sacrificing goats involves lucky draws, or for this matter, unlucky.
3) Either way, both goats are screwed.

Anyway, back to the topic. In essence, if Aaron the High Priest is to make a sin offering to God, he has to choose 2 goats. One of them gets a quick but brutal death whilst the other has oppurtunity to die with dignity,albeit a slow but painful one.

(I'm sure one of them is still wandering here...)

I want to concentrate on the goat which will be spending it's last days in the desert.The whole process continues when Aaron is "to lay both hands" on the goat.Why? "To confess over it all the wickedness and rebellion of the Israelites-All their sin-and put them on the goat's head". Basically Aaron is placing all the wickedness of the Israelites unto the goat and thus, the goat will be used as a "scapegoat".After that, the goat will carry the sin's of the people ans sent to the dessert to rot and die.

(Death to you evil goat!)

If you haven't noticed, this is where the term "scapegoat" originated. It's amazing that the many of the phrases used nowadays originated from the bible. Think of "David vs Goliath", "Spare the rod,spoil the child" or even what we call our loved ones:"apple of my eye"! The word scapegoat is defined as "something or someone selected to bear blame for a calamity" (Wikipedia.com), very much the way the Israelites did for the goat.Ironically, the Israelites will be scapegoats themselves during the Holocaust period as they are blamed for Germany's poor economy during Post-WWI period.

But there is another scapegoat, this time on a bigger scale-Jesus-. He is hummanity scapegoat don't you think.We can't denied the fact that everyday, more and more people are doing bad things and thus, more sins are committed. Now, we can't atone for our sins anymore with goats because:

1) All goats are imperfect as they may have some defects, externally and/or internally.
2) There is too many people's sins for that poor little goat.
3) If more goats are slaughtered, they will become endangered species and WWF will be making a big news out of farm animals.

(not this one)

So that's why God gave us a solution. And it meant that His only son, Jesus Christ has to be a human being, live like a commoner,be a servant,live in the desert for 40 days(the irony),laughed at,got in disputee with religious authorities,and to top it all, DIE FOR US ON THE CROSS. He die in place of all of us on that cross that he has to carry by himself most of the time and nailed on it, 3 times.Moreover, he was flogged,spatted at,beaten,blashphemed and all of his disciples fled away.But the greatest comfort in the crucification is that Jesus Christ resurrected from the dead 3 days later!!! And that is why he has the power to atone for our sins cause he is sinless and he is alive to be a testimony to all of us and the Devil himself.

(Somewhere in there Jesus is laughing at Death and the Devil)

And all Jesus Christ ask from you and me is that we accpet him to be his Lord and Saviour. No other conditions, just a short prayer to acknowledge him for all the torture and ordeal he had to go through. Isn't that the best deal we can get in our lives?

REVO RECESS

2009-07-24T02:03:00.000-07:00

Now I can safely say SMK Hamid Khan has kickstart it's Revo program.Our first activity has cleaning the class room.

First of all, I'm quite dissapointed that most of the committee were not able to make it. Some of them came to school, some had to do their scout and guide activities, while some went to QB because it was a matter of life and death.

Jokes aside, first of all we prayed and then we plan which row of classes we were going to do some cleaning. One of the REVO members who is the school's cleanliness prefect told us that 4K1 is the dirtiest class, so we decided to clean up all the form 4 classes.

I must say a very big "THANK YOU" to God because alot of people came....until I can't give all of them one REVO badge each.I'm missing one more, so if Pragash is reading this post...PLEASE SPARE ME A FEW MORE BADGES!!!I want to give it as a gift to encourage them to participate in this activity more often.

Nevertheless,credits must given to all the people who helped, even those who are not from SMK Hamid Khan's CF.You all doing something meaningful to the school, and slowly but surely, a change CAN and WILL happen in SMK Hamid Khan!!

God Bless.

Monthly Test (JULY)

2009-07-21T07:31:00.000-07:00

I'm not kidding. I'm going to have SPM already, and yet my beloved school is giving us a test....it's probably as relevant as a box of matches on the moon.

But, I still have to take it seriously. Cause, even though it's just a midget compared to SPM, it still matter. Cause it will be in my report slip and most importantly, I'll get heavy bombardment from my parents if I don't do well.

Frankly I think it's pointless.Look, there's 118 more days till SPM and yet we are stuck with a test which WILL definitely not be looked-in when applying for college. They'll look at your "more-important-but-not-as-compared-to-SPM" trials in enrolling you in their college and thus, paying them your leg & hands for your tuition fees.

But, if God can still pay attention to a "petty" like me, shouldn't I be treating my test as the same too?I mean, I'll just one in a BILLION on earth, and yet he gave his only son Jesus to die for me cause I meant the whole world to him.In fact, I am ashamed for not only me, but for mankind. He gave it all(literally) for us to be in heaven and yet many people still reject him, some go as far as saying that the cruxification never happened. Sad.

So, I'll do my part and give my best to my test.Although it won't matter much, at least I "run the race" for him and see what there is in store for me.

5 Thoughts of the Week XIII

2009-07-20T07:20:00.000-07:00

I hate polystrene when they are rubbed together. Hearing the screech gives me the bumps...

My test is starting tomorrow. Wish me all the best, I gotta do well!

"M@l_y$!_N Politicians Says the Darnest Things". Indeed, indeed....

I must confess that I really have no time to finish reading my James Bond novel "Devil May Cry". Argh, perhaps the holidays?

If I have to say one type of person I hate, that is those that is N.A.T.O. (No action,talk only).

Sentimentality

2009-07-18T23:49:00.000-07:00

I found this great picture here. You know all the inspirational pictures with all the good attributes like "Determination", "Attentiveness" and with their one-liners. Someone did the same thing except he was inspired by the comic Calvin and Hobbes.

It does bring back some memories don't you think? I don't know about you, but I grew up reading Calvin and Hobbes. It may very well be the first comic strip I ever read and surely the best so far.When I was a kid, I like to read the comics because of all the elaborate expressions both the characters do and the overall drawing. Some of the scenes are magnificent such as my title header.

But as times goes by, I too grew up and I begin to laugh at the comic strips again; this time it isn't the drawings or caricature but the puns Bill Waterson often put in his strips.

I must have respect for Calvin cause he still keeps Hobbes around even though he has grown up to be an adult.And as you can see in the picture, Calvin lets his unnamed daughther to play with Hobbes and the daughter looks alot like Susie Derkins, Calvin's chilhood crush and I think we'll can safely say who's the mother...

Talking about the picture and the one-liner it comes with. Although not quite the "quote of the century", but you have to admit it makes sense(in a peculiar way).

When we were kids, we play with many toys and take it with us no matter where we go. I used to bring my toy cars, Thomas the tank engine or even my bears along when we travel somewhere else.It's basically our "ipod or Handphone" when we were young.

However, as we grow up and the hormones start kicking in. We longer play with those stuff, branding them as "childish" or something like that, but we do not know how much those things are valueble when we realized, they are gone.

I still have my childhood toys, but I donated some insignificant ones to Salvation Army. Only left are my bears, Hotwheels cars and Thomas the engine. Speaking about Thomas the tank engine, when I was in Changi Airport in Singapore, I found out that they are still selling it.....but those replica's are now made in metal! My collection was the original one's which were made out of wood. Now I know why my parents insist that I keep it even though I do not play with it.

Even my pyramix cube,which is a Rubik's cube but in a form of a triangle. I got it from A&W way,way back when I was still learning my A-B-C. Now, it's longer available and most importantly, I'm the only one in my school who has one. :D

So, go treasure-hunting,get back your old toys,clean it and keep it for your chilldren to play stuff you played as a kid.I'm sure it will be fullfilling experience(although I'm not married,let alone have a kid yet).

Why me????

A picture speaks a thousand words; A string of it speaks more than....you do the math.

Speaks alot don't you think?No? Go bang the wall. See how much it hurts without your father or mother stopping you.

God Bless, and remember it isn't just about you only.

2009-07-16T00:30:00.000-07:00

That's the reason I got because of my question on the teacher's justification on splitting me, Wei Lun and Esther up. But before that, let me give you the prologue of the problem.

Initially, we wanted to register as a team for 5S1 to join the debate competition.But since Sarifah Sarah wants to join too.We decided that Esther would join us in the Semi-Finals, and Sarifah would be our 1st speaker in the finals.(If we win)

It was a "close victory" according to the teacher.(Yeah,the same teacher I mentioned, she's going to play a big part in this story, albeit a "poor player" as William Shakespeare used to say) A lot of blunders were made between our team(goverment) and the opposition team.

Nevertheless, we had a fun time. So we eagerly wait for our finals between the other two teams.

When the results were out, the teacher suddenly had a plan so brilliant she would be short-listed in receiving the Nobel Prize, if and only if the judges had a brain capacity smaller than an ostrich.

She thinks that me and Wei Lun will surely win the final and so, she decided to split me and him up. The form4's were "excited" by the proposal and a loud applause soon happened.Thanks alot, I really appreciete that. Sincerely. Also to the TL of 39 G.T.(S), thanks for all those unecessary comments you made, you'll get into so much trouble if it not that Saik Ian thinks you *still have what it takes to lead our troop.

I got into an arguement with the teacher, and for good reasons of course. We entered the competition as a team, and now we are suppose to fight each other?? What's the point of registering us in the first place. We might as well just get random names and pick the good ones to form a team for the final? Doesn't that save time and there would be no fuss? I'm sure SMK H_K teachers would agree cause they need to "concentrate on the acedemic stuff".

Wei Lun wasn't satisfied, but he just brush it away. Telling me that it doesn't matter, but then what ticked me off soon after that is that the teacher said Sarifah shouldn't compete. Because she wants Andrew to be in my team, along with Nicholas.

Now, why didn't she questioned Wei Lun's team when he has 2 form 5's in his team, and a Form 4 who was in our school team? She also said that Andrew should be given a chance because he worked hard in preparing his speeches. HOW ABOUT SUHA AND YI XIU?? Didn't they work hard also??? Heck, I think they wanted to win the competition as well, why shouldn't they be recognized for their hard work and participation. It's good enough we have classes willing to join the debate, why mix them up??

What's more ironical is that the teacher wants Andrew Loh to be in the team so that the Form 4's will be prepared for next year. And yet, she wouldn't let go of me,Wei Lun and Esther. This is getting way to oxymoronic.

Now I'm stuck with a catch-22 situation, if I walk out, surely someone will bad-mouth me for being so "immature". (Yes, I quoted that from someone who went to a local university to get a teaching degree).What's funny is that the debate topic was "It is better to study locally than overseas". I guess I was at the wrong side of the arguement.

But if I stay on, the very purpose of 5S1 people of joining the debate is lost. We wanted to go and a team, win as a team. And that's all gone so that the students will have something interesting to watch. What? Me arguing against Wei Lun is a "must-watch"? What are we? Entertainment?? Screw you.

Right now, you can say I'm sulking. I have to admit I was doing that, and I am still pretty mad with what has happened.

So, to the "screenies" of my beloved school, I leave you with this quotation from the late MJ:

JUST BEAT IT!!!

Go read other SMK HK student blogs and be the secrurity act you guys are known for,

**********

Btw, we eventually have to compete against each other. But Wei Lun's team defeated us.

Congrats to him,Esther and Sara.

English Week

2009-07-14T08:13:00.001-07:00

Probably my most satisfied week ever in school, even though at the expense of my studies.But hey, it's just one week only, so what?

First Day.

I had to give a 5 minute speech on that day. Well, it wasn't so bad, i did manage to get a few to chuckle. But I still can't get over the fact that both my friends PPK me. =.=

(The airline they used.Hey, at least it didn't crash..)

Then today,they "unintentionally" leaked that someone said that they PPK me. Come on, it's your fault for not getting up early or setting the alarm at the wrong time.Why put the blame on me pointing out your mistakes? The irony is that these people like to pinpoint mistakes in everything: People, organizations, Politicians....you name it,they have an library in their mind dedicated to being just plain critical .

Besides, I need something to make people laugh. XD

After that, it was the scrabble competition. I'm Form 5, so I don't get to play =(

But nevertheless, I had a fun time. We get to walk around, laughing at people who had great tiles to put BINGO's or nice places to put 3-letter words that can score 30+ points.( I mean it)

2nd Day

Also known as today.

The scrabble competition ends today with 3 games of King Of The Hill, if you have no idea what's that. Surely you never playes HALO before.

(Warning: Hysterical laughter may occur followed by a
state of sorriness for the doom of mankind. )

It's basically position #1 vs #2, #3 vs #4, #5 vs #6....you get the idea.The most interesting part(Or rather the lack of it) of the format is that sometimes #1 can play #2 for alot of times.I been to 3 days competition and the #1 played against #2....... 7 times.

Man, to think that I couldn't even last 3 games with the same person.

***********

3rd Day

Elocution day.And also the Spelling Bee competition.

It was fun looking at people misspelling words. XD

Then it was the elocution. Me and Sakthi were the only reprentatives for our class.

He got 3rd. I WAS CHAMPION!!! XD Thanks alot to my mum for helping me in choosing a topic and God that make it happened. =)

5 Thoughts of the Week XII

2009-07-13T07:15:00.000-07:00

Wow, last week's BSF questions were quite a handful. Thank God the questions are straightforward. XD

I can't get enough of "Stranger of Moscow" & "Human Nature"

" We will revert back to BM in the teaching of Science and Maths,but will concentrate more on English"Does anyone see an oxymoron here?

YAY!! I got my 1st custom-made cop. =)

Happy Birthday to you!May god bless you.Sincerely, from us.

I'm speechless...

2009-07-12T06:07:00.000-07:00

Another article to add into the "Back to BM by 2012" Fiasco.

All I can say tothe author of this article is..

"What's with you?? Are you having stress ? Need a break from Politics?
No. Seriously."

*****************

ZULKIFLI BIN NOORDIN
AHLI PARLIMEN
KULIM BANDAR BHARU

Saya mengalu-alukan keputusan kabinet untuk menghapuskan Pengajian & Pengajaran Sains & Matematik Dalam Bahasa Inggeris (PPSMI).

Ini adalah kemenangan kepada pejuang-pejuang bahasa Melayu yang tidak kenal penat lelah, tanpa batasan kepartian atau fahaman, tetapi bersatu bertekad untuk memartabatkan bahasa ibunda. Ini membuktikan bahawa apabila bangsa Melayu boleh mengenepikan fahaman politik dan kepartian, mereka boleh bersatu dan mempertahankan hak, maruah dan martabat mereka.

Ini juga membuktikan bahawa keputusan yang dibuat tanpa konsultansi, muafakat dan rujukan kepada mereka yang pakar akan menjerumuskan rakyat dan negara ke kancah kecelaruan dan haru biru. Dasar yang dibuat oleh Mahathir Mohamed tanpa rundingan dan perbincangan telah menganiaya ramai generasi desa dan kampung yang kepentingan dan kebajikan mereka langsung tidak ada dalam kamus Mahathir Mohamed.

Sebenarnya Artikel 152 Perlembagaan memperuntukkan bahawa Bahasa Kebangsaan adalah bahasa Malaysia. Oleh itu tidak timbul persoalan mengapa kita tidak boleh memartabatkan bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa ilmu. Mendakwa bahasa Melayu sebagai bukan bahasa ilmu adalah satu penghinaan kepada sejarah, peradaban dan ketamadunan bangsa Melayu.

Kita telah melihat banyak bangsa yang langsung tidak menggunakan bahasa Inggeris sebagai bahasa ilmu namun berjaya dipersada pentas keilmuan dunia. Lihat sahaja bangsa Jepun, berapa ramai tokoh ilmuan dan saintis mereka yang menerima anugerah kehebatan duniawi termauk Anugerah Nobel sedangkan mereka sepatah bahasa inggeris pun tidak mereka ketahui.

Sebaliknya kita lihat bangsa Filipina contohnya yang begitu fasih berbahasa inggeris tetapi sekadar berjaya mengekspot ramai pembantu rumah!

Saya berpendapat sesuai dengan slogan 1-Malaysia, maka sudah tiba masanya Bahasa Melayu dimartabatkan semula sebagai satu bahasa ilmu dan bahasa persekolahan.

Sesuai dengan itu, saya sarankan kerajaan melaksanakan perkara-perkara berikut:

1. Mengembalikan tulisan jawi sebagai asas kepada Bahasa Melayu. Dasar meromawikan tulisan bahasa Melayu telah menyebabkan generasi masakini buta jawi dan buta Al Quran. Mereka kehilangan roh bahasa Melayu. Tulisan adalah roh sesuatu bahasa.

2. Menyelaraskan sistem persekolahan kepada "1-Sekolah 1-Bahasa". Ini akan menyegerakan proses integrasi dan memalaysiakan rakyat sebagai bangsa Malaysia. Sebagai langkah pertama, kerajaan perlu ada kekuatan politik (poltical will) untuk memansuhkan semua sekolah bukan aliran kebangsaan. Saya tidak faham kerana apa setelah 52 tahun merdeka kita masih mengekalkan sisten pecah & perintah yang diamalkan penjajah. Mengapa kita masih mengekalkan sekolah kebangsaan aliran lain sednagkan kita adalah rakyat Malaysia.

Daripada mengekalkan sistem pengasingan saperti yang diamalkan sekarang, mengapa tidak diujudkan satu sistem persekolahan yang menggunapakai bahasa Malaysia sebagai bahasa perantaraan.Ini tidak bermakna kita menafikan hak bangsa lain. Sebaliknya saya sarankan supaya bahasa-bahasa utama lain saperti bahasa Cina, Tamil dijadikan sebagai matapelajaran pilihan bagi pelajar-pelajar kita. Malahan pelajar-pelajar Melayu sewajarnya digalakkan mengambil matapelajaran bahasa lain ini sebagai pilihan mereka. Dengan cara ini, proses integrasi dan perpaduan kaum akan lebih segera tercapai.

3. Kita menyedari akan peri pentingnya bahasa Inggeris. Bagi tujuan itu, pengajaran mata pelajaran bahasa Inggeris perllu dipertingkatkan. Saya sarankan supaya pengajaran bahasa inggeris dijadikan matapelajaran pilihan wajib dan dipertingkatkan dengan pengajian kesusasteraan inggeris.

Saya mengharapkan keputusan kabinet akan membawa satu sinar baru kepada memartabatkan dan mengembalikan maruah bahasa Melayu sebagai bahasa ilmu dan pemacu ketamadunan gemilang.

*****************

I got the article from here.

Unsurprisingly, the author received nagative comments.One of them is (quoted) :

"Tuan membandingkan Filipina tetapi kenapa tuan tak membandingkan dengan INDIA yg ramai fasih bahasa inggeris dan mengeksport ramai PAKAR MATEMATIK,IT dan TEKNOLOGI ke seluruh DUNIA??"

He's got a point....Here's another one:

"Bercakap tentang Jepun......rakyatnya bertungkus lumus mempelajari bahasa Inggeris dan menterjemahkan ilmu-ilmu sains dan teknologi ke dalam bahasa Jepun.....sekarang mereka boleh mendabik dada.....tanpa sepatah pun tahu bahasa Inggeris. Ini adalah kerana terjemahan ilmu mereka terlampau banyak hasil usaha orang terdahulu."

Wow,I never tought of that before...

Nevertheless, I do hope the goverment will reconsider their desicion and re-think about the whole policy.I'm sure the goverment are made up for people that are calliber in their duty and get out and hear the people's thoughts.

Meanwhile, cast your vote on "Back t0 BM" in http://chedet.co.cc/chedetblog/

Student Card

2009-07-10T21:17:00.000-07:00

Finally, our school has reached to it's senses and decided to do something for our students. A student card.-The most essential for all students to show their identity in the school.

Before this, we have to make use of what we had. Whenever we wanted some student card discount, we use our Library Card which is more or less the same as a Manilla Card that is crudely designed. About the same as wearing a Tesco suit to the Prom.Works, but what's the point?

Apparently the student card has an expiry date. I mean sure, there's some sense on having an expiry date, but what about us Form 5's??? There's 4 more months till we graduate, we seldom watch movies cause we have SPM coming, so what is the relevance for us to have a student card??

As a sounvenir??? Ohhh..sure. But wait, let me quote what is stated at the back of the card:

3) Pelajar yang berhenti sekolah atau bertukar sekolah perlu menyerahkan kad pelajar kepada pihak sekolah.

Bummer. =.=' Now I'm curious why do they need our cards back. We paid Rm4 for the thing, and we don't expect the money to come back to us cause the Adminstators are living on a different time zone than us.

" The reason we need to take back the card is to ensure that no one will misuse the card after they leave school".

Sure, you can say that. Then what's the expiry date for?? I know, a cheap joke.

5 Thoughts of the Week XI

With all due respect Michael,I still think Neil Armstrong is the one who invented "Moonwalk".

Wohoo!! My exam results was better than I expected.I got 3rd!!! TQ Lord.

But now I have a coming July test...in 2 more weeks...=.=

YES!!! My Cristiano Ronaldo in FIFA07 gets his Mercurial Vapour V!!

My favourite song: Billie Jean. At least there's some recognition from my peers who had no taste in music.

Stereotypes

2009-07-01T01:54:00.000-07:00

What are stereotypes anyway?I have none of a clue of it actually.Until I finally found out itis a type of logical oversimplification in which all the members of a class or set are considered to be definable by an easily distinguishable set of characteristics(Wikipedia)". Darn it,I know it's quite a hard thing to comprehend.But hey, it's Wikipedia,you get what you ask for.

In my opinion,it is basically labeling someone as someone(or something) which they are not.We stereotype someone simply because they may posses some characteristics which are unique to that group of people.(e.g. Who spikes his hair until it touches the sky and put on loud Cantonese Pop music? "Ah Beng"s.)No matter how you look at it, not ANYONE of us fits into ANY stereotypes.

Not all Americans eat burgers and hold a Cola on the other hand,not all Chinese are hardworking,not all Malays wear black shirts and "shuffle" in Queensbay Mall skating ring,not all PFS students are arrogant(I hope not),not all Heng EE students are well-discipline and not all SMK (insert any Malay VIP name here) students are gangsters.If anyone of you who are reading this have or had such stereotypes to those people,you can't be blamed.I too have my own stereotypes; I used to think girls think more of their outfit then their well being till I saw this person on American Idol.

In essence,we all are bound to stereotype a person whether we realize it or not.Look at any teenage girls who have short hair,you might think they are from PCGHS or PTHS,but there are some girls in my school who do have short hair too. We can't judge a book by it's cover.

(And many people still wonder why FHM is still doing great in the economic crisis)

Which brings to me to my next point,WHY STEREOTYP-ING A PERSON IS BAD.Firstly,our words are as sharp as a sword.It can build relationships or destroy them in seconds.It helps to grow a person or ruin their life.You can even try a experiment if you want,although you might not want to bear the consequences.Pick someone dear to you,tell him/her something reguarly.Let's say "you can't do anything right in your life!"Wait for a few more years, I'm sure he or she "can't do anything right in his/her life".

There was a story of a father who had 2 daugthers.One of them was in her college's dean's list;while the other just got her first jail sentence.Now,what might have cause this?Turns out the girl who had her 1st jail sentence always got sinister remarks from her fathers,and then she started believing it herself,she initially just hang out with gangsters,then it went on to shoplifting then finally, her 6x6 jail cell. This my friend,is the power of our tougue.

(maybe not)

Besides cursing someone over one's life.Stereotyping had led to many controversies and chaoticincidents that has shocked the world.One them is the Rwanda Genocide,The "Tutsi" who fought with the "Hutu"in the Rwandan Civil War.The war gave rise to the term Hutu Power and this led to ethic tensions as The Tutsi intended to enslave the Hutu and rule over the country as the prime race.As the result,thousands and thoudsand of people have died not only from the genocide itself, but from epidemic diseases caught in Refugee camps and AIDS.Heck,there's even a movie about it.

(Are you smarter than a 5th grader?Yeah?Then guess what make the dip?)

Not only that, Iranians have complained about the movie "300"'s depiction of the Syrians as "decadent, sexually flamboyant and evil in contrast to the noble Greeks".

(I don't intend to go to bed to you,but the producers made me do this)

Nevertheless,"We are made in the image of God".So that disqualifies us as someone who has authority to judge people,cause we all the same.We may have different skin colour,preferences,stand on politics or choosing either Adam Lamber or Kris Allen but we all are human beings in the end.Inside;and outside.Besides,God will do the judging when the time comes.In the meantime,let's witness miracles happen on Wimbledon.

(Or maybe not)

Collection of resume blunders

2009-06-19T20:50:00.000-07:00

From: Readers Digest, June 2009

"Dear Sir or Madman":

"I am sure you have looked through several resumes with the same information about work experience,education,and references.I am not going to give you any of that stuff."

"I would love to interview for the position of (insert job title here).If you grant me an interview of (insert job title here),I feel confident you'll see why I'm the right person for the job." "My mother delivered me without anesthesia so I have an IQ of 146 and therefore can learn anything."

"I enjoy working closely with customers,and my pleasant demeanor helps them feel comfortable and relaxed- not afraid.""I realize that my total lack of appropriate experience may concern those considering me for employment." But "I have integrity,so I will not steal office supplies and take them home."

"Please don't regard my 14 position as job-hopping.I never once quit a job." "They stopped paying me". "In my next life,I will be a professional backup dancer or a rabbi," but for now "I am attacking my resume for you to review." "I realize that my resume is no longer exemplary thanks to my family destroying the computer file." Nevertheless, "here are my qualifications for you to overlook."

'Thank you for your considerations.Hope to hear from you shorty!"

Sincerely,

Hapless Job Seeker

It was only a Dream

2009-06-12T07:14:00.000-07:00

Wrote this poem during exam.I finished Sivik paper early by 1 hour.So, I used that free time to pen this poem.Do comment on any mistakes,I'll be glad to get some advice also. :)

It was only a Dream...

It was only a dream,
of you leaning next to me;
Talking about the moments we had,
staring upon the fireplace.

How great that fire was!
With such warmth and tender,
no tundra for us to wept forever,
If only it was a reality.

It was only a dream,
that picture we took together,
and that complexion of yours,
white as show and full of joy,
but ever so shy,
tempting the hardest of steel,
to melt away in compassion.

It was only a dream,
of that rainy day I remembered,
so chilly yet so warm,
something an eternity will I not find,
until the answer was resting by my shoulder,
and what a moment was that I ponder.

How great that moment it had to be,
until I finally realized,
it probably was never meant to be;
Because it was only a dream,
but one I will always cherish,
till the last of my breath.

Smile

2009-06-09T01:09:00.000-07:00

I know you are very self-conscious(Am i??? Yes you are!)

Yes or no?? Haha....it's rhetorical...

Walking our own daily lives....

But, I have something important to give to you...

You MUST use it whenever you can...

5 Thoughts of the Week VII

2009-05-31T16:57:00.000-07:00

I had the best shopping trip in Tesco yesterday!!!

1st: CF camp, 2nd: Training Camp I 3rd: Scrabble-That pretty much sums up my priorities in life.

There's also the Hari Kooperasi Day( Essentially Canteen Day,except you can't invite people...)

I'll probably do something with my school books...probably

Haiz....Manchester United,not so united anymore.....

Savage Garden - To the Moon and Back

2009-05-31T02:28:00.000-07:00

I heard this song while I was on the way home.I listened to it twice and I now I'm addicted to the song.Heard of Savage Garden?They were the ones that sang "Truly,Madly,Deeply".Don't know?That means you haven't lived long enough.

Verse 1

She's taking her time making up
The reasons
To justify all the hurt inside
Guess she knows from the smile
And the look in their eyes
Everyone's got a theory about the
Bitter one
They're saying mama never loved
Her much
And daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from
Human affection
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now shes waiting for the right
Kind of pilot to come
(And she'll say to him)
She's saying

Chorus

I would fly to the moon and back if
You'll be
If you'll be my baby
Got a ticket for a world where we
Belong
So would you be my baby

Verse 2
She can't remember a time when she
Felt needed
If love was red then she was colour
Blind
All her friends they've been tried for
Treason
And crimes that were never defined
Shes saying love is like a barren
Place
And reaching out for human faith is
Is like a journey I just don't have a
Map for
So baby's gonna take a dive and
Push the shift to overdrive
Send a signal that shes hanging
All her hopes on the stars
(What a pleasant dream)
Just saying

(Chorus)

Hold on hold on

Mama never loved her much
And daddy never keeps in touch
That's why she shies away from
Human affection
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now shes waiting for the right
Kind of pilot to come
(And she'll say to him)
Just saying

(Chorus)

My exams so far? Good,but could better for SPM....

If Cristiano Ronaldo is going to Real Madrid,hope you will flop there like Beckham. ;P

Champions League!!! Glory glory Man United!!!!

Is there a way I can having a good conversation with you,without any shyness???

All the best in your final week of exams.(If you finished already,don't bother looking XD)Nah,may you get good results!!

New ManU jerseys??

2009-05-23T07:30:00.000-07:00

I was browsing through modifications files for my FIFA 07 game when I noticed one section with the name "09/10 kits".Naturally,I'm curious.

Turns out there were a handful of them.There is the new Chelsea kit which debuted in Chelsea's last week's win against Blackburn.It looks horrible in my opinion.(I'm not saying this because I hate them.)

(Dumb,Dumber and Dumbest,in any order)

Then there's also the Liverpool kit.Well,at least Rafa as something worthy to brag about now.This is the rumoured away kit with a "classy black, red and gold affair"

(The only reason if I'll ever buy a Kop jersey)

And *drumrolls please....

(Eww..)

Yeap,that's right.It would probably the kit Ronaldo will be wearing in football matches.At least the white stipes matches his Mercurial Vapour V.

There's also the away kit,note the Saudi Telecom wording.They are the Red Devils sponsors for next seasons.

(Show off your chest hair by untying the knots)

If you think the designs looks so....retro,it is.The kit is supposed to be based on a previous away kit.

(Spot the difference?)

However,there's also another variation of the new kits.I even have the template of the jersey for my game.

(Home and Away.The name is probably the only way for this shirt to sell high)

Please Lord,at least give us that variation instead of the Kindergarden uniform before that.We really need Malcolm Glazer to clear of their debts before the Red Devils go to hell.Literally.

How's your exams?

2009-05-22T01:11:00.000-07:00

My science's subjects are finally over!Today we just completed Add Maths paper1 and paper2.I'll "probably" post out all my results if it's "decent" enough. =.=

Anyway, I stopped myself from using the computer during my studies.Yay, Thank you Lord for helping me resist tempatations.That's why I like 1 Corinthians 10:13

Anyway,just to post something out for the sake of it.I recently bought another Rubik's cube.This one is "Made-in-China"; but is surprisingly nice to play around with it.It's very smooth to turn.

I bought that to compliment this:

Yeap,I got it from Wei Lun.And yes,I am able to solve it after I learned the formula from my friends.And after that,we tried to do different patterns with it.

(Completed both,now spot the Toy's-R-Us brand and the former melamine country's product.)

Pattern No.1(Square in a square)

Pattern no.2(Five's and Four's)

Pattern no."1 + 2"9(Five's and Four's and a freaking square to spoil it) =.='

And there's also Pattern no.3( The "L" word) XD

Well, I think that's all.........

(XD)

I also have a Piramix which is essentially a rubik's cube,only it's a pyramid(hence the name).It's easier to do cause if you did study your Form 3 maths,it has only 4 surfaces while a cube has 6 surfaces.

All the best in your exams!!!(I don't believe in luck)

5 Thoughts of the Week V

2009-05-16T21:24:00.000-07:00

MANCHESTER UNITED ARE CROWNED PREMIER LEAGUES CHAMPIONS FOR THE 3RD TIME IN A ROW!!(But then a certain spaniard in Liverpool is still thinking they're the best....who's the one with the EPL,World Club Cup and Leagues Cup??) :P

Mid-Year Exams is tomorrow....

2 more weeks to CF camp!

Plurk is Fun! But sometimes I can't login for some reasons....often it won't just load.

Looks like I won't be able to use my computer for some time....

A show worth missing the train!

2009-05-13T04:42:00.000-07:00

More than 200 dancers were performing their version of "Do Re Mi", in the Central Station of Antwerp. with just 2 rehearsals they created this amazing stunt! Those 4 fantastic minutes started the 23 of march 2009, 08:00 AM. It is a promotion stunt for a Belgian television program, where they are looking for someone to play the leading role, in the musical of "The Sound of Music".
