And here is the lyric:

Here in My Home

Verse 1
Hold on brother hold on
The road is long. We’re on stony ground
But I’m strong. You ain’t heavy

Verse 2
Oh there’s a misspoken truth that lies
Colors don’t bind, oh no.
What do they know? They speak falsely.

Chorus
Here in my home
I’ll tell you what its all about
There’s just one hope here in my heart
One love undivided
That’s what it’s all about
Please won’t you fall in one by one by one with me?

Verse 3
Push back sister won't you push back?
L0ve won't wait. Just keep pushing on.
Yes I'm strong. You ain't heavy

Verse 4
Oh don't you worry about that...
What we have shadows can't deny
Don't you know it's now or never?

RAHMAN prophecy

2008-07-12T02:47:00.002+08:00

Just a few days ago, Dato' Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi have named the date he is gonna retire, and that is in the year 2010 June. Besides that, he had also named his successor the Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak as the 6th Prime Minister of Malaysia.

I recall that when I was in primary school, a teacher of mine chatted with us about politics. And soon she mentioned, the RAHMAN prophecy. It is never clear of the source, but the prophecy is 83% complete. The RAHMAN prophecy holds the clue of the next Prime Minister.

A table of the past and present Prime Mnisters

Here is what it means:

R - Rahman (Y.T.M Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj the 1st Prime Minister)

A - Abdul Razak (Tun Abdul Razak bin Haji Dato' Hussein the 2nd Prime Minister)

H - Hussein (Tun Hussein bin Dato' Onn the 3rd Prime Minister)

M - Mahathir (Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad the 4th Prime Minister)

A - Abdullah Badawi (Dato' Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi the present Prime Minister)

N - ??? (The future Prime Minister)

Now that Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak is named, maybe the prophecy will be complete? And what happens next? There were no follow ups to this prophecy, and it ends till the 'N'.

I use to believe in prophecies, magic, powers, supernaturals and even mythological creatures. But when I slowly grew up, they don't make sence anymore. Now that Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak is going to be the Prime Minister, maybe some prophecies are true?

Best Friend fight in REAL LIFE!!!

2008-07-09T15:18:00.006+08:00

A huge friend fight in 5SB4 happened this morning. I can't recall when was the last time we ever fight.Anyway, here's the story goes:

It all started during the second last period, Me and Yeh Chern are discussing the Add Math project due on Friday. Then he came over asking me what is this for etc. and i answered was that it is a raw information from the net and saying that he does not need it since that he decided to copy from others. Am I wrong to say that he was copying other's? OK, maybe I was hot at that time. Please lar, who wouldn't be? Short of time, not cooperative and rebelling. I was not solely his fault also, he has the rights to be angry at me. But then again, had he tried to wear my shoes? When I was cooled down, he didn't even want to listen. FINE!!! Do it your way...

Just a reminder, I don't get angry for nothing! I'm not mad! I get angry for purposes.

I am the leader of an Add Math project team. The task was given to us last 3 weeks ago, and such the deadline is this Friday!!! For the first and the second week, I was having a headache getting a retort stand, so I decided to make one. Thanks to the 'HELPFUL' teacher. So, first and second week, gone. Third week, finished the data gathering on Monday and Tuesday. Starting discussion on Wednesday, which is today!!! Planned held the discussion during English, Chemistry and Chinese period. But the Chinese and Chemistry teacher make it. Left with 2 empty English periods. Fine... That should at least get the Introduction part done.

I gathered information from the net during Tuesday noon, and print them out. Preparing for the discussion. Then DT told me that he has a sample project and he is going to do his by referring to it. Fine... Then I only know this morning that he decided not to share with us and to do his on his own. So, I was angry all morning, a few guys should be able to tell. So this changes everything, those who wants to discuss, you are welcome. If not then no need lor.

During a lesson (can't remember which lesson), Wai Kay asked me: "What about the Add Math project?" I told him that I'm gonna discuss the introduction part with Yeh Chern during the English period, you can join us. Or you follow the others and copy the project from others. So, the only reply he gave me was that he is going get an example from Zhong Ven. Naturally, I would taught that he chooses to not join us right?

SO during the English period, I didn't call for him (since I saw him copying from a sample copy). And this is where the conflict begins. He came over to Yeh Chern's table, seeing that we have a different note, he started questioning. And the story resumes to the top ^

Please lar... I am the leader k? You don't finish it I'm gonna get it k? And don't always think that you are the only one with conflicts and problems in YOUR LIFE!!! I have mine too... Just that I'm hiding them away. If I am to 'show it' on my face. My face would be black everyday! Please wear other's shoes before shouting at people!!!

You think I don't want to help you?

Now, before finding another reason to be mad at me. Remember... Why am I the leader? Why do I think such ways? Have you done your part as a 'TEAM'?

NOW If you are in my place... what will you do?

Happy Birthday ntv7!!!

2008-07-07T21:05:00.005+08:00

Guess whose birthday is it?

Actually is not who,
but WHAT.

Today is ntv7 10th Birthday!!!

Sorry, ntv7 I can't get you this

or this

BUT
I can give you THIS

Happy Birthday ntv7!!!
and thanks for all the great movies in these 10 years!!
keep it up

SMK Bukit Jambul Canteen Day

2008-07-06T16:05:00.005+08:00

Earlier post, I said that I'm going to the SMK Bukit Jambul

for the food fair/canteen day

Well, here are some pictures to tell the story. Actually, there are not much of pictures, cause the place was like so dark and I'm running around buying stuff. xD

The reason I'm there, the RM20 coupon my dad bought... Later I went to buy another RM10, but Chiu Tsann fight to pay for it, What the?

When for a walk around the school with Esther, before buying anything for breakfast. When pass each stall, check out the food, surprisingly the food there is not bad, just one thing that's disturbing. Did they sell roast chicker or black chicken? xD there was like a mountain of burnt chicken... xD

Went to the buildings, there are also stalls there. But unlike the food stalls, the game stall and bank stall is located further in the compound. ??? Banks? what are they doing here? Promoting their saving plans? Then there is the environmental display, saying that what are the cause and effects of global warming. There is a particular picture that caught my attention.

It's true alright, but I still see people using plain white (not scribbled) paper made into paper balls and throw around

They even give out CDs about the environment

Esther don't want it, so I guess it follows me home?

Further on, there are even display of animals! What does Food fair / canteen day have got to do with animals? There is a special breed of cat, monkey, eagle and 2 snakes.

Sad, lonely, little monkey... This is what we humans do. For entertainment, these creatures are caged!!!

The Red Eagle!!! I was like surprised, What is an eagle doing in a cage? An eagle is a predator, it needs to roam free like other birds!!!

After all that walking, finally we decided to grab something to eat. First stop, Chiu Tsann's stall, bought 2 scoop of mash potatoes (RM2) and a cup of chicken (RM1). Find a place to sit and only we noticed that the mash potato is weird, nothing like the KFC mash potato... Sorry Caryn.

Even sitting under the fan gives me the feeling of being in a hot oven. Bought 2 cincau (RM4). Then Esther wants to try the shave ice. When to the stall, ordered, and wait. Guess how long did I waited? Half an hour!!! I ordered only 2 drinks (RM6)! just imagine and it wasn't worthy the time. Ordered a strawberry flavour and a chocolate flavoured shave ice. The strawberry came first, when my chocolate order is ready, my strawberry drink was half way finished. Luckily I bought a cup of fries (RM1) while I was waiting.

When back to join Esther, I noticed the waffles (opposite of our sitting position) are ready. Ordered one with chocolate ice cream. Then I bought lekor (RM2). For the record, I don't like waffles, so it was for Esther, and this is what's left after she is done with it.

It's not finish!! and it cost me RM4!! too bad, I can't finish hers, cause I was eating

Chicken chop (RM8). muahahaha...

Guess what happened when I was eating? Suddenly a malay lady came to our table and ask Chiu Tsann. lady: "Who is he?" Chiu Tsann: "My bf" Then I looked up, holy.... It was Cikgu Hafizah!!! I was KOed, first person from CLHS to know. haiz... Looks like I can't avoid it forever...

Then, I spend the last RM2 to buy Chiu Tsann a drink. Actually, I didn't actually buy her, cause it was her money, It's more like I helped her buy it.

After eating, back to walking. Finding something for Chiu Tsann to spend on, cause she haven't even spend any of her coupons. Sadly, she had a flu and sore throat, can't simply buy stuff. In the end, she bought some fast food from A&W and satays for his brother. How thoughtful... xD

Pony... saw the horse while we are about to go home. Can you believe it? They get a horse for the food fair!! Poor horse, being rided all day.

When we were outside the school, waiting for Chiu Tsann's dad to fetch us. I saw this...

can't see it right? Check the picture below

Its the banner for the canteen day event! What the... It's so small, how do you aspect anybody to see it? Plus, the net was so big... xD

A very special thanks to Chiu Tsann for inviting me there the first place. And Esther for accompanying me finish off the coupons.

Esther being shy... xD Thanks again Esther...

I guess that ends the day... I thought it would be boring at first, but it turned out fun =)

Adrenaline week

2008-07-04T23:12:00.002+08:00

It's a busy week indeed, I've not even started studying and etc. I'm still going online daily!

I've not finish my add math and modern math homework since the competition. Argh... This is procrastination... And this can ruined me!!! i need to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Rushing to complete 5 projects is not an easy task I tell you!!! Without the knowledge to do it, How can it be done in 1 day?? Thanks again to lazy teacher, I had an adrenaline rush all weekend rushing for the projects. haiz... Searching for data, searching for this and that. Getting the information needed is one thing and writing the report is another thing.

Well, At least I have a little something to look forward to this weekend. Because there are simply so many events I would like to participate

Heng Ee concert
Phing Hwa Concert
CLHS Kadet Pertahanan Awam Gathering
CLHS singing competition
and the one I'm going, SMK Bukit Jambul's food fair

I'm going because my girl is there to help the school guard a store. But later she said that she needs not company, so my quest to look for somebody to accompany me started

My dad suggested Julin and Shan Hui, but Shan Hui definitely wouldn't wanna go.
So the list started with

Julin
(skipped Shan Hui cause she would definitely don't wanna go)
Then, Violette
Chai Zhen
Jing Yun
Esther

I was worrying I have to walk alone, but after all that trouble Esther agreed in going. And there we are meeting at 8am tomorrow. What the? so early... nvm lar... go there eat breakfast, see my girl then balik lor

Lazy teacher...

2008-07-02T17:30:00.002+08:00

The occupation 'Teacher' is originated from teach.

As we know it, teacher holds an important role for the future generations. Students socialize with teachers for 6 hours a day. Teachers are the students example or role model. However, no humans are perfect. That is the solid fact, but can't you just try to be what you should be? You are wearing the title of 'Teacher'!

You don't receive that pay to sit in an air conditioned room, search illegal programs, watch movie series during school hours and sleep while you are suppose to avoid student from cheating during exams!!! Even so, do it secretly. Change yourself lar... Don't get students in trouble. You want to rot? Rot alone!!!

Students goes to school for knowledge. (well, maybe some does not these days) I do not attend extra class and pay extra money, so that you can waste my time and leech from ME!!! Do you know I have tuition on the following hour? My schedule is packed. I expect to learn something from You!!! I have heard rumors that you are worthless,

but I choose to believe you

Cause the school will not assign a lazy-bone to be the only IT teacher in school. And there you go... You have to make me disrespect you. You are not worthy of my respect. I do want an A1 in my SPM for IT. But what did I learn from you? Online is FUN? XunLei 5 is used for downloading movies? Unlocker is useful? What I need to know is how to program using Visual Basic, How to use Flash and etc. In the end, I have to read from the disc myself. Why don't I just buy the textbook elsewhere and read myself?

Thanks again to the vice principal for stating the rule that "student cannot take extra subjects in the SPM if the student didn't learn it from the school." I bet the tuition centres are better than you. They may charge more, but its worthy.

Now? The government officials are coming within this week. And you have not teach us a single thing! Like how to create a multimedia program? How to design a database using Microsoft Access? I have no knowledge in it at all!!! You think Theong Siang and that A class guy get A1 and A2 because you are a good teacher? NOOO!!!! It's because they have the initiative to learn themselve and therefore they themselve have the knowledge without your help!!! You might as well disappear since you did not teach as a 'teacher' at all.

I really hope you are reading this. Please... Do something (Now I see why CLHS students never score A1 in IT [except theong siang])

A thought to keep in mind...

2008-07-01T17:55:00.001+08:00

A holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said, 'Lord,
I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like.'?

The Lord led the holy man to two doors.?

He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in. In the middle of the room was a large round table. In the middle of the table was
a large?
pot of stew, which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water.?

The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly. They appeared to be famished. They were holding spoons with very long handles that were strapped to their arms and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful. But because the handle was longer
than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths.?

The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering.?

The Lord said, 'You have seen Hell.'?

They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one. There was the large round table with the large pot of?
stew which made the holy man's mouth water. The people! were equipped with the same long-handled spoons, but
here the people were well nourished and plump, laughing and talking. The holy man said, 'I don't understand.'?

It is simple,' said the Lord. 'It requires but one skill. You see they have learned to feed eachother, while the greedy think only of themselves.'?

When Jesus died on the cross, he was thinking of
you. Its estimated 93% won't forward this. If you are one of the 7% who will, forward this with the title '7%'.?

Moral of the story: Share what you have and you shall receive the kindness you gave.

KDU technology week report

2008-06-28T22:37:00.008+08:00

Remember my previous post I announced that i'm skipping school for the KDU technology fair?

Yup... It ended. Here is a little concept I get from the fair.

I was looking forward for the event before it. But when I'm there, I'm very very disappointed. Then after the event, I guess its alright...

Here are some details during the Game Design Workshop with pics =)

First Day
We went to school first that day, and planned to leave school at 8am cause it starts at 9am and we would have to calculate the traffic. So we took off at 8am, but later the time was reschedule again due to the rain.. Does it have to be today? haiz... never mind, our workshop is indoor xD

Reached there and we only saw a few people around. Then we discovered Ewe Chuan and Ding Shen sitting by the bench. Played a game.. sweat lerh? xD To kill time, you can do almost anything!!!

Registered at the booth and went into the computer lab. Now, I'll let the pictures do the talking (with some descriptions of course)

The speaker Joshua. A lecturer in KDU

Not long after, a guy came in and informed Joshua that some big people is coming to take a look.

The 'big gun' is the one on the right.

Funny thing was everybody clapped their hands and stood up to invite him when he entered. I was surprised. Is there such need? But to follow the crowd, I joined them as well. xD

Started using the computer there to 'design our game' using www.popfly.com

There sure are many computers in the lab. No wonder the line was MEGA laggy

Besides the workshop, there are others workshop in the process too. And guess what? there is an IT fair on the ground floor.

I think these are students from KDU presenting their laptops, cause on the next day there are rewards for the best booth

Looks like I'm not the only one who noticed the exhibition

While waiting for CHiang Teik's mum, we camwhored.

The sporting models xD

Guess what? after Chiang Teik's mum came. I went back to school, cause that's the only transport I have to go home. But it was an hour early before school dismiss. SO I entered the class... sweat lerh? got permission to ponteng I still enter class. xD

Second Day,
same as the first day, went to school first. But Bernard was looking for me before class starts. Guess what? Chiang Teik and Boon Hui haven't arrive!!! How are we gonna go to the workshop? All we can do was waited. And Chiang Teik did not enter class cause he can't wake up. Deep eh? Actually he was up until 4am trying to master popfly.

When we enter the lab, the computer are still laggy like the first day. Everyone was intense, cause from 9am, it's a competition! We try and try and try to load our game. We are able to do so for the first hour. But after that, every computer shows an error like this:

The connection has timed out? What does that suppose to mean?

Before this, we are only facing the browser error, which requires the user to close the browser!!! closing it!!! all work unsave!!! GONE!!! I tried installing Mozilla Firefox 3, but its only a limited account. So I downloaded the portable version. Still the error continues... We complained and complained...

Then only they transfer us to the internet lab here...

A pic from Alvin Ng's blog. Paiseh ar Alvin...
Forgot to take a pic of the lab

To our surprise, the line here is way better. So another theory proven:
Internet line provided for students = lame / laggy
Internet line charged = top condition

Without further delays, we started our work. Erm... Chiang Teik started our work, cause they only allow 2 person use a computer. And how does 2 person share a computer?

Chiang Teik finding entertainment during work (notice the headset?)

Quit moving around will ya?

Guess who is next to us?

Even with the quick internet line, we are unable to save the game!!! what the heck? that's why i don't trust MSN. After the competition, ate lunch. the lunch was fried rice with a fried egg! Not enough, so i buy extra rice, the food there is quite nice... But I went home with a sore throat. At the canteen, we saw some creepy looking people walking about. What I meant by creepy is that they put 'blood' and 'ghost powder' all over them. Then they are like the DJs announcing that, that day is SUPERNATURAL DAY!!! creepy... After lunch, went up another room...

another pic from Alvin Ng's blog. muahahah... pic stealer

Well, we went up early, so we camwhored...

check out the trio....

Now here is a the same pic, just taken using Alvin's camera instead of my hp
results: A phone's camera can never outmatch a professional camera

wuuu... shiny trophies...

Not long after Mr. Yeap's arrival, the lady talks. Showing us some presentation introducing KDU, then she announce the winners...

the confusion, cause they are the champion!!! not the 2nd runner up. She even admitted it was a human error. xD

Prize giving...

Picture taking...

And group picture taking...

More group pictures...

And the prize winners...

Neat eh? I'm also in it. All thanks to Chiang Teik, but we still think that if the line is not laggy. We can make it way better....

picture of our RM 300 winners (both RM300)
haiz... I forgot to take a pic like this with Chiang Teik

You can play the game Alvin and Pheng Kern designed during the competition here

Brought this baby home...
Thanks Chiang Teik...

Wonderful Monday indeed...

2008-06-23T21:32:00.005+08:00

A beautiful saturday

2008-06-21T23:24:00.002+08:00

No need to meet the teacher, no activities, no homework (but studies still remains). Most of all there are many events that I'm interested to go today. haiz... too bad i dunno know the ninja technique 'Kage bunshi no jutsu'

If not I shall be able to make it to all these places. Places I would like to go:

~ School to record what the Lagger has to say to each parents
~ 爱心大厦义卖会
~ 圣心义卖会
~ USM science fair (which I made it there)
~ Taekwondo tournament

I just can't believe they are so many events lately. For example:

~ KDU Technology fair next tuesday and wednesday
~ SMK Bukit Jambul food fair 6/7/2008
~ Pu Ti food fair 29/6/2008
~ I'm the Survivor program (still can't get my hands on the application form yet!! ARGH.....)

I'm definite got not enough time ｔｏ study already. And I'm still going to 'activities'? What am I thinking? I really don't feel like studying! I need somebody that can control me, force me to study willingly, I need a gf!!! xD not advertising, just speaking out what I've been keeping to myself all the time.

Went to USM this noon from 3.30pm to 6pm, even tough the agreed time was 4pm, I made it at 3.30pm because my dad is busy later. I was half an hour early! Bo huat... Entered the Muzium dan Pameran Tunku Fauziah and looked everywhere of the place. But I felt something awkward. There are no booths here! It's a science fair right? I thought students are suppose to stand by their table presenting their project. Thinking of that, there are no students too. Am I in the wrong place? Went outside and take a look, my eyes definitely did not betrayed me. The spellings are identical. Went in, It's just like a museum, things behind glasses and descriptions of them. I'm feeling stupid by the moment. Went to the other end, guess what? I only saw stupid paintings. I was like regretting I still got 2 hours and I'm suppose to stare at paintings? I hate art galleries!!!

Then I see people going up the stairs, but those are children. Maybe there's a nursery up there? If its actually a nursery after I've gone up there, then I'm like KOed big ko ko is here. xD but standing here doesn't solve the mystery. So I went up the stairs. Thank god, I'm in the right place. Come to think of it, why didn't I just open my heavy mouth and ask? xD so stupid of me.

Walked around the booths, reading their reports. Then I saw an entry from my school. WTH? It's last year's project! The one done by form six students. I was like disappointed. Some projects done by other group are very simple and already exist and some are just impossible and a waste of money. Later, I went to check if Julin has arrived, that's when I met Mr. Chong there. Of all places... haiz... I guess it can't be helped if he is the teacher on duty to watch over our school's project member - Adam Wong Eu Heng. (A bigger surprise)

Talked to Mr. Chong about SPBT activities. Then Julin showed up, guess what? she called Mr. Chong uncle. xD I was laughing in my heart. He is only in his early 30s xD She even thought that Mr. Chong is my dad. But Julin is not the only person. Adam and the other guy from CLHS Butterworth too asked me the same question. Escaped from Mr. Chong and went upstairs with Julin.

I know she really looked forward to it and she planned to come on Friday but postponed her trip because I can't make it. Yet again, I never imagine she came loaded with 'bullets'. She 'shot dead' all the exhibitors, except for the CLHS Butterworth's they responded to her every question with satisfying answers. But for the Al Mashor (Perempuan), the form 3 girls are totally beyond the dead. xD The exhibitors are presenting the project in a senior's place, naturally she did not even experienced the project herself. So she didn't know the process and the principle of the project. Besides the project was about 'Solar Oven', using convex lens to diverge the sunlight into the chamber to cook the food. Which is a form 4 syllabus. Julin asked every single details until both of the exhibitors are unable to answer. But I still pity the guys from MSRM, they were about to take their leave about 5.25pm. The exhibitor was not clear with his words and ended up in a confusion. The teachers were sitting by the side waiting for the 'customer' to leave. She totally have no knowledge about F1.

Actually she didn't asked question so that they will feel embarrassed. She asked so that she can understand the project better, during the process it'll definitely help the exhibitors to present better in the future. We ended up learning a lot of things today. Glad that I make it. Guess that's about it. =)

Death

2008-06-21T01:29:00.004+08:00

Death is a part of life. It is the end of ones journey, quest or destiny in life. Death is unavoidable, death is painful and sorrowful. However, everyone MUST go through this process. Those that doesn’t are known as god. Only becoming god you shall escape from such suffering.

There are multiple types and of death. There are those who can’t wait to die and just end their lives right here right now (suicide cases), there are the ones that have lived long enough to pick a fight to die (gangsters), some who would like to put their life on the line for something useless (illegal racing, drugs and etc), those whose time is up (old age) and leave the world, some who leaves the world painfully (sickness) and the most scariest of them all… SUDDEN DEATH!!! You are not warned not knowing that what is going to happen next. Just like the incident of the Tsunami the hit Malaysia on the 24th of December 2004. Countless of lives are lost during that few minutes. Being washed away, smashed by the force of the waves and etc. They do not wish for that and definitely they never thought a trip to the beach for a picnic can end up disastrous. Not knowing that such an enormous wave can happen after a small earthquake (felt in Malaysia). But still, we have to face it. As it is the cycle of life, when you are born, you are destined to die at some point of your live, nobody lives forever except god.

Just like the other day, after school I was waiting for the uncle on the motorcycle that sells candy, comics, magazines, trading cards and etc waiting for his arrival so that i can buy some sweets that I have missed over the holidays. But since school started, He never showed up. I ask a few friends of mine, did he get another job? Where is he? I need to buy some candy, if not Esther will have a charcoal face. (just kidding, not like she is that ‘small gas’) Then I was told that: “If you see him, you are in big trouble, because he passed away.”

I was like: “WHAT? Don’t say other people like that lar. He had never crossed your path, why would you curse him?”

Then another guy told me that he saw in the article that he died in an accident during the holidays. It is even on the news. I stared at them for a while, then I said: “If that is true then I can’t buy candy from him anymore?” cause only he had that type of sweet, I’ve never spotted such candy sold anywhere else. It was just like yesterday that I bought his candy and now no more, forever gone, even his shady spot is parked by another uncle now. He died in an accident during the holidays! How? It is so sudden, luckily I’m barely know him.

Another friend of mine, Benjamin. His dog just passed away a few days ago. According to him it was just going to sleep, then the next thing they knew is, it does not wake. And its not breathing anymore. His dog was very obedient and she lived with them for many years now. I barely know the dog, but at least I know it does a good job, cause it always bark at me when I'm near his house xD Death is unavoidable, no matter to human or animal.

I took a picture of this lizard just now when I was walking the dogs. A road kill!

Life is precious, so live meaningfully and you won’t regret when your time comes…

Like this post? help me nang it!!!

The lesson I've learned today

2008-06-19T22:17:00.005+08:00

The class placings are out, guess what?
I'm not in it this time. YEAH!!! time for a big big big celebration! If you didn't get what I meant, I'll explain here: The class have 42 pupils, after each exams, the placings are what we seek the most as it is a comparison in between us. But the school would like to increase all our standards by meeting the parents if the pupil gets a 22> placing in class. However, this is only applied for the B classes. Which I'm in one of it. In A classes, the pupil's parents are not required to meet the class teacher. But for the C classes, all the students will be meeting the form teacher.

When such an activity is organized, I would always hope that I'm 'safe'. Without luck, my wish doesn't come through each year, till today. Actually its was me that is not hardworking each time. xD but for the parent's day this Saturday, It's different! I'm safe!!! i got the 20th placing in the class. Not very good but barely safe. But still I'm free this Saturday!!! xD anybody want to go Queensbay? just kidding...

Another thing happened to day in school that touched me deeply. I'm do not get good results for my language subjects (except english, still acceptable but still not satisfying). My BM teacher had always reminded me to start studying now and then. However, our class had never shown a little initiative to study for the upcoming SPM papers, including me. XP For the past exam, I flunked my BM paper a few times, but each time teacher Kang Kul Lee will point out my every mistakes (as she would to other students), as she knows we would not read it. =) However, that is not the only thing she did, today she torn exercises from her own reference book! Calling each weak students out and gave each of us (I'm one of them) a different sheet! She did not collect money for the book! She did this for she wanted us to do better, when we have shown her we have no interest! This is a responsible teacher! She will be the teacher I admire from now on...

She is chinese and we would definitely be able to communicate better in Chinese, but when she entered our class for the first day, she spoke to us using BM. She chosen to only speak BM to us to make us get used to talking BM and this will somehow help improve our BM. She was so convincing that I even thought she is a 香蕉人 (a person that doesn't know his/her race's language). But I was proven wrong.

And thus, I shall do my very best for my future and to not let anyone down! Especially ME!!! Wish me luck...

Lyric

2008-06-18T21:46:00.003+08:00

This lyric is not for you, It's just the description of my feeling now. =)

Lyrics: Daniel Powter - Bad Day lyrics

Where is the moment where I need you the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue sky's faded to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carrying on

Stand in the line just ahead of the law
You're faking a smile with the coffee you go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carrying on

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carrying on

You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day

Sometimes the system goes on the blink and the whole thing it turns out
Wrong
You might not make it back and you know that you could be well oh that
Strong
Well I'm not wrong

So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

And here is the song
Bad Day - Daniel Powter

Miracles do happen

2008-06-18T15:41:00.002+08:00

Attention! today is the day to set your records!!! by downloading Mozilla Firefox 3 of course.
Well, I did download it just for the fun of "participating" in the Guinness World Record. But the program actually works faster and more user friendly! so don't hesitate to install it. It's only takes up 7mb. Only a bit larger than a mp3 file. Sacrifice a song for a free program. Now isn't that interesting?

Today at school, the most hilarious thing happened. A new teacher entered our class to replace Ong Chin Hua's class. Usually we would just ignore the teacher and carry on with our noise. However, this teacher is not ordinary, simply because she's a new face. An Indian teacher! haha... after Premalata has left, Chia Wei have no mood on fooling anybody's class anymore. The class shouted and scream when she enters. I don't know the details why did such pollution exist in the first place.
Ok, back to the topic. The reason I would post something like this because... That damn teacher gave me a stupid nickname and I've decided to hate her and not try to know her at all. shit her. I was totally framed.

Then later, another miracle happened. Chia Wei as the class graduation magazine class editor. Had problems with some non cooperative students in the class. These students did not write their 感言 which is a comment or last words for the school. And thus Chia Wei being pissed of getting them to write the comment. He said: "谁还没有交感言德不用毕业". At the very moment he said 不用毕业, thunder struck, as if he is saying something wrong. xD the whole class even laughed at him

The yearly durian season is ending in Penang. I bet eveyone knows what is a durian right? Well, If you don't. Here is one:

However I do not know about the other states, but this year Penang is having a small season. Haiz... It is definitely a sad thing for a big durian fan like me.

Small amount of durian = less durian I get to eat

I remember a year where people give us durian and we even got durian from my grandma's house. So we ended up with too much durians and we have to keep some in the refrigerator

Durian are categories to many different types and species, the popular ones are the ang hair, ko liam and etc. But something like this:

We call it 'zhu hut' in hokkien which means for single. And when u see such durian, it is definitely a delicious wan. As you can see all sides does not have other durians.

If you are really not familiar with this fruit. For example, how do u eat it? Of course open it, but then again how? The torns is everywhere!!! simple... open it with a knife

use the knife to slit open the joints and then use your bare hands to open it further

Then for the eating part, no need to teach gua. XD

Just open your mouth, eat and spit the seed. xD
remember to spit the seed!!! the seed is damn big!

OK, here is the tip I want to share with all of you. Does your finger smells like durian after eating? And did you notice that the smell is really hard to get rid of. Or have you experienced a fever after eating durian? Its rare, but sometimes it does happens!! It is because durian (King of all fruits) is very 'hot' as a chinese would say. And therefore we might fall sick when our body is too 'hot'

To get rid of the stench

wash your hands with the water running in the shell

or on the outer shell. THe chemical contain their will be able to help reduce the smell, but not completely vanishing it.

TO keep your body healthy,

again let the water (drinking water) run on the inner shell of the durian shell. Need not to say, please make sure the shell is clean lar. Then sieve the water in a glass just like in the pic.

or you can drink from the shell itself!!

Here are the durian for 3 people

remember to get rid of the seeds and the shell properly

if not. You'll have a durian smell house xD

And here is a picture of one of my dogs enjoying durian. Even dogs love durians!!!

And that's all. Have fun eating durian!
