Episode 47- Recap 2010 (Part 1)

2011-01-04T06:30:00.000-08:00

2010. What a rollercoaster year it had been.

Yup, I was in that rollercoaster and indeed it was one heck of a ride. There were so many ups and downs throughout 2010 and I believe that there will be more waiting for me in the future.

Recapping back those events happened throughout 2010 is definitely not an easy task as there were so alot to recall. During that process, I somehow reflected back my actions and I felt that I am still far from maturing into an adult.

Several classmates of mine often teased me ‘gina’. I knew that what they said were just for laughs, but as I think about it I sometimes do deserve to be called that. Maybe its because the way I communicate (I often insert unnecessary jokes, making the conversation looked childish) or the actions that I did. (no doubt that I am a very playful guy) Or maybe its because of my FACE? LOL. I seriously hoped that its not the last one.

In 5 months time, I am gonna be 20, meaning that I’ll no longer be a teenager anymore but a man that is ready to step out from the comfort zone. In order to do that, I must first change my personality, the way I speak, the way I dress, the way I act, everything. It is only then I can be a respectable man. And I certainly don’t want others to call me a ‘kid’ in the future.

Therefore, my resolution for 2011 is transform to myself from a playful good for nothing kid to a MATURE young guy that is ready to take on the world. And I am gonna start off with this piece of writing...

Recap 2010 will continue in the next episode!!

Episode 46: Ho Yeah!!

2010-09-03T04:24:00.000-07:00

*ho yeah means very good in Cantonese*

Wa seh!!! Finally done with the new layout of my blog. It took me quite a long time to customize it.

I decided to change it because the old layout kinda look dull and boring. And a also, I notice some of my blogmates, Kenny and SN to name a few, changed their layout background, so I follow them lor.. Haha.

Browsed through Pyzam at first, but I cant seem to pick any layout which is suitable which my taste. Some were too ‘awesome’. So if I were to place them as my blog layout, I afraid readers might prefer to view the background rather than reading the contents.So I opted for Blogger layouts instead. Hmmm, not bad i must say. Really like the one Kenny having now.

So, what ya guys think of my new layout?? Do drop some comments at the comment box yo!!

Holidays are just around the corner and I just cant wait for it this time. How long?? 2 weeks.

Wait a minute.. Did I just say 2 weeks??
Hell yeah!!! 2 weeks of awesomeness!!!!

Really looking forward to reunite with my classmates during Raya Break. And I can already smell the joy of hanging out with them this time.

Agenda for the 2 weeks?? Tai-o, Prima, TS, Sepetang, football field or some random friends house. (Chin’s house the best!!) Maybe got hike Maxwell Hill or even a trip to Penang. Hope so la..

The 2010/11 BPL season just started 3 weeks ago and I am so excited over it. For 3 consecutive weeks, I never fail to catch the live telecast of Arsenal’s matches together with my dad.

Arsenal’s 1st match was with Liverpool and it ended with a draw, with both the club’s new signing got sent in that match. Them it continued with an excellent 6-0 thrashing of Blackpool and lastly a 2-1 hard earn win over aggressive Blackburn Rovers.

Arsenal's Theo Walcott scoring a hat-trick against Blackpool

FM’s 1 month stay in Malaysia is just like Usain Bolt completed his 100m race only. Time seriously fly so freaking fast.

The first time I met him after a year was in Prima and that moment is still fresh in my mind. And just last week I had bid farewell to him at SS’s house. Damn, I already started to miss his random jokes already. Really wish his stay was longer.

I am glad that we had a farewell party for FM at SS’s house on the other nite. Seriously, it was fun. Ask CR and he’ll tell you why.

As what Kenny said in his post, the highlight for the nite was.. of course FAT ORCHID!!! Too bad for those who absent for, cuz i aint gonna reveal it here either. Lol

Currently addicted to this game. Just cant stop playing it on my PSP. Thanks a lot to Yiap for it.

September is gonna be an awesome month because there will be a lot of nice PSP games releasing. God of War:Ghost of Sparta, Kingdom of Hearts, UFC, and of course FIFA 11!!!

Happy Holidays Folks!!!

Ho yeah!!!! *thumbs up*

Episode 45: M-M (Part 2)

2010-08-25T05:19:00.000-07:00

MAY

1. Lower 6 Orientation

A quite disappointing batch I must say, in a sense that not much of pretty and hot chicks enrolling to ST.George this year. The total number of students enrolling was much lesser compared to last year’s batch, which is my batch.

The orientation for L6 usually lasted for 5 days and I was in charge for all the activities and sessions on Day 2. Basically my job was to tell the story of the founder of our school that is ST.John Baptist de La Salle. (and its not ST.George mind you!!!) Its like a story telling session la.. together with a simple slideshow and some short sketches as well.

I would be lying if I said that I’m not nervous for the session. It was my first time of carrying out such a session… imagine yourself talking in front of 80+ students!!

The night before, I had the worst case scenarios that I could think of. Students talking and sleeping during session, blackout, etc etc… I had a sleepless nite.

Thank GOD my plan worked well on that day. My plan of carrying out an ice-breaking session before my talk, received an overwhelming response. I really did not expect that to happen. Throughout my session, all those scenarios did not occur. (Thank GOD again!!!) The students were listening to my talk and I did not caught anyone sleeping either.

Special thanks to the Regional Boys who helped me to carry out the session successfully.. by performing a few simple sketches.

I must say that, I do gain a vast experience from it.

2. Birth of a new ball-Jabulani

I went out kai kai together with Joo Gin and Chee Leong. We went to ANW first to grab our lunch. After lunch, we could not decide where to go. Cinema?? Sorry, no nice movie. MCD?? We just had ANW!!!

Suddenly out of no where…

“How about playing badminton??”

Chee Leong and I were stunned for 1 second I tell ya.. Those words were uttered by Joo Gin of couse. So random wei!!!

The question arised.. Where the hell are we gonna play?? We cant go CRC cuz CL and JG already 19 years, meaning that they were no longer member anymore.

After that I decided to tell them that I wanted to buy a new ball. So, off we go to Weng’s Sport Shop!!

I ask the taukeh for a football and he recommended me a Jabulani, the official ball for World Cup. Very nice. The price also very nice. Guess how much was the price of the ball?? RM150!!

Siow ar!! I where got so a lot of money??

So u settled for a cheaper ball. Its still Jabulani. But a different one. View the pics and you’ll know. Bought it for RM50. The 3 of us played football (yea, just the 3 of us only) before calling it a day.

My precious ball

3. Birthday Wishes!!!

29th of May. An ordinary day for everyone, but a special day for me. I’ve received tons of birthday wished on my FB wall. It just put a smile on my face and made my day even better.

I just wanna spell the word T-H-A-N-K-S to my parents, relatives and of course my friends for celebrating this meaningful day with me.

4. 3-in-1 Disease

2 hours before my birthday ended.. Damn!! I caught a fever. I felt so icing cold wei.. Although the fan volume was turned on to 2, I could feel that I was in the North Pole. Had to wear jacket some more.

Things got worst the next morning. Phlegm and mucus were torturing me the whole day. My mucus wouldn’t stop flowing down my nostrils and I cant seem to stop coughing out phlegm.

Couldn’t study at all. The next day sumore got exam. It took me at least 3 days for me to recover.

Episode 44- M-M (Part 1)

2010-06-07T20:44:00.000-07:00

stands for March-May. Couldn’t think of an eye catching title for this post.

Mid-year exams just over. Somehow, this indicates that the ‘real thing’ is getting closer. Trials is only 2-3 months away, in August I think (correct me if I am wrong).

My mid-year exams?? I screwed up my ACC (again!!!) and PA paper. Econ and Business were just fine.

I was so caught up with work these few months that I almost lost interest in blogging. The number of posts in my blog archive had been slowly decreasing from year to year.

A lot of events happened this past few months. So I would to take this opportunity to tell you guys how I’ve been doing so far.

Without further ado, let’s check out these events.

MARCH-APRIL

1. Photo-session!!!

You would not believe me if I told you this. There was this period of time where a few classmates of mine (including me) started to bring cameras to school. It lasted about 2 weeks and the surprise is, we managed to bring without being caugt!!!

This is all thanks to Yew Cheong. Afterall, he was the Student Affair Prefect. He is the one conducts all the spot checks. So… well you know what am I talking right???

Having fun in class. The girl u see was indeed a scary girl.

Kena bully

2.MUET

We had our MUET practice during that 2 weeks as well. Mr.Koay, our MUET teacher told us that this practice served as a purpose to help us to get used to the situation of talking among when the real exam come.

Our MUET exam was divided into 2. The first one was in April and the other was in May. The exam in April comprises all the sections (writing,reading and listening) minus the speaking, which will be carried out in May.

Here are some of our MUET practise pics...

This guy har.. although gt speaking practice also, he can take so easily 1. Lol

(to be continued)

Episode 43: Till We Meet Again...

2010-03-14T04:09:00.000-07:00

Last month, I bid farewell to one of my best friends, Gus.

Yup, he went to Korea on a JPA scholarship and he will only be back to Malaysia August next year. Gosh, gonna miss him a lot.

Gus and I were regular “customers” in Taman Tasik and that explained why we were close to one another. Accompanied by Kok Leong, Chee Leong, Jason Lew, and Geet, we formed a group called “Taman Tasik Gang” la. We would either jog or take a stroll around the tranquil lake. And when its time to take a break, we would sit at our usual place nearby the golf ball sambil chitchatting.

“Hey Gus. Had you seen any pretty chicks??”
“Got meh?? My nightstalker eye not detecting anyone leh..”
“ I guess they would be either reading a book or tengah gossiping at house”
“ Too bad they missed the opportunity to witness 5 fit bachelors here”

Everyone would then bursted to laughter.

And when the clock strikes 6pm, we all would get on our bikes and rempit go to Prima to have our refreshments.

“Aunty the cina ais satu!!!”

Everyone would start to crack up as many jokes as possible. We would like laugh non-stop until the whole Prima also can hear us.

Remember show our membership card to get free eggs people. Lol.
The uncle selling DVD. Chee Leong is his no.1 customer.
Kok Leong, remember the egg tart punya daughter?? Hardly sees her now.
The teh cina ais got alcohol rite, Gus??? Lol

At night we formed another gang called the “Fuc**d UP Gang”. The mastermind behind it was Kok Leong. Our usual place??? My house!!!

Fu**ed Up Gang

Haha. Dunoe who suggest this brilliant idea 1. Before coming to my house, we would ta pow burger or ooblong from the burger stall in front of Prima. I must say the burger tastes the best in Taiping!!!

It seems like this year I will not only bid farewell to Gus. Chan Leong and Soon Cheon too will be leaving Malaysia on JPA scholarship. Well, CL will be going to meet Obama in US whereas SC will fly to Canada.

Not to mention, our Bakat a.k.a Xian Yung.. Together with Seik San at Taylor’s College, they will be studying their 1st year degree and he told me that he wont be coming back to Taiping during holidays. This is because this year is very important to him.

Despite all those goodbyes, i’ll be saying hello to Leong “The Legend” FM in July!!!

Yup, the moonwalker-turn- Bee gees will be rocking Taiping in a few months time. He is gonna surprise you with his Bee Gees punya hairstyle. Damn, I got so a lot to talk to him man.

To end my post, I wished you all good luck in your studies.

*Gus, you better bring back Girls Generation’s autograph for me!!! Nine of them!!! Nine!!!!*

Episode 42: I Am In Debate Competition!!!!

2010-01-22T02:58:00.000-08:00

YOU WISH!!!!!

Recently, I browsed through my old posts (you guys must be wandering how the hell I got so much time). Not my blog only but others as well. I found out that 3 in 1 shampoo’s blog really attracted me the most. I really like the way you guys sum up a story together. Post like “Day One (kick an ass trip to P.Penang), Who’s The Sushi King Now??” and “Journey To The North 1,2,3 and 4” (I still laugh my ass out when I hear Gunaraj’s name) are awesome piece of writing. No doubt bout that. No matter how many times I read those posts, I’ll never get bored of it. Seriously.

Anyway, back to the title. I never participated in debate competitions before. Cuz, I do not have the passion or interest in debating. But, I like to argue things out with other people when I think something is not right. Its more like asking questions like “What happen if you… Why you must do like that...Like this kenot meh? If you do like that…” For instance, my F4 Chemistry teacher ordered us (bunch of 4SC2 students) to copy notes from the whiteboard. I refuse to write those notes down, because the information at the whiteboard were all from the textbook (she copied it exactly from the textbook to the whiteboard). She found out that I wasn’t copying her notes.

Therefore she asked me to stand up and asked for an explaination. I mar go tell her that “Teacher, what’s the point of copying the same notes to our notebook where you can get it from the textbook??? Its not like I am gonna use the notebook for my revision right??” There was reason why my friends called her “volcano”. So after listening to my complain, she “erupted” and I got a scolding from her.

Terima kasih cikgu kerana buat saya “bersalin” banyak banyak.

There was one particular old post of mine that really reflects my asking-question attitude. Err.. I think you might wanna read it first before you continue on.

About 2 years go I wrote a post about how boring and dull Taiping Sentral (TS) was. Of course, before I wrote the post I already knew that I might bombarded with comments especially from the “Taiping Sentral-Haters” haters. Little did I knew that the people were actually 3 in 1 shampoo members. Gosh!!

I got bombarded with long comments from them. Haha. I think the longest comment was from FM. After reading his comment, you would probably realized the reason why he was member of SGI debate team that went all the way to the semis in the national debate tournament (correct me if I am wrong).Not to mention Kok leong and Kenny ones as well. And a few from Chan Leong and Chong Ren.

It gives me satisfaction when I read up those comments. It simply gives me a thought that my blog actually being read by my friends out there. I mean that’s the whole purpose of blogging rite?? So, when there are comments whether is good or bad (of course I would preferred the good ones la) it gives me the eagerness to reply each and every comments.

Mr.Koay, now my MUET sensei, taught me this idiom, “Write To Read”. It simply defines that what you write is for others to read. I doubt myself whether I can attract people or not to read up my blog when I first started blogging. My English was simply not good enough and I don’t possessed the ability to make my story interesting to read. I really admired the way FM wrote his stories. It is outstanding I must say. His style of writing really unique and you can always find humour in it.

I must admit that TS really upgraded a lot for the past years. Yea, I complained about the lack of entertainment in TS in my blog before. The massive transformation of TS cleared my doubts already. You can see people shooting hoops at the playground, singing at the karo-ok, playing pool and skates at the skating ring.

But I am still disappointed with the absence of major bookstores in TS. I really like books. The problem is, whenever I wanna purchase a book I have to go all the way to KL. Because only Borders or Kinokuniya got these types of books. (I dunnoe bout Ipoh la) So I am still hoping that in the near future we can see major bookstores at TS.

Episode 41: Walk The Talk

2009-12-16T08:47:00.000-08:00

Juz wanna dedicate this song to all the delegates of 19th Lasallian Leaders Convention. I am glad that i met with you all. Hope we will meet again in the future.

We are companions on the way
Sharing dreams and sharing life
And in the life we lead and the road we take
We can make dreams come true

In faith like La Salle, we’re called to show the way
To share and to live his dream
To ev’ry woman, child and man, will learn to be free
To live in harmony

We will walk the talk
We will touch the hearts with love
It’s the reason, we’ll share in the dream
And in the world of pain, we are the hopes of life
And in the darkness, we’re called to be
Lights of our world

Our futures- they seem so far away
But our tommorows are decided today
For it’s a time to care and a time to heal
A change starts with you and me

From La Salle we draw strength, to practice what we preach
In caring for the world today
In giving everyone, we learn to receive
To make this world a better place

There’s a tension within to give or to take
To touch every heart or lose all that’s at stake
The choice is yours and the choice is mine
To build the world with humanity

4th Asia Pacific Lasallian Youth Congress Theme song
Lyrics by Eric Bryan, Ivan Ng and Gerrard Louis

Episode 40: Angels and Demons

2009-11-05T08:21:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, I went to school for my librarian duty at 4pm. The whether was kinda want-rain-duwan-rain like dat. But fortunately I reached school without getting my clothes soaked.

Pei Chern was the shift leader on that day (she always give me ‘penyusunan’ one). No duty on that day. Stock check was carried out on that day. So everyone must do ‘penyusunan’ Great.

As I carried some books to one shelves to another, something caught my attention. It was a book la. But I got the feeling that the book was calling for me…

“Come to me Mun Keong…. Come to papa….”

Gosh, creepy man.

To satisfy my curiosity, I took out the book (it was thick and has a hard cover) from the shelve.

When I saw the book title… OMG….

The book was none other than…..

DAN BROWN’S ANGELS AND DEMONS!!!!!

Me wif Dan Brown's masterpiece.

Gosh, man. I cant believe it man. The book with the words “The International Bestsellar” was right in front of my eyes. I feel in love with it instantly. No doubt bout it.

What would such a popular book (even popular than Stephanie Meyer’s Twillight) was doing inside SGI library???

“Damn, I gotta borrow this book”, I whispered to myself.

So today, after Mr.Teh’s account class, (boring as ever) armed with my librarian tag, I raced to the library, hoping the book was still there.

“Thank God the book is still there”, I murmured.

So I grab the book (and hug it) and walked to the library office. I clicked on the computer to register myself as the borrower of the book.

“Ey, ey, Mun Keong, kamu buat ape tu??” asked the Kakak. (Kakak was the library boss)
“Saya nak pinjam buku ini kak.” I replied.
“Tak boleh pinjam hari ini. Kan ada stock check.” said the Kakak.

My heart shattered into pieces.

“Tak boleh pinjam ke, Kak??”, I tried to negotiate.
“Tunggu stock check habis dulu.” she replied.

I was like OMG. When la the stock check gonna finish?? Of all the time…

“Kak, betul tak boleh pinjam?? I asked for one last time, hoping she will agree.
“Tak boleh” she said.

Great. This is just fantastic.

For a moment I thought I could borrow the book… But now…. Have to wait till stock check is done.
I reluctantly put back the book into the shelves, and head to the exit with a sour face.

Suddenly, the Kak called out my name.

What I heard next was magical…

“Baiklah, baiklah. Pergi procees buku tu” she said.

Lady luck had not abandoned me after all. Without wasting any time, I ran towards the shelve and took out Dan Brown’s masterpiece and have it processed.

“Terima kasih Kak.” I said with a glowing smile on my face. My sour face no longer exits that time.

As soon as I went back to my class, I stared flipping the pages. Interesting, I must say. Having read the comments, especially one that says….

“A heart racing thriller. The story has so many twists that it would be a sin to reveal too much of the plot in advance. Lets just say that if this novel doesn’t get your pulse racing, you need to check your meds” –San Francisco Chronicle-

burned my desire to read up the book.

So thanks a lot to Dato’ Ng Tieh Chuan for donating such a marvelous book to the library. The Lost Symbol in the future perhaps??

This book is highly recommended, and if you are a SGI, you should borrow it. But must wait me finish first la.

Hope I can finish reading before November 11.

Can you decipher this?? Illuminati is the word.

This was the place where the victim were 1 by 1 being killed

Episode 39: Comeback

2009-11-02T05:57:00.000-08:00

“Guess who’s back, back again, Shady’s back, tell a friend. Now everyone report to the dance floor…”- Just Lose It by Eminem.

Ahh…Finally… After 1 week of misery, my final exam was finally over. But somehow, I don’t feel happy bout it at all. I did kinda badly in my account paper la, that’s why. Still cant believe that, although I’ve been training for 5 months under my account sifu, I still cant mastered the foundation. Damn it man. (sigh)

Time really fly fast don’t they?? Just a blink of an eye, and its already near the end of 2009. The feeling of being enrolled to the F6 stream is still fresh in my mind, and its just like happened yesterday only. I find hard to believe that the fact that, I’m about to complete my L6 syllabus already. And next year I’m gonna face my biggest challenge ever… STPM.

The 1 week holiday during Hari Raya was indeed a fun week man. No words can describe how exited I am to be reunited with my old pals. Not to mention we had a fantastic BBQ meal at Seik San’s house. Of course nothing could beat the adventure to Taman Saga a.k.a Chinese Graveyard. Lol. I was in Joo Gin’s car at that time and gosh, he almost rammed over a grave when we took a tour inside the graveyard man!!! It was so scary at that time. But luckily no “white figure” or “a pair of red eyes” appeared.
A few days later, we even went to Kuala Sepetang to have one scrumptious seafood feast.

Kuala Sepetangs rocks dude!!!!

The Sepetang gang

Rewind back to a few months ago.... The events that happened was the Librarian Farewell Party and Interact Installation Nite. Sorry homies, no time to blog about that. But what can I say is that, it was a great experience for me as I was elected as the Organizing Chairman for both the function. The Librarian Farewell Party was carried out successfully but not for the Interact Installation. A lot of trouble occurred during that night. I am very sorry bout it.

I guess that’s all from me for now. Will be posting more post in the future. Until then, chao.

P:S: Good to see you back, Foo Mun. Cant believe that the price of one hair cut in France is equal to RM 75 in Malaysia. No wonder you keep it long la. Then u can tie ponytail already. Haha. Anyway I am glad we got a chance to keep in touch via the webcam. Bear in my that we all, I mean the whole bunch of SGI Class of 08 will be looking forward seeing you again next year. Take care in France, my friend.

Episode 38: F6

2009-08-26T22:48:00.000-07:00

Prologue

I could still remember that in the beginning of the year, I strongly disaggree with my dad’s idea of sending me back to SGI for F6. The reason?? Most of my friends had gone. F6 is a waste of time(1 and half years!!!). And not to mention seeing “her” face again. Gosh.

I am very envy that most of my friends went for college. Taylor,Sunway,UNITEN, you name it. For once my dad asked me whether I want to go UTAR or not. I was jubilating at that time. Coz, I finally got to taste what college life is all about. But he took back those words as he thinks that F6 is more suitable for me. Sigh (sorry yea Joo Gin, kenot teman you). During Chinese New Year, my relatives came back. As we sat on the dining table (after eating) we started to chitchat about the path that I should take. As expected, my relatives 100% agree of sending me back to F6.

“Ah Keong r. Better listen to what ur dad says. He nvr wrong 1 in making decisions.”
“Ya lo. U know r? The standard of F6 is higher than Matrix and A-Levels u know??”
“Ah Keong this… Ah Keong that….”

After hearing their thoughts, I finally give in. I understand that my parents could not afford me to go for private colleges. As a result I hafta continue my next chapter of life in F6…

Welcome back to school

Its been almost six months since I left my alma mater. Nothing changes much. Just that the basketball court had been tiled up. The rest is still very much the same. As usual, students din tuck in shirt, rubbish everywhere and students wooing the new L6 gals. It can never change. Sad.

Orientation started on that day. Boring as ever. Ok, I am gonna skip that part. Orientation ended after a week. Then, I was placed in the Physics class for 3 miserable weeks!!!

My plan for F6 would be enrolling myself in the arts stream. (Account class-L6k2) I could not do that because I need a so called “kelulusan” from the JPN. To make matter worst, the peroid for F6 had been extended untill 4pm. 4pm you know!!! Kanasai le.

After the holidays, my request for changing to the arts stream was granted. But somehow, I don’t feel happy about it. Coz, Yiap,Nixon and Yew Cheong(who were supposed to join me n the account class) punya request were denied by the JPN. Therefore they have to make rayuan.This means they have to rot in the Physics class again!!!

Can anyone tell me why we need a kelulusan from JPN only you can change stream????

L6K2

When I first stepped into my new class, I was very nervous. As I stood by the class teacher, I could see 23 pairs of eyes staring at me. After telling to the form teacher that I am the new boy, I started to introduce myself…

“Hello there. My name is Hooi Mun Keong. Nice to meet you all”

There was a silence for a few seconds, before some of them satrted clapping. I was in a very awkward situation by that time(mayb for d few seconds of silence kot). I quickly scanned for a place to sit. Class ended without anyone talking to me. What a great start.

During extra class, things got “better”. Some of the girls started to talking to me, only to know that I DON’T SPEAK MANDARIN!!!. Later on, I realize that the whole class was made of(majority la) Hua Lian students. Therefore you can conclude that their daily conversation would be in Mandarin. Another great start.

I started to doubt whether I can mix with them or not. Luckily some of them can communicate in Cantonese. What a relief!!!As days goes by I started to mix with them more and more. The students in my class were super friendly and they don’t mind talking to me despite language barrier. So you can say that, I learning Mandarin everyday. Haha.

Epilogue

Its been almost 3 months now in the class. You can say that now I am very formal with them already. We are no more strangers from the dat we met. And I can say there wont be one dull moment from day 1 untill now. The class is so fun filled. I started enjoying F6 life now that even I rejected the offer that I got from the maktab.

Yiap,Nixon and Yew Cheong joined us 3 weeks after their request had been denied. They have to drive to Ipoh to get the job done.

Well, that’s how my life is.. in f6. I made countless of friends. And I had learn a lot of new stuffs. Of course have to study hard especially for account, since I had no basic in it. Hope to update more on whats goin on here in f6.

Until then, chao.

-Reached Maxwell Hill.
- Warmed up
-Begin our hiking at 7.30a.m.

7.30-11.30a.m.
-After 15 minutes of hiking, Ah Kok complained of tiring already.
-Really tough to hike, since so long didn’t hike.
-A relief when we reached the 1st pondok, saw some uncles and aunties ‘yam cha’ at there.
-Rested for 5 minutes.

-Continued our hike.
-Saw one bugger running, Gus and Chee Leong ‘beh syok’ and say that he sure pomcat want. Maybe that fellar want to lansi kot….
- Joke and laugh all the way to 2nd pondok.
- Rested at 2nd pondok for a couple of minutes and then continue again.
- Gus said that we should take our breakfast at 3rd pondok. We mar like ok, since Gus been to the top before.

-After quite a long hike, pondok no.3 is nowhere to be seen. We curiously ask Gus whether the pondok is still far away or not. Gus kept insisting that the 3rd pondok is very near.
-After we ‘belived’ that Gus is talking the truth, we continue to hike some more, despite our stomach growling.
-Another 15 minutes of hiking, we ‘beh tong’ already.
-We stopped at the roadside.
- We sat down at the concrete-like- bench and had our light breakfast. I shared my mum’s homemade egg sandwich with them. Chee leong pula ate his ‘roti berkrim’ .
-While we were eating, there was a bunch of ‘natives’ ( you know who am I talking rite??)passed by us. Chee Leong overheard them saying that we were ‘uncles’(means that we were weak la).

-We continued our journey after 10 minutes of break.
-Kok Leong terus branded them as ‘monkeys’ after watching them do silly and stupid stuffs. (ex. mimicking monkey’s voice, throwing rocks to the trees)

- Saw a few jeeps going up. Spotted a few ‘leng lui’s’ inside.

-Reached Tea Garden. (after approximately 40 minutes of hiking from the concrete place)
- Break a while at there. I ate my mum’s sandwich to gain energy.
- Kok Leong and Gus were busy gulping water. Chee leong pula went to a toilet (man-made 1, not natural) at there. After doing his ‘business’ he told us that it was the worst toilet he had ever been.
-Rested bout 5 minutes and then we continued our hiking.

-Lost sight of the ‘monkeys’ already.
- Reached the waterfall. Gus wanted to drink the water but reluctant to do so after Kok Leong and Chee Leong joked, ‘You know ar Gus.. The water u bout to drink are from the mixing of monkey’s pee + Uncle bathing on top and + Hiker’s spits…..’ We all LOL.
- Well it’s just a joke anyway.

-Still a long way to the top.
-Chee Leong started to listen to his mp3.
-Saw a jeep go up. Inside got a few boys. Ah Kok joked that if there were another jeep going up with boys inside, he will took off his shirt and wear a shirt with the words “Jeep are only for pussies!!!” written in it.
-We all laugh-out-loud again.
-Break at roadside to have a drink.
-Another 30 minutes of walking, and we finally reached our destination.

11.30-12.00
-We were so happy when we reached the tower. The structure of the tower reminded me of the tower from the movie ‘Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers’.
-Never forget to snap the beauty of the hills there. (check the pics below)
-After that, was the bridge. It also reminded me of the monkey bridge where our seniors built during scouts camp. Snap a few pics at there. (see below)

12.00p.m-3.00pm
-Reached the cafeteria.
-Ordered teh tarik.
-I did not ordered any food cause still haven't finish eating egg sandwich. Ah Kok ordered nasi lemak. Quite cheap. Only RM1.50. And its satisfying. (according to Kok Leong la)
-After our stomach finished digesting the food, we resume our journey. (sek pau mou ye chou)

-We arrived to a wooden table and chair where we could not ressist the temptation of looking to something. (not girls yea, we are not pervert).
- It was the most beautiful sight that I’ve ever saw. The view of the whole Taiping town!!!
-I could not imagine that Taiping was such a huge town. We were all busy snapping the beauty of Taiping town. (Check the pics below. We forgotten to bring camera go. (aherm) So the quality of the pics is kinda sucks. )
-Gus was busy finding Tesco la, Taiping Sentral la..
-After staring at the perfect view of Tpg, we resume back our journey.

-Reached Cendana Hut and Café.
-Took a stroll around there.
-Break.
-There was a road up in front from the place we were resting. We debated whether we should continue hiking or not as we were out of energy already.
- All of us agreed of continuing the hiking.

-After a few metres of walking, my legs started to hurt. A kind Kok Leong (tipu punya) borrow me his Yoko-Yoko to help me relieve the pain. It did not help anyway.
-Chee Leong pula continue listening to his mp3.
-It was quite a long journey (approximately one hour of hiking from the Cendana) to the communication tower.
-Along, we saw a huge bee hive. It’s so big that it reminded me of Siew Hoong’s head. Lol. Its just a joke yea.. Too bad we forgot to snap a picture of it. We even debated again whether we should continue or not as the road lead us to nowhere.

But finally….

We reached it!!! The communication tower!!! Highest point if Maxwell Hill!!!

I am so glad that we did not stop halfway at there. Its definitely worth it.

2.00 pm
-Back at cafeteria
-Gus, me and Kok Leong ate Maggi cup. Chee Leong special 1. He ate Ramen, specially imported from Japan 1 lor.. Together with chopstick some more. All we had was plastic fork nia…
-As expected, a cup of noodles was not enough for Ah Kok. He went in (the cafeteria) and ordered a piece of drumstick.

3.00pm
-To end our journey, we took a jeep down to the foot of Maxwell. We were lucky enough that there was a jeep there to take us down. If not, we will have to walk down already.
-It costed us RM 4 each.
-We went back to our home sweet home around 3.45pm

It was indeed a one hell of a hike. We were all exhausted. But I am very thankful that I was given a lifetime experience with my buddies.

Thanks for the memories guys!!

So when are we gonna conquer Mt Kinabalu and Everest??

Episode 32- Barcelona Conquered Rome

2009-05-29T18:29:00.000-07:00

What a nite.

The fans. The stadium. The players. The atmosphere.

It was absolutely outstanding. There is no better word to describe that.

Barcelona conquered Rome that nite with a superb display of possession, proving again that football is still the best game in the planet. The Catalans outclassed the Devils with an excellent 2-0 win in the the Staduim Olimpico, Rome. Goals from Samuel E’to and Lionel Messi had earned Barca as a rightful UCL champions.

Barca was dominating the whole game since the start of the first minute. Superb play from Puyol, Pique, Xavi and Iniesta were the key factors that helped Barca to clinch the title. Puyol played an excellent right back to stop Ronaldo from terrorizing the defense. Barca playmakers, Xavi and Iniesta produce amazing through balls and crosses that that was enough to crushed Man U’s dream of retaining the title.

On the 10th minute, Cameroon striker , Samuel E’to opened up the scoring to give Barca an early lead. E’to dribbled past Vidic and produce an unstoppable shot past keeper, Van Der Sar. United’s morale went down after the first goal. However, United had a couple of chances, but it was not enough to salvage a point.

Eto the scorer

In the 2nd half, Barca still maintain their possession. There was a freekick awarded to Barca. Xavi took the stunning freekick and it almost went in, but the post denied it. Ji Sung-Park had a great opportunity to equalize after a cross from Rooney, but the ball was too high for him to head in. In the 70 minutes, Messi’s magic proved that he is much better that Ronaldo. A devastating cross from Iniesta to Messi, totally unmarked and produce a stunning header past the keeper. After that, Devils were playing rough especially Scholes and Ronaldo.

Messi's magic

Tevez and Messi tussling against each other

In the end of the game, you could see Barca fans went wild in the stadium. During the medal giving ceremony, you could also see that all Man U’s player were in sour face. They produce a very poor display that nite. As a result, they were outplayed.

The Catalans celebrate after winning the title.

And Barca’s manager Pep Guardiola is one happy man.

Episode 31- See You In Rome

2009-05-24T01:44:00.000-07:00

Don’t get the idea that I’m going to Rome, okay??

All eyes are on the upcoming UEFA Champions League (UCL) final at the Stadium Olimpico (in Rome) and both teams are out to create history.

Well, the two teams are the recently crowned EPL champions, Man United (a.k.a Red Devils) and the Catalan Giant, Barcelona.

The Devils will be looking to add another silverware in their cabinet to complete a sweep of quardruple cups and Barca are out to bag a historic trebel in Guardiola’s first season in charge.

Alex Ferguson’s side will also be hoping to retain the UCL title and become the first ever Europe team to retain the title. The Catalans will definitely be out to stop the Devils from clinching the title.

The road to the final of UCL, came in for United when they thrashed Arsenal in a 4-1 aggregate match. In the 1st leg the only goal of the game from O’Shea gave the Devils the lead. Then in the 2nd leg, the dreams of going to Rome for Arsenal had perished. Goals from Ji-Sung Park and Ronaldo crushed Arsenal’s dream and left them another year without a throphy. Although I’m a Gunner fan, I could not stop myself from hailing Ronaldo’s magic throughout that match. The superb freekick (from Ronaldo) and great tactics between him and Rooney are simply tantalizing. They just got me glued on my sit for the full 90 minutes .

O'Shea's goal.

The goalscorer.

Scores a superb freekick in the 2nd leg.

Meanwhile, the other UCL match between Chelsea and Barcelona is another spectacular one. Both teams are evenly strong and it’s tough to predict which team will make it to the final. In the 1st leg, both teams drew 0-0 at the Nou’s Camp(Barca’s home)with Barca dominating the whole game. In the 2nd leg at Stamford Bridge, Michael Essien gave the Blues the lead by scoring a superb volley. The Blues managed to hold the Catalans until extra time. Well, if you gonna think that Chelsea will be going to another final encounter with Man U, think again. During extra time, the Blues fans cheered and whistled as they were so confident that their team will go to Rome. Then, on the 93rd minute(correct me if I’m wrong), the whole crowd was silenced. The magic from Iniesta put Barca in the final against Man U. As Messi give a one-touch ball to him,Iniesta wasted no time to strucked a magnificent shot to the top corner leaving Petr Cech in agony. The Blues were so dejected. And there is more. A couple of seconds before the whistle ends, a shot from Ballack(correct me if I’m wrong again)in the penalty box hit the arm of one Barca’s player. Its clearly a penalty. But referee Tom Ovrebo denied it. The score settled at 1-1. At the end of the game, while the Catalans celebrated their win, the Blues confronted Overbro with frustrations and anger. Reports said that Ovrebo did not gave at least 4 penalties to Chelsea. To rub salt into Chelsea’s wound, the Blues striker, Didier Drogba was expected to face a lenghty ban in the UCL next season. This is because he ranted the F-word in front of the television cameras. Even Guus Hiddink and four security officers struggled to prevent the finger jabbing striker from venting at the referee.

Iniesta, reeling off after scoring.

A mad Drog.

So, the stage is set.

The Red Devils and the Catalans will face off against each other in a spectecular showdown and expect no mercy from the 2 giants.

Be sure to catch the game live on May 27, 3am on ESPN.

Episode 30-Dear Mom

2009-03-27T07:37:00.000-07:00

I’ve been planning to write this post for quite a long time. But I cant seem to find the right time to publish it, until yesterday I remembered that today 27th of April is my Mom’s birthday. Yup, today is a very special day for her and I would like to take this opportunity to publish this post today. Here is a little message for my Mom..

Dear Mom,

For over 17 years, I know that I had not been a good boy. I tend to make you angry and sad because of my foolish attitude. But you never hated or punish me for the mistakes that I’ve done. Instead you gave me advise on how to improve my self better. Although your income is little, you never fail to buy expensive electronic gadgets (handphone, psp) whenever we (my bro and I) asked for it. Moreover, you had always bring us to eat good food. You’ve always make time to fetch us to tuition, meetings despite your busy schedule. All these sacrifices you made, I will remember it forever.

Thank you mom for bringing joy and happiness in my life. When times are bad, you never fail to bring smiles upon our faces. Thank you mom (and dad) for taking care of me. When I am sad, you guys are there to comfort me. When I am sick, you guys quickly bring me to the clinic. I am truly grateful of that. And lastly I would like thank you mom for giving birth to me. Thank you for bringing me to this world. This is the best gift that I ever had. I’ll promised that one day, I will make you and dad be proud of me.

I am sorry for all my wrong doings in the past. I’m sorry too for not buying a birthday present for you. Instead, I would like to make this post as a birthday present for you. I hope that you and dad will be blessed with great health and longevity.

Happy Birthday MOM!!

I’ll end this post with song. This song was sung by Girls Generation and the title is ‘Dear Mum’. Therefore I would like to dedicate this song to my mom.

Translation

I’m feeling tired today
Left alone in the room hugging a pillow

Touching my phone distracted my mind
It’s lonely to eat tonight

Suddenly, i was frightened by the ringing phone
my mom’s worried voice asked if i’ve eaten
these words annoyed me but today it’s different
The forgotten promises are remembered

I will be a person with pretty heart
And become a person who is selfless
I’ll keep the love of my mother’s wishes
I think of mother who used to share my dreams and brush my hair

Though I’ve made hurtful wrong choices
You silently watched over me from behind
But now I think more than an innocent child
The meaning of mom’s silent prayers

I will be a person with pretty heart
And become a person who is selfless
I’ll keep the love of my mother’s wishes
I think of mother who used to share my dreams and brush my hair

What will i do, yet my heart is small
Can I do better without holding mother’s hand

I’m afraid that it will still lack
I’ll be a wise daughter of my mom (Give me the courage)
I will be a proud daughter no matter where I go (You’ve been there for me)
I’ll keep the love of my mother’s wishes
I’ll show endless love
I’ll have a warm heart
I’m shy to express to mom

That I really love my mom

Episode 29: I'm Back!!!

2009-03-26T21:01:00.000-07:00

Its been almost 2 month since I wrote my last post. I just cant believe that time really flies so fast. The month of March had been a significant month for those SPM students. I believe that this month will be the turning point of life to those students . This will mark a new chapter of life for them as they will embark on a journey to become an adult. Whether you are ready or not, you are gonna face countless of boundaries ahead of you in the future. Stay strong to face it and remember never ever give up…

First of all, I would like to congratulate to Chee Leong, Foo Mun and Jason Liew who managed to get JPA schorlaship. You guys really deserve it. Bright future defenitely awaits you all. Good luck in your interview and FM, you better start learning French now!!! Lol.

Furthermore, I would like to welcome back my NS friends that is Siew Hoong, Chong Ren and Ern Wei. Its great to see you guys again. You guys really look handsome in bald. Haha. Juz joking. Looking you all in bald really reminds me of my recruit training.

And to Chan Leong who is currently studying in UNITEN, I wish u good luck in everything you do. I heard you goin Japan rite?? Remember to buy some souvenirs back ok?? Haha.

Episode 28: RM1 bil just for 1 man??

2009-01-23T22:49:00.000-08:00

Before I begin, let me explain the meaning of these terms as some of it might be unfamiliar to you guys. (I am referring to the non- football fan)

Transfer Window
Transfer window is the time where football clubs are able to buy or sell players in order to strengthen the squad. Its duration is 2 months and it begins in July (where the season starts) and in January. Once Transfer Window is closed, football clubs cannot buy any more players.

Barclays Premier League (BPL)
One of the famous English football league in England, where 20 football teams are in a race to win the league cup.

Manchester City
One of the BPL football club. Currently the richest club in the world.

Kaka/ Robinho/ Lionel Messi/ Cristiano Ronaldo
They are the some of the most expensive players in the world (for now). They are fast, skillful, talented, and always hungry for goals. Majority of them had won prestigious awards in football.

Ok. Lets begin.

Billions of dollars, pounds and euros may have been lost in the global financial crisis, but most of Europe’s leading football clubs are still poised to spend big during transfer window.

The club most unlikely to be unaffected by the credit crunch is Man City who may still be serious underachievers at the wrong end of the BPL, but became the world richest club when they were bought by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Nahyan of Abu Dhabi.

As a result, City broke the British transfer record to bring in US$50 mil (equivalent to 32.5 mil euros) Brazil striker Robinho on the last day of September transfer window.

He is determined to do that again in the January transfer window……

Due to the unlimited budget provided, Man City’s boss, Mark Hughes, had been linked with over 50 players which he wanted to bring them to the club such as Lionel Messi of Barcelona, Kaka of Ac Milan, Cesc Fabregas of Arsenal and Fernando Torres of Liverpool.

And he made the first step on Tuesday (last week).......

Man City offered a sensational 175 mil euros in a bid to land AC Milan’s superstar, Kaka.

Milan would pocket 100 mil euros and the Brazilian playmaker Kaka almost 75 mil euros for a five year deal worth 15 mil euros a season- or 280,000 euros per week.

That’s not all,

On Friday (last week), Man City increased their offer to a phenomenal 243 mil euros for Kaka. Unbelievable? You better believe it. The large amount of money could almost buy three F16 fighter which were priced at US$55 mil each. Moreover, it could also cover the GDP pf a host of nations. For example, in 2005, the Cook Island’s estimated GDP was US$ 183,200,200, the Marshall Island US$ 115,000,000 and Anguilla US$108,900,00.

City’s bid breaks down as follows:

1. 108 mil euros for AC Milan
2. 108 mil euros for Kaka’s wages including taxes. Kaka will be paid a net salary of 13.28 mil euros a year.
3. 27 mil euros in commission to brokers, middle-men and signing on fees.

AC Milan fans were totally furious about the news. They did not want their hero to leave San Siro(AC Milan’s homeground). Some of the angry AC Milan fans sprayed “Hands off Kaka” on the club’s main office. Not only AC Milan fans objected the transfer of Kaka, Liverpool striker Fernando Torres also thinks that the Brazilian star should not join the cash rich City.

“Man City are not the right team for Kaka,” Torres told the Daily Mail.

“Big players want to win trophies and Man City are not even in the race for trophies in England.”

And Torres insisted that winning trophies was more important than anything else for a player, including money.

“Imagine 10 years after you stop playing, you go back, you look around, you are not in any picture, you have no medals, no trophies; its like you played for nothing.”

“You may have a fantastic car, a fantastic home, but what does it matter? No players looks back and says, “I won more money”.”

Even with the presence of Robinho in the squad, Man City is currently number 11 in the BPL(7 wins, 4 draws and 10 losses). Moreover, they are just 4 points adrift from the relegation zone. How do you expect Kaka to be in this team?

As what Torres said, big stars want to win trophies. With Kaka in the team, will Man City win the premiership title? Or can Man City qualify for the Champions League? The answer is a big NO. Remember, this is Man City not Man United.

In the nutshell, Man City should not spend over 100 mil euros just on a single player. And Kaka should reject the offer from Man City although the deal is lucrative. After all he is the hero of San Siro and this is where he truly belongs. He still has a lot to offer to AC Milan as he is just 26 years old. Meanwhile Man City should spend the money wisely by buying a few players and not just one. Who knows the players bought to Man City can adapt themselves with other players, the tactics of the team or maybe with the manager as well. Thus, this will strengthen the squad and enable Man City to achieve a stable position in the table. Maybe in a few years to come, Man City will win the premier league title or even qualify for the Champions League. Good luck Man City.

Note: 1 euro=RM4.60
1 US$=RM3.50

If we converted the amount of money that Man City offered to Kaka to RM, then Kaka is worth around RM1 billion in Malaysia!!!! Can you believe that?? His salary for a year is almost RM60 mil!! This is totally insane. Can you imagine that?

Episode 25: The 40 Km Expedition

How many of you had ever chopped a bamboo tree before? How many of you had ever been to Burmese Pool around 2 in the morning? And of course, how many of you had ever experienced pumping with your friends in a toilet completely NAKED!!!! Those were some of the unforgettable activities during my 5years as a scout in SGI, which is why I regard it a one of the best memories I had in my entire life.

I enrolled to the 01 LMS scout troop as a naïve and good for nothing brat, but I left the troop as a wise and mature young man. What scouting taught me are the things that cannot be taught within the formal education system such as responsibilities, humble, trust, sacrifice, commitment, and above all, friendship. Therefore, I am grateful that I had made the right choice by joining the scout troop. I had tons of memories throughout my 5 years of scouting and I would like to share one of my most memorable memory, that is the 40 km expedition. Let the story begin!!!

On the 20th May 2007, 9 SGI scouts comprising me, Joo Gin, Jason, Chee Leong, Chan Leong, William, Weng Chiat, Govir, and Tian Jian gathered at Amanah Ikhtiar(beside tennis court) at 8 in the morning. We were all ready to face the longest walk in our life. The Expedition Badge was our third Five Highest Badge. The SGI troop leader was….. errr… Its better not to say it out. You will know why as you read on. As soon as the troop from other schools had arrived, Mr,Fadhil, the head of Pengakap Remaja brief us about the expedition. Sharp at 8.30 am, we were given the honour to start the expedition. We were given a map of Taiping, some compass and a piece of paper with all the tasks we must accomplish.

Well, our first task was to find the ‘Jalan-Jalan Cari Makan’ Restaurant. As our leader mentioned the task, everyone started to look at each other with a question mark above their heads. Where is the restaurant?? How are we gonna find it?? Those were the questions keep popping up in our minds. WTF man!!! Well Tian Jian suggested to go to the nearest restaurant which was a few metres away from Amanah Ikhtiar. Too bad it was not the one. We went to few restaurants to check it out, but lady luck was not with us that day. We were completely lost. What a ‘great’ start for us. After walking aimlessly for 1 and half hours, we finally took a break at Zoo Taiping. Tian Jian make a call to Tn.Fadhil to determine the location. He told us that the restaurant was Doli. We quickly get our feet on and headed to Doli. But before we could continue, Tn.Fadhil scolded us ‘Bodoh’ and ‘Sombong’ . Those words were so sharp as if there were knives piercing through our hearts. Without wasting any time, we started to jog in order to keep up with other troops. We reached Doli around 10+ . By then, we were the last troop of the expedition.

Our next checkpoint was at the police station of Pokok Assam. Imagine walking from Doli to Pokok Assam!! Did you know what we were going through that time? Hell. We had to carry our heavy luggage throughout the journey. To rub salts in our wounds, the temperature that day was so freaking high!!! It was a huge relief for us when we manage to reach the police station. Everyone was so tired. Shoulders were aching. This is just the beginning for us. There is still a long way to go. Anyway, our job at there was to take the cop and signature of a police officer. After 20 minutes of break, we get our ass up and continue the expedition. The next checkpoint was at Toptex. There was a troop ahead of us. It was the Bukit Jana troop. We were lucky that we can catch up with them. We knew we had to increase our pace despite the hot sun. Its do or die for us. As the number 1 scout troop in LMS, we cannot afford to let other troops to beat us. Chan Leong quickly complete the task at Toptex, while the rest of us took the opportunity to rest. Once Chan Leong was done, we quickly loaded our bags and continue the expedition. Due to our determination, we were able to beat the Bukit Jana troop. 1 down 3 to go.

The pressure of our bags on our shoulders were so great. We all could feel the pain on our shoulders. Yet we did not complain. We knew that our top priority was to be the 1st troop to reach the pit stop. The 4th checkpoint was at the SMK Pengkalan Aur. We reached there around 12+. It was such a huge relief for us because we managed to catch up with the KE troop. They too were taking a break at the school. By the way, the task at SMK Pengkalan Aur was to measure the height of some poles. After break, we continued the walk to the next checkpoint at SK Pengkalan Aur. Nothing much happened. We managed to beat the Sri Kota troop. So, its 3 down 1 to go. Once we completed the task, we headed to the 6th checkpoint at Masjid Pengkalan Aur. Our next destination was the ‘Jubin Chin Tak’s’ arch. Before reaching the arch, we stopped by at Chee Leong’s dad workshop. Everyone had almost reached their limit. Furthermore, we haven’t taken our lunch yet. We were both hungry and tired. Chee Leongs’s dad bought us ‘seng ka teh’ for the 9 of us. It was so nice and cool. We took quite a long break at there in order to recuperate our fatigue. We got back to business after 20 minutes of rest. After completing our task at the arch, we headed to our last checkpoint at Balai Polis Aulong. . We were the 2nd troop by then. The Hua Lian troop was very far away. So we decided to take our sweet time. Along the journey, I could still remember that me, William and Govir were singing Simple Plan and the NTV7 theme song. It was so nice then. I had completely forgotten the pain on my shoulder.

This is where the story starts to get interesting. After such a long walk, (we were at Kpg Boyan by then) some of us were feeling uneasy. Why? CSP is the answer. CSP stands for ‘Cock Side Pain’. Got it?? This was due to the friction between the thighs and the crotch. The sweat accumulated around that area also proved to be one of the factors affecting it. The name CSP was created by William after he faced it during camping in 2004. Our leader was having hard time facing it. He had to walk in ‘kangkang’ position to make him f eel better. The way he walked was so funny. We were laughing all the way. To add in more laughter, there was a car coming behind us. Out of a sudden, the driver shouted at our leader, ‘Oi!!! Ketua jalan macam kangkang r?? . Buat malu je!’ Instead of scolding back the driver, we were all bursted into laughter.(now u understand why I do not want to write his name) We just could not control ourselves. Tears were flowing down on our cheeks. Finally we reached the last checkpoint. We hurriedly complete the task and headed to the Aulong Restaurant to have our lunch. I ordered 2 plates of ‘wan tan mee’. It was so delicious. We bought some ice before we left the restaurant. Our pit stop was at Tn. Husni’s house. Along the journey, we keep putting the ice at our private parts hoping that it will relieve the pain. And guess what?? It worked!! Our leader was so happy that time.

Finally, we managed to reach Tn.Husni’s house. As expected we were the 2nd troop to arrive there. Luckily no one was in injured during the expedition. This journey not only test our endurance but also our friendship and leadership as well. I am very glad that I am apart of the troop. What maters the most is that we manage to complete the expedition not as individual, but as a team.

Episode 24: Good News and Bad News

2008-11-25T19:25:00.000-08:00

Good News

Wa Seh!! SPM is going to end soon! I am sure that everybody will be looking forward for that day to come. Furthermore, I will be also getting a PSP for my belated birthday present, thanks to my beloved mum, grandma and also my aunt. You guys the greatest. Love you all forever.

Bad News

All good news must come with bad news. The 11 of us comprising me, Xian Yung, Foo Mun, Kenny, Kok Leong, Joo Gin, Chee Leong, Jason, Seik San, William and Soon Cheon are going to participate in the Starwalk. I was so happy because I finally able to visit Penang. Believe it or not, I’ve never been to Penang before. To be able to participate in this prestigious event is such a great honour for me. Imaging participating in a walk with almost 5000 people taking part in different categories. But my joy never lasted long. Before trial, I’ve been facing problems with my leg. Whenever I went for a jog, my leg started to pain. There was one occasion where I decided to ignore the pain. I continued to jog even through the pain was great. When I reached home, the effects of the pain was greater. I did not tell my parents as I don’t want them to worry. I only told my parents last week. They brought me to Dr. Kong. He checked my legs to see whether there is anything wrong with my bones. Luckily he said nothing wrong. He suspected that there are some torn muscles in my legs. I asked him whether I could join the walk or not. “If after 2 weeks your legs still hurt, then must withdraw from the walk. From now you are not allowed to jog after 2 weeks. If the pain still wont go away, then you must take X-ray.” he said. That bad news totally crushed my dream of joining the Starwalk. All I can hope is that both my legs would be completely okay before the race . What a disappointment.

Episode 22: Memories [Part 1]-SGI Class of 08'

2008-10-22T01:29:00.000-07:00

This year will be my final year of schooling at SGI. Just around 2 more months, I am gonna bid farewell to my alma mater (if I am not continuing F6 la). I bet once we got our SPM results next year, some of my friends will further their studies at oversea or somewhere else. This means that I will not be able to see my friends for a long time. This is heartbreaking for me to see my fiends leave. I mean, who wouldn’t want their friends to leave after 8 years together? There are some of my friends I’ve together since primary school. And some of them have been together with me since kindergarden. I really hate to see them leave.

Bygone Days

Whenever I am bored or not doing anything, I like to reminisce the past especially during my youth era. I couldn’t agree more that the period of a youth’s life is an important aspect foe everybody. Why do I say that? Youth is the time where most teenagers spend their time with their friends. From my experience, my youth make me realize that how precious it is a friend to me. It is like a rare gem that no amount of money can buy it. Writing down my past is not an easy task. Even when I am writing this post, I keep recalling the memories as if it just happened yesterday. There is so much to write about. Every second I spend with my friends is so precious.

Scouting

My primary school memories is so beautiful. I had so much fun with my friends. For example, me and my football buddies would play football once we reached school in the morning. The badminton court was our field. We would fill our ball which was a mineral bottle either with sand or water. During recess time, we would play ‘bola chop’, ‘pepsi cola’ or ‘lemon’. We would everywhere like mad fellars and sweat like hell. If there was teacher in the class, we would play ‘eraser game’, ‘bottle cap game’ I hit you, you hit me game’ or just reading comics. I must admit that I was once a lazy bump during primary school. As result, I was always punished by teacher. The punishment I could forget was done by err….. is it Pn.Fazilah her name? She liked to pinched students belly and pusing-pusing it . No wonder she was called Pn.Godzilla. Lol. Some teachers would call the lazy bumps to ‘ketuk ketampi’ in front of the class. Still remember Pn. Dalina? That fearsome teacher that caned anyone that she beh syok one. Hell, she like one tigeress only. 24 hours non-stop scolding 1. Towards the end of secondary school, I am really sad to see that my friends going other school. I still remember some of my old pals. They are:

Thum Jason the Picasso
Jason Kok the spectacle boy
Salehisyam the badminton star
Taufik the next Malaysian goalkeeper
Hanif the Detective Conan freak
Satish Nair the Roberto Carlos

La Sallian Convention

In the beginning of secondary school, I am happy to see back my pals such as J.Lew, C.Ren, William, and E.Wei. They left SGI primary school sinceStd.2.One thing I don’t regret the most is joining the O1 LMS Scout Troop. I had so much memories with my fellow scouts. The reason why I can become a senior is because of my fellow friends. Although we had so much hardship to endure but it was worth it. We faced so much obstacles throughout our 5 years of scouting. But ultimately we did it all as team. I am glad that I am a part of it. As time goes by, I felt the bond between me and my classmates is getting stronger and stronger. We always hang out and have fun together. One of the best memories with my fellow friends is during my b’day party. The pictures taken are so meaningful to me. Everytime I glanced at those pictures, tears were flowing down my cheeks.

My BirthDay Party

Those precious moments make me feel that I am not alone. My friends are like a pillar that I can count on when I need help. Whenever I recalled back the past, I couldn’t help but to shed a tear. I wonder how fortunate I am to have this kind, humble, helpful friends. I sincerely thank GOD from the bottom of my heart for giving me such nice friends. To my friends, I thank you for acknowledging me as your friend. Thank you for being with me the whole time. I couldn’t ask for more. I will cherish those beautiful and precious memories till the day I die. I would like to apologized for my rude words, actions and behavior that might hurt some of you. I really didn’t mean to do it. Pls forgive me. I hope that each of my friends will be bless with great health and longevity. Take care my friends!!

But not everyone is happy as I am about the news. I happened to know the news when Chee Leong send me the link a few days ago. At first, I was exited about the news. But as I scrolled down, there were tons of negative remarks about their latest album. I was devastated. I really don’t think they deserve such horrible remarks. Indeed GG had involved in big troubles a few months ago. After all, they do apologized about their misdeed rite? Just let bygones be bygones la.

Anyway, I wish GG best of luck for their latest album. I hope that this album will be a hit at Korea a soon as it release.

Girls Generation
HWAITING!!!!

Note: “Hwaiting” in Korean means fighting. Korean ppl like to use this phrase to drive them to succeed.

Episode 20: Taiping Sentral: Dull and Boring

2008-09-29T04:16:00.000-07:00

Over the years, Taiping had a massive transformation. From Fajar Kamunting to Giant and from Tesco to Taiping Sentral(TS). Taiping is no more an unpopular city to visit. The birth of TS has made Taiping a hot and popular city. Kenny Rogers, Sushi King, Starbucks, Cineplex… you name it all. In the early 90’s I can still remember that there were only two shopping complex:- Fajar and The Store.

First of all, I would like to congratulate the management of TS, because Tpg finally has its own Cineplex after 15 years of absence. Furthermore, I am truly grateful that Tpg has such popular food outlet such as Kenny Rogers and Sushi King. Moreover, there is also a mini stage located at the center of TS. Kids as young as 5 can show of their talent by singing, dancing or playing musical instruments.

Now, let’s go straight to the point. My description about TS surely makes you think that it is a perfect place to go. As for me, I don’t think so. I would say that TC is dull and disappointing. Don’t get mad at me first. Please let me explain why.

Do you noticed the shops at TS? Do you know that majority of the shops are selling clothes, cloths, and shoes? I know that those three things have a high demand from customers. So its not wrong to have a few shops of it. But, its awfully too a lot at TS! TS is not like Midvalley Megamall at K. L. Midvalley is big and spacious. So it can afford to have many shops selling clothes. Too many clothing and shoes stalls will definitely makes TC a dull place to go. TS just do not have enough variety. Take a look at Tesco. Although Tesco is not as popular as TC but people still goes there. Why? Because Tesco has a lot of variety such as bookstore, game shop, playground, and etc.

As you all know Starbucks is indeed a popular coffee shop throughout Malaysia. But not at Taiping. The price of one cup of coffee is almost equivalent to my one day of food expenses. Of course the reason why the price is super expensive is bcause the coffee beans used is imported. Hey, here is Taiping la! People with low or average income will just come during the festival seasons. And in ordinary days, people will just come once a blue moon. As a result, Starbucks will have any income. This will eventually lead to bankruptcy. Another reason might due to high rent. So, to sum it all Starbucks can only survive in a short terms but not in long terms.

Instead of having majority stalls of clothes and shoes, why don’t a bookstore a TS? Maybe MPH or Kinokuniya, since Taiping do not have any major bookstore other than Popular. I’ve been to MPH and KInokuniya, and there are all sorts of books in it. If you are a bookworm definitely you wont stop going to TS. I am sure that it will attract more ppl to TS. When TS was building, I really hope that it will have a major bookstore in it. But it turns out to be a no to me. (Sob). I am really disappointed.

Teenagers these days just couldn’t live without technologies. So why don’t a computer or camera shop opened at TS? Although I’ve been there for 5 times, I’ve yet to see one. Who doesn’t like video games? As you all know, games has made a big impact in teenager’s life. Since PS3 already launched its campaign in Malaysia, I wonder why TS do not have any video games shop? If there is a video shop selling PS3 at TS, it will sure be a hit among video game freaks.

Another reason why I say that TS is dull because it does not have any souvenir shops. Shops selling souvenirs definitely can attract customers especially teenage girls. As you all know that teenage girls really like stuffed toys, key chains and other cute stuffs. Moreover, visitors from other place that come to TS can buy souvenirs for their loved ones, relatives and friends. Last but not least, why don’t a playground be opened at TS? Take a look at the playground at Tesco. Everytime I went to Tesco I would see that the playground will be full of kids. From what I observed, the food court at TS is always empty. Such a big space wasted! A playground for kids definitely completes a perfect picture of TS.

People going to TS mainly because of the presence of Cineplex and other popular food outlets. I really hope that in the future, TS would be having those attractive stores. I would like to say sorry if my negative remarks about TC has provoke or hurt you.

Episode 19: TVB Drama Rocks!!!

2008-09-25T21:41:00.000-07:00

Goodbye Korean Drama and hello TVB Drama!!! These days I found myself very often watching Hong Kong (HK) dramas. I found out that the plot was so nicely constructed and the actor/ actress had done a superb job. Its been a long time since I really watch and follow the entirely episode of one drama. Mostly I would be watching Korean or Japanese dramas.

My interest on watching HK dramas started when Astro On Demand channel was introduced to Astro. There are over 50 channels all of them, showing the latest HK dramas. There is this one channel advertising the current dramas that are showing (Channel 303). One day while I was watching KBS World (Channel 303), I accidentally press the number 302. I did not even know that channel exist. At that time, the channel was advertising a drama called ‘The Seventh Day’. I thought it might be a good idea to watch the thriller since I have nothing to do. The channel was previewing episode 1 of the drama. I did not hesitated to watch it.

After watching…. WOW!!! Its so darn nice! No wonder HK dramas were so popular among my friends. As I say, the plot was amazing and the characters played a fantastic job. From then on, I started to develop an interest to watch HK drama. Sadly, I can only watch the thriller and advertisement because my dad did not subscribed the package (Channel 901-950) . In order to watch it, I had to purchase the drama (sob).

Below are my favourite HK dramas (for now la) and I decided to watch it after SPM…..

Episode 18: Big Bang-Haru Haru

2008-08-16T02:00:00.000-07:00

After jogging with my pals in the morning, we headed to the Prima Kopitiam. As we started talking, Chee Leong told me that Big Bang had released their latest mini album. (Guess I am outdated) He told me that one of the track called ‘Haru Haru’ was so nice. He also said that the MV(music video) was so touching as two men fighting for the same woman. Aiya.. you will understand once you watch it. So after I got back home, I went to the internet to watch thr MV. Guess what? I was so dazzled by it that I watched it thrice.

Great job Big Bang. You just got two thumbs up from me.

Episode 17: What A Nite

2008-08-06T03:26:00.000-07:00

Yatta! After a few persuasions, my father finally allowed me to go to the Prefectorial Farewell Party. I kept telling him that this is a formal party and this is the time to bid farewell to my prefect post.

“Make sure you’ll be home by 10.30pm.” he said.

As I reached there….Wow!! Everybody was in their formal attire as if they were attending a wedding ceremony. Some of the U6 guy prefects were so ‘yeng’ whereas the U6 girl prefects were so elegant and beautiful.

Well the first thing that comes in my mind was “How lucky I am to attend this party”.

Oh boy! How wrong I am to think that!

Well, it was fun in the beginning. The EMCEE had done a great job. The slide show was nice. (but it was too long!!). Then came our dinner. The meal for the nite was karipap, popiah and McD.

After our dinner, some of us managed to watch Teik Loon’s “spectacular” performance. I don’t really understand why he would want to break the brick with his hand. Maybe he wanted to proved to us that he is a taekwando expert. Anyway he was not able to break the brick after 2 attempts.

Around 9.15pm was the newspaper game. To cut it short Chan Leong, Kenny, Joo Gin, and Chee Leong were in a group, going to the final competing against an all female group. During the game Joo Gin had to carry the other three. Kenny was on his shoulder, Chee Leong was on his back body and Chan Leong at the front. Sweat was dripping all over his face as if he was trying to overcome constipation.

After that was the activity that completely destroyed my whole nite. Chan Leong, Ashley and a few others were called to the back stage to prepare themselves for the ‘catwalk’ competition. So to entertain us the one who was in charge of the program simply picked some of the audience to sing. Some of them only sang a few lines of the song. It was so freaking boring. And the best part was the song was a in Tamil!!

Next was the performance from a F4 prefect. He was planning to dance. Here comes another Tamil song. The next thing I am looking was a boy dancing to the left and right, swinging and clapping his hand, shaking his head, blowing some kisses to the judge and he eventually fell down.

What a “superb” performance. Do you know what Kenny told me?

“He kena sawan babi already. Would someone bring the tranquilizer please?”

I called Xian Yung to see whether he will be coming or not. He told me to tell Chan Leong that he will be coming. So I ‘mar’ go tell him lo. As I was looking for CL,Mugilan told me to get back to the hall. I kept telling him that I hv something to tell CL. Then came the Gan the current head prefect. Once he saw my face, he immediately told me to get lost. I was so pissed off that I immediately left the party. Is how the organizer treat the guest? What if there was an urgent news for CL? The failing to pass an important message would certainly cause troubles to occur. Then at that time, I would be in hot soup.

I called my mum to fetch me. I feel so disappointed and angry. As I reached home I said to myself....

“What A Nite”

Episode 15: Laughter Is The Best Medicine

Several cannibals were hired by a big corporation. “You’re part of the team now. Please don’t ruin things by eating any of your colleagues”, said the CEO.

The cannibals promised, but a month later the CEO came to them. “Everyone is happy with your work. However, one of our secretaries has disappeared. Do any one of you know what had happened to her?”

The cannibals shook their heads. After the boss left, the leader turned to his tribesman and say, “You fools! For weeks we’ve been eating managers and no one noticed. Who’s the idiot who went and ate the secretary?”

An elderly father noticed his son’s Viagra tablets in the medicine cabinet. “Could I try one?” he asked.
“Sure,” his son replied. “Bt make the most off it. Each of those pills costs ten dollars.
His dad was shocked by the price. “Don’t worry. I’ll pay you back.” He promised.

The next morning, the son found an envelop under his breakfast plate. Inside was $110.
“But dad,” he said, “That pill only cost $10.”
“ I know,” his father said, smiling. “The ten is from me. The hundred is from your mother”

A doctor dies and goes to heaven where he finds a long line at St.Peter’s gate. As is his custom, the doctor rushes to the front, but St.Peter tells him to wait in the line like everyone else. Muttering and looking at his watch, the doctor stands at the end of the line.

Moments later, a white-haired man wearing a white cloth and carrying a stethoscope and black bag rushes to the front of the line, waves to St.Peter and is immediately admitted through the Pearly Gates.

“Hey!” the doctor shouts. “How come you let him through?”
“ Oh,” says St.Peter, “That’s God. Sometimes he likes to play doctor”

A fellow went on a business trip with his boss, the cheapest man alive. One nite the boss was late getting back to the hotel. He said he’d met a young lady, they’d gone out and then he dropped her at her hotel. “Was she pretty?” the fellow asked.

“Was she?” the boss replied. “The entire cab ride to her hotel I could hardly keep my eyes on the meter.”

Have you heard of the cannibal
who loves fast food? He ordered a pizza
with everyone on it.

Episode 13: Happy Birthday Pn. Susila!!!!

2008-07-25T18:19:00.000-07:00

22nd of July marks Pn.Susila our beloved teacher birthday. So we planned to throw surprise birthday party for her. Well the one who suggested the idea was Siva. We were having a hard time choosing the most suitable cake for her. This is bcause all the cakes on the pamphlet from Secret Recipe were so marvelous. I could remember Kenny suggesting to buy the Batman cake or Power Puff Girls cake. One of the students in my class, well my friends you know who rite? The richest bugger a.k.a ‘Money Waster’ brought a necklace with a diamond hanging on the center. You better believe it…Its real diamond!!! Moreover, it is made by platinum. And the best part is, he told us that he brought it for RM7000+!!! Would u believe this crap?? Holy shit!! I could use this money to modify my car until it can fly already la. Later on we found out that it only costs RM700+. I guess he lied to us is bcause he wanted to jaga his standard as a rich bugger. In Chinese they call it ‘oi min’ means want face.

Finally the day arrives. The party was celebrated on the last period. During the last three periods, everybody was preparing for the party. Almost everyone had their own things to do. Kendrick and Poh Harn going up and down buying stuffs. The Apache Sereng Boys busy blowing balloons and hang them around the class. Two ‘Mavi’s busy writing lyrics and practice in their guitars. And Kenny was stomach-aching. His face was so pale that time.

When the clock strikes 12.30pm, Arun our ‘umpan’ find Pn.Susila and told her that there was a fight in our class. This is to lure her to our class. Upon reaching the class, the Happy B’day song was sung and Poh Harn gave beautiful rosses for her and everybody clapped hands. Overwhelmed and touched is all I can say from her expression. She then cuts the cake and everybody sing the song again. After that the ‘Mavi’ s sang a song called ‘Suziela’. She was so deeply touched and nearly cried. After the celebration we all vowed that we will scored A’s for P.Moral subject.

Episode 11: "Step by Step-Battle"

2008-07-16T01:23:00.000-07:00

Battle (배틀) is a boy band group that debuted on December 17, 2006 with the release of their first single "Crash". They are most popular for winning the popular reality show, Let's Coke Play! Battle Shinhwa! The members include Ryu, Taehwa, Lio, Shin Kihyun, Chris, and Hwichan. The members participated in the popular reality show, Let's Coke Play! Battle Shinhwa!, hosted by the members of Shinhwa themselves. The show was sponsored by Good Entertainment, M-NET and Coca-Cola. The boys, total of six, were hand-picked particularly by each of the Shinhwa members. They were chosen because of their singing, dancing, and endurance skills. The six boys are currently doing vocal training under the management Good Enter. While Kim Jang Hyun was picked during the course of the show, he decided to leave to continue with his studies. Dongwan, the one who picked Jang Hyun, had to repick and chose Hwichan. It is said that they were going to be the next Shinhwa, the word meaning legend or myth.

Their first single was "Crash," a song with a strong guitar and drum accompaniment. The music video was very dark, with the members all destroying various objects such as T.V.s, cars, etc. However, their second single "Tell Me! (Mal Hae)" was very different, featuring the boys in pink and singing to a light, catchy melody. These two singles represent opposite sids of Battle, because, as they said, they wanted to portray a different image of themselves

Episode 07: 'WHAT IF....'

2008-07-12T21:08:00.000-07:00

After coming back from school, I quickly took a bath and had my lunch. I needed to be quick bcause there are tons of homeworks waiting for me. If I cant get the job done, then I am deeply in hot soup. (especially Miss Atikah’s work)

When I was doing my Bio work, I was stucked at one question. So, I immediately searched for my reference book at the shelf. As I was searching , I noticed some magazines on the 2nd shelf. (Bio 1st shelf, Mag 2nd shelf). To my surprised, it is comics!!!! Not Naruto, Bleach or Dragon Ball bt it was MARVEL COMICS which my father brought long time ago. My dad used to be a die-hard fan of it. After flipping those pages… WOW!!!! The illustrations were so fantastic and superbly cool. It is so ‘keng’ until I forgot do my work. It definitely brings back my favourite superheroes such as Spiderman, X-men, F4, Punisher, Daredevil and etc. No wonder Stan Lee is a legend. But what caught my eyes was the ‘WHAT IF’ comics…..

‘WHAT IF’ tells you bout the story of superheroes which do not or will not occur in their chronicles. For example ‘What If Uncle Ben was still alive??’ ( In Spidey chronicles Uncle Ben was shot dead by a robber) It does not make any sense rite? So ‘WHAT IF’ tells you the consequences that might happen if the event were to occur. If Uncle Ben was still alive, then there will be no more Spidey. And you can expect Green Goblin, Dr.Ock or Venom to terrorize the town. Some of my best ‘WHAT IF’ comics are ‘What If Punisher Bcome Captain America’ and ‘What If Wolverine Led the Alpha Flight’

After reading those….a question suddenly popped out in my mind. Guess what is it??

‘WHAT IF TOMMOROW IS THE END OF THE WORLD??’

I started to think hard on it. What if it really happens?? You would never know rite? I started to think the causes. Alien invasion? Falling of meteors? Damn.. I really hope that doesn’t happen. Hey I still hv plenty things to do man. Bt if really tomorrow is the end of the day, then I must make a plan. The plan is…

1. Eat all my favourite foods. (KFC,McD,Pizza)
2. Listen to my SNSD songs.
3. Hug and say goodbye to my friends.
4. Tell my girl hw much I loved her.

And last bt not least…

5. Tell my parents that I am proud to be their son.

After that I would start the engine of the car, switch on the air-con and sleep till tomorrow.

After fantasizing all that.. I looked at the clock. Gosh!! It was 4.30pm. I started packing my tuition stuffs and headed to tuition. And guess what? I did nt get the job done. As a result, I ‘kena kow kow’ from Miss Atikah. This is just GREAT.
Recently in class. Kenny did asked the same question to me. ‘What If You Had Only One More Day To Live??’ My friends overheard that gave the their answes. Some gave funny answers while some gave nasty answers. To me… Well, tomorrow is just another day. Rite??

Special Episode: My Parents, My Heroes

2008-07-03T00:24:00.000-07:00

Who do we look upon as heroes in our daily life? Who is the one that plays an important role in each and every respective lives? For me, it is my parents. Of all the great men and women, why did i choose my parents? Well,the answer is very simple. Hey,where would I be standing now if not for their love, kindness, and virtues of life. I would like to share a story about my parents on how they have bcome the greatest heroes of my life.

In the 90's, jobs were hard to find as they wee limited back then. In 1991, my father got a job as a teacher of SGI whose income was only RM900+. Things started to change when I was brought to this world. My parents tried to make ends meet in order to provide us food and other important necessities such as dypers and milk. Furthermore, they even sacrifice their leisuring time just to take care of me. Taking care of me back then requires tremendous of love and attention. They never fail to accomplish that. What does this show? This shows that my parents would do anything to ensure that I would grew without any hardship.

I was enrolled to St. Anne kindergarden when I was 3 years old. By that time, I was too young to feed myself. So my father would every morning come to St. Anne just to feed me. I still remember that he always brought my favourite dish which is "Wan Tan Mee". Imagine going to kindergarden every morning just to ensure my tummy was full. After my parents have a stable income they decided to bear a second child. My baby brother was delivered in 1994. In order to provide us with easy life, my parents worked hard for it. As a result my father's salary was increased. This enabled him to buy a new red Proton Saga. Back then, not everyone can afford to buy a car. So, it was quite glamarous. Then came the bad news, I have a low body resistance against illments such as flu, cough and fever. I still remembered that one night I had a very high fever. It was about 2a.m. My parents quickly rushed me to nearest hospital. SO, until this day I'm very grateful to what my parents had done in the past.

As I entered primary school, life was getting easier for us. Yet watching me go through my 13 years of schooling as a mere stroll in the park. Some say that boys will be boys, but I'm more to that. For example, teachers will be always complaining about my talkative and cunning behaviour. I will be talking non-stop for the whole day. As a result I will end my day of schooling by standing outside the corridor. Things started to get worse when I started to defy my parents word or do anything against their liking. I will make my parents upset. When I was in Grade 4, I was involved in accident. During Sports Day pratice, I with my friends played "Police and Thief". When I was running, I didn't look in the front. As a result, my head knocked to 1 of my friend's head. That incident costed me my right eye. I was soon rushed to TMC hospital. The doctor reduce the swelling of my eye. So I had to stay in the hospital. Both my parents were devastated to hear that my right eye can only see 30% of vision. They were too disappointed to say anything. I wish I could turn back the time. But it's already too late. The rice had become the porridge. Now that I'm in Form 5, I felt that I have done a lot sins in the past. It hurts whenever those memories flashed in my hand. I regretted doing that. I would try to make ammends to all my mistakes and hope that one day I would make my parents proud.

Nearing adulthood, I realised that what my parents had done in the past were just for my own god. They have guided me to find the path where the light is shining in the deep dark sea. This makes me what am I today. I'm truly grateful to my parents. Whenever I reminisce the past I couldn't help myself but to shed a tear. I have realized what is the most important things in my life and I'll appreciate it till the day I die. No matter what you do or who you are, they are still your parents. Cherish every single moments with them as they will not be with you forever. To my parents, Mr. Hooi Kum Woh and Mdm. Juley, your sons hope that you will be blessed with great health and longevity. May all the good things happen around you and you will always hold a special place in my heart.

( I wrote this to appreciate my parents for the past 17 years. Thank you papa mama)

Episode 05: XY's Motto

2008-06-22T03:45:00.001-07:00

My friends, do u still remember what XY's motto for the past 5 years?? I hv made a research bout it. Lets see the results...

Form 1 (2004)
-Marvellous!!!

XY got 2 know this word after he had across it in an Eng textbook.

Form 2 (2005)
-Bakat
-Every1 is bakat,but u must remember tat Xian Yung is terbakat!!!
-Bak kata perpatah "Seorang Bakat tak semestinya Bakat, Bakat seperti Xian Yung mesti
Terbakat!!!!

This is the most famous word he used.. I guess every1 knew tat. The word bakat is often pronounced as "baka" by TCL which means "stupid" in Japanese..

Form 3 (2006)
-"You go away la. You go away..."
-"Le Ma Le..."

Form 4 (2007)
-"Aigoo..."
-PK
-PKB

The word means "haih" in Korean. PK means penkhianat whereas PKB means penkhianat besar.

Form 5 (2008)
-"U cn b more flexible a bit r..."
-"There's only 2 type of ppl in the world..."

Thats my results.. My frens, if u remember some do submit in. (XY pls dun angry...)

Episode 03: SNSD Says Sorry

2008-06-21T01:34:00.000-07:00

This is what SNSD wrote on their homepage after an incident which occur at Dreams Concert... SNSD chayao!!!!

To: Everyone who loves SNSD

Hello….This is SNSD.

This is the first time leaving a message on our homepage…
We should have greeted you earlier…TT TT

Since our debut…for the past 10 months…we received your abundant love, and worked hard and actively promoted till now. We believe that we were able to receive this big love due to the cheers from those who love us.

In retrospect, weren’t there a lot happy memories?^^
Our long awaited and dreamed of debut stage…the first fan meeting of our lives, after our first stage performance…the moment we broke down in tears after winning 1st place on a music program for the first time…winning the new artist award that we envied during our trainee days as other senior artists won them TT TT .. Starting with ‘Into the New World’, ‘Kissing You’, ‘Baby Baby’ until now..^^ Because we received so much love, we remained joyful despite our busy schedules.

For everyone who gave these gifts of wonderful memories, our…fans, thank you…^^

The past 10 months that we have ran without rest have remained as memories that we cherish…but looking back, there were moments that we regret…These regretful moments have made us more mature and come to many realizations..our inappropriate speech and behavior, misuse of informal speech on broadcast - we would like to send our sincere apologies to everyone who was inflicted with scars by these incidents. In the future, SNSD will be more careful in our speech and behavior.

Once again we would like to thank everyone who have believed in us and loved us..
For all our fans who cheer for us anytime and anywhere, holding those pink heart balloons..
We don’t think we can find any words that can express our deep gratitude..
To express our hearts..With more effort! With all our hearts! We will sing.

We are currently preparing to come back with a new image.
In order to give back to everyone who have shown their unchanging love for us, we are studying harder, and putting in more effort..please look forward to us~

Always stay healthy and happy!^^<3
