Episode 44- M-M (Part 1)

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.

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

Episode 43: Till We Meet Again...

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!!!!

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

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

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

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

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

Episode 40: Angels and Demons

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

“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: Outsider -Loner

Check out this Korean artist who is regarded as one of the fastest rapper.
