Earth Day 2009

As some of you may not know, today's the big day of Earth Day where it was designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's environment. Using the 5Rs above, let's celebrate it by planting more trees, reducing the use of plastic bags, car pooling/ cycling and buying green products like the energy-saving compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) to prevent golbal warming in the upcoming years.

Memories of "No Apologies" workshop 2007

Just finished sitting for my General Maths test this morning. The General Maths test for Chapter 1 is easy as that chapter was a revision from what I had learnt from SPM, whereas the Chapter 2 is medium as I'm still a lil' confused with the Business Maths. Overall, the test is ok so hopefully I can pass with flying colours.

Since I'm now taking a break from doing my Innovation And Change tutorial activities & English report, I decided to blog about the memories I had during the "No Apologies" workshop in my high school which was held on the 1st & 2nd November 2007. FYI, all the students of Form 4 in my high school must attend the workshop or we will be punished RM12 if we escaped. This workshop is a character-based abstinence curriculum that helps young people to make wise choices regarding high-risk behaviour, including sexual involvement before marriage.

Tyrone reciting a funny poem written by Matthew
My group's (consisting of Brian Eddy, Clement, Eugene, Franklin, Ashley Ho, Chang Mien, Danielle Zoe & I) play where Eugene played as a drunk driver who wanted to bring the passengers home after their party. I forgot what's the scenario in my group's play since I can't really hear what Danielle Zoe was saying. I looked & acted like a retard in the play since there's no script & I have no idea why my voice sounds deeper in this video. =.= Although it's not as funny as it seems, at least we manage to entertain the audience since we had just finished sitting for our final term exam.
This one is the funniest & the most hilarious play among all the groups. This group consists of Lawrence, Matthew, Tyrone, Rachel, Samantha Pian & Shi Yin. The scenario for their play is "Your BF/ GF has invite you to his/ her house after school. He/ she tells you that his/ her mother is home but when you arrived, you find that no one is in the house but you & your BF/ GF.". Tyrone played as a naughty character and Matthew played as the good one, while the rest played as the props.

That's all the pics & the videos I had. More pics can be seen in Ashley L's blog, so read more about them yea.

The past few days

My life in Swinburne KCH so far is alright. Although there's not much to talk about it, there's at least some Lodgians, a few of my old tution friends & my ex-schoolmate from my elementary school I met there like Agnes, Kelly, Hui Na, Sheryl, Charlene, Nadia, Andre, Joel, Desmond, Frederick, Ambrose, Morgan, Jeffrey, Norman, Wayne, Moses & Samson (just to name these few). Been busy with my Innovation And Change assignment for the past few days & I've just finished it yesterday as I had already passed it up. After the Innovation And Change assignment, I'll be having my General Maths test tomorrow from 10:00a.m. to 11:30a.m. & my English report to do this weekend which I have to pass it up on next Friday.

It's been 9 days since Aaron Teo's death & I had just recovered from my trauma. Looking back at my life in Lodge reminds me the ups & downs I had endured for the past 5 years. I now appreciate my life more despite the depression I had in Form 1. As what William Shakespeare had said in "Life's Brief Candle", life is short like a candle which can only be spent for a fixed period of time. Here are the pics I had with him...Form 1B (2004) with Ms. Lucilla Chin (FYI, he's the 1st guy standing at the back row from the right.)Form 2B (2005) with Ms. Emily JongForm 2B (2005)'s trip to Matang Wildlife ParkForm 3B (2006) with Mrs. Yap


That's all the pics I had with him where all of them above are my class photos. Life goes on as time passes. Gotta stop here to study my General Maths for tomorrow's test. Toodles.

99 Balloons + Easter Sunday 2009

Just recently watched Oprah from Hallmark channel on TV where tonight's episode is about the miracle kids around the world. The guest appearance in this episode is Celine Dion, who had published a book about the 12 amazing kids who are heroes in their life. One of the audiences found a very touching story in Youtube & it's called "99 Balloons". The 99 balloons represents the last 99 days of a baby called Eliot, who was born with an undeveloped lung, a hole in the heart and a genetic disorder called Trisomy 18 (a.k.a. Edwards syndrome) that placed faulty information into each and every cell of his body. Although Eliot can't talk since he died when he was only 99 days old, it's just so amazing & touching to see that his parents are so responsible, loving & caring to him but it's just sad for me to see him died at such a young age. Here's a video of "99 Balloons" below...




And also I'd like to wish everyone a happy Easter Sunday.

A tribute to Aaron Teo

I knew you when I came to Lodge in Form 1
Where we became classmates until Form 3.
Little did I know that you used to called me "ang mo",
In which I find that it silly & funny since I'm half Chinese & half Eurasian.

Although you can be naughty & mischievous at times,
You're helpful & friendly to help everyone out.
Although I seldom talk to you in class & in school since I'm the quiet one,
It doesn't matter 'cuz I accept you as a forgiving & kind friend of mine.

I thought I was dreaming when I received the tragic news from my family & my friends 'cuz it's just so unreal. I feel empty & heart-broken when I see sadness in blogs, Facebook & MSN. I'm still in disbelief, speechless, traumatised, grieving & mourning with the fact that you're gone 'cuz it's just too devastating, shocking & sad for me to think & talk about it.

I have so much regrets in my life. I regret not spending my time to get to know more about you when we were in high school. It just makes me realised how important friendship is in our life.

I'd like to say thanks to you for being such a great friend to everyone & just being yourself. I'm so sorry that I wouldn't be able to see you for the last time with your family & the rest of your friends tomorrow. You'll be deeply missed by everyone & may you rest in peace, my friend. God bless you.
