Interesting

This is quite interesting.

My CCAs, all of a sudden will clash on the same day.

Same which happened 2 weeks ago, and tomorrow.

Of course, the timing did not clash, if not I have no idea how am I going to deal with it.
Quite fortunate that it is well split.

Anyway, completing my economics tutorial. 1 more question for the Data Response Question!

I am leaving

I expect this post to be self explanatory.

I am just wondering why school just does not want to extend 2 more days of holidays.
Because of that, I can not enjoy some wonderful memorable experience that some of my peers, my family and friends would ultimately get.

Such a pity!

On the other hand, I will not miss any lessons! That is a bonus! Hope I will reap the most out of this two days, so I will not feel wasted from this two extra days of lessons.

Wish my friends and family a Happy Chinese New Year. I got RM410 for this year's new year!

CooL

All along I have been driving the 7 year old Proton Waja.



However, yesterday i drove the 2 year old Nissan X-Trail.



Oh my gods.. it was such a big big car....

Compare to the previous one, the latter is definitely a better choice. Although its size is much scary when driving through narrow roads.

The engine is quiet and smoother driving. WHoa... good experience of driving in just 1 month?

Craze Driving

I have been driving for the whole day!

Whoa! Damn exhausted!

To those who cannot drive: Do not envy me!

Back to Malaysia!

That's really right. I am home!
I admit that the trip was horrendous.
Real time traveling (real vs nominal - self explanatory?), the journey took about 12 hours. Why so long? OKay... I left boarding school at about 4.30pm and reached Ipoh at about 4.30 am, so according to real time, it is approximately 12 hours.

An interesting incident to note! A situation that I will never tried before, full with drama, fear and anxiety. Such a memorable experience, I am glad that I got to experience a tiny bit of that. I shall story it here.

I reached my auntie's house and ate our dinner there. Later on, we went down to wait for the bus 160 to the woodlands checkpoint. We waited for quite some time, never take note of the time though, but abnormally long. At last, the 160 bus came full with passengers, there are no more room for more. In my head, I was thinking, "Of course this would happen, its Chinese New Year, everyone is going back home." Fortunately I think, at least there is this 178 bus which can bring us to Kranji MRT, to switch a bus to the checkpoint.

Once we reached there, few buses came by, 170, 160, all filled with passengers. No second thought, I knew all will be full. Instead waiting stupidly hoping that a bus with no passengers, we went across the bridge to take the blue colour 170, which will bring us one round before reaching the Singapore border. We ran across the overhead bridge to catch up with the bus, hoping and praying that there are more buses to come. Luckily, we managed to board the bus once we reached there.

Proceeding on to the Singapore checkpoint, it was quite smooth i think, at least for the Singaporean queue, I queued that as I have the student pass which is equivalent i think. Anyway, the problem lies there down the escalator. I was shocked that it was like looking upon a million heads, the queue (to board the bus to malaysian kastam) was very long. We have no choice but to queue and waited VERY VERY long. Nevertheless, we did get up the bus.

I hate the Malaysia Custom, I queued wrongly, I have a word of suggestion that please do not queue at the automatic gate, because it is freaking long to wait there. Despite our bus was supposed to leave at 9pm, I am still there in my line at 9pm, I asked the people in front of me to let me pass first They replied, "Oh, haha, it wont make any difference anyway, by the time you reached there, the bus will be gone." Me being not aggressive enough, of course did not make a fuss about it, but to follow the line. Really wanted to say, "every second counts, who knows I can made it in time if you just save 5 minutes of my time?". Anyway, I got to respect them, and I waited for my turn.

We ran and ran, leaving the Malaysian Custom, we searched for two taxis to fetch the 5 of us to Larkin. Each cab cost about 25 ringgit. Jun Xiong and Hui Min, reached the place first, before me, Jun Teck and my aunt. I do not really know what happened back there as I was not an alibi. Based on listening and observing the tense situation going on, I think that my eldest cousin brother, stopped the bus by standing behind the bus, preventing them from leaving, while waiting for us to reach. Really need to be grateful towards him, I think without him, our bus could have left and I might be still stranded in Johor Bahru now.

Everyone is exhausted and noone dares to talk about it anymore, let the furious cool down and back to the normal state.

And yeah, I am lucky to be back home safely without much problem.
That is why, I think this is a good experience as I would never ever have the chance to try and would never want to try.

Happy Chinese New Year! By the way...

Yups!

Countdown to 3 more days!

What's going own after 3 more days?

HAHA! Yes, its Chinese New Year celebrations.
So???
What so special about this celebration??

Okay, for those who do not know. Actually, this is the first and probably the last time in celebrating Chinese New Year in Junior College with my dear classmates. Including preparing food for the flea market on Friday.

Wondering why? Last year I was not around during the period. I went back to Malaysia early, so I totally missed the fun. I am so glad that I still have the chance to experience the "unexperienced". HHAAHHAA!! Really hope that it would be as memorable and as fun as possible.

Besides, Chinese New Year around the corner, wish you guys a Happy Chinese New Year!!
By the way, I am going back to Malaysia, this friday and will be back here next wednesday.

In this post, I really really really want to appreciate my mum for searching a last minute bus ticket back to Singapore! Really helped me solved many problems, I even thought about this issue for a long time, almost affected my concentration in studies. Missing a day of lessons really would make me feel guilty and bad, so I wouldn't even want to come back a day late. Receiving lectures from teachers and mentors regarding this issue was distasteful, though I somehow managed to escape from it.

all e best!!

P/S: block test 1 timetable is out!! guys and gals, please plan your daily activities properly. coz, mine is a total mess....

Mug ? Play ? CCA ?

Study hard?
Play hard?
Work hard?

The key is strike the balance and weigh it.
Do the serious stuffs and know which is urgent at the moment.
Of course, you must not be too worn out.

I know my goal now.
And I have no reason to change it and I have my own reasons to do it.
For this first term, I am going to mug when I could and when I have time for it.
The purpose is to do well for my block test 1 on both before and after the March Holidays.
To me, this is a big thing, VERY IMPORTANT! This is the final chance of maintaining my scholarship. By the way, I am on probation now, in case for those who still does not know, and kept wondering why I became like a "mugger" and are unwilling to do any other stuffs other than studies. One more point to note, I do not like people say "you must also rest what....cannot everytime study, bad for your health" and stuffs; This is because I know it, but it is just for this term, if I don't do it now, I shall face the undesirable consequence. Let me clear my position of being on probation first.
P/s: I know how to take care of myself.

Juggling with lots of CCA requires much resilience.
Sometimes there were time you would just want to give up.
A word of advice, do not join so many CCA, I probably should have listened to my CT Tutor when he had shared his experience. But, mine was kinda different and I am trying to be someone in each of them.

PLay!!! I will play when available.!

Had not post for a long time dy....
Next post will be my trip in indonesia!!

New Year New Start

The year 2009.

2009 - 1991 = ??
Anyone know the answer?
Yes Indeed. The answer is 18.

Time flies, no, it glides through.
In no time, 18 years of my life has past.
18 is the first step into adulthood.
On probation? For 3 years?
Anyways, it is time to start being mature, think mature, act mature, feel mature.
Although I do not look mature (people always said I look very young - and I do not know whether it is a good sign or not), I must behave like one.

There are many many new challenges that I will face.
And I got to overcome it, but not running away.
Utilise the knowledge that my parents had gave me
Use it logically and at the right time
Always remember the teachings and not to disobey

I wonder what will happen 18 years later.
Will I be there with a blink of my eyes?
18+18=36
A real adult, with a career and probably a family to take care of.
To ensure that it will work well, hard work have to be done for the next 18 years of my life.

What's my ambition? What's my wish? What's my goal?
I am utterly speechless.
No idea in mind.
I hope someday it would come by.
*Totally no idea what I am talented in, where am I heading, why I chose to, how am i going to acheive it, and who gave me the inspiration*

This year, important?
'A' Levels ahead of me. Is it important?
It can be important, it also can be not important.
It depends on what and how you think about it.
Is it important to get full 'A's, all distinction? No.
Is it important to get all credits? No.
Is it important to get all passes? No.
Is it important to acquire knowledege? Yes.
Is it important to apply your knowledge? Yes.
What IS important is that you learn and apply the knowledge, without the worry and anxiety of what the result is. The journey is the focus, not the result.
Why is it so? Sometimes, the result can be glorious, but the journey wasn't there, there are a million ways to acheive the result, but there is only one journey that is expected in you.
That is learning.
Without a good certificate, does not mean you won't succeed in life.
I am sure there are many other ways to be a successful person.
A good certificate allow you to help someone to make money even more.
A bad certificate might allow you to seek people to make lots of money for you.
Is successful equals to make big money? No.
So whatever it is, do not try to make you life so complicated and gloomy.
Live with it positively and happily.

~~
Education teaches you how to make money by acquiring knowledge and applying it.
However, education never teaches you how to let you money work for you.
Think about it, which one do you prefer?
of course you can have both.

Stars!

伍家辉


his singing is good. heard he wrote many songs for many singer artiste.
most importantly, he is a malaysian! malaysia boleh!
met him thrice.
first during his interview at the radiostation 100.3 FM.
Geng Whye took me along into the radiostation, watching and listening him being interviewed. First time, I stepped into the radiostation. Quite amazing.
And I am actually on air during the interview.
second, on the rehearsal.
third, on the day itself, wished him happy new year with a handshake!

刘耕宏


this guy here, has great muscles.
i took him to the toilet at macdonalds on the rehearsal day.
also shake his hand before he left the venue and wished him happy new year.
so sad that I did not take a photo with him.

Back In Singapore!

Though I am back in Singapore for a couple of days, this post was not posted earlier due to some connections difficulties.

Anyway, I came back on 29th December morning.
Many juniors asked me why I came back so early.
Because I came back to help out for the Countdoen concert organized by the Nee Soon South.

Attending the rehearsals and the actual event was fun, exiciting, challenging and of course fatigue. Standing, walking, running throughout really trained my body after such a long rest during the holidays.

I can say that this countdown event would be the most memorable countdowns I ever had. For the past 16 years, countdown was just a party for me, inviting guests and friends to our house, or going for parties in their's. Celebrating with family and friends. However, this time, counting towards a New Year to 2009 was totally a different experience. Instead of being a participant, I became a organizer.
Furthermore, it was placed in a concert setting.

I was appointed to be the "personal asistant" of this friend of mine, Geng Whye. Whatever tasks he gave me, I will need to do it. Following him around, learning new stuffs, understanding problems arises, this seems to be a movie that I usually watch, understanding adult behaviors and their working atitudes, people can become hostile sometimes, "arguing with police", whatever kind of societal interaction, has really amazed me much.

In addition to that, I met many different kinds of people. They are people that I would never meet in an ordinary life. They were radiostation DJs, Singing competition winners and runnerups, performers, movie stars, professional singers and many many more. Its really a drastic change of life that I experienced for that few days. Wishing them happy new year with a handshake was such a breakthrough in my life.

I will post more on the next few posts.!!
