Perak Matriculation College–The New Station Of My Life

2011-11-16T11:29:00.001-08:00

www.dicewithlife.blogspot.com

This is a spot just beside the Director’s House , a spot at which I enjoy spending my free time there,and have a crystal clear bird’s eye view of the entire college. And beyond that, the hills that stretch from East to West, embellished with lumps of clouds, or a thin layer of mist sometimes, certainly make it an amazingly wonderful picture of scenery. The cool air, the natural pleasant scent of the surrounding ,somehow, just magically soothe my mind. Magnificent.

Just not too long ago, I entered this Perak Matriculation College, the next stage of my education life after high school.

The period of transition in my life takes place here. In May, I was here, away from family and friends. My first time staying in a boarding college, and I would never forget how dependent I was during my first week here. I phoned my old and reliable buddies, one by one, and chatted up to few hours, despite the costly fees.

Who cares? I was so needy that time. Plus the fact that there is no Chinese from Kuala Lumpur.

No more a mummy’s boy, it’s time to practically learn what ‘independent’ really means. No one to wash up your filthy clothes. No one to iron your uniform neatly so you can go to school comfortably. No one to clean up your table after you mess it up. Everything is on your own. That moment , I started to appreciate. How wonderful my mum is.

The second week made my life better, sweeter. The night when all Accounting students gathered in lecture hall, all Chinese sat together and it was a warm night. In sight of Chinese, we were thrilled because we’re the RARE species. The striking difference put us together, exchanging phone numbers without shame, despite the fact that we only knew each other less that 30 minutes.

There are about 80 + Chinese here if the statistic given was not wrong. And we Art Stream has only 19 Chinese. A pity number. But we turned out to be more united and happy with this small number. With Henry leading the team, virtually at least once a week , in our lecture hall, things like biscuits, chocolates, sweets , cookies , mooncakes, and not to forget the Penang delicacies - 烧饼，马蹄酥 , kept us from starving. All these had to be done with a little modesty so as not to gain others’ attention.

Caught in act

So Chinese will without fail sit in a row in lecture hall, made stupid jokes while the lessons were dull, played handphone game (Fruit Ninja). These were done with our own risks. When lecturer approached us, immediately we hid everything and pretended, as if we’re a bunch of excellent students paying full focus on the going-on lessons. AND WE’RE .

Learnt Account in Chinese before exam? Yeah,since there’s some politicians claimed that learning in mother tongue is the most efficient way of study .

One benefit without a tinge of doubt of being in Matriculation is we can get to know people from different states in the country and when comes to holidays, we go for vacation in a big troop. Never did I join a 19 people trip until I’m here. The Penang trip was a blast, especially when we spent precious time having fun in living room until we’re so reluctant to go to bed. Until the clock struck 7 in the morning, we yielded to utter fatigue and slept for only half an hour and resume to our schedule the second day.

Penang Trip

And guess what! Our next stop is Ipoh, the day after MUET ends! =D

Relationship could be built through a string of activities here. Of course, the biggest event we’ve in college so far, the One Malaysia Lantern Festival , through which true qualities were tested. Being a leader is hard, and it’s even harder when you have to work with people when you have just first contact with. People with different personalities are here. Individuals varied with opinions, yet tolerance and the sense of acceptance brought us back together and minimized the flaws. Glad to have friends who willing to spend days and nights, doing jobs without hoping for any reward.

The event ended up successfully with our goals accomplished. People’s laughters and cheers mingled in the air. Non-chinese were open-minded and gave big support to this Chinese event and got to know even more about our unique festival. Most importantly, the event stood as a solid proof that we can get things done if we are determined to do so. The preparing stage might be exhausting, with some dedicated people sacrificed their slumbers, their precious time and energy, yet the result was a fruitful one. Hopefully through this event all Chinese spirits are rekindled and together we create another significant event in our last semester in college.

Birthdays are something we won’t miss out here. Since we’ve no family to celebrate birthday together with, friends replace their roles! In matric, we won’t take birthday lightly and hence, we organized it with creativity. Here I did learnt a lot of unique ways in creating suspense and surprise for the birthday boys and girls. And someone just like to play the music – Kiss The Rain when the main character was asked to deliver his birthday speech. And in this touchy-feely session, there were some of them near tears, or even drop tears ! Music may be the key culprit, but the most touching part is, those people who never forget your big days…

My high school, SMK Taman Connaught is a government school but we’ve a huge number of Chinese students. And I knew little about Malay culture until I’m here. Before stepping into this college, it never came to my realisation that Malay boys and girls are strictly prohibited from touching each other. Again, it’s a culture shock for me. Luckily I have classmates who are so friendly and explain their cultures and beliefs to me so that I won’t offend the majority here.

Trip to Cameron Highland

Having them as my classmates was fun. Quite often, they burst into laughter whenever I came out with broken Malay, but I did show improvement okay! They shared FAMOUS AMOS in class, and I brought them mooncakes in return. We went to trip together, worked on projects together. It’s a pretty good moment in my life, and I’m very comfortable with them.

However, seemingly endless assignments were given. No time for TV, no time for facebook and blog. This explains why I write such a lengthy post after having my blog abandoned for 5 whole months. We reap what we sow. We have a whole bunch of dedicated lecturers, especially Economy and Account lecturers here. Weekly presentation is a must. Works are given on a regular basis, but this serves with a purpose which is to sustain our college’s status as the best Economy result and the third best Account result among all Matriculation Colleges. ( If im not mistaken). Just feel so proud of it . =)

Figure out which are the lectures.

Being in Matriculation is a brand new experience for me. A new process of learning. Learn to armour ourselves with the ability to adapt to surroundings, the good qualities such as tolerance, hospitality, interpersonal skills that widen your circle of friends, and last but not least, the ability to endure coldness! It’s raining out there, still, we’re left with no other alternative but to take bath, and the water was so freezing cold !

Epic looks captured

Occasionally I will go back to my home sweet home. Home is always the best place. When the bus arrives at Kuala Lumpur, in sight of the marvelous skyscrapers , I have the sense of security with me. For there is where I’m born. East, West, Home is Best. Dad and Mum would definitely won’t harm me, thereby, I’m safe at home. And what more? My old friends who’re willing to spend time and left their assignments aside, drove to my house and brought me out for our mamak yamchar session , and fed me with pork! True friends are tested here. Distance never make us strangers.

The 23rd of every month is a significant day and we celebrate our anniversary months. Few more days will be 23rd of November, the 6 months anniversary. Few more months to go. And very soon, all these will be indelible memories in our own sea of history. =)

那些年，我们一起追的女孩

2011-11-07T10:13:00.001-08:00

www.dicewithlife.blogspot.com

搁下琐碎事务

花了两天把电子书读完

内心感慨无端

第一时间发了个面子书简讯给时汉分享读后感

却被我有限的词汇嗑住

词穷的我

除了一味地说好看、很好看

真的无法找另一些形容词来描绘

此时此刻难以形容的心情

这也难怪

谁叫我不是九把刀或柯景腾

《那些年，我们一起追的女孩》

这本书

掀起中学时段的回忆

让人回味大家

一齐念书、搞恶作剧

还有一连串的暗恋与明恋

让每一天的校园生活

在欢笑声度过

再化为永恒、令人回味无穷的记忆。。。

喜欢这本小说

除了喜欢里面那死心塌地的爱情

当然

也因故事与我们真实生活极为贴切

是典型校园故事的写照

每个人皆有自己所谓不平凡的校园记忆

但却不是每个人

都有丰富、引人入胜的语汇

唆使其他人阅读自己的真实故事

让“青春的洪水”淹没读者。。。

故事有多处吸引我的情节

其一，就是这个虽典型

但很能激起人们奋斗的情节

故事男主角柯景腾是个超爱说话

在班上爱搞恶作剧

把他置放在班上角落

他也决不向恶劣势低头

反而还跟“默不出声，却很有义气的墙壁”高分贝聊天

随后被老师排在沈佳仪前面座位

开始了这段长达八年的爱情

因为开始喜欢上沈佳仪

从全校四百多名前后徘徊

突飞猛进到了百多名

爱情的魔力

又把他再次推进红榜

也就是全校首六十

从以前要沈家仪督促他数学

到后来反而是他帮沈家仪解答数学题

就是单纯地

喜欢

把这位曾是成绩烂得透顶的学生

为了要拉近与女神的距离

努力向上

从差变好

所需的毅力及付出的努力很大

作者为了爱情

能够做到

恋爱不能与成绩差画成等号

一个人学术成绩的优劣

取决于自己是否可以自控

勤力、纪律、时间分配、啃书技巧、

再加上先天性的智慧

才是决定性的因素

所以各位封建的父母亲和校方

要阻止尚在念中学的孩子们谈恋爱时

请别有影响成绩这一类似的借口来打压。。。

读这本书前

听说结局令人失望

因为最后男女主角没像童话故事那么顺利

没能过着幸福快乐的生活

而读了整本书后

仍然觉得有点惋惜、一些无奈

但这就是整个故事经典的一环

令人情绪高低起伏情绪反复的一环

男生追女生的期间

为她送便当、送礼物、写情歌、唱情歌、用功陪她啃书

还滑稽地编了一堆奸计

让自己在情敌堆里

鹤立鸡群脱引而出

（还得意地问月亮自己是否很奸诈）

谈电话时还写了备忘录

才有更多的话题

还特别请了沈佳仪好友和姐姐充当军师

当中的追女孩方法多得可供男生参考

就这样彼此暧昧不清了八年

这最美丽的时光

但最后以泪水告终

男生的热血

被女生否定

男生办格斗赛被打伤

还兴致勃勃地致电给女方大畅被打得狗血淋头的过程

却换来女方的不理解

认为他幼稚

每个男生都希望在自己喜欢的女生面前

留下最完美的一面

这也解释了男女校的男生会比男校的男生

表现得更体贴更会照顾颜面

被女生否定的那一刻

正是最痛苦的时刻

男生热情分享

以为能博取注意喊痛取宠

却不受认同

男生决定放弃那穷追不舍的八年

八年的青春没了

断了情侣关系的羁绊

让这对好友后来没有顾虑地通电话

后来在夜空的陪伴下

才知道

原来女生早就非常喜欢男生

男生内心充满感激自己虽以失败收场

但八年的努力奋斗原来没被否定

虽然来得迟了但女生还是一一为男生解答以前追她时冒出的问号

情节令人痛惜

就是少了月老的红线

“也许在另一个平行时空，我们是在一起的”

无奈

明明相爱为何不能在一起？

因为男生坚守原则

因为另一个女生已进入了男生的生活

这就是柯景腾一旦爱了

就全力以赴

后来沈佳仪结婚了

与一个大他八年的人

柯景腾和其他以前沈佳仪的爱慕者皆出席

当晚男士们被允许亲吻沈佳仪

柯景腾却沉默了

他决定不亲吻新娘

他要让沈佳仪永远都记得

柯景腾是唯一没有在婚礼亲过她的人

就连这一点特别他仍然非常珍惜。。。

凄美的爱情

结局是喜是悲

就以个人不同的观点出发

世上无绝对

重要的是

男生的心态

男生有否从八年的青春有所领悟

就算最后无缘娶她为妻

但却能豪放地献上最诚恳的祝福

还细腻地珍惜每一个在她眼中的特别

这一点足以令人感动

这结局

虽凄美但有够真实

在我眼中

算是个好结局

“一场名为青春的潮水淹没了我们。

浪退时，浑身湿透的我们一起坐在沙滩上，看着我们最喜爱

的女孩子用力挥舞双手，幸福踏向人生的另一端。

下一次浪来，会带走女孩留在沙滩上的美好足迹。

但我们还在。

刻在我们心中的女孩模样，也还会在。

豪情不减，嘻笑当年。。。”

还有一个令我难忘的一点

就是那一段与猪朋狗友们一起胡闹度光阴的日子

作者肆无忌惮地写了中学叛逆期的恶习

当中包括比中指、一起开赌、爆粗、打机。。。

更过分地搞恶作剧

把装载着鼻涕的纸巾塞进别人裤带

却仍然在有难时互相帮助

这就是作者所谓的

“男人的浪漫”。。。

这是每一个人

在中学时段都曾共有的回忆

深深烙印在每人的脑根里头。。。

如今只能腼腆地说

往事不堪回首

几年后大家各奔前程

相聚的机会难得让大家更为珍惜

作者在书上就非常强调

各个朋友如何一起在爱情场上格斗

也不忘不时报告好友们的最新状况

但最后

大家在沈佳仪结婚典礼上共聚一堂

婚礼上充斥着欢笑

祝福的欢笑

回味往事的欢笑。。。

读这本书时有点矛盾

作者的恋爱观跟自己的

有点格格不入

但无论怎么样

还是赞成了这一句

“没有人可以替你定义你的爱情

勇敢相信自己的嗅觉”

话多了

反而反效果地让人累赘

就跟着那抽象化的感觉走吧

（这句话只适合某些在心智上达到一定成熟度的人）

这星期四将去观赏这部电影

希望不会令我失望。。。

P/S ：还好，多个月没上华文课，竟还能写华文，不错不错 =)

Goodbye, the saddest word to say

2011-05-22T12:42:00.001-07:00

It’s 2.00AM. Eyes are closing, calling me to go to bed. Still, I have to blog my last post before leaving.

Few weeks before, I checked my matriculation result at night , and “Tahniah” appeared just before my eyes. I was chosen to go for the government matriculation programme, which only takes a year to complete my pre-U study. It’s short , comparing to Form 6, but the bad news is, I have to give up my hope for going to oversea, for matriculation isn’t globally recognised.

Was struggling between Form 6 and private colleges before that. Now all the problems reached an end. U would never know how thrilled , excited I was, but I managed to suppress it by saying a “YES” , softly, in front of mum who was beside me.

Immediately then, I called up HongSeng, helped him with the checking, Texted WoanShian, ChingLi, SinTing. Disappointed to learn that no one got the offer. My cousin and primary school friends got it. But not to Perak. It’s fated. I have to be alone.

This will be the first time staying so long outside, alone, with strangers around. Mixed feeling filled me up and I felt sad all of a sudden….

I am leaving soon.

The next day , I bathed myself and sang one of my favourite bathroom-song, 祝你一路顺风 , as usual. And that’s the unusual part. I started to take notice on the lyrics while singing. And then, I started choking, and a twitch struck me, in my nose. Shit. I quickly washed out everything of my mind. Still there was some tears in my eyes and I managed to hold them back. I was near tears.

Don’t ever sing such song in bathroom again.

The days after that, I carried on with my temporary happy-go-lucky life. Never feel the sorrow anymore. There were so many events ahead, which I anticipated so much.

Malacca trip with Besta friends. ( I don’t want to say colleagues , sounds formal)

2 Days and 1 night trip that was enjoyable to the maximum. Crazy with all these people who are, no offence, 2 years OLDER than me .

Next, meeting up Pn Yeap, my dear coach . Ended up chatting for 4 hours, without fail. She’s even more excited than me while receiving my message telling her that I got matric.

A photo taken in Kuantan last year.

Next day, a small reunion with them at WongKok. WenHui, Selvina, Xiwen, and Sinting below.

Thanks Nicholas for joining too.

A card from them. No wonder WenHui was writing at the next table , and one by one was called there and wrote something. I was so dumb to realize that they’re actually writing their wishes on that piece of card. I swear I do not know they’re doing this and that’s really a great surprise.

I was asked to only open the envelope when arriving at Perak. Till now, I never opened it. I keep my promise.

The day after …

They told me they will arrive at my house by seven. So I vacuumed the rooms while waiting for them, and they gave unexpected surprise by coming an hour earlier! (Shit, I was half-naked that time)

Served them with my homemade pudding and dessert. I guess they tasted bad.

They insisted going to Korean Restaurant for dinner. And I followed.

Scrumptious dinner. Polite waiters that made me felt uncomfortable. I was never been treated so politely by waiter.

Wonderful pictures.

Back to my home at 11 and watched that foolish horror movie till 12. Then they left.

The guys , gave me hugs, before leaving. And suddenly, felt a quiver of sadness sent down my spine. Hugs. Physical affection. Reminding me that, I am leaving……

The last day of farewell, attended by a bunch of prefects, with Jonny did most of the organising part.

Wandered around to kill time while waiting for movie to start, with WoanShian, Chingli and GIgi, my loyal driver.

Lake Garden.

After watching Pirates of The Carribean (thanks Yow chun for the CocaCola) , headed to Lot 10 for hotpot buffet.

The prefects gang.

Fine RM5.00 for 100gm wastage. It’s fun while taking meat, veges , without knowing that we’ve limited space in stomach. Thanks to Joshua, for sweeping most of the leftover into his belly.

Chatting at dining table was fun. Listening to funny gossips was entertaining. I can still remember few of those sick jokes.

Had been mingled among prefects for 5 years, glad to know that the relationship built throughout years is still there, happy for the attendance of form 5 prefects, who turned up despite the mid year examination. Thanks for all who turned up, regardlss of the rumours saying that it’s the end of the world on that day. Keep in touch, hopefully…

“Once a prefect, forever a prefect” quoted from Mr John.

Fatigued. After attending so many farewell gatherings in few days.

I woke up at 11am the next morning, confused, with my eyes half-opened.

“How many days I still have in KL? One or two? “

One more, I realize. Heart throbbing in a faster pace after getting the right answer, and just felt very uncomfortable. No more dependency on friends to forget the fact that I’m leaving.

I know, I must face it. I closed my eyes, feel the terror, the anxiety, the fear of the coming. Some emotions squeezing my heart, I breathed deeply, and heaved a heavy sigh. Repeatedly. I was trying to figure out, why am I scared?

Scared of leaving home?

Scared of meeting new friends?

Scared of staying outside?

No.

I am scared of parting. My inner part of myself was supremely reluctant to say goodbye.

Some people said, “ Why we hold a farewell for you? You are not very far from us.”

That’s absolutely true. Plus with the fact that I am only studying there for a year, 11 months, to be more precise.

Yet I know, the Earth keeps rotating around its axis. People still keep moving on with their lives. Everybody soon getting their new friends, and the friendship that was once strong would not be so after the passing of time. Everything will be different , after a year. I am a sentimental person, I have to admit. I wasn’t like this few years ago. But friends around changed me to be so, touched me with concerns, encouragements, supports that seem to be endless. Now I’m leaving.

I tell my friends to be aggressive in making new friends. That’s what I want to tell myself. I want to tell myself, move on. Look into the future. Do not always cling to the old friendships and reluctant to go. I was the one who made a wish last year, in which I hope I can find a new gang of friends who share the same ideology and together we strive, struggle, battle for excellence. God granted me my wish.

Can sense the ambivalence in myself.

Goodbye is the hardest, saddest word to say.

I told my friend, “Forever Friend” doesn’t exist. Deep in the bottom , I hope it does.

A sincere gratitude to all who had helped me under no circumstances. I appreciate that very much.

Let’s move on.

Goodbye.

Back to School,eventually, after 5 months.

My first attempt–Pumpkin Corn Dessert

2011-05-03T01:46:00.001-07:00

Ok actually I love cooking. Especially when people praise me how good my dishes are and their positive comments blow me to Cloud 9. That’s why Mum said, my wife in the future, must be a fat woman , because of being my white lab rat and tries all my GREAT works.

I told my mum I will try and make some new dishes after SPM, but it’s just empty promise.

Last week, I had dinner with my buddies at Cheras Mahkota and we’re served with cold, refreshing pumpkin dessert. It was cool , and I think it’ll be pretty cool if I do it for my family. Ahh I was motivated.

My first attempt in making a dessert. I call it PUMPKIN CORN DESSERT. (Simply Because I added in corn. )

Boiled water and dipped the corns in it until it turned yellowish.

Cut the pumpkin into small pieces, then blend it.

See? I kept the skin. For decoration purpose.

Blended pumpkin and corn. Then mixed them and boiled.

Added in evaporated milk. You can add as much as you like, at your own risk.

Cane sugar. In chinse it’s called ‘yellow sugar’ too.

Stirred it. Then I added in Sagu (沙谷).

And then what I have to do was to wait, until the sagu turned transparent. Then it’s ready to serve!

Damn it. It looks more like an egg tart. What the hell?

Will get myself a better looking bowl next time.

Can be served as hot or cold dessert, as how you would like it to be.

___

Ingredients

Pumpkin - RM2.98

2 corns – RM 3.30

Cane Sugar ( a packet)– RM1.90.

Evaporated milk (a can) – RM2.60

Sagu (a samll packet) – RM0.60.

A dessert that costs you about RM12.00 ( ohh should be less than that, never finished using all the ingredients) and one and a half hour – This is my first time doing it and of course it wouldn’t be well organised, That’s why time was wasted.

Sigh. It’s done, eventually. It indeed brought me satisfaction but still, I don’t understand why is it appeared to be yellowish, instead of orange like what I saw in the restaurant. Plus, it’s watery. Damn it.

Ok this is my first time cooking. Do not have a strong feeling of happiness nevertheless and I wonder why. Perhaps it’s not as challenging as I thought.

I rate it 7/10. Well will try one more time some other day.

Hopefully have a chance to do it for my friends. HAHA

当代课老师的两天

2011-04-13T01:06:00.001-07:00

批改作业。。。

以前不明白为何小学老师们总是不苟言笑

板着脸进教室（搞得我当时怕得不敢上厕所，还患上上学恐惧症）

当了两天的代课老师谜团一一解开。。

星期一是我的第一天

周会时我就跟其他老师一起坐在台上

不习惯，不自在

副校长致词：“各位同学，今天学校来了两位代课老师，他们是XXX以及李景荣老师”

站起来鞠了个90度躬难免会有些尴尬

犹记得以往被老师称呼成李景荣同学 几年后竟然与曾教育我的老师当同事

听起来还挺荒谬

被安排教道德、生活技能、公民

我的第一堂课就在4H班脸带着微笑进课室

问题来了

深深地体会为何当初老师说教书会教到吐血。。

起立，行礼后班上同学继续胡闹跑的跑喊的喊哭的哭（望着窗外哭）

“老师，他跌倒哭！可是不用理他，他假假的。。”

“老师，他打我！ ”，随着就：“他打我先的”

“老师它指中指。。”

不知所措，我傻了一下 -- 简直就是典型的魔鬼班

我真的要喊了声音却卡在喉腔

大家都知道我善良可爱哪忍心大声叫骂？

忽然衣袖被拉了一拉

“老师，我可以上厕所吗？”。。

结论：我无法控制那魔鬼班

下课时我去向陈老师（以前的级任老师）诉苦

当小学老师也有其挑战性

我犯了最大的错误 - 带着笑脸进课室

结果被学生们欺负得头昏脑胀

爬上了头

当老师真辛苦

唉难怪教师这一行业被列为本国第三最大压力的职业。。

若现在给我写一篇小学作文

《。。。我终于明白老师的苦心了》

肯定能让我发挥得淋漓尽致

写满三页

刚巧六年级进行DIAGNSOSTIC 考试

除了监考之外曾经是学生的我也拿了位同学的考卷来看看

结果该同学的造句竟然是像一下的这样子：

”bbddaedee zyyuaaiillee hhwwee…”

我把它称为外星人字体

他脸上存有不好意思的表情望着桌子说：

“李老师，很难啊。。”

他的作文则是完完整整，一字不漏地，把问题抄下来。。

有点替他感到可悲

这是另一个同学的作品。 -- （mengoyakkan Malaysia Flag…)

另外一位呼噜大睡手握着笔头确是伏在案上的

所谓的“闭目养神”

他连名字都还未填上叻

这是一群六年级的学生

考完国文半小时后将是数学考试

我决定先不教书

跟他们讲解一下以后要走的路

其用意只是希望这一群被遗忘的

被放弃的焦羊能够在迷雾中早些寻找回自己的目标

在没有旁人的扶持下

自己就得先争气

我问他们，你们是什么班

有些说差班，有的答普通班

我告诉他们：” 你们并不差，并不普通，只是还未找到正确的方向，你们必须努力，要知道什么叫做 - 尊严..”

他们听得似懂非懂我真的希望他们真的会懂

考试前我教了他们一道数学题

（有点不务正业，明明是生活技能老师。。。）

结果考试时

真的出了！

他们笑着谢谢我无比的满足感涌上心房

当时的兴奋旁人无法理解。。。

第二天我又上4H班去

陈老师的方法果然奏效

只要凶一些就可以控制那班魔鬼

当然还是有一些讲也讲不听的学生

此刻藤鞭可以发挥它最大的功用

那猴子就是不啃坐下

功课没做我都算了还在那里捣蛋。。。

“你，手伸出来，快点！”

他开始害怕了太小看我了

没想到我也有凶的一面

但他始终没把手心伸出来

其实我知道就算他真的伸了

我也不忍心鞭下去

小小的手掌不好意思本人做不到。。。

在其中一班教生活技能

以前就在生活技能课偷做功课的我

对课程真的不了解

索性跟他们大谈历史

自我介绍时他们总是跟我们以前一样

对老师的岁数有极高的求知欲

跟他们分享一些中小学的经验

他们看起来真的很有兴趣

当然不忘鼓励他们切记要报考华文、劝他们努力求学，别因为成绩差而自暴自弃因为在中学，后来迎头赶上的，实在是太多了

然后给了些例子

证明“小时了了，大未必佳”的真实性

不要自满，不要自大

保持谦虚，才能获得更多。。

讲了老半天

忽然有人问：李老师你中学在那里？

我说：“康乐中学”

他竟然说：“那改次我也要去那里。。”

哈哈我也还真有魅力

这还不算夸张

6D 班还逼我留下非死不可网址

不留下，休想离开他们的班

几名男同学就拿桌子当着门口了。。。

好气又好笑

铃声后我进了6N 班

N 班是成绩最为优异的班

05年6N班的同班同学们这里想跟你们报告

6N 班依然是在第四楼

上楼梯后转左的那个第一班

因此当那位喷香水喷得超浓的老师上楼梯时

我们老早能意识到摆出一幅幅乖乖样

课室的摆设跟往年没多大的改变

只是壁画换了舟莺以前用的那班电风扇消失了。。。

一进班就有一股压力

言语上也多加注意

以前的6N 有十一位穿着浅黄色衣的巡查员

今年却有十四位紫色衣服的巡查员

卫生员也有好几个

还有所谓的数学人啊，华语人啊

依然保留

还记得我们的十八罗汉？

十八罗汉其实就是18 位男生

如今只有十三位

好可怜的数字

他们也非常谦虚

称自己为最糟糕的一班

一定又是被老师们这样子形容，而受影响的

像当年一样

看原来每一年老师就是这样欺骗6N学生

哈哈

看着他们思绪回到五年前

他们就像我们的影子

有点儿目中无人目无尊长目空一切

他们也带上紫色的Name Tag

想当年我们也是转眼间又轮了6年。。。

有点怀念6年前的6N。。。

我千吩咐，万吩咐他们

一定要好好珍惜这8个月相处的时间

将来每一年一定要来个聚会

就像我们一样

感情一定没以前那么要好

但至少还保持联系。。

巧遇谨旭

上了中学再回头望小学

真的有极大的不同

功课表里有十只手指，

甚至加上脚趾也数不完的功课

当我让5K班学生作功课时

他们还把我当神拜

中学时期？屈指可数。当然中学生也有自己的压力

90 巴仙学生遇到老师

都会弯腰请安

当我发问或要他们帮忙时

十多个手举了起来

让我慢慢挑

这是在中学里已绝种了的现象

在课室里

男生跟女生坐在一起

也不会感到什么不妥

换成是在中学肯定绯闻满天飞了

我不知道这是中小学文化上的差异所致

还是一个人步入中学后自然而然会收敛少许

这一回重返南强

不单只是我给学生们上课

也让我自己上了堂课

我的教学生涯到此告一段落

（其实，也只是那两天罢了。。。）

全班拉耳朵，想当年我们更够力，全班用胶纸封嘴！

3 Months in Besta

2011-04-04T10:40:00.001-07:00

Few days before my resignation day, I couldn’t help feel excited when I began to imagine how am I going to spend my holiday before my school starts. Yes . I planned trips to Perak, Genting , and even Malacca. Sounds amazing.

That’s my working place.

But when the time comes, the reluctance to leave made me a little emotional, especially when I just started to mix around with my colleagues, out together for tea , crapped during working hours, cracked cold jokes that actually warmed up the dull working atmosphere.

The delicious Vietnam food.

The supervisor and colleagues in Besta were really good in treating people, especially small kid like me. (I’m small in their eyes). They celebrated my Birthday at a hotpot restaurant. And just before I left, Malay colleagues brought me to Kenny Rogers, my supervisor and Boss treated me seafood steamboat, and my colleagues rejected my treat and decided to take me to Vietnam restaurant as my farewell lunch. And all these food, no doubts, successfully contributed to my gain in weight. And they are costly too.

Colleagues in Besta.

Working taught me a lot. It cruelly exposed myself to have a good view of all my weaknesses. My carelessness was one.It forced me to learn how to face the consequences with a positive attitude when I did something wrong. Also,I saw the systematic operating system of a company. I joined meetings and learnt how to be a good speaker that gives a good impact to employees. Just after 3 months, I witnessed my sudden improvement in management. I learnt how to use the computer better. I knew how to plan so time is not wasted. I know how to deal with different people while doing sales in schools!

First time to Pulau Ketam. Besta brought me there.

In conclusion, working indeed develops my personal growth and I assume that I will cope up with my works more easily in the future. Have to really thank my supervisor for being a good example and taught me a lot of stuff, including a good , clear presentation of work to set up of good impression of your own.

Pulau Ketam breathtaking scenery

Anyway, you will never imagine how thrilled was I in sight of the money in my bank account for the first month! Since we’re young, we always ask for money easily from our parents, never knowing that how hard they earned it at the expense of their time, energy , or even health. When you got your own money, you make a second thought on the things you want to buy. That makes a distinct difference, between the basic needs and the luxuries. (But I will never be thrifty when comes to travelling xD )

See how I messed up the meeting room

Owning purchasing power is fun. That means I got financial freedom and I do not need to get a nod from my parents temporarily whenever I want to buy something for myself. By owning purchasing power, shopping isn’t that bored compared to the past. I hated shopping last time for I knew I’m not able to pay for the goods. I got cash in hand now so I can spend. And I realise how good is it to have A LOT OF MONEY. With the little pennies I have now, I am restricted to only a few choices. That means I have to work more to get more money, so I get to buy things I want. It means that by only having enough knowledge, only I can have a higher qualification to get a better job, so I get more money.

After working, it makes me realise the importance of study better. Have a strong eagerness to get back to school right now. Yes . Money isn’t everything, but the importance of money remains unquestionable.

Doing promotion in school.

Thank Besta for exposing me to all the things I have never even encountered before. I admit that I was a little reluctant to go at the moment I removed my tag, giving back the key and the company mobile phone. But I will think I will never back to Besta for part time job again though I had my happy 3 months there. I am still young and will try different things in the future. More challenges await me and I believe there are still a lot more for me to explore.

Launching of Besta new Model – CD 737 in Sunway Pyramid

Will always support Besta . Besta best. Better than Apple Tree for sure. Haha.

SPM 成绩放榜 - 感想

2011-03-25T08:52:00.001-07:00

没有目标的人有如行尸走肉

所以在SPM成绩放榜前立下目标要拿至少8A+

我担心担心若成绩欠佳

会被别人说闲话

我非常介意别人对我的讲评

成绩出炉那天回到了母校

我班第一名的母亲难以压抑不愤的神情冲着过来

因为她的宝贝只拿6A+

我傻了一眼但希望之火未被扑灭

笑盈盈地排队

也感谢她在我领成绩时像当年一样

站在我身边。。。

发觉到手在颤抖冒冷汗

心跳开始加速

轮到我了

围观者突然多了起来

我脸依然挂着勉强挤出的笑容

笑容的确有帮助于减轻压力

结果成绩拿到手了

我难以掩下失落的表情。。。

有人欢呼有人开始细细小语

老师朋友家长都看看我的成绩

不知我者说我不知足

知我者纷纷跑来加以慰问

我承认那一刹那间是有点难受

毕竟寒窗苦读十多个月

总会有点野心

她又把我拉到后面去替我分担心里的不快

我开始诉苦了

我抛出许多的为什么

为什么这科信心满满却只得了A-

为什么这科考不上A+

大吐苦水后

我画上的结论是：

我努力不够下次再努力咯

她说：你又来了

我依然走不出自己给自己的诅咒

其实我并不是没曾努力过

要同一时间兼顾学业与课外活动

我也熬了过去

只是我一定要为这次的失败找个能信服自己的借口

好让自己好过些

她让我相信：

每一件事情的发生是老早已经安排得妥妥当当

是要我们从人生的起起落落

学习应该在这辈子学习的东西

成长

这一次

我学习到的是：

努力与成果之间

没有个决定性的等号（=）

没人可以说只要你努力

你一定能成功

我们只能说

你一定要努力

我已履行我的任务事后

其他的就已不在我管辖之内

若成绩不理想我容许自己伤心

但决不会自暴自弃

要相信

每一样事情的发生

都有值得我去学习的价值。。。

事后我找前班主任

告诉她说：

有的补习朋友比我懒得比我差的

都能获得比我好的成绩

我很不甘心

她说：

The world isn’t fair.

But you have to be fair.

然后我给了她个拥抱

有个师弟过来：

景荣，怎么会这样？没有想到叻。。

他好像有点替我不值

我说：我尽了力就好

考官要怎么批改我真的无法改变

我接受

当然也不忘给他加以鼓励

当天就跟着朋友们逛街

逛到了大众书局

看到了一句名言

这一句话来得正是时候

安抚了我的心

“诸事不理的人说：为什么老天总是跟我作对?

其实他并不知道，老天有更好的安排。。。 ”

透过面子书看到人家成绩比我优异

我的确嫉妒

我又开始比较成绩了

比较后却发现依然于事无补

比较后我又能下什么结论？

难道只有他们有付出而我没有？

继续比较只会造成情绪上失控

心境上的不平衡

我发现我喜欢自己与这样的想法

因此就这样

我没事了

第二天去上班

同事问起自己的成绩

然后就很惊讶地说：

10 As ! 好厉害。。

我再补充：

只有 5 A+

他们说：“ 管他啦

人家听到有10A 就已经很神了

来我们下星期去庆祝！”

目前为此

已有两伙人要在我临走前约我吃饭

在想，有那么热情的上司同事，

这又是不是其中一个上天的安排，恩赐？

从另一个角度想

要知足才常乐

跟他们晚上喝茶时

婉倩说：

“全科A的在大马有9000 多位

全马有超过460 000 学生报考

所以可以说

我们全A的

占了大马的 2 % 叻！ ”

换个思考模式

别让自己为一些无法改变的事实而执著

苦了别人累了自己

要懂得接受

拿10A+ 当然很好

但若不是因为这一次的差强人意

我就不会有那么多新的领悟

还是那一句：

每一样事情的发生

都有值得我去学习的价值。。。

* 光荣，康乐国中高级数学获得全马最好的成绩！

* 妈妈认为我在家依然嬉皮笑脸的模样是为了掩饰失落而戴上的面具，他不相信我早已痊愈，还跟外婆说我很失落，搞到外婆说：

我很想去找Ah Jo 安慰他，可是却不知道要说些什么。。。

滑稽

文明与不文明

2011-03-14T09:05:00.001-07:00

有一次某位长辈在高速公路上

把塑料袋从车里往外丢

任由垃圾乱飞

结果给我说了他一句：没文化， UNCIVILISED

反之，该长辈反驳说：

吃得好住得好时就扮清高

看你兵荒马乱的时候是否还有心机扮 Gentleman 啦。。。

上周五，日本发生强烈地震

历史上数一数二最严重的9级地震的严重性，大家都以能想像得到

怎知海底作怪，掀起了大海啸

日本的防海啸围墙顿时化为空设不堪一击

目前为此已超过1万人丧命

失踪人数数以万计

相比于昔加末大水灾

简直是小巫见大巫

悲剧演变到这地步了

第一核电厂1号和3号机却陆续爆炸

所释放的危害气体与辐射

难免会掀起国际性恐慌

随着辐射外泄抢救失败

现在已开始蔓延至亚洲区域

殃及池鱼

日本政府警告市民切勿离开家园

避免吸取屋外空气

事情闹得沸腾腾之际

灾难当头却赤裸裸地毕露出日本人的坚毅，爱国精神。。。

面对艰辛考验人本市民仍恪守祖先传承下来的美

日本政府派发粮食

市民竟能有秩序地排好队从短片看来

根本不像是灾难当头的情景

不知情者还以为是普通的大牌长龙买卖交易呢

贩卖饮品机免费把饮品让去

旅店免费让无家可归的有着依靠

人民之间的互助精神无人不为之而动容

在情况如此逼迫之下

他们仍懂得自重，自律

公民意识非常强烈

完全没有趁火打劫的情况出现

表现出一等世界公民应持有的节操，精神

换成是其它国家的话极有可能现出另一场文明灾难- 暴乱了

这就是文明

也正可反驳我那长辈为了掩盖本身的恶行而道出那段强词夺理的话，

最佳的证明

文明，不在于建筑物见得多高耸

不在于国库多富裕

而是取决于人民的思想素质

日本这一次的大灾难可令该国至少需要10年时间才能使得经济复苏

然而令人欣慰的是该国人民都是文化传承下来的接班人

日本经济复苏指日可待

当然此次的日本大灾难

亦反映出了文化上极大的差异

揭露出人性丑陋的一面

日本人民陷入一片愁云惨雾

有的则哭天呛地

一天之内所有东西化为乌有

有人心惊胆跳只因亲属生死未卜

盼有关人士尽快拯救灾民

不见人也总得见尸

此时此刻有人却坦然公开

不但没及时雪中送炭

在网络上还拍手叫好

说成是世界第二大战日本所造成的孽

如今时辰已到

把灾难说成是天谴。。。

这让我联想起最近一宗杀猫案

该杀猫人已以满怀歉意向警方自首

自称因家庭压力而一念之差犯下了虐待小动物之罪

某某雪隆爱心协会主席却逞英雄疯颠地喊打喊杀的

顿时形成种种的矛盾

挂着爱心协会主席一职

却失去理智地说要让干案者品尝痛苦的滋味

要往杀猫人身上踩踏如此幼稚的话

言语中透出许多的不快

但无形中他已加入残忍一族的行列

各大报章笔者针对此事对他加以批判

简直是五十步笑百步啊

对于那些丧失人性的网友

希望他们多读些健康书籍

撇开极端思想

活在二十一世纪文明时代

却道出如此荒唐，不文明的言语

听者心酸

日本人的确在五六十年前非常残酷

杀害同胞这些我们全在历史课本能找得到

但最后美国下两颗原子弹轰炸日本

千万日本人牺牲

这是人们步上文明步伐的遗憾

是历史的污点

事后日本投降日本人努力不懈的精神

使日本经济复苏得比预期的快

日本民族也是大家应向他们看齐的民族

日本人没有必要背负着历史责任

来接受狭隘主义者的诅咒

道歉与宽容都是种美德，是种高尚的文化

人只活在仇恨的阴影下停滞不前

一味往后望

如何求取进步？

历史的存在，是要让后人把它当成告戒

同样的错误决不再有第二次

而非让后人把它捏造成冷血论调来人身攻击难民

在伤口上撒盐巴

破坏人世间应有的温暖。。。

日本大灾难

正是人类文明与不文明的最佳写照

A poem speaks a thousand words…

2011-02-18T06:22:00.001-08:00

Sometimes, when you really speak, or write sincerely just like what you thought , it may appear to be FAKE in others’ eye, for they are not the worms in you.

Yet, we couldn’t care too much of all of their judgments.

Again, though I have left my former school for about 2 months…

Still, some pictures of memories will play in front of my me , especially when I did school fairs…

I’m no good in poem writing

The poem below is the work of our 5S1 Dearest EX Monitor

I decided to copy it and paste it here…

Hopefully all ex – 5S1 would like it …

MY STORY IN SMK TAMAN CONNAUGHT

Seems like just yesterday I set foot in SMK Taman Connaught

5 years has come and gone much faster than I thought

Makes me wonder what I had gained in my 5 years here

This school life I had so much of an adventure

Knowledge and lessons were not the only things I gained

I have memories of every smile, every laughter, every pain

The fondest memory I have is my past 2 years in 5S1

The pranks we played, the laughter we shared were so much fun

Although it seems we all have different backgrounds and personalities

Sharing the same class, same memories, were our similarities

Maybe we did not hit it off and click immediately

Over time we realized that 5S1 was the best we can ever be

Agogo will always be a name we’ll all remember

Our fried chicken stall at the Carnival was a great idea

Not only because our fried chicken sold faster than expected

But because of the hard work and support we each contributed

Chinese New Year and Teacher’s Day performances were a blast

How I wish those moments will forever last

Only we know pulling off these performances were not easy

It required commitment and support from everybody

Nevertheless, I have to admit our class ain’t that perfect

We’re not typical 5S1 everyone would expect

Not only we are not the bookworms and nerds our “ancestors” were

We’re branded as “terrible”, “horrible” , “ the worst 5S1 “ by every teacher

Although we’re guilty as charged, deep down we didn’t mean it

How we wish we could just undo all the naughty things we did

Utmost applause and appreciation goes to Pn Usha, Our class Teacher

She’s strict, she’s stern, but we’re so lucky to have her

Giving with so much sincerity in each lesson she imparts

“Dear Pn Usha, you somehow grow in our hearts”

How I wish my time in this class, in this school will never end

This was the place I ran to whenever I needed a friend

Through these walls of SMK Taman Connaught, there’s one thing I know

The memories we built will stay with me wherever I go…

Happy CNY

2011-02-15T06:48:00.001-08:00

Special CNY for me this year.

On a yearly basis, we will be going back to Segamat , Johor where my dad hometown located at, but this year, we had to worry whether we can back to hometown since merciless rain god turned the entire city into a terrible nightmare for all Segamatians!

Fortunately there was another way back to hometown. Therefore we went back home through Yong Peng, since we had no other alternative. Thanks God. Otherwise I had to spend my days in KL, boredom kills.

See how terrible it is? Floating house! Imagine you had to compromise all these unfortunates during CNY. And people there had to even sweep and mop all the dirts , rubbish away despite what we Chinese believe, we are strongly discouraged to sweep on the first day of CNY. No more wealth and prosperity for all victims these year… they must sweep anyway. According to dad, the water level was 8-feet high! Railway, shop houses were severely damaged. Pity…

Well anyway, this was kinda special CNY for me too, because there were a lot of first attempts!

First time shopping with my brothers.

First time decorating my house.

An idea from my daddy. And 2 red notes gone missing after some relatives paid their visit.

First time lighting up firecracker at my house. And yeah, that night we won money from gambling Firecracker brings luck man~

Playing with cousins’ kids at hometown since we had nothing to do.

Hi everyone, meet Joel and Joie !

Kids love sand.

Yeah that’s my dad’s kampung. Felt very satisfied and contented of having a hometown in this kind of rural place, that gave me a peace mind while being away from hassles in the urban city. Love Green.

The temple that located a few metres away from kampung. That’s the place my dad spent when he was a teen. Overnight at this temple alone and study. That’s why we must went there everytime we’re back, since we believe that the Gods inside are the Ones that always give us blessings.

3 families.

My first time Lao Sang with friends. And I dislike eating Lao Sang normally, but this year I managed to finish it, miraculously…

First time with KongMing lanterns. Sorry la these may cause disturbance to airplanes, but first attempt thrilled me infinitely !

Surprised? KL wrote in Chinese leh… (he wrote himself) Guess what he wrote?

Jia Pin with her red lantern.

And Tin’s lantern. Sorry to say,lousy handwriting.

Wei Shan.

Hong Seng. Yeah nice writing.

Mine Finally.

Of course , all our lanterns went up successfully at the end (except for ah tin’s one- a little cacat), and surely all the wishes came true!

The Eighth night…

Prayed the sky god (direct translate) on the eighth night. And my first time viewing fireworks in such a short distance. Waoh amazing. The dark sky was almost as bright as the day when countless fireworks shot up from all directions! The fireworks are costly man~

…

Visited Dong Chan Temple.

A special and jubilant new year. Yet there was regret. When others can enjoy their reunion dinners, we had to eat without having my dear sister around, since she is now in US. Listening to 1FM,NTV7 and TV8 artists singing 团圆饭(reunion dinner) made me felt glum, for I started thinking how pitiful my sister was while being alone in country miles away from here.

Never appreciated reunion dinners last time until my sister left. How true it is – Absence makes hearts grow fonder. I want a true reunion dinner as soon as possible…

Well, in line with advance technology nowadays, we are able to chat through webcams. And hey, we even practise e-praying!

Well a rabbit year , hopefully I can leap forward with full momentum, like a rabbit , A BIG LEAP towards success , towards my goals!

and yeah, I would like to wish that my SPM result will be a satisfying one – with flying/soaring/gliding COLORS, and also wish that I can be able to pass my driving lesson. Have to admit that, I’m now a weak driver. Obtuse judgement while driving…

It’s coming to an end. Hey people, get yourselves back to daily routines.

Have a jubilant one.

祝普罗大众：

心想事成年年有余

恭喜发财一本万利

身体健康大吉大利

事事顺利扬眉兔气

万事如意龙马精神

5S1 (2010), do you still remember?

2011-01-27T07:25:00.001-08:00

A year has passed. Today my bro told me that they are going up to stage in conjunction with the coming Chinese new year. And it makes me recall back….

We shared moments of glory,
Where they became history.
Worth smiling,
When memories came lingering.

(Year 2010 Jan)

(Still Remember this?)

A day before the CNY celebration, I was chatting with few friends and suddenly an idea popped up from us. Hey since it’s our last year, let’s make it a wonderful one and have fun. Not everybody has the opportunity to perform on stage, let’s do it.

That particular night, I actually copied the lyrics and asked HS to download the song. So he sent to me and I burnt in into a compact disc. (that’s team work) xD

The next day everyone was so excited. Countdown to the performance. It left only 4 hours. So once we back to class we wanna start practising already but Pn Usha was in class and more terribly, she taught us English after giving us CNY Homework! (it’s the oral assignment, I could still remember)

Then after the lesson we took photo first. And it’s really a funny moment. Jia Pin also spent her time doing the Money God and that earned her a pair of panda eyes!

So I wrote lyrics on whiteboard. So we asked, who aren’t gonna perform? To our surprise, the usual quite girls didn’t reject and agree to be on stage together!

Woohoo… So We had our funniest moment in the class, kept the tables n chairs aside, then with radio playing to the top of its volume we designed the steps n selected the people who gonna sing, gonna dance. Working with 5S1 for the first time gimme a serious headache because they couldn’t listen to instruction! They will only do so when we’re all practising. HS n YC designed the steps, some gave suggestion to make it a more perfect one. Lacking of time made my heart pouncing non stop, as we're rushing with time. As we’re practising in 5S1 class,teachers in hall kept on calling us for rehearsal. This made us to be more cooperative and lastly everything was done!

I remember we skipped our meals just for this. We practised under the sun at the volleyball court, to ensure perfection. Okay there’s no perfection but the more you practise, the better you'll be. Mr John had no confidence in us , well after he’s saw us dancing in front of him, he laughed and nodded his head in satisfaction, which boosted our confidence. We borrowed RM50 cash from others , to imitate Money God, Mr John lent his Red Color shirt to HS, since he was the main character… ( argh.. memories are always that wonderful… )

One by one other clubs went up to perform and imagine how nervous we’re!! Everybody comforted each other and we cheered until our turn arrived…

GoGo 5S1!

The most ‘gan jiong ‘ moment. Ok we chose the song 财神到 which meant to bring prosperity and wealth to everyone. The stage cloth was pulled down, then we quickly stood by behind the clothes. After emcees introduced us, the stage cloth was pulled up slowly, and audiences applauded! Cheers filled the entire hall and that’s thrilling! While saying and dancing, we had fun and enjoyed every second of it until the 3 minutes song finished, we sighed , “ haiz… y so fast one….”

Kah Leong posted the video to facebook. The first comment was : Unbelievable , we did it!

See? After a year like this, yes no one will remember you since u r no Jay Chou or Jolin Tsai, yet at least ,your final year in SMKTC was a memorable one and worth thinking back, a nostalgic one that left a cheerful smile on your face…

Once again really wanna thank those who showed commitment and were on the stage together that day…

OMG, writing this post made me freakin miss the days more!

That’s the video link below :

http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1183436157952

(Wei Shan , “I cant hear my voice on stage!” in fact, she sang the loudest… watch the video again n u know what happened…)

A Year passed . Happy Chinese New Year to Everybody here and hopefully the Rabbit Year made you be a tougher one while dealing with troubles!

新年快乐！

First post in 2011– Life After School

2011-01-06T08:36:00.001-08:00

I’m now a fresh high school graduate. Mmm… sounds wonderful.

SPM. That’s already 3 weeks ago thing and now, I’m officially no more a SMKTC student.Though I know that very well, yet, I still can’t fully believe that I won’t be wearing that blue uniform that I had wore for 4 years anymore. No more school, no more crapping in the classroom, no more prefects duties, no more. Yesterday after working hours, while waiting for friend to fetch me to dinner, I stood alone at the platform bridge, with my eyes down to the speeding vehicles on the high way, my mind was wandering around the beautiful memories of high school life… I miss the classroom the most.

Well, I know very well that it’s life, a process that everyone can’t escape from and must undergo. Ok stop the emo crappy. After SPM, proudly I have to admit that, to my thrill and satisfaction, almost everyday I hanged out with friends or family members and I utilized fully my post SPM time , occupying it with loads of FUN! Woohoo…

Countdown at Look Out Point For the arrival of 2011. Firecrackers were on the dark sky , mesmerizing everyone around. People cheered at the top of their voices. Messages attacked my phone message inbox, they are all warm regards that I deeply appreciate. While firecrackers still decorating the night, instead of only enjoying the night scenery and the atmosphere, we should also realize that we are one year older already and should learn from past mistakes, to be a better one. The modern world is keeping its pace, without waiting for anybody, you may see an empty lot just in front of your house today, but the very next day maybe construction starts and a few weeks later, perhaps , without much of your realization, a newly constructed building erects firmly just before you. The speed is amazingly fast, so , after having fun , I know what should I do.

3rd of Jan. My first job at Leisure Mall Camera Shop. Being a sales assistant and sells camera at Leisure Mall from 10am-10pm? That was what I thought, initially. Later on, a senior fetched me to Axis Atrium Shopping Complex and dropped me at the branch of the camera shop there. It’s so quiet and how can I get commission by selling cameras when there' are no customers? So I absorbed the silence there, played with the cameras, cleaned the glass and that’s all. Gained nothing. Plus the basic salary was comparatively low. Giving up is the wisest choice I presume.

That night, I hesitated, and practiced how to tell the boss that I gonna quit , after working for only a single day. After about 30 min, I called, gave the stupidest reason ever,and that’s the end of my first job. (one day job) Great. I worked for the company for free for a day, at least I learnt how to operate the printing machine, and also secretly printed a photo of my family. (Now it’s nicely displayed at my house -white transparent cupboard xD)

5th Jan. I’m lucky enough to have a back-up plan. I went to an interview last month at Besta Company ( the digital dictionary) , and on 3rd Jan, I was confirmed that I was recruited! It’s on office hour. The only thing that I dislike is the colleagues are all few years older than me, hence there are difficulties in communicating with them. That’s my weakness. I can’t easily cope up with older people.

My first task was to send out some CNY greeting cards to other Besta branches. And I learnt something. Then I have to also make sure the store is clean. As you know, Besta is a company that related to education, so the staffs often need to go to schools and do school fairs. Have to always make sure that the things for them to bring to do fair are always ready to be used. Also in charge of the pantry , make sure there is always enough drinking water. Prepare flyers, key in bills, send mails, photostat documents, do claim forms… It’s really busy but I enjoy it. Did quite a number of mistakes, luckily my boss isn’t that fierce.

What is the most interesting part? I have my own working desk and computer! It’s cool you know. I didn’t expect that. And I got a chance to go school fair this Saturday and this is added to my Good News List! Going out provides a new learning chance and I am equipping myself with more and more knowledge. And I got extra allowance for that if I’m not mistaken. Shoot 2 birds with a stone. Bingo.

One of the good things of working is that, I tend to treasure my time more. Otherwise my time will be spent much on Facebook, the silent time killer and the mini games in it.

After 12 years of studying, pre school included, it’s time to take a short rest and try something different.

A temporary job will be just nice.

Crime pays

2010-12-23T09:09:00.001-08:00

This will be my first post after the 3 weeks SPM lol. It will not be a post of me expressing how enjoyable , how cheerful , how blissful life would be after SPM, though it is indeed a nice one (yet temporary).

So after staying overnight a day in Tin’s house after watching Pearl Harbor, we got up very PUNCTUALLY and went for mountain climbing (or mountain hiking , I’m not too sure) at the mountain just beside Ketumbar Height.

So we went to D’Alamanda Condo again after the mountain climbing that really made breathing a labor.

And the story began…

6 innocent fresh graduates were just walking in a group, passing by a CyberCafe and all of a sudden, A Malay boy with his gang walked passed us, and apparently filled with egoism. In face with our naïve and innocent faces, I guess he thought we were just too good to be bullied and he said inexplicably :

“1,2,3,4,5,6 , Cina BABI! Hahaha…” and laughing like morons and left me stunned. Living in Malaysia for 17 years, that was my first time being called as Chinese Pig, how disgraceful it was. But what could we do that time?

I turned my head to my left, asking my knowingly piggy friends : Hey, how should we react arh?

Very stupid question, I know. But what could we do? Do we really need to start a fight over something that doesn’t worth a little bit of our attention?

So I chose to smile and laugh, and also never forget to say Thank You back to the third or fourth world mentality boys. So did my friends.

Yet the tease wouldn’t end so easily. They continued mocking us with ruder phrases and seriously, they’re challenging our patience, thinking that’s fun. There was a limit for our patience.

It was irresistible. Kah Leong was provoked. He stared at them but brought no effect. The gang continued. The monkeys scattered around. And Kah Leong pointed them middle finger. Yeah it’s kinda rude, but in face with these people whose life is too boring until they gotta create some troubles, it’s not easy to control your emotion.

And when we continued walking, thinking that everything is already over, a boy in red shirt ran into us, with a stick holding in his right hand, non-stop repeating at the top of his voice: “Mana Kuning ?! Mana Kuning?!”, startling us.

Kah Leong was wearing a yellow shirt.

The guy in red was the head of the gang I presume. This could be confirmed when they’re some lads behind him, acting as if they’re gangsters. One of the boys imitated his Ketua, holding a thin tree branch that will certainly do no harm. The other one was funnier, he was trying to look for a stick in the bushes!

Kah Leong : Jangan guna tangan ar.. Guna Mulut.

The boy in red : Kau kurang ajar…. %^*&$!@#

I didn’t pay attention on the craps he mumbled as I was doing a double take on the guys. I stared into the eyes of the small boy beside him, he looked scared. Then I stared into the one in red, holding a stick. Judging from his eyes , I guess he was just trying to show off in front of his gang and would not really start a fight.

But the atmosphere was intense. People from everywhere looked at us but no one offered help. It is a norm in Malaysia. They were just audiences.

So Justin explained :

Kamu yang mulakan tau… Kamu yang panggil kami Cina babi. Kami hanya Jalan saja dan kamu panggil kami babi. Kami pun tak marah kau dan hanya ketawa.

I couldn’t really control my anger. Facing these little monsters, I would not be friendly and not aware of myself, I had risen up my voice.

Buat apa kamu cari pasal? Ini apa? Buat apa nak ambil kayu? Nak pukul ke?

And he replied, with a way that you really want to punch right in his face :

Ini kawasan aku tau, aku boleh panggil kawanku mari dan belasah kau orang.

Now while recalling back, I felt that I’m lame. You know, I was trying to explain the One Malaysia Concept introduced by Najib Razak to them! Don’t laugh at me. This is what you be after writing so many karangans.

“ Kamu ada kawan kami tak ada ke? Di sekolah kami , semua Melayu baik baik tau. Tak pernah mereka marah kami. Sini Malaysia, Satu Malaysia kau tau tak? “

“Satu Malaysia? Tak de lah..” the small boy said.

He showed no interest in the crap I said.

“Sekolah mana kamu ini?!” asked the boy in red.

“ Polis ? Ada orang nak belasah, nak ugut kami. Nama saya CHAN KAH LEONG. Sekarang di D’Alamanda Condo, Maluri…”

The boys thought that he was joking and still refused to leave. I captured their photos without their knowledge.

The one in left was the KETUA GANGSTER, KONONNYA…

The one in right picture trying to break the stick to a shorter one. More convenient to be used to hit us?

Then Kah Leong called the police. Hey, Our first time dialing 999 and called for the help from POLICE.

When they finally realised the police report was a true one, they started to retreat. Still, they walked in a slow pace. Yeah how shameful and embarrassing it would be for the head of Gangster to run away on the spot? He walked slowly.

I called them : Eh , tunggu sini lah. Kawasan you kan? Panggil kawan kamu marilah, jangan lari, bodoh!”

Yeah BODOH was the rudest word escaped my mouth.

Hong Seng shouted at them too. Then Justin acting like a peacemaker, asking us not to provoke again. Yeah playing the role as 5S1 monitor.

Shiang Gee and Liek were just keeping their mouths shut all the way.

Then the police called back : Encik , kamu nak buat repot lagi tak?

“Ya, sebab mereka ancam keselamatan residen di sini.”

Beyond our expectation, few polices with their motorbike arrived in just 1 minute. How efficient Malaysia polices this time!

We innocent kids explained the situation to the police and I showed them the photos I’ve just snapped. Thanks god. It was useful and became a solid proof. Hey our lives were threatened. No joke.

Then the polices went patrolling around after Kah Leong telling them that the boy may be hiding in the Cyber Café. Again, the polices surprised me with their speed in catching the boy.

The boy showed what an innocent face this time. He shook his head in denial, trying to tell that it’s not him.

The police showed him his cool photo, in which he held a wooden stick, want to fight. He could barely utter a word.

“ Gurau saja… Saya tak pukul pun…”

One of us interrupted , “ Dia kata ini kawasan dia.. ada banyak kawan , boleh belasah kami”

Police nodded his head, “ Ohh kawasan engkau ke…! Gangster la..” At the sight of the police, he was like a pathetic cat , didn’t even have the gut to give out a little voice!

I added, “dia kata , 1,2,3,4,5,6 Cina BaBI.” Then the police scolded at him and hit his forehead ,“ Kau makan babi, mereka juga orang Malaysia tau ”

It was a funny scene though. We were trying to be serious with it. How happy and satisfied you felt when seeing the police hit his head with his palm.

More and more polices arrived, One of them asked whether we want to lodge a police report. One of the polices even took the handcuff out from his pocket. Another one even had no patience and so eager to bring hem back to police station.

I didn’t want to. The purpose of calling the police is just to guarantee our safety. I didn’t want to surrender my precious outing time in the police station.

Lastly, Officer Rizal said we can choose not to make a police report. But he asked me to keep the photos, and we can leave the boy to him. They will hentam him in the police station.

Nodding in satisfaction, we left the place. Leaving the polices to deal with the boy, ultimately.

Then this incident turned to be our main topic of the day. How great having such experience, That was the first experience of ours, talking face to face to the police. I didn’t know whether that was a thing that we should be proud of, yet I’m positive that we’re right in calling the police. The boy is just 16 and started forming his very own gang, teasing others , with the thought that it was fun. We’re not the first batch of victims surely. But we’re the first group that called the polices and that’s was sorta cool.

I ain’t sure what the polices will do to him after we left. I ain’t sure if the polices were just acting in front of us, portraying a good and noble image before us. Well I bet the boy had got his lesson. He’s just a small boy but started creating troubles in such a tender age. It’s indeed a shame to his parents and reflected badly on his upbringing.

When can only we Malaysians get ourselves out from the shadows and live harmoniously without discriminating other races? I don’t mean to refer to only Malays, but also to Chinese. One Malaysia sounds good, but are we Malaysians on the tracks in realising it? It’s just an empty slogan anyhow. Sometimes you feel depressed seeing other countries develop in a fast pace while we are still trapped in this racial issue…

Nevertheless, sorry to admit , it was quite a fun experience, I know it’s no longer fun if we really got beaten up. Yet something occurred in my mind after this incident.

You see. The Ketua has a lot of friends when he teased and made a fool on us. Things were different when he got himself into a big trouble that even involved the police. Where were the friends? No sign at all.

A quotation from Oprah Winsfrey , Justin taught me that.

“A friend will not only sit with you in a limousine but will take the bus with you when the limousine breaks down”

True enough. Friends that circle your orbit , how many will be there for you when you’re in trouble? It is normal. Hero cannot survive in this realistic,materialistic world. Maybe this is just my cynical narrow view.

But I have to honestly admit that, no matter you believe or not, I actually prepare myself for a fight seeing the guy in red ran into us. Should the guy in red really smashes Kah Leong’s head with that wooden stick, I will say, I will lose control of myself and get involve in it. That the conclusion I got after asking myself sincerely. It sounds stupid perhaps. I’m not smart enough to respond quickly to situation and that’s what I will do for self defense.

P/S : hey guys. we forgot to tell them we have a gang too. That’s Usha Gang. ( Refer to the few previous post ) xD

咖啡猫第五系列华会会刊

2010-12-13T05:03:00.001-08:00

（扫描出来的图案没有书上的那么吸引人）

今天到学校复习华文

主席子柔把华文学会新出炉的会刊《咖啡猫》递了给我

谢了一声我就把它接了过来

脸部没有显露出格外兴奋的表情

但心里头是喜滋滋的

哈哈或许是因为它是免费的

但也不全是

其实练习诗歌朗诵和颁奖礼的演出那段日子

绝大多数时间都在“猫门”里鬼混（或以不务正业来诠释会较为准确）

亲眼目睹执委兼朋友在那段非常时期依然无怨地抽空完成此作品

看着在电脑上的图案与文字

现在已印在有份重量的纸上

虽然没有参与筹备工作

但感觉上有如亲眼见证一本会刊的诞生。。。

新书总是被一层新书的味道给包着

让人会特别想去珍惜与爱护

我看新书前有个习惯

会把封面与封底都小心翼翼地欣赏

确保自己没把任何小细节给看漏了

毕竟这是人家辛辛苦苦所绘制出的作品

更何况是朋友-静妮和诗敏设计的

趁老师未开始讲课

我打开目录

先寻找自己的作品

其实看着自己的作品能有幸被加入此刊

就好像某人曾说过

好像自己能被别人接受，承认，得到肯定

而萌起那份无法以钱买到的满足感

小学时代自己的写作能力平平

老师总是批改了我们的作文后

会挑几篇优秀的作品在班前朗读

而我总是希望老师手上那几份作品

其中一份是我的佳作

但很无奈的在小学从来没尝试过拥有那份优越感

因此自己的作文能有幸被加载进会刊

喜悦是难免的

因背后有那么一段小故事

大概五点半回到家

闲着没事做再次翻开会刊

走马看花的看一遍

有许多惊喜一些朋友的名字都出现在会刊上

再看看插图与间隔页

本人特别喜欢第17页那只猫的插图

双眸睁得大大的好像从来没见过牛奶和咖啡似的

是种单纯的可爱

然后翻开伟伦和心卉的作品

真的钦佩他们的创作能力

这样的点子亏他们想得出来

应该是平日喜欢看书所培养出来的吧

尤其是心卉的

不知是自己理解能力差

还是对方创意天马行空

看了一遍不明白

看了第二遍方才有点儿头绪

再看看散文看到了同班同学嘉玲的作品

她用的词汇不算很深

但读到最后那一句后

不知觉得生了鸡皮疙瘩

很有感觉

这鸡皮疙瘩不是像平时那种听别人说鬼故事或听一些诗歌朗诵参赛者因表情语调姿态动作过份做作而生起的鸡皮疙瘩

而是读后有那份感触

认同作者的想法与感想：

人就是要等到失去才学会懂得珍惜

不知道其他人读了会否与我一样

见仁见智吧

或许自己还困在这段过渡期

需要时间治疗。。。

然后翻到筱柔的《黑与白》

赞叹我不知道她真的能写

把平时人们没多加留意的

没联想到的生活细节

通过文字

来提醒给大家做个借鉴教材

再作个总结

真有意思

若把这样的题目抛给我

我看死自己交白卷了

当然自己还未把所有文章一一读完

待会儿就把它们啃了

顺便偷几个生字新词

为明天的作文做准备 :)

通过此会刊发现自己更爱华文了

能够用方块字把故事创意地编写出来

再巧妙地以不同类型地写作手法

加上对话，词汇

最后也不忘强调中心思想。。

我们真应该为自己的文化感到无比自豪

这是华文的美五千年来传承下来的文化的美

曾看过篇社论他说

不要问自己或他人为何要读华文

身为华族子弟一诞生就已背负着要学华文的包袱

若连华文都搞不懂连自己的身份来历背景都一问三不知

有什么资格去学其他语言文化

是黄皮肤却连基本华文都不会说，更糟的是连听都不会听的那些

搞得自己不伦不类的

讽刺

写完一篇短篇小说后的感想：

那是我第一次写那么长的作文

其实写作并不是说很难

只要平时多阅读

注意别人所引用的词汇及短语

写作时

多加几份耐心和用心去创作

去想着别人没联想到的

没多加注意到的细节

再秉着颗真诚的心

应该就能作出一篇不俗的作品

泡咖啡应该也是这样吧

最后要恭喜与感谢华会中五执委：

子柔、文慧、秀芬、诗敏、静妮、美瑾、祖仪

应该都是这几位吧

常常出入猫门的几位

还有顾问老师叶老师

终于把系列五的会刊给出炉了

因为一本书而生了一股冲劲

要上部落格写感想

还是第一次

这是一本书的力量

我会好好珍藏

感恩

Justin’s 17th Birthday

2010-11-25T07:22:00.001-08:00

Can’t believe I can still blog in this very crucial moment?

Yeah it’s Day 3 of SPM. BM was unexpectedly easy but well, History turned out to be otherwise. Or in another word , I got to say ,a surprising one. Looking at the paper which consisted of only 1 or 2 pity spotted question will leave you stunned for few seconds, and the next thing you will do is to laugh pathetically at yourself. LOL. No one asked you to believe the KONONNYA SEJARAH PENCERAMAH TERBAIK 100%.

I am glad. Am still surviving.

7 more subjects to go.

______________________

And today is Tin’s birthday, a friend whom I am quite close with since the beginning of this year, after attending countless tuition classes and seminars together. LOL let me tell you, strong friendship can actually be established by joining tuition classes together. Or more specifically, by sharing secrets with one another. ( Oh I just found out I did wish him in my blog last year. Time flies. )

Of course, not only that , we bravely sang ‘You Raise Me Up’ together during Teachers’ Day Celebration and even named ourselves as ‘JJ’ , what a shame! We don’t have such beautiful vocals to be proud of, anyway. But since they named themselves as ‘ Wonder Boyz’ , it’s ok to call ourselves as JJ. Oh Mind You, it’s just purely JJ , not J And J! xD

So when he was unaware, I stole the King’s Coupons from his bag and yeah the first time being a thief, but with a good intention I think, that’s to save our pocket money. Hey it was a 50% Discount coupon man!

And after that dreadful shitty exam, went to King’s and chose a cake. Erm the below one looked nice and delicious right? yeah we chose it. And this was also the most expensive cake that we’d spent after celebrating for so many friends.

Happy SEJARAH. Since he’s fated to sit the Sejarah exam in his birthday. But too bad, Nabi did not bless him despite his Big Day today. Questions were hard. :(

Kah Leong drove us to Leisure Mall later then , and wow, my first time having a friend as my driver @ ah Mat. And god bless, we reached Leisure and yeah, we’re SAFE! ‘BerSYUKUR’ , HS said. xD

We asked a waiter in Wong Kok to keep the cake first, then we joined the group. And Wong Kok served us with HUGE BUBBLE MILK TEA! Yeah apparently. But do not easily deceived my its false appearance k? Half of it was full with big and small ice cubes and worse still, the waiter cruelly rejected me when I asked for a refill! xD

And HS usual job la , to serve everybody.

And after lunch, some of them went to toilet, but in fact they went and retrieve the cake from the counter to celebrate. But so sorry la. It wasn’t a surprise anymore when Tin saw it from far. Yeah So spoilt the surprise le. But I believe there was still a momentary surprise when he first saw it from far..

So we sang the loudest birthday song ever, with the intention of telling everyone in the restaurant that it was his birthday, and also to put him in a embarrassing position, purposely.

Yeah here he is. Fa-qiao-ing … Pretty shy. ( woah the photo looks good right? )

After cutting cake, eating cake, and PLAYING with cake, I went back home.

Yeah it was raining quite heavily while we leaving. And again, started to get myself sentimental and the rain made it worse. It may be the last time celebrating for him , most probably. The first and the last. How memorable it would be in the future when we reminisce it back. Oh forgot to take a group photo just now. Well, very soon, SPM will be over, and no more a school student anymore. And it’s time to wave your hand and say goodbye …

Parting is excruciatingly painful . Yet this is just a process of life that everyone must undergo without exception, to make you grow stronger and tougher. Though I did say, in line with the technologically advanced world,we can just sms and send warm regards to one another in the future. But how long will this gradually fragile relationship last with these?

Very soon, you’ll have your own friends and I have mine. That’s an undeniable fact. It’s inevitable, just like what Tin said. I remembered my days in Standard 6, when I pointed to some of my very close friends and naively I uttered, “"You’re my best friend”. And we used to pass around a notebook where everybody left his signature there and we never forget to add phrases like “ Don’t forget me” , “Friends forever” or most ridiculous one, “Remember to send me an invitation card to your wedding in future.” And all these turn out to be just empty promises since we rarely communicate with each other, even with the new existence of this social network website, Facebook. At most, we would just say Hi when we bump to one another, or some of them won’t give you a damn, pretending as if they didn’t know you.

Or another concrete example. I used to be close with Wen Hui and Zirou in Form 3, since we’re in the same class. We decorated our class so nicely and got the first for that competition. We joined trips to somewhere else after PMR, and even studied together few days before PMR. Still remember vividly what Wen Hui said, “ We might be in different classes next year, but we will still have a close relationship even that". And now, don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to blame, just to point out some evidence to prove my statements right. Even we meet, we’ll just say Hi or chat for a very short time. Because we are in different classes already, do not share the same topic like we used to have in the old days…

Must reach to a conclusion after crapping so much. So it’s a heart-rending fact that everyone must accept. There’s nothing we can do but to, MOVE ON. So treasure what we have now, so that there will be no regrets.

Yeah, nearly forgot to add a photo of Tin kena bullied with cakes.

HAPPY 17th BIRTHDAY JUSTIN WONG KIT YUNG!

Last Day In School

2010-11-16T04:38:00.001-08:00

Blogging kills. 3 posts in a day. I must blog. Otherwise I can’t study like yesterday. The same page of Sejarah Tingkatan 4 was still displayed there, lying on table, without realising half an hour has passed.

Last day in school. I thought it will be a sad day and can see people crying around, wiping tears. But it just turn out to be the same happy normal day. Is this the last day of school? Hahaha.

Coming to school happily and see no one is there, I join the 5E1 gang with their talk and later settle the prefects’ certs. Later on, we are asked to arrange tables and chairs for SPM. So glad that my name started with a big nice L – almost a middle alphabet among the 26, so I enter the class with 24 students, not the one with only 12! Haha the more the people, you feel warmer and feel less panic when answering exams.

Enter the hall and wait for other classes to arrive. I don’t know that they’re late. So Majlis Restu officially begins with lectures.

This is our last formal ceremony in school and I thought will be getting sentimental speeches that can make us feel sad and reluctant to leave the school. It should be like this, shouldn’t it? Yes the students are late but they should tolerate with this. Scolding students in front of other special guest wont make things turn better but it’s like menconteng arang ke muka sendiri. So what’s the point of wasting time ? This is not what I want.

The last time singing national anthem in school. Everybody sings so energetically ,including me, full with enthusiasm , for the first time and the last time.

Our class takes the lead and we get up and shake hands , receiving warm regards from teachers. Give Pn Yeap a big big hug when approaching her.

Vincent, Andrea, Ida , Kailing. Lovely.

After shaking hands, see no sign of Pn Usha. Only after a while more we see her standing near the backstage,look moody. And Sheau Hwee, Jia Pin and me rush towards her. And I ask her, why didn’t she shake hands with us together with other teachers? She says she isn’t strong enough to be there, to see us leaving… and she starts telling story about last year…

Jokingly I ask her to stop saying that, claming that Jia Pin will cry. And Jia Pin really break into tears on the spot and next one is Sheau Hwee. One by one, she gives us hugs. And then the boys come and she starts her speech.

I can see tears in her eyes. She is strong to not let the tears drop. She is strong. I can feel the tenderness.

She wanted to get rid of our class when she first stepped into 4S1. But at the end of the day, she can’t accept the fact that we’re leaving her. After all, Carnival, performances , class dinner, we’ve been through all the thick and thin.

Humans are animal with emotions. It’s not easy to say goodbye.

Luckily her speech wasn’t too long. If not I doubt Yew Choong can resist tears from flowing out till the end..

Then she hugs everyone.

And we form a gang, called Usha Gang.

Finally she has a gang…

Then we join the crowd.

Pn Chin and pinkies.

Guang Ze points to KL, saying that want to take photo with him. It’s good to leave all the hatred in school before you leave. :)

Mr John kena bullied . Huai Liang’s cane and Jia Pin’s kick.

And we love Mr. John .

Mr John is super good in front of camera.

Needless to say , my dearest teacher, more like a friend, or my second mum. Unexpectedly, I don’t feel sad, at all. Because today is not a day to say goodbye. I give her a big hug again.

I miss the days of poem recitation training…

5S1 last photo session. But only 33 out of 42. Where are the 9?

Everyone with weird expression.

Pn Usha and me. The last photo, but won’t be the last time for us to meet. ; )

Sel , a friend whom I know for 5 years , looked so pretty today, with the librarian uniform. Still remember her funny look in 1A. The most bising one.

Mei Chin, the pen. KP in afternoon session who used to fight with me over the smallest issues. Miss the days.

Zirou, a hardworking one and full of love toward her friends. Can see this when working with her.

Divya, classmate since 1A. Will miss her after school life. ( Wow I dunno she’s that short. proven smart )

And lastly Hong Seng and Tin. 2 closest friends among all.

Agogo Fried Chicken Stall. I will always remember that.

A day of having fun in school. Taking photo is very fun! So how are you going to cry when you see your friends fooling around, making jokes?

This is the end of my 5 years schooling days. Cannot believe that it ends in such a way... Well, just accept it.

Love SMKTC!

SPM is just 6 days ahead. Pump oil everyone ;)

# Say Bye To the School Cat too.

Pn Chin’s Retirement Day & Wei Shan’s Birthday

2010-11-16T02:08:00.001-08:00

>She is a strict teacher that showed little leniency to our chemistry test papers. A perfectionist.

>She always cracked cold jokes and ended up laughing herself while teaching in class.

>She tak boleh tahan to see students letting precious time pass, with no progress. That made her always start our chemistry class with at least 5 minutes lecture.

>She started her teaching career in SMKTC when I was still a crying baby. With her undying passion in teaching Chemistry , she earned respect from everyone. This is strongly proven when there are so many former students turn up on the day she retire.

>She is Puan Chin , one of my favourite teachers in SMKTC. And also the best chemistry teacher , I believe.

I have already sent my regards through SMS. Again, Happy Retirement and enjoy life !

_______________________________________________

美女？ Yeah it’s Wei Shan 17th Birthday , a smart and intelligent girl, but rather short. So what to be short? Wwe have to admit that, shorties are smart. Why say so?

Yap Wei Shan is smart. Chin Hong Seng is smart. Lee Chin Yung is smart. So in conclusion, shorties are smart.

I presume, the nerve cell of ours are shorter than others and allow information to be transmitted in a shorter time. Haha pandai aku merepek…

Why 美女？No idea. It’s believable that she will turn pretty after 18.

Her wish is simple, that is – everyone got the result they hoped for in SPM. Like .

And the boy picking his nose behind her.

First time saw Wei Shan in Form 1, I thought she was those kind of girl who don’t care about study. But it’s just otherwise.

And at the same time, It’s also Gigi, Tin and Hs’ unofficial birthdays!

Well, Happy 17th Birthday Wei Shan and all the best in coming exam. Hope YOUR WISHes COME TRUE!

When your wishes come true, so do mine. xD

Connaughtian of the Year 2010

2010-11-16T00:09:00.001-08:00

I love this photo. The smoky effect made it looked more like some spooky dead spirits coming out from hell . (The one holding the trophy was Ida xD) Haha. This was the 2010 Connaughtian of the Year ceremony , don’t get yourself wrong.

Being elected as one of the 6 candidates was something great. Yet nothing will be greater than having a bunch of friends who shouted and screamed for you until the entire hall filled with the echoes of their voices when you were introduced by the emcee. Wow , that’s really great man!

Have to show the most charming SMILE , as if you are pretty calm , but in fact there’re already uncountable butterflies in your gut! Hey , sitting on the stage , can imagine how nervous was I?

Reading my biodata. Just felt that all my hard works got well paid and filled with great satisfaction at the moment. 2 achievements that I proud of the most – Champion in Chinese Poem Recitation (National Level) and Best Company , which was also champion in the ExxonMobil Young Entrepreneur Program.

Reading all the biodata of all candidates took about 20 minutes I think. Finally, the emcees announced me emerging as the Connaughtian of the Year for 2010 and the background music was played even louder. Claps were all around and this was definitely going to be a page of glory in the book of my life.

According to Miss Andrea, the trophy was made of pure piuter ( it’s not from pasar malam) and cost more than RM300 , and I was stunned with my jaw half dropped when I learnt that. Wow I didn’t know the school was so generous for this. Thx Pn Usha , fighting for it.

Wanna express my deepest gratitude to the one that had helped me, giving me the right advice, called me and taught me the right answering techniques before I entered the interview room. Though I wasn’t really performing well in that interview. Thank You. You’re always there .

Erm, gonna attend dinner with Pn Pengetua this Thursday. Erm, it’ll be wonderful, I hope so.

关丹三天两夜

2010-10-13T11:24:00.001-07:00

诗歌朗诵后

感触良多

仍沉醉于那美好、温馨的三天两夜。。。

严重导致我无心向学（哈哈，正在痊愈中）

当获知每州都要表演时

那四个朋友选择了张栋梁的《当你孤单你会想起谁》

让我觉得有点儿纳闷

怎么选了如此没有高低起伏、没情趣的歌？

但如今

每天至少会哼一遍

还附上手势

身边朋友都直摇头

可是我喜爱的版本

不是原唱张栋梁

而是我们：吉隆坡诗歌朗诵队伍。。。

这首歌使到一路远赴彭亨的路程很温馨

我们唱有超过十遍吗？

总而言之感觉真的很甜美很丰富

最后当要离别时唱的最后一次

真的体会到 “但是天终会黑人终要离别”那种悲与不舍

之前还有点瞧不起那简单的歌词

现在却用该歌词的某些句子来表达出自己内心存在着的那份感激

很开心看到你们四个

让我想起中二中三也一同与三位朋友并肩作战，相互勉励的那一段日子

不管明年派谁出赛

其他的，记得要给予支持

恭喜获得冠军奖杯最后还是抱回来了。。。

原来一首简单歌只要真心深入体会

真的能与写歌人深同感受

在巴士上更忘不了老师们的“笑”

一个不时播放古典音乐的李老师

三个不断讲笑话、疯疯癫癫的女老师（陈老师最搞怪）

原来老师也有这样的一面

没有他们的 “笑”

我们又怎么会笑

有了他们的“笑”

巴士上充满欢笑。。。

（有点不好意思，那是雪州的巴士。。有点喧宾夺主的感觉）

当然也要感谢陈老师给的祝福

她说：据说一个人得的祝福越多，运气越好

所以她给了我很多很多的祝福

所以能够获奖

瑞玉老师功不可没！哈哈

也感谢李老师

不单只当了摄影师

还当了我遇难时的贵人

幸亏老师有带APPLE 手提电脑

及时替我拷贝新的一张音乐CD

要不然没有音乐的衬托

朗诵效果肯定差得远

感谢

感谢凤叶老师

印象最深刻是在上台前那一刻

手板很冷

因为该场所冷气太大

她握着我的手

感觉到其热能

温暖了很多很多

才更有信心、更从容地上台朗诵诗歌

感谢

更不可忘了曾老师

从中二到中五

见证了我在诗歌朗诵的成长

记忆还是犹新的

记得她叫我躺在桌上（那时还有点抗拒）

用辞典压着我的小腹叫我喊嗓

还有一次劳动节

开着车内的收音机

让我站在洋灰地上来练习诗歌朗诵

也很愿意纠正我的语音、语调

让我进步不少

虽然到目前为止我还是无法正确地使用丹田气

但若没有她的指导

今年抱冠的肯定不是我

感谢

也少不了彭督学

他第一年当上督学

也是我们第一年接触到诗歌朗诵

从第一年吉隆坡队全军覆没

到今年的全场总冠军（初中高中双冠军）

他看着吉隆坡队伍的崛起

我知道督学也非常努力去找钱来举办此项活动

没有督学的努力

恐怕诗歌朗诵早已在第五、六届就结束了

感谢

这旅程中

那四个小朋友也闹了不少笑话

也是他们让我看到自己的太随便

果然西风东渐

经过媒体渲染的小朋友

真的有点跟我们这些九十年代出世的我们不一样

小孩子本来就应该是天真无邪的

但这一群小朋友似乎有点另类

很不可思议

在这里实在不是很方便批评

但也对他们的举动有点感触

上台前他们还会一个接一个跟我说

：阿景，加油。。

可爱得无法形容哈哈

公布成绩当天

他们的过于热情

亦引起了不少人的注目

比起其他羞答答的小学生

更凸现出他们的真

最后报上吉隆坡全场总冠军

她们欢呼声最大

引起了司仪、记者们的注意

有了她们，的确热闹不少

对他们真是又爱又恨

哈哈

其实我写这格其目的不是在写感谢词

我正努力把那种很贴切、很靠近地感觉写出来

可惜华文造诣不到家

强迫自己继续写

像陈老师说的

有的话说了反而画蛇添足

把它藏在心底反而有画龙点睛之效

感觉更美

那我只好附上照片

全家福

感谢李老师的偷拍，拍出那么经典的一幕。笑得多自然。

胜利后的喜悦。

很庆幸自己在吉隆坡队

若是在雪州队伍的话

肯定会像雪州的洁微一样

以羡慕的眼光

望着我们彼此间的互动。。。

最美的三天两夜

再会
