Chinese New Year Day 1

Heeeeeeeey! Happy Chinese New Year! First day. Woke up at 9am this morning, early rite? I set a new record. My cousin Theo says 9am is not early but 7.30 is "early"...ahem...In my humble opinion I say that 3am is e-a-r-l-y and it is a fact! Then I went over to my father's eldest brother's house, then my father's sister's house, then my father's second eldest brother's house and finally my mum's parents' house. My cousins were here just now, made a racket, I kept falling off the chair. All Theo's fault, jabbing me in the side! Yaaaaa...at 2.00pm until 5.30pm. Then we played badminton at the roadside. After two months of not playing, my badminton like rubbish! Hahahahhaa, should see me serve, kept going left! Out out out and over over! Well...at least Theo picked up most of the shuttlecocks. Now she's jabbing me again! We pranked some people, which included Amanda. Then Ashley called, the crazy girl didn't know that Greenroad is next to Nanas, and got some Dashi-something school. She was at Benjamin's house. If you wanna ring them up, ring at 2.......something something..sorry, privacy cannot give out...Or you can call Amanda at 459991...ahem..fake number, don't bother. Stella made that one up. Rubbish, utterly I tell you. Chen Kai wat....muahahahhahahahahhahahaha!!!! I ate, bloated, very, very, very full, think this will take 12 hours to digest all the food eaten. Theo probably needs 48 hours. Muahahahhahahah! We had 2 cans of shandy each, nothing la....abit of alcohol only, unlike some people, how many cans of beer, as if drinking mineral water. Kantoi later, you know, "glug glug glug" down everything just like in Andy Chapman comics. Muahahahhahahaha. Theo is overnighting here. Played gnome toss this afternoon, card games la..not real gnomes...My cards are so crumpled...like recycled toilet paper I tell you. Then right, we gambled. Theo lost $1000 and I lost $200 on blackjack although...the $1000 was mine! Mine mine mine!!!! My money, my chien, my duit, my lui...my everything in life! Hahaahahhaah! Whatever lah hor. And then right, then we were finding names for the Sims (boring though, gave up halfway). Had weird, weird names. I was Caroline, Stella was Hadley and Theo was Barbara. Lots of weird weird names, at first I got some funny guy's name, cant remember it...too long I can't right it..starts with F...Federick lah. Lucky not Federer as in Roger Federer, the tennis player. Now I am sitting in front of the computer, Stella home studying, her mum forced her, UPSR year mah, wonder what is Edrea, Zac and Ben doing. Owh, Theo says Ben must be playing ps2, must be Spiderman2....*rolls eyes*....muahahhaha. Edrea must be jumping around the house like a crazy person and looking for the "cat in the toilet" and Zac must be playing with the cars and shouting around..you know playing with cars can be fuuuun....driving even better...yah, he does that, trust me, he drives them and bangs it into the garage...yay, he will go. Then Saber will be sleeping..eat...sleep...drink... and what else....lick people...it's a DOG okay....don't get the wrong idea... I don't have any cousins who lick people...cis!!!! Muahahhahahaa. In the studyroom now. Owh yea, like you care... okay... Theo hasn't finish her Geo homework..lazy lazy pig...muahahhahaa...she agrees with me. Muahahahahha. She was about the jab again...eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Haiya, this Ashley! Didn't come over! How can like this. She say cannot because no transport. Haiz...ask her to exercise already, lazy, at least Theo and I played badminton wor, burn off the New Year junk food. But ar, this Ashley, stay at Benjamin's house. Didn't even go over to Chun Hoe's house. lazy lazy lazy pig! Muahahahhahahaa. Hmmm...is this too long? Neh...eh! Look! Fireworks! Owh actually, I hear them. Well, this whole LONG WEBLOG is mainly influenced by Theo cos she's being insane, rocking back and forth like some head banger, although got no music. Maybe she thinks she's a beatbox. Teedumdum...bored...dunno where my dog go to. I think in Lundu, gambling....then the grandmother surely go use Friendster...so modern..overdated! The year 2040 grandmother! Jkjk...not insulting...that's what Jason said... So basically I didn't say it...although I did... no wait..did I? I dunno..I have no idea...what am I talking about..blame Theo! All her fault...dunno what am I talking about now...eh..what did I wanted to say already? Forgot la! Cis! Okay, okay..this is long enough already 9.10 pm, wanna go do something "funner" than this. Kayz, cya! Happy Chinese New Year! Theo says...PEACE IN". ....eeeee.... . "rasa gengster"......Hi! It's 11pm already, Ashley just called here, looking for my cousin. Theo pretended to be Wilson just now and that I was not here that I was in Tabuan Heights gambling and then what about me being in some human bean's house gambling. Eeeeeey, where is my dog ar? 11pm din go online, want me to die of boredom nia! Should punish my dog...don't chat to my dog for 9 months! Intolerable cruelty! My cousin is eating cereal now.

Two Faced One

Everything's on fire,
Walking through the flames,
Down a forked road,
Double crossing is the game I play,
I'm in the court,
This is my game,
I will win no matter what,
I am what I am,
I will die trying till the very end,
Two faced one is what I might seem as,
Deep down it's something different...

A stab with a butter knife

Holla! How's life everyone? I just came back from violin lessons. I've not finished my homework yet, I need a break so I'm going to finish my homework tomorrow night instead. I have tae-kwon-do tomorrow morning then bm tuition in the afternoon. Oh ya...the schoolbus that I take since last year used to be very noisy last year and this year...omg, omg...everyone in it is like soooo 'kuai-kuai', everyone so quiet (not everyone of course, just the new ones). It's soooo boring...how to survive in there? I mean...arghhh! I don't know how to explain, if you are as noisy as I am. Rhema's not online again, that girl ah, say she'll go online today, huh! Hahaaa, you should hear that story Kristen made up about 'someone' ever stabbing some one with a butter knife! Hahaaa! Oh ya, I sooooo miss how the bus was last year, it was much more interesting. I have such a tight schedule lately, dunno why, why must the earth have only 24 hours a day?? Sheesh man, why can't it have 48 instead. So much to do, so little time...I totally agree with that quote. Guess what...I can't believe I did it...I LEFT MY FILE IN SCHOOL IN MY DESK! Yeah, well...erm, bye.

Life's Journey

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt within the heart"

It felt as if it was only yesterday when I had my very first experience setting foot into a school, my first actual lesson.

I remembered being six when I entered kindergarten. I entered a year later then the rest of them but nevertheless, I graduated that year and got second. Kindergarten was nothing but fun for an innocent, young child. Studies wasn’t much of a focus then, it was mainly colouring, tracing alphabets, singing, spelling and simple calculations such as two plus five. I knew a girl named Gabriellyn, who was my best friend that time. She gave me her phone number but I had lost it and I lost contact with her after I entered primary school.

Time in primary school flew once more. From primary one to primary six, everything was a blur, everything went so fast. When I was in primary three, I was selected to take the PTS examinations, which would enable me to skip primary four and pursue primary five instead. But, I had never been serious in the PTS examinations because I was not keen on skipping a year and not being with my friends whom I had already been with for three years. I even arrived late for the PTS examinations! After two pages of the test, I ended up talking to my friend who was sitting at the desk next to me. Due to that, both of us failed the test because we didn’t complete it. But it wasn’t a failure to us, we laughed at our results when we saw the notice board with our names and next to it, in capital letters, it says ‘fail’.

So in primary four, I had the best science teacher that I would never forget, Madam Johanna. Strict as she was with us and always punishing us with her unusual method of ‘angkat tangan’ for five excruciating minutes, she was an excellent class teacher who taught me science for three years. In fact, she was my favourite teacher in primary school.

In primary five, I was selected to be a prefect and my senior was Navena. From junior, I became a senior in primary six. As I said before, time really flies. I was going to sit for UPSR examinations that year. Everyone was preparing for the examinations, studying, revising all things we were taught from primary four to primary six. Hectic as it was, nevertheless, it was fun the way we spent our last year in St. Teresa’s Primary School. I remembered having Madam Fatimah as my English teacher, we used to make fun of the way she pronounced milk as ‘mulg’. I still laugh my head off when I recall about that. In primary five, I had supervised the school during 2002 UPSR and in primary six, it was my turn and then, before I knew it, UPSR was all over. I remembered my number was SK2321110 (the last four digits are my birth date) and my best friend, Grace, was SK2321111 and she sat in front of me during the examinations. Meanwhile, Esther was on my right. I remembered us shouting ‘monster’ when we discovered we were sitting next to each other because we had always enjoyed disturbing one another during lessons and even exams. After the examinations, we had fun gambling in class and sitting on cards when Mr. Sabri makes rounds. Gnome Toss was a favourite among all of us, slamming and banging on the table with all the cards. Mafia, too became a favourite. I still have my Gnome Toss deck…all mangled and crumpled from constant slamming and banging together with shouts of laughter.

From fun it became the day that the UPSR examination results came out. I had obtained 4A’s and B for my Bahasa Melayu objective paper. Disappointed as I was when I heard the news and even more disappointed when I realized that I was going to 1A2 in St. Teresa’s Secondary School. I just masked it up and put on a face that showed that I didn’t mind and lived my life like nothing had happened until the first day I went to secondary school.

The first day in St. Teresa’s Secondary school felt as if a bombshell had dropped out of the blues. It was the first time in my whole life when I had been in a B class. I completely didn’t enjoy my first day in secondary school. It wasn’t enjoyable knowing that I was in the second-best class. Well…sometimes, I do get what I want… The afternoon session assistant principal, Madam Sita came in and announced that some of us will be moved to 1A1 because there was space. And I was one of the lucky ones selected to be moved. So was Esther. I remembered Kristen and my friends who were in 1A1 sneaking over to see the announcement being made and cheering silently when my name was announced.

So, the next day I entered 1A1 and I finally felt as if I had found my place because I knew that I didn’t belong in 1A2. I discovered that a few of the students in 1A1 were stuck up because they had obtained 5A’s and in their narrow-minded opinions that they were better than me. Although that was an old story, I don’t really mind when I think about it now but still, it’s a part of my memory. One of the girls were saying audibly that I was bound to be thrown back to 1A2 because I had 4A’s and that I wasn’t as good as them. But I proved her wrong when she got thrown into 1A2 instead. Although I maintained in 1A1 but I wasn’t satisfied with my marks, I knew I had to work harder because I was slipping. I got somewhere around 10-15 for all four terms and I wasn’t very pleased. I was once again, selected to be a prefect and I passed the probation. Form 1 was also the year when I first got to know Rhema Basil Andrews and indeed I shall say, one very good and trustworthy friend found.

Then the year 2005 surfaced and I was now a senior prefect and in 2A1. I believe that I am slightly more pleased with my academics achievements that year as I think back about it. Perhaps except my second term exam when I got 11th but apart from that, 7th for the first term and 5th for the third and fourth term, I’m slightly more satisfied. I received my prefects appreciation plate and certificate during prize giving and also best student in Form2 plate and certificate. Also, I had the memory and feeling of the first debate and loosing it. There was also the feeling of the second debate when my team won and I was given best speaker, that time I was the third speaker. I was now halfway through my secondary school life and before I am knowing it, Form 3 will be surfacing, breaking through and I would be taking PMR examinations…and no more prefect’s uniform…

Time flies as I think back. It feels like the first day in school, the very first experience. Before I am knowing it, pretty soon PMR examinations comes and goes around the corner and Form 4 comes and then comes Form5 then SPM examinations comes and goes around the corner once more and I will be leaving St. Teresa’s Secondary school…

I wrote those paragraphs above three years ago in 2005, now at the age of seventeen, I shall add a few more paragraphs to this composition. Two years ago, Form 3 surfaced and I conclude that it was the best school year despite the fact that I had to study quite a lot for PMR examinations. I was selected as a prefect in Form 3 and Puan Tan was the best class teacher I ever had. For the first time in my whole life, I got first in one of the school exams that year, breaking Wendy Chan's never ending streak of getting first every exam. Quite a big personal achievement for me I must say. I got third the first exam, the next was second and then the next was first and I got second for the last term exam. I got the award for Best Student in Form 3 and Best Student in 3A1 this year. Time passed on and PMR finally arrived, I had lost every ounce of fear for it. Boo yeah when the results came out and I got straight A's just as I had hoped for. This was also the year when my friends and I created our own gang fight video. It was lame but nevertheless, humorous! One person I quite believe that Rhema and I would never forget would be Linda Soon. Loudspeaker. I also went for a shooting competition in Johor and managed to squeeze into the finals and got 9th. Not bad for a newbie like me.

In the year 2007, I was introduced to new subjects like Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Additional Mathematics. Thank God I managed to retain my streaks of being in the Top 3. Examinations in Form 4 are a lot different from the years before, they were longer and a whole lot more stressful. I managed to hijack a couple of awards this year, Best Student in Form 4, Best Student in 4 Science 1, Best Student in Physics, Straight A's for PMR award, sports award and a prefects' appreciation plague. I got selected as a prefect, yes I know, again. I went for the prefects' Leadership Camp and my group leader was Claire Chang. We spent quite a lot of time together there at Permai. Our group name was Loser but ironically, we were the best team throughout the whole camp. I was elected as Treasurer for the Red Crescent Youth Unit #8 and President for the Literary and Debating Society and the big surprise finally came when I was told that I was elected as the Head Prefect of SMK. St. Teresa. Quite a baggage.

I took part in my first Interschool Debate competition at Kolej Abdillah. What a gigantic school. Kristen was the first speaker, Azureen was the second speaker, I was the third speaker while Rhema and Nishanti were the reserves. We lost to Batu Lintang but nevertheless, it was one pack of a good experience. I recall calling Daniel Chong, the Batu Lintang first speaker, outdated. Then I joined the Bond University High School Mooting competition several months later together with Lilian, Zahira, Kristen, Demie and Azureen. My team lost but Kristen, Demie and Azureen made it to the finals and got second. Disappointing but yes, expected, mooting was never my forte. I hate speeches, I love impromptu and that's why I think I make a pretty average debater who usually does the rebuttals. I took part in a very amusing Health Quiz, which they asked me what causes J.E disease and I answered, Japanese mosquitoes. Quite a lot happened this year. Another great thing is that I met him, Perry Tan. A supportive and thoughtful fellow who makes both a good friend and more than that. It was one shot I took that turned out fine.

This year, it's the year 2008 and I am sitting for SPM in November. Just around the corner, now that's really fast. I'm not making conclusions about Form 5 year yet so I'll finish this composition off another day.

Virtuoso

Feeling like a phantom on stage,
A ghostly shadow of my human self,
That had traveled away from the labyrinth,
Released from the mausoleum,
Every move being watched by the world below,
Thousands of spectators gather to watch this materialization,
The story unfolds magnificently,
As I play my part in the story line,
Every mistake to be criticized,
To be marked and judged,
Every prodigy to be awed,
To be applause and spoken of,
It was all about being philosophical,
It was all about pretension,
They could never sequestrate my faith,
Take away things strongly believed in,
Strutting and walking on stage,
Embracing the time given,
A life liven behind the mask,
Hiding a veritable self behind,
Who had promenaded the stages as someone else,
As witnessed by spectators down below,
Someone to be venerated,
Whose name will live forever,
Whose facade that had been a face,
Will be remembered for sempiternity,
Whose torso will be a remembrance,
Preserved in minds for eternity,
When valediction is finally called for,
Lights dim and curtains fall,
A great maestro on stage was over,
An end to a great virtuoso.
