Ah Boy's Scribbles

Ahaaaaa!

2010-01-22T05:42:00.000-08:00

Ok. SO i m indeed a bit late for this post and yes the police have finally handed me the keyboard and that bugger is facing a life sentence for delaying this blog post. Ok that was bullshit.

I realize I will only get to enjoy life for another mere 40 hour before I am dragged back to hell. SO, what the hell, gotttttta updddaaaate this blog before its too late, before the last bits of human civilization disappear before my eyes with the setting of the sun on sunday.

2 weeks in Penang. 2 weeks to indulge in guilty pleasure ( knowing I should instead be buried amongst those friggin tutorial books), to have fun, to hang out with old pals, and to relax and unwind. But well yeah, time sure flies like a fly. From joining friends from downsouth to spending quality family time biting into duck's intestines, 2 weeks is now at an end.

Anyway, today I went out with an old old friend for lunch and to catch the movie " Legion ". Basically, its about God, I quote the movie " Being tired all of these bULLShit" and decides to exterminate mankind. He sends His angels to do the job but one of them, Paul Bettany of course, still has faith in mankind, so he decides to defy God himself and comes down to earth to save these tiny human beings. Watch out for scary grandmas, blood-loving 6 year olds and of course lotsa bulletwastage in this movie. Its so so I would say. Not exactly as good as I thought it would be but boy, did that grandma scare the shit out of me!

ALso, I would also like to express my deepest sympathies to the parents, family members and friends of the 6 members of the Chung Ling family who passed away in the dragonboat mishap. And to these 6 great men of Chung ling, I salute you and pray for your souls. You will be remembered though I did not know you well but you are still one of our Chungling brothers. You have made the school proud in past events and competitions and we would all like to thank you for your great courage and contribution. So long comrades!

Away for Awhile - AT WAR

2009-11-02T17:54:00.000-08:00

Yeah. I was away for quite a few lightyears. That's cause I was so busy being a moron and by that I mean I was part of a highly-skilled special covert ops team named Counter NS meaning National Service team. Counter NS were bozos who never went to the highly-acclaimed camp by the government. We were supposed to go against those who did go.

The counter NS team.

How did we fight itoff? With guns and BALLS of PAINT! PAINTBALLWhere? Beside a rundown high school Phor Tay in town. Who died? Many of us , some repeatedly. Its RM45 per pax btw. 200 rounds per bozo.

I m Back again.

2009-10-23T09:58:00.001-07:00

I have returned from no mans land to my homeland. Now, I am on the other side of PG island at a friend, Daniels lovely home. Today, was a heck of a day. Only pictures can truly tell the tale of 4 bozos :

1st Stop - Silversmith

2nd stop - Paddyfield Laksa n Coconut drink which never came

3rd stop - Pulau betong fishing village and beach

4th stop- Sunset from hilltop restaurant.

Baliked Kampung! SHopping record!

2009-09-21T20:05:00.000-07:00

First of all! Merry Raya and Happy Aidilfitri to all Muslim and all non Muslim friends too! The season of ketupats, lemangs, forgiveness has descended upon us my fellow friends! Eat up! Grow fat! Oh yeah, I forgot, this Raya I deserve to BUKA PUasa too for I too have Berpuasaed(Fasted) and succeeded in doing it ...... for one day. Well, thats a first for me. So, I am rather proud of myself. Oh yeah did i not mention, I missed the prize presentation ceremony- "one of the proudest moments in my life". I'd get a cert that'd say " Succeeded inFasting for 1 day" which i reckon must be a real asset for any scholarship and job interviews. On top of that, I'd get a mysterious prize. COme on, what could be better???

Let me tell u wat.

THIS

Yeah. i jz returned from the capital of Malaysia- Kuala Lumpur. It definitely is the capital. I love Penang the most but if I were given a chance, Penang would be my official first wife, KL would be the mistress. Anyway, unfortunately, there's only one IKEA in Kuala Lumpur and its THE Ikea in the whole of Malaysia, wait, its THE only IKEA in the southern hemisphere of the World if u exclude SIngapore and Australia. It's not only the disneyland for architects, interior designers, newly-wed couples settling down, but it's also fantasyland for bozos like me. My gosh! I wished I could buy up IKEA itself.

Ok enough advert for IKEA. So, KL, I love it but never as much as the feelings I have for Penang.

Yes, I broke a personal record, 5 shopping sites in one day.

Central Market(if u even consider it as one, and yeah the central market region gives one the feel that Malaysia is indeed TRULY ASIA for when you're there, u feel like ur in Bangladesh or Jakarta or even Myanmar)

KLCC ( yes another more diluted version of the central Market and Pudu area with a bit more Malaysians, Caucasians and Arabs making it feel less like Myanmar, Cambodia or Bangladesh)
Kino Kuniya- where I attain near 99% orgasmic satisfaction with ...

BOOKS

that is. Haha.
I found Mein Kampf by our dear old Adolf but the price tag .... well u know..

Stadium - where its yet a personal record with the purchase of a whooping number of 3 swimwear for myself. It was a mega sale of course and its not that my vital organs in contact with my swimwear is too sharp or smg. SO get that out of ur debauched minds

This isnt what u think it is. See, the bal says PURE GRIP.

Posing after trying out some trunks.

and Topman..

And yes. who's this model with TOPBOY? Wait,its not typo error, its a new branch from TOPMAN. LOL and I am the ambassador.

The Curve- not that happening as expected. I did defaecated withmuch comfort. No curves noted though. Checked out Borders and met a KMPK friend over there.

TESCO which is next to IKEA.- had lunch here. Muffins, bagels, doughnuts and KFC. How pathetic! Yes I know.

And the Greatest ONE!
IKEA ladies and gentlemen!
The furniture, interior designs, fantastic! I could live here for a year! Give me a couple of books and I'd be more than happy to live here for maybe not one year, 1 month's enough. Other than the fact that I'd have to have Swedish breakfast, lunch and dinner for 30 days, this would be PARADISE!

As for the photos..... Well I couldnt help but..

COme on here...

WHat's cooking

Now, this is what I am talking about? IKEA even sells this!

So much love, u'd be drowning,
tshin

BACK!

2009-08-29T10:03:00.000-07:00

Finally, I am back in Penang AGAIN! And yes finally I am updating this little diary of mine which has been left to collect cyber dust for quite a while. So, its the Merdeka holidays, one extra day in Penang. One more day in Penang sudah cukup satisfying. Yes, you'll want more but ur logical mind tells u " No. Go back to Gopeng with the others. Study. Focus. That's what you'll do. Focus. "

So i boarded the bus back to Penang when the skies were clear, the sun was high and the bus drivers were assholes on wheels. My luggage and a few of my friends nearly got rammed by the bus that was supposed to fetch us back. The driver, a total degenerate. Anyway, i got up the bus and yes, I could not get a seat. The bus seats were completely filled. Funny, Pak Moose, the ticketman sells extra tickets even though the no. of seats available is 0. I was Forced to take my place at the stairs, the co-drivers seat, right beside the door. If I were to doze asleep with my head against the door, I may just roll off the bus, get rammed by a 4W drive going 180km/h on the NS Expressway. So i decided to move to the back and deprive my godbro of his maximum ass resting grounds. With 1/4 of my already tiny ass on the seat, I watched Saw 4, courtesy of another bozo Adam, my nephew. Tats what i call a movie that gets u sitting at the edge of ur seat. Though, throughout the journey, i had to admit I lost the constraints holding me down, words deprived of much courtesy poured out unto Pak Moose. B4 that, he sees me sitting at the co-drivers seat b4 the bus set off, i complained to him but he told the driver to drive on anyway. Of courselah i angry. However, long after, he smsed, telling me he'll refund me my money.

Anyway, upon reaching in Penang, i rushed to yet another party at g hotel. Wait, is party the right word when its a Rm120 per pax dinner( i wouldnt go if i had to pay, got free tickets) in the grand ballroom. With my 3 day old formal wear, I couldnt help but notice how different this atmosphere is from our beloved KMPK. And the best part was we got to see the new Malysian band AkashA perform live. Adjectives : Marvellous, splendid.

......

Too sleepy continue typigndgdgtyomorrow..

Where is the Boy?

2009-07-27T05:14:00.000-07:00

GOne, Missing, Vanished, an act of magic? Hmmmm..... Where did this little boy go? Certainly not Yugoslavia. He was in TheCollege of Knowledge-Gopeng and then he travelled to a distant land called Perlis. THe College of THe Endangered Species and finally he came back to where it all started - Penang.

So its Gopeng, Perlis, Penang.

So on friday afternoon, this little clown felt a little down as he sees his friends and practically 90% of the other students boarding buses or hopping gleefully onto their parents' automobiles. SOme are enjoying themselves in shopping malls. He asks himself
" WHY? WHY? WHY? " " why must this happen to me "
Bt wait, he's not alone, his two other brudas are still there. Bt they are far far away back in their rooms. While I, as u would u see in the movies, broken.down.dead.suicidal. I was at the bistro. HEads down, at the "pub" style table, with a cup of not aShaken Martini but Iced Tea in one hand. Suicidal. And then, a few angels emerged to save me from a certain death. They were the birthday girls and gang, Boon Siew Motors, Suk Yik Sweet , Ru En Entao and another girl of which i forgot her name. They were the angels sent from heaven, showering me with human compassion and care, lifting me out of the pits of hell. Ok did i go too far?

Anyway, so at 5 I, being a madman, rushed through all those packing and bathing and quickly got on to the college bus ready to leave for Perlis. And when the bus was about to leave, I realized I forgot my blazer for the public speaking( event which shall not be named)competition. So, I rushed back to my room miles away and back. The bus left and we arrived at the college in Perlis at around 12am I must say.
Checked into our 5 star hostels. Went into the bathroom, checked the room and discovered countless new species of insects : Spiders on my bed and more...... in the toilet. Jasper, Adam, I-man and the famed Al and I were in the same room. We couldnt help but feel very grateful for us being sent to Perak and not Perlis.

And so the games began. Waking up at 6am evryday, shouting war chants, singing songs, going for games. The whole team went into the drains except for the girls netball team and our beloved tennis doubles team Jasper and Iman who got silver. Intense. Meanwhile, I lost pants down. My speech " IN search of that everlasting stream" with the theme global peace, made me the crowd favourite, and yes, my coach and Madam Ng were very impressed with it. But the point is, the judges didnt really like it to be a winning piece. WHy? Heres what they commented on mine:
a) " Too natural spontaneous and entertaining"
b) Lacked seriousness

I have to admit. All of the other speakers memorized their speeches and yes that was a more secured path but me being hard headed, I really didnt feel like memorizing my speech for I believe public speaking is to be natural, spontaneous, entertaining and be able to create a rapport with the audience but of course with substance in the speech. Well, I did repeatedly say

Science is being raped ladies and gentlemen. For it has being utilized not for the good of man, but for the creation of devastating killing machines.

Well anyhow, i enjoyed myself, being on the team and all. But, I felt really sorry for our college too. Really sorry. But well its too late to apologize, so lets just stop and stare at the trophies in the hands of the other colleges. On the last night, there was a closing ceremony and there were songs. ANd so, I observed, all the other college students were dancing around to the rythm of the music but as I turned and looked at our team, we were so down, we were like dead logs slumped on our seats. Ofcourse, we met quite a few interesting characters and people there to our delight.

Penang.
Adams parents treated me to seafood! Crabs!!!!
Went home. Hugged my grandparents. Lied on the floor. Happy.
More Penang food to come.
Swam! under the hot 1pm sun. The total distance now is 2km. Today I added an extra Km to my swimming meter. Tomorrow its gonna be an extra 1.2km i hope. Well I do have to live up to my name as a "swimmer" back in Gopeng right.
Wait, Now I have to go help out with my father. TO the hokkien chinese, todays a big day, the day when the doors of the skies open.

And of course some delicious photos from the UNESCO World Heritage Anniversary Celebration
in Georgetown.

helping my sis with T-shirt printing for Anak Anak Kota.

Yummy Biceps. Wait those are not Photoshopped k!

Who's more dead. I think u know the answer

Me at AAK's booth. Nice to see my friends, colleagues and queen again

Helping out or rather posing for Penang Heritage Trust Papa PRoject.Copy AhlPha 1. Copy. The governor has left the mosque.

Adventures of Ah Khoo

2009-05-23T01:08:00.000-07:00

I was busy, away and recently Offline. Yes, I kinda went away for quite a while. So, where did this little bugger go? Form 6? No. He packed on the 10th of May and off he went to a distant land. On a rather large four-wheel vehicle, he went deep into the jungle, passing oil palm plantations, abandoned warehouses( great setting for Bollywood fighting scenes), lambs, cows and lots of cats. And, in formal wear, he scaled the great mountains of Gopeng, blisters on his feet as he trekked his way up the formidable cement steps, dragged his lifeless body under the searing hot sun, through this treacherous journey. This, is the moment, a new chapter in history of mankind, surpassing even the discovery of evolution by CHarles Darwin himself.

*drum rolls*

Ah Khoo is now in Matriculation. One step made in Matriks, a thousand steps for mankind. A new era begins.............................................

Wait, I am on the phone with Discovery Channel and wait heres another one I have to put on hold- Nat Geo..

And I am back. I am also "back" in Penang for today and I have exactly14hours and 20 minutes before I leave the comfort of my home for my new home to be for a year. and no, its not my mistress's penthouse. It's Gopeng! The ShangriLa of Perak. Boy, I have to admit, other than school life, the scenery there truly captivates me. boy , one can just be rooted at one spot, just looking at the curvacious bodies (wait u read finish first, dont think bukan bukan) and sexy contours of ....................................

THE Mountains and HillsLaH! and the ghostly clouds just floating amongst them. Walao, the sun might be evil during midday but she sure is beautiful when she awakes from her sleep, and also when she's about bid goodbye. Beautiful. Beautiful.

ANd theres the other scenery- boys dorms toilet cubicles. Where the most elegant flow of mud-like shit gush out of the bowl, filling the ground with a nice shade of brownish yellow.

I have to go now. But will keep u updated as soon as possible.

So much love, it'll be like the shit gushing out of the cubicle in Gopeng,
tskhoo

Attention: A video has jz been updated below
It's been centuries, I guess since I last updated this blog. Well, I have been travelling. Yeah, going up and down the North South Highway 6 times in a week sounds like a trip to me.
SO, first trip, me and my friend dr law
Destination was Kuala Lumpur. Purpose: 2 A-Levels Full Scholarships Exams for Ruthin School and ROyal Wolverhampton School in London.
Venue : British Council KL, Jalan Ampang
TIme : 6.30- 9pm for both days.

So the first day, we went down by bus. We reached KL , left our luggage with Aunt Jessica, the kind friend of Daniels Mum. Then, the two little boys roamed the big city of Kuala Lumpur, mostly by the more than efficient LRT and Komuter with the sexy Male voice. We Checked out KLCC and spent a lot of our time Lepaking there till 6, for the exams.

My Love.Some rest be4 the exams

Video : Small boys in a Big City - looking for British Council

Then, after the exams, we admired Mahathirs lighted Twin Metal Sticks which were rather majestic under the night sky. We went back to KLCC and we had late dinner, KLCC was closing of course and we boarded the Last train home. So, on the train, with few passengers around, we... did what we often do...

The Twin Glow-in-the-dark sticks

This isnt what u think it is

Aha! Dr Law! But there are no girls around

VIDEO TIME :
Me trying to imitate Dr Law, but failing to do so.

for I somehow banged my head against the ceiling.

Signature Pose

And well right after i came home, the nex morning, I went to Malacca...

And that elegant lady is none other than TUn Tan Siew Sin or rather Tun Tan Cheng Locks Granddaughter giving us a personalized tour of Tun Tan Cheng Locks Home.(not opened to public one leh)

In front of the tablets of Tun Tan Cheng Lock and TUn Tan Siew Sin. BangganyaOMG. That's Admiral Cheng Ho for goodness sake.

That cant be Cheng Ho. I dont feel the Chi.The potrait seems similar to the guy below.

And today..... I checked out the alternative to Form 6 - The College of Paradise in Perak.

With perfectly trimmed hanging gardens,

and conducive study environment,

and not to forget ...

It's as close as it can get to a Shangri La Hotel

Saman - Berkhidmat Untuk Negara

2009-04-21T07:18:00.000-07:00

And so, today was just another day. It was raining even when I woke up, at 11am. Yeah, early. This rarely happens I assure you. However today ........
The time has come, my fellow friends.

It was time to rise, put on a pagoda tshirt and set off in my grandpas car to a distant land. But wait, before that, I must not forget to pick up my wingman aka Grandpa, the owner of the vehicle or should i say moving chunk of metal i am in. Yes, we sent off the young one, aka lil sis to a place where we know she would be safe, for we could not risk worrying for her safety while we go off to this distant land to fight this war for the good of mankind, a war of righteousness, a war for liberty at all costs.

There was a jam. Gosh,time was ticking away. Soon, the porthole would be closed and the more time we waste, the weaker our souls would get. It-who shall not be named, for now, is killing us. It's burning a whole in MY POCKET! A big HOLE! Ok ok CUT! Enuf of crap! Wait not all are crap.

Yes Yes, the car I drove, my grandpas car kena saman. 2 freaking samans for obstruction of traffic on 1st and 2nd april
same offence, same lot, same road, same asshole.

I didnt know abt it till a few days back and on the saman it said, this saman has to be watever watever paid in 7 days or smg if i m not wrong. Now, it was already like one 3 weeks past d. So I had to do it todayloh
I went to see the management of the apartment my grandpa was staying in and asked if any of the other residents kena too coz I was curious, all this while, everyone seemed to park there. The guy said a lot of ppl also kena, RM300 a ticket he said. So I was like : WAT!!! tat means RM 600! Can buy Hphone d leh!!!!! Somemore,There are simply NO LINES at all along the whole stretch where we kena saman. Not even any sign to say No parking at ALL. I went to check today, took a few photos prepared to be shown to whoevers in charge of the appeal process.

And so we went to Pttani Road Police HQ. We went from this office to another office to another counter and finally we arrived at counter 1. Counter 1 was surely where we were supposed to go for we could see all the gloomy faces there. A long queue mind you. In front, there was a couple. The husband beat the redlights. She was grumbling abt her husband causing her to waste RM200. He erupted in front of the policewomen and us saying all in Hokkien of course :
" Limpek ka lu kong mai sio kong limpek em ka jiang lu dua je peng. Lanci**!.............. #^$&#$#$(..! "
( dont think I am afraid to shout at you here. Penis! XD..... n foulwords poured like cendol)

When our turn came, I was already much amused. I told the cik I wanted to appeal. Waited for around 5 mins, and she wrote 30 on the two samans and I tot must be the queue number for appeal.mana tau she say i only need to pay rm60 in total. Walao! I was so damn happy. So well waht the heck, no need appeal laH!

After all Berkhidmat Untuk Negara wat. najib, and tan sri musa, u better thank me.

2009-04-19T19:47:00.000-07:00

Ahhhha! Long time no blog. Other than the fact that I am now released on bail , wait dont get excited, not from jail but from a punishment in accordance to a newly enacted draconian law, not in Malaysia(we already know that) but in the grounds of what I call H.O.M.E, home. Due to some "speculations" and charges that, tskhoo, the defendant was TOO dependent on so-called 'luxuries' which include the usage of a car( though its just a 20 yearold grandpa's car which just got 2 samans caused by me by the way), the addiction to the PC, not doing much housework, lazing around.... the verdict, the punishment to be imposed upon this young man would be :
i) No computers
ii)No car, no motorbike. Only bicycles and the efficient Rapid Penang.
iii) Doing 90 % of housework. Before this it was say 10 or 0.1 %?
iv) RM 2 a day which will be gone if u take the bus to anywhere.

So, it began. Mopping, sweeping the whole house, dishes, cleaning, next step laundry.......Followed my ama to the market. She taught me skills I would never have known. So I guess in a way, me being banned from all those above, really taught me stuff .And now I am learning to cook my Ama's Nyonya dishes which is real cooL! Now I know how to cook my favourite soup- the tauhu soup or smg, the black soy meat, kangkung... Wow, so wat? Next step? Sewing perhaps.

But soon punishment
no.i) had to be momentarily dropped for I needed to do some online examination and also
I just got to know that I am now................teng teng teng ........a director. Haha! Director u know, like Steven Spielberg already. XD Not exactly, not yet. I am supposed to lead this video documentary on eviction in Georgetown and yeah I m rather lost now since I dont have the experience yet but I m learning from the experts.

I just attended this workshop by ENgagemedia on video distribution by Mien who directed the Human Rights Documentary "Running" and the acclaimed Fahmi Reza, who directed the famous 10 Tahun Sebelum Merdeka. I just watched them and its highly recommended and it really gave me inspirations.

Wait no I am not into MassCom or film production or anything, I am Still going for Medicine but well it can be still too early to say for certain. Anyway now I am in a dilemma, I received an offer for Matrikulasi in Gopeng Perak. My friends are certain to go for it instead of going for f6, but I still cant make up my mind.

Matrikulasi or F6?

and oh yeah. sorry abt the sidebar being packed with lots of stuff and u'll keep seeing new things and widgets popping out of it. Don't get confused, I am just trying out some of bloggers functions. XD

SO much love you'd be drowning,
tskhoo

Get well My Little friend

2009-04-10T07:35:00.000-07:00

Today I was in town and I decided to drop by GH to visit the chubby 3 year old boy I met during the Program Pendedahan Kerjaya sbg Doktor.

Its sad I dont really know his name for I can only remember when his mother asked him to tell us his name, he said his name was Shuai Ke 帅哥， meaning Handsome and cool man literally. We laughed, he laughed. It was true and boy he knew it. Boy, this young man was really cute! He was active like anyother 3 year old. However, he had bruises all over and when the paeditrician examined him, the poor little boy's mother was warned : Her baby boy has an 80 to 90 % chance of having leukaemia - the poor mum 's biggest fear as bruises all over the skin was a prominent symptom of leukaemia. His mum started crying, eyes filled with tears like any mother would.

He was 3. He hasn't fallen from his first bicycle ride. He has yet to scream, shout, rush to the canteen as the school bell rang. He has yet to meet his first girlfriend................ and if it really is leukaemia, he may not be able to experience these little things we often take for granted.

I went to the ward, I looked all around. He wasn't there. I couldn't ask the nurses for I did not know his real name which I am sure is not 帅哥。 Where ever he is, whether discharged or moved to another ward and hopefully not the ICU pls, I would like to wish him all the best, fight whatever this disease(pls let it not be leukaemia) is, and live a life that's full.

Notice of CLARIFICATION

2009-04-06T02:23:00.000-07:00

IF u recall, I briefly mentioned this:
Status: My balls are freezing. My balls were frozen. My balls are undergoing defrost.

I have received mixed reactions to the state of my balls. Mind my language.
However, in facebook, quite a number of ppl liked the physiological process undertaken by my... well...

AN example from MSN, eg.:

B***** says:
haha
B*****says:
y u write that ur balls are defrosting
tshin says:
after jpa interview wat
B***** says:
so long time d still defrosting beh liao
B***** says:
lol
tshin says:
big wat
tshin says:
LOL
B***** says:
hahahah
B***** says:
okok

TO clarify things ,
1) I AM NO PERVERT!
2) The process was unavoidable and no, IT's NOT Genetic nor is it hereditary!
3) It was simply used to describe my feelings before the interview, during the interview and after the interview. The warmth and friendliness of the interviewers kinda helped the defrost process though. Really, they were really friendly and we received a warm reception indeed, no doubt, heat and warmth definitely raises the temperature of an object,

JPA Interview

2009-04-03T04:31:00.000-07:00

Status: My balls are freezing. My balls were frozen. My balls are undergoing defrost.

Hi guys! Meesa back from the JPA interview!XD So JPA, must be the happening thing these few days. My interview was on 1st April 8am. The night before, I couldnot sleep until 12 or so and I was so worried it would affect my performance the next day. Wait, I forgot to mention, I had two cups of Low fat Milk before going to bed. I love milk. Anyway on D-Day,
5am Woke up
5.03am Brushed my teeth
5.10am turned on the radio, danced to the music (i think it was Say What You Need to Say) such a coincidence! LOL
5.20am Took a bath
5.40 am Put on my undergarments and formal wear
5.43am tightened the belt for I have tough abs with a small circumference LOL
5.50am Had Milo with Nestum. Drank Milk
6.00am Prayed
6.10am Off we go!
6.30 am Enjoying the lights from the ports in Butterworth
6.50am Took the Exit off the highway at Sg Dua
6.55am Followed Dr Laws Instructions and given landmarks, enjoyed the view of the paddy fields and trees lining the sides of the road.
7.10am Reached Bahagian Teknologi Pendidikan Negeri Kepala Batas
7.15am Started walking around smiling at people I dont know. Met schoolmates, edward, xiangyi, tohnee, dexter
8.00 am Went past the " Strictly No parents allowed beyond this line" boundary
8.01am Talked, got to know the 12 others from "Panel1" and then I met SHUYI!!XD. wished her all the best.
8.15am Smiled at the Urusetia and soon the first batch of 5 went in
9.00 am They came out.
9.05am We went in ( the 2nd batch) Soon Shan, Nara, Saifuddin and me! :) I was no.4

9.10am It began with Self Intro.
We talked about our family background, curricular activities, why we picked the course and simply anyother things u want to say ( to the next batch of applicants, dont worry about it! My advice is to be urself) I did make them laugh a few times but i hope it was a good thing. They could be laughing at my stupidity or my sense of humour.

Then, it was the group discussion in English. Organ donation. We each had our equal chance of voicing out our opinions.

Finally, group discussion in BM. Topic : If u were granted this scholarship, u finish ur final year say in UK, and some how a firm or the UK gov offers you a highpaying job there, what will u do?

And soon enough it ended at around 10am.

The interviewers were real friendly, they were interested in what we were saying and I would say they were very supportive. So jz stay calm and be urself.

I came out of the room. Wow! its over! I really enjoyed this experience. It was formal yet it was fun! :)

came out of the room, wished the people outside all the best! And off I went, I drove! haha my parents and I checked out AIMST and boy the place was a beauty! It was so great! With so many trees and shrubs, and space, it's a great place to study.

Yes my fellow frens. I have reasons to believe why you are frustrated. Yes i understand, fully. With popcorns ready in one hand, but still no sexy half naked pictures??? What is that!!! LOL. But before that, I'd like to introduce our lovely Korek the Khoo Clan Story Team! I am the co-facilitator which means I'd have to help the main boss, the artist Ban Siang to not only conduct activities but also to do dirty work. Yeah...but I am not complaining, in fact I love it!

Senior Lifeguard getting thrown overboard.

Laughing at the commotion going on.
Ahem! This guy damn vain man! Tak syok dia! LOL

and you end up being thrown overboard too. During the last 5 minutes of our duty, our senior lifeguard told us to gather at the edge of the pool for debriefing. He asked another swimmer to demonstrate how a victim lying unconscious in the water and how are we supposed to save him. Then, some evil gigantic hands emerged from behind(belonging to the one in the blue cap)
pushed 3 of us new lifeguards into the pool. THankfully my watch was water resistant. LOL. And yeah, I didnt bring extra tshirts along.

And of course, some cheng beng(chinese all souls day) pictures

2009-03-03T05:11:00.000-08:00

They say a picture says a thousand words. Well, Hence, I have decided to let the photos do the talking on my volunteer work at Adventists Hospital today. Take notice, some ( wait i think MOST) of the photos may lead you to think that we were just fooling around instead of working, but hey LOOK we carried bottles and bottles of 20kg dialysis solutions OK!! But before that, we were at the oncologists' department. We were collecting some donations for this charity climb up Mount Kinabalu for poor children with cardiac problems and the sum that we managed to raise was....of course very amusing....

"That was crap!" From Left to right : Dr Tan, Dr Khoo and Dr Law at the executive meeting room for oncologists ( thx to the nurse Ms Lee who took the photo for us)

" You call this a freaking report! With all due respectU are freaking fired Dr Law "

and the sad Dr. Law right after being fired by the boss

was I too harsh on dr law? * little regrets* Now Supermaid Takes REVENGE
YOu know how i got these scars.. wait no , pimples...

A letter to Dear Ahmad Said.

2009-03-02T05:26:00.000-08:00

Dearest Ahmad Said aka. The Twisted Asshole,

Damn..**@#$@$#$*#$%#$(*#($*#($ f #$(#$(#$*$(#($*#$)$_$_#)@#@# YOU.

You were reported saying these in The Star :

*********************************************************************************

Ahmad Said: Not fair to link me to son’s offence

(Yeah yeah yeah, why dont u go bullshit to some other assholes.)

And you had more bullshit coming our way :

***********************************************************************************

Ahmad Said vehemently denies that it was child pornography. He said that the titles of the video clips found in his son’s laptop computer were misleading.

“I can bet with you that it’s something that you will find on most men’s handphones,” he said.

Ahmad Said also questioned the motive of those linking him to his son’s offence.

“Why are they targeting me? I did nothing over there. It’s like committing a traffic offence here and paying the summons – and then the father gets blamed for it. Is that fair? It’s brainless,” he

“There were other Malaysian and Singaporean pilots who also paid fines for similar offences, but my son was picked on (by the blogs) because of his link to me,” he said in an interview with Sunday Star.

Ahmad Said, however, sympathises with his son and in-laws, who have been dragged into the picture unnecessarily.

*************************and the bullshit finally ends************************

Oh! SO you're insulting all men now. Do I have child pornography on my handphone? Dear friends, do you? And that moron dares say it's common for men to watch child pornography. Well, what is freaking wrong with this nation? How can an asshole like that be appointed to lead the war against corruption? He's a freaking pervert. A twisted man. Well, they say like father like son. Now, we can probably see where his son gets it from.

And mind you, the titles of the videos on his son's handphone were :

( Reped (sic) Virgin'', "10-Year Old'' and "High School Students".)

Source of the video titles : Jeff Ooi's Blog

******************************************************************************
Oh, so you say it's misleading. So, you're saying we'd rather believe your freaking words than that of the Australian court. Hmmmm, have you had your PROZAC recently?

As a sick father of a sick son, you claim that your son has been victimized. Victimized??? My God! First you're twisted, now as the MACC Chief Commissioner you dont even understand the definition of "victim". Well once again, we can see how ur son gets his spelling wrong for the video title. YOur son victimized? Or the poor 10 year old in the tape?

Someone, please help this lost beast. Help him before someone kicks him in his nuts. And his wife. Poor woman whoever she is. How could you possibly live with a wild animal like that.

Love,
tengshin

After my CPR exams, I received a call from Mr Chua( a person I did not even know) asking me whether I could give a tour of Georgetown and a few historical sites there on bike. I, without asking what this was for, who's attending it, have they obtained police permit, agreed. So, I arrived on time, in fact I was early. Then, I met Mr Chua who's actually a Guang Ming Daily Reporter and secretary for some Penang Cycling Lifestyle Association. A very jolly fellow, I see a lot of myself in him. Very funny guy. He was super the friendly and he introduced me to a few people who were starting to arrive. Initially, I thought to myself, " Hmm,, just as I expected 6 or 7 cycling freaks like me, should be not a big problem"

I was so WRONG. Then, more and more people arrived on all sorts of bicycles. Tall, short, three-wheeled(featured on the STar Netro today), 4-wheeled pink bicycles with ribbons at the ends of the handle slowly arrived. ANd suddenly, Mr Chua introduced me to someone with the gelaran Y.b Y.B..Oh Y.B. Teh.

Oh rupa-rupanya this project " Exploring Georgetown on Bike Project" was an initiative by Y.B. Teh from Tg Bungah. He was real friendly towards me and all. By the time I finished having a short chat with Y.B Teh, my god, 2 to 3 police outriders arrived on their classy superbikes. Walao! Then, I began to panick. Crap! Not 7 or 20 cyclists but 100 cyclists. MY GOD! ANd whats worse, I am the ONLY tour guide and so called captain. I didnt know when I was promoted to Captain all of a sudden, being a totally blur-dono-anything newbie there.

Soon, the launch began and Y.B. Teh invited me to be positioned next to him when the press started clicking away. My GOD! Bangganya! Y.B. allocated a the space beside him for me you know! Then, the tour was flagged off.

~ It's not everyday a boy gets to cycle through the streets of Georgetown with 2 police outriders right in front of you and 100 cyclist following behind you. ~

Our first stop was Hai Kee CHan or Penang Peranakan Mansion. I gave a very short "lecture" on my favourite topic- Secret Societies of Penang after all Hai Kee CHan was the former HQ of GHee Hin. ANyway it continued on in this manner:

* cycle, stop, listen to tengshin explain, give applause even though its damn boring, and cycle again.. *

It ended at CHeong Fatt Tze Mansion and we moved on to Little Penang Street Market. People were staring, of course. We sat down, had our breakfast there and chatted. Oh, I was sitting at this table with this very familiar-looking woman. She was one of the people who listened intently while I was explaining and she asked what I was doing, which school was I from...... Of course, I took this opportunity to advertise AAK. And soon after that did I realize, she was Lydia Ong, the State Exco for Sports and Womens Affair!!! My God, another State Exco and Y.B.! Then, a gang of STate excos arrived(they didnt join us previously) giving their compliments to Y.B. Teh and all. It seems that a lot of the people there were either Y.B.s themselves or were working for Y.B.s. And, Y.B. Lydia Ong was so kind, she insisted in belanjaing me for breakfast eventhough I declined repeatedly. And after that, I took a photo with YB Teh and YB Lydia Ong. But I cant upload it right now as someoone else took it for me using her camera. And, the YBs even asked for my handphone number, email and name you know! Walao! SO syokman! *winks and grins at selven, my colleague* XD

My god! Thank god I accepted the offer! It was so Damn FUN!!!

And finally, there's an interactive game. Its simple to play.
How to play :
1. Look at the newspaper cutting below.
2. Locate Me
3. Locate Me
4. Cant find? Try harder.
5. Try even harder.
6. There, I told you, definitely can find one!

Obviously Perak is now in a mess. With 2 Menteri Besars, one calling the other illegitimate, things can't probably be too good. Come to think of it, it's already a year past the March 8 political tsunami, and now the storm is not over YET. With 2 captains on board, how will Perakians sail through the stormy seas ahead?

The people's interest are at stake and the politicking still goes on. The people's voice are not being heard . They seem to be left out and the only people we see in the news are none other than politicians and their "friends"..........& Rihanna , Chris Brown of course. Where are the ordinary Perakians?

Hello guys. I have been real busy lately, well because of work and all. Now, I get to go under the hot sun doing ratings for endangered trails in Georgetown and not only do office jobs! But, I was a part time computer freak for now, because of MY efforts(lol), Anak-anak Kota finally has its own BLOG

http://anak-anak-kota.blogspot.com Come on go over there right now, no wait, after u read this blog of course.

Anyway, the real thing here is that, the day before yesterday was my first time driving on the road with a P license. Haha. Selven you lose!! Haha!

Anyway, Me, being the obedient law-abiding citizen drove so carefully and slowly along the Jelutong Expressway and suddenly this big asshole swerves out from his lane and nearly bangs into my car. It was a freaking lorry and he gave me some sort of freaking body language some more. Gilalah. Pilah Brother! Hoiyo!

Yesterday, it was one of Selven, my bozoic colleague with his pompoms ( thx villeena for informing me abt his little secret),'s luckiest days, as he got to be driven around by the man, ok not yet a man, the 3 quarter man who has the hands Guan Eng desperately needed to shake. All the way to PCGHS to drop off my sister, my mum being very critical of every tiny bit of my driving said her heart was thumping non-stop all the way and of course, Selven sitted at the backseat, kept complaining about my driving all the way. But you did say my driving was better than my motorcycle. Hence, thou shall be forgiven.

Anyway, when I was doing the endangered trail at chowrasta market, accompanied by old selven looking for locksmiths, we were commenting on a clothes and I came up with a new name for condoms. Hey, I am not being a pervert ok, just look at it scientifically, as a male contraceptive device.

" Pajamas for P*n*ses = condoms "~ tshin, 12th Feb 2009.

~Turn off your perverted brains people!~

and that I mean you, brother. You know who you are. XD LOL

Pai Ti Kong

2009-02-06T23:10:00.001-08:00

After returning from my first-ever one-storey plunge into the waters, it's time to do Some PRAYING! And this time, on the eighth day of Chinese New Year, we pray to Ti Kong which literally translates into The God of Heaven. This is a very very important day for the Chinese, especially the Hokkiens. In fact, this ceremony is even of more importance than the first day of Chinese new Year itself. This can be proven by the massive on-going display of fireworks all over Penang which is even on a bigger scale than on the first day of CNY.

So lets do a case study. What happens in the Khoo family?
The pictures will be able to tell the story from now on. Enjoy.

The offerings

CNY Eve 09

2009-01-25T02:50:00.000-08:00

Report
Chinese New Year Eve 2009 :

Washing my sexy and hot car

Presenting the new toyota model
Come to me, come.... *smiles freakishly like a pervert*

Aha. Check out the muscles.........and the ribcage...

Lo and behold. For a new superhero emerges....................................

The Housemaid
` CNY CHAOS `

In the name of justice and hygiene, the housemaid starts off on his quest to save the world once again from the evil dark forces composing of Mr and Mrs Dust who seem to be everywhere around us, General Leaves and his known infamously merciless partner in crime - the Birdshit strikeforce who have held supermaid's 50 year old Toyota Corolla in captive. It seems like an uphill battle for the Housemaid this time, a seemingly impossible task. Will he be able to save the day once again? Will he even make it out of this holy quest by the strike of midnight in one piece this time? Check the video out and see if he's able to make it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The answer is ....Yes he did. He did it! He swept, he mopped, he washed his car, and that only. Yes! The world is safe once again!

However, sunny it seemed at thast time, darkness swept in quickly. After doing some last minute New Years shopping for pagoda tshirt(those traditional langchia men or trishaw peddler used to wear), I returned in time for the reunion dinner. Somehow, I found out that some of the relatives who were living in Penang did not attend the reunion dinner( not the one in my house, its some relatives) claiming that it was too far. His family lives in Penang and he, as a son wont even come to the reunion dinner with his parents and siblings. THis is unacceptable. The dinner was after all on Penang island too. People fly in from the States, from Hong Kong just for that and you live in Penang and you cant give a better explanation. (once again this did not happen in my immediate family, its a relative whom I know really well). That was totally unacceptable.

Anyway, the news came soon after the dinner. My aunt got robbed. SHe called us and we went to see her at the police station. Her left window was smashed and broken. The robber grabbed one of the bags lying on the seat not knowing it was just empty paper files in a bag and dashed off in a motorbike. He was just 15 at most. Whats worst? It happened right in front of my aunts house. She did not even get out of the car when the asshole smashed hardly onto the window. The glass shrapnels penetrated quite a widespread part of her skin and boy the sight didnt really look good. Imagine that! Chinese new year eve! and they wont give us a break! Damn those people.

We fetched our aunt to the general hospital and the shrapnels were removed. WHen we first arrived at GH, we couldnt even locate the emergency department. The path leading to it was so dark and after a while, only could I figure out a "emergency" word on a signboard. No lights at all at that region. My goodness! If people were to be involved in a serious accident, and the person were to drive there, half dying , how would you expect he or she to even locate the emergency room? He or she'd be probably saved if not for the crappy lighting.

2009-01-13T07:04:00.000-08:00

Aha! I have just realized I have lost the ability to keep track of the days. Sunday, Monday, Saturday, Friday.. yeah watever. They seem the same to me. I have to say, now I can hardly find time to relax and unwind. Other than work with AAK, I have to go for both bike and driving lessons, lifesaving( which tops my favourites along side with AAK work ), volunteer work and ...hmm I have lost track. Anyway, it feels really awkward for me to see boys and girls in school uniform on buses and on the streets while I am not, for the first time. Well, the driving experience with me actually behind the wheel also gives me the somewhat quirky feel. I just cant reallly get myself used to driving a car. Even during driving lessons on the road, I cant help it but feel like I'm immersed in this dream-like feeling. I even tend to feel sleepy as I concentrate on the two white lines on the road, so that the car wont be swaying from left to right. THankfully I have a real nice and considerate instructor Mr Pang...unlike the previous one For sure, once I pass the JPJ test(hopefully I will), and I start driving on the road, the police may ask me to pull over.
" Boy, you macam underage memandu. License. License."

Well anyway, enough of driving. Yesterday, I went for volunteer work at Adventist Hospital as usual. It's really nice of Ms Wong to post me to different departments each time I go.
First, reception.
Then, medical records.
Next, finance department.
Now, Development.....

Development. Very positive word. Very positive, jolly people working there too. Though, all of them there were women. They were real friendly happy-go-lucky people, yeah just my type. So, what we did yesterday was setting up a counter for donation at the main entrance. From the counter, which served as a HQ, scouts were sent out to explain this donation program going on to people all over the hospital and solicit for donations. Here's how the " Make a Wish "program goes :
Aim : Raise funds for the childrens hospital.
Target group : Visitors and patients
Modus Operandi : Explanation and stretch- Hands-out(of course not like that lah)

Basically you can donate any amount that you like.
However heres the offer:
1) donate rm10 and u get a gold wishing star made of card. u fill in ur wishes and we hang it up on the large pinetree at the foyer or the cherry blossom tree ( which by the way is so full of such stars that one may think that stars, not leaves grow on trees.which of course is a good sign)

2) donate rm 100 and u get a red star. same procedure as above.

3) donate rm1000. ha........! and u get a fish! no not the one you have with deep fried garlic. It's a soft toy. We call it the "million dollar fish"

4) of course u could donate rm10000 and above......

ANd, oh yeah, I made a new friend today and I mean a friend that's hard to find! He's 12. He's chubby, cute. and he's an australian! What amazes me most is that he's so mature for his age and I dare say he's much more mature(though not in the physical aspect) than most of the friends my age and even some who are much older than I am, and I have to say in some aspects more than me too.

So how did I get to know this little chipmunk? I approached a lady who was accompanying her sick mum waiting at the reception and explained the donation progam to her. She listened to me explain all about it but initially she didnt really want want to donate(probably because she's not too sure whether I am a legitimate staff for adventist). Then, few minutes later, she was asking me over and from waht I could see, her son, a chubby little fellow has managed to persuade his mum to donate rm10. then, his mum suggested that he accompanied me to seek for donations since he was doing nothing waiting with his mum and grandma. ANd he willingly obeyed. And so, my little 2 hour journey with my newfound friend soon set sailed. We sailed through treacherous corridors, galloped across reception counters, brandishing our mighty brochures and gold cardboard stars, fighting for what is right and for the best of mankind, ....... by soliciting donations. Ahh you dont find such knights anymore do you?LOL.
At the end of the day, no no, at the end of my shift, we managed to collect RM 650 in total(that includes my two other friends' effort).

However, It was also quite disappointing as 70% of the people we approached refused to even let us explain to them, moreover donating a dime.

I have been writing about this same thing for the 3rd time. Why? Because everytime I am halfway through writing, with all the inspiration pouring in, my computer blackouts! 2 times and it wasnt autosaved.

I really got to go. Cant be late for the thing I am going for now or I'll risk losing my RM 200. Will update abt this thing I am going to tomorrow. No its no illegal activity.

So long!

Hello guys I'm back!!! Yeah I have not been updating my blog for quite some time. Well, I can hardly find time to do that nowadays. No. Simply not possible, not when one is working 9-6(as an intern for Anak-anak Kota),visits his ill grandfather at the general hospital after work and tutors his sister on her homework after dinner everyday ( a deal between me n my mum).

My grandfather's down with pneumonia and there's a high possibility that's not the only one illness that's robbing him of his ability and basic strength to rise & sit up straight, not to mention walk. He used to be an avid hiker. He climbs up hills even when he's already in his late seventies. He was a sportsman alright. He was. Now, he can't even walk without support. This seemed to happen overnight. Even after SPM, I could still remember him driving my sister to piano classes and all. Now, he can no longer drive definitely. When I accompanied him back from KL, he could still walk though in staggering foot steps. It's just unbelievable. However, he smoked. But he was definitely no irresponsible and inconsiderate smoker unlike the ones we see today. Yes, smoking is still wrong. Everytime he smokes, he "hides" and distances himself away from us. He knows the effects of second hand smoke to our lungs alright but still he tends to be ignorant of what cigarette smoke is doing to him.

Soon enough, his condition turned for the worse. He was warded. It was the typical open ward. A houseman who at one point was dealing with my grandpa was a total moron. He's not only impatient but rude. He gives us the feeling that he just hates dealing with patients. Why become a doctor in the first place asshole! If you cant deal with stress, dont let it out on the patients. Ok, before I get carried away cursing this piece of degenerate, I'll just put a cork to this bottled frustration and anger( we did not want to antagonize the doctors for the fear that they could just slip some kind of alkaloid into grandpas veins, though it may not be that farfetched) .But that was certainly a bad experience that we had at GH.

However, soon my grandfather was moved to the first class ward coz my aunts a teacher and its totally free. ANother thing about my grandfather is that he dislikes people helping him in anyway and he persists in doing everything he can. However, though on the surface, he hates to bother us, but we could still how badly he wanted us to be by his side.

Within his 4 day stay at the open ward which was solely for patients with respiratory disorders, 2 men just passed away right before my grandfather's eyes. One was just beside him. My parents and I myself ran into another one being pushed away in a metal "coffin" with words labelled Bukan Islam on its side.

So, it's a message to you smokers out there. Stop while you can before you lie on your deathbed regretting what you've just done with your life. My grandpa made a mistake and he regretted it. So lets hope we wont.

Le Tour De Penang

2008-12-30T05:51:00.000-08:00

Hello guys I am back! Now, i am going to talk about my first ever long distance cycling experience. I always had this impression that cycling was damn easy. Before SPM, I tried so hard to convince my parents to allow me to do something crazy- cycle down to KL to raise funds for Food Bank Penang. Well what the heck , it's just cycling and I rarely get tired from cycling. No that was stupid, that was immature of course. After participating in this Le Tour De Penang organized by the so-called Knights of the Round Table, I have had a change of mind. Le Tour De Penang is some sort of fellowship ride, not a race. It was supposed to be a 60km cycling event. We were to start from Padang Kota, head out to Teluk Bahang and back. That was already 60km. However, on that day, we were told that there was yet another route, a further route and a definitely much more challenging route where participants had to cycle to Checkpoint 1 at Teluk Bahang and then head up the hills and down again to Balik Pulau(yes from Padang Kota). Of course, 80% of the 1000 or so participants took the Teluk Bahang route.

Only a few cycling enthusiasts and veterans took the Balik Pulau Checkpoint 2 challenge. From checkpoint1 one can already see how steep the road up the Teluk Bahang dam is and that probably deterred many from trying out the Balik Pulau trip. Initially, I, together with my younger sister decided not to take up that challenge since it was our first time at a cycling event. 5minutes through and I turned back and headed for Checkpoint2. I am still not too sure why I did that but it was probably the feeling of "tak syok" if I did not take up the challenge. If I want to do something, I'll go for it all the way. That's me , even though sometimes I am acting pandai-pandai;.

So, I buat pandai-pandailah go for the "veterans only" checkpoint2. Boy, the first part was already terribly steep and took much effort to go uphill on a bike. Then, having passed the Teluk Bahang Dam ordeal, a more challenging path was laid before my eyes. The steep yet winding roads to Balik Pulau. Initially, surprisingly I did pass a few guys who were not first timers and the roads were still bearable for me. And then, it became harder and harder for me. I never did regret for taking the path though. AT one point, I was totally alone with no cars passing, no cyclists in front nor behind me and worst of all I was along one of the quiet winding roads at one of the highest points of the hill. I was totally alone. The forest were right beside me on my left and thank god I had my MP3 with me. Then, the sound of sudden movement in the dense jungle beside me cut through the silence surrounding me and it was so loud I could hear it even with the MP3 plugged in my ears. A chill ran through my spine. I cycled faster fearing it could've been a wild animal stalking me or worst, a supernatural being!!! Then, luckily, a tour bus came passed by and soon my bicycle accelerated as the roads began going downhill. Of course, the downhill portion of my ride was simply splendid. Then, I was cycling on flat ground. It's amazing to see vast and endless paddy fields as you cycle past these villages. And suddenly, you realize this is Penang. How can this be? I have never actually seen the other side of Penang until now. Even when I go to Balik Pulau, it's just the city centre that I'll get to see.

So I paddled and paddled, and all the cyclists who were already on the opposite side of the road going back while I was going to checkpoint 2 all greeted me with a smile(i dono if it was laughing at me for being pandai-pandai eventhough i was so slow or amazed at me, being a daring amateur who's also buat pandai-pandai ) and 2 of them even saluted me. Nevertheless, that section seemed never ending. Villages and villages swept by and I was beginning to feel the real pain and there it was just around the corner, a van with few orange knights of the round table- checkpoint 2. Then I resumed my journey, stopped at a grocery store for ice-cream(it was a hot day ok. even though I had paddle pop but it was real refreshing). After cycling more another 20 minutes, a MPPP truck to sweep up all the cyclists and fetch us back to Padang Kota for we were already out of time. Surprisingly, I was not the first, in fact there were 9 other adults who dressed very professionally unlike me behind me! (YAY! small applause for myself) As more and more cyclists were swept up, it became real crowded for us standing amidst the bicycles on the open truck. People were laughing at us whenever we passed by. Cyclist wannabes who could not finish the journey yet took the challenging path. Of course a few of them blamed the roti canai during breakfast for not being able to complete the journey and some said their seats were to hard it hurt their butts(it happened to me too). Then, when the truck reached Island Plaza, we agreed to cycle from there to Padang Kota, giving the false impression to the others at Pdang Kota that we have in fact finished the journey, saving us some face.

Of course, we were tired like we've been to hell when we were greeted with goodies bags and nasi kandar at padang kota when we arrived. There was a lucky draw as usual and the event ended with two lucky winners going home with a brand new Proton mountain bike. the no for the grandprize was 246 and my sister's was 245. Well what the heck! whats not urs isnt!

p/s :The photos will be uploaded tomorrow

signing off as its getting late(dont want to be late for work)

Tour De Kuala Lumpur

2008-12-26T03:09:00.000-08:00

And so on a sunny morning, three nerds stood gallantly on the more than majestic Platform 11/12 of the Royal Sungai Nibong Bus Terminal. As we boarded the bus in our shining armour, The Chung Ling Maths Nerds Envoy bade goodbye to Penang and began their long journey to Kuala Lumpur, the battlefield. Prepared to fight to their deaths, the 3 mathsketeers geared themselves up throughout the treacherous journey on the PLUS highway. One was to deal with the secondary school questions in 30minutes, the 2nd player was to finish 3 sets of sudokus in 30 minutes too and the last player(the brainy one) was to complete the more than challenging 30 IQ questions. We stopped at Klang, had our stomachs full of chicken rice and we were soon navigating through the extremely confusing roads of Klang in my beloved aunt Joon's Iswara. I'd really like to thank her for being so helpful throughout this trip. Not only did she ferried us around, but also so willingly allowed us to "tumpang" in her home. That was Friday.

Saturday. We arrived early fortunately for we could not locate HELP University College at first as we had to go down 2 flights of stairs before seeing a small door with HELP labelled above it.
I came in late for the briefing and 200 pairs of eyes were fixed upon me, scurrying across the front stage, apologizing repeatedly to the speaker. Then, my phone rang and I had to pick it up for it was Fahmi, Yokepin's contact person in KL who will be selling the AAK calendars at the KL Central Market. After making some arrangements, my aunt managed to pass the calendars to Fahmi while I calmed myself down for the competition. I was the first player.

Went in the "exam" room as my other friends waited alongside other player 2 and 3s. We were supposed to wear out school uniforms. However, a few boys and girls just dont seem to understand and some even wore hot pants to a maths competition. Boy, the question was quite tough but thankfully I managed to pull it through though not in a perfect manner. At the end of it, we were served Nasi Lemak for lunch. After 2 hours of long wait, we were finally allowed to enter the auditorium for the results. At that time, we were prepared not to get anything back. A net loss was definite as Kok Wei, too felt that he did badly at that time. We were team 4. ANd heres how the announcement went:
The first of the 3 finalists is team fourrrrrrrrrrrrrteen. Ahhh!
Second team , team fouuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrtyseven. My god!
Third team, team fourrrrrrrrrrrrrr(and that was the end)

Hah! Our legs went soft. We sat at our respective positions on stage and so the quiz began. And, miraculously, we won! The first prize for goodness sakes!!!!! Money and full scholarship to study A levels at HELP for the three of us. Gossssh!
Kok Wei playing the "mrbean" game during break

When we returned to our seats, the most astonishing and should i say thing to be proud of for me was the girls sitting behind me asked for my autograph and of course, I was shocked, petrified and of course (syoksendiri dan banggalah). I dont even know them, have not even spoken a word to them throughout the competition and here they are asking for my autograph. This was the first time someone actually asked for MY autograph, hence a historic day it is for me! Hence, of course I did give it to them and initiated a conversation with them until I was interrupted by the emcee (darn, i was about to get their emails or phone no.s)well, one has to stay connected with one's fans kan. (call me thick skinlah but i still feel very syokleh ;) )

We are so GAY(happy that is)!!!!

Nothing is ever complete without my signature post ;)
Then , our shopping journey began:

-Took a taxi to KL Central
-Took the Rapid KL to Pasar Seni
-Wandered around asking people how to get to Pudu from there
-Amazed at the number of immigrants in KL( everywhere we go, on the bus, Pudu 51 % of the -people there were not Malaysians in the Malaysian capital, how ironic)
-Bought engkeong n kokweis tickets
-took the LRT to Berjaya Times Square
-nearly got into a brawl with 6 Malay samsengs who was cari pasaling with us, since there were only 3 of us who were not locals. One of them deliberately hit the water bottle I was holding and I shouted loudly at him. He was kinda shocked became mad and came forward asking for a fight. Then I realized there's no good giving in to such a moron's wish- that is for a fight. Being a boy with severe inferiority complex, he must have wanted to flex his muscles in Berjaya Times Square. Seeing that we were 3 nerds who were not locals while there were 6 of them hooligans, we could not have possibly won and boy they looked dangerous. Hence, we kinda quickly scurried off. Hah! Degenerates! - that was the only bad experience that we had.
- after strolling around for another 3 hours, we took the LRT back to KL Central
-from Kl Central, we took the superbly crowded KTM Komuter to Subang Jaya
- then we met this really really nice Malay bus driver who offered to send us right to my aunts house even though buses dont go as far as my aunts house. He was real friendly, helpful and well he did look like TOm Cruise, no wonder all the Indonesian girls were all sitting next to him, trying to catch a wink i suppose.

Sunday- my friends went back first as I scouted around for colleges together with my uncle

Monday- took a bus back from Klang. the driver was another asshole. my grandfather who's really sick and weak, was walking quite slowly back to the bus from the restroom and yes the bus was waiting for him. And the driver was like telling the other driver impatiently :

"aiyo apek jalan begitu lambat. tgklah dia, jalan relax sje, tgk dia jalan pun taulah dia. slow slow sje
aiyo apek cepatlah. haiyerrrr! "

Stupid fellow. You seem to forget that one day u will grow old and weak too. Takda brains memang takda brains punya organismlah.

And that was my trip to KL. Now, being extremely exhausted after cycling from Padang Kota all the way to Balik Pulau, I can no longer blog on this great experience of mine.

So long!

First day at work

2008-12-16T05:48:00.000-08:00

Oooooh I am so excited! :) Today is the first day I am going to work at a hospital , as a volunteer of course and I am really excited and happy knowing that I'll not only be able to adapt myself to working environment but also knowing that I have not wasted my holiday being a couch potato like what I did after PMR. Yes, this time will be much different. I will soon be real busy with Anak-anak Kota work with Janet, Yoke Pin and my mum. Back to the story, And so I woke up at 6.30am, hopped on my brand new bike and off I go cycling with my sister. Then, we headed off for Adventist Hospital located just opposite OneStop or more commonly known as Looking Good. Reported in, met the real friendly Ms Wong in charge of the Adventist Volunteer Service, answered a few questions, read the Volunteer Guidebook and soon enough Ms Wong led me on a tour of the hospital.

Then I started work. I was to help out at the reception or registration counter. Boy, thankfully my seniors who were like older sisters such as June who was my best friend there, "Auntie" who's been working there for 20 years, Sister Prema who helps us send the registration forms done to different departments and Ms Dorris who's really cute and naughty. They were really friendly and they really guided me and helped me out. Here, I'd like to express my sincere appreciation and many thanks especially to June who has been a great colleague from whom I learned a lot (plus she treated me to a piece of a SUPERBLY rich and sweet chocolate cake heehee!!!).

I did some paperwork, showed patients around the hospital, had my free lunch at the cafeteria ,carried goods around the hospital and tried to comfort a poor senior patient who lost her entire luggage of medicine and clothings at the Penang International Airport. It was a real eye-opener for me and it was fun! If you were a patient or a visitor today, one of the first people that would've greeted you would be ME, sitting right in front of the large "Adventist Hospital - The passion to heal, the heart to care" board shining down on me. ;) Not only that, I had the privilege of using the toilet with the sign saying " No admittance. Staff only". What an honour! LOL. We were really busy in the morning as patients kept pouring in and most of them were Indonesian Chinese. That , surprised me. At a glance, they all looked like the typical Malaysian Chinese, they spoke Chinese and some even spoke Hokkien, but when they started conversing in Bahasa Melayu with the "true" receptionists I was helping out, the Indonesian accent kinda freaked me out.

OF all the sections or departments i visited, I decided that I would like to be a volunteer at the Dialysis centre. All the people there looked really depressed and it really gets into me too. Yes, who wouldnt. Hence, I hope I will be able to have the opportunity to be a volunteer there. If given the opportunity, I'd really like to go up to them and just talk to them and listen to them talk, just to be a companion, make their 4 hour session a happy one,just to let them know that people do care about them, remind them of how they can still live a happy life. Yes, I am not a saint. I may not be able to do just all that. No, I cant. But I'll try my best. Somehow I feel that I have that special connection or tendency to communicate, interact and care for the less fortunate especially senior citizens ever since I helped my mum out for the " care for the senior citizens" program organized by my mum at our residents association when I was in Form 1 or 2. That I have to say was a good program. Hence, it would be my great pleasure if I were to be given the chance to serve at the dialysis center.

As a conclusion, considering the fact that I have not only learned more about what working life's like, experiencing the working environment and stress people face working in a hospital but also made new friends.

Alas,
Thank you June!
Thank you Auntie for giving me that encouraging smile the first time you introduced me to Ms Wong and also all those times when I felt really lost and stupid.
Thank you Sis Prema for being my friend and helping me out.
Thank you Ms Dorris for making me carry rolls and rolls of paper and thank you Ms Wong for believing in me!

Saturday
And so someone finally decided to take the initiative to organize a 6M primary school reunion and no the person was'nt me, it wasn't any of the boys in 6M and no we're not ashamed of ourselves for not doing so or maybe just a little. I would like to thank our old classmate Eelyn for that. The venue: Seoul Garden, Gurney Plaza. Somehow most gatherings are held at Seoul Garden. hmmmm..... The last time I had lunch there, it cost me RM19.90 and now suddenly, just because its a Saturday, the price nearly doubled. There were 3 tables booked for us altogether. One was an all males table, another all female table and lastly the "mixed" table. Most of the boys and girls were still shy. Level of communication was way low. I was expecting all of us to be mingling freely as it should be in a reunion. Yeah we were shy. But, I did succeed in overcoming the shyness in me though not totally ;). And do accept my sincere apologies Ms Agnes as I have yet again failed to recognize you( you have to understand you did not have hazel brown eyes at the start of the year;) )

I would say most of my male classmates were really shy too as was I initially. My mum would say typical Chung Ling boys. Yeah, I find that to be really true. Most Chung Ling boys just dont seem to be able to communicate well with the opposite sex. Yes, I have to admit that. I have seen a lot of such cases though there are,few, of those who interact really well and in some cases "exceptionally" well with girls;)

For most of the Chung Ling boys I realized, are not a friendly lot. There was this instance where a Malay girl about the same age as me tried to initiate a conversation with one of my schoolmate by asking him his age and school but he turned away, not answering the question. He turned to another friend and told him the Malay girl was nuts talking to him when she doesnt really know him at all. Come on, we are all students of the same class of a driving school. And mind you, that isnt the only case I have witnessed. In some cases, i also tend to feel that Chung Ling students regardless of their age tend to be slightly snobbish and most of the time even arrogant if u, one can really smell the air of "confidence" or should I say gigantic ego and pride carried around with them. Hence, they feel they are of an upper class which of course I do not agree. Yes there are such people. But, no I am not condemning the school. It's a fact. However, pls be advised that NOT ALL Chung Ling students are as such. There are the gentlemen, the knights in shining armor who may gallop into ur everyday life once a while ---- and by that I am referring to the writer of this blog- ME. (sticks tongue out) ;) vanity perhaps )

after lunch, a group photo was taken at the foyer of Gurney Plaza and some of us went to watch the Day the Earth stood still. Nice movie I must say, though it maybe short (1.5 hours) for RM 10. It's practically about us human beings being green criminals and villains. Nice show once again. Dont miss it!

" A friend in need is a true friend indeed."
Sometimes, one just finds a true friend even thru small events that occur.
Hence, special thanks to my dear friend Yee Hau for giving me a lift home. If not for Yee Hau, I would've been squatting along Gurney Drive for 2 hours till 8.45pm waiting for the T304 Rapid Penang bus which is so EFFICIENT by the way even after the complaints made! Indeed, a true friend who comes to save me ,in not a shining armor but a Harrier, shall be cherished. You have my gratitude, Mr Entao Leow!

Sunday
StarWalk!! Arghh! The bozo wakes up early, gets dressed and heads out to Penang International Sports Arena (PISA) with his family at 6.15am. The crowd was big as usual. Though I have to say, the Starwalk this year was badly organized. Most of the participants were told to gather before the finishing line and so we, as obedient citizens did. The finishing line was far apart from the starting point where the governor was supposed to flag off the race and people were sardine-packed behind the finishing line. And, the next thing we knew, a faint sound of a gunshot was heard and far in front of us, the other participants who were far in front at the starting point started off and we seeing that, wrestled out of the crowd and followed. Hence, it can be said that it was really unfair for all of us behind the finishing line as we were told to do so. Most of the people were also in the mist. We were told to gather there and the marshals would instruct us to go forward to the starting point when the time came. Hence, when i arrived after the long walk, there was a group of veteran athletes voicing out their dissatisfaction over the issue and some complained to the marshals. But what can they do?

The next thing that I can really laugh at, yet get exasperated at was the attitude of some of the participants in the competition category which I am in. Children, teenagers and fully grown adults cheated. Yeah they were not supposed to run and yet they did. This is Starwalk ar Uncle not Starrun. Come onlah you pay and come for a competition like this and you want to cheat ar. Aiyo sia suilah begini. Memang ada 13-17 year old boys who refuse to obey the rules so that they may be able to get a prize. But Adults doing that???? Come onlah! That is unacceptable and yes they do know that they should not run. It wasnt their first time because they knew that the marshals stationed along the route would take their numbers down if they did run and not walk and disqualify them. So, the participants this year got more cunning and sly, they no longer needed to look back and forth the route to ensure that no marshal was looking while they ran., they simply took off their numbers pinned behind and in front of their Tshirt and so the marshals could not disqualify them as there were no numbers to identify who they were. One of them had their numbers in hand and pinned them back on when they were about to reach the finishing line. Come onlah, have sportsmanshiplah. Pathetic man! They are not only making a fool out of themselves but also, depriving other adults from what they deserve.

One particular case impressed me the most. 2 men in their 40s jogged passed me(yes its against the rules) but what they did was extraordinary and was definitely for the good of their family. They obtain the wristbands for their family members which must be worn by every participant. Then, the event started and they jogged happily with their bulging biceps and triceps, till they reached nearly half the route where their wives and kids were waiting for him on the opposite side of the road. They crossed over to receive the wristbands from their amazing fathers and started walking when we as obedient participants with principles and sportsmanship can only look on as our muscles start to ache after walking thru 5km of hell(no it wasnt that bad) . That's just outright cheating. Yes, even if they did win, what is there to be proud of? As a father, he thinks he's doing his job , but is he??? What he does not realize is he's instilling the value of cheating, the value of doing whatever it takes to get to the top in his sons and daughters. It's a disgrace. Of course, I happen to see one of my Chung Ling schoolmates doing things like that too. Pathetic.

This year, my inspiration came from a 70 odd years old uncle who walked along side me for part of the journey and yes soon he was far ahead of me already. He too condemned those mentioned above. I followed his pace, his rythm whenever I could spot him. He's fast, real fast for some one his age. Thats why he has my salutations and respect.

Then came the lucky draw, long awaited by the 13,000 participants. As the value of the prizes grew bigger and bigger as mentioned by the emcee, the patience of the people grew thinner and thinner. Furthermore among the lucky numbers chosen, there were instances where numbers like 09921, 09922, 09923, 09924, 09925 and even 09929 were kinda "coincidentally" picked and that is not the only case. However for those having the numbers from03000 till 04000 and 06000 till 07000 had no luck at all as not one number was selected for these two thousand unfortunate people. Well, what the heck, yes I do want the Suzuki motorbikes but well whats not yours isnt urs then. Of course we met all kinds of people there. There were also those inconsiderate enough who will take ur newspaper even knowing that its urs while u read the Sunday section and place the main section of the papers right beside u after reading it without asking. There are also those who would stand in front of a whole group of audience , blocking everyones vision and yet throw tantrums and refuse to move away even when told nicely to do so. It's really hard to believe how such people can have such "thick skins" as the Hokkiens would call it.

P/S :The photos will be uploaded as soon as possible once i get it from dear Eugene.

Signing off, really tired. :)

A fruitful weekend

2008-12-07T06:48:00.000-08:00

Arghhhh! They got my name, address, message for my friends and school all wrong in my graduation magazine and I am well, utterly disappointed with it. I am curious how can they get my name wrong and add another no 4 to my address and yet again get my personal message wrong whereas there were no mistakes for my other schoolmates. Come on, this is a a once in a life time graduation magazine. Dont they do proofreading? Well i am sure they do but why me only??????

Well what the hecklah! Anyway, whats more important is that I have spent a more than fruitful weekend.

Saturday
Woke up early on Saturday. Yes as early as 5am to accompany my sis and parents to Campbell street Market for the Opera Pasar performance. I have to say, it was a really great performance. The dim sum scene, the berus gigi chant, fantastic, graceful and really cute and chubby dancers... all add up to make this musical production a unique one. Basically, their message was to save and preserve this historical Campbell street market. The crowd was supportive and yes AAK came out on the Star Metro again! However, I feel that we really need to have a large reusable banner which says something like " this is a AAK presentation. " as sort of a publicity strategy and hang it up as a backdrop for every AAK performance.

Next , my father and I went over to Khoo Kongsi and boy, there were waves and waves of tourists coming in and in. We did not need to pay for we were clansmen and my father went on with his research on Khoo Kongsi. I have to say, my father is now really crazy over his research work on Khoo Kongsi that he works till early mornings to complete his Indiana Jones- like journal.
AAK in ACTION!

Sir Francis Khoo

Sunday
woke up late having watched Friends on the net till 2 .30 am the previous night. Headed for breakfast- Hokkien mee along Beach Street ( it was good. recommended) and for Little Penang Street Market where the next performance was to be held. Helped set up the AAK booth with Siew Bee and Li Fen where paintings, sketches and calendars done by children and students during the arts workshop were displayed and sold. I must say I was quite impressed with the fact that Penangites and tourists alike have become more aware of supportive of Little Penang. The crowd was arousing. Opera Pasar was to be the first performance and the audience LOVED it. Then, right after the show, an announcement was made and me and my team went in ----- to sell the handpainted-scanned-reprinted AAK calendars to the audience. Zhao Wei and I sold quite a number of calendars ( which surprised me ) to the very supportive crowd along with our other "competitors" : Pei Shan, Siew Bee , my mum, dad, and Jens team.

Lepas tu, pergi Padang have Lok Lok. Went back, slept ,had dinner, studied my undang and update this blog
Attention ladies : Check out the boy with the muscles, no not the one with the cap

Finally ... an update on our graduation

2008-11-27T01:14:00.000-08:00

haizzz. its finally the end. not a happy ending though... chinese...est...biology......
well what the heck! its over! i just cant really imagine myself reaching the end of my school life just like that, i'll never get or should i say need to wear school uniforms... that feels really odd and kinda scary. It's all too fast.

So, yeah, on the graduation ceremony or smg. Well, I was quite nervous abt giving the speech. well i managed to pull through, at least i did not peed in my pants or lose my voice at the podium. Then, the prize presentation ceremony followed. Before I gave my speech, only then did I get to know that I had miraculously won myself the "outstanding graduate" no, not the most outstanding of course. But wow! I was really shocked, astonished. What???? Me?? an "outstanding" graduate? Well I was wrong then and thankfully i did apply for the award. I just wanted to give it a try with no intention of winning anything and also yes, for the interview experience. I went in there, prepared not to get it, cracked a few jokes, answered everything the HM, Mr Yeap, Mr Lye, Mr Chua, Pn Chan and Mr Cheah threw at me. Well they asked and I told them why I did not hold any high posts in school and all. Well, I never knew the school acknowledged outside-of-school activities.

Hence, in conclusion, SMJK Chung Ling DOES support such community and outofschool activities, its just that most of the students themselves arent interested and as proactive themselves. Haha. Janet was so wrong then.I believe the main factor would be their parents. Most parents nowadays really have a knack at pushing their children to their toes in terms of academics and protecting their children in cocoons.

So, back to the graduation ceremony...
And then came the outstanding student award presentation, I was really astonished and grateful to be able to allow my parents to accompany me up stage for the award presentation. My parents were also really really shocked..Haha. Indeed my parents were in fact the reason why I could've won this. Thanks to my parents punya open mind and really creative way of educating me.
really thanks dad thanks mum!

Not only that, i would also like to really thank my friends and classmates for being A friend to me and gave me the support I needed.
Thank you! I really felt really touched when Xiang Yih and Dee Sheng decided to make me my very own (ok i m not being vain, this is what they wrote) " Teng Shin NO1 " on a really large card Xiang Yih bought and my classmates held it up for a moment when I was about to give the speech before it was confiscated by Pn Chong Sim. I have been trying to see her to get the card back but now that its the holidays, shes not in school no more. I do hope she did not throw that away. Thank you Xiang Yih, thank you Dee Sheng, thank you 5SA5!!!

Of course, I would also like to thank my teachers.
Mr Ch'ng Chin Huat - our adorable and respected Add Maths sir who is also a very caring teacher and great teacher advisor to the School Action Board.
Pn Oon - my caring form teacher and really creative teacher
Pn Kang Kul Lee - our really dedicated BM teacher who gave me the honour of representing all students for the speech
of course Mrs Goh - our best chemistry teacher ever
Pn Wong - the very supportive though strict disciplinarian sejarah teacher
Pn Ooi - our bc teacher
Pn Kong- our f4 bc teacher
Mr Lim - our cool entao really dedicated Bio guru who makes his own notes
Pn Poh Chai See- though our class was really noisy and even made u cry haha
Mr Ong - P.moral guru who makes his moral lessons a fun jolly lesson

oh yeah n the photos will be updated in the next post...as i m still collecting them

My sister goes to quite a famous and so-called prestigious Chinese Girls High School in Penang (I think you know which school I am referring to) and recently she was penalized, not for having long fingernails, not for disobeying the teacher but for.. what I believe is the most outrageous thing ever........ for bringing the READERS DIGEST magazine to school!Marks were deducted from the stupid blue book. Imagine that! I am not saying this just because this happened to my sister but I feel it's just total crap! Its not that she brought Vogue or Feminine or some so-called bahan picisan. In fact, Readers Digest gives me more than what I can ask for from freaking textbooks!

It was a spot check conducted by the prefects and the disicipline teacher just would not admit and she kept on stressing on the point " Its black n white! We go law by LAW! You have to folllllllow the school rules. The school rules have clearly stated that no magazines are to be brought to school without obtaining the approval and a special " Permit or slip" .

Damn those rules.

We set the rules. We dont simply go by the rules blindly. Stop acting a kid for goodness sake! According to the rules, students would have to go see the English teacher every morning just to obtain a slip so that one can read the READERS DIGEST in class. How absurd! How can you instill reading habit in students if such rules and most importantly such stubborn disicipline boards still exist?

The Exams

2008-09-24T00:46:00.000-07:00

Haihzzz. Its 3 days to the end of the prelude to another ordeal. It's hard to imagine. Time does zip past so quickly. SIghs n whines. At the start of the year, I told myself yes I have to PIA have to put in more effort in my studies. This is the SPM year. I am about to face one of the most important exams in my life. That was January. I looked at the calendar- 330 odd more days to SPM. What the heck! I keep giving myself excuses like Everyone's gotta play. All study n no play makes tshin a dull boy.......... In the end, all play n no work. Regrets & full of remorse. Now, the trials is almost close to its end. I look back at what I've done this year and I feel even more dissatisfied with myself. The trials has really burned away all my mental calories. I am mentally exhausted. I wonder how long will it take for me to regain control. That's probably why I have not being updating this for quite some time.

Nevertheless, my boredom was fast diminished as the political atmosphere here in Malaysia gets really tense or foul once again. Immaturity of some of the so-called community leaders and politicians surfaces yet again. Get a few brainless vociferous degenerates, a few courageous reporters and a few more dopes of blurness n desperateness armed with a shield of draconian law and you get what you get today in Malaysia not to mention the anticipation for change in this country.

Now, one place I would really love to be is where I was 3 months ago- on a slow moving wooden boat overlooking the vast ,perfectly beautiful skies ever with shades of blue, red, yellow and green, listening to the orchestra of the wild, the humming of the small electric motor, the splashing of the brownish yellow water of the Kinabatangan, and of course at intervals, mesmerized while peeping through a friend's binoculars to get a closer look of the almost perfect
2 π r square round red asses of the endangered male Proboscis monkey giving us a funny
face as he mates with his 7th or maybe 18th concubine on a tree branch overlooking us as he does his thing while we watch.

I still recall falling in love with that forest and I still long to just allow one's self to be amazed by how truly mesmerizing nature can be, and not through the pathetic KBSM Textbooks which tells us to love the forest and more bullshit where we will have to regurgitate that out in the SPM

2008-09-06T08:23:00.000-07:00

I have not updated my blog for quite sometime, obviously but nevertheless, here's a brief post before the trials in 3 days time.

Penumpang- penumpang konnonya. takda banyak komen lagi.

Georgetown World Heritage Site Celebrations

2008-07-27T05:16:00.000-07:00

Before

Friday, Saturday, Sunday. The world heritage celebration kicks off on Friday with the tour of the historical sites of Georgetown with Lim Guan Eng while Natasha and u-jean led batches of students through the streets of Georgetown. My heart was already leaping with joy in school, anxiously waiting for the bell to ring, for me to be released, for me to rush home, take my bath have my lunch and out I go to the bus stop. Nevertheless, mum returned unexpectedly and so no more bus ride and I wont be late. After 3 rehearsals, today would be our tech rehearsal with all the lightings and all. One of the rooms in the Town Hall acted as our rest area and preparation area. Gosh bangganya kita, imagine the honour of being the opening scene of this grand event for Penangites- right after the governor's and CM's speech!!!! Haha!

At the air-conditioned backstage, we were amused by Chin Eng's amazing magic tricks where he pulled white canvas from his teh tarik cup placed on against his lips. I was like really nervous as I was quite afraid I would hit someone (especially natasha whom I have hit for quite a number of times) or something ( the gigantic speakers) with my bendera merah. Sorry natasha if you're reading this....... Not only that, we also set the record-breaking longest, most number of repeated singing of a boria verse together with the copper coil turning effect hand movement:
Kisah Pulau Pinang tajuk dan tema,
tempat persinggahan berbilang agama,
pelbagai bangsa bercampur bersama,
boria anak kota dendang seirama.

and saturday finally came, but wait, I had to go to school. Damn it! But it was rather pointless to do so. The BM teacher wouldnt be coming but no, I had to come, for Mrs Goh's never-to-be-missed CHemistry lesson and also Pn Wong's History lesson. Hence, right after Mrs Goh's class, I requested permission to return home early due to the reason that I was sick( with Mr Chng's full cooperation and help) from bilik Disiplin 1. Thank you Mr Chng, you're the lao hero! I contracted a real bad cold actually due to the fact that I washed my hair and bathed with freezing cold water on Friday night at 12.30am.............

Took a nap and went straight for AAK. Well, since I had the time, I decided to do T-shirt printing with the help of Pei Shan , Mun HOe and AUnt Lyndie. That shirt was real nice! The one and only t-shirt u can ever find coz it has my large handprint on it. Then, we realized we were so late and we had to rush over to Esplanade from Cannon Street on foot.

We arrived and Janet was already doing the War chant part with us. Last minute changes on performing night- typical Janet. But that's what gives that LIFE to our shows which other shows dont possess. The weather wasnt on ur side this time, it was so clear yesterday but today, there were strong winds, little rain- the 2 chillies placed on top of the two supporting structures of the stage wasnt working. Reinforcement(a plastic bag of onions, garlic and chilli) was sent in by Hun Meng and miraculously, it worked, the rain stopped and the wind calmed down. Initially, the wind was so strong it kinda destabilized the tall background photos depicting Francis Light and it was like gonna fall onto us on the front stage. Darn, that was a scary sight! WOrst, nthe spotlights above us were so gigantic and heavy-looking that if it fell onto me, I would be no more than an apom gone wrong.

THen I met my old friend, Yu Ming who was from PCGHS and was also performing tonight together with Syafinaz under the Penang Symphony Orchestra and Choir. They were the last show of the night singing Tanah Pusaka. We rehearsed again and finally it came, we were just before the stairs up the stage when the fireworks display went on. Truly mesmerizing though not as much as what we were gonna be(LOL).

Mahathir Lokman was the MC for the night and he was basically saying that Penang is a special place for him as he was taken to Penang by his dad every time he scoredAs in his exams. Finally, were on stage and I am like " I can believe it. I cant believe this is my last show for the year or maybe the last Kisah Pulau Pinang ever for all of us". It went on with everyone so bersemangat and it was a good show according to Prof Tan ( ah bangganya kita).

It was supposedly a happy night for us but then Selven slipped and fell on a pool of water where apparently 5 people nearly slipped earlier that evening(davina, sabrena were one of them). We were all shocked and really praying hard for Selven. I was hoping he did not injure his back and spine(thankfully he didnt) as he was carried out in a stretcher. Mun Hoe nearly cried. I dont usually feel the sensation of the urge to cry but this time I did. Most of us felt that too when we saw Selven being carried out on a stretcher with his eyes closed but we were much relieved when bansiang told us hewas conscious. Thankgoodness he had strong bones. And now everythings ok and he's kicking again...Alrite!!

Well we also took the opportunity to take a few photographs with the local artistes present that night. Alleycat, Syafinaz, "P.Ramlee" and Zaibo..... We werent allowed to leave town hall after our performance but chin eng and I kinda sneaked out just in time to see David Arumugam sing "andai kamu pergi dulu" and another song. the end finally came at around11.45 pm where we came out again for the finale where we stood side by side with all the other performers, singing Negaraku and the state Anthem with total semangat dan passion which I have never ever experienced in school assemblies. The event ended with TYT and GUan Eng leaving.

After.....

Mixed feelings. Sad yet happy. It's a goodbye once again to this bunch of great and best friends. Now it's all the way to SPM which is (3 months away)

Mari kita bersama-sama berjuang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love,
tengshin

ELS AGM - KPA Anniversary

2008-07-15T04:01:00.000-07:00

and so it finally came, the Annual General Meeting of the ENglish Language society of Chung Ling High School. It is one of the most anticipated ceremony of the year. Meanwhile, the committee members are leaving with mixed feelings. Some could not care less, some unwilling to let go, some with much dissatisfaction & some with absolute T.L.ness(youknowwho)............. It went on well and the prizes for the English Fest were given away to the winners who are not quite contempt with what they are getting. As for those who applied for posts, they were treated to much disappointment due to the sudden change of Mdm Cheah's decision to announce only the names of the EXCO members considered.

What the heck is that!!! Was that one of the agenda for the AGM???

" You got a problem with me? Try me! "

Laporan KPA Anniversary

Now, as for the truly ANTICIPATED KPA anniversary, it was well, quite alright. It was considered to be a national event although there were only 3 other schools participating which are PCGHS, Chung Hwa Confucian & Chung Ling Butterworth( a school from overSEAS). Yeah, as expected Chung Ling kias were treated to a variety of "mouthwatering" eye candies for some while a few who were in the "Upper class" (LOL) weren't even interested due to the unsatisfactory quality perhaps. Basically the anniversary was 100% performances. There were the skimpily and believe me, very sexily-dressed "devils and angels"(mostly girls,much to the satisfaction of many) from each school doing the catwalk, singing competitions, one 3 minute dance session, breakdancers stomping the stage and among them, the most impressive one - ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ APPLAUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~SALUTATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tommy Gan and Calvin Khor ( the Shufflers)

I was really impressed with them although at the same time I was quite glad I did not join them in the end. I would have wrecked the show if I were to go out there and be a "Ki Tong". I would also like to take this opportunity to thank ah Gan for deciding to invite me out to do our signature" chest-shaking dance" during the climax of the dance. But, sorry Mr Big Gan, I couldn't know when were you giving me the signal as the stroboscopic light effects were really -cool .... yet memeningkan. I Salute them once again!!! They were really way cool! Plus the music was really fitting and the stroboscope effect really brought your dance moves to the peak!

Bravo brothers!!!!

After enduring 3 hours of darkness in the really seeeeeearing schol hall, I decided to go get some fresh air, joining Juan Juan & Ming Ming. We decided to do something more productive- brainstorming for karangan isis at the amphitheater under the pleasant sun. How nice & siao! LOL

Ahem!

Kuiz Sejarah

2008-06-15T05:07:00.000-07:00

See me ? haha! We were not quite satisfied as we hoped to be able to represent Penang in the upcoming National Quiz on Sejarah. Here's how it went..
So on Thursday morning, I arrived at school as usual, early and I got my testimonials from my form teacher to be submitted to the MOE of Singapore for my ASEAN scholarship application and obtained the blank papers with the prestigious Chung Ling letterheads on it, with much difficulty due to lack of cooperation of some fellow high positioned bozos. Nevertheless, I wish to thank Ms Elizabeth Aw and MR Yeap Hock Chye, our beloved yet entao ass. HM and not to forget my dedicated form teacher Pn Oon who were most helpful. Then, I shitted in school for the second time since I first set foot here, in Chung Ling. Anyway, after all those, I submerged myself once again into the Sejarah textbooks. That was stressful to finish the Sej syllabus from F1 to F3 in two days was indeed a killer for me.

At 12, we embarked on our little journey to Jawi for the competition. We were to face 3 other schools shortlisted who were SMK SoSad, SMK Bukit Mertajam and Jit Sin. And so it started after we had Malay economy rice. We were quite nervous , seeing that there were more than 300 supporters of the other schools who were all from the mainland looking up at us. And so the game started, our first question hit us hard, blew our confidence 3 yards away. But nevertheless, we managed to answer the following questions until bad luck settled in. We simply chose quite a number of F5 Questions (we were told to concentrate on F1 to F3 by the organizers but nvmlah) which further erased any possibility of winning. The emcee kept mentioning ENFAGROW and about me being excited every time i stood up to answer a question. NO doubt, I was really cute and adorable there. The Malay girl sitting beside me( the champions) was like a walking Sejarah Textbook , I believe not to be of common genetic characteristic of a typical Homo Sapien. They deserved to win but us being losers, tried to console ourselves with the peribahasa" menang jadi arang, kalah jadi abu". Here are the photographs and one will not forget the SUPERB performance by a group of future Malaysian Idols....... Enjoy

Indiana Khoo and the Sukau Rainforest

2008-06-04T07:33:00.000-07:00

Indiana Khoo is Back from the wild!
I never knew paradise was only a sea away until now. It's truly inspiring to be away from all the busting city life, just to be here, in Sukau, surrounded by never ending green carpets and 31 other crazy nature loving folks. When can one get this opportunity again? This is where one suddenly sees the “light” after 16 years just to admire, really appreciate and sense the desperate need to just sweep all of these into my embrace. To have both your legs sink 3 feet into a bottomless mud pit, to be able to see a night sky filled with infinite number of stars which one will never see back home in Penang, that is something one can never describe and experience through solely textbooks and the Discovery Channel.

I just came back from Sukau, Kinabatangan, Sabah, Malaysia. It was an incredible , awesome journey. It was organized by the Star in collaboration with D Jungle People. We were and are called the P2P Greeniz Educator. 32 of us supposedly chosen from 200 applicants (hehez tats wat they said) had this amazing opportunity to explore the wildlife in Kinabatangan.
Theres only one word, yes one word to describe that place - Breathtaking!
Hence, allow me to describe my adventure from day 0.1 to 29th of May :

Saturday, first day of the holidays:
Took a bus to KL at 7. Was very very very very frustrated. Doof that bus company. The bus had like around 5 to 6 stops to pick up passengers from Penang to Butterworth to Jawi... Really annoying. But i managed to bury myself in the book i was reading The Rape of Nanking. It's hard to be distracted by the outer surroundings when one is gets so shocked and immersed in the brutality of the Japanese beasts back then. No offence but what the Japanese soldiers did should earn them eternal damnation. Those b*stards. ANd whats the problem with them till now? The Japanese government still refuses to admit the atrocities done by their predecessors back then. Ironically, the ex soldiers who are still unfortunately alive are smiling through the lenses of the camera of the Discovery Channel crew when they were being interviewed about what they have done. DOOF YOU MAN! Mind you but sticking a bamboo stick into a young 16 year old girl's vagina is DAMN inhumane, satanic ! Ok enough of the sadism, now upon reaching PUDU, i had lunch with my mum there. ANd i Was so shocked to find out that KL, the capital of Malaysia, is filled with immigrants: Indonesians, Bangladeshis, Nepalese, Burmese, Siamese, You name it KL has it! It's not unusual at all to say that the population of immigrants alone overshadows the Indian population here. Scaryyyyy. SOmething needs to be done. Lets return to our adventure, so we had lunch at PUDU - 1 duck rice and 1 charsiew rice for me. As an ever-loving, charity-loving boy, I donated some money to some really cute schoolchildren(PLs note I am Not a paedophile) to help in the relief efforts in CHina. Later, hopped onto a LRT to my relative's house to prepare myself for tomorrow's great adventure.

Day1 - Indiana Khoo wakes up at 3am. Left for the LCCT with a wary heart. Heart thumping thrice as fast, hands and legs feeling the chill. It's not unusual if you initially thought that you are the only one from Pg. No friends with you. Heading out to a place where you have never ever set foot on, a place famous for its headhunters. Hah! If you were me, I bet you'd be munching on your own balls too. Indy's first time at the LCCT. After registering with the Star people on guard there, I checked in and had my breakfast in the Malaysian beggar mode. Surprisingly, the LCCT's McDOnalds was swarming with people. After bidding goodbye to my aunt, uncle and my mum, I checked in through immigration and off I go to the waiting area, Gate 9 if I am right.
Fortunately, I wasnt the only shy guy. From the looks of the other participants at the waiting area, they wore an expression that was exactly the same as mine. :|
So, the plane arrived at around 7 am and we boarded the plane. I sat next to a Malay Pak Cik and Mak Cik who was rather friendly. I was quite excited at this point. This was going to be my first time to Borneo. And so I decided to continue reading my sadistic book, The Rape of Nanking. When we landed, it was rather weird to me that we were the only plane at the Sandakan airport. Now, when we were about to leave the plane, my personal alarm in my backpack RANG suddenly, and everybody kinda panicked for a moment. Ada bom ah? Takda, bukan bomb, alarm sje!
very very embarassing indeed. After meeting up with the other P2P participants from Sabah at the airport and John and Mei Cheen, we gathered for a moment of short briefing by the facilitators(thats where I met my first 2 new friends- RIchard and Patrick) before leaving for the jetty. From the jetty, another 3 hours boat ride to the Sukau Rainforest Lodge. We were cruising along the Kinabtangan river and at one point, we were very fortunate to be able to witness a herd of elephants by the riverside. Some were having their lunch, some getting horny and flirtatious. The photos of them in the slides below. There were also villages along the river bank and we were told by Dr Jeanie that they were called the Orang Sungais, the indigenous population in Kinabatangan.

Upon reaching the lodge, we were greeted by Winston Marshall(the guy with the cokebottles fixed onto his eyeballs)Hehezzz.. and we were informed that everyone of us must wear sarong for dinner everyday ( thank god I had some experience of that from Ronggeng Merdeka). Checked into our rooms in the Bilit Wing( where the boys stay) while the Abai WIng was for the girls. The lodge is very nicely decorated, surprisingly, as I did not expect a lodge that far in the jungle where there are no roads leading to it and the only way to get there is by boat to have such richly decorated yet simple designs. The lodge was built based on the concept- the lodge and it's inhabitants are merely part of the forest and unlike the other lodges that we can see elsewhere, we, humans are the "dictators" and "colonizers" of the forest" My room mates were Julian and Alan and they're really nice people. Ok, so now I see that we have our own private toilet for each room and we even have housekeeping everyday, hence, we need not shit n urinate in foxholes as said by my mother.......

Part 2 to be continued

The 100th POST....

2008-04-08T02:56:00.000-07:00

This is my 100th Post! Bravo! (*applause)This deserves at least my own applause. I was considering to have a ceremony or procession of some sort in Penang at least to celebrate this moment

I have been quite busy lately with the upcoming Kuiz Sejarah which is TOMORROW and the BM Forum Competition which has just been over. So, just a quick update on the BM Forum Competition. Our topic was Handphones....I was supposed to play the role of a president of the Science Society of My School. So, on that day, we reached SMK AIr Itam, and our BEST BEST BEST team Manager ENtao Leow Pei Iu voluntarily did our hair and he siomply brought everything we needed. thanks Pei Iu! We were so paranoid or rather ME , we didnt dare to even take a sip of the drink they provided us with before the competition. In my defense, it looked really like "rusted" water. Anyway we were divided into 2 groups Group A and Group B .Each group composed of around 6 schools. We were in Group A. We were quite nervous at first but the nervousness kinda vaporized after seeing SMK Air Itam in action. Hold IT! I dont mean to say they were bad inf act they were GOOD! Its just that Daniel keeps telling me the pengerusi's voice was faked but he was good other than the fact of his "fake""girlish" voice.
In fact, CHung Ling has always been the last school in terms of marks in this competition thingy. But surprisingly, CLS and our school got thru to the district finals and it was on that day itself. Half an hour more to prepare.
As usual, being me, I spilled the rice and curry on my lap and a bit on the tie...Then I went to the toilet, just int time to see a boy as shocked as I was, with an aerosol can in his hand. He chatted with me while I was peeing asking me about my school and all then disappeared.....
Daniel was mesmerized by the beauty of two of the CLS girls......and even tried somewhat desperately to catch their attention by waving. Well, nevertheless, we got to shake their hands.. Hahaha LOL.

Here's how it went :

+ a bonus - Our "classlife"
Enjoy.. though there was supposed to be an Oscar Award winning video depicting the friendly fight between two classmates................

Politically Neutral as of today

2008-03-19T19:12:00.000-07:00

Well, now , we have "change " in Penang but for the better of for the worse. Only time can prevail. Let us all hope that the newly elected state government of Penang can fulfill their promises to the rakyat and prove that they are of the right sorts to be elected during the next election which is when I can cast my first ever vote. It is also beneficial for us, the young generation to attend all these ceramah both by the government and the opposition even though we may still not be "matured" enough to get involved with politics.

We are the ones who will judge the politicians who are elected to their respective posts this election whether they have fulfilled their obligations they have promised the rakyat during this election or are they just another bunch of power hungry folks. The rakyat has given you the chance to rule and let us hope you will not let us down as every politician should always remember that the citizens will always be the master and not them as the rakyat are the ones who placed them up there. Never forget that.

More drama and ...BULLSHIT

2008-03-13T06:43:00.000-07:00

It is funny how our politicians have a way of making a fool out of themselves, how they turn themselves into clowns and how they turn a deaf ear to the audience's response. It's even worse when the clowns who are supposed to "entertain" the audience start to INSULT the audience. They tend to overlook the fact that they were there where they are with the help of those little notes and support handed out so generously by the audience at the ticket counter years ago. Now, they are spitting mud onto their faces as they agree to demand for a new and a better "clown".

Experiment PRC 12.1
Aim : To investigate the maturity of some "prominent" Malaysian politicians

Variables:
Manipulated variable : Different clowns
Responding variable : Maturity and hopefully confirmation whether all boys actually undergo puberty after the age of 50.
Fixed variable : Clowns from the same "department" of the circus

Observation:
A wise veteran in politics once( 11 th and 12th March 2008) said :
1) Malays who vote for DAP are not patriotic
Original quote:(mereka tidak lagi bersemangat kebangsaan. mereka tidak bersifat patriotik lagi.)

2) DAP's arrogance will bring our downfall.

3) Lim Kit Siang biadap terhadap raja. His arrogance has been revealed so clearly to all of us. ( Dia(Kit siang) macam membuka pekung di dada )

Another clown from penang :
" Rakyat Pulau Pinang sudah tidak mahu KEMAJUAN! MEreka menunjukkan bahawa mereka tidak mahu lagi kemajuan di Pulau Pinang kerana mereka mengundi untuk oposisi. TARIK BALIK MEGA MEGA PrOJEK di PULAU PINANG."
Translation : The Penangites no longer want development in penang. They dont want mega projects in penang as they have clearly shown what they want by voting for the opposition. Pull back or rather stop all the mega projects in Penang!

Procedure:
1) Observe for yourself. No further explanation needed I suppose.

Conclusion : The maturity of Malaysian politicians (not all though) has been clearly proven to be a lot below the average level. The hypothesis is accepted. However the age of puberty of this experimental samples are still unable to be determined.

An unprecedented sharp turn in Malaysian History

2008-03-12T04:56:00.000-07:00

The Clash of the "titans" ? or David vs Goliath?
The polling results revealed on March 8th 2008 that the coalition of opposition parties in Malaysia comprising of PAS, Keadilan and DAP has succeeded in seizing control of 5 states of the total of 13 states in Malaysia. this has never happened before.
Good news:
Samy Vellu's "legacy" has FINALLY ended.

Nevertheless, the focus of political analysts were Penang. How did Gerakan lose every single seat they contested in Penang ? What was the cause or rather the causes?
Tan Sri Dr Koh lost by a staggering 10,000 votes to a newbie in Batu Kawan- How come?
It is clear then that the people no longer have faith in the government's competence and it is so obvious that a lot of non-Malays are infuriated with the keris unsheathing ceremony. Not only that, what suprised most of us was the fact that there is also a swing of Malay votes for PKR and PAS rather than for BN. Why is that so? And yet there are leaders in BN who place the blame on (quote)" other parties in BN ". Haven't these deaf people received the people's message? And please do not blame the downfall of BN on the incompetence of the government in handling our economy. The problem is not with economy but the filth in the mouths of many.
As I am updating my blog, I still hear people bullshitting on the TV3 Buletin Utama News. Quote: " Melayu yang undi untuk DAP tak bersemangat kebangsaan dan tidak patriotik". Apa ini? Malays too have the right of voting who they see as competent and the party that they believe can bring the nation forward. What are all these ?

I was at Youth Park working as a volunteer for 2008's Relay for Life. Even then, I had to return home although the relay was supposed to continue till tomorrow morning. Once the news of the fall of Penang to DAP was received, and due to the fear of another occurence of any " unrest" I had to call it a day. Its good to see RELA and police units on stand by at Youth Park, just in case....

Relay for Life 2008
It rained- not a good omen for BN. The sky turned red. A rocket zipped across the sky. Weird day? Nevertheless, the fight against cancer goes on, regardless of what the day may put upon us. We support the fight till the end although I supported the cause with RM 15 bucks and I was in charge of logistics. I arranged the chairs with all my heart and love and then I helped clean the tables. What a "feat"!!!! LOL!

CNY CHarity Dinner

2008-02-23T02:58:00.000-08:00

I wanted to post all the really touching photos and videos of the Chinese New Year Charity Dinner held at the Residents Association premises last Saturday night. A lot of orphans, senior citizens and handicap community such as The Salvation Army, Cheshire Home, Rumah Seri Cahaya, Jubilee Home for the old and a few more I couldnt remeber..
There were around 250 people who attended this event and I was one of the volunteer helping out my mum, aunty yeoh and aunty wendy who were the organizers for the event.

I was supposed to be the emcee for the night but in the end I just helped my mum who became the emcee as she was really frustrated with my dress code. I wore a suit of white Indian traditional costume of which the name I forgotten but I was wearing slippers. My mu felt that it would be a disrespect to the audience if i became the emcee. I learnt my lesson.

Anyway, it was really satisfying to see the happiness on their faces, the senior citizens, the orphans and the less fortunate ones.... it was a joy that one could not describe.....

Unfortunately, all of the photos that were taken were mistakenly deleted by me. Yes by my damned smart-alec hands. Damn! All the amazing video depicting the event and the supportive senior citizens and handicapped community were lost in a flick of an eye. I had the false impression that the photos were already uploaded by Sherooney and decided to "tidy up" ...............ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! All the photos and videos gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hence, I would like to apologize to all of you especially aunt yeoh, aunt wendy and my mum for my mistake.......

Chung Ling English Language Society Treasure Hunt

Today was longawaited or maybe not, day for all ELS members of our school as this was the first time ELS is organizing an out-of-the-classroom activity. ANd i am one of the "organizers" and I was the most important treasure as I was the final clue- the key to the treasure box..........which was a box of chocolates, courtesy of Mr Vice President Daniel.............WHen u find a clue, the next clue will be given to you and an alphabet. WHen you complete all the tasks, you have to rearrange the letters and the final letter will be Planning which stands for planning exco which is me....

Storm in a box ENDS,,,,,,,,,

2008-02-01T22:54:00.000-08:00

It has ended. 2 months of intensive training and all has just ended last week. The venue chosen couldnt be better...it was perfect- by the seaside, in the middle of the field, far away from the signs of the bustling development of Penang, except for the skyline but even with a touch of development in it, it was so beautiful in the dark and starry night sky.
First performance on Thursday 24th January 2008 - we had the most oomph in us, i'd say it was the best performance among the others. This show was for the USM students and it's actually a full rehearsel. The crowd was very encouraging and supportive.

2nd night Friday 25th January - A very STORMY performance, the true "STORM IN A BOX". Strong winds and sudden flashes of light in the sky scared us all but not to worry, Janet the "bomoh" speaks to the skies and the wind... It was halfway through the 2nd part of the performance after ours, we were sitting on the field in the dark, awaiting the finale where we walk out and pose like models..and Janet with her white luminous hair could be clearly seen even in the dark, walking to the far end of the field and looked at the skies in a peculiar manner, like a captain of a ship...then, she walked over to the far end of the field near the sea where there were shady trees and a large broken slab of wall there(it was real dark and eerie). ANd she stood there facing the trees and skies speaking to them for quite a moment.

Amazingly, the storm did calm down a little and it only rained heavily when we left after the performance...

3rd Night The last night, both happy and sad. I was happy that this "ordeal" and tight schedule has ended but I also refrained from believing that this was the lastr day after all these training.
But tonight, was the most important night as the KL Critics would be coming( magazine editors and specialists in this field)and they didnt really give good comments on our last performance last year I think...
Everything went well(gosh we were nervous)and there was a small party held after the performance by the sea. But before that, everyone posed and posed and went camwhoring.....as usual for us peeps................

the trademark pose .........................................................................................................again

Thaipusam

2008-01-27T06:35:00.000-08:00

Yes, I know Thaipusam is long over and I am, here, writing about it.
Thaipusam, a yearly affair for me and my family. last year, we went to the Waterfall Temple at 5am but this year we arrived long after the sun was up.

Thaipusam is widely celebrated by the Hindus and also the Chinese in Malaysia. Here, you can truly see a fusion of culture between the different races in Malaysia. Something I dare bet you dont find it anywhere else on the face of the earth.
Here, I will briefly describe to you the "process" undertaken by a devotee:
#1 Get a coconut
#2 You do this: Smash the coconut as hard as you can with hope that it breaks.
WHy? It is an act that symbolizes how determined you are to achieve whatever you prayed for.
#3 Get to the main altar to offer your prayers to the GODS.

Update for last week till today

2008-01-26T07:59:00.000-08:00

tHIS POST will give a conclusive update on this saturday and the last saturday where i had two competitions _ Robotics and Maths Quiz

Today 26th January 2008

Morning:

slept at 12.30pm after coming home from the second night of performance for STORM IN A BOX.

woke up at 4 am and went to my aunt's house for some F5 AddMaths guidance for the upcoming Mathematics Quiz at 8am today, that's four hours from now.

Had roti tisu (an Indian delicacy) for breakfast with my aunt at the nearby coffeeshop at 7.30am

8am Met up with my team mates for the registration for the Maths Quiz. I was the last to arrive, as usual, noticing the fact that I begin to like big entrances......

9am entered the exam hall. didnt expect so many schools and students to come.

9.15am played around with my camera while waiting patiently for the question papers to land in front of me.

9.30am after listening intently to the vice dean of the Mathematics Faculty of USM, the question papers were handed out to us. 1st question till 15th question, I could, at least complete it and obtain the answers but the task of answering the remaining 35 questions were like trying to locate a packet of rojak in the Himalayas...... Insufficient time- played the guessing game..

11.30 left the exam hall together with the other students smiling like a fool who underestimated the toughness of the questions... i wasnt alone!........Had lunch.... Happy USM kept to their promise as stated in the papers - no more styrofoam boxes for rice. replaced by cardboard boxes although they are much expensive but I am still proud of USM for having the iniative to do this. Hopefully, other universities,colleges,schools and even the Malaysian society can adapt to this measure to save the world.

12.30 announcement of results. Told myself: No hope. Made a promise to my teammates: if we were shortlisted into the 5 best school teams, I would place both of my pure feet into a toilet bowl.

12.45: went numb- got shortlisted. scored 1 point out of the 20 questions. Jit Sin, the defending champions succeeded in securing their position by getting 4 or more questions correct.

1.15: Chung Ling Butterworth gets 2nd runner up. So, for 1st runner up, it was only Chung Ling or Convent Green Lane. CL vs CGL...............tense...tense.... if we lost to them, we may be in the 4th placing, that is short of one further step to obtain a hamper and the prize.. if that happens, we would have to "am tehhhh"(hokkien word)

1.16 Chung Ling High School ! overjoyed. oversatisfied. shocked. grateful to Mr Chua and Chiew Kok!!!

INTI RObocon challenge on 19th of January 2008

stayed back everday till 4.30pm to work out our robot. the robot's main task was to follow the track using light sensors and pick up a can and finally complete the track and drop the can into a specified zone.

1pm Arrival.

1.3pm Speech by the HM for INTI

2pm reconstruction of robot on the spot starts

realized that we were misinformed about the rules and regulations- paniced- applied self-improvisedmethods into the robot.

realized the organizers didnt do a good job preparing the track which was all bumpy and dirty drawn tracks. ( affects the sensitivity of robot)

4pm Race

we were forced to hand the robot in b4 we even had the time to do final adjustments and update the final computer program into our friend's brain. TOugh luck!!!

robot failed to function as planned. disastrous....

5pm announcement of results. we lost. but at least 3 out of our 11 teams entered the circle of the final 4 titans...

7pm- dashed to Alpha Utara Art Gallery for the launch of our photo exhibition regarding the last 24 hours of 2007. 8 of my photos were on display(2 on the wall) Hehezzzzzzz.

11pm-went home and fell straight onto my bed.

2007-12-27T06:40:00.000-08:00

about the younhg guides training again, today, we followed Michael Cheah who is a reknown Baba of Penang and one of the few who REALLY knows, appreciates and is proud of his own culture. I must congratulate him and thank him for conducting such an interesting and very informative walk around the Peranakan Mansion.

Along this walk, a friendly German lady started a conversation with one of my friends which I later joined in. I got to know that she was extremely disappointed at us, Malaysians. The reason why? Because we dont even appreciate our own heritage and our culture. She had a friend in KL and she didnt even know a single bit about Malaysian heritage while the German lady knew more than she did. What she was trying to point out was we, havingthe chance of being exposed and bathed in this rich culture and enviroment filled with our own heritage where one can hardly find anywhere else in the world, dont even appreciate the fact. We seem to be ignorant of the heritage including the living culture, the traditional trades and somehistorical buildings that are supposed to be our treasure, identity and responsibility.

Sadly, the state government would seemingly, rather spend millions of ringgit on those obsolete, meaningless "monuments" or piles of scrap metal which are usually obscene and depict the male genitals. Just take a look at Pitt Street, the bumpy roads and the objects lining the pathway- a useless cement ball joined to another "pole" (which really really looks like a penis complete with the foreskin) by a curved metal( seminal vesicles i suppose) and eventually the pole connects to another ball. So, its shape can be roughly seen as " 0I0 ". Ok, if they didnt really mean to line the streets of Pitt St with testicles and penises and lets say I am looking at it at a wrong perceptive, suppose to say it is based on a "pervertic" mind, what about the Pinang monument at the end of Beach Street, and lets not forget the Hibiscus. The public has criticized this "obsession for male genital like monuments which equals to a sheer waste of money and no historical value" through the mass media but unfortunately they are building more of these. This year 2007, in december, I think, they are building yet another monument at Gurney Drive. Come on lah, they are surely better ways to increase expenditure of the country and at the same time increase somebody's "side income".

Why dont they build monuments depicting the leaders of Malaysia, for instance, Tunku Abdul Rahman or maybe the statues of Francis Light or something that has VALUE....

PS:I shall update more on these tomorrow when I am better armed with memory in the camera for more photos and stories to tell.......

2007-12-21T06:48:00.000-08:00

Today, I reread the exclusive report post i wrote about the rakan warisan project and some personal disagreements. I find that the way I expressed my feelings was quite judgemental and was written out of a little dissatisfaction and maybe a little anger EXCEPT for the fact about Janet.

It may seem that I may be trying to ummm "condemn" or express my dissatisfaction with people but my real intention was to like point out a few things or types of character that I dislike but not the person as I realize that noone is indeed perfect. I am quite in the wrong for pinpointing it on only a few particular people only but I should've used a more general term. That I was wrong. But as time passes by, one realizes that that person may not be as bad as it seems.

~My #1 weakness I realized today.
~ Lesson learnt: Dont judge a person too quickly.

From today on, I will be writing a weakness of myself that I get to realize on every posts so as to remind me to change.

Exclusivce Report

2007-12-19T17:48:00.000-08:00

Recently, i enrolled myself into a program "Rakan Warisan" although it was supposed to be for those between 17 to 30. So, Liyana and I were like the juniors there. Janet, Sheau Fung and Yoke Pin instructed us on a few important tips to manage a project plus some heritage guiding skills.
But since I was still "BLUR BLUR" although I dont know why I am labelled as "Blur blur" , maybe its because of Janet. Because when she asks you a question, the way her eyes stares at you, scares one out of his balls. Because her stare kind of tells you( well maybe not u but me, yes) if you dont get this answer correct, I am going to eat you up. I just said maybe, ok so dont get me wrong. Hehezzzz

I must say that this camp is really an eye-opener for most of us who haven't had the chance of being involved in the management of a project. We were also required to design a theme walk where I had to join another group which was the twins' group. The twins were nice & friendly people although they wore the same outfit everyday except for once after Janet insisted they didnt do so. We were initially doing the British settlements Walk which included the churches and the last stop of the walk would be, according to them, a secret weapon against the other groups. Since they decided to change the walk to the Chinese Beliefs Walk, I guess I am free to tell you that the "weapon" they proposed was the CHocolate Boutique. Well, initially, I protested too.

Then, the "heated discussion" kind of started within the group. I dont know why but maybe I was indeed that stupid and 99% of my ideas was really BAD, every thing I wanted to add into the group's collection of information was cut off & sort of fired at. But the irony was even if I made a single tiny comment maybe a change of choice of a few words, my group members turned really defensive and insisted that every one of my suggestion and correction was indeeed INCORRECT and IRRELEVANT and most of all, they asked me to " PLS THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK" twice whenever I gave any opinions! Ok fine, when there is conflict interest involved I can still "tahan", but when there is disrespect, sarcasm involved, I really couldnt take it anymore.

As a team, one should be cooperative and be opened to another team members' idea and most of all respect the other team member. And most of all, you dont simply shut the other person up by asking him to THINK BEFORE HE SPEAKS eSPECIALLY when that person isn't joking and is damn serious about the project even there is conflict of ideas. Other than that, a team discusses among everyone of the members and not isolate the other member from your discussion whether the guy is or isn't ur brother. A good team member doesnt simply turn his back on you and discusses only with his brother or sister, in a low voice. And most of all when a team member answers or gives his reply to a question, you dont simply ignore the one answering when the other one does not have the answer yet and keep on waiting for the other guy's answer although he maybe ur brother but u dont ignore completely the "other guy" who gives you the correct answer. EVen if it is not a correct answer, how can you ignore him and dont even acknowledge you. I understand I have no working experience but how can you say that you have the experience when you have this so non-working class behaviour. In an office, u'd get fired because you dont respect others, you dont accept everything others say and only believe in your ideas that they are always 100% correct. No cooperation.
Pls note that I am not trying to have any personal vendettas against anyone here but I would just like to point out a few of human's weaknesses. Yes, i understand I myself have weaknesses and I would be glad if you point that out to me. But I gotta write this out as I have met SO MANY people of these kind since Primary school up to NOW. I am sure you have met some of them too in ur life.

Ok, our first stop in our walk is the Joss Stick maker as it is part of the CHinese Beliefs Walk as joss sticks is a very very crucial part in CHinese praying rituals.
Let me ask you, is the materials such as the sandalwood used to make the joss sticks an important thing to inform the tourists on the walk? Why they use Indian sandalwood compared to Australian one? Is it relevant or TOTALLY irrelevant? I insisted that it should be included but others say its irrelevant and asked me to think before i speak.

Starwalk

2007-12-16T01:54:00.000-08:00

Hi i am BACk! Hehezz...

This morning I woke up as "early" as 5am and went for the Starwalk in Penang. In case you really dont know what "STarwalk" is, its not the Bintang Walk in KL. It's a sort of a marathon where you walk not run. This year's my first time joining Starwalk. And now, I feel like I have 10 tonnes of weight pulling down at my feet.

It's really good to see that these kind of activites are not only organized by the government but also the private sectors. These activities is definitely a must-go for everyone and serves as a great way to enhance ties between different races and also family bonds.

But the sad thing is that, some people and I mean a lot of them don't seem to understand the rules at all. Due to my participation in the competitive event and not the syoksyok leisure event where participants can walk at their own pace, the competitive event demands strict "abiding" of the rules that is no one can run since this is Starwalk and not StarRun. It's sad to see that a lot of adults and teens just can't get it. Haizzzzz........

Anyway, we didnt win anything for the lucky draw but u-jean went for a digi gilagila dance compeition and of course, she was the most outstanding dancer. SO, she got to walk away with a brand new Nokia handphone, courtesy of Digi.

But anyway, at least I managed to get the 22nd place for the Boys Category. Yeah I know nothing to be proud of but at least I get to go back with satisfaction and a piece of pewter.

SOrry dear readers as I have been quite busy lately and have not updated my blog for quite some time. I will be going to kl today to relax and unwind hehez.

Fellow Indian friends, I do not mean to offend you but I personally feel that the recent Hindraf outburst is a shame to our country. As you already know, recently, three lawyers sent a letter to the Queen of England demanding a compensation of trillions of ringgit which equals to approximately RM1 mil for every Indian in Malaysia is definitely an embarassment to our country. Although it never made it to the Queen but this incident has become a laughing stock for other countries.

Making a big HUHA out of these things is simply not the solution to the problem if there is a problem. As far as I can see, there is simply no problem at all.

#2 Blind accusations of Malaysia performing ethnic cleansing is a further step towards lunacy. They are really over the line now.

Economics Explained. (really funny)

2007-11-24T17:30:00.000-08:00

This is really really FUNNY !
Economics 101: Models explained - with Cows

SOCIALISM: You have 2 cows, so you give one to your neighbour.

COMMUNISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and gives you some milk.

FASCISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and sells you some milk.

NAZISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and shoots you.

TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.

ENRON VENTURE CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. Sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States, leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the release. The public buys your bull.

A FRENCH CORPORATION: You have two cows. You go on strike, organise a riot, and block the roads, because you want three cows.

A JAPANESE CORPORATION: You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create a clever cow cartoon image called 'Cowkimon' and market it worldwide.

A GERMAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.

AN ITALIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. You decide to have lunch.

A RUSSIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 2 cows. You stop counting cows because you're sobering up and open another bottle of vodka.

A SWISS CORPORATION: You have 5,000 cows. None of them belong to you. You charge the owners for storing them.

A CHINA CORPORATION: You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim that you have full employment, and high bovine productivity, and arrest the newsman who reported the real situation.

AN INDIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You worship them

A BRITISH CORPORATION: You have two cows. Both are mad.

IRAQI CORPORATION: Everyone thinks you have lots of cows. You tell them that you have none. No-one believes you, so they bomb you and invade your country. You still have no cows, but at least now you are part of a Democracy....

IRISH CORPORATION: You have two cows...or is it three? What matters? Aren't you well off to have even one

AAK Arts Camp

2007-11-23T05:59:00.000-08:00

I havent been free till now as I was involved inan arts camp. I came to know abt this arts camp when michelle n sheau fung contacted me. I was originally supposed to be the artist's assistant for the toymaking workshop but in the end due to insufficient participation in the TOY making workshop, I had the chance to participate. I joined Music AGAIN. but yokepin didnt want me in music since I was always in Music since last year. I joined Toy making with Aaron in the end.

The Toy making workshop was really helluva fun for us. Sylvester our facilitator was a 100x magnification of me, the gila type. So it made the camp even better. David Yeo was our artist. I have to give credit to David for he can build toys from simply anything you can find in your bedroom now. There's the "slinger", blow pipes, "shoot the chicken".......The most important thing was that wevery toy we learnt had scientific principles behind them and after each toy we had to complete some sort of PEKA.

From these principles we have learnt, we were divided ioto 4 groups to invent and build our own toy. Ours was on airflow. Initially we planned to build a plane then a bus then finally we named our hovercraft the AIRBUS. It served as a good proposal to Rapid Penang Ferry Services though! Hehezzz

The other workshops were like GRAFFITI, MUSIC< DANCE< BICYLCEFLOAT. The camp KILLED the boredom in me!

Snatched

2007-11-16T21:32:00.001-08:00

I just came back from the police headquarters after filing a report on a snatch theft.
DAMN THOSE WORHTLESS LOW LYING A**HOLES! sry mind my words

It was 9.30 in the morning and it was in broad daylight it happened. My mum was holding her purse close to her waist and she was about to end a phone conversation. Mind you, she wasnt directly exposed to the traffic as she was standing in front of the car and close to the pavement next to a house in LIP SIN.

and then it happened. In a split second, i see my mum on the floor shouting. My mum tried to get to her purse which slipped out of the creature's hands but he was faster and he got the purse and hopped back onto the devil's motorbike.

Initially, I thought it was a mere accident and I followed my instincts which told me to chase after that useless thief. I chased as fast as i could but it was of no use, definitely a motorcycle was definitely faster. Then I saw, at the end of the road, a Proton Saga reversed out of a house and it kind of blocked the exit route of the moron although the driver of the car didnt know I was chasing after the morons. I shouted as hard and as clearly as I could asking the driver and the bystanders infront were just standing over there doing nothing although I kept pointing at the motorcycle, shouting my lungs out.

Then, they swept past the vehicle and past the bystanders which could've easily stopped them and a moment later they were gone.

Drug addicts i sppose. Boy , I'm sure they memalukan mempersiasuikan parents mereka. Damn those ppl!

I noticed that this year, time passes exceptionally fast. It's like suddenly we're in April and the next minute it's already in September. It's so damn fast.

Dont worry, for this can be explained using a few theories.
This year in 2007, due to the rapid rate of global warming, the earth is spinning faster on its own axis.
To explain the above statement, the Kinetic Theory of Matter is used:
The rise in temperature of the earth makes the earth particles move faster and this causes a spinning motion. Hence, the earth rotates faster.
Even the clocks are affected by this phenomena.

Hence time seems to fly.
Work of Professor BS

Note :All of the above are bullshit.

I m BACK!

FInally its over. Escaped from every students' nightmare. Exams Haizzz well thats life.

School life has been increasingly fun after the exams. When you get to shoot paper bullets with rubber bands like 6year old kids along the school corridors, when you set up blockades in your classroom and separate classrooms into East and West Germany, you have fun! Thats excluding interclass paperbullet war. Our classroom was turned into a warzone and a trench war commenced just like in World War 1.

Not to mention, hitting teacher's tables to provide a base for our "so called 4SA4 Underground" band composing of sounds produced by clapping,producing metal "clinks" sounds, using the dustpan and not to mention banging on the metal doors.

I'll be updating my blog more frequently after this blog. Bye

2007-10-13T02:05:00.000-07:00

I've seen this played in the Berita Utama on TV3 and i find it to be rather "amusing"....ENJOY!

WOrld Unity

2007-10-11T03:09:00.000-07:00

I havent updated my blog for quite some time due to the upcoming exams. Sometimes I wonder why must my school be different from other schools. Exams after the Raya holidays. Spending your holiday studying cant get any better? Darn! THey are feeding us too much information. So much that one cant absorb.

Anyway I have been discussing about world issues with one of my friends in school ChooB and we found out that we have opposing views on WOrld Unity. The motion was:

Can World Unity ever be achieved?

I have a more innocent view of the earth. I have a vision that some day world unity can be achieved. Some day skin colour will not be a question. SOme day when wars can be stopped forever and no more fightings will ever occur. Some day when terrorists will put their weapons down and suicide bombers will be a thing of the past. Can that day ever be achieved? YOU DECIDE.
SO what do YOU think? Catch the poll on the left side of the blog. :)

Counter Reformation

2007-09-26T07:33:00.000-07:00

During PE lesson, due to the extreme boredom, an idea came to me and I started a game named Counter Reformation which is partially based on historical facts from the Dark Ages era where the Church was corrupted and so on.

Here's how it goes :

The Counter Reformation team's main objective is to bring down the reformation team led by Martin Luther. Hence, in other words, they may support the selling of indulgence letters carried out by church officials.

Counter Reformation :

Pass the indulgence letter to the designated person without getting "killed" by the reformation team.

Reformation:

Eliminate all opposing forces or obtain the indulgence letter

How do we "kill"?

A pathetic method. Rubber bands and paper bullets or you could go "stab" a person with an imaginary knife. ChILDISH HUH? its fun!

The Lost Battle

2007-09-07T19:10:00.000-07:00

The F1in schools Challenge was on Mondayand Tuesday in Alor Star.
Venue: Dewan al-Farabi
My team : Aeroswift..... Nice name huh
Status: Fallen, Lost, Didnt get to go to KL in October to compete in the National Finals. Anyway at least we managed to grab the "Best Marketing and Sponsorship Award".
Results:
1st - (Kedah)Titanium Ace like last year's champions Mercurial Ace. Its just that titanium's stronger than Mercury.
2nd- (Penang) PFS- Speedfreaks.
3rd- GOlden Zr (Perak)
Best engineering award- Impusion
Best marketing award - US - aeroswift

Fastest car - Used to be drag zeal but it was then disqualified due to its weight which was too light. Now I forgot who's the winner.

It's mainly a program for Form 4s only and you'll have to look for sponsors to get at least RM2000 to print your brochures, banners and our custom made souvenirs-notebooks. No nono Rm2000 is not a lot. 4 nylon wheels to improve performance of the car costs like RM300-Rm500. Unbelievable? Believe it.

We stayed at the Grand Crystal Hotel which was just next to a shopping mall one fifth the size of Prangin. So u knowlah what we do. We came back to the hotel room and I started to indulge myself in violence playing Counter Strike on my teacher's laptop. Meanwhile the others maybe 10 people were crammed into our room to watch Evan Almighty in the room with the projector. Just like a cinema. Everyone slept.

That's all for now. My two weeks of Add maths homework is killing me! ARGHHH!

Ripped apart

Dangerous Moron

2007-08-21T06:44:00.000-07:00

WARNING!
Beware of motorcyclist with the number plate :
PDT 262
STAY AWAY FROM HIM! He is DANGEROUS and is a LIABILITY to Penangites. Shame on him.!

hERE'S WHAT HAPPENED:
I was in my uncle's car along Pg Road when this moron swerved near us and nearly banged into our car. What's worse, he was on the phone and he wasn't wearing a helmet. 2 offences. My uncle honked him. What suprised us was, he slowed down and stopped right in front of our car and block our way, letting the other cars wait behind us. He stepped down like a GANGSTER and demanded we wind down our window. He demanded to know why the heck were we honking him? And as usual a lot of words blurted out but my aunt took out her phone and tried calling the police.

Then, maybe he was afraid we were going to take a picture of him or call the police. So he walked with "style" which made him look as if he had big dangling balls and rode off.
Damn that guy ! If we were'nt aware of him at the side of the car, he would have crashed and been knocked down by a car behind. Maybe he deserved that! His skulls could've been crushed and his intestines blurting out if it werent us he met. Let's hope he meets another bigger fish than him next time!

1st Day of Holidays

2007-08-18T07:49:00.000-07:00

It's Saturday and everyone's happy on Saturdays. Now it's even better it's the holidays. Nevertheless, I had to be knocked out of my sleep at 5.30am to prepare myself for the Olympic Day Run which was organized by Mcdonalds and endorsed by the IOC(international olympics committee). Well our dear PJ teacher was going to give us marksfor our PJ for our participation in this.

There're marks involved right? So, every classmate of mine became very eager to join it- just for the marks. That's how it is nowadays. Marks, marks, marks. Even some consider the others who help teachers and who try to remain in the teachers' good books as "P.L.Ps" or simply the "po-fesionals". WHere has all the love and sincerity gone???

Anyway, the registration part at Youth Park wasnt that amusing. It was quite unorganized and late. Firstly, we did the warm ups with Ronald Macdonald, some aerobic professionals and even the GM and MD of Mcdonalds Malaysia, not to forget Dr Teng Hock Nam. Then the race begun.

At first, I was at front line of the starting line and managed to maintain there but my bladder was bothering me. So I had to make a detour to the loo. Anyway I finished the route which starts and ends at Youth Park(7km or so they say) in 40 minutes. Although it may not be any achievement but there's the self satisfaction. When I reached the finishing line and was queuing up to register my no. for those dont know within how many placing, there was this man who cut the queue to get himself a better placing. Now this is an example of uncivilized Pgites. Tak tahu malu! PEI!

We also got free Marigold products and Ribena. As for the lucky draw, 3 of my classmates got hampers and 6 tickets to Genting altogether. Hence we are planning a trip to Genting in the year end holidays.

Today is also a special day for my school as it is it's 90th birthday or anniversary. I was in charge of the Robotics Club's Exhibition so I had to rush from Youth Park back home then back to school for my duty.The crowd was not as much as expected but I guess there will be more tomorrow as tonight will be the gala dinner thing . The school is doing it in a big scale this year. They even invited famous Pg hawker food like the Pg Road Cendol and Char Koay Teow,laksa...... to my school to set up stalls for the 3000 plus plus visiting alumni.

Negarakuku

2007-08-17T01:55:00.000-07:00

I guess everyone already know about this Malaysian guy in Taiwan- the singer of the already famous "Negarakuku" in Youtube which as been stripped down recently. He apologized already but yet the government will not let him go so easily. They are saying HE MUST BE PUNISHED. Perhaps what they do may be right but if this guy were in the States I guess they won't penalize him and even stop him. FREEDOM OF SPEECH....
I donot know how the Malaysian government is going to arrest him by extraditing him? They'll jujst probably pounce on him once he arrives on Malaysian grounds.

Books Review

2007-08-14T08:24:00.000-07:00

I just finished reading Tuesdays with Morrie and "for one more day", both by mitch albom.

As with "Tuesdays with Morrie":
Must read book before you die! A touching true story that touched me deeply, inspired me and motivated me. I learnt quite a few things about death and now am enlightened that death should not be feared but embraced with grace. It also teaches us on true values we should adapt and not by blindly following the mostly materiallistic culture and lifestyle these days. Morrie Schwartz who died years ago has indeed served as a beacon for mankind to follow his noble footsteps- A TEACHER TO THE LAST...
I would really love to visit him if he's still alive and visit his grave in the future. I really think the MOE should make it a compulsory book for the ENglish subject.

Review on "For One More Day":
ALso quite a good book but i prefer Tuesdays with Morrie. Nevertheless it still remains one of the top books on my recommendation list. It mostly focuses on the power of mothers' love and forgiveness. I liked the plot but it did not focus on a lot of aspects on how to live as it was mainly dedicated to mothers around the world.
Synopsis: It's really about a ficitional character( i am not sure whether he was using the character to reflect on the author's own life) who tried to commit suicide but ends up spending another day with his dead mother, doing all he always wanted to do but didn't with his mother.

LIBERTY!!!!!!...................................for now..

2007-08-09T23:48:00.000-07:00

FREE! Exams are OVER!HEHE! But not for long. GOod times end fast! This time my results are like BLEK! Never mind that. WHat the heck! jUST A FEW STUPID MARKS! But nevertheless it is important to ensure that you get into the right class next year. Bye!

Just another day

2007-07-31T22:23:00.000-07:00

wELL WELL Here I am at school, updating my blog during EST lesson. Next week's exam so I wont be blogging till next friday after my exams. Rapid |Penang | has rolled into its second day free of charge service. Not trying to be pessimistic but this wont last for long. With Penangites, every good thing will never last. Those idiotic vandals will probably initiate the beginning of the end of it and the next thing you know, the drug addict cum thiefs will finish the job. So anyway, as a conclusion the government's holy efforts will be desecrated.

That is the freaking mentality of MOST Malaysians.

Unprecedented Twist of Fate

2007-07-28T20:03:00.000-07:00

Well sorry guys I havent been blogging lately due to my busy schedule. Yeap! THe YE QUeensbay Sales is over already. I was quite satisfied with the fact that I managed to sell to around 21 customers that day. Just a rough estimation. Although it may not seem much but at elast give me a small round of applause.

AFter the YE Sales and all those blitkrieg nonsense, I had to prepare myself for a school debate competition where our team had to against the fearsome SCHOOL DEBATE TEAM in the semi-finals

The motion was : Should schools implement the DEMERIT SYSTEM in schools in dealing with problematic students?

We were the opposing team
Halfway through, I panicked a little and my competitors tried to take hold of that opportunity to shake me off by trying to intercept me with bombardment of questions.
Luckily I got through that nasty episode. BUt compared to the other team, we looked kind of weak.

They were highly motivated, coherent and agressive.
WHen the announcement of the victorious team was made...........
we WERE SHOCKED,;truly PETRIFIED! They were TOO!

MERLIN's ASS!WE WON! HELL WE WON! Darn that was an honour, a mighty achievement for three newbies like us. The judges gave comments after that. We weren't entirely skilled but our advantage was our firm steady POINTS. We had to admit they were skilled. It's just that they fell into a trap we unconciously set for them. We went on to the finals but I offered to switch with another team mate of mine for that particular round. I was leaping with joy! IN the end, our team emerged victorious. Yet another ACHIEVEMENT. That I will have to express my gratitude towards a teammate of mine who used Paris Hilton as an example. This of course made the whole crowd in the hall roared with laughter and gave him their ful support.

I am the................Interrogator!

A tskhoo production,

Well yesterday I had dinner with my family at the newly opened Kapitans at Queensbay. This is my plate when all the food are already in my alimentary canal. And I bought this book at Borders.

Shown BELOW is a video of a very lively but loony boy

2007-07-10T06:01:00.000-07:00

Well today's well ok..... I syok syok borrowed a 800pg book by Henry KiSSINger -"Diplomacy" which I doubt I can finish and even to understand. Well I was just trying to get myself to read a non fiction book. anyway I have to hurry in order to finish my Moral Project by this FRIDAy!!!!! a MORAL PROJECT given by a Moral teacher who does not have moral at all when it comes to morality. How good can it get?

2007-07-09T02:39:00.000-07:00

Oh yeah..its another mundane Monday...I hate Mondays,its the start of the week- 5 more days to endure before weekend. No mood at all. But never mind, at least I know for sure that I didn't get to be one of the 20 finalists ofChung Ling Idol. Never mind then. I also got my school results today, I am quite happy with it and ada sikit improvements lah. :)

Anyway I got something to cheer myself up with. A kind of a not so dirty joke. here's how it goes: ( I have modified the names and stuff)

One day, there was a salesman, steven who sells condoms from house to house. So, he reaches a shop house which is famous for nanyang cuisines and approaches a woman with white hair who was smoking "Camels", Jinut(hehe) to try to sell his products. Suprisingly, Jinut is not clear with the use of the condom so Steven who is a typical Penangite salesman who has to reach his sales target in time to keep his job, tells her and asks her to place the condom on her cigarette to get a better fragance. She tries it on and as a matter of fact, it feels good. She bought a packet of the condom and thanks the salesman.

After a week, her stock runs out and she stops by a 7-11 shop to restock. She shows the shop vendor the empty packet and said:
" Do you have one that can fit on camels?"

2007-07-07T07:17:00.000-07:00

Saturday n Sunday.. Takda ROnggeng MErdeka. Certainly feel "lonely" bored sad... At least I managed to shove those feelings away by keeping myself occupied by reading books(just finished John Grisham's The Broker- Review:
QUite good but there werent so many action packed sequels as I had expected. Well what to expect John's a lawyer but its better in a different way )

Well I decided to participate in the CHung Ling Idol competition held today on tuesday. Its very typical of my school's students- need to pay RM2 by ourselves if we want to participate. Then when everyone knew that the class fund had to used to pay, as usuallah semua students rushed to join syok syok sje lah. ANyway not much to lose right? Just writing down own's name is surely fun isnt it. I was so busy this week that i didnt prepare myself. well there were a few times that were not that busy , still I couldnt care less. Up until the last minute, at 11oclock at the eleventh hour I started to panick( as usual......).

I wanted to sing Seven Lonely Days, the same song I was about to sing for the Digi Celebriteen Auditions at KDU on 15th of June. Well talking about that, I was arrived at the last minute AGAIN (6:59pm-the closing time was 7pm)and the person said SOrry its too late. Aiya! Advice from the wise: Dont do things at the last minute.

Well come back to today. SO in the end, I chose Blue Suede Shoes by dear king of Rock and Roll Elvis Presley because the lyrics was fast and short. SO even if I was going to make any mistakes, hopefully the judges won't notice. I arrived there and pleaded for the organizers to allow me to go in first as I was quite in a hurry to go over to Tunku Fauziah Museum,USm to complete our mural and there was an appointment with a The Star reporter,Pui Yu(izit right?).

Halfway through the song I forgot the LYRICS. STUPID ME FOR TAKING THINGS FOR GRANTED!!! Tak apa.. The judges who were the 6th formers for the elimination round said my voice was ok but they asked me to sing Chinese songs but I didnt listen to CHinese songs much. After quite some time of thinking, I chose the first song that popped into my mind- Tian Mi Mi or dayung sampan. I dont think I did well in this song, not a good vocalist am I. nvm then experience gained is the most important- consoling my self.

Our mural was finally into the final stage but I wasnt quite satisfied with the mural-it looks rather blank and 3year oldish. But we should not complain after all I wasnt the one sweating painting it. Thanks to Peik SHan then the future Artist.
We told Pui Yu a few versions of our story regarding the mural and the actual story. Well this was quite an eventful day wasnt it?

WALAU EH! Busy till my minds can blow

2007-07-06T06:48:00.000-07:00

As usual I as the team manager of the some kind of F1 in Schools competition, I led my group to do the LAST MINUTE job which is why I get scolded by my parents all the time. I wasnt quite responsible this week lately so "Sorry ok team members.." Other than that, had to prepare this report that letter that sketch that Concept page for YE,ENglish Language Society, F1 and..........aArgh!
Missing AAK so much. Our past performances keeps reflecting in my mind buat saya more... I dont know how to describe the feeling.

Once again, I hope that we can perform in conjuction with the 50th Anniversary of our independence on 30th night or on 31st.

And I have noticed the emergence of strange looking" monsters" in Penang which has been planted and created by the state government just like in Area 51. I will fully report on that 3days later as I have to go undercover to investigate this mysterious happenings.

2007-07-01T07:09:00.000-07:00

This was my original speech for the Parents workshop & the Little Pg performance but I decided to cut it out after being told by Dr.Tan to cut it short and to say it seriously. Here's how I wanted it to go: "

Good morning fellow parents and fellow friends. Bless you all! Bless us all! Feel the love surrounding us shall we? First of all let us all enlighten you with a few drops of our performance. Loving parents, without all of you without the egg and the sperm we wouldnt be here, playing the gamelan or wayang kulit instruments in the first place. How the male and female gametes fused to form us. So what we present here will represent half of our fathers and half of our mothers' chromosomes.

Well throughout this program we collected sounds, observed different kinds of movements of people such as hawkers and so on. We interpreted it into dances and musics using different types of instruments. We also interviewed a few senior citizens to get first hand and real time info on the Japanese Occupation era where the Japanese slaughtered Malayans like lamb chops. So sad isnt it?

Well I hope you will enjoy this performance with all your heart, your soul and your mind. Embrace it like the day we first tasted Smarties, feel it like how we feel when we feel the radioactivity of the sun....

Once again, I hope you will enjoy our holy performance that is....

So lovely that the darling roses shall bloom in winter,
So unique that even Janet's hair will turn black and her jaw will drop,
So lively that even the mosquitoes in CLS will dance with our music,
So true that your faces will turn blue as glue.

In short, thank you for coming! "

Those were the days....haizzz

Happiest Moments Come and Go.

2007-06-30T09:05:00.000-07:00

Well today's the long awaited moment of happiness- its the Sarong and Tikar Party!!!! Wohooooooo! I promised u-jean to go help out earlier at first at 4.30pm but tak boleh have to stay back at school until 3.15pm. Geram dgn sekolah. Sat pun ada!
Well actually I havent chosen my costume for tonight's party and I came home and as usual PANICKLAH simply grab my father's sarong which once belong to my grandfather, put on a singlet and originally i wanted to wear a newspaper sarong but i didnt in the end.

At first, I was supposed to be in charge of decorations and traffic control. (That car park over there, this one orang besar sini.HEHE). But selven ajak me to go well wave some flags to guide those who didnt know where SERI is. I decided to buat pandai buka sarong up and down and swing it all around while selven was waving his flag on the pavement opposite One STop Mall. Eventually, motorists along Pulau Tikus stared at us. Anyway they were all thinking we were idiots. Well me being PART of the cause of that humiliation, I would like to apologize partially to Mr Selvenraz or rather STevenish selven. The party was SUPERB! THats just too bad for Suha , Srynn and others who couldnt come. Well, our impromptu performance went quite well with Selven's skillful impersonation of noneother than the "Awan Putih". The games and especially the Janet impersonation game was GREAT especially when you see the look on Janet's face when she sees her own self.

HAPPY 7th (i think)BIRTHDAY of ANak-anak Kota!!! Long live AAK! Thank you JANET, Dr Tan, YOKE PIN,SHAHRIE,SHEAU FUNG..............
