This is the LAST day of school. Definitely not the last for learning tho'. We're using 3 Yakin's classroom for SPM. We also got our forecasts results but the other testimonials will have to be obtained after SPM!! Even our school magazine have to be obtained only with our true results. wat la! #$%^$%^$@!!! Took some pics before leaving.... Reminds me of last year's today. Last year's today I was in school for my BM oral exam. Last year's today, I reached school at 8:30am. My mom fetched me into school and I was walking WITHOUT aid, proudly, to the canteen where I sat for the rest of the time. Elena went searching for the teacher when Tremayne came sitting beside me glomping down his nasi lemak. Nyam...nyam...nyam... Then Alicia handed me my Macbeth book and a few minutes later, Bing Chien passed by n told me about his interest in Macbeth. Next, teacher came, I took my exam, got my school mag, and went home. And SPM IS NEXT WEEK!!!!!!! Starting with Maths.... Today's also the last day for Dr. Mahathir(now Tun Dr. Mahathir) as Malaysia's Prime Minister. I watched the ceremony on TV just now, a live telecast from Istana Negara. Reminds me of "The Champion Bullfighter" by Othman Kelantan, depicting the similiarities in Politics and bullfighting. Ah well...

Shouldn't have eaten that dumpling yesterday. I woke up in the middle of last night and vomitted everything. I felt uneasy, got up, switched on the lights and went to the loo. But my parents were sleeping like pigs as if nothing was happening. Gosh...what if there was a robbery? Say, we hadn't been robbed since we had Snoopy. :-D And this morning, the blastid school opposite woke me up at 8AM!!! Damn...I could have slept longer. My back hurt like hell after vomitting. I think sri KL was having a graduation day or something for the STD 6 pupils. Ya noe...their PA System is twice louder than my school's. Worse still, the system in their hall is also a PA!!!! what da hell!! In my school, the prefect, with the softest voice ever, announces through the speaker, "Semua pelajar dikehendaki berkumpul di tapak perhimpunan sekarang juga". He only have to say it ONCE! and everyone will be down. But in this school right in front of my house, the TEACHERS announces with a darn loud voice, "All STD 6 pupils, please come to the hall now"....and not even one minute later..."STD 6 students, come down now"..."hurry up!" Argh!!!!!!!!!!! I hate living here! Look..look...just as I type this, a bus, must be Inti college's, HONKED!!! But the funniest part, was when one or more primary students sang KeranaMu Malaysia. I think they're Std6 who sounded like Std1. Haiyoh....Ms. Susanna's children choir are much younger and can sing MUCH BETTER!! At least, the melody is there and every word is pronounced clearly.

?? Which Of The Greek Gods Are You ??
brought to you by Quizilla Season = Autumn
You're Most Like The Season Autumn ... You're warm, and the most approachable. You have
that gentle prescence about you. People can
relate to you, and find you easy company.
However it's likely you've been hurt in the
past and it has left you scarred so things can
become rather chilly with you at times. Being
the third Season in, you're mature, trustworthy
and loyal to your friends but prone to
depression and negative thinking. Well done... You're the shy and sensitive season :)

?? Which Season Are You ??
brought to you by Quizilla I might want a career in the arts but...my poor eyesight! I can survive that tho'. Then today, I discover I've what you call, Medical Stigmatas on my mercury mount. A job in the health profession would be nice...but not the studying part. ZzzZzzZzz.... what should I do?

Paid a visit to my ex-tuition teachers. Went with my father. It was great seeing them. Mom sent me to them at 7 and I graduated at 12. From then on, I hardly see them around. But I still do see them around the corner. They recently bought a whole 3-storey shoplot but I really miss the old place. Was chatting with 'em for over 2 hours and it was kinda boring when they, and my father started talking about politics, the-good-ol-days, chinese mythology blablabla.... ya noe, my two teachers are Taiwanese. BTW, does anyone know where I can get a portrait of Confucious? Learnt from dad today that confucious, "kung2 fu4 zi3" was supposedly carrying a sword, or a blade....hmmm...

Last night was a cold one but was sleeping without my blanket. There were 20+ of us at the Hitz. FM gathering today. We had a game of bowling but I did not play. Ball no. 8 wasn't heavy but I was afraid of hurting my back. Too bad we didn't stay at the alley until 2pm when the state team trains. Had lunch at McDs before going to Kafe 7 to play POOOOL!!! Guess what...met Joel outside McDs. He was right before me and good angel whispered, "say hie! say hie!" "smile! smile!" but dark angel also said, "don't give anything away! stay cool!" so Joel just gave me that usual grin of his and walked through. It's a small world after all.... Bowling Alley- I didn't know I was wanted in the pic so I didn't pose. Group- This was taken before lunch. Boy, it sure is dark. I'm the clearest of 'em all.

HAPPY DEEEPAVALEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! Self Reminders: A) My favourite verse by Confucious. "Do not mind how much others understand ourselves, but how much we understand others". So I must learn to forgive nozzy people who takes me as a looser. One day, I'll prove it to 'em all that I CAN!!! B) Learn to forgive and forget, let bygones be bygones! damn it!! C) Think positive by Dr. Joseph Murphy's theory. I'm not nuts, ya noe. Just forgetful... 12:10am MY FACE IS MOVING!!!!! I'M SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!Though it's very little but its IMPROVING!!!!!!!I CAN SOON SMILE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! My brain tickles tho' when I do it.

Hurray! I can finally log on! I wasn't able to connect for the past week. I tried calling telekom but the voice msg says, "You may have difficulty connecting to the internet. Our technical assistants are looking into the matter" and when I got through my handphone, I lost RM10 just by browsing. I tawt it was 10-20cents per 10kb? $^%^&^!!! Oh...for my new handphone number, please e-mail me if you want it. :-) Lotsa great things happened last week. Elena and I got 2 free tickets each to watch Secondhanded Lion. It was a great show. Before that, I went to Sungai Wang alone in the afternoon. Shopping alone is kewl especially in a place you're unfamiliar with. You don't have to wait for your friends and you can go anywhere you like. I took the KTM to KL Central and then the monorail to Bukit Bintang. I also met Lee Lee on the way home. Had a good time chatting with her and managed to track down some lost friends. When I first got onto the KTM, I thought its quality has decreased, far uncomfortable than when it was first launched but the monorail was worse! Yes, it was fast but shaky as ever! On Sunday, the choir had a potluck party in Lien Chai's house. He's our new vice-president. Dear, I wished I didn't have to leave the choir. I really enjoy the times we spend together these two years especially performances organised by Ms. Susanna, our choir teacher. I hope we'll join some performances this holiday. I didn't make it last Christmas when they went for charoling in Genting. Some of my friends in the choir are thinking of joining the KL young singers and Opera Fest. Wish I have the stamina to do that. :-( Yesterday was my graduation. 400+ students were seated in the hall for 4-5 whole hours just to receive an empty file, they didn't prepare on time. The speeches were very long-winded until it came to Prof. Seow's turn. The vice-president of the PIBG. He's so witty the whole hall filled with laughter. But not as funny as when Aaron Lee, monitor of 5 Nekad screamed on stage. LOL! He read the wrong line and screamed briefly for his mistake. The MC even teased him when she called upon him to receive his cert. "Yang mendahului senarai ialah AAAH! Aaron Lee". Poor Tuck Yee tripped when he was going downstage. Jude wore sunglasses when he went up. There are also some jokers who made funny stances when their photo was taken. I think the best speech was made by Karen Siah cuz of the way she presented it. Everyone was touched, I cried a little when this guy named Eddren went up. The MC read him a poem while he was struggling his way up the steps with his clutches. His dad was there too even the headmistress and her assistants got up to help him and everyone in the hall stood up and clapped for him. Comparing myself to him, what I went through was nothing. 5 years of secondary school gone and 5 more years of higher education to come....yeay! oh well...

SOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRY JOEL!!! OMG I feel so bad....awh....I wish he slaughtered me, at least I won't feel so bad. I was stage managing with Melvin and Kelvin on Saturday night and everything went perfectly smooth until when I don't know how but one mic went missing. We're supposed to have 3 normal mics(1 solo and 2 duets) on stage and 4 condensers on the floor. I was busy running between Melvin and Kelvin, passing them the mics after each soloists then somewhere in the middle, one of the duet mics went missing. The duet between Carrie and Joel was fine but when it came to Joel's turn few songs later he was given the wrong mic. I was so silly I didn't actually notice it and was even busy switching off the mic in my hand! until the technicians came to me for the mic. But thank God Joel was so good he sang as though the mic was on. His voice was so cristal clear and loud I thought it was the mic. He kinda cekik-ted me before going off stage(the body language one). I wanted to say sorry to him after the show but he went home too soon. Oh, I feel so bad. This is no easy job man. Maybe it won't go wrong if we had clip-mics like last year eh. heeheehee.... Anyway, the show was great! The sound system is excellent and I think it was better than last year because last year we only had our school's choir but tonight, we had the KL Young singers, KL Adult choir and Ipoh choir. Also some very good soloist like Catherine who played the role of Belle last year in Ipoh.She sang "when she loved me" from Pinnochio. Also Jamie from Ipoh who sang Reflection- Mulan and ofcourse our ex-president Joel who sang a duet(A whole New World- Alladin) and a solo(The second star to the right- Peter Pan). Ah, I almost melted backstage hearing his voice. There were other very good soloists too it'd take the whole night if I were to credit one by one. The response wasn't so good though. The hall was packed last year. probably because we did "Les Miserables" but if you know music, this year's "Animation" is definitely better. Last year we needed the scouts to sort the crowd and the media was there too. I'm so happy to see Jamie and the gang. I missed them so... After the show, Elena fetched me from school and we went yam cha with Phoebe at Ravi's. There, we saw Bing Chien and family! Dunno why, Elena got this thingie when she sees him. She goes berserk. Hmmm... Now, my back really aches...I need a good sleep. Before I go to bed, SORRY JOEL!! oh wth...he doesn't read my blog. Tremayne oh Tremayne, what is Joel's e-mail again?

There are times in life when we just don't know what life is all about. We'll ask ourselves questions like... who am I? what am I to do? what shall I be? who am I with? When's tomorrow? The feeling of emptiness. It's like standing at a fork road, not knowing with road to take and there's no one to ask, to depend on. Both roads lead to two totally different lives. Since I know a little of palmistry, I sometimes read my own palm when I have nothing to do. On my right palm, the palm which writes my destiny, does not have a visible fateline. This means that I take my own fate and choose the way I live. While some people prefer to have a clear fateline, for they want to live a fated life beyond their control, I think choosing my own destiny would be fun. At least, we can't blame anyone when things don't turn out right. I don't hope to have big achievements like hike the tallest mountain or paint the best picture. I just want a happy and smooth sailing life with less problems to deal with...

Another tiring day... Went to the XTour at Sunway Lagoon with Elena and met other xfreshers there(Luanne, John, Peh Hua, Tony, Albert, Bing Chien, etc....) kinda boring there so we watched a movie and I don't even know the title now. Went to Kafe 7 at 5 something and played 3 hours of pool. So now...I'm BROKE~! Broke for last month's allowance. :-Þ I also saw Amy, Ann and Swee Hong at Guardian pharmacy when I was buying Gostape. Guess what? dropped another KG!! Oh...and about Wei Kin. I sent him a mail and he was kinda dissapointed, "It's was ME you were talking to lar! cannot recognise me ah!?!" Ah well...can't blame me. Don't see him that often....
