Pulau Pangkor Vacation..... Departure

Yesterday, when i reached Pangkor Island, i din thought i would have any fun adventures at all... coz all we went was the dried food factory, temples, beaches (i din went in the water bcoz i din bring my swimming suit), and our chalet...But i changed my mind today, coz this morning we went out for a walk in order to catch the low tide to see the coral reef. But too bad, the water isn't low enough... and well everyone chickened out, so we went back to our chalet. On our way home, we stopped by the beach, to play with the sands and catch some little sea critters...^.^
Then my cousin saw a boat fetching a bunch of ppl for a round island tour, and asked us if we wanna go ... and my first reaction was YES. coz that'll be a fun adventure indeed... and he went to asked the person in charge there about the price and such ... and told us that the price was RM15 per person, and we will go for a round island tour inclusive of snorkelling (u need to pay for the snorkel gear) and coral reef sight seeing. Then i immediately say i wanna go... coz i never seen life coral before... so i won't miss my chance here... Well my mum and aunt didn't want to go with us , so in the end it was juz me, my sister , father , cousin and his wife. So then we go for our exciting round island tour... YAY!!!!!

Well that was the fun part, now is the "hell" part...
After we had fun, we cleaned ourselves and prepare to go to the jetty to wait for a ferry to fetch us back to Lumut. But to our horror (though we had already kinda expected it), the waiting line was so long that i couldn't even see the end of the jetty...=.= thats really long... So we had to wait for about 2 hours or so until it's our turn to board... And after that...it's all a smooth ride back home , though we detoured a few times, like going to Taiping for dinner...=.= and went to Parit Buntar to buy some "Tu Kar" (Pork Leg) ...but even so , we managed to come back finally...
I missed my computer so much... i admit i'm already addicted to my computer...but hey i guess it was ok to go for a trip outdoor to get away from my computer once in a while... and i tell u now... I swear i'll come back to Pangkor island for some snorkelling and enjoy the view of the fish and corals from underwater... this i definitely will , someday in the future... though i dunno how long may that be...
Anyway , lets juz hope i'll find some time in the near future...
One last thing, i juz wanna say I'M FINALLY BACK!!!!!!!

Pulau Pangkor Vacation..... Arrival

Hi, its been a while since i last posted. Its finally new year, and that means there's lots of ang pows up for grabs... ^_^ Anyway my family had planned for all of us including my aunt and my cousin to go on a trip to Pulau Pangkor. I was happy at first bcoz i was expecting there to have some water sports like jet skies, snorkelling, scuba diving...and much more....but to my dissapointment, we only have lots of "kampung", salted fish, murky water...and not so clean beach. Even so, there's still a lot of ppl came here for holiday... i wonder why...
Well back to the topic, i'll be going home tomorrow since its only a 2 days 1 night trip. and we've already finished our 1st day here, by juz simple sight seeing with a taxi van, which charge us with an quite expensive price...T.T And much to our horror, their driving technique is much better than Michael Schumacher or Takumi from Initial D... They drived so fast that we was almost shaken off our seats, but partly bcoz of their road condition with all the mountain roads, sharp corners and numerous bumps.... Well they managed to make a few of us including myself almost got car sickness...
Well i'm writing this post using my cousins laptop, which i never touched b4....but hey there's a 1st time for everthing... including this ^.^ well lets hope i have a better day on my way home tomorrow. Wish me all the best !!!!!

HAPPY "NIU" YEAR...

Finally new year's coming, ang pow is waiting for us to collect, food and drinks waiting for us to savour and our long-waited school holidays!!! (even though it wasn't so long after school reopens...)
My sis, being born in the Ox year, is obsessed with getting everything that contains Ox, such as pillow case, bed sheets, pajamas, even her cup...(her drinking cup, not the other cup...(=.=""). Well even when its school holiday, i still feel a bit stressed. I dunno wat caused it...
My english teacher, who is also a Feng Shui practitioner, told me, that Ox is unable to live in harmony with the Goat, and to make the matter even worse, this year is a really bad year for goats... So that means i'm dead, ain't i ? With the following economy crisis on the rise, it does worry me a little even though it doesn't directly affects me.
Well who cares, i guess we'll juz have to live through this problem and continue our lives. Finally i wish all readers have a HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS OX YEAR!!!! and pray that i won't have too much bad luck.

Happy 17th Birthday to me...

Yay!!! I'm officially 17 this year. Nothing special about my b'day except that it seems that most ppl forgotten about it... Well i guess i'm fine with that coz i dun really tell ppl about my b'day, so it's no wonder no one knows. Even so, i'm glad that the girls did wished me, though some was early some was a bit late, but hey its better late than never, right? So since they remembered my b'day, i guess it's kinda my responsibility now to remember theirs, hopefully i will remember it.
My parents brought us out to enjoy a New Year celebration performance at Guang Ming Daily Main office. They set up a stage and they have a lot of performance for everyone.
There were a lot of ppl, so many until it was hard for ppl to walk or stand. Even so, we still managed to find our way to squeeze through. And guess where were we standing for the next 3 hours? The big, heavy SPEAKERS!!! There goes my hearing for a while. There were a lot of performance as i said before, like some acrobat shows, face-changing show, Ah Niu's short concert, and a lot of Hokkien singers sang songs, like Yi Bin, Wan Yin...etc.
Though i din receive any presents or cake this year, i am still very happy today coz i had a great time at the celebration concert. So i guess that should be enough as my present for this year. As the best present is me getting excellence result for my SPM. So let us all work hard and do our best. GANBATEH!!!!!

Happy or Despair ???

Its been a while... I was busy , feeling a bit down.
Back to my point, yesterday i was called into my PK HEM's office along with another 9 students...We're all from ranking 201-210. And we were offered the chance to go back to A class. I stood there, wondering, and slowly think about it , he din bother giving us time to think... (stupid PK HEM) I was thinking, it's my only chance for going back to A-class, but then i will have to leave my friends in the B-class, its a hard choice... A-class for the ego? or B-class for my friendship? damn it was a hard choice.... In the end i chose to go back to A-class, i noe its sad to leave my friends, but we're all in the same school right? so we can still meet each other. And i never look down upon those B & C classes. They're all humans, some might even be our boss in the future... I was sent to 5SA4, well u might thought i'm so lucky...but u might wanna think again.
A4 has quite a number of dissapointing teachers... well not to say they're dissapointing... Its juz i dunno about their potential yet. Well i gues i juz have to suffer for a little while longer. Well lets juz all wish me luck n pray that i succeed!

Recruitment Day 2009

Today's the Recruitment day of all the uniform units, societies and clubs...
As usual i went to help my Astronomy Club to recruit some new members...
Its took me a while to think back , wat i need to do to attract ppl...
Few pointers :
1st. SMILE always...(service with a smile)
2nd. be WELL inform...(coz they'll ask a lot of questions)
3rd. must be BRAVE...(u need to take the 1st approach)
4th. be HELPFUL to others..(thats wat i always do...)
Well thats r wat i remembered from my previous experience...
Back to the recruits... I've encountered some very weird families throughout the whole day. They r some that r interested, they r some that r juz curious... and they r even some that r juz plain ANNOYING. Nevertheless, today i saw some of my juniors perform real well, even better than i am >.<...But i guess thats wat we need in the future after we graduate from school. Today we managed to recruit around 50-70 new members.
Well i've been standing the whole day, and its kinda tiring, but its kinda fun too...
Thats the reason y i volunteered for this. Well this is my last chance of recruiting members...(no more after i graduate. T_T) ...Anyway i had a kinda fun time today, hope the new members won't be troublesome during our 1st activity...Anyway CNY is coming... So HAPPY "NIU" YEAR.. ^_^

1st week of school

Haiz... Its finally the 1st day of school, i lazily woke up to get ready for school for my final year in secondary school. One thing sure had changed, I've dropped down to B-class, i was devastated, and now i still feel a bit depressed. I went to my PK HEM office to apply for transfer to A-class since my overall result weren't that bad throughout the whole year. But i got rejected, i was even more devastated. Well i guess i have to live through this n regret this for the rest of my live. On the 1st day of school, usually we don't do anything except introductions...(which i hate a lot >.<).
On the 2nd day of school , we finally got out Form 5 text books from the Education Ministry....Well most of the books i got were fairly good , not much r damaged though there's a lot of scribbles...(thx to the person b4 me), and once again we din do much that day also.
Well, on the 3rd day, we've finally started our lessons, which in results , i had a lot of homeworks...(X_X).... Everything seems hard this year, but i think i'll make my way through it...I must...
Actually nothing really happened during 4th n 5th day... normal, boring lessons...n lots of homeworks...>.<

School reopens soon...

Well as usual our long year end holidays r coming to an end... Schools r reopening soon and i'm in my final year this year... kinda nervous. It ain't gonna be easy this year , in fact it will be worse... due to the situation i'm in. Well even so, i think i'll find my way through it. If i can't i'll juz have to live my life in regrets.
Juz got my haircut today, finally i feel more like myself... i dun really mean that i dun like having long hair, but its juz feels good when i have my usual not-too-long-or-short hair. I'm kinda busy with preparing the things i need for school.
Recently there's been an article or rumours saying that water tumblers with the code no. of 7 is harmful to humans and may coz infertility. Code no. 7 is also usually known as other types of plastic , common one being polycarbonate which most water tumblers on the market now are made of. So due to this rumour, my mum brought all of us to the Tupperware shop to buy its products. Its seems that the Tupperware brand has been proven to have no harmful effects on human at all, and it also gives us lifetime warranty of its products. Well i dun noe much of the details... But i do noe is my mother bought 3 water tumblers from Tupperware.
Thinking back, if i'm not wrong i did asked my parents to buy water tumblers from the Tupperware brand a long time ago, and they said its too pricey... But now they r buying it when i dun really wan to change... U may feel that i'm being picky or wateva, i dun care. I choose user-friendly over healthy if i were to make a choice. In other words, i juz dun wanna change my things. I hate changes to be honest. Yeah i noe, in life there's always changes, but not everything changes especially my personal things, yet ppl always ask to change... I'm juz that kind of particular guy, maybe the one and only in the world... being stubborn on using old stuffs...^^
Ok , maybe that isn't something I should be proud about. But who cares... This is me and this is how i live my life...Ciao for now... Lets all have a safe school opening.

Goodbye Year 2008...

A lot had happen throughout the whole year. Meeting new friends, taking up new tasks, failing tests, winning competition, earn some prize money, desperately trying to complete the marathon...these were all the things that happen.
Beginning of this year, I'm a Form 4 student. I met lots of new n old faces. Met some cool teachers.
Learn a lot of new things (exclude add. math) , then i went n join a cooking competition, along with my partner, Quah Jun Eu, n u know wat? We cooked up a storm, became the 1st champion of the Power Chef Competition , beat the heck out of those poor cuties... After that, i was chosen to be one of the committee members of our club's Astronomy day. Phew... that was a lot of hard work. I was in-charge of the games and was partly the mc of the event, (i noe my public speaking sucks...)
I was also the one in-charge of contacting students from other schools... (i only contacted girl's schools..hehe >_<) N u know wat? In the end i ended up contacting 5 schools... But only 3 schools came...T.T Well there were still some girls... And i met club presidents of those schools i invited, and became friends...(they're cute...^^) But things didn't went well, the game i planned went up in flames... Everything was chaotic that day... I was so dissapointed, i had worked so hard to prepared but in the end the effort was in vain... But still i would like to thanks those who were with we during the planning and supported the whole event to make it still memorable to those participants... And bad things always led to good things...^^ some of the participants (girls) talk to me... n i had a good time even though i'm still sad... even now i am still sad... Thx girls for cheering me up!!!!! After that roller coaster ride, comes another ride... I joined another competition along with 3 friends. Its known as the F1 in School project. We formed a team n named it Team Dismo. Our task is to create a miniature F1 car made of balsa wood. We were also required to find our own sponsorship n make publicity like a real F1 team. I was the Manufacturing Engineer and was in charge of the manufacturing process of our cars... I was also helping out with the team with finding sponsors and shops to make our souvenirs, banners... My dad also helped out with the making of the display unit... This whole project took 3 whole months until it was completed, then we went for the competition held in Kepala Batas. T.T too bad we lost... It was hard work but in the end we still lost... Stupid designers >.< :P... Still it was a nice experience to have... It was also fun, i like to work with machines... ^^ Well after that was also over, i din had anything to do left.... except trying my best to pass my add math... I failed horribly everytime ... T.T not to proud of it... But even so i still have faith in my own ability... as long as i have the heart to do my revision...which sadly i don't... Well lets juz all hope that i'll do my best next year... During the year end , i enterd the Penang Bridge International Marathon, n joined the 25km run along with my friend. To be honest, i din make any preparation for it... thinking that i can probably make it... But sadly i can't , i wasn't able to finish the marathon within its 3 hours time limit. I finished the marathon with the time of 4 hours 10 minutes... And ended up with a pairs of broken legs... It hurts like hell the next day.... T.T But along the way i met some of my primary friends , quite a lot of them... I din expect to meet them there... well i guess that was fate. After the marathon, i joined another walkathon , the Starwalk with my family. But i was in the competition group, they were in the non-competition group... We were required to walk 10km (not that far considering i had run 25km before) n the time limit is 2 hours. I walked and finished it around 1 hour 15 minutes. I was tired coz there was a point where we need to walk upslope...which is almost impossible , my legs was tired, but the finishing line is juz over the hill...So i had to force myself to walk over that not so big hill...n make my way through it... But luckily the next day my legs weren't aching... We also had our annual primary friends gathering at one of my friends house. I went there early along with a girl friend, Carin to help out with the preparations... I also made a chocolate mudcake, for them to savour...As usual not many came , i am really sad thinking back now... Is it really impossible for all of us to gather around even though its juz one day??? i dunno... and i dunno how many years longer i can organise such events... Maybe one day when i leave, wat will happen to the gathering?... will it still be organise? or will it juz fade away with everyones heart? Well thats almost all the things i did this year... Wat did u all did?... Hopefully more interesting than mine...I may be tired of all my activities this year, but i learn a lot n made a lot of friends , crate a lot of happy and sad memories, and i hope everyone will have a good time next year. i know i will try to have a good time, since it will be my last year of schooling, i'm sure to make a blast!!! ^^

Finally i wanna say,

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL READERS !!! LET'S WELCOME YEAR 2009!!!
