Thank-you

Thanks to those who wished me happy birthday today.

A special event is the birthday song from the kids in the daycare and tuition centre there... Thanks to the kids in Pusat Tuisyen Cekap Bervisi.. It's quite touching... Honestly, I didn't expect them to remember my birthday.

Thanks for all your wishes. I will strive my best, always and forever. Jia you every one!

A whole new chapter

STPM is finally over. And I have been going online these few days. Right on the day STPM becomes a past, I signed up for Facebook. Guess what, within two days or so, I already have more than 160 friends. hahaha... fast and efficient ma...

The day we finished our exam, we went for karaoke session at Low Yat. Wow, I think it's the first time I could really hear my voice in the midst of voices. Previously, my singing was usually covered by the 'more dominant' high-pitched voice. I think some of you know who I mean. lol. Well, I guess we made the right choice singing in another room.

I came across a very nice song during the karaoke session. In fact I think I have listened to it without knowing the title. It's "Truly, Madly, Deeply". A very sentimental, romantic song which can even be played in wedding dinner. I think Sin Yee loves this song very much. She purposely 'jumped' the song to the first in the song list so that she could sing it before going back. Can't believe she loves to sing that song so much. Thought she's only in love with Ethan. haha....



Before exam's over, I watched a Taiwanese drama (仙剑奇侠传). During the last episode, I somehow had got mixed feelings. I was thinking that every story has an ending. And life is actually a combination of different stories at different stages. Now that STPM is done, life in Form 6 becomes a history in my life.

A whole new chapter of life has now unfolded.

And I will strive my best, be a better person and accomplish my dreams in this new chapter!

Old dramas can be broadcast again upon popular demand. But stories in life doesn't probably happen again. It's highly unlikely that the class of 6A1 can be together studying Form 6 again in SMKB.However, all the moments in life can be savoured over and over again. It just depends on you.

It's the stories in SMKB that has ended, but absolutely not our friendship. 

PS: Please see the next post. It's a continuation.

Updates about me

Finally, I　update my blog... lol

Now that trial is done, STPM is coming in two months' time.

I can devote all my attention on studies now, since I have retired both officially and unofficially from my positions in different societies and clubs.

A few words to juniors: Be a responsible person. Learn from past mistakes and be confident. Ganbatte!

Our school celebrated "Bulan Kemerdekaan" on Thursday.

Now, the word "One Malaysia" is often heard. Advertisement about it has been seen very often. It is also the theme of the celebration in our school. A drama is performed by the Form 4 students, reminding us to stay united.

Well, I think what matters more is the actions taken. Unity is not achieved by words, but by actions. There is always truth behind the saying "Action speaks louder than words".

PS: Forget to mention, I am on holiday now.
Jia you!!

Pre-U Council Orientation

Before reading this post, just play this song. It's a nice, relaxing song. Listen to it while you are going through this blog post. lol...




We had our orientation on from 25th to 27th June.

I did not join in the groups playing the games organised. And that's because I was in the organising committee. Yes!! That means I have the best opportunity to play around with the juniors.

Before orientation:



We were busy doing preparations.





This is my hand (shown incompletely...that's obvious...haha) >>




The first day:



Dividing the members into groups. Pn. Sharifah in this photo....lol >>





We grouped them according to the name of planets. Too bad, all of them were abnormal, since none of them was in the planet Earth. Before I forget, we only had 8 groups. The Earth is too dangerous, but not necessarily you have to return to Mars, for we also had Uranus and Neptune!!! hahaha...






The second day:



We first had "Amazing Race" which was equivalent to treasure hunt in store for the 8 groups.

The mission that every one must go through. From here, they branched out to other different missions.


The physical challenge...


We then had "Station Games". There are 8 stations altogether.

They were passing water. The last person then poured the water into a pail. They must collect a fixed amount of water in order to win.


Blow a balloon with flour inside until it burst!! "Pong!"


Direct the ping pong ball through a flour-filled route.


Catch the water bag!! And that's me jumping up. lol =p


Posing...I like this photo very much. I think (uh hum..I Think) it's nice. This is a display of confidence and perhaps self-love, but certainly not narcissism. By the way, is this camwhoring?




The third day:



Me again... Honestly, I like to take photos, just that I do not have a camera.


Wasei... dragonball gui bo hei gong, haha :P >>




The orientation lasted for only 3 days. Does anyone actually feel that they had not enough fun? haha...

Well, hope you guys enjoyed yourselves during these 3 days.

All pre-u students, let's work hard for a better future!! Ganbatte!!!

2009 Teacher's Day

Today is our Teacher's Day celebration at school level. It's held earlier this year.

Initially, i thought the performances were not going to be interesting, considering the little time allocated for the preparations.

Well, I must say I am wrong. The students put up quite some hilarious and nice shows.

There were a performance from the chinese orchestra group of our school, a hip-hop dance and a very special, unique dance that displayed a combination of Indian and hip-hop cultures. haha... This dance really made the crowd burst into laughter.

Too bad, I did not record it.

Well, this is the last year i celebrate Teacher's Day in our school. i somehow felt touched actually. In the middle of the event, my mind went wandering to the moment of our coming graduation day end of this year. During the Graduation Day in Form 5, i did feel sad about leaving the school and a group of friends. Now that i stay on for an additional two years, i think my heart had grown fonder of the environment and some teachers here and i will feel even more reluctant having to leave this school. i did disagree with some of the systems implemented, but i still love this my school after all. Just like how we still love our parents after all their naggings and blames on us.

After the rather grand celebration in the school hall, our class also prepared a special celebration for our teachers. For documentation purpose, they are Pn Hong (Maths), Pn Suraini(P.A.), Pn. Vijaya(Chem) Pn. Zahariah(Bio), Mr. Tay(P.A.) and Mr. Tiong(MUET). Delight is clearly written all over their faces when we wished them happy teacher's day and proceeded with the cake-cutting session. A porcelain cup is our gift to each of them.

Well, I really expressed my gratitude to them, from the very bottom of my heart. They are truly good teachers. Some of them even go the extra miles and educate us to be a better person. I don't attend tuition at all in Form 6, except for P.A. --- i have no implied meaning, don't get me wrong! lol

Speaking of teaching, I have a perception about the teaching profession. This thought struck me while listening to Pn. Wong speech today. A teacher's job is not to teach, but to educate. There are differences between teaching and educating. Teaching simply means disseminating the technical information according to the syllabus set. But educating means more than that. It encompasses the responsibility to show students the right ways in life and guide them to becoming better men in future. Teachers should always inculcate positive values and habits in students, like moving on in adversity and thinking out of the box.

To those pursuing a teacher's career, remember to always educate your students. Motivate your students. Mould them into better men. They are the ones going to lead the world. Held in them are the chance and hope to see a better world in the future!

There will be no future without teachers. We are nothing without them. Teachers are great, but they just do it in silence. They educate us, shape us, and equip us with a pair of invisible wings together with the ability to fly. All they ask for in return is to see us soaring high and beyond the sky. Our teachers might not remember us, but we should appreciate them for what they have done for us and always remember them. No matter how high we fly, make landing once in a while to pay them a visit. Just like what we should do to our parents.

PS: Thank you teachers. Happy Teacher's Day! The best gift to a teacher: Still remembering them and saying thank you to them after 10 years when we have achieved great heights in life. I will do that!

*Here's a good song you may have listened to before. Just to feed your soul. Jia you!

These few weeks had been so hectic for me. Practically every day, I go home only after 4pm. I kind of regret involving myself in the committee members of several clubs last year. And that actually eats part of my revision time. Well, right or wrong, it's my choice. I have to take 100% responsibility on it. I will try my best to manage my time well, grab hold of every seconds and utilise time to the maximum. One important thing is to cut down on the time spent to go online.

And this also means I might blog less frequently. Anyway, if an overwhelming feeling and inspiration come flooding into my mind, most probably I will head straight to my computer and blog.

From a motivational book I ever read, I learn to take full accountability and responsibility on our decisions in life. At junctures in life, we might make a wrong choice. But that's the road taken. Instead of grumbling about the hurdles and curdles along the way, we should learn to terms with the fact: We make the wrong move. We should go on and never give up. In fact, it's the thorns and prickles that make us tougher.

Embrace the difficulties and enjoy the process of overcoming them. Enjoy what we have got. Change what seems as an adversity into an opportunity that makes us a better man.

I have-via the e-mail-come across a sentence that sounds something like this:

Coffee powder, in hot water, melts and gives nice aroma. The coffee powder has totally changed the difficult environment it's in.

In face of difficulties, some people frown and cease trying after several failures. Some get very tough, but they end up smiles-deprived. They manage to work out many problems but are not really happy about all those obstacles in life. Then we have the third type of people who behave like the coffee powder. They take the challenge happily and enjoy life's stumbling blocks. They eventually come out as the winner, filled with the satisfaction and joy of overcoming problems.

It's not easy to be the third type of people, but we can do it. Change our perception and believe in ourselves.

Changing the face changes nothing, but facing the change changes everything.

See things from the bright side. An optimistic outlook of life shows happiness and unfolds the stairways to the heavenly destination. So , start seeing the world with a whole new 'eye'.

Today at a ceremony, I saw many high-achievers that really shine. This year, we have two recipients for the Anugerah Mutiara. Once, I had a thought of coming up with a real breakthrough in physics and get recognised as the most intelligent person on earth. Even more intelligent than the one and only Albert Einstein. Looking back, now only I see how naive I was once. The world is full of highly-intelligent people. We have so many child prodigies, for instance in music or Maths. How are we to judge who is more intelligent? Different individuals actually have different aspects of intelligence, as suggested by the research on "Multiple Intelligence". Well, Albert Einstein might be the cream of the crop in the Physics world. But we might be far better than him in other areas. Well, if so then who is more intelligent?

There are billions of talents out there. And even more is to come. Only at today's ceremony, there are already so many top-scorers present. How are we to be better than the rest of the world in each and every area? Perhaps, the right thing to do is to get better than what we were yesterday. And I now see it this way, I suppose. But my dream to do research and make breakthroughs never fades. I still want to create medical breakthroughs to help those suffering from illness or health conditions. Wow! I admit I am ambitious, but anything is possible.

I have my dreams. And I will work towards accomplishing these dreams.

PS: Find your way! Dream and make the dreams come true.

Happenings ... Education

It has been a real long time since I last blogged. *sorry*

I have been very busy these days. And the more important reason is that I don't have the mood to blog. Every time I blog, I usually sit in front of the computer, organise my thoughts and take quite some time to come up with a blog post. My intention is to make my blog as inspiring as possible. Well, maybe that takes away some fun of blogging. And I guess I have to change, at least to a small extent.

There were quite many happenings this two months. I was in charge of several activities in school. And indeed, I learnt a lot. I have changed in a way, perhaps. I start to use a different perception to view things.

We had our LPS orientation earlier on during the holiday in March. I have to admit that we kind of did last-minute work, as many of us were busy practising marching for sports day. We were about to change the date of orientation as many people apparently could not come for the event. But in the end, we went on with the set date and luckily, the orientation turned out quite successful. I was one of the emcees for that whole day. Well, I think I　did quite well taking into account the fact that it was my first time being an emcee.

A big thanks to all AJKｓ　for making the LPS orientation so successful. If not for all your hard work, we would not have achieved such success.

A recent remark from a friend of mine made me do a self-reflection. Does my life revolve only around my world? Do I give important consideration to the souls around me? Have I been overly self-centered? Well, I was stunned at a moment. Have I been belittling the importance of others? There are no absolutely correct answers to these questions, as different individuals set different definition for 'self-centered' But a thing we, as the species with emotions and the highest intelligence quotient, must take note is to do things with the heart and souls. Perhaps we are not so great that we put people's priorities over ours, but never ignore others' presence in our life. Perhaps, I do need to learn how to treasure others. But at the same time, be prepared to deal with some rascals who just take advantage of our kindness.

Well, it's a remark that hit the very bottom of my soul. A remark that made me so thoughtful. A word can change one's life. So, look out for the word that will change yours.

Lately, our school has implemented quite a lot of changes. We will soon have lecture-based teaching method for the sixth formers. In other words, we are going to be the guinea pigs. Our school has also been nominated in several niches in our effort to transform KB to a cluster school, some sort of 'sekolah cemerlang'. For the sake of getting the prestige, many clubs and societies are required to take care of a small portion of land in the school. Different clubs have to plant different things there.

During an assembly weeks ago, I actually heard something that made me ponder on our education system. *WARNING: LONG ESSAY AHEAD*....(haha, I will write as long as I feel I want to... but pls read the following as it's relevant to you as a student.)

We are constantly reminded to behave well and go abide by the school's rules and regulations. But why? What is the purpose of the school telling us to line up properly and quietly during assembly? What is the school's aim asking us to greet the outsiders, especially the officers from the Department? Not enough with being disciplined, we are taught to work hard and perform in exams. Some teachers always remind us to get prepared for PMR, SPM and STPM in order to score excellently.

Now, the questions are: are we reminded to do all these for the sake of ourselves? Or are we maintaining good discipline in order to keep the school's image good? Are we told to excel in exams for the sake of improving our school's ranking? Which is the first thing that comes to the mind of these educators? Excellent results leading to bright future of the students? Or the high number of students getting straight A's leading the school to be the prestigious 'sekolah cemerlang'?

Instead of asking us to excel in exams, they should tell us to perform well in our studies. For quite a few times during the assembly, teachers mentioned about 'sekolah cemerlang'. And we are all too familiar with the word magnet school. It has always occurred to me that the real purpose of education is to make one a better man. I always think that prestige of the school is just a by-product of the school's and teachers' dedicated, combined effort to educate the students, with the primary intention of moulding the students into better men, and paving bright futures ahead for the students. But have the intention and objectives of education changed? What has become of our education system?

This is a crucial flaw that we must overcome in order to see revamp in the system. Well, enough said. Whether we like it or not, we have to bear with the system for the time being. But do believe that it will be a better day ahead. Have faith. Let the power of our belief spread to others and influence them. Let power of our faith attract the positive changes we hope to see and lead us to the heavenly destination. Believe!

Some scribbles....

It's 2009!

My first blog post in this new year....

Well, it's very true that a piece of good work needs inspirations. I guess it's the same with blogging. I was actually looking for the feelings of blogging and some inspirations before I started writing this post.

One of my ways to search for thought-provoking ideas is by listening to music. These days, I listen to music quite always. Perhaps, without me knowing it, music has become a part of my life.

Now, I don't listen only to Jay Chou's songs, but I start varying the music　ｔｈａｔ　Ｉ enjoy. These are the few songs I like:

走火入魔 by 阿信， 叮当


Inside Your Heaven by Carrie Underwood


Try listening to the second song. A nice one.

I always feel soothed and relaxed when listening to these songs. The feeling is like my heart and soul being touched and gripped by a sense of calmness and serenity. Sometimes, a tinge of sadness mingles in the heart too.

When I feel unhappy, those songs can heal, or hurt me even more deeply. Yet, I always go on listening to those songs, without any good reasons to do so. People say all our emotions and feelings are governed by the actions of chemicals like hormones and neurotransmitters in our body. That's absolutely true. However, do you want to control our emotions artificially using chemical injections? Do we want to stop the natural control of our feelings. If we use chemical to control everything from our illnesses to even our feelings and intelligence, is there any difference then, between humans and robots, except that we are made of real flesh while they are created from metals? Or should we label ourselves as robotic humans? Science has got explanations and theories for thousands and thousands of things. But these theories are not necessary to put to practice.

Theories are not discovered to be misused. Inventions are not created to be abused. Just like the case of discovering radioactivity. People misuse it in atomic and nuclear bomb. Is this the things and effects we want to see from the advancement of technology? Is this the way things should be? What has become of the world we are living in? The environment is bad, the people are not as good as the previous generations are.

We don't have the power to turn back clock, but we can always make a U-turn and head back to the right tracks in life. You can get diverted from the mainstream, but don't get off what you think is right in your heart and soul.

Well, I am sorry to have written so many things. These come out from a sudden thought of mine. Perhaps, this is the good thing about blogging. You can 'type' your thought freely.

Upper 6 life is getting busier. I had been very much on the go weeks ago finishing our group assignment. That's the first time I truly felt the hectic life in Form 6. It's like facing waves of tsunami that time. I stayed up till 1.30am in my friend's house to complete the assignment. I fell sick and still attended school, because I didn't want to miss classes. I joked to keep my spirits up, talked nonsense so as to alleviate the uncomfortable feelings, and laughed to get rid of sleepiness. Yet, some said I have taken steroids. Well, I have got no comment on that.

Be life-confident. That's what our MUET teacher told us. Be confident in what we undertake. No doubt, confidence is the element that we need in order to bring the best out of us. To build confidence, first feel confident, and think of being confident. This brings us to the law of attraction. If you think you can, you are generating a frequency saying 'I CAN' to the cosmic universe. The frequency is then amplified and transmitted back to you. And you will manage to do what you wanna do.

Though life is hectic now, this is the opportunity for me to learn and pick up skills. It's the time to train my endurance, sharpen my abilities and polish my skills. It's a challenge to embrace. A challenge to take. And I would say, "Let's get down to it. Bring it on!" I will come through this challenge, be a better man, hold my head high and realise my dreams.

Because I believe, I achieve!

PS: Be life-confident! Be the only one! Just do it!

In memory of my dog...

He's a Doberman.

He was always obedient.

He liked putting his leg on ours.

He licked our hands.

He is 'Dobby'.

This Tuesday (9th December 2008), he died.

I saw him struggling for some moments.

And we had to make a harsh decision. A decision to put him to sleep.

I saw him die. Tears filled my eyes.

I was sad. In fact, my whole family was saddened by his death.

He had been a very good dog all this while. He has done his job very well too.

It's time for you to rest, Dobby. I will never forget that I ever had you in my life.

IN MEMORY OF DOBBY.

Just saw an unusual phenomenon... Wow!

That was indeed a memorable day!

It's this monday, 1st of December 2008.

It's the day when I saw very unusual sky phenomenon...

"Go out and see the moon now, got something interesting" This was the sms I received on around 8.30pm that day.

Without doubting if my friend was trying to fool me, I went out of the house and saw the moon. Initially, I wasn't able to see anything interesting. Just the moon. But then, not long after, I saw the bigger picture.

The moon was smiling at me!








Wow... I had got mixed feelings.

The next day, I came to know that the smiling moon was actually caused by the moon, and the planet Jupiter and Venus that aligned to form the smiley. The Jupiter and Venus formed the two eyes of the smiley, whereas the moon made up the charming smile. It's really.... breathtaking scene. 'Wow' is not enough!!

I actually went out to gaze at the smiling moon twice. The second time I saw it, I made my wishes in front of the smiling moon. haha....

(Listen to this song when reading the following. It adds some 'touching' effects.)



The wishes I made were not to be forgotten. I still remember them, and will keep them in my mind. They are not merely wishes. They are my dreams, dreams that I will strive to fulfill. I have stated my dreams in front of such an unusual phenomenon, and I believe that I will have the inconceivable power, drive and energy to accomplish my dreams.

The moon, Jupiter and Venus are three different things. Jupiter and Venus are planets, but moon is not. And surprisingly, it happened that they came together to form a charming and mesmerizing smiley.

And it's even more surprising that, we, in another planet called the Earth, had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to gaze at such a great phenomenon.

I would rather define this as a miracle. A miracle that happened in reality.

A miracle that gives us hopes when hopes are frail.

This miracle promises us that we will see more miracles to come, if we never give up and we keep fighting till the end.

Mathematicians know how not probable it is for these three different things to arrange into a smiley. And it's nearly impossible for us to really see this phenomenon. But in the past, there were a cluster of people called the 'astrologists' who had never thought about those impossibilities. They just believed. Believed in miracles. Miraculously and successfully, they saw what they had believed in. And they since then found out that this unusual phenomenon happens every 44 years.

Because of them, we saw this miracle. And we'll start to believe in miracles.

Miracles always happen to those who believe in them. In times of desperation, never ever abandon hope. Try to recall what we have experienced so far. Remember the miracle of seeing a smiling moon. Be patient when we face any crisis, believe in miracles, because miracles are going to happen.



PS: If the moon, jupiter and venus can come together as a smiley, any miracles can happen when we believe and try.

Memories in Bukit Larut....

Good times are there to recall and cherish. And the trip to Bukit Larut is truthfully one of the best moments I had throughout my life in SMKB. This trip is a memory to be kept for the rest of my life.

All smiles and ready to go for our destination >>>>>







Around 4 hours after that, we reached taiping! Then, waited for another bus and went to Fang Jayne's grandparents' house.



AT TAIPING LAKE...haha..


4 quite-handsome guys posing their smiles, but I have no idea why ding hang close his eyes...


weee = victory
smile = happiness
we smile! Cheering our friendship forever!






forever friends!



SHOOTING MY DEBUT MV... haha...












our finger-licking good dinner.... cooked by the four of us in this photo!


feeling sunshine...




PS: When I see this post one day in future, I will recall all those smiles and nice memories! Friendship always remains despite not seeing each other....

The Australian Visitors

Yesterday, our school, SMKB, received a visit from about 20 Australians, which are doing their high school.

A luck would have it, my class, 6B1, had the honour to interact and mix with them. And I was really glad to hear that piece of news. So, there we went to the school hall.

We were seated at our own place. The 6B1 students and the visitors were sitting separately. We were there prior to their arrival. And when they stepped in the hall, some of them shook hands with our students. One even gave us some souvenirs brought from their country. To make it short, they were friendly enough.

We then had Luei Hann as the emcee for the "Welcome" ceremony specially prepared for the Aussies. The performances included the chinese orchestra and traditional dance from the students. We also watched a slide show produced by the prefects.

The next session was the interacting session. As we are host school students, we took the initiative to interact and chat with them. We also took pictures together. And I did exactly that.

From our conversation, I got to know that they will be in Malaysia for around 9 days and their trip is on their own expenses. They are visiting Penang Island too. haha...

There's not much to talk about. But one thing interesting was, many of them had earlier prepared some souvenirs. And when they met us yesterday, they gave us things like pens and the Australia flags.

Though most of the Aussies are in the age range of 14 to 16, they looked matured, indeed. And that was what I told them.

I got to know many new friends and had also got their email address. To name a few, Shelby, Kirstine and Nicole. Hopefully, we have the chance to chat online.

The meeting with the Aussies was really an exposure for me. I did enjoy meeting them and hopefully, they enjoy that too.

PS: It's nice meeting with you all, the Aussies. haha...

What's happening

Wow! It has been more than a month since I last blogged. Indeed, I have been quite busy these days, and I suppose there's more to come. Plus, I wasn't in the mood of blogging. *haha*

There have been quite some happenings last month. I was in charge of the merdeka celebration at school level. Three of my classmates were chosen to be the emcees for the event. At the end of the celebration, another fourteen of us (including emcees) - as usual - went upstage and ---------- 'laung merdeka' So patriotic of us! *hahahaha* We, the committee, luckily received compliments from the teachers. And we do deserve them!

Form 6 life had been quite hectic, especially after I spend a portion of time surfing the net and blogging. So, what I wanna say is that time management is of utmost importance. And I am learning to spend quality time....... hahahaha

I do mean it. Time management is important. All of us have 24 hours a day. Time well-spent or not, it depends solely on us. People might think it's useful to be equipped with the power to freeze time. But let's think it over. Would it really help? If you are used to procrastinating, you will carry on the bad habit and leave things undone even if you have the luxury of time. If one is addicted to playing online games, will he ever give up his addiction when he has the ability to freeze time?

Oops, it sounds as if I were writing an essay on time. You can perhaps refer to it as one of your points when writing essays.......lolz....

In conclusion, you will need time management skills unless you can be like this:





Lately, I stay back at school quite often for LPS. Having joined LPS for almost 6 years, I do feel a stronger sense of belonging to it. And it's actually good to have this feeling. It keeps my spirit alive whenever I feel down.

Speaking of feeling down, it's common to sink into depression at times. Even dogs feel down occasionally.




Have you never ever felt down before?



I remember one of my friends telling me to pour out my feelings in my blog posts. But I actually prefer another means of getting rid of bad mood - by listening to music. Seriously, different people mend their broken heart by different ways. But, try to be as cheerful as I am. Be happy always. I have heard people saying, "If a problem can be solved, no need to worry about it. If a problem cannot be solved, what is the use of worrying?" That's very true. Don't endure hardships. Enjoy them. Only this can bring you further.

Guess what? I think I am getting more obsessed with Taiwan (or Korean) romance drama. I am watching "Rolling Love' now and I find it quite interesting. I guess it touches my heart, especially because the drama reflects the inner feelings of a blind, pretty girl. The story is rather unrealistic, but it is actually these unrealistic elements that give us hope to see a revamped world, and a beautiful, shining future.

The love story in these typical dramas are usually unlikely to happen in reality, but they fill my world with hopes, and my life with 'substance'. Tshey give me the hope that I still stand a chance to experience that kind of "love chemistry". They give me the hope to make my dream come true even if they're under high unlikeliness to be real.

They motivate me to strive harder. And they touch my soul.

In fact, all sorts of possibilities rise from impossibilities. All realities rise from dreams. Every success starts with a dream to succeed!

Here's the theme song of the drama "rolling love".



This song, or this type of songs for that matter, never fails to be my driving force to achieve better results. Hope you enjoy it!

Genting Trip

Recently (29th June), I went to Genting Highlands with my friends and many other schoolmates whom I do not know. Actually, this trip was organised by our MUET (which stands for Malaysian University English Test) teacher, Mr Tiong. So, it was open to all students. But that doesn't reduce our fun at all during the trip.

In fact, it was the thick mist that made the trip less fun. The mist had been so thick that one couldn't even see things 5 meters away.

During the trip, I had captured many photos of myself. I even took the trouble (in fact, I troubled him...oops) to ask a favour from my Kelvin to help me take my personal photos.


don't say my hair is short..... I just had it cut the day before....



me..... (cool?)



me again......(no matter how or what you think, I think I look cool in this photo...haha)

Oops.... I just found out that I have become so obsessed with myself. Is it that I have the condition "narcissism". I just came across this word in the net. In fact, I like taking photos of my own self. But it's just that I have neither camera nor camera phones. No jokes. (Don't say I am 'zi lian kuang') This is my way of boosting self-esteem. *hahahaha....*



Five gentlemen showing their backs without an apparent reason. But we had fun!! That's perhaps the best reason on earth!



Me, half ding hang and one third siang xian. hahaha.......... (maybe they don't like being captured. lol)



From left:Issac, Ding Hang, Jun Pak and me, Weng Hoong la!! First time do I mention my real name in my blog. haha..... Apparently, Jun Pak was very shy to be captured. That's why he closed his eyes!! haha..... Then, what do you think of Issac? handsome? cool? hmm... one word that matches him perfectly: skinny. (Just like our Mr. Kah Ooi)
Then you see Ding Hang. He acted as if there's a very pretty girl in front and he was going after her, asking her to wait for a few more seconds. haha.... Me? What to describe? handsome, young and cheerful?? haha....


It's us again!! Good fun times!



Just out from the snow world. It's so fun and cold inside. If you go inside without wearing sweater or jackets or any winter clothes for that matter, you will be frozen to numbness. But it so happened that there's this guy from our school who came in with a simple t-shirt and short pants. What?! But the truth is, he came in for a short while only. I supposed he's half-frozen when he got out. What he wanted to do was to draw people's attraction. lol

That's all for my Genting trip. In short, it's fun and nice. haha.... Thanks every one for making it great!

They are owayz rite? Not really!

Having been as a "sales consultant" in esprit, I have met many different customers.

As I mentioned in my blog before, the customers range from old men to pretty girls, fat women to skinny young men.

situation #1
Can u get me a medium for this?
Sure, just wait a moment.

Then, I went to the store and checked for the stock..... after a long search, i found tat it's sold out.

So, i went out, planning to tell him the truth.
But then, he was gone.

I supposed that's because he didn't wanna wait. Hey! Do u think i am a computer? i sure nid time to check our stock, okey?! Even computer takes some time to load a webpage.

So, are they always right?

Situation #2
Give me an XL
Ok.
hmm..... it's not suitable for me.......(she meant not big enuf)
err..... then mayb u can have a look at this. The cutting of this shirt is bigger.

then, another girl beside her said:
ei, leng zai, u shud not say cutting is bigger...... u shud say cutting is more suitable.
"omg, zadao"

haiz, i thought, i am just telling the truth. come on! face it. the truth is, you are FAT!

situation #3
this is a very common situation that happens during peak period, for example, when cny is coming.
i was busy serving a few customers.....
then some other customers still approached me and ask me things about the price. some oso asked me to take the size for them.

haiz, i was already so busy. can't you see that? can't you ask somebody else?

actually, you can ask me. but, the thing is, can you wait until i finished serving my customers on hand? can you not show a face of dislike if i ask you to wait?

haiz.......


these are the three situations. fortunately, now that cny passed, i feel more relaxed and free. but sometimes i feel very bored.

i also used to think that customers are always right. after all, it's customers who pay. it's customers who make your profit. it's customers who make you, or break you.

however, now that i experienced handling some difficult customers, i know that is not totally true.

customers and we are no different. we are all humans. they have the money, i know. they pay my salary, i know. but then, i have gone all out to serve them, smile at them and treat them well.

the truth is, money isn't everything.

no matter wat, i 'll take tat as a challenge.
no matter how the wind howls, the waves strike and the rain pours, i'll dare the storms, storm the challenge and challenge my limit. eventually, i'll win.

this will be a very very invaluable experience for me. thanx to the customers.

yes, at times in life, we should cast our thanks to those who have tortured us before, because that is what makes us a better person.
