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...

Why I change my blog address
To those who first visit my blog, my previous blog address is actually www.qtwhlee.blogspot.com.
Why I change the address? I think that's because the address sounds a bit childish to me, and also to many of you out there.
hmm... the meaning of my new blog address, movingwheel.blogspot.com? Ok, here it goes:
My name can be expressed in the form of W.H. Lee. If you reorganise the name (whlee), it becomes wheel. So, moving wheel means I am always moving and overcoming all the stumbling blocks in life. I think this is much more meaningful than my previous address. hahaha.....

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!

C.O.U.R.A.G.E.
Of late, I found myself always listening to songs in youtube. And when I come across a meaningful song, I always think of sharing it in my blog.
The song embedded above is a TVB drama theme song. The song is named after the drama, Always Ready. If you are a frequent visitor to my blog, you can see that I am a real TVB drama fan. I do watch Korean dramas, and I did feel touched by the romance between the main characters in those love dramas. To name a few, Full House and Autumn in My Heart. But I just prefer TVB ones to Korean ones. This may be attributed to the fact that TVB dramas actually incorporate many other elements besides love and romance in the story, while Korean dramas usually revolve around the theme of love and sacrifices. Or pehaps, there's just this energy called "yuan2" between me and TVB dramas, just the this thing called "yuan2 fen4" between couples.
Oops, looks like I deviated from the topic so much.
Back to the drama. It actually shows how a team of people from GFS display their spirits, determination and courage to rescue people.
You might not be interested in their job. Nonetheless, we should learn their ways of taking life and challenges. Listen to the song and you will realise what it means by courage. It's an inspiring song that overwhelms me with courage and power every time I listen to it. Courage does not merely refer to the ability to speak publicly without stammering through one's speech. It's skin deep to define courage in such a way.
In fact, besides the courage to speak up (which is very important in these days, taking into account that it's a very much needed surviving skills in politicians), courage does mean the determination to take and brave for the challenges ahead, without being afraid of the unknown future.
Courage means the perseverance to keep fighting through our way to success without giving up. Courage means keep going with each and every battles in life, though we may lose in a few of them.
In fact, when we believe, we can succeed without other people's help. The important thing is to show courage in doing whatever we undertake. Strive for our dreams, work towards our goals, with no hesitation.
When we believe, everything is possible, except this thing called "impossibility"
PS: Do not hope for other people's help. We have to work extra hard to succeed. Take it as a challenge to train ourselves. This is the critical point where we can turn adversity into opportunity. Let's not depend on "certain" people (try to get what I mean).
GAMBATEH!

Love is colour blind
Recently, I have fallen in love with an English song. It's love at first sight. It is no doubt that this song is meaningful, and I find it very soulful and nerve-soothing. "Love Is Colour Blind", a song that can really give you the peace of mind and help you relax.
Note: The first video is the original music video for the song, but it is not complete, meaning the video ends in the middle of the music. The second video is not the music video, but it is complete.
Singers:
Sarah Connor, TQ
Lyrics:
[TQ]
yeah!
what's up?
it's TQ and Sarah again
haha, right back at ya
(love is color blind)

(love is color blind)

[Sarah]
it don't matter if you're black (yeah)
white, or yellow, if you're brown or red (it don't matter)
let's get down to that
love is color blind (that's right, give it to em baby)
I remember when
I was a child and couldn't understand
people having fun
discriminating all the different ones
mama just used to say
when you grow up you maybe find a way
to make these people see
that everything I do comes back to me
you gotta live your life
through all the single ones to blame
you gotta live that life
just play the game and let love reign
it don't matter if you're black
white, or yellow, if you're brown or red
let's get down to that
love is color blind
you're my brother, you're my friend
all that matters in the very end (yeah)
it's to understand (yeah)
{come on TQ}
love is color blind (that's right)
[TQ]
I remember as a young boy
I watch my neighborhood go up in flames
I saw the whole thing of tears and pain
and the situation's wack in my brain
I wish I could fly away and never come back again
we need some love ya'll
we need some real dip, help from above ya'll
I mean the kids is watching
and I just can't see ya stop
I don't understand
I mean we all bleed the same blood, man
(you gotta live your life)
better than a father's dead
let's make some love baby
have some kids
(you gotta live that life)
and I don't care what color they are
or you are or we are, it's all love baby!
[Sarah + TQ adlibs]
it don't matter if you're black
white, or yellow, if you're brown or red
let's get down to that
love is color blind
you're my brother, you're my friend
all that matters in the very end
it's to understand
love is color blind
you could have been my mother
you could have been my brother
what if you are my sister
if you are my father
you could have been my feller
you could have been my teacher
but if you are my friend
it would be so nice to meet ya
you could have been my mother
you could have been my brother
what if you are my sister
if you are my father
I could have been your feller
you could have been my teacher
but if you are my friend
it would be so nice to meet ya
[Sarah]
take it out to the world
tell every boy and every little girl
be proud of yourself
cause you're as good as anybody else
put away your prejudice
open your mind don't need to stick to this
try to make this of
a better place without a racial curse(?)
[TQ]
yeah time for some changes ya'll
(na na na na...)
so come on!
put your hands up!
come on!
put your hands up!
come on!
put your hands up!
it don't matter ya'll
we stayin color blind
it don't matter ya'll

yeah, give it to em
[Sarah + TQ adlibs]
it don't matter if you're black
white, or yellow, if you're brown or red

you could have been my mother
you're my brother, you're my friend
all that matters in the very end
it's to understand
love is color blind
color blind, yeah
Instead of saying love is blind, why not we insert one more word in that saying? Make it "love is colour blind". Love knows no boundaries. In this world of vast difference and diversity, it's perhaps a wise option to open up our heart and rid ourselves of stereotype, pride and prejudice. It is only by this way that we could possibly make this world a better place to live in. The species of good, generous and kind souls (me included in it....hahaha) is considered endangered species. But we could do something to preserve and increase its population. Let love triumph over pride and prejudice. Let love conquer and spread to everyone's heart.

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!

Men's best friend
If you are a Hong Kong TVB drama fan, I am pretty sure you have heard of this drama entitled "Men's best friends".
The drama revolves around two dog owners both having a pet dog. After all the stumbling blocks in their way, love sparkles and blossoms between them. And the title of this drama actually means DOGS.
Dogs are men's best friends? I would say dogs are mens' best companions. Dogs never betray us, never cheat us, but they always stay beside us listening to our grumbles and voices. Mad dogs that bite the one who feed them are exceptional in this case.
When we are down and there's no one to lend us a pair of listening ears, we sometimes end up talking to our pet (dogs or cats). As an owner to two dogs, I do this, at times. Our pet occasionally seems to know that we are sad, and more often than not, they come near us, make a cheerful expression and make us smile.
You might not understand this, but it's true at certain time. See these:
I do not mean that we can't find a true friend that stays loyal and honest to us. But then, we are human, the species with the highest intelligence quotient. And this is in fact what makes us more self-centered than any, if not many other species. No matter how loyal our friends are to us, they can't be as loyal as a pet dog. Dogs, though not all, are willing to sacrifice their lives to save us from danger, such as during encounter with thieves or mad people. But how many friends on earth are willing to do so without asking for favour in return? Face the fact! The chance of finding one is virtually ZERO!
Perhaps, the one willing to take the stab for us when someone assaults us, is our spouse and family members. I think I shall treasure my family more than ever,and I am really sorry for quarelling with my parents on the other day then. I was in bad mood and under pressure.
Sorry.......
You might agree that men's best friend/companion is dogs or cats after you see these:
P/S: The pictures are extracted from an incoming email message forwarded to me. That explains why they seem familiar to you.
SMILE!
