ring,ring.... ring,ring

Most teenagers have started owning mobile phones even since primary schools. They are willing to waste their money to buy such sophisticated gadgets. Those spendthrifts can even afford to spend hundreds or thousands on a new model of mobile phones which are just released on the market. They don’t seem to understand the endeavours needed to earn the few hundred ringgit notes. They can even spend money profusely as though money grows on trees and all they need to do is to harvest it whenever they need to buy things. This might due to the fact that they have rich parents and lives in a lavish life. In their mind, a few hundred ringgit as pocket money is only a miniscule amount. Among these rich fellows are my chums: Burnout Racer and Andrew. However, some of these spendthrifts even originate from poor families. They are even willing to play truant just to work part-time to earn money so that they could buy a mobile phone. To them, owning contemporary mobile phones and being up to date with the latest trend are criteria they must garner in order to socialize with and prevent themselves from being ostracized by their peers. Others buy mobile phones because of romance. They want a mobile phone so that they could chat more intimately with their lovers in their room without using the telephone in the living room and revealing their ‘little secret’ to their kin. In my opinion, the latter reason might be acceptable but those who buy mobile phones for the first reason are childish and immature.

Anyway, I of course are among the mature and austere people. In fact, my new mobile phone was given away free by my neighbour. He earns a lucrative profit every month by selling fried ‘kuoy teow’. One day, he dropped his mobile phone out of the blue and damaged it a little. Then, he gave it to my father, and my father repaired it and gave it to me. However, don’t underestimate this mobile phone. It may appear old but in fact its component is powered by the technology of Asashi. Its powerful components include Asashi Hyper Core Duo processor (2.8Ghz), 4GB of ram, Asashi Onboard Mobility Graphic Hyper 9600 and running Windows XP Asashi Mobile Edition. It is so powerful that it is capable running the latest game designed for PC such as Need for Speed Carbon, Battlefield 2142 and so forth with the highest performance settings. Asashi’s Believe It or Not!

Does anyone know what model it is?

Handsome Looking-guy

I have just bought a new spectacle recently. It cost me RM150 rather than the old one which only costed RM60. However, it's worth the price because this one is lighter and it is rust-free as it is made of aluminium. My previous one has brown spots of rusts and there's even green algae growing in between the plastic cover and the metal frame which obtain the essential nutrients and minerals from my sweat.

Before

Discontented with the hideous spectacle.

After

Feeling confident and rejuvenated after wearing a new stylish spectacle.

Crrkk, crrikk, crrokk, CRACKED

How are you, my dear ardent fans? I think I have finally realized that even how life can be pathetic and miserable, life can still be joyful and blissful as well. The problem lies in how well one can handle his or her own predicaments and how well one is mentally prepared to face any imminent agonies in life. Those who can’t usually run away from their problems by doing foolish actions such as suicide, take drugs or succumb to alcoholic liquors to ease their miseries and sorrows. These actions are just temporary relievers and won't help solve the problem. The best remedies in facing these negative feelings are to have an open-mind constantly and embrace those sorrow feelings. Sooner or later, the pain will gradually fade away and he or she will feel much better. Certainly, this immense pain is the pain from breaking up with your loved ones especially when that special person of yours started to date another person than you. Are you wondering that something had happened between Pei Wen and me? Don’t deny it. I know what lurks in your minds now. Yes, it is what majority of you assume. In fact, this happened about a month ago. It took me quite a long time to accept that heart-breaking fact and recover from the pain. It’s not easy to forsake the pain especially when you have liked that person for more than a year. Anyway, I have long foreseen such an incident would happen one day. In fact, I have also decided to just be friends with her before this incident occurred but I didn’t expect the pain to be so excruciating. Ever since the day she expressed her feelings until recently, both of us have never been intimate. Whenever we spoke to each other, it was like meeting a new stranger whom you have never seen before. May be, it was because we expressed our feelings for each other too early. May be, it was because I was too shy. May be, it was because I was not romantic enough. May be, we weren’t meant to be together. May be, she was just flirting with me actually. May be this is called blind love. She has always been complaining that I have always been shy and not doing much as a “special person” such as asking her out for a date, accompany her in class, chat with her, call her and etc. In class, I would often chat with the boys and she would chat with the girls. We seldom sit together and chat because there is nothing to chat about. One day, our head prefect had fallen in love with Pei Wen and decided to go for it. He always chatted with her, help her with her St.John’s work, buy her chocolates, cards and etc, and he even cooked spaghetti specially for her. So, finally she decided to be with him. At first, I was really depressed when I knew this fact. It was really heart-breaking and I don’t have the mood to do anything. Whenever I saw them together, jealousy would totally engross me and the pain was indescribable by words. After a certain period, I started to think positively as I knew this feeling must not continue any more because it would affect my life and study. I seek help and advice from some of my closest friends Lychee and etc. I shared with him my sorrows and negative feelings. I told him how I really felt and I felt much better after that. I realized that even if she had not dated someone else, we would break up eventually. Now, I’m glad that she finally found a person who can spend more time and appreciate her more than me. The most important thing is that she is happy and hopefully that guy would treat Pei Wen well. Even though both of us are just friends, I would still continue to have feelings for her. It's not easy to lose the feelings I have for her since Form 1. As an ending, I would like to thank Lychee. One more advice for Burnout Racer, don’t criticise so much on love during high school because you will experience that yourself one day when you found that special girl in life unless you are sterile or a neuter.

Discipline in Dire Jeopardy

For those who are studying in Taman Kosas Secondary School, you will definitely understand how terrible the students’ discipline is especially if you are a prefect. This is a common image and perspective on how the society thinks when they heard the name S.M.K.T.K. I do not mean to oppose and protest their thoughts because ironically, I think the same way as well. However, my foul and harsh image of my school doesn’t end there. May be you will have an opinion that the image and prestige of the school was only tarnished because of the students’ incorrigible bad behaviour and satanic attitude. Actually, you are only half correct. The members of the disciplinary board may not be as innocent and well-mannered as you think. They are not that responsible as well. All those smart looking prefects wearing blue shirts, ties, long pants and polished black leather shoes are just a good impression for the visitors from outsiders and the disciplinary teacher to look. The reason they do this is because they want to look cool and smart in front of their friends. All those actions of shouting, ordering, catching students and running about throughout the school often do not last long. There actions are only a good impression intended for a promotion or a temporary zest when they were just been elected as a prefect. After a certain time, these zests will ware off and in return, they will start to feel bored and ignore their duties as well as their responsibilities. They tend to run away from any duty which requires their service and pretend to be unaware of the students’ disciplinary problems. This can be proven by the incident that pissed me off. In fact, it even ruined my mood to give the complementing and thankful speech for the prefects for the gathering which will be held the next day. I was ashamed of our disciplinary board. Those who are elected as prefects should have an outstanding quality in their attitude and have a matured mind as well. Those imbeciles should not be invited to the gathering because they do not deserve the appreciation. Let me tell you about the incident that pissed me off. Last Friday, when recess had ended for about 10 minutes, there were a still a group scumbags who are still loitering and chatting in the canteen. Ironically, there are more than a dozen of prefects in the canteen including the prefects’ Form 5 AJKs who are supposed to assist and usher the first move to order those scumbags to return to their respective classes. Feeling odd, I asked my group leader what to do with those scumbags. He replied me with such a sarcastic manner that I was so shocked. He said that I don’t need to care them since I am outnumbered by those 5 scumbags. He told me to let them do whatever they want. How preposterous and outrageous was that!!! Is he blind or damn stupid!!! Has he forgotten that our school has rules and regulations that everyone is obliged to follow without any exceptions!!! If anyone can break the rules just because they are in a group of many people, what are the rules for anyway? What is the use of electing more than 70 prefects if we are still outnumbered and powerless against just a group of 5 scumbags? With a little anger and dissatisfied with the answer I got, I asked our head of discipline about the same thing too. When I asked him that, he also said that I don’t need to care about them. At the same time, he was chatting with his friends who are also normal students. Finally, I gave up asking those fools and went to order those scumbags myself. As predicted, they refused to listen and resist my orders. They even said that even the discipline teachers do not care, why should I care and it is their wish if they do not want to enter the class (suka hati aku la, mampus kau la). They dared to say that because both our disciplinary teacher are on leave. Feeling really angry with that I raised my voice and repeated my order again and said that recess had long ended and it is outrageous for them to not enter their class. However, those errant scumbags were still reluctant to listen to my orders. One of them even went to my back quietly and hit me on the back of my head. Finally, our head-of-discipline came to help. Don’t misunderstand because the aid was not for me but for his scumbag friends. He just told me to leave to prevent any fight. The other dozen of prefects just looked at the show and continued eating their nasi lemak!!!!! Their response towards that incident as if nothing had happened made me angrier. This kind of incident happens everyday. Every time recess is over, only a few of my friends and I will do the job of ordering the students to go back the class while the others will start to enjoy their meal. It is as though there were no prefects who are on duty in the canteen because rubbish and plates were everywhere. Unfortunately, the absence of our disciplinary teacher enabled those scumbags to escape without any punishments. Is this the attitude of a prefect should have? Was the election of more than 70 prefects a waste? If they are not willing to take up the responsibilty, they should just resign instead of burdening the disciplinary board. Those errant scumbags are not afraid of breaking the rules because majority of the prefects are cowards who were not even brave enough to look at them. Consequently, the scumbags think that they are the emperors of the world in our school.

Criticism

Thick and thin galore for me this year. It was certainly tough to live in such a stressful year. There are always problems that trouble me everyday. Most of the problems come from our education system which is a crap full of nonsense. However, there are still people thinking that our education system is of distinguished quality and has the same standard as those developed countries. Well, let me tell you something. Snap out your wonderful dream. This is Malaysia which still practices races discrimination. Don’t believe everything that you see or hear in the television, radio, newspaper and internet. Those dialogues are probably made up by someone in the government just to gain trust and votes from the citizens. In reality, the “pigs” still haven’t fully acknowledged other races such as Chinese and Indians as their as equal standards with the Malays. Some of them still think that they are the eligible owner of this country because they are the first race to explore this country. These are the “pigs” in our society. Don’t misunderstand my statement. I meant only those who still have this foolish and outrageous way of thinking. Unfortunately for us, some of them are the people in charge of handling our country. Do you know why I said that? Let us start with a few examples of the subjects our students are studying now. HHmmm, moral will be a good example. It was easy when during primary level because all we needed was our logical thinking. However, this aggravated when we entered secondary school. We have to memorise all the moral values and each of those meanings according to their actual names and words. Even one small mistake such as Mengekalkan Tradisi Kekeluargaan is written as Mengekalkan Tradisi Keluarga, the whole answer will be considered wrong. No marks will be given even if you wrote the correct meaning or explanations. Based on your logical thinking, aren’t both of them similar? Another subject which I hate most is History. It is very obvious that the education ministry is trying to help the Muslims to get better results than the non-Muslims. We have 4 chapters regarding about Islam while other religions only have minor notes in the syllabus. Of course the Muslims will excel in these chapters as they are educated with these since childhood. It is of no use for us to study their history. Why don’t the Singaporeans to study these? They will criticize and condemn the government so badly that they will have to change the education minister. Our education ministry should take advanced countries such as British, America and Singapore as an example. Why don’t Hishammuddin come and try to take the test himself. I doubt he will even achieve a ‘B’ in his test.

An Unforgetable Birthday

Do you know what day is today? It is my birthday. In fact, to day is one of the most special birthdays I have ever had. This is because Pei Wen remembered my birthday and she even gave me a present. It was a replica of a ship which can conduct music (Fur Elise from Beethoven) when you turn its steering. It was well-wrapped with a small card attaching to it. She also sent me an e-card using birthdayalarm. Today, I am once again in cloud 9.

No Money, No Talk

Throughout my life, I shall encounter many new experiences that will train me to be more mature. What a coincident as well! Something happened today too. My dad has made a whole new revolution that changed his career. It’s a new beginning towards the competitive business world for him. Therefore, let us give a big applause for my dad for he is now officially a businessman. Next time, you will see his company listed in the stock market. A few years later, he will be listed as the world’s top 10 of the richest man. Then, everyone including the sultans shall bow before us and thou shall heed our commands. MMWWAAAAHAHAHAHAA!!!! OK, OK, may be I exaggerated a little or a lot. It started a month ago when a new neighbour decide to sell fried kuay teows at night markets for a living. Another of our neighbour also started doing the same thing and they made an enormous profit every month. Before I continue, I wish to give all of you an advice. Don’t judge a book by its cover. You might imagine someone living in a small flat as poverty-stricken but actually they are extremely rich. My closest neighbour sells ais kacang at a food court and now he drives a Mercedes and a Pajero!!! The one selling fried kuay teow also owns two cars. He also has a Mercedes and a Honda Civic while my father only drives a second-hand Proton Saga which was about 10 years old. Envying of their luxuries lives, he decided to follow their footsteps but in a slightly different way. They sell foods while my dad sells traditional herbal beverages which consist of Chrysanthemum tea and “Lo Hon Ko”. In order to cope with the youngsters taste nowadays, he also bought a few cartons of different soft drinks such as 100 Plus, Pepsi and Mirinda. He opens his stall at various night markets everyday excluding Tuesday. He will have to wake up early in the morning to prepare all the beverages before 3 o’clock in the afternoon. I shall have to help him out with the housework too such as mopping the floor, wiping the windows, fans, and other household items, cleaning the dishes, drying the clothes, warming up the meals, boiling the water and helping him to prepare the beverages.

Our school also organized a Carnival Day to raise funds to allocate money for the welfare of the school as well as the students. Those money will be used completely to improve the quality and the service of the education system by upgrading the building, repairing the toilet, and replacing the damaged fluorescent tubes and the ceiling fans. These are the promises made by the Teachers and Parents Committee but as most of you know it, promises will always be kept as promises. After a few days, weeks or months, may be at least 50% of the money will suddenly vanish into thin air or kept in the account until a massive dust accumulated on it. Later on, they will say that the school doesn’t have enough money and will just keep on postponing any projects that need a lot of money. Every class had been given an order to establish a plan to raise money either by selling stuffs or organizing an interesting and exhilarating activity to attract visitors not only from our school but outsiders as well. In order to motivate us to perform better, the school offered attractive hampers for the class which made the most profit and bought the most coupons. In collaboration with the Carnival Day, we divided our class into three groups. One will make a ghost house; the other will sell food while the last one will sell beverages. Lychee, Goat, Durian and I chose to sell beverages because it is the easiest task of all the choices. As usual, we elected Durian as the leader because of his leadership and wisdom. We decided to sell lychee flavoured drinks, syrup and soft drinks. The ghost house was the most troublesome activity but the most profitable one. It does not require any capital but only a humongous effort and energy are needed to make the preparations. It was not that difficult until that idiot Cikgu Mustapha forbid us to use the new tables which were in the class and told us to use the old plastic tables and wooden tables from the classes above. We have to painstakingly move 300+ tables from the top floor to our ghost house at the ground floor. Then, we have to use newspapers and cardboards to cover up the entire light source in the class. It was damn tiring. It would be much easier if he would let us use the new tables. When the day arrived, we came at 7.15a.m to set up our stall. Business was quite good as we were out of cups before the day even reached noon. We also have to restock using our own money when our soft drinks almost went out of stock. Most of the customers preferred Pepsi. It was estimated that we sold at least 6 bottles of 1.5 litres of Pepsi. However, the profits that we made can’t be compared to the ghost house as their queuing up customers was as long as an army of ants. I think they made a net profit of at least RM500 and above while we just made around RM50 and above. That was 10 times our amount. We closed our stall at 12.45p.m and started helping Madam Lim to clean the mess made by the scumbags and imbeciles who don’t seemed to understand what the use of rubbish bin and hygiene is. They are either pig-brained, deaf, or stupid since they can’t hear or understand the repeated announcement “Jangan membuang sampah merata-rata, sila buang samaph di dalam tong sampah yang disediakan” and still litter everywhere. We spent 3 hours sweeping the floor, picking up rubbish, transferring the rubbish in the rubbish bins into polystyrene bags and throwing them into the MPAJ dumpsite. It was so backbreaking that we didn’t even have the energy to walk after we have done our jobs. The good thing was we got a RM5.00 coupon each and a RM5.00 note from the school as a reward for our contributions for the school. The carnival ended at 4.00p.m. Everyone packed their things and went home except for our ghost house. It was impossible for us to clean the place and put back the 300+ tables as we were fatigued after 8 hours of work. So, we just leave it there and went home. I was quite disappointed too as I didn’t have the chance to chat with Pei Wen. To tell you the truth, I was imagining of taking the opportunity to hold her hand if we have the chance to go into the ghost house as it was completely dark and scary inside. ~Sigh~, what a waste!!! It seems that I will have to wait for the next opportunity to hold her hands.

A Wonderful Day

Well, well. Today is a special day indeed. For your information, this post is specially written for two special persons in my life. Do you know what day it is? Let me give you a hint. Today, there are two special occasions that collaborates. Ai ya, still can’t figure it out? Ok, I’ll spill the beans out. It’s Father’s Day and those who do not know that are imbeciles and ungrateful children. Apart from that is Pei Wen’s birthday. I called her this morning to wish her Happy Birthday and chat for a while. She said that she like my present too. Hooray!!! Yeepee!!! Yahooooo!!! Now, I would like to wish my dad Happy Father’s Day and Happy Birthday to Pei Wen. I hope that they would feel happy all the time.

I love my holidays!!!

The sweet holidays will soon end. Many delightful and happy things had happened during the past two weeks which I will miss when school reopens. ~Sigh~. When school reopens, misery, pain, sufferings, torments, dismay, despair and horror will once again rise from the scourges of the school. Only the sacred and holy Asashi can remedy and retain the destructive effects of those scourges by bringing joy, laughter, happiness, entertainment and unity to us. Unfortunately, we will be forced to receive scrolls of misery (our test paper la) which will bring sadness and despair to every students in the school. Those who seek education in Malaysia listen to me and heed my advice. Let us unite together and put an end to this horrible system of education. Join us at MPASA (Malaysia’s People Anti School Army) and together we retaliate and rebel against the scourge, and obliterate them!!!

OK, OK. Lets change the topic to something more happy and joyful ok, shall we? We’ll start with my romance. Don’t be shocked, this is normal for teenagers to fall in love and like the opposite sex. First, it happened on Saturday when I finally took up the courage to call Pei Wen when my dad went to the market to buy groceries. Unfortunately, the call lasted only about 15 minutes as my dad had returned not long after the call. We didn’t get to chat much. The second time was during Wednesday when my dad went fishing. I broke my record of chatting with her via telephone when I chatted with her for almost 1 hour. This time I felt that I have treated her badly for I have never called her before because of shyness and fear of the price of the telephone bill yet she had called me about 4 to 5 times to chat with me last year. I never had the courage to ask her out on a date too last year. Briefly speaking, I seldom had a good long chat with her before. During the recent exam, I didn’t chat with her at all because I did not want to disturb her studies. She was really angry with me since that onwards and told my friend that she would not like me again if we split up one day. Well, to be honest, I was really afraid and nervous when my friend told me that. So, I think I should do whatever I can to redeem whatever mistakes that I have done to hurt her. During this recent holiday, I didn’t have the chance to ask her out because of a few reasons. First was the fact that one of our teachers in the tuition centre had to take her diploma and would be absent for 10 days. So, Jian Shi and I were ordered to replace her for 10 days. The second factor was the fact that there was a book fair at the KL Conventional Centre which I did not know until she told me about it. Besides that was the fact that the book fair mostly contained Chinese books and that’s another disadvantage for me who do not know Chinese. The third was the fact that I do not where to ask her out to since there weren’t many movies to be seen now. I’m afraid that she would be bored of places such as Times Square again. I also haven’t told her about the present that I bought for her. I still hesitate on when, where and how to give her the present. I’m still wary about whether she would like the present or not. I intend to give the present to her during her birthday which is on the 18th of June. I think I really like her this time and I do hope that she would be my girlfriend and I could hold hands with her soon.

Apart from romance, there was another thing that made me happy. It was the time when I bought my first MP3 at last Thursday at Low Yat. I have been aspiring for an MP3 player since last year since it would come in handy to remedy my boredom if I go to somewhere. So, I went to Low Yat with Durian and Goat to buy Yu-Gi-Oh cards and an MP3 at the same time. Well, first we went to the Esquire Kitchen to have our lunch. It was my first experience of eating there since the foods were expensive. One bowl of Braised Pork Noodles cost me around RM8 including the service charge and the government tax. Before that, I thought that Esquire Kitchen was a Korean restaurant. Later we went to the card shop. Just as we entered, our eyes stick on the board stating that one packet of cards containing 5 cards that were wrapped in a transparent plastic cost only RM3. At first, we thought that those were lousy cards that people have no interest in and couldn’t be sold out. Later, we discovered that some of them are actually cards in English versions that are damn useful. Some of the cards that I bought which were useful were as follows:

a.)Legendary Sea Ocean
b.)Gagagigo
c.)Sakuretsu Armour
d.)Wave Motion Cannon
e.)Winged Minion
f.)Minor Goblin Official
g.)Twin Swords of Flashing Light
h.)Arsenal Bug
i.)Dark Dust Spirit

j.)Legendary Fisherman (bought from Liew Hui)

These are the cards that I bought.

On the left is Neo Daidaros which is my pirated version, you can determine by looking at the sticker below the lower right of the card while on the right is my Legendary Fisherman.

I was also amazed and astonished by the beauty of my strongest monster card in my water-type deck, “Sea Dragon King-Neo Daidaros”: Ultimate Rare, selling at RM20. If only I brought a little more money!!! After admiring the beauty of the genuine Neo Daidaros and comparing it with my pirated version of Neo Daidaros, I have set my next target of shopping which will be a whole new genuine water-type deck selling at stores at RM70 which will include all sorts of rare water cards such as Levia-Dragon-Daedalus, Sea Dragon King-Neo Daidaros, Mobius The Frost Monarch, Torrential Tribute and many more. Next, we went to buy some games and software. I bought a new Mcafee Security disc which includes every latest security software that Mcafee offer and Hitman Blood Money. The antivirus ran smoothly on my PC but the stupid Hitman Blood Money can’t be read by my DVD rom. How am I going to go Sungai Wang to exchange a new one? After that, we went to our last spot of the day, Low Yat. We strolled for an hour at that place just to find an MP3 player which was good but cheap. Most of the good ones were which was around RM230 slightly higher than my budget of RM200 while the China branded types were only RM100+ even for a 512MB. If only I brought a little more money, I could have bought a nicer one such as Samsung or Creative TX FM instead of the plain and dull-looking 256 MB Creative Muvo Slim which comes only in silver colour which I bought for RM180.
vs
Indisputably, the graphic performance that the PC platform currently features is far more better than the conventional video game platforms such as PS2, X Box, Game Cube and Game Boy. Those astounding graphics were actually generated by one of the hardware in the platforms which is normally known as graphic cards. The latest video game platforms were powered by graphic cards from two competitive companies. Sony Playstation 3 will be powered by the latest Nvidia Geforce 7900 from Nvidia while Microsoft X Box 360 is powered by ATI X-1900 from ATI. Both offer the most powerful engine to generate the most demanding and realistic 3-D graphics for enthusiastic gamers. Currently in the PC platform, the most powerful graphic cards were the 7 series from Nvidia and the X-1000 series from ATI. These amazing products are highly-priced that anyone who wishes to own one of these monstrous products must have at least an expense of RM600 or above. Anyone who has these products on their machines are damn rich and lucky bastards such as my friend, Goat. During form 2, he owns a Nvidia Geforce FX5500 which was a good graphic card back then. Later on, I counter back when I bought my super powerful Asashi PC, powered by an ATI Radeon 9600SE which was the lousiest card in the 9600 family but slightly better than his Geforce FX5500 when tested using the 3-D Benchmark 2005. I got a score of 480 while his only got 200. After I installed the latest driver a year later, my scored boosted to a score of 980. He envied my Asashi and bought a new high-end Nvidia Geforce 6600 a year later which scored 1400. This year, he changed into a more powerful Nvidia Geforce 7600GT. You can say that the card is 10 times more powerful than my old ATI Radeon 9600SE. His 7600GT supports the latest pixel shader 3.0 while mine supports the predecessor pixel shader 2.0. It’s the core speed of 400+ mhz and a memory clock speed of 1000+ mhz while mine only has a core speed of 324 mhz and a memory clock speed of 179 mhz. How can this be? My Asashi was defeated by an unbranded rojak PC. Never mind, because I shall avenge my Asashi buy upgrading it to an unbeatable state even by those rotten Dell, Acer, and HP.

Reincarnation

Hello my fellow readers. As a start, I would like to announce that my Asashi has just been reincarnated again. The story starts like this. About three weeks ago which was during my exam, I was playing Counter Strike Condition Zero II to release the tension and stress of studying hard for the exam. At that time, I was on rampage. I myself as a counter terrorist kept on throwing hand grenades at any terrorist that I met and blasted them into smithereens using my sub machinegun . After playing for a period of half-an hour, there was a foul smell which resembled the smell of something that was scorched. I felt weird as I thought that the game can’t be that realistic that even the smoke inside the screen could even be smelled. Little that I know was that my PC was actually having a “heart attack”. Something was wrong with its heart (power supply), causing it to be unable to distribute blood (electric current) to the other parts of its body (hardware). Not long after that, its heart stopped functioning and it went unconscious (no more electricity). I tried giving it CPR (pushing the power button a lot of times) after letting it cool down but to no avail. It was so weak that only flashes of light can be seen when I pushed the power button. I have foreseen and expected something like this would happen one day because it has been showing symptoms of a heart failure weeks before that incident. For example, the power would suddenly turn off when I’m playing a game and I need to wait for a few minutes for it to cool down before able to turn it back on again. After the examinations were over, I sent my PC to the best PC hospital in the world, Asashi Sdn.Bhd for it to undergo a heart transplant (change the power supply). I was impressed at Asashi’s service as it diagnosed and recuperated my PC in just 5 days. Stone said that his Acer need one week. Ceeehhh, what a lousy service!!! It only cost me RM55 after a discounted price of RM10.

OK, let’s stop admiring the incredible and formidable power of Asashi. Recently, there was a “Single Mother Charity fund” organized by the Wanita MCA association to raise funds and aid widows who are sustaining the cost of living of their family by themselves. It was held at the Kao Ong Yeh Temple from 9.00am until 1.00pm. I with some other classmates from my tuition centre was selected by Mr.Ong to become volunteers at the fair. According to Mr.Ong, he was helping a friend who is a MCA member. He forced most of his students to buy or help him sell at least one book of coupon which cost RM10.00 each. Those who studied in An Xing during primary school days were unfortunate because Mr.Ong forced them to buy or sell 5 books of coupons. He exclaimed that the funds would also be used to help An Xing as well. LIES, LIES, THESE ARE ALL LIES!!! The funds are clearly stated for single mothers only. He forced me to buy one when I can’t sell it out. There goes my hard earned RM10.00. Frankly speaking, I didn't mind at all because it was for charity to help those needy people. Well, we went to help put at 8.00am at Sunday. When we arrived at there, we were given a yellow MCA T-shirt. After changing into our new T-shirt, we were told the stall number that we need to go to. Jian Shi and I were told to look after stall 23 which sold Muruku and coconut candy. Our business was a failure, do you know why? One packet of Muruku cost RM5.00 while a small container of coconut candy cost RM10.00. Most people did not even dare to taste the samples that we offered after hearing the price. Most of them were scared away by the unreasonable price. We only managed to sell 6 packets of Murukus and 3 containers of coconut candies to Jian Shi’s relatives who visited our stall. In fact, I think they will regret buying the Murukus because it tasted so disgusting . The only flavour you can taste is the flavour of the flour and the oil used in making the murukus. It was tasteless and the Indian woman told us to sell it for RM5.00. She proclaimed that that was the price at the market and it was considered quite cheap and reasonable. I think I better buy a packet of Mamee which cost only 20 cent. Later, I was transferred to another stall which sold chocolates, pineapple tarts, chocolate almond cookies, ginseng, banana butter cakes, jellies with a small doll on it and red wines which were from Perfect Formula (a shop specially for teaching baking techniques). At there, the business was even worse as we only sold one box of banana butter cake and a bottle of red wine. As usual, they were scared away by the unreasonable high price. A small box of chocolate, pineapple tart, and chocolate almond cookies cost RM20.00 each while the cake cost RM30.00!!! Many visitors preferred to go to the char kuay teow, yong tao foo, ais kacang, ding dang sweets, chicken rice and chu cheong fun stalls as the food were cheaper and tasted better. Other than food, there were also other stalls that sold toys, stationeries, handbags, perfumes, R.O. exercise books and games that offered prizes for winners. There was also a stage where people gave boring speeches, sang and danced. There were a group which consist of 4 children and a group of old women sang and dance. Both performed very well. At around 1.00pm, we were served with free food. First was the Briyani Rice with chicken curry, next was the chicken rice, then was the cendol and last of all the chu cheong fun. We were also given coupons to take some free presents as our rewards. I took a pencil box with a spoon and a pair of chopsticks inside. Before we head home, we were served with the leftovers from the soy milk and fruit pudding that were unable to sell out. I managed to buy a cute Mashimaro doll for Pei Wen. I just felt an urge to buy a present for her as I have never done so all this years. I hope she would like the present I bought for her. I just assumed that girls like cute dolls. I’m afraid that she would think the present as something very disturbing. She is my

About my exam, I have no comments.

The Marching Competition

@#$%&!!! I apologize for such a foul and harsh introduction. I can’t help it because I was frustrated, disappointed, angry and sad due to the marching competition (peringkat daerah Hulu Langat) that I entered yesterday. We have undergone an intense and tough training for a month and I have sacrificed all my tuition classes just for that. Even so, we still lost at the match. There are three main factors that caused us to lose the competition. First were the latest formats of marching. We did not abide by the new formats given. Moreover, we were not given a clear explanation on the new formats. We only realized it when we arrived at the competition site at Maktab Penjara Kajang. In the beginning, we thought that some of the schools did not follow the new formats because they did not have adequate time to practice it. Later, we found that all schools are doing the same thing except us. NO!!!!!!!!!!! I told myself “This can’t be true!!! There must be a mistake. It has to be a prank made by someone”. Actually, I was just lying to myself. According to the new formats, we have to stich an extra KRS badge on our left sleeve and learn a new march which is actually the fusion of buka barisan and perlahan jalan together which we didn’t have. Apart from that, was the formation that we made was not good enough to impress the judge. This was due to the pain of our legs from the 50 ketuk-ketampi our bekas commander asked us to do two days before the competition but luckily we managed to were able to force ourselves to withstand the pain but still, that wasn’t enough. We weren’t able to stamp the ground in an orderly manner and at a 90 degrees angle. Stupid commander!!! As a result, we lost more than 25 marks. I was so disappointed after all the hard work and sacrifices I made for the team. Still, the thing that made me really angry and depressed was the fact that our school’s scout team was the runner up for the category B (Non Government Organisation) but we didn’t achieve anything for our category C (Kadet Remaja Sekolah). We were so ashamed of ourselves. This was the second time this kind of situation happened. The last time we won was during 2004 when I was in Form 2 and Azidzul was our commander. He was a stern and diligent commander unlike our new commander, Erfan who is not serious at all and always jokes around during foot drill. The scouts won because they are much disciplined and devoted themselves to marching unlike the some of the pigs in KRS. As usual, most of the awards were won by SMK Abdul Jalil. I wish that we could be just like them. I wonder what were their secrets of victory. Next year I am going to take my SPM exam! How am I going to kawad. Yet, I still want another medal before I graduate from secondary school. It would be my last sweet memories as a teenager.

OK, lets stop thinking about the negative side and think the positive side instead. Well, it was a wonderful experience to be there. We saw a lot of teams from different schools compete in the competition. There were many teams with different styles of kawad. Some are slow and neat, some are fast and furious, some are blur and hopeless while others are just indescribable. As usual many participants were unconscious especially Malay girls who wore tudungs during kawad. It must be either heat stroke or dehydration from all the sweating and terrible heat. Eiihhh, we kawad in the middle of the hot sun le and it was in the afternoon, what u expext!!! Those obligations of having the girls wearing tudungs and long sleeves just to cover their arms and hairs are just ridiculous. No wonder they became unconscious and collapsed just like that. Beneath their uniforms must be like a chicken roasting in a microwave oven. (Sorry for this sensitive issue but it is the fact you must accept) It’s so damn hot even for us who guys didn’t have to wear tudung and long sleeves during kawad.

Anyway, there was still one last thing. It was the photography session. I was not included for the photography session for KRS even though I was the co-president of the team. I was not informed to wear my uniform by anyone. Therefore, I and another Form 3 AJK were the only one who missed out the photography session. How can this happened to me!!!

An Excursion to KLCC

Guess where did I go on the March 23, 2006? KLCC!!!!!!! Our school was one of the chosen one to take part in a science programme called “Can Technology Save the World (E-mission Impossible). It was mainly about the effects of using bio fuels, advantages of using other alternate energy source and conservation of energy. As for the title of the programme, I totally agree with the title of the programme (E-mission Impossible). Even though alternate energy sources which are environmental friendly, man will still need to crave on natural resources such as woods and minerals (gold, silver, coal, tin, and etc) in the production industry. The best thing of going there was the accommodation fee was free of charge. Still, there was the negative side of it. We were told to arrive at there at 9.00a.m but the damned programme was scheduled to begin at 11.00a.m. When we arrived at there, we were astonished by the number of students that attended the programme. It seemed that schools from all over Malaysia came for the programme. Students from the well-known schools for their academic results such as MARA, Sekolah Teknik and Seri Bintang Utara wore special attires to there. They wore coats, VIP shirts and etc. Those were expensive uniforms that have to be specially made. Most of us think that the government is just wasting our money with those stupid uniforms and those schools are just trying to “chuan” us. Since we had nothing to do, we took some of the free magazines distributed by some “mat salleh” at the entrance and read them while waiting for the programme to start. Of course, I took the entertainment magazine. Things changed when Goat and I discovered that there was a LEGO demonstration near the entrance. When I said LEGO, I didn’t mean ordinary brick LEGO but instead, I meant mechanical LEGOs which were programmed and had motors which enabled them to move. We were impressed and astonished by those computerised LEGOs especially the one which could climb . Goat said that he wanted to steal the motors but only words came out but no action. Those LEGOs were designed by students from universities. At that time, we realized that how out-dated our school was when we were shown a video clip about schools which were given the sophisticated gadgets by the government which took part in a LEGO design competition. After waiting for 2 hours, we were finally told to enter the hall. We were really fortunate when we were asked to sit in front. The programme started off with the speech giving ceremony by the minster of Dato something-something and the two representatives of the British Council. Things turned out a disaster when the Dato something-something gave his speech. His English was so devastating that we can’t understand a word he is saying. Even the British Council ignored him and did their work instead of listening to him talking nonsense. On the other hand, we were astonished with the English which the representatives of the British Council spoke when they were on stage. The English they used were so perfect like musical melodies to our ears. After that, was the main event which all of us had been waiting for. There were two white people (orang putih) explaining the phenomenon that were on the large LCD screen in front of us. They showed many interesting experiments and videos on the energies. The most interesting part of all was the video featuring a hip-hop guy from Linkin Park (I guess) introduced his house which were super energy saving but the funny thing was that the language his used. He used a lot of “hey, babeh, look at my tap bla-bla-bla, yo babeh and bla-bla-bla. After the show, we went cards and dessert chopping. Before going to KLCC, I have prepared myself for all the exquisite desserts there. For the first time in my life, I tasted the imported rum raisins chocolate from Belgium and the delicious Haagen-Dazs ice-cream. That piece of chocolate which was almost the size of a kit-kat cost me RM7.90 while two scoops of ice cream cost me RM18.00. Still, if you really went and tasted it, you will definitely think that it is worthy paying for it. Unfortunately, I can’t get my hands on any rare yu-gi-oh cards.

These are the only cards I think is useful:

Effect: Discard one spell card from your hand and destroy one trap or spell card on the field

Effect: Discard one angel type monster from your hand

and destroy one monster on the field

Effect: Remove every card that goes into both players' graveyard out of game when this card is activated. (Effective against an Exodia deck)Just like the "Banisher of Light".

A Dreadful Life

I am quite confused with many things nowadays. I can’t really make a decision without thinking twice. There are many things that lurks in my mind which I don’t really sure how to decide. Love, study and work.........., the burdens and joys of life. Anyway, do you still remember the last time when I mentioned that I want to stop thinking of Pei Wen? Well, I think I’ll change my mind. A good bond of relationship is something that I have to put a lot of sincerity and effort to pursue instead of waiting for destiny to achieve it. On the every Wednesday, students who are taking science stream can only go back at 1.50 p.m. Coincidently, Pei Wen and I were waiting for our fathers to come and pick us since our teacher end the lesson at 1.45 p.m. As we were waiting, I went to her and finally, we do chat a little for 15 minutes before her father arrived. At that time, I was in cloud nine. I haven’t felt the joy of chatting with her for such a long time. When her father arrived, she invited me to use her accommodation together since my father didn’t come to pick me. However, I rejected her invitation since it was not a good scene for his father if he saw me with her chatting alone. When I was about to walk home, I heard a sudden ‘pon’ sound. It was his father asking me to get into the car. I was quite shocked and went into the car. It was one of the most unique memories which I will never forget. After that day, we started to talk a little. From her eyes, I guessed that we might still have a little spark in between us. Today, she has a rehearsal for the marching performance for the Award Day that will be held next Sunday. She cut her hair with a flat curve at her forehead and wore her complete St. John uniform to school. She looked really cute and pretty in that outfit with her new hairstyle.

For those who have gone through the days of Form 4, you will understand my sufferings and pains that I am going through now. I’m struggling very hard to cope with the stress and the long syllabuses of Form 4. For instance, there are 60+ pages to read for History and that only include chapter 1 and 2. It took me 1 hour to read 10 pages. After that horrible hour, my head started to ache which disabled my ability to absorb anymore knowledge. So, I just closed that hideous revision book, switched on my PC and played for an hour before starting my revision on Add Maths. The next day, I went to Lychee’s house to do our revision together. We started revising History at 8.40 a.m. and asked each other questions on the topics which we have read. It was a good revision as we can remind ourselves on the topics that we have read and revise the topics which we have missed out. We revised consecutively even though we are reluctant to read History. Eventually, we got bored and decided to revise Physics instead. Still, it was not easy as well. The formulae were confusing and long. In the end, we gave up and played Yu-Gi-Oh cards at 11.45a.m while waiting for my dad to fetch me. At that time, we were overcome by despair and boredom.

Days after that, we had our exam. It was a dreadful day as most of us didn’t do well in our exam especially physics, biology and add maths. There were too many things to read and too many knowledge to be absorbed. Besides that, lack of practise also caused me to fail my physics. I was fooled by the questions in subjective. I thought the first chapter for physic is mainly about the definition of physic theories but the question asked me about a weird experiment and the calculation of gradient and I got everything wrong. It was really a trap for students like me. I was also furious with add maths. I shouldn’t have spent the whole time thinking how to solve question no.4 but use the time wisely to check my answers instead. If I did so, I would get an A for my add maths. Another subject that made me felt frustrated and despair was biology. I thought I can get an A for my biology since I have spent a lot of time reading the textbook. I read every page for chapter 1 and 2 and spent such a long time to visualise the cells and its functions but in the end, to my surprise, teacher used questions from a revision book which was not in the textbook or even in the syllabus. In the textbook, only the unicellular organism, ‘Amoeba’ are stated but in the revision book, there is one extra note about paramecium!!! This really confused me. Besides that, I would like to ask all of you. What the hell is schematic diagram??? It was not stated anywhere in the textbook nor in the revision book. I lost approximately 6 marks (haven’t multiplied it with the marking scheme yet) at the part where it ask us to draw a schematic diagram on how the body systems regulate the blood osmotic pressure!!!! What a catastrophe for me. It was really a disastrous exam. My record of never failing in an exam before will be broken!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!

Feng Shui of Year 2006

According to my prediction, 2006 and 2007 are one of the worst years in my life while 2003 until 2005 was one of the best years I’ve ever had. It was like in paradise during that past few years. I can rest and play games and still can get moderate results in my exam. If only I can turn back time. This year is full of frustrations and peer pressures as I have to work part time as a tutor and study form 4 syllabus at the same time. The government has been torturing us all these years by adding useless subjects in our syllabus. Among the subjects is Moral. What is the use for us to study that? Moral can’t be learned through theory but it can only be learned if it is cultivated since childhood by their parents. Once a person reaches the adolescence years, it would be hard to save them if they plunge into the world of darkness. One cannot learn any moral values by just opening the text book and memories the names and meanings of its contents. If that is effective, we would not have “pigs” and “dogs” in our society. The peoples of today would be well-mannered and social problems as well as crime incidents wouldn’t have existed. This is the same as history. What can we learn by studying the past? Is there really a need for us to know the ways livings of the ancient civilizations? Can it inspire us to improve our lifestyles or help us get richer? OK, I admit that the history of the world wars can prevent another by letting the people know the negative effects of war. One of it is World War 2 which had bombarded the whole Nagasaki and Hiroshima into oblivion. Still, what about the rest such as the History of Islam and the civilization of Yunani? This is preposterous!!!! As Chinese, we were taught to let go of the past and move forward but they are the opposite by letting go of the future and move backwards. Can’t they just let bygones be bygones? Things don’t end there when I can’t quit my job this year. I told Mr.Ong about my studies and I don’t have any time to spare for revision and leisure. He told me that is just a matter of adjusting my time. If that’s the problem, I wouldn’t have complained. Sometimes I have to do my homework until 12a.m. It’s not that I don’t want to adjust but it’s because my I don’t possess any time to adjust anymore. Things got worsen with my co-curriculum activities. At first, I thought of abandoning the marching (kawad kaki) competition to take a break since I have been taking part in it every year since form 1. Well, I was shocked during our first meeting when I was announced as the co-president of KRS (Kadet Remaja Sekolah). I was still a little blurred when my name was called out. Now, I am forced to attend the daily practice at 5p.m. until 6.45p.m. Take last Thursday for example. School ends at 1.45p.m. for science stream students. So, I quickly went out to have lunch since I had KRS activities at 2p.m. After we were dismissed at 3.30p.m., I have another co-curriculum activity which was fitness running (larian kecergasan) at 4.30p.m until 5.30p.m. When I reached home at 6p.m., I was completely exhausted. Yet, I can’t rest since I have to rush and get ready to go to Mr.Ong’s tuition centre to teach. I was so stressed and frustrated with my life when I got home. Moreover, I still had homework to do. I finished my work at 12.p.m but I just don’t have the mood to sleep and decided to hear some rock music before sleeping such as Simple Plan and Linkin Park to release my tension until 1.a.m. The funny thing is I didn’t felt sleepy the next day but when it reached noon, I started to get drowsy and fell asleep in Mr.Ong’s class . Situations at that night got quite intense when Mr.Ong and Miss Lim argue about their class arrangements.

I’m not the only one who is frustrated with life during form 4. Other than me is one of my best friends, Lychee. He encountered some difficulties which frustrates him as well. The first problem was his add math’s teacher, Mr.Sarjit. Lychee was once scolded by him but after that awful incident, he tried to mend the relationship with his teacher. Unfortunately, that teacher scolded him again and insulted him that he has no brain when Lychee said “haaaaaaa” when he said that they might need to come for an extra class at Saturday. Later, he told his parents about his teacher but he was scolded again by them for being impolite to the teacher. When it came to love, things turned out to be a tragedy too when he asked his girl friend if she would be willing to go out with him on a date. Sadly, she shook her head and did not said anything. This cut his heart even deeper (OUCH!!!). After school, I was shocked when he called me and told me what happened and started crying on the phone . I tried to coax and calm him down. I also told him that he is not the only person who had bad days in this world (If he lived in my world, I think he would cry the whole day). As a friend, I also adviced him that he must be more stout-hearted as there are more obstacles and pressures ahead when he comes out to work in the future. Hopefully with the correct guidance, pressure and advice, he will become more mature this year and not a “CC” boy anymore.


Hhhhhmmmm, I have not chat with Pei Wen via MSN for a long time already. Do you think that she has blocked me? I missed chatting with her. I hope that she will be online soon.

My Link

Yes, this is another announcement. You can have a look at the left of this blog where the links are located. My loyal readers should have noticed that something different about it. I have reorganised the link templates into 3 groups which is "website links", "friends' links" and "my blogs". Website links will link you to certain websites which I found quite interesting while obviously friends' blogs will link you to my friends' blogs . The last is my blog which displays the links to the amazing blogs that I have.

A Heart Breaking Loss

For those who read The Star, you must have known that Asashi has been framed in a scandal. The multi-national company has been taken to court for selling pirated softwares. This must be the work of Dell, Acer and etc. They envy the technology that Asashi posses and corporate to put Asashi in a state of emergency. Now, Asashi is doomed due to the scandal. Listen to me fellow readers, let us mourn for the lost of Asashi and hope that it will once again rise from the ashes of defeat. Even though Asashi is now gone but we will still remember it in our hearts as the greatest PC developer in the world. If any of you who would like to express your grief and sorrow, you can leave a comment at this post. I will take these comments as a protest towards the lost of Asashi. Have faith that Asashi would never do such a disgraceful act. When I bought my Asashi, I also asked whether they sell pirated windows or not because I was already over budget at that time but the man on duty said they only support original softwares. You can judge this act by yourselves. There are hundreds of shops selling pirated softwares at Sungai Wang and Low Yat but did any of them get sued by Microsoft? The answer is NO!!! How dare of them to ruin the prestige of Asashi!!! Learn from this lesson and never buy those worthless computers from Dell, Acer, Hp and etc.

I prefer this instead

Gong Xi Fa Chai

It's Chinese New Year!!!!!! The day which every chinese has been waiting for a long time. Now, it has finally arrived!!!! Ang Paos, reunion dinner, and fireworks!!! Corresponding to this blissful day, I would like to wish everyone a happy and prosperous new year. Hopefully, everyone will have a smooth-sailing new year without any irritating obstacles ahead. May all of you have a healthy and wealthy new year too. Gong Xi Fa Chai.

Here's a special e-card for all of you

Memoirs of a Chinesehitman

First of all, I would greet everyone hello. I’m back after a long and suffering days I’ve spent without my Asashi. I know it is something hard for all of you to believe as how a good pc technology such as Asashi could broke down. It happened about 1 and a half month ago. Let us not be suspicious and condemned the power and quality of Asashi as this is just an unfortunate mishap which can happen to anyone who owns a PC especially those who own a poorly manufactured computer such as Acer, Dell, Hewlett- Packard (HP) and many more. Believe in the ability of Asashi which can bring ultimate joy and countless hours of entertainment to your lives. It is a highly complex and sophisticated pc. Take mine for example. My Asashi went to the PC hospital for nearly 2 months because it is too advance and complex for amateurs to handle. Therefore, we must advocate and have confidence in Asashi.




For your information, I have been working as a tutor during the holiday as a tutor. When I mentioned my job, don’t misunderstand me because I know that majority of you will think that, “What’s that difficult of being a tutor especially when you are teaching pre-school and primary students? Their syllabus is the most easiest to teach compared to older students and they are just kids who will be afraid and respect you just because you are older and appears fierce”. Well, let me tell you something. You’re completely misunderstood the job as a tutor. In fact, it is the other way around. Some of the youngsters and toddlers whom you call cute and obedient are actually monsters and demons responsible for bringing peer pressure and stress to the teachers around you but don’t misunderstand me again as I said some of them not all of them. There are logical explanations why I said this. As all of you know, children are born with an inquisitive mind and a curious desire to explore and learn the things around them. Parents have the responsibility to make sure that their children develop an interest in reading and learning educational things. Unfortunately, some of the parents use the wrong technique to guide their children causing them to develop an interest in playing instead of studies. If any of you teach this kind of pupil you will have a day of headache and an increase in your adrenalin. Fortunately, most of my current students are quite obedient. Among the students I like the most are Aqil and Pony. Aqil is currently 6 years old. He is a bit fat but the important thing is he is obedient and fun to play with. Pony is not only cute but a smart girl as well. She is only 5 years old but can catch up faster than the pupils older that her. The only thing I hate of teaching children is because I need to act like a child at certain times, sing and dance (actually I just clapped my hands instead of dancing) with them just to make learning more fun. Besides teaching toddlers, I also teach pupils from standard 1 until standard 6. There is not much to talk about them as at this age they are usually very quiet and boring. Another good thing about being a tutor is the good relationship I have with the pupils. Some of my students even became friends with me. Two of my students even bought me a pen after they heard that I got straight A’s for my PMR.



Even so, not all of the days during the school holiday is a living hell. Among the good days is Christmas. Like most of the Buddhist out there, I seldom celebrate Christmas but this holiday is totally a new experience and a sweet remembrance that I would remember every Christmas. Try to guess where have I been for Christmas. Mr.Ong’s house!!! You should see his house!!! It’s like a palace with a beautiful garden and decorations all around the house. The interior of his house is just too beautiful to be expressed by speech. Just look at his furniture!!! His chairs are made from premium imported Ross wood, decorated with genuine pearls which is somehow glued into the wood. He also owns imported paintings from China as well as a big stone with bright indigo crystals inside it. Then, there’s also the big cushy tiger which appears so real, crystal lamps, an antique clock and a cabinet used to store expensive liquors and alcoholic drinks such as red wines, vodkas, martinis and beers. His house is located somewhere near Ampang Point. You should easily recognized his house by the night because his house is the brightest compared to the bungalows of the famous corrupted Datuks, Datins, Ministers and popular artists. Ok, enough of the long description of his house and let us continue with the things that we did during that Christmas. On that day, Jian Shi and I went home at 6.00p.m after we had finished our duties. I felt so anxious to see Mr.Ong’s house for the first time and to check whether the rumours about his house are true or not. When I returned home at about 6.15p.m, I quickly had a nice cool bath to clean myself of the dirt and odour after a long and stressful day of work. Then, I just collapse at my bed to rest for a while before getting prepared for the great party. At eight, Mr.Ong give us accommodation to his house by his Toyota Harrier. Only Jian Shi and I went arrived first since we had to lend him a hand for the preparation of the party. When we arrived at there, the first word that came out of our mouths was “Waaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh”. Frankly speaking, his house was like a palace for the Sultans to live. Unfortunately, it was drizzling at that time. So, we had to for the rain to stop because there wouldn’t be any barbeque if the rain extinguished the fire. Then, Mr.Ong told us to wait for him as he went to fetch the others which consist of Lily, Yan Xiong, Yan Yu, Pei Li, Joan and the uninvited Jeffrey. While he went to fetch them, Miss Lim (Mr.Ong’s wife) invited us to join her for a little dinner to fill our stomach while waiting for the drizzle to stop. When everyone had arrived, Lily played the piano to entertain us while still patiently waiting for the rain to stop. When I heard her playing the piano, I was startled to hear the calming and soothing music that she played. It made me really envy her skills. If I had money, I would also wanted to learn to play piano but sadly I do not have enough financial income to do so. At 10p.m, the drizzle finally stopped and we unpacked our barbeque sets to get started. We lighted the charcoal and maintained it as a small fire as we did not want our food to be scorched. Next, we placed the foods on top of the wire gauze and wait for it to be cooked. There lots of mouth-watering foods such as salmon fish (non of us have the chance to taste it), “kamung” fish, satays (it is special because it has no fat in the middle and the meat is very tender and juicy) and hotdogs. While waiting for the foods to be cooked, someone insert a CD containing party songs such as Chicken Little and Crazy Frog as well as Christmas songs such as Jingle Bells and etc. Then, the music gave a sudden shock towards Jeffrey. He started to react weirdly and began to dance with music. Not want to miss that golden opportunity, U Vin quickly record the dance into the camcorder he is holding (but he only recorded the second time Jeffrey danced, the first dance is longer and funnier). It was certainly a laughable moment. Not long after the dance, he suddenly underwent a sudden emotional change from a happy face to a “boo-woo” face. We did not know what caused the sudden change. May be, the dance triggered a sad memory from his past. Most of us thought that it might because he failed his examination while others thought that he was scolded by his elder sister(Joan) for his childish behaviour. After trying to coax and calm his feelings, he said that he is worried about his taekwando test that will be held next week (Ceeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhh). So, it was just a waste of time and energy to coax him after all. That is not end of his crying episode. He later cried for the second time when her elder sister forbid him from eating too much (quaaaaahhhhh, I’ll tell mami when we get home). After feasting on the delicious meal, it finally came to the most unforgettable scene of the party which is trying different kinds of alcoholic drinks for the first time in our lives. Until today, I still can’t understand the pleasure of drinking these kinds of stuff. All of us were given a little of different samples. Mr.Ong told us to sip it slowly and enjoy the delightful taste of the expensive red wine (yaaaakkkkhhhh), vodka (passion fruit flavour), martini (coffee flavour) and beer. Things were different for Jeffrey. He drank the glass of wine in one gulp as though he was drinking water like in the movies. His actions then transformed him into a mad bull on rampage. He kept on pulling U Vin’s arms like it were drumsticks attached to a roasted chicken (yam-yam). The alcohol also had some effects on the rest of us too. Our faces were blushing like red tomatoes which are freshly plucked from the trees. Then, came the most terrible thing of all …………………………… (Sorry, this part is censored due its undignified content). At 2.00a.m, the party was dismissed and we went home in Mr.Ong’s Harrier. Unfortunately for Jian Shi, he forgotten to bring his keys and had to scream to wake his family members from their beauty sleep.



While everyone was happily celebrating New Year, I wasn’t quite eager to celebrate New Year instead. Finally, the most terrifying year of all had arrived. It’s the year which I had to take the burden and responsibility in making a vital decision that would change my life forever. I had to choose whether I should enter Science or Account stream. There are many elements that are needed to be taken into considerations such as dream of being luxurious, job satisfaction, and the burden of entering such stream. Neither Science nor Account stream is perfect. Both have their pros and cons. If I choose Science, I have to sacrifice most of time to revise which I don’t have due to my part time work. This will be a burden to me but the career options may provide me with the job satisfactory I want since Science is an interesting subject compared to Account which is so boring and dull. In real life, I would have a more diverse path to choose if I enter Account stream. The possibility of me hitting a jackpot if I enter the competitive business world is also high. The chance of finding a job and receiving high wages after years of working experience and getting promoted is quite promising. Still, that comes with a price as I have to sit for a series of test before getting my degree. Besides, being indulged in the Accountancy is very stressful as I will have to face numbers and computers the whole day. Last but not least is my financial problem and whether I will get a scholarship or not. If I am unable to get a scholarship or a sponsorship, I will end up wasting my 14 years of learning and gaining knowledge. If I selected the wrong stream, I will also end up as a low wage earner or worst of all, unemployed. Instead if I selected the right course, I might end up being wealthy and have a happy family. Why life can’t be more scrupulous and fair? Why can’t everyone be rich and live in the world of luxury without going to so much trouble to study and hunt for a job, or finding the right business? TELL ME WHY!!!



This year, I decided to do something very drastic that I might regret. I think Pei Wen and I should just be normal friends after 2 months of consideration and thinking. First of all is the communication gap that we have between us. We barely can find anything that we have in common to talk about except for our studies. Next are the differences that we have. Her hobbies are watching Astro and movies, listening to Cantonese and Chinese songs, and playing SMS and miss calls. I am a totally different person from her as my hobbies are playing computer games, surfing the net, reading newspapers (only ‘The Star’), typing my blogspot, do some research on the latest hardware (especially graphic cards) and software and chatting via MSN Messenger. Let me ask all of you. Do you see anything in common between us? The answer is almost none. Another factor is her attitude. I’ll tell you a story. Last year, just a day before school ended, Pei Wen and I had decided to meet at school just for a look at each other before the holiday started. Beside us, some of our friends also came to school. As usual, we just can’t seem to find anything that we talk about. So, after a while, we decided to do our own things. I played Yu-Gi-Oh cards with some of my friends at the back of the class while she played Chinese chess and Poker cards at the front. I didn’t join the since I was not that familiar with Nam Yen and the others. Another thing is I don’t gamble. At around 10.30a.m, my friends and I started to get bored. So, we went over there just to have a look. I even played for a moment but I don’t really felt happy even though I won some money. Instead, I felt lonely and sad. She on the other hand, looked happy and seemed to enjoy herself. After a game of Poker, we played some kind of game that involves putting our hands together. She played that game and put her hands on top of other boys’ hands without feeling ashamed of herself. Then, she played some kind of “tepuk-tepuk” that was once played she was in primary school. At time, there were all kinds of unhappy feelings in my heart. That was also the time that I decided we were not meant to be together. Since that day, I rarely talk to her anymore. Although we are of the same class, I ignored her as though I have never met her before. It is a tough job trying to forget her. Even though I reacted in such a way, I still have feelings for her.

THE END.
