I Am

on Friday, November 30, 2007

If I've Einstein's brain,
If I'm as rich as Bill Gates,
If I can write like Rowling,
If I can sing like Jojo,
If I've Bach's talent,
If I'm as devoted as Mother Teresa......

Ok ok, stop dreaming. I'm none of the above.

I'm who I'm. You know me? Then you will know who I am =P

The Magic Of Smiles

on Wednesday, November 28, 2007


We smile when:

1. We are posting in front of the camera.

2. We meet our friends on the street.

3. We meet friendly strangers.

4. We are feeling gratitude.

5. We feel relieved.

6. We are happy.

7. We are contented.

8. Our hopes are granted.

9. We know that it's holiday tomorrow.

10. We want to exercise our face muscles. =P


There are a lot more reasons for us to smile. Even if there isn't any, you can still smile. Smile increases our faces' value and shines through everyone's heart. You can never know how wonderful it is when someone smiles at you while you are gloomy. It just brighten up your day! It's unbelievable that there are so many goodness in a smile, it's free, it's easy and it's instant! So, what are you waiting for now? *Smiles!!* =)

NOW,

I sMiLe coz:
1. I finished my Chem papers today.
2. I'm going back to Penang tomorrow.
3. I wrote this post.
Let's spread happiness to everyone around us!! ~Peace~

Wandering

I thought I finished all the homework for this week.
I thought I can enjoy my short weekend back in Penang.
I thought I don't need to bring any book or paper back to Penang.
I thought I will be happy.

However, to my great dismay, I received one whole set of Chem past years right after I finished my Math papers. What the...

We had all the past years, we had done all the papers.
What we want is not repeating those we-did-before-papers.
What we want is a better explanation, not "discuss with your friends".
What we want is accurate guidance on answering the questions, not copying the answers.
What we want is more lab practices, not theories.
What we want is "Yeah, I have", not "I don't have".

When will "what-we-want" be realised?

Holidays are never enough. Be it one month or one year, they can never satisfy my greed. Yeah, I'm greedy, I crave for more holidays, more time to hang around, more time to watch my favourite drama series, more time to spend with my family, more time to online and more time to do whatever I feel like doing.

I'm lucky. This is what I had been told. Yes, I'm lucky. This is a chance that can seldom be encountered in life. Why worry? Why the sadness when you are alone? Why not? Why yes?

It's now approximately one month and 11 days from A Levels, which is equivalent to 42 days, which means that I have 1008 hours left. If I sleep for 8 hours per day, I have only 672 hours left. Substracting 2 hours everyday for mealtime, I left 588 hours. If I spend one hour dreaming everyday, I have 546 hours left......546 hours is equals to 22.75 days. I can't imagine life like that. More and more time will be deducted if I continue to count. Arghh, face the truth!! TIME IS REALLY RUNNING OUT!!!

Searing!

on Sunday, November 25, 2007

It's freaking HOT now!! I'm talking about the weather, what did you think, duh!

No joke, the sun is flaming hot and the sky is so blue that you will definitely got sunburn if you go under the sun. I had a nap just now and after I woke up, ouchh!! I just don't feel well. Feel like taking a cold water bath but not now, I know I'm going to sweat when I go out later.

Since it's too hot that I couldn't concentrate anymore, I find myself crapping here again. Haha, writing here has becoming my daily routine nowadays, I wonder how long will it last... In fact, my productivity is very low today. Perhaps I'm too boring, perhaps there is still plenty of time left, perhaps I don't care what perhaps is anymore.

I'm not only sick of books, I'm sick of the food here too! Yeah, I'm choosy in terms of food. I just don't like their food. Cultural difference perhaps? Haha... To make matter worse, AUSMAT cafe doesn't have much food either. It's so boring to see fried rice and fried noodles everyday. I wanna go home!!

Okay, continue after dinner. I bought chocolate just now, treating myself better once in a while should be ok. Hehe. Fat? Calories? Ahh, I don't care anymore!

It's just less than one month before my revision ends. I haven't even started my revision yet and in a blink of eye, one week has gone! What did I do? Oh yeah, online, listening to music, sleeping, daydreaming etc. So many things I had done but none of them is of academic concern. By the way, there is a possibility that my revision month may be shorten, I hope so. Since attending Bio class for the last week is optional, I might be going back earlier, hehe. Thinking of it, I really can't wait to go home soon!!!

AGAIN!

I was caught by that stupid guard AGAIN just now!

Apalah, sekarang ni 2007 atau 1957? 50 tahun merdeka dah, teknologi canggih, komunikasi canggih, apa pun nak canggih, sayang sekali, minda TERTUTUP!

They want us to learn Theology and Philosophy, we learned. They taught us that we need to be open minded as closed minded will lead to decline of a civilisation. And we learned. BUT, it seems that theory and practical aren't the same.

Somebody tell me please, is wearing a T-shirt and long pants indecent? This cannot; that cannot, next time just come out with a rule making baju kurung compulsory everyday for every occassion! Stupid authority, whoever sets the rules, and whoever implements them.

Is wearing what so important? As long as it's neat and decent, I don't think there's any problem. Moreover, wearing a T-shirt that fits you is 100 times neater than wearing an XXL T-shirt! And recently, I saw a notice informing the dressing code for some kind of dinner. Oh great, no sleeveless blah blah blah. The easiest way out is --- just write wear baju kurung lah!

Baju kurung --- kurung yourself!

I swear, I'm not going to follow the stupid rules and regulations the day I leave INTEC. I'm not going to wear long sleeves! I will proudly announce to the stupid guard that "SAYA BUKAN PELAJAR INTEC!"

Up To You

It was really noisy this afternoon. The sound of machinery from the renovation work caused me to lose concentration. (Good excuse) But luckily, I still managed to finish up metabolic pathways before going out for dinner just now. Low productivity, though. Can't think of anything to write today, I'm just too tired. Biological time has not been adjusted yet and I had been yawning in the class since Tuesday. Arghh! I'm going to get sufficient sleep today. Good night everybody!

Twilight

on Thursday, November 22, 2007

I could have captured a nicer picture if my camera was better.

I knew it. The view wasn't good as it was blocked by the roof.

Generally, sunset gives me a feeling of nostalgia, of reminiscence and of loneliness. As night crawls in, people are preparing to go to bed. It marks the end of the day, whether you like it or not. You can choose not to sleep, you can force yourself to stay awake with the effect of caffeine BUT you cannot deny that the day is coming to an end. Tick tock, tick tock... As the clock on the wall strikes twelve, it's another brand new day!

Today, I've a completely new feeling. The rays represent hope, will and power. It gives me strength to pursue my dreams and to endure in terms of adversity. I whispered to myself, "I'm going to finish up my Stats homework as soon as possible and to complete my Chem today." Reflectively, the other part of myself shouted back,
"TIME FOR YOUR BRAIN TO START WORKING!! STOP TALKING NONSENSE HERE!!"

Yeah, action is more important than words. I'm going to listen to my own voice. Thank you!

Scribbles

I'm here
I need to study
I need to make it

Laziness is striking me
Boredom is killing me off

BUT

Nothing shall stop me from concentrating
I'm going to STUDY hard
The smart way
I'm going to live my life
To the fullest

I know it's hard
I know it's full of rocks and stones
I know it's not gonna be a bed of roses
I know that hurdles are ahead

I'm learning...

Like a diamond
I'm determined
But not dogged
Like an erythrocyte
I'm flexible
But not losing my identity
Like a xerophyte
I will survice
In hostility

I'll be selected for
I come, and
I conquer!

Jia You!!

on Wednesday, November 21, 2007

How long do I still need to lead a life like this?

Every morning when people are still slumbering in their comfortable beds, I need to wake up.

When the sun is scorching and the only thing that appear in my mind is to snooze, I need to be reminded that A Levels is coming soon.

The night is so quiet, too quiet that it seems to be liveless.

When I wake up in the morning, I see no light.

When I am going to sleep at night, I see no light as well.

When I walk outside, I see the usual same faces.

When I go to college, I sit at the same place, doing the same thing.

When I miss home, I will whisper to myself,

"Be patient, just another few more weeks."


===My journey begins tomorrow===
Be patient and be persevere!!! Jia you jia you, hehe!!!

Believe It Or Not?

on Tuesday, November 20, 2007

Finally, I tried the newly opened Pak Li Kopitiam today. Some of the food are not bad I guess, but the prawn mee that I tried is still different from Penang's. Of course Penang one is better!! =P

Oh yeah, I missed an entry yesterday. Yesterday was initially a nice day. No homework, nothing to do too since I had finished cleaning the day before. In fact, I was enjoying myself in the room. Music, chatting etc. However, the news that we need to move (AGAIN!) turned me down completely!! What the??? Blah blah blah... Somebody says this, somebody says that... Whatever!

There we were, at the Cemara office. The officer came and started his "speech". Do... Re... Mi... Fa... So... La... Ti... Do... Ti LaSoFaMiReDo!!! Ok ok, clearance!!

WHAT?!!
@#$@#%#%&^$

We just settled down one day ago and now they asked us to move again?! Right, we can't do anything. Pn. Rita was on leave and En. Hassan was away at Kinabalu. We were inferior. SO,
"Hooray!! Move!!!" (Please don't misunderstand, I wasn't happy with that.)

We did clearance and handed in our keys. With the new keys, we went to "visit" our new hostel. The first thing that came into our sights was the toilet. OMG! I was out of adjective to describe it but according to Zhi Hui, it looked like kopitiam's toilet. Haha... The second thing that I thought of was the bed. Ehh, why the bed and pillow were grey in colour?! AhhHH!! How come?

That night, I lied on my bed thinking... I never know that I was so lucky to stay in a newly renovated unit until yesterday. Suddenly, all complaints and dissatisfaction are gone. In one night, I learned to appreaciate my current unit, new bed, new pillow, new table, new chair, new cupboard... Practically everything was new!

A dramatic change happened today.

......

Luckily, everything is now over... Thank God!

A New Look

on Sunday, November 18, 2007

With this ticket, I came back to a place where foot is my best companion, studying is my favourite pastime and mealtime is my hope. =P

Look at the fan below, and compare with my previous post. Clean right?

The corner of my room is no longer dusty or full with hair.

After cleaning, my unit is 100 times cleaner. (Rather exaggerate, haha!)

My kitchen has no ant, for now. Hehe!

So, I CLEANED my hostel! Haha... Doesn't it look more ready to be stayed? =P But thanks to it, my arms and legs are aching and I'm completely exhausted!

Did I venture into the wrong field?

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Emo

PS: If you don't want your holiday mood to be affected by my crappy post, don't read.

At this time tomorrow, I will be on my way back to Shah Alam.

Why do I need to go back when everyone else is coming back?
Why do I need to study when the others are enjoying holiday back in their hometowns?
Why can't I do the stupid revision at home?
What is the point of repeating those past years that we had done before?
Why must you, INTEC deprive me of my time at home?
Why must it be compulsory but not optional?
Why must I be so pessimistic?
Why is ME???

I'm sad. I'm demolarised. I'm growing more melancholy every hour.

The NS list is up. And my bro got the 2nd batch. What to study, what to study? This seems to be the biggest problem that I faced two years ago. Sometimes, not everything can be expressed here. But what I can say is I truly understand the difficulties in making decision. Whether you had decided or not, there will certainly be objections. There are just too many things to be cared for. This is no good, that is bad. You will ended up being a nobody and so on. Okay, okay, that's enough. A moment of silence please.

What I want to see is evidence.
What I want to hear is maturity of thoughts.
What I want to know is not who who who study this and ended up being that.
What I want to listen is not this aunty her son studies this, and that aunty her daughter studies that.
What I want is: CONFIRMATION

Alright, adults know better. They are more experienced. They can read your mind. They know what you want. They will lead you to a better future! If you don't listen to them, you wil regret in the future. If you DO listen to them, you can't blame them in the future. But if you DON'T listen to them, they will blame you in the future.

I'm not talking about me. I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about NO ONE.

I'm So Happy!

on Friday, November 16, 2007

Okay, I'm not mad. I'm happy now!! But I don't know how long it will last. =P

I don't need to move!! Yeah, I will be staying in Akasia during the revision month, no more Cemara!!!

What If...

Half way shopping just now, something flashed through my mind. It was something I never worry about and nearly forgotten --- RESULTS!

Suddenly, many questions flooded into my mind: What if...
1. I didn't do well
2. I managed to do well now but not in the actual exam
3.I can know what if

This matter has been bothering me since a long time ago. I may be a little too pessimistic at times but I just couldn't help it. I had never been good luck in important exams, as far as I could remember.

My holiday is going to come to an end very soon... I am so sad. No more drama series, no more shopping, no more good food, no more cosy bed. Instead, I need to worry about what to eat every meal, think of what I'm going to study tomorrow and my major concern would be to minimise the number of clothes I need to wash. And lastly, I know it's stupid to mention this, I know you may think that I am a nut or something, up to you. At night, when silence is the only answer you get from the surroundings, I will start to think too much. What if...
1. Somebody breaks into my room
2. The door is blown close by "something" but not wind
3. The murmuring sound that I heard is...... So eerie!!

Across Penang Bridge

I became a bright light bulb for one evening and night! No no, I should say I became a candle, haha... Candle sounds better. Although it has the same effect as bulb, candle seems to be more respectable, more romantic and more... erm, oh yeah, candle sacrifices itself to illuminate the others. Haha... But in my case, there was no sacrifice being done.

Actually, I went to Sunway Carnival with my cousin, and of course her "friend". It was the first time I went there after its official opening a few months ago. Just like what I had been told before going, it has no difference from other shopping malls, except that it is much smaller than Queensbay Mall. Perhaps I expected too much of it. But the name is somehow "grand", I thought it would be something like Sunway Pyramid, at least. Anyway, to have something like Sunway Carnival is better than nothing too. It houses many retail outlets such as Esprit, PDI, Hush Puppies etc. etc. Pardon me for my forgetfulness.

Moving on, our next destination is Tambun a.k.a seafood hunt. It had been 5 months since I last went there. For a few hours, I completely forgot about calories and fat! The only thing that appeared in my mind was EAT. Later, we went to Auto City. The first impression it gave me was erm... a bigger version of E-Gate. Again, there were many restaurants and cafes. Interestingly, Penang International Lantern Festival is being held there. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to visit it but I managed to grab a few photographs of the outside view. It was the first time I feel that Hello Kitty is sweet. =P
Hello Kitty standing on the bridge
A closer look, splendid!
My cousin and I


It's me, together with Kitties, hehe...

Happy Or Sad?

on Thursday, November 15, 2007

My enjoyable holiday is going to end soon but at the same time, it's the start of my fellow course mates' long long holiday. How sad... So so so unfair!!

I'm going back to SA soon, this time alone. Argh!! This adds to my nostalgia. Moreover, I'm going to spend the one whole month alone. Where's my roommate??! Of course, I will not be alone if we need to move to Cemara. But again, I'm reluctant to do so. Akasia is better, although not much. First of all, the wireless signal is better. At least I can online at the balcony. Secondly, all the furniture in my unit is first-hand. I can't imagine myself sleeping on a pillow somebody you don't know had slept on before, yuckss!! Thirdly, my books!! My God!! I have so many books, so heavy, how am I going to move them all the way to Cemara?!

I wanna go back to SA, NOT!!! And I want to move to Cemara, NOT!!!

An Eye Opener

on Monday, November 12, 2007

A small unit on the fifth floor at a small place in a small part of the world:

Looks quite neat, still acceptable...

My God, when was the last time you wash this fan? Not long, it was like 6 months ago =P

Ever wonder what are those "colourful" little things? Well, they are traces of half-decompose balloons at the corner of the table, blue plastic bag, white and red balloons but I don't know what the yellow-blackish thing is.


Strands of hair at one corner


You see the hair? No comment.

A Morning Post

One week passes so fast... I didn't even realise it until a few days ago. Yeah, holiday is always my favourite time of the year, be it the long long end-of-sem holiday or shorter mid-term break.

Nowadays, holiday is obviously very different from my holiday during school days. Previously, holiday means don't need to go to school and don't need to wake up early in the morning. But now, holiday means I can come back to Penang!! I never know that my hometown is such a nice place before that - heaven of food and lots more!!

As I could remember, I practically "wasted" all my holidays watching movies, drama series and need not to mention, GAINING WEIGHT!! Sleep, eat, online, sleep, watch movie, sleep is my daily routine. 很废,对吧?

SPM starts today. To my bro, good luck and do study!!

GCE Timetable

on Saturday, November 10, 2007

Printed out Edexcel's timetable today. It is a long timetable, lasting for approximately one month from 7th Jan 08 till 1st Feb 08. However, glad to say that my exam schedule is way shorter than the actual timetable, from 9th to 28th Jan 08 only BUT the number of days I'm going to sit for exam is only 9 days! Well, how could it lasts for about 3 weeks then? Since every exam is almost the same, it's up to you to guess! =P

I wonder how persevere I will be during the one whole month. I can be very hardworking when time's really running out and every subject comes consecutively. Yep, I rather choose to be hardworking for two weeks and say goodbye to the exam as soon as possible. But sadly, I can only follow the fixed timetable, right?

So, I decided to come back to Penang after the revision month, say for two weeks then only I go back to SA. Hehe, anyway, the duration I'll be back is still tentative as I still couldn't make up my mind but one thing for sure, I'll be back, by hook or by crook!!

No More "P"!

on Tuesday, November 6, 2007

I've my first Malaysian Driving Licence!! And the word "probationary" no longer appears on my driving licence!!!

Two years, oh God! It was like yesterday when I first got my driving licence. Haha... The first time I was driving on the road holding a learner's licence, it was a mixture of excitement and nervous. Moving on, the first time I was driving on the road with my probationary driving licence, it was a rainy day, heavy rain and everyone in the car was so terrified! Ahaha... Luckily there weren't anyone with weak heart.

The reason why I like Penang so much is because I can drive back at here! Nonetheless, my previous encounters with public transport in Shah Alam was a complete disaster!

Firstly, it was the taxi. Although there are a couple of honest taxi drivers, mind you! Most of them are unethical taxi drivers. The latter will charge you like mad as if their petrol is made of gold! Not only that, their attitudes show that Moral Education is a waste of time! Well, most of them don't study Moral. =P

Secondly, it's our infamous commuter - packed like sandwich during peak hours and they are never punctual!

Thirdly, buses. There was once when I was on board a bus with malfuctioned air conditioner. Pratically I think that it has no difference from a hot oven! To make matter worse, the bus was packed with passengers so many that you can hardly move. Everyone was sweating but the bus stopped for approximately half an hour by the roadside, leaving all the passengers waiting. I bet many will suffer from oxygen depletion if the situation continues.

What to do? We have got one of the best highways in Southeast Asia!!! =P

I'm Back!!!

on Sunday, November 4, 2007

Unbelievable, two weeks is now OVER!!!
Yeah, no more NAS (Nelson Advance Science), no more notes, no more exercises, no more past years and most importantly, no more sleepless nights!!! Well, for two weeks, at least. Hehe...

Looking back to last two weeks, i.e. the first day I reached Shah Alam, I spent the whole afternoon and night doing Math and Stats. My sleepless-night-journey began...

Second day, third day, fourth day.... until the last day of my trial, the two weeks had been one of the longest in my life. No afternoon nap, no daydreaming, study, study and study, so mundane! Days are like months, weeks are like years...

Well, don't misunderstand. Not that I was so hardworking, it was rather the consequence of studying at the eleventh hour, or tenth maybe? Haha... And lastly, due to this, I've pimples popping up on my face, arghhh!!!
