And, got a new namewee video.

Small children can watch, no bad words!

My neighbour got a new karaoke system...

I slept at 4am, plan to sleep at least until 12. Mana tau kena disturbed around 9am, then cannot fall asleep anymore.

Someone help me sabotage his karaoke...

I also had a nightmare just now.

I dreamt that SPM haven't finish yet, and I went to school and took Science Paper 1. o.O WTF?

After Science Paper 1, got Chemistry Paper 3.

Then teacher said that I can check my results online on that day so I went home and checked.

Chemistry - C9

EHHHH WTF???? C9??? Got C9 wan meh??

Suddenly, the results changed already. It said "Diskaun" and then Chemistry become B already.

Ugh, damn cacat dream....

Then the next day I have to take Accounts. Teacher called my parents and said that I had ticked Accounts back in January, so I have to come.

Wah damn scary, every question also clueless. Fail lo Fail lo...

I don't remember what happened after that.

26th November, brought my mom to 1 Utama.

On the way up the escalator.

Followed my mom around.

Dunno what health care product shop, got skeleton as it's mascot.

Saw this at Cold Storage. Portable PC!

27th November, final day of SPM.

Reached school damn early... 6.15am...

So I decided to go driving around town, familiarize myself with the roads there since I've only been there on a bus or on my dad's car.

The plan was to get on the MRR2 behind Times Square, I had only gone through that road once, on my dad's car.

I was happily following the sign stating Taman Maluri and something else and then suddenly there was an exit to the left.

When the exit was right next to me, then only I saw the sign above it, Taman Maluri....

WA!!! OH SHIT! OH SHIT! OH SHIT!!!

Then I went to Pandan Jaya, Cempaka and many places I've never been before, just simply driving around. Got junction, turn left. Then another junction, turn right la. Main tembak.

Somehow I found a sign stating a highway to KLCC, terus naik!

Arrived back in town and followed signs back to Bukit Bintang, and took the Pudu route back, don't want to miss a junction again.

Reached school around 6.50am, still no one...

Then at 7, Eunice and Chee Fai came.

Eunice why so depressed?

After Xue Feng, Kah Yung and Kah Hoe came, we went to eat breakfast at don't know what place.

I ordered Prawn Noodles, dunno why become Lam Mee.

Never mind, also nice to eat la.

Then I go return my SPBT books.

Back in January, I didn't borrow Kerusi and Konserto Terakhir because at that time, there wasn't enough of those two books for everybody and since my sis got them, I didn't borrow those 2 books.

But the teacher said it was ticked there for Kerusi. After I insisted that I didn't borrow, she wrote a note a said she will ask Puan Zaireen.

I lost my Biology textbook, dunno which asshole took it, or maybe I didn't keep it properly?

That cost be RM11. Dunno why, didn't kena punished for not wrapping books.

There was a croakcroach and I stomped it. It didn't die, it's leg were still moving a bit when I picked it up because teacher wanted me to throw it away.

Went outside and saw Eunice holding tons of books. I couldn't resist it.

Eunice went "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and ran super fast even though holding so many textbooks.

The power of adrenaline!

Then I went to Kah Yung's house with Kah Hoe and of course Kah Yung.

Kah Sing still sleeping.

Played DotA there and went back to school on 10.30.

Dunno where a football appeared from. Played football around the tapak perhimpunan.

Finally, exam time!

Haiz, EST, sap sap sui.

20 mins siap already. Left early.

Sign outside our classes.

Alvin also came out early.

Don't know what Xue Feng, Kah Hoe and Chi Wei doing.

Sei Kah Yung, ask him come out early he don't want. Can see Yap Show yawning.

Done stupid stuffs.

NOBODY CARES ABOUT ME!!! I'M SICK OF EVERYBODY!!! SEE YOU ALL IN HELL, BASTARDS AND BITCHES!!!

XD

Went to lunch at ABC.

I didn't eat, just drank some coffee.

Back to school for another EST.

Our cars parked outside school. Kee Sau's Latio, Canny's Wira, my Myvi and Kah Yung's Atos.

Kee Sau got Latio!!! Jealous!

I finished early 15 mins and don't know why I left so fast...

Should have waited to bid goodbye to everybody.

Took this picture when I was about to bathe.

Last time wearing this pair of pants.

Haiz, cannot hang out with everybody else, had to bring my mom to Sunway Pyramid.

Semalam baru saja pergi 1U...

J-Card Member's day.

Discounts everyday.

Only on 27th, so had to go.

And since Jusco is boring for me, I walked around Sunway lo.

Then my mom called and said she's gonna be done, and I went back to Jusco.

Got this security guard standing outside the entrance.

Apparently, only J-Card members can go inside.

I tried to enter and this happened.

*Security guard stops me*

"Boleh tunjuk J-Card?"

"Saya takde J-Card."

"Takde J-Crad, tak boleh masuk."

*points at a random kid entering with his mom*

"Dia pun takde J-Card, kenapa boleh masuk?"

"Mak dia ada J-Card."

"Mak saya pun ada, dia kat dalam"

"Ohh... cakap awal ma.. sila masuk"

Mom bought me a new PSP battery, my battery died last month.

YEAH! My PSP won't be collecting dust anymore!

(Ish, I keep typing wrongly...)

Total Internal Reflection

Physics tomorrow. =D

Physics is my favorite subject. I like it a lot because it don't require much memorization, I just need to understand it and I'm done. And, I can understand it quite easily. ^^

I'll always be smiling happily after a Physics exam because I know how to answer most of the questions.

But, I have never ever scored an A in Physics before, and I don't know why.

When I get back my paper, it will always be a B or C, never an A.

Now, it's the final time I'll be taking a Physics paper, and I really do hope that I'll get an A this time.

*prays hard* >.<

Biology?

*Sets up an altar*

Oh Great God of Biology!

Please make the paper easy just like what the God of Chemistry did.

Please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please

I give you more please' than to the God of Chemistry, so you know how desperate I am.

No copy paste here either, I'm 100% sincere.

End of prayer.

2 more days of SPM!

Technically, its 3 days, but EST is.... meh.

Eh no, I can't say that.

I remember when I played FIFA Manager 08, for every goal my team scored, even against an unknown team, I must raise my fist triumphantly as if it was the most beautiful goal ever scored.

If I don't do that, I will jinx the match and a lousy unknown team will make a comeback and defeat Manchester United.

So I guess the same applies here, so

OMG EST IS HARD!!! MUST NOT UNDERESTIMATE IT!

Good luck y'all, it's the final week!

Oh I'm gonna be rich!!! RM15k!

I can buy a new phone, a PS3, an Xbox 360, a Wii and the rest of the money for games!

Dream dream dream.....

Dad fetched me home. Rained. Heavily.

Waiting for dad at Courts.

Looming rainclouds.

Rain!

Woah, can't see shit.

The wiper can go at maximum speed yet there will be not a single dry spot in the windshield for a fraction of a second.

Never drove before under such heavy rain. Feels scary.

Aiya, too blur. It's supposed to show 3 cars, stuck in the flood. One is really dai sei, think his Kancil is a X-Trail meh, drive to the flood for what...

My internet connection is getting worse and worse recently.

Super slow speed + random disconnects = frustrated me.

This simple post took about 1 and a half hour.

There will be a thing spinning and spinning with a message.

It spun for 10 minutes, then an error appears.
"Connection to server has been reset bla bla bla"

Frustration o' meter [||||||||||||||||||||] 90%

Luckily I have kept a few inkless pen on the table.

I feel better after snapping one of them.

A few interesting reads

A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused. Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the operational track.

The train is coming, and you are just beside the track interchange. You can make the train change its course to the disused track and save most of the kids. However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused track would be sacrificed. Or would you rather let the train go its way?

Let's take a pause to think what kind of decision we could make.

Most people might choose to divert the course of the train, and sacrifice only one child. You might think the same way, I guess. Exactly, to save most of the children at the expense of only one child was rational decision most people would make, morally and emotionally. But, have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the disused track had in fact made the right decision to play at a safe place?

Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends who chose to play where the danger was. This kind of dilemma happens around us everyday. In the office, community, in politics and especially in a democratic society, the minority is often sacrificed for the interest of the majority, no matter how foolish or ignorant the majority are, and how farsighted and knowledgeable the minority are. The child who chose not to play with the rest on the operational track was sidelined. And in the case he was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for him.

The great critic Leo Velski Julian who told the story said he would not try to change the course of the train because he believed that the kids playing on the operational track should have known very well that track was still in use, and that they should have run away if they heard the train's sirens. If the train was diverted, that lone child would definitely die because he never thought the train could come over to that track! Moreover, that track was not in use probably because it was not safe. If the train was diverted to the track, we could put the lives of all passengers on board at stake! And in your attempt to save a few kids by sacrificing one child, you might end up sacrificing hundreds of people to save these few kids.

While we are all aware that life is full of tough decisions that need to be made, we may not realize that hasty decisions may not always be the right one.

'Remember that what's right isn't always popular... and what's popular isn't always right.'

Blessing in Disguise

The only survivor of a shipwreck washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly to be rescued, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements and to store his few possessions.

Then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, with the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened; everything was lost. He was stung with grief and anger.

"God, how could you do this to me!" he cried and complained.

Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship’s horn that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers.

"We saw your smoke signal," they replied.

This is a reminder to all of us to never forget that many blessings come in disguises. Often they show up as uncomfortable or even dangerous and painful situations. And often only later, sometimes decades later, does the true purpose of something revealed.

The Farmer's Donkey

One day a farmer's donkey fell into an abandoned well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was too old and the well needed to be covered up anyway; so it just wasn't worth it to him to try to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They each grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. Realizing what was happening, the donkey at first cried and wailed horribly.

Then, a few shovel-fulls later, he quieted down completely. The farmer peered down into the well, and was astounded by what he saw. With every shovel-full of dirt that hit his back, the donkey would shake it off and take a step up on the new layer of dirt.

As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted off, to the shock and astonishment of everyone.

The Moral: Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to stop wailing, and not let the dirt bury you, but to shake it off and take a step up. Each one of our troubles is a stepping-stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.

The Blind Boy

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: 'I am blind, please help.' There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, 'Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?'

The man said, 'I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.' What he had written was: 'Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it.'

Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?

Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.

The Cracked Pot

An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole, which she carried across her neck. One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water, at the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.

For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do.

After 2 years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house."

The old woman smiled, "Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house."

This is to remind us that each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. You've just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them.

The Heartfelt Gift

According to legend, a young man, while roaming the desert, came across a spring of delicious crystal-clear water. The water was so sweet he filled his leather canteen so he could bring some back to a tribal elder who had been his teacher. After a four-day journey he presented the water to the old man who took a deep drink, smiled warmly and thanked his student lavishly for the sweet water. The young man returned to his village with a happy heart.

Later, the teacher let another student taste the water. He spat it out, saying it was awful. It apparently had become stale because of the old leather container. The student challenged his teacher: "Master, the water was foul. Why did you pretend to like it?"

The teacher replied, "You only tasted the water. I tasted the gift. The water was simply the container for an act of loving-kindness and nothing could be sweeter.

How did you respond the last time you received a gift that you didn't really want?

Growing Good Corn

There was a Nebraska farmer who grew award-winning corn. Each year he entered his corn in the state fair where it won a blue ribbon...

One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew it. The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors.

"How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?" the reporter asked.

"Why sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn."

He is very much aware of the connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbor's corn also improves.

So it is in other dimensions. Those who choose to be at peace must help their neighbors to be at peace. Those who choose to live well must help others to live well, for the value of a life is measured by the lives it touches. And those who choose to be happy must help others to find happiness for the welfare of each is bound up with the welfare of all.

Damn, I'm reading things that are irrelevant to SPM....

Time

It's moving slowly, taunting me that although there is only 13 days to the end of SPM, it's gonna move so damn slow until nanoseconds seem like millenniums. Or maybe attoseconds.

I still remember In the English exam, it was 2 hours 15 minutes long, yet, I finished it within 1 hour and a few minutes.

I was about to sleep like I always do in my exams. But then I thought, this is SPM, don't play play la.

So I checked my answers, every single question, double-check, triple-check, quadruple-check, and when I was done, I looked at my watch.

Ugh, only 5 minutes have passed. Evil time.

Then I remembered that after this, it will be hell, Sejarah is coming up.

So I tried to recall everything I memorized, based on the ramalan by a Kasturi history teacher gave by Phun.

After recalling those things that now is deleted off my brain, I looked at my watch feeling good because they're still in my brain that time, and again, only 5 minutes passed.

One more hour!

I slept through it, waking up from time to time, seeing that nobody left early, then went back to sleep.

Then time decided to be evil again. It hastened up, and after memorizing half a topic, it's time for Sejarah already.

Luckily, some of the ramalans kena. =D

Time may be evil to me, but luck is kind to me. =D

---

It's gonna be painful to reply them at that small box, so I'll do it here instead.

Yj: thanks for the luck, I definitely need 'em. And yup, that's a binary code.

VaNeSSa: haha, looks like Phun was right. Early reopening. And yes, that orange thing is MSN.

Fattychick: Geng la, can ramal. But K-ekonomi leh? K-masyarakat leh?? XD

Concentration.....<50%

Not talking about Chemistry here.

It's just that I cannot concentrate on history.

I would go on asking weird question that definitely won't come out in SPM.

For example:

Why would the Jews(Yahudi) at Madinah gladly acknowledge Nabi Muhammad as their ruler? They even let them change the name of the city from Yathrib to Madinah.

The Arabs who converted into Islam at Madinah invited the Islams to migrate to Madinah. Where did all the extra houses and food came from if the Jews are the one controlling the economy?

I can't stop thinking of other things...

Graduated yesterday.

Let's see a few pics of my graduation.

Kai Yun and Wei Gee

It was quite good, I didn't have any problems with it.

The 10 Brothers.

Group picture.

Chhin Chee Chwen's freakish arm.

If you look closely, you can see a Sejarah textbook on the bed. If you look even more closely, you will see a flash of orange at bottom part of the screen of the laptop to the left. What does that flash of orange imply? Think for yourself.

FYI, no Nasi Lemak was involved in the posting of this post.^^
