Bak kut teh....at 0200!!

I had just finished another round of DOTA, i think it's my 4th or 5th of the night im not sure. The clock showed 0200 and i was ready to hit the covers and had already conquered the flight of stairs when i saw b4 me..... my dad who had woke up.

Just b4 that, my mom walked passed me and w/o shifting her glance said " want to go for supper ?" It was so soft that i barely caught it and was wondering why she was asking when she has just brought Chai Chai out to poo poo.

So when i saw my dad, he just asked if i would like to go for bak kut teh. I think he expected a yes. And i did, w/o hesistating altho i was friggin sleepy. Bro and sis tagged along altho bro said no at 1st. Why would he say no to bak kut teh?

I drove our fiat ulysse there, i think im becoming my family's driver. It's almost always me who drives. The shops on Jln raja laut and it serves fantastic bak kut teh. But u should only go there at about 1 or 2 coz that's when the soup's best!!

We ordered 6 tau fu poks, 1 'fa yuk' and 1 'pai kuat chi'. I consumed 2 bowls of rice albeit with objections from my mom. She's always like that. Hahaha. Go there if not for the bak kut teh, it's for the tau fu poks coz it's really uberly ultimately Deelicious!!! By the time we're thru it was already 0330. And i went to bed straight afters. DAMN, gonna get fat!

But it's worth it! If u hv the time and the urge! Go ahead and eat there. It's just along jln raja laut, directly infront of a bus stop. You cant miss it!!

Taiwan..... Unfascinating!!

Jd and Absolut from the airport! Duty free.. rm 88 and rm 60 each.. CHEAP. But my friend said Absolut in Langkawi cost just rm 37! Wth

Last nite in kaoshiong and they brought us to a bridge to watch ppl board boats. As if we hv nthg better to do. It was friggin cold!

This statue is s'pose to be a fish changing into a dragon. Dont see any transformation tho.

Big temple opposite the spring pavillion. Dont know the name, cant read chinese!

Enter through the dragon's mouth and exit thru the tigers!! We didnt climb up the pagoda andi blame the tour guide who was rushing us. It's also called the spring pavillion if im not misaken.

Flowers in Fu lung sha temple ( not sure) but it's huge.

That's me with the giant buddha statue. Around the garden there are hundreds of human-sized buddha made of pvc i think. It's hollow and there a Do Not Touch Sign.

Lunch in Tainan. The foods were Deeelicious!

Motorcycles everywhere! Statistics from tour guide there's 88 motorcycles for every 100 persons.

Tried solero shot? This is higher.

The diving machine! It stopped there for 2 secs to let u 'admire' the view b4 going off!

Strawberries in, well a strawberry farm! Sweet and a lil sour. Still tastes good!

Sui loong pau in taiwan. My 1st was in HK and it was delicious. This was almost as good. Almost.

Night market in taiwan!! Look at the people!!! ONLY 1 friggin hour. Bought NOTHING!!! @#%%

A doorknocker in the chiang kai shek memorial. We spent an hour here.

Group picture! All 44 of em.

Me, my parents with their friends and their son han. Asshole's only 16!

National museum. Apparently b4 Mao zhi dong died or smth he whisked alot of historical items here from China. I wonder why. We ONLY spent an hour here.

Chiang kai shek memorial. Yes we went there at nite. Another hour here.

My mom in the Martyr's museum.

Martyr's memorial. Entrance to all of the....plats?

2 guards guarding the entrace to smth. Are not allowed to even step on the stairs! WTH's inside!!

At the gates of the Martyr's museum. My parents and I! =)

Taipei 101. Named thus for it has 101 floors.

Parents in a shopping complex next to 101. Much like KlCC but they have better foods in their food courts!!

"Oh the fish ball soup here is very nice. You all need to try it" says the tour guide. Conclusion: Nthg special just that it's bigger than average. This is in Jiufen.

4 diff types of Fu Yi. We take this with our porridge! Very nice bought a afew home.


My parents... Look at my dad! Always eating no wonder his tummy is growing bigger & bigger!



Smth's not right in this picture.

Scenery in Jiufen. The story goes that last time there was 9 families here and 10 on the other side of the mountain. So the supply porters just called the places jiufen ( supply for 9) and shifen (for 10) and the name has stuck til now.

We reached Taipei on the 22nd at 2200 hrs and went to hv a heavy supper. Reached the Imperial hotel as 2330. Wake up call was designated at 0630. On the 1st nite i was bored and ventured out alone at 0130. It was crazy as the girls were still shopping at that time and activities ceased just a lil. Got my hands on fried chicken liver, Pig skin and a green seaweed thingy called hai smth.

On our 1st day we went to Jiufen then we went to 101. Nthg spectacular. Our KLCC is much grandier! (nationalism.. LOL) After that we went to the Marty's museum b4 having lunch. Then we went to the National Museum and in the evening to the chiang kai sek memorial and to the night markets. Se men ting and the other 1 shih-li. Arrived back at the hotel at 2300 smth.

The next day (24th!) we head to taichung. Highlight of the day was the Jian-hu shan theme park which have one of the biggest ferris wheel i've seen. It takes roughly 'bout 45 mins to complete one full circle. We had a one of a kind xmas eve dinner. Open aired and all the food served was a lil cold! Was acting macho at that time and refused to bring down my pullover and boy did i suffered. Had beer and played about. Xmas spirit was about and everyone started singing carols. I just sat there and listened!! XD At about 2130 we went to Fong Chia night market. Bought nthg except for a stick of chinese sausage, rice in sausage shape and yam bubble tea (communication error).

25th was spent mostly on the bus where we departed from taichung to tainan where we had a special lunch ( pic above). Then we head to kaoshiung city whr we visited the spring & autumn pavillions and the dragon tiger pagoda. Beautiful! B4 that, we visited fo kuan shan, a huge temple. The tour guide wanted some comission and brought us to a pearl shop afterwards. There was a class whr we all attended listening to stuffs about pearls i think. Couldnt understand!!! At night, he brought us over to the Love river. It was so cold yet i could still see taiwanese girls with short skirts or short pants.

Woke up at 0430 to get dressed b4 heading down to the lobby to get our packed lunch! Consist of a hard boiled big, ham sandwich with the ham the size of credit card and a banana! Of all things, a banana! Left for the airport at 0530 arriving at 0600-0630. Checked in and boarded the plane at 0800. Goodbye taiwan and home to malaysia!!

Oh, pics are from the last day to the 1st!!

BACK!!

Arrived at home at around 1600 after a flight from KAOSHIUNG to KLIA connecting to K.K.. Slept roughly thru the whole flights except for the 2 meals and shots of brandy cum talking cock with han who had vodka.

At the duty free shop we bought 2 bottles of DOM (for mom) a bottle of Absolut Mandarin (sis) and J.D. (me). Total cost = RM360.. DIRT CHEAP!!!!

I just read the news where an earthquake measuring 7.2 on the richter scale struck just off the south coast of taiwan with a 6.7 felt in taipei. It occured roughly at around 1300 where i think im like a few thousand feet in the air.

I wonder what it would be like to live thru an earthquake. I've seen what it could do on tv and out of curiosity, i would like to experience one myself....alone. Wouldnt want any1 close to me to get in harms way. I wonder how i would handle the situation where it's chaotic and dangerous. Would i scour away and hide myself in a sanctuary? Or would i brave it fearlessly handing a helping hand to those in need? I dont know. I cant say u would run away nor can am i 100% sure that i'll stay and help. I cant say i'll remain calm nor am i sure that i'll panic. Human behaviour is unpredictable in desperate times and heroes in peacetime might turn out to be cowards and those deemed useless to be heroes.

Alas, i guess we'll only know when it happens.

Hope there wasnt much dmg done to the citizens of taiwan and to our brothers in JOHOR, i hope the flood would cease and life for them would go on normally. GOD BLESS!!!

Chi Ge Zhi Dou??

I'll be leaving for taiwan now. I'll be spending my xmas there with a bunch of old ppl. It should be the same as last yr but i was in macau and had fancy and iris with their 2 cousin (cute) with me. I just hope they have smth special there. Wont be in Taipei for xmas eve tho like i wasnt in hong kong last yr. Bosch is cheap!!

The sole problem i'll be facing is.... communicating with the locals. I am a banana. No denying that. So i guess all i'll be asking for is the price and if the food is nice. Fantastic!!

Hmmm...hopefully the trip wont be too bad or boring but since im in a new place, there's so much to see and so much to learn. I'll take lots of pics and upload it provided i can find that friggin cable -_-... Anyways, Cheers!

Oh yea


MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!!!

I'll be back for new yrs.... DONT WRY!!!

Imam club? Seriously?

It was in the papers a few days back I think. Where the local imam’s of the state of kelantan decided it was time for them to allow their 18 yr olds to embrace clubbing. So they created a club I think they called it ‘imam’ club or smth. I forgot.

It sounds normal, well except for the ‘imam’ part (actually the more I think of it, it sounds more wrong now). Anyway, so what’s truly special ‘bout this club and it seriously changed the whole meaning of clubbing is that it’ll be segregated…. According to gender!

Yeap! The boys will be dancing with the boys and the girls will be dancing with the imams!! Just kidding, they’ll be dancing with ppl of the same gender. So what bout the guys who wants to pick up chix? Or chix who wanan pick up guys? I think they have to do it at the back alley or smth. But they have to be careful tho, islamic police might just send em to prison for breach of some syariah law thingy.

Why cant those legislators think up smth useful instead of smth like ‘imam’ club. What the hell, ppl go to clubs to have some fun with their friends and mingle around. They want to mix with the opposite sex else why would they get all dressed up for it?

This is hilarious and a laughing stock. It’s both stupid and impractical. And I for one will nvr go into it. What ‘bout you?

Unfair. Downright Unfair!

Sunday mornings are…..dreamy. More often than not those dreams are brought well into the afternoon. On occasions where my stomach’s growling for food will I wake up a lil earlier for b’fast. Today was no diff, except that at 10 those bastards were at it again. This time the drilling was directly opposite of our wall and the noise from the drilling can be heard loudly. I grunted, tossed and turned and refused to even open my eyes! Close to me I can vaguely hear my bro doing the same stuff.
By the time I did open my eyes, it was already 1310. Parents were out having lunch with my aunts but there was b’fast on the table. Prawn mee..yum yum!
Threw myself at the com after bfast but no1 was online. Surfed bbc and smth about darfur or sudan. Cant rmbr much. Then came my bro, holding smth in his hands which a big grin on his face. He always has that grin when he has smth to brag about!
He opened the box and slowly and carefully brought the item out. An ipod video. A black ipod video which he said costs around 900 bucks. He then placed it on the table infront of me and plugged in a cable, to charge it. Blardy hell, cant he use the laptop for it?
I, who’s phone was just conked up yet couldn’t afford to buy myself a new phone nor persuade my parents to buy one for me there my bro was brandishing his new ipod. WTF is wrong with this world? It’s so unfair. I think my parents gives him too much money. I think they should divert some of it to ME!
As of right now, my wallets empty and I cant even afford to go to mamak! I need MONEY!!!

Leech.... XD

My parents have a policy of not giving allowance during holidays. They seem to think that I wouldn’t need any since im not going to sch. Am I expected to stay home everyday for the whole period of holidays? Apparently they think so.

So whenever I wanna hang out with my friends I have to ask cash from my parents. My mom’s cool and hands it to me easily while my dad makes me beg for it.

And I hate begging. But what am I to do? I need the cash! Maybe I should consider getting a part time job then I can both hv money from the job and leech from my parents which means twice the amount of money for me!!

But then again, I think I’ll just stick to leeching. It’s much more fun compared to actually earning it!!

Buffalo beaten by an insect!

Im typing this with my bowels screaming to be released from all the chilli I ate in the afternoon coupled with a heavy dinner and top it off with bee hon soaked in oil for supper. So I guess some shit ass chemical reaction is taking place as we speak. But I think I can hold it in a lil more, im a lil adapt at it already since, well, I had plenty of experience. =)
Dengue fever seems like an historic disease to me. I mean, it’s so harmless that it needn’t be taken note of. Alas, bro’s infected with it and was admitted to hosp. today. If he had only listened to mom or be like me and drink lots & lots of water, he’ll save a few thousand bucks… maybe for me to spend? Anyway, spent 4 hrs there watching tv and just being there. It doesn’t really matter if u don’t hv anything to say or and jokes to share, the presence counts most. Well, it would be at least for me.
So we left bro there to fend the monsters under his bed alone at about 1230 hrs. Sis just couldn’t shut up bout ghost and supernatural beings and bout her ‘encounters’ during her last hosp. stay. It would’ve been really entertaining if some1 was to fall for it but we all know it’s bullshit. He’s gonna be alrite, heck he’s 4 yrs my senior he should be able to handle these kind of things. Unless of coz, some ass wearing hosp. gowns walks into his room holding is head on his left hand and his eyeballs and his right hand then we hv a problem.
Come to think of it, I hv nvr been admitted to a hosp. at least not that I know of. I’ve always regarded myself as possessing wolverine healing powers where any injuries or sickness that has befallen me will be healed by itself and I’ll recover faster than the average Joe. I guess when u feel that u’re better, u are recovering faster than if u were to think that u’re sick.
I wonder how it is like spending a nite in a hosp. room alone and sick as a dog. It would be a new experience that I wouldn’t mind trying. Hmmm, guess im stupid for cursing me that I’ll be consign to a hosp. bed….someday. But, since I’ve nvr tried it b4, it would satisfy my curiosity.
Well bro, hahhaha serve u right u fat shit. Take the time to rest and slim down like everyone said u would. Hahaha.. like what dad said, “ A buffalo taken down by a small lil mosquito.” Speedy recovery bro!! Cheers!

A kid...nevertheless

I rose from my bed with a struggle. Awoken by the sound of drilling, my body refuses to admit that sleeping time has been cut w/o prior notice. I went downstairs expecting to see breakfast or at least some kind of food on the table but I was only too hopeful.
There stood in front of me a kid of barely 9 yrs old running around playing with chai chai. I couldn’t help but smile. My dad was on the comp thus I trodded to the couch. I see my sis on the phone whilst my bro was sleeping like a dog. He is sick as a dog anyway. I slouched on the couch and tried to regain my dream. Alas, blardy drilling! Can’t they start a lil later?
I witnessed an innocent child armed with nthg but his imagination holding what would be, pikachu and bamboo sticks. He is a soldier and chai chai’s the enemy he’s about to slay! Just as the final blow was to be made, chai chai scurried towards my dad. His own sanctuary while the kid, saddened to be unable to slay his enemy retreated towards the sanctum that was the sofa. I just smiled…reminiscing.
After both recuperated, the duel begin again. A tug-o-war soon ensued. The enemy was trying to devour his prey while the soldier is pulling it away from it’s teeth. He pulled and pulled but to no avail. But he would not give up, instead he tried even harder to save it. Alas, with a hard tug, chai chai won!
He returned to his place, defeated but not w/o spirit. After gaining strength, he dashed towards his enemy once again. This scenario continued for some time and all the while I was smiling. How childish can be be? Armed with nthg but his imagination he reminds me of……me.

In an island which we cant get out of.....yet!

Humans are one of the evolutionary success stories with the ability to think and speak. With these special attributes, we were assigned the duty of upholding and safekeeping the world and to care for the various species that inhibits the world. However, in our quest for technological advancements, we have neglected to consider the effects of our actions on Mother Nature.
We are suffocating ourselves with our daily carbon emission. If nthg is done now, we will be the cause of our own demise! World governments notably the EU have already done their part why administering carbon trading and are trying their best to meet to Kyoto protocol.
So what can normal citizens do? Since we burn efuel to get electricity and power our cars, it is only fit if we were to replace them with renewable and non-polluting energies. For homes, we can go solar which are getting cheaper and more efficiently yearly. Our cars (which are major carbon emitters) should be replaced with those of smart cars, hybrid cars and etc. Smart cars and hybrid cars run partially on electric power which could be recharged at new electrical point. There are also hydrogen powered engines of BMW which have 2 fuel tanks – one on normal fuel and one on hydrogen fuel-. They are only minor steps towards automobiles which are fully independent of hydrocarbon fuels. Yet, w/o these minor steps, we would we end up?
I’m half way thru convincing my dad to set up solar panels in our home (currently undergoing renovation). We Malaysians live in the tropics which are bountiful in sunlight and our rivers are designed for hydroelectric generation. We have monsoon seasons which make wind a feasible choice of energy. Yet, since we all seem to be apathetic bout nature and constantly deceiving ourselves that the world will last forever, I do not see much activity to promote renewable energy here.
We should bear in mind that we all live in an island and this is an island which we hv not yet found a way out of and may be out last stronghold. Go green people!

"HCL is an asid." "No! It's Happy cocking and laughing."

Institution of learning is a place where people learn smth on a certain subject from certain ppl. Lower six has official ended with the last extra class held today. It was held continuously for 2 weeks with physics taking the 1st and chem covering the 2nd. Classes start at 8 and last for a duration of 4 hours with a half an hour break. It would have been useful, really, if only attention was paid.
Physics was well….physics. Who would dare interrupt loo’s class? Well, we are talking bout looney so it’s normal that classes went normally. Chem however, is a totally diff story. Maybe it’s because the teacher’s not good enough. Maybe, it’s because I got lazy (Hmmm..wait. I got lazy from the start). It prolly was because my peers were of bad influence and that we all were just uninterested.
I’m always late for chem… 15 mins the least 45 mins the most. I wouldn’t hv missed anything, for I was expecting to gain anything. With the teacher forking out words of knowledge diligently in front to those students who were copying diligently in the front rows with theirs ears perked up to pick up any special words or special meaning words which might enable them to score in the exams. Perfect! Exactly how a classroom should be.
Look towards the back of the class however and the sight is hilariously identical. Books lay open on the table, pens/pencil lying around on top of full scrap paper – apparently to copy notes. Apparently! - But the books are turned to the wrong page or even better, closed. The papers are untouched and bursts of laughter are heard in intervals accompanied by sudden “What kinds”! And “Cockstories”. Push it a lil more and fuck, skank and whore seems to be a necessity in every sentence. Oh, if u still didn’t know, the word fuck can act as a noun, verb, adverb or an adjective. E.g “ Fuck u, u fucking fucker”. Caution is needed when choosing to use these words. Occasional glares and stares and disapproving looks might be tuned towards the speaker.
I have learned nthg from these extra classes (Chem) thus I don’t deem it as very useful. But this is all due to my willingness to forsake my studies for those minutes of joy and my eagerness to hv fun and im sure that this will all come back to bite me in the ass in the future. Change is needed. =)

Help Needed!!

Hmmm.... i need some help. When i look at my blog, i cant help but feel a lil disappointed. It looks so boring and ill-planned. It couldnt be helped tho. Maybe i should've chosen another blog provider where everything is pre-planned and set up is just a click away. But no! I wanted to be smart and create my own blog from scratch. It didnt work out as how i wanted it to be.
Thus now, im screaming for help to enchance my blog appearance. Since im a nuthead when it comes to programming and i can make no sense out of HTML codes and causes me to wtf everytime i tried to change. As u can see, my blog's plain..period. The colours not exciting and the ads are boring. There are no designs to date and my sidebar is at the bottom ( i dont know how to bring it up.. tried many times tho).
So if there's anyone that can help me and willing to spend numerous hours teaching me how to do it - prolly takes more like a few weeks to knock it in my head - Please tell me or send me an e-mail, comment or w/e. Thank you beforehand.

A football team!

Today was one of those days where waking up appears to be a struggle. It's hard enough that i went to bed at 0430 hrs, i was woken up at 8.30. That's 4 hours less than my normal sleeping time!! Apparently, my sis's bf neglected to answer his phone which kept on ringing. I had an urge to smack his phone right into his face but remembered last min that he is my sis's bf and there'll be serious repercussions. So i just set me face on my pillow and cover my ears. It woudl've been more effective if i just went to sleep on the couch in the hall, but i just refused to rise. Apparently i figured i would collapse and die if i rose from my bed. I just stayed on and rolled about trying to figure out the name of the ringtone.
And w/o me knowing, it was already 1130 and i need to shower. Dad was getting pissy as he thought we were late for our 1200 lunch for my cousin's baby full moon. And since i was still sleeping and the nearest target to him, i faced the brunt of his pissy-ness. The lunch was mundane......boring to say the least. However, the sight of babies just melts my heart. They're so small and fragile, needless to say so very the cute and adorable!! With their innocent eyes and hands so small, they look and touch at things which tickles their curiosity. A sudden chuckle follwed with a smile makes the crowd go awww. Babies.... im gonna hv a dozen of em in the future!
And the rest of my day was spent on a couch dreaming of scarlett johansson... XD

Need it to vacate!

I had planned to go over to the registry dept. to get my passport done today. Apparently im going to spend my xmas away from kl again. It's already been 2 yrs since i last celebrated xmas here with my friends but im not complaining much since im gonna get to pick up some taiwanese chix this yr ;). Anyway, things didnt go as planned. Heck, i'd been planning to make my passport since last friday yet im here blogging bout not getting it done.
Anyway, instead of going to the reg. dept., i went to choose tiles for my house with my family in cheras. Boy was it tiring! My dad was being cheap as he refused to use quality and overly expensive tiles going instead for mid-range and cheaper tiles. Of coz, my bro, sis & i were there to counter his rigor of cheapness. So most of our tiles will be from white horse and mml, brands that i've never heard nor seen before. Tiles are just, well....tiles rite? What's so hard about choosing the material that u're going to walk on until the next movers comes along?
We'll be using the same marble floor as b4 and the new tiles will just be for the kitchen, 2nd floor and toilets. For the kitchen, we kids wanted some design for the floor but dad said it wasnt IN. Wth..... he's being cheap but wants to be stylish too!! After arguing for some time, we gave up and went with some purplish and red, not-too-smooth surface tiles w/ no design. It cant be too smooth as it might be slippery and the colour was such coz that's the best looking colour for that range of tiles there is.
I had wanted black floor tiles for my room. It looked good and had a nice feel. My sis also felt the same thus she wanted the same floor tiles for her room. But i aint gonna let no1 take the same colour that i was, so another 'debate' of who saw what 1st and who chose what 1st ensued. Half way thru, dad potong-ed out stim by saying it's too dark and he will not allow it. So much for i chose the tiles 1st. The ever-emollient-grandmaster-guru was taking none of our persuading and cajoling and he stood firm w/ HIS choice. Which was both dull and boring =.= !!
Much fun was to come when choosing tiles for the toilets. Since im gonna sleep in the same room w/ my bro, i followed w/e he said. Yea rite. The original tiles was a 2-tiered-coloured tile of white and dary grey. I was gonna have none of that! Then my bro decided it was too dark. I agreed and he chose a lighter shade of grey where i went over to the woody look. I didnt feel much for dark colours in the bathroom. I just didnt seem to feel rite when u're on the bowl and releasing the 'heaviest thing in the world' ( according to ching ju =.=) in a dark coloured background. A lighter colour will generate the perfect atmosphere for bowel movement. Bro agreed with me altho i dont think he did w/ my reasoning and we went with the woody coloured tile.
After finishing choosing the tiles, we went to have lunch which was my initial motive when i went to my dad's office. Oh, need i state that my dad and sis went to the same shop to select tiles for the same purpose 2 days b4. And apparently my dad was contemplating if he wants to go back there to tmrw to choose tiles- maybe for the same rooms, maybe not-. There goes my plan to get my passport done again.

What Could've been...

It was announced that we’ll be having cooking comp today and preparations were made. However, half the no. of rovers had go for some jati diri shit and the other half started giving excuses to not come for it. Fine, we still had 2 hopefuls who we thought would come. However, ying ling text-ed nicks last min saying she couldn’t make it and we couldn’t even detect sharifah’s scent. So what can 4 scouters do?

We start off by starting a fire. See the 2 bricks?

Allows air flow and the pan to be placed on top!

A bigger fire! Well, the bigger the better aint it? Besides, it makes the cooking way much easier.

What u see is that u get. We didnt bring enough ingredients but we made do with what we have. Salt, cabbage and some beans. Added also.... EGGS!!

So how do cook the rice w/o a rice cooker? Simple. 1) build fire. 2) wash rice and pan. 3) Place rice into pan and pan over the fire. 4) Get a banana leaf to act as the lid!! Caution, banana leaf is flammable..

Our way of opening can foods w/o a can opener! ( It's MY idea) Get a hammer and a flat headed screwdriver and start hammering.

It's almost like the government. 1 person to do the job. 1 person to advise. Another to look and the last one to take pictures to be posted in the papers - in this case blogged- !

PRISTOOo!!! Our meal. Consists of Friend rice with veggie's, cabbage friend with carrot and green beans, red beans with egg, egg ( again =.=) and chopped chicken....with yes u guessed it, EGGS!

Nicks and danny. Ghey

Me and liks. Check out the look on liks's face. Ghey x10!

My ROVERS.... u gals see what u've missed out on? Not only was the food delicious, the process of cooking it was fun too!! So what can 4 scouters with few ingredients do? We cook up a wonder! =)

CHEERS!!!

P.s. to my rovers: Come for meetings!

Going Down Fighting!

When problems arise, it normally causes frustration. When that problem is hard or cannot be solved, the frustration boils up to anger. More often then not, this causes the person to quit trying solving the problem. But there are some who wouldn’t give up at all cost. The will continue to fight every battle until the war is won….or lost thoroughly. This inability to give up or let go could be both good & bad.
I am an asshole, for I belong to the group that just wouldn’t give up. No matter how bleak the situation looks, I somehow will find smth to push me to just fight that little bit longer. For I hold on to the belief that if I do not give up, I still have the chance to succeed and to achieve what I desire. With this belief, I harp on things that matters to me. Clinging on to them like a lost child who found his mom. Sometimes it produces beautiful results, other times I crash and burn.
It’s crappy to think of ppl that I’ve hurt or disappointed. It sucks when ppl place high hopes on me and I couldn’t live up to it. I needn’t go very far for an example. My parents have always aspired for me to get good results. They are not hoping for fabulous results like all A’s although it would be fantastic if I could. Nevertheless, when I presented to them my report card for my finals, they weren’t pleased. I could sniff a hint of disappointment in their voice but I could smell anger too. Altho they still managed to maintain their composure, it can’t be mistaken.
Anyhow, I know I’ve done badly and I too am angry with myself. The ultimate competition is with urself and it seems that I always seem to lose to my other half. Thru yrs of gaming, I’ve gained the ability of not being able to concentrate on my studies. Apparently when I open books, I get stunned, net or even lulled to sleep. It is a problem which is getting worse and is depressing. Even more so since my ultimate responsibility now, is to study.
But this doesn’t mean I should give up rite? After all, I’ve taken the 1st step of acknowledging that I have a problem. Now I just have to continue waging war for I might have lost the battle but the war is not over yet. But even if it is, I’ll continue fighting for after all, I am an asshole.

It's all for the future.....

When one is propelled into power, there is much that is needed to be done. Responsibilities to bear and decisions to made be it wise or unwise. There is often a hierarchy where the most powerful does not mingle or have contact with the superiorly inferior subjects. However, when those in btw does not or rather, could not do the jobs that were assigned to them, should those at the top not begin to have direct contact with those at the bottom and thus overriding the middle class? Or should they advice and maybe replace those middle classmen with more eligible ones?
Either approach causes much problems and matters worsen when a problem pops up b4 the previous problem is solved. As I’ve stated in my previous post(s), we had decided to directly oversee the moulding of the lower class overselves. The middle class has proven to be inept at controlling the lower class and in dire need of help.
We came up with a few guidelines and rules for the remaining weeks of sr. It was agreed upon by myself and liks w/o much contention from the rest. It would seem that they couldn’t care much. But if they could only see that if we, together with the form 4’s fail to mould the sr’s, we will be overloaded with responsibilities next year. We have STPM to study for, but we cannot afford to neglect next yr’s scouting term. And if the sr’s could not be transformed into proper seniors, who can we depend on to do the work? Are we, form 6’s t go around asking for sponsorship? Or do we want to stay back till late at nite to build gadgets. Hmmm, we wouldn’t really know unless we don’t hv any seniors to begin with next yr.
So we’ve decided that there will not be whacking on the 1st week of our takeover. Furthermore, daily reports will be toned down. That is, during tues, thurs and sats, there will not be any physical contact and push-ups will be to the minimum. Assignments will also be reduced to the extent of which cannot be known but reduced nonetheless. Seniors who order breakfast will have to pay for their meal and activities will be held daily. Also, on the 1st week, all activities will be unity based for that’s what I see that is lacking most.
I am actually reluctant to change much to sr month for I believe that it’s the most crucial period for a scout and they have to be best. If it is toned down too much to allow all these pu**ies to join, what will our troop become? Furthermore, will they be able to handle tough situations or will they opt to quit and just run like what they’re doing now? These are serious implications that need to be taken into consideration. Yet, any changes are that going to be made can only be made thus so when we’re already running the show not while we’re at the sidelines watching. GOD SPEED!!

Where art thou?

Saturday’s agenda can be a drag if you’ve had a wild nite. The feeling of laziness creeps in slowly and will scheme ways to ignore our zeal and make us just stay home and sleep. But no matter how hard I partied the nite b4, I will always be there for sat agendas albeit late sometimes. So I wake up early and drive to sch expecting to see at least 15 boy scouts, 8 rovers and 5 SR’s! Alas, it was not to be. Ytd, I saw bout 10 maybe 12 boy scouts, 3 miserably rovers out of 12 and 1 eff-ing SR!
We had Base Games and it was going to be fun. Provided we had enough scouts for it. We had 3 rovers (Barathi, Wen Yi & Ying Ling), and so we continued with Base Games. There are 6 bases namely Bottle, human pyramid, kim’s game, rope, ice and mines. Bottle is where scouts use ropes to get bottle(s) out from an area. Where the bottle might be placed on a chair, table or on the floor and they cant get within 5 feet of the bottle. Human pyramid requires them to uhh,well from human pyramid with the topmost person writing the patrol’s name on the wall with chalk. Higher u go, the better u are =). Kim’s game is just memorizing and in rope, they have to make a 5-pointed star with a long rope. Difficulty: All but one is blindfolded and the one w/o the blind out is the coordinator where he/she will give orders to the others to move. Scouts are required to dip their hands/arms into a bucket of water and collect 3 one cent coins. The bucket is half-filled with ice and water, and salt. And for mines, one member is blindfolded and the rest of the patrol is to guide him/her thru the maze. It is not easy!
Thru all these, the 3 of em showed tremendous team spirit and enthusiasm. Altho w/ only 3, they didn’t complain much. There was the occasionally rant bout getting darker. Don’t they know that morning sunlight is good for their health? Tsk tsk. Anyway, I truly appreciated for them coming for scouts even when all their friends jacked. My respect for them has been elevated! Keep up the good work girls; maybe we’ll promote you to acting patrol leaders? Well, just maybe!
Oh, my *insert maligning word* Sr’s. Where art thou` ytd? Knoweth not, thou` had agenda? Knoweth not, thou` presence was needed? But know this, you are not just embarrassing yourself, you are tarnishing the image of the troop. And there are many of us who will move mountains to preserve it.

Sr's...you're a disgrace!!

When I joined scouts in form 2, it was only because my friends lured me in. It was fun, no doubt. But I wasn’t as enthusiastic bout it during that time than I was now. I just didn’t feel that tingling feeling that just calls out to me to go for scouts. Form 3 was no different where I was present for meetings bout twice a month. It sure as hell was shitty to be my patrol leader.
Then there was SR. It was going to be held after PMR and we were all asking each other if we’re going for it. I remember that I was close to no1 during form 3. But what I do remember was Danny coming up to me asking if I will join SR. I do not know. So I asked in return if he was joining and who else will be. “He: Dunno” After pondering thru for about 2 mins…max, I said yeah, I will join.
There was no turning back. There wasn’t a reason to do so. I had the best 2 yrs of my life in sch after that which I shared with 10 other assholes. After SR, I went on to become SPL and the secretary. This achieved by me who wasn’t even active during my form 2 and form 3 yrs. Ironic!
Now that I’m in form 6, I’m currently overseeing the SR month with the only other 4 assholes that stayed back for form 6. We are facing problems, it wasn’t new. Just that it’s more severe this year. Attendance is a joke where they will come one day and be absent the next. There are even rumours of quitting.
It’s their fault for acting like girls or maybe it’s just they way they are. But I hold this more to the mistakes of the form 4. Maybe their sr month was screwed up and they weren’t brought up correctly. But their failure only reflects on our inability to pass down traditions and teach the batches after us.
After a meeting held recently, the form 4’s was given until Wednesday to prove that they can handle the sr’s accordingly. If however, they fail and the sr’s attendance and sorts do not improve, we, the form 6’s who was hirheto only arbiters will personally take over the sr. And if I ever were to take over, I’ll make sure the sr’s suffer till they can take no more. Hmmm, but isn’t that what they want?

Weee....fun!!!

Having 6 periods of physics is enough to kill. Actually it would if I paid full attention in class but when u’re in a closed room, with air-conditioning and a boleh-makan bench, it’s quite impossible to resist drooling over the table. But the second my head touches the table; looney will go “Wooi Hong, Don’t sleep!” And she will then go on for a minute with some nagging which will be followed up by some smart remarks which in turn will generate either another minute of nagging or the class to burst in laughter.
But that’s insignificant really. What is, is when we’re running (metaphorically) back to class to embrace the tenderness of our chicken rice which was calling out to us so badly since 1100. As we’re descending down the stairs, Chai had that sudden urge that often is the spark of a stupid action to slide down the railing. Hmmm, what’s so dangerous? He might just fall and break his neck or smth rite? Nthg serious, really. And I digress. So, while he was giving his butt a massage, Nicks apparently too had a sudden urge that often is the spark to do smth stupid to give him a lil boost. Maybe he thought that giving him a lil extra speed would generate extra excitement for him.
Sometimes, no harm is done when dumb actions are enacted. Sometimes, but not today! Chai fell, and he fell gracefully with his whole body spread over the staircase. I was laughing, and so was aaron. That came to an abrupt end when we saw his wrist. It wasn’t normal. The part of his radius bone near the carpal bone (wrist) was protruding slightly, no, a lot, no, slightly. Okay it was protruding out. It wasn’t pretty but we thought it to be just a dislocation. So we decided to get my car which was in the carpark behind the form 4 block but we couldn’t find the guard to get the gate open. Thankfully, Khai zen parked his car near the form 6 block and we took his car to send Chai to the hospital.
We wanted to send him to tung shin(nearest hosp) but apparently it is a private hosp. and we will hv to pay to admit him there. So we detoured to HUKM in BTR with aaron leading the way. I’ve nvr been to HUKM b4 less so about going there. So we got him registered and the 2 helpers was cracking jokes bout how it happened. Anyway, he got reeled into the emergency ward and nicks followed him in.
We waited for about 20 mins b4 heading to the cafeteria with athur’s sis who kzen contacted. Apparently chai was just beginning to get his X-ray when arthur’s sis went in to check on him on our behalf. He still had to have his ‘dislocation’ corrected and then plastered were he will then undergo another X-ray. After bout 15 mins in the café, we went back to the waiting area to await the arrival of Chai’s mom. She was very grateful that we sent him there and thanked us. We failed to mention that one of us was the culprit to her son’s misery and I wonder if well get the same treatment if we did? I think we would, for parents are such that they don’t care how it happened just so that it did and they will do everything in their power to relief as much as possible the pain of their child.
Apparently our assumptions were wrong. It wasn’t a dislocation. In fact, he broke 2 bones on his wrist and will have to undergo surgery. His mom moved him to tung shin hosp. which I don’t know why for HUKM looks way much better.
All I can say is that it was a freak accident. It looked like nthg to me but in fact was more serious than it looks. No1 is to be blamed but CHAI AND NICKS (Yes, nicks, feel bad!!) At least this will teach all of us a lesson to not push when some1’s sliding down the railing or maybe….to not slide down railings at all? Let’s all wish Chai a speedy recovery so that he can slide down railings soon!! Cheers!

Dilemma that is Iraq

Iraq is an example of a failed democracy state. No, it wasn’t even a democratic state to begin with. After the ‘liberation’ of Iraq from the iron clad fist of Saddam Hussein, there’s been nthg but bloodshed. The strife between the sunni insurgents and shia militias is aggravated by a weak and powerless government.
After 3 yrs with the situation deteriorating rather than improving, what options are left and which is the most feasible? Should the US cut and run? Or should they stay and try to win over the insurgents? The argument for the US to cut and run is that they will cut and run in a few yrs time so what wrong with doing early the inevitable? But then again, how will the world look at the US for doing so? On the other hand, the cost of staying the course will come at the price of men and million of dollars.
For all that, the US should stay in Iraq regardless of the results of the mid-term election. They owe it to themselves and the Iraqi ppl as much to make iraq at least liveable. It is wise to get the cooperation of both Syria and Iran who each supports singly Sunnis and Shias. Their influence is undeniably strong and their ‘advice’ might coerce the militants to give up their arms. Thus, the US should hold talks with iran and Syria even if the nuclea negotiations with iran falls apart. It is for the best.
Furthermore, the U.S. with their military might need to stop covering in their bunkers and counter the insurgencies. It will be dangerous and gruesome but there is no other way to flush out the terrorist. Like they use to say “The best defense is a good offense.”
Moreover, it is well-known that the Iraqi police, controlled by the Internal ministry is deeply infiltrated by the militants who sometimes assist or even perpetuate themselves in the tit-for-tat killings btw sunnis and shias. Yet, militants are still being integrated into the police force. Stricter screenings is needed for applicants and Al-maliki needs to have the willingness to persecute the guilty.
Persevere, persevere and persevere. I believe that the US cannot afford to cut and run. They are better off staying and iraq combating insurgents. It’s already been 3 yrs and who knows how long it might take to flush away the insurgents, 2, 3 maybe 5. But the US should stay for as long as it takes. We cannot afford insurgents taking over and turning iraq into a terrorist stronghold. Persevere!

Amex!!

After months of pestering and cajoling, my parents finally agreed to get me one. They wouldn’t at 1st for they’re afraid that I’ll lose it. I don’t blame them, im famous for losing things..but that’s in the past!
Actually I’ve already submitted the form 2 months ago but when I called them up 2 days ago, they said they did not receive it. So I requested for the form to be fax-ed over to me. Alas, Since being taken over by Maybank, I think it a necessity for their service to sux, hmm, all local banks service sux? Thus, I dialed them up ytd, and they – miraculously – fax-ed the form there and then. Hmmm, what happened to the required sucky service?
So I filled up the form perfectly and fax-ed it over with a photostated copy of my I.c. After bout 10 mins, a person from their office called saying that I hv to fax over my photostated I.c. again but in a lighter tone. I when back to the fax machine and tried to fiddle around finding for the tone settings but only found a bunch of other buttons which seems to be of no use.
My mom’s going to fax over my I.c. for me today and I hope she doesn’t forget. Guess I’ll just hv to call her in sch to remind her! =)
I just home that my Amex plat sup card will be here pronto! Cheers!!
( This should be what it looks like. Nice aint it?? ^^)

Hate to Lose!

Losing doesn’t come easy to me. Heck, I don’t think losing comes easy to any1. Can some1 will be so carefree as to not mind losing in a hard fought match or a game where that person was slated to win yet went on to lose? I hate losing, period. Everything that I participate in, I wanna win and I wanna win grandly. But more often than not I get disappointed, not because I wasn’t good, I just wasn’t good enough or I didn’t put in that extra gear that could’ve brought home the game.
I play basketball after sch every Friday, and the teams are almost always roughly the same every week. Some days we win and some days we don’t. When I lose the game, it always seems to be my fault when I lose, hmmmm, who else is there to blame? So on the drive home, I recall what happened during the game and find faults where I think I could’ve done better. This will continue right into the bathroom and after ceasing to stop only when im satisfied that I did perfom badly or made some mistakes that I shouldn’t hv.
Today was bad. It sucked. It was inter-class football and my class was rooted to be 1 of the best. Rooted… apparently they took in the performance of all other players except the keeper. Let in 2 goals in the 1st match which we went on to win. However, during the opening 5 mins of the 2nd match, 2 goals whizzed past me which I hv to admit that could’ve been safe. Before I entered the pitch, I was like “hey, being a keeper isn’t that hard rite? Besides, im a basketball player so keeping should come easy for me” It was NOT !!!! I don’t know, I think I have ballbeingkickedhardcomingtowardsmePhobia.
The blame was mine and mine alone to bear for the loss for if I;ve been a lil better, we would’ve won. Alas, I’ll just hv to suck it up and try to be better the next time. Hmm, shouldn’t that be what we all should be doing when we feel defeated? Suck it up, look up to the sky and never ever give up!! Cheers!

(RED)

While surfing through blogs ytd, i came across a (RED)Blog. I've actually came across is brand - RED- b4 in a magazine. They brand names who create special products where a percentage of the profits from the sale of those products are donated to funds to battle AIDS, hiv and etc.
In fact, i've signed up to be a member of RED. The subscription is actually for notice of upcoming products and updates. It's a new thing going on and just stared in the US, thus im not sure if it's available here. Brand names like Georgio Armani, Converse, GAP, American Express, and Apple has a line of RED products. So what's RED??



I think u'll get the idea of (RED) after reading the manifesto above. So let's do the RED thing!!!

Cancer is Hereditary

Paid a visit recently to my grandma’s home and met up with a few aunties of mine. So they were chatting with my parents and I was sitting there listening. After a few mundane topics, it swerved into a relative of mine being diagnosed with cancer. Apparently he had colon cancer for a few months now but he didn’t know until recently.
Cancer is hereditary. Well, it’s one of the causes. Actually I didn’t know cancer can be inherited. I know it was a mutation of cells but I always thought it to be due to some radiation or some environment thingy. And I told myself that I have to find out bout that.
So, after a week or so, I finally brought myself to confirm if cancer is really hereditary. So I googled: ‘is cancer hereditary’ and clicked the 1st link that came up which brought me here. It wasn’t very informative but I did get to know that some cancer is inherited and colon cancer is 1 of it.
Anyway, colon cancer isn’t a sure death, heck I don’t any cancer patients now can be consigned as ‘confirmed to die’. The tremendous improvement in medicine and health care has greatly reduced the mortality rate of any disease.
My uncle’s getting better now, from what I hear from my mom. It was said that the cancer has spread to the liver but I didn’t hear any of that. Maybe it didn’t. Good for him and I wish him a speedy recovery.

Devil In disguise??

Technological advancements has brought us wonders. Recently there was a report that scientist had managed to invent an invisibility cloak. It isnt capable of making any1 or anything invisible to the naked eye yet, but it managed to deceive microwave detectors. You can read it more here. IMHO, the invention of this invisibilty cloak is a devil in disguise. The owner of the tech will be able to use it in devious and evil ways. Imagine military airplanes being able to destroy cities w/o being detected. Battleships moving across ocens w/o even causing a blib. Will we not then have cause our own destruction or of those of our fellow earthlings. This is only 1 prospect of the many that the invisibility cloak can be MISUSED !!! Caution is duly needed!!

Grist Of The Mill!!!!

In 1943, Winston Churchill said “The empires of the future will be empires of the mind”. How true. A few yrs back, the world was running out of jobs. Graduates filed in the hundreds to get a job as rubbish collectors. However, the current situation is direct opposite. We are now in a crisis of diminishing talent. The % of the workforce is due to drop in a couple of yrs and there are not enough replacements to go around. When I say talent, I don’t just mean people who score high GPA’s or are hardworking. They possess special skills or they have a knack for the job. With thus current situation, the government should come out from it’s hole and embrace the talents that are being snatched up every yr.
The quota sys reserves about 50% of the places for designated ppl. Most of em either have no interest in the course their given or they could not cope. In short, they are excess baggage. No, im not saying that ALL of em are inferior, it’s just that MOST of them are. It might be the fact that they are privileged and pampered by the government thus they are apathetic bout their edu. Heck, who would give a damn when you’re able to live off the government?
It’s bad enough that they waste seats, it’s worse when other students who are brighter, smarter and more intelligent could not get seats just because they don’t a bin in their name. These talents are neglected and unappreciated. So they feel down and sad and ultimately betrayed. And when foreign uni’s approach them with open arms, they jump to them like a lost kid who found his parents. And for the sake of these argument, these talented ppl graduate at the top of the class, they wont return to work here, they’ll contribute their skills to foreign companies which contributes to foreign countries. Now, we all know who loses out don’t we?
What has to be done is, for the quota not to be eliminated – that would make those privileged feel not so special anymore now wont we?- but for it to be reduced. By how much, should be decided by the gov but the reduction shouldn’t be less than 10%. It’s high time that the gov starts to acknowledge the fact that it needs more talent than shallow and apathetic people to spur the countries development.
Intelligent thought and pragmatism is needed to approach this matter. But what can I expect from ppl for are thinking of licensing turtle eggs (which are endangered) in a pretext of reducing the number of eggs being sold and to reduce poaching. But hey, what do I know? Im just a racist bas***d!!!! Cheers!!!

Exams....Bummer!!

Exams were invented to torture and punish us. It was also to make us feel bad of ourselves esp when you don’t get the results u want. Well, that’s what I thought in the past. But I’ve actually overcome that and enjoy the examination period.
There’s no teaching during that period thus I don’t have to listen to old and boring babbling. This will in turn refrain me from getting bored and letting my mind wander to the end of the world. Altho, I don’t considered that a very bad thing.
It’s a very good competition arena with every1 involved not just 10 players on the court. People can compete and challenge other people to do better. And I love competing. Altho I don’t very much like the idea of losing. However, as much as I like to excel in my studies, it’s been deteriorating real badly for the past 2 yrs and is condemned to worsen unless I do smth bout it. Bummer!
So I just had my finals, well not exactly. I still have maths and chem. 1 on Monday and then im thru. Sitting for the papers are 1 thing and getting the results back is another. If you’ve good results, wonderful! You’re happy and ppl around you are happy. But if u did badly, it kinda sucks. Anyway, I don’t think I’ll get the results I hoped coz I did rather badly. LOL, let’s just wait and see!!
Yea, and that’s the reason I haven’t been posting lately, finals..finals..finals. Anyway, after this I’ll have time and maybe taking smth different than the norm. Think my next post will be on Tuesday, Monday nite if im up for it. Anyway, Cheers! And Good Luck to any1 who’s having exams too! =)

Not For The Faint Hearted

What’s your fucking name? What the hell are you doing here? Go home..go home and enjoy ur life after PMR. Then 2 guys ordered me to do 20 push ups on the spot. As I was going down, the other 2 contradicts the former and told me to stand up straight. I was in a dilemma. What do I do? Then they started pushing me around and telling me to fuck the hell off from the place. Tears started running down my cheeks. I decided to just stand there. Well, that’s the intro for my SR. This yrs, sr is no different. With the usually screaming and shouting right at their faces. Eight of them came but how many will last to become a senior of Victoria scout group?
The day starts at 0830 in sch wearing sch uni. For any late comers, those already present are punished for it. Furthermore, imperfect attire will be met will a flurry of reprimanding and push ups. Assignments are given daily and number around 20-30. Failure to complete them w/o a valid reason will in turn cause every1 to be punished.
Physical training is scheduled for the 1st week. Everyday at 2.30 when the sun is shining brightly, we are ordered to run 10-15 rounds around school, 500 push ups and if they’re in a happy mood, 600, 150-200 sit ups and 30-50 chin ups. Sounds fun doesn’t it? And it is! I enjoyed it a lot, although some others seem to dread it. Bummer.
Thus, it’s safe to say that the 1st week is the toughest and most critical. For those who couldn’t handle themselves, they will choose to abandon their brothers and quit. Those who could not channel their pressure and\or anger will also leave their brothers to their fate. We had 14 on the 1st day, however after a week, the number had already dropped to 11.
SR is an orientation period that is vital to change the form 3’s boyscout’s attitude into a senior’s. They have to be adept at handling problems and is able to make good decisions under pressure. It is demanding and hard and the easiest way to get through it is by leaning to ur fellow brothers. It need not be all that scary and strenuous. I went through mine laughing. Altho I put it due to me laughing at the sight of vivek getting
punched in the stomach and how his tummy seems to wobble.
Through sr, I gained a lot of scouting knowledge. I learned to obey orders that are given but to disobey them if I regard them as wrong or stupid. My confidence improved tremendously after sr and it might be due to the fact that I have to perform embarrassing things during that time. I was also taught how to handle difficult problems and the ability to make good decisions under pressure. I’d also fostered a bond btw fellow sr’s that is so strong and lasting that it is the envy of ppl in my sch.
It’s hoped that all 8 of em this yr can last to become full-fletch senior scouts and that they will obtain what I’ve acquired or maybe to even gain smth that I might have missed out. Cheers and good luck!

Romance of Three Kingdoms

I've added a link to threekingdoms.com under ROTK, which is a website containing the novel of Romance of Tthree Kingdoms. It's a novel based on an era in ancient china where the region was split into 3 warring kingdoms. It's not too bad a novel but there's so many characters and events. There's about 120 chapters where some chapters are long, others are quite short. It's interesting if you're one who enjoy war and literature( yeah, they have poems and sorts). I've just only started but it has piqued my interest so much that i almost couldnt stop reading it. Tsk tsk, had to study for exams!! However, the standard of english of this novel isnt as good for it's a translation from the original chinese text. Anyway, i seriously recommend this to those who have time on their hands. Cheers!

U dont have a BIN !!!!

An average man’s action is influence by both his intelligence and emotions. A leader follower can only follow whereas a leader is responsible for himself and foremost his platoon therefore citing the importance of making decisions after much thought and planning. That’s no so average already now is it?
Prefects are but normal students. They go to the same school, study in the same class, play on the same field, interact with the same kind of students, breathe the same air and indulge in the same food. So the only thing that differentiates a prefect with a normal student is his uniform? Ironic!
Society expects prefects to be more than an average man with the super-human ability to stay clean –in both thought and deed-, smart and fine all the time. ALL THE TIME! Put aside the fact that they are not so super-human but rather do you think u are capable of doing what u expect them to do?
So when a few of my friends (some which are prefects) were caught one morning coming back to school after breakfast, repercussions were expected. I would’ve joined them myself if I hadn’t go for a talk. It was the 1st week of school, which means orientation, which also means that there are no classes. Canteen food takes a lil time to getting used to for they suck and they suck a lot.
Since they were thought to be more than human, the consequences of their actions were more severe. They were suspended and denied of their privilege…for now. Then after a few months of negotiating and indecisions from the admin, a letter was presented sacking them for sure and they are expected to revert to normal schoolboy uniforms within a few days.
I am however curious and this matter has prick my brain for awhile. Why was the school so harsh? I agree with the suspension however but not with the sacking. Many prefects were caught flying b4 and they were let off with only a warning. It prolly didn’t help their case for not having a Bin in their name but that can’t be helped. Besides, they were good prefects who did they job well and are also top-students in their classes. It must be that stupid Bin!!!
The school seems to hv forgotten the contributions they have performed and hog onto this 1 small mistake as an excuse to sack them. Maybe because there were too many prefects therefore tricking the admin to think they can offload some w/o threatening to ability of the prefects board. With spurred another thought, how the fuck are they going to run the school when capable people are being offloaded? Furthermore, the new candidates that were chosen are a disgrace albeit not all of em but most of em. It causes worry for these new tp’s are the kind u would expect to be carrying a teacher’s ass and lick when instructed to. They are the kind where they wouldn’t dare argue with a teacher and submissive. Tragic…tragic..tragic! Hmmmph, it seems that all those ass carrying and licking has done them much good.
It’s tragic and sad that capable people are sent away and the replacements are…..not up to standard? Gone are the days where prefects instil fear and discipline in the students with just their presence. Gone also are the days where students respect and obey a prefect’s command. Maybe im just overly pessimistic or that im pissed with the stupidity of some. However, when a not so average man makes a mistake, he’s not that super-human after all now is he? Oh well, i hope that it'll be a lesson not only to my friends but also the school and their ' intelligent and all-knowing adults. '

In a Quandary?

I entered chemistry with hopes of getting some close eye but alas she was in a pissy mood and decided to give a test. (She wasn’t pissy actually I just couldn’t find a word to describe.) Anyway, it’s a test where one can discuss with friends or refer books so one have to wonder the seriousness of it. So I was breezing thru the questions – I would’ve if I studied- when smth caught my eye in a form of an Indian and a Chinese walking towards me. They were my form 4’s (scouts). And I was informed that I was needed in the principal’s office. Well jolly good day for me!!!
Apparently all this fuss was due to a scene which was enacted during RA in this yr’s campfire: I drove the truck in (slowly) and stop at the topmost NE corner of the arena where there will be a fight scene btw 2 gangstas. 1 of em will die and will be positioned directly in the middle of the truck which I will then reverse over (slowly) and making a getaway.
The meeting was btw me, form 4’s (they’re the leaders of the current term), our 2 teacher advisers, sch’s senior asst. of co-cu and the principal himself. This was all a manifestation from a letter sent by an unknown parent of an unknown child to the sch which was fwd to the Edu ministry and the Edu minister himself to condemn our performance on that day. Yea, it seems that this matter is more than an itch on ur buttocks.
The 1st few minutes were used to explain what actually occurred and brooding over what we should’ve done instead. Hmmm, quite the productive! The ‘intelligent and all-knowing’ adults soon started insulting our intelligence and if we had our brains in ur asses. Therefore we voiced up and defended – tried – our actions.
The most productive part of the meeting was when we all started discussing how to tackle is problem together. We were asked to write reports, gathered up the letters and written approvals, and pictured. They also asked for my driving license. Hmm, I wonder why?
The school has threatened that if it doesn’t go nicely, they will abolish the troop. Looking back now, it does seem stupid. Many things could’ve gone wrong but thank god it didn’t. It was dangerous to say the least but I have no regrets. If only you ‘intelligent and all-knowing’ adults could see things from our pov then maybe u will understand a lil. Or maybe you won’t, for u might be too intelligent for it, eh?

Vini, Vindi, Vinci...NOT!!!

It takes awhile to admit that you have failed. As much as I hate to admit, I do not like losing. After every defeat, I take some time to think about what had happened and why did I not win. More often than not I blame myself rather than the circumstances.
A few backs I stated that I was gonna try the 21 day theory where it was said that any activity will become an addiction if indulged upon for 21 days….in a row. So I set myself to wake up at 6 in the morning everyday and work the treadmill. After school I would study for at least an hour or so. Everyday…for 21 days!
Well I did pretty good for the first week. No problemo and I was feeling rather content with myself. Alas everything crumbled on the 8th day. I failed to wake up although I have a friggin loud alarm clock and my maid to wake up personally. Sure I look like I was awake for that particular minute but a few secs after my maid left and snoozing my alarm clock, I crumble back behind the sheets.
It’s hard! And I have no1 else to blame but me. Well duhh, this all revolves around me! Anyway I reasoned this to my lack of discipline and zeal. Try as I may but I will succumb to my wants rather than my rationale. = A defeat is a defeat and I have to go now to lick my wounds and contemplate what went wrong. But I shall try to conquer this again….end year hols maybe? Well…just MAYBE!!

Where's L6BF?

I was feeling rather confident that day. I ascended the flight of stairs like I would usually and when I reached the 3rd floor, 2 friends were talking to each other on the corridor. Hmm, nthg peculiar there so I took a right and entered thru the door. I slide off the sling from my shoulders and took the bag by it’s handle and was about to let it off on the table when I noticed smth different.
The tables were all arranged thus that 5 tables were in a column where as in my class, there were only 2 tables to 1 column and there were 4 columns. Secondly, all the tables there were blue and new but tables in my class are old and shabby and made up of orange, brown and blue. So hmmm…..WEIRD!
Oblivious, I managed to look up and omgwtfinthisoworldhappened? The girls in my class were, uh… different! Did an alien invasion occur where they turn every1 into smth else? I was blur and spotted a blur look. So I did what I thought was the best thing to do, I turned and left. But I went only a few ft from my s’posed ‘class’ and asked Weng Chuan and Koi Yi where the heck did my class fly to. I’ll show it to u in a dialogue form.

Me : “Where’s L6BF?”
WC : *points up* “upstairs?”
Me : *blur look* ( I thought im on the 3rd floor so upstairs meant that it’s the roof and I thought he was fooling me) So I asked again. “Where’s L6bf ?”
WC : *points up(again)* “Upstairs la”
Me : *look at both of em stupidly and with a blur look*
KY : "This is the 2nd floor la!"
Me : "Shit!"


The convo lasted for about 2 mins which meant that the ppl in the class prolly stared at me for 2 mins and I spotted the blur look for 2 mins and WC and KY thinking im friggin blur for 2 mins. So I ran up another flight of stairs after telling them to keep it a secret.
Hmmm, they were quite good at keeping secrets. Altho I did tell my buds what happened but soon after, every1 seems to know bout it. And my classmates were talking and laughing bout that matter. Hmmm, well the sacrifices I make to make my classmates happy! ;)
Full of confidence I came and full of confidence I went home. Whispers could be heard while walking to my car. “Where is l6bf?...this is 2nd floor la”. Oh well, at least now I know for sure that I have to ascend 6 flight of stairs b4 reaching my classroom!! Cheers!!!

Hey, wanna see my baby? It's in the thrash bin!

A baby was found inside a thrash bin by a lady who was throwing away from thrash. Hmmm…. So a baby is like thrash eh? After so many episodes of soaps and series, you would think that humans have learnt to treasure life. Being alive is in itself a gift what more so when u’re able to bring life to earth!
The culprit was caught and omgcanyoubelieveit the mother was a 15 yr old who dropped out of school when she found herself to be pregnant. But society has an inclination to pity the sometimes stupid and weaker sex. No no, don’t classify this as another sexist comment…..yet. Every1 is blaming the guy for being irresponsible, inhumane and all sorts that will stereotype him as an evil person. Why not? He ran away (or will) after planting his fuckin’ seed with her fuckin egg. He is outright selfish and should be put into prison 1st for being an asshole and 2nd for engaging in under-age sex.
However, lets take a step back and analyze the situation for a moment. It takes two to tango, so it’s takes to 2 hv intercourse. If there’s only 1 party it’s called masturbation. So if the guy is blamed for being an ass, the girl should be blamed for being a whore. Hmmm… no, a stupid idiotic whore. Studies have shown that girls who stay longer in school have a lesser chance of becoming pregnant. It would seem that our education system is doing helluva job in bring knowledge and awareness. So another lesson learnt huh girls? Stay in school!!
Oh! Oh! I know another reason why girls allow themselves to be fucked at such a young age. They think if they have sex with their boyfriends, the guy would love them more. Awww… How sweet and naïve u are! Am I the only one who thinks that that is stupid? I aint gonna brood on this matter but I would like to state that If the eel doesn’t like the cave that as has found, he’s gonna leave and find another cave that is more to his liking.
God has given u brains not just to fill up ur empty head but for u to make good use of it. So please, I beg you to think before u act and brood over the consequences of ur actions. God bless!

Gogogo... Storm the Front!!1

Safety off, 10 secs… 3, 2, 1 Game on! We all dashed in front in an effort to capture the flag 1st. But alas we were too late and soon we were hampered by heavy fire. Blasted things, don’t they ever run out of ammo? I stood to take aim but PEK!! Im hit! Im hit and was commanded to get out of the arena. The pain could be felt through my thick jeans. But I was laughing to myself. Damn that was fun!!
Hmmm… but what’s so fun about being shot at and enduring pain u might think? Well I cant even begin to describe it but while pellets are whizzing past u and ur adrenaline is pumping, the situations gets intense and exciting!! Hmmm.. u prolly wouldn’t believe what I told you. So u gotta try it yourself!!
It gets better if you have more people. I went with 17 others so it’s 9 a side. It was good but I’ll be more exciting if we had more people which in turn means more pellets flying at any given time. Try dodging em =).Oh, it’s not a very expensive sport either. With a body vest and helmet and an additional 4000 pellets, we only paid Rm 55! And the game lasted for 2 ½ hours. Where else can u find something so cheap yet exciting that can involve a lot of people? For those who played b4 come share ur experience with me. For those who haven’t, what are u waiting for? Get a group of friends and go paintball-ing! Hmmm.. call me along too =). That is all for now. Cheers

Honest... I promise!

There was this blind guy who had a girlfriend. He loves nothing but her and likes no1 else. One day, the girls asks the guy how much he loved her. He replied in an encouraging tone that he will marry her when he's able to see.
Then one day, the doctor came with good news. There was a donor who donated his eyes and it is suitable for the guy. The operation was scheduled for in a few days time and the guy underwent the surgery successfully. After the surgery, the guy was shocked to find that his girlfriend was blind. The girl non-chalantly asked " Will u still marry me now ?" The guy replied coldy "NO!" The girl just smiled and said to him " It's alrite, just take care of my eyes"

1st of 21 days!!

It is said that after 21-days, the things you do during that period becomes an addiction. I think that it requires you to perform the same activities everyday throughout that period although the timing of it may or may not vary. If one could perform the same activities on the same time for 3 weeks, he’s inhuman!
So I’ve brought it to myself to prove this ‘theory’. In fact, I’ve already started…today. I woke up at 0600, or tried to. I snoozed for another 15 mins b4 going down to the hall. 1st thing I did was to get the treadmill running b4 turning on my comp and play some music. My original intentions were to listen to BBC Hardtalk while jogging but listening to some guy interviewing some other guy doesn’t sound as appealing as pop stars singing in tune.
I worked the treadmill for 15 mins before heading to the bathroom to….. w\e people do in the toilet. Change into my sch uni and leave the house at 0710 hrs. Arrive at sch at 0725 today. Force myself to go thru the mundane and boring school hours till 1400 hrs. Return home and take my lunch. Maybe steal a catnap before studying. I planned to study for at least 1 hour or more per day, every day. Nevertheless, I only survived 50 mins and it was only on one subject. Bloody Hell, I aint good at this self-studying thing.
Dinner is usually at 1930 or 2000. Then I’ll indulge myself in a little comp time. Am currently playing Rome Total War: Barbarian invasion and boy oh boy has it got my hooked. Besides having hordes invading my territory, I had to deal with rebellion and betrayal. Anyway, after relaxing myself, I plan to study for another hour so or rather, the most probable scenario is me slouching on the sofa watching tv.
Before hitting the covers, I would read Time and/or The Economist mags which I’ve subscribed. Somehow, politics and real-world issues interest me a lot. Sadly, more than textbooks and notepads do. So this would be my routine for the next 20-days and in gods will shall I succeed in going thru the whole period w/o faltering. I’ve also heard that the 1st few and the last remaining days are the easiest where as days 10-16 are the hardest. I hope that after this 21-day ‘experiment’ studying will come as easy as a routine. Cheers!! =)
