It’s impressive to see an ape or a monkey using tools almost man-made like overcoming man-made challenges which were made by….man to gauge the animal’s ability to think if even possible like a man. It’s impressive for we nvr imagine they could.
It is equally fascinating if not least terrifying to see man defying gravity acting like a monkey. To be able to climb up the petronas twin towers with only his hands maybe he’s more fated to be a monkey. Or that his genes were mixed up. But then again for that to happen, im accusing an ape of making his mom pregnant or that an ape gave birth to him…. In which I won’t since that’s overly obscene and inappropriate.
Well according to Darwin’s theory of evolution, we evolved from apes. Well they are the most similar from the animal kingdom. Imagine some Halfof guy coming up with a theory that we evolved from rats. Now, it aint very nice being somewhat related to rodents now iszit? Apes stand out from the rest of the animals as in their can think and have a decodable language.
But I don’t understand what’s so great about being a close relative to an animal. Is it much more ‘ying’ then being just human? Maybe coz we’re so bored that we resort to finding some hairy and rough animal to compare with thus showing our superiority and thus reaffirming the belief that we should rule the world not the other way around.
However, if indeed we evolved from apes, then why iszit that we have not witness an ape evolving to one of us? It couldn’t be that evolutions stops once a modern human was born. Heck, evolution cant even tell a diff between an ass and a horse. It just keep evolving blindly( actually no, it’s proven that evolution is very picky but what the heck) creating some new organism all the time. SO WHERE IS THE APE EVOLVING INTO A HUMAN?

Woots
I had never fathomed it to be this difficult. No, I did not even know. This is smth which I’ve embarked upon, smth new. I never liked jumping into the darkness, im those who like to know what’s in my hand and what I can do with it. But apparently once in awhile, a leap of faith is required eh?
I’ve consulted many and apparently I aint good at this. Lolz, lemme rephrase; I aint not good, I suck! ;). Apparently skill is required, so is sincerity and perseverance. All of which I have! But my skill is shabby, sincerity concealed and I hang on too long a lil too late.
I was cajoled into it. Well I think deep down I had wanted to do it but having neither the guts nor the know-hows, I needed a push…from someone, somethings. So as crappy as it is and as suspenseful as it was, im already in and there’s no turning back. I wonder what will happen?

I dunno what this is...
Time passes and things either grow or just fade away. Whatever that leaves an imprint on us is definitely worth remembering. It is always sweeter when we rekindle old memories than when living through it. It’s funny but we always hv the tendency to look back yet sometimes just fail to acknowledge the importance of that one moment.

Dont Bribe Me!
I was pancing-ed to liks's house at around 8 to do get the proposal for carnival done. I think i was pancing-ed. There was work and then there were stories bout the publisher and TIME's. Fine!
It was about 11 when we left and once again i was pancing-ed to send jovi home. So we were only bout 500m away from liks house when a police vehicle stopped next to us on the traffic light.
Nicks : Eh, jovi go pancing them!
Jovi : Ouh...
Nicks : *Waves his hand* Lime puluh ringgit! Wooo
Then they flashed us. Okay sonnuvab*tches we thought, stop playing with ur bright light. Then came another flash and we thought okay.
Jovi : Flash flash, later sound siren!
Just as the traffic light turned green came the holy blue lights. __ u nicks and jovi!
Apparently my brake light wasnt working and so was my rear light on the right. Bagus, am i s'pose to know that it aint working? Oh, and where was my P stickers? Prolly up someone's ass or smth for it wasnt on my car. But then again, i nvr did stick any P stickers.
So they wanted to saman! Good! and they asked for my wallet. *ting* * runs to car* *looks inside car* *scratches head*
me : uhh, bang tarak wallet la.... tak bawa!
Good, then they continues naming what i did wrong plus since no P and no license or IC.. 2 samans! Bagus! Then jovi gave his IC and so did nicks..... i think it was just for sho' and that sonnuvab*tch walks to his vehicle and pretends to key in smth.
We both continued bickering actually no, the police and jovi continued bickering with the police kept on saying, "macam mana?" with jovi apologising and saying we were just students and that we got back from our friend's place.
Basket just kept smiling and asking, "macam mana?" Finally i think he thought we didnt get the hint when we just didnt wanna bribe his fucking ass to timbaktu. He points to me and said, "Saya tanya dia, macam mana skrang?" and added " kamu belanja la!" Money scheming bastard!
me : Har? bang tolong la.. pelajar je.
I murmured 20 bucks! i think he didnt see or hear it coz he still kept up with his, "Macam mana?" I stole a glance at nicks who also murmured 20 and it was set.
Me and nicks : Uhh bang, 20 puluh je la, 10 from dia( points to nicks) 10 from dia ( points to jovi).
Sonnuvab*tch : hmm... belanja la! Boleh la!
We then walked to the front and i took 20 from nicks. I think put in on my palm and with the handshake gesture gave the despo the RM20 and took back both nicks and jovi's IC.
Irony was, the was a sticker on the windscreen which rang, " DONT BRIBE ME!"
Goooooooooooooooood!

Flair...where art thou' ?
As I lay on my bed with arms spread across the covers, I shut my eyes and it was quiet. I would of fallen asleep as soon as I laid save not from the thought of something or someone. Everything was whizzing in which complicates things further, through all the clutter were some ideas and some just plain crap.
Then it hit me, the core idea for which I will base my article from. I had not known why’d I even promised wai fun to write one for me. I hv not the commitment to write one. Alas, a promise is a promise and I will present her an article worthy to be included in the sch mag.
Piece by unsorted piece appeared with the main idea remaining vague…still. But smaller and maybe supporting ideas were creeping in from timbaktu to papua. Lol, if only I had the patience to jot them down and go thru it all, my job would’ve been 70% done. I tried to stay on my bed, but the urge to type it out was overwhelming. I rose and dashed to the comp quickly running Word. I had gone 3 paragraphs when I paused and began reading what I typed.
It was good, it made sense and it sounded almost philosophical. But there was no cohesion. There weren’t any link where they should’ve meshed like clay. It was inconsistent, lines either being too long or too short and too direct. It was CRAP!
My flair for writing seems to be lost in the wilderness in thoughts of her, and failed to return even when I did. I hv to recover it, it’ll take some time but I hv to recover it! The thoughts of her are already making my fingers hesitant and only in her absence can I write an excellent article… and not merely good.

Confused
I quote Barton Blaze, “If you don’t make a choice, the choice chooses you.” Making decisions is a part of our everyday life, from what we choose to eat to when we choose to shit. What we choose to do and what we chose not to. It might come easy, it might be hard but nevertheless you still have to decide when the time is right.
In hindsight, I’ve always known what I’ve wanted and what I need to do to achieve it. Altho, there are times which even if I knew what and how, I just wont. It might be due to my laziness or prolly my foolishness but it was still a decision.
To choose between a and b is quite the different from b and c for each possess different prospects and brings about changes that are surely gonna be different. It might sweep me off my feet or it could tie me down like a house or maybe it wont bring about any changes but only her presence which is more than enough.
Now, “the shield’s heavy and makes his movement wobbly, his helmet suffocating and blocks his view”( I quote the narrator of 300 XD). But unlike leonidas, I kept both my shield and my helmet on which might prove to be a bad decision but it is a decision after all.

Absence
I reason my absence with my lack of initiative to go & purchase a new modem after the old one got struck by lightning. The 1st 2 days were for finger pointing and pushing the blame which i no doubt won since i wasnt even at home that fateful day. It was all you bro.
Then came the time of arguing over who should pay for it and why. Since it was his fault, i very well aint gonna pay jacksh*t. The last 2 modems came out from my own pocket and it's already too much.
So here i am, back from the wilderness!!

Monthly test
The postponement of sports day was the ultimate ‘stim-cutter’ as all the events was done and finished and all that was left was tug-o-war and the announcing of the results. It prolly should be next fri – the date to resume- for monthly test starts tmrw and lasts till thurs.
I am neither ready nor do I hv the heart to take on this test. For the past weeks were a beehive of activity preparing for sports day. Chai and I both committed too much time and effort to sports and for it we sacrificed our studies for this period of time.
Being frank with my mom has always been easy for me. I told her straight up that I’ll flunk this test. She could only manage a sigh and then began rattling off a chain of advice + nag in which my only reply was “….”
It’s not that I did not want to study, it’s just that I seem to prioritize the wrong thing. However, sports day is over and ill hv no excuse to not focus on my studies. Nevertheless, I recognize 2 speed bumps ahead: Treasure hunt and Campfire ’07. All in all, I gotta keep my head above water and prioritize the things that need more attention. After all, it’s my future that im sinking in with now.

Hell 'hath no fury like a woman's scorn!!!
Progress was slow today; the ferris wheel didn’t turn out to be as grand and nice as it was meant to be and we haven’t even start on the ‘tandu’. Altho we stayed till 8 yet not much was accomplished.
Highlights : We sprayed green colour onto rolled up papers and smart as john chai was he refused to put newspapers on the ground b4 spraying. When Pn. Darlilah came, she threatened to send us to bilik semang. Ketara bangga being promoted to head of Sci & maths. With great power comes greater responsibility and now she is responsible over the drain too! How nice!!
Since chai and I were both having ants on our asses, we took the spray can and sprayed P T on pei theng’s car. I then called her out to show her the great art work. Woah…. Hell hath no fury like a woman’s scorn! Her stare seems to pierce thru the eyes and she was pissy. No, VERY PISSED! She has one of those looks which blares out “look im having menstrual pains so im fucking pissy now, messy with me and I’ll spew my juice all over u!” Scary!!!
She didn’t talk nor even look at me and chai for 10-20 mins so I think u understand how grave the situation was. But she was okay after that and started laughing again. Phew...

Tmrw’s gonna be a long day. Since there’s so much left to do, we are planning to stay till we finish em all. Hopefully I don’t have to stay till after 10… I need my SLEEP!

76 pts in......front
“We are leading by 76 points. Even if I lose tug-o-war, house deco and marching, I’ll still be leading by ONE point.” That’s my riposte when I was being bang-ed like crap after a shameful lost in tug-o-war. There were 7 skinny guys + 1 fat one where as our opponent –Rodger- had like 6 fat ones? Anyway, coming in to the competition guns a blazing and beaming with confidence, we were thrashed and kicked out of it with our feet in our mouth. We had livita and flour both which was s’pose to help but alas I guess it all boils down to the combined body mass which Rodger obviously won hands down.
House deco is crappy. I am not the most creative one nor do I have the brightest ideas in design. Also, why the fuck do I hv to do so much work even though im in form 6? Those blardy form 5’s should work harder for their house if they want the bragging rights. Nevertheless, complain I do but work I must. Our theme is 50 yrs of independence and chai and I is in charge of building a ferris wheel and a ‘tandu’ to carry our mascot. God Speed!

Lin Sam Sap Man
A gathering of family members that’s what reunion dinners are. With the old rekindling their love and the youngs building theirs, it’s a very family-ish moment.
Every year my family will prepare the dinner. Rather I think I should say my mom =\. But it’s not like I don’t do anything!! This yr is no diff eventho our house is currently undergoing renovation. Considering the circumstances, it would be decent if some1 offered to hv it in their home for once but since we gotten none and with my dad having the utmost feeling that it’s his responsibility to hold it, we were all put to slavery.
We cooked, cleaned and moved things like we’ve never done b4. Really, I prefer to just coordinate the hard work rather than PERFORMING em. Alas, with the head of slaves working her ass off, im expected to work mine too. Thank you papa for hiring 2 maids! Workload reduced by 40%...
As it was customary, we 3 siblings and dad went to pray to granddad and grand aunt who were cremated in a temple in PJ. Since mom isn’t yap it wasn’t compulsory for her to go and also becoz there’s things to be finished.
Our family’s small with a pax of 14. So even with our house upside down, we can still accommodate every1. We’re having stimboat, like we did last year. It’s less a hassle since mom doesn’t hv to cook all the dishes but just prepare them to be thrown into the pot.
Like as it was before, uncle and his family left right after eating while auntie and her family stayed to chit-chat for a lil while. My 1st cousin’s baby is getting cuter and cuter and the urge to pince his cheek is overwhelming. Apparently he only cries over 3 things: Hunger, hot and sleep. Nice!
Reunion dinner has passed and I’ll be waiting for next yr’s when I again will have to clean, move, climb and work like I hv never done b4. Ahhhh, the things I do for family…

MY Fucking Fault!
My leg hurts like fuck and im walking with a slight limp. I lost in my best event- long jump- by 0.01m. I had nvr imagined such a lost which hurts so much. I had also caused my team the gold medal in the 400m relay. I was the last runner and i received the baton in 1st place. Somehow i just started sprinting for the 1st 250m and just lost steam at the final 150m when i saw ruben in front of me. I was sad/angry... alot of emotions where flying inside me and i was very close to giving up. I could not face my teammates. They had ran with all their might but i had let them down.
I had wanted to cry! And to cry so badly... but the tears just would not flow. I guess i was sad and disappointed but not enough. My hopes of becoming the sportsman of the year had just been crushed on my own doing. I wasnt expecting to win gold for the 400m relay but for long jump, i was aiming to beat the school rec of 6.55m. I did not even come close. It's like i was pierced thru my heart everytime i think bout it but alas, the tears would not come.

Saringan....
Oh the emo-ness, thank god it's gone! pop-ed 8 panadols and a bottle of coke in sch... well at least i wanted to. Took 2 instead and swap the coke for plain water after which was getting a lil drowsy and sleepy. Nevertheless, i couldnt bring myself to sleep in Mr. Thum's class! It's like SO interesting ya know?
I was gelabah and chuak the whole time. Every effort was made to pay attention in class but alas, the mind drifts away. I kept thinking bout what's gonna happen during high jump and triple jump and everytime i try to predict, i foresee myself losing. It made my heart skip a beat everytime since im expecting nthg else but a gold.
The girl's 100m sprint was starting when we were still arguing over how to jump the triple jump. I dont understand how the fella can say his FOUR jumps are correct when the name itself says THREE! If you dont know how, dont do it! Pei theng( thamboo) was 1st for her heats but the unexpected sprinter was ching ju who came in 1st on the 2nd heats which shocked us all. My 1st attempt for triple jump was disappointing only managing 10.10m. A guy went 10.37 while another 11.33. It looked very very bleak at that moment! The pressure was on and the situation tense! Luckily i had many ppl supporting me; chris, theen chuan, jiun kei, ying ling and wen yi! Lolz, bobo was there but im not sure if she supported me or not eh? Let's just take it that she was! =) Anyway, my 2nd jump was alrite- 12.01m- Could've jumped further if i got my footing right but anyways that attempt got me a gold. Happy happy!
Oh, apparently there was a mix up or rather both the captains and teacher was busy baking cake and neglected to send up the list for the girls. So ying ling and bobo from rodger and yee hui from treacher couldnt compete in the 100m and long jump. Pity. And while im talknig bout the girls, our representative from thamboo won gold for the long jump and i got chuen-ed:
me : Did u pass?
P.t. : Har? What pass? I thought they see how far i jumped?
me : =.= kkz. so how far did u jump? 1st place?
chai : who 1st?
she : very near only la, 2nd i think!
Me and chai then went to check and she was 1st instead of 2nd and her distance was 3.10m instead of very near only. Since high jump was not due to start yet we lepak-ed there a lil longer. One thing we all noticed was that pei theng would run slowly(normal) very relaxed, step on the line and jump. Land on both her feet and then she would just stand and wipe her hands and go sit on the same spot like....... it's a piece of cake and not even a competition.
High jump was boring! Started with 1.35m and every increase was a meagre 0.4m MAX! Come on i can jump over it with my eyes closed with one leg and no hands! We almost always got into a fight with the form 5's when chai chuen-ed 9 an arrogant prick who was talknig too much cock. Ketara the nata ass mental lemah. He went out of the comp at the next jump. I won my 2nd gold with an attempt to try to not break but at least get close to ru-zens record of 1.76m. I could go no further then 1.70m. Wakakaa, got rm 10 from norhayati just like that and i spend the guys on drinks. Thanx for their support!!
Long jump and 4X400m relay will fall on wednesday and hopefull if all goes well, it'll be another 2 golds for me! My quest to become the sportsman of the yr has become very makeable and my chances very bright. And all this because that genius inside of gopi's (my house capt.) decided to play futsal ytd in which he sprained his ankle. Smart! Very smart. There goes his 100m, 200m and w/e he's taking. He better recover in time for the relays coz we really need him. He needs to be smacked for being a smarty pants.

So ying ling and bobo from rodger and yee hui from treacher couldnt compete in the 100m and long jump. Pity. And while im talknig bout the girls, our representative from thamboo won gold for the long jump and i got chuen-ed:
me : Did u pass?
P.t. : Har? What pass? I thought they see how far i jumped?
me : =.= kkz. so how far did u jump? 1st place?
chai : who 1st?
she : very near only la, 2nd i think!
Me and chai then went to check and she was 1st instead of 2nd and her distance was 3.10m instead of very near only. Since high jump was not due to start yet we lepak-ed there a lil longer. One thing we all noticed was that pei theng would run slowly(normal) very relaxed, step on the line and jump. Land on both her feet and then she would just stand and wipe her hands and go sit on the same spot like....... it's a piece of cake and not even a competition.
High jump was boring! Started with 1.35m and every increase was a meagre 0.4m MAX! Come on i can jump over it with my eyes closed with one leg and no hands! We almost always got into a fight with the form 5's when chai chuen-ed 9 an arrogant prick who was talknig too much cock. Ketara the nata ass mental lemah. He went out of the comp at the next jump. I won my 2nd gold with an attempt to try to not break but at least get close to ru-zens record of 1.76m. I could go no further then 1.70m. Wakakaa, got rm 10 from norhayati just like that and i spend the guys on drinks. Thanx for their support!!
Long jump and 4X400m relay will fall on wednesday and hopefull if all goes well, it'll be another 2 golds for me! My quest to become the sportsman of the yr has become very makeable and my chances very bright. And all this because that genius inside of gopi's (my house capt.) decided to play futsal ytd in which he sprained his ankle. Smart! Very smart. There goes his 100m, 200m and w/e he's taking. He better recover in time for the relays coz we really need him. He needs to be smacked for being a smarty pants.

EMO!!!!
Reunions are always a tad scary for us teenagers. Countless times had we been punished by our uncles for misbehaviour or just sheer naughtiness. So whenever we meet them, we put on our guard, change to an obedient \ good person and throw in our best smile.
Okay, im exaggerating! But the tension is doubtless high and we’re expected to bring ourselves properly. Even more so when u’re getting older yr by yr. Nevertheless it’s always fun and burst of laughter could be heard almost unmistakably. On top of that, our cousin’s babies are…… Fucking cute!
Anyway with such good food, I aint complaining much!
Im not feeling good. I hv no fever, my cough’s receding but I still hv my mucus trying to drip of my nose with countless bats in the cave. Im also getting more talkative and nonsensical maybe a lil pissy and down. Signs that I am indeed sick, but im not! I feel like im suffering from a menstrual cycle. But I don’t feel beautiful. (I read somewhr that girls\woman feels they’re the prettiest\sexiest or at least are best dress when they’re hving blood dripping from their vagina.) But im no girl and I DON’T hv period or w/e shit! I just feel like shit and emo since I hv to compete in 2 events tmrw –high jump and triple jump-.
I know that if im not that my best, I cant get the 2 golds that I so badly need. If I cant perform, some random nata shit’s gonna outdo me and steal my fucking medal that should be fucking mine. But then again, I cant blame him for stealing it since it should be partly my fault for losing it.
My mom has this adept ability of putting the blame on my comp. “ See, play so much comp, now ur eyes paining” or “See, hving fever now, play more comp, good! Good!” and the classic after-reportcard-presentation, “Wow, all red? U learnt all this from the comp? Keep it up if u don’t wanna do medicine!”
I’ll always reply with: “…., * walks away*”
I’ll be posting bout how I performed or fall gracefully to the ground tmrw. And if I don’t get my 2 golds tmrw, I prolly will not compete on Wednesday for my long jump and another event! Fuck, I hope that’s just the emo me speaking! BANKAI!!!!! Tensa Zangetsu!!!! OMFG, the emoness or…..periodness!! ZzzZzzZzz

Topsy-turvy
Everything’s a mess! The floors are covered with sand and dust while debris lie everywhere. My dining table is in the living room and my kitchen is current non-existent. My washing machine’s right behind me now and my fridge next to my comp. Boxes are ubiquitous and the only thing working next door in the lights.
The complexity of renovating the house is as intricate as a maths equation. Easy when u hv the formulas and a plan and confusing when u hv not the slightest idea what u’re about to fall upon. With the Chinese new year just around the corner, the pressure is on to at least get the stuffs at their corresponding spots with the air-cond on the walls instead of lying dead in their boxed in my living room.
The new settee wont be in for cny coz there are still walls needed to be taken down with the debris comes dust and sand and that wont go well with the sofa’s now will it?
Oh well, I’ll only hv to live thru it for a couple of weeks since it’s estimated that they’ll finish constructing/de-constructing after cny. Hmmm, I guess cny’s gonna be a lil sandy and dusty this year. At least I hv a new room to cheer about.

....is just another step towards victory
It has never crossed my mind that we were gonna be smacked with 2 consecutive losses on the court today. Our opponents weren’t half as strong yet, we were beaten so easily. Maybe, we aren’t that good after all?
We lost 14-15 to sri sempurna and got thrashed by hartamas. Both in which we could’ve won. If only we fought a lil harder. Lol, loser’s speech! But seriously, these were 2 teams that I had not even considered a threat and I’ve told danny that they’re gonna breeze thru it. I guess my predictions were awry.
I saw many heroes fall today and their leader who broke down mid way thru the game. Too many ppl expected too much from that man and I guess he just couldn’t take it anymore. No1 can be blamed for losing those matches. Nor was it solely one man’s fault. It was a team effort and the whole team was to be blamed. Even we, mere supporters bear responsibility.
The lost was felt by all who had hopes on the team, even those who were in sch cheering our team on. We went down but we down fighting and this is what I enjoy see-ing. Even if defeat was a certainty, I’ll always play to my best and I’ll always push the players to play to their best! It is what we are….players and tears gather as an ode to that. Good jobs guys, u guys did ur best and that’s what’s important.

Itchy ass? Prolly Balls!
Hitherto I have not felt sick after a 400m sprint before. That is up till now. It was 2.30 and we were having burgers and soft drinks b4 house training was to commence. Chai had daging special plus another hot dog while theen chuan had ayam special plus another roti bakar. I sticked to daging special tambah bawang goreng with extra pepper. I just felt like daging-ing at that moment.
Chai suddenly had an urge to shit while me and theen chuan went to play carom. It’s a board game where u use a striker to hit other round shaped seeds into a hole at the 4 corners which I end up losing by 3 seeds. The oor si fella came and joined us with a pungent smell…….of fag. Yeap picture a guy squatting down with shit slowly coming out from his bottom end with a cigarette in btw his fingers. Picture perfect! We played another round of carom which I was leading handsomely. Had to be greedy and in went the strike into the hole thus forfeiting all my points. Good fucking game!
Mr thum was there and I had to show to him that I was present. He made us do long jump just to satisfy his pessimism that we couldn’t do long jump. Dude, lookey here a former gold medalist and u want him to show u if he can QUALIFY? Should that even cross ur mind? Jumped anyway. =S But was he even looking when chai and I did our jumps? NO! apparently asking us to jump was the end of it and he began talking to some kids asking them what they can contribute to the house. Seriously….. NOT BAD !!! Anyway I had wanted to train my jumps. I think im doing about 5.6m’s? I need a 6m jump to confirm my gold medal.
It was about 4 I think maybe earlier and Pn. Norhayati (dedicated –very- teacher) was talking to some boys who refused to run because of some lame ass shit excuse like “aku ada training” It’s only one stupid round around the field and he’s complaining that we wants to train. He needs a stick up his ass! I think chai’s ass was getting itchy or maybe his balls were I don’t know but he wanted to run and he called me along. I wasn’t planning to and refused but he pancing kao. I was obstinate since if I lose to them it’ll be a major loss of face and was about to be the time keeper but he was gonna run with those lame ass kids by himself. So I got pancing-ed.
Off we went after ‘MULA’ and those pesky kids were not bad. They started off quick while chai and i just relaxed keeping apace. 150m in and I was getting impatient. I started sprinting a lil just get them behind my back. I know chai was gonna follow me and soon we were 1st and 2nd. For all their cockstories I thought those kids would be a lil better! Tsk tsk. Anyway, 100m left and the gap was kind of big btw me chai and them. I had no idea why but that brain of mind commanded; “Sprint to the finish” It wasn’t even a competition or time trial. Heck, they weren’t even taking my time.
Hitherto I had nvr vomited or even felt sick after a 400m sprint. Hitherto! The world seemed to spin albeit just a lil and the side of my head was pumping some shit into my brain. It hurt and it hurt bad. Surprisingly chai suffered from the same symptoms. We lied on the grass then went up to the pavilion. The headache and pumping wont go away. It was good after awhile but only if I just lay there. When I sat upright, it would return. Was already feeling nauseous when theen chuan said that sitting upright is better and that to vomit is a good thing which will clear the mind. Bullshit! Puked half a minute after and it did clear up my mind. Water, loads of it with tiny chunks of red shit and onions came spewing out from my mouth with an occasional piece of cabbage tagging along. My burger daging special! BAGUS!!!
That’s about it. I want my burger daging special although maybe I’ll go for the chicken instead this time tambah bawang goreng dan lada lebih!! Oh, oh…..
Teacher wants me to take triple jump but I have not tried it b4 nor do I even know the correct way to do the triple jump. I am taking high and long jump tho. And apparently also 4X100m and 4X400m which she selamba damn confident go put my name. I don’t mind actually! XD. Im still deciding between triple jump or 200m sprint. As of rite now im confirmed of 2 medals and with the relays maybe 2 more so I need 1 more to complete the maximum of 5 medals. I need to check out the competition. Maybe I can become the sportsman of the year on my last sports day. I hope I can! Cheers!

Second To None
Second To None
Standing proud we live as one,
Against the odds we conquer,
Sharing in this legacy,
This brotherhood of unity,
We never fail, upholding the laws
And our traditions,
We’ll take test, together we’ll rise above the rest
We will strive and nvr cease,
To look forward and believe,
WE rise above,
And sail beyond,
Tomorrow and a day,
The spirits in our hearts will never die…
Through that troubled winds that blow
In everything we do,
We’ll remain forever,
Second to None.
Holding to the promise that,
We’ll nvr walk alone,
We join in laughter,
Share in the tears,
We face it all as brothers,
In our hearts,
The flame will not fade into the darkness,
As it burns, we’ll carve our names
In the sands of time,
We will strive and never cease,
To look forward and believe
WE rise above and sail beyond,
Tmrw and a day,
The spirits in our hearts will nvr die,
Throught that troubled winds that blow
In everything we do,
We’ll remain forever Second to None,
WE’ll remain forever Second To None.

House Training
House practice used to be fun with so many friends around to talk cock while training. This yr’s different where so many of us left leaving behind just a handful. There was only 3 ytd me included. The other 2 were chai and jiunk. To my surprise, 2 new guys were also present albeit w/o proper attire. They stayed for quite awhile b4 retreating back to their homes.
Long jump was crazy with the passing mark so f*cking far from the white line. We weren’t convinced that we could pass that. It was actually the same distance as in form 5 but it just seemed a lil bit further to us this time. It may be due to the months of inactivity but still, how can the mark be so far? Can anyone even pass it? Chai and I did, Jiunk was just a lil bit sampah! XD
Since there was only 3 stopwatches, 100m was conducted in groups of 3. Since there’s only 3 form 6’s, that wasn’t a problem. So I took lane 3, Chai on lane 4 and jiunk on lane 5. Gegarisan, sedia mula bla bla and we’re off. Chai seems to be a lil faster in the start but I caught up and overtook him finally. My time was 10.84. Good I guess im gonna represent Malaysia in the Olympics. Stupid timekeeper can even start the stopwatch on time! Bet he was staring at some random girl. Oops I forgot, the girls are so princess-like that they feel uncomfortable with so many ppl looking at them run that they pleaded to have a special training day just for emselves. Tsk tsk, I know u girls are shy and embarrassed that u’ve no assets to show but plz, the only reason why we’re even bothered about u is becoz u might be able to get a medal for our sports house. Don’t think too highly of urselves! Lol… funny ppl!
Oh, throughout the whole training, I felt that ppl were staring at me… notably my buttocks. It hinders the movement of the legs and feels uncomfortable with so many eyes piercing thru the clothing. Yeap, pierced rite thru to my undies. There was quite a hole on my pants which I didn’t notice when I took it out from the closet. Thankfully I was wearing black renoma which was roughly the same black as my pants so I think that shielded some. And…… I only found this out after I arrived at home when I walked past my sis which laughed at me for wearing buttocks exposing clothing. Good! Just Great!

Disdainful
I’ve been planning or at least had some thought about writing this post for a day now. However, every time I completed the 1st sentence, I find myself standing infront of a brick wall. Nevertheless, I am obstinate about writing bout this which drove me go over, below or strafe by that wall. I’m questioning my motives as im typing this down and I am uncertain of the reason why.
I’ve seen ppl acting in ways that I do not approve of. But then again who’s asking for my approval? Nevertheless, when I witness smth that is to my distaste, I will either confront that person or when I don’t feel like doing that, i’ll hv to rant it out here. Like a coward! LOL, some1’s talking bout me rite this moment for im sneezing like mad.
When some1 is given a responsibility, it is expected of him to be diligent and to get his job done. And when he promised to be thus so b4 taking up the post, these expectations are amplified even more so. Thus, when the job’s not done or when he chooses not to, it is not only self-defeating but is also undermining the effort of the team. These are acts of a hypocritical bastard and I do not like hypocrites.

Wong mew choo has created history by being the 1st Malaysian woman to enter the finals of the Malaysian Open. She managed to grab a silver, losing to zhu lin of china who seems to be half-a-class above our girl. Nevertheless she went down fighting and it was a well-earned medal. Congratz!
Right now, our men’s doubles of Koo kien kiat and Tan boon heong are playing against the Indonesians, Tony gunawan and Chandra wijaya in the finals. We have already secured the 1st set(21-15) and with the score 20-18 in the 2nd in our favour. I expect them to secure victory for us. Ahhh, just as I finished typing this, they have already claimed victory. Double joy for us Malaysians!! Cheers!!
ZzZzzz, our shuttlers can speak for nuts! They can play but they blardy hell can handle an interview. Maybe our MBA should consider giving them English lessons! XD XD!!

Merely...... only an actor!
It appears that im no longer allowed to bring my sling bag to school. Somehow living in a democratic country with the said rights of freedom of choice didn’t really turn out to be so. But then again, im still a student in an institution which hv it’s own set of rules or rather it’s disciplinarians who hv so much free time that they sat together to make up new rules. Seriously, it’s okay if it’s at least logical!
So since the ‘rule’ is a dumb one, I aint gonna follow it. Heck, I don’t think any one will. Besides, like what chris offered, those smart alec disciplinarians only told the form 5’s and im a form 6 so im not included. Then there was the no walking thru the quadrangle in fears of getting knocked by a car. Really, I know a student died while crossing the road UNDER a bridge but cars within school compound cant go above 35 so if they do get knocked, they’re just gonna get a bruise. Besides, they hv insurance! This was an old rule which regrettably was no enforced thus not followed so why re-implement it? In an effort to make the students more discipline, they hv also decided to require the boys to put away their utensils after break. This rule is okay and it should be enforced! Oh well, I guess those canteen fellas who so many were hired are just there to sit and serve bad food.
Nevertheless, I’ve witnessed a leader who failed his duty to lead and serve his subordinates. He failed terribly as a leader and I seriously doubt his abilities. With his performance as such, he does not deserve to be what he is. He did not fight for his men nor did he try to. He can just shrug it off as if it’s so trivial.
Furthermore, when a teacher(s) chided that lower forms can be prefects he could only stare at the floor and listen like a kid that just got caught flying. WTF! Being a head boy means u’re given the responsibility and power to act as u seem fit to bring up or at least maintain the school’s status. So, when those assholes suggests crappy ideas, blow ur tip off and bang the shit outta them. Why are u afraid to even voice ur discontent?
Alas, he is one that cannot be replaced for if it could be done, it would’ve been done! Dissent has already risen among the ranks and he would do good to change. And change he must! Unfortunately, what can the crowd expect from a mere coward? It is expected of him to cover in the shadows and pretend, pretend that all is well and hope he will last his term. God Bless!
So since the ‘rule’ is a dumb one, I aint gonna follow it. Heck, I don’t think any one will. Besides, like what chris offered, those smart alec disciplinarians only told the form 5’s and im a form 6 so im not included. Then there was the no walking thru the quadrangle in fears of getting knocked by a car. Really, I know a student died while crossing the road UNDER a bridge but cars within school compound cant go above 35 so if they do get knocked, they’re just gonna get a bruise. Besides, they hv insurance! This was an old rule which regrettably was no enforced thus not followed so why re-implement it? In an effort to make the students more discipline, they hv also decided to require the boys to put away their utensils after break. This rule is okay and it should be enforced! Oh well, I guess those canteen fellas who so many were hired are just there to sit and serve bad food.
Nevertheless, I’ve witnessed a leader who failed his duty to lead and serve his subordinates. He failed terribly as a leader and I seriously doubt his abilities. With his performance as such, he does not deserve to be what he is. He did not fight for his men nor did he try to. He can just shrug it off as if it’s so trivial.
Furthermore, when a teacher(s) chided that lower forms can be prefects he could only stare at the floor and listen like a kid that just got caught flying. WTF! Being a head boy means u’re given the responsibility and power to act as u seem fit to bring up or at least maintain the school’s status. So, when those assholes suggests crappy ideas, blow ur tip off and bang the shit outta them. Why are u afraid to even voice ur discontent?
Alas, he is one that cannot be replaced for if it could be done, it would’ve been done! Dissent has already risen among the ranks and he would do good to change. And change he must! Unfortunately, what can the crowd expect from a mere coward? It is expected of him to cover in the shadows and pretend, pretend that all is well and hope he will last his term. God Bless!

Just one of those days
It was again one of those days where I would like to waste hours engaging in empty conversations. However, there was no1 suitable enough to talk to. So I went to take a ‘nap’ which lasted about 3 and ½ hours.
I have no idea why but I woke up feeling emo for a lil bit. And since I was in the mood my mind was racing thru all the things that went wrong. Matters regarding my studies, sr’s and rovers cloud my thoughts the most. I had no idea why but for that one minute these problems seems paramount to others and in need of attention and to be solved as quickly as possible.
I took a long hot shower to help clear my mind off those thoughts. It always works and I was feeling much relieved after. I guess after all, it’s only just one of those days.
Oh, and let me apologize for not updating my blog much sooner. I had so many things i wanted to blog about but i got lazy and ended up posting nthg.

Worth It?
The coughing has been getting worse and worse. There are times now when I feel like vomiting after each cough and my throat’s burning up. I guess recovery’s gonna be delayed by 2 to 3 days.
I’ve decided to pull out of the basketball team with a heavy heart. There are 8 of us but the current team can only fit 6 more. We do not know who to jack nor how to break it to them. Actually the problem lies on only 1 guy for if we jack him for the new guy, he will period. Mostly with me and I don’t like getting spewed in blood. Now every1’s making problems by saying out of the blue that they don’t wanna play also. What the heck man? They were so enthusiastic bout it when we got to know that we can play yet now they say don’t really wanna play after all? I don’t think im the cause of this domino effect. Damn rite I hope im not!
However, I am gonna start working the treadmill maybe twice or 3 times a week. I’ve gotta train for sports day. Im not sure if there’s space for me for some of the running events as form 5 and 6 are in one category. However I hv no doubt bout medals for long jump and high jump if I just performed like how I did in form 5. Oh well, time will tell and house meeting’s this Friday.
Right now, there’s a more important matter that require more attention than we are giving right now. I’ve asked so many times b4 if we still want to hv the rovers or not but the question seems to get lost in the air everytime. If we want to keep em, we should talk to mr leong no matter how disastrous it might be or go to bp house to get the letter and shit. And if we do not want em, we should blardy hell at least notify them that rovers is no more and they don’t hv to come or hope for meeting. Nevertheless, how many of the 12 girls who were in are still enthusiastic bout it? They’ll prolly come up with lame excuses like tuition, tired, lazy or the blur “ HAR, Still got scouts…MEH?” So I do not yet know if they’re a bunch worth fighting (over?) for.

Half a cup as good as...
It was another funny episode of sch today. Jokes cracked spontaneously for almost All of the time and insults shot at with no mercy to the target. I was still sick with my cough getting worse instead of better even though with the help of Breacol. I think I need ‘chin pui pei par kou’ or smth. The phlegm that suddenly decided to appear was not a pleasant couple that up with the flu and the mucus. I had to sneeze most of the time but I just kept it in. The toilet’s far away and sneezing on a tissue paper with the risk of it tearin and spewing out my mucus is not a very pleasant sight.
Anyway, halfway thru sch, I came up with a hypothesis that if I just continue talking…cock, I wouldn’t cough as much. I was right, up to a point. The second I stopped to get a breather, my cough would return with amplified severity. It’s bad interruption for the class to listen halfway thru a lecture to hear some1 coughing his lungs out. Hey, it’s either that or loud boisterous laughter from the back.
The new FC shirt that was ‘compulsory’ for every1 to buy was better than our yr’s design but still crappy. Ordered one anyway. I like wasting my parents money.
I would also like to notify ppl close to me of a red alert. Or rather, period alert? Apparently some1 gave smth to some1 but didn’t bothered to give somebody else smth. I hope I don’t get caught in the crossfire!!
Im feeling a lil better but I think I still need another day’s rest to completely recover from this. Maybe I’ll come back with renewed zeal for my studies. And oh, there’s a chance that I’ll be representing school for bball. It’s not confirmed yet tho, ms said he’ll tell me later. I think I should start training, if not for bball then at least for sports day WHICH my teacher told me to NOT go low profile and run for the house. Sry, terpaksa bangga!!!! Cheers!!

Falling ill.... hope not!
Friday’s the best day of the week. Not only do I only hv 2 subjects –chem and pa- sch ends at 1210. Furthermore, after sch, a bunch of us would stay back for bball which is my badly needed weekly exercise.
Chem was fun/crappy. I cant differentiate. Apparently my mouth moved too much and the things I do are for fun which prompted the teacher to order me to redo my work….for fun. She also said I’ll suffer because of that for the rest of the year. I Am So Deeply petrified!! Seriously, my legs are shaking. I think I’ll have a fun yr with her and also a tough one.
My scouts group did fairly well during this yr’s recruitment drive. Recruitment drive is where the all the clubs and uniform groups set up booths in the hall enticing and recruiting the new form 1’s as members. We managed to get 70 names on our list albeit im sure there are fakes, just how many I don’t know. Hopefully we’ll get about 40 legit members.
I am yet to know my PA teacher, Pn Ari or Arienne. She didn’t appear today instead gave us a handout for homework. Boring! Just as it was reaching 1200, I noticed my specs were missing. I began a frantic search for it. Somehow I had an inkling that danny took it but he denied it forthwith. Then finally he took it out but will only return it if I say goodbye to ruth( a rather big girl next door in fm). I went. I think I gotta just break it to her that no matter what she heard, it’s all false and I don’t like her. I think that will stop all those rubbish talk from the likes of aaron, chris and danny. Tsk tsk!
Basketball was…. tiring. I was already gasping for air during the 1st 15 mins where we played 2on2 with me and Arthur against mun sou and chris(noob). We won, 7-6, with Arthur doing almost everything! =). We then challenged the form 4/5 who were having their ‘training’. They were reluctant at 1st but after some time they agreed to a 30 points, 5 on 5 game. Bring it on! We thrashed em 30-17. Somehow, I found stamina to run a lot during the match. Heck, I wont deny it, I enjoy running with the ball going pass all those defenders although I sometimes get checked by em. We stopped at around 2.30.
The drive back home was torturing. My legs were on the brink of being cramp and the road was friggin congested. The air cond is always crappy during the afternoon. Somehow when the weather is hot, it will follow suit but during the nite, the air cond works like how it’s s’pose to.
I slept thru the rest of the day. I was worn out and was feeling kinda sick. I think I had a minor fever in which I quickly gulp down lots & lots of water. I still feel like shit right this moment. I just hope I’ll be feeling better tmrw. Oh wells, have a nice weekend!

Bleak....
There is often much hype and anticipation during the 1st day of schools. For the std one kids it’s like living thru hell in an environment that is so different and unknown with so many other aliens around. But after schooling for so many yrs and passing thru numerous 1st days, today will be no different than the last.
To put it simply, I wasn’t rdy for school. I couldn’t find my tie & name tag. My bag’s chucked somewhr underneath the staircase and my uniform is from the previous year. After getting used to waking u at 12 in the noon, I’ll now have to start accustoming myself to waking up 6 hrs b4 that. So at 0630 today, my maid woke me up. I hadn’t gotten much sleep as I was tossing and turning and waking up in the mid of the nite. I brushed my teeth, showered and gel-ed my hair. At 0700, I left my house for school.
Just as I turned a corner heading for a petrol station, *bumps* I crashed into a car. He both parked our cars and came down to examine the dmg. There was nthg wrong with my car and to what I saw, his back was fine too. So I said, “hey, no dmg rite? Everything ok? Okay! Bye!” Just as I was turning my back, he called me back to look at the mid-section. Damn rite, there was a dent! Okay, so we started arguing with him accusing that I didn’t stop and me defending saying I did and I also put on my signal light! It went on for a few minutes then came an old man out of nowhere who also said I didn’t stop. WTF, his problem? Then the guy took down my car’s no. plate and since I didn’t wanna lose out, I also took down his. He then asked to go to the police but I refused since there’s no P sticker on my car so I phoned my mom and asked her to come settle this mess.
Since i was so damn friggin near to my house, mom was here in no time and after speaking to the guy for a while, my mom offered to fix his car for him and that he should let me go to sch 1st then tha he should also send his sons to sch. My mom then gave him here mobile no. and that he should call her after he has sent them to sch.
So I went to sch feeling like shit. I told all my friends bout it proclaiming what a bad start it is to the new eff-ing year! Class teacher’s jayaselvi who ordered us to clean the class where I ended up cleaning bird shit infested fluorescent lights! It wasn’t pretty. The new chem. Teacher, maheran was pretty strict. I think very much like Loo! But she’s friendly, I think. Then we started playing the games o’brey taught us –the bang-bang, who died? What time and BLACK magic!!- with our classmates. It was hilarious looking at them.
After brief- or should I say very brief- scout meeting, the guys and I went for lunch together with jovi at san peng. There we cont the games this time the victim was liks. He couldn’t figured it out no matter how hard he tried. After lunch, I sent chris down to uda ocean, I noticed that there was some weird noises coming out from the engine or steering and the steering wheel had some unexplained vibration to it. I called dad to tell him that I’ll be sending the car to Un teoh – mechanic- to check on the problem and he replied saying that I should send the car to him b4 the car breaks down. I thought I just said I would?
Apparently I needed to change the power steering fluid. When he poured in the new oil, it just dripped right down. So the hose was broken. NO, it wasn’t my fault! Even Un. Teoh said so. He also said I have to change the power steering fluid filter and the tank itself. Okay, total cost, RM 500. Dad told me to walk back to the office.
I can say that I had a great start to the new sch term. In a perverse way that is. To run salt to the wound, there’s a high chance that I wont be driving to sch. There’s currently 3 cars at home and now since sis started working, she’s got priority over me. Guess i'll just hv to get used to taking lrt again. And oh, the cost of fixing the dent on the guy's car was RM 400 thus spurring my dad to exercise an allowance cut! Great, just eff-ing Great!!!

A new kind of new yr's eve...
New years are always ushered in in grandeur. With crowds marauding about and feeling of joy in the air, everyone’s happy and enjoying the moment. With fireworks blasting away in the distant air and songs playing in the background, needless to say getting sprayed at with foam strings, it’s a moment of celebration!!
I’ve opted instead to usher in the new yr in a different but no less spectacular way. We gathered together a group of friends, headed to a quite remote area and BARBEQUED!! We started planning about it at 1830 and were done at 2000 on the 31st of Dec. It was gonna be held at jay’s grandparent’s place and aaron will me picking up William and I’ll pick up benny and wt. Ampang fellas will be following jay.
It was already 2200 and we still have no chicken! We began a frantic search for supermarkets but were turned away at attempt. We then decided to try our luck at tesco and jolly good, it’s opened till 11. We bought 20 pieces of chicken, sausages, balls and drinks! 8 guys, went marketing for supplies at 10 in the nite to hold a bbq which was only planned 2 hours ago. Fantastic!
Liks was JM-ing when I phoned him to drag him along. Apparently he wanted to celebrate with those ‘aunties’ from the dinner! We went to pick him up anyway. By the time we reach jay’s grandparent’s house, it was already 2345! By the time we finished setting up the table and arranging the stuff, it was almost midnite! So we just stood up and looked at our watches at when the hand stuck 12, we all screamed, clapped and shouted. Greeting and wishing each other happy new yr. Oh, just 50 metres away from us were a group of ppl who came from nowhere to the middle of the field holding beer cans and shouting away as well.
After that burst of activity, we began setting up the fire….. with only 1 piece of fire starter. It took us longer than usual and the pit was ready only at 0115. We were all starving and rushed to bbq our stuffs. I don’t know why but I like cooking chicken and was turning and applying honey + margarine to the chicken. Benny brought half a bottle of Absolut and we drank while bbq-ing.
When we were done eating, it was already 0300. We then played Seven where the loser has to drink a shot of vodka. It was blardy hilarious and enjoyable. There was still a bit of vodka left so I poured it into 9 cups for a toast! “Cheers……. Yuuuummmm Siiiingg!!!” Lol…a mixture of English modernity and Chinese orthodoxy. Throughout the whole nite, benny and kevin were snapping away photos. And at the end, we cam-whored by setting the timer for 5 shots and took group photos. With every flash came diff poses and diff smiles.
We cleaned up, threw the garbage and went home. I sent liks and wt back while aaron offered to help me send benny home since he was using that way to send William home. The ampangs fellas (Kyle, Kevin and jay) settled themselves. =) But I couldn’t go home just yet, wai kit called me and said they we waiting for me at GasOnline, pandan indah. My phone was dead and used liks’s phone to call charles and ask for direction. He told me to go over 2 over heads, kept left turn right….left..right…..straight and smth smth.
I got lost! And they had to come pick me up. Actually the way to the place was quite easy. I just got mixed up. And also because he gave me the wrong friggin direction!! We had beer and more beer. Half way thru, wk told us that his gf just broke off with him. Raymond then cracked some joke and we were laughing away. We continued playing cards while drinking but it’s good to know that none of us got drunk! When we were told that the shop’s gonnna close and we were told we couldn’t stay any longer, I was ready to embrace my beautiful bed. But alas, they still wanted to stay up and decided to go have dim sum. At 6 in the friggin morning!! I tagged along. Lol, we chatted more and I looked at them eat. All the time, I was just thinking bout shutting my eyes and go to sleep. But it was fun in a way! I’ve enjoyed myself and ushered in the new yr not with hundreds of people surrounding me but just with friends around me.
Happy friggin New Year all. It’s gonna be a Great & Dashing year for us all and let us no longer look at what was or what could’ve been. We now look forward and reach for the sky!! Cheers!!

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.

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. =)
