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!! =)

Wave that flag A*hole...It's Merdeka!!

I’ve been trying to update my post for the past 2 weeks but to no avail. Every time I complete the introductory paragraph, my brain seems to freeze and I lose all the ideas I’ve had or I feel that the work done was unsatisfactory thus forcing myself to delete it.
So Malaysia was celebrating its 49th independence day on the 31st and everyone was glaringly excited about it. However, I felt nothing. It’s not so much shock than fright that overtook me. Here, a teenager with so much freedom and access to knowledge, living in a purportedly democratic country is not overly excited that his country has achieved independence for 49 yrs. Does the independence that our forefathers strived to achieve not matter?
However, does celebrating the event with so much joy and enthusiast make you more of a patriot than others? Or rather you think that waving the national flag and dressing with the nation’s colours means you’re more of a Malaysian than others? Open your eyes and you shall see that Independence has a grander meaning such that idiots will not be able to comprehend.
Our independence sees to it that we are able to enjoy what it means to live in a democracy. We are able to choose our government, our religion, the ability of move and speak w/o restriction so long as it abides by the law. The freedom of choice! We have enjoyed these privileges for so long that we seem to be taking it for granted.
So be thankful for that and whilst you cheer and clap and shout in joy in the celebration of Merdeka Day, keep a thought in the corner of you mind of that it means to be Independent!!

Uhhh...tent? What tent?

Training camp was meant to be held on the 18th for both the boyscouts and the rovers. However due to the stubborness and ignorance of our teacher adviser, it was canceled. However, the 6 of us was still incline on going albeit w/o the rovers.
I went to school on friday, ( a waste of time actually) and the plan was to head out at 2 o'clock from school to the the bus station. So i decided to play basketball after school to kill the time. It wasnt fun as it used to be. But then again its never fun losing, moreover when u lose to the same team 3 weeks in a row! At 2 o'clock liks arrived in sch and we went to the scouters room to pakc the tents and essential equipments liks golok, axe, bow saw and so on. Then it started to rain. Heavily! And we had to hold up in the scouters room to wait for the rain to cease. At 4 pm it did and we were way out of schedule. Met up with chris at petl. str. and we decided to buy a bottle of chivas to bring it to camp. Danny came a lil later and we headed to Yusof to take a bite. Arrive at the bus station at around 4.30 and boarded one at around 4.45.
We arrived at templers at around 6.10. The walk to our campsite took only 20. This was because our usual campsite was taken and we had to make up with one that is nearer and less strategic. By the time we set up the tent, it was already 7 and the sky has turned dark. However, we still managed to chop down 2 trees to be used to build gadget or as firewood. We couldnt do much more and hadto wait for anand and nick to join up with us and bring the mantle for the gas lamp. Alas, when they arrived empty handed! No mantle. So we had no light for the night except from those of the small torch lights. We ate maggie mee and played cards till around after midnight then started cam-whoring for a while and continue playing cards until we dozed off. We didnt even sleep inside the tent. Only on the friggin fly sheet.
We woke up at 9 in the morning. Well, 4 of us did and we ate tuna + bread for breakfast. Maggie for breakfast is not good!! We then woke the other 2 sleepyhead and started chilling around. Talking cock, singing songs. At around 12, anand and danny went out to collect the stuffs that anand's cousin was to bring to us : Marinated chicken, sausage and the mantle for gas lamp. We gave em money to buy nasi lemak but the stall was closed and instead they bought egg,s 6 bottles of coke and sauce. The other 4 of us stayed back. Nicks was in charge of collecting twigs and cleaning up the campsite while me, like and chris went to chop down trees for wood. We chopped down another 4 trees gathering a total of 6 trees. It's sufficient only because we did not build any big gadgets, just a table and bench and as firewood. At around 4, we went upstream and found a spot that was just nice for us to bathe. With deep and shallow patches and a place to hang our toiletries. We bathe for around 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Yeah, we like to enjoy our bathing times! XD Oh, we cam-whored there too! Pictures of us brushing our teeth, posing around and with diff hairstyles. We went back to our campsite and started preparing for the barbeque. Some of us chopped and saw the wood to build a bench by the pit which danny and nicks was taking turns at digging while the others collected twigs cleaned the utensils. Liks started building the fire after the pit was finished. A small fire was started and we wanted a big fire so we began chucking twigs in. It was not to be, the fire remained small and at one point almost died off. We decided to take out most of the twigs and start over again. The twigs and wood was wet due to the heavy rain that fell on that afternoon that i failed to mention earlier. LOL. Try as we might we couldnt get a big fire. At 11-ish, we decided to start cooking the sausages 1st. Boy oh Boy was that 2 black pepper sausages tasty! I have never tasted anything so delicious before.( when a man is hungry, everything tastes perfect! ;-) )We practically gave up trying to get a big fire started and began frying the chicken. However i wasnt satisfied and pulled liks together to continue working on building that fire. Our perseverance paid off as asoon after we got a big fire going and we placed the chicken over it. I took over the job of grilling the chicken while liks continued maintaining the fire. Our efforts paid off as the chickens look friggin delicious. A golden brown colour and not only does it look nice, it taste good too! Boy am i good!! After the bbq session, we sat around drinking chivas and talking while playing cards. We just chilled for hours and began jiwang-ing. Singing songs together being damn emo and all. It's nice to know u have other brothers who can share your pain and your joy with you. After some time, we all just ran out of energy and slept. On flysheet's alone again.
Woke up the earliest the next morning and went to fetch water to cook maggie mee cups for the rest as they were all beginning to wake up too. We then played cards and im K.U.R.A.P! WTF, they all plotted against me! We then went to bath....for another 2 hours b4 returning to clean up the campsite and pack our stuffs.
Oh, i forgot, we shared our campsite with a group of malays who came to camp as well. It was obvious they weren't scouts as they we're doing things.....wrongly. LOL. And they weren't prepared so we acted like a rental shop lending equipments to them. But they were all right chaps. Polite and friendly.
That's that for our 3 days camp. It's way much different from our normal camp but hey we went there as a good of friends not as a scouting troop. It wasn't much yet it was still fun in it's own special way. I will never get bored of these camps that i will attend to with my brothers and i hope never shall they. Cheers!!!

Hey, u saw my tampon?

" Girls, you may not go for this camp for there will not be any FEMALE teachers to accompany you...." That's what he said to the rovers. Preceding his 'notification', we have already argued with him over the matter and from our pov his argument is based and a lot of gibberish. And from his pov, we are just 6 fools thinking with our dicks who cannot control our lust. I do not know why he is being so sceptical of us, it's not like we have not prove our worth. His concern that we will do smth stupid with the girls has blinded him of the fact that the girls are rovers. Scouts who deserve to experience what it's like to live in the jungle w/o the luxuries of home. He is afraid to take responsibility claiming that a female teacher has to be present to accompany the rover in case they have some 'girl problems' that need to be resolved. However, i do not see why he is unable to do that? A female teacher is still a teacher and a male teacher is still a teacher. Furthermore, when an accident occurs, i think that a male teacher will be more capable of handling the situation than compared to a female one. Hitherto, if 18 yr old's are unable to handle their 'girl problems' ( if they actually exist in the first place =.=") then i propose that they stay at home until they can be arranged for marriage.
We've talked to the rovers about the matter and most of them are okay with it. They are still enthusiastic bout the camp eventhough we will not be going under victoria scout group rather as a group of friends. However, when they were told about the absence of a female teacher, some..most...some.. k w/e.. they raised concern over that matter. Citing inconvenience in certain matters and when they have to notify a teacher bout certain things and yeap 'girl problems'. So i had to ask them, what kind of girl problems are they expecting? They couldnt really give an accurate answer for that. However, most of them are okay with it and would still go for the camp after briefing and explaning the details to them.
If any girl would kindly explain what sort of 'girl problems' there is. Kindly drop me a line. Im dying to find out!!
