Exodus

After being plagued by Peter's rants for a few months now, I think GengKST blog needs a face-lift.

Everything's fine for me now at college. Club works are now gone and studies follow suit. I basically have quite a relaxing time till January 2007 as I do not have to re-sit any subjects for AS. Our ScraChess have organised four activities (3 national level activities), therefore we can close the year now. I have many ways to spend the "holiday" but I chose to work, work and work to gain money. I pick up any college jobs as I go along. Library helpers, computer lab helper, resident leader, tuition teacher...I work as long as I get paid. I can still pick up any job as long as the wage is above RM5 per hour.

But I no longer have a good chat with Peter, Patrick, Yin Ling, Daphne, Nooi Hoay and Kee Huong. That leaves only Yin Nin and Yee Leng. Everyone's busy with college, I know....but I am becoming sad when i remembered my post here about a year ago, which I doubt many will remember.

The post about tests of friendship to see if we can cope. We are now at first stage, Pre-University Test. However, we no longer communicate with each other (or maybe I am the sad one out), which makes me think if we actually survive this one. Well, most of us are still in Malaysia and we can row, row row-a-boat to Indonesia if we need to look for Peter. So we can reach each other through handphone. However, if the foundation here is weak, I doubt that we will make it past university level.

Peter will be in Indonesia.
I will be in UK.
Yin Nin will be in Germany.
Yin Ling will be in Penang/Ireland.
Patrick will be in UK (but a different corner than mine).
Yee Leng will be in Malaysia, perhaps.
Kee Huong will be in Malaysia.
Daphne will be in Australia.

If this trend continues, our friendship will break off before we know it.

In this semester, I learnt that friendship is about sharing problems and also good news. And standing out for each other. Of course I knew them theoretically before that, but it is actually in this semester that I can actually experience.

Well, forgive me if you think I am stalling, I am not in a sane state of mind nowadays. Darn lonely and well, lonely. Was on the verge of depression, but manage to save myself somehow.

Lastly, all the best to Daphne in her upcoming exam, which should be close by now, Peter in his new home, Yee Leng in her SPM-revisited but on a much higher level and others who will face the war next year such as me.

Peter Got Fooled

Hahah the bapeky Peter fell for my joke!

I bet he must've fell on his knees and said........Oh God......why let Patrick get Cambridge! Why? Why not me?

Peter definitely suffers from extreme kiasuism.

Oh, and if you wanna come and bash me, sure. Let's see if you can find your way here.

Oh Albert, you don't have to care about what others think about what others say.

"For everthing has a reason."

Its gonna end

My Pre-U gonna be over~!!!

yeaa...

peter gets angry

this time i announce i super damn wanna whack the bapek in kmb up.

he sms me the day after that the cambridge thing was a hoax.

april fool of some sort.

btw, my dean told us that jpa is offering another country, south africa for medicine.

JPA, PSD or whatever name you call it...

The JPA craze is back in town, this time with a bigger momentum. Multitudes of top students will make a run for their money. It's becoming such a normal phenomenon in our country.

This year around, the competition will be times stiffer. With over 15000 applications, not-to-mention at 8000 worthy entries, JPA officers ought to be given a raise for being able to handle this. However, once again, there will be mess later.

Many students (juniors) have been asking me the same stupid question "Did you go for JPA Interview last year?" I will answer abruptly "No". I guess something in my voice must have told them to shut their mouth up, because none of them asked me further questions except this one:

X : Did you go for JPA Interview last year?
Me : No.
X : Wow, no interview? JPA scholarship not good enough is it?

I did not reply him. He's of course, another top student and all.

I guess all these brings me back to my old days, when I am filled with hatred in my soul towards JPA. To tell the truth, I have not get over the JPA failure, especially when I am not given a justified explanation. But yes, who owes me a scholarship? No one. Now, many will be following my path and I hope that the number is not big, though it is quite unlikely.

If any of your juniors or friends did not get any scholarship from JPA, please remind them not to be too sad. Someone has to win the race, and if it's not him/her, it must be because there are other races for them to win. They have to back off from the car, took another one and start the new race. Then, stand tall.

People getting into Cambridge, students getting 13A1s, 14A1s, seniors scoring straight As in CAL Exam, Randal got chosen as the Apprentice...all these sometimes made me think, am I not good enough to be in that position? Don't I have the same discerning ability as them? They don't have paranormal abilities; they are just human beings like you and me. Or is it because I have wasted all my childhood playing and enjoying while others packed themselves with classes after classes of music, taekwondo, band, tuition and others? Or maybe it's just because it's not my turn yet. Same goes to others. It's not your turn yet.

An anecdote: An adventurer once challenges all his partners that he will climb the highest mountain ever found by mankind. No man has ever reach the peak before. Therefore, he climbed and climbed. However, he too experienced difficulties as he can't advance any further although he tried very hard to do so. Then, as he is too depressed because of his failure, he committed suicide there. The truth is that he has reached a point that no man has ever reached, though it's not the peak. He has set a new mark. However, being too distressed because he couldnt reach the peak, he took his own life.

If I think I am a failure, think again. I am in a much better position than many others.

Albert

PS: By the way, congrats, Patrick. SO your rants at the beginning of the course that it's hard to enter Cambridge pay off. I can only apply for UCL or Newcastle, no Oxbridge for me.

Darn

When i was happily online during a boring saturday night,

a bapek by the name of patrick leong sms me tell me that he got conditional offer to cambridge.

this bapek really sengaja wanna annoy me la.

bapok sial

sno goes penang

so, I took part in this competition called ExploRace organised by USM language faculty. It does not test me on any of my physical endurance or abilities, fortunately. it's about completing four tasks that has to do with Germany n German n Germans with another four coursemates. now we have made it to the final round n wil b going to USM tomolo. we ll be there for three days n hopefully wil get to go sightseeing in penang-that referring to the beaches n some night spots:D

so. ur fren has organised an inter program scrabble competition, albert. i am not joining tho for reasons known to both of us. i suck at it. theres also other inter prog comps but none that gives me any chance to show off my abilities, not really the fault of the organisers, more of my fault since i was born without any special talents, i only have my mom to blame. XD

so i tried to lose weight. actually lost 2kg in 2 weeks but for reasons unknown to myself. i got fat again n is trying to make myself go run at the moment. i hope it will happen soon becoz the sun is going down n i don dare to run in the dark.

so i will post up some pics after the penang trip

crazy christian

I so super beh tahan room mates who so die die wanna cook spaghetti for dinner for everyone then get pissed coz no one wanna help. no one ask u to cook also la ok. what justice is there in snapping at us in that effing snotty way of yours huh huh? idiot.

Jia You

em.. as everyone knows, 13 of March would be the SPM results released day while 16 of March would the STPM results released day..
wish my brother and my fellow seniors get good result!

262 days left to the coming STPM 06! o.O
*I've put a countdown bar to STPM in my blog...*

sigh.. next Wednesday would be the first day of the monthly test.
I'm going to sit the exam of PA1, PA2, Chemistry 1 and Chemistry 2 on the 1st day which last for 1 hour each.
On the 2nd day, I have Biology and Math T tests! Each paper lasts 2 hours....
On the 3rd day, the last day, there is only the MUET test... !!!!
MUET, I have nothing to read about it (summary and some objective questions).. while Biology and Math ... @@
so, that means, I may have to study the whole night on Tuesday (28/1) and on Wednesday (1/3) for the first day and second day's tests respectively; and I could sleep the whole day right after back from school on Thursday??
haha... haha... haha!
(ok, I'm doing the last minute work again..)
oh.. well, why is the arrangement of tests so weird?

Light dependent reaction, light independent reaction (calvin cycle), Hatch-Slack pathway, CAM pathway........what are these? haha.. they are the 'cycles' of reactions involved in photosynthesis!
sigh.. my brain is now crammed with all these stuffs....
well, I have "low memory power" and am forgetful... it's hard to memorize all the sequence, the mechanisms.....
there are lots more to study, respirations itself consists of cycles too....
Since two days ago, you could see how hardworking were my classmates...
It's so silent even when teachers were not around!
All of us were trying hard to study and memorize, it's a good sign to see us being so hardworking huh? hehe
We were so playful when the test was still far away, always chat in class when there was a free period... ah...
gambateh to all of us~ oo... continue to study...

Gambateh to all of the members of geng KST too!
run for your life~!

This is my main campaigning poster for my A-levels Student Council of Taylor's College.

In the election, I finished sixth and I advanced to the final stage of the selection process - interview to determine my post. My desired post is President.

Hope to see others as well.

PS: Btw, Yin Nin, I met your friend, Adi Aizat during the MC-IIUM Chess Competition. Just FYI, he mentioned that you are short (hehe, just some provocative jokes).

I've Grown!

 
 

Guys and gals,

Hoping u all could post some latest pics of yourselves.

=)

P/S : Okay, i admit i did some photoshop on the above pic. But its really me.

Good Start, Bad "Karma"

The beginning of Semester 2 was less hectic than I expected. However, there are more changes than I ever anticipate.

Firstly, I continued in Rotaract and Card and Board Games Club. Anyway, I am in the brink of quitting Music Club. The persuasive and dedicated president pulled me in again but I realised that my interest was no longer there. It will now depend in the Student Council to see if I will stay or quit. Next, Investment Club, in which I attended the meeting last month, did not look optimistic this year. The president wants me to take over the club but that club isn't helping me in applying for university. Therefore, I may quit this club and join Maths and Physics Club instead, which is currently "very inactive".

In terms of studies, I do think I am in control. Recent class test results are rather positive as I am controlling my activities well. However, the story may change when I got busy if I were to be elected into the student council.

Student council election in TCSJ is tainted with popularity but the new system is said to "clean up the mess". It will merge both interview and election together. I will be contesting for presidency and that is even harder.

Anyway, not in a very conducive mood to pen now. Catch you all later.

Albert

PS: I can still try to meet you all if there's one meeting.

Wake up!

Wake up fellow KST members.

It's been a long time since we KST together.

Im halfway thru my sem 2 and i think i failed my maths.

Anyway, best of luck to u all. Miss u all lots...

=)
