KST Forever

I will be an USM student =)

2007-06-23T00:43:00.000+08:00

hey all... it has been a long time I didn't update my recent here...

I sat my STPM last November, and I'd got my result last March -- 3.25 CGPA only... it's just a not so good result..., or bad you may say...

After waiting for months... finally I've got to know where I will be going in the coming years!
I'm offered a place at University Sains Malaysia (USM) at Penang Main Campus, the course is Sains Biology, it's pure biology... it's my 2nd choice (each of us had to fill in 8 choices).
but I may try to transfer to other course, depends how do I think after one year of study...

So I will be leaving Kuala Lumpur to Penang on the coming Friday/Saturday... and starts my new life there.. haha..

Good Luck to everyone ya...
Happy Everyday =)

Happy New Year

2007-01-01T17:31:00.000+08:00

Happy New Year 2007 to all of you too!

From Peter in Jakarta.

Happy New Year

2007-01-01T14:24:00.000+08:00

To everyone in KST, it is another new year for us. Most of us have finished our pre-university and are heading to university which could mean more challenges in all aspects. And so, I am here to wish all of you a smooth sailing year ahead with lots of wonders and good news coming your way. Should anything tough come your way, just hold your head high and persevere on.

Happy 2007!!!

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.

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

2006-06-07T12:26:00.000+08:00

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

2006-04-03T18:01:00.000+08:00

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

2006-04-02T01:24:00.000+08:00

When i was happily online during a boring saturday night,

sno goes penang

2006-03-29T18:21:00.000+08:00

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

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!

2006-02-02T00:29:00.000+08:00

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"

2006-01-19T15:58:00.000+08:00

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!

2006-01-15T21:58:00.000+08:00

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...

Ushering In 2006

2005-12-30T10:40:00.000+08:00

Inspired by Lilo, I posted this entry to our co-owned blog.

Ushering in year 2006,
More challenges await,
Be brave and be tough,
And you'll be fine.

No rhyming. No specific number of syllables in each line. Just a show-off of pure freedom.

Join in the fun, folks.
Happy New Year

2005-12-18T16:49:00.000+08:00

Yesterday I sat next to you in the dark theatre, our legs barely touching. You murmured comments into my ear that I couldn't help but laugh at. We did the same a few months ago.

Yesterday I saw you as before. You see, what I felt for you, I still do. I watch you with the other girls. And I let you go. A new hair cut, a new lifestyle. Nothing has changed.

Yesterday I sat next to you in the dark theatre, our legs barely touching. It whetted my apetite for more.

Holiday Trip

2005-12-14T12:00:00.000+08:00

hey friends, how were your holiday?
I went for a trip to Penang on 8th - 10th December.

http://hedwigelaine.blogspot.com

share your holiday (if you are in holiday now.. haha) activity ya~

Awaiting...

2005-12-05T11:08:00.000+08:00

I am embracing myself for a shocking change in a friend's blog. The change, I foresee, is a positive transformation. I have been expecting the best from this friend (not going to use a pronoun so the gender will not be disclosed). Hope that I will not be let down this time. By the way, my instinct tells me that should this post be read by that friend, he/she will soon know I am talking about him/her. My sixth sense is rarely inaccurate.

Note: This post is quite abstract I know. But sometimes it is best to keep the crucial details until the very last minute.

Malaysia 1 Ringgit Coin

2005-11-30T15:48:00.000+08:00

hey friends, have you finished using all the RM 1 coin?

http://www.bnm.gov.my/index.php?ch=8&pg=14&ac=1089
Bank Negara Malaysia would like to remind members of the public that the RM1 coin will cease to be legal tender effective from 7 December 2005.

hehe.. this is just a small reminder to remind all to use the coin as fast as possibley by 6th December oh...but if we want to keep some coins for collection also not bad huh~since each coin just cost RM1 haha

Open and Honest

2005-11-29T23:25:00.000+08:00

Why can't people be more open and honest when dealing with relationship? Even an often-considered-trivial relationship must be treasured. By saying so, I am talking about friendship and ties of family members. Usually, in their attempts to please their special someone, people tend to forget about those who have been by their sides all this while.

Pardon me for whining in this post. I long to have a night when all members of KST gang come together again. Is that possible?

By the way, the 1st and 2nd paragraph are actually not related at all...

All my scattered ideas are pouring out. I can't help it. I need to be heard.

A Jot By A Sot

How to get into the circle?

2005-10-26T22:19:00.000+08:00

Ever heard of holograms? They are sometimes known as cheating device. Why? It's because you think the obstacle is not there and you walk towards it, just to be hit by the obstacle. It's also sometimes called invisible deterrent. Why? You can't see it but something is stopping you from advancing further....something you can't see with your naked eyes. But the most suitable name for it is virtual barrier. Why? It's because you can go further but with very great difficulties and it's normally invisible.

I have a lot of friends from Taylor's and why not? I have ReComers here and one friend leads me to another. I know many people here as well. However, that's always the limit - knowing and identifying. I have not advance any further and I wondered why. After some serious thinking and analysis, I finally got my answer and the answer was not obtained through formulas and equations ( I am not that eccentric yet). Here's the answer :

I am waiting for my bus in front of college yesterday. I looked around me (I am alone, as usual)...a small group of JPA Chinese boys are talking to each other and one of the boys is also talking to a Malay girl (JPA scholar). All of them are studying SAM. Then, I saw a group of JPA ICPU students talking to each other. Two are Chinese and most others are Malay. A small of Petronas scholars studying ICPU are also talking to each other. The group is a mixture of guys and girls.

Another independent event:

I am in the class waiting for Mathematics teacher to come. The class was divided as usual. Christine and Dian were sitting together. Mike, Eugene sat together. Dave, Siew Kiat and Vivek sat together. Akram was chatting with Mike and Eugene. Khashafiq and Salman and Rahim sat together. Salaamin, Fakhruddin and Hamedullah sat together. Maryam and Nadya sat together. Inseparable pair, Sook Mei and Xiao Hong sat together. Yuk Chang and Shu Hao will always sit together. These pairs in class, unless under very rare occasions, will always stay together, creating blocs in class. Oh yeah, what about me? I will be alone, striking conversations occasionally with some of them.

Next independent event :

I am in my scholarship friends' apartment. All seven of them are Malays and all of them live together. When I went there, rather than expecting any welcome, I will obtain nothing, as though no one has walked into the apartment. However, one of them is very friendly though. ONE....out of seven.

Last independent event :

I know a Chinese guy here....an IC-Chinese guy. Why I call him IC-Chinese guy? Because he's only Chinese in his IC. He's from KYS and he's behaving like a classic Malay who stayed in a hostel for 5 years. His very very close bond with all the Malay scholars is not a problem (in fact, it's good...because of racial integration), but his action is the complete reverse against Chinese or Indian scholars (no Indian btw.) My friend and I (Chinese) often received cold stares from him, as if we did whack him before. I have never meet such people before. My friend even make a joke (just a joke) : IF he becomes the MCA president, even Yap Ah Loy will rise up to oppose him! I daresay he gives me a very bad impression of KYS....shame on him.

Ok, after all the events (true events), what is my conclusion? The first problem is about scholarship. Scholars from the same scholarship agencies often flock together (observe first example). They don't tend to know people from other scholarship agencies. However, for cases such as us (MISC scholars and also Telekom scholars), our group is so small that we need to interact with others.

Some made it through the first obstacle and some don't(including me). Why? The second reason is race. In this 21st century, race is still a separator. Scholars of the same race tend to make cliques. With all these tight cliques around, how can I make close friends here? Even within my own ring of 12 MISC scholars, the clique was seen. Malay guys mix with Malay guys. Chinese girls mix with Chinese girls. Malay girls mix with Malay girls. Even between Chinese, Chinese-speaking Chinese mix with Chinese speaking Chinese. English speaking Chinese mix with English speaking Chinese. What kind of culture is this?

The problem is not with the government....the problem is not with the education system...the problem is not with the teachers....the problem is with ourselves! Our mindset and vision is tuned so that we will focus on our "same kind" of people only. Once we don't change, we will no longer just see trading blocs, but people of different religions will live in different parts of the world and take up different jobs, just like the Colonialism era.

may HER soul rest in peace

The Prime Minister's wife Datin Seri Endon Mahmood died at 7.55 am today at the Prime Minister's official residence in Putrajaya after fighting a long battle with cancer.Endon, 64, breathed her last about 18 days after returning from undergoing a treatment for breast cancer in Los Angeles, United States. -- The Star

sigh... what a shocked + sadden news to me ......
Few days ago, I read in newspaper stated that her health is getting better, after returning form US, for the celebration of Hari Raya Puasa...
I wonder, if she didn't come back to Malaysia and stayed at US in hospital, would she die?
suddenly... hard to describe my mood now... ah...
I was listening to radio right after I reached home (back from school, it was a boring school day today also, just had 3 periods of chemistry and none of the others..), and I found it weird that there were only music... midi... there was no any songs............
then, I was reading the forum, Recom... and saw a thread named "passing away of Datin Seri Endon"...while listening to the sadden music, I was reading the news...
so... at that moment... feeling want to cry... ah..... just a sudden moment
this is such a big loss to our dear Prime Minister, try to imagine, what's the feeling of losing the dearest companion... who had been by your side for such a long time, shared your happiness and sadness... up and downs...
Malaysians, we've lost a gread lady... who possesses good attitudes and a kind heart

I=)

2005-10-15T20:21:00.000+08:00

It's great to see the Blog running again.

Looks like Albert has got the hang of things over there in Taylor's. He knows the place for the cheapest food, and from this blog, looks like he's starting to socialize with more girls. Good for him.

As for Lilo and Sno........I guess they're doing fine in INTEC. Lilo has got one outgoing gang. When I visited her in INTEC, I joined her gang in karaoke-ing, loitering around Sungei Wang Plaza, walking all the way from Bintang Walk to Petaling Street, and then walking to Pudu Raya.
It's like one cross-country walk. Sno, on the other hand, won the first prize in a German Sketch competition. My congratulations to her. She must've put in a lot of effort in that sketch.

As for Peter, he bragged to me that day, saying that he got a 100 marks in his Math exam. In addition, he reinforced it by saying that ONLY 3 people got that. O_o.

Elaine and Kee Huong......I get occasional SMSes from Kee Huong, and I get updates about Elaine through this blog, since she's still in the comfort of her home, hehe.

Daphne........Got news from her brother, who studies at the same college as me. He said, "She's fine."

Me?????? How bout me??
Alright, I've adapted myself to the life here. The food, the tight schedule, the boredom (sometimes), the society, as well as the competitiveness.
It's so difficult to be at the top of the class, although I am occasionally. From all the tests I've done, I can only remember one Math paper in which I got the highest score. 50/60.

Looks like I'll have to buck up, and pull up my socks.

I've discovered ways to entertain me when I'm bored. Firstly, I'll download movies like Desperate Housewives, Nip/Tuck, and Smallville from the internet, and fresh new music as well as podcasts from iTunes. Podcasts are actually radio-like programmes which you can listen to.
I have to admit that those podcasts can significantly raise a person's listening skills, as Americans speak rather quickly in radio shows.

Finally....

2005-10-12T17:10:00.000+08:00

Finally....the atmosphere is back. Actually I am not THAT busy and distressed. I, in turn has a lot of free time over here (NOT to imply that my studies are sooo good)...but just that the course here is not so hectic...and there's a lot of activities here to unwind at the end of the day...our ECA officers are excellent!! They are very friendly and approachable. I hang out there EVERYday until I am already a regular...sometimes I help them to answer phone calls as well...I hope that you guys/gals found your own entertainment there....clean ones of course...

Since I come to Taylors, ppl around me begin to exert "love pressure"....what I mean is that ppl begins to associate me with GIRLS after GIRLS....just because I am a "little bit" close with them...I am not a romeo, nor a Mr. Cool, nor a buaya!! Lately, after the BRATs camp, one girl from there begin to exchange emails with me...we email each other everyday to talk abt anything under the sun...but one day, my friend saw that and he spread the news around...now once my class members saw me, i will expect some "funny remarks" from them...oh yes, another bad news for elaine....DUNNO how this can happen, but somehow someone here knows abt our KST gang and saw our picture and PETER'S remarks!! So, they begin to think that....u know...ppl begin to think that I have 2,3 gals, etc.....if there's a reason to be distressed, this is the one reason...

Studies are fine...like I say in my post three months ago, I want to put myself within the top three of the class. When I first come here, all the class members give me a very good impression until I think that I will be having a hard time. However, eventual exams proved me wrong. Apparently, I still manage to keep myself on the top 3 level. Ok la, since Daphne is so nice for putting her scores, I wil do the same thing (/100 unless stated):

Format : (Test Number)(Marks)(Position in class)

Thinking Skills : (1)(15/16)(1), (2)(13/16)(3), (3)(16/18)(1), (4)(12/18)(3)
Maths : (1)(99)(1), (2)(95)(3), (3)(85)(2)
Physics : (1)(22/30)(2)
Chemistry : (1)(79)(3)
Economics : (1)(24/30)(2), (2)(17/20)(1), (3)(16/20)(1)

That's why I myself don't go online very often. It's not easy at all to maintain that streak...the competition is great because it's a scholars' class. Therefore, I must always buckle up all the time.

Hey, I have a perfect time for meeting:

Date : 10 December 2005
Time : Anytime between morning and afternoon, I don't mind
Venue : Berjaya Times Square

Game? Reply quick! And also, if you guys/gals are free during Raya Break, let's relive that KST pasar again...it will be a perfect chance to do that. See you all!

Lilo Talking .. =)

2005-10-12T08:33:00.000+08:00

Ok ok. Felt down reading your musings.=)

The lack of postings from me is really due to the lack of time. Assignments, presentations, readings, dinner, lunch, friends have nearly taken up most of my time god bestowed.. =) Busy busy and busy. sigh.

eh-heh, but i will be very free this year end, right after my finals. will be active online again.

We might drift apart, lead our own life, move on with new things, but, one thing for sure, I will never forget U guys. I apologized if it seem so..I promise to post more whenever I have the time to do so...I do write in my blog occasionally, though its nothing but some furious venting when things doesn't go well for me.

And Albert, Sorry for not being able to attend most of the meetings you tried so hard to organize..its always not the right time for me. sigh sigh sigh.

I am having English class in a computer lab now, so this post is done sneakingly. hehe..

So, till we meet again..Online i guess. =)

U guys, Take Care! and keep yourself well and happy.

Best of Luck,
Yinling

ps/ Peter Good luck for your test next week. Don't be so pressured. U will always be the top once U tried your best!

the end of my final exam

2005-10-11T17:19:00.000+08:00

yeah.. finished..
overall... I have a habit during exam.. since last 2 years, that is sleeping during exam!eh.. of course the sleeping I mean is after finish answering the papers ~
especially for objective papers, always I just use half of the time given, sometimes even just use quarter of the time!
I did this during last year's SPM also =p
teachers sure ask us to use the time to check.... hmm... I hate to check the papers actually.. but in fact I've checked the papers before I sleep, and I don't like to check few times... lazy ~
but mostly for writing papers or paper 2 of science subjects or Math... surely no time for me to take rest ler.. have to keep writing ...

Math... there are only 7 people pass... if including me
over 24... haha.. not even 1/3 of the class pass...
the papers were given back to us today, and.. the exact marks I got was 39.. so my dear teacher added one more mark to me and let me be one of the "pass member"
*sigh*
our dear teacher was really sad of my class' attitude towards math...
[but I think.. I have good attitude towards math... am I ? hmmmm... just that.. I've been too careless + nervous + managed time badly.., ya.. I'm not giving excuse! I did all the exercises given by teacher!]
[hmm.. so.. can I still tell others that I've never failed before? =.="]
ah... I've been talking about this topic for few days..

after exam... can't be too relax also... =.="I
still got a lot of homework to be completed! oh my... haizzz
mostly are of biology project ! @@
and also society's plans, activities... etc........

Marathon here, too!

2005-10-11T13:33:00.000+08:00

Hehe, hello, it has been a long time since I post on this site.

Yeah, New Hope, I am in Marathon here, too (copy cat... haha). My MUET speaking test is scheduled to be on this coming Thursday. And then my semster one final is in the end of October, that's the last week of October.

Well, it seems that there are only a few people who are interested in joining the scrabble competition here in my college. So, I just go and try my luck. First is the one that is organized by the libraray (Kelab Rakan Perpustakaan), and guess what, surprisingly, I got first... haha... actually, it is only fist runner-up. But I am so happy with the results. So, regarding the presents and awards (ehem... have to show off a bit here, hehe...), I got a trophy and a certificate and a dictionary (only costs RM12.50 though...)

And then for the second time I joined the other one that is organized by the English Department, in conjunction with the English Month in Septemeber. Hehe... and I am so lucky again to beat the other contestants by a mere 1 point. So, this time... (ehem)... champion la... hehe... not that wanna show off here la.. but just wanna share with you all these news... A million thanks to my si-fu, newhope for instilling and cultivating this "scrabblism"... hehe...

Yeah, and regarding the Thinking Skill test in taylors, yeah, I have also heard of it before. It is really a hard test... logistic and reasonging, and a lot of thinking skill involved...How is Yuk Chang there? Send my regards to him, okay? Hehe... show him this site, too, if possible, hehe...

So, a little bit more on my schedule... Will be going back to Miri after the final examination. Then will go back to Sibu to attend my cousin's wedding ceremony. (But the holiday is only one-week long... too bad).

Okay, that's all for this time. Hope to hear from you all. Bye and take care. Good luck and all the best in your studies!

God Bless!

Taking a breath in a marathon

2005-10-06T22:24:00.000+08:00

Well, the title says it all, rite? My schedule is BUSY but I can still find time to report myself here. No one ever sends anything here anymore...it's such a sad situation...but everyone has their hectic life to handle. Just stopping by here since I have the time...

Taylor's is not a easy place. Everyone here is quite brainy and if you don't pay attention, you will be blown away. I just got the second highest in Thinking Skills test today...till now, I am still looking good...but tomorrow there's an Economics Test...and next week, Maths Test and Chemistry test.....tests and tests...

My scrabble competition is up this Saturday....it wil provide me with great challenges...hope that i can walk away with something...

Still remember the 5-way-test that I posted here abt 4 months ago? I think we are STILL doing fine, but we are drifting away...

Ok, finish crapping....

2005-09-11T14:39:00.000+08:00

as he was in rush for the next scrabble competition~
who else went? Just Albert and me are KST members...

[hm... ya.. Albert is indeed tall.. or if you want to say I'm too short.. ya.. it's okay, I am indeed a short girl =.="]

Busy holiday @@

2005-08-21T10:59:00.000+08:00

Friday, My class went to biology lab at the first period, and filled our killing jars with ethyl acetate, the chemical fluid to be absorbed by the plaster of parris and evaporate, release the strong smell to kill the insects~
my class is going to Fraser's Hill next Wednesday for a 3 days 2 nights trip.. by our own,
that means there will be no teacher.. no guidance, it is, go by our own risk

~yo.. holidays starts now !!! however, it will be a very busy holiday to me =.="
First, now I have to rush my math T homework (past years questions)(a lot and very hard), because we are going to attend a Math T additional class on coming Monday, a 4 hour class...
then... I think I will be only free on Tuesday but also have to busy preparing for the next day trip...
then only back on Friday night ~.~"(although we can have a lot of fun at Fraser's Hill there ^^)then... actually I have to study chemistry also..
haiz.. I'm left far behind teacher's pace!besides, I also have to finish my biology notes O_O [did few days but still got more than half to study and to do notes]
ohhh my god~and my class teacher ... haiz... she is still not satisfied of what I have done for my class decorations of Merdeka (independant day) ~...
she said, it's not enough to be outstanding among classes... and won't be able to win the decoration contest! She wanted me to put up more and bigger Malaysia Flag... @@"
it made me stressful again... ah....
what a busy holiday !!!!
T_T" feeling want to cry already =p

It's been a long, long time...

2005-08-09T18:13:00.000+08:00

since the posting rate here is creditable. Well, everyone have their college works and assignment to do...no doubt about that. Even Yee Leng has her Form 6 duties. Let's not forget Yee Leng is studying the hardest course among ALL of us!!

Well, I am alive, still standing and still breathing (but couldnt sure how natural can that be if the haze won't stop). I am still can be considered having a good time in Taylor's la. I have a fair share of play and study. To many, it was dead hard, but to me, what matters is our attitude towards it. If we accept it slowly and calmly, it can be so easy.

To sno,
Eh, I have not been hearing from you for so long la...that day I sms you, u dun reply me for 1 week, I thought you completely forgot about me already and thought an alien have sms-ed you....luckily you reply and clarify, or else...okok. Seems that you are having a struggle with maths...take it easy la...things will be fine...don't have to feel so stressed out...and hey, if you want to join the scrabble competition, join the Times Square competition la...i wil be joining....for more info (if you want more details etc), call me.

To lolilo,
How are you? Nothing much to say la, just that I wanna thank you for calling me to chat la...However, if you havent know, this saturday there's a talk on university courses....medicine, pharmacy, engineering etc in Taylors. It's open to anyone. Come with sno la. If you have any friends in Taylors, ask them if you can tumpang in their apartment in Ridzuan Condo. If yes, how nice! Just that, patrick will be coming to stay with me while attending the event. Important reminder : Pang Ping is NOT staying in Taylors Hostel, so you may forget about her....unless she lets you to stay in HER house, but I couldnt know. If you are coming, sms me!

To Patrick,
Wei, so you don't know where's Ridzuan eh? Okok, follow this direction. Your friend should know the roundabout near Metropolitan College (Kewajipan Roundabout). If you are coming from Subang Jaya Medical Centre (SJMC), take a nine o' clock turn to the left. Then just go straight until you saw a turning to the left with Sunway Pyramid right on the opposite. After you turn to the left, just move on towards the three high apartments. They are the only three high buildings there and they are Ridzuan Condominiums. Ok, if your friend dropped you in Taylors, then I will have to try to smuggle you into the bus at 6:30pm. 6:30pm bus is the last bus from Taylors. So, don't be late. All students need a bus pass. As of now, the bus driver don't really care about it. 6:30pm bus is very empty but the more empty it is, the more dangerous for me to get you in because the bus driver MAY check. Extra seats will be abundant during 6:30pm. Don't worry. However, if he suddenly turns sceptical that day because you will appear unfamiliar to him, then you will have to get a taxi home. As for bus, there's Kota Raya bus leaving from SS15. However, I don't know about the schedule of the bus. You may have to wait for quite some time at the bus stop. A trip to Ridzuan will cost you RM5 for taxis without meter and approx. RM3 for taxis with meter. Let me know about your decision.

To Daphne,
I am quite surprised when you called me that day. However, you will find me different than Peter, rite? Sno will know what I mean....If you have the time, join them la...oh, and remind lolilo that the medic talk will be held on 2:15 pm - 3:15 pm...so you gals don't have to come on Friday if you gals can't get a place to stay in SS15 or Ridzuan.

To Yee Leng,
Hi, how are you? Are you coming to see me during my participation in the scrabble competition in Times Square? If yes, good la...we can finally meet each other, although I have no idea what is the result of it. Go form a cheerleading team and come. If I won, I belanja makan....haha...

To Kee Huong,
Eh, got any girlfriend from Labuan or not? How are your studies? It's been a long time since I hear from you. Your last SMS warns me not to sms MELODY too often because you will be jealous. FYI, I abide to your warnings. So when will I get my reward? Ha....jkjk..

To Peter,
Peter, be a man la...COME and MEET us. We ALL want to meet Peter rite? I think some of you have met him but NOT ME!! COME AND SHOW YOURSELF!! (200dB)

To Nooi Hoay,
How are you? So, you are going to meet chenchow this week? Send my regards to him and plan a meeting for ReComers with him if possible. I managed to influence a whole gang of Taylor-ians here to join ReCom. So, if there's a meeting, I think many will come...God bless in your studies!

That's all fellas.....my bus is coming in 18 minutes.....I had better run. Patrick, will be waiting for your response and sno/lolilo/daphne/nooi hoay, sms me if you wanna come! Don't come secretly and give me a surprise.....my heart is very weak now because of the absurd haze.

my very first prom night

2005-07-18T15:01:00.000+08:00

yo.. I've just attended my school's form 6's prom night ^^
This is my very first prom night which was also my school's form 6's first prom night, at Dynasty Hotel on last Saturday, 16th July 2005.
My school is SMK Taman Ehsan ~
Erm.. I wrote a long blog about it in my own blog, I think it's better to go and read there, it's not so suitable to post it over here, imo. So, whoever interested to know can visit my blog site ya~ there is also a photo link in my blog~

Lost & Found

2005-07-14T14:39:00.000+08:00

I know that I have not been posting lately, due to the fact that I am actually in a secluded place with broadband, but this kind of broadband seems to be slower than the normal 56k connection.

For all of you who do not know where I am, listen:

I'm under a scholarship. JPA. UK. Whether or not I get into universities there remains as a question. Before I could study medicine in the UK, I will have to undergo a preparatory course, like all of you guys. Oh no, I'm NOT doing A-Levels...but International Baccalaureate (IB). The recognition of the system? I have no idea. But from past records, I think that I have a very slim chance of getting into Oxbridge, since no one from this college (Kolej MARA Banting) got to Oxford before, and as for Cambridge, only 1-3 people get admitted into that university yearly from KMB.

As for KYUEM, where its students study A-Levels, 7 got into Cambridge, 2 into Oxford, 20++ into London School of Economics, and 40++ into Imperial College. Sigh......

Is it because of their facilities?
Is it because of their course?
Or are they just plain better?

(-_-")

Ok, back to my introduction after being asleep for eternity.
I'm in Kolej MARA Banting...in Banting...studying. For details on the state of this place, it is best for you to ask Yin Ling (Lolilo). I've already altered my blog post to avoid myself from being expelled by KMB, and after that, JPA. I don't want to see my scholarship to fly away because of this college. I MUST, and I MUST, go through this challenge.

Huhuhuhu. This week I will go to my auntie's house to regain my sanity after undergoing a 2-week marathon here. Till next time, my dearest friends. Take care and best of luck!

Boss's here!

2005-07-12T13:48:00.000+08:00

Woooot.

Boss x nak kalah , nak post jgk.

Hmm , after one week in so-called civilised shah alam , i realised transport is pretty much of a serious problem here. We need taxis to get from one place to another and its DAMN 'cheap'!

KUTPM is abit disappointing but okla... wanna find out more on my orientation week find out from pohwei's blog lor , http://pohwei.blogspot.com We're in the same group and class for everything here.

Im going back this weekend most probably so will post longer then.

Eggy's right , typing a blog with many eyes behind you waiting for their turn to use the comp... is kinda.. eerie.

Bye!

P/S: Anyone can post about the exact way to get to PUDURAYA bus station from KUTPM ? Help... i still havent figure out how.

Malaysian Idol

2005-07-11T21:46:00.000+08:00

watch Malaysian Idol recently every week....
[tell you, Jaclyn Victor was my school's former student!!!]
found out something unfair... but maybe it's fair, just I don't know how is the system working...

for the stage now, last week was the second group.
There are 3 groups totally, each consists of 8 contestants. out of 8 of each group, there would be only 3 pass through.

erm.. first unfairness here, maybe in the first group, all of not so high quality, but want or not, there would be 3 able to pass through.
Maybe the opposite thing happens in the second group, it's, all of high quality, but only 3 can pass through... (ok, just my opinion, for example !!!)
second unfairness, if I'm right, the result (it's to choose 3 out of 8), is 100% relys on the sms voting plus call-in to vote !!
so.. for example, if one of the contestant want to win, he or she can sms as many as possible to support himself/herself, right? Or maybe I get the wrong informations, but as I know, we can sms as many as we want, however, I'm not sure if we can sms many times to vote for one contestant.. I'll test it next week maybe ahahaa...

guess whos back guess whos back...

2005-07-11T18:51:00.000+08:00

hey hey!!
I know, I know, everyone misses me, right?

anyway, I love intec!!! I love living on my own n I love to have things to do besides going online everyday... Classes have started for three weeks now, n I have to admit that I haven been studying, probly coz I spent my time hanging out with frens! YES! I have frenz!, yippee... XD

currently, I dine every nite with Caryn(Daphne's classmate from St. Theresa), Jaclyn(from kuantan, erm, the rival school of sultan abu bakar, if I'm not mistaken) n of course, Daphne!

I don see much of Lilo these days, mayb coz we don live in the same block, her in block 6 n me in block 1. my block is much more nicer, with nice tiles on the floor, hohoho... but lilo got free internet access right under her house... so, like that la, life's fair from time to time

thanks for accompanying me to open my savings account, lilo... muacks

eggy, hmm... I had dinner with her that day...

patrick... erm, donno... where are u?

peter, answer my phone call!!

hi elaine!

albert, I'll see u soon

erm, erm, oh ya, my phone dropped onto the floor from my lap that day, then the LCD broke n now I can't read sms properly so I don reply much of sms-es, sorry ... mayb one day I'll get it fixed(when I am feeling rich lar, I'm so broke) u know, being under 18 sucks, I need parents signature for an ATM card n can only withdraw 200 bucks per day... sobs... but still, I love living in college Akasia, heehee...

let's jus hope I find time to study la...

A clarification

2005-07-09T11:17:00.000+08:00

*ehem*

Lilo is right when she said that college life have an impact on our friendship. In fact, I began to feel distant from Kee Huong (let's not forget that he exists). However, Internet line is abundant here. Just the chatting part is a little bit difficult. The breach of the anti-chatting rule results in a much heavier penalty (permanent suspension from using the Internet facilities in Taylors) than the breach of the anti-theft rule. Now, consider the irony, friends. The college is going on wars against MSN. All forms of MSN chatting are now disabled. I have to resort to my friend's laptop which is at my disposal after some part-time lectures by him.

However, all I wanted to say is in my blog. I find it not very relevant to post them here and ridiculous to post in both blogs. Therefore, please take that few spare seconds to visit my blog if you want to know what had I become and what is life in Taylor's definition.

I will save those other words for our Mid Valley meeting. Good luck and God bless everyone in their studies and challenges.

it's not what's underneath that matters, it's what you do that defines you.

2005-07-09T01:00:00.000+08:00

you know that life is acting up when you suddenly feel like going to church.

ho!

lesson of the day: always fill your car's petrol tank with petrol when the light comes on.

lilo still alive in KL

2005-07-06T19:04:00.000+08:00

no news about anyone lately? wow, going to college make a really huge impact on out virtual life huh?

uhm, i dun really know what to post, but, akasia no lektrik and daphne made me come to cc with her, then i have nothing better to do and don't feel like being a hypocrite to study in this kind of place, so what the hell, post la!

I am quite fine now, classes commence officially this week, and work started to pour in already, things are going quite fine, but i am still kinda worried. First of all, my chem teacher is not the kind who will stand in your shoes to comtemplate what we know or what we don't. She expected we had study every freaking facts on our own and just come to class to copy notes. hell la. I go home in a dazed after chem class and made myself read that miles thick textbook but i eventually felt asleep la. I need more determination heh? yah, i know. i will try try, don't say die. ( daphne taught me this.) Then i love my bio lecturer, he explain things really detail-ly, and this is good for people who are lazy to look up everything their own, like me la. I love to be spoonfeeded la, simply saying.And STATS, omg, i dunno what to say. no comments till now.More evaluation needed to be carried out before making some statements that i would regret eventually.

ok ok, now about the more interesting part of me college life .jeng jeng jeng.....not really that interesting la, but then...a movie and a trip out to KL town with great friends is indeed nice la. I went to Sunway, Midvalley, and KLCC just in the 2 weeks time i step foot here in KL. Amazing huh? Unbelievable huh? haiya....thats just the start ma...i am quite free at that time..i don't think i can do that anymore starting next week.( chem? huhuhu)..
so...uhm what else arr? its7.30pm right now btw......uhm uhm

ok la, thats all for now..oh ya, peter and patrick, please la reply messages. And to PETER. Dahpne pesan awak mereplykan message dia. what kind of human you guys are not returning ppl msgges wan ar? weird leh.

Just to inform KST members about me finally offered the JPA scholarship. It's AUSMAT in INTEC. If all go well, I will be spending 18 months here in INTEC and later 6 years in Australia.

As for Peter, you have made up your mind about accepting the offer right? Wishing you all the best yea...

A Jot By A Sot

ever had one of those days?

2005-07-02T00:49:00.000+08:00

have you ever had one of those days when you just felt bored and disinterested in the world? sleep loses all its (overrated) glory and every book you pick up seems to have the same old story line, or lack thereof.

today's just one of those days.

you think of brilliant things to compose your message with to send off to your friends, but when you do they don't reply. you think of home and all its simplicity and warmth, then you wait for the joy that never comes.

yes, it's one of those days.

***

Don't know why I'm still afraid
If you weren't real I would make you up now
I wish that I could follow through
I know that your love is true
And deep
As the sea
But right now
Everything you want is wrong,
And right now
All your dreams are waking up,
And right now
I wish I could follow you
To the shores
Of freedom,
Where no one lives.

Its.......

Taken from jeffooi.com

Mailbag from US
From: A very frightened Malaysian abroad
To: jeffooi.screenshots@gmail.com Date: May 28, 2005 1:05 AM
Subject: From a Frightened Malaysiann abroad

Dear Mr Ooi,

I have been meaning to pen some thoughts for some time now, to let people actually read the views of the typical ‘overseas Malaysian’ who is kept away. I realise that my email is rather long, but I do hope that you would consider publishing it (and also keep my name private!).I shall start by telling a little about my background. Mine is a rather sad tale – of a young Malaysian full of hope and patriotic enthusiasm, which is slowly but surely trickling away.I am very different from many other non-bumiputeras, as I was given tremendous opportunities throughout my childhood. Born into a middle-class Chinese but English-speaking family, I grew up with all the privileges of imported books, computers, piano/violin lessons and tuition teachers.My parents insisted that I should be exposed to a multi-racial education in a national school. In my time, my urban national school (a missionary school) was a truly happy place – where the Malays, Chinese and Indian students were roughly equal in proportion. We played and laughed with each other, and studied the history of the world together during Form 4, with one interesting chapter dedicated to Islamic history.Though 75% of my teachers were Malays, I never really noticed. My Malay teachers were the kindest to me – teaching me well and offering me every possible opportunity to develop. I led the district teams for English and Bahasa Malaysia debating competitions. I was the only non-Malay finalist in the Bahasa Malaysian state-level elocution competition. My Malay teachers encouraged me to transfer to a government residential school (sekolah berasrama penuh) so as to enable me to maximise my academic potential. I refused because I was happy where I was, so they made me head prefect and nominated me as a ‘Tokoh Pelajar Kebangsaan’. Till this day, I am absolutely certain that it was the kindness of all my Malay teachers which made me a true Malaysian.I excelled at school and was offered a Singaporean government scholarship to study overseas. I turned them down because I wanted to ensure that I would remain a ‘true Malaysian’ in the eyes of Malaysia. So I accepted a Malaysian government scholarship to study at Oxford University. Throughout my three years as an undergraduate, the officers at the MSD looked after me very well, and was always there to offer support.
I graduated with first class honours, and was offered a job with a leading investment bank. The JPA released me from my bond, so as to enable me to develop my potential. I shall always be grateful for that. I worked hard and rose in rank. My employer sent to me to Harvard University for postgraduate study and I climbed further up their meritocratic ladder. Now I am 31 years old and draw a comfortable monthly salary of US$22,000. Yet, I yearn to return home. I miss my home, my family, my friends, my Malaysian hawker food and the life in Malaysia. I have been asked many times by Singaporean government agencies to join them on very lucrative terms, but I have always refused due to my inherent patriotism.I really want to return home. I have been told by government-linked corporations and private companies in Malaysia that at best, I would still have to take a 70% pay cut if I return to Malaysia to work. I am prepared and willing to accept that. My country has done a lot for me, so I should not complain about money.But of late, my idealistic vision of my country has really come crashing down, harder and faster than ever before.I read about the annual fiasco involving non-bumiputera top scorers who are denied entry to critical courses at local universities and are offered forestry and fisheries instead. (My cousin scored 10A1’s for SPM and yet was denied a scholarship).I read about UMNO Youth attacking the so-called meritocracy system because there are less than 60% of Malay students in law and pharmacy, whilst conveniently keeping silent about the fact that 90% of overseas scholarship recipients are Malays and that Malays form the vast majority in courses like medicine, accountancy and engineering at local universities.I read about the Higher Education Minister promising that non-bumiputera Malaysians will never ever step foot into UiTM.I read about a poor Chinese teacher’s daughter with 11A1’s being denied a scholarship, while I know some Malay friends who scored 7A’s and whose parents are millionaires being given scholarships.I read about the brilliant Prof. K.S. Jomo, who was denied a promotion to Senior Professor (not even to Head of Department), although he was backed by references from three Nobel Prize winners. Of course, his talent is recognised by a prestigious appointment at the United Nations.I read about UMNO Youth accusing Chinese schools of being detrimental to racial integration, while demanding that Mara Junior Science Colleges and other residential schools be kept only for Malays.I read about the Malay newspaper editors attacking the private sector for not appointing enough Malays to senior management level, whilst insisting that the government always ensure that Malays dominate anything government-related.I read that at our local universities, not a single Vice-Chancellor or Deputy Vice-Chancellor is non-Malay.I read that in the government, not a single Secretary-General of any ministry is non-Malay. The same goes for all government agencies like the police, armed forces, etc.I read about UMNO screaming for the Malay Agenda, but accusing everyone else of racism for whispering about equality.I read about a poor Indian lady having to pay full price for a low-cost house after being dispossessed from a plantation, whilst Malay millionaires demand their 10% bumiputera discount when buying RM2 million bungalows in a gated community.I read about my beloved national schools becoming more and more Islamic by the day, enforced by overzealous principals.I read about my Form 4 World History (Sejarah Dunia) syllabus, which now contains only one chapter of world history, with Islamic history covering the rest of the book.As I read all this, I tremble with fear. I love my country and long to return. I am willing to take a 70% pay cut. I am willing to face a demotion. I honestly want to contribute my expertise in complex financial services and capital markets. But really, is there a future for me, for my children and for their children? I am truly frightened.I can deal with the lack of democracy, the lack of press freedom, the ISA, our inefficient and bureaucratic civil service, our awful manners and even a little corruption. But I cannot deal with racism in my homeland.I think this is the single biggest factor which is keeping people like myself away. And bear in mind – there are so many of us (researchers, scientists, bankers, economists, lawyers, academics, etc.). What people read about in Malaysia (like Dr Terence Gomez) is but the tiniest tip of the iceberg. You will be amazed to know about Malaysians denied JPA scholarships (which would have made them civil servants), took loans to attend Ivy League universities, but who are later asked to advise our government (on IT, economics, etc.) at fees running to millions of US dollars. Such information will never be published because it is politically incorrect.As a Christian, I pray for God’s blessing on this great country of ours. I pray that He blesses our leaders with the foresight and humanity to see that this will not work and cannot continue. I pray that they will have the strength to make our country a home for all Malaysians and that they will have mercy for the poor, including the non-Malays. I pray for true racial harmony and acceptance (not just tolerance) in Malaysia.

Yours sincerely,
A very frightened Malaysian abroad

A regret

2005-06-17T17:38:00.000+08:00

God is humourous and wonderful. He often makes twists in life to create some fun and awareness. It's the final week for KST to chat and crap around and my faulty computer showed its wings and made its way to the repair shop for three days. As much as I wished to spend this temporarily final days with all of you, I am afraid I have not the facility.

Therefore, I will post this message here for all, using another person's facility :

For all
I have a wonderful time with all of you. However, my computer do not support MSN, blame my stupidity for converting back to Windows 98 SE. Therefore, handphone seems to be the only way. I can always contact Daphne through Yin Nin, so I guess communication should not be a barrier for us to keep in touch. I am currently using "MSN" through Trillian, so I may send messages to you, but miraculously I am "offline". You may reply, no worries. Hope that I can muster all the tech skills I have and reinstall MSN before I leave on 23 June.

For Yin Nin
For reasons all of us should know, I wanna send a message to you first. Although I realised the drastic positive changes in you, I have a feeling that you still have the tendency to return to your former state. You have to obtain faith and hope and believe that there will be a sunshine after all the lightning. If you have anything to share, Yin Ling or any other KST members can always help you. After all, she will be around you for the next two years. Take this opportunity to find serenity in the midst of the workload. You can do it.

For Peter Tok
Peter, although we have not communicate that much, I did enjoy our BM battle. Unanimously, you are better than me in that. All the best wishes to you in your JPA struggle and I think you will emerge as the winner later. Give JPA some time. If you should stay in Matriks, don't just study what you are taught but also study what you are NOT taught to avoid troubles in the university later. You know what I mean.

For Chok Yin Ling
After more than 8 days I knew Peter and Yin Nin, I knew you. I think the first time we chatted is when PJKru wrecked up some havoc in the ReCom thread. Then, we blasted him together and forced him to say sorry for all that. I have always enjoyed your quick and nice response. Studying medic is many person's dream, so don't waste it.

For Patrick Leong Tian Weng
Patrick, before I knew you, your ReCom posts are intimidating. However, after I knew you, I have somewhat learned some of your ways. Now, I gained some of those non-civil skills. May God bless you in your medicine studies.

For Ang Nooi Hoay
Don't be so depressed. I totally understand your feeling. You will probably remember that I was made to wait for 6 weeks also to get a scholarship and my situation is much more tighter than yours as I don't have a very very good results. However, you should be proud of yourself as not many people can become like you. You will have all our supports and don't worry, I will try to find whatever ways to communicate here, so don't worry of losing a crapping mate.

For Cheah Yee Leng
Well, this "departure" is not bringing me further than you, but nearer to you and you will be "faithfully waiting" for us to go online. Therefore, there isn't much to say here.

For Lai Kee Huong
I think that you are so innocent and straight-forward. Good luck to you in Matriks. You will probably do well in it and get admitted into the university and study the course that you want. Send my regards to Melody and may God bless both of you's friendship (no special meaning, but you can imagine if you want to).

For Daphne Chong
I have always think that I am unfair to you, and now I am beginning to do that again. I guess I will have to know you better. Anyway, good luck in your future plans .

the first Orientation

2005-06-15T15:24:00.000+08:00

the time before recess time, all being occupied for our lower six's Orientation.
First of all, all lower six students were asked to sit in the 'astaka' which is near to the big field of school, listening to seniors' commands, instructions, and also teachers + headmistress' talk.

Then, we were asked to draw a paper from a box, to decide our group. Every group was guiding by an upper six student, our senior. I was in group 4, guiding by the prefect's leader (ketua pengawas)(an Indian guy), but I forgot about his post in form 6's club. All of those seniors are of the form 6's club's AJK, holding some post.

After settled down in each group respectively, we discussed and chose a group leader, ours was an Indian guy, and then we had to decide the team name also ~We were so quiet, don't have any idea at all, the senior was so eager, kept asking us for any idea~ ~, finally, we decided to name our team as "chain geng". It's of manglish actually, if in proper english, it should be " chain gang", the 'geng' is in malay. We did this acidentally as the malay gal who in charged in drawing the logo wrote wrongly ~
Then, we made the team cheer ~ we just shouted out the 'chain geng' word and did some big actions in group ~ I think we are the most oustanding group amongst all ^^it's because we kept shouting it and answered some command ~ lolx
when the senior said 'chain geng', we all have to say 'shhh' and put up our pointer finger to show other people to 'keep quiet' ~ lolz, don't forget oh, the senior is a prefect leader !
when the senior said 'adik abang', we all will have to say 'ya~, abang satia~' (in a special tone)it's not bad, quite fun~

OH~ we had to help teacher to wash their cars ~ some other groups were in charged in cleaning classrooms while some other had to wash toilets @@"
We washed two cars, but I don't think they were clean because we hard to take the water since it's quite far from the water source, we just 'cincai' did it =p
and... then, all gathered in the astaka again to listen to some instructions e.g: the things we have to bring for tomorrow. totally not a bad experience lar ~

let's crap until MOndaY.

2005-06-14T20:59:00.000+08:00

Let's sing, KST, for our friendship

2005-06-11T16:49:00.000+08:00

Let's sing this meaningful song together in one accord. (Yin Ling, Yin Nin, Patrick and Nooi Hoay, you all know what I mean) Err, I wonder if this can be our KST theme?

AT THE BEGINNING

We were strangers, starting out on a journey
Never dreaming, what we'd have to go through
Now here we are, I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

No one told me, I was going to find you
Unexpected, what you did to my heart
When I lost hope
You were there to remind me
This is the start

* And life is a road and I wanna keep goin'
Love is a river I wanna keep flowin'
Life is a road now and forever wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end I want to be standing
At the beginning with you

We were strangers, on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming, how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand, unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

[Repeat *]

Knew there was somebody somewhere
I need love in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing is going to tear us apart

[Repeat *]

Life is a road and I wanna keep goin'
Love is a river I wanna keep flowin'
Starting out on a journey

[Repeat *]

In the end I want to be standing
At the beginning
With you

-The End-

PS : I found this lyrics in the wedding songs page.....duh.

Good news for our dear Nooi Hoay

2005-06-11T11:52:00.000+08:00

Nooi Hoay, I think you have read this but I just wanna share again with all KST members :

Later, when opening the new RM1.1mil state MCA building in Alor Star, Ong said he had received an SMS from the MCA Youth that more than 100 SPM high achievers wanted the party’s help in their appeal to secure PSD scholarships.
He pledged to help these top scorers, especially those who had obtained 12As and 13As.

(Adapted from The Star, 11 June 2005)

Nooi Hoay, I need not say anymore. Send in your letter of appeal and it will be done.

Jika hari ini seorang perdana menteri berkuasa
Jika hari ini seorang raja menaiki takhta
Jika hari ini seorang presiden sebuah negara
Jika hari ini seorang ulama yang mulia
Jika hari in seorang peguam menang bicara
Jika hari ini seorang penulis terkemuka
Jika hari ini siapa saja menjadi dewasa
Sejarahnya dimulakan dengan seorang guru biasa
Dengan lembut sabarnya mengajar tulis baca.

Hargailah guru kita.

Oh. I just read the first KST post.

2005-06-04T01:54:00.000+08:00

And apparently I'm supposed to introduce myself. :) (oh yay, my favourite topic)

First of all, my name is Daphne. I have an elder brother who's a year older than me. He's in KMB slogging all out for his IB finals and recently got wonderful news that all Petronas scholars doing Petroleum Engineering will be going to the US. My sister is in Form 2. My parents are teachers, though my Dad is retired.

I read about my 'shimmering 10A1s' somewhere. I checked my result slip awhile ago...no sign of shimmers anywhere. :) I really don't see it a feat as great as some of you might think. Though if I got anything less than that I would probably be in a state of depression right now. It's weird.

I play tennis. Though most people are surprised when they learn of that fact, due to the fact that I am fat. Right Peter? I think the world's meanest people are those who criticise other people's physical appearances; and Mean People Suck (I have a batch that proves that).

I am online a lot, and have been keeping blogs/diaries/journals online since the middle of Form 1. Somehow I never get enough of it. I am an extrovert, as you may have already guessed. However I think I've been really quiet during the KST chats (that I was around for anyway)...due to the fact that I couldn't really differentiate one nick from the other.

At this point of my life, my friends mean more than anything in the world to me. When something means more than the world to you, you're risking it all to get hurt. Sometimes life sucks when people mean too much to you. You get hurt.

And then you get all jiwang-ed which is what I am right now so I think I should stop typing. After all my friend just asked me to translate something and I am bad at saying no.

Message me or something if you're interested in me and want to marry me. I prefer tall, dark, handsome, rich, smart, intelligent, nice, caring, kind, loving, chinese, humourous.

It's just what they do here, okay?

2005-06-01T18:27:00.000+08:00

Considering the fact that I am a member of the KST gang (look, my name is on the top of the list!), it would be a shame for me not to post here. Therefore here it is, people, my first ever KST post.

*break for berak*

I shall talk about friends.

I think about the future a lot. In my thoughts, I am surrounded by my friends - the ones I have now. We are laughing and sitting at a cafe talking about our lives. It doesn't matter that we are scattered throughout different parts of the world. When we're together everything just clicks; discomfort becomes an English word we hear about but never feel.

My good friend arrived from KL last night. A few hours ago, we were laughing and sitting at a cafe talking about our lives.

However it does matter that we are scattered throughout different parts of the world. A few hours ago while nervously fiddling with the piece of tissue paper I had in my hand, I felt uncomfortable.

The one thing I thought would never happen to us, happened.

Sigh.

2005-05-29T01:03:00.000+08:00

Hav to go back again tomoro. *sighs lifelessly.*

Holiday again~

2005-05-27T17:23:00.000+08:00

My form 6 school life, just last for 8 days until now, because start tomorrow, semester holiday start~!
hoho... so fast rest again, however, I'm not really wanting this holiday as I was in holiday for about half year already, sort of boring...

However, it will be a busy holiday compared with the past one, as I have to study my form 6 stuffs, I've bought some textbooks and will buy the rest tomorrow [maybe], so I can study on my own.

Besides, our chemistry teacher has already planned some extra classes in this two-weeks holiday as she scared she can't finish teaching all the syllabus and don't want just to ask us to read on our own but she wants to "walk the path with us together". Although facing her is quite scary and boring (as she is quite "fierce"), but.. we can't deny her as a dedicated teacher ^o^

lolx... some of the KST members have no difference for this holiday, because.. they haven't start any study yet, they are in holiday everyday =p however, they are going to the camp to have a wonderful gathering O_O
I can't go T_T" ~~~~

New Age

2005-05-27T09:19:00.000+08:00

A general term covering a wide variety of alternative spiritual and philosophical movements and beliefs.

New Age music incorporates relaxing, dreamy melodic lines with a quietly harmonic background, primarily in order to promote meditation.

Beliefs found among New Agers include:

All humanity—indeed all life, everything in the universe—is spiritually interconnected, participating in the same energy. “God” is one name for this energy.

Spiritual beings exist, and will guide us, if we turn to them.

The human mind has deep levels and vast powers, which are capable even of overriding physical reality. “You create your own reality.”

Nevertheless, this is subject to certain spiritual laws, such as the principle of cause and effect (karma).

You are meant to be here on earth, in your present surroundings, because you have a lesson to learn. The most important lesson is love.

Death is not the end. The afterlife does not punish us but teaches us, perhaps through the mechanisms of reincarnation or near-death experiences.

Science and spirituality are ultimately harmonious. New discoveries in science, rightly understood, point to spiritual principles.

Intuition is a more appropriate guide than rationalism, skepticism, or the scientific method. Western science wrongly neglects such things as parapsychology, meditation, and holistic health.

There exists a mystical core within all religions, Eastern and Western. Dogma and religious identity are not so important.

The Bible is a wise and holy book. Yet many important truths are not found in the Bible, or are referred to only very obliquely.

Feminine forms of spirituality, including feminine images of the divine, are particularly appropriate at this time.

Ancient civilizations such as Atlantis once existed, leaving behind certain relics and monuments (the Great Pyramid, Stonehenge) whose nature is misunderstood by mainstream historians.

There are no coincidences. Everything around you has spiritual meaning, and spiritual lessons to teach you. You are meant to be here.

The mind has hidden powers and abilities, which have a spiritual significance. Dreams and psychic experiences are ways in which our souls express themselves.

I find this really interesting in some ways. However, New Age received critiques from evangelical Christians owing to different beliefs. One thought to share here: when listening to New Age music, you find yourself drifting away from real life, that is if you define life as something hectic and fast-paced and forever moving forwards or progressing. New Age music actually keep your mind free from all trouble. You feel a sense of peace, calm, tranquility and harmony as well as the mutual relationship between your physical self and spiritual self.

Disclaimer: I don't think New Age music is suitable for any pessimistic person. It kills the power and the urge in you. It soothes you, bringing you to the lowest level of angst but the highest level of emotions. That is quite dangerous to people on the verge of commiting suicide, I believe. (Hmm, did I just make it sound satanic?)

Wooo……tired. So tired that I will do this piece in point form~

~Me and sno roamed sungai petani town today.
~Sno calculated the time needed to go from an end to another end of sungai petani. Its 15 mins only. I hate the uncountable traffic lights in sp town. I Cant even speed.
~First, went to Parkson. We were the only customers there. After flipping thru all the clothes for bout an hour, we decided to leave and go to The Store.
~sno wanted to diet as a result of looking at herself in the school toilet mirror. I persuaded her to cancel her plan.
~ We ate pizza calzone, 2 bowl of chicken soup, pepsi light ( not nice at all), and garlic bread.*grin*
~sno sms-ed Peter to tell him about the calzone. What a close kst pact we are. Makan also have to inform each other.
~ went to haunt every ‘lonely’ clothing stores, try out dresses, but decided to buy them only after we get JPA. :P the shopkeeper surely have a nightmare.
~ I noticed we started out conversation with “ After JPA…………” JPA is like a magic wand. So many good things will happen after getting JPA. Damn I am scared.
~ we never spend money today. Except eating ( that’s keperluan hidup, so doesn’t count).
We are good girls. Filial daughters.

Cerita tamat di sini.

6 more days to meet you guys. And dunno how many more days to jpa. Dun bother . ( but I can’t, I actually dreamt of something berkaitan JPA yerterday, I am freaking out).

KST ah,

I just want to let you guys know what a wonderful online gang you all are. Last night I chatted with this guy who use profanities like nobody business. I mean seriously dahsyat kind of cursing .I saw the ugly side of chatting last night. Even peter’s nose digging and butt shaking every minute looks 100 times better. Patrick’s kakak ganas even sounds 200 times good. Sno shalalalala is a gazillion times wonderful. albert …..( cant even compare).

So I decided, I will stick to KST for my online chat even if I am dead bored and you guys are not online. At least I know you guys won’t use the F word at me.

Thanks a lot. Looks forward meeting you people.

The need of As in my case

2005-05-23T21:35:00.000+08:00

Today is a public holiday in Malaysia, so I didn't go to school.
Sundays are public holiday in Malaysia too.
Yesterday was Wesak Day, another public holiday in Malaysia, and unluckily [should be luckily, ngek ngek] it was on Sunday, two public holidays in a day, hence today is another holiday for replacement.

Finish my opening, comes the content, why I said I need to get more A in my SPM?
Few weeks ago, I filled in a form attached with few documents to apply a "reward" for getting "good" result in SPM, it's offered by the templer near my house.
Yesterday, Wesak Day, also the day the templer announced and gave away the 'reward'. However, I was not in the list. There were only 5 rewards for SPM.
The best was 11 A1;
The second was 9A1;
The third (my standard 4-6 classmate who was also a monitor) was 8A1, 1A2;
The fourth (one of my best friend now, also standard 4-6's classmate, form 1-5's classmate) was 8A1, 3A2;
The fifth (my standard 6 classmate who is younger than us one year old) was 7A1, 4A2.

My result... not as good as theirs, just 6A1, 4A2, 1B3. Good? Don't think it's really good. Because of the existence of B, I failed to get the 'reward' offered by Hong Leong Bank and also this templer's.
Hong Leong Bank just offered to those get straight As, I ... fail to get it.
To many people (in my school also), my result is very good indeed, but this result in many popular school, it's just a normal result. I deserved to get this result as I didn't put much effort in it. However, I'm regret that I fail to get those 'reward's a.k.a $$. I'm regret also because I break my record for not getting full As in my important exam. (please don't think that I'm trying to boast, sorry to those get worse result, I'm not purposely say that)

If I was able to get those 'reward', I would have get about RM 800 totally.

Another bad thing happened yesterday, I slipped and fell down when I WALKED (not running) on the slippery floor in my house. The floor was slippery because the maid had just mopped the floor and I didn't know it...As a result, there is a big 'pretty' bruise on my right knee now.

This miracle youth camp somehow diverted our attention of the nerve-wrecking JPA to something fun. I am really looking forward to this event. Have to go shopping with sno to buy some long pants tomorrow.:P

KST, do you guys realize we might know our future when we are together in UPM? I pray that everything will turn out well, if not wonderful.

I cross my fingers.

2005-05-22T23:51:00.000+08:00

My experience in KMPP

Day One

It rained lightly when I first arrived at the college. After registering, I was given my room number. Much to my dismay, my room is situated at the block Al-Razi , the block farthest away from the academic area and office. To make it worst , its on the second floor!!... I was the first one to enter the room and got a shock when I discovered that the bed, cabinet and tables were so …. “antique” I would say as we have to nurture a spirit of loving our college and standing up for it anytime, anywhere including in this bloggie haha . Well, spent a few hours cleaning and putting everything to place. Then, we had the first ceramah which lasted until 11.30pm. After that, we went back to “urus diri” before lights were turned off at 12am. I couldn’t sleep that night, my mind was sub-conscious the whole night and damn, the room was so hot and humid.

Day Two

Woke up at 5am and attended the daily 6am moral lesson. It was conducted by facilitators which consist of seniors from the previous batch. Basically what we did was splitting ourselves into groups and work on assignments based on three topics. We are expected to make a presentation on the evening sessions for three days, each day with a different topic. The topics were:

Campus Romance
Self-Esteem – Do’s and Don’ts from various aspects in College
Study Skills

Then, we went to our respective LDK [Latihan Dalam Kumpulan] in the morning to meet up with our mentor. Had an ice-breaking session when we have to memorize everyone’s name in the group [30 of them!!] But I managed to anyway. Met a friend from a school nearby through the weirdest form of self-introduction:

A-me, B-my friend

B : Where are you from?
A : Hi , I am from Sitiawan, Perak.
B : I know you. You’re the smartest guy in ACS Sitiawan right?
A : [shocked and speechless] Errr….
B : Peter Tok right ? You’re quite famous in my school.
A : Yes , I am Peter Tok , and where are you from? [Embarassed bcos I don’t know him]

Sno, let me tayang saat ok ? :P

And the conversation went on , I find a friendly character in him , definitely the one to be sought after if I am to encounter any problems or “whatsoever” [my mentor’s favourite word]. My mentor is a very open malay lady and she’s really nice.

In the evening, we were informed to gather at the field in our sports attire. Initially I thought it was the aerobic exercise my senior mentioned a few weeks ago but when I went there they told us what we’re going to do : merentas desa. I was like WHAT THE…. But things weren’t that bad , some of us including me declined the opportunity to win prizes in the real tournament to be held on Thursday so we practically walked through the whole course and managed to irk the facis and the students who had finished the race waiting for us to arrive. HAHA

Bedtime as usual. Before that during Maghrib prayers session , we had the Moral lesson when the first batch of groups present their works… Pretty interesting I would say , one of the groups did a sketch when two of them hid under the table , got busted and expelled.

Day Three and Day Four

Moral , LDK , Merentas Desa , Moral , Sleep. Dead boring and tiring.

These two days were when I started to hate the lifestyle in KMPP . But my seniors was quick to console us that the weeks after orientation would be better. Well I hope so.

Day Five

More relaxed day because merentas desa is over and the malays had to perform their prayers in KMPP surau. During LDK , we were brought by our co-mentor to the various places in our school. We have the KMPP lake , 4 cafeterias , extensive sports facilities , gorgeous lecture halls , school-classrooms-like tutorial classes , and the spacious library. Didn’t have time to explore thoroughly because the time allocated for the session was only one hour. Then , I went to purchase my bus ticket and happily anticipating Day Six when I woke up , had breakfast , packed all my old clothes into a bag and set off.

Day Six

Took the bus from KMPP to Butterworth Station. Met with 10 other friends from the same district , don’t even know them before unless for my 2 classmates. And imagine how embarassed I am when I realized that one of the Chinese girl who are in my practicum group , is from a nearby school and her house is only abt 5 km away. We met at the bus station and Sno , I wont tell you her name.

Overall

Still to early to be sure whether I could adapt to the lifestyle in matriks or not but so far so good . Nevertheless , still hoping for JPA and not feeling like going back to KMPP tomoro. Sobs.

P/S : Pardon my crude English and grammatical mistakes , don’t want waste time , want to save some for my beauty sleep before going back to “hell prison”…. Hehe.

Hello, everyone, it's me, reporting from KML. Same as peter, I am in the matriculation program.

Now, sitting in the cyber cafe, RM4 per hour... ;(

Just to promote my KML, here is the URL. http://www.geocities.com/kmlabuan/index1.html
So, just go there and see the logo of KML. Initially, I wanna save the logo picture in the computer, then upload it here, but dunno how to...

My college slogan, Karisma, Madani, Luhur, which initial, KML, is also the initial of Kolej Matrikulasi Labuan, KML.

Thank You

2005-05-20T23:47:00.000+08:00

Most of us have been brought up to be well-mannered and to say "Thank You" whenever necessary. The words come out from our mouth so naturally and spontaneously that sometimes we ourselves do not realise that the two-word-phrase has been spoken.

Usually, I would say "Thanks" when someone pass me something, no matter how small the object is.

Today, as I'd told Patrick and sno, a traffic police wrote me a summon. After much arguments which proved to be failed self-defence, the traffic police handed me my summon. As usual, I felt like saying "Thank You" but this time I swallowed the words back in. I wonder what would it mean should I utter those words after being given a summon.

Anyway, now I would like to thank the traffic police for the great experience I had with him.

Dear Uncle Police:

Thanks for giving me a big shock when you signalled for me to pull over at the side of the road when I strongly believed that I had done nothing wrong. Thanks for giving me an opportunity to practise and improve my self-defending verbal skills (although I still failed to convince you that you should give me a second chance considering I'm a student). Thanks for drawing all the attentions of the public to me when they drove past us. Thanks for reminding me that ensuring the road tax hasn't expired is the responsibility of the car user. Thanks for spoiling my mood for the whole day and depriving me of my appetite (so that I can keep myself slim). And a million thanks for the whole new experience in my process of stepping into the adult world where I will have to handle all things by myself.

So long KST gang. I hope you guys can keep thinking positively and look on the brighter side of the world, albeit this is often easier said than done. I don't manage to do this all the time also. Just try your best.

[song playing: One of the tracks in The Sound Of Music] So long, farewell, it's time to say goodbye...
