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
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!!!

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."

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.

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.
