sno goes penang

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

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

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

so i will post up some pics after the penang trip

crazy christian

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

Jia You

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hope to see others as well.

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

I've Grown!

 
 

Guys and gals,

Hoping u all could post some latest pics of yourselves.

=)

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

Good Start, Bad "Karma"

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

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

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

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

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

Albert

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

Wake up!

Wake up fellow KST members.

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

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

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

=)

Ushering In 2006

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

A Jot By A Sot

you tell me things willl get easier every day.

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

hey friends, how were your holiday?
I went for a trip to Penang on 8th - 10th December.
If you want to know about the trip, you can read my blog ya ^^
as it's a very very long blog, so... it's better to read in my blog ler
http://hedwigelaine.blogspot.com

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

Awaiting...

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

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

a comic from The Star:

Open and Honest

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?

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=)

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....

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!
