Quotations!

hey guys.. just wanted to post some nice quotes i've gathered from all around the internet. see if any suits you : D


I want to be your favorite hello, and your hardest goodbye

Love your heart, don't cry it out for someone who doesn't even know your real name

To do what you love for your living means to actually loving your life

Sometimes what you need is to avoid what you want.


It's not about who hurt and broke you down, it's about who was always there and made you smile again

I love non-stop texting phase with the person I like

When I text u, means I miss u. When I don’t, that just means I’m waiting for u to miss me

You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams

Boys.. Don't make her wait for you just because you know she will!

Don't show too much love to anyone. Coz sometimes, it creates a non-curable pain when they start avoiding you

Just because we don't say certain things, doesn't mean we don't feel them.

Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine

A real relationship is like a river, the deeper it gets the less noise it makes


Sometimes the best memories are sad, because you know they will never happen again

People that are meant to be together always find their way in the end

I promise that there will be a day, when I won't be waiting for you to fall in love with me


Yeah, that's pretty much it. I've chosen those that somehow or rather relates to me once upon a time. haha, see if it applies to you! till the next one people.

Human minds

hey,
it's funny how those you think of the most.. think hardly if not nothing of you at all. and those you think hardly if not absolutely nothing of.. think of you the most.

haha.. that's all. wanted to convey that message :D

A good deed!

recent examinations have been fairly okay so far. i've got 13.83/15 for math so far. hopefully i can keep this up till the end. :)

Oh and dad let me drive his car the other day! haha.. it wasn't long before i drove it alone. feels so much better than mum's WAJA. alot smoother.. no offence to the WAJA :D

I've just had an extra add math class on sunday. Yeah, the good deed! lol. hey! i didn't even charge for that class. sometimes, you've gotta think bout others first you know? you never know, it could end up beneficial to you more than the other person.. :)
Not sure if we can finish the syllabus in time for any sorta revision. i can only pray and hope for the best!

Ahhh.. i've agreed with my gym buddy, Alfred to start off Saturdays with study time at church library in the morning... oh man! my whole saturday is fully booked! hahaha awesomeness

tonight's CLeague resumes.. hopefully MU beat Valencia tomorrow. too many draws away from home! Even last Sunday with Bolton! GAHH!!!

btw, i've found yet another hidden talent. her name i think... is stephenie gee... gosh her voice is like..... why don't you hear it for yourself :D









yeah, i'm that crazy bout her now... :D i mean, if you listen to her.. who isn't? i particularly like her rendition of love the way you lie. superb!!

anyways, i gtg do some work. hope you love her as much as i do.. :)

P.S. someone once told me..
"You do the wrong thing.. you know the consequences for doing the wrong thing.. and still you do the wrong thing..." xS

Passing phases

yeah, another blog post here. seems a rarity that I write stuff here anymore. so anyhow, i don't know.. past few weeks or so have been some what of like a phase. In a bad way!

it's like I tried to think 'bout what happened but nothing really stands out. Well, apart from the fact that I lost my voice for a good 5 days or so. Btw, my voice changed somehow. Don't know if it sounds better or not, some said it cracked! at 18?!? xS

Shows that i've been doing some seriously unnecessary stuff. ever get that feeling? regret as you burn daylight. watch it fly by without even noticing at times.

oh and she came by the house for a night the other day. I was leaving the guard house almost simultaneously as she was entering it. I could see the grin on her face as I stared motionless, watching her dad drive by my car. It was like in the movies! only, this was so real and now I know what it feels.. time stopped for a moment there



But oh well, after recent events I think its time to let go. Not worth the effort nor time. Yeah, sometimes it's just best to let go of something 'cause you never know.. something better is in store for ya. xD

ooh, and I've embarked on the SAW marathon. Watched it with the guys last night, SAW1 & SAW2. can't wait for the next one...



and Worship Conference was awesome!! Sidny Mohede was uber awesome! I never knew how good Indon/Malay songs could be. he really rocked it the other night. sadly, i wasn't able to make it for glen packiam's one... sigh - wasn't feelin' well -

AHHH!!! i musn't forget the 3-2 score!! HAHA!! It's okay Liverpool fans, you still have the League Cup! oh WAIT!! you're outta that too! HAHAHA!! Europa League then, 'cause MU ain't participating in that one. :D




gahh.. another long long day ahead tomorrow. doing worship again this weekend after such a long time. need some practice :S fingers getting rusty.. here are some of the songs im playing :)





anyways.. its 3.24 am now! gosh i need to sleep. till the next one peoples!!

Living the Life~

helloooo!! miss me much? *damn gay* hahaha

So here I am, 12.45 am 06/09/2010.. phewww! eight months have flown by. Anyways, just attended Change Your World Tour Yesterday.. it was awesome! Messages were great. YB Hannah Yeo was cool. didn't know she was so young. 1am was good. Well, I think I preferred the previous concert but this wasn't too far off :D

Been watching movies alot.. recently, SALT and STEP UP 3D!! woah, the latter was awesome.. especially in 3D! really cool. dancing was superb and the effects!! geeeezz.. now I really feel like dancing! especially to that song *Can't Even Handle me Right Now*



a pity I didnt learn dancing when I was young.. or guitar for that matter :)

Ahhhh!! SAW IV. really need to see the first, second, fifth and sixth sequel man!! ask dad to download ASAP.

Oh btw, I have Malaysian Studies exam this Tuesday. I dunno whats happening at all!! I'm so gonna shoot the whole thing. It's MCQ anyways.. so I have a 25% chance for each question. hopefully lady luck's with me.. and God Blessed I might just nick it :D

gtg now. it's already 1.10.. gosh so late. got college tomorrow. I'll leave y'all with a wicked song by Nelly.. damn nice, do enjoy !! :):)

A new LifeStyle~

hello you.. it's 4am in the morning and im blogging. maybe its because I just watched the freakin' SAW IV movie!! yeah, with no lights and a big screen with superb sound system.
*Note to self
-don't watch SAW movies alone in the dark again.

So yeah, it's merdeka btw!! yeah baby.. about the way I live. it's upside down, i'm literally nocturnal. I guess most of us are during college years ( or isit just me )

Really should get my timing back to normal. or I'm gonna be stunted. it's bad enough i'm only like 5ft 7 or 8 inches. at 18 years old!! mum keeps complaining the younger generations getting shorter. and I hunch apparently.. grrrr need to rectify that too.

Just had futsal today after so long. muscle aching and had a few bruises. I guess that's the price you pay for not playing for so long..

oh oh btw, I have a friend that once told me. She got her facebook account deleted. need to focus on other stuff.. so when it was nearing her birthday, she put it to the test on which of those who really care and know when her birthday really was.

You see, most of those only wish us due to facebook and all that kinda stuff. But those who really remember would give you a call, a text or sometimes even throw a surprise party for you!! xD

So yeah, try it out one time.. don't reveal your birth date on fb and see which ones wish you. They're the one that truly remembers your birthday.. hehehe

anyways, i'm getting sleepy now ( dunno how ). i'll post up another one soon enough. happy merdeka MALAYSIA!!

P.S.: Found another smashing hit song by britt Nicole. hope you like it

Too little time

hiya fellas.. yeah, been since i dont know.. the last time i blogged like ages ago. maybe just was never in the mood. oh well, here i am :)
So i'm into the 3rd semester.. 2nd semester wasn't too shabby. Made new friends, built stronger friendships and did many new things. Note to self, never go cycling for an hour in the early hours of the morning without eating anything before. :S

Hmm... results came back and I didn't achieve a single goal i set out. Lol, oh well.. if you aim for the stars, you'll probably only reach the moon. There's still this semester to salvage some pride. I might just do it this time. *might*

Grandma's baptism is over. haha, she did it before my sis and I. how crazy is that. oh well, good for her and the family then :D had the privilege to reunite with some old cousins during the baptism. They're all grown up, so old (haha) with girlfriends and all.

That kinda got me thinking.. they're all overseas now. living the life ya know. all the pictures i see really makes me feel as though I SHOULD be doing something worth while. setting up the future to be enjoyable. Games like DOTA and whatnot really should be minimal during this day of age.. *SOMEONE HELP ME!!*

Hopefully the next few months will bear some fruit. there aren't enough things I've done so far this year to be remembered for. Nobody wants 2010 to go by just like that right? haha, my pastor once said.. "would you want someone to ask you, ' so how was 2010 for you?' and you reply by saying 'what happened in 2010?'..." that'll just be soooo sad.

oh and I've found a new gym partner, Alfred. We gonna be hittin' the gym every week before church now. So, you guys better watch out for some changes soon enough :D

anyways, i gtg now.. hopefully i'll be more diligent in posting some stuff here. catch up with y'all again soon!!

P.S. found this unknown artist through Alfred. Her name is Britt Nicole.. she's not bad. this one of her songs that I quite like.. Enjoy!!

An end to another historical moment

Hey!! sorry for the sudden enthusiasm. Okay, I shall be myself now. *SOBSSS* Holland lost the finals! -sigh- I'm not against Spain; I actually love their style of football but I was really rooting for the Dutch. I guess the OCTOPUS was right yet again!!

Congrats to Spain players and nation, it was really nice seeing all of 'em so happy. Iker Casillas' face says it all. He even kissed his girlfriend on LIVE TV!! haha, apparently she was voted hottest reporter in the world (who gives them the authority to give her that title? though she is hot :D ). Oh and by the way, the referee seriously made so many bizarre decisions. The De Jong Kung fu kick, Puyol's foul and the clear corner kick that was given a goal kick. This call for some technology seriously!

Ahhh! how i want that feeling the Spaniards had the second the referee blew the whistle. I bet it was awesome. The whole world stops before you can even realise you've created history that generations in the future will remember for a very very long time. Phew!! I'm just getting high thinking 'bout it xP

Oh, did ya realise that the song "Wavin' Flag" was also dedicated to the Haiti people. It's not bad' even with the Bieber ending haha xD take a listen



Oh and I've just hit the Glee Season where Quinn stops wearing the cheerleader outfit. I think she was so perfect then, now she looks even better! Phew!! I've never had this ooomph since Nina dobrev xD

Anyways, go check it out. And there's this song by Mirana Cosgrove (the girl I use to think had a very annoying voice back in Nickelodeon) which is quite nice. Hope you like it :)



So I guess its the end of World Cup. Another 4 years in Brazil? haha, let's wait till then and see if Spain can retain their title. I guess this is the cue to start studying. exams and assignments are coming up! Oh oh!! and 180 Musical at DUMC is on this Sunday! do come!! 5pm or 3pm for the pre-event stuffs :D

I'll see y'all around soon. till the next one peeps

A new Addiction

Hey guys.. sorry been very busy with stuff of late. Haven't really got the chance to post anything up for awhile as ya can see. :)
anyways, been on this new addiction lately. It's called "GLEE"!! haha yeah that TV series you know? I guess probably right now in my life, i'm really intrigued by all these teenage drama stuff. It's kinda cool, if you haven't seen it yet. the actress Dianna Agron playing the role "Quinn" is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo HOTTTTTTTT!!! gahh, i love that girl. who doesnt?? Rachel is okay okay. not my type. So yeah, if ya don't know what i'm talking about, seriously go check it out man! and check HER out! :)

So, World Cup's been going on. One of my teams got knocked out (argentina), sadly to say. At least Holland made it through to the finals! I hope Spain avenge Argentina's defeat by beating Germany later tonight. Actually, I've never seen Argentina play so badly in that quarterfinal clash. Come to think of it, I'm statring to believe in all the match-fixing bookies stuff. For example, that Holland-Brazil game.. at the end Holland could've easily scored 3-4 goals but they played like kindergarten kids towards the goal. Oh well, I hope there's none of that nonsense later tonight. GO SPAIN!!

I've gotta go now. need to sleep in order to wake up for the match later. will post some personal commentary 'bout it. xD
till the next one peoples!!

My story Book

hey guys. Sorry, have been busy lately. doing stuff, assignments, tests.. didn't really have enough time to post something up. anyways, i'm here now. :D

First of all, Fifa WORLD CUP 2010 has been quite disappointing thus far. Only Germany have shown somewhat of a world class pedigree as they beat Australia 4-0. The rest have really been boring and even Spain lost to Switzerland!! and to think I had predicted a 3-0 or 4-0. 2nd round of matches start later, let's hope for something better this time. SOUTH AFRICA FTW! :)

i've got another 2 days of college before holidays start. Hmm... should we have a CG outing this saturday? oh and I'm heading off to Singapore for a few days with me high school mates. It's been quite some time since we've got together, so I think it'll be great. I think Joy and whoever else helped did an awesome job planning. These are the kinda people you would really want in a team project and whatnot. Though, Kai xiang can't be able to make it :( sucks

Oh and i can drive already. Did i tell you? well, only around KK for now but thats good enough. Hopefully I'll be able to drive out further soon :) give me a holler if you need a ride :P

i've been watching some sentimental videos lately. Then I thought to myself... maybe in say.... 10-15 years time, when i'm somewhere in another country (probably europe).. at a countryside town with some friends sitting in this field of yellow flowers and the wind breezes through our faces accompanied by the warmth the sun knows only.. that I might think and look back at all the wonderful memories life has given me in the past. Flashbacks you know.. somehow I have this vision that it will happen one day. kinda like the video "Wake me when September ends".

Wouldn't that just be an awesome moment? when the world around you just stops for a period of time where you can just appreciate life as it should be, watching the happy and memorable images pass by. It is after all your own personal story book that you and probably God knows every single detail of it. ahhh, how soothing that'll be :)

So yeah, i'm writing my book as i'm writing this post too. hahaha, it really gives you a wake up call as to what you're doing with life. You don't wanna turn 80 one day and look back at a scarred or scribbled page in your book. No regrets! That's what I need to live for. Maybe you should too.

need to get back on track with life. i'm 18 for heaven's sake.. should enjoy as an 18 year old while i still can :D it's 28 minutes past 1am now. Been like that lately, not good for health. so i guess i'll see y'all again.. hopefully sometime soon :)

till the next one peeps..

NERDS here i come!

yo wassup.. okay i've had my last day of fun today. It's time to start the transition into nerd mode starting tomorrow. I reviewed my study hours for the past month or so.. it's been an average of 0 and 1 hour per week... gahhhh!!! this sucks. I feel guilty. Ever felt that? When you play and go out, having fun.. a part of you just tells you "HEY THAT JUST ABOUT ENOUGH!".

So yeah, I'm having that life revelation now. I recently scored a 3.8 outta 5 for this ridiculous math assignment that I could've easily scored the full 5 had I not done it half-awake. grrrr, didn't occur to me while I was doing it that it was worth the 5 marks. must've slipped my mind. From now on, I ain't going to give away any more free marks.

Topic tests are coming up. I'm going for the 10% for math. I'ma make sure this semester math score's above 90. English above 85% and macro econs above 80%. Malaysian studies is a different story. hahaha, yeah history is quite boring. But I think they're only having the interesting parts and its in english so it isn't too bad. I'm gunning for a 90% for that too.

As you can see, i've set my standards. Have you for yours? if you haven't then it's about time you do. Or else what's the point of you studying? You need a goal!

Away from the nerdiness.. Stosur lost the final x(
Oh well, Nadal still to win tomorrow's men singles against Soderling xD

Hmmm... recent rocking songs in my playlists..

IYAZ - SOLO
EMINEM - Not Afraid
Hayley ft. eminem and BoB - Airplanes
Mizz Nina ft. Colby O'Donis - What'cha waitin' for
Taio Cruz - Break your heart
Alexander Burke ft. Pitbull - All Night Long
Taeyang - Wedding Dress
Charice ft. Iyaz - Like a Pyramid
Your love is my drug - Kesha

these few songs :) try to listen to them if you have the time xD

anyways, i gtg now. Get to drive tomorrow morning.. yay! :) c'yall then

A whole new world

hi there. yeah, you. Well, first things first... I passed my driving exam xD how cool is that huh? scored a 17/20. haha, i don't really care bout the score.. as long as i passed it.

This means, i'm a legal driver. Might be getting a car, dunno when though. For now, i'm just practicing with parents before they actually allow me to drive on my own. I wonder how long that'll be? how long was yours? haha

Oh and what kinda spoiled my day was that my SPM remark results were back.. after sooo long. It turns out everything remained the same, "KEKAL" as it was written. Oh well, i guess maybe I had too high an expectation. It was worth the try ;)

Just finished 2nd last practice for CES CHOIR. the shirt provided isn't too bad. A lil' baggy (according to some) but over all okay. We sounded pretty good upon recording. haha, it was like we had our own studio. pretty cool. I can't wait for next week!!

Speaking of next week, someone mentioned South Africa during practice today. haha, it's gonna be a FOOTBALL FRENZY soon. Just another week! HOLLAND and ARGENTINA!! ALL THE WAY BABY!!

oh and federer is outta FRENCH OPEN. That leaves NADAL as the favourite.. haha, another GS title in the bag RAFA. Oh and I'm supporting Stosur in the women's draw. she's quite good xD

college has been good to me lately. Starting to express myself more. Knowing lots more people. Then again there's this side of me i'm trying to get rid of. The loud talkative side. The boastfulness at times. Gahhh, sometimes it comes out naturally before I can even control it and that's what hurt the most. Do you have something similar? Something about you you just really want outta your system. Gosh, it's about time I start to grow up. Russel Peters once said, "be a man! Do the right thing!". haha or should the honour go to the chinese dude who said it? :P

anyways, been sleeping very late these past week or so. Friends and I having some fun on9 till late nights which isn't very good for health. tsk tsk, those of you staying up till 1am or so and with school the next morning should really kick the habit now :)

so yeah, it's 12.39am now. haha, i'd best go to sleep. talk to y'all again soon.. good nightss

PARTY!

hey there... attended a party the other day. They played this song... and it's been ringing in my head non-stop. It's an awesome song! makes you really wanna go party and move around. I think I might just go for another party one last time before I go "nerd" mode 100% xD

here's the song! ENJOY!!

Slowly but surely

haha.. yeah whats up. i'm back here again :)
so, i've been doing some deep thought of late. I've watched a few of my friends take off overseas, taking full advantage of their scholarship opportunity. That's awesome huh? One to India doing dentistry, another to Australia doing psych. Yeah, i know, pretty cool right?

Now if only I had studied a LIL' bit harder!! haha, then I could be one of 'em too. But there goes the "if only" again. -sigh- I'd like to come to a point in life where there is no need for the use of those two words. don't you? as drowning and sickening that feeling is, I guess it is and will always be true for the rest of my life. haha, yeah same goes for you too for whatever you missed out on.

That brings me to today's topic. I was just browsing through my cousin Kelly's facebook photos lately and I see the joy she's going through, studying overseas. Friends she's made, places she's been, cultures she's come to know. Made me think...

HEY!! there's a whole new world out there. and its just waiting for me to go explore it. haha, I did have a dream to accomplish before I die, that is to visit all the 7 WONDERS!! you should've a long life dream too. x)

but anyways, really made me realise i'm so stuck with life here. Gosh!! assignments, relationships, futsal, endless time wasting. It kinda gives me a bump in the head saying, "DUDE!! wake up. Do something useful thats actually gonna help YOU for a change!"

Of course, sometimes it's okay to be a lil' bit more concentrated on improving yourself. :)
Who knows, maybe one day when I'm out there doing something worth remembering.. probably someone else would see my situation instead and get inspired as I did with Kelly.

So yeah, if you haven't been doing anything fruitful.. I strongly suggest you take some time out to think about it. It could change your life just like that *SNAP*. haha

Okay so enough with the life revelation for now. Grandma is back! She went holidaying in China for over a week. GAH!! i wanna go holidays, probably europe. Furthest I've been to is Australia. xS

Oh and yesterday was CES Choir practice again. We're just doing some fine tune ups before the last practice this Thursday night. The following week will be the performance. So if ya wanna catch me in uniform in a CHOIR for the FIRST time, come to DUMC Dream Centre on the 12th and 13th June 2010. It's during MCCC! It's gonna be SO AWESOME!! ;)

anyways, I got to go now. Taking a cab to college :)
P.S. I'm having my JPJ exam tomorrow! Let's hope I pass it and I can start driving my friends and I around. NO MORE WASTING TIME!!

WORLD CUP in 10 days? xDxD

FRENCH OPEN : NADAL STILL TO WIN :)

Eyes :)

whats up you! yeah.. so the very fact that i'm posting this right now means i'm not blind! haha how cool is that? yeah, doctors said nothing wrong with my eyesight. Got me a lil' worried for a moment there..

So, it kinda got me thinking.. my eyes. precious little things they are. I seriously need to appreciate them. I saw a few people who had some serious problems with their eyes( I wont describe it ). I guess God's beautiful creation must be put to good use.

What are you doing with them? you looking at things you not suppose to? taking care of it the way its supposed to be? they're a powerful thing. sorrrrryyyy if i sound over dramatical, haha.

okay fine, changing subject. I've just re-watched the movie My sister's Keeper with my sis. Still it touches me somehow, nearly brought tears rolling down my cheek. THAT SONG! gahhh, so simple yet meaningful in ways i cannot describe. I've got it here, you can listen to it and really understand the lyrics. Uberly awesome man! very EMO though xP

Oh and had futsal match yesterday. FIA january intake v FIA march intake. It was a good game. The players were friendly except for a few. Towards the end of the game, I tackled the ball cleanly and this dude pull my hand back nearly ripping off my skin! ZZzz, 3 red marks were on my hand. gahhhh, so rough. CHINESE!! i can never understand some chinese people. even the malay dude was so friendly. I guess maybe he didn't like losing that much. Un-sportsman like. You win some you lose some man.

You ever felt that before. Something touted to be a nice friendly activity ends up being slightly more brutal than expected. People not showing sportsmanship is really a disgrace. -sigh-

Speaking o' sports.. French Open is up and running. Safina is outta the first round. I seriously dunno how she got to No.1. the way she played, utterly disappointing.. I'm still banking on Nadal to win. Now that guy is a true gentleman. xD

Football's getting hotter each day, leading up to the World Cup. Watch out for all the latest news..

By the way, I'm going through my earliest posts on this blog. haha, October 15th 2010 will be its 3rd birthday. It's nice reading through what you wrote last time. Brings back fond memories...

Anyways, i gtg now. Watching another movie now, Sherlock Holmes this time. I heard it wasn't too bad. Hope im not disappointed :)

P.S. here's the song for your entertainment.. ( no, not the Adam Lambet song! )

Events Galore!

hielo there..
it's been two days in a row now that i've been coming back late. Doing loads of stuff lately. Tomorrow continues with appointments with doctors and friends. Oh btw, if you never noticed.. i've got this lil' problem with my left eye. somehow it's kinda more sensitive than my right one. A lil' smaller too at times. So, have to check up with the eye-specialist tomorrow.. hopefully nothings too wrong with it.

There are too many things these days. And just when I had the mood to borrow economics books to start STUDYING (1st time), then all this comes up. I even have Teacher's Day to attend tomorrow. xS

Maybe it's God's way of keeping me alive through these hard times.

Oh and during English class today, we were told to write poetry comprising of many different types. It was done in groups and this one group wrote a love/hilarious/goofy/seductive poem for my teacher. haha, it was awesome.. I felt seduced! LOL!!

haha ever tried that before? if you haven't I seriously encourage you to. Boy or girl it don't matter. Preferably boy.. a girl doing it just doesn't seem very right hehe :P

So anyways, WORLD CUP is in 16 days!! I'm gonna watch at least a match everyday if i can. Not gonna miss it for the world :P You shouldn't too!!

aikhz.. its 11.40 pm now. have to get some sleep now. see y'all again soon then. nights

Top Performers?

heya. Hm... my mum had a chat with Ms Ruma Lopez today, inquiring bout the fees for the second semester. Apparently Ms Ruma remembered my name, as one of FIA's top performers xS
Just so you know, I had 3A's and 2B's for my first semester. haha, I guess that kinda gives you somewhat of a picture of what FIA is like. Oh well, I don't know if I should feel happy or sad :P

Anyways, mom told me a story.. of how a girl who scored a mere 2A's in SPM managed to attain a full scholarship for her degree course and so forth (i think). This was all because she worked very hard after the disappointment of form 5. She concluded the telling tale saying how there is still hope after SPM.

HMMMMMM...... I guess this could probably be a wake up call. PMR and SPM have been somewhat of a blessing I guess. Didn't really study much, well I guess you could say I hardly studied at all during my schooling life. The only time that ever happened was probably UPSR, the only exam to date that I actually felt confident leading up to the momentous exam days.

Gahhh.. I need a drive! some form of adrenaline, something that would hit me THAT HARD in the head!! you have any ideas? 'cause I guess I am 18 already after all. getting old peoples!!!

Oh and 2nd semester is coming in thick and fast. Assignments, activites... just when I was enjoying a lil' daybreak. A-Levels having their semester break xS

Oh and there's this awesome version of the song AIRPLANE by HAYLEY (paramore) feat. B.o.b and Eminem. I hope you enjoy it. don't mind the slightly *crude language...



Gtg guys... duty calls me for far more important stuff. Btw, I have been a lil' emo lately. THAT MEANS!!! NEW SONGS!! haha...
i'll post some up the next time. :)

see y'all

Love

Hiya there,
No.. if you're thinking what you're thinking 'bout today's topic then it's not exactly what I mean. I'm talking 'bout the friendlier and more subtle version of love. haha..

I guess I never took time to appreciate the love I have, be it from my friends, family or even God Himself. I guess I am now. Let's go one by one...

Edwin and Kai xiang.. always there with me if i needed someone to chill with. Just the guys enjoying life during the good and bad times. 2008 has been a great year but nothing compares to 2009. I'm sure we'll have an endless time of friendship years to come :)

Sarah-Ann and Wendy.. gosh, i still dunno how we got so close. But ever since form 3 I guess you were and still are one of my closest buddies. 'Em endless calls talking nonsense, everything I will always remember. When I can drive, we'll go out alot more often yeah?

Michael.. gah, taught me soo much. i can only be so grateful. Buddy, mentor... thank God He sent someone like you to me. It has changed my life ever so dramatically and I still thank Him to this date. Someone whom I will always remember :)

Danial, Kabir, Ashraf, Sean.. buddies @ primary school and buddies forever. haha, nice clump of races huh? malay, mamak, sikh, chinese.. lolz. I couldn't have found a better group of friends then :)

Shaun, Eugene, Isaac, Laviniya, Priya.. group of peoples whom I had an awesome time with. You guys are really great. The times we spend together will definitely be memories for which I shall cherish for a long long time.

And to my other friends, teachers and church members... it has been a blast hanging with y'all. My years at high school and primary were definitely to die for. I wouldn't have changed anything as the way it was. I'm just truly grateful. :)

Phew!! haha, it's like as though I'm at my funeral just before I die. Of course to my family and HIM, with love I thank y'all for everything. 18 years of my life have come with blessings aplenty. whew!! 18 years! man im old.... ZZZzzz

So yeah, when troubles come.. I guess these are the few people I look to. I bet you have your own list of awesome people that you hold ever so dearly to. You really need to take some time to appreciate them just a lil' bit more. This is before you lose 'em and never get the chance to do so. :)

ANYWAYSSS.......back to life. I've been entrapped into the Vampire Diaries saga again. Dad downloaded more episodes.. Gosh, how I love Nina Dobrev!!!

Oh and in case ya didnt know.. yesterday was Global Day Of Prayer 2010!!! if you weren't at Stadium Malawati then you really missed a historical event. I hope y'all did your own prayers at home. Stand United as ONE for the LORD!!

Aikhss... I gtg now. Sarah waiting for me on the phone. I'll talk to y'all again soon? haha, have a good one peoples!

P.S. found a lovely new song. ENJOY!!

Surprise!!

heyyyy whatsss uppppp peoples in the housee!!

So yeah, first of all I didn't get the JPA scholarship to go overseas. Well anyways I wasn't really expecting it, chances were very low. O'well, there's still the glimmer of hope on the local one.

Then again, none of my friends got it so if they can't even get it.. I didn't really think I could get it. Though it was kinda fun telling some of my friends I got it..

Alicia: beng way!! so how? did you get it?
Beng way: yeah
Alicia: serious?? congratsss... where to?
beng way: papa new guinea
Alicia: zzzz

hahaha... it was cool. News traveled fast, 'cause within 15 seconds other knew I got the scholarship. And within 10 seconds they all knew I was bull-shitting.. haha. And that was when I only told Alicia bout it. cool huh?

Oh oh in case you didn't know. My mum was online chatting with other peoples on the day of the release. haha, 'em nerds!! xP
Lol, i had a feeling she wasn't talking to other applicants. I think they were probably the mothers of applicants too just like her. HAHA!! A forum for moms x)

By the way, each time my mum refreshed the JPA page.. apparently an increase of averagely 70 hits per second. How crazy is that? 70 people refreshing the same page per second at the same time.. ZZZzz NERDS!! xS

so anyways, bout the topic for this post. I guess well, I've been going through the motions lately. Good times, bad times. An even mixture of both. Some ended happily while others not so good. I guess we all have rough patches in life huh? yeah, but this time I guess i'll be a lil' bit more mature in handling 'em. You should too! xD

This is especially for those events which totally surprise you from outta the blue. I mean some things I really didn't expect to happen, but it did. You experienced it before? I guess you just really need to pick yourself up and get through it.

Oh and look, I found the perfect song for today's post. I'm not sure if y'all know this song but I had it up as my blog song some time ago.. haha hope you enjoy it!



P.S. Champs League Final is starting in about 2 hours! Inter v Bayern!! haha i think i might just watch it! 2am?!?!? xD

i'll see y'all around soon. needs to hang out with my friends more... seriously

Could it all Change?

hey peoples.. look i've been keeping up with the blogging for the past few days.. haha xP

So, it's the 20/05/2010.. Thursday 5.47 pm. I just got the news yesterday that the JPA results would be coming out tomorrow. Phew!! after all the steps, I'm finally here at this point. *applying/hospital tour/interview*
It could alter the course of my future really... a decade set before me. haha, yeah it looks like "whoa!" if you say it like that but I guess I'll take it slowly one step at a time. I can't wait for it!!

Oh and judging by my friends' results in their remark of the SPM papers, it doesn't look too good for me. A majority of them had their papers "Kekal" as the original grading given to them. I hope mine doesn't though, or rm200 *poof* just like that!

Btw, I've just completed another 3 hours of driving lesson this morning. Apparently, i could do my QTI test this saturday and the other tests on June 2. that means I could get my license as soon as 2 weeks!! how cool is that? no more waiting on transport and wasting time anymore!!

Speaking of this morning, I was wondering if to skip econs class for the driving 'cause I didn't want to cancel my driving lesson instead. I'd booked 3 hours and telling the instructor so last minute might aggravate him and so I went with the lesson. Phew, how please I was to hear that the econs class was cancelled! So I killed two birds with one stone! Sorry to my other classmates who went to college for nothing. Sun-U was quite inefficient.

It's the Champions League 09/10 final this saturday!! Friends asking me to go out mamak. Sure, but it's 2am! gahhh, I hope I can get a few people to come along xD

Oh, I finally reconciled with people whom I thought we argued for no good reason. Well, I really don't like being in a heated situation with someone.. so yeah xD

anyways, i gtg peoples! Oh and GLOBAL DAY OF PRAYER is on this SUNDAY!! Let's stand united people!

The little things...

hey there.. yeah sorry, had neglected this blog for abit. I'll try to be more consistently consistent next time. :)
so how've ya been? I hope you're not wasting the next 5 mins of your life on this post xP

so, these past few weeks have been somewhat a learning experience for me. Apart from the college stuff which too had taught me so many things (apart from the education). Well, yeah i've come to learn one valuable thing for which most of you might already have heard of. Its about cherishing what you have now before you regret it when its gone forever. xD

haha.. deep statement.... and no, just in case you're wondering, im not emo-ing. xP
oh well, it's just that the people around me now (*winks*), the things i have, the life i live... all the little things. I'm taking a slight paradigm shift on them. haha, maybe my ever shallow mind was so engulfed in the joys of life that I didn't really pay attention to some of the awesome things and people i have. yeah, i guess you could say I lost a few precious things... hence the sudden revelation xD

anyways.. away from all that. I've joined the CES choir in church. So yeah, we gonna perform for MCCC this year. not bad huh? sign up for MCCC and you might just see me up on stage :P

College life is not bad so far.. still surviving xP oh btw, i got my first sem. results.. I had an A,A,A,B,B. Grrr.. one of 'em B's was only 1 mark away from an A !!!
o'well, i'll be thankful for the A's that nearly ended up being B's..

all in all.. life's been treating me pretty okay lately. Well, one thing's for sure. I'll definitely enjoy it better the moment my license arrives! i've got 4 hours down and 6 more to go!! Gosh, I really cant wait to drive. All those hours wasted will finally be put to a stop. xD

Oh and i've watched a couple of movies lately.. iron man 2 (not bad) and Nightmare on Elm Street (okay). I really wanna watch IP Man 2 though. everyone says its awesome! can't wait for that too !!

sikes.. i've run outta time people. i'll catch y'all around sometime. c u then and have a nice day!!

Semester break!

1 1/2 weeks of holidays. awesomeness.. oh, hi there :D
yeah, I've just finished the 1st of 3 semesters for my foundation year. exams are over! oh and speaking of exams. my english test!! gahh, just a tip. if they recommend you to do 2 essays, the first within 30 mins and the next within 1 hour.. you should probably follow their recommendation. and remember to bring a jacket to a freaking cold place or you'll regret it. this is what happened...

1 hour 15 mins before the end. (it was a 3 hour exam)
I've completed the previous parts, got two more essays to go. I spent roughly about an hour on the 30 min recommended essay. that leaves me with 15 more minutes. and by the way, the last 30 mins, all of a sudden my body was literally freezing! and the last 10 mins! i needed to go to the toilet!! and I still had a 1hour recommended essay to write in 15 mins!!

so yeah, i wrote it without stopping or even blinking.. literally xD
I ran to the toilet immediately after the exam, and you could imagine the relief xP
so I really hope I did well or at least reasonably okay..

Math and econs test wasnt too bad. haha I had a wager with my math teacher, if I scored 100% for the test, she'd treat me to dinner. haha! I'd be expecting my dinner soon xPxP

so holidays.. overplanned x(
yesterday had futsal in some unknown place for which i got my leg injured x(
today.. blah have to cancel paintball with friends for add math tuition (oh btw, i'm teaching add maths now! haha).
mission conference starts tonight! cant wait.. tomorrow whole day gone.. conf, church, dinner with relatives. sunday also same.
next week also have lots of stuff planned. oh well, i hope holidays doesnt pass too fast! i still need to learn to drive !

oh btw, you guys ever heard of Plants v Zombies? its a game.. mini game. It's kinda like Tower Defense. not a bad game, quite fun haha xD

so, what'cha doing with your days recently? April 2010 is ending! go do something fun! x)

oh and i just might return to the scrabble scene for abit. haha, got my DOTA addiction over. more time for scrabble now :)

and I guess you could say I did enjoy my prize giving ceremony. they didn't play the Vitamin C song though :(
I did get to see Puan Ong though.. haha, after some bad timing.. we always couldn't meet. anyways, had some fun. I got to be the monitor again for one last time. led the class to greet her again. haha! xD gonna miss the place and the peoples.

I've been meeting some pretty cool people lately. I hope to do more of that in the future. need to overcome a slight shyness I have... :P

until the next one peoples.. i better go for now!
ciaoz!

This is it!

Hi peoples.. so i guess tomorrow will be the last day my friends and i walk into the secondary high school as people who are actually related to the school as somewhat of students(not sure that came out correctly)

loads of pictures and memories expected tomorrow. I just wanna have a good time. lets hope i do x)
i can find no better song to relate to than this...

"Graduation (Friends Forever)"

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
And we would get so excitedand we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
From whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels

La, la, la, la:
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la:
We will still be friends forever

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

ciaoz peeples... next week 1st semester final exams. gotta study!

Medical Interview

hiya peeps... so yeah, remember how I was gonna tell you 'bout the whole interview experience? yeah okay.. let me roughly brief you through it. Gathered at the place at about 7.30am. It was at Presint 5 i think.. the big building!

Loads o' people were there. people started checking which panel they were in (i think there were bout 15 panels in all). Each panel consisted of 3 interviewers. i was in panel 6 along with my friend Eugene. we registered.. gave our photo-stated documents and waited for our turn. I was the 3rd group to go in, eugene the following one. we heard ppl talking bout their interviews.. some asking bout H1N1, globalisatoin, smoking.. all sorts of stuff. kinda got me a lil' anxious... hopefully they don't ask me too many factual questions. I don't think i can answer too many of 'em!

My turn.. We go in by fives.. i was number 4, the only chinese and boy.. 3 malay girls and an indian girl. Judges were a malay woman, man and chinese man. We were told to seat down on prepared chairs 'bout 2 meters from the panel. Malay woman told us to give an introductory.. in which she spoke in rojak (english/malay) so I guess the first girl played it safe by answering in malay. We followed suit.

The questions posed were simple and casual ones... the first two interviewers we conversed in malay..
Q#1
what have you done in the past that you think has helped you in improving your soft skills that could possibly help you in your future career and how?
Q#2
What do you see yourself doing in 10 years?
Q#3
What is your favourite colour? ( just to break the ice i think )
Q#4
Who is your idol?
Q#5
What have you done in the past that has made yourself and others proud of you apart from your SPM results?
*now in english*
Q#6
what is your biggest influence in life?
Q#7
would yo prefer to study oversea or locally?

So yeah, that's basically what they asked. its was a good experience.. so those who are going for any interviews as such anytime soon.. the only advice i can give you is just be yourself, stay calm and speak confidently.. you'll be okay :)
gtg peeps.. see y'all soon

Friends Forever

hey guys.. So I've just watched the movie 'My Sister's Keeper'. I think It's quite a good movie.. definitely one to remember. If you haven't watched it, I strongly suggest that you do. I think it's based on a true story... or on a novel. Anyways, I don't wanna spoil anything for you. go check it out yeah?

My prize giving ceremony is on this weekend. You know I can still remember exactly how it was like 2 years back when I just finished PMR and was watching all those SPM candidates take their prizes. Phew, I'm one of 'em now. How time flies just like that. It's good to see friends again.. not to mention teachers as well xD

I was really hoping they would play this song during the last day of SPM or at least when we collected our SPM results. I guess not. Who knows? they might still play it this weekend... I guess this is probably the number#1 song for situations like this. it's a classic. If im not mistaken, my primary school played this as the std6's walked out of school as students for the very last time.

Very emotional.. some even cried and I mean boys too!

I'm sure it'll bring some down to tears if they actually play it this weekend xD

anyways, I saw a quote that was quite meaningful. haha, i might use it in one of my essays one day. xP

"If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, it's yours forever. If it doesn't, then it was never meant to be."

hehe sounds exactly like how the movie Serendipity played out. that is also quite a nice movie.. kate beckinsale is in there (HOT!)

gotta guys.. enjoy the song, i'm sure you all know it already :) just allow urself 4:41 minutes to be a lil' sentimental. have a great one peeps!

Legalized

hey.. so we're 4 months into 2010 already. How fast is that? Sometimes its okay to take a break for an hour or so just to look at life itself... enjoying all the happy moments before. So yeah, another day.. another year. I'm 18 now. Heck, its passing all too fast. I can still remember my 17th.. I was quite happy cuz i was the senior in the school. And well, that coinciding with the fact that I was expecting something from someone after the march 6th incident. x(

It's been 18 years since i came out from.. *ahem ahem* i guess you can say I am legal now. haha.. I kinda feel old but at the same time young somehow. Does that make any sense??

I had a pretty good birthday, though I must say I wished I had celebrated it with my best buds.. out somewhere. There's nothing better than to just spend time with 'em. I did go out with friends to watch 'Clash of the Titans'.. not as nice as the trailers had appeared to be. a bit disappointed. I had a couple of friends stay overnight.. eugene and jeck (new friends from college)

thanks y'all for all the wishes. much appreciated.. and all the personal calls. Natalie, next time when i say i'm in class... dont call me 16 times. xS and sarah, im still grateful you called :)

Had a great present. A laptop.. haha, yeah thanks dad and ma.

Oh and 'bout the interview... maybe i'll elaborate more bout it another day? I'll give you a proper insight of how it exactly went. i enjoyed it.. haha xD

oh and sadly I couldnt celebrate MU's victory the other night. I wanted them to win.. but i should've wanted them to qualify for the semis. Oh well, EPL all the way now :)

I'll stop here for now. I'll try to keep up with me posting as much as i can. see y'all soon

Easter 2010

hey. So Good Friday went by a couple o' days ago and its Easter today! Cool... had a gathering at my house, parent's cell group and all. It was fun. Another year, another time to celebrate the Lord's resurrection xD
anyways, MU lost yesterday.. that inefficient linesman, drogba was a mile offside and he couldn't lift his hand from 10 meters away.. such nonsense! O'well, MU are still gonna win the EPL so at least losing this game will make the title race a lil' but more interesting :)
JPA interviews starts tomorrow.. Sean's going, 1st batch.. kesihan :(
I hope I'll be ready by tuesday, need to do some in-depth research tomorrow. Hopefully I get some useful info to help me then... don't wanna be stoning in the room now huh? hahaxP
I guess i'll see y'all soon.. ciaoz ppl

SONG!

hiya... so amidst all the assignments and busy schedule, I had a moment of thought. A sentimental one I might add. So, you know what that means... haha, the birth of a new song. Gosh, if only I had some sexy voice and superb music sense I'd be a great artist.. xPxP
cheh, *not to say lyrics very nice also* hehehe
So anyways, I thought I'ma post this one up. Who knows, it might be a famous song one day and you guys might be the first ones to read 'em lyrics !! xD

I'll give it a title another day...
Here goes !

[Verse1]
Three months have come and gone,
Still I wonder what went wrong,
As I sit here all alone,
Pouring my heart into this song,
The nights we shared,
The laughs we had,
Just another boy and girl,
I guess she was my world,

[Chorus]
Baby girl,
Ever since you walked out the door,
This pain inside me,
it never stops,
my mind goes crazy,
'Cause each and everyday,
I think of you,
The girl that got away.

[Verse 2]
I watched her go,
Didn't say a word,
Now i know,
How it feels,
To know someone,
Hold her so close,
To stare in her eyes,
And know its love.

[Chorus]x2

[Outro]
And so I promised myself,
This tears won't hold me,
Gonna pick myself up,
Gonna be who I wanna be.

LoL... don't laugh, yeah I guess it's kinda corny but what'd you expect? Now I'll try to fit in some music and we'll see how it goes. I guess that's enough entertainment for you now.
By the way, MU lost this morning x(
I woke up so early to watch them lose. How ridiculous is that? -sigh- the return leg is at Old Trafford so I guess not all is lost yet. MU still to win the UEFA Champions League 09/10 !!!
I'll see y'all again soon.

P.S. I got the interview call-up. It'll be this coming tuesday in Putrajaya. Wish me luck and pray for me hehe xP

Step up a notch..

Medical?

hiya guys... so I'm back from my medical tour. Okay, first things first.... it was narrowed down to three days instead of five. It meant that the programs were squeezed to fit a so-called "busy schedule" of theirs. I don't know who's fault it is.. JPA peeps or the hospital themselves. I was even more aggravated when i found out my friends attending other hospital tours had their original five day program. Gahhh... oh well, it's over now and there's no point frust-ing now. I'll just have to wait if I get called up for the interview on Monday.

So, let me narrate on how things started and ended.

Day1
Sean and I arrived at the hopsital around 8.40am. He was expecting about 50-100 people there. How wrong a statement that was. There were about 200-240 students. It was quite jam pack full. We waited abit until we were ushered into a board room.
So anyways, we were then separated into 6 groups.. in which sean and I were then apart. Btw, I also met some old school mates there too. xD
My group's first program was orthopedics. Nothing much to see.. though I did see two tumors and a doctor placing a cast on a patient.
Then we were off to General Surgery Department which again was a disappointment 'cuz we didn't get to see anything again. A doctor gave a talk for the whole 2 hours... ZZZzz We merely saw pictures... -sigh- was a bit demoralized after the first day. More so the fact that we had to walk about so much. Oh btw, a leader was picked at the beginning for each group. And according to the research I made... the leader gets extra privileges to watch surgeries and stuff.. something the members aren't allowed to do... a whole load of crap that turned out to be. x(
Got home with Sean to my house... what a tiring day. Anyways, was looking forward to a better one tomorrow.. forensics was the first one up xDxD

Day2
It was a struggle to get up. So tired... Oh and we managed to go through all the jam and reach the place sharp at 8.30... phew just in time. Managed to make new friends. My group were then brought to the forensics department... some doctor gave a brief insight of what its all about and then we were off to the morgue(i think thats what you call it). Guess what? A body came in... apparently it was a murder case that happened that very same day at 3am. It was a police investigation and the doctors were told to do an autopsy. We were all excited. They stripped him.. did a facial check ( there were bruises the size of a clinched fist ). then they started shaving his head. Some of us got really excited while others couldn't bear to watch. Just as they were about to cut his head... some guy shoo-ed us out!!! ARGHHH!!! i was like totally annoyed and at the same time frustrated that we missed the whole fun part. The following group had the privilege to watch it all. AHHH!!! apparently, they took the brain out.. cut open the body and took some organs out... some irrelevant ones were then tossed back into the body which was later stitched up. so much for the excitement that morning...
Next up, Gynie.. any guys reading this.... you can start calming your hormones down. You don't get to see any delivering whatsoever or anything related to that. I did manage to see some babies though. Very cute.. fresh from the oven (if you know what i mean, hahaha). Gosh! they were adorable. I saw a nurse sterilizing a baby, 'cus apparently it got strangled by its own umbilical cord... turning his whole face blue. ZZzz poor thing. that was followed up by A Q&A session...
Lastly... (Pesakit Luar)Out patients.... these cases were like... how to say, immediate..get done and get lost kinda thing you know? I mean the patient's sickness were minor and could be dealt with instantly.. like those normal clinics you go to. (i think). There wasn't much to see there either. Oh by the way, Sean told me something funny that happened the previous day. During his pesakit luar tour, a female patient along with her son came into doctor's room. He and his friend were in the room chit-chatting and learning from the doctor for quite a while now. So the lady asked the doctor...
Lady:Doctor, I ada problem la
Doctor: yeah, what is it?
Lady: Saya punya anak ah... itu bawah sudah tertutup la
Doctor looks confused.. so was Sean and his friend(Vicky)
Doctor: I tak faham.. what is it?
Lady: itu bawah la.. sudah tak ada....
By now Sean and Vicky were totally confused.. as they looked at each other. They then took the safe step by walking outta the room the moment the lil' boy was placed on the bed and the lady took of his pants (the rest I can leave it to your imagination)
That was about it for Day 2. Oh yeah, how must I forget... the Lunch Fiesta. hahaha, my group of friends and I walked out of the HKL compound to have lunch. It was some random coffee house. the food was... very ordinary.. better than the crappy place Sean led me and Vicky to the previous day, not to mention how far we walked under the blazing sun.
So anyways, we did some crazy stunts in there which I think all of us are gonna remember for a long long time. The fun continued when we were ready to head back but it was raining cats and dogs. It took us bout 15-20 minutes to get a cab. That too I will never forget 'cuz we squeezed 6 big sized people in the back when the smallest dude was sitting in front. ZZzz... It was torture for the next 10 mins in there. To top if all of, the taxi driver conned us of rm6. ZZzzz that old dude xP

Day3
The last day. Emergency room... I was hoping for at least something today, it was after all the last programme scheduled (on-call was taken off the list). Sean and I were earlier that day. Reached there, got separated into groups again and off to our respective departments... -sigh- another disappointment as there was again nothing interesting. It was merely a short tour and yet another speech by one of the staff.
After all that, everyone gathered back in the auditorium(same one as the first day) and we had a Q&A session. That's about it I guess...
All in all, everything was okay I guess. I made many new friends.
I guess this tour did achieve it's objective.. making me rethink about medical again. It's a journey.. a very long one. One medical officer said, "Being a doctor is not a career.. it's a life". how true that is.
Oh btw, the 2nd and 3rd day.. Sean and I took the monorail and KTM home. Gosh.. I don't think I'll ever take the KTM back again (if i can help it). It is probably the worst form of transportation you can have during its peak hour... especially when you're dead tired and you're sandwiched in the KTM between smokey dude and a very sweaty smelly guy.. where there's absolutely no space for you to move.. (it was that FULL!!)
So anyone reading this.. thinking bout medical, I guess you should probably attend one of this tours. It could help you rethink your decision, it certainly did me.
So yeah, that's how my three days pended out. I'll post some pics later on if i have the time. I guess I'll see y'all again soon
ciaoz for now

Here we go!

hey.. i'm back from the MCPP weekend. By the way, it's mission candidate's preparation programme. Anyways, i had a blast.. made new friends, learned so many new practical stuff like baptizing, prayer and walking, holy communion. Hmmm... one day I'm gonna conduct them in some mission, not bad huh? xP
overall, I thought it was great. Lessons were good, loads of things i didn't know before (though I must say I dozed off a few times) *it was a very tiring day*. The bus ride was quite awesome too.. had loads of laughing and chit-chatting.. on the way there, we watched some Jack Neo movie.. a singaporean version of "Hot Chick", starring Gurmit Singh.. haha yeah the Phua Chu Kang guy. The girl was pretty though :)
On the way back, we watched IP MAN... I thought it was some ridiculous comedy movie. It was actually quite nice, the kung fu and all.
Anyway, I actually got baptized (practice) and baptized someone (also practice) and it was quite cool. Though when we were walking into the sea to do it, the sand was so moist.. it literally felt like dog poo... urghhh
Activities were cool and entertaining. i didn't know Pastor Ling was quite cool. Haha, and he's already 58 years old (sorry pastor was posting this up). Anything else you can look at the pictures I'll post up next time (don't have that much sorry)
It's good to be back home and to enjoy one's toilet again :):)
So, MU v Liverpool is gonna start in another 15 minutes. Gotta watch... GO MU!! 3-0 or 4-0? I think the latter looks more likely xP
Gotta pack stuff and head on to Sean's to stay the night before we kick off the medical camp tomorrow. I'll brief y'all more on the tour next time. I'll try to get as many pics as possible. If I can get any from the forensics labs... hahaha I'll try my best!
ciaoz people

Busy Schedule

hi there. So, I've signed up for this YMCPP programme this weekend. 2 days one night in Port Dickson. By the way, it stands for Youth Mission Camp Preparation Programme. It kinda teaches you about mission and stuff. I think its pretty cool. I'm leaving later to stay overnight at my Cg Leader's house (Mike) and we leave tomorrow at church, say 7.30am? haha hoping its gonna be awesome.
By the way, you guys know I'm doing Foundation in Arts now in Sunway College? yeah in business that is. Well, I've always had a passion for medicine and guess what? I applied for the JPA scholarship in medicine and I just found out today that I got in. haha, praise the Lord.. and of course my mum who took all the trouble to get it done for me. So, first up is the 5 days exposure of what medical life is all about. We're doing a tour of Hospital Kuala Lumpur. The scheduled programmes look mighty juicy.
1st day - Emergency
2nd day - Specialist
3rd day - Orthopedics
4th day - Forensics
5th day - On Call
phew, just looking at it has already got me excited... especially day four, I mean.. DEAD BODIES!! cool eh? ahhaha, it feels like Grey's Anatomy, only it's real life. Maybe i should create my own show, Darren's Anatomy! haha, not bad huh? xP
anyway, I've got in together with my cousin(sean) so at least I know someone there. I hope to make friends aplenty there. I'm sure we'll have a great time. I'll brief y'all more on that once I'm done. So, after this there's the interview... if I pass that, then I get the scholarship (I think) and my whole life would change towards the medical field from now on. Awesome!! Imagine... **Dr. Khoo** haha, has a ring to it x)
Though I must say I did have a great time in FIA, nice activities, great teachers, superb friends. Not all is lost :)
anyway, I've gotta get going now... don't wanna be late for meeting. I will see y'all next week xP

Rejuvenated

Tears, Laughs and Joy !

So people, yeah I received my SPM results today. Remember how I said I would be satisfied with 8A's and anything above that would be a bonus. Guess what I got??
hehe... I got 10A's. I feel really blessed and by God's grace I achieved this results. Though I must say, I did feel a lil' aggravated that I didn't score the full 12A's. But I promised myself not to have that feeling and so I will erase it from my mind. Okay, let me list to you my results..
Bahasa Melayu --- A-
Bahasa Inggeris --- A+
Sejarah --- A+
Pendidikan Moral --- A-
Mathematics --- A+
Add Math --- A+
Accounts --- A+
Chemistry --- A-
Physics --- A
Biology --- A-
EST --- B+
Bible Knowledge --- B+

Yeah, that's how my results pended out. The 2 B+ shows that a lil' bit more effort and I actually could've gotten straight A's. I guess that is and will always remain as a "what if". I'm really glad though for my friends who all scored superbly. Edwin got straight and solid 10A's, Kai Xiang got 11A's outta 13. Sarah and Danial got a solid straight 11A's and 12A's respectively. When I say solid meaning a mixture of A+, A and A- ( more A+ and A than A- ). Sean got 10A's outta 11 too. So overall, all my friends did very well. ( not to mention my other classmates, Well Done! )

The day started off when I entered the school and did some catching up with friends. At that time, it still didn't really kick in yet. It was when I was with my two friends ( laviniya and priya ) visiting ex-teachers that someone call priya and said the results were OUT!! Then I really got nervous. As we walked into the hall, I could hear the screaming.. the crying.. the laughters... it was all there. I saw people tearing, jumping with joy, screaming happily and excitedly. Then I walked up to my class line, and there was Pn. Suganthi (Pn. Ong wasn't present that day x( ) sitting.. smiling as I walked towards her. I bent over to see Edwin and KX's scores and were happy for them. I took mine as she shook my hand before passing the slip to me. I took a huge breath as I looked at it. It was at that moment that time stopped for a minute. When I realized what I got, a part of me wanted to leap with joy but another was abit disappointed, staring at the 2B+. Oh well, I wasn't gonna let that spoil my day and so I went to celebrate with my other friends. Good times, good memories...

We went to Sunway Pyramid soon after where I met sooooo many ex-schoolmates, both primary and secondary school. It was great to see them again. My friends and I watched 2 movies back-to-back. It was Solomon Kane ( I strongly suggest you don't watch this movie, it's quite lousy ) followed by Green Zone ( this was quite nice ). Later on, I went to have a lil' bite with a couple of friends. One of whom I had a crush on back when I was in STD 1-6. Yeah 6 years... ( yes males can have hormones at the age of seven.. LoL ). Haha, she got straight A's too.. solid I might add. hehe 11 years down the road and she still looks amazing. Made me reminisce about the past... ZZZzzz okay I will not get into that.

Anyways, I got back home to a warm welcome. Had multiple calls from friends and families bout the results and they were all happy for me. You see, if they're happy for me then I should be happy for me, haha!!
Someone said... "God did His part when Darren did his part". Phew, that sentence really struck me. I guess it really is true. And also, another reason why I shouldn't be down bout my 2B+ is that I should be happy for the A-'s I got cuz it all could've easily been B+ instead. haha, yeah look at the positives. x)x)
Okay, I will not complain from now on and move forward. I guess you can say today was a pretty eventful day. I will not forget it... To think it was only a few months ago that I was worried bout the SPM exams... and here I am with my results.. hehe
I will stop here for now... will continue more the next time. ciaoz peoples

100th post!

hi fellas.. heh I just realised that this would be my 100th post. What a coincidence... a day before the SPM results and I'm hitting my century post (if that's a word). So yeah, the butterflies are kicking in. Getting more nervous by the minute.. I mean it is SPM results after all. My high school life studies all smacked into one sheet of paper. And yet, somehow I don't get how people can say "Huh? What SPM results?"
I mean, being relax and all is one thing but trying too hard to act cool seems rather boastful. Oh'well, I guess maybe some people are just naturally smarter and better at handling situations like this than I am.
Remember people... 12 A's is what I'm aiming for ! 8A's is what I'm hoping for! Anything more than the 8 would be a bonus. Anything less would bring some disappointment.
So anyway, I have to go now. I'm finishing up on an english assignment. Need to do a post on how to conserve energy. haha I used my sis' artistic skills to help me out with it. In return, i taught her Chemistry :)
You should use your resources to its fullest :)
oh and this is the poster

SPM in 4 days!

Hey People! Just a kind reminder! Spm results are out on the 11th March 2010. And to think, I was so nervous about it barely 4 months ago. The anxiety I felt two weeks leading up to the first day of SPM. Everyone studying Sejarah non-stop.. haha
And here I am 4 months on, about to receive my results. Phew, like I said before.. I'd be satisfied with 8 outta 12 A's... anything above that would be awesome... We'll just see how it goes huh? xP getting more and more excited as the days go by!
Anyways, it's getting late. I might post one or two more posts before the big day. Don't worry I'll post my results immediately when I get the chance to. Let's hope its good so I won't be so down when writing here xD
till then people..
