Moving on

Posted in: ~Friday Posts | 2008 posts | Cringy Teenage Years | Friends | Life | Personal Thoughts

I'd had chats over the phone for these few months with a close friend of mine (We'll call her Mel). We did something, well, this thing I would call, terrible, and we had a hard time forgiving ourselves. Especially last month, I guess.
"Why did we let it happened?"
"How are you doing now?"
"Still..."
Then we'll talk for hours about our misery and thoughts.

The worst time has passed and I don't find it surprising that we are still alive. Do anyone notice how we often dread ourselves with unnecessary fears before something bad happened?... hoping that the world will split and swallow you up or you suddenly drop dead (literally) on that inauspicious moment... And then when it really happen, nothing really happened. You are still breathing. It didn't kill you. Of course, unless you have a bad heart.

Lesson of the day: Whatever happened, good or bad, we will still have to move on. So stop dwelling in the past.

Anyway. Mel and I might go on different roads... She's taking a step further while I... I'm stepping on an extra road before hers. I wish all the best for her.

I'm tired of worrying about what others say about me. They are just throwing words and advice and the person who picks them all, thinking it's important, is just making himself a fool. I'm not talking about someone. It's just something I had in my head for a long time.

Dakara, I won't care about what people [will] say about my extra road. This is a fight with myself and I'm determined to win over myself.

I detest myself.

Self-talk #1

Posted in: ~Friday Posts | 2008 posts | Cringy Teenage Years | Life | Self-talk

I don't know where I got this, but it meant a lot to me.
"Yesterday is history,
Tomorrow is a mystery,
And today is a gift,
That's why it's called the present."

Another interesting BIO practical...

Ah...finally have time to blog.

I think most school have done this. Yesterday, it's "Rat Dissection" (Circulatory) for BIO practical... For 14 of us-- we had 11 white mice dissected. yeah, we didn't use rats. We obtained the mice from the Jabatan Haiwan (I think that's what teacher said).. it's free (& SMALL!).. so I don't think complaining will be right cos we got it without much efforts.. (Actually.. I have one rat at home, caught from outside. When I hear mice would be supplied, it's already too late. & now I don't know what to do with the rat [my rat is bigger than those white mice..].. )

I've done frog dissection before, so I know (from experience) that my hands will shiver when cutting open the skin.. But I'm glad it happened only in the beginning. After that it just came out naturally (not the skin).. I was able to do it calmly & meticulously.. I imagined that I was a surgeon operating on my patient. I pinned its skin neatly (even got praised by teacher because I've done a good dissection... hahaha).. Compared to the frog, the mouse's skin was (in my opinion) more easy to cut & separate it from the inside..


Today I presented about Ammonia during CHEM classes.. wah...yokatta desu.. finally I DID IT! I've made it perfectly again this time!

My CHEM teacher made it clear today on why she wants each of us to make presentation on what we are learning. I totally agree with her: It's to prepare us for university life, cos there'll be plenty of "presentations" there.

For Maths... I found the topic differentiation interesting. It's really fun to do all those calculations. I feared this topic before in f4 & f5. What a waste. I belittled my own skills & talents just because I was afraid. That's what you get when you always think negatively. Hmmm.. Just believe in yourself ma, dui bu dui?


A month ago, I wondered what other students (f6 science & art streams in my school) think of me. Not that I care about what people say of me but I was just curious. From my own assumptions, I think they see me as a conceited, somewhat anti-social person. It bothered me a bit. Talking warmingly & making friends with new people are not easy for me. Only those who care to go pass the wall I built will see the better side of me.

But then, I was struck by a thought: So what? I can't satisfy everyone's taste. If they can't accept me (ie. we have opposite beliefs/characteristics/principles) then let it be. Maybe we are not meant to be friends anyway (I might not like her/him too).

I think what's important is to just express myself honestly without pretending as someone I'm not. I'm willing to help anyone who needs my help as long as I am able to do it.

Late updates.....

I didn't forget that I have a blog..^_^

Aish... did I have a good start at school on 3 January? I don't think so. It's not bad but really.. it's nothing special. Initially, I was so excited of our new timetable. Before school ended last year, we got a letter from school telling us that starting 3 Jan 2007, the science stream students would return home late (3-4 pm).. extra classes.. which I think is good.. But.. it looks like the school haven't got the permission from the ministry of education to do that.. (that's funny)..

Our Chemistry teacher turned out to be a FEMALE teacher. *sigh*
The funny thing is, she's a quite cute teacher - Half of her is like my form 5 CHEM teacher (have that fragile, vulnerable look) BUT also half of my form 4 CHEM teacher's STRICTNESS (which is good).. She's somewhat good too, I can easily understand what she's teaching. When it comes to CHEM exercises, she gave us worksheets for every topic & make it compulsory for us to own the LONGMAN's 1999-2004 past years collection (original or photocopied).. We frequently have quizzes to see how far have we "digest" what we are taught.. She's OUR class teacher too.

Mr. R is gone. He was a very fun Maths teacher *I'm going to miss his jokes* but maybe as this is our last & important year, he (or the pengetua) doesn't want to screw up our chances (I think)-- he has to go. And another FEMALE teacher replaced him. I'll call her Miss Shrny. Compared to Mr. R, she teaches with better speed... We still have many chapters to cover on.. She somewhat reminds me of my form 4/5 Matematik Tambahan (Add Maths) teacher but without my former teacher's smile & sunniness.

Our MUET classes also have changes. Our former MUET teacher was 'sent' to the evening school session & we now have two brand new faces for MUET. Mr. Jai (who graduated in UK) teaches us Paper 1-3 & Miss Flo teaches us Paper 4. (I shortened their names)..

The only teachers that remain unchanged are BIO teacher & PA teachers. I love my BIO teacher, I'm so glad he still stays.

Friday Birthday!

Yeshh! My first post on the first day of September 2006!
firstly...
I would like thank my friends & cousins for remembering my birthday & wishing me "Happy Birthday"... (SMSes & Friendster Testimonials).. & also Casandra (whom I had not been in touch for more than 3 years) who called me just a few minutes ago to say "Happy Birthday"..

& also others that wished me after I posted this..

hontou ni.. arigatou gozaimashita..


I've always love FridayS and today is a even more special day for me. It's MY 18th BIRTHDAY!

My birthday present? This fx-991ES Casio Scientific Calculator! (Closeup)
Bought it at Popular, Centre Point yesterday for RM 63.90...

Okay. I know. I'm weird... Why do I want a calculator for my birthday anyway? (I've got plenty of them ^_^).. haha..but I have my reasons. ~ahaha~ I like its "natural textbook display" feature. It's so natural.. (& cool!)

About school...
I think I should stop talking about my classmates cos if they found out about this blog, I'm doomed.

I was so glad to know that I still have my touch in art. (^^)
Our class monitor wanted us to prepare some article/decoration/etc before the 1-week holiday to merdeka-ise our classroom. I find it bothersome at first cos I'm still lack of confidence in art after the black years of 2004/05. But last Friday I managed to gather enough courage to persuade myself to start drawing. I drew portraits of the previous 4 prime ministers of Malaysia. Oh well, I know it's not that perfect but I did it. I'm starting to feel confident once again to paint & draw once more...

haha.. It surprises me at times that I [could] have a good balance of use of my right side & the left side of the brain. (lol.. yah yah, I know what you're thinking... oh come on.. it's my birthday today - please give me space to brag...)




You Are 45% Left Brained, 55% Right Brained



The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning.

Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others.

If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic.

Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet.



The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility.

Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way.

If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art.

Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports.

Are You Right or Left Brained?


Yes. That's it. I'm 55% artist & 45% mathematician.

To be honest, I'm not good at memorising things (except for things I like).. I've always heard that you can excel Maths easily as long as you memorise the formulas. But is it really true? Isn't it important to understand too? I can only recall the formulas when I encounter maths problems.. is it bad?

Then, being no good in memorising, am I making a brilliant choice by taking BIO? I never pass my tests/exams when I was in F4(only once) & F5.. & I got C5 for SPM.. *hmmm*

Your past results/successes/failures/whatever doesn't really reflect what you get & be in the future. This thought suddenly occurs me after last Wednesday. That day, I was able to solve a Maths question from the Longman book which the whole class (including teacher) can't find the answer. Then, a friend approached me & asked how did I do it & go on asking about my Add Maths (SPM) results.. She's confused about why it's hard for her although she got A for her Add Maths (SPM/ I got B)... My answer was, "It depends on the person." Different people have different ways of thinking, isn't it? I believe anyone can solve Maths Problems but before that, they have to think Math-ish first...

So maybe I'll still have a chance for my BIO lah, kan?

fin.

Well... *where do I begin..*

There's a test next week...

Ahh... Last Monday, I did a presentation on "Jenis & Sistem Kerajaan" - ALONE! In front of everyone! Haha.. At first I was SO nervous. I don't care what I said, I would just read from the text book..or whatever (no memorising) as long as it finishes quickly.

Suprisingly, the nervous-ness disappeared as I stood in front of them. I speak about what was on my presentation slide (I made it myself!)... There was technical problems in the beginning, but when the teacher saw my presentation (on the laptop), he complimented me! He said that's the best presentation slide he ever seen...*blushes* [he's referring to the (powerpoint) presentation slide & not my way of speaking]

The opposite thing happened that day..really.

& not to forget: I was given an A+ for that. *(^O^)*

It felt really good to have your work being appreciated.

It's a good thing that I'm "well-trained" about this "using computer for presentation", thanks to SM〇〇, of course. Since in Form 4, we were loaded with projects that we need to present in front of everybody. I would *shamelessly* say that my group's was always the best among all..(LOL...my very biased opinion *no offence to the other groups*).. yea, Mel & me, we always did that "powerpoint" part. ahh... those days... hmm.. but teachers didn't praise us a lot...

No BIO classes this week...

I just realised that most school have 2 teachers for Maths T while we only have the ONE & ONLY Mr. R.
We have 8 periods for Maths T per week. 4 periods for Paper 1 & another 4 for Paper 2 (just started Topic 1 today... very late, huh?)

Oh, well.........
I'm more than grateful already to have a teacher to teach us.

You can't be too dependent to your teachers anymore in Form 6. Teachers are merely facilitators. 95% is all about yourself. Your determination, discipline, diligence, intelligence... The 5% is teachers, friends, family...

This pretty much explains most of my character. *somewhat accurate* (Got this from a friend via e-mail, so I don't where/what's the real source.)

VIRGO WOMAN
She will be similar to Leo woman in appearance. A slim woman who walks with confident and proud. She has an egg shape facial structure, high and round forehead. She likes to look straight as if she is searching. She is not a pretentious type and will always say what she thinks.

You will see Virgo woman walks fast. She will try her best to be perfect, to look perfect and to feel perfect even though there is no such perfection. She is very delicate of what and how she dress. She is bright and easily despair with obstacles. She likes smart guy who will be compatible with her, so if you are a rich dumb guy, you can forget about her right now.

She is not a very possessive or jealous person for she expect respect from her love one. She does not like a part time lover, or a temporary mate. If she finds her dream man, she will not go away. If she does not like you, she will always keep a certain distant. Act proper and appropriate is her discipline.

She does not like and can not stand bad languages, cursing words or phrase. She likes a gentleman who open the doors for her. She wants to feel protected and when a man taking care of her, she will feel like a complete woman.

She memorizes everything about other people and about herself very well. She can really keep secret, you can trust her on this. She likes a refreshing and a mild scent. She is very delicate in maintaining her beauty, so you could see she is seriously picking soap which match and most suit her skin. Do not comments her on this very picky habits, it is her happiness in working full times as a self beautifier.

She is not an innocent angle for sometimes she can be as tough as steel. Even she easily despair, she is not the type to cry over it. She is a shy type, so making speech in front of the room can make her nervous even she walks and talks confidently.

She only search for true love , not just any love. Her love is an ideal one. She likes to think no one is neater and as effective as her, which can irritate you sometimes for there is no such thing. She likes sweet talk, but she can slip and say something unpredictable and unbearable to you too. When she stops getting mad, she will totally forget what she just said and be an
angle again . If you have a date with her , you'd better be there on time.

Flowers and sweet word can calm her down. If you want to say sorry, make it brief and straight forward. Do not drag your apologetic words into a long making it up events, it could lead you to another world war. She likes her man to dress nice and clean. She is good in details especially with money. Do not make she thinks that she is a clown or funny.

In the beginning of knowing her, please try not to glance at other pretty woman so much. Early period of dating her, try not to hold her so much in public, it would not be a proper thing to do. She loves books, stage play and music and likes to criticize about them too.

Criticism woman is her icon including big and small things in life starting from your hair, your dress, and the way you talk. If you are in love with her, be as almost perfect as your can.

Trust no one. Period.



"Never trust people before you trust them." Confused?

That's what I think. Just as much as I want to trust that everyone in this world can be trusted, I can't trust them until soooommmmee..... *suitable*...... time....... Maybe this is a way I protect myself from any pain & betrayal in relationships.. 'friendship' to be precise.

When you trust too much, you get hurt seriously too. Hate it. Hate it.


# Something "stupid" happened twice to me this week. Have you ever experience a day where you feel stupid?

I have. Occasionally.

During these days, I will have "mental-blocks".. I can't do essays.. I can't do much serious thinking... arggh..

But the good thing is... *to keep it balanced*.. there's an "Intelligent Day" too... that's the greatest day - feeling intelligent.

# Today IN SCHOOL... This is the first time I met a person who brags the most in my life. Well, this doesn't occur me till I get home. I was doing some Maths problems & she approached my desk. Then bla bla bla bla & bla. After she finish bragging (Pengajian Am teacher came in), I felt so inferior-ish for no reason. Why? Why? Then only I realise she was bragging about herself! ne.. ne... What is she trying to do? Being friendly? Or trying to tell me she's better than me? A potential rival?

No. I'm not jealous!

Ah!!!! Me & my self-centred & negative mind!

# Maths class always equals to FUN. I just love the teacher, he's SO hilarious! I found out that he really was a teacher in matriculation college... for 8 years!

MUET's are somewhat boring... It's like learning english from scratch once again.. (but what he teaches is suitable for my other classmates.. )

CHEMISTRY--- *starts to worry* The teacher seldomly come in to teach... Yet CHEM has the most "thick" syllabus to finish... aiya... taihen desu (It's terrible)...

Proud to be a F6 student

Posted in: ~Friday Posts | 2006 posts | Cringy Teenage Years | Old Blog | School: Form 6

Originally posted on Friday, June 23, 2006 in my old blog

After a few weeks in my new school (for F6)... I'm awaken by the fact that Matriculation is JUST a place where you can go after SPM. What I mean is.. it's not like, well, the best, prestigious (or whatever big word you describe it) place you should go to pursue your studies. It just coincidentally happened that many best SPM scorers (9:1=bumi:non-bumi) are "gathered" there, that must be why most parents think that's the best, good, popular place they can send their children to (and brag & show off about it later...*duh*).. & F6 became the place for "rejectS" & most non-bumiS, giving it a somewhat ugly reputation.

Parents should do their homework.

Matrics = 1 year only? No. Wrong. They have 2 years ones too.

I grow up with the idea (influence from my surroundings) that Matrics are better than F6 (which is not really true). Since I'm in form 1, I already set a target that I'll go to Matrics after completing F5. People said F6 is 2 years whereas Matrics is only 1 year. That's why at that time I prefer Matrics to F6. Moreover I was thinking of getting out of school quickly (because since the first day I'm in SM〇〇, I already could feel the tense, stress & tight competition in my class. I could't stand it, & wished that time will run faster so that I can stop suffering). Even when I was in F5, the thought of going to F6 never occurs me.

Then, last year, came a big turn over.

While waiting for SPM results to come out:
Because I didn't study well enough (due to some problems) last year (for SPM), I was afraid that my bad SPM results will affect my admission to matrics (at that time-lah) or any other places (excluding f6) to pursue my ambition (doctor or any other profession in the medical field). So I surfed the internet, looking for info on "where can I go after SPM" (things like that...).. & discovered that STPM is the most suitable way for me. It is also recognised by most universities in the world (UNLIKE MATRICS). Referring to this, (I copied it here):
Local public universities
STPM (Form 6), local matriculation, recognised diplomas from government polytechnics and public universities and university colleges.

Overseas universities
UK, Australia and New Zealand: A Levels, STPM , Australian and Canadian pre-u and matriculation, selected foundation and diploma programmes
US: American Degree Program

Local private universities/colleges
STPM , local matriculation, Australian and Canadian pre-u and matriculation, relevant foundation and diploma programmes

Foreign university branch campuses
STPM , local matriculation, Australian and Canadian pre-u and matriculation, selected foundation and diploma programmes.


It would be easier to go to overseas universities (of course with good results) with STPM certificiate. Of course. You can go to local universities too. (Foreign university branch campuses -- limited options ne?)

& puh-lease...FYI, Australian and Canadian pre-u and matriculation is NOT equal to local matriculation. I remember going to Hyatt Hotel few months ago (for some *what do you call it? short seminar to intoduce their uni?* from Monash University).. There's this friend of my mum's daughter who "graduated" from matrics, 'showing off', saying that I shouldn't go to f6, "It's hard. It's better in matrics. They use this semester system...bla bla bla".. & while she's talking all that craps I can see that "stupid & naive" label on her head. Her father included.. Anyway. The ppl from Monash Uni were stating the qualifications to enter the uni.. & WALA~! In his presentation slide -- No mention of matriculation (only South Australian matriculation). Local matriculation that is. STPM is there but no local matrics. So those ppl with the "S & N" labels on their heads asked.. well, of cos I knew that local matrics is *somewhat recognised* cos that uni is in Malaysia, (can't you tell?) so it not's really a problem for local matics graduates to enter there... but the pleasure of looking at that "undeclared embarrassment" was REALLY GREAT. They think local matrics is SO that great, that they expect that everyone in this world should know about it.

Anyway, back to my school stories... Some teachers said we are lucky to be in form 6.
(I know it sounds like they were just trying to cheer up those that didn't get any offers to uni & matrics)
My Maths T(Pure Mathematics) teacher, Mr. R (he said he was a teacher in matrics b4.. but I'm not really sure) said the maths for STPM are 10x harder than matric's maths. If you get A for matric's maths, it's a D in STPM's Maths T. Also he said that although in matriks you can get [C?]GPA 4.0 easier, they will FACE difficulties later when they enter university.

"So be proud that you are in Form 6."



p/s: Of course, I may sound biased cos I want to believe what I believe. But this really happens. & I'm glad I chose this path.

Ahhh...finally...

# I hate to admit this, but I'm TRULY a computer addict. I just realised it. ~_^ hmm...

Living almost one week without the computer (ah~ craving for Kurosagi all the time....) made me so irritable & uneasy.

Anyway, I don't know what happened to the computer...but after an improper shutdown, the computer is stuck in 16 bit, 640x480 resolution, no sound & what's worst is: NO MOUSE POINTER. No mouse pointer. I repeat, no mouse pointer. *I CAN'T USE THE MOUSE!*

Good thing I know how to navigate using keyboard... Those "TAB", "SPACE BAR", "ALT", "CRTL", "ENTER" etc keys are very USEFUL! I managed to fix the resolution problem (Audio- no.), sent it to the technician, he FIXED the sounds...but STILL no mouse pointer! Once again, I googled for solutions. I searched using this keywords Download Mouse Driver, vmouse & found this (see the post by jack). Here's a copy of what he wrote:
I worked on a computer that had this simular problem. (windows 98) My mouse pointer would show in safe mode, with both a serial and a ps/2 style mouse.But when it came to normal mode, good bye mouse. I thought definitly driver conflict. Device manager quoted vmouse.vxd, code 8.But a little hard work and I discovered that the system.ini file could cause this problem. It has a number of boot settings within the file. But look for *displayfallback in the [boot] section, make sure it is set to 0 not 1. It should look like this *displayfallback=0. If there is any other displayfallback entries delete them. Make sure there is no other [boot] directories, other than the [boot.description] section, do not delete this entry. (also as a note make sure there is no text or code before the [boot] section, this could cause problems also.

What I did: I open system.ini using the RUN command in the START (just type system.ini), it appeared in notepad, & I checked... the value was correct (0) but then I realised there's some funny characters b4 the [boot] section. So I deleted it & saved the file, reboot the computer & TADA! The mouse pointer CAME BACK! Haha...That's a really simple solution!!



# Oh. Good. I almost forgot. After 9/10 years wanting & hoping (that) my parents would subscribe to ASTRO... They finally DID last Friday. (Thanks to AF4)
FINALLY.

WRONG TIMING.

This always happens to me.
Good things comes/happens when you don't want it anymore OR hope for it OR forgot about it. Really unfair. My siblings "enjoy life" more early than me. They own handphones at the age of 11. They can watch ASTRO at the age of 12. They can use the computer & internet at the age of 8. They got what they want at these ageS. I didn't get all this when I'm their age. Unfair.

I went through all the hardtimes, & they can just easily "enjoy their life" the rest of their life. Yeah...right..

Oh well. What's done is done.

Anyway, while the computer was "sick", I watched "Malcolm in the Middle" & "Passport to Japan almost everyday... And Monk. And Avatar (Love this!). NTV7. 8TV. But I still miss the computer.

# So it happened that I can't go the school of my choice for Form 6. Although I COULD go to matrics in Labuan (checked it already)... I'm staying here in Kota Kinabalu to pursue my studies in f6 in another school near my home...

So what if I can't get into All Saints... [the principle didn't "like" my science subjects grades (5-5-6 C) ~not her exact words~ "You can't succeed in F6 (..in our school..). You can't. You should just go to matrics. That will suit you better."; IN SHORT~ She's saying that I'm TOO STUPID for her school.]

A~ah~
People who call or treat me like a stupid person IS a STUPID PERSON.

So what if my new school is unpopular... So what & so what.

What I want & need now is a platform where I can be a f6 student & SIT for STPM exam next year.



# I read the first chapter of my BIO STPM reference book. Great. The information goes in smoothly into my head. Until I started thinking "What's this in Malay again?"

The thing is: Even if you had memorise everything while in f4/f5 (memorized 90% understood 10%) doesn't mean you can cope with Science & Maths (in English!) in f6 OR Matrics. Don't be TOO over-confident, my friends.

Okay. Maybe it REALLY depends on the person. Like what I saw in "Dragon Sakura/Zakura", those that have nothing in their head (bakaS), with the help from good (I mean it.), really GOOD teacher & teaching skills, these "empty heads" could be more successful than those A Cram-schooled students.

Some ppl will end up spending much time on "harmonizing" malay terms/facts with the english terms/facts they've just learnt.

Some ppl will live on by "eating their books."

And some ppl, after reading this post, don't agree with me, thus STUDY HARD to prove I'm wrong. I know who you are. (wow. I become your motivation to study?)

OK. Fine. Whatever.

I don't care.

I have to do things I don't like to be successful.
I'll do anything to win.
Even if I have to swindle
[I haven't watch Eps 7! & I don't mean this by cheating in exam!]

So what if I'm machiavellian-ish? I don't care.

My head is half-empty with corrupted data here and there.

Yesterday, my sister went to the hospital to see the dentist after having toothache for nearly a week.... I went with her because my mum wanted me to accompany her... oh man,I waited so long... We went there in the morning (8-9 a.m) and went home at 12 p.m... It was a good thing that I brought along my Physics reference book....(hoho...& I brought along my calculator & stationery too).. at least I didn't waste my time...

The hospital was totally crowded!

Why can't they do sth to make the time waiting more shorter?... & the doctors (maybe including the nurses too)... some of them are just so annoying.. behaving like a snob... Private clinics are better from this aspect... they are quite more friendly... which must be because we will be paying a hundred times more ringgit for their service & medicines... & if you come earlier to the clinic, that doesn't mean you will be the first to get in the dr.'s room... someone, esp those who are related or have a more close relationship with the doctor, can come in before you although they arrived later than you...(this thing happened to my mum)...

Is it because the hospitals are lack of doctors??....(some doctors want to have their own clinic, right...) I'm not really sure... But, I do have some ideas in mind that would help solve this problem... How about having 1 or 2 doctors (with nurses) at the waiting section... they will treat patients with minor illnesses/injuries...

& also yesterday, I listened to Radio Era & they were discussing about having to sing the national anthem, "Negaraku" at the cinema before watching movies... Some sent sms telling she disagreed with that suggestion because they will lose their mood to watch movie if they have to do that...~duh~

Personally speaking, it's actually a great idea... Like somene who called the radio station said, it can help our people to be more patriotic esp the youngsters... This activity should not be done in cinemas only... It can be done before sport tournaments, before holding meetings in offices, before local artistes perform in a concert....etc...

hehe...just dropped in to say, "hi"...

I just created these 2 gif recently....hmm...not that bad, right?

Removed dead link to PB.

This is one of my favourite scene in Alec's Happy Sunday (Kuai Le Xing Qi Tian) last year - with Chae Rim as one of his guest...

Same as above.

This scene is from episode 39 of "Love of the Aegean Sea"...hmmm....a very loving and heartwarming scene....of course, also, one of my favourite scene...hihi.. watching this scene again -- En Qi reminds me of Yang Si Lang....

------------------------------------------

~~...........*BIG SIGH*................

Today had BM and BI papers.... Don't remember much about Prosa Tradisional and Puisi [I didn't do enough reading]--- just simply write...man...my teacher would be very noisy about this ....

& BI... I was rushing to finish the 'directed writing' section...For 'continuous writing' I chose to write about how I prepare for major examination which ended up almost like my diary entry....
Quite funny, actually... the way I write looks like as I am blaming the school for my problems... To think about it----

FINE. I do blame them. Its their fault. Most teachers only teach their FAVOURITE STUDENT. They are being unfair! I HATE THEM!!!!

Life is unfair!!!!!

------------------------------------------
Long Time No See!!!!!~~~
This pic is from a recent show (forgot what its name....) where the guests includes Alec and Vicki Zhao....after all this years....


Picture not available. Dead PB account.
------------------------------------------

Recently, I had downloaded some of the videos I had long to watch....Zhong Yi Da Ge Da and Fen Mian Ren Wu.....ALSO the SUPER SUNDAY where Alec was looking for his fan, Yi Hua!!!! Thousands of thanks to the person who uploaded it

...... Yet, still looking for other videos ... like Kang Xi Lai Le.... and clips of QDAQH that is not included in the 40-episodes version......
