~This is the last post (from 'there') I'm adding to this blog~

What a terrible week. God, let me forget whatever had happened this week (& what will happen tomorrow). Amen.

Wow. It's going to be June already next week.

Ahhh. Yesterday I heard something very disturbing about my BIO teacher. He said something about us being arrogant to the lower sixth-formers... Well, actually this is a small matter only.. maybe it was unintentional.. but the person who first broke the news to us made it seem so negative... (added with the embarrassing incident where my friend & I kena halau from the orientation room when he was to give taklimat on his subject => giving me the impression that he's going to say something we wouldn't want to hear.).. STILL.. it's nothing big, but it ruined my day. I don't blame the teacher. He gave us time to prove to him that we can cope with the subject yet we haven't showed much improvement throughout this year. But it's still painful.

And today I sat for my [mock] MUET speaking test (we are going to take the year-end MUET)--- IT WAS PATHETIC. Disastrous. Tragic. What the hell was I thinking??! I didn't talk much. I can't find anything to say about "peer pressure". We lacked of chemistry in group discussion. Stupid me! I was very, very nervous since yesterday... My heart even beated so fast before I fall asleep.. & I kept thinking & thinking about the BIO thingy... Yes. Stupid me, again!

Well, I've said enough. Let's just move on with life.


Hmmm..
The funny thing is.. what happened made me see that life is fun & unpredictable. I think my MUET teachers expected something good from me BUT I messed things up. I [do] can be unpredictable at times. (Although this 'unpredictable' is something teachers would call 'inconsistency'...) Maybe I don't want to be left alone even after I have learnt how to walk because I still want some attentions from them. How childish of me..

Life is full of ups & downs, that's why it is unpredictable. And those unpredictable things makes life fun because you'll never know for sure what will happen to you in the future.. Why do you have to worry about the future & not the present time where you'll be shaping up your future? Life is always enjoyable even at undesirable times.

Imagine that you only have a few months more to live.. What will you do before you leave this world? Surely (if it's me) I'll do things I never did before (think positively, please) which I'll regret if I don't do it now before it's too late. And by thinking this way, I appreciate life even more..(Life is also short & vulnerable, don't you agree?)..

Okay, the main point is: Although I didn't do well this time, I believe I can do better next time. I just have to practise more & overcome this shyness which unable me to speak english. Also. I must NOT care TOO MUCH about what teachers say or will say about our weaknesses (or whatever). That was what made me went down during those SPM years.


Ruth, FIGHTING!





Why didn't I say this much during that MUET test??

Insects Collection
It seems that we could finish collecting insects before school holidays! I hope so, because it's very bothersome to do the project during holidays where I can use the time catching insects to study (finish reading all the syllabus & do exercises!).

We still have to preserve 25 plants-lah. But that's MORE easily done than insects.

& I admit that PRESERVING INSECT is fun. yeah, I know it seems cruel... but the good thing is, I started to pay close attention to nature. I realise that there's so many unique insects around us. The bad thing is, I'm good at spotting/finding them but don't have enough guts to catch them.


WHY NOT?
Because I focused more on studying BIO lately (& also most of my classmates), we were very anxious about our final exam marks.

What I can say about mine: .............Yokatta desu... I'm REALLY GLAD that I passed. (I failed last BIO monthly test. & I never passed BIO papers in f4/f5.)

Marks for Paper 1 & Paper 2 are calculated separately. Passing mark is 40(/60) for paper 2. I can't remember Paper 1's..20 or 30?... Anyway, I got 37/50 for Paper 1 & 47/60 100 for Paper 2.. so for Paper 1 - it's 74%, & Paper 2 - 78% *oops. Stupid MIScalculation. But I still passed anyway.*.

It was an ugly situation when the BIO teacher returned our papers. He, again, stressed out about re-thinking.

"Think carefully whether you still want to do this (BIO, form 6). If you think it's difficult right now, don't think it's going to be easier in the future. It will be MORE difficult later. So if your Maths & other science subjects are... then you should think again."

That was yesterday. Today, he had a little talk with a friend of mine, Ren-chan. He was her teacher back then in f4/f5 - & he told her that her results were never good that she should "re-think".

How tragic.

I guess I rarely see a decent teacher in Malaysia (well, at least in Sabah.). Or is it there's none of such teachers ever exist in M'sia. Or it's just sth every Form 6 teachers have (funnily, form 4/5 teachers also have this). Pathetic.

I thought teachers should expose their students to the world of possibilities. Keep telling their students that it's not impossible to do this or that. Although there might be setbacks & unfortunate events, teachers should still "let" their students know that there's "light" in everything. That when you fail, doesn't mean you fail throughout your life. *sigh* maybe teachers nowadays have lost hopes in their students. Unless they prove to that teacher that they are a "genius" then only the teachers want to help them. Why should it be like that?

Teachers do not think of their students as their own children. Why should they? They are not related to each other. But having teachers thinking that way means having teachers who do not care about their students welfare. & again, why should they? They are not related.

What an ugly reality.

I feel hurt with [teachers of] such manners. My other friends too. Some of them even seem to start re-thinking whether to drop Form 6 or not. I told her no. "If you want to re-think, re-think a way to improve your results & NOT about dropping f6."

I think a teacher could never be liked as a person. I personally like teachers who CAN teach & have a positive attitude/manner.

August is here, September is NEXT!
Unbelievable! My Maths teacher's birthday is on 31 August (oh well, he told us...) & I'm on the next day! 1st September!

No CHEM teacher
Believe it or not, we'll meet our new Chemistry teacher...Next Year!

*sigh* Well, the previous teacher did tell us that she'll be our teacher till the new teacher arrives. But I don't think she'll keep her word. She has a reputation of seldomly (I really mean it) coming into her classes. yeah. I already asked those who had been in her class before. But she's a good teach-er though.

I just can imagine what will happen next year. The teacher might be an inexperienced teacher. And he (well..I hope the teacher is a "he"). We'll be learning everything in a very HIGH speed. Hmm. We might need to go to school to on Saturdays (& Sundays?) too. And just one month before exam, we'll all end up in Bukit Padang Hospital. And we'll live happily ever after.

aiyo! Touch wood! I don't want that to happen!

Anyway, everyone is looking for a way to overcome this problem. What I'm going to do is SELF-studying. Should I take tuition classes? I don't know. I'm not that kind of person who feel comfortable with tuitionS.

But anything can happen. Maybe he'll show up [late] this year. Who knows?


Am I Monk-ish?
Haha... you can take the test yourself here. Test not available anymore.

SRK LY Primary 6 2000 Reunion
Oh well... my friends from matrics are holiday-ing right now. So someone came up with with this reunion idea. It's this Saturday. Well... I don't know if I want to go or not. I just don't feel like having a reunion right now.

Spectac[les]-ular
The late-night sleepS I had last year must have been the cause. Well... lately, I'm having trouble with my eye. Sometimes its blurry, sometimes it's not. But, well... I got myself a dark green-coloured spectacles. Hmm.. But I seldomly wear it. Certainly, it's not something I'm proud about.

This dorama was very popular at D-A last year but I didn't DL & watch it till this year--- The version I'm watching is the one subbed by TV-Nihon.

Before watching I thought it would just be a plain beauty-and-the-beast (or like Jinkama-san said,"An otaku & princess") story. I was really interested with "Densha Otoko" after reading that it was based on a real story (someone really posted on the message board in Japan, asking for dating advice.... etc!) & that made me assume that the plot would be about an otaku trying change himself to win a [pretty] girl's heart which would of course involved the word "lie".

But the plot wasn't all focusing on these two.

What attracted me most about the plot is the thing Yamada Tsuyoshi has gone through to realized his wish \\\"I want to fall in love"///. You can really see & feel the changes his character had as the story goes on. Changing your current mindset & way of thinking to sth you never have/do before so that it will fit your dreams/wishs requirements...is not easy.. really.. it's very not easy. aii... there were several eps that made me cry.. The story can make you laugh but it can also make you cry at the same time..

p/s: wow... I saw some familiar faces in "Densha Otoko".. Gokusen's Uchiyama, Gokusen 2's Tsuchiya, Nobuta wo Produce's Nobuko.....lol.. & isn't the drunk man in the train Jiro-nisan's couch?...

'_'.

...not really over....still got EST & PP paper this Friday & Monday...

But all the deadly papers are over....settled....finished!!!!!! & now I can start rambling again..!!

Diao Man Gong Zhu is out already...because I'm so tempted to read all the spoilers given by those who have watched it ... I've download it myself. (this reminds me about MSQY... the VCDs are out in S'pore already but I still can't find it here in M'sia... maybe I miss sth)

I watched till Eps 7...ummph..I still not impressed by the story (except anything related to the emperor!!!! Alec is so kawaii playing as the emperor & his chemistry with Wen Mei Er (yes, Wen Mei Er) was good...(still can say anything about him with Situ Jing)...although it's not like watching Xiao Zhao with Zhang Wuji...it's still good. No offence but Bai Yun Fei still looks old to me (& what's the matter with his hair??...it's kind of out of place...or it's because of my eyes? *Yabe's wigs looks better than that!!*)... & I finally saw the guy who acted as Song Yuen Qiao in HSDS acting as a baddie! LOL...he always look like a baddie to me in HSDS(but he's not bad in there)

oh yeah, I forgot! The theme songs...

Well, the opening was "Fan Zhuo Ne" but it's the other version...the not-Alec's-voice version!! Really suprised by this at first, esp in the end they show the credits & it was stated that the song is sang by Alec & Jang Nara!!! misleading info!!!!

the ending is Alec's song....titled: Ni Shi Wo De..
I love the title, "You Are Mine", the lyric are lovey-dovey, but I like it!
(En Qi once said the same thing to Xiao Tong!)

Aaaiiiiii......*sigh*

Chemistry
Anybody would enjoy being taken care by other people even if you didn't say it.. Doesn't it feels good when someone asks about your problems & gives you his/her support & advice? It sure does.

I actually don't quite like my Chemistry teacher, Miss Jenny C.O.L. She is too friendly to her students...this is what has always cause disturbance to her class. When they are talking, laughing, joking around etc she forgots to finish the thing she is teaching...

But today she gave me a different feeling... She asked me about my Chemistry Paper (sth that rarely happened) ...& made an announcement to the class to tell everyone not to be stingy with their knowledge... PLEASE HELP RUTH to understand (the concepts etc)...

I think that was sweet (although I feel a bit embarrassed..>_<)... With such caring teacher, I don't mind studying hard (notice it's 'HARD' not 'SMART') for her.


My Bratty Princess : Fan Zhuo Ne (duet song-Alec Su & Jang Nara)
Saw the MV for this song...hehehe more Emperor & Princess scenes... Now, the serial drama looks more promising... but I can feel that the story will be full of misunderstandings..hmmm

The lyric for the song was very simple & direct... The girl don't know which one to love.. the boy kept asking her who's the one... The girl became tired of thinking who it will be.. (& need help from other ppl)... In the end, she gave up thinking cos she's hungry!!

I would want to see Alec & Jang Nara sing that song live on stage!

Images not included.

A part of the news mention about Alec & Jang Nara's first impression after meeting each other for the first time.

[pArTiAl]
(蘇有朋、張娜拉初見面互有好印象)

這是蘇有朋第四度和韓國明星合作，蘇有朋對張娜拉的第一印像是她本人比螢幕上漂亮、嬌小、機靈。而張娜拉也對媒體表示初見蘇有朋感覺他很斯文有智慧、很老實又很帥！

Alec's first impression:
Jang Nara is smart & looks prettier than on screen.
Jang Nara's first impression:
Alec is very polite/courteous & wise, very honest & handsome!!

Haha....

~streamyx was back to normal 2 days ago...was really worried when it was down~~

So...umpph ...this is my first post in the month of April...

Has read a lot of news regarding Alec's new serial (I suppose)...Hmmm..according to the translated news at www.alecfanclub.com...it seems that it is confirmed that Alec will be collaborating with Jang Nara..The serial title is Diao Man Gong Zhu 刁蠻公主/Wo De Diao Man Gong Zhu 我的刁蠻公主...I assume that the princess must be like Xiao Yan Zi - different, playful, sometimes rude, etc.

...hi...hi...Alec will be acting as a prince...After Fifth Prince/Wu Ah Ge, Yong Qi, he'll becoming a prince again...

Somewhat I look forward to this serial...Has been hoping that Alec will act with many other Korean actresses. He has good chemistry with Chae Rim in "Love of the Aegean Sea" and Warriors of the Yang Clan"...Also hoping Alec to act with Chae Rim in a serial/movie with happy ending...2 years ago, if not mistaken he was to choose between Chae Rim ( for QDAQH) and Song Hae Gyo (forgot the serial name)...Eventually , we get to see him acting as Lu En Qi....which is priceless...

蘇有朋與韓星張娜拉為避嫌，不住同一飯店？「白色巨塔」卡司遲遲未定，蘇有朋等候近半年，已確定先接下吳敦製作的「我的刁蠻公主」，與張娜拉搭檔演出，唯一的要求是兩人不住同飯店。

Actually could understand why he wants to stay in different hotel...
Partial article .:Source:. .:Translated:.

Read from Chae Rim's forum, she will also be acting as a princess in a chinese period drama - Princess Sheng Ping...She'll be acting with Nick Cheung...
