Looking at her face

Yes, Menatap Wajahnya - Anak Laut tingkatan 4.

I have just finished reading this short story before blogging and MAN! That was the BEST Malay story I've ever read so far. I never knew that Anak Laut holds these type of magnificent stories. It was really touching... I loved it (even from the introduction itself!).

So now... The reason I wanted to blog is to tell you about my frustration today in school. Add Maths - differentiation. I've just lost extra 2% (BONUS) for final exam. Benjamin once again grabbed it all. It's not to say that I dislike him or whatsoever but he really makes me feel so bad at times at which I just want to burn up all my books - because he's damn smart and he shows it. Well, at least to me... However, we're still friends. No matter what comes to us.

Even though I am better than him wholly, I still feel I am lacking of something. Something he has but I don't.

After reading the short story, the author has taught me another lesson (that I forgot):

"Muliati kecundang dalam percubaan pertama... tapi Muliati jangan mudah menyerah kalah. Muliati bangunlah kembali di atas tapak itu. Bina tinta-tinta harapan yang baru. Dengan berkat ketabahan dan usaha, pasti Muliati akan berjaya juga. Teruskanlah perjuangan."

Longest Essay Ever!

Today was a really cocky-and-shitty day. Thank goodness I skipped free periods!!! My BM teacher is supposed to collect ALL our ANTI-CORRUPTION essays and send them by today and guess what?

I have all the information but no idea... So, teacher asked me to 'drop it'.

I was like, WHAT?! TEACHER... NO! IT'S NATIONAL LEVEL!!!

Then I went to see her for a while, I asked her to trust me just once that I can finish the essay (word limit of 1000, minimum count of 750) if she gave me time. She said, OK. Go to my room and do now.

And so I did for hours and hours and hours............. Finally, it has reached the conclusion:

Intihanya, pencegahan rasuah ini merupakan tanggungjawab yang harus dipikul oleh orang ramai. Maka dengan itu, pihak kerajaan mahupun swasta seperti BPR disarankan untuk bergembleng tenaga bersama-sama dengan rakyat Malaysia untuk mencapai matlamat RASUAH SIFAR di Malaysia.

Total word count: 946 words!

Really tiring and the keyboard there isn't as good as mine here. I have one or two typing errors that I forgot to alter on the spot! At least, my contents are there. I really hope I can win something...... But if I don't. I don't mind too, because once I submit my essay, I am already ensured with a NATIONAL LEVEL participation certificate.

Nerd and Birthday

Yea, that is what Louisa calls me. Now, they're gonna tease me more.

WHY?!

Because I have to wear a special spectacles (but still! It's a pair of spectacles!)

My astigmatism isn't as WOW high as I described. The optician there, Mr. Cherif - from Tunisia, did an eye check on me and my angles are only L50 and R25. Short sightedness isn't a problem for now, so my specs are of 0 power.

I'll upload my so-called nerdy face once I have to specs with me alright?!

*****

(A LONG POST NOW)

I came back from KL after my eye check-up at 3pm. So tired and the three of us (Mum, Yen and I) took a nap before the both of them head back home. This was what happened few days back in Ipoh when they are all busy preparing for Popo's (mum's mum) birthday.

Day 1 (Arrival)

Granny and I took a bus to Ipoh on 25/9/2009 and seriously. It was such an effing boring journey! 5 solid hours of bus air conditioner. Thank the LORD that we've VIP seats earlier.

Departure: 3.40pm

Time of arrival (Medan Gopeng, the Silver State): 8.20pm

Then we both waited for Mum for a score of minutes I think... and we headed for wantan mee before all of us went home.

Popo's situation isn't good. She's frustrated with her cataract. She isn't even looking at any of us when she speaks. She says she only can see shadows vaguely. I was half sad for her, and half grateful to God that I still have my Granny (dad's mum) helping me with my daily humdum.

(I am using present tense here because she is still in the same condition)

Day 2 (Party)

We had lunch earlier that day and so many things've happened then! I took 7 parts of videos all broken into small files. There, I was giving coverage about the hustle and bustle of the lunch we all had.

Then, Yen and her 2 friends and I (alongside with Mum and Aunt Mooi) went to the restaurant at 4.30pm to prepare everything - the final touches, I would say... It was damn tiring! I could fall asleep when helping Mum to decorate the 'table numbers'.

7.00pm was when people started to flood in the restaurant. I was ushering all of them until Granny came about 7.25pm. Mum asked me to accompany her.

At around... 8.15pm was my turn to sing (after our 2 first dishes). it was the singing session where Aunt Mooi will randomly pick someone from anywhere to sing for Popo.

I sang Home Sweet Home and Wo De Bao Bei. It was a little jammed up actually because I was too nervous! I couldn't even press the G chord right for the Chinese song.

We continued eating and then we called it a day after the desserts came out (and eaten) where people go out and home...

I have learnt many things from this day. It isn't about ME, MYSELF and I but it's about YOU AND I, TOGETHER and US. It was a feeling that I couldn't put it into words, seriously. Just like my Gala Night and Farewell Party. 'Twas great!

Day 3 (Departure-today)

I have nothing else to say already. Everything is up there. So, that's it for now. Imma take my shower. TTFN and love y'all!

PS: If any of you wanna see the videos and pictures, feel free to add me in Facebook - my username is Alexander Ooi Kim Huat.

Au revoir.

Impact after shit!

Worse!!!!!

After I was 'completely' dehydrated due to my food poisoning, now of course I am as good as ever. But one bad effect has tagged along... Which I doubt the cause is my medicines that I took for that period on my 'death bed'.

NOW.....................................................................

My taste buds are not working well!!!

I can't taste sweet, salty, bitter or even sour food now. I can only depend on the smell of the food as my guide.

THANK GOD my nose is functioning well!

Feeling like SHIT!

Yesterday, I had my breakfast of chee chong fun and there, everything started. I started to feel cold and sick with my stomach contracting or some sort like that...

I thought I forgot my lunch later on (as usual) but I couldn't even finish my rice. So, I decided to hit the sack. But then again, I felt really weird and I almost puked after a few minutes. Which I really did.

So my granny called my cousin sister and she sent me to a 24-hour clinic in Rahang. Took a shot in the arse. Hurt so much! After all, everything was for only RM45.

Gosh, I tell you this: yesterday was the worst experience I ever had! I've been puking for more than 10 times in a day! WOW, I was really tired after that.

So now, I am feeling way better because I finally stopped puking (yay!) but I still feel a little dizzy...

Building blocks

Building blocks of stress are on their way to my brain now. It actually started last 2 weeks I think, the time when I couldn't sleep.

Today my Maths teacher finished our form 4 syllabus which means:

I HAVE TO EAT MATHS UP SOON!

I have doubt if I can score at least 8 1A's (my target) because... I have too many things to handle in one month's time. It is really freaky when I even start thinking about it.

Chemistry chapter 9 - Haha, read for ourselves my teacher said.

Physics chapter 5(last chapter) - she's finishing it and she said that the paper is SUPER HARD.

I guess all I can do for now is relax for one whole day, and start cramming every facts in my brain.

Bon voyage.

C Em F G - C Am F G!

Yes you must be wondering what the hell are those. I tell you what: those are my guitar chords.

A CHINESE SONG's guitar chords. Wo de bao bei (my baby) by Zhang Xuan.

And guess what! I have to sing this song during my Popo's (mum's mum) birthday on the 25th this month. 2 WEEKS MORE! HELP ME! Now is the time where I need my Chinese friends to help me with the weird pronunciations!

I decided to pick this song instead of Enrique Iglesias' Hero last night because I reconsidered everything.

1. Most of them or maybe ALL of them will be Chinese.

2. A Chinese boy gotta sing a Chinese song, for Chinese parties.

3. My Popo doesn't understand English.

So, now... I need you! HELP ME!

My MSN Chat. My friend just called me a chemwhore just because I said say HYDROXIDE instead of OH... Meh.

PS: try this out. It's nice. Make sure you turn your volume up alright! www.killerjo.net

OK

Just a short thread here.

Anne has asked me to tried this one out just now. Cbox. Wonder what it does... Just looka yonder (on your left, the sidebar)

Bye.

To Kill a Mockingbird

I finished reading this fine piece around one something today before I hit the sheets. The storyline was so simple but very meaningful. Even though I didn't feel the goosebumps after I finished reading it (indicating the piece is real good) but I felt the book is uber great! Kudos to Harper Lee...

I could not put the book down after chapter 27 because the suspense was getting heavier. Saying that Jem and Scout almost got murdered, and then Bob Ewell dead, with Boo Radley's appearance. Man, it was great. It was just great!

I wonder will I ever write as good as her...

News update

I managed to get my 2% for Malay language test today!!! I did not beg but I just asked her,

'Teacher, this answer is in the given excerpt but why you didn't accept it?"

Then she started analysing my answer and I got an extra 1/2 mark for that. She also gave me tips on how to tackle that kind of question.

She flipped to the next page and started scanning again after she said,

"So, you need another half mark... Hmmm..."

And she gave me another half indeed after analysing the answer that I wrote. After that, she added:

"Because I know, you actually deserve a 1A for this paper..."

Yea well, because she had been giving me very high marks before this, hehe...

In Bio lab however, things got a little sour for me. Yea, you've guessed it right: my first 2A for Biology test (again)... 75%

It was rather disappointing because I have all the points there BUT (!) I answered them wrongly, or some sort like that. My friends that like Science subject(s) might understand me...

Then, (hehehe) the brainies; Yu-Xuan, Gopinath, Francine (and I butted in to join the cause of rebel) debated with Madam Christine about 3 questions and we won 2/3!

It's still not enough for me as I will get 78% if it is really true. I need this one more just to save my butt from the 2A lingering danger... I really hope all of us can get that right!

Teacher, it bloody IS interphase, NOT prophase!!!

YES! IT IS INTERPHASE!!! CHROMOSOMES REPLICATE DURING S PHASE WHICH IS THE DNA REPLICATION GAP BEFORE PROCEEDING TO G2 PHASE! IT'S INTERPHASE!!!!!!!!!

Today

Today is a very tiring day.

Why?

Because...

We have to write more than 300 words in Chemistry (our notes for Voltaic cell) and then during Physical Ed. our teachers (Mrs. Liz and Mr. Rusli) did the second term of SEGAK test. It's some kind of a fitness exam where we have to undergo twice per annum.

Then my gang (Amir A, Puvanarubbaan, Tan, Amad, Zai and Eswaran) played a 4 on 3 volleyball game just for the fun of it... We were really having fun for 20 minutes until we went in our class after the school bell rings and...

Mrs. Asriah (Math-cum-Add maths teacher) came in and checked on our Math homework on Trigonometry graphs. Man, half the class was punished for not completing her work (but I was not one of them... Hehe) and the day went on.

I don't know why, but today is a very tiring day! As in VERY tiring! OK, I'm off to bed now. Good night.

PS: My Physics marks increased from 57% to 61% (from 6C to 5C). Hoorah!

The Day Worsened!

Today, the results for Moral, History and Physics are back. I had so much hope for Physics because it seemed simple. I don't know what went wrong AGAIN! I only got 57% while others got more than 60%.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

History: 76% (2A, I never got such good marks for History before)

Moral: 68% (3B)

God bloody damn it! Another B. Perhaps I just have to face the universal truth:

I AM A BLOODY DUMB CHILD!

Screw it, man! No matter how much I have read: I still bring this marks back. The same old shat. This year has the most record of me admitting myself dumb. Which in fact, I am. I will never do well in Physics.

I will just need to strive for 9 1A's then. Physics - a goner.

4 Ixora Madness

Which is actually from me. By right, today I brought my camera to take pictures for my Moral folio regarding ALAM SEKITAR

BUT

It rained heavily! So I took pictures with my friends and some videos too. I still do not know what the hell is wrong here in the Net that it takes extra long time to upload the videos!!

By the way, my results are back and I am not very happy with them. I flunked on both language papers! WHAT THE FISH!!!!!

Malay language: 78% 2A

English: 72% 3B

Chemistry: 85% 1A

Mathematics: 100% 1A

Additional Mathematics: 83% 1A

This is not suppose to happen! Man, you gotta be joking! I know people out there isn't happy with my 'ungratefulness' you see but that is what I am feeling now. I am really unhappy with my marks. I don't see people who gets lower marks me just to make myself feel better because I know it is wrong and I will never succeed too in that way.

It makes me feel so bad because all this (damn) while, I got these 2 subjects 1A and now?! Just look at the result!

Curse me for being blind... Seriously! Curse me for being ignorant: I left out an 's' in Mrs. Saunders and I got zero for the simple question! Just ONE TEENY WEENY mark will change my grade (of English) from 3B to 2A. But I will never beg for marks because I can't do that in SPM you see. Anyway, things were going well after that.

Here are the pictures I took in school:

(Taken in Physics lab during Physics of course... While teacher was blabbering something other that Physics)

(Ben, the one that...)

(Aruna and Yuva!!!)

(Amir, taken impromptu and he said; 'Oh shit! What the fuck?')

There are some videos which I am trying to upload in facebook now. Feel free to check them out BUT only friends of mine in facebook are allowed. Sorry...
