Unsleep Yourself

2009-12-20T11:18:00.000-08:00

Something weird is happening to me. The exact time now is 3:23 am. And I've barely slept for less than 2 hours. When I went to sleep just now, I was really tired.

Now, I don't feel tired, sleepy, nor energetic at all. It's like my body gone completely neutral. And the time spent just now did not recharge my brain.

You know how you always dream not after you go to sleep, but rather, the moment before you wake up? Yeah that happened to me right after I went to sleeping mode. And around 10 dreams went through my head just now. So my brain was kinda messy and the details of my dreams are still fresh.

I sound like a whiny pre-teen Twilight fan.

Whoa!

Hopefully it's just raging hormones. Going to try and sleep now.

Winter Has Come

2009-12-19T03:31:00.001-08:00

It's a rainy day on a busy Saturday. Shopping goers cursing at the fully parked sheltered areas. Drivers straining their legs - manual car users - to cope with the slow traffic.

It's nearly Christmas and everyone's doing last minute shopping. It seems like for the past few days, someone literally rained on enthusiastic Christians' parade.
But again, it's winter time and for us who only have 1 season, it seems appropriate for us, lucky enough, to have rains. So why not we just embrace the rain and just let it splash on us. Remembering childhood and the feeling of getting better after a minor fever. And maybe just take a sip of warm coffee and enjoy the symphony of rain.
Or just sleep all day.

Oh Life

2009-12-16T21:06:00.001-08:00

It's funny how humans like to complicate life.
Assuming things out of own thoughts.
Smiling in front of a person, but a tiny smirk untraceable behind him or her.
A small gesture from a person will make another come out with any possible, or not so possible outcomes in their minds.
How a person try to fit in, when he himself is not fitting the right thoughts in him.
And how people were born with the ability to outcast people by appearances, and automatically accept others without a second thought.

Sometimes, most of the time actually, people will be better without this side in them. Life will be without secrecy and complications.
But I guess, some just love the dramas. Peace to little pieces of details in your life.

Life's Lesson 101

2009-12-13T08:03:00.000-08:00

My mama always say, life is like a box of donuts. What you see is what you get. What you don't see, makes it more delicious.

Begins & Endings

2009-12-09T02:47:00.000-08:00

As a series of life has ended. I keep in my memory what I had to - friends, happenings, progresses, reflections, the good times, the crazy times and even the bad ones.

And of course, the ones I do not need, unlike the others, I decided not to burn them because I am an environmental friendly good citizen. Yeah I'm a saint. So these big piles will be recycled. Good riddance.

Don't Kill Me For This

2009-10-10T05:53:00.001-07:00

I suddenly have this racist thought.
You know the Middle East women always cover almost every part of their body except for their visions? What would their passport picture look like?

Uneventful Is The Word

2009-09-16T06:04:00.001-07:00

Jack here reporting to a rusting and dust-covered blog, which is completely abandoned during my exam period. I am suppose to attend a concert today in conjunction of celebrating with most of the Form 5s who finished their trial exams. Instead, I am sitting here sipping coffee and listening to humble music. The house seems miraculously silent with the newly absence of both my loud mom and mom's mom. My father sleeping after a long journey of sending them to the airport.

Once again, my mom left me for a trip to Vietnam for war. Instead of guns and anything explosive, she will be using a keris. Patriotism got the best of her.

But I'll be joining her shortly afterward. Wish me luck, Earthlings. Send each other love and gratitude, we do not need unnecessary wars. Skipping on a concert for certain reason, I am sitting in front of the keyboard making use of my precious youth time writing a bunch of words that confuse and frustrate you who might be trying to figure out what I'm babbling. I am really looking forward to the upcoming holidays to celebrate practically for no reason because hardwork is definitely not the value I applied during exam period.

Thank you for wasting your precious time reading this I am sincerely impressed and amazed that you can even reach here. Will be back at your service to make your life more miserable. Or maybe you won't be back.

In the meantime, my blog will continue it's process of losing Ferrum ions.

I Love M&Ms

2009-08-28T23:26:00.000-07:00

Today I was enjoying a packet of M&M chocolate candies. And to be truthful, the colourful coatings of them are quite unappetizing to me. So I decided to decolourise it by putting them in hot water. This is after 15 seconds. It actually looks quite cool. The colour blend. I don't mean the candies.
Left nothing but chocolate and the peanut inside it. And the chocolate is very soft. Yuck. That's why I love M&Ms.

Wise Saying From My Grandmother

2009-08-24T08:15:00.000-07:00

(The conversation below were all spoken in Mandarin)Me : Wah, ah ma! So hardworking ah. Reading newspaper.
Ah Ma : What? No lah! I'm looking at (lottery) number! So frustrating, never even win! Waste my money!Me : Then don't buy lah.
Ah Ma : Cannot! If my number wins but I didn't buy, that will be more frustrating!
I love my grandma.

Uncertainty

2009-08-19T11:04:00.000-07:00

Can't sleep tonight so will do a short blog post considering that I abandoned it for more than a week sometimes I wonder if I type too much in a sentence without putting commas or fullstops but I think that's just me

Okay that was completely random.
As usual, like any other teens, I am going through the times when I don't know what I'm going to do after I take my SPM examination.
In tuition today, a friend suggested me that taking a year break will help in some ways. That means doing almost nothing concerning academics for one year. That will be total freedom. Either to stay at home and do totally nothing, go out doing adventurous stuff or work part time. Then take my sweet time to think properly what I want to do.

Another friend suggested that I go for pre-U. That will be good too because I can first experience college life and hence, study the many subjects which maybe one of them might raise my interest the most. But the fees around RM10,000.
Haha.

Or music. But that's very risky in some ways.

So I'm still very self-absorb in this traumatic decision. I hate teenagers' mind =(

Last Year, Back Then

2009-08-04T06:37:00.000-07:00

It's funny how time pass by really fast these days. Today I looked through my old files and saw these bunch of photos that I took last year, in class 4H, when I was smarter back then.

This was my class, a heck load of students crammed in one small lab (We were using labs as classrooms last year.) Sebastian was one of the students that no longer share the same class with me. His dramas and extra sensitivity to tickles still remain his trademarks.

And to think that I don't really know these guys back then. Yeah, the ones who stare intensely into each others eyes.

And one of the groups that shared the dumbest yet funniest jokes ever. Some of the jokes' on the long sleeves one. It's okay Jameson, I won't mention your name.

Among the trends that had died is pen spinning. And these drawings.Nah, I'm not that artistic to be able to create such art.

But still, there are somethings never change.
Like this field, Tay Wei Song, he still remains innocent despite some people's attempt to corrupt his mind. And... this guy.

Pre-Exam Concerns

2009-07-27T21:33:00.001-07:00

My violin examination is this coming Friday.

I purposely skip school today just to practice my violin and, hopefully, increase the chances ofsucceeding at it.

Despite constantly reminding myself that it will go well and passing the examination with good marks, I can't help worrying about it. Mistakes keep popping up when I practice and no matter how many times I practice, they won't go away, be it a major mistake or a minor one. Not that getting on my nerves help at all.

I am here typing this out so that I can finally cast away this feeling. In order to settle a matter for good, one must spill out the problem first. After all, worrying is just like a painting.

It is created out of nothing. The only difference is that worry is not a good painting. Now, the worry is gone for good and even if it appears, confidence will be the dominating one.

Well, life is meant to be experimented.

I don't know why I typed that, but I know it will come to my senses one day soon.

Lazy Sunday

2009-07-19T00:05:00.000-07:00

Breakfast in the afternoon? Looks like the Lazy Sunday syndrome struck me again =)

Have You Lived Your Future?

2009-07-17T08:39:00.001-07:00

Do you ever have those moments when you just don't feel like doing anything? When that does do you feel you're wasting your time and the brightness of your future is dimmed bits by bits? Well the truth is, yes you are.

Sometimes I have that and it's hard to motivate myself even though I know it takes away 10 or 20 pages of revisions or a few exercises on the fingers to increase the smoothness in my musical pieces, making it sounds more appealing to passing by pedestrians or add a smile instead of a frown on the face of a friendly neighbour.At times like this I think to myself : Why not just think a lot when I do nothing?

It's true that we think a lot when we do nothing, be it during a boring class session or the second your mind wander off when you try to revise. But instead of thinking about being able to fly, the good life of the rich and famous, dating a Megan Fox, or skip the details of the date and just straight to the point.

Nope I'm talking about thinking about your past that you have buried deep inside of you. This is the time for you to dig it, don't matter the depth, even if the memory hurts or unease you. It might be the only time you have ever felt like that. Does the memory brings you to the first day or your schooling life? The first time you felt the chemistry and adrenaline rushed when you see a member of the opposite gender? Or for some people, the same gender. The embarrassing moments of life? When you try to look like others and end up looking like a dope?

Good, you're rediscovering yourself.

Or take the nothingness of the time, and paint your future? What you think of many times will eventually come to you. Some people call it Law Of Attraction, some call it the blessing of their God, some just call it plain luck. Any way you call it or doubt the power of it, this actually works if the thought is been repeated numerous times or your imagination is strong enough. Trying it will not hurt you nor it'll become the source of your retardation.

How you want your future to be? A spacious garage full with sleek, stylish and big cars? The ability to live a life of an endless spending on every clothes that you lay your eyes on? Or able to attract or socialize with anybody that you want? Or living the life of an everyday tourist, discovering the world?You can picture your future in any crazy or sensible way that you want, just don't choke yourself when doing so.I'm not trying to act matured, just a boy who doesn't want to feel he's wasting his youth when he's doing nothing =)

Question Of The Moment When You're Doing Nothing :
Have you lived your future?

Shampoo Tower

It's not very bizarre,
but definitely something you don't expect from a normal shampoo container.

Counting Nothing

2009-07-11T10:19:00.000-07:00

I had another day of doing nothing and just loitering around my house. Seems like I've been getting a lot of procrastination these days. I even missed my cycling trip today. Which I was really looking forward for it. Someone needs to change his lifestyle real soon.

I hate getting these shitty days =( Don't mind the yellow shorts.

An advert for a... Cup holder?

Man, I don't even know what it's actually called.

When You Guys Were At Homosapien

2009-07-03T06:23:00.000-07:00

I was in Inti College. Here are some interesting photos when a bunch of us guys were there for the Inti Environmental Care Challenge for 2 days.

This is what happened on the 1st night. We were just taking a stroll around the college, then we came across a motorcycle with an Aedes spray machine. Just like cavemen, we were fascinated by it. And someone was too fascinated. This is the aftermath of the smoke. These are actually a bunch of college students playing basketball, which looked more like zombies. Afterwards we hang out at a cafe which we played pool, it's my first time and it's actually quite addictive.While students from other schools were busy studying quizes for the challenge next day.

This is one of the challenges that day. Passing onions by rolling them on bamboos. One bamboo at a time. It was actually quite hard because there were pieces of bamboo skin in the middle of each bamboo stick.

The other challenge was to fill water on a pandan leaf, pass it on to another person without spilling the water or refilling, then pass on to an idiot to fill it in a bottle. What's left of the leaf. Yeah we failed that challenge.

Well, that's about all from a lazy blogger.
Save our environment, pee on trees!

Yet Another School Life

2009-06-27T05:58:00.000-07:00

Here's another short update about my schooling life. Again. Sorry people I have nothing much to blog about and just lazy to talk about events.

This is the desk that I've been using since someone changed my table without my knowledge. Yeah if you look closely, my desk is like a really fast and advanced digestive system - what goes in will go down straight away. This is my Add. Maths teacher, who is currently taking a leave for her... Well just know that the bulge on her stomach is not her fats. If you've not know yet, my class is famous for students who don't pay attention in class, pretend to be sick, having a feast in class, reading other reading materials, just not let it be a textbook, dancing, and it's tough life being a prefect, you have to show that you're a good example to everyone. Sometimes only. (This is before the blacklisted thing happened)

Well, that's basically what you get when you're in 5P.

Blacklisted

2009-06-19T00:25:00.000-07:00

Today I got blacklisted. For playing guitar in class.

How cool is that.

Project 2 : From Melacca To Muar

2009-06-13T20:14:00.000-07:00

Last Thursday, my friends and I did a spontaneous last minute planned journey. That's cycle from Melacca to Muar, Johor then back again.

The team consists of Leroy Bryan, Gin Shen, Kingsley Tan, Noel Martin Smith and I. After my holiday to Phuket, Thailand, it has been uneventful and boring holidays for me. I don't even have the motivation to study at least half a page of those darn subjects. So this is a perfect getaway for me.

Little did I know that this so called perfect is actually torture for me. I was the slowest among them and apparently I dragged the journey longer than it should be. Damn the laziness for not cycling since like.... never.

So the trip started from Ujong Pasir at around 8am, then all the way to the highway that leads to Muar. It took us (kinda took me) 2 hours plus to reach Muar. Sometimes there were apparently no car on the road. A type of animal called snake that we saw on the highway. A coconut water stall on our trip which was very refreshing and brain freezing. Prove that we reached the border of Johor!While we're at Muar something funny actually happened. Noel had a leg cramp, then he literally laughed in pain because he said the pain is ticklish. Then that leads to stomach cramp because he laughed too much. Haha Noel is the man =)

The disappointing thing is we went there to savour on Muar's famous fried oyster, but it usually starts its business around evening time. So we ate pork rice and wantan mee instead, which Melacca ones are better.

Another thing is Muar actually resembles Melacca a lot. Like this street which looks like Bunga Raya. The other attraction that we spent most of the time at is this park where our friends stay. Did I mention they were monkeys? We bought junk food from a stall there and feed most of them. I don't know how they can grow up normal just by eating junk food almost everyday. Spot the monkey. The river there, Which again, is why I'm not being cruel when I say most of Malaysia's rivers are dirty.

A picture just before we leave Muar. Notice how dark we all look.
(On our way back, Noel had another cramp.)

Well I'm not really satisfied with my cycling skill and all but hey, I've certainly done it!
Will I do it again?

After a lot of training perhaps.

Project 1 : Phoneless

2009-06-08T04:48:00.000-07:00

For the past month of May, when people try to contact me, they either get pissed off because I never answer their calls, never reply or even message them back. And on a rare occasion, I'll answer it. This is something that I've started recently, which is Project Self-Disclosure. According to abacon.com (Yeah it's not according to Wikipedia),

Scholars define self-disclosure as sharing information with others that they would not normally know or discover. Self-disclosure involves risk and vulnerability on the part of the person sharing the information.

But what I basically do is just doing something out of the ordinary or some adventures, and I'll share it with you!

So, I've been thinking to myself around the month of April, can a person (more like teenager) survive a day/week/month without cell phone?

So I leave my phone on a side, only to check it now and then, and only reply using my house phone when it's important. Undoubtedly, the number of friends that contact me decreases day by day. But hey! The chances of me getting brain cancer or radiation decreases too! (I'm just trying to make myself feel better so shut up)

Well so now I'm back to using my phone. But the good thing is I don't use it for unnecessary calls and messages anymore and more attention is paid on other matters.

So I dare you to do the same thing too! Well maybe not a month, but maybe a day or two and you'll notice how much money you can save =)

I do encourage you guys to have the same kind of aim too. Like quitting on smoking, emo-ing or over spendage of money on unnecessary stuff. Plan yourself towards a better lifestyle by creating it!

Yeah it seems nothing much for the 1st project. But do suggest ideas or adventures that are realistic of course!

Just Phuket

2009-05-29T05:05:00.000-07:00

Mid year exam has finally ended with everybody dumbstruck by the complexity of questions.Well that has passed and here I'm going to celebrating the end of it knowing that SPM is the real deal and I should not celebrate too early.

Anyways, tomorrow I'm leaving Melacca, heading off to Kuala Lumpur to spend a day awe-ing at their ridiculously expensive stuff.On Sunday, I'm going to Phuket, Thailand. Which is damn exciting because it will be my 1st time going on a vacation without my parents,
1st time going overseas,
1st time taking a ride in a plane,
and now you know how kesian I am, stucked in Malaysia for the past 17 years.

Just look at their sea, it's really crystal clear and clean. Unlike Melacca's, where the sea water is brownishly brown that you don't even know if people pass their waste products inside. And if piranhas are roaming in it. On the other hand, I'll find girls who look like this, who turns out to be a guy.

Inhuman Quarrel

2009-05-23T01:04:00.000-07:00

Today I was watching a movie, suddenly was disturbed by the repetitive meowing or some cats. I went to the back and saw these two cats quarreling noisily. Sort of reminds me of...
Girls.

Dinner At Somewhere Far Away

2009-05-16T07:57:00.004-07:00

I know Mother's Day is ages ago. But I still want to post this because some of the pictures are quite interesting to me.

That day my eldest brother came down and after all sorts of catching up, playing and messing we had, we need to get down to the more serious matter - Dinner.

Before that we took some pictures for fun.
Quite a good picture took by my brother, intentionally showing off his... car. I'm not good with car models and names. A really nice vintage car. Yeah that's my apartment's address. Capture myself. My mom and dad from the view of another car. We ate at the new Bei Zhan Restaurant. It's funny how last time we can just walk across the street to eat there but now we need to take quite a distance (Hence the title of this post). Sad face. =( But the design of both the inside and outside of the restaurant is quite impressive. Cheap art made to look elegant. Most of the pictures here are taken by my brother actually. So I'm not that childish to do something like this. I swear it's not my doing.
Really.

My parents find it hard to decide what to order, and my grandma is apparently lost. We waited quite a long time for the food to be served that the Chinese tea turned from this, to this. Even the sauce looks like it's crying. Here's the 1st and most not appealing dish of all. It's not our vege dish actually but we just go along with it.
Fried seafood tofu. Black pepper PORK!! Their signature Ying & Yang Fish. And of course, the main dish - plain rice. Overall it was edible. I'm still not picture friendly, I think. I'm not a whore to a camera.

Sunday Lunch Time

2009-05-04T06:38:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was the day that I had the house to my own. Most of the time. With my mom went to vacation, and my dad went to work, I can practically do anything I want.

But when it comes to lunch (breakfast I had muesli), although my dad gave me RM10 to buy any food within the amount that will satisfy my big appetite, I was lazy to walk out of my comfort zone because the weather was damn hot in that afternoon. Well, it was another lazy Sunday after all.

So, this is what I cooked. A simple bowl of Maggi Mee, and it's not even cooked actually, I immersed in hot water for about 2 minutes. A packet of biscuit and a cup of coffee to go along with it and hopefully the caffeine will kill my monster appetite.

I seriously need to learn how to cook, best not get my cooking genes from my mom.
Or the easier way - learn how to drive.

Yet Another Brisk Walk

2009-05-02T07:43:00.000-07:00

I had an adventurous brisk walk again. Yes brisk walk but none of those arching upward butts and awkward arms swinging movements. The last time I didn't bring my camera with me, I learned my lesson this time.
But must it be so coincidental that my mom brought the camera along with her for her vacation to Vietnam (Yeah another vacation without me and throwing all the house chores to me, which I never bother to do). So I have no choice but to use my cellphone's camera instead.
Francisco, Eugene and I started the journey from my house at 10.15 pm, then realized that we haven't had dinner yet. So we stopped by at Ayoob Mamak. Thanks to my super slow eating speed and wanted to watch Spiderman 3 showing on a big screen, basically we started our journey around 10.45 pm. Then we headed to Dataran Pahlawan's area there which is full of cars because it's Labour Day. The view on top of Dataran Pahlawan during night time. Then we decided to go to the top of St. Paul's Hill.
The gate of Famosa. I took that picture with flash but it doesn't look any clearer.It's dark up there because there wasn't a single light seen. And occasionally we heard whisperings which we didn't know where the source of it was because we're the only humans there.
The bell tower and a statue which can barely be seen. We were grateful that we overcomed our cowardice and made it up because the view of Melacca during night time is breath taking. But doesn't look that good with my camera. When we felt the hair on the back of our necks were rising, what else but leave the people there alone. This is a motel which I never tried the pizzas and pastas there before. The stairs to clock tower that we passed by. There's Eugene pretending to fall down but looks more like he lost something. And we found this funny looking hole which can fit a whole body into it.
Francisco and his scary looking eyes under flash. Eugene acting cool. And me meditating. The clock tower. The view on top of a building. The attraction of Melacca - Beca. But I don't find those becas with disco music appealing to the tourists.
These red lights makes the night scenery of Melacca nicer but I can't help but think that it resembles Red Light District a lot. Flowers. I don't know what it's called, seriously. Just chilling. Gandhian advice - hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil. The windmill. Then we passed by this walkway behind the main street which you can enjoy the view of the river and the nice stinking smell of it. There's always a cruiser or two pass by. The more narrow walkway. Mafias. Seeing buah cempaka in the town is kinda rare for me. Then we passed by St. Fransic Xavier Church. Random trees with green light. Empty street of Bunga Raya. And empty pathway of Bunga Raya, it was around 12 something. A temple (boring captions I've been writing, it takes alot of energy to think). Where we rest the most was a closed food court. Still seeing the river which already bores me. A bridge that I've never been to, Francisco said it connects to Ocean. Which I don't even know where it is.
Well what I know is it has quite a view there. So fake yet so nice. We stopped by there to chat a lot about... well almost everything. After that, it was around 1 am and we decided to walk back although we don't feel like it. We took the way to St. Peter's Church and City Bayview Hotel. And then I saw this newly "improved" CIMB Bank that I've never notice before. It's kinda weird that they combine a restaurant/coffee shop with a bank. What a good way to spend your money after you just withraw it is none other than on food.
And this last street that we walked. Empty Melacca Raya. Occasionally a few cars will pass by with exotic music and extra bass boost.

English Week : Day 4 & 5

2009-04-29T06:09:00.000-07:00

On the 4th day, which is Thursday, we had, for the Form 5s, highlight of the event for English Week - Debate.
Since 5H and 5P were the only classes that have participants for Debate, only the students of 5H and 5P were there to watch the debate. And man, they sure enjoy every single moment of the debate, because it was more like a sit-com rather than being all serious about arguing with the opposition.
The topic was on This House Believes That The Media Is Eroding Our Traditional Cultures.
This is the government team - 5H. And this is the opposition team - 5P. Just look at the differences between their expressions.
And so the debate started off with the 1st speaker from the government team.

"With this we can be sure that the media is slowly, but surely eroding our traditions." After that was the 1st speaker of the opposition, which exploded with cheers and laughter when titles of cartoon such as Bob The Builder, Postman Pat and Power Rangers were mentioned.
Then it was the 2nd speaker of the government team.

"Our media is corrupting our country!"
"POI!" (Point Of Information)
"Our country is already corrupted!" Then a wave of cheers swam through the hall.

"You know my place, Portuguese Settlement there always have San Pedro and Christmas celebrations every year and there will be young reporters interviewing about our culture. So the media is good!" Of course, if you want to talk professionally, 5H trashed 5P.
But if you want to talk a group of students who never been to debate before and have no clue on what is happening, didn't prepare their speeches, cheered by 5P students (and some of 5H too), and government boo-ed by the students, indirectly, 5P trashed 5H really hard.
I think this is the only debate where winning doesn't matter, instead, humour does. I mean... Yeah.

On the final day, Master Malaysia was held. It's like a game of monopoly, but instead of getting cashes and getting into jail, you answer questions like :
What is P.Ramlee's real name?
Which is the first temple built in Malaysia?
Torturing, I know.
The categories fall into Land, Culture, People, Heritage and General aka Risk.It was the event with the most participants. Mostly because they had no clue what the game's about and an excuse for them to skip classes.

Number of contestants. A student trying to understand the rules of the game. And a guy who completely knows what's going on. Briefing of the game's rules and how to play. Let the game begins! Overall, the game ended well with people tormented by the questions and some others who were lucky to get the easier ones. Well, everyone had fun.

Oh, almost forgot. On Thursday after school, Singing Competition was held. I should stop here.

English Week : Days 1, 2 & 3

2009-04-27T05:20:00.000-07:00

It has been our school's tradition to organize the English Language Week every year. This year, the school authority handed the job to us, the English Language Society. It is really an irony that they would give us the job, consider that the school authority's the one who has been handling every year. On the other hand, our society has such few members that my fingers are literally more than our society's members. (Uhh... I lost count.)

So, on the 1st day, we have Story Telling Competition for Form 1. Unfortunately on that day we didn't bring camera. But it was great to find out that they actually came fully prepared.
Well, some of them. And some even recited poem that didn't even last for 30 seconds.

On the 2nd day, we had Spelling Bee for the Form 2.

Top 21 semi finalists.
It was really a surprise how genius some of them were. Words like gnat, exacerbescence, oppugnant and sialologue were nailed by them.

The top 5 finalists.
Left to right : Stoned by the word that was given, Awkward legs position, Innocent looking guy who looks like he's pointing middle finger.And to actually think that I spent my studying time on day dreaming, eating snacks and now, blogging.

After school it was Treasure Hunt aka Spot The Spot because there were no treasures but only riddles to the spots that they were suppose to find.
Here are some of the riddles that we gave :
A statue's torse you will meet, 8 digits with a dash in between. I'm another name for donkey, and an M in front of me. (Sorry Maths and Science Society members) Contestants sprinting to victory after solving all the riddles.
On the 3rd day, Drama Competition for the Form 4 were held. Too bad (and good) that only 3 classes participated. 2 classes did the short story Looking For A Rain God. Both dramas were kinda messy and a lot of shouting were in the play too. I think it's because they lack time to practice. And another class did The Necklace which I think was good and a lot of humour in between.
Here are some pictures during the preparation.

Committees and some of the actors. Spot the girl.Applying make up for the role as a girl. An image that even the Devil itself will weep about. That is not his "stick".Class of 4K.
So, the drama began with class 4K. Their costumes were awesome but too bad the play was quite off topic. But you gotta give credit for this guy.
Click on the image to enlarge it, and look closely at the only person who's wearing a mask.Men in deep conversations.
Next up was 4P. Also on the drama Looking For A Rain God. Was better but still quite messy. =(
Nesta releasing stress on a doll. That is not a girl! The whole drama crew.
And the last one, was 4H on the drama The Necklace.
Mathilde paying a visit to Madame Forestier. "I look gorgeous!" Nicely choreographed dancing, to one of Akon's songs. When Mathilde found out that she lost the necklace, and needs to work for life off just to pay back the necklace.

"Got teh ais?" Got.
"Got milo ais?" Got.
"Got nescafe ais?" Got.
"Okay, give me one warm water." "Please don't go! I need the money!" After the drama, it was yet another photo session.
The committees and most of the drama actors. Horny me.

Sweet Sound

2009-04-23T08:23:00.000-07:00

My brother came down today.
This time, he brought with him a box which looks like this. I've been stuck with my laptop which has no speakers for a long time. Sometimes I find it hard to enjoy a good movie with no "umphh".
So I asked my brother to buy a good set of speakers, with reasonable price from his I.T. shop. Hope he doesn't charge me anything (greediness at it's best).
When I open the box, this is what I saw. I thought there was nothing inside and it's just a joke, after all, it's still April now. But beneath that is this. Sweet.
Like other speakers, it comes with a bass booster to rock your house down. 2 high tech looking speakers. And a setup guide book. This is how it looks like together with my laptop. Sweet to the max. Now I can fully enjoy my songs and annoy my parents with loud music.

Absence Doesn't Mean Vanished

2009-04-20T06:15:00.000-07:00

Today I was having duet with my piano teacher, then suddenly I stopped playing and said, "Yeah I practiced until here."
... in Chinese.
I always speak to my piano teacher in English but suddenly I was talking as if I'm having another normal class with my violin teacher.
I kinda missed my classes with my violin teacher although a lot of scolding for not practicing and telling me philosophy stuff were involved.
But not long ago, he passed away due to old age and the last I saw him was about 4 months ago, excluding the funeral I went to last Friday.
Well now I have to depend on my own to practice my violin and get a good mark for Violin Grade 6 Examination.I'm sure he was looking at me practice duet with my piano teacher today, somewhere out there peaceful, and serene.

SeaYa Exhibition

2009-04-14T18:59:00.000-07:00

I visited this place when I was at Sunway Pyramid, but I forgot to post it up. It's a small exhibition about fishes. Since I'm a "frog under a fried prawn" (katak di bawah tempura; I like messing with Bahasa Melayu), I find it quite fascinating. But I don't understand why they put up all these plastic figures. A shark which looks like out of the movie Finding Nemo. And Nemo itself. Fortunately, there were also small aquariums which I was tempted to knock on them. And this was the first fish that I saw. Looks dead.
And a fish which looked pissed off. The only (real) shark that I saw. It's funny how it didn't eat the other fish. Lion fish. Random picture with no good caption. That's it for now. Sea Ya!

Taste Of CountrySide

2009-04-07T05:45:00.000-07:00

The sight of paddy field when my mom paid a visit to her friend who lives somewhere quite far away from the busy city of Melacca. It's a peaceful sight indeed.
And a perfect getaway for my mom to speed driving instead of getting stuck in traffic jams.

Imagination

2009-03-25T07:54:00.000-07:00

What does the cloud look like to you? Use your imagination!

Sun Way

2009-03-19T09:27:00.000-07:00

These are some of the pictures I took in Sunway Pyramid after a school trip to Taylor's University College. In the middle of the shopping mall, is an emo-looking guy playing cheerful tones on the piano. Just kidding, he was awesome.
Sunway Pyramid, unlike other shopping malls, is "a little bit very" humoungous, but contradictarily, nothing much to check out, except for exercising your legs.
But the designs are not bad at all. Ancient bouncers.Guarding a funny looking balloon made... tarantula.
If that's the corret term to describe this thing. They are actually not connected. Pyramid based designs. Modern Eygptians. I friend Hippies. Some random shirt I saw in one of the shops there. Reliving good old times. It was a long day and everybody was tired on our way back.
Like father, like daughter. Yup, like father, like daughter.

13th Prefect Leadership Conventional

2009-03-16T07:57:00.000-07:00

It was the best first and last year of prefect camp for me.
I was in charge of Juice Bar (1st day). And you don't want to know what we put inside the juniors' drinks.
In charge of Warcraft (2nd day) which was full of wetness and craziness. And no, it's not the DotA stuff.
We also played blind trails, scaring juniors during that, sing songs, had less than 4 hours of sleep, leading in funny and stupid moves with the juniors to shook off their sleepiness, do crazy stuff and we also sang Jumper!
The Form 5s and Form 6s felt like kings and queens in that camp. I was busy playing and planning activities so didn't really take any pictures. Will upload the pictures from others' cameras some other time (hopefully). One of the best camps in my life and will never forget about it. Age Quod Agis! (Whatever you do, do your best!)

P.S : Just had a long nap from 4pm till 10 pm and going to wake up at 5.30am for a trip to Taylor's College tomorrow.

Great Week Ahead!

2009-03-13T18:09:00.000-07:00

Yesterday my friend, Kingsley, and I went for a walk.
A long walk.
A "we start from 9pm till 12am something" walk.
I didn't take my camera or phone with me because it will be dangling in my pocket, therefore no pictures are taken =(

Here's the route that we took :
On our way there :
Ujong Pasir - Melaka Raya - Kota Laksamana - Tangkera - Klebang.

And that's when we visited Lara and Charmain. Which we stayed for awhile and chatted and being assumed by them that we're not right in the head.
Thanks for the water anyways, Lara. Really saved our lives =)

On our way back :
Klebang - Tangkera - Jonker Street - Dataran Pahlawan - Bandar Hilir - My Home

All together we walked/jogged around 10 km.
And that's how I started my first day of holiday.
Here I'm blogging before going to Prefect Convention.

I'm in for a great week ahead!
And I promise I'll blog more often.

Pre-Prefect Convention

2009-03-09T05:37:00.000-07:00

Prefect camp is in less than one week.
It's hard to believe that we planned this whole thing last year, which feels like yesterday.
Last Friday, a whole bunch of Form 5 committees checked out the place.
The campsite is in Tanjung Bidara Beach Resort, Klebang Besar. Since I'm in charge of the accomodation, I need to take pictures of the rooms and the facilities, but turned out I took more pictures that are not related to what I'm supposed to do.
The hardcore cyclist Jonah See cycled all the way from our school to Tanjung Bidara. Leroy Yeow and his ever so famous "talk to the hand" pose. Trapped between walls (the position looks wrong, I know). A punk prefect convict. I come in peace. After that, we went to the beach to film some nonsense explaination of rules and regulations videos, just in case the juniors can't read. But everything can't be revealed yet.
While they're busy with their filming, I took some pictures there.
These are the awesome friends that I know. Emo at its best state. Just chilling. The cause of nature.Yeah I have strong affections for trees, beaches and sun.

A View Not To Be Missed

2009-03-01T06:23:00.000-08:00

This is gonna be a long post with a lot of pictures. Please do wait for them to upload because its worth it =)
On Sunday evening, my dad and I decided to go for a jog at a failed project island called Twin City Island (direct translation from Chinese).
It's quite near from Harbour Club. Which is quite near from my house too.
Since it's a sunny day, I figured why not bring along my camera to take some pictures. My buddy, Jameson, tagged along too.
Actually this island has a lot of halfway built buildings, probably because the government lacked financial... stuff. Well let the pictures do most of the talking because my language sucks big time.The only place that's active there is the mosque. And the growing trees there. And a bald looking tree standing alone. Self-acclaimed professional looking pictures. Then I thought of the movie Yes Man, so I jogged and took some pictures.
They're quite cool and the pictures are surprisingly not blur at all.This is like creating art out of both running and taking pictures.And I've also created art on my leg out of clumsily running into sharp branches.Here are some pictures of us doing weird poses. The You-Know-Who pose. Art of balancing life.Secretly taking drugs... I-don't-know-what-pose-is-this pose. You wouldn't want to know what I was trying to do.Drop dead tired.The Twin City Island is also pretty near The Jetty, Eye On Melacca, and some random hotels.A lamp post which the light source is not from the lamp itself. Not long after that, it was sunset and the views were really breathtaking. Enjoying the view and temporarily forgetting all the downs of life. This is my favourite picture. Can you believe that this view is actually caused by the sunset?
It looks like some buildings found from Golden City.
I messed around with my camera, and this is the result of "sunset" portrait setting. Looks like world disaster in some way.
Too bad the view only last for less than 1 minute =(
The Melacca River.
This was after the sunset.
Which was before a heavy rain pour.So, this was how I started the 1st day of March. That's it for now.
And always remember,
Think big, and you will shine out from the others =)

School's Cool

2009-02-22T01:55:00.000-08:00

I should be studying for monthly test now.
I really should.
But procrastination always overwhelm me.
So decided to post something up for the sake of posting.

These are just some pictures I took with my camera in school.
The people I sit with in my class. A head instead of frog for dissection, and the aftermath. There are a lot more pictures of us dissecting frogs, but it's not really suitable to post it here.
This is Noel, trying to eat the fish raw. The lesson I learned about life is that it is more interesting with different colours.

Babies Are Meant For Rock & Roll

2009-02-17T04:00:00.000-08:00

Something I find interesting in my music centre. A rocker baby! (Notice the left hand sign)

Who Says Kampong Is A Boring Place

2009-02-08T07:26:00.000-08:00

I took these picture at my grandma's house in Jasin a few weeks back, just wanna share them.
Her house is quite big and it doesn't cost a lot because its in a kampong.
There's a spacious area outside the house which is like a storage place (room would sound wrong).
I never really paid attention to it before but found something interesting when I did.

Check out these really old vintage scooters. A rodeo hat. And a long pipe as lasso. This is located outside the house and its a cool place for chilling out and playing guitar while enjoy pollution-free breeze. My grandma has a lot of self made chairs which I got the crazy idea of coloured guitar strings.Plants without any pesticides, found only in kampongs. When its raining heavily, sometimes you can see chickens sheltering outside the house.And always remember to both start and end your day with a smile.

Sins & Confessions

2009-02-03T05:35:00.000-08:00

People said that sinning is wrong,
but confessing your sins is a noble thing to do.

What if you're doing both at the same time?

Welcome The New Year Again

2009-01-25T03:00:00.000-08:00

This is why I love Chinese New Year celebration! Hope you guys have a great time during these days too!
F.Y.I : FYI means For Your Information.

TIck Tock Tick Tock

2009-01-20T07:02:00.000-08:00

It's around 2 weeks since school started and has been hectic since the first day.
My blog has not been visited by me for so long that it starts to have cobwebs on it.
Cobwebs on website.
Haha, get it?

Okay fine its not funny at all. Just some specs of both me and my dad's scattering on the table, from young to elder (or golden age, as said by many people).

I have no idea when will I update again.
It is sometimes strange that time learnt how to fly before it even walks.

A Sea Of Seriousness

2009-01-09T07:36:00.000-08:00

This is only half the students in my tuition class. All cramped into one small room.
People are getting serious this year and I'm still being =D all the time.

Hello, 2009!

2009-01-03T08:12:00.000-08:00

Sorry I can't think of any good title for this post...

Looks like I'm still not over the holiday mood.
Although school's starting very soon.
I don't think I'll be updating my blog that often after school starts. (Already I'm not updating very often)

Here are some pictures of my New Year celebration in KL, courtesy of Lara.
On New Year's Eve we went to The Curve, had no clue on where to go to. Melaccans will always be Melaccans...
Then we arrived at some concert going on near The Curve. Err we were kinda hyped... After the clock strikes 12, we wished at almost everyone that passed by the mansion. I mean house.
Here we are pretending its snowing in Malaysia and was really fascinated by it.After midnight swimming and less than 4 hours of sleep, the next day we went to Bentley Music!
But it was closed due to New Year holiday.
Instead, we saw some big posters of Bentley Music outside it.
They really know how to disappoint people.We're still getting all melancholic about Bentley after that. And that's when we went to a music shop called BeatSpot.
Also, that's when Kingsley found his love at first beat on a Djembe.

Here are some pictures of us before we leave KL.
Camp UNO 2008/2009 class portrait. From left to right : Charmain Sim, Jack Lim, Kingsley Tan, Lara Sim, Magdalene Tan. I believe you all know what pose is this. I know, I looked exceptionally weird being the only one with short brown pants.Again, Happy New Year and all the best in 2009!

A New Beginning

2009-01-01T05:56:00.001-08:00

Hey, stranger!
As you can see, I welcomed you in my life with an awesome way.
When I thought I will again be in Melacca like I used to welcome your brothers, this time I was at KL, stayed in a big house, which feels like a mansion to me, and its full of strangers which later turned friends. We partied, jammed, danced and wished passing pedestrians by kept on shouting and screaming.
Which explains my James Morrison voice now.
Since the house was a walking distance to The Curve, we can see the "amazing, never seen before, never will think that Melacca's fireworks are pretty good" fireworks very clearly. It was so awesome that I didn't even bother to take many pictures of it so that I will not miss some of the fireworks. Since I celebrated your existance with a surprising way which I didn't even expect, I know this year will be a better year full with surprises.
A new year is like a new day, it means a new start. Hello, 2009!

Just Wondering

2008-12-28T08:25:00.000-08:00

why don't people make coloured guitar strings? Its not really realistic but its kinda cool.
Guitar strings would somehow look good if they're in black or blue.
Or for some people, pink.

ChristMas

2008-12-24T21:20:00.000-08:00

This is the only grandest Christmas tree can be found in Melacca. Merry Christmas everyone.
Sorry there's nothing worth reading in my blog recently.
I've been really busy being lazy.

Dream To Sleep

2008-12-14T10:04:00.000-08:00

Life is a series of unwritten philosophies.
Here I am quoting something that seems profound but actually holds no meaning.

Its 2.30 am now to be exact and no matter how sleepy I am, I can't sleep yet.
My mom will be awaiting outside the door pretty soon because she doesn't have keys so I have to open the door for her.
She's finally back from China after having so much fun and dumping my grandma and I in the house like we're in one of the Survivor series.
So, here I am, tired and sleepy, waiting for my mother.
If I don't get any gifts,
I'll sign her up for Fear Factor.

Seclusion

2008-12-10T00:18:00.001-08:00

Its been a few days since my mother went on a holiday trip to China with her friends.
And a few weeks since my father went to Cambodia in the name of business.
While my brothers are working strenuously in the big city Kuala Lumpur.

Now its only my grandma and I in the house. Making it seem so empty and silence all the time.Sometimes she cooks, sometimes I'll walk to nearby restaurants to buy lunch or dinner for the 2 of us, hoping that it will loosen her burden.
Because she's always the one doing house chores, while I'm practicing music.

I've spend more time in front of my piano, at times a violin clamped between my shoulder and chin,and sometimes half-hugging my guitar.The time spent on reading books, story books, not text books, have been unknowingly extended too.On the sofa, its either my grandma watching Chinese dramas, or me watching random stuff, its just another reason for me to make the house seem less vacant.The usual shouting and noises made by my mother and grandma has decreased to nothing, there's no more complaining from me and wondering how much worse it could be if I have a sister.
Sometimes I'll stay till pass midnight, sounds can only be heard from soothing music and my grandma's deep snoring... (?)

When I'm doing almost nothing I'll think about another part of me,
my family.

P.S : This is not an emo post.
P.P.S : I repeat, it is not.
P.P.P.S : Also, this is not a suicide note, obituary or whatsoever.
P.P.P.P.S : I've finally know how to use P.S.

Indolence

2008-12-07T09:47:00.000-08:00

Enough said. Its time for me to get serious and be hardworking instead.

After I take a nap and watch a good movie with snacks of course.

Boys And Girls

2008-11-28T07:55:00.000-08:00

This is one big irony between boys and girls.
Boys who look like girls are called Pretty Boys. And the girls think they are hot. Just a random picture found from the internet.

But, girls who look like boys are called Quasimodo.
And the boys don't think that they are hot at all.

No I will not post any picture of them because this will make people afraid to view my blog.

1 Year Anniversary Of My Working Days

2008-11-23T21:09:00.000-08:00

So in UNO Camp we did a lot of stupid stuff... Wait, this post is not about Radiance's dog breakdancing.
Anyways, when I was 1st introduced to DoReMi Music Centre, I thought it was a kiddy playground due to its name.
Since my teacher told me that teaching is also another form of learning because you'll gain experience, I've decided to become a music teacher.
And the plus side is, I'll get extra cash.
So the next time when I want to buy something I won't beg from my parents.
Begging is hard life. So beggars are to be respected, people.

It was before Christmas when I signed up for teaching. And it didn't start off well. My 1st 2 students were... Should I say, special. One was a very quiet 4 years old Malay girl, who can hardly understand me because my Malay language sucks so badly.
Another one was a 40 something Chinese uncle, for don't know what reason he wanted to learn piano. But as the days passed by, the amount of my students were getting bigger and better.
And yes, those 2 "odd" students stopped their classes, after that, no other students stop theirs.
And no, I did not threaten my students to continue their classes or else bla bla bla.
I'm pretty happy with my life as a part time teacher now, but the bad side is I can't hang out at the mall on weekends.
This is the room that I always use to teach students. Notice the Snoopy clock and the small chairs, it is a kiddy place after all.
And this is the piano that I always play when I'm waiting for my students. You always can stare at the internal part of the piano when you're bored or something. Yeah, this post has a lot of Christmas stuff because I'm really looking forward for Christmas.

Aberration In A Meal

2008-11-21T05:56:00.001-08:00

This is the reason why I love western meals,especially eating at Wok & Pan.
A hot green tea - RM1.50.
A French fries - probably cost less than RM0.10.
But when you add them together - Priceless. P.S : If Lara, by any chance, reading this, I can become a fortune teller ady. =P
Another P.S : I still have the after-UNO-Camp-I-miss-it-so-much-and-I-hope-it-last-longer syndrome.
P.S again : What does P.S stand for?

My Plans During The Holiday

2008-11-15T06:04:00.000-08:00

This is gonna be a long, boring post without any pictures in it.
If you can manage to read all of it, you are really a good reader.
The torturing days of school had come to an end.
And there's no point doing nothing at all during the holidays.
After a long time staring at walls, I've made my plans for this holidays, and here goes the list.

1. Study
When we thought we can relax in the holidays, the principal gave a disappointing advice,
"Study hard during the holidays, not just playing."
Since being smart is sexy, I've decided to TRY to study.
Although we've been constantly reminded that we must study since we are still in our mothers' wombs, studying is still a stranger to me.
And I need to pass, and hopefully get good marks, in my SPM.

2. Music
Which will most probably decide my future, I gotta practice till perfection 10 songs/pieces for both modern and classical music.
But I won't list out cus I don't think most of the classical pieces will interest you or whatsoever.
Heck, I don't think this post even interest you.

3. Exercise
I'm not hardcore about going to the gym because I still wanna grow tall.
I might be quite tall as the girls here said, it just plain means that you girls gotta start drinking 1000000000000 gallons of milk. Per day.
In Europe countries, I'm a head or one and a half shorter than most of them.
Instead, I'm talking about light exercise and a lot of jogging/running because I really enjoy them.
My goal is to run 2 whole rounds of Bukit Cina without stopping or even a slight slowing down.
And not taking the shortcuts. I think that sums up about 4-5 km.

4.Cooking
This is embarrassing, but I don't even know how to cook an egg.
I've always enjoy eating good food, but cooking is another level because you get to enjoy your own cooking.
My aim is to, at least, cook a nice dish of fried rice.

So, that's basically what I'd like to do but not sure whether I have the enthusiasm or not.
Stay tune for my progress!

P.S : I actually don't mean it about you being a good reader if you finish reading this post.
It just simply means that you are too free.

Leadership Camp

2008-11-09T05:16:00.000-08:00

In the last 2 days I've been at Leadership Camp at Auyin Hill, Ayer Keroh. Which felt like we traveled through time to Ching Dynasty.
Throughout the whole camp we'd been really crazy.
Climbing high walls, using a thick rope to jump from one place to the other and somewhat like 50 people cramped into a nature pool.
We ended up learning nothing about leadership.

And from what I heard, 3 guys had polygamy marriage that day. The traditional way.
Forgive my retarded pose, its really cramming.
And the heck it looks like I have small man boobs.

Dinner At Holiday Inn

2008-11-04T05:11:00.000-08:00

It was the day that I just got my salary. So I'm pretty happy and decided to eat at somewhere luxurious.
I brought my mother with me.
I didn't bring my father along because he went to Singapore. So I'm not an unfilial son.
But if he's here I won't take him too because he doesn't like western food.
My point is I'm a pretty damn cheapskate.

Anyways I heard the food at Holiday Inn are great. Its a 5 star hotel duh...
The design at Holiday Inn is quite impressive. They have this light which keeps changing its colour.
From pink, to yellow, and to green.
Then we saw this place called Sirocco Bar. They have quite many different types of beer there. And a coffeemaker which is most likely they stole it from Starbucks. When I thought that was a lot of beer, I saw this small room which have a wide collection of beer. As in a lot. They even have pole for the beers for... Beer Pole-Dancing. Then we saw a place where they sell dessert. They were selling half price for everything that time so its my lucky day. I bought 2 cakes and 2 Quiches.
After awhile of exploring my mom complained she was getting really hungry.
Or that was me.
So we headed to the real thing.
Notice that no smoking sign - A sign of high class. Notice the design - A sign of high class. Notice the weird food names - A sign of high class. And the expensive prices - A sign of high class.
This is the arrangement of the tables. Two weird sticks that looked like dildos so that you can do something while waiting for the food. They also have this classic pizza oven. After ordering the food, 1st up they served us something that we didn't order.
A hard wholemeal bread with weird sauces. And an advanced version of potato wedges. The green thing you see is not wasabi. Its some kind of grind green pea.
And the good thing is they didn't charge us for the bread and potato wedges. =)
I think the best dish is the appetizer.
It is called Prawn Kataifi. I don't know how they made the prawn, it is covered with some crunchy thing. It really taste good and even better when dipped in mayonaise. But the salad besides the prawns didn't really taste good.
After that they served Spaghetti Aragusta.
I don't really like this dish because it tasted a bit sour and salty. But the lobsters with the spaghetti sauce is really good. Notice the black and red small thing at the edge of the dish.
Its not raspberry or anything sweet. It is something very salty. I ate it all and had to drink a whole cup of water.
And the last one called Calzone Pizza. No its not a giant karipap. Inside is stuffed with beef pepperoni, chicken ham, herbs and mushroom. And the dessert was Strawberry Merquise. It looks good but it didn't really taste good.
I prefer the Tiramisu that I brought back.In conclusion, next time when you see a karipap - A sign of high class.

LCC's Awesome!

2008-11-01T05:00:00.000-07:00

I didn't go to LCC actually.
In case you don't know why, I didn't have social phobia.
More on Bengs phobia perhaps.
Cus usually a lot of amateur Ah Bengs and Ah Lians go for LCC.
Hey, I'm not saying everyone of course.

I had dinner with my family instead. My brothers came down all the way from KL so I couldn't just absent for the dinner cus of a concert.
Besides we ate at Wok & Pan. Awesome food there.

After that, we went to Geographer Cafe. There's something about that place that made me coming back for more. I think its because of the atmosphere there. Many people of all races will go there like a big family.
No matter if you're black, white, yellow, brown, blue, purple or green.
Maybe not green cus Shrek hates crowd and will kill everyone there.
Wtf.

Another thing awesome about that place is the music there of course. It's really enjoyed by everyone and people danced to the music too. And another thing is this guy we saw that night. He's awesome. We went back around 12 am. When I get to see the empty roads of Melacca. By the way, from what I heard, LCC there had a 2 hours blackout.
And people eventually left as the event progressed because the concert wasn't up to good expectation. Seriously?

Dolls Disaster

Someone must be bored. Really bored.

I Think What I Thought & I Thought What I Think

2008-10-27T10:50:00.000-07:00

Tonight I have been doing a lot of thinking.
What would my future holds?
What is the actual meaning of living?
What are the mistakes that I really regret doing?

Is it true that people really care about the inside instead of the outside?
Not even one bit on the outside?
Or is it something that fugly people made it up to comfort themselves?
Okay that was completely pointless.

The real question is,
Why would God make people ugly in the 1st place?!
Some people might say its destiny.
Some say it is a challenge given by God.
Some actual people with common sense would say God is making fun out of people. (wtf?)

What about the ugly side (on the inside this time) of people?
When is people gonna stop being racist?
When is drugs, cocaine and cigarettes health crisis gonna end?
Now even guys gossip, what the heck happened to the male popularity?
And girls are willing to do anything just to get famous (most of them). What for?

I know you girls must be mad of what I said just now but what I said is based on facts, not just plain accusing. =)

Teenagers nowadays are having their own communities.
The categories are : Jocks, Emos, Nerds, The Good Lookings, The Fuglies, Bitchy Bitches, Actual Good Girls (which is very rare, like 0.12%) and,
POO GAS community - People whO dOn't Give A Shit.
Adults always believe that teenagers are the future of the country and a better world.
But that has became something that only people will say 20 years back.

God is true because the Bible says God is true.
and,
The Bible is true because the Bible says the Bible is true.

Err, that was completely random.

It is now 2.40 a.m. and I'm still thinking about......
something that leads to nothing.

Lost In Expression

2008-10-25T09:23:00.001-07:00

This is just a random post about expressing yourself.
Today I was watching the tv and there's a show called She's Got The Look. It is a model search reality show consists of many MILFs and GILFs (find out yourself for the meaning).
It is more of a confidence reality show.
Anyways there was a time when they are asked to express themselves and one of them said "I grow up in a religion where your beauty have to be kept instead of be shown, and when someone gives you a compliment of being beautiful, you cannot even be proud of it."

I think you already know what religion is that. But I'm not gonna say it out (ISA's getting pretty big in Malaysia!)

Its pretty sad when people can't express how they feel most of the time.
It is usually because of self-confidence, low self esteem, language difficulties, being a nerd, when you try to be others, posers and especially when Ah Lians and Ah Bengs try to speak in English.But expressing yourself too much can be a bad thing.
When people give mean comments about others just for the sake of expressing themselves, they are called haters.And watching such tv show does not mean that you're gay.

Exams Exams Exasperation

2008-10-23T08:57:00.000-07:00

These days had been rough days for me as the devil inside me tells me not to study before exam and enjoy.
Even the angelic side of me (what the hell sounds so gay) decided not to persuade me. So basically I'm screwed. But holidays' coming soon and I feel like going KL.
Because I get to enjoy going places and eating expensive meals and not paying a single cent because my brother's paying for me.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA if he reads this I'm so dead wtf I sound like I'm rushing without the fullstops wtf what am I actually talking about.

So I'll be making a plan for myself this upcoming holidays.
I don't really need academics result when I finish my Form 5 but who knows maybe people will think of me as a smart and good boy.
Hahahaha.
Okay that was lame.

Puzzle Box

2008-10-18T06:42:00.001-07:00

Today I was at my music centre. And i found this small little cube that attracted my attention.
It was a cartoony Rubik's Cube.
Since I was bored so I played with it for awhile.
Little do I know that I got addicted to it.
And its really hard to get all the pieces right. Since buying it will be a waste of money, it has become a good reason for me to go to my music centre.

Nadéje Patisserie

2008-10-10T20:48:00.000-07:00

Warning : Don't read this post if you're in a hungry state or you're craving for dessert or this will cause you to be really jealous and hence, you'll become retarded.

Yesterday was my grandma's birthday, and my elder brother bought something which is really damn expensive but yet its the best and unique cake you can get in Melacca, Nadéje Cakes. I'm not sure if places other than Melacca have this cafe though.Its so unique that I don't even know how to pronounce the name. I'll let the pictures do most of the talking. This is the signature Mille Crepe.It looks like a high class version of layer cakes, consists of something that looks like 1000000 thin layers of cakes with cream between them.I was eating Chicken Cordon Bleu on the back there. My brother also bought slices of different cakes other than Mille Crepe.Chocolate and Coffee flavour, although it reminds me of something not that pleasant...
But it sure taste good.....
I'm talking about the cakes.and also Wildberries and Cheese Damn, this post makes me hungry....

Best Cereal Ever

2008-10-08T08:00:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I was feeling hungry, and I stumbled across this box when I open the cupboard. Its a box with unidentified Chinese writings printed on the cover. Inside contains small packages of wheat cereal inside. It has a fine creamy, milky texture aroma on it. I really wanted to open it but I saw this. Wait a minute... Milky aroma... Made in China...
Then I read the ingredient list on the back of the cover. In case you can't read, that says milk powder. Wait, if you can't read you won't be reading this article...

As you know the milk and melamine case has killed quite a number of children in China,
and this news has been going mad around the world,
some emo people read the news and thought that life sucks then they kill themselves,
and some other emo people are reading this article, feel that life sucks and kill themselves too.... What the hell am I talking about?

Anyways I told my father about this cereal thing. So it ended up inside somewhere better. The Moral of the story is : No wonder people call cheap and invaluable stuffs as "Made in China".
And emo kills.

Schooling Syndrome

2008-10-05T07:31:00.000-07:00

Hari Raya holidays passed by so fast.
And schooling days is something that everyone will hate and like at the same time.
Mostly will just hate.
As I'm a frigging prefect, I have to wake up damn early, which is 6 o'clock.
And between 6.00 till 6.30 is the period where I wake up,
sleep again,
and the normal alarm clock, my mom, will wake me up,
then I'll sleep again.
And I ended up doing prefect duty in a state of... death. The main thing that people will like going to school is sleeping in class. I don't know why but you'll experience a great sleeping sensation.

Study Season

2008-10-03T07:58:00.000-07:00

I don't know about you guys, but this week has been the most unproductive week of my life. Whenever I pick up a book, its like there's a barrier avoiding me to study.
It has sort of became a taboo.
I don't need it in the future but I need to at least pass SPM. All hope is lost for me...

But on the bright side, I've found out that it has been somewhat 3 days since I started this blog, and I've got 100+ visits. Yeah!

Bentley Music

2008-10-01T20:19:00.000-07:00

This place is a must visit when you're in KL if you're a musicomania.
Bentley Music is located in Courts Megastore. Pretty near The Curve. When you visit music stores in Melacca, you'll probably stay there for 5-15 minutes cus the size of the music store resembles your anus.
Its the closest thing that I can relate to.
Anyways Bentley Music is like gargantuan colassally gigantesquely gigantic among the race of gigantism. You get the point. Since the most common and most-played instrument in the world is guitar, so, basically the Bentley is full of guitarseses. And this awesome electric drum kit. There are alot of rooms for different instruments. So I checked out the violin room first. They don't have a wide collection of violins. But the price is really something that will encourage and convince people to play violin. Very... Encouraging.
And of course, being a piano geek I decided to check out the pianos. It turns out they have grand pianos! This is the most gorgeous Steinway & Sons grand piano there. And the most gorgeous price there. This is the structure for a key among 88 keys. Complex enough. Band props for band geeks. And the drum room is quite amusing. My brother messing with the stereo system. And some of the uniquely designed guitars. Silver Surfer plays guitar too.A heed of warning though : You'll have instrument-gasm if you stay too long in this place.

More Than Just A Soup

2008-09-30T00:17:00.000-07:00

My brother took this picture in Indonesia. And it clearly states everything. Ass soup, anyone?

Also, I've found out that "maaf Zahir dan Batin" means forgive physical and emotional mistakes.
Last time I thought Zahir and Batin are the Islam version of Adam and Eve...

Facts About TV

2008-09-29T21:42:00.000-07:00

Do you know that a television projects approximately 20 images per second?
But our naked eyes can't detect such thing. Or else watching television would suck big time.
But a camera can catch it. That's why you get all those black lines covering it. Yes, I was watching Tely Tubbies. At least its educational and better than cheesy Hong Kong dramas.

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.

2008-09-29T10:30:00.001-07:00

Its been quite awhile since my trip to KL by myself to meet my brothers. And a really great restaurant they brought me to was Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Restaurant. It's a restaurant made based on a movie called Forrest Gump. If you have not watched the movie, you seriously lived in a cave.
The place was located in The Street. Right outside The Curve, Damansara. They even have a little souvenir shop right beside the restaurant.And outside the restaurant there's a bench with a baggage, ragged shoes and a box of chocolate : the place where Forrest Gump was telling his tale, while waiting for the bus. They have a lot of classic decorations and quotes from the movie.Even my name's on the plate.Er... You're gonna get... chocolates? What else?And some of the quotes I'm just too stupid to understand.What special about the place was the small signboards that reads,Which the waiter wouldn't care about you even if you're frustrated why the waiter wouldn't take your order, or even if you're dying.Flip to this sign and the waiter would come to you like The Flash and ask you politely what you want. I'm not exaggerating, one of them would really come to you in Supersonic speed. Trust me, I've tried.
Our table were also nicely decorated with lots of things. They have some signature beverages and dishes printed on a ping pong bat as menu. And a bucket to put chili sauce, toilet paper (I don't know what for) and God knows what. I forgot to take pictures of the beverages as I was feeling ecstastic after drinking it.
This was my eldest brother's dish. Chicken Chop (I forgot the confusing names of all the dishes). If you're wondering, yes, its newspaper on the bottom as plate. On the newspaper were all the important events in the movie.
And no, the quality of the paper is not those usual newspaper quality. If its like that the chicken chop and fries would stain with black ink.
My brother's lady's dish was a massive Fish N' Chip with a giant dil.... I mean corn. My elder brother's one was Salmon with dunno what sauce and shrimps. It tasted really tender and delicate. Mine was Beef Steak. It was really filling. And of course, the restaurant's famous for its shrimps. So we ordered Shrimper's Heaven. You'll really feel like you're in heaven after eating it. There were 4 different flavours consist of coconut slices, raw, Tempura and butter. Unexpectedly, the raw ones taste really good with the sauces.Its hard not to resist "a happy face with stomach bloated with food" expression. You'll only get that in Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.

I'm Naked

2008-09-29T09:15:00.000-07:00

Not me though. Its the piano in my music centre.
The people there strip it open and cleaned it up because cockroaches lay eggs in it and out comes a natural scent that you would literally die of suffocation because of it.

A Brand New Blog

2008-09-29T09:03:00.000-07:00

As some of you might know, I had a blog before.
But now I'm starting a new one because I don't frequently update in my last blog.
And as time goes by, I've changed a lot I guess.
To being a better person or more retarded, I'm not sure.

So this blog would be a simple one.
And when I don't have time to update or babble about happenings,
I'll put Picture Of The Day and a little bit of description.

Why do I blog?
Because its a form of expression and creativity.
You wouldn't want to tell people the same thing over again when they ask you "Hey how's your day?"

Why my blog title is "Jack Does Blog?"
Because when people don't know that I blog, they would be like :
"Jack does blog meh?"

Yes, Jack does blog.
