Today is the first day of school for all primary, secondary school and probably some colleges and universities. Today is also the day where my friends departed for national service. They will stay there for 3 months but in between there will be some holidays for them. It was unfortunate for them to be chosen to NS but it's their fate. If we change our perspective, going NS can be fun and enjoyable. Some part of me myself are envious as those going to NS will be engaged in many activities which make their life in these few months more meaningful. I, on the other hand, have nothing to do in this 3 month holidays. I was not chosen to NS nor do I choose to work. Well, not precisely "nothing" as I still need to take my driving lessons. I took my 'undang' trial and real exam today. My exam result surprised me as I did not finish reading the 500-questions in the book given. Some common sense, thinking and luck allowed me pass my exam smoothly. I got 46 out of 50 questions. Not bad at all! (give myself a pat on my back :D)

4th of January indicates the start of a new life in a new year for everyone which is a student. I will be going to school to retrieve my certs and approve some copies of my certs. Happy schooling to all students in Malaysia!

Well, time sure flies. Today will be the last day before my final paper of SPM and of course it will also be the last paper for most of my Chinese friends. After tomorrow, we will be totally freed from this exam!! Maybe some people think finishing SPM will be the time for enjoying ourselves but I think it differently. If you change your perspective, you just might find being a bookworm is better than being a couch potato. Okay okay... maybe some entertainment is a "must" but 3 months of holidays really requires some planning so that it will be utilized fully. Before that, I still have many square-grid-words to read and write. I hate to write these words despite I learned them since I was small. It drains my energy like it's drinking water but still... being a pure one is better than a ''banana'' :D (no offence cause I am talking about those that learned Chinese since primary school but gave up on it in SPM)

Well, Chinese paper's format had just changed this year to a harder version. So, I will just hope that it will be easier than trial paper and I wish every Chinese in Malaysia good luck in taking Chinese papers!! JYJY! One more day... XP

Today, my school held a chemistry answering technique session and I felt lucky that I went to school as I learned a lot of useful techniques to be used even though some of them looked minor but it is necessary for me to get my targeted A+!! Also at the same day, I got news from my chemistry teacher, Pn. Zalina regarding the K3M (Kuiz Kimia Kebangsaan) and I was told that I got a MERIT for it!! I was one of the four students that get merit and distinctions. Unfortunately, my teacher told me that the certificate that the PPD sent to my school had my name typed wrongly. My name was typed as "Tan Key Ang"!! GRRRR!! Such simple mistake but it is enough to make the cert become a piece of priceless paper to me!! So, my teacher had already called the secretory-in-charge to retype a new certificate for me... Hopefully it can be done so that I can get my cert before I end my secondary school life. Anyway, I felt happy cause I did not read the last two chapter of Form 5 and still managed to score well :D

SPM is 6 days from now... JYJY!!

Today, I went to school as usual even though most of my friends decided to not to go to school. At first, I thought it would be a good chance to study at school as there would not be any distractions in my class but I was wrong again!! When me, Ho and Gan reached the school, Ho told Vikhna the phone call that Gan had with the "so-called-girlfriend", Jeanette Seah from the winning team of the RHB Star Mighty Minds Challenge. Then, we laughed and that was not all. Just before the assembly start, Gan's cell phone rang. He put his cell phone in his bag while he walked towards the library. Ho and I heard the ring tone and called Gan to answer the call. As expected from our clever Ho, the call was from Jeanette. He quickly ran to the assembly and spread the news. As the day proceeded, Gan received another two or so phone calls from Jeanette which made us laughed until stomachache. Ho was jealous of Gan's early meeting with his "girlfriend" and nagged around about this impossible event. Finally, Vikhna checked his cell phone and found out the relationship was still not yet fully developed and every thing will be crystal clear after SPM ~.~

8 more days to SPM!! JYJY!!

SPM is just around the corner!! 2 more weeks in not enough for me: still got half of Biology, two Sejarah text books...(list continued)... Still if I can stay away from the attraction of my computer, I can manage to finish it. If only I could T.T... Every time I go online, I will forget the time. One hour... two hours... three hours... four hours... "OH!! I online for four hours already!?" That's what happen if I think "Aiya, just on for 15 minutes to check mail, facebook and blog only. It won't take me that long..." Grrr... so angry with myself. From now on, have to stay away from my computer. Befriend books!! :)

Not much interesting event happened in school lately. The only thing that was very obvious was the number of students going to school is decreasing... Today, I learned a few english idioms in school when I joined with my friends to chat about idioms :D Thats all for now, I won't be updating my blog very often but will continue to be active after my SPM.

Good luck for all 2009 SPM candidates. Let us burn the midnight oil together!!
(P.S. no fire please!! XP)

I had not updated my blog for a long time as I was very busy studying and also partly lazy...

Today is a free day for me and my friends because we did not take art in SPM except 2 of my friends. Despite that, I still go to school for attendance and to study with only a few of my friends: Ho, Emerlyn, Elaine, Wong and of course those who took art... When I reached the school, every thing seemed OK... At about 9 a.m., Mr. Ganesan walked in and asked us to find the monitors to take the koko form at his office and to gather all 5 Science 1 students in the class for briefing... He went in our class twice and found out most of the students, especially Indians were chit-chatting at other class and he grew mad... After recess, he went in again and this time he was so furious that he gathered all of us and scolded us. His briefing was not short after at all... He scolded us for not studying when we did not have any exams even though I was studying, scolded us for not looking at the koko matter seriously and as usual stressed the importance of koko and so on....

Our class teacher, Pn. Moga did not seemed happy also. When Teck Li slipped off when talking to her, she stated his fault which we deeply regretted... but that was not the real reason she was unhappy, at least not what we all and some Indians thought... Sharrvind suggested she was scolded by Mr. Ganesan for our bad attitude and I think that was part of the reason...

By the way, Pn. Thana, our Biology teacher was back today!! She looked like she grew "bigger" >.< but that is normal for one who had just gave birth... She just got our Biology paper 2 from Pn. Sabariah, the one supposed to mark our paper... So, we did not get our Bio marks today...

By the way, that was all that happened in school today. There was unexpected events that happened but I managed to finish reading up part of my KC (chinese literature) text book...

Trial is 2 more days to go before finishing. Wish me luck on Thursday for my KC! @.@

Today, our school organized Hari Anugerah 2009. It started at 2.00pm with the arrival of YAB Datuk Wee Ka Siong as the 'perasmi' of that ceremony. There were a series of performaces arranged by the committee members of the ceremony such as robot show, choir, 'silat' and others. I was not involved in any of the performances, so it was quite boring to wait for my turn to get the certificates and trofies. While waiting for my turn, I saw the last year form 5 students came for their parts. It was a tiring day and I felt very tired after that ceremony. After the ceremony finished, me and my friends ate 'bihun goreng' and 'karipap' that were supposed to be the invited guests meal ^.^

Happy Hari Anugerah for all MES students!!

Last Saturday, I went to school with my friends for a physics session held by my physics teacher. We was quite late when we reached there, but we managed to get our discussion on the National Physics Competition questions. The questions was very hard and requires thinking. Also on that day, the teachers were holding a coupon recounting session because they found out there were about 1121 fake coupons collected during the last canteen day! We should've been given warning on fake coupons before canteen day... now only the teachers realize the fake coupons, its too late to prevent loss which is quite a large amount there: Rm1121/2 because the society needs to pay for the other half... Many KRS future-to-be leader was also there to decorate the KRS Board. It was not very nice, but not too bad also (ours was much nicer even though we did it on the last minute >.<). The physics class ended at 12.30 noon. We was tired after doing all the past year questions and we went to a cafe nearby to have our lunch. Hopefully that's not the reason I am sick today!! @.@Vote for your favorite board now!

Yesterday was my school canteen day. I went to school early with my friends to prepare the stall which we will use to sell ice-creams. Our stall was named "Snowy Delight" and we managed to figure out a variety of ice-creams which tasted good, looked good and cheap in ingredient costs the day before canteen day. After setting up the stall, we waited for other students to come and buy our ice-creams. There were little students that passed by and stopped at our stall to buy ice-creams since it was still early in the morning. As the time passed by, more and more students started buying and we got really busy working. I only managed to get some time off the stall to go around and see whats happening in the school. I also helped the tennis club which were organizing some indoor games. Many students played their games since the grand prize is worth RM10. It was indeed a tiring day and we had our lunch at KFC to celebrate our success!

Last Saturday was our school's co-curriculum day, but it was more than that to me and all the form 5 krs members: it was the last day for us to have krs activity. Before that day, we all have high hopes and expectations. We wanted to have fun and enjoy our last time together as krs member but it turned out to be a disaster. The future-to-be leaders for krs were all very ego, disrespectful and messy. They thought they can control all the seniors once their ranks were higher than us. But there is one thing that they do not know: we are the ones who brought them up form zero to hero. We only wanted to enjoy the day for once and for all and only that but they had destroyed our hopes. We were disappointed for their performance on that day. I sincerely hope they can change their habit and behavior...

Do not let this be the downfall of KRS!!!

Last week, our school team had sent a choir team for state level competition. It consist of 35 students including me (if I am not mistaken) and we went for the competition for 2 days, which were Tuesday and Wednesday at Grik, Perak. It was a terrible and unforgetable experience for me, especially the vast amount of mosquitoes that had a "grandeur fiesta" the moment we stepped out of the bus!!! On the next day, we set out with confidence. We had high hopes of getting top three. Unfortunately, we lose the competition due to anxiety and sudden stage fright of all choir member...

It had been one and a half week of holidays. I had spent my holidays by enjoying it even though I did not exactly enjoyed it (because I liked to online)... I had only ate, slept, watched TVs and done little readings. I spent even lesser time on-lining because my computer had problems and I am lazy to fix it... At least that's quite an achivement for myself (does those things counted as achievements? =.="). There's one thing that I always feel strange: when it is not holidays, we hoped holidays will come soon; when it is holidays, we hoped school reopens earlier. I don't know whether it's only me or it's human nature... Haiz, I need to start doing homework that need to be passed up when school reopens. Let us gambateh!!

Enjoy the holidays when you can...^.^

Mid-year exam is finally over!!! I was relieved when our teacher said "Masa untuk menjawab sudah tamat. Sila letakkan pen dan berhenti menjawab." It had been three tormenting weeks for me. Since the first week of the mid-year exam, I started having symptoms of fever and flu. As expected, I got flu and fever on the second week of exam...not to mention i also got cough, sore throat and headache. I had a hard time studying history as I felt drowsy every time I open the book... The third week was better physically but not in my exam paper! I blew my add maths paper =.=" (I did not manage to finish doing a few questions in paper 1 which will cause me dearly... and my paper 2... many careless mistakes!) Well, never mind. It's only a trifle thing to worry about especially when it's holidays!! I have not yet planned how to use my holidays, but I have to go for choir competition on the first week... Wish our choir team good luck and enjoy your freedom...at least for now!

Happy holidays to all primary and secondary students!!! MES choir team, go go go!

Hello all~Welcome to my blog.

Now, I would like to share my first story here. Last Sunday, me and my team participated the Star Mighty Mind Challenge. My team consist of 3 people, me Ka Man and Man Howe. There were 2 teams that represent our school and my team is team B. When we first arrived, we saw many people at there that were also going to participate the same competition as us. The atmosphere was heavy and I can feel all the nervousness and exitement of the participants crowding inside the shopping mall. After registered, we went for the first challenge, answering quizzes. There were 20 questions based on science, maths and general knowledge and there were 60 teams involved in this first group. We outstand for the first 7 questions, but getting more wrong questions as time went on. I wondered if the reason behind this was because one of our team members were sick...(or was this just a lame excuse to comfort myself?)

As a result, we failed to excel in the first challenge and failed to proceed to the next and the last challenge. Even though our group lost, but group A of our school succeed in getting into top 30 and will proceed to the next challenge. In the second challenge, all participants were required to make an alarm clock using materials they provided in one and a half hour. In the end, our school became the champion of the challenge. It was a surprise for all of us but we felt proud of it. It was indeed a nice challenge and I had a good time. It was a good experience for me and I learned a lot of things...Congratulations Methodist!!!!!!
