Exam Update Part II

Just a short update on today (I should say yesterday... it's over 12 now) - the last day of exam.

LC is a mess and many of us spend 2 and a half hour in sleeping. Oh, we do try to spend as much time as possible in section D, which is a composition.
Oh yea... Jacky even ask for more papers - to draw.

Chemist is another mess. Well, at least it's not passed sleeping. We try our very best to 'fill i the blank'. Ms Chong is right, this exam is more or less like a hell.

Honestly, it's really a bit hard this time. The only subject that isn't change is BM.

Okay... these are my updates. I can't imagine how much 'stars' I will get this time...
But the old speaking of S1 boys: play while you can!

Enjoy your sweet freedom from exams..

but I think some of our playtime won't be long...

Gtg... there is a basketball training tomorrow. Nothing too serious, the coach is Jacky... lol


Aftermath, out.

Exam Updates

Alright...

Exam is a lot hell harder than we all expected. So we are now swimming away from the pool of hell.

1 day left.
7 subjects examed.
Failing rate: 50%

Oh well, it started with EL and Computer Studies on Saturday - when I'm still sick. It started out well. EL and Computer are both quite easy-to-do.
However...

Monday: Chinese and Maths D
Chinese is so damn hard. Teacher had already told "students who must not be named" that even top chinese students in class like Chu Shan had problem in answering it correctly. Oh, my name is mention too - which is always a bad sign when it's chinese.
Maths D is moderate. I can't say it's hard, but it's not easy either. Well... and as usual, I didn't manage to finish it.
Oh yea... I just managed to get back to health the day before.

Tuesday: B.M. and Physic
This might be our dream day, but no.
The B.M. is nice. The questions are quite nice-to-do.
But Physic gave us a surprise. It's very high standard - something we didn't expect from our teacher. One good thing is there is a... erm... 'retest' on Monday on this subject, so case close.

Wednesday: English and Maths D (paper 2)
Well... English paper is quite hard this time, and many students complain about it. The writing paper isn't too good either. The topics are not nice-to-write, but I managed to choose the title "teamwork".
Maths D is almost the same as paper 1. Nothing special.

Thursday (today): Biology and Add Math's
Okay, nightmare day. Bio started out quite nice, just a few questions unknown...
But Add Maths...
I can see Jacky sleep after around 20 minutes, and Chun Xian is drawing something...
LOL
And Elize is playing with her paper...
Me? Too busy looking around... haha...
WTH! Can't even complete a single question. I'm not surprise that if more than half of the class fail again for this time.

So I think I know my point now... at least 2 subjects - Add Maths and Chinese had failed.
I think I will make that 3... tomorrow's LC.

---

About my sickness... well, it's a bit too stubborn. I had been sicked for 5 days - Wed till Sunday. And the sick isn't gonna leave if I had not attend for TCM (traditional Chinese Medicine).

Oh btw, the cure is so weird... if in a movie you will think it's witchcraft...

It's my aunt who use the method on me.
Chicken feathers.
Yea, you are not hearing (or seeing, in this situation) sounds! Chicken feathers!
Not by eating it of course.
The chicken feathers were boiled with water and let it cool down for a while.
And while it's still steaming (round 60-70 degree C I think), use the feathers to wipe my back, chest and face. After wiping, you can see some white glittering 'scales' and 'pig feather' on my skin. They say those are the cause of the fever.
Well, it's hard to explain, no scientific explanation, but it works, even though the clinic medicine don't work.


Well... I think that's all...
Will keep you all updated when the exams are finally over (tomorrow).

Good luck.


Aftermath.


PS: No PS for this post... :P
PSS: Qin, take care yourself. School reopen already don't late sleep again lor... if not sick like me... :)

Wednesday 17 October 2007

Bad luck, I'm sick...

Well... bad luck... I'm sick...

Alright, it's exam fever (and I'm having a fever now...) again. Exam is coming soon so I guess people are starting to do their last-minute revisions now.

My mother's habit of nagging me did not change, but I'm getting used to it. However, I do start to do revisions, starting from this Monday. Well, after all it's the end of year exam.

Something interesting happened in the school today. It's the Chemistry lesson. Ms Chong was acting like she doesn't see any 'pants wearer'. It's no good, but Jacky and Chee Hong is making fun of it - which make the whole class laugh. Well, at least that will prevent us from dropping asleep.

I'm very tired at school today due to the sickness, and try to find as much time as possible to rest. The last 3 period was a mayhem as the 'usual 9' gather at the back of the class. Well, seems okay to me. I find some time to sleep. :)

Well, we are discussing about what to do after exam. Yann Kang (aka Rabbit) suggested Lost World, which is, in my opinion, quite boring. Yea, playing with friends will be fun, but aren't we going there a bit too often? Erm, we do make fun of Jacky by suggesting 'San Poh Tong', 'Hill City', and 'McDonald Drive-through'. Why? Nah... ask Jacky... LOL

Okay... so good luck to all my friends about the final exam!

Edit: Oh, and I just found that our Principal's husband had passed away. Let's hope he went peacefully.


Aftermath, out.


PS: Gee.. Kah Ho's secret had been put on public by Jacky. LOL... his expression is so funny... what? Oh Ling Xing (sorry if mis-spell)?
PSS: Qin - Be positive, think positive!

Free holiday... a short, boring entry

***Prepare for the launch...***
5...
4...

1...
**Rocket is launched!**
On local time (MAS) 11th of October 2007, 0:26am, A Russian rocket carrying Malaysia's first astronaut has blasted off from Kazakhstan.
A new era of space travel for Malaysia!
However, many people are saying that it's a waste of money.

Personally, yes.
The money spend on the cost of space travel is better off used in improving the quality of our life. Public properties, for example. You should know how 'good' it is.


Anyway, enough stuff for that.

Got free holidays because of Hari Raya. Great. I think this is the first time Private school got more holidays than government school.

And the DotA match today is fun. Damn... got blame for being 'lanci' because I farmed till 3k HP... what the hell... that Ah Kin...
Btw there is really no lag at the start of the match and maybe that's why Jacky say we 'lanci'...
But other matches are fun. Nice to have a free day without parents around. :P

Oh yea... anyone planning to go and watch Seeker: The Dark Is Rising? It seems to be a good movie.

And for Tomato Mak's sake, RAIN CATS AND DOGS! :p Just kidding...


At the end of my entry, I would like to quote a poem I went pass somewhere in the net.
Hope you all enjoy.

I had closed the door upon my heart
And wouldn't let anyone in,
I had trusted and loved only to be hurt
But, that would never happen again.

I had locked the door and tossed the key
As hard, and as far as I could,
Love would never enter there again,
My heart was closed for good.

Then you came into my life
And made me change my mind,
Just when I thought that tiny key
was impossible to find.

That's when you held out your hand
And proved to me I was wrong,
Inside your palm was the key to my heart...
You had it all along.

- Marsha Hoyt -


PS: To W. Qin, don't be sad. Remember there is always friends that care about you. And no one is perfect. :)
PSS: Gee... even Perfect World's character isn't perfect... =.='''

Tuesday 9 October 2007

Unlucky day... well nevermind... I have friends with me... :)

Alright... A bad day for me today...

It started out when our discipline master search classes for long-hairs. Well, as all my friends know, my hair is relatively short and is always up-to-standard.

But what the hell...

I got my hair cut my the discipline master. And he only cut my hair for not more than 1 cm. Is he too free? =.='''

But one thing is sure that his 'skills' had 'improved'. All our hair is cut in a straight line, so straight that you can use the ruler to measure it...

------

I found a nice and short poem online, and I would like to hare it with you all.
When you need a shoulder to cry on,
Remember that I have a warm embrace,
Ready to offer comfort.

When you think I'm being too tough,
Remember that which does not kill you
Makes you stronger.

When you need a friend to listen,
Remember that I am here for you,
Always.

When you doubt me,
Remember that I once knelt at your feet,
Washing them in service to you.

When you lose faith in yourself,
Remember that I never did,
Nor ever will.
~Tara Simms


It's a nice poem about friendship. Always remember, there are always friends that care about you, trust you, help you, and ready to lend their ears to you.
Never walk alone - the Liverpool Football Club team song, is really a good song for all of us friends. We are like a team, a strong unit when we combined and work together.
Heard of the story of 'The Sticks and the Sons'? One stick is so weak that even the youngest son can break it with ease, but when combined, it is so strong that no one can break them. That's the moral.
Never feel lonely. There are always friends, and I found them a great pleasure in my life. There is no real 'solo' in real life.
So if you are feeling low, don't be worried to speak it out.
Remember, you are not alone.

At the end of my entry, I would like to post a story that is found on a forum. It's a Chinese one, and very touching.
Hope you enjoy it.

***
有一個年輕人喜歡上了在便利商店打工的女孩
,他每天都會到女孩工作的店裡面買一包香煙,

漸漸的兩人開始互相熟悉,當女孩工作感到無聊乏味的時候,
年輕人就會出現,他會陪女孩說說話 ,或是逗女孩開心.
女孩也知道年輕人似乎喜歡上自己了,可是自己已經有很要好的男友.

有商店夾公仔機...女孩很喜歡裡面的娃娃,
年輕人知道以後,當天他終於對她表白,希望女孩能接受他,
不知如何是好的女孩,只能殘忍的告訴年輕人,她和他是不可能的,
因為她已經有深愛的男友了,年輕人聽了之後默然的點點頭,
他不死心的問女孩,自己真的沒有機會了嗎?

善良的女孩不忍心....
於是她手指著娃娃機裡面的絨毛娃娃說,
除非你夾滿100個娃娃,而且一天只能夾一個.
原來女孩希望用時間來沖淡年輕人對自己的感情 ,
她心想,一天夾1個娃娃, 最快也要三個多月之後才有100,
而且年輕人應該不會真的有耐心夾滿100個娃娃吧

這三個月的時間,她會盡量與男孩保持距離,
年輕人還是每天到商店來,可是女孩開始變得冷淡,
他總是試著聊一些女孩有興趣的話題,不過女孩依然愛理不理.

因為她知道唯有這樣做,才不會讓年輕人越陷越深.
年輕人或許是感覺到女孩的用意,
於是他每天夾娃娃,有時運氣好夾一兩次就中了,
有時運氣差,零用錢花光了也夾不到,只好跟朋友借錢繼續夾,一直到夾中為止.
無論花多少錢花多少時間,他每天一定會夾一個娃娃,
只是他無法與女孩分享夾到娃娃的喜悅,
因為他知道女孩有意要避開他,
為了怕引響到女孩的情緒,他只能在櫥窗外頭微笑的對女孩點點頭.

好幾次,看到年輕人因為夾到娃娃興高采烈的樣子,
女孩都想要衝出去對他說,
我是騙你的,你不要再夾了,就算你真的夾到100個娃娃,我跟你也是不可能的!
但是一想到年輕人希望破滅的樣子,女孩就於心不忍,她只能不斷猶豫.
就這樣1 ,2,3..,年輕人的娃娃數量不斷的累積,而女孩刻意與年輕人保持距離的結果,
則是讓自己在工作的時後更顯孤單.不知道是哪一天,女孩子因為在外地工作的男友無法回來陪她過18歲的生日,
與男友吵了一架,而那天年輕人仍一如往常的來到便利商店,
不同的是那天年輕人竟走進了店裡,他對女孩說,
可不可以破例讓他在今天夾兩個娃娃回去,
可是因為和男友吵架而心情不佳的女孩,很生氣的當場拒絕了他.
就這樣,年輕人走到娃娃機旁,默默的夾了一個娃娃回去,
年輕人離開的時後,他對櫥窗裡的女孩看了一眼.

隔天以後,年輕人再也沒來夾娃娃了.剛開始女孩雖然覺得奇怪,但是仍然慶幸自己終於放下了心中的大石頭.
可是漸漸的,她突然覺得不習慣,
因為那個每天都會為了她來夾娃娃的熟悉背影,
好像空氣一樣就消失不見了,這時女孩才發現到,
原來她心中的失落感遠遠超過年輕人所帶給她的負擔.
只是一切都...女孩開始想念以前年輕人來店裡陪她聊天的點點滴滴.
哪怕他只是站在櫥窗外頭沉默不語的夾娃娃,
似乎都會帶給她莫名的安全感.
所以女孩每天上班時,總是不斷的抬頭張望,
那個熟悉的身影來了嗎?

可惜的是,年輕人始終沒出現, 只剩下那台沒人使用的娃娃機.
有一天,女孩下班後,在店門口遇到了以前常和年輕人一起來的朋友,
她焦急的問他年輕人的下落,可是年輕人的朋友則是一臉黯然,
他帶女孩來到年輕人的家,
當他開啟年輕人的房間的門時,映入女孩眼簾的是
一群娃娃機裡面的絨毛娃娃,以及躺在床上動也不動的年輕人.
原來年輕人的脊椎有病,必須要開刀才能保住生命,
可是開刀有一半的機率會失敗而導致全身癱瘓,
年輕人在開刀的前一天晚上,也就是女孩和男友大吵一架的那天,
希望女孩給他機會夾2個娃娃,因為他已經累積有98個了,
然而卻遭到女孩的回絕,隔天之後年輕人手術不幸失敗變成植物人,
年輕人的母親拿了一封信給女孩,那是年輕人在手術之前寫好的:

其實我早就知道,就算夾到了100個娃娃,
妳也不可能會喜歡我,我之所以這麼做並不是故意要造成妳的困擾,
而是希望在我有限的時間裡,
證明我曾經很用心的去愛一個人,
這樣就足夠了,如果妳看到了這封信,
那表示我再也無法為你夾娃娃了,對不起,或許我的努力還不夠吧,
沒能夾到100個娃娃親手送給你..
女孩看著床邊的99個絨毛娃娃,那是99顆無法承受的真心,
眼眶裡的淚水早已決堤而出...
隔天女孩來到年輕人的家,
她將第100個絨毛娃娃放到年輕人的手中,
這時已經變成植物人的他,
眼睛流下了淚水...

huh... where is freedom

A lyric... I wrote from the bottom of my heart...
What's wrong with that boy mama
He's living like that's got no mama
I think he is living in a dreadful drunk
Only attracted to the things that bring the trump
In his home, yeah, he try to be a good student
But he still got bombard by his dear parents
For using internet, for playing basketball
The hatred for his parents seems to be never-ending
But if he only have a bit freedom for his own life
Then he will have some free space for himself
And the free space will generate some happiness
And when you happy you are bound to get hope, yeah
Irate is what you demonstrate

And that's exactly how anger works and operates
Man, you gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
And stop blaming and scolding for you own reasons, yeah...

I'm boring, I'm dying
I'm hurt and you'll see me crying
Can you imagine what's happening
And you will know that how I feel

Brother Brother Brother help me
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is freedom

Where is freedom (freedom)
Where is
freedom (freedom)
Where is
freedom
Freedom, freedom

Too angry to write anymore about that...
Let's... put it down

===

Alright... had a tiring but fun duty yesterday night. The shows were good, but the working group was a mess... curtain and stuff... all the plans changed and we can only do the second best thing: wait for order.

One thing I'm quite angry is that what is promised isn't given.

"We noticed that Scouts are always helpful but left unnoticed. Now we decided to give you all a table at the feast."

This is what promised at the assembly. Everyone heard that. Even our scout teacher confirm that. Then at that night, no table... lol...
And our fatty of the troop was very eager to sit down on one of the tables... :P
Well... but then got one table they let us to eat when the feast is almost over... ate the last 3 dishes...
Oh yea... one of them is a scout from 29th Kinta when he's young... of course, 'one day scout whole life scout'... still a scout now... haha


Alright... nothing much... so...


Aftermath, out.

PS: The students like Kah Ho's singing... :P

Thursday 4 October 2007

Some affairs huh...

Alright... as usual, let me start with today's...

Okay... we are so damn lucky to avoid last year's talent show... but this year isn't the same...
So our class decided to sing for the show. Well, it's started out alright, but things got messier when the heat is rising.

First of all, attitude. The girls might say we are so damn uncooperative with them... well, yea, but you know why?
It starts with, one thing, I don't know why, many of the boys actually LIKE to sing (like Neo and Kah Ho)... but you see...
No one likes to be commanded around. And criticizing makes the situation worst. You can't expect us to be as good as you all, you know. We are not professionals! Do you think everyone can sing that good? What's more? damn, the song is for girl's pitch one... you know it's very weird when a boy sing... erm, I mean a normal boy...
But never mind... we sing. And? Got scolded (Kah Ming prefer it as 'diao') for nothing! Maybe not all boys are singing (like the stupid rabbit), but all boys got scolded for that, by teachers and girls as well...

Scolded by a teacher? Well, we are used to it. But by our fellow students that think they are our 'mom'? Sorry, no way. They just think they are freaking good and scolded every single boy (maybe except Chee Hong and Jacky, who sing it out loud)... hey, I'm innocent ok? I and Chun Xian is singing softly at the front, who said that we can't sing it out soft when we are practicing? And who said that we can't sing while we are doing our homework (chemistry for example, I dunno why they said about chemist)?
And here goes... especially the singing group, scold us as they are much more wiser, older, useful... bla bla bla...

There is a Chinese idiom that said: a person is better to be killed than be insulted. Well, of course it's not that serious about being killed, but hey, everyone got their own "face". How do you feel when you really get insulted?
If you can stand it, I'm very impressive on you... but not everyone can.
"Boys are useless one..."
Fark off... then why call us to go help you and call us go up stage? It's you all who wanted this, and now you force everyone to do the same... well, as a class, it's okay to help, but that attitude really makes people angry.
"We are the one who want to be perfect... boys go 'eat' themselves... no use one..."
Cool! What a good scolding... and now you call us to go practicing with you all... great.
I don't know... but I think if you want to ask people to help you, I don't think you will speak in that tone...

Of course, I'm not speaking of all girls in our class. It's only that portion that make us sick of it.
Oh, one good thing is we all don't remember the flaming part, which is good. If not... I think we will all argue in class.

Speaking of the teacher. Oh great... the same sentence:
"Boys useless one..."
Another 'fark off' to you, sir. It's such a good pleasure when he scold us here... and in the other hand, he call us to help... great. Sometimes we called him 'GTA'... Great Teacher A**s... yea, really great.
I wish I scrap an A for my physic and see that emotion on his face. (yea... I enjoy that when I got my UPSR)

Tomorrow will be the 'judgment day'... so good luck boys... and maybe I should say good luck class, for not being laughed on stage.

Hope that our classmates can cooperate better next time...

Okay... enough flaming for that... hope you don't mind... it's only the words in my mind..

"I'm sorry, I can't be, perfect..."
~Simple Plan, Perfect

Oh yea... and today, we had another explosive + flammable basketball match with the juniors... well, it's actually not in our plan. But then you see... another proof of boys can't be insulted or laughed at: Kong had another fight with one of the juniors...
I can't blame him, any hot-tempered person will do that (as we all already know that he is). That guy hit the basketball to Kong's face (purposely it seems to be), and laugh out loud... imagine yourself...

---

Oh... and yesterday, our rabbit went to toilet, which is a very interesting thing to us - we had only saw him going to toilet for once, starting from Junior 1 till Senior 1. And he doesn't bring his water bottle for these days.
Let's have a laugh: LOL


And at this moment... I saw Chee Hong online... quite rare in normal days... LOL


Well, playing the drum set is quite fun actually... tried playing it today. Maybe next time when I can own money that time I go learn... the drum set is damn expensive. My parents won't be able to afford it. So I guess guitar might be the best one for me for now.

And we had a lot of fun in our ECA today... playing station games... some of the junior actually enjoyed it!

Well, I think that's all... looking forward to tomorrow's events.


Aftermath, out.


PS: Conglads to all PMR exam takers. Last day tomorrow!
PSS: Bad news for our school students because can't go home for tomorrow...


Another Quote:
Mencken's Law - Those who can, do. Those who cannot, teach.

Monday 1 October 2007

A normal week.

I think I should start with today...

Kinda good day... you know, the weather. Nothing special till the MML period. WTH! Our teacher lost my team's pen-drive! It's Neo's by the way. There are some other "plug-ins" in the pen-drive for our presentation.
And Neo was damn angry about what happened.
Oh yea... and expressed his anger when he read a sentence with the word "damn".
Well, I think that our teacher might be a bit 'not responsible' about this. She can't even remember who she gave away the pen-drive too (or is there that 'person'... Neo suspect she lost it).
And about the presentation...
"It's a good slide, but the presentation of it make your mark low." That's what she said.
Well I dunno... but she seems to be a bit "too interested" in our group. First we were questioned by so many unreasonable questions (which we answered technically, and furiously... luckily we were used to it... school debate team...). Then the trouble of passing up the homework, till losing Neo's pen-drive and a "good" comment about our presentation.
By the way, Jia Yu and Joyce's team's story looked nice too. Vinna's one is a bit boring while Faizan's one... well, no one actually read it.
nd I don't think they believe I wrote that story (maybe except Joyce who help me to correct grammar errors)... :P

After that was Art lessons. LOL... our art course for this year had finish so we had another free period. We played "Rich Man" then. It's a quite fun game actually, but since I first played it, Jia Ming just "teach" me a lesson by losing my money... and our proud owner of the new I-Phone was also rich in virtual... and lucky.

And about the good weather, I stay back for basketball. The best weather of the month I dare say, for basketball of course.

Okay... enough for today's entry. Let's talk about something before today.

Some of my scout news:
=======================
-------New Post--------
-19th Kinta Scout 2007-
=======================

Treasurer (Main)

Ng Chun Xian, the current Leader of 19th Kinta Scout had been announced by the SIs that he will be the new Treasurer, which is originally reserved for someone else.
Congratulation to Ng Chun Xian (nick: Saltfish) in being the new Treasurer.
And good news to Lic Teng, who doesn't need to collect/keep the troop's fee anymore.
Oh, and last Saturday, I manage to avoid the trip to KL. Instead, I went to Jacky's house - and had a lot of fun there... lol
Had a nice late chat with my friends there. And some tricks with Jacky... haha..
And, Jacky said that we broke our record for scoring 130 layup balls in 10 minutes.

Alright, I think that's all... nothing too special happened last week...


Aftermath, out.


PS: Good luck to all PMR students! The 1st day of the exam is just on!
PSS: But I think that PMR exam is the best thing happened last year... everyday we went out, and I still manage to get 7A's, which annoys Neo very much... :P
