School Reopen

Finally, school has reopened.
Ironically, I do not have the feeling of 'i don't want to go to school' as i usually would feel. Instead, I'm like treating these days as part of a holiday. Does the two sentences confuse you?
Today is the first day of school, and I took my General Paper this morning.

Hwa Chong Institution High School Section is closed for 1 week, which means my juniors do not need to go to school. They are such lucky and fortunate people. I wished I were them. Haha. One extra week to enjoy life is joyful.

From the news that I read, there are a few schools closing. It takes one staff or student to get contracted of the virus for the school announce a 7 days holiday. I am afraid I will not have the luxury for such an experience.

Even though school has reopen, I shall leave behind everything that has bothering me all the while that causes immense stress to myself. I shall continue my life with far more enriching and happy moments rather than focusing solely on studies. Life is not only about studying, but is learning, and learning to enjoy, and enjoy.

599 cases reported by Channels News Asia! I guess it will increase exponentially.

Good Luck to me for the rest of the papers. I will do to the best of my current ability, I am not that of a computer who can store all information into my hard disks, I am just a 40 GB hard disk.

There are a few days left for me to study.
Is it too little time?
5 days still can make a difference, provided that we utilize the time properly.
I hope I still manage to pull it off.

Still confuse and mind straining.
Is that the future I am destined to be?
Is the road in front difficult? There is no doubt.

What matters most is the present.
When the future comes, deal with it.

10% is nothing.
We still have 80% in our hands.
So, there is no need to worry at this current situation.
I am just worried with how people will judge me. =/
I still have to do my best.

Bonjour!

Home Sweet Home.
I am finally back.
Today, I went out with David, one of my best friends from Poi Lam. We went to watch movie. It has been a long time since I last drove, that would be during the Chinese New Year Season. I think its about 3 months I have not touch the steering wheel of a car. And today, I finally drove and proud to say that my skills are still as good as usual. XD
Today's outing is more of a get together outing. Because, nothing seems going okay, except for the food, the driving and all. At least we talked a lot, and chat for quite some time.
Firstly, we went to Jusco to watch movie. Actually we wanted to watch Monster Vs Aliens, 11.30am, but it was full. I can't imagine that this movie really sold out entirely, and it is only the first show of the day. So, we went to watch Terminator Salvation, it is more like me accompanying him to watch, because he has not watch yet. Then, for me, is more like a time for me to analyse the storyline, and yup, I could understand it even better. By the way, the ticket price was RM6, less than 3 dollars, that is almost the same price for a chicken rice in Singapore. LOL..
Before our movie, we ate a Sundae Ice-Cream. During the movie, we ate popcorns and drank Sprite. After the movie, we went to Greentown to eat 'lui cha'. Yummy. I really love it.
Later on, we decided to go to a nearby Lan Centre to play some games, since we have some time. So, I actually paid the carpark booklet fee for 1 hour. Then, we went in the centre and found out that internet service is down. OMG.. i just wasted 1 hour of parking money. LOL...feeling dissatisfied, we went to a internet cafe near my house. This even worse, the computer lagged like hell, we ended up playing some mini games. haha...so lame...
Finally, we bought some movies and watched at my place. Quite a fun day I can say, ignoring some of the unexpected circumstances occurred. =)

I think its about time to mug now...=) Morning play, night mug...

I'm at Fairmont Hotel, accompanying my aunt.
She just had her feet operation yesterday.
Wish her to recover soon.

COOL

Still comforting =)

So far, all the 11 cases in Singapore are imported and have a travel history. There is currently no evidence of community spread.

Mirror

The problems we can identify are often what we usually do.
The characteristics we identify on someone else are a mirror to ourselves, we look at attributes we know, how we know them? Because we exercise them.

-Life is a Mirror-

Perplexed

Should I be happy or sad?

HILARIOUS

AWESOME!

What do i fascinate most?

=/

Nobody loves the feeling of being left out.
Nobody hates the feeling of being lonely.
Are these statements true?
Certainly not, nothing in this world is absolute, hence the answer is not true.
Next, are these statements contradictory to one another?
I think they are not.

We would not mind being lonely occasionally.
However, when one thinks that themselves are being left out, the feeling is distasteful, even though if they have asked but still not keen to go, they would feel much better. At least he can feel that people know his existence and even bother to ask.

Human mind is that complicated and difficult to understand.
We are unable to satisfy all our needs, and nothing seems to be enough.
The only solution here, is to think positively.
Everything is up in the mind.
You can control how you think, how you feel.
Do not let others control how you react and how you feel.
That is sufficient to maintain a satisfactory and joyful life.

I am still unsure of what I am pursuing after my 'A' Levels.
This worries me quite a lot.
I can imagine, the choices and decisions is crucial in determining where and what would I exist in 10 or even 20 years time.
Is that kind of life I always aspire to achieve?
Is that kind of life I can withstand?
Is that kind of life I will enjoy?
Sacrifices have to be made, but which are the one that one can let go without much displeasure?
Is it right to pursue your interest?
Of course, but which interest are you talking about?
Can you survive by doing that for all your life?
If yes, go ahead, but do you really fully aware of the implications it may bring?
You never know.
Take the risk? and be happy and satisfied or having the chance of the ultimate failure.
Play safe? be neutral or always dissatisfied with present state but able to live with a moderate lifestyle
All of these had to be taken account of.
I know is hard.

Nobody can help you, but yourself.
A point to note:
There is never too late in life, you can be successful when you are young or old, you can turn back whenever you want, you can start all over again whenever you want, all you need is a young heart and courage to face all obstacles once again.

Is the answer clear?
I afraid not? It depends. =/

Happy Bday Ziang!

Happy Birthday Ziang!
You are such a lucky person, you know?

Yesterday was his birthday. We went out.
At first, me and Ziang, went out first, at about 1.30pm.
We went to Ang Mo Kio Hub to watch a movie at 2.10pm. We were slightly late lah.
We watched Terminator Salvation. I think the graphics, action, and storyline was cool and amazing. Although Im not quite sure what is really happening as I had not watched the previous three episodes of this movie sequel. I can say that it is still good despite being unable to understand certain parts. Of course, once I went back home, I did go research and find out the story line.

After our movie, around 4.30pm, we met Loo Ting, Cheng Kiat, Zheng Hao and Timo. All of them except Cheng Kiat were Ziang's classmates. So, we continue walking around. Loo ting, Zheng Hao and Timo bought a dog with a 'nike' head band for ziang, the funny thing is that they drew abs for the dog. haha. Oh ya, I haven mentioned what I gave Ziang for his birthday. I gave him one bottle of Brands Chicken Essence (enabling him to study till late) and shoe refresher (haha!).

OKay, later on, they are going for a movie called Dance Subaru. And I joined them! WHoa, 2 movies a day! LOL... I am going to be broke soon. Aiyah, after two days of slacking, I should concentrate to study. Before we went into the cinema, we went downstairs to buy bubble tea for the movie.

I think the movie is quite nice. It is basically very touching in some scenes. I really trying very hard not to drop a tear, aiya... It made me had watery eyes. LOL. Quite worth a watch!

After the movie is around 7.20pm, we went to eat dinner! BUT! The problem is we don't know where to eat. And we discuss for quite some time, and we even played open numbers to decide the one who is going to decide where to eat. In the end, I kena liao. But we still discussing hahaa... There were some 'insane' ideas that were pretty hilarious, 'lets go crystal jade in orchard'. Wow, we are in Ang Mo Kio, and want us to go orchard, haha, poor zeng hao who lived in Ang Mo Kio. Anyway, after all the pointless and funny discussion, we decided to settle at MOS Burger at AMK HUB. It is my first time eating there! OKay, not bad lah - the food. Just a little bit expensive. T.T

We chat there for quite some time. Talking cock.. When we are about to leave, Ziang went to give a packet of Mentos to two girls seating directly opposite us. LOL. He failed to do anything really funny, they were just stunned with what Ziang is doing. haha..

Anyway, after our dinner, someone (i could not remember) decided to play basketball, i think is zheng hao, if i am not wrong. LOL. We were wearing pants, jeans, slippers. LOL. But we still are up to the plan. We went to Zheng Hao's neighbourhood area to play basketball. We played with some girls who already were playing over there, as all half courts were occupied. Sad to say, we got OWNED at first. I am super super zibei lah, everyone can shoot very well, can lay up, can dribble, and I can't do anything except passing, intercepting and blocking. I am such a noob at playing Basketball, >_< ! haha

We played to at about 10pm, when the basketball courts light were switched off. Apparently, these facilities can only be used to a certain time. We were all very sweaty and tired. Our shirts were all wet. Later on, we went to a nearby kopitiam to talk cock and have a drink again. haha. We drank Teh Ping. And played some games. LOL. At about 10.55pm, we went back to boarding school. And reached punctually at 11.30pm, our curfew timing.

IT was a really tiring, yet fruitful day.
A day somewhat special to Ziang.
I hope he really had fun.
And he is lucky to have such a birthday DAY that nobody seldom gets.

that's all. i got to go to econs tuition now!!! see ya soon!

Britains Got Talent Final!

News Updates

100 years ago, people say that if a Black was elected as President in the United States, Pig Will Fly, after 100 days since a Black President was elected this year, Swine Flew.

The Swine Flu, known as Influenza A H1N1 Virus. Deadly?
The controversial currently is that there is some struggling whether to raise the flu outbreak to the pandemic level. It seems that the virus is not deadly, but it spreads really fast, more than 12000 people were infected over more than 35 countries, and the current death toll is at about 100 people.

The more notable details that will affect me are the cases in Malaysia and Singapore. Malaysia having 2 cases while Singapore had 4 cases. Is it good news or bad news? The bad news is that the virus finally struck our countries. The good news is that the infected were not the result from domestic contraction, but rather they all came back from infected areas. Therefore this shows that the virus is still not rampant in both Malaysia and Singapore. It is still safe. Do not worry!

=)

Britain's Got Talent Semi Final Day 2 - Gareth

I think he is awesome, able to sing with such a voice without opening his mouth is totally amazing. It is quite sad and a waste for not proceeding on to the finals. Anyway, cheer up Gareth!

Police Station is quite creepy!

My blurry and careless friend lost his wallet and handphone in school today.
I guess this is a time for him to reflect upon what has happened today, hope he will learn something from it. Also, do not be too sad, and hope your life goes on.
Anyway, it is my first time stepping into a Police Station in my life.
I shall remember today 26th May 2009, I stepped into the police station.
Of course, not for doing something wrong, but I accompanied my friend to lodge a police report. However, it ended up something we were not expecting. The policemen is not friendly as we thought he would be. Finally, we never made the report. I guessed he is going to report to the Police tonight with his parents. Good Luck!

1 more week to go!

Here they come!
The June Holidays!
I agree that this period of time is crucial for both studying and resting.
Perfect planning is required, and I know I am no where good to it.
I have decided to go back for a short period of time.
I hope I will be able to discipline myself to study whenever there is time, and not slack around, wasting precious time.

Things that I will need to do once I go back to Malaysia are:
1) Practice my driving skills
2) Hang out with old buddies
3) Hang out and spend quality time with my family
4) Most importantly, the only period of time to relax. (Literally)

2 cases of H1N1 Virus have surfaced in Malaysia. One in Penang and another in KL. Apparently, I am going to KL during the weekend. No worries, since the detection there were no reported cases of spreading. Anyway, the death rate of the H1N1 virus is only 0.71%, out of the 12000 infected people, only approximately 90 people were dead. So, not a big problem.

The holidays is a crucial time and I would not want to blew it.
I have not construct a clear goal ahead of me, but it is better to excel in the present than say sorry in the future.
Today, I watched many many short clips, documentaries about the theory of relativity, the string theory, time traveling, teleportation, invisibility and extraterrestrial lifeforms and others. Those short clips were fascinating! I am truly inspired by the stories and theories.
Dr. Michio Kaku - He truly is a good physicist.
Hopefully, what he says is true.

Okay, I shall take a bathe now. see you guys around!
