Quick update

so what am i up to lately?
well, everyone knows i'm traveling, 
yeah! going to the United Kingdom and southern France very soon!
It's going to be a three weeks trip focusing only on the United Kingdom and France unlike the previous trip where i visit all the major cities in Europe, I'm walking into the nature this time.
Lavender field, Scottish Highlands, French Riviera and northern coast of Ireland B-)

If i include the Hong Kong trip last December after my STPM,
I've been traveling for 3 months!
thats one third of my holiday! WOW!

oh yea, by the way,
I'm working on a video lately,
wanted to finish it before i travel, but i guess that's impossible.
so many editing and so many scene to be covered.
I wish that you guys have more time for me,
I really dont like to film during the evening and in such a rush condition.

Traveller

I think I'm qualified to call myself a traveller!

I've been traveling lately,
to a lot of places!

Yup, from Asia to Europe, 17 cities, 10 countries!

I'm going to write about my one month Europe backpacking trip here :)

It all started two years back,
my first time to Europe is memorable,
and i realise that I must go back there one day.

Ever since that trip, I've been saving my pocket money for a trip to Europe again after my STPM,
and finally, after all the bread eating days,
my dream come true!

people think that only the rich can afford to travel in Europe,
well, i think i just prove them wrong.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

some highlight event of the trip:

Food Poisoning:
i was suffering from food poisoning before my flight to Paris.
worse day ever!
can you imagine running into toilet for so many times before a 12 hours flight?
i even puked 3 hours before the flight.
NIGHTMARE!
but luckily my body behave during the flight.

Eiffel Tower!

3 in one?

Chateau de Versailles

books for sale


Farewell:
spending few days with my sister,
suddenly, i have to say good bye to her makes me feel so reluctant.
couldn't imagine the days without her,
who's gonna take photo for me!

My First Backpacking Trip

I should write about it earlier,
but I'm kindda lazy recently.

so, as what i've mentioned in my title,
This is my very first backpacking and solo trip.
Although i didn't went oversea,
but i think borneo island is far enough for me as a first timer.

I'm very proud to say,
I went traveling with only one small bag and a camera bag!
cool right?

Its really lonely to travel alone,
especially for the first day.
walking alone in the city,
but hay,
at least i have my phone with data plan which keeps me connected to my friends :)

But the story changed during my second day.
I bought a trip to Gunung Ganding for the Raffasia,
and i befriended 2 Scottish, 2 Germans, 2 Swiss people and 1 Czech girl.
I'm the youngest among all and i'm also the only asian in this trip!
This is the first time feeling so 'international' 
I never befriended so many europeans even during my trip to UK and French last time!

Backstory

So here I am, blogging about year 2012

Dear 2012,
This is the year of my finals,
This is the year of my graduation,
This is the year of farewell,
This is the year of what they once rumored to be the end of the world.

I here by sending this message to my pass or to those who live in the pass of the parallel universe,
The world is not ending, and it's stupid to spent all your money and wait for your death.

Anyway, back to my story.
So as I said, this is the year of graduation. I'm not going to talk a lot on this, as I had blogged about it earlier.
This is the end of my school life, no more form seven and I really appreciate it, especially my friends and teacher who accompany me through out this challenging year, and thanks to those who were always with me.

What about my finals?
Well, those torturing days were finally over!
And I'm back to my usual life ;)
An average of 8 hours study per day is exhausting!
Imagine you have to sit in front of the desk for so many hours!
The worse part is, I'm not really confident with my result!
Hopefully it pay off!

Travel to Hong Kong and china after my finals,
It's a reward to me, well, finally, freedom!
Enjoyed my trip there and looking forward to travel again soon!

The most unforgettable event:
School stupid rules- when I step in to the headmaster's office to protest about the crew cut rules
Chinese New Year visit- when we visit to most of the TBTN members house
Methodist Boys' School rovers gathering- when all the best friends work together
Penang Chinese Girl High School campfire- when we get the overall champion prize
HT's birthday- when I act like a bad guy
Methodist Boys' School Training camp- when untahanable quarrel
The last day of STPM- when I running around like a mad man throwing papers
My trip to Hong Kong- when my dad snore during midnight
The end of the world- when I told myself I'm going to survive

Best friends of the year- Lim Hean Tee, Tan Yi Lynn, Yau Kean Shin

Best achievement of the year:
school academic qualifications
the best overall champion of PCGHS campfire

To be a better man

Had been busy for a few months due to the deadly exam - STPM.
well, finally a break before my last paper.
 
this is not a simple exam at all.
Well, i don't know whether i can make it or not.
 
Seriously, this is damn stressful.
I sometimes doubted myself whether i can make it or not.
i tried to tell myself to be positive with everything,
but well, you know...
 
I'm hiding from the mistake I've made during exam.
papers after papers,
accumulating all those mistake,
hiding inside the deepest place of my heart.
but how long can i hide everything?
how long can i pretend?
 
Having a talented sister is already stressful.
being number one in class or even in school is not easy too!
what about the expectation from parents, teachers and friends?
 
hay, I'm already stressed out.
i don't know how many people can endure this stress,
but one last straw will definitely break my back!
I'm overloaded :(
 
HELP!

高中六毕业感言

我又再次毕业了,看回前年写的毕业感言,有所感触。虽然美以美中学没有毕业典礼,但还是决定为这一年半的风风雨雨,写上一篇。

初中六~我原本中五毕业于恒毅,理当升上恒毅大学先修班。开学前我挣扎了很久,我很想转校,不想再继续念这间没有人权自由的学校。十八岁的我,闯荡世界多个大国,回头看恒毅时,觉得那落伍思维的学校,严厉的校规,不再适合追求自由与梦想的我。再加上戏剧老师已经决定离开恒毅,我疼爱的学弟学妹们也都即将毕业,而我的死对头戏剧顾问老师也不会珍惜我的付出,在那里继续升学也没意思。在还没开学前,我已决定并获得家长的支持转校。由于教育部规定,我无奈的必须回恒毅办转校手续,开学时我还是必须剃光头,不过这是我人生中最后一次了!我一共在恒毅呆了两三个礼拜左右,在恒毅的日子还不错,老同学相聚,老师也很信任我,其实我的心还真有点动摇。
这对我来说是个冒险,因为我即将去到一个完全陌生的环境!
假期时我收到了教育部的转校批准信,由于我同学父母反对,他们都不能转校,短假后,只得自己一个人到美以美中学报道。还记得开学第一天,我来到了新的校园,谁都不认识,又不想出丑,把车子停放在后门,再潇洒地走进校园,来到食堂二话不说,把书包放下埋头便睡。还真的不想让人家知道我是新人。敲钟后人都离开了,我才提起胆量抬头看,观察四周,寻找跟我一样的新生。目标寻获!卿卿(化名)是我第一个认识的朋友,看到他呆呆的表情就知道他是新生,咱俩同病相怜,自然不放过认识的机会!
就这样,我开始了我精彩的大学先修班生活。认识了越来越多的朋友,学校老师也都不错,虽然开学时我很喜欢拿美以美跟恒毅作比较,指出美以美的弱点,不过毕业前的我必须说,美以美因为行政上比不上恒毅,所以才造就了他自己独特的完美!
在课外活动方面,我选择了童军和交通巡查员,这两个都是在美以美中学非常大的团体。参了这两个团体,我开始忙了起来,认识的人也越来越多,也多亏上天的保佑,让我遇上了贵人,学长们都很看得起我,我在这两个团体中都当上了主席,谢谢!
说到这里,我不得不提 Untahanable。这是一群好友组合,也很荣幸的,我是这组合的一份子!老实说,这组合带给了我很多欢乐,也改变了我的生活。我也为这组合,拍下了毕生第一部MV。怎么说,这辈子应该怎样也忘不掉这组合吧!
至于学业方面,我依然保持自己的纪录--第一名。不过我并不满意,我觉得离我目标还是差一大载。不过我也算为恒毅争光了吧。


高中六~这是我最后一年的校园生活,年底的大考也给我添加了不少压力。不过这一年我还过得挺充实的。
先说说课外活动,这一年算是多事之秋。年头听闻校方要限制所有服务团体会员必须剃光头,简直快气死我了!身为交通巡查员主席,我手下的男会员不算少,校方这个命令根本是在为难我们。怎么说我们都是在为校服务,怎么无端端惩罚我们了呢?最气人的事我的顾问老师,我知道我不该怪你们,不过我真的很不服气。我们帮了你那么多,怎么你却袖手旁观?怕老板?行!我自己解决!我去见你们的老板!我去跟你们的老板辩论!你们怕,我不怕!见过校长,也算雨过天晴。不过自此之后,我对顾问老师都失去了信心。自己的学生都不保护?你也休想我为你效劳。乖乖的做完我分内事,毕业时拿我该拿的分数也就算了。老实说,我拼了一整年就只拿到7分,实在是不划算,感觉好像是被骗了。哀哉,吝啬的顾问老师。
生命总是布满荆刺起起落落,童军团那里也不好过。无端端遇上了这个刁难的顾问老师。这位马来老师很烦,给了我们很多问题,经常让我们委员头痛,搞活动又不支持我们,代表学校出赛又从中阻扰,还好我们都一一解决,一一克服了。在这里不得不提我在童军团里的成就。今年我们参与了槟华主办的营火会,同样的,我当上了带队导演,在失败教训中累积的经验帮助下,成功获得最佳戏剧奖和全场中冠军!这年头里,我们也很顺利的举办了多项大型活动!谢谢大家!
至于朋友方面,说起来还真有点可悲。年头我们还好好的,到了年中,问题来了。我的好朋友在童军训练营结束后吵架,最让我痛心的是他们竟然“开会”讨论,并记录下了他们不满意的事情,圆桌上争锋相对!做朋友的,你说你不心痛,你就不是人!这是我们彼此永远存在的一道疤痕,由不得你不喜欢,这也是件后悔再也来不及的事。这事情结束了我们 Untahanable 辛辛苦苦建立起来,接近一年的友谊。不过事情发生后,我跟剩余的人感情更深厚巩固,毕竟彼此一起度过这段争吵时,站在同一阵线上,互相照应过,这友情算是经过了考验。
至于U6A3的同学们,大家还过的蛮开心的,相处时间久了,彼此更加认识,宸凯还为我们开了一个 Sampat 组合。对了,说到我的班,我不得不提,我尽然变成了韦小宝,班上五位“老公”,闹得我永无宁日。当然,这些都只是开玩笑,别当真!
我的外号是第一名,班上四次考试还是保持着纪录。我应该光荣?还是心虚?其实我并不满意我的成绩。到最后一次考试,我还是无法信心的告诉自己,我能够达到目标,大考金榜题名!我很挣扎,也觉得很害怕。上天,请你保佑我吧!


对这一年半的风风雨雨,我想做个总结。我爱美以美中学,尽管校方很爱刁难,不过教我的老师们都很疼我;尽管友情出了很多问题,但是我的知己还是永远支持我。这一年半载,我度过了精彩无比的人生,所有面对的挫折也把我历练成一个更成熟的人。这所高中的不完美,把自己的漏洞变成了完美的基础;这所高中给予的自由,把自己的学生训练成社会大学的人才。这一年半载培养出来的爱校精神,也激发了我作词的冲动。一年半载,人已不在;一年半载,记忆永在!


在完成这篇毕业感言前,我想按照自己的传统,给陪我度过这一年半载时光的朋友老师们(原谅我乱乱翻译你们的名字)写下自己对他们的感言:

Pn. Sabariah:You are loving, and i'm impressed with your self control. I never see you angry! thanks for teaching me PP

林冰云师:你是位很认真的老师,我很荣幸能够成为你的学生。是你把我们这一班的PA教得那么好!我们也很有缘份,小学时你曾经是我的音乐老师,8年后,你又再度成为我的老师!

李凤萍师:在还没转校时,你是我的补习老师,来到美以美中学,得知你教我会计,我开心都来不及呢!我很喜欢你的教书方式,你对我们都很好,谢谢!

Pn. Tan Bee Ke: remember that time when i made you angry i made some roses and wrote an apology letter to you in Chinese? i don't know you don't read Chinese! how careless i am! thank you for teaching us Econs.

Pn. Lainah: well, i got band 4 earlier before you teach us, and i have no intention to re-sit the examination. but still, i appreciate your time for teaching us. Hay, i like the way you conduct your speaking season! i enjoy the debate! :)

Untahanable:

林贤庭:我交通巡查员和童军团的副主席,又住得那么靠近我家,我常常在他上学,相处的时间很多,在美以美中学里最好的朋友!我有什么创作,第一个找他过目。很谈得来,也很愿意抽空陪我。虽然有时爱耍脾气,不过那不是问题!不过记得我不是你的菜 :)

林微婷:你给我的印象是很乐观,也很踊跃地参与我们的活动,常常一起出去,非常开心有你这位朋友

林嘉萍:你的个性温和,对我一向来很客气,我们认识那么久,其实不必那么客气吧!

杨炳龙:很经典的钟灵男生,性格其实有点像我爸爸!很勇敢的企业家,加油!

吴澍榕:你算是我在 Untahanable 里比较早认识的朋友,很 spoting 的女生,看到你跟炳龙甜蜜的样子,真令人妒忌:)

叶依亮:Patrol 1 的 PS,性格好胜的朋友,也是一位非常厉害的舞者

万子扬:很斯文的男生,谈话起来还不错。

丘健信:非常开放也很健谈的朋友,我相信你是我认识那么朋友当中最有“经验”的人。

文茵与志玮:非常甜蜜的一对金童玉女,最印象深刻的是当你在2011年训练营一起熬夜时跟我们分享过的故事!

苏蕙晴:你做事很细心,也帮了我不少,我非常珍惜你所做的一切,谢谢。

叶可利:我交通巡查员的副主席,拥有一幅漂亮的歌喉(其实人也很美),美以美中学里你对我的家庭最认识,很活跃疯狂的朋友,不过自从你谈恋爱后,似乎一直听到你的埋怨,又常常熬夜,多照顾自己,不要让人心痛。

Rovers:

王维杰:我们的ASM,跟他合作得非常愉快。常常给我们帮助与有建设性的意见,我们的大型活动力的灵魂人物,常常抽空出席我们的会议,我感到很幸运,能有你那么好的一位ASM!

陈怡霖:我的好好朋友,是童军团的副主席,也是一位“铁娘子”,个性刚硬,性格直率。开始觉得你这个人应该很难交朋友,认识你后,觉得还挺谈得来的:)

叶丽欣:一位女运动员,性格活泼。槟华营火会才慢慢认识她,最近还因为在走廊追逐意外跌倒,搞得自己很没脸。其实没什么,人家又不会对你产生负面映像,反而觉得你这个人很 sporting, 玩得起

Traffic Warden:

锺仪倩:我非常感激你为这团体的付出,也很庆幸能够有你这位秘书。这团体的文件工作实在太多,你又愿意一一扛起,任劳任怨的工作,我很感动!谢谢你!

翁灵慧:我们团体的纪律给你管得还蛮不错,为人很直接,我很佩服你的公私分明:)


U6A3:

许宸凯:班上的开心果,完全不像我想象中的钟灵生,非常体贴,常常给我按摩,拥有一幅好声音,也成了班上的收音机,很开心认识你。

林佩盈:班上的优秀生,拥有110长腿,非常健谈,很理智,常常一起分享心得,看法也很一致,非常开心认识你。

叶彦盈:开始认识你时,觉得你很可怕,不过认识久了,发觉你害羞时有时很可爱

林诗敏:可以不可以用打不死的蟑螂来形容你?有时你让我很无奈,你那顽强的性格,相信世间难找!

张凯君:学业上非常醒目的朋友,不过有时我对你很不公平,也让我感到很对不起。不过你说话要小心点嘛!

许芳容:非常正值的朋友,太过正值了!爱打抱不平,凭那张打遍天下无敌手的嘴巴,你说一,没人愿意说二!

张智敬:坐在我身旁的班长,人很直接,也是格遵守校规的好学生。

张子康:班上的老大,很尽责,也很贴心。在我遇到困难挫折时,也只有他愿意给我安慰,谢谢!

一切所发生过的事情还历历在目,在我的脑海里留下了许多回忆,这辈子有过那么一群好朋友,还有什么怨言呢?

最后谢谢大家陪我度过这一年半载,谢谢我班同学,我的老师们,我的巡查员们,和我的童军们!
在此为你们写了首歌,希望能早日完成,也希望你们都能收到我诚心的祝福。
祝大家永远快乐!
我,毕业了!!!

Rover's farewell 2012

Finally,
gonna blog about the last and final event of MBS rover.

if u did follow up my blog recently,
i did mention about having trouble organising it.
although i'm no more a committee.
well, once a TL, always a TL.

so it all happened last wednesday.
after school, i received a phone call from our 'dear' Pn. Analiza,
asking me to inform all members that the farewell had been postponed.

WOW!
i mean like, how am i going to do it?
its a public holiday Thursday and Friday is our farewell!
actually, even i have all my member's phone number,
but asking me to spend that money texting them doing something i don't want?
for my member's sake, for my own sake!
no way, i'm not going to do it!

her excuse was our HM does not allow us to use so much money on farewell,
but she agreed to spent RM3000 earlier for our farewell!
the first thing it came to my mind was she can't make it that day,
so she came up with some stupid yet annoying plan to stop us from eating.

so i phoned Wei Keat, our ASM to discuss,
but badly, i can't reach him.
i was studying actually.
but after i received her call,
i can't focus anymore.

so i get Mr Gan, out HM's phone number from PL,
and i negotiated with him.
talk for quite some time,
the told me his main reason has something to do with brotherhood.
but finally he agreed to give us RM2000 for the farewell.
but that is way not enough to cover our cost.

received a call from her that night,
she asked me to go school the next day,
she is passing all Rover's money to HM.
she don't want to take care about it anymore.

HAHAHA!
you kidding me?
i'm not going to play along with you.

so Chee Chau, the new troop leader meet up with her the next morning.
they discussed but did not solve the problem.
HM's did offer a term for us.
if we can get the brotherhood's approval,
we can take an extra RM1000 out.

so i tried to contact Wei Keat to seek for help.
but before i could reach the brotherhood,
Pn. Anliza phoned them and told them about the problem.
and she does not support or encourage the brotherhood to approve our request.
Damn!
i tried to called Richard, but he was in a meeting,
and seems to be hiding me from my phone call.

but finally the brotherhood get back to Pn. Analiza,
and told her that she can make the decision.
and finally after all these mess that she had created,
she approved.
well, Chee Chau did his job here.

so i meet up with Hean Tee, Wei Th'ng and Chia Ping Friday morning,
and happily departed to Hotel Equatorial.

we were early.
even earlier then juniors.
but anyway, we are here for food.
so i don't care.

took some photos around the hotel with friends.


and as expected,
Pn. Analiza did not make it.
smart guess huh?
she is such an idiot!
created all the problem just because she can't make it,
and don't want us to enjoy without her.
selfish!

anyway,
had a lot of food,
got to replace my anger with the club's money!

enjoyed the day without her.


best friends


after the lunch,
we went to Queensbay.
actually i don't want to go,
but since everyone is going.
have to follow majority.

watched imperfection.
its a good movie,
but i'm annoyed with all the fighting.
well, the movie is about gangster's life.
can't imagine how they live with all those fighting.
don't like it at all.

bought Taylor Swift's latest album too :)

well, this is the last about rovers in my high school life i guess.
i enjoy the time spent with my friends here.
just too bad we have such a troublesome teacher.
imperfection.
