Long Story

Hi! It had been a month since i last posted. Am having the mid semester break for one week now and it is gonna end soon, so it is better for me to write something before getting on with my coming frenetic weeks, haih...anyway, there are numerous to tell through this post, be they fragments of despondency or exhilaration. Well...once again, i don't know where to start. BUT i think that the most recent event i had participated in my college was the INPRO games. Basically, INPRO games is one of the annual events held by my college and it comprises a variety of sport competitions. I was involved in the athletics competition as i have been serving a softspot for it since i was young. I m not bluffing, if i say that i used to be a consideably good runner in my secondary school. I was the champion for my Rumah. No one could run faster than me in all long distance events. Hehe...no offence ya. K. Enough for craps. This event was held on 7 and 8 August 2009 ( Friday and Saturday ). For the 1st day, i had to compete in quite a number of events, namely 100m, 400m, and 4x100m. As far as i remember, that day's competitions lasted till around 10.30pm and we were ady there since 2.30pm. Swt...Fortunately, i didn't forget to bring some books along with me. I will never let go of any time and chance for being 'nerdy'. haha...swt...just can't change my nature. I can't survive without books ma....K. Early in the next morning, i woke up at around 5.30am to get myself ready for the coming competitions. The 1st event started at 9.00am. It was 4x400m. And right after that, i had to run for 200m as my friend had pulled out of the event bcoz he sustained an ankle injury. Extremely exhausted man....

Me, Si Yuan, hmm...forgotten. Tell me if u know..., Morgan. We were involved in 4x400m event. I was the last runner of the team!



Orange juice...tastiest drink ever!!

Besides, there are also some other significant 'events' to be mentioned. Firstly....secondly, the weekly tests. Seriously disliked them man...I was like having been doing the tests starting from the week after the INPRO events till the Thursday of the last week before the mid sem break. Physics on the 1st week, then followed by maths and bio as well as the ethics presentation. swt...so unhappy with all these...On Thursday's night (20 August 2009) which was also the day full of tests, i went to Asia Cafe for dinner in Subang Jaya. Actually, i was supposedly to attend the CA (Campus Alive) that night. Really sorry, Larry. I broke the promise, after having promised to come for so many times since last CA. But it wasn't entirely my fault. My classmate ph asked me to do so one. I can show u the message if u want. Hehehe....will go to ur church for sunday service next time for repentance k? Don't be angry ah Larry. ^^ Fine, back to the Asia Cafe. I was invited by ph in the bus on the way back to hostel after the bio test. So, we then met at the taxi stand at 6.20pm. There were other friends coming along too...hmm...i think i was the one following them, whatever lah...They were ph, ing hui, elayne, ivy, chee huat and I, of coz. We went to the ktm station by taxi and to subang jaya by ktm. Next, we took another taxi again, to Asia Cafe. swt...the amount of taxi fare itself that i had spent that night was actually enough for me to eat a nutritious, wholesome, salubrious yet invigorating dinner at a relatively moderate price. u see, her fault again. Dompet ku sakit, hatiku pun sakit. :p Asia Cafe is a typical food court where ALL KINDS OF FOODS r on sale and available, AT LEAST. It is situated just opposite the Taylor college which i will mention to u all again later. Well, we reached the cafe at around 7.15pm, but only managed to order my food at around 8.00pm. It was very difficult to plump for so many food stalls. All the foods looked utterly scrumptious to me. I could feel an instant surging urge to eat all of them, provided that i brought enough cash lah. Btw, it is also a bad habit as a result of influence by ph. Have become so hesitant and irresolute nowadays. Only she knows why is it so. So, her fault again. Blek... :p After the dinner, we went to the internet cafe located just beside the food court while waiting for the rain to stop. It was 1.5 hour later when we left the cafe and walked to subang jaya ktm station. Finally, we were back to hostel at almost 11pm. Drowsy and sleepy...nitez...On the next day (Friday)which was the last schooling day before the sem break, i went to the music block after the lessons as usual and had been practising piano there for 2 hours since then. Without realising what was happening in truth, i just felt tired all the time. May be caused by the recent sleep scarcity due to the onerous and taxing revision works for tests and something else. swt....Guess what was next? yeah...another unlikely schizophrenic thing of the year : NOT GOING BACK HOME FOR SEMESTER BREAK. Nothing special also. Just planned to spend more time for revision. Couldn't focus at all if staying at home. swt.... therefore, during the week, apart from spending most of my time for 'that thing', i also went out to kl to loiter around ( more accurately, around the book shops.). I wasn't the only one who was staying. There were other ALUK friends who didn't go back too. hmm...basically,that was all what i had gone through so far.



Family day in City Harvest Church (31 August 2009)

Well...i went to City Harvest on National Day. It was the first activity of Community Care Programme. I am in Team 15. Basically, this activity was held to raise fund for charity. My team is in charge of those Down Syndrome kids. Blah blah blah....lazy to write. See photos bah. :p

Memories(Year 2003 - current )and Belated Wishings.....

This part concerns about my old life and is quite long. So, for those bloggers and readers who r not interested may skip this part lah. Don't need to waste ur time. :p Before coming to the end, i have some messages....hmm...memories to be shared with some old good friends who had gone oversea last week. On Tuesday (25 August 2009), my best friend Ken Nee went back to Moscow. Finally, he LEFT. I was actually planning an outing with him that time before he had to go. Who knew i received his message just the night before his departure... Right on the next day (26 August 2009), another good friend of mine, Zhung Lun had also gone to Torronto, Canada. Forget about this fellow dulu, bcoz i want to go on with ken nee 1st. This fellow, well, i have to admit here at last, a bloody fellow who had changed me a lot. I was only in the same class with him during Form 2. However, this was indeed the significant yet critical year which had moulded me so much in all aspects, including personality and academic studies. Well...perhaps it is time for me to reveal something regarding my life in my primary school. In fact, I didn't have any friends in my primary school. Not even ONE. I suppose this had been remained as a secret for such a long time since i left that hellhole...i wouldn't proceed into details as i don't want to recall those nightmares. I don't like....and hatred my childhood...well...On the very 1st day when i 1st came to my secondary school (vi), i was alone throughout the day. That time, i still couldn't speak in English and BM at all (that was why...scoring 7As for UPSR was absolutely a shocking miracle for everyone, including my parents as well...). Therefore, there was no way for me to communicate with other people. Even the Chinese-educated people also conversed in english.... Luckily, i was in the same class with daniel see that time. He had helped me a lot, actually. Helping me a lot in translating what the teachers were talking about during the lessons. Indolence was my nature that time. I showed no efforts in overcoming this problem by the thought of 'there is always tomorrow'. As a result, my overall performance for academic studies was very teribble during Form 1. Only got 111th place in the whole form. What a lucky number... Anyway, we all still managed to gather around in VIRCS ( Victoria Institution Red Crescent Society ). 'We' is referred to as me, ken nee, daniel, zhung lun, joshua hor, chin yap, kennard lai and eng hong......then, i was in the same class with ken nee during form 2. For ur information, our school didn't categorise us according to exams results de. Just randomly picked and choosed. Ken Nee was and i think 'is still' used to be an extremely talkactive person. U know, he got shifted place by Puan Sooriya to the corner of the class bcoz he had talked too much with me. swt...anyway, he is a very hardworking and intelligent person. I really learnt a lot from him and thus got influenced by him. He is very 'lan si' one. There was one time that he showed off in front of us, saying how well could he study! I was damned irritated by it and from that time onwards, i studied really really hard, till today!!! hmm...not really was all bcoz of him, but he was really an important partner for me to study with. Blah blah blah...so afterall, we got to know our form position at the end of the year . I got 6th place in the whole form. Forgot ken nee's one, but was more or less around there. Should be 5th place in the whole form if not mistaken. Hehe...never mind. I had improved a lot ady. From 111th to 6th place in the whole form woh...i wondered if ken nee was shocked by it that time. Besides academic studies, i also worked very hard on the languages. Basically, i would have to converse in 5 different languages per day. Mandarin, Cantonese, English, BM, and Hakka. And also read 5 to 6 newspapers per day. 南洋商报、中国报、光明日报、星洲日报、The Star (sponsored by school)、Berita Harian...and magazines (borrowed from my friends de)....I worked especially hard for bm and english. Fortunately ken nee was really proficient with the languages. Of coz lah, I even learned a lot of bad words from him. haha...Form 3. Got into the same class with daniel again. But this class was much more challenging. The top student was in our class. His overall average score was never lower than 90%. But there was one thing special about him. We never see him studying in class. The only time he took out his book was to teach other people. 你好ye, theen yew. 算你狠。So, in that year, we still studied our own ways. Not too bad, got 2nd place in my class and 3rd place in the whole form. Only lost to theen yew and ken nee (Arghh....差一点点就赢鬼你了...)....My life was then prodigiously altered during Form 4. I was actually lonely for most of the time. But might still go to daniel and zl's class to make disturbance. Haha...brothers ma... Apart from studying more than other friends, i was also addicted to piano. The thought of learning piano came to my mind when i 1st saw daniel playing 童话 during late Form 3. He is really a fantastic pianist. Therefore, i also want to be like him in future. Thank you, daniel. U are the person who brought me into musical life. I started self-learning piano at early Form 4, and the 1st song i managed was 珊瑚海 by jay chou. Took great 3 months for me to memorise the whole piece. Haih...i don't own a piano at home ma. School remained the only place where i could learn it. Only my good friends know how crazy i was for it last time.....Chin Yap left us, shifted to another school in Malacca during Form 4. One good friend. Richard Yap was the second one, who had moved to New Zealand. He is a very friendly guy to mix with. However, i m kind of solitary person so sometimes really felt a bit ashamed to be with him... My Form 4 and 5's life was all about being busy, busy and still busy!!! That was why i never attend any tuition classes before. Another reason was to use the money in buying more reference books, besides mitigating my family's financial burdens at the same time. Haha U know, i had around 2-3 reference books by different publishers for each subject i took last time, excluding the workbooks. Ken Nee, that was why u could lose to me sometimes. Blek...not gonna mention about the results thingy here as we took different number of subjects, but was more or less the same lah. Both of us will nvr beat the top one. Damn miss those days...Zhung Lun's turn! Feel so paiseh when talking about such person. I just wondered how come he has become my buddy for such a long time! I m not bluffing. U would feel very paiseh just by looking at his face. 看到你的脸都不能发财叻!This fellow, had bad temper and enjoyed PONTENG-ING RC meetings! I think he should thank me instead lah. I was the one who had helped him a lot man. I couldn't think of any incidence or events by which i can feel grateful for him. Dah lah want to fly to Canada also never tell....Anyway, that was basically how had i gone through for the past 5 years in vi. Sob...insulated from contacts with girls, studied all the time, busy with co-activities, sports, piano, Times-SquarING.....but more time for my buddies!!! For the End, i hope it is not too late for me to convey my feelings and wishings to u guys. U all r the ones who make my life explosive!!! All the best to ur studies and take good care. Same to Yu Shaun also, my junior from Russian programme, who had just graduated from INTEC(20 August 2009). Ken Nee, if u have read through this post, i want to remind u that u better don't be 'lan si' so much. Our competition hasn't end yet. Please be constantly vigilant to how i m gonna perform for the 'big project' lah. 我们走着瞧。加油!^_^ Haih...who can bring me back to old time? Damn miss those days....


It really takes time, but am realised at last. Friends, juniors and everything, I appreciate what i have now, bcoz I LOST THEM BEFORE.
