Wertytrew's Life

Date: Saturday, 25 April 2009

Time: 8.30am – 3.00pm

Venue: SMK(P) ST.GEORGE

I desperately need people’s help to buy the coupons. Every student is required to buy one booklet of coupon worth RM50. It’s sell or die. If anyone were to buy RM1/2/3/4…50, I would really appreciate that. But, if someone is willing / wants to buy the whole RM50 booklet, I am READY ANYTIME to do that.

Some activities “confirmed” to be organised:

• Ghosthouse
• Stores selling food and drinks. Eg: Floats, carbonated drinks, sushi, junk food, japanese food….etc.
• Games
• Performances by most of our schools’ clubs, music bands, cheerleading…
• Marching competition from Uniform Bodies
• Melepaking
• Enjoying yourself

So, let me know if you wanna buy the coupons. The coupons come in the form of RM2, RM3 and RM 5.

1. Night life!

Oh yeah, this is the night! After a whole week of studying, this night is probably my greatest night ever. Friday morning come back early from school since we are released at 12.30pm. 4 subjects only specially for today except it’s 2 periods for 3 subjects. Tomorrow and Sunday are holidays. Uncles, aunties and cousins visiting me every Saturday. This is the only time I can play games with someone else. Usually, I’m a loner or got kicked away from my computer because Jo Yee ( the child under my mom’s “baby-custody”) likes to chiau my computer and play her Cars---Lightning McQueen movie---)

I still have tonnes of homework to do. I already being left out in Additional Mathematics after I kept delaying from doing the homeworks. Left out in the first week of studying?!? Images from my future SPM results starting to flash in front of me. I can expect what I’m gonna get…hm…bad sign.

There are a few things happened since I didn't blog for like 1 month++.

1. Exam
Okay, now final exam had finished. I can guaranteed all my results like s***. I didn't really into the study-mood as usual. It's kinda weird, although I didn't prepare for this final exam me and the others were not really that "kan-chiong" mood or stressed out(a lot). I guess we already prepared for the worst without trying our best. Well, I have to "pia" next year since our biggest exam is on that year. No more honey-moon year. In fact, one week before exam(holiday) I was like watching online movies like crazy. "I am Legend" & "The Independence Day" were the 2 movies I liked most. I still reminds people not to watch "Disaster Movie" because the title explains every single details I want to tell. I thought it's gonna be nice since they produce the "Scary Movie 4". But, it sucks all time. Not funny and I don't even understand the storyline (I know my English verryyy poor but this is the worst movie that I don't even understand a single part of it).

2. Sims 2
Immediately after exam, I didn't go to play maple as usual. I felt no mood to do so(until now still the same). But, after the child whose my mother is babysitting (Jo Yee) asked me to install back the Sims 2, suddenly I think the game is nice and started playing every single day. Plus, May Lyn borrowed me some of the expansion packs which are really cool. So, I was addicted to that game again after not playing for like more than half a year. May Lyn bought the "cetak rompak" disc for RM24 and it contains more than 15 Sims 2 & Sims 1 expansion packs. In US, one expansion pack costs around $30 dollar. They should have lowered down the price so more people can afford to buy. Not like what's happening in our country and other countries as well. Downloading from the internet and buying copies illegally. Actually, that's exactly what I'm doing right now. I downloaded a few expansion packs. So, for those who want the packs, ask from me and I charge RM2 per packs(LOL!! JKJK!! For free I mean).

3. Sick
I forgot to mention that I sick like a pig from the day I started the exam until the moment I am blogging now. Flu is my worst enemy. Just watched a few "alien flu" invasion movies like "The Invasion" and "Day of the Dead(2008)", they gave me chills if I ever be a zombie. HAHAHA!! The first victim I kill if I happens to become a zombie is.......>>>(mission impossible music playing)>>>is myself, so that I won't be able to kill others. I will be first zombie to be granted "The Noblest Zombie Ever In History". Muahahah!! Back to original topic, I did go to shopping mall with some of our friends here> Ashley, Jolene, Zi-Ling, Tabitha & Natalie and watched "House Bunny" although I am still sicking. It's been almost a year I last saw Zi-Ling( my old schoolmate). She still walks her old same style. If you guys are wondering, she walks like Renee.
No offence but it's truly an art of walking. Make her your master-sifu if you wanna learn that. I guess nobody can still beats Kah Mei's "cat-walking" style. Actually, I think Kah Mei's one is the EXTREME type. So, I'm advising the other children NOT to follow her.

4. Tabitha's Party
After having Tabitha as a friend for like 7 years, I have never been to her party nor any of my last time schoolmates' parties. Don't blame me because I have to (sort of) obey my "Form 4 Going Out With Friends Rule". Anyway, her house is really humongous. 3-storey bungalow and it has a magnificient view from the high ground. I did built her house in Sims 2 but not sure about some of the parts. Her mother is great, VERY open-minded and funny. Her father looks like my father(just my father is not that charismatic), looks strict but soft inside. The food are really nice especially when Tabitha got 4 cakes for her birthday party. A lot of food actually are on the table including specially "cute-made-pink" jellies by Denise and Ashley's "chef-style-eggy" sandwich. Dianne brought the shepard pie(not sure the spelling) and so from there I ate my first beef. Actually, I don't mind eating beef since my brother and father also eat beef themselves. But, I don't really like the taste(not used to). My favourite still the "soft-white-crunchyskin" CHICKEN! Suddenly, I feel like working in KFC so that I can smell the "The Smell of Chicken" and steal the spicy flavour chicken everyday. Again, back to original topic, at one time after Denise told me that she doesn't know how to blow a balloon, so I go try blowing a balloon but the balloon will NEVER ever inflate. This is what they call "sui" in Hokkien. Not I don't know how to blow, just that the balloon is stupid(blaming the balloon instead). I swear I know how to blow, last time. Need some practise maybe.

I don't really wanna talk about my photo-abusing event there. There is one that I still couldn't accept the fact that Dianne posted it on Facebook. Dianne, maybe you're my second victim to be bitten if I be a zombie....That picture is just HORRIBLE, actually my face does play a part but just keep the photo as a "memory", don't go posting around the net please. Right now, I didn't go check Friendster yet whether they have posted that picture or not.

A phenomenon.....
The time for exam. When this is the monsoon raining month, students around the nation are busy studying for their final exam(suddenly become like a story narrator). Actually, it feels kinda better to study in a cold weather condition. Rather than on a hot, shiny day. Makes you feel sleepier. So, why am I not doing that right? Not because I have studied, just couldn't stand the temptation to use the computer.

Honey-mooning....
HAHAHA!! That day, my brother just said that let me to "honeymoon" for this year. Then, next year I must "PIA" liau. I cannot imagine next year where I will be having one of the worst major exam in Malaysia, SPM( Sijil Penilaian Menengah).

*Update, 1.05pm: MY BROTHER JUST CALLED IN AND TOLD US THAT HIS WIFE'S HOUSE KENA DIROMPAK. NOT LONG AGO, HIS WIFE JUST KENA DIROMPAK IN FRONT OF HIS HOUSE. BUT, SHE DIDN'T REALLY GOT HURT. Now, even worse case. Morning, morning also her house already kena dirompak. Luckily, my brother only worked for half day today. My brother said this time kena dirompak teruk, teruk. A LOT of things gone, including the wedding ring. WHAT A SAD CASE!!

2 Days ago, there's a house below my floor, 8th floor(I live at 9th floor) just kena dirompak masuk also. That house owner lost a few cameras and a laptop. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE SOCIETY RIGHT NOW?!?!? MORE TO SAY THAT "WHAT'S WRONG WITH OUR COUNTRY RIGHT NOW"?!?

Cheh, at first dont' want to blog for so long one. In the end, blog until here. I will post some updates later on. Somemore, this title of this post also not related to this robbery case. "Kau lat"!!

1. Teacher's case (ask me personally if you wanna know who...)
Yesterday, when we were discussing about one of the articles (Smut Surfers) in Cakna English Workbook, she asked us how to prevent small children (about 9-11 years old) from going into pornography sites?

Class answered:

• Educate them
  
• Give them enough exposures, so that they won't go into that kind of sites.
• Teach them not to go. Tell them they are baddd!

Lazy to go to school...
I felt like not going to school tomorrow, scared situation in Penang got chaotic. LOL!! What a "good" reason. Surprisingly, many of my friends didn't know that tomorrow is the day where Anwar/PKR might take over the BN Government. Aren't they reading the news in the newspaper of TV? Although, I don't really know the real story behind it, but bottomline, the status of our government is at risk if they do not start to act. Well, that's why I scared that everything will be in chaos and curfew will happen. I hope that do not happen because people will be having difficulty to go out and things like that.

Nuzul al-Quran Day...
By the way, this wednesday is the "Hari Nuzul al-Quran" or also known as Nuzul al-Quran Day. I think in English, it is a day to remember the date where Prophet Muhammad got the first phrase of al-Quran in Hira Cave. Anyway, for us students, IT'S HOLIDAY. That's all we want to know, I guess. Since it's a holiday this wednesday, I feel more to truant from school tomorrow as I will get 2 straight holidays!!

Setting a new world record......
I got to know that Penang is organizing the world's largest dragon boat race after reading The Star newspaper this morning. Though I know that Penang did organized dragon boat race every year ( if I'm not mistaken), but this time they are planning to host the largest festival. Coincidentally, former British Prime Minister, Tony Blair was in a visit to Malaysia on Tuesday to attend the 22nd Sultan Azlan Shah Law Lecture in Kuala Lumpur and State Tourism, Culture, Arts and Heritage Commitee chairman, Danny Law Heng Kiang is planning to invite him to attend the event.

Doing community service......
I went on a school trip to the Penang Home, housed to around 285 old people. The trip was organised in conjunction with the Moral Language Week in my school. There were about 50-60 students following the trip there. This is also the first time I go to an old folk's home...officially...Once I went there just to visit around the Penang Home without spending time with the old citizen there. Besides that, I need this community service to complete my Moral course work. Having fun with the old people is too another reason.

Beginning.....
Before we started boarding our buses(2), our teachers gave us some taklimat( a set of brief guide) of our trip. Actually, the way to the Penang Home from our school is just like 15 minutes of driving. So, approximately we reached there at about 8.15am. Though, I had wished to sleep a little longer in the bus....In fact, we have been told that we had reached there a little earlier. The people in charged there had planned for us an activitiy to do Xiang Gong with the old people. So, practically we had a nice half an hour of Xiang Gong with them.

The tour.......
One of the person in charged in that home is Mr. Chandran. He gave us a tour of the home and there were plenty of facilities for the oldies. I am happy for them...Among the facilities provided are Dewan Rekreasi(Recreational Hall), Klinik(Clinic)-24 hours of medical care, Karaoke, pebble pathway, television, Bingo playing area and a lot more. Overall, the place is very clean and ideal as the home is very near to the Lam Wah Ee Hospital. During our tour, we had a chance to talk together with the old folks there. They were happy to share their experiences of staying at the home with us.

Performance time....
After that, it was performance time. The first performance was performed by a group of old people. They sang a chinese song(not sure the title). One of the lead singer even sang us a MALAY SONG! She was energetic while singing the song solo. Then, it was our turn to perform. My class was the first group to perform. We sang Do-Re-Mi as we have thought that they might like it. At first, we had planned to sing both Do-Re-Mi and "Mua Li Hua" songs. But then, think again the MuaLiHua song was too hard for us. There were quite a number of performances that were planned for the old folks, including feshion shows(I don't really agree with that either), more singing, and group singing with the old folks(One of the songs were The Sha-La-La song).

Nearing the end....
Before we ended the trip, we had a birthday party for the old people there who had their birthdates in the month of July. We gave them some gifts before we left the Penang Home. They thanked us for coming to entertain all those old folks. I am glad that we did something for them. Good efforts come from the hearts, not just assets.

*I hope I am able to upload some pictures on this trip*

Update: I have finished uploading all the pictures for viewing.

This is Penang Home, located somewhere in Green Lane, beside Lam Wah Ee Hospital.

Exam is finished....
After around 3 weeks of 'exam-mining', I am free from the mental torture now. Cheers..!!! I have examined myself more than needed. The last paper today was the Additional Mathematics 2. It was so damn hard. I could hardly do all the questions. Anyway, I just tried, using my own theory. Usually, when I don't know how to answer any of the questions, I will either 'hentam/tembak-la' because I feel it is such a waste not to even try to answer it. Well, you don't know the answer you're about to give is wrong, right? If it's wrong, at least you have tried your best.

Tonnes of works ahead.....
Although I am officially not going to school anymore for these two weeks as the mid-year holiday starts this Saturday and I am going to truant from school tomorrow, but I have a lot of things to settle at home. First, I need to cut out all the newspaper articles for myself(I am an avid newspaper cutter). Then, I need to do all 'left-over' school homeworks. I also have to finish up my own short notes for most of the subjects. The most important thing is I have to(if can...hopefully) finish playing my Hellgate London character which is level 8 now. Sweat....I only have 2 weeks time and I am not even a pro/semi-pro gamer. So, seriously, I don't think I can finish the 50 level game.

(1.55am).....
Yes, at last after today's last exam paper, Additional Mathematics I am free!!! MERDEKA!!! But for now, I have to stay up and not study but play some games, blogging and surfing the net first before I do some exercises on the subject. Actually, I didn't stay up all night for fun. In fact, I have been getting into this kind of habit of sleeping these few days(Aphm Kong Chiau). First, I reach home at 3pm. Then, starting to sleep from 4pm until 11pm. That's a total of 7 hours!!! After that, only I bathe and eat my dinner. What a way of life...

Hiking....
I went hiking on Monday, 19 May 2008. I didn't write a post as I was too lazy. That was my first time hiking and it felt great although it was a little bit of tiring. I went hiking at the 'Bukit Jambul' hill spot. I don't know what's the official name of the place but I know it's somewhere near INTI(International College Penang). The hill was really steep for me and I had to use a lot of force to push me up by climbing on the rocks and grabbing on the tree roots. Even the child my mother was baby-sitting followed us there. She is around 5 years old this year. I can see that she was really excited to go there. There was a just a small problem for her to climb because she was wearing a pair of slippers. Fortunately, she got some help from my uncle who is around 50 years old and he practically climbs the hill approximately 4-5 times per WEEK!!!

I don't even think my father could do that almost every single day. My muscles were aching since Tuesday afternoon especially near my thigh. Gosh..the condition got worse day after day until today I had problems climbing up and down my schools' stairs. Actually, I was quite surprised that I had agreed to follow my mom and my uncle to go for hiking as I usually don't like going out. I guess I just don't like going out for eg. shopping and instead I prefer to do recreational activities like jogging, playing badminton, hiking, and stuffs like that.

SEGAK...

Starting this year, there's no more 'UDTA' assessment for PJ, (I think 'PJ' is called as PE subject in US) like the years before. Instead, the government introduced this 'Program penilaian Standard Kecergasan Fizikal Kebangsaan Untuk Murid Sekolah Malaysia(SEGAK)' thing, almost the same as the old assessment that requires student to run 1.5km, push ups, half-sit ups and Leg-stretching(jangkauan melunjur).


Though, this 'SEGAK' is a little bit different, still we need to do push ups. I always hate to do push ups mostly because I don't have a pair good, strong hands to support my body. I only managed to do 12 push ups. Sucks...!! Today, I woke up with my whole body felt like a jelly, but with muscle pain everywhere especially at my hands. Ya...now I looked "SEGAK" (in Malay 'segak' means neat/smart/elegant).

What an attitude ....
Yesterday after school, my bus came and picked me up. Luckily, it came. I had to stand because there was no place at all in the entire bus and I was the first to stand. Fine with me...Then, I needed to move further back as the bus picked up more students from another school. So, I was standing beside a seat. Two girls were seating there.

At first, one of the girls( Let's named her Girl A, stand for " Angry Ass Girl") was feeling uncomfortable and started showing her damn expressions, doing her 'Chik!!Chik!!( something like that when your're annoyed) because my bag kept touching her left hand. So, I said sorry to her. Maybe she didn't hear me, who knows???. After a while, Girl A was still complaining to her friend sitting beside her that the girl standing beside her(obviously talking about me) kept touching and pushing her hand. I mean like it's normal that the bus braked often and the people standing aren't really that stable....

Girl A was still annoyed at me and pushing me back with her elbow instead. That's when I thought I need to do something or not I will lose my temper. I couldn't just simply stand there hearing her shit voice complaining and pushing me again and again. Well, you could have thought of me scolding her or punching her, right...I felt like doing so, but I even wanted to like chop her left hand off since she couldn't even stand such a small thing. No, I didn't. I just turned away from that sucker and stand opposite of her seat.

She stopped her complaining and sort of like staring at me when I turned away. (Choi hui tek soh...!!!) I didn't even look at her 'sucking' face. Make me puke.... I went home and still thinking at that incident and my life too. Suddenly, I felt so stressed at that moment. Not because of that incident, there was something else that bothers me. I knew that was just a small thing and I shouldn't be angry or annoyed. So, I calmed myself down and went to take a nap of 3 hours. Relaxed....feeling fresh after that.

No school for me......
I truant from school again today. If I go to school today, I don't really gonna learn anything because my school is going to be used as a debate center for the state level and they are going to use the building where the Form 4 and Form 2 students are using. Anyway, I use my time wisely this time. I am revising for my coming exam, 6th of May. At least, I don't use the time to play computer games like crazy, though I still play but at a 'decreased' rate of playing.

Oh ya, I am not sick anymore. CHEERS!!!! After a whole day of stomach pain on Monday, now I am fresh again. Actually, the pain did improved yesterday but much better today, with no pain at all. Too bad I missed the 'Fight Back To School' movie, (starring Stephen Chow) on Monday night because of that stupid stomachache. For me, Stephen Chow is the best Chinese actor because he has this great sense of humor. I can watch his movies for a thousand times...still not sick of them.

Xtra: Self-Painting Elephant

Old time...
I do remember that when I was in primary school time, every time I come home, I will watch one of his movies particularly the 'God of Gamblers 3: Back to Shanghai' until I know most of the scripts. Lol...If I am not mistaken, Stephen Chow is also the producer of the latest coming Dragonball The Movie(live action).

"Justin Chatwin (”War of the Worlds”) will play Son Goku, while James Marsters (”Buffy the Vampire Slayer”) will play Goku’s arch rival Piccolo. Other major roles are currently being cast… a few favourites to join the cast include “Heroes” star James Kyson Lee and Hong Kong based actor Edison Chen. "

Hurray...
I am going to change my class around in May or June. Since the 'Lembaga Peperiksaan' said that the EST(English for Science and Technology) subject is a not compulsory for all students this year..., so I get to choose whether to take it or drop the subject. I chose to DROP the subject!!!

This means I got to change my class and now, officially I am going to 4Mutiara class. Most of my friends are over there. However, you may start thinking that I drop the subject just because my friends are over there. You're wrong because that is not the main reason why I dropped the subject although it does affect my choice. The main reason I dropped it as I don't want to suffer my next two years studying another extra subject just to get another 'A' in my SPM examination. I don't think it's worth it and I think 9 subjects is more than enough because I'm not planning(for now) to take any scholarships to further my studies.

No matter what happens, I will not regret taking this move and I believe that everything happens for a reason. There is a solution to every problems..

Very Syok...
Yes, that's right...I ponteng(truant) from school today. As I expected yesterday, I knew I would not have the mood to go to school today for some reasons. One of them was to accompany my cousin who came all the way from Pahang to pray our grandfather and grandmother. In fact, I didn't even regret of missing school today because I finished up my moral folio although I only had done the 'tugasan harian' part, which was 4 essays. I still have another two more essays to do about 'kerja amal'(charity works).

Swimming, then shopping....
Anyway, I was glad that I was able to accompany my cousin today. We were adding friends in Friendster in the morning and I brought her to the swimming pool in the afternoon. After that, we went to Queensbay Mall to have some shopping together. Suprisingly, I was able to buy a T-shirt today and it cost about RM15. Even that, my aunt bought for me. Usually, I don't really like going out and didn't really had the chance to buy clothing for myself. So, I am happy today. As for my cousin from Pahang, she needed to buy a nose stud because she lost it in the swimming pool. We went searching for the nose studs in many, many shoplots but couldn't find it. At last, she found it at a shoplot that sells a lot of accessories. Still, the nose studs that were selled there were in poor state. My cousin still bought a pair of them because she scared that the hole on her nose will closed up.

Sad...
However, the sad part is that I have to go to school tomorrow. Argh....ket sam..Well, life goes on for everyone including myself as a student. Alright, I'm very sleepy now and I guess the SLEEPINESS stops me from doing anything else for today again...Oh, ya!!! Almost forgotten that tomorrow is April's Fools Day. I hope this year I am able to trick my friends again...
